here is my code

import discord
from discord import commands

TOKEN = "my token"  

intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{client.user} is connected to the following servers:\n')
    for server in client.guilds:
        print(f'{server.name} (id: {server.id})')

client.run("my token")

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

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Test", description="Testing testing", color=discord.Color.blurple())
    
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Im not master in discord bots, but check your bot in discord developer portal, there's should be settings, you need to turn it on

Ill check it, edit:im not home sry, i cant provide screenshots

[buoyant lake]

i think it might be permissions intger i cant find were to put the number

[rain crag]

Its in bot page, if i remember correctly

[buoyant lake]

to get the number is there but I dont see were to put it

ill took up rq

[rain crag]

I did it, these

[buoyant lake]

hmmm it still doesent work it must be the code thanks for the help though ill work on it

[rain crag]

Does it see messages?

[buoyant lake]

ya

[rain crag]

Oh, im blind, you run your bot before defining test command

[buoyant lake]

what?

[rain crag]

You need to put "client.run" at the end of your code

[buoyant lake]

ya i defenitly did somthing wrong with the discord side of things becuase it looks like the code should work ill watch a toturial later thanks so much for the help

[rain crag]

Put "client.run" in the bottom of your code

...
async def test():
    ...
# your code 
client.run(TOKEN)

[buoyant lake]

ya I did that still nothing

[rain crag]

Send me your new code, ill run it in 10-20 mins

[buoyant lake]

import discord
from discord import commands

TOKEN = "my token"

intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'{client.user} is connected to the following servers:\n')
for server in client.guilds:
print(f'{server.name} (id: {server.id})')

client.run("my token")

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

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
embed = discord.Embed(title="Test", description="Testing testing", color=discord.Color.blurple())

await ctx.send(embed=embed)

client.run(my token)

[violet lagoon]

why are you declaring client then bot?

[rain crag]

oh i see, yeah there is problem, like GuiSai said

[buoyant lake]

do I only do one or do I switch them?

[buoyant lake]

?

[wicked knot]

kep the one at the top.

[rain crag]

when i created bot, i used only bot, maybe theres new update

[buoyant lake]

k thanks

[wicked knot]

wait client run at the bottom.

not the one inthe middle

remove the client run in the middle

[buoyant lake]

so only remove middle keep everything els

[wicked knot]

well the discord.Bot does nothing. so you can remove that too.

[buoyant lake]

so remove client run in middle and bot=discord

[wicked knot]

yes.

and then try it

[buoyant lake]

now im getting an error client has no attribute for command

[wicked knot]

wait if you want to use !

as your command prefix

[buoyant lake]

yes

thats what it is et to

[wicked knot]

import discord
from discord import commands

TOKEN = "my token"  

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

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{client.user} is connected to the following servers:\n')
    for server in client.guilds:
        print(f'{server.name} (id: {server.id})')


@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Test", description="Testing testing", color=discord.Color.blurple())
    
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

bot.run(TOKEN)

do that instead

client is mostly for using slash commands

[buoyant lake]

module 'discord' has no attribute 'intents'

[wicked knot]

capital I

Intents.all()

[buoyant lake]

'module' object is not callable

[wicked knot]

send a ss?

also change all occurnces of client to bot

[wicked knot]

are you running discord.py or pycord first

[buoyant lake]

sorry im really new how do I tell?

[wicked knot]

mmm did you do pip install discord.py or pycord

[buoyant lake]

discord.py

[wicked knot]

okay

make a slight change to ur code

change from discord import to
form discord.ext import commands

[buoyant lake]

when I did that it gave the same error

[wicked knot]

oh and then change discord.bot

to commands.bot

commands.Bot()

my b capital b

[buoyant lake]

ok no errors and my bot is online so if I do !test it should respond?

OMG

Thank you so much

it worked

[wicked knot]

yes o7

have fun

@buoyant lake pls do !close

[buoyant lake]
