When I started learning some scripting, I would be absolutelly lost without this. It's amazing to just see things in real time.

@Aisede often in Windows, files extentions are hidden, so you must rename the "exec.lua" from File Explorer (in Win 11). Because right now is "exec.lua.txt" that's why it cannot find the file

Thank you, this mod is invaluable for mod-making.

considering I was using this to mod last week the mod itself works fine

Can this mod still work now?
I tried the steps in the introduction and confirmed that my F9 is bound to "View camera bookmark 1", but I created a game and pressed F9, but nothing happened.

This is incredibly useful, thanks man!

I'm not sure but if a function starts with dev it usually means it's only usable in the dev version of the game we don't have access to

Im trying to use this to change the UI scale to a value lower than 1. "DevSetUiScale(0.9)".
Is it possible to call this function with this mod?

Thanks for the mod, it's extremely useful.

Is there a way to progress the Prophecy of Sotek with this? Stuck on the first stage after completing everything

Hey man - this is excellent for someone starting out like me - so I can't thank you enough.

Sorry to be demanding - have you at all tried to use the cm:add_unit_to_province_mercenary_pool function ?

I'm trying to mess around with it for Valkia, and for example I can add units to the province mercenary pool for units already in there by using add_units_to_province_mercenary_pool_by_region - but I've not been able to add any units to the pool that weren't already there.

All the above testing would have been much more painful without this mod, so thankyou very much. And also sorry for asking in this thread - probably not the right forum for this kind of question.

there is a lua console mod, you can try that as a workaround

I am attempting to force start a certain event which doesnt start for some reason, already reviced the script from the mod creator but need to use lua to activate it. which dosent work for me atm

I am attempting to use lua but it appears not to find it, I have also attempted to make a folder and put the file in it but at first it said premission denied and now it cant find the exact same folder it did about 10 min ago

For information in case you already have a camera view saved to "View camera bookmark 1" and want to delete it, you have to exit the game and delete the file located here :
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer3\camera bookmarks

@AndyPandy sure bud. Try this script for your items. Just copy and paste into exec.lua

local faction = cm:get_local_faction_name()
local ancillarya = "wh_main_anc_armour_armour_of_destiny"
local ancillaryb = "wh_main_anc_talisman_talisman_of_preservation"
local ancillaryc = "wh3_main_anc_weapon_slaaneshs_blade"
local ancillaryd = "wh3_main_anc_caravan_bejewelled_dagger"
cm:add_ancillary_to_faction(cm:get_faction(faction), ancillarya, false)
cm:add_ancillary_to_faction(cm:get_faction(faction), ancillaryb, false)
cm:add_ancillary_to_faction(cm:get_faction(faction), ancillaryc, false)
cm:add_ancillary_to_faction(cm:get_faction(faction), ancillaryd, false)

This will add these ancillaries to your item pool and not directly to a character. You can change which items are added to the pool by changing the item variable strings to the items listed in the ancillaries tables.

@Alsede This mod won't be much use to you unless you're writing scripts yourself to interact with the game. The purpose of this mod is to allow mod developers to test how their scripts interact with the game without having to change one thing and reload the whole game. If you don't know anything at all about scripting, and I only know a minimum amount myself, I suggest you look up guides on lua scripting for total war games before trying to make use of this mod.

@prop joe Thank you for porting this excellent mod over to Warhammer 3. I've used this mod so much in Warhammer 2 for figuring out how little things work (and a little cheating :p ). I still have a lot to learn about scripts, but this makes life so much easier without having to reload the game.

I got an error. "LOADFILE: cannot open exec.lua: No such file or directory" . Does anybody know how to resolve this? I've never used lua before

no

Is it possible to take over the AI faction and control (similar to a hot seat)?

Anyone know how to add items and ancilliaries? I am trying to create a script that adds to the selected Lord the Armor of Destiny (wh_main_anc_armour_armour_of_destiny), Talisman of Preservation (wh_main_anc_talisman_talisman_of_preservation), Slaanesh's Blade (wh3_main_anc_weapon_slaaneshs_blade), Bejewlled Dagger (wh3_main_anc_caravan_bejewelled_dagger) and The Great Celestial Banner (wh3_main_anc_magic_standard_the_great_celestial_banner).

Also looking at adding traits as well such as Skarbrand's Defeat Trait (wh3_main_trait_defeated_skarbrand)

Quick feedback loops are the best! Thank you for this

@Melagius
no, avoiding restarting the game is the whole premise of the mod

@Lord Tzeentch
check a link in the console commands workshop page

Sounds great!
I'll test it later. Do you need to restart the game when changes in the external script are made?

Hi, thanks for the mod, by any chance
Do you have the list of ancillaries that can be use?
