In-game Lua console

[flarn2006]

I would love to be able to test Lua commands by opening a console and typing them in, rather than having to edit a script and restart the game. It could work like any other in-game console. Would anyone be able to do this/know of any such mod that already exists that I'm unaware of?

Thanks in advance.

Simply not possible at this time with our limited tools and the fact that Volition ripped the console out before release.

How do you know there was one? And what benefit would removing it give them? If they're worried about confusing people who don't know anything about Lua, they could have simply added the toggle for it to display.ini. (There is already one non-display-related item in there.)

Do you know of any way I can get it to run some Lua code every frame? That way I could do something like this.

Because I know quite a few of the devs at Volition. I can't say more than that.

The closest thing you'll find to that is Sandbox+ that creates threads to monitor certain keyboard input, but that is restricted to game keys only. You are welcome to try and adapt that to this purpose if you are able.
