# Legacy Scripting

**Legacy** refers to Arklynn's **older commands and systems** that were used before the introduction of the new **Scripts** system.\
They are still functional but are gradually being replaced by the more modern, flexible scripts. For new servers or fresh installations, we recommend using the current **Scripts** (under Announcements) instead.

### What Belongs to Legacy?

* **Legacy Announcements** – Creating embeds using the `;ann` command (no buttons, no variables).
* **Legacy Levelup Message** – Simple text message on level up using `{user}` and `{level}`.

### Why Does Legacy Exist?

Some servers have already set up their automations using these older commands and may not want to switch immediately. To avoid breaking existing setups, legacy features remain available for now.

### Should I Still Use Legacy?

**Only if you already have old commands in use.** For all new announcements and level-up messages, the **Scripts** system is the better choice: it supports embeds with fields, buttons, dynamic variables (`{user}`, `{guild.name}`, etc.), and extensive formatting options.
