@client.command()
async def d(ctx):
   attachment = ctx.message.attachments[0]
   await attachment.save(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), attachment.filename))

How to do that with slash commend

[slate swan]

but groups would work too?

[torn sail]

yes

[torn sail]

you can typehint a parameter with discord.Attachment

[slate swan]

I feel like that's more of a simple method though

[torn sail]

@app_commands.command()
async def command(interaction, attachment: discord.Attachment):
   ...

[slate swan]

ye @torn sail used a simple method .

cause you can just have everything chilling at the top

[slate swan]

yep

[tacit horizon]

ok

how interaction send file

[slate swan]

do interaction:discord.Interaction

don't just pass in interaction in your function

[tacit horizon]

what

await interaction.response.send_message(file=discord.File(output_path))

[slate swan]

does discord.File exist fr

[tacit horizon]

ya

[slate swan]

any error

[tacit horizon]

404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

[slate swan]

ngl, I can't solve that problem. First time seeing that error

[tacit horizon]

ok i have to send_message then followup.send

[torn sail]

It might take over 3 seconds to reach that code

So yeah defer and use followup

[tacit horizon]

what defer

[slate swan]

i agree with the guy above me

[slate swan]

hey i have a short question im new and trying to figure out why this is shwoing

[naive briar]

What is showing

[merry cliff]

Assuming that is pycharm, click on the error counter in the top right of the window (it should have green ticks and yellow signs at least)

But usually they can be ignored

[chilly dove]

thats likely a warning saying intents are required but missing

[ionic garden]

if i have a giant command (2000 lines)

is it appropriate to break it down into multiple functions and have the actual command pass in ctx to each of them one by one?

[chilly dove]

uh yes if its 2000 line please split it up

[naive briar]

A single command with 2000 lines!? 🙀

[chilly dove]

hope that command find a way to time travel or something with that many lines

[ionic garden]

it simulates

an entire adventure card game rpg

[slate swan]

I don't know how to fix my error

Coding: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ujuyetudos

[naive briar]

Don't name function the same as imported modules or anything really

[slate swan]

is that holding back the coding to not work? I don't know what else to name it

[golden portal]

yes, it shadowed your discord module, you can just change the function name so it doesnt overshadow it. ```py
@bot.command(name='discord')
async def _discord(ctx):
...

this way, the name of the command is still `discord`

[slate swan]

thank you i figured that out i have a new error in #1035199133436354600

[humble gulch]

I begged like anything 10+ times no reply

[fresh ferry]

can i have help with this please 😄
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/wuxilirove

[smoky sinew]

what's wrong with it

the bot won't run

you have a while true loop and you can't do that with async

the while true loop will never finish and your bot will never run

[fresh ferry]

File "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\main.py", line 86
global current_page
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: name 'current_page' is used prior to global declaration

[smoky sinew]

you didn't define current_page either

do something like current_page = 0, but you shouldn't even really use globals they're bad practice

!globals

[unkempt canyon]

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

Instead of writing

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

do this instead

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

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

[upbeat otter]

That is certainly sad

[smoky sinew]

when will you realize that people have their own time and that you aren't entitled to help

sometimes we have lives beyond discord

[ionic garden]

can views be in ephemeral messages

[naive briar]

Yes

[slate swan]

i made a discord bot that can automatically process cryptocurrency purchases

with discord.py

it supports bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin

i have no issues i just wanted to show it off

[smoky sinew]

thats pretty cool

crypto is nice

[slate swan]

i just need to make it look better but idk how

the embed is basic

[smoky sinew]

make it use only one edited message and add an embed color + author icon that changes depending on the crypto

orange for bitcoin etc

it would look way cleaner

also add a “cancel button” using a view that can cancel a transaction before the money is sent

[slate swan]

you can't cancel a transaction after it's been on the blockchain

[smoky sinew]

“before the money is sent”

while it’s still expecting it

[slate swan]

i was gonna use buttons or a modal but thats too much effort

maybe in the future i will

[smoky sinew]

not really

it’s kind of simple, i might do it tomorrow

[slate swan]

it would take me like a whole hour

[smoky sinew]

it’s just 20 extra lines

[slate swan]

which requires research

idk anything about discord.py

all i know is how to make a dropdown

[smoky sinew]

makes sense

[slate swan]

i only made it because i had to manually review everyones purchases

now i dont need to worry about that

automatic + faster

[smoky sinew]

thats good

what are you selling

[vale wing]

@slate swan do you use some crypto exchange service API or something else

[slate swan]

yes i do

[smoky sinew]

i would use a crypto library personally

[slate swan]

i have one but then i need to make custom addresses myself and its a pain to manage them

[vale wing]

Cause ik bitcoin is just purchases linked into a blockchain but where the hell is that blockchain located

