Error Handling

In BDScript 2 you can handle errors returned by functions or limiters (such as $cooldown[] or $onlyIf[]).

Error Handling Functions

$try

Used to open the Error Handling block.

$endtry

Used to close the Error Handling block.

$catch

Used to create a sub-block between $try and $endtry that will contain the code that will be executed when an error occurs.

$error[]

Used in the $catch block to return error information.

Possible Arguments

• command - returns the name of the function that returned the error.
• message - returns the error message that was received.
• source - returns the content of the line where the error occurred.
• row - returns the number of the row in the code where the error occurred.
• column - returns the number of the column in the code where the error occurred.

Examples

Function Error

$nomention

$try
  $color[FFFFFF]
  $title[Hi]
  $description[Some broken code;]
$catch
  $color[E74C3C]
  $title[Error Handling]
  $addField[Function:;$error[command]]
  $addField[Error:;$error[message]]
$endtry

Limiter Error

As a way to use Error Handling with Limiter Errors, we’ll use $cooldown[]. With the help of Error Handling, we can make a nice cooldown error message.

To handle only the error of our limiter, we will use a temporary variable and if statements. If $cooldown[] returns an error, the value of the temporary variable will be set to true (in which case our nice error message will be sent).

Note: The error message argument in $cooldown[] must be left blank.

$nomention

$var[cooldownError;false]

$try
  $cooldown[3m;]
$catch
  $var[cooldownError;true]
$endtry

$if[$var[cooldownError]==false]
Hey $username, are you making an example for the guide?
$else
$color[E74C3C]
$author[Oops, $username!]
$authorIcon[$authorAvatar]
$title[You have a cooldown!]
$description[Come back <t:$sum[$getTimestamp;$getCooldown[normal]]:R>.]
$endif
