So, my current issue/concern is when ar triggers or embed names have some accidental zws(zero width space), or the trigger is an emoji that’s deleted, etc. That way I wouldn’t be able to edit/delete the ar/embed etc. By numbering the ars/embeds, I’ll be able to, for example .embed - 2
to delete my 2nd embed, or .ar - 24
to delete my 24th ar. Another good thing about this is that I can find out how many ars my server has, since embed list has a counter but ar list doesn’t
What happens if I want an ar that triggers on “1”, etc.?
Some tips: For ARs, a trigger that can’t be typed has no effect, and ZWS can be usually copy/pasted from .emb list or .ar .
Embed names can be any relatively short word, so it’s good to keep them simple– “welcome” and the like.
yea but for a mobile user, it’s really hard to copy paste… especially if your list is really long, and mobile makes us copy the whole page-
okay, I understand for the trigger 1 thing, so what if, ar editing/deleting has an option to delete through name or number? Example .embed - number 1
for deleting first embed in list, and .ar - name hello
if I want to delete with the name of the ar
as for trigger that can’t be typed has no effect, well I’m not sure about others but I personally like keeping my list organised, so having random ars there for no reason is a bit annoying to me
i think we might just force embed names to be A-Z + 0-9 in the future to avoid this issue entirely. marking as planned (for forcing embed names to be A-Z + 0-9).
