i want user get +10 after every 60 secconds but this run every time and add 60 yo user , how can i achive 1st

should i go with @vale junco ?

[sick birch]

You might be looking for the discord.ext.tasks extension

[limber bison]

it gives on_message funtion ?

[sick birch]

Sorry?

[limber bison]

like if user type something only then he gets money

this think

!discord.ext.tasks

[sick birch]

Hmmm

So once a user types something, they start getting money every 60 seconds?

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

class discord.ext.tasks.Loop```
A background task helper that abstracts the loop and reconnection logic for you.

The main interface to create this is through [`loop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop "discord.ext.tasks.loop").

[tranquil sparrow]

how feasible would making an image detection bot be for someone who is relatively new to python and discord.py?

[slate swan]

How can i make my bot 24 / 7

[limber bison]

 @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    
    # @commands.has_role()
    async def on_message(self , message):
        if message.author.id == 990358952632021043:
            return
        
        await economy.update_one({"id": message.author.id}, {"$inc": {"PAODs": +10}})```
is this correct ?

5 sec is for testing

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html see here for how to make a basic task loop

[paper sluice]

if you are new to python, you should focus on learning python, making discord bots is not a very beginner friendly project

[slate swan]

why would you even want that

That makes no sense

[slate swan]

What im gonna do?

i never was on digital ocean site and found it

[slate swan]

Im gonna go to sleep quick

[silk fulcrum]

transfer it there, there will be full explanation

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Deprecated since version 3.8, removed in version 3.10: The `loop` parameter. This function has been implicitly getting the current running loop since 3.7. See [What’s New in 3.10’s Removed section](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#whatsnew310-removed) for more information.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[silk fulcrum]

that's not a cooldown, but then sleep func ^^

[silk fulcrum]

why do u need that

[slate swan]

To know what time you're active

Running out of time

[silk fulcrum]

im UTC+3

[slate swan]

Idk that

[silk fulcrum]

uhm...

then how would've you known my active time?

[slate swan]

oof

[silk fulcrum]

well im active almost the whole day (7 AM to 9:30 PM)

in my tz

[limber bison]

it will a per user sleep ?\

[silk fulcrum]

wtf is peruser sleep

u just respond to that user and that's it

[limber bison]

 @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self , message):
        asyncio.sleep(10)
        if message.author.id == 990358952632021043:
            return
        
        await economy.update_one({"id": message.author.id}, {"$inc": {"PAODs": +10}})```

[silk fulcrum]

first you didn't await it

[limber bison]

done

[silk fulcrum]

second you'll get that it will add 10 smth only after 10 secs

i guess you want to give 10 of smth in your economy if user speaks for 10 seconds?

[limber bison]

ohh i want the on_message its self call after 10 sec

if it called before

[silk fulcrum]

bruh accidental enter

[limber bison]

ok i explain what i want u suggest me the correct way

like if a user type something in my chat he get 10 somthin , then second time if he types within a 1 min he gets nothing but after 1 min agin he get 10 somthing 😳

[cloud dawn]

!customcooldown

[unkempt canyon]

Cooldowns in discord.py

Cooldowns can be used in discord.py to rate-limit. In this example, we're using it in an on_message.

from discord.ext import commands

message_cooldown = commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1.0, 60.0, commands.BucketType.user)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    bucket = message_cooldown.get_bucket(message)
    retry_after = bucket.update_rate_limit()
    if retry_after:
        await message.channel.send(f"Slow down! Try again in {retry_after} seconds.")
    else:
        await message.channel.send("Not ratelimited!")

from_cooldown takes the amount of update_rate_limit()s needed to trigger the cooldown, the time in which the cooldown is triggered, and a BucketType.

[silk fulcrum]

wow im stupid

[limber bison]

no no i want your approch too

[silk fulcrum]

that is actually a thing here

[limber bison]

pls

[silk fulcrum]

i was typing this:

in __init__ of your cog add self.last_call = dict(), in on_message do ```py
author_id = message.author.id
if author_id == 990358952632021043:
return

    now = discord.utils.utcnow().timestamp()
    
    try:
        if now - self.last_call[author_id] < 60:
            return
    except KeyError:
        pass

    await economy.update_one({"id": author_id}, {"$inc": {"PAODs": +10}})
    self.last_call[author_id] = now

but that one is much better

[limber bison]

ohhh got cha , 💙

[cloud dawn]

Also better to disallow bots to enter this economy.

[silk fulcrum]

im not even sure if this works, and if so, the dict thing is trash

how about partnership :lmfaoo:

[limber bison]

its like reword for chat 🤔 and they can do so may stuff with this

[cosmic comet]

sure but lmao u believed me oof meme material

[vocal snow]

why do you want bots to earn money? It's not like they can spend it... you'll just be wasting storage

[silk fulcrum]

you believed that I believed? i cant believe lmao

[limber bison]

no no the user will get money not bot 😂

[limber bison]

@vocal snow

[tidal hawk]

But other bots? (you've only blocked your bot) @limber bison

[vocal snow]

you know on_message also triggers when a bot sends a message

[silk fulcrum]

that id is your bot's id right?

[cosmic comet]

hmm that was big brain move! i appreciate that

aight lets work now!

[limber bison]

i ignored it , see code 🤔

[cosmic comet]

so whats cooking up here?

[limber bison]

yes yes

the id thing

[vocal snow]

that only ignoring your bot. Not other bots,

by helping someone?

you guys are legit trolling the human

[rose pelican]

Go || fuck || everyone i just need || fucking || help!

[silk fulcrum]

we aren't machines, so why would we do so?

[silk fulcrum]

ok, look, without any jokes. go to app store and download an ide for python and app called termux

[rose pelican]

Then?

