pretty basic atm

[silk fulcrum]

lol

[onyx aspen]

I don't really understand any of it tbh

it just goes over my head

[slate swan]

no model folder?

[silk fulcrum]

but you have to

[onyx aspen]

ik but I dont

[slate swan]

[silk fulcrum]

then what do you want?

[slate swan]

cause no models yet

[onyx aspen]

that's why I asked here if someone would be able to help explain it?

[swift pumice]

what explain

[slate swan]

pigeon, how experienced are you with python?

[slate swan]

but you have a PartialUser/Base obj?

[onyx aspen]

not very tbh...

[silk fulcrum]

!resources Do i send it?

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[onyx aspen]

hm?

[slate swan]

i didnt even notice that i commited it lol

[silk fulcrum]

and pushed

[slate swan]

yeah, sadly

[slate swan]

tehe, maybe i can help you with model implementation👀

[slim grotto]

How can I cancel a command from executing through on_command?

@bot.event
async def on_command(ctx):
  if ctx.invoked_with == ...: # Meets some condition
    # cancel command from executing

[silk fulcrum]

wtf im scrolling page up but it returns me back to where i was

[slate swan]

ngl, the events are inspired by hikari
except for the single time listeners

[slate swan]

I'd really appreciate that

[slate swan]

sure ill help when you make base objs etc

[onyx aspen]

was this for me?

[silk fulcrum]

yes

[slate swan]

yeah im working on The RESTClient rn

[slate swan]

alright honey

[onyx aspen]

so what do I do now?

[silk fulcrum]

learn python?

[onyx aspen]

all I need to know is this one question and I'll be on my way

[scarlet aurora]

#databases

[onyx aspen]

can I use this: https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#slash-command-application-with-a-bot

[silk fulcrum]

wdym? you need to use this to learn how to use slash commands?

[onyx aspen]

mhm

I already have a bot

I'm just confused on how to integrate the slash commands

[austere vale]

PreviousButton = nextcord.ui.Button(emoji:id=1006237375938179142)

could someone help me format buttons correctly? im just trying to set the button to the ⬅️emoji

[sick birch]

You can pass that in as a string to the label kwarg

[scarlet aurora]

#databases anyone?

[slate swan]

why doesn't my bot have a description even though i entered one?

[austere vale]

does anyone know what this error means?

[sick birch]

You may be on an older version of python that doesn’t support this type

[austere vale]

how do i upgrade to the latest version of python?

[scarlet aurora]

#databases anyone

[paper sluice]

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[sick birch]

It heavily depends on your OS/package manager. Windows and MacOS, I honestly can't tell ya. On linux, you'd just upgrade the package with your package manager as you would any other

One good thing about Arch is I don't have to worry about updating my Python, it's always bleeding edge 😄

[paper sluice]

you use arch no gui?

[scarlet aurora]

#databases

[sick birch]

bspwm

[paper sluice]

ohh, nice

[slate swan]

i use windows vista

[slate swan]

from __future__ import annotations 

list[discord.Embed]

# or,

import typing 

typing.List[discord.Embed]

updating python would be the best choice

yeah iirc __class_getitem__ was impl in 3.9

how do i define it?

[paper sluice]

you need to install the library then import it

!pip aiohttp

[cerulean solstice]

ohk

[paper sluice]

python doesn't wanna respond ig
https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp/

[slate swan]

!pypi aiohttp

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp v3.8.1

Async http client/server framework (asyncio)

[slate swan]

you possess a skill issue

kinda funny how edited is shown

[cerulean solstice]

does not work so what should i do?

[paper sluice]

its like you possess skill issues

[paper sluice]

huh?

[cerulean solstice]

it isnt installing

[slate swan]

or maybe python doesnt like you

[cerulean solstice]

how do i install it

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp v3.8.1

Async http client/server framework (asyncio)

[slate swan]

💀

took an hour😭

[paper sluice]

bro it responded now. wtf

[slate swan]

how did it got delayed so hard😭

[paper sluice]

it says it right there

[cerulean solstice]

ohk wasnt loading for me

[pliant gulch]

Why do you need to install aiohttp

Aiohttp comes with discord.py

It's a dependency, just import it

If you didn't have it installed and actually did import you'd get ModuleNotFoundError but your getting a NameError here meaning you never even tried importing

[scarlet aurora]

#databases anyone I've been waiting for 2 hours

[left idol]

did i mess up on the format for this? i'm not even getting any options showing up when i type the command
``async def poopingtest(ctx, class_choice: option(str, 'Class choice', choices = classes_list)):`

also tried with capital Option

[limber bison]

2,0 is shit , why i dont able to reload tha same name cog with extra commands

why

[slate swan]

Tried earlier got this message for some reason :/
Do note: I'm using Visual Studio Code.

[glad cradle]

have you added your python path to your environments variables?

[slate swan]

uhhhhhhhhhhhh e

!dashmpip

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

??

[vocal snow]

well, do you?

[slate swan]

I installed git

[vocal snow]

and did you add it to PATH?

run git --version and see

[silk fulcrum]

where does it say about PATH

[vocal snow]

??

[mossy jacinth]

how can i make a mute command like dyno? That it gives the user a timeout?

[slate swan]

if that runs, its added to PATH ~

[silk fulcrum]

ohkay

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.10)").

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit "discord.Member.edit").

[silk fulcrum]

im too late(

[mossy jacinth]

thanks

[silk fulcrum]

I was thinking of it but I decided to check in docs if that is time_out or timeout

[limber bison]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned or (config["prefix"]), intents=intents ) why my prefix dont working?

[slate swan]

its disable_communication_until at API level

[limber bison]

?

[slate swan]

commands.when_mentioned_or(configs["prefix"])

[limber bison]

why this or ?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when\_mentioned\_or

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)```
A callable that implements when mentioned or other prefixes provided.

These are meant to be passed into the [`Bot.command_prefix`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix "discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix") attribute.

Example

```py
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('!'))
```...

[slate swan]

because that's the function, or in python is different

[mossy jacinth]

how can i make it that its automatically minutes? and not 0:00:00?

[tame raft]

does import discord still exist?

[slate swan]

???

