AnimateMyEmojis

Simple and robust Discord bot that allows non Nitro users to use animated emojis and features "yoinking" of other servers' emojis

Code behind AnimateMyEmojis#7240

How to use

Users

• Just send messages containing animated emoji names as if they were normal emojis

  Example: I'm so hyped for tomorrow's release :aPES_PogHype:

• The bot will then delete your message and send it again using a custom webhook with all the emojis converted and animated

• The replaced message will have a 🚫 reaction under it, you can use it to delete the message (timeout of 5 minutes)

Server Staff

• Invite the bot to your server
• Make sure the bot has access to the channels where you want it to convert emojis! You can check by looking for it in the members sidebar

"Yoinking" emojis

This allows you to add emojis from another server to your own server

• Ping the bot and follow that with the emojis to yoink

  Example: @AnimateMyEmojis :some_emoji: :Some_other_emoji:

• The "literal" emojis need to be already converted to real emoji format, meaning that :some_emoji: in plain text wont work, you should use the built in emoji picker

• Non nitro users can do this using links: right click on the emoji, click "Copy Emoji Link" and use the command with the links

  Example: @AnimateMyEmojis https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/777335122562777108.gif?v=1

• This command accepts the emojis even when they are mixed ("literal" and link format) and even when they have other gibberish in between

Keep in mind that you will need the manage emojis permission to use this feature!
