Change log

Added ability to delete a message using the Delete Message node. Supply a variable or ID for the message and the channel it is in to use this node.

Discord Bot Studio v1.3 - Quality of Life Update
The quality-of-life update brings some much needed updates to the DBS application.
What's new in 1.3?

Error log! there is now an error log shown on the "Run Bot" page. Any errors your bot throws while running will be shown here.
Start validation on the "Run Bot" page. Now if you try to run a bot and it doesn't actually start due to an error, that will be shown to you on the page.
Store Value in Variable node- you can now use syntax: [number]+ to take everything from the specified word and beyond. For example, using 3+ would store the 3rd word and beyond.
Visual changes to the node editor. Solid paths, more rounded nodes, and node header gradients.
Rules changes: when a user is warned/kicked/banned based on the bot's rules, the messages they sent to cause this infraction will be deleted.
Added timestamps to error logs (in file).
Bug fixes.
New node styling
Error logs
You can now see errors from your bot within the DBS "Run Bot" page. This makes it easier to find out when a command or event is not working as expected.

This is a major update because of the changes to the built-in variable system. You can see how to use that new system using the video below.
All new features:
* Reaction Collectors! This lets you listen for reactions on messages, and add responses based on each reaction type. This makes reaction roles possible! * Added a new variable system. This adds a button next to response fields "Insert Variable", that lets you quickly insert variables into the field. Variables are now referenced using ${variableName} notation. You can also save certain response types to variables, right inside the node. * Added Server and Global variables. These are persistent, meaning they are stored to file and won't be deleted when your bot stops running. * Added Remove Role from User response type. * Changed the default nodes when you create a new bot. They now use the new variable system, and are less prone to erroring. * Made certain responses synchronous, so that you can access them as a variable later on in the same response sequence. * Bug fixes.
