How to set a console command with TheoTow.registerCommand()? I've tried putting it in script:init() and it doesn't work

Use TheoTown.registerCommand(string, function)
If you return a value from the function that would be displayed on the console.

Code: Select all

TheoTown.registerCommand("hello!", function()
  local number = 11 + 1
  return "Hello, the magic number is: "..number
end)

-- output: Hello, the magic number is: 12 [string]

You could also achieve the same thing with:

Code: Select all

local function hello()
  local number = 11 + 1
  return "Hello, the magic number is: "..number
end

TheoTown.registerCommand("hello!", hello())

-- output: Hello, the magic number is 12 [string]

If you want to enable it and disable it add a if statement or something to check if
a condition is true, if so run the command.

Code: Select all

local password = "something"

TheoTown.registerCommand("hello!", function()
  if password == "olsken" then
    local number = 11 + 1
    return "Hello, the magic number is: "..number
  end
end)

--- (console) "hello" > [nil]
--- password = olsken [string] 
--- (console) "hello" > Hello, the magic number is: 12 [string]

*Note*
Command names don't override existing command names.
For example, the command above is "hello!" but if I change it to "hello" you would get
a different result as TheoTown already has the prebuilt command "hello" would would say "42"

bear out!

Also, is it possible to make console command require arguments? I tried TheoTown.registerCommand("testt", function(arg)) but this seems doesn't work how I expected

I don't think there are any arguments. What do you want to do?

I just wanted to make a command, which would set radius and zone around some building by taking radius and zone ID as parameters

Tried something like that but it doesn't work. That's why I'm trying to create a terminal in TheoTown which gives you more powerful commands but for personal reasons I can't work on it for a while :/

Try to just change the condition variables with command and call that variables in outside of register command function.

Code: Select all

local c1 = 0

function script:update()
TheoTown.registerCommand(name,function(name,arg)
if c1 == 0 then 
c1 = 1
Debug.toast('On')
elseif c1 == 1 then
c1 = 0
Debug.toast('Off')
end
end)
end

function script:click(x,y,level)
if c1 == 1 then
Your stuff ...
end
end

Why in online i can't save the data to storage and load it back when restart the games?

And what is possible to save data on the city and city visitors load that data what we save before?

[JustAnyone]

All scripts or fun transitions are disabled for cities in online mode unless you are the city author and have plugin manifest for your script.

is there a function to separate thousands or millions with ","? like 1,000,000

[Bearbear76]

is there a function to separate thousands or millions with ","? like 1,000,000

Might be a better way but this is what I came up with.

Code: Select all

local function seperate(value)
  local result = ""
  value = tostring(value):reverse()

  for set in value:gmatch("..?.?") do
    result = result..set..","
  end
  result = result:sub(1, -2):reverse()
  return result
end

Found another solution that also uses gsub here:

Code: Select all

function comma_value(amount)
  local formatted = amount
  while true do  
    formatted, k = string.gsub(formatted, "^(-?%d+)(%d%d%d)", '%1,%2')
    if (k==0) then
      break
    end
  end
  return formatted
end

print(comma_value(1234567))

In other languages you'd be able to use the string format function to do that for you, but Lua is different

Thanks.

I tried it before, but didn't work. now it works. lol

Fixed the code to work because Lobby wants to click green buttons

Is there road with road decoration have specific conditions? Because when i'm place road decoration on road, the script doesn't work. Even when i use Tile.isRoadDeco(x,y,level).

[Lobby]

Did you use Builder.isRoadDecoBuildable to check if it is buildable in the first place? Road decorations can define requirements like flags and alignment for the road they can be placed on.

Still doesn't work. I try to use script:overlay(), that's work, but the script keep updating, not update only once.

Seems to work for me. Your crush gives s random answer from the array. Right?

Anyway, that is sometime give you an answer not from the array.
