Commands
Setup and utility commands. Examples use the default
! prefix - substitute your server's if you've changed it.
Command names are case-insensitive.
Server & channel setup
These need the Discord Manage Server permission (except
channelinfo, which anyone can use). They work in any channel,
active or not - otherwise you couldn't turn a channel on!
!setchannel <property> [value]
Aliases: channel, sc. Sets a per-channel option.
The value defaults to on if omitted; accepted values are
on/true/yes and
off/false/no.
| Property | Effect |
|---|---|
active |
The master switch. Dice rolling, choose,
coin, and the character generator only work in channels
where this is on. Off by default - a freshly invited
Dicebot does nothing until you run
!setchannel active on. |
bang |
Every roll in this channel explodes, as if it ended in
!. About exploding dice → |
sorted |
Every roll in this channel is sorted, as if it ended in
s. |
shortoutput |
Compact one-line results instead of the full write-up. Output styles → |
!setchannel active on
!sc shortoutput yes
!sc sorted off
!clearchannel <property>
Aliases: cchannel, cc. Shorthand for turning one
of the properties above off: !cc bang.
!channelinfo
Alias: ci. Anyone can use it. Replies with an embed showing the
current channel's settings: Active, Default Bang, Default Sorted, and Short
Output.
!setprefix <character>
Aliases: prefix, sp. Changes the server's command
prefix - a single character. !setprefix ; makes it
;2d6 from then on.
!setDiceMode <mode>
Aliases: dicemode, sdm, dm. Controls
how eagerly messages are scanned for dice, server-wide. The four modes -
OnlyPrefixed (default), PrefixOptional, OffsetOptional, and CatchAll - are
explained on the dice page.
Utility
These require the channel to be active.
!choose <options>
Alias: pick. Picks one option for you. If your list contains a
comma it's split on commas, otherwise on spaces:
!choose pizza, fish and chips, curry
!pick red blue green
Reply: I choose curry!
!coin [count]
Aliases: flip, toss. Flips one coin, or several:
!coin 7. For more than five flips you get a heads/tails tally up
front. Like dice, an absurd count that would overflow Discord's message limit
is politely refused.
!help
Alias: website. Links you right back here. Works in any
channel, active or not.
