How do I check if message author is my bot?-CodePudding

I have included a code snippet from my Discord bot, What this code snippet does is checks if the message author is a bot. If it is a bot it will delete the message. Of course I have this set to only 1 channel(General). Is there anyway I can add an additional command argument so none of this code runs if the author is MY BOT that I'm running this code on? I assume its something along the lines of if (message.author.this_bot):

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if (message.author.bot):
        if message.channel.id == 861627289867517952:
          await message.delete()
          print("A Message Was Deleted In General")
          channel = client.get_channel(861627289867517952)
          await channel.send("Please do not send bot commmands in this channel!")

CodePudding user response：

The author member of message has id. If this id matches client.user.id then this message was sent by your bot.

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if(message.author.id == client.user.id):
        # This message belongs to this bot.

What you can do is something like this

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if (message.author.id != YOUR_BOT_ID) and (message.author.bot):
        if message.channel.id == 861627289867517952:
          await message.delete()
          print("A Message Was Deleted In General")
          channel = client.get_channel(861627289867517952)
          await channel.send("Please do not send bot commmands in this channel!")

You should be able to get YOUR_BOT_ID from the discord developer portal.
