Sending messages#
This document holds information regarding shilling with message objects.
Guild types#
Before you start sending any messages you need to define a GUILD / USER. object.
The GUILD objects represents Discord servers with text/voice channels and it can hold TextMESSAGE
and VoiceMESSAGE messages, while USER represents a single user on Discord and can hold DirectMESSAGE messages.
For more information about how to use GUILD / USER click on them.
Guilds can be passed to the framework at startup (see Quickstart) and while the framework is running (see Modifying the shilling list).
Message types#
Periodic messages can be represented with instances of xMESSAGE classes, where x represents the channel type. The channel logic is merged with the message logic which is why there are 3 message classes you can create instances from. These classes accept different parameters but still have some in common:
start_period- If not None, represents bottom range of randomized periodend_period- Ifstart_periodis not None, this represents upper range of randomized period, ifstart_periodis None, represents fixed sending period.data(varies on message types) - data that is actually send to Discord.start_in- Defines when the message the shilling of message should stop (object be removed from framework).
For more information about these, see TextMESSAGE, VoiceMESSAGE, DirectMESSAGE.
Text messages#
To periodically send text messages you’ll have to use either TextMESSAGE for sending to text channels inside the guild or DirectMESSAGE for sending to user’s private DM.
To add these messages to the guild, set the GUILD / USER’s messages parameter to a table that has the message objects inside.

Voice messages#
Shilling an audio message requires VoiceMESSAGE objects.
You can only stream audio to guilds, users(direct messages) are not supported.
You can either stream a fixed audio file or a youtube video, both thru daf.dtypes.AUDIO object.
