!d discord.Guild.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.member\_count

property member_count```
Returns the member count if available.

Warning

Due to a Discord limitation, in order for this attribute to remain up-to-date and accurate, it requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") to be specified.

Changed in version 2.0: Now returns an `Optional[int]`.

[sick birch]

The reload slash command isn't showing up?

Did you sync?

Not sure if disnake has the same sync as discord.py

ah yikes looks like they changed it

give me a sec do so some research lol

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/slash_commands.html#slash-commands-start has information on "syncing"

Not sure I can help further, sorry 😦
My disnake knowledge is very limited

[slate swan]

is the command defined before or after bot.run(), could you show the full file

and the command doesn't appear in the server whose ID you provided?

did you reload your discord Client?

go to server integrations, your bot, and see if the command is there or not

was your bot invited with application commands scope?

add this to your main function and see: ```py
await bot.create_guild_command(sgi[0], reload)

[high mist]

im new to python can anyone tell me how to fix this

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, 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

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

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

[sick birch]

it's so common these days i may as well set up a macro for it

[slate swan]

add an on_message that scans the TypeError from attachments and autoresponds

[sick birch]

Heh

[high mist]

do you know where i should put it?

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = prefix)
client.remove_command('help')

okay thank you

[tropic estuary]

can someone help?```py
CommandRegistrationError: The alias bg is already an existing command or alias.

oh.

nvm

yeah got it :)

   await ctx.message.add_reaction(':white_check_mark:')
   print(f'Bot terminated by {ctx.author} at {datetime.datetime.utcnow()}.')
   await self.bot.close()

When I call self.bot.close() for the first time after starting my bot up, it seems to immediately log itself back in (I get another logging in using static token... in my console immediately afterwards).
When I call it a second time it seemingly closes the connection to Discord for good and the bot goes offline.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

[high mist]

is anyone willing to help fix me and my friends code

[shrewd fjord]

here

[steep estuary]

hey, i have issues with the emojis

emojis aren't getting displayed on embeds

[high mist]

nvm we figured it out ty for responding though

[fair shuttle]

can sm1 help me out

[shrewd fjord]

read the "error"

"Member is a required argument which is missing"

[fair shuttle]

oh

[steep estuary]

any idea?

why the emojis are not showing up on the next embed?

[fair shuttle]

did you do !kekwlaugh

[steep estuary]

i am doing <:SE4: 1050808261751869532>

[fair shuttle]

oh

[slate swan]

Try enable external emoji permissions for the everyone role if you haven't already, I had a similar issue and that was the fix for me

[steep estuary]

ohk

[fair shuttle]

im still trying to figured out whre is da missing argument?

[steep estuary]

already enabled

[steep estuary]

how you are using the command ?

[fair shuttle]

yeah

other command work

but when i do /whois

its not working

[steep estuary]

use Optional

[slate swan]

Set a default value for the member parameter

[slate swan]

Then I don't know, probably some other permissions-related issue, assuming you doubled-checks all the emojis are formatted properly

[steep estuary]

try member: discord.Member=None

[fair shuttle]

yup ty loll

[quick gust]

can u try without leaving a space in between?

[steep estuary]

there is no space in between in my code

i added here just to send the message

[quick gust]

ah okay

[quick gust]

and it was working before?

[steep estuary]

it was not looping

but after i fixed the looping now it is not showing the emojis

[naive briar]

Does the bot have access to the emojis

[steep estuary]

yes

it is displaying the emojis in the first embed

[naive briar]

Like in the server that emoji is from

[steep estuary]

also it loops 3-4 times and then stops

[steep estuary]

yes

[quick gust]

strange

[steep estuary]

should i get the emoji using bot.get_emoji(id) everytime rather than just sending <:SE4: 1050808261751869532> ?

[quick gust]

you can try

and u dont need to get it everytime

[naive briar]

Same thing

[quick gust]

get each once and store it

[naive briar]

They format it pretty much the same

[quick gust]

worth a shot tho

async def add_warning(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, punishment_name: str, warnings_amount: int, punishment_duration: int):
what's the best way to add a description to the arguments (punishment_name, etc.)?

[naive briar]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/emoji.py#L137-L140

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_comamnds.describe

[potent light]

Depends on what you want to do with it. bot.get_emoji(id) is an object so you can use something like name() on it. <:SE4: 1050808261751869532> is a str and I believe that the emojis methods and attributes don't work on it.

[quick gust]

typo

oh? nvm

[potent light]

xD

discord.app\_commands.describe

@discord.app_commands.describe(**parameters)```
Describes the given parameters by their name using the key of the keyword argument as the name.

Example:

```py
@app_commands.command(description='Bans a member')
@app_commands.describe(member='the member to ban')
async def ban(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Banned {member}')
```  Alternatively, you can describe parameters using Google, Sphinx, or Numpy style docstrings...

[quick gust]

yeah that

[naive briar]

:(

[potent light]

thanks!

[potent light]

It means that you didn't give an argument to the command when using it.
❌ !whois proplayer (as proplayer is a str).
✅ !whois @proplayer (this will work as @proplayer is a member object. The ID of the member like 116549849849847 should work as well.

[fair shuttle]

yeah i figured

[quick gust]

theyre typehinting it to discord.Member so even just the name will work if the member exists

[potent light]

So !whois Infernum would work as Infernum will be considered an object?

[quick gust]

sure

if u typehint it

[potent light]

Nice

Converts to a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member").

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

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

[potent light]

Nice, it even works by nicknames

[potent light]

I want to make a dynamic options slash command. The concept is basically to get the options from the database rather than directly setting them within the code like:

@app_commands.command()
@app_commands.choices(choices = [data_fecthed_from_db]
async def foo()

Is there any good method other than autocomplete? not even sure if autocomplete will do it.

[slate swan]

why does my discord button say this interaction faied after 3 minutes of being sent

[torn sail]

Autocomplete is the only way

[potent light]

Do you respond to it?

[potent light]

Alright, Matser

[torn sail]

You may have to check the value of the autocomplete because a user doesn’t have to follow the autocomplete options

[potent light]

wdym?

    @app_commands.command()
    async def fruits(interaction: discord.Interaction, fruit: str):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Your favourite fruit seems to be {fruit}')

    @fruits.autocomplete('fruit')
    async def fruits_autocomplete(
        interaction: discord.Interaction,
        current: str,
    ) -> typing.List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
        fruits = ['Banana', 'Pineapple', 'Apple', 'Watermelon', 'Melon', 'Cherry']
        return [
            app_commands.Choice(name=fruit, value=fruit)
            for fruit in fruits if current.lower() in fruit.lower()
        ]```
`TypeError: unknown parameter: 'fruit'`

[upbeat otter]

the timeout of the view that the buttons are contained in is lesser than 180 seconds

[upbeat otter]

it's frui not friut

[potent light]

What line?

