helpful How To: Everything

[Zexired 215 / 5,602]

Welcome to Zexired's never-to-be-finished guide to everything for GFLClan's Hide'n'Seek.

 

Movement

 

There are a few methods of movement, there is of course the basics of the basic, walking, crouching Ect. But there are a few techniques that players, like yourself can use and abuse to help your hide and seek experience move that bit faster.

 

Sprint Jumping

Sprint jumping is one of the most useful skills to have, it's easy to learn, easy to use and has many advantages that come with it. To sprint jump; hold SHIFT then jump with the spacebar, let go of SHIFT after jumping to maintain speed without wasting any stamina.

 

Sprint-Crouch Jumping

Sprint-Crouch jumping or Crouch Jumping are very similar, however, crouching allows for longer airtime and it can help you to reach different places that would otherwise not be achievable with regular jumping. To do this, copy the exact methodology as above, however, as you jump you want to hold CTRL to duck during your airtime.

 

Bunny Hopping/Bhopping
Bunny Hopping is one of the most useful and most enjoyable things to do in Hide'n'seek, it can be used to get away from just about anyone without wasting much, if any sprint. Not only can Bhopping be used in getaways, you can use it to do parkour, or one of my personal favourites; launching yourself off of slopes/ramps. 

To Bhop, follow the steps of Sprint-Crouch Jumping, however, you need to be holding A or D while doing this, it's recommended that you swap to those mid-air. As you hit the floor you'll need to jump while holding/pressing control, this will let you maintain your speed from the sprint without wasting any stamina.

There are two variations of this, Ducking and Standing, both of which have their advantages and disadvantages: Ducking only requires you to press spacebar and can be used in areas with low ceilings/tight spaces/jumps with relative ease, however, you are required to only use A/D. On the contrary, Standing can, for the most part, be used with W A and D, as well as this, you can use the extra height of standing to do some jumps that ducking would not be able to make, however, it is not suitable for most tight spaces/low ceiling areas.

 

Slopes are and can be either a powerful tool or a great downfall for you when Bhopping; to use these to your advantage can be hard, but it does pay off. Follow the steps above when you find a suitably slanted surface that you're able to stand on without sliding, then, follow the steps above towards the surface, make sure to hit the slope while facing the direction that you want to go, if timed correctly and depending on the chosen slopes angle, you will be sent in the direction the slope is heading down towards. This can be tricky to use, but if timed correctly, or with various other slopes, you can gain a lot of speed, distance and fun.

 

Doing it Backwards

Self explanatory, no need to be a show-off, but sometimes it can be more beneficial; it allows you to keep a close eye on the people behind you, and a blind eye on the AFK seeker you're about to bhop into.

 

Taunting

 

Taunting can be used to antagonize and humiliate other players, or to mess around with mates.

Generic Taunting
The 'Generic Taunting' is the most simple of all taunts and can be used for a small amount of fun while standing out of sight of any seekers or fellow hiders. to do this simply press the 'R' key, there are multiple variants as of what your character will say and it is completely randomized for every player. Taunts may differ depending on character model and/or gender.

Acting
'Acting/animations are always fun; whether you're dancing sleazily at seekers while you make your escape or you just want to give the seekers, or hiders, a friendly wave while they fail to reach you over and over again. To use these; open the console via the Tilde key ~ and type "act dance" or whichever act you want to do. The key to open the console may and will vary depending on keyboard or what you've bound it to. It can be activated and bound to a key in the OPTIONS menu.

(FULL LIST BELOW)

Teabagging/Duck Taunting.
Self explanatory; duck hard and duck fast.

 

Binding

 

Chat Binding

Note: All of the following is done via the Console, in order to open the console, use the tilde key or you systems designated key. This can be changed in-game in the settings. (Most commonly the Tilde Key) ~`

Binding is useful anywhere and everywhere on Gmod, whether it's Hns, DarkRP, Murder, SCP RP, Breach, Fat Kid. it's useful everywhere. Even in other games. To bind a key, do as show below.

bind [Key] "say words words words"
Example: bind p "say [rainbow]PROMOTE [rainbow2]JAT!" 

This will cause your in-game character to say that exact phrase every time you press the selected key, the "say" is needed at the beginning. Neat, right?

Acting Binding
To bind an act command type the following; Bind [KEY] "act muscle"
This will now make you dance in an exposing way whenever you press that key. Example: bind [ "act agree"

Dangers
You can bind just about everything and anything to your keys. But that's not always a good thing, here's a few things you shouldn't do.
unbind all
Bind LSHIFT QQQ

 

Unbinding

 

Just type unbind [KEY]
Not sure what key is bound to what? Type "Bind [KEY]" In chat and it will show you what is bound to your selected key.

EDITORS NOTE: UPDATE THIS YOU MONGREL.

