[bold pewter]

Mmm is there any chance we are getting new api stuff in discord.py?

[silk fulcrum]

wdym new api stuff?

[glad cradle]

mh? discord.py 2.0 include all the new things

[bold pewter]

Slash commands ,buttons that kinda of stuff

[glad cradle]

^

[silk fulcrum]

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.0.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[silk fulcrum]

go use them

[bold pewter]

Can you give me a example for slash commands in discord.py 2.0?

[silk fulcrum]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

Shouldn't it be

@commands.has_any_role('')```

no, something like

class Bot(commands.Bot):
     def __init__(self):
          super().__init__(...)
          self.add_command(self.uwu)
     
    @commands.command()
    async def uwu(self, ctx): ...```
modifications can be done as required

[silk fulcrum]

oh

[slate swan]

I'm totally not sure how it would work since never tried it, i might be wrong

[glad cradle]

are you getting any errors?

[bold pewter]

That too my much for my little brain

[deep osprey]

nope

[bold pewter]

How do i add options that only allow to choose channels?

[slate swan]

i dont understand what people even ask for if that is considered as shit 😔

[silk fulcrum]

bruh, it blocked the link

[deep osprey]

check if the channel id in (allowed_channels_here), I guess

[torn sail]

Typehint a parameter with discord.TextChannel or other channel types

[silk fulcrum]

@unkempt canyon do you have antirickroll or what?

[glad cradle]

at least read it

[slate swan]

typehint the argument as typing.Union[discord.VoiceChannel, discord.TextChannel] or discord.abc.GuildChannel

[bold pewter]

Mmmm

[silk fulcrum]

and get category

[bold pewter]

Where do i put it

[glad cradle]

"how to type hint"

as expected

[silk fulcrum]

?tag typehinting

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[silk fulcrum]

gah

[bold pewter]

I need a full blown video tutorial

[slate swan]

!typehint

[unkempt canyon]

Type Hints

A type hint indicates what type a variable is expected to be.

def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

The type hints indicate that for our add function the parameters a and b should be integers, and the function should return an integer when called.

It's important to note these are just hints and are not enforced at runtime.

add("hello ", "world")

The above code won't error even though it doesn't follow the function's type hints; the two strings will be concatenated as normal.

Third party tools like mypy can validate your code to ensure it is type hinted correctly. This can help you identify potentially buggy code, for example it would error on the second example as our add function is not intended to concatenate strings.

mypy's documentation contains useful information on type hinting, and for more information check out this documentation page.

[slate swan]

learning python exists, nobody's going to make a "discord.pyXpython" video lmao

[deep osprey]

so why doesn't this work?

[bold pewter]

I just realised

*found

Pycord has everything

[slate swan]

discord.py does too...

[silk fulcrum]

noooo

[bold pewter]

It's simpler

[slate swan]

pycord is shittier, use disnake

[bold pewter]

@bot.slash_command

That's it

[slate swan]

I dont see how dpy is complicated either

it uses a single decorator too

[bold pewter]

Discord.py doesn't have good documentation for slash commands

[slate swan]

what....

[glad cradle]

💀

it's probably you who can't search

[silk fulcrum]

[glad cradle]

there's an example too in discord.py 💀

[silk fulcrum]

[slate swan]

I had examples in the gist too...

[winged dock]

the code doesnt send why?

[slate swan]

errors?

[winged dock]

Nope.

Runs just doesnt send.

[slate swan]

how do you know it runs

[winged dock]

Beacuse i try my other cmds

They work

[slate swift]

bro when I nuke a channel/purge a channel how can I make the bot say Cleared by {user} i've tried a bunch of ways

[winged dock]

Hmmmm your bot?

[bold pewter]

did you use On_message?

[winged dock]

No.

[winged dock]

Your making a nuke bot aren't you?

[slate swift]

yea I'm trying to get it to say this when i clear a channel Cleared by {author}

[slate swift]

no purge command

[winged dock]

Send your code and sure

[slate swan]

store the purge method in a variable and use the len functio

messages = await channel.purge()
len(messages) ```

[slate swift]

async def nuke(ctx, amount=10000000):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)
    await ctx.send("Cleared by ``{user}``")```

[winged dock]

Or do that

[slate swift]

I'm doing nuke instead of purge

so it clears whole channel

[slate swan]

what thats not a thing either

[bold pewter]

ctx.author

instead of user

[winged dock]

Yup

[glad cradle]

I think that you're exceeding the characters limit for the embed title

[winged dock]

@bot.command()
async def nuke(ctx, amount=10000000):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)
    await ctx.send("Cleared by ``{ctx.author}``")```

[slate swift]

for the tags is it {member.discriminator} ?

[winged dock]

So how would i fix it??

[slate swan]

probably the title limit is exceeding, try putting that text in the description

[winged dock]

Okay

[glad cradle]

set a shorter title and move the rules in the embed description

[bold pewter]

No ctx.author also has name and discriminator

[winged dock]

I did

[slate swan]

and

[glad cradle]

Bot got destroyed

[slate swift]

it does that

[slate swan]

nice

[glad cradle]

!f-string

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

[bold pewter]

It isn't a f string

[slate swift]

oh

[slate swan]

floppy

[glad cradle]

disk

[bold pewter]

Yea?

[slate swan]

swear that you wont use pycord

[bold pewter]

[slate swan]

is cute

[glad cradle]

you should write your own library instead of using pycord, it would be better

[bold pewter]

||I might be using it now||

[glad cradle]

[slate swift]

can someone help me make a simple join on dm message for all servers my bot is in i wanna make the bot say the support server?

[bold pewter]

[bold pewter]

Just use on_member_join event

[slate swan]

[bold pewter]

!on_member_join

[glad cradle]

both

[bold pewter]

Mm

[slate swift]

idk what to do after that 😅

[bold pewter]

Let me get the doc

[slate swift]

async def on_member_join():``` is what ik how to do

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

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

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

[bold pewter]

Pass memeber in

[glad cradle]

to send message to joined members through dm await member.send(yourShitHere)

[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**.

async def

[slate swift]

ik

[glad cradle]

lmao

[slate swift]

i wanted to see what yall would say

[slow fog]

good morning

[bold pewter]

[slate swift]

do i use async or await

[bold pewter]

[slate swift]

[slate swan]

async with def as fn:
    await fn foo(): 
          async with print as p: 
             await print("uwu")

yes.

