Provides help/list of commands.

help [command: CommandName]help <page: int>
- Arguments
- page|command name (BE: page: int or command: CommandName) (optional)
- Specifies the page number of the command list or the command to provide help for. If not specified, defaults to
1(the first page of the command list).
- Specifies the page number of the command list or the command to provide help for. If not specified, defaults to
- Result
- Fails if page is not a valid page number, or if command name is not a valid command name. Technically fails even if a valid command name is specified, although it displays the usage of the command.
- On success, displays a page of the command list. Multiplayer commands will not be displayed while in singleplayer, even when open to LAN players.
- If a valid command name was specified, displays the usage for that command. For some complicated commands may show only the basic usage — additional information can sometimes be gained by attempting to type the command and using the auto-complete control (defaults to Tab ↹ key) to explore available options for each argument.
- Examples
- To display the first page of the command list:
help
- To display the third page of the command list:
help 3
- To display the usage for the help command:
help help
