Owner ID

[Skigamer13]

I'm having trouble coding the bot to recognize me as the owner, this is the code I'm currently using "discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner_id(836449409226637313)
discord.ext.commands.bot.owner_is(discord.User)" but it keeps on saying
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 8, in
discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner_id(836449409226637313)
AttributeError: type object 'Bot' has no attribute 'owner_id'"

Hey there,

If you don't have a command which users the is_owner() check, then you'll need to define Bot.owner_id yourself (bot.owner_id = ...).

Take care.

You would create your commands.bot instance and then define it afterwards:

bot = commands.Bot(...) #options etc
bot.owner_id = ...

What should I put in the parentheses for commands.Bot()? And is that all the code I need to identify the owner? Also, thank you for the help.

What should I put in the parentheses for commands.Bot()?

What you already have.

Alright, I looked through the documentation and I tried this code below, but it's giving the response that means the bot doesn't recognize an ID as that of the owner's. Does anybody know how to troubleshoot this part?

def is_owner():
async def predicate(ctx):
return ctx.author.id == 836449409226637313

return commands.check(predicate)

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def secretownercommand(ctx):
await ctx.send('Hello Maker!')

@secretownercommand.error
async def secretownercommand_error(ctx, error):
if isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
await ctx.send('Nothing to see here friend.')

Never mind, I double-checked and I figured out I accidentally used the wrong type of ID, so I corrected it and now everything works! Thanks for all the help everyone!
