@dull terrace ??

[flat swallow]

Cuz it would give a straight error of no definiton but it's not

So it has alr been defined

[cold oyster]

Hmm

Wait

Can I see the full code?

[flat swallow]

ayo

[cold oyster]

?

[flat swallow]

one sec??!! I just reran it and it's working wtf 😂

[silk fulcrum]

well... there are a lot of things those could be organised, for example: speed and memory (using ['hey'] instead of {0: 'hey'} is faster), repeating code (could with a function or classes) and OOP stuff

[cold oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/calculating-puzzled-math-confused-confused-look-gif-14677181

[flat swallow]

nvm

it aint

[cold oyster]

Whatever, At least it's working unlike mine 😢

[flat swallow]

lmao

[flat swallow]

Ye same here 🤔

[cold oyster]

braaah

[flat swallow]

ayo 😂

[robust fulcrum]

I mostly using classes

[silk fulcrum]

you are using pycord right?

[cold oyster]

Disnake

[dull terrace]

i copy pasted your entire code on my test bot token and it works

[robust fulcrum]

How can I fetch a image from message in dpy?

[dull terrace]

idk what the fu

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

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

[flat swallow]

ye

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[cold oyster]

The frick is this

[silk fulcrum]

hm, im not sure but probably it's required in disnake for arguments to have a description

[flat swallow]

same error

[slate swan]

pass a valid token

[flat swallow]

I did 😭

I changed it twice and updated my code to accomodate it

[silk fulcrum]

well, I thought like that like... 6 months ago, and now i understand what trash was that

[slate swan]

skill issue

[dull terrace]

try it with a new app

[cold oyster]

There is a description

[dull terrace]

create a new bot and see if it works

[cold oyster]

too hard xd

[silk fulcrum]

not for an argument

[flat swallow]

ah 😭

[cold oyster]

Ill try pycord maybe..

[shrewd apex]

perhaps u are redefining it somewhere

[dull terrace]

i've copied his entire code and tried it and it works

[robust fulcrum]

Classes not really good

[silk fulcrum]

nooo

[slate swan]

that doesnt change a thing

[cold oyster]

He his..

[cold oyster]

Wooot

[slate swan]

use discord.py or hikari

[dull terrace]

that's literally the only difference between me running it and him

[silk fulcrum]

^^^^^^^

[cold oyster]

d.py dosent work brah

[silk fulcrum]

wdym? 😳

[cold oyster]

for me

For replit users it does-

[shrewd apex]

more like u not able to make it work

[cold oyster]

Wrong one bruh

[silk fulcrum]

why? they are good, very good

[silk fulcrum]

if used properly

[slate swan]

nice

[shrewd apex]

how are u gonna make pycord disnake or nextcord work u just change the name for same code and it works 99.99% of the time

[golden tapir]

why error

[shrewd apex]

so if u fail dpy nothing else helping u

[cold oyster]

Alr.

[golden tapir]

  if arg  > str(13):
    await ctx.send("You are old enough for this server.")
    member = ctx.message.author
    role = get(member.server.roles, name="Verifyed")
    await bot.add_roles(member, role)

[shrewd apex]

it's guild

not server

verified spelling also wrong

[golden tapir]

my bad

[slate swan]

[cold oyster]

Verified*

[dull terrace]

str(13)

[hushed galleon]

you've been looking at outdated documentation

[dull terrace]

instead of "13"

[shrewd apex]

someone need to pin this

[dull terrace]

and how are you

[golden tapir]

i was getting an error ab that so i had to change that

[dull terrace]

it shouldn't be a string

[slate swan]

or just !readthedocs it

[cold oyster]

bruh i need to change this too

[slate swan]

well it doesnt have that so it wont work either ways

[hushed galleon]

Client.add_roles() has been deprecated and removed for a long time, the equivalent now is Member.add_roles()
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member.add_roles

[dull terrace]

i don't understand how you're getting these errors when i can run the exact same code

[cold oyster]

BRUH

[cold oyster]

I REINSTALLED DISNAKE

IT WORKED

[dull terrace]

[flat swallow]

💀

[cold oyster]

da universe changed for me

[shrewd apex]

[flat swallow]

New bot also not working

[cold oyster]

[flat swallow]

Frikin improper token my ass

[cold oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/mcjuggernuggets-chillout-gif-13306028

[dull terrace]

i've installed disnake maybe 4 times and never had that issue

[cold oyster]

erm

idk, disnake goin crazy with me

[shrewd apex]

skill issue then

[hushed galleon]

have you tried printing the token to make sure its what you expect it to be?

[shrewd apex]

print it just before the run statement

[cold oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/bro-you-so-funny-funny-neutral-face-you-so-funny-im-actually-laughing-gif-22291113

[cold oyster]

rule 1 of python

print the shit out

[dull terrace]

i can't imagine you're able to do this without a different error, but is your token in quotes? @flat swallow

[shrewd apex]

i like the attitude

[flat swallow]

yessir

[cold oyster]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[flat swallow]

u mean here right

[cold oyster]

ima pea

[shrewd apex]

if its not printing shit correctly that means u messed up rule number 1 of any coder

[flat swallow]

token is working i printed it its correct

[flat swallow]

Debug ur program :D

[dull terrace]

and your token is from the reset token button here

[cold oyster]

back

[flat swallow]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[cold oyster]

[flat swallow]

That is the token...?

