Basic Usage

Requirements

• Git
• Cargo (Rustup)

Step 1 - Build the project

Simply do cargo build --release. It might take a while.

Step 2 - Write the Script that Igneous should follow

The script format is simple. There are 3 command types:

• T!bot? are you there? - wait for anyone (including other bots) to type the preset string "bot? are you there?"
• R!yeah, I'm here - reply with the preset string "yeah, I'm here"
• IMG![images/bot-selfie.png] - reply with image

All commands must have a timeout (the timeout can be 0.0) after the command executes: T!bot? are you there?+3.0 - wait 3 seconds after the user types the preset string

If the first command is a trigger, then the bot will only become active when the requirement for input is met. Otherwise, any message will activate the bot.

A simple ping-pong bot:

T!bot? are you there?+2.0
R!yeah, I'm here+0.0
T!ok+2.0
R!soooooo, why did you call me?+0.0
IMG![Confused.png]+0.0

Save the file.

Step 3 - Run

Use the following command to run the bot:

DISCORD_TOKEN="<your discord bot token>" ./target/release/Igneous <path to your script file>