[upbeat otter]

nvm I read it wrong

[torn sail]

Well the autocomplete is just a hint for the user. They can still enter whatever they want.

[potent light]

lol

[torn sail]

Just in case you didn’t already know

[upbeat otter]

idts they can

[torn sail]

Huh then idk

[potent light]

I think I get what you mean

[potent light]

though what's wrong with this?!

    @app_commands.command()
    async def fruits(interaction: discord.Interaction, fruit: str):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Your favourite fruit seems to be {fruit}')

    @fruits.autocomplete('fruit')
    async def fruits_autocomplete(
        interaction: discord.Interaction,
        current: str,
    ) -> typing.List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
        data = []
        fruits = ['Banana', 'Pineapple', 'Apple', 'Watermelon', 'Melon', 'Cherry']
        for fruit in fruits:
            data.append(app_commands.Choice(name = fruit, value = fruit))
        return data```
same error.

[upbeat otter]

changing a list comp to a simple for loop isn't the error, the autocomplete decorator is the one causing the error

[potent light]

    @app_commands.command()
    async def fruits(interaction: discord.Interaction, fruit: str):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Your favourite fruit seems to be {fruit}')

    @fruits.autocomplete('fruit')
    async def fruits_autocomplete(
        interaction: discord.Interaction,
        current: str,
    ) -> typing.List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
        data = []
        fruits = ['Banana', 'Pineapple', 'Apple', 'Watermelon', 'Melon', 'Cherry']
        """for fruit in fruits:
            data.append(app_commands.Choice(name = fruit, value = fruit))"""
        return data```
same error.

[potent light]

@fruits.autocomplete('fruit') this part

[upbeat otter]

yeah

are you inside a cog or smth?

[potent light]

yes I am

[upbeat otter]

you need to add a self in the methods then
just copying the docs examples and expecting it to work isn't gonna work too well every time

[potent light]

worked, thanks!

[fair shuttle]

any1 know if theres a way to have a command to see how many boost we have in server

like a command like that?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.premium_subscription_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.premium\_subscription\_count

The number of “boosts” this guild currently has.

[slate swan]

Or Guild.premium_subscribers returns a list of boosting members

[fair shuttle]

where do i put that in my command code?

[potent light]

Is there anyway to add a description to the choice when using autocomplete and fetching the options from the database?

[potent light]

You need to get the guild object using ctx.guild then getting the total boosts from it: ctx.guild.premium_subscription_count

[fair shuttle]

alrr

[slate swan]

you could add it in the autocomplete name itself maybe, there's nowhere else you can do that

[potent light]

I want to add a description not a name

Something like this @app_commands.describe(punishment_name = "The name of the punishment") but inside the autocomplete.

[slate swan]

, there's nowhere else you can do that

[potent light]

Ooooooooh!! hold on

@app_commands.command()
async def ban(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    """Bans a member

    Parameters
    -----------
    member: discord.Member
        the member to ban
    """
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Banned {member}')```

[upbeat otter]

ok and

[potent light]

im thinking of how to use that

[upbeat otter]

ok

[potent light]

ohhh im dumb

I was confusing between an argument and a choice

[calm jacinth]

i put this in the 4th line ?

[sharp pawn]

you can either edit the fourth line or just completely erase it and put the one i provided you

[sharp pawn]

not this

[calm jacinth]

yeah got it

[calm jacinth]

this in the 3rd line

[sharp pawn]

refer to this

[sharp pawn]

yes indeed

make sure to leave a line

[calm jacinth]

I did

[timid spade]

[<ActionRow children=[<SelectMenu type=<ComponentType.select: 3> custom_id='somethingunique' placeholder=None min_values=1 max_values=1 options=[<SelectOption label='Light Purple' value='Light Purple' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Purple' value='Purple' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Dark Purple' value='Dark Purple' description=None emoji=None default=False>] disabled=False channel_types=[]>]>] anyone know how can i get values only from this list?

[calm jacinth]

should i erase the last code?

bot.run()

[sharp pawn]

go to the discord developer page

[calm jacinth]

then ?

[sharp pawn]

nah

[sharp pawn]

you'll see intents

holdup

[calm jacinth]

;-;

[calm jacinth]

waiting

[sharp pawn]

enable these three from the bot section in developer poryal

[calm jacinth]

kk

[sharp pawn]

alr alr

[calm jacinth]

it worked
tyty

[sharp pawn]

no worries man

[calm jacinth]

the bot commands are not working ;-

nvm it works

[sharp pawn]

what type of bot are u planning to make anyway

[calm jacinth]

a fun/mod bot

[sharp pawn]

i see

you should try to

i guess make something thats not already there

maybe an rpg game bot or something

[naive briar]

Just get it?

[timid spade]

like i wanna store all the value= in another list with different index of each
the list i typed here has only 0 index and saved everything in it
i want the label\values only from the list

[naive briar]

Then get it

[timid spade]

how

[naive briar]

Exact same but from list

[timid spade]

i cant just go like var1 = list.value or something
the value will change for every interaction
is there any function or method which will return the value part only?

[naive briar]

JUST get it from the list first

Do you know how lists works in general

[timid spade]

well i cant understand what you are saying
can you like show my the lines i have to type?

list = [<ActionRow children=[<SelectMenu type=<ComponentType.select: 3> custom_id='somethingunique' placeholder=None min_values=1 max_values=1 options=[<SelectOption label='Light Purple' value='Light Purple' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Purple' value='Purple' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Dark Purple' value='Dark Purple' description=None emoji=None default=False>] disabled=False channel_types=[]>]>]

imagine this is the list
how will you get the value only into another variable without typing the value by hand?

[quick gust]

for loop

[quick gust]

u use a for loop

im hoping u know what that is

[timid spade]

yep ik

[naive briar]

!e

class Obj:
    value = "meow"


values = [Obj(), Obj()]
for item in values:
    print(item.value)

[timid spade]

ok wait

thanks

[slate swan]

because message is not a Message anylonger, you made it an integer

[steep moon]

anybody have idea on which lanuage dank memer bot was made?

