``` could someone help me fix the error please?

[slate swan]

wym

[primal token]

ControlPanel only takes 1 positional argument being self

[primal token]

The answer given isnt correct and can cause more confusion.

[austere vale]

so it should be view=ControlPanel(self)
instead of view=ControlPanel(vc, ctx) ?

[primal token]

?

[austere vale]

i have 2 classes in this cog and i thought that might be whats messing it up, but im not sure

class ControlPanel(nextcord.ui.View):
  def __init(self,vc,ctx):
    super().__init__()
    self.vc=vc
    self.ctx=ctx
#buttons below


class MusicCog(commands.Cog, name='Music'):

  def __init__(self, bot):
    self.bot = bot

[primal token]

you forgot the other 2 ending underscores in the method created in ControlPanel (__init)

[slate swan]

bruh i didnt even change the code and now the bot responds after like 10 sec

[primal token]

blockingio

[crimson plover]

So obviously this would work as an indentation command await ctx.send('>>> Pong! %sms' %response_time)

But. My question is how would i format the text for something like the formats of
'css
askjdnasjkdn askjdnaskjdn
'

i know obviously thats not the format but wasnt sure how to put it in the code for something that is a single line like that... Sorry I am new to discord Bots and python here.

[austere vale]

ooo thank you

[primal token]

code blocks?

[silk fulcrum]

compact messages? 😳

[primal token]

arent those called inline embeds?

[silk fulcrum]

what is that

[primal token]

if youre referring to them ofc

[primal token]

This

[silk fulcrum]

oh, I always called them replies 🗿

[primal token]

ok

[austere vale]

  @nextcord.ui.button(label='Resume/Pause', style=nextcord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
  async def resume_and_pause(self, button: nextcord.ui.Button, interaction: nextcord.Interaction):

      await interaction.response.send_message('You can\'t do that. Run the command yourself to use these buttons.', ephemeral=True)
      return
    for child in self.children:
      child.disabled=False
    if self.vc.is_paused:
      await self.vc.resume()
      await interaction.message.edit(content='Resumed', view=self)
    else:
      await self.vc.pause()
      await interaction.message.edit(content='Paused', 

when i press the resume/pause button while a song is playing, it resumes it instead of pausing it. is there something wrong with my if statement?

nvm, i got it!!

[crimson plover]

@silk fulcrum I'm not sure that's why I'm asking

And was trying to give an example

and @primal token what do you mean by code blocks im sorry

[analog aurora]

hi got problem i have installed python 3.7 and it cant show on cmd

[indigo pilot]

??
https://femboi.best/h17l6w69
https://i-stole-your.dog/lpB0Rsis

[dark jacinth]

U using the latest version?

[indigo pilot]

i just updated

so yea

whats the command to update again maybe i did it wrong

as i havnt used python in a good while

[slate swan]

Any idea why this isnt working ?

modList = [394506589350002688, 697725862128386048] # just some ids as examples

def check_Mod(ctx):
    if ctx.author.id in modList:
        return ctx.author.id in modList

@commands.command()
@commands.check(check_Mod)
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send("You are a mod!")

saying test isnt a command

[sick birch]

You need to flip the order of the decorators I believe

[sick birch]

It's discord.Interaction.delete_original_response() not discord.InteractionResponse.delete_original_response()

If your interaction object was interaction, you would do interaction.delete_original_response() and not interaction.response.delete_original_response()

[indigo pilot]

yes?? thats what i got

https://i-stole-your.dog/qpgHt49w

[sick birch]

see this @indigo pilot

[indigo pilot]

ohh

yea that dosnt work etiehrthought i said that

lol

[sick birch]

What error do you get when you try interaction.delete_original_response()?

[indigo pilot]

let me see lul

[indigo pilot]

AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'delete_original_response'

[naive briar]

Is this in a cog?

[sick birch]

!d discord.Interaction.delete_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.delete\_original\_response

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

Deletes the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.delete "discord.InteractionMessage.delete") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

[slate swan]

evening all, I was wondering if any could advise what I should be looking into when I want to lock a reaction role down to the message posted, so im not picking up roles on any message I may use these selected emojis. I seen Rapportz example where it requires a message ID but is there a way to do it without a message ID? Do i need to look for the guild id, get the channel and then use that channel to fetch the payload message?

[indigo pilot]

yea its in the docs thats how i found it

but it wont work

[sick birch]

It was renamed a while ago so make sure you update

[indigo pilot]

i did but again like i said i may of did it wrong

do i just pip install then

or is there a cmd

wait no i did do it right

weird

fixed it it was delete_original_message but that still dosnt work for me lol

[atomic glacier]

    if scope == 'all':
        guild = ctx.guild
        members = guild.members
        print(members)
        print(len(members), members)
        for x in members:
            print(x)
            await x.add_roles(role, reason=None, atomic=True)

its only printing the bot

[dry kelp]

Hey hey... how could i make a monthly payment thing? I have 0 knowledge into this and honestly i don't even know what to start with

[sick birch]

Look into Stripe API

[dry kelp]

stripe requires a credit card

[sick birch]

You probably don’t have the guild members intent

[dry kelp]

or bank IBAN if im not wrong... im still a minor

what do u think of paypal?

[atomic glacier]

How would one get it?

[sick birch]

Well yeah. If you’re going to do anything financial with your discord bot you better have a bank account

Otherwise I’d just forget it

[dry kelp]

this will happen once i turn 18... which is next year lol

but i still need something till then

do u think paypal is a good solution?

[sick birch]

Probably not

If a bot wanted me to make payments through PayPal i better be ready to say bye bye to the money

[dry kelp]

why?

paypal preferes USD

low taxes using that

[sick birch]

Not really secure for business transactions

What’s stopping me from running away with your money?

[dry kelp]

How could you even do that?

[sick birch]

Just not provide them the service you say you will

[dry kelp]

Sorry im getting confused right now

so it's because of a low security? is that what u mean?

i didn't get the part where u said "running away with your money"

[sick birch]

Say you ask your users to pay you $5 for a bot function

They pay you

[dry kelp]

yes

[sick birch]

What’s stopping you from not giving them that bot function

Your users can’t be certain of that

[dry kelp]

Why would i do that?

also i want to make it automatically...

no need for me to manage that

[sick birch]

Don’t know if you can do it automatically

[sick birch]

Your users don’t know that

[dry kelp]

Ok so lemme tell u what im currently up to do

its a NSFW monthly subscription

that way we can avoid some minors from seeing it.. im also a minor but meh

[dry kelp]

What would u use "to do it automatically" if u were me?

like what i have to do is to somehow pull the user ID then add it to a db

if the user id is there then let the user use the NSFW commands...

@sick birch Yes looked into it. to allow payments they asking for the IBAN

[dry kelp]

Patreon accepts minors?

[slate swan]

How would i invaildate said key ?

@bot.command()
async def redeem(ctx, key):
    query.execute("""SELECT CLAIMED_KEY FROM KEYS WHERE USER_ID = ?""",(ctx.author.id,))
    list_keys = [row[0] for row in query.fetchall()]
    if key in list_keys:
        await ctx.send('vaild key ')
        # Invaildate said key
    else:
        await ctx.send('invaild key ')

something like this ?

im using sqlite3

nvm fixed by my self ^

[quaint epoch]

bruh

[atomic glacier]

How would one recommend I save a string set with a command (unique to each server)

I was thinking SQL data store with firebase

[sick birch]

Stripe

I'd create a website using discord Oauth and integrate it with Stripe

Once a user successfully does a transaction, I can add their ID (through oauth) to a database

The discord bot also has access to this database, so it can verify the premium status of users

[supple coral]

hey i wanted to make that the bot updates the slash commands but every time this Message comes:

KeyError: '1016801750214246472' ```

[naive briar]

That means update_guild_commands has no 1016801750214246472 in it

[wicked kayak]

how install pycord i forgot the command

@sick birch

[naive briar]

Maybe

[slate swan]

Guys how do I get the player's name from ctx

!discord.Context.ctx

[primal token]

!blockingio

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

[supple coral]

how do i make it that it works?

[primal token]

And it seems like it didnt return valid JSON

[naive briar]

I don't know how code works

[primal token]

?

[rare echo]

dictionary = no word

or number…

[naive briar]

I mean, Idk how he's going to put guild IDs in update_guild_commands

[primal token]

poor choice of words

[naive briar]

I'm suck at explaining things

[slate swan]

Yea i think its cus the website takes a long time to boot up , no idea how to fix that tbh

well more like it just takes a long time to load

[cursive nova]

how can i make this send in blocks instead of sending line by line
