Building a Discord bot that attaches a dove emoji reaction to every message. Does this approach work? Example code:
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
custom_intents = discord.Intents.default()
custom_intents.messages = True
reaction_bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', intents=custom_intents)
@reaction_bot.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == reaction_bot.user:
return
await message.add_reaction('🕊️')
reaction_bot.run('YOUR_TOKEN_HERE')
hey, looks cool. i had prob gotta check intents on my discord dashboard if reactions fail sometimes. also unused message content intent in new discord versions might cause issues. try catch error handling if emoji not being added.
In my experience developing a Discord bot with emoji reactions, it’s crucial to double-check your intent settings in both the code and the Discord developer portal. I encountered issues when reactions failed because I overlooked enabling specific privileged intents. Implementing error handling saved me from unexpected crashes, especially when a reaction was not recognized. I also found that logging errors can help quickly pinpoint where the issue lies. Keeping your libraries updated and reviewing Discord’s documentation for recent changes proved valuable in ensuring that the bot continues to function as expected.
