I have got a discord bot and it works fine, I've just got one problem: If the bot sends a DM to someone due to some command, I want it to receive the answer to that DM. I don't get it working for DMs. I've tried some stuff I've found on the internet but nothing was even close to working. Any help would be much appreciated :) Here's what I've tried (I'm sorry I can't give you that much)
@bot.event
async def on_private_message(ctx):
if ctx.channel.id == ctx.author.dm_channel.id:
# here I've tried using ctx.content in several ways but there was no ctx.content...
on_private_message is not a discord event, we just use on_message and check if it is a dm.
@bot.event()
async def on_message(message):
if message.guild is None:
#this is a dm message
However, I see that your problem is accepting an answer from a user in private message, this can be done with wait_for.
@bot.command()
async def something(ctx):
await ctx.author.send('hello there')
await ctx.author.send("you have 30 seconds to reply")
msg = bot.wait_for('message', check = lambda x: x.author == ctx.author and x.channel == ctx.author.dm_channel, timeout=30)
# do stuff with msg
