[slate swan]

Thats not event...

And see my code

Don’t use list for 1 integer unless there’s multiple owners

@client.event
async def is_owner(message):
    owners = [493928382, 59293858]
    if message.author.id in owners:
        return owners

well, bot.http.add_role(g_id, u_id, r_id)

[burnt mural]

Is it possible to make a personal disc bot that tracks the messages that pings me?

[slate swan]

event?

[hushed galleon]

an esoteric way to override the is_owner method

[slate swan]

was referencing generally not just about adding and removing

[slate swan]

yes ofcourse it is, given that the bot needs to be in server ure getting pinged

[hushed galleon]

not sure why you replied to my message about roles, but even then the performance impact between an integer and a list of one int is so negligible you wouldnt notice

[slate swan]

yeah i get that but you can just pass owner_ids kwarg in Bot constructor for the same

[hushed galleon]

thats what i said too

[slate swan]

also iirc it was commands.is_owner, Bot bot.is_owner

*not

[hushed galleon]

demonstration: ```sh

py -m timeit -r 5 -n 1000000 -s "n = 966318461582213121" "n == n"
1000000 loops, best of 5: 12.9 nsec per loop

py -m timeit -r 5 -n 1000000 -s "n = [966318461582213121]" "966318461582213121 in n"
1000000 loops, best of 5: 14.3 nsec per loop```

[sacred merlin]

Oh, I see now. Sorry

[sacred merlin]

Thanks, I got it. 🙂

[last latch]

hey i am making a currency system with discord.py and json
i get this json error json.decoder.JSONDecodeError : Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

[fickle sky]

uhmm the meme cmd is kind of late responding to the

command

is there anything to fix this delay?

[vocal snow]

You should be using aiohttp instead of requests

Or another async http client

As for the delay, is the meme api slow to respond?

[vale wing]

Don't use json as a database (very easy)

[acoustic pendant]

I mean why not if it is just gonna be a small project

[vale wing]

Sqlite is good for small projects

anyone here?

[pale turtle]

Basically this ig

[pearl shoal]

we cant warn members?

[vocal snow]

Well that doesn't exist since discord doesn't have any concept of warns

[pearl shoal]

we cant do warns dpy?

[vocal snow]

Never said that

[pearl shoal]

then?

[vocal snow]

I said discord doesn't have any built-in warn system

As such, there is no permission called warn_members

[pearl shoal]

hm so what to do?

[pale turtle]

Make some system of your own with db

[vocal snow]

You could use some other permission

[pearl shoal]

k

[vocal snow]

like kick_members

[pearl shoal]

alr used

and btw can we do

        await member.ban

smth like this?

[vocal snow]

Check the doc for discord.Member and see

[pearl shoal]

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

[glossy flame]

so theres something wrong with the token

[slate swan]

you got ratelimited from the discord api

[glossy flame]

what does that mean

[shrewd apex]

go to shell type kill 1

[glossy flame]

ok

[glossy flame]

how did that happen and how do I prevent it

[shrewd apex]

prevent it by not using replit

[glossy flame]

epic bruh moment

[slate swan]

and making less requests in your bot, maybe you're the reason for the ratelimit idk

[slate swan]

1. not use replit
2. control the amount of requests (if replit, this does not matter)
   Optional: kiss asher

[shrewd apex]

umm no thank you already feeling awful

[glossy flame]

well I use replits always on to keep it alive

[slate swan]

😔 relatable, even I got a cold

[slate swan]

that's why you dont use it to use it

[maiden fable]

What if u r a discord dev 👀

And have the internal test build

[glossy flame]

eh

[maiden fable]

remove one .datetime

[sick panther]

Not sure if it's more suited for here, or #databases will ask it here first:

So, I'm trying to insert some values into my *.db folder, but for some reason it's using my "your_description" argument as column. So if I lets say use /register your_description="hello" it tries to access "hello" as column from my table. I'm not sure how to fix that

@bot.slash_command(description="Database testing.")
async def register(inter, your_description: str):
    Cursor.execute(f"select * from userregistration where userid='{inter.author.id}'")
    if str(Cursor.fetchall()) == "[]":
        Cursor.execute(f"INSERT INTO userregistration (userid, timestamp, description) VALUES({inter.author.id}, {round(datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp())}, {your_description});")
        Connection.commit()
        await inter.response.send_message("Successfully registered! Please use '/profile' to view your profile.")
    return await inter.response.send_message("You are already registered.")

[glossy flame]

is it too many of these

[shrewd apex]

thats a mess

[glossy flame]

is that why my bot god ratelimited

[shrewd apex]

no that's the uptimerobot

[glossy flame]

oh well I don't use that anymore

[sick panther]

It is 😔
Just trying to get it to work

[glossy flame]

I use replit always on

[slate swan]

how the hell do you know its uptimerobot asher🗿

[glossy flame]

why did I get ratelimited tho

[slate swan]

even if that, a bot doesn't have a warn_members permission

[silk fulcrum]

!tag itworks

[shrewd apex]

seen before in this channel

[silk fulcrum]

bruh always forget(

[slate swan]

imagine

[silk fulcrum]

pass_context 💀

[slate swan]

ratelimits are made to prevent the attacks like ddosing/flooding a service

[slate swan]

I'm tired of living already

and this

[shrewd apex]

don't use f string with SQL and u can just do if not cursor.fetchall()

and i don't think u need the ;

[glossy flame]

so ratelimits happen to everyone?

this hasnt happened to me before

[sick panther]

How would I go about inserting the author id, and the timestamp? Can I simply use it without f strings, or would I need to store it in a variable?

[slate swan]

no its an implementation in this case, a per discord API endpoint

[shrewd apex]

also make sure u are using an async db

[slate swan]

async driver*

[tidal hawk]

check examples on internet

[glossy flame]

explain in stupid people terms

[shrewd apex]

depends on what db u are using coz the they have slightly diff syntax

[shrewd apex]

life too short for technical bs just explain in human terms :kek:

[slate swan]

imagine using cursor.fetchall 😔 why dont people just

d = await (await cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table")).fetchall()

[sick panther]

Sqlite3, as far as I understood it I will need to have the variables saved as tuple then?

[slate swan]

could someone show me a example code of a slash command please

[shrewd apex]

yeah use aiosqlite tho

[silk fulcrum]

will this work for mysql?

[shrewd apex]

similar syntax

[slate swan]

it should, never worked with it

[shrewd apex]

aiomysql

[sick panther]

What are the advantages?

