Use customizable in-game commands allowing users to register their character in the CAD, no account or CAD access required!

Once created, their civilian character will be searchable and can be used to [automatically register their vehicle](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/erlc/vehicle-registrations).

## In-Game Registration Command Configuration

Register a character via a custom in-game command.

### Persistent Character Creation

<details>

<summary>In-Game Persistent Character Creation Command</summary>

When the character creation command is ran a new character will be created in the CAD. The character will include the first name, last name, and avatar photo.

If the user already has an in-game character created, it will be replaced by this new character.

</details>

### Temporary Registration

<details>

<summary>In-Game Temporary Registration Command</summary>

Running the temporary character creation command will perform the same actions as above. However, the civilian character record will be automatically **deleted after 24 hours**.

## Using the In-Game Commands

When in-game, users can run the customizable character creation commands followed by the **First** and **Last** name.

Ex: `;civ John Doe`

Once the character has been created in the CAD, users will be notified by an optional in-game message.

Once a character has been created, users can [register their vehicle with a single command](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/erlc/vehicle-registrations).
