[steep wedge]

i'm currently running it on a raspberry pi underneath my desk (with visual studio open on one of my monitors)

[abstract owl]

also i agree with zippy instead of him spoonfeeding yall he's giving u docs to actually learn ✅

[cloud dawn]

I'd use a raspberri pi.

[abstract owl]

that's fine then

[steep wedge]

am doing

i'm not 'hosting' it as such right now

because it's not finished

[abstract owl]

okay

[steep wedge]

literally just running it on visual studio with the idle interpreter xd

[crimson mauve]

@steep wedge lol, it just hit me, you are thinking I'm telling him to figure it out, ain't you?

lol, I was asking if they got it after linking them the docs.

[slate swan]

[steep wedge]

ah lol

[abstract owl]

😶‍🌫️

[steep wedge]

i didn't read the chat so

did you seriously only realise i thought that now, though

[crimson mauve]

Naw, I kinda agree with ray, some coders can be just total dicks like that.

[slate swan]

Do you know which model(s) are ideal for Discord bot hosting? If that's not off-topic for this channel.

[steep wedge]

yeah i had to self teach myself lua (not that hard to be fair but yeah) because of people like that

bear in mind i had no idea back then

[crimson mauve]

That's why I'm here and not on the discord.py server.

[steep wedge]

is there even any reason to change this

the server has 20 members

[crimson mauve]

Do you ever want to shut off your computer/let it go to sleep?

[cloud dawn]

Well to be honest 20 isn't much I'd say older versions of the raspberri could easily handle it. However it's a "nice to have" if it's a bit faster.

[steep wedge]

it's on a raspberry pi, not my main pc, plus the bot likely won't be up 24/7

[crimson mauve]

I would say no, VS eats a lot of resources.

[cloud dawn]

Obviously you won't "run" it like that.

[steep wedge]

well in contrast to what i just said right now it's running on my pc and has been for several hours without me noticing... lmao

[slate swan]

Sorry?

[steep wedge]

I don't really think it matters, it's the simplest of simple bots which probably has flawed code

[cloud dawn]

I assumed you meant pi models?

[cloud dawn]

That- and "what", I'm not expecting him to do anything crazy like using PIL or other heavy workloads.

[crimson mauve]

Run it on a pregnancy test for all I care. it's your bot, you know what you need from it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cloud dawn]

Stole my joke smh

[crimson mauve]

lol

[steep wedge]

yeah, it won't even exist for much longer so

[onyx rapids]

I dont need a host? I can just buy a pregnancy test? Time to get a gf ig

[shrewd apex]

what's happening here

[steep wedge]

pregnancy tests can be bought by anyone- you don't need a girl to do it for you :)

[cloud dawn]

You don't need a gf to buy one.

[fading marlin]

Time for a TIL

[cloud dawn]

Lol

[slate swan]

Yeah, but I'm not the 20-member server person :P
(For context I have a couple bots in-the-works, I'm using the aiosqlite library and both bots will probably be making frequent database queries. One is primarily a general-purpose, quality-of-life bot for a large server. The other is a game-bot.)

[cloud dawn]

I'm coding in c# rn I've got to compensate here for the boringness.

[crimson mauve]

I want to hear more about the game bot.

[shrewd apex]

chaos

[steep wedge]

am i the only one who mixes up syntax

i just wrote a whole function in lua

[shrewd apex]

never mixed inter language syntax

[onyx rapids]

Yeah but I prefer the impossible way

[cloud dawn]

Just stop playing Roblox or FiveM.

[shrewd apex]

✅

[steep wedge]

i don't play roblox

i see it as- if i'm making enough money from it, why stop?

[slate swan]

Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, etc. It is currently online and operating but I am in the middle of a re-write.

[cloud dawn]

Why else would someone voluntarily code in LUA?

[steep wedge]

because it's easy

[crimson mauve]

Card games, nice.

[steep wedge]

it requires practically no effort, and roblox luau is even easier

but the military community on roblox is unable to do jack shit themselves so they pay people like myself to do it for them

why would i complain

[crimson mauve]

Do you get more than min wage?

or just robux?

[steep wedge]

based on monthly income, just a little below min wage, but i have a rl job also

[cloud dawn]

min wage differs per country.

[steep wedge]

UK

[cloud dawn]

Ouch

[steep wedge]

yeah i agree

[steep wedge]

but in all fairness- it's not that bad for a relatively easy task

[cloud dawn]

Depends on how much time you spend on it and if you enjoy it.

[steep wedge]

meh it's okay

[lofty cedar]

I'm trying to make it so that when a user responds to my discord bot, it stores their message in a variable, any idea how I can do that?
Here's the code:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
        global tempVar
        tempVar = message.content
        return tempVar
    await client.process_commands(message)

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Verification", description="Please type your in game name:", color=discord.Color.blue())
    await member.send(embed=embed)
    inGameName = on_message(message).message.content
    print(inGameName)
    await member.send(inGameName)

[fading marlin]

bot vars!

though where do you get message from in your member_join event

[crimson mauve]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
        global tempVar
        tempVar = message.content
        return tempVar
    await client.process_commands(message)

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Verification", description="Please type your in game name:", color=discord.Color.blue())
    await member.send(embed=embed)
    inGameName = on_message(message).message.content
    print(inGameName)
    Your_Message = await member.send(inGameName)```

[lofty cedar]

I've got no clue I asked my CS teacher and he gave me a solution but it didn't work

[lofty cedar]

it doesn't even print anything for inGameName

[fading marlin]

what are you trying to do? like as a whole

[crimson mauve]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html?highlight=on_message#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

[steep wedge]

on_message would have no message to retrieve-?

[lofty cedar]

User joins >> Bot dm's them >> User responds >> Bot stores response in a variable

[fading marlin]

this has nothing to do with their issue??

[lofty cedar]

I've got await client.process_commands(message) to fix that

[crimson mauve]

not yet, but as soon as they try adding commands it will be.

[fading marlin]

they already process commands

[lofty cedar]

I've got a whole bunch of commands already, just didn't send the whole file haha

[abstract owl]

yea

[crimson mauve]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fading marlin]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for perhaps use this or a modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.11)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.11)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.11)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

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

[abstract owl]

im playing with pandas for some reason

[lofty cedar]

not entirely sure how but I'll have a look

[fading marlin]

the first example in the docs my work, though you would have to change the check a bit

[lofty cedar]

Is my issue maybe that it's checking as soon as the user has joined, but there's no message the second they've joined so there's nothing to print

[onyx rapids]

does anyone have a basic code that will make my bot respond? Like the total code

[crimson mauve]

    inGameName = on_message(message).message.content

You don't call this function, it's something that happens automatically, and even if you did try to call it you don't have a message from this function to send to the other one.

[lofty cedar]

So I need to do the wait for thing to wait for a response, then run it?

[fading marlin]

you send the message in their DMs, call wait_for, then do whatever you need with the message

[lofty cedar]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import asyncio

intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = 'YOUR PREFIX', case_insensitive=True, intents=intents)

async def main():
    async with client:
        await client.start("TOKEN GOES HERE")

asyncio.run(main())

You'll have some settings to enable in the developer portal but that will work

[lofty cedar]

Alright thanks :)

[fading marlin]

sure thing

[craggy pulsar]

Hey I'm currently coding a discord bot that will alert me in my channel every time a stock has a 13EMA cross over/cross under the 48EMA. Ive ran the code and there are zero problems but when the stock has a cross the bot doesn't alert in the channel or send anything. Any help?

