[ZM] [RELEASE] Running and Reloading!

[Coronavirus-19]

This isn't true running and reloading, more so an illusion. In Black Ops 2, running and reloading at the same time isn’t actually a scriptable feature — it’s hard-locked by the game engine itself.

Why true “run + reload” isn’t possible in BO2 (and why this is a workaround)

When you reload:
• The engine forces the player out of sprint
• Sprint is only allowed while moving forward
• Reload animations temporarily override movement logic
• Scripts do not receive early reload input events
Because of this, there’s no exposed function in GSC to:
• Detect the reload button press early
• Override sprint restrictions
• Allow sprinting during reload
• Change movement state mid-animation
Those checks happen below the scripting layer, inside the player movement code (pm_* functions), which GSC can’t modify.

So how does this script work?

Instead of true sprint-reload, the script:
• Detects when the engine flags the player as “reloading”
• Temporarily boosts walk speed
• Restores normal speed once reload finishes
This creates the illusion of running while reloading:
• Movement feels faster
• No animation breaking
• No desync
• No crashes
It’s the closest possible result without engine hooks or custom DLLs.

Raw Code:

#include maps\mp\_utility;

init()
{
    level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
    for ( ;; )
    {
        level waittill("connected", player);
        player thread onPlayerSpawned();
    }
}

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self endon("disconnect");

    for ( ;; )
    {
        self waittill("spawned_player");

        // Start reload speed monitor
        self thread reloadWalkSpeedBoost();
    }
}

reloadWalkSpeedBoost()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    self endon("death");

    normalSpeed = 1.0; // default speed is 1.0
    reloadSpeed = 1.5; // adjust if needed (1.2–1.5 safe)

    wasReloading = false;

    for (;;)
    {
        isNowReloading = self isReloading();

        // Detect reload START (edge detection)
        if ( isNowReloading && !wasReloading )
        {
            self setMoveSpeedScale(reloadSpeed);
        }

        // Detect reload END
        if ( !isNowReloading && wasReloading )
        {
            self setMoveSpeedScale(normalSpeed);
        }

        wasReloading = isNowReloading;
        wait 0.05;
    }
}
