{{back | Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Level Creation}}
 
Here are tables of the game modes and the console commands to launch them in {{csgo}} [[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive]].
 
To launch a map with a desired game mode, adjust the values of <code>'''game_type'''</code>, <code>'''game_mode'''</code> and <code>'''sv_skirmish_id'''</code> according to the tables below. '''''After that''''', load a map by using the <code>[[Map (ConCommand)|map]] <mapname></code> or {{ent|changelevel|<mapname>}} console command.
 
When a map is loaded with the <code>[[Map (ConCommand)|map]]</code> or {{ent|changelevel}} command, the game will...
# set the [[CSGO_Custom_Game_Mode#Whitelisting|whitelisted ConVars]] (the ones listed in <code>csgo/bspconvar_whitelist.txt</code>) to their default value,
# execute the [[cfg|.cfg]] files associated with the current values of <code>game_type</code> and <code>game_mode</code>,
# execute the .cfg file associated with the current value of <code>sv_skirmish_id</code>.
 
If these values are not set before loading a map, the map launches in the last game mode played.
The initial values of <code>game_type</code>, <code>game_mode</code> and <code>sv_skirmish_id</code> are 0 (Casual).
 
{{Tip | The <code>map</code> and <code>changelevel</code> commands have an optional <code><gamemode></code> parameter. Example: <code>map de_dust2 deathmatch</code> or <code>changelevel myCustomMap coop</code>. If such a <code>gamemode</code> parameter is given and if it is valid, the game will adjust <code>game_type</code> and <code>game_mode</code> and launch the map with the associated game mode.}}
 
{{Tip | [[Command Line Options|Set Launch Options]] can be used, e.g: <code>+game_type <number> +game_mode <number> +map <mapname></code>}}
 
{{Tip | You can define [[alias]]es to make frequent testing easier, for example <code>alias MyMapRetake "game_type 0; game_mode 0; sv_skirmish_id 12; map MyMap"</code>. Best used in [[autoexec]]s which allows to quickly launch and test custom maps in the right game mode.}}
 
{{Note | If you want to run a map in a Classic game mode with [[bot]]s, make sure {{ent|bot_quota_mode}} is not set to <code>competitive</code>, as this causes them to stop.
{{Idea | You can create and use <code>gamemode_competitive_server.cfg</code> (see below) wisely to automatically have bots on your local server whenever you load a map in Competitive.}}
}}
 
== Game Type and Game Mode ==
 
{{Note | Unless you want to load a Skirmish Mode, make sure <code>sv_skirmish_id</code> is (e.g.) 0.}}
{{Confusion | The [[Setting up 1v1 Warmup Arenas|1v1 warmup arenas]] seen in some Competitive and Wingman maps do '''not''' use an own game mode. If arenas are implemented in a map, warmup arenas can be played by launching the map in Competitive or Wingman and invoking <code>mp_warmup_start</code>.}}

{{Note | The .cfg files ending with <code>_offline.cfg</code> are only executed if the server was launched via ''Practice with Bots'' from the main menu. Valve uses them to enable [[bot]]s in offline competitive since bots have been disabled in competitive by default, see {{ent|bot_quota}}.}}
{{Tip | The .cfg files ending with <code>_server.cfg</code> don't exist locally by default. You can create them and write commands into them that will be executed every time you locally launch the corresponding game mode.}}
{{Note | With no adjustments, [[maxplayers]] is a hard limit for the number of [[player]]s and bots on the server.}}

| No .cfg file is executed, only the [[CSGO_Custom_Game_Mode#Whitelisting|whitelisted ConVars]] are set to their default value. By default this results in game rules like Casual but with no round limit, instead with a time limit of 5 minutes for the game and map. <code>mp_roundtime</code> is also set to 5 minutes.
|}
 
 
 
== Skirmish Modes ==
 
If <code>sv_skirmish_id</code> is set to a value that can be found in the following table, it will load an additional [[cfg|.cfg]] file associated to the ID. These .cfg files are supposed to be loaded to a specific base game mode, which is mentioned as a comment in their first lines as well as in <code>csgo/scripts/items/items_game.txt</code>. Anyway, it is possible to use any base game mode.
 
To play one of the following game modes, type <code>sv_skirmish_id <number></code> in the console and launch a map with a base game mode, see above. <br>
Alternatively, it is possible in-game to execute the corresponding .cfg files manually and restarting the game using <code>exec <cfg filename></code> and <code>mp_restartgame 1</code>. Incidentally, one could of course write/modify such [[cfg|configs]] himself.<br>
To return to a "pure" game mode found in the above table, set <code>sv_skirmish_id</code> to a value that is not in the following table (intuitively 0), so the game will not load any additional .cfg files to a game mode.
 
Example:
* To launch ''Stab Stab Zap'' on <code>de_dust2</code>, enter <code>sv_skirmish_id 1</code> and <code>map de_dust2 casual</code>. This is equivalent to the commands <code>sv_skirmish_id 1</code>, <code>game_type 0</code>, <code>game_mode 0</code> and <code>map de_dust2</code>. <br>
* To launch Competitive on <code>de_dust2</code> after having played a skirmish mode, enter <code>sv_skirmish_id 0</code> and <code>map de_dust2 competitive</code>. This is equivalent to the commands <code>sv_skirmish_id 0</code>, <code>game_type 0</code>, <code>game_mode 1</code> and <code>map de_dust2</code>.
 
{{note | The skirmish IDs 2, 5 and 9 are undefined. However, there are .cfg files in <code>cfg/</code> that have no associated skirmish ID. They are mentioned at the end of the following table. They probably were the modes for the skirmish IDs 2, 5 and 9.}}
 
{{note | The information of this table can be found in <code>csgo/scripts/items/items_game.txt</code>.}}

== Game Mode dependent Events ==
 
There are the {{csgo}} specific [[List of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Script Functions#Other|VScript functions]] <code>ScriptGetGameType()</code> and <code>ScriptGetGameMode()</code> which return the current integer value of <code>game_type</code> and <code>game_mode</code>.
{{Note | This is independent of the current value of <code>sv_skirmish_id</code>.}}
These allow VScript structures such as the following.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=cpp>
local nMode = ScriptGetGameMode();
local nType = ScriptGetGameType();
 
if (nType == 0 && nMode == 2)
{
  // code executed only in Wingman
}
else
{
  // code executed only in any other game mode
}
</syntaxhighlight>
 
{{Idea | When making a map, you can create a VScript exclusively for that map and use this concept to make game mode dependent changes to: the map, player spawns, gamerules and much more. For example, it is possible to make closed areas on a map, that are opened up only in some game modes, such as Deathmatch and Armsrace.}}
