[wanton roost]

Wow, can i take it?

[wanton roost]

I just made a bot..

[novel prairie]

it doesnt work lmao

[wanton roost]

Woah?

[slate swan]

You are trying to get the owner?

And mention them?

get_owner = await ctx.guild.fetch_member(ctx.guild.owner_id) part one) this will get the owner id
get_owner.mention part 2 this will allow you to mention the owner

Now again, think about the positioning of the code.

[novel prairie]

mention the owner

[royal meteor]

How can I fix this?

[slate swan]

💀

<@{ctx.guild.owner}>

[novel prairie]

like that py @bot.command() async def info(ctx): get_owner = await ctx.guild.fetch_member(ctx.guild.owner_id) get_owner.mention embed=discord.Embed (title=f""" **{ctx.guild.name} Info**""",description=f""" **Server ID** {ctx.guild.id} **Created On** {ctx.guild.created_at.strftime}("%b %d %Y") **Server Owner** <@{ctx.guild.owner}> **Member Count** {ctx.guild.member_count} **Channels** {len(ctx.guild.text_channels)} Text | {len(ctx.guild.voice_channels)} Voice **Region** {ctx.guild.region}""", color=000000) await ctx.message.reply(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

Why write this much code when you can just do this

send full tb

ಥ_ಥ

[slate swan]

I don’t think you can use bold characters in title

Correct me if I’m wrong

[slate swan]

just do ctx.guild.owner.mention ...?

[tacit storm]

no

[slate swan]

why?

[tacit storm]

ctx.guild.owner returns a member object not an id. so you cannot mention the owner like that

[slate swan]

the folder path is faulty, check it

💀

[hardy yoke]

as established earlier, they don't have member intents. So they can't do it like that

[slate swan]

Then use @ without <>

[slate swan]

Member.mention ...?

[royal meteor]

I gave the full path but it showed same error

[slate swan]

cool

[slate swan]

ctx.guild.owner_id actually

[slate swan]

wont work

[slate swan]

mhm

[slate swan]

owner.id if they are in 2.0..?

the owner_id property doesn't require member intents

wb this

sarthyyy

[slate swan]

Wish we could be smart as sarth

[slate swan]

they can still use owner_id

[novel prairie]

nvm i removed the owner thing i wil fix it later

[slate swan]

💀

[novel prairie]

but now it says something like Your ip:

[thorn grove]

Is it discord.utils again?

[slate swan]

hi ash

[slate swan]

I'm not even equivalent to a sloth, might as well forget about that level 😔

[novel prairie]

balls💀

[tacit storm]

yes but one thing can go wrong with this, one is that it could return None if the guild isn’t in cache by chance iirc

[royal meteor]

I used the full path to the file but it still showed the same error

[slate swan]

you don't need to be, I'm quite pathetic

[slate swan]

Oh

ever used tagscript?

what even is tagscript

[novel prairie]

balls

[slate swan]

The tag thing in bots

[slate swan]

I'd like to shoot the person who turns Guild intents off + if you really want that much code security use rus- uk

[slate swan]

really informative

[novel prairie]

[thorn grove]

Guys?

[slate swan]

You want me to explain what tag script it without knowing what / how to use it?

[slate swan]

what's that, something like r Danny's tag command?

[slate swan]

yup

[slate swan]

yes.

[slate swan]

.....

[tacit storm]

its not always an issue with intents. for some reason guilds just aren’t always in the cache for no fuckin reason. especially if you’re using AutoShardedClient

[slate swan]

you can set permission overwrites for that role in the channel

[tacit storm]

who tf turns off the guild intent either way

[slate swan]

welcome to #discord-bots

[tacit storm]

isn’t it enabled in Intents.default by default either way?

[thorn grove]

Is there a documentation i can read?

[slate swan]

you dont?

[novel prairie]

    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent```

[royal meteor]

I gave the full path but it showed the same error

[slate swan]

Imagine using the code of red bot for a custom bot and being promoted to admin for that 💀

[novel prairie]

bruh

[slate swan]

Not me ^

[slate swan]

no ifea

idea

[tacit storm]

why would i smh. nearly half of the events in all of dpy utilize guilds + the guild intent smh

[slate swan]

redbot?

Yup

[slate swan]

well yeah ctx.guild would be None in that case, but since get_context prepares that and makes sure it's not None by get/fetching it

[tacit storm]

it’s some shitty open source bot people make custom cogs for

it’s mid

[hardy yoke]

embed and message aren't on the same indentation level

[slate swan]

And it’s being used for a 2.7k server

[slate swan]

understand the sarcasm 😔

[tacit storm]

ik ik i was going off of it

[slate swan]

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.set\_permissions

await set_permissions(target, *, overwrite=see - below, reason=None, **permissions)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The `target` parameter should either be a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that belongs to guild.

The `overwrite` parameter, if given, must either be `None` or [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite"). For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the `overwrite` parameter.

If the `overwrite` parameter is `None`, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this...

[slate swan]

I'm scarred I mean, who even does that

[thorn grove]

Thanks

[tacit storm]

just because it’s used in a lot of servers doesnt mean it good necessarily. why do you think mee6 is still shit bro

[slate swan]

I don’t even use mee6

y'all kids, I don't even host my bots

[tacit storm]

what.

[slate swan]

💀

[tacit storm]

stop using replit

[hardy yoke]

this is the repl curse

[slate swan]

I dont even make bots, argue.

Ye replit

[novel prairie]

no df

[tacit storm]

i already know that you’re using replit and replit gets your shit blocked.

[hardy yoke]

type kill 1 in the shell and it'll fix itself probably

[slate swan]

ill make a tutorial on how to make a simple bot

[slate swan]

I use rust btw

[tacit storm]

or just stop fucking using replit smh

[novel prairie]

no

lmao

[slate swan]

I guide others to the path i cannot pursue

it's under progress

[tacit storm]

well good luck with that error then and getting constant ratelimits!

[novel prairie]

balls

[slate swan]

the exclamation mark makes the message a whole lot worse

[tacit storm]

so funny. im laughing my ass off because someone said “balls”. im laughing so hard rn omg

[novel prairie]

balls

[fresh ferry]

any ideas boys ?