[white aurora]

yes

[grim oar]

just use seconds attribute of timedelta and divide by 60

[grim oar]

Yes, have you installed dpy

[tame raft]

whats the command to install it?

[grim oar]

pip install discord.py

[tame raft]

oh

i forgot

ty

[grim oar]

👍

[cold sonnet]

please install 2.0

[tame raft]

@grim oar

[cold sonnet]

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[grim oar]

Bruh where are you running it

[tame raft]

wdym

[grim oar]

The command

[tame raft]

terminal

vsc terminal

[cold sonnet]

pip isn't on your path, you'd have to search the pip folder in your python folder and add it to path

or use python -m pip

python or py is most probably on your path

[tame raft]

how do i add it to the path

[mystic star]

you probably need to use a virtual env

[cold sonnet]

you don't even have python...

[tame raft]

i do

[cold sonnet]

ctrl + shift + p
in vsc, then "select python interpreter"

what does it show

[tame raft]

lemme check

[tame raft]

no matching commands

[cold sonnet]

what

ok then

[tame raft]

what exactly do i do after ctrl shift p

[cold sonnet]

do as the terminal said and run
python

[tame raft]

i dont understand

[slate swan]

How can I add choice to slash command as user id?

[swift pumice]

which ide is that?

[slate swan]

looks like pycharm to me

[swift pumice]

oh ok

thanks

[silk fulcrum]

it's 100% pycharm

[slate swan]

yeah

[vale wing]

From what I remember it's "Python: Select Interpreter" and seems like vsc command pallet search is not smart

@tame raft just reinstall python but put the Add Python to PATH checkmark when installing

[cold sonnet]

😭

[tame raft]

yh thx, i did that

it worked

[vale wing]

👍

[mossy jacinth]

why can I still type? I dont have any perms or other roles

[vale wing]

His name is very sus doe

[vale wing]

Permissions issue

Probably like everyone role has explicit send message perm set to true

Also look at the underlines and pay attention to the recommendations, they'll make your code better

Pycharm is so great for improving code style imho

[slate swan]

😍

😳

[royal meteor]

I am making a ban command for my bot, and I realised when I manually try to ban somebody, I can give a reason and a Delete Message History option. How can I implement the same feature so the bot specifies it?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.ban

await ban(*, delete_message_days=1, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Bans this member. Equivalent to [`Guild.ban()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.ban "discord.Guild.ban").

[slate swan]

reason is the reason for ban

@royal meteor

[royal meteor]

thanks

[smoky cedar]

How do people adequately test discord bots (automation wise) without the ability to allow a bot to create a server?

Just having a test server and cleaning up data each time?

[slate swan]

What do ya mean?

[smoky cedar]

I have a bot with slash commands, I want to test the slash commands in an automated fashion, E2E, instead of manually

I guess I could unit test the methods without issuing a slash command but then is there a way to mock an interaction object? Or would you just have a bot issue slash command to itself?

[night crater]

is this REST or WS based?

[slate swan]

@night crater is your pfp ashley rosemary?

[night crater]

No comment

[slate swan]

I'm pretty sure it is 😳

[night crater]

And how would you know that 👁️

[slate swan]

[sudden crypt]

how can i get the ids of which user joins the server

well, do you have an except anywhere?

If I remember correctly you cannot have a try without an except block

[slate swan]

are you using replit

you're ratelimited

[gusty shard]

oh

that makes more sense

how can i prevent it?

[slate swan]

iirc replit uses shared IP's so it could've been some other person spamming the api

[sick birch]

Not using replit

i bought yearly plan

damn

[gusty shard]

can you recommend some cheap hosting sites?

[frail mesa]

Hello, anyone that could offer advice?

I have a Discord bot that was made a very long time ago. I know the password as I use the same handful for everything, but I cannot for the life of me remember what email I used. Is there any way at all to find out what this is, or is my only option remaking the bot?

I do still have access to all the code, as it is hosted on Repl.it

[sick birch]

The discord bot should be tied to your account, should it not?

Can you log into your account on the development portal?

[frail mesa]

It is tied to a unique account made for the bot, not my account

[sick birch]

Ah okay. If you forgot your email I don't think there's a way to reset it, you could try contacting support

[frail mesa]

gotcha, this is what i figured. I suppose it wont be too much of a hassle to just copy/paste the code into a new bot, just annoying

or actually, if I make a new bot, all I would have to do is change the token, yea?

[slate swan]

Does anybody know how to setup a keyauth system with a bot is it easy?

also hi robin idk if you remember me

[smoky cedar]

Can you enable searching / typing in the placeholder part of a discord select field ?

[smoky cedar]

We talking about discord here lmao

[frail mesa]

Ok so I'm just stupid, it was connected to my account lol, thats why i couldnt find the email

So it seems my bot has been temporarily banned because of rate limit. tried resetting the token to make sure it wasnt just an error, but yup, same errors

How do I go about fixing this? I'm not even sure how we could be exceeding rate limits, the bot has nothing but text commands

[sick birch]

Are you using replit?

[frail mesa]

yes

[limber bison]

await client.wait_for('message', check=check , timeout = 10) ??

is this ok ? error !!!

[sick birch]

What's the error?

[limber bison]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: loop attribute cannot be accessed in non-async contexts. Consider using either an asynchronous main function and passing it to asyncio.run or using asynchronous initialisation hooks such as Client.setup_hook

😳

@sick birch sir ?

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[cold sonnet]

docs don't say anything

[cold sonnet]

mind sending the traceback?

[zealous jay]

Is there a way to have an empty embed title? In this image I tried using \u200b that's supposed to be an empty character but It still renders that empty space

[slate swan]

Why not use an embed field instead?

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining. Can only be up to 25 fields.

[zealous jay]

oh

I forgot

[slate swan]

It's okay

Could discord ever end up having guild ids or role ids over 19 integers?

No right? That's the max a database cold hold w a BIGINT?

[sick birch]

they can be strings

[limber bison]

can i reload bot vai commands

?

[smoky cedar]

How to add a role if they don't already have, and remove it otherwise? (IE a toggle)

Is there a clean / abstract way without doing checks on the user? In discord py

[lone lichen]

If they have role:
remove it
else:
give it

[pale turtle]

You can reload all cogs if that's close enough

[mossy jacinth]

Hey! My mute command should setup a muted role with that the user cant write messages anymore and it should setup the channels but it doesnt and i can still type with my alt account, i have no permissions, the bot has permissions to everything

[mental hollow]

Issue: My help command does not respond whatsoever and I also get no errors.

