Trying to make a discord bot but on.message or message.content not working-CodePudding

I want the bot to use the gpt-3 API to answer questions but for some reason on.message is not working

import openai
import discord


openai.api_key = "apikey"

client = discord.Client()

@client.event

async def on_ready():
 print('online')

async def on_message(message):
   
    if message.content.startswith("!ask"):
        print('I read the message')
        

        question = message.content[5:]

        response = openai.Completion.create(
            engine="text-davinci-002",
            prompt=f"{question}\n",
            temperature=0.7,
            max_tokens=1024,
            top_p=1,
            frequency_penalty=0,
            presence_penalty=0
        )

        await message.channel.send(response.choices[0].text)


client.run('token')

Everything works fine and the 'online' appears but after that i don't know what's happening since i am not getting any errors (Sorry if its something obvious i am just now learning)

the

client.run('token')
open.api_key="apikey"

are obviously replaced with the real ones in my code

CodePudding user response：

If you want to register an event, you have to put the client.event decorator on top of the event functions. Your on_message function certainly doesn't have one, so just put one on it.

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    ...

CodePudding user response：

You need to use @client.event for every event

@client.event
async def on_ready():
 print('online')

@client.event # <- this is new
async def on_message(message):
   # ...
