client.await_for unresponsive In a Loop Under Cogs Folder | Discord.py

I made a number-guessing command in Discord.py. The command works perfectly fine outside of any cogs folder (main.py). Because my main.py was getting cluttered, I relocated the guess command into one of the cog's folders where I organized my other commands. When I ran the bot and try to use the guess command, I get an error saying:
loop attribute cannot be accessed in non-async contexts. Consider using either an asynchronous main function and passing it to asyncio.run or using asynchronous initialisation hooks such as Client.setup_hooktype
Below is the code I used for the guess command inside the cog:
#commands.command()
async def guess(self, ctx):
try:
await ctx.send(f"Pick a range of numbers you want and the number of attempts you want."
f"Ex: '__**1-10**, **4**__' or '__**600-10**, **200**__'")
def check(msg):
return msg.author == ctx.author and msg.channel == ctx.channel
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
user_range = msg.content
num = re.findall(r'\d+', user_range) # get the values from the msg.content or user input
range_1 = int(num[0])
range_2 = int(num[1])
attempt = int(num[2])
if range_1 > range_2:
range_1 = int(num[1])
range_2 = int(num[0])
await ctx.send(
f"Now guess a number between **{range_1}-{range_2}**, you have **{attempt}** attempts. Type 'stop' to give up.")
def check(msg):
return msg.author == ctx.author and msg.channel == ctx.channel
Entry = 0
ran_picker = random.randrange(range_1, range_2)
while Entry <= attempt:
msg = await client.await_for('message', check=check)
Entry = Entry + 1
if msg.content == "stop" or msg.content == "Stop":
await ctx.send(f"You gave up 😢")
await ctx.send(f"The number was **{ran_picker}**")
break
elif int(msg.content) == ran_picker:
await ctx.send(f"**Good job, it was {ran_picker}!**")
break
elif int(msg.content) > range_2 or int(msg.content) < range_1:
await ctx.send(f"Pick a number between **{range_1}-{range_2}**!")
Entry = Entry - 1
print(Entry)
elif Entry == attempt:
await ctx.send(f"You ran out of inputs, it was **{ran_picker}**!")
break
else:
await ctx.send(f"Nope, keep guessing", delete_after=2)
else:
await ctx.send(
f"Now guess a number between **{range_1}-{range_2}**, you have **{attempt}** attempts. Type 'stop' to give up.")
def check(msg):
return msg.author == ctx.author and msg.channel == ctx.channel
Entry = 0
ran_picker = random.randrange(range_1, range_2)
while Entry <= attempt:

print(Entry)
elif Entry == attempt:
await ctx.send(f"You ran out of inputs, it was **{ran_picker}**!")
break
else:
await ctx.send(f"Nope, keep guessing", delete_after=2)
except Exception as error:
print(f"{error}")
await ctx.send(f"Problem: **[{error}]**")re
In fact, other commands that's inside a cog folder involving the function/line
msg = await client.await_for('message', check=check)
# specifically' client.await_for'
I get a similar error.
I am fairly new to Python's language and Discord.py. I tried to read some of the documents for discord.py revolving around "setup_hooktype" and try to see how I can implement it into my code. Every time I change something I get a new error saying: "unexpected keyward argument," "no attributes" and so on. I believe this function has to do with the subclass (which I have for the cog) but I'm not sure how to create an addon for "setup_hook." I could just leave this command in my main.py, but soon or later I'm going to encounter this problem again in the future.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Using multiple values for one parameter in a command in discord.py

I am currently trying to code a quiz bot in discord, and right now I want to find a way to have my bot pull a random question from specific parameters. I'm not so sure this was the right way to phrase it, but here is my code:
#client.command()
async def ask1(ctx , q):
quiz_data = {
'question1' : (["1" , "one"] , "one") ,
'question2' : (["2" , "two"] , "two") ,
}
questionp1 = random.choice(list(quiz_data.keys()))
answersp1 , hintp1 = quiz_data[questionp1]
quiz_data1 = {
'question3' : (["3" , "three"] , "three") ,
'question4' : (["4" , "four"] , "four")
}
questionp2 = random.choice(list(quiz_data1.keys()))
answersp2 , hintp2 = quiz_data1[questionp2]
global var
if var == 0:
var = 1
if q == "1":
await ctx.send("What is the answer to this question?")
await asyncio.sleep(1)
await ctx.send(questionp1)
def check_sender(msg):
return msg.channel == ctx.channel
def check_answer(msg):
return any(answer in msg.content.lower() for answer in answersp1)
try:
async with timeout(10):
while var == 1:
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check_sender)
if check_answer(msg):
await ctx.send("Well done.")
var = 0
break
else:
print(msg.content)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
if var != 1:
var = 0
else:
await ctx.send(f"What is the answer to this question? hint: {hintp1}")
await ctx.send(questionp1)
try:
async with timeout(5):
while var == 1:
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check_sender)
if check_answer(msg):
await ctx.send("Well done.")
var = 0
break
else:
print(msg.content)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await ctx.send("No one got it right.")
var = 0
elif q == "2":
await ctx.send("What is the answer to this question?")
await asyncio.sleep(1)
await ctx.send(questionp2)
def check_sender(msg):
return msg.channel == ctx.channel
def check_answer(msg):
return any(answer in msg.content.lower() for answer in answersp2)
try:
async with timeout(10):
while var == 1:
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check_sender)
if check_answer(msg):
await ctx.send("Well done.")
var = 0
break
else:
print(msg.content)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
if var != 1:
var = 0
else:
await ctx.send(f"What is the answer to this question? hint: {hintp2}")
await ctx.send(questionp2)
try:
async with timeout(5):
while var == 1:
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check_sender)
if check_answer(msg):
await ctx.send("Well done.")
var = 0
break
else:
print(msg.content)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await ctx.send("No one got it right.")
var = 0
else:
await ctx.send("A round has already begun.")
This is the concept that I'm currently using. The command $ask1 1 and $ask1 2 are working fine, but I want the user to have a choice to put $ask1 q:1,2 or something like that, which the bot then pulls a question from either the first quizdata set or the second. Note that this whole code is working well and is executed without any errors. I've been racking my brain for a few days and I think to do this I should be using keyword args instead of positional args, but I'm not entirely sure nor do I know how to apply the concept of kwargs properly in this situation. The vars are necessary for a different command btw, a stop command, so you don't have to pay attention to it.
Sorry if this is hard to understand, I'll be willing to answer any questions to make this more clear. Any answer wil be appreciated, thanks!