[slate swan]

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[slate swan]

go gobble yours up and enjoy bye

who tf uses spaces tho

me

[fresh ferry]

so i should go forward a tab or back a tab ?

[hardy yoke]

you have a try: right there lota

[slate swan]

like this?

[slate swan]

no lmao, a tab but a tab of spaces

[thorn grove]

@slate swan what do i put after the target? What is for the channel viewing?

[slate swan]

Channel. set_permission(role, ...)

[hardy yoke]

if you want to use a try: statement you need to indent code inside it

although it'll break anyway because there's no except: statement

did you mean to use try?

[thorn grove]

Only that?

[slate swan]

hi guys I am doing python app and I want to let discord show the activity of my app how to do that

[slate swan]

open the docs it has an example

[thorn grove]

Oh yeah thanks

[slate swan]

settings > activity > your app

[thorn grove]

Its only read message tho

[fresh ferry]

honestly, i dont know python, i paid a guy to make me three bots and he ended up blocking me after i showed him errors in code .... so im having to fix it myself

[thorn grove]

I mean channel visibility

[slate swan]

Please read rule 7 too.

[hardy yoke]

lol
just delete try: and it'll be fine

[slate swan]

no I want to do that automticly like other apps

[slate swan]

you gotta set view_channel to False

[thorn grove]

Thanks!!!!

[slate swan]

that's a single time process

[slate swan]

yes about discord

!rule 7 what is it lmao

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

7. Keep discussions relevant to the channel topic. Each channel's description tells you the topic.

[slate swan]

what do you mean

[fresh ferry]

ooofft

[slate swan]

you need to do it only once .

[hardy yoke]

oh well there's the except statement

[slate swan]

use async with the functions

[fresh ferry]

its algoods i mean best way to learn right ? being chucked into the deep end ahha

[slate swan]

ok

discord bots is totally not the best way to learn py

or any programming language in general

[near sail]

^

[slate swan]

I know python from 4 years and I always use it but I am new at discord.py

that's good you'll get an easy grip at it once you check out the docs

[fresh ferry]

i mean i really want to get into python none the less but yeah i know what you mean, i guess ill try and take a course and pay someone to fix these bots

[slate swan]

bro dont pay

[fresh ferry]

your good man its not your job too 🙂

[slate swan]

I learned java , python , c# , c/c++ , html , css , js in one year without paying

soo dont pay

[fresh ferry]

hmmm i mean where would one go to learn python/java ?

[slate swan]

^ there are pretty much free resources available

not in one year actualy but near that maybe 1 year and 4 months like that

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, news=False, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=..., default_auto_archive_duration=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you need the [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.10)") of overwrites with the target (either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite") as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit "discord.TextChannel.edit") will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

[slate swan]

the overwrites kwarg

I learned the bad way, school and docs

[thorn grove]

Do i put channel_view there?

[slate swan]

yes and stackoverflew for help

[fresh ferry]

i find that youtube is too saturated with info ? idk tho i mean ill try youtube, i was gonna sign myself up to cs20 fo java

[slate swan]

@commands.cooldown(1, 86400, commands.BucketType.user) how to make it into db, like if i restart bot it is not resetting for everyne

[slate swan]

what exactly is channel_view? a permission overwrite?

[slate swan]

ok good thing me too I started with youtube

note : if you learned 1 programming languege you will know some of the other like if you learned java you will know c/c++ and c#

[slate swan]

you would have to use dynamic cooldowns and create your own cooldown system

!d discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown

codegrepper is the badest thing everything is not working there 😂

[thorn grove]

I want to disable to view the created channel at default, how would i do that?

[slate swan]

@fresh ferry note : start with python

[slate swan]

!d discord.PermissionOverwrite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PermissionOverwrite

class discord.PermissionOverwrite(**kwargs)```
A type that is used to represent a channel specific permission.

Unlike a regular [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions"), the default value of a permission is equivalent to `None` and not `False`. Setting a value to `False` is **explicitly** denying that permission, while setting a value to `True` is **explicitly** allowing that permission.

The values supported by this are the same as [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") with the added possibility of it being set to `None`.

x == y Checks if two overwrites are equal.

x != y Checks if two overwrites are not equal.

iter(x) Returns an iterator of `(perm, value)` pairs. This allows it to be, for example, constructed as a dict or a list of pairs. Note that aliases are not shown.

[slate swan]

you would have to pass in this object for that kwarg

[fresh ferry]

i will 🙂

[thorn grove]

Yep got it

[slate swan]

omg..

!d discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.dynamic\_cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown, type)```
A decorator that adds a dynamic cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

This differs from [`cooldown()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.cooldown "discord.ext.commands.cooldown") in that it takes a function that accepts a single parameter of type [`discord.Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") and must return a [`Cooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Cooldown "discord.app_commands.Cooldown") or `None`. If `None` is returned then that cooldown is effectively bypassed.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

New in version 2.0.

[silver reef]

hey,how can i keep track of a certain command?
example : if i run a "1st command" >> !attack (prefix = !)
so the bot will ask me to choose between 3 commands like
!npc 1 , !npc 2, !npc 3 (choosing between 3 npc to attack)
but i want the user to be able to use one of these 3 commands only when he trigger the "1st command" (!attack)
can someone tell me how to do that? is there a specific method that i have to use?

[slate swan]

@slate swan may u help me with @discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown(1, 86400, commands.BucketType.user)

i cant catch what should i do with dynamic_cooldown

[slate swan]

1 day cooldown?

Oh btw
If the user sends
.reminder 1h something
How can I make the bot respond in 1h rather than the user having to send seconds

[slate swan]

i made myself like:

f"try again after {error.retry_after/3600:.0f} h"

[slate swan]

Oh

I can’t just use it in a command where I want the bot to respond after 1h or the time the user sent

i even need help for myself, sorry..

what library are you using?

Wait

I forgor discord.permission.overwrote

[royal meteor]

For an icon_url in the footer of an embed, what is the recommended image size?

[paper sluice]

the order in which the decorator passed arguments is interaction then button
so your function signature should be

[robust fulcrum]

    @discord.ui.button(label="1",style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray,row=0)

I did a kid mistake

[slate swan]

aren't you a kid too

[swift pumice]

damn

when i started with python i started with discord bots

[slate swan]

totally more than three-fourth of the persons in this channel

[robust fulcrum]

How can I make that the author of the message can only use the button?

