Flags & Debug alternativeParsing

$alternativeParsing

The $alternativeParsing function is accepted so that scripts written for BDFD still run. In this engine its handler ignores any argument and returns an empty string: it does not change how the code is parsed.

Syntax

$alternativeParsing[(value)]

Parameters

The engine accepts zero or one argument and ignores it.

Return value

An empty string.

Behavior

  • No parsing mode is switched: the code is parsed and executed in the same way with or without this function.
  • It never raises an error for a valid call.

Examples

Script ported from BDFD

$alternativeParsing
$sendMessage[Hello]

Notes

  • Do not add it expecting a different handling of brackets or special characters.
  • Related no-op functions: $optOff, $disableInnerSpaceRemoval, $disableSpecialEscaping.

Try it

Paste an example into the playground to preview its message (functions that act on Discord are not run), or build the same thing with blocks.
