Syntax

$isBot[(User ID)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
User ID	Optional. The user to check. If omitted or empty ($isBot, $isBot[]), the command author is checked. A non-numeric or non-positive value raises Invalid user ID.; an unknown user raises User not found.

Return Value

• Type: String "true" or "false"
• "true": The account is a bot.
• "false": The account is a normal user.
• Without an ID, an empty string if the host supplied neither the author.isBot nor the user.isBot context variable.

Behavior

• Without an ID, the engine does not query Discord: it returns the text of the author.isBot context variable, or else of user.isBot, as supplied by the host. Whether webhooks count as bots depends on the host.
• With an ID, the user is looked up through Discord.

Examples

Simple detection

$if[$isBot==true]
  $sendMessage[🤖 Detection: you are a bot!]
$else
  $sendMessage[👤 You are a human user.]
$endif

Check another user

$if[$isBot[$mentioned[1]]==true]
  $sendMessage[That user is a bot.]
$endif

Ignore bots

$if[$isBot==true]
  $stop
$endif
$sendMessage[Welcome $userName!] 

Conditional logging

$if[$isBot==true]
  $log[Command executed by the bot $userName (ID: $userID)]
$else
  $log[Command executed by the user $userName (ID: $userID)]
$endif

Notes

• Very useful for preventing bots from executing certain commands (anti-looping).
• Typically used with $stop to silently ignore executions triggered by other bots.
• Comparisons with == are case-sensitive: compare with lowercase true.
