Chat

Chat allows players to communicate with each other by either typing out messages in the Chatbox or selecting a premade message from the Speedchat. Players can access the Chatbox by pressing the **Show Chat** button in the top left of the screen, or by setting a hotkey for it in the Options menu.

The chat system operates under an **Allow List**, which only allows words in the list to be said and visible to others. Words that are not allowed will be marked in red text when typed out, and sending the message will replace the blocked word with a noise correlating to the Toon's species.

Sending messages will have the message appear over the Toon in a chat bubble. Typing a period in front of a message allows players to send their message as a thought bubble. Clicking on another Toon's nametag and selecting **Whisper** will allow the player to send a message that only the recipient will be able to read.

From the Chat menu, players can access  **SpeedChat**,  **Stickers**, and  **Unites** located at the bottom left of the Chatbox.

## Chat Tabs

The Chatbox is separated into 7 different tabs. Most tabs are situated at the top of the Chatbox, while the Group and Battle tab are on the right side of the Chatbox.

The Main section of the chat displays world messages, being messages sent from other Toons in that area. Messages from other tabs can be displayed here as well, with Whispers, Alerts, Clubs and Group messages shown by default. Players can select which types of messages are displayed here by accessing Main Tab Filtering in the Options menu.

## Chat Commands

Players can use chat commands by typing a forward slash (/) followed by the command name. There are 12 commands in total which can be viewed in a dropdown menu by typing a forward slash into the Chatbox.

The **Parameters** set the conditions of the command. Players will typically need to follow up the command with a parameter. After typing the command, players can use the dropdown menu to fill the parameter. An **Alias** is a different term or phrase that can be used to execute the same command.

Formatting for a command would look like: "/[command] [parameter]"
