Adding custom console commands

[PeterA]

Hey everyone,

 

I recently found out that some people didn't realize they could add their own console commands from a mod. It's as simple as adding a function to the global table. I did this for the Glutton mod to help with control the tournament's servers from the console.

--in modmain.lualocal function StartGlutton()	print("### StartGlutton ###")	world_inst.components.GluttonGameLogic:StartGlutton()endGLOBAL.StartGlutton = StartGlutton

Then I simply needed to run "StartGlutton()" from the server's console to start the game.

 

Hopefully this information is useful for someone else in setting up their own console commands.

Thank you, @PeterA! This ought to make it much easier for more thorough modmakers to make their own console commands for debugging purposes.
