[cerulean shale]

Thx for asking btw

[gentle eagle]

thats good to hear

[gentle eagle]

youre welcome ;))

[primal token]

val never asks me how i am😔

[cerulean shale]

🫡

Sed lyf

[gentle eagle]

😟

[cerulean shale]

Is my pfp visible btw?

[gentle eagle]

yes its a little qt

[primal token]

cat

[cerulean shale]

It ain't visible on my screen 💀

That's why I asked

[gentle eagle]

sad :((

[atomic glacier]

Hi, I am having an issue where when i get message.content it is " ". This is not a self bot. Please help.

[wicked atlas]

Kinda odd that you say it's not a self bot. It's usually not a self bot when people ask those kinds of questions, so you saying that makes me think it's a self bot.

[strong remnant]

or hes stating that just to state it.

[gentle eagle]

thats a bit odd, why would he state hes not using a self bot because of a message's content being empty thats probably the furthest thing someone would think about when trouble shooting an issue like that, either way how can a message content have just a space when a user cant send a space char only?

[atomic glacier]

because every fucking time i look it up they said its cause its a self bot

i figured it out tho

its cause its a setting in the fucking dev portal

[wicked atlas]

message content intent moment

[gentle eagle]

i thought discord didnt dispatch message events if you didnt have the intent? i guess it does with missing fields

-_-

[wicked atlas]

well, it's message content intent

you still get the event, just not the content of it

[atomic glacier]

ill show you the bot

[gentle eagle]

yeah youre right kek

[atomic glacier]

look

not a selfbot

[gentle eagle]

walter white?😍

[atomic glacier]

yes

[gentle eagle]

sexy

[atomic glacier]

yes ik, but still breaks commands

but uh if u look it up everyone says its cause its a selfbot

[wicked atlas]

yeah a few days ago they started enforcing it on verified bots

[atomic glacier]

thats why I said it in the post

[wicked atlas]

so like all verified bots are stuck using slash commands now

[primal token]

val moment

[gentle eagle]

shhhhhhh 😡

[hushed galleon]

before the release of the message content intent, discord had made changes to the gateway that made selfbots always receive empty content/embeds, but now its no longer the only reason for its occurrence

[normal lava]

Can anyone teach me how to make discord bots

[slate swan]

So many tutorials out there.

[normal lava]

Ohk

[primal token]

And many are outdated if youre going to redirect him to tutorials give him a good one to accompany your claim

[slate swan]

First off, there is the discord.py Documentation

Second of all, I will.

[primal token]

https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev

[primal token]

Thats a reference and has outdated examples?

[slate swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8wxin72h50

[primal token]

Terrible code being shown and isnt up to date

[slate swan]

IT WAS 3 MONTHS AGO

I think

[primal token]

and the new release was like a month ago?

[slate swan]

it was?

Wait what was the new release

[primal token]

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.0.1

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[primal token]

2.0 on pypi

[slate swan]

Quick question

import discord

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)

    async def on_message(self, message):
        # don't respond to ourselves
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.content == 'ping':
            await message.channel.send('pong')

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = MyClient(intents=intents)
client.run('token')

What is the difference between these two?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', intents=intents)

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('pong')

bot.run('token')

[primal token]

What type of question is that and what point are you trying to prove?

[slate swan]

No point

I am actually curious. I do not know myself

I see many examples of these, mainly the discord.ext

[primal token]

Well i think the code explains it itself and nothing needs to be discussed as you can read/see its differences and similarities

[slate swan]

What is .ext

are those slash commands?

[primal token]

Its an extension for tasks and commands like prefixed commands and slash commands

[slate swan]

Okay so one is for text commands

the other is for slash? alright.

[primal token]

?

[slate swan]

I'm not trying to argue, I genuinely do not know

[primal token]

Im not really arguing but how did you conclude with that belief?

[slate swan]

Oh wait I misread it.

But what is different between @bot.command and @bot.event

wait bot.command is for slash @bot.event is for actual discord.py events

nvm im dumb

[primal token]

@Bot.command is for the command abstraction used with dpy for prefix commands while @Bot.event is for gateway events mainly but can register namespaces/abstractions of the library like setup_hook due to its way of registering events to itself

[slate swan]

Okay, thank you.

[primal token]

If you need more info the tutorial i gave should explain it fairly well or the documentation can as well

[gentle eagle]

How could they differentiate a self bot and a bot?

[hushed galleon]

by asking that question, cause regular bots written with dpy 1.7 didnt have that issue (except occasionally when receiving embed or attachment-only messages, which legitimately have empty content)

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how we can send a message to channel using discord api in python?

[gentle eagle]

no no

discord had made changes to the gateway that made selfbots always receive empty content/embeds
changes to the gateway how and how could they differentiate a self bot to a bot

[hushed galleon]

oh by the token used to login

user tokens are prefixed with Bearer while bot tokens are prefixed with Bot

reference: https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#authentication
(well i guess this doesnt describe its usage for user accounts which makes sense)

[gentle eagle]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message

[gentle eagle]

but doesnt self bots just pass there token with the prefix Bearer or would the gateway disconnect that user with a 403 HTTP code?

sorry i dont really know how self bots bypass the gateway and API as ive never done it or researched about it

[hushed galleon]

is there any more context to this? theres not a lot to suggest from that besides verifying your database credentials
(also not discord bots related)

[hushed galleon]

oh wait, i think im completely wrong about bearer being prefixed looking at how it was implemented in 1.7

[gentle eagle]

isnt bearer used for for the gateway IDENTIFY payload and other things while bot is used for the api im not sure ive never dealt with it

[hushed galleon]

bearer tokens let you do stuff on behalf of a user, like getting the guilds they're in

you can get a general idea of it from the scopes listed in the oauth2 page on the dev portal

[gentle eagle]

im not very advanced with discords auth system etc, as you can see🥲

[hushed galleon]

i dont really understand the oauth2 stuff since ive just dealt with bot stuff for discord applications

[gentle eagle]

same :^))

[mild token]

We are using discord.py or some other lib here?

