Interact with Scripts from Console

Question

Is there any way to call a module or function from the console? For example a module that creates worker creeps, called from the console with my_module.add_creep?

Answer 1

For the given example, use require('my_module').add_creep(); The require function returns whatever is assigned to module.exports in that module.

@cho: require doesn't have to return a function. It rather returns a function because the module contains a function. If the module assigns as follow module.export = {test: 'test'}, follow snippet require('that_module') will return {test: 'test'} etc...

Note: Not sure if others have this issue, but sometimes the console isn't returning a result at all... In that case, try reloading the page. Just make sure the game isn't pauzed while executing commands...

Answer 2

I just figured this out today. But there is a nice way to access your methods from the console

Just import your methods to the Game object (in your script)

Game.creepManager = require('CreepManager');

you can now use the console by typing

Game.creepManager.yourFunctionHere();

Answer 3

Others have mentioned the use of require and assigning to Game, but you can also create new top level commands and objects by assigning to global.

Main loop:

global.rebuildMemory = () => console.log('Memory rebuilt.');
global.Commands = require('consoleCommands');

Then from the console:

rebuildMemory();
Commands.printRoomReport('W3N4');

Answer 4

I've managed to call the lodash module from the console by calling it like this require('lodash').pluck(characters, 'name'). Not sure if it works with user created modules.

Answer 5

The require function returns a function so you can call it direclty in the console like this:

require('harvester')(Game.creeps.harvester1);
