A New code pointer

chaoscentral · Post by **chaoscentral** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 1:06 pm

We really need a new code pointer in decorate so we can call console commands from a weapon or something. This is probably beyond the scope of the inofficial build, but we should have something along the lines of

A_Console("console comand")

whic sends out the command and inputs it into the console... Just think of the possibilities with this...

Like summon/summon friend monsters or the ogre-armour pickup/weapon

<insert F word here followed by a couple of !'s>
ChaosCentral says:
we need a command in decorate A_Console("action")

Explains how it came up.

We need it, seriously, if it can be added into the inofficial/unofficial build, then it'd be GREATLY appreciated. Unless there is a workaround or another codepointer or something else along those lines...

Can't you use an Archvile flag in a weapon to ressurect monsters?

No, what I want to use it for is my RPG implementation, a DEATH script that checks to see if the player has a Phoenix Down in their inventory, and if there is, use the inventory item and resurrect the player.

I remember someone asking about this a long time ago, and there was some talk about malicious scripts -- not so much that they could bork your computer, but they could mess with your configs and stuff via the console commands. A paranoid notion to be sure, but hey.

Oh, right, I see. Now it all makes sense, I suppose you could use ACS (I don't kno myself, I'm just guessing)

A_Console("Unbind all")

Hmmm

Who would be stupid enough to abuse a feature like that?

Stupid question...Right?

Cutmanmike · Post by **Cutmanmike** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 1:26 pm

Well I wouldn't because i'd have to test it first

LK873 · Post by **LK873** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 1:27 pm

If you wanted to test it you could just copy your config file to another directory and overwrite it when done.

Cutmanmike · Post by **Cutmanmike** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 1:27 pm

I have no time for that!

LK873 · Post by **LK873** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 1:28 pm

It was just a suggestion in-case someone did something stupid like that.

A_Console("Unbind all; summon 1337man; summon 1337man; summon 1337man...

heh

Well make "Unbind all" inaccessable.
