client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '.')

@client.command(name='play')
async def play(ctx):

    await ctx.channel.send("Hello! welcome to a game where you play my game through discord messages! How yo play: if you want to go write - 'go', left - 'left', right - 'right', back - 'back', sprint 'lgo', click - 'click', jump - 'jump'")

    
    
    x = '100'
    for x in 'play':


        
        msg = await client.wait_for('message')
        response = (msg.content)
        print(response)
    
    
        if response == "go":

            
            keyboard.press('w')
            time.sleep(2)
            keyboard.release('w')
    
        if  response == "left":   
            
            keyboard.press('a')
            time.sleep(2)
            keyboard.release('a')
        
        if response == "right":

            
            keyboard.press('d')
            time.sleep(2)
            keyboard.release('d')
    
        if  response == "back":   
            
            keyboard.press('s')
            time.sleep(2)
            keyboard.release('s')
        
        if response == "jump":

            
            keyboard.press('b')
            keyboard.release('b')
    
        if  response == "click":   
            
            mouse.click('left')
        
        if response == "lgo":

            
            keyboard.press('shift + w')
            time.sleep(5)
            keyboard.release('w')

            

client.run(TOKEN)

I'm making a discord bot that can play my game through discord messages, but I have this weird bug ware it loops 4 times instead of 100 times as it's put to do

Answer 1

It only loops 4 times because you are iterating over the string play.

x = '100' 
for x in 'play':
  print(x)

this outputs:

p
l
a
y

(and completely ignores the 100, as it gets overwritten in the loop)

To loop 100 times use:

x = 100 # number, not string
for i in range(x):
  print(i)

this outputs:

0
1
2
3
...
98
99

and x keeps the value 100
