If The User Reacts With 😃, I Want The Bot To Edit The Message

Something like this. @client.event async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user): a = await client.say('React to see help') if reaction.emoji == '😃': await client.ed

Solution 1:

You need to send a message when the bot comes online, then monitor that message for new reactions. The easiest way to do that is with a background loop using Client.wait_for, instead of the on_reaction_add event. The reaction_check function is to make finding the right reactions easier.

from collections.abc importSequencefrom discord import Client

grin = "\N{GRINNING FACE}"defmake_sequence(seq):
    if seq isNone:
        return ()
    ifisinstance(seq, Sequence) andnotisinstance(seq, str):
        return seq
    else:
        return (seq,)

defreaction_check(message=None, emoji=None, author=None, ignore_bot=True):
    message = make_sequence(message)
    message = tuple(m.idfor m in message)
    emoji = make_sequence(emoji)
    author = make_sequence(author)
    defcheck(reaction, user):
        if ignore_bot and user.bot:
            returnFalseif message and reaction.message.idnotin message:
            returnFalseif emoji and reaction.emoji notin emoji:
            returnFalseif author and user notin author:
            returnFalsereturnTruereturn check

client = Client()

asyncdefbackground_loop():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    channel = client.get_channel(int(*SOME CHANNEL ID*))
    msg = await channel.send("React to see help")
    await msg.add_reaction(grin)
    whilenot client.is_closed:
        res = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', check=reaction_check(message=msg, emoji=grin))
        if res:  # not Noneawait msg.edit(content="Moderator commands")

client.loop.create_task(background_loop())
client.run("TOKEN")

Solution 2:

Or you can use the package discord_interactive_help, which allow you to display a bunch of pages and let your user interact with this manual through reactions.

Solution 3:

You should be able to detect the reaction with your current code, your problem would be your edit.

channel = a.channel
msg_id = a.idif reaction.emoji == "😃":
    msg = await channel.fetch_message(msg_id)
    await msg.edit(content = content)
