Creating Commands

Custom commands give users the ability to create a command with their desired response. To create a custom command, navigate to the Commands tab on the sidebar: After click the Create button in the top right corner:

​

Creating a Simple Command

Start by adding the command name. This is the command that will be used in chat: Response is what you would like to be sent to chat. This can include normal text but also utilize variables: When your command is finished, click the Save button in the button right corner:

​

Cooldowns

Cooldowns are essential to controlling how often a command is used and to avoid spam in chat.

​

Global Cooldowns

Global cooldowns are the minimum frequency a command can be triggered by any user in chat. If a single user triggers a command, the entire chat must wait until the cooldown is over until this command can be triggered again.

​

User Cooldowns

User Cooldowns are the minimum frequency a single user trigger a command. If User-A triggers a command they must wait X amount of seconds before they can trigger the command again. User-B can still trigger the command.

​

Aliases

A command alias is used to add another command name without creating a new custom command. Create an alias by typing in the box and using the Enter key on your keyboard or the Create button. Click the X on the alias to delete it.