[silk fulcrum]

runs changing queries

[tidal hawk]

await cursor.execute(f"select * from userregistration where userid=?" , (inter.author.id, ))
OR
await cursor.execute(f"select * from userregistration where userid=%s" , (inter.author.id, ))

[shrewd apex]

ITS ASYNC

[slate swan]

why does everyone say explain in "stupid terms" i already am😭 , im joking, theres buckets that handle requests from a client which when depleted in a certain time frame discords API wont handle any more requests as you already have depleted the bucket which ratelimits are dynamic per endpoint of discords REST API

[silk fulcrum]

spoiler: no one knows what does async mean

[sick panther]

I'm aware of that, but how would it significally make a change

[slate swan]

it runs on the event loop and passes tasks to the event loop so the event loop manages and achives concurrency

[shrewd apex]

multiple people can use the command at once

[silk fulcrum]

bruh I'm starting to want even more to switch from mysql to asyncpg

but that'll be hard(

it has those pools(

[slate swan]

you dont like swimming?

[silk fulcrum]

(I can't swim)

[drowsy prairie]

Can I call from Python to async without async?

[slate swan]

sad

[silk fulcrum]

!d asyncio.run

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.run

asyncio.run(coro, *, debug=False)```
Execute the [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-coroutine) *coro* and return the result.

This function runs the passed coroutine, taking care of managing the asyncio event loop, *finalizing asynchronous generators*, and closing the threadpool.

This function cannot be called when another asyncio event loop is running in the same thread.

If *debug* is `True`, the event loop will be run in debug mode.

This function always creates a new event loop and closes it at the end. It should be used as a main entry point for asyncio programs, and should ideally only be called once.

Example...

[silk fulcrum]

yeah))

[slate swan]

it depends

[drowsy prairie]

"Asyncio.run" i can't use this right now. Is there any other way?

[paper sluice]

What are you trying to do?

[silk fulcrum]

why you can't?

[slate swan]

you can get the event loop and schedule a task

[paper sluice]

Call an async function inside a normal one?

[slate swan]

the only reason why you couldnt is because theres already an event loop created/defined

[glossy flame]

I think ik why I got ratelimited

[paper sluice]

Cool

[slate swan]

⭐shared internet protocols⭐

[glossy flame]

my bot has multiple @bot.listen()

[glossy flame]

o

[slate swan]

thats a dpy abstraction, so parsed payloads get passed to certain namespaces/functions

[glossy flame]

I spent 9 minutes googling every word you said in that sentence and I still don't get what you meant

[whole sparrow]

    @commands.slash_command(description="Purges an amount of messages from the text channel")
    async def clear(self, ctx, amount : int):
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=int(amount + 1))

How do I remove "Application did not respond" Error to this command?

[slate swan]

respond to the interaction e.g send an ephemeral message

[torn sail]

respond in someway, ephemeral probably is best

[slate swan]

[whole sparrow]

Alright coolio, thanks guys

Also, does disnake reload=True work for you guys>?

Its stopped working for me once i upgraded disnake via pip

[glossy flame]

ok idc abuut the details of all this api ratelimiting stuff

[silk fulcrum]

what permissions must user have to timeout other users?

[glossy flame]

the fix to getting api ratelimited is typing kill 1 in the shell

[slate swan]

iirc manage_members

[silk fulcrum]

thx

[glossy flame]

is there any way to make it automatically do this

[slate swan]

youre welcome my fren

[slate swan]

you can use os.system

[silk fulcrum]

🫂

[glossy flame]

yes im familiar with that

[slate swan]

some people just have error handlers and use os.system so python kills the container

[slate swan]

❤️

[glossy flame]

Ok

[slate swan]

and then they run another script that runs the main one its a mess lol

[silk fulcrum]

I guess this is the most powerful..

[slate swan]

yes

[glossy flame]

i heard of that before

someone in replit discord told me to do that

they said, "ALL THE PINGERS I LINKED WORK, THERE IS AN ERROR IN YOUR CODE"

there was no error at all

[limber bison]

any shortcut for changing 100000 to 1,00,000

[glossy flame]

the pingers were just trash

[slate swan]

!e

print(f"{100000:,}")

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

100,000

[slate swan]

theyre only possible in f strings lol

[glossy flame]

what the actuall hell

[limber bison]

got it thaanks

[silk fulcrum]

python nether

[slate swan]

✌️

[glossy flame]

no

I am python heaven

[limber bison]

how can i create 50:50% on two statrmrnts

statements

[vocal snow]

what does that mean

[limber bison]

hmm

got it thanks

like my approch will be

x = random.randint(1,2)
if x==1:
#do this
else :
#do this

any other option ?

[limber bison]

@vocal snow

i this good ?

[swift pumice]

!e
print(f"{100000000:,}")

[unkempt canyon]

@swift pumice :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

100,000,000

[slate swan]

you can use match case trees or dicts

[slate swan]

#bot-commands

[limber bison]

any link so i can read it more !!

[swift pumice]

ok

[limber bison]

whats trees DSA ?

data science algo ?

dicts will be a good option

hmmmmmmmm

[slate swan]

theyre just named like trees but its just there structure lol

https://learnpython.com/blog/python-match-case-statement/

[limber bison]

o thanks

will this type of reconects affect my asyncio.sleep fun ?

or cooldown ?

ands whats websocket ?

[slate swan]

nah it shouldnt

[slate swan]

a websocket is basically a socket for the web/TCP connection that connects with a handshake, when it connects it uses an HTTP request which then when the connection is establish you can send binary packets from server to client and vice versa due to bidirectional communication

confirm = await ctx.respond('Yes or No?')

response = await self.client.wait_for('message', check=lambda message:message.author == ctx.author and message.channel.id == ctx.channel.id, timeout=60.0)

if response.content.lower() not in ('yes', 'y', 'yup', 'sure', 'ok'):
  await ctx.respond('No')

else:
  await ctx.defer()
  #Long request here
  await confirm.edit_original_message('Done')

How do i properly defer after the user has responded with 'yes'? The request takes longer than 3 minutes so the response doesnt send.

[deep osprey]

Is this the way to check if the ctx.author is a specified user? py if ctx.author is "Test#1234"?

[slate swan]

its better to check the users snowflake/id

right now you're checking if a Member or User object is a string which would always be false

[silk fulcrum]

Can I pass some datetime into until param in timeout func so it will be not 3 mins or hour or 24 hours like those options, so like can I have my own amount of time to timeout?

[silk fulcrum]

because I just did that and it didn't work

[deep osprey]

is there a tutorial?

[slate swan]

its a simple if statement there wouldnt be any

[brazen raft]

For what are you checking if a context's author is a certain user?

[silk fulcrum]

is a string, not == 💀

[slate swan]

iirc you pass timedelta oh and the permission to timeout a member is moderate_members lol, just remembered

[silk fulcrum]

but it says that also datetime.datetime is possible

[slate swan]

mhm well im not sure, ive only worked with disnakes timeout lol😅

[brazen raft]

Remember you should be working with UTC aware datetime objects

[silk fulcrum]

ofc

[brazen raft]

So maybe try discord.utils.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=20)

[cold sonnet]

what's the point of that

if you can just pass timedelta

[brazen raft]

Right

[silk fulcrum]

Cause I have datetime object, do I format it into timedelta?

