[jagged adder]

do emoji/reactions count as a message?

[paper sluice]

no, its a reaction object, you can get the message using reaction.message

[jagged adder]

so in my check id want

if msg.author == bot.user

and how do i check for the emoji author

to make sure its not the bot

[paper sluice]

no, because assuming you did msg = await ctx.send(...) is going to be always true its kinda useless

you can check reaction.author

and to make sure its not a bot, you can do reaction.author.bot, it returns True if it is, else False

[jagged adder]

how come it says reaction isnt a valid term

unresolved reference

[paper sluice]

code?

[jagged adder]

def del_check():
        if reaction.author == bot.user

im prob overlooking somethin so simple

[paper sluice]

you didn't take reaction and use in the function parameter

[jagged adder]

oh mb

so reaction is a valid term in itself?

if i parse it as a parameter

[paper sluice]

what do you mean by valid term?
its just a normal variable

[jagged adder]

well currently its deleting the msg when the bot reacts

i wonder if im oversimplifying a step

ok i got this

    async def del_check(reaction):
        if not reaction.author == bot.user:
            await msg.delete()

    await bot.wait_for('on_reaction_add', check=del_check)

what am i overlooking

[naive briar]

Uh

[paper sluice]

well, thats what you told it to do...

[jagged adder]

:l

[gilded gust]

Hey, I'm working on a bot in py-cord and have some code in the following format:

class MyView(View):
  def __init__(self, user):
    self.user = user

  @MySelect(a)
  async def callback(self, select, interaction):
    ...

class MySelect(Select):
  def __init__(self, page_count):
    super().__init__(options=[...])

The issue is on line 5, @MySelect(a). a is a variable which I can get from the user attribute that I assigned earlier, but I need self for that and can't get self outside a function.
How can get the data from user and use it in the decorator?

TL;DR: Need to access an instance attribute in a decorator inside the same class.

[jagged adder]

this doesnt delete anything tho

[naive briar]

It'll be weird if it did

[gilded gust]

try reaction.message.delete()

[naive briar]

you can try something simple like

def check(reaction, user):
    return not user.bot

reaction, user await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check=check)
await msg.delete()

[paper sluice]

you probably added the reaction before the wait for

[paper sluice]

you can't do it with decorators, although you can do this

self.user = user
self.callback = MySelect(user.a)(self.callback)

[jagged adder]

i added the bots reaction first yeah

[paper sluice]

so its not going to work...

[jagged adder]

what

[paper sluice]

why are you deleting the message when the bot reacts

[jagged adder]

im not, im tryin to delete it when anyone else reacts

just somehow i managed to make it so the bot deleted it b4

isnt anymore

[paper sluice]

well, you are not, you are doing reaction.author == bot.user

== checks if left and right are the same

[shrewd apex]

u can just do != then delete

[jagged adder]

i got

    def del_check(reaction):
        if reaction.author is not bot.user and reaction == '⚔️':
            msg.delete()


    await bot.wait_for('on_reaction_add', check=del_check)

[paper sluice]

don't use is not

[shrewd apex]

it think it was reaction_add

[paper sluice]

on works as well

[paper sluice]

and you need to await delete()

[shrewd apex]

it looks for the dispatched event i think

so on should also work ig

[jagged adder]

fixed

[jagged adder]

wdym?

[shrewd apex]

wait_for looks for bot dispatched event for reaction its reaction_add

on_reaction_add should work also

[jagged adder]

so u mean i need to put reaction_add as a para instead of just reaction ?

hang on i got somethin mixed up there

[shrewd apex]

its fine u can run it no change needed

[jagged adder]

ok so where is this wrong

    async def del_check(reaction):
        if not reaction.author == bot.user and reaction == '⚔️':
            await msg.delete()


    await bot.wait_for('on_reaction_add', check=del_check)

[paper sluice]

thats the same as doing not (reaction.author == bot.user and reaction == ':crossed_swords:')
just use != and remove the not

[jagged adder]

still missing something

[naive briar]

Use len to count the guild members

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    if len(guild.members) < 20:
      await guild.leave()

[paper sluice]

rip

[naive briar]

Also, you don't have to use bot.get_guild

[jagged adder]

if i put a print under the check, shouldnt it print something if its called?

coz its not

i wonder if the issue is in the wait_for part of it

[paper sluice]

well, look at the code above it and apply some logic

at this point, you are just asking us to write it for you

[jagged adder]

im doing plenty of my own fiddling

[brazen raft]

You can compare IDs if that does anything

[vocal snow]

Checks can't be async

And event is "reaction_add" not on_reaction_add

[jagged adder]

i changed that prior to having to go do something else; now it just crashes instead of simply not working lol

at least it’s something smh

[jagged adder]

where do i put the delete part then

[vocal snow]

You can use asyncio.create_task or have wait_for in a loop and break on a favorable condition

Where are you using this wait_for, in a command?

