I have to tag my bot for it to hear my messages.

[dusky dirge]

When I write a message my bot should print the message, but if i dont tag my bot like @bot Hello then it will print None. What can I do?

[sterile star]

./tag msgcnt

[median remnant]

Why is some information about my messages from MessageCreateEvent unavailable?

You may have not enabled the Message Content Intent. This had been a thing for bots from August 31st, 2022 onward. For more info, refer to https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404772028055

Firstly, go to your discord developer portal. In your bot application, in the bot section, tick this to be on. (check the attached screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8Ps9Boi.png)
Secondly, in your bot's code, add the highlighted lines:

bot = hikari.GatewayBot( # or lightbulb.BotApp
    "your token",
    intents=hikari.Intents.ALL_UNPRIVILEGED | hikari.Intents.MESSAGE_CONTENT # Add this line
)

You should now receive all information about such messages. :)

Note: You will still receive this information for messages in which the bot is pinged and for any message in DMs, regardless of the intent.

[dusky dirge]

it is on

[sterile star]

Your result suggests otherwise

Checklist:

• Do you have the intent in the bot constructor?
• Is it enabled for the bot in the portal?
• Did you rerun the bot after doing the previous two?

[dusky dirge]

what is an intent in the bot constructor

@bot.listen(hikari.GuildMessageCreateEvent)
async def messaged(event):
    print(event.content)```

this is what

my script is

[sterile star]

The tag I sent tells you what intent you need to add and where

[dusky dirge]

i did everything

re ran the bot

re invited

[sterile star]

Show us your (tokenless) bot constructor

[dusky dirge]

i turned on these intents

what is a bot contructor

[sterile star]

The part of the code that constructs the bot object

[dusky dirge]

oh

import lightbulb
import hikari
import socket
bot = lightbulb.BotApp(
token="i removed my token just for this",
default_enabled_guilds = (1078358379480752228)
)

@bot.listen(hikari.GuildMessageCreateEvent)
async def messaged(event):
    print(event.content)
    if event.content == "@woeful ibex Hello":
        await bot.rest.create_message(event.channel_id, "Hello, how are you? How may I help you?")
@bot.listen(hikari.StartedEvent)
async def on_started(event):
    print("bot was summoned")

@bot.command
@lightbulb.command("hello", "returns a hello")
@lightbulb.implements(lightbulb.SlashCommand)

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("hi :D")

bot.run()

[sterile star]

I mean, I told you by now a few times to read the tag, you haven't done all that the tag tells you to do. Your code right now is never telling Discord what intents it wants

[dusky dirge]

sorry im a begginer

[sterile star]

You need to fill in the intents= thing

[dusky dirge]

i dont know what a tag is

[sterile star]

This tag

[dusky dirge]

so i add

this exact line

intents=hikari.Intents.ALL_UNPRIVILEGED | hikari.Intents.MESSAGE_CONTENT

[sterile star]

Yes

Once you've done that, show your constructor again

[dusky dirge]

@bot.listen(hikari.GuildMessageCreateEvent)
async def messaged(event):
    print(event.content)
    if event.content == "Hello":
        await bot.rest.create_message(event.channel_id, "Hello, how are you? How may I help you?")
    else:
        await bot.rest.create_message(event.channel_id, "i didnt understand")
@bot.listen(hikari.StartedEvent)
async def on_started(event):
    print("bot was summoned")```

the bot says

i didnt understand

a millio ntimes and doesnt stop

[sterile star]

You're never checking if the message sent is from a bot or a user

[dusky dirge]

it worked

[sterile star]

So it triggers itself

[dusky dirge]

oh

how can i fix that

[sterile star]

event.is_human or event.is_bot

[dusky dirge]

so i write

else:
  if event.is_human:
    await bot.rest.create_message(event.channel_id, "i         didnt understand")

[sterile star]

You could, yes

It would probably be better to do a check first thing in the function

[dusky dirge]

still

its

repeating itself
