WC3 Code Paste Helper
This small script helps you to paste Lua code from your editor to
Eikonium's Lua Debug Console
for execution. This console can accept multi-line input of code when you prepend
it with >.
All you have to do:
- Copy code in editor
- Go to game and press CTRL+B to paste it as multi-line code
For example, copy this code:
x = 19
y = 2
print("x + y = ".. x + y)will be pasted in game chat like this to be executed:
>x = 19
>y = 2
print("x + y = ".. x + y)Watch the video here
