[spice jewel]

this is killing me

[upbeat otter]

no, I personally don't have a solution, we're in the same boat

[spice jewel]

should I uninstall and install sqlite again

and try stuff like that

[shrewd fjord]

....

U using aiosqlite

[spice jewel]

yeah

[shrewd fjord]

.....

[upbeat otter]

I mean you could try but I'd prefer making a single connection first and trying, so many unclosed connections may mess up the file and corrupt it at the end of the day

[shrewd fjord]

[shrewd fjord]

Ye

[spice jewel]

okay

[shrewd fjord]

Use db visualizer to inspect the db file

[spice jewel]

ive tested this all before

it all worked and now all of a sudden there is an error

(I didnt change anything)

[spice jewel]

okay!

[shrewd fjord]

Btw close the connections

await cursor.close()
await db.close()

[upbeat otter]

just make a single connection

[shrewd fjord]

[upbeat otter]

so many connections is resource consuming and makes the file prone to corruption

[naive briar]

It auto-closes after the context manager ends

[upbeat otter]

yes

[shrewd fjord]

Oh it's using async

💀i forgor totally

with open(file....) as ash:
Do the same lol

[upbeat otter]

[pastel basin]

May someone explain this to run the slash commands>

    await client.tree.sync()
``` I cant find it in the docs

Code?

[steep estuary]

what is the problem here?

the process is terminated because it's using too much memory?

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

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

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

[vocal hollow]

how to turn off @ everyone but allow mentioning of specific roles?

[pastel basin]

You can change this in your server settings

[static thunder]

async for entry in g.audit_logs(limit=1,after=datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(minutes=2),action=discord.AuditLogAction.bot_add):

why isnt this working nothing is logged

[vocal hollow]

yea but i am confused which settings to turn off @ everyone universally and to turn on specific roles

[pastel basin]

Maybe you need to enable the community first

Then go to the role that you want others to mention

[pastel basin]

It will disable @ everyone

[vocal hollow]

does community automatically disable everyone

[static thunder]

help me also

[vocal hollow]

oh ok

[pastel basin]

I guess

@vocal hollow
Check the second option if you want a specific role that can be @ by anyone

[static thunder]

ignore,,,

[shrewd fjord]

Hewo

who is from which country?

[shrewd fjord]

Remove after...

!d discord.Guild.audit_logs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.audit\_logs

async for ... in audit_logs(*, limit=100, before=..., after=..., oldest_first=..., user=..., action=...)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") that enables receiving the guild’s audit logs.

You must have [`view_audit_log`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.view_audit_log "discord.Permissions.view_audit_log") to do this.

Examples

Getting the first 100 entries:

```py
async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=100):
    print(f'{entry.user} did {entry.action} to {entry.target}')

[grizzled crown]

to find if a bot on discords is open source should one search on github

or are there other ways to know if the bot is free or more info on it

I am also curious if Discords has access to source code of all bots?

[vale wing]

Discord just sends events to bot and bot sends requests, how can discord have access to source

[grizzled crown]

idk, just wondering

hope not but just wanted to be sure

[vale wing]

They typically put it into description or on site

[grizzled crown]

sometimes I see link to bot on profile

but other times I dont

[vale wing]

Most of mega-popular bots like dyno and mee6 aren't open-sourced yk

[shrewd fjord]

Mhm

[vale wing]

You can look into this one, pretty qualite code 🤓 https://github.com/BobuxBot/BobuxAdmin

[grizzled crown]

so I wonder what if the bot didn't have link to info or github source code, how to get info on it?

[vale wing]

If they didn't put it there it's most likely not there

[grizzled crown]

so no way to get info or source code on it?

[shrewd fjord]

💀💀💀

[vale wing]

Why are you so obsessed with that

[grizzled crown]

I like different bots from different servers

[vale wing]

There are tons of open-source bots just search until you find one

[shrewd fjord]

Just make one yourself :)

[grizzled crown]

I hope to create my own server soon but dont know if I can do all the bots I want

I think its faster if I can copy them but sometimes I dont see info on it

[shrewd fjord]

Some of them has copy of whole popular bot, ex: carl bot

[grizzled crown]

but from what I am understanding, discords bot is actually similar to twitter bot

it seems a lot of bots use python

[vale wing]

They all use almost the same mechanism

Platform sends events to app, app sends requests to platform

Not a surprise, everything functions like that

[grizzled crown]

I see, so seems learning discords bot skill will translate to other kind of bots

[vale wing]

If you learn principle, not only library

[grizzled crown]

python principle or others?

[vale wing]

API interactions principle

Webhooks, requests and websockets

[grizzled crown]

hmm do most API use python?

discords API is python or could it also work with others, not sure actually

but yes I do think I need to learn more about API interactions principle as I plan to use bots and API in general

one great thing about this field is since code can be on your own private server, maybe it can't be copied as easy as javascript

I remember debating someone about this, but I think they mention javascript had their own server backend so not sure, I guess all languages are similar in a way, but I chose python for now

[shrewd fjord]

Discord API is itself made with js, but information the API give us, we can make the bot with any languages, python, js, golang etc etc

[grizzled crown]

oh interesting, didn't know that, thanks

so some discords bots may be harder to manipulate if programmed in a language you dont know

[shrewd fjord]

Yes

If u r wondering there is several python libraries, where they parsed all informations from the API and made it usable for normal users

For example discord.py or disnake

[grizzled crown]

I see, I am now wondering if someone got in trouble for copying someone bot and server? is it okay to do that I hope

[slate swan]

depends on how you define copy

if you straight up take their source and shit yeah. that can prob get it taken down

[grizzled crown]

discords has ban users for that?

I think this is why we need decentralized discords to become more popular

once things are decentralized, no one owns them and can ban people

[shrewd fjord]

For violating discord TOS

If the bot owner gives you the source or make it public or give you perms, then u good to go

[slate swan]

You can steal bot code lol?

[shrewd fjord]

Why not steal the whole bot lol

Like making a same type of support server as apollo

Copying their bot's pfp etc

[rare echo]

depends on intent

[shrewd fjord]

Lol

[rare echo]

they wont ban if its just a mimic but if its for malicious intent thats different, either for users or towards the real bot

[shrewd fjord]

Intention hm

[slate swan]

I understand now but mimicing I don't think could get you in trouble

[shrewd fjord]

Yea fr

Does anyone know reasons why a discord bot wouldn't work when printing that it's online and not giving any error?

Told u to use "" on queries

[spice jewel]

yes but it doesnt work then 😭

[slate swan]

nvm I fixed it

[shrewd fjord]

Ig #databases

I think it was do to me having an on_message event that only had pass inside of it

Huh?

