Here is the link to the code

It was too long too paste

[unborn ginkgo]

What even is the problem?

[obsidian crescent]

Help with what exactly...

[unborn ginkgo]

and I think you have some unnecessary lines there

[gaunt lotus]

everytime i run it the counting system is working and also the welcomer but nothing else

chatgpt says because of the on_message

But idk

[tawdry agate]

do in on_message. bot.process_command(message) I believe that should fix it

and do not trust chatgpt cuz its outdated

[unborn ginkgo]

Also I would remove the empty duplicated on_message if I were you

[tawdry agate]

and this ^ for better code format

[tender trout]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/KPKQ#1L65-L66 You are assigning something to channel, then right after that assigning something else to channel.

[unborn ginkgo]

If the code looks clean it's easier to spot mistakes genuinely 🙂

[gaunt lotus]

bro i dont check it lol

[gaunt lotus]

where should i do this?

[gaunt lotus]

where?

[tawdry agate]

on the last line of the function on_message

[gaunt lotus]

You mean the 1x in the count system?

[tawdry agate]

yes

I am not sure why its not working because last time I read the discord.py code, I saw that it appends events and not overwrite them

[gaunt lotus]

ther?

[tawdry agate]

yes

[gaunt lotus]

and change it with bot.process_command(message) that

[tawdry agate]

yes and make sure to return on every command before it reach bot.process_command(message)

I will check if the function name is correct

yes its bot.process_commands with an s

and replace the bot with the actual bot veriable name

[tacit estuary]

maybe you're thinking of listen rather than event

[gaunt lotus]

ik

PS Z:\Lukas\Studio Code\DeserrtTemple Bot> python main.py
File "Z:\Lukas\Studio Code\DeserrtTemple Bot\main.py", line 133
async def bot.process_commands(message):
^
SyntaxError: expected '('

[tawdry agate]

oh yes, it was listen

[gaunt lotus]

There is that

[tawdry agate]

uh why are you defining it?

[gaunt lotus]

idk

???

[tawdry agate]

its a method, you should use it in the on_message function

[tawdry agate]

at the end

[gaunt lotus]

oh hahha

[tawdry agate]

revert the changes it and put it at the end of the function

[gaunt lotus]

im dumb

[tawdry agate]

dw, I was wrost lol

[gaunt lotus]

yould u write the full line

pls

im toooooo dumb

[tawdry agate]

hmm.. sure but you should know why I applied those changes

[gaunt lotus]

bc i did i two times?

no?

[tawdry agate]

delete this

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.bot:
        return

    # Hier kannst du weitere Logik für die Bearbeitung von Nachrichten in Ticket-Kanälen hinzufügen

    await client.process_commands(message)

as its getting overwritten anyways

[gaunt lotus]

and now?

[tawdry agate]

wait may I ask something?

[gaunt lotus]

there is still this

[tawdry agate]

still we didn't get to this part

[gaunt lotus]

sure

[tawdry agate]

may I ask why not make this a actual command?

        if 
message.content.startswith('!count'):
            await message.channel.send(f'Aktueller Zählerwert: {count}')

        # Prüfe, ob die Nachricht den erwarteten Zählerwert enthält
        try:
            user_count = int(message.content)
        except ValueError:
            return  # Ignoriere Nachrichten, die keine Zahl enthalten

        if user_count == count + 1:
            count = user_count
            await message.add_reaction('✅')  # Bestätige die korrekte Nachricht
        else:
            await message.add_reaction('❌')  # Weise auf einen Fehler hin
            await asyncio.sleep(5)
            await message.delete()  

[gaunt lotus]

idk what u mean

im bad at english

bc im german

[tawdry agate]

oh I see

why use if?