''' file = open("medivia.txt")
lines = specified_lines = [0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8]
print("Sending lines")
for pos, l_num in enumerate(file):
if pos in specified_lines:
print(l_num)
await ctx.send(l_num)
await ctx.send("----------")'''

[mossy jacinth]

Got two things to fix...

First: TypeError: abc.send123() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'self' and 'ctx'
Second: It always creates a new channel with the same name when using the command to load the cog...

[hazy isle]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone would be able to speak to me about sending messages through the webhook via python script. I posted about it in a help channel and was referred to here. Please reply to this message if so. Thank you!

Please refer to #help-bread

I am rather new to python as well, I apologize in advance.

[torn sail]

do asyncio.run(foo())

[hazy isle]

Am adding that to the end?

[torn sail]

yeah thats the way to start an async func

[hazy isle]

from discord import Webhook
import aiohttp
import asyncio

async def foo():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        webhook = Webhook.from_url('https://discord.com/api/webhooks/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/i5957RCj2umzw5W9QFw-ZaaUEY8YlpCGtSOoQcxZSuLnICzZGvvTjTUDHAbQa5rygECa', session=session)
        await webhook.send('Hello World', username='foo')

asyncio.run(foo())

[torn sail]

!d discord.Webhook.from_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.from\_url

classmethod from_url(url, *, session, bot_token=None)```
Creates a partial [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook "discord.Webhook") from a webhook URL.

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

[torn sail]

huh

[hazy isle]

?

[primal token]

1.7.3 doesnt have such a kwarg

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/v1.7.3/api.html?highlight=webhook from_url#discord.Webhook.from_url

[torn sail]

oh yeah then @hazy isle if your on 1.7.3 you pass the adapter kwarg instead of session

adapter being one of these https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/v1.7.3/api.html?highlight=webhook from_url#discord.AsyncWebhookAdapter

[primal token]

you're*

[torn sail]

*your

[primal token]

no

[torn sail]

yes

[sick birch]

yr'oue*

[hazy isle]

await request(verb, url, payload=None, multipart=None, *, files=None, reason=None)

so use this?

await

[primal token]

request is a method of discord.Async.WebhookAdapter which I doubt you need to use, you probably just need to create an instance of discord.Async.WebhookAdapter and pass the instance to discord.Webhook.from_url with the session being passed to the newly created instance of discord.Async.WebhookAdapter

[hazy isle]

Being newer to python, much of this I am learning as we speak.

May I see an example of how this would look?

The terminology "passed" does not translate properly in my head.

[primal token]

Well, if i continue to explain i doubt you will get the terms or how it would work as this is basic python OOP and understanding would be a disaster if you havent studied about the paradigm or how python uses it

[hazy isle]

Well, at least we are on the same page.

[primal token]

I would recommend learning, Basic python if you haven't, python's OOP and then asynchronous programming and its implementation in python, over causing unnecessary headaches to yourself

[hazy isle]

Okay, back to the books I go. Thanks for the attempt to help then. I appreciate it.

I have just started messing with python scripts being used with discord.

This appeared to be rather simple, but the wall I hit with this simple test of sending messages to discord really just grinded my gears. In the help channel, they said it appeared I was trying to mix to different style of it together. I think I am just trying to make it work based off of what I can read. lol

[primal token]

if you need them saved e.g on a dm reply to the message with .bm, note: you need to have your dms opened

[hazy isle]

I went ahead and saved this to my personal server.

I feel like I have a decent grasp on the basics, but like the bare basics. I was able to make a script that counts cards as a little project. I will check this out in depth. Thank you.

[primal token]

np!

[pulsar bay]

bots create they’re own role upon joining servers right?

[primal token]

An Integration role, yes.

[oblique loom]

Are you like brand new to python to where you haven’t learned about variables or functions and stuff like that? Or are you past that? Because if you brand brand new, I recommend checking out programmingwithmosh on YouTube, I pretty sure that’s his name

[hazy isle]

I am past that. I still use a lot of resources to refer to constantly. I would say about two months of self study and trying to implement things. I tend to do well with basic exercise now. Some of the references take me a little bit to look up. I really don't have anyone personally to lean on for questions. So like 99% of everything I do has came down to trial and error. Then it clicks.

Also, he was the first video I spent time on. Great vids.

The 1 hour video.

[oblique loom]

Yes he has great tutorials. Respect

[oblique loom]

That’s the one I watched, did you know he has a 6 hour long video!!!

[hazy isle]

I did not and I don't think I even have the mental capability of watching it.

I've only recently started to mess with python and discord together. I think that is why this is why I am having such a difficult time with such a simple thing.

Like I am pulling this from discord.py/readthedocs.io

from discord import Webhook
import aiohttp

async def foo():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        webhook = Webhook.from_url('url-here', session=session)
        await webhook.send('Hello World', username='Foo')

[oblique loom]

Me neither, and I just started teaching myself and learning python also. I would say I’m between beginner and intermediate.

[hazy isle]

lol so that's what is more frustrating.

[oblique loom]

Closer to beginner for me

[hazy isle]

Same. We would be the blind leading the blind.

[oblique loom]

Stuff like this I don’t understand yet

So far all I’ve done is make a auto bridge thing for Minecraft (I don’t use it) and I also made a T-Rex run game cheat

[hazy isle]

I comprehend the formatting. This is my first experience with async. So that's that.

I made a script that counts cards for you in black jack. (no I don't use it, it was just to test my understanding.)

[oblique loom]

Nice

[hazy isle]

It has a fancy menu in it as well. lol

While loops took me forever and a day (maybe 2 full days) to learn.

[oblique loom]

So far I’m just using my coding skills that I have right now, and making bigger things, and maybe finding out more and more by scrolling through this discord and sometimes asking questions

[sick birch]

Took me way longer, you're making good pace

[oblique loom]

I’m good with while true loops, that like 20% of the 2 projects I have made so far.

Idk if you guys mean more complex loops tho

[hazy isle]

Thank you. It appears that python and coding in general is a very logical process, so I tend to do well with logical problem solving.

For me though, it is extremely difficult to really spend a good amount of time in it as I have a full time job that is not related to coding at all and small family unit. lol so I really can only mess with this stuff in the evenings. Maybe get 2-4 hours in here and there.

[oblique loom]

That’s a good schedule. If keep that up for a while, you could learn a lot pretty quick.

[sick birch]

Oh, then you're making real good pace. Keep it up!

[primal token]

I wouldnt say theyre good in terms of explaning in depth, hes good to use his videos as a reference or as a tree of concepts to use and study those concepts deeply with other tutorials that are strictly talking about the given concept, But i wouldn't say with one video youll actually understand everything over syntax or a simple resumed explanation.

[slate swan]

You should get into classes if your really passionate abt coding , only a 1hr a class , would be a fun passtime if you like that typa stuff

[oblique loom]

Yes that is true. But he still gives pretty good tutorials. He gives you the simple stuff of the basics

[slate swan]

For me , thats what really spark my coding , i took a java class and it really help me understand the fundamentals of coding

[hazy isle]

I've contemplated it. Harvard actually offers a free python class I have been playing with the idea.

Also, like this makes no sense to me, thus far. I pulled this right from discord.py

import requests
from discord import Webhook, RequestsWebhookAdapter

webhook = Webhook.partial(123456, 'abcdefg', adapter=RequestsWebhookAdapter())
webhook.send('Hello World', username='Foo')

Obviously I filled it in with the correct things on my end, but when I run it from cmd it just sits there forever. The message never goes through to the discord. lol like WHY?!

[primal token]

Hes only good at explaining a concept in a compact understandable manner but i wouldnt really recommend it to absolute beginners maybe after they have learned the concepts and want to check if theyre missing something

[oblique loom]

Ok

[primal token]

ok

[oblique loom]

I mean I’m a beginner myself. And I used his hour long tutorial and though it was pretty good, but at the same time more advanced programmers would realize more how much they really teach and what they miss out.

[slate swan]

I have no idea with the discord import webhook , i usally just use requests like

requests.post(url, json=json)
```or discord_webhook is a bit eaiser , me personally i have no experience with that typa stuff