[flat swallow]

[dull terrace]

a bot that deletes itself

[cold oyster]

.

[slate swan]

a command that adds a listener to check if a member/message was updated and send a message to the user until the user/message is ever untracked

[cold oyster]

u expect me to do that

never

lol--

[slate swan]

I did that, so can you

We have a guide on it in our site. I don’t know if it’s merged yet. I should know because im the project lead for it, but I don’t hahaha

[knotty agate]

im having an issue with permissions.

im trying to get my bot to change users nicknames, but everytime it tries to it has an error saying forbidden permissions. but my bot has administraitor and its trying to change my alt accounts nickname who has no permissions? does anyone know whats going on?

[silk fulcrum]

w-w-what site? 👉 👈

[sick birch]

If your alt is above your bot in the role heirarchy, it can’t change their nickname

[final walrus]

does message.edit have a rate limit of about 5 edits per 5 seconds?

[silk fulcrum]

looks too short for a whole game

[final walrus]

If so, is there a way to avoid that? I want to make text animations by editing messages

But I get rate limited (I think)

[dull terrace]

50 per second global iirc

5 per second per guild

[shrewd apex]

dynamic but u will get ratelimited for sure

i tried making marquee text before

uhm... woops, i guess i just remove this command so i have no problems

[golden tapir]

i am trying to create roles

if you have to animate something then you're gonna have to send gifs

is there a way to create roles?

use a gif of discord font with transparent background then?

my server da best

what else do i have

[silk fulcrum]

replit = bad

[golden tapir]

[golden tapir]

i used to use replit

[shrewd apex]

point in correct direction u giving misdirections 👀

[golden tapir]

thats why i added that

[silk fulcrum]

👈

[shrewd apex]

master32 gps system broken 😔

[shrewd apex]

problem is too many PPL use replit for hosting and then they go get their neighbours bots ratelimited

[shrewd apex]

[golden tapir]

yes

[shrewd apex]

i see no process_commands

[knotty agate]

?

[shrewd apex]

PPL who use on_message for commands ....

[golden tapir]

i used to get rate limited all the time

[shrewd apex]

i am saying in wrong place

[silk fulcrum]

i think... he is using... discord.Client 😭

[limber bison]

Local variables vs global variables? Which take more CPU ? If i use more global variables is it ok ?

[shrewd apex]

i don't think so

[knotty agate]

yes i do cause i have things like simon says and stuff.

[shrewd apex]

yt tutorial always do client = commands.Bot

[slate swan]

they never really want you to use global variables

[shrewd apex]

...

[slate swan]

I always get yelled at when I mention them 😭

[dull terrace]

client = commands.InteractionBot()```

[shrewd apex]

there is diff between global variables and global keyword

[limber bison]

Who they ?

[knotty agate]

i dont see how this is relevant since it is a permissions error

[silk fulcrum]

that's not dpy 😭

[knotty agate]

yet the bot has the highest permissions and my alt has the lowest

[shrewd apex]

i never go and say PPL don't use global vars use globals vars no problem don't use global keyword to edit global vars

[silk fulcrum]

could you show full traceback please

[slate swan]

ahh

[shrewd apex]

both have diff roles in diff cases

[dull terrace]

hmm i wonder

[shrewd apex]

u need constants use global variable u need for temporary storage then use functions functions have a local env where local variables are utilised

[golden tapir]

is it possible to delete roles on command

[shrewd apex]

inbuilt ones

[shrewd apex]

yes

[golden tapir]

what is the command?

[silk fulcrum]

wth is TYPE_CHECKING used for in making bot? (saw it in RDanny)

[knotty agate]

[junior verge]

How to get the ID of someone in a cog of the user executing the command? its self.user.id right?

[final walrus]

Has anybody else tried making animations through editing text

[dull terrace]

i believe if iirc and am not mistaken that you don't have permissions

[knotty agate]

iirc?

[dull terrace]

you don't have the right permissions

[shrewd apex]

u fetch the role then delete

[dull terrace]

there's literally no other reason that error would happen

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Role.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.delete

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

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.

[silk fulcrum]

@dull terrace ig

[shrewd apex]

strange i checked docs guild has create role but no delete role 🗿

[knotty agate]

this is the bot:

[shrewd apex]

one line extra to delete

[knotty agate]

and my alt is only @ everyone

[junior verge]

?

[shrewd apex]

i made gifs

[dull terrace]

are you trying to edit your own nick as the server owner?

[shrewd apex]

CTX.author.id

[knotty agate]

no, my alt

[shrewd apex]

if it's in a prefix command

slash means interaction.user.id

[silk fulcrum]

is Bot your bot's official role?

[final walrus]

gifs are so buggy sometimes. Sometimes they'll play, sometimes they won't upon viewing and if a user scrolls or does something in the meantime they'll stop or restart

[dull terrace]

and your bot actually has the correct permissions in the channel?

