W8011 warning

Slash command collides with a Blizzard command

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: with --deny-warnings

The slash command is one of the game's own commands, such as /reload. Your handler and the game's would compete for it, and players may lose the command they know.

Pick a name of your own, ideally prefixed with your addon's name.

Example

× failswowlua

import slash from "wowlua:slash" @slash("/reload")local function reload(msg: string) print(msg) end

✓ compileswowlua

import slash from "wowlua:slash" @slash("/myreload")local function reload(msg: string) print(msg) end

The compiler reports it like this:

warning[W8011]: `/reload` is one of the game's slash commands
  ┌─ src/main.wowlua:3:8
  │

  │        ^^^^^^^^^ taken by the game
