Update 2: turns out these chat popups can be forced to disappear after some time with "tf_chat_popup_hold_time"
I knew I wasn't crazy

Update: I ended up solving the issue by turning all the contents of chatpopup.res invisible.

I'm trying to fix those persisting party chat notifications in the top left corner that just won't disappear, but I can't seem to be able to find any files related to them. So far, the only thing I figured out is that they are called ChatPopup in the vgui_drawtree, but I haven't been able to find anything related to this in hudanimations, nor just looking through the folders nor in clientscheme. Does anyone know where to find any related files?

Heyo! I'm trying to fix the party chat notifications that won't disappear, but I just can't find their creation event. Can anyone suggest me their name? I know they are called ChatPopup in the drawtree, but I can't find anything related to that. Thanks!

I started working on the script but it turns out that incrementvar sets every other variable to 0, which means I will need the brute force approach. Dammit...

Alright, after some manual experiments I discovered that the original -20 to 20 value range for every axis is kinda ridicilous since most of it is impractical, and I was able to reduce the number of aliases from 1600 to just 300 (-5 to 15 for left/right and 0 to -15 on up/down) which is a little more plausible and seems like something I can manage even without the autofill, so thanks for your effort.

The "incrementvar" command can only handle 3 arguments: valueMin, valueMax, Delta. Sadly it won't work like that, although setting just those three values changes only the X axis.

# range to set
min = -2
max = 2

# enforce proper wrapping rules
def getCoords(x, y, z, separator):
    toret = ''
    toret += str((x - min) % (max - min + 1) + min) + separator
    toret += str((y - min) % (max - min + 1) + min) + separator
    toret += str((z - min) % (max - min + 1) + min) 
    return toret

# base binds
for c in ['x', 'y', 'z']:
    print('alias "inc_vm_' + c + '" "vm_0_0_0"')
print('')

# internal state binds
for x in range(min, max + 1):
    for y in range(min, max + 1):
        for z in range(min, max + 1):
            toprint = 'alias "vm_' + getCoords(x, y, z, '_') + '" "'
            toprint += 'tf_viewmodels_offset_override ' + getCoords(x, y, z, ' ') + ';'
            toprint += 'alias inc_vm_x vm_' + getCoords(x+1, y, z, '_') + ';'
            toprint += 'alias inc_vm_y vm_' + getCoords(x, y+1, z, '_') + ';'
            toprint += 'alias inc_vm_z vm_' + getCoords(x, y, z+1, '_') + '"'
            print(toprint)

I appreciate your effort, but there are a few problems with this approach that prevented me from using it before even asking, namely:
1) TF2 config files cannot be larger than 1 Mb, which would mean those would have to be divided in a heckton files.
2)This script is great, but it would help to not involve the x axis since it is possible to manipulate it with incrementvar
3)Decrement support is another reason why this idea is even needed, it would be a tad easier with only increments.

Hey guys, I have this idea for a script that would simplify my life a lot, but I just can't come up with a reasonable way to pull it off.
Basically I am a viewmodel modder, where I reposition the viewmodels to a place where they take up less screen space. A command I use a lot for this is "tf_viewmodels_offset_override x y z", it moves the viewmodels around so that I can see what position feels nicer to then make it usable in pubs (this command is sv_cheats 1 restricted but I have a way of moving the viewmodels without it, I just need an estimate where I should move it since it involves a lot of game restarts). I recently had an idea of binding it to some keys like arrows and plus/minus to move the viewmodel around for my convenience, because typing it in manually is a tedious process, but the most obvious way, incrementvar, doesn't seem to work on multi-variable commands. The only way of pulling it off I can come up with is using incrementvar to move along the x axis (because that's what's changing when it's being used with the command) and a system of aliases for each possible position I would need that binds the keys to moving it to the nearby slot, but that's too many aliases (like, 1600 too many). Is there any other solution I am missing, perhaps a command or an addition to incrementvar to make it change other values of tf_viewmodels_offset_override?
