FAQs
What is a prefix?
A prefix is a string that helps Formas identify which character you want to trigger.
When running any commands that ask for a prefix, provide it without the exclamation mark
!When triggering the bot, use the exclamation mark:
!prefix <prompt>
Structure
!→ tells Formas that you are trying to trigger a characterprefix→ tells Formas which character you want to trigger!prefix→ together, this is called the trigger command
How does message context work, and what do /cmh and /dm cmh do?
By default, Formas reads recent messages in the channel to build context for replies. When you run /cmh (server) or /dm cmh (DM), it clears that context so the bot starts reading from the first message sent after the command is used.
What’s the best way to do RP without other users affecting context?
For clean RP context, use a private thread or a dedicated user-specific channel. Avoid busy general channels, because the character can pick up recent messages from other users and mix them into the context.
Is there a limit on how many characters I can create?
Yes. You can create up to 75 Discord DM characters per user, up to 75 Discord server characters per server, and up to 200 website characters per user.
Why is my character not replying?
Check all of the following conditions. If the character is still not replying, contact us in the support server.
