Best way to achieve a questions/answer bot

[jbaumgarten]

Guys,

I try to dev a bot which handle many questions/answers which should work like:

• question
• client answer
• new question
• ...

Is there a way to achieve this in a command or should I parse on_message events?

You can use the wait_for
method.

For example

message = await bot.wait_for("message")
print(message)

More documentation here:

Another example in a command

@bot.command()
async def game(ctx):
    await ctx.send("What is 2+3?")
    response = await bot.wait_for("message", check=lambda m: m.author == ctx.author and m.channel == ctx.channel)
    if response.content == "5":
        return await ctx.send("Correct!")

The check ensures that the wait for only triggers it the message was sent in the same channel by the same user