[hazy isle]

https://pll.harvard.edu/course/cs50s-introduction-programming-python?delta=0

The python class I mentioned earlier.

[primal token]

Well, when i was bored i took a look into it, which i already know enough python i would say, in my opinion the video wasnt bad but it was just very brief

[sick birch]

Didn't you say you wanted to do it manually?

[hazy isle]

Yeah, but I was just looking through the discord docs and even trying this, it didn't work.

[primal token]

Lets learn some python 2😼

[sick birch]

Can you link it to me? Looks sort of wrong, think webhook.send() needs to be awaited

[oblique loom]

Yeah.
Got any good beginner-intermediate tutorials that don’t go too deep but give a good example and explanation about each thing? I want to learn more. I have already made 2 projects with what I already know.

[sick birch]

!resources have you seen any of these yet? pretty useful

#discord-bots message

[sick birch]

@hazy isle you might be looking at an older version of the docs, this is what I'm seeing from the docs:

from discord import Webhook
import aiohttp

async def foo():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        webhook = Webhook.from_url('url-here', session=session)
        await webhook.send('Hello World', username='Foo')

[hazy isle]

Oh my god, I am sorry. I sent the wrong one. I found that other snippet in the discord.py

I've tried both what you posted and the other one I found.

[sick birch]

What's the problem with this?

The other one you found seems to be from an older version

[hazy isle]

I set it up with the URL and just test what they have there. It just sits on the screen.

the cursor just blinks.

[sick birch]

Did you use asyncio.run() to kickstart the event loop?

[hazy isle]

At the end of it, yes.

[sick birch]

Hm. You're sure you're running the right file?

[sick birch]

Oh, and it hangs for this version, not the other one?

[hazy isle]

One moment.

[oblique loom]

Thanks to you and @sick birch . I will most definitely use these resources to help me.

[primal token]

np

[sick birch]

Do me a favour, try printing discord.__version__ to see what version you're on

[hazy isle]

I already had it open on the discord API wrapper.

__author__ = 'Rapptz'
__license__ = 'MIT'
__copyright__ = 'Copyright 2015-present Rapptz'
__version__ = '1.7.3'```

you are amazing.

It's out of date.

I just updated it through pip now.

I am on 2.0.1 now....let's try this again. lol

IT WORKED!

Thank you so much.

Check to make sure all packages are up to date.

This is how I learn best. Making mistakes!

[static garden]

I have an issue here. I don't understand how logging works apparently. On this example I get the logs to appear in the discord.log file but not on the console. How can I make it appear as well on the console?

    log_handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(
        filename='discord.log',
        encoding='utf-8',
        maxBytes=5 * 1024 * 1024,  # 5 MBs
        backupCount=3)  # Rotate through 3 files
    bot.run(
        token=hellodiscordiamnotthatdumbxD,
        log_handler=log_handler,
        log_level=logging.INFO)
```Then inside a cog:
```py
    logger = logging.getLogger('discord')
    logger.info("test to see if this works")
```What am I missing?

[paper sluice]

!d logging.StreamHandler

[unkempt canyon]

logging.StreamHandler

class logging.StreamHandler(stream=None)```
Returns a new instance of the [`StreamHandler`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html#logging.StreamHandler "logging.StreamHandler") class. If *stream* is specified, the instance will use it for logging output; otherwise, *sys.stderr* will be used.

[paper sluice]

make an instance of that ^ and it to your logger.

[static garden]

thanks

[jagged adder]

im trying to use a def func to provide default values for my bot.command cmd;
the problem is that if i put it above the bot call and define the returned value, its random variables r locked when the bot is started up.
how can i get around this ?
(this is a simplified example below)

def fruit():
  fr = random.choice(['apple', 'banana'])
  ch = random.choice(['1', '2'])
  return fr, ch
fr, ch = fruit()

@bot.command(name='fruit')
async def selection(ctx, fruit=fr, num=ch):
  ctx.send(fruit, num)

atm, itll just print the same thing repeatedly, as fr/ch is locked when the bot is launched

[naive briar]

You could try to do something like this

@bot.command()
async def some_command(ctx, v1='auto', v2='auto'):
    if v1 == 'auto':
        v1 = random_value()
    if v2 == 'auto':
        v2 = random_value()

    await ctx.send(f"{v1} {v2}")

If the input is auto then we'll generate or random it for them

[jagged adder]

hmm, this might work

[slate swan]

I'm working with the guilded.py, but it seems to be based from the discord.py so why am I getting this error?
Context: I'm trying to change the name of the bot when it talks in chat

[maiden fable]

This channel is for help with discord bots, not guilded bots. You might wanna open a help channel, but seeing the error, it seems like you can't edit bot details from code

[slate swan]

Ok

[jagged adder]

this isnt on topic, but i gotta say i like your pfp

[maiden fable]

Thanks!

[meager chasm]

i don't (🤢)

async def slash2(interaction: discord.Interaction, option: game):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Command response {option}", ephemeral = True) 

how do i pass a list as a parameter in a slash command game is a list i made

[naive briar]

I don't think I understand what you're saying here

But I'm assuming you want to add a parameter option that gonna take the arguments as a list

[ashen perch]

yes

[vale wing]

Afaik discord API doesn't support lists so you gotta do your own implementation

[naive briar]

You can use * for that

@tree.command(guild = discord.Object(id=test_server_id), name = 'start_game', description='Choose a game') 
async def slash2(interaction: discord.Interaction, *option):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Command response {option}", ephemeral = True) 

You also can take a look at https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py#L44

[unkempt canyon]

@bot.command(description='For when you wanna settle the score some other way')```

[shrewd apex]

u can make a custom convertor

[naive briar]

:thonk:

[shrewd apex]

that basically make tuple of the strings u input by splitting at space

[vale wing]

You might also mean autocomplete

[shrewd apex]

it depends on his use case

[naive briar]

Are you trying to use shrike.avatar.url as the icon of the author?

[ionic edge]

nvm

i had to use icon_url

discord.ext.commands.errors.HybridCommandError: Hybrid command raised an error: Command 'afk' raised an exception: TypeError: execute expected at most 2 arguments, got 3

[ashen perch]

did not work

[slate swan]

I first tried bot-hosting.not, then replit.com.

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/texepidiso

[naive briar]

Hm, you could try using a converter

!d discord.ext.commands.Greedy

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Greedy

class discord.ext.commands.Greedy```
A special converter that greedily consumes arguments until it can’t. As a consequence of this behaviour, most input errors are silently discarded, since it is used as an indicator of when to stop parsing.

When a parser error is met the greedy converter stops converting, undoes the internal string parsing routine, and continues parsing regularly.

For example, in the following code:

