Lua Tip: Refreshing Perks / Character Deck Changes
Normally, after changing your character's perks, you need to switch operatives, or save and reload the game before all perk changes are effective.
To refresh perks instantly without having to reload the game, run the below Lua command with your active operative that has the modified perks/character deck.
This is especially useful when you're making many changes or experimenting with perks.
lua('AddItem("Items.9223372285441124841", 1)')This item is the multidrone gadget and it's special because it is one of the few items with the "Perk"-type. When added, the game will immediately refresh all perks, items and atoms associated with the perks.
Important note: Every time you run this command, the game will add one more multidrone perk to your character.
There is no harm in having the perk, but to remove extra copies of the perk, go to the Perks section of your operative (Operative > NPC Data > Perks) and set the multidrone entry to 0 (Empty) to remove it, then save changes.
Toggling Uniformed Access
Normally, you can only toggle Uniformed Access outside of a restricted zone. The following Lua script allows you to do so even if you're inside a restricted zone, allowing you to duck behind a pillar and switch disguises on-the-fly. I recommend assigning this one a hotkey so that you can activate it without leaving the game.
Toggle Uniformed Access while in restricted zones:
lua([[
local equipUniform = 1
if HasAccessUniformEquipped(GetLocalPlayerEntityId()) == 1 then
equipUniform = 0
end
EquipAccessUniform(GetLocalPlayerEntityId(), equipUniform)
]])
Lua Showcase: Adding ETO / Tech Points
Add some crypto or tech points with the following Lua commands.
Add 1k ETO:
lua([[
TriggerRuleSmithRule('589221860', '', GetLocalPlayerEntityId())
]])Add 20k ETO:
lua([[
for i=1,20 do
TriggerRuleSmithRule('589221860', '', GetLocalPlayerEntityId())
end
]])
Add 10 tech points:
lua([[
TriggerRuleSmithRule('189922678', '', GetLocalPlayerEntityId())
]])Lua Showcase: Trying on Clothing
The Appearance section of the editor allows you to change an inactive operative's clothing, and you can preview your changes in the Team menu right away.
But what if you want to try on pieces of clothing on your current operative, without having to switch back-and-forth between operatives?
Use the EquipWolfskinItemOnEntity Lua command to try on clothing on your current active operative. (All clothing items are wolfskin items)
Lua command:
lua([[
local wolfskinItemToEquip = "WolfskinItemDB.9223372174236484278"
EquipWolfskinItemOnEntity(wolfskinItemToEquip, wolfskinItemToEquip, GetLocalPlayerEntityId(), 0)
]])How to use:
- Under the Lua section of the editor, enable thread-safe mode, then open the Lua console.
- Go to the list of all clothing wolfskin items and copy the dec (decimal) ID of your desired clothing item.
- Copy and paste the above Lua command into the Lua console, replacing the ID number with your desired ID.
- Click Execute, then return to the game to see your newly equipped clothing item.
Extra: Here is the list of outfit IDs.
Lua Misc Snippets
Spawn Wrench's Drone, Sergei, at the reticle location:
lua([[
local loc = GetReticleHitLocation()
local archetypeToSpawn = "{e082946e-343d-40e6-ac9a-f3e17c31318e}"
if spawnedEnt ~= nil then RemoveEntity(spawnedEnt) end
spawnedEnt = SpawnEntityFromArchetype(archetypeToSpawn, loc[1], loc[2], loc[3], 0, 0, 0)
]])
