Commands
Understand the documentation
In these docs,
name:<Type> is an option of a slash-command with name name and the type Type. Options that not required, are described as [name:<Type>]. If the action of a command is vastly different between required and not-required options, we might list them separately.Examples
/moderate ban user:<Member>: This command (/moderate ban) has an required option with the name "user" that only accepts one member as a value./moderate ban victim:<Member> reason:<Text>: This command (/moderate ban) has an required option with the name "victim" that only accepts one member as a value and another required option with the name "reason" that accepts any text as an value./moderate ban victim:<Member> reason:<Text> [proof:<Attachment>]: This command (/moderate ban) has an required option with the name "victim" that only accepts one member as a value, another required option with the name "reason" that accepts any text as an value and a not-required option with the name "proof" which allows one attachment as its value.

|---|---|
/quiz create <Description> <Channel> <Quiz duration> <Option 1> <Option 2> [<Can change vote?> <Options 3 to 9>] | Creates a public quiz with the given description/question in the given channel. The bot then asks you to select one or more correct answers, which the users have to choose from. This command can only be used with the "Role needed to create quizzes" configured in the main configuration. |
/quiz create-bool <Description> <Channel> [<Can change vote?> <Quiz duration>] | Creates a public quiz with the given description/question in the given channel. Users can only answer with the in the settings configured values, by default they are simply "Yes" or "No".

Configuration
Main config
In this configuration file, you can do most of the quiz configurations. Open it in your dashboard.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Emojis | Which emojis are used by the bot for the buttons. You can configure the emojis both for normal and boolean-only quiz. |
| Daily quiz limit | How many quiz users can play using /quiz play per day. Defaults to five. |
| Quiz leaderboard channel | If set, the bot automatically updates the quiz leaderboard in the channel. The channel should only be used for the leaderboard. |
| Role needed to create quizzes | A role which is able to create quiz using the command. Note that this permissions does not change who is able to create quiz for /quiz play, as those need to be configured in the CustomBot configuration. This could be for example an "Event manager" role. |
| Mode for quiz selection | How the next /quiz play quiz for a user is choosen: If set to "Random", every time the user uses the command, they'll receive any quiz from the quiz pool created in the bot configuration. Note that this may cause repeated questions more often. The other option is "Continuous", which tells your bot to just count up in the list of quiz and always choose the next one available, until the end is reached and the bot starts over again. |
| Live preview of results | Whether the answers of the users on public quiz are shown live instead of only after the quiz ended. |
