Aliasing API¶

So you want to write aliases for your commonly used commands - cool! This cheatsheet details some of the nitty-gritty syntactical shenanigans that you can use to make your aliases very powerful.

When placed inline in an alias, any syntax in the syntax table will have the listed effect. For a list of built-in cvars, see the Cvar Table.

For a list of user-created aliases, plus help aliasing, join the Avrae Discord!

Draconic¶

The language used in Avrae aliases is a custom modified version of Python, called Draconic. In most cases, Draconic uses the same syntax and base types as Python - any exceptions will be documented here!

Note

It is highly recommended to be familiar with the Python language before diving into Draconic, as the two use the same syntax and types.

As Draconic is meant to both be an operational and templating language, there are multiple ways to use Draconic inside your alias.

Syntax¶

This section details the special syntax used in the Draconic language. Note that these syntaxes are only evaluated in an alias, the test command, or the tembed command.

Rolls¶

Syntax: {diceexpr}

Description: Rolls the expression inside the curly braces and is replaced by the result. If an error occurs, is replaced by 0. Variables are allowed inside the expression.

Examples

>>> !test Rolling 1d20: {1d20}
Rolling 1d20: 7

>>> !test Strength check: {1d20 + strengthMod}
Strength check: 21

Values¶

Syntax: <var>

Description: Replaced by the value of the variable, implicitly cast to str. The variable can be a user variable, character variable, or a local variable set in a Draconic script.

Examples

>>> !test My strength modifier is: <strengthMod>
My strength modifier is: 2

Draconic Expressions¶

Syntax: {{code}}

Description: Runs the Draconic code inside the braces and is replaced by the value the code evaluates to. If the code evaluates to None, is removed from the output, otherwise it is cast to str.

See below for a list of builtin Draconic functions.

Examples

>>> !test 1 more than my strength score is {{strength + 1}}!
1 more than my strength score is 15!

>>> !test My roll was {{"greater than" if roll("1d20") > 10 else "less than"}} 10!
My roll was less than 10!

Draconic Blocks¶

Syntax

<drac2>
code
</drac2>

Description: Runs the multi-line Draconic code between the delimiters. If a non-None value is returned (via the return keyword), is replaced by the returned value, cast to str.

Examples

>>> !test <drac2>
... out = []
... for i in range(5):
...   out.append(i * 2)
...   if i == 2:
...     break
... return out
... </drac2>
[0, 2, 4]

>>> !test <drac2>
... out = []
... for stat in ['strength', 'dexterity', 'constitution']:
...   out.append(get(stat))
... </drac2>
... My STR, DEX, and CON scores are {{out}}!
My STR, DEX, and CON scores are [12, 18, 14]!

Argument Parsing¶

Often times when writing aliases, you will need to access user input. These special strings will be replaced with user arguments (if applicable)!

Non-Code, Space-Aware¶

Syntax: %1%, %2%, …, %N%

Description: Replaced with the Nth argument passed to the alias. If the argument contains spaces, the replacement will contain quotes around the argument.

Non-Code, Preserving All¶

Syntax: %*%

Description: Replaced with the unmodified string following the alias.

In Code, Quote-Escaping¶

Syntax: &1&, &2&, etc.

Description: Replaced with the Nth argument passed to the alias. If the argument contains spaces, the replacement will not contain quotes around the argument. Additionally, any quotes in the argument will be backslash-escaped.

In Code, Quote-Escaping All¶

Syntax: &*&

Description: Replaced with the string following the alias. Any quotes will be backslash-escaped.

In Code, List Literal¶

Syntax: &ARGS&

Description: Replaced with a list representation of all arguments - usually you’ll want to put this in Draconic code.

Examples

>>> !alias asdf echo %2% %1%
>>> !asdf first "second arg"
"second arg" first

>>> !alias asdf echo %*% first
>>> !asdf second "third word"
second "third word" first

>>> !alias asdf echo &1& was the first arg
>>> !asdf "hello world"
hello world was the first arg

>>> !alias asdf echo &*& words
>>> !asdf second "third word"
second \"third word\" words

>>> !alias asdf echo &ARGS&
>>> !asdf first "second arg"
['first', 'second arg']

It may be possible to corrupt your character data by incorrectly calling functions. Script at your own risk.

