[obtuse blaze]

my problem is always using a = 0
a +=1

if it makes sense

[shrewd apex]

i saw a connection to db.db in the function

[obtuse blaze]

oh ye

but it was told to me I always need to open them and close inside commands etc

for security purposes

[shrewd apex]

nah

use enumerate for the a = 0 and +1

!d enumerate

[unkempt canyon]

enumerate

enumerate(iterable, start=0)```
Return an enumerate object. *iterable* must be a sequence, an [iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-iterator), or some other object which supports iteration. The [`__next__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#iterator.__next__ "iterator.__next__") method of the iterator returned by [`enumerate()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#enumerate "enumerate") returns a tuple containing a count (from *start* which defaults to 0) and the values obtained from iterating over *iterable*.

```py
>>> seasons = ['Spring', 'Summer', 'Fall', 'Winter']
>>> list(enumerate(seasons))
[(0, 'Spring'), (1, 'Summer'), (2, 'Fall'), (3, 'Winter')]
>>> list(enumerate(seasons, start=1))
[(1, 'Spring'), (2, 'Summer'), (3, 'Fall'), (4, 'Winter')]
```  Equivalent to...

[shrewd apex]

also just create a pool enable auto commit to save a few lines of code

[lucid galleon]

any help?

[obtuse blaze]

how could I do that?

[shrewd apex]

just a sec lemme check docs i have used asyncpg and aiomysql not sure abt aiosqlite lemme check

yeah i don't think there is a pool for aiosqlite u can use a context manager https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53908615/reusing-aiosqlite-connection

too less context to find out

[lucid galleon]

I'm not getting

[shrewd apex]

send more code

[lucid galleon]

ok

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


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

@bot.command(name="ping")
async def test_msg(ctx):
    await ctx.send("pong")

bot.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

[obtuse blaze]

btw this line

await con.execute("UPDATE character_items SET item_quantity = item_quantity - ? WHERE item_ID = ? AND character_ID = ?",(int(quantity_item[a][a] * int(self.quantity.value[0])),quantity_item[a][a+1],interaction.user.id,))```
is not commiting for some reason the values that its sending is 10,5,id 
all matches on db but still doesn't update ![ThonkSpin](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/460087594865131531.webp?size=128 "ThonkSpin")

[shrewd apex]

are the intents in ur dev portal enabled?

[lucid galleon]

yup!

This one is perfectly working```
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == bot.user:
return

if message.content.startswith('hello'):
    await message.channel.send('Hello!')

[shrewd apex]

bru

add await bot.process_commands(message)

last line of the on_message event

[chilly dove]

or change event to listen

[shrewd apex]

u have an error handler?

[obtuse blaze]

thats the problem

there is no error

[shrewd apex]

is this inside some view? and did u use start method to start the bot with no logger setup?

[obtuse blaze]

inside modal

but its strange bcs all other queries above work

[shrewd apex]

definitely some error

add it in a try except and print

and setup a logger

coz on_command_error dosent catch interaction errors iirc

[lucid galleon]

now commands is working but message aren't

[chilly dove]

did you add () at the end of listen?

[shrewd apex]

can u show me ur on message event

[obtuse blaze]

 for i in quantity_item:
            try:
              await con.execute("UPDATE character_items SET item_quantity = item_quantity - ? WHERE item_ID = ? AND character_ID = ?",(quantity_item[a][a] * int(self.quantity.value[0]),quantity_item[a][a+1],interaction.user.id,))
              await con.execute("INSERT INTO character_items (character_id,item_ID,item_quantity) VALUES (?,?,?) ON CONFLICT (character_ID,item_ID) DO UPDATE SET item_quantity = item_quantity + ?",(interaction.user.id,quantity_item[a][a+1],int(quantity_item[a][a]) * int(self.quantity.value[0]),int(quantity_item[a][a]) * int(self.quantity.value[0]),))
              await con.commit()
            except:
                raise Exception("An error occured while crafting!")

I did this try catch rq and still no error

[shrewd apex]

except Exception as e:
print(e)

[lucid galleon]

it's working

[shrewd apex]

🎉

[obtuse blaze]

still nothing

[shrewd apex]

check ur db again

[obtuse blaze]

db not updating it should add item to inv not adding nor removing

[shrewd apex]

or use some arbitrary values instead to check

[shrewd apex]

then its not committing

[obtuse blaze]

imma put a checker under commit to check if it reaches tehre

it did

found problem

its second query

it does not raise error prob bcs it has ON Conflict

[shrewd apex]

fair enough

[obtuse blaze]

now trynna find the problem anyways tysm asher

[shrewd apex]

👍

[shrewd apex]

are u sure ur column names are correct? character_id and character_ID

[obtuse blaze]

mhm I found problem, a wrong value was being passed so it was not doing anything

[shrewd apex]

💐

[slate swan]

hello i have a problem and i cant resolve it

can someone help me ?

[shrewd apex]

if u put the actual question before a request for help u would have a better chance i suppose

[slate swan]

i cant start my bot

[chilly dove]

gotta reset your token now

[shrewd apex]

open ur discord go to applications page

[slate swan]

yes np

[shrewd apex]

open ur bot

[slate swan]

i just cretaed it for the screen

[shrewd apex]

go to bot settings page

[slate swan]

and next

[shrewd apex]

enable the intents

the little slider buttons

and save ur settings

[slate swan]

here ?

[shrewd apex]

yep

[slate swan]

i can put the 3?

or just one

[chilly dove]

probably enable all of them

then you can change default to all

[slate swan]

alr done

[chilly dove]

well there you go your bots online

[slate swan]

yes but it doesnt printed in the terminal

'on'

[chilly dove]

you didnt put a @

it needs to be @bot

[slate swan]

nvm i stupid

i just realized

thanks

!d discord.Colour

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour

class discord.Colour(value)```
Represents a Discord role colour. This class is similar to a (red, green, blue) [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)").

There is an alias for this called Color...

!d discord.Colour.random @bright wedge

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour.random

classmethod random(*, seed=None)```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour") with a random hue.

Note

The random algorithm works by choosing a colour with a random hue but with maxed out saturation and value.

New in version 1.6.

[sick birch]

There's a built in random method for you

[bright wedge]

oh

[shrewd apex]

anyone got any good leader board image template?

