Where do I find all possible setup_goal parameters?

What the title says. I want to modify what setup goal my map displays, except I have no clue where I could fidn them listed.

 

look in your control point master, then the hud display and play around with it

 

You can find these goal strings in the tf/resource/tf_english.txt:

And you'd set these as:
tf_gamerules - SetRedTeamGoalString - #stringnamewithoutanyqoutes
Like:
tf_gamerules - SetRedTeamGoalString - #2fort_red_ setup_goal

You can also just not use a current setup goal and just make up your own text if you want instead.

 

Welp that's awesome, thanks a lot! How would I go about making my own text, though?

 

It's a localizable string. So just use whatever you want as long as it doesn't start with a hash.

 

Also worth noting you can use any localized text in any field, the game doesn't see them as different "types", though not many of them have multiple uses, but I've found a couple in the past.

 

You mean, I could just write plain text in there, sans hash, and that text would show up in the objective box? Obviously with the downside that it would not have translations included in the game files like default ones.

 

Correct. The same goes for virtually any entity that will print text to the screen. It either shows what you typed, or if you start it with the hash it looks it up in the localizations.

 

I made my own. Just put them as an output for a logic auto

 

and another note I feel like pointing out the "target entity" can actually be just an entity class name, and the output will go to ALL entities of that class. Which means in the case of tf_gamerules, where only one exists, you can actually just target the class without worrying about the name. (all the old maps did that, because at the time it had less features and wasn't even an entity you placed in Hammer, it was just autogenerated by the engine)

 

Huh, this brought to mind a question, can multiple entities have the same name? Say, for purposes of making triggering multiple of them at once easier.

 

Yep. Hammer will also show any name that another entity shares in bold.

 

Well, that makes creating setup doors quite easier then

 

It depends, do you want the ability to control them individually?

Consider a wildcard instead.

 

For now, I try to not bite off more than I can chew when it comes to entitywork, so good ol' baseline opening-at-once setup doors it is for me.


Funny how my knowledge of things like visleaf optimization is fairly indepth and I'm flailing about with entities like a complete newbie.
