tr_walkway_rc by Washipato and Wiseguy149
--------------

This is a practice map focused on bots walking in straight lines, useful for training general aim
or special techniques, like airshots, airblast and airstabs... or just fooling around

For playing the map, you MUST JOIN THE RED TEAM

If it's your first time with the map, read the "Just starting" section and the "Notes" section
at the end of the file. Both have very useful information about the map that you should know
when playing. Read "Special options" to know about strange buttons and options in the map.

It's recommended to have the developer console open for this map. You can find how to open it in the
next section.

This map has sv_cheats turned on, so your stats won't be saved :)

INSTALLING THE MAP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Skip this section if you already know how to install the map and open the console**

To install the map, copy and paste the content of the .rar file inside

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<youraccoutname>\team fortress 2\tf\

To play it, open TF2, press "Create server" and in map choose "tr_walkway_rc". Be sure to
choose to have more than 17 players slots so the bots can join.
JOIN THE RED TEAM

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPENING THE CONSOLE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's very important to have the console opened for binding keys and loading aliases. This section
explains how to open it, in case you don't know how to.

Go to the "My games" tab in steam and right-click the "Team Fortress 2" game. From the menu,
choose "Properties" and then click the "Set launch options..." button. In the text box, add
"-console" without the quotes. The next time you open the game, the console will be open.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTROL ROOM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's possible to customize several options, like which classes spawn, how fast they walk, how long
it takes to deploy more bots in the map, etc. Those options can be changed inside the "control room"
firing or hitting the buttons. There are 5 kind of buttons, all of them intuitive.

1 light: Stand in front of it to know what it does. Shoot or hit the button to activate it.
2 lights: Stand in front of it to know what it changes. The feature can be turned off and on. Green
light means that the feature is activated, red that it's deactivated.
3 lights: Stand in front to know what option is actually selected. Shoot or hit the button to switch
between the different options. Doing this changes the text to show the actual state.
Plus button: raises a certain variable (movement speed, deploy time or launch-pad power)
Minus button: lowers a certain variable (movement speed, deploy time or launch-pad power)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TELEPORTING AROUND
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The players can teleport around the map using the console command "tr_teleport". Hit or shoot the
yellow and black blocks around the map to change the teleport destination. Bind tr_teleport to a
key of your keyboard to help you to move faster and lose less time walking. To do it, write
in the console:

bind <KEY> "tr_teleport"

Replace <KEY> to any key you want and then press enter to load it. Press the selected key
to activate the teleport.

There are more commands for the map that can be useful to bind, like "tr_attackonce"
and "tr_stop". More information about these in the console commands section.

SPECIAL OPTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this section I will explain uses for some features in the map that are not so obvious
like the rest

**Invisible walls**
Those are the walls at the sides of the track to make the bots stay on the walkway. You can turn
them off to practice airshots. The first option of turning the walls off is to hurt every bot outside
the walkway. The seconds turns the walls off, but don't damage bots that escaped from the walkway.

**Headshot training spawn button**
The bots and the way they move are not perfect. They play the "run" animation when moving, but their
hitbox (the part of them that detects when they are shot) stay in the "standing" animation.
There is no known way to fix this, but the impact that it has on gameplay can be lowered using
the "Spawn bots for headshot training" button. The bots will be facing a way so their heads will
match better with their hitbox. Only engineers, snipers, spies and demomen work and it's not perfect

**Aim up + attack**
Useful for practicing long range pipebombs airblast or airstabs with pyros

**Aim down + attack**
Real soldiers aim for your feet, you can choose to simulate that behavior. Aim down can
also be used to practice "airblast jumps"

**Less bots**
If your computer can't manage the map, activate "less bots" to reduce the number of bots,
increasing the overall performance

**tr_stop and no speed option+tr_attackonce**
Stopping the bots can be useful to practice airblast and airblast jumps.

**Resupply off**
Turn it off to practice ammo management or if you want to play little games where there
is a chance of dying

**Resupply off+attack**
This will make the bots attack, to add some "realism" and challenge to your practice
Note* Stay away from pyros...

**Hurt bots**
One of the most useful options. Light classes will spawn with 1 hp when you enable it.
Pyros will have 26 HP. This can be very useful to know how much damage are you doing
with every shot. It’s also great for fooling around.

