How to change the message flag to whisper user?

I heard message flag value 1 << 6 will allow whispering to the user, how do I change the message flag to try this?

I am guessing you mean DM them. You don't actually have to change the message flag to do this. To send a DM just simply do:

userID = ctx.author.mention.replace('<@', '').replace('>', '')
user = ctx.get_user(int(userID))
await user.send(message)

This will get the user that ran a command, and then send them the message variable.

Thanks, I was actually referring to whisper within the same channel, but I now found out that you can only do this to respond to slash commands

This is only available to slash commands/interactions and not regular bots.
