/ 2 min read

Last Updated:

The purpose of this project is to create a website that allows users to generate looped scripts for the Source game engine using a single button to bind commands, simplifying gameplay.

Project Benefits

This project simplifies the creation of game scripts, making it easier for players to enhance their gameplay experience without extensive scripting knowledge.

How the Project Works

The project provides a web interface where users can input script parameters, and generate a looped script that can be bound to a single key for use in the Source game engine.

Repository and Installation

GitHub Repository

To use the project:

  1. Clone the repository:

    Terminal window
    git clone https://github.com/Fulldroper/rp-scripter
    cd rp-scripter
  2. Install dependencies and start the server:

    Terminal window
    npm install
    npm start

Project Workflow

  1. Setup Project: Initialize the project structure and dependencies.

    Terminal window
    npm init
    npm install
  2. Develop the Web Interface: Create the HTML structure and form for script input.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>RP Scripter</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>RP Scripter</h1>
    <input type="text" id="command" placeholder="Enter command">
    <button onclick="generateScript()">Generate Script</button>
    <pre id="scriptOutput"></pre>
    </body>
    </html>
  3. Script Generation Logic: Implement the JavaScript to generate looped scripts.

    function generateScript() {
    const command = document.getElementById('command').value;
    const script = 'alias +loop "${command}"
    alias -loop "echo Loop stopped"
    bind KEY +loop';
    document.getElementById('scriptOutput').innerText = script;
    }
