Core Help Root: Subsystems: Channels


Channels are a global way to communicate with other users. Commands available for using channels:

@addcom <alias>=<channel>

Adds a channel alias to a channel <channel>. Provides a shortcut way of referring to a channel. For example, typing '@addcom pub=Public' will create a shortcut called 'pub' which refers to the [Public] channel.

@delcom <alias>

@delcom <alias> deletes your alias for the given channel.

@channels

Show all of the channel aliases and their channels you have defined (this list is only applicable to you).

<channel alias> <msg>

Used to speak on a channel. If the channel [Public] has the alias 'pub', you can send a message to it with the command 'pub Hi!'. Similarly, emotes work as well with 'pub :waves'

<channel alias> on

Used to turn on a channel. Typing '<alias> on' will turn on the channel specified by <alias>, such as 'pub'. When a channel is turned on, you listen and receive messages from anyone chantting on that channel.

<channel alias> off

Used to leave a channel.

<channel alias> who

Used to determine who is listening to a given channel. Typing '<alias> who' will provide a listing of users currently listening. For example, 'pub who' will list the users chatting or idling on the public channel, from the example above.
