Can I make the bot respond to being pinged?

[fallow burrow]

I want to make a command which isn't prefix or interaction where the bot get's pinged and something specific is typed after the ping and it responds. Is this possible and how?
Thanks in advance.

That's ust a mention prefix

Check for it the same way you'd check for a string prefix

[fallow burrow]

yeah but I have interaction and prefix commands for my bot

I would like to keep both of them and have mentions

Nothing stops you from doing that

Just add a mention check similar to your prefix check

You could then execute whatever you want

There is a HasMentionPrefix extension method that'd do the check for you

[fallow burrow]

                message.HasMentionPrefix(_client.CurrentUser, ref argPos)) ||
                message.Author.IsBot)
                return;```

I have it setup like this

idk what to use to for itself

not the curent user

currentUser is fine

thank you so much it works

I just ping it and use any prefix command that I already have