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[mental hollow]

I have all intents enabled :)

It’s only my help command that doesn’t work, all other prefixed commands are functional.

[sick birch]

Ah, good to know. Got any error handlers?

Also looks like your help command is indented inside of the Help constructor

[mental hollow]

Yep, I have a events cog for all my command errors. None are returned though.

[mental hollow]

Yeah, it’s a cog?

[sick birch]

Right, the issue is because your command is indented inside the constructor, so discord.py never picks it up

[mental hollow]

All cog commands are supposed to be indented into the cog class, no?

[sick birch]

Commands within cogs should look like so:

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, ...) -> None:
    ...

  @commands.command()
  async def my_command(self, ctx: commands.Context, ...) -> None:
    ...

not like this:

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, ...) -> None:
    ...

    @commands.command()
    async def my_command(self, ctx: commands.Context, ...) -> None:
      ...

^ which is what yours looks like

[slate swan]

for some reason the system thinks "import discord" isnt valid. (it was fine earlier)

You're running it in the REPL mode

[smoky cedar]

I have a bot with a select field that needs to go over 25 options. Can anyone send me a good guide of a decent solution maybe involving paging and buttons?

[sick birch]

Selects natively can hold 25 options, if I'm not wrong

[radiant wing]

How do I check for HTTP exception 429 specifically with try, except?

[smoky cedar]

Correct, what's the best way to bypass this?

Including buttons to page right?

[sick birch]

Ah, you've got more than 25 options?

[smoky cedar]

Yes hehe

[sick birch]

Hm. Might be better to just have a user input a number to select something, instead of a full on select/button pagination thing

[mental hollow]

Aaaaaaa, I've been trying to fix this for just about 2 hours 😂. Thank you very much :)

[mossy jacinth]

can someone help me‫ please?‫

[smoky cedar]

The number of options can theoretically grow very high, I want to avoid the scenario of having a giant message

Basically, the bot allows server members to follow artists on spotify. Then it pings new releases to those who are assigned to the role it created. People can self-assign roles for the server's followed artists through the select menu at the moment

[sick birch]

Right, okay. No good guides for this sort of thing as it's pretty complex, but what you can do is edit your current view with a completely new view that looks identical, except the select options are different, the next 25 in your list

So say you had a select with options 1-5, user presses the "next" button, edit the message with the same view, but options 6-10, etc

[smoky cedar]

And how to reach that new view? The press of a button?

[sick birch]

Yeah, you'd handle that inside of the button press callback

[smoky cedar]

Any idea what's going on here?

Including that line makes offset an unresolved variable

[novel kelp]

Any idea about putty ?

Like if want to edit something on awe I need to reupload right ?

[fading marlin]

is offset defined in your global scope?

[smoky cedar]

This is a function within a method, and offset is defined above it yes

Like if I do this

offset = 25

async def page_select_forward(ctx: discord.Interaction):
  if offset == 25:
    view.add_item(prev_button)
    select.options = select_options[offset:offset+25]
    offset += 25
    ctx.response.defer()

Basically, trying to add 25 to offset is causing that error

otherwise, no error

[fading marlin]

ah, yes, offset is in your global scope, and you're trying to change the value of a global scope variable in a local scope variable. You can't do that. You have to make offset global inside your local scope.
You can still access global variables inside a local scope, hence why everything was alright until you added the offset += 25 bit

[sick birch]

If it's inside of a view or button subclass (which I suspect it is), you can bind it to self and access and write to it

[mental hollow]

in pycharm you would just recheck for all errors and scan all packages again

no clue abt vsc

How to check how many servers the bot is running on every 5 minutes?

[sick birch]

Make sure you've got a MySQL server running on that machine and port, port forward if you have to. Configure your firewalls to let any packets in, make sure your username/password and any other authentication is correct

Better suited towards #databases. I myself have never worked with mysql

Make sure you've got message_content intent

[sick birch]

Might want to want until the bot is ready, see this example straight from the docs:

from discord.ext import tasks, commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.index = 0
        self.bot = bot
        self.printer.start()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    async def printer(self):
        print(self.index)
        self.index += 1

    @printer.before_loop
    async def before_printer(self):
        print('waiting...')
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

[south tundra]

do this?

intents.message_content = True

[sick birch]

Right

[south tundra]

still doesn't work :/

[magic ore]

you don't pass the intents to the bot constructor

bot = Bot(..., intents=intents)

[south tundra]

ohhh

wait what?

import random

import discord

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()

intents.members = True
intents.message_content = True

client = commands.Bot(intents.message_content = True, intents.members = True,command_prefix='!')

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{client.user.name} has connected to Discord!')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author != client.user:
        if 'randomnumber' == message.content:
            embed=discord.Embed(title="Random Number!", description=message.author.display_name + ", your random number is " + str(random.randint(0,1000)), color=0x8bc34a)
            await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
    await client.process_commands(message)

client.run("")

[mossy jacinth]

How can i make it so it only sends the message once only? Either when member is None or; when time is None

[south tundra]

liike this?

[magic ore]

no, exactly how i showed; intents=intents, not intents.members=True

[deep osprey]

should I add the code after on_ready ?

