When this code runs it works getting the user ID from discord and putting they have 100 money in the json, but once you restart the bot you have to register again and it writes the same user ID in the json file thinking it's a new user when it is not.
from discord.ext import commands
import discord
import json
bot = commands.Bot('!')
amounts = {}
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
global amounts
try:
with open('amounts.json') as f:
amounts = json.load(f)
except FileNotFoundError:
print("Could not load amounts.json")
amounts = {}
@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def balance(ctx):
id = ctx.message.author.id
if id in amounts:
await ctx.send("You have {} in the bank".format(amounts[id]))
else:
await ctx.send("You do not have an account")
@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def register(ctx):
id = ctx.message.author.id
if id not in amounts:
amounts[id] = 100
await ctx.send("You are now registered")
_save()
else:
await ctx.send("You already have an account")
@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def transfer(ctx, amount: int, other: discord.Member):
primary_id = ctx.message.author.id
other_id = other.id
if primary_id not in amounts:
await ctx.send("You do not have an account")
elif other_id not in amounts:
await ctx.send("The other party does not have an account")
elif amounts[primary_id] < amount:
await ctx.send("You cannot afford this transaction")
else:
amounts[primary_id] -= amount
amounts[other_id] += amount
await ctx.send("Transaction complete")
_save()
def _save():
with open('amounts.json', 'w+') as f:
json.dump(amounts, f)
@bot.command()
async def save():
_save()
bot.run("Token")
JSON after the bot is turned off and back on and registered twice (fake user IDs):
{"56789045678956789": 100, "56789045678956789": 100}
Need it to be able to recognize the user IDs even after the bot is turned off and back on.
