Giving Roles with Hikari and Lightbulb

Question

I want to, when a command is ran give the person who ran it a certain role and another command to remove the role. How would I do this?

@bot.command
@lightbulb.command('getpings', 'Will be Pinged (/help For More Info)')
@lightbulb.implements(lightbulb.SlashCommand)
async def give_pings(ctx):
         await bot.rest.add_role_to_member(user=ctx.author, guild=ctx.guild_id, role=roleid)

Error:

Answer 1

First of all, you’re going to have to get the role ID of the role you want to add/remove.

Let’s assume the variable for the role you want to add is called roleid.

You can use lightbulb.BotApp.rest.add_role_to_member to add a role to a member.
assuming you have a variable called bot under which you instantiate lightbulb.BotApp,

await bot.rest.add_role_to_member(user=ctx.author, guild=ctx.guild_id, role=roleid)

Answer 2

Your code is good, but the role you want to add to user needs to be under the bot role. (idk why but that worked for me)
