I attempted to unlock Wheeler, after typing in the second command it froze so I had to close the game. I
lost a little progress, which I quickly redid. Wheeler did unlock, though.

When I use the delete under mouse command, it doesn't work unless I use only on local. It used to work
before. I used ctrl to use in remote, but it doesn't delete anything. If I delete in Local, it doesn't stick on my
own server. Any suggestions?

How can I change the World Settings? I want to change the frequency of Crocodogs in DS/SW.

A Fandom user · 4/24/2021

You dont even need mods for that

Meljijiji · 4/25/2021

I didn't ask for a mod. I ask for a piece of code to change the frequency on the console.
I can change the frequency of Crocodogs during the World Generation, but it is buggy.

Does anyone know why I can't use GetClock() function inside consolecommands.lua?
I wrote my own god mode function and while GetPlayer() and GetWorld() works perfectly fine, GetClock() is
crashing my game while during launching the game.

function gm()
GetWorld().minimap.MiniMap:ShowArea(0,0,0,10000)
GetPlayer().components.builder.freebuildmode = true
GetPlayer().components.builder.inst:PushEvent("unlockrecipe")
if c_counttreasures() then
c_givetreasuremaps()
GetPlayer().components.inventory:DropEverything(false,true)
end
c_speed(15)
c_sethunger(1)
c_setsanity(1)
c_sethealth(1)
c_light(1,1,1)
c_godmode()
end

A Fandom user · 1/23/2021

I was editing tabs and mistakenly changed the order of two lines, but its just a detail

if c_counttreasures() then

GetPlayer().components.inventory:DropEverything(false,true)
c_givetreasuremaps()
end

Is there a command to extinguish fires?

I recently made a mistake of ignoring possible thunder

Meljijiji · 2/5/2021

In DS, you can use an Ice Staff. In DST, you can either use an Ice Staff or make Water Balloons
and throw them on to the fire.

Bamaxdaws · 2/5/2021

Oh right i could give myself an ice staff, thank you.
