!try

bruh

syntax for try except is

try:
  # some code that might raise 'SomeException'
except SomeException:
  # stuff you want to do once the exception is raised

[slate swan]

okay so i got my tasks now how do i get the like the async def lline that what do i put there

@paper sluice

[silk fulcrum]

@paper sluice what does this mean?

[paper sluice]

or instead of having a task which checks every 3mins, make an event listener for on_user_update
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_user_update

[paper sluice]

can u show the full traceback

[slate swan]

Why does per_page dont work? I want to split these values in 2 so every page to have 10 values => 2 pages

The bot reacts to the message but the per_page doesnt work

[slate swan]

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_user_update():

also

@paper sluice

[silk fulcrum]

here you go..

[paper sluice]

??

[slate swan]

thats what i got rn

[slate swan]

what do i do next

[robust fulcrum]

Guys i have a cogs called commands.py
I want to make a seprate cogs for command errors . How can I make that?

[silk fulcrum]

create a cog

and make it a error handle cog

[slate swan]

@robust fulcrum check ur dm

[robust fulcrum]

No i mean that will i get the name error?

[slate swan]

check your dm it will help

[paper sluice]

i dont know why that is happening, neither do i see that exception being raised in the source, try reinstalling the lib

[silk fulcrum]

waht? You can name the cog whatever you want

[silk fulcrum]

dpy?

[robust fulcrum]

Like if if i do
@test.error
Will it say test not defined?

[silk fulcrum]

yes

[paper sluice]

take before and after and params for that event, that will be called once a user updates their profile then you can do anything you want with that

[paper sluice]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

So what to do?

Import comamnds?

[slate swan]

bro tysm

[silk fulcrum]

place custom error handler such as @test.error in the same cog as the command, there is no problem with that

[slate swan]

@paper sluice after that what do i do can u help melol

[robust fulcrum]

I want to make error handlers in seprate file

Is it possible?

[slate swan]

it is

[paper sluice]

what do you want to do?

[slate swan]

check the users status

like if they have my vanity in there status

like check if "gg/89j34"

[silk fulcrum]

not custom ones

[paper sluice]

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") instead.

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm

[slate swan]

check ever 3 mins

@paper sluice can u help me im not good w that stuff

[silk fulcrum]

Idk how, but that fixed the error, but only message commands work, not slash ones

[paper sluice]

so you would need the guild object for the guild you want to check the status thing, then you make a task and check loop over guild.members and check the status from there

[slate swan]

i had one and u told me to delete it lol

[paper sluice]

wait a few seconds, it sometimes might take sometime

[paper sluice]

i didnt know you wanted to check their status, i thought you wanted to check if they updated their profile

[slate swan]

oh

  @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0, count=5)
  async def slow_count(self):

i found this from docs

what do i switch abt it

[paper sluice]

not a lot, you will have to change the time and do the things i listed here #discord-bots message

[crystal glen]

How do I add Q&A things, For example if I do ?ban, The bot will respond who should I ban, And then if I type @ArasoOsara#0069 It should ban me, How do I do that?

[slate swan]

after async def what do i put @paper sluice

[paper sluice]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for you can use this to get input

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.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**...

[paper sluice]

do you know how to define a function?

[slate swan]

i forgot alot

[paper sluice]

and you don't have to keep tagging me, there are other people willing to help here

[silk fulcrum]

still no slash commands @paper sluice does it take that long?

[paper sluice]

https://realpython.com/defining-your-own-python-function/
check this out

[paper sluice]

no, did you sync the commands in the correct server and do you get any errors?

[silk fulcrum]

No errors, and sure I'll recheck server ID again

yes it's correct server

[slate swan]

you might want to read -> https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#slash-commands-not-showing-up

joined = '\n'.join(f"{i}." for i, v in enumerate(entry.items, start=1)) is there a way to replace the {i}. with embed?

        embed = discord.Embed(description=f"test")
        joined = '\n'.join(embed for i, v in enumerate(entry.items, start=1))
        return f'{joined}'```i made this but its not working

[silk fulcrum]

everything is like said there

[slate swan]

nice

[silk fulcrum]

my bot is not for slash command :lemao:

[paper sluice]

do you have application commands enabled in the portal?

[silk fulcrum]

yes? you mean when oauth?

[paper sluice]

yea

[silk fulcrum]

yes

I can rejoin my bot to make 100% sure

[paper sluice]

@slate swan code blocks for hybrid commands have 8 space indents for some reason :/

[slate swan]

huh?

[slate swan]

hm, might have happened when I copied the text

but ofc im too lazy to fix it so nvm

[silk fulcrum]

also why is there ctx.defer in every single command? Should I add it?

[paper sluice]

you dont need it everywhere, its only for commands take might take longer to respond

[paper sluice]

imagine not formatting gists

[slate swan]

someone?

[slate swan]

I write the hybrid commands section in a hurry ps I dont think anyone reads that gist anyways

[paper sluice]

some clearly do

[paper sluice]

you want to add a . after embed?

[eternal fox]

help lads i have a problem the error is the image and the code in that part is(i copied the code from https://gist.github.com/lykn/bac99b06d45ff8eed34c2220d86b6bf4 for testing:

class Buttons(discord.ui.View):                     def __init__(self, *, timeout=180):                 super().__init__(timeout=timeout)           @discord.ui.button(label="Button",style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)                               async def gray_button(self,button:discord.ui.Button,interaction:discord.Interaction):               await interaction.response.edit_message(
content=f"This is an edited button response!")
  
@bot.command()                                  async def button(ctx):                              await ctx.send("This message has buttons!",view=Buttons())

oops

[silk fulcrum]

what the heck is that code

[eternal fox]

the indentation got ruined

[slate swan]

joined = '\n'.join(f'{i}.' for i, v in enumerate(entry.items, start=1)) no? i just to replace the f"{i}." with embed

[paper sluice]

why are you trying to join embeds? what are you trying to achieve?

