Trying to script a three-level zoom

Im trying to script a zoom feature to my MOUSE 3, which clicks through three levels of zoom.

Standard/Zoom 1: fov 120; hudgun 1; crosshairsize 25; sensitivity 3

Zoom 2: hudgun 0; fov 60; crosshairsize 20; sensitivity 2;

Zoom 3: hudgun 0; fov 10; crosshairsize 20; sensitivity 1;

I also want to add a sound each time the button is clicked...

Sorry Im such a noob at this, but hey, the more I learn the better my stuff will get, and maybe Ill start taking scripting up as a hobby ;)

czoomlevel = 0
standard_zoom = [fov 120; hudgun 1; crosshairsize 25; sensitivity 3]
standard_zoom
delta_game_99 = [

czoomlevel = (+ $czoomlevel $arg1)
if (= $czoomlevel -1) [czoomlevel = 0]
if (= $czoomlevel 3) [czoomlevel = 2]
if (= $czoomlevel 0) [
// standard
standard_zoom
] [
if (= $czoomlevel 1) [
// level 1
fov 60; hudgun 0; crosshairsize 20; sensitivity 2;
] [
// level 2
fov 10; hudgun 0; crosshairsize 20; sensitivity 1;
]
]
]
bind LALT [ domodifier 99 ]
// HTH :)

MeatROme: You should *totally* Quadropolate that.

actually ... change the first two ifs to the following for more stability:
if (< $czoomlevel 0) [czoomlevel = 0]
if (> $czoomlevel 2) [czoomlevel = 2]

Great script.. very close to what I wanted.. however, I was looking for more of a zoom you can click through and it'll take you to the next level, then back to the beginning, if you know what I'm saying.

Thanks, dude, and like sorry for upvoting myself at Quadropolis LOL

well then just change the ifs to the following:
if (< $czoomlevel 0) [czoomlevel = 2]
if (> $czoomlevel 2) [czoomlevel = 0]

CubeScript is so wonderful :)
Let's all give Aardappel a big hand for it!

Sweet, great improvement, definently.

Any way I can bind this to zoom every time I click middle mouse rather than having to scroll? The scrolling's a bit annoying.

Something similar to this script:

bind MOUSE2
[hudgun 0; fov 60; crosshairsize 15; sensitivity 2;

onrelease [fov 120; hudgun 1; crosshairsize 20; sensitivity 3]]

But without the onrelease, so it's like "Click, zoom, click, zoom, click, normalzoom."

Again, thanks.

Actually nevermind, I figured it out on my own, turned out to be really simple :D

bind MOUSE3 [ zoom0 ]
zoom0 = [ fov 120; hudgun 1; crosshairsize 25; sensitivity 3; bind MOUSE3 [ zoom1 ] ]
zoom1 = [ fov 60; hudgun 0; crosshairsize 20; sensitivity 2; bind MOUSE3 [ zoom2 ] ]
zoom2 = [ fov 10; hudgun 0; crosshairsize 20; sensitivity 1; bind MOUSE3 [ zoom0 ] ]

Thanks for the help; I'll post this to Quadropolis and give you a bit of credit for the help ;)

See, CubeScript is great :)
Nice to see you've got into it a bit already!
The rebinding is not exactly the way I'd have gone ...
... actually I'd have only renamed delta_game_99 to do_my_zooming, changed the czoomlevel recalculation to +1 everytime (replace that for the $arg1) and then bound any key you like to do_my_zooming. ... but yeah, you can go this way ... in coding/scripting there are always several ways to skin your cat!

Happy Scripting!

I prefer this:

bind mouse3 [zoomit]

alias zoomit [if (= fov 120) [fov 60; sensitivity 2] [if (= fov 60) [fov 10; sensitivity 10] [fov 120; sensitivity 3] ]

Really, it makes little difference.

Clicking through zoom-levels? Boy, my zoom only works while I hold down mouse2. And nevertheless, sometimes just letting go of mouse2 is too slow to avoid damage.

I love the speed of sauerbraten. =D

Really though, it's more for large maps like Urban-C, SkyCastle, and Thor that I use this script on. It works okay in Face-Capture as well...

I wish the rifle had more range though.

The rifle´s range is infinite.

Isn't everything's? (Well, edge of map aside...)

Try shooting someone in the back spawn of Face Classic from the top of the opposite tower... it won't hit. The rifle doesn't have infinite range.

All the ranges are limited. I've tested it and had rockets explode just far enough from my face to keep from taking damage.

It's pretty silly sometimes; rockets explode in mid-air, rifle round hit invisible walls, etc. Makes for some very difficult long-range battles. Awfully hard to kill each other that way.

Demosthenes: That´s a driver issue you got there.

But yes, I tried, the rifle´s range is limited it seems. Never would have thought.

This is easily noticeable when trying to snipe people on face-capture. :)

I don´t play capture, or oversized maps like village or wcdc for that matter.
