External Application & sending commands to the console?

by Tony Bilby · in Technical Issues · 07/23/2011 (4:15 pm) · 1 replies

*Forgive me if this is probably super easy and i'm just missing something also if this thread is in the wrong place.*

I'm trying to figure a way to build an application to send commands like "toggleEditor();" or "testPermissions_Master();" to the console of a game. I'd like to know if this is possible, what language should I use? and what commands would i use? If anyone could, please help me with this.

EDIT:
I forgot to elaborate more on my idea. I'd like to make a external application that has a GUI when buttons are pushed sends that command programmed to the console of the game client. (windows OR Multi-platform please)

Something like this you need source access to pull off. For example, I wrote a shared dll once that was used to pass information between TGE and simulator motion platform. The engine would pass the physics information to the motion platform by filling variables in the dll that the platform could access.
