Training Methods (examples)

**Rocket+shotgun training**Configuration:- Spawn light classes- Play soldierFire one rocket under a bot. When they are flying in the air shoot him with the shotgun. Try approaching the bots from different angles and distances. This is a useful technique that can be used in real servers. It's possible to use scouts, spies or medics too to practice.**Airstab training**Configuration:- Bind tr_teleport to any key (for example, bind f tr_teleport)- Play spyStand in a catwalk or somewhere high where bots walk (preferably near a black and yellow square). When a bot comes nearby, drop or jump over him, crouch and stab him as soon as you touch his back. If it's done well, you will do a backstab. For trying again, instead of walking to the spot where you started, shoot the yellow and black square and press the key you bound to tr_teleport. This will teleport you to that position (note that the teleport don't change after using it, this means that you don't need to shoot the square again every time you want to teleport to that place). The airstab technique is very useful to all spies, so its recommended that you know the timing for using it in real games.Notice that you can change the speed to scout to make the training more difficult. You can also use the teleporters located on the beams in the roof for airstabing.NOTE: airstabs has many names, like overhead stab, height advantage, etc. Some peoples says that they don't even need a name...I used airstab and stairstab to differentiate the gamemodes.**Sniper training**Configuration:- Spawn bots for headshot training- Any dodging option (jump, strafe or back and forth)- Play sniperFind a good spot and practice. The bots spawned for headshot training work quite well for shooting them from the side, compared to normal spawns. Find a quiet place and shoot them to the head. You can also stand on the track and do twitch-shots.**Basic air-strafing**Configuration:- Remove all bots- Launch-pad- No random power- High launch-pad powerAir strafing is useful for increasing rocket jump distance and decreasing the chances of being hitwhile flying. This readme will not go deep in this move but basically, you need to press the strafe key without pressing neither "w" or "a" and slowly move the mouse in the direction of the strafe key (if you are strafing with "a", move slowly the mouse to the left). Normally, to practice thistechnique you need to to rocket jump to get the initial impulse. With the launch pad, you can getthe initial impulse easier and practice airstrafing after being launched. For example, try to getto the catwalks BEHIND of the launchpad or disable the random trajectory and using air strafe,get a bigger distance when traveling in a straight line.**Stairstab training**Configuration:- Play spyStand on the slope where the bots walk uphill. When one of them is coming, jump over him, crouch, spin 180?and hit him with the knife when he is below you. Hopefully you will land a backstab. This is a famous trick, hard to pull off but really rewarding, especially when it's done to a real player. You can change the movement speed to scout to increase the difficulty. Don't forget to change the slope too!**ULTIMATE Sniper training**Configuration:- Spawn bots for headshot training- Bots move back and forth- Bots jump- Bots strafe- Short strafe time- Scout speed- Play sniperGamemode designed to make snipers cry (or feel godlike)**Airblast training**Configuration:- Spawn airblast training classes- Make bots attack- Hurt bots (optional)- Bots aim down (optional)- Play pyro with default flamethrowerPractice rockets and pipebombs reflection. Hurt bots will make them easier to kill and botsaim down gives soldiers a more realistic behavior.**Revolver training**Configuration:- Random bots- Bots move back and forth- Bots strafe- Long strafe timer- Play spyTrain aim with the revolver. Snipe with the revolver low health classes. Jump around a movelike crazy for making the practice more realistic**Airblast jump**Configuration:- Spawn soldiers- Bots aim down- Stop movement button or tr_stop- tr_attackonce bound to any key (for example, bind f tr_attackonce)- Critical hits off (optional)- Play pyro with default flamethrowerUse the stop movement button after some soldiers are in the track to make them stop. You canalso use tr_stop console command. Find a soldier with an open space in front of him, preferablyat the beginning of the walkway and press the key binded to tr_attackonce. Position yourselfnear the rocket hit and closer to the soldier. To airblast jump, make the bot fire, when therocket is about to hit you, jump, crouch and airblast the rocket under you. Try to reach highplaces, like catwalks. Critical hits are turned off just in case you receive a critical rocketto your face, but it can be turned on to perform high jumps. Use bot_refill to give the soldiersammo and health.**Hard airstab**Configuration:- Spawn pyros- Bots aim up- Make bots attack- Resupply off- Play spyIt's just like stairstabs, but it makes them a lot more challenging. This also simulates realpyros behaviour and let you see the real area of effect from the flame. Fail once and you willbe on fire, rushing to the medkit. NOTE: sometimes the pyro's flame will be invisible. To fixit you need to turn on and off the bot's attack (binding tr_attack to some key helps too)
