Information Commands

Commands that generally provide information about Sky: Children of the Light.

`/shards`

Options:

Option	Description
`[date]`	The date to get the shard info for (in format: `DD-MM-YYYY`, e.g., `22-07-2024`).
`[hide]`	Whether to hide the response from other users (ephemeral response)

Provides information about the shard details for a given date, such as the shard type, location, timeline, and countdown to its occurrences.

If you do not provide a date, the current date is used for retrieving shard info.

Usage:

/shards (returns shard info for the current date)
/shards date:22-07-2024 hide:true (returns shard info for the specified date)

Features:

View timeline of all shard occurrences for the day

`/shards-calendar`

Options:

Option	Description
`[hide]`	Whether to hide the response from other users (ephemeral response)

Returns an embed with a calendar overview for shards for the current month. It provides basic details for each shard during the month, such as type, location, and timeline. The embed also includes select menus that allow users to adjust the date, month, and year displayed in the calendar.

The options in the year select menu allow for selecting a year within ±5 years from the currently selected year. This is due to the display limit for select menu options.

Usage:

/shards-calendar

Features:

Monthly calendar view of all shards
Interactive date, month, and year selection
Quick overview of shard types and locations

`/daily-quests`

Options:

Option	Description
`[hide]`	Whether to hide the response from other users (ephemeral response)

Provides the current date's daily quests, rotating candle locations, and seasonal candles (if a season is active), along with guides on completing them.

How does this work?

Creating the daily quests command was a bit tricky. While there are patterns to the daily quests, they aren't as consistent as the shard patterns. Additionally, some quests are exclusive to ongoing events or seasons, making full automation infeasible. Manually updating the guides daily wasn't an option either due to time constraints.

Solution:

The Sky: Children of the Light community is known for sharing helpful resources like infographics or in any other ways. One such community is the Sky:CoTL Infographics Database server. Their maintainers (like Clement and io) post daily quest guides there, which can be shared to servers via announcement channels.

When they post a guide, the bot captures it, evaluates whether it's worth including, and then saves it. The bot then presents the information to users. Special thanks to Clement, io, and all the creators who help out by producing these infographics.

As this command is dependent on guides being published in the infographics server, it's important to note that Clement and io are also human. Sometimes they may be busy and post guides later than usual or not post it at all. In such cases, the bot may not have a guide available for this command. Typically, there's a grace period of 1-2 hours, but this timeframe is not guaranteed.

Usage:

/daily-quests

Features:

Today's daily quest guides
Rotating candle locations
Seasonal candle guides (when applicable)
Community-sourced infographic integration
