dynamic menu (custom menu), to trigger additional command alongside

Marchello · **Author**

I run l4d2 server, and have it added to my adminmenu_custom.txt

Code:

    "Gamemode"
       {
            "cmd"          "sm_cvar mp_gamemode #1"
            "execute"      "player"
            "admin"        "sm_kick"
            "1"
            {
                 "type"    "list"
                 "1"       "coop"
                 "1."      "Campaign mode"
                 "2"       "versus"
                 "2."      "Versus mode"
                 "3"       "mutation12"
                 "3."      "Realism-versus"
            }
        }

And here's the deal, when it switches game mode it doesn't affect maxplayers, so when I switch to "coop" l4d_maxplayers stays as it is (super versus).

So how get it automatically changing value of "l4d_maxplayers" to 4 as well? (l4d_maxplayers 4)
tried several options, didn't work out.

If you want it on all those modes, you can do this.

Code:

    "Gamemode"
       {
            "cmd"          "sm_cvar mp_gamemode #1; l4d_maxplayers 4"
            "execute"      "player"
            "admin"        "sm_kick"
            "1"
            {
                 "type"    "list"
                 "1"       "coop"
                 "1."      "Campaign mode"
                 "2"       "versus"
                 "2."      "Versus mode"
                 "3"       "mutation12"
                 "3."      "Realism-versus"
            }
        }

If it's different per mode, I think it might possible to put it possible in the argument, like this.

Code:

    "Gamemode"
       {
            "cmd"          "sm_cvar mp_gamemode #1"
            "execute"      "player"
            "admin"        "sm_kick"
            "1"
            {
                 "type"    "list"
                 "1"       "coop; l4d_maxplayers 4"
                 "1."      "Campaign mode"
                 "2"       "versus"
                 "2."      "Versus mode"
                 "3"       "mutation12"
                 "3."      "Realism-versus"
            }
        }

Hope that helps.

Ha-ha, I already tried exact the same! Guess what? Didn't work out too!
Also,

Code:

"1"       "coop; l4d_maxplayers 4"

look how it get resulted:

Ah, I think I found it. Try @1 instead of #1

Lebson506th

"1" "\"coop\"; l4d_maxplayers 4"

Gamemode is a string, so it takes everything you put in quotes. Try that instead.

Had already tried.

*Snaps fingers* Mix the two. Using @1 takes out the surrounding quotation marks, but should still use them when you escape them with a backslash.

Can you write down what you implied?

Joe4evr

Basically, what he said:

Code:

"1" "\"coop\"; l4d_maxplayers 4"

Using \" is called escaping in programming jargon. This means that where it would normally be seen as a control character, it's now part of a regular string and won't affect the string as a whole.

Now, if you use @1, the command will be seen as

Code:

mp_gamemode "coop"; l4d_maxplayers 4

which should work in stead of

Code:

mp_gamemode ""coop"; l4d_maxplayers 4"

which translates to the mp_gamemode "" that you got earlier.