I get syntax errors always on quotations lol

[rare echo]

yeah if you are using an event and not a listener then you have to process_commands

How to set dynamic cooldown in a cog?
Can't get access to self arg

[naive briar]

Just define the func outside the class

[heady verge]

bbutton.style = discord.ButtonStyle.gray, disabled = True

any way how to get this to work, it doesnt disable the button

[tough lance]

That defies the purpose of getting the self arg

[naive briar]

Why do you need that anyway

[naive briar]

Just separately set them

[heady verge]

oh ty

[tough lance]

to get access to bot obj?

[heady verge]

if user.banner == None:
                bbutton.style = discord.ButtonStyle.gray

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_check

cog_check(ctx)```
A special method that registers as a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") for every command and subcommand in this cog.

This function **can** be a coroutine and must take a sole parameter, `ctx`, to represent the [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context").

[tough lance]

Actually, I already found the fix

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.bot

The bot that contains the command being executed.

[naive briar]

I guess 🤷

[wraith meteor]

anyone gave example how to write voice data from channel to buffer queue?

while True: data = q.get() -NICE:)

[heady verge]

how to fetch a user in cogs

[vale wing]

Afaik only nextcord supports voice receive if you mean that

[wraith meteor]

yes i am using nextcord

i need RawInputStream from channel ID 🙂 to the buffer, now i am using sounddevice for this but this is not right way

[heady verge]

buser = await bot.fetch_user(member.id)
doesnt fetch the user in cogs should i define bot in cogs too?

[vocal snow]

Take the bot instance in the cog _init_

[heady verge]

okay ty

[shrewd fjord]

;-;?

[tawny junco]

No tracebacks? Spooky

Did you check the db for the data?

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah too spooky

[tawny junco]

That's the stuff of nightmares

The worse bug has to be the invisible one

[shrewd fjord]

Yep lmao

[vale wing]

Just an advise — don't create new connection for every query. Have one connection established on bot launch and close it on bot shutdown

UPDATE users id = ? WHERE guild = ? is invalid

What are you even trying to achieve

[cloud dawn]

Monin

[cold sonnet]

fill in the blank:
mo_ning

[naive briar]

a

[vale wing]

It's definitely a

!e print("mo_ning".replace("_",import("string").ascii_lowercase[int(import("math").log(1,69420)69(420+6+ 9**6))]))

with open("image.png", "rb") as f:
    data = f.read()```
how i convert this data to png ?

and then png to discord file ?

[vocal snow]

data to png? what do you mean

what is your actual goal? Do you want to send image.png to a discord channel?

[winged linden]

How do I change a global variable from within a tree.command

[slate swan]

use botvars

!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!

[slate swan]

that way you can use interaction.client.<var> to update it anytime

[vale wing]

Sending image is as easy as send(file=discord.File("path/to/file"))

[pastel basin]

Is there any command for cogs?

!cogs

hello I have a little question, Ive been tryint to import discord_components

but its saying:

I tried to install it using pip but:

I hope someone can help with it, ty!

[vocal snow]

are you using discord.py?

[slate swan]

yup

[vocal snow]

discord.py has components, you don't need a seperate package

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

[slate swan]

thank you very much 🙏

[timid spade]

i have few functions in my bot
they are not commands but they are just like normal functions like in basic python
They are just randomly lying around in my code
is there any better way to write them?

[vocal snow]

you could put them in a separate module and/or utilize classes

[timid spade]

i can try classes

[slate swan]

await ctx.send(embed=hell.main, components=[[Button(style=ButtonStyle.blue, label="Main", disabled=True),
                                                     Button(style=ButtonStyle.blue, label='test'),
                                                     Button(style=ButtonStyle.blue, label='Games')],
                                                    [Button(style=ButtonStyle.blue, label='Lock'),
                                                     Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label='test'),
                                                     Button(style=ButtonStyle.green, label='Admin')]])```

is this the right use of the buttons?

because I am getting the error: Button isnt defined

[vocal snow]

are you sure you imported it?

!d discord.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[vocal snow]

this is the class ^

[slate swan]

thank you

[timid spade]

can i somehow make the member argument optional? like if the user doesnt provide a vailed member it jumps to amount
what i mean is the command should work in both ways
^ <- prefix
^set @wodgenzi_#2586 100
set 100

is it possible ?

[cedar talon]

[hushed galleon]

yes, see the Optional[] special converter
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#typing-optional

[timid spade]

okay thanks

[flat marsh]

Hello, how can I get the author who used this slash command?

async def test_command(interaction:Interaction, minutes:str):```

[slate swan]

interaction.user

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[simple plume]

Anyone have any idea why this code isn't working?

[stray carbon]

What exactly isnt working?

[simple plume]

It does not react to the message

[stray carbon]

Does the bot have proper permissions?

[simple plume]

Yes

[stray carbon]

Oh wait

[stray carbon]

The id has to be int, not str

Remove the quotes from the id

[simple plume]

[simple plume]

Done, but now it will react to every message, and I want it to react to the messages on a specific channel

[vale wing]

You didn't have to remove entire condition

Just quotes around ID so it looks like this

if message.channel.id == 123456789012345678```

[simple plume]

Oh ok

[gentle nova]

Hello, someone can help me to make my bot work? I cant get command working , that command should edit channel permission for specific user, its possible to do it ?

@vagrant crescentHello, do you understand python and nextcord things ?

[vagrant crescent]

nope

[gentle nova]

@vagrant crescentWho from staff knows ?

[sick birch]

Why does it have to be specifically from staff?

[gentle nova]

@sick birchusually staff knows things

[sick birch]

also I recommend showing your code, errors, expected vs actual behavior to maximize your chance of getting help

[gentle nova]

im new here, and second day trying create one command

@sick birchi opened forum with code

[sick birch]

It's hard for people to answer questions with minimal information

[gentle nova]

and what im trying to do

[slate swan]

Can you show us the code you have so far? What exactly do you want it to do? Is it behaving in an unintentional manner? Do you get any errors?

[gentle nova]

@slate swancheck in #1035199133436354600

[simple plume]

Anyone knows how to solv it?

[vocal snow]

what's above that if statement?

[vocal snow]

!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.

[vocal snow]

please paste the code, I cannot tell from screenshot

[simple plume]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/efarewitob

[cold sonnet]

I can see there's a nested on_message

no deco just an on_message

[vocal snow]

and no code inside the function

[simple plume]

my bad I always forget about the paste thing

[sullen river]

yo could anyone help me with permissions?

wait nvm i thik i figured it out

[simple plume]

So what can I do to solve it xD?

[vocal snow]

well why do you just have a blank function there?

[still heron]

what i can do

[vocal snow]

you could do what it says

or are you looking for an alternative

[still heron]

I can't remove discord.py Because he is connected to it

[vocal snow]

are you using nextcord or discord.py

[still heron]

nextcord and discord.py

[vocal snow]

you're using both? in the same code/

[still heron]

what i can do

[vocal snow]

which discord.py functions do you require that are not present in nextcord?

