I'm trying to have my mod accept console commands with arguments. Here's what I'm using:

commands.add_command("setTickRate","Sets how often the mod should scan for things. (default: 20)",
  function(list)
    global.tickRate = list[1]
	game.player.print(global.tickRate)
  end
)

The command is entered like:

Code: Select all

/setTickRate 50

However global.tickRate is set to nil. I thought the table named list would contain the arguments I passed, but it doesn't. How do I accept arguments with a console command?

Commands pass a table just like events.

The table contains the following parameters:

name - the command name
player_index - the player doing the command if any
parameter - the parameters provided as a string

In your case list.parameter would == "50".

That worked perfectly, thanks!

Code: Select all

commands.add_command("setRate","Sets some value to something",
  function(arguments)
    global.rateThing = tonumber(arguments.parameter)
    game.player.print(global.rateThing )
  end
)