[jagged adder]

to delete a message when u add a specific reaction to it

ive sent a msg, added an emoji, now i want to delete said message when someone reacts to it with that same emoji

[vocal snow]

Specific reaction on a specific message or any message?

[jagged adder]

this

[vocal snow]

That isn't checking on a specific message so i was curious

If it's not for a specific message you could just use an event

[jagged adder]

i also want a timeout feature that clears x msg after say 5 mins if someone doesn’t close it before that

sec

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

    async def del_check(reaction):
        if reaction.author != bot.user and reaction == '⚔️':
            await msg.delete()

thats what i got rn

[vocal snow]

You'll also need to check if the message being reacted to is the same as the one you reacted to

But yeah checks can't be async, easy solution would be to use asyncio.create_task

[jagged adder]

idek how that one works

[vocal snow]

You pass a coro and it schedules it to run

!d asyncio.create_task

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_task

asyncio.create_task(coro, *, name=None)```
Wrap the *coro* [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine) into a [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task "asyncio.Task") and schedule its execution. Return the Task object.

If *name* is not `None`, it is set as the name of the task using [`Task.set_name()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.set_name "asyncio.Task.set_name").

The task is executed in the loop returned by [`get_running_loop()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.get_running_loop "asyncio.get_running_loop"), [`RuntimeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#RuntimeError "RuntimeError") is raised if there is no running loop in current thread.

[jagged adder]

so where would this fit into what i got rn..?

[vocal snow]

Or if this is too alien, you could just call wait_for in a loop and break when you get the condition you want

[vocal snow]

You use it to execute message.delete() in the check

[jagged adder]

im not sure why its printing this in the callback

TypeError: del_check() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[vocal snow]

what arguments does on_reaction_add give

[jagged adder]

its just 'reaction_add' atm

im not quite sure

[vocal snow]

Check the docs

Whatever arguments it gives is what you need in your check

[jagged adder]

dam

[vocal snow]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[vocal snow]

There's a search bar on the site

[jagged adder]

reaction and user

[vocal snow]

I see, so your check needs to have both those parameters

[jagged adder]

well now my traceback is

AttributeError: 'Reaction' object has no attribute 'author'

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Reaction.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.message

Message this reaction is for.

[vocal snow]

You'll want to use this, and then .author

Or if you want the person who reacted

Then you use the user argument

[jagged adder]

it doesnt like that

[vocal snow]

Wdym

[jagged adder]

AttributeError: 'member_descriptor' object has no attribute 'author'

[vocal snow]

I'm guessing you literally did discord.Reaction.message.author

Anyways, you can learn oop later

You need to check that user.bot is False, str(reaction.emoji) == "..." and reaction.message.id == msg.id

[jagged adder]

user.bot means any bot ?

[vocal snow]

Yes

[jagged adder]

dang

[dark pine]

good morning

i still need help with my bot

[jagged adder]

3 hrs of troubleshooting, googling and conversing, came down to 3 lines

[dark pine]

im at 27hrs so far, and the bot isnt doing its job haha

[jagged adder]

i know that feeling...

[dark pine]

yesterday i have read my code for like 16 times and im still on it, someone helped me to change my main from over 230 line to like 24 lines, and the bot isnt working

[jagged adder]

sheesh, thats some workover

[dark pine]

the issue too that im not that good coding discord bot, it was my literal 27 hrs lol

i just started of a youtube tutorial

but like, i had a python class last Sem

where was the link i can copy the code to?

[dull knot]

Sheesh, help. Can't quite make this to work:

@bot.listen
async def on_ready():
    Message = await bot.fetch_guild(943462265317912576).get_channel(960392445135290408)
    Shuma = await bot.get_or_fetch_user(user_id="786978127816818698")
    await Shuma.send("Bot Online!")
    await Message.send("Bot Online!")

I'm trying to make the bot send a DM to me or Send a MSG to a channel after it becomes Online but it just doesn't work. No errors in the terminal though. All my cmds also work fine.

[naive briar]

Why are you using bot.listen?

[dull knot]

It's listening for the bot to become online?

[naive briar]

Use bot.event instead

[dull knot]

Don't they work the same?

[naive briar]

Yeah

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.10)").

Example...

[vocal snow]

bot.listen()

[dull knot]

I mean, the problem I'm facing here is that the bot won't send me a DM, nor does it send the Msg in the guild's specified channel

[dull knot]

Lemme try

Nope.

Does't send it in my DMs

[vocal snow]

Also you're awaiting get_channel not fetch _guild

And why does your get or fetch take a str

[naive briar]

Put your ID as int in user_id

[dull knot]

Actually, I didn't implement the channel thing yet lol. For now, I'm just trying to make the bot DM me. My code's like this

@bot.listen()
async def on_ready():
    Shuma = bot.get_or_fetch_user(user_id="786978127816818698")
    await Shuma.send("Bot Online!")