**Launch pad random power and trajectory**
By default, the launchpad changes his power (how strong it pushes the bots) and his
trajectory (the initial strength’s angle) in small lapses of time. Airshooting becomes
more realistic with these features on, but the random power can be turned off to select
which one you want and the random trajectory can be disabled too to get the same flying
pattern for every bot.

**Raise and lower the hill**
Lower the hill if it's bothering you when training airshots or you want the bots to run
in a straight line.

**Slope change**
Useful for training stairstabs.

EXAMPLE GAMEMODES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Rocket+shotgun training**
Configuration:
- Spawn light classes
- Play soldier

Fire one rocket under a bot. When they are flying in the air shoot him with the shotgun. Try approaching the bots from
different angles and distances. This is a useful technique that can be used in real servers. It's possible to use scouts,
spies or medics too to practice.

**Airstab training**
Configuration:
- Bind tr_teleport to any key (for example, bind f tr_teleport)
- Play spy

Stand in a catwalk or somewhere high where bots walk (preferably near a black and yellow square). When a bot comes nearby,
drop or jump over him, crouch and stab him as soon as you touch his back. If it's done well, you will do a backstab. For
trying again, instead of walking to the spot where you started, shoot the yellow and black square and press the key you
bound to tr_teleport. This will teleport you to that position (note that the teleport don't change after using it, this
means that you don't need to shoot the square again every time you want to teleport to that place). The airstab technique
is very useful to all spies, so its recommended that you know the timing for using it in real games.

Notice that you can change the speed to scout to make the training more difficult. You can also use the teleporters located
on the beams in the roof for airstabing.

NOTE: airstabs has many names, like overhead stab, height advantage, etc. Some peoples says that they don't even need a name.
I used airstab and stairstab to differentiate the gamemodes.

**Sniper training**
Configuration:
- Spawn bots for headshot training
- Any dodging option (jump, strafe or back and forth)
- Play sniper

Find a good spot and practice. The bots spawned for headshot training work quite well for shooting them from the side,
compared to normal spawns. Find a quiet place and shoot them to the head. You can also stand on the track and do twitch-shots.

**Basic air-strafing**
Configuration:
- Remove all bots
- Launch-pad
- No random power
- High launch-pad power

Air strafing is useful for increasing rocket jump distance and decreasing the chances of being hit
while flying. This readme will not go deep in this move but basically, you need to press the strafe key
without pressing neither "w" or "a" and slowly move the mouse in the direction of the strafe key
(if you are strafing with "a", move slowly the mouse to the left). Normally, to practice this
technique you need to to rocket jump to get the initial impulse. With the launch pad, you can get
the initial impulse easier and practice airstrafing after being launched. For example, try to get
to the catwalks BEHIND of the launchpad or disable the random trajectory and using air strafe,
get a bigger distance when traveling in a straight line.

**Stairstab training**
Configuration:
- Play spy

Stand on the slope where the bots walk uphill. When one of them is coming, jump over him, crouch, spin 180º and hit him
with the knife when he is below you. Hopefully you will land a backstab. This is a famous trick, hard to pull off
but really rewarding, especially when it’s done to a real player. You can change the movement speed to scout to increase
the difficulty. Don't forget to change the slope too!

**ULTIMATE Sniper training**
Configuration:
- Spawn bots for headshot training
- Bots move back and forth
- Bots jump
- Bots strafe
- Short strafe time
- Scout speed
- Play sniper

Gamemode designed to make snipers cry (or feel godlike)

**Airblast training**
Configuration:
- Spawn airblast training classes
- Make bots attack
- Hurt bots (optional)
- Bots aim down (optional)
- Play pyro with default flamethrower

Practice rockets and pipebombs reflection. Hurt bots will make them easier to kill and bots
aim down gives soldiers a more realistic behavior.

**Revolver training**
Configuration:
- Random bots
- Bots move back and forth
- Bots strafe
- Long strafe timer
- Play spy

Train aim with the revolver. Snipe with the revolver low health classes. Jump around a move
like crazy for making the practice more realistic

**Airblast jump**
Configuration:
- Spawn soldiers
- Bots aim down
- Stop movement button or tr_stop
- tr_attackonce bound to any key (for example, bind f tr_attackonce)
- Critical hits off (optional)
- Play pyro with default flamethrower

Use the stop movement button after some soldiers are in the track to make them stop. You can
also use tr_stop console command. Find a soldier with an open space in front of him, preferably
at the beginning of the walkway and press the key binded to tr_attackonce. Position yourself
near the rocket hit and closer to the soldier. To airblast jump, make the bot fire, when the
rocket is about to hit you, jump, crouch and airblast the rocket under you. Try to reach high
places, like catwalks. Critical hits are turned off just in case you receive a critical rocket
to your face, but it can be turned on to perform high jumps. Use bot_refill to give the soldiers
ammo and health.

