Discord-Bot-User-Role-Escalation-Test

Version: 1.4

A Discord Bot with the capabilities of elevating a user's roles on any Discord Server it is on

---

IMPORTANT:

• THIS BOT IS A PROJECT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT JS AND DISCORD BOTS, ONLY USE ON SERVERS YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO : DO NOT USE FOR MALICIOUS PURPOSES
• DEVELOPER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING DONE WITH BOT BY OTHERS

REQUIREMENTS:

• node.js installed
• discord.js npm packaged installed

HOW TO START:

• Clone this repo
• Create config.json for discord token (https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/)
• Setup bot as an application on your discord developer portal (https://discord.com/developers/applications)
• Create invite link using Discord's built in link generator and make sure the bot's permissions are set to only administrator
• Add bot to server
• Change to directory of bot in terminal
• Run 'node .' in terminal to start bot

NOTE:

• I wrote part of this a while ago, so most of it is not using discord.js v14
• Bot must be on the server for use
• There are still a few bugs being worked with the '-create' and '-add' commands so expect a few issues
• There is no multi-command handling so if more than one person tries to use a command at the same time nothing will happen for either of them. If needed on multiple servers it is recommened to host different instances of the bot
• This bot is meant to be used as a role escalation test for Discord servers
• Bot can be customized to be used however is needed to maintain cover, the default is the 'Funny Bot' cover which includes some jokes and other commands; customizing requires some discord.js knowledge
• Commands can be added and removed for modularity, again, some discord.js knowledge is needed
