addons/@quentincaffeino/*
,addons/quentincaffeino/*
. - Open
Project > Project Settings > Plugins
, search forquentincaffeino-console
and check the Enable checkbox. - You can activate the console with CTRL + ` while running your game (can be changed, see
quentincaffeino_console_toggle
action).
Via GIT:
- Clone this project or download latest release.
- Copy
./addons/@quentincaffeino
and./addons/quentincaffeino
into your projectsaddons
folder.
So you will have this structure:
res://
βββ addons
βΒ Β βββ @quentincaffeino
βΒ Β βββ quentincaffeino
βΒ Β βββ ...
- Open
Project > Project Settings > Plugins
, search forquentincaffeino-console
and check the Enable checkbox. - You can activate the console with CTRL + ` while running your game (can be changed, see
quentincaffeino_console_toggle
action).
Example usage:
Usage we will get:
$ sayHello "Adam Smith"
Hello Adam Smith!
GDScript
# Function that will be called by our command
func print_hello(name = ''):
Console.write_line('Hello ' + name + '!')
func _ready():
# Registering command
# 1. argument is command name
# 2. arg. is target (target could be a funcref)
# 3. arg. is target name (name is not required if it is the same as first arg or target is a funcref)
Console.add_command('sayHello', self, 'print_hello')\
.set_description('Prints "Hello %name%!"')\
.add_argument('name', TYPE_STRING)\
.register()
C#
// Function that will be called by our command
public string PrintHello(string name = null) {
GD.Print("Hello " + name + "!");
return "test";
}
public override void _Ready()
{
// Registering command
// 1. argument is command name
// 2. arg. is target (target could be a funcref)
// 3. arg. is target name (name is not required if it is the same as first arg or target is a funcref)
(((GetNode("/root/Console").Call("add_command", "sayHello", this, "PrintHello") as Godot.Object)
.Call("set_description", "prints \"hello %name%!\"") as Godot.Object)
.Call("add_argument", "name", Variant.Type.String) as Godot.Object)
.Call("register");
}
C# with wrapper (Note this is WIP and some methods may be missing)
- Instead of enabling the
Console
checkbox from the addon tab you will want to enableCSharpConsole
via the plugin checkbox - See the example below for how to use once plugin is enabled
Example:
public override void _Ready()
{
_wrapper = GetTree().Root.GetNode<Console>("CSharpConsole");
_wrapper.AddCommand("sayHello", this, nameof(PrintHello))
.SetDescription("prints \"hello %name%!\"")
.AddArgument("name", Variant.Type.String)
.Register();
}
public void PrintHello(string name = null) {
GD.Print($"Hello {name}!");
}
