Console Commands

[TyChi]

Anyone know a simpler way to use console commands on another player? 

 

I realize that 

 

c_find("wilson").components.health:SetPercent(1)

 

works, but is there a better way? For example, if there are two or more Wilsons, then they all have to make sure the one you are trying the change is the one nearest. Is there anyway to identify a player by steam name in the console perhaps? It would make things much easier.

 

Secondly, is there a way that I can make my own mod to have shortcuts to these console commands? I did read some of the code and if i am correct, you identify yourself as ThePlayer in console. That or ConsoleCommandPlayer(). So is there a way I could make a mod or edit the lua files to create more individual player classes that would identify friends in my server? If so, which file should I be editing? Or would I have to make a new file? Also I really only play with the same handful amount of people so having preset player files corresponding to them instead of creating it when a player joins makes more sense and seems easier to me. I don't need this to work on a server where randoms join, just a private server of 5 people. Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

What I do is add custom console commands to consolecommands.lua, but I suppose you could do the same thing by having a modmain containing nothing but stuff like this (the reason I do it in consolecommands is so I can leave out all the GLOBALs, but putting stuff there means that it gets overwritten in the periodic patches):

GLOBAL.c_heal_everyone = function()    for k,v in pairs(GLOBAL.AllPlayers) do        v.components.health:SetPercent(1)    endend

But as for finding specific players when you've got multiple of the same character.... not easily. The players are stored in AllPlayers, but their order is not necessarily the same as the order on the scoreboard (which pulls from TheNet:GetClientTable(), which doesn't refer to the actual player objects). You could use the combination of the two to write a script to get the nth player on the scoreboard like this, I guess:

GLOBAL.NthPlayer = function(n)    local userid = GLOBAL.TheNet:GetClientTable()[n].userid    for k,v in pairs(AllPlayers) do        if v.userid == userid then return v end    endend

Thanks for your reply again! So I took your code and changed it up a bit. 

 

I used this function in order to obtain their player objects using their userid.

 

friend = function()

    local userid = 'KU_blahblah'

    for k,v in pairs(AllPlayers) do

        if v.userid == userid then return v end

    end

end

 

Then I slightly edited the commands that already work for me.

 

function resfriend()

    if friend():HasTag("playerghost") then 

        friend():PushEvent("respawnfromghost")

        friend().components.health:SetPercent(1)

        friend().components.hunger:SetPercent(1)

        friend().components.sanity:SetPercent(1)

        print("Reviving",friend().name,"from ghost.")

    end

end

 

 

Thanks for the help!

 

On a side note, how did you get those fancy lines for your code? I'm new to forum posting in general.

It's one of the buttons at the top of the editor, the one that looks like "< >". And to tag people in your posts (like I did), you can select a little bit of their text and a button to "mention" (and also quote) will come up.
