Can't modify commandToServer().

[SpeedBlade]

Guys, for some reason I can't modify commandToServer(). I could do it yesterday, but today nothing can change it.

I removed my add-ons folder from Blockland and restarted but I still can't change it.
I even entered this in the console and nothing happened to it:

function commandToServer(){}

Maybe Badspot made it unmmodable for us?

This is an engine function. You cannot overwrite it.

[Ipquarx]

No, you couldn't do it yesterday because it's not possible. Why on EARTH would you want to modify this function? It's literally imperative that it's not changed in order for the game to function at all.

[Crøwn]

What use could you have from killing commandToServer?

[SpeedBlade]

Oh I guess I never did modify it. I carelessly thought it worked because I was modifying it to clear old data I had saved from the server so that I didn't have to script a search function, and it looked like it worked at a glance. :s

I had it in a package, so I wasn't sure if it was my package or if the function simply was not modifiable for me. Attempting to rewrite it to doing nothing told me whether if it's that I couldn't modify the function.

But if it was modifiable, and if you just put in parent::commandToServer() and maybe even an echo(), the game will literally not work at all.

Or maybe I was exaggerating a little to make look dumb.

Either way if you try to package it, it will pretend that the function you packaged isn't there. I will even warn you when you exec it that it fails to overwrite or something like that.

Why are you trying to mod it?

[RarwMuffinz]

As shown above, it is impossible to overwrite the engine function CommandToServer. Unlike functions like GameConnection::OnConnect, you dont get an error when you try to overwrite commandtoserver

[Advanced Bot]

If it doesn't overwrite it, it's not you, it is just not allowing you to do it.

It's not that you aren't "allowed" to change it. The name "commandToServer" is assigned to a function exposed from the engine. It doesn't technically exist on the TorqueScript side. Functions exposed from the engine take priority over normal functions however, so if you do define it, it'll find the engine function first.

So any cpp functions defined using ConsoleFunction() cannot be overwritten?

True. Also, there's a big list of functions badspot blocked us from overwriting because he didn't want idiots to abuse them.

Why is willCauseChainKill disabled? It seems useful for game modes, not abusable.

Wait, what?

Valcle, where did you get this list?
