I am able to send messages to my discord channel via webhook very easily, however, when trying to add reactions to the messages it's very difficult, considering my programming is still trivial.
The code line I have right now is:
data_count=1
webhook.send(content=discord.Reaction(message="test", data=data_count, emoji="đź‘Ť"), file=discord.File("american_eagle_excited.gif"), embed=discord.Embed(title="Sample Embed", description="This is the description"))
Everything, when I break down the parameters I can get to work besides the discord.Reaction class. I feel like I am missing something very easily and after trying to read through the class requirements I had to finally make my way to StackOverflow.
To add a reaction you need the discord.Message instance which is returned by the webhook.send method, you then add the reaction with message.add_reaction
message = webhook.send("test", wait=True, ...) # `wait=True` is really important, if we don't set this the bot will not wait for the message to be returned
await message.add_reaction("đź‘Ť")

I'm trying to make this command notify my admins of a bot test and need it to mention the user who called the command. How would I go about that? I don't fully understand how to get that information with slash commands.
#client.slash_command(name= "test", description="(For Deputies or Leader only) Checks the operational state of the client.", guild_ids=[806043206030589952])
#has_any_role(leader_id, deputy_id)
async def test(interaction:Interaction):
bot_log = channel_up(940125176723554394)
await bot_log.send(f'<#&806045254834847776>,{} has started diagnostics for the bot. Please ignore any possible disturbances for the next minute or so.')
Thanks in advance for the advice, it's the first discord bot I've ever created.
EDIT:
In documentation, I found the solution. I have to use interaction.user.mention to get it to mention the user who sent the command. Or at least in theory, I'm dealing with a different issue now. Hopefully this helps people who also were as confused as me out.
You can use the interaction.user.name function with an # at the beginning.
The code should look something like this:
await interaction.response.send_message("#"+str(interaction.user.name))
This is my code
activity=discord.Game(name="Padamine", type=1)
Don’t worry, I put it in a #bot.event function. The problem is that my bot don’t put the custom status in his status. Can you help me?
Use change_presence() method to change bot status:
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game("Padamine"))
If it's a static status (a status that won't change), it is recommended to use the activity keyword argument inside the bot constructor. If you want to make a dynamic status (a status that changes every now and then), use #tasks.loop of discord.ext.tasks (you can find more about tasks here)
# depending on what you name your variable, client/bot
client/bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="yourprefix", activity=discord.Game("Padamine")) # removed type because there is no such key word argument
Also, it is recommended to not use await bot.change_presence() inside your on_ready event, I am mentioning this because many people do it and it's not good:
Discord has a high chance to completely disconnect you during the READY or GUILD_CREATE events (1006 close code) and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. As noted in the docs, on_ready is also triggered multiple times, not just once.
Basically: don't do anything in on_ready. (except printing that it came online obviously)
Hello everyone I'm new to coding but I want to code the bot mentioned in the title so my questions are:
-Is there a command that reads the game activity?
-What is the command that makes the bot move someone?
I set the basics up but don't really know where to go from here:
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Online');
});
client.login('*the token*');
All of a user's game activities are stored as an array, activities, within the presence property of your user object.
For example, if you want to get the game statuses of the author of a message, you can use <message>.author.presence.activities to get that array. However, since a user may have multiple statuses (custom statuses, games, Rich Presences, etc), you'll generally want to get a specific activity.
If you need to check if the name of the status is a certain one, you'll need to get the specific index first, such as <message>.author.presence.activities[0].name. If you want to check each status and see if any of them align with a needed name, you can use a for...of loop.
For more information, here is the documentation on the presence of a user.
As for "moving someone," you are not giving any more explanation as to what you mean, so that should be implemented once your bot can properly detect certain games.
In the meantime, try following a guide on how to turn user input into actual commands, and then this may make more sense if you are still facing issues.
I need help reacting to the most recent message. This can be in a specified channel or just in the server. The main thing I need help with is getting the message id or info about the most recent message, the reacting part I can do.
Please let me know if there is a solution, as everything I have looked up hasnt produced any results.
Thanks!
There are quite a few methods to get the last message in a channel. Assuming you already have a specific channel in which you want to react. Use
last_message = channel.last_message #channel must be a discord.Channel
The docs specify that this could sometimes get the wrong message, hence we use
messages = await channel.history(limit=1).flatten()[0]
References:
last_message
history
Tip:
Try searching for the relevant class in the docs instead of googling
I have a mod mail bot that went down for a few hours, so I want to fetch all the dms the bot received while it was down.
I have tried looping through all the members and checking the .dmChannel property but since it's cache based, it doesn't work
So the next step would be to fetch the channel, but you need the ID to do so, and I haven't found a way to get that.
I thought of using .send() on the members which would give me the channel object but it would probably annoy a lot of them.
So is there any other way to get reference to a user's dm channel which isn't cached?
You can use User.createDM to create a DM channel with them if you don't have one already:
const dmchannel = await user.createDM();
