How to Make a Discord Bot with Python

[@zzz-oc4fe]

Just found your channel. Watched the AI SaaS video and am now on the portfolio site for beginners. The level of detail you put into explaining things in your videos is just right. Please keep making content, thanks a lot.

[@pixegami]

😅 Thanks for your kind works. It is a challenge for me to balance the content to be fast and simple, but still comprehensive enough to learn from, so hearing that it works for you is very encouraging!

@@pixegami you're a great teacher please continue this course

[@AlexTsaava]

the first video i saw on your channel your skills with discord really impressed me

[@jason6569]

This was exactly what I needed. Got it running in 10 minutes and coded what I needed. My one issue, and I know it isn't part of this is how to limit the bot to one channel! I did start it as administrator to test. Removed it and readded it with just manage and send messages in text permissions. Google is not helping and I am stumped. I don't want everyone to use my / commands! Just a specific channel. Again great tutorial, it did what it was supposed to! Thank you!

[@pixegami]

Thank you! To solve your problem, here is one solution I found online: > The easiest way to do this is not actually via code but via permissions on the server. On your server you should find a role with the same name as your bot, whose permissions (including send messages) you can change for seperate channels. Otherwise, I guess you can do it hackily as well by using an if/else statement in the bot logic itself to only respond if the channel ID of the message is the one you want the bot to operate in.

[@Maple38]

Great tutorial. I looked through a lot of them, and while they worked, none of them really explained why they did stuff. They just wrote code and expected to follow.

[@pixegami]

Thanks for that feedback! It's something I actively try to achieve in my tutorials, so I'm glad it's coming across.

[@ArunWills7]

the only tutorial that actually works, thanks a ton!

[@pixegami]

Glad it helped!

you are awesome, this is the only one tutorial that works for me

when I want to install the 'pip install discord.py' error comes in and it says "which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects" how do I make it install ?

[@Dark-a242]

Exactly

[@byhelvete4757]

What extensions are you using while coding this?

This helped so much to get started

[@pixegami]

Glad to hear it. Thank you!

[@LavinOficial]

great video, direct and precise, I just want to ask you what happens if I want to give each user an ID, what would the logic be?

Great tutorial! Thanks a lot!

You're welcome!

[@gavinosegura4865]

i copied text by text to just have the bot print hello on the discord and i keep running into issues with on ready await channel.send Attribute error with python. Any suggestions?

[@pixegami]

Hmm, I checked the code recently and it was still working. What is the exact error and what version of discord.py are you using?

[@maheerhuq6708]

Whats the fix?????

[@Daraca5]

Thank you! this was great, half the battle with things like this is getting the thing to run to begin with, so you've gotten me that far, much better tutorial than all the rest I've come across.

[@pixegami]

Awesome! Glad to hear it was useful :)

[@openup8708]

hey great video. i have a question. If I have code written already, how do I implement that code to work with the discord bot? For example, if I have a script written to return output for a certain input, how do I implement this to the discord bot so that if i place an input to the discord channel, it will output the values (from my script I created)

[@SIMP_Toast87]

Best tutorial!❤

[@xinyangwang6422]

I can log in with client and see my user name (bot #...), but I can't see any channel at all. I can see the bot in server settings though. Do you maybe know why?

[@katerinejaimes6585]

Justo lo que necesitaba, me gusta como explica todo mjuy bien, aunque es en ingles es un reto tambien porque estoy aprendiendo asi que es un Plus. Muchas gracias. Una suscriptora mas 😊

[@pixegami]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you were able to understand the video :)

how do you do it in all channels?

[@Alw1130]

When I start a study session, the time is 5 hours later than intended. What is the fix for that?

[@pixegami]

It probably uses the UTC time from the machine your bot is running on. What’s the timezone set on your system? You might have to set it to local time.

jk make sure when you declare your "!" thing theres no spaces like "! " or " !" this saved me hours and worked after i noticed i had a space of some sort

[@Filaskon]

So helpful :D this tutorial is perfect bc i need a bot that runs a command every 24 hrs bc im lazy lol

[@AloneNinja36]

How can I make my Discord bot only appear in one channel and not work in other channels?

[@pixegami]

You can add a condition into the functions so it only does things in a specific channel: "if message.channel.id == YOUR_CHANNEL_ID: ..."

[@lukli425]

It doesnt run for me and It cant resolve discord dot ext

[@pixegami]

Hmm, it could be because you might be using a newer version of the Discord library than what I used in the video, or you have it pointed to the wrong Python environment.

[@78wesley67]

Which add-on do you use for auto generating code?

[@pixegami]

If you did exactly as he did, you should use bot.run(token) instead of client.

it says for me bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/", intents=discord.intents.all()) AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'intents' how do I fix this

[@pixegami]

I think you might be using a different discord.py version than the one used in the tutorial. You'd either have to roll back to the same version, for find the equivalent to "discord.intents.all()" in your current library version.

[@juliodiaz9093]

im trying this tutorial but when i ise the command, theres no response. the async function doesnt even run.

It's possible that the Discord package may have changed or been updated since the video was made :(

hey, it says that there is not module named discord. can you help?

[@bongobears673]

nevermind i got it working

[@pixegami]

Ah, looks like you might not have the discord.py library installed yet. Try running 'pip install discord.py' in your command prompt or terminal. If you're still stuck, check out the GitHub repo for the full setup instructions: github.com/pixegami/simple-discord-bot. Let me know if that helps!