```py
@commands.command()
async def test(ctx, numbers: Greedy[int], reason: str):
    await ctx.send("numbers: {}, reason: {}".format(numbers, reason))
```  An invocation of `[p]test 1 2 3 4 5 6 hello` would pass `numbers` with `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]` and `reason` with `hello`...

[naive briar]

Wait

[jagged adder]

how do i delete a discord msg by reacting to it with a specific emoji?

[naive briar]

I just see that you're using slash command

My bad

But I think you still can use converter

[vocal snow]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add "discord.on_reaction_add"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

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

[vocal snow]

payload is an instance of discord.RawReactionActionEvent. it likely has an emoji attr which you can use to check the emoji

[naive briar]

And I probably get it wrong again

[naive briar]

Just in case if you want something like this, you can use typing.Literal and take a look at https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/transformers.py#L87

add a try/except to handle that

[vale frigate]

why this not working
{('%a, %#d %B %Y')}

[slate swan]

What should it do..?

[vale frigate]

ah

say the time of rn

[slate swan]

Then just do await ctx.send(datetime.now())

[vale frigate]

ah

Ok then datetime.now() Thank You!!

[slate swan]

datetime.datetime.now()

[vale frigate]

um

[slate swan]

You need to install it pip install datetime and import datetime.

[vale frigate]

import it?

ok

this not wokring embed.add_field(name=f'Time', value=f"{datetime.datetime.now()}", inline=True)

no error but it not show

@slate swan

[naive briar]

That's because you have to get the user from the interaction first

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[vale frigate]

Ok!!

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.utils.utcnow 🤔

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.utcnow

discord.utils.utcnow()```
A helper function to return an aware UTC datetime representing the current time.

This should be preferred to [`datetime.datetime.utcnow()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcnow "(in Python v3.10)") since it is an aware datetime, compared to the naive datetime in the standard library.

New in version 2.0.

[silk fulcrum]

How do you call your function

[glad cradle]

they are almost the same thing
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/utils.py#L737

[unkempt canyon]

discord/utils.py line 737

return datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)```

[vital drift]

I'm trying to make a guard bot with discord.py and there is a place where I'm stuck. How can I reinstate the updated value on channel and role updates?

[primal token]

datetime is a module?

not a library, its a stdlib

[vale frigate]

ah why this not work py if self.name2.value content "https://discord.com/channels":

[paper sluice]

what are you trying to do?

[vale frigate]

ah

check if self.name2.value contents "https://discord.com/channels"

[paper sluice]

do you mean, contains?

[vale frigate]

yees

[paper sluice]

!e you can do something like this

string = 'hello'
if 'h' in string:
    print('yes')

[unkempt canyon]

@paper sluice :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

yes

[vale frigate]

OOOh in

[rare echo]

the single word “contents” completely made my brain go numb to everything else in the question trying to figure out what that was

[vale frigate]

ok now how check if 'h' isn't in string

[paper sluice]

not in

[vale frigate]

:0 what a smart guy

[rare echo]

lmao

[vale frigate]

are you sure this should work? if self.name2.value not in "https://discord.com/channels":

when i put message link like [#discord-bots message](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/343944376055103488/) it say you can't

and it should can bc this in the self.name2.value

OHHH

sorry me dumb 🙂

Thank You for your time!!

[vital drift]

I'm trying to make a guard bot with discord.py and there is a place where I'm stuck. How can I reinstate the updated value on channel and role updates?

[cursive nova]

hello how can i send multiple strings in a codeblock to discord through bot
tried different things it just types the string names.

[vale frigate]

why if "https://discord.com/channels" or " " not in self.name2.value: not working

or " " isn't working

[primal token]

!or

[unkempt canyon]

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

# Incorrect...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

[vale frigate]

oh

Ok!

@primal token what this code do if self.name2.value is set:

[slate swan]

        print("b")
        view = ticket_panel(self, self.bot, "d")
        print("C")

[primal token]

it checks if self.name2.value's identity is equal to set

[naive briar]

Did you updated your ticket_panel class?

[vale frigate]

ok

[slate swan]

wdym?

[naive briar]

I see that you're putting self and d in the call

view = ticket_panel(self, self.bot, "d")

But your view only take 1 argument

[slate swan]

Yeah, I tried to see if it would give an error. For some reason it didn't.

[naive briar]

Hm

[slate swan]

It doesn't work with 1 argument either.

The thing is that it worked before, then I changed database and now it isn't working. Even tho I'm not using the database in that command.

[naive briar]

Where do you call it?

[slate swan]

In a slash command, it executes everything until the call, then it quits without an error and all the code below stays un-executed.

Found the problem

I accidently overwrote the function by assigning a variable with the same name. 🤦‍♂️

[naive briar]

can somebody help me?

[hushed galleon]

add_roles() doesnt take a member object

[gusty shard]

so i need to remove member before role

thank you

[hushed galleon]

mhm

[gusty shard]

it works now but it didnt remove the role after 5 sec

(sorry for ping)

is there something wrong with await member.remove_roles(role)?

[hushed galleon]

hm im sure that sure should probably be typed with int/float since you're passing it to asyncio.sleep()

[gusty shard]

await asyncio.sleep(int(sure))

would that work?

[hushed galleon]

i mean, sure, but you already have it as a command parameter, just replace the typehint and let dpy convert it for you

[gusty shard]

right

thank you again

[faint sapphire]

howdy, i use my raspberry pi 3 to host a discord bot, i also plan on hosting a website with it
i was wondering if getting an external ssd for it would be beneficial, it would run on it instead of the micro sd card

[slate swan]

this...isn't the correct channel?

[sick birch]

Depends on the size of your bot and website

And considerations like a database

[vocal plover]

And possibly reliability, storing frequently read and written data on an SD card is more likely to result in data loss than something like an external drive designed for that sort of operation, but on the flip side, good backups should remove this from being any more of a problem than needing a new SD card

[slate swan]

yep

I can't use the setup_hook 'cause no and syncing inside the method I use Bot.start in, results in a missing app id error

[paper sluice]

Bot.login maybe

or connect

[slate swan]

huh?

should I connect and login manually

[paper sluice]

yea, idk why you can't use setup hooks but, setup_hook is called in login so you might as well

[glad cradle]

you could do something similar to setup_hook subclassing commands.Bot and overwriting the start method (make call to your setup_hook function and then call the original start method with super().start(...))

[slate swan]

I tried that, doesn't work

[slate swan]

yeah, ig that will do

thnks

[glad cradle]

that's how I made it
https://github.com/Snipy7374/SnipyBot-CodeWithVincentServer/blob/master/bot.py#L66-L76

[light jungle]

hello everyone, I have a question how to do so that after the bot sent a message and you answered it through the "reply" button, I sent the following message, and when I just wrote without the "Reply" button, I did not answer anything

[slate swan]

I need to sync the commands smh

[dull terrace]

Am I having a stroke

[primal token]

you can use asyncio.create_task, but why not use setup_hook?

[slate swan]

'cause no

[primal token]

?

[glad cradle]

she's creative

[primal token]

[slate swan]

why is it Optional [bool] when the default value is a bool?

jeez im dumb

no actually im not

[glad cradle]

a parameter is optional when it have a default value setted, not when it's None

[slate swan]

the copy function for embeds is kinda useful in dpy

[slate swan]

wrong

!d typing.Optional

[unkempt canyon]

typing.Optional

typing.Optional```
Optional type.

`Optional[X]` is equivalent to `X | None` (or `Union[X, None]`).

Note that this is not the same concept as an optional argument, which is one that has a default. An optional argument with a default does not require the `Optional` qualifier on its type annotation just because it is optional. For example:

