$authorAvatar
This function returns the URL of the avatar for the user who triggered the command.
Important Considerations
Discord automatically embeds images when a link to an image is included in a message. See the examples below to understand the different ways Discord handles image links.
- If a message contains only a link to an image, Discord sends only the image embed.
- If a message contains a link to an image and additional text, Discord sends both the link and the image embed.
To send the image as an attachment without displaying the link, use the $attachment function.
To display the avatar URL as plain text (without embedding the image), enclose the function in backticks: `$authorAvatar`.
Usage

Arguments
Return Server Avatar Instead (yes/no, default is no): An optional argument. If set toyes, the function will return the user's server avatar (if they have one) instead of their global avatar. Defaults tono.
