Hello, my code doesn't work and I wanted to know if someone could tell me how to modify it so that it works? py keywords = ['bonjour', 'salut'] @client.event async def on_message(message): if keywords in message.content: await message.channel.send('bonjour')

[still elbow]

Do you have intents enabled? (Specifically message intents or all)

[alpine cove]

should work

[winged coral]

I don't think it should?

if keywords in message.content This is backwards

[still elbow]

no

[slate swan]

yes all

[still elbow]

Your going to have to loop through or select them manually your list etc keywords[0] or keywords[1].
if (keywords[0] in message.content) or (keywords[1] in message.content). Iterating for keyword in keywords: if keyword in message.content:

i am on mobile i can’t really explain it much better

[wary crystal]

Why would you do that?

[winged coral]

if any(word in message.content for word in keywords)

[still elbow]

or that

[winged coral]

Might have to make it a list not sure if any works on generators 🤔

[wary crystal]

word isn't a word though

[still elbow]

his list

[wary crystal]

It's a character

[alpine cove]

oh bruh im stupid af

[wary crystal]

!e ```py
for word in "Hello World!": print(word)

[wary crystal]

It should be split first

[winged coral]

keywords is a list??

for word in keywords

[wary crystal]

Oh I looked at your comp wrong

[slate swan]

it answers to the message but not to the right keywords

[still elbow]

indent probably

[wary crystal]

But it would also make sense imo to split message.content as well

[winged coral]

@slate swan Do you want the message to be one of the keywords or do you want it to contain one of the keywords?

[slate swan]

that they contain a keyword

[winged coral]

So my comp should work fine

[slate swan]

if any(word in message.content for word in keywords) ?

[winged coral]

Yeah although you might have to cast the generator as a list

Don't think so though

Lemme see

You don't

[slate swan]

it doesn't work

[winged coral]

How so

[gilded stump]

anyone here knows javascript too?

[mental hollow]

Is there any packages I can use to help me moderate nicknames on Discord & change things such as h€rr0 to "herro"? Like take away the special characters and replace them for 'normal' ones?

[slate swan]

hey i want to get the user who added the bot to the server to send him a greeting message... I can always do that for the owner but it's not always the owner who invites the bot

Not really since that would be a pain to make.

can someone tell me how i can send the result into the same channel as the command was used in?

[sick birch]

!d nextcord.Interaction.channel

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.Interaction.channel

Tried to add an option to make a title but this came?

[amber ether]

Error is at 22

And 13

[mossy jacinth]

and whats wrong there?

Found it out

but the only error was that i wrote "title" instead of "name" on line 13

[amber ether]

Wait u did wrote title xd

[slate swan]

I'm fairly new to coding and I've already made a main.py folder for my bot and got it online but I'd like to make a seperate folder to add different commands to without just piling up everything in my main.py folder but how would I link those commands to my main.py folder?

[sick birch]

You're looking for: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/extensions.html

[slate swan]

Thanks I'll check it out

[torn sail]

U can’t name it self.title

[granite plume]

if message.content.lower() == 'hello': 
    #helloflag = True
    message = await message.channel.send('Hello. How are you feeling today? ')
        
if message.content.lower() in ['good', 'fine', 'great', 'happy']:
    await message.channel.send("That's good")

How do I make it so that when the user responds to “Hello, how are you feeling today?”, if the user says “good”, the bot says “that’s good”

[sick birch]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.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**...

[slate swan]

@sick birch hey where do you see future of text based commands, will discord totally remove it?

[sick birch]

I don't think so but they're making it unfeasible for larger verified bots

I would suggest building your bot from the ground up with slash commands in mind to account for scalability

even if you don't like it (i know many don't)

[granite plume]

why is it that in this code, my bot is still responding to its own message

async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author == self.user:
        return
    if message.content == 'ping':
        await message.channel.send('pong')

    if not self.helloflag and message.content.lower() != "hello":
        await message.channel.send('Say hello to start')

    if message.content.lower() == 'hello': 
        self.helloflag = True
        message = await message.channel.send('Hello. How are you doing today?')
    
    if self.helloflag:
        if message.content.lower() in ['good', 'fine', 'great', 'happy']:
            await message.channel.send("That's good")
            self.helloflag = False
        elif message.author != self.user:
            print(message.content.lower())
            await message.channel.send("Oh ok")
            self.helloflag = False

[slate swan]

self.client.user

or self.bot.user

whichever ur using

[granite plume]

alright thanks

[lament plinth]

have u guys seen this before lmao

cuz i havent

[upbeat gust]

yes?

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html#logging-changes

[lament plinth]

i did not know that discord.py updated to 2.0 sorry

thats why my cogs didnt work

[slate swan]

How do I make my bot send a embed after a certain amount of messages are sent
Ik how to make a embed

[tall patrol]

every message, add 1 to the message variable and if message variable is bigger than number, send embed and set message variable to 0

[pulsar bridge]

Hey, simple issue here that my tired brain can't fix

@bot.command()
@commands.cooldown(1, 86400, type = discord.ext.commands.BucketType.user)
async def daily(ctx):
    try:
        query = { "user_id": ctx.author.id }
        existing_user = money_other.find(query)
        for result in existing_user:
            current_points = result["points"]
            actual_money = result["money"]
        moneyamount_two = actual_money + (random.randint(350, 420))
        addpoints = current_points + 1
        original_query = { "user_id": ctx.author.id }
        updated_money_values = { "$set": { "money": moneyamount_two } }
        updated_points = { "$set": { "points": addpoints}}
        money_other.update_one(original_query, updated_points)
        money_other.update_one(original_query, updated_money_values)
        embed_title = f"Daily collected, f{ctx.author.name}!"
        embed = discord.Embed(title=embed_title, description="", color=1000000)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

    except CommandOnCooldown:
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f'{ctx.author.name}, You need to wait {retry_after} seconds until you can claim your daily again!', description="", colour=1000000)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Why doesn't the except part execute?
Just ignores it and gives me the error code in the terminal

[alpine cove]

cuz the CommandOnCooldown isnt being raised inside of the command

its command.error

look it up in the docs

[pulsar bridge]

Aight

lets see if I can find something

What would the solution be though? Or could you link the exact place?
There's like, 30 different instances of it being mentioned in the docs...

[vale wing]

Just saying it isn't a good idea to do such cooldown with decorator

Cause if you shutdown the bot it will reset

[pulsar bridge]

I was told it was the best idea

[vale wing]

Better to use a db

[vale wing]

That's the easiest way to implement, yet if you restart the bot cooldowns will reset

[alpine cove]

not for a daily cooldown

[alpine cove]

yea that might be a problem on small-scale bots

[pulsar bridge]

Got that, doesn't affect what I'm doing too much as the cooldowns will be short and I don't update the bot much
Is for a small server. Daily command is just to see if I can get it working

all I need to know is
if there is a solution to my error
where to find it
If there isn't a solution
Then I'll go back and experiment

[alpine cove]

as said command.error

[pulsar bridge]

Could you point me to where in the docs is it explained?
As I said, there were quite a few places it was mentioned.

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an [`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") event limited to a single command. However, the [`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") is still invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

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

[pulsar bridge]

Epic, thanks a ton

How do i make a simple music bot iwth auto song search

I k btw i dont want to use ytdl

I just want to play the song from a url

[warped mirage]

Guys, is there an issue with discord.py imports not working in python 3.11?

