Syntax

$userID[(Username)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Username	Optional. A username, or name#discriminator (the discriminator is checked; #0 or #0000 for an account without one). The match is case-insensitive and searches the members of the current server. If omitted or empty ($userID, $userID[]), the user of the context is used.

Return Value

• Type: String (the Discord ID, digits only)
• Without a name: the value of the context variable user.id; if that variable is not set, the value of author.id; if neither is set, an empty string.
• With a name: the ID of the first member found, or an empty string if nobody matches (no error).

Behavior

• Without a name, reads user.id first and falls back to author.id; it does not call Discord.
• With a name, lists the members of the server through Discord, which can be slow on large servers.

Examples

Display the user ID

$title[Your User ID]
$description[**ID:** `$userID`]
$color[#5865F2]

Use the ID in a condition

$if[$userID==123456789012345678]
  $sendMessage[Hello administrator!]
$else
  $sendMessage[Hello user!]
$endif

Find a member by name

$sendMessage[ID: $userID[$message[1]]]

Difference with $authorID

• $userID reads user.id, then author.id.
• $authorID reads author.id, then user.id.

Both return the same value whenever only one of the two variables is set or when both hold the same user.

Notes

• Use $userID in comparisons with $if[] to create commands reserved for specific users.