[vocal snow]

javascript

don't make it an integer

[naive briar]

Click what

[autumn helm]

the option in the dropdown

[naive briar]

You should get an error then

[vocal snow]

or "Interaction Failed"

[naive briar]

Your dropdown callback needs an argument that represents the dropdown

[autumn helm]

I have this and when I click the option this error comes: 2022-12-28 12:57:07 ERROR discord.ui.view Ignoring exception in view <MyView timeout=None children=1> for item <Select placeholder='Suche eine Option aus' min_values=1 max_values=1 disabled=False options=[<SelectOption label='Ticket öffnen' value='Ticket öffnen' description='Öffne ein neues Ticket!' emoji=None default=False>]> Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\discord\ui\view.py", line 425, in _scheduled_task await item.callback(interaction) File "C:\Users\Documents\coding\discord\ticket_bot.py", line 134, in select_callback if self.values[0] == "Ticket öffnen": AttributeError: 'MyView' object has no attribute 'values'

That's how Python classes work

[autumn helm]

how I do that? I'm new to python and coding

[naive briar]

Add an argument to the callback

Like select: ui.Select

[autumn helm]

ok, thank you very much

one more question, how can I make, that you can use the dropdown unlimited times?

I set the timeout to None and set an custom_id but it doesn't work

[naive briar]

You already can do that 🤷

[naive briar]

!d discord.Client.add_view

discord.Client.add\_view

add_view(view, *, message_id=None)```
Registers a [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View") for persistent listening.

This method should be used for when a view is comprised of components that last longer than the lifecycle of the program.

Can someone tell me how do i add status in my bot ?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(bot.user.name)
    print(bot.user.id)
    print('------')

@bot.command()
async def greet(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"Hello {ctx.author.mention}")

@bot.command()
async def add(ctx, a: int, b: int):
    await ctx.send(a+b)

@bot.command()
async def multiply(ctx, a: int, b: int):
    await ctx.send(a*b)

@bot.command()
async def greetings(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"Greetings {ctx.author.mention}")

@bot.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"Hello {ctx.author.mention}")

@bot.command()
async def bye(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"Bye {ctx.author.mention}")

bot.run('token')

btw I want to convert my bot comands to "/" so that whenever anyone type "/" it shows my bot commands. How can i do it? (also an excuse the remove the author mention ;-;

[calm jacinth]

i did not put my bot token here for safety

I also want to log everything that happens
like interactions with bot ;-;

@sharp pawn my man please help me

[sharp pawn]

hey man what's up

ah

got you man, just give me a second I'm almost done w my assignment

[calm jacinth]

thank you man. I really appreciate your help.
please forgive me if I am being annoying to you ;c

[sharp pawn]

not at all dude

its really fine

what kind of status do you want?

a status like "hello im (bot)" or similar?

doesn't really matter u can edit the text

[calm jacinth]

nah Like playing games (custom)
or doing (custom)

[calm jacinth]

like this
@sharp pawn ;-;

[sharp pawn]

alright man i got you

[calm jacinth]

:D can you also teach me how to convert my commands into "/" so that wheneevr someone types "/" in chat my bot pops up :D

[sharp pawn]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
activity = discord.Game(name="you can edit this to whatever you like", type=3)
await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=activity)
#here, you can change the status of the bot
print("the bot is ready")

[calm jacinth]

can you tell me at which line I should put it ?

[sharp pawn]

well

you should remove your existing bot event and replace it with this one

[calm jacinth]

you can look here :D

[calm jacinth]

:o oke oke

[sharp pawn]

also

[calm jacinth]

it shows an error

its a big error

[sharp pawn]

replace the fifth line w this,

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/', intents=intents, activity=activity, status=discord.Status.idle

[calm jacinth]

:o oke

[sharp pawn]

you can change the idle to dnd

its a matter of choice

[calm jacinth]

the fifth line contains the command prefix :o

[sharp pawn]

lmk if it works

[calm jacinth]

kk

[calm jacinth]

it shows syntax error

[sharp pawn]

what's the error

[calm jacinth]

where does the bracket close?

[sharp pawn]

mu bad

replace the fifth line w this,

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/', intents=intents, activity=activity, status=discord.Status.idle)

[calm jacinth]

[sharp pawn]

did it work?

[calm jacinth]

yesh brother :D

[sharp pawn]

wdym?

[calm jacinth]

how do i remove the ctx.author.mention

[upbeat otter]

backspace :<

[sharp pawn]

ah

[calm jacinth]

it shows error if i do it

[upbeat otter]

...

error.....

[sharp pawn]

@bot.command()
async def greet(ctx):
await ctx.send("hello!")

[calm jacinth]

i can send a ss

[slate swan]

don't change(/suggest changing) your client's presence in an on_ready event

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/setting-different-statuses-on-your-bot/

[calm jacinth]

i remove the f ?

[sharp pawn]

yes yes

[calm jacinth]

:o let me try

[upbeat otter]

it doesn't really matter tho

[slate swan]

😔b-but f strings make your code cool

[calm jacinth]

shit doesn work D:

[upbeat otter]

just stop using strings

[sharp pawn]

show me the code 🙏

[jolly karma]

Hey can someone help me with something

[calm jacinth]

alrighty
sending the code

[upbeat otter]

no

[slate swan]

yes, use binaries and create string using a map

[calm jacinth]

[upbeat otter]

just don't use strings

[jolly karma]

I can give you an evolution stone :3

[upbeat otter]

lmao

I'm fine, what's the issue

anything after client.run won't work since it creates an endless loop

[calm jacinth]

@sharp pawn brothr here is my code ;o

[jolly karma]

Its just that i wanna make a dscord bot that can have an api that sends a request to my website

[slate swan]

unfair behaviour towards the most convenient data type in python

[upbeat otter]

use aiohttp

[upbeat otter]

don't use python 😔

above client.run

[jolly karma]

Is that sum Library?

[slate swan]

yeah no that's all i know when it comes to programing languages

[upbeat otter]

yep yep
it's the same library that discord.py uses internally

!pip aiohttp

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp v3.8.3

Async http client/server framework (asyncio)

[upbeat otter]

💀

?

[slate swan]

!pip httpx bite me

[unkempt canyon]

httpx v0.23.1

The next generation HTTP client.

[slate swan]

extra dependency, but better for simple api reqs

[sharp pawn]

the command should work just fine

what's the error tho

[calm jacinth]

it doesnt respond until i mention the bot

[jolly karma]

Im actually more familiar with pycord

[upbeat otter]

pycord isn't even related to discord bots

uh....yeah?

[slate swan]

pycord is discord.py under the shadows, it used the same

[jolly karma]

Yep

[sharp pawn]

you just have to say /greet and the bot should respond with hello

[slate swan]

pycord-v3 wants to know yr location

[upbeat otter]

ok

[calm jacinth]

i did

it doesnt respond until i type
/greet @high isle Devil

[jolly karma]

🗿

[upbeat otter]

above client.run

[loud junco]

what do i do lmao

its been one week and its still like this

[sharp pawn]

ur using replit right? try reloading the website

[calm jacinth]

alright

[loud junco]

trust me buddy
use other platform such as railway
dont use replit

[upbeat otter]

tf no

client.run should be at the last

all other code above it

[loud junco]

and why are there 2 client.run 🤣

[sharp pawn]

double client run??

