Console commands

Namespace: DeadworksManaged.Api

A console command is a command that starts with dw_ and runs from the server console or a game console. A plugin creates console commands with the [Command] attribute.

If you name the command heal, Deadworks registers:

/heal in chat
!heal in chat
dw_heal in the console

To register only the console version, without the chat commands, set ConsoleOnly = true:

[Command("heal", ConsoleOnly = true)]
public void CmdHeal(Caller caller)
{
    caller.Reply("Healing command ran.");
}

ConsoleOnly doesn't mean "server console only"

Players can still type dw_heal in their own game console. Without a Permission, anyone can run it. To keep a command to the server console and RCON, set ServerOnly = true.

To limit who can run a command, give it a permission:

[Command("heal", ConsoleOnly = true, Permission = "myplugin.heal")]

The server console (and RCON) can run every console command, whatever its permission.

Built-in commands

Command	Who can run it	Description
`dw_help`	Anyone	Lists the commands you're allowed to run.
`dw_plugin <list\|enable\|disable\|commands> [name]`	Server console or `deadworks.plugins.manage`	Lists, enables, disables or shows the commands of installed plugins. Keeps enabled and disabled plugins across restarts. `name` must be an installed plugin (from `plugins/` or `builtin/`), otherwise `There's no plugin called '<name>'. Run dw_plugin list to see them.`
`dw_reloadconfig [name]`	Server console or `deadworks.config.reload`	Reloads the config of every plugin, or of the named one.
`dw_penalties_reload`	Server console or `deadworks.penalties.reload`	Re-reads bans, gags and mutes after you edit `penalties.jsonc` by hand.
`dw_perm_`, `dw_role_`	See How permissions work	Manages roles and permissions.

The built-in commands are ordinary commands, so server owners can change who can run them in overrides.jsonc, like any plugin's.
