discord-bots

[distant tree]

looking for a sense of direction on this

that's what i was thinking lol

[rare echo]

i mean yes a db would be a very big good thing to do, also changing it from having author in footer and description, you can clean it up by removing the bot name from the top, seeing as the bot sends the message

[distant tree]

i don't even have the bot made yet

[upbeat otter]

good

[rare echo]

oh lmfao i thought that was yours

[quick gust]

how do I add a description to an argument of a slash command?

[rare echo]

ohhhh

i misread 100%

[distant tree]

that's just a reference

[upbeat otter]

which library...?

[rare echo]

yeah i got ya

[quick gust]

disnake

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.describe

[unkempt canyon]

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...

[upbeat otter]

that's for dpy

[distant tree]

hoping to use linode as my vps of choice

used em before

[quick gust]

what about disnake?

[naive briar]

🤷

[upbeat otter]

forgot

[supple ridge]

how can i get the value of total iv using regex?

[upbeat otter]

discord.gg/disnake if you don't get help here though

[rare echo]

@whatever.#6421slash_command(description=xxx)``` ?

my b g

[naive briar]

He said argument

[quick gust]

for an argument

[rare echo]

man its early for me

[distant tree]

yeah that's from a private user unwilling to share reference code, i was originally just going to fix the issues for him, but cause yk, i'm jus going to make an alternative

[naive briar]

For loop or regex

[rare echo]

ill be functioning soon 😮‍💨

[rare echo]

you checked docs?

[quick gust]

ah, docstrings i guess
https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/slash_commands.html#docstrings

[slate swan]

its much simpler ```py
async def command(inter, argument: str)-> None:
"""
Command Description

Parameters
----------
argument: talk about using decorators lmfao

[quick gust]

mhm nice nice

[upbeat otter]

you could use add_option too 😔

[slate swan]

discord.py can use(s) the same for the record

[upbeat otter]

yes

but describe 💀

[supple ridge]

for loop?

[upbeat otter]

let's not talk about that

[rare echo]

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/slash_commands.html#parameter-descriptors

[slate swan]

don't like that style , they could have either made the complete argument using decorator ( like lightbulb does ) or complete argument based options ( function signature )

[quick gust]

let's see, now that I'm starting to use slash_commands, I'll finally have more knowledge about them

[rare echo]

i mean it doesnt look that complex

wouldnt be a hard recreate, maybe just a bit tedious

[upbeat otter]

lmao

[supple ridge]

@naive briar can you elaborate on how can i use for loop?

[distant tree]

it's not but it is, ian really used db's that much, and i haven't programmed anything in 4+ months.

[upbeat otter]

for element in elements:
  ...

you just need an iterable 😔

[naive briar]

Wait, did Discord changed mention colour

Nvm

[open karma]

MY CODE

i have a modal where i can type something

in this example i typed in "aaa"

which doesnt exist

[supple ridge]

no i meant how can i use that to get totla iv?

[open karma]

and now where i try to insert it into a database it says that the column doesnt exist?

[open karma]

"aaa" is just the value i want to insert into the table

how can it "not exist"?

[naive briar]

Read the error will tell you

[open karma]

i did read it

i still dont understand it

[naive briar]

Don't use f-string in SQLite queries

[open karma]

oh okay

[naive briar]

Use placeholder, or something I forgot

[open karma]

should i use ?

[slate swan]

!sql-fstrings yes

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings
Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

[open karma]

?, ?, ?, ?

[open karma]

thank you 🙂

[open karma]

and you too

[slate swan]

if they are the only columns in the table you dont even need to mention them at all

[open karma]

btw, is that pfp from adventure time? 😂

[open karma]

yes true i just did that because i thought that caused the error

[winged linden]

Is there a way to run code when the bots is shutting down?
I want to edit the name of a voice channel when the bot stops running

[waxen granite]

        async for ban in guild.bans():
            banList = ""
            for ban in banList:
                if ban[1] == member:
                    title = f"Member Banned"
                    desc = f"{member} has been banned from the server for {ban.reason}"```
still something wrong :3

[winged linden]

banList is empty?

[waxen granite]

nah

[cloud dawn]

Depends on how you shut it down.

[winged linden]

just anyway

[slate swan]

if ban[1] == member:
ban is a discord.Member object you can't index it

[winged linden]

im trying to make a status channel and it needs to change to off if the bot isnt online

[cloud dawn]

Well not really then, since using the "X" on the console or killing it will result in a unproper closure.

[winged linden]

ah I see

Ill just pray they don't close the bot

[waxen granite]

i am trying to get the member that just got banned to send that msg

[ornate kite]

can you run 2 clients in one code?

[winged linden]

why would you do that

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.on_member_ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_ban

discord.on_member_ban(guild, user)```
Called when user gets banned from a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

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

[supple ridge]

[cloud dawn]

Yes.

[ornate kite]

k ty

[torn sail]

U probably could override Bot.close. Make sure to call await super().close()

[cloud dawn]

It's an embed..? If you have some text I could write it up for you.

[cloud dawn]

Issue is that most of the time that event doesn't get reached.

[waxen granite]

well wont this and on_member_leave send double msg for that event?

[cloud dawn]

That's why I suggest to use only this.

[ornate kite]

at the end of he code i have

discord.run('token') (discord client)
client.run() (second client)

[torn sail]

Oh it doesn’t? I thought it was in a try finally block

[naive briar]

.run is blocking

[waxen granite]

then what about the event when the member leaves and not banned?

[ornate kite]

it let me start only 1 client

[naive briar]

You could use .start with asyncio.gather

[waxen granite]

i am tryng to to use on_member_leave to send a msg when the user gets banned and in the same event when the member leave it sends a seperate msg

[naive briar]

Why are you trying to run 2 bot instances in the same time anyway

[cloud dawn]

It will get blocked, you'd need sub proessing.

[ornate kite]

how

[cloud dawn]

Gather would expect a value to return.

[ornate kite]

i cant code lol

[naive briar]

.wait maybe?

[cloud dawn]

Just use create_task.

[naive briar]

I'm already to forget stuff about asyncio

[ornate kite]

can any one send me a little template

[naive briar]

[slate swan]

just use if member in ban_list: then.... nothing else is needed

[supple ridge]

yea its an embed ;-;

[open karma]

hi

me again

so i cant use f strings in sql statements. but what about {} and .format()

does that work?

[naive briar]

I

[torn sail]

Do not:
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = {}".format('peepeepoopoo'))
Do:
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = ?", ('peepeepoopoo',))

Consider: if a command accepts user input, and they input True; DROP TABLE table_name- The resultant query with format is:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = True; DROP TABLE table_name which has obvious results.
Utilizing your SQL library's sanitization methods prepares the statement and exclusively inserts the values, without editing the query.
Note asyncpg uses $1, $2, ... for value substitution, mysql-connector, %s, so make sure you know your DB library!
https://xkcd.com/327

[slate swan]

neither

any kind of string interpolation should not be used

[supple ridge]

any help?

[slender oracle]

how can i keep track of how many times a command has been ran by each person?

[naive briar]

Store to a database

[slate swan]

from the embed? regex isnt always the solution
you can just do "the stats field value".split(":")[-1]

    async def on_member_remove(self, member):

it prints till` 'print(title)'`
someone help losing my mind lol

[naive briar]

print doesn't print None object

[ornate kite]

I have the problem that when i want to start the discord client it dosent work, it showes me this in the promt:

• Fortnite Client ready as FlJILeaks
• Discord Client ready as None

im working on a fortnite bot that u can controll through discord, but for this i need to run 2 clients and its only run 1

any ideas?