```py
def foo(arg: int = 0) -> None:
    ...
```  On the other hand, if an explicit value of `None` is allowed, the use of `Optional` is appropriate, whether the argument is optional or not. For example...

[slate swan]

read the paragraph in the middle

!d discord.Embed.copy

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.copy

copy()```
Returns a shallow copy of the embed.

[glad cradle]

but mypy doesn't cry about it

[slate swan]

so useful ngl

[slate swan]

it won't cry because it thinks the value provided by the user can be None as well, as mentioned its not related to the default value at all

and its set to a bool, so why would it have an issue

[slate swan]

yeah... helps to create similar embeds

[glad cradle]

that's not the part where it shod cry, reconnect kwarg accepts only bool so he should cry in that sense

[slate swan]

your mypy is drunk

def foo(x: int): ...
def bar(x: int | None = 69): foo(x)

[shrewd apex]

this optional stuff is always very irritating

iirc mypy has some implicit and explicit optional config method use that

[slate swan]

🚶‍♂️ it keeps you safe from dumb discord.py cache issues

discord.player: ffmpeg process 44 successfully terminated with return code of -11.

how to fix this irritating error

[slate swan]

anyone?

[steep estuary]

how to add this ?

and what is this ?

do you mean slash commands?

i added that

[sick birch]

Are they global, and are they synced?

[steep estuary]

it is working in my testing server of slashcommands

but the slash commands are not appearing in other servers

[steep estuary]

yes

i synced that

global ?

oh how to globally sync them ?

aah that's why they are not appearing in other servers

ok

wait sharing my code

[radiant parrot]

how would i put current time in embed footer? 🙂

[steep estuary]

await bot.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=936466653271691265))
    print("Synced")

i am syncing like this

what to change here?

[sick birch]

await bot.tree.sync()

[steep estuary]

ok

[steep estuary]

@bot.hybrid_command(name="ban", with_app_command=True, description="Ban a Member from this Server")
@app_commands.guilds(discord.Object(id=936466653271691265))
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def ban(ctx):
  pass

this too ?

[sick birch]

yes i believe so

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime

class datetime.datetime(year, month, day, hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0, tzinfo=None, *, fold=0)```
The *year*, *month* and *day* arguments are required. *tzinfo* may be `None`, or an instance of a [`tzinfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.tzinfo "datetime.tzinfo") subclass. The remaining arguments must be integers in the following ranges...

[steep estuary]

should i remove that guilds line ?

[primal token]

Not exactly

they should be instant uppon syncing/registering now

it was told in discord.gg/discord-developers i believe

[steep estuary]

do you mean i can see the change instantly ?

[primal token]

They should, yes

[hushed galleon]

iirc the "try my commands" part is for verified bots only

discord lists them based on popularity

[steep estuary]

my bot is verified

[sick birch]

my_tup = ("hello", "world", "element 3", )

[slate swan]

@sick birch ever since setting up your Mac have you ever gotten a TypedDict error?

[dull knot]

Guys, say, if I wanted to import a variable from one file to the other, what should I do?
from file import file.variablename?

[slate swan]

you are trying to access item from tuple that doesnt exist

[paper sluice]

!e

print(int('hello'))

[weary flume]

how do i make my bot read a text file and say whats in it?

[paper sluice]

you should know that.

[dull knot]

Pretty vague question so lemme rephrase.
I want to

    """         Topic         """  
    @commands.command(name="topic")
    async def topic(self, ctx):
      Responses = Very Long List of Topics
      embed = disnake.Embed(title="", description=f":BA: {random.choice(Responses)}", colour = disnake.Colour.random())
      embed.set_author(name=f"Requested by {ctx.author.nick}", icon_url=f"{ctx.author.display_avatar}")
      
      await ctx.send(embed=embed)
      await ctx.message.delete()

Instead of putting the Responses in the Current file, I want to transfer a variable from a different file to this cmd right here. I tried
from file import file.variablename but it just said these (Picture)

[paper sluice]

from file import variable

[dull knot]

Aight lemmet ry

[paper sluice]

rip

[dull knot]

It worked. thx for the help!

[paper sluice]

nope, these are basic things you should know by now, but you don't because every time someone tries to help you by sending you to docs or a tutorial , you simply ignore it and ask people to write code for you.

[dull knot]

Is there a way to access variables from files which are inside a folder with a hyphen? Tried doing it like this From File-Name.Variable import Responses but it didn't work lol

Asking this just out of curiosity

Seems like it works if I remove the hyphen

[paper sluice]

like, from folder.file import object

[dull knot]

yup

But instead, the folder has a hyphen in between. Like folder-name.filename

[paper sluice]

then you can't do that

the folder name must follow the same rules as naming a variable or function

[dull knot]

so _

[paper sluice]

yea

hey guys vs code acting weird. i import smth from my own file and it works but now i import the same thing just with another name and it wont work

can i have some help pls

nvm i forgot to save it lol

[lone lichen]

Wdym with another name

[feral frost]

ye like this

test = "test" test2 = "test"

but i forgot that you need to click ctrl + s in vs

[primal token]

Why would you create another pointer?

[feral frost]

bruh nvm guys i was just wondering why but i found it

i forgot to SAVE it

because i use VISUAL STUDIO

[primal token]

autosave is a feature

[feral frost]

well i didnt know

i also wont use it

        await ctx.reply(f"`{tokens}` is now redeemed.", mention_author=False)
    else:
        await ctx.reply('Token not found')

not sure why this isnt working

[paper sluice]

you are trying to check if a list in the string

which is obv not correct

[weary flume]

still new to python

[paper sluice]

i think you want to iterate over the list, and check if the item of the list is in the string

[maiden fable]

you mean if message in tokens lol

[paper sluice]

or that

[weary flume]

ok

[maiden fable]

I like the dialogue "I am new to Python" idk why

[primal token]

That really shouldnt be an excuse to jump to an advanced library either

[weary flume]

im just making stuff that i need for what i want to do with the bot

[primal token]

Thats like saying, I did my own heart surgery because i needed it

[meager chasm]

The tapeworms are so cute ☺️

[primal token]

Arent tapeworms, worms that come from your behind?

How does that have any relation to your heart

[weary flume]

yeah now it works but

it responds back with the whole thing

[meager chasm]

no tapeworms can be anywhere in your body

[weary flume]

['TIUiPjep4t', 'PtBVrRBVWv', '7Nkpp9IIpn', 'oDM62ZQXsF', 'RrSnyx9aXU'] is now redeemed.

thats what it says

[meager chasm]

Yea because that's what you're telling it to send

[weary flume]

what should i change

[meager chasm]

What do you want to send

[weary flume]

the command will go

.redeem TIUiPjep4t

then it will say the token is redeemed

[meager chasm]

So which variable is storing the token

[weary flume]

tokens

[meager chasm]

No, tokens is storing all the valid tokens

Which variable is storing the token given by the user

Which is what you want to send

[dark pine]

hello

i joined the server to get help figuring out what wrong i have done on my discord bot code

if anyone could help me

[sick birch]

Ask away

[dark pine]

i have everything setup, but im still getting error messages for every command i use

i have went back through all the code for like 11 times and i cant find what wrong i have done

[sick birch]

Would be helpful to see the error message

[dark pine]

its my first day coding in here

Hello

[dark pine]

but its my first day coding a discord bot

[sick birch]

Because it’s an advanced library and not meant for newcomers

[dark pine]

aha

i just wanted to code a bot that counts a virtual points

with add, remove and balance command, and it felt like it would be normal

but its not, using too many external functions

would you like to see what doesnt work ?

[sick birch]

How else could I help lol

im using replit btw

not sure if the issue is from the cloud thing

[sick birch]

I have a feeling I know where this is going

but it works fine runnning it on cloud

Send the error please

Otherwise it’s impossible to tell what’s wrong (though I have a hunch)

[drifting arrow]

Is it possible to do a loop, but it doesnt do an initial run?

coz whenever I start a loop it always does an initial run

[paper sluice]

what loop is it?

[vale frigate]

any helpp??

[drifting arrow]

tasks.loop

[paper sluice]

oh, i was thinking about something completely different xD

[drifting arrow]

yeah lol

[vale frigate]

D:

[dark pine]

lol, i cant now even create url to add the bot

idk what happened

[radiant parrot]

how do i make my bot execute a command?

[sick birch]

You probably selected the wrong thing in the URL generator

[dark pine]

i had another choice thats how i added the bot before

but its not showing it rn

[dull knot]

I'll make this quick since I'm sleepy as hell. How can I loop through a list? I want to loop through this list of Activities. But I just can't figure out how.

So far, I have this:

Activity = ["Activity 1", "Activity 2", "Activity 3"]

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix=",",
    intents=intents,
    status=disnake.Status.idle,
    activity = disnake.Activity(type=disnake.ActivityType.watching, name=random.choice(Activity))

Tried for loops but I couldn't figure it out lol.

Still getting used to loops and stuff

If I don't reply back, assume I went to sleep lol. I'll figure this out myself inthemeantime

[sick birch]

You want your bots status to change periodically?

[dull knot]

Yes. That

