Return value

• Type: Character string (URL)
• URL of the avatar of the author (Discord CDN), read from Discord for the author’s user ID
• The default avatar URL if the author does not have a custom avatar

Behavior

• $authorAvatar takes no arguments (passing one is an error).
• Returns the same value as $userAvatar[$authorID] ($userAvatar requires a user ID).
• It is the global avatar, not the server avatar.
• If the author ID is missing from the context or the user cannot be found, the error Invalid user ID. / User not found. is raised.
