NEX Queue talks to Discord through a bot you control. The bot reads role memberships and (optionally) posts a live waitlist embed. This page walks you through creating it. You only do this once. Save the token somewhere safe — anyone with it can act as your bot.

​
1. Create the application & bot

  1. Go to discord.com/developers/applications.
  2. Click New Application, name it (e.g. MyServer Queue), accept terms.
  3. In the left sidebar open Bot.
  4. Set a profile picture and username for the bot if you want.
  5. Click Reset Token → Yes, do it → Copy.
    • This is your DiscordBotToken. Paste it somewhere safe immediately — Discord will only show it once.

​
2. Enable the right intents

Still on the Bot page, scroll down to Privileged Gateway Intents and turn on:
  • ✅ Server Members Intent — required (the bot reads role membership)
  • ✅ Presence Intent — optional, only useful for the live-feed online count
Click Save Changes.
If you skip Server Members Intent, the bot will see every player as a non-member of every role — meaning no priority, no tier, and if whitelist is on, no one can join. This is the #1 cause of “everyone is getting kicked” tickets.

​
3. Invite the bot to your guild

  1. In the sidebar, open OAuth2 → URL Generator.
  2. Under Scopes, check bot.
  3. Under Bot Permissions, check at minimum:
    • View Channels
    • Send Messages
    • Manage Messages (only needed if you use the live feed)
    • Read Message History (only needed if you use the live feed)
  4. Copy the generated URL at the bottom, open it in a browser, pick your guild, Authorize.
The bot should now appear in your server’s member list (offline is fine — it goes online when the resource starts).

​
4. Turn on Developer Mode (in your own Discord)

You need this to grab IDs from your guild.
  • Discord → User Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode ON.
Now right-clicking any user, role, channel, or server gives you a Copy ID option.

​
5. Collect the IDs you’ll paste into config.lua

You’ll need:
IDHow to grab itGoes into
Guild (server) IDRight-click your server name → Copy Server IDConfig.Server.DiscordServerID
Bot tokenFrom step 1Config.Server.DiscordBotToken
Channel ID (optional)Right-click the channel for the live feed → Copy Channel IDConfig.Server.LiveFeedChannelID
Role IDsServer Settings → Roles → right-click each role → Copy Role IDConfig.Tiers, Config.Permissions.PriorityLevels, Config.Permissions.BypassRoles, Config.Whitelist.Roles
Role IDs are also visible in Server Settings → Roles — hover the ⋯ menu next to a role. Both work.

​
6. (Optional) Live waitlist channel

If you want the auto-updating queue embed:
  1. Make a channel like #queue-status and lock writing to the bot only (so players can’t spam it).
  2. Make sure the bot has View Channel, Send Messages, and Manage Messages there.
  3. Copy the channel ID and put it in Config.Server.LiveFeedChannelID.
  4. In Config.Server, leave EnableLiveFeed = true.
The bot reuses a single message and edits it in place — it will not flood the channel.

​
7. Done

Head back to Installation — Step 4 to paste these into config.lua. The full mapping of every config key lives in Configuration.

Security checklist

  • ❗ Never commit config.lua to a public GitHub repo with the token in it.
  • ❗ Never paste the token in a Discord ticket or screenshot. Treat it like a password.
  • If you ever think the token leaked, return to Discord Developer Portal → Bot → Reset Token and update config.lua.
  • The token is server-side only — it is never sent to FiveM clients.