My imports arent working so i am unsure

on 3.10 it works, not on 3.11

[vale wing]

Several interpreters issue most likely

[warped mirage]

Do you think that will be fixed soon?

[vale wing]

That issue happens because of bad interpreters management, you caused it and can fix by yourself, it's not a code problem

[warped mirage]

I had python 3.10.5 which worked, when i switch to 3.11.0 nothing, like i deleted 3.10.5 to be sure, but it still doesn't work, i even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package, any idea what I should do?

[vale wing]

Uninstall all python versions and install 3.11 with "Add Python to PATH" checkmark. Also use venvs for packages management

[warped mirage]

I never used venvs Lol

[vale wing]

You should

[warped mirage]

How come

[vale wing]

!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

[vale wing]

Not to have this problem in the future

[warped mirage]

I just added to path, still doesn't work lol

[vale wing]

Then use venv

[warped mirage]

maybe discord package is in wrong file

Lmfao on 3.10.5 it works again

Something wrong with 3.11 then

@vocal snow dont help me with ytdl btw if u see in play cmd it plays a file from storage i want help regarding that

[vocal snow]

ok what's your code

    await ctx.send(f'Now playing: {query}')

@vocal snow

[vocal snow]

looks good to me

are you getting an error

[light violet]

Nope

Btw nothing is heard

[slate swan]

how would I go about making an economy command for my bot in a separate subfolder and linking it to the main.py with a cog?

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'purge'

[placid skiff]

User.dm_channel is returning None, the bot doesn't have a private channel with the specified user

[slate swan]

yeah it has a dm with me

[rugged shadow]

unrelated but that's not how you put docstrings

[slate swan]

lol i use them as comments

[placid skiff]

Then probably it can't be found in the bot cache, anyway just use the create_dm coroutine

PEP8 triggered

[rugged shadow]

put it at the beginning of the function body

like

def x():
    """Does x blah blah blah"""
    pass

[slate swan]

hmm i was wondering if this can be somehow used by the bot

[rugged shadow]

Yes

[slate swan]

how

[rugged shadow]

I think docstrings are automatically set to the help property of that command

Only works if you properly place the docstring

[slate swan]

hmm but im not using text commands how does that help

[rugged shadow]

maybe if you ever decide to write a front-end for that bot, iterate through the bot's commands

[slate swan]

ty

[warped mirage]

Python 3.11 still ain’t working for me like I can’t do discord imports, someone help

[rugged shadow]

are you in a venv

[warped mirage]

No

[rugged shadow]

what IDE are you using?

[slate swan]

😭

[warped mirage]

Like python versions

[rugged shadow]

no, at the beginning of the function body

[slate swan]

how

[rugged shadow]

no like vscode, pycharm, or?

[warped mirage]

Vscode

[rugged shadow]

@commands.slash_command(...)
async def cleardm(...):
    """slash command blah blah"""

[slate swan]

got it

[rugged shadow]

at the bottom right it will show which interpreter VSCode is using

maybe it's using the old one

[warped mirage]

Ye I changed to 3.11,

Then the imports for discord don’t work

If I switch back to 3.10.5

[rugged shadow]

what do you mean by "don't work"

[warped mirage]

It says that missingImport. Like it’s an error

[rugged shadow]

did you install the discord.py library for 3.11?

[warped mirage]

Wdym?

[rugged shadow]

different python version will have different packages

try py -3.11 -m pip install discord.py

[warped mirage]

I use discord.py2.0 the one from github that was download

[rugged shadow]

no need to download from github

discord.py on pypi was updated to 2.0

[vale wing]

Real ubuntu 22.10

[mossy jacinth]

Hello! I want to add an option to add custom colors to the embed and if no hex was given it will use a random color but it still uses random colors even when a hex was given

or is there no such thing called number in modals? If so what should it be?

[naive briar]

Because you're telling it to choose a random colour if the self.number is not None, because you set its value in the __init__, it will always exist and never be None. I assume that you want to check if the colour was provided or not. You should check its value if it's None instand

[warped mirage]

Ah so it’s finally out and 2.0 can be downloaded like on vs code normally?

[rugged shadow]

i think so

[warped mirage]

Ok

[pearl fjord]

how can i run a discord bot in a thread with threading.Thread ?

[mossy jacinth]

when i made it to if self.number.value == None: this came in the console (also changed self.number.. to name2 because i thought that might cause the issue before)

[naive briar]

[naive briar]

That's because nextcord expected the embed's colour to be an instance of Colour or int, and since the modal input's value will always return as a str, you have to convert it to RGB and use nextcord.Colour.from_rgb to turn it into an instance of the Colour

[alpine cove]

either jobs is a list or job[job]

bruh

idk how you structured your shit

[slate swan]

not tryna be rude or anything but do you just use peoples code or something? you error is just a basic python error and you stored it a specific way so you should know the issue

[alpine cove]

what I was thinking

[shrewd apex]

at this point u are just playing lego with python

[paper sluice]

tf

[shrewd apex]

job_name = jobs(int[job][“name“])

[paper sluice]

syntax has left the chat

[pliant gulch]

1["name"]?

I don't think you meant to subscript an integer

[shrewd apex]

andy are u good at logical problems? i need answer for a question

if i put it in help channel i am prolly gonna get ignored

[pliant gulch]

What

[slate swan]

yo

what is payload in discord.py ?

[vocal snow]

well

you're sending a message whenever you receive a message

its a loop

[slate swan]

i am trying to do that if they send a message in a sepcific channel

also how do i do that if the message is from a bot it wont send

[vocal snow]

you need an if statement to do both of those

[slate swan]

if msg.author.bot:
return?

[vocal snow]

yep

and you can check if message.channel is the channel the want there too

[slate swan]

okay

@vocal snow it does that

[vocal snow]

looks like a message object repr to me

you're passing in the message object instead of just the content (msg.content)

[slate swan]

ohh

i think that would do that

@vocal snow

[vocal snow]

you're still passing an object directly

  await moji.add_reaction('![Fishy](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/998098439948730368.webp?size=128 "Fishy")')
  await bot.process_commands(msg)```

[vocal snow]

so you only want commands to work in that channel?

[slate swan]

nono

[vocal snow]

ok, so think about how the function is going to work

[slate swan]

umm

[vocal snow]

if msg.channel is not Channel: return

this ends the function right there

[slate swan]

OH

then what do i do instead

[vocal snow]

think about it

there's no compulsion that you have to process commands at the end of the event

[slate swan]

so at the start?

