Hey everyone! I’m trying to create a Discord bot that can tell users which server and channel they’re in. I’ve got a command set up, but I can’t figure out how to make the bot say the actual names. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
@bot.command()
async def location(ctx):
await ctx.send(f'You are in {guild_name} on {channel_name}')
But it’s not working. The bot just sends the message with {guild_name} and {channel_name} as plain text, instead of the actual names. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the correct server and channel names? I’m pretty new to Discord bot programming, so any advice would be super helpful. Thanks!
Yo John, try this:
@bot.command()
async def location(ctx):
await ctx.send(f’ur in {ctx.guild.name} on {ctx.channel.name}')
Should work. ctx has all the info u need bout where the command was used. good luck with ur bot man!
I’ve encountered this issue before when working on my own Discord bot. The problem is that you’re not accessing the context object correctly. Here’s a solution that should work:
@bot.command()
async def location(ctx):
await ctx.send(f’You are in {ctx.guild.name} on {ctx.channel.name}')
The ‘ctx’ parameter provides access to the context of where the command was invoked. By using ctx.guild.name and ctx.channel.name, you can retrieve the actual server and channel names. This approach is more reliable and doesn’t require hardcoding any values. Let me know if you need any further clarification on implementing this in your bot.
