# Map commands

#### :crown: **Admin only commands**

#### :bulb: **General command for everyone**

<mark style="color:red;">**Required**</mark> parameters will be in \[Square brackets]

<mark style="color:green;">**Optional**</mark> parameters will be in (Curly brackets)

## :crown: Set Maps

If your competitive game features multiple maps (e.g., Valorant, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege), consider incorporating these into your <mark style="color:red;">InHouseQueue</mark> server configuration. You can add maps individually, including the map name, game mode (if applicable), and an image URL for the map.

When enabling maps, you choose a **map selection mode** that determines how a map is picked each game. See [Map Selection](/docs/features/map-selection.md) for a detailed breakdown of each mode.

```
/maps enable [map_selection] [game]

/maps disable [game]

/maps add [name] (game_mode) [image_url] [game]

/maps remove [map_name]

/list_maps
```

`/maps enable` - Enable maps for your selected game and choose a selection mode: **Random**, **Vote**, or **Ban**.

`/maps disable` - Disables maps. Maps will no longer be sent.

`/maps add` - Add a map to your server pool.

`/maps remove` - Remove a map from your server pool.

`/list_maps` - List all maps available on your server.

### Map Selection Modes

When running `/maps enable`, you will be asked to choose a selection mode:

| Mode       | Description                                                                              |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Random** | A random map from your pool is automatically selected when a game begins.                |
| **Vote**   | All players in the match vote for their preferred map. The map with the most votes wins. |
| **Ban**    | Team representatives take turns banning maps until one remains.                          |

For a full explanation of how voting and banning work, see the [Map Selection](/docs/features/map-selection.md) feature page.

### How it works:

1. First, enable maps, choose a selection mode, and select the game you'd like to allow it for.

2. Add a map. Fill in all the relevant fields. Adding an image URL is recommended! You can use sites such as IMGUR to host images. You can reuse the instructions [here](/docs/premium/premium-commands/tier-1.md#update-banner) to learn how to generate a URL for your image.

3. Add more maps! Repeat the processes until you have your desired number of maps

4. That's it! When a game begins, the map selection process kicks in based on the mode you chose. For **Random**, a map is picked automatically. For **Vote** and **Ban**, a temporary channel is created where players can participate before the game lobby is set up.

5. Anyone on the server can run `/list_maps` maps. All other map commands can only be run by Admins, or discord roles that have been [granted ](/docs/commands/server-commands.md#grant-admin-commands-to-moderators-helpers)permissions.