[vocal snow]

you just need to restructure the logic

you can do it at the start, but then it'll process commands sent by bots as well

[slate swan]

oh

[vocal snow]

so you'll need to move those if statements around a bit

[slate swan]

i cant do it that way right

[vocal snow]

think of the flow

1. you check if the msg author is a bot

2. if it is, return

3. process commands

[slate swan]

oh

[vocal snow]

4. check if the channel is the one you want

5. send your embed

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
  Channel = bot.get_channel(996119147337494538)
  if msg.author.bot:
    return
  embed = discord.Embed(title=f"New feedback!", description=f"User: {msg.author.mention} \n \n Feedback: {msg.content}", timestamp=datetime.now() , color=0x4e80cf)
  embed.set_thumbnail(url=msg.author.display_avatar.url)
  embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {msg.author} | {msg.author.guild.name}")
  await bot.process_commands(msg)
  if msg.channel is not Channel:
    return
  moji=await Channel.send(embed=embed)
  await moji.add_reaction('![Fishy](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/998098439948730368.webp?size=128 "Fishy")')```

will it be like that

[vocal snow]

that would work

[slate swan]

i will try

[vocal snow]

but there's no reason to create the embed if you're not going to send it anyways

so you can move that part after the 2nd if statement too

[slate swan]

works

[slate swan]

oh

also

can u help me w that-

how do i do that it will purge the author message

will await msg.channel.purge(limit=1)
would do it?

[vocal snow]

just use msg.delete

[vocal snow]

()

[slate swan]

and then limit?

or just it

[vocal snow]

there is no limit since the api call is to delete that specific message

[slate swan]

ohh okay thanks

[lucid galleon]

I want that bot will dm me when someone send help message``` elif message.content.startswith("help"):
send me message

any help?

[slate swan]

is that the whole code?

[lucid galleon]

here's the code ```
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return

elif message.content.startswith("help"):
      send me message

also it's printing none``` user = client.get_user(1035557353845706762) print(user)

[lucid galleon]

@slate swan 🤔

[naive briar]

!d discord.Client.get_user - it'll return None if it can't find the user with the given ID

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_user

get_user(id, /)```
Returns a user with the given ID.

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

[naive briar]

Also you have to wait until the bot have fully started before using that

[lucid galleon]

but why is it showing none?

as i have given my own id

still it's showing None

🤔

[lucid galleon]

]

[primal token]

Because the method is a cache lookup, over a method like discord.Client.fetch_user which makes a request

[lucid galleon]

what to do?

[primal token]

make a check, that checks if discord.Client.get_user was successful or not

[lucid galleon]

ok then?

[primal token]

e.g

user =  clientvar.get_user(id) or await clientver.fetch_user(id)

[lucid galleon]

ok

Not working```
user = client.get_user(788606884285251644) or await client.fetch_user(788606884285251644)
print(user)

here's the error<coroutine object Client.fetch_user at 0x0000017C90F333C0> F:\pyenv\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py:409: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Client.fetch_user' was never awaited await coro(*args, **kwargs) RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[lucid galleon]

not working

[primal token]

show your code

[sick birch]

No

[lucid galleon]

 elif message.content.startswith("help"):
        user = client.get_user(788606884285251644) or await client.fetch_user(788606884285251644)
        print(user)
        await message.channel.send("ok")

[primal token]

Did you saved your code, if you did, did you used the fetch_user method with send and only had 1 await?

[primal token]

Not like i wanna see your code, you probably use nested classes

😒

[lucid galleon]

i saved my code but not used fetch_user

what i did is shown to you

[primal token]

Well, can you show your current code?

and can you show the whole traceback?

[slate swan]

Lol sharex

[slate swan]

I use that but where is the settings for it

Ohh

Search in youtube i dont rlly know how to explain

[slate swan]

It would be nice if you could give a usage example.

[slate swan]

yo anyone wanna make an discord bot?

[faint mural]

I think you want .purge() if no limit is provided it would only delete the last 100 messages

[spice scroll]

🤣 i suck at it

currentyl trying rn. I was successful a couple years back and now i cant do shit

[faint mural]

[slate swan]

Does it function the same as this?

[slate swan]

idk what do you think

[spice scroll]

i don't think 🧠❌

[slate swan]

hmmm

[faint mural]

This is an event, which gets called on an bulk delete. So no it is not the same.

you'll have to use discord.py's Views to make buttons and stuff instead of this library

[spice scroll]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[spice scroll]

i put those in as follows and it says it doesnt cant import intents from discord

[mossy jacinth]

Way to complicated for me.. is there a way that i can make it go blue if the user writes "blue" as a color?

[untold iron]

Hey there, im struggling to print the value from payout

Whenever i run i get None

Please let me know what im doing wrong

[slate swan]

is there a way to run the bot async with another task that uses the terminal?

[whole sparrow]

Guys, how do I add a space after the title in an embed for my description

[drifting swallow]

items[0].value?

payout*

so like payout.items[0].value

[dreamy heron]

payout ['items']['amount']['value']

@untold iron this Will work

[untold iron]

Thank you all

Working, i need to learn dictionaries

much appreciated

[obtuse blaze]

I was told to make classmethods if I wanna call an async fuction inside __init__ but how do I await ? is it like await Class.Method()?

[faint mural]

Rather than doing that, just define self.something: something = None and add the value to it in some function like setup_hook

[slate swan]

you cant call an async function inside an init

a possible way would be using asyncio.create_task()

[obtuse blaze]

