Lethal TerminalExtender

A modding utility for Lethal Company that allows mods to add their own custom commands to the ship terminal.

Some Notes

• Mod is entirely client side and does not attempt to handle any networking logic, this should be handled by your mod instead.
• A custom interaction mode can be enabled that will temporarily disable the default terminal commands.

Todo

• [ ] Need to consolidate harmony patches into a single class.
• [ ] Add an event/callback for when user begins/ends interaction with terminal.

Getting Started

Download the current built .dll file in the releases and include it as a refrence in your local mod project. When packaging your mode, be sure to either include it (local play) or include it as a dependency (mod manager).

Once included in your project, inside your mod you can run the following to add a custom command.

TerminalExtenderUtils.addQuickCommand("helloworld", "Hello World!", true, (Terminal term, TerminalNode node) =>
{
    // a callback that is called when the command is ran
});

If you need/want to define your own keyword, node, and compatible nouns, you can add a command this way as well.

TerminalNode nodeObject = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<TerminalNode>();
nodeObject.clearPreviousText = true;
nodeObject.terminalEvent = "helloWorldEvent";
nodeObject.displayText = "Hello world!";

TerminalKeyword keywordObject = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<TerminalKeyword>();
keywordObject.word = "helloworld";
keywordObject.specialKeywordResult = nodeObject;

Action<Terminal, TerminalNode> callbackAction = (term, node) =>
{
    // run some function here
    //
    //

    // or if you want to take over the terminal completely for custom applications
    TerminalExtenderUtils.setOnSubmit((string command) =>
    {
        // command will be the next raw text command that is submitted
        // you can call various helper methods such as

        // toggle terminal input state
        TerminalExtenderUtils.setInputState(true);

        // clear terminal screen
        TerminalExtenderUtils.cleanTerminalScreen();

        // write to terminal
        TerminalExtenderUtils.writeToTerminal("Hello again, you typed in: " + command + "\n");

        // play audio
        TerminalExtenderUtils.playAudioClip(0);

        // instead of writing, you can send a node
        TerminalExtenderUtils.displayNodeOnTerminal(nodeObject);

        // we are done with custom input, handle the terminal over to the game
        TerminalExtenderUtils.releaseOnSubmit();

        // in a real world use case, you would not run all of these at once.
        // they are just here to display what can be done
    });
};

TerminalExtenderUtils.addCustomCommand(new TerminalCustomCommand()
{
    keyword = keywordObject,
    node = nodeObject,
    callback = callbackAction
});
