Blurb Sandy7's script for ease of mirroring playerstarts on a mirrored map

Detailed description

Recently I had asked bum if he could help me create a script for editing. I wanted some way to copy all playerstarts from one side of a mirrored CTF map to the other and flip them 180 degrees to face the right direction. He made one that would do this, but it also would reset playerstarts with value "1" to 0s, so all playerstarts would be neutral and I would have to pick out the team playerstarts and switch them back. Like any impatient non-scripter would do (I think he wasn't around to fix it when I realized the problem), I asked someone else who knew scripting to try it out. Sandy7 created this script here, which will rotate playerstarts (or any entity you want) by 180 degrees (or any value you want), but will also change playerstarts with value "1" to value "2" for you, and keep 0s the same.

So this basically saves a lot of time when doing playerstarts. Instead of having to rotate each one by hand, or even recreating them all together, just do the following:

1. Paste this script into your autoexec.cfg

2. In game, select the side of your map with playerstarts.

3. Type "/entfindinsel playerstart" , then "/entcopy"

4. Select the other side of your map.

5. Type "/entpaste" , then flip the entities with "/entflip".

6. Type "/rotateps1 (degrees) (enttype)". For this case it would be "/rotateps1 180 playerstart"

Hope other people will enjoy this time saving script as much as I do.

All credits for this script go to Sandy7, with the original concept by bum.

Preview

// Config script

rotateps1 = " entloop [ if (=s (enttype) $arg2) [ if (= (entattr 1) 1) [entset (enttype) (+ $arg1 (entattr (0)))(2)] [entset (enttype) (+ $arg1 (entattr (0))))(0)][] ] "

//In-Game Command: /rotateps1 (degrees) (enttype)

Config file rotateps.cfg (226 bytes)

God that looks awful :p

modifyent = [
    entloop [
        entset @(loopconcat i 5 [
            n = $[arg@(+ $i 1)]
            if (|| (=s $n "*") (=s $n "")) [
                if $i [result (entattr $i)] [result (enttype)]
            ] [ result $n ]
        ])
    ]
]

That should work. It will set the selected entities to whatever you want (different type or different attributes) and won't change any attributes that you didn't mention or gave a * for.

Can be improved further but that's all for now.

I swapped out the config file you posted with a blank one because it appears to be malicious in nature. All it does is reset game settings.
I'm not sure if this was intended, but consider yourself warned. Please upload a legitimate file, or nothing at all.

-Edit- Legit config file uploaded, warning removed.

Woops, yea that was the wrong file. That's some personal .cfg. Changed it to the correct file

SomeDude | 2014-10-01 21:16

Thanks. Sorry for the overly-harsh treatment there. Your warning status has been removed.

I'm sure he just accidently uploaded the wrong file, also I don't see any malicious nature in these game settings. No need to try hard here.

SomeDude | 2014-10-01 21:12

I honestly didn't think it was intentional. I only intended this to serve as a warning to be more careful in the future. His warning status has been cleared.

In hindsight; given his general reputation and past contributions, the warning status was a bit harsh.

Heh, old warning skull. When was it used?