    def __init__(self,author) -> None:
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None
        self.author = author
        self.damage,self.player,self.mob = Mobs(author).MobEncounter()```

```class Mobs():
  def __init__(self, id):
    self.id = id
  async def MobEncounter(self):
      async with aiosqlite.connect('db.db') as con:
        cur = await con.execute("SELECT Constitution,Max_Constitution,Dexterity,Intelligence,mana,Strength,floor,class,level FROM Character WHERE user_id = ?", (self.id,))
        player = cur.fetchone()
        if player[7] == "Adventurer":
          damage = (10 * ((player[2] * 1)+(player[3] * 0.25)+(player[4] * 0.1)+(player[5] * 1.5))) 
        elif player[7] == "Magician":
          damage = (10 * ((player[2] * 0.25)+(player[3] * 1.5)+(player[4] * 1)+(player[5] * 0.1)))
        elif player[7] == "Wanderer":
          damage = (10 * ((player[2] * 0.5)+(player[3] * 0.1)+(player[4] * 0.1)+(player[5] * 0.5)))
        cur = con.execute("SELECT MobName,MobHealth,MobDamage,Mobexp FROM Mobs where floor = ? and Mob_ID = ?", (player[6],))
        mob = cur.fetchone()
        list_mob = []
        list_player = []
        for i in mob:
          list_mob.append(i)
        for i in player:
          list_player.append(i)
      
      return damage,list_player,list_mob```

Here is code for context

[slate swan]

!e ```py
import asyncio

class Foo:
def init(self):
asyncio.create_task(self.bar())

async def bar(self):
   print("hello")

can ignore this part

async def main():
Foo()

asyncio.run(main())

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

hello

[slate swan]

example code^, you can convert it to however you want to use

[obtuse blaze]

ohhh so in this case it would be
self.damage,self.player,self.mob = asyncio.create_task(MobEncounter()) I remove class and just leave empty fuction

[slate swan]

well, you cant.

because create_task doesnt return a value

[obtuse blaze]

smh

so how could I do it in this context?

[slate swan]

but, you can assign self.damage etc withing the async function itself

instead of returning them

[obtuse blaze]

my brain going boom

sry XD

[slate swan]

did you not understand what im trying to say?

[obtuse blaze]

imma be honest not really sorry for that im just trying to think in so much stuff

[slate swan]

# dont do this.
class Foo:
    def __init__(self):
       self.hello = asyncio.create_task(self.bar())
    
    async def bar(self):
       return "hello"
# do this instead
class Foo:
    def __init__(self):
       asyncio.create_task(self.bar())
    
    async def bar(self):
       self.hello = "hello"```

[obtuse blaze]

so in this case I would need to move the method "MobEncounter" to the button class

correct?

[slate swan]

your MobEncounter method is also faulty, you forgot to await many things there

[faint mural]

A definition of instance variables outside init isn't recommended in general, there are rare cases in which it is natural.

For example, when you have a parent class that defines several variables that its child classes won't use, and whose definition will make its child waste time or resources, or will be simply unaesthetic.

It should be defined there.

[obtuse blaze]

oh ye I was fixing it

cause I had it without await and wanted to make it into await thats why im asking here

cause I have this problem for a long long time

alr imma try tysm to everyone

[obtuse blaze]

I think I mess up

[mossy jacinth]

Hello! No error here but how can I make this more compact? So it doesnt take so many lines?

[sick birch]

It seems the only thing different between each is the color?

Consider using a dict to make it look better

[mossy jacinth]

can you show me an example?

[slate swan]

how would i have a changing discord bot status? so one will be like watching over many members another will be like !help

!e print

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :warning: Your 3.10 eval job has completed with return code 0.

await interaction.send(embed=embed)

[mossy jacinth]

It kinda works but if i dont name any color it just does not send anything

[sick birch]

I don't know if None is hashable

You might try checking if it's None seperately

Also if you don't say anything it might be "", not sure though

[mossy jacinth]

You mean like this? Did i do something wrong

( name2 = Color
name3 = Image)

[slate swan]

i think it is

!e

x = {None: 34}
print(x[None])

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

34

[sick birch]

yup

discord.py is probably giving you an empty string then

[sick birch]

you don't need to do that

[slate swan]

he's actually using nextcord ^^

i highly suggest using discord.py 2.0 tho

[sick birch]

embed_colors = {...}
if self.name2.value == "":
  # use random color
else:
  color = embed_colors.get(self.name2.value)

or something similar

[sick birch]

same thing

[mossy jacinth]

so like this?

[slate swan]

I need a gen bot made, can and willing pay!

[mossy jacinth]

isnt that against the rules here

rule 9 or something

[sick birch]

!rule 9

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[slate swan]

my fucking bad yo

[sick birch]

no worries

[slate swan]

use a dict

[glad cradle]

In theory using .get he doesn't even need the if else block

[slate swan]

need help by making it change the embed on the first part of the /help command aka dropdown menu

im trying to make it change the first text and make it change to a embed after select a dropdown

[slate swan]

Hello!

I am trying to make a verify command and when they clikc the button it sends them a capthca

I have the captcha down but I want to bot to respond with 'Check you dms'

But the dms part is a hyperlink to link to the bot and there dms

How would i do something like that?

Current code:

await interaction.response.send_message(f'{sender.mention} Check your [dms]()')

[sick birch]

You can use the jump_url of the message you sent to the user's DM

[slate swan]

how do that

[sick birch]

Which part?

Getting the sent DM message or getting its jump URL

[slate swan]

the linking to the dms

[sick birch]

!d discord.Message.jump_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.jump\_url

property jump_url```
Returns a URL that allows the client to jump to this message.

[slate swan]

how to i make it just to the dm?

[sick birch]

you get the DM message and call .jump_url on it

the user can click on that and it'll take them to the message in the DM

[slate swan]

can someone help me about discord.py custom command , permission check.

[slate swan]

Hey!

i was wondering how to do this:

i am using pycord

[sick birch]

those are context menus

[slate swan]

ty

also:

I am trying to add timestamps to my embeds i have that but its off by 7 hours my time how would i fix that?

datetime.utcnow()

how would i make it do mst time?

[slate swan]

discord.py has a method for this already, timestamp=ctx.message.created_at

[slate swan]

returns error

on @app_commands.check how can I put 2 fuctions?

[slate swan]

yea nvm, there is no actual ctx, since no message was sent

i'm sure theres a way for slash commands

don't know it off the top of my head

[slate swan]

found the fix lol

instead of datetime.utcnow()

just do

datetime.now()

[supple thorn]

sudden urge to get back to trying to make bots any significant differences between discord.py and disnake while i was away?

[supple thorn]

that is one sus folder name

its for a discord server with my friends

but whats the error mean

how do i fix this error

whats the intents argument

[slate swan]

Hello, i'm making a blackjack game in my bot and i'm running into an issue

in blackjack you can 'double down' but only if you have not yet drawn any cards after your original 2 starting cards, and if your 2 starting cards add up to a total of 9, 10 or 11 points.

I would like to make it so after the "draw" button has been clicked once, the "double_down" button will be disabled from then on until the game has ended, but I can not figure out how to do it.
I would also like for the "double_down" button to be disabled by default if the player's 2 starting cards do not add up to 9, 10 or 11.
I tried creating a function to evaluate the list player_hand and return true or false then use that value to define the disabled parameter for my button but that did not work out.

class BlackjackButtonHandler(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, ctx: discord.Interaction, player_hand, dealer_hand, deck):
        super().__init__()
        self.ctx = ctx
        self.player_hand = player_hand
        self.dealer_hand = dealer_hand
        self.deck = deck

    @discord.ui.button(label='Draw', emoji=bj_draw, style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def draw(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        # my code here

    @discord.ui.button(label='Double Down', emoji=bj_dd, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def double_down(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        # more code here

(I omitted most of the irrelevant code)

Please can somebody help me figure it out and thanks in advance (i am using discord.py 2.0.1)

import discord
import random


TOKEN = 'My Token'
intents = discord.Intents.all()

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot))

@bot.command()
async def displayembed(ctx):
  embed = discord.Embed(
   title = "Title",
   description = "Description",
   colour = discord.Colour.blue()
  )
  embed.set_footer(text="Footer")
  embed.set_author("Bread")
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

bot.run(TOKEN)

it gives me this error

how do I fix it

I was trying to make a simple embed since I'm new to coding a bot

[supple thorn]

how did you invoke the command

[supple thorn]

did you do !embed or !displayembed?

[slate swan]

!embed

is that wrong?

[supple thorn]

you named it displayembed

what you name the function is the command's name

well for now but you'll learn how to not make the function name the command name

[supple thorn]

yeah do !displayembed

[slate swan]

need help by making it change the embed on the first part of the /help command aka dropdown menu

async def self(interaction: discord.Interaction):
  class SelectView(View):
    @discord.ui.select(options=[
      discord.SelectOption(label="roblox", value="roblox", description="roblox commands"),
      discord.SelectOption(label="social", value="social", description="social command"),
