[SUGGESTION] Posts in the Discord Channel

[BloodDragon2580]

Is there a way to make a message only visible to the admin? E.g. "/save" the post will be displayed to all users in the Discord Channel that the world has been saved.

I saw with another bot "Palbot" that it is only displayed for the person who executed the command. Not to mention that only certain messages were visible to all users.

Maybe it's a stupid question, but I'm still new to the whole Discord thing^^.

Yes, you can make messages only visible to the person who used the command, this is known as ephemeral messages, you can add it like so: await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed_message, ephemeral=True) to this line

If you'd so like, we don't know if this is something we'd want to do for the project globally, but feel free to add it yourself!

True not true Brandon made a typo

[KOOKIIEStudios]

Python's booleans (i.e. true-or-false data types) are capitalised: True/False

That's why the Python interpreter is confused by true here - since there's no variable with the name true defined in the repo

It works wonderfully, many thanks to you.
