[slate swan]

Lol ok glad your doing well

[vocal snow]

yepp

[junior verge]

so it can grow in more than 100 servers?

[slate swan]

What’s wrong with him :(

[primal token]

what isnt

[vocal snow]

theyre the same ppl

[shrewd apex]

this chat going crazy coz oki is missing

[slate swan]

Idk every dpy developer I’ve met has made a bot, not finished it and kept it locked away in a server

[primal token]

can we change the topic now? over this nonsense?

[shrewd apex]

put up wanted posters

[grim oar]

He talks so much like him bro it gotta be him

[slate swan]

Doesn’t want his secret revealed

[shrewd apex]

totally not me

[woeful tendon]

now its saying my TOKEN is the error 😩

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

Send your code

[hollow lantern]

How do I assign a variable to whatever this returns? await message.channel.fetch_message(message_id)

[slate swan]

var = await message.whatever()

[primal token]

?!?

[woeful tendon]

import discord
import os
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.all())
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"{client.user} logged in now!")

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith("$greet"):
await message.channel.send(f"Hello! How are you {message.author}")
elif "$thought" in message.content:
response = phrases[random.randint(0, len(phrases) - 1)]
await message.channel.send(response)

my_secret = os.environ['TOKEN]
client.run(my_secret)

[slate swan]

You missed a ‘

[woeful tendon]

Wait where?

[slate swan]

Second to last line

You see it says ‘TOKEN and not ‘TOKEN’

[silk fulcrum]

!code btw

[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]

Quick reminder that errors tell you the problem

[woeful tendon]

Ohh

[silk fulcrum]

they acutally do

[vocal snow]

ok sry

[dull terrace]

last one is printing dir

[woeful tendon]

Alright lemme try it out

[slate swan]

I hate you

[vocal snow]

have you ever made a dpy wrapper noid

[primal token]

yes? i have

[swift pumice]

!e
print('hi guys')

[unkempt canyon]

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

[slate swan]

Is that mr robor in your pfp

[primal token]

i had a whole discussion about it lol

[swift pumice]

[shrewd apex]

he meant he loves u that was google keyboard

[junior verge]