    ])
    async def select(self, interaction, select):
      if select.values[0] == 'roblox':
        em = discord.Embed(color=0x00ff00)
        em.add_field(name='roblox', value='roblox commands')
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)
      if select.values[0] == 'social':
        em = discord.Embed(color=0x00ff00)
        em.add_field(name='social', value='social commands')
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)
  view = SelectView()
  await interaction.response.send_message('help command', view=view)```im trying to make it change the first text and make it change to a embed after select a dropdown

[slate swan]

Ok I will

what is the issue here?

I used !displayembed and this error came up

[supple thorn]

it's name="Bread"

[slate swan]

try to do

embed.set_author(name="Bread")

oh

[supple thorn]

it only accepts kwargs

[slate swan]

Oh

[supple thorn]

if you check the docs the parameters has a * in it

meaning any parameters after is a kwarg

[slate swan]

I see

It finally worked

async def displayembed(ctx):
  embed = discord.Embed(
   title = "Title",
   description = "Description",
   colour = discord.Colour.blue()
  )
  embed.set_footer(text="Footer")
  embed.set_author(name="Bread")
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)```
how would I go about turning this command into a cog in a separate sub-folder?

[supple thorn]

how did you jump that far from being new to cogs

[slate swan]

which version of discord.py are you using, it's different in different versions i think

3.11

[supple thorn]

discord.py not python version

[alpine cove]

bruh

[slate swan]

oh I don't know how to check that

[supple thorn]

do pip show discord.py

[slate swan]

how often are we allowed to repost problems here btw

if we dont manage to get help the first time

2.0.1

[supple thorn]

you should just get a help channel for that at that point

you'll have a better luck a random person will see the help channel rather than scrolling up here

[slate swan]

okay thanks

so how would I go about making cogs for discord.py 2.0.1? Just want my commands to be organized in separate folders but still linked to the main file

[supple thorn]

can you install disnake with 3.11?

seems like some libraries aren't supporting 3.11 yet

cause this should definitely be greater than 14.0

[gaunt agate]

how can i make my discord bot send a message in general when it goes online

[south coyote]

message.channel.send

[gaunt agate]

but in what function

[south coyote]

@client.event
async def on_ready(message):
    print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')
    await message.channel.send("Here's Johnny!")

[gaunt agate]

but it doesnt know what message is

[south coyote]

my bad

[supple thorn]

doesn't work

[gaunt agate]

yh

[south coyote]

my bad

[gaunt agate]

how do you do it then?

[south coyote]

@client.event
async def on_ready(message):
    print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')
    await message.channel.send("Here's Johnny!")

[gaunt agate]

doesnt work

@supple thorn do you know how to do it?

[south coyote]

put message in the parentheses

[gaunt agate]

i need to send it to the channel

[south coyote]

hmmm

if message.channel.id == <channel id>

[gaunt agate]

i got it to work

[south coyote]

doesn't that work?

like i said?

[gaunt agate]

yh

[supple thorn]

that would never worked

[gaunt agate]

like this

[south coyote]

cool

[supple thorn]

useless f-string

it's just a string with no variables needed

[south coyote]

true

[gaunt agate]

ik

[south coyote]

thanks for sharing man that was helpful

[primal token]

I doubt that would work

[south coyote]

im gonna try it

[gaunt agate]

it does

[supple thorn]

it would

just not

recommended

[primal token]

Thats odd how the channel object would be in cache on startup

[south coyote]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52916317/get-the-name-of-a-channel-using-discord-py

@client.event
async def on_ready(message):
    print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')
    channel = channel.get_channel("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
    await message.channel.send("Who's got some weed?")

that's supposed to work?

[gaunt agate]

no

[south coyote]

why

[sick birch]

IDs can't be strings

[south coyote]

i did that for sharing purposes

[obtuse blaze]

I'm using Ubuntu VM machine to host bot and SQlite ATM. To which SQL should I change to that would be compatible with Ubuntu? cause SQlite has been giving a lot of problems

[supple thorn]

oh hi robin

nice to see you again

[sick birch]

fancy seeing you around
how are things with you?

[obtuse blaze]

wrong place to ask?

[supple thorn]

good it's just a repeating pattern of going back into bots and then being on hiatus for like 4 months

now i can't install disnake on 3.11

[sick birch]

i'm pretty sure most of the libraries are still working on getting to 3.11

[supple thorn]

yeah

i might have to get 3.10 again

just to do this

[primal token]

Just use poetry

[hushed galleon]

its not just the redistributables you need but the actual MSVC++ build tools compiler crap

[sick birch]

is 311 on arch repos yet

[hushed galleon]

frozenlist, yarl, and multidict, which are dependencies of aiohttp, are missing prebuilt wheels for 3.11

[supple thorn]

so the desktop dev c++ option?

[hushed galleon]

yeah, pretty sure you can untoggle the windows sdk on the right side of that build tools installer to save a couple GB

[supple thorn]

oh nice it got reduced to 6.7gb to 4.6gb

this definitely gonna take hours

[supple thorn]

do i still need this after the libraries adds the prebuilt wheels for 3.11?

[hushed galleon]

nah

[supple thorn]

i'm deleting this shit after

also did any big differences happen when i was away

like between discord.py and disnake

[hushed galleon]

not that i know of

[supple thorn]

alright ig i'll keep using disnake unless i find something in discord.py that seems better

[fluid shadow]

guild = await client.fetch_guild(1026213629172924446)
role = await guild.fetch_roles()
role = discord.utils.find(lambda r: r.id == 1035377754201399307, role)
# role.members -> []

why does this return an empty list, I have members intent on

[hushed galleon]

fetch_guild wont include members with it

[fluid shadow]

Weird, then what would i use

[hushed galleon]

get the guild object that's cached by your bot using Client.get_guild(...)

that one will be populated with members through the gateway connection

[fluid shadow]

Thank you!

[supple thorn]

Damn

C:\Users\iamSkev\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\include\pyconfig.h(59): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'io.h': No such file or directory

[hushed galleon]

.> https://stackoverflow.com/a/50210015

i guess you might actually need all 6 gigabytes to install disnake

[supple thorn]

bruh

[hushed galleon]

lol my bad

[primal token]

Why not just use poetry and 3.10👽

[supple thorn]

i would rather stub my toe

[primal token]

Why?!??

[sick birch]

toe.pyi

name = client.get_guild(id).name

where client is a discord.Client instance of commands.Bot instance

[supple thorn]

noice finally

i need to somehow remind myself to get rid of this shit after they add support for 3.11

[hushed galleon]

you sure you dont want to keep the build tools? python's got more where that came from

[supple thorn]

maybe

depends if i remember when they support 3.11

[supple thorn]

ValueError: mutable default <class 'disnake.utils._MissingSentinel'> for field name is not allowed: use default_factory

i'm assuming this is because of 3.11

[slate swan]

for some reason it says undefined

but I put in the cog name correctly

[obtuse blaze]

how can I start an async fuction inside __init__? create_task doesn't work since its a ui.Select Class

[supple thorn]

you'd have to import the class from the embed.py to your main file

[slate swan]

is there no way to link the files without doing that?

thought a cog could do that

[vocal snow]

What async function are you trying to start

[vocal snow]

Cogs can't magically import themselves

You can consider using discord.py's extensions which will allow you to hot load/unload python modules and you can add cogs in those modules

[mossy jacinth]

someone explain please?

[slate swan]

I think it's just ctx.send_modal.

If it's a slash command.

nah its response

the error is referring to your view itself tho

can u show code for the view? @mossy jacinth

[slate swan]

Ah! I've been using too much pycord lately. 😅

[slate swan]

pretty sure its still .response.send_modal tho cause it's a slash cmd. but for non slash yea ctx.send_modal

[slate swan]

pycord uses ctx in slash cmds too

[hollow agate]

pycord is quite literally garbage

[paper sluice]

pygarbage

[slate swan]

trashcord

[slate swan]

huh. no its just a namespace if ur using ctx in slash cmds. its still .response.send_modal regardless if ur using ctx or inter

but yes pycord smells

[slate swan]

no

i mean you can,
but this exists : https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.ApplicationContext.send_modal

you just gotta do ctx.send_modal and it returns ctx.interaction.response.send_modal

bro what the fuck

why lmfaooooooooooo

we don't hate pycord for no reason

wow. thats next level right there

[pulsar bridge]

Anyone got a place with examples / detailed explanation of the @ error thing?
I read the docs but I’m too dumb to understand how to use it

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.error
Is the docs location of it

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an [`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") event limited to a single command. However, the [`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") is still invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

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

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

same thing but command sepcific

[pulsar bridge]

Aight, lemme check it out

[slate swan]

how can we format one liner for loops, like in the code below:

llist_embed.add_field(name='Activated Licenses', value='\n'.join([n for n in alic]))

i want to bold each element in the list but idk how to, i dont want to use it in the value directly coz then the format will apply to all items in the list except for the last one

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ruxukonica

