Im making a simple discord server bot in python and im tryan use "sudo" as my command prefix, for some strange reason when i try the prefix ex "sudo hi" or something like that it dosent work. When i try a preifx such as "/" it works. Could anyone explain why?
#!/usr/bin/python3
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "sudo")
#client.event
async def on_ready():
print("Bot is online")
Your current prefix is "sudo", therefore a valid command would be, for example, "sudohi". As #chiragzq suggested, adding a space to your prefix definition should fix your issue.
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "sudo ")

I was using replit (maybe because replit doesnt work?) tryoing to make some code for a Discord bot when I saw this:
Type error: __init__ missing 1 required keyword-only argument: "intents"
Im not really sure what is means
Heres my code (BTW i used pip install discord in shell)
`
import discord
token = "mytoken (not revealing it i guess)"# but even with right token it doesnt work
client = discord.Client()
name = "MIIB.BOT_v1.0"
#client.event
async def on_ready():
print("Bot logged in as ", name, "!")
client.run(token)
on_ready()
#i did *****pip install discord****** in shell btw
`
I tried some variations but not much. I expected:
Bot logged in as botname#6969
Replace
client = discord.Client()
with
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
As per recently(-ish), you need to specify the intents your bot uses when login to the API, so you should populate the Client argument with an intent object.
Calling the default intents, if you don't plan on doing anything with any other that you might need to enable, would look like this
bot_intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(intents=bot_intents)
I am trying to build a Discord bot; which tells you about the weather condition. But no matter what I did I was unable to execute even the simplest commands such as:
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
#bot.command()
async def test(ctx, arg):
await ctx.send(arg)
client = discord.Client()
client.run(token)
I just do not get it on Discord side I enter the command "!test hello" to the chat screen and nothing happens. Please help thanks !
The problem is, that you first define a bot using bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!") then add the command to the bot, but then create a new client using client = discord.Client() and then run the client.
The problem here is that, you never run the bot, which has the command, so instead of
client = discord.Client()
client.run(token)
use
bot.run(token)
I've been using the
import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!")
#client.event
async def on_ready():
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle,
activity=discord.Game(''))
print('Successfully logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
#client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
await ctx.send("Hello! It's great to see you!")
client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))
code for commands. I expected to have it respond "Hello! It's great to see you!" when I said !hello (! = prefix). But it returned nothing. Not even an error. Does anyone know why? Also, please don't show discord bot not responding to commands or Discord command bot doesn't responde (python) because I tried both, and neither worked.
I cant chat here because of lack of reputation so I answer it here instead. you should post the full code to make the job easier.

Cause 1:
You didn't add a prefix. You need a prefix to use the command
look onto your client. Did you tell the prefix already? like:
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "-")
if so, add this and it should work!
.
Cause 2:
You didn't import from discord.ext import commands
this is important if you want to use commands, import that and it should work!
.
Cause 3:
You mixing up client and bot
this might not happen but here it goes, You might mix up client or bot on the decorator, which is #client.command
if you use client (like client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "-")), use #client.command on the decorator, while if you use Bot (bot = commmands.Bot(command_prefix = "-")) then you should use #bot.command on the decorator.
Hope these will help :D
ok, first time ever asking a question so i apologize if i do something wrong. i am trying to use the #bot.command feature and it wont return anything no matter what i do.
from discord.ext import commands
from config import *
from discord import *
import discord
import time
import random
client = discord.Client()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='+')
#bot.command()
async def yes(ctx):
await ctx.send('yes')
print("worked")
bot.add_command(yes)
client.run("token")
bot.run("token")
so in theory when someone types "+yes" is discord it should respond with "yes" as well as print "worked" in the terminal. instead i just get nothing. i know the bot works because i have '''other on_message''' commands but i have to use the offical '''#bot.command''' for this because it will eventually be part of interactivity.
You need to supply the command to the command, That's how I usually do it. Unsure of your method but perhaps try it this way:
client = discord.Client()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='+')
#bot.command(name="yes")
async def yes(ctx):
await ctx.send('yes')
print("worked")
# bot.add_command(yes) # How will it know to map function yes to the command yes?
client.run("token")
bot.run("token)
I have tried looking around the internet for answers but I'm not finding anything that fixes my problem:
import os
import asyncio
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
token = "here is my token"
bot = discord.Client()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
#bot.command()
async def length(ctx):
await ctx.send('your message is {} characters long.'.format(len(ctx.message.content)))
print("test print")
bot.run(token)
The length function does not work at all, and its not printing test print in the console.
Does anyone know what the problem is? there are a few other bot.xxx functions in there that works.
It does not work because you have double bot.
Your should only have bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