**Hard airstab**
Configuration:
- Spawn pyros
- Bots aim up
- Make bots attack
- Resupply off
- Play spy

It's just like stairstabs, but it makes them a lot more challenging. This also simulates real
pyros behaviour and let you see the real area of effect from the flame. Fail once and you will
be on fire, rushing to the medkit. NOTE: sometimes the pyro's flame will be invisible. To fix
it you need to turn on and off the bot's attack (binding tr_attack to some key helps too)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTRA BOTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The map will always spawn 16 bots. More bots can be spawned manually and will be teleported to the map.
If you want more bots, spawn them using:

bot -team 0 -name <name>
For kicking them, use

kick <name>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOT COMMANDS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valve included some bot commands inside the game. Here I list some of those commands that can
be used inside the map.

******************************
Add more bots:
bot -team <teamname/number> -class <classname> -name <botname>
<teamname/number>: 0 blu, 1 red
<classname>: Demoman, Engineer, HeavyWeapons, Medic, Pyro, Scout, Soldier, Sniper, or Spy
<botname>: name of the bot
******************************

******************************
kick <bot>: kick bot with <bot> name
******************************

******************************
bot_teleport <botname> <X> <Y> <Z> <Pitch> <Yaw> <Roll>
Teleports a specified bot to a given coordinate. Map coordinates of where you are standing
can be found by typing getpos in the console.
Example: getpos output
setpos -418.444855 3314.872070 -94.027405;setang 13.508876 -2.970791 0.000000
To use it in bot_teleport to teleport mybot there:
bot_teleport mybot -418.444855 3314.872070 -94.027405 13.508876 -2.970791 0.000000
******************************

******************************
bot_refill: Refills ammo, health and metal to bots
******************************

******************************
bot_selectweaponslot <botname> <n>
This makes specified bot select a specified weapon. 0 = primary; 1 = secondary; 2 = melee

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALIASES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can enter a string of these commands using a simple alias and change between different
ways of playing the map. Alias are used to call a group of commands and are very useful for
general scripting in the source engine.

Example:
Enter this string in the console to create the "tr_airblast" alias:

alias tr_airblast "tr_default; wait 10; tr_spawn_airblast; tr_deploy_4; tr_attack_ON; tr_speed_heavy; tr_hurt_ON"

Copy and paste the whole sentence in the console and press enter. This will create the
"tr_airblast" alias, which you can use anytime until you close TF2.

Entering this alias in the console (that is, writing "tr_airblast" without the quotes and
pressing enter) will set every option to default, then spawn soldiers and demomen and
force them to attack and move slower. It will also make them appear every 4 seconds and hurt
them by 124 (soldiers will start with 76 hitpoints and demomen with 51). Go pyro and you
will have a perfect setup for practicing airblast.

Another example would be:

alias tr_hardstab "tr_default; wait 10; tr_spawn_pyros; tr_resupply_OFF; tr_attack_ON; tr_aim_up"

You can practice stairstabs (or how you like to call them) with any class or speed, but with this
alias pyros will spawn firing their flamethrowers aiming upwards and resupply will be turned off, making
the practice a bit more challenging.

***********************************************************************************************
The hard part of the walkway
***********************************************************************************************

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CODING SYSTEM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The map features programming tools. Though it's hard to use and counter-intuitive, it's a
more powerful version of the scripts that come with TF2 by default and let you create simple testing
tools and mini-games inside the walkway. It has 5 variables that can be increased, decrease, compared
and reset. It also has 3 timers, a customizable buttons and text. All of these can be manipulated
using console commands.

