New to coding and bot won’t run?

[open cosmos]

I think you need the messages intent if im not wrong

the video is outdated, use discord 2.0

[foggy garden]

RESET YOUR TOKEN IMMEDIATELY

Never post your token publicly

[slender trellis]

Oh

[foggy garden]

Reset it because it's not compromised, anyone can use it

[slender trellis]

I will

But

Idk what i’m doing honeslty

this is my first go at any coding

[foggy garden]

Your problem is that you didn't install python or used wrong command to run the script

[open cosmos]

Discord is a intermediate package; I'd start with the basics

[open cosmos]

^

[slender trellis]

What do you mean

[foggy garden]

If you downloaded python from python.org, you'll want to use py instead of python3 to run your code

[slender trellis]

okay

maybe that’s it

[open cosmos]

Discord made a new update where you need permissions (intents) from discord to read messages (how commands work under the hood)

[slender trellis]

i did get it from the website but the guy used python3 so that’s what i assumed it was

[open cosmos]

That works fine

The video you are using is outdated

[slender trellis]

Oh

Yeah it is old

It was just a popular one and people said it was working till this date so i assumed it would

[open cosmos]

try:

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True

client = commands.Bot(commands_prefix="*", intents=intents)

and enabling the messages intent in your discord developer portal

[slender trellis]

where in the code would i out this

[open cosmos]

replace with commands.bot

[slender trellis]

put*

okay

[slender trellis]

do i replace the whole thing starting with client = command.Bot

or just after the = sign

[slender trellis]

this didnt work

It said that there is no such file or directory

[foggy garden]

Are you in correct folder? See what is said at the beginning of the line and where your file is

[slender trellis]

I believe so

one sec

I gotta completely rewrite it

sadness

idk what happened but it added like a billion lines out of nowhere

im so bad at this

@foggy garden @open cosmos

i changed the code to what Sea said

didnt work

my token is there just removed it for the screenshot

[open cosmos]

you ran the wrong file

also u need to save ctrl + s

[slender trellis]

so what do i need to do

okay

[open cosmos]

python client.py

I’d recommend learning python first

[slender trellis]

okay

[slender trellis]

i saved it and ran this it didnt work

it said the same thing

and where can i learn python the best

[open cosmos]

python client.py

[slender trellis]

it said no such file

but i hit ctrl + s

[foggy garden]

If you downloaded python from python.org, you'll want to use py instead of python3 to run your code

The error doesn't say that file was not found, it says python was not found

[slender trellis]

i used python instead and it said "no such file or directory"

[foggy garden]

I said to use py, not python nor python3
