# python-app-rocketbot

Experimental Discord bot written in Python.

## Usage

* To see the list of commands, type `$rb_help`.
* To get help on a specific command, type `$rb_help command` (don't prefix the command name you want help on)
* To get help on a command group, type `$rb_help group`
* To get help on a subcommand in a group, type `$rb_help group command`
* To see if the bot is alive, type `$rb_hello`

## Setup

Currently the bot is just run in the console locally. It blocks until Ctrl+C is pressed. Before running, you must copy config.py.sample to config.py and fill in the "client_token" value. To get a token, visit https://discord.com/developers/applications and create an application. Then create a bot for the application and enable the "server members intent". Click the "copy" button in the "token" section near the top and paste this value into config.py's "client_token" attribute.

Create a "config" subdirectory under your source folder. This is where guild-specific configuration is written as JSON files.

To start, run `python3 rocketbot.py`. Then visit https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[application_id]&scope=bot&permissions=395204357318, where [application_id] is the "application id" value on your app configuration "general information" page. Once invited, test if the bot is working by typing `$rb_hello` in your Discord server.
