Polish Godmode

[Neonity]

having to setup an entire infrastructure just so I can test a build is annoying, god mode should be spruced up and finished

little to no crafting times, if possible, infinite items, but this is almost just as good
little to no destruction/mining times, having to clear out trees is annoying
ability to clear everything, rocks are difficult to deal with in god mode as they cannot be shot because nothing can be equipped nor can they be removed like trees
ability to create veins of ore and oil, or even alien bases, for testing builds this can be helpful
since the thing about god mode is that you are actually "god" and you have no character and can move extremely fast, this means that you cannot test modular power armor setups or weapons, I think that you should have the ability to create and remove an "avatar" that can equip weapons and armor

these are most of the competent suggestions I had, but I'm sure more can be done to make god mode more user friendly

little to no crafting times, if possible, infinite items, but this is almost just as good

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.manualcraftingspeedmodifier = 2

doubles the speed. Set it to 50 or something.

little to no destruction/mining times, having to clear out trees is annoying

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.manualminingspeedmodifier = 2

Same as above, change to a high number.

ability to clear everything, rocks are difficult to deal with in god mode as they cannot be shot because nothing can be equipped nor can they be removed like trees

A little bit trickier,

Code: Select all

/c for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentitiesfiltered{
        area={{game.player.position.x-32, game.player.position.y-32},
            {game.player.position.x+32, game.player.position.y+32}},
            name="stone-rock"})
do
    entity.destroy()
end

You can change "stone-rock" to trees and other stuff to remove it.

ability to create veins of ore and oil, or even alien bases, for testing builds this can be helpful

Code: Select all

/c game.createentity{name = "iron-ore", position = {5, 4}}

Probably better with a collision check

Code: Select all

if (game.canplaceentity{name = "iron-ore", position = {5, 4}}) then
     game.createentity{name = "iron-ore", position = {5, 4}}
  end

since the thing about god mode is that you are actually "god" and you have no character and can move extremely fast, this means that you cannot test modular power armor setups or weapons, I think that you should have the ability to create and remove an "avatar" that can equip weapons and armor

Seems like a good idea, but very complicated to implement, especially to test. However you can create a character and jump in and out of it (They have separate inventories.)

Code: Select all

/c game.character = nil

Change to God Mode

If you don't have a player entity in the game yet,

Code: Select all

/c game.player.character = game.createentity{name="player", position=game.findnoncollidingposition("player", game.player.position, 10, 1), force=game.player.force}

If you have a player entity in the game, highlight it with your mouse and use:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.character = game.player.selected

And while these aren't the answers you're looking for, with knowledge of this, it could be simple to make a "GodMode" mod with buttons in the GUI to provide the scripts automatically.

Well, the test-mode-mod seems to be orphaned, but I think, that would be the right place...

[DerivePi]

What about Lithuanian, Romanian or even Czech?

Come on, is your type of humor that flat?

What's the matter ssilk, Hungary for more?

If you have a player entity in the game, highlight it with your mouse and use:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.character = game.player.selected

the other ones delete your character, and create a character respectively but what does this one do?
also the code to re enter god mode is

Code: Select all

/c game.player.character = nil

[PiggyWhiskey]

Code: Select all

/c game.player.character = nil

That exits the player (leaving the player in the world with it's inventory) and allows you to be "god"

Use the other one to "undo" that. i.e. take over the player left in the world.

Test them out

ah okay! yeah this is actually pretty interesting, and if I had advanced knowledge of Lua, I'd most definitely make my own mod for this stuff, thanks for the commands btw

[PiggyWhiskey]

Not a problem. I found everything on the wiki. If you're not sure of what you're looking for it can be tricky to navigate, but googling usually takes you to the right location

Yes. Today I would like Swedes... (This one is so flat, even Netherlands is not going below)
