there's a bug in the game that allows people with scripting knowledge to make scripts that loop an action over and over. for example: the main use of a _special script would be to bunny hop more effectively. it loops the +jump command over and over so that you can just hold down the space bar or any other key and it will jump for you. it takes out the timing
another use is for flag tossing. hold down a key, and as soon as you touch, it will toss the flag, or det pipes or anything of that nature. it was also used for chop hopping which has been banned in leagues as far as i know.

you forgot to add it runs the loop in teh background of TFC, so "wait" commands do not effect you at all.

*which is why its is considered an exploit by everyone that doesn't use it*

i had a _special flag throw script, and when they banned the _special command i just took out the _special statements and it still works fine (as far as i can tell)... Is this legal?

actually that sounds like reverse logic... people don't use it because they think it's an exploit, not the other way around :x

yes but with this script setup to det pipes, you can fire a pipe while holding down a det button, to make a semi-RL for demo =0