[sick birch]

You probably want to set up a @tasks.loop

And then do what you’re already doing in there

There are a few examples in the docs page for it

[dull knot]

This one?

@tasks.loop()
async def status_task() -> None:
await bot.change_presence(status=STATUS-HERE, activity=ACTIVITY-HERE)
await asyncio.sleep(TIME)

Found it on stack overflow lol

[dull knot]

Can u send the link?

[sick birch]

This is bad lol

Just pass in the loop interval to the decorator

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

class discord.ext.tasks.Loop```
A background task helper that abstracts the loop and reconnection logic for you.

The main interface to create this is through [`loop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop "discord.ext.tasks.loop").

[dull knot]

Noted. I'll try this out. Thanks!

[dark pine]

thats the error @ robin

[dark pine]

i just invited the bot again, i had to change couple things in the settings

[dull knot]

Btw, it said tasks is not defined?

[maiden fable]

This is what happens when unexperienced people try to earn upvotes on stack

[dull knot]

lol

Haven't really tried it. Since it didn't work kek

[radiant parrot]

any reason this command isnt work? @client.command @commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True) async def warn(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason="Not Specified"): if member == ctx.author: await ctx.send("You cannot warn urself!") else: em = discord.Embed(title="**WARNED**", description=f"{member} was warned because: {reason}", color=discord.Color.red()) em2 = discord.Embed(title="**WARNED**", description=f"You have been warned because: {reason}", color=discord.Color.red()) await member.send(embed=em2) await ctx.send(embed=em)

[dark pine]

after 25 hrs of coding kekw

lol

[sick birch]

What’s the error say?

[radiant parrot]

no error

[dark pine]

same thing

[radiant parrot]

just dnt work

[dark pine]

i cant get it it

i have read my code for like 15 times

i dont even get any errors

await it lol

[radiant parrot]

how to fix my issue

[dark pine]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/yenohakege

[dark pine]

thats my code, i have returns and await on most of them

[maiden fable]

line number 38, 54 and 59

[dark pine]

thats another doc on my project

[dark pine]

yeah i fixed it but still the same

thats the log now

the code; https://paste.pythondiscord.com/bazisafosa

im really confused

[sick birch]

@dark pine I'm still not sure what the issue is

[dark pine]

im tired of this, its really difficult even tho i have done other codes with many backtracking n stuff

but this one seems really simple to add,remove, and balance commands but its really complicated

[dark pine]

like

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/yebecazaki

does anything seems wrong on my points commands?

the issue is that im still scrolling inbetween the functions

i dont see anything wrong, in addition to that i got no errors, not sure whats wrong with it sadly its my first day into discord bots 😦

[slate swan]

how can I send an embed if an error occurred? d.py 2.0 and slash command

tried it like this:

        embed = discord.Embed(colour=728634, title="Error!") 
        embed.add_field(name="Verfügbare Stores", value='')
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)```

[drifting arrow]

So in my cog I have a function thats suppose to loop but i only want to start it once my interaction completes.
The interaction is a nested class inside of the cog.. i keep getting an error saying "self" was not included...

How can I start the loop?

[dry kelp]

@sick birch any other thing for payment?

not stripe?

i tried using patreon but they're bot its just offline

so it won't be able to give roles to users

[drifting arrow]

Stripe, paypal, patreon, gofundme, kickstarter? idk what type u need or why, but heres a few

then there's american/international like venmo?

i think it's venmo

[dark pine]

gnomeslayer

any thoughts abt my bot?

[dry kelp]

stripe requires bank IBAN

[drifting arrow]

errorchannel = await interaction.guild.get_channel(channel id)
#embed stuff here
await errorchannel.send(embed=embed)
await interaction.response.send_message("There was an error. check the error channel", ephemeral=True)

[dark pine]

.

[dry kelp]

and im still a minor.

patreon bot its not online

[dark pine]

. no errors

[dark pine]

but doesnt run well

[drifting arrow]

Any tracebacks?

or is it just slow?

[dark pine]

it doesnt reply as i coded it

doesnt respond to any command

my points code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/yebecazaki

main: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/yenohakege

[drifting arrow]

coz .add and .remove arent commands.

[dark pine]

my prefix is . and remove + add are commands

[drifting arrow]

using @commands.command, the function name acts as the command in discord.
so in this case: .points would be a command.

[drifting arrow]

You need traceback

[drifting arrow]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        commandname = str(ctx.command)
        commandauthor = ctx.author
        channel = self.client.get_channel(self.config["error_channel"])
        tb = traceback.format_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__)
        commandrun = ""
        for i in tb:
            commandrun += f"{i}"
        with open("error_log.txt", "w") as f:
            f.write(commandrun)
        with open("error_log.txt", "rb") as f:
            await channel.send(
                content=f"Command Name: {commandname}, Author: {commandauthor}",
                file=discord.File(f, filename="error_log.txt"),
            )

[dark pine]

where to add dat on

[drifting arrow]

anywhere.

it'll work for the whole bot. i made a new cog for it

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @drifting arrow!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[slate swan]

with except app_commands.errors: ?

[drifting arrow]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/awiboveqed

i think so?

if not, just use tb = traceback.format_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__) and for i in tb: print(i)

[dark pine]

what should the inp should be here?

[drifting arrow]

right click a channel in your discord -> copy id

[dark pine]

aha, then to paste it?

[drifting arrow]

yes

it takes an int, i usually use a config file to store all this

[dark pine]

ok it runs now, to try and type the commands in?

[drifting arrow]

sure

[dark pine]

yeah i was confused how you convert it to int

[drifting arrow]

you should get an error

i got a config file that looks like this

This config hasnt got the error handling

[dark pine]

no errors

[drifting arrow]

gimme a second

[dark pine]

no worries, i can share my screen on a code/help vc if its easier

sorry about the questions, its my first day

[drifting arrow]

wheres the code that sends "There was an error" lol

[dark pine]

into discord bots*

[drifting arrow]

oh

[dark pine]

hopefully i didnt make a big mistake XD

[drifting arrow]

why are the imports beneath the function..

[dark pine]

its the thing you have sent XD

[dark pine]

i removed the catch error one and im getting errors now

[drifting arrow]

see

there we go.

paste this into your cogs file.

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        commandname = str(ctx.command)
        commandauthor = ctx.author
        channel = self.client.get_channel(123)
        tb = traceback.format_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__)
        commandrun = ""
        for i in tb:
            commandrun += f"{i}"
        with open("error_log.txt", "w") as f:
            f.write(commandrun)
        with open("error_log.txt", "rb") as f:
            await channel.send(
                content=f"Command Name: {commandname}, Author: {commandauthor}",
                file=discord.File(f, filename="error_log.txt"),
            )

and remove any other on_command_error code

and make sure you import traceback import traceback

[slate swan]

its not an error logger so it should be send in the channel where the command was used or when the command was used in dms then there

[drifting arrow]

fix up the indents..

[drifting arrow]

Not necessarily.

if the error happens in a general chat with lots of chatter, do you really want the error to fly off into oblivion?

and it's useless being sent to a random user. why would they report it?

so send it to a discord channel

[dark pine]

so now to use the command?

[drifting arrow]

yes

[slate swan]

webhook will only be visible to the command user ofc

[drifting arrow]

We arent using webhooks?

[dark pine]

same thing as before

[drifting arrow]

but this time your error appeared in the target channel 🙂

Read the traceback and find out what you're doing wrong.

[dark pine]

wait, should i keep these at main?

[drifting arrow]

do you have a function called points or hel? or did you assign an alias to any function(command) called points or hel

[dark pine]

i got this file in cogs:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/jofoxesezu

its for all the points settings

[dark pine]

i got em in one class

[drifting arrow]

reading ur code now,

[dark pine]

oh sorry

[drifting arrow]

im confused as to what the category thing is anyway

[dark pine]

https://replit.com/@adamsbot/DiscordBot-1#main.py

the cogs might be more organized here

[dark pine]

XD

all i wanted to code is a bot with add, remove and balance commands

for imaginary points

[slate swan]

discord embed

[drifting arrow]

your main.py isnt actually loading the cogs..

[slate swan]

Hey!

I have a def that if it is true it does something, and the information is in a .json file, How would i def it in my main file?

  def botlogging(ctx):
    return str('whatever i need here' in settings ["botlogging"]

[dark pine]

0.0

how?

i've import em

[slate swan]

hello guys please help me with this erreur

[slate swan]

intents = discord.Intents().all()

if you want to edit a json file, it's:

with open('myjson.json', 'w') as f:
    f.write(json.dumps(myvariable, indent=4))
```is it dumps? or dump? i forget. I always reference my code.