[sick birch]

Any

[mild token]

Oh last time i remember this channel was called discord.py

And we have that docs command linked to that

[sick birch]

I do, I've implemented "log in with discord" enough times to know it inside and out haha... if you've got any questions i'd be willing to help

[sick birch]

You might be thinking about discord.gg/dpy

[mild token]

I am there already ,just asking here

[gentle eagle]

oh its nothing, its mainly just how discord deals with oauth2 which i dont really care about as im not going to make a wrapper or use the knowledge so it would be a waste of your time :33

[sick birch]

Hm.. not sure how well an oauth2 wrapper would work. I think there are a few but none of them seem very well implemented or designed. Not really their fault, it's just the way the oauth2 system is designed makes it difficult to, of course, design a wrapper for it

[gentle eagle]

no no, like a whole wrapper that wraps the API and gateway for bots, which when making one you should have a bit of knowledge with oauth2 right?

ive done one but ive never really focused on auth

[sick birch]

Ah, a wrapper for the whole thing. Probably not a lot, I can't think of much Oauth2 and discord bots intersecting

[gentle eagle]

doesnt discord bots use Oauth2? sorry im not really knowledgeable with the system at all

[mild token]

Oauth2 is for user account info ,mainly used for login purpose

[sick birch]

Not necessarily, you make a bot, get a token, and use that for all of your needs. From a holistic point of view, it's pretty simple

[mild token]

I have used oauth2 in nextjs once, they implemented very clean way

[sick birch]

As mentioned, though, once you start dealing with user accounts, and having to do something on behalf of the user, things start getting more serious, and as expected, complexity scales appropriately

[gentle eagle]

ive never implemented it but i probably will if i ever finish my chat app which i was working on and after a week i stopped lol

[sick birch]

Ah yeah. I tried implementing it myself, felt it was a pain to work with. What with setting the cookies and managing auth states manually. Found out Next-auth-js, was incredibly easy to work with

[gentle eagle]

ill probably make a chat app with sockets in another lang over python

[mild token]

Same

Literally fallen in love with it lol

[mild token]

If u thinking of js and want to implement auth just go with next-auth it's very easy and very clean

[sick birch]

Yep. It's just incredibly convenient to work with

[gentle eagle]

hell no

[mild token]

😅

[gentle eagle]

im wasnt thinking of js at all😭

[mild token]

Oops 😬

[gentle eagle]

i was thinking using something like rust or cpp

[sick birch]

For a backend?

[gentle eagle]

yes

[sick birch]

Sure. But depending on the scale of your chat app, Python will more than likely do the job

[gentle eagle]

for front-end, my terminal is good enough ;^))

[gentle eagle]

im mostly doing it as its a simple project and its good to develop your skill in a newer language

anyways night night guys :33

[silk fulcrum]

nop

[slate swan]

yes

[silk fulcrum]

I think it's possible if user has bot as an Authorised App, but not sure'

[silk fulcrum]

burh:(

[slate swan]

💀 I saw your pfp from a good distance and couldn't see the cat's eyes either, that actually looked so inappropriate lmao

dw you're not the only one

async def suggest(ctx, *, suggestion):
  await ctx.channel.purge(Limit=1)
  channel = nextcord.utils.get(ctx.guild.text_channels, name="║💡║suggestions")
  suggest = nextcord.Embed(title="New Suggestion!", description=f"{ctx.author.name} has suggested **{suggestion}**.")

  await sugg.add_reaction("✔️")
  await sugg.add_reaction("❌")```

guys why doesn't it work? it keeps saying nextcord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "suggest" is not found

[hollow agate]

Did you use @bot.command()?

[slate swan]

yeah?

[hollow agate]

Are you certain you saved the file?

[slate swan]

yeah

[hollow agate]

Could you send me all of your code (without any important stuff, like token) in

!paste

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[slate swan]

alr

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/xenogogupe @hollow agate

[hollow agate]

It still doesn't seem like its @bot.command()

@bot.command()
async def suggest(ctx, *, suggestion):
  await ctx.channel.purge(Limit=1)
  channel = nextcord.utils.get(ctx.guild.text_channels, name="║💡║suggestions")
  suggest = nextcord.Embed(title="New Suggestion!", description=f"{ctx.author.name} has suggested **{suggestion}**.")
  sugg = await channel.send(embed=suggest)
  await sugg.add_reaction("✔️")
  await sugg.add_reaction("❌")```

should be it

[slate swan]

alr I changed to that

[hollow agate]

Save the file and restart the bot and see if it works

[slate swan]

lets see if it works

error

[hollow agate]

What's the error?

[slate swan]

[hollow agate]

Are you trying to delete just the command message?

[slate swan]

yes

so that it just sent suggestion

[hollow agate]

Use ctx.message.delete()

Don't use purge

It should be await ctx.message.delete() in full instead of await ctx.channel.purge()

[slate swan]

alr

I was kinda watching tuto from youtube

[hollow agate]

If you ever want to use purge, it's limit, not Limit.

[slate swan]

lets see now

[silk fulcrum]

don't watch them

[hollow agate]

Learn python from not guides xd

[silk fulcrum]

they're all outdated or bad

[hollow agate]

Also, discord.py isn't very friendly for beginners, but I did learn from discord.py so I can't talk 😂

[slate swan]

WORKS

[hollow agate]

:)

[slate swan]

THANK YOU ALL!

[silk fulcrum]

same

[slate swan]

but it didn't delete my message

[hollow agate]

Send the code & error

[slate swan]

no error

[hollow agate]

Code?

[slate swan]

async def suggest(ctx, *, suggestion):
  await ctx.message.delete()

  sugg = await channel.send(embed=suggest)
  await sugg.add_reaction("✔️")
  await sugg.add_reaction("❌")```

[hollow agate]

You saved the file and restart the bot, yes?

[silk fulcrum]

what intents do you have enabled?

[hollow agate]

Ah, none that's why

[slate swan]

yeah

[silk fulcrum]

it's a fork of dpy

[hollow agate]

@slate swan go to your Discord Developer Portal and enable everything you see named intents and put intents = discord.Intents.all() somewhere in your code

[silk fulcrum]

nextcord*

[hollow agate]

Oh, you do have it in there, just enable everything you see in Discord Developer Portal with intents

[slate swan]

I have done that alreayd

[silk fulcrum]

well enabling all intents is not good, but they're just at the beginning so i guess nothing to care about

[hollow agate]

It's the easiest way for beginners, doesn't really harm anything

[hollow agate]

Put intents.message_content = True below intents = discord

Maybe that'll work

[silk fulcrum]

wtf is intents = discord

where will he find that

[slate swan]

ugh its fine if msg.delete doesn't work

[hollow agate]

intents = discord.Intents.all()

He already has it

[slate swan]

just how do I make this command only useable on one channel?

