@bot.command

        await bot.send_message(message.channel, "Pong")




bot.run("TOKEN", bot=True)

I'm trying to get this work on my discord test server but when I use it like this, only the first "on_ready" and !hel command works, ping doesn't print anything, but when I delete the !hel commands code part, ping works, is there any way that I can make them work together?

  • In hel, is sot.say supposed to be bot.say? Commented Dec 2, 2017 at 18:08
  • Ah, yes, I just didn't realised it, I changed the regular name into "bot" here to make it look simpler and mistyped it. It's correct in my original code Commented Dec 2, 2017 at 18:09

Change @bot.command to @bot.event when using on_message

Add bot.process_commands when using on_message

Why does on_message make my commands stop working?

Overriding the default provided on_message forbids any extra commands from running. To fix this, add a bot.process_commands(message) line at the end of your on_message. For example:

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    # do some extra stuff here

    await bot.process_commands(message)

Your code should look like this:

import asyncio
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
import chalk


bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await bot.change_presence(game=discord.Game(name='Test'))
    print("All systems online and working " + bot.user.name)
    await bot.send_message(discord.Object(id=386518608550952965), "All systems online and working")

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def hel(ctx):
    await bot.say("A help message is sent to user")


@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith("ping"):
        await bot.send_message(message.channel, "Pong")

    await bot.process_commands(message)


bot.run("TOKEN", bot=True)

Try replacing the @bot.command above on_message with @bot.event
