Modding Help Help me make a simple mod With commandProcessorScripts:conf

Hi guys, I'm new here and I'm lost. I keep reading the forum that after several hours I could not make a mod. I'm trying to make a custom command with a .lua file and commandProcessorScripts config (universe_server.config)




My custom command It should only be used from the console or with admin in game. and pass the arguments, either the user's UUID, coordinate or some method to deliver items to a player. (filename.lua)

Code:

function myNewCommand(arguments)
    -- do magic here
end

Anyone know how I can do this, at least guide me to create a custom command. No matter if you only print text console, what I need is help with part of creating my new custom command.

Really thank you very much, regards.

 

There isn't much info on this yet. But here is a good start.

I tested it and it does indeed work.

 

)= I relied on it but I have not succeeded, I wonder if you can share with me your test files (packed and unpacked mod) possible ?? please if you do not mind. Thank You

 

Thanks @kyleetehkitty
I'll try now =) I see that is different to what I was doing.

Edit:
It worked, thank you very much for the help, I spent all night trying

I can use objects that are out of commandProcessor?

Code:

function location(clientId, arguments)
   local myPos = tech.position()
   return ("X:" .. myPos[0] .. "Y:" .. myPos[1])
end

Exampla call: world.spawnItem(), Storage functions

Thanks

 

I'm really not sure how scripts work, but world.entityPosition() or even mcontroller.position() should suffice.
There's not really a need to use the tech table, and it probably won't work because it's not a tech.

I think your best bet is reading the charId of the clientId (or might they even be the same?) and call world.entityPosition()

And you probably can use scriptedEntities via the callScriptedEntities thing, but as mentioned before, I never ever even thought about meddling with commands yet.

Oh, another thing, the return of myPos would look like this anyways:

{x, y}

Which means you should probably change your coordinates to myPos[1] and myPos[2], also, I'm not sure this return type does what you want to do.

I'd rather use universe.adminWhisper() function or something similar, I guess.

 

I understand what you say, but will not let me call world.entityPosition (). The same problem with mcontroller.position ().
I do something extra before trying to get the position?



Same error with world callbacks, tech, etc... sure I'm missing something

 

Okay, digging a bit deeper, I figured how this whole things works.
It's not as usefull as you might think (altho it IS indeed very usefull).

You have access to two kinds of things while writing commands.

The commandProcessor class and the UniverseServer Lua-namespace.

I'll probably run a few tests later and get back to more info on that, but no promises there yet.
But yeah, everything outside those two is more or less rendered useless (unless makeCommandCallback() does a different thing from what I'd expect it to do).

 

Anyone tried this with the 1.0 version?
It says my function doesn't exist, but all I can say is that it isn't the patch file.
Also tried it with the same function as the example.

 

Not sure if it is in 1.0 or not, I am still playing modding info catchup from a year of doing other things xD If I come across anything I will be sure to share it.

 

Did steps described above but no luck, game says such a command does not exit

 

The command processing stuff looks to have changed since the above example was created. Waiting for Docs to shed some more light at this point.