[waxen granite]

it prints None

[naive briar]

!e

print(None)

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

None

[waxen granite]

that

[naive briar]

Nvm

[naive briar]

What's the actual problem with this

[waxen granite]

something with banList is wrong

[slate swan]

you should never need to run 2 clients in the same script

[naive briar]

And what is it

[waxen granite]

that idk

[ornate kite]

i need,

1. The Fortnite bot (in the game)
2. Discord bot

i dont rly know what you mean

[naive briar]

You are kidding

Read the error, the answer is right there

[slate swan]

how did you start the discord client and what value are you actually printing?

!self

[unkempt canyon]

Class instance

When calling a method from a class instance (ie. instance.method()), the instance itself will automatically be passed as the first argument implicitly. By convention, we call this self, but it could technically be called any valid variable name.

class Foo:
    def bar(self):
        print('bar')

    def spam(self, eggs):
        print(eggs)

foo = Foo()

If we call foo.bar(), it is equivalent to doing Foo.bar(foo). Our instance foo is passed for us to the bar function, so while we initially gave zero arguments, it is actually called with one.

Similarly if we call foo.spam('ham'), it is equivalent to
doing Foo.spam(foo, 'ham').

Why is this useful?

Methods do not inherently have access to attributes defined in the class. In order for any one method to be able to access other methods or variables defined in the class, it must have access to the instance.

Consider if outside the class, we tried to do this: spam(foo, 'ham'). This would give an error, because we don't have access to the spam method directly, we have to call it by doing foo.spam('ham'). This is also the case inside of the class. If we wanted to call the bar method inside the spam method, we'd have to do self.bar(), just doing bar() would give an error.

[waxen granite]

any idea?

[slate swan]

told ealier, check recent pings

[ornate kite]

discord.run('1234') it starts the fortnite bot but not the discord one

[slate swan]

discord.run is not a thing

[ornate kite]

start or what

[waxen granite]

if member in banList; did it

[slate swan]

your client object has the run method and it's blocking, any code after it wont get executed

[ornate kite]

is there a way to fix it

[slate swan]

and after that? i just sent the condition you need to do what you want to do in the condition 🤨

[slender oracle]

how can i make a program wait a certain amount of time before doing something?

[ornate kite]

its like client.run but i changed discord = discord.client()

im so bad lmao

[naive briar]

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

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

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

what did you actually print?

[ornate kite]

wym

[slate swan]

to get that result

[waxen granite]

        banList = [ban async for ban in guild.bans(limit=2000)]# here is the ban list ///// the code still stucks here

@slate swan

[supple ridge]

hey i have narrowed it down to
['**hp:**', '80', '–', 'iv:', '30/31\n**attack:**', '73', '–', 'iv:', '12/31\n**defense:**', '122', '–', 'iv:', '25/31\n**sp.', 'atk:**', '65', '–', 'iv:', '26/31\n**sp.', 'def:**', '31', '–', 'iv:', '5/31\n**speed:**', '51', '–', 'iv:', '10/31\n**total', 'iv:**', '58.06%']

now what shall i do to get the last percentage?

[naive briar]

It's like the first thing you will encounter in asynchronous programming

[ornate kite]

print(Fore.LIGHTCYAN_EX + ' • ' + Fore.RESET + 'Discord Client ready as ' + Fore.LIGHTCYAN_EX + f'{discord.user}') but it dosent start the dc bot

[naive briar]

!e

ml = ['**hp:**', '80', '–', 'iv:', '30/31\n**attack:**', '73', '–', 'iv:', '12/31\n**defense:**', '122', '–', 'iv:', '25/31\n**sp.', 'atk:**', '65', '–', 'iv:', '26/31\n**sp.', 'def:**', '31', '–', 'iv:', '5/31\n**speed:**', '51', '–', 'iv:', '10/31\n**total', 'iv:**', '58.06%']
print(ml[-1])

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

58.06%

[supple ridge]

yo.tysm

[naive briar]

If it's static then I guess

[supple ridge]

static?

[slate swan]

you don't need the loop, you're just overcomplicating it ```py
banList = [ban async for ban in guild.bans(limit=2000)]#this will take a long time depending on the limit you used, so deal with it

if member.id in [ban.id for ban in banList]:
# member is banned
else:
# member is not banned

[supple ridge]

what if like the hp attack values change?

[waxen granite]

ah , ty i'll try

[slate swan]

.user won't be available until the bot is started and running, you can't print it immidiately

[naive briar]

Eh, I was about if the embed formatting will stay the same

[ornate kite]

ik but thats not the problem

[naive briar]

If they move the percentage position then it will break

[ornate kite]

it dosent run the discor bot

[naive briar]

You should use regex, way neater

[supple ridge]

the percentage position stays the same the values change

[slate swan]

is the fortnite bot another discord bot?

[ornate kite]

no

[slate swan]

or some other app

[naive briar]

Then you should be good

[ornate kite]

its a bot in a game

[supple ridge]

i am not familiar with it, any example?

[supple ridge]

alr

[slate swan]

show code

[supple ridge]

I'll try tysm

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[ornate kite]

tysm

ill try

[supple ridge]

it works tysmmm

[waxen granite]

also when i am using this how do i et the reason the user was banned for?

[cloud dawn]

It hasn't got task shutdown tough but it works and it's an idea.

[ornate kite]

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

whats thati just started with py thats why im not good

discord = discord.client() TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

[slate swan]

loop on the ban list, if ban's id is same as member's id, check the reason attribute of ban

[naive briar]

Python attributes are case sensitive

!d discord.Client Client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, intents, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

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

New in version 2.0.

A number of options can be passed to the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[ornate kite]

can i do discord = discord.Client(intents=intents)

[naive briar]

You are overriding discord module

[ornate kite]

means?

[naive briar]

Change the var name to client or bot

[ornate kite]

kk

[naive briar]

Or anything that's not overriding something important

[ornate kite]

bot = discord.Client(intents=intents) NameError: name 'intents' is not defined

im so sry when its to easy but im to dumb 😦

command_prefix=prefix, NameError: name 'prefix' is not defined lmao

[young dagger]

How do I edit this command? This command doesn't exist in my current code.

[rare echo]

its default help command, just make a help command and remove the default in the constructor

[young dagger]

@rare echo How do I remove it from the constructor?

[naive briar]

[lethal creek]

good morning/afternoon/evening,

I'm trying to create a global connection to my database so I can use it across different events. Right now, Google lead me to something like this:
db_con = None
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
if db_con is None:
db_con = await aiosqlite.connect("strava.db")
conn = await db_con.cursor()

But I keep that db_con is referenced before assignment. I assume this means that on_ready() is happening before anything else?

My other idea is just to open/close the connections in each command as needed, but that feels tedious.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.setup_hook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.setup\_hook

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

A coroutine to be called to setup the bot, by default this is blank.

To perform asynchronous setup after the bot is logged in but before it has connected to the Websocket, overwrite this coroutine.

This is only called once, in [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.login "discord.Client.login"), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready") event.

Warning

Since this is called *before* the websocket connection is made therefore anything that waits for the websocket will deadlock, this includes things like [`wait_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.wait_for "discord.Client.wait_for") and [`wait_until_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.wait_until_ready "discord.Client.wait_until_ready")...

[slate swan]

this gets triggered only once, before the bot runs

!d help

[unkempt canyon]

help

help()``````py

help(request)```
Invoke the built-in help system. (This function is intended for interactive use.) If no argument is given, the interactive help system starts on the interpreter console. If the argument is a string, then the string is looked up as the name of a module, function, class, method, keyword, or documentation topic, and a help page is printed on the console. If the argument is any other kind of object, a help page on the object is generated.

