How does my discord bot react to messages outside the / command

Question

Let's take a quiz as an example, the user makes the command "/quiz rules" to start a quiz about the rules. How do I then make the bot accept the user's next messages as answers?

Python - nextcord

@client.slash_command(guild_ids=[testing_id])
async def quiz(interaction: Interaction,
               value: str = SlashOption(
                   name="value",
                   choices=["rules"]
               )):

Thank you

So you'll want to add a client event listener and do something when the on_message event fires.

• Nextcord event reference
• on_message event

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    # do something with the message here

So for your quiz example; you'd have to keep track of when a quiz has started, which channel it's in, and which user initiated it (provided you only want a particular user answering) and then parse the message to see if it's an answer to the question it was asked. But using on_message is what I would do.

You could also use the wait_for method to wait for a message from a particular user as well.
