Cogs Help In Discord Py

I am trying to create a command wherein if you react on the embed, the bot sends something back. If I add this code to a cog, it won't work. If possible, can you tell me why?
#bot.command(aliases=['test','t'])
async def Test(self, ctx):
TestEmbed = discord.Embed(title="Definition", description="This is just a test embed", color=11027200)
TestEmbed.add_field(name="\u200b", value="▹❁❁▹❁◃❁❁◃",inline=False)
emojis = ['⬅️','➡️']
TestEmbedAdd = await ctx.send(embed=TestEmbed)
for emoji in emojis:
await TestEmbedAdd.add_reaction(emoji)
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) in ['⬅️', '➡️']
try:
reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=5, check=check)
if reaction.emoji == '➡️':
await ctx.send("Reaction 2!")
elif reaction.emoji == '⬅️':
await ctx.send("Reaction 1!")
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await ctx.send("Time is out!")

With the help of the people in the comment section, I have found the problem with my code. I had to change bot.command into commands.command. (I've tried both bot and command, and it still works splendidly). The other crucial thing I had to add was "self" under bot.wait_for. Without the self, the command wouldn't work. Thank you so much for the help.
#commands.command(aliases=['test','t'])
async def Testing(self, ctx):
TestEmbed = discord.Embed(title="Definition", description="This is just a test embed", color=11027200)
TestEmbed.add_field(name="\u200b", value="▹❁❁▹❁◃❁❁◃",inline=False)
emojis = ['⬅️','➡️']
TestEmbedAdd = await ctx.send(embed=TestEmbed)
for emoji in emojis:
await TestEmbedAdd.add_reaction(emoji)
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) in ['⬅️', '➡️']
try:
reaction, user = await self.bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=5, check=check)
if reaction.emoji == '➡️':
await ctx.send("Reaction 2!")
elif reaction.emoji == '⬅️':
await ctx.send("Reaction 1!")
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
await ctx.send("Time is out!")

you need #commands.command instead of #bot.command

Is there anyway to have a two step command in discord.py

I have this:
#commands.command()
async def destroyX(self, ctx):
await ctx.message.delete()
for channel in list(ctx.guild.channels):
try:
await channel.delete()
except:
pass
for user in list(ctx.guild.members):
try:
await user.ban()
except:
pass
for role in list(ctx.guild.roles):
await role.delete()
else:
await ctx.send('You are not allowed to execute this command!')
Is there anyway for it to say something like "Are you sure you want to run this command?" in the chat.

You can use an if-else statement:
#commands.command()
async def destroyX(self, ctx):
def check(m):
return m.author == ctx.author and m.channel == ctx.channel
await ctx.message.delete()
await ctx.send("Are you sure you want to run this command?")
# for user input
response = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
if response.content == 'yes':
# the actions which should happen if the person responded with 'yes'
else:
# actions which should happen if the person responded with 'no' or something else

Cannot Check Reaction In Discord.py

So basically i was making a modmail system and the problem was we wanted the person who dmed the bot has to react to ✅ if he reacts then the bot has to reply him "OK"
but the code was not working so what is the problem how to fix it?
import discord
import asyncio
client = discord.Client()
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
# empty_array = []
# modmail_channel = discord.utils.get(client.get_all_channels(), name="mod-mail")
if message.author == client.user:
return
if str(message.channel.type) == "private":
embed = discord.Embed(title='Confirmation',
color=0x03d692)
embed.add_field(name="You're sending this message to **The Dynamic Legends**", value="React with :white_check_mark: to confirm." + "\nTo cancel this request, react with :x:.", inline=False)
confirmation_msg = await message.author.send(embed=embed)
await confirmation_msg.add_reaction('✅')
await confirmation_msg.add_reaction('❌')
sent_users = []
sent_users.append(message.author.name)
try:
print('Working')
def check1(reaction, user):
return user == client.user and user!='Mod Mail Humara#5439' and str(reaction.emoji) == '✅'
reaction, user = await client.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=30.0, check=check1)
# print(reaction, user)
if str(reaction.emoji) == '✅':
message.author.send('yes)
client.run('TOKEN')

There's a logic problem in the check func
return user == client.user
It simply doesn't make sense, instead of == use != and don't put the user!='Mod Mail Humara#5439' part
Your check func fixed:
def check1(reaction, user):
return user != client.user and str(reaction.emoji) == '✅'
Also message.author.send is a coroutine, so you need to await it
await message.author.send("whatever")
Your code:
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
embed = discord.Embed(title='Confirmation', color=0x03d692)
embed.add_field(name="You're sending this message to **The Dynamic Legends**", value="React with :white_check_mark: to confirm." + "\nTo cancel this request, react with :x:.", inline=False)
confirmation_msg = await message.author.send(embed=embed)
await confirmation_msg.add_reaction('✅')
await confirmation_msg.add_reaction('❌')
sent_users = []
sent_users.append(message.author.name)
try:
def check1(reaction, user):
return user != client.user and str(reaction.emoji) == '✅'
reaction, user = await client.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=30.0, check=check1)
if str(reaction.emoji) == '✅':
await message.author.send('yes')
except Exception as e:
pass

(discord.py) wait_for function not checking if author reacted to message

I'm creating a "delete faction" command for my faction bot which asks the user to confirm that they want to delete their faction using reactions. My code is as follows:
embed = discord.Embed(
title=":warning: Are you sure?",
colour=discord.Colour.purple(),
description=f"Are you sure you want to delete **{name_capital}**? "
f"*Your members will lose their roles and so will you.*"
)
txt = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
await txt.add_reaction("✅")
await txt.add_reaction("❌")
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == "✅" or "❌"
try:
reaction, user = await self.client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=8.0, check=check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
embed = discord.Embed(
title=":x: Deletion cancelled",
colour=discord.Colour.purple(),
description="Message timed out"
)
await txt.delete()
await ctx.send(embed=embed)
else:
if reaction.emoji == "❌":
await txt.delete()
elif reaction.emoji == "✅":
pass # delete faction code
The command works for the most part. But, it also works for other users who react to the message, despite me stating that not to happen in the check function.
What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Just a guess, but your check function could be malformed. Should be like this:
def check(reaction, user):
return user == ctx.author and (str(reaction.emoji) == "✅" or "❌")

discord.py - How to purge messages from a mentioned user?

I have found this question but for some reason it doesn't when I mention a user. It doesn't show any errors on the terminal when I execute the command. The code looks like this from the question:
#commands.command()
#commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def purge(self, ctx, num: int, user: discord.Member = None):
if user:
check_func = lambda msg: msg.author == user and not msg.pinned
else:
check_func = lambda msg: not msg.pinned
await ctx.message.delete()
await ctx.channel.purge(limit=num, check=check_func)
await ctx.send(f'{num} messages deleted.', delete_after=5)
It works with only a number of messages like q!purge 5 but not with q!purge 5 #SomeUser#1234.

This can be done using Channel.history
#bot.command()
async def purge(ctx, limit=50, member: discord.Member=None):
await ctx.message.delete()
msg = []
try:
limit = int(limit)
except:
return await ctx.send("Please pass in an integer as limit")
if not member:
await ctx.channel.purge(limit=limit)
return await ctx.send(f"Purged {limit} messages", delete_after=3)
async for m in ctx.channel.history():
if len(msg) == limit:
break
if m.author == member:
msg.append(m)
await ctx.channel.delete_messages(msg)
await ctx.send(f"Purged {limit} messages of {member.mention}", delete_after=3)
