Read a command
Split a typed command into its name, its words, and the rest, like !give @Sam 50 for helping.

In a flow
“Works out read a command whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
!give @Sam 50 for helping → give · [@Sam, 50, for, helping] · rest after 2: for helping
What it does
Split a typed command into its name, its words, and the rest, like !give @Sam 50 for helping. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 6 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: split a typed command into its name, its words, and the rest, like !give @Sam 50 for helping.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.

The text to read, like a message.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