[knotty agate]

yes, its the intergrations thing

[final walrus]

Is there no better alternative

[shrewd apex]

there is

[knotty agate]

why would channel permissions forbid nicknames? it has permission to all channels anyway

[shrewd apex]

u read it out in a voice channel

[final walrus]

LOL

true

make the bot join a vc and stream the animation

[silk fulcrum]

omg ive listened to this 3 hours str8

[silk fulcrum]

thats what i always do

[shrewd apex]

at this point ur ears not even processing the song

[silk fulcrum]

yes

[dull terrace]

oh own nickname

[knotty agate]

ok nvm im actually an idiot why did it take me 20 minutes to realise it wasnt trying to edit the person who ran the commands nickname, it was always trying to edit mine (server owner)

sorry for wasting everyone time 😦

[silk fulcrum]

they only hear "we dont sleep at niiight"

[shrewd apex]

it be like this noise from last 3hrs i don't even care anymore

[shrewd apex]

...

[dull terrace]

alright so it didn't have the right permissions

[shrewd apex]

i have met people who tried to make bot kick owners this is nothing

[knotty agate]

i have no clue how i did not, genuinley. this has been such a waste of time on my part

sorry

[shrewd apex]

smol mistake

[dull terrace]

literally happens with everyone dw

[honest shoal]

how can I make my autocomplete like this? (I use disnake)

[silk fulcrum]

I myself tried to unban a bot that is in the guild

[shrewd apex]

command_name.autocomplete("param_name")
async def(self, inter: discord.Interaction, param: typing.Any) -> list[app_commands.Choice]:

new question: how get a discord.Member from a 'User' object

fetch_user returns a user object but i need a member

[dull terrace]

async def butthole(message, options: ["asdfasd", "sdafasdf"]):```

pretty sure thatll do

[shrewd apex]

what ever equivalent

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.Guild.fetch_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_member

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

Retrieves a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") from a guild ID, and a member ID.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_member()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.get_member "discord.Guild.get_member") instead.

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

[knotty agate]

thanks

!d typing.TYPE_CHECKING

[unkempt canyon]

typing.TYPE\_CHECKING

typing.TYPE_CHECKING```
A special constant that is assumed to be `True` by 3rd party static type checkers. It is `False` at runtime. Usage:

```py
if TYPE_CHECKING:
    import expensive_mod

def fun(arg: 'expensive_mod.SomeType') -> None:
    local_var: expensive_mod.AnotherType = other_fun()
```  The first type annotation must be enclosed in quotes, making it a “forward reference”, to hide the `expensive_mod` reference from the interpreter runtime. Type annotations for local variables are not evaluated, so the second annotation does not need to be enclosed in quotes.

there is display_avatar.url also

[silk fulcrum]

its used when you want to avoid circular imports and still use the classes for type annotations

# foo.py 
from bar import Banana

class Apple:
    banana: Banana
``` ```
# bar.py

from foo import Apple

class Banana: ...
``` this will raise an import error
but you can avoid that by ```py
# foo.py

import typing
if typing.TYPE_CHECKING:
   from bar import Banana

class Apple:
   banana: "Banana"

[silk fulcrum]

[mossy jacinth]

so it is possible 😱

[silk fulcrum]

yes it is

[primal token]

its mainly used to import classes for annotations and stop the problem of 2 files to depend on each other(both of them are mutually imported), its just a constant thats values is False on runtime but not when editing your code, mainly used for ides to know types etc

[pliant gulch]

TYPE_CHECKING is nice, but I would almost always prefer forward referencing, only if it weren't for the fact that if I did forward reference I would still need TYPE_CHECKING to make the type-checker know it's defined....

[slate swan]

Any idea?

[flat swallow]

Doubt: How do I get the content the user has entered in their dms
I am making a hangman function

[potent spear]

you'll most likely want a wait_for

[flat swallow]

Guessing this isn't very correct then

[potent spear]

surely not

I'll highly suggest you to use the commands.ext extension

[flat swallow]

I should

[potent spear]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html

[flat swallow]

But I have come so far that i am very lazy to change this

[potent spear]

instead of checking for certain strings in the on_message event

that'll be very messy

[flat swallow]

Yes

leme change the code

[potent spear]

you also want this
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=wait_for#discord.Client.wait_for
then you're basically all set

[flat swallow]

Hope this looks in order

[hidden haven]

Can you have two async def on_message(message) in the same script, or does your code need to be consolidated to one on_message() function?

[sick birch]

With listeners, yes. Events, no

[hidden haven]

What is the difference?

[maiden fable]

event overrides the built in functionality of that ws event whereas listener appends our function to an internal list and doesn't override anything

[slate swan]

that reminds me of that song for no reason

[flat swallow]

So is my code right?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @flat swallow!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[maiden fable]

If the song is right, so is the code

[flat swallow]

lmao

i need help tho

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[slate swift]

can someone tell me why it doesnt say in status the correct amount of members

[flat swallow]

thats how i did it

its very long tho

[maiden fable]

U can use len(bot.users) too btw

!intents u need members intent

[unkempt canyon]

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.