Note that if a slash(/) appears in the parameter list of a function when invoking [`help()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#help "help"), it means that the parameters prior to the slash are positional-only. For more info, see [the FAQ entry on positional-only parameters](https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#faq-positional-only-arguments).

i have a code with a if else statement this if else statement gives me a percentage value now i wish to use this value outside of this if else statement

how can i do that?

how to label it as a global variable ;-;

[upbeat otter]

if ...:
 percentage = "69%"
else:
  percentage = "6969%"

print(percentage)

[upbeat otter]

!global

[unkempt canyon]

When adding functions or classes to a program, it can be tempting to reference inaccessible variables by declaring them as global. Doing this can result in code that is harder to read, debug and test. Instead of using globals, pass variables or objects as parameters and receive return values.

Instead of writing

def update_score():
    global score, roll
    score = score + roll
update_score()

do this instead

def update_score(score, roll):
    return score + roll
score = update_score(score, roll)

For in-depth explanations on why global variables are bad news in a variety of situations, see this Stack Overflow answer.

[upbeat otter]

don't use global here though

[supple ridge]

the print is inside a different function tho

[crimson mauve]

Hello, has anyone here ever worked with attachments for message.edit()?

        Embed = discord.Embed(title=f"hello")
        TempFile = discord.File(f"{FilePath}\\TEMP.png", filename="TEMP.png")
        Embed.set_image(url=f"attachment://{FilePath}\\TEMP.png")
        await message.edit(embed=Embed,attachments=TempFile)

I know it's not right because attachments expects an iterable. I'm just not sure how to make what it's expecting.

[lethal creek]

I'm reading through the documentation and I'm a little lost as to how to implement this. I'm googling to find examples, but coming up blank. Sorry to be a bother, but how exactly do I use this?

[slate swan]

easiest way would be ```py
@bot.event
async def setup_hook():

do your thing

[slate swan]

make it a list or a set or a tuple

[TempFile]

[ornate kite]

raise RuntimeError('Event loop is closed') RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

cmd promt shows me that error

[crimson mauve]

I feel like a clown.
lol, thanks.

Ya, it works now.

[ornate kite]

any help?

nvm got it

[cloud dawn]

loop policy, actual error is a bit higher.

[lethal creek]

That's what I figured and after some tinkering I think I've got something. I assume, since it's a function, that I should be returning my db connection variable to use, and then calling the setup_hook function first thing in on_ready?

I feel like these questions are silly, but this is a whole new world for me

[crimson mauve]

you are trying to set up a task that runs every so X seconds?

[slate swan]

you dont need to call it it will get triggered automatically

before your bot is online

[lethal creek]

No, I'm trying to have 1 global connection open to my database that different commands can access.

Before I was opening connections in each command and then manipulating the database that way. But I'd like to just have 1 open connection and then use that in different commands.

With sqlite3 I could define the connection globally and then use it to create cursors as needed. But with aiosqlite it doesn't work, so I'm trying to figure that out.

[lethal creek]

But if I don't call it, how do I access the connection? I know that the database is being created, because each time I run the code it makes the file, but then it crashes when it gets into on_ready and tries to use the connection variable to create the tables

oh snap, I think I figured it out and I feel silly

[crimson mauve]

Sorry that I'm a little late joining in, but what DB are you running?

[lethal creek]

instead of making it some random variable I tried using the bot object.

[lethal creek]

Originally I was using sqlite3, but I was recommended to swap to aiosqlite to prevent blocking

[crimson mauve]

Have you heard the words of our lord and savior sqlalchemy?

[slate swan]

i dont think that really solves his issue just suggesting something else lol

[lethal creek]

Yeah, briefly. But isn't that just an ORM?

[slate swan]

yup

[crimson mauve]

It also solves your problems with just defining and calling an engine object.

[lethal creek]

would it prevent my blocking issue, though?

[slate swan]

i create a function that i call in bot.loop.run_until_complete to create db connection by creating a pool. defined as self.db then called using bot.db

[crimson mauve]

honestly, I have no idea. let me look into that setup_hook

[lethal creek]

So far, I think I've managed to get it to work by using bot.db_con instead of saving it into a random variable

[slate swan]

wait are you having blocking issues using aiosqlite?

[crimson mauve]

I pulled this from the discprd.py examples folder on github

import discord
import asyncio


class MyClient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        # create the background task and run it in the background
        self.bg_task = self.loop.create_task(self.my_background_task())

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

    async def my_background_task(self):
        await self.wait_until_ready()
        counter = 0
        channel = self.get_channel(1234567)  # channel ID goes here
        while not self.is_closed():
            counter += 1
            await channel.send(counter)
            await asyncio.sleep(60)  # task runs every 60 seconds


client = MyClient(intents=discord.Intents.default())
client.run('token')

It might not be exactly what you are asking for but it's the function in action.

[lethal creek]

No, sqlite3. Well, technically I wasn't having issues. But it was recommended that I swap over to aiosqlite while everything is still small and getting built. Better to have it set up properly before things get too big and annoying.

[slate swan]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

yeah what zippy sent probably would work for u

Anyone know why this command isnt working? @client.command() @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True) async def ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None): await member.ban(reason=reason) await member.send(f"You were banned from the {ctx.guild.name} server for the following reason: {reason}") await ctx.send(f"{member.mention} was banned for reason: {reason}")

[crimson mauve]

Getting an error?

[slate swan]

no bot runs fine. The command was working as of December 13th but stopped working a couple weeks ago.

what about role hierarchy?

[crimson mauve]

is your bot higher than them?

[slate swan]

its at the top and has admin.

[crimson mauve]

Did you change your command prefix?

[slate swan]

no.

[crimson mauve]

worth a shot

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

has anything changed within the bot or server?

nah

and you double checked everything?

yes

i havent changed the command at all

[crimson mauve]

Are things wrapped in a try/except:pass?

[slate swan]

i change the ! in client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=discord.Intents.all())?

[slate swan]

nah

[crimson mauve]

Ya, that is how you call commands.

[slate swan]

im using discord.py if you couldnt tell

do u have a error handler?

or catching errors at all

[crimson mauve]

So you did change that?

[slate swan]

even with prefix changed still doesnt work.

[crimson mauve]

Try calling a fake command

Like !IHDKJHF

[slate swan]

alr

[sick birch]

Precisely.

[crimson mauve]

Getting a no command error?

[slate swan]

nah

just no response

[lethal creek]

Took me a bit, but I think I've implemented all your suggestions. Much, much appreciated.

[crimson mauve]

Is..... is the bot in that server?

[sick birch]

Glad to hear 😄

[slate swan]

i have a auto role that requires the bot to not send a message which works fine but the other commands dont work

[slate swan]

ofc it is im not that dumb

do any of your cmds work?

nah jus auto role

oh

they was all working the other day

well there u go

something has clearly changed

[crimson mauve]

I got paid $200 to drive 2 miles and plug in a printer before. You would be surprised.

[slate swan]

when i had auto role it was working.

is that a cmd ?

no

it runs whenever a memebr joins

yea that working has nothing to do with ur cmds not being processed then

[crimson mauve]

ohhhhhhh, on_message is eating your commands

[sick birch]

!pastebin @slate swan can you pastebin your entire code please?

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

yea this will solve ur issues. @slate swan

[sick birch]

TL;DR use @client.listen() instead of event

[slate swan]

alr

[crimson mauve]

Don't worry, there ain't too many moon logic pitfalls in discord.py

that one has to be the worst.

[slate swan]

thank you.

[upbeat otter]

It's not their fault, it's actually the fault of youtube tutorials which show about the making of commands using on_message and not the commands extension
That's the most reason people end up using events instead of listeners

[crimson mauve]

Reminds me of trying to learn it and not knowing there had been a top down re-write.
Pity on those who pick up discord.py as the first thing to learn with.