[slate swan]

and still get SyntaxErrors and indent errors

[eternal fox]

Ok actually i'll jus pastebin it wait

[slate swan]

what is the problem to make embed pages? i just want to remove the {i} and make embed pages

[paper sluice]

the problem is that, its an embed not a string, thats not how you make pages

[slate swan]

Ok so what you recommend ?

[paper sluice]

there are multiple ways to make a paginator, easiest would be having all the embeds in a list and just indexing that list to display an embed

[crystal glen]

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\ArasoOsara\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 343, in _run_event await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "D:\Desktop\Haryad Bot\haryad.py", line 77, in on_message await level_up(users, message.author, message.channel) File "D:\Desktop\Haryad Bot\haryad.py", line 99, in level_up experience = users[str(user.id)]['experience'] KeyError: '1004129575976042566'
what is this error?

[robust fulcrum]

There is one library to make paginator too

[slate swan]

ok but how i can make every page to have certain amount of values?

[slate swan]

the key isnt the in the json file

[crystal glen]

?

[slate swan]

For example, i have 20 values but i want every page to have 10 = 2 pages

[crystal glen]

Why is this happening tho?

[eternal fox]

how do i fix this,i got the code from a gist

[paper sluice]

split the values into certain amount of chunks, then make embeds and fill them with those chunks

[crystal glen]

Oh it's bot's ID

[slate swan]

because it is NOT in the data

[crystal glen]

kk, thanks

[slate swan]

learn python and use an updated gist/examples

[eternal fox]

okioki thx

[limber bison]

ctx.author.username WHY THIS INCORECT ?

[crystal glen]

Why does this happen? 😢

This is why it happens

[eternal fox]

Ok so i fixed it cos it turns out that it was outdated and when i was scrolling down in the comments it had the solution for that error soo ye

[crystal glen]

Any fix?

[ebon island]

What's the current best method for attaching buttons to a post?