[silk fulcrum]

if you don't know what ide, then ill find

[grim oar]

termux of playstore/appstore doesn't work

[silk fulcrum]

yes? bruh

[rose pelican]

It work 😂

Joking 😂

[grim oar]

The base package download never does

[slate swan]

@rose pelican if you want to start your bot development journey you must learn basic python, resources has allot of good courses for that matter! Then you must learn pythons OOP and just get the hang of it, https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-osiE80TeTsqhIuOqKhwlXsIBIdSeYtc is a good source for learning that and then you can learn disnake or nextcord, which are library to make bots with python, from here https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/, if youre on mobile you would use something like replit or even better get on your pc and you could use something like visual studio code!

okimii's such a cutie

[slate swan]

machines dont troll either

[round knoll]

hello, i was wondering how to add the user name that i am giving and removing the role from, using an f string in the print statement, what method do i use and which parameter do i use (before,after)

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    print("----------ZeddyBot is checking for roles----------")
    if any(a for a in after.activities if a.type == discord.ActivityType.streaming):
        if LIVE_ROLE_ID in after._roles:
            return
        else:
            print("----------Giving LIVE Role----------")
            await after.add_roles(after.guild.get_role(LIVE_ROLE_ID))

    else:
        if LIVE_ROLE_ID in after._roles:
            print("----------Removing LIVE Role----------")
            await after.remove_roles(after.guild.get_role(LIVE_ROLE_ID))

[silk fulcrum]

imagine what was in all minds in this channel (this means my mind)

[slate swan]

iirc before and after return member objects

!d discord.Member.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.name

property name```
Equivalent to [`User.name`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.name "discord.User.name")

[slate swan]

** **

[round knoll]

so before.name should work?

[slate swan]

ashley just know that maybe lemon is always watching, especially you

[slate swan]

after!

[silk fulcrum]

nome(

wait no, you!

he's wathcing you cus you're too good and too cute

[slate swan]

its quite funny putting a bit of terror in ash

[round knoll]

oh ok, lemme try that. thanks

[slate swan]

dont care

lol

[silk fulcrum]

gtg, bye! went offline

[slate swan]

👋

[austere vale]

how do you make it so that bot commands only work when typed in certain channels?

[sick birch]

You can either add a check or a simple if statement

[austere vale]

do i have to do that to every single command ?

[sick birch]

If you do a check, no. If you use an if statement, yes

Your check is reusable and you can just add a quick decorator so it works anywhere

[austere vale]

can you give an example?

[sick birch]

Sure, hang on a sec

def is_in_general():
  """ A check that only works if the channel is the #general channel (ID: 12345) """
  async def predicate(ctx: commands.Context) -> bool:
    return ctx.channel.id == 12345 # this will be whatever your channel ID is
  return commands.check(predicate)

@bot.command()
@is_in_general() # this is important 
async def my_command_1(ctx: commands.Context, ...) -> None:
  """ This command only works in the #general channel """
  ...

@bot.command()
@is_in_general() # notice how we repeated it again?
async def my_command_2(ctx: commands.Context, ...) -> None:
  """ This command will also only work in the #general channel """
  ...

@bot.command()
# nothing here, just a regular old command.
async def my_command_3(ctx: commands.Context, ...) -> None:
  """ This command works in any channel """
  ...

@austere vale

[slate swan]

cant you just use a global check?

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

@check```
A decorator that adds a global check to the bot.

A global check is similar to a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every command the bot has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check"), this takes a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") and can only raise exceptions inherited from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError").

Example...

[sick birch]

I'm guessing they only want certain commands to work in certain channels

[austere vale]

oh no i meant all commands-

[sick birch]

Then yeah, go for a global check

[slate swan]

yeah then my case is the most suiting

[austere vale]

ohh okay thank youu

[sick birch]

An example of a global check:

@bot.check
async def is_in_general(ctx: commands.Context) -> bool:
  return ctx.channel.id == 12345

easy as that

[slate swan]

==*

[vocal snow]

Such a pedant

[slate swan]

using a decorator 😔

[silk fulcrum]

they want it for all comands😔

[slate swan]

hes using the wrong operators so no

[slate swan]

no i mean 😔 bot.check = func just 'cause yes

[silk fulcrum]

oh wait, nononoo im gone im gone

[vocal snow]

Don't you have code jam to do

[austere vale]

if i want to add multiple channels, do i make it into an array

[slate swan]

yeah you left a while ago, we'll catch up with your inexistence shortly

[slate swan]

do you have a problem with my presence?

[silk fulcrum]

you're too cute, he can't keep up i guess

[slate swan]

use the in keyword then and you can just make any iterable

[slate swan]

waht

[grim oar]

Don't you have an exam zeffo

I am real

[slate swan]

I don't think I will, no

[slate swan]

yeah my fault

[slate swan]

why not, free money

[slate swan]

add a comma after 789 😔 that ain't a tuple

what

[slate swan]

never said it was

[vocal snow]

Use a set!!

[slate swan]

let's use you

I would rather go play gacha

is a tuple lol

[vocal snow]

Ashley,

[slate swan]

I have double thoughts on how does python even work

okay that worked, that you so much

[vocal snow]

Use a set though because O(1)

then

looks like a tuple is faster

[slate swan]

mhm cool

[sick birch]

tf is going on

[slate swan]

Robin checking logs

you guys should go to sleep

[grim oar]

Tuple is faster cause you picked the first element, pick something far deeper @sick birch

[slate swan]

** — Today at 1:42 PM** utc -4 moment

[silk fulcrum]

why, it's only 9PM

[slate swan]

dont care

[vocal snow]

Yes and with more elements!!

[sick birch]

don't think that matters

[grim oar]

It does lol

[vocal snow]

Atleast 52 million thousand hundred ids

[slate swan]

who in the hell would do that

[sick birch]

!timeit

[sick birch]

!timeit

[grim oar]

More bruh.

[vocal snow]

Do you want to see question

[sick birch]

almost the same as last time

[grim oar]

More elements, face palm.

[slate swan]

im pretty sure in gets O(n) on its worse case guys

calm down with the more elements

[sour turret]

hey, how can i open images from discord messages with Pillow?

i want to be able to write a command (not a slash), attach an image to the message with the command and open this image using Pillow. there is no single suggestion how to implement it...