[crimson mauve]

Respond to what?

[crimson mauve]

No errors?

[onyx rapids]

anything, like just something

[crimson mauve]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

[craggy pulsar]

Correct when I ran it on VScode there are no problems and it runs fine. It just isn't sending alerts to the discord channel when the EMA's cross

[fading marlin]

I'm gonna need glasses lol

[crimson mauve]

it's bigger if you open the original.

[crimson mauve]

Try changing your main() into a command you can trigger.

[lofty cedar]

I'm back again, it's now detecting the message and storing it but I can't get on_member_join to know what the message is

[fading marlin]

show code and elaborate pelase

[lofty cedar]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
        global tempVar
        tempVar = message.content
        print(tempVar + "ON MSG")
        return tempVar
    await client.process_commands(message)

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Verification", description="Please type your in game name:", color=discord.Color.blue())
    await member.send(embed=embed)
    await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
    print(tempVar + "ON MJ")
    inGameName = on_message()
    print(inGameName)
    await member.send(inGameName)

[fading marlin]

you don't need the on_message

[lofty cedar]

I'm getting tempVar + "ON MSG" but not tempVar + "ON MJ"

[fading marlin]

and you need to define a check

[lofty cedar]

I don't need inGameName = on_message()?

[fading marlin]

you don't need to call on_message

[crimson mauve]

you don't call inGameName = on_message()

[lofty cedar]

what would I put there then

[fading marlin]

just delete it

[crimson mauve]

nothing

[fading marlin]

wait_for already returns the message

you have to define a check though

[lofty cedar]

alright, then will inGameName know what tempVar is?

or yk what I mean ( I think)

[fading marlin]

wait_for returns a message object if it finds one. You can use that to define your inGameName var

[lofty cedar]

For the check function what do I do?

def check(m):
    return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

Do I keep it at hello? There isn't meant to be a set reply

[crimson mauve]

if all the person said was hello

and in the right channel

[lofty cedar]

What about if I need their response, not them to say a set thing?

[fading marlin]

you'll have to change it to check if the message is firstly inside a DM, and if the authors match

[lofty cedar]

so

def check(m):
    return m.content and m.channel == discord.DMChannel

It's also not in a lot of use so checking author has no point

[crimson mauve]

close

[fading marlin]

you should check author

[lofty cedar]

I've not coded in a while sorry haha

[fading marlin]

use isinstace, don't compare

and m.content will realistically never return a falsey value (assuming you've got message content enabled)

[lofty cedar]

if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
    ...

[fading marlin]

yeah, but do that in your check

[golden birch]

o

[lofty cedar]

Yeah

I've already got that in on_message btw

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
        global tempVar
        tempVar = message.content
        print(tempVar + "ON MSG")
        return tempVar
    await client.process_commands(message)

[golden birch]

im a beginner to python im failing it in school

[fading marlin]

yup, but you're not going to use on_message because that's not its intended use case

[lofty cedar]

okay

so is it return if isinstance . . . ?

[fading marlin]

no if

[crimson mauve]

How can we help you?

[lofty cedar]

okay

[fading marlin]

you still have to check if the authors match btw

[lofty cedar]

how haha

[fading marlin]

m.author == member?

[lofty cedar]

okay

where do I check it?

[cloud dawn]

I'm looking forward when the bot will reply to the user..

[golden birch]

with using MU

[fading marlin]

in your check...

[lofty cedar]

thought so just checking

[crimson mauve]

This https://codewith.mu/ ?

[lofty cedar]

I'm testing it and it's still doing just fine with the message in on_message but on_member_join still doesn't know what the message is. I've got this now:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
        global tempVar
        tempVar = message.content
        print(tempVar + "ON MSG")
        return tempVar
    await client.process_commands(message)

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Verification", description="Please type your in game name:", color=discord.Color.blue())
    await member.send(embed=embed)
    def check(m):
        if m.author.id == member.id:
            return isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel)
    inGameName = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
    print(inGameName)
    await member.send(inGameName)

[golden birch]

ye

[crimson mauve]

What are you getting stuck on?

[upbeat otter]

stop using global
and where do you even use tempVar anyways

[golden birch]

basically so

i js get confused copying the instructions

[fading marlin]

you don't need on_message in this case. on_message still gets fired on DM messages. Also, in your check you have message.channel, but your check's param is called m

[lofty cedar]

Was using it before this, I was trying to set inGameName equal to tempVar but been told to not haha

[golden birch]

and i also get confused on the errors

when i make a error idk how to fix it

[upbeat otter]

the check's fine....

[lofty cedar]

okay right I deleted on_message and changed that, sorry for being dumb

[upbeat otter]

don't even try to use global really, you should use a bot variable in your case anyways

[lofty cedar]

I hate global just prayed it would work

[upbeat otter]

(nvm I won't confuse you, Mr. Lee will help)

[crimson mauve]

What have you made so far?

[lofty cedar]

and what's a bot variable

[fading marlin]

isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel) no?

[upbeat otter]

oh yeah didn't notice that

[fading marlin]

Mr. Lee hehehe

[upbeat otter]

🛐

[lofty cedar]

So I got my brother to test it and I got this response
<Message id=1062087505698111558 channel=<DMChannel id=1061463231975133204 recipient=None> type=<MessageType.default: 0> author=<User id=424623683961749515 name='OutlawElite' discriminator='0642' bot=False> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>
his message was 'bad' lol

[fading marlin]

wait_for will return a message object

if you need the contents of the message use Message.content

[lofty cedar]

that's what I was using in on_message

[fading marlin]

you don't need to handle it in on_message

[lofty cedar]

so is this right?

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Verification", description="Please type your in game name:", color=discord.Color.blue())
    await member.send(embed=embed)
    def check(message):
        if message.author.id == member.id:
            return isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel)
    await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
    inGameName = message.content
    print(inGameName)
    await member.send(inGameName)

[fading marlin]

well you're just ignoring the output of wait_for

[lofty cedar]

the output for wait_for isn't the message content though

so it's not what I need

[fading marlin]

no, it's a message object, and messages have a content attribute

[fading marlin]

it has what you need

[lofty cedar]

when I printed it there's no content attribute

[potent spear]

proof?

[lofty cedar]

<Message id=1062087505698111558 channel=<DMChannel id=1061463231975133204 recipient=None> type=<MessageType.default: 0> author=<User id=424623683961749515 name='OutlawElite' discriminator='0642' bot=False> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>

[fading marlin]

that's the repr of a Message object

[potent spear]

it's just not printed in the repr lol

don't rely on the repr of an object, check the docs instead

[lofty cedar]

the heck is a repr

[potent spear]

google will tell

[upbeat otter]

representation for the developer, in simple terms

and yes, searching the web helps in its own way

[lofty cedar]

alr, so how do I get message.content?

[upbeat otter]

bro

[potent spear]

that's a no-brainer

content is an attribute of the message object

[lofty cedar]

Yeah

[crimson mauve]

Even I'm chuckling at this one.

