Components
Buttons and select menus are a new addition to both our bot, and Discord itself. This is a general list of the way we're using them right now! If you have issues using or viewing them, update your discord client. There are plenty of discord articles on this type of thing.
Pagination You can use buttons to change between pages
- Example:
shop
command
Response You can use these buttons to give a response to the bot in some form rather than replying with text
- Example:
search
command
External Link You can use these buttons to click a link to an external website
- Example:
vote
command
Select Menus You can use these to select an option from a selection menu.
- Example:
profile
Confirmations These buttons will confirm whether or not you want to perform an action
- Example:
trade
command
Ephemeral Responses When responding to button presses, we can send messages in a channel directly to a single user, a "secret" message if you will
- Example:
wishlist
command
Some quirks to know
- You can only have one "interaction" going at once. For instance if you finish a fight, until the logs button times out (~15s) you cannot start another fight or other type of interaction that involves more than one button press.

Now drops even less frequently, and gives hardly any coins. However, a few junk items were removed which overall raises the possibility of getting good items.
-
Nerfs
robbersmask
no longer hides the SERVER you were robbed in, only the person who robbed you.pls audit
was "nerfed" in the sense that you can no longer disable it. No more server owners hiding their sins of enabling rob.
Other Changes
-
Tons of new emojis for older items
-
New UI for multiple commands thanks to buttons, including fight and ttt
-
You can now bet items and coins against others when fighting and playing ttt
-
Removed dragon quest
-
Level bar progress in the profile command now shows your progress towards the next prestige level
-
Fixed a ton of bugs reported over the last few months
-
There is a new and improved "fuzzy search" algorithm for things such as
pls shop <item>
(including small typos, like banote => banknote) -
While using shop and inventory, you can use a select menu to filter by item types. You can do similar with the notification command.
-
Completely redid the help command. It should now be much more user friendly. You can still do
pls help <command>
to see more info, andpls help <category>
to jump straight to a certain category. -
If your pet love meter goes to 0%, it WILL run away. Keep it high by interacting with it often and keeping the other bars up. There are things to make this easier (like a vacation mode) coming in the next update.
-
Updated prices for a lot of pets and items
-
Daily streaks NEVER clearing were a bug. You will now actually lose streaks again, no it's not a bug.
Known Issues
-
There will be no weekend double vote rewards for a bit while we redo our vote handler
-
Reply pings are a little bit broken on some commands with buttons after the original message is edited
-
You sometimes will get "interaction failed" when clicking buttons too quickly. This is you hitting discord's ratelimit, not an issue with the buttons.
-
Before we get feedback of "I want to type, not use buttons", there is a reason we have to do it like this. This will be explained more in our next Q&A, and why Discord is changing things.
