How do I make my bot's Slash response detect reactions in discord.py?

I have been using this function before Discord forced everyone to switch to slash commands. Now, when I move it to slash command format, it doesn't work.
What used to work, now doesn't. I'm using this inside a cogs file. If that helps, great. If not, sorry.

Keep in mind that I removed the #cog_ext.cog_slash part because that's not the issue. I've been doing testing beforehand and I found that it gets stuck on the #cog_ext.cog_slash part.

To convert this command, you'll need these changes to the function definition
#app_commands.command(name="combat_shop", description="The Combat shop")
async def combat_shop(self, interaction : discord.Interaction):
You'll also need to adapt your code to deal with a discord.Interaction instead of a discord.ext.commands.Context.
That includes switching:
ctx.send to interaction.response.send_message
Switching the msg.edit to one of the interaction edits (e.g. interaction.edit_original_response)
ctx.author to interaction.user

I found out the issue after another hour of testing. In slash commands, it has to be reaction.message.id == msg.id for that check to work.

discord.py command that create embed

im trying to code a discord.py bot where you can create embeds through a command, something like the embed creation function in mimu bot. i tried to code it but it dont work, any ways to make it work?
async def embed_create(ctx):
def check(message):
return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel
await ctx.send('Enter your title.\nPut `none` if you do not want anything in this section.')
await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 300.0, check=check)
if message.content == "none":
title = ""
else:
title = ("message")
await ctx.send('Enter your title.\nPut `none` if you do not want anything in this section.')
await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 300.0, check=check)
if message.content == "none":
desc = ""
else:
desc = ("message")
embed = discord.Embed(title=title.content, description=desc.content, color=0xa9e9e9```

I figured out the problem and fixed it, here:
async def embed_create(ctx):
def check(message):
return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel
await ctx.send('Enter your title.\nPut `none` if you do not want anything in this section.')
title = await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 300.0, check=check)
title = title.content
if title == "none":
title = "** **" # it will still be empty but not give an empty error message
else:
title = title
await ctx.send('Enter your title.\nPut `none` if you do not want anything in this section.')
desc = await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 300.0, check=check)
desc = desc.content
if desc == "none":
desc = "** **"
else:
desc = desc
embed = discord.Embed(title=title, description=desc, color=0xa9e9e9)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)

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.

How to loop with a reaction embed menu

What I'm trying to do: Learning to make a proper help menu for my discord.py bot by having the ctx.message.author react to the message with the reactions given. The bot checks if they've been reacted to, then edits the message. If the ctx.message.author un-reacts, it goes back to the first menu (menuu).
Problem(s): I'm not sure how to loop through this until the timeout runs out. I'm also not sure how to check if the user un-reacts to the message.
Error(s): No errors.

I've created an easy enough to use 'book-manager'. If you put all of your menuus into a list called pages you can use this function:
async def createbook(bot, ctx, title, pages, **kwargs):
header = kwargs.get("header", "") # String
results = kwargs.get("results", 0) # Int
pagenum = 1
def get_results():
results_min = (pagenum - 1) * 8 + 1
if pagenum == len(pages): results_max = results
else: results_max = pagenum * 8
return f"Showing {results_min} - {results_max} results out of {results}"
pagemax = len(pages)
if results:
header = get_results()
if len(pages) == 0: pagemax = 1
embed = discord.Embed(title=title, description=f"{header}\n\n{pages[pagenum - 1]}", colour=0xF42F42)
embed.set_footer(text=f"Page {pagenum}/{pagemax}", icon_url=fboturl)
msg = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
await msg.add_reaction("⬅️")
await msg.add_reaction("➡")
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) in ["⬅️", "➡"]
while True:
try:
reaction, user = await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout = 60, check=check)
await msg.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
if str(reaction.emoji) == "⬅️":
pagenum -= 1
if pagenum < 1: pagenum = len(pages)
elif str(reaction.emoji) == "➡":
pagenum += 1
if pagenum > len(pages): pagenum = 1
header = get_results() if results else header
if str(reaction.emoji) == "⬅️" or str(reaction.emoji) == "➡":
embed = discord.Embed(title=title, description=f"{header}\n\n{pages[pagenum - 1]}", colour=0xF42F42)
embed.set_footer(text=f"Page {pagenum}/{len(pages)}", icon_url=fboturl)
await msg.edit(embed=embed)
except:
header = get_results() if results else header
embed = discord.Embed(title="FBot Server Status", description=f"{header}\n\n{pages[pagenum - 1]}", colour=0xF42F42)
embed.set_footer(text=f"Request timed out", icon_url=fboturl)
await msg.edit(embed=embed)
break
(I avoid using numbers purely because books with more than 10 pages are annoying to manage)

So after a really long time of trial and error, I have figured out my own method based off of Judev1's create-book thing. I incorporated the way the page number changes, as well as the wait_for and time out things.

How to make a function that is done every 24 hours without stopping the whole program with time.sleep() for that time?

I have a Discord bot that stores a deadline for a user in a message channel. After the deadline ends, I want the bot to notify the moderators so they can deal with it.
Everything for the bot besides that is already done. My idea for this issue is to just have a function that checks the channel with deadlines every 24 hours and finds the same date on it as the current date and takes out the userid (which is also stored in said message).
I'm open to other solutions for this problem.
I've read up and Googled a bunch. It, at least, seems like to me that time.sleep() and schedule.every will stop my whole program for that time, but maybe I'm wrong about the schedule thing, because I tried to implement it into my code, but I got no idea how to make it work. I have only a week of Python experience here, bear with me.
Here is pretty much my whole code if it helps (without the bot token part, of course)

For asynchronous python, when non-blocking sleeping is required, you can use the method asyncio.sleep(n), n being the number of seconds you want the method to sleep for. So a basic async method that sleeps once every 24 hours would look something like this:
async def daily_task():
print('This method will NOT block')
await asyncio.sleep(24*60*60)
EDIT: Thanks go to Benjin, who pointed out that I forgot to await the sleep.

Threads will let you work "simultaneously" on 2 things (or more...). When one thread will sleep, another thread can do "the rest"
