Syntax: <> = required, [] = optional.

Before you begin..

Bastet supports a mention prefix . What this means is that @ mentioning of Bastet before the command acts just the same as using the bot's prefix or / command. This can be useful if you want to change Bastet's prefix without changing the prefix of other bots at the same time. If somehow, the prefix has been lost, you can also mention Bastet on its own and it will reply with some information including the prefix.

Setting a Custom Prefix

Lets say You want to change the default prefix (b!) of Bastet for whatever reason, you can do this in the following ways:

One of the easier of the configuration commands, just type b!setprefix <newPrefix> .

Reminder: Replace <newPrefix> with your desired new prefix of choice.

Pinging Bastet with @ mention ping.
Changing prefix from b! to .. with @ mention prefix.
Changing prefix from b! to .. with setprefix command.