[glad cradle]

async def on_member_join(member):
    await member.send(yourShitHere)

[slate swift]

do I make it a event

[slate swan]

morning web

[slate swift]

sence it isnt a command

[glad cradle]

that's obvious

[robust fulcrum]

Guys i made a comand that takes a user argument like this mem:discord.Member the mem will be the member object and i can i do this await mem.timeout?

[slate swift]

thats all I need correct?

[slate swan]

yes you can

[bold pewter]

async def on_member_join(member):
    await member.send("Why did you join") 
    await memeber.guild.ban(member)

[glad cradle]

the decorator is not included in my example

[mild lava]

im back once again

[slow fog]

what are you doing currently

[dull terrace]

how do i import from another directory trying to organize code, in font i want to import something from config

[mild lava]

you need an __init__.py file in each folder, empty is fine, and then do from config import config or from utils.font import SomeName

[glad cradle]

he's Danny, he can do everything

[mild lava]

the problem is im not Danny, so i guess i cant use the example code 😔

[dull terrace]

thanks, i got it workin

[dull terrace]

is doing stuff like this to make things a fraction faster and life easier dumb?

so if i need a link button i can just do link.button.patreon

[glad cradle]

Enum exists

[heavy folio]

you are missing the applications.commands scope

[mild lava]

oh 🤦

[heavy folio]

Why do i get MISSING ACCESS when trying to sync my tree to a guild?
The bot does not have the applications.commands scope.
All you have to do is go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and follow steps shown below:
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/381965515721146390/957385902735364186/unknown.png?width=1440&height=515
You do not have to kick your bot from the guild, just re-invite it with the generated URL.

[mild lava]

probably shouldnt be coding at 5 am

looked into enum, idk if it's that useful here seeing as im the only person working on the code

[rugged shadow]

how many gists do you have about dpy

[glad cradle]

it's useful

[glad cradle]

after discord.py docs these are the best docs

[slate swan]

only two

the error is pretty self explanatory

[cerulean shale]

it is showing that it was never awaited if i dont use await

[glad cradle]

await keyword can only be used inside async function

[cerulean shale]

can you explain?

[cerulean shale]

ohk

[glad cradle]

I'm sending a message for you

A change in discord.py 2.0 made all methods related to extensions & cogs async.

Bot.load_extension(), Bot.unload_extension(), Bot.reload_extension(), Bot.add_cog(), and Bot.remove_cog are all coroutines now. This means you need to await them. Functions setup and teardown in extensions must be coroutines now. This means you need to define them with async def.

What is the purpose of this change?
It allows the setup and teardown functions of extensions to be coroutines.

async def setup(bot):
     await bot.add_cog(Commands(bot))

async def teardown(bot):
    return

View more:
Read more about the changes and how you can start your bot here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html#migrating-2-0-commands-extension-cog-async

[cerulean shale]

what should i do here?

[glad cradle]

open the link

and read

[cerulean shale]

ight its loading

got it

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    async def setup_hook(self):
        await self.load_extension('my_extension')

in 'my_extension' place, i can make a list called extensions or so and replace it without ''???

[slate swan]

yeah, for extension in extensions_list: await self.load...

or instead of doing that

import os

#an async context

[await self.load_extension(f"cogs.{file[:-3]}") for file in os.listdir("cogs") if file.endswith(".py") and not file.startswith("_")]

[cerulean shale]

ohk

thx i will try 🥲

[slate swan]

that basically prevents you from having to have a list of all cogs

it dynamically searches for any cogs even if you add new ones

[cerulean shale]

figured that much

thx

[slate swan]

[glad cradle]

can't he use async for?

[slate swan]

but why....

[glad cradle]

coz watermelon says so

[slate swan]

that's an iteration over a list

not a custom iterator

[glad cradle]

then watermelon is a bad suggester

[slate swan]

who even is watermelon

lmao

[glad cradle]

it's you

[slate swan]

jeez

alright, my bad

[glad cradle]

🦆

[mild lava]

aight so i finally got my slash command to work

only problem now is, after syncing to a specific guild while testing, and then syncing globally, i have duplicate commands in my testing server

is there a way to clear guild-specific commands and only keep the global ones?

[slate swan]

either clear all the slashes and sync again

or deal with it

[mild lava]

then how does discord.py expect us to handle all these commands

[slate swan]

handle?

[mild lava]

how exactly do i clear them?

[slate swan]

just

comment out all of them and run your bot which will sync an empty tree with the api, and then uncomment your commands and run it and it'll sync all the commands to the api

[mild lava]

thats a very manual workaround

[slate swan]

yes it is

[mild lava]

*cough* wonder what this is

[slate swan]

hm ic, thanks

but whatever way works you'll have to still run the code twice

[mild lava]

now to make it automatically clear any guild-specific commands when doing a global sync....

looks like im not getting any sleep tonight

[slate swan]

use the guild kwarg

self.bot.tree.clear_commands(guild=discord.Object(id=1234567890987654321))

[mild lava]

yes, but i want to clear guild-specific commands in any guild, so looks like i'll have to fetch

[slate swan]

.

and sync the commands since it only clears the commands from the local cache

[mild lava]

for guild in self.bot.guilds:
    self.bot.tree.clear_commands(guild=guild)
    self.bot.tree.sync(guild=guild)
self.bot.tree.sync()

idk why im typing this here and not in my ide

[slate swan]

stop syncing every iteration

[mild lava]

syncing global commands doesnt affect guild commands

[slate swan]

also if you wanna clear all the commands, just dont specify the guild kwarg

yes.

I know

[mild lava]

if i just clear global commands, all the testing commands will stay

so i need to get rid of those

theres only 2 guilds anyways

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @cerulean shale!

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

[cerulean shale]

are there any mistakes in my cog?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/urelubirap

[mild lava]

whadda ya know it works perfectly

[vocal snow]

why are you asking?