[vocal snow]

and which nextcord functions do you need that are not in discord.py?

[vocal snow]

doesn't nextcord support application commands? why do you need discord.py for it

[vocal snow]

all of that is available in discord.py

looks like you don't need nextcord

just uninstall it and use discord.py

[still heron]

👍

[still heron]

They can never be used together 🥲

[vocal snow]

no, because nextcord was designed as an alternative for dsicord.py

[still heron]

ok thx

[vocal snow]

you shouldn't ever need to use both together, because they support the same things

just in different ways

[simple plume]

idk so just remove it?

[vocal snow]

sure

you put it there, idk why lol

[simple plume]

neither do I

[arctic fiber]

nothing comes up there? should i follow the discord py guide thing

[vocal snow]

Are you trying to learn Python or learn the discord.py framework

[arctic fiber]

i'm trying to learn to code bots

so i think the discord.py?

[vocal snow]

sure

but you already know intermediate python, right?

[arctic fiber]

i'm new to python

i don't know anything

[vocal snow]

then you should learn python first

[arctic fiber]

where do i do that?

[vocal snow]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[arctic fiber]

could i follow the discord.py learning guide?

[vocal snow]

that only introduces the framework. If you don't know basic python (datastructures, functions, classes, etc) then you won't understand it

[arctic fiber]

could you send me the first one and the third one?

[terse bobcat]

I have my python installed weirdly which is preventing me from using pip (which doesn't allow me to download pip install discord)

which channel should I be using for help

[vocal snow]

(first: https://automatetheboringstuff.com, third: https://python.swaroopch.com)

[vocal snow]

invoke it with the python command, python -m pip install -U discord.py

[terse bobcat]

I have pip (and discord) installed on my python install

however I cant change the version of python

I am currently forced to use Anocanda

do I need to update this?

[vocal snow]

oof I have no experience with this, sorry. You might want to claim a help channel

[vocal snow]

looks like your command has user parameter which you didn't pass when invoking the command in discord

[graceful ermine]

Hey guys how do I make it so that the bot fines the user that deleted a channel?

this is what I have currently

[sick birch]

"Fine" how?

!e discord.on_guild_channel_delete

!d discord.on_guild_channel_delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_channel\_delete

discord.on_guild_channel_delete(channel)``````py

discord.on_guild_channel_create(channel)```
Called whenever a guild channel is deleted or created.

Note that you can get the guild from [`guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel.guild "discord.abc.GuildChannel.guild").

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

[sick birch]

note the arguments

[vocal snow]

smart, make people pay if they delete a channel and ban them if they don't

[neat basin]

I want my discord bot to send a message to the person running the command how do I do it?

[vocal snow]

ctx.author gives you a Member/User object, you can .send to that

[neat basin]

NameError: name 'ctx' is not defined

[vocal snow]

are you in a slash command?

[neat basin]

yea

[vocal snow]

then you would use interaction.user

[neat basin]

interaction.user.send ?

[neat basin]

not working

[vocal snow]

are you getting an error?

[neat basin]

no

[vocal snow]

can you show your code/

[neat basin]

@bot.tree.command(name="tc")
async def tc(interaction: discord.Interaction, tc:str):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"{interaction.user.name} said: '{tc}' ")

    print("1")
    cur.execute("SELECT * FROM `data` WHERE `TC` = %s", (tc,),"")

    print("2")
    sonuc = cur.fetchall()

    print("3")
    for x in sonuc:
        print(tuple(y.decode() if isinstance(y, (bytes, bytearray)) else str(y) for y in x))
        await interaction.user.send(tuple(y.decode() if isinstance(y, (bytes, bytearray)) else str(y) for y in x))```

@vocal snow

[vocal snow]

so it's executing that print statement but not sending anything?

[neat basin]

yes

[vocal snow]

do you have any error handlers?

or have you set up logging?

[neat basin]

no

opss

sorry bro i getting error

yeah, so their dms must be closed

[neat basin]

no

[neat basin]

so how do i send it to the channel

[vocal snow]

interaction.channel.send / interaction.response.send_message if you haven't responded to the interaction /

[graceful ermine]

I read the document and I didn't get what I needed

[vocal snow]

interaction.response.defer + interaction.followup.send if you are unable to respond to the interaction within 3 seconds

[neat basin]

ok tysm

[vocal snow]

and you can set ephemeral=True so only the command author will see the message. like a dm

[smoky sinew]

@vocal snow

[vocal snow]

good mronign

good night

[pulsar kettle]

Trying to log when a member joins the server and it displays their account age (e.g. 1 year, 5 months... NOT the account creation date) and I get this error message when someone joins TypeError: can't subtract offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    now = datetime.utcnow()
    delta = now - member.created_at
    embed = discord.Embed(description = f"**{member.mention} joined the server**", color = 0xf6ff00, timestamp = embed.created_at)
    embed.add_field(name = "Account Age", value = delta, inline = False)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url = member.avatar.url)

    channel = bot.get_channel(1067413418597953637)
    await channel.send(embed = embed)```

I think it's something to do with the line delta = now - member.created_at

[vocal snow]

use discord.utils.utcnow instead of datetime.utcnow to get an aware datetime

[naive briar]

!d discord.utils.utcnow

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.utcnow

discord.utils.utcnow()```
A helper function to return an aware UTC datetime representing the current time.

This should be preferred to [`datetime.datetime.utcnow()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcnow "(in Python v3.11)") since it is an aware datetime, compared to the naive datetime in the standard library.

New in version 2.0.

[pulsar kettle]

Works better now, it displays the account age in days but it also shows 1:23:45.678910 after, so how can i remove that AND convert the days into years, months and days?

[vocal snow]

oh, sorry

you can help with music bot's as long as it isn't against any of the stuff listed above.

@vocal snow

alot of ppl do radio bots and i even seen one guy doing local files with beats he made for like rap cyphers

[vocal snow]

Yes, but the code mentions youtube

[jaunty hare]

so i have to censor it?

the word youtube?

[vocal snow]

No, we won't help with anything that utilizes ytdl or other such libraries

[jaunty hare]

[vocal snow]

If it's a music bot that obtains music legally then it's fine

[pulsar kettle]

How can i make it so it displays the account age as "x years, y months and z days", and remove the 1:23:45.678910 that appears after it?

now = discord.utils.utcnow()
delta = now - member.created_at

[slate swan]

use a timestamp

[smoky sinew]

that won't display y months or z days though

[smoky sinew]

https://pypi.org/project/humanize could work

[pulsar kettle]

Tried installing humanize and it wasnt working so i uninstalled python and reinstalled, then tried humanize again and it worked, but now my import discord and from discord.ext import commands wont install even if i type pip install discord in the temrinal since it just repeats requirement already satisfied...

