I have a discord.py bot that when the command is sent through DM, it works. When the command is ran through a server, nothing happens. There is no errors or tracebacks. Here is my code so far.
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = discord.Bot()
TOKEN = "MyToken"
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$")
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx, arg):
await ctx.send(arg)
bot.run(TOKEN)
I don't know whats happening. I gave it the right permissions but it still wont do anything.
So, I don't know for sure if this is the issue, but try this:
I have my bot set as:
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix= '$', description="<desc>")
Rather than yours which is BOTH of these:
bot = discord.Bot()
&
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$")
I think it's only detecting the first value you've given your bot.
For this, I believe you have fiddled it up by using the bot = variable twice, in two different ways. The way I would do it is as following:
First, import our libraries and define the token:
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
TOKEN = "MyToken"
Next, we need to set up the bot variable, as so:
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$', intents=discord.Intents.all()) # I usually add all intents, you can use discord.Intents.default if you like.
I add intents because Discord sometimes gets angry if you do not, so I like to make it a just in case backup.
Now, we create the command:
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx, arg):
await ctx.send(arg)
And lucky last, log into our bot:
bot.run(TOKEN)
Prior to our command, you can enter an on_ready function to verify the bot has logged in correctly:
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"{bot.user} logged in successfully.")