[slate swan]

add a check

class MyView(ui.View):
  def __init__(self, valid: typing.Union[discord.User, discord.Member]) -> None:
    self.valid_user = valid

  async def interaction_check(self, inter: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
    return inter.author == valid

@bot.command()
#whatever
await ctx.send("...", view=MyView(ctx.author))

[robust fulcrum]

Do i need to add check in every button decorator?

@slate swan

[slate swan]

interaction_check is triggered automatically whenever a button is clicked

[thorn grove]

Do i remove it?

[slate swan]

remove the braces

[thorn grove]

I did

Still error

@slate swan

[slate swan]

Hi

[slate swan]

read the error

[thorn grove]

Excpects a dict

[slate swan]

sparky

[slate swan]

yes. thanku

[slate swan]

😄 I'm inactive cuz my exams are going on

[thorn grove]

How would i add that •́ ‿ ,•̀

[slate swan]

imagine

Reality

Going here

Tmrw math exam easy

[paper sluice]

show code

[slate swan]

Hey ryuga ^_^

[paper sluice]

hi

[slate swan]

hm looks kind of serious

Otherwise u also add 👋

[slate swan]

just read the docs

[thorn grove]

Its there

Line 23

[paper sluice]

im just becoming lazy lol

[paper sluice]

thats different

you just did overwrite = discord....its supposed to be a dict

[thorn grove]

Okay

[thorn grove]

Is there an example?

[paper sluice]

#discord-bots message

[robust fulcrum]

Oh k

[robust fulcrum]

I mean that do i need to put it at top of discord.ui.view class?

[thorn grove]

I mean on how it supposed to be a dict

Oh

Wait

Yep

How?

[slate swan]

no?

"whenever a button is clicked", didnt refer to a specific button

[thorn grove]

It still dont work lol ಥ╭╮ಥ

New code:

Same error

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, news=False, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=..., default_auto_archive_duration=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you need the [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.10)") of overwrites with the target (either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite") as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit "discord.TextChannel.edit") will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

[thorn grove]

It expects a dict

[vocal snow]

Then why aren't you passing a dict 🤨

[thorn grove]

Lol saw that multiple times

[thorn grove]

Thats the question

Whats a dict

[vocal snow]

!dictionary

Yeah you should just google this

It's a basic data structure

[eternal fox]

change line 22 into:

overwrites = {
 discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True)
}

i mean

[slate swan]

Which ide btw

[eternal fox]

pydroid 3 i think

[vocal snow]

That's a set...

[eternal fox]

Oh well its in here

[slate swan]

That's good , otherwise people just say I dont have pc I can't code

[vocal snow]

You really can't code properly on a phone

And it's more of a text editor than an IDE

[slate swan]

I cant even type properly on phone imagine writing code

[vocal snow]

I can't imagine staring at a small screen for hours, it must be really bad for your eyes

Although I use light mode so maybe i shouldn't speak

[paper sluice]

do you know what a dict is?

[slate swan]

how to delete 5 messages in the “channel” sent by the “bot”

[slate swan]

TextChannel.purge has a check kwarg

Mhm

def check(msg: discord.Message):
  return msg.author.id == client.user.id
await ctx.channel.purge(check=check, limit=...)

[silver reef]

anyone knows how to track specific command?

[vocal snow]

lambda m: m.author == client.user

[slate swan]

no.

[vocal snow]

Yes!!

[slate swan]

I hate lambda for no reason

[vocal snow]

Whst do you mean by track?

You want to log whenever a certain command is used or something like that?

[robust fulcrum]

Finally me done with button calculator

[silver reef]

example : if i run a "1st command" >> !attack (prefix = !)
so the bot will ask me to choose between 3 commands like
!npc 1 , !npc 2, !npc 3 (choosing between 3 npc to attack)
but i want the user to be able to use one of these 3 commands only when he trigger the "1st command" (!attack)

its something like if command 1 is True the other commands can run

[vocal snow]

You could use bot.wait_for... or you might need to implement a command handler suited to your case

[novel prairie]

i want to remove the "help" command that is already build in my bot and i dont know how so i used this py bot.remove_command('help') but it didnt work also i put this code at the top of my code how can i fix this

[silver reef]

what is a command handler?

[vocal snow]

are you trying to make a custom help command?

[vocal snow]

something that parses user input and handles command invokation, like discord.ext.commands

[silver reef]

ye that what iam searching for

can u send me a link of that?

[novel prairie]

no i already have one custom i just want to remove the one that i didnt build

i want to remove the command in the picture

[vocal snow]

when you're creating your Bot instance set help_command=None

[novel prairie]

where do i type this?

in the top of my code in the main.py file?

[vocal snow]

commands.Bot(help_command=None)

[thorn grove]

If i remeber correctly it was somekind of class

[novel prairie]

?

[thorn grove]

Or array

But how would i turn it to an dict?

@vocal snow

[vocal snow]

turn what to a dict?

[thorn grove]

The overwrites

[vocal snow]

you don't turn the overwrites to a dict, you use them in a dict

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[vocal snow]

there are examples here, please check

[thorn grove]

Okay

[novel prairie]

um

can someone help me?

with the code

[vocal snow]

are you getting an error?

[paper sluice]

close, its a datatype that stores key-value pairs, so for your case you want the key to be an attribute of discord.Guild and value as a PermissionOverwrite

[novel prairie]

no i dont know where to type the code

[thorn grove]

I tried copy and pasting a code from the documentation and it got an error

[vocal snow]

I would recommend learning about dicts first

[thorn grove]

Yeee thanks

[vocal snow]

are you using discord.Client or commands.Bot?

[novel prairie]

@bot.command()

[thorn grove]

@paper sluice

[vocal snow]

ok, so when you do bot = commands.Bot(...) set help_command = None

[paper sluice]

https://realpython.com/python-dicts/

[thorn grove]

So lemme guess

My code was wrong 🤦

[novel prairie]

ok so i put this at the top of my main.py code?