client = discord.Client
``` ?

[slate swan]

[unkempt canyon]

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

hey elias!

[shrewd apex]

[primal token]

i deleted it a while ago, i think its src is on my computer tho

[vocal snow]

ohh are you on github

[woeful tendon]

Hmm

[primal token]

[dull terrace]

in the init?

[vocal snow]

just wanna see yout porjects !

[shrewd apex]

nope an all dunder to define what all is gonna be imported u are doing a wild card import

[primal token]

[grim oar]

Yeah same 😫

[silk fulcrum]

@shrewd apex is this gud?

[vocal snow]

yeah i thought at first but oimii wasnt as smart as u r

idk, sometimes you give okimii vibes

[primal token]

how do i give okimii vibes? hes charming while im dead inside and correct everyone?

[woeful tendon]

bro i keep getting errors time by time

[silk fulcrum]

[slate swan]

i deleted all my repos

[primal token]

eitherway github has a search feature so use it

[woeful tendon]

its like errors keep coming and coming: SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier

[grim oar]

Funi forg lol

[slate swan]

it was my xbox pfp for a while

someone unstarred my fucking project

[fickle hamlet]

Maybe it's his significant other? Okimii had a zero two pfp while noid has a Hiro one? Maybe they were together.

[slate swan]

WHO DOES THAT

[grim oar]

that's saf

[grim oar]

It's annoying af

[primal token]

interesting you remember that but how are we together if were both straight males? i think you ment friendship?

[grim oar]

Tho I have never experienced it, I make my friends star them

[shrewd apex]

huh i still see okimii tho?

[slate swan]

i have no friends

[shrewd apex]

@slate swan

[grim oar]

I am your friend

[slate swan]

Only one of them has GitHub and I think they are dead

[vocal snow]

yeah okimii acc still in server but the human is afk

[shrewd apex]

thats 16/4/2022 💀

ic

[grim oar]

Lets be friens harvs.

[sick birch]

Folks I think we should get back on topic

[primal token]

.topic

[lament depot]

**What commands/features are you proud of making?**

Suggest more topics here!

[slate swan]

Ok nova.

[slate swan]

I made a good porn bot

[primal token]

bro

[slate swan]

It says like 5 directory’s down though

[lone lichen]

Whats special about it

[primal token]

can we not talk about NSFW?

[slate swan]

It’s really good

[grim oar]

It automatically finds out all your kinks and recommend daily

[lone lichen]

Ohh sick

[primal token]

robin you made the topic worst

[slate swan]

True

[lone lichen]

Ill upvote it

[sick birch]

that was your fault

[silk fulcrum]

noid gets annoyed about a topic for 10 minutes straight

[fickle hamlet]

Okimii behavior

[primal token]

.

[lone lichen]

@slate swan how much material does ur porn bot have 😂

[primal token]

You guys are extremely paranoid, its frightening at this point

[slate swan]

Over 500 thousand probably

Over 500 thousand images and videos

[lone lichen]

Is it because we are talking about a porn bot?

[vocal snow]

which one are uyou

[primal token]

ok

[lone lichen]

How many servers is ur porn bot in?

[slate swan]

No because people think noid is okkimi

[slate swan]

2 probably

[primal token]

its a void of noids so dont be so paranoid

[lone lichen]

Ohh, he isnt?

[slate swan]

He is but he’s in denial

[vocal snow]

you aren't sharing your github and I'm paranoid :(

[lone lichen]

Ohh poor guy

[grim oar]

It's a phase

[slate swan]

@slate swan hey what’s your GitHub

[primal token]

[slate swan]

He deleted his GitHub

@primal token your are okkimi

[whole sparrow]

how do I send multiple pics in discord bot

[slate swan]

Wdym

[lone lichen]

Dw it will grow

[slate swan]

It won’t

[lone lichen]

Y not

[slate swan]

It’s not a public bot

[lone lichen]

Make it

[whole sparrow]

you know how you can add multiple attachments if you were to send images as a user

how can I do that with a discord bot

[slate swan]

By sending multiple files ig

[shrewd apex]

files= kwarg in CTX.send

[whole sparrow]

Do i have to have multiple ctx.send(file=file) lines?

[shrewd apex]

a lost of files

[whole sparrow]

ah ok fair enough

[sick birch]

Pass in a list of files

[shrewd apex]

list of discord.File objects

[whole sparrow]

oo you can?

Thanks

Thats all I wanted to know

[slate swan]

Chat just died

2 minutes, no off topic conversation in #discord-bots

[silk fulcrum]

And never came back

[sick birch]

Better dead than OT

[tight obsidian]

there's no need to constantly have a conversation in every channel

[silk fulcrum]

better ot than dead*

[shrewd apex]

Robin don't give negative vibes 🥲

[slate swan]

I’m lonely though

[sick birch]

thanks

that’s the goal

[silk fulcrum]

yes, only give okimii or positive vibes

[shrewd apex]

💀

[tight obsidian]

Well this is not Tinder, this is #discord-bots. If you don't want to discuss Discord bots, we have other topical channels, as well as off-topic channels

[slate swan]

I am not looking for a lover.

[vocal snow]

:(

[shrewd apex]

if i had reaction perms i would react with 🔥

[slate swan]

I made merely a joke

[silk fulcrum]

only for someone like okimii :(

[slate swan]

[grim oar]

Are you sure

[slate swan]

Yes

is there another way to edit the bot's description because when i try to get the number of guilds its in like this the client variable isnt defined yet

[slate swan]

I think the about me is on the developer Portal but idk

[silk fulcrum]

client = Bot 😭

[slate swan]

Devistating

[slate swan]

ye but i cant put the number there unless i do it manually

[shrewd apex]

u can use the activity

change presence for the bot every min or so in a task loop

[slate swan]

ah ok

[slate swan]

whats wrong

[slate swan]

!d discord.AppInfo.description

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AppInfo.description

The application description.

[slate swan]

Is this correct?

[silk fulcrum]

read, client = Bot

[whole sparrow]

I dont passing list of discord.File object works with file

[silk fulcrum]

client ewuals bot

[sick birch]

Apple = Orange(…)

[whole sparrow]

        photo_list = [disnake.File(i) for i in file_location_list]
        print(photo_list)
        await channel.send(caption, file= photo_list)

[silk fulcrum]

ewuals :kekw:

[whole sparrow]

This is what I did

[sick birch]

You pass it into files

[slate swan]

lmao just followed a tutorial

[whole sparrow]

ohhh

files

[slate swan]

can i change it to Client?

[sick birch]

Don’t

[shrewd apex]

i think bot.description is read only not sure

[sick birch]

They’re terrible

[whole sparrow]

@sick birch u beautiful specimen thanks

[silk fulcrum]

beautiful specimen

[shrewd apex]

i totally didn't say the same thing

[tight obsidian]

what about the vcokltfre tutorial?

[slate swan]

happy?

[silk fulcrum]

its not for dpy? iirc

[shrewd apex]

u have all() why u need .members = True

[primal token]

its for nextcord and disnake

[sick birch]

It’s better, but it’s viability depends on how up to date it is, I haven’t been staying on top of that so I can’t gauge it’s usefulness

[shrewd apex]

we need to spread it so more PPL know about it

[sick birch]

Very

[tight obsidian]

yeah the lack of an official tutorial is sad

[slate swan]

oh its because i had .default() on before

just forgot to change it

[shrewd apex]

well atleast it points in the right direction

thats very important

[primal token]

documentation

[sick birch]

the documentation is dog

[shrewd apex]

