Rejected Add a console command (like ttt_order_equipment) to buy point shop weapons/items from the console

[koanga]

I haven't been able to find any command for this, so if it does already exist then ignore this (and please post the command, too).

Add something like ahg_pointshop_buyitem <item_id> as a console command to make it easy to bind buying point shop items, as in:

ahg_pointshop_buyitem weapon_ttt_colt_m1911 // buys a colt from the shop

or

ahg_pointshop_buyitem traitor // buys a traitor round from the shop

Spoiler: Implementation stuff

As far as I can tell the point shop identifies items via their generated ITEM.ID (looks like the source file name, lower-cased, and with the .lua file extension removed), not their ITEM.Class property/field. So, the example above is probably wrong, but you get the idea. I guess there could be a mapping between ITEM.Class and ITEM.ID to make things more consistent with a command like ttt_order_equipment but it's probably not worth the effort.

It looks like it should be as easy as doing concommand.Add("ahg_pointshop_buyitem", self:PS_BuyItem) in the same code file where Player:PS_BuyItem(...) is defined, but honestly I know next to nothing about Lua in Garry's Mod. Looking at the docs there might need to be an overload of Player:PS_BuyItem(...) that takes a Player object as its first argument, but idk.

Bro I don't understand why people can just do 3 clicks to buy it themselves -1

I didn't think of that lmao

I guess you could restrict using it to pre-round or add a forced cooldown to match how long it normally takes to click through the menu. That's a lot more effort than this is worth, though.

Bro y’all don’t remember the AHK scripts that xpro made and it shows.

Rejected, would be too difficult to code it in a way that is 100% free of exploits.
