[14-1] Format

Learn Quake Champions command formatting: # for numbers, $ for strings, and ... for lists. Type commands exactly as shown.

When entering commands in Quake Champions, it is make-or-break to type them precisely as they are presented. There are specific indicators for different types of input:

• #: Indicates you should enter a numeric value. Decimal values are sometimes acceptable.
• $: Indicates you should enter a string, which can include letters, symbols, and sometimes numbers.
• ...: Indicates you can enter a list of values.

A number following a # or $ (e.g., #1 or $1) is used to distinguish between multiple instances of # or $ within a single command. This helps in identifying separate numeric or string inputs.

Examples:

• color #1 #2: You should type the command 'color', followed by a space, then a number, another space, and finally another number.
• alias $1 "$2;$3:$4...": You should type 'alias', a space, a string, a space, a quotation mark, a series of strings separated by semicolons, and then a closing quotation mark.
• name $: For commands like 'name', if you need to enter a string that contains spaces, you must enclose it in quotation marks. For instance, if your name was Michael Montgomery, you would type 'name "Michael Montgomery"'.
