getCommandHandlers

[xXMADEXx]

Hello.

First of all I don't know if there's another method to this, because I haven't really looked into it very much, but I think MTA should make getCommandHandlers.

I think that MTA should make the function getCommandHandlers that returns a table of commands so that players could try to detect if a script has a backdoor or not. Maybe there should be an argument of the resource you want to get, but if it's not set then it will just return all commands. This way people could just run a basic script such as:

for i, v in pairs ( getCommandHandlers ( resourceRoot  ) ) do 
    outputChatBox ( "Command: ".. tostring ( i ).." | Callback: "..tostring ( v ) ) 
end 

and they would know if the script has an obvious backdoor, even if it's compiled.

The returned table should be something like the following:

{ 
    ['CommandName'] = { 
        resource = "The resource element where the command is located", 
        callback = "The function the command executes", 
        restricted = "restricted from addCommandHandler", 
        caseSensitive = "is the command case sensitive" 
    }, 
  
    -- example: 
    ['newcar'] = { 
        resource = getResourceFromName ( "core_commands" ), 
        callback = function ( ) end, 
        restricted = false, 
        caseSensitive = true 
    } 
}

local addCommandHandler_real = addCommandHandler 
  
function addCommandHandler(...) 
    local added = addCommandHandler_real(...) 
    if added then 
        local commandName = ... 
        outputChatBox("Added command: "..commandName) 
    end 
    return added 
end

local addCommandHandler_real = addCommandHandler 
  
function addCommandHandler(...) 
    local added = addCommandHandler_real(...) 
    if added then 
        local commandName = ... 
        outputChatBox("Added command: "..commandName) 
    end 
    return added 
end 

I'm a freaking idiot idk why i didn't think of just re-writing the function :C

It is not a rewrite. It is a wrapper function.

He obviously meant you can do most stuff with existing functions somehow, but its still better to have it built-in.

This is useless as a means of backdoor prevention. Command arguments and any other method of input can be used. Think konami code.
