i picked this forum because it said software tutorails are here too.

i want to know how to use the LUA code consel in FC (yes i am a modder don't worry [just not a great modder when it comes to lua]) what are some commands and is it like changing an lua in modtools. how do i use it to get stuff to happen. i wonder if i can add units or change hero or change healths or stuff. i kinda just want to know all there is about it. if some one has ideas or tutorials it would help. my other question is: does it work on dedicated, nondedicated, or both? (i am using nondedicated)

forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13806

and i'm buildng a program to work with luas.

I looked over the LUA section but i didn't find anything about FC's LUA coder only a lot of LUA codes still it is useful but i need to learn about the coder in FC.

off-topic: good luck with your LUA project

You just type Lua code; there are no special commands. Whatever you type gets run when you hit enter. Think of it as adding code to ScriptPostLoad().

Since it's easy to make a typing mistake, it's more for modders to test some changes without remunging their map. If you want commands you'll be doing multiple times, possibly on different maps, use a custom user script to add custom Fake Console commands.

Sounds easy enough i'll test it out next time i can. I'll also post back with the resualts.

Isn't there some sort of failsafe?

/yes. He said it could be used for testing pieces of code in the FC and correcting a typo quickly instead of munging and realizing you had a typing mistake that wasted 5 minutes.

I meant you don't want to have to retype the same commands over and over ingame, so it would be better to make a custom user script if a command was going to be used a lot.

A typo will simply cause that command to fail. However a wrong command could cause the game to crash.

Back finally with test results: i can now change the weapons of units while in game i am right now using an empire engineer with a rebel blaster rifle. now all i need to do is master this and find more codes like these ones. thank u gametoast

also is there i way i can use it online like a pure client code thing i have seen it before on dedicated servers but i don't know the code

also what is the health code i saw a topic like this on the all you need to know thread but it didn't work maybe i did something wrong. also what are the ammo and other codes like run and jump speeds.
