variables - placeholders & functions
you can escape a placeholder or function via a backslash
\before your placeholder. this way, the placeholder will not replace (e.g.\{user}).
✎ placeholder list
a bit confused on what a placeholder is? check out our beginner guide on using simple placeholders.
♪ user / author information
advanced usage: user information can all be extended into a function to swap the user target of the information. for example,
{user_balance:395526710101278721}would provide balance of that specific user id.this means that
{user_balance:[$1]}can provide the user balance of the first argument. for more information, read advanced ii: using user arguments in placeholders.

adds, removes, sets, divides, or multiplies from user balance.
can only change by up to ±100,000 at once, and only 3 users at once.
supports the following simple math functions:
+ adds specified amount to existing balance
- subtracts specified amount to existing balance

/ divides the existing balance by specified amount
can change balance from other users too, if you add the optional argument "user" after the pipe |.

♪ advanced functions
using these functions can be pretty difficult! read up on our intermediate section on ranges and making choices, as well as locked choices, to fully understand. for using arguments, read the advanced ii: using user arguments guide.
variable
description
{range:}
chooses a value between a minimum and maximum, separated with -. (e.g. {range:1-10}). supports up to 4 ranges, you can reference these in your autoresponder via [range] [range1] [range2] [range3], also mentioned in advanced placeholders.
{choose:}
chooses from a provided list of choices that are separated by the pipe | symbol. supports up to 4 choices, {choose:} {choose1:} {choose2:} {choose3:}.
you can reference these in your autoresponder via [choice] [choice1] [choice2] [choice3], also mentioned in advanced placeholders.
{lockedchoose:}
"locks" or "forces" a choice to happen based on a corresponding {choose:} decision. the order of the [choice] found in the {choose:} corresponds to the order of the [lockedchoice] found in the {lockedchoose:}.
for example, if a was chosen from {choose:x|y|z|a|b|c}, then n MUST be chosen from {lockedchoose1:k|r|m|n|o|p}. this is because a is the 4th option which was chosen, and n is the 4th option.
you can reference these in your autoresponder via [lockedchoice] [lockedchoice1] [lockedchoice2] [lockedchoice3], also mentioned in advanced placeholders.
{requirearg:}
requires an argument to be specified so you can refer to them properly in the [$N] placeholder. you can put the number of the argument in. for example, {requirearg:1}
optionally takes an input type after the pipe | symbol, which forces the user to follow that type, e.g. {requirearg:2|number}. the types supported are user, channel, color, role and number.
