FAQ

Frequently answered questions (and their answers).

What is Dogbot's purpose?

Nothing, really. Dogbot is my "main" Discord bot that I am developing, and will be constantly updated with new features. It is a generic bot that isn't meant for one purpose, but it has many commands and features that fit into many categories.

Another one?

Sorry, but yes.

Who is Dogbot targeted towards?

Dogbot is targeted towards experienced bot users and competent server owners. You should know what a parameter is, and have a good understanding of Discord's permission system.

I try to run a command, but it doesn't do anything!

If a command does nothing, these scenarios are possible:

1. The command you are trying to run has a cooldown and you are violating it. In other words, you are running that command too quickly. Stop that.
2. The bot doesn't have the proper permissions it needs to do that. Most of the time, Dogbot will try to tell you, but can sometimes fail.
3. You aren't the owner of the bot.
4. You don't have the proper permissions to do that. Dogbot will not tell you when this happens to prevent random users from attempting to execute destructive commands in your server, and getting error messages.
5. The command is not enabled through a configuration key. Run d?config permitted for a list of permitted configuration keys.

For detailed information on commands, run d?help. If the command does not show when running d?help, then scenarios 2, 3, or 4 are taking place.

How do I disable a command in my server?

Use d?disable <name> and d?enable <name>.
