$allowMention

Enables mentions in the response. When replying, the user will be explicitly pinged/mentioned.

Syntax

$allowMention

Description

$allowMention is a flag (without arguments) used before $sendMessage, generally in combination with $reply. It explicitly enables the mention/ping of the user in a response.

Although the default behavior of $reply already includes a ping, $allowMention allows making the intent explicit and overriding any default configurations.

Examples

Response with explicit ping

$reply
$allowMention
$sendMessage[Hey $username, look at this!]

In an interaction

$onInteraction
$if[$customID==btn_alert]
  $reply
  $allowMention
  $sendMessage[⚠️ Important alert for you!]
$endif

Response with embeds and mention

$reply
$allowMention
$newEmbed[title=Attention;description=This requires your attention;color=#E74C3C]
$sendMessage[]

Comparison
