In-game commands
All in-game commands
Every team-chat command Rust Pulse responds to, grouped by category. Default prefix is `!`.
The bot listens on your paired server's Rust+ socket. Anyone in your in-game team can type these commands in team chat and the bot replies in team chat. Default prefix is !; you can change it in dashboard Settings.
Custom switch commands
On top of these built-ins, every Smart Switch you wire up can be given a custom command (e.g. !base flips your base lights). See Custom switch commands.
