Are Cheats Possible?

[metal_head]

Now I don't have idea even with a script how could this be done,so I'm asking if it's possible.
When you tap the "~" key,the game brings down a console like in half life and you can tupe cheats there,or not a cnosole,but a box with a "cheats" sign,and when you write for example noclip,the noclip function in the debug menu is called and the player can walk through the walls?

In short, yes. You could just write a script that makes the player take no damage, etc. I believe there's already a noclip option (for use in debug mode) so it would just be a matter of triggering that.
Making a console would be more difficult; I really wouldn't know how to approach that.

Well,actualy... I don't know how to script anything.Yes,I was thinking of triggering the noclip option in the menu and,yes..the console would be a hard one.I was thinking of something more like a message box,when you type ~ a message box appears,in the message box there will be a place for writing the codes and one for the message box to tell you if the code is right,for example you type god and the box says "You are now immortal" and trigger the god script,but if you type immortal,the box soys "Unrecognized Command" and triggers,nothing.I was thinking also putting a sound file,which will be played everytime you type a correct cheat,saying"OMG you cheater" or something(but that would be the easiest one,even I know how to do it).


I just hate it! I want to make it,I'm trying to learn simkin,know a lot of commands now,most of the scripts I can even read and understand what they do and how do they work,BUT I CAN'T WRITE MY OWN ONES ! That's terrible.I like Simkin and I know it's a matter of time till I learn it and be able to make my own scripts,but right now I need it and I can't do anything.

I feel your pain, that's the main thing that's holding back Terra Trooper. I'm thinking about putting juutis' AI into the Demo.

I'll put Juutis's AI in my game too (not in the demo) and I'll give him credit as a programmer.Maybe my mistake was that I started a big and serious game (I had big plans for it) but I realised that I'm not good as a programmer yet,and that's the main thing,holding back Metal Force too (btw I'll soon post some new pics from my game)