ok guys gn i am gonna hit the bed 💤

[silk fulcrum]

fish*

[silk fulcrum]

good night :)

[primal token]

im pretty sure they were going to rewrite the tutorials and starter or something like that

[sick birch]

they better

[slate swan]

Can I join

[primal token]

!?

[slate swan]

im pleased

[primal token]

?!?!?!?

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html# is pretty OK for the commands ext, nothing for app_commands yet afaik

[primal token]

isnt there a tutorial or a short discussion about them in the migration tab?

[slate swan]

Should I code or play r6

[silk fulcrum]

make an API wrapper

[primal token]

you probably use ash

me who uses cav:

[slate swan]

Nope I use frost like every fucking femboy on the planet

[primal token]

ew

[slate swan]

I use frost and blackbeard as my mains

[tight obsidian]

There are different kinds of documentation. The purpose of a reference (what discord.py has, mostly) is to provide an accurate and complete description of the library. The purpose of a tutorial is to teach someone completely unaware of the library how to use it to solve concrete problems.
I found this quite helpful: https://diataxis.fr/

so the commands thing linked above is somewhere between reference and a how-to guide

[slate swan]

I would say lots of stuff to you rn but I don’t wanna because your nice

[sick birch]

Similar to discordjs and discordjs.guide

[tight obsidian]

@slate swan Please move the off-topic conversation to one of the off-topic channels. We already told you that.

[slate swan]

Why are you saying that to me and not everyone else

[sick birch]

I think discordpy is in need of discordpy.guide

[primal token]

Yes, i understand the terms, but im pretty sure the documentation gives guides or tutorials and dpy doesnt really describe the library in its reference more like it maps it out

[slate swan]

I’m gonna get banned again ffs

[primal token]

It provides tutorials but i wouldnt say theyre good either

[sick birch]

And this “reference” is only good for those already familiar with the library

[tight obsidian]

Because everyone else is talking about discord bots, I suppose

[slate swan]

I am not talking to myself

[silk fulcrum]

make it :hehe:

[sick birch]

I think as a newbie jumping in, I’d be utterly lost just with the reference

[primal token]

You never actually read the quick start?!?

[tight obsidian]

the quick start is quite limited 🙂

[primal token]

kek me neither

[sick birch]

I honestly don’t remember how I learned

It’s been quite a while

[primal token]

and outdated for the most part

[slate swan]

I got banned because I spoke off topic in off topic

Mods need to make up their mind

[silk fulcrum]

no u

[slate swan]

Well at that moment I did make up my mind, to speak in off topic. And I’m making my mind up again, I would like to speak here.

[primal token]

!ot | todays your lucky day!

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channel: #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[slate swan]

I don’t like the OT community very much

[tight obsidian]

hello

[silk fulcrum]

does donker know

[slate swan]

They were mean to me

[silk fulcrum]

hello

[slate swan]

hello

[tight obsidian]

anyway... discord bots

[primal token]

someone is going to get muted for not listening to mods👀

[grim oar]

Konnichiwa fix-error san

[slate swan]

Fr!

[grim oar]

Hello hello

[silk fulcrum]

how to pass context into passing the command?

jkjk

[grim oar]

it automatically gets passed

Jkjk

[void flax]

what's up with pycord vs discordpy

[primal token]

pass_context you sure?

[silk fulcrum]

discord.py is better

[sick birch]

pycord is plain garbage

[grim oar]

yes I 100% am sure

[primal token]

how can you compare the 2 if pycord is based of dpy kek

[grim oar]

Because they are 2 different entities

[void flax]

because they are both libraries for writing discord bots

[silk fulcrum]

pass_context is set to (['hehe', 'hoho'], 45678, 3456789, {"yes": "no"}) by default, that's why I was wondering

[slate swan]

Damn opposition is so bad, they were just hanging out at an open door

Are sets new or smth cause I see more people using them

[vocal snow]

No

[sick birch]

No

[silk fulcrum]

i used dict btw

[sick birch]

They’re a fundamental data structure

[primal token]

which is a fork? only real difference is implementation after dpys death, the only thing you can compare is its types, but thats unequal, get the joke? unequal types.....

[grim oar]

No

[primal token]

bro

[silk fulcrum]

no

[vocal snow]

I didn't get the joke either

[grim oar]

Bro??? Okmi??

[primal token]

smh

[vocal snow]

This some okmi level hunor

do better

[primal token]

my humor is horrible how is it equal to him?!??

[torn sail]

isnt the documentation for min_values in select menus inaccurate because select menus can have a min_values of 0

min_values (int) – The minimum number of items that must be chosen for this select menu. Defaults to 1 and must be between 1 and 25.

[slate swan]

Why did you put the quote below your answer, it confusing me

[grim oar]

That's written in docs bro

[torn sail]

idk how to use shift .

[primal token]

imaging having 2 shifts and not knowing how to use neither one of them kek

[torn sail]

yep discord.py says min value can be lowest of 1 but discord docs say it can be of 0

[slate swan]

can someone tell me as to why the second status in the cycle doesnt work

[tight obsidian]

You create a new cycle on every call to status_change

it's analogous to:

def f():
    x = 0
    print(x)
    x += 1

[grim oar]

on_ready calls once only

[tight obsidian]

but status_change will be called repeatedly

[grim oar]

Ah yes am dum

[hollow osprey]

you could make the cycle an instance attribute

[slate swan]

ye it does change

[hollow osprey]

and use that

[slate swan]

its not that

i think its something to do with sef.bot.guilds

because it changes normally

[tight obsidian]

What do you mean by this? And how did you check?

[slate swan]

well when i run the bot

and use just two strings without an f string

[hollow osprey]

or just iterate over the cycle and asyncio.sleep between iterations. idk if that's preferable over tasks.loop

[silk fulcrum]

why would you need a cycle there?

[slate swan]

it works fine

but when i add that f string with the amount of servers it doesnt

[slate swan]

to change between statuses

[primal token]

!??

[silk fulcrum]

but you have only one?

[grim oar]

What

[silk fulcrum]

.guilds will change automatically

[slate swan]

can u not see

[silk fulcrum]

no need for cycle

[slate swan]

look closely theres a comma

[primal token]

on_ready never gets called once?

[slate swan]

it doesnt need to

on_ready is when the bot turns on

goes online*

[primal token]

no?

[grim oar]

The library calls it inside bruh..

[primal token]

!d discord.on_connect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_connect

discord.on_connect()```
Called when the client has successfully connected to Discord. This is not the same as the client being fully prepared, see [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready") for that.

The warnings on [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready") also apply.

[primal token]

this is the event that gets called when a connection has been established

[slate swan]

Should I have ice cream or biscuit (or cookie for the foul people)

[primal token]

eat a HTTP cookie

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_ready

