Certainly! Below, I'll guide you through creating a Discord bot in Python that implements a `/massdm` command. This command sends a direct message to every user in the server. However, please be aware of Discord's guidelines and policies regarding mass messaging to avoid rate limits or potential bans.
### Important Note
- Be cautious when sending mass DMs, as this can be considered spam and lead to your bot or account being banned.
- Always get permission from server owners and inform users before sending mass messages.
### Prerequisites
1. **Python Installed**: Make sure you have Python installed on your computer. You can download it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
2. **Discord Bot Token**:
- Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications).
- Create a new application.
- Under the "Bot" section, click "Add Bot" and then "Copy" the Token. You will need this for your bot.
3. **Discord.py Library**: Install `discord.py` which is a Python library for building Discord bots.
```bash
pip install discord.py
```
### Steps to Create the Bot in VSCode
1. **Create a New Folder**: You might want to create a dedicated folder for your bot.
2. **Open VSCode**: Open Visual Studio Code and then open the folder you created.
3. **Create a New Python File**: Create a new file in the folder, e.g., `bot.py`.
4. **Write the Bot Code**: Use the code below in `bot.py`:
```python
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
# Set your bot prefix and create an instance of commands.Bot
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/', intents=discord.Intents.all())
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'Logged in as: {bot.user.name} ({bot.user.id})')
print('------')
@bot.command(name='massdm')
async def massdm(ctx, server_id: int, *, message: str):
guild = bot.get_guild(server_id)
if guild is None:
await ctx.send("Server not found or I'm not a member of that server.")
return
total_messages = 0
for member in guild.members:
if member.bot:
continue # Skip bots
try:
await member.send(message)
total_messages += 1
except discord.Forbidden:
continue # Ignore members who have DMs disabled
await ctx.send(f"Sent DM to {total_messages} members.")
# Run the bot with your token
bot.run('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE')
```
### Replace `YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE`
Replace `'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE'` with the actual token you copied from the Discord Developer Portal.
### Run the Bot
1. **Open Terminal**: In VSCode, you can open a terminal by clicking on `Terminal` > `New Terminal`.
2. **Run the Bot**:
```bash
python bot.py
```
### Inviting Your Bot to a Server
1. Go back to the Discord Developer Portal.
2. Go to "OAuth2" and then "URL Generator".
3. Select the `bot` scope and give it the necessary permissions (like `Send Messages` and `Read Message History`).
4. Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser to invite the bot to your server.
### Usage
Once the bot is running and invited to your server, you can use the command like this:
```
/massdm <server_id> <message>
```
- Replace `<server_id>` with your Discord server's ID (you can get this by right-clicking the server name or icon and selecting "Copy ID" if Developer Mode is enabled in Discord settings).
- Replace `<message>` with the message you want to send.
### Example
If your server ID is `123456789012345678` and you want to send the message "Hello Everyone!", you would use:
```
/massdm 123456789012345678 Hello Everyone!
```
### Important Consideration
- Discord has a rate limit regarding how many DMs can be sent in a short period, so consider implementing some delay if you're sending a large number of messages. Additionally, ensure compliance with Discord's terms of service to avoid penalties.
### Final Steps
- Make sure to test your bot in a safe environment and avoid spamming users without consent.
Enjoy coding your Discord bot! If you have any further questions or issues, feel free to ask!