All Contexts¶

These functions are available in any scripting context, regardless if you have a character active or not.

Python Builtins¶

Parameters: x (float or int) – The number to round.
Returns: The smallest integer >= x.
Return type: int

enumerate(x)¶

Returns a iterable of tuples containing a count and the values from the iterable.

Parameters: x (iterable) – The value to convert.
Returns: enumerate of count and objects.
Return type: iterable[tuple[int, any]]

float(x)¶

Converts x to a floating point number.

Parameters: x (str, int, or float) – The value to convert.
Returns: The float.
Return type: float

floor(x)¶

Rounds a number down to the nearest integer. See math.floor().

Parameters: x (float or int) – The number to round.
Returns: The largest integer <= x.
Return type: int

int(x)¶

Converts x to an integer.

Parameters: x (str, int, or float) – The value to convert.
Returns: The integer.
Return type: int

len(s)¶

Return the length (the number of items) of an object. The argument may be a sequence (such as a string, bytes, tuple, list, or range) or a collection (such as a dictionary, set, or frozen set).

Returns: The length of the argument.
Return type: int

max(iterable, *[, key, default])¶

max(arg1, arg2, *args[, key])

Return the largest item in an iterable or the largest of two or more arguments.

If one positional argument is provided, it should be an iterable. The largest item in the iterable is returned. If two or more positional arguments are provided, the largest of the positional arguments is returned.

There are two optional keyword-only arguments. The key argument specifies a one-argument ordering function like that used for list.sort(). The default argument specifies an object to return if the provided iterable is empty. If the iterable is empty and default is not provided, a ValueError is raised.

If multiple items are maximal, the function returns the first one encountered.

min(iterable, *[, key, default])¶

min(arg1, arg2, *args[, key])

Return the smallest item in an iterable or the smallest of two or more arguments.

If one positional argument is provided, it should be an iterable. The smallest item in the iterable is returned. If two or more positional arguments are provided, the smallest of the positional arguments is returned.

There are two optional keyword-only arguments. The key argument specifies a one-argument ordering function like that used for list.sort(). The default argument specifies an object to return if the provided iterable is empty. If the iterable is empty and default is not provided, a ValueError is raised.

If multiple items are minimal, the function returns the first one encountered.

range(stop)¶

range(start, stop[, step])

Returns a list of numbers in the specified range.

If the step argument is omitted, it defaults to 1. If the start argument is omitted, it defaults to 0. If step is zero, ValueError is raised.

For a positive step, the contents of a range r are determined by the formula r[i] = start + step*i where i >= 0 and r[i] < stop.

For a negative step, the contents of the range are still determined by the formula r[i] = start + step*i, but the constraints are i >= 0 and r[i] > stop.

A range object will be empty if r[0] does not meet the value constraint. Ranges do support negative indices, but these are interpreted as indexing from the end of the sequence determined by the positive indices.

Parameters

start (int) – The start of the range (inclusive).
stop (int) – The end of the range (exclusive).
step (int) – The step value.

Returns

The range of numbers.

Return type

list

Converts x to a string.

Parameters: x (Any) – The value to convert.
Returns: The string.
Return type: str

sum(iterable[, start])¶: Sums start and the items of an iterable from left to right and returns the total. start defaults to 0. The iterable’s items are normally numbers, and the start value is not allowed to be a string.

Variable Scopes¶

In addition to Python’s normal variable scoping rules, Avrae introduces 4 new scopes in the form of character variables, user variables, server variables, and global variables. The intended purpose and binding rules of each are detailed below.

Variable Type	Read	Write	Binding	Scope	Who
Cvar	Yes	Yes	Implicit	Character	User
Uvar	Yes	Yes	Implicit	User	User
Svar	Yes	No	Explicit	Server	Anyone on server
Gvar	Yes	No	Explicit	Everywhere	Anyone
Init Metadata	Yes	Yes	Explicit	Initiative	Anyone in channel

Character Variables¶

aka cvars

Character variables are variables bound to a character. These are usually used to set character-specific defaults or options for aliases and snippets (e.g. a character’s familiar type/name). When running an alias or snippet, cvars are implicitly bound as local variables in the runtime at the runtime’s instantiation.