[hollow agate]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/xenogogupe.py

[silk fulcrum]

by the way @slate swan does your bot have manage_messages permission?

[hollow agate]

Get the channel ID and use if ctx.channel.id == 9999999999999999:

[silk fulcrum]

wait whose code is that

[hollow agate]

Pro Doggy's.

[hollow agate]

:P

[silk fulcrum]

why the heck do you have both dpy and nextcord??? @slate swan

that breaks all the logics

[hollow agate]

xd

Just use discord.py

It's much easier and more supported

[silk fulcrum]

[slate swan]

OHH

THIS WAS THE PROBLEM BOTS PERMS WERE KINDA EDITED AND I FORGOT TO ADD THAT

[silk fulcrum]

no need to use so many capital letters

first of all consider using only one API wrapper, discord.py or nextcord

I'd recommend discord.py

but preference

[slate swan]

forgot to turn off

[slate swan]

that code makes me wanna die in my sleep 😭

[hollow agate]

It's tutorial code that Pro Doggy has

[slate swan]

is that how py-cord has implemented their buttons

idts

that's a third party lib and not py-cord

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py
this is how they're implemented

[hollow agate]

Can you rephrase that?

It doesn't make a ton of sense 😅

[slate swan]

just do message.channel.send instead of message.send

and yes I agree with Someone

[hollow agate]

OH, I see what he meant, I'm just stupid, okay.

[slate swan]

no...it took me half a minute to understand and I was wrong

smh, do message.channel.send and not message.send

thanks for cooperating

and I don't use pycord

[silk fulcrum]

*hybrid_command

[ionic edge]

😭😭

[silk fulcrum]

seems like it is discord_slash

not pycord

uhm

did you even think about the question you asked? how it sounds?

like I mean

You are using discord-slash

then you are like "oh yes?? Im using it?"

and then How to use pycord then?

like wtf

i dont even know how to explain that

like just use pycord instead of discord-slash maybe?

what is that

well if you want you can use discord.py's Views implementation and I recommend that, but discord.ui doesn't have all these methods like create_button and e.t.c

idk? walk in the park? go wash your face?

well this code is absolutely nuts

you should rewrite it

it's not even close to how you make buttons in dpy

yes you can

View()*

i think so

btw try it and see

ok

wait are u trying to use both pycord and discord.py?

hm pycord uses pretty much the same sys

it just takes *items in View()

no idea, there is while True which i dont understand for what is there btw

[silk fulcrum]

don't do content=, it's an arg.
use f-strings instead of format

[ionic edge]

messages are getting deleted but

no response

[silk fulcrum]

if it takes longer than 3 seconds to delete the messages then you cannot respond to an interaction, to fix that use await context.defer() before deleting the messages, so you will have not 3 seconds but 15 minutes to respond

any idea why this not working ping me please

idk

But rip 😦

[vale wing]

That code is pure hell

Have you ever heard of refactoring

[slate swan]

you did something like

await message1.edit(view=myview)
myview = ...

[vale wing]

You have like 8 lines repeating 30 times

[slate swan]

wtf

[vale wing]

Just look at that

[slate swan]

I did

[vale frigate]

no 😦 what is this

[vale frigate]

:0 what a dumb guy me

ah

[slate swan]

what do I say

[vale wing]

Refactoring itself is basically making code better, and there are many ways to achieve that

[vale frigate]

so myview up not down

[vale wing]

For example

[vale frigate]

how i still kinda new

[vale wing]

Not ctrl+c ctrl+v a thing you need to execute in multiple places but put it into function

[vale frigate]

hmmm i use visual stuida

[vale wing]

That's unrelated

[vale frigate]

ok

so what i do

ctrl+v

ah it copy and paste

[vale wing]

That is what you should do with your code, but as I am looking at it right now those lines can be just brought out of if blocks

[outer parcel]

how do i put this in my bot description

[vale wing]

I said don't copypaste

[outer parcel]

do i just have to type in manually

[vale frigate]

only for big bots

[vale wing]

Read my sentence again

aaah me dumb

understand

Ok

k ty

[vale frigate]

Function?

[slate swan]

**TRY MY COMMANDS**
`/slash` `anotherslash`

idk if that works

[vale frigate]

never do Function

[outer parcel]

ye but when i click on /activity it puts the text into my chat

so i can try it so e idk

[vale wing]

What

[vale frigate]

any thing can make me learn what is Function

[slate swan]

ohh ic

[vale frigate]

idk what is Function

[vale wing]

Take literally any python guide

[vale frigate]

ok

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**.

[vale frigate]

but really now i care about fix my problem than make my code clean

[vale wing]

The only thing I hate about go yet is its error handling

[outer parcel]

prob watch this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3TqSUSOprs&t=545s

[slate swan]

learn python

[vale frigate]

ah?

[vale wing]

This is more like forkcord

[outer parcel]

Or just read nextcord.py docs

[vale frigate]

i learning it but i just got error?

[outer parcel]

or ask stack overflow

[vale frigate]

buttoms and everything working

just this small error

[outer parcel]

that is ?

[vale frigate]

yes

[vale frigate]

i did like this

so he not understand

[outer parcel]

what is your small error

[vale frigate]

so let me

[vale frigate]

click

[outer parcel]

how does buttons work

if that error appears

it means it cant run myview() because it is referenced before assignment

[vale frigate]

ok i put py buttom1.callback = buttom1_callback buttom2.callback = buttom2_callback buttom3.callback = buttom3_callback buttom4.callback = buttom4_callback buttom5.callback = buttom5_callback myview = View(timeout=180) myview.add_item(buttom1) myview.add_item(buttom2) myview.add_item(buttom3) myview.add_item(buttom4) myview.add_item(buttom5) myview2 = View(timeout=180) myview2.add_item(buttom12) myview2.add_item(buttom22) myview2.add_item(buttom32) myview2.add_item(buttom42) myview2.add_item(buttom52)up

[vale frigate]

i know

[outer parcel]

