Chat-Command: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:49, 4 June 2024

A chat-command can be executed within the in-game chat by typing the particular command into the chat and submit it. Chat-commands enable the player (or the game master) to access special game functionalities that do not have or need UI elements.

Usually, chat-commands start with a special prefix character (e.g. "/" or "\"), which tells the chat to not actually send readable text to the other players, but execute a command instead. The prefix is directly followed by the command (or command-name) itself and then possibly followed by a leading space (" ") and command arguments, which are different for each particular command and are self each separated by one space (" ").

With few exceptions, the output/result/effect of the command is only directly visible to the executing player himself/herself, either directly within the chat or by other client behaviors.

Pattern:

<prefix><command>( <argument1> <argument2> ... <argumentN>)

Examples:

▪ \rates

▪ /teleport RandomCharacter42 25300 4012
