I am working on a discord bot for basic moderation which does kick
, ban
and mute
for now at least. But the problem is other members can use it too. I want only a few specified role who can use it.
Don't want to work on it depending on the @role
either because the name of the roles across different servers aren't the same. Also wanting to keep the bot as simple as possible.
Now, I started out as this:
@client.command(name='ban')
async def mod_ban(member: discord.User):
try:
await client.ban(member, delete_message_days=0)
await client.say('**{0}** has been banned.'.format(str(member)))
except Exception as error:
await client.say(error)
But any member can use the commands then. So, tried follow this one = Permission System for Discord.py Bot and ended up with this:
@client.command(name='ban')
async def mod_ban(context, member: discord.User):
if context.message.author.server_premission.administrator:
try:
await client.ban(member, delete_message_days=0)
await client.say('**{0}** has been banned.'.format(str(member)))
except Exception as error:
await client.say(error)
else:
await client.say('Looks like you don\'t have the perm.')
Which lands me with this error: ;-;
raise MissingRequiredArgument('{0.name} is a required argument that is missing.'.format(param))
discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: member is a required argument that is missing.
Also, besides context.message.author.server_premission.administrator
I don't only want the roles with Admin perm to use this command. I also want a few other roles with have few perms like manage message
, manage roles
etc. to use to command too.
Thanks in advance for the help! Also, sorry if I've missed anything stupid or silly ;-;
You aren't passing the context into the coroutine in your second example (and as @Andrei suggests, you can only ban members):
@client.command(name='ban', pass_context=True)
async def mod_ban(context, member: discord.Member):
...
Also, I should probably update my answer to that question. In the context of commands, you can use the very powerful checks built into discord.ext.commands
to do a lot of this for you. has_permissions
does exactly what you're looking for, validating that the user has any of the necessary permissions.
from discord.ext.commands import has_permissions, CheckFailure
@client.command(name='ban', pass_context=true)
@has_permissions(administrator=True, manage_messages=True, manage_roles=True)
async def mod_ban(ctx, member: discord.Member):
await client.ban(member, delete_message_days=0)
await client.say('**{0}** has been banned.'.format(str(member)))
@mod_ban.error
async def mod_ban_error(error, ctx):
if isinstance(error, CheckFailure):
await client.send_message(ctx.message.channel, "Looks like you don't have the perm.")
As far as I can see in the discord.py documentation discord.User is not the same as discord.Member.
Try to change
async def mod_ban(context, member: discord.User):
to
async def mod_ban(context, member: discord.Member):