why is it not keeping the tickets button online

"In order to keep views persistent, all their items need to have a custom id and a timeout of None"

can you make your bot start another bot?

[slate swan]

Wdym

[slate swan]

host bot

Oh i dont hsve yet

[slate swan]

i want my bot to start other bots

it is possible?

yes but not suggested

[slate swan]

hi

how i make my bot only be used by a role?

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

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

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

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

and whats the full command?

[naive briar]

I don't understand your question

[slate swan]

how to set it

in a command

[naive briar]

It's an decorator

[slate swan]

can u pls tell me the whole cmd?

[naive briar]

You did not define botperms

[slate swan]

how i add the role in?

[naive briar]

Set the item argument to either the role's name or its ID

[slate swan]

ok

[obtuse blaze]

How can I make that when sometimes a moderators name it sends them a dm with the message and timestamp of that message?

like this?

[split forge]

How I canFix this

Im trying / commands and embed

[slate swan]

u messed the indentation up

without looking at ur code we cant help u with that

u should check if something is in the wrong place (maybe just 3 spaces or so)

[split forge]

okay

@slate swan

[slate swan]

thats not enough code to see the problem

[split forge]

wait

can you come dm?

[slate swan]

sure

reaction is a class, u need the amount atribute

wait a min, i'll search in the docs

[obtuse blaze]

    async def on_message(self,message):```


How can I send a dm to a user with their id (I get id from DB) and send it on this event?

[slate swan]

reaction.count >= starData

[slate swan]

fetch the user

[vale wing]

await self.bot.get_user(id).send(...)```

[obtuse blaze]

tysm

[slate swan]

no

reaction.emoji is the name (str)

reaction.count is the count (int)

starData is the number of stars needed ig, but in ur case its type str

whats starData ?

yeah, but whats the value?

yes

print(type(data[0], data[0])

was sagt dir das?

what does that tells u

sry, switched to german for a sec xD

[gaunt agate]

how do i crash a discord bot within the code?

[slate swan]

define "crash"

so, what do u have to do, if reaction.count is an int?

and u want to compare both

[gaunt agate]

cut the server connection

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=bot#discord.ext.commands.Bot.close

int >= str 
# Error
int >= int(str)
# solution

[ionic edge]

Is your code copy pasted?

[gaunt agate]

thanks

[ionic edge]

or new to python?

Seems like

Yes, i thought you might me knowing about python but i guess you are a newbie like me lol

[slate swan]

np

[obtuse blaze]

is there a way to make sub options on a slash command?

[slate swan]

what's a sub option?

[obtuse blaze]

ok let me explain so its easier to understand im rly bad at explaning XD

take this for example, when user chooses Level it will show another options

depending on first choice

[shrewd apex]

wdym other options its only one argument

[winged coral]

No you'll just have to make this another way

Either list all possible arguments on that arg or make 2 more optional args that are used or not depending on the first choice

There's no way to make decisions based on the first choice until the command is actually sent

[mild pilot]

Hello guys, is there a "test bot" you can invite to check if your bots functions works? I know there was 2 years ago, i just cant find it anymore 😦

[faint mural]

Just write tests

[mild pilot]

Will try look it up

[mild pilot]

are you talking about "distest"? Or how should i write them?

[slate swan]

to use that bot as a test bot? or to make your bot test it features on that bot

[mild pilot]

i just wannna se if the bot i created greets people when they join the server

like you could invite "FishBot" on quakenet

[slate swan]

use an alt account then

i personally just dispatch my own events manually

[shrewd apex]

slash?

[slate swan]

if you want them to hide from normal users ( wont include owners and admins ) you can just turn it off from the server settings

yes it can definitely be done through a bot, ill let you know about the method and required perms
gimme a moment

[shrewd apex]

isnt there a check for app_commands?

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command.default_permissions

[slate swan]

the commands will still appear

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.app_commands.guilds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.guilds

@discord.app_commands.guilds(*guild_ids)```
Associates the given guilds with the command.

When the command instance is added to a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree"), the guilds that are specified by this decorator become the default guilds that it’s added to rather than being a global command.

Note

Due to an implementation quirk and Python limitation, if this is used in conjunction with the [`CommandTree.command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command "discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command") or [`CommandTree.context_menu()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.context_menu "discord.app_commands.CommandTree.context_menu") decorator then this must go below that decorator.

Example...

[shrewd apex]

can be added as a deco

[slate swan]

lol wtf

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.default_permissions
here's the decorator that you'll be using

[rugged shadow]

i'm getting back to Discord bots, what library should I use now?

[paper sluice]

hikari

[rugged shadow]

hiuikai?

ok

[paper sluice]

my fingers fell on the keyboard

[mighty pilot]

Is there a way to specify how many characters can be put into a slash command option

[glad cradle]

Which library are you using?

[mighty pilot]

dpy

[glad cradle]

I use disnake so idk

[mighty pilot]

do you know how its done on disnake

[slate swan]

what's the hex for the default embed color discord.py sends?

in the docs it says 0, but 0 is meant for solid black

!d discord.Colour.default

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour.default

classmethod default()```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour") with a value of `0`.

[mighty pilot]

#000000

that would be the hex for the interger 0

a quick google tells me #23272A is the 'official discord color palette black'

[slate swan]

i tried that and this is what i get

[mighty pilot]

try #23272A?

pulled it from a table on this page https://gist.github.com/thomasbnt/b6f455e2c7d743b796917fa3c205f812

[slate swan]

tried 0

yeah the second one works

[onyx lark]

does sombody make bot for free pls DM me

i need you if you do

[mighty pilot]

what kind of bot are you looking for? theres thousands already made

[onyx lark]

1. i want somting that has all in one
2. i want the name and logo to be my choyce

😄

[mighty pilot]

thats a lot of work. good luck in your search.

[onyx lark]

thx mate

[slate swan]

will using two different databases throughout my bot cause any performance issues or anything i'm not aware of? One being a large mongo database and the other being a large postgre database

[mossy jacinth]

any possible way to stop the example link at the ")!"?
So that the )! is in a normal white color?

[mighty pilot]

use "('https://......png')!" maybe

[slate swan]

can someone help me w making the buttons always work? everytime i run the bot twice the buttons are not working same w select menus, how do i make it work everytime?

[glad cradle]

yes

!d disnake.ext.commands.Param

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Param

disnake.ext.commands.Param(default=Ellipsis, *, name=None, description=None, choices=None, converter=None, convert_defaults=False, autocomplete=None, channel_types=None, lt=None, ...)```
A special function that creates an instance of [`ParamInfo`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.ParamInfo "disnake.ext.commands.ParamInfo") that contains some information about a slash command option. This instance should be assigned to a parameter of a function representing your slash command.

See [Parameters](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/slash_commands.html#param-syntax) for more info.

[glad cradle]

see min_lenght and max_lenght

[slate swan]

ahhh

[glad cradle]

you need persistent views, what library are you using?

[slate swan]

discord.py

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ruxukonica

thats the code

[glad cradle]

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

[shrewd apex]

not really but u will have two connections open when it's not really necessary

i see no point of having two different type of database storage system just for storing data

unless u are using one for like cache and other for storage or something

[primal token]

It would be better to have one database with 2 tables to make things easier implementing

[vale wing]

Ofc

[primal token]

Redis😳

[slate swan]

its is because my bot is a bit larger and used mongodb mainly, with already billions of documents and members data. I plan on switching to postgre for larger data entries as mongo is beginning to slow my bot down. I dont want to have to do a whole rewrite in the entire bot

[slate swan]

dont use a permanent postgres connection, they are resource consuming, use a pool instead

[slate swan]

we use redis for cache

[shrewd apex]

i don't think it's a mongo issue specifically u should check efficiency of ur code

[primal token]

You can use an algorithm to transfer all the data?

[slate swan]

mongo connections are usually cheap

[shrewd apex]

^^

[slate swan]

discord.py is async while mongodb motors wrapper is pymongo thrown in executor

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

it blocks dpy after thousands of fetches

[shrewd apex]

🗿

!pypi motor

[unkempt canyon]

motor v3.1.1

Non-blocking MongoDB driver for Tornado or asyncio

[slate swan]

you can interact with the mongo api using aiohttp / httpx* if you really want it to be complete async

[mossy jacinth]

Hey how can i check if the value of self.name2.value is in a list and if not send a message? I know the code is messy and i repeat myself, I tried using a dict but failed miserably...

[slate swan]

