[faint sapphire]

what would that change

cause fetch doesnt yield

[slate swan]

what do you want it to do exactly

[honest shoal]

hold on lemme check the docs, there was something I remember

[slate swan]

@faint sapphire

[faint sapphire]

to make it stop searching after like 30 seconds

or to move on with code

maybe a while loop idk

oh shit the try except thing does work

thanks so much

[slate swan]

ig the way you're describing it if-else statement would work

Oh

[faint sapphire]

its so weird that try except works for something that simply doesnt give an output

[slate swan]

yeah if it's raising an error it'll work

[faint sapphire]

but maybe it does it too soon

uk what i mean

[slate swan]

since it's throwing an error try-except can work

[faint sapphire]

apparently it does, wasnt obvious before cause output had nothing

[honest shoal]

yes you will get NotFound error if user with that id doesn't exists

[faint sapphire]

discord is rly good

but theyre not profitable, rip it might disappear some day

[primal token]

Just use in?

[honest shoal]

they make a lot by selling nitros

[faint sapphire]

unless the CCP keeps it alive in exchange for everyones info

[faint sapphire]

they really dont

they only make ab 200 million

nowhere close for operational costs

[primal token]

What?

Where did you get that number

[mental hollow]

its like netflix, theyre big but never were profitable

[brazen raft]

!or @untold iron

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[untold iron]

Thanks thats sick, where can i do a bunch of those commands without clogging chat up?

[mental hollow]

Hey, anyone?

[brazen raft]

#bot-commands

[left idol]

if i have a command that i want to have a "shared cooldown" how would i go abouts it? for example someone runs /poop and i want there to be 30s inbetween the next person who uses it?

[brazen raft]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html?highlight=cooldown#discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown

Actually

!d discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.cooldown

@discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown(rate, per, *, key=...)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a command.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns are based off of the `key` function provided. If a `key` is not provided then it defaults to a user-level cooldown. The `key` function must take a single parameter, the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") and return a value that is used as a key to the internal cooldown mapping.

The `key` function can optionally be a coroutine.

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.app_commands.CommandOnCooldown") is raised to the error handlers.

Examples

Setting a one per 5 seconds per member cooldown on a command:

how to make a slash command cooldown ?

[abstract kindle]

Anyone willing to show me a general setup for a python project?

Like repository setup, how you access SQL database, file setup etc

I'm finding myself making huge messes of multiple files / downloads trying to find a clean way to setup a project

[wicked atlas]

You can take a look at how some oss projects on github are organized, like the Python bot
https://github.com/python-discord/bot

[abstract kindle]

How is it deployed?

[wicked atlas]

They run their services on a Kubernetes cluster hosted on Linode

[slate swan]

oh lol i misunderstood the question

my bad

[wicked atlas]

I believe it gets deployed using a Github Action that deploys it to the cluster

probably much more complicated than you want or need actually

for python discord it's probably great

[abstract kindle]

I see

How should I deploy a basic github project

So far I've just been running it off of my pi

But I find it very hard to test/run new code when it's hosted on the pi (I primarily code on my PC)

I would use SSH, but it's disabled on my college network

Also, which SQL database should I use? Don't want to pay for anything since it's a really small project, but I want to be able to work on the project from multiple computers, so a local database wouldn't work

[twin mantle]

the directory sman does not have that key, example

test = {"a":1,"b":2}

if you tried to test["c"] it would throw the same error because c doesnt exist in the directory. i didnt look at your code but you probably have a logic error somewhere

[quaint epoch]

oracle iirc has free tier servers

you can have a db on there

[untold iron]

Hey there i have created a simple command to create a new channel anytime the code !newtransaction is run, when that channel is created i want the async def newtestt function to run as soon as the channel is created, however i call that function on my channel creation command, when i call await channel.send(newtestt) i end up with this message in the new channel

[mental hollow]

Ahh, I see. How would I check if my key actually exists in my dictionary so I can delete it?

[twin mantle]

you are trying to delete something but you dont know if its actually there?

[mental hollow]

yeah

[twin mantle]

1s

try: # do this
    del dict["key"]
except KeyError: # if the above code errors with the error "KeyError" do this
    pass # pass keyword. litterally does nothing except end the indentation

[abstract kindle]

thanks, i’ll look into it

[twin mantle]

my guess would be that you are not running newtestt, to run a function you need the brackets. rn you are just passing this function in as an argument and that is what comes out then
instead do

await.channel.send(newtestt())

if you have any arguments for it pass them accordingly

[mental hollow]

ty

[twin mantle]

ok i looked at your code for one second and you are trying to send from two different positions

either pass in the arguments like ctx into hte function and send it

or use return at the end of the function, returning the string to send into the channel

anyways, can anyone help me dynamically loading cogs from files?

[untold iron]

Thank you, that got me closer

Error in terminal when running the command though discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: newtestt() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

I try pass ctx in the brackets

Prints this, not too sure why im very new to this sorry if its simple

[twin mantle]

newtestt() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx' this is the important part, i think you can figure it out yourself

how again do you call a function with arguments?

wait whaaskjndakjsd i thought i knew the error and just looked at your code lmao

[untold iron]

newtestt(ctx)

?

[abstract kindle]

I’ll explain one sec

[twin mantle]

yea you do it yes no work for me i love it

[untold iron]

😂 ??

