Often with AMX Mod X, when debugging or developing scripts, I need to test one or two lines of code. Currently, I have to write a new script with those lines, adding all the normal cruft to it, compile it, edit plugins.ini, and restart the map. For SourceMod, I'd like the ability to enter a line of script code into the console and have it execute for me, returning the results. This would be a command provided by the scripting interface, so, for example

sm_js  p = get_player("malex"); return p.health();

would run the Javascript code, while

sm_perl return $q =~ s/\w\W3(\d)/$1/;

would run the Perl code.

\malex\

This would be easily accomplishable through a module connected to the metaeng_<scripting> layer.

I plan for each scripting layer to export its own API back into SourceMod - this is called the "Connector" API.

So you could use the connector API in conjunction with the module API to use the full scripting language features in your own context.
