discord-bots

[silent ridge]

and I did the command !cr

[hushed galleon]

does the bot have permission to read messages where you were sending the message?

[silent ridge]

yes admin perms

[hushed galleon]

code seems to be correct for 1.7.3

does the bot show up as online too?

[silent ridge]

what do you mean?

[hushed galleon]

in the member list

[silent ridge]

oh yes, the bot goes online

but doesn't respond to my messages

[slate swan]

anyoen know how to fix this?

2022-10-23 20:22:34 WARNING discord.ext.commands.bot Privileged message content intent is missing, commands may not work as expected.

[silent ridge]

do pip list

in the terminal, and can you screenshot that?

[slate swan]

Yeah

ignore the random stuff i accidently installed requirements from a different folder

[silent ridge]

okay do

[hushed galleon]

you need to enable the .message_content intent before you pass it to your bot constructor

e.g. ```py
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)```

[slate swan]

did that already

[silent ridge]

maybe same problem like me

[hushed galleon]

nah the logger message would imply that it went online

[slate swan]

so why doesnt mine work?

[hushed galleon]

can you show the code for your intents and the bot constructor?

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
import random
import os


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

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=intents)
token = "my token is here usually"


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("online")

client.run(token)```

thats all i have

2022-10-23 20:28:12 WARNING discord.ext.commands.bot Privileged message content intent is missing, commands may not work as expected

and thats the error i get

[hushed galleon]

i tested your code with 1.7.3 and didnt have any problem with it

[hushed galleon]

you only set the members intent, not message_content

[slate swan]

how do i do that?

[hushed galleon]

^

[slate swan]

ok

ill try right now

hi

[silent ridge]

Hmmmm weird

let me install it again

[slate swan]

Is there anyone who can help him?

[hushed galleon]

the error says that the variable filename wasnt defined before it tried replying to the message

[slate swan]

@hushed galleonerror is gone but ima test if it works

[silent ridge]

do you have any clue why its not working for me?

[hushed galleon]

hm, does the message content intent in the dev portal apply retroactively for older gateway versions?

[slate swan]

Well, how do I fix it?

@hushed galleonworks tysm

[hushed galleon]

this is more of a normal python question, you should open a help channel and paste your on_message code along with that error message and someone can help you there
#❓｜how-to-get-help

[hushed galleon]

@silent ridge well lets assume this does, do you have the Message Content Intent enabled in the developer portal?

[silent ridge]

That was the issue

it worked, really appreciated. Thanks for the help buddy!

[light night]

Not yet i was thinking about it, but I was unsure if it was the best solution

and if it failed, I was unsure, how to replace message with interaction.followup and then doing it from there

[slate swan]

you have a prefix set and ur not using it. use InteractionBot or enable message_content

[slate swan]

how do i enable message_cotent

[slate swan]

nvm thats the old code i fixed it now

ahhh okay.

[prisma prism]

Hi Guys!
I'm having an issue with discord embeds and using pages
The issue i'm getting is, it just adds the info from the second page onto the first page, it doesn't clear the first page first

        pages = []
        n = 4
        new_main_Values_list = [temp_embed_values_list[i * n:(i + 1) * n] for i in range((len(temp_embed_values_list) + n - 1) // n)]
        for itemy in new_main_Values_list: #main list loop
            for item in itemy: #sub lists loop
                C +=item
            page = discord.Embed(title='Page 1/3', description='Description', colour=col)
            page.add_field(name=None, value=C)
            pages.append(page)
        print("4")
        message = await ctx.send(embed=pages[0])
        await message.add_reaction('⏮')
        await message.add_reaction('◀')
        await message.add_reaction('▶')
        await message.add_reaction('⏭')

        def check1(reaction, user):
            return user == ctx.author
        i = 0
        reaction = None
        print("5")
        while True:
            if str(reaction) == '⏮':
                i = 0
                await message.edit(embed=pages[i])
            elif str(reaction) == '◀':
                if i > 0:
                    i -= 1
                    await message.edit(embed=pages[i])
            elif str(reaction) == '▶':
                if i < 2:
                    i += 1
                    await message.edit(embed=pages[i])
            elif str(reaction) == '⏭':
                i = len(itemy)
                await message.edit(embed=pages[i])

            print("6")
            try:
                reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=100.0, check=check1)
                await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
                print("7")
            except:
                print("Breaking 1234")
                break
        await message.clear_reactions()

this is the bit of code that's giving the issue

[slate swan]

Can anyone explain why my custom .help command isnt working this is the code.

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def help(ctx):
    author = ctx.message.author

    embed = discord.Embed(
        colour = discord.Colour.orange()
    )

    embed.set_author(name='Help')
    embed.add_field(name='.ping', value='Shows Bot Delay', inline=False)

    await client.send_message(author, embed=embed)```

[prisma prism]

what's the error you get

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'send_message'

[hushed galleon]

send_message doesnt exist in the recent versions of dpy

[slate swan]

so what is the new way?

[prisma prism]

await ctx.send(embed = embed)

[hushed galleon]

for DMing, you'd use .send() on the author object directly

[slate swan]

its a help command for a discord server though

so its like .help and it shows the commands

[hushed galleon]

oh, i thought you actually wanted to send to the author given your usage of it

ctx.send() sends to the channel the command was invoked from like blue's example

er, no

[slate swan]

await ctx.send(author, embed=embed)

[hushed galleon]

author shouldnt be provided in this case

[slate swan]

oH

[hushed galleon]

otherwise it would become the content of the message

[slate swan]

It works though?

I just tested it like that and it worked

[prisma prism]

Sorry to tag you, would you be able to help me afterwards?

[hushed galleon]

^

[slate swan]

Oh yes its better now

ty

[hushed galleon]

can you show screenshots of what occurred?

[prisma prism]

sure

So this is the command displaying, and it looks fine

then when I press to go to the next page

I get this

and then if I press a third time, it gives embed size error, because they are limited to 1024 iirc

I think somethings wrong with the embed, like it's not giving separate ones for different pages

[hushed galleon]

hm, assuming C is a string, it doesnt seem you're resetting it across each page, meaning it accumulates across each page

also the title is statically set to 'Page 1/3', so you wont see that updating

[prisma prism]

oh yeah, I was gonna fix that later

ty though

[hushed galleon]

ah ok

[prisma prism]

can I make C global and then reset it before I print("4") ?

[hushed galleon]

why would you need C to be global?

if its only used in the page embed you can simply redefine it after each iteration of your main list

[prisma prism]

ahh thank you

[slate swan]

u dont have setup function inside that cog

[prisma prism]

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

[slate swan]

does dpy gh not have examples for cogs?

