Discord.py bot inventory












-2














https://paste.pythondiscord.com/okayudumad.py
This is a snippet of my bot code (dictionary).



I'm trying to make a game discord bot, and I'm currently working on items. The bot itself runs fine, but the problem with my code right now is that everyone shares a single inventory, and I can't figure out how to fix this.



I've attempted to create a separate json file to store inventories and making a dictionary of users, but nothing has worked.



Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's doable, but you need to structure your data just a bit differently. Since you are working with a dictionary, storing it in a file in JSON is fine, though beware that if you are planing on hosting your bot online, local files are not a good option. You could either store them in an array, or have a root object to house all users under. As for the identifiers it's most logical to use an users Discord ID.



Option 1



[
{
"123456": {
"values": 1
},
"543451": {
"values": 1
}
}
]


Option 2



{
"users": {
"123456": {
"values": 1
},
"543451": {
"values": 1
}
}
}


Alternatively what you could do is store it in a database, under a users table (with again the Discord ID as the PK). I find this a lot easier myself, as the structure is easy to expand.
