Engine:CCMD context
Switches contexts or prints the current context.
context client
Arguments
- name (optional) - The name of the context to switch to. If no name, then prints the name of the current context.
Details
The 'context' command allows changing between named contexts. Each context may have its own commands and variables and rules, and purpose.
For a context to be available, it has to be associated with the one you are in. These associations are created by the various engine modules and can never be directly added or removed by console commands, or any type of script or AddOn.
Although doesn't involve the 'context' command, context names can also be used to reference facilities in other contexts directly, rather than by switching first.
Examples
Default values
- Try to change to a non-existent context.
> context bob Unknown: bob
- Called with no name. The current context is printed.
> context global
Context seperation
- Same as the first example. But change to the known 'client' context, which is addressable from the 'global' context.
> context client
- Start the client service, and change the client 'bob' variable which exists only in the 'client' context.
> start
Client started.
> bob 8081
> bob
'bob' is '8081'
> context
client
- Change back to the 'global' context. Test to see that the bob variable in 'client' is not in 'global'.
> context global > context global > bob Unknown: bob