[hushed galleon]

the documentation does but not the github

[slate swan]

ahhhh

[hushed galleon]

same for extensions, but unfortunately doesnt show extensions combined with cogs despite its frequent use case

[slate swan]

yeeee thats what i was looking for for this guy

[torpid hare]

is there any specific reason that my bots status works perfectly on windows but when i transfer it to my pi it just doesnt work my windows python version is 3.10.5 and my raspberry pis python version is 3.9.2

[slate swan]

wdym by "status"

[stuck rivet]

so discord changed how do you add a bot to server now

[hushed galleon]

you generate an invite link for the bot and have people click it

afaik nothing's changed

there's only the new Add to Server button on the bot's profile

if you want to include that feature you can enable it in the OAuth2 page on the dev portal

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/697489244649816084/910611016918900796/unknown.png

[stuck rivet]

yeah i enabled requires oauth2 grant by mistake that was my issue

[hushed galleon]

ah you meant your invite wasnt working

[stuck rivet]

yeah

why cant discord bots share screens?

[sick birch]

might be too demanding on bandwidth

[stuck rivet]

are self bots that can do it legal?

[hushed galleon]

self bots are against discord's guidelines, so you're out of luck

unless you're able to use another streaming service or make your own

[pulsar bridge]

How would I add cool-downs, timers and delays to commands?

• Cool-downs as in: You can’t use this command again for another 10 minutes

• Timers as in: This command will execute every time “Python” is mentioned for the next 30 seconds

• Delays as in: After 40 seconds, this part of the command will run. But without using time.sleep cause I don’t want to pause the entire program

[hushed galleon]

cooldowns are included with the commands extension, and delays are built into asyncio with asyncio.sleep(), but your timers idea would need to be done manually with a listener

[sick birch]

Delays are pretty easy. Just use await asyncio.sleep(seconds)

Timers might be a little bit more effort, because you'll need to store some sort of state on what time the timer was started, and check if the current time is less than start time + the timer length

[hushed galleon]

cooldown documentation
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.cooldown
asyncio.sleep
https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.sleep

[pulsar bridge]

Gotcha, I remember someone telling me about that a while back…

Commands Extension, I’ll have to read on

And Listeners? Am unfamiliar with the term

[hushed galleon]

oh, you havent used the commands extension before?

[pulsar bridge]

Yea, I know the logic behind it, but… not knowledgeable enough to know how to actually do it

Got a db set up for it though

[sick birch]

You can bind the start_time to your bot instance

And use something like a global check or just a plain old if statement

[pulsar bridge]

Maybe I have but I don’t know the term? Unsure

[hushed galleon]

you should start from here and also check out some examples of using the extension
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/index.html
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py

[slate swan]

Listeners "listen" to events. i.e on_message this gets triggered when a message is sent. which is where youll ideally start for your "Python" idea

[pulsar bridge]

Ooh, yea I know them, didn’t know the term was listeners My bad

[hushed galleon]

listeners are distinct from basic event handlers

[pulsar bridge]

Would it work if I used the timer lib and ran a while loop to continuously check if the timer has reached x time?

[hushed galleon]

discord.Client supports event handlers with the @event decorator while commands.Bot adds a listen() decorator which you can have multiple of for the same event, unlike the event handler

[sick birch]

I'm not aware of that library but I don't think there's a need to

It should be relatively simple logic if you handle it yourself

[pliant gulch]

Also streaming piracy

[pulsar bridge]

Got it… I think

[sick birch]

Store start_time = datetime.datetime.now() when something happens, then later check (datetime.datetime.now() - start_time).seconds > 1800, and start the next timer only if so

(1800 seconds is 30 minutes btw)

[pulsar bridge]

Looks like Extra homework tonight

[pulsar bridge]

Ahhh, I’ll try that

[hushed galleon]

if the timer only lasts 30 seconds as originally asked, i would simplify it to a dictionary

or perhaps a set

then have the command add the channel ID to the set, sleep 30s, and remove the channel ID, that way your listener simply has to check if the channel ID is there to know that the command is active

[pulsar bridge]

Why not try all the solutions out?
Let’s see which one works best

[torpid hare]

the same thing as the Listening to DM reports!

[upbeat gust]

Define "doesn't work"

and where are you setting this

[torpid hare]

no errors or anything it just doesnt show up and im putting it in @stray tanglek.loop(minutes=1.0)

oops

[slate swan]

are the paths different?

[torpid hare]

i didnt change anything

[slate swan]

are u storing the game locally?

[torpid hare]

yea

[slate swan]

can u show code how ur setting

[torpid hare]

yea

im not the best programmer so dont mind if the code is messy

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @torpid hare!

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

[torpid hare]

ok

https://pastebin.com/nMXXhuus

i thought it couldve been the version of python i have installed on my raspberrypi 3.9.2 i tried upgrading it but it broke everything and i had to reinstall the os

[upbeat gust]

Why is it in a task? Are you changing it

[torpid hare]

yes

it chooses a random game every minute from the files

[upbeat gust]

Why is there so much duplicate code 😭

[slate swan]

idk much ab raspberrypi but is the OS not different?

[chilly dove]

@torpid hare if the name parameter in discord.Streaming is empty the bot will appear to do nothing without an error double check that its getting more then nothing

[torpid hare]

cause i couldnt think of a better way of doing it sorry

[torpid hare]

different then what

[torpid hare]

all of the strings its grabbing is a game name it cant be empty

if it was empty it isnt a game

[upbeat gust]

Where are you starting the task? Do you know if it's even running

[slate swan]

his issue is it works on his local host windows. doesnt work on raspberrypi

[torpid hare]

it works on windows

yea

[upbeat gust]

yeah and I'm trying to figure out to what extent it 'doesnt work'

[chilly dove]

well if its exactly the same code running on both windows and the pi and one works but the other doesnt thats the only difference is the data that you are importing

all i got

[torpid hare]

i tried it with different data aswell

didnt work then either

[slate swan]

u tried pointing directly to the path?

[torpid hare]

the only time it did work was when i put in a a string like so await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Streaming(name="Hello", url=my_twitch_url))

[chilly dove]

i would put print statements to see what the data variable is before setting the presence

[torpid hare]

the file?

[slate swan]

mhm

[torpid hare]

yes it is

[chilly dove]

is it works with the hello then its 100% where you are pulling that data var from

[torpid hare]

then why is it consistently working on windows?

[slate swan]

according to ur code its not

try to use the FULL path on ur rpi

[torpid hare]

alright

[chilly dove]

on windows its properly pulling the data on the pi its not

[upbeat gust]

and also, do you have logging setup?

[torpid hare]

i do not

oml

[torpid hare]

that worked

[slate swan]

yup figured

[torpid hare]

thank you so much

i owe you one

[upbeat gust]

Using dpy 2.0 and not getting any errors? This is on purpose, the library now uses logging to send errors but only if you're using Client/Bot.run. More about that in ?tag defaultlogging.

