##Custom Reactions

Important

• For modifying global custom reactions, the ones which will work across all the servers your bot is connected to, you must be a Bot Owner.
  You must also use the commands for adding, deleting and listing these reactions in a direct message with the bot.
• For modifying local custom reactions, the ones which will only work on the server that they are added on, require you to have the Administrator permission.
  You must also use the commands for adding, deleting and listing these reactions in the server you want the custom reactions to work on.

###Commands and Their Use

Command Name	Description	Example
.acr	Add a custom reaction with a trigger and a response. Running this command in a server requries the Administrator permission. Running this command in DM is Bot Owner only, and adds a new global custom reaction. Guide here: http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/Custom Reactions/	.acr "hello" Hi there, %user%!
.lcr	Lists a page of global or server custom reactions (15 reactions per page). Running this command in a DM will list the global custom reactions, while running it in a server will list that server's custom reactions.	.lcr 1
.dcr	Deletes a custom reaction based on the provided index. Running this command in a server requires the Administrator permission. Running this command in DM is Bot Owner only, and will delete a global custom reaction.	.dcr 5

Now that we know the commands let's take a look at an example of adding a command with .acr,

.acr "Nice Weather" It sure is, %user%!

This command can be split into two different arguments:

• The trigger "Nice Weather"
• And the response, It sure is, %user%!

Because we wanted the trigger to be more than one word, we had to wrap it with quotation marks, "Like this" otherwise, only the first word would have been recognised as the trigger, and the second word would have been recognised as part of the response.

There's no special requirement for the formatting of the response, so we could just write it in exactly the same way we want it to respond, albeit with a placeholder - which will be explained in this next section

###Placeholders!

There are currently three different placeholders which we will look at, with more placeholders potentially coming in the future.

Placeholder	How the placeholder works	Examples
%mention%	The %mention% placeholder is triggered when you type @botname - It's important to note that if you've given the bot a nickname, this trigger won't work!	.acr "%mention% Hello" Hello! > User input: @botname Hello | Bot Replies: Hello!
%user%	The %user% placeholder mentions the person who said the command	.acr "Who am I" You are %user%!
%rng%	The %rng% generates a random number between 0 and 10	.acr Random %rng%