[slate swift]

i have intents

intents.members = True
initial_extensions = []```

[flat swallow]

ur intents are to make ur code work 😂

[slate swift]

no way really

[flat swallow]

Why can't I tick all lol

[maiden fable]

did u pass the intents to yr bot constructor?

[slate swift]

discord dev portal?

[maiden fable]

No

commands.Bot(intents=intents)

[slate swift]

what do i do with that?

[slate swan]

• get_quote id a blocking function, make it non-blocking by using aiohttp instead of requests
• keep your imports at one place, you're importing datetime randomly anywhere
• create another test file to test things out, don't do it in the main file
• Unnecessary try/except in the on_message event
• it's bot.command not bot.Command in the command decorators
• hard-coded help command
• The meme command is blocking, use aiohttp instead of requests
• The hangman command will never work because of the wrong usage of str.startswith, that is message.author which is a Union of Member and User object, and startswith is an str class method and the use of startswith is wrong too

[mossy jacinth]

How can i make a command to let my bot leave the server?
I want to make a command like !leave so the bot automatically leaves, because kicking, then confirming it annoys me...

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.leave

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

Note

You cannot leave the guild that you own, you must delete it instead via [`delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.delete "discord.Guild.delete").

robin can u help me

[flat swallow]

oh thnx

[sick birch]

My next class is about to start, so no, unfortunately

[slate swift]

oh okay its fine

[flat swallow]

This correct?

[mossy jacinth]

add it after your prefix

[slate swan]

you dont really require intents in a Bot

[flat swallow]

now u do

for loads of things

[slate swift]

doesnt work still

still says ,help | in 48 servers, 48 members

[flat swallow]

WHY ARE MY COMMANDS NOT WORKING 😭

[mossy jacinth]

wait im lost, whats your goal? I only saw u asked what u have to do with that intents=intents

[slate swift]

im trying to get my bots status to say

,help | in 48 servers, {number of members}

it says the amount of server and help but the members of serv is 48 even tho its in 1k+ member servers

[mossy jacinth]

    members = 0
    for guild in client.guilds:
        members += guild.member_count - 1

and then

something something(In ... servers, {members} Members)

should work if im not wrong

[slate swift]

async def on_ready():
  print('{0.user}'.format(client))
  print('Is Online')
  print('-----------')
  await client.change_presence(
        status=discord.Status.idle,

            name=f",help | In {len(client.guilds)} servers, {len(list(client.get_all_members()))} members. ",
        ),
    )```

is what i have

[cold sonnet]

len(bot.users)

[mossy jacinth]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  print('{0.user}'.format(client))
  print('Is Online')
  print('-----------')

            name=f",help | In {len(client.guilds)} servers, {members} members. ",
        ),

[mossy jacinth]

idk if that works

[cold sonnet]

but I do

[mossy jacinth]

never used it before

works thanks man

[lost lichen]

hi, i’m trying to make a server lockdown command, so far i have this but it will just send the embed and not change any of the permissions, im confused as this should work, right? what am i doing wrong?

i’m running this in a cog

[valid glacier]

Hey, I would like to publish my bot on github. I dont want to inculude files like TOKENS, which are private, how should I do that? The token is stored is in .env file and I know that there is something called gitignore, with which I should be able to ignore this file, but I have very liitle knowledge of git and I dont. want to mess it up😅

[sick birch]

Just add your .env file to your .gitignore file

[valid glacier]

Or should I not include it at all?

like not publish .env file

[sick birch]

Easier to just add to gitignore because all it takes is a slip up

[lost lichen]

yeah

[mossy jacinth]

How can i make my bot send the responses of the Modal into a channel or to me?

tried

id = (the server id here)
await interaction.id.send(response)

and some more things...

[lost lichen]

add *.env to your gitignore

[valid glacier]

okay and can you please help me how should i do that with git cli?

[lost lichen]

gitignore file

[lost lichen]

there should be a file called .gitignore

[valid glacier]

alright, ill ty that, thanks :)

[hidden haven]

How do you set a backslash as your command prefix in discord.py? I tried escaping with /\ but it took the prefix to be the literal /\. using just \ leads to an escape error

[lost lichen]

if not, make the file and put it in the root directory of your project

[lost lichen]

i don’t think you can

[prisma wedge]

  File "main.py", line 23, in <module>
    from discord_components import *

[lost lichen]

have to wait for someone to come up with a solution

it’s not an intentional ignore

[edgy maple]

could I host a bot on a old pc by just leaving it on running the code?

[lost lichen]

yep

[edgy maple]

[prisma wedge]

anyone know answer

[indigo pilot]

[silk fulcrum]

no guild with taht id

[indigo pilot]

there is tho lmfao

[silk fulcrum]

make sure there is

[indigo pilot]

if there wasnt the bot wouldnt even start

[silk fulcrum]

because seems like there isntit would

[indigo pilot]

as it wouldnt be able to sync cmds

[honest shoal]

maybe not in bot's cache?

oh

[silk fulcrum]

ohkay

[silk fulcrum]

so it does start?

