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.

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.

    if "ZombieMaster" or "Zombie Master" in message.content.casefold():
        await message.add_reaction(bot.get_emoji(1002849640040906762))

am i missing something, why does this shoot up a reaction on every message regardless of context?

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

# Incorrect...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

swift pumice
#

what

silk fulcrum
#

you even said that you accidentaly didnt remove it

#

but it's still here

slate swan
#

await member.add_roles(role)

swift pumice
#

so i left it like that

#

i was unsure

silk fulcrum
#

bruh

swift pumice
silk fulcrum
#

payload.member

#

you need a member object

#

but you dont have it yet

#

so payload.member

shrewd apex
swift pumice
#

so payload.member.add_roles?

slate swan
# 
if role is not None:
            member = payload.member
            if member is not None:
                await member.add_roles(role)```

#

idk if its pycord but i never heard of anything called slash.slash lemme check the docs

swift pumice
shrewd apex

:lemaoX776:

swift pumice

payload.roles

silk fulcrum

#

hangman starts

shrewd apex

#

u prolly opened dpy docs to the future

#

u use guild_id fetch the guild then get all the roles

swift pumice
#

😔

silk fulcrum

@bot.command(name='getpfp')
async def getpfp(ctx, member: Member = None):
    if not member:

can't seem to get this to work, anyone can spot the issue?

silk fulcrum
#

nothing

silk fulcrum
swift pumice
#

ill just look up a yt vid

#

thanks for the help

silk fulcrum
#

instead of that if thing

shrewd apex
silk fulcrum
#

^^

slate swan
#

i think i use 1.7.3? not sure how to check

silk fulcrum
#

pip show discord

native maple
#

yeah

silk fulcrum
native maple
#

no no just discord

silk fulcrum
#

or py import discord print(discord.__version__) in code

slate swan
#

Yeah, 1.7.3

silk fulcrum
#

weird

slate swan
#

yeah it was working for me last 15 minutes ago and it stopped working now

silk fulcrum
#

did you import Member from discord?

native maple
#

im pretty sure its member.display_avatar_url

silk fulcrum
#

its 1.7.3

native maple
#

aah okay

slate swan
#

That doesn't work, And yeah i did import member from discord, otherwise it'll throw a giant error, sadly it doesn't throw any errors when i throw that command.

silk fulcrum
#

in 2.0, it would be avatar.url

native maple
#

ah yes yes

#

i made that long time back 😂

silk fulcrum
#

or just printing something to make sure that command runs

#

maybe that's on_message problem lol

slate swan
#

Tried that before coming here as well

silk fulcrum
#

do u have on_message event?

native maple
#

do member.display_avatar

slate swan
#

i do in a different function, but i don't think that matters? since that has been there for a while and it was there when it was working

native maple
#

on_message isnt required for getting the pfp of a user

shrewd apex
native maple
#

first update to 2.0 😩

#

oh yeah keep forgetting 😔

#

update to 2.0 ma guy 😩

silk fulcrum
#

that doesnt matter

native maple
#

1.7.3 is getting depricated by this august end

silk fulcrum
silk fulcrum
#

then it probably does

slate swan

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return
    if "zombiemaster" in message.content.lower().replace(" ", ""):
        await message.add_reaction(bot.get_emoji(1002849640040906762))
    if "fuckyou@tall elk" in message.content.lower().replace(" ", ""):
        await message.reply("Silence Wench.", mention_author=False)
    if "shutup@tall elk" in message.content.lower().replace(" ", ""):
        await message.reply("No YOU shut up.", mention_author=False)
native maple
#

on_message is no where near this

silk fulcrum
#

i dont see bot.proccess_commands

#

await bot.process_commands(message)

native maple
#

oh you're coming to that.... :hmm:

vale wing
#

Also use elif and you can bring message.content.lower().replace(" ", "") into a variable not to do the same operation multiple times

silk fulcrum
#

too hard

slate swan
silk fulcrum
slate swan
#

i knew i forgot something hnnnnnnnnnnnnng

#

yes you are finally

unknown.png
silk fulcrum
#

okay im lazy to find the message about Why on_message stops my commands from working

silk fulcrum
# vale wing Checking for mentions like this isn't a good idea, use `message.mentions`

can u scan my code like that? just making sure if i did everything correct ```py
def init(self, host, user, password, database, *, initial_tables: list = None, load_right_away: bool = True):
super().init(
host=host,
user=user,
password=password,
database=database,
raise_on_warnings=True,
)

    self.database = database
    self.initial_tables = initial_tables or list()

    if load_right_away:
        self.load_initial_tables()```
#

oh wait its not related to discord... but it's in my bot's code anyways!

