在 Python 中编程 Discord 机器人 - 我将如何制作它以便我的静音命令是定时的？

Question

So I have a mute commmand using the following code:

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member):
  role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name='Muted')
  await member.add_roles(role)
  embed=discord.Embed(title="User Muted!", description="**{0}** was muted by **{1}**!".format(member, ctx.message.author), color=random.choice(colors))
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

It works fine, but I want to make it so you can specify how long they will be muted for. Not quite sure how to do that.

I am new to programming, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Add a await asyncio.sleep() for the specified time and then remove the role. Make sure to import asyncio .

Answer 2

Although await asyncio.sleep() is an option, I would not recommend it. The time is saved in the cache and if/when the bot restarts or shuts down, the cache will be wiped the people will stay muted forever. In my opinion the best way to deal with that is to use a database where you store the time when people should be unmuted. Menu Docs has a really good tutorial on that, I suggest watching it to get more info.
