OnKey Scripts

Complete .lua files meant to be dropped into scripts/OnKey/ — see Getting Started for how OnKey binding/KEYVAL works if you haven’t read that yet.

OpenCheatMenu.lua — Opens the game's own dev cheat menu with a single hotkey press.

The whole entry point of MrxCheatBootstrap is one call, _G.Cheat.DisplayOptions() — this just wires it to a hotkey instead of typing it into the console every time.

local KEYVAL = "f2"  -- must be in the first 10 lines -- pick any key you like, see the note below

_G.Cheat.DisplayOptions()

Confirmed working — this reuses the exact _G.Cheat.DisplayOptions() call already live-tested on the MrxCheatBootstrap page; wiring it to OnKey doesn’t change its behavior, just when it fires.

The in-game cheat menu opened via the hotkey — "Welcome to the Cheat Menu." with options Add cash, Add fuel, Add support, Modify attitude, Unlock all landing zones, Dispense all rewards, and Close this menu, with the player character standing in the HQ courtyard behind the dialog.

Picking a different key: KEYVAL (or the matching entry in lua_loader.ini’s [OnKey] section) needs a recognized key name — see Your First Mod for the mechanics of how KEYVAL gets picked up. For the full list of valid Windows virtual-key names/codes to choose from, see Microsoft’s own reference: Virtual-Key Codes (this is the same link the loader’s own auto-generated lua_loader.ini points you to).
