# Commands

> The /pov command — panel mode, direct-send mode, the ACE permission it requires, and how to rename it.

`nex_povrequest` registers a single command with two modes. Both modes require the ACE permission set in `Config.RequiredAce` (default `nex_povrequest.use`).

## Reference

| Command     | What it does                                                |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/pov`      | Opens the request panel                                     |
| `/pov [id]` | Instantly sends a request to the given server ID — no panel |

A chat suggestion is registered for the command, so typing `/pov` in chat shows usage help and the optional `id` argument.

## Details

### `/pov`

Opens the panel. The online player list is fetched first so the panel never opens empty. If you lack the permission, you get a `No permission.` notification instead.

### `/pov [id]`

Sends a request directly to the player with that server ID and reports the result as an ox\_lib notification (`POV request sent to ID %s.` on success). No reason is attached in this mode — use the panel if you want to add one.

The same server-side rules apply as in the panel: the target must be online, you cannot target yourself, and both [cooldowns](/nex_povrequest/configuration#cooldowns) are enforced.

## Renaming the command

The command name comes from `Config.UI.command` in `lua/config.lua`:

```lua theme={null}
Config.UI = {
    command = 'pov',   -- chat command that opens the panel (/pov)
    -- ...
}
```

Change it (lowercase, no leading slash) and `restart nex_povrequest` if it clashes with another resource.

## Permission

Grant access in `server.cfg`:

```cfg theme={null}
add_ace group.admin nex_povrequest.use allow
```

Set `Config.RequiredAce = nil` to open the command to everyone. See [Configuration → Permission](/nex_povrequest/configuration#permission).