[honest shoal]

how much slots

[shrewd apex]

umm 10 around is fine

5 is also ok

[bright wedge]

thank you!

[honest shoal]

how's this

and this

[shrewd apex]

nice but are these under mit or cc license

[honest shoal]

free license

[shrewd apex]

oh fine then thanks

[slate swan]

Is it possible to make the bot answer a hello without the person having put an prefix in front of it?

[honest shoal]

yes, on_message event

[slate swan]

ill look in the documentation

[honest shoal]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[sick birch]

Are you using pycord?

[gritty canopy]

i honestly have no clue

thats what i use

[sick birch]

First step is to figure out what you're using

[sick birch]

This doesn't show anything

[gritty canopy]

wdym what im using

[shrewd apex]

pycord 90% sure

[sick birch]

What library did you use as you were coding the bot?

[shrewd apex]

i think its cloned from a git repo

[sick birch]

Pycord.. discordpy... disnake..?

[gritty canopy]

i bought the bot but they was using visual studio to code it all

[shrewd apex]

...

hmm boostbot 👀

plus the whole situation looks sus

[sick birch]

No wonder it looks terribly written

No offense I mean

[gritty canopy]

nah the guy who i bought it from like it works for him but not for me

[sick birch]

Generally buying discord bots are scams

[shrewd apex]

^^

[gritty canopy]

thats the line thats erord

[sick birch]

But the cause of the issue is probably a pycord and discord.py conflicting install

[shrewd apex]

first of all u need to figure out what module is being used second if u have the module installed in your env

[sick birch]

Not sure why the person making the bot decided to use a subpar library like pycord.. but it's there

[shrewd apex]

i mean i never knew people were ready to pay for bots 👀

[sick birch]

Me neither lol

I suppose that's a thing people do

[slate swan]

i dont understand how u expect ppl who have no coding knowledge or time to learn to get their own bots and people definitely are not going to use their time for free to make them for them

[gritty canopy]

true

[sick birch]

That's why bots like MEE6 or rhythm exist

Well not rhythm I guess

< insert popular discord bot here >

[slate swan]

wdym? those bots only do specific things

[sick birch]

They're meant to be general purpose

In fact YAGPDB stands for "yet another general purpose discord bot"

[slate swan]

to a certain extent yes

[sick birch]

The only reason I can think of people paying for their bots is to have it custom tailored to a very specific usecase

For all else you have your generic popular discord bot

[slate swan]

how can i check if the author is in a tempchannel already if they try to override the tempchannel settings with a vc which is already a tempchannel
is it necessary i commit the channel id and all in db, coz i dont really want to do that

[chilly dove]

depending on how long the temp channel lasts you could store the id in memory or have a naming convention in discord that identifies the channel

[shrewd apex]

its not that i am against buying or selling but thing is whatever u are buying or selling from uknown sources some pre requisite knowledge is necessary otherwise u have literally no idea what u are even buying

[shrewd apex]

no help with nukebots here

[slate swan]

if it was a nukebot, discord wouldnt verify it would it

just the name is nukebot, it doesnt really nuke servers

[shrewd apex]

oops my bad

[slate swan]

which there are more people out there like this than you would realize

[slate swan]

ig both of the options are a no

coz the tempchannel might last due to user's choice, and idk if any method exists in pycord to check if its a tempchannel or not

[slate swan]

well yea thats common sense, its your money your spending. I've "stolen" customers from people just because the other person had no clue wtf they were doing lmao

[slate swan]

wdym by temp channel?

[chilly dove]

i dont think discord has any sort of temp channel but they do have threads which you can use like one other then that you need a way to identify them

[slate swan]

a temporary voice channel which will be deleted once the user leaves that channel

yea i was about to say there is no such thing as a temp channel w discord api

[slate swan]

that would be fine, but i need to check if the author is in a temporary voice channel, and i have no idea how you do that without comitting it to db, since that seems like a lot of work

[slate swan]

or when they create a temp channel, name it their user and when they go to create another check for the channel they are connected too and if it matches their user then boom

[slate swan]

oh yess, you are a genius tysm

hello, I need help with a command.
let's say I create a recipe command I create a list of recipes 'pasta', 'cake' and with my bot discord when the order I give the recipe of the dish requested for example I want the recipe of the cake I do >recipe cake and it gives me the ingredients of the recipe and the same for >pasta but with the ingredients of the pasta and not the cake

use sub cmds

what does it means

[chilly dove]

you could store the ingredients as a bitmask then the recipe by using bitwise or then you can check using and

thats going into more general python tho then library

[slate swan]

I don't understand can you redirect me to the documentation or a video?

[chilly dove]

https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/18169 here is some general background on bitmasks

[shrewd apex]

just use an api for data

[slate swan]

lmao that is a little bit too much for something as simple as what he is trying to do

[chilly dove]

well they can ask for help in the normal help channels if they are confused

[meager chasm]

Why this when u can just use dictionary

[chilly dove]

more efficient both on memory and processing

[meager chasm]

How tho

Dict is just str: str mapping

Hashing str is not costly

[chilly dove]

you could but then you would be repeating ingredients per recipe

its also more concise and easier to understand with bitmask

at least code wise not the result without processing

[slate swan]

!dcosw

!code

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')

[vocal snow]

why are you typehinting muted to time? What is time?

[sick birch]

Getting philosophical?

[vocal snow]

haha out of context python is very philosophical

[languid sandal]

Hi, is it better a task loop with a minute delay or a while loop with an asyncio.sleep(60)?

[vocal snow]

task loop will give you the builtin control features such as being able to stop it and stuff

[languid sandal]

okay ^^ ty

Also reconnect logic is handled for you

hello I am looking for how to do so that when my bot sends a message, I answer it, and I would like my bot to be able to retrieve my response

[nocturne cypress]

Good Morning

i have returned to ask more cringe/noob help with python on my discord bot that was running perfectly fine and now something happend and its dead

[slate swan]

this is a DB error

[tawdry mural]

Hi id like to know how do I make the bot's errors that appear in the terminal to be sent to a discord channel of choice

[nocturne cypress]

I swapped my postgres from heruko to sudo

but both kept giving me same error

[primal token]

!d discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.discord.ext.commands.on\_command\_error

discord.ext.commands.on_command_error(ctx, error)```
An error handler that is called when an error is raised inside a command either through user input error, check failure, or an error in your own code.

