Replying to a message through a discord bot-CodePudding

I want when I say

$script

to output just any message for now in this below example 'pong'.

I have my token in a separate .env file so I don't need to worry about it

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.all()



client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$', intents=intents)


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

@bot.command(name="script")
async def getscript(ctx):
    await ctx.channel.send("pong")

    
client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

this is the code below, but upon saying $script, nothing happens the bot is online and it works if I just send a message, but I'm not sure why this isn't working can someone help me out here? I have look at the "do any of these posts answer your question?" section and nothing helps.

CodePudding user response：

Well yes it doesn't work because you're not running it. You have both a Client and a Bot. Your Bot has the $script command, but you're running the Client...

# You have both a Client and a Bot
client = discord.Client(...)
bot = commands.Bot(...)

# The command is registered to the Bot
@bot.command(...)

# You're running the Client 
client.run()

Either use a Bot or a Client, but you can't use both. Get rid of your Client and use the Bot for everything instead. commands.Bot is a subclass of discord.Client so it can do everything a Client can do.

There's 0 reason to have both.