[twin mantle]

or send the whole code, maybe then i could see the error

[untold iron]

Sure thing

[twin mantle]

for bigger codes use
```py
<your code>
```

[untold iron]

Tyvm

[twin mantle]

also the py for color codding because we all love colors

[untold iron]

Ohh

[twin mantle]

i would remove this await channel.send(newtestt(ctx)) and instead newtestt(ctx)

else you are trying to send stuff multiple times

i think that might have been the error also, trying to call .send without a message because newtestt doesnt return anything

or replace it by await ctx.send(embed=newtestt(ctx)), and return the embed at the end of the function newtestt

[untold iron]

Ouch

Oh my bad, reread let me try that

[untold iron]

Okay, so im a little lost, so is it that py await ctx.send(embed=newtestt(ctx)) doesnt have any link to the Newmbed in the function newtestt

Im not sure might be wrong

But then the part im confused on is how can i return the embed in the function? isnt it already embedded through ``` await ctx.channel.send(embed=Newmbed)

[twin mantle]

in the last line of the newtestt, instead of sending the embed, return the embed

[untold iron]

Super sorry bro but how can i do that 😭

Thank you for your patience

[untold iron]

this is the part im confused on, the return from the function newtestt is supposed to be read, and then that is outputted in the embed=newtestt correct?

[twin mantle]

newtestt(ctx) becomes an embed when finished running thats how you can imagine it

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'newtestt' was never awaited self._context.run(self._callback, *self._args)

newtestt is an async defined function, how does one call those?

also no worries i have plenty of time

[untold iron]

Hahahah ty

Await is used for async no?

[twin mantle]

yes

althought i am unsure if async enviroment is even needed in this case im not good with async

await ctx.send(embed=await newtestt(ctx))

[untold iron]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thank you very much it works, i see now its because new test is a async function

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh okayyy and i wasnt awaiting for the function only for embedding

[prime cloak]

Ok i fixed it!

[untold iron]

Than you very much, im glad you made me think about it i learnt something new :))))) thanks alot dude

[twin mantle]

no prob

[kindred epoch]

How do i make an async timer?

[sick birch]

await asyncio.sleep(seconds)?

[untold iron]

Hey there, im trying to add a reaction emoji that reacts to the new message printed in my new chat, however atm it reacts to the command

How am i able to tell it to target the new message printed in the new chat

[kindred epoch]

heard that was bad for multiple timers going at the same time?

[untold iron]

Would like it to be here

[sick birch]

Not sure on that one

[kindred epoch]

also that if the bot goes offline the timer is lost

[sick birch]

If the script* goes offline

[kindred epoch]

sure that

[sick birch]

Ideally your script should never go offline

[kindred epoch]

error stops the script from running?

[sick birch]

I don't think so. You should have good error handling to deal with that

[kindred epoch]

and what about if i intentionally stop the script for updating code?

[sick birch]

That should all be handled dev side and flawlessly pushed via CI/CD

Extensions allow you to hot-reload without stopping the script as well

[kindred epoch]

hm i see

how about using a loop and calling it from the db every, lets say 30 secs?

subtract the current time with the time saved in db? and if its in the negatives then call the funciton

[sick birch]

You can sync it on startup

[kindred epoch]

yea

[untold iron]

solved! ```py

if ctx.author.guild_permissions.manage_channels:
channel = await guild.create_text_channel(name='{}'.format(channelName))
await ctx.send(embed=mbed)
test = await channel.send(embed=await TransactionInitMsg(ctx))
await test.add_reaction(emoji)```

[kindred epoch]

instead of using .format you could do this:

name=f"{channelName}"

[untold iron]

Thanks, what is the difference or is it just faster to write?

[kindred epoch]

easier to understand when you encounter a error and just looks better lol

and convenient ig

[primal token]

Theres no need to use f strings or format and the given example isnt correct.

[primal token]

Its a faster syntax sugar

[kindred epoch]

huh?

how is there "no need to use f strings or format"?

[primal token]

Are you passing any static string or other values?

[kindred epoch]

Or you could just add "Transaction" to it instead of using f strings or format

[left idol]

for n in nateamids:
  await player.remove_roles(ctx.guild.get_role(n))

is there a better way of doing this? my goal was to: if the member had a role in a list (unknown role), get rid of that one in specific but the method i have now is removing all of them (32 roles) which is taking about 1 minute

Yup ig

[primal token]

It took you 2 mins smh

[dull knot]

Guys. Cmds that allow for custom cmds and cmds that alllow you to create custom autoresponders make use of databases, right?

Guess everyone's asleep lol

[winged dock]

fr

[rugged shadow]

Yes

[dull knot]

Pog. That gives me another reason to learn databases lol

Thanks!

[slate swan]

yes. In case of custom commands, they store the command name and the response to be sent upon invocation. Whenever your bot starts up, they make use of the add_command method of the Bot class (in case of discord.py or forks)

[dull knot]

Btw, I've got a question I've been meanign to ask yesterday lol

[slate swan]

yeah?

[dull knot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaWlS9HtWYw&list=PL-osiE80TeTsKOdPrKeSOp4rN3mza8VHN You think this would be a good idea to learn SQL? After I finish with this, will probably read that site you sent yesterday

[dull knot]

Always find this guy helpful but idk if it's a good way to familiarize myself with databases

[dull knot]

Plus, this doesn't seem to be a very long watch lol

[slate swan]

yes it's okay if you wanna use that, reading just makes everything faster

[dull knot]

Will go through this thoroughly lol. Will watch this then read that resource you sent yesterday. Alright. Thanks for the help

[pseudo finch]

I got more error in replit for discord bot Help me

[left idol]

is there a limit to autocomplete?

[vale wing]

Iirc it's 25

[vale wing]

I can only help by recommending not to use replit

Why'd you even use it? Youtube tutorial or smth

[slate swan]

nop none

[slate swan]

that's for the options, that's the point if autocomplete

[left idol]

Forgot to say I resolved my issue, thank you anyway though!

