How do I make a bot in Discord.py that will assign roles present in a role.json file, while using the same command to both remove and add the same role. For example, ?role <rolename> will both add and remove a role, depending on if the user has the role assigned. I'm a bit confused on how to achieve this.
My current bot uses ?roleadd <rolename> ?roleremove <rolename>.
I'm not sure where your role.json file comes into play, but here's how I would implement such a command
@bot.command(name="role")
async def _role(ctx, role: discord.Role):
if role in ctx.author.roles:
await ctx.author.remove_roles(role)
else:
await ctx.author.add_roles(role)
This uses the Role converter to automatically resolve the role object from its name, id, or mention.
This code basically just checks that if the command raiser is the owner of the server or not and then assigns the specified role to him.
@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def role(ctx, role:discord.Role):
"""Add a role to someone"""
user = ctx.message.mentions[0]
await user.add_roles(role)
await ctx.send(f"{user.name} has been assigned the role:{role.name}")
Let me break the code down:
@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
These are just plain function decorators. They are pretty much self-explanatory. But still let me tell.
@bot.command() just defines that it is a command.
@commands.is_owner() checks that the person who has raised that command is the owner.
async def role(ctx, role:discord.Role): > This line defines the function.
user = ctx.message.mentions[0] #I don't know about this line.
await user.add_roles(role) #This line adds the roles to the user.
await ctx.send(f"{user.name} has been assigned the role:{role.name}")
#It just sends a kind of notification that the role has been assigned
if discord.utils.get(ctx.message.author.roles, name=rolename): removerole; else: addrole- Patrick Haugh