[upbeat otter]

aaaahhh nvm

[lofty cedar]

I'm probably being stupid but my brain is shut off rn lol

[orchid hound]

That was a mistake

[potent spear]

get some rest, highly suggested then

[shrewd apex]

guys what do you think is the best of way keeping track between commands for example when one command is running another different command is blocked cause first command affects the result of the second command

[crimson mauve]

No worry, brain drain is real. might be time to take a break and get some water.

[lofty cedar]

It's only 7:30 I'm just dead from school and monday

[upbeat otter]

cache or just don't make the second command

[lofty cedar]

I'm still confused where message.content goes lol, can it go on the end of the await client.wait_for line or smth?

[shrewd apex]

so a dictionary...

[fading marlin]

!d discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command perhaps? and set a custom attribute to the first one preventing the second one from being run

[unkempt canyon]

discord.discord.ext.commands.on\_command

discord.ext.commands.on_command(ctx)```
An event that is called when a command is found and is about to be invoked.

This event is called regardless of whether the command itself succeeds via error or completes.

[shrewd apex]

thats a good idea

before and after invokes

[potent spear]

check in the docs what wait_for returns first

[fading marlin]

oh that exists too, right

[crimson mauve]

Have you though about starting on a simpler project to lean python with? Discord.py is kinda the deep end.

[upbeat otter]

or go to sleep first a highly commendable action for developers

[lofty cedar]

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

[potent spear]

💯

[potent spear]

negative
have you actually looked at the docs yet?
it even has examples

[lofty cedar]

I've been coding for years just not rlly done functions much or discord bots

[fading marlin]

touching grass too Imma do that now

[crimson mauve]

I don't know how to respond to this.....

[lofty cedar]

and by coding for years I mean on and off every so often

yes ik I'm not great at it

[potent spear]

not to worry, we all started somewhere

[lofty cedar]

I copy pasted that from the docs

[potent spear]

that's.. honest...

[crimson mauve]

right?

[lofty cedar]

not the code

the one line I sent u xD

[upbeat otter]

Or did we?

[lofty cedar]

^

[crimson mauve]

let's get you to understanding functions first then.

[potent spear]

you were born an expert? sign me up

[lofty cedar]

also guys I promise I'm at least slightly literate with python

[upbeat otter]

,

[lofty cedar]

I get how they're used, just not getting variables out of them xD

[fading marlin]

where "requirements" is the check function returning True, yes

[potent spear]

abort

[crimson mauve]

return Your_Var

[lofty cedar]

That's what I was doing originally

but that didn't work so

[upbeat otter]

I will I will dw, my main motive is your will

[potent spear]

learning how to read the documentation is 80% of the work
10% is thinking
10% is questioning how tf to implement it if there aren't any code examples

[fading marlin]

surely the last one has a much higher percentage

[lofty cedar]

I hate reading documents it takes so much effort to actually understand what's happening there vs with mine lol

[potent spear]

yeah, but I'd have to rewrite my percentages then, and that's me being lazy (productive?)

[potent spear]

yeah, so we play the documentation for you? won't go that way with every library though, you're quite lucky this one has lots of developers willing to guide

[upbeat otter]

just increase the percentage for the examples, 100 isn't your best bet

ok I need sleep 💀 just ignore that

[potent spear]

ah yes, getting over 100% when adding up, this is some 0.1 + 0.2 stuff

[lofty cedar]

Yeah, I mean I can struggle through it which is what I usually do but there's really not much I've found for my issues with this haha

[upbeat otter]

lmaooo

[potent spear]

as long as you don't go to YT tutorials, you're on the right path

[lofty cedar]

But I still got no clue where to put the message.content

[lofty cedar]

But brackeys (I'm hoping you mean copying tutorials word for word and script kidding them)

[upbeat otter]

bro got back to where he started

[potent spear]

if wait_for returns a message object
and you only need the content of that returned object...
then the rest of the thinking work is yours

[upbeat otter]

I'll give you an example 😔

[potent spear]

if the tutorials are from official documentation, I could understand

[lofty cedar]

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'wait_for' was never awaited

yay :(

[potent spear]

error says it all

even googling that can give you solutions

[lofty cedar]

yeah

that what I'm doing rn

[crimson mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/morpheus-believe-neo-beginning-to-believe-gif-5399492

Not going to lie, just reading the traceback is more than most people learn to do.

[lofty cedar]

So I take the def check(message) function out of the on_member_join function I think

[lofty cedar]

I've not completely new despite what it seems I swear

[upbeat otter]

wait_for_method_in_discord_py_returns_a_message_object_which_is_contained_in_this_variable_and_discord_Message_has_a_content_attribute = await the_bot_or_the_client_you_are_using_to_create_your_bot.wait_for("message", check = lambda: message_that_you_have_been_eager_to_get: message_that_you_have_been_eager_to_get.author == the_author_you_want_to_compare_to_and_hope_this_is_a_User_or_a_Member_object)

[crimson mauve]

Good luck

[golden birch]

thx

[crimson mauve]

@lofty cedar you might get use out of this too.

[lofty cedar]

I'll have a look after this, so far only thing relating to my error is all french variables or smth so that's taking a bit

[upbeat otter]

french variables?

[lofty cedar]

yea the stack overflow thing I found, the variables are all french idk

I think ik the issue tho but maybe not

[potent spear]

mr worldwide copy over here

[lofty cedar]

YO GUYS IT WORKS

[crimson mauve]

I think I'm going to write a little command line number guesser, then walk new people though how it works and why.

[lofty cedar]

Thanks guys :)

[crimson mauve]

Good luck with the rest.

[lofty cedar]

Rest should just be repeating this for now, but ty

[potent spear]

wait until he finds out about edge cases 👀
like his bot restarting and the new member not verifying before the restart

[lofty cedar]

Don't make me cry

[crimson mauve]

Saying should always doubles the amount of time a job will take.

hey, which category in this help area does selenium go into in this topical chat/help area?

[upbeat otter]

people be asking questions about the title lmao

[crimson mauve]

You sound like you have worked in UI/UX before.

[upbeat otter]

apparently
everybody did/does at some point

[crimson mauve]

Don't normally get complements, do you?

[upbeat otter]

I'm a guy
what do you even expect 💀

[crimson mauve]

Well I'm sure you are a good guy.

[upbeat otter]

you have a bad hunch on that one

[crimson mauve]

I tried ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[upbeat otter]

ill jidt go to sleeppl, gn

and thanks 😔

Anytime

[flat marsh]

Hello everyone

[crimson mauve]

Sup Amon?

[flat marsh]

i want to call these 3 functions BUT when i do i get errors

how can i divide on_message function to a bunch of smaller ones

[crimson mauve]

What errors?

[crimson mauve]

Just give the entire traceback

You are searching though a string somewhere, you need to use numbers to do that.

Line 29

[crimson mauve]

You are passing 'rand_num' as a string, not as a variable.

use just rand_num

[flat marsh]

hm ok

but i want to pass rand num

see?

[flat marsh]

btw its good that people have seen this show

respect

[crimson mauve]

lol

I see what is going on

command['today']['rand_num']

in order to access the lower levels of the dictionary you need to tell it level by level what path to take.

So command is the dict, 'today' is the key you want to access to get to 'rand_num'

[flat marsh]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

bruh i didnt see it

thx for opening my eyes

[crimson mauve]

It's always the little things that you get caught on.

Come on back when you get caught again.

