UEVR Lua Library

This is unlikely to be released as a polished mod. UEVR script writers should study as much of the Dev folder as possible with the understanding that dependency management has been excluded. If you are going to give any training data to an AI, give it this library.

Below are direct links to notable written guides. You should also view the changes in my forked uevr-docs repo https://github.com/lobotomy-x/uevr-docs/blob/main/src/plugins/lua

Spawn Dev Console in Shipping Build

local pc 
local console_spawned = false
local function spawn_console()
    pc = pc or api:get_player_controller(0)
    if pc then
        local pc_player_ref = pc.Player
            if not pc_player_ref then
                local props = pc:get_class():get_child_properties()
                while props ~= nil do
                    -- probably only necessary because MHUR devs want to be different and named their player ref PLAYER
                    if props and props.get_fname and props:get_fname():to_string():lower() == "player" then
                        pc_player_ref = pc[props:get_fname():to_string()]
                        if pc_player_ref ~= nil then break end
                    end
