Hey guys I'm currently working on a function in my discord bot that would return the profile picture of the person that's mentioned after !pfp.
Problem is: All my bot been working with if's statements in the on_message() function, which means I'm not using ctx, if that makes sense to you.
So from what I've been reading online the answers only give you a code with something like async def avatar(ctx, *, member: discord.Member = None):.
I'm not even sure that you can do it the way i want it, but i just want to ask first. Here is the code
import *
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
async def pfp():
try:
person = message.content.split(" ", -1)[1]
person = pers.replace("<", "")
person = pers.replace("@", "")
person = pers.replace(">", "")
person = int(pers)
# we have the id of the user in a variable
pic = person.avatar_url
embed = discord.Embed(title=f"profile pic of <@{person}>",
color=0x3a88fe)
embed.set_image(url=pic)
await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
except IndexError:
authorProfilePicture = message.author.avatar_url
a = message.author
print(type(a))
await message.channel.send(authorProfilePicture)
if message.content.startswith("!pfp"):
await pfp()
That's what i'm trying to do, but the code won't recognize the person variable as it is an int variable and not a discord.Member or something.
Thank you if you took time to read this, and for those of you who will help !
You were almost there. Your mistake is, as you already realized, that person is still an ID and accordingly of type int which hasn't an attribute avatar_url.
To get the discord.User object, just do bot.get_user().
Your code would look like that (I changed the variables a bit):
bot = commands.Bot()
@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
async def pfp():
try:
person_mention = message.content.split(" ", -1)[1]
person_mention = person_mention.replace("<", "")
person_mention = person_mention.replace("@", "")
person_mention = person_mention.replace(">", "")
person_id = int(person_mention)
person = bot.get_user(person_id)
avatar_url = person.avatar_url
embed = discord.Embed(title=f"Profile picture of {person}")
embed.set_image(url=avatar_url)
await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
except IndexError:
avatar_url = message.author.avatar_url
embed = discord.Embed(title=f"Profile picture of {message.author}")
embed.set_image(url=avatar_url)
await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
if message.content.startswith("!pfp"):
await pfp()
