Summary:

I'm sure alot of you play games. Almost all of these games have consoles build in:

I've built exactly a console like it for your GM games. It auto-suggests commands and it's very easy to add commands.

How do I add commands?
In obj_console, in the create event there's a variable called consoleCommands and a script called initCommands(). For example you can have the following:

consoleCommands = "
Put the command here|<Add a 'pipe' and put some information here if you want,
End with a comma,
exit|Shuts down the game,
restart|Restarts the game,
givememoney|\#";

commandCount = initCommands(consoleCommands);

The script initCommands creates a array with your commands called cmd. commandCount tells you how big that array is

Then there's a script runCommand. Open this and add your stuff

Any questions? Just ask 'm!

Is there a way to do this with admin commands and permissions in a multiplayer game to have it send data for the command and check it against an admin list???
Wouldnt know Might try in a few days though looks epic!!!

Sure, you could send the commands to the server and let the server keep hold of some sort of permission level

It´s very neat.

I do have a few suggestions since I´m really keen on user friendly stuf

• Add a arrow down button (actives when no suggestions are shown) which makes you see ALL variables which you can edit. Really really helpes.
• When an option is selected I didn't seem to be able to activate it (first I did change the Home button to the Enter button since I don't have a Home button, I use a laptop!)
• If you really can´t select an option (only retype it) make it so when you press the activate button the line that you selected is the new text_string
• I didn't look into it enough yet but it was hard for me to change the value, meaning it wasn't user friendly enough on that part xD (for example I typed the string sethealth #10 and nothing happened also with sethealth 10 nothing)

Ps: are you planning to work on this? If so I'll keep track