[slate swan]

import psutil smh

[naive briar]

Install it

[slate swan]

you can actually just send 25 autocomplete suggestions at a time :p

now since they are dynamic, you control which 25 of them to send on a particular response

[slate swan]

I know lol

[slate swan]

ofcourse

[dull knot]

Fuc. I'm stumped. Need help:

    @commands.command(name="nekoify")
    async def Neko_ify(self, ctx, *, content):
        Normal_Letters = ["L", "R"]
        for Letters in content:
            Nekoified_Txt = content.replace(f"{Letters}", "W")
        await ctx.send(content=Nekoified_Txt)

Think of this as the owoify cmd.
When I use the cmd, it just sends the string with an additional letter "W" at the very last string letter. I assume that's because of the for loop ending at the last string?
What can I do for this? Brain's becoming dumber by every second lol

[slate swan]

whats Letters? is that a list?

[dull knot]

Oh, wait. I forgot. It's supposed to be Normal_Letters

It still sends the same result regardless though

[slate swan]

yes, also beware that you can't check if list in str

[dull knot]

Yeah, I tried kek

[slate swan]

you need to check each element of list one by one

[dull knot]

How can I do that?

[naive briar]

Nice command 😳

[slate swan]

if all(element in content for element in <list>)
``` should do

[dull knot]

lol

[slate swan]

this will check if all elements of the list are in content

[dull knot]

damn. that's a lot of conditionals lol. Is that all that I need to do?

[slate swan]

if thats your goal, yes!

[dull knot]

ALright. Will first try understanding how that works. And Google is up lol. Thakns for the help!

[slate swan]

!d any

[unkempt canyon]

any

any(iterable)```
Return `True` if any element of the *iterable* is true. If the iterable is empty, return `False`. Equivalent to:

```py
def any(iterable):
    for element in iterable:
        if element:
            return True
    return False

[slate swan]

this may help

[dull knot]

Oh, didn't see that lol. Thanks again!

[dull knot]

Yeah, this makes more sense lol.

[slate swan]

The command doesn't working

I got no idea, anyone please help

No errors

I tried app(client).command tough-

[naive briar]

Why did you create both discord.Client and discord.ext.commands.Bot instance?

[slate swan]

tutorial1.intersection(tutorial2)

[slate swan]

I saw someone on strackover put those together

shall i delete one of them?

[naive briar]

You can only have one

[slate swan]

Okay, i'll try that, thanks you.

STILL NOT WORKING-

[naive briar]

Your bot have no message_content intent

[slate swan]

message_content??? what is that tough-

[naive briar]

Also, is this dpy 2?

[slate swan]

I DUNNO

i found lots of hell tutorial on youtube

so I just following it

[vale wing]

The 90% of those youtube "tutorials" are hell

Read the guides and docs instead

[ebon mauve]

might help

[slate swan]

I do read

import discord
from discord.ext import commands


app = commands.Bot(command_prefix='+')
@app.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f'{app.user.name}, Logged in.')
@app.command()
async def solo(ctx):
  await ctx.send("Hi")
app.run('MTA...thelatest.....mII86Fofnp7BTo')

yup, but, still not working

[vale wing]

What for do you need pass

The function is not empty

[vale wing]

!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]

AYy

[vale wing]

The code you found is outdated

Also yeah leave some spaces between functions (the right amount of spaces is 1 or 2 idr), your code will look better

[slate swan]

Thanks YOU

YEAH-

noone can randomly guess the solution without looking at ur code

[ebon mauve]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

the error comes from "ticket category" command's checks

[ebon mauve]

go to your shell

listen

go to your shell and just type kill 1

kill 1

[ebon mauve]

type this in your shell and then try running the code

what are you using to code your bot?

I prefer you try using visual code for now

write your code

go to shell or terminal, then typ the following

kill 1

and press enter

@slate swan r u making a bot for discord??

at what stage r u right now?

of making the bot

thats great

what are your bots current running functions? or u may say, commands

Just asking

I am also making a bot and facing some issues

thats why

damn thats great...

do you think u can help me out here with my bot?? 🙂 I'm also trying to make the same with addition to some embed msgs

[dull knot]

Bruh.

Well, I'm not a pro at python but there's the error smh

Isn't that only for replit? For when your bot gets rate limited?

[vale wadi]

Hi

[dull knot]

Hi

Then I think Kill 1 won't fix that. Fix the errors in the code

[ebon mauve]

it fixed mine...same issue

[dull knot]

Or I guess try this? Everything is worth a shot to learn something new

If it doesn't work, then yes. You probably need to fix some code errors. Check the errors in the terminal and figure out why it's happening.

[pulsar solstice]

how to make that little icon and title in embed

Like <icon> Dyno

in the image

[naive briar]

You mean embed author?

[pulsar solstice]

not exactly the author

but tell me how to do that

[dull knot]

embed.set_author.

[pulsar solstice]

it will be on the top?

[naive briar]

!d discord.Embed.set_author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_author

set_author(*, name, url=None, icon_url=None)```
Sets the author for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[dull knot]

^^^

[ebon mauve]

Can anyone here help me out with my bot??

My bot seems running, bt he's not taking a command here, he's taking a few commands except the embed command. Anyone here please help me out 🙂 i can show you the code

[eternal fox]

Show the code

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @ebon mauve!

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

[ebon mauve]

It seems i cant paste a file here

@eternal fox should I dm you the code?

[slate swan]

use a pastebin
https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[ebon mauve]

Ok

Its a whole .py file 🙂

[dull knot]

Just paste here @ebon mauve
I probably can't help since I'm also a newbie myself but there are lots who can here

and just do await ctx.send(embed=embed) @ebon mauve

[faint sapphire]

hey, how do i know if something isnt in a database
say i input a name which doesnt exist```py
try:
await cur.execute('''SELECT * FROM itemsInfo where name = ? ''', (items))
result = await cur.fetchone()
except:
result="None"

[naive briar]

I think it will return None by default if there's no results

[faint sapphire]

yh it prints none if i add print
i was confused cause returning None didnt work

yh i was tryna change the value of result if it was none, and that doesnt work

[naive briar]

You can do something like

result = await cur.fetchone() or "Default value"

[faint sapphire]

thanks

[ebon mauve]

nothing happends

still cant use the command

[naive briar]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[naive briar]

I'd suggest you get the unexpired invites from the server and use them before creating more

[naive briar]

Why are you creating both discord.Client and discord.ext.commands.Bot?

