discord py - 如果用户回复我的机器人，则发送不同的消息

Question

I want to send a specific message if anyone replies to a message from my discord bot, I tried many things, but can't find a solution. Aside from that, it is new in 1.6 and I can't find it in the docs from discord. I found "reference" but don't understand how I can use that.

What I tried:

if len(message.replies) >= 0:
   await ctx.send('thanks for reply dude')

but sadly, that doesn't work.

Answer 1

It's not message.replies , it's message.reference

if message.reference is not None:
    await ctx.send("Thanks for the reply dude")

if message.reference is not None:
    if message.reference.cached_message is None:
        # Fetching the message
        channel = bot.get_channel(message.reference.channel_id)
        msg = await channel.fetch_message(message.reference.message_id)

    else:
        msg = message.reference.cached_message

Note that this still has some flaws, the message_id attribute can also be None

Reference:

• Message.reference
• MessageReference.channel_id
• MessageReference.messageid