discord.on_ready()```
Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful and the [`Client.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.guilds "discord.Client.guilds") and co. are filled up.

Warning

This function is not guaranteed to be the first event called. Likewise, this function is **not** guaranteed to only be called once. This library implements reconnection logic and thus will end up calling this event whenever a RESUME request fails.

[slate swan]

They are tiny

[primal token]

they're average

[slate swan]

There like 1kb

[grim oar]

Seasoned with fine grains of data theft

[primal token]

🤤

[slate swan]

I want real food 😭

So ice cream or cookie

[primal token]

what isnt real about an HTTP cookie?

[silk fulcrum]

ice cream

[slate swan]

Ok thank

[slate swan]

I’ll probably die if I attempt to eat it

[primal token]

why?

[slate swan]

Idk what I have to eat to have a HTTP cookie but I think it would have toxins

[primal token]

ok

[grim oar]

It would have data thiefs

Thieves

https://tenor.com/view/minor-spelling-mistake-gif-21179057

[slate swan]

I like eating men

[primal token]

⁉️

[slate swan]

Has there ever been a female hacker

Like now that I think about it

[primal token]

!??!?????

[slate swan]

There hasn’t been any major female hacker

[grim oar]

Andrew Tate of the pydis

[slate swan]

I’m not saying like oh women are bad they can’t hCk

[primal token]

watch him get banned

[slate swan]

I’m just saying that there is a lack of women hackers

We need more women hackers

[grim oar]

Off topic

[slate swan]

I actually think I get banned every week

[primal token]

[daring olive]

any users that post any further messages not about discord bots will be moderated

[silk fulcrum]

😳

[slate swan]

I do not want to know what being moderated is so ima stop

[daring olive]

with previous history taken into account

[slate swan]

like this?

[hollow osprey]

nope. the result of cycle should be assigned to an instance attribute

[silk fulcrum]

no, you're still defining it inside the function, still py def foo(): n = 0 do_something() n += 1

[hollow osprey]

like self.statuses = cycle(...)

in __init__

[slate swan]

oh

[hollow osprey]

then in status_change, use that

[slate swan]

When will bots be able to screen share

[silk fulcrum]

tomorrow ig

[slate swan]

Fr???

[silk fulcrum]

fnr

[slate swan]

I’m wanna make cloud gaming on discord

[primal token]

I doubt it would be done, allot of usage of bandwith and a waste or resources i would say

[slate swan]

[swift pumice]

is there a way to do this easier?

[slate swan]

Probably

[silk fulcrum]

arguments...

and lists to have some certain strings and data in them...

[swift pumice]

yes that really helps me thank you so much

[silk fulcrum]

no problem

[primal token]

You can always have md files and load them uppon the usage of a command with an argument specifying which one, an md file should be used as embeds use md formats

[swift pumice]

what means md

[silk fulcrum]

what? why md?

[primal token]

markdown

[primal token]

i literally explained it below

an md file should be used as embeds use md formats

e.g @unkempt canyon uses md files for tags

[silk fulcrum]

never heard of that

!embedsmd

[primal token]

README.md🙈

[silk fulcrum]

!mdembeds

[silk fulcrum]

never heard of using mds to make embeds

[hollow osprey]

!src tags

[unkempt canyon]

Command: tags

Show all known tags, a single tag, or run a subcommand.

Source Code

Go to GitHub

bot/exts/info/tags.py:241

[silk fulcrum]

I'm making a gist with md file bruh

[primal token]

you have probably used md formatting in embeds e.g hyper links

[silk fulcrum]

!tag dashmpip

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

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

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

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

[silk fulcrum]

actually?

[silk fulcrum]

yes, hyperlinks

https://github.com/python-discord/bot/tree/main/bot%2Fresources%2Ftags

[pliant gulch]

ooh a fun project would be to make a meta language to design discord embeds

Should be easy enough

Or application commands

[primal token]

theres already embed builders but most of them dont even work kek

[grim oar]

html extension for embeds

[pliant gulch]

I mean a meta programming language not a builder

[junior verge]

Shouldn't be too hard

[pliant gulch]

I've already done a simple programming lang

Shouldn't be to hard

[primal token]

dont they have the same purpose?

[pliant gulch]

A builder uses methods right?

[primal token]

and a meta language can use statements?

[pliant gulch]

A meta language would be like writing in english to describe it

[primal token]

[hollow osprey]

a DSL

[pliant gulch]

Yea

[hollow osprey]

Domain Specific Lang

never wrote one in Python though

[pliant gulch]

Hey Daxles,

Thanks so much for your verification and Presence intent requests! Everything is looking good so far. We had some additional questions to continue with the process:

1. Can you provide some screenshots of your bot in operation within a Discord server? We'd like to know more about what your bot actually does.

2. The command ".remove" seems to be a great way for users to get their data deleted at any time they choose but we have to make sure that the data is not stored forever. We recommend that the information is stored for 30 days or less. Can you configure this expiry cliff for your bot prior to verification? Perhaps it can be configured so the data is deleted automatically after 30 days of the user not enacting any commands or after the user leaves the server? This is required in case the users never enact the ".remove" command.

3. Finally, share code snippets from your most used commands.

We need the information above and that expiry cliff to be configured in order to continue with this process.

Thanks in advance!
Erick G

This good right?

hello

need help with this

@bot.command()
async def snipemsg(ctx, message):
    msg = str(message.author)+ ' deleted message in '+str(message.channel)+': '+str(message.content)
    await ctx.send(msg)```

but then i get this error

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: message is a required argument that is missing.```

anyone know why?, i get the error after typing in the command btw

[primal fox]

can you show the command you're typing?

[tawdry tendon]

.snipemsg

thats the one im using

[primal fox]

so what message is your code referring to?

[tawdry tendon]

wym

[primal fox]

you call message.author

[smoky cedar]

Where is the error getting raised?

[primal fox]

What message?

[tawdry tendon]

im confused

[smoky cedar]

I assume the one passed as a parameter

[tawdry tendon]

im a bit new to discord.py

[primal fox]

he didn't pass one as he showed

I'm trying to help him understand

[smoky cedar]

Ah. Did you follow .snipemsg with a message @tawdry tendon ?

[tawdry tendon]

no

[smoky cedar]

Exactly. Message is missing.

[tawdry tendon]

oh

but im only using message to use message.author and stuff

[primal fox]

your code looks for a message that you give it

Is my point

[tawdry tendon]

ok

[tawdry tendon]

but ^

[primal fox]

so you want the message associated with the command?

[smoky cedar]

You can use ctx

[tawdry tendon]

oh

so i can do ctx.author?

[primal fox]

try it

[smoky cedar]

To get details about the original message that initiated the command

[tawdry tendon]

ok

[primal fox]

