This is the documentation of a way to use the VScripts

• csgo/scripts/vscripts/warmup/warmup_arena.nut
• csgo/scripts/vscripts/warmup/warmup_teleport.nut

that are designed for the management of 1v1 warmup arenas in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive .

The information of this page has been collected heuristically. Valve might have used a (slightly) different implementation.

Gameplay Description

Officially, the 1v1 warmup plays as follows:

• It is only active during warmup of the game modes Competitive and Wingman, i.e. if game_type is 0 and game_mode is 1 or 2.
• During warmup, respawning players are teleported to a separate room ("1v1 arena") with one enemy player (if there is one), emitting the player spawn sound used in Deathmatch.
• Both players are get 100 HP, kevlar (no helmet), their knife and a randomly chosen weapon from a hard-coded list inside warmup_arena.nut.
• If there is only one player in an arena, he will be reset in this arena if a respawning enemy player is teleported there.
• Dropped weapons are cleared in an arena if two players spawn.
• In Competitive, 5 arenas are used. In Wingman, only 2 arenas are regarded.

Map Requirements

This section covers the requirements to a map to additionally support 1v1 warmup arenas.

Overview

This is how the following implementation will work:

• During warmup, the players actually spawn at their default spawns on the regular part of the map, but all of the spawn points are inside a big trigger_multiple that teleports them into an arena with a free slot.
• The VScript warmup/warmup_teleport.nut handles the assignment of players to the arenas.
• Each of the 5 arenas has a logic_script with the VScript warmup/warmup_arena.nut keeping track of its current players.
• In each arena there are two trigger_multiples inside each other with different team filters filling the entire arena. These are always testing if a (Counter-)Terrorist is in the arena and locks or unlocks the arena for other players.

game_player_equip	anywhere	@warmup.weapon_equip_empty	Property Name Value Spawnflags 3 (Flags Use only and Strip All Weapons First)		This is used to clear the weapons of (re-)spawning players before they are equipped by an arena script.

Required Entities - Arenas

To avoid VScript errors and/or lonely players, there should be at least 5 arenas, which is also the maximum of arenas that the scripts support.

Placement Tip: An arena should be completely separated from the rest of the map, although it needn't.

Placement Tip: Create cover so that there is no direct line of sight between the two players' spawn points.

Note: The arena script cleans up weapons lying around within a radius of 640 units from it. Don't make the playable area too big.

For the player spawning logic, you need the following entities for each arena. The entity names must be exact as the scripts rely on them.

If you are done creating one arena and you want to copy-paste it, you have to make renaming changes to these entities, which is the adjustment of the yellow highlighted 1's. Replace them by 2, 3, 4 and 5 accordingly.

Class	Where?	Name	KeyValues	Outputs	Comment
info_target	place as CT spawn point, including orientation	arena1-ctspawn			The scripts will only call GetOrigin() and GetAngles() from these entities to teleport players to them, so one could use any entity for this if it has a name, an origin and an orientation, e.g. Player spawn entities, but these must be disabled by default, because players should never actually spawn there, especially if it's not warmup. VScript does not take the enabled state into account. Still, do not use info_deathmatch_spawns as it happens that the game uses these even if they are disabled.
info_target	place as T spawn point, including orientation	arena1-tspawn
logic_script	in the middle of the arena on the ground	arena1-script	Property Name Value Entity Scripts warmup/warmup_arena.nut Think Function ArenaStart EntityGroup[0] arena1-trigger_ct EntityGroup[1] arena1-trigger_t		This entity should be placed in the center of the arena on the ground due to the weapon clearing radius of 640 units around it. Tip: Visualize the radius e.g. by temporary creating an entity with a radius such as ambient_generic. The Think function fires the input TouchTest to the following two triggers every 0.1 seconds.
trigger_multiple	fills the entire playable area of the arena	arena1-trigger_ct	Property Name Value Filter Name @warmup.filter_ct	My Output > Target Entity Target Input Parameter Delay Only Once OnNotTouching arena1-script RunScriptCode EnableCTSpawn() 0.00 No OnTrigger arena1-script RunScriptCode DisableCTSpawn() 0.00 No	Tip: As these are two brushes with identical dimensions, use H and U in Hammer to hide and unhide one of them, to make selecting the other easier. The functions DisableCTSpawn() and DisableTSpawn() save the activator assuming it is a player, so the trigger's output must be OnTrigger, because OnTouching uses the trigger as activator, causing VScript errors.
trigger_multiple	fills the entire playable area of the arena	arena1-trigger_t	Property Name Value Filter Name @warmup.filter_t	My Output > Target Entity Target Input Parameter Delay Only Once OnNotTouching arena1-script RunScriptCode EnableTSpawn() 0.00 No OnTrigger arena1-script RunScriptCode DisableTSpawn() 0.00 No

To see if everything works correctly, you can open in the console and

• look for VScript errors.
• invoke sv_cheats 1 and ent_messages_draw 1 to visualize I/O.
• invoke sv_cheats 1 and ent_fire logic_script runscriptcode "DebugInfo()" to see the states of each arena.
  • The Available T/CT spawn should be true if there is a T/CT in the arena (no matter why).
  • The Current T/CT player should either be null if the corresponding spawn is available or a player if not.

Manipulating Gameplay

You cannot or should not manipulate the orignal scripts

• csgo/scripts/vscripts/warmup/warmup_arena.nut
• csgo/scripts/vscripts/warmup/warmup_teleport.nut,

but you can still change gameplay per map by either firing RunScriptCode to the arena scripts or by writing an own script to change variables or even functions in the arena scripts.

For example, you could create a logic_script in your map and set its Entity Scripts to a .nut file with this content to change the weapons.

ARENA1_SCRIPT <- Entities.FindByName(null, "arena1-script"); ARENA2_SCRIPT <- Entities.FindByName(null, "arena2-script"); ARENA3_SCRIPT <- Entities.FindByName(null, "arena3-script"); ARENA4_SCRIPT <- Entities.FindByName(null, "arena4-script"); ARENA5_SCRIPT <- Entities.FindByName(null, "arena5-script"); NEW_WEAPON <- ["weapon_ssg08", "weapon_p250", "weapon_mp5sd", "weapon_nova", "weapon_negev"] function OnPostSpawn() { ARENA1_SCRIPT.GetScriptScope().WEAPON = NEW_WEAPON ARENA2_SCRIPT.GetScriptScope().WEAPON = NEW_WEAPON ARENA3_SCRIPT.GetScriptScope().WEAPON = NEW_WEAPON ARENA4_SCRIPT.GetScriptScope().WEAPON = NEW_WEAPON ARENA5_SCRIPT.GetScriptScope().WEAPON = NEW_WEAPON }
