Dynamic options for a slash command? Wizard-esque UI
is it possible to create a slash command that uses a technique similar to Autocomplete for the subsequent arguments (options) for the command?
e.g. if I have
/summon <monster> and there are bunch of options for monsters
- some have size or power
- some have color
- some have other options
Ideally it'd almost be like filling out a form, with each step populated as the user does it
- /summon dragon
- "fire"
- from a "volcano" (because fire)
- specifically "Hawaii" (because volcanos)
How does one do a dynamic wizard-esque interface like this using a slash command? Would an alternative idea be posting multiple epehmeral messages with the followup questions?4 Replies
- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
- Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts.
- Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question!
- Explain what exactly your issue is.
- Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
- Show your code!
- Issue solved? Press the button!alternately: is it possible to change some options from optional to required at runtime? In theory I could just do arg1,arg2, arg3 as optional and then just switch them to required depending on the input
Discord unfortunately does not allow anything dynamic here, so you would need to work around this somehow.
thanks for confirming. do you know offhand of any examples of sort of chaining slash-commands together, or other ways of doing multi-step wizard-like UIs like this?
