Bang Commands
=============
"Bang commands" (called such because they start with a bang "!") are used in 'one-command' 
to implement powerful custom commands. Some are built into *one-command*, others can be added using 
the plugins feature.

Built in commands
=================

Loops and events
----------------

### Explanation
Commands for *loops* (20-ticks-per-second continous commands) and *events* (run-once commands) are built into 
*one-command*. These bang commands require the `bang-commands-setup.mcc` module to be installed into your map. 
You will be prompted to do this by *one-command* when using them.

The custom commands use Minecraft's scoreboard tag feature to work. 
The setup module created an entity named "OC-SYSTEM", and this entity runs the loops and events. 

For example; if there is a loop named 'GameRunning', the OC-SYSTEM entity will be tagged 'loop_GameRunning' 
while the loop is active. For an event named 'StartGame' to run, OC-SYSTEM will be tagged 'event_StartGame'.

----

### The `!loop` command
Usage: `!loop <loopName>`

This command is used define a 20-ticks-per-second continous looping chain of commands. 
The commands following the loop command will be preceded by a conditional repeating command block that 
will only execute if `!start_loop` has been called in the previous tick. 

```
!loop GameRunning
	{"type":"chain", "conditional":false}
	/scoreboard players tag @a remove HasSpeed
	/scoreboard players tag @a add HasSpeed {ActiveEffects:[{Id:1b}]}
	/effect @a[tag=!HasSpeed] minecraft:speed 1 3 true
```

----

### The `!start_loop` command
Usage: `!start_loop <loopName>`

This command is used to start a loop (defined using `!loop`) in the next tick. 
When started, the loop will continue until `!stop_loop` is called.

```
# TURN ON PAINT
{"type":"impulse", "auto":false}
	!start_loop Paint
	{"type":"chain", "auto":true}
		/say TURNED ON PAINT
```

----

### The `!stop_loop` command
Usage: `!stop_loop <loopName>`

This command is used to stop a loop (defined using `!loop`) in the next tick. 

```
# TURN ON PAINT
{"type":"impulse", "auto":false}
	!stop_loop Paint
	{"type":"chain", "auto":true}
		/say TURNED OFF PAINT
```

----

### The `!event` command
Usage: `!event <eventName>`

This command is used define a run-once chain of commands. 
The commands following the event command will be preceded by a conditional repeating command block that 
will only execute if `!start_event` has been called in the previous tick. 

```
# CYCLE POWERUPS
!event CyclePowerups
	{"type":"chain", "conditional":false}
	/scoreboard players set @e[name=SYSTEM] countdown 600
	/execute @r[type=ArmorStand,tag=randomPowerUp] ~ ~ ~ blockdata ~ ~ ~ {auto:1b}
	/execute @e[type=ArmorStand,tag=randomPowerUp] ~ ~ ~ blockdata ~ ~ ~ {auto:0b}
```

----

### The `!start_event` command
Usage: `!start_event <eventName>`

This command is used to start an event (defined using `!event`) in the next tick. 

```
# TURN ON POWERUPS
{"type":"impulse", "auto":false}
	!start_event CyclePowerups
	{"type":"chain", "auto":true}
    !start_loop Powerups
		/say TURNED ON PAINT

```

Manage scoreboard objectives
----------------------------

### The `!reset_objective` command
Usage: `!reset_objective <objective> <criteria>`

This command is used to destroy and re-create a scoreboard objective in one command. Useful for setup chains.

```
!reset_objective lobbyStatus dummy LOBBY STATUS
```
