Tranq tips.

If you know there are no other enemy coming through, your tranq is your best freind. To get the best results use cl_interp 0.01 With the default cl_interp 0.1 there is a slight delay from when you fire.

That delay is purely visual, by the way.

anything with a cl_ in front of it means client, and that means only shows up on your screen.

Quick Tranq to Knife Switcher. Keep your mouse2 held down to keep your tran out. Soom as you let go off mouse 2 you instantly switch to your knife.

Quote:
unbind mouse2
alias +stick "slot2"
alias -stick "slot1"
bind mouse2 +stick
This can also work with a number of other weapon combinations as well.

Can't believe people need a script just to do that... kind of makes me sad, not to mention it's not even practical.

Tranq is mainly used to slow people down, you maybe want to knife them after but that's basically all there is to it. Use it as you see fit.

You know to be honest I don't find the tranq that usefull for any offensive gain.

Where I have found it to come in handy is for vanishing when an enemy is nearby.

I haven't had time to make one yet, but I think a good idea for a script would involve:

-Switch to Tranq
-Shoot
-Cloak

That way when an enemy is in your face you tranq him, then cloak immediately. With his field of vision completely messed up, there's no way he'll be able to track your cloak.

You probably don't need a script for this, if you're fast enough with your buttons. But hey we all seek to automate as much as we can

Cheers,
Hammock

Can we get some confirmation that you have hit your target with a tranq? Like the green hiv cloud of dots that the med gets when he poisons someone.

I have a hard time knowing if I have tranqued my target.

If they walk like old men, they are tranq'd.

Interp in source have the same effect as hl1/cs? If so, it doesn't help a great deal/at all imo.

They aren't always walking is part of the problem. I third this request, some kind of visual cue for tranqing would be good, at the very least so I can practice my long distance tranq sniping (:
