Dummy/uk

У кожного гравця є доступ до Даммі, яким він може керувати і перемикатися між ним і основним тії. Забіндити клавішу на перемикання дамми знаходиться в меню «Управління» або, як варіант, можна використовувати F1: bind x toggle cl_dummy 0 1. Даммі також може копіювати ваші дії, літати з вами і, використовуючи більш просунуті функції, може стрибати, хукати та стріляти .

Карти, призначені для даммі, називаються даммі-картами, в яких даммі знаходиться в глибокій заморозці (deep freeze). Даммі також корисний для самостійного проходження карт, але деякі карти можуть бути дуже складними або непрохідними з даммі через неможливість повністю контролювати обох тії.

Основні Техніки

Хамерфлай за допомогою даммі

Є два основні способи польоту з даммі. Перший спосіб змушує даммі бити у вашому напрямку зі швидкістю, що відповідає таймінгами хаммерфлаю — це повністю автоматичний і має перевагу, що полягає в тому, що ви можете повністю зосередитися на управлінні польотом, але має недолік, що полягає в тому, що ви не можете контролювати, коли саме дамми вдарить (не використовуючи багаторазового включення та вимкнення). Цей параметр можна забіндити до кнопки в меню «Елементи керування» або, як альтернатива, прив'язати до клавіші за допомогою консолі F1: bind x toggle cl_dummy_hammer 0 1.

Другий спосіб змушує даммі бити у вашому напрямку при кожному натисканні клавіші. Перевага цього полягає в можливості контролювати коли точно вдарить даммі, що найчастіше краще першого способу, але вимагає додаткової практики. Існує два способи прив'язати удар до клавіші: bind x +toggle cl_dummy_hammer 1 0 що просто змушує даммі бити по натисканню клавіші.

Другий спосіб – поставити удар на кнопку Mouse 1 (ЛКМ) використовуючи CFG файли. Гайд для прив'язки в цей спосіб знаходиться тут.

Hammerhitting with dummy

Hammerhitting with dummy is as simple as switching tees back and forth as you hammer hit, but has a couple quirks. If you are holding a key down when switching, that tee will continue holding it down until you press the button again with that tee active. This can be dangerous, as attempting to hammer or hook will do nothing the first time and will easily cause you to fail the hammer hit.

The cause for this behavior is an option called cl_dummy_resetonswitch. Setting this to 1 will prevent this problem from happening, but keep in mind if you are hooking to a ceiling or wall and then switch to your dummy, the tee you switched from will reset, potentially causing a fail. For this reason it's important to have cl_dummy_resetonswitch bound to a key press if you wish to use it.

Advanced Techniques

The following section will cover advanced tech that is possible with dummy. Some of the tech is usually only useful for doing dummy unfriendly parts by yourself rather than another player, but some are also viable in more circumstances.

Auto-revert

If the dummy is holding any key down such as movement, hook, etc, and you use dummy copy to have the dummy hold down another key, switching to the dummy will cause it to go back to holding the keys it was before you used dummy copy.

This is useful for parts where you need to quickly change directions when switching to the dummy, as this can make it automatic.

Quick dummy hammer hit

This is a quicker and easier (for dummy) version of a normal hammerhit. Stand right next to your dummy on the left or right, hammer it, walk through, and then jump and have the dummy hammer you.

Dummy control

When setting cl_dummy_control to 1 and enabling dummy copy at the same time, the dummy will only copy movement and aim, and not jump, fire, or hook. It also enables the use of 3 commands, cl_dummy_jump, cl_dummy_fire, and cl_dummy_hook. Keep in mind that turning this setting on will make dummy hammer performance worse, as occasionally the dummy will miss the hammer compared to it turned off.

Dummy copy mismatch

If you hold down key to fire, and enable dummy copy at the same time, the dummy will only copy your firing command when you release the key, not when you press it down. This allows some control over when the dummy will actually copy your action.

Triple fly

While it may seem impossible at first, triple fly is indeed possible with dummy. There are a few ways to achieve it, but all of the methods use cl_dummy_copy_moves set to 1.

Method 1

This method makes use of cl_dummy_control. To start, you need a comfortable key that you can press while flying normally without problems. Bind this key as such:

bind x "cl_dummy_control 1; cl_dummy_copy_moves 1; +toggle cl_dummy_hook 1 0"

While flying, pressing this key will make the dummy hook where you are looking. Even though dummy copy is activated, the dummy will not jump, hook, or fire when you do - it will only do those on command. In this case, it's the hook. Keep in mind, cl_dummy_hammer deactivates everything for as long as it is toggled on, so to work around it, you need to dummy hammer, then use this command, then dummy hammer, etc. With enough practice, pseudofly triple fly is also possible using this command.

It is recommended to have a key to deactivate both cl_dummy_control and cl_dummy_copy_moves for when you are not using it - or alternatively bind this to a toggle. For more information on how to do this, see Binds.

Method 2

This method requires cl_dummy_copy_moves bound to an easily reachable key, as it will need to be toggled often. Because the dummy will also hook when you hook in this case, often the dummy will hook the tee for too long, ruining the triple fly. To counteract this, toggle cl_dummy_copy_moves on and off to control when the dummy hooks or not. The dummy will still only hook when you do, however.

Method 3

This method requires cl_dummy_copy_moves to be set to 1 as well as +toggle cl_dummy_hammer 1 0 to be bound to an easily reachable key. This method makes use of the fact that when holding down the cl_dummy_hammer key, the command to hammer you will override the dummy copy inputs. Therefore, you can hold down the cl_dummy_hammer key to fly and briefly release it to make the dummy rehook. The dummy will still only hook when you do, however.

Tips and tricks

• Binding the aforementioned cl_dummy_resetonswitch either to a toggle or two keys for both states is a good way to have more control over your dummy.

• Turning on cl_dummy_control allows the dummy to jump, hook, or fire at will. This can be useful for parts that are difficult for dummy on some maps, or for having the dummy jump when you hammerhit it without having to switch to the dummy. Use this command with caution, however, as it changes the behavior of the dummy drastically - it is recommended to keep the option off most of the time.

• It can be very helpful to have an emergency reset button readily at hand if you need it - sometimes, you may have tweaked some settings that affect your dummy in unintended ways, or the dummy is holding keys down that is hard to fix.

A simple bind like that would look like this:

bind x "dummy_reset; cl_dummy_resetonswitch 0; cl_dummy_control 0; cl_dummy_copy_moves 0"

You can then pack on any other commands to it as well.
