Creating a Discord bot

To use Corde, there must be two bots in the a guild. The first one is your bot, the one that you want to test, the other is a bot that Corde to comunicate with your bot.

The first step to create a bot is go to Discord Developer Portal.

After login (if you are not already loged in) you will see a page like the picture bellow:

There, you go to New Application. Click that button, you will be promped to define a name of the bot, choose a nice name and click Create.

Now that we created an application. Is time to create the real bot entity. Go to the Bot menu on left and click Add bot.

Will be promped to you a note message and you can click in Yes, do it!.

After click in the button, you now has your own A Great Bot.

note

Each bot has a token, it is unique and must be protected. Do not share the token with other people, or expose it to any source of internet. If you unintentionally commit the token to Github for instance, Discord detect it and invalidate your token. After doing this you will receive a message to you on discord announcing that security operation. But don't worry, if this happen, you just have to generate a new token to the bot and make sure to now commit it again 😄.

Bot token is bot used to Corde botToken and for cordeBotToken. Pay attention about the usage of each one.

Now that we have the bot and his token, let's add for his admin permission: To do that, go to bottom of the page that we are now and mark the checkbox Administrator

Now we are going to mark our bot scope as bot and generate a link to add the bot to a server. Go to OAuth2 in the left side of the page and mark the checkbox bot.

After that a new field will appear in the bottom wih a list of possible permissions for the bot. Check Administrator to allow our bot to have admin permission and copy the link that appear above the permissions block.

After paste the generated link and press enter, you will see a prompt asking where to add the bot:

Choose a server and voilá, the bot is in your server!