You can only have one

[ebon mauve]

ok

I changed the whole code again can u see that now pls?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/rayuzifeja

here

[naive briar]

You must first get a channel from the guild and then create an invite with it

channel = guild.text_channels[0]
invite = await channel.create_invite(...)

[naive briar]

^^^ you can take a look at the docs

And you have to be aware that every time you call that command, it will always create a new invite in the guild that it is in

👍

[naive briar]

The first thing is that you did not define client. Second, what is .say?

[naive briar]

If you want to respond to the command, you have to use ctx.send(mb)

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

Go to discord.com/developers

okay

[slate swan]

and hit the Bot tab, and from there enable all the settings under Privileged Gateway Intents

Nevermind, intents are enabled already

[rugged sigil]

okay

and?

[slate swan]

That is it, re-run your bot.

[rugged sigil]

Okay everythin is okay but it doesn't move member from channel voice

it doesn't do the job

[short silo]

This should output all the channels.

[pulsar solstice]

how to get the number of users of a discord bot

okay

[crimson compass]

what should i put

[rugged sigil]

nah

[glad cradle]

it's len(bot.users) since it returns a list

[rugged sigil]

something like $ because i am wroking in project

and i need that bot rn

[glad cradle]

text is required parameter, you can't invoke the command without it, you should assign a default value to text to invoke the command without providing something

[crimson compass]

such as?

[glad cradle]

text: Optional[str] = None

[crimson compass]

thank you

[glad cradle]

if no argument is provided when invoking the command then text will assume None as value

[open narwhal]

is pebblehost any good for hosting bots? what would y'all recommend?

[twin mantle]

my first call would be replit but i never hosted my bots online

[open narwhal]

I used to host my discord.js bot on repl.it before, used to go down occasionally, not a fan. It's hosted on heroku now but they are shutting down their free tier. Currently moving my .js implementation to .py.
I don't mind paying a bit to keep it running though. If y'all got any other suggestion/recommendation lemme know, thanks!

[glad cradle]

there's oracle's free tier

oracle hmmm

[twin mantle]

i myself use a rasberry pi 3b+ with ssh and ftp server installed to access files,
i develope a bot with my desktop pc with a token connected to a test bot and my rasberry pi always runs the actual bot with the code that was already uploaded. i heard you can do reloading on an event from file changed so automatic reloading can also be done

but it is around 40-50 bucks not sure rn

[open narwhal]

I see, I don't have a raspberry pi though but that sounds like a fun project

[proven ore]

man im bored

im bored man

bored im man

[winged coral]

ha

[twin mantle]

hi bored im mom

hi mom im bored

[hushed galleon]

there's a pinned message in the discord-bot-hosting thread that points to various virtual private servers you can pay for (lowest ive looked at is $5/month)
#965291480992321536 message

[open narwhal]

ooh thats sick thank you very much

[warm lava]

can someone pls help

AttributeError: 'Button' object has no attribute 'response'

[hushed galleon]

can you show your code? id guess that you have (self, button, interaction) as your parameters, which need to be flipped around to (self, interaction, button) in dpy 2.0

[warm lava]

class Buttons(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, *, timeout=180):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)
    @discord.ui.button(label="Button",style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
    async def gray_button(self,button:discord.ui.Button,interaction:discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content=f"This is an edited button response!")

@client.command()
async def button(ctx):
    await ctx.send("This message has buttons!",view=Buttons())

[hushed galleon]

yup

async def gray_button(self,button:discord.ui.Button,interaction:discord.Interaction):``` you need to switch `button` and `interaction` around

[warm lava]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

why does it have to be in that order in the first place anyways?

[hushed galleon]

originally during development it was (self, button, interaction), but then they changed it to (self, interaction, button) for the final release for "consistency" i think they said

[primal token]

Thats the order the library internally passes arguments upon an pressing a button

[warm lava]

ahh, i see

thanks ulit

idk the english equivalent of "ulit"

[hushed galleon]

ah it was one of danny's commits
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/commit/968a1f366fa1913c621bc866aedde068b86e9654

This is more consistent with the rest of the library which always has
the interaction as the first parameter. This has been done before in
the command extension as well, the first parameter is always either
self or the context.

[warm lava]

hmm

[untold iron]

Anyone know how i can setup source control with my project, nothing large scale crazy just a simple commit and ability to revert. All the tutorials on youtube seem crazy complex?

[slate swan]

um....this isn't the right channel really

[untold iron]

My bad, which channel should i ask in?

[slate swan]

it's easy though, you can read the official github docs -> https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/developing-in-codespaces/using-source-control-in-your-codespace
git is quite popular, if you run into issues. make sure to search up the internet, you'll find solutions easily

[lusty coral]

Friends, I'm trying to add my bot to the server, I can't add it, can anyone help?

[chrome bison]

https://cloud.google.com/compute

you get a perpetually free 1.5GB 2 core VM here

[dusk girder]

how did you generate the link

[lusty coral]

https://discordapi.com/permissions.html#0

[lusty coral]

.

[dusk girder]

try going through the discord developer website

go to your bot application
on the left, oauth > url generator

select bot, then choose permissions you want

that'll spit out a link that you can use to add your bot to servers

[crimson compass]

    async def ip(ctx: commands.Context, text: str = None) -> None:
AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'Context'```

[dusk girder]

did you name a variable the same as the module?

[lusty coral]

@dusk girderI can't use google transate, sorry for my english, I can't get any interaction when I click on the following sections, what should I do?

