discord.py bot repeating messages - discord

Question

hi i am trying to make a discord.py bot so i can have a gif chat channel but when someone types a message in that channel then my bot starts repeating his message, pls help if u know.
my code:
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
with open("gif_chater.json", "r+") as file:
data=json.load(file)
if str(message.channel.id) in data:
if message.content.startswith("https://tenor.com/"):
print("wOw")
if not message.content.startswith("https://tenor.com/") and not message.author.id == "760083241133932544":
await message.channel.send("lol pls use gifs in this channel : )")
await message.delete()
exit

Answer 1

The on_message event
The issue is that the bot is constantly responding to itself, and it's because the on_message event triggers not just when users send a message but also when the bot sends a message. As such, once it tells the user that they must only post tenor gifs, it reacts to its own message and goes into an infinite loop, posting and deleting its responses.
Preventing the bot from responding to itself
To prevent the bot from responding to it's own messages, you should add a check at the start of the event like in the discord.py docs:
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
...
Also, the ID check at the end
The last condition in your code before it decides to send a message is checking the ID of the messenger (not message.author.id == "760083241133932544"). I don't know whether it's meant to avoid deleting you or the bot's messages but regardless, the check itself is bugged. message.author.id returns an integer but is then being compared to a string, and due to the conflicting types, will always return False.
To fix it, change your ID to an integer by removing the quotes: not message.author.id == 760083241133932544. As well, you should use the not-equals operator != instead of not to improve readability: message.author.id != 760083241133932544.
Also, since you already checked if the message starts with the website link, you can use an elif statement instead of rechecking the condition, since else/elif guarantees that the previous condition was false (aka, that the message didn't start with the website link):
if message.content.startswith("https://tenor.com/"):
print("wOw")
elif message.author.id != 760083241133932544:
await message.channel.send("lol pls use gifs in this channel : )")
await message.delete()
Fixes combined
With the new changes, your function could look something like this:
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
# Don't respond to the bot's own messages
if message.author == client.user:
return
with open("gif_chater.json") as file:
data = json.load(file)
if str(message.channel.id) in data:
if message.content.startswith("https://tenor.com/"):
print("wOw")
elif message.author.id != 760083241133932544:
await message.channel.send("lol pls use gifs in this channel : )")
await message.delete()
