Variables args

$args[]

Accesses the arguments passed to the current command. Without parameters, returns all arguments. With an index, returns a specific argument (0-indexed). With an option fallback, returns a slash command option if the argument is not provided.

Syntax

$args / $args[index] / $args[index;option]

$args is the primary mechanism for accessing user-provided input in text commands. Arguments are the words that follow the command name, separated by whitespace.

Indexing

Arguments are 0-indexed: the first word after the command name is at index 0. If the user types !command hello world:

$args[0] → "hello"
$args[1] → "world"
$args (without index) → "hello world"

Requesting an index beyond the available arguments returns an empty string — no error is raised.

Slash Command Fallback

When used in hybrid commands (supporting both text and slash invocation), $args[index;option] provides a graceful fallback:

If a text argument exists at the given index, it is returned.
If no text argument exists, the slash command option named option is returned instead.
If neither exists, an empty string is returned.

This allows the same command code to handthe both invocation methods seamlessly.
