#Hybrid Commands ?

@ebon citrus your nightmares are coming back
mmmm
i understand the demand, but the way they were implemented was a nightmare in terms of maintainability
i... may try my hand at it, but its not a huge priority - i'll likely try making a separate ext first, then merge into the main lib... if i end up doing this
@peak wedge
Here is one of my commands that I got
Here's another different one
Maybe that could put an idea
why do you need hybrid commands, rather than fully transitioning to /commands. baring in mind discord is constantly reminding your users to use slash commands every time they use a prefixed command
purely curious about your usecase
i get why some bots stick with prefixed
(also note that hybrid commands in this lib were based off slash commands, not the other way around - it would still require porting over)
Because some commands is preferred using prefixed, such as copy pasting multiple times.
Some of my commands example claims rewards of a game, and some people prefer to use prefixed commands as it's easier and faster to type than slash commands.
also, some people (included myself) still prefer using prefixed commands in most cases
you can still copy paste slash commands? 🤔
Also mention slash commands
lmao all the contributors are interested in this help thread now
/docs
well, its easier to copy and paste prefixed commands
Not always
discord has definitely improved the copy and paste ux, but its still a bit... weird
yeah, i often find to get slash commands to recognise when copy pasting i need to hit tab or someth
exactly, imagine doing that 100 times or more, in a day
at that point, why not automate it
Some people already automate it by using my bot too lol
But you can't always know when it's copy pasted the right way or not
to be clear. @ebon citrus is by far more experienced with hybrid commands than me... seeing as she has actually implemented them before. therefore she is the best person for the job. However if she is unable / unwilling to make them, I can jump in. that said, hybrid commands are low in my priority list, so in that eventuality it would be post-v5 release
but for that, i defer to her original answer(s) in this post
well... tbf either way itll be post v5
im willing, just also a low priority
From today on, it's your highest 
i dont really think i can make it better maintainability wise (at the end of the day, you do have to do some pretty weird stuff no matter what), but i can implement it
Btw is there a doc for 5.x ? I can only see the 4.4.0
like, an alpha doc or something
ill bump the link. it is buried by the other releases now
ill also pin in this forum
Thank you
Bump,
how long approx till you think you will implement it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i dont have a set date, and admittedly this week is busy, though i have some spare time today so i may get started on the basics
as ive said though: it isnt a huge priority
this week is literally my hell week lol
got two exams, one of which i genuinely care about
hybrid commands are on the backburner 😅
i would also love to see this feature sometime in future, whenever convenient to add :)
