= Chat Commands =

'''Chat Commands''' in CIT are used for public chat, private messages, team communication, organization chats, room chats, support, adverts, and other social systems.

Some chat systems use direct commands, while others are mainly accessed through the '''J''' [[Chat Interface|chat interface]] or '''CIT Messenger'''.

== Overview ==

CIT has several types of chat:

* public chat
* country chat
* main chat
* team chat
* local chat
* friend chat
* private messages
* support chat
* [[Groups|group]], [[Squads|squad]], [[alliance]], and [[Units|unit]] chats
* special chats such as car chat, donator chat, radio chat, and super adverts
* room chats through CIT Messenger

== Opening chat ==

Basic chat controls:

* Press <code>T</code> to type in chat
* Press <code>Y</code> for '''[[Team Chat]]'''
* Press <code>U</code> for '''Local Chat'''
* Use <code>/tabchat</code> or press <code>J</code> to open the full [[Chat Interface|chat interface]]

== Public and general chats ==

=== Country Chat ===

If you press <code>T</code> and type normally without using <code>/main</code>, your message goes to '''[[Country Chat]]'''.

This is different from:

<code>/cc</code>

because <code>/cc</code> is '''[[Car Chat]]''', not Country Chat.

=== Main Chat ===

To talk in '''[[Main Chat]]''':

<code>/main [message]</code>

Notes:

* <code>LS</code>, <code>SF</code>, <code>OS</code>, and <code>BC</code> share the same <code>/main</code> chat
* <code>LV</code> has its own <code>/main</code> chat
* Main Chat is English only

=== Team Chat ===

To use '''Team Chat''':

* press <code>Y</code>

<code>/fmsg [message]</code>
