[CoD 1.1] Does modifying game["menu_team"] applies only to self?

[raphael]

Hello

Do you know if modifying game["menu_team"] applies only to self?

I tried self game["menu_team"] = ... but that gives me a bad syntax error

I'm not sure how I could check if it does or not ...

I don't get what you're trying to do. If you're trying to edit which menu file gets shown to players, just do it through script. If you're trying to modify it globally, then why are you using self? Also, who (or what) is self in the context that you're describing?

If you're trying to edit which menu file gets shown to players, just do it through script.

Do you mean it's possible to set a specific team menu to a specific player through gsc ? (I mean not globally/not for everyone)


Also, who (or what) is self in the context that you're describing?

In this context, self is a player

Here is the code I'm trying to make working :


//1. Put this file in the "codam" folder of the "main" server folder.
//2. Add the below line to "modlist.gsc":
//[[register]]("Promod", codam\promod::main);

main(phase, register)
{
switch(phase)
{
case "init": _init(register); break;
}
}
_init(register)
{
if(isDefined(level.promod))
return;
level.promod = true;

[[register]]("PlayerConnect", ::playerConnect, "thread");
[[register]]("PlayerDisconnect", ::deleteVar, "thread");
[[register]]("gt_spawnSpectator", ::spawnSpectator, "thread");

I just ran my public server with that, when a player joined, clicking on a team just showed again the team menu (in my case)

[raphael]

I accidentally deleted the part where I explained what I'm trying to do

I'm trying to make some players execute the vid_restart command, at some specific moments

For that I set a custom team menu that exec a cfg file when being opened (I don't know another way to do it)

Edit:

On my testing server, I just reproduced what happened on the public one

When a player is joining and downloading files, the player who clicks a team just get the team menu again

When the player finished downloading and is in, now clicking a team propose to pick a weapon

I think I found a solution here :
- https://killtube.org/showthread.php?2815-Server-Redirection
- https://killtube.org/showthread.php?1261-player-execClientCommand(-quot-say-boobs-quot-)


It looks to be a better way/the way for what I try to achieve

I will tell if I succeed

edit: my issue is fixed using this "ExecClientCommand" trick
I don't need to modify the team menu anymore