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def users(ctx):
  for users in client.users:
    await ctx.send(len(users))
``` command unresponsive

I destroyed the chat💀

[slate swan]

ctx.author.name

Or ctx.author

[silk fulcrum]

cus client has no attribute users

[slate swan]

so what should I do to get the users ?

[silk fulcrum]

this will return name with discriminator if turn it into str

what users?

[slate swan]

Like all the users my bot can see

Not their name or id
Just the total count of them

[silk fulcrum]

oh wait it has this attribute

but don't do for

just do await ctx.send(len(client.users)))

[slate swan]

you forgot to put {} in your json file

[silk fulcrum]

cus for will iterate through each member

[quaint scaffold]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.users

[silk fulcrum]

yeah i already saw

[limber bison]

@commands.command()
    async def PVC(self , ctx , time):
        guild = ctx.guild
        user = ctx.author
        overwrites = {
        guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(connect=False),
        guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(connect=True)
        }
        PVC = await guild.create_voice_channel(f"{ctx.author.name}'s vc", overwrites=overwrites)

        await PVC.edit(position=len(guild.voice_channels))
        await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author} your vc created named {ctx.author.name}'s vc")
        await asyncio.sleep(time)
        await PVC.delete()```

asyncio.sleep ??

correct ?

[quaint scaffold]

client.users is just list[discord.User]. So you could just use len(client.users) as though you could with len(['foo', 'bar'])

[slate swan]

Ooh ty

[silk fulcrum]

time must be typehinted as int and be in seconds

[limber bison]

typehinted mean /

?

[silk fulcrum]

!typehinting

[unkempt canyon]

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.

[quaint scaffold]

You're shadowing here, use a better variable name and stick to snake_case. Otherwise the rest should be fine at a quick glance.

[limber bison]

got it master

[limber bison]

🤔 ohh k btw whats snake_case ?

[quaint scaffold]

[silk fulcrum]

letmegooglei....

[crystal glen]

No that's not it...

It only happens when I spam

[limber bison]

got it

[quaint scaffold]

You're likely spamming so fast that the JSON file hasn't finished being written to, this is why people use dedicated databases for this sort of thing such as SQLite

[crystal glen]

Is there a way to add Did you mean this command?, If somebody writes there command in a wrong way, The bot should correct them?

[crystal glen]

Best fix will be slow mode

[shrewd apex]

json file loading and dumping is sync btw

[slate swan]

How can I split the length of an embed? For example, if an embed has 20 values, i want to split these values in 2 so the embed to have 10 values. Its for embed pages so there will be 2 pages of 10 values each page

[limber bison]

what dose -> int do in async def PVC(self , ctx , time:int)-> int

[shrewd apex]

is it's blocking

[limber bison]

??

[quaint scaffold]

lol no, then two people could write a message at the same time accidentally and corrupt your file.

[dusky pine]

you can use difflib on handling CommandNotFound error

[silk fulcrum]

well, copypasting is bad but Python bot has source code

[shrewd apex]

nothing it's just a way of saying that the function returns an integer

[slate swan]

cool

[limber bison]

🤔 oh k

[crystal glen]

Any examples?

!d difflib

[unkempt canyon]

difflib

Source code: Lib/difflib.py

This module provides classes and functions for comparing sequences. It can be used for example, for comparing files, and can produce information about file differences in various formats, including HTML and context and unified diffs. For comparing directories and files, see also, the filecmp module.

[shrewd apex]

seriously 🗿

[quaint scaffold]

You'd want to handle discord.CommandNotFound and then add some logic to find out which command they meant to send, or a similar one.

[shrewd apex]

^^

[crystal glen]

Yes I already have the command error, I need an example for the logic you're talking about.

[shrewd apex]

handle in error handler then use difflib to find closest matches

[dusky pine]

i'm pretty sure you can just handle the discord.CommandNotFound (as Dan said) and use difflib.get_close_matches to compare with ctx.command.name

[shrewd apex]

!d difflib.get_close_matches

[unkempt canyon]

difflib.get\_close\_matches

difflib.get_close_matches(word, possibilities, n=3, cutoff=0.6)```
Return a list of the best “good enough” matches. *word* is a sequence for which close matches are desired (typically a string), and *possibilities* is a list of sequences against which to match *word* (typically a list of strings).

Optional argument *n* (default `3`) is the maximum number of close matches to return; *n* must be greater than `0`.

Optional argument *cutoff* (default `0.6`) is a float in the range [0, 1]. Possibilities that don’t score at least that similar to *word* are ignored.

The best (no more than *n*) matches among the possibilities are returned in a list, sorted by similarity score, most similar first.

[crystal glen]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
        await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author.mention} `{ctx.message.content}` Is an invalid command.')
        # and then use difflib to find the closest match
        import difflib
        closest = difflib.get_close_matches(ctx.message.content, client.commands, 1)
        if closest:
            await ctx.send(f'Did you mean `{closest[0]}`?')

[shrewd apex]

handle it in error handler

[slate swan]

I mean it’s not necessary to use “did you mean this command”

[crystal glen]

Will this work?

[quaint scaffold]

No

[crystal glen]

Why

[quaint scaffold]

Try it

Print client.commands too

[slate swan]

!tias

nvm

[dusky pine]

[cmd.name for cmd in client.commands] to get all names of commands

[quaint scaffold]

why spoonfeed

[slate swan]

87 command names possible in an embed?

[dusky pine]

that's a long ass embed then

[dusky pine]

figure out where to put it

[quaint scaffold]

as long as its under the text size limit, sure, e.g. descriptions max out at 4096

[slate swan]

then it’s fine ig?

Lemme try

[quaint scaffold]

no, you tell them what the issue is and let them try to find a solution, and if they can't, guide them in the right direction instead of giving something they could literally copy and paste into their code and have it work

[crystal glen]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
        closest = difflib.get_close_matches(ctx.message.content, client.commands, 1)
        if closest:
            await ctx.send(f'Did you mean `{closest[0]}`?')
        else:
            await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author.mention} I can't find any close matches for `{ctx.message.content}`")

What's wrong?

[quaint scaffold]

but regardless the code you gave wouldn't actually work

[crystal glen]

u tell me then 😒

[shrewd apex]

ctx.command.name exist

why check for content

[quaint scaffold]

wouldn't ctx.command be None here?

[crystal glen]

I don't know what you guys are talking about

[shrewd apex]

hmm idk

u can try

[quaint scaffold]

what error are you getting

[crystal glen]

TypeError: object of type 'Command' has no len()

[silk fulcrum]

get_close_matches needs list[str] as second argument and client.commands is list[commands.Command]

[crystal glen]

But List isn't defined

[silk fulcrum]

edited

[crystal glen]

@client.event

So this?

[silk fulcrum]

you just completely missed what I meant...

[crystal glen]

yes.

[silk fulcrum]

well, actually, you've already been spoonfeeded so.. yeah.. idk

[crystal glen]