[dull knot]

Oh, wait. lemme try

Nah, still doesn't work.

[vocal snow]

How is get_or_fetch_user defined

[naive briar]

Try using bot.get_user

@bot.listen()
async def on_ready():
    Shuma = bot.get_user(786978127816818698)
    await Shuma.send("Bot Online!")

[dull knot]

Works now. Thanks! I just awaited the variable

[vocal snow]

Do you have an on_error event

Why is your error handling so broken

[dull knot]

local error handlers yes.

[naive briar]

Uhhhh

[vocal snow]

Need to edit the message with the new view

[vocal snow]

Hmm but i don't think command error handlers will matter, only on_error

[dark pine]

points file: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/cewupuceli

main file: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/juqefekore

[naive briar]

Uhhhhhhhh

[naive briar]

Why do you have 2 setup functions?

[dull knot]

I think it didn't show any errors on my code because I commented it out Kek

I was working on getting the bot to DM first before the channel

[dull knot]

What cmd should I start with if I want to get started with learning databases and storing data? Or is it not recommended if I don't fully understand around 40% of Python Basics yet?

Gotchu, so I guess, for now, OOP & Async + familiarizing basics. Alright, will probably read about them later. Thanks for the feedback! ✔️

[maiden fable]

Do u think Danny uploaded a mirror package, named discord so that none can upload a malicious with that name?

[heady citrus]

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction) -> bool:
        if interaction.user.id != interaction.author.id:
            await intraction.response.send_message("You cant use dis kid", ephemeral=True)
            return
        else:
            return

any help? I dont want my buttons working for anyone other than the one who started the command

@naive briar

[maiden fable]

Nice

[heady citrus]

anyone @slate swan

Lol

[maiden fable]

Dude, stop pinging randoms

[heady citrus]

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

This should be working. What's not working?

Just add something in the else block

[heady citrus]

interaction.author

I need the author@of the embed

[maiden fable]

What embed

Tbh, @vocal snow is more experienced and will be more than happy to help you (:

[vocal snow]

[slate swan]

interaction.author is not a thing. it's interaction.user

[heady citrus]

why would i compare interaction.user to interaction.user though

[slate swan]

exactly the point, why would you compare the user who invoked the interaction with its author, its literally the same thing

[heady citrus]

No

u not getting it@Lol

[naive briar]

Uh

[slate swan]

yes sure. imagine not understanding the diffence between command author and an interaction'a author.

[heady citrus]

basically i want to get the id of the person who clicked on the button.. Then the one who started the command & compare them

if they not the same return

[naive briar]

You have to store the ID of the user in the view

[heady citrus]

since u can’t understand Lol

[slate swan]

why do you think the command author's data will be stored in the interaction?

[vocal snow]

R u using pychord

[slate swan]

you need to set that up yourself

[shrewd apex]

pass the interaction or ctx depending on the command to the view which u subclassed

[vocal snow]

I think u shld use pychord

[slate swan]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62660011/im-trying-to-create-a-discord-py-giveaway-command

I wanted to add a giveaway command for my bot

but I've got an error

AttributeError: 'async_generator' object has no attribute 'flatten'

I searched this error on API reference, but I couldn't fix this error

[fading sleet]

I use this code

users = await new_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten() this is the error section

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Reaction.users

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.users

async for ... in users(*, limit=None, after=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") representing the users that have reacted to the message.

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

Changed in version 2.0: `limit` and `after` parameters are now keyword-only.

Examples

Usage...

[vocal snow]

There are examples there

[shrewd apex]

its now an async iterator object

u have ti iterate using async for

[primal token]

I wouldnt really call it an "async iterator object" as it may cause confusion as an "async iterator object" doesnt exactly exist, over something like a genexpr that would return an object named generator, but async iterator is a bit more clearer, i would say, as you would be referring to an object that implements __aiter__() and __anext__() that would return an awaitable object. I'm not saying you're wrong but you're not exactly correct either.

[shrewd apex]

bro did u type all that just to say my explanation wasn't complicated enough 💀

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[vocal snow]

okimi moment

https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator doc calls it an async iterator object tho

[shrewd apex]

its clearer and more understandable to explain it as async iterator

[ivory cave]

is there a way for me to make a thread with discord.py ?

or i must use the threading lib

[vocal snow]

what for?

i mean, what do you need to thread

[ivory cave]

well long explanation but, im trying to get the bot to createchannels while simultaneously sending things in the channels

[vocal snow]

that's why asyncio is there, for concurrency

although if you're attempting to make a spam bot, it isn't going to work

[ivory cave]

if im making a spam bot i assume there is threading needed?

with the threading lib

the problem here is i cant make it make channels and simultaneously spam things in those channels while making them with one command

[vocal snow]

we don't help with spam bots here

[ivory cave]

ah, no im not making the bot so i can harm discord servers or anything like that

me and my friends use the bot for shits and giggles in our server although i understand your reason so

👍

[primal token]

Where?

