• Add following line to init() function of maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc

thread au\_cmd_handler::init();

Creating new cmd.

Edit au/_cmd_handler.gsc

1. Add a function to handle the cmd (preferably at au_cmd_def.gsc ).

   signature: cmd_handler_function(player, cmd){...}

    args:
        player: player entity
        cmd: array
            cmd[0]: cmd_name
            cmd[1]: player entity
            cmd[2 ... n]: optional arguments
   

2. registercmd in registerCMDS() using cmd_handler_function pointer.

level.registered_cmd[cmd_name] = au\_cmd_def::cmd_handler_function;

Usage

You can invoke the cmd by setting following two Dvars

• cmdnum : should be used with player slot id argument.
• cmdnick : should be used with player nickname argument.

General invocation format :

<cmd_name>:<player-id-or-name>:<optional-args-separated-by-colon>

1. Via rcon

• To kill player at slot id 0

/rcon set cmdnum kill:0

• To kill player using name (substr will also work)

/rcon set cmdnick kill:noobmaster69

2. Via B3

• Set in customcommands.ini

kill = set cmdnick kill:<PLAYER:NAME>