[slate swan]

i somehow skipped dpy in my journey to discord bots lmao

[upbeat otter]

I've never used dpy after that one time I discovered it's so bad 💀

[crimson mauve]

I like it, it does what I want so far. Its support team on the other hand. I'll just keep my mouth shut.

[slate swan]

yeaaa i started with nextcord and ended with disnake when they released slash commands

[upbeat otter]

lmaooooooooo so true

[slate swan]

worst staff in existence

[upbeat otter]

I started with dpy, moved onto disnake, then hikari 💀

[slate swan]

i tried helpig someone one time and the staff person told me to shut up, timed me out then procedded to give them exactly what i did

[crimson mauve]

Ok, honestly glad to know I'm not just some bitter asshole.

[upbeat otter]

Understandable, Even I got denied for helping and got temporarily banned 💀

[upbeat otter]

,

[crimson mauve]

My inner voice mostly?

[slate swan]

🗿 r1 for helping in .gg/dpy
provide the shortest help statement ever with a rtfm command

[upbeat otter]

[slate swan]

well i was ab to say i cant deal w hikari docs but i just looked and it seems they have changed them

[upbeat otter]

lmaooo

[slate swan]

for the better. might have to look into it again

everyone's switching to furo

[slate swan]

hey ash, how i'm stumped on the deta still. am i getting close to making this work?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/olosazohup

[upbeat otter]

I haven't made a discord in a while so idk what's going on with libs
I don't even know the changes made to discord.py slash commands to keep the gist updated 💀

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

dw even discord.py docs dont know what's going on there

their docs are so bad.

^

[upbeat otter]

lmao

[slate swan]

the commands extension docs are foinu, but Interaction docs suck

yup

they barely exist

[upbeat otter]

what issue are you facing?

[lethal creek]

wait, there are alternatives to discord.py? Ph man

[slate swan]

there's many easier and advanced ones

[upbeat otter]

no

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/akevogiwas

that's my current error and client wont actually get retrieved.

[crimson mauve]

Know what a POST Request is?

[upbeat otter]

instead of deta.Client you have to do deta.Deta

[slate swan]

would be cool if they named it deta.Base 💀

[upbeat otter]

There is

in the package which is not async

deta.Deta.Base
or deta.Base simply

[slate swan]

hm this db looks much better than mongo

it uses dictionary only where it's required

[upbeat otter]

imagine using mongo

[lethal creek]

in a fundamental way, yes.

[crimson mauve]

Have fun, https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro

[lethal creek]

my tabs are never ending.

[slate swan]

ok, that fixed one error... ty again...
project_key and base_name are the only things i see as far as credentials... but theres a token you can make in settings? I'm assuming i only need my project name(default) as the base_name and the project key is self explanatory. right?

[upbeat otter]

you only need your project_key and your base name
you won't have to get into any other mess

also I just realized

You're putting your images inside a database
shouldn't you be using drive for that? or does it work with that too?

[slate swan]

i was just going to do a test command w/ my alt acct to have a template to go off of.

i figured if this can append them, it should be able to insert them as well as a test

i'm now realizing that i've been doing the wrong function to insert them tho... 🤣

[solid orbit]

i am learning to code and the first little project i want is to make a simple discord bot, but i can't find anywhere how to do that.
can somebody give me the code (only to let the bot go online)

[slate swan]

if you are learning to code i wouldn't start with a discord bot or else you will be in for a long ride

[lethal creek]

Yeah, this damn bot has been a bigger challenge than I expected, honestly. But it's been fun

[slate swan]

I can't personally recommend Discord bots as your very first project, but I do believe there is a quickstart example on the discord.py docs that can give an idea of how a bot might look in Python

[ornate kite]

client.run() bot.start() <- Discord

how can i run 2 clients at the same code

its one in fortnite (in game bot) and one discord

[sick birch]

You run them as seperate files

[ornate kite]

no, both are in main.py

[sick birch]

Separate them out then

[ornate kite]

and how can i run them? i run with .bat

[sick birch]

python discord_bot.py
python fortnite_bot.py

[slate swan]

yo is it possible that a discord bot takes control of a discord account and do a slash command from the discord account?

[sick birch]

Self-botting is against Discord's terms of service and we won't help with that here

[slate swan]

yes ik it's again tos i won't do it xd i just want to know if it's doable

in any case ill do it

I don't have the skills, the time and the desire

Bots can't invoke slash commands so even if you tried it'd be a no

ok

wtf

ph since 18hours

bro let ur dick to rest

[ornate kite]

💀

[ornate kite]

ty, but how can i combinate them, the bot i wanna make should be controlled trough discord, yk?

[sick birch]

You want to control the fortnite bot via your discord bot?

[ornate kite]

right

[sick birch]

What sort of IPC or other communication pipeline have you set up?

[ornate kite]

wym 💀 im not so good in py

[sick birch]

It's going to be a bit complex if you want to bots to communicate with each other

So set up some sort of communication pipeline

[ornate kite]

i have one in js

[sick birch]

Oh and the bots are written in different languages too?

[ornate kite]

discord + the fortnite bot are written in js

now i want to make it with py

[sick birch]

You want to rewrite both in python?

Also aren't fortnite bots against Epic's TOS?

[ornate kite]

i coded fn bots since 2020, u cant cheat or smt with them

so ig no

[sick birch]

Not just for cheating

Many services outright deny automation

Such as discord

[ornate kite]

many people have lobby bots

and no one of mine is banned or smt

[craggy pulsar]

Hey guys I’m trying to code a bot that will send alerts to discord if stocks have a cross of Exponential Moving Averages. I’m brand new to coding and have never done this before. Any help or where to start or what the code would look like would be helpful. I’ve already made the server and the bot. Just dont know what to code in python to make it actually scan and send alerts to discord.

Thanks!!

[shrewd apex]

start with basic python control flow learn functional programming then oop the async programming and a bit of knowledge on apis and webscraping will help too

[crimson mauve]

How's it going so far, figuring it out?

[supple ridge]

@naive briar how can i get only the top value? and ignore the rest? ur code the one u gave with regex works fine but gives all values

[craggy pulsar]

I’m just researching how to even start the code so it scans markets. This is my first time coding and I’m only doing it cause I couldn’t find any premade ones on the internet😂 so I figured I’ll just try it myself.

So I’m just googling how to start any of it right now

[slate swan]

Can i use one commands.group in two different cogs? If yes, then how? Because im getting the The command ... is already an existing command or alias. error.

[crimson mauve]

Alright, so this is not what you want to hear. Making a Discord bot is not a starter project.

But, that never stopped alot of us, just expect to hit your head on the wall alot.

[slate swan]

Can someone help ?

[crimson mauve]

Using the same command in more than one cog?

[slate swan]

not command but group

anyone have suggestions to get around this?
Invalid Form Body - In content: Must be 2000 or fewer in length.

@bot.group()
async def ...

[crimson mauve]

Base64, you can compress it with encoding. but if you post just that it will be useless.

Could upload a .txt file

[slate swan]

useless how?

[slate swan]

Maybe i need to make the bot find the group from the other cog somehow ?

[sick birch]

It just looks like a jumble of text

[slate swan]

ohh

[sick birch]

What information are you displaying?

[slate swan]

i'm trying to make a list of information like the roles / channels / categories i have. and i had each neatly organized w/ a \n for each line.

[crimson mauve]

I'll be honest, I never even use group so I'm not going to be much help here.

[crimson mauve]

More than one post

[slate swan]

Do you know how to do it with a command? Maybe it will be the same

how can i have it automate the responses to divide each 2k cap line into a new message w/o possibly getting the bot or me limited by discord itself?