[grim oar]

^^

[sick birch]

If our tuple had hundreds of elements, then yeah the set would be faster

[slate swan]

hehe time comps go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[slate swan]

ok

[sick birch]

but with relatively few items in the tuple it should be faster

[grim oar]

Yes.

Yes

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message. If Intents.message_content is not enabled this will always be an empty list unless the bot is mentioned or the message is a direct message.

[vocal snow]

ctx.message.attachments for eg

[sour turret]

thank you

[vocal snow]

You can put it in a BytesIO and pass that to PIL.Image.open or whatever

[sick birch]

!timeit

my_set = set(range(1, 10000))
print(50 in my_set)

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 timeit job has completed with return code 0.

1000 loops, best of 5: 319 usec per loop

[slate swan]

rule 7

[sick birch]

yeah i'm gonna go do some local testing lol

Might have to given how range works

[slate swan]

never that set does unpack everything lmfao

[vocal snow]

What did I just read !

[slate swan]

ik just me being an idiot

[vocal snow]

Oh ok

[sick birch]

do you mean like {*range(1,10000)}?

[slate swan]

yeah, but forget it lmfao, the classes already unpacks the iterable lol

[grim oar]

set, list and tuple all run generators till end

[slate swan]

nova going god mode

[sick birch]

Not sure if this is the right way to test because range is lazy, so using in lookups are incredibly fast, no matter the size

[grim oar]

I sleep goodnight

[slate swan]

wdym by lazy lol

[vocal snow]

When we are watching spirited away

[slate swan]

good night you bean

[sick birch]

Like 5 in range(1, 10) would not actually do 5 in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...], but it would check if 5 is between the 2 endpoints (1 and 10)

[silk fulcrum]

me2 then

bye

[vocal snow]

casting the range to a list would fix that

[sick birch]

The implementation for range is actually really cool as it does some really nice optimizations

[slate swan]

you mean it wont check each element the generator provides?

[sick birch]

No, it just checks if 5 > 1 and 5 < 10

[slate swan]

,

[slate swan]

oh🗿

[sick birch]

Even with a range with billions of numbers, it's blazing fast since it's basic arithmetic

[slate swan]

yeah its way better over checking each element and if its the same lol

[sick birch]

looks like the range object is implemented in C 😬

[slate swan]

🤔

I'll go look at RustPython and see if the implementation is more readable

[scarlet aurora]

can someone help?

[slate swan]

rustpython as the implementation of python in rust?

[slate swan]

@scarlet aurora

[sick birch]

right

[slate swan]

thats kinda cool lol

[sick birch]

i can't read C to save my life 😦

[slate swan]

[sick birch]

https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython/blob/main/vm/src/builtins/range.rs found it

[scarlet aurora]

ty

@slate swan

[alpine swan]

new to discord.py, there are so few actual examples I'm finding on a cursory google, everything says how to respond to a message, cant find how to just send a message to a channel, tried discord.Message().channel('bot-messages').send(self.index) but documentation isnt helpful on parameters for classes and message requires parameters, dunno why that isnt part of the documentation...

[slate swan]

👍

java is cleaner than rust

👉 🚪

[slate swan]

you require a VoiceChannel (2.0^) or a TextChannel object or a NewsChannel object, etc. to send messages, you can get those through the discord.Client.get_channel(channel_id) method where channel_id is the channel id and the type is an integer

[sick birch]

https://github.com/jython/jython/blob/master/src/org/python/core/PyXRange.java i think this is it

[slate swan]

Yeah I surely like Java, cleaner

what.........

[alpine swan]

ok, any good places I should look to get information on patterns/concepts like this? thanks a bunch

[sick birch]

The examples are fantastic

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples

[slate swan]

if you wanna learn python with OOP then -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDa-Z5JzLYM

[alpine swan]

ah I dont need python help, just understanding how to use discord.py, think the examples will help, the examples i've seen are just like "heres how to respond to someones message" which is great, since you already have a handle on the message which includes the channel

but after that the documentation makes you feel like, welp you know how to do everything with discord.py >.<

any insight why they might not describe the parameters to create discord models? developers not supposed to instantiate them?

[sick birch]

Right, you're not supposed to create them

[alpine swan]

just interact with the objects that the client is connected to got it, think the examples will set me up then thanks

[alpine swan]

mmm what if a bot is listening/posting to specific channels does the bot:
A) create the channels if they dont exist? (there a way to only allow permissions to create specific channels?)
B) expect admins to create the appropriate channels and not do anything if they dont exist
if it's A what's to limit a malicious bot that doesnt create hundreds of channels?

[silent portal]

Yo, I was wondering if there's a display_banner function aswell? Why's there a display_avatar and avatar but not a display_banner and just banner?

[alpine swan]

what class is display_avatar under?

[slate swan]

rust is safer and faster, thanks

[slate swan]

It's a property of User and Member object which returns an Asset object

[slate swan]

sadly no, there's also a limitation that you would have to fetch a user every time you want to check it's banner

[silent portal]

I don't get it. Why's that?

Wasting requests

[slate swan]

I dont even care about comparing languages at this point

[alpine swan]

what documentation is this in? cant find it -.-

[slate swan]

it's in the latest branch

!d discord.Member.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.display\_avatar

property display_avatar```
Returns the member’s display avatar.

For regular members this is just their avatar, but if they have a guild specific avatar then that is returned instead.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

well, discord API design

[slate swan]

sleep

ashley your a genius right

[slate swan]

ew whats that plus it's too early and i havent made dinner

[alpine swan]

ah ok, thanks

[slate swan]

can you make files as an option type for slash commands in discord.py?

[silk fulcrum]

no, okimii is

[slate swan]

okimii didn't know

[silk fulcrum]

didn't know what?

