I'm trying to create a basic command that, after a user types /'command_name', the bot waits for the user to send another message (it would be nice if there was an option for a little text field) and then does something with the message they send.
class Test(commands.Cog, name="test"):
def __init__(self,bot):
self.bot = bot
@commands.hybrid_command(name='create_response', with_app_command=True)
async def create_response(self, ctx):
def check(msg):
return msg.author == ctx.author
msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
await ctx.send(msg)
This code does nothing and sometimes(?) errors out.
The expected output would be something like:
User: /create_response
Bot reply: [______] (this would be a text box after they type the /create_response command
User: "Hello"
Bot reply: "Hello"
To get the contents of messages and use the on_message event (this is what your bot is waiting for) you need to enable Intents.message_content:
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands
# This factory method that creates a Intents with everything enabled
# Except the privileged gateway intents (presences, members, and message_content);
# You also need to authorize privileged intents in the developer portal;
# For greater control of the bot's cache
# I recommend using Intents(<option>=True) to select only what you need
intents = Intents.default()
# Enabling the message content intent
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
You can also receive the text as a command parameter:
@commands.hybrid_command(name='create_response')
async def create_response(self, ctx: commands.Context, *, text: str):
"""This command creates a response
Args:
text: type the text you want to send
"""
await ctx.reply(text)
- I'm using docstrings to describe the function of the command and arguments. These descriptions will automatically be used by the application commands;
- I recommend reading this article on how to develop slash commands using the
discord.ext.commandsframework.