[dusk girder]

you able to show me what you see?

[crimson compass]

anyone

[dusk girder]

@crimson compass

assuming commands is a module, that is

[crimson compass]

yeah

[dusk girder]

yeah try naming the variable something else, or doing import commands as <alias>

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how can I send dm to user thought discord v8 api?

[lusty coral]

Sorry for the late reply

[honest shoal]

you use raw requests?

[robust fulcrum]

You mean post request?

[honest shoal]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

Ye

I will use it in my website

[honest shoal]

select bot and applications.commands

[dusk girder]

select bot in the large area above

not application.commands, bot

then choose permissions you want the bot to have on your server

[honest shoal]

I believe most of the people here do not use raw requests, you can ask at discord developers server if you get any doubt.
here's how you can create DMs - https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/user#create-dm
by the way, v8 is deprecated

[robust fulcrum]

I am not able to understand how to pass the message

[dusk girder]

(bot is here btw)

you get it to work?

also I never had to select applications.commands and it worked fine

[honest shoal]

with that, you create a dm channel

and then you can send msg to that channel

[honest shoal]

it is only for application commands in case they have any

[dusk girder]

application commands like /command or am I misunderstanding?

[honest shoal]

slash commands and context menu commands

both of them together are called as application commands

[dusk girder]

context menu??

never heard of that one before, I'll have to try them lol

also by just selecting "bot" I can still use slash commands so idk lmao

[crimson compass]

how do i make my bot delete the command ive typed
ex. i type hello and it replies with hi and it deletes the hello

[dusk girder]

presumably await msg.delete()

[honest shoal]

these

[dusk girder]

yeah I'm definitely trying these when I get home that's cool

[crimson compass]

do i put it like this?

@bot.command()
async def embed(ctx: commands.Context, *, text: str) -> None:
    embed = discord.Embed(title=ctx.author.name, description=text, colour=discord.Colour.random()).set_thumbnail(url=ctx.author.display_avatar.url)
    await msg.delete()
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[honest shoal]

no

[crimson compass]

how

[dusk girder]

oh so that's a context not a message I seee

[crimson compass]

yeah

[dusk girder]

idk what attributes the context class contains

[honest shoal]

ctx.message

[dusk girder]

ok that's what you want then

ctx.message.delete, not msg.delete

[thorn seal]

how do i check a user for permissions using interation

[crimson compass]

and do i put it where i put await msg.delete()

[honest shoal]

just the classic way I guess

[dusk girder]

I'd put it after personally but I don't think it matters

after the ctx.send*

[crimson compass]

it doesnt delete it

[dusk girder]

idk then lmao

[honest shoal]

show the code

[crimson compass]

@bot.command()
async def embed(ctx: commands.Context, *, text: str) -> None:
    embed = discord.Embed(title=ctx.author.name, description=text, colour=discord.Colour.random()).set_thumbnail(url=ctx.author.display_avatar.url)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    ctx.message.delete```

[dusk girder]

await ctx.message.delete()

[naive briar]

You need to await it

[crimson compass]

thanks

[dusk girder]

also they actually needed to call the function lmao

[naive briar]

🥴

[glad lagoon]

How could i get the last 2 messages of a channel?

[vocal snow]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[vocal snow]

the limit and oldest_first kwargs should help

[glad lagoon]

I had it kind of setup that way before but with less args

[tidal hawk]

Remove the *

[glad lagoon]

Did that

renamed message to number because well i already use message. But number.content just returns whitespace

[tidal hawk]

send full code snippet

[glad lagoon]

Or do you mean the entire method?

[tidal hawk]

Entire command yeah

[glad lagoon]

Command?

I didn't write most of this as this is a custom fork of a bot

Also this was before /commands

[tidal hawk]

Replace channel object with channel = message.channel

[glad lagoon]

this one?

[tidal hawk]

mhm

And also you do not need these None kwargs, just leave the limit one there

[glad lagoon]

so this should work?

[tidal hawk]

Yeah it should

[glad lagoon]

Nope just whitespace again

[tidal hawk]

Maybe the oldest messages had some weird formats

set limit to 20 and maybe smth changes

[glad lagoon]

Shouldn't since i just sent a normal message

[glad lagoon]

Nope. everything whitespace

[tidal hawk]

Does that part of the code get executed for sure? add print('test') above print(number.content)

[glad lagoon]

Considering the fact it's printing 20 lines of whitespace...

[tidal hawk]

Oh, welp

[tidal hawk]

what does number.author return?

[glad lagoon]

It works

Printing just the message it throws out all the data and stuff but i see no content

[tidal hawk]

Send a picture of these messages xd

[glad lagoon]

Might be a bit hard cause they go off screen

[tidal hawk]

From Discord text channel

[glad lagoon]

<Message id=984508464548167701 channel=<TextChannel id=984502146185691157 name='counting-test' position=11 nsfw=False news=False category_id=474783551326519319> type=<MessageType.default: 0> author=<Member id=236195385415172106 name='DangerMage' discriminator='1696' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=474783551326519317 name='MY MUSIC' shard_id=0 chunked=True member_count=7>> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>

[glad lagoon]

oh

[naive briar]

Did you enable the message_content intent

[glad lagoon]

message_content intent?

[naive briar]

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[tidal hawk]

goddamn intents, I usually enable them without thinking xD

[glad lagoon]

How do i enable it?

[pulsar solstice]

It's a kind of a good habit in my opinion

[naive briar]

By enabling it

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

[glad lagoon]

Do i need to do that inside my class or outside my class?

[naive briar]

And make sure to enable it in dev portal also

[slate swan]

discord.py - how to make a bot work only when you have a role?

[glad lagoon]

Ah yeah that might help

[tidal hawk]

Make the bot check user role and then go on from there

[glad lagoon]

Do i need to reinvite it now?

