Syntax

$botName

Parameters

None (passing one is an error).

Return value

• Type: String
• The username of the bot (e.g., MySuperBot), read from the context variable bot.username (filled from the bot account known to the gateway cache), otherwise bot.name.
• If neither is available, the text Bot.

Behavior

• Returns the username of the bot, not the server display name (nickname).
• No request is made to Discord by the function itself.

$sendMessage[Hello! I am $botName, a versatile bot created with BDFD. 💪]

Notes

• $botName is read-only. ($changeUsername[] does not rename the bot: it changes the server nickname of a user.)
• To get the ID of the bot, use $botID.
• For the avatar, use $userAvatar[$botID].
