Syntax

$ping

Note: This function takes no parameters.

Return Value

The text of the bot.ping context variable, or 0 when that variable is absent. The engine’s standard command execution fills bot.ping with 0 (no caller passes a measured latency), so in practice $ping returns 0 unless the host running the script supplies a real value.

Examples

Simple ping command

🏓 Pong! Latency: $ping ms

Notes

• $ping takes no argument; any argument is refused (“Invalid argument count”).
• Do not rely on $ping to measure latency: check the value on your own bot before using it in a condition.
• To check the bot’s uptime, use $uptime[].