A default one is provided ([`Bot.on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error "discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error")).

[tawdry mural]

Thank you.

[tawdry mural]

Hmm did i do this right? because errors that occur in the terminal isnt appearing in the channel

@commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
    channel = self.bot.get_channel(removedid)
    await discord.ext.commands.on_command_error(ctx, error, channel)
    embed=discord.Embed(title="Error",
                        description=f"{error}",
                        color=discord.Color.orange())
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[primal token]

no need for await discord.ext.commands.on_command_error(ctx, error, channel) and the useless f-string description=f"{error}",, your function can also cause recursion i think, did you load the cog, which errors?

[tawdry mural]

cog loaded errors for eg this

line 32, in CheckLvlUP
    for i in row:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable```
left that error on purpose for the sake of testing this

[primal token]

and where do you get these errors exactly?

[sick birch]

What is row?

[tawdry mural]

thing is i want to show the errors because the bot is hosted in a virtual machine and i cannot always be there to check on the console, thus i want it to be sent in a specific channel

[primal token]

Well, on_command_error can only catch errors from context based commands

[slate swan]

why is my discord bot sending 5x the amount that its suppost to

and it runs when i dont have any terminals open

[winged coral]

It's running in other places

In the background somehow

Do I only need one of these to get commands working?

oh I guess I only need commands and not client.

[alpine cove]

remove client

[alpine cove]

its discord.Client()
and its deprecated dont use it

[slate swan]

wo ur tag

[jaunty musk]

anyone know why, when I do emoji = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check, timeout=60) it's coming back as \ud83e\udee7 and how can I get it to save as :bubbles:

[hushed galleon]

not sure what unicode characters \ud83e\udee7 represent, but the 🫧 emoji would look like \U0001fae7

[alpine cove]

^

[jaunty musk]

When I reply with 🫧 it comes out as that weird unicode...

is there a proper way to have a wait for message get :bubbles: ?

[hushed galleon]

i dont get the same results

[hushed galleon]

standard emoji in discord are represented with unicode emoji, and discord uses their own names so there isnt an easy way to exactly match what discord shows for the emoji all the time

you can either find some name mapping discord uses if that exists, create your own, or use something close enough like the builtin module unicodedata to get the emoji's name

!e py import unicodedata emoji = '\U0001fae7' print(unicodedata.name(emoji))

[unkempt canyon]

@hushed galleon :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

BUBBLES

[sick birch]

discord.EmojiConverter might work, don't quote me on it though

[hushed galleon]

nah thats for custom emoji only, PartialEmojiConverter too (annoyingly)

i had to use a pypi package like emoji and a custom converter to check if a character(s) was standard emoji

hmm emoji actually has its own localizations, but it doesnt seem to match the ones in discord (at least for one emoji that i checked)

[faint mural]

You can create a subclass with discord.ui.Button (class MyButton(discord.ui.Button)) or as shown in your example you need to use discord.ui.button

[hushed galleon]

can you show the code for your view? the lines dont make sense in your traceback which likely means the bot is running an older script than what's been saved
(as i will find out below, that is the expected traceback which doesnt show the decorator that had the actual error)

how do i make it so this button only works for the person who sent the command?

!d discord.ui.View.interaction_check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.interaction\_check

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

A callback that is called when an interaction happens within the view that checks whether the view should process item callbacks for the interaction.

This is useful to override if, for example, you want to ensure that the interaction author is a given user.

The default implementation of this returns `True`.

Note

If an exception occurs within the body then the check is considered a failure and [`on_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View.on_error "discord.ui.View.on_error") is called.

[simple kettle]

what does the slash mean

[sick birch]

It means interaction is positional only

[drifting arrow]

In discordpy to create an embed you just create it in the command itself or wherever you want embed = discord.Embed, is there an equivalent for modals?

[vale wing]

Modals are different, check examples on github repos

this code deletes messages if they are an invite link, but it wont delete messages if it contains text + invite link. how can i change it so that if an invite link is any part of a message, it will delete it?

[bright wedge]

https://discord.gg/ <- in message.content

What is the difference between discord.py and pycord

pycord is a fork of dpy

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

  await bot.process_commands(message)```
this works but if i (a mod) send out an invite link, it still deletes it. any idea why it might be passing the modrole check?
(also i purposefully misspelled the invitestring link so the bot doesnt delete the message)

my intents are `intents=nextcord.Intents.all())`

[bright wedge]

this is how you define the role

Hi

[astral ether]

hello I am looking for how to do so that when my bot sends a message, I answer it, and I would like my bot to be able to retrieve my response

[placid skiff]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for there are some examples if you open the doc

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[astral ether]

thanks

global check in disnake for slash_commands?

[slate swan]

how can i update a button on click?

[slate swan]

i cant send what im trying to say but .gg isnt only way for invite to be made

this bot keeps deleting my message

[austere vale]

what should i put then? you can just misspell it a bit like dscord.gg

[slate swan]

yes you can do it in callback

[slate swan]

dscord.com/invite

like invite/vanity

thats why his way of using re is better

[austere vale]

hi, you typed modrole=message.guild.get_role(937402417069293589) right? sorry i accidentally deleted my code

[slate swan]

i tried to install slash commands bit it failed

[placid skiff]

Bruh you don't need them
d.py>=2.0 supports slash commands

[upbeat gust]

Are you watching a tutorial?

[placid skiff]

Probably lmao

[slate swan]

how can i see what version of dpyy i have ?

[slate swan]

yes

[upbeat gust]

pip show discord.py

[upbeat gust]

Stop, it's outdated

[slate swan]

wtf

[upbeat gust]

That's not what I said

what do you expect

[slate swan]

?

[upbeat gust]

..

I told you to do something, and you did a different thing.

[slate swan]

i have 2.0.1

[upbeat gust]

good, then

[slate swan]

then what

[upbeat gust]

https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f

Follow this guide instead of the tutorial you had

[slate swan]

need i to install the new dpy version?