[calm jacinth]

@sharp pawn doesnt work D:

[loud junco]

💀 nah nah

[sharp pawn]

i provided you the most general hello code

[calm jacinth]

:o

[sharp pawn]

maybe try replacing the " with '

[slate swan]

so u r 16 now gg, go to your bot's profile and add tags as per it's category on the portal

[loud junco]

what is he trying to do in def main

[calm jacinth]

i did this

[loud junco]

yes i am 16 now ;-; i waited for 10 months

[calm jacinth]

kk

[slate swan]

😂

[sharp pawn]

need to leave a line space between time.sleep and client token

should start from a new line

[loud junco]

its weird
i dont have choice

[calm jacinth]

i give up making discord bot ;c

[loud junco]

i typed game and no window show up

[slate swan]

your bot will never start, while True is blocking

[loud junco]

oo it works now

[slate swan]

tags aren't fixed, you can make ur own

[loud junco]

i see

[sharp pawn]

you shouldn't. the code is perfectly fine actually maybe just

switch to a new ide

[loud junco]

what is this guy trying to do
im so confused

[calm jacinth]

i am saving the code

[slate swan]

now i really wanna make a discord bot

[calm jacinth]

but I am changing the from replit

[slate swan]

again

[calm jacinth]

to something better

[loud junco]

save the code into ur pc

[sharp pawn]

we all should make discord bot together fr

[loud junco]

make a repo
and push it to some hosting server other than replit 💀

[calm jacinth]

fr

[calm jacinth]

which serevr should i host ?

[loud junco]

i recommend railway.app

[sharp pawn]

hey man switch to Sublime text or vsc

[sharp pawn]

heroku

[loud junco]

i use railway.app and vsc

[loud junco]

heroku is cringe now

[slate swan]

vsc I'll suggest

[sharp pawn]

and if ur gonna use replit then you can go along w uptime robot

[loud junco]

rate limits

[calm jacinth]

teach me
send me a vid if u can

[slate swan]

heroku now needs a credit card, might switch to oracle at this point

[sharp pawn]

i recommend you to code with vcs first and then shift the code to replit once ur done, then u can make ur code online 24/7 with the help of uptime robot

that's the most general way

[sharp pawn]

damn didn't know that

[loud junco]

i dont recommend replit cuz it will get u rate limited very frequently

[sharp pawn]

its been a while since I've coded

[sharp pawn]

shits so buggy dude

[loud junco]

oracle also need one if my memory serves

[slate swan]

might also want to read this
#965291480992321536 message

[loud junco]

ude?

[slate swan]

exactly what i wanna say, if you're using a credit card why not use it on oracle lol

[loud junco]

but im 16 man

i dont have cc
so i use railway.app

[slate swan]

same can't get a cc until i have a job

[loud junco]

lol

[sharp pawn]

is railway that good

[loud junco]

railway.app also support database

[sharp pawn]

i never really used it so i wouldn't know

[loud junco]

like really database instead of json 💀

[slate swan]

railway is decent, supports heroku builds docker and what not

[sharp pawn]

anyways

im planning to make an adventure rpg discord bot but it's too time consuming

the quest, missions, item crafting and shit

[loud junco]

im making one

[sharp pawn]

ong?

[loud junco]

rpminecraft

its in my bio check it out if u want definitely not advertising

[sharp pawn]

nah not minecraft

like a pure rpg game on discord

with a couple of starting character you can choose

[loud junco]

oo u mean mmo

[slate swan]

open source? 🤔

[sharp pawn]

with different powers, ability and attacks

[loud junco]

yup

[slate swan]

send link

[loud junco]

alright let me explain

[sharp pawn]

its cool but again it's gonna drain me out

[calm jacinth]

send me a vid on how to use it

[loud junco]

rpminecraft(public) = replit
rpminecraft beta(private) = railway.app

[sharp pawn]

vsc isn't that difficult

[loud junco]

because i started the whole thing in replit
so im making a clone version of it without destroying it

[sharp pawn]

just download it and open a workspace

[calm jacinth]

i am dumb ;-;

[loud junco]

youtube how to download visual studio code

[calm jacinth]

wai u talkin abot visual studio code?

[sharp pawn]

yes ofc

[loud junco]

im not sure how to give replit's source but maybe this
https://replit.com/@JUANHAN/RPMinecraft#main.py

alright the code updated every sunday part is a lie

[slate swan]

so you just don't have an option to make the source close lmao

[loud junco]

LOL

technically yes

[calm jacinth]

;-;

[loud junco]

i will make the release version open source
but the beta version will be close source

[sharp pawn]

what's wrong

[shrewd apex]

u have if u on hacker plan

[loud junco]

but they know i dont have cc

[sharp pawn]

i wouldn't use replit tbh

[shrewd apex]

even with cc hacker plan is paid

student dev got like 6 months free

[loud junco]

json 💀

now it makes me feel like hanging myself

terraforming json to sql

[slate swan]

ik but he's not using it

[loud junco]

now i know why sarth and the bois tell me to switch long time ago

[shrewd apex]

well hopefully u jump to asyncpg directly and don't pit stop on sqlite

[supple ridge]

any idea how can i print the value of name number level and the percentage of this embedm

[sharp pawn]

@calm jacinth try using this code

[shrewd apex]

well ez way split at special charcter complicated way use regex match groups then

[loud junco]

formatted string ig?

[loud junco]

using postgres

the downside of railway.app is it only works for 21 days a month so basically now im waiting for 1 jan 2023

people celebrate 1 jan for new year
i celebrate it for my bot

anyway

did it work

[calm jacinth]

testing

lmk if any error occurs

[calm jacinth]

kk

[loud junco]

1. install visual studio code

5. link ur repo here -> https://railway.app

take one step at a time dont rush
its not gonna end up well if u rush

[sharp pawn]

wait you dont know what rpm is? its just a small discord rpg minecraft bot that im currently working on and it has reached 100 servers in first week of release

[shrewd apex]

wdym identify a special string

[quick gust]

sarth got brain damage

[calm jacinth]

:o noice
how do u release bots ;-;

[loud junco]

the server link is in my bio just saying definitely not advertising

[shrewd apex]

wouldn't be the first time

[supple ridge]

i meant special character

like how to split?

