Discord Poll Bot

Hi i am trying to make a poll bot but ive encountered a problem here is the code ignore the other commands other than + poll import discord import os import requests import json im

Solution 1:

I would not use on_message events for that but instead use a command. You can do something like this:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
 
@client.command()asyncdefpoll(ctx, *, text: str):
    poll = await ctx.send(f"{text}")
    await poll.add_reaction("✅")
    await poll.add_reaction("❌")

Here we have text as a str so you can add as many text as you want.

If you want to compare it after 24 hours you would also have to build in a cooldown saver if the bot restarts, otherwise we could go with await asyncio.sleep(TimeAmount)

If you want to check the result with a command we could go for this:

from discord.utils import get
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

@client.command()asyncdefresults(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel, msgID: int):
    msg = await channel.fetch_message(msgID)
    reaction = get(msg.reactions, emoji='✅')
    count1 = reaction.count # Count the one reaction
    reaction2 = get(msg.reactions, emoji="❌")
    count2 = reaction2.count # Count the second reactionawait ctx.send(f"✅**: {count1 - 1}** and ❌**: {count2 - 1}**") # -1 is used to exclude the bot

The usage of the command would be: results #channel MSGID.

Be aware that fetch is an API call and could cause a ratelimit.