[slate swan]

yea just set the type to be a discord.Attachment

[slate swan]

I'm not sure but, NVM ash is sm9rt

[slate swan]

I thought you typehint discord.File ?

oh god

[slate swan]

well, no

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=..., description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[slate swan]

it's used to prepare bytes for sending only

^

[alpine swan]

is the documentation through the bot better then the readthedocs? heh seems like it

[slate swan]

that's what someone else told me 😭

[slate swan]

the bot webscrapes the documentation from readthedocs site

[silk fulcrum]

on dpy server yes

[slate swan]

no

I agree that robo danny is far better

[slate swan]

I won't be surprised if I'm wrong because I haven't used dpy for 8-9 months

[alpine swan]

0.o was trying to look at the readthedocs and didnt see the 2.0 info for display_avatar

[silk fulcrum]

/latest

[slate swan]

i havent used dpy in like 8 months🗿

[slate swan]

😭 why

[silk fulcrum]

how is that even possible

[slate swan]

bot dev is boring lol

[alpine swan]

ah i see it now I'm dumb

[slate swan]

Actually kinda true

try developing discord

i would, i just dont want to have a stroke reading css

🙂

I'm talking about a chaos IRL

css 😭

imagine making bots, you guys dont even deserve a life anymore

bro what

💀

[slate swan]

Imagine

[slate swan]

and electron.js is just beautiful

[slate swan]

youre beautiful

🥺

actually js itself is beautiful

i would disagree

[slate swan]

imagine crying on css, just get better at writing css

[alpine swan]

gonna repost this sorry:
what if a bot is listening/posting to specific channels does the bot:
A) get manage channels permission and create the channels if they dont exist? (there a way to only allow permissions to create specific channels?)
B) expect admins to create the appropriate channels and not do anything if they dont exist
if it's A what's to limit a malicious bot that doesnt create hundreds of channels?

[slate swan]

JS makes me wanna yeet myself from a building

[slate swan]

an itachi with a weak eyesight

[slate swan]

Oh yeah my fault

[silk fulcrum]

i had 3 friends who rejected, blocked me because im coding on python, and they're JS. They did that, of course they did not fully make discord, but most of it

[slate swan]

Blocked for writing python code?? 😭

[slate swan]

i havent used my mangekyo but i can on you😳

[silk fulcrum]

yes, they were like 13 years

[slate swan]

But did they actually know js

pythons elegancy and readability is something else😍

[silk fulcrum]

i guess yes

[slate swan]

idk what to say but you saved yourself from JS so it's better

if you use python youre instantly attractive, its proven because sarth exists

😏

[silk fulcrum]

i tried JS, i coded a bot, but I felt disgusting, and decided myself to not continue this shit, and rather they block me than I'll continue those if (bruh) {stuff}

[slate swan]

well as long as you use json
you're technically a js person

use yaml

[silk fulcrum]

lmao

[slate swan]

imagine not using a text file for a config
what monsters ya'all are

[slate swan]

just an exception

[slate swan]

nope

what all can you use .count() for?

!d itertools.count

[unkempt canyon]

itertools.count

itertools.count(start=0, step=1)```
Make an iterator that returns evenly spaced values starting with number *start*. Often used as an argument to [`map()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#map "map") to generate consecutive data points. Also, used with [`zip()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#zip "zip") to add sequence numbers. Roughly equivalent to:

```py
def count(start=0, step=1):
    # count(10) --> 10 11 12 13 14 ...
    # count(2.5, 0.5) -> 2.5 3.0 3.5 ...
    n = start
    while True:
        yield n
        n += step
```  When counting with floating point numbers, better accuracy can sometimes be achieved by substituting multiplicative code such as: `(start + step * i for i in count())`...

[slate swan]

example/info

[slate swan]

well that's what most languages use actually

use the same file extension as the current and import file mehh

[whole lichen]

guys i did everything, this code was running in my other pc, but its throwing this error in my laptop.

i am building a Music Bot

[silk fulcrum]

i dont know. I used java and php and i didn't feel that disgusted, just a litle bit annoying to forget ;, but with js, idk

maybe that's cause of them

[slate swan]

incorrect bot token

[slate swan]

invalid token rwad the error

[whole lichen]

ohh, okay will change it again

[slate swan]

yeah most languages use curly brackets({}) for scopes/code blocks over depending on indents, like python, yaml also for config files etc

sarth im not directing the info at you, its with you

[slate swan]

try rust 😷

[whole lichen]

thankyou so much guys, i had been looking at the code for more than last 20 mins, thanks so much for help @slate swan @slate swan

[slate swan]

atleast rust screams at you, YOU MISSED A COLON MY BROTHER

no problem

[slate swan]

I didn't find any languages using indentation other than python, Lua, ruby and julia

[slate swan]

rust always got ur back

[slate swan]

yeah but ruby uses an end keyword to end scopes of a function which is kinda cool ig

[slate swan]

i still wouldnt use it but yes🫂

julia does the same, Lua too

mhm cool

[silk fulcrum]

nah i dont have time

[slate swan]

pause the time

[silk fulcrum]

how

[slate swan]

i always say i dont have time, ~~continues to watch yt videos for 5 hours straight ~~

[silk fulcrum]

well maybe I have, but the problem is that I have a month to make my bot from almost nothing

[slate swan]

why

[silk fulcrum]

cus its august

[slate swan]

and

[silk fulcrum]

i've lost june and july cus of chess tournaments

[slate swan]

[silk fulcrum]

and after august goes september, and school, and exams

[slate swan]

reject school

[silk fulcrum]

i'd like to

[slate swan]

accept python as your new lover🫂

[silk fulcrum]

but parents won't let me

[slate swan]

reject parents

accept python as your new parent🫂

[silk fulcrum]

i guess im not allowed to

even if I am

[slate swan]

ok im going to stop messing around

[silk fulcrum]

where will I go? live?

[slate swan]

self.process

[silk fulcrum]

self.process?

[alpine swan]

whats error, i see squiggly line

[slate swan]

and add a self argument lol

[silk fulcrum]

who was faster?