[vocal snow]

if that's where you're doing bot = commands.Bot(...) sure

[novel prairie]

oke

[paper sluice]

click on the link and go through the tutorial once, it shows exactly how dicts work

[novel prairie]

File "main.py", line 1
    bot = commands.Bot(...) set help_command = None
                            ^

[vocal snow]

no man 🤦

I would recommend learning some python basics

[novel prairie]

sorry im new to dev

[vocal snow]

[silver reef]

@vocal snow can u send me a link of how to use the command handler thing?

[vocal snow]

I meant that you'd have to implement your own command handler for a compicated usecase

[glad cradle]

😐 you didn't import anything

[vocal snow]

The easier option is to use bot.wait_for in your command to get user input

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

wait_for(event, /, *, check=None, timeout=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[novel prairie]

what do i need to import?

[glad cradle]

from discord.ext import commands

😐

[novel prairie]

i already have that

lmao

[glad cradle]

.

[novel prairie]

💀

[glad cradle]

then why did you have

bot = ...

at line 1 lmao

[eternal fox]

do this

bot = commands.Bot(yourstuffhere,help_command=None)

[novel prairie]

i didnt know where to type this code 💀

[novel prairie]

wdym (yourstuffhere)?

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[glad cradle]

it should go under the imported modules of course

[novel prairie]

yea but now i have this error py File "main.py", line 18, in <module> bot = commands.bot(help_command=None) TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

[eternal fox]

like the command_prefix

[novel prairie]

ok wait a min

[glad cradle]

it's commands.Bot(...) not commands.bot(...)

[vocal snow]

I would seriously recommend taking a python course, it will save you a shit ton of time

[eternal fox]

ye

Yee,python is very case sensitive

[novel prairie]

i dont want to sent my full code here sorry

File "main.py", line 17, in <module>

ok💀

[paper sluice]

from discord.ext.commands import bot
bot = commands.Bot(help_command=None)
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents,case_insensitive = True)

💀 please learn basics of python before making a discord bot, its fairly advanced

[eternal fox]

ok so remove

bot = commands.Bot(help_command=None)
```py
then edit 
```py
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!",intents=intents,case_insensitive = True)

into this:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!",intents=intents,case_insensitive = True,help_command = None)

dont mind the py

[paper sluice]

you shouldn't spoon feed

thx for the secrets

NOOOOO

[royal meteor]

How to fix "The application did not respond" error

[glad cradle]

are you getting any errors?

[royal meteor]

No but when I use the slash command, it says that

Not in terminal

[glad cradle]

probably there is some problem with your code, if you want you can send it

[eternal fox]

okk soo uhh i have a question,is there any other language you can use to make discord bots other than node.js and python

[paper sluice]

you can make it in any language

[eternal fox]

oh damn

okioki thx thx

[fresh ferry]

bot hosting site says i dont have proper perms for bot to operate to full capacity, yet on my discord dev portal iv given it admin controls and pretty much every perm their is ? im scratching my head in mass confusion

[slate swan]

Is anyone having problems with slash commands?

I'm trying to make a slash command but it just doesn't assume it exists

but the funny part is that it takes over 3 others that I had created before

[hushed galleon]

the discord API documentation lists some libraries in a few other languages, but technically any language that can do API requests is sufficient to interact with discord https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/community-resources#libraries

[eternal fox]

okkk thx thx

[vocal snow]

bot hosting site?

[vocal snow]

wdym 🤔

[eternal fox]

Ok wow thats actually alot

[royal meteor]

What is the cause of "The application did not respond" and how do I fix it???

[cloud dawn]

We don't help/condone the creation of music bots here.

[cloud dawn]

It meant the bot you are currently making didn't respond in the given 5 seconds, Discord wants to receive a response.

[royal meteor]

So is that not something wrong with my code?

[cloud dawn]

This is the case with slash command or any components like button, modals etc.

[slate swan]

I have these two codes. The bot is just assuming that the 1st command exists and is not assuming that the 2nd command exists, when the two are exactly the same.

and I don't have any kind of error, that's the problem

[cloud dawn]

Well yes and no, you can make code work and have that as response. Best is to handle the response and send something back.

[royal meteor]

How can I do that?

[cloud dawn]

Did you add the second command? How do you register/sync the commands?

[slate swan]

wdym?

[cloud dawn]

A response can be a lot of things but usually a response is a message to the user.

[fresh ferry]

pebblehosting , im getting missing permissions for my bot

[cloud dawn]

pong, channel_message, deferred_channel_message, deferred_message_update, message_update, autocomplete_result, modal, these are all the responses.

You could also get a not responded if the code couldn't reach the response, aka an error.

[slate swan]

the problem is that it doesn't give any error.

I'm not able to create other slash commands in any folder I put. It's not just that

[cloud dawn]

Well like you said they should work, so it's likely a register/sync error.

[royal meteor]

So after the intended interaction is sent, but fails, would the response message use interaction or ctx?

[dapper geyser]

can some one help me my giveaway bot is half working but he cant count down and cause of that no one is the winer 💀

[cloud dawn]

interaction always

[royal meteor]

thanks

[cloud dawn]

unless you use py-cord i think.

Not sure but I thought they still used ctx for everything.

[cloud dawn]

Why count down at all just give it a datetime object.

[fresh ferry]

iv given all my bots every permission that im capable of giving thats including admin, iv spent 2 days trying to fix this.... any help would be thankful ❤️

[dapper geyser]

wait can i msg u

[cloud dawn]

You have not provided the right scope, I assume you are trying to work with slash commands?

[dapper geyser]

tbh i am really new and just making the bot fore my friends bday so i dont know a lot about coding

[fresh ferry]

it uses "!" command

[novel prairie]

df im not creating a music bot lmao

[royal meteor]

import youtube_dl

[vocal snow]

Make sure the bot's top role is higher than whomever you're trying to ban

[fresh ferry]

its higher then the owner with admin commands

[novel prairie]

yea i tried to create a music bot i saw it didnt work and i left import youtube_dl there

[vocal snow]

But is the top role of whoever you're banning the same as or higher than the bot's top role?

[fresh ferry]

no all roles that im wanting to ban are way below the bots role

[vocal snow]

Also; you can't ban the server owner

[fresh ferry]

i know but im using it to ban the role of said user and for some reason it'll remove anyones roles if it detects said banned words, its just not reacting the way it was months ago....

