Syntax

$memberNick[(userID)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
userID	(Optional) The ID of the member. If omitted or empty, the author of the command is used. A value that is not a positive integer raises Invalid user ID.

Return Value

• Type : String of characters
• Without argument, the first value that exists among the context variables member.nick, member.displayName, author.displayName, author.username is returned (the host supplies them).
• Otherwise (or with an argument) the member is fetched from Discord: the server nickname if set, otherwise the username. The result is therefore not an empty string when the member exists.
• User is not a member of this guild. is raised if the user is not a member of the server.

Behavior

• $memberNick and $nickname are different functions: $nickname always fetches the member and falls back to the user’s display name (global name, else username), and it raises an error when the user is not a member.

Examples

Message with nickname

$sendMessage[Hello $memberNick!]

Member embed

$title[Member Information]
$author[$memberNick;$authorAvatar]
$description[
**ID:** $memberID
**Permissions:** $memberPerms
]
$color[#5865F2]

Notes

• $displayName returns the global display name of a user, or the username if there is none.