The code is case sensitive. Most commands are aliases, but some others are ent_fire commands

*************************************************************************
Events
*************************************************************************

Events are the response of the coding system. They are commands that are loaded in the console.
There is an event after comparing 2 variables, when a bot walks to the end of the walkway, when
a timer reach zero and so on. All of them have the form:

==================
tr_ON<event>
==================

For example, tr_ONEQUAL is loaded in the console every time 2 variables are compared and they are equal
All events don't have any effect in the game. The user must program them. To do this, use:

==================
alias tr_ON<event> "<action>" // Will do <action> every time the <event> happens
alias tr_ON<event> // Will do nothing when the <event> happens
==================

For example, every time the timer A reaches zero, deploy a bot in the walkway

==================
alias tr_ONTIMERA "tr_deployonce"
==================

More than one commands can be issued to a single event. This can be used to modify the event that
just happened. Here, after the custom button is pressed, wait and make every bot attack once
then the button deactivates itself:
==================
alias tr_ONBUTTON "wait 120; tr_attackonce; alias tr_ONBUTTON"
==================

Events are the core of the system. If you want or need, you can activate them like any command using
==================
tr_ON<event>
==================

Complete list of events and when they trigger:
==================
Bot positions:
tr_ONSTART: a bot enters the start part of the walkway
tr_ONMID: a bot enters the middle part of the walkway
tr_ONEND: a bot enters the end of the walkway

Timers
*************************************************************************

Timers are an important part of the programming system. They are 4 logic_timer entities, it's possible
to set the refire time for 3 of them (A, B and C), the last one is a random timer. All of them start
disabled, they must be turned on to work with them. When the timers are activated, they start a
countdown of x seconds. When they reach zero, a command is loaded in the console and the timer restart.
x must be a float a value with 2 decimals (5.05, is ok, 5.006 is not)

Timers (entity name):

Timer A
-------
Entity name: custom_timer_a
Event: tr_ONTIMERA
Initial refire time: 0.01 seconds
--COMMANDS
tr_ONTIMERA: event
tr_TIMERA_ON: turn on timer A
tr_TIMERA_OFF: turn off timer A
ent_fire custom_timer_a refiretime x: set x as time for the timer A
Note: this will be a special timer useful to load and compare variable

Timer B
-------
Entity name: custom_timer_b
Event: tr_ONTIMERB
Initial refire time: 1 second
--COMMANDS--
tr_ONTIMERB: event
tr_TIMERB_ON: turn on timer B
tr_TIMERB_OFF: turn off timer B
ent_fire custom_timer_b refiretime x: set x as time for the timer B

Timer C
-------
Entity name: custom_timer_c
Event: tr_ONTIMERC
Initial refire time: 1 second
--COMMANDS--
tr_ONTIMERC: event
tr_TIMERC_ON: turn on timer C
tr_TIMERC_OFF: turn off timer C
ent_fire custom_timer_c refiretime x: set x as time for the timer B

Timer D
-------
Entity name: custom_timer_D
Event: tr_ONTIMERD
Initial refire time: 5(lower limit) to 10(upper limit) seconds
--COMMANDS--
tr_ONTIMERD: event
tr_TIMERD_ON: turn on timer D
tr_TIMERD_OFF: turn off timer D
ent_fire custom_timer_d addoutput "LowerRandomBound x": set the lower limit of the random timer to x
ent_fire custom_timer_d addoutput "UpperRandomBound x": set the upper limit of the random timer to x
NOTE: It's impossible to use "" inside aliases. The upper limit MUST be bigger than the lower limit

*************************************************************************
Relay
*************************************************************************
The relay is an event that triggers one second after it was called. It's useful
for setting up a program without using a timer

tr_RELAY: call the relay
tr_ONTRIGGER: event. Triggers one second after calling the relay

*************************************************************************
Position
*************************************************************************
It's possible to detect when a blu bot enters different parts of the walkway,
that is when they enter it (START) are in the middle (MID) or at the end (END).
This will be triggered once per time they enter it. You need to enable the events
before using them

tr_POSEVENT_ON: Enables position events
tr_POSEVENT_OFF: Disables position events
tr_ONSTART: event. Triggered when a bot enters the first part of the walkway
tr_ONMID: event. Triggered when a bot enters the middle part of the walkway
tr_ONEND: event. Triggered when a bot enters the final part of the walkway

*************************************************************************
Variables
*************************************************************************

All of them are integers, and their starting value is 0.
Their names are:
======
A
B
C
D
E
BUFFER
======
BUFFER is a special variable. More about it later