🤦‍♂️ what do I DO

[silk fulcrum]

ctx.invoked_with would be more reliable

[shrewd apex]

yeah that too

[silk fulcrum]

ctx.client lmao

[crystal glen]

WHAT DO I DO

IM A FUCKING NOOB

[slate swan]

Language

[crystal glen]

u guys are not helping at all..,

[silk fulcrum]

see, you need to specify a list of commands, BUT, not of commands, of command names!

[crystal glen]

@client.event

[silk fulcrum]

what are keys?

[crystal glen]

does client.commands.name exist?

or client.command.names

[silk fulcrum]

nah

[crystal glen]

what then?

[silk fulcrum]

list of commands, and commands have name attribute

[slate swan]

Not everyone here can help you with your error

[crystal glen]

I'm totally lost here

[slate swan]

what's the issue?

[silk fulcrum]

Alright I'll try to explain

Stop spamming

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command

A class that implements the protocol for a bot text command.

These are not created manually, instead they are created via the decorator or functional interface.

[dapper cobalt]

That's the one ^

[slate swan]

Anyways hi everyone

[slate swan]

What u didn't understood

[crystal glen]

This is my code, And it doesn't work

[slate swan]

Define not working

[dire pier]

error?

[crystal glen]

I get this error when I do a wrong command

[silk fulcrum]

So, you've got list of commands, you need to make list of names, and you can make that via iterating through all those commands, so something like this: py new_list = [] for cmd in client.commands: new_list.append(cmd.name) but ✊ •w• ✋ now watch me nae-nae already told a short way with [cmd.name for cmd in client.commands] @crystal glen

[slate swan]

It return list

U need names

[slate swan]

Of command object

[slate swan]

The reason why it does not work is because, ctx.invoked_with returns the command name/alias that was used for invoking a command; but in your case the command does not exist either
using ctx.message.content would not solve the problem too because if a command is invoked for example !command uwuwuwu and some other arg and there's a nice chance that it'll not work

but yes too that ctx.client.commands would not work either

[dire pier]

instead of ctx.message.content do ctx.invoked_with

[slate swan]

you should use a botvar to store the command names on startup if you dont have a custom commands feature

[slate swan]

Why

[silk fulcrum]

bruh my explanation skills are complete garbage

lmao

[slate swan]

bot.all_commands.keys() , thanks

[crystal glen]

@client.event

[silk fulcrum]

no problem

[slate swan]

because, if the commands are manually created, in essence, using decorators, the commands remain the same but anyways darling sarthak is the smortest

[ebon island]

How do I attach a disnake Button to a message?

[crystal glen]

Is this good enough?

I guess so

[slate swan]

create a view, and send the view using view kwarg in send/reply

Mine works too, Isn't it the same?

[ebon island]

I'll give it a try, thanks 🙂

[silk fulcrum]

mine shorter

[crystal glen]

Well mine works, Thanks for the help ❤️

[silk fulcrum]

aight bye guys, hope you will solve problems without my garbage explanation, gtg

[slate swan]

...

[cloud dawn]

Issue with this is that it will also include hidden commands and commands they can't even run.

It will also give completely random commands when something absolute random is typed in.

[crystal glen]

How to fix this

[slate swan]

Big brain 🤯

Guys I saw there are my alt detector bot . How can we make like that in discord.py?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.can_run

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.can\_run

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

Checks if the command can be executed by checking all the predicates inside the [`checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks") attribute. This also checks whether the command is disabled.

Changed in version 1.3: Checks whether the command is disabled or not

Changed in version 2.0: `ctx` parameter is now positional-only.

[silk fulcrum]

yeah then it should be smth like py commands_list = [] for cmd in self.bot.walk_commands(): if not cmd.hidden: commands_list.append(cmd.name)

oh can_run... aight gtg anyways

[crystal glen]

I'm not using self...

[cloud dawn]

Well both since a user could run a hidden command.

[ebon island]

tbh the commands should be in a dict for O(1) lookup, if you have a lot of commands it will make a difference in time complexity O(1) vs O(n)

[cloud dawn]

Walk would also include groups

[silk fulcrum]

also aliases might also be included

[ebon island]

if you are going to do that style of for x in y lookup

[silk fulcrum]

isnt that good?

[cloud dawn]

No since you would also need to extract those while bot.commands gives everything exracted anyways.

[cloud dawn]

Could but if a Cog gets reloaded with a new command it won't be added.

[ebon island]

you can do the same thing and just add it to the dict I'd think right?

and track that way

[cloud dawn]

You would need to modify the reload function.

[whole sparrow]

Possible to send a followup ephemeral message into another channel?

[cloud dawn]

Just a super not much effort.

But I'm thinking for his skill level nearly impossible.

[slate swan]

they originally are

the dict is un documented for the bot class

!d discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin

class discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin(*args, **kwargs)```
A mixin that implements common functionality for classes that behave similar to [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group") and are allowed to register commands.

[slate swan]

this class has that attribute

[crystal glen]

@client.command()
@commands.check(is_it_me)
async def nuke(ctx):
    x = ctx.author.voice.channel
    for i in range(100):
        await x.connect()
        y = ctx.voice_client
        await y.disconnect()

Best command to get banned

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[vale wing]

Why .format when f-strings exist

[valid shadow]

it's my first time using discord py

[sick birch]

YT tutorial

[vale wing]

Ikr

[valid shadow]

no, thats literally on the docs

[sick birch]

Is it now

[silk fulcrum]

1. Why would you use both client and bot in one
2. You are doing client.bot, so only client things will run, not eubot ones @valid shadow

[vale wing]

Anyway f-strings are better for most of cases

!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]

now I'm scared of planes

[slate swan]

how ;/

[silk fulcrum]

simply

[slate swan]

plane cool

[valid shadow]

got it

[slate swan]

[vale wing]

i recently discovered c# supports string interpolation too and was like why tf was I concatenating stuff in Debug.Log

[silk fulcrum]

leave only one view= in command and put all buttons in one view

!d discord.TextChannel.overwrites

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.overwrites

property overwrites```
Returns all of the channel’s overwrites.

This is returned as a dictionary where the key contains the target which can be either a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") or a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") and the value is the overwrite as a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite").

Ok Bye

[quaint epoch]

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.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]

use the overwrites kwarg while creating the channel

check the docs, it already has em

yay

it work :D

[short relic]

I mean the docsquite confusing for me

[quaint epoch]

you gotta read them anyway

docs are important, humans don't know everything

[slate swan]

eww, just make them mention a channel dude, plus that wont work as channel is certainly a string argument and fetch_channel asks for an int

