Syntax

$authorIcon[url;(embedIndex)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
url	URL of the image to use as the author’s icon.
embedIndex	Optional. Index of the targeted embed, from 1 to 10 (1 by default, also when empty). Any other value is an error.

Return value

Modifies the response in progress. Returns nothing.

When to use $authorIcon[]

• You have already set the author with $author[name] and want to add or change the icon without modifying the name.
• The icon depends on a dynamic variable (avatar, role, etc.).
• You want a modular and readable structure.

Examples

Adding the user’s avatar as an icon

$author[$username]
$authorIcon[$authorAvatar]
$title[Profile of $username]
$description[
**ID:** $authorID
**Account created on:** $creationDate[$authorID]
]
$color[#5865F2]

Different icon based on role

$author[Moderation Message]
$if[$hasRole[$authorID;admin]]
$authorIcon[https://cdn.example.com/admin-badge.png]
$elseif[$hasRole[$authorID;modo]]
$authorIcon[https://cdn.example.com/modo-badge.png]
$else
$authorIcon[$authorAvatar]
$endif
$title[Warning]
$description[Please respect the server rules.]
$color[#ED4245]

Notes

• The icon is only sent when the same embed also has an author name ($author[]). The order of the two calls does not matter, but an icon without a name is dropped.
• The URL must point to a publicly accessible image (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP).
• To change the name or add a link, use $author[] (which redefines everything) or $authorURL[] respectively.