I know one of them spits out error

[slate swan]

dump

what would i put under myvariable

[drifting arrow]

im still confused as to what you want.

[slate swan]

i want to def botlogging

[drifting arrow]

when working with a json file you first have to load it into a variable. then you do your editing to it, then you save it

[slate swan]

but in a .json file i have if it is true or false

[drifting arrow]

{
  "botlogging": true
}```

a json file is just a dictionary

[slate swan]

thats what i have

but i want to def botlogging in my main file

how would i get that info

like i have

def Staff(ctx):
    return str(ctx.author.id) in settings["staffId"]

[drifting arrow]

myfile = ''
with open('myjsonfile.json', 'r') as f:
    myfile = json.load(f)
if myfile['botlogging']:
  myfile['botlogging'] = False,
  with open('myjsonfile.json', 'w') as f:
      f.write(json.dumps(myfile, indent=4))

then send it to the main self so create a variable in the init, called self.myfile or whatever. idc. and load the json file there

then to reference it later, do self.myfile etc

and if you want to update it, self.myfile = ...

[slate swan]

thanks

[drifting arrow]

alright.

now that I've gotten those nerds out the way. can someone help me with my issue? 😄

[slate swan]

whats ya issue?

ill see if i can help

[drifting arrow]

probably a bit more complex than what you can handle but sure I'll shoot it.
I have a child class and I am trying to target the parent class and start a loops event xD

had to reply to someone.

[slate swan]

yep to complex, sorry

[drifting arrow]

🙂 figured.

It's all g

[slate swan]

forgot the @bot.command() fixed above

[slate swan]

how do i make my bot delete my command ?

[naive briar]

?

[slate swan]

when i send command like !image he send command and he delete my message of command

im not good at english

[torn sail]

await ctx.message.delete()

[naive briar]

Uh, try putting this on top of the command

await ctx.message.delete()

[slate swan]

alright thx

[rare echo]

i like that you refer to the bot as “he”

[sick birch]

English may not be their first language. Plenty of languages, like French, assign genders to most of their words

[slate swan]

XD

[rare echo]

oh nah i do the same thing

it was just funny to see in context

[muted mountain]

How do I change this info

[naive briar]

The server's description?

[muted mountain]

Yes

Literally not in any settings

[naive briar]

!d discord.Guild.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.edit

await edit(*, reason=..., name=..., description=..., icon=..., banner=..., splash=..., discovery_splash=..., community=..., afk_channel=..., owner=..., afk_timeout=..., ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the guild.

You must have the [`manage_guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_guild "discord.Permissions.manage_guild") permission to edit the guild.

Changed in version 1.4: The `rules_channel` and `public_updates_channel` keyword parameters were added.