Cvars can be written or deleted in Draconic using AliasCharacter.set_cvar() and AliasCharacter.delete_cvar(), respectively.

All characters contain some built-in character variables (see Cvar Table). These cannot be overwritten.

User Variables¶

aka uvars

User variables are bound per Discord user, and will go with you regardless of what server or character you are on. These variables are usually used for user-specific options (e.g. a user’s timezone, favorite color, etc.). When running an alias or snippet, uvars are implicitly bound as local variables in the runtime at the runtime’s instantiation. If a cvar and uvar have the same name, the cvar takes priority.

Uvars can be written or deleted in Draconic using set_uvar() or delete_uvar(), respectively.

Server Variables¶

aka svars

Server variables are named variables bound per Discord server, and can only be accessed in the Discord server they are bound in. These variables are usually used for server-specific options for server aliases (e.g. stat rolling methods, server calendar, etc.). Unlike cvars and uvars, svars must be explicitly retrieved in an alias by calling get_svar(). Svars can be listed and read by anyone on the server, so be careful what data you store!

Svars can only be written or deleted using !svar <name> <value> and !svar delete <name>, respectively. These commands can only be issued by a member who has Administrator Discord permissions or a Discord role named “Server Aliaser” or “Dragonspeaker”.

Global Variables¶

aka gvars

Global variables are uniquely named variables that are accessible by anyone, anywhere in Avrae. These variables are usually used for storing large amounts of read-only data (e.g. an alias’ help message, a JSON file containing cards, etc.). These variables are automatically assigned a unique name on creation (in the form of a 36 character UUID), and must be explicitly retrieved in an alias by calling get_gvar(). Gvars can be read by anyone, so be careful what data you store!

Gvars can only be created using !gvar create <value>, and by default can only be edited by its creator. See !help gvar for more information.

Honorable Mention: Initiative Metadata¶

Initiative metadata is a form of key-value pair storage attached to an ongoing initiative in a given channel. This storage is usually used for storing a medium-sized amount of programmatic information about an ongoing initiative (e.g. an alias’ metadata on each combatant).

Metadata can be created, retrieved, and deleted using the SimpleCombat.set_metadata(), SimpleCombat.get_metadata(), and SimpleCombat.delete_metadata() methods, respectively.

Initiative Models¶

SimpleCombat¶

class SimpleCombat¶

combatants¶: A list of all SimpleCombatant in combat.

current¶: The SimpleCombatant or SimpleGroup representing the combatant whose turn it is.

groups¶: A list of all SimpleGroup in combat.

me¶: The SimpleCombatant representing the active character in combat, or None if the character is not in the combat.

round_num¶: An int representing the round number of the combat.

turn_num¶: An int representing the initiative score of the current turn.

delete_metadata(k: str) → Optional[str]¶

Removes a key from the metadata.

Parameters: k (str) – The metadata key to remove
Returns: The removed value or None if the key is not found.
Return type: str or None

>>> delete_metadata("Test")
'{"Status": ["Mario", 1, 2]}'

end_round()¶: Moves initiative to just before the next round (no active combatant or group). Ending the round will not tick any events with durations.

get_combatant(name)¶

Gets a combatant by its name or ID.

If a combatant name is passed, returns the first SimpleCombatant that matches the name via fuzzy searching (partial match) on name. This cannot return groups.

If a combatant ID is passed, returns the combatant with the given ID, which may be a SimpleCombatant or SimpleGroup

get_group(name)¶

Gets a SimpleGroup, fuzzy searching (partial match) on name.

Parameters: name (str) – The name of the group to get.
Returns: The group.
Return type: SimpleGroup

get_metadata(k: str, default=None) → str ¶

Gets a metadata value for the passed key or returns default if the name is not set.

Parameters

k (str) – The metadata key to get
default – What to return if the name is not set.

>>> get_metadata("Test")
'{"Status": ["Mario", 1, 2]}'

set_metadata(k: str, v: str)¶

Assigns a metadata key to the passed value. Maximum size of the metadata is 100k characters, key and item inclusive.

Parameters