[loud junco]

i submit it to top.gg and it got approved

[shrewd apex]

copy the character then use the split method

[slate swan]

honestly yeah 💀 why don't people read until they are being spoonfeeded

[calm jacinth]

@sharp pawn bot only replies when pinged

[shrewd apex]

!d str.split

[unkempt canyon]

str.split

str.split(sep=None, maxsplit=- 1)```
Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the delimiter string. If *maxsplit* is given, at most *maxsplit* splits are done (thus, the list will have at most `maxsplit+1` elements). If *maxsplit* is not specified or `-1`, then there is no limit on the number of splits (all possible splits are made).

If *sep* is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped together and are deemed to delimit empty strings (for example, `'1,,2'.split(',')` returns `['1', '', '2']`). The *sep* argument may consist of multiple characters (for example, `'1<>2<>3'.split('<>')` returns `['1', '2', '3']`). Splitting an empty string with a specified separator returns `['']`.

For example:

message content intent be like

[sharp pawn]

u need to switch to a new ide fr man

[shrewd apex]

loooli u both need to get some python education nothing wrong with ide

[loud junco]

i mean ¯_(ツ)_/¯

lo..LI???

[sharp pawn]

then it should work right?

[calm jacinth]

ig mate ;c

ty for helping

[loud junco]

but u cant learn well without a good ide ig?

its like studying inside a warzone it works but not effective

[shrewd apex]

i started on repl and python idle

[loud junco]

i mean me too
but if u let me choose again i will start with vsc

[shrewd apex]

max level skill is writing in notepad

[loud junco]

nah

microsoft word
there is a video about it

[shrewd apex]

nah word has syntax highlighting

different colors and stuff

[slate swan]

@shrewd apex you have local pgsql server or use a remote host?

[loud junco]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X34ZmkeZDos

@shrewd apex

🤣

[shrewd apex]

got local but remote works too no host tho

y? tho

[loud junco]

imagine a newcomer watched this and thought it was real

[loud junco]

let me present to u railway.app

[slate swan]

gonna start rewriting anya, need a pgsql server

[shrewd apex]

500 hrs limit

[shrewd apex]

mf i am gonna kill u

[slate swan]

lemme introduce you too credits limit hit already

[loud junco]

just look at this

[shrewd apex]

finish lore first

[loud junco]

paused from exceeding limits

[slate swan]

dw I'll do it after lore only

[loud junco]

anya?

[shrewd apex]

wdym dw its been a year now 😭

[shrewd apex]

his discord bot gf

[slate swan]

a discord bot i started but never completed

https://github.com/sarthhh/anya

[slate swan]

bitch she's 6

[shrewd apex]

and thats y ur pedo

[loud junco]

WTF

oh my days

call 911

[slate swan]

thats not what i mean when i say i love kids

[shrewd apex]

u got 6 year old pfp every alternate months hima, anya few others who idk

[slate swan]

he's tripping a girl rejected him yesterday cuz of his pokemon fantasies

[shrewd apex]

kek sarth on revenge mode

[slate swan]

umaru and chidori

[shrewd apex]

idk

[loud junco]

getting rejected is better than getting dumped

👀

[shrewd apex]

[calm jacinth]

@sharp pawn is dis a good about me for my bot ?

[slate swan]

!d json.dump life of an average "i learned from YouTube" discord bot developer

[unkempt canyon]

json.dump

json.dump(obj, fp, *, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, cls=None, indent=None, separators=None, default=None, sort_keys=False, **kw)```
Serialize *obj* as a JSON formatted stream to *fp* (a `.write()`-supporting [file-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-file-like-object)) using this [conversion table](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#py-to-json-table).

If *skipkeys* is true (default: `False`), then dict keys that are not of a basic type ([`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str"), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "int"), [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "float"), [`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "bool"), `None`) will be skipped instead of raising a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError").

The [`json`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#module-json "json: Encode and decode the JSON format.") module always produces [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str") objects, not [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") objects. Therefore, `fp.write()` must support [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str") input.

If *ensure\_ascii* is true (the default), the output is guaranteed to have all incoming non-ASCII characters escaped. If *ensure\_ascii* is false, these characters will be output as-is.

[shrewd apex]

who even looks at about me

[slate swan]

me

[calm jacinth]

someone people does

[shrewd apex]

hmm fair enough

[loud junco]

👀

alr i dumped json for sql

[slate swan]

atleast you didn't use txts

[loud junco]

so ye

[loud junco]

i only txt i use is requirements.txt ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

i don't even use it for that 😈

[sharp pawn]

makima sucks

[calm jacinth]

she da villian tbh
(only manga readers know why)

[sharp pawn]

yes yes

what was the need to kill power like fr

[calm jacinth]

come in dms

[calm jacinth]

so that she can see denji suffer
becuz denji killed gun devil

[sharp pawn]

isn't makima some sort of curse

alright we shouldn't talk abt anime in this channel

[calm jacinth]

yeah

[calm jacinth]

come in dms

[slate swan]

!ot there's these channels

[slate swan]

idky this exists but

[calm jacinth]

sucky sucky

[slate swan]

someone got some nice Command ideas?
i plan to make a study bot

command/functionality ideas

[sharp pawn]

must be able to solve basic and complex arithmetic

must be able to look up definitions of terms

must have a study reminder

[loud junco]

let them put notes in and quiz them

[sharp pawn]

yes yes a quiz command

[slate swan]

W

[loud junco]

my friend has this long time ago

💀

[quick gust]

reminders, noteits, googling a problem, a special calculator for complex maths

[slate swan]

@loud junco @sharp pawn ty for the suggestions 🫡
ill also add some voice levelling features etc

the the last 2 ones can be archived by some simple apis

[sharp pawn]

also, the bot must be able to summarise a large text into a small brief text

[slate swan]

💀 this gonna be a bit hard lol

[quick gust]

openAI is the only application i can think that does that, and its paid after 18$

[loud junco]

👍

[slate swan]

doing the reverse would have been easier

[quick gust]

oh i never saw an api for complex maths

[slate swan]

the first hard part would be how to take user inputs for those operations 💀

[sharp pawn]

there's textblob

[quick gust]

hm in that case

they can take a screenshot/picture of the problem and look for the solution

u can try to read the problem from the image

gonna be hard but worth it definitely if you plan on making the bot public

[slate swan]

time to kidnap doubtnet developers

[quick gust]

isnt it doubtnut

kidnap socratic developers

[slate swan]

maybe, i haven't used it much

[quick gust]

make them work for u

[vague zephyr]

she's a devil lol

[glossy edge]

Where can i find a guide to automatically pull updated code and restart the bot when the repository is updated (merged)?

[sick birch]

You're looking for GitHub actions CI/CD pipeline to auto deploy on prod

@feral timber I summon you to send this person the same link you sent me the other day

Kthxbye

[feral timber]

plz hold plz thanks

[feral timber]

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/understanding-github-actions
This one?
It's a bit general

[sick birch]

CC @glossy edge

[glossy edge]

Is there a specific GitHub action I'm supposed to use?