[brazen raft]

From where do you get the datetime object?

[silk fulcrum]

nvm im just dumbass

[slate swan]

why?

[deep osprey]

should I use this function? discord.Client.fetch_user

[slate swan]

you can compare ints?

if ctx.author.id == 0000000000:
    ...

[slate swan]

Any ideas?

[cold sonnet]

why would you defer

ctx should be a Context object, that's a naming convention

[slate swan]

argument naming

[cold sonnet]

confirm is a Message, you should use edit, not edit_original_message

anyways

isn't defer used at the start of the command

[slate swan]

its used to refer interactions

[cold sonnet]

InteractionResponse maybe

[slate swan]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[slate swan]

[cold sonnet]

hehe

typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later

like waiting for a message and sending one later

?

[slate swan]

nah

its like, hey i see you, let me do something, 5 mins later........ heyaaaa

[cold sonnet]

hey I see you, lemme wait for a message which you don't even know is happening, and then you get an answer

[slate swan]

not exactly, hence the word "acknowledged" you know it exists but you respond later on

Yeah but can i defer after the confirmation?

I tried at the start of the command and it doesnt work

@bot.command()
async def w(ctx, member):
    user = ctx.message.author
    role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="WHITELISTED")
    if role in user.role:
        await ctx.send(f"{user.mention} Already has the whitelist!")
    else:
        await user.add_roles(role)
    await ctx.send(f"{user.mention} is now whitelisted!")  

Does any one know why is not checking properly?

[cold sonnet]

if role in user.roles:

but why is user always the author

use member

if role in member.roles:
    #member is already whitelisted

[slate swan]

it would raise an attribute error

and you can hse ctx.author over getting the message instance and using its attr

[scarlet aurora]

#databases can someone help?

[limber bison]

elif mem_total == range(1001 , 10000):

i think you ment in?

[scarlet aurora]

[sick birch]

Please don’t cross post here. Wait for someone to come along and help

[limber bison]

oh got it but and will work op right ? mem_total > 1001 anda mem_total <10000

[scarlet aurora]

can you help?

[sick birch]

No, but just refrain from xposting

[scarlet aurora]

so you wont help me?

[grim oar]

okmi

[sick birch]

Not that I won’t, but that I can’t

[scarlet aurora]

oh ok

can someone help me in databases

[sick birch]

Just let someone help you, no need to ask in an unrelated channel

[scarlet aurora]

it's related

because it's sql in a discord bot

[sick birch]

Databases and discord bots are different channels, don’t ask for help on the other

It’s also off topic for this channel

[scarlet aurora]

I'm using mysql in my discord bot, therefor it is a relevant topic

@sick birch

[quaint epoch]

#databases would be better for mysql

even though you are using it for dpy

you need answers related directly to databases

[scarlet aurora]

fair enough

[cold sonnet]

no

this channel is especially for discord API wrappers, nothing else

and it's used in a wrong way so many times

[slate swan]

Nv

[slate swan]

this channel is for bot development, #965291516031549500 is for discord API wrappers written in python lol

[golden tapir]

my bot is sending 4 messagees for some reason

idk why

[cold sonnet]

rookie numbers mine sends 13

[golden tapir]

why does it tho

[slate swan]

❓

[golden tapir]

why does it send 4 messages when u say a commasnd

[slate swan]

you can have multiple instances of your bot running

[cold sonnet]

the more the muscle the more messages sent

[golden tapir]

for pycharm how can i fix it

[limber bison]

how can i convert ! 500seconds in min hr sec system ?

???????????//////

[cold sonnet]

😭

[paper sluice]

Close all the pycharm terminal windows

[golden tapir]

huh

wdym

[paper sluice]

When you run a file, there is a pop up terminal right

Just close those

[slate swan]

🤪

[golden tapir]

what do i do

[cold sonnet]

nsfw

[golden tapir]

no

[cold sonnet]

yes

[golden tapir]

ignore my code

[cold sonnet]

ok

[golden tapir]

fine someone wantedd me to make it

[silk fulcrum]

async def cmd(message) 💀

[golden tapir]

@paper sluice what do i do

[silk fulcrum]

probably close a running window

[cold sonnet]

it could also be an on_message listener with process_commands

doubt it tho

[slate swan]

bro thats the file name.......

😭

[silk fulcrum]

how

if it is I'm gonna neck myself rn

[slate swan]

wait, its not, i didnt see the .py

pycharm

im going to give master a stroke😭

[paper sluice]

There is a red box on the top right corner, click on it and terminate all processes and try running your bot

[golden tapir]

ok

[paper sluice]

At least it doesn't make you write lua, lol

[golden tapir]

that didngt help

[golden tapir]

that didnt help

[slate swan]

💀

[silk fulcrum]

bruh google translator translates stroke to russian two different names: to pet and insult (heart attack)

[cold sonnet]

do you have an on_message

[golden tapir]

no

[slate swan]

the definition gives you a whole stroke💀 😭

[silk fulcrum]

now in this sentce it translates it like "hatch"

google translator is complete trash

[cold sonnet]

why are you translating every sentence

[slate swan]

😭

[golden tapir]

no i dont

[silk fulcrum]

I didn't know the meaning of word stroke and tried to translate it but translator gave me all those stupid answers

but of the context ig it's heart attack..

[cold sonnet]

it's when heart go brrrr

[silk fulcrum]

but I have no heart

[paper sluice]

Welp, Oki dead

[silk fulcrum]

Oh wait, no it appeared after I saw okimii

[slate swan]

[cold sonnet]

just so you can have a stroke

biology is rude

[slate swan]

bro what

[golden tapir]

hey i dont have a on_message

[cold sonnet]

that sucks

[silk fulcrum]

maybe I should add breaking changes here

[slate swan]

make Changed to Changes

[silk fulcrum]

oh yeah

[paper sluice]

2021 💀

[silk fulcrum]

LMAO why not

[slate swan]

bro living in another time zone

i love how the whole sentence gives a stroke

[silk fulcrum]

good tz with diff in 1 year

[golden tapir]

guys how can i stop multiple instances and some people are asking do i have an on_messasge why?

[slate swan]

😭

[silk fulcrum]

omg I guess I had enough strokes for today

[slate swan]

ngl that day format reminded me of a socket endpoint for some reason

[silk fulcrum]

Is that funny or sad that so fortunate that I have problems with heart? 🥲

[slate swan]

kinda funny

[silk fulcrum]

yeah...

[slate swan]

[silk fulcrum]

bruh I wanted to tell joke about myself but it was too bad... ig...

