Admin Commands

This page documents the commands available for admins of servers in which the bot is running. Users who do not have admin permissions in the Discord server will not be able to run these commands.

Channel Reveals

At the end of the game, you may wish to allow your players to see the other characters’ clues and messages. To do this, run !show_all.

Resetting the server

You can wipe all messages from the server using !wipe. This is useful if, for example, you called !init twice and now have two copies of each character and motive card in the clues channels. Note that after running this you will have to start setup again from the beginning.

!wipe accepts three different kinds of optional arguments, listed below:

• Text channel names or tags, e.g., discussion or #bot-channel

• Names of channel categories, e.g., Texts

• Integer indexes for channel categories, from top to bottom, starting with 0. Thus, General/OOC would be 0, and so on.

If given a partial channel/category name, such as gen, the bot will convert it to lowercase before attempting to find a category whose lowercased name contains the given substring. If this fails, it will then attempt the same with text channels. If neither is found, the command will abort. The command will also abort if given an integer index not in the range [0, n-1], where n is the number of channel categories.

The above can be mix and matched when calling !wipe. For example, !wipe #bot-channel 2 will wipe the bot channel and all of the text message channels.

!reset_perms sets the permissions for each channel back to the default. This is mainly used if !show_all was called by accident.

To wipe all messages and reset channel permissions in one step, run !reset. The server will then be the same as if you made a new server from the template (unless you changed channel permissions by hand). The main purpose of this function is for clearing a server when testing the bot. If starting a new game, consider making a new server and simply adding the bot again.
