In Counter-Strike 2, unlike the previous {{Source 2|2}} titles {{hla|4}}, {{dota2|4}}, and {{VRHome|4}} which all used [[VScript]] to provide the ability to use Lua scripts natively when building custom levels using the Hammer editor. In {{cs2|4}} two new scripting systems called [[VScript2]] which uses Typescript and [[Pulse]] a visual scripting solution. Vscript2 scripts can be ran by providing a .vts file to a {{cs2}}[[point_script]], and [[Pulse]] can be ran by providing a .vpulse file to a {{cs2}}[[point_pulse]]. Both solutions can be used for a variety of things including creating new game modes, weapons and other types of complicated logic.

Counter-Strike 2 features the cs_script scripting system, using Wikipedia icon JavaScript. This is in contrast to previous Source 2 titles like Half-Life: Alyx, Dota 2, and SteamVR Home, which all used Lua-based VScript. In addition to cs_script, there is another scripting system called Pulse, which is a visual scripting solution. However, Pulse is currently unavailable to end users. cs_script can be used for a variety of things including creating new game modes, modifying existing weapon logic, among other stuff.

Valve has provided a map called script_zoo, which showcases various ways to use cs_script to create unique gameplay, model changes and even chess in Counter-Strike! The .vmap file can be found in content/csgo/maps/editor/zoo. It can also be accessed in-game, by typing "map editor/zoo/script_zoo" into the game console.

Todo: Figure out more about pulse.
Todo: Info about JavaScript.
Confirm:Does TypeScript (.vts) still work using point_script?
