How to create a command alias to run ".command" instead of "!command?

Hi,

I just created a command which needs 1 argument but I want it to run by typing ".command <arg>" instead of "!command <arg>".

How do I do that?

Thanks!

Hook chat and filter out arguments by splitting string.

The easiest way to change the chat trigger is through the "PublicChatTrigger" option in SourceMod's core.cfg. That would change it for all commands though. You could ask for this to be merged as well, so you can have both "!" and "." as chat triggers.

Otherwise you need to check for your ".command" in OnClientSayCommand and parse the argument manually..

Awesome guys, you solved all my doubts!

I think I will go for changing the PublicChatTrigger as I already have my commands coded as usual commands.

Thanks!