[vocal snow]

"asynchronous iterator... An object"

[primal token]

Its more of a term as shown in the link, "async iterator" would be a term used for any object that implements the given methods in the documentation

[vocal snow]

exactly

async iterator object 👍

[primal token]

ok

[vocal snow]

[errant night]

bruh is there way to extract a specific pokemon sprite from this png using python?

[rugged shadow]

do you have a library that you're using?

[errant night]

nope

[rugged shadow]

like, you just want to extract them into their own separate files

[errant night]

yep

[rugged shadow]

you could use something like Pillow

[errant night]

o

[rugged shadow]

then slice the image up into some size

[errant night]

ic

[rugged shadow]

idk if they are 32x32

or whatever

[errant night]

alr i will do it rn thank you

[rugged shadow]

np

[shrewd apex]

!pypi image-slicer

[unkempt canyon]

image-slicer v2.1.1

Split images into tiles. Join the tiles back together.

[shrewd apex]

nice making some pokemon game?

[errant night]

💀 i was trying to make a pokemon bot

[shrewd apex]

was?

[errant night]

there are like a thousand pokemon bots already

[shrewd apex]

oh ok

[errant night]

still i will make a pokemon-based bot 💀 anyways have a good day

[shrewd apex]

gl have fun u never know u might make something new innovate 😉

[errant night]

😳 ty

[boreal ravine]

Anyone know why it isn't printing 2?

[shrewd apex]

do u want all the records?

[boreal ravine]

Yes

[shrewd apex]

u can just leave lenght none as default for that

[boreal ravine]

to_list?

[shrewd apex]

u can ask me if u are stuck anywhere 👍 I like pokemon too 😉

[shrewd apex]

yes in to_list

u are using motor right?

[errant night]

aight

[boreal ravine]

yeah

[shrewd apex]

yeah so u can do await bot.db.find({}).to_list(length=None)

[spiral fern]

guys i'm new at dpy2.0 so idk if much has changed but whenever I try using bot.user.avatar.url, it outputs as "NoneType object has no attribute 'url'"

what am I doing wrong?

[sick thorn]

hey guys , i want to make a discord bot. i have list of quotes. i want the bot to send it every morning 8:30 am on one of the server channel. how can i do this? im complete noob in making discord bot but i know python

[vocal snow]

does the bot have a custom avatar?

[spiral fern]

no I'm pretty sure it's a default avatar

the one discord gives you if you don't have any

[vocal snow]

then you should use the display_avatar attribute instead of avatar

!d discord.User.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.display\_avatar

property display_avatar```
Returns the user’s display avatar.

For regular users this is just their default avatar or uploaded avatar.

New in version 2.0.

[vocal snow]

the bot died?

[spiral fern]

thanks, I'm new to dpy2 so I don't know if something has changed

I think I've heard something changed in the way you use bot.run or bot.login

[vocal snow]

nvm my internet is slow af

[spiral fern]

something that has to do with async maybe

but I can't seem to find it anymore so idk

[shrewd apex]

check the migrations

dpy has them listed

[spiral fern]

what if I use run like a normal person?

instead of trying to async everything?

[shrewd apex]

i think he needs to change cog loading

[spiral fern]

i'm not using cogs rn

[shrewd apex]

use run

[spiral fern]

but yeah it did mess up my cogs with other projects

and it's something I haven't fixed yet

[shrewd apex]

if u use start u will have to setup ur own logger

[spiral fern]

okok

[shrewd apex]

not necessary tho

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.setup\_logging

discord.utils.setup_logging(*, handler=..., formatter=..., level=..., root=True)```
A helper function to setup logging.

This is superficially similar to [`logging.basicConfig()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.basicConfig "(in Python v3.10)") but uses different defaults and a colour formatter if the stream can display colour.

This is used by the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") to set up logging if `log_handler` is not `None`.

New in version 2.0.

[shrewd apex]

there is a more detailed example in dpy github examples 🗿

[slate swan]

why a context manager to just run the bot?

[pulsar thistle]

guys i dunno whats wrong here it used to work, but maybe you could help?

'dict' object has no attribute 'Cog'

[slate swan]

await instance.start() directly is totally usable

[primal token]

You should only use it when running other processes in the same file so it closes which most people just kill the process

[slate swan]

still not needed

[primal token]

I still dont like the context managers usage with bots tbh

[rugged shadow]

what does a ctx manager even do to a bot

no, like what does those functions do in the commands.Bot impl

[boreal ravine]

https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/6706e1c8f23ac27c98cee4dd985c8120

[primal token]

If were talking about what happens when __aenter__ and __aexit__ get called, well, When the context manager opens it opens a websocket connection with the gateway and when closing the lib checks if the bot is in a voice channel it disconnects the bot from the voice channel and then it disconnects from the gateway

[rugged shadow]

oh nice

ty

also why is there a slowmode here now 😔

[primal token]

Iirc it's dynamic and gets set by @unkempt canyon by the activity or amount of users in the channel or past history with discussions in a certain time frame

[dark pine]

How to you guys setup your json file to be updated?

