ConsoleDeck — In-Game Cheat Menu Built From Your Own Code

Documentation: https://wiki.teufel-engineering.com/en/ConsoleDeck/documentation

ConsoleDeck brings no cheats of its own. It shows what your project can already do.

UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, meta = (ConsoleDeck = "Player|God Mode"))
void ToggleGodMode();

UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, meta = (ConsoleDeck = "World|Spawn Wave", ConsoleDeckArgs = "Count=10:1..64"))
void SpawnWave(int32 Count);

That is the integration. The functions are in the menu — on a gamepad, in a packaged build. There is no list to maintain.

Quick start

1. Enable the plugin.

2. Mark a UFUNCTION with meta=(ConsoleDeck="Section|Name"). In a Blueprint: the function's Metadata section, key ConsoleDeck.

3. Set your GameMode's HUD Class to ConsoleDeck HUD — or add two lines to the HUD you already have:

   void AMyHUD::DrawHUD()          { Super::DrawHUD();          UConsoleDeckStatics::DrawDeck(this, Canvas); }
   void AMyHUD::Tick(float Delta)  { Super::Tick(Delta);        UConsoleDeckStatics::TickDeckInput(this, PlayerOwner, Delta); }

4. Press F8, or View / Back on a pad.

Two things worth knowing before you ship

Metadata does not survive a cook. WITH_METADATA follows WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA. The editor bakes the catalog into DefaultGame.ini after every rebuild and the packaged build reads that — check the file in.

The Shipping lock is a lock on a door, not a safe. The menu is compiled into Shipping on purpose, and opens only after ConsoleDeck.Unlock <word>. The word sits in a packaged ini file. If your cheats must be unreachable in a public build, do not ship the plugin in that build.

Both are explained in full in Docs/DOCUMENTATION.md.

Demo

Content/ConsoleDeck/ConsoleDeck/Maps/L_ConsoleDeckDemo — open it, press Play, press F8.

Nine marked functions that really change something: god mode, fly speed, respawn, spawned targets, time of day, target spin, a marker with presets, and one that returns a string to the status line. They live on AConsoleDeckSampleCheats — an ordinary actor, one metadata key per function, nothing else. Delete that class in your own project, or narrow ScanPathFilters to your own code.

Tests

ConsoleDeck.* in the Automation window, or in a commandlet on a build server.
