Team Fortress 2 Update Released

[Mothership]

An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:

• Implemented VScript

  • VScript allows mappers to embed script code (Squirrel3) into maps. This system is already being used for L4D2 and CS:GO maps.

    • Interface with entities and the world like regular Hammer logic

    • Simplify things that were previously incredibly complicated/tedious in Hammer logic

    • Interact with and control bots, bosses, player attributes, entities, and game state closely, allowing for enhanced, modified or entirely custom game modes

    • React to game events and change the outcome of certain things, such as damage calculations

  • More technical info about VScript for Team Fortress 2 is available on the Valve Developer Community

    • https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/List_of_TF2_Script_Functions

• Added the ability to change the skybox dynamically using the skybox_changer entity or SetSkyboxTexture

• Added support for custom MvM upgrade files packed into the map

• Added point_worldtext, an entity that can show text dynamically, with support for multiple SDF (signed distance field) fonts, multiple colors and a rainbow mode

• Exposed several movement related ConVars

• Implemented support for func_monitor and cameras

• Implemented logic_eventlistener for listening to game events from Hammer logic

• Added the ability to pass parameters and delay to MvM populator actions

• Improved compile time with VRAD

• Special thanks to Jakub and everyone on the GitHub VScript Mega Issue for testing, providing feedback, and submitting requests