even there the buttons arent working all the time

[primal token]

You can just have a dict e.g

{"blue": 0x0000FF}

Then you can use dict.get and check the return value or just index the key with a try-except

[slate swan]

can someone help me w making the buttons always work? everytime i run the bot twice the buttons are not working same w select menus, how do i make it work everytime?

[zealous jay]

Do these events work with slash commands?

found this

but I don't see anything on the console

[slate swan]

yeah you just gotta add add between them

[slate swan]

code ?

[slate swan]

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'listener'

@bot.listener()

did that instead of @commands.Cog.listener()

but i dont have cogs then what do i do

[zealous jay]

are you using commands.Bot or discord.Client?

[slate swan]

commands.Bot

[zealous jay]

wasn't it bot.listen()?

[slate swan]

ill try

[shrewd crow]

can you even create discord bot in python btw?

[paper sluice]

you can

[shrewd crow]

really wow!

[paper sluice]

you can create one in any language which is capable of making web requests

[shrewd crow]

ohk! didnt knew that

[glad cradle]

you can build a discord Bot in assembly too

[shrewd crow]

i have no idea what assembly language is

[glad cradle]

the programming language closest to the machine language

[shrewd crow]

btw i never figured out what's the difference between the high level programming language and object oriented programming language

i have heard python is object oriented

or both

?

[sick birch]

There isn't always a difference

[shrewd crow]

i never figured it out

[sick birch]

You could also argue python isn't object-oriented

It's also high level

[shrewd crow]

oh

[sick birch]

Rust, is also not object-oriented and is high level (to a definition of high level)

[shrewd crow]

so it it like both?

[glad cradle]

python is pretty special

[sick birch]

It can be

Python gives you the option of using objects or not

You can do functional programming in Python if your heart desires so

[shrewd crow]

like what does objected oriented and high level means?

[sick birch]

Java

Object oriented and high level

[shrewd crow]

👀

[sick birch]

You probably want to take apart and define "object oriented" and "high level"
"object oriented" - any language that supports typical implementation details of object orientation, such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, etc
"high level" - how far away from the CPU it is, not in terms of physical distance, but that of abstraction layers

[paper sluice]

object oriented is basically dealing with data as objects, in python they are generally implemented using classes and high level basically means easier for humans to write/understand

[sick birch]

Having both, a language can be deemed to be "object oriented" and "high level"

[shrewd crow]

oh isee

[sick birch]

Examples of high level - Java, Python, Rust, JS/TS
Examples of low level - C, Rust, Zig, Assembly, etc

[shrewd crow]

oh!!

danm, didnt knew that,

[primal token]

A high level language is basically a language with allot of abstractions

Abstractions meaning features a user can use and other internal features

[slate swan]

and automatic memory management ofc

import discord
from discord.ext import commands 
import sqlite3
import random

class Event(commands.Cog):

    def _init_(self,bot):
        self.bot=bot

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        db = sqlite3.connect("main.sqlite")
        cursor = db.cursor()
        cursor.execute('''CREATE TABLE IS NOT EXISTS main (
            user_id INTERGER, wallet INTERGER, bank INTERGER
        )''')
        print("BOT IS ONLINE")

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        if message.author.bot:
            return
        
        author = message.author
        db = sqlite3.connect("main.sqlite") 
        cursor = db.cursor()
        cursor.execute ("SELECT user_id From main Where user_id is = (author.id)")
        result = cursor.fetchone() 
        if result is None:
            sql = ("INSERT INTO main(user_id, wallet, bank) VALUES ?, ?, ?")
            val = ("author.id 100,10")
            cursor.execute(sql, val) 
        db . commit() 
        cursor.close()
        db.close()```
This is what I have in the other folder but for some reason it says it can't import it

Really can't find the issue as to why it won't import

[primal token]

Why dont you just use the async function named setup?

[slate swan]

how do I go about using that function?

[whole sparrow]

Guys, how do I add a spaceb etween title and description

[primal token]

You just add it under a class declaration e.g

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

[slate swan]

guys

can someonehelp me w making cogs

[primal token]

and after that you would use discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension

[slate swan]

Ok gotta

my discord bot wont pop up in integrations, but its in the server. Any idea why?

[ripe blaze]

when using select/buttons - the buttons/selections dont work after I restart the bot.
is there a way to work around this?

[slate swan]

SAME

im trying to get help for it too

[sick birch]

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

see an example for making views persistent

[sick birch]

Have you synced?

[slate swan]

i did it'

and it still doesnt work

what do u mean sync?

[sick birch]

then you mustn't have done it right :p

[sick birch]

Sync your local commands to discord

if you don't everything stays on your computer

[slate swan]

ah, never knew this

how do I do this

[sick birch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py#L25-L28 like so

[unkempt canyon]

examples/app_commands/basic.py lines 25 to 28

async def setup_hook(self):
    # This copies the global commands over to your guild.
    self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=MY_GUILD)
    await self.tree.sync(guild=MY_GUILD)```

It works in another server, a test server. Just not the server the bot is gonna be utilized in

Hello, I have made a blackjack game for my bot using discord.py 2.0.1. The bot uses buttons that the user can press to choose whether they want to draw, stand or double down. I also created a timeout function that disables the buttons and effectively ends the game if too much time has passed without any user input.

Everything works as intended and the game itself runs perfectly fine, however I am running into an issue where the on_timeout function will still be called some time after the player has ended their game and I am looking for a way to 'cancel' the timeout after the game has ended.

here is my relevant code:

class BlackjackButtonHandler(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, ctx: discord.Interaction, player_hand, dealer_hand, deck, bet):
        super().__init__(timeout=3) # placeholder value
        self.ctx = ctx
        self.player_hand = player_hand
        self.dealer_hand = dealer_hand
        self.deck = deck
        self.bet = bet
        self.update()

    @discord.ui.button(label='Draw', emoji=bj_draw, style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def draw(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.Button):

        deal_card(self.player_hand, self.deck)

        embed_updated = embed_new(interaction, self.player_hand)

        elif determine_total(self.player_hand) > 21:

            embed_add_field_dealer_unknown(embed_updated, self.dealer_hand)
            embed_updated.add_field(name='Loser!',
                                    value='😢 You went bust, better luck next time!',
                                    inline=False)

            await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed_updated, view=None)

        # Game would 'end' here because the player went above 21, so the buttons will disappear and the timeout should be cancelled

    async def on_timeout(self):

        embed_timeout = embed_new(self.ctx, self.player_hand)
        embed_add_field_dealer_unknown(embed_timeout, self.dealer_hand)
        embed_timeout.add_field(name='Timed out!',
                                    value='🕑 You ran out of time!',
                                    inline=False)

        self.draw.disabled = True
        self.stand.disabled = True
        self.double_down.disabled = True

        await self.ctx.edit_original_response(embed=embed_timeout, view=self)

If anybody can help me figure this out it'd be much appreciated and thank you in advance.

[sick birch]

Is there another button you can use to end the game?

[slate swan]

class PersistentView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label='Green', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id='persistent_view:green')
    async def green(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('This is green.', ephemeral=True)

    @discord.ui.button(label='Red', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, custom_id='persistent_view:red')
    async def red(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('This is red.', ephemeral=True)

    @discord.ui.button(label='Grey', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey, custom_id='persistent_view:grey')
    async def grey(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('This is grey.', ephemeral=True)


class PersistentViewBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.default()
        intents.message_content = True

        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('$'), intents=intents)

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        self.add_view(PersistentView())

    async def on_ready(self):
        print(f'Logged in as {self.user} (ID: {self.user.id})')
        print('------')


bot = PersistentViewBot()


@bot.command()
async def prepare(ctx):
    await ctx.send("What's your favourite colour?", view=PersistentView())```
tried her code and it doesnt show it

[sick birch]

Is the setup hook being called? It's possible you may be on an older version of discord.py and setup_hook isn't being called

Probably not but worth putting a print statement in there

[slate swan]

oh maybe

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
    print(f"{bot.user.name} is online!")
    try:
      synced = await bot.tree.sync()
      print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
    except Exception as e:
      print (e)
        self.add_view(PersistentView())```

