How to get started with ./,/;-commands
I am making a discord bot for a cult server of mine about bread, and there is a channel in that server where new members ping the person that recruited them. I want my bot to keep track of that and make a leaderboard of sorts, but I do not know how to make the bot do anything besides slash commands.
So I want my bot to
- Read a new message
- Then determine if it is a ping and sent by a user that hasn't ping there before
- And then react to that message with a special emoji to verify that is has been seen
How do I get started with that?

Since slashcommands are called that I am calling non-slashcommands dot-commands or comma-commands or semicolon-commands for clarit
Why can't this still be a slash command with a user option?
Otherwise you just listen to the messageCreate event, and look at the
message.content and message.mentionsNow that I think of it it could be, but then I would have to get an array of all the ppl in the server every time it is ran and I think it can be done more effiecently. I also just want to learn how to do them anyway so thats why I would like to do it like I describer
Because of autocomplete
Explain
Slash command user options do just that - allow people to select any user, and then sends that user to the bot
You dont need to configure it - in fact, you literally cant configure it
Have a look at the optional
mention option on the /tag command here for an example
Is there like an entry in the reference for that?
Stupid question of course there is
