Commands
Tides has 83 commands. Most exist as both a slash command and a t! one; the
music player is mostly prefix-only.
#Slash and prefix
Slash commands come from Discord's own picker, so they arrive with argument names and autocomplete. Prefix commands are typed as text and are faster once you know them.
Where a command has both, they do exactly the same thing and share the same case record,
the same templates and the same logging. t!ban and /ban are the same command.
#Changing the prefix
General settings → Bot prefix. It is per server, so if t! clashes with another bot
you can move Tides out of the way rather than the other way round.
/help shows your server's prefix, not the default.
#Turning commands off
Every command has a toggle on the commands page. A disabled command:
- disappears from Discord's slash picker for that server
- refuses if someone runs it anyway, which covers a stale client
- drops out of
/help
Turning off a whole module such as leveling, giveaways or tickets takes its commands with it.
#Renaming a slash command
A command can be registered under a different name in your server. /ban can be /punish
if that is what your staff already type. The old name stops working; only the one you set
is registered.
#Permissions
Commands are gated by Discord permissions first. /ban needs Ban Members, /purge needs
Manage Messages. If a member does not have the permission, Discord does not show them the
command at all.
On top of that:
| Layer | What it does |
|---|---|
| Per-command roles | Restrict a command to specific roles, beyond the Discord permission |
| Per-command channels | Restrict where a command can be used |
| Cooldowns | A per-user wait between uses |
| Auto-delete output | Remove the bot's reply after a set number of seconds |
Per-command roles and channels only apply when Advanced permission checking is on in General settings. Giveaway manager roles are the exception. They always gate
/giveaway.
#Custom commands
Beyond the built-in list you can create your own: a name, a response, and optional actions such as adding a role, removing one, or posting to a different channel. They share the cooldown and permission machinery above.
#Every command
Generated from the bot itself, so this list cannot fall behind what is actually installed.
