Chatbot Variables

Introduction to Variables in Chat Commands

Chat commands support variables in a dynamic way. Variables are placeholders that can be used in chat commands to represent a specific value or piece of information. When a command is triggered, these variables are replaced with the actual values they represent.

For example, in the command ${uptime shroud}, shroud is a variable representing a username. When this command is executed, the uptime of the user shroud is returned.

Variables make chat commands more flexible and powerful, allowing for a wide range of interactions and functionalities.

In addition to the ${} syntax, we also support the $() syntax for variables. Both of these syntaxes can be used interchangeably in chat commands. For instance, the command ${uptime shroud} can also be written as $(uptime shroud).