I have a bot with virtual points, and i want to make sure every member starts with 0 points.
I dont want to make it manually by adding a new command

Is it possible?

[ionic edge]

how can i get options in hybrid commands

[boreal ravine]

Anyone know why?

[slate swan]

How do I make the bot change only one permission in a text channel and not affect the others permissions?

[naive briar]

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.set\_permissions

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

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The `target` parameter should either be a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that belongs to guild.

The `overwrite` parameter, if given, must either be `None` or [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite"). For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the `overwrite` parameter.

If the `overwrite` parameter is `None`, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

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

[radiant parrot]

how to send in specific channel after button pressed?

getting this error

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'```

[naive briar]

How do you define channel2?

[radiant parrot]

channel2 = client.get_channel(channel_sent_in)

[naive briar]

Then the channel was not found

[radiant parrot]

But it works for other function

Im confused why it wldnt work

[naive briar]

Can you show the code of the command?

[radiant parrot]

Ofc 🙂

shld i change to fetch then?

Let me try that now 🙂

In channel_id: Value "staff-spam" is not snowflake.```

Got this error now

[slate swan]

you have to pass in an integer and staff-spam isnt an int

[radiant parrot]

like this? channel2 = client.get_channel(channel_sent_in) or await client.fetch_channel(int(channel_sent_in))

[slate swan]

depends if channel_sent_in can be converted to an integer

[radiant parrot]

channel_sent_in = message.channel

[naive briar]

I think you can just use channel_sent_in because it's already a channel

[slate swan]

message.channel.id straight away...

[radiant parrot]

let me send my whole code

as might have to change bits around

async def on_message(message):

[naive briar]

Why do you want to get the channel again?

[radiant parrot]

To see out of two channels , which one they sent in

[naive briar]

Like the message_channel and channel_sent_in?

[radiant parrot]

Yea so message_channel to monitor two channels and see if message sent in it

[naive briar]

message_channel is just the ID of channel_sent_in

[radiant parrot]

then channel_sent_in to say which out of the two was sent in

yea

[drifting arrow]

I want to put my bot in 2 discords and if an event happens, say "!ping" i want to my bot to send "pong" to both discords.
how would I achieve this?

[rugged shadow]

both discords in what channel?

[drifting arrow]

Say channel.id(1) or discord A and channel.id(2) in discord B

[rugged shadow]

you could iterate through bot.guilds, filter out other discords, send message to other channel

[radiant parrot]

how would i fix then? 🙂

[drifting arrow]

would "bot.guild.get_channel(123)" work even if bot is in 2 different guilds?

[rugged shadow]

no

[drifting arrow]

would I first have to get the guild?

[naive briar]

Ah, well

[rugged shadow]

yes

[naive briar]

Just replace

channel2 = client.get_channel(channel_sent_in) or await client.fetch_channel(int(channel_sent_in))
await channel2.send(embed=embed_approve)

with

await channel_sent_in.send(embed=embed_approve)

And I think you're fine

[slate swan]

doesn't work for what I want (or I did wrong)

i just want to change one permission and it changes all

by "changes all" I mean like this:

I wanted to keep the permissions that the member had already set and just change the permission of send_messages, for example

[naive briar]

I think you can do something like

og_perms = channel.overwrites_for(member)
og_perms.update(send_messages = False)

await channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=og_perms) 

[radiant parrot]

it works! thank you v much

[naive briar]

Basically, you just edit the send_messages permission of the member and apply it without editing the other permissions

[radiant parrot]

one more question, how would i go about warning the player if i press the disapprove button?

got this so far but dnt work

async def warn(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason="Not Specified"):
    channel = client.get_channel(1013425592898703470)

        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Disapproved and warned user')

nextcord.ext for commands

[livid jacinth]

Hey, does somebody know how to create slash commands?

[slate swan]

which library?

[livid jacinth]

I dont know what lib i have to use

And whats the best lib for that

[silk fulcrum]

any actually

[slate swan]

it's personal preference, have you created any bot before this one?

[silk fulcrum]

except pycord

[slate swan]

💀

[silk fulcrum]

dont use pycord

[slate swan]

py-cord 🫂

[livid jacinth]

Yes

[slate swan]

and which library did you use

[livid jacinth]

Discord.ext

And Discord

[silk fulcrum]

thats discord.py

lol

[slate swan]

you can create slash commands with discord.py too

see the second message in the channel's pins

[livid jacinth]

Ah okay

[slate swan]

I would prefer hikari and hikari-lightbulb but that's comparatively harder to work with, discord.py is ok too

[silk fulcrum]

maybe i should try it hikari...

it just even sounds bad for me

[livid jacinth]

Im currently not at home

[slate swan]

nice

[slate swan]

hikari yes

[livid jacinth]

I have to read it later

[silk fulcrum]

when i have time...