[magic ore]

(the latter is invalid syntax)

[south tundra]

intents.members = intents
intents.message_content = intents
```?

im sorry im dumb

[sick birch]

intents.members = True
intents.message_content = True

then you'd pass in intents into the constructor, nothing special

You're instantiating a class, changing properties/flags, whatever you want to call it, then passing the same class into the bot's constructor

[south tundra]

this should be it then right?

intents = Intents.default()

intents.members = True
intents.message_content = True

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!' + intents)

[sick birch]

!resources I think learning python itself can only help you, because right now it seems more of a hindrance. I don't mean to turn you away, but put discord bots on hold for a little bit as they're complex and require a good bit of Python knowledge

@sick birch

[smoky cedar]

Can I have a prefix command redirect to a slash command, just by passing in the interaction object and manually calling the method?

[sick birch]

Slash commands need to be directly invoked by the user. You can try to invoke the handler manually, but you'll have to manually pass in the arguments

[sick birch]

No, this one is seperate from on_ready. Just use wait_until_ready

[deep osprey]

inside the @task?

[sick birch]

Right, see how it's done in the example. Do just like that.

[deep osprey]

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.index = 0
        self.bot = bot
        self.printer.start()

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.printer.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    async def printer(self):
      numofservers = len(bot.guilds)
      activity = discord.Game(name=f'Watching {numofservers} servers',         type=1)
      await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=activity)

    @printer.before_loop
    async def before_printer(self):
        print('waiting...')
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()``` should be this?

[sick birch]

That should cut it, make sure to change the names because "printer" is not an appropriate name for your method's usecase

[deep osprey]

seems doesn't work, I added the bot to a server and waited for a minute but nothing changed.

[slate swan]

@deep osprey why did you define bot in your Cog file again, you need to use self.bot wherever you need to acess the bot inside a cog class

[deep osprey]

ok I did that but the same thing

@slate swan @sick birch so any solution?

[silk fulcrum]

you are literally checking if user_id is NOT in jar and then if it is NOT it jar, you're trying to get it...

[pulsar solstice]

hmmm...
I don't have idea what are u talking about?
can u give me the code sample

like what u actually mean

[silk fulcrum]

hmmm... im talking about your code

if user_id not in jar:
jar[user_id]

[pulsar solstice]

how to fix it?

[silk fulcrum]

don't do jar[user_id] when it's not in jar?

[pulsar solstice]

then if it's not in jar i need to store it right?

[silk fulcrum]

if you are trying to set jar[user_id] to something, then do jar[user_id] = something

[pulsar solstice]

ohhh ic ic let me try it

[silk fulcrum]

not jar[user_id]["cookies"]=0

[pulsar solstice]

can u set something value to 0?

[silk fulcrum]

you can set something to whatever you want

[pulsar solstice]

Master how can I add or subtract something's value?

[silk fulcrum]

so you got jar[user_id] = 0, right?

[pulsar solstice]

no

jar[user_id] = cookies=0

i did this

[silk fulcrum]

that will not work

[pulsar solstice]

ok done fixed i

it*

[silk fulcrum]

jar[user_id] = {"cookies": 0} this would work

[pulsar solstice]

how can i add/subtract cookies's value

[silk fulcrum]

+= operator
like jar[user_id]["cookies"] += amount

or -= for subtract

anyone knows how can i make a login system; eg. login for a custom role that has some unique perms

[silk fulcrum]

you've already set your jar[user_id] to 0 before, and since you are not rewriting it you are trying to get ["cookies"] from 0, not from {"cookies": 0}, so you'd better go to your json file and just clear it (make it's content {})

[silk fulcrum]

what do you mean login system?

[rain olive]

if you mean requiring a password to get a certain role, you can do this via a Modal, this exists in both hikari and d.py

under the callback, have it check if the response == password, then use the add_role method, that is in your library

[silk fulcrum]

Don't call your code that many times

its happening on line 125 whenever you process an answer. What lines 121-125 are essentially doing right now is the following: ```

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[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**...

[cursive barn]

@slate swan you are calling a function from inside itself, this causes an infinite loop

you need to restructure your code a bit to prevent that

[lone lichen]

@slate swan read this and use check argument instead of the if clause and recursing function afterwards and

[cursive barn]

thats not the error you have. you need to fix the recursion first

[vale wing]

Nested function 😔

[cursive barn]

most of them

[lone lichen]

Read the docs for wait_for and you will see that u can completely avoid recursion

[cursive barn]

something like this to get you started @slate swan ```py
async def check_input(message: discord.Message) -> bool:

Conditional statements, return either True for valid response or False for invalid response

answer = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check_input)

Continue processing answer value

notice I placed the two lines on the same indentation level, meaning the wait_for is not called inside of the check_input function, which will prevent the infinite recursion error

[lone lichen]

^

[lone lichen]

What u did is completely different from this

[lone lichen]

Pls read this

[cursive barn]

okay, so you are stilling calling it from inside itself.
Your code has to change more than one line

[lone lichen]

U messed it up because you don’t understand how to use the method because you refuse to read the docs

[cursive barn]

you have to rethink your approach and I provided a hint to get you on a good path for doing so

your check_input function is going to just do logic for you. like a filter. outside of that is where the rest of your code is.

[silk fulcrum]

anyone?

[cursive barn]

segregation is really useful in your code in moderation. There is a point where it becomes too much, but a little never hurts.

It helps keep your code clean, organized and easy to read, which in turns allows people to assist you more easily, makes it easier to find errors and troubleshoot. If you have 30 things going on in one function, there could be 30 things wrong. 3-4 or even 7-8 things in one function makes it super easy to pinpoint issues.

copy_global_to(*, guild)```
Copies all global commands to the specified guild.

This method is mainly available for development purposes, as it allows you to copy your global commands over to a testing guild easily.

Note that this method will *override* pre-existing guild commands that would conflict.

[cursive barn]

iirc a couple days ago you were asking for help with a project that violated Discord ToS, so while I would love to help you - I am going to refrain from doing so as to not further assist you in your endeavor

[silk fulcrum]

what???

[lone lichen]

discord.Object only has an id, you need a discord.Guild object

[silk fulcrum]

project that violated Discord ToS,

what is violating Discord ToS? Hybrid commands?

[slate swan]

what;s the full exception?

[silk fulcrum]

aight, ig I'd better put it here: https://hastebin.com/ogebefewol.sql

[slate swan]

the method takes a snowflake, which is anything with an id attribute

[lone lichen]

Nvm I read the whole question wrong

[slate swan]

seems like the bot is not logged in yet, so it does not have an application ID, try syncing in an on_ready or something ( just to test ) to see if that helps

[lone lichen]

Do it in constructor

Or there is new method

[silk fulcrum]

Could you then please say what did I try to do, that violates ToS, because if I actually did, I will remove it. I didn't mean to break ToS and don't want to, I'm completely against it

[silk fulcrum]

ok

[slate swan]

yep and if thats not the case, somethings wrong with your commandtree, you might have some incomplete commands like an empty describe or something

[silk fulcrum]

Now it does not say anything (just literally nothing in terminal)

    async def on_ready(self):
        # Hybrid commands set up
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=980346257371455528))
        await self.tree.sync()
        
        print(f'{self.user} is ready. Loaded {", ".join(self.loaded_extensions)}')```

[slate swan]

not even the print?

[silk fulcrum]

nope

just complete emptyness

[slate swan]

hm check your app commands.then

[silk fulcrum]

wdym?

[silk fulcrum]

wait, empty describe... I guess in like 3 minutes I'm gonna say I'm super dumb

[vale wing]

There's no if

Use normal IDE for syntax errors highlighting

Pycharm or vsc

[silk fulcrum]

Yeah I'm dumb, I did not provide description for one option in describe
It was sooo long tho, I already thought it won't print anything as last time.
But there's still a problem @slate swan I added self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=980346257371455528)), so slash commands would work only on test server, but they also work on second server where my bot is, I thought they'll be removed from it automatically, or that doesn't work like that?

[vale wing]

Tf is that

That looks like sublime text to me

[silk fulcrum]

~~ sublime is probably even worse~~

[vale wing]

Ofc, I have no idea why people even use it as code editor. They say "plugins". What's the fricking purpose of plugins for literal text editor when you can use a normal IDE

Anyway this is not #editors-ides

[silk fulcrum]

I was using it only because I only new about it, when I heard about vsc I was like hjdsgfjashd what is this? why's it so good?

[lone lichen]

Send ss of full code

[vale wing]

Just google, try and see

[lone lichen]

It aint, It’ s Microsoft

[vale wing]

Redefinition of builtin 😩

[lone lichen]

Whats that else doing there?

[vale wing]

Name it obj man why'd you redefine internal class