[crimson mauve]

You just trying to make a normal command?

[slate swan]

Yes?

[crimson mauve]

.len() will tell you how long something is.
What data type are you working with? Just a long string or?

[crimson mauve]

    @commands.command(aliases=["OtherCommandNames"])
    async def CommandName(self, ctx):

[slate swan]

yeah its a string setup like this role_list = "\n".join([f"[{role.name}]({role.id})" for role in guild.roles])
await ctx.channel.send(f" ||\n md\n[Guild](Roles:)\n\n{role_list}\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\n \n||")
the md is just to put it in fancy colors. to help me read

[crimson mauve]

Have you worked with dictionary's yet?

[slate swan]

not really...

[slate swan]

i found another solution. But still thank you for spending time on helping me ;D

c# yes. python, no.

i didn't wanna use the discord interface to grab everything one by one. so i just wanted to make it easier with this, plus i can mess around w/ the setup of the "streaming presence" next after I organize my discord id's and stuff.

i'm guessing it would be role_list = "\n".join.len([f"[{role.name}]({role.id})" for role in guild.roles]) for the specific one in question.

cool, I'll help you make that and walk you though it.

member_list_data = {}
role_list_data = {}
category_list_data = {}
channel_list_data = {}
``` and see what I can do about compressing it into one dict.

[slate swan]

i was thinking that or make something like this
#discord-bots message

and just have pages for ea, idk. just spitballing

[crimson mauve]

the formatting shouldn't be too hard.

the_info={}

[Guild][Users]
       [Roles]
       [Categorys][Channels]

So, I know the schema can look confusing.

[slate swan]

that's good. The only thing that I can't stand is having them side by side and 1 color, my dyslexia can't handle that. which is why i did the md color coding.

[slate swan]

just a little

[shrewd apex]

use ansi

discord supports ansi encoding

about like 7-8 colors and a few backgrounds iirc total like 16

[crimson mauve]

https://profound-information.com/what-is-ansi-encoding/

I'll be back in a bit, making a new cog.

[slate swan]

i'd have to convert it into async functions right?

I have Discordpy 2.1.0a
Is delete_after not working on send_message()?

[solid orbit]

why does: "python3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]" not work?

[shrewd apex]

why are u using delete_after and ephemeral?

[potent light]

What error do you get?

[solid orbit]

zsh: command not found: python3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]

[shrewd apex]

dosent make sense its prone to error

[potent light]

Cause I want it to show for 1 user and delete it after a moment.
I will try this right now:
await interaction.response.send_message("Anonymous message sent.", ephemeral = True, View = View(timeout = 2))

[shrewd apex]

do u have python installed?

[solid orbit]

yes

[potent light]

Try python -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]

[solid orbit]

zsh: no matches found: discord.py[voice]

[shrewd apex]

whats or python alias python3 py py3

ic its python

[potent light]

python -m pip install -U "discord.py[voice]"

[solid orbit]

yes that works ty

[potent light]

np

[shrewd apex]

its not worth it its better to let the user dismiss it u are just wasting api requests one for sending one for deleting and meantime if someone dismisses it will raise NotFoundError

[slate swan]

ohhh i see now. ty

[potent light]

My code doesn't delete it. Letting the user dismiss it will just make the command annoying because they will use it multiple times.

[shrewd apex]

cool

[slate swan]

also I had a question.
so nightbot, for twitch integration has this in their docs...
Nightbot does not sync subscribers. Discord has a built-in subscription integration with Twitch and YouTube, so the role selection for Subscribers is only used to identify existing subscribers in the server.
So if this is built-in as their docs say, how can I get that information?

[shrewd apex]

i am not fully sure u can delete an ephemeral response from the discord api

[potent light]

Mhm, in this case I will just leave an ephemeral. Is there anyway to close the slash command without sending a message or anything like that? I see defer() only makes the bot wait for an answer and doesn't really close the slash command.

[shrewd apex]

probably from the ui discord api dosent have any such endpoints as far as i am aware

[shrewd apex]

not really u need to send a response

[potent light]

I see

[chilly dove]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log#delete-ephemeral-messages you indeed can and it works just like a normal message

[chilly dove]

delete_after was added in 2.1 so you are out of date

[potent light]

I have 2.1.0a

[chilly dove]

2.1 is full release so alpha version probably doesnt have it

[shrewd apex]

does your linter show the delete_after kwarg? try to hover your mouse over the method to see the pop up documentation

[potent light]

You're right, the alpha version didn't have it. I upgraded Python and it's working now.

[potent light]

Didn't check but now it's working

[fast lotus]

how to fix it?

[crimson mauve]

looks like I have to run before I can do all of it

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = discord.Client(intents=intents)

class DataGrab(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.TheData = {}
        self.Page = 0
        self.DataPost = {}

    @commands.is_owner()
    @commands.command()
    async def PartyLikeTheCIA(self, ctx):
        # this Guild object holds all the info you want, now we just need to sift though it.
        self.TheData = ctx.guild
        Embed = discord.Embed(title=self.TheData.name,
                description=f"This Server has \n {len(self.TheData.members)} Users \n {len(self.TheData.roles)} Roles\n and {len(self.TheData.channels)} channels in {len(self.TheData.categories)} categories"
                )

        DataMessage = await ctx.send(embed=Embed)
        self.DataPost[DataMessage] = {"User": ctx.author}

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(DataGrab(bot))

[slate swan]

it's ok! thank you so much for the help

[icy meadow]

Hello I have created a test website for my bot configuration,I want to ask what is the best way to make everything work correctly, for example: I have a button on my website [Setup Category], how exactly do I make the bot create a category in a guild, it should again run the bot 2nd time (ie two token connection's)?.

[crimson mauve]

but what I was going to do is make it so that you can walk though page by page, using reactions to turn the page. Each page would only have X amount

[crimson mauve]

Before I go.
Discord.py right?

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=guild#discord.Guild.create_category

[icy meadow]

My main bot is on discord.py

I'm looking how I will connect it with the website

[crimson mauve]

What is the site made with?

[icy meadow]

Can i dm you?

[crimson mauve]

The more eyes that see it the more that can help you.

[icy meadow]

Or I create a forum channel

Because this is oft

[crimson mauve]

no one is talking but us anyway.

Ya... got my DMs shut of for reasons like this.

[icy meadow]

https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1061028370378395718

My forum post

[crimson mauve]

My reply:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqhxxeeTbu0

[sick birch]

You don't need to overcomplicate it that much

Just send a POST request to the appropriate endpoint

It's maybe 5 lines of JS

[icy meadow]

Yea but need to run my bot 2 times? One for the main bot and one for the site requests?

[sick birch]

You can send the request directly from the site via fetch API

No need for anything extra

[icy meadow]

There is any example? Video?

[sick birch]

Not that I know of
They all overcomplicate things by bringing in IPC or discord-oauth

But it shouldn't be very difficult

Creating a channel: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#create-guild-channel
Fetch API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API

[icy meadow]

Crosspost Message
POST/channels/{channel.id}/messages/{message.id}/crosspost

Something like that?

[crimson mauve]

Post your code and we can help you connect B to C.

[sick birch]

Which endpoint is this?

[crimson mauve]

Looks like I got up for nothing, figuring anything out?

[icy meadow]

There is no reason to post code

As I Said I'm trying to understand how works

[icy meadow]

I found this here

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message

[sick birch]

Right. The only URL parameter is the channel ID

everything else goes in the request body

[icy meadow]

That's make sense

[crimson mauve]

It all comes down to your back-end, if you are doing things in flask its as easy as importing the right thing. if you are using other stuff you might need to mess around with webhooks.

[icy meadow]

Requests are using discord account authorization?

[sick birch]

You need to provide your bot's token yeah

In the form of

{
  "Authorization": "Bot YOUR.BOT.TOKEN.HERE"
}

[icy meadow]

Ok

[sick birch]

FYI this needs to be in the HEADERS

