Error

  File "d:\Coding Stuff\CataniBOT\venv\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 2062, in predicate
    raise MissingPermissions(missing)
discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingPermissions: You are missing Manage Messages permission(s) to run this command.

give yourself manage_messages permission in discord

also you should handle these in on_application_command_error

[wheat moon]

I have the perm. I want this for other ppl in server if they try to use the command

[indigo halo]

the proper place to handle check errors is in on_application_command_error event

[wheat moon]

Thanks, I will try that

[indigo halo]

you will need to use isinstance to compare the error object provided to the event
