cookie command needs to accommodate usernames without an at-sign

Closed this issue · 3 comments

The cookie command should be able to handle a username that does not start with an @-sign.

This should resolve the following errors:

Also, documentation for the command should reflect the need for an at-sign.

Sadly, because of the lack of permissions [see GUILD_MEMBERS here], the bot only has access to the sending user and any mentioned per message. This means the bot cannot convert a text-name to a valid mention.

There is a chance that the bot can just do @username, having Discord convert it to a mention, though this needs further testing.

Noted. I will add that along with the other fixes.

The error above should not occur either way; I will look into that.

This was fixed in a recent release. Cookie no longer returns a mention but the nickname, so any input (including mentions) will be returned.