[tidal hawk]

nah

[naive briar]

Nah

[tidal hawk]

Thought Discord bots had cool features, until saw Telegram ones xd

[slate swan]

how

[glad lagoon]

WOOO

[naive briar]

🫠

[glad lagoon]

Now to compare them and make a counting game >:D

[tidal hawk]

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

or you can just do:

if role_id in [role.id for role in ctx.author.roles]:
...

[glad lagoon]

should be all i need?

(full bit of the counting part)

[tidal hawk]

convert content to integer

[glad lagoon]

Oh right

I should check if it's a digit first

[tidal hawk]

yess

string.isdigit()

[glad lagoon]

yup

so more like this?

[naive briar]

You also need to call the number.delete coro

[tidal hawk]

• translation - delete -> delete()

[glad lagoon]

Oh

[glad lagoon]

()?

[tidal hawk]

Bruh

[naive briar]

Put the () after them

Yeah yeah 🫠

[glad lagoon]

ah that's what sink was translating

So this should be good then

[vale wing]

I bruhed

[tidal hawk]

Just give it a go xd

[glad lagoon]

It's uh. deleting the number before the 2...

And doesn't delete the message if it isn't a digit

[vale wing]

Are you trying to make counting game

[glad lagoon]

Yes

[vale wing]

You just gotta fetch the last number on bot startup and save it, then compare it to the new messages and update it

History method is easily breakable

[glad lagoon]

I have no idea where in this fork i would add that

found it

probably want to do it here

[glad lagoon]

How can i pass the number between the 2 classes between the 2 files?

[vale wing]

Depends in what context

[glad lagoon]

well i found the startup file or at least a spot close enough where i think it would be safe to retrieve the last number but it's in a different class in a different file

[tidal hawk]

did u get it to work?

[glad lagoon]

No

It's doing stuff wrongly

I made it delete words now but it still deletes numbers

[tidal hawk]

