Custom pings mini guide
----
@wwplayers is the custom ping group.
1. Create a custom ping group using:
!addping @wwplayers @ranch @keknee @ineffable @wanwan @pinkflow
2. Usage
@wwplayers
this would notify(mention) all users in this group.
3. Add more users to a custom ping group:
!addtoping @wwplayers @weirdo1 @weirdo2
or reply to a user's message with:
!addtoping @wwplayers to add that user to the ping group @wwplayers
4. Remove a user from a custom ping group:
!removefromping @wwplayers @wanwan @weirdo2
or reply to a user's message with:
!addtoping @wwplayers to remove that user from the ping group @wwplayers
5. Remove a custom ping from the group:
!deleteping @wwplayers

A user can be mentioned in any of the above example by:

Light is down
The whole team is working on it
Be patient and hold back your slaps and hugs for a while.
Sorry for the inconvenience
And thank you for your patience.

Down for maintenance + update

Bot is active.
Attempt to fix no notification on mention bug:
Possible reason for bug: Telegram bot restriction.
Fix: changed @ messages to contain not more than 15 mentions per message and ping messages with a delay of one second between them.

Coming soon
!lmgtfy query
To reply with a link of lmgtfy

Added lmgtfy command 🥳🥳
See usage above

Added scream command 🥳🥳
Usage:
!scream [text]
EpicLightBot will reply with a scream of text
if text contains a mention then it'll be ignored(more in next update).
incase text is not specified, the message which the command is a reply to will be echoed as a scream
if the command is not a reply then it'll be assumed that the command invoker wants to scream with agony.

Big update coming soon!

It will contain a LOT of features + the ability to remove any features too(you know what I'm talkin about)

Also, I'll be hosting the bot on a different server and there's a noticeable improvement in response time.

I plan to have some features disabled by default but will try to make a smooth transition and inform the groups instead of disabling the features abruptly.

Stay tuned.

Added service firstmsg 🥳🥳
You can turn it on using !firstmsg on

Whenever a new user is added, the first message that the user enters will be replied to by the bot with a custom message. You can add the rules in there or a sweet welcome message or whatever you want(see @CoronaVirusRobot 's messages for inspiration)

To add a custom message do this:
!setfirstmsg <YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE HERE>

You may use %NAME% in your message to represent the new user's name in the message.
Example:
!setfirstmsg Welcome %NAME%! Tell us about yourself.

Added delbotmsg and undelbotmsg commands 🥳🥳

The delbotmsg command can be used to restrict bots from your group. Any messages sent via a bot will be deleted by EpicLightBot.
Usage:
!delbotmsg @<bot username>
e.g. !delbotmsg @nnbot to have messages sent via whisper bot deleted automatically.

To stop deleting a bots messages you can use the command undelbotmsg
Usage:
!undelbotmsg @<bot username>

Bug fix:
Leaving the group without sending text messages and joining the group again won't make Lightbot welcome(firstmsg) you twice now.

New year update! 🥳🥳
+info about old features.

It's been a tough time now. People are agreeing with each other but it's soo hard when you can't even high five the other person. Introducing *drumrolls* the hifi command. Now give virtual hifi's to all your friends with (almost?) zero chance of any biological virus spreading through it.
Go ahead and give it a try.

Added !hifi command to fulfil your `high fiv`ing needs.

Other related commands:
!hug
!slap
!give

Added service hilight 🥳🥳

Finally you can turn on or off the feature where Light says

Hi back!
 I'm Light

By default this service will be on
You can turn it off using !hilight off
