Just a simple /command to execute scripts in your add-ons folder.
To execute the Gun weapon for example, type /exec weapon_gun, and it will automatically execute the client.cs and or server.cs in that zip file.

What does executing scripts from your server essentially do?

tommybricksetti · November 22, 2014, 03:24:50 PM

It's for scripters. It just reloads the script so your game is up to date.

Mr.No�ody · November 22, 2014, 03:27:03 PM

Oh I get it, that is useful.

Its good for testing edits to scripts/addons.
Now I wont have to restart the server every 10 seconds.

Edit: Might want to add a description of it's practical uses in the OP for people who don't know what this is.

I will have to try this out. I always run into errors using console

Code: [Select]

exec("Add-ons/Addon_Name/file.cs");

Forcing me to basically

Anytime i make a simple script edit. Not so good on the video card

This is quite useful. Does it also deactivate packages created by the scripts?

I'm pretty sure things like this have been made before and failbinned because of the problems that loading add-ons mid-game cause

No, this is for loading add-ons, not unloading them

Would be cool if we had something for that too.
Like so we could register package_names to deactivate when we want to 'unload'/reload add-ons.

The most you can do is deactivate package and toggle any prefs coded in
You can't unload shapes/sounds, you can't unexec scripts, you used to be able to delete datablocks, but you can't do that anymore
Torque simply isn't made to unload (or load, for that matter) add-ons mid-game

Is it possible to have it tell you to check the console if the script has errors?

Hint for OP: compile("path/to/file.cs"); will return false if the file contains errors/was not found

Code: [Select]
exec("Add-ons/Addon_Name/file.cs");

discoverFile("Add-Ons/AddOn_Name.zip"); or setModPaths(getModPaths());
before using exec with changed zip files

ofc i'm guessing this mod does one of those so w/e
