@bot.slash_command()
async def hello(ctx, name: str = None):
name = name or ctx.author.name
await ctx.respond(f"Hello {name}!")
@bot.user_command(name="Say Hello")
async def hi(ctx, user):
await ctx.respond(f"{ctx.author.mention} says hello to {user.name}!")
bot.run("token")Traditional Commands Example
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">", intents=intents)
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send("pong")
bot.run("token")You can find more code examples in the examples directory.