[quaint epoch]

typehinting -_-

[slate swan]

just dew it as discord.abc.GuildChannel

[lone lichen]

!d discord.TextChannel

!d discord.Guild

[slate swan]

!d discord.CategoryChannel.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel.create\_text\_channel

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

A shortcut method to [`Guild.create_text_channel()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.create_text_channel "discord.Guild.create_text_channel") to create a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") in the category.

[tough lance]

create_voice_channel for this case

[lone lichen]

just add category kw argument

[cloud dawn]

agreed getting the category is a pain.

You would still need to get it tough.

[lone lichen]

You can do it with guild.get_channel

It returns GuildChannel abc

And CategoryChannel inherits from it

And category kw argument requires CategoryChannel instance

[silk fulcrum]

but you can pass discord.Object(id=category_id) in category arg

[lone lichen]

!d discord.Object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object

class discord.Object(id)```
Represents a generic Discord object.

The purpose of this class is to allow you to create ‘miniature’ versions of data classes if you want to pass in just an ID. Most functions that take in a specific data class with an ID can also take in this class as a substitute instead. Note that even though this is the case, not all objects (if any) actually inherit from this class.

There are also some cases where some websocket events are received in [strange order](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/21) and when such events happened you would receive this class rather than the actual data class. These cases are extremely rare.

x == y Checks if two objects are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the object’s hash.

[cloud dawn]

That won't work.

[silk fulcrum]

or is that only possible for Snowflake types?

sadge

[cloud dawn]

"The permissions will be automatically synced to category if no overwrites are provided."

This means it would need more than just the id.

[lone lichen]

You can use that to make your own dataclasses

But in this case it would just be shooting yourself in the foot since all u need is already done

[vale wing]

Isn't syncing done on discord side

Anyway ima check source

[lone lichen]

I’ m guessing dpy would just tell discord to sync permissions if you dont provide overwrites, or It’ s already default on discord

[vale wing]

In source code it only uses id attribute so parsing Object should work (I haven't noticed any type checks for the category) https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/842d6b4fbb2764f6b36914e920e5ef252a59f6f7/discord/guild.py#L1201

[unkempt canyon]

discord/guild.py line 1201

parent_id = category.id if category else None```

[vale wing]

And category in internal method's signature is typehinted with Snowflake https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/842d6b4fbb2764f6b36914e920e5ef252a59f6f7/discord/guild.py#L1173-L1179

await guild.create_voice_channel(f"{ctx.author.name}'s vc" , category = 995100986488147990 , overwrites=overwrites)
in this right ?

o thats why this not working

[silk fulcrum]

nope it is not

[limber bison]

?so how can i fix this

@silk fulcrummaster help 😳

[vocal snow]

put the id in discord.Object

[limber bison]

eg. ?

await guild.create_voice_channel(f"{ctx.author.name}'s vc" , category = 995100986488147990 , overwrites=overwrites)?

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object

class discord.Object(id)```
Represents a generic Discord object.

The purpose of this class is to allow you to create ‘miniature’ versions of data classes if you want to pass in just an ID. Most functions that take in a specific data class with an ID can also take in this class as a substitute instead. Note that even though this is the case, not all objects (if any) actually inherit from this class.

There are also some cases where some websocket events are received in [strange order](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/21) and when such events happened you would receive this class rather than the actual data class. These cases are extremely rare.

x == y Checks if two objects are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the object’s hash.

[vocal snow]

you can figure this out

[lapis lintel]

Eh if you know what you are doing you can pretty much unlock any features that you want by hosting your own instance of the bot

I don't know really, I'm just theorizing, open source it's really much new to me

[vocal snow]

if you're looking to profit from the bot then making it open source wouldn't help 🤷

[limber bison]

thanks guruji

[lapis lintel]

eh that's true, too

[lone lichen]

You need to pass CategoryChannel instance

[slate swan]

guys does like this will make lines? await rps.edit(content=f'**{player1rps} Vs {player2rps})**' , f'{player1rps} is Choose :roll_of_paper:' , f'{player2rps} is Choose :moyai:' , f'{player1rps} **WON** The Game' , view=View2())

or how

[lone lichen]

Can you send a ss pls

It’ s easier for me to read

[cloud dawn]

This isn't right.

[slate swan]

ye idk how fix it

[lone lichen]

What are u trying to do

[slate swan]

Indiaa!!!

[cloud dawn]

Just use \n

[slate swan]

what is \n

[cloud dawn]

breakline

[lone lichen]

New line

[slate swan]

can you put it ppls in my code i so dumb ;/

[cloud dawn]

!e print("Hello\nWorld!")

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[slate swan]

o

butOOO

THX

[lone lichen]

Or you can use triple quotes for bigger texts

[slate swan]

ok

[pulsar solstice]

I am made a counter bot but the value of number is not updating and stuck on 1

here is my code:

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot=discord.Client()


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("bot is ready ") 

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    user_input=int(message.content)
    number=1


    if user_input == number:
        await message.add_reaction(":white_check_mark:")
        number+=1
    elif user_input != number:
        await message.reply(f"bruhhh... @{message.author} messaged up :(", delete_after=60)
        await message.add_reaction(":x:!")
        
        



bot.run("token")```

PLEASE HELP

[vocal snow]

well why are you resetting the variable everytime you get a message?

[cloud dawn]

1. message.author.mention

[pulsar solstice]

oh

[cloud dawn]

2. :x:! is not a valid emoji

[pulsar solstice]

it is and it works

[vocal snow]

that elif is also unnecessary

[cloud dawn]

3. casting message content forcibly to int without try/except

4. no channel check so this will happen everywhere.

5. it doesn't have message intents

[pulsar solstice]

now I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

[pulsar solstice]

it's doesn't need it at all!

[pulsar solstice]

i will fix it later

[cloud dawn]

[lone lichen]

You havent assigned number

[vocal snow]

dont reference it before assignment then

[slate swan]

guys what is this error File "C:\Users\Ibrah\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 990, in invoke await injected(*ctx.args, **ctx.kwargs) # type: ignore File "C:\Users\Ibrah\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 204, in wrapped raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: object of type 'Message' has no len()

[lone lichen]

You need to store the number in db or somewhere

And update it

Or put it in ram

[pulsar solstice]

where should i then?

[pulsar solstice]

how?

[vocal snow]

after assignment??

[lone lichen]

😭

[slate swan]

[vocal snow]

print(x)
x = 1 
``` what would this print