[cloud dawn]

I recommend fixing all the previous errors first, work from top to bottom.

[vocal snow]

Oh wait you're removing roles not banning someone i misread

Although the reasons should be the same

[fresh ferry]

funny thing, i paid someone to make the bot but they claim that there is no errors and shows me it working on their server but when i host it i have a moutain of errors, they do not want to help me fix this errors and pretty much chalked me so me not knowing any code im forced to fix them lol

[cloud dawn]

Hmm 5 dollar gig on fiverr?

[dapper geyser]

can some one help me my giveaway bot is not working idk why ```
from re import A
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import datetime
import asyncio
import random
import time
#give away bot

TOKEN = "token"

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix ="!")

@bot.command()
@commands.has_role("Owner")
async def giveaway(ctx, minute : int, prize: str):
await ctx.message.delete()
embed = discord.Embed(title = "Giveaway!", description = f"{prize}", color = ctx.author.color)

end = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds = minute*60)

embed.add_field(name = "ends at:", value = f"{end}")
embed.set_footer(text = f"end {minute} minutes from now!")

my_msg = await ctx.send(embed = embed)

await my_msg.add_reaction("🎉")

await asyncio.sleep(minute)

new_msg = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(my_msg.id)

users = await new_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten()
users.pop(users.index(bot.user))


winner = random.choice(users)

await ctx.send("congratulations! {winner.mention} you won {prize}!")

bot.run("token")```

[fresh ferry]

nahh upwork but i did pay only like 20-30 usd for bot to be made

this is to stop racist comments being commit via a users custom status hence the banning of role

[dapper geyser]

bot dont whana count down so he just like starts the giveaway but dont goes down to 0 and no one wins

[robust fulcrum]

How can I make my bot send message when i click button?

[vocal snow]