[feral timber]

You can see how we do it here -
We have a workflow that builds a Docker container and pushes it to GitHub's registry:https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml
And then all our deploy action has to do is login and give the server the new version:https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/.github/workflows/deploy.yml
We do have Kubernetes so that handles the replacing the container for us

[sick birch]

If it makes you feel any better I gave up on this

[feral timber]

Not really, it depends on what you're using on your server
i.e., if you have K8s you should use the K8s action, Docker for Docker, SSH? for bare metal as a last resort, etc, etc
They're all valid strategies, so it just depends on how you want to setup your server

[vale wing]

One sec

@glossy edge you probably need this https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/

[glossy edge]

Oh I see, I'm not using any Kubernetes, I run the bot through a tmux pane. Thanks for the info.

[glossy edge]

I will look into this also, thank you very much.

[feral timber]

I should really take a look at these sometime
Though I do think the self-hosted runner is a bit much
@sick birch - What do you think birdo? Could this work for you?

[sick birch]

I do dockerize my bots usually.
Pretty sure I even reviewed that PR for the page Exenifix linked, haha

Containerizing isn't the issue for me it's the auto deployment

[feral timber]

What have you tried?

[sick birch]

Nothing really
Just daunting

I think I'm gonna go with the option you mentioned the other day of pushing to ghcr

Deploy from there

[vale wing]

Yeah that's my guide

[feral timber]

That's what I do BTW
I still manually pull and restart the container when I want to
I want to add a webhook that kicks off a docker pull and restarts the container if the image changes
Then all GHA has to do is hit that webhook. Literally just a single web request

[glossy edge]

Sure, I'm assuming you're talking about the if guard

[solid orbit]

can someone help me in game development channel?

do you maybe know why my code is not working?

idk the sollution

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[slate swan]

!blocking , while True loops are blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

[slate swan]

just using await doesnt mean your became async

[calm jacinth]

Is it legal to make a discord bot using chat gpt ?

[vague zephyr]

i'm pretty sure it is

[mossy jacinth]

I never had this error. Please help me

[somber imp]

I'm pretty sure you have to send some message content along with the view

Oh wait your view isn't a view

It's a modal

There should be a send_modal method on interaction

Call that

[ember nest]

So I've been making that my bot auto delete any links sent in the server so I made a link that ends with .com or starts with http but some links like discord . gg etc doesn't contain any of them so what can I do

[vale wing]

You can recognise invites with regex discord\.(?:gg|com/invite)/[\w\d]+

[ember nest]

Hmmm what do you mean?

[vale wing]

Yk about regex?

[ember nest]

Uhh no

[glad cradle]

!regex

[unkempt canyon]

Regular expressions
Regular expressions (regex) are a tool for finding patterns in strings. The standard library's re module defines functions for using regex patterns.

Example
We can use regex to pull out all the numbers in a sentence:

>>> import re
>>> text = "On Oct 18 1963 a cat was launched aboard rocket #47"
>>> regex_pattern = r"[0-9]{1,3}"  # Matches 1-3 digits
>>> re.findall(regex_pattern, text)
['18', '196', '3', '47']  # Notice the year is cut off

See Also
• The re docs - for functions that use regex
• regex101.com - an interactive site for testing your regular expression

[ember nest]

Hmm what's that lmao

[vale wing]

For links uncomplicated one would be https?://[-\w]+\.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@])*

Just made it myself hopefully this is right

[vale wing]

.bm

[lament depot]

Click the button to be sent your very own bookmark to [this message](#discord-bots message).

[vale wing]

@ember nest as said in embed it's tool for finding patterns in strings

So if you want to search for all links you just do

LINKS_PATTERN = re.compile(r"https?://[-\w]+\.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@])*")
links = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN, message.content)```

Like lemme demonstrate

[ember nest]

So like it check if message have more than 1 of the strings that in https?://[-\w]+\.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@])* and if it's true it should delete the message?

[vale wing]

!e ```py
import re

LINKS_PATTERN = re.compile(r"https?://[-\w]+.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)*")
content = "Hello please follow https://google.com then https://pythondiscord.com/pages/guides"
links = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN, content)
print(links)```

That's wrong regex sorry

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

['https://google.com', 'https://pythondiscord.com/pages/guides']

[vale wing]

Ok now it's right

Forgot the +

@ember nest you don't really need to worry about pattern if you aren't familiar with regex, it's a pretty complicated thing although very useful and should be learned, however for now you can use provided patterns
discord\.(?:gg|com/invite)/[\w\d]+ for discord invites
https?://[-\w]+\.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)* for links

[alpine cove]

its not that complicated

[vale wing]

Subjective

[alpine cove]

its just a lot to learn

and will seem overwhelming at the beginning

but you'll get the hang of it easily

[ember nest]

What is contect for

[vale wing]

You check what? Messages content

[ember nest]

So now after that

How to make the bot check if the message had that to delete on on_message

[vale wing]

Sorry, I am not a spoonfeeder. You have got 2 patterns and you receive message content in on_message, can be accessed via message.content attribute

You use re.findall function for getting all substrings matching pattern in given string

[ember nest]

But I mean like that if someone just sending message any message(and any of this pattern things in the message) his message will be deleted as well

[vale wing]

Idk what else to explain without sending the full code

[ember nest]

Explaining with the code is better tbh I always understand like that

I am trying to imagine how that would be in my head but I can't get it

[vale wing]

Explaining with code != spoonfeeding (giving the full ready working code)

[ember nest]

Unless I want to learn not just copy - paste

[vale wing]

If someone sends a message with no links, re.findall() will return an empty list

[ember nest]

Oh

Hmmm but I can't understand how to use that in the if etc

[vale wing]

And you can handle situations if there is a link or if there's no link by checking length of returned list

[ember nest]

Hmmm

And can I make another pattern with discord links and add that new variable to the re.findall ?

[vale wing]

!e ```py
import re

LINKS_PATTERN = re.compile(r"https?://[-\w]+.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)*")

def has_links(txt: str) -> bool:
return len(re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN, txt)) > 0

text_with_links = "Hello please follow https://google.com then https://pythondiscord.com/pages/guides"
text_with_no_links = "Hello my name is Joe"

print(has_links(text_with_links))
print(has_links(text_with_no_links))```

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | True
002 | False

[ember nest]

Such as that

LINKS_PATTERN = re.compile(r"https?://[-\w]+\.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)*")
LINKS_PATTERN2 = ("discord\.(?:gg|com/invite)/[\w\d]+")
    content = "Hello please follow https://google.com then https://pythondiscord.com/pages/guides"
    links = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN, LINKS_PATTERN2,  content)

[ember nest]

This would be okay as well?