You can do 4 operations with variables
==================
INC: increase by 1
DEC: decrease by 1
RESET: reset to 0
LOAD: load the variable in the buffer
ent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var setvalue x : Set the value of VARIABLE to x
==================

All of these are issued by console commands in the way
==================
tr_<VARIABLE><OPERATION>
==================
For example:

tr_TIMERA_ON
alias tr_ONTIMERA "step1"
alias step1 "tr_ARESET; alias tr_ONTIMERA step2"
alias step2 "tr_AINC; alias tr_ONTIMERA; tr_TIMERA_OFF"

More about this structure in the next section

This lines will reset the variable A, wait 0.01 seconds using the timer A and increase
the variable A by 1. Final result: A = 1.

You can also do more advanced operations using ent_fire commands:

==================
ent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var add x : Add x to VARIABLE
ent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var subtract x : Subtract x to VARIABLE
ent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var multiply x : Multiply VARIABLE by x
ent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>var divide x : Divide VARIABLE by x
==================

EVENTS FOR VARIABLES:

When a value from a variable is changed, the new value is compared to a special number. By
default, that number is 0. The comparison will output a command depending on what is the
relation between the value in the variable and the one used for comparing it. The compare
value can be changed in any moment.

==================
tr_ON<VARIABLE>EQUAL: <VARIABLE> is equal than his compare value after changing the value of <VARIABLE>
tr_ON<VARIABLE>NOTEQUAL: <VARIABLE> is not equal than his compare value after changing the value of <VARIABLE>
tr_ON<VARIABLE>GREATERTHAN: <VARIABLE> is greater than his compare value after changing the value of <VARIABLE>
tr_ON<VARIABLE>LESSTHAN: <VARIABLE> is less than his compare value after changing the value of <VARIABLE>
ent_fire custom_<VARIABLE>varcomp setcomparevalue x: set the compare value of <VARIABLE> to x
==================

*********
Loading variables
*********
Always after changing the value of a variable, a time lapse is needed before using that
variable with the new value. The best way to be sure of getting the new value is using
the special timer A and creating a line of steps in the form:

==================
alias tr_ONTIMERA "step1"
alias step1 "<action 1>; alias tr_ONTIMERA step2"
alias step2 "<action 2>; alias tr_ONTIMERA step3"
alias step3 "<action 3>; alias tr_ONTIMERA step4"
....

alias laststep "<last action>; alias tr_ONTIMERA; tr_TIMERA_OFF"
==================

All actions will be activated with a 0.01 seconds delay between them. In every step,
tr_ONTIMERA is set to the next step and in the final one, tr_ONTIMERA is set to
nothing. The timer can also be disabled in this point until it's needed again and the
next step can be set to be the initial one.

All actions in a step are done simultaneously, so the order is not really important.

Always:

1) Load variables one step after the value has changed
2) Change the value of a compare event one step before comparing or changing the variable
3) If it's the last step, disable the timer or change the event of the timer to nothing

==================
alias laststep "<last action>; alias tr_ONTIMERA step1; tr_TIMERA_OFF"
==================

There is a good example in the "Compare" section

*************************************************************************
Buffer
*************************************************************************

To do any operation between two variables, you need to load them in the buffer first. Only one
variable can be buffered at the same time. The buffer is a variable, so you can manipulate it like
one, except it cannot be loaded.

Special operations with the buffer:

==================
tr_LOADX: load the integer in the buffer to the X variable
tr_LOADY: load the integer in the buffer to the y variable
tr_CASE: load the integer in the buffer to a the switch
==================

*************************************************************************
Compare
*************************************************************************

It's possible to compare one variable to another and know if it's equal, not equal,
smaller or bigger. The engine always compares the variable X to Y, their values can be
changed using tr_LOADX and tr_LOADY. Those commands change the variables to the value
in the buffer.

To compare X and Y, use:
==================
tr_CMP
==================

It will compare them and call the following commands in the console (events):
==================
if X equal to Y: tr_ONCMPEQUAL
if X not equal to Y: tr_ONCMPNOTEQUAL
if X is bigger than Y: tr_ONCMPGREATERTHAN
if X is smaller than Y: tr_ONCMPLESSTHAN
==================

For example, we want to compare variable A with B, if A is bigger than B, stop movement and
deploy. Here, the B variables has an initial value and A increases with the time. Copy this
text in a cfg file and name it var_test.cfg. Put the file in the /tf/cfg folder. Load it inside
the game using "exec var_test".