[upbeat gust]

You are on the latest already

[slate swan]

I read the GitHub but to do slash command it's not with

@slash.slash(name="name")
``` ?

[upbeat gust]

as I said, stop following that tutorial

[slate swan]

yes but i dont understand whati havez to do now

it doesnt explain howto installslash commands

[bright wedge]

Yes

[austere vale]

thats not how you use a regular expression

you probably want discordInviteFilter.search(<string>)

its just a repeat of this over

[upbeat gust]

You only have 3 seconds to respond.

Idk I don't use that lib

[whole sparrow]

For popular bots, is there a timer for the welcome message for a user?

Im assuming it's because too many users joined at once

[upbeat gust]

I mean it says what the problem is

you can't convert '%mention tach' to int

[upbeat gust]

you could just not do it and let discord do welcomes

I don't think anyone cares anwyay

figure out why you're trying to convert '%mention tach' to int

[whole sparrow]

It sends a custom image of the user's profile picture along with custom text with the welcome message

[whole sparrow]

it's for a client haha not for me to say

[upbeat gust]

Can I ask how often these are being sent

Your lib should be automatically slowing down

you need to do some real messed up stuff to get 429s

[whole sparrow]

Im using disnake

And not sure. it depends of course on how often user's join so its variable

lmao

[upbeat gust]

I guess you could make a queue of messages to send

Then send one like every few seconds inside a tasks.loop

[whole sparrow]

Yeah I was thinking of that.

[upbeat gust]

Read the error

it says what's wrong

[slate swan]

mind giving me a doc link to that?

[upbeat gust]

Deferring just says "I acknowledge this interaction, I'll followup later"

[slate swan]

it should be interaction.response.send_message
defer doesn't have any arguments

[upbeat gust]

E.g. https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/counter.py

[upbeat gust]

No, defer then followup in this case

Yes-

defer then send a follow-up

Then send it when you want to

You have 15 mins

what error

[slate swan]

Are you hosting on repl it by any chance

[whole sparrow]

Nope, pebblehost

[slate swan]

Hmm weird

Did you try changing ip

[whole sparrow]

Im hosting from my computer atm and it is working. but this has happened twice now

[upbeat gust]

Looks like it's on the bad hosts list on the dpy server, why are you using that instead of a vps

[whole sparrow]

Im now adding a 1s timer to the message

[whole sparrow]

Never had any issues with pebblehost so far until this

Thats why never went to a vps

its cheap and was easy to setup for my clients

[upbeat gust]

yeah that's the thing with bad hosts

It's good until you really need it to do something

[whole sparrow]

But having a bad server/host lead to a 429 ratelimit?

How does it stop dpy from automatically stopping the message spam

[upbeat gust]

idk bad network management ig

[whole sparrow]

yeah weird

[vale wing]

How cheap

[whole sparrow]

$3 per month

[vale wing]

VPS on galaxygate costs the same yet provides more functionality

[whole sparrow]

Looks good, ill look into it

you're only processing commands if the bot is the message author? why?

I'm asking you why you're doing that

do you understand what this code does

[lucid galleon]

got my fault . Any way to process commands?

[vocal snow]

...

I don't know how to explain this

this checks if the message author is the bot

so you're only processing commands if the author is the bot

[lucid galleon]

is it okay?```
if message.author == bot.user:
return

but i want to process my commands

[lucid galleon]

yup!

[vocal snow]

sure, and where will you process commands

you can process it after the if statement

[lucid galleon]

that's what i am asking to u?

will it work🤔

[jagged adder]

how would i go about ending a specific instance of a class?

[lucid galleon]

@vocal snow great it's working

[vocal snow]

wdym "ending"

[jagged adder]

if someone quits a session of my game, im doing 2-3 things. 1 is making their text channel invisible except to admins (for review purposes)

secondly i want to break their current game instance so it resets the game stats

usually i do that by either restarting bot or by deleting the channel

without deleting the channel tho idk how to break the players current game instance

oh and third is renaming the channel

why is it showing me error?```

Explain the logic you implemented

I would keep the game data inside the command and bring the host's ID into global list (I don't mean global var)

[shrewd apex]

as long as the function is exited the garbage collector frees up the allocated memory

by function i mean scope this instance is present in

[slate swan]

Does the game have an api

[ocean dragon]

is there an implementation of decorator where u can set cooldown for command to a specific role

[ocean dragon]

also currently my bots are like this

class MyCogStaff(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot:commands.Bot) -> None:
        self.bot = bot

    @app_commands.command(name="ping")
    async def ping(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        await interaction.response.send_message("pong", ephemeral=True)

async def setup(bot: commands.Bot) -> None:
    await bot.add_cog(MyCogStaff(bot))

intents = discord.Intents.default()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
async def main():
    for _folder in os.listdir("./commands/staff/"):
        for _file in os.listdir(f"./commands/staff/{_folder}"):
            if _file.endswith(".py"):
                await bot.load_extension(f"commands.staff.{_folder}.{_file[:-3]}")

    async with bot:
        await bot.start(config.token)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

How can I

1. Get the slash commands to show on discord when I type the slash /
2. Set StaffCog commands to show only to members with staff-role

[hushed galleon]

1. you need to sync your app commands to discord, usually done in a setup_hook or a prefix command like so: ```py
   @bot.event
   async def setup_hook():

   Synchronizes global commands:

   await bot.tree.sync()

   or for a specific guild via ID:

   await bot.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(267624335836053506))``` 2. discord doesnt allow you to do this from the bot directly, i.e. an admin has to configure the slash command in Server Settings > Integrations to specify which roles are allowed (the closest thing you could do would be using the @app_commands.default_permissions() decorator to limit visibility based on permissions)

[slate swan]

how to send a private message with the py slash commands of discord?

[hushed galleon]

get the user from the interaction and use their send() method

[slate swan]

how get user ?

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[hushed galleon]

for example: py @bot.tree.command() async def my_command(interaction: discord.Interaction): # Respond to the interaction (always required in some form) await interaction.response.send_message('Hello in this channel!') # DM the user await interaction.user.send('Hello in your DM!')

as usual you might get a discord.Forbidden error if the user has their DMs closed

[sly hedge]

could anyone help me figure out why I cant import that?

[vale wing]

Isn't it in ext

[sly hedge]

whaT?

[vale wing]

Nvm

@sly hedge do pip show discord.py

[slate swan]

Anyone know I can make my bot automatically send a message once a certain amount of messages are sent in my general chat by users

[vale wing]

Yea count them in on_message ig

[vale wing]

What IDE do you use

[slate swan]

Explain further

[sly hedge]

Visual

[vale wing]

Are you installing them through vsc's embedded terminal

[sly hedge]

no

[vale wing]

Do that

[sly hedge]

aight I try

thanks

hmmm, that did not help

[vale wing]

Is there only one interpreter installed on your machine and are you using venv

[velvet compass]

Hey random question: is it possible to have a bot do prefix commands and slash commands? I'm having an issue where I enabled a basic slash command but now the previous prefixed commands do not work (the bot does not respond). I'm using nextcord and I'm fairly certain I have all of the scopes / intents enabled for both

[vale wing]

To my knowledge, discord.py supports hybrid commands, not sure about nextcord

[velvet compass]

Ah

Each command has its own cog currently, not sure if that makes a difference