[slate swan]

try creating slash commands with hikari alone, you'll have fun getting a headache

[slate swan]

right, it's the best guide I have. Can't give anything more than that

not like the best as in universally the best 💀

autocorrect

[silk fulcrum]

lol

[silk fulcrum]

it's a slash command, and you are executing it as -apply

[errant coral]

i tryed both

[silk fulcrum]

and what happens if you execute a slash command?

[errant coral]

nothing just wait 2 sec need to try something

@bot.slash_command(description="Test!", guild_ids=[989497807595507752])

that was the problem

im blind

why is this not warning a user when dissaprove button pressed?

[silk fulcrum]

buttons callbacks should be set before adding the buttons to the view, and you are doing that after everything is done and the message is sent

and don't forget that if you are moving the button.callback = ... up, then you should move your callback functions up too, so they won't be referenced before assigement

[radiant parrot]

yes i have done this 🙂

how would i now make it so when disapprove button clicked, it will execute the warn command

[silk fulcrum]

uhm, you really should not execute a command anywhere in your code...

[radiant parrot]

how would i go about, warning the user then?

[slate swan]

why

[silk fulcrum]

why yes?

and also i dont remember but some smart people said that

[broken nexus]

so ive got this discord.py bot on github, and i put it on heroku. it was written in 1.7.3 discord.py and i want to update it to 2.0, can i just update the requirements.txt file and change the code directly on github? will the changes be applied automatically on heroku?

[silk fulcrum]

i would exec the command somewhere myself tbh

[slate swan]

but why not, I'm asking the reason

though I don't prefer doing that myself

how to add nsfw cmds in bot??

[honest shoal]

by making them

[slate swan]

Hello guys i got question i wanna make my bot add user in ticket when i send his id or user automatique since im New in discord.py can u help me guys please

[honest shoal]

sure, what have you done till now

you just have to change channel's permissions

[slate swan]

uff keeds how to make i am asking

[honest shoal]

what is keeds? and what type of answer are you expecting
you said you want to add nsfw cmds then make them and add them

[primal token]

Its a quite subjective general question which depends on abstractions

[silk fulcrum]

depends on what you mean by "nsfw", because discord doesn't have any "nsfw commands" implemented, so if you want to check the age or warn the user you have to do it yourself

also you can make a command so it could only be executed in nsfw channel

[slate swan]

you probably mean the resources required by "how to make nsfw command"?
if yes, you're looking for some NSFW api, can google and find plenty of them

[silk fulcrum]

in discord.py there is commands.nsfw_only deco

[slate swan]

could u plz tell me a gud one?

[honest shoal]

every api is not authentic for nsfw ones

[primal token]

?

[slate swan]

no idea, just Google it

[slate swan]

wdym, there are plenty of NSFW only APIs, use them?

[honest shoal]

it reminds me of an update by dank memer

[slate swan]

,

[honest shoal]

wait a min lemme find it

[rare echo]

we have very different nsfw meanings

[slate swan]

we do

[slate swan]

accidents happen with everything online, even discord API messes up often

I just realized I wasn't supposed to post that too

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

I wanna make bot when i send user name and tag he add him automatique in ticket

I dont know how do i make bot do it

$add command

[silk fulcrum]

you are importing from bot.py, you should just use import constants

same dir import

[slate swan]

Example :

When i send user the bot add him in ticket

Roblox 😭

Bro is definitely scamming some little kids

[slate swan]

?

I dont even play roblox

I got paid for it

[slate swan]

You got paid before even coding

[silk fulcrum]

idk how that works

[slate swan]

Hi master

Question:
How can I turn an Emoji into a link? Somewhat like this (Image)
So far, I have this code:

    @commands.slash_command(name="e-magnify", description="Makes an emoji larger.")
    async def magnify_emoji(self, ctx, emoji:disnake.Emoji):
        EmojiEmbed = disnake.Embed(title="...",
                                   description="...",
                                   colour=disnake.Colour(0x2f3136))
        await ctx.send(embed=EmojiEmbed)

Or rather turning it into a link... How can I get the bot to get the link of the emoji?

If I can't reply today, I'll ask again tomorrow lol. Gotta do some assignments

[primal token]

!d discord.Emoji.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Emoji.url

property url```
Returns the URL of the emoji.

How do I get a Slash Command ID? I've tried bot.get_command(<String name>).id but HybridCommand has no attribute named id

And they got better deals if u need more RAM/CPU, so they charging soo much patrol is an overkill

Anyone know how to make a bot edit a message the bot sent

[sick birch]

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[sick birch]

You’ll notice this returns the sent message

[ruby anchor]

is it possible to do with a message.reply

[sick birch]

I believe that returns the sent message as well

A lot of discords CREATE endpoints will return the created resource

[radiant parrot]

async def send_warning(user, reason, channel):
    em = discord.Embed(title="**WARNED**", description=f"{user} was warned because: {reason}",

how to send first warning to channel?

as error is py await send_warning(message.author, f'Suggesting non-needed post for {channel_sent_in}') TypeError: send_warning() missing 1 required positional argument: 'channel'

[slate swan]

I mean, you're literally accepting a channel argument and not passing it while calling the function either

class User:
  name: str
  _id: int

async def send_warning(user: User, reason: str, channel):
  ...