////////////////////////////////////////////
// tr_ONGREATERTHAN will stop movement and deploy and then say "A is bigger than B" in the
// console. It also stops the main timer

alias "tr_ONCMPGREATERTHAN" "tr_stop; echo A is bigger than B; tr_TIMERB_OFF"

ent_fire custom_Bvar setvalue 3 // Initial value of B = 3

tr_ARESET // A is reset to 0

tr_TIMERB_ON // The timer B (1 second) is activated

alias tr_ONTIMERB "tr_AINC; tr_TIMERA_ON;echo O" // Each time the timer B triggers, A
// is increased, timer A is activated (0.01 seconds) and "O" is echoed in the console
// to keep track on the time

alias tr_ONTIMERA "step1" // We set the fast timer to the first step in the line

alias step1 "tr_ALOAD;alias tr_ONTIMERA step2" // A is loaded in the buffer and set the next step to be step 2
alias step2 "tr_LOADX;alias tr_ONTIMERA step3" // X is loaded with the value in the buffer and set the next step to be step 3
alias step3 "tr_BLOAD;alias tr_ONTIMERA step4" // B is loaded in the buffer and set the next step to be step 4
alias step4 "tr_LOADY;alias tr_ONTIMERA step5" // Y is loaded with the value in the buffer and set the next step to be step 5
alias step5 "tr_CMP;alias tr_ONTIMERA step1;tr_TIMERA_OFF" // Compare, set the next step to be the first step and turn off timer A
////////////////////////////////////////////

After loading the code, bots will stop moving and spawning and "A is bigger than B" will
appear in the console.

*************************************************************************
Switch
*************************************************************************

The switch compares the variable in the buffer with numbers between 0 and 15.
To call the switch use

==================
tr_CASE: compares the buffer to numbers between 0 and 15, then it triggers
a case depending on the value.
tr_CASERAND: choose one of the cases randomly
tr_CASERANDSHUF: choose one of the cases randomly. The cases don't repeat until
all cases have been chosen
==================

If the value of the buffer is equal to any of these numbers, an event will
be triggered in the form

==================
tr_ONCASE00: if buffer is 0
tr_ONCASE01: if buffer is 1
tr_ONCASE02: if buffer is 2
tr_ONCASE03: if buffer is 3
tr_ONCASE04: if buffer is 4
tr_ONCASE05: if buffer is 5
tr_ONCASE06: if buffer is 6
tr_ONCASE07: if buffer is 7
tr_ONCASE08: if buffer is 8
tr_ONCASE09: if buffer is 9
tr_ONCASE10: if buffer is 10
tr_ONCASE11: if buffer is 11
tr_ONCASE12: if buffer is 12
tr_ONCASE13: if buffer is 13
tr_ONCASE14: if buffer is 14
tr_ONCASE15: if buffer is 15
==================

In case of the value not being equal to any of these values, it will trigger another
event

==================
tr_ONCASEDEF
==================

The switch can work like a randomizer using tr_CASERAND and tr_CASERANDSHUF

*************************************************************************
Custom button
*************************************************************************

There is a big yellow button at the start of the walkway. That's a custom button, when damaged it
loads the event

==================
tr_ONBUTTON
==================

Some weapons, like the huntsman and flamethrower cannot damage the button

*************************************************************************
Custom text
*************************************************************************

Text that appears on screen. Can save up to 3 different lines. Only one text can stay on
screen at the same time. Warning: don't use the " symbol inside the message.

Commands:

==================
tr_TEXT1: Display text 1 on screen
ent_fire custom_text1 addoutput "message <your message here>": Change the text 1
tr_TEXT2: Display text 2 on screen
ent_fire custom_text2 addoutput "message <your message here>": Change the text 2
tr_TEXT1: Display text 3 on screen
ent_fire custom_text3 addoutput "message <your message here>": Change the text 3
==================

*************************************************************************
Notes
*************************************************************************

- If you want to damage a bot (or a player) by 124 hp using the "hurt bot" option, the player/bot
must be teleported to (1664 566 510)

*************************************************************************
Galaga soldier mini-game
*************************************************************************
The map includes a mini-game showing some of the functions. It's located inside tf/cfg/gsoldier.cfg
To run it, enter "exec gsoldier" in the console.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CUSTOMIZE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some options around the map that can be tweaked by the user with commands. Those include the
bot movement speed, timers used for different features and the angle the bots aim. Take in mind that
all of the commands listed use ent_fire and some of them use "addoutput", so handle them with care
and check if they are well written before loading the command in the console.
Commands with "" inside them cannot be used in aliases.

