Loop while something is true
Run a Loop has a new choice: While something is true. Set your condition, then pick Most rounds (up to 250) and a wait between rounds (2 to 60 seconds).
A loop stops after 15 minutes at the most, and a bot can run 10 of them at once. Read {loop_stopped_by} after the loop to find out why it ended, then send a different message for each reason.
One use: check a variable every 30 seconds and post a message when it changes.
Manage AutoMod from a block
Add or Edit an AutoMod Rule adds, edits, or deletes keyword rules in a server. Connect it to a command, and your staff can change the blocked words list from Discord.
Forward a message and show typing
Open Send or Edit a Message and go to the Channel tab. Forward a message sends a copy of an existing message to the channel you pick. Show typing first makes the bot look like it's typing before the message arrives.
More options on your blocks
- Change a Member's Nickname can set the bot's own name, picture, banner, and bio per server (Premium).
- Manipulate some text can format, move, and read dates.
- Delete Variable clears several variables at once, and Set Variable has Add to the start.
- Wait and Do This Later have Replace same Job ID, so a new job takes the place of the old one.
- Create a Channel can copy from a channel, and Create Server Invite can give roles.
Tickets, Welcomer, and Music fixes
The Welcomer no longer sends its card twice. Tickets forms show member and role answers as mentions, and channel names keep their emoji.
If someone adds a link from a site we don't support, Search Tracks and Add to Queue give an Unsupported Link error instead of playing a random song. Picked Spotify playlists now queue every song.
Good to know
- Press Update on Giveaways to get the new settings. Your own settings stay as they are.
- Loops you've already built keep running the way they did.
- Saving a command restarts your bot, and that stops any While loop in progress.