[slate swan]

!e print(x)
x = 1

L LOl

[lone lichen]

🥊

[lone lichen]

Can u use a db?

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
name = 'Alice'

def example():
print(name)
name = 'Bob'

example()

[pulsar solstice]

I am noob at it sorry

[vocal snow]

bro lmao

[lone lichen]

Learn about databases

Or put it in ram

Just please dont make a global variable

[pulsar solstice]

can u fix it in the code itself

[pulsar solstice]

why?

[cloud dawn]

I don't think I can.

[pulsar solstice]

huh? why?

[lone lichen]

It’ s just shooting urself in the foot

[pulsar solstice]

how?

[vocal snow]

we aren't talented enough

[pulsar solstice]

hmmm...

[lone lichen]

It’ s just like having a big party for random pain in the ass errors

[vocal snow]

I'd recommend learning the basics of python before getting into a discord.py bot for what it's worth

[lone lichen]

I agree with zeffo

[pulsar solstice]

ohm I can relate now

[lone lichen]

Learn at least oop first

And bit of asynchronous programming

Just so u get an idea

[lone lichen]

Thats not random pain in the ass error

[verbal scarab]

can you put multiple value in .split() ?

like .split(' + ',' - ',' * ',' / ')

or thats not how u do it

[lone lichen]

What are u tryna do?

