Discord.py 私信

Question

I am trying to make a discord bot that sends a DM to someone with a command like:

!messagesteve hello world

and it would send a message directly to the person I want.

I've tried the following, but to no avail:

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def dm(ctx):
    user=await client.get_user_info("381870129706958")
    await client.send_message(user, "test")

Any help is appreciated.

It seems as though you're using the old docs of d.py (v0.16.x). The most recent version is on rewrite (v1.x).

One of the changes, amongst others , is that context is automatically implied (you don't need pass_context=True ) and the syntax for sending messages has changed, as you'll see in the example:

@client.command()
async def dm(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, message):
    try:
        await member.send(message)
    except: # this will error if the user has blocked the bot or has server dms disabled
        await ctx.send("Sorry, that user had DMs disabled!")
    else:
        await ctx.send(f"Successfully sent {member} a DM!")

The usage, assuming a prefix of ! , the usage of the command will be:
,dm @Skyonimous Hey there, I'm DMing you from a bot!

* in the arguments "consumes rest", which means that the argument that succeeds it ( message ) will act as one whole argument, no matter the number of spaces, so you can send a whole paragraph to a user if you want!

If there's anything that you want me to clarify, I'll be more than happy to!
