I was attempting to try some very basic scripting, namely making shortcuts for some of those RSI-inducing in-game commands. I was thinking this should work along the lines of defining a new command named "mo" and having that execute the actual bb.moveobjects command, for example.But now I'm already stuck because all the examples I looked at are using commands that I can find in the game scripts (like set_clock_speed in clock.pyo.py), however that moveobjects one I can not find. =/ Same problem with the unlocking stuff ones. Am I making this too complicated? Is there some other way of defining aliases? The way I understood it, one would have to do that when defining the command in Python, but maybe I'm misunderstanding .. Also, does the "plunking loose files in /unpackedmod" thing still work?

Actually, instead of having the file be under Mods, make sure the path is The Sims 4\Mods\maslow\Scripts\maslow.pySee if that works.

With this part I'm having a little issue:@sims4.commands.Command('h', command_type=sims4.commands.CommandType.Live)def headline(enable:bool=None, _connection=None): if enable is not None: if enable: command = 'headlineeffects on' sims4.commands.client_cheat(command, _connection) else: command = 'headlineeffects off' sims4.commands.client_cheat(command, _connection) else: output("You need to turn this on or off with 't', 'true', 'on', '1', 'yes', 'y', 'enable' or 'f', 'false', 'off', '0', 'no', 'n', 'disable'")The actual commands are working as expected (like with "h 1" or "h off" or whatever), but when I only type "h" I don't get the expected output .. and I don't understand why not. (The reason I want that is to prevent myself from forgetting that this is not a toggle)?lastexception.txt is not complaining about me (as it did yesterday, about my untidy whitespaces).(I also have a feeling that the inner if is probably unnecessary as I can probably pass the bool directly somehow, I only don't want to change too many things at once)

Not all commands are defined in Python. You could define your own command and then call sims4.commands.client_cheat(...)

Oh *lightbulb* .. you mean that is how to tell the game "please do whatever you'd do if someone entered (...) in the cheat console"?Thanks, I'll try that =)

How/where would I find a particular console command in the game files?

@sims4.commands.Command('name1', 'name2', ...)

That was exactly what I tried =D but that did not work, the result was "invalid command" or "unable to" or something along those lines (in the console output) .. I didn't take a screenshot of the exact wording, but I can try again and post one.

My code was

@sims4.commands.Command('t', 'd', 'debug', command_type=sims4.commands.CommandType.Live)
def testing(enable:bool=None, _connection=None):
	output = sims4.commands.CheatOutput(_connection)
	if enable is not None:
		if enable:
			command = 'testingcheats on'
			sims4.commands.client_cheat(command, _connection)
		else:
			command = 'testingcheats off'	
			sims4.commands.client_cheat(command, _connection)
	else:
		output("You need to turn this on or off with 't', 'true', 'on', '1', 'yes', 'y', 'enable' or 'f', 'false', 'off', '0', 'no', 'n', 'disable'")

I was wondering whether the aliases perhaps need to be in an array or something?

So these are the replies I get:

http://www.modyourpanties.com/hosting/63140_141221135535output.jpg

What I entered was, in order:

testingcheats on // to verify this is actually the correct command
testingcheats off // to verify this is actually the correct command
t // works as expected: outputs the else option, telling me about explicit en/disabling
t 1 // tries to pass the correct command apparently, but .. fails?
t on // tries to pass the correct command apparently, but .. fails?

same with t true, t 0 etc .. d and debug yield no resonse at all.

Weird becuase this is the exact same code as with headlineeffects, and it is working when I only say

@sims4.commands.Command('t', command_type=sims4.commands.CommandType.Live)

in the first line .. so the problem is the aliases, I take it.

I don't have the code nor the game itself with me right now, and I won't until January, so I can't try this out myself. There are a few shipped commands that use aliases... I would try finding some of those and see if/how they work.

Also, try to prepend a | to the command when entering it in the cheat window and see if that works.

Okay. Thank you anyway! (Particularly as this sounds like you're not even actually working right now .. your help is much appreciated! =)

Hah, I got the aliases to work!

I dunno what made the difference -- that I changed the type to Automation or that I prepended the vertical bar thing to the string I'm passing on, but it's now doing what I wanted.

@sims4.commands.Command('t', 'd', 'debug', command_type=sims4.commands.CommandType.Automation)
def pb_testing(enable:bool=None, _connection=None):
	output = sims4.commands.CheatOutput(_connection)
	if enable is not None:
		if enable:
			command = '|testingcheats on'
			sims4.commands.client_cheat(command, _connection)
		else:
			command = '|testingcheats off'
			sims4.commands.client_cheat(command, _connection)
	else:
		output("You need to turn this on or off with 't', 'true', 'on', '1', 'yes', 'y', 'enable' or 'f', 'false', 'off', '0', 'no', 'n', 'disable'")

I guess it might have something to do with testingcheats being defined in Python while headlineeffects is not .. ?

That's correct.