if message.channel.id == 1020721733407359089:
            messages = await message.channel.history(limit=2).flatten()
            if not message.content.isdigit() or not int(messages[1].content) + 1 == int(message.content):
                await message.delete()

``` Just created that, it should work

[glad lagoon]

This person said history is easily breakable though

And can't bots not get history if the message is too old?

[tidal hawk]

Why do you want to fetch the oldest message? :D

[glad lagoon]

Not the oldest one but the counting game channel we have goes inactive every now and then

[tidal hawk]

When there's a lot of ppl spamming yeah

But yeah his method is better ig

[glad lagoon]

I mean, slow mode is a thing

[tidal hawk]

Mhm, but if 15-20 ppl enter a number at the exact same time, then it might become a problem

[glad lagoon]

hmm

Isn't his method breakable at that point as well?

well. i guess just check if the message is a digit then compare to the stored number would work if it does it for every message

[tidal hawk]

mhm

[glad lagoon]

But i'm not sure how to do this

[glad lagoon]

Also Your method doesn't work cause .flatten() isn't an attribute apparently

just doesn't work in general

[slate swan]

how to whitelist people to use my bot

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

[glad lagoon]

Good bot

No idea how to do this stuff so i'm gonna go eat

I have a server that has been around for a week and a server that has been around for a year. Both are community servers. However only the one that has been here for a year can make a forum channel. Is there some sort of server age limit to make forum channels?

I tried to make the forum with my bot but I got this error

[glad cradle]

did you try to create the forum channel in the server that did not have the forum channel feature?

[torn sail]

Yes

I’m basically wondering what I need to be able to make forum channels

[slate swan]

you need to enable and actually have possibility to create that channels

[glad cradle]

the server must have the following things:

Community
250+ members
user locale en-GB

however forum channels should have arrived at almost all servers, which means that soon it should also arrive in your server, these requirements are no longer met (only the community feature is required)

[wicked atlas]

I’ve already got them in my server with 1 user (me) and 10 bots

[torn sail]

Thank you for the responses!

[slate swan]

10 bots with one user...

[torn sail]

I assume that older servers are getting them first

[sick birch]

Got code?

[glad cradle]

those restrictions were valid when the forum channels were still in beta

oops wrong message

[gusty shard]

they are looking so close

how can i put them further

embed=discord.Embed(title=f"{message.author.name}'s stats", description=f"Started journey on {zaman}", color=0xffa3d9)
embed.add_field(name=f"Made {data[id]['stats']['max money']} in total", value=f"Lost {data[id]['stats']['losted money']} in total", inline=True)

embed.set_footer(text="If you think something is wrong, contact with us!")     
await message.channel.send(embed=embed)```

thats the embed

[slate swan]

you don't control them, discord does ;-;

[gusty shard]

so its impossible to make it look good

embed generator i used shows it like that

[wicked atlas]

Yeah, can't change how discord displays stuff

You could just make them not inline

[finite jay]

!voiceverify

[wicked atlas]

Or, you could display your text in a different way, like just putting it in the description with markdown

**Hello:** World
**Statistic:** $1000000000
**Meaning of Life:**: 42

[glad cradle]

maybe you could play with some invisible char

[gusty shard]

wdym

[wicked atlas]

I feel like that would screw up some stuff, especially on mobile

[gusty shard]

is it chr(173)?

[gusty shard]

they are still too close 😩

[wicked atlas]

Looks fine to me. That’s about as spaced you’re going to get fields.

[glad cradle]

true

[glad cradle]

maybe add some Emojis 🦆

[pliant gulch]

You got a typo in the embed

Also consider spicing things up with ASNI Code-blocks (if you don't care about mobile rendering)

[twin mantle]

uhm would anyone have some code for me that reloads cogs because im lazy?

asking for a friend

[rare echo]

actually faster than making a ping command

[slate swan]

How do i retrieve the message authors username in Hikari lightbulb?

[feral frost]

how do i make a commands.cooldown for slash bot ?

[faint sapphire]

i dont have a pro answer
but better than nothing ig, i think using a database could work, where u store the last time the user used to command

or u make an async coroutine

[twin mantle]

what is a "ping command"

im jokin

[feral frost]

is there an easy way like this ```

@commands.cooldown(1, 7200, commands.BucketType.user)```

[faint sapphire]

idk im not an expert

[feral frost]

k

[faint sapphire]

those two ideas are the best i can make up

yo
my question is quite basic :/
but im in a hurry to make all the commands functioning again
for a specific channel, i want the bot to read all the messages
i used to use message.content, i now moved to bot commands and dont know if i use message.context or something like @bot.listen

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context is always the first argument of a command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[vale wing]

Check its attributes

[faint sapphire]

thanks

[feral frost]

i found it @app_commands.checks.cooldown(1, 7200, key=lambda i: (i.user.id))

[faint sapphire]

wow

[vale wing]

Oh heck dpy even uses different submodule for app commands decos 💀

[faint sapphire]

can u share the link where u found that pls

i wonder if it applies for non slash commands too

[twin mantle]

i just deleted my reddit api access and dont have access to reddit rn

aahahahha

[faint sapphire]

whats that pfp

[feral frost]

non slash things is smth else ill show you

[feral frost]

for non slash [e-mail](1, 86400, commands.BucketType.user)

[faint sapphire]

awesome thanks

[feral frost]

np

[faint sapphire]

awkward attempt at getting a full message's content 😵‍💫 sorry im rushing things today```py
@bot.command(case_insensitive=True)
async def filterMessage(ctx):
if ctx.channel.id in hightierschannels:
fullMessage = ctx.message.content

[unkempt sinew]

hi

[feral frost]

how do i make smth like this @commands.is_owner() in slash commands ?

[slate swan]

what library

[feral frost]

me ?

i use app_commands

idk what it is

but it works if that is what you mean

[faint sapphire]

idk i just use lists containing admin ids
it can also be stored in a database
but then i rely on adding admins through commands rather than roles

i prefer that anyway

not a good idea if u making a public bot tho

[feral frost]

ye

[twin mantle]

i have not implemented any security features yet

litterally everyone could execute litterally every command

[feral frost]

not good

[twin mantle]

ahh nobody knows the commands its only like 5 commands

im still working on structure, speaking of which can anyone tell me the event name for when the bot joins a new server?

nvm i put adding new folders for server data in my read data function

[faint sapphire]

yh before adding lists of admins i had some commands with weird names so no one discovers them lol

yo i cant figure out how to see the full message content without having a command name :/```py
@bot.command(case_insensitive=True)
async def filterMessage(ctx):
if ctx.channel.id in hightierschannels:
fullMessage = ctx.message.content

[twin mantle]

how do you manage files? i just wonder if there is a better way then how i am doing it

"".split?

[faint sapphire]

files?

[twin mantle]

to store data about users or servers

[faint sapphire]

use a database like aiosqlite
ull have to, for each ppl to save their command prefix or whatever

[twin mantle]

thats what i mean yes

i have never heard that name

[faint sapphire]

its an async sqlite

[twin mantle]

if you know there is going to be a space in the input command you can use "".split(" "), and then use only the second object of the tuple

or use *args

    async def echo(self, ctx, *args):
        string = ""
        for part in args:
            string += part
            string += " "
        await ctx.send(string)

this is my echo function

[twin mantle]

thats online right

[faint sapphire]

its local

its same as sqlite3

just asynchronous

[twin mantle]

ahha i never worked with sql lmao

[faint sapphire]

so it can do more things at the same time

[twin mantle]

rn i have alot of text files each with their own value stored inside of them, and a decorator to get a dict out of it, and afterwards it writes changed information back to the files

also i just started having this really annoying typo, i write os.listdir as os.listidr

happend like 5 times, even when i wrote the first os.listird ASLDMLAKSDMÖLASMDLKASMD I CANT

[faint sapphire]

sounds complicated

[twin mantle]

ehh its not that hard 1s let me get my script

def server_data(func):
    """
    Decorator to get/write guild data when executing a command
    """
    def inner(self, ctx):

anything using this decorator returns the edited (or also unedited) data

