Report command
Here's a step-by-step instruction on how to create a simple report command.
1. Setting trigger
Users are meant to report using a word command !report, so let's set a corresponding trigger
2. Getting user ID
Let's begin by loading the ID of provided user. For that we will use a combination of two functions:
$message- to load user input$findMember- to get the id regardless of input format
and save them in a $let variable.
// $message[1] returns the first parameter
// $findMember[...;no] returns user id or undefined
$let[reportedUser;$findMember[$message[1];no]]3. Loading reason
Users should be able to describe what behavior they want to report, let's save the rest of parameters to a new variable.
$let[reason;$message[2+]]4. Send report
As we have all data stored and ready, we will procceed to send the report. For that we will use:
$channelID- to change channel name to ID$channelSendMessage- to send a message to a different channel
$let[reportsChannel;$channelID[reports]]
$channelSendMessage[$reportsChannel;$mention has reported <@!$reportedUser>, for: $reason.
]5. Confirmation message
So far, the command is sending a correct message to a different channel. Let's also send a message to the reporting user.
$mention you report has been submitted, thank you for keeping our community safe.Result