object is builtin

The class from what everything inherits

[lone lichen]

Rename it to obj

But that aint the major issue

U dont know?

Yes

😂 It’ s floating there without an if

[slate swan]

hey guys, im wondering how i can send a message to a user when they join my server via my bot, tried searching all over he place and i still have no idea how to send a message to the user when they join

[lone lichen]

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

discord.on_member_join(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") joins a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

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

[lone lichen]

Use this

You gotta know what ur tryna do first

[cursive barn]

instead of using if-else statements, you can just use the @commands.has_role check decorator

@commands.has_permissions

[lone lichen]

Yes but there are multiple ways to fix it, the most simple one would be to deleta all the code but thats not what ur trying to do

[cursive barn]

I would suggest reading through the documentation a bit to get a feel for what you can do. Its a great reference material

when i started using d.py like 6 years ago I was infuriated at the number of people that told me to "rtfd" - but I can honestly tell you it was the best thing for me to do. It helped me seriously improve the quality of my code more than school or tutorials ever did

[lone lichen]

U should probably read python docs first

[cursive barn]

isn't that just a port of d.py

it should have the same basic functionality, maybe called something else

[silk fulcrum]

fork

yes, it's almost the same

big differences are starting in slash commands

[lone lichen]

It’ s helpful to learn python syntax and oop and bit of asynchronous programming before making bots

[slate swan]

can you use client.event to send a message to a member?

[lone lichen]

Wdym

How are u picking winners

[cursive barn]

@slate swanit took roughly 38 seconds to find

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[paper sluice]

its better to send your code in codeblocks or use the pastbin service

[slate swan]

ik u can use a command to send it but idk about an event

[lone lichen]

I kinda like screenshots

[glad cradle]

you can send message to members inside an event, but you can't literally use @client.event to send message to members

[lone lichen]

You can send a message to user when event is triggered

[slate swan]

oh ok

with that ctx thing?

[lone lichen]

Nope

With whatever arguments event has

What are u trying to do?

[slate swan]

i just want a welcome message for my members when they join through dms

[lone lichen]

Use on_member_join listener

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

discord.on_member_join(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") joins a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

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

[lone lichen]

Click on this and read the docs for it

[cursive barn]

@slate swanctx is shorthand for context which is whatever context a command is invoked with.

an event usually has very specific arguments and values passed to it, for instance on_message gets passed a discord.Message object.
Likewise, a on_member_join event gets passed a discord.Member object.

so to answer your question, yes you can send a message inside of an event function, but how you go about doing so varies depending on the event you put it under

[lone lichen]

Whats users?

[cursive barn]

what would the point of a try/except if you just pass over the error.
If you are having trouble with something, it might be better to raise the error to better figure out where things are breaking

we aren't going to hand you every solution to every problem you encounter. That will not help you at all. We are here to give you hints and point you in the direction of a solution so that you can arrive there on your own and retain the pathway. The only thing learnt from spoonfeeding is a dependence on others to do everything for you.

I said it might be better to raise your errors to pinpoint where your code was breaking, and I also said that the try/except is just passing over the error. Can you try to figure out what you might need to do from that?

[bright grail]

how to make a bot using python can anyone help, I am a beginner.

[placid skiff]

discord.py and relative forks are not beginner friendly

[slate swan]

they don't get removed automatically, you can remove the using bot's http methods or raw requests

[bright grail]

pin any resources to learn about making a bot for a beginner

[bitter karma]

I also want to make discord bot!

How can i build?

[placid skiff]

start with this https://www.guru99.com/python-tutorials.html

[glad cradle]

learn python basics, OOP and a bit of asynchronous programming

[tired fern]

i keep getting this error "discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "ban" is not found"

I get it whenever i try the: clear , ban , kick command

[bitter karma]

I know python but i want to know a platform where i can start to make a bot

[bright grail]

👍

[bright grail]

me too

[gentle crescent]

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

[cursive barn]

could be a lot of different things, I would start by checking your code to make sure function names and aliases are matching what you are trying to use. If the commands are in a cog file, I would make sure the cog is being loaded properly.

[placid skiff]

There isn't any plaltform where you can learn d.py or any other forks from what i know
There is just the documentation and the example on github, that's all you need

[bright grail]

is d.py a discord bot?

[placid skiff]

[bright grail]

🥲

[bitter karma]

😂

[placid skiff]

d.py (discord.py) is the API wrapper for the discord API

[bright grail]

heheh, see i am compltely new.

but now I have all the basis of python covered, now I wanna make some real stuff.. something of use

[placid skiff]

bruh i don't develop in js

[bitter karma]

I am getting this error

🥲

[bright grail]

hi all , A quick newbie question

[silk fulcrum]

this is python server 💀

[cursive barn]

this is the python server mate, and on top of that this is for discord.py related questions. We don't answer js questions

[placid skiff]

i can't help you, and this channel is for discord bot in python

[bitter karma]

😅 ok

[bright grail]

so to make a Bot I have to first go through Gurru99 ?

[cursive barn]

no, thats just a link for a tutorial

[bitter karma]

What is gurru99?

[placid skiff]

to make a bot you need to know Python basics, asynchronous programming, OOP concepts and how to read a documentation

[silk fulcrum]

no one knows last

[cursive barn]

a quick rundown of python basics. There is a getting started guide on the discord.py rtd once you get going

[bright grail]

I already know 70-80% of tutorial there on guru99, so what's the next step after this , if I intend to make a bot

[placid skiff]

see? Filet does

[bright grail]

Gotcha

[placid skiff]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#getting-started

[silk fulcrum]

Well, I also do, that was like a joke...

[placid skiff]

[silk fulcrum]

Filet did not answer my question. Which means he... uhm no... im too garbage at jokes

[bright grail]

I would like to appreciate everyone here. I have been on discord its been like just 2-3 days and guys here are awesome and very helpful

[slate swan]

Anyone know if you can add indents in webhook embeds?

[placid skiff]

\n

[slate swan]

not through python

[placid skiff]

uhm so wdym?

[slate swan]

adding a space

like so
Hello?
Yes

it doesn't seem to add the spaces

[placid skiff]

try with an invisible character

[slate swan]

ah it works with them

[cursive barn]

sorry for the late response but I just had to add something -
I started my python career in the d.py server. Anytime you asked a question there, you got the same answer rtfd. It was such a popular response that they actually had a tag for it and just blanketed it on every help channel. I learned really quick to think for myself and work through my own problems. To analyze what I was doing and why I was doing it. Formulating routes to get me from point A to point B.

When I got to this server I vowed to try my absolute hardest to teach people the methods I acquired through learning on my own, while not discouraging them with a simple rtfd which had been done to me so many times. It tends to work pretty well but every once in a while you get someone that doesn't want to spend 2-3 minutes looking at documentation to understand why its not working or how to make it work.

[robust fulcrum]

Guys any command idea for my bot?

[cursive barn]

If I could tell anyone starting out programming or with discord.py or anything, it wouldn't be learn python basics first, or any of your typical answers. I would simply help them learn to think like a programmer. Once you have that skill, everything else falls into place. You learn how to learn and how to apply the knowledge you learn to your code, anything you want to do after that is just building on that foundation

(my apologies for the rant - tl;dr trauma + persistence + brain = good stuff)

[silk fulcrum]

interesting

[vale wing]

/nerdify

[vocal snow]

If they aren't ready to take the effort to learn python basics and read documentation, what makes you think they're going to be ready to learn how to think like a programmer 🙂

[silk fulcrum]

im glad i've learnt all this (except rtfm) from my dad (idk how but when I just saw docs I started to read them...)

[robust fulcrum]

Whats purpose of this command?

[vale wing]

I learned python thrice

[cursive barn]

my favorite thing to make in discord has always been a leveling system. Not really so much a command but a network of commands. Built one for a popular youtuber once that used an AI based entirely on Harry Potter novels and the Lord of the rings to grade messages and reward varying amounts of xp based on that grade

[vale wing]

It turns you into nerd 🤓

[robust fulcrum]

Whats nerd?

[silk fulcrum]

mine is economy

[cursive barn]

two sides of the same potato really

[silk fulcrum]

economy has work :lemao:

[crisp thunder]

does pycord/discord.py send newlines?
context.respond("y\nNewline")
should be

y
Newline
``` or

