script request: capper's lament

Historical capture recovered from the Wayback Machine · captured 2003-06-05 · 3 posts

i have no idea if anything like this exists, but it doesn't seem too difficult so maybe it's out there or someone will be inspired to write it...

i'd like a script that would give a message saying what killed each capper, so the team can be made aware of what is stopping the offense and therefore needs to be dealt with. something like this could be very useful for support offense, and could even help out pubs a lot.

i could see two different setups for it; first the capper could install it himself and it could teamchat what kills him (forcing messages on the whole team), or second the support offense could install it and it would notify only them when a capper was killed.


"cappers" could be identified like this --

anyone grabbing the enemy flag (maybe only off the stand?) is obv a capper, so if they're killed say what/who killed them.

if anyone gives the VSAF or VFF bind, they're considered a capper for a certain timeframe, say 1 minute. if they are killed during that timeframe, the script would indicate what killed them. this bind method is there to include cappers who are killed before the grab.

even cooler would be something that could list everything that damaged a capper upon their death, so that if some guy chains them for the last speck, you'd still realize that the spider clamps took off 80% of his health and need to be cleared.


is anything like that out there? if not, does anyone feel like coding up??

I just look at the kill messages... or use TS2.

But sounds like it'd be an easy enough script.