[verbal scarab]

like im trying to do a input, value1 will either + - * or /

so num1 , num2 = float(input('Enter values here: ')).split()

[slate swan]

GUYS HELP WHAT THIS ERROR MEAN v Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Ibrah\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 195, in wrapped ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "c:\Users\Ibrah\Desktop\discord bot\main.py", line 414, in rps botrpschoose = random.choice(rps) File "C:\Users\Ibrah\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\random.py", line 378, in choice return seq[self._randbelow(len(seq))] TypeError: object of type 'Message' has no len()

[verbal scarab]

the split im trying to ask if i can input multiple stuff

[lone lichen]

With regular expressions

[vocal snow]

rps is a Message, how will you use random.choice with it...

[lone lichen]

Send ss of code

[slate swan]

rps = ['rock' , 'paper', 'scissors']

[verbal scarab]

Can elaborate?

[slate swan]

nvm fix it

[vocal snow]

!d re.split

[unkempt canyon]

re.split

re.split(pattern, string, maxsplit=0, flags=0)```
Split *string* by the occurrences of *pattern*. If capturing parentheses are used in *pattern*, then the text of all groups in the pattern are also returned as part of the resulting list. If *maxsplit* is nonzero, at most *maxsplit* splits occur, and the remainder of the string is returned as the final element of the list.

```py
>>> re.split(r'\W+', 'Words, words, words.')
['Words', 'words', 'words', '']
>>> re.split(r'(\W+)', 'Words, words, words.')
['Words', ', ', 'words', ', ', 'words', '.', '']
>>> re.split(r'\W+', 'Words, words, words.', 1)
['Words', 'words, words.']
>>> re.split('[a-f]+', '0a3B9', flags=re.IGNORECASE)
['0', '3', '9']

[lone lichen]

Ty

[vocal snow]

okie im going now

[lone lichen]

Cya bro

[verbal scarab]

ok thanks

[slate swan]

GUYS WHAT THIS CODE SHOULD DO global rpschoosed rpschoosed = 'true'

@potent fox help

i want make rtpschoosed global @discord.ui.button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji=":scissors:") async def buttom3_callback(self, interaction, button): global rpschoose rpschoose = 'scissors' global rpschoosed rpschoosed = 'true'

@potent fox Sorry :(

[slate swan]

Very sorry but have any idea why this not work

[lone lichen]

I told u to not make a global variable

[slate swan]

where

[tough lance]

It's literally on the third line

[slate swan]

wdym

where

[lone lichen]

There is 3 times u used word global in ur code and u wonder where it is?

[slate swan]

i hate you guys

just TELL ME

[lone lichen]

What are u tryna do?

[slate swan]

i try

global rpschoose

[lone lichen]

No, what is ur code supposed to do

[slate swan]

ah

[slate swan]

this when i click button should global rpschoose

[lone lichen]

?

[slate swan]

;/

You really need to learn basic Python before doing this, stop expecting to be spoon fed everyday.

[lone lichen]

Every day 😂

So u saying this aint the first time?

[meager chasm]

The Python Sky try not to be an entitled, toxic brat challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

[lone lichen]

😭

[slate swan]

?? dude it easy just give me some one nice and good at python and he can help me

[lone lichen]

@slate swan what does ur code need to do

[robust snow]

I will help you for proper payment, otherwise, google is your free friend! 🙂

There's really no point in jumping in and trying to make a discord bot without knowing basic Python or JS fundamentals

[slate swan]

IT SHOULD MAKE WHEN You CLICK A BUTTON IT globel rpschoose if you don't understand that the problem with you

[meager chasm]

I've gone through your message history and frankly, it's very easy to see why no one wants to help you; you're rude, you don't listen to advice, you spam messages in full caps and you're just generally very unfriendly and repulsive and revolting.

[lone lichen]

So when button is clicked you want the variable to become global?

[slate swan]

i will not even gonna read all this

[slate swan]

YE

[lone lichen]

I give up

[slate swan]

why bc you so dumb?

[slate swan]

[lone lichen]

You want to make a local variable global by clicking a button?

[slate swan]

YEs

[lone lichen]

And I’ m the dumb one?

[slate swan]

yes

bc you say i give up for no reason

[robust snow]

It sounds like you've given up @slate swan

google is your friend as I said earlier

[slate swan]

not google not best place in python

[desert sparrow]

what is the recommended pip package to make discord bots today?

[robust snow]

discord.py

[lone lichen]

I use disnake

[lone lichen]

Isnt it discontinued?

[slate swan]

No, 2.0 is pretty much here 🙂

[robust snow]

Nope

[slate swan]

2.0 is best

[desert sparrow]

https://pypi.org/project/discord.py/ ? slightly woried that last update in Jun 12, 2021

a whole year without updates a bit sus

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py Official git for it

o lol

[desert sparrow]

and last supported version python 3.8

[slate swan]

yeeeeees

[desert sparrow]

i wish to use python 3.10

[lone lichen]

Ohh, I didnt know that, thats awesome

[robust snow]

just use py -3.10 -m pip install discord.py

[lone lichen]

Does it support components and everything?

Ill send u a link that can help u fix this

[robust snow]

You need to learn how to handle variables @slate swan

[desert sparrow]

do you think due to backward python compatibility it will still work fine?

[slate swan]

Not 100%, I am still going through documentation, etc to get a better understanding of what is available, and taking notes of the important bits I need to sort my bot.

[robust snow]

Yessir

[slate swan]

👍

[robust snow]

incoming ez phish

[slate swan]

i aready did

[desert sparrow]

perhaps better to be not risking and going with python 3.8 just to be sure

[slate swan]

[lone lichen]

https://youtu.be/kqtD5dpn9C8

[robust snow]

I would personally - all of the syntax is the same for basic functions

[slate swan]

using global here ew

[slate swan]

NO

global has its uses lol

[slate swan]

so what i need use

[limber bison]

time converter ?

[slate swan]

"here"

[lone lichen]

Yes

[limber bison]

jai hind boss

[slate swan]

dude it trash

[slate swan]

i know python

[lone lichen]

Yes

[slate swan]

lol

[desert sparrow]

ergh. The only real difference for me would be lack of ability using newer Typing sytnax

def foo() -> list[str] | none:
  pass

[slate swan]

either way its not something you gag at or act disgusted, its pretty handy

[robust snow]

It seems you don't 🙂

[slate swan]

ok ok ;/ i will not click

[grim oar]

I am here

[slate swan]

class variables

[slate swan]

what i use to make it globel and use it any where

[meager chasm]

arent you that lady from the hata server 🤔

[lone lichen]

For some constants mby

[slate swan]

no in an async environment its good

[lone lichen]

Not necessarily for variables that change a lot

[desert sparrow]

Oh wait, there is also another difference. I remember asyncio inbuilt has better features in newer python versions. In python 3.8 i think iwill be without functions like async_to_sync for easy launch of sync stuff in multithreading imitating async

Considering that discord.py is async stuff, i need better async support
I'll go with python 3.10 then.

[slate swan]

nova got caught 👀

[slate swan]

;/

[lone lichen]

Why not

[meager chasm]

I've been using 3.10.5 with dpy master with no issues if that means anything

[slate swan]

dude it small thing wy i need learn 1 hour for nothing tell me or don't chat ;/

[lone lichen]

As good as that sounds it could lead to some unexpected issues

[robust snow]

it's literally FUNDAMENTAL to Python

to know how to handle variables

[meager chasm]

and you're right about the asyncio benefits: being able to use asyncio.to_thread instead of the ugly ass loop.run_in_executor thing is very convenient

[slate swan]

i know how

[lone lichen]

Yes

^^

[robust snow]

it's not a little thing, it's the foundation of your python ability

[slate swan]

i know

[limber bison]

i want to take input as hrs , how can i create a converter ?

[slate swan]

#tools-and-devops

[robust snow]

built in library "datetime" or "time"

[meager chasm]

and maybe rule 5 👀

[lone lichen]

Check out pytimeparse library

[grim oar]

I am a he.

[lone lichen]

Hi a he, I’ m enslo

[grim oar]

sup

[lone lichen]

I’ m sorry, that was a horrible dad joke

[grim oar]

True

[slate swan]

plot twist you are a dad

[silk fulcrum]

plot twist yes i am

[slate swan]

😳

[meager chasm]

oh, apologies. I seem to remember you getting banned and then flamed in the hata server for doing something 😅

[silk fulcrum]

also hi 👋

[grim oar]

Ok

[slate swan]

hi hi✌️

Is there a way to split fetchall into pieces.? I have 21 rows in my db right and i want to split them in 3 (10 + 10 + 1)

[silk fulcrum]

!slices

!slicing

[slate swan]

?

[grim oar]

He tried

[slate swan]

true

[silk fulcrum]

I tried

[slate swan]

xd

[silk fulcrum]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/509211/understanding-slicing

[slate swan]

and something else

[silk fulcrum]

wdym?

[slate swan]

I have question

[silk fulcrum]

ohkay

[slate swan]

I am making embed pages and i take data from db , fetch it and send it through embed. Cause i want every page to have 10 rows/values, it did fetchmany(10) and i want to have as many pages as the rows in the table. How can i make that?

[silk fulcrum]

you want 21 pages?

[slate swan]

no xd i mean , i want the bot to detect how much data is in the table and separate it into embeds

[silk fulcrum]

by 10?

[slate swan]

Yes i want every page to have 10 values but i want the bot by itself to detect how many pages to make

