Adding a command

To add a command either do it in general.py or make a new cog(class with its own listeners and commands):

Adding it in commands.py:

@commands.command #Register the command with the bot.
async def command(self, ctx, arg): #Define the command name.
  await ctx.send(arg) #Execute the command. In this case we send the argument passed back to the user.

• A command must always have at least one parameter, ctx, which is the Context as the first one.
• The command is triggered using prefix+command. The current prefix is . so the command would be .command.

Making a new cog:

• Make a new file or a class in commands.py
• If making a new file don't forget this import:

from discord.ext import commands

• Set up the cog, make sure it has init:

class Cog_Name: #Setup the cog.
  def __init__(self, bot):
    self.bot = bot #If you don't have this the commands won't work as they won't be able to get ctx(context).

• Write your commands the same way as in general.py
• Don't forget to add this at the end:

def setup(bot):
  bot.add_cog(Cog_Name(bot))