vale wing
#

Personally I would use or [] but that doesn't really matter, the code seems ok

silk fulcrum
#

nice tool :lmao:

#

well pycharm probably does the same

#

but he doesnt notice some things

shrewd apex
silk fulcrum
shrewd apex
#

are the host user pass and all constant?

silk fulcrum
#

i get them from config

#

config.toml to be precise

shrewd apex
#

put those in an env file and use os.getenv('HOST')

#

instead of passing all those as parameters

silk fulcrum
#

why this is better

shrewd apex
#

looks cleaner thats it

So I've got a discord bot with discord.py, I even sync it with await tree.sync(guild = discord.Object(id=GuID)), however it still doesn't show up in my server. What common mistakes might be there that I'm not aware of?

vale wing
#

I'd say env vars are possible to use in case you can't use a file, eg. posting source code to github. You could pull the changes on the VPS and restart/update the bot automatically but if you wanted to automate that process with a workflow, you couldn't use any files unlisted in repo. Instead you could setup runner secrets and parse them as env vars

silk fulcrum
warm trail
#

add what?

silk fulcrum
#

bot

#

on the server

warm trail
#

no I did

silk fulcrum
#

oauth...

#

ok then no idea

warm trail
#

it has the register slash commands or whatever it's called, but not the send messages, is that a problem?

silk fulcrum
#

you invited it with enabling application commands in oauth?

#

or... it's called something different

#

applications.commands

slate swan
#

or it's missing the scope as mentioned

warm trail
#

does it need the send messages permission if it has the applications.commands already enabled?

slate swan
#

no you dont require it necessarily

silk fulcrum
#

admin permission is the easiest way

slate swan
#

bad practice

warm trail
#

yeah

#

never heard of least privilege?

silk fulcrum
#

ever heard

warm trail
#

does it need the perm or not?

slate swan
warm trail
#

I don't get this the commands still don't sync.

# 
class client(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(intents = discord.Intents.default())
        self.synced = False

        await self.wait_until_ready()
        if not self.synced:
            await tree.sync(guild = discord.Object(id=GuID))
            self.synced = True
            print("Synced.")
#

I get the synced message, but the commands still don't show up. I have the bot and the applications.commands oauth scopes and the send message permission enabled. The bot is up and is in my server.

slate swan
#

use a setup_hook, just rename on_ready to setup_hook

#

and remove self.wait_until_ready line

warm trail
# slate swan dont sync in on_ready

I removed it, this is how the log looks now:

Hello guys, I am kinda stuck with this problem. I have a bot that's been working fine for the most part except for the task that runs every hour.

Hello! I wanted to create a date base for my bot, as a result I get an error:
base.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {}(userid INT, coin INT)'.format(id))
sqlite3.OperationalError: near "796504104565211187": syntax error

The id of the server where the message was sent from is written in quotes

Here is the complete code:```py
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
id = message.guild.id

#the error points to this line
base.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {}(userid INT, coin INT)'.format(id))
base.commit()

count = cur.execute('SELECT * FROM {} WHERE userid == ?'.format(id),(message.author.id,)).fetchone()

if count == None:
    cur.execute('INSERT INTO {} VALUES(?, ?)'.format(id),(message.author.id,1))
    base.commit()
    print('{message.author}({message.author.id}) received 1 coin')

elif count[1] >= 0:
    cur.execute('UPDATE {} SET coin == ? WHERE userid == ?'.format(id),(count+1,message.author.id))
    base.commit()
    print('{message.author}({message.author.id}) got {count}+1 coins')```

There are no errors in the console```py

base = sqlite3.connect('databot.db')
cur = base.cursor()

btw wot is this ?

you should never dynamically create tables like that

#

ok

thx

you want the user's money to be different in every guild?

