The Powder Toy

kungfushark

Is there a way that I can run a console command at the start of a simulation?

Thanks,

yes, create a file called autorun.lua (make sure it is autorun.lua and not autorun.lua.txt or something).

In that put any lua commands or scripts that you want.

I also recommend that you look at https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=19400 , it is a script manager which keeps track of and loads scripts for you on startup. And you can download new ones from there too.

Thanks, but is there are way to use the powder toy console (like !set) at the start of a simulation?

If you mean at start of every save, maybe with a mod. (only you will see that).

There is a function called sim.getSaveID() that returns the save ID. There isn't really a way to hook loading or completely tell when a save is loaded though. But you could probably register a step function to run some commands when sim.getSaveID() is what you want it to be.

Also you can't use !set inside of scripts, that is the old legacy console and has almost no features.

Maybe there is a different way to approach this. I have a bomb that requires deut life to be 999999. I want to publish this bomb. When I publish it, and then enter the simulation, the deut life is not 999999. Maybe there is a different way to acomplish this.

65536 is the max for life. Thats why. Also deut exploding at that high is already laggy, why would you want it higher?

As my question: Is there any lua function to execute old console commands? Can lua massively change props. (not only to one

article or one by one?

Isn't better layered deut with life 65535, or layered over a EHOLE wall, to make more than 2000 layers.

Ok, thanks, I've got a solution. Thanks very much for your help.

Goodbye,

Yes, Lua can massively change properties - there are selections for particles via either type, X/Y, X/Y and type, ID, etcetera.

I feel like making a quick selector engine..
