It makes you look like a fool no offense, given old code as "help"

[primal token]

This isnt even python?

[slate swan]

is

its more discord.js....

[eternal fox]

Thats not python

[slate swan]

ok but still can someone actually help me w my pasted code like fr i was playing around but stil

[eternal fox]

We already helped u

[slate swan]

ye

u told me to put value but never told me where

[naive briar]

at line 88

[slate swan]

oh right

so like this?

[meager chasm]

Why r u guys helping such an obvious troll lol, just ignore them

[slate swan]

invalid syntax at 2 dots and 1 ,

[slate swan]

troll?? im litreallyaskig for help ur to quick to assume

[meager chasm]

The dots represent the other parameters like command_prefix

You don't put them there literally

[slate swan]

i can still send dms to bot and its still replying

[paper sluice]

those dots are to be replaced by you, like you put ur prefix and other kwargs which you mightve passed in before

[slate swan]

dots 😔

async def luckboost(ctx):
  pfp = ''
  em = discord.Embed(color=800000)
  em.set_thumbnail(url=pfp)
  em.set_footer(text="d")
  em.add_field(name= "Luckboost")
  await ctx.reply(embed=em) ``` **Someone please tell me where i put the value **

[slate swan]

which value?

ok
the em.add_field

[slate swan]

add_field(name=..., value=...)

[slate swan]

idk what the value is

[placid skiff]

[slate swan]

bro im so confused

[slate swan]

value is any text

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining. Can only be up to 25 fields.

[slate swan]

you wanna show under the name of the field

how do i make a bot ignore dms? or close dms

BRO NOW IVE GOT A ERROR IM ABT TO CRY OML

[placid skiff]

!d discord.ext.commands.guild_only

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.guild\_only

@discord.ext.commands.guild_only()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that indicates this command must only be used in a guild context only. Basically, no private messages are allowed when using the command.

This check raises a special exception, [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

If used on hybrid commands, this will be equivalent to the [`discord.app_commands.guild_only()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.guild_only "discord.app_commands.guild_only") decorator. In an unsupported context, such as a subcommand, this will still fallback to applying the check.

[placid skiff]

value must be a string

[slate swan]

Here UwU is the name while the text below it is the value
also, the value has to be a string or a reference variable that points to an str object

[pseudo spoke]

I made a tic tac toe bot with python :P

[slate swan]

ok

[primal token]

ellipsis😳

[slate swan]

dead on

[slate swan]

Ur acting like i know python

Ellipses seems so cool to just say 😳

[placid skiff]

If you don't know python then you should not use d.py

[slate swan]

reference variables aren't even a python thing y'know

[placid skiff]

it is not beginner friendly

[slate swan]

. Why cant yall copy that and put the value in it so i can carry on to what i was doing w my bot

[placid skiff]

Because that is spoonfeeding, here we discuss about discord bots, resolve problem/issue, help people to learn

We do not spoonfeed

[slate swan]

THANKSSSS

[slate swan]

ye can yall spoonfeed me for a second

[placid skiff]

i literally gave you the docs, just read it

[slate swan]

where

[primal token]

baby!

[placid skiff]

Here a grown ashley feeding her code

[slate swan]

and u cant ban me for that since its a medical term

[blissful lagoon]

@slate swan don't use ableist language

and please be less rude and annoying to people that you're asking for help

you can check out our #code-of-conduct if you have questions about our expectations

[slate swan]

no ones actually help there just telling me to add random stuff thats giving me f* errors

[blissful lagoon]

you can either ask for help or not, that's up to you

following our code of conduct is not optional though

[slate swan]

as i just said ive asked for help everyones giving me code that gives me errors

[placid skiff]

we helped you, but your python, generally coding, knowledge is not enough, you'll have to study more, and in this discord you will found people that will help you learn, but if we just give you some code that you don't even understand you will never learn

[hollow badger]

It's clear your Python ability doesn't match your ambition to create a bot. This is not a slight, Discord bots aren't considered a beginner project. May I suggest you get up to speed with something like Automate the Boring Stuff or other beginner resources.

Being so stubborn and ignorant wont make you any better or get you any help so please refer to the help given to you by the small group of people over being annoying to others.

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

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.

[sick birch]

@slate swan discord fucked my reply sorry, here it is

[slate swan]

whats a varabile

[sick birch]

There’s the problem

Making discord bots is not a good idea if you don’t know what variables are

In short it’s a container that holds a value

[meager chasm]

Neat, thanks

[silk fulcrum]

thanks for luck, I won in drawn or even lost position :)

[slate swan]

Thanks so much fixed it after 2 hours of non stop no help LOL

[sick birch]

We are helping, you’re just not very receptive, no offense

[primal token]

That analogy is quite horrible i must say and is quite incorrect.

[ripe jackal]

Hello guys I am trying to make a command in Nextcord which helps me type thru the bot. (the command is in a cog) Whenever I run the command I get this error:

nextcord.ext.commands.errors.BadArgument: Converting to "nextcord.channel" failed for parameter "channel_id".```

