Somewhat new to python and getting nowhere with getting this to work. I get the following error on line 23 when typing the command without a mention:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'mention'
I don't why it's trying to use this response section as its for when there's a mention, useless I'm missing something.
import discord
from redbot.core import commands
import random
class boop(commands.Cog):
"""My custom cog"""
def __init__(self, bot):
self.bot = bot
@commands.command()
async def boop(self, ctx, user: discord.User=None):
"""Boop Someone"""
# Your code will go here
author_name = ctx.author.mention
member = random.choice(ctx.guild.members)
randomuser = [f"{author_name} booped {member.mention}",
f"{author_name} booped {member.mention} on the nose",
f"{author_name} booped {member.mention}'s snoot",
f"{author_name} gave {member.mention} a boop"]
mentionuser = [f"{author_name} booped {user.mention}",
f"{author_name} booped {user.mention} on the nose",
f"{author_name} booped {user.mention}'s snoot",
f"{author_name} gave {user.mention} a boop"]
if not user:
await ctx.send(random.choice(randomuser))
else:
await ctx.send(random.choice(mentionuser))
When you run the command without a mention, user becomes None because that is the default value for the parameter that you set in the function definition.
Then:
mentionuser = [f"{author_name} booped {user.mention}",
f"{author_name} booped {user.mention} on the nose",
f"{author_name} booped {user.mention}'s snoot",
f"{author_name} gave {user.mention} a boop"]
You're trying to retrieve the mention attribute of a NoneType. That's where the error results from. To avoid this, include the mentionuser definition in the else block:
...
else:
mentionuser = [f"{author_name} booped {user.mention}",
f"{author_name} booped {user.mention} on the nose",
f"{author_name} booped {user.mention}'s snoot",
f"{author_name} gave {user.mention} a boop"]
await ctx.send(random.choice(mentionuser))
