Beginners Trickstab Tutorial | TF2
Hey everybody Hawnsel here! I originally did a video like this 6 years ago, but it's not only dated but looking back it's horrible so I wanted to update some of the information and put into more of a professional manner. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer them all!

Warning: if you rebind the developer console, there’s a bug that’s been in the game since 2013 at least, where the new key you select won’t work until you‘re in a server. To get around this I‘d recommend going to your steam library, right clicking tf2 in the game list, clicking properties, then adding to the launch options “-console” (without the quotes). This will have the console launch when you start the game, other than that join a server or do the offline practice then press the console button! (You could get a hud that has a console button too!)
Command for your autoexec:
alias "tr_walkway" "map workshop/606778917; sv_allow_point_servercommand always"
then type tr_walkway in your console every time you want to practice:
Edit: This command broke in a recent bug fix so now every time you want to use the map you have to input in console:
(Don't put this in your autoexec)
map workshop/606778917; sv_allow_point_servercommand always
Edit 2: ^ This may be fixed but every small update it's subject to break so try the original command first before attempting the fix.
