Getting started
Discord utilizes different types of commands to interface with bots. The following explanations aim to explain these types.
Slash Commands
Simple text-based commands. Can be entered in any Text-Based-Channel.
Prefix message with a "Slash" (/) and begin typing the name of the command! This prefix and the styling as a code snippet will be used to highlight Slash Commands in this message.
For clarification, this will also highlight command options as "Slash Command only" by prefixing them with an underscore (_)
Context Menu Commands
"One click" commands. Listed under context (right click) menus, under the group "Apps".
Ideally, clicking on Users or Messages, you can apply any type of command with the press of a button. Comes with the downside of lacking further input capabilities.
Under the list of names of any given command, there may be a quoted string. These are meant to highlight context menu capabilities for the current command, by showcasing the commands name in the quote.
