A plugin may implement a callback for this hook to intercept both in-game commands executed by the players and console commands executed by the server admin. The function is called for every in-game command sent from any player and for those server console commands that are not built in in the server.

If the command is in-game, the first parameter to the hook function is the player who's executing the command. If the command comes from the server console, the first parameter is nil.

The server calls this hook even for unregistered (unknown) console commands. It also calls the hook for unknown in-game commands, as long as they begin with a slash ('/'). If a plugin needs to intercept in-game chat messages not beginning with a slash, it should use the HOOK_CHAT hook.

Callback function

The default name for the callback function is OnExecuteCommand. It has the following signature:

function MyOnExecuteCommand(Player, CommandSplit, EntireCommand)

Parameters:

If the plugin returns false, Cuberite calls all the remaining hook handlers and finally the command will be executed. If the plugin returns true, the none of the remaining hook handlers will be called. In this case the plugin can return a second value, specifying whether what the command result should be set to, one of the CommandResult constants. If not provided, the value defaults to crBlocked.

Code examples

Registering the callback

cPluginManager:AddHook(cPluginManager.HOOK_EXECUTE_COMMAND, MyOnExecuteCommand);
