Before you can actually use the command in your game, you must now store it
|

within a *command set*. See the [Command Sets](./Command-Sets.md) page.

### Command prefixes
|
||||
|
||||
Historically, many MU* servers used to use prefix, such as `@` or `&` to signify that
|
||||
a command is used for administration or requires staff privileges. The problem with this is that
|
||||
newcomers to MU often find such extra symbols confusing. Evennia allows commands that can be
|
||||
accessed both with- or without such a prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
CMD_IGNORE_PREFIXES = "@&/+`
|
||||
|
||||
This is a setting consisting of a string of characters. Each is a prefix that will be considered
|
||||
a skippable prefix - _if the command is still unique in its cmdset when skipping the prefix_.
|
||||
|
||||
So if you wanted to write `@look` instead of `look` you can do so - the `@` will be ignored. But If
|
||||
we added an actual `@look` command (with a `key` or alias `@look`) then we would need to use the
|
||||
`@` to separate between the two.
|
||||
|
||||
This is also used in the default commands. For example, `@open` is a building
|
||||
command that allows you to create new exits to link two rooms together. Its `key` is set to `@open`,
|
||||
including the `@` (no alias is set). By default you can use both `@open` and `open` for
|
||||
this command. But "open" is a pretty common word and let's say a developer adds a new `open` command
|
||||
for opening a door. Now `@open` and `open` are two different commands and the `@` must be used to
|
||||
separate them.

The command parser is very general and does not require a space to end your command name. This means
