Question

I just started learning py today and I have a question with a discord bot im making. So I want to have a bot that spams a certain message every second or so. I have this so far.

import discord
from discord.ext import tasks, commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    print("Logged in as:")
    print(bot.user.name)
    print("------")
    channel = bot.get_channel(854067941632901163)
    print("Channel is:")
    print(channel) #Prints None
    get_price.start()


@tasks.loop(seconds=3)
async def get_price():
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    channel = bot.get_channel(854067941632901163)
    print("Channel is:")
    print(channel) #Prints None
    await channel.send('Test')

@get_price.before_loop
async def before ():
    print("Before done.")

bot.run('token')

Every 3 seconds, it spams a message. I want it so I can say like,spam and it will trigger the bot to spam whatever message is there. and to stop the bot it would be like.stopspam. I've tried taking other bits of codes but none of them have worked. Again yes I an very new so take it easy on me lol.

Answer 1

Just make two commands that will use start() and cancel() . Example:

@bot.command()
async def start(ctx):
    loop.start()


@bot.command()
async def stop(ctx):
    loop.cancel()


@tasks.loop(seconds=3)
async def loop():
    # your loop code here