O

[vale frigate]

let me test

[outer parcel]

you know its easier to put in class

much more clean

[vale frigate]

idk i sitll new

[paper sluice]

if you know about classes

[outer parcel]

this tutorial explains nicely how to do nextcord.ui.View in class

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3TqSUSOprs&t=545s

[vale frigate]

i know what is class is

[vale frigate]

i know this video

[paper sluice]

gfu :)

[outer parcel]

its basically a code for a new object whenever you call it, it makes a new instance of itsself and can be changed

think of it like a blueprint for new objects

[outer parcel]

u should put that also with the code

it should be within the command

[vale frigate]

what in the world ```py
Ignoring exception in command <nextcord.application_command.SlashApplicationCommand object at 0x000001FDE002B730>:
Traceback (most recent call last):

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

nextcord.errors.ApplicationInvokeError: Command raised an exception: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'buttom1_callback' referenced before assignment```

[outer parcel]

put that block of code inside the command function

[vale frigate]

idk i use class before but idk how put classes in this ode

[vale frigate]

yep let's start do that

idk what is function really

but i know class

[paper sluice]

[outer parcel]

you have smt like this

right ?

[vale frigate]

ah this class?

[outer parcel]

no

[vale frigate]

ah

[outer parcel]

its async function for discord bots

[vale frigate]

class buttom(nextcord.ui.buttom)```

[paper sluice]

class is indicated by class keyword
functions with def

[outer parcel]

ye

[vale frigate]

yep

@bot.slash_command(name='fight', description="Fight With a Bot!")
async def fight(ctx, health: int, time: int):```

[outer parcel]

ok but your button block of code inside that

[vale frigate]

oh

how :0

[outer parcel]

:(

[vale frigate]

rip

[outer parcel]

just copy it

and paste it beneath it

then index it

[vale frigate]

i need understand frist what you trying to do

[slate swan]

        async with self.bot.db.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute(f"SELECT color_hex FROM EmbedColor WHERE guild_id = {self.bot.guild.id}")
            result = await cursor.fetchone()

how would i get the current guild id

[outer parcel]

of the user?

[slate swan]

ye

[outer parcel]

if your using interaction then

interaction.guild.id

[slate swan]

its in the on_ready btw

[vale frigate]

ah server name py {interaction.guild} or py {ctx.guild}

[outer parcel]

Are you trying to make a db using aiosqlite

[slate swan]

already have im tryna get the guild id on the on_ready

[outer parcel]

also getting current guild is weird since the bot will be in a lot of guilds later

[vale frigate]

and i pertty sure server id py {ctx.guild.id}

[outer parcel]

im confused are you lookinng for a specifi guild

[slate swan]

hm true, so is this not possible

[vale frigate]

xD

[outer parcel]

ye unless you have a specific guild you want it to always choose

[slate swan]

ah sigh

[vale frigate]

ah

[slate swan]

ty anyways

[outer parcel]

What are you trying to make it do

[vale frigate]

ok now any one can help me

[outer parcel]

ill come wait

[slate swan]

basically a user selects an embed color and all the embeds of the bot will be that color, ive stored the hex and im tryna access it but i cant get the guild on the on ready

[outer parcel]

you will prob need it in every command

[slate swan]

i could add it to every command but then id be lazy

[vale frigate]

sure

[outer parcel]

make it into a function

[vale frigate]

Ok me will wait 10 mins

[slate swan]

o

lemme try

[outer parcel]

make a async function that gets color from data

then you can just calll on it every time in code

[slate swan]

aight ty for ur help

[outer parcel]

ok back

[outer parcel]

np

@vale frigate you have smt like this right

where your buttons are above it

you want to take buttons and index it inside the command

[vale frigate]

a

[outer parcel]

also make sure you put button1 to 5 variables also in there

[vale frigate]

OH WHat a smart guy

[outer parcel]

:/ e not relly

[vale frigate]

lol

like this?

[outer parcel]

yes

[vale frigate]

it should work?

[outer parcel]

ye prob

unless there is error in code below

send error if there is error

[vale frigate]

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

nextcord.errors.ApplicationInvokeError: Command raised an exception: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'buttom1_callback' referenced before assignment```

@outer parcel

[outer parcel]

O is button callback a function?

[vale frigate]

true

[outer parcel]

can i see how you put it ?

like where did you put it please send screenshot

[vale frigate]

click

[outer parcel]

e doesnt work for me

could u paste it into pastebin? or smt

https://pastebin.com

[vale frigate]

Sure!

[outer parcel]

ty

[vale frigate]

when i click this windows tell me there are vrius click to see more info

💀

[outer parcel]

what?

just type paste bin in google

[vale frigate]

i know this was kind a wrido

[outer parcel]

should be first thing

[vale frigate]

xD

[outer parcel]

that does not mean there is virus

[vale frigate]

i know

[outer parcel]

its just a virus checkup there are no threats

[vale frigate]

i was jkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[outer parcel]

o lol :/

[vale frigate]

https://pastebin.com/siD9MXV4

[vale frigate]

kinda dumb jk lol

[outer parcel]

aight ty

[vale frigate]

🙂

[outer parcel]

you have not defined myview yet

[slate swan]

@outer parcel could you help me with the fucntion btw cos now im kinda stuck

async def embed_color(self, interaction: nextcord.Interaction):
    async with self.bot.db.cursor() as cursor:
        await cursor.execute(f"SELECT color_hex FROM EmbedColor WHERE guild_id = {interaction.user.guild.id}")
        result = await cursor.fetchone()
        color_hex = f"{result[0]}"
        readableHex = int(hex(int(color_hex.replace("#", ""), 16)), 0)

function ^

color=await embed_color(self, interaction)

its receiving a NoneType

[vale frigate]

aaaa then how

[outer parcel]

u cant select items from aiosqlite like that

[slate swan]

wdym

[outer parcel]

like this

[paper sluice]

you are not returning anything

[slate swan]

o

[outer parcel]

await cursor.execute(f"SELECT color_hex FROM EmbedColor WHERE guild_id = ?", (interaction.user.guild.id,))
      result = await cursor.fetchone()

wait can you select from aiosqlite like that

idk im used to doing a bracket variable at the end

[vale frigate]

i defind view=myview

[paper sluice]

thats not defining

[slate swan]

o i do mine different but it works

[outer parcel]

ye but myview is not declared yet

your only defining view

not myview

[vale frigate]

readdddd up dude

[outer parcel]

ok

[vale frigate]

https://pastebin.com/siD9MXV4

Hmmm

bottom of the command? not code

[slate swan]

ye ty its working now

[paper sluice]

you are passing myview as param to the function, you haven't defined myview though

[outer parcel]

put it below this

bruh

[outer parcel]

my view is not a function here

he is making it inbuilt within the code

[vale frigate]

xD

[outer parcel]

look

[vale frigate]

true

[outer parcel]

@vale frigate

[vale frigate]

i keeping tell him read up

[outer parcel]

copy what i replied

[outer parcel]

ye see if works

[vale frigate]

Ok Sir!