And this is the code:
```python
   @commands.command()
   @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
   async def send(self, ctx, channel_id: nextcord.channel,*,msg):
       channel=self.bot.get_channel(channel_id)
       await channel.send(f"{msg}")```

[sick birch]

I know, don’t want to confuse a beginner with the actual thing

[silk fulcrum]

int for an ID

not nextcord.channel

[meager chasm]

No it's not.

[primal token]

A better definition would be a unique street sign pointing to a street

[silk fulcrum]

and I think it's nextcord.Channel

[primal token]

Since when is a variable a container?

[sick birch]

As far as a high level programmer is concerned a box that holds a valid is good enough even if that’s not what it actually is

[meager chasm]

It has always been. You're referring to an identifier

Variables have always referred to spaces in memory which hold data.

[primal token]

?

[sick birch]

If you were a rust programmer for instance, this would be much better

[primal token]

If you look into what he said:

a container with a value
which isnt correct, the unique identifier does point to the stack in that memory address, which is a container, yes.

[meager chasm]

And the container is called a variable. So how was he wrong

[ripe jackal]

Yooo tysm, it worked. But is there a way to not always search for the id and just like type #channel

[glad cradle]

battle essays about variables

[silk fulcrum]

typehint channel as nextcord.Channel and don't get it via get_channel

[sick birch]

I agree it’s not entirely correct, but the point was to explain how it can be thought of on a higher level

[primal token]

A container pointing to an address, meaning its a variable thats a "container" and points to a value what?

[meager chasm]

I didn't say its a container pointing to an address.
An identifier points to some space in memory. That space (container) is the variable.

[sick birch]

You don’t need to know how references to mem addresses work, just that it holds a value to be able to use it

[primal token]

Yeah, robin did!?!?

You're literally proving my point, please read up on my points as maybe you misunderstood my point

[silk fulcrum]

i think this is not the topic of this channel 🗿

[meager chasm]

it's a container that holds a value
i.e, a variable

[primal token]

A variable is a unique name that points to a value, a pointer, no?

[meager chasm]

No, i would consider that as the identifier/address

[primal token]

Thats literally what i said

[meager chasm]

Although I suppose while talking about programming those two terms are used quite interchangeably

[primal token]

[meager chasm]

☺️

[paper sluice]

Variables in python are like variables in math 🗿

[primal token]

Just keep using synonyms of my points i dont mind

[paper sluice]

You don't have to worry about whats happening behind the scenes

[placid skiff]

bruh what are you all talking about

[silk fulcrum]

e := 911
u := {e, 1, 2, 3}
j := {e, 4, 5, 6}
u ⋂ j = e

[pulsar solstice]

PEP 8 is the official style guide for Python. It includes comprehensive guidelines for code formatting, variable naming, and making your code easy to read.

[faint sapphire]

only when discord bans accounts themselves
im talking ab bots banning ppl from guilds
they just use alts to join back

so for ppl who self bot ect, i need to ip ban them

[placid skiff]

you can't ipban

[faint sapphire]

but it is possible, i saw bots doing that with their premium

no, u can just make an alt discord

and thats the problem i have, i got ppl joining pormoting financial scams, ppl cookie logging/ beaming server members acc

[pulsar solstice]

bruh what's this error pls tell me

[placid skiff]

Senev is right, bans are ip-based

[pulsar solstice]

what does it even mean

[placid skiff]

if they join again probably the selfbot are under VPN

[faint sapphire]

bro i have like 7 discord alts
when u get banned from a guild u can just use an alt

[faint sapphire]

ik, but its better than nothing if it blocks half the scammers i ban

[placid skiff]

[faint sapphire]

i said guild ban

bruh

[placid skiff]

Bruh if you want to prevent scammers and self-bot just add an Anti-nuke feature to your bot

Like a captcha verification or something

[faint sapphire]

no, discord can ban users ip

[faint sapphire]

true, but i got a lot of ppl manually beaming accounts

so is ip banning from my server feasible

with a discord bot

[placid skiff]

[faint sapphire]

listen, when u ban a member from your discord server
it isnt an ip ban

when u report a person to discord support and that they ban them, then it is ip ban

my case is: banning scammers from my server
though they can rejoin
so im looking at possibilities to ip ban individuals

since when

did that come out last week?

then maybe, otherwise it has never been the case bruh

have u even tried yourself

u rly think i would talk ab this without knowing ppl can rejoin

bruh

but if i ip ban them, itll surely stop some

even if others use vpn

ig i can also make it so, ppl using vpns cant use the server
by collecting ips of free vpns

[placid skiff]

Bro when you ipban someone you ban that account and you don't let other people with the same ip joining the server

but if the one that has the same ip changes that ip, it will be able to join with another account

[faint sapphire]

yh, but when its for serious reasons it doesnt matter

[placid skiff]

just to clarify:

[faint sapphire]

let me ask you, have u ever gotten banned somewhere, and tried rejoining with an alt

[placid skiff]

i have user_1 in my guild, i ban him
now user_1 create the account user_2 and tries to join my guild with user_2, he can't because he has the same ip as user_1
Now, him joins a VPN, so his IP has now changed, now he can join the guild again using the account user_2

[faint sapphire]

ok but have u ever done it yourself

[placid skiff]

the ipban doesn't mean that it bans all the users with that ip, it just bans the account that is banned, then deny the same ip to join the guild again

[faint sapphire]

i have 7 alts, ive gotten banned like 10 times in places, every time i could rejoin with an alt with the same ip

[placid skiff]

what i mean is that if you check the user ban list in your guild you will only see the one banned

[faint sapphire]

yall saying i dont listen but yall clearly havent tried yoursleves
and ive done it like 20 times

[placid skiff]

You tried it from a guild of yours?

[faint sapphire]

ive been doing that since 2019 with a bunch of alts bruh

i got banned so often in servers

and rejoined with same ip

[maiden fable]

Nice

#ot3-discord-bots

[faint sapphire]

but if you havent done it urself why u keep contradicting me
i have 3 years of experience with what im talking ab

[maiden fable]

Let's just drop this...

[faint sapphire]

ask a mod here

ima look for a staff member in general

[slate swan]

Hello! I have some issue right now with my bot. "**chunk = f'{len(chunk):X}\r\n'.encode('ascii') + chunk \ **
TypeError: can't concat dict to bytes

Do you guys know what happens? (So my bost isn't responding over discord once I've type the command)

guys u can join from alt if u got bannedby using a vpn @faint sapphire

if u got banned from s erver

[faint sapphire]

not even

with same ip im saying

[slate swan]

yeah u can but u cant if u got ip banned

theres a command called "hackban" to ip ban

[faint sapphire]

so u agree normal ban with discord command doesnt actually ip ban

[slate swan]

yeah

[faint sapphire]

hol up where

[slate swan]

dynobot carl bot i think

[faint sapphire]

is that new?

[slate swan]

or wick

[faint sapphire]

oh u need premium right

[slate swan]

nah its a bot feature

nope

[strong crow]

How does that IP ban somebody?

[faint sapphire]

wait i need to find this command

[slate swan]

i lowkey dont know but the command is made to ip ban

nope

[faint sapphire]

man u a clown at this point

this guy just confirmed

i just found carl bot has hackban

