BGSBot not accepting a role id #42

Closed rodneywmcbride closed 5 years ago

rodneywmcbride commented 5 years ago

Is there a limit to number of characters in a role name?

I created a role named BGSBot_Manager and when I enter \@BGSBot_Manager, I get <@somenumber>_manager. BGSBot will not accept the number when attempting to add a new admin role.

Could you provide a screenshot of the command and the error response?

Below is a screenshot of the out from the \@BGSBot_Manager cmd and the error I get when attempting to use the role id.

First of all there is no @BGSBot_Manager command. The procedure to add an admin role is detailed as such

An admin role is able to execute all commands. Find which role you want to add as an admin role. You can add many roles as admin roles. Next you need to find the id of the admin role(s). To do that prepend the mention of your role with . Eg. if your role is admin, you need to use \@admin to see the id.

So, you need to identify a role on your server that you want to have admin perms on the bot. Then to get the id of that role, mention the role in the server adding a \ before it. Then use the id with the @bgsbot adminroles add command. Hope that helps.

P.S. You can also join our discord to get quicker help at https://discord.gg/YksSXke

No, BGSBot_Manager is the name of the role I created that I want to add as an adminrole.

The first entry you see in the screenshot is the output from "\@BGSBot_Manager", the name of the role that I was trying to get the role id from.

I just noticed that github is stripping the backslash off from my comment.

The cmd is backslash@BGSBot_Manager

Hmm...that's really weird. One thing for sure, it's not really an issue of bgsbot. Discord is having issues with giving our the id for the role. But I would like to help you out regardless. Could you join my server, temporarily even, so that I can easily assist you. Invite linked above.

SayakMukhopadhyay commented 5 years ago

Oh, I think I know the issue. Make sure that the bgsbot_manager role is mentionable. You won't be able to get the id of a role of its not set to mentionable. You can turn off mentions after getting the id.

rodneywmcbride commented 5 years ago

Yes, that was it. I got the correct role id and the bgsbot adminroles add worked perfectly.

Thanks for the quick responses on this.

Issue resolved.