assert guild.me.top_role > role
``` can you add this before you call remove_roles and make sure it doesn't raise AssertionError?

(for @fresh ferry )

[dapper geyser]

hey

bro

[cloud dawn]

Have you worked with views yet?

[dapper geyser]

i have a bot that delte racist comment if u want it

[gusty shard]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    await bot.process_commands(message)
    if len(message.content) > 2:
        id = str(message.author.id)
        await asyncio.sleep(delay=random.randint(1,6))
        data[id]['level'] += random.randint(1,5)
        with open("values.json", "w") as f:
            json.dump(data,f,indent=4)```

can somebody help me? i cant find where is the problem

[fresh ferry]

would you mind if i post my source via your dms and we could go from there ? just that im yoloing this with no knowledge of anything code lol

im making source of my bot public once it works properly so im not too fussed sharing source

[vocal snow]

Don't worry about that, just add the line right above where you see bot.remove_roles

[robust fulcrum]

Ye

[cloud dawn]

20-30 usd for a public sophisticated bot seems like a scam already, those aren't easy to create.

[dapper geyser]

hi

[slate swan]

@cloud dawn I understood the error

[cloud dawn]

What have you got so far/ what library are you using?

[dapper geyser]

can some one pls help me

[slate swan]

but I still don't know how to solve

[robust fulcrum]

Dpy 2.0

I made a button calculator

[cloud dawn]

Well me neither since I have no clue on how you register and sync the commands.

[cloud dawn]

Oh so existing code? Where are you stuck?

[robust fulcrum]

I want to send a message on button click

I know about editing but forgot about sending

[cloud dawn]

Well editing is also a response so you can just do x.send_message("Hey!")

[robust fulcrum]

Oh

[robust fulcrum]

Like this
await interection.send_message()

[cloud dawn]

await interaction.response.send_message("Hey!") full code

Missed an n

[vocal snow]

Yep, right above that line add assert member.guild.me.top_role > role

[robust fulcrum]

And how to send empherel messeg?

[cloud dawn]

I really don't like this code, it's not really efficient.

[cloud dawn]

await interaction.response.send_message("Psst, hey :wink:", ephemeral=True)

[vocal snow]

Yeah it's pretty poorly written

[robust fulcrum]

Thanks

[cloud dawn]

Uses a for loop on remove role but it also take lists 🤏

Api calls: 🚶

[fresh ferry]

honestly im split screening visual studio code and your message and i cant follow

[fresh ferry]

his crappy gig made me want to learn python, which im going to but i heard java is better for discord idk tho

[cloud dawn]

Aka if you were to put this bot public I'd suspect ratelimits, now I'm also wondering if it has autosharding or not.

[fresh ferry]

JavaScript*

[cloud dawn]

JavaScript are better in some aspects but Python has it's strengths as well.

JS is also much harder to learn/ jump into.

[fresh ferry]

yesterday i had ratelimit issues i had to figure out how to fix that.... it took 9 hours and stackflow to help

[cloud dawn]

Well yeah he basically putted a for loop on an api call. That's like spamming Discord messages for x amount of roles and expecting it to work.

[vocal snow]

See the await bot.remove_roles(role) line, put the assert line exactly above it

But then again it might be best to just scratch this code

[cloud dawn]

Pretty hard for a starter plus he spend money on it.

[vocal snow]

That is true

[fresh ferry]

yeah ima just yeet it all three sources... do you guys know anyone i can pay properly to rebuild my ideas... cause i need them asap for my server for moderation reasons :/

[cloud dawn]

I got some spare time tonight

I don't like people being scammed

[fresh ferry]

i dont wanna burden you, but i dont mind the help if given

[fresh ferry]

yeah i paid in usd and since covid thats 3 times my currency which what i paid i could have bought weeks worth of dinners 💀

[cloud dawn]

Yeah np besides, I've been active here for the past 1.5 years so not like I have anything better to do.

(Not true but I like coding ok lol)

[royal meteor]

embed = discord.Embed(...)

embed.add_field(name = "foo", value = "Value", inline = True)

if #some condition:
    #change the embed field value to "Value2"

How can I do this?

[fresh ferry]

hey, hopefully ill be here just as long cause trying to fix these problems has sparked my interest in wanting to learn py

but shall i direct message you ??

[cloud dawn]

Why not ```py
embed = discord.Embed(...)
if ???:
embed.add_field(name = "foo", value = "Value", inline = True)
else:
embed.add_field(name = "foo", value = "Value2", inline = True)

[cloud dawn]

Sure.

[royal meteor]

Yes ok thanks maybe i will just stick with that

[cloud dawn]

Or have a ternary

More complex

embed = discord.Embed(...)
embed.add_field(name="foo", value="Value" if ??? else "value2", inline=True)

@royal meteor If value is either None you could also use the or operator.

[dapper geyser]

panda can u pls help me at somthing

code too big fore discord ...

[cloud dawn]

"Works for me"? Did you copy it?

[dapper geyser]

yes

[cloud dawn]

I recommend starting off easier then.

[dapper geyser]

just found it and thougth why not just take it also in my bot but dont works fore me somhow

[vale wing]

🙃

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[dapper geyser]

i fixed it no error lemme try it if it works

[vale wing]

Why the hell do you have so many useless imports (and even duplicated ones)

Like I highly doubt you'd ever need setuptools for a discord bot

[dapper geyser]

to lazy to delte them tbh

i will make it later but it works so i dont really minde

[vale wing]

Just run import optimization in your ide (depends which one you use)

And evaluating math expressions with eval() isn't a good idea unless the possible values in a string are strictly limited

You'd better use some math parser

[royal meteor]

thanks

[vale wing]

!pypi strmath for example

[unkempt canyon]

strmath v1.1

A module for evaluating math expressions without eval()

[dapper geyser]

ye u right

but ot works so thanks bro 😄

[royal meteor]

How to fix this?

[paper sluice]

your bot did not respond to the interaction, there might be something wrong check the terminal for errors

[vale wing]

You may defer the response if it's taking more than 3 seconds to respond for bot

await inter.response.defer() in most of libs afaik

[royal meteor]

Ok thanks

[royal meteor]

Would this go before or after the

await interaction.response.send_message()```

[vale wing]

Before ofc

It basically sends "bot is thinking" message and when bot sends actual message, it removes "thinking" message

[royal meteor]

I still recieve the same message

[vale wing]

Then check for errors in console as @paper sluice said

[sick birch]

It may not necessarily be an error, something is taking more than 3 seconds. You should check to see what’s causing that. It’ll usually be something external, like an API or a database

[royal meteor]

Nothing appears in console other than what I printed myself

[royal meteor]

I'm not using any APIs or databases other than json files

[sick birch]

Yeah read/write to JSON files may potentially be taking more than 3 seconds

[royal meteor]

How can I make it bypass the 3 seconds?

[sick birch]

Defer the interaction before disk access, take as much time as you want, then send the actual response

[grim oar]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permissions to use this.

Examples

Usage...

[grim oar]

oldest_first=True

[royal meteor]

So do I use

await interaction.response.defer(ephemeral = True, thinking = True)``` 
at the start of the command?

[sick birch]

Right

[grim oar]

No lol

[royal meteor]

I tried that but now the application is stuck on Bot is thinking ... and not giving any response

[sick birch]

Can we see code?

You may just have some errors then

[royal meteor]

It is quite long

[slate swan]

message = bot.get_channel(1000852468743282788).get_partial_message(1002254511336857672)
await message.edit(embed=stats)

Why bot edit delete message e

And how can i fix

[winter gull]

i am trying to send a message in a specific channel and i used this

lb_channel = bot.get_channel(config["lb-channel-id"])

it is giving me None when i try to do

lb_channel.send(<some message>)

[slate swan]

is the channel Id correct

@winter gull

you should also probably await until the bots cache is ready

[winter gull]

alright i try awaiting

[slate swan]

send your whole code

[winter gull]

TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