[vale wing]

Tbh they only differ by decorators

And the type of ctx can either be Context or Interaction, depending on how the command was called

[velvet compass]

Right

I can get a basic "echo" slash command, but my previous ~ping command is no longer picked up by the bot

[hushed galleon]

i havent heard that happening before, but there's a lot of things that could go wrong for prefix commands to not work

[lucid galleon]

why is it showing me error?```

thats a bug with asyncio, you can usually ignore it

[vale wing]

In nextcord anything can go wrong

[velvet compass]

I see I see

[lucid galleon]

got it

[hushed galleon]

e.g. missing the messages intent, on_message not processing commands, missing the message_content intent, and if its in a cog the command could be shadowed by another function

@velvet compass the last point wouldnt be the case right? does your prefix and slash command have different function names?

[velvet compass]

They do have different names

[primal token]

Have you loaded the cog?

[velvet compass]

Here are the cogs that get loaded:

[ocean dragon]

is there an implementation of decorator where u can set cooldown for command to a specific role

[sick birch]

Hey Brad! Fancy seeing you here

[primal token]

!d discord.ext.commands.BucketType.role

[velvet compass]

And here is where I set up the bot:

# some stuff above

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


class Bradbot(commands.Bot):
    """
    Bradbot core.
    """

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.name = "Bradbot"
        self.dev_log = int(DEV_LOG)

    def add_cog(self, cog: commands.Cog) -> None:
        """
        Delegate to super to register `cog`.
        This only serves to make the info log, so that extensions don't have to.
        """
        super().add_cog(cog)
        logger.info(f"Cog loaded: {cog.qualified_name}")


bot = Bradbot(command_prefix="~", intents=intents)

#more stuff below

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.BucketType.role

The role bucket operates on a per-role basis.

New in version 1.3.

[sick birch]

I also don't think prefix commands and slash commands should interfere unless you've set them up as hybrids?

[velvet compass]

(a lot of this is heavily inspired from @lament depot )

[velvet compass]

They should be completely separate

[primal token]

Can you show both of the commands?

[sick birch]

have you configured them as hybrids?

[primal token]

Theyre 2 separate comamnds

[velvet compass]

I am now wondering though, should I modify the prefix commands where I initialize them?

[primal token]

^

[sick birch]

I'm guess not then

[hushed galleon]

@ocean dragon what do you mean by "a specific role"? do you want the cooldown to only apply to that role? there's several different ways to design it with dpy 2.0

[velvet compass]

So some code blocks:

Ping command (prefix)

[ocean dragon]

actually I mispoke, I want limits for commands to users that do not have a "membership" role

[hushed galleon]

ah, so that would require a dynamic cooldown

what library and version are you using? discord.py 2.0 comes with @dynamic_cooldown()

and so does nextcord and disnake

[paper sluice]

do you have an on_message event by any chance?

[ocean dragon]

discord.py, latest I guess

I'm rewriting my spaghetticode 🤣

[velvet compass]

I do not

[hushed galleon]

pip show discord.py to check the version

[primal token]

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/blob/master/examples/application_commands/cog_example.py#L19 have you tried this method?

[ocean dragon]

2.0.1

[unkempt canyon]

examples/application_commands/cog_example.py line 19

@nextcord.message_command(guild_ids=[TESTING_GUILD_ID])```

[hushed galleon]

aight good

!d discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.dynamic\_cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown, type)```
A decorator that adds a dynamic cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

This differs from [`cooldown()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.cooldown "discord.ext.commands.cooldown") in that it takes a function that accepts a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") and must return a [`Cooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Cooldown "discord.app_commands.Cooldown") or `None`. If `None` is returned then that cooldown is effectively bypassed.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

New in version 2.0.

[hushed galleon]

the context menu app commands?

[primal token]

wut

[hushed galleon]

thats what you linked

[sick birch]

Is the logger getting triggered?

[primal token]

ahhh, yeah, sorry for the confusion

what an interesting namespace

[velvet compass]

negative

[paper sluice]

is message content intent enabled in the dev portal?

[primal token]

Do you only have 2 commands?

[velvet compass]

Yup:

[velvet compass]

I have 1 slash command in its own cog, and I have 5 prefix commands in their own cogs

[primal token]

Do the other prefix commands work?

[velvet compass]

Nope, none of them are. (and it isn't getting logged either)

[hushed galleon]

@ocean dragon the BucketType can be whatever you want, but for changing the cooldown you can pass a function that returns a Cooldown only if the user doesnt have your membership role, for example: ```py
def cooldown_callback(ctx):
if <user has membership role>:
return None
return app_commands.Cooldown(1, 10) # 1/10s

@bot.command()
@commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown_callback, commands.BucketType.member)
async def my_command(ctx):
...```

[velvet compass]

I added a log message to the slash command, and that is getting logged

[paper sluice]

you sure your bot is not possessed by some Halloween ghost?

[ocean dragon]

neat, thx

[velvet compass]

That would be a spooky danger doot pumpkin skeleton bat if it is

[primal token]

have you tried reloading the cog of each command after the slash command gets setup?

[velvet compass]

They are all loaded in alphabetical order

[primal token]

And the context commands work if the SlashTester cog isnt loaded?

[obtuse blaze]

I need to call a async fuction on __init__ but I can't sync its not async. So my question is how can I make __init__ async?

[primal token]

You can use a classmethod

[obtuse blaze]

so make a class

put fuction in there and call class?

[velvet compass]

I commented out the setup for the slash command and still no dice. Could be a massive lag in enabling message intents from discord's side?

[hushed galleon]

hm nextcord's source is a bit odd, they chose to introduce the concept of cogs to discord.Client in order to implement slash commands inside them

[primal token]

have you tried using a listener to see if you're receiving MESSAGE_CREATEs events?

[velvet compass]

I haven't, worth a shot

[primal token]

because you forgot it in your constructor(__init__())

In this case it would be bot so add another argument

you forgot self in the parameters of the constructor

No worries😅

[velvet compass]

I tried this in the Ping cog class, no luck:

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        print(message)

I'm going to chalk it up to a lag on the perms being set up on discord's side. Will come back to this later

[fading marlin]

don't sync globally

[primal token]

Have you tried using nextcords logger?

i'm pretty sure it shows what events get received

[slate swan]

Hey,
I'm trying to make my slash command into an prefix command.

Here is my code:

@bot.command()
async def activity(ctx, str):
activity: discord.Option(str,"Change the bot activity",required=True):
if not isAdmin(ctx):
embed = discord.Embed( description="Access Denied: You are not an admin.",
color=0x3dad5b)
return await ctx.send(embed=embed)
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f"{activity}"))
embed = discord.Embed(description=f"Bot activity changed to {activity}",
color=0x3dad5b)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)

I'm trying to make it into $. Right now, I have troubles with the option.

[primal token]

It's not indented in the class!

[fading marlin]

what's the issue? any tracebacks?

[slate swan]

I have this error, i believe.

[fading marlin]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

This also runs the translator to get the translated strings necessary for feeding back into Discord.

This must be called for the application commands to show up.

[fading marlin]

