Toolshed Commands

General Information

Toolshed commands are invoked as part of their own custom query language. Toolshed allows you to search for certain groups of entities and then apply operations to them.

[!IMPORTANT] When you want to use Toolshed, always make sure to start your command by with > .

You’ll get a permission denied message if you don’t do this. Even with the > prepended, you may not have access to some commands. That’s normal.

Selecting entities

You can iterate over certain (groups of) entities with the following commands:

self

• This selects the entity you’re controlling, primarily useful for modifying your aGhost
• For example, you can make yourself able to see health bars using > self comp:ensure ShowHealthBars

marked

• You can store an entity to be selected using this command by right-clicking it and then selecting Admin > Mark entity

entities

[!WARNING] When using the entities command, always make sure you know what you are doing. Double-check your commands. Accidentally applying actions to a large amount of entities could easily end the round or crash the server.

• This allows you to query all entities known to the server.
• You should specify a filter for your query using…
  • with to search for entities that hold a certain Component.
    • For example, you can select all silicons using > entities with SiliconLawBound
  • prototyped to search for entities based on a certain prototype
    • For example, you can delete all puddles using > entities prototyped Puddle delete

ent

• Use > ent <ID> to select a specific entity based on its numeric ID.

Query Recipes

Reopen a specific job slot

> stations:get | jobs:job StationAi | jobs:set 1

• The job prototypes will autocomplete while typing, just replace StationAi if you want to open another job.
• You can also adjust the value using jobs:adjust n, where n can be a positive or negative value.
• When reopening Station AI specifically, you should download the old AI using an intellicard before executing this command. If a player joins while the old AI is still attached to the core, they will spawn as an invisible entity that is unable to move.

List all Silicons and their laws

> entities with SiliconLawBound tee { emplace { var $name ??; ent $value laws:get ?? } }

• the tee here is necessary to ignore the laws:get output and stop the console from being spammed.
• this is certainly not what Toolshed was made for, hence the nested tee and emplace and the debug prints. Don’t look at this as an example of a sane command.