The actual message content and whatnot goes in DATA

[icy meadow]

Got you man

Thank you robin!

And Zippy

[crimson mauve]

👍

[crimson mauve]

What's going on with line 420 then?

[fading marlin]

send the full traceback please

doesn't look like it?

the actual error is missing

it does...?

[crimson mauve]

lol

[fading marlin]

your issue occurred in on_interaction apparently, not on_check

[crimson mauve]

but I guess we won't know unless we get the entire log.

[slate swan]

not really ;.; i've been trying to understand the structure for this. also, is_owner won't work. the bot is on an alt account and in my server 😄

so i edited that portion

anyone know why i keep getting this error? Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\jonah\Downloads\test.py", line 4, in <module> from discord_components import Button, Select, SelectOption, ComponentsBot, interaction ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_components'

[sick birch]

I'm pretty sure this package was deperecated and removed off the pypi index

[slate swan]

alr

[crimson mauve]

What part are you stuck on?

[slate swan]

any suggestions for making ticket system in discord.py?

[crimson mauve]

Dictionaries are your friend.

[slate swan]

elaborate.

[crimson mauve]

They are more than likely where you will be storing/accessing your data about the ticket.

[slate swan]

[pulsar kettle]

Hiya! I'm trying to create a command that adds a role to a member but:

1. Currently executing the command gives the error discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'role' raised an exception: TypeError: object Role can't be used in 'await' expression
2. How can I implement code so it checks if a user has that role and it removes it instead?
   Here's the code:

@bot.tree.command(name='role', description='Adds a role to a member')
@has_permissions(manage_roles=True)
async def role(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member, role: discord.Role):
    await discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles)
    await member.add_roles(member, role=role)```

[chilly dove]

utils.get is not a asynchronous function

[pulsar kettle]

So what do I change it to?

[sick birch]

You don't need that 4th line

[chilly dove]

well when the function returns its trying to do await Role

[sick birch]

You already have the role (from the function definition)

As it's part of the slash command

All you need is await member.add_roles(role)

To check:

if role in member.roles:
  # user already has that role...

[pulsar kettle]

Aight, add/remove role works great now, thanks guys!
One more quick question: can you tag roles in embeds? Or would I have to keep it as plaintext in the embed?

[slate swan]

slowly figuring it out. first pagimation i've done. 😄

i do have a question for embeds. how would i repeat this layout for another project i'll end up doing

[hushed galleon]

looks like an author, description, image, and a broken thumbnail

[hushed galleon]

mentions will render correctly in the description and field values but they wont ping the respective users - for that it has to be part of the regular content

[pulsar kettle]

What about in the embed title?

[hushed galleon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559455534965850142/884309722851864586/unknown.png

[pulsar kettle]

Aight thx for your help <3

[lethal creek]

quick question:

Is it good practice to save datetime values in an aiosqlite database as text? Searching through Google told me that aiosqlite doesn't have a datetime or timestamp data type, so I'm thinking I'll just save it as text?

[hushed galleon]

this is a better question for #databases, but the sqlite3 module supports converters/adapters for custom types (and it seems aiosqlite provides the same functions) so you can just write your own to handle automatically parsing DATETIME/TIMESTAMP columns for you
https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/sqlite3.html#how-to-adapt-custom-python-types-to-sqlite-values

[lethal creek]

I figured I'd ask here because I'm specifically trying to use aiosqlite to prevent any blocking in the bot. But I can pop over there too

[hushed galleon]

sure, i can elaborate further in that channel

[pulsar kettle]

Creating a purge command, it works, but it doesn't send the response (like it says !Application did not repsond)

@bot.tree.command(name='purge', description='Deletes a specified number of messages from a channel')
@has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def purge(interaction: discord.Interaction, limit: int):
        await interaction.channel.purge(limit=limit)
        embed = discord.Embed(title=(f'Purged {limit} messages'), color=0xf6ff00)
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[hushed galleon]

does it give you a 404 Not Found error in your terminal?

[pulsar kettle]

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'purge' raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

[hushed galleon]

that means you've exceeded the 3 second time limit for responding to the interaction

you can defer() it before doing the purge, and then use the .followup webhook to respond afterwards

[sick birch]

What number did you pass in for purge?

[pulsar kettle]

Liek how many messages did I purge? I tested 5

[hushed galleon]

that seems unusually slow

[sick birch]

Hm. That shouldn't be taking more than 3 seconds

[pulsar kettle]

If I purge 2 or more messages, the application doesn't respond

[hushed galleon]

hey wait a minute im noticing the same delay too

[pulsar kettle]

Can you also not purge 2 or more messages?

[sick birch]

At first I thought maybe purging messages is a discord.py abstraction over multiple calls to message.delete
But then I found this
https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#bulk-delete-messages
Since this is just one request there should be no reason for ratelimits

[hushed galleon]

purging multiple messages is fine, but perhaps ill try measuring the delete_messages() method

[prisma girder]

my bot is giving a error message about this after it work fine all day with out this

[hushed galleon]

the error would suggest you've passed None as the colour= argument

[prisma girder]

yes i have and it wasnt a problem until now

[hushed galleon]

yeah it seems to be slow

[slate swan]

right but how do u get those dimensions? do i need to use css grid parameters to configure the sizes or is there like style presets or something?

[prisma girder]

and what do i about the error

[hushed galleon]

you cant control the precise organization of it, each field is rendered in a specific format defined by the user's application

[hushed galleon]

you fix it? i cant say much more without a full traceback and the code that caused it

[slate swan]

user aka not the bot developer?

[hushed galleon]

yea, entirely client-side

[slate swan]

gotcha

[prisma girder]

i dont know how to fix it LMAO

[hushed galleon]

oh you literally just wrote color= None

[prisma girder]

yeah

[hushed galleon]

remove it and it'll be fixed

[prisma girder]

the whole thing

[pulsar kettle]

So is there anything I can do to remove the delay?

[hushed galleon]

nah you can only blame discord for it

[prisma girder]

like none or the whol color = none

[hushed galleon]

just the color=None

[hushed galleon]

but in the mean time you can do the interaction deferring to give the bot more time to respond

i.e. ```py
await interaction.response.defer()

do whatever long task here (webhook takes 15 minutes to expire)

await interaction.followup.send(...)```

[crimson mauve]

You make them with discord.embed
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=embed#discord.Embed
The thing on the bottom is set_image, to the upper right is set_thumbnail, the bold on the top is the title and the rest is the description

Embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{User} has left the server...",
                               description="Bye dude")
Embed.set_image(url="www.weeb.png")
Embed.set_thumbnail(url="www.brokenlink.png")
await .send(embed=Embed)

[slate swan]

Hey whenever I or anyone else sends a message in my discord i get this message in the terminal. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/discord/client.py", line 409, in _run_event await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "/root/bot/akro.py", line 79, in on_message await bot.process_commands(message) NameError: name 'bot' is not defined

any fixes

[fading marlin]

define bot...? gonna need the full code 🤷

[slate swan]

fixed it i put bot instead of client

[clear elm]

async def on_member_join(member):
  guild = client.get_guild(1058181103132868619)
  channel = client.get_channel(1058184521587105853)
  embed=discord.Embed(title=f'Welcome To {guild.name}', description=f'Hello, {user.mention}.')
  
  await channel.send(embed=embed)```

im trying to make a welcome event  so when someone joins the server this come up. it's not working though, there's nothing in the terminal and no problems so im not sure whats wrong. all intents are on

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

read that if your commands arent working

[clear elm]

its not a command

[slate swan]