Ill try restarting my pc, see if tha thelps

[naive briar]

They can just click on the timestamp to get the exact time

[pulsar kettle]

Yeah restarting my pc didnt help

[naive briar]

Then it's already installed

[pulsar kettle]

When i run the code i get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord'

[naive briar]

Show the log when you tried to install it

!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.

[pulsar kettle]

So just run pip install discord and copy whats there?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iyofefegek

[austere prairie]

ah, another python/pip mismatch

[austere prairie]

which IDE are you using?

[pulsar kettle]

Visual Studio Code

[austere prairie]

check the interpreter version (bottom right of your IDE) and see if the version matches output from pip --version

[pulsar kettle]

pip --version = 3.11
interpreter version = 3.10.9

[austere prairie]

then change the interpreter version to 3.11

click on the interpreter version and select 3.11 from the list that shows up

[pulsar kettle]

Tyyyy

Cant belive it was that simple 😭

[austere prairie]

https://gist.github.com/n0Oo0Oo0b/8c12660aa08cb77bae00e8b043b76b5d#method-1-changing-the-pip-version I made a gist on it yesterday because it gets asked so often 💀

[slate swan]

?

the relative timestamp style exists

but even if you want to use a timedelta humanize is definately not the best way

well, it works 🤷‍♂️

[pulsar kettle]

Humanize works, but is it possible to round the seconds? age = humanize.precisedelta(delta)

Looking at the website and im not seeing anything on rounding

[naive briar]

You better off making your own than keep finding

[smoky sinew]

pip install discord is the mirror package

i don't know if that one has been updated try pip install discord.py

[smoky sinew]

try minimum_unit="minutes"

[smoky sinew]

where exactly do you see months or days in the relative timestamp

if my account was created on jan 26 2020 you will just see "3 years ago"

[slate swan]

you just need to move your cursor on it?

[smoky sinew]

and?

[pulsar kettle]

Seconds doesnt appear but minutes has decimals

I could add milliseconds so there's no decimals ig

[slate swan]

you can't get it to work properly "according to your will" without making a custom parser

[shrewd fjord]

sarthh

[pulsar kettle]

Ok nvm i have to go to microseconds if i dont want decimals lol, I'll just deal with the decimals in seconds

Thx for ur help though guys <3

[slate swan]

👋

[shrewd fjord]

Y not round it?

Altho idk what's the prob

[shrewd fjord]

hi bye

[glad palm]

is pycord or discordpy recommended over the other? is there a difference?

[naive briar]

discord.py >>> pretty much any forks

[hushed galleon]

discord.py is the most popular python library for handling the discord API, and i think its decently organized (specifically the newer features since thats where most forks of d.py deviate the most), but i cant say anything about the architecture of pycord and both libraries seem to be actively maintained

[pulsar kettle]

Is it possible for a bot to return "None" for their member.display_name if they do not have a nickname or will it always return their username UNLESS they have a nickname? (sorry if unclear)

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.User.display_name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.display\_name

property display_name```
Returns the user’s display name.

For regular users this is just their username, but if they have a guild specific nickname then that is returned instead.

[hushed galleon]

well the property says the return type is str, so None shouldnt be expected

[slate swan]

discord.py's way of handling things is far better and consistency than pycord, py-cord is easier and provides additional features like built in pagination and voice recieve from discord...

but in general opinion dpy is more preferable

[glad palm]

ok thank you @hushed galleon and @slate swan!

[slate swan]

display_name is literally just ```py
member.nick or member.name

[slate swan]

can anyone help with this?

[vocal snow]

can you share your code?

so you wont even tell me what the error code its

[austere prairie]

I don't even know what the error is, I haven't seen that before

[viral fulcrum]

This seems to be a common issue I cant find the right answer for: I can get my bot to run its just that the @ bot.command() does not work. How can I resolve this?

[vocal snow]

have you enabled message content intents?

[austere prairie]

make sure message content is enabled in the dev portal as well

[viral fulcrum]

Yes I have

In my file and in the portal

I wonder if it has to do something with the order. But at the same time, the ide isn't throwing any errors

Order of my code*

[vocal snow]

do you have an on_message event?

[viral fulcrum]

I don't have an event, I only have the command and the function for the command

[sick birch]

Great time to segue to something...
So y'all might know by know I'm the project lead for migrating pins from this channel to site
Additionally I'm also tasked with a few tags that could be useful in situations like these
For instance, a tag explaining why on_message blocks your command handler: !on_message
Or generally common pitfalls like these
I'm looking for some volunteers to help doing that, if you haven't contributed to our repos this would be a great first step.
Let me know if you're interested and I'll CC you in a formal announcement that I'm about to put together 🙂
The work will be relatively easy as we want to tags to be pretty short

[slate swan]

hey man can you help me? i need to find the version off this code i have not coded by me by a freind is there any way i can find out

[sick birch]

Not sure what you mean by "version"

[slate swan]

what version the discord bot was coded in

as i am using the newest version right now but this was coded some time ago

[sick birch]

print(discord.__version__)

[slate swan]

this is what i got back

[sick birch]

What command are you running?

[slate swan]

print(discord.version)

[sick birch]

That needs to go inside your code

Then you run the code

[slate swan]

does it matter where?

[sick birch]

Yes

inside on_ready

[slate swan]

sorry i am very new to coding

[sick birch]

Np

okay its all good not my bot as i said dont want to get in trouble

[pulsar kettle]

Attempting to polish my bot's audit log, however whenever I ban someone it sends both on_member_ban AND on_member_remove. Is there anyway I can make it so it's like "if member was banned, don't send the on_member_remove"?

@bot.event
async def on_member_ban(guild, member):
    embed = discord.Embed(description = f"**{member.mention} has been banned**", color = discord.Color.red(), timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow())
    embed.set_thumbnail(url = member.avatar.url)
    embed.set_author(name = f"{member.name}#{member.discriminator}", icon_url = member.avatar)
    embed.set_footer(text = f"User ID: {member.id}")
    channel = bot.get_channel(1067413212955426877)
    await channel.send(embed = embed)

@bot.event
async def on_member_remove(member):
    now = discord.utils.utcnow()
    delta = now - member.created_at
    age = humanize.precisedelta(delta)
    embed = discord.Embed(description = f"**{member.mention} left the server**", color = discord.Color.red(), timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow())
    embed.add_field(name = "Account Age", value = age, inline = False)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url = member.avatar.url)
    embed.set_author(name = f"{member.name}#{member.discriminator}", icon_url = member.avatar)
    embed.set_footer(text = f"User ID: {member.id}")
    channel = bot.get_channel(1067413418597953637)
    await channel.send(embed = embed)```

(For clarification the on_member_remove is for when members are kicked or leave the server themselves)

[sick birch]

No convenient way

Personally I'd just leave it as it's pretty easy to infer

[quick gust]

check if the member is in the bans list under on_member_remove maybe?