ah, there we go

[slate swan]

What does that do?

[fading marlin]

@slate swan take a look at the guild kwarg ^

[primal token]

Because theyre in the class and cant access an instance

Cant you just use commands to setup the app commands?

[fading marlin]

you should be able to solve syntax errors by yourself...?

[slate swan]

Nope.

[primal token]

actually i think its app_commands

[ocean dragon]

can I create a custom decorator using default_permissions so I can actually hide the commands from those who do not have a role?

(I'm bad at decorators) :D

[primal token]

well then it's commands

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_cog.py

[fading marlin]

you can't toggle slash commands by roles, only permissions

[ocean dragon]

ok

[velvet compass]

Update: I had to give my bot a server role with higher perms

[primal token]

why exactly?

[velvet compass]

I have no idea, but it worked after that

[primal token]

🤔

[whole sparrow]

Guys, any good vps servers that are good for discord bots that are around $10 a month?

or $15, pricing isnt really an issue

It's for a server with 5k+ people

I've tried pebblehost but it buckled under load

[paper sluice]

Your bot was possessed indeed

[mental hollow]

kinda off topic but does anyone know any packages which convert seconds into things like "1 minute" if my seconds = 60?

[primal token]

!pypi time-str | something like this?

[unkempt canyon]

time-str v1.0.0

A package to convert user input into datetime.timedelta objects

[primal token]

You can also use regex

[white citrus]

How do i get all channels in the SlashOption

[weary flume]

how do i check if a user has a role in a completely different server

[slate swan]

??

[limber pagoda]

guild = bot.get_guild(completely_different_guild_id)
user = guild.get_member(user_id)
role = guild.get_role(role_id)
if role in user.roles:
    #user has the role
else:
    #user does not have the role```

[slate swan]

Is there a way to do if interaction.custom_id == "..." but in modal class?

[slate swan]

can someone explain to me what exactly the benefits are if switching from autosharded client to "horizontallly sharding" or "traditional sharding"?

[austere vale]

do you know if theres other ways besides that? because if its just dscord.com and dscord.gg, i can just have it check those 2 strings

[slate swan]

autoshard just does it for u

[austere vale]

?

[slate swan]

someone else already answered u

[austere vale]

where ?

[prisma prism]

Hi guys!

server.unban(user)

Will this work, if the user is a string with a valid user ID. and the server is a string with a valid guild ID?

[slate swan]

no

[prisma prism]

is there a correct way to write it?

[slate swan]

unbans are weird

u need to get user object

[slate swan]

autosharded doesn't make any sense though? It's running all shards in the same process so if my process goes down, so do all my shards. Whereas vertical and horizontal sharding don't work that way and I want to know how they work

[austere vale]

async def unban(self, ctx, user: nextcord.User):
  await ctx.guild.unban(user)

[pine lava]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uluropifev so
i'm making a currency bot
and a crash command
and in the paste on line 47
the removed_players dict doesn't update the command
on line 5, i print removed_players and this is a screenshot from my console even after i used the CashOut view

[prisma prism]

I have that as my unban command

[slate swan]

Hello

[austere vale]

i dont think server.unban is the same as await ctx.guild.unban

[prisma prism]

yeah

[slate swan]

autoshard isn't a multiprocess thing lol

[slate swan]

ctx: nextcord.Interaction ?

[prisma prism]

I need a way to manually specify a server and user then unban

[slate swan]

use inter: nextcord.Interaction

[slate swan]

I know it isn't. It's running through the same process that my code is so if that process goes down, so do all my shards.

[prisma prism]

will Bot.fetch_user(id) get me a user object?

[slate swan]

Yes but ctx also requires

he is using interactions dude lol

ctx is ctx interaction is interaction

[slate swan]

Correct

[slate swan]

Fair

Inter is better in this situation tho

[pine lava]

could anyone help me please?

[prisma prism]

so does anyone know a way I can unban someone on a specified server?

I don't want CTX as it's a predefined server ID

[slate swan]

just pass guild: int as a parameter

[hushed galleon]

i dont see why there needs to be a new view created every time you're updating the message - have you considered editing the message the view is attached to inside the cashout() callback?

[prisma prism]

Sorry i'm a bit of a noob

where do I pass it in?

[sick birch]

your command

that should take the guild as a parameter

[slate swan]

actually youll also have to use large int

[prisma prism]

oh it's not a command

it's raw code

[slate swan]

that doesn't make sense?

[sick birch]

not in python no

[slate swan]

yes you do

i use python

because of the new id update

[sick birch]

Did the ID go up a digit or?

[slate swan]

ye

[sick birch]

Hm. It should still work, python doesn't have trouble with large integers

[slate swan]

async def transfer(self, inter: disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction, server_id: int = Param(large=True), old_server_id: int = Param(large=True)):

i have to do like this cause if i just pass server_id:int when u input an int if its too large, it won't accept it and let u invoke the cmd

how to print the new messages sent in a specific channel?

[prisma prism]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    msg = message.content
    if message.channel.id == 9630752822014022:
        await ctx.send(msg)

this might do it

[sick birch]

Interesting. I'll have to check it out, thanks!

do i have to have a interaction with the user everytime they change something in the menu

i want them to be able to pick what they want on the menu then press a button to submit it

[granite plume]

apparently the problem is with the first line

[wispy spade]

can you provide a traceback? seems like an odd error

[granite plume]

just realized that the error is unique to Visual studio code

it works on other IDEs such as spyder

but VSC is what i'm using to run my bot

how do i fix the error there

[slate swan]

Is this something to be worried about? My bot is taking really long to startup

[wispy spade]

uhm it could be an environment issue

or it could be something else, that's the reason I wanted the complete error

[obtuse blaze]

how can I call an async fuction insdie __init__

[wispy spade]

Ok yeah, notice how in the traceback it imports the urllib module in your folder rather than the standard library one, hence the error.

[granite plume]

oh?

[granite plume]

how to i make it such that it imports urllib from the standard library one

[slate swan]

does anyone know how to fix this 'clear' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

good luck fixing that last time i tried it didnt work

[wispy spade]

Seems like an effect of those libraries not currently supporting Python 3.11. They seem to be known issues.

[slate swan]

apperently this work

pip install python-dotenv

But im not sure it helped fixed someones but idk

[wispy spade]

Pretty clear error, check if you are actually providing a correct token.

I already installed this libraries

[granite plume]

i'll just reupdate the token

or ykw just recopy it

alright yeah that was my fault

[slate swan]

thats also if ur self botting error

it wont log u in and it gives u that error

is there a way to make a number increase each time in the output of a for loop? for instance im making a leaderboard command and i did it with for result in results: embed.add_field(name=f'{result[1]}', etc... but id like for each result to have 1), 2), etc for each line

[alpine cove]

!d enumerate

[unkempt canyon]

enumerate

enumerate(iterable, start=0)```
Return an enumerate object. *iterable* must be a sequence, an [iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-iterator), or some other object which supports iteration. The [`__next__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#iterator.__next__ "iterator.__next__") method of the iterator returned by [`enumerate()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#enumerate "enumerate") returns a tuple containing a count (from *start* which defaults to 0) and the values obtained from iterating over *iterable*.