[slate swan]

it probably wouldve been cheesy

[silk fulcrum]

Wait but changes is like the whole thing in one: added, removed, edited, e.t.c.

ooh but then I can use edited

[slate swan]

well yeah, it probably should be a resumed version of the whole paragraph so it should be at the top

[swift pumice]

ok banana, anyways i want that my bot changes his pfp every idk minutes, what line can i not cross like i dont want to get banned

do you guys understand what i mean?

[slate swan]

@slate swan what's rate limit for profile changes

it's definitely not big

I think it's 1 profile change every 10 minutes

[slate swan]

oof im not sure on that iirc its something like 1/10m

[slate swan]

that's what I thought too

[slate swan]

(edited) 👁️👁️

[slate swan]

I forgot to write the number

before

mhmmm🤔

why does this not work

i dont get any error but it still isnt working

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.

how to edit bot response ?

!ctx.responce

respnce

[cold sonnet]

you almost had it

you send the message like

await ctx.send("hello")

but you wanna edit it later so you save it like

message = await ctx.send("hello")
await asyncio.sleep(3)
await message.edit(content="hello but 3 seconds later")

is this against tos? i want to make a bot that notifies everyone in a private friend server when someone is playing a game in roblox and when they log off.

[glad cradle]

It's not against discord tos

[slate swan]

afaik its not againsts tos if its not automated/mass dming/advertising and follows ratelimits

is this new? https://discord.com/developers/docs/tutorials/hosting-on-heroku 👁️👁️

[last shuttle]

it won’t be mass dms, just eventual

[slate swan]

yeah youll be fine just follow ratelimits so your bot doesnt get ratelimited

[last shuttle]

i’ll have a rate limit of 5 sec

[slate swan]

remember ratelimits are dynamic per endpoint

[last shuttle]

how do you do rate limits in python? i only know njs

[slate swan]

i think 5 seconds should be fine

[slate swan]

you can use asyncio.sleep when iterating through the members

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

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

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

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

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

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

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

[last shuttle]

i could probably just use this in a while True loop right

[lilac shuttle]

how can i make my prefix @bot ?

[slate swan]

yeah but you would still need to iterate through the members so it would just iterate through the members forever

[last shuttle]

ok

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when\_mentioned

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned(bot, msg, /)```
A callable that implements a command prefix equivalent to being mentioned.

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.

>   Changed in version 2.0: `bot` and `msg` parameters are now positional-only.
> 
>

[last shuttle]

i don’t understand how to implement it correctly

[glad cradle]

wouldn't it be better to use a tasks?

[slate swan]

well if they want to check something every certain time frame yeah

[last shuttle]

how do i implement it

[slate swan]

you can iterate through all the members in a guild and try to send a message to them but have a try and except ofc

!d discord.Guild.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.members

property members```
A list of members that belong to this guild.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[slate swan]

!d discord.Forbidden

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Forbidden

exception discord.Forbidden(response, message)```
Exception that’s raised for when status code 403 occurs.

Subclass of [`HTTPException`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.HTTPException "discord.HTTPException")

[lilac shuttle]

it wont be like

shi sorry wrong place

[slate swan]

haha😅

[lilac shuttle]

discussing plans for a mc world

[slate swan]

ah nice

[last shuttle]

that would be if i was dm’ing people tho right

[slate swan]

yep

[glad cradle]

isn't the tag of task !d discord.ext.tasks?

[last shuttle]

what if i just want to send a message in a channel

[slate swan]

yeah, it doesnt work with the bot since its undocumented iirc so if you want the deco you would need to add .loop

[glad cradle]

😦

[slate swan]

you can get the channel from cache or fetch it from the api

[last shuttle]

how

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch\_channel

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

Retrieves a [`abc.GuildChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel "discord.abc.GuildChannel"), [`abc.PrivateChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.PrivateChannel "discord.abc.PrivateChannel"), or [`Thread`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Thread "discord.Thread") with the specified ID.

Note

This method is an API call. For general usage, consider [`get_channel()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel") instead.

New in version 1.2.

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

[last shuttle]

yeah i know how to fetch the channel but how to i rate limit with it

[slate swan]

pardon?

[last shuttle]

oh i was being vague

how do i rate limit with my bot

[slate swan]

i still dont understand😅

[last shuttle]

you said i should rate limit my messages so it isn’t against tos or something

[slate swan]

ahh, you can always just get/fetch the channel once if thats what youre asking about

[last shuttle]

.

how do i follow rate limits im so confused

[slate swan]

for which endpoint?

[last shuttle]

what’s an api endpoint i’m confused

if your asking what wrapper im using im using ro.py

[slate swan]

e.g to send a message in discord your client must make a POST HTTP request to discords REST API

its a url that redirects you to a server that has resources ig

[slate swan]

what

never heard of such wrapper in my life😭

[last shuttle]

ain’t a known one

[last shuttle]

roblox api

🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

well roblox does have an api yeah

[last shuttle]

https://presence.roblox.com/docs

that’s shows the end point i think

[onyx aspen]

is there a difference between class SlashClient and class SlashBot?

[frozen ruin]

Hi, can I ask someone some questions about hosting bots?

[slate swan]

#965291480992321536 is the more appropriate channel

[frozen ruin]

okay, thanks

[slate swan]

👍

[slate swan]

just the namespace if youre subclassing the Bot class it should be named SlashBot

[onyx aspen]

wdym? sorry- am dumb

[slate swan]

those are 2 different class names i suppose?

[onyx aspen]

im way beyond confused- please enlighten me

also- I cant get slash commands to work lol ><

[slate swan]

well youre asking the difference about 2 different class names, or?

[slate swan]

btw nice nana pfp, shes underrated

[onyx aspen]

I was looking at the gist for slash commands and didnt understand the difference between the two examples

[slate swan]

ah ash's gists, well one is subclassing discord.Client while the other is subclassing discord.ext.commands.Bot so the difference would be methods and attributes

[onyx aspen]

ah- I'll pretend like I understand

[slate swan]

[whole sparrow]

anyone experienced using aiosqlite in their discord.py projects?

[whole sparrow]

Whats wrong with it?

[onyx aspen]

it isn't adding any slash commands- or even responding when I send them

[whole sparrow]

and what are u using, discord.py, disnake?

[onyx aspen]

discord.py

[whole sparrow]

gimme an example slash command you wrote

[onyx aspen]

i was just in #help-avocado if you want to look at the code?

[whole sparrow]

also, check if your discord.py is updated

sure

[onyx aspen]

mhm- it is updated ^^

[whole sparrow]

yh i got nothing gl

💀

I had a similar problem but with disnake but i fixed it by updating it and setting intents

[slate swan]

anyone know why this doesn't work to add a role

        role = discord.utils.get(client.get_guild(ctx.guild.id).roles, id=vrid)
        user  = discord.utils.get(client.get_guild(ctx.guild.id).members, id=ctx.message.author.id)

[whole sparrow]

Also wrong bot was in the server 💀

[sick birch]

You can just use ctx.guild.get_role()

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

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

[frozen ruin]

haha thanks

[slate swan]

yw!

