Counter-Strike Source Addon Script Help!

[cwtech]

I am making an addon for the popular online game counter-strike source.

I need the %AppDirectory% to change based on the users installation. The game in installed in a directory based on the users account name.

It looks something like this:
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\blah@12345.com\counter-strike source

I need the %AppDirectory% to change and i need a script that will find this folder and set it to the %AppDirectory%.

I have been trying to get the examples here to work, but i have been unsuccessful.

I would appreicate any help if possible.
Thanks in advance!

First you will need to find that path on the users system. The registry is the easiest way (Registry.GetValue()) but this requires the registry key to always exist. The next way I guess is File.Find(). You can give it priority paths to start from.

Once you have the value in question setting the %AppFolder% is a one line action: SessionVar.Set("%AppFolder%",path to folder);

I hope this helps

There is a scripting guide available from Here that can help with the scripting. The File.Find() action can be set up in the actions editor. Here is a small sample script that does not include the guts of the File.Find action but does show the framework that you can work from:

FileFound = File.Find("C:\\MyDir\\", "*.pdf", false, false, nil, nil);
if FileFound ~= nil then
	-- A file was found that matched your search criteria
	-- But the File.Find() returns the full path to the
	-- file but you onlu want the folder
	Paths = String.SplitPath(FileFound[1]);
	-- set %AppFolder% to the drive and folder
	SessionVar.Set("%AppFolder%",Paths.Drive..Paths.Folder);
else
	-- the file was not found. Handle this case however you plan to
end

You should perform this early in the setup process. Also note that you should remove the "Select Install Folder" screen since it will overwrite %AppFolder%
