dayz-vehicle-bot

Overview

A DayZ bot written in JavaScript to display an overview of your in-game vehicles in Discord using a simple JSON config file.

Features

• Search vehicles using the /vehicles command, auto-complete enabled.
• Automatically post all available vehicles in a configured text channel on boot, making sure the information displayed is always up-to-date.
  • ❗ The bot deletes previous messages - belonging to the client - in the channel to keep it clean, so use a dedicated channel for this
• Easily add variants that inherit data from the base vehicle, while still allowing you to overwrite any values
• Add more custom fields to the embed, like where/how to obtain the vehicle if it's not for sale.
  • Check out the last M3S - Example example in the /config/vehicles.json file for more information, or /config/vehicles-advanced-config.json for an advanced config example