[silk fulcrum]

maybe its static

[slate swan]

from my side, me
idk about discord

[slate swan]

he would use @staticmethod

[silk fulcrum]

from my side, me

[slate swan]

I should've said that

[silk fulcrum]

we cant see what's up there

it's first line we see

[slate swan]

well just call it with ClassName.process then

[slate swan]

but you can😭

[silk fulcrum]

how

[slate swan]

B r o

[silk fulcrum]

is that a line

that should be nothing

[slate swan]

😭

[silk fulcrum]

why are you crying

self, ctx

[slate swan]

self arguments!

add self as the first parameter in instance methods

i name my instance arguments sarth

so i can do

sarth.give_love_to_okimii()

sarth has been initiated in that example😳

AttributeError

[slate swan]

setattr😏

slots

add self in the process fn

Yeah,.

y9 is an expert in oop😳

[slate swan]

I wish man

yes, and add self as the first argument in that function.

isnt it referred as method

yes

i love you

./distract.png, it's in the same dir

⭐relative paths⭐

everyone just want me out this chat smh😔

[silk fulcrum]

what????

nononononononono not out wdym

[slate swan]

codejam is not important right now

keyboard went brrr

ill assume you're aware how path strings work?

[silk fulcrum]

you're my only fren in here

pls dont leave me(

[slate swan]

im leaving, slides slowly to sarths dms😔

[silk fulcrum]

NOOOOO

😭 😭 😭

[slate swan]

I just wrote it there...

./distracted.png

try entering the full relative path

righ4 click and you will see an option for copying relative path, click on it and paste the path there

where did you right click? should have done on the file

[silk fulcrum]

okimii broke my heart, im leaving, i cant handle this anymore((

[alpine swan]

need to use \
\ escapes the current string to put special characters in

heh 2x \

[slate swan]

[silk fulcrum]

OKIMII

you are here!!!

[slate swan]

👋

[silk fulcrum]

👋👋

[alpine swan]

so no one responded to my question earlier about bots interacting with specific channels and if it's proper to either give bots permissions to manage channels vs having the server admins create the channels manually

[slate swan]

Yes it can be done, but why? its like a 2 second job for a person to do it. Lol. But yeh give what ever permissions and code you want to write for your bot and utilise, nothings stopping you.

[alpine swan]

just kinda worrying that people install bots with manage channels when it could potentially ruin their server

[slate swan]

Then use a popular bot, they tend to be a lot more secure.

[alpine swan]

I mean, I'm trying to make a bot, and trying to make it secure. Popularity doesnt mean something is secure

and I am trying to find repos that do something similar to what I want, just not finding it quickly

[slate swan]

popularity brings reputation

Well, yes they do as the teams behind them have better coding experience than most people, and have much better security in place to protect their data, they have a reputation to upkeep so have security always on there minds.

[slate swan]

What is it you want.

BUt yes, you can use the manage channels permission, with https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild.create_text_channel in your code, if your bothered about security then you can create .env file for your discord token and store it there and reference it in your code as you more than likely know, and don't publicly expose it, you can go even further if your using a DB and put that on to its own instance and have the bot connect remotely to the DB.

[alpine swan]

I want my bot to listen to and post messages to specific channels, but dont know how to interact with a guild that might not have those channels set up

so the options are have the bot require manage channels (which I find unsafe), or have the admin create the channels manually

[slate swan]

You'd have to check if the channels are created if not create them with the bot

Or if the channels are not created post some sort of message to the admins to manually create the channels

[alpine swan]

yeah, was also trying that route but i'm trying to find out how to query admins which is pushing me into other permissions roles like Intent.members which I guess thats fine

but was hoping to find a simpler path for user/developer that felt safe to me

[slate swan]

If you absolutely will not use manage channels permissions on the bot, then you're gonna have to just have the bot post some sort of message if the channel(s) are not found

[alpine swan]

kinda wish they at least split manage channels into create/edit/delete permissions

[slate swan]

🤷

[alpine swan]

I just see someone installing a bot and boop all channels are deleted

[slate swan]

Well that is irrelevant, cause if a user gives your bot admin to their server on invite then they are at risk either way, and a lot of people do it just for simplicities sake.

Yeah

[alpine swan]

and admins are not developers so they wont look at code or know what stuff does

[slate swan]

But they can still nuke servers.

[alpine swan]

Just dont think the public is that aware or not concerned that installing bots might have that happen, dunno

just seems important to me

[slate swan]

if channels not in listofchannels:
    send message

Something like that

[alpine swan]

yeah I know, I think I can sort stuff like that out, just has been driving down a rabbit hole of 'there has to be a better way'

[slate swan]

Ok then, have it message admins to creat ethe channels if your bothered about security 🙂

<@&831776746206265384>

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied ban to @brittle swift permanently.

[slate swan]

thanks

[alpine swan]

speaking of malicious actions >.<

[slate swan]

that was a user not a bot who posted that link

[alpine swan]

yeah but was kinda on topic 😛

[slate swan]

Welcome to the world of the internet... Lol, but anyway back to your problem. Giving a bot manage_channels permissions do have its draw backs and security risks, mostly coming from the developers lack of security, this is also the case for if you give a bot full admin, your pretty much screwed especially if you have your token leaked.

If you don't want to go down the road of giving your bot permissions to create the channels, then you would have to make it messages admins to create the channels for example, please create Channel1! and Channel2!

So long as the code matches the name of the channel your listener should also work, unfortunately the actual code would be a bit to complicated for me to actually write.

Sounds about right

I mean there are much more things to think about to in regards to security, like where is this bot hosted, replit? heruko? a VPS on DigitalOcean or some other hosting provider? Does it have a DB? If yes, is that DB on the same server? If yes, move the DB on to its own server with only traffic open between the 2 servers, Is there a public IP on your server? If so, is there a firewall in front with traffic locked down to your IP/VPN? Lots of things to think about to help get your Discord bot more secure.