[flat marsh]

yep, been coding with python for over a year now and these things still get me

[flat marsh]

kk (if the problem is what i dont see)

[crimson mauve]

I spent 3 days because I was forgetting to put something in a list first, so ya, if people claim to not have that problem every so often, stop lying.

[shut elk]

Hi can someone tell me why all except one slash cmd of mine are disappearing after 6 hours

There’s no errors and it keeps happening

Buttons still work

[shrewd apex]

cant tell without code perhaps you are syncing multiple times

[crimson mauve]

Not from here. Would need more info, like your code.

[shut elk]

!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.

[shut elk]

@shrewd apex https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ohukifahih

sorry was on mobile couldnt send it

create_verify_button is the one that only works after 6 hours (before 6 hours, everything works as intended)

[inner wing]

how get all the bot guilds?
using the api it self not libs

[shut elk]

nevermind, this is prolly what is causing the error:

[sick birch]

!d discord.Client.guilds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.guilds

property guilds```
The guilds that the connected client is a member of.

[shut elk]

But can anyone tell me why create_verify_button is the only one that works and also the cause of the unknown interaction for the defer msg

[shrewd apex]

u need custom id for each component time out as none add the views also respond to each interaction between 3 seconds if not defer it after that u can edit it with edit_original_response

also srsly the whole code base needs a re haul

[shut elk]

wdym

[shut elk]

yeah prolly

[terse orchid]

heya, does discord.py work with aws ec2?

[shut elk]

"u need custom id for each component time out as none" so i removed the custom id for every button view?

"also respond to each interaction between 3 seconds if not defer it after that u can edit it with edit_original_response"
So howo do I know if it responds between 3 seconds, do I use is_done or? Like idk what I would set the contition to respond send msg

[shrewd apex]

just use the endpoint https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/user#get-current-user-guilds

[shrewd apex]

yes

[shrewd apex]

u need custom id and timeout both the timeout must be None and custom id unique for each component

[terse orchid]

i'm getting
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
whenever i try

[shrewd apex]

u dont so based on ur host u have to make decision to defer or not

[shrewd apex]

logs

[shut elk]

I did have a custom id that are unique for each component and have them as none

[shrewd apex]

also once u have responded u can respond again unless u use the followup u can only edit ur response

[shut elk]

is it the same every time?

[shrewd apex]

i was telling my observations cause currently the state of code is not too optimistic plus i am on mobile

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[shrewd apex]

do u have python installed

[shut elk]

so after I respond with either defer and send_msg, you mean that I should use respond edit msg or something idk?

[terse orchid]

yes

[shut elk]

am a lil confused what u mean by that

[shrewd apex]

with version 3.8 or greater

[shrewd apex]

yes

[terse orchid]

pip works for other packages as well

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

await edit_original_response(*, 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 original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

[shrewd apex]

!pypi discord.py u sure u are installing this package and not some mirror?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.1.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[shut elk]

oh i was using this already

[terse orchid]

ah, its 2.7
any idea on how to update python on an ec2 instance?

[shrewd apex]

so see just remember this in an interaction u can use the .response to perform an action only once

after that u have to use the interaction instance

[shrewd apex]

lol i never used ec2 but i can try is it like a vm/vps u have acess to it's terminal?

are u able to like write commands?

[shut elk]

yeah ik that

[shrewd apex]

dosent reflect in code which causes those errors

[shut elk]

that is why I had response defer, then edit original response, then followup

[sick birch]

Is it running amazon linux or what?

[terse orchid]

yeah, googled a guide, thanks for the help

[shut elk]

but it gave error in defer so im guessing i haev to use respond msg

[sick birch]

yes

[shut elk]

the errors were bc of the defer so ill try the thing you said, but i solely changed to defer beacuse it had an error for response msg

[shrewd apex]

used azure never ec2 coz no cc

[crimson mauve]

Ah damn, I can't put discord.ui.TextInput onto a post like you could a button can I?

[shrewd apex]

its not able to find the message to defer

[shrewd apex]

u can add textinput only in modals

[crimson mauve]

I was afraid you would say that.

[shrewd apex]

what for tho? u wanted to add it in embed or something?

[crimson mauve]

Yup.

Something of a game thing

[shrewd apex]

just use a button send the modal

[crimson mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/yeah-it-could-work-seth-meyers-late-night-with-seth-meyers-perhaps-we-could-do-that-gif-20020572

[shut elk]

how, there is an interaction response defer msg

[shrewd apex]

btw u can also add selects in modals apparently but last time i tried a few months ago it didn't show up on mobile client so i ditched the idea u can try it out if need be

[crimson mauve]

Thanks for the ideas.

[young dagger]

Do you guys know why I can't run my bot?

Traceback (most recent call last):

[shrewd apex]

defer in first line then just use edit_original throughout and tell if u get any errors

[shrewd apex]

install the latest discord.py and update ur python version

u need python 3.8+

[young dagger]

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.```

[crimson mauve]

you don't need import discord.ui
just import discord

[shrewd apex]

yeah i can see itz 3.7

[fading marlin]

The GCC 8.3.0 isn't the Python version btw

[shrewd apex]

[young dagger]

So I don't need from discord.ui import Button, View
for my buttons?

[shrewd apex]

u can dosent affect the root cause

ur python version and dpy lib version

thats the problem

[fading marlin]

You need to have discord.py 2.0+ to use components. And to have discord.py 2.0+, you also need Python 3.8+

[crimson mauve]

I don't need to,
I just run import discord
and

class Stats(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
    @discord.ui.button(label="Stats", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, disabled=False)
    async def StatsButton(self, interaction, button):
        embed = discord.Embed(title=interaction.user.name)

works just fine

[manic knoll]

can you help with this code please? its giving me an error

it says this

[shrewd apex]

disabled is false by default

[crimson mauve]

Good to know.

[manic knoll]

i created a embed but it says that

[young dagger]

I'm using

        button2 = Button(label="Ban Appeal", url="LINKHERE", style=discord.ButtonStyle.link, emoji="✉️")
        view = View()
        view.add_item(button2)```

[manic knoll]

my command prefix is “/“

[shrewd apex]

command not found i don't know how to explain it better ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[crimson mauve]

You don't have a command in your bot named embed

[shrewd apex]

bro read thats not the issue

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension you're not calling this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.load\_extension

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

Loads an extension.

An extension is a python module that contains commands, cogs, or listeners.

An extension must have a global function, `setup` defined as the entry point on what to do when the extension is loaded. This entry point must have a single argument, the `bot`.

Changed in version 2.0: This method is now a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-coroutine "(in Python v3.11)").

u need to call it async

at this point how did u even find this channel...

You doing ok Asher?

[manic knoll]

can i dm you something?

[shrewd apex]

someone uses dpy across whole project and asks what dpy means ;-;

[fading marlin]

discord.py library??

[fading marlin]

I rather not, you can send whatever you need here

[manic knoll]

ok

[crimson mauve]

Not everyone knows as much as you, expecting them to is unfair to them and yourself.

[manic knoll]

so can you help me call it im very very new to this

[shrewd apex]

its just name of the library tho

[crimson mauve]

I can show you how I do it.

[manic knoll]

thank you zippy

goated

[primal token]

I would say such behavior makes helping better

[fading marlin]

First of all, do you know how to call functions/methods?