[paper sluice]

very very weird structuring

[outer parcel]

ye

class is way easier

[outer parcel]

Is there any errors quick i have to go soon

[vale frigate]

i understand how fix all this

[outer parcel]

does it work?

[vale frigate]

Yep but there are so small problem

[outer parcel]

what?

[vale frigate]

Frist of all py buttom1.callback = buttom1_callback buttom2.callback = buttom2_callback buttom3.callback = buttom3_callback buttom4.callback = buttom4_callback buttom5.callback = buttom5_callback myview = View(timeout=180) myview.add_item(buttom1) myview.add_item(buttom2) myview.add_item(buttom3) myview.add_item(buttom4) myview.add_item(buttom5) myview2 = View(timeout=180) myview2.add_item(buttom12) myview2.add_item(buttom22) myview2.add_item(buttom32) myview2.add_item(buttom42) myview2.add_item(buttom52) working

butttt py buttom1_callback is furtion

[outer parcel]

ye

[vale frigate]

    async def buttom1_callback(interaction):```

SO

[vale frigate]

we need put py async def buttom1_callback(interaction): up

async def buttom1_callback(interaction):
  print("hi")
 buttom1.callback = buttom1_callback
 buttom2.callback = buttom2_callback
 buttom3.callback = buttom3_callback
 buttom4.callback = buttom4_callback
 buttom5.callback = buttom5_callback
 myview = View(timeout=180)

 myview2.add_item(buttom22)
 myview2.add_item(buttom32)
 myview2.add_item(buttom42)
 myview2.add_item(buttom52)```

like this#

[outer parcel]

yes but index it probperl;y

make sure button1.callback is not isde of the callback

ye but all callbacks above this

but index properly

otherwise it wont work

[vale frigate]

He not understand buttom1_callback

bc it not even set

we set it so down

[outer parcel]

ye but put it above the code like this

so altogether like this

[vale frigate]

like this what we trying to do rn py Print(view) view = "It will not work"

[vale frigate]

O

[outer parcel]

async def callback has to be aboce button.callbacks

[vale frigate]

still me not understand

[outer parcel]

oof

[vale frigate]

oh

wait OHHH

wait me dumb ;/

[outer parcel]

:o

[vale frigate]

Lol

[outer parcel]

put the async function iside of the command

but above the this area

so it is definied before it is called

[vale frigate]

example bc my brian kinda boom in 3

2

[outer parcel]

o

[vale frigate]

1

brian dead

[outer parcel]

I have to go soon

[vale frigate]

ok now above funtion?

[vale frigate]

Ok!

[outer parcel]

should look like this

[vale frigate]

I UNDERSTAND you try put funtion in command

[vale frigate]

oh let me try

it's aready in command

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @vale frigate!

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

[vale frigate]

ah

@outer parcel https://pastebin.com/nLTadAxq

[outer parcel]

huh where is the callbacks function

i ahve to go but put the button callback functions

above this

[vale frigate]

ah

!!!

oh

[vale wing]

I am gonna get a heart attack from this

[vale frigate]

so just py async def buttom1_callback(interaction): above thos

[vale frigate]

;0 rip @vale wing

[vale wing]

Have you ever heard of for loops

And lists

[vale frigate]

i know

i know all that

[vale wing]

And why is it named buttom

[vale frigate]

but just don't make me change all my code let's just fix this problem

[vale wing]

You'd better rewrite the whole code and your issues would automatically disappear

[vale wing]

With actually thinking about architecture

[vale frigate]

I know but let's fix and then rewrite

[vale wing]

You can fix it by rewriting

[vale frigate]

ah it will along timeee

um ok let's rewirte

@vale wing Now what we gonna do frist

[vale wing]

At least you won't suffer from aids code

Wait until I get on PC I will help with that

[vale frigate]

so what i do now ;/

ok me afk ping me when you at pc

Thank you for help anyways!

i really still new ;/ and don't know alot of things

ping me if you ready

ah

@vale wing

😦

anyone

um D:

D:::

sorry for ping again @vale wing

D:::::::::

[vale frigate]

:0

0 understand 😭

RIp

any one help

i stay here or 1 hour

no help so idk you

does i have make this in /

frist time know that

ah

um

1 sec

yes this

!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.

[vale frigate]

this code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/egucubohaq

[cerulean shale]

Try keeping the argument arg at the end, i mean after the choices

try

[silk fulcrum]

you take arguments in the function definition, not in command decorator 🗿

[cerulean shale]

Oh

OH

Nvm

[silk fulcrum]

wrongpy @bot.command(name="haha", argument: ...) async def haha(ctx):

[silk fulcrum]

right py @bot.command(name="haha") async def haha(ctx, argument: ...)

[vale frigate]

this code

[cerulean shale]

Read the error

[silk fulcrum]

first define variable, then use it, you have wrong order of that

well for you function

not variable

[silk fulcrum]

oh my gosh...

[vale frigate]

i did

[silk fulcrum]

that is -eyes

[vale frigate]

yes idk why it say

need define the fuction

and i aready did

[vale frigate]

yes i still new

[silk fulcrum]

you'd better learn basics of programming first, because that code is... bad...

[paper sluice]

you are trying to use the function before defining

import it 💀

[silk fulcrum]

SlashContext does not exist

[vale frigate]

true

help this guy he good guy

[paper sluice]

you should refer to docs for that

[vale frigate]

i know class fustion everything but i really just lazy 🦥

[vale frigate]

so what i do??? put fuction up???

[silk fulcrum]

i would be lazy to write that whole code

900+ lines

[vale frigate]

ah you will not this not your code 😂

me who will edit

but just So i need put the defin before fution

[silk fulcrum]

me who dint inderstand you english

[paper sluice]

I would recommend structuring your code better

[vale frigate]

how

[vale frigate]

😭

[slate swan]

How do I measure the latency between a message being sent, from the time it triggers?

