How do I send messages to a specific channel? #654

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

I'm trying to make a bot that every thirty seconds it sends a piece of text to #bot-commands. How would I do this?

Code: import discord import time client = discord.Client() time.sleep(30) channel.send(ChannelIDHere,'Hello') client.run('mytokenboi') Nothing gets sent.

Note: it is a selfbot.

Thanks!

Read this: http://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html?highlight=sleep#what-does-blocking-mean

Don't use time.sleep, instead use asyncio.sleep.

Now getting syntax errors import discord import asyncio client = discord.Client() await [redtext]asyncio[/redtext].sleep(30) channel.send((discord.Object(id='12324234183172'), 'Hello') client.run('token')