y\nNewline

just a quick question
Cant afford to test it atm

[silk fulcrum]

at least for me

[vale wing]

How does it utilize AI

[silk fulcrum]

yes

itworks

[crisp thunder]

which one

[silk fulcrum]

1

[crisp thunder]

alr thanks

[cursive barn]

I had it read random sentences from all the books and analyze different characteristics like vowel count, character/word frequency, word/character count, how many diffrerent subjects there were, predicates and prepositions and all sorts of stuff to train it. Then it would examine a message and evaluate it against the baseline values from the novels and the grade was an 100% - the variances for each characteristic

[vale wing]

Interesting

[cursive barn]

it also doubled as a surprisingly good spam filter 🙂

used the same logic later on in a email program

[vale wing]

I have one bot with AI the purpose of which is the antispam lol

[cursive barn]

AI is pretty sweet once you get the hang of it

[vale wing]

What method of text vectorization did you use if you have

[spare urchin]

can i use nextcord.channel for slash commands in nextcord??
if not what can i use for getting channels in slash commands nextcord??

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.Interaction.channel

The channel the interaction was sent from.

Note that due to a Discord limitation, DM channels are not resolved since there is no data to complete them. These are PartialMessageable instead.

[spare urchin]

no not that

[vale wing]

Then what exactly do you mean

[paper sluice]

When embed not in cache lol

[vale wing]

Permissions v2 or smth

[cursive barn]

I think I used a combination of transfer learning and tf-idf

[vale wing]

Ah just typehint the argument with nextcord.TextChannel

[spare urchin]

ok..

[vale wing]

Tf-idf is the best method imho lol

That's pretty cool

[cursive barn]

thanks 🙂

[vale wing]

In my antispam bot I use unique characters/words amount with total amount of characters and words and it works fine

[cursive barn]

I like to go overboard

[slate swan]

Guys im getting an unknown interaction error for a slash command im using in nextcord and this shit got me confused as hell

[vale wing]

Recently I tried text generation with tensorflow but it smoke grass with saving the model and I don't have nvidia GPU so it takes a while

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how can I make leveling system in dpy?

I want to use sqlite for database

[slate swan]

Leveling for what specifically?