[paper sluice]

thats for you to decide, but you can subclass View and add buttons with callbacks directly.

[vale frigate]

Example!

[paper sluice]

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

[vale wing]

@vale frigate k I am back

[paper sluice]

congrats on surviving goland

[vale wing]

About this @vale frigate

1. There's special bool type for true/false values, use it instead of strings

is_fighting = True
is_fighting = False```
2. Don't use `time.sleep` in async context, instead use `await asyncio.sleep(...)`
3. Instead of `await ctx.channel.purge(limit=1)` you can just `await ctx.message.delete()`
4. `health` and `time` will never be equal to **type** `str` and as it is typehinted it will never be **instance** of str either
5. For checking if the value is in required range you can use `if a in range(min_inclusive, max_exclusive)` instead of or, that's ok too tho

Unnecessary typecast and unnecessary brackets

As for those hell-like callbacks..

Instead of doing this (pseudocode)

if a > 5:
  a += 10
  b += 20
  c += 30
if a < 5:
  a -= 10
  b += 20
  c += 30

Do this

if a > 5:
  a += 10
if a < 5:
  a -= 10

b += 20
c += 30```
This is one of refactoring methods you really should utilize

Also I just put some of your callbacks into diff checker, seems like the difference is only damage. Instead of defining the damage in every fricking callback make a button subclass with damage attribute and just overwrite the callback inside of subclass and instantiate objects of that subclass

[hearty cliff]

hi I am programming a discord bot in python and was wondering how you call functions in something with discord api that still allows reading and writing to a file I've looked online but couldn't find what I was looking for

any help would be greatly appreciated

[vale wing]

Um what

[vale frigate]

ok

[vale wing]

Do you mean performing file operations without causing blocking?

Use aiofiles or bring it out to a thread/executor

[hearty cliff]

performing the operation of the code thats been written as a sub root and then excuting it accordingly with discords api

am I making sense

let me know if you need more info

[vocal snow]

Yes please

You have some python code and you want to execute it with the discord api?

[hearty cliff]

yes

[vocal snow]

Ok but that makes no sense

[hearty cliff]

ok

[vocal snow]

How would you execute code with the discord api

And what do you mean by that exactly

[hearty cliff]

I've written a program using sub-roots the code is there I just need to change the inputs ect but because there if statements to match with the code I think

unless I just write something like run subroteins()

[vocal snow]

Just speak in layman language

[hearty cliff]

ok

[vocal snow]

You want to send code in discord, read it with the discord bot, execute it and send the output to discord?

[hearty cliff]

yes

[vocal snow]

If it's for personal use, you can use jishaku

Otherwise snekbox/piston

[hearty cliff]

how would I go about using that?

[vocal snow]

https://github.com/engineer-man/piston

For jishaku, install with pip and load the extension (bot.load_extension("jishaku"))

Then you can use {prefix}jsk py {code}

For piston, you can use aiohttp/httpx

[hearty cliff]

ok thank you

I will give that a try

[pastel finch]

my python bot not turning on and showing this. i made it on repl. it was working fine for the past months

[rugged shadow]

sounds like a ratelimit

[pastel finch]

meaning ?

[rugged shadow]

you're sending too many requests at once

but it could just be replit

[pastel finch]

meaning i should remove some commands ?

[rugged shadow]

no

do kill 1 in the terminal

[pastel finch]

what do you mean by that ? whats terminal ? i am a noob sry

[pastel finch]

you are right what to do now ?

[knotty agate]

no problem here, just so happy that i somehow guessed the line to disconnect from a vc first try 🙂

i made a guess that voice_client was a part of the guild and i was right 🙂

[rugged shadow]

show the whole window

there should be like a "terminal" or "console" tab

[rugged shadow]

isn't that just autocomplete doing 90% of the work

[knotty agate]

no, auto complete on vscode dosent even extend past message.author for some reason (for me atleast)

[hushed galleon]

as per the pinned messages, its likely your bot was banned alongside everyone else running their discord bots on the same replit datacenters

[knotty agate]

await message.author.guild.voice_client.disconnect()

i didnt even know guild was an attribute of author so i had to guess the last 3 🤣

[rugged shadow]

there, "shell"

[hushed galleon]

you cant do much about the discord ban besides finding another way to host your bot (see pins in #965291480992321536)

[rugged shadow]

and in the shell type "kill 1"

[primal token]

You can avoid the ban by changing your public IP as cloudflare is the one that sets the ban to that IP and blocks incoming traffic

[pastel finch]

oh something is happening

[primal token]

thats just poetry installing all dependencies from poetry.lock into an environment

[rugged shadow]

if replit banned all discord-related packages, would they lose half of their customers?

[hushed galleon]

iunno about their demographics

[pastel finch]

it worked thankyou

[hushed galleon]

good ol workarounds

[rugged shadow]

🤨 👍

[primal token]

That would be imposible to block any packages that interact with the Gateway and REST API of discord, the only possible thing to do is not to let any IP and its traffic reach that server/discord

[pastel finch]

😁 🤝

[knotty agate]

so ive been trying to get my bot to play audio in vcs, following a tutorial. but ive gotten the biggest error message i have ever seen in my 10 months of python and i dont know how to interpret this

its 241 characters above the limit

https://pastebin.com/pqXMBC4g

the code

FFMPEG_OPTIONS = {'before_options' : '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5', 'options' : '-vn'}
YDL_OPTIONS = {'format' : 'bestaudio'}
vc = message.author.guild.voice_client
if vc is None:
    await message.reply("i am not in a vc")
    return
else:
    with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(YDL_OPTIONS) as ydl:
        info = ydl.extract_info(content_words[1], download=False)
        url = info['formats'][0]['url']
        source = await discord.FFmpegOpusAudio.from_probe(url, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS)
        vc.play(source)

the error message isnt consistent either, sometimes i just get
2022-09-04 15:36:08 INFO discord.player ffmpeg process 16672 successfully terminated with return code of 1.

[slate swan]

How do i get the person who used the command using @bot.command() async def func(ctx):

[knotty agate]

ctx.author

[slate swan]

thanks

what is the function to delete a message again?

is it await message.delete()

What does this mean?

