Ive added in these commands;
!commands add !deaths 0
!commands add !died -a=!commands -ul=mod edit !deaths $(channel) has died $(count) times.
!commands add !cleardeaths -a=!commands edit !deaths \-c=0
Im able to add onto the counter but it wont clear it with the clear command, im not sure what im doing wrong exactly ive tried -c=0 which makes the response just "Nightbot: -c=0" as well as \-c=0 which doesnt change the counter at all
I tried using the commands exactly as was posted in that thread but it still wouldnt reset the count
also in my original post, doesnt my !deaths command use the $(count) when i add in the !commands add !died -a=!commands -ul=mod edit !deaths $(channel) has died $(count) times. since that is editing the command? if im looking at it right its basically the same thing youre using in the thread yours posting mines just different wording
when i went into Nightbot commands i saw that the \ in front of \-c=0 wasnt there and thought that might be the issue but even after adding it in manually it still doesnt reset the count
The only command that uses and increments $(count) in this case is your !died command. This is due to variables getting resolved before an alias happens. So when you run the !died command
gets converted to
and then executes to set the static command to edit the !deaths command. This is why !deaths doesn't increment on being used, as it's all static text.
You can view this in action in the dashboard where you can view the current count for the !died command. In my case the !count command.
To reset just use \-c=0 to edit the !died command.