It's recommended to setup logging yourself if you aren't using .run or use the utils.setup_logging helper function: just put discord.utils.setup_logging() anywhere in your running file. Docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.utils.setup_logging

but I can't use Client/Bot.run!
You can! You can load cogs and do other stuff in the newly added setup_hook method that is called once after the bot logs in, more about that and how to implement it in ?tag setuphook.

please get the setup so you see your errora

[torpid hare]

i will do that, thanks

[upbeat gust]

have the names in a dict like

games = {
  1: "foo",
  2: "bar"
  ...
}```
And get from the key
Or even just use a list and the index

All of the duplicate lines can all just be used once
There's no reason they need to be in the if (or for you to have ifs at all)

Your 400 lines could be like 10

[inland gulch]

hi

[torpid hare]

that does make more sense

[swift trench]

@client.command()
async def geninv(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel = None):
    user = ctx.author
    await ctx.message.delete()
    if channel is None:
        invitelink = await ctx.channel.create_invite(max_uses=300,unique=True)
        await user.send(f"invite in {ctx.channel.guild}!\n{invitelink}")
    else:
        invitelink = await channel.create_invite(max_uses=300,unique=True)
        await user.send(f"invite in {ctx.channel.guild} invite goes to {channel}!\n{invitelink}")

I have this and it works fine but how can I make it so I can do $geninv id

instead of $geninv #channel

ive already tried but i get multiple errors

[chilly dove]

@swift trenchassuming you are using bot instead of client that should convert a id to a text channel whats the error?

[topaz helm]

Do you have the kick/ban order to give me, please, but let it go smoothly???

[swift trench]

@chilly dove im not changing that anymore but can you help me with

@client.command()
async def channels(ctx):
  channel = list(ctx.guild.channels)
  c = str(channel)
  em = discord.Embed(title='ALL CHANNELS/CATEGORYS', description=f"channels\n{c}")
  await ctx.send(embed=em)

and make it return a list

[topaz helm]

@swift trench
Do you have the kick/ban order to give me, please, but let it go smoothly???

[swift trench]

shut

and look it up

discord.py kick command

[chilly dove]

if you are trying to make it return a list of the names then you would have to loop through the the channels and append the names to a list

[glad cradle]

ctx.guild.channels is already a list

[glad cradle]

list comprehension would be much better in this case

[swift trench]

ill try but I dont know a lot

@client.command()
async def channels(ctx):
  channel = ctx.guild.channels
  for c in channel:
    c.append(channel)
  em = discord.Embed(title='ALL CHANNELS/CATEGORYS', description=f"channels\n{channel}")
  await ctx.send(embed=em)

@chilly dove

i tried this

[glad cradle]

c is not defined, or rather you are trying to use append on something that is not a list

[chilly dove]

try this py channel_names = [channel.name for channel in ctx.guild.channels]

[swift trench]

ok

works 👍

any way to space out categorys from text channels?

[chilly dove]

the guild instance has .text_channels which will only return text channels and not all channels

[swift trench]

@chilly dove

what if I wanted it to return like

1
2
3
4

or maybe
1 text
2 category
3 voice
4 category

[chilly dove]

well you can check if something is one of those by using something like py isinstance(channel, discord.TextChannel) and substitute any of these:
TextChannel
VoiceChannel
CategoryChannel
StageChannel
ForumChannel
for text channel

[swift trench]

could you help @chilly dove

just making it
like
this

[jagged widget]

i wanna ask something that on message event and client .command are not responding together

[swift trench]

huh

[chilly dove]

if i remember correctly overriding the on_message event causes the bot to not process the command

[jagged widget]

so can it be fixed?

[chilly dove]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=process#discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands you gotta use this at the end of the event

[paper sluice]

or just [e-mail] to @bot.listen()

[topaz helm]

I also have a question where do I put the commands in main.py?

I'm new to bots

I also have a question where do I put the commands in main.py?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py

[glad cradle]

usually we use Cogs when developing a big bot which has many commands

[jagged widget]

worked ,,, thanks

[topaz helm]

do you have an order to say? so that I write, I say and the bot says

[vale wing]

"Order to say" what

[limber pagoda]

Basically the user says !repeat heeeeh GA we

[vale wing]

🫦🦶

[limber pagoda]

Bot replies heeeh GA we

[vale wing]

Make an arg and send the arg

async def say(ctx, *, stuff):
    await ctx.send(stuff)```

[tough lance]

How to use slash subcommands in cogs? (disnake)

[loud junco]

can u recommend me some tutorial about connecting discord bot to online database

[maiden fable]

Then I will ask
"how do I use a json file as a database"

[hot cobalt]

Can't say I know of any, I'm sure there's plenty of tutorials out there for using sqlite and other things

[loud junco]

erm ok

[vocal aspen]

Couple months ago I helped develop an AI chat bot that utilized OpenAI's GPT-3 and implemented it into discord. So far it's doing pretty well

[maiden fable]

Nice
But the credits offered are hella limited, I also tried

[vocal aspen]

Credits?

[maiden fable]

Yea, when I tried it, it was still in Closed Beta and u were offered a limited amount of credits, which are used to generate responses. Once those are finished, u gotta buy them to keep using the AI

[vocal aspen]

I think I know what you're talking about. The only thing I regularly pay for are the servers to upkeep the bot so I'm not sure if that's still a thing

Would you be interested in trying out the bot though?

[slate swan]

is it on_guild_channel_add or on_guild_channel_create ?

[silent ridge]

does anyone know why after 3/4 minutes my bot doesn’t verify anymore?

my bot is still running (online status) so I don’t understand it

[ripe blaze]

Is there a way to get invited users through an invite link?

[zealous jay]

Who joined using that url?

[ripe blaze]

yeah

is that possible?

[zealous jay]

maybe you can get the invite url that was used when a new user joins your server

if not you could save invites and how many times they were used and when a user joins check which invite has been updated

@sick birch I just thought about it. Could I maybe access the buffer where all the bot's execution orders are stored and remove certain ones?

[wispy trail]

how i manage cooldowns replies for individual commands in cogs?

[cloud dawn]

Either in the Cog per command error handler and catch the cooldown error or check the command in the main error handler.

[small sentinel]

can anyone rate my code's optimization ? I'm a noob and am looking towards writing nice code because I'm working on a very big project

variable names are in french so a french developer would understand way better

[cloud dawn]

I recommend coding in English.

[small sentinel]

that's a totally valid recommendation but since I started in french I'm a bit lazy to change everything to english

but you're right it's helpful in these kind of situations where I'm sharing code with foreigners

[cloud dawn]

When asking for help it's easier, the library is already English so now it's a mix of. Other than that I recommend typehinting.

    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.")

[cloud dawn]

Other than that I can't really recommend anything else since I have no clue what this does.

[small sentinel]

oh thanks

changed to

elif destination in ['chemin','route']:

[paper sluice]

Maybe space your code a little bit, leave like a line after a block of code

if ...:
  # ...
else:
  # ...

# rest of the code ...

[small sentinel]

okay will do

[small sentinel]

yeah understandable, it would be pretty long and annoying to explain tho

[white citrus]

Can someone help?

