Hey Guys! This is the Fifth episode of this series Creating a Discord Bot with Python using Hikari API. In this video we will be learning how to create Commands using 2 different methods, for getting a response from our bot.
# Register the event to the Bot
@bot.listen(hikari.MessageCreateEvent)
# Define the events's callback. The callback should take a single argument which will be
# an instance of a subclass of hikari.Events
async def ping(event=hikari.MessageCreateEvent):
# Create a condition to accept commands only from Human Users.
if event.is_human:
# Create a condition to read the content to check if command is called
if event.content.strip() == "!ping":
# Send a message to the channel the command was used in
await event.message.respond(f"Pong! Latency: {bot.heartbeat_latency*1000:.2f}ms")# Register the command to the bot
@bot.command
# Use the command decorator to convert the function into a command
@lightbulb.command("ping", "Returns the Latency for our Bot.")
# Define the command type(s) that this command implements
@lightbulb.implements(lightbulb.PrefixCommand, lightbulb.SlashCommand)
# Define the command's callback. The callback should take a single argument which will be
# an instance of a subclass of lightbulb.context.Context when passed in
async def ping(ctx: lightbulb.Context):
# Send a message to the channel the command was used in
await ctx.respond(f"Pong! Latency: {bot.heartbeat_latency*1000:.2f}ms")Lightbulb Documentation Hikari Documentation Read the docs for better understanding of the code.
