Running commands through Rob

If you do not know what the Rob requests are then go read what they are and return, you need to know what they are to understand and make use of the command system. Commands are essentially a form of orders but with a somewhat more interesting result. Commands are executed via the Rob Request system as if they were an order, the results then posted up in the reply to your request.

Each command has a name and one or more things that must be listed after it. The name must be the first thing on the line and is optionally ended with a colon. Information given to the command is separated by commas. If you are unsure of how this works, try copying and pasting some of the examples into your Rob Requests topic and you'll see for yourself.

Path

The "path" command returns information on how long it will take to get from the start point to the end point at varying speeds. As many locations can be given as wanted though there must be at least two locations. A location can be either a city name or a coordinate. Rob is able to detect with the path command that a comma in a coordinate does not mean that the next number is a new location, you should thus feel free to continue using commas in the coordinate entries. Rob will also accept full stops/periods (.) as coordinate x/y separators, you can even mix and match within the same command.

Rob will tell you how far each section of the journey is and how long it would take on foot, horseback or by boat. Rob is not able to take into account weather or rough terrain. The final result may look incorrect but only because all results are rounded to integers.
