How-to

Change the command prefix

Stop BrawlScrims and another bot both answering the same ! commands.

Many servers already run a bot that answers to !. If both bots answer, one message can start two commands. Give BrawlScrims its own prefix. Then BrawlScrims stops answering !, and the other bot keeps it.

Setting a new prefix

1. Pick 1 to 3 characters with no spaces, for example ? or sc.
2. Run /setprefix prefix:?. You need the Scrim Manager role, Manage Server or Administrator. The server owner can always do it.
3. Or use the dashboard's Settings page. Open the first section, Commands. Pick a prefix from Command prefix. Then press Save settings in the bar at the bottom. The dashboard offers ! ? . - $ +.
4. The dashboard's Setup page has the same list. It is saved when you press Set it up, and that button also runs the setup.
5. The dashboard only has these six. For any other prefix, like sc, use /setprefix. After that, the dashboard shows it as the current prefix and keeps it when you save.
6. Tell your staff. From now on, text commands start with the new prefix: ?setup, ?queue 1v1 bo3.

A custom prefix is free on every server.

What changes

• ! does nothing for BrawlScrims any more. The other bot keeps it.
• One space after the prefix is fine. scsetup and sc setup both work.
• Type the prefix the way you set it. If you set sc, then SC setup does not work.
• Slash commands never change. /verify and /leaderboard work the same as before.
• Some bot messages and guide pages still show commands with !. Type your own prefix instead.

Going back

Run /setprefix prefix:!. /setprefix always works, whatever the prefix is, so nobody gets locked out.
