The {react} variable allows you to make Circle react to a Custom Command response with the chosen emoji!
The {react} variable is currently limited to Custom Commands only. You can have a maximum of 3 reactions.
{react:unicodeEmoji} - React to the response with a default Discord emoji. (ex: 😄)
{react:customEmojiID} - React to the response with one of your servers custom emojis!
To react with a default Discord emoji, you need to get the unicode version of the emoji first. To do this, type the emoji into your chat box, and then put a \ before it (for example, \:smile:), and then send the message. Copy the unicode emoji and put it into your react variable (for example, {react:😄}).
To react with a custom emoji, you can use the name or ID of the emoji. If you choose to use the name of the emoji, please note that if you ever change the name of the emoji you'll need to edit the Custom Command to match the new name. To get the ID of a custom emoji, you need to type the emoji into your chat box, and then put a \ before it (for example, \:circle:), and then send the message. Copy the emoji ID and put it into your react variable (for example, {react:962300635770945606}).
You can only make Circle react with your servers custom emojis!
An "argument" refers to simply a word inside of your command message. Each word after the command name is called an "argument".
For example purposes, we'll use c!hi Hi Circle as the command. In this command, "Hi" would be the first argument and "Circle" would be the second argument. Circle parses arguments as {N}, where "N" is the argument number. So, to get the first argument, you can use {1}. For example, using {1} in this command would output "Hi" because "Hi" is our first argument, remember? Then of course, {2} in this command would output "Circle" because "Circle" is our second argument.
Circle also allows you to specify users or channels to parse when using argument variables. You need to simply tell Circle whether you're trying to resolve a user or a channel (which is all explained below).
When using arguments, Circle will need to understand what you are trying to parse when you are using arguments with regular variables. For example, instead of doing {user.username}, you would do {1.user.username}. Or instead of {channel.name}, you would do {1.channel.name}
For example purposes, we'll use c!view @Circle #general as the command, where the response is:
Circle would output the following response in your channel:
This is because Circle will resolve @Circle (which is {1} in your command) as "Circle" (because that is her username), and Circle will resolve #general (which is {2} in your command) as "general" (because that is the channels name).
Joining an argument is easy to do and allows you to easily output all arguments that a user provides without typing out each and every one.
Joining an argument works by simply putting a + after the argument number inside of the argument variable, and then Circle will join all arguments after the argument you chose to join.
For example purposes, we'll use c!hello I'm Circle, the best bot ever! as the command. If we used {2+} here, Circle will start joining arguments on the 2nd argument, "Circle", therefore the {2+} argument will output "Circle, the best bot ever!". Then {3+} would output "the best bot ever!", and so on.
Here's an example command below, and it will explain each part of what the command will do.
Command Name: c!give
Command Response:
Command Usage: c!give Flatbird presents and hugs
The {1} represents the first argument, "Flatbird", in the command message.
The {2+} variable represents the second argument and all arguments after it ("presents and hugs") in the command message. If you used just {2}, however, it would simply represent the second argument on it's own, "presents".
Circle allows you to run any default command in your Custom Commands. To use a command, simply add the command in brackets like so: {c!<command> <arguments>}
If you wanted to run the kick command for example: {c!kick {1+}}
This will perform the kick command with the arguments you provided.
Command variables will bypass the command permissions for the command that you use, even if they're not meant to be able to use it. This is because Circle will ignore these permissions and only listen for your Custom Command permissions instead.
You can only use a max of five command variables per Custom Command. You cannot execute Custom Commands with command variables.

Argument Variables
An "argument" refers to simply a word inside of your command message. Each word after the command name is called an "argument".

Circle parses arguments as {N}, where "N" is the argument number. So, to get the first argument, you can use {1}. For example, using {1} in this command would output "Hi" because "Hi" is our first argument, remember? Then of course, {2} in this command would output "Circle" because "Circle" is our second argument.
Using user and channel argument variables
Circle also allows you to specify users or channels to parse when using argument variables. You need to simply tell Circle whether you're trying to resolve a user or a channel (which is all explained below).
When using arguments, Circle will need to understand what you are trying to parse when you are using arguments with regular variables. For example, instead of doing {user.username}, you would do {1.user.username}. Or instead of {channel.name}, you would do {1.channel.name}
For example purposes, we'll use c!view @Circle #general as the command, where the response is:
{1.user.username}
{2.channel.name}Circle would output the following response in your channel:
Circle
generalThis is because Circle will resolve @Circle (which is {1} in your command) as "Circle" (because that is her username), and Circle will resolve #general (which is {2} in your command) as "general" (because that is the channels name).
Joining arguments
Joining an argument is easy to do and allows you to easily output all arguments that a user provides without typing out each and every one.
Joining an argument works by simply putting a + after the argument number inside of the argument variable, and then Circle will join all arguments after the argument you chose to join.
For example purposes, we'll use c!hello I'm Circle, the best bot ever! as the command. If we used {2+} here, Circle will start joining arguments on the 2nd argument, "Circle", therefore the {2+} argument will output "Circle, the best bot ever!". Then {3+} would output "the best bot ever!", and so on.
Example
Here's an example command below, and it will explain each part of what the command will do.
Command Name: c!give
Command Response:
You gave {1} a {2+}! How generous.Command Usage: c!give Flatbird presents and hugs
The {1} represents the first argument, "Flatbird", in the command message.
The {2+} variable represents the second argument and all arguments after it ("presents and hugs") in the command message. If you used just {2}, however, it would simply represent the second argument on it's own, "presents".
Command Variables
Circle allows you to run any default command in your Custom Commands. To use a command, simply add the command in brackets like so: {c!<command> <arguments>}
If you wanted to run the kick command for example: {c!kick {1+}}
This will perform the kick command with the arguments you provided.
Command variables will bypass the command permissions for the command that you use, even if they're not meant to be able to use it. This is because Circle will ignore these permissions and only listen for your Custom Command permissions instead.
You can only use a max of five command variables per Custom Command. You cannot execute Custom Commands with command variables.
