|
||||
modals: { ... },
|
||||
contextMenus: { ... },
|
||||
errors: [...],
|
||||
startTime: 1234567890
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Commands Not Showing
|
||||
Wait up to 1 hour for Discord to sync globally-scoped commands.
|
||||
|
||||
### Context Menu Not Appearing
|
||||
- Verify permissions set correctly
|
||||
- Check user has required permission
|
||||
- Try in different channel
|
||||
|
||||
### Threads Not Creating
|
||||
- Verify `THREAD_PARENT_CHANNEL` is valid channel ID
|
||||
- Ensure bot has permission to create threads
|
||||
- Check channel is a text channel
|
||||
|
||||
### Stats Showing Zeros
|
||||
- Stats accumulate over time
|
||||
- Restart resets counters
|
||||
- Use some commands to see stats populate