I'm not clear what you're trying to do tbh

But ctx is probably correct

[smoky cedar]

I'm guessing they're just trying to play around with the library

Also, I suggest using slash commands, prefix commands are a bit outdated now

You'll need discord.py 2.0 and up though

[tawdry tendon]

oh...

whats the differenve

difference

and btw i got a new error

[mossy jacinth]

how can i find if the member is the bot owner?

[smoky cedar]

Typing slash brings up a menu of the bots in the server and the commands, they're actually meant to be sent as commands and offer a lot more, versus a prefix command is just a message that the bot parses and realizes is meant for them

[tawdry tendon]

oh

ok

[rancid raptor]

Well there you would have to ask the bot owner

[tawdry tendon]

I want to ask a question that no one wants to help me on

[smoky cedar]

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

Here are the docs for the context object, you can see the attributes. You want ctx.message to get the Message object. Then content is probably inside message

[tawdry tendon]

i want to do this:
so say i type in a commands like:
!setrolepurge "whateverrolehere"

and then take the users argument from the command which would be "whateverrolehere"

and use that so only the role specified can use the "purge" command

is that possible and how?

[smoky cedar]

You'd need a database, and you'd need the guild id in the database, and then in that command you'd have to set a value in the guilds table that probably indicates the role id of the role allowed to purge.

Whenever purge is called, you'd query the role from the db for that guild and check that the user has it.

However, this is a bit redundant today if you ask me. With slash commands, server owners can use Manage Integrations and limit the roles that can use each command themselves

[glad cradle]

if anyone knows

Hi, I'm trying to implement watchfiles in disnake, but there's a problem, bot.run('') starts a loop the problem is that watchfiles too uses a loop to listen and catch files events, should I run the loop of watchfiles in another thread with asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe?

[tawdry tendon]

can you go through the sql one with me

i learnt some sql already

[primal fox]

probably

[pliant gulch]

Is the watchfiles entry point a coroutine function?

You could just do loop.create_task(entry()

[smoky cedar]

You'd need a table - guild_id being the main key, purge_role_id, the id of the role that can use the purge command. For testing you can just use python's sqlite3 library since it's local. In setrolepurge, you'd check if the guild is already in the db, if so, you'd query to update the purge_role_id column for that guild. If not, you'll add the guild with the purge_role_id.

Then, when you call purge, you'll check the guilds table and get the purge_role_id for the table that matches guild_id. Then you'll check if the user that called the purge command has that role.

[tawdry tendon]

ok

[smoky cedar]

But like I said -> using slash commands is better since it lets server owners set command permissions themselves

[tawdry tendon]

thanks

[crystal glen]

Any Idea why my command is not working?

[tawdry tendon]

is it easier?

[smoky cedar]

Slash commands? It's pretty much about the same - might be a bit harder to learn since it's newer and the documentation is more scarce, but the code isn't really more complicated

[glad cradle]

but it's an event loop, will the other thread run forever?

[tawdry tendon]

oh then id rather use sql than learn about slash commands today

[silk fulcrum]

what is sql

[pliant gulch]

If the watchfiles run an event loop you could just let disnake use the event loop of watchfiles e.g ```py
disnake.Client(loop=asyncio.get_running_loop())

[tawdry tendon]

lise sqlite

[glad cradle]

oh

[smoky cedar]

godspeed

Remember that you'd probably need to limit the role that can set the purge role to admin @tawdry tendon

[tawdry tendon]

wdym

[smoky cedar]

What would be the point in letting someone set the role that can purge if anyone can change it

[tawdry tendon]

no not anyone

[smoky cedar]

You'd prolly want only an admin to be able to change / configure it right

[small crag]

i have a question

[tawdry tendon]

true

[silk fulcrum]

ask

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @small crag!

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

[tawdry tendon]

i will just do the@has_permission (administrator=True)

[silk fulcrum]

has_permissions*

[tawdry tendon]

because before i wanted them to pick what role can use it

[smoky cedar]

Yup

[tawdry tendon]

ye my bad

[primal fox]

yes as Andy said you should share the loop

[small crag]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/lonociwuju

its showing this as an error and i have 0 idea on how to fix it

[silk fulcrum]

repl.it?

[small crag]

yes

[silk fulcrum]

first of all - stop using repl.it
if you really want to stick with this shit - type kill 1 in shell

replit is sharing an IP for every bot

[mossy jacinth]

?

[silk fulcrum]

if one gets ratelimited everyone get ratelimited

[tawdry tendon]

only reason im using replit is for 24/7

[tawdry tendon]

@small crag dont do that

just if you didnt know

[primal token]

more like it shares ips through each user that is on the same container

[glad cradle]

but I don't use Client I use Bot, is it sufficient to pass loop as arg of Bot()?

[silk fulcrum]

well.. yeah

[primal token]

its a subclass so i wouldnt doubt its an argument

[silk fulcrum]

dont do what?

[primal token]

not documented tho

[silk fulcrum]

member.id can't be a string

you are checking if member.id == "..."

id is int

[tawdry tendon]

i only use replit fo r24/7

[silk fulcrum]

remove quotes

[primal token]

shouldnt be a string, because it can be str casted, the int class has the str dunder

[silk fulcrum]

say it 123456 thousand times

[tawdry tendon]

🤣

[rancid raptor]

i found out that my task was running correctly but threw an exception so my problem up there seems to be corrected now.

[silk fulcrum]

...

[glad cradle]

I've seen that the Bot class doesn't contain anything, it subclass things from BotBase, CommonBotBase and disnake.Client, the loop arg is set in CommonBotBase should I override smth?

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()```

[glad cradle]

he can't set loop with super

[primal token]

guess it doesn't exist anymore due to the usage of asyncio.run

[glad cradle]

😭

[primal token]

but since it uses get_event_loop cant you use the event loop watchfiles or whatever the lib is called?

[glad cradle]

Well I'll explain the problem

[pliant gulch]

I mean, realistically this does not matter at all

By default internally get_event_loop is called

So that means, as long as you HAVE running loop from watchfiles it'll automatically use it

Just make sure you run the watchfiles before starting the bot and it'll share the loop

[glad cradle]

that's the 2 last line of my main.py

async def main():
    async for changes in awatch('./'):
        print(changes) #just for test

asyncio.run(main())
bot.run(token)

if i do like this the Bot won't start coz it's blocked by the watchfiles event loop, vice versa bot.run is a blocking call so everything under it doesn't execute

[pliant gulch]

async def main() -> None:
    asyncio.create_task(bot.start(token))

    async for changes in awatch("./"):
        print(changes)

asyncio.run(main())
``` simple refactoring will fix it