[frozen ruin]

It seems like I will have to learn something about git and github to host that bot

any batter suggtion for this command ?

[sick birch]

Definitely look into reducing nesting, especially by not putting everything inside of a try/catch block

[lone lichen]

What should it do?

[sick birch]

Also, consider extracting certain logic into their own functions

[limber bison]

hmm btw just asking will it affect bot performance ?

just asking

[sick birch]

No, it won't

[lone lichen]

No but it will make ur code readable

[limber bison]

ohh got it ,

will try to make it with batter logis

logics

[sick birch]

Good idea

[lone lichen]

Whats the command supposed to do tho?

[limber bison]

its just flip tha coin if u win your mony will 2* else lost everything

money*

[last shuttle]

how do you do rate limiting with messages

[lone lichen]

Like spam detection?

[sick birch]

Sorry? I'm not understanding. Do you mean like a cooldown on commands?

[lone lichen]

We will never know

[last shuttle]

yeah

[last shuttle]

not exactly, i’m making a ‘party’ bot for a private server between a few friends where it’ll tell everyone when someone is in a game and when they leave. i don’t want the bot to go over rate limits and etc.

[lone lichen]

U can just store messages in ram and wipe every x seconds and if there are n amount of messages stored from a specific user then they are spamming

[last shuttle]

aight

[visual island]

!custom-cooldown | this should also work

[unkempt canyon]

Cooldowns in discord.py

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

from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[sick birch]

Ah. Message rate limit is about 5 messages/5 seconds, so just stay within that and you should be OK

[last shuttle]

is there any way to detect a change in an api?

[lone lichen]

I dont like this cus u cant make exceptions with it

[sick birch]

Unless the API tells you, no. You can also poll

[last shuttle]

i was planning to use a while True: and just compare variables

is that what polling is?

[visual island]

why not

[zealous jay]

Hey does anyone knows if discord-ext-menus works with discord buttons instead of reactions?

[lone lichen]

Idk It’ s the way it works, I believe it says in the docs

But ik I tried it and I couldnt make it not warn admins

[visual island]

you can just check manually inside the on_message

[lone lichen]

It was long time ago so I don’t remember what exactly I had going on but i think I did that and it didn’t work

[last shuttle]

can i make a countdown on an embed

[visual island]

use timestamps

[lone lichen]

You can edit embed every second

[last shuttle]

that works

can i edit a specific part of an embed or does it need to be the entire one

[lone lichen]

Ig u have to edit the message and replace the embed each time

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

await edit(*, content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., suppress=False, delete_after=None, allowed_mentions=..., view=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

Changed in version 1.3: The `suppress` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited message is returned instead.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.10)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[last shuttle]

while True:
     # do stuff

 client.run(token)

would this work still? like would client still run

or do i need my while loop under

[visual island]

you dont need the while loop

client.run() will run forever

[last shuttle]

i need to do it for what i’m doing

client.run isn’t in that loop

nvm that, how can i make this work?

Tb = {1837, 2847}
for i in Tb:
    while True:
          #d

make a while loop for each key in the table

[slate swan]

it wont iterate through the other element tho

[last shuttle]

that’s what i’m trying to do

iterate through each item and make a while loop for each

[slate swan]

!xy

[unkempt canyon]

xy-problem

The XY problem can be summarised as asking about your attempted solution, rather than your actual problem.

Often programmers will get distracted with a potential solution they've come up with, and will try asking for help getting it to work. However, it's possible this solution either wouldn't work as they expect, or there's a much better solution instead.

For more information and examples, see http://xyproblem.info/

[last shuttle]

how do i ask this uhh

how can i make a iterate through each item in a table and make a while loop for each

my problem is that it only takes the first item in the table instead of both

[limber bison]

what affect the bot working most ?

is it long code ?

or bad code ?

or something else

[pale turtle]

What do you mean?

Affects it's response time?

[left raptor]

Is there a way to pipe the audio from my python script that plays audio files into my mic in a discord voice channel?

[limber bison]

How can I change second in min sec format ?

Like if i put cooldown , it retry after gives in seconds

I want to display it in min sec format

!datetime

!timedelta

Nope

#bot-commands

[smoky cedar]

I know how to limit a slash command's use to a certain role... but is there any way to make it not appear in the menu for people who aren't that role?

[sick birch]

https://discord.com/blog/slash-commands-permissions-discord-apps-bots

[mental hollow]

self.load_extension('app/__init__.py')

Would this successfully load my __init__.py file in my app directory?

[sick birch]

No, folders need to be seperated by a . and there's no .py extension

Also given your __init__.py has a setup function, yes

But an __init__.py file should not be used for this purpose

[mental hollow]

I’m using it for handling webhooks?

[smoky cedar]

Great article, thanks

Still trying to figure out if I can hide it by default through the bot for all servers or an admin must configure it

@app_commands.checks.has_permissions(administrator=True)
I have this above my command

[raven bolt]

can i define a specific prefix for an entire cog?

[golden tapir]

why did i get this error ?

[raven bolt]

show code.

[golden tapir]

ok

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
@bot.command()
async def start(ctx, message):
  user_message = str(message.content)
  words = ["money", "hello", "bot"]
  rng = random.choice(words)
  print(rng)
  await ctx.send("The game has started! I have generated a random word. You must try to guess it. Good luck!!!")
  if user_message == rng:
    await ctx.send("Congrats you have guessed the word. The word was " + rng)
bot.run(token)

@raven bolt

[raven bolt]

do you want it to go in the order of

!start

[golden tapir]

wjhat?

[raven bolt]

The game has started! I have generated a random word. You must try to guess it. Good luck!!!

and then the user guesses the word after the bot has said that?

[golden tapir]

i am just confused ab the error

[golden tapir]

yes

it generate a word after !start

[raven bolt]

yeah not how that works, you'll have to use the on message condition and set a flag that a game is currently ongoing

[golden tapir]

wat

[raven bolt]

per server per channel using a dict object or anything else.

[golden tapir]

i am confused

[raven bolt]

anyway probably because you just did !start

[golden tapir]

why am i getting the error

and how to fix

[raven bolt]

without specifying message.

do !start money

[golden tapir]

oh

i am using message

because i need to get the user message

[raven bolt]

ctx already gives y ou the context

[golden tapir]

how

[raven bolt]

use ctx.message.content

[golden tapir]

wow the discord bot channel; is a lot faster to gettinh help

it doesnt work

@raven bolt

[fading marlin]

what isn't working?

