"Which fucking output do I use and for what????"
If you're like me, and I know I am, I can never remember this shit off the top of my head.
There's also the issue of how it's all well and good to see what command has an effect, but not the opposite: what effect has a command.
So here's some outputs!
| Command | Aliases | What It's For | Primary Params | Optional Params | How It Works | Additional Handling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| boutput | out, bo | Basic output to client text log, the b stands for browser. | target (client or derived client),
message (text) |
group | Finds the client of target (whether it's a client, mob, or mind) and sends the text of the message. | If target is a list, iterate through all members of the list and boutput them all individually. If target is world, send message to all connected clients. If message is text, it's stripped of macros; if message is not, it's rejected. If there are multiple messages within the same timeframe, they're wrapped up and sent as a bundle (uses group). |
| visible_message | visible message (as opposed to audible) | If from a user, the first message is what everyone in visibility range sees. If a second message is specified, the user sees that message and *everyone else* sees the first message. The third option, which should be used more, is what someone who can't see but is in visibility range gets as a message (hears) | ||||
boutput (aliased as out, or bo): basic output to chatlog.
