Bot prefix?

[Crossinq]

Hi i'm new to coding and im looking to make a discord music bot. i typed in your code and found the prefix load_dotenv() client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.') but i dont know the play command and i would like to change the prefix. can i just do "= "v!" and then use the command v!play in the discord? because i tried to do this but i dosent seem to be working, is that not an option or is the code not right? -Crossinq

If you use .play, thats the function in the actual code. It’s defined as play which leads to the command to be .play but you can change the prefix to whatever you want.

the way to change it is to change the '.' to the prefix i want right? and then the play command is my prefix then v!play song url

Yes exactly

i use repl, is that a problem? but i have python 3.9 and pycharm installed but i would rather use repl since i can run it 24/7 for free if i get it working

[eric-yeung]

No but make sure to install the dependencies on the readme.md

this dosent really help since useing a browser is from my understanding so that you dont have to download anything and i wanna use repl because then i can get 24/7 uptime so imma just find a diffrent code since this clearly isnt working

[eric-yeung]

Python naturally doesnt have any APIs to do things like this which is why you need to install the dependencies for the bot to use.