[flint isle]

uhh its not replying to the right message
code:

    @commands.command(name='poll', description='Creates a poll')
    async def poll(self, ctx, *, question):
        """Creates a poll."""
        embed = disnake.Embed()
        embed.title = 'Poll'
        embed.description = """{ctx.author.name} asks:
        {question}
        ***React with ✔ for yes, ➖ for maybe, or ❌ for no.***"""
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        await ctx.message.add_reaction('✔')
        await ctx.message.add_reaction('➖')
        await ctx.message.add_reaction('❌')

[sick birch]

What do you mean by "replying"?

[flint isle]

reacting*

[sick birch]

Yeah ctx.message is the message that triggered the command

Use the message returned from ctx.send()

[flint isle]

oh... how would I fix that lol

huh?
would

react = ctx.send()
react.add_reaction("emoji here")

work?

@sick birch ^

[slate swan]

also use f strings

[flint isle]

yeah ik i forgot the f

Is there a way to detect when someone reacts to a reaction and then edit the message (bot sent) they reacted to?

[mortal thorn]

can a bot get someone's roles without role perms?

[slate swan]

how do i make python discord bot send a random gif from giphy (using giphy api) to discord when run bot command?

[slate swan]

Read the API docs?

[slate swan]

i cant find it?

[slate swan]

https://developers.giphy.com/docs/api#quick-start-guide

thanks bro

[native kestrel]

heya quick question, is it compulsory for message content intent to be enabled to use a bot

[sick birch]

If you have traditional prefix commands, yes

[native kestrel]

is there a way around it tho

[sick birch]

No

[native kestrel]

so I have to wait till 31st august

[slate swan]

async def giphy(ctx, *, trending):
    response = await session.get('http://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=' + search + '&api_key=mygiphyapitoken&limit=25')
    gif_choice = random.randint(0, 24)
    await ctx.send(gif_choice)

    await session.close()```

Why does my code not work? giphy api, random gif

[mortal thorn]

can a bot get someone's roles without role perms?

[full lily]

yeah it can see them

just like normal members can see eachothers roles

[mortal thorn]

so u can just take the roles of someone

thanks

[full lily]

well no. What do you mean "take"?

[mortal thorn]

like just get a list of his roles righjt?

[full lily]

oh yes. Yes.

[mortal thorn]

not actually take lol

[lilac shuttle]

it wont let me invite my bot to my server

[scarlet aurora]

mygiphyapitoken did you replace this with your token?

yes

this is the updated version of my code. but still not working?
error:
Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "randomgif" is not found

[dusky pine]

try aliases=["randomgif"] instead of name="randomgif"

[lilac shuttle]

how do i invite my bot

i tried to url generator but it doesnt work

[sick birch]

More detail would be helpful

[dusky pine]

wdym "doesn't work"? does it not invite? do commands not work?

[sick birch]

"doesn't work" could be a hundred different things that are wrong, it's almost impossible for us to tell w/o more info

[dusky pine]

hmm... by "doesn't work", do you mean that your computer is catching on fire whenever you generate the URL?

[lilac shuttle]

ok so i go to oauth2 and url generator

i select bot > administrator and use my redirect as https://discord.com

i invite the bot and then it does nothing

[sick birch]

That's the problem

You shouldn't have to fill in a redirect URL

That's only if you're doing a log in with discord type thing

[lilac shuttle]

i need to or it wont generate

'Please enter a redirect uri'

[sick birch]

I can do it just fine

[lilac shuttle]

how do i fix it

[sick birch]

What did you select for the scope?

[lilac shuttle]

oh found it

i had the code grant enabled

[slate swan]

async def giphy(ctx, *, trending) -> None:
    session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
    response = await session.get("https://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/trending?api_key=apikeyhere&limit=25&rating=g").json()
    embed = discord.Embed()
    urllist = []
    for event in response['data']:
        urllist.append(event['images']['original']['url'])
    embed.set_image(url=random.choice(urllist))
    await session.close()
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

how to get this working? its not work

[sick birch]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

breh...

[slate swan]

it is giphy api

[sick birch]

Okay.. but what's the issue?

[slate swan]

it doesnt work
Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "randomgif" is not found

it shows this error

[sick birch]

That's strange, can you try the <prefix>giphy?

[slate swan]

Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "giphy" is not found

[sick birch]

You sure you saved it?

[slate swan]

yes i did

[sick birch]

And you're sure you don't have any other instances running? (e.g on the production server)?

[slate swan]

no

[sick birch]

No as in you're not sure, or no as in you're sure you don't have any other instances running?

[slate swan]

Im sure that i dont have any other instances running.

[tired notch]

in dpy 2 i want to make a button name be a variable this is what i try py class Moves(View): def __init__(self, ctx, moves): super().__init__() self.moves = moves self.ctx = ctx @button(label=self.moves[0])

[sick birch]

I think reset your token, just to be 110% sure, because there's no other reason that it could be doing that

[sick birch]

You don't have access to the self variable in the decorator scope

Perhaps try going with a more dynamic approach by subclassing button?

[tired notch]

i not understand

what is button

[sick birch]

What do you not understand?

discord.ui.Button

[slate swan]

could it be the other parts of my code, thats causing it?

[sick birch]

Doubt it

[tired notch]

is class?

[sick birch]

It is a class, but you'll want to subclass it

[flint isle]

anyone know?

[tired notch]

what is @ for

[sick birch]

It's a decorator

[left idol]

in pycord can you have a dynamic cooldown with a slash command

[short axle]

[round knoll]

hello, how would i had a timestamp in the print statements, im guessing using the datetime module? or sys?

