Add a custom console command.

Trying to add a command with the name of a game command or the name of a custom command that is already in use will result in an error.

This example command will register a custom event called print_tick that prints the current tick to either the player issuing the command or to everyone on the server, depending on the command parameter:

commands.add_command("print_tick", nil, function(command)
  if command.player_index ~= nil and command.parameter == "me" then
    game.get_player(command.player_index).print(command.tick)
  else
    game.print(command.tick)
  end
end)

This shows the usage of the table that gets passed to any function handling a custom command. This specific example makes use of the tick and the optional player_index and parameter fields. The user is supposed to either call it without any parameter ("/print_tick") or with the "me" parameter ("/print_tick me").

Remove a custom console command.