[cerulean shale]

it aint loading

i recently decided to shift to cogs

[vocal snow]

a lot of those error handlers should be condensed into a global handler instead of command-specific ones

[cerulean shale]

i made a load command but even then it aint, it is not even giving any errors

[cerulean shale]

that might be the issue???

[vocal snow]

maybe. I'm just saying it's a lot of unnecessary code

[robust fulcrum]

Guys why i am getting this error

[vocal snow]

Missing Permissions

[robust fulcrum]

But i have permissions

[vocal snow]

There are are like 4 different errors here

are you printing the error in your handler

[cerulean shale]

ok i will change it

[robust fulcrum]

No in the comand error listener

[vocal snow]

yes

don't print it

[robust fulcrum]

Do i do raise error?

[vocal snow]

raise the error or use the traceback module

[robust fulcrum]

Ok I'll use traceback module

[ionic edge]

    @commands.hybrid_command(name='response' , description = 'Gives The Response')
    @app_commands.guilds(1008758498789695508)

    async def response(self,ctx, * , member : discord.Member , response : Literal['accept', 'reject']):
        channel = self.client.get_channel(1010106207865933934)  
        if (response == 'accept'):
            await channel.send(f'{member.mention} has been accepted')
            await ctx.send(f" {member}'s Form ||Accepted|| By {ctx.author.mention}")
        if (response == 'reject'):
            await channel.send(f'{member.mention} has been declined')
            await ctx.send(f" {member}'s Form ||Rejected|| By {ctx.author.mention}")```

this is my code

this command is not working

but the slash command is working

[robust fulcrum]

I got this error

[vocal snow]

well it's giving you Missing Permissions for something

[robust fulcrum]

But bro i have permissions

[cerulean shale]

can i do this?

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return
      
    elif message.content.lower() == 'no u':
      await message.channel.send('no u')

    elif message.content.lower() == 'f':
      await message.channel.send(f'{message.author.display_name} paid their respects.')

    elif message.content.startswith('i am'):
      value = message.content.split("i am ", 1)[1]
      await message.channel.send(f'Hello {value}, I am Dad.')

    elif message.content.startswith('imagine'):
      value = message.content.split("imagine ", 1)[1]
      await message.channel.send(f'I can\'t even imagine {value}.')

[vocal snow]

role hierarchy matters too

[robust fulcrum]

I have highest role ;-;

[vocal snow]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[vocal snow]

exactly?

the bot's role needs to be higher than whoever it's doing an action on

[robust fulcrum]

I tried to apply timeout on the bot itself

[robust fulcrum]

Is there any error handler that notifies when bot need higher role?

[silk fulcrum]

just usual error handler

and check if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions)

[cerulean shale]

can i? or is there any error in it?

            await f.write("\n")            
        else:
            await ctx.reply("Already there!")``` why doesn't that work? no output or errors

[vocal snow]

why are you using a txt file?

just use json or pickle or something

[deep osprey]

is there any tutorial?

[vocal snow]

im not sure, if you google it you'll probably find something since they are very common forms of serialization

[deep osprey]

https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_json.asp this tutorial?

[silk fulcrum]

yeah, there is pretty much enough for you

[vocal snow]

that doesn't show how to use it with files

[silk fulcrum]

oh yeah bruh

[vocal snow]

https://realpython.com/python-json/

this is better @deep osprey

depending on what you're doing a db might be better as well

[deep osprey]

which is easier and faster?

[silk fulcrum]

just go here https://realpython.com/python-json/#serializing-json

there is about files

[vocal snow]

well it depends on what all you're storing

[robust fulcrum]

    @mute.error
    async def muteerr(self,ctx,error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
            embe = errorembed.error()
            embed = embe.perm("kick_members")
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Guys why this error handler not working
My bot is raising the error instead of handling it

[vocal snow]

if you're just going to be storing channel IDs json is fine

[deep osprey]

i am just storing channel ids

[silk fulcrum]

what is errorembed

show it's code

[robust fulcrum]

That have not error

[silk fulcrum]

@robust fulcrum

[robust fulcrum]

Fine

[robust fulcrum]

class error:
    def missingargs(self,args):
        args = str(args)
        embed = Embed(
            title = "Missing argument ",
            description = f"`{args}` was not provided",
            color = Color.red()
        )
        return embed

    def voiceerror(self):
        embed = Embed(
            title = "Voice channel",
            description = f"Please join a voice channel first",
            color = Color.red()
        )
        return embed

    def perm(self,perm):
        embed = Embed(
            title = "Missing permission",
            description = f"Missing `{perm}` permission",
            color = Color.red()
        )
        return embed

[pulsar solstice]

yo how can I host my bot for free?

pls

[bold pewter]

[pulsar solstice]

I love coding bots but there is no way to get it 24/7

[silk fulcrum]

check threads of this channel

[deep osprey]

data = {
    "channels": {
        "id1": "112233",
        "id2": "332211"
    }
}``` so is this an example of json file?

[robust fulcrum]

@silk fulcrum

[silk fulcrum]

i see

[bold pewter]

No

[robust fulcrum]

So?

[bold pewter]

{
    "channels": {
        "id1": "112233",
        "id2": "332211"
    }
}

[bold pewter]

[silk fulcrum]

try printing something after you provide if, like py if isinstance(...): print('here') ...

[robust fulcrum]

Okay

[silk fulcrum]

{
    "channel_ids": [
        111214324,
        152135239
    ]
}```

[vocal snow]

Why the dictionary

Just have a list directly

[robust fulcrum]

It not printed

[silk fulcrum]

do print(type(error)) before the if

[deep osprey]

channels = [111,222,333] ?

[silk fulcrum]

json?

[vocal snow]

Json != Dictionary

[silk fulcrum]

and what?

oh i see

{"channel_ids":[11243241, 13251236]}```

[vocal snow]

[
    111,
    22,
    33,
]

[silk fulcrum]

wait what

json can hold just a list of ids?

