you're probably looking to inherit from discord.Client (note the capital letter)

raise PrivilegedIntentsRequired(exc.shard_id) from None
discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead.

im gettin this now

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.

[twilit lintel]

so i jus import intents and commands??

[upbeat kettle]

did you even read that

[twilit lintel]

ok let me read

[upbeat kettle]

💀

[twilit lintel]

ohkk

so i have to enable it form

the dev portal

[upbeat kettle]

yeah

[twilit lintel]

can you help me tho

yt tutorials are outdated

[upbeat kettle]

in what

[twilit lintel]

i jus wanaa make a bot that counts specific words

[upbeat kettle]

yeah yt tutorials become outdated very quickly

[twilit lintel]

and then tells how many of that said word has a specific user said

[upbeat kettle]

thats why you should read documentation

[twilit lintel]

i hate reading

[upbeat kettle]

you aint getting no where in programming if you dont like reading

[twilit lintel]

uuuf

okay

so

where do i start

[upbeat kettle]

so you want the bot to count how many times any user has said a specific word?

[twilit lintel]

yes

also where do i learn all this

i dont jus wana copy paste code uk

[upbeat kettle]

youll have to make use of the on_message event of the bot and use a database to store the data, if you wanna use a local DB you can look at aiosqlite async wrapper of sqlite, you'll have to learn some basic SQL commands too.

You can look at discord.py documentation for reference: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
Additionally theres an updated guide with examples and explaination on pretty much every aspect of the dpy lib: https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/

[twilit lintel]

okhka i will read this but but but i can keep this runnin on oracle right?

[upbeat kettle]

oracle servers?

yeah you can

[twilit lintel]

ohkk

tysmm

[upbeat kettle]

i dont think the guide has examples on events, so ill show you

You can use listeners to watch for specific events, one of them is on_message which gets executed when a message is sent in any server where the bot is present in.

If you're not using cogs-

from discord import Message

word = "hello"

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def message_listener(message: Message) -> None:
  if message.author.bot:
    # Check if the message is sent by a bot & ignore it
    return
  
  if word in message.content.lower().replace(" ", ""):
    # Do database handling stuff

[twilit lintel]

whats cogs also where do i learn sql now 😭

[upbeat kettle]

you can learn sql from anywhere, or you can search basics of sqlite or smt and learn from there

and cogs are a way of organizing your code into different parts over multiple files (optional but recommended)

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/cogs/

[twilit lintel]

ohk

i wont do cogs for now

like

for this bot