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    print("----------ZeddyBot is checking for roles----------")
    if any(a for a in after.activities if a.type == discord.ActivityType.streaming):
        if LIVE_ROLE_ID in after._roles:
            return
        else:
            print(f"----------Giving LIVE role to {after.name}----------")
            await after.add_roles(after.guild.get_role(LIVE_ROLE_ID))

    else:
        if LIVE_ROLE_ID in after._roles:
            print(f"----------Removing LIVE role from {after.name}----------")
            await after.remove_roles(after.guild.get_role(LIVE_ROLE_ID))

[slate swan]

datetime module probably your best bet

[round knoll]

so using fstring {datetime.time} ?

hmm actually datetime.datetime would be better. so i get the day month year format too

[lilac shuttle]

Client.run('no')

why am i getting an error on this line

[quaint epoch]

that's not a valid token

[lilac shuttle]

weird

[quaint epoch]

or you made a typo on client

how do you format datetime.now() id like to drop the ms

[lilac shuttle]

#python-discussion

[quaint epoch]

!d datetime.datetime.strftime

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.strftime

datetime.strftime(format)```
Return a string representing the date and time, controlled by an explicit format string. For a complete list of formatting directives, see [strftime() and strptime() Behavior](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior).

[round knoll]

thank you, i found it after a semi non efficient google, lol

i made this.. looks like it works..

print(datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))

i have to plug it into my print statement for my discord bot now

does that make any sense at all?

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    print(f"{datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")}----------ZeddyBot is checking for roles----------")

            await after.remove_roles(after.guild.get_role(LIVE_ROLE_ID))

hmm, im getting invalid syntax?

[dusky pine]

you can't have same type of quote in fstring

[round knoll]

oh, geez.. thanks w

[sick birch]

Would be better to use discord timestamps here

[round knoll]

hmm, wdym? it's a print statement for the Linux terminal my bot runs on, 24/7. it's not meant to print to discord

[sick birch]

Oh yikes, didn't notice. My bad. Maybe try the logging module?

[round knoll]

hmm, looks like it's working fine so far. will see if i actually get the usernames printed out tho. but so far so good

[cold tide]

@bot.command()
async def look(ctx):

    embed.set_footer(text="Look 👀 Command ! Dev - vd#7157")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Idk how to resolve the error.

[slate swan]

How can I delete all channel with my bot?

[cold tide]

I cant find my code but you can look it up on google.

[zealous jay]

why does the message.content prints empty?

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message: discord.Message):
        print(f'{message.guild} | {message.channel} | {message.author}: {message.content}')

the rest seems fine but the content wont show

[cold tide]

did you define it ??

[zealous jay]

wdym

the event is already passing the message

[cold tide]

like the discord.Message

[zealous jay]

yes it does that

[vocal snow]

Are you on 2.0)

[cold tide]

Oh yeah i see 😭

[zealous jay]

im using the slash commands branch

[zealous jay]

no problem haha

[vocal snow]

You need to enable message_content intents

[zealous jay]

oh

the bot is verified so it would be kinda rough to do that

it was just a test anyways

thanks

[scarlet pond]

!d events

does anybody know the event for when the bot joins the guild

[vocal snow]

!d discord.on_guild_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_join

discord.on_guild_join(guild)```
Called when a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") is either created by the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") or when the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") joins a guild.

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

[scarlet pond]

oh ty

how do you make the bot send a message on guild join

[primal token]

you can check the channels of the guild and you can pick one

!d discord.Guild.channels

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.channels

property channels```
A list of channels that belongs to this guild.

[scarlet pond]

how come this doesn't work? ```py

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
for channel in guild.text_channels:
if channel.permissions_for(guild.me).send_messages:
await channel.send('I will send this message when I join a server')
break

I pulled the code from stackoverflow but it seems fine to me

[silk fulcrum]

any errors?

[scarlet pond]

"Guild" has no attr "channel"

in for channel in guild.text_channels:

[silk fulcrum]

well I don't know why

you don't do guild.channel

you do guild.text_channels

and there is such an attr

did you save the file? or maybe you sent not actual code?

[scarlet pond]

yeah lemme try re saving the file

and running it again

[cold tide]

Can someone help?

Please.

[silk fulcrum]

why is all embed stuff inline?

[primal token]

use f strings with the random.choice

[cold tide]

its not.

its title function so it wouldnt be.

[primal token]

youre passing unnecessary arguments with the usage of commas

[cold tide]

How to fix??

[primal token]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[silk fulcrum]

also what is this

[cold tide]

😭

[scarlet pond]

it works now 😅 sorry for the trouble

[silk fulcrum]

lol

[scarlet pond]

I guess I forgot to save the file

[silk fulcrum]

pycharm 🆒

[cold tide]

@primal token Stil cant fix it.

[primal token]

whats your error?

[scarlet pond]

do you know how I could change it so that it could create a text channel

[silk fulcrum]

!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...

[white aurora]

👀

[cold tide]

@primal token

[primal token]

as told, youre passing unnecessary arguments with the usage of commas.

[cold tide]

How to fix it??

Idk how to.

[silk fulcrum]

do not pass unnecessary arguments with the usage of commas.

lmao

[primal token]

use your f strings and pass it in to curly brackets, idk how theyre called

[cold tide]

Bro you asked what embed=discord.Embed() means 💀

[silk fulcrum]

these {}?

[rain olive]

f"my name is {arg}"

[scarlet pond]

ty

[cold tide]

{ these? @primal token

[silk fulcrum]

i asked why are there two definitions of them in one line

[cold tide]

Thats dumb

[primal token]

you guys missed my entire point, its frightening

[silk fulcrum]

i get your point

you're saying that this doesnt work like they want

[cold tide]

@primal token im hella tired rn please jst show me what it should look like

@bot.command()
async def look(ctx):
    embed=discord.Embed() embed=discord.Embed(title=f"{ctx.author} searched a ",random.choice(place),"and found a ",description=random.choice(items),color=0xffff00)
    embed.set_footer(text="Look 👀 Command ! Dev - vd#7157")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[rain olive]

new to py ig

[primal token]

just pass your expressions into curly brackets?

[cold tide]

Im not.

[primal token]

it seems like thats a lie

[cold tide]

i just cant function correctly.

