An Interesting Idea

[Razc01na]

I was just thinking... Lua has interactive mode, which is like a command line mode you can type stuff in. I think it's hard codded in the lua binary, so there is a good chance this thing exists in bully.exe

Would it be possible enter this mode in any way?

I believe this could really make modding this game move forward...
Think about it like the console on goldsrc/source based games

You mean Console Commands?

If that's what you mean, i already made it before (at least i tried to).

It's the most difficult script i ever made (seriously), it's working, but it also sucks cause i don't know any better.
Bully does not provide access to console anyway, so we have to make it ourself.

Wow that's a long ass script 

I meant like a way to run lua functions on the go (exactly like a console command!!!). But you would actually type rather than scroll through the entire alphabet letter by letter...

I have to outsmart the string.gsub and loadstring functions lol.

It's quite challenging to convert string into readable Lua format without them.
Especially calling a variable from table and executing function with multiple arguments.

(e.g.: Table[Option].Name)
(e.g.: PedSetFlag(gPlayer, 2, true))

Typing feature is beyond our Lua capabilities, so it's the least i could do.
I'm sure that we need a ScriptHook to map all the keys.

Unfortunately... That's why this idea came to mind in the first place.
I'm sure, though, bully can read from the entire keyboard (at least one key at a time). You can customize the the controls in scholarship edition so...

By the way what does this function do? (out of curiosity)

What's "this"?

I assume you already knew string.gsub based on a thread before.
If you're talking about loadstring, it loads a chunk or function from a string.

loadstring("option = option + 1")() --> option + 1
loadstring("TextPrintString('Hello Bullworth!', 4, 1)")() --> print 'Hello Bullworth!'

Somehow, it didn't work as i expected in Bully.
Well, it's so much easier to run code from a string with loadstring.

Hmm... I could swear I had quoted one more time, strange   

I meant this function:

Code: [Select]

PedSetFlag(gPlayer, 2, true)
I have seen this function multiple times on decompiled scripts but never figured out what it does

It's to set the ped to crouch (true) or not (false).

[Razc01na]

So that means PedFlag 2 is crouch state?

There are at least more than 100 of those...

How do you know all these?

[Altamurenza]

DeadpoolXYZ (previously known as The Dream Is Dead / TDID) has documented it in 2015.
It can be found here.

Although it wasn't complete yet, but it was the most comprehensive findings we ever have (in context of ped flags).

I see...

Thanks
