📝 Getting started 📝
While counter strike 2 has an interface to allow the running of javascript code to interact with the game engine (The successor to squirrel/lua vscripts), it currently isn't fully released/supported by Valve.
S2TS is a project that compiles TypeScript code into .vts_c files that can then run in counter strike 2. Everything here is specific to the S2TS project and might change, break or even become redundent as Valve continue to work on the TypeScript interface with the source 2 engine.
Installation
Run npx create-s2ts@latest at the root of your map folder. The folder should be something like /Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/content/csgo_addons/<map-name>. This will setup a node project and create an example map.
npx create-s2ts@latest
Run the install:
npm install
Using The Compiler
Once installed you can run with the start command:
npm run start
While running, s2ts will look for any file updates to .vts and .ts files in your /scripts/vscripts folder at Counter-Strike Global Offensive/content/csgo_addons/<map-name>/scripts/vscripts and automatically compile then save them to Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo_addons/<map-name>/scripts/vscripts.
You can find an example TypeScript script at /scripts/vscripts/main.ts. Update and save this script while s2ts is running, and the script will be compiled. If you are running your map in counter strike, you must re-compile the map for this new script to take effect.
Utility Library Usage
S2TS also provides some utility functions. These can be imported into your script from s2ts/counter-strike. To use any of these functions you need to be using the maps/s2tsmap.vmap example map (Created as part of create-s2ts but can also be downloaded here). If you are not using the example map you must set up the required entities yourself to use the features of this library.