[sick birch]

Do we know which comes first?

[quick gust]

it will still dispatch the event though

[quick gust]

well cant we just test and see, if its constant?

[sick birch]

Sure can

[shrewd fjord]

If it would exisg 💀

Exist*

[slate swan]

?

[shrewd fjord]

Nothing

!d discord.Guild.fetch_ban

[shrewd fjord]

Hm this may work

well maybe

it depends like robin said which event comes first

yea but he is explicitly trying to only do one and not the other so if try fails that will still trigger both events

[shrewd fjord]

Yep lol

[slate swan]

that's actually something I never thought of with the ban/remove events

[shrewd fjord]

Just incase if member get bans first then this code should work

If remove triggers first then 💀

Maybe u can use asyncio module too to give some delay, but idk if it would work lol

!d discord.Member.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.ban

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

Bans this member. Equivalent to [`Guild.ban()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.ban "discord.Guild.ban").

[shrewd fjord]

Meh

[fresh fern]

helppp

[upbeat otter]

yes

[fresh fern]

`@client.command()
async def setup(ctx, wlcmC: discord.TextChannel, byeC: discord.TextChannel, guildID: discord.Guild):

print(wlcm, bye, guild)

@client.event

this is not working

NameError: name 'guild' is not defined error

[upbeat otter]

ok and

[fresh fern]

this is not working

[upbeat otter]

read the error

[fresh fern]

i kknow

[upbeat otter]

learn python

[fresh fern]

but i made the guild a global variable

[upbeat otter]

so

[smoky sinew]

don't use globals like that

[fresh fern]

ohh

i knew it

[upbeat otter]

💀 then why ask

[fresh fern]

BRUHH i mean i knew that im making the vars wrong way

[upbeat otter]

!botvar use these

[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!

[fresh fern]

for me?

[upbeat otter]

yeah

don't use globals

[fresh fern]

oh yea ok

i tried that also it didnt work lemme show

`wlcm: discord.TextChannel
bye: discord.TextChannel
guild: discord.Guild

@client.command()
async def setup(ctx, wlcmC: discord.TextChannel, byeC: discord.TextChannel, guildID: discord.Guild):
wlcm = wlcmC
bye = byeC
guild = guildID
print(wlcm, bye, guild)

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
await guild.get_channel(wlcm).send("Hello")
@client.event
async def on_member_leave(member):
await guild.get_channel(wlcm).send("Bye")`

[upbeat otter]

bot_instance.wlcm = ...

[fresh fern]

ohhhh

never knew that

[upbeat otter]

ok

read the example

[fresh fern]

what does this do anyways

[upbeat otter]

makes the variables global, in a better way

[fresh fern]

ohhhhhhh

thankss alot

[upbeat otter]

welcome

[fresh fern]

ayoo

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

[pulsar kettle]

Code works, but is there any way I can make it significantly shorter? I'm going to do similar types of code for other commands and I would like to know if there's a way I can save lines and time: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oruyufopev

More specifically, embeds with varying images and titles depending on the random number landed on

[naive briar]

!d random.choice

[unkempt canyon]

random.choice

random.choice(seq)```
Return a random element from the non-empty sequence *seq*. If *seq* is empty, raises [`IndexError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#IndexError "IndexError").

[naive briar]

Pick a string from a list then put it in the embed

[fresh fern]

`client.wlcm: discord.TextChannel
client.bye: discord.TextChannel
client.guild: discord.Guild

@client.command()
async def setup(ctx, wlcmC: discord.TextChannel, byeC: discord.TextChannel, guildID: discord.Guild):
client.wlcm = wlcmC
client.bye = byeC
client.guild = guildID
print(client.wlcm, client.bye, client.guild)

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
await client.guild.get_channel(client.wlcm).send("Hello")
@client.event
async def on_member_leave(member):
await client.guild.get_channel(client.wlcm).send("Bye")`

this doesnt work

[shrewd fjord]

on_member_remove

Also, client.wlcm.id

[fresh fern]

Ohhhhhh thanks alot man

ill try and let u know soon......

[naive briar]

You already have the channel object

Why would you getting it again

[slate swan]

!e print ("hello world")

[unkempt canyon]

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

hello world

[slate swan]

omg wow

[fresh fern]

!e print("Hello Hello")

[unkempt canyon]

@fresh fern :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

Hello Hello

[fresh fern]

yo this is cool

[upbeat otter]

@fresh fern @slate swan
use #bot-commands please

[slate swan]

k

[fresh fern]

sorry

[upbeat otter]

I genuinely read that as "I am sorry" 💀 wtf

[still heron]

doesn't work what I can do

@upbeat otter

[vocal snow]

how have you defined avatarowner?

[slate swan]

Hello, How would i make my bot status say watching number of ticket

[vocal snow]

you can change the status using change_presence

!d discord.Client.change_presence

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.change\_presence

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

Changes the client’s presence.

Example

```py
game = discord.Game("with the API")
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=game)
```   Changed in version 2.0: Removed the `afk` keyword-only parameter...

[slate swan]

Err, No i just want it to say watching number of tickets

[vocal snow]

yes, so you use that method to change the status to say whatever you want it to say

[slate swan]

How would i make the bot do it automatically?

[vocal snow]

you could change it whenever a ticket is created

[slate swan]

Surely, there is a way to do it automatically

[vocal snow]

how much more automatic can it be

user creates ticket --> bot changes status

[slate swan]

So can i not make it change automatically

[vocal snow]

it is automatic

you have a function or command to create a ticket, right

[slate swan]

Nope, i was just thinking it could count the number of channel names with tickets

[vocal snow]

sure, but how is a ticket created

do you have a button, a command or something for it

[slate swan]

A button

[vocal snow]

so in the button callback, calculate the number of tickets, and then use this method to change the status

[slate swan]

Could you maybe help me do that, I'm not very good at python

[vocal snow]

do you know the code which is executed when the button is pressed

[slate swan]

There 2 dif bots, do they have to be the same?

One isn't mine the one what i want to change the status on is

[vocal snow]

so the ticket creator bot is not yours?

[slate swan]

nope, it's ticket tool

[vocal snow]

that would've been good to know earlier

anyways, you can still detect when a ticket is created

[slate swan]

Perfect

[vocal snow]

using an event like on_guild_channel_create

are the tickets normal text channels?

[slate swan]

Yes

[vocal snow]

do you know how to make an event listener with discord.py/whatever you're using?

[slate swan]

Err nope

[vocal snow]

ok, do you have any code so far?

[slate swan]

yeah

I just have a few random things what i found of stackoverflow

[vocal snow]

so you probably defined a bot or client variable?

