Ever get tired of pushing a payload or standing on a control point to capture the next point, when you really want to have a look at somewhere else in your map?
There is a way to trick the game into thinking that you are within the capture area without actually being there. All it takes is a few lines in a config file in your tf/cfg folder. (I just put the commands into the autoexec.cfg file, as the game automatically executes this on startup)
First we need cheats to be on, which personally I have bound to the minus key on the keypad. I've done this with this line in my cfg file:
You can also do this with noclip, the HUD and viewmodels, which I have bound to the zero, decimal and plus keys respectively.
Now we get onto the more complex commands, the one which toggles the timer on and off, and the one which tricks the game into thinking that you are within the capture zone. I have bound these to the 7 and 9 keys on the keypad respectively.
Note that you may need to hit the key twice to pause the timer or start capturing a point, as when you press the key once, you switch the key from pausing the timer or starting a capture to being a key that starts the timer or stops the capture. Also note that sv_cheats needs to be 1 in order for these to work.
The last few things that I have bound on my keypad are "impulse 101", which has the same effect as touching a resupply locker (although it doesn't update your loadout), "mp_disable_respawn_times 1", which disables respawn times on the map, and "mp_waitingforplayers_cancel 1", which cancels the "waiting for players" time period when first loading a map. I have these bound to 1, 2 and 3 on the keypad.
Hopefully this helps to make your quick run around tests a little easier. You also get to have fun watching a cart travel past you with no one around it...
