# Examples

The following are basic usage examples for commands, the command options and the CommandEvent. Please note that, in each of these examples, the value returned from [`commandEvent.getSender()`](https://docs.lukkit.net/commands/commandevent) is always a player.

## Command Options

This example contains a command in which all command option specifications have been filled.

```lua
plugin.addCommand({name="command", description="Execute the command /command", usage="/command", permission="commands.command", permissionMessage="You cannot execute /command", maxArgs=0, minArgs=0, runAsync=false}, function(commandEvent)
    commandEvent.getSender():sendMessage("You executed /" .. commandEvent.getCommand());
end)
```

## Arguments

This example contains a command that requires arguments to be specified from the player. The list of arguments is returned when calling [`commandEvent.getArgs()`](https://docs.lukkit.net/commands/commandevent) and thus we can use `[1]` to get the first argument that was specified.

```lua
plugin.addCommand({name="command", description="Execute the command /command", usage="/command <message>", minArgs=1}, function(commandEvent)
    commandEvent.getSender():sendMessage("You executed /" .. commandEvent.getCommand() .. " with the message: " .. commandEvent.getArgs()[1])
end)
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lukkit.net/commands/examples.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
