MentionHelp

Cog for Red-DiscordBot that sends a help embed when someone mentions the bot directly.

What it does

  • Detects direct mention messages:
    • <@BOT_ID>
    • <@!BOT_ID>
  • Replies with an embed that tells users to run:
    • [prefix]help
  • Uses bot/server locale to choose response language:
    • pl* -> Polish
    • anything else -> English
  • If locale lookup fails, it safely falls back to English.

Locale priority

Locale is resolved using Red's guild-aware locale API, so server locale takes priority over global locale.
If no valid locale is available, English is used.

Installation

  1. Put this cog folder in your custom cogs path.
  2. In Discord:
[p]load mentionhelp

Notes

  • The cog only responds in guilds (not in DMs).
  • It ignores bot messages.
