Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"
@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
"""A command to get the current value of `test`."""
# Send what the test attribute is currently set to
await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)
@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
"""A command to set a new value of `test`."""
# Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
bot.test = new_textThis all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.
Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!
<@!683001325440860340> is a bot that will relay your messages to our moderation team, so that you can start a conversation with the moderation team. Your messages will be relayed to the entire moderator team, who will be able to respond to you via the bot.
It supports attachments, codeblocks, and reactions. As communication happens over direct messages, the conversation will stay between you and the mod team.
To use it, simply send a direct message to the bot.
