A CMD?

[Blazemann]

Has anyone made a usable and programmable Command Prompt type interface that is mostly internally contained yet can transfer data to other objects and recieve them through variables?

The phun computer would count as this i imagine.

[Blazemann]

No. It is not programmable(as far as new commands), and it is not self-contained at all.

I was working on the command system for a why in the PCP collab but it got TOO complicated so I stopped working on it. The system was so you could make/edit variables.

e.g.

type into command interface: scene.my.newvariable = 0


how ever i could only get it to work as a calculator and floppy reader at the best so I didn't upload it because it was already on the computer.

What about a most basic prompt:

One that does no more than assign a variable to a user input string:

User types, "open" then presses Enter, and it is sent to a scene.my variable. All being displayed in a box of course, with no extras.

I'm still figuring out a way to make my laser computer programmable without too many lines of thyme. You need to understand how the very basic components of a computer work to come up to this stage.

[Blazemann]

I do. In fact, if you wish to help me make a full blown directory based command prompt, I posted in the collab forum. Mainly I need to know everything that people want in the prompt. It definately isn't light on thyme though...

[Conundrumer]

I don't understand. You're doing a lot of scripting to make a very basic thing. It's like making a dune buggy out of parts from a Honda car. Is there any way to use a small enough amount of scripting such that it wouldn't defeat the purpose of a console?

[Blazemann]

Yes. The main code is less than ten lines. With mainly variables after that.

just edit the config.cfg file!
