Making a Discord.py bot have 2 prefixes-CodePudding

So I've been trying to make my Discord.py bot have 2 prefixes. For example the first one would be "a!" and the second one would be pinging it, but I can't just figure out how to do it. Here is my code :

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('$'))

CodePudding user response：

use the or operator. Not sure what you're trying to do, and I don't have much experience with discord.py over discord.js, but I'll grab a snippet from the Discord.py Quickstart page:

import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if not message.startswith('a!') or not message.startswith(<bot mention>):
        return
    ...

You can supply a list of prefixes to command_prefix, if you want it to include mentions you can also do it like this:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(["!a", "$"])

Try this:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=["hi ","Hi "])