```py
>>> seasons = ['Spring', 'Summer', 'Fall', 'Winter']
>>> list(enumerate(seasons))
[(0, 'Spring'), (1, 'Summer'), (2, 'Fall'), (3, 'Winter')]
>>> list(enumerate(seasons, start=1))
[(1, 'Spring'), (2, 'Summer'), (3, 'Fall'), (4, 'Winter')]
```  Equivalent to...

ooo but how would i put that inside of the embed? embed.add_field(enumerate())?

The XY problem can be summarised as asking about your attempted solution, rather than your actual problem.

Often programmers will get distracted with a potential solution they've come up with, and will try asking for help getting it to work. However, it's possible this solution either wouldn't work as they expect, or there's a much better solution instead.

added on_command_error, but still doesn't print any errors

[vale wing]

Do regex search on_.*error and @.*\.error

You either shouldn't have any error handlers at all or they should raise the error if it wasn't handled by them

[slate swan]

hey!

I was wondering how to do something:

I want for when the bot joins a new server it makes there role change to the top of the roles

[vale wing]

You can't edit your top role

[slate swan]

so I cant have the bot make its own role go to the top?

[vale wing]

And everything higher than it

Indeed you can't

Nobody can

[slate swan]

can a bot add a role to themselves if the role is higher then theres?

[vale wing]

No

That breaks all logic — everyone would be able to make themselves admins

[slate swan]

No, a bot works same as a user so anything a user can do a bot can do and same with user limitations, bots have lower rate limits though that's only difference, so no they can't that wouldn't be logic

[slate swan]

a "workaround" would be to have default perms on the bot set to admin and then you can move the bots role above the highest non admin role

[slate swan]

u need to use big int

[alpine cove]

number might be too large

oh yea nvm

[slate swan]

from discord.ext.commands import Param


memberid: int = Param(large=True)

@slate swan

[alpine cove]

reason: str = "No Reason" also works

[alpine cove]

is that bcs of the new conversion limits or just a dpy thing?

[slate swan]

its always been a thing

[alpine cove]

gotcha

[slate swan]

do lowercase

param

it might not even be the same for discord hold on

ok so apparently with dpy u have to use a str then convert it to an int lmfao

another reason why i like disnake

[slate swan]

this is doable with disnake but not dpy. dpy you need to make it a str then convert to int

[slate swan]

pycord same thing

gotta use str then convert to int

javascript doesnt accept that long integer, and so does discord

accepting a string and converting it to int is the only choice here

[slate swan]

or use disnake

[viral dock]

Hello, When I type in my terminal: pip install discord
The terminal responds with: bash: pip: command not found
So is pip uninstalled or sumn?

[slate swan]

disnake does the str to int conversion internally yeah

love the wrapper :p

[slate swan]

python -m pip

[viral dock]

bash python command not found

[slate swan]

try python3.8 / python3.9 or whatever version of python you installed

Maybe pip3?

[viral dock]

not found

[slate swan]

i'd just suggest installing pip properly with python

https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

download this file and run it using python

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py

nvm read that wrong

[paper sluice]

do you have python installed? if not install python3 and then install python3-pip

[dull terrace]

means that result[0] is not a number

[slate swan]

can someone give me an example of button persistency in cogs?

[whole sparrow]

Guys any good hosting services?

[slate swan]

someone help me with this one please

[silent portal]

Is it bad to have multiple scripts with the same bot token?

[slate swan]

why not just combine them? @silent portal

[silent portal]

cuz I‘m lazy 😵‍💫

[slate swan]

it's simple dude

[slate swan]

Yes.

Use Cogs.

[silent portal]

yh right I wanted to, but haven't used them before

[slate swan]

Is your code rewrite, and discord.py?

[silent portal]

yh

discordpy 2.0

[slate swan]

Hm, what all do you have.

[silent portal]

lol basically many things

Leaderboard system, for voice and chat

level system and temp voice channels

all that kind of stuff

[slate swan]

0-0

I would rewrite it in cogs but that sounds like a ton.

[silent portal]

exactly lmao

[slate swan]

wait show me ur current workspace

0-0 im sweating at the thought

just like 500 subprocess command chainlinked starting each part of the bot

[spice scroll]

keep getting this when I try my bot out. It gives an error on the prefix line:

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">")

I get:

  File "C:\Users\User\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\main.py", line 6, in <module>
    client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">")
TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

It never needed intents before, what's changed and how do i fix it?

[vale wing]

A lot

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.

What for did you even put the *

[slate swan]

but i wanna do like if a member sends in a spesific channel

[vale wing]

That's what causes the error btw

And yeah

[slate swan]

cuz if they will do " " too it will send that too

like blah blah

[vale wing]

There's no message arg in on_message

[vale wing]

This only applies to commands

[slate swan]

OH

okay

[vale wing]

Generally in python it means "all args after are keyword-only"

[slate swan]

TypeError: on_message() missing 1 required positional argument: 'member'

[vale wing]

I already said

There's no such argument in on_message

[slate swan]

oh

[vale wing]

You access member via message.author

why the heck I said message.member

[slate swan]

message.author.mention

[vale wing]

Yeah that's ping

thank you!

[alpine cove]

I have no idea of that works

try it first

[spice scroll]

I had it alive for a split second, I added the intents part but now it's messed up, dunno how to fit

client = discord.Client()

in without coming up with the intents error still

[alpine cove]

dont use discord.Client its deprecated

[spice scroll]

what instead?

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client"), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.

last time I did anything with discord.py was late 2020 so it's been awhile

[alpine cove]

is it working?

[slate swan]

no sadly

[alpine cove]

yea i relized

try ahain

*again

[slate swan]

the same code?

[alpine cove]

yep

[alpine cove]

that looks sick

but does it work?

[slate swan]

the self

[alpine cove]

ohh the init

fix it

*fixe

*fixed

[lime grove]

self.FFMPEG_OPTIONS = {'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5', 'options': '-vn'}
ctx.voice_client.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(executable="./ffmpeg/ffmpeg", source="./a.mp3", **self.FFMPEG_OPTIONS))
        await ctx.send("playing")

It runs through the code, joins vc without any error or warning even send the "playing message" but no audio at all. any clue?

ffmpegpcmaudio dont play any sound

any clue why?

you don’t need the from_cache part

oh

get_channel does just get the channel from the cache

[alpine cove]

bruh

[slate swan]

ill try

[alpine cove]

where do you define ur bot?

[wicked atlas]

Wait, are you trying to create a cache yourself?

[alpine cove]

yep

[slate swan]

wdym

[alpine cove]

show me your Bot()

[wicked atlas]

Why? Discord.py’s bot already has one im pretty sure

[alpine cove]

*bot = Bot()

[wicked atlas]

Granted, their cache is slow

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="-", help_command=None, intents=discord.Intents.all())

[alpine cove]

just do Bot

not commands.Bot

[slate swan]

oh okay

[wicked atlas]

Do it after you define your Bot class

[alpine cove]

yea

[slate swan]

hm?

[wicked atlas]

It’s not deprecated?

[alpine cove]

not?

[wicked atlas]

Yeah

It’s just the base class

No problem with using Client, just you don’t get all the command stuff that Bot has

[scarlet aurora]

who want's to play russian roulette?

[lucid galleon]

I need help🤔 How to make bot dm me when someone sends a help message in discord?

[scarlet aurora]

ctx.send

[lucid galleon]

will it dm me?

[scarlet aurora]

await user.send("whatever u want")```

user must be there discord.Member object

user: discord.Member```

[scarlet aurora]

did it work

[lucid galleon]

let me check

[scarlet aurora]

so u wanna do await user.send("text")

and user is defined as a discord.Member object

[lucid galleon]

any option it contains

like mine user_id or mine username?

[scarlet aurora]

in this case if u want it to be u it dms

do urs

[lucid galleon]

ok that's why i am checking docs whether it contains any other option

@scarlet aurora I am not getting docs

It's showing team member not a single member

[scarlet aurora]

wdym

[lucid galleon]

I am not getting this part await create_dm(user) what user is containing here ?

[slate swan]

Kernel will ruin the fun

[slate swan]

You can do ctx.user.send("this Dm you")

Most easy way to do it

[lucid galleon]

read this carefully

[slate swan]

wdym by "sends a help"

[lucid galleon]

if someone need help then i bot will notify me through dm me

[slate swan]

so basically if they send "help"?

[lucid galleon]

hmm

[slate swan]

you need to use an on_message event, check if message.content is equal to "help", if it is
then you will get/fetch your user object

user =bot.get_user(yourid) or await bot.fetch_user(yourid)
``` and use `user.send("text u want")` to send a message