[primal token]

using asyncio.create_task smart

[glad cradle]

I'll try this, thx

[pliant gulch]

Bot.run doesn't create a new loop though

[primal token]

didnt it always make an event loop? or am i confusing myself with something else

[pliant gulch]

Bot.run uses loop attr set during construction

If a loop kwarg is passed to the constructor it'll use that as the value for self.loop

And if there is NONE passed by default it gets the CURRENT running loop

So as long as you have a loop running before hand, it'll be shared with the class

[primal token]

yeah it was

self.loop = loop or asyncio.get_event_loop()

[pliant gulch]

Yep basically, but get_event_loop will CREATE new loop if none has been created beforehand

But in "our" case this is never the case

Including the fact that asyncio.run just creates one as well

[sick birch]

Starting the script or the bot?

[primal token]

how would it create an event loop? if the method can also return none iirc and the event loop is never always running as iirc it was deprecated in 3.9

[silk fulcrum]

new_event_loop?

[primal token]

the only way the loop were created is with the usage of Bot.run that iirc makes a loop if its None

[pliant gulch]

?

[sick birch]

bot should go online once you run the script

[pliant gulch]

asyncio.run(bot.start(...))
``` lets use this as an example, okay

asyncio.run -> creates a new event loop and runs the coroutine

In bot.start it'll have a running loop

[primal token]

i ment using Bot.run sorry

[pliant gulch]

Bot.run is the same thing

It uses bot.loop

[primal token]

but doesn't it use something like

loop = self.loop or asyncio.new_event_loop()

?

[pliant gulch]

No

[primal token]

kek

[pliant gulch]

self.loop: asyncio.AbstractEventLoop = asyncio.get_event_loop() if loop is None else loop

[sick birch]

Oh if it's a VPS issue then it's probably suited for #965291480992321536

[primal token]

yeah fuck, i was confusing my abstractions with dpys

[pliant gulch]

get_event_loop can CREATE new event loop when None is being ran

Discord.py does it a bit different in the fact that the client first starts off with a sentinel value

Other than that it just sets the loop when actually being ran

Sort of like a "lazy" method if you understand that terminology

So for discord.py it's basically the same thing, if you have a running loop before running the bot

It'll share the loop

[slate swan]

@sick birch Can I ask you a question ?

[silk fulcrum]

Questionable

[slate swan]

@silk fulcrum
Is it possible to make the command work when the button is pressed ?

[silk fulcrum]

what do you mean "work when the button is pressed"?

it doesn't work?

[slate swan]

for example. you press the button, the inscription "Write a text" appears. You write a text and this text is saved to the command where this button was

[silk fulcrum]

so what is the problem with that? callback of the button: add a text input, edit a message; text input callback: save the text

to give it from the View to the command code you can set view.value inside of the view to your text

and in command do await view.wait()

and then use view.value there

[small crag]

question:
i have a command, >echo that is supposed to repeat the text in an embed
the thing is, it simply doesn't work
no error shows in the output, literally nothing happens

intents = discord.Intents.default()

hi,
hosting my discord bot in vs code works
but on heroku it doesnt anymore, i also tried hosting it on my raspberry pi (i did the pip install discord, and added
"intents=discord.Intents.default()" inside of client = discord())
and it doesnt work either
any ideas?

[tawdry tendon]

BRO

IM AN IDIOT

[wicked atlas]

lol

[wicked atlas]

define "doesn't work", then we might have some

[faint sapphire]

so i dont get any errors

wether its on my rpi or heroku

[wicked atlas]

What errors?

[faint sapphire]

and the bot works when i run it with vs code

there arent any

[wicked atlas]

Then what isn't working?

[faint sapphire]

the bot doesnt go online

it only does when i run in vs code

same script

im prob missing something for it to work on heroku/raspberry pi

[wicked atlas]

Do all of your scripts have the same token in them, and are you sure that they are running successfully?

[faint sapphire]

i can show u the build log in heroku

[junior verge]

My bot got verified in less then 3h

[wicked atlas]

where is message defined? Maybe you meant to use ctx instead

[tawdry tendon]

oh ye

something else LOL

@bot.command()
@has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def purge(ctx, amount=1):
    if ctx.author.guild_permissions.manage_messages:
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount + 1)
        await ctx.send(f"{amount} messages have been purged!")
    else:

        await ctx.send("Nice try, you need manage messages permissions to do this")```

i have this i did if they have the permission they can use it else they cant

is this how its formatted?

[tawdry tendon]

congrats

[junior verge]

Thanks

[tawdry tendon]

can i check it out

[tawdry tendon]

can you help?

@wicked atlas can you herlp?

it works

but it doesnt say the last line

[junior verge]

Whats the issue

[wicked atlas]

Well, the runner will never not have manage message permissions because of that @has_permissions decorator blocking them from running it

[tawdry tendon]

i have this code

oh

so if i remove has_permissions it will work>

because i have if ctx.author.guild_permissions.manage_messages:

[wicked atlas]

Yes, that would work

[tawdry tendon]

ok

thanks again

[tawdry tendon]

I am SO SO SO SO SO sorry

but i need help.... again

why is this?

bro @wicked atlas that is.... cool https://youtu.be/TnIHfMHRBnw

Maybe @bot.group()?

I don’t use groups much

[tawdry tendon]

ah

oh no

its commands.group

Sorry wrong error

[hasty jay]

Hi, how do you run 2 bot token with the same cog?
Im trying to clone my bot with another bot

[tawdry tendon]

It’s supposed to say .welcome

[wicked atlas]

check again

[tawdry tendon]

😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[hasty jay]

Hi what?

[tawdry tendon]

Nothing nothing

[wicked atlas]

They thought this was a help channel

[wicked atlas]

Anyway, is this your whole bot code? where do you load the extension

[faint sapphire]

hi
ive got a bot that goes online when i host it on a raspberry pi
but it doesnt respond
it works when i run it in vs code tho
the bot doesnt use commands but reads messages' content

i had gotten an intents error and changed it to this to avoid it
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())

if anyone got experience doing this with the RPi, holla at me

[drifting arrow]

How do I send traceback to a channel?

[sick birch]

The traceback library should have a way to get tracebacks as strings

[drifting arrow]

I figured out a basic way I guess

[zealous jay]

Uuh, how do I make an error handler in d.py 2.0?

[zealous jay]

btw I figured it out, for discord.py 2.0 it works diffferent

