| How do you get the echo command to echo to the screen and not just the console? The developer command does not work for steam. |

I use "developer 1; echo option 1; echo option 2; developer 0; bind 1 option 1; bind 2 option 2" but it only works on non-steam TFC. I have been told by 6 + people that developer is disabled on steam, and I believe them cuz it doesn't seem to work on steam. Is there another way?
This is for a chat menu script with three catagories and three chats per catagory. This saves me from having to find/memorize 9 unused keys to bind to. The chat menu script works as far as selecting a chat string, but I have to remeber the options cuz I can't get it to echo to the screen, it onle echos to the console.
Here is the menu. As I said it works, but echos to the screen only in non-steam TFC. On steam it echos only to the console. You will see "developer" and "echo" used in the "menu aliases" section
| Code: |
//chat menu
//say aliases
alias greet1 "say Hello All!;rebind"
alias greet2 "say Hello %i;rebind"
alias greet3 "say I am behind you %i;rebind"
alias taunt1 "say Your going down %i;rebind"
alias taunt2 "say Good Fight %i, I have %a Armor and %h Health left;rebind"
alias taunt3 "say That must have hurt %i, but I have %a Armor and %h Health left;rebind"
alias help1 "say_team I need a Medic, I'm down to %h Health;rebind"
alias help2 "say_team I need an Engineer, I'm down to %a Armor;rebind"
alias help3 "say_team I need backup;rebind"
//menu aliases
alias menu1 "developer 1;echo 1) Greetings; echo 2) Taunts; echo 3) Team Help; echo 4) cancel;developer 0; bind 1 menu2; bind 2 menu3;bind 3 menu4; bind 4 rebind"
alias menu2 "developer 1;echo 1) Hello All; echo 2) Hello Person; echo 3) Behind You; echo 4) cancel;developer 0; bind 1 greet1; bind 2 greet2;bind 3 greet3; bind 4 rebind"
alias menu3 "developer 1;echo 1) Going Down; echo 2) Good Fight; echo 3) Must have Hurt; echo 4) cancel;developer 0; bind 1 taunt1; bind 2 taunt2;bind 3 taunt3; bind 4 rebind"
alias menu4 "developer 1;echo 1) Need Medic; echo 2) Need Engineer; echo 3) Need Backup; echo 4) cancel;developer 0; bind 1 help1; bind 2 help2;bind 3 help3; bind 4 rebind"
//must rebind
alias rebind "bind 1 slot1;bind 2 slot2;bind 3 slot3;bind 4 slot4;bind 5 slot5;bind 6 slot6;bind 7 slot7;bind 8 slot8;bind 9 slot9"
//bind a key to script
bind h "menu1" |
Example run:
When I press "h" it outputs(to the console only on steam):
| Code: |
1) Greetings
2) Taunts
3) Team Help |
I press "1" it outputs:
| Code: |
1) Hello All
2) Hello Person
3) Behind you |
I press "3" in outputs:
| Code: |
| say I am Behind you %i |
So I memorize "h13" for
| Code: |
| say I am Behind you %i |
and "h21" for
| Code: |
| say Good Fight %i, I have %a Armor and %h Health left |
Etc. It would only work better if I could echo the menu "pages" to the screen. Other than that it works as expected.
Note: I learned scripted menuing from one that was not organized or clearly written, and it had no //remarks. This one is a clear, organized version of that template, with //remarks. I hope you can use this template in you own scripting. |