[silent portal]

Is there a on_channel_delete event or something like that?

[fallow mauve]

is there a way to make a discord bot start my aternos minecraft server by use of a command?

[glad cradle]

!d discord.on_guild_channel_delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_channel\_delete

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.

[silent portal]

ty

[vocal snow]

Likely not, since people would abuse that to unnecessarily keep servers online

[maiden fable]

Not by a module, but they can always scrape the website

!pypi python-aternos

[unkempt canyon]

python-aternos v2.1.2

An unofficial Aternos API

[maiden fable]

@fallow mauve

[vocal snow]

That definitely violates aternos tos

[maiden fable]

But then, its prolly against ToS

Idk I just saw someone using it

[fallow mauve]

what if i didnt use it against tos?

bcs i just need a way for my members to run my server when they wanna get on

i wouldnt be abusing it or anything

but idk if that would matter

[robust rune]

@fallow mauve Help

@full rampart Help please

[sick birch]

Please stop pinging random people

[warped mirage]

in on_member_join
    embed = discord.Embed(colour=0xFF00FF, description=f"Welcome to sever {member.name}. The current member count is {len(list(member.guild.members))}", timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1553629094))
AttributeError: type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'``` how can I fix?

[sick birch]

I think it's just datetime.utcfromtimestamp

You already have from datetime import datetime

[sick birch]

Still violates ToS regardless of what you do with it

Plus your bot is going to need a VPS anyway so just run your Minecraft server on it

2 in 1

[warped mirage]

so just py timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp()) ?

[keen dust]

timestamp = datetime.utcfromtimestamp()

[bright wedge]

bscly on import

[warped mirage]

Btw

embed.set_thumbnail(url=f"{member.avatar.url}")``` it says object has no url

[vocal snow]

then maybe member.avatar is None

use display_avatar

[warped mirage]

wouldn't member.avatar.icon.url work?

or should i do display_avatar

Oh yea it works its cuz a user didn't have a avatar, is it possible to make it ignore that error and just show no avatar or smth?

[silent portal]

member.display_avatar.url

it should display the default avatar aswell

[warped mirage]

ah ok

[fallow mauve]

ok thx anyway

[bright wedge]

i fixed it , i forget to enable the intents

in trying to jsonify how many times an user type the command using a listener

it has to log something like

How to host bot 24*7 free pls helppoo

Also ping if reply plis :)

[wintry shoal]

uh

[slate swan]

🗿

[wintry shoal]

u can't host reliably for free prob

[slate swan]

Wdym by unreliable

😔

[bright wedge]

free host is not trusted

[slate swan]

Like they gonna take over my bot and destroy servers or smthn?

[bright wedge]

its not trusted

here is some cheap hosts:
#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

Like they can?

I mean it's only me who uses the bot...👀

To like remind me to do stuff bcz im one forgetful little bitch

So i dont really need anything fancy unless the bot like goes offline every other day

Its not even in any server so atmost it'll just sabotage my dms or that one server we all have where we write random stuff like grocery lists and all

So i dont wanna spend moneh u feel me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bright wedge]

its 5$/month

[sick birch]

So just run the bot when you need it

Does it need to be online all the time?

[slate swan]

Yes

I mean like how else is it supposed to remind me to do stuff if i need to remember to turn it on to remind me ||duh🗿||

[slate swan]

Google Calendar is free if we see like that🥲

[faint mural]

Just get a raspberry as an one time investment

[slate swan]

Waht i just want someone to ping me why must that be so hectic lol😔

I don't earn atm legit living off my father's money so i cant spend on, well, anything at all tbh...🗿

[zealous jay]

How can I handle errors with d.py 2.0?

[sick birch]

Same as before

[zealous jay]

If i remember correctly it wasn't implemented before

I mean in the version that supports slash commands

[sick birch]

Ohhh

Thought you meant prefix commands error handling

I think for the majority of the part it's the same

[zealous jay]

Is there any example?

[shrewd apex]

it is if u are using the run method if u are using start method u have to setup ur own logger or use discord.utils.setup_logging iirc

[slate swan]

Sorry, I have no plans on helping here as people have personal problems for unknown reasons and do not believe I help anyone or contribute to anything. They also go on and insult you in your back for no reasons, and I'd rather not have to interact with such type of people or see them while "helping" (apparently I don't) others.

Hence I won't help anymore, so that these people are happy.

i tried emoji.demojize(variable) and emoji.emojize(variable, language='alias') and niether seem to work :/

nvm, I just ended up using regular expression to filter it out lol

[wintry shoal]

anyone know why it won't mention the user and why it displays that at the start?

[fading marlin]

for the first one, you're probably not using the mention property. For the second one, you're passing an interaction object for whatever reason

result[0] apparently is a tuple

read the error :)

[wintry shoal]

alright i fixed the mention but can't figure out the other

[fading marlin]

no? that's the exact same thing as int(result[0]) and will throw the same exception. int returns an integer, as in a number, not a string. You should check why result[0] is a tuple instead of whatever you want it to be, or maybe you forgot that result is a nested tuple

[wintry shoal]

i may be wrong, but i think where you have
if result is None
maybe do
if result = None
cause that's what i use

[fading marlin]

you're probably doing something like

await interaction.response.send_message(f"{interaction} ...")

[wintry shoal]

i don't see one..

What I wanted to make: When someone type those things on chat or dm he has to add +1 to 2 diff categories (if .cumpara has to add +1 to cumpara and the same thing for .anuleaza) but I'm getting errors trying to store info (also it has to autogenerate if theres nothing)

[fading marlin]

why are you subclassing client and not using that class at all?

[fading marlin]

take a look at the first bit of the string and see if you spot something off

[wintry shoal]

what does ctx mean?

i literally began discord bots today sry

[fading marlin]

don't use JSON as a database

[bitter jewel]

context ig

[bitter jewel]

why notttttt.. is just about 4 users

[wintry shoal]

oh okay ty

[bitter jewel]

a database will just make it more complicated at that point fr

[fading marlin]

you sure it printed absolutely nothing? did it print some empty parenthesis ()?

[fading marlin]

with a database, issues like these don't tend to happen. Either way, if you really want to know, your JSON file is probably not formatted correctly

[bitter jewel]

i dont even have my json file formatted

isnt that supposed to auto generate?

[fading marlin]

no

[wintry shoal]

ohh i see my mistake
it's the {ctx} in the formatted string causing the weird message

[fading marlin]

you should print it before trying to get the role, not after, otherwise you're gonna get an error and the print statement won't get executed

[wintry shoal]

thanks guys :)

[fading marlin]

correct

[bitter jewel]

what lib i should use for mongo database

consider sqlite/postsgres. But yeah, pymongo would do I guess, though I'd look for an async driver if I were you

[bitter jewel]

im hosting a server with mariadb but i dont wanna waste time making it remote just for that idiot bot

at that point ill just giveup with that ig

[fading marlin]

from_message is a classmethod, you've got no reason to do that if you're already instantiating a new view class

that's a tuple with an integer inside of it

[fading marlin]

um, ok? what's your point?

