My question is:

Tutorial to open the game console:

First thing you need to set the game up so you can use console

. Step 1 go to the game
. Step 2 right click on the game select game properties
. Step 3 click on launch options
. Step 4 type this exactly as i do -dev and then hit enter



and thats it now when you start a match thats not online hit ctrl shift and ` you can also use ctrl-shift and ` or ¬ and for some ctrl-shift and ' or @



ok now you can use console here are a few commands


1.make the popcap larger] Player_SetPopCapOverride(Game_GetLocalPlayer(), 1000)

2.change resources] Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Fuel, 9999)

3.change resources] Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Manpower, 9999)

4.change resources] Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Munition, 9999)

5.reveal the map] FOW_RevealAll

6.take good screen shots]taskbar_hide

7. to make taskbar appear]taskbar_show


In order for this to work you need to type it in exactly like i did use uppercase letter where there's uppercase letters.



Thank you in advance

Ctrl+Shift+~ for normal console, Alt+Shift+~ for SCAR console. Maybe your keyboard has a different key for tilde?

Thanks a lot for your help Eliwood. And yes on my keyborad works with the (ñ) is a spanish keyboard.

Another quiestion,
I'm trying to add an custom upgrade to the current or "local" player.


Player_CompleteUpgrade(Game_GetLocalPlayer(), BP_GetUpgradeBlueprint("luftwaffe_doctrine"))

but i cannot find the way that BP_GetAbilityBlueprint function returns the custom upgrade, it works with the vanilla ones but not with the custom

You need to prepend the blueprint name with "yourModId:".

Sorry to bother again, I need to find a way to get the player who is "clicking" a button or the "localPlayer", i was using Game_GetLocalPlayer() function but as u said on another forum when you use this one on MP it gerenate a SYNC Error.

My idea is to make a Doctrine tree like COH 1 , but for that i need to know which race is using the player and building the specific UI for each race.

Everything you need to know can be found in the official wiki: http://modding.companyofheroes.com/scripting-ui

Also, I would recommend checking out my UI Control API for reducing development time on UI stuff: https://github.com/eliw00d/UIControlAPI

I have not updated it in a year but could if needed.

Thanks eliw00d for the reply!

Another quick question, there is anyway to get properties of a blueprint?

I get the upgrade blueprint from BP_GetUpgradeBlueprint("1264682de12e41ac83a6207c8bda5bc7vt_armoured_guard") but i need to get the screen_name property. I find a way to getting it with the LocStrID, but if i make it like that i'll have to hard code all labels.

That is the only way.

On a related note, I released a new version of UI Control API: https://github.com/eliw00d/UIControlAPI/releases/tag/2.0.0

Another question if u don't mind , there is any way to add a tooltip to a custom button, vanilla buttons shows a tooltip when u mouseover them. Can u add this functionality to custom icons?

No, sadly.

=/ Its a shame, well i'll have to find a work around
Thanks eliw00d =D

Can I use console commands to change the keybindings?
