Access controller/service from standalone scripts #150

Closed tacheometry closed 4 years ago

tacheometry commented 4 years ago

Is there a way to access a controler/service's functions from a Script/LocalScript that isn't related at all to AGF? More details:

I'm trying to make a command with Cmdr (a neat command line in-game), but the problem is that you can only make commands using separate ModuleScripts, where you specify a function for each command, like this:

ClientRun = function(_, argument)
  local myController = ?

  return myController:DoSomethingWith(argument)
end

Yup, this is possible by using _G.Aero! In your case, it could be like this:

while (not _G.Aero) do wait() end
ClientRun = function(_, argument)
    local myController = _G.Aero.Controllers.MyController
    return myController:DoSomethingWith(argument)
end