[bitter jewel]

is just using 5sim api trying to make an account for multiple persons and log their activity

thru api

[fading marlin]

well, I'm assuming you know what a tuple is, so I don't think you really need my help

[white citrus]

What you mean?

[fading marlin]

so, what's your issue now?

[fading marlin]

why are you calling View.from_message?

[bitter jewel]

i cant log their activity

[white citrus]

Because i want to edit the Button after it is pressed

[wintry shoal]

how do i turn my ban message into an embed then?

[bitter jewel]

i mean i can manually but im losing time at that point fr

[fading marlin]

correct, and you can access the contents inside the tuple how?

you probably want an integer instead of a string

[fading marlin]

that's not how you do it. You have to pass in the current instance of the class as your new view when you edit the message

[white citrus]

And how?

[fading marlin]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send (checkout the embed kwarg). Fwiw you should try not making ban commands, Discord already does this, so there's really no point. Anywho, if you want your message to be an embed, you need to pass an Embed object to the embed kwarg in whatever method you're using the reply

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[fading marlin]

no, result[0] returns a tuple, you gotta index the tuple returned by result[0]

[wintry shoal]

i am just practicing with ban command

[fading marlin]

set view to self when you edit your message? cause self if your current instance

[white citrus]

Yes, I had that at the beginning too, but it didn't work and then I was told that I should use from_message, that the view will only be defined later

[bitter jewel]

how can i send message to a specified user?

[white citrus]

Via dm?

[fading marlin]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-send-a-dm

[wintry shoal]

hmm
where's the syntax error
embed = discord.Embed(title="Banned Successfully.", description="<@!{member.id}> got banned for {reason}", color=discord.Color.random())

[bitter jewel]

ye

[white citrus]

member.send

[fading marlin]

could you show your full code?

[fading marlin]

your description isn't an f-string

[white citrus]

Is this Not enough what i send?

[white citrus]

[fading marlin]

wdym?

[wintry shoal]

still doesn't work somehow

[white citrus]

If not do you have the paste command? @fading marlin

[fading marlin]

oh, wait, that's in a Button subclass isn't it?

hell nah

[fading marlin]

bot.get_user or ctx.guild.get_member

also, get isn't a coroutine

[white citrus]

The button is in the same class like the command

[wintry shoal]

it says that the line is invalid syntax in the console

[fading marlin]

I am telling you how. Index the first item

[fading marlin]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[fading marlin]

could you send the traceback?

[white citrus]

Only the command or the whole cog

[fading marlin]

the command should be just fine I guess

javascript can do that..

[fading marlin]

this isn't javascript lmao

you gotta cast ctx.author.id to str

[bitter jewel]

thanks

[fading marlin]

it'd be better if you'd just subclass ui.View instead of doing all of this mess

[white citrus]

I know but subclass i also a mess xD

[fading marlin]

it'd be a lot simpler to accomplish what you're looking to do. If you need examples: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

[white citrus]

So you cant help me in this case

[fading marlin]

this just isn't a good implementation, that's all.
You're trying to call a class instance for some reason? (line 62). You should pass just e_view to your new view like you do in line 67. Also, you have to respond to interactions, so use interaction.response.edit_message instead of what you currently have

[violet kraken]

is there a way to make custom emojis bigger in embeds?

[fading marlin]

text-wise? no

[violet kraken]

what is that

[fading marlin]

description, field values (you can't have mentions/emojis anywhere else)

[violet kraken]

oh yea

so no way to makeit bigger

[fading marlin]

unless you use an image, no

[violet kraken]

hmm image, i don't know how it would work since i need to use multiple of them mixed with text

[fading marlin]

generate the text on top of an image and edit emoji sizes yeah, you'll have to stick with the size

[violet kraken]

damn

this is literally supposed to be x128 high but looks like 50

[fading marlin]

that looks really neat

[white citrus]

How should it looks l?

[quiet bronze]

Is it possible to make python send messages with your own account?

so no bot that does it with an command. But if you run your code it sends "hello" from your account for example

[sick birch]

This is self botting and in violation of discord terms of service agreement and in regulation with rule 5 we will not provide assistance here

[quiet bronze]

ah okay, was trying to make an AI respont for you on discord, whatsapp etc but didnt know it was against their terms of service

[quiet bronze]

is it also against the terms to check the message you received in python?

[slate swan]

help

[sick birch]

Any sort of user account automation is considered self botting

[sick birch]

Did you install discord.py?

[slate swan]

yes

pip install discord.py ?

[sick birch]

Is the version you installed it on the same as the python version?

Perhaps try a venv to avoid confusion?

[quiet bronze]

ah fuck, well thanks for saying it before I did something wrong haha

[slate swan]

I am a beginner in Python

@sick birch

[sick birch]

!venv

[unkempt canyon]

Virtual Environments

Virtual environments are isolated Python environments, which make it easier to keep your system clean and manage dependencies. By default, when activated, only libraries and scripts installed in the virtual environment are accessible, preventing cross-project dependency conflicts, and allowing easy isolation of requirements.

To create a new virtual environment, you can use the standard library venv module: python3 -m venv .venv (replace python3 with python or py on Windows)

Then, to activate the new virtual environment:

Windows (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
or (Command Prompt): .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
MacOS / Linux (Bash): source .venv/bin/activate

Packages can then be installed to the virtual environment using pip, as normal.

For more information, take a read of the documentation. If you run code through your editor, check its documentation on how to make it use your virtual environment. For example, see the VSCode or PyCharm docs.

Tools such as poetry and pipenv can manage the creation of virtual environments as well as project dependencies, making packaging and installing your project easier.

Note: When using Windows PowerShell, you may need to change the execution policy first. This is only required once:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

[sick birch]

Try creating a venv

[prisma prism]

is it against terms of service if My bot is designed to PM a user if/when they receive a warning in a server that they are in?

[sick birch]

Nope. @unkempt canyon does this

message.author is a discord.User for some reason

If channel is a private channel or the user has the left the guild, then it is a User instead.

[austere vale]

so i gotta change it to a public channel?

[scarlet linden]

i dont get it tho

[sick birch]

You need to use the command in a public channel, yes

[scarlet linden]

from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands

    def init(self):

how would that change the fact that member and reason is undefined

[fading marlin]

because of your scope

[scarlet linden]

oh lol

[austere vale]

thank u robin

wait, is there a way to change the code and bypass this so that it will take effect whether its public channel or not

[scarlet linden]

is this a bug

wont let me pick certain ones

[fading marlin]

you can check if message.author is an instance of discord.User using isinstance, if it's not, you can probably get roles attribute

[fading marlin]

no, not that scope, see https://realpython.com/python-scope-legb-rule/

[sick birch]

You kinda can

There are a few reasons that it's a discord.User:

• Private channel in a guild
• User left
• Message is in a DM channel

You can only get .roles if it's in a private channel

[austere vale]

maybe instead of checking if they have a role, i can check if they have admin permissions?