#calling it using

how would i call it tho

Guys I want to give a role when something happened (not member joined). Which event should I use? I tried on_ready and on_connect but it did not work.

[slate swan]

Hey!

I have a leveling system but the level command is just erroring

Here is my code!

[honest shoal]

when something happens
What thing?

[primal token]

This whole code should be re-written, Its missing logic, good abstractions and code in general, a good actual database and non blocking tasks

[violet wigeon]

I mean like when your money reaches $1000 I want to give a role to you

Or like rank system. When you text 100+ messages I want to give a role to you

[honest shoal]

Umm what are the ways to earn money? If you can tell some then I may find any easy way to do that

[honest shoal]

That can be done using on_message event, you need to store number of messages somewhere

[violet wigeon]

Like you are starting with 100$ and you do some gambling and increase your money. When your money reaches 1000$ I want to give you a role for exp: "Rich".

[honest shoal]

Oh, I got it

Then you need to pass your event using dispatch

You take your python, feed it and then it goes(?) to learning courses. After it learns, it needs a brain implant so it can code, after that it will create a bot for you if it studied hard

there is a self parameter i have. When i delete it the bot's work but i need that self parameter
what can i do?

why does the code not see the ctx parameter

[cold sonnet]

could you show the rest of the code that is above this?

why are you using add_command?

[vocal snow]

you're supposed to load commands in cogs with bot.add_cog

[woeful yoke]

if I don't type that command, I get a command not found error this time

[woeful yoke]

def setup(bot):
bot.add_cog(Music(bot))

I already have

[cold sonnet]

did you use load_extension?

[vocal snow]

good, that will add the command,no need to do it manually

[woeful yoke]

No i didn't

where should I use it

[woeful yoke]

But it says command not found this time

[cold sonnet]

in your main file, bot.load_extension(filepath)

or with async if you're on 2.0

[ionic edge]

@client.command()

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[vocal snow]

just call this when you want to

you can get the member with guild.get_member if you have an id

[violet wigeon]

that is the point

[vocal snow]

what is the point

[violet wigeon]

there is no event which does meet my request

[vocal snow]

you haven't told us what the request is

[violet wigeon]

like reaching a point

[vocal snow]

you've only told us what it's not which doesn't narrow it down

[violet wigeon]

at 1000 point i wanna give a role

not me the bot

[vocal snow]

what is 1000 point

like dollars?

[open narwhal]

not related to discord.py itself but I wanted to use it for a bot.

Is there a dictionary like data structure that would let me access an entry using 2 different keys like for example:

datastructure = {
"key1", "100" --- maps to ----> {entry 1}
"key2", "105" --- maps to ----> {entry 2}
}

so when I do 
datastructure.get['key1'] or datastructure.get['100'] I would receive {entry 1}
datastructure.get['key2'] or datastructure.get['105'] = {entry 2}

and it can be assumed that there will never be conflicts with the keys

[violet wigeon]

i couldn't find anything about this

[vocal snow]

so what's your db schema

[violet wigeon]

there is a wallet, a bank and networth

[vocal snow]

ok but you're storing the member id right

[violet wigeon]

yes

[primal token]

You can use duplicate values with different keys or you can make a dataclass which is handy when parsing something like a hashmap and converting it into a python object

[vocal snow]

and the guild id

[open narwhal]

no idea what a dataclass is but ill look into it. Thanks for the help 😄 is there something similar to that in java or cpp ? I'm very new to python

[vocal snow]

so you're storing user_id but no information of the guild, how will you get the Member then

[primal token]

!d dataclasses.dataclass

[unkempt canyon]

dataclasses.dataclass

@dataclasses.dataclass(*, init=True, repr=True, eq=True, order=False, unsafe_hash=False, frozen=False, match_args=True, kw_only=False, slots=False)```
This function is a [decorator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-decorator) that is used to add generated [special method](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-special-method)s to classes, as described below.

The [`dataclass()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html#dataclasses.dataclass "dataclasses.dataclass") decorator examines the class to find `field`s. A `field` is defined as a class variable that has a [type annotation](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-variable-annotation). With two exceptions described below, nothing in [`dataclass()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html#dataclasses.dataclass "dataclasses.dataclass") examines the type specified in the variable annotation.

The order of the fields in all of the generated methods is the order in which they appear in the class definition.

[open narwhal]

ah

[violet wigeon]

in source code?