[vale wing]

You gotta do findall separately for each pattern

[ember nest]

Oh

And add content with each one?

[vale wing]

Or you can merge patterns (that's not what I'd recommend to do)

[vale wing]

Yeah

[ember nest]

Nah that would be a mess tbh

[vale wing]

First check for links then for invites

[vale wing]

2nd pattern should be compiled as well

[ember nest]

LINKS_PATTERN = re.compile(r"https?://[-\w]+\.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)*")
    content = "Hello please follow https://google.com then https://pythondiscord.com/pages/guides"
    links = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN, content)
    
    LINKS_PATTERN2 = re.compile("discord\.(?:gg|com/invite)/[\w\d]+")
    links2 = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN2, content)
    

[ember nest]

Like that ? @vale wing

[vale wing]

LINKS_PATTERN2 = re.compile(r"discord\.(?:gg|com/invite)/[\w\d]+")```
Forgot the `r`

The rest is ok

[ember nest]

Alright

Now the compile and findall is done

So now how to make the bot search if it's link to delete messages and if nots not link to ignore it

[vale wing]

Listen for on_message and apply that thing to message.content, then check for amount of links/invites ig

[ember nest]

So someone like ```py
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
LINKS_PATTERN = re.compile(r"https?://[-\w]+.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)*")
content = "Hello please follow https://google.com then https://pythondiscord.com/pages/guides"
links = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN, content)

LINKS_PATTERN2 = re.compile(r"discord\.(?:gg|com/invite)/[\w\d]+")
links2 = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN2, content)
if message.content in links or message.content in links2:
    await message.delete()

Something like that?

@vale wing

[vale wing]

1. Use @bot.listen() instead of @bot.event for reasons if you'd like me I can tell
2. Why are you checking hardcoded content? You're supposed to check message.content
3. Incorrect condition, you should be checking len() of your links and links2

With?

[ember nest]

Wdym about 2.

[vale wing]

You need to check content of received message right? Not of the thing you made up that is same on every message

Elaborate, does it give any error?

What's expected behaviour and what's actual

[ember nest]

So how can I do that

[stone stream]

Hello

How can I send code in colour ?

[ember nest]

I read that a lot but I can't understand bruh

[vale wing]

!code ?

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[vale wing]

Well what's your python knowledge level? OOP or lower

[stone stream]

thank you

[alpine cove]

for loops

[ember nest]

Kinda middle range

[vale wing]

Happens

[ember nest]

I've been learning discord.py for around 1 month

But like I don't understand what you mean

[vale wing]

Just discord.py, not the python?

Discord.py requires some base

[ember nest]

I learned python for like 3-4 months before

[vale wing]

Time doesn't matter but the knowledge you got does

[ember nest]

Yeah it's kinda cool

But I don't understand what you meant like sorry my English is not that good tbh lol

[vale wing]

So do you know classes and objects

[ember nest]

Yeah

[vale wing]

Ok great

Then I just gotta rephrase

[ember nest]

I didn't get in classes much though

I focused more on the more used things

Since I am just learning alone for fun without any courses

[vale wing]

In on_message you receive a message object, you can access attributes of messages via it. The attribute you need to check is message.content. It is a string with message content. Then you need to use re.findall on the message.content to find links the content contains

[stone stream]

import discord

client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default(), command_prefix="!")


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is ready.")


@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    print(message.content)


client.run("TOKEN")

The print message.content doesn't works

[ember nest]

So like that ```py
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
LINKS_PATTERN = re.compile(r"https?://[-\w]+.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)*")
content = "Hello please follow https://google.com then https://pythondiscord.com/pages/guides"
links = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN, content)

LINKS_PATTERN2 = re.compile(r"discord\.(?:gg|com/invite)/[\w\d]+")
links2 = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN2, content)
if len(links) or len(links2) in message.content:
    await message.delete()

Like this?

[vale wing]

message_content intent required

[ember nest]

.

[stone stream]

👀 what's that

I am a beginer I began to code my bot this afternoon

[vale wing]

The tutorial you found is bad

[ember nest]

@vale wing

[stone stream]

ok...

[vale wing]

In docs there's an actual tutorial iirc

[alpine cove]

funfact: most are

[ember nest]

Dude am I right? @vale wing

[vale wing]

99% of video tutorials are

For video tutorial to be good it requires the "teacher" to be good at coding (impossible) and be recent

[ember nest]

....

[vale wing]

I'm talking to 3 persons at the same time sry

I remember about everyone

[ember nest]

Alright so is my code correct?

[vale wing]

No you're still checking content and it will always be the same, it's not message.content

You don't need that content at all, it was for example purpose

[ember nest]

So just do in message?

Like that

if len(links) or len(links2) in message:
    await message.delete()

[vale wing]

Tell me what does len() return in your opinion

[ember nest]

A list

[vale wing]

Negative

It returns amount of items in a sequence, i.e. length

You need to check if it's more than 0

[ember nest]

So

[vale wing]

This is becoming spoonfeeding fr

[ember nest]

I am kinda confused now idk how to do yhat

[vale wing]

Ok let it be ig

Forgive me for being a spoonfeeder but I am tired fr

@ember nest please look at the correct version of code, I really hope you won't just copypaste but will figure it out

LINKS_PATTERN = re.compile(r"https?://[-\w]+\.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)*")
INVITES_PATTERN = re.compile(r"discord\.(?:gg|com/invite)/[\w\d]+")  # constants are not defined inside functions

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    links = re.findall(LINKS_PATTERN, message.content)
    invites = re.findall(INVITES_PATTERN, message.content)
    if len(links) > 0:
        # found at least 1 link
        ...
        return
    if len(invites) > 0:
        # found at least 1 invite
        ...```

[ember nest]

So ```py
if len(links) > 0:
await message.delete()
return

[oblique fern]

Where can I find people to test updates to my discord game? It needs at least 2 players but I feel like it might not be fit to ask here. What do you think?

[vale wing]

Yes

[vale wing]

Asking someone to help with testing something is totally fine here

[oblique fern]

K, cool. I just finished rewriting so I want to test it

its a game, rounds are 10-15 mins

[ember nest]

So I have other level system codes on on_message function as well so making it @bot.listen() instead of @bot.event won't effect them ? @vale wing

[vale wing]

You only need to remove bot.process_commands is it's there

And the cool thing about .listen is that you can run several functions for one event at the same time

@bot.event
async def on_message(...):
    long_thing1()
    long_thing2()

Can be turned into this

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def func1(...):
    long_thing1()

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def func2(...)
    long_thing2```

[ember nest]

Hmmm

But keep on @bot.event still will work right?