#

yes

#

one table

vocal snow
#

you should have one table, with a user_id field, guild_id field and the other data you need to store, and then have a UNIQUE constraint on user_id and guild_id

#

and some autoincrementing primary key

Timestamp markdown is an internationalized way of displaying times/dates. The information is rendered according to the user's timezone and locale. You can find Unix timestamps here: https://www.unixtimestamp.com/, Unix timestamps are what we use for timestamp markdown.

Usage: <t:unix_timestamp:format>

Formats
| Style | Example Output | Description |
| t | 16:20 | Short Time |
| T | 16:20:30 | Long Time |
| d | 20/04/2021 | Short Date |
| D | 20 April 2021 | Long Date |
| f | 20 April 2021 16:20 | Short Date/Time |
| F | Tuesday, 20 April 2021 16:20 | Long Date/Time |
| R | 2 months ago | Relative Time |

discord.on\_raw\_message\_delete 

discord.on_raw_message_delete(payload)```
Called when a message is deleted. Unlike [`on_message_delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_message_delete "discord.on_message_delete"), this is called regardless of the message being in the internal message cache or not.

If the message is found in the message cache, it can be accessed via [`RawMessageDeleteEvent.cached_message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.RawMessageDeleteEvent.cached_message "discord.RawMessageDeleteEvent.cached_message")

This requires [`Intents.messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.messages "discord.Intents.messages") to be enabled.

If you have Intents.default() as intents the messages is already included so it can be happening only if you didn't parse any intents at all

This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

okay, another question. How can I convert string to a certain amount of time. like for example, when I type "1h" it should convert to 3600 seconds

do i have to get the obj tho?

wicked atlas
#

then you attach the file to the message, and then use ``attachment://filename` to access it

cursive musk
#

when i wont send it?

cursive musk
wicked atlas
#

It won't

#

try it

cursive musk
#

alright thanks i will try it

wicked atlas
cursive musk
#

this is not what i meant

wicked atlas
#

What code do you have?

slate swan
#

What code did you use

cursive musk
wicked atlas
#

temp/ is not part of the filename

cursive musk
#

i need to get it from a folder

#

called temp

wicked atlas
#

Yes, but when it's an attachment to your message, it's not in a folder

cursive musk
#

so {}gen.png?

wicked atlas
#

the attachment::// isn't referenceing the file on your computer

#

yes

slate swan
#

also you should probably use f strings instead of format, they're faster

cursive musk
#

okay i will do that then instead

#

of and what is the max width and height from a discord.Embed.image?

wicked atlas
#

I don't think there's a max size, discord just scales the image

slate swan
#

Yeah

wicked atlas
#

you can upload 4k images to discord but it'll look the same in the client as a 720p image (if it loads)

cursive musk
#

i mean like

#

the size of a picture

slate swan
cursive musk
#

like
width = 69
height = 120

#

what is the max?

slate swan
#

I am pretty sure discord will automatically scale it down if it's too big

cursive musk
#

oh

wicked atlas
#

Yeah, there's no max size specified anywhere

cursive musk
#

okay then

@left raptor, this makes sure that your bot is either already connected to the voice channel you want, and if not, connects to it

voice_channel: None | discord.,VoiceChannel

sick birch

As the whole point is to get a concrete voice client regardless of it's status before

The correct typehint is None | discord.VoiceChannel

ok found it thanks

sick birch
#

That's the current syntax to typehint

slate swan
#

!typehint

unkempt canyonBOT
#

Type Hints

A type hint indicates what type a variable is expected to be.

def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

The type hints indicate that for our add function the parameters a and b should be integers, and the function should return an integer when called.

It's important to note these are just hints and are not enforced at runtime.

add("hello ", "world")

The above code won't error even though it doesn't follow the function's type hints; the two strings will be concatenated as normal.

