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 turning a text into an embed (with pages)

I'm going to need some help with this, as I don't understand it.
I have a code which turns the page of what the bots says through reactions, the code is below:
client.command()
async def help2(ctx):
contents = ["This is page 1!", "This is page 2!", "This is page 3!", "This is page 4!"]
pages = 4
cur_page = 1
message = await ctx.send(f"Page {cur_page}/{pages}:\n{contents[cur_page-1]}")
# getting the message object for editing and reacting
await message.add_reaction("◀️")
await message.add_reaction("▶️")
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) in ["◀️", "▶️"]
# This makes sure nobody except the command sender can interact with the "menu"
while True:
try:
reaction, user = await client.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=60, check=check)
# waiting for a reaction to be added - times out after x seconds, 60 in this
# example
if str(reaction.emoji) == "▶️" and cur_page != pages:
cur_page += 1
await message.edit(content=f"Page {cur_page}/{pages}:\n{contents[cur_page-1]}")
await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
elif str(reaction.emoji) == "◀️" and cur_page > 1:
cur_page -= 1
await message.edit(content=f"Page {cur_page}/{pages}:\n{contents[cur_page-1]}")
await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
else:
await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
# removes reactions if the user tries to go forward on the last page or
# backwards on the first page
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await message.delete()
break
# ending
So this is the code, however I want to make it an embed that can be used as a help page with reactions (setfooter and author too)!
Sorry as I'm new at this!

I'm not particularly good at python either but I found this worked for me:
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", help_command = None)
#client.command()
async def help(ctx):
pages = 4
cur_page = 1
contents = ["This is page 1!", "This is page 2!", "This is page 3!", "This is page 4!"]
embed=discord.Embed(title="Help page", description=(f"Page {cur_page}/{pages}:\n{contents[cur_page-1]}"), color=0x00ffc8)
embed.set_author(name=ctx.author.display_name,icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
embed.set_footer(text="footer")
message = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
# getting the message object for editing and reacting
await message.add_reaction("◀️")
await message.add_reaction("▶️")
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) in ["◀️", "▶️"]
# This makes sure nobody except the command sender can interact with the "menu"
while True:
try:
reaction, user = await client.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=60, check=check)
# waiting for a reaction to be added - times out after x seconds, 60 in this
# example
if str(reaction.emoji) == "▶️" and cur_page != pages:
cur_page += 1
new_embed=discord.Embed(title="Help page", description=(f"Page {cur_page}/{pages}:\n{contents[cur_page-1]}"), color=0x00ffc8)
new_embed.set_author(name=ctx.author.display_name,icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
new_embed.set_footer(text="footer")
await message.edit(embed=new_embed)
await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
elif str(reaction.emoji) == "◀️" and cur_page > 1:
cur_page -= 1
new_embed=discord.Embed(title="Help page", description=(f"Page {cur_page}/{pages}:\n{contents[cur_page-1]}"), color=0x00ffc8)
new_embed.set_author(name=ctx.author.display_name,icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
new_embed.set_footer(text="footer")
await message.edit(embed=new_embed)
await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
else:
await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
# removes reactions if the user tries to go forward on the last page or

Is there anyway to count specific emojis under the message? (Python)

I'm making a poll command for my discord bot. I use emojis to vote for poll options.
I want my bot to show the results of the poll after some period of time (I didn't implement timeout yet). But to do it I need to count each emoji. Is there anyway of doing it?
My code so far:
#bot.command(name='poll')
async def poll(ctx, question, option1 = None, option2 = None):
if option1 == None and option2 == None:
embed = discord.Embed(
title="Poll",
description=f"{question}",
color = discord.Color.blue()
)
msg = await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)
message = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(msg.id)
await message.add_reaction("👍")
await message.add_reaction("👎")
embed = discord.Embed(
title="Poll",
description=f"{question}",
color=discord.Color.blue()
)
embed.add_field(name=f"{option1}", inline=False)
embed.add_field(name=f"{option2}", inline=False)
msg = await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)
message = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(msg.id)
await message.add_reaction("👍")
await message.add_reaction("👎")

Emoji are just characters, like any other:
>>> st="The quick brown fox👍 jumped over the lazy dog👍"
>>> st.count("👍")
2
and in case you don't have a fancy emoji-keyboard (ord() is the inverse of chr()):
>>> ord("👍")
128077
>>> ord("👎")
128078
Update - try:
for reaction in message.reactions:
if reaction.emoji == "👍":
counts["👍"] += reaction.count
based on these:

i am making a suggestion bot in discord.py. it runs very well for the first time, and after that, it automatically selects an emoji and sends it back

emojis = ['✅','❌']
channel = bot.get_channel(xxxxxxxxxxxx)
await ctx.send('Your Suggestion has been sent, will be reviewed by admin shortly')

suggestEmbed=discord.Embed(title="Suggestion Bot", description="Please mark ✅ or ❌ depending on whether you want to take this suggestion or not", color=0x28da5b)
message = await channel.send(embed = suggestEmbed)
await message.add_reaction('✅')
await message.add_reaction('❌')
sendEmbed = discord.Embed(colour = 0x28da5b)
sendEmbed.add_field(name = 'New Suggestion!', value = f'{suggestion}')
try:
reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add')
while reaction.message == message:
if str(reaction.emoji) == "✅":
await ctx.send("🚀🚀🚀 Yay! Your suggestion has been approved, We thank you for your valuable time!")
await ctx.send("Your Suggestion was: ")
message1 = await ctx.send(embed = sendEmbed)
await channel.send("The above suggestion has been approved, this post will no longer be active")
return
if str(reaction.emoji) == "❌":
await ctx.send("🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ Sorry! Your suggestion has not been approved, We thank you for your valuable time!")
await ctx.send("Your Suggestion was: ")
message1 = await ctx.send(embed = sendEmbed)
await channel.send("The above suggestion has not been approved, this post will no longer be active")
return
except Exception:
return
I want my code to suggest something, it will go to another channel, where the admin would have the access to either click on the tick or wrong button. when tick clicks, it should send that suggestion has been accepted. it runs fine for the first time, but when I run it for the second time, it doesn't require interaction, it automatically clicks on random emoji out of the 2 and sends it back.

since you haven't defined a check, it's also taking the bot's input of reactions. defined a check function
def check (reaction, user):
return not user.bot and message == reaction.message #checks if the reacting user isn't a bot (inside the command)
#use this with check kwarg inside wait_for
reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
final code:
bot.remove_command("suggest")
#bot.command()
async def suggest(ctx,*,suggestion):
# await ctx.channel.purge(limit = 1)
emojis = ['✅','❌']
channel = ctx.channel
await ctx.send('Your Suggestion has been sent, will be reviewed by admin shortly')

discord bot python invalid syntax

i am working on a python bot but i've come across a syntax error with ELIF and IF statements, and ive tried fiddling around changing the elif around, and adding an else instead n such, but i can't get it to work, so that's why i come on here to see if anyone has a solution for my problem, thanks.

Regards.

Python scope is determined by whitespace; The await calls should be in the elif scope.
Also, it's considered best practice to use 4 spaces for each indent. See PEP8 for more details.
