Step 2 - Setting up Bot
Firstly, go here and create a new application.
Name it whatever you want. After that, go to the bottom and click create application.
Once that's done, You should see "Create bot user" Click it and you've setup the discord side of your bot!
Now, it's time for some scripting! You can do whatever you want with your console application, we will just be loading the bot, but you can do colours, text, console title, etc.

Now a few lines after that, add this:
Go to your bots discord page. It should be here
Click on your bot and scroll down to find token. It should say "Click to reveal" next to it. Click it. And then paste that token where it says YOUR TOKEN HERE in your script.
Your main function should look a bit like this (without the red lines)
Well done, your bot is all setup!

Here are some examples:
Make sure they go in bot_MessageReceived.
and, if you type e and then a dot, you'll get a list of things you can do!
Code:
bot.ExecuteAndWait(async () =>
{
await bot.Connect("YOUR TOKEN HERE");
});
Code:
bot.MessageReceived += bot_MessageReceived;
Code:
static void bot_MessageReceived(object sender, Discord.MessageEventArgs e)
{
}Now, it's time to add commands.

Code:
if(e.Message.RawText.StartsWith("Your Command"))
{
e.Channel.SendMessage(e.User.Mention + "Your reply");
}
else if(e.Message.RawText.StartsWith("Your 2nd Command"))
{
e.User.SendMessage("Direct Messaging");