[robust fulcrum]

Nothing was printed

[silk fulcrum]

then your error handler doesn't get triggrered

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm

[idle haven]

Hey

[vocal snow]

!e ```py
import json
json.loads("[1,2,3]")

[unkempt canyon]

@vocal snow :warning: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[No output]

[vocal snow]

^

[robust fulcrum]

What should I do now?

[silk fulcrum]

if you dont have error handler what happens?

[robust fulcrum]

Error raises?

[silk fulcrum]

what error

[robust fulcrum]

The error it is giving

What are you trying to say?

[silk fulcrum]

can you send traceback?

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[deep osprey]

{"channels":[11243241, 13251236]}``` so this should be my json file?

[silk fulcrum]

no

[silk fulcrum]

[35435425, 575868]``` should be in it

[deep osprey]

just a list without a name?

[silk fulcrum]

yes

oops ping

[deep osprey]

then how am I gonna check if the channel.id in that json file?

[silk fulcrum]

if channel_id in loaded_list

whats the problem

[deep osprey]

sorry but I still don't get why using json is better than using .txt file?

[vocal snow]

It handles the serialization for you

And if required you can store more complex data

Besides, txt files aren't meant for this

[deep osprey]

so do I have to add manually channel ids in the code of the bot?

or the command handles that?

[vocal snow]

I'm not sure what you're saying

In the command you just append the new channel ID to the list

[deep osprey]

without json, it does that but when I restart my bot, channel ids are removed

would json fix that?

[vocal snow]

Yes

Since you're writing to storage

[deep osprey]

channels = [1008214910498508872]
@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def addchannel(ctx: commands.Context, channel: discord.TextChannel) -> None:
    with open("data.json", "w+") as f:
        json.dump(channels,f)``` so this should be my code?

[glad cradle]

why you have channel as parameter if you don't use it

[deep osprey]

I will use it later but I am just making sure if this is the correct way

[vale wing]

!d json.dump takes 2 arguments at least

[unkempt canyon]

json.dump

json.dump(obj, fp, *, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, cls=None, indent=None, separators=None, default=None, sort_keys=False, **kw)```
Serialize *obj* as a JSON formatted stream to *fp* (a `.write()`-supporting [file-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-file-like-object)) using this [conversion table](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#py-to-json-table).

If *skipkeys* is true (default: `False`), then dict keys that are not of a basic type ([`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str"), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "int"), [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "float"), [`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "bool"), `None`) will be skipped instead of raising a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError").

The [`json`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#module-json "json: Encode and decode the JSON format.") module always produces [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str") objects, not [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") objects. Therefore, `fp.write()` must support [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str") input.

If *ensure\_ascii* is true (the default), the output is guaranteed to have all incoming non-ASCII characters escaped. If *ensure\_ascii* is false, these characters will be output as-is.

This is not 100% discord-bot related, but I would like some help. I am trying to make a leveling system, that every message is around 20 xp. I am having trouble on how to make the ranks, as in what rank should the member be by his xp. I need an algorithm I guess, but no idea what algo and how to use it in the code. Anyone can suggest any idea?

[simple kettle]

is there a way to get rid of these kind of errors? Ignoring exception in command None: discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "suuke" is not found

[slate swan]

I generally do something like

but okay, since there are a lot of other ways to do the same

[vocal snow]

Send full code

[novel prairie]

oh wait nvm i fixed it

i want to use rgb colors in a embed i tried this: py color=discord.Color.from_rgb(ff0000))) but it didnt work

[vocal snow]

That isn't rgb

!d discord.Colour.from_rgb

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour.from\_rgb

classmethod from_rgb(r, g, b)```
Constructs a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour") from an RGB tuple.

[vocal snow]

See the params

[novel prairie]

so what do i need to change?

[vocal snow]

That's for you to decide

[novel prairie]

like that? py color=classmethod from_rgb(ff, 00, 00)

@vocal snow

[ionic edge]

io wanna make it respond

[novel prairie]

huh?

[vocal snow]

If you want to use a hex value then you can pass a hex literal to discord.Color directly

[spring flax]

is that a prefix command?

[slate swan]

nice python syntax

[ionic edge]

slash command

[spring flax]

then why are you using ctx?

interaction is the convention for that. ctx is convention for prefix commands

!d discord.Interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[spring flax]

Use attributes from the class above

[ionic edge]

hybrid command

@spring flax

[spring flax]

never used that. Not sure how it works

[maiden fable]

Ever saw the ctx and interaction meme? 👀

[spring flax]

Uhh no I don't think so

[slate swan]

Why are programming memes so cringe

[dull terrace]

i can't take any more organizing but i've only finished the config and utils so far

[slate swan]

why-

[vocal snow]

when each file has 1 line of code

[slate swan]

too smart

[dull terrace]

it's just under 5k lines of code total

[slate swan]

that's not much corresponding to the amount of files

that's even further going than django

[dull terrace]

idk, all the sections make sense in my brain and they're all probably going to grow in size by the time im done

[slate swan]

that's cool, all the best

[maiden fable]

Why u using the pickle module tho? 👀

[maiden fable]

Courtesy of disnake

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how can I check the user have mute permission (text channels)?

[dull terrace]

stuff that isn't really important or worth making a table for

should probably at some point

[maiden fable]

Mute permission?

Tf is that?

[maiden fable]

okay...

[dull terrace]

you never throw stuff in pickle when you're being lazy?

[vocal snow]

Marshal !!

[maiden fable]

Ngl, I am hearing the module's name first time but people say pickle is better?

[maiden fable]

I never used pickle except for school lol

[dull terrace]

pickle is very slow but easy

you can basically throw any object into it to save

[maiden fable]

Not any object iirc
U can't throw in things like invite objects, can u?

[dull terrace]

you can't put in discord objects, tried that when i was first starting out

[maiden fable]

That's sad ngl

[vale wing]

I made entire "database" based on pickle files

It was breaking every month and I was losing all the data lmfao

[dull terrace]

i had one massive dictionary that was about 5 layers deep

containing every user

[slate swan]

you meant timing members out?