[cold tide]

Im new to discord.py just not py

[rain olive]

@cold tide

[primal token]

its a invalid amount of arguments error, its not even related to discord.py

[silk fulcrum]

a lot of begginers think like that if they were coding on python like 2 months or learnt simple basics of syntax

[primal token]

no offense, but even having a brain fart you should know how to navigate yourself which such a descriptive error

[cold tide]

Yeah lol

[cold tide]

I have certain issues which make that harder 🙃

[silk fulcrum]

at least I was like that :lemao:

[white aurora]

who wasn't lol

[cold tide]

i just havent slept for 2 days

[white aurora]

i don't think that's the issue

[cold tide]

Ill just ask in reddit

bye

[dusky pine]

"no offense"

[primal token]

that has no participation in this conversation...

[cold tide]

🤓

[primal token]

Learning python before working with a advanced library is essential non the less.

[rain olive]

answer in ur face btw

[primal token]

he literally has expressions in the f strings, he answered himself lol

[silk fulcrum]

i wouldn't call it advanced, maybe that's cause I'm too familiar with it, I started my whole python career with it

[cold tide]

Theres 350+ lines in my bot i know what im doing. Im not sitting here waiting to be spoonfed i just want the code.

[primal token]

Its advanced as it depends on OOP and async programming?

[white aurora]

intermediate python programmers could easily familiarize themselves with discord.py

[silk fulcrum]

@cold tide py embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{ctx.author} searched a {random.choice(place)} and found a", description=random.choice(items), color=0xffff00) see? no commas around random.choice, that's all

[white aurora]

maybe without OOP though lol

[silk fulcrum]

oh, that's how it works, then maybe

[cold tide]

Thankyou some idiots cant do that.

[primal token]

More lines of code dont make you any better, in fact less lines and clean code is what actually matters

[primal token]

It is lol

[cold tide]

🤓

[dusky pine]

Im not sitting here waiting to be spoonfed i just want the code
i just want the code
isn't that basically asking to be spoonfed

[silk fulcrum]

I have almost 2000 lines in my mod cog, and I can't make it smaller( am I dumb?((

[cold tide]

@dusky pine bro stop 🥒 🚴

[primal token]

seems like your code base and architecture arent exactly perfect

[silk fulcrum]

what should I do? I have ... I don't remember how much commands, but not a little I promise you

[dusky pine]

i think you can add other cogs to cogs

[silk fulcrum]

and a couple of listeners

[slate swan]

Wah

[silk fulcrum]

good job :lemao:

[primal token]

it depends on many things

[rain olive]

@cold tide i feel rather kind today.

we all know you are new to Python, its very clear from the error you're getting.
However not to worry.

discord.Embed(title=f"my name is", name, "what is ur name")

this is wrong, title only takes ONE argument.
Fixed code:

Embed(title=f"my name is {name}, what is ur name?")

Also having 350+ lines doesnt matter

[cold tide]

Im not new to py. Just discord.py

[primal token]

ratelimits....

[dusky pine]

I think the confusion comes from the print function which takes multiple arguments

[silk fulcrum]

im not new to JS guys, im just new to DJS

[rain olive]

stop telling us you arent new

this is the same as telling an f1 driver you can drive a car, when you only have a bike license lol

[slate swan]

Is put time.sleep(1)

[rain olive]

ofc

[cold tide]

anyways its fixed so goodbye, i did understand what @primal token was saying my brain just cant function properly rn.

[primal token]

it still doesnt matter, you shouldnt use time.sleep either way.

[slate swan]

Whay

[rain olive]

admit the fact youre new to python, learning the fundamentals of python is necessary to take on a discord bot project with python

[silk fulcrum]

because there is asyncio?

[white aurora]

asyncio.sleep()

[rain olive]

you really need to stop lying to yourself

[cold tide]

Im not new and thats the truth. I may need to get used to discord.pys syntax since ive only been using py but im still learning.

[rain olive]

this is for your greater good

[primal token]

You understood what i said but couldnt implement it and then proceeded to ask to get spoonfed, interesting.

[cold tide]

For the 6th time.

[slate swan]

My bot died

[dusky pine]

discord.py syntax? lmao

[cold tide]

You know what i mean.

[rain olive]

discord.py has no syntax, its the same as other libraries

[cold tide]

yk what i mean.

[rain olive]

no

[primal token]

theyre called library abstractions, not syntax.

[rain olive]

this is what happens when you brute force python just to use it with discord.py for a discord bot

[dusky pine]

but i think we're getting a little too rude

[rain olive]

harsh truth

not being rude here, its for this user's greater good

[silk fulcrum]

Guys, why are we arguing here, let's make a fund and buy MEE6 :lemaoX3:

[cold tide]

Ive just told you all i havent slept for 2 days and i havent took my medication, which is why you dont understand what im trying to say.

[slate swan]

welcome to the gang

[primal token]

Maybe worry about your health over your discord bot

[cold tide]

i do.

[rain olive]

clearly not XD

[cold tide]

i like coding as a hobby and it supports my mental health.

like a distraction.

i cant get my medication right now other wise i would.

[cold tide]

Well... not really

but i cant be bothered

Ill just ask my dad when hes up.

but thankyou for the help ig

[rain olive]

pov: your dad is Danny

[primal token]

He would archive you

[silk fulcrum]

why not mine((

[dusky pine]

😏

[slate swan]

and unarchive you with breaking changes later

[cold tide]

nope my dad just codes like me. He gets paid to build websites etc

he has way more knowledge than me + a 1 to 1 would be more benefical.

[silk fulcrum]

well, same, but mine doesn't code websites

[cold tide]

nice.

he just uses html, java and py

[silk fulcrum]

for sites?

[slate swan]

imagine making websites and not using js/ts

[primal token]

funny how CSS wasnt mentioned

[cold tide]

No html only

i believe.

[silk fulcrum]

isn't that what a lot of people do? they just use some good lang for that, like php idk and use libs, but not clean js/ts

[cold tide]

im not sure tho

[silk fulcrum]

that's not the way, only html means only visual nothing else

and you need at least CSS so it would look nice

[cold tide]

yeah ^^