Third party tools like mypy can validate your code to ensure it is type hinted correctly. This can help you identify potentially buggy code, for example it would error on the second example as our add function is not intended to concatenate strings.

mypy's documentation contains useful information on type hinting, and for more information check out this documentation page.

nooo that would leak my bot token and Captcha token

Just need to see the structure of the file

Looks like some things are missing, you're sure that's all of it?

yea thats the setting.json it was working before

it says in the error that its in main.py

just gonna code block it for ease

just so i can screen share

I would rather keep it here, sorry

is kind of strange to me, you're sure there's only 1 item in there?

slate swan

yea there is 1 item there

sick birch
#

And the extra space underneath it is there?

sick birch
slate swan
#

so its the settings.json?

sick birch
#

Yeah, hence the JSONDecodeError

#

Python can't figure out how to parse the JSON file into a dict, so it's throwing that error

But the JSON looks valid, unless something's missing

nothings missing leme try to paste your new one you sent

ahhh so nothing is different about it?

Nope

Hmm so what do you think i can do to fix it

sick birch
# 
    "botAdminId": [

is the extra space under the "" there in your file?

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**...

@slate swan looks like you can't have trailing commas

slate swan
sick birch
#

For example this is not valid:

{
  "some list": [
    "a value", <---- can't do this
  ]
}

this is valid:

{
  "some list": [
    "a value" <---- see how there's no comma?
  ]
}
slate swan

OOooo i get it so like this maybe?

sick birch

This only applies to the last element, by the way

{
"capmonsterKey": ""
"botToken": ""
"guildID": [ ""
""]
"botAdminId": [
""
],
"botWhitelistedId": [

so like that? see how there is none of these ,

    "item2" <----- no comma since last element

also appreciate you for helping

sick birch
slate swan
sick birch
#

only the last items in a list can't have commas

sick birch
left raptor
#

I guess I just don't understand why I can't do this

voice_channel = get_channel(my_channel_id_number)
if bot is in voice channel:
   voice_channel.play(my_audio_file)```
sick birch
#

so basically

list = ["item1", "item2", "item3"]
                                 ^ no comma here (this is the trailing comma if there was)
left raptor
#

like this always returns None

discord.utils.get(bot.voice_clients, guild=guild)```
because bot.voice_clients returns None
slate swan
sick birch
# 
list = ["item1", "item2", "item3", ]
                                 ^ ❌
sick birch
slate swan
#

running it hopefully fixed it

left raptor
#

but if I know the voice channel id number, why do I need bot.voice_clients, why can't I just pass the channel to this utils.get() function directly

slate swan
#

ahhh it didn't fix it man i think im just breaking it even more this is frustrating

slate swan
sick birch
#

Well no, that was just an example

slate swan
#

are you sure its a settings.json issue?

sick birch
#

Yes

#

JSON hates trailing commas, vscode would usually tell you where it is but I'm guessing you aren't using it

slate swan
#

this must be such a simple fix to a good coder

#

nah im using uhh replix

#

It's 2 characters that need to be removed, but I'd rather have you get there yourself so you know how to fix them

# 
  "botAdminId": [
        "",
    ],
    "botWhitelistedId": [
        "",

i see 2 trailing commas here, which are the problem

slate swan
#

Yea but those have tokens and ids in them aren't they suppose to have trailing commas

sick birch
#

Regardless of what's in them, trailing commas are invalid JSON

# 
  "botAdminId": [

    "botWhitelistedId": [
        "", <---- needs to go ❌

slate swan

whats a good website i can use like replit

slate swan
sick birch
#

VSCode, Pycharm, vim, emacs

sick birch
# slate swan How so?

Replit's machines are underpowered, so they can have a supercomputer and let potentially hundreds of people use it at once

slate swan
#

Godam

sick birch

Bottom line is you're not the only one using that replit host machine

slate swan

so vscode is a website or you talking about the app

sick birch

The app

slate swan
#

its a private one i paid for though

sick birch
#

Are you on the hacker plan?

slate swan
#

so nobody can access it

sick birch
#

Pretty sure you still share the machine itself with other people

#

It's not about someone else accessing your specific repl

#

It'd be a huge waste if replit gave one machine to each person

#

Good thing is, vscode is completely free & open source so you don't have to deal with replit anymore

unkempt canyonBOT
#

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

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

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.