[slate swan]

you didn't include message

[golden tapir]

ok so i used ctx.message.content and i used it to chek if the user message is = to the random work

[raven bolt]

message is an argument to your command

[golden tapir]

i told the correct word but it didnt say the winning message

[raven bolt]

the only way you can use it is !start (message)

[golden tapir]

no

[raven bolt]

yes.

[golden tapir]

i fixxed that

[slate swan]

according to your code yes.

[raven bolt]

what's your code now?

[fading marlin]

ctx.message.content returns the entire message, not just a word

[raven bolt]

that's not how it works.

[golden tapir]

oh god

[raven bolt]

as i told you earlier

[golden tapir]

what did i do now

[raven bolt]

you'll have to set a flag that a game is ongoing, preferably in a dict object htat keeps track of ongoing games for each channel.

and then check in on message

[golden tapir]

i have no idea how to do that

[slate swan]

Seems like you probably want an on message listener

[raven bolt]

^^

[golden tapir]

but i only want it to check if u say !start

then you should be able to check

[raven bolt]

.

[golden tapir]

i am sorry

[slate swan]

then you'll need some type of flag like redd said

[golden tapir]

wdym flag

[slate swan]

like a bool

[golden tapir]

start = False
if message.content.startswith(!start)
start = True
if start  == True:
  #the start message

so like that

@raven bolt

@slate swan

[sick birch]

This is a command, you have to invoke it like:

!start <message>

but I'm guessing this is not what you want. You can get the message using ctx.message.content

!d discord.Client.wait_for If you want to get more input after the command, use this

[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**...

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    numofservers = len(bot.guilds)
    print("We have successfully logged in as {0.user}".format(bot))
    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f"{numofservers} servers!"))

@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def status():
    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f"{len(bot.guilds)} servers!"))``` the task doesn't work

[golden tapir]

would this code work?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.10)").

Example...

[slate swan]

😭

Mean

[slate swan]

sowwy

I just do
@bot.listen('on_message')

yeah but bot would be an instance of discord.ext.commands.Bot

I don't actually name it bot, just example

what👁️ 👁️

I never name it bot or client, anymore...

[slate swan]

like people do bot = commands.Bot

[rugged shadow]

Name your bot instance the_actual_instance_of_the_commands_dot_bot_class

[slate swan]

no

I just name it the bots username 💀

[drowsy prairie]

Which method should I use to include the number entered by the user in the variable?

[slate swan]

i name it
discordjs_Bot

😳

[slate swan]

wdym method?

[rugged shadow]

when making open-source bots, never mention the bot's actual name in the source code

[drowsy prairie]

I want to put the number that the user entered into the int-type variable called page

[rugged shadow]

make sure it's fork-able

[slate swan]

can you show an example command usage of it

[drowsy prairie]

When the user enters the message !page 3, he or she wants to put the number 3 in the variable python pages.

[loud shard]

hey how do i get my bot to recognize if someone has pinged a specific person?

like @loud shard

[slate swan]

you could do

@bot.command()
async def cmd_name(ctx: commands.Context, numberentered: int) -> None:
    await ctx.send(numberentered)
    # sends the number you entered

just an example

[drowsy prairie]

thanks 🙂

[slate swan]

discord.Content isnt a thing👁️ 👁️

[slate swan]

I forgot what it's called

!d discord.Message.content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message. If Intents.message_content is not enabled this will always be an empty string unless the bot is mentioned or the message is a direct message.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[slate swan]

oh so it's commands.Context

my fault 💀

@drowsy prairie keep in my mind I just annotated the variable you probably have to add int type when you try to use it

[slate swan]

😭 ✌️

just call the int function on the variable when you try to use it @drowsy prairie

right? @slate swan

[drowsy prairie]

yes I was looking for it

[raven bolt]

@golden tapir https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.wait_for

[slate swan]

you can annotate it

the converter should convert it

[drowsy prairie]

yes that's right

[raven bolt]

converters are merely type hints

[slate swan]

wdym

[raven bolt]

in a func

[slate swan]

typehinting automatically converts it?

[slate swan]

dpys converter converts the type annotated and passes the arguments with that type when internally called

Oh

[slate swan]

no no dpys converter, typehints in python are a theory

You don't have to call int on the variable when you use it then @drowsy prairie

!e

def a(b: str):
    ...
a(1)

pretty cool abstraction dpy did lol

I didn't even know about it 😭

[drowsy prairie]

However, the number in the variable must be changed every time the user enters it

[slate swan]

Why don't you test it out 😉

[drowsy prairie]

i will 🙂

[slate swan]

if you need help after trying, then you can ask here

[drowsy prairie]

[past heath]

can anyone help me with "'BotBase.load_extension' was never awaited error after i switched to discord.py 2.0

[mossy jacinth]

can someone tell my how to fix this error? It came when i used a command

[sick birch]

Just add await in front of your load_extension

[sick birch]

Can we see the command?

[past heath]

thats all i have to do?

ive been told i need to do more but they still didnt work

[sick birch]

What did you try?

And how do they "not work"

[past heath]

some said i had to do something like

async def main():
    async with client:
        await load_extensions()
        await client.start('your_token')```

that didnt wotk

work*

[sick birch]

You don't need to do that

You can load your extensions just fine inside setup_hook

[past heath]

how do i do setup_hook?

[sick birch]

async def MyBot(commands.Bot):
  ...

  async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
    await load_extension(...)

bot = MyBot(...)
bot.run()

You can also do other stuff like setting up a database connection, setting up an aiohttp.ClientSession, and syncing your slash commands here if need be

[past heath]

ohh i see

lemme try this

[drowsy prairie]

def findKeyword(keyword):
  for i in range(1, pages):

@client.command()
async def searchsetup(ctx, page):
    f = open("setup.txt", "w", encoding="utf-8")
    await ctx.send("page : " + page)
    f.write(page)
    #pages = open("setup.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8")
    #pages = page.readline()
    print(type(page))
    print(page)
    page = int(page)
    print(type(page))
    print(page)
    pages = page
    print(type(pages))
    print(page)```
The pages of the findKeyword are not changed.
May I know why?

[slate swan]

why subclass the Bot class when you can just overwrite the method with a callable?

[past heath]

idek nothings working

[sick birch]

Personally think it looks neater, and allows for a lot more customization ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sick birch]

If you copy pasted what I sent, then no, obviously not. What I sent is meant to be a skeletal blueprint, not a fully working, plug and play code

[limber bison]

🤔

I want to make a command ,
Eg , !add [bank | cash ] amount , i know amount will be int , how can I do the middle one ????

Only work with bank and cash word and if not provided it choose bank !!!!

