devBot: Discord bot aimed at Roblox developers - what features would you want?

Currently I am working on a project called devBot, essentially a Discord bot that I hope to create for Roblox developers to use in there servers. I was wondering what currently developers and Roblox players want in there servers. There are currently bots already for Roblox servers but I hope to make a all in one inclusive bot that has loads of commands Robloxians can use for there servers.

Please write down below what you might want to see as this project progresses and any questions you have that I can answer

I am posting this in the Cool Creations category because I will update this topic over time as the project progresses, to have everything related to this project in one place.

Is it going to be open source? And what language is it going to be coded in?

Upon release lots of stuff will be opened sourced on GitHub. And we are using Python with JavaScript.

I was looking something like that so I’ll use it when its released Im looking for bot that can search on roblox wiki I saw selfbot on scripterhelpers discord but I couldn’t find any api for that so if you going to make something like that I’ll probably use that bot

That’s a interesting feature, I’ll definitely have to look into that. I am aware that there are bots that can search on the web, I think. Though I am not aware of any current bots that can search specific sites unless connected with. Though I might study this and see if this feature has any potential of being worked on. Though we might have commands that are manual so essentially like most recent DevForum news or important Roblox updates.

I already made devforum announcement webhook using rss feed but I couldn’ find api for wiki search

:slight_smile:

Ya I am not sure yet about the api for the wiki, I’ll definitely look into it for you as I think that’s something we really hope to strive for. If you have any other potential feature requests feel free to let me know also.

Hello, I have some questions.
What will the bot many do?

What can you do will it?

Will you have to set it up by hand?

Does this bot need a wed hook?

And yes I would like to see something like this is my server.

Thank you for readying me :blush:

Alright let’s start off with the first question, the bot is essentially a project and we are coming up with ideas as we go along. Though the main focus of the bot is to provide useful and needed commands to Roblox server owners. We currently see people use Roblox verification heavily, something we would like to add is statistics for user creations. Such as games,clothing,models and plugins. It’s also important to understand that a lot of this will get changed as we go along and we do have a vision but it’s not very direct yet. I think this answers the first two questions.

In terms of adding the bot to your server, like a lot of bots you will have to set this up your self. Though don’t worry! We will have tutorials as well as directions to help you with this in the future. So it should be very straightforward.

To answer your last question, we currently are not sure what features the bot may utilize. Though information on this will come out in the future as the bot becomes open more to the public.

Hello, I’d like to contribute to this project with my knowledge of JavaScript. I have sent a friend request on discord.

Could this include like a dictionary, eg:
Command:
(prefix)RemoteEvent
Response:
Definition, and an example of using it, and a bit of the history of it?

A roblox chat to webhook post system which shows the name of who said it as the webhook’s name.
Example of process:
A player joins → A script in-game posts → a webhook is made
A player chats → A script in-game posts to a discord bot in a way → the bot connects on this which it then makes the webhook post.
A player leaves → a script in-game posts → the webhook is deleted

I’m a bit confused, are you asking for a command to provide support or would you like essentially a tutorial and features?

A dictionary command for ROBLOX lua, to give information about a certain function, or whatever.

I think this was mentioned before but, currently there isn’t a API out there that connects the Wiki to Discord. There isn’t a way to roam through the wiki yet to find out functions. Though we hope to work on this.

So what would this essentially be used for?

If someone forgets the terminology or use of something, they can simply turn to the dictionary…

Either mod logs or just to watch the chat.
