Making a discord bot with javascript. part4 - Paperytxt/bot.txt GitHub Wiki

Lets work on embeds, shall we? its pretty easy so lets get a example.

Now lets look at this code.

if(command == 'test'){
    var embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
            .addField('Field', "Field2", true)
            .addField('You will need hex colours. if you need help google "colour picker"', 'hex', true)
            .addField("Blank Field", "blank")
            .addBlankField()
            .setColor('FFFFFF')
            .setAuthor(`Author can also hold a image.`, image)
            .setFooter('This is the footer. at the very bottom. can also hold a picture', image)
            .setImage('image')
            message.channel.send(embed)
}

var embed = new Discord.RichEmbed() says that this is a embed and need to treat it like one.

.addField() Adds on to that said embed.

.addField(,true) is a inline. puts them in a row. but it didnt show up.

.addBlankField() Easy line break.

.setColor() Guess. Colour Picker

.setTitle() I for got to put it in that embed but its like author without the image.

.setAuthor() Gets put above the title.

.setFooter() always gets put at the bottom. can hold an image.

.setImage() guess again.

.setTimestamp() another thing I forgot to show. tells you the current date and time. next to footer.

nearly all forms of markdown can be put in. even Masked links.

that's just about it for now, I know its been short but next time, I don't know what ill do for next time.
