Custom Actions

Sometimes you want to add a custom action to your character. You can do so with the !a import command or in the Avrae dashboard.

Adding a Custom Action

You can add an action by running:

!a import <paste custom action yaml code here>

Or on your Avrae dashboard, you can add an action by following these steps:

1. Go to Hover over your character and click on the tool icon to "Edit Action."
2. To import one of the actions from below, click on the "Import YML" icon; otherwise, click "New..." to build your own action.
3. Paste the custom yaml code (options below) into the space provided and click "Import."
4. Click Save and Exit.

Your custom action should be usable by running !a "Action Name" in Discord.
