I've come up with a way to DM people, but I want to know what they say back to the bot through DMs, as if the bot "reads" the DM, and then forwards it to some channel in a discord server of mine, or, even better, DM it to me.
Here is my starting code:
if message.content.startswith("!dm"):
if message.author.id == "[YOUR ID HERE]":
memberID = "ID OF RECIPIENT"
server = message.server
person = discord.Server.get_member(server, memberID)
await client.delete_message(message)
await client.send_message(destination = person, content = "WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY TO THEM")
I do it a different way contrary to how people do it with defining functions, I use a more basic way of making commands.
Any help is appreciated!
Here's a quick example. I've moved your existing command into an actual Command
object, so the forwarding logic is the only thing in on_message
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.bot('!')
# I've moved the command out of on_message so it doesn't get cluttered
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
channel = bot.get_channel('458778457539870742')
if message.server is None and message.author != bot.user:
await bot.send_message(channel, message.content)
await bot.process_commands(message)
# This always sends the same message to the same person. Is that what you want?
@bot.command(pass_context=True)
@commands.is_owner() # The account that owns the bot
async def dm(ctx):
memberID = "ID OF RECIPIENT"
person = await bot.get_user_info(memberID)
await bot.send_message(person, "WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY TO THEM")
await bot.delete_message(ctx.message)