[lucid galleon]

ok got it

[rose nest]

is there a way to automatically send a message on discord on a channel text at a given delay? if yes, can you give me a link ?

like I want a extension, that runs 24/7 and, at 2 hours delay, from my account types something on some discord server, in some channel text

[tough lance]

how to get remaining cooldown of a command for a user, by the user object itself?

[pastel basin]

how to send images with webhook?

i only know to send images in embeds

[hushed galleon]

its a bit difficult to get the retry time from builtin cooldowns without a context or message object

[chilly dove]

that means the users id that you passed is not in cache this is likely due to not using members intent

[hushed galleon]

though you can create some kind of MockMessage with the attributes related to the BucketType the cooldown uses

[lucid galleon]

ok

[hushed galleon]

?

[tough lance]

so i can go with either a mock ctx or a mock message

[hushed galleon]

yea

you can see what attributes are necessary in the bucket type's source code

guys how can i upload a photo into a embed

i tried using the set_image(url="") but i dont have the url because its a file

[alpine cove]

url="file://path"

or pass discord.File("path") instead of the url

at least im pretty sure that works

[hushed galleon]

the url scheme should be attachment://, and filename is whatever the file is named when you upload it
see also the FAQ entry about uploading images inside embeds https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-use-a-local-image-file-for-an-embed-image