[slate swan]

Yeah, bot

[vocal snow]

now, you can use the .listen() decorator to listen for an event; ```py
@bot.listen()
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
...

that function will be called whenever a channel is created

you can access the guild via channel.guild

and then the text channels of the guild via guild.text_channels

[slate swan]

So would it be something like

@bot.listen()
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
      await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="IDk what goes here"))

[vocal snow]

right

and you'll need to add the code to calculate the number of tickets, and pass that number to the discord.Activity name

[static holly]

Hi , why i dont have anny error and the code dont work?

[flat marsh]

can i do these 4 functions in one

they are essentially the same but idk how to make them one, so its flexible

[naive briar]

Subclass a view

[flat marsh]

?

So.. any help?

[naive briar]

What even is do these 4 functions in one

[flat marsh]

because these 4 functions are hard code

do you know what hard code means

[pliant gulch]

You can do a for-loop

!e ```py
for i in range(4):
print(i)

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 0
002 | 1
003 | 2
004 | 3

[pliant gulch]

Use this for the index then keep everything else the same

[flat marsh]

functions in a for loop?

[heady verge]

nvm used url for icon_url

[flat marsh]

why does this function only get argument from for loop named i as 3 (last element), how can i fix this

[tough lance]

Button callback takes three arguments

self, button obj, interaction

[pliant gulch]

You shouldn't be only getting 3 for i that's kinda weird. You could try enumerating instead of doing i in range(...)

[flat marsh]

the function only gets i as 3.. somehow

[pliant gulch]

for i, button in enumerate(button_list):
    Embed(value=button)

    buttons[i].callback = ...

[flat marsh]

what does this change?

and what is the Embed line

[pliant gulch]

It's an example following where you create the embed

It doesn't change much, it just enumerates the button list

So it gives index and the element itself

I'm not quite sure if it'll fix but try it out first

I mean, it's quite odd your only getting 3 for i as well

[flat marsh]

bro enumerate and range wont change a thing, this is like saying praying to god will make you a millionaire

cuz enum is range but with 1 more element which u get from it

[flat marsh]

which would be the actual button in this case

[heady verge]

how do i create subcommands for slash commands in pycord?

okay ty

[flat marsh]

it is, the i element of the enum for loop andy gave wouldnt change a thing

im talking SPECIFICALLY about the i element

[naive briar]

What are you even talking about

[flat marsh]

for i, button in range(something)```
andy said that this might change something, but it wouldnt (obviously)

Changing the Position of a role sends an update from EVERY role that got its position adjusted, rate limiting the bot and overall spamming messages I don't want. How can I fix this?

[winged coral]

You could cache the previous positions somehow, maybe on cog load or in setup hook

When one role is edited, this should theoretically be the one that was actually manually changed

Then modify the cache and compare to it next time to make sure the event hasn't already been handled

Although I wouldn't rely on the API sending through the initial edit first

From my bots this seems to happen most of the time though so should be good

[pulsar kettle]

I can live with the other roles appearing (does what code says technically, plus can be useful) but the role position change in in a separate embed from all the other role changes. How can I merge them into one embed?

[abstract owl]

is there a way i can make the whole code sleep for a specific period of time? and then it should start working again?

[gentle nova]

Hello guys, yesterday i found out few new things, today i tryed my code, and i need somehow to make if chances to work properly, so code

        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Nuplake')
        await channel.set_permissions(interaction.user, send_messages = False)
        await interaction.channel.send(f'{interaction.user.mention} smeigė gerą bankę į {user.mention} užverdamas jo kakarynę {minutes} min.')
        await asyncio.sleep(minutes)
    if chance < 7:
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Nusiplake')
        await channel.set_permissions(user, send_messages = False)
        await interaction.channel.send(f'{interaction.user.mention} paslydo ir neužtaikęs pliauskos prisiplojo snukiu į žemę. Dabar gulės pavėsyje {minutes} min.')
        await asyncio.sleep(minutes)```

If chance > 7: adding permissions to both users, message author and to user which was mentioned , with If chance < 7 all good , how to do it properly

[naive briar]

Like the whole program?

[abstract owl]

yea

i mean the bot stays on but its functions etc doesnt work

[gentle nova]

@abstract owli think so with asyncio.sleep you can try

[naive briar]

Yeah, it should be fine

[gentle nova]

Better help me with my problem now 😄

[abstract owl]

so like i wish for it to be off and on every specified time

[naive briar]

You can make a attribute for the bot instance then check if it's true

[abstract owl]

basically i want it to stay on for 1 hour then go off then come back after hour

[naive briar]

Like

bot.respond_to_cmd = False
await asyncio.sleep(100)
bot.respond_to_cmd = True

[naive briar]

Hmmm

[abstract owl]

hmm that's the issue 💀

i cant get my head

tried searching for module came across scheduler but not quite sure if it serves the purpose

[naive briar]

You can use tasks extension

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

[abstract owl]

so i put the whole bot in there?

[naive briar]

Loop every 1 hour then revert the value

[abstract owl]

but like it wont run for a hour yea?

it'll loop it but it wont be alive for 1 hour

[naive briar]

It can stay looping as long as your program still running

Or haven't stopped yet

[abstract owl]

now like for ex
i have a function print("hello world")
if i loop it, it'll send this every x seconds but i wont the bot to send this for 1 hour continually then sleep for 1 hour

run for x hours
sleep for x hours
repeat

[naive briar]

Uh, sooooo, maybe not exactly

[abstract owl]

yea

[pulsar kettle]

How can I edit the message so instead of it saying <Permissions value=0> -> <Permissions value=1024 I can make it simpler and say smth like value = 0 -> value = 1024?

If before_role.permissions != after_role.permissions:
        embed.add_field(name = "Permissions changed:", value = f"{before_role.permissions} -> {after_role.permissions}", inline = False)```

Nevermind

Tried smth random and it worked lmao

[abstract owl]

woah

[naive briar]

@tasks.loop(hours=1)
async def meowing():
    print("Meow")

This task will

Print meow
Sleep for 1 hour
Repeat
After running

[pulsar kettle]

Changed before_role.permissions to before_role.permissions.value

[naive briar]

Kinda close, yeah

[pulsar kettle]

Using an f string i can get what i want

[abstract owl]

yea close but it wont stay on for an hour aaaaa, anyways ty I'll look into some docs maybe it can help. Thanks again cat

[naive briar]

[gentle nova]

or you can do minutes = 60

and then asyncio.sleep (minutes)

[vale wing]

That's funny

[slate swan]

someone can tell me why i have 0 synced commands ?

[golden portal]

what is your code for the sync?

