I'm just gonna try to make it as brief as possible. I got inspired by this video ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urAtStdn3tc[/url]), so i made a script for it.
[u]Instructions:[/u]
Put this in your engineer.cfg (replace [KEY] with a button you want. i use b.)
[code]
alias +sentryjump "+jump; +duck; +attack2; slot3;"
alias -sentryjump "-jump; -duck; -attack2"
bind [KEY] +sentryjump
[/code]
This script assumes you are in range to pack up, have sentry ammo for the sentry, and is using the wrangler.
[u]How to use?:[/u]
Simply press b and the m2 button. The script automatically jump crouches for you too.
[u]Timings:[/u]
Most of the time it's just dependent on yourself to see which timing fits you best, but i'm most comfortable press [KEY] as soon as i press m2, or extremely slight delay, almost as soon as i press m2.
[u]How does this work?:[/u]
Of course, after seeing the video i wanted to figure how to use this.
What actually is happening:
1. You fire the rocket
2. You jump and switch to another weapon (i chose melee, but you can change it to slot1 if you want to. Slot 4 and 5 won't work.)
3. you pack up, just as this happens, the sentry rocket hits the floor and bounces you away.
4. you are mid-air with the sentry.
5. you land. Might take fall damage.
[u]This is useless!![/u]
Well i haven't been playing around with it a lot, but i noticed you can camp cp_gorge's blu spawn after they cap the first point.
It also helps since you don't have to get a tele ext and ent just to get your sentry up there, saving metal. you can build a dispenser, then get ammo from that to repair your sentry / lv. up your dispenser, or build a tele.
And when you built a dispenser, you still have 100 metal, so if there's any metal around you can upgrade or do whatever you want.
[u]Notes:[/u]
I'm not sure how to fix it, but it will turn your sentry around as if you pressed m2 once. just press m2 twice to turn it back.
[u]Change Log:[/u]
None ATM

Cant wait to test it out
oh yeah btw, video's going to be up soon.
Doesn't work very well. I lose total right-click functionality after I press the key.
Edit:
Never mind, I fixed it by removing "+attack2"
1. stand on top of sentry and look straight down
2. rapidly press these keys in succession while walking forward: right-click, bound key, right-click
Thanks for this

ah sorry, it was my bad. i forogt to put -attack2 after -duck;.
scrpiting is confusing. first time D:
oh really, that fixes it. forget my solution I don't know anything
Looks awesome
Not trying to be a douchebag, but this script seems really useless.
(Not the sentry jumping, just the script.)
Now we need one that builds exits on high places.
[QUOTE=Rayce;23248410]Have you tried using a mini sentry and the wrangler to boost yourself with bullets? It doesn't go as far as the rockets, but you can boost yourself very high with it.[/QUOTE]
you can't bring the sentry with you.
I tried the script and it wasn't causing the rocket to fire for me. I'd press the button and I'd jump and switch weapons, but the rockets wouldn't be fired.
Good idea, but why not just add in the mouse2 command to the start of the script? Surely the point of any script is to use less key presses

i tried already. without waits you switch the weapons too fast.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;23247394]Not trying to be a douchebag, but this script seems really useless.[/QUOTE]
The idea is that you rocketjump while carrying your sentry and redeploy. It lets you fly across the map and quickly deploy a level 3 sentry for free when you land, saving time and metal.
I'll try this, seems like it would be useful on gravelpit B at least.

Works for what it does without wait commands, my only concern being despite pasting it in engineer.cfg it's activating on b for all classes. This is rather distressing as my re-disguise button is useless.
Something tells me this is my fault, but I'm not sure what I did wrong.
This doesn't seem to work for me. I have binded the key and when i press it nothing happens, even while near the sentry.

Got it working, thanks.
