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 works in private games, on dedicated servers that use IW4MAdmin and those that don't.
If you do monitor your server with IW4MAdmin then make sure to read the notes section.

The chat_command scripts you find here work for both MP and ZM and can be placed in the scripts folder.
MP only scripts are in the mp folder and ZM only scripts are in the zm folder.

chat_commands.gsc

The core script that holds the configuration, runs all the chat logic and holds utils function that are shared between all the chat_command scripts.

[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.
[IMPORTANT] By default chat_commands.gsc is made to be placed in the scripts folder.
If you place it in the scripts\mp or scripts\zm folder instead then you will need to update the include of each command script accordingly (first line) or you will get errors.
You simply have to replace #include scripts\chat_commands with #include scripts\mp\chat_commands; or #include scripts\zm\chat_commands; in each of your command script.

Also note that chat_commands.gsc 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.

Main features

  • Easy per server (port) commands configuration. You can either pass an array of one server port, or multiple, or the level.chat_commands["ports"] array to easily add a command to one/multiple/all servers
  • Chat text print and functions support
  • Optional permissions level system to restrict commands to players with a certain permission level (disabled by default)
  • 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 (only lists commands you have access to if the permission system is enabled)
  • A help command that explains how to use a given command. For example help map (only works on commands you have access to if the permission system is enabled)
  • alias and aliases commands that list the available aliases for a command. For example alias godmode (only works on commands you have access to if the permission system is enabled)
  • All commands that require a target work with me. Also it doesn't matter how you type the player's name as long as you type the full name.
  • 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

Dvars

Here are the dvars you can configure:

Name Description Default value Accepted values
cc_debug Toggle whether the script is in debug mode or not. This is used to print players GUID in the console when they connect 0 0 or 1
cc_prefix The symbol to type before the command name in the chat. Only one character is supported. The / symbol won't work normally as it's reserved by the game. If you use the / symbol as prefix you will need to type double slash in the game ! Any working symbol
cc_permission_enabled Toggle whether the permission system is enabled or not. If it's disabled any player can run any available command 0 0 or 1
cc_permission_mode Changes whether the permission dvars values are names or guids name name or guid
cc_permission_default The default permission level players who aren't found in the permission dvars will be granted 1 Any plain number from 0 to cc_permission_max
cc_permission_max The maximum/most elevated permission level 4 Any plain number above 0
cc_permission_0 A list of names or guids of players who will be granted the permission level 0 when connecting (no access to any command) "" Names or guids (depending on cc_permission_mode). Each value is separated with a colon (:)
cc_permission_1 A list of names or guids of players who will be granted the permission level 1 when connecting "" Names or guids (depending on cc_permission_mode). Each value is separated with a colon (:)
cc_permission_2 A list of names or guids of players who will be granted the permission level 2 when connecting "" Names or guids (depending on cc_permission_mode). Each value is separated with a colon (:)
cc_permission_3 A list of names or guids of players who will be granted the permission level 3 when connecting "" Names or guids (depending on cc_permission_mode). Each value is separated with a colon (:)
cc_permission_4 A list of names or guids of players who will be granted the permission level 4 when connecting "" Names or guids (depending on cc_permission_mode). Each value is separated with a colon (:)

Configuration

Below is an example CFG showing how each dvars can be configured.
The values you see are the default values that will be used if you don't set a dvar.

set cc_debug 0
set cc_prefix "!"
set cc_permission_enabled 0
set cc_permission_mode "name"
set cc_permission_default 1
set cc_permission_max 4
set cc_permission_0 ""
set cc_permission_1 ""
set cc_permission_2 ""
set cc_permission_3 ""
set cc_permission_4 ""

Notes

  • To pass an argument with a space you need to put ' around it. For example if a player name is The Moonlight then you would write !teleport 'The Moonlight' Resxt
  • If you use IW4MAdmin make sure you have a different commands prefix to avoid conflicts. For example ! for IW4MAdmin commands and . for this script. The commands prefix can be modified by changing the value of the cc_prefix dvar. As for IW4MAdmin, at the time of writing, if you want to change it you'll need to change the value of CommandPrefix
  • If you prefer to display information (error messages, status change etc.) in the player's chat rather than on his screen you can do that on a dedicated server. For this you need to install t6-gsc-utils.dll (dedicated server only) and change self IPrintLnBold(message); to self tell(message); in the TellPlayer function
  • Support for clantags was added. You can use the player names in-game or in the dvars without having to care about their clantag. The setClantag function replaces the player name so additional work was required to make the script ignore the clantag