[robust fulcrum]

Ye

@slate swan

[slate swan]

!d discord.Permissions.moderate_members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions.moderate\_members

how to make welcome messgae in nextcord? Video's code not working

👍

I think I found tutorial they watched

[slate swan]

hi guys how can i add a button to button. i have a shop command (.shop) which brings up multiple buttons to different things i sell. once they’ve chosen a tool to preview i want to add a buy button and a back button. can anyone help me with that

[silk fulcrum]

to add buttons to the view you just do view.add_item(new_button) for each button and then edit the message with that view await message.edit(..., view=view)

[slate swan]

oh ok

so i’m just editing the message so it sends another button?

[silk fulcrum]

what did you not unsertand?

[slate swan]

well ik how to add buttons with .add_item

[silk fulcrum]

if you want to remove a button and place the other instead do view.remove_item(old_button) and then view.add_item(new_button)

[slate swan]

ye i don’t want remove it i just want to add a button to the new message

it’s kind of hard to explain i’ll try find an example

[silk fulcrum]

ok...

[vale wing]

Just delete main shop message and send the new with the new view, that's the common practice

[silk fulcrum]

why not edit

[hushed galleon]

thats common practice? you can edit the message with your new components too

[vale wing]

Why are people so word picky

[silk fulcrum]

🤓 😳

[cold sonnet]

why is the implementation of interactions so bad

[slate swan]

blame discord API for that

how would that work though because i’m not trying to just edit or delete the button i’m trying to add a new one once they’ve clicked on a button

[cold sonnet]

nah I literally mean danny changed everything but it was so unnecessary

[maiden fable]

Dani sounds like Danny 👀

[cold sonnet]

what's the point of interaction.send_message instead of interaction.send

it's so inconsistent

[slate swan]

because when u make a button and press it it gets rid of what u just pressed

[maiden fable]

I agree!

[hushed galleon]

@slate swan id suggest having your view keep track of which item the user has selected and on click, update all the buttons your view will have afterwards

[slate swan]

wasn't it create_response or something?

[slate swan]

that’s exactly what i want but have no clue how to do that lmao

or maybe im mixing up libraries

[vale wing]

Ikr that's why I prefer disnake

[cold sonnet]

what

never heard of that

[slate swan]

^ lol

[cold sonnet]

yeah... hikari maybe?

[slate swan]

they renamed some stuff from message to response though

[silk fulcrum]

cus there is send_modal

[cold sonnet]

is a modal sent in a message

[slate swan]

yeah~
https://www.hikari-py.dev/hikari/interactions/command_interactions.html#hikari.interactions.command_interactions.AutocompleteInteraction.create_response

[vale wing]

Why is it named like some anime thing

[silk fulcrum]

hikari weird

[silk fulcrum]

hikaru is a chess grandmaster 💀

[hushed galleon]

its just a word for light

[slate swan]

its a Japanese word for light

[cold sonnet]

nakamura

[silk fulcrum]

magnus carlsen

[cold sonnet]

andrew tate's dad

[vale wing]

Yes but I doubt the lib was named in his honor

[silk fulcrum]

ofc it was

[vale wing]

Ah so that's why there's lightbulb thing or smth

[cold sonnet]

light.lightbulb

[hushed galleon]

store the state you need in your View like the list of tools, which tool is selected, etc., and you can update your embed+buttons whenever the user clicks based on your state

[slate swan]

its a command handled , just like discord.py has discord.ext.commands

[slate swan]

Can u send me link because i cant find it

hikari tends to be low levelled

[vale wing]

!d nextcord.on_member_join

[silk fulcrum]

btw hikaru has a meme about lightbulb

[slate swan]

so it does not have an inbuilt cmd handler

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.on\_member\_join

nextcord.on_member_join(member)``````py

nextcord.on_member_remove(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Member "nextcord.Member") leaves or joins a [`Guild`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Guild "nextcord.Guild").

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

What does discord API wrapper have to do with a chess grandmaster (same question for "light" but ok)

[silk fulcrum]

wrap him using discord API

[vale wing]

Ah yes, that's the common practice

[dense cedar]

Hello, I have a Discord bot in Python. There is an embed message in the ticket section of my bot. To open the ticket, I want to change the message in the embed and send the embed again.

[supple ridge]

can you be more specific please?

[dense cedar]

Changes in the embed and sending it again in the channel

[supple ridge]

uh then you wish to delete this?, cuz then you will have to code the second embed and again send it like u sent the first one.

[sage otter]

You can do something along the lines of

emb = discord.Embed(description="hi")
msg = await ctx.send(embed=emb)
emb.description = "hello"
await msg.edit(embed=emb)

This is an example

Just assign your embed object to a variable. Edit it after you send the original embed and edit the message you sent with the new embed

[spare urchin]

@client.slash_command(name='emojiinfo', description='Shows info about an emoji')
async def infofemoji(ctx, emoji:str=SlashOption(description='Valid emoji in the server')):
  name = emoji.name

im trying to make an emoji info command
As you can see here I passed in emoji as str and it gives me error saying that str object has no attribute name
If i try to pass in emoji as nextcord.Emoji it will not work as nextcord.Emoji cant be used in slash commands
Is there a way i can resolve this issue??

[hollow rivet]

What can you do with discord.py without creating a bot account

[silk fulcrum]

printing it's version

getting errors

deleting it

[hollow rivet]

There's no way to interact with discord without a bot account then?

[silk fulcrum]

it's designed for discord bots so

idk maybe im stupid and it has functionalities for applications, not bots

but iirc it doesn't

[hollow rivet]

I'm trying to pull some messages from a group dm automatically, is that possible?

[sage otter]

RestCord exist

It’s not python tho

It’s php.

[silk fulcrum]

php good

php has laravel btw, which is good

so php good

[hollow rivet]

Idk php

[silk fulcrum]

learn php

it's good

[hollow rivet]

Is there a way to do this

[sage otter]

idk about all of that.

[silk fulcrum]

!pypi restcord

[unkempt canyon]

Restcord v1.0.8

Restcord is a rest API wrapper for the Discord API, but this one does not include WebSockets, this is for people who dont want websockets but only make requests to the api.