[slate swan]

the crypto exchange generates address for me and then tells me how many confirmations the transaction has

once it reaches the required confirmations, i get the crypto sent directly to me

if they purchase with btc -> i receive ltc
if they purchase with ltc -> i receive btc

[smoky sinew]

it’s decentralized across all bitcoin nodes

[slate swan]

idk if im right or wrong but i think the actual blockchain for making transactions etc is blockchain.com

[slate swan]

its an automatic advertising thing

one hour of advertising is $0.10

[smoky sinew]

??? bitcoin is not centralized

it’s not run by one website

[slate swan]

idk if im right or wrong

[smoky sinew]

anyone can run their own bitcoin node

why do u even use crypto then just use paypal or something

[slate swan]

???????

u dont need to know how it works

its useless information to me

[smoky sinew]

then whats the point

[slate swan]

wdym whats the point

crypto is easy

and i trust it way more than something like paypal

[smoky sinew]

well you thought it was run by blockchain.com

[slate swan]

for making transactions

[smoky sinew]

so u trusted blockchain.com but not paypal

[smoky sinew]

yeah it’s just a wallet

[slate swan]

what even is ur point

just to argue

[smoky sinew]

chill out

oh my god i was just asking a question

[slate swan]

in a rude way

[smoky sinew]

tone is hard to interpret over the internet

[slate swan]

.

[smoky sinew]

you can’t know if it was rude or not because everyone sees it differently

[slate swan]

its quite clear what u meant

[smoky sinew]

yeah what’s wrong with that message

[slate swan]

is english not ur first language or something

[smoky sinew]

actually it’s not lmao

that’s kind of rude though

[slate swan]

i dont care

u be rude i be rude

[smoky sinew]

please stop

Don’t be rude to anyone kindly read #rules

!d range

[unkempt canyon]

range

class range(stop)``````py

class range(start, stop[, step])```
The arguments to the range constructor must be integers (either built-in [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "int") or any object that implements the [`__index__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__index__ "object.__index__") special method). If the *step* argument is omitted, it defaults to `1`. If the *start* argument is omitted, it defaults to `0`. If *step* is zero, [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "ValueError") is raised.

For a positive *step*, the contents of a range `r` are determined by the formula `r[i] = start + step*i` where `i >= 0` and `r[i] < stop`.

For a negative *step*, the contents of the range are still determined by the formula `r[i] = start + step*i`, but the constraints are `i >= 0` and `r[i] > stop`.

Similar names: pyside2.range, django.range

[slate swan]

sort the list in reverse then send to discord bot

[slate swan]

where do they get the information from though

[vale wing]

No really need, range does that

[slate swan]

unless the list is premade and contains numbers with different steps

[echo mural]

what kind of bot is it?

[vale wing]

In a less expensive way

[vale wing]

Uh yeah didn't think of this

[slate swan]

it handles automated crypto purchases

[echo mural]

oh nice

[vale wing]

But wait, to make a purchase you need to give out your private key don't you

[slate swan]

i use an exchange api

[vale wing]

Or any sort of credentials that are needed to interact with exchange API

[humble gulch]

Yes ik but they are 100k members cant 1 member help??

[smoky sinew]

u mean how they find eachother

[vale wing]

Or it just waits for purchases

[slate swan]

how do they know theres a new block?

[smoky sinew]

300k and no it doesnt work like that

[smoky sinew]

because they send that info to each other

[slate swan]

i dont understand

[smoky sinew]

public key

[vale wing]

Probably in a similar way torrents do

[humble gulch]

Ah nvm
Just agree discord=80% toxic

[smoky sinew]

again ur not entitled to help

[slate swan]

they generate an address from the exchange with my bot and then it listens for a deposit

[vale wing]

Purchases must be signed with private key and verified with public one iirc

[slate swan]

speaking like that certainly wont get you anywhere

[echo mural]

Sometimes we can't help everyone

[slate swan]

they have to be signed but i dont need to handle that since exchange does it for me

[humble gulch]

Ok I understood

[echo mural]

We're not robots and that's the prblm

mhm

[humble gulch]

Sorry if I disturbed u

Extreme sorry

[echo mural]

np

?

[smoky sinew]

only sender signs transaction

[vale wing]

If there's no member that can help you maybe ask chatgpt

[vale wing]

Yes that's what I meant?

[vale wing]

Although not a reliable source

[echo mural]

bruh
I'm not able to hear anything on voice channel while using discord on browser, now can I fix my browser settings

[slate swan]

@vale wing i use fixedfloat.com api

its a public crypto exchange that doesnt require any information or accounts

only takes a 0.5% fee too

all i need to do is create an order and give the buyer the address and it will handle it all for me

[lofty aurora]

So like I typed..
import discord
And it said ModuleNotFoundError: no module named 'discord '

[vocal snow]

did you install it?

[lofty aurora]

Like in my computer? Yeah!

[vocal snow]

!dashmpip

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

[vocal snow]

install it like that ^

then run your script with the python command

[lofty aurora]

Alright!