[slate swan]

Send the code you used.

@winter gull Can I see the code for that command

[winter gull]

its a task

[slate swan]

that's why

[winter gull]

not a command

should i make it a global variable?

[slate swan]

before you assign lb_channel add await client.wait_until_ready()

[winter gull]

ow alright

[slate swan]

you're probably getting the NoneType error because the channel isn't in the bot's cache yet, thus adding the await will wait until it is

[winter gull]

alrr tysm

[slate swan]

Did it work?

[winter gull]

it workss

[slate swan]

Nice 😄

[winter gull]

yessss

[slate swan]

Can you provide more code

[cursive spindle]

how i can make a error handler only for on_cooldown

[slate swan]

Idk

[cursive spindle]

how i can return the CommandOnCooldown time to datetime?
You are on cooldown. Try again in 7199.07

[slate swan]

you just used the default cooldown thing ?

commands stop working on my bot, is there a new update?

i got no error on the bot

[cursive spindle]

yes

[slate swan]

from datetime import datetime
datetime.fromtimestamp(SECONDSVAR).strftime("%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M:%S")

I assume secondsvar is the seconds until cooldown is over

[cursive spindle]

@commands.cooldown(1,7200,commands.BucketType.user)

[slate swan]

you could also convert it to hours, minutes, seconds

datetime.timedelta(seconds=secondsvariable)

that arent any tutorials or videos that practise good practices, wont find any

just try some code out and ask for help here if you run into issues

you'll probably want to use a database though

Like mongodb

mongodb ew

Or any other database...

yes.

I like your asuna pfp

and I like you

I actually use json databases way to much

:pepeShy:

[slate swan]

😄

[slate swan]

omw to shoot u

[slate swan]

I find it harder to use json-based databases for no reason lmao

[slate swan]

I find it easier 😭

dictionaries suck, try relational DBs

or Google sheets

[slate swan]

csv database?

nah that's worse than json

@slate swan have you seen all of sao?

[whole sparrow]

whats the dsicord.py website that helps alot like its smt like vklotr.dev

idk

[slate swan]

I've only seen embed builders like- https://autocode.com/tools/discord/embed-builder/

that ones for js though, this one is py- https://cog-creators.github.io/discord-embed-sandbox/

this one does it too- https://leovoel.github.io/embed-visualizer/

@whole sparrow

[whole sparrow]

?

[silk fulcrum]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[whole sparrow]

Oo I didnt ask for embed builders I meant that there was this website that showed how to make a discord.py bot really well but I completely forgot the URL

[whole sparrow]

not that sadge

[silk fulcrum]

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/discordpy/

can be this

[whole sparrow]

nope

oooof sadge ill try to find it

i had it bookmarked idk wher eit went

[vale wing]

@whole sparrow https://vcokltfre.dev this?

[grizzled badger]

could anyone help me (pretty new to discord bots) make a bot respond to multiple messages abt the same thing

for example a higher or lower game where the user inputs higher or lower mulitple times

[silver reef]

the bot works fine but it keeps sending me a TimeoutError whenever the timeout hits 2.0 so i tried the code below to prevent that from happening but its not working any solution?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="f")
#________________________
@bot.listen()
async def on_ready():
    print("readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy")

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel
        try:
          msg = await bot.wait_for(
        'message', check=check, timeout =2.0)
        except TimeoutError:
          print("there was an error") #this line  is just testing                                           not the actual code
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

bot.run(my_secret)

[sick birch]

!d discord.Client.wait_for is your friend here

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

wait_for(event, /, *, check=None, timeout=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[silver reef]

btw thats part of my prblem above how to prevent the timeout error from happening?

[sick birch]

timeout is in seconds, so you have to respond within 2 seconds

[silver reef]

ye when i dont reply in 2 secs i want sth to happen

like the bot says "timeout " or sth

[sick birch]

So put that within the except block

[silver reef]

but it keeps giving me error in the console

[sick birch]

What's the error in console?

[silver reef]

raise exceptions.TimeoutError()
asyncio.exceptions.TimeoutError

[sick birch]

Full traceback please

[silk fulcrum]

he uses wrong Timeout

its asyncio.TimeoutError

not just TimeoutError

[grizzled badger]

so if it was in the on_message() function i would pick a number between 1-100 and then use discord.client.wait_for to get a new message from the user

[silver reef]

Ignoring exception in on_message

[sick birch]

Using a wait_for in an on message is kind of tricky, it's better to use it inside of a command

[silk fulcrum]

@silver reef in except

[silver reef]

ok ill try that

[grizzled badger]

welp the on_message() function is my safe space

i have no idea how to use anything else

[sick birch]

Good time to learn then

[grizzled badger]

yep

youtube here i come

[sick birch]

bad idea

[silk fulcrum]

youtube here is trash

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html this is better

[silk fulcrum]

even just read the docs is better

[snow trench]

guys how i can stop my bot from running

[silk fulcrum]

i know it's hard but try

[sick birch]

Close the application that's running it

[snow trench]

i just clicked the run button on vscode

[snow trench]

so vscode?

[sick birch]

Open the terminal, and you should be able to CTRL+C to terminate it

[silk fulcrum]

Ctrl + C in terminal

[silver reef]

now its giving me another error :

Ignoring exception in on_message

lol

[silver reef]

oh ok xd

[grizzled badger]

update my bot can say hello

[slate swan]

Why i cant repear process in 10 sec on on_rady event
Im tried with
But its dont work
time.sleep(10)

[silk fulcrum]

? what dont work?
what's your code, what you expected, and what happened?

[slate swan]

I puted
async def on_ready():
embed = discordEmbed(title...)
Message = bot get mess itd..
await message edit(embed=embed)
time.sleep(10)

And its didnt repeat event

[silk fulcrum]

of course it does not

it just does action when it starts up

and also there are a lot of syntax mistakes in this code

if it is the original one

[slate swan]

why does the embed continues?

[slate swan]

Yeye i know now ty im fixed

But i have problem with os

When u try to
gg = os.system("tps")
await ctx.send({gg})
Its dont work its send 256 but running process is 0

[slate swan]

time.sleep is blocking, use asyncio.sleep instead

[slate swan]

code..

its the normal code i used always but here

@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title='simple degenerate bot', color=0x2c2f33)
    embed.set_footer(text = f"Requested by {ctx.author.name}")
    embed.add_field(name='Server', value='**`serverinfo`, `members`, `banner`, `icon`, `setbanner`, `seticon`**', inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name='General', value='**`botinfo`, `userinfo`, `ping`, `ubanner`, `avatar`,**', inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name='Moderation', value='**`ban`, `kick`, `unban`, `massunban`,`purge`, `nuke`**', inline=False)
    await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)

did they update it sorry im slow

[silk fulcrum]

i dont see 32ms..... here

[slate swan]

me either

true here wait

@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(color=0x2c2f33, description=f'**`{int(client.latency * 1000)}ms....`**')
    embed.set_footer(text = f"Requested by {ctx.author.name}")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

what do you mean by 'embed continues'

look at the screenshot

[silk fulcrum]

like it's too long?

[slate swan]

yeah

[silk fulcrum]

empty space

[slate swan]

Looks like that's just default?

[silk fulcrum]

but i guess that's just the thing about an embed

if it does like that

[slate swan]

other bots dont do that

[silk fulcrum]

waht

[slate swan]

like the embed is so huge i dont get it

perhaps you need inline?

[silk fulcrum]

hm

[slate swan]

as u see there

it stops mine continues

[slate swan]

that's a link

[silk fulcrum]

but still embed

[slate swan]

?

because they embed differently

[slate swan]

Any who know?

[silk fulcrum]