[slate swan]

let me tell u my honest opinion , it happens that some countries have default ip ban and some dont

[faint sapphire]

wow

bruh

[slate swan]

so ig id give it rigjits true

its true

[static epoch]

https://discord.com/moderation/360060487093-443:-Ban-Evasion-and-Advanced-Harassment

Discord uses IP bans to prevent users from creating new accounts, but VPNs can be used to circumvent these bans.

[faint sapphire]

i think its possible to get passed vpns to get ips

[static epoch]

can we settle that and let this channel return to it's topic now?

[slate swan]

yes

[faint sapphire]

is that doable lol

[slate swan]

@faint sapphire dm

[strong crow]

if they ask the vpn provider directly, then it still depends on the laws where that vpn provider is registered

And if someone know how to deal with it please help me I'm so stuck

[vocal snow]

can you send your full code?

[ripe jackal]

it's 2k+ lines in different cogs

[vocal snow]

are you using threading/multiprocessing anywhere?

[ripe jackal]

Sorry, I don't know what is that.

[vocal snow]

are you creating more than one event loop?

[ripe jackal]

I think yes

[vocal snow]

could you show where (and why)

[ripe jackal]

I am not sure why, but I got it in my moderation cog (where is the command) and my main.py file
This is it python asyncio.set_event_loop(asyncio.new_event_loop())

[vocal snow]

that would explain things

you should remove that, it is causing the problem

only have it in the main.py file where you're probably creating the main event loop

[ripe jackal]

I get the same error If both are removed and if it's only in main.py

the error shows when I run the command

[vocal snow]

what do you have in main.py

[ripe jackal]

will send in dms

[vocal snow]

Hello, i'm using discord.py library for make a bot. I'm using cogs for the music bot, but when i do command like !join !play appear an error: discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "play" is not found.

Someone can help me?
(Please tag me)

[cloud dawn]

We don't help with music bots.

[somber ferry]

Oh, sorry

Why if can i ask?

[cloud dawn]

It violates YouTube terms of service.

[somber ferry]

And in any case this problem arises for every cog 👀

[somber ferry]

Oh, i don't know it

that

[slate swan]

guys i need help

[faint sapphire]

with my disc bot, i can use the bots loop, to couroutine a "wait 1 hour" function to run another function every hour yh?
or is it rly that much better to use another bot in a server, that sends a message

every hour, that triggers my bot to run the desired function
(dyno can send messages every hour automatically)

[sick birch]

I can’t

[faint sapphire]

but then i rely on dyno so idk

[sick birch]

I’ve tested

I can’t join with alt on the same computer, but using a VPN works

[faint sapphire]

well 2 legit bots have ip ban command for premium users, bloxlink and rover

and a server using one of them, made it so i was actually ip banned

unlike others

[sick birch]

An IP ban is a regular ban, not sure why they put that under premium lol

[faint sapphire]

well other servers using carl bot, dyno, ect, never rly ban me

[vocal snow]

easy scam lmao

[sick birch]

Fr

[faint sapphire]

any opinions

[sick birch]

Use the tasks extension

[faint sapphire]

from asyncio?

[sick birch]

No discord.py

[faint sapphire]

ok

[cloud dawn]

Well I guess big bots that have people connect their account to their website could get a connection between ip and the discord user to essentially ip ban you.

[faint sapphire]

so i have to make 2 functions yh
one that lasts 1 hour
then the desired function

actually both in one

[sick birch]

Regular discord bans are already IP though

[cloud dawn]

Are they?

[faint sapphire]

not rly

bro im not the only one saying this here

[cloud dawn]

iirc they aren't.

[sick birch]

An IP ban is not very effective because many home consumer IPs are very dynamic

[faint sapphire]

this is rly weird

[sick birch]

Yeah I can’t join any of my banned servers with an alt

[faint sapphire]

yh, how prevalent are dynamic ips

[sick birch]

The second I turn on a VPN though..

[cloud dawn]

That isn't very true, yes they could but not very often.

[faint sapphire]

are like 50% of routers using dynamic?

[sick birch]

ISP dependent

[cloud dawn]

Probably more.

[sick birch]

Most home routers will because a static IP costs extra and 1) people don’t know what that is and 2) people don’t care enough to pay unless you’re self hosting

[faint sapphire]

like using same wifi, same device, i could rejoin servers with alts
but in a server using ip ban premium command, with same wifi, same device, i couldnt rejoin with alt

[sick birch]

Can you provide an example of a bot with a premium ip ban command?

As far as I know the API doesn’t take any options as to IP banning or not

[faint sapphire]

rover, and bloxlink

[sick birch]

I’ve never heard of those 2

[faint sapphire]

check this though

[sick birch]

Either placebo, bullshit, or both

[faint sapphire]

rover and bloxlink are roblox based bots, they require u to go on their website to verify ur roblox acc

so thats how ig

[cloud dawn]

Well in the EU it's free to assign a static IP address if you know how to in your router settings.

[sick birch]

Probably how

[cloud dawn]

Yeah like I said -> #discord-bots message

[sick birch]

Regardless IP banning a bot account spamming your server ain’t going to do much to abate it

[faint sapphire]

a guy said bans arent ip bans everywhere
so prob not in eu

[cloud dawn]

Well they would also ban your roblox account so not many people would even hassle to get around it. Also we're talking about <14 people

[faint sapphire]

actually youre right

theyre prob using the verified roblox accounts to determine they can rejoin

[cloud dawn]

Not that, that would stop me.. i.. like to watch it burn 🐒

[faint sapphire]

ok what u on ab

[cloud dawn]

Double trouble.

[faint sapphire]

im lost lol

[thorn seal]

how to i mention a user without ctx

[sick birch]

Do you have their ID?

[cloud dawn]

Let's just say at the age of around 12 I didn't exactly play by the rules or the intendent way to play a game.

[sick birch]

I don’t think any of us were very intelligent at 12

[cloud dawn]

member.mention

[faint sapphire]

at 12, best thing i had was a nintendo ds
actually i had an archos tablet, but yh lol

[thorn seal]

member not defined

[faint sapphire]

my best friend tho, was programming on a mac since he was 8 lol

[cloud dawn]

You assuming my smartyness at the age of 12?

[cloud dawn]

Well yeah you would need to get/ fetch the member with the id but then you can also do @languid forge

[cloud dawn]

Ouch mac.

[faint sapphire]

mac is okay wuab

[thorn seal]

uh ur dumb

[faint sapphire]

idk his parents gave him their spare comp

[cloud dawn]

Same, tbh if I were to gave gotten a mac I most likely would use a mac as well.

[thorn seal]

how do i mention a user without ctx

[faint sapphire]

so theres no point for me to find a way to fetch the ip of a person i wanna ban
cause it would be exactly the same thing as discord guild bans
but those bans clearly almost never work (apparently bc they got dynamic ips)

so anyone got an idea how i could more effectively keep banned members away?
through a website ig, with cookies?

why so many ppl use slash commands

[cloud dawn]

You passed the class as text, do view=view

[cloud dawn]

It's gut.

True but you are passing the repr of the object since you send it as a string. So inside the ctx.response use the view kwarg to specify that what you are passing is a drop down menu.

how do i install discord.py 1.7.3 on replit

?

[cloud dawn]

In the console type py -m pip install discord.py\

[faint sapphire]

ig with a requirements file

use heroku instead btw

[paper sluice]

replit uses poetry

[faint sapphire]

idk why theres so many haters (i read the first message in discord bot hosting), but heroku is great for me
if u just a beginner its cool

