Talk:Unselect (Slash Command)

The description the original devs used for this command was “unselects currently selected thing” as found in the game data files.

I think the description was good enough, even if a bit vague. If you really want to split hairs, “Unselects the target displayed in the Target Window.” is redundant enough to have been written by the Department of Redundancy Department! ;) I mean, does the command unselect a target that is not in the Target Window? Will it only unselect a target if it’s in the Target Window? What if the Target Window is closed? LOL Sorry, just being playful.

Honestly, six or half a dozen… it’s all pretty similar. However, I did try to retain the Dev’s original descriptions whenever possible. I did change the descriptions in some cases such as when the command’s function didn’t match the description at all, but those were rare. For historical purposes and continuity, I tried to stay with whatever wording the devs used. I did that also as a bit of a homage, honoring the original creators of the game. It’s not like the devs’ words are sacred or anything, but I think they carry more weight than the average person.

If you wanted to retain the devs words, you could always explain what the command does as a secondary explanation in the bulleted notes. I’ve done that a lot. For example, https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/LeagueWithdrawTeam_(Slash_Command)