bruh, python bot makes all embeds this same length

but in every case it looks natural at least

[slate swan]

I know what you mean, I'm pretty sure they embed differently on discord

<meta content="embed title" property=og:description>
Usually add embeds like that, in the html though

[grizzled badger]

how do i use the info (message content etc) from a wait_for() function?

[slate swan]

idk acc whats happening but all the embeds satrted looking longer

[slate swan]

is that for all?

[slate swan]

yeah

[silk fulcrum]

in wait_for() you give a check argument. which is a function, like wait_for('message', check=mycheck) and in a function you can use message object, like this:

def mycheck(message):
    return message.author = 'imstupid'```

that's a check

and if you want a message that was sent, after that wait_for

that is message = await bot.wait_for(...)

and u use message as usual

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def test(ctx) -> None:
    embed = discord.Embed()
    embed.add_field(name="Test Name", value="Test Value")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

idk if add fields are smaller than other embeds, you could try it though

[winter gull]

Is there anything I could do to make a leaderboards like structure in embeds?

[grizzled badger]

ty for help

[silver reef]

here is an exemple :

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

[silk fulcrum]

and some error like value in field is required occures

[slate swan]

that was just psuedocode...

you have to add the value and name to the field obviously

*edited..

[silk fulcrum]

and then some error like title in Embed definition is required occu.. ok ok ill stop now

[slate swan]

No it wouldn't

[silk fulcrum]

bruh

[slate swan]

Unfortunate

[silk fulcrum]

[indigo pilot]

Hey, how can i send files from my db in a message? Storeing the proxy url
https://i.leaked-your.info/lC3fAcj8 norm i would do something like this when the user is imputting them, but tnow its from the db so idk how lol

[cold sonnet]

I have a question

why do people screenshot something to upload on a website and copy paste the url here instead of screenshotting something and directly copy pasting here

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/')

welcome_channel = ""

@bot.event

@bot.command()

async def SetWelcome(ctx):
    await ctx.reply('Set welcome channel to ' + ctx.message.channel.name)
    welcome_channel = ctx.message.channel.id```

Events dont do anything

[indigo pilot]

Saves storage
easyily find screen shots

It automaticly uploads it to the website

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[indigo pilot]

All i need to do is do control shift 4
take the ss
and it copys the url to my clipboard

[glad cradle]

you need to call @bot.event for every new function's related to an event (just add @bot.event before async def on_member_join)

[slate swan]

and fix syntax

Syntax?

wait nvm

it was bugged on my screen

Oh yeah, it might look wierd, I'm used to c++

haven't done python in years

nah you're good

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/')

welcome_channel = ""

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(bot.user.name)
    print(bot.user.id)
    print('------')

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    if welcome_channel != "":
        await bot.send_message(welcome_channel, "Welcome to the server, {}!".format(member.mention))
        print("Welcome message sent to {}".format(welcome_channel))


@bot.command()
async def SetWelcome(ctx):
    await ctx.reply('Set welcome channel to ' + ctx.message.channel.name + "!\n")
    welcome_channel = ctx.message.channel.id```

@slate swan could you tell me what's the problem with the thing?

I was guessing it's that welcome_channel needs a name instead of an Id but that would be dumb

[tough lance]

Nani

There are many things wrong with that code

[slate swan]

That's not helpful, tell me what's wrong with it.

@tough lance

anyone how do I fix this for my bot

idfk, last time i used it was in 2019

or 20

i think i'm using discord 1.0? idk

Update it first.. there are already many breaking changes in api itself

[grizzled badger]

im using msg = bot.wait_for("message", check=check, timeout = None) but when i print msg it just shows info such as id and author

[surreal walrus]

no :{

[slate swan]

msg.content?

This shit is terrible, who invented discord 2.0

You printed its class representation not the actual message

[grizzled badger]

as in the variable name or the "message" part

[slate swan]

To get the content just use the .content attribute

[slate swan]

The one who invented Discord.py 1.0?

it was a joke, either way discord py 2.0 is weird

Well discord itself is much weird so cant expect any better

Nah

[grizzled badger]

ty for the help

[slate swan]

Js is not that wierd

nvm

Yall gotta help me with this shit:

[tough lance]

I suggest you read the docs before trying anything

[slate swan]

its from the docs

the example of the docs

[tough lance]

Where?

Send the link

[slate swan]

https://pypi.org/project/discord2/

[slate swan]

!e When you try to access a key from a dictionary and if it does not exist, you get a KeyError ```py
my_dict = {'foo': 1}
print(my_dict['bar'])

To suppress it, either use a try-except or use the `.get` method ```py
try:
    print(my_dict['bar'])
except KeyError:
    pass
# or
print(my_dict.get('bar'))

its discord2

[tough lance]

Yea not the official one

[slate swan]

fucking hell

which one's the real

[tough lance]

Discord 2.0 isn't even on pypi

[slate swan]

@surreal walrus Also that's some basic python you're expected to know if you're creating a discord bot. So prefer clearing your basic concepts first before jumping into advanced projects. Believe me it's more fun when you know what's actually going on

[tough lance]

You need to install manually from GitHub

[slate swan]

bruv

[slate swan]

Send me a link to the repo

It's not stable yet. The PyPi one still offers 1.7.3 (latest stable version)

i found it

[warped mirage]

Guys can someone help me code a set prefix command, multi guild, using txt

[sick birch]

What issues are you having? Could you provide any code/tracebacks?

[warped mirage]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
async def set_prefix(ctx):
    prefix = "!"
    file = "prefix.txt"
    if prefix == "!":
        await ctx.send("Prefix set to !")
    else:
        await file.read("prefix") 
       ``` i started but idk how to do it

[sick birch]

Override the get_prefix command of your bot subclass, and return the appropriate prefix for that guild

Keep in mind this is called every message so you'll want to implement some sort of caching

[winter gull]

Hello!!
I want to send a message in a specific channel which i am able to do with the get_channel attribute. And also edit the message which is also i am able to do with get_message method, i want something like when the bot runs it checks If the channel exists, if not it throws an error apart from that, when the message is sent i want to edit the message repetitive while getting the new data. I want opinions on this, one thing would be to use on_ready() command and do the same idrk what to do

[sick birch]

There's no such thing as get_message

[winter gull]

There is? I used it recently

[sick birch]

Could I see it?

[winter gull]

Like, bot.get_message(<Id>)

[sick birch]

Yeah that's not a thing

Well it was before v1.0 but I doubt anyone uses that anymore as it's incredibly outdated

[winter gull]

It is ig renamed to fetch_message

[sick birch]

Not just renamed, the functionality is completely different

It makes an API request, instead of just getting from the cache

And I don't believe you need to fetch_message just to edit a message

[winter gull]

Oh

[sick birch]

You can use the message returned from the send()

msg = await bot.get_channel(...).send(...)
await msg.edit(...)

[winter gull]

Ahh

Can I like use this as an argument for another function too?

[sick birch]

Use the returned message from send()?

[winter gull]

Oh yes hmm

I'll think abt it, tysmm

Also uhh i was reading the docs and came across creat_guild() so i had a doubt, does it like create a guild? If so will the bot be the owner?

[sick birch]

Right:

async def edit_message(message: discord.Message, content: str) -> None:
  await message.edit(content=content)

@bot.command()
async def my_command(ctx: commands.Context) -> None:
  message = await ctx.send("This message is about to be edited")
  await asyncio.sleep(5) # wait 5 seconds
  await edit_message(message, "This message has now been edited!")

[winter gull]

Ow

Tyyyy!!