You can just use random lib,here is the documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html. What I was thinking you could at first generate random number between 1 and 2 if the random number is 1 you would go to quiz data if 2 to quiz data2 and then generate another random number between 1 and to and that would indicate which question from this quiz data would be used

How to let the bot delete your command after it reply me in python

I am doing a giveaway command call =gstart <time> <prize and the giveaway will be held in the channel I use this command and After sending the embed giveaway message it will delete the gstart command. Here is the code:
#bot.command()
async def gstart(ctx,time,*,prize):
time = convert(time)
if time == -1:
await ctx.send("Error, can't identify time unit")
if time == -2:
await ctx.send("Error, can't identify time value")
embed = discord.Embed(title=prize, description = f"React with :tada: to enter\nHosted by: {ctx.author.mention}", color=discord.Color.red())
embed.set_footer(text = f"Ends at {time} from now!")
#delete-command
await ctx.send(":tada: **GIVEAWAY** :tada:")
my_msg = await ctx.send(embed = embed)
await my_msg.add_reaction("🎉")
await asyncio.sleep(time)
new_msg = await ctx.fetch_message(my_msg.id)
users = await new_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten()
users.pop(users.index(bot.user))
winner = random.choice(users)
await ctx.send(f"Congratulations {winner.mention}! You won the {prize}!")
msg_link = my_msg.jump_url
winner_embed = discord.Embed(title=f"Hey {winner}",description=f"You just won a [giveaway]({msg_link}) in {ctx.guild}",color=discord.Color.red())
winner_embed.add_field(name=prize,value=f"Hosted by: {ctx.author.mention}",inline=True)
await winner.send(embed=winner_embed)
By the way the convert() function looks like this:
def convert(time):
pos = ["s","m","h","d"]
time_dict = {"s" : 1, "m" : 60, "h" : 3600, "d" : 3600*24}
unit = time[-1]
if unit not in pos:
return -1
try:
val = int(time[:-1])
except:
return -2
return val * time_dict[unit]

Reply you with the discord.Context object and delete the message user sent.
Example:
import asyncio
#bot.command()
async def deleteCommandAfterSent(ctx):
await ctx.send("blablabla ") #REPLY MESSAGE
await asyncio.sleep(1)
await ctx.message.delete()

Bot isn't responding to my command | discord.py

So I was making a work command, and I needed some help. The bot was not responding unless I put my id into the json file instead of the bot doing it automatically. I don't get any error either. Again, it only works unless I manually put the id into the json file.
Here's the code:
youtuber = {}
def youtube():
global youtuber
try:

youtuber = json.load(f)
except FileNotFoundError:

developer = {}
def developing():
global developer
try:
with open('developer.json', "a") as f:
developer = json.load(f)
except FileNotFoundError:
print("Error")
scientist = {}
def science():
global scientist
try:
with open('scientist.json', "a") as f:
scientist = json.load(f)

how do you convert a python code that requires user input to work in a discord bot?

So I have a piece of code and it requires user input multiple times (and what is inputed is not alway the same). Instead of passing the code to everyone in my discord I would like to make it directly into a discord bot so everyone can use it. How do I all the bot to take in a user msg after a code is given
here is an example of kinda what I want:
-.botcalc
--this is discord bot, enter first number:
-1
--enter second number:
-2
--1+2 = 3

There are two ways you could write this command: one is using the "conversation" style in your question
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
bot = Bot("!")
def check(ctx):
return lambda m: m.author == ctx.author and m.channel == ctx.channel
async def get_input_of_type(func, ctx):
while True:
try:
msg = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check(ctx))
return func(msg.content)
except ValueError:
continue
#bot.command()
async def calc(ctx):
await ctx.send("What is the first number?")
firstnum = await get_input_of_type(int, ctx)
await ctx.send("What is the second number?")
secondnum = await get_input_of_type(int, ctx)
await ctx.send(f"{firstnum} + {secondnum} = {firstnum+secondnum}")
The second is to use converters to accept arguments as part of the command invocation
#bot.command()
async def calc(ctx, firstnum: int, secondnum: int):
await ctx.send(f"{firstnum} + {secondnum} = {firstnum+secondnum}")

Using wait_for
async def botcalc(self, ctx):
author = ctx.author
numbers = []
def check(m):
return m.author == author
for _ in ('first', 'second'):
await ctx.send(f"enter {_} number")
num = ""
while not num.isdigit():
num = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
numbers.append[int(num)]
await channel.send(f'{numbers[0]}+{numbers[1]}={sum{numbers)}')
edit
Added a check
