ER:LC guide

How to choose an ER:LC Discord bot

Most ER:LC communities need the same handful of things. Here is a checklist for comparing bots, and how Sample Bot answers each point.

01

What should an ER:LC Discord bot do?

At minimum: run sessions and session votes, track staff shifts and quotas, moderate in Discord and in game, handle tickets and applications, and verify Roblox accounts. Beyond that, the biggest difference is whether it connects to your ER:LC server through PRC’s API, because that is what lets it show who is in game, run commands and build a CAD.

02

A checklist for comparing bots

  • Uses PRC’s official API, so it works with your own server key and does not need anything installed in the game.
  • Sessions, votes, shifts and quotas that are free to use without limits.
  • Moderation that works in game, so a Discord warning, kick or ban reaches the player.
  • A CAD with a live map, if you run police or fire roleplay.
  • Per-server setup and branding, so the bot looks like your server.
  • Each server’s data kept separate from every other server’s.
  • A price you understand, with no features held back that you need on day one.
03

What is the best Discord bot for a realistic, strict ER:LC roleplay server?

A strict, realistic server needs the bot to enforce the same rules a real agency would. These are the parts of Sample Bot built for that:

  • A CAD with six terminals (civilian, law enforcement, fire and EMS, DOT, dispatch and staff), each seeing only what that role should, with records, warrants, plates, licences, BOLOs and an audit log of every look-up.
  • 911 calls from the game plotted on a live map where they were dialled, with street and postal.
  • AI dispatch by voice, so units talk on the radio instead of typing: panic alerts every unit with the nearest one named, backup sends the right number of units, and directions are turn by turn by road.
  • Required bodycams: a server can make every signed-on unit stream a bodycam, which turns on by itself when they sign on.
  • Sign on only in game, so nobody is on the board who is not actually playing.
  • Automatic traffic stops and wanted alerts read from the game itself.
  • Staff actions checked against permissions, whether they come from Discord, the mod panel or the staff voice assistant.

How does Sample Bot answer that list?

It is free to add, and sessions, votes, shifts, quotas, tickets, applications, moderation, Roblox verification, giveaways and more are free in every server. It uses PRC’s official API with your own key. Sample Plus+ adds the CAD and live map, automations you draw on a canvas, regions, automod, your own name, logo and banners, and AI dispatch in the desktop app. Every server’s data is kept to that server alone.

05

What does Sample Bot cost?

Free to add. Sample Plus+ is $50 USD once per server, $9.99 USD a month, or 8,000 Robux, and our team sets your server up for you.

06

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Add it, then open server setup (or use /config in Discord), and the free features work immediately. Servers can also look at others running it in the server directory.
