Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

what exactly do you not understand?

It looks like there iz a problem with Nextcord about message content not being turned on. You will need to go to the discord dev portal and click on your bot then go to bots then go down a bit and toggle everything on. Because It might mess up how your bot's prefix commands work if it’s off.

in your main file add

intents = nextcord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

head into the discord developer portal and enable message intents for your bot

Well he doesn’t cuz it says it’s not toggled on not that he didn’t write it in the file

and you passed in the intents in the required places?

autumn crane

from nextcord.ext import commands
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

Enable all standard intents and message content

(prefix commands generally require message content)

intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@bot.command(name="hi")
async def SendMessage(ctx):
await ctx.send("Hello")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"Logged in as: {bot.user.name}")

if name == "main":
bot.run("************")

Hey @autumn crane!

It looks like you're trying to paste code into this channel.

Discord has support for Markdown, which allows you to post code with full syntax highlighting. Please use these whenever you paste code, as this helps improve the legibility and makes it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

#

from the nextcord docs, you need the latter from what I gather

 # Somewhere else:
 # client = nextcord.Client(intents=intents)
 # or
 # from nextcord.ext import commands
 # bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
velvet lake
#

that should fix it

autumn crane
#

hmm

#

it worked yes

#

thx so much

velvet lake
#

👍

#

you can go ahead and !close if you don't have any further questions

autumn crane
#

#

but not now

#

thx

#

!close
