# Birthday Cog for Red-DiscordBot

This cog allows you to assign a special role to users on their birthday and send them a celebratory message with cake (or pie) emojis! Supports both traditional prefix commands and slash commands.

## Installation

To install this cog, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have Red-DiscordBot V3 installed.
2. Add the repository to your bot:

   ```
   [p]repo add Pac-cogs https://github.com/pacnpal/Pac-cogs
   ```

3. Install the Birthday cog:

   ```
   [p]cog install Pac-cogs birthday
   ```

4. Load the cog:

   ```
   [p]load birthday
   ```

Replace `[p]` with your bot's prefix.

## Setup

Before using the cog, you need to set it up. You can use either prefix commands or slash commands:

1. Set the birthday role:

   ```
   [p]birthdayset role @Birthday
   ```
   or
   ```
   /birthdayset role @Birthday
   ```

   **Note:** The bot's role must be above the birthday role in the server's role hierarchy, but users assigning the birthday role do not need to have a role above it.

2. Add roles that can use the birthday command:

   ```
   [p]birthdayset addrole @Moderator
   ```
   or
   ```
   /birthdayset addrole @Moderator
   ```

3. (Optional) Set the timezone for role expiration:

   ```
   [p]birthdayset timezone America/New_York
   ```
   or
   ```
   /birthdayset timezone America/New_York
   ```

4. (Optional) Set a specific channel for birthday announcements:

   ```
   [p]birthdayset channel #birthdays
   ```
   or
   ```
   /birthdayset channel #birthdays
   ```

   If not set, the birthday message will be sent in the channel where the command is used.

## Usage

To assign the birthday role to a user:

```
[p]birthday @User
```
or
```
/birthday @User
```

This will assign the birthday role to the user and send a celebratory message with random cake (or pie) emojis. The role will be automatically removed at midnight in the specified timezone.

## Features
