Chat Commands

Planetside has quite an extensive list of chat-box commands. Below are all of the ones we have documented. Have fun!

Note: [true/false], [1/0], [enable/disable] are all interchangeable

Please note this is currently a WIP as of 10/13/2020. Last Edit: 2/25/21

Overview

There are 5 tiers of account permissions, with each level having access to the commands of the proceeding tiers.

• Tier 1 – Live
• Tier 2 – Elevated *
• Tier 3 – Observer
  • Tier 3.1 – OW Observer
• Tier 4 – Admin
• Tier 5 – Developer

* Often referred to as “Jaeger Permissions”, this permission package is given to all accounts with Jaeger access to eliminate continent queues due to the population imbalances on Jaeger, but this permission package does not give access to Jaeger itself; accounts must be explicitly flagged for Jaeger/Apex server access to make accounts on those servers. This is why not all Creator and Observer Camera accounts have access to Jaeger.

Tier 3 – Observer Commands

General Commands

/observer – Puts a player into an observer cam (vehicle)

Tier 3.1 – OW Observer

In order to cast Outfit Wars, a new set of Observer Cam accounts had to be created with a higher level of permissions, in order to gain the /zone commands, without giving access to the Tier 4 – Admin Commands package

/ow observematch [value] – This command is a wrapper for the /zone commands. Lets you warp to an instance of Desolation, where the value is the rank of the match starting from zero (e.g., row 1 in the schedule = 0, row 2 = 1, etc.)

Bonus:

If an OW Observer was to join on a non-NSO character on Desolation, they take up a slot

The OW Observer’s NSO characters aren’t assigned to a faction on Desolation, even if they were on a continent prior, as whenever you change zones your faction ID is updated

I didn’t have a place to put this info, so I decided to toss it here. You’re welcome 🙂

/zone – Warps you to another zone (Such as another Continent)

• Default zone-in location in the current zone – Zone 0
• Indar – Zone 2
