Count mentions
How many members and roles a text mentions, and whether it tries @everyone or @here.

“Works out count mentions whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
Message posted → If Count mentions Total is over 5 → Time out member.
What it does
How many members and roles a text mentions, and whether it tries @everyone or @here. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Protection in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep the server safe: how many members and roles a text mentions, and whether it tries @everyone or @here.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Text Text
-
The text to check, like {message.content}.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
