Basically I am just trying to figure out if you can do escape menus for TF2 with sourcemod, and if so how. Theres not much on the wiki about them, and I would prefer not to have to write a MMS plugin solely for that if I can avoid it.

Why would you want to???

It's simple though.

    SetMenuTitle(hMenu,"My Awesome menu");
    
    AddMenuItem(hMenu,"Option 1","Option #1");
    AddMenuItem(hMenu,"Option 2","Option #2");
    AddMenuItem(hMenu,"Option 3","Option #3");

}

public fn_MenuHandler(Handle:menu, MenuAction:action, param1, param2)

Hello!

Since I'm doing pretty much the same as the initial poster, namely working on menus, I now wonder if there is any way to allow players to select menu items either via a console command, keybind or similar.

Problem is, most situations ingame don't really give you enough time to press esc, locate the menu (for instance map votes and such), browse through several pages of choices (again map selection), finally locate and select your choice. By the time you did all this as a player, you most likely died several times xD

Please notice I'd prefer a non-plugin approach to selecting (esc-)menu choices, like a console command or keybind, since this technique can be used on many servers then, regardless if there is the appropriate plugin running or not.

Any hint into the right direction is highly appreciated!

Thanks


P.S: Sorry for bumping a somewhat older thread, I just thought this fits in here just as well, rather than creating a topic on it's own.

I don't understand your question. What is a "non-plugin approach?" Why would the menu be there to even select if the plugin behind it didn't exist?

Your question also seems totally different than the original poster. The short answer is: SourceMod does not abstract menu item selection in any sort of console manner.

You could request this but there'd have to be a good use case.
