Quick Question on Custom Configs

[HIS-MOTHER]

I made a custom config and template, no issues there. Now in my configs I made a combo box for gametype, TDM, FFA, PCF, etc..

 

I now want to add combo box for the maps but some maps only run in certain gametypes. I do not want to have say a client select TDM and select a DM map.

 

Is this where the parent Variable is used?

 

How do I tell it that when TDM gametype is selected to only offer maps I assign as TDM maps?

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, this would be an instance where the parent variable would be used.

 

Take a look at the setup for Ventrilo in the game configs. The cofig editor for the ventrilo_srv.ini has an example of this in the voice codecs variables.

Alright, I think I understand it now.

 

So I have a variable of %gametype%

 

With the values TDM, DM, CTF etc. Display names and values are the same in my config.

 

Then I add a new one and set Misson one Variable> %map1%

 

Parent Variable %gametype%

 

Parent Value TDM

 

Then if I am deciphering this correctly when they select TDM for a gametype it will only offer that map or maps if I set multiples for that value?

 

Here I go

Correct. The secondary variable is dependant on the first ones response by the user. So if you select option 1, then the secondary variable list will display options associated with that choice.
