CS2 Workshop Update: Custom UI and Camera Scripting Tools
Major Map Scripting Evolution
Valve is handing creators powerful new tools to build custom UI overlays and manipulate camera perspectives in Workshop maps. This update finally bridges the gap for advanced community-made game modes inside the Source 2 engine.
Detailed Tweaks & Features
- Custom UI: Builders can now use CSS and panels to create unique HUD elements.
- Camera Control: New entities allow fixing player views without moving their actual pawns.
- Bomb Logic: Scripting now tracks plant/defuse events like start and abort states.
Everything else is just minor API cleanup and logging improvements. A huge win for map makers looking to reinvent standard gameplay.
