                     Commands

What are commands?

A command allows you to edit Raptor Chat settings. None of the commands require a connection to a server in order to function. Unlike Functions and Variables, a command will not return a value and must be entered at the start of a line. Text formatting is performed before the commands are sent, in order to disable text formatting you will have to begin the command with "///" instead of the normal "/"

Important Notes:

  • Commands may be entered anywhere where a message is being sent to the server.
  • The ";" character is used to indicate the end of a parameter, therefore it cannot be used except to end a parameter.
  • If you do not want text formatting then add "//" to the start of the line, example:
    "/display <website>" will display "http://www.raptorchat.com/"
    "///display <website>" will display "<website>"
  • Parameters in gray are optional, parameters in white are required.
  • Italic text is text that you must replace with a custom value described in the commands parameters.
  • Placing a variable in "{}" will prevent it from being formatted, example:
    "/display Today is <date> and it is currently <time> EST" will display "Today is 16/8/2001 and it is currently 3:42:24 EST"
    "/display Today is {<date>} and it is currently <time> EST" will display "Today is {<date>} and it is currently 3:42:24 EST"
