List of CS:GO Script Functions

This list contains the engine-related Squirrel classes, functions and variables available for VScript in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . Some of it can be printed in the console by setting developer to at least 1, loading a map and executing script_help. Note that developer only needs to be non-zero during map-loading, so to dump script_help to a file do something like this:

developer 3
map de_nuke
developer 0
con_logfile dump.txt
script_help
con_logfile ""

Classes

CBaseEntity

This is a script handle class for entities. All entities spawned have a script handle using this or one of its subclasses.

All script handles in-game are accessible from Entities. Entity Scripts can use self to access their own script handle.

Hooks

If one of these functions are declared in an Entity Script, the entity will run this function automatically in the appropriate situation.

Function	Signature	Description
`InputInputName`	`bool InputInputName()`	Called when the entity receives an input from the I/O system. The name of the function needs to be `Input` followed by the name of the input in CamelCase, for example `InputFireUser1` for the FireUser1 input. When the function is called, the activating and calling entities Script Handles are written to the receiving entitys Script Scope in the `activator` and `caller` variables. The function needs to return a boolean value. Setting it to `true` allows the entity to process the input, while `false` cancels it.
`OnPostSpawn`	`void OnPostSpawn()`	Called immediately after the entity spawns. This could be used to have an entity register itself with a master script, or adjusting the entity parameters in a programmatic way.
`Precache`	`void Precache()`	Called after the script executes. Can be used to call precache functions for models and sounds on map load.