ik it stops its free thing in november, but they say they have plans for student benefits

[cloud dawn]

Free thing?

[faint sapphire]

free working dyno hours

aka free hosting

idk bro, just use message.content lmfao

[paper sluice]

poetry add discord.py==1.7.3

[faint sapphire]

slash commands arent necessary
its easier to use prefixes imo

on my phone slash commands dont work too, might be cause discord aint up to date idk

i havent manually updated it since 2020

[paper sluice]

no? slash commands have auto complete, each parameter has well defined types so user can't mess up

[faint sapphire]

true

i wasnt answering to something in ur code directly, i was talking ab a diff method

[primal token]

How?

[paper sluice]

and not to mention, your bot gets a cool logo when you add them 😉

[primal token]

Slash commands have their own GUI abstractions over prefixed message commands like how isnt that enough to know they are better?

[vocal snow]

you aren't instantiating the DropdownColours class

You use parentheses and pass the parameters required by it

Like how you call a function

Might want to check out https://youtu.be/ZDa-Z5JzLYM

because you aint sending message bro

oh im blind

enclose client.get_channel in brackets

[slate swan]

it does not change anything, it still does not send

[grim oar]

it shud error

any errors

[slate swan]

if there were errors, I would not write here and it just isn't

[grim oar]

do you have any error handlers

[slate swan]

no

[grim oar]

hmm

its just not sending message right

the event is getting called?

[slate swan]

I just don't know what the error is

[vocal snow]

do u have member intents enabled

[slate swan]

yes

[vocal snow]

in code and dev protal

[slate swan]

yeah

[grim oar]

jeff is there an on_raw for this event 🤔

[vocal snow]

No ☺️

[untold iron]

Hey there im trying to create a command that creates a channel named Transaction, however i want it to also add a value e.g. Transaction1 if there is already a channel created called Transaction

That way there is never the same name for the new channel, it has a value added to it so it can be differentiated from the other channels

How can i go about doing this? Many thanks

[wanton cipher]

is there anyway you can have a interaction last for a certain amount of time only? (timeout only works after an interaction is made, it counts down that amount of time)

I tried by doing something like so...```py
class JoinView(disnake.ui.View):
message: Optional[disnake.Message]

def check_timeout(self) -> float:
    seconds = (self.end - datetime.datetime.now()).total_seconds()

    if seconds < 1:
        self.end += datetime.timedelta(seconds=1)
    return seconds if seconds > 1 else 1

@disnake.ui.button(label="Join", emoji="📥", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.blurple)
async def button_join(self, _: disnake.ui.Button, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction):
    await interaction.response.defer()
    self.timeout = self.check_timeout()

but it's very unreliable, ticks over too far, and just... it works, but if and/or when it wants to instead of should

anyone have any ideas?

(ping if/when responding please)

[slate swan]

iterate through the servers channels and check if their name is whatever you want. If its the name just return or else you create the channel

acc nvm what i said i didnt read ur message correctly ^

[untold iron]

Its alright ty tho

[untold iron]

From that code of creating the channel, i want to be able to get the bot to automatically say something in the new channel, how can i go about this?

[slate swan]

where you add the await guild.create_text_channel… assign it to a variable like channel so like
channel = await guild.create_text_channel…
then under your ctx.send just add in await channel.send() and whatever you want inside it.
Sorry if this looks weird im typing this on mobile currently so its hard asf

[slate swan]

await

[untold iron]

Not sure what it means by awaited

[slate swan]

await channel.send

add the await before the channel.send

[untold iron]

Ohh understood

Hey!
I am making an error message but i want it to make it so the only person who can see it is the author

Like: https://cdn.apilol.pics/⁠‌‌​‍⁠​⁠​⁠‍‍​⁠‍‌‌‌⁠​‍⁠​⁠‍​‍​⁠​ඞඞඞඞඞ

Code:

[cloud dawn]

What have you got so far?

[slate swan]

that code

[slate swan]

if not owner(ctx)
response
else:
code

[cloud dawn]

I only see pseudo code.

It's not an if statement.

It's called ephemeral messages used by interaction.

[slate swan]

soemone said that

but it errors

[cloud dawn]

It's added when sending a message not in the embed.

[slate swan]

how the embed is:

await ctx.respond(
  embed=discord.Embed(embed shit yk)
)

after the brackets?

[cloud dawn]

yep

It's a kwarg of response not embed.

[slate swan]

thank you <3

Why does this code disable every button for 3 seconds, upon a first button being clicked?

After every other button press, it works perfectly.

Does anyone know why?

[wicked atlas]

What code you have? The usual way to do it is

embed.set_image(url="https://www.linktoiamgemyreallycoolimage.com/reallycoolimage.jpg")

Looks fine, except you haven't created embed

[quaint epoch]

Uu closed brackets

Unclosed

Discord.Embed is an object

Class*

[wicked atlas]

set_image is a method of a discord.Embed object, which usually people put in a variable named embed, or something similar

[quaint epoch]

You need to instantiate an object from there

[flint isle]

uhh how can I run something when a forum post is created?

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.on_guild_channel_create

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_channel\_create

discord.on_guild_channel_delete(channel)``````py

discord.on_guild_channel_create(channel)```
Called whenever a guild channel is deleted or created.

Note that you can get the guild from [`guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel.guild "discord.abc.GuildChannel.guild").

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

[pliant gulch]

Forums are just channels, so they fall under this event. Just isinstance

[wicked atlas]

I think on_thread_create might be it. Forum channels use threads, not channels.

[slate swan]

how do i make a welcome command in a specific channel?

async def on_member_join(member):
    #main server
    if member.guild.id == 971319429461835836:
        await bot.fetch_channel(971319830064017458).send(f"Welcome {member.mention}, this is our main chat!", delete_after=30)```

im using pycord, and my previous code no longer works...

[wicked atlas]

In what way does it not work? If it's just not triggering, you may just need to enable member intents

[slate swan]

its not triggering

[wicked atlas]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[slate swan]

its enabled already

[wicked atlas]

same im sure goes for pycord

[slate swan]

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

[wicked atlas]

Try putting a print statement in the event, see if it's triggering

[slate swan]

that code was from discord.py,
and i moved to pycord so its not working

[wicked atlas]

Why did you move?

[slate swan]

@umbral palm pls help here

[umbral palm]

So it's not triggering, eh?

Do you get any errors from it, or is it just nothing?

[slate swan]

For slash commands.

[slate swan]

no errors, nothing

its just not triggering

[umbral palm]

If you copied this over and it worked before, that means the IDs have to be the same...

[slate swan]

yeah its the same thing from my v1 code

[wicked atlas]

discord.py has slash commands

[slate swan]

i know.. but i still wanted to switch. cuz discord.py is no longer maintained

[umbral palm]

discord.py is maintained though?

[wicked atlas]

It was no longer maintained, until the guy came back

[umbral palm]

that retirement was not even six months in length

[wicked atlas]

yeah, was more surprised by the comeback than the retirement

[umbral palm]

eeyup

[slate swan]

