UltraCommand allows a server administrator to define custom commands that can send the executing player messages, run commands as the player or as the console, and more!

Usage

Add a command named <name>:

/uc add <name>

Add an element with content <value> to the command <name>:

/uc add <element> <name> <value

where <element> is one of:

• text - Text that will be sent to the player. Colour codes using '&' can be used.
• chat - Chat messages that will be force-sent by the player. Colour codes using & can be used.
• pcmd - Commands that will be run as the player. The leading slash is optional.
• ccmd - Commands that will be run as the console. The leading slash is optional.

If the command named <name> does not exist when this command is run, it is automatically created. This makes it optional to create it with /uc add <name> beforehand.

The element value can contain substitutions (placeholders for data that is specific to a certain time and context a command is run in). A list of substitions is available further down the page.

Examples

Define /ranks to display a list of server ranks to the player:

[/uc add ranks]
/uc add text ranks &eOur server's ranks:
/uc add text ranks &e- &aBuilder
/uc add text ranks &e- &aForeman
/uc add text ranks &e- &aArchitect
/uc add text ranks &e- &aPlanner
/uc add text ranks &e- &cAdmin
/uc add text ranks &e- &bCEO

Define /welcome <player> to show a welcome message to a new player in a chat message:

[/uc add welcome]
/uc add chat welcome Welcome to the server, $1!

The $1 substitution is used to refer to the actual content of <player> part of the command above.

Define /nightvision to give the player the Night Vision effect for an hour.

[/uc add nightvision]
/uc add ccmd nightvision /effect $p 16 3600 10

The $p substitution is used to refer to the player's username.

Substitutions

• $p - The username of the player running the custom command.
• $d - The display name of the player running the custom command.
• $a - All arguments given to the custom command, separated with spaces (e.g. for passing to another command).
• $1, $2, $3 etc. - The arguments given to the custom command.
