I want to create a custom command with a optional argument and if not, it takes a default command.

For example (my user is riahc3)

!hello user

Bot replies:

Hello user! Welcome

!hello

Bot replies:

Hello riahc3! Welcome

Is there a way to do this?

Hey @Jolly Kangaroo!

I'm not sure I understand fully what you're looking for, but hopefully using $(touser) is what you need:

!addcom hello Hello $(touser)! Welcome!

Mmmmm

I was a command that takes a OPTIONAL argument.

!hello

Would reply

Hello riahc3!

!hello anotheruser

Would reply

Hello anotheruser!
