[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 crucial 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"'.