```    self.add_view(PersistentView())    
IndentationError: unexpected indent```

[slate swan]

I created 3 buttons for 'draw', 'stand' and 'double down'. The bot automatically detects when certain criteria have been met for the game to end and plays it out accordingly, so the user doesn't have to click a button to end the game themselves.

I'm looking for a way to explicitly stop the timeout from elapsing when these certain criteria have met (such as the player going 'bust' and getting above 21 points)

[sick birch]

Ah. You're looking for self.stop() within the view

[sick birch]

Not sure if setup hook is an event

I meant something like

class PersistentViewBot(commands.Bot):
  ...
  async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
    print("Setup hook called")
    self.add_view(PersistentView())

[slate swan]

are you able to give an example? I tried self.stop() already with seemingly zero effect

[velvet compass]

.bm command linking

[slate swan]

So my bot wont show up in my integrations page in my server. why?

how can i use a space between a slash command name

[ripe blaze]

this does work when I use it in its own file like a main file, but is there a way to do this inside a cog?

[mighty pilot]

Put self.stop() after you edit your message to reflect that they busted

[slate swan]

i tried using space between the name but it always gives me error

[rare echo]

subcommand

[slate swan]

can u give me quick example or link to documentation

[slate swan]

I have done, but i'm still getting timed out after going bust

        elif determine_total(self.player_hand) > 21:

            embed_add_field_dealer_unknown(embed_updated, self.dealer_hand)
            embed_updated.add_field(name='Loser!',
                                    value='😢 You went bust, better luck next time!',
                                    inline=False)

            await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed_updated, view=None)
            
            self.stop()

[rare echo]

damn i’m not home atm but i’m sure someone else can or i can once i’m back :)

[slate swan]

oh it's okey

thanks for help

[sick birch]

You can add_view inside your cog's __init__ given the cog is being loaded in your setup hook

[mighty pilot]

you did that for each button?

well i guess the only way youd bust is on a draw...

[mighty pilot]

try on_timeout(self) -> None:thats how mine looks and it works correctly

im not 100% sure what the -> does yet tbh i havent read up on it

[deft hill]

I have a ton of scammers in a server I am a staff in. They go by the name sᴛʀɪᴋᴇ ɪᴛ ʙɪɢ or 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗕𝗶𝗴. They are different fonts/language characters. Anyway to search all common fonts and languages for characters that resemble Strike It Big? I currently have some basic code that catches the newbs of the scamming world:

    if member.name.lower() == 'strike it big':
        await member.ban(reason='Impersonating Mark - Custom Bot Auto Ban')
        print('Banned a wild SIB impersonator!')
        embed = discord.Embed(
        title=":sparkles: Impersonator Banned :sparkles:", description=f"A member by the name of 'Strike It Big' joined the server and was instantly banned by our auto-detection service! \nUser Name: {member} \nUser ID: {member.id}", color=0x336EFF
                )
        await channel.send(embed=embed)
    if member.name.lower() == 'strikeitbig':
        await member.ban(reason='Impersonating Mark - Custom Bot Auto Ban')
        print('Banned a wild SIB impersonator!')
        embed = discord.Embed(
        title=":sparkles: Impersonator Banned :sparkles:", description=f"A member by the name of 'Strike It Big' joined the server and was instantly banned by our auto-detection service! \nUser Name: {member} \nUser ID: {member.id}", color=0x336EFF
                )
        await channel.send(embed=embed)

This is ran on_member_join.

[slate swan]

I put self.stop() as the very first line of code within the 'stand' and 'double down' buttons and they work, I don't get timed out after standing or doubling down

still getting timed out after going bust or landing on 21 after drawing though

update: i'm getting timed out after going bust or standing like 50% of the time

@mighty pilot (sorry forgot to click reply)

So my bot wont show up in my integrations page in my server. why?

[glad cradle]

do you have 50+ Bots?

[slate swan]

yes

[glad cradle]

the integrations page currently shows only the first 50 Bots

[slate swan]

so then?

[glad cradle]

remove some bots

[slate swan]

can I not manage the b ot