[crimson mauve]

Ok, I don't expect you to understand this, but I will try and explain what it does

    if sys.platform == "win32" or sys.platform == "win64":
        for file in os.listdir(f"{FilePath}\\Cogs"):
            if file.endswith("Cog.py"):
                await Bot.load_extension(f'Cogs.{file[:-3]}')
                print(f"{file} Loaded")```

try being the key word

[shrewd apex]

pathlib best

[manic knoll]

no

[fading marlin]

Then we've got ourselves a problem

[crimson mauve]

Nevermind, starting smaller.

[crimson mauve]

def Function(X):
  X+=1
  return X

Y=4
NewNumber = Function(Y)
print(NewNumber)

Understand any of this?

[manic knoll]

if i say no will you get mad 😭

[crimson mauve]

Not at all, it's best if we are both on the same page

[primal token]

ah yes, CamelCase for function names and variable names

you also forgot 1 more line after the function definition😡

[crimson mauve]

You get what you pay for around here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[manic knoll]

ok lets get on the samepage

[primal token]

what if you dont have money? Is chocolate a valid currency?

[fast musk]

automatic cog loaders, unless you specifically need a drop-in hot reload functionality, are a waste of brain power

Just put the names in a tuple and be done with it

[manic knoll]

is it best if we go to dms?

[shrewd apex]

import pathlib

async def setup_hook():
    for file in pathlib.Path("Cogs").glob('*.py')
        if file.name.startswith('_'):

[primal token]

no takesies backsies

[crimson mauve]

I should have put a bet on that.

[crimson mauve]

Still around?

[manic knoll]

yep

[crimson mauve]

Seeing as how you are brand brand new to python https://automatetheboringstuff.com/#toc

That site will walk you though the basics.

[manic knoll]

ok so what in that site should i click to help me remove the error

[crimson mauve]

This ain't like that

This site is to teach you python so you don't need to ask that question.

[fast musk]

I don't see your full code Certified, so its hard to say, but the indent on the listener is very out of place and means there could be more of an issue. The actual command overall looks fine

makes me wonder if the cog is even loaded

[crimson mauve]

It's not, we tried walking them though it about 5 times now. I'm just trying to get them to learn basic python.

[fast musk]

ah

[slate swan]

hey how could I fix this?

[crimson mauve]

It's hard to tell without the entire traceback/report

[slate swan]

that was all it

[crimson mauve]

no it's not

[thin trout]

can't find the problem

[slate swan]

@crimson mauve

[crimson mauve]

Discord.py and nextcord are fighting, you can only use one or the other.

[slate swan]

Oh

[crimson mauve]

Error?

[thin trout]

no error in console

i don't have and error logger

[slate swan]

it could possibly be an intents problem then because when I tried to make my own welcome message I had no errors in the console too!

[crimson mauve]

Where does print show up at?

[slate swan]

Hey zippy still having the same problem

@\

[crimson mauve]

know how to codeblock?

codeblock

Thank you

You uninstalled nextcord right?

[slate swan]

nope discord.py

[crimson mauve]

Oh, good luck then, I don't know anything about nextcord.

[slate swan]

nextcord is very similar to discord.py

you could just tell me in discord.py terms

@crimson mauve

[thin trout]

didn't understand (bad english)

[slate swan]

¿Dónde aparece la impresión?

@thin trout

[crimson mauve]

when you call print("string"), where does it print to?

[thin trout]

can't speak spanish either 😂

[thin trout]

dms

[calm plume]

Does anyone know how to help with the Eof while parsing error?

[crimson mauve]

Your DMs, here on discord?

[thin trout]

yes

it print in player dms when they try to verify

[crimson mauve]

Now I'm just confused.

oh, you don't know what print() is, do you?

[thin trout]

i don't know nothing abount python and bots

just trying to learn

[manic knoll]

sigh

[young dagger]

What is the latest discord.py version?

[crimson mauve]

https://automatetheboringstuff.com/#toc

[manic knoll]

i just cant figure out anything

[crimson mauve]

Where are you hitting a wall?

[thin trout]

thanks

[primal token]

Just use RealPython which has more information and is more explicit

[crimson mauve]

I'm getting the feeling they don't want to learn, they want to already know.

[young dagger]

Did they removed _ctypes?

in the new python version

[crimson mauve]

[young dagger]

What does this mean?

[crimson mauve]

What is _ctypes?

[young dagger]

I don't know. But do you know why my bot won't running?

[crimson mauve]

There is nothing in basic python called _ctypes

Look at what you are typing, now look at the example in the link I sent you.

[primal token]

!e

import _ctypes

[unkempt canyon]

@primal token :warning: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[No output]

[crimson mauve]

Also, what are you doing with ctypes anyway? Why do you need access to dll files on windows?

[young dagger]

I don't know what you are trying to say. But I received this errors after updating python.

[crimson mauve]

I'm just wondering what you had been using _ctypes for to start with. Where did you get this code?

[young dagger]

There is no _ctypes in my code.

[crimson mauve]

This says otherwise.

[primal token]

Its used by dpy internally, as shown in the error its being raised internally

[unkempt canyon]

discord/opus.py line 30

[primal token]

Beerhunter are you on linux?

[young dagger]

Yes

[crimson mauve]

Oh, they must be using some old discord.py then

[primal token]

Hope this article helps

https://www.pythonpool.com/modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-_ctypes-solved/

[primal token]

Its an issue related to ubuntu

[crimson mauve]

Good eye, here I was thinking they downloaded a script that was going to mess with them

[primal token]

Never actually encountered it since i haven't used ubuntu

[young dagger]

So from my understanding it's because I updated Python without installing the libffi-dev package beforehand

[primal token]

When updating python to a version of 3.7.0 >, yes

[young dagger]

Thanks noid

[primal token]

👍

[crimson mauve]

7 months.

[winged coral]

Dodging is OP, balance changes requested

Well I feel like being able to dodge an attack and simultaneously hit for 5 is quite a lot

[clear elm]

how do i make it so like i do !add (value) and then it adds the amount of (value) to a different embed

idk if that makes sense

so like

!add 7 (user)

!view (user)

(in the embed it says user has 7)

and then if u do it again it adds the 2 numbers

.

[spiral crypt]

@client.command()
async def level(ctx):
    member = ctx.author
    xp = levels_data[str(member.id)]['xp']
    level = levels_data[str(member.id)]['level']
    await ctx.send(f'{member.mention} is level {level} with {xp} XP')
    print("Done")

question, when i run !level it doesnt do anything, it doesnt even print done in the console, any ideas why this wont work?

[naive briar]

Do you have an error handler or logging

You should get an error 🤷

[spiral crypt]

doesnt do anything at all, its like it doesnt even see the command

[clear elm]

^

[sick birch]

Do you have any on_message functions?

[ionic garden]

not sure if yall need more context but-
why is this command showing up twice

[clear elm]

can some1 help me? ^

[slate swan]

Probably because you've synced the command specifically to that guild as well as globally.

[ionic garden]

so how do i fix this?

[clear elm]

how do i make it so like i do !add (value) and then it adds the amount of (value) to a different embed

[hushed galleon]

make sure you dont have a guild command of the same name or used tree.copy_global_to() on that guild, then use tree.sync(guild=...) to delete the duplicated command

[ionic garden]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nopiwacefo
this is my current sync command- how would go about making sure no more dupes occur?