its discountinued already

[umbral palm]

According to what

[slate swan]

search on google

[umbral palm]

because the github is still getting issues
and the master branch got merged onto like 2 days ago

it's plenty active

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[slate swan]

so how esactly do i fix this issue? in pycord

[umbral palm]

That's what I want to find out as well... it's small, so there shouldn't be that many places to look

[slate swan]

is the code correct though?

it worked on discord.py

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html
maybe because of this?

[umbral palm]

no, since the new libs came up around the time v2.0 was released

and likely implemented the planned changes as a starting point

[slate swan]

no meaning?

[umbral palm]

no meaning it's not likely to be the source of the problem in my eyes

[slate swan]

then how do i fix it? if there are no errors

[umbral palm]

I'm trying to figure it out

[slate swan]

ok

[pliant gulch]

At face value from the information you have given us, it looks like there could only be two issues as to why it doesn't trigger. You could either have passed the intents incorrectly, or member.guild.id is being compared to the wrong guild ID

[flint isle]

how can i await a forum tag edit and check to see if it has a specific tag

[pliant gulch]

I would suggest doing print(dict(bot.intents)) To verify intents are valid

If you 100% know it still wouldn't hurt to check

And be sure to check the id you are comparing member.guild.id too

[slate swan]

its all correct

[pliant gulch]

Can you show the output of the print?

[naive briar]

You didn't await the bot.fetch_channel

[slate swan]

i did?

its still not triggering

[twin mantle]

not triggering or not sending?

[slate swan]

i realised something

i realised that i forgot to import tasks from discord.ext 😅

[twin mantle]

i have an error which includes the word tasks

might as well try importing that too lmaooo

nop

[slate swan]

How do I complete an interaction?

[sick birch]

Respond to it or defer it

[primal token]

Doesnt deferring it respond to it?

[slate swan]

I do defer but then how come it doesnt work?

[primal token]

Making it fall to the point of "Respond"

[slate swan]

@sick birch @primal token I fixed the issue of my buttons disabling 🙂

I just hadd to add interaction.response.defer() at the top

now... the only issue

is that there is a delay 😭

async def protocol(self) -> None:
        while self.lost is False:
            await self.move()
            await asyncio.sleep(self.DELAY)

[primal token]

What do you mean delay?

I think you arent reffering to asyncio.sleep, right?

[slate swan]

when I click a button

the thing doesn't update until after the move is done

[sick birch]

What does the move do? How long does it take?

[slate swan]

Here.

async def move(self) -> None:
        
        # Update head
        y, x = self.DIRECTIONS.get(self.direction, (0, 0))
        self.head = (self.head[0] + y, self.head[1] + x)
        
        # Loss detection
        if self.head[0] < 0 or self.head[0] > (self.COLUMNS - 1):
            self.lost = True
            await self.CTX.channel.send(f'You lost! Your score was: {self.score}')
            return None
        elif self.head[1] < 0 or self.head[1] > (self.ROWS - 1):
            self.lost = True
            await self.CTX.channel.send(f'You lost! Your score was: {self.score}')
            return None
        
        # Apple eating
        if self.head == self.apple:
            self.body.insert(len(self.body) - 1, self.previous_head)
            self.generate_apple()
            self.score += 1
        
        # Body trail
        self.body.insert(0, self.previous_head)
        previous_body = self.body.pop()
        self.board[previous_body[0]][previous_body[1]] = ':black_medium_square:'
        self.previous_head = self.head
        
        # Update board
        self.update_board()
        await self.post(edit = True)

This is the function that changes direction.

[sick birch]

Does it take a significant amount of time? Should only be a second or less right?

[slate swan]

async def update_direction(self, direction: str) -> None:
            
        # Guardian statements
        if self.check_direction(direction) is False:
            return None
        
        self.direction = direction
        
        if self.started is False:
            self.started = True
            await self.protocol()

The direction change should be instant, but the movement should have a delay to give time for the user.

[sick birch]

            await asyncio.sleep(self.DELAY)

you have a delay set here, that's why your button won't update until this is done. I'm not fully understanding the issue at hand though

[slate swan]

Okay, I'm sorry for not explaining it well.

I get that there is a delay

but is there a way to make the direction update instantly, so that its not affected by the delay?

[sick birch]

It theoretically shouldn't since it's before the asyncio.sleep()

[slate swan]

hmm

Do you want to test it out?

Weird question, I know, but maybe that'll help explain it? Maybe I'm not doing it right

[sick birch]

I dunno. I'd rather have you just explain it

[slate swan]

Okay, let me see if I can try to explain it better, again I apologize for how stupid I am.

[sick birch]

No no, just a failure to communicate. If you can explain the problem I'll try my best to assist

[slate swan]

Okay I got it!

Basically, when I press a button,

It takes like 1 second to respond, and there are random delays in the game for some reason.

I do edit the message every 0.75 seconds, is that an issue? (This is only for one or two servers)

[sick birch]

Yeah rate limits

I do believe you only get 5 message edits per 5 seconds

[slate swan]

I want the game to be uh.. as accurate to the real snake as possible, bt I get that discord is not the best game engine

Ah okay, so 1 edit a second?

[sick birch]

Probably a bit more just to be safe

Or you could do a thing where the snake moves each time you press a button, might be better. Design choice so it's up to you though

[slate swan]

I did the one where it moves each time you press a button 4 times, but each time I had a tester they said that was weird.

so I'm trying to make it as accurate as possible to real snake.

RIGHT NOW IT WORKS PERFECTLY, so thanks robin 🙂

You were a huge help in my discord.py journey!

[sick birch]

My pleasure. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with 😄

[slate swan]

🙂 ❤️ Have a good night or day depending where you are from.

Guys how can I make my bot collect reactions from comamnd user till 2 minutes?

[robust fulcrum]

Wow looks good game 👍

[slate swan]

Thank you 🙂

Is there any UI i can improve?

[sick birch]

Maybe align the buttons like you'd see them on a keyboard?

Or in an + shape

[robust fulcrum]

If your snake goes to top and if you press top arrow do it gives game over?

[slate swan]

yes.

[robust fulcrum]

Oh cool

[drifting arrow]

Whats the maximum discords my bot can be in before I am forced to use slash commands?

[vocal snow]

100 iirc

[rare echo]

ik this is for intents but does that apply to / cmds?

[vocal snow]

At 100 you're required to get your bot verified if you want the message content intent, if you don't have a valid reason for it then you have to switch to slash commands

[rare echo]

gotcha, thnx

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

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

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

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

[vocal snow]

And then run your python script with python script.py

[dull terrace]

I did a Google and it look like it's get_channel not fetch_channel

[naive briar]

You're awaiting the send() but not the fetch_channel

[placid skiff]

get and fetch are two different methods, get does a lookup within the internal cache, if it founds the required object, then the object is returned
