Get Discord bot to reply to itself

I am working on a discord bot that will spit out a random response. Some responses include a die roll.

What I would like is if a random response is give that includes a die roll, for the bot to automatically roll the die.

At the moment I am just trying to get it to respond to itself.

I'm new to python/discord.py so please forgive my ignorance

Basic code:

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return


# user types a trigger command
if message.content.startswith('.trigger'):
        choice= [
            "One of many options, lets roll 1d4"
        ]
        result = random.choice(choice)    # I'm doing other bits with the result so hence assigning it to a variable here
        await message.channel.send(result)

# If there is the term 1d4 in the choice message, roll the dice
if '1d4' in message.content:
        roll = random.randrange(1, 4)
        await message.channel.send(f'{"**Result** = "+ str(roll)}')

I don't thing I'm checking to see if the bot is posting the message or anything

One of those cases where to figure out the answer, just ask.

Removed the line

if message.author == client.user:
        return

And it is working how I wanted

Thanks for being my rubber ducky!
