As the title says, I am trying to make the bot react to its own messages. Here is my example code so far:
from inspect import CO_NESTED
from typing import Literal
from discord.ext import commands
import discord
import random
import asyncio
import time
TOKEN = "xxx"
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):
username = str(message.author).split('#')[0]
user_message = str(message.content)
channel = str(message.channel.name)
print(f'{username}: {user_message} ({channel})')
if message.author == client.user:
return
if "p!react" in user_message.lower():
await message.channel.send("hello!")
await message.add_reaction("đź“°")
client.run(TOKEN)
However, this reacts to the user’s message, not the bot’s. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!
>Solution :
.send() returns a new Message object of the message sent. You’ll want to add the reaction to that message instead.
new_msg = await message.channel.send("hello!")
await new_msg.add_reaction("đź“°")