anyone know why whenever i run this command @client.command() async def create(ctx, channel_name: str): guild = ctx.guild existing_channel = discord.utils.get(guild.channels, name=channel_name) if not existing_channel: await guild.create_text_channel(channel_name) await ctx.send(f'Created new channel: {channel_name}') else: await ctx.send(f'Channel {channel_name} already exists') it creates 2 channels?

[slate swan]

elaborate on your issue

[clear elm]

its supposed to send a welcome message when someone joins the server but its not working

[slate swan]

in dms right?

[clear elm]

no, in the server

[slate swan]

hm

[hushed galleon]

the event handler itself seems fine, so can you show the rest of your code (without token) in a paste? perhaps the event handler is on the wrong client, or another handler is shadowing it with the same name

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[hushed galleon]

you might have two instances of your bot running, or you're accidentally calling process_commands() more than once

[clear elm]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/etejivaqug

[slate swan]

nah i reset the token but i will see if im calling process_commands() more than once 👍

[hushed galleon]

you've forgotten to pass the intents to the last definition of your client, which btw you only need one

[slate swan]

nice arrow

[hushed galleon]

ok maybe a bit of a confusing arrow but i mean writing the same intents=intents inside the Bot constructor

[clear elm]

ohhh

ok ty

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "k!", intents.members=True) like this?

[hushed galleon]

i meant writing the same intents=intents inside the Bot constructor

[clear elm]

oh

[hushed galleon]

also discord_slash is a pretty outdated library, discord.py v2.0+ already has native support for slash commands

[clear elm]

oops my bad

ok

i havent been coding a lot, i havent since like last year april ish

[hushed galleon]

iirc support for dpy 1.7 is going to die pretty soon because the v6 gateway is going to be removed

[clear elm]

ok, ty for letting me know

[civic fractal]

why do you create 3 clients in the first place lol

delete lines 14 and 16 altogether

[slate swan]

@hushed galleon i cant seem to find a issue you mind looking at my code and seeing if you can spot any? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/celasivelo

[hushed galleon]

you're not meant to use process_commands() in a listener

[clear elm]

omg thank you so much, it finally works

[hushed galleon]

its the same thing described in the FAQ entry you linked earlier

[slate swan]

thank you.

i forgot the other option to replace listener with you know what it is?

[hushed galleon]

the .event decorator?

[slate swan]

yes thank you.

[ionic garden]

do i have to manually sync the command tree?

[fading marlin]

you should, yes

[lethal creek]

Could someone explain to me the difference between using command.commands() and bot.tree.commands()? I'm looking at the documentation and it says they should be equivalent, but when I use command.commands() none of my commands work.

I'd like to understand what exactly is happening. I think the root in there is the bot object that I declare? Would it make a difference if instead of something like :

bot = commands.Bot(blah blah blah)

I would have done something like

bot = commands.Client(blah blah blah)?

[fading marlin]

difference between using command.commands() and bot.tree.commands()
neither exist, perhaps you meant command()?

commands.Client doesn't exist either

[lethal creek]

True, typo on my end. My bad. But my point stands. command.command() doesn't work

[civic fractal]

how so?

[ionic garden]

should?

[fading marlin]

well... you could sync in on_ready or equivalent, but like at that point you're just begging to get ratelimited

[fading marlin]

is that another typo? cause it's commands.command()

[ionic garden]

so discord never syncs by itself?

[fading marlin]

you sync your commands with discord

not the other way around, discord doesn't develop commands

[ionic garden]

i thought they'd detect changes & update or smth

[lethal creek]

Damn, got me again. I'm losing it. But yeah, swapping between commands.command(blah) and bot.tree.command(blah) kills it

[fading marlin]

they might as well just access your computer at that point lol

[fading marlin]

@commands.command() converts the function to a prefix/message command. The command doesn't get automatically added to the bot when using this deco
@tree.command() converts the function to a slash command. The command gets automatically added to the tree when using this deco

[ionic garden]

why didn't you have to sync prefixed commands then?

[lethal creek]

Aha, awesome.

Thank you very much

[fading marlin]

prefix commands are just fancy message parsers, unlike slash commands

[ionic garden]

got it, thanks

[fading marlin]

sure

[lethal creek]

Unfortunately, I have more silly questions.

I'm trying to replace some repetitive code in my commands with a decorator. I only want certain commands to work in certain channels. Right now I just have a basic check that I outsourced to a helper file in a function that returns a boolean and if it's False, send an error message.

I just don't want to keep calling this function. I found the bot.check() decorator, and I'm passing the function, but it keeps giving me an error. Specifically that a Command object doesn't have an attribute called guild, which tells me something is funky with the interaction being passed.

Any ideas?

[fading marlin]

code? error?

[lethal creek]

Error:

[sick birch]

Can you show us your decorator & command?

[lethal creek]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/efeqebejaq

I know that decorators are run from bottom to top and was experimenting with the order, so that is after I swapped them just to see what would happen

[fading marlin]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

@check```
A decorator that adds a global check to the bot.

A global check is similar to a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every command the bot has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check"), this takes a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") and can only raise exceptions inherited from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError").

Example...

[fading marlin]

use @commands.check instead

[civic fractal]

it should be ```py
def correct_channel(ctx):
right_channel_name = "testingbot"
channel = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.channels, name=right_channel_name)
right_channel_id = channel.id
current_channel_id = ctx.channel_id
if current_channel_id != right_channel_id:
return False
return True

@bot.tree.command(name="signup", description="Register the user into the database.")
@commands.check(correct_channel)
async def signup(...):
...```

flipped the decorator order and used commands.check instead of bot.check

[fading marlin]

hmm, still not quite

@app_commands.check, I hadn't notice the tree.command deco

[sick birch]

@lethal creek FYI your entire function can be shortened down to

def correct_channel(ctx):
  return ctx.channel.name == "testingbot"

I think you might be overcomplicating a bit 😛

[lethal creek]

I tried this before, but keep getting that app_commands isn't defined

[fading marlin]

you gotta import it from discord

[sick birch]

from discord import app_commands

[fading marlin]

or use the full namespace discord.app_commands.check

[lethal creek]

I could totally defend myself by saying that my motto right now is "get it working, then get it working well", but man... that's just embarrassing.

[civic fractal]

isn't there an existing way in the library to restrict the channel?

[sick birch]

Not a bad strategy.
You got it working, now get it working well :P

[civic fractal]

can't you pass it to bot.tree.command?

[civic fractal]

no you can only restrict the guild

nvm

[lethal creek]

The first thing I tried was to go through the documentation because I noticed that there was a way to restrict it by guild.. figured there HAD to be a channel one too, right?

I was wrong.

[sick birch]

There isn't. Discord.py is quirky like that

[fading marlin]

😔

[lethal creek]

So then if I want to use check() with slash commands I have to use app_commands?

[fading marlin]

you were right in searching the docs first though!

[fading marlin]

yup

the commands framework and app_commands rarely interact with each other

[lethal creek]

I'm trying really hard to do my due diligence first. But man, some of these docs are... rough.

I think I got it to work... except not in the way I expected.

[crimson mauve]

that's the philosophy of the people that run Discord.py, you better already know everything because the docs are just note and you are dumb for knowing less than them.

[lethal creek]

check() will only accept a function that returns a bool, correct? So if it evaluates false, the command doesn't run, which results in an error?

[lethal creek]

I'm plenty dumb already. Just trying to whittle away as much dumb as possible each day.

[fading marlin]

you can catch the error in an local error handler

[civic fractal]

it can return anything falsey

[crimson mauve]