fetch is an API call

is it like this?

[naive briar]

Yeah, like that

[slate swan]

do u mind helping me test it out?

by joining and leaving

No

[slate swan]

ok then ill ask my friend to help, thanks anyways

interesting, I always wondered why

get_channel is not a coroutine

so how do i fix it?

If you want to use that

Get the await out

await bot.get_channel(...).send(...)

Btw @placid skiff while converting that Java code, did u get Overflow errors? 👀

[naive briar]

He's using py-cord

[maiden fable]

Because sized arrays

[naive briar]

Idk why they call it ctx

[maiden fable]

Because it's... py-cord

[slate swan]

so how do i fix it

[naive briar]

True 🤠

[slate swan]

fixed it already thanks

@vocal plover we NEED an answer

Nice u writing a paragraph

Yup, i had to do this essentially to make them "adimensional"

  int totalLength = 0;
  File dist = new File("some_dist/");
  File[] toSearch = dist.listFiles();
  while(toSearch.length != 0) {
    File nextFile = toSearch[toSearch.length -1];
    toSearch = removeValue(toSearch, nextFile); //This is a method that i used to remove the last element from the array, it returns the same array without that elemet
      if(nextFile.listFiles().length != 0) {
          totalLength = toSearch.length + nextFile.listFiles().length;
          File[] toAdd = nextFiles.listFiles();
          File[] result = new File[totalLength];
          System.arraycopy(toSearch, 0, result, 0, toSearch.length);
          System.arraycopy(toAdd, 0, result, toSearch.length, toAdd.length);
          toSearch = result;

        await ctx.respond(embed=em)```

this isnt working
instead of letting it send "application did not respond"
when user on cooldown, i want it to send this embed

pls help here

[placid skiff]

btw this reminded me when I had to handle the millis overflow with an Arduino Nano

I had a sort of timer handled with the uC internal timer, so I made a function to check, when the millis goes overflow, if x time was passed from max_internal_timer to actual_internal_timer smth like that

[placid skiff]

It's because another error is raised but you are not handling it, you are only handling one exception ignoring all the others.
You will need to add an else statement that will handle all unhandled exception, using this code to get the traceback of the error

import sys, traceback

#your code
else:
  print(f"Ignoring exception in {ctx.command.name}", file=sys.stderr)
  traceback.print_exception(type(e), e, e.__traceback__, file=sys.stderr)
  await ctx.send("An unknown error occurred while executing this command")

Then you can check your console for the full traceback

[vocal plover]

Probably he wanted to mention me

[vocal plover]

Anyone wanna help me test my discord bot? Note: you will be invited to a server. If so please dm me

[delicate hornet]

import requests

t = ''
url = 'https://discord.com/api/v10/users/@me'
print(f'Authorization: Bot {t}')
print(requests.get(url, headers={'Authorization': f'Authorization: Bot {t}'}).json())

im trying to get the current users info
t is the bot token

{'message': '401: Unauthorized', 'code': 0}

[naive briar]

I don't think you have to put Authorization: there

headers={'Authorization': f'Bot {t}'}

[delicate hornet]

it works

[spring needle]

How to add custom emoji from a server that has the bot into SelectOption?

[vocal plover]

who is they

I dont have time to read a ton of messages of context

[maiden fable]

See the image above it

[vocal plover]

So the question being asked is why the word 'ctx' is used in commands?

[maiden fable]

in slash commands, in py-cord lol

[vocal plover]

It's easier to just ask me what you want to know rather than sending me on a game of cat and mouse looking for messages

[slate swan]

its an ApplicationContext ez

[vocal plover]

idk I don't use or maintain pycord

my assumption would be that people are familiar with it so they keep using it

[maiden fable]

Wait, I thought u r one of the core devs

[vocal plover]

I've never touched pycord's code

[maiden fable]

mb sorry

[slate swan]

how to send a message as embed?then it delete itself then apears another embed

snake game, 3D renderer

tic tac toe

[slate swan]

hi im making a discord bot and this is my embed

@bot.command()

    await ctx.reply(embed=embed)

bot.run('token removed for safety')``` and you can see im trying to put custom emoji in the footer for paypal but this is what it shows when command is ran ":Paypal : blah blah blah it doesnt show the emoji

[robust fulcrum]

Whats 3d renderer?

[placid skiff]

it's an error with the response of the request, http 502 means that the server where you sent the request had timeout or the response has errors

[rugged shadow]

I was joking about the 3D renderer

[robust fulcrum]

I can try making tic tac toe

[robust fulcrum]

Yesterday i had a dream that i made a flappy bird game in dpy

[rugged shadow]

do it

[robust fulcrum]

Floppy bird very hard to make?

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Guild.get_emoji get the emoji with this and then just cast the value that you get to a string emoji = guild.get_emoji(12345), send(str(emoji))

[rugged shadow]

depends on your experience

assuming by your past messages it would probably be really hard for you

[ionic edge]

its a fiveM server ip

[placid skiff]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_emoji

get_emoji(id, /)```
Returns an emoji with the given ID.

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

[placid skiff]

yeah but it is a problem with that, your command doesn't have anything wrong

[slate swan]

errors

[placid skiff]

bruh really?

[slate swan]

yea

[placid skiff]

guild must be a guild object (discord.Guild), the id must be a valid emoji id and send is the method of the channel or the context (discord.TextChannel, discord.ext.commands.Context)

[placid skiff]

and the method is this

[robust fulcrum]

And maybe if i made game it can get me tooo many requests api error

[rugged shadow]

mhm

[slate swan]

what

im new idk what ur saying

!resources then you should study this first. discord.py is not beginner friendly

How can I make the game board?

[bold kernel]

Hello, is it possible to pass a lists on args of a slash commands ?
something like when we pass async def member(ctx, member: discord.Member) but replace member with a lists ?

[placid skiff]

you mean that you want to take a list of members for example?

it is not possible either for a slash commands or a message command, with the slash you will have to take a string, tell the user that he has to mention one or more member, then use the split method and try to convert that mentions to a Member object, with the message command is pretty the same except for the argument that you set in the command

[slate swan]

Greedy should work imo

[vocal snow]

Slash commands don't support variadic arguments out of the box

[bold kernel]

yes exactly, like name ["", "", "", ""] et pass it on args of a commands

i try it but TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

[placid skiff]

it does lmao, but you will have a lot of checks to do

[placid skiff]

Or you can try to ask the user to send something like this and then use the builtin method eval to get the list

!e

print(eval("[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ']"))

[unkempt canyon]

@placid skiff :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ']

[placid skiff]

but you will need to get a string anyways, and then convert the string to a discord object

[paper sluice]

eval 👀

[placid skiff]

i've suggested, now is up to him

[paper sluice]

???

[vocal snow]

[bold kernel]

oh that's not I want but thanks

[placid skiff]

I was going to reply to him with a for loop in asm

[slate swan]

ok tarsier

why not just make a custom converter lmao

[placid skiff]

It's the same thing, with a converter you will just have a converter that does it lmao

but anyways you will have to convert n strings to objects