[silk fulcrum]

wait what 😳

[sage otter]

You’d have to selfbot

Which isn’t allowed

[hollow rivet]

I see

Why not allow self bots and give them limited access

It seems self bots are useful

[shrewd apex]

...

there is everything nowadays

[silk fulcrum]

oh that is not the same as php's restcord lmao

[shrewd apex]

[sage otter]

I only knew of phps restcord 🤷‍♂️

[dense cedar]

I don't know how to code

[spare urchin]

Anyone can help me solve this...

[glad cradle]

self Bots already have ratelimit and token but they're not documented and they're not meant to be used as automized script/app (do you think that your account doesn't have a limit to the requests that it can make to discord?)

[hollow rivet]

`import restcord
import asyncio

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
client = restcord.Restcord(token="Your token here")

async def test():
guild = await client.get_guild("Some guild id of a guild that ur bot/user account is in")
print(guild.dict)

loop.run_until_complete(test())`
In the examples it says this, does that mean you can use it with a user account

[hollow rivet]

I just want to get some messages from a group dm

[sage otter]

I recommend not doing whatever you're thinking about doing with that library. No matter if the reason is good or not, Discord doesn’t want you automating your account

[glad cradle]

from a group Dm you can if you invite your Bot

[hollow rivet]

You can't invite a bot to a group dm

[glad cradle]

but it should be a Group DM

[hollow rivet]

Ok i understand

[glad cradle]

can't the Bot create a group Dm?

I'm not sure with the Dm things

[hollow rivet]

How do you even add a bot to your friend list

[glad cradle]

with the sussy magic

[hollow rivet]

??

[shrewd apex]

imagine being so lonely

[hushed galleon]

its a user-only endpoint so bots cant use it

you can still find it documented in the 1.7.3 version of dpy before they removed support for it entirely

[hollow rivet]

I guess i'll figure something out ty

[spare urchin]

@client.slash_command(name='emojiinfo', description='Shows info about an emoji')
async def infofemoji(ctx, emoji:str=SlashOption(description='Valid emoji in the server')):
  name = emoji.name

im trying to make an emoji info command
As you can see here I passed in emoji as str and it gives me error saying that str object has no attribute name
If i try to pass in emoji as nextcord.Emoji it will not work as nextcord.Emoji cant be used in slash commands
Is there a way i can resolve this issue??

[vale wing]

Just make requests to discord API

[sick birch]

Well you still need a bot token or your oauth access token

[vale wing]

Yes

I just scrolled the conversation and found out he might need this

[hollow rivet]

Guys, if you need a bot to do stuff, what are these other checkboxes for

[vale wing]

One sec ima link you the table

[slate swan]

bot & application.commands ( if you want app commands)

[vale wing]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#shared-resources-oauth2-scopes

[slate swan]

whats the messages.read scope? something like message intents?

[sick birch]

These are for oauth

[hollow rivet]

What is an "app" exactly, is it just the program?

[sick birch]

An app is one step higher than your bot

A bot is part of an app

An app can also be discord RPC for your game, it can also be an oauth thingy

[hollow rivet]

What's rpc

[vale wing]

Rich presence

[hollow rivet]

Mhm ok

[vale wing]

A thing registered by your account that allows you to interact with discord API through tokens given by app's oauth

[sick birch]

Developers of games can hook up discord to it so that other discord members can see what you’re doing inside of a game

[hollow rivet]

How do i get discord aproval

[vale wing]

In case of bots the token is given in a bit different way than oauth

[vale wing]

Why do you need this

[hollow rivet]

Isn't that what i'd need to get the messages from the group dm

[vale wing]

Why do you need to get messages from there

[hollow rivet]

Cuz people say some funny stuff there and i want to automatically do stuff with it

[sick birch]

You can ask discord but I doubt the likelihood of it

[vale wing]

Why can't they say funny stuff in a server

what's the point of group DMs anyway

[hollow rivet]

Cuz we already have the group dm

[manic aurora]

is there a way to send a messages for new commits in Github?

[silk fulcrum]

why can't you add the bot to your group

[silk fulcrum]

yes

[vale wing]

Well you are 99% not getting approval from discord with such reason

[manic aurora]

how

[hollow rivet]

Alright its whatever

[manic aurora]

or what should i look for

[silk fulcrum]

!pypi pip install github.py

[unkempt canyon]

pip v22.2.2

The PyPA recommended tool for installing Python packages.

[hollow rivet]

You can't add a bot as a friend

[silk fulcrum]

!pypi github.py

[unkempt canyon]

github.py v0.5.0

An asynchronous Python wrapper for the GitHub API, v4.

[vale wing]

Ah yes pip install pip

[silk fulcrum]

Um, actually, you can

[sick birch]

I have many friends on discord 🤔

[vale wing]

Screw wrappers I am raw requests man (except discord because too much stuff)

[hollow rivet]

How?

[hollow rivet]

Wut lol

[vale wing]

Just name your alt "Bot" and add it

[hollow rivet]

Lol wut then i'd still need a self bot

[sick birch]

sometimes I feel like a bot

just wake up and beep beep boop boop 🤖

[hollow rivet]

Don't we all

[silk fulcrum]

beep boop baap

[hollow rivet]

;)

[manic aurora]

there are no examples on how to use it =(

[vale wing]

Imagine using github wrapper

[silk fulcrum]

bruh i think that lib is dead

[manic aurora]

ou

[vale wing]

What version does github API have rn

[manic aurora]

so is there any way to send if there's a commit without that library?

[slate swan]

just read the docs
https://docs.shiney.dev/github/dotcom/latest/client/client/

[vale wing]

Of course just make an API call

[silk fulcrum]

where did you j=find that

[vale wing]

Why do y'all even use wrappers for so easy APIs

[silk fulcrum]

docs links in pypi are not working

[silk fulcrum]

why not

[slate swan]

from the github repo

[silk fulcrum]

bruv

[slate swan]

https://github.com/ShineyDev/github

[slate swan]

😔 just create a wrapper in your project

[vale wing]

Less dependencies

[shrewd apex]

how that even matter since PPL made them let's do them a favour and use it

if it's like just a smol usage u can make ur own ig tho

2 problems:

1. there's no such thing as message.send
2. response wasn't defined, you probably meant res

[cerulean shale]

shouldnt we get the results from api?

