To view a list of available MTA commands, press the '''`''' key or '''F8''' to open the console, then type '''help''' and press '''Enter'''.


Below is a list of some '''useful MTA commands''' along with their explanations:
'''MTA Commands''' are the built-in client and console commands in '''MTA:SA'''. They are separate from CIT server commands.
----


==== /bind ====
This page lists the commands shown by the in-game MTA console help screen.


* '''Usage''': <code>/bind <key> [up/down] <command> <arguments></code>
== Overview ==
* The '''/bind''' command is used to bind a specific action to a keyboard key. Here's how it works:
** '''<key>''': Represents the keyboard key you want to bind, e.g., '''P'''.
** '''[up/down]''': Specifies the state of the key. '''Up''' means the action happens when the key is released, and '''Down''' means the action happens when the key is pressed down. This part is optional.
** '''<command>''': The MTA command you want to bind to the key. For example, '''chatbox''' will open the chatbox.
** '''<arguments>''': Information or text that will be entered into the command. For example, <code>/localchat Hello</code> will input "Hello" when used with the '''/bind''' command.  '''Example''':
** <code>/bind 5 chatbox gc</code> will open the '''/gc''' command for you to type when you press '''5'''.
** <code>/bind 5 gc Hello!</code> will automatically send '''/gc Hello!''' when you press '''5'''.