if message.content.startswith('!count'):

when you can do

@client.command()
async def count(ctx):
  ... # code here

here how I will do it

@client.command()
async def count(ctx):
    await message.channel.send(f'Aktueller Zählerwert: {count}')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    global count  # Wir verwenden die globale Variable 'count'

    if message.author.bot:
        return  # Ignoriere Nachrichten vom Bot selbst

    if message.channel.id == allowed_channel_id:
        # Prüfe, ob die Nachricht den erwarteten Zählerwert enthält
        try:
            user_count = int(message.content)
        except ValueError:
            return  # Ignoriere Nachrichten, die keine Zahl enthalten

        if user_count == count + 1:
            count = user_count
            await message.add_reaction('✅')  # Bestätige die korrekte Nachricht
        else:
            await message.add_reaction('❌')  # Weise auf einen Fehler hin
            await asyncio.sleep(5)
            await message.delete()
        return # return to stop it from reaching to process_commands
    



    await client.process_commands(message) # process commands

@gaunt lotus

[gaunt lotus]

yeah

and now it should work?

[tawdry agate]

is that what are you looking for?

[tawdry agate]

yes

[gaunt lotus]

Its still not working

@tawdry agate

ig the problem ist, that count = 0 is never said

Why is there a line said which doesnt exist?

[tawdry agate]

it will been better if you sent the error as text

[gaunt lotus]

How?

oh haha

wait

[tawdry agate]

oh yes I see why

the async def count is overwriting the count

in basic english, the function count is replacing the count number

[gaunt lotus]

?

and what should i do? rename?

[unborn ginkgo]

You'd need to rename the function yes

or the count number

[gaunt lotus]

to eg count1

[tawdry agate]

@client.command(name="count")
async def count_(ctx):

should work

[gaunt lotus]

its still not working

[unborn ginkgo]

have you defined count as a global in your code?

[gaunt lotus]

wait

[unborn ginkgo]

or where is it defined

[gaunt lotus]

yeah

global count # Wir verwenden die globale Variable 'count'

[woeful heath]

that's not defining the variable. it's just telling python to look for a global variable named count.. you'll still get a NameError if you never defined it (by assigning a value somewhere in the global scope)

[gaunt lotus]

so i have to write somewhere in the code count = 0

[tawdry agate]

did you ever said count as something?

[tawdry agate]

yes

[gaunt lotus]

no hhaha

lol

[unborn ginkgo]

then that wont work

[tawdry agate]

anything that isn't define, you will need to define it

[gaunt lotus]

should i write count_ or count = 0

[unborn ginkgo]

count = 0

because you just used count_ for a function

[tawdry agate]

count = 0 ofc. count_ is a function

[gaunt lotus]

so the command is !count_

[unborn ginkgo]

no, the command is !count

since you've changed the name

Please always make sure to know what you are pasting in from others before doing so 🙂

[tawdry agate]

no its !count because in the code we said client.command(name="count") we told it that the command name is count

[tawdry agate]

^ important tip

[gaunt lotus]

yeah haha

now is the counting system working but !count is still not working

[unborn ginkgo]

Also another tip, please provide more Information, just saying "is not working" is not much of detail, there could be 1000 reasons for this 🙂

[gaunt lotus]

the bot isnt answering !count

[unborn ginkgo]

Does it say anything in the console? Have you tried debugging the code on what maybe doesn't work?

thats in the console

should i say on_message?

[unborn ginkgo]

You didn't define that, in this case you need to do ctx.channel.send instead of message.channel.send

[gaunt lotus]

not message?

[unborn ginkgo]

No

[tawdry agate]

you should always format it as python code block so its easier to read

[gaunt lotus]

how can i do this?

[unborn ginkgo]

three backticks ` at the start and end

[gaunt lotus]

the terminal say instead is false

[tawdry agate]

!code

[dull pendant]

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[unborn ginkgo]

Why did you put instead there?

[gaunt lotus]

await ctx.channel.send instead(f'Aktueller Zählerwert: {count}')

idk?

[tawdry agate]

its just ctx.send

instead is not a thing

[unborn ginkgo]

[gaunt lotus]

idk how it got there lol

[unborn ginkgo]

My bad then

I thought both was valid

[tawdry agate]

its vaild, but ctx.send is enough

[unborn ginkgo]

[gaunt lotus]

GUYS ITS FUCKING WORKING (sry)

thank u so much

thaaaaaaank uuuuuu

<3

[tawdry agate]

no problem :‎)
