Revision as of 01:13, 13 June 2021

Real Virtuality Commands/Functions documentation template, used by these pages.

Do NOT edit this template before heavy testing, as it is widely used! (on at least 4,743 pages, including 2,666 commands and 2,077 functions)

Usage

{{RV|type=|other parameters, see below}}

  • meta information:
    • type: (named argument, case-insensitive) "command" or "function"
    • displayTitle: (Optional, default {{PAGENAMEE}} - encoded page name, i.e with underscores) use to force page's displayTitle (e.g diag_log (Arma 2)) - automatically deals with diag_ and buldozer_ pages already
    • sortKey: (Optional, default commandName or functionName without BIS/BIN_fnc_ prefix) use to force category's sort key
  • primary parameters:
    • game1: short game name - same as Name template input format. Can be: ofp, ofpe, arma1, arma2, arma2oa, tkoh, arma3
    • version1: (Optional, default empty - unknown) number in GVI template format: <Major>.<Minor>. e.g 1.46, 1.75, 1.86 etc.
    • arg: (Optional, default empty) local or global - if provided, will display the LALocal or GAGlobal icon depending on arguments' locality
    • eff: (Optional, default empty) local or global - if provided, will display the LELocal or GEGlobal icon depending on effect's locality
    • serverExec: (Optional, default empty) if provided, will display the SEServer icon informing the command must be run on the server
    • descr: (Optional, default Description needed) the command description
    • exec: (Optional, Function only, default call) use spawn for functions to be spawned
    • gr1..gr5: (Optional, default Command Group: Uncategorised) Command groups. Case sensitive
    • s1: (Optional, default Syntax needed) command syntax with named parameters, without <sqf> tags nor ending
semicolon. e.g unit1 setDammage 1
    • p1..p20: (Optional, default empty) command parameters with description
    • r1: (default Return value needed) syntax's return value
    • x1..x10: (default Example needed) command examples (to be put between <sqf></sqf> tags where needed)
    • seealso: (default See also needed) list of related links in wiki format, separated by comma or space. e.g [[setDir]] [[setPos]]
  • secondary parameters:
    • branch: (Optional, default empty) takes free string such as development (dev), diagnostic (diag) or profiling (prof). If provided, will mark the page as Development, Diagnostic or Profiling branch only
    • alias: (Optional, default empty) if provided, will show Alias link(s) under the description
    • mp: (Optional, default empty) if provided, will show a Multiplayer note under the description
    • pr: (Optional, default empty) if provided, will show a Problems note under the description
    • game2..7: (Optional, default empty) same as game1
    • version2..7: (Optional, default empty) same as version1, for the corresponding game#
    • s2..s6: (Optional, default empty) Alternative syntaxes 1 to 5 (see s1)
    • s2since..s6since: (Optional, default empty) game version that introduced the syntax; format gameId gameVersion, e.g arma3 1.50
    • p21..p120: (Optional, default empty) Alternative syntaxes' parameters (20 each: p21..40, p41..60, p61..80, p81..100, p101..120)
    • p21since..p120since: (Optional, default empty) game version that introduced the parameter; format gameId gameVersion, e.g arma3 1.50
    • r2..r6: (Optional, default empty) Alternative syntaxes' return value (see r1)