[robust fulcrum]

Leveling system like many bots have

Messages one

[slate swan]

Oh messages

[vale wing]

You will need a database with table with scores and table with levels

[cursive barn]

the basic concept is pretty much just ```
1: Receive Message
2: Get Author of Message
3: Create/Add XP to Record of Author in Database
4: Command to Query Database and see XP for user

^ That is extremely oversimplified, but a good starting point to help you visualize what needs to happen

[slate swan]

Oh y'all doing messages a lot different from how I'd approach it

[cursive barn]

what kind of error? not familiar with nextcord but I might be able to help nonetheless

[silk fulcrum]

4: Check if user has enough to level up
5: If yes, give them next level

[silk fulcrum]

what's your code?

[slate swan]

I'll send what the beginning and ends of it look like

Don't mind the ctx: Interaction field btw

I moved from discord py a while back and I didn't feel like changing the variable to interaction

[silk fulcrum]

Send how you define the slash command that causes that error, like

@bot.slash_command(name="yes")
async def _yes(ctx, *args):```

[slate swan]

@client.slash_command(name="rostercheck", description="Provides a roster report for every registered franchise", guild_ids=devGuildid)
async def rostercheck(ctx: Interaction):

[slate swan]

Ik

[robust fulcrum]

I can do this all but problem is with the cooldown

[silk fulcrum]

hm, what line raises an error? or just send full traceback

[slate swan]

The error triggers where I try sending a embed I created

[silk fulcrum]

what is the problem?

[vale wing]

Just have a dict with user ids as keys and datetimes as values

[slate swan]

Btw the embed is fine before u ask, becuase i wasnt given an "invalid fields" or whatever it's called

[silk fulcrum]

can you please send full traceback or line where the error appears?

[cursive barn]

maybe keep a dictionary of {userID: time of last xp reward} to start with

[slate swan]

I'm getting it rn

[silk fulcrum]

no, CooldownMapping exists

get bucket, store in Counter

[vale wing]

Pretty sure internally it is still a dict lol

[slate swan]

await ctx.response.send_message(embed=embedyes)```

[silk fulcrum]

well.... it's better)

[slate swan]

I'll show the embed as well

[robust fulcrum]

I want like on typed message and he got 5 exp so i want he gets 5 seconds cooldown and then if he send message he gets 5 exp

[vale wing]

Just higher level implementation of the same thing functionally isn't always better but I am not arguing as I never saw its source

[silk fulcrum]

I see

[slate swan]

                embedyes = nextcord.Embed(
                    title="Franchise Ownership Report")
                embedyes.add_field(name="Claimed Franchises", value=normteams2)
                embedyes.add_field(name="Open Franchises", value=freeteams2)
                embedyes.add_field(name="Abandoned Franchises", value="[WIP]")
                embedyes.set_footer(text="Abandoned Franchises just means teams that HAVE MEMBERS on them but without an FO")
              
                await ctx.response.send_message(embed=embedyes)```

All the variables were checked and doesn't invalidate the embed

[silk fulcrum]

bruh my nextcord docs aren't loading

[slate swan]

There isn't much different from nextcord and discord

Most of the stuff is the same

Just changed name

[silk fulcrum]

hmm, seems valid, idk

[slate swan]

Me neither 🤷🤷🤷🤷

[robust fulcrum]

How would i do it?

[slate swan]

Everything was going smoothly and now I'm getting some "unkown interaction" bullshit like what??

It's literally under the same async def function

And everything else with it

Wait holdon I might know

@silk fulcrum are you experienced with how slash commands work?

If you are Is there like time limit before slash commands are immediately invalid after imitating the command?

[silk fulcrum]

So, if you are using a cog, that'd be easier cause you can define something like self.lvling_cooldown in __init__ method, but im not sure where is it better to put lvling_cooldown if you are not using cogs. So what you do is you define lvling_cooldown = commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.user) (1 is messages and 5 is seconds of cooldown) and in on_message you get message bucket like this bucket = lvling_cooldown.get_bucket(message), then you check if there is a rate limit, like this if bucket.update_rate_limit(message.created_at) and if yes, then the user is on cooldown and you do not give him anything

[silk fulcrum]

I thought about Counter, because I used it to count user's messages and autoblock if they're spamming

but here Counter is not required

[silk fulcrum]

hm... probably

[vale wing]

That still uses a dict (confirmed) https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/ext/commands/cooldowns.py#L95

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ext/commands/cooldowns.py line 95

self._cache: Dict[Any, Cooldown] = {}```

[slate swan]

Because I have a feeling that's what might be happening

[vale wing]

Except as values they use some custom class

[slate swan]

I used asyncio throughout the code a couple times

Imma try sleeping the code for 100 seconds

And see if it invalidates early

[silk fulcrum]

Who cares, it's already done and most likely faster then something you will create yourself and also it looks good)

[vale wing]

To your preference

[slate swan]

@silk fulcrum yeah there's defintly a time limit on it 😂

[silk fulcrum]

ok

[vale wing]

But as for "faster" I could argue

[slate swan]

I mean I guess it makes sense

But like I did it to prevent api bans

So it sucks that slashcommands do that

[vale wing]

Don't underestimate my nanoseconds obsession 😈

[tired fern]

When i try to ban someone it gives me this error

1 of these:

• member that you are trying to ban has a role that's higher in hierarchy than bot's role
• this member is admin or owner of the server

how to use a varibale from an if condition to another one ?

@silk fulcrum can you help please ?

[silk fulcrum]

w what?

[silk fulcrum]

wdym use variable from an if condition?

[slate swan]

if ........ :

elif (and i want to use a variable from the if) :

is it possible ?

[silk fulcrum]

but what is variable from the if

variable cannot be defined in if

well, technically it can.. by if var := something

but are you really using that?

[slate swan]

no a varibale into the if

[silk fulcrum]

I don't get you

[slate swan]

ok ok i'll try to declare it before

!e

if (mas := "uwu"):

yeah

[paper sluice]

you dont even need the parens here

[placid skiff]

she has used too much javascript

[vale wing]

Literally any language that uses braces for if conditions

[placid skiff]

yup but lil ash use javascript

[short relic]

its like use the tokens generated from a random system to create accounts to login for a special perks

[slate swan]

Any command suggestions?

