Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools/Scripting

Counter-Strike 2 features the cs_script scripting system, using  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?
