How can we include both app_commands/slash commands and regular ones?

[nabtron]

I currently have a bot running regular commands, it begins using:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=['xyz!'], case_insensitive=True, intents=intents, help_command=None)

However, the app_commands requires us to initiate the bot in an entirely different way. How can we combine both of them in the same bot?

Thanks.

Hello, the Bot and AutoShardedBot classes already come with a CommandTree attached that you can add commands to:

bot = commands.Bot(...)

@bot.tree.command()
async def example(interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
    ...

Commands inside Cogs also work out of the box and are added and removed with the cog:

class Example(commands.Cog):
    @discord.app_commands.command()
    async def example(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        ...

async def setup(bot: commands.Bot) -> None:
    await bot.add_cog(Example())  # Commands are added to bot.tree, can be used and synced to Discord by you

Syncing the tree to Discord is still your responsibility when using the commands extension.

If you'd like to have the same commands available as text and slash commands there is a new HybridCommand type in the commands extension that creates both for you at the same time. Note that not every feature that is supported by the commands extension works with slash commands though. To use this simply define a command as you would a regular text command but use the hybrid_command decorator instead.

@LostLuma how do i define the variables like guild for slashcommand in your first code block above?

[LostLuma]

To make a command for certain guilds there is the @guilds decorator in which you can pass guild IDs. Please see the full list of decorators (and other information on this page) it should hopefully answer most of your questions.

@LostLuma sorry but i don't understand how to use copy_global_to in the code block after bot = commands.Bot(...)

@LostLuma This is what i'm trying, but failing:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=['xyz!'], case_insensitive=True,  intents=intents, help_command=None)

@bot.tree.guilds(guild=12345)
@bot.tree.command()
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    """Says hello!"""
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Hi, {interaction.user.mention}')

You'll have to be more specific in describing what is failing to receive help.

@LostLuma i am unable to find this slash command in this guild, so "finding the slash command" is failing...

[LostLuma]

As written in my original reply you will need to sync the commands to Discord. You can see the basic example on how to do this (remember that the tree is already there in a Bot subclass). This example adds them to a single guild only, but you can leave out the copy_global_to and remove the guild argument from the sync call to have them added globally.

@LostLuma

I tried sync too, but still unable to see the command in the guild.

This is the complete code, i am not sure which part has error, please help....! really stuck!

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands
import config

MY_GUILD = discord.Object(id=config.MY_GUILD_ID)
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=['xyz!'], intents=intents)

@discord.app_commands.guilds(MY_GUILD)
@client.tree.command()
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    """Says hello!"""
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Hi, {interaction.user.mention}')

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  await client.tree.sync(guild=MY_GUILD)
  print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

client.run(config.TOKEN)

[LostLuma]

You will have to swap the order of the command and guilds decorators, as mentioned in the documentation.

@LostLuma thankyou! works now! :)