[honest shoal]

is that an http only bot?

[indigo pilot]

[spring flax]

If i want to have a list of IDS and prevent two users from pressing a button each time a command is used, what's the ideal way?

[prisma wedge]

is there any documentation on that

[silk fulcrum]

You are using if argument == "something": and inside it you do if argument == "something other", do you understand that both they would never be true?

[shrewd apex]

we have a good gist on how to make Slash commands using that

[primal token]

Better helping someones future than spoonfeeding them.

[shrewd apex]

#discord-bots message

@prisma wedge ^^

[sick birch]

Use the interaction check

[prisma wedge]

he literally just told you-

Use Elif

[prisma wedge]

thanks

[silk fulcrum]

You did that for some reason, you have to understand what that is for and what do you want to do, and that way you code... I could've told you to use elif instead of second if and move it one indent lower, but if you are not understanding the code you are writing that is a problem

[spring flax]

Where should I define the list to compare to?

In the button subclass itself?

[shrewd apex]

how are the users decided upon

[silk fulcrum]

yes, do you understand how that works?

[shrewd apex]

[silk fulcrum]

that's the most important part... ig

[primal token]

If you understand how it works why do you question your solution and ask for someone to prove that youre correct and then doubt yourself because of the basics of indentation in python?

[shrewd apex]

details 👀

[primal token]

im not being rude, its just odd to me

[silk fulcrum]

that's how beginners brains work ig

idk

[shrewd apex]

that like me after 5 mins of thinking regex pattern

should I ask in server or not

[primal token]

gosh i hate regex patterns

[shrewd apex]

i am no expert in slash command but i think that argument param typehint is causing error

[raven bolt]

typehints are converters in discordpy.

[silk fulcrum]

i think that's because channel is typehinted as TextChannel and being None by default

[shrewd apex]

it's too much usage of brain cells but satisfying after getting it right

[silk fulcrum]

uhm, no? typehint channel as Optional[TextChannel]

btw make sure to import Optional from typing

[raven bolt]

wth is Union[] in a function?

[glad cradle]

that's not the problem, TextChannel = None is automatically converted as Optional[TextChannel]

[primal token]

its used for parametization of one type or another as a union

[shrewd apex]

i used = None before no problems for me

[silk fulcrum]

means arg can be either A or B in here arg: Union[A, B]

[raven bolt]

arg may only be one of those args?

[silk fulcrum]

😳 ok

[primal token]

That is so.

[silk fulcrum]

A, B are types

[shrewd apex]

but don't typehint Union in slash commands it dosent work with union iirc

[glad cradle]

what's your problem, I've arrived now

[silk fulcrum]

yes it does not

[shrewd apex]

is that the full error

[raven bolt]

!traceback

[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.

[primal token]

either way union really shouldnt be used as the built in union operator (bitwise or/pipes) are a thing

[glad cradle]

is Literal[] for choices?

[paper sluice]

wth

[primal token]

only time you should use it is when your package or code needs to be in python 3.5

[silk fulcrum]

woh cares, command doesnt work

basics of python are not a problem

[paper sluice]

i wonder why

[shrewd apex]

words of truth

[primal token]

you can always use it in 3.7 with future.__annotations__

[shrewd apex]

who are u explaining so much for

[primal token]

im currently in pain as im taking physics this year

[silk fulcrum]

it's good to relax by talking 👍

[glad cradle]

!d discord.app_commands.Parameter you could use, I think that your error is related to Literal not 100% sure

go ahead make your own discord bot library

pretty easy non the less

[prisma wedge]

anyone??

[glad cradle]

your option?

[raven bolt]

make a good one i beg

[spring flax]

so it would be ```py
class MyNutton(Button):
self.clicked: list[int] = []

async def callback(...):
if interaction.user.id in self.clicked:
return
self.clicked.append(interaction.user.id)

in a command

view = View()
view.add_item(MyButton())
await ctx.send(content, view=view)

Would this use the list per-command usage? meaning it prevents two users from pressing a button each time a command is used

[silk fulcrum]

choices=

not :

Im not making a library thats gonna take me weeks just to make good enough models with modular abstractions and good codebase

[silk fulcrum]

• Your Option must be quoted...

"Your Option"

[primal token]

Youre better of making the lib yourself and knowing every corner of it

[silk fulcrum]

i guess

[glad cradle]

should look like this

argument: str = Option(str, description="argument options", choices=["option 1", "option 2", ...])

[silk fulcrum]

but he is doin it for argument

not for channel, channel is separate arg

[glad cradle]

wasn't channel the argument?