[sick birch]

3. don't make a new aiohttp.ClientSession for every request

[cerulean shale]

.

ok will try

[potent spear]

4. you can't have spaces in urls, so if your message content contained them, your url would've been invalid
   spaces usually get replaced by + in urls, but you can use dedicated libs to "convert" strings to valid urls etc

[potent spear]

that's not the issue yet
make sure you can send a result back first, before parsing the json 🤷‍♂️

[cerulean shale]

i am shifting over to cogs as my code was getting messy

and i somehow got 2 of my other cogs work

and now i am tryint to fix this cog and i use load command to load the cogs as i am still on fixing my cogs first

[slate swan]

i think they use %s instead of +, not too sure though nvm it was some other api

[cerulean shale]

yeah it uses % instead of +

any idea on how i can do it?

[slate swan]

.replace(" ", "%")

jeez

[vocal snow]

you shouldn't need to do that manually

surely aiohttp handles url encoding

[potent spear]

just use a lib for that at this point

[radiant parrot]

can someone help, my discord bot seems to not be seeing messages or just not replying

[vocal snow]

if you're on 2.0 make sure to enable message_content intents

[radiant parrot]

how do u do that again? thhx

[vocal snow]

!intents

[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.

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[potent spear]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html?highlight=migrating#intents-are-now-required

[potent spear]

this is outdated since v2 became stable
the code still works, just the explanation isn't complete

[vocal snow]

well it does mention message content in the first para

i think its complete, am I missing something

[potent spear]

yup, I was wrong

I thought message_content would've been enabled by default in v2, I guess not

[radiant parrot]

let me send my code in as still hvaing an issue 🙂

[potent spear]

just the traceback is enough

nice codeblocks

[radiant parrot]

haha

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ahayebodal

[potent spear]

you forgot to pass in the intents in the Client constructor

[vocal snow]

and consider using the commands extension instead of parsing the command manually

[potent spear]

discord.Client(..., intents = intents)

[vocal snow]

you also forgot to enable the message content intents

which is kinda the main issue

[potent spear]

seemed like a copy pasta to me

[radiant parrot]

its my mate's code that he wants to implement on server

still dnt wanna work :/

[potent spear]

you have to read through this tho, just copy pasting isn't enough

you most likely never toggled the message content intent on in discord dev portal

[vocal snow]

putting code examples in tags is a double-edged sword

[final walrus]

mysql.connector.errors.DatabaseError: 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction

Does somebody know why that happens when I run multiple instances of my command?

[vocal snow]

shouldn't you be using app_commands.Range

Range[int, 1, None]

[vocal snow]

are you connecting to the database everytime you run the command?

and you should use aiomysql if you aren't already

[final walrus]

yes

and I'm closing it

every time

[vocal snow]

why though

just connect once and use that throughout

could also consider a connection pool

[final walrus]

hmmm

[silk fulcrum]

Are Options possible in hybrid_commands? Like if I use it same as in an app command will it work for app command and if it works what will it be for a message command?

[glad cradle]

i'm using disnake, btw it's a discord's shitty problem

[final walrus]

makes sense.. Would that fix the issue though?

it's elipsis

ids are too long to be integer in discord

really cringe

[slate swan]

thats more of a javascript limitation, not Discord's

!black ?

[slate swan]

im aware, but does disnake allow that?

!pip black its a package

[unkempt canyon]

black v22.6.0

The uncompromising code formatter.

[glad cradle]

yes

[slate swan]

i see

so the issue was a long integer?

it will work if the table name and attributes given there are correct, and you provide Correct placeholder values while executing the query

syntax wise, its correct

[glad cradle]

yes

I've type hinted as str

and converted as int in my code

[slate swan]

whats the data type of number? you provide a string there

[stiff steeple]

anyone know whas wrtong

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands

[stiff steeple]

wdym

how do i fixc

[bitter hill]

hello am new to python and am trying to make a python bot that logs into my account and searches for channels in all guilds named "test" and posts a specific test if anyone can help me with that lmk pls

[slate swan]

you need to import modules before using them sir

[slate swan]

the thing is, automating user accounts is against discord ToS and we can't help with that here ( rule 5)

[bitter hill]

oh i see

[slate swan]

you can use a bot for the same purpose

[bitter hill]

it'd take long to add the bot

to all the servers

[slate swan]

data type of the number column in your table?...

[cerulean shale]

yo how to get guild region? guild.region aint working

[slate swan]

you should have used INT or BIGINT for a numerical value

[stiff steeple]

what commands should I use bro

[slate swan]

and whats USERID? int or bigint? ( should ne BIGINT)

oh yes

[cerulean shale]

is my message invisible or something?

[slate swan]

that feature is deprecated

do you have the UPDATE rostercap in that query or not

and data type for GUILDID?

why don't you check it lol

[glad cradle]

invisible message is not deprecated

!pypi aiofiles use aiofiles, with open(...) is blocking your code

[slate swan]

yea, delete the table and recreate it witj new query

[slate swan]

the question was about Guild.region

[slate swan]

^

[glad cradle]

a

[slate swan]

GUILDID should be the primary key with BIGINT data type
NUMBER should be INT or BIGINT

change the number variable to an integer

if its an argument, yes

what are the differences between discord.py and disnake?

UPDATE rostercap
SET NUMBER= %s
WHERE GUILDID = %s

[slate swan]

im new to python, where do i place it?

[slate swan]

disnake is a fork of discord.py
the major difference between them for now is application commands implementation

disnake is comparatively easier

eh write it inside a string

[slate swan]

and the disnake code is the same or similar to discord.py?

like you did earlier

[glad cradle]

aiofiles is a module

import aiofiles

replace your file operations with

async with aiofiles.open("filename") as f:
    content = await f.read()

[slate swan]

TypeError: Messageable.send() got an unexpected keyword argument 'components'

[slate swan]

90% same, other than app commands

[slate swan]

don't use discord-components

[slate swan]

i didnt

why are you using the components kwarh then

[slate swan]

it's better to spend 2-3 days reading all the documentation if there are any tutorials

[slate swan]

idk how to make buttons can you help me?