[sick birch]

You could try something like:

try:
  roles = message.author.roles
except:
  # handle error here

[slate swan]

because we care about looks > personality

[slate swan]

agreed

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    for i in range(25):
      self.add_item(Button(label=f"{i}"))

how would i make a callback for each one of these buttons?

[sick birch]

You would subclass button and each would have callback

[waxen igloo]

how would i make the bot send a error whenever the wrong grouped sub command is provided

[slate swan]

What is the easiest way to have a user specific cooldown

[prisma prism]

Can someone please help me with discord.py?
I'm trying to send a private message but it just displays the message in chat, not as a PM.

await ctx.send(user, embed=embed2)

here is my code

[sick birch]

ctx.send() sends the message in the same place you use the command

so if you use the command in a guild channel it'll send in the same guild channel, if you use it in a DM it'll send in a DM

[prisma prism]

ah ok

how do I make it send as DM from wherever

await user.send(embed=embed2)

Figured it out 🙂

@little lava Per Rule 6, your invite link has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

you can just omit the link and put in a placeholder

        await ctx.delete()
        await ctx.channel.send(f"{ctx.author.mention} Please don't post invite links here!")


client.run("TOKEN")```

XD yes i want that

code seems ok but the bot not working with <Administrator> permission

[slate swan]

more than likely missing perms to manage messages or send messages in that channel

[little lava]

I just tested few things and found that the bot cannot detect the URLs..

if ctx.content.startswith("https://"): # Here

im googling now, but did not found correct answer yet

[slate swan]

bots most definitely can detect links

[little lava]

is there another method to detect the URL?
other than ctx.content.startswith ?
it seems only detect words.. not URL.

[vale wing]

Use regex

That's a bit of complex topic, you need to take some tutorials

[south coyote]

is it really possible to merge two json files without getting a brick?

[little lava]

I found some information about this and trying now!, thank you for the information!

[vale wing]

For what

[vale wing]

You can do it just by replacing last } in first file with , and removing the first { in second file, then merge them

Although with this method you might get duplicated keys

Or by loading them both and merging with dict.update

Not sure why'd you need to do it at all

[slate swan]

my buttons stop working after a few minutes

even when the bot is online

anyone know why?

[scarlet linden]

@wintry shoal

[slate swan]

their not persistent

[stone field]

hello, how come this isnt working? @bot.command() async def convert(ctx, message): await ctx.send(f"{message}" / 125)

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int'

[slate swan]

because u are trying to divide and int and str

[stone field]

how would i fix it

[slate swan]

learn python basics

[stone field]

thanks i really appreciate the help in the python help server

[slate swan]

we are here to help not spoon feed code

this is also the discord bots help channel and ur issue lies within the basics of python not a didscord bot

[stone field]

i figured it out 🙄 @bot.command() async def convert(ctx, message): robux = message divide = 125 result = float(robux) / divide await ctx.send(result)

[slate swan]

nah dude, i found the fix, it was the timeout

[slate swan]

you cannot divide a string

[stone field]

yeah ik now lol, i figured it out

[slate swan]

if you want to divide it should be a int not a string

[slate swan]

There's a difference between help and spoon feed

[stone field]

.

[slate swan]

you made it more complex lol

Yes, but since it's a simple error it tells me that you don't know basic python

[stone field]

wasnt really talking to you but ok go off

[stone field]

eh it works lol

[slate swan]

🤓

[slate swan]

Not the point

💀🤓

This kid I swear

[slate swan]

it's never gonna help you learn if you keep coding like that lol

They will do everything but learn python

[stone field]

idc how complex it is as long is works

[slate swan]

yes lol thats what makes a button persistent. timeout is None, and custom_id

[slate swan]

🤦 ok

[slate swan]

i don't think i really need a custom_id

yes you do?

[slate swan]

So if a car drives but it crashes into a wall it doesn't matter since it works

how do you expect the lib to find the button lol

[stone field]

no way youre still talking

[slate swan]

No way you still play fortnite

i haven't gotten any error without the custom_id

i'll add a custom id if i come upon a bug

you asking someone that you just insulted what a float is?

how ironic

[slate swan]

Damn ur cat vaping

[rugged shadow]

yea

he be on that shi

[slate swan]

Bro i dont want to get banned, we should go to #ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

[rugged shadow]

anyway

@slate swan mind telling me if you know what a float is? lmao

maybe if you told a potentially new coder what they were trying to do with the code instead of just "learn python basics"

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

for one this is a discord bot channel. not a python basics channel, two you shouldn't feed people code. three he started trolling the second I told him to learn python basics if you don't understand why you cant divide an INT and a STR

this also isn't the place for "new coders" you shouldn't be creating discord bots if you are a "new coder"

can you show your actual code logic.

from what u pasted its out of order

and confusing

https://pastebin.com/tMgz8DyJ

yea you are iterating through data and assigning values then you exit the for statement without adding the values to the embed so the last iteration is what is used

mmh

and how can I change that?

you need to add the embed fields in your first for statement

you are also duplicating code

you can just

embed.add_field(name=retailer['retailer']['retailler_name'], value=....)

and request are blocking. aiohttp would better suit you

[slate swan]

u don't define it anywhere

[maiden fable]

Seems like come is a dict, not a list/tuple

[jagged widget]

there is no error but bot is not replying

[paper sluice]

its channel.send not channel.sent

[upbeat gust]

Using dpy 2.0 and not getting any errors? This is on purpose, the library now uses logging to send errors but only if you're using Client/Bot.run. More about that in ?tag defaultlogging.

It's recommended to setup logging yourself if you aren't using .run or use the utils.setup_logging helper function: just put discord.utils.setup_logging() anywhere in your running file. Docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.utils.setup_logging

but I can't use Client/Bot.run!
You can! You can load cogs and do other stuff in the newly added setup_hook method that is called once after the bot logs in, more about that and how to implement it in ?tag setuphook.

[upbeat gust]

You should also be using an async lib for sqlite, such as asqlite or aiosqlite

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

[vocal snow]

Did you not understand the error

Read the last line of the error

You're trying to convert that string to an int

Like doing int("abc") which makes no sense

get_channel needs a channel id

You need to figure out where you're storing that

Yes but where in the tuple

You're selecting msg, channelID

So your tuple will also be (msg, channelID)

Nonononon

Don't do that lmaoo

Go back to your old code

You already have the channel id

It's the second item in the tuple

So just use come[1] instead

In python you can access elements of a tuple and list with their index, starting from 0

!e ```py
data = ("message", 12345)
print(data[0])
print(data[1])

[unkempt canyon]

@vocal snow :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | message
002 | 12345

[lucid galleon]

why i am getting this error? RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

[vocal snow]

Can you send the full traceback?

