[TUT] Discord Rich Presence

[Hydra]

1. We create an application in https://discord.com/developers/applications

2. We copy the application id:

3. Now we are making the script (start with creating a .lua file)
 

--// discord_c.lua

local app_id = "your_app_key_here"

function ConnectRPC()
   setDiscordApplicationID(app_id)
   if isDiscordRichPresenceConnected() then
      local name = getPlayerName(localPlayer)
      iprint("RPC: Discord RPC is now connected")
      setDiscordRichPresenceAsset("your_app_logo_string", "Yey, this is my app logo")
      setDiscordRichPresenceButton(1, "Join Discord", "url_here")
      setDiscordRichPresenceButton(2, "Connect Server", "url_here")
      --// NOTE: you can show only 2 buttons
      setDiscordRichPresenceState("Playing")
      setDiscordRichPresenceDetails("Playing as: "..name)
   else
      iprint("RPC: Discord RPC failed to connect")
   end
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, ConnectRPC)


--// Now, we reset the rpc details so the status will not be bugged
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStop", resourceRoot, function()
    resetDiscordRichPresenceData()
end)

4. So, we have our discord_c.lua file and now we need to create the meta.xml
 

<meta>
  <info author="YourName" description="YourResourceDescription" type="YourScriptType", version="1.0" />
  
  <script src="discord_c.lua" type="client" cache="false" />
</meta>

5. In the console you can now type refresh and after start theResourceName

Nice guide!

You can upload images to your application on the Discord Developers Platform; these are called "assets" and have a name. You can use these asset names in the first argument of setDiscordRichPresenceAsset.

For example:

-- will display my server's logo asset image
-- with the server name text when mouse hovered over the image
setDiscordRichPresenceAsset("my_logo", "Server Name")