[slate swan]

thought its built in

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

[slate swan]

its nothing too different
most of your old discord.py code will work in Disnake
the docs are similar to discord.py as well

[slate swan]

thanks pretty cool 👍

[glad cradle]

the bigger changes are in the ui kit

[slate swan]

and you think that if I'm just starting with python, I can write in disnake right away or should I learn discord.py

[glad cradle]

a Discord Bot is not a python begginer project

[kindred epoch]

you should learn python first

[slate swan]

like that, but I prefer to learn from something that I will use in practice

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: 'await' outside function

[glad cradle]

A change in discord.py 2.0 made all methods related to extensions & cogs async.

Bot.load_extension(), Bot.unload_extension(), Bot.reload_extension(), Bot.add_cog(), and Bot.remove_cog are all coroutines now. This means you need to await them. Functions setup and teardown in extensions must be coroutines now. This means you need to define them with async def.

What is the purpose of this change?
It allows the setup and teardown functions of extensions to be coroutines.

async def setup(bot):
     await bot.add_cog(Commands(bot))

async def teardown(bot):
    return

you could also do

asyncio.run(main())

class MyBot(commands.Bot):

i can do it like this correct?

[glad cradle]

you should install PyNaCl

!pypi PyNaCl

[unkempt canyon]

PyNaCl v1.5.0

Python binding to the Networking and Cryptography (NaCl) library

[glad cradle]

it's more complex, the example that I sent is easier

[slate swan]

it's better to install it through pip install -U discord.py[voice] 'cause version issues

[silk fulcrum]

they're most likely not gonna be used a lot, and probably I will even remove them

thanks btw

[pliant gulch]

If the only thing your subclassing the bot for is setting setup_hook you can just use .event

bot = ...

@bot.event
async def setup_hook() -> None:

[hollow rivet]

Ah ok

do \:emoji: to see it's code and then use it for your bot, eg.
\:brainmon: = !brainmon

await ctx.send("My beautiful emoji: ![brainmon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/439516188771483658.webp?size=128 "brainmon") ")```

(works for diff servers too)

[limber bison]

i have in this form it working in my server but in different server

[silk fulcrum]

most likely your bot doesn't have the permission to send custom emojis

[limber bison]

how can i gime >

it's called the same

i found, Use External Emojis

[limber bison]

how can i use it ?

[slate swift]

? so what do i do..

[silk fulcrum]

what? how can't you install aiofiles? how's that possible?

[silk fulcrum]

anyways, what's the error?

[slate swan]

local host blocks all incoming downloads from pypi and etc.

[slate swan]

await coro(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: on_guild_channel_create() missing 1 required positional argument: 'channel'```

[silk fulcrum]

no self

this is not in a cog

so remove it

[silk fulcrum]

C:\Users\dynam\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe -m pip install PyNaCl, there must be a better way, but im too tired, btw you could've remembered it yourself, cus you had this problem already

[slate swift]

async def leave(ctx):
    if (ctx.voice_client):
        await ctx.guild.voice_client.disconnect()
        await ctx.send("I left the voice channel")
    else:
        await ctx.send("I am not in a voice channel")```

anyone know why my leave command doesn't work the bot says "I am not in a voice channel" even tho it is

nvm it works

[deep osprey]

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def addchannel(ctx: commands.Context, channel: discord.TextChannel) -> None:
    with open("data.json", "a") as f:
        json.dump(channel.id,f)```how to make this code write channel id in a list because .json file looks like this ```json
112233```

[idle laurel]

when creating a slash subcommand is it possible to keep the main command function-able?

[hollow rivet]

How do i do it in the title

[slate swan]

In the title you can't, you can put an embed "author" though

[silk fulcrum]

not possible, only if the whole title will be a hyperlink, then url kwarg

[slate swan]

Or maybe it also works in title, it's just a different kwarg

[mild lava]

Master32 youre still here?

[slate swan]

Yeah makes sense that it works for both kek

[silk fulcrum]

emb = discord.Embed(title="Click me!", url="https://never-gonna-give-you-up.com/")```

[hollow rivet]

Thanks

[silk fulcrum]

no me not yes, why?

[mild lava]

i went to sleep and just woke up and its like you havent moved lol

[silk fulcrum]

lmao

[slate swan]

delete that screenshot

[deep osprey]

hide ur token

[primal token]

Reset your token lol

[mild lava]

uh you just sent your token

[slate swan]

contains your token

[rough moss]

sryy

[mild lava]

go regenerate it and use environment variables

[deep osprey]

go reset it

[mild lava]

and next time send code not screenshot pls

[primal token]

either way it should be in an env file

[slate swan]

go on the developer portal and reset your token now, you never know if there are bots in this server etc.

[rough moss]

now its OK

[deep osprey]

reset it first

[mild lava]

did you regenerate it?

[primal token]

watch the issue be the bot detects its own messages and cause recursion lol

[hybrid fjord]

how do i do this for multiple roles?

[slate swan]

Main problem for now is the light theme

[rough moss]

YE

[mild lava]

whats with people sending screenshots

[mild lava]

alright, copy-paste the code here with formatting, then we can take a look

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

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

[slate swan]

Better screenshots than sending code without formatting

[rough moss]

so can someone write skript for me?

[primal token]

no

[slate swan]

We don't write for you

[mild lava]

no. we can help you figure out whats wrong

[slate swan]

They guide you and help you figure out what's the issue

[silk fulcrum]

!rule 8

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

8. Do not help with ongoing exams. When helping with homework, help people learn how to do the assignment without doing it for them.

[primal token]

Whats wrong with the color white?🤨

[hybrid fjord]

?

[mild lava]

after this, i'll have to teach you about environment variables

[silk fulcrum]

?tag lighttheme

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[silk fulcrum]

uh

[primal token]

:kek:

[silk fulcrum]

[mild lava]