[lucid galleon]

@vocal snow how to send full traceback?

[dull terrace]

Should be zero because you'll have one result

But if it's saying key error that means it has zero results for that guild and you need to make sure the channel ID is saved for that guild

If there are no results for that guild id itll return None

[honest laurel]

@slate swan Learn how to debug, even simple print(come) would work 😉

Well, it would be better if you check what your variable actually contains

[lucid galleon]

I need a help

[honest laurel]

{'msg': '%member hello', 'channelID': 1013088096633499708} your variable clearly does not have 0 or 1 keys

[honest laurel]

Which discord version?

[slate swan]

hello, has anyone got an example for slash commands with the new discord 2.0

[lucid galleon]

it's 2.0.1

[honest laurel]

Can you share full traceback?

[lucid galleon]

how can i send to you?

[honest laurel]

ctrl-c ctrl-v

[lucid galleon]

will it be safe here?

[honest laurel]

It depends

Learn how to use dictionaries

[vocal snow]

no, you need to learn to use dictionaries

it's already a dict, why are you casting it to a dict

[little lava]

This is a bot that detect the URLs and remove URLs then finally send warning to the text channel.

it does not show any errors and not even detecting a word.

any advises?

[cloud dawn]

Well this error is a bit harder tough doctor.

The user most likely used the all function on the intents object

[vocal snow]

you need message content intents

[honest laurel]

Yep, they need to add correct intents to their application, but you should at least read and try to understand your errors

[lucid galleon]

I enabled it as given in docs but it isn't working. Same error

[honest laurel]

intents.message_content = True But you don't have message content intent enabled

[lucid galleon]

It's working. Thanks

[cloud dawn]

I also recommend setting the right event policy no one wants to see event loop closed on every error lol

[honest laurel]

It's generally ok, bot would catch all exceptions from user code/handlers anyway

[cloud dawn]

True but it does look nicer.

[little lava]

Thank you! will try it.

[honest laurel]

Weirdly enough I don't get the same stacktrace

[stone field]

hi, how do i make it say the entire message and not just the first word?

async def say(ctx, message):
    if message == "@everyone":
        await ctx.send("Nice try buddy")
        return
    if message == "@here":
        await ctx.send("Nice try buddy")
        return
    await ctx.send(message)```

[sick birch]

Use ctx, *, message

[stone field]

okay let me try that

perfect tyvm

[stone field]

how would i make it so that it reads 2 inputs? ik this probably isnt right but i put message2 to kinda make sense of what im trynna askasync def remind(ctx, *, message): await ctx.send(f"Reminding you about `{message}` in {message2} seconds.")

ig nobody got idea whats happening

[vocal snow]

you're passing a function to check_whitelist

where are you calling check_whitelist

[stone field]

@vocal snow can you help me with this?

[vocal snow]

you could take the seconds first and then the message later

async def remind(ctx, time: int, *, message: str):
    ...

[stone field]

so for example if i typed "$remind feed cat 600" and i want it to respond "Reminding you about feed cat in 600 seconds" how would i do that

@vocal snow

[vocal snow]

I wouldn't recommend doing this since parsing this is harder than just taking the seconds first

[stone field]

so i could do "$remind 600 feed cat" with this

[vocal snow]

no, you do $remind 600 feed cat

[stone field]

yeah

[vocal snow]

or you could do $remind "feed cat" 600

[stone field]

how would i make it sleep for 600 seconds though

then do the await ctx.send

[bitter jewel]

def check_whitelist(ctx):
    with open('users.txt') as f: 
        if str(ctx.author.id) in f.read():
            return ctx.author.id

@bot.check(check_whitelist)

[vocal snow]

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Deprecated since version 3.8, removed in version 3.10: The `loop` parameter. This function has been implicitly getting the current running loop since 3.7. See [What’s New in 3.10’s Removed section](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#whatsnew310-removed) for more information.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[vocal snow]

oh i didnt see that

but that's not how you use it

you want it to be a global check right?

it should apply to all commands

[bitter jewel]

no

just to that one

[vocal snow]

then you should use discord.ext.commands.check

[bitter jewel]

like @bot.discord.ext.commands.check?

[vocal snow]

no

from discord.ext import commands

@bot.command()
@commands.check(...)
...

[bitter jewel]

i did that ig

https://cdn.mwah.ro/G5ruKztbTu8H6DXrxwsHkyh5EJpgR8lJcBAd6vpdwyRWbK8XWDkRfFQHx5RtZ0hA1PATIrCJVKD6qVZy6YFc7UVPHByI1ALC1m6jKrRknFDeesucRmdP5zUX1bf0CW/5dtYAvx7MGCkWjx5CAdQv3n4tnSBtxCZ5TUO8YCRApBHRf1pkfgxmpDs6ZKqAIisB9TbwQC5g9R9t4uaKmvDvavatjXcHmUYmTDL7D2YFXbbZFnzDtLcvoHp6Mzve0.png

[vocal snow]

yeah so now use @commands.check(check_whitelist)

not @bot.check

[simple kettle]

Why do discord bots need message content intents to respond to commands?

[vocal snow]

because to see a text command you need to see the text

[hushed galleon]

discord does provide content to bots for DMs and messages that mention them, so you're not completely ruined if you dont have the intent

[cloud dawn]

Anyone has a good button interaction paginator? I uhm yes.

[hushed galleon]

i wrote one as part of my bot, and tbf i should probably turn it into a package eventually

[simple kettle]

Alright thanks y’all I need to verify my bot and it’s asking why I need it

[vocal snow]

you should switch to slash commands

[simple kettle]

I’m not sure how to do slash commands

[hushed galleon]

unfortunately they wont accept "text commands" as a reason for getting message content iirc

[vocal snow]

they won't give you message content intents if you don't have a valid reason (and text commands aren't a valid reason unfortunately)

[vocal snow]

are you using discord.py?

[simple kettle]

Yeah

That’s so dumb tho

[vocal snow]

the latest version?

[simple kettle]

Nope

[cloud dawn]

Stable version has slash commands too.

[vocal snow]

yeah thats what i mean

anything after 1.7.3

[cloud dawn]

Could I "borrow" some inspiration?

[simple kettle]

Won’t I have to change almost all my code?

[vocal snow]

not really

[simple kettle]

How do you make slash commands

[vocal snow]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py

or https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32

[simple kettle]

Ok I guess that does not look too bad

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html

for the other changes

[simple kettle]

So I’m a little confused will I not be able to have text commands

[vocal snow]

no, only app commands like slash commands or context menus

[simple kettle]

Cause I still want that so I need message content intent

[cloud dawn]

If you want a public bot, no. If you want a private bot, yes.

[simple kettle]

That’s crazy

[vocal snow]

it's for privacy reasons

[cloud dawn]

That's called 3th party user.

[simple kettle]

So should I remove text commands?