I think he copy pasted some example code

[silk fulcrum]

argument: choices, channel: Channel = None

[glad cradle]

🤭

then mb

[primal token]

im pretty sure channels annotation isnt correct

[glad cradle]

fixed

[glad cradle]

[silk fulcrum]

i guess ill go sleep, i hate waking up with feeling that my eyes are not with me

[silk fulcrum]

who craes

[glad cradle]

Good night buddy😈

[primal token]

Your linter does

[silk fulcrum]

uhm, same

[paper sluice]

mypy lsp

[silk fulcrum]

what does this mean

[glad cradle]

show it

[paper sluice]

its the thing in your IDE which does syntax highlighting stuff

[glad cradle]

that's related to some embed obj

[silk fulcrum]

nice

[primal token]

mypy acts like a child, screams and cries about everything

[silk fulcrum]

can it highlight him with red for me?

[glad cradle]

you're sending a modal?

lemme check the shitty docs again

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[glad cradle]

btw what's the class modal 2

[paper sluice]

yea lol

[glad cradle]

ok lemme read the docs

[silk fulcrum]

you didnt see his subclass, and I'm predicting noone wants to see it

[paper sluice]

you can make it do that

[silk fulcrum]

yeah

[mossy jacinth]

can someone help?

[silk fulcrum]

how do you make this:( i want it

so everyone would see im not doing shit when im doing shit

[glad cradle]

@slate swan you need to use inter.response.send_modal(modal)

[glad cradle]

true, I won't read it

[shrewd apex]

install discord presence

for plugins

[silk fulcrum]

there is no discord presence

[shrewd apex]

some plugin is there just type discord and search

[glad cradle]

that's for vsc no?

[silk fulcrum]

error

[glad cradle]

wdym?

[glad cradle]

delete sys32 or bin

[shrewd apex]

there is one for all ides

[glad cradle]

I can't understand, it should work if there aren't errors in your modal2 class

[shrewd apex]

gn guys phone at 2% for me now

[glad cradle]

😩

[silk fulcrum]

bye

[mossy jacinth]

interaction

or interaction = inter ig

[paper sluice]

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10233-discord-integration

[silk fulcrum]

that is literally the plugin i tried to install

and it gave me an error

[silk fulcrum]

no

[mossy jacinth]

ok

[paper sluice]

what error?

[silk fulcrum]

this

[glad cradle]

1. it's a coroutine you should await it

[raven bolt]

await coroutines

[glad cradle]

2. in your case is interaction

[slate swan]

any1 know how make a bot pokemon? like poketwo

[paper sluice]

can't really see the error, can u scroll down to the good stuff

[glad cradle]

is it wrong? 😳

[silk fulcrum]

ohkay, ill install it again

wait WHAT, it installed?

[glad cradle]

@slate swan

[paper sluice]

✨ magic ✨

[glad cradle]

ryuga magic dance

[silk fulcrum]

how it works

where is my presence(

[mossy jacinth]

guys how can i send the modal inputs to the bot owner or into a channel?

[glad cradle]

it's interaction in your case 😐😐😐

Inter is an abbreviation of interaction like ctx is an abbreviation of context

[slate swan]

👌

[paper sluice]

go to the plugin settings and configure it

[silk fulcrum]

where? i dont see them

[slate swan]

Are you trolling or being fr?

[silk fulcrum]

that gear is uninstall or disable

[glad cradle]

maybe he's trolling

[paper sluice]

lets head to #ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

[glad cradle]

I don't like to do spoonfeeding, it's
await interaction.response.send_modal(modal) in your case

[slate swan]

Yeah, a definite troll. Just ignore them.

[glad cradle]

^

[primal token]

to be more precise and cause less confusion you should use UpperWord for class names in your text so people can differentiate

[glad cradle]

it was an example, I'll do it 😕😩

[primal token]

ok

[glad cradle]

what is your current code

[livid jacinth]

can anyone help me?

[fading marlin]

you can use discord.Colour which has factory classmethods to get specific colors (e.g red, blue, blurple, etc). Or you can use hex colors if you want a specific color that isn't available in the Colour class

[livid jacinth]

But i want to set the color by the command

[fading marlin]

!d discord.ext.commands.ColourConverter you can use this converter then

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.ColourConverter

class discord.ext.commands.ColourConverter(*args, **kwargs)```
Converts to a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour").

Changed in version 1.5: Add an alias named ColorConverter

The following formats are accepted...

[livid jacinth]

No I just want to write e.g. -c purple to set the role color to purple

[fading marlin]

that's what the converter does...

[glad cradle]

sup

[livid jacinth]

And how can i use this ColorConverter ? Can u show me that?

[slate swan]

color = await commands.ColorConverter.convert(ctx, argument_to_convert)

[silk fulcrum]

Colour 💀

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.ColourConverter.convert

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.ColourConverter.convert

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

The method to override to do conversion logic.

If an error is found while converting, it is recommended to raise a [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError") derived exception as it will properly propagate to the error handlers.

[slate swan]

bri'ish bot

[livid jacinth]

But I cant use this variable

[mossy jacinth]

i still need help sending the modal answers to a channel or me in dms...

[slate swan]

hi guys is there a way i could check if people are spamming too many commands and tell them to slow down or somehow stop them from ratelimiting the bot

[digital field]

any hikari users?

[silk fulcrum]

make cooldowns for each command or make a custom one

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_modal

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a modal.

