What do i need?

(Don't worry for the links i provide i do not use any affiliate link)

1. Arduino (Nano)
2. Relay
3. 5V pump
4. Some kind of ~5V power supply (e.g. cabel or battery box)

How to setup

1. Set up the Hardware

First you'll have to setup your Hardware. Therefore wireup an Arduino like follows:
5V -> Relay 5V
GND -> Relay Gnd
D10* -> Relay Din
*Note that the pin for switching the arduino can be changed in the Arduino script Connect the power supply and the pump so the relay is in series with the components and can act like a switch. Then dip the pump into the drink you want to have pumped. Note that you (obviously) can use this to trigger other events as well (You don't have to pump RobbyBubble into your mouth) e.g. triggering a light circuit, a motor, w/e really the boundry is your imagination.

2. Flash the Arduino

Open the Arduino/app.ino in the Android IDE or in Visual Studio Code with the Android Plugin. Select your Arduino board type and port (remember the port identifier (COMXX) for later). Upload the sketch to the arduino.

3. Setup CSGO

Find the directory in which you installed CSGO then go to the /csgo/cfg folder and copy and paste the gamestate_integration_drinkGame.cfg into it.
Note that this isn't a cheat and it won't get detected as such. I'm using an official interface (gamestate integration) which provides the state of the player through http calls to a specified endpoint. For more information on the topic check out the Valve developer docs on CSGO gamestate integration: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Game_State_Integration

4. Setup the appsettings

Open the NetCoreServer/compiledBinaries/appsettings.json and change the ArduinoPort parameter to the port name the arduino is connected to (the identifier you remembered earlier). Note that if you wan't to connect your Arduino to a different port you will have to look up the new port name.
Optional: You can change the the max pump duration and the thresholds (which defines when a drink penalty is triggered). The time how long the relay, and therefore the pump, is activated is calculated by pumpDuration = pumpMultiplicator * MaxPumpDuration

5. Start the NetcoreServer

execute the NetCoreServer/compiledBinaries/CSGODrinkingGameServer.exe. If you don't trust me just open the Code in Visual Studio or another C# IDE of your choice, check it thoroughly and compile it on your own. I recommend you to export it as a self contained application. The application should open a cmd window and start.

6. Play the game

Start csgo, queue into Matchmaking (or some other gamemode) and enjoy. Note: I only tested this in Wingman, (Competitive) Matchmaking and in Casual.

Common problems

• Make sure that the port 4327 of localhost isn't used by another application. If you have something using that port, and closing the app or changing the port the app uses is not an option, you may change the port of the CSGODrinkingGame by changing the according values in the gamestate_integration_drinkGame.cfg and in the NetCoreServer. Note that you'll have to restart CSGO and recompile the NetCoreServer to apply the changes you've made.
