Discord Bot Failed Embed Command.. No error? (py)

Code Help Discord Bots
1

When I run this command nothing appears… No error, no message, nothing. I’ve tried making this a @client.command() but that didn’t help. What am I doing wrong?

This is my code:

@client.event
async def on_message(help):
  if help.content == "meow help":
    help = discord.Embed( title = 'Oh? You need some Help?', description = 'Bot prefix is "meow". If a Command has- Bot Prefix is not Necessary. Heres a list of possible commands and their uses:', color=0x00ff00 )
    help.add_field(name='Meow 4 me', value='I say nyaa~!', inline=True)
    await ctx.reply(embed=help)
    print("Help is wanted")

I have little experience with python not to mention the no experience with any packages to make a discord bot in python but what is ctx in the line above the print statement?

it should check wither the message was sent or not

4

What is the function called? Does the @client.command() make it a slash command so that when a user uses the command the function is called?

hi @yas welcome to the community!

Can you share a link to the replit so other users can see the error and suggest some ideas?

Hi @yas I would suggest using the discord.py command handler instead of doing it yourself with the on message event. That would result in your code looking something like this:

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='meow', help_command=None, case_insensitive=True)

@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
    help = discord.Embed( title = 'Oh? You need some Help?', description = 'Bot prefix is "meow". If a Command has- Bot Prefix is not Necessary. Heres a list of possible commands and their uses:', color=0x00ff00 )
    help.add_field(name='Meow 4 me', value='I say nyaa~!', inline=True)
    await ctx.reply(embed=help)
    print("Help is wanted")

# Other commands here
# ...
# ...

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

Hey guys, thank you for all the helpful comments, I figured out that it was a different command overriding it (@client.event async def on_message which scans through all sent messages)
