Text Commands

Text Commands

Within the chat interface are a myriad of commands that allow you additional functionality, and access to information. All text Commands can be access by using either . or / in the chat bar.

Shortcut Substitutions

Shortcuts can be entered into the chat buffer to simplify the typing of long names for various things. The correct information is inserted into the text when it is sent to other players.

• $orig: Inserts your Origin city.
• $targ: Inserts your Mission Target city.
• $lead: Inserts the name of your Mission Leader.
• $unit: Inserts the name of your current Brigade
• $miss: Inserts the name of your Mission.
• $town: Inserts the city you are currently in.
• $here: Inserts the name of the Facility and capture point.
• $hcid: Inserts short ID of current Brigade

To use these, enter the shortcut as you type. For example, if you are on a mission attacking Antwerp and you send "Air cover needed at $targ", will be seen as "Air cover needed at Antwerp."
