How to write a Discord Role Reaction Bot in Python w/ Discord.py

[@drama_lvl1]

Thanks for the video :) I'm glad it still works in 2023

[@theminegineer6170]

Thanks for the help, took me ages to find a good tutorial for this!

[@kaustubhdoval5552]

I am getting no warnings but just getting an error " Parameter 'payload' value is not used" what can be the cause of this?

[@AbhigyanTrips]

Well, either you didn't pass payload, or missed it in one of the variables assigned.

[@swordgamers8344]

can someone tell me how I can show back or print the number of members of a role?... I've been looking around but almost everything is either too complicated or out-dated...

[@aristology6912]

For some reason my bot cannot find me, it keeps giving me the "Member not found" message, how do I fix this?

[@WolfeWinters]

By default bots can't see everyone in guild.members, only themselves. You will want to use Intents to fix this intents = discord.Intents.all() client = discord.Client(intents=intents) You will also need to enable it on the discord application page for your bot, you will get an error starting the bot otherwise. Once that is done, the code he wrote in the video should work. See here for additional details: stackoverflow.com/questions/64148371/discord-bot-can-only-see-itself-and-no-other-users-in-guild

@Michael Benedict wdym?

[@seldian]

I may be wrong here, maybe not. I found though that this didnt work with built in emojis. I had to use custom ones added to the server. Side note, did anyone have issues with it not removing roles? I copy/pasted and changed it to member.remove_roles but to no effect.

[@seldian]

Another note. Not sure how his remove works, but from what I read myself and others ran into an issue where adding roles worked but not removal. From what I can see, documentation says the remove function doesn't pass in a 'member' object with the payload. I think there are some work around but that's likely beyond me.

[@dev.kochevnik]

@@seldian yeah i got the same problem, it can't find member through the payload

[@spadelaspade3345]

to do it with the build in emojis is weird. what you want to do is in the on_raw_reaction_add function, add a line that says print(payload.emoji.name). if you react to the message with the built in emoji's, the output should give you the emoji you could copy and paste into the function

[@CrunchySpon]

how do you make it so you can only select one role and not multiple of the same message

[@churchguy8325]

Help, my bot can only add roles but not remove them

[@ColliefarmerYT]

by the way if you have probelms with adding roles go to server settings, roles and drag the bot role at the top but below the owner rank if you have one

[@zeral1317]

Thank you, this saved me a lot of time!

[@ColliefarmerYT]

@@zeral1317 actually nevermind you need to put it on the top of the highest role of the options of the bot NOT OVER THE OWNER Sorry for miscommunication

[@zeral1317]

@@ColliefarmerYT I believe that you don’t need an owner role since the user who owns the server has all the permissions even without any roles anyway

[@corentinphilys2344]

guild = guild.member

[@aristology6912]

You're reacting to the wrong message. The if statement defines the variable "guild" *if* the message id is whatever you put there. If the message id *is not* that, then the variable won't get defined.

[@coler7975]

it would be cool if you can do more of a video where you can make your own so you don't have to keep coding it when you want a new one

12:40 you could just use **if member:** instead of **if member is not None:**

Czar.J you could also just use administrator for people you want to use the roles instead of specific role perms

[@WolfeWinters]

@@JR-ub2wt You could make a list of IDs and check if the payload message_id is in that list using something like if id in list: where id is the payload's message_id and list is the list of allowed IDs

you need to define guild i think its something like payload.guild.roles

It should be: message_id = payload.message_id

[@aristology6912]

@Zarkiber is right, whenever you get the "Attribute" Error message, it's because you put a "." instead of a "_".

The error means that you referenced guild after the guild code ran.

Hey, the code here is a bit outdated. I found the solution. Instead of member = discord.utils.find(lambda m : m.id == payload.user_id, guild.members) use member = payload.member