Good luck, if you are anything like me you just start learning how big the dumb pile really is.

[civic fractal]

so py return None or py return [] will also prevent the command from running

but yeah you should just return true or false

[sick birch]

Just to be explicit I would recommend return True/False

"Explicit is better than implicit"

[fading marlin]

type checkers will shout at you if you don't

[sick birch]

Yeah. Recently got pyright installed for my Emacs configuration and man it will not shut up no matter what I do

I've gotta figure out how to turn off strict mode

[fading marlin]

the only reason why I have it set it to strict is because it makes me feel smart

[primal token]

Real smart people dont use type checkers

from discord.ext import commands

client.run("") ```

im tryna make a bot where it pings someone 5 minutes after they join in 2 different channels. everything works except when someone joins, it only pings them in one channel  and not both, i was wondering if someone could help me please (im not doing the 5 minutes thing yet) btw thats my whole code

[naive briar]

.event overrides the old event with the new one

Also why are you trying to create client 3 times

[civic fractal]

why not just do py @client.event async def on_member_join(member): channel1 = client.get_channel(1023746108830257177) channel2 = client.get_channel(1026071401825841233) await channel1.send(f'{member.mention}', delete_after=5) await channel2.send(f'{member.mention}', delete_after=5)

I removed the guild variable because you weren't using it

[civic fractal]

also this

[clear elm]

yeah idk

lol

[clear elm]

anyways thanks

how would i make it send it after 5 minutes?

[chilly dove]

use asyncio.sleep

[clear elm]

ok ty

[leaden dagger]

i have a question about asyncio.sleep

await asyncio.sleep(30)
bot.loop.create_task(on_ready())

for example here i set 30 seconds and its in loop now. Is there any harm in having too little or too much value for it?

[mental hollow]

🥄🍼

[leaden dagger]

im getting an error right now;

[naive briar]

Show your full code

Wait, you're just rate limited

[leaden dagger]

just fixed rn by setting asyncio.sleep at the beginning of the code. anyways thx for your time

[supple ridge]

yo if i want the first value of the embed then is it good to use search instead of findall?

I've got a friend starting out with coding bots in python... but there's something wrong with his libraries. I'm unsure on what cause this didn't happen to me when I started out (or its been so long that I've forgotten?)

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]

Go to that link and enable all 3 intents

[pulsar bridge]

he misread .ext as .net 💀

[slate swan]

enable from portal

[slate swan]

lol happens

[pulsar bridge]

Aight, next library

from dotenv import load_dotenv ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'

[slate swan]

pip install python-dotenv

[upbeat otter]

oh

[pulsar bridge]

maybe he's mispelling it?
I'm on a call right now with him 💀

[supple ridge]

python-dotenv

install it

[supple ridge]

yeah

[mental hollow]

docs say they’re different things

[civic fractal]

well a file is an attachment though

[slate swan]

when editing a message it's an attachment, not a file

[civic fractal]

and you cannot pass files to an .edit call

[slate swan]

it should be a common sense that a file is a stored object, while attachment is a part of a message

[mental hollow]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationContext.edit

[civic fractal]

oh you're using a different library

idk you can try message.edit(files=[])

discord.py does it using attachments=[]

I would recommend trying that with pycord regardless

[slate swan]

its same for either

pycord is nothing but a fork

and same Endpoints are being used there

[civic fractal]

I know but clearly the edit method is different

discord.py does not support a file or files argument, only attachments

whereas pycord accepts the former two

I think pycord forked from dpy 1.7.3 where those arguments may have been defined

[slate swan]

might seem like that but no its same

property edit
This function is a coroutine.

Edits the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to InteractionMessage.edit() in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

its just message.edit in background

[civic fractal]

what

[civic fractal]

is this not true

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html?highlight=edit#discord.InteractionMessage.edit

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=message edit#discord.Message.edit

I'm not seeing file-related parameters in either of these places

whereas pycord does have file related parameters

[slate swan]

file is for sending
attachment is for editing

all libraries have both

[civic fractal]

I said that the methods are different

you seem to disagree

right?

[slate swan]

i said that context.edit is nothing but a shortcut to message.edit

[civic fractal]

I never doubted that

I guess we don't disagree then

[slate swan]

disagreed to this point

there's both file and files kwarg in discord.py

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[civic fractal]

discord.py's discord.Message.edit method does not support a file parameter

[slate swan]

edit, yeah

because it shouldn't be there

[pliant gulch]

[civic fractal]

since when are we talking about the sendmethod lol

[civic fractal]

clearly the edit method is different

[slate swan]

another reason why pycord is trash

i misread it then

[sick birch]

i'll add it to the ever growing list

[pliant gulch]

Is there a reason pycord has file(s) in edit

[civic fractal]

👍 (why are reactions disabled in this channel )

[pliant gulch]

Oh wait, no discord.py is the weird one here

[slate swan]

only way to find out is reading src

[pliant gulch]

Using the official API there is a file[n] key

And an attachments key

[slate swan]

!d discord.InteractionMessage.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionMessage.edit

await edit(*, content=..., embeds=..., embed=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the message.

[pliant gulch]

I see, both use multipart form data

But yes the offical API has a file[n] parameter

[slate swan]

ig discord.py did that to maintain consistency between Message.edit and InteractionMessage.edit

[pliant gulch]

And an attachments parameter

[supple ridge]

any help?

[charred radish]

uhh whats the color code for invisible embed?

[sick birch]

!d discord.Color.dark_theme

[unkempt canyon]

No way, José.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[charred radish]

or the color which matches discord's bg color

[sick birch]

!d discord.Colour.dark_theme

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour.dark\_theme

classmethod dark_theme()```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour") with a value of `0x36393F`. This will appear transparent on Discord’s dark theme.

New in version 1.5.

[sick birch]

i hate the british spelling

[uneven jackal]

do U :p

[sick birch]

At least when the documentation only works for one version, haha

Even though discord.py is aliased to use either

[uneven jackal]

Oh no! You got bit by the Rust bug too eh. (I'm trying really hard to ignore Rust and Go and focus one lang lol (I peeped your prof)

[sick birch]

It has indeed! I'm having quite a bit of fun - all that really matters to me at the moment 😄

[uneven jackal]

Oh see why'd you hafta go and say something exciting like that when I'M ON A DIET! =P

d! Pandas

[sick birch]

Can't hurt to try, friend!

[supple ridge]

regex returns a list right?

whats the actual question?

how do i let my bot go online?

yes but what is the code to get the bot online?

it says things about intents

here

did it

but still not working (this is my first bot btw)

yes

do you have like a standard code to get the bot online?

[naive briar]

There's basic examples in discord.py GitHub

[supple ridge]

can you help with regex

[solid orbit]

now it says:

[supple ridge]

from discord.ext import commands

[supple ridge]

at the start of the code near imports, paste this

[solid orbit]

i import: import discord, from discord.ext import commands

but now it says:

[supple ridge]

LMFAO

DELETE BRO

@solid orbit DELETE IT

[solid orbit]

i have reset the token

chill Xd

[supple ridge]

enclose it in ""

@naive briar regex pro

[solid orbit]

it still does not work

don't you just have a standard code template that is used to get a bot online?

i can't this will be like 20 screenshots

its so long

[naive briar]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[solid orbit]

this is not even all

i did

oh oops

that was an old screenshot

i already tried

i tried like 6 times already

[naive briar]

Reset your bot token also

[solid orbit]

i did

[supple ridge]

how can i detect reactions?

[crimson mauve]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=on_reaction_add#discord.on_reaction_add

I need to figure out the bot commands around here.

[crimson mauve]

It's because you need to have your token as a string. Without it between "" the computer thinks you are trying to call a variable.

[solid orbit]

i did that