Changed in version 2.0: The `discovery_splash` and community keyword parameters were added.

Changed in version 2.0: The newly updated guild is returned...

[naive briar]

Hm? 🤔

[cobalt relic]

I am trying to get the status of a user to see if that user is online (my other bot), however that status it returns is a class type. How can I convert the class to a string to show the value in my if statement. Any ideas?

@tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
async def printer():
    ## DEFINES USERS // CHANNELS
    guild = StatusBot.get_guild(1014394890748178432)
    channel = StatusBot.get_channel(1017200174914879609)
    DaveModPremium = guild.get_member(1013496497603625011)
    DaveMod = guild.get_member(998302501356974220)

    print(type(DaveMod.status))
    print(type(DaveModPremium.status))
    print(channel)

    ##SENDS ALERT IF BOT IS DETECTED OFFLINE

    if DaveModPremium.status or DaveMod.status != 'online':
        print(DaveModPremium.status)
        await channel.send(f'{DaveModPremium.mention} is Offline!')
        print('DaveModPremium Is OFFLINE!')```

[naive briar]

You can use str() for that

@tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
async def printer():
    ## DEFINES USERS // CHANNELS
    guild = StatusBot.get_guild(1014394890748178432)
    channel = StatusBot.get_channel(1017200174914879609)
    DaveModPremium = guild.get_member(1013496497603625011)
    DaveMod = guild.get_member(998302501356974220)

    print(type(DaveMod.status))
    print(type(DaveModPremium.status))
    print(channel)

    ##SENDS ALERT IF BOT IS DETECTED OFFLINE

    if str(DaveModPremium.status) or str(DaveMod.status) != 'online':
        print(DaveModPremium.status)
        await channel.send(f'{DaveModPremium.mention} is Offline!')
        print('DaveModPremium Is OFFLINE!')```
Or you can also use `isinstance()`

It's up to you

[cobalt relic]

ive tried str() but it does not seem to return the expected results. I will try out the isinstance() method as you mentioned though

and str() returns <class 'discord.enums._EnumValue_Status'>

[naive briar]

Hmmmm

[slate swan]

help please

[cobalt relic]

i think that is my own issue, one moment

[naive briar]

Maybe you could try something like

DaveMod.status != discord.Status.online

If isinstance don't work

[cobalt relic]

ah that would work well

[naive briar]

Can you show the code

[cobalt relic]

ive give it a go, thanks

Hey @slate swan! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

ah thanks, i searched for a while but couldnt find anything. huge help!

[slate swan]

so ?

[naive briar]

Well, it looks like the error is saying that

await ctx.send(...)

line isn't in the same indent as the

await ctx.message.delete()

[cobalt relic]

hm even with this is still isnt working.. I dont understand why but it does not seem to think that user.status is the same type as discord.status (as it always shows offline in the if statement, but the actual status from user.status shows online)

[naive briar]

Can you show the code that check the status again?

[cobalt relic]

if DaveMod.status or DaveModPremium.status != discord.Status.online:
    print(DaveModPremium.status)
    #await channel.send(f'{DaveModPremium.mention} is Offline!')
    print('DaveModPremium Is OFFLINE!')```

[slate swan]

ty

[cobalt relic]

indent is wrong because of discord

[naive briar]

Why do you have to check if DaveMod.status exist?

!or

[unkempt canyon]

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

# Incorrect...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

[cobalt relic]

im not, im checking the status (it is my other discord bot, i am making a separate bot to detect when the bot goes offline.)

[cobalt relic]

ahhhh

i seee

I had a good feeling thats where it went wrong

thank you for that, ill give it another go

[heady citrus]

say if i forked discord.py & used that fork instead of the official one.. What are the cons if there are any

[fickle hamlet]

You will have to maintain your fork if you want to keep using it instead of discord.py

[primal token]

By customizing your installation or forking the library, uppon updating its state would probably be erased so your edits would be erased, over overwriting methods in your code and only have future compatibility issues

But since dpy almost never edits its old codebase the compatibility issues would be rare, but as i++ has said, your custom installation wouldnt be up to date or compatible for future projects with other original installations depending on the implementation of future endpoints so you would need to continue to maintain it

[tawdry laurel]

does anyone know how to get context menu in a cog discord 2.0?

[sick birch]

Sure. I recently made a PR regarding just that

[jagged adder]

how do i delete a msg when someone reacts to a msg sent by my bot? ive worked out how to add the emoji, now i want to delete the msg if someone reacts with that emoji

i think its related to on_raw_reaction_add() but im not having much luck through google

[paper sluice]

use Bot.wait_for and wait for that event, and then you can delete the message

[jagged adder]

so id set it up as a bot.event?

else where would i be putting the wait_for

[paper sluice]

oh wait, which message do you want to delete when someone reacts?

[jagged adder]

so if i ctx.send("apple") and add an apple emoji to it, i want the "apple" msg to be deleted

if someone reacts to that msg with an apple emoji

[paper sluice]

ok, so in that command itself you just do bot.wait_for('on_reaction_add', check=<your check function>)
and in the check function, you check if the message they reacted to is the one sent by the bot basically

and you can check for emojis as well

[jagged adder]

so... id need to write it as a new command?

or put it under the one that made the msg

[paper sluice]

just under that

[jagged adder]

ah

[paper sluice]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for
there is an example here

[jagged adder]

so itd be like

async def fruit(ctx):
  apple = "apple"
  ctx.send(apple)
  # add emoji stuff

  bot.wait_for(on_reaction_add, check=check)
  if ... == True
  ctx.message.delete()

?

[paper sluice]

you want to delete the apple message right

[jagged adder]

yes

[paper sluice]

so store it in a variable and delete that, ctx.message is the message which was used to call the command like !fruit

[jagged adder]

ah

[paper sluice]

and .delete() is a coro, so await it

[jagged adder]

not sure i follow u there

the ctx.message part i get

[paper sluice]

just like this

msg = await ctx.send(...)
...
await msg.delete()

[jagged adder]

ah

[slate swan]

async def fruit(ctx):
  apple = "apple"
  message = await ctx.send(apple)
  # add emoji stuff

  bot.wait_for(on_reaction_add, check=check)
  if ... == True
  await message.delete()```

[jagged adder]

yeah i got this rn

msg = await ctx.send(f"...")
    await msg.add_reaction('⚔️')

so i alrdy got a variable that refers to it right

[slate swan]

yep

just make sure the bot has permissions to add reactions or you might run in errors

[jagged adder]

so i just need the latter part

yeah i know the adding works as i alrdy tested that

[jagged adder]

do i need on_reaction_add in a str?

[slate swan]

yeah

[jagged adder]

why ?

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[paper sluice]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for:~:text=the requirements.-,Examples,-Waiting for a
check these examples out

[jagged adder]

if this wait_for never times out, does that mean that if i spawn a ton of these msgs that ill clog up my system?

if i dont set a timeout

[slate swan]

well you will probably get a temp ban from the Discord Api before that happens hehe

[jagged adder]

and also, i presume that when i restart the bot to update something, the emoji-delete wont work either right

[naive briar]

Yeah

[jagged adder]

seeing as its within a func

thought so

maybe i could set it to auto-delete after it times out

[slate swan]

Can someone guide me to some resource where i can get help with the API rate limit i am running into frequent bans so was looking for ways to get the bot operations in limits

[jagged adder]

yeah i was looking there b4