I’m out of ideas💀

[silk fulcrum]

!d secrets.token_urlsafe

[unkempt canyon]

secrets.token\_urlsafe

secrets.token_urlsafe([nbytes=None])```
Return a random URL-safe text string, containing *nbytes* random bytes. The text is Base64 encoded, so on average each byte results in approximately 1.3 characters. If *nbytes* is `None` or not supplied, a reasonable default is used.

```py
>>> token_urlsafe(16)  
'Drmhze6EPcv0fN_81Bj-nA'

[silk fulcrum]

this is for generating tokens

[silk fulcrum]

warning sys, verification sys

[short relic]

ok so how about signing up an account with that token

[silk fulcrum]

you want user to log in using their token? not password?

[short relic]

hol up how can i use token_urlsafe in discord python

[silk fulcrum]

!e ```py

[silk fulcrum]

This error happens when you put leading zero in decimal

[silk fulcrum]

just remove () from @bot.event

that's how it works

[short relic]

oh ok

[short relic]

when i dont have the required roles it say this

[silk fulcrum]

you cannot use MissingRole as a method, it's an exception, so just commands.MissingRole

[short relic]

oh ok

async def on_command_error(ctx):

so its only this?

[silk fulcrum]

no

I did not mean that you have to remove error

you compare it, so that was right

[short relic]

understand

[silk fulcrum]

Method is function for class so I meant that you can't use (), and even more pass something in them

it should be just commands.MissingRole

without brackets and id

hey uhm what's the color code for blending in the sides of embeds

[heavy folio]

!d isinstance

[unkempt canyon]

isinstance

isinstance(object, classinfo)```
Return `True` if the *object* argument is an instance of the *classinfo* argument, or of a (direct, indirect, or [virtual](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-abstract-base-class)) subclass thereof. If *object* is not an object of the given type, the function always returns `False`. If *classinfo* is a tuple of type objects (or recursively, other such tuples) or a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union) of multiple types, return `True` if *object* is an instance of any of the types. If *classinfo* is not a type or tuple of types and such tuples, a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") exception is raised.

Changed in version 3.10: *classinfo* can be a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union).

hey uhm what's the color code for blending in the sides of embeds

[slate swan]

To pass error

[silk fulcrum]

I don't know how, I said to not use 0 at the start of decimal, that's what error says

[slate swan]

I say for @short relic

[silk fulcrum]

no that's not what should happen

!d discord.Embed.color

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

x == y Checks if two embeds are equal.

New in version 2.0...

is Reply considered as message ?

[silk fulcrum]

yes

[slate swan]

but when i try to do it with a on_message event

it don't respond

[silk fulcrum]

in dpy reply information is inside message.reference

[silk fulcrum]

wdym it does not respond?

code?

[slate swan]

no

wait i'll show you

this is a message, so the event happens

[silk fulcrum]

hm why not

[slate swan]

but when this is sent

the event dont happens

[vale wing]

No clue but I remember having issues with that thing too

[silk fulcrum]

well this is reply to message

If you don't need async support you can just use eval, if you do need it then tell me

[slate swan]

a command like that

[silk fulcrum]

your on_message code contains more than 2000 symbols?

[slate swan]

yep 🙂

how

[silk fulcrum]

!paste well anyways this exists

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[slate swan]

yep

[vale wing]

One sec ima give you the example

[slate swan]

@silk fulcrum i deleted the not important things on the code

[vale wing]

Bro use listeners and split it into several functions, pretty sure you are just doing a lot of stuff linearly

[slate swan]

can you explain more , because i don't understand english much

[vale wing]

Oh damn looking at this code I see so many bad things but no worries ima tell you about them

[vale wing]

You can use translator

[slate swan]

i used

[slate swan]

ok thanks

but really it works

tha only thing that doesn't work is on reply

[vale wing]

1. There are naming conventions you are not following at all. Google PEP 8 and see, or use some smart IDE with linting to find them "interactively"
2. Don't use time.sleep in async functions, use await asyncio.sleep
3. Instead of doing lots of concatenation, just use f-strings

!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.

[vale wing]

This is just some

[slate swan]

is there an simpler one-

[vale wing]

What is db.remove(smth == smth), you are basically removing a boolean

[vale wing]

Only with no async support

[slate swan]

in the course that i seen , they used + in variables addition, without this f and {}

[slate swan]

2- ok

[slate swan]

does it work without async support

[vale wing]

Yeah

[slate swan]

tell me hhow

[vale wing]

Just use exec()

[slate swan]

plezx

[vale wing]

Or eval

[slate swan]

how to send the result and err

[vale wing]

That's only possible with eval (or with my implementation)

[heavy folio]

you can see danny's implementation https://github.com/Rapptz/RoboDanny/blob/rewrite/cogs/admin.py#L214-L259

[vale wing]

Mine is shorter 😀

[heavy folio]

okay well thats just for reference

mines much longer but handles output in different ways

What laptop should i get ? Anyone have recomendations?

[short relic]

how can i make it so that if they use the command =redeem(code) then they will have some perks

[silk fulcrum]

wdym perks

[short relic]

like special roles or something else

just like that

[silk fulcrum]

uhmm ctx.author.add_roles

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

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, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[silk fulcrum]

to give special roles

[short relic]

wait but can i do

@bot.commands()
async def redeem(ctx, code):
       if code.content == "":
            ctx.author.add_roles(...)

[heavy folio]

you'd generate some code for them and this to add roles to them <#discord-bots message>

[silk fulcrum]

why code.content

just code

[slate swan]

I have !clear command but for some reason i get rate limited due to this command. Does someone know why this happens?

[heavy folio]

show ur code

[slate swan]

sum() takes at most 2 arguments (7 given)
how can i sum more then 2 args

[slate swan]

!d sum sum takes an iterable not different arguments

[unkempt canyon]

sum

sum(iterable, /, start=0)```
Sums *start* and the items of an *iterable* from left to right and returns the total. The *iterable*’s items are normally numbers, and the start value is not allowed to be a string.

For some use cases, there are good alternatives to [`sum()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#sum "sum"). The preferred, fast way to concatenate a sequence of strings is by calling `''.join(sequence)`. To add floating point values with extended precision, see [`math.fsum()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html#math.fsum "math.fsum"). To concatenate a series of iterables, consider using [`itertools.chain()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.chain "itertools.chain").

Changed in version 3.8: The *start* parameter can be specified as a keyword argument.

[slate swan]

!e

print(sum((1, 2, 3, 4,)))```
