Poll question which adds the correct amount of reactions. (d.py) - discord

Question

I am trying to make a poll command which adds the correct amount of reactions such as A B C D E etc.
I have already tried this but it was a simple yes or no poll command.
elif message.content.startswith('m/qpoll'):
question = message[8:]
await message.delete()
message = await message.channel.send(f"**New poll:** {question}")
await message.add_reaction('❌')
await message.add_reaction('✔️')
What i am trying to achieve is a command which adds A B C reactions if there is three possible answers and A B C D E if there is five possible answers etc.
The command the user has to use is preferred to be in this format:
m/poll "question" "answer 1" "answer 2" "answer 3"
The command needs to be under a on_message statement as the command package does not work as well for my bot.

Answer 1

A simple way to do it, without using discord.ext.commands :
elif message.content.startswith('m/qpoll'):
content = message.content[8:]
items = content.split(" ")
question = items[0]
answers = '\n'.join(items[1:])
await message.delete()
message = await message.channel.send(f"**New poll:** {question}\n{answers}")
reactions = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'] #replace the letters with your reactions
for i in range(len(items[1:]))
await message.add_reaction(reactions[i])

Here's the poll command I made for my bot
#commands.command()
async def poll(self, ctx):
"""
Conduct a poll (interactive)
?poll
"""
member = ctx.author
member: Member
maker = []
await ctx.send("```What is the Question ❓```")
em = ["🧪", "🧬", "🚀", "🖌️", "🧨"]
def mcheck(m):
return m.author == member
try:
msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', timeout=20.0, check=mcheck)
maker.append(msg.content)
except TimeoutError:
return await ctx.send("```Poll timed out ⏳```")
await ctx.send("```How many options do you want?```")
try:
msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', timeout=20.0, check=mcheck)
except TimeoutError:
return await ctx.send("```Poll timed out ⏳```")
i = int(msg.content)
if i > 5:
return await ctx.send("```A maximum of 5 options for polls```")
await ctx.send("```Enter your options ✔```")
for i in range(i):
try:
await ctx.send(f"```{i + 1}) ```")
msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', timeout=20.0, check=mcheck)
maker.append(msg.content)
await msg.add_reaction("✅")
except TimeoutError:
return await ctx.send("```Poll timed out ⏳```")
poller = Embed(color=0x5EE34)
poller.title = maker[0]
des = ''
for j in range(1, len(maker)):
des += f"```{em[j - 1]} {maker[j]}```\n"
poller.description = des
pr = await ctx.send(embed=poller)
for j in range(i + 1):
await pr.add_reaction(em[j])
def reac_check(r, u):
return pr.id == r.message.id and r.emoji in em
eopt = {e: 0 for e in em}
while True:
try:
reaction, user = await self.bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=20.0, check=reac_check)
e = str(reaction.emoji)
except TimeoutError:
await ctx.send("```Poll Finished ✅```")
break
if e in eopt.keys() and user != self.bot.user:
eopt[e] += 1
eopt = {k: v for k, v in sorted(eopt.items(), key=lambda item: item[1], reverse=True)}
most = next(iter(eopt))
loc = em.index(most)
poller.title = "Results 🏆"
poller.description = f"```Folks chose 📜\n{maker[loc + 1]}```"
return await ctx.send(embed=poller)
As a rule of thumb avoid using on_message to create commands. You can read about commands.Bot() in the docs.
That said you should be able adapt the above example to suit your needs.
