It regards user imput, so like I was commissioned to do a prompt but I've never done this so like this is what i found online
playerChoice = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check(ctx.author), timeout=30)
I get some of it, but I don't get the 'message' part and the 'check = check'.
Here's my full code
#client.command()
async def event(ctx):
await ctx.send("Prompt will continue in DMs.")
embed = discord.Embed(title="Event Prompt", description="Please specify the type of event.")
embed.set_footer("Prompt will expire in ## seconds")
await ctx.author.send(embed=embed)
eventType = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check(ctx.author), timeout=30) # I want it to send the event type.
await ctx.send(eventType)
I'd like an explaination and a possible way to improve that and make it work. Thanks in advance

#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
channel = message.channel
await channel.send('Say hello!')
def check(m):
return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
await channel.send('Hello {.author}!'.format(msg))
await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
message refers to the event. You could have also do it for the event reaction_add, voice_state_update, etc.
So this means you are waiting for a message. The check defines what you are waiting for exactly. It is a method and returns a True or False.
In my case I am waiting for a message event which is posted in the same channel and has the message content "hello".
If you didn't have such check it would pick up a message that might have been send by a different author, in a different channel, in a different guild.

I'm trying to make and event that checks to see if the channel id is equal to a specific id, if it is then the bot adds a reaction to that message. I'm not quite sure how to do this and have looked up many solutions but none of them help. There are some errors in the code that I still have to figure out like channel.id is not and actual command. Here is my code:
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
await discord.Client.get_channel(<channel_id>)
if channel.id == <channel_id>:
await message.add_reaction("✔️")
await message.add_reaction("❌")
discord.Client is a type, not a instance. And there is a message property inside discord.Message.
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.channel.id == <channel_id>:
await message.add_reaction("✔️")
await message.add_reaction("❌")
For example:
I use !react command and then after 1 min I send a message and then the bot reacts to the message with a specific emoji. Is it possible?
#commands.command()
#commands.cooldown(1, 600, commands.BucketType.user)
async def cookieme(self, ctx):
...somehow remembers to this name and next time the user say something it reacts to the msg with a cookie
I don't really understand your question but I will try to help you:
#bot.command()
async def react(ctx):
def check(message):
return ctx.author == message.author and ctx.channel == message.channel
react = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check)
await react.add_reaction("🍪")
I've been troubleshooting this thing for days and this is the last straw.
Reaction_add only works if I do !on_message in the server 'general' channel, if I directly message the bot, it doesn't do anything. Though, funny thing is, if I message bot directly first and the enter !on_message in server general channel, bot reacts in general channel and in direct messages.
After TimeoutError I get thumbs down in direct messages.
This is the code, straight from discord.py documentation and I'm using Bot as Client:
#bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def on_message(ctx):
channel = ctx.channel
await ctx.send('Send me that 👍 reaction, mate')
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'
try:
reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await channel.send('👎')
else:
await channel.send('👍')
It's funny that wait_for(message, ...) message works just fine everywhere.
Tried adding this and still no luck.
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.dm_reactions = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description=DESCRIPTION, intents=intents)
It's because on_message is a bot event, which means it does not need to be invoked as a command, you can call the command with (), but in your case, you are trying to use the command as a event.
This is an event
#bot.event
async def on_message(message):
channel = message.channel
await message.channel.send('Send me that 👍 reaction, mate')
def check(reaction, user):
return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'
try:
reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await message.channel.send('👎')
else:
await message.channel.send('👍')
This is a command, a command needs to be invoked with a function, in this case, it would be your prefix + thumbs !thumbs hope both of these help.
#bot.command()
async def thumbs(ctx):
channel = ctx.channel
await ctx.send('Send me that 👍 reaction, mate')
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'
try:
reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await ctx.send('👎')
else:
await ctx.send('👍')
I added intents = discord.Intents.all() and that seems to do the trick, though it's not efficient because I might not need all privileged intents.
Input on issue would be helpful.
So modern documentation on the bot.wait_for() coroutine is not super detailed, and I'm having trouble getting it to work with reactions. Would appreciate feedback.
Python 3 with Discord.py
## Test Role Add
#kelutralBot.command(name='testreaction')
async def testReaction(ctx):
member = ctx.message.author
message = await ctx.send("This is a test message.")
emojis = ['\u2642','\u2640','\u2716']
for emoji in emojis:
await message.add_reaction(emoji)
def check(reaction, user):
return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '\u2642'
try:
reaction, user = await kelutral.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await ctx.send("Window has passed to self-assign pronouns. Please DM a mod if you would still like to do so.")
else:
print(reaction)
male = get(member.guild.roles, name="He/Him")
await member.add_roles(male)
print("Assigned " + member.name + " He/Him pronouns.")
Two things were wrong.
First, don't use Client and Bot in the same command. Bot is sufficient for both.
Second, Unicode Emoji for Discord are treated as '\U000#####', which was the biggest problem.
Once we solved that, everything worked as intended.
The problem here is that you are checking if the person who sent the reaction is the author of the message that contains the message, which is only satisfied by the bot that reacted. Also consider using a role ID instead (server settings > roles > left click role > right click role > copy ID). You also want to be consistent with kelutral or kelutral Bot throughout the command.
#kelutralBot.command(name='testreaction')
async def testReaction(ctx):
member = ctx.message.author
message = await ctx.send("This is a test message.")
emojis = ['\u2642','\u2640','\u2716']
for emoji in emojis:
await message.add_reaction(emoji)
def check(reaction, user):
return user == member and str(reaction.emoji) == '\u2642' # check against the member who sent the command, not the author of the message
try:
reaction, user = await kelutralBot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await ctx.send("Window has passed to self-assign pronouns. Please DM a mod if you would still like to do so.")
else:
print(reaction)
male = ctx.message.guild.get_role(ROLE_ID_GOES_HERE) # put your role ID here #
await member.add_roles(male)
print(f"Assigned {member.name} He/Him pronouns.")
Keep in mind your code only works for the "male" role, you have to implement a different check function to use it for everything.
I want to delete a specific message from a specific user using discord.py
The user's id is: 462616472754323457
The message that he can't send: lmao
So if he sends lmao, it deletes the message and send "You can't do that <#462616472754323457>
Try discord.TextChannel.purge.
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if len(await message.channel.purge(limit=200, check=lambda x: ('lmao' in x.content.strip().lower()) and x.author.id == 462616572754323457)) > 0:
await message.channel.send('You are not allowed to do that, <#462616572754323457>')
Accounting for when the bot is offline, the bot will check 200 messages before the current message and delete any that are from 462616572754323457 and have 'lmao' in the contents. (You can further enhance this by using re.)
You can use the on_message event, which triggers whenever a message is sent.
#bot.event
async def on_message(message):
await bot.process_commands(message) # add this if also using command decorators
if message.author.id == 462616472754323457 and "lmao" in message.content.lower():
await message.delete()
await message.channel.send(f"You can't do that, {message.author.mention}")