Writing web request
Writing request stream... (Number of bytes written: 8764807)

Tried following a tutorial on YT to host Dc bots and I installed by typing iwr https://fly.io/install.ps1 -useb | iex in the powershell

I'm kinda new to programming in general so forgive my ignorance

[vocal snow]

Yes, without the quotes

[slate swan]

kk

[dull knot]

It installed properly but I wanna know what that means.

[vocal snow]

You should ask that on the fly.io forums

[slate swan]

isnt fly.io that sketchy ad website?

or is it that bee one

[vocal snow]

https://fly.io

I've never heard of it before

[slate swan]

ok

[vocal snow]

Looks ok at first glance though

[slate swan]

So far my code works!

[slate swan]

How do i add reactions

what is the function called?

await message.add_reaction('reaction here')?

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Message.add_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.add\_reaction

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

Adds a reaction to the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

You must have the [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission to use this. If nobody else has reacted to the message using this emoji, the [`add_reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.add_reactions "discord.Permissions.add_reactions") permission is required.

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

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

[slate swan]

wait whaaaatt

you can do that command?

[slate swan]

What is the event for when a reaction is added?

I have a bot that is suppose to forward discord messages to twitter but doesn’t respond. All the intents are enabled th

[vocal snow]

on_reaction_add or on_raw_reaction_add

[slate swan]

what is the difference

[vocal snow]

Latter is triggered even if the message isn't cached

[slate swan]

ok

@bot.event(WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?)
async def on_reaction_add(*args, **kwargs) -> None:
    print('Added')

What am I missing in bot.event(here)

it's coro= but idk what to put after the =

[knotty agate]

you dont need anything

just @bot.event()

[slate swan]

it says im missing a positional argument

[paper sluice]

you don't call event

[knotty agate]

oh yeah

[slate swan]

ypeError: event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'

[knotty agate]

you dont call it

[slate swan]

ah okay.

[knotty agate]

just @bot.event

[slate swan]

thanks

What does it give me

What does the on_reaction_add function give me as args

printing *args, **kwargs result in an error

[vocal snow]

What's the error

[slate swan]

