To all you cheaters: Here's some help

also useful:
/globallos
/destroy
the rest of Spring chat commands

Documentation is great. Wikify?

I suspect some of the ship names might have changed. Pretty sure Typhoon is now shipraider.

I tried to use /nocost as well as /globallos, but they did not work for me in a multiplayer. Looks like they do work in single player though. I will add them.

!hostsay is needed. Try !hostsay /nocost

I'm wondering, if I'm playing with a friend against the CAI and I use /team to change to his team, will we both be able to control the same units?

EDIT: It looks like that is the case, which is amazing! In the game options, under Starting Conditions, there is a checkbox for Cooperation Mode, which is what I thought this was for, but I was sadly mistaken. It's nice to know how to to this.

BTW, what is Cooperation Mode?

Two people playing as the same "player team" has been possible for years, just not been supported by evil Springiees and/or ZKL. Iirc some people have been complaining about this lack of integration. It's kinda sad that some newer players don't know about this old feature.

You can replace your whole dic definition with:

typing so long lists by hand is NEVER the right way.

Does springie too?

This will probably help you a lot. You could do:

local units = {}
for id,data in pairs(UnitDefs) do
units[string.lower(data.humanname)] = data.name
end -- Reverse lookup

function widget:GotChatMsg(msg, player)
if string.find(string.lower(msg),"givee") ~= nil and player == Spring.GetMyPlayerID() then -- done on purpose so we don't trigger give.
local command = string.gmatch(msg, "%S+") -- Split string into pieces. "/givee 1 glaive 1" results in {"/givee","1","glaive","1"}
local unit = ""
for i=1,#command do
if string.find(command[i],"give") == nil and string.len(command[i]) > 3 then
unit = command[i]
break
end
end
if units[unit] == nil then
Spring.Echo("game_message:Invalid unit! Check spelling!")
end
local str
--reform command--
for i=1,#command do
if string.find(command[i],"givee") == nil then
str = str .. command[i]
else
str = str .. "give"
end
Spring.SendCommands(str)
str,command = nil
end

DrKran if you're rezzing a thread at least stay on topic.

OT: there is now a cheat menu that appears on the global command bar when you enable cheats (using !cheats or /cheat) that allows you to do everything else listed here. The commands still work but the internal unit names listed here do not.

"How to make a hologram landscape"

before launching the game find the mod option crater multiplyer and set it to 0
units will not damage the map but you can still modify it.

not sure if thats what you wanted