[mossy jacinth]

await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)? I meant if the user finished the modal that the bot sends the answers to me

[silk fulcrum]

what do you need from them?

[silk fulcrum]

dont get you, do you want an input inside the modal?

[livid jacinth]

How can i set the color to arg?

@bot.command()
async def c(ctx, arg):
    print("check 1")
    member = ctx.author
    roles = member.roles 
    roles.reverse() 
    top_role = roles[0]
    await top_role.edit(colour=discord.Colour.arg())
    print("check 2")

[digital field]

how can i convert my bot's gateway id to username

[mossy jacinth]

Like after the user finished to fill out the modal it should send the things the user filled in there into a server or into my DMS.. kinda hard to tell what i want for me

[vocal snow]

typehint arg to discord.Color

and pass it as is

[silk fulcrum]

will it work like !c yellow?

[vocal snow]

check ColorConverter doc

[silk fulcrum]

ohkay

[livid jacinth]

But i dont know how i can use the the color converter

[digital field]

.

[livid jacinth]

Can you explain it?

Or show me that

[vocal snow]

just typehint the arg to discord.Color

[livid jacinth]

 await top_role.edit(colour=discord.Colour.arg())

[vocal snow]

please listen to what im saying 😭

[livid jacinth]

 await top_role.edit(colour=arg())

so? I dont get it?

[vocal snow]

arg: int

this is typehinting arg to int

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html?highlight=converters#converters

[livid jacinth]

@bot.command()
async def c(self, ctx, arg: int):
    print("check 1")
    member = ctx.author
    roles = member.roles 
    roles.reverse() 
    top_role = roles[0]
    await top_role.edit(colour=discord.Colour.__init__())
    print("check 2")

Like that?

[vocal snow]

oh my god

[vocal snow]

please read this, maybe you'll understand

[livid jacinth]

I dont understand it

Please show me what you mean

[hidden haven]

Is there a nice little guide or gallery floating around showcasing all the ways possible to style embeds and normal text messages beyond just raw function documentation? Specifically for discord.py

[vocal snow]

do you understand how to use a typehint

[livid jacinth]

Yes ig

[vocal snow]

so

typehint the parameter to discord.Colour

discord.py will convert the parameter to that type before it is passed to the command callback

[livid jacinth]

Okay but i dont know what i have to do

[vocal snow]

arg: discord.Colour

color=arg

[livid jacinth]

Ah okay i know

[vocal snow]

@slate swan opportunity for another gist

[livid jacinth]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'Colour' object is not callable

I get this error

[vocal snow]

code?

[livid jacinth]

@bot.command()
async def c(ctx, arg: discord.Colour):
    print("check 1")
    member = ctx.author
    roles = member.roles 
    roles.reverse() 
    top_role = roles[0]
    await top_role.edit(color=arg())
    print("check 2")

[vocal snow]

so why are you calling arg

[livid jacinth]

What else should I call?

[vocal snow]

don't call anything

[livid jacinth]

Ah okay it works

Thank you !

[slate swan]

any1 have a code pokemon

[vocal snow]

This channel is for discord bots, you may want to ask and elaborate your question in an OT channel or #python-discussion

[slate swan]

Can someone put me out of my misery please.

I am using cogs for the first time today, and while adapting my code I have noticed my old code such as client.fetch_user(id) no longer runs past this point.
I believe this to be because having cogs means i need to change all my client.command() etc to commands..command, but when i change client.fetch_user(id) to commands.fetch_user(id) it stops running, no errors displayed either.

Does anyone know why this is?

Code:

        for amt in total:
            id_ = leader_board[amt]
            print('a')
            member = await commands.get_user(id_)
            print('b')
            name = member.name
            pres = users[str(member.id)]["prestige"]```

