Call setTickRate from client console

[olee]

Hi, I saw in the code, that it looks like it should be possible to call setTickRate from the client console:

  config.engine.on('playerSandbox', function (sandbox, userID) {
    sandbox.setTickRate = function (value) {
      if (!value) return sandbox.console.log('Value required')
      if (!config.auth) { return sandbox.console.log(`screepsmod-auth is required to set tick rate from player console.`) }
      if (!config.auth.getUser) { return sandbox.console.log(`screepsmod-auth is outdated, please update screepsmod-auth`) }
      config.auth.getUser({ _id: userID }).then(user => {
        if (user.hasGroup('admin')) {
          pubsub.publish('setTickRate', value)
          sandbox.console.log(`Tick rate set to ${value}ms`)
        } else {
          sandbox.console.log(`Unauthorized. Only Admins can set tick rate.`)
        }
      })
    }
    sandbox.getTickRate = function () {
      env.get('tickRate').then(value => {
        sandbox.console.log(`Tick rate is ${value}ms`)
      })
    }
  })

However when I try to call setTickRate, the console says setTickRate is not defined.

How do I use this feature?
Would be awesome to set the tickRate from code for testing

That is broken due to changes when IVM was introduced, it also relies on the undocumented group feature of screepsmod-auth, which I never finished developing and documenting :(

Is there any plan to get this working again?

[AlinaNova21]

Currently not, IVM changes the sandbox in a way that makes this much harder to do. This kinda cheats and calls the DB directly from user code, which isn't allowed in IVM. It would need to set an intent then listen for it, adding a lot of extra complexity. You can still call it from CLI though.

If you can give me some pointers on how to implement this (that stuff with intent etc.) I would like to try adding this feature again.
