Having Trouble Making A Discord Bot That Direct Messages @mentioned User

trying to create a command for my bot where you can type /ping @user, and it then dm's mentioned user, as well as replies in chat with 'pong' heres what i have so far: async def cm

Solution 1:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/')

@bot.command()asyncdefping(user: discord.User):
    await bot.send_message(user, "Pong")
    await bot.say("Pong")

@ping.errorasyncdefping_error(ctx, error):  
    # You might have to play with the arguments here depending on your version of discord.pyifisinstance(error, commands.BadArgument):
        await bot.say("Could not find that user.")

I've tried to write the above for "async" branch, but you should know that there is also a "rewrite" branch of discord.py that is more current and has better documentation, especially when it comes to the commands extension.

Did you write safe_send_message? I don't see it documented anywhere.

Solution 2:

This is my warn command. Try to use this as a template.

@client.command(pass_context = True)@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)asyncdefwarn(ctx, userName: discord.User, *, message:str):
    await client.send_message(userName, "You have been warned for: {}".format(message))
    await client.say(":warning: __**{0} Has Been Warned!**__ :warning: Reason:{1} ".format(userName,message))
    pass
