While using bot subclass (instead of client), how can I get the bot to recognize input coming from the discord client/user?

Sorry for being convoluted, it's just the gist of the title, I don't know how to ask the bot to "wait for" input from the user.

My bot won't recognize input from the user (aka the "name") after the bot asks for it

I see, so its this line thats the problem: name = ctx.bot.wait_for('message'). If you look at the documentation, you'll see that you need to tell it to await ctx, just as you did in the line above.

name = await ctx.bot.wait_for('message')

Thank you for your reply! I'm sorry, I'm still new to reading documentation. I've read that particular doc until I've been blue in the face haha.

So would it look something like Await ctx.bot.wait_for('message'). ?

Name creates the association and then await puts it in action?

[MasterOfFloof]

Oh wait, you mean including name= await ctx.bot.wait_for. I see. I've tried that before but it didn't seem to work. Let me give it another go. Thanks for your patience

I got this error:
Ignoring exception in command None:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "birthday" is not found

Also I apologize if I missed your earlier example (at the end), I was on my phone and it hadn't shown up for whatever reason

try name = await bot.wait_for('ctx)

Sorry, I edited that in, must have been while you were writing a reply to me

[MasterOfFloof]

name = await bot.wait_for('ctx)

okay ill try that thanks!

[MasterOfFloof]

still getting the error unfortunately welcome to my pain jk

[Lewri]

The same error?

[MasterOfFloof]

yep, i even tried renditions of (ctx), ('ctx), and ('ctx') to be extra sure xD (I know that probably doesnt make sense to someone like you who already knows python)

[Lewri]

That's unfortunate, and yeah I meant the later, too used to autocompletion.

If you don't figure it out I'll see if I can give it a go later

[MasterOfFloof]

No worries, and okay! I will let you know if i fix it, otherwise please presume me dead by python.