Entire Output:
```py
>>> Logged in as: AgriCult BETA#2797
>>> a
>>> 

[primal token]

since youre in a cog you would need an instance of your bot to use those methods, so you would an the instance which gets passed into the initializer of the class(__init__) which then you can just make an instance variable with that instance passed so you would do self.bot_instance depending on your instance name

[slate swan]

class Statistics(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot```

I have this, if this is what you mean?

[primal token]

yup, use self.bot as its your bot instance

[sick birch]

Do you have any error handlers? Your client isn't defined, but you're not getting any errors

[hidden haven]

What is the best way to 'separate' iterations while still maintaining output in one single embed while using a for loop? I tried embed.add_field(name='a', value= "\n\u200b") -> but I don't want a title and it doesn't really add a space in the way that I want (which is to break up each iteration by a horizontal space or, better yet, some dashed line indicator)

[slate swan]

For error handling I have:

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
            await ctx.send('Please pass in all required arguments.')

        if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
            pass  
  
        if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
            msg = '**Woah! That\'s too fast!** Please try again <t:{}:R>'.format(int(time.time() + error.retry_after))
            await ctx.send(msg, delete_after=5)

        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
            await ctx.send('You do not have sufficient permissions to use this command!')```

[sick birch]

Perhaps .join()?

[primal token]

like separate iteration values with other values?

[slate swan]

so instead of client.fetch_user i use self.bot.fetch_user? I don't quite understand

[primal token]

!d str.join | is probably what youre looking for

[unkempt canyon]

str.join

str.join(iterable)```
Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in *iterable*. A [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") will be raised if there are any non-string values in *iterable*, including [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") objects. The separator between elements is the string providing this method.

[primal token]

well because of instances lol

[sick birch]

Right, okay. You need to have:

traceback.print_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__, file=sys.stderr)

to print out all other exceptions

Currently all other errors are silently ignored, and that's a big no-no

[slate swan]

So I'm putting this where sorry?

[sick birch]

First thing inside of your on_command_error because errors should always be logged

Oh, and make sure you import traceback from the stdlib

[hidden haven]

No, I’m talking more about the layout of a modal itself

Like so

Inside a single modal

[slate swan]

so

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        traceback.print_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__, file=sys.stderr)
        # rest here```

also saying `"sys" is not defined" 
I have `import traceback`

[sick birch]

A modal as in.. an embed that shows up in chat or the little popup?

[hidden haven]

Oh sorry yes an embed

[sick birch]

Ah okay. You want sort of a table sort of deal going?

[hidden haven]

My current one outputs everything scrambled and not in an easy-to-read layout

Yes exactly

[sick birch]

It's going to be a bit difficult, because things look really weird on mobile, and on different computers zero-width characters will look really strange

I think you might want to re-consider how you want them displayed

[hidden haven]

Hm, okay, thanks

[sick birch]

Oh and also import sys, that's on me, sorry

[slate swan]

ah okay

gotcha now

[sick birch]

Do you have any other error handlers? If so, do the same things there

Global error handlers can come bite you in the arse if you're not careful

[slate swan]

no I just have all the error handlers in the one function and cog

It's now outputting
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands' has no attribute 'fetch_user'

[sick birch]

There we go, we're getting errors now

[slate swan]

this has been an issue since day one for me

[sick birch]

Now you can do what noid suggested

[slate swan]

I've never had errors so I never knew what was the issue

[sick birch]

Bind the bot instance to the cog, then use it as self.bot

[slate swan]

idk what an instance is I'm sorry lol

[sick birch]

bot = commands.Bot(...)

this is your bot instance

[slate swan]

is it possible to get a users about me section with a discord bot

[sick birch]

!d discord.Member.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information.

Note

A user may have multiple activities, these can be accessed under [`activities`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.activities "discord.Member.activities").

[slate swan]

OHHHH

this?

#bot.py

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', help_command = help_command)```

[sick birch]

So something similar

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

  @commands.command()
  async def my_command(self, ctx: commands.Context, ...) -> None:
    # you can use self.bot to reference the bot instance here

def setup(bot: commands.Bot):
  bot.add_cog(MyCog(bot))

That's traditionally how it's done. If you don't want to do all of that, you can also just use ctx.bot

[slate swan]

so then after this I would do bot.fetch_user()

[sick birch]

Whenever you need to do that, you would do await self.bot.fetch_user()

[slate swan]

so that's what self does then

wondered how that worked

[sick birch]

self refers to the class instance

Itself, essentially

[slate swan]

yeah

[sick birch]

All non-@staticmethod, and all non-@classmethod will have the instance passed as the first variable to them

[slate swan]

what's the difference?

[sick birch]

Between..?

[slate swan]

staticmethod and classmethod

[sick birch]

Not relavant for our usecase, but the more you know the better. Static methods are methods that are part of your class but don't really need an instance. You can just call them like this:

class MyClass:
  @staticmethod
  def static_method():
    ...

MyClass.static_method()

Class methods let you construct a class from some given information:

class MyClass:
  @classmethod
  def class_method(cls):
    return cls(...)

[slate swan]

ah, alright

[sick birch]

But your regular function:

class MyClass:
  def regular_method(self):
    ...

must always take self as the first argument

Same thing with cogs: self first, ctx after

[slate swan]

that I've to be the most annoying

adapting my whole bot for cogs and then not knowing why they dont work

because i didnt include self

[sick birch]

Well, now you know why they don't work

[sick birch]

The thing is, if you don't include self as the first argument, and instead have ctx, then your ctx will actually be self

You expect your context to be of type commands.Context but it's actually the instance

[slate swan]

something I had an issue with hours ago suddenly makes so much sense...

[sick birch]

But we've got your errors fixed so now you should know why something's wrong

[sick birch]

You'll also have one extra argument, and you probably gotten an error for that

[slate swan]

TypeError: Admin.bot_dev() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

I had this about 2 hours ago

I didn't add self, so ctx would have become self right?

and that's why it errored?

[sick birch]

Exactly

[slate swan]

robin with the member.activity and user.status it always returns as None and Offiline even when there online and i can see there activity

🤦‍♀️ I'm an idiot

i have intents enabled

[sick birch]

Both in the dashboard and in your code?

[slate swan]

yep

[glad cradle]

as it is written here it can be none if the user is listening to something on spotify with a title longer than 128char

[sick birch]

You need the presences intents enabled

[slate swan]

it is

[slate swan]

u mean this