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(pyfiglet.figlet_format("BOT ONLINE", font="slant"))
    try:
        synced = await bot.tree.sync()
        print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)```

[golden portal]

show your app command code again, kinda need to see that aswell idk why did you delete that

[slate swan]

bcz im breaking the rule 5

!rule5

[velvet compass]

So you know that you are breaking a server rule and are asking for help on that? Now I see the timing, thank you for making your own disclaimer

[upper root]

Hello guys I have created a command handler inside a cog although it is not working. I don't know what I've done wrong. Basically, im trying to make the bot send "Missing role" if a user use the command and has not the role.
Thats the code:

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

    @commands.command()
    async def echo(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, arg):
        await interaction.response.send_message(arg)

    @echo.error
    async def echo_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error):
        print("There was an error")
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingAnyRole):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Missing Role")
        else:
            raise error

[sick birch]

It seems you are confusing an app command with a prefix command

[upper root]

how could I fix that?

[sick birch]

@commands.command() leads me to believe it is a prefix command
However interaction leads to me to believe it is an app command

What is your intention?

[upper root]

yeah its a slash command

not a !command

[sick birch]

Should be @app_commands.command() then, once you've from discord import app_commands

[cold sonnet]

you just spawn for these messages man

[upper root]

okay done lemme try, this should fix the error?

[velvet compass]

Yeah I'm not a regular in the channel, but moderation still occurs

[upper root]

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

    @app_commands.command()
    async def echo(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, arg):
        await interaction.response.send_message(arg)

    @echo.error
    async def echo_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error):
        print("There was an error")
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingAnyRole):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Missing Role")
        else:
            raise error

and thats the error I get

    raise errors.ExtensionFailed(key, e) from e
discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.error' raised an error: TypeError: parameter 'arg' is missing a type annotation in callback 'error.echo'

weird..

[cold sonnet]

I'm experienced in that

[stray carbon]

type hint arg

arg: str

Also, assuming your error is raised if user is missing some role but you are not checking it in the command?

[upper root]

should I place the error handler inside my cog command?

[stray carbon]

No

[upper root]

and btw I still get no message while running

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

    @app_commands.command()
    async def echo(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, arg: str):
        await interaction.response.send_message(arg)

    @echo.error
    async def echo_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error):
        print("There was an error")
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingAnyRole):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Missing Role")
        else:
            raise error

[stray carbon]

Yeah, this should work

[upper root]

get no message

I import it tho as a cog

[stray carbon]

What did you run?

It is a slash command, you have to sync it

[sick birch]

What does it say? Interaction timed out?

[upper root]

no it just say that I don't have the role
raise MissingRole(item)
discord.app_commands.errors.MissingRole: Role 1054565979394412544 is required to run this command.

[sick birch]

Inside your echo_error, do print(type(error)) and see what it says

[upper root]

its weird it do not print anything

its like the cog isnt imported correctly

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

    @app_commands.command()
    async def echo(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, arg: str):
        await interaction.response.send_message(arg)

    @echo.error
    async def echo_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error):
        print(type(error))
        print("There was an error")
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingAnyRole):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Missing Role")
        else:
            raise error


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

and here

        self.initial_extensions = [
            "cogs.test",
            "cogs.seb",
            "cogs.error"
        ]

[stray carbon]

why is there a ,

[upper root]

because after it I have guild_id

[slate swan]

I made slow mode on my discord channel but it works only for messages and not commands is there any fix for that?

[upper root]

do anyone have an idea why?

[vocal snow]

Could you resend the error?

[upper root]

it does not print anything tho except

this*

[vocal snow]

So the error is with the solebox command

What happens when you use the echo slash command?

And the error cog is in a module called error.py right?

[upper root]

it isnt a command basically what im trying to do is when the user use the slash command solebox and has not the role a message is sent

[upper root]

yeah inside a folder called cog

[vocal snow]

Ok, so why don't you make an error handler for it in the solebox cog?

Or you could make a Global one in the error cog with on_application_command_error event

[upper root]

how would I do that?

[vocal snow]

The same way you're doing it for echo command

[upper root]

I would like to do a global one, that will correspond for every slash commands

[stray carbon]

you need to make a function somewhere and then do this:

bot.tree.on_error = on_app_command_error # You have to define the on_app_command_error function yourself

[upper root]

okay so holdon I've fixed the problem, now it just doesn't send the message

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

        print(type(error))
        print("There was an error")
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingAnyRole):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Missing Role")
        else:
            raise error

<class 'discord.app_commands.errors.MissingRole'>
There was an error

This is what it prints

is commands.MissingAnyRole correct?

import discord
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands
I import this btw

[rapid jetty]

Why people use cogs when using decorators is so easier

[upper root]

wym?

[rapid jetty]

Using @client.command() is so much easier than using cogs to make comands

[hushed galleon]

cogs combined with extensions give you the ability to hot-reload your code, easily add/remove features, and more neatly organize your project

[fading marlin]

you still use decorators when using cogs

[rapid jetty]

Ik, but its different

[hushed galleon]

learning it might be confusing part, but afterwards using it is pretty simple: ```py

main.py

from discord.ext import commands

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
async def setup_hook(self):
await self.load_extension("path.to.my_feature")

bot = MyBot(...)
bot.run(...) py

path/to/my_feature.py

from discord.ext import commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
@commands.command(name="my-special-command")
async def my_command(self, ctx): ...

async def setup(bot):
await bot.add_cog(MyCog())```

[slate swan]

https://pastebin.com/NNNJ8Wcn

Any1 can check that error please?

[fading marlin]

Show your check

[slate swan]

I have a syntax error line 7

i removed the () after bot.event i tought it was due to that but no

[magic forge]

can i see ur code

[slate swan]

lol

maybe line 2 i forgot .ext

i try

nop it's not because of that

[rapid jetty]

@slate swan from discord.ext import commands

That's probably the error

Send us a print of the error

[upper root]

To come back to here, do anyone know please ? I’ve been stuck on this since days haha

[gentle nova]

hey guys

how to add embed

[slate swan]

How to like put in discord embed (description) x(x litteraly has to stay behind number)random number 1-50.random number 1-50

[sick birch]

Should be

if isinstance(error, discord.app_commands.errors.MissingRole):
  ...

[slate swan]

embed = discord.Embed(title="your text", description="your text")

[gentle nova]

await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed)
add to this code await interaction.channel.send(f'{interaction.user.mention} megino tvot per veidą {user.mention}')

cuz i cant embed = embed put

There is any way to put embed before await interaction.channel.send ?

Or do embed only for gif

[slate swan]

any idea on this error https://pastebin.com/yyNVxqP1 ?

[sick birch]

You took more than 3 seconds to respond to an interaction

[slate swan]

And how to fix it

[sick birch]

By not taking more than 3 seconds to respond to an interaction

[slate swan]

It must take more then 3 secounds

so can i handle the error by anychance ?