[mossy jacinth]

sorry for extreme late answer; but heres the code, i created this in 4 minutes thats why its bad rn

[urban scroll]

@client.tree.command(name = "roles", description = "Role Test Menu.", guild =TEST_GUILD)
async def roles(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(view=RoleButton(), ephemeral = True)
##################################################################################################
class RoleButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
    @discord.ui.button(label='Role Menu', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id='Role Menu')
    async def rolebutton(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        pass
        test1 = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.roles, name='Test1')
        test2 = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.roles, name='Test2')
        if test1 in interaction.user.roles:
            df = True
        elif test2 in interaction.user.roles:
            df = True
        else:
            df = False
        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label="Test 1", value="Test 1", default = df),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Test 2", value="Test 2", default = df)
        ]
        @discord.ui.select(placeholder="Select",custom_id="test",max_values=2, options=options)
        async def _action_select(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, select: discord.ui.Select):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Done!", ephemeral = True)
##################################################################################################

So, this obviously doesn't work, and I know that. But this is an example of what I am trying to do; essentially, I want the slash command to send the "Role Menu" button. Then when it it clicked by a user, check if the user has "test1" and "test2" roles. If they do/don't, then set the default selectionOption to T/F, then send the select. How can I change this to have it work how I want it to?

[slate swan]

        await ctx.guild.create_category(name="Test")
        await ctx.guild.create_text_channel(name="Test", category="Test")```

I want it to make the category "Test" and then grab its channel id and set it as a variable to make a channel under the category "Test", and every time the command is run the variable is cleared and set to a new value

[slate swan]

if youre going to customize the class yeah its better, but just to overwrite a method seems redundant

[limber bison]

Diff between,
Await asyncio.sleep(5) and
asyncio.sleep(5)

,Like what await will do here ?

[lone lichen]

!d discord.Guild.create_category

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_category

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

Same as [`create_text_channel()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.create_text_channel "discord.Guild.create_text_channel") except makes a [`CategoryChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.CategoryChannel "discord.CategoryChannel") instead.

Note

The `category` parameter is not supported in this function since categories cannot have categories.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.10)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[slate swan]

that doesnt help

[mossy jacinth]

Hello! How can i make my bot also DM the user it picked?

[lone lichen]

category = await guild.create_category

await guild.create_text_channel(category=category)

[slate swan]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[lone lichen]

It was so I can read the docs

[slate swan]

it would schedule the coroutine in the event loop and return the return type of the coroutine over returning a coroutine object

[lone lichen]

create_category method returns channel that was just created of type CategoryChannel

[limber bison]

little bit in simple language ? 😳

[slate swan]

okay....

[limber bison]

What if i dont use await

Affect on bot ?

[lone lichen]

member = random.choice(guild.members)
await member.send(message)

[slate swan]

how do I choose the category name?

[slate swan]

the coroutine doesnt get scheduled and it returns a coroutine object so it never gives ownership to the event loop and wont sleep on the task so other coroutines could run

[lone lichen]

When u create category

[mossy jacinth]

I'll try

[slate swan]

lemme test smth

[limber bison]

Ohhhh 😦 dangerous nvm

[slate swan]

alright I got it

[lone lichen]

I suggest u look online for some articles about asynchronous programming

So u get an idea of what It’ s about

[limber bison]

I want to make it so u can add spaces in the prices name but then it doesnt know how long the giveaway should exist and i dont want to switch the order of the arguments

[pallid robin]

Help me

[mossy jacinth]

Screenshot of the code? Maybe i can help

[outer violet]

How do I make the name of the cogs in the title and the command names in the field values like this?

[paper sluice]

if you want to add spaces, you can do something like this !giveaway "price with spaces" time

[mossy jacinth]

ok but how would random users know they have to put " infront and after?

[paper sluice]

well, think about this, how would the discord.py know what you add spaces, its part of prices or not

another thing you can do it add another parameter and check if its None, then assign it to time or something

like

def foo(a, b=None, c=None):
    if b is None:
        c = b
    ...

foo(1, 2, 3)
foo(1, 3)

why do you want price to have spaces btw?

and what type are you expecting

maybe you can type hint with it Greedy object

[mossy jacinth]

if someone wants to say "Discord Nitro" it needs a space or if they have some other item with spaces they want to give away

[pliant gulch]

Consume all with multiple args just don't work with how discord.py is designed

You'll need command flags but that's kind of a pain to setup IIRC unless it's better supported now

You can always just do something like py async def giveaway(ctx: commands.Context, price, *, time): ... then run via `<prefix>giveaway "$100" 10h

[paper sluice]

an easier solution would be to use slash commands, they provide input boxes where user can enter things with spaces depending on type

[pliant gulch]

Also price? Did you mean prize??

[pallid robin]

.

[pliant gulch]

Note the quotation marks are important for the spaces

So <prefix>giveaway "foo bar" 10h

[outer violet]

[silk fulcrum]

@outer violet walk_commands will also contain groups, get_commands will not

[outer violet]

Can I get example of what it would look like? I’m still confused

[silk fulcrum]

So you want to get all cogs and all commands of each command. So what you'll need to do is list of all cogs, each Cog has walk_commands or get_commands method, so you iterate through bot.cogs and for each cog through cog.walk_commands, so the example would be:

info = {}
for cog in bot.cogs:
    cmds = cog.walk_commands()
    info[str(cog)] = ", ".join([cmd.name for cmd in cmds])

emb = discord.Embed(title="help command", description="see commands")
for cog, cmds in info.items():
    emb.add_field(name=cog, value=cmds)

[outer violet]

Ohh

[mossy jacinth]

I made it to an slash command; but now all commands are getting sent twice

[vale wing]

Two instances of bot are running

[mossy jacinth]

How can i fix it?

[vale wing]

You can just reset token and restart the bot, second instance will automatically stop responding

Better solution would be to actually find that instance

To prevent it from occurring next time

[mossy jacinth]

Sorry for this stupid question but do you maybe know how i can find it? I only converted a command into a slash command...

[silk fulcrum]

second bot instance inside a command 💀

[silk fulcrum]

or on_message listener with process_commands

[vale wing]

Instance is a process

It's not in your code

[mossy jacinth]

oh

[slate swan]

            member = ctx.author

            role = guild.get_role(vrid)
            await member.add_roles(role)

anyone know why this doesn't add the role

[torn sail]

Any error?

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

[torn sail]

vrid is probably not correct

[vale wing]

Failed to get role

[mossy jacinth]

how can i check who reacted to the message and then pick a random user of these in a Slash command?

[silk fulcrum]

fetch the message again via channel.fetch_message and then get reactions via message.reactions[0].users.flatten(), and then pop urself from users. Here's an example:

[mossy jacinth]

did i do something wrong?

[mossy jacinth]

but what do you mean with my_msg.id what if i dont have the message id?

