Is there a way to whitelist some classes for local use?

I wanted to write my own AI and use it with the autopilot. It is not possible because a couple small simple struct-like classes are prohibited.

I had heard there is a plugin, DLL or something I can use to bypass some of these classes being prohibited. Does anybody know where I can get this?

 

You can make a plugin to do so, quite easily. Here's (part) of a plugin I use to (among other things) enable debugger methods in the programmable block. The principles are the same for the modding API.

Code:

	public class Plugin : IPlugin
	{
		public void Dispose()
		{
		}

		public void Init(object gameInstance)
		{
			MySandboxGame.Log.WriteLine("###PLUGIN: Programmable Block DebugPlugin Enabled");

			// Enable the use of the Debugger type
			using (var batch = MyScriptCompiler.Static.Whitelist.OpenBatch())
			{
				batch.AllowTypes(MyWhitelistTarget.Both, typeof(Debugger));
			}

			// Add "using" statements to the programmable block Program template
			MyScriptCompiler.Static.AddImplicitIngameNamespacesFromTypes(typeof(Debugger));
		}

		public void Update()
		{
		}
	}

This is a normal .NET Framework project. Reference the game assemblies. Then you can load the plugin by adding `-plugin pathToDll.dll` to your Steam shortcut.

 

Thanks! It works great.