[cloud dawn]

If you want a public bot, yes.

[simple kettle]

Dang ok

[hushed galleon]

its under an open source license so go ahead, the documentation isnt comprehensive but i can point to a few examples
https://github.com/thegamecracks/thegamebot/blob/v2/bot/utils/paging.py
example 1: https://github.com/thegamecracks/thegamebot/blob/v2/bot/cogs/helpcommand.py#L220
example 2: https://github.com/thegamecracks/thegamebot/blob/v2/bot/cogs/tags/__init__.py#L357
demo:

[cloud dawn]

Holy, can I kiss you?

👀

[hushed galleon]

i havent made the buttons customizable either but you can edit the source/subclass if you want that

[cloud dawn]

🡺 I like these navigation arrows :3

[hushed galleon]

if you know of the older discord-ext-menus package (reaction-based) it works somewhat similarly with different sources you can use

[simple kettle]

Can I no longer get ctx from commends

[vocal snow]

there is a Context.from_interaction i think

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.from_interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.from\_interaction

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

Creates a context from a [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction"). This only works on application command based interactions, such as slash commands or context menus.

On slash command based interactions this creates a synthetic [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") that points to an ephemeral message that the command invoker has executed. This means that [`Context.author`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.author "discord.ext.commands.Context.author") returns the member that invoked the command.

In a message context menu based interaction, the [`Context.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.message "discord.ext.commands.Context.message") attribute is the message that the command is being executed on. This means that [`Context.author`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.author "discord.ext.commands.Context.author") returns the author of the message being targetted. To get the member that invoked the command then [`discord.Interaction.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.user "discord.Interaction.user") should be used instead.

New in version 2.0.

[simple kettle]

Alright thanks

Is version 2.0 official?

[vocal snow]

it's stable, yes

[cloud dawn]

Honestly I'm having a hard time understanding the code, as far as I can tell this was meant to be text based only.

I've already got a list of embeds passing them is pure pain.

[slate swan]

help me make a nuker

😁

but restores all channels on 1 command

[cloud dawn]

Even if someone were to help, theoretically speaking, how does one "restore" a channel?

[hushed galleon]

its similar to discord-ext-menus in that you're meant to subclass one of the PageSource classes and implement a format_page method that returns either a string, Embed, or dict with content/embed keys

you'll see the subclassed page sources inside my two examples

[cloud dawn]

So instead of embeds I'm passing a list of page sources?

[hushed galleon]

for the regular "pagination" usage you only need one ListPageSource in your case

there's two features to it, one is pagination and the other is navigation

navigation allows PageSources to return other PageSources, and when the user navigates to one of those sources it's added onto the PaginatorView.sources stack

aka nested pages

[cloud dawn]

I tried using ListPageSource but I need to define page_size but embeds don't have a page size.

[hushed galleon]

oh right, its meant to take a list of stuff and then chunk it into sublists for format_page to format it as an embed

[cloud dawn]

So it is text based 😂

[hushed galleon]

wdym

[cloud dawn]

I can't pass embeds I need to pass text and use format_page to make the embed.

[hushed galleon]

you can pass anything you want in the list

[cloud dawn]

But not a list of Embeds.

[hushed galleon]

sure you can

[cloud dawn]

Then I'm doing something very wrong.

[hushed galleon]

it can be as simple as this: ```py
class PassThroughPageSource(
ListPageSource[discord.Embed, None, PaginatorView]
): # list[E] S V
# first one specifies the type of each element
# in the list
def init(self, embeds: list[discord.Embed]):
super().init(embeds, page_size=1)

def format_page(self, view: PaginatorView, page: list[discord.Embed]):
    return page[0]

Usage:

view = PaginatorView(sources=PassThroughPageSource(embed_list))
await view.start(inter_or_channel)```

[rigid hare]

before i give myself a headache trying in vain,,

is it possible to load a cog, from within a cog?

[hushed galleon]

yes, although thats not a common use case

[slate swan]

You didn't win lmao your a broke 10 year old living under ur mums roof

[hushed galleon]

personally for my multi-cog extensions i use setup() to load the cogs

[cloud dawn]

Hm I need to look this trough.

[rigid hare]

im working remotely, and just because i know for a fact i'd lose an SSH session somehwere, im running the bot on tty2 for ease of use sake, and i don't wanna have to go and VNC into my KVM in the event that i want to add a cog in the future

[hollow badger]

Please be respectful towards other members.

[rigid hare]

so i was just going to have a skeleton main.py with a reload command, that reloads a main cog where i actually set up all my cogs and keep everything organised

does it react to anything with skeleton in it? lmao

[hushed galleon]

you could use the jishaku package from pypi, its got several management commands including load/unload for reloading extensions on the fly

[rigid hare]

guess so hahaha

[slate swan]

I'm matching his energy

[hollow badger]

I don't care.

[rigid hare]

isn't that just essentially what cogs are?

[hushed galleon]

cogs and extensions are very different

[cloud dawn]

Actually just class PassThroughPageSource(ListPageSource): Too many arg error since class ListPageSource(PageSource[list[E], S, V]):

[hushed galleon]

extensions allow code to be hot-reloaded, while cogs are merely how you organize listeners/commands together

[hollow badger]

If you have a problem with another member you have several options:

• ignore them
• block them
• report them via ModMail
• any/all of the above

You do not need to cause further disruption by "matching their energy".

The same applies to everyone.

[hushed galleon]

maybe i should have also made it generic too...

adding generic types for it has been quite confusing to do

[cloud dawn]

Maybe.. anyways thanks for the info I just recently started with views.

[mental hollow]

I know this would work for prefixed commands but would this work for slash like shown below?

access = [836895718563250196, 831118106876969021]
@bot.event
async def on_message(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, message: discord.Message):
    if not ctx.author.id in access:
        return await ctx.respond("Only a few people have access to this bot. Kindly use @MusicBot")
    else:
        pass
    await bot.process_commands(message)

[shrewd apex]

slash commands dont send a message do they it triggers a webhook iirc

[mental hollow]

really?

[split nest]

is there a way that a bot can recognize voices

[cloud dawn]

Why not, I was actually thinking about making voice attack for specific events lol

[obtuse blaze]

!paste

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/lefiqiqexu

code is kinda rly bad atm could anyone give me opinion on how to improve + it has a lot of flaws but idk how to make it another way

[cursive spindle]

is there anyway to make a python program for run 3-4 bots, i mean the program run the same code for theses 4 bots.

all this one loop

[shrewd apex]

yes i suppose u could prolly run 4 diff instances of bot in 4 diff threads coz the only thing changing would be the token

altho i dont see the use case

[shrewd apex]

u could use a single db connection instance through ur bot instead of making multiple connections over the code

[lucid galleon]

it is not working but why?@bot.command(name="ping") async def test_msg(ctx): await ctx.send("pong")

[obtuse blaze]

I only make 1 connection
