Hi ALL,

i wish to consolidate the 'syntax' for alliances into one location. this location. thus:

i just had an alliance message screw up.

anyway, this: "allies add 6, 16"

did not work. so, how do i add multiple allies?

either

  allies add 6 16

or

  allies add 6
  allies add 16

I would prefer the second form (mainly because PCC2 messes the former :-)

That you can use multiple players in one command is implicitly in the "allies" command description's "Syntax" field: allies add|drop <player...> The dots mean "any number of them".

That you can send multiple commands in a single message is in the "Sending Command Messages" section.

However, nowhere it says you can use commas to separate parameters, and this is what caused your command to fail.

that is good, but this is for newbies. we newbies have so much information to assimilate, that having the details in multiple locations makes it very difficult to accurately assimilate the information.

i wish to add the following information:

there is a short version of the above message lines, specifically, all words in PCC2 can be abbreviated to the first letter, thus:

 a a 1
 a a 2
 etc.

those letters are for allies add

 a c 1 ~p +m -v  (or, what you want here)
 a c 2 ~s ~m ~c ~v (or, what you want here)
 etc.

those beginning letters are for allies config

and, thanks go to the player who gave me the shortcut versions.

so, there you have it folks. all the syntax needed to do your alliances without error.