 

Chat

 

Chatting and chat commands are very vital things to improve your overall fun and/or performance in Hide'n'seek. There are many commands and hotkeys that you'll need to know.

 

Pointshop

The Pointshop is opened by saying !shop in chat or with F3.

 

Jukebox

Need to stop the Jukebox? Type !stop in chat, alternatively, you can open it up with !jb or F7. Alternatively, you can add songs to the queue or request songs to be added to the jukebox if they're not already there!

 

MOTD

Need to check the Motd? press F9 or F2 to see everything you need to know and more!

 

Team Chooser

Wanna watch as a spectator or get back into the game? Press F2 in order to bring up the Team Chooser.

 

Whispering

To whisper type !p [PLAYERNAME] [TEXT], this will send whatever you wanna say to that selected player. Example: "!p Zexired your guide sucks." This will send a message to Zexired, if he's in-game, telling him, privately, that his guide sucks. If the player has too many spaces in their name, you can put quotation marks around it to specify who you're talking to, Example: "!p "r i s i n g" Quit car surfing >:("

 

Muting
To mute a player; hold TAB, right-click the player(s) picture(s) and click mute. Alternatively; the ULX menu has a beautiful array of mute commands under the "chat" section.

 

Menu

Another neato feature that can be useful is the ULX menu, open it up by typing !menu in chat or 'ulx menu' in console, you'll be able to access various commands (depending on rank) with ease.

 

Chat Color

One of the down-right most fun things to do in-game is to mess around with the array of colors the server has to offer, to make colored text you needa first find out what color you want, a link will be provided in the "Useful Links" Section for all of the colors, then, type the following without the full stop in the brackets.

 

[rainbow.]Text.

 

This will make whatever you say after the chosen color to become that color, this can be implemented with other colors to make a rainbow of beautiful text!

 

Act(s)

 

Dance, Muscle, Robot, Wave, Salute, Bow, Agree, Disagree, Zombie, Cheer, Halt, Laugh, Becon, Forward, Pers.

!!!!! Advanced Sprays !!!!!
Unfinished, Unformatted, Unprofessional.
 

 

Advanced Sprays is probably one of the best-worst Addons to be introduced to Hide and Seek. I love it.

Advanced Sprays uses HTML (links) and what-not to source images; the type of versatility of sprays expand based on the persons rank, as shown below.

Very awesome work. Very useful, and when it's finished, i'll pin it to the forum, so it'll be really easy to find (not like it isn't too hard to find in this forum)

Zex, there's a spelling mistake. You said "pres R" In the taunt section. That's all but great work! :DDDDDDDD

[car 96 / 3,964]

Thanks for all the dances, I was trying to figure out a bunch of them on my own, but you named a bunch of them I saw people doing, thanks again.

No problem, it's good it hear that people actually use this! That's what this post is here for! ;D

I think I'd also like to point out that you have to click the tilde key to the left of the one to open console for binding. Unless I'm missing something and then I just sound like an idiot right now.

[Zexired 215 / 5,602]

@Dex

I don't think I put that in there, thanks for pointing that out. I'll add that in unless I already put it in there and forgot about it and manage to find it, thanks.

 

If it isn't there you'll be credited.

 

EDIT:

It was there, under "Taunting". However, it was not under "Binding/Unbind". this has been fixed and you have been credited for helping with the clarification of the topic.

 

@Beenchanged

Sorry for the extremely late reply, thanks for pointing that out. You have been credited.

Notification of error.

[mbs 365 / 8,846]

@Zexired you should add them new rules to useful link pages for hns ;p

[car 96 / 3,964]

I don't know if this matters at all, but smallotown was removed and in the movement area, you reference or like point out to do that on smallotown, again, Idk if it matters though.

[car 96 / 3,964]

Also in the unbinding section, you might want to add that you unbind your keys in the console by clicking tilde.

[Zexired 215 / 5,602]

~Finally got access to Wifi.

 

@mbs

I'll do that soon, thanks for notifying me.

 

@Dex

I'll modify the post to fit in with the newly added and removed maps, thanks for bringing that to my attention. As for unbinding and such, I'll clarify that as I did with prior. 

 

Thanks guys :D

RIP Small town D:<

 

-Zexired 

 

WILL DO SOON.

@Rendicate
Oh yeah, sure.

"Credit to our lord and saviour Rendicate for only playing Garry's Mod 1 - 2 times per year, and always calling me a 'Cunt' prior to leaving the HnS server. Thank you for creating an account so that you can we can all embrace your lovely shit-post(s) that are soon to be on the forums. We truly do appreciate you blessing us with your all-mighty presence, your highness."

(In case you didn't get that, I was being extremely sarcastic.)

But in all seriousness. Look for something that I missed and/or I messed up that hasn't already been pointed out and/or edited, so that I don't have to.

Then you get a sticker