MOVEMENT SPEED
****
ent_fire walk addoutput "speed <speed>"
****
Replace <speed> with the speed you want

AIM DIRECTION
****
ent_fire destination_walkway addoutput "angles x y 0"
****
x: This is the pitch. It goes from -90 to 90. -90 is straight up and 90 is straight down.
y: This is the yaw. It goes from 0 to 360. 270 is forward, 90 is backward,0 and 180 are left and right

DEPLOY TIME
****
ent_fire spawntimer refiretime <time>
****
Replace <time> with the time you want

JUMP TIMER
****
ent_fire jump_timer refiretime <time>
****
Time between jumps. Choosing a small one will make bots accelerate.Replace <time> with
the time you want (default 1.75)

STRAFE TIMER
****
ent_fire strafe_timer refiretime <time>
****
Time it takes for the bots to change strafe direction. Replace <time> with the time you
want (default 1.75)

BACK AND FORTH TIMERS
"Backward timer"
****
ent_fire back_timeron addoutput "LowerRandomBound <lowertime>"
ent_fire back_timeron addoutput "UpperRandomBound <uppertime>"
****
This timer controls when the bots go backwards. It's random, that means the timer changes it's refire
time everytime it ends counting. This time goes from <lowertime> to <uppertime>. Default values are
<lowertime> = 2.5
<uppertime> = 4.5
If you want to change these values, make sure the <uppertime> is bigger than the <lowertime>

"Forward timer"
****
ent_fire back_timeroff refiretime <time>
****
This timer triggers every <time> seconds (default 1.25). Every time it triggers, it makes the bots
go forward

LAUNCH PAD POWER
****
ent_fire launchpad_power addoutput "speed <power>"
****
This changes the power the launchpad pushes the bots. Use this command only when the "random power"
option is not selected or the power will be reset to random after a fraction of a second.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES (Important)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The bots don't walk, they are pushed using the track, so the behavior when they are pushed (airblast, FaN)
or exploded is a little different from real players walking. That difference is hard to perceive now (rc)
- The hitboxes from the bots behaves in a different way from real walking bots. There is no way to fix this.
- Damage spread is DISABLED by default. Having it enabled breaks the "hurt" function, making the
124 damage done by it suffer the damage spread, sometimes doing more than 124 damage and killing
light classes
- Don't use commands that issue move orders to bots (bot_flipout, bot_mimic). They will break the bots
deploy system
- When playing multiplayer, special commands are disabled for clients
- SV_CHEATS in ENABLED. Players can easily abuse this in LOTS of ways, so play with people you
trust. Disabling sv_cheats breaks the tr_teleport function, all the commands and some buttons.
- The map is a release candidate (rc). If you have any suggestion or find a bug, contact me sending a mail to
washipato@gmail.com or by steam (ID: washipato)
- I don't speak english very well, so this readme and the map must be full of typos :P

I hope you enjoy the map and find it fun and useful. Good luck!

****
NOTES FOR SERVER OWNERS
****

The map will set at the start of the round the following configurations:
# sv_cheats 1
# mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0
# mp_disable_respawn_times 1
# mp_waitingforplayers_cancel 1
# tf_damage_disablespread 1
# tf_weapon_criticals 1

sv_cheats is turned on, so it's recommended to use a plugin to disallow player from
using ent_fire commands. Disable any kind of external team-balancer plugin that the
server could be running

- Thanks a lot to wiseguy149 for his huge help in the last part of the project, cleaning up the
map, adding new features, optimizing, general mapping and lots of ideas and bug reports that
made the map work a lot better than it was before.
- Thanks to the ESG (elite spy group) community for his support and ideas. The group gave me
great feedback in many stages of the develpment. The map would not be what now is without
their help. People from ESG are NOT elitist. They are just a group of people who enjoy a lot
to play the spy class.
- Thanks to Dr. ROCKZO for his great work with the posters and the pacience to deal with my
suggestions
- Thanks to the Argentina community for the early help with the alpha (y disculpen
