Adds a select menu of the server’s roles to the response message. The user can choose one or several roles.
Syntax

Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
customId |
Custom ID that identifies the menu when it is used (1 to 100 characters). | Yes |
placeholder |
Text displayed when nothing is selected. | No |
minValues |
Minimum number of roles to select, integer from 0 to 25 (default: 1, also when empty). | No |
maxValues |
Maximum number of roles to select, integer from 1 to 25 (default: 1, also when empty). It must not be lower than minValues (Minimum cannot exceed maximum.). |
No |
disabled |
yes/true to disable the menu, no/false (default, also when empty) otherwise. Any other value raises Expected yes or no. |
No |
messageID |
ID of an existing message sent by the bot (a positive integer, otherwise Invalid message ID.). The menu is added to that message instead of the response being built. |
No |
Description
The selected role IDs are read, in the script run for the interaction, with $getRoleSelectRoleID[index], $getRoleSelectRoleIDs[separator;(limit)] and $getRoleSelectRoleCount.
The menu always gets its own action row, and a message holds at most 5 rows (A message supports at most 5 component rows.). Do not write $addActionRow before a select menu: the empty row it creates stays in the message and the response fails with Invalid component row size.
The menu belongs to the response message of the script (the text written in the script and the embed functions), not to a message sent with $sendMessage[].
Examples
Role assignment
Select your main role
$addRoleSelect[menu_role;Choose your role]
Multiple self-roles
Choose the notifications to receive
$addRoleSelect[menu_notifs;Notifications;1;3]
Disabled menu
Registrations are closed
$addRoleSelect[menu_role_disabled;Selection closed;1;1;yes]
Handling the interaction
The script run when the menu is used reads the choice and identifies the menu with $customID:
$if[$customID==menu_role]
$giveRole[$authorID;$getRoleSelectRoleID[1]]
You have received the role <@&$getRoleSelectRoleID[1]>!
$endif
Notes
- The values are Discord role IDs; use
<@&ID>to mention a role. - A single select menu per action row.