[hushed galleon]

well you have two options for storing the number for each user:

1. put it in memory with some python data structure like a dictionary (not persistent)
2. put it into a database on disk and then grab the number from it when you need it

[hushed galleon]

dont use copy_global_to()

or at least have a way for your command to sync a guild without using that method

[ionic garden]

ffff

[clear elm]

i have this code

@client.command()
async def viewlogs(ctx, member: discord.Member  = None):
    if member == None:
        member = ctx.author
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f'{member} Logging', description="_ _", color=0xBB1A24)
    embed.add_field(name="Total Shifts", value="N/A", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Total Sessions", value="N/A", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Weekly Logs", value="N/A", inline=False)
    embed.set_author(name = f'{member}', icon_url = member.avatar_url)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed) 

@client.command()
async def addshift(ctx, member: discord.Member  = None):
    if member == None:
        member = ctx.author
    await ctx.send(f"Added 1 shift to {member}") 

@client.command()
async def addsession(ctx, member: discord.Member  = None):
    if member == None:
        member = ctx.author
    await ctx.send(f"Added 1 session to {member}") ```

this is what i have, i have no clue how to do it. i was wondering if u could possibly help me and tell me what to put in the value area if possible?

[hushed galleon]

you need to decide how you want to store your data

if you want to start simple, use a python dictionary and see how you can make your commands update the values in your addshift/addsession commands and how to retrieve them in your viewlogs command

[clear elm]

do u have one?

[hushed galleon]

dictionaries are a very helpful data structure and its worth reading about them
https://realpython.com/python-dicts/
but they are simply a way to associate values to different things

[thin trout]

is there a way to make a function that always sends a message after the last message in chat?
Example:

Bot message: type !support for help
User message: !support
Bot message: type !support for help

and the first bot message get deleted

[hushed galleon]

tbh i'd just use a dictionary for that too

store the last support message for each channel, and delete it whenever the !support command is used

[clear elm]

im like super confused still

[outer violet]

you can add mentions in the title of embeds right? or is it only description

[hushed galleon]

only description and field value

[clear elm]

do u think u can like give me an example code or something

[naive briar]

Apparently

[outer violet]

is that title or description?

[naive briar]

Title

[hushed galleon]

bruh no way it works for title and field name on mobile

[naive briar]

Try it with a webhook 🤷

[primal token]

delete this now, the FBI is coming for you

[hushed galleon]

consider how a dictionary can be used to track the number of donuts for different people: ```py
person_donuts = {"Luke": 4, "Andy": 7}

Add a donut for Luke:

person_donuts["Luke"] += 1

^^^^^^ ^ this is the "value"

\ this is the "key"

Add a new person, Rea, with 9 donuts

person_donuts["Rea"] = 9

Print the number of donuts for Andy:

donuts = person_donuts["Andy"]
print(donuts)

7

print(person_donuts)

{'Luke': 5, 'Andy': 7, 'Rea': 9}``` do you see how dictionaries work? and how it applies to the shift/session counter you're trying to write? instead of arbitrary people, you'd use the "member" of your command as the key, and an integer count as the value

[naive briar]

🤷

I'm in alpha version, maybe that's why

[slate swan]

🗿 title mentions hmm

[outer violet]

i forgot if it did or not

[slate swan]

works on phone

but not on desktop

@outer violet ^^^

[fading marlin]

aw man

[slate swan]

discord do be weird with designs 🚶‍♂️

[outer violet]

sadge

[fading marlin]

on_error should be a coroutine 🤔

[crimson mauve]

Modals are supposed to close on their own after hitting summit, right?

[slate swan]

the lambda returns a coroutine

[thin trout]

someone know how i can install discord components?

[slate swan]

:looli: the code is tested ofc

[fading marlin]

oh, asyncio.sleep

[slate swan]

don't use discord components, discord.py has views for buttons and other components

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[fading marlin]

thought you'd block too

[fading marlin]

yes

[crimson mauve]

Welp, time to fine out what I screwed up this time.

[fading marlin]

actually

[slate swan]

i just want my application to be error free, but functional 💃

[fading marlin]

they close if they've got a successful interaction response, otherwise they error

[fading marlin]

this server has some... unique custom emojis

[crimson mauve]

That's the funny thing, everything under async def on_submit(self, interaction): is working just fine, the window just won't close on its own.

[fading marlin]

sounds like a Discord issue to me

[slate swan]

it wont close if you don't respond to the interaction properly

i.e. your callback is faulty

[naive briar]

It's closes when you respond to it

[thin trout]

can't import select from discord

[naive briar]

What version is it

!d discord.ui.Select

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Select

class discord.ui.Select(*, custom_id=..., placeholder=None, min_values=1, max_values=1, options=..., disabled=False, row=None)```
Represents a UI select menu with a list of custom options. This is represented to the user as a dropdown menu.

New in version 2.0.

[thin trout]

yh my bad, i imported it from discord not from discord.ui

[slate swan]

Select is a read only class, while ui.Select ( which subclasses Select ) is the constructor

[thin trout]

oh ok

https://pastes.dev/VZG9E2Vi3f i cant find errors in the code and in console

[crimson mauve]

lol, it's not

[naive briar]

What's the problem

[real badger]

What is a challenging command to create?

[thin trout]

idk

[naive briar]

Then how would people help you if you don't even know what's wrong

Also why's your ticket command in on_ready listener

[thin trout]

its a cog

[thin trout]

i don't have an error logger

[naive briar]

You need to respond to the interaction in the modal callback

[crimson mauve]

lol, knew it was going to be somthing dumb

[naive briar]

I just said it closes after you respond to it

[crimson mauve]

thanks, I'll go find out how to do a modal callback then.

It was interaction.response.defer() for the record.

[real badger]

how do I create something that constantly checks for messages between two users when they execute a command (tic tac toe)

[fading marlin]

I would suggest the use of buttons instead

They provide a better UX

[slate swan]

help

what is wrong

[fading marlin]

it's client.command**(), not client.commands**

[slate swan]

oh tysm

[crimson mauve]

Lee is right, discord.ui is such a gamechanger.
But that being said. https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/tic_tac_toe.py

[manic knoll]

could anyone help with this

you have to be a specific role to ping someone

a / command

[upbeat otter]

does this allow everyone to click buttons? Oh I don't see where it is user specific

[upbeat otter]

oblique command

[upbeat otter]

do you want to make the user argument optional?

[manic knoll]

yea

[charred badge]

Hello, I hope this is the right channel for this. I was wondering if there is anyone that can help me work through an issue I’m having with my discord bot code. We can do it in dm or in here, whatever is the most comfortable.

[sick birch]

Hello! We prefer to keep things in-server. Go ahead and ask your question

[ionic garden]

so just deleting it would solve my problems?

[charred badge]

sounds good, tyvm for your time first of all.
so there isn't an error that pops up, so given my lack of experience, it kinda leaves me without much to go on. what i'm going for is a to pull a random monster from a list (the list is a bit extensive but i don't think that should effect anything) with a command and eventually after that i would like to make it pull a response from 2 different lists, but first got to get it to work. my issue comes from when i do the command nothing pops up in discord. below is the code:

import discord
import random
from discord.ext import commands

#intents for the new update for discord devs.
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

#command to talk to the bot
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content == "Hi".lower():
await message.channel.send("Hey, good to see ya!")

