'''MTA Commands''' are the standard client-side and console-related commands used in '''MTA:SA''', separate from CIT's server-specific command list.
'''MTA Commands''' are the built-in client and console commands in '''MTA:SA'''. They are separate from CIT server commands.


This page covers the MTA and client-side commands that are individually described on this wiki, and how to view the wider built-in MTA command list in game.
This page lists the commands shown by the in-game MTA console help screen.


== Overview ==
== Overview ==
MTA commands are different from normal CIT commands.
In general:
* CIT commands are usually typed in chat with <code>/</code>
* MTA console commands are viewed and used through <code>F8</code>
* standard client controls are mainly managed from <code>ESC &gt; Settings</code>
== How to view MTA commands ==


To view the MTA command list:
To view the MTA command list:


# press <code>F8</code>
# press <code>`</code> or <code>F8</code> to open the console
# type <code>help</code>
# type <code>help</code>
# press <code>Enter</code>
# press <code>Enter</code>


In the <code>F8</code> console, commands are typed without <code>/</code>.
These console commands are typed in the console.
 
== MTA commands vs CIT commands ==
 
Use:
 
* <code>/help</code> to open the CIT command list GUI
* <code>F8</code> then <code>help</code> to view MTA commands
 
Standard client settings are changed in:
 
* <code>ESC &gt; Settings</code>
 
CIT-specific settings are changed in:
 
* <code>/settings</code>
 
== Bind-related commands ==
 
The standard bind system can still be used for bindable commands.
 
To create a bind:
 
<code>/bind &lt;key&gt; &lt;command&gt;</code>
 
If you want the chatbox to open with a command ready to type, use:
 
<code>/bind &lt;key&gt; chatbox &lt;command&gt;</code>
 
Examples:
 
* <code>/bind i chatbox gc</code>
* <code>/bind 5 gc Hello!</code>
 
To check [[binds]] on a key:
 
<code>/binds &lt;key&gt;</code>
 
To remove one bind from a key:
 
<code>/unbind &lt;key&gt; &lt;command&gt;</code>
 
To remove all binds from a key:
 
<code>/unbind &lt;key&gt;</code>
 
=== Chatbox shortcut binds ===
 
Common chatbox shortcuts used with:
 
<code>/bind &lt;key&gt; chatbox &lt;shortcut&gt;</code>


include:
== Command List ==
 
* <code>localchat</code>
* <code>locf</code>
* <code>main</code>
* <code>fmsg</code>
* <code>gc</code>
* <code>sc</code>
* <code>uc</code>
* <code>cc</code>
* <code>groupnote</code>
* <code>ac</code>
* <code>e</code>
* <code>sup</code>
* <code>td</code>
 
== Client utility commands ==
 
=== /serial ===
 
Use:
 
<code>/serial</code>
 
to see your PC serial in MTA.
 
=== /reconnect ===
 
Use:
 
<code>/reconnect</code>
 
to reconnect. It is also used in the password recovery flow.
 
== Changing standard controls ==
 
Standard MTA controls like:
 
* movement
* mouse controls
* joypad controls
* multiplayer client controls
 
should still be changed in:
 
<code>ESC &gt; Settings &gt; Binds</code>
 
If a CIT script key gets unbound by mistake, reconnecting resets binds to default, and you can also fix standard controls there.
 
== Command list ==