[sick birch]

You’ll have to implement the logic yourself, there’s no automatic way to do it

[slate swan]

Oh well...

[silk fulcrum]

!e py rows = 21 pages = rows // 10 + (rows % 10 != None) print(pages)

why would you define rows
@slate swan that's example

did I ping right person?

[slate swan]

where's rows being used?

[silk fulcrum]

at Chroma's problem

with separating items into embeds

by 10

[slate swan]

smh

Ok i'll take a look

[unkempt canyon]

@silk fulcrum :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[silk fulcrum]

forgot to put rows into logic, just did 21 instead of it..

[limber bison]

!createvc 1h or 1m or 1s

how can i get there times as input ?

[silk fulcrum]

also @slate swan do you somehow probably in some world know why my slash commands do not appear?

[slate swan]

is there a missing access error in your terminal?

[silk fulcrum]

no

no errors

checking logs

also no errors

[slate swan]

did you make sure that there are no illegal characters in your slash command name/parameters/description

[silk fulcrum]

yes, I checked at there were only english letters

[limber bison]

@silk fulcrum master hel

[silk fulcrum]

im not hell

[limber bison]

help 😳

[robust snow]

@silk fulcrum show me your code

[silk fulcrum]

😳

[slate swan]

idk I have all the reason in my gist and i sent you that so im out of options

[silk fulcrum]

sadge :(

[robust snow]

I'll give you a hand 🙂

[cloud dawn]

Have session in he class scope. ```py
class ...:
session: aiohttp.ClientSession

[silk fulcrum]

sure..

[cloud dawn]

Also add with_app_command=True inside the hybrid command

[silk fulcrum]

that didn't help with slash commands not appearing(

[cloud dawn]

hidden is also not a valid kwarg unless you do something with the constructor.

[silk fulcrum]

oh okay

still does not appear as slash command

[robust snow]

does self.tree.sync work?

[slate swan]

it's set to True by default

[silk fulcrum]

i guess?

[crystal glen]

Ummm. My bot suddenly stopped working

It does say that it's online

And it does the tasks.loop

[slate swan]

check if it does

c = await tree.sync()
print(True if c else False)

[silk fulcrum]

False

[robust snow]

Cool, what's the copy_global_to function doing?

[silk fulcrum]

idk

[robust snow]

if you replace the copy_global_to with sync

[slate swan]

then it isnt syncing anything 😔 rip

[robust snow]

and await it

[slate swan]

@silk fulcrum can I see the surrounding code to where you sync?

[silk fulcrum]

wdym?

[robust snow]

if you could paste it plain text so I can run it locally

that would be 🔥

[crystal glen]

I can't use any command on my bot

wtf is happening?

[silk fulcrum]

uhm, this is setup_hook, if that's the code you want

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        self.session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
        # Hybrid commands set up
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=980346257371455528))
        await self.tree.sync()

        for extension in initial_extensions:
            try:
                await self.load_extension(extension)
            except Exception as e:
                print(f'Couldn\'t load {extension}.', file=sys.stderr)
                traceback.print_exc()```

[crystal glen]

And I get 0 error

[robust snow]

do some debugging with print()

[crystal glen]

I went AFK for an hour, And the bot isn't working

It was great before I left

[silk fulcrum]

@crystal glen

[crystal glen]

I restared 10 times

so I add await bot.process_commands(message)

[silk fulcrum]

yes?

[robust snow]

Is this the first time you're running it for prolonged times?
Is it possible you haven't accounted for a certain situation which errors

[slate swan]

ok master

[crystal glen]

Yes

Yay now it's working

[silk fulcrum]

that prooves another time that im 100000 times dumber than all peo...

it worrrksss

[slate swan]

🗿

[slate swan]

oh wait you're 13, I sound like a pedophile nvm

[silk fulcrum]

LMAO

[slate swan]

Guys i keep getting banned from using the API for too many requests and idk how to reduce it 😭

reduce your calls

[slate swan]

boi what the hell boi🚔

[pliant gulch]

Are you using repl.it to host your bot?

[slate swan]

Atm yes, but I don’t use it for all my projects. It’s just easier to set up programs on it (fast prototyping)

[pliant gulch]

That'll probably be the cause of your API bans

[slate swan]

Could you explain why?

[pliant gulch]

Per cluster in repl.it they share IPs among them

So since API Bans are IP based, if someone else got ratelimited

So do you

[slate swan]

Ah okay

But let’s just say the api ban was because I did have too many request

How do I reduce that like I don’t really know what counts as a request if I’m being honest with you

[pliant gulch]

Most if not all coroutine functions will be an API call

A common example is fetch vs get

get_channel is a regular function or more correctly termed a method (since it's bound to your client or guild)

fetch_channel is a coroutine function, you call it then await it

Awaiting usually signifies something as an API call since it usually is done to request

get_channel grabs from an in-memory cache, just a dictionary

And fetch_channel does a request to channels/:channel_id

[slate swan]

Oh okay, what about listeners and such?

[pliant gulch]

As in bot.listen?

[slate swan]

Yeah

[pliant gulch]

There is no ratelimit for those

bot.listen, bot.event and the a-like all work using gateway events

[slate swan]

Ah okay that’s good

[pliant gulch]

But the caveat comes from whats inside your event callbacks

Say you do 1 request in an on_message callback

[slate swan]

Gotcha

[pliant gulch]

Depending on how many messages are sent per it'll do a lot of requests

So keep that in mind when trying to reduce API requests

[slate swan]

Yikes

[pliant gulch]

Not hard just be conscious of what your doing, and you'll be fine

[slate swan]

I’ll use if statements and such to limit and decide when I want to request something through message events

[pliant gulch]

Sure, but you also don't have to be that afraid of using requests

Currently the GLOBAL ratelimit is set to 50/1s

So you can do 50 requests a second

I don't think your passing that amount rn I just think it's due to repl.it

[slate swan]

Time to use asyncio.sleep 😎

[slate swan]

Alright

[limber bison]

how can fix a commad to a single channel

????????????????????????

[tough lance]

Check if ctx.channel.id is same as the specific channel id

[solemn igloo]

@bot.slash_command(name="register", description="Registers your server into the database")
@application_checks.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def register(interaction):

  servermembercount = len([member for member in interaction.guild.members])

  id = interaction.guild.id

  with open('guilds.json', 'a') as f:
    json.dump(id, f, indent=4)

  embed = nextcord.Embed(
    title="Guild Registered!", 
    description=f"Your guild has been registered into the database!\n > **Server Owner:** {interaction.guild.owner.mention}`{interaction.guild.owner}`\n > **Server Members:** `{servermembercount}`",
    color=0xffffff
  )
  embed.set_author(name=interaction.guild.name, icon_url=interaction.guild.icon.url)

  await interaction.send(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)```

i created a random choice generator and want to have it run in discord by a text command, what information should i be looking into, to do this?

so far i can make my bot talk, but am struggling in finding information on having it run a normal python script lol

it doesn't need to do anything complicated, it just needs to be told something like "random" and then i want to run a script that has already been wrote and works, then display the results in discord channel

[silk fulcrum]

put {} as the content of file?

[robust snow]

You add the random function within the script

that starts your bot

[oblique root]

then i can have to bot just print the results?

[oblique root]

you're saying that the script itself can run in the same script as the bot? then just tell the bot to print results?

[silk fulcrum]

I dont get the problem

[robust snow]

If you pass the return of the random function into a message, something similar to

message.channel.send(f'{random_function_return}')

[silk fulcrum]

Do you just want a command?

[robust snow]

A "script" is just a file, you can have multiple functions within a script, that can all use each other if need be

[oblique root]

i'm using pycharm and i have never made anything outside of the main.py, are you saying that both can operate in the same? i'm not great at the terms, i am very new to this and just trying to help out a group i moderate for haha

[robust snow]

Yes

[oblique root]

thank you!

[robust snow]

Within your main.py you can declare multiple functions that do different things

[oblique root]

i dont know why i thought that would not work

i am really new to the bot stuff, had messed with kivy before and when i would try to add certain things in, it would mess it up, so i assumed the same.

[robust snow]

declare a function like
async def random_generator():
-> do some things here
return something

and call it within the script using random_generator()

[silk fulcrum]

await then

[cold tide]

Function that deletes a bots message?

[silk fulcrum]

I did not understand that conversation, but ok

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.Message.delete

[robust snow]

What's the qustion?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you need the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[cold tide]

just been answered