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    with open("curse_words.txt", "r") as cursed:
        gg = cursed.readlines()
        print(cursed.readlines())
    for line in gg:
        if line in message.content:
          await message.delete()
          await message.channel.send("ayy dont curse")
``` message not deleting and no error

[silent portal]

did you check for case sensetive? if yes, is the line read as a string?

[slate swan]

in da print statement its printing an empty list []

[slate swan]

the words in the text file are written as like this
fword
fword

[fickle hamlet]

The printing issue is caused by the second readlines() call

g = cursed.readlines() changes the stream position to the end

[silent portal]

Try this:

content = cursed.read()

print(content)

[fickle hamlet]

So calling cursed.readlines() again will return []

[silent portal]

This should print out the whole txt file

[slate swan]

hmm, its printing
['fword\n', 'fword\n']

[gusty shard]

how can i make my bot print some stuff when somebody uses any of commands?

[slate swan]

just put print() between the code of the command

[gusty shard]

well printing it was just an example

i will try to make it give some coins randomly when user uses the bot

[slate swan]

I cannot help with it specifically but i will say, try making a list to record the no. of uses of the command or every single command and then trigger a specific coin giving system when that no. is hit

[silent portal]

okay then try this:

content = cursed.read()

for l in content:
print(l)

[swift pumice]

make a try: and expect:

[slate swan]

its printing the file in this way
fword
fword, and the command is working but raise NotFound(response, data)
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10008): Unknown Message error keeps getting printed again and again also the "ayy dont curse" sentence gets sent and delete multiple times

[slate swan]

@swift pumice can you give more details pls?

[slate swan]

Hey!

How do i make a timeout command?

it does lol

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.edit

await edit(*, nick=..., mute=..., deafen=..., suppress=..., roles=..., voice_channel=..., timed_out_until=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the member’s data.

Depending on the parameter passed, this requires different permissions listed below...

[maiden fable]

this has a timed_out_until kwarg

[slate swan]

what would i put after the =

[maiden fable]

datetime object

[slate swan]

readlines does that, read prints out whole the text in a string

[maiden fable]

isnt readlines the same as read().split("\n")?

[slate swan]

hi guys is it possible to give a slash command argument a description

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

how

[maiden fable]

What module

[slate swan]

discord.py

[maiden fable]

Have u checked out the slash command example in the examples folder in the repo?

[slate swan]

Thanks!

[slate swan]

yes ik how to add a description to the whole command

but is there a way to do it to each argument?

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#describe

Was wondering if anyone can help, I keep getting the following error on my discord bot:

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'id'

But I am struggling to get my head around this and where I am going wrong, so I was wondering if anyone had any good learning material that focus on this area of python, cheers!

[primal token]

!e

int.id

[unkempt canyon]

@primal token :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
003 | AttributeError: type object 'int' has no attribute 'id'

[primal token]

Youre trying to use the id attribute on an int

[slate swan]

Not really sure what I am suppose to use there then , back to learning basics then as this just isn't processing in my brain lol cheers.

[primal token]

You probably tried to use an attribute on a variable thats literal to an int and not an object with such attribute

[slate swan]

!p discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

Bad argument

Converting to "int" failed for parameter "pep_number".

[slate swan]

!p Interaction.author.id

[unkempt canyon]

Bad argument

Converting to "int" failed for parameter "pep_number".

Command Help

!pep <pep_number>
Can also use: get_pep, p

Fetches information about a PEP and sends it to the channel.

[pliant gulch]

There are a few common ways this error can happen. lets assume one of them. py channel = 343944376055103488 print(channel.id) Here, people who are new to python will assume straight away that channel is now a discord text channel when using discord.py. This is not the case and infact it is still an int.

What should be done here is that, first of all know how to convert an int into a discord.TextChanel py channel = Guild.get_channel(343944376055103488) print(channel.id) Now this piece of code works because we've converted int -> discord.TextChannel

[slate swan]

how do i get the person who interacted with something

[primal token]

NoneType: 😏

[silent portal]

do you have multiple on message events?

[hushed galleon]

it might mean their for-loop attempted deleting the message more than once

but id first double check the code to make sure the content was read correctly

its very easy to screw that up

[slate swan]

When using on_reaction_add how do I check what message they reacted to?

[hushed galleon]

what code do you currently have and what library are you using? how it should look like will depend on what is being interacted with (slash/context/message component)

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Reaction.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.message

Message this reaction is for.

[slate swan]

My if state does loop through the role ids with a dict i use and for example, if i did
print(role)

It does show the id of the emoji selected, so I assumed with that all set up an await would suffice:
await payload.member.add_roles(role)

I think I need a break from tech/coding for a bit 😄 haha.

[slate swan]

thanks 🙂

[slate swan]

i worked it out but thanks

i was using discord.py

interaction.user.mention

just needed that

[hushed galleon]

oh i thought you meant getting the Interaction itself

[pliant gulch]

Well you said role is gonna be an iteration of your dictionary that holds IDs right? So they would be ints. The problem is add_roles assumes you pass a Snowflake which is just a protocol for any class with an id attribute

You could do await add_roles(discord.Object(id=role)) to make it a snowflake

[slate swan]

Crikey, I can't believe it was that simple and I have been at this for weeks. Goes to show that what your learning isn't always the right thing though, I'll have to go through the docs again, but thank you ❤️

[pliant gulch]

No problem

[slate swan]

@hushed galleon how do I

wait

[pliant gulch]

Just remember there is a layer of abstraction that comes with discord.py, make sure to pass specific objects it tells you to do

[slate swan]

  File "main.py", line 40, in <module>
    bot.run("token")
  File "/home/runner/ScamCheck-1/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 828, in run
    asyncio.run(runner())
  File "/nix/store/2vm88xw7513h9pyjyafw32cps51b0ia1-python3-3.8.12/lib/python3.8/asyncio/runners.py", line 44, in run

??

I will do, I'll definitely have another read through docs to tyr get a better understand.

[sick birch]

Is that all? Seems like there must be more

[slate swan]

@hushed galleon is this how i get the right info? ```py
message, emoji = reaction.message, reaction.emoji

[slate swan]

yp but ican't paste all

I am trying to find what emoji they used and what message they reacted to

[sick birch]

!paste now you can

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[slate swan]

do str(reaction.emoji) though

ok

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[sick birch]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

ok

... @slate swan 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\U0001f633' in position 0: character maps to <undefined>

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iqeqijekey

message, emoji = reaction.message, str(reaction.emoji)
    print(message, emoji)

[pliant gulch]

Kek, knew it was gonna be a repl.it error as soon as I saw the nix directories in the traceback

[slate swan]

my bad, let it be that if it's a custom emoji

[slate swan]

its not, do i just remove that?

go ahead

I am trying to recreate a feature that’s in the NekoBot. Basically you type n!punch @rich otter and it will post a picture of anime person punching another person. Same with hug, kiss, etc. does anyone know of a way I can use an existing database images on the internet to pull from to get the same type of specific gifs at random, instead of me having to collect all of the images and recreating my own db?

[slate swan]

!pypi pykawaii

[unkempt canyon]

pykawaii v4.1.0

Python api wrapper for the waifu.pics api

[slate swan]

that's only for anime pictures, dont hate me :kek:

What function is used to remove a reaction from a message for a specific player.

?

like only their reaction is removed.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.remove

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

Remove the reaction by the provided [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") from the message.

If the reaction is not your own (i.e. `user` parameter is not you) then the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission is needed.

The `user` parameter must represent a user or member and meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

[slate swan]

thanks

[primal token]

isnt that okimiis package? he talked to me about it

but iirc its docs werent working or something?

[slate swan]

Only needed it for anime, THANK YOU ❤️

pleasure is mine

How do I edit a message?

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

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

Edits the message.

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

anyone know why i get this error when attempting to run my bot?
aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorCertificateError: Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:997)')]

[pliant gulch]

Could be a DNS issue, wait a few minutes and try again it might resolve itself. Or if your on MacOS it could be that you need to install some certifications (iirc)

[sick birch]

Are you on mac?

[slate swan]

yes, ive found on stackoverflow:

For Mac Users, If they are facing the same problem, You can do the following :-

Go to MacintoshHD -> Applications -> Python3.x Folder.
Double click on the "Install Certificates.command".

not sure what to do next

[sick birch]

Did you do that?

[slate swan]

yes, it’s finally worked!!

after a week of trying, my bot is finally running

[sick birch]

Yeah I had the same issue a few days back when I was setting up my new MBP for Python stuff lol

[pliant gulch]

I'd use my Mac labtop more if yabai WM wasn't so slow on that model

[slate swan]

it’s a weird error

[sick birch]

Lol. I've got the M2 chip so in terms of specs, it's pretty good. I also use it for school so might as well just do all my coding stuff on it and game on my Windows desktop haha

And occasionally use the arch dual boot when I'm too lazy to change to the mac

[pliant gulch]

Specs with M2 is amazing, sadly my Mac labtop is like a model form 2016-2018 or something

[slate swan]

nice, i recently bought a 9 year old Mac, the owner somehow installed OSCatalina on it, so it was a bargain

[pliant gulch]

At least it's better than my original "main" labtop which had a dead battery meaning It would only work when I kept it plugged in

😔

[sick birch]

average gaming laptop user

[pliant gulch]

All my labtops are strictly work related

My desktop is my gamer

Gotta use that RTX 2060 or it's kind of a waste

[sick birch]

yeah lol. gaming laptops tend to force you to plug them in all the time, which kind of defeats the point

My old one couldn't power the components with just the battery so everything I did was framecapped or the performance was horrid

[pliant gulch]

The labtop was decent had it not been for the battery health

The person I got it off from didn't keep it plugged in so it just died

I could replace but I'm quite lazy

[primal token]

Gaming laptops are like me, They get hot and explode

[pliant gulch]

It's i7 with a few cores

GPU is some intel graphics card which kinda sucks

But it has more cores and a better CPU than my desktop which is just i5

[sick birch]

Who doesn't

[primal token]

Females dont explode

[sick birch]

Getting hot and exploding is my favourite pasttime hobby

[slate swan]

Okay guys, I need help.

Lets say I have 5 tuples and the range is 0 - 48

[primal token]

Wait you explode? I thought females dont explode i guess you prove that study wrong

second grade roasts😼

[slate swan]

How do I pick a tuple that is not any of those 5 tuples

[sick birch]

I'm not following, how does a tuple have a range? It's not one number?
