The correct command for long reach is?

[brunzenstein]

/c local reach = 10000
game.player.force.character_build_distance_bonus = reach
game.player.force.character_reach_distance_bonus = reach

This command (as listed on the console Lua site) wont work - can anyone give me a helping hand?

These commands still work for long reach. You can see the difference if you zoom out, and try to delete an item at a far corner of the screen. It works.

The change is they don't work in Remote View, because it only does bot requests, not real "reach". I don't know if there's any way to get the old style of map view back that lets you use reach.

They don't work - thankfully Posila helped me out with the correct Lua commands:

/c local reach = 10000
game.player.force.character_build_distance_bonus = reach
game.player.force.character_reach_distance_bonus = reach
game.player.force.character_resource_reach_distance_bonus = reach
game.player.force.character_item_drop_distance_bonus = reach

I mean it's obvious from your answer that it worked for build & reach distance, but not resource-reach and item-drop, and this is miscommunication. I will add the 2 new ones to the Wiki.

Thanks for your swift reaction - Chapeau!

Hi morsk

Could you help me with another one:
How to clear console history?

player.clear_console()

dosesn work
Thanks in advance - Servus from Vienna

/clear will clear the console history displayed on the screen. The lua for it is /c game.player.clear_console() but there's no need to type it when /clear works.

If you want to clear the command history you see by pressing Up and Down in the chat box, I don't know any way to do this except editing player-data.json in your user data directory. Maybe there is another way.
