Chat commands

Let players execute commands by typing in the chat.
This can be used to display text to the player, for example the server rules or execute GSC code, just like console commands.
This has been created for private games or servers that aren't running IW4MAdmin and want to have some commands.
This hasn't been tested on a server running IW4MAdmin so I highly recommend doing some testing on a private server if you want to use both.

[IMPORTANT] Installing chat_commands.gsc is mandatory to make the commands work as this is the core of this whole system and all the command scripts depend on it.
Also note that this script doesn't provide any command on its own. You must install at least one command script to be able to use commands. Otherwise it will always say that you don't have any command.

Features available

  • Easy per server (port) commands configuration. You can either pass an array of one server port, or multiple, or the level.commands_servers_ports array to easily add a command to one/multiple/all servers
  • Chat text print and functions support
  • All exceptions are handled with error messages (no commands on the server, not enough arguments, command doesn't exist, command doesn't have any help message, player doesn't exist etc.)
  • A commands command that lists all available commands on the server you're on dynamically
  • A help command that explains how to use a given command. For example help map
  • Configurable command prefix. Set to ! by default
  • A plugin system to easily allow adding/removing commands. Each command has its own GSC file to easily add/remove/review/configure your commands. This also makes contributing by creating a PR to add a command a lot easier

🚫 Features not available/to add

  • Commands aliases
  • Permissions/ranks to restrict some commands to a certain type of players (admin, VIP etc.)
  • Configurable text colors/accent. As of now the majority of the text will be white

The player affected by the command dies and swaps to the other team.

chat_command_freeze.gsc

Also, if you unfreeze a bot the bot has to die before he starts moving again.