@bot.command()
async def rando(ctx):
monster = ['m1',
'm2',
'm3',
'm4',
'm5']

   await ctx.send(f'here is your target{random.choice(monster)}')

[sick birch]

Change your @bot.event to @bot.listen() and you should be good to go

[charred badge]

will try now!

oh, ok sorry for the confusion, the issue comes to the command one

[sick birch]

Yes, but your @bot.event stops all other commands from running

[charred badge]

which has the list to pull the random from the list, i just linked the whole code to incase if there was something that was messing it up

[charred badge]

will try now!

[manic knoll]

could anyone help me code something like this? okay so this is basically something where i select a user to ping and i will have a embed that says “You have been offered by (author)” but i have to have a certain role to do this

[charred badge]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!

[sick birch]

I take it it worked? 😄

[charred badge]

absolutely!

[sick birch]

Awesome, glad to hear

[charred badge]

thank you so much!

[sick birch]

No worries. Have fun!

[manic knoll]

@sick birch

[slate swan]

use a check

[manic knoll]

sorry im very new to all this so im a little confused

[slate swan]

a moment

[slate swan]

first of all, what library are you using for slash commands?

[manic knoll]

i do @woeful haloent.tree.command()

[slate swan]

right so you need to use a check
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.checks.has_role

@app_commands.checks.has_role(role_id/role_name)
``` above your command

[ionic garden]

for a slash command, i want the user to pass in a enum- basically, a str that can only take a set range of values (like apple and banana only)
is this possible? if so, how would i go about doing it?

[pulsar kettle]

I would like to code a command where a member enters a hexadecimal (e.g. FFFFFF) and the bot replies with an embed that contains just that colour. How can I go about doing this?

@bot.tree.command(name='color', description='Displays a color using a hexadecimal')
async def color(interaction: discord.Interaction, color: str):
    embed = discord.Embed(title=(f'{color} is displayed as:'), color=0xf6ff00)
    embed.set_image(url=color)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

async def command(inter: discord.Interaction, option: typing.Literal["apple", "banana"])
``` works

but you can use an enum too

[slate swan]

!d discord.Color.from_str

[unkempt canyon]

NEGATORY.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

ooof

!d discord.Colour.from_str

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour.from\_str

classmethod from_str(value)```
Constructs a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour") from a string.

The following formats are accepted...

[slate swan]

forgot discord.py uses british english mainly

[naive briar]

W

[slate swan]

you basically pass the user input in this classmethod to get the color for that value

[slate swan]

🚶‍♂️ even tho discord asks for color

[ionic garden]

so the enum.Enum? and i do it through type annotations?

[naive briar]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/transformers.py#L92-L106

[ionic garden]

oh lol, thx

[slate swan]

the type annotation is the easy way to do that,
but if you still want to use an enum this would be the format ```py
class MyEnum(Enum):
apple = ...
banana = ...

async def command(inter: discord.Interaction, arg: MyEnum) -> None:

[manic knoll]

ok so couldnt i also do something like @commands.has_role(“”)

[slate swan]

no

that;s for prefix commands

[manic knoll]

ok

ohhh

ok so what im stuck on is coding the whole command

@slate swan

[spiral crypt]

Sorry for the late reply

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

[sick birch]

No prob. You have this same issue: #discord-bots message

[spiral crypt]

so instead of client.event switch it to client.listen()?

[sick birch]

Yeah

[spiral crypt]

pog thankies ill test it out in a bit

[slate swan]

what part to be specific? what are you unable to do

[manic knoll]

all😭

How do I set the embed thumbnail to be just the colour the user provides? (e.g. if they provide ffffff the thumbnail is just pure white)

@bot.tree.command(name='color', description='Displays a colour from a hexidecimal')
async def color(interaction: discord.Interaction, color: str):
    int_color = int(color,16)
    RGB = tuple(int(color[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4))
    embed = discord.Embed(color = int_color)
    embed.set_thumbnail()
    embed.add_field(name='Hexadecimal', value = f'#{color}')
    embed.add_field(name='RGB', value = f'{RGB}', inline=False)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

you'll have to use some api or something for that

or pillow to create an image with your color

[pulsar kettle]

Any guides I can follow for that?

[slate swan]

https://www.thecolorapi.com/id?hex=ffffff

if you create a request to this url, you'll find an image field

which has the url for an white image

you can do it that way

[slate swan]

https://singlecolorimage.com/get/<your hext>/100x100

and use embed.set_thumbnail to set it

[sick birch]

You can type hint discord.Color

Oh I misread the question

[pulsar kettle]

Would this work? Embed.set_thumbnail(url=f'https://singlecolorimage.com/get/{color}/100x100')

[slate swan]

if Embed is your discord.Embed class, yes

[pulsar kettle]

I have this:

@bot.tree.command(name='color', description='Displays a colour from a hexidecimal')
async def color(interaction: discord.Interaction, color: str):
    int_color = int(color,16)
    RGB = tuple(int(color[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4))
    embed = discord.Embed(color = int_color)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url=f'https://singlecolorimage.com/get/{color}/100x100')
    embed.add_field(name='Hexadecimal', value = f'#{color}')
    embed.add_field(name='RGB', value = f'{RGB}', inline=False)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

yes it will work

[pulsar kettle]

Doesn't send thumbnail

[slate swan]

also as robin said, improvement can be made in your code! ```py
async def color(interaction: discord.Interaction, color: discord.Color):
hex_of_color = str(color)
rgb_of_color = (color.r, color.g, color.b)

[slate swan]

ill check wait

[slate swan]

the api seems to be case sensitive, use color.lower() that should fix it

[pulsar kettle]

Only works with white? wha

@bot.tree.command(name='color', description='Displays a colour from a hexidecimal')
async def color(interaction: discord.Interaction, color: str):
    int_color = int(color,16)
    color = color.lower()
    RGB = tuple(int(color[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4))
    embed = discord.Embed(color = int_color)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url=f'https://singlecolorimage.com/get/{color}/100x100')
    embed.add_field(name='Hexadecimal', value = f'#{color}')
    embed.add_field(name='RGB', value = f'{RGB}', inline=False)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

color.lower() ...

hm weird it doesnt work with lower either

[slate swan]

do you know how to make a request?

web request with aiohttp i.e.

[desert heart]

It works fine in the browser.

[slate swan]

yeah but not on discord

discord doesnt proxy it

[desert heart]

You can use pillow to create your own thumbnail then

[slate swan]

the io is not worth it when it can be done with a simple aiohttp request

a simple get req

[desert heart]

I disagree. The image is generated quickly, and using an API request introduces a dependency on a third party service which comes with its own set of problems

[pulsar kettle]

Nope

[slate swan]

just wanted to avoid a dependency and extra executors

[slate swan]

do you use pillow or any image generator in your bot already?

