How to give a variable a role in discord.py - Discord Python-CodePudding

I want to specify that the variable "role" is a role that I created named 'testcom'. So that when i call it in user.add_roles, it will give the user the specified role. Any help? Thank you.

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def testcom(ctx, user: discord.Member):
    role = ##help here ##
    await user.add_roles(role)
    await ctx.send("done")

CodePudding user response：

role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles,name="name_of_the_role_you_need")

This way role is a variable that contains a discord.Role object.

You can also get the role by int id:

role = ctx.guild.get_role(0238023802302) # put your id

I would suggest you to read the content of this gist too.

You need to access the role id from the guild:

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def testcom(ctx, user: discord.Member):
    role = ctx.guild.get_role(role int here)
    await user.add_roles(role)
    await ctx.send("done")
