# Chat Commands

Adding chat commands is as easy as making your method `public` `static` and adding the `ChatCommand` attribute as shown below.

### Example Simple Command Without Permissions

```csharp
[ChatCommand("discord")]
public static void DiscordCommand(Player player)
{
    player.SendChatMessage("You can join our discord at discord.gg/xxxxx");
}
```

### A command with a description and a required permission.

```csharp
[ChatCommand(name: "kickme", permission: "chat.kickme", docs: "Syntax: '/kickme' Kicks yourself from the server.")]
public static void Command_players(Player player)
{
    player.Kick("Such an useful command.");
}
```

### As an example here is the `players` command from SDS.

This command uses a string as the return type for ease of use, it directly sends the message in chat OR in the console if ran by the console. If a command is ran by the console the player will be null. The player can NEVER be null in other cases. The console also bypass any permissions.

```csharp
[ChatCommand(name: "players", permission: "chat.players", docs: "Syntax: '/players' Lists all players in the world.")]
public static string Command_players(Player player, string[] args)
{
    List<Player> players = Player.PlayerList.WithoutServerPlayer();
    string playerList = string.Join(", ", players.Select(x => x.PlayerName));
    return $"Players ({players.Count}): {playerList}.";
}
```
