DayZ player commands on Continent

Open the normal DayZ chat, type a command and send it as you would send an ordinary message. Every command accepts either an exclamation mark or a forward slash. For example, !info and /info perform the same action.

Most replies are visible only to the player who used the command. Global chat is the exception because its purpose is to reach everyone currently connected. A command can be typed with a custom character name or with a default Survivor name.

If two connected players use exactly the same launcher name, the server cannot safely decide which character sent the chat message. Commands are temporarily unavailable to those two players until one of them reconnects with a unique name. This prevents one player from accidentally controlling a process started by another.

QUICK START

Type !help at any time to receive the current command list inside the game.

DayZ terrain and buildings can occasionally leave a character unable to move. The !unstuck command starts a controlled search for the nearest suitable position and moves the character only after a sixty second countdown.

The delay makes the command unsuitable as an escape from another player. No other player may be within one hundred metres when the process begins or while it continues. The starting position is remembered, and the move is cancelled if the character travels more than three metres before the countdown ends.

1. 01
   Remain where you are trapped

   Use !unstuck and wait while the server looks for a suitable destination.

2. 02
   Keep the area clear

   The process stops if another player comes within one hundred metres.

3. 03
   Do not move away

   More than three metres of movement before the final check cancels the request.

4. 04
   Move to the prepared position

   After sixty seconds the server checks the destination again and moves the character if it remains safe.

A successful use begins a one hour waiting period before the command can be used again. A cancelled or failed search does not consume that successful use. If no safe destination can be found, the character remains in place and the server reports the failure.

A vehicle resting on its side can be recovered with !flipcar. Leave the vehicle, stand a short distance in front of it and use the command. The nearest supported vehicle in front of the character is selected, then the server waits three seconds before it begins the correction.

Nobody may remain in the vehicle. Its position is recorded when the command starts and checked again before anything is changed. If the vehicle has moved, the request is cancelled. This avoids correcting a vehicle that has already started moving or is being handled by someone else.

The command recognises the standard cars, off road vehicles, covered trucks and motorboats used on Continent. It is intended to correct an overturned vehicle, not to move it through an obstacle or recover it from an inaccessible location.

Local voice and text remain the natural way to communicate with survivors nearby. Global chat is available when a message needs to reach the entire server, such as a general question, a warning or a conversation with players in another part of the map.

A global message can contain up to one hundred and sixty characters. Repeated spaces and hidden line breaks are cleaned before delivery, and words listed in the server chat filter are replaced. The player name shown with the message is taken from the connected character identity.

!zombietax claims the daily reward currently configured for the server. The exact contents can change because each reward pool is controlled by the current server setup. The result may contain different items, quantities, remaining contents and condition.

The command can be used once per recorded day while the character is alive. A reward is placed into the character inventory when possible. If there is not enough room for an item, the server attempts to place it on the ground at the character position instead.

A claim is recorded only after at least one reward has been delivered. If the reward configuration is unavailable or nothing can be created, the command reports the problem rather than consuming the daily claim.

REMEMBER

The daily reward depends on the selected server. Use !zombietax after joining the character that should receive it.