ima change it tho to get a tuple so i might be able to have multiple returns not sure if i might need that

[faint sapphire]

idrk what im looking at
but use https://aiosqlite

[twin mantle]

but then i have to learn new stuff asnasdkn

that is not how links work

dw ill use google

it looks good but i dont see why i shouldnt use my current script

[slate swan]

should i start coding with pycord or discord.py

[twin mantle]

damn i didnt even know pycord existed

[quaint epoch]

discord.py

[twin mantle]

user id was ctx.author.id right?

[untold iron]

Hey there, im learning how to code a discord bot, however the problem i have is i never know what features there are i can use. e.g. what other reaction events can i do aside from on_reaction_add e.g. is there on_reaction_remove ect

Is there any list or so where i can search up these and find more

[twin mantle]

discord.py documentation events would be my guess

[untold iron]

Ty will check it out

[glad cradle]

!d discord.on_reaction_remove

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_remove

discord.on_reaction_remove(reaction, user)```
Called when a message has a reaction removed from it. Similar to on\_message\_edit, if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called.

Note

To get the message being reacted, access it via [`Reaction.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Reaction.message "discord.Reaction.message").

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

Note

Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_remove()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_remove "discord.on_raw_reaction_remove") if you need this and do not want to enable the members intent.

[slate swan]

which discord.py version is the best to use for bot coding

[vocal snow]

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.0.1

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[vocal snow]

That one

[slate swan]

ok ty

[limber bison]

why

[crimson compass]

how do i make my command not run if the user doesnt have a specific role/specific permission??

[twin mantle]

you cant use self outside off class functions where you gave it in as an argument

remove the three lines after the __init__ function

[vocal snow]

!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")...

[vocal snow]

And has_permissions for permissions iirc

[crimson compass]

thank you

[twin mantle]

if i mention someone inside of a message which gets reacted to, how can i get the id of who was mentioned?

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Message.mentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.mentions

A list of Member that were mentioned. If the message is in a private message then the list will be of User instead. For messages that are not of type MessageType.default, this array can be used to aid in system messages. For more information, see system_content.

Warning

The order of the mentions list is not in any particular order so you should not rely on it. This is a Discord limitation, not one with the library.

[vocal snow]

so in on_reaction_add you should be able to use reaction.message.mentions

[limber bison]

cant understand

[twin mantle]

1s

[limber bison]

done still not workinf

[twin mantle]

ty

[limber bison]

self no define

[vocal snow]

Yeah because it isn't lol

How is self.leng defined there

[limber bison]

explain

[vocal snow]

Explain what

If you need a guide on classes, check Corey Schafer's series on OOP on youtube

[limber bison]

ohk k

[twin mantle]

class foo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.length = 1 # can use self here because it is an argument
    # cant use self here because its not an argument BUT we are in the self scope so you can set a self variable like this
    length = 1

im not even sure if scope is the right word

[crimson compass]

also if the user doesnt have permission to use the command how to i make the bot send a message that the user doesnt have the permission required

[twin mantle]

are you using discord.Client or discord.ext.commands.Bot?

[crimson compass]

the 2nd

[twin mantle]

you are running a for loop in the class defining bruh

before __init__ runs

[twin mantle]

let me get the docs for you

there is a commands.check, if you are using cogs, or a bot.check decorator which takes in a function to run and test various things

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=checks#checks

[crimson compass]

thank you

it doesnt work

can anyone help

[vocal snow]

Decorator for on_command_rrror should be bot.listen() or bot.event

[urban ingot]

yall i made a antinuke w a usual 0.33-0.5 reaction

[primal token]

What?

[urban ingot]

yk what a antinuke is

[primal token]

Yes? Wdym by 0.33-0.5 reaction?

[urban ingot]

from when the event is called to when the member is banned

thats how long it took

[primal token]

What? nukes are arbitrary?

How do you know its a nuke or not with one event call?

[urban ingot]

Cog.listener()
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel)
start = time.time()
#do something
end = time.time()
print(end - start)```

[urban ingot]

check if the user is whitelisted?

[primal token]

Thats nice, an auto banner that bans you when making a guild channel kek

[urban ingot]

but if ur not whitelisted it bans u kek

[primal token]

Why would you use a whitelist?

[urban ingot]

trusted members..

other bots like Defender, summrs, are basically the same thing as mine 💀

[primal token]

The logic is quite funny imo

[urban ingot]

Ok

[primal token]

even if the member is trusted you cant measure the time of your bots reaction, just an average which you never said it was an average and where do these users get stored?

[ivory pivot]

[primal token]

And i wonder if automod will get new features like an antinuke which i wouldnt doubt that it wont come in the future

[slate swan]

this probably causes more confusion than it clears

class foo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.length = 1  # "self" represents the new instance of "foo" that was created.

    # self cannot be used here, you are creating a class, there is no "foo" class (it's being created) or instance of "foo" yet.
    length = 1  # this assigns "length" as a property to the "foo" class. this means foo.length is 1.

[twin mantle]

thats the point no im just really bad at explaining, ty

[primal token]

This causes even more confusion

[slate swan]

not really

what do you think is more confusing then? i'm open to hear

[primal token]

All of it

[slate swan]

you can elaborate

[primal token]

self doesnt always represent a newly created instance, should explain it.

"self" represents the new instance of "foo" that was created.

I would use the word declaring and not creating as it may cause confusion, foo can be created inside of itself so there can be a foo inside of itself

self cannot be used here, you are creating a class, there is no "foo" class (it's being created) or instance of "foo" yet.

i'm pretty sure its not a property but a class variable

length = 1 # this assigns "length" as a property to the "foo" class. this means foo.length is 1.

[slate swan]

self doesnt always represent a newly created instance, should explain it.
Given the __init__() method, that's inferred. I don't think __init__() would be used if a constructor wasn't intended.

I would use the word declaring and not creating as it may cause confusion, foo can be created inside of itself so there can be a foo inside of itself
Niche scenario, but valid point.

i'm pretty sure its not a property but a class variable
Sure, I could have worded that better. But "property" is just a broad term that also covers class variables. Please excuse my JavaScript exposure lol

[valid void]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 5, in <module>
discord.ext.commands (command_prefix = "/")
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

anybody know what i need to fix?

[primal token]

Should explain it as "in this case", __init__ isnt a class constructor either, Well in python a property and a variable thats bound to a class dont behave the same.

[slate swan]

There's some terminology being used incorrectly. What do you define as a class constructor? __init__() is exactly that. Also saying "a variable bound to a class" is very confusing, it's not a variable.

While technically it's a variable, it's just not usually referred to as one.

[primal token]

__init__ doesnt construct anything hence why i disagree

[primal token]

That whole point is confusing, "its a variable but not called a variable"

[slate swan]

Convention, we don't call properties/attributes variables

[slate swan]

...

[pliant gulch]

__init__ is 100% a constructor

It constructs the state of the class, basically 100% of the class

[primal token]

Its annotation is literally ClassVar

[slate swan]

Oh right, I totally forgot about that type

Never used it lol :P

[primal token]

Would disagree, it initiates the class's attributes but doesnt really construct it over something like __new__

[slate swan]

It's inferred as a class property

[pliant gulch]

You said __init__ doesn't construct anything though?

It constructs the state

Otherwise you'd have a global state using only class attributes
