You can't mention in titles, field names or footers
Ahh thank you. Description is the place to do it, then?
left lantern
Yeah that works
hollow mist
great thanks! 🙂

Note it doesn't ping the user in the embed
hollow mist
hmm how would you do that?
left lantern
If you do want the user to be pinged, you'd have to use the message content (outside the embed)
Inside the embed would give you the mention format but no ping, no way around that
hollow mist
I see, right now I only have a command.RespondAsync with the embed, how would I go about adding a message to the embed? assuming that's possible
hollow mist
so maybe put a "await Context.Channel.SendMessageAsync" before the RespondAsync?
left lantern
no
your response doesn't only have to be an embed
it can be a message alone, an embed alone or a message an and embed
hollow mist
hmm okay I guess I don't understand how to add the message to my embed. Thanks for baring with me, really appreciate it :x
left lantern
set the text
hollow mist
ahhh I see. is there a builder function for messages similar EmbedBuilder?
left lantern
there's nothing to build it's just a string
hollow mist
worked like a charm! thanks so much for your help
is there a way to mark the question as solved or something? sorry I'm new to this :x
