How do u define ur bot also do u want prefix or / command

[noble breach]

i dont really know the diffrence sorry I just started im just trying to make a simple bot like !ping and it responds pong

[torpid bronze]

Aka prefix command

[noble breach]

yes

[tame ruin]

don't watch tutorials on making discord bot

[torpid bronze]

Bot=discord.bot(intents=discord.intents.all(),command_prefix="!")

[tame ruin]

theyre often bad with bad approach, bad habit, bad advice

that's not python naming convention, nor any language i know

[torpid bronze]

@bot.command()
def ping(ctx):
ctx.send_message("pong")

[tame ruin]

that is totally wrong

[noble breach]

said bot is not defined

[tame ruin]

from naming convention to method

first, how much python knowledge do you have

[noble breach]

i started yesterday

[tame ruin]

almost every api wrapper library require you to have some level of python knowledge

like the most used library discord.py will require this:

• Primitive data types
• Operators
• Data structures
• Importing
• Variables, namespace and scope
• String formatting
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Control flow
• Exception handling
• Function definitions
• Classes, objects, attributes and methods
• Console usage, interpreters and environments
• Decorators

Useful to know:

• Asyncio basics
• What is blocking?
• Logging
• How to read docs properly

[noble breach]

well ima try my best

[noble breach]

its saying bot is not defined do you have aany idea how to define it?

[tame ruin]

because their naming is wrong

[torpid bronze]

Most of this only the usage not makeing is required annotations are needed and i think we dont require classes

[tame ruin]

what?

do you know python is an OOP language?

[torpid bronze]

I did say it earlier but i bet thanhZ know it better so follow him

[tame ruin]

you need to know what are these doing when you code, you don't code just to run it

[torpid bronze]

I do but simple bot can be made only with functions and has more function ooriented characteristics than most languages

[torpid bronze]

U need to know a bit of it but only from the outside like u dont need to know self for it witch i see to be confusing for many

[tame ruin]

discord.py uses OOP, it's base on classes, you don't only call function when using discord.py, bot = commands.Bot(...) is already OOP

you dont create a bot using only functions, you don't do bot = create_a_bot(...)

[torpid bronze]

I didn't say oop is not required i said classes i mean self defined classes are not needed

[tame ruin]

you would still need it to be a developer

then why arent you learn it on the way

[torpid bronze]

True

[torpid bronze]

True

But u could reach ur first goal earlyer makeing it feel better to code

[tame ruin]

i can just give them the link to example code but they will not learn anything and will just blindly copy paste, they need to be able to read the example code to make their own

[torpid bronze]

Also for discord.py cmd is again not neede

[noble breach]

That's what I asked for an example to bais off the other thing i want

[tame ruin]

i suggest you start by making terminal app first then discord bot can be later tho

Dc bot is not that hard but its recommended to start from basics

[tame ruin]

it will be hard if it's your first time coding