[vocal snow]

what

[primal token]

i'm not sure for Java or C++ as i'm not currently skilled enough

[open narwhal]

it's alright, thank you for all the help ❤️

[violet wigeon]

Doesn't user_id already give member information?

[vocal snow]

no, it gives user information

[violet wigeon]

every member has a userid

[vocal snow]

users can be in many guilds

member is only for 1 guild

[violet wigeon]

oh

okay

how can i store member then 🙂

[vocal snow]

sounds like you want a multidict

[vocal snow]

store the guild id too bruh

[violet wigeon]

what will this do for me

[vocal snow]

so u can get the guild

and then get the member

[violet wigeon]

okay

then what?

[vocal snow]

then add roles to the member

[vocal snow]

with this

[violet wigeon]

dude that is the p o i nt

which event or command does this thing

[vocal snow]

wtf are you talking about

you store user_id and guild_id

when user points >= 1000

bot.get_guild to get guild

bot.get_member to get member

member.add_roles to add roles

[open narwhal]

It behaves mostly like a regular dict but it may have several values for the same key and preserves insertion ordering.
Is this the one you are referring to?

I wanted the opposite thing, different keys pointing to the same value/row.

posting links arent against the rules right

[vocal snow]

i wasn't referring to a particular module, just the concept

[vocal snow]

not at all

[violet wigeon]

okay

[open narwhal]

aah okay

[violet wigeon]

but we doing things under @bot.command or @bot.event

[primal token]

Depends on what they direct to, as its content may break the rules and will most likely get deleted

[violet wigeon]

which one should i use

[vocal snow]

it might be easier to just have an sqlite db in memory

[open narwhal]

[open narwhal]

ah okay

[vale wing]

I once got banned for posting random link like amongus-is-sus.com

[vocal snow]

💀

[vale wing]

I was just testing out link regex 😩

[open narwhal]

he do be kinda sussy tho

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[primal token]

no no, the message wasnt directed at you!

[slate swan]

i have question where do i past it ?

in which lines

[void flax]

I don't know enough about it to say that you're wrong. But this implies that none of the variables you create while your bot is running are ever garbage collected. Which would be pretty wild

[vale wing]

Create some class with overridden __del__ and see if it gets invoked?

[slate swan]

help*

[heady citrus]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

is there a way to make that User 1 button be same width as User 2 .. more text button?

cause discord removes spaces

[sick birch]

No

Unless you want to add a lot of 0 width chars

Which looks weird on different devices

[slate swan]

im thinking about that but

i think making reference in message above buttons and then using numbers is better way

[sick birch]

E

Just had to make sure my internet was working

This chat too quiet

[primal token]

Paranoid

[sick birch]

This chat does that to you

Constantly on edge for the next “intents is a required argument” question

[primal token]

NoneType attribute errors😏

“My commands don’t work no errors”

[dark pine]

how can i put the command to work for only some roles

like not for all

[primal token]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")...

[simple kettle]

async def notifier_channel(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel):

I want this to have a error handling function incase they dont provide a text channel. How do I do that?

[dark pine]

hey noid, can i make an exception like if has the role then continue
else: ctx.send?

the check() returns with errors

[wintry panther]

how do i add choice slash commands to my bot? like an option to choose from like: berry,fruit,egg,bananana that sort of thing

[slate swan]

garbage collectors are not really reliable :p

[primal token]

Just catch MissingRole in a local error handler

[slate swan]

what?

[primal token]

If a wrong object is passed a conversion error would probably be present, you can always have default values and a check

?

[naive briar]

Use typing.Literal

from typing import Literal

...

@client.tree.comand()
async def food(interaction, opt: Literal["berry", "fruit", ...]):
    await interaction.response.send_message(opt)

[primal token]

You can always lower the string you will use to check in an expression

[bright wedge]

how i can add 2 button in 1 message in discord.py v2.0?

[slate swan]

is that how discord.py does it? weird impl as usual

[wintry panther]

do i put it here

[naive briar]

In https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/transformers.py they have many good examples

[slate swan]

add the buttons to your view object using add_item and send the view

[wintry panther]

is the "Literal" in opt: Literal a variable?

[primal token]

A literal value

over a type

[slate swan]

!d typing.Literal its a class in the typing Library

[unkempt canyon]

typing.Literal

typing.Literal```
A type that can be used to indicate to type checkers that the corresponding variable or function parameter has a value equivalent to the provided literal (or one of several literals). For example:

```py
def validate_simple(data: Any) -> Literal[True]:  # always returns True
    ...

MODE = Literal['r', 'rb', 'w', 'wb']
def open_helper(file: str, mode: MODE) -> str:
    ...

open_helper('/some/path', 'r')  # Passes type check
open_helper('/other/path', 'typo')  # Error in type checker
```...

[primal token]

why not just do

if message.content.lower() in words:
```?

[wintry panther]

i can but the berry/fruit thing by doing like Liter(choices) right
