How do I make it so I can add concommands before init? #57

Closed StupidRepo closed 1 year ago

StupidRepo commented 1 year ago

It keeps giving me errors and I can't create a concommand before init.lua please help

You have to use AddConsoleCommand, not concommand.Add if you want to add a console command before init.lua. This is because concommand.Add is created in Lua as a result of init.lua executing; it is not a C function.

Thank you! How do I make the command call a function on run though? It seems like AddConsoleCommand only takes the command name and some help text and not a function. I know it says it calls concommand.Run but I'm not sure how to detect when that's called... unless it's a hook?

Also, when I update gluasteal.lua does it update in real time as in like if I were to update it to print("HI") when init.lua occurs, it'd print HI when I next go into a server or do I have to reinject for it to update?

Basically, if gluasteal.lua contains this: print("HELLO") but then I update it to this: print("HI")

Will it still print HELLO or will it print HI?

All I wanna do is be able to run a command in my console to get an executer window up so I can run lua code within the game via a UI without having to restart it.

The engine calls concommand.Run https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod/blob/39038361c65285a198660e7bc09623955aa44b2c/garrysmod/lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua#L45-L61. You would have to hook that function so you can listen for commands yourself.

Yes, it updates the file in real time - each time a file is executed by glua-steal it is re-read from disk.