[torn sail]

Oh ok

[zealous jay]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/439702951246692352/1012895715808247829/unknown.png

its for a specific command tho

[torn sail]

I see

[zealous jay]

but you can add several decorators

@command_1.error
@command2_.error

[torn sail]

Do you need the cog listener decorator?

[zealous jay]

uuh

to be honest I forgot to delete it, probably not

let me test

[torn sail]

Yeah you don’t need it probably

Also make sure to raise the exception if it’s not handled if not doing so already

[zealous jay]

nope, you don't need it (the listener decorator)

[zealous jay]

sure

[torn sail]

else:
    raise error

[slate swan]

🦫

[slate swan]

does this even work? app commands don't have an error method

[zealous jay]

yes

it did

[slate swan]

hm

!d discord.app_commands.Command.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.Command.error

@error(coro)```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

The local error handler is called whenever an exception is raised in the body of the command or during handling of the command. The error handler must take 2 parameters, the interaction and the error.

The error passed will be derived from [`AppCommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AppCommandError "discord.app_commands.AppCommandError").

[slate swan]

?

Just get to work

?

Don't talk to me lil bro

[crimson plover]

may i ask a coding question here?

[slate swan]

You can

No

[crimson plover]

@commands.command()
@has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def announce(self, ctx, announcetext: str = None):
"""Sends an announcement to the Server"""
if announcetext is None:
await ctx.reply("You need to write something idiot..")
return
with Client(self.rconHost, self.rconPort, passwd=self.rconPassword, timeout=5.0) as client:
result = client.run(f"servermsg {announcetext}")
await ctx.send(result)

This code works... so if i use ~announce <message> it will i.e. "~announce this is the message" it will only print "this" the first word.... how do i get it to do the whole message?

[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]

Print the whole message or send the whole message?

[crimson plover]

send the whole message

so like "This is the message" it will only send "This" instead of "This is the message"

[slate swan]

(self, ctx, *, announcetext: str = None):

[slate swan]

.

[crimson plover]

hm. didnt seem to work.

[slate swan]

Sounds like a skill issue

[slate swan]

What code did you try

[crimson plover]

thats my code

But as i said if i type a messgae it will only show the first word of the sentence

[slate swan]

Looks like a skill issue

[zealous jay]

how funny rat

[slate swan]

everyone is cackling

[zealous jay]

yes

[slate swan]

Not funny just solving the problem

[slate swan]

why do you set the annoucetext to none?

Just make an error handler instead

[crimson plover]

cause i have skill issues

Never said i was good at this. sorry about wasting your time.. I know im stupid. Was just trying to figure out if it was something i just was not seeing

[slate swan]

@sick birch sorry for pinging but you probably know

[zealous jay]

No one said you are stupid, its okay to ask

[slate swan]

If all your trying to do is copy a message that you are sending with the bot command you can use “async def announcement(ctx,*,args):
await ctx.send(args)” to make bot send the message that you typed out in the same channel but you have to change the channel

[torn sail]

Huh usually the * would make it do what u wanted it to do

[slate swan]

that's what I told him to do

[torn sail]

That’s would he said

Yeah that’s interesting

[slate swan]

I'm guessing the logic is wrong

[crimson plover]

i mean any suggestions on what i should do with my code are welcome.. as i said it works... But still wont do the whole message i can do ~announce this is the message even with that code but it will only send the first word... first word being "this"

[slate swan]

Try “@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith("!Announcement"):
await message.channel.send(message.content)”

[slate swan]

it's 'message' iirc

@crimson plover just remove that None

and add error handler for missing arguments

[zealous jay]

btw slash commands make input easier

or at least for the user that uses the command

[crimson plover]

Thank you guys, Got it working

[slate swan]

How?

[torn sail]

Was it the = None?

[slate swan]

it probably was

I think he would've had to move that argument in order for it to work like that

    def check(reaction, user):
        return user == ctx.message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '✅'
    await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
    embed = Embed(color=discord.Color.dark_green(), title="Challenged", description=f"Game has been accepted by {user.mention}")
    embed.add_field(name="?", value="?", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="?", value="?", inline=True)
    confirmationMessage = await ctx.message.channel.send(embed=embed)
    await confirmationMessage.edit(embed=embed)
    await confirmationMessage.clear_reactions()```

In the Embed description, am I able to mention `only the user who has reacted` in the edited embed upon reaction? little stuck on how to implement this I can’t find the docs to learn about mentioning on reaction

[torn sail]

Huh I don’t think it’s supposed be like that

A default shouldn’t affect the consuming

[slate swan]

🤷

[crimson plover]

yes it was the none

thats the code that works now

[torn sail]

You can do reaction, user = await bot.wait_for(…) then user.mention

Not sure if this is what u want tho

[slate swan]

your current code checks if the command author is adding a ✅ reaction, if thats what you want. yes.

but as master said, you need to use the event too

[crimson plover]

ok...so the code works... and i know im asking a lot here... it doesnt bug me that much since it works but how would i go about handling this error... if anyone could link me to some error handling docs... or examples maybe..

obviously i commented out the code that doesnt work

[drifting arrow]

Is it possible to do the on_ready inside of a cog?

I want to load my bot and have loops automatically run once the bot starts.

[ornate sail]

is there any guide on how to start learning to make these bots

[torn sail]

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener

classmethod listener(name=...)```
A decorator that marks a function as a listener.

This is the cog equivalent of [`Bot.listen()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen "discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen").

[ornate sail]

im using nextcord rn and don't know if its good or not but

[drifting arrow]

So.. I do coglistener with on_ready?

[torn sail]

yeah just use @commands.Cog.listener() just like @bot.event

although if u are talking about tasks.loop then i would start them in the __init__ and wait_until_ready in the before loop