[vale wing]

Yes

[ember nest]

What was the command that to check if member has permission attach_files etc

I forgot it and can't remember

Is there anything like Member.has_permission?

[glad cradle]

!d discord.Member.guild_permissions.attach_files

[unkempt canyon]

Out of the question.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[ember nest]

Hm

[glad cradle]

Well it won't find it but discord.Member.guild_permissions returns a Permissions object

and you could do

!d discord.Permissions.attach_files

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions.attach\_files

Returns True if a user can send files in their messages.

[ember nest]

So I can just do
user = mesage.author.guild_permissions.attach_files
@glad cradle

[glad cradle]

if you're inside a guild yes

[ember nest]

Alright lemme see

Not working @glad cradle

[ivory shadow]

what do I do here?

code listed below:

bot = abot()

what version should I be on? I followed two pages of stack overflow, and one said to update to 2.0.0. I did that then I hit another error which told me to update to 1.7.3

[sick birch]

2.0 is the latest stable major so you'd want to be on that version

[sick birch]

!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. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, 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

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

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

[sick birch]

Is how you fix your current issue @ivory shadow

[ivory shadow]

oh okay thank you

[ivory shadow]

tysm

[leaden jasper]

is 2.1 stable?

[cloud dawn]

Yes

Robin is just very old so he gets it wrong sometimes.

[ivory shadow]

@sick birch I think I know what the error is, even after I added that bit I got the same error. I think this is because I don't have privledged intents (my bot is verified). So, I think that's why it keeps giving me an intents error

[sick birch]

Agh I just lose track of all but major releases at this point

[sick birch]

If you're not verified you'll have to request discord for message content intents which they (probably) won't grant unfortunately

Are you using prefix commands or application commands?

[cloud dawn]

If you're not is verified Robin~ 2022

I'll stop now.

[sick birch]

its been a long day ;(

[ivory shadow]

yeah i’m pretty sure i got declined like last year

[cloud dawn]

Get some sleep, you earned it.

[ivory shadow]

prefix commands but i’m trying to switch to application commands right now

[sick birch]

Yup that's about your only course of action

[ivory shadow]

wait

so how should i update to application commands

[sick birch]

You basically just rewrite everything to use the new slash commands and buttons and whatnot

[ivory shadow]

oh

[sick birch]

It is a royal pain I know

[ivory shadow]

i have like a thousand something lines of code though

[ivory shadow]

yeah 😔

[sick birch]

One thing you've got going is most of the actual logic for your commands should be a straight copy paste

[ivory shadow]

good point

[cloud dawn]

Hence why we recommend everyone to use slash commands from the start.

[ivory shadow]

oh i started coding before slash commands were made

[cloud dawn]

More than 2 years ago?

[ivory shadow]

wait no

[sick birch]

It's probably possible to construct mock context objects and pass interaction via them to keep your code the same but we would not recommend it at all

[ivory shadow]

before the thing

wait when was discord,py slash commands released

[cloud dawn]

I was also made before the thing.

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.from_interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.from\_interaction

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

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

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

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

New in version 2.0.

15 December 2020

[ivory shadow]

okay then no

i guess i found out about them late

[sick birch]

They were only enforced Q2 or 3 of 2021

[ivory shadow]

yeah i didn’t update them in time

[cloud dawn]

Tough to be fair Discord.py only had them at the start of Q1 2021

[ivory shadow]

i took a break for like a year

[ivory shadow]

when was Q1

[cloud dawn]

Late January or smth?

[ivory shadow]

oh okay i created my bot start of april 2021

[cloud dawn]

Robin.

[sick birch]

Did I say something wrong

[cloud dawn]

No?

Do you think you did?

[ivory shadow]

so only option is to like rewrite my entire code

[cloud dawn]

When are you going to sleep?

[sick birch]

Soon 😓

[cloud dawn]

Well.... if you want to do it properly, yes.

[sick birch]

This tone made it sound like I said completely wrong haha

[cloud dawn]

[ivory shadow]

hmmmmmm i see i see

[sick birch]

It's not as bad as it may seem

Still a pain but logic is still the same

[ivory shadow]

but i don’t have intents in general, so i can still do it without them?

[glad cradle]

Well you're probably doing something wrong

[ivory shadow]

yeah but how do i do this wihtout intents again

[sick birch]

You shouldn't need message content intents for app commands

[cloud dawn]

tbh your bot shouldn't even be 1000+ lines, most of my commands are like at most 10 lines maybe sometimes 15.

[ivory shadow]

i was just messing around so i added like every command possible for fun (back when i started coding)

[sick birch]

They've probably just got a lot of commands

[ivory shadow]

wait why did i get the intents error?

i was planning on rewriting everything but then i got hit with that error

[sick birch]

You probably used discord.Intents.all()

[cloud dawn]

You prob need to re-invite it since you haven't selected the app commands scope.

[ivory shadow]

i’m pretty sure i didn’t so i don’t think that’s the problem

[ivory shadow]

it has all the permissions

[cloud dawn]

It's a scope not a permission.

[sick birch]

It may be one of the other 2 privileged intents you have explicitly enabled

IIRC its members and presences?

[ivory shadow]

oh yeah my bad

[ivory shadow]

i think i got denied for all the intents i requested

i’ll check again

[ivory shadow]

how do i get there again (sorry i haven’t done this in like a year)

[cloud dawn]

Discord developer portal

[hushed galleon]

discord.py's hybrid commands could smooth over the transition too, though not perfectly by itself

[cloud dawn]

I Don't recommend hybrid commands.

[ivory shadow]

where in the portal?

[hushed galleon]

they put a lot of work into those 🥺

[cloud dawn]

They did... but kinda useless.

[cloud dawn]

Url generator.

[hushed galleon]

tbh i havent used them before, only seen what the docs describe

[ivory shadow]

oh you’re correct, i had nothing checked for some reason

[cloud dawn]

That's the default.. lol.

It's a generator.

[ivory shadow]

i’m so dumb 😂

[ivory shadow]

oh yeah that’s what i thought but i wasn’t completely sure

alright so what do i do next

[hushed galleon]

why are they useless tho? even if discord's cracking down on prefix commands, shouldnt they still be helpful for large code bases needing to migrate? i guess it depends on how much their existing commands can cleanly translate

[cloud dawn]

Well you'd still need message intents to make them work.

[hushed galleon]

just the slash part of it can work, again depending on what the original command does

[ivory shadow]

@cloud dawn i selected the scopes and permissions but how do i get the url for these scopes, or is it just the bot id

[cloud dawn]

@ivory shadow

leaked my discord id...
