# Subscriptions
# What are subscriptions?
Subscriptions are a super powerful feature that allow you to get near realtime updates when things change in the game!
# Why are subscriptions useful?
Subscriptions are useful for everything from keeping on top of treaty changes and new alliances, to knowing when a new nation joins your alliance and when someone heads out to Vacation Mode for a while!
# How can I subscribe to an event?
Check out the /subscribe
command for the
various event commands! Currently, Rift supports the following events:
NATION_CREATE
NATION_DELETE
NATION_UPDATE
ALLIANCE_CREATE
ALLIANCE_DELETE
,TREATY_CREATE
TREATY_DELETE
WAR_CREATE
FORUM_POST_CREATE
# How can I filter events?
Obviously if you subscribe to an event raw you'll get a lot of events, so of
course there's a way to filter them! All NATION
, ALLIANCE
, and WAR
events
support condition
arguments using Rift's conditions to
determine what events will be sent. If the condition evaluates to True, then it
is sent, otherwise the event is ignored.
The root object of NATION
and WAR
events is a nation
and the root object of ALLIANCE
events is an alliance.
