OverviewEdit

Most of the actions by interacting with the interface, you can also perform by entering a text command into the chat command-line. A list of known commands, and their help descriptions follows, sorted by category. Vanguard's command-line is also predictive, meaning that if you type an incomplete command, it will interpret it as the closest command to the string you entered. Example: "/corpse" will be interpreted as "/corpsedrag"
