Summary
Map Scripting Overhaul
This update focuses exclusively on expanding the capabilities of Counter-Strike 2's map scripting system (VScript). The most significant additions are the custom_hud_layout entity, which allows map makers to create custom UI elements using CSS, and the cs_player_camera entity for advanced camera control.
New Scripting Functions
Developers now have access to dozens of new functions and events related to bomb interactions, player pawn states, and HUD manipulation. The update also improves the debugging experience by adding more detailed error logging to the console during script compilation and execution.
