almost every 6v6 team does it

Only person I’ve ever seen do it regularly is Dennia from 4ever, div 3 Swedish team. Next level gamer?

For 6’s:

add to autoexec:

alias quickspy quickspy1
alias quickspy1 “join_class spy; alias quickspy quickspy2”
alias quickspy2 “disguise 5 -1; slot2; alias quickspy quickspy3”
alias quickspy3 “lastdisguise; alias quickspy quickspy4”
alias quickspy4 “changeback; alias quickspy quickspy1”
bind *key* quickspy

Obviously pick a key for it.
In scout.cfg add:

alias changeback “join_class scout”
alias quickspy quickspy1

You’ll be almost as fast to mid as the other scout

Props to OndKaja for showing me the script

we are using it as often as we can, its more an USE than an abuse

I used the word ‘abuse’ in the same sense you call unlock using “unlock abuse”.

It was never my intention to make that script go public (well, it IS embarrassingly badly written), and I only shared it with around six people or so. But hey, it has been one year since I wrote it so I guess it’s bound to leak sooner or later.

Throughout div 6 and div 4, I shared this with the scouts on my team, who would be very dedicated in checking the opponent’s medic in the start of every round (especially Dennia). And you would be done checking after the end of freezetime, so the only downside was that you might get a slightly worse spawn.

Before our officials, I would be so keen as to check the opponent medic’s backpack to see what he had named his medigun and kritzkrieg. That’s probably the reason my team won division 4 (not really). Our medic had nametagged his medigun and kritzkrieg so their names were exactly the same; the only way to reliably counter the spy checking what medigun you’re using.

Also, the full script: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18724316/qspy.txt (Swedish)

Pretty sure its says this even on the “pro tips” while loading maps screen

Please, it’s the idea of using spy disguises to check that’s important, creating a script to make it easy is child’s play. There isn’t much credit to be taken for this.

When I re-read my post I kinda sound like I wanted to take credit. But no, the reason why I wanted it to be a secret is because it gave my team an advantage. Once a script like this becomes well-known you will see more people using it. Now that this script is public you’ll see a lot more teams going to use this to check the enemy’s uber.

And yes, this was known ages before I made this script. But very few teams actually bothered to check the enemy’s medigun at the start of every round, even if they knew the basic idea of it. That gave us an advantage and is why I didn’t want to make this script public.

The sniper script that removed the scope’s borders comes to mind. It had existed for years, but once the actual script was made public, you saw a lot more snipers using that script.

In b4 every medic now renames their mediguns.

fuck spies, both of my guns are mediguns :D
