Introduction to "Slash" Commands

So-called "slash" commands are text commands that can be entered into the chat window, and are named as such because they all begin with a forward slash ("/"). To get an up-to-date list of all slash commands, the /cmdlist command can be used.

There are a large number of commands, in several categories:

Control Commands

This section covers commands that are used for direct control of a character or the view of the screen. Everything you need to arrange your keyboard for mechanical game play and combat is in this section.

/assist 

Change your current target to the selected ally's target. (This command actually changes your target; to simply attack your ally's target, just attack with your ally selected.)

/autorun 

Toggles autorun

/backward 

Move backwards

/camdist 

Sets the distance in feet that the third person camera pulls back behind the player

/camdistadjust 

Adjusts the camera distance relative to the current camera distance. Reads mousewheel for input.

/camreset 

Resets the camera to a set distance behind the player. Also cancels any camera rotation, but not look up or down.

/camrotate 

Camrotate is bound to the PageUp key to allow controlled camera rotation around the player. This command should not be invoked through the console.

/cc, /costume_change 

Costume change

/down 

Move down (if flying)

/follow 

Set follow mode, 1 = follow selected target, 0 = stop following

/forward 

Move forward

/forward_mouse 

Move forward. Enable autorun after two seconds

/inspexec_name 

Activate an inspiration by name

A common trick with his command is to chain a list of inspirations to use, in reverse order of preference, e.g.

• /bind f1 "inspexec_name Resurgence$$inspexec_name Dramatic Improvement$$inspexec_name Respite"

will activate a Respite if you have one, and if you don't will use a Dramatic Improvement, and if you have neither a Respite nor a Dramatic Improvement, will try to use a Resurgence.

Activate an inspiration slot in the first row

/inspexec_tray 

Activate an inspiration slot in the given row and column

/petselect

/powexec_alt2slot

/powexec_unqueue 

Cancels the queued power. (but not the auto-attack power)

/release_pets 

Release your current pets (This will work with ANY pets, including those that cannot be buffed or healed, such as Phantom Army. However, it does not work with Voltaic Sentinel, so apparently some dropped "weapons" are not considered pets. Once released, you have to wait for the power to recharge, so use with caution)

/right 

Strafe right

/speed_turn 

Set the number of degrees for rotateleft/right

/target_custom_far

Pet Commands

These commands have been defined specifically for Masterminds to control their pets. They do not work with any other type of pets, although any archetype can use the /release_pets and /petselect commands. (So they are also listed in the Character Commands above)

Stances are "aggressive", "defensive" and "passive". Actions are "attack", "goto", "follow", "stay" and "dismiss". Commands that require a pet name, stance, action, or power name will take any unique portion of the name, thus you could use "at" instead of "attack". If you use a portion of a pet name that is not unique (for instance, "zombie" if your zombies are named "zombie 1" and "zombie 2") it will command both of them. If you name your pets, however, you can use the /petcom_pow command to command all those of a given type.

/clear_petnames 

Clear the names of all your named pets

/petcom 

Set the stance or action of current pet (you can set both a stance and an action, or either)

/petcom_all 

Set the stance or action of all pets

/petcom_name 

Set the stance or action of a specific pet (specified by name)

/petcom_pow 

Set the stance or action of all pets cast by the given power

/petsay 

Make your current pet say something or emote (Emotes must be enclosed in brackets, as in "<em cower>". You may include both a statement and an emote in the same command)

/petsay_all 

Make all pets say something or emote

/petsay_name 

Make the named pet say something or emote

/petsay_pow 

Make all pets created by the given power say something or emote

/petselect 

Select pet (by numeric value, 0, 1, 2 and so on)

/petselectname 

Select pet (by name or part of name)

/petrename 

Rename your current pet

/petrename_name 

Rename the named pet

/release_pets 

Release your current pets (This will work with the "pets" in Traps and Dark Miasma, as well as the Necromancer's Ghosts. Once released, you have to wait for the power to recharge, so use with caution)

/show_petnames 

Displays the names of all your named pets

/petoptions 

Displays pet options context menu. Do NOT issue this command with any other Archetype but Mastermind. As of the latest release, it will crash the program. (Possibly only in CoH)

Emotes

There are a number of emotes that have been defined for City of Heroes, most of which are not documented in the manual. Note that if you type anything as an emote that is not in this list (for instance, /emote thinks) you will see "thinks" in a thought balloon, and in the chat window as "So-and-so thinks". In this way you can emote just about anything.

Case does not matter, so you can type /emote yes or /emote Yes. Many emotes are continuous, in order to cancel them, just move. Note that afk and newspaper are also commands. As an emote, afk simply is the same as the newspaper, it does not make you go afk. The /newspaper command, however, is completely unrelated to its emote.

afk 

You pull out a newspaper and begin reading it. (same as newspaper)

afraid 

Cowers in fear, as if effected by a Fear power. (same as cower, fear, scared)

atease 

Stands with hands behind back, in a military "at ease" pose.

attack 

Points straight ahead. (same as point)

batsmash 

Pulls out a bat and begins smashing a target, similar to the animation NPCs use. The bat is swung downward, so could be targetted on an object of varying height. Also useful for Masterminds.

batsmashreact 

Similar to the cower animation, but crouches on the floor as well. Although it could be used alone, the victim flinches at times appropriate to the batsmash animation.

beatchest 

Beats chest as if enraged, similar to the "Tough" power animation. With "roar" sound effect. (not the same as roar)

biglaugh 

Puts up hands while laughing, in a "stop, I can't stand it!" kind of gesture. (same as laugh2)

Crosses arms in front of you. (Part of the "idle" animation)

dance 

A considerably more "wacky" dance than the one done with boombox.

dice 

Throws a dice. After the animation, the dice will appear over your head to indicate what you rolled. (Note that due to the random number generator you might roll the same thing several times in a row)

disagree 

Similar to dontattack, but much longer and more vehement in its refusal.

dontattack 

Waves arms in a refusal sort of way. (same as no)

drat 

Clenches fists, then stomps foot in a gesture of extreme displeasure.
