Hello I am creating a discord bot i was trying to add single command but bot doesn't respond to any commands
something like
Bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
#Bot.commands()
async def ping():
print("Pong!")
this thing should respond when I type !ping in to discord client it should print pong in to terminal
but nothing nothing at all
I have tried Bot.add_command(ping) but it says command it's aleady registered i have no idea..
From what I've read from the discord.py docs you should code it like this:
Bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
#Bot.commands()
async def ping(ctx):
ctx.send("Pong!")
When you use 'print' you print the answer on your idle terminal. 'ctx.send' print the answer on discord chat. And every function on discord.py needs and argument.

My discord bot connects just fine, event on_ready is working with no problems. However when I call any of the commands declared with #bot.command, the bot doesn't recognize the message as a command (at least that's what I think it's happening).
Code:
import discord
import pickle
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import bot
token = ""
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', case_insensitive=True, intents=discord.Intents.default())
#bot.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot))
#bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
print('received')
await ctx.send('msg received')
bot.run(token)
That's pretty much it, when I run it the bot connects just fine, but the !test command doesn't work.
Let me know if I didn't add important information, first time asking something here.
EDIT: It's working locally, it doesn't work when it's being hosted on heroku (bot connects and is online, doesn't recognize commands).
Requirements file:
git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
discord~=1.7.3
setuptools~=60.2.0
I have simplest python program of discord bot
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
#bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
print(msg.content)
bot.run('token')
And it prints just empty string. Before that I tried bot.command() but bot simply doesn't responds to it probably because message is empty so like there's no command. I saw this problem mostly occurs for selfbot clients but in my case client is bot. Would be glad for any help
You have to enable the message intents on https://discord.com/developers/applications
and need to pass them to your commands.Bot
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
would be an example of how you can do that.
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)
This is my first time making a discord bot. I've followed every step of the tutorial but my bot doesnt react to the !test command. I do see the bot in the discord server. please help

Firstly, on line 15, your if statement for if(message.content.startswith(!test): is place after the return. The bot will never reach those lines. You will have to move the indent back (indents in python are annoying).
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('!test'):
await message.channel.send("Hello!")
await client.process_commands(message)
Secondly, await client.process_commands(message) only works with a command client and does not work with the base discord.Client(). The client would have to to be something like
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
See What are the differences between Bot and Client? for the difference between discord.Client() and commands.Bot().
I want to create a command that only works if a user is DMing their command. How do I do that? I am using discord.py 1.5.1, and I'm fairly new to discord.py.
Here is my code so far:
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import discord
intents = discord.Intents.all
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$', description='- shows this message', intents=intents)
---- snip ----
#commands.command(brief='a DM command')
async def dm_command(ctx):
# do stuff here
bot.run('TOKEN')
When I try DMing the command, the bot doesn't pick up the DM I sent. Should I specify the command in on_message()?
Here is my code for your query:
#bot.command()
async def dm_command(ctx):
if isinstance(ctx.channel, discord.channel.DMChannel):
#do stuff here
First of all, the decorator you use is not what I was taught when i first learned discord.py, so I changed the decorator from #commands.command(brief='a DM command') to #bot.command() (Feel free to change back if it works for you). Then, the rest is fairly simple. I just checked if the channel was a DM channel, and thats it! If you have any questions about my code or if you have unforseen errors, follow up!
#client.command()
async def dm(ctx):
await ctx.author.send('Hi im a discord bot!')#this is the message that will pop up in ur dms when u input the cmd
client.run('Token')
