Registration permissions
| Registration | Handler | Required status (local DB, Oct 6) | Implementation |
|---|---|---|---|
/assist |
535 | 0 | Implemented |
Assist your target, or configure automatic attack when assisting.
Implementation: Implemented.
Syntax
/assist [on|off|player_name]
Arguments
Position is zero-based in sep, after a registered database subcommand has been removed. Internal action tokens remain at position 0. Angle brackets are required; square brackets are optional. Alternative forms may change field meanings.
| Position | Argument | Accepted value / type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | option |
text | on/off changes automatic attack; a player name chooses an assist target. |
Behavior and restrictions
- With no option, switches to the selected entity’s target.
Persistence evidence in the active path: database.insertCharacterProperty. Each call is subject to its surrounding validation; not every branch saves.
Current argument/client/target checks (exact source excerpts; branch-dependent):
if(sep && sep->arg[0] && sep->IsNumber(0))
Permissions
Local database snapshot, October 6, 2026: /assist requires status 0 (handler 535). Other worlds may configure different values.
The dispatcher checks the resolved registration status before invoking the handler. In-handler guild, group, ownership, client-version and target checks still apply.
Examples
The syntax forms above are the source-based invocation examples. Replace identifiers with values valid for your world; client callback fields are supplied by the game client.