[sick birch]

Defer & followup then

[slate swan]

How i can do it please ;?

[gentle nova]

How to put embed after interaction ?

Cant get it work .. Nextcord pytho

[sick birch]

await interaction.response.defer()

[sick birch]

Can i see your code?

[slate swan]

Can i send it on pm ?

[sick birch]

No

[upper root]

thanks lemme try

@sick birch Man i love you hahah, thanks for the help really. It solved it, by the way as I realized im better doing it now. How do I turn this in order to make a cog that will affect all the commands and not only this command

[sick birch]

Your global command handler should be outside of a cog

[upper root]

so I need to put my error handler in the main python file?

[slate swan]

@sick birch You checked it ?

[gentle nova]

await interaction.send(embed = embed);

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

nextcord.errors.ApplicationInvokeError: Command raised an exception: UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'embed' where it is not associated with a value```

any solutions ?

[slate swan]

If you want to send embed send it like this

embedVar = discord.Embed(title="Title", description="", color=0x00ff00)
        embedVar.add_field(name="", value="", inline=False)
        await ctx.response.send_message(embed=embedVar)```

[gentle nova]

but can i use ctx if im using interactions ?

[slate swan]

just change the ctx to interaction

[gentle nova]

a

and discord to nextcord ?

In embed box should be a gif

so if i put embed = embed

it not gonna work ?

[slate swan]

@sick birch So would you help ?

[sick birch]

Most likely

[sick birch]

Check what?

No offense but that code is really shoddy and I see a lot of blocking

[sick birch]

I'm not quite understanding what you're saying

Me or plepuris?

@gentle nova

[gentle nova]

@sick birchIm trying to code a simple command which have to be like /slap but with penalties, but dont understand why my code struggling to do what i want

[sick birch]

I don't either

Since I don't know what your code looks like or what the error is

[gentle nova]

!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.

[gentle nova]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hegiyeribo

code like that , dont get errors

but code wont respond with other stuff

[sick birch]

Ah, I don't use nextcord, sorry

Role update sends embeds for other roles despite them not changing, I think its because embed = discord.Embed(description = f"**Role Updated: <@&{after_role.id}>**", color = 0xf6ff00, timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow()) isnt in an if but how can i fix this?

@bot.event

    embed = discord.Embed(description = f"**Role Updated: <@&{after_role.id}>**", color = 0xf6ff00, timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow())
    if before_role.name != after_role.name:
        embed.add_field(name = "Name changed:", value = f"{before_role.name} -> {after_role.name}", inline = False)
    if before_role.color != after_role.color:
        embed.add_field(name = "Color changed:", value = f"{before_role.color} -> {after_role.color}", inline = False)
    if before_role.hoist != after_role.hoist:
        embed.add_field(name = "Hoist changed:", value = f"{before_role.hoist} -> {after_role.hoist}", inline = False)
    if before_role.permissions != after_role.permissions:
        embed.add_field(name = "Permissions changed:", value = f"Value = {before_role.permissions.value} -> Value = {after_role.permissions.value}", inline = False)

    embed.set_footer(text = f"Role ID: {after_role.id}")
    channel = bot.get_channel(1067413212955426877)
    await channel.send(embed = embed)```

[potent spear]

on_guild_role_update gets invoked for a reason though, maybe an else statement will clear things up

something has changed between the roles which you're not comparing

you can check EVERY attribute, you'll see which one changed

[pulsar kettle]

I think I know of a fix but that'll double the amount of lines of code so I just wanted to see if there's one that's more compact

Wait nvm my fix would just repeat the embed description for EVERY change

[potent spear]

I'll guess the event is called because someone got a specific role in the guild
(before.members != after.members)
unless that's called on a separate event

[pulsar kettle]

I think it might be because the role position gets changed

[potent spear]

You’ll see… it’s an easy fix. Gl!

[pulsar kettle]

When you change one role position, it changes all the subsequent ones, so my bot spams those messages too (and gets rate limited grr)

[potent spear]

You can just skip the whole message if the position change is the only change… and I think changes only happen one at a time, nvm, this is not the case as I see in your embed example . so maybe just (positionB != positionA) return
Would fix that

[slate swan]

just check for which one has changed it's position out of order

[pulsar kettle]

How do I do that?

[exotic maple]

I mean yeah, but in my mind its more of an excuse to code things/learn new discord.py code

[potent spear]

aight

so your main problem here has to do with datatypes

you're passing most arguments as strings in the command, but in role.edit(...) most arguments need to be specific datatypes (not strings), for example, position needs to be an int

[naive briar]

Who would have thought

[pulsar kettle]

Would this work out better: async def roleedit(interaction:discord.Interaction, role: discord.Role, name: str = None, color: discord.Color = None, hoist: bool = None, position: int = None, permissions: discord.Permissions = None, mentionable: bool = None):

[potent spear]

yes, but you don't see yourself passing a Permissions object when typing out that command, right? xd

[pulsar kettle]

Yeah idk how to do the permissions part xd

[potent spear]

I hope you're starting to understand the redundancy of this command

[potent spear]

it's just not user-friendly

[pulsar kettle]

I might just remove the permissions part entirely because doesnt it have to be like the permissions value interger or smth

[potent spear]

you'd have to type a shit ton to set that up

(as a member using that command)

sure, you do you

Hey guys

[tired notch]

def find_user_info(ctx, user: discord.Member, command):
    info = get_user_info(user.id)
    if info:
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            return command(*args, **kwargs)
    else:
        def wrapper():
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Error",
                                  description="This person has not created an account yet. Start the game with `/start`.",
                                  color=discord.Color.red())
            embed.set_author(name=ctx.author.name, icon_url=ctx.author.avatar)
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    return wrapper``` i know this code doesn't work but is there a way to do something similar to this?

i use that in most of my commands and i want to make it reusable

[hushed galleon]

id write a check that tries getting the user info, if it succeeds then its assigned as an attribute on ctx, otherwise it raises some custom error that you can catch in a handler: ```py
class NoAccountCreatedError(commands.CheckFailure): ...

def with_account():
async def predicate(ctx):
info = ...
if info is None:
raise NoAccountCreatedError

    ctx.account_info = info
    return True
return commands.check(predicate)

To use:

@bot.command(...)
@with_account()
async def my_command(ctx):
info = ctx.account_info
...```

[tired notch]

oh wow that is very clean

i didnt know you could do that with ctx

dang you can just assign attributes like that?

[hushed galleon]

sure, its one of their few classes that doesnt specify __slots__ so you're free to add new attributes to it

though it is perhaps not a type-safe way to do it, so you might prefer making a function that raises the same error if their account doesnt exist, only difference in error handling would be having to unwrap CommandInvokeError

[tired notch]

wait what is the point of class NoAccountCreatedError(commands.CheckFailure):?
