Title: dot commands exposed
Post by: maxtor on January 29, 2003, 11:25:18 AM

Just in case you missed this in the Aces High Help download.  In particular .showjoin is one I am going to get in habit of typing every login.

 * Squad Permissions
Permission Value
 Permission

Adding numbers together gives multiple permissions.

.target 1000

Places a target 1000 yards away in flight (TA only I think) to the north.

Can be adjusted to any range in yards by chagning the number.

.Target 0 makes if disappear.

You can use that in MA as well

Here is another very handy one.

To view your squad message of the day.

.showsquadmotd

This can be seen in flight or on the ground.

We use this to post the Squadnight mission order and other important squad stuff.    I have a button programed to squelch 1 and then pop up the squad MOTD.

.target works in all arenas.. personally, I find it useless.
