Commands

Custom commands are easily implemented with minimal boilerplate for both in-game chat interfaces and conventional command-line interfaces.

Chat commands

Chat commands are in-game commands entered via the game client's chat, prefixed by a forward slash (/).

when using covalence

[Command("test")]
private void TestCommand(IPlayer player, string command, string[] args)
{
    player.Reply("Test successful!");
}

when using Rustplugin

[ChatCommand("test")]
void cmdTest (BasePlayer player, string command, string [] args)
{
	Puts("Test successful!");
}

Console commands

Console commands may be executed from the server console and in-game interfaces F1 (where applicable).

when using covalence

[Command("test")]
private void TestCommand(IPlayer player, string command, string[] args)
{
    player.Reply("Test successful!");
}

when using Rustplugin

[ConsoleCommand("test")]
private void cmdTest(ConsoleSystem.Arg arg)
{
    Puts("Test successful!");
}

Command permissions

Easily restrict command usage to players who have a permission assigned to them.

[Command("test"), Permission("epicstuff.use")]
private void TestCommand(IPlayer player, string command, string[] args)
{
    player.Reply("Test successful!");
}