[silk fulcrum]

but you have?

vote_msg.id

new_msg = await interaction.channel.fetch_message(vote_msg.id)

where is the problem

[slate swan]

vrid is correct

[shrewd apex]

it's an async generator object in 2.0

[mossy jacinth]

Sorry but i tried everything i could think of but i couldnt get it to work, I don't know what i did wrong, i fetched the message again and it gave me the same error or i get this error:

    users = await vote.reactions[0].users().flatten()
AttributeError: 'PartialInteractionMessage' object has no attribute 'reactions'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

nextcord.errors.ApplicationInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'PartialInteractionMessage' object has no attribute 'reactions'

[shrewd apex]

lst = [user async for user in message.reactions[0].users()]

for list of all member objects

also make sure u are fetching the message object correctly

[silk fulcrum]

beep boop baap

[shrewd apex]

?

[silk fulcrum]

i thought on_command_error would work for app commands(

[shrewd apex]

on_command takes command.Context as far as i am aware and slash takes discord.Interaction so well it won't work🗿

[silk fulcrum]

well Context can be interaction based

[shrewd apex]

hybrid commands only no for that👀

[silk fulcrum]

but on_command_error takes commads.CommandError and app commands - app_commands.AppCommandError

[shrewd apex]

hmm idk much about slash commands never took my time with it

[silk fulcrum]

understanbadle

[slate swan]

Still no response

The command is sending nothing

No errors

Embed isn’t sent

[placid skiff]

in disnake you have both on_command_error and on_slash_command_error

[silk fulcrum]

gud, but im not using disnake

[placid skiff]

[slate swan]

Is it possible to ban a user on leave from the guild they left
Not from the other guilds they are in
(By the bot)

[torn sail]

ban a user thats not in the guild?

[slate swan]

No

[torn sail]

sorry i didnt really understand then

[silk fulcrum]

me2

[slate swan]

Ban a user who leaves guild A but not ban them in guild b, c

[silk fulcrum]

bruh how can you even ban them in 3 guilds

[slate swan]

....

[silk fulcrum]

so you'd need to avoid that

[torn sail]

just use the guild object of guildA to ban them

it will only ban them there

[slate swan]

in a in_member_remove event

[silk fulcrum]

on_member_leave?

[slate swan]

remove 😭

[torn sail]

so if a user leaves guild a u wanna ban them from guild a?

[silk fulcrum]

oh 😳

[slate swan]

Yuh

[torn sail]

well in on_member_remove check member.guild.id to make sure it is the correct guild then use await member.ban()

[slate swan]

Something like
if member.guild.id == “. . .”:?

[torn sail]

yeah

except not a string

[slate swan]

man, it’s not like I’m making it for a server

[torn sail]

it should be an int

[slate swan]

Is it not possible without guild id ?

[torn sail]

well u have to check it in someway

otherwise every person who leaves a server will get banned

[mossy jacinth]

my bot doesnt see the 0, it thinks its 3 Minutes instead of 30 Minutes how could i fix it in the easiest way possible?

[silk fulcrum]

time[0] takes only 1 digit, so use time[:-1] instead, and also mo format won't work, because you take only one letter at the end and mo is 2 symbols, also who ever will create giveaways that last months of time, just remove it, cus even your bot probably won't run that long

[silk fulcrum]

but when I inline=True for PUBG part. it goes to 3rd column

[silk fulcrum]

then it's impossible, except if you use empty fields (but that'll make your embed wider)

[unkempt canyon]

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

There is no Traceback, if there would be one i would've sent it already. it just underline the function execute line and when hovering over it it says undefined but when starting it no error appears and then commands just won't work.

[shrewd apex]

guys don't give wrong answers ;-;

[shrewd apex]

is that task loop in a class?

[slate swan]

yes, it is

[shrewd apex]

yeah and the functions to right?

[slate swan]

yea

[shrewd apex]

so use self.function1()

also the function is wrong

readlines returns a list of strings

and list dosent have a split method

u can just return len(data1)

[lone lichen]

No one even gave an answer

[shrewd apex]

^^

[shrewd apex]

-_-

[raven bolt]

that's not really as much an answer as just trying to get more information

thank you.

[lone lichen]

^

[slate swan]

so i should ise f.read() instead?

[shrewd apex]

it's not a problem but try to read the whole question and answer as op already explained which error he got

[shrewd apex]

this ^^

[raven bolt]

justu se readlines and return len data1

but don't try to call .split on it because it's a list.

[shrewd apex]

also since u are not using self in function1 and 2 u can decorate it with @staticmethod

[lone lichen]

Also if functions are in a class they need self argument or make em static

[slate swan]

so is this correct?

    def function1():
        with open("example1.txt", "r") as f:
            list1 = f.readlines()
            return len(list1)

[raven bolt]

yes indeed

[shrewd apex]

    @staticmethod
    def function1():
        with open("example1.txt") as f:
            list1 = f.readlines()
        return len(list1)

Hey guys, I'm trying to make my bot join if the user is in a voice channel and if not, send a message saying that the user is not in a voice channel. When I run the join command, the bot joins if the user is in a voice channel, however, the message is not sent if the user is not in a vc. What is the problem here? Can someone clear up my confusion please?

@commands.command()
    async def join(self, ctx):
        user = ctx.message.author
        channel = user.voice.channel
        state = ctx.author.voice
        print(state)

        if state is not None:
            vc = await channel.connect()
        else:
            await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author.mention} You are not connected to a voice channel. Please join a voice channel before using $join.")

[silk fulcrum]

any errors?

[stable mulch]

Does not return any errors

I even tried

try:
except:

[silk fulcrum]

what does print(state) print when member is not in voice?

[placid skiff]

what did you put in the exception block?

[stable mulch]

await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author.mention} You are not connected to a voice channel. Please join a voice channel before using $join.")

[fierce light]

U using dis.py

[stable mulch]

Nothing

[placid skiff]

i mean the exception you tried to catch

[rapid charm]

how do i make my discord bot stay on stage

error code every 12hrs: ```
disconnecting from voice normally close code 1000

but my bot is still online

[stable mulch]

none

[placid skiff]

do you have an error handler event?

[fierce light]

@stable mulch

if not ctx.author.voice:

[stable mulch]

What is that?

[silk fulcrum]

that's just the same

[fierce light]

Oh right

Dammit my brain isnt braining today

[rapid charm]

well my google cloud sucs if theres no other way

[fierce light]

Thats what i did to my bot and it works fine

[placid skiff]

@event \ async def on_command_error or @event \ async def on_error somewhere in your code

[stable mulch]

Yeah I have async def on_command_error

only for commands.CommandOnCooldown and commands.MissingRequiredArgument though

[placid skiff]

put this at the end of your if-else statement:

        else:
            print(f"ignoring exception in command {ctx.command.name}\n{type(error)}", file=sys.stderr)
            traceback.print_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__, file=sys.stderr)
            await ctx.send(f"Something went wrong in executing command {ctx.command.name}\n{type(error)}")

you will need to import sys and traceback

[stable mulch]

alright, thanks