[slate swan]

I know, I'm not so dumb

😭

[slate swan]

really easy, but ok

[placid skiff]

I didn't want to make you feel dumb

[placid skiff]

Except that who will use the command could be dumb and you have to make the command foolproof

[slate swan]

that depends on how far you can think of

[placid skiff]

My teacher taught me to think as the dumbest person in the world

[slate swan]

understandable why

[whole sparrow]

  File "c:\Users\rifat\Documents\Code\Discord Bots\mikkellind\cogs\example_cog.py", line 40, in confirm_button_callback
    await user.add_roles(role)
AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'add_roles'

why does inter.author.add_roles(role) not work?

[placid skiff]

!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.

[whole sparrow]

user = inter.author btw

[placid skiff]

discord.py?

[whole sparrow]

disnake

[placid skiff]

BRUH

full code?

[whole sparrow]

uhh

aight

[slate swan]

because inter.author is returning a User object and Users are NOT associated with servers and there are no roles without servers either. You need a Member object in order to add roles.

[placid skiff]

the command that raised the error lmao

[whole sparrow]

Yeah the command the user sent is via private dm's with the bot

anyway to get past this issue?

[placid skiff]

oh so that's why

[whole sparrow]

            db.remove_pro_role_request(inter.author.id)

[placid skiff]

if the user cast the command in the guild it will return the member

oh is dm_only

then you will have to convert that user into a member

[whole sparrow]

How can I?

[placid skiff]

!d disnake.Guild.get_member

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Guild.get\_member

get_member(user_id, /)```
Returns a member with the given ID.

[placid skiff]

Btw, no, d.py maybe, disnake is not stupid, if the command is casted in a guild it returns the member object

[slate swan]

.author should automatically return a Member if it was a guild context tho

[slate swan]

you'll have to manually get/fetch the guild Bot.get_guild and then get/fetch the member from that guild Guild.get_member

!d disnake.Interaction.author

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Interaction.author

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[slate swan]

when did I say it returns a User object in guilds

the user "or member" 🦀

[placid skiff]

don't know, you have emphasize USER so i taught of that

[whole sparrow]

ahh fair enough, ty

yeah makes sense,

[whole sparrow]

I tried this but gave me

AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'guild'

so ashley i believe will work

[placid skiff]

yeah you will need a guild object

[whole sparrow]

whats the typehint for self.bot

i mean, whats the class of self.bot

[slate swan]

"ashley I believe will work" that sounds so wrong lmao

[whole sparrow]

so I can use autocomplete

[slate swan]

discord.ext.comands.Bot

[whole sparrow]

lmao im speeding

tyyy

[slate swan]

wlcm

[placid skiff]

if you have subclassed the Bot class then it is that class, otherwise disnake.ext.commands.Bot

[slate swan]

where do you think you most commonly use self.bot within a class in disnake smh

[placid skiff]

you use self.bot in cogs too

[slate swan]

where else do you guys use it 💀

[whole sparrow]

            await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=view)
            role = interaction.guild.get_role(config.ROLE_ID)
            print(role)
            guild = self.bot.get_guild(inter.author.guild.id)
            member = guild.get_member(inter.author.id)
            await member.add_roles(role)
            db.remove_pro_role_request(inter.author.id)
            

This is what I have but it's not really working

guild = self.bot.get_guild(inter.author.guild.id)
AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'guild'

wait im dumbasf

interaction.guild_id mb

[slate swan]

where else do you use it fr 💀 sarth has a point

if you want it on the right you'd have to draw it on the image itself and make it wider

also, how the heck are you planning to make snake work on discord?

[slate swan]

snake game

[slate swan]

I already have, want to try it?

It's kinda bad... but I'm still trying 😦

[dull terrace]

i mean, at scale my man

[slate swan]

Oh no, this is only for 2 discord servers.

[placid skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/right-in-the-meow-meow-lilgaykook-yoongi-gif-21792255

[slate swan]

It's just a personal project

[dull terrace]

you can only do 50 edits across discord per second

oh, i see

[slate swan]

Again, would you like to try it?

I still need feedback on design

[dull terrace]

sure

[primal token]

They're supposed to have a punch line which is a point that has humor in it.

[slate swan]

ok noid

[cloud dawn]

Yeah indeed, I've been working a lot and now I'm going to school again, last year for graduation. Serious business, on top of that I also work 1 day.

[dull knot]

Tryna make a HackBan Cmd. Here's the code:

    @commands.command(name="hack-yeet")#, description="Usage: Ban @user") 
    @commands.has_any_role("Shuma  ヽ(💢`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻","Head Administrator 🌪" , "Administrators 🗝", "ꔫ・˚꒱Staff ° .", "≧ω≦")    
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def HackYeet(self, inter, user: int, reason='No Reason provided'):
            guild = disnake.Guild
            if user in guild.members:
                embed = disnake.Embed(title="", description=f":RAB: Kant be Kicced as User is in Server", colour = disnake.Colour.random())
                await inter.send(embed=embed, delete_after=10)
            else:
                await inter.guild.ban(disnake.Object(user), reason=reason)
                embed = disnake.Embed(title="", description=f"**:PAL: Reason: __{reason}__**", colour=disnake.Colour.random())
                embed.set_image(url= "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/953108903049191424/1011220166232780830/BanHammer_2.gif")
                await inter.send(embed=embed, delete_after=30, content=f":BanHammer: <@{user}> has been Yeeted with a Ban Hammer")

And here's the Error:

    raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: argument of type 'property' is not iterable

What I'm trying to do here is check if the user is in the server. If User is in server returns True, then it will send the Code in the if statement there. How can I make that work out?

Also, don't mind the Inter in the parameters. Will convert it to Slash Cmd after I fix this

[cloud dawn]

Good to know I'm not the only one sticking around, al tough I've not seen someone here as long as me besides staff members.

[cloud dawn]

Full error?

[dull knot]

[cloud dawn]

Ah well yeah but why are you checking if the user is in the guild?

[dull knot]

It's so that the bot won't be banning admins lol.
It's a replacement for this piece of code
if member.guild_permissions.administrator or member.top_role >= inter.author.top_role: — Since this won't really work since User: int has no such attributes

The bot will just ban users even if they're admins if that piece of code is not implemented

[cloud dawn]

Why not use a member converter by typehints? I also recommend consistency on those.

from disnake import Member

@commands.command(name="hack-yeet")#, description="Usage: Ban @user") 
@commands.has_any_role("Shuma  ヽ(💢`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻","Head Administrator 🌪" , "Administrators 🗝", "ꔫ・˚꒱Staff ° .", "≧ω≦")    
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def HackYeet(self, inter, user: Member, reason: str = "No Reason provided"):
    if not member:
        await inter.send("This member could not be found.", delete_after=10)

    ...

I'd also typehint inter but I don't know the object rq.

This works since the Member object is an object converter when type hinted in a command decorator.

[dull knot]

I think -> disnake.Interaction or : disnake.Interaction.

