Cheat codes example

Maybe we want to add cheat codes to our game, either for ourselves to test features quickly, or for the players to have fun with. Processors are perfect for this, and you can probably already guess why.

[Processor]
public static string CheatCodeProcessor(string input)
{
    switch (input.ToLower())
    {
        case "cheese":
            return "money.add 5000";

        case "godmode":
            return "player.health.invincible True";

        case "noclip":
            return "player.movement.noclip True";

        // If input doesn't match any cheatcode, we cancel the input
        // to prevent other commands from being executed.
        default:
            return string.Empty;
    }
}

As you can see, we simply check if the input matches any of our cheat codes, and if it does, we replace the entire input string with an actual command.

Note

By default, Ghost Commands are only available inside the editor and inside a Development Build. If you want your players to access commands in a final build, navigate to project settings and turn off the Development Only toggle. You might also wanna turn off suggestions. Read more in the settings section, and custom styles section.