[pulsar kettle]

@bot.tree.command(name='color', description='Displays a colour from a hexidecimal')
async def color(interaction: discord.Interaction, color: str):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        data = await session.get(f'https://singlecolorimage.com/get/{color}/400x400')
   
    await interaction.response.send_message(hk.Embed(title='color').set_thumbnail(hk.Bytes(data.content,'color.png')))```

[slate swan]

it wont work that way for you, i used a diff library

but yeah you;re close

[pulsar kettle]

Oh, right

[slate swan]

1 minute, ill have to see how discord.py takes bytes

!d discord.File

!local-file

import io

file = discord.File(io.BytesIO(data.content), filename="color.png")
embed.set_image(url="attachment://color.png")
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, file=file)

@pulsar kettle this should do

[slate swan]

*set_thumbnail

[pulsar kettle]

file = discord.File(io.BytesIO(data.content), filename="color.png") the data in data.content "is not defined Pylance

Whole code:

@bot.tree.command(name='color', description='Displays a colour from a hexidecimal')
async def color(interaction: discord.Interaction, color: str):
    int_color = int(color,16)
    RGB = tuple(int(color[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4))
    file = discord.File(io.BytesIO(data.content), filename="color.png")

    embed = discord.Embed(color = int_color)
    embed.add_field(name='Hexadecimal', value = f'#{color}')
    embed.add_field(name='RGB', value = f'{RGB}', inline=False)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url="attachment://color.png")
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, file=file)  ```

[slate swan]

you still need that py async with aiohttp.... lines

just the way you send interaction changes

[pulsar kettle]

so like this?```python
@bot.tree.command(name='color', description='Displays a colour from a hexidecimal')
async def color(interaction: discord.Interaction, color: str):
int_color = int(color,16)
RGB = tuple(int(color[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4))
file = discord.File(io.BytesIO(data.content), filename="color.png")

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    embed = discord.Embed(color = int_color)
    embed.add_field(name='Hexadecimal', value = f'#{color}')
    embed.add_field(name='RGB', value = f'{RGB}', inline=False)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url="attachment://color.png")
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, file=file)```

[slate swan]

um no

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    data = session.get("the url")

file = discord.File(io.BytesIO(data.content), filename="color.png")
# rest of your code
# embed = discord.Embed....

[naive briar]

Also you need to await the .get to get the response object

And close using .close to release the connection

Or just use the context manager

[upbeat otter]

just don't use aiohttp

[upbeat otter]

just set the default value of user argument to None

[clear elm]

how do i make it so like i do !add (value) and then it adds the amount of (value) to a different embed
!add 7 (user)

!view (user)

(in the embed it says user has 7) and then if u do it again it adds the 2 numbers i have this code

@client.command()
async def viewlogs(ctx, member: discord.Member  = None):
    if member == None:
        member = ctx.author
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f'{member} Logging', description="_ _", color=0xBB1A24)
    embed.add_field(name="Total Shifts", value="N/A", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Total Sessions", value="N/A", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Weekly Logs", value="N/A", inline=False)
    embed.set_author(name = f'{member}', icon_url = member.avatar_url)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed) 

@client.command()
async def addshift(ctx, member: discord.Member  = None):
    if member == None:
        member = ctx.author
    await ctx.send(f"Added 1 shift to {member}") 

@client.command()
async def addsession(ctx, member: discord.Member  = None):
    if member == None:
        member = ctx.author
    await ctx.send(f"Added 1 session to {member}") ```

this is what i have, i have no clue how to do it. i was wondering if u could possibly help me and tell me what to put in the value area if possible?

[loud junco]

how can i import this class without needing to declaring bot in the file where i import it to

[upbeat otter]

why would you import a cog?

you can simply load it

[loud junco]

i made contraption for my database function

so i dont need to do the large chunk of sql syntax

i just need some parameter to make the code cleaner and readable

[upbeat otter]

then why's it a cog

[loud junco]

wait make sense

wtf am i thinking

and btw how do i define bot

[clear elm]

^

[slate swan]

you want to make a class that does database stuff for you?

[upbeat otter]

Sarth's gonna help

[vale wing]

^

[slate swan]

sarth's getting away in a minute

[slate swan]

can you elaborate

[upbeat otter]

average kota person

[vale wing]

@loud junco like this one https://github.com/BobuxBot/BobuxAdmin/blob/master/utils/database.py

[slate swan]

im just gonna sleep, havent slept in last 2 days

[clear elm]

so if i were to use !addshift @(user) and then used !viewlogs @(user) it would of added 1 shift to the specified user

[upbeat otter]

💀 oh well
have a good sleep

[loud junco]

thanks

[slate swan]

you would need a local cache or database for that, preferably a dictionary

i think someone told you about this earlier a few hrs ago?

[clear elm]

yeah but like i was super confused and also tired, i didn't understand and i lost the message

[slate swan]

!e ```py
shifts = {}
def _shifts(user_id):
print(shifts.get(user_id))

def add_shift(user_id):
shifts.setdefault(user_id, 0)
shifts[user_id]+=1

_shifts(580034015759826944) # with no shifts
add_shift(580034015759826944) # adding a shift
_shifts(580034015759826944) shift was added

🤔 wtf

oh

weird, gimme a moment

[clear elm]

what r the ids at the bottom

[potent spear]

a random user id

[loud junco]

oof

[slate swan]

its just my id, you'll have to use ctx.author.id in your code

[clear elm]

ok

[slate swan]

you can see the output in #bot-commands
as i call the add_shift with a user id, the count of shifts get increased

the implementation will be pretty much same for your code

but all this data will get lost when you restart the bot

[loud junco]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = prefixxx, case_insensitive=True, activity=discord.Game(name="rpm start"),intents=intents)

can i just copy paste this on top of the file to end my misery

[upbeat otter]

no

[loud junco]

https://tenor.com/view/klee-genshin-impact-hiting-desk-gif-21248354

[upbeat otter]

you can't

[loud junco]

how do i define bot ;-;

[upbeat otter]

But where

and why do you need to define bot

[slate swan]

you dont need to do all this messy stuff at all

[loud junco]

then how do i define it

[slate swan]

change the implementation, give me a minute

[slate swan]

is bot.db your connection object?

[loud junco]

yup

[vale wing]

When the

[loud junco]

its in main.py btw

[vale wing]

!pypi exenenv

[unkempt canyon]

exenenv v1.2

Environment variables verifier and type converter.

[vale wing]

I like this so much

[slate swan]

# database.py
class Database:
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot

    async def do_something(self, arg):
        return await self.bot.db.fetch(".....")
``` ```py
# bot.py
from database import Database

bot = commands.Bot(...)

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
    bot.db = await asyncpg.create_pool(...)
    bot.database_handler = Database(bot)

[vale wing]

cause I made it

[slate swan]

and then you can use bot.database_handler.do_something anywhere you want to

[clear elm]

@slate swan do i necessarily have to have the part at the bottom?

[loud junco]

bot.py 💀

[slate swan]

no

[clear elm]

ok

[slate swan]

your commands will work as those parts

[clear elm]

ok

[slate swan]

whatever you call it lol

[clear elm]

so what would i add to the value in the top embed?

[slate swan]

my __main__.py is just 3 lines 🚶‍♂️

[loud junco]

is it main.py

i mean like when do i do the thing in bot.py

[slate swan]

wherever your bot is located

[loud junco]

its just setup

so main.py?

[slate swan]

yea

[clear elm]

@slate swan

[vale wing]

This is an interesting effect fr ____

[vocal snow]

where are you storing the data of the shift and sessions and stuff

[clear elm]

help idk hwo to do that 😭

[vocal snow]

the viewlogs command is supposed to show the logs of a member, correct?

[clear elm]

yeah

[vocal snow]

so where/how are those logs being stored

do you have a database, maybe a json document, or something else?