Will try this one. See if it works

[cloud dawn]

!d disnake.ext.commands.MemberConverter

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.MemberConverter

class disnake.ext.commands.MemberConverter(*args, **kwargs)```
Converts to a [`Member`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Member "disnake.Member").

All lookups are via the local guild. If in a DM context, then the lookup is done by the global cache.

The lookup strategy is as follows (in order)...

[cloud dawn]

These converters also exists when type hinting: Flag, Game, Role, User, Emoji, Guild, Colour, Invite, Member, Thread, Message, Permissions, TextChannel, ForumChannel, GuildChannel, GuildSticker, PartialEmoji, StageChannel, VoiceChannel, PartialMessage, CategoryChannel, GuildScheduledEvent

[dull knot]

Will look into these later. Thanks! Appreciate the help.

[cloud dawn]

But since you can also get another object if you really want to follow the book a member typehint would look something like this.

from disnake import Interaction, Member

@commands.command(name="hey")
async def test(self, inter: Interaction, member: Member | None, reason: str = "No Reason provided") -> None:
    ...

| meaning or ... and -> None: meaning the return keyword doesn't return anything in the function, aka void.

Python 3.10 else it's member: Optional[Member] = None -> from typing import Optional

[dull knot]

Appreciate the help

[cloud dawn]

np if you run into any issues further, most people here would take the time to help, you can also ping me but I don't guarantee a quick response.

[dull knot]

yeah, they're pretty cool. Really appreciate the help though. For now, I'll try out what u told me

[limpid otter]

How to get the mentioned participant in interaction?

[cloud dawn]

How is this participant defined?

[limpid otter]

Well .... at the mention should. i just found interaction.user

[slate swan]

How do I get a discord user's username from their ID

is that possible?

cannot import name 'handle_message_parameters' from 'discord.http' (C:\Users\antho\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\http.py)
  File "C:\Users\antho\OneDrive\Bureau\scrap\ebay.py", line 1, in <module>
    import discord```

I don't understand this error if someone can help me (first time it happened to me)

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Client.fetch_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.fetch\_user

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

Retrieves a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") based on their ID. You do not have to share any guilds with the user to get this information, however many operations do require that you do.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`discord.Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_user()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.get_user "discord.Client.get_user") instead.

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

[slate swan]

hmm

[slate swan]

Can you give me an example of how do use it?

[cosmic agate]

what is the code for giving a person a role? cant seem to get it......

[vocal snow]

user = await client.fetch_user(id)

[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.

[slate swan]

I don't have client

[vocal snow]

then what do you have

[cosmic agate]

tank u tank u

[slate swan]

class Bot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        
    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild = discord.Object(id = 994773768482336828))
        
        await self.tree.sync(guild = discord.Object(id = 994773768482336828))
        
        self.add_view(Button())

I use commands.Bot not discord.Client

[slate swan]

???

would it still work for both?

[vocal snow]

commands.Bot inherits from discord.Client

[slate swan]

you have to download discord.py from commandprompt

[slate swan]

yes

just open it and type pip install discord

its usual walk though

[vocal snow]

do you have any third party libraries installed

[slate swan]

ah okay thanks.

[cloud dawn]

Basically me when I asked a question got confused, asked again, still confused but ah okay.

[slate swan]

hmm it's possible

but I couldn't say which ones

[slate swan]

No, I got it

[cloud dawn]

Oh okay. lol

[slate swan]

@vocal snow Just making sure, this returns the user object, correct?

So I'd still have to do User.name?

[slate swan]

it doesn't change anything

[slate swan]

can you send your code, just to make sure?

[vocal snow]

ye

[slate swan]

kk

import micromania
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/', intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('le bot est prêt !')

client.run('token')

@slate swan

[vocal snow]

pip freeze and check

[slate swan]

what code editor are you using?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[slate swan]

@vocal snow

[slate swan]

visual studio code

[vocal snow]

yes?

[slate swan]

is there an underline under import discord?

[cloud dawn]

I'm sorry but scraping ebay is against their terms of service.

[slate swan]

@vocal snow I am also sorry to keep pinging you but

@Host.tree.command()
async def leaderboard(interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
    toPost = ''
    for ID in SCORES:
        person = Host.fetch_user(ID)

        toPost += str(SCORES[ID]) + '\n'
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=discord.Embed(
        title='Leaderboard:',
        colour = 0xf7df05,
        description=toPost
    ))

 toPost += person.name + ': '
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'name'

is it not .name?

[vocal snow]

fetch_user is a coro, you need to await it

[slate swan]

ahh im so stupid man

[slate swan]

why scraping ebay?

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

ohhhhhhhh roasted, gj for catching that

[slate swan]

haa yes that no I am not scrap ebay at all it was before I just wanted to test something but it did not work

[cloud dawn]

Okay just letting you know.

[slate swan]

OK LAST THING GUYS

IM SO FUCING SORRY TO BUG YOU ALL BUT AFTER THIS, IM DONE!

Ok you see that 1 command?

When I use it, it pops up an embed but it does it in a class, which means it does not respond

[cloud dawn]

What is wrong with interaction.channel and interaction.user.id lol

[slate swan]

nothing is wrong with it

I use it

Ohhh

I see now, well I can change it if you want

[cloud dawn]

Yeah but why the ctx then lol

Well I just noticed it.

[slate swan]

I need it for the class

[cloud dawn]

I don't understand "it pops up an embed but it does it in a class".

Like the repr inside of the embed..?

[slate swan]

Okay basically the snake game is in a class

I send the CTX

it uses the CTX to post embeds and edit them

if I send an interaction, I wont be able to edit the message or have it returned to me.

I need the message instance

it's just easier to use CTX in that case.

[cloud dawn]

I see a lot of dupe code lemme clean it up first.

[slate swan]

ok

@slate swan So the message doesn't get send here, can you see inside the Snake class where the message does get send?

[cloud dawn]

Since interaction doesn't really allow for rapid edits, it does have an edit from original message.

What exactly does it send?

[slate swan]

It sends this

[cloud dawn]

Please provide the full traceback.

[slate swan]

but it edits every 1 second

[cloud dawn]

Does it get edited once a button has been pressed?

[slate swan]

it edits every 1 second after a button is pressed

[errant coral]

mean this

I'm failing to see the issue lol I can see a snake game there.

[slate swan]

Nono it works 🙂

Wait im so sorry my mind is foggy

Did I say there was an issue

Also thanks for polishing my code

I have a quick question Panda

[cloud dawn]

last line py await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=accept) you need to initialize the class so ```py
await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=accept())

[cloud dawn]

Yes?
