$memberID

The function $memberID returns the Discord ID of the member who triggered the command. It is functionally equivalent to $userID but explicitly tied to the concept of a “member of the server”.

Syntax

$memberID

Return Value

• Type : Snowflake (numeric string of 17-19 digits)
• The unique ID of the member on Discord

Behavior

• $memberID takes no arguments.
• In most cases, $memberID and $userID return the same value.
• The distinction is conceptual: $memberID refers to the member of the server, whereas $userID refers to the Discord user.

Examples

Member profile

$title[Member: $memberNick]
$description[
**Member ID:** $memberID
**Permissions:** $memberPerms
]
$color[#5865F2]
$sendMessage[]

Notes

• In BDFD, $memberID and $userID are interchangeable for the triggering user.
• $memberID is useful for semantic clarity in the code (when working explicitly with members).
• For uniqueness and permanence, the member ID is identical to the user ID.