[drifting arrow]

Oh

[torn sail]

you should checkout the getting start part of the docs then i would recommend reading the ext.commands guide

but note that because nextcord is a fork less people would be able to help you with it

[drifting arrow]

@torn sail So this should work?

    @tasks.loop(seconds=300)
    async def statusupdater(self):
        await self.client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f"{self.totalbans} bans"))
    
    @statusupdater.before_loop
    async def statusupdater_wait_for_ready(self):
        await self.client.wait_until_ready()```?

[torn sail]

yeah it should work

[limber bison]

I want to create vc here ! How can I create?

At the mid ?

Or at a possition

[torn sail]

!d discord.Guild.create_voice_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_voice\_channel

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

This is similar to [`create_text_channel()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.create_text_channel "discord.Guild.create_text_channel") except makes a [`VoiceChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceChannel "discord.VoiceChannel") instead.

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

[torn sail]

the positiion kwarg

[crimson plover]

anyone have any suggestions for me

[worthy mortar]

for?

sorry, just getting here 🫥

[crimson plover]

Anyone who could help me handle this error? (The code works Im just not sure how to handle the error message if someone doesnt type a message in) So this error occurs if i do !announce with no message but !announce this is my message.. works completely fine no errors just was curious how to handle it

code works fine though.. i can live with the error since id never do it personally as it is for personal use just more curious how i would go about solving that

And yes. I am a noob

[silk fulcrum]

sorry, I fell asleep in the middle of reading messages...

[drifting arrow]

Does python have a webhooks package? 🤔

[silk fulcrum]

Yo can either make announcetext optional by doing announcetext: str = None, or make an error handler (on_command_error event)

[torn sail]

Discord webhooks?

[torn sail]

Nah the first way was made the * stop working

[drifting arrow]

Well I want to connect to a websites webhook or whatever it is and send it to a discord channel xD

[silk fulcrum]

oh

[crimson plover]

yeah = None does not work

had to remove it.. once i did it worked properly with the *,

can someone show me an example of an errorhandler or link me?

[torn sail]

There are plenty of modules in pypi probably

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.ext.commands.on_command_error

[drifting arrow]

Doing some googling.. is grabbing a webhook basically just doing an aiohttp request?

[crimson plover]

As i said this is for personal use the code works properly and im probably the only one to use it... but i am dumb and new to this...

[torn sail]

Wdym by grabbing a webhook

[crimson plover]

some things ive figured out alright some things i havent figured out yet

[drifting arrow]

idk how webhooks work or what they really are

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.on\_command\_error

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

The default command error handler provided by the bot.

By default this logs to the library logger, however it could be overridden to have a different implementation.

This only fires if you do not specify any listeners for command error.

Changed in version 2.0: `context` and `exception` parameters are now positional-only. Instead of writing to `sys.stderr` this now uses the library logger.

[silk fulcrum]

there

[torn sail]

You can use builtin discord webhooks

[silk fulcrum]

oh there is no example for it

[torn sail]

Well use on_command_error in a listener

[drifting arrow]

Can I then use a discordbot to pull that data? 🤔

[mossy jacinth]

Can someone tell me why there is two "!!" In yhe status even tho it shouldnt be there?

[torn sail]

Uh well I am not sure what u mean at all

[drifting arrow]

https://learn.battlemetrics.com/article/47-webhooks

I want to create a webhook or whatever this shit is, and send it to my discord server and display it in a nice format.

[crimson plover]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
await ctx.send("Invalid command. Try using help to figure out commands!")
if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
await ctx.send('Please pass in all requirements.')
if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
await ctx.send("**You dont have all the requirements or permissions for using this command **")

so would this work?

[drifting arrow]

i legit dont understand anything about this

so describing it. doing it. touching it. it's like all brand new to me

it might as well as be a foreign language to me

[torn sail]

Well if the website formats it for discord then use builtin webhooks. Otherwise u have to run ur own web server and send it with ur bot

[silk fulcrum]

should work

[scarlet sorrel]

How to i end the entire process the bot is running on when a condition is met?

[drifting arrow]

But.. Can I then use a discordbot to grab the data that is sent to my discordserver?

[silk fulcrum]

stop the bot?

[scarlet sorrel]

Yeah like fully

[silk fulcrum]

if condition: then await bot.close()

[torn sail]

Well if u use builtin webhooks u can access it like a normal message. With web server u will already have the data

[scarlet sorrel]

Thanks

[crimson plover]

im so dumb

[scarlet sorrel]

If i just sent someone a dm with a bot how do i get the channel id of the dm before they send anything?

Basically how do i get the message object of the message i just sent?

Can i do var = await user.send(message) then var.channel.id

[silk fulcrum]

yes!

[scarlet sorrel]

Epic, thanks

[drifting arrow]

when I try and read a webhook. Im only getting a webhook id. 🤔

[azure scroll]

Is there something wrong with this? Because, this is the only command which does not respond.

@commands.command(aliases=['del', 'dn', 'delnote', 'delete', 'deletenote'], help = "Deletes a note you have written")
    async def delnotes(self, ctx, *, yourNote):
        check = await db.NoteBoyNotes.find_one({'_id':ctx.author.id}) 
        if (check is None):
            await ctx.send("User not found: Make a note to fix this")
        else:
            await notesCol.update_many({"_id" : ctx.author.id}, {"$pull" : {"notes" : yourNote}})
            await ctx.send("Ok, Deleted")```

[random portal]

any errors?

[drifting arrow]

AAHH webhooks are annoying

[maiden fable]

Lol

[drifting arrow]

Alright. So, I manage to get a webhook id. and webhook object.
But I cant get the contents of it? the webhook i am using has a shared secret. How do I parse that through to pull the content?

[maiden fable]

content?

[drifting arrow]

Whatever is being sent to my discord server..

the json file.. the text. whatever they're sending
