How do I make a discord.py embed?

Question

The code essentially is supposed to create an embed and for some reason it gives me the error " 'message' is not defined" (the embed will be put into anoter bot)

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import random
from discord.ext.commands import Bot



class MyClient(discord.Client):

    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)
        channel = self.get_channel(717005397655027805)
        await channel.send("I am now online")

        messageContent = message.Content
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        @client.event
        async def on_message(message):
            if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
                embedVar = discord.Embed(
                    title="Title", description="Desc", color=0x336EFF
                )
                embedVar.add_field(name="Field1", value="hi", inline=False)
                embedVar.add_field(name="Field2", value="hi2", inline=False)
                client.send_message(message.channel, embed=embedVar)

                PREFIX = ("$")
                bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description='Hi')



client = MyClient()
client.run('TOKEN')

Try this (based of Bhavyadeep's code):

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import random

PREFIX = "$"
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description="Hi")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged on as', bot.user)
    # channel = bot.get_channel(717005397655027805)
    # await channel.send("I am now online")

@bot.event
async def on_message(ctx):
    if ctx.content.startswith('!hello'):
        embedVar = discord.Embed(
        title="Title", description="Desc", color=0x336EFF
                )
        embedVar.add_field(name="Field1", value="hi", inline=False)
        embedVar.add_field(name="Field2", value="hi2", inline=False)
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=embedVar)

bot.run("TOKEN")

I've simply replaced "message" with "ctx". If this still doesn't work, then try replacing bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description="Hi") with bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description="Hi", pass_context=True). It also appears your indentation in the class MyClient is wrong, so fix that first. Make sure that async def on_message(... is in the class scope.

If all fails, try and move the code to the global scope (delete the class).

As you use CLASSES AND OBJECTS or OOP for the bot you need correct syntax too. I can't really help you with than but can use normal way.

Step 1:

We will import the libraries:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import random

Step 2:

We will define the Prefix and Bot's variable.

PREFIX = "$"
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description="Hi")

Step 3:

We will now write the bot's on_ready() command according to your code.

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged on as', self.user)
    channel = bot.get_channel(717005397655027805)
    await channel.send("I am now online")

The statement bot.get_channel() is being used to get the channel to send the message.

Step 4:

We will now write bot's on_message function according to your code.

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
        embedVar = discord.Embed(
        title="Title", description="Desc", color=0x336EFF
                )
        embedVar.add_field(name="Field1", value="hi", inline=False)
        embedVar.add_field(name="Field2", value="hi2", inline=False)
        await message.channel.send(embed=embedVar)

Step 5:

We will now create a statement to start up your bot.

bot.run("TOKEN")

Add this command at the bottom of the script.

The whole code compiled will be:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import random

PREFIX = "$"
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description="Hi")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged on as', self.user)
    channel = bot.get_channel(717005397655027805)
    await channel.send("I am now online")

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
        embedVar = discord.Embed(
        title="Title", description="Desc", color=0x336EFF
                )
        embedVar.add_field(name="Field1", value="hi", inline=False)
        embedVar.add_field(name="Field2", value="hi2", inline=False)
        await message.channel.send(embed=embedVar)

This would solve your problem. If you still get any problem, please ask me in the comments. :)

Thank You! :D

You didn't specify what message.Content is in on the on_ready() function, also you need to create the on_message() function outside of the on_ready() func, and you didn't specify what the @client decorator is, you just specified it at the end of your code.

All in all, your fixed code should look something like this

from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN  = "Your token here"
PREFIX = '$'
bot    = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged on as', bot.user)
    channel = bot.get_channel(717005397655027805)
    await channel.send("I am now online")

@bot.command() # Usage - $hello
async def hello(ctx):
    if ctx.message.author == bot.user: return
    embedVar = discord.Embed(title="Title", description="Desc", color=0x336EFF)
    embedVar.add_field(name="Field1", value="hi", inline=False)
    embedVar.add_field(name="Field2", value="hi2", inline=False)
    await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)

bot.run(TOKEN)
