Learn how to invite Roleplay Helper, connect the premium CAD UI to your bot commands, configure a server-scoped economy, and wire shop items to roles for your GTA-style cops and robbers roleplay.
Use Get Started or Login from the home page to login using your Discord account. We only use this to show servers you can manage.
Open Manage Servers to see every guild where you are owner, administrator, or have Manage Server. Select a guild to open its control panel.
Enable the CAD and economy modules for your guild. The CAD mirrors your in-Discord commands, and the economy powers your shops and payouts.
Create shops, add custom items, and optionally link them to Discord roles. When a player buys a role-linked item, Roleplay Helper will grant that role in your server.
Visit the invite page and authorize the application. Roleplay Helper requests the scopes it needs to register slash commands, send messages, and manage roles that you may configure.
If you run into issues, make sure you are logged into the correct Discord account in your browser, and that pop-up blockers do not interfere with the OAuth2 authorization flow.
The dashboard is where you configure each guild. Use it to adjust your CAD, economy, shops, and permissions in one place.
The CAD is a visual layer on top of your bot’s data and is part of the premium feature set. It’s meant for civilians and officers who want a quick way to access records, characters, and more.
The CAD web UI is a premium feature. It gives officers a clear, live view of searches, citations, arrests, and other records created through your bot commands. It also allows civilians to manage their characters, add vehicles, weapons, and more!
The CAD visualizes what users create within your server. Use it to see the results of commands like name searches, citations, arrests, and more in one place.
All records stay inside the guild that created them. Officers only see the data for the server they are working in, keeping communities cleanly separated.
Typical flows include running a name search, checking prior citations, logging a new citation or arrest, and then using those records in-character during traffic stops or investigations.
Roleplay Helper keeps each server’s money separate. Use the economy tools to support GTA-style jobs, fines, and payouts without relying on a generic global currency.
Each guild runs its own money and balances. Nothing is shared between servers, so you can customize values to match your lore or roleplay city economy.
Use your existing commands to pay players for jobs, fines, or rewards. The dashboard helps you tweak base amounts, limits, or restricted roles to fit your expectations.
Players can check their balance directly in Discord with your configured commands. The web dashboard can mirror those numbers for easy-to-view data.
Shops are the core of your in-character economy. You design the items; Roleplay Helper handles pricing, ownership, and role changes when players buy specific items.
You design the items: cars, houses, licenses, insurance, tools, or anything else your RP server needs. Roleplay Helper just handles pricing, stock, and ownership.
Optionally attach a Discord role to an item. When a user buys or uses it (depending on your config), they receive that role — perfect for gun licenses, job roles, radio channels, or VIP access.
Money from a purchase can be routed to a specific owner, like a business, faction, or character. This keeps your cops-and-robbers style economy moving between players instead of a single global bank.
Example uses: gun license items that grant a license role, insurance items that grant an “Insured” role, or business ownership items that unlock private channels.
Limit configuration tools to trusted staff while still letting players fully interact in-character through Discord.
Only members with Manage Server (or Administrator/owner) can open the admin dashboard for a guild.
Use Discord’s Integrations > Bots and Apps menu to control which roles can use CAD or economy-related slash commands. Alternatively, you can use the permission editors through the Modules Sidebar inside your server’s dashboard. Discord’s Integration Permissions will override your custom-set permissions.
Treat the CAD as your in-character computer system. Use roles and permissions to decide who can see records, run name searches, or create citations and arrests.
Players stay inside Discord; the dashboard exists mostly for staff and configuration — the exception being the CAD system. Your roleplay rules decide how the money, roles, and CAD data are used in-character.
Players earn money in-character using your configured commands (jobs, patrols, robberies, tickets, fines, etc.). They then spend that currency in shops you create for vehicles, properties, licenses, or perks.
Depending on how you configure things, players can browse shops, buy items, and trigger role-based effects directly from Discord. A shop item can represent things like a gun license, job contract, or radio access.
When users run commands to create citations, arrests, or warrants, this data will reflect immediately inside the CAD’s UI. The CAD is useful for a better experience to avoid using commands for each function. LEO may be allowed to search names, vehicles, and weapons, while civilians may be allowed to create characters, vehicles, and weapons.
Re-invite the bot with the proper application command scope. Then open Server Settings > Integrations > Bots and Apps to confirm commands are not disabled per role or channel. Don’t worry about data loss — we have a data restoration system set up for quick reinvites.
Make sure you are logged into the correct Discord account and chose the right guild. If the bot cannot confirm that you have Manage Server, the dashboard will open in a limited, read-only mode.
Confirm the item is linked to a valid role in the dashboard and that the role still exists in Discord. Also check your Discord role hierarchy so the bot’s role is above any roles it needs to grant.
The full CAD UI is a premium feature. If your guild is not upgraded, you will see a locked view. If you are premium and still see no data, make sure users are using the correct commands and that they’re using them in the right guild.
