Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.
You can block this bot if you don't want to see these messages, I won't mind.

Your question is too vague to be able to answer well.

If you're asking how to do something, please make sure to add some background detail. Make sure to specify your overall end goal and the general design/idea and any existing progress towards that goal, not just the single specific point.

!info haste debug

[vapid field]

Info: haste

Help us help you by pasting your script to https://paste.denizenscript.com/New/Script and linking it back here.

Info: debug

If you need help with a script issue, one of the most powerful tools Denizen has to offer is full debug output. This is displaying in your console whenever scripts are running until you turn debug off. To share a debug log quickly and easily with helpers, simply run the command /denizen debug -r in-game to begin recording, then run through the part of the script you need help with, then run the command /denizen submit. This will give you a link to a paste of the debug log, which you can then copy/paste back to us!

[sonic coral]

happy to help you with this but we also will not write the script for you etc

you gotta provide more detail

what do you need from the community

[gritty dawn]

i need a way to detect whether or not a discord message received by denizen contains an emoji or not. i've tried the following: https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/107339

but that isn't detected as an emoji in the console:

[sonic coral]

are you using the script editor

[gritty dawn]

yes

spacing is off because its in a world event thing

[sonic coral]

screenshot for me

[sonic coral]

whole window

oh actually nvm it probably isn't parsing properly but

fyi

@fading rock <element[].contains_any_text[:]>

[fading rock]

Tag parse results for <element[:lol:].contains_any_text[:]>: https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/107341

false
Had error: No tag-base handler for 'a'.
Had error: Tag :lol: is invalid!
Had error: Unfilled or unrecognized sub-tag(s) 'a' for tag <a>!

[sonic coral]

Had error: Unfilled or unrecognized sub-tag(s) 'a' for tag <a>!

if you test your inputs you will get useful error messages

in this case I'm not sure what's breaking

but look here

[gritty dawn]

mkay so

how would i go about having it detect emojis?

[sonic coral]

have you started by narrating the output of the thing you're trying to use so you can see what it looks like

[gritty dawn]

yeah

it sends an emoji into console

[sonic coral]

into... the debug output?

[gritty dawn]

here i'll send a debug output with that one sec

https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/107345

[sonic coral]

first of all, that is fascinating

second I thought you were talking about like custom emoji

[gritty dawn]

oh lol

yeah uh im not really sure why it doesn't detect the : in the message but it is what it is

[sonic coral]

can you narrate without the .text

[gritty dawn]

@fading rock <element[😂].contains[:]>

[gritty dawn]

narrates the discordmessagetag

sorry for ping whops

lemme grab the debug rq

https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/107347

[sonic coral]

ah

anyway I think you need to use regex

the custom emoji parsing is a different issue but I've run that up the chain

https://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html

have fun with that

[gritty dawn]

rip

alright will play around with it

[gritty dawn]

is there a way to escape/not have denizen flag curly braces {} and code brackets <>?

as i could use those for capturing <> (custom emojis)

[sonic coral]

!t &rb

[vapid field]

Tag: <&rb>

Returns a right-bracket symbol: ]

Returns

ElementTag

[sonic coral]

er

actually I think this may be an xy problem

[gritty dawn]

just looking for this but for <>

nvm got it

[obsidian stream]

!tag matches_character_set

[vapid field]

Tag: <ElementTag.matches_character_set[<characters>]>

Returns true if the element contains only symbols from the given character set.
The character set is expected to be ASCII only.
This tag is case-sensitive.
For example:
"alphabet" .matches_character_set[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]> returns "true",
"Alphabet" .matches_character_set[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]> returns "false" because it has a capital "A",
and "alphabet1" .matches_character_set[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]> returns "false" because it has a "1".

Group

element checking

Returns

ElementTag(Boolean)

[obsidian stream]

you can check if an element doesn't contain the standard typable characters as a close match to determining if someone is using an actual standard emoji, like 🍕🍔🍟🌭🍿🧂🧈🥞🧇🧇🍳🥚🥓🍞🥐🥨🥯

!tag elementtag.contains_text

[vapid field]

Tag: <ElementTag.contains_text[<element>]>

Returns whether the element contains a specified element, case insensitive.
Can use regular expression by prefixing the element with 'regex:'.

Group

element checking

Returns

ElementTag(Boolean)

[obsidian stream]

you can also check if the message contains both <&lt><&co> / <&lt>a<&co> and <&co><&gt>

also if you meant curly braces for some reason i didnt understand, it's &lc and &rc

!tag &lc

[vapid field]

Tag: <&lc>

Returns a left-brace symbol: {

Returns

ElementTag

[meager garden]

Wait, can't you just use emoji_names to define what emojis do the group haves and then check if the message contains_any from that emoji_names list?

!t emoji_names

[vapid field]

Tag: <DiscordGroupTag.emoji_names>

Returns a list of emoji names in the group.

Required Plugins or Platforms

dDiscordBot

Returns

ListTag

[meager garden]

Oh it might probably show only the added by a group emojis, not the whole discord list