[hasty granite]

Hi! I have this code ```py
class GeneralCM(commands.Cog):
def init(self, bot: commands.Bot) -> None:
self.bot = bot

    #adds all functions in this class to the context menu
    for func in [getattr(GeneralCM, func) for func in [func for func in GeneralCM.__dict__ if not func.startswith('__')]]:
        self.bot.tree.add_command(app_commands.ContextMenu(name=func.__name__, callback=func))```

I'm getting a TypeError: context menus cannot be defined inside a class error and the cause seems to be that when I am getting the function, it is not bound to the class, how can I fix that? when I add the function manually it works fine, but I want to automate it

Also the list comprehension does return all added functions correctly

[naive briar]

It's clearly telling you that context menus can't be defined/created in a class

[smoky sinew]

whats a context menu

[naive briar]

Message/user commands

[smoky sinew]

ahhh

right click commands

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.context_menu why not use the decorator?

[vale wing]

!d inspect.getmembers + why not use decorator fr

[unkempt canyon]

inspect.getmembers

inspect.getmembers(object[, predicate])```
Return all the members of an object in a list of `(name, value)` pairs sorted by name. If the optional *predicate* argument—which will be called with the `value` object of each member—is supplied, only members for which the predicate returns a true value are included.

Note

[`getmembers()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect.getmembers "inspect.getmembers") will only return class attributes defined in the metaclass when the argument is a class and those attributes have been listed in the metaclass’ custom `__dir__()`.

[unkempt mauve]

how do I send a file through a bot? is it file=file?

[hasty granite]

@vale wing Because TypeError: context menus cannot be defined inside a class we can't, that's why I have to use this other method, but getting a function this way seems to unbind it, which is what i'm trying to fix

[vale wing]

Declare them as staticmethods?

Is dpy really that dumb that it doesn't allow methods to be added as context menus

Disnake allows that

What do your functions look like

[hasty granite]

It is ok, we fixed it, by using getattr(self, func) it refers to the instance and thus gets bound

thanks though!

[slate swan]

what's the point of doing this, it will work same as self.func

[hasty granite]

because func is of string type, so I need to convert it to be usable

[slate swan]

oh, makes sense

[sacred scaffold]

hi

[white citrus]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[vale wing]

This is not really how you should run the python code with discord bot unless you limit it to yourself-only

Imagine someone executing os.system("sudo rm -r /*") and that's where you say goodbye to your system

Also use commands framework for commands
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/index.html

[naive galleon]

😭

Bye bye vps or computer

os.remove("main.py") and bye bye your bot

You need to sanitise input

They need to completely isolate environment, there are millions of ways people can bypass the "sanitation" with

How do you get a category?

[light violet]

what category

[thin raft]

get a category by id

[light violet]

how

[thin raft]

:|

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

use this

[thin raft]

that works for categories?

[tough lance]

Yes

[slate swan]

a category is a channel, yes

[light violet]

why do i need to get a category

btw

[thin raft]

oh

Should I type hint it to CategoryChannel right?

[light violet]

help me pls

[tough lance]

Ya it'll return a CategoryChannel object

[light violet]

.

[tough lance]

You're using a * in your command params. So everything after the command name in the message is being sent as "opt".

[light violet]

what should i do then

[tough lance]

Remove the aterisk?

[slate swan]

you should be using subcommands instead of taking an argument and checking what it was

[light violet]

how to make that

give example please

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.group

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.group

@discord.ext.commands.group(name=..., cls=..., **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group").

This is similar to the [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.command "discord.ext.commands.command") decorator but the `cls` parameter is set to [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group") by default.

Changed in version 1.1: The `cls` parameter can now be passed.

[slate swan]

i think there's example in the docs, 1 min

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py#L63-L76

[unkempt canyon]

examples/basic_bot.py lines 63 to 76

@bot.group()
async def cool(ctx):
    """Says if a user is cool.

    In reality this just checks if a subcommand is being invoked.
    """
    if ctx.invoked_subcommand is None:
        await ctx.send(f'No, {ctx.subcommand_passed} is not cool')


@cool.command(name='bot')

[slate swan]

Hi, I was trying to make an embed as usual for my bot

score_embed = discord.Embed(title="Scoreboards", description= None)
        reaction_embed = discord.Embed(title="Grab your team role here!",
                                       description="Teams are randomized for balance.")

and further into the code,

  score_embed.add_field(name=role.name, value="0")

But for some reason it spits out this error:

    score_embed.add_field(name=role.name, value="0")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

I have no idea why an already created embed is defaulting to None. Both pieces of code belong to the same command - start.

When I run the same file on Python itself, it returns this error:

NameError: name 'score_embed' is not defined

Both the definition and the code trying to add a field lie in the same scope

is it possible to make custom cooldown in slashes?

I don't think anything like current_guild exists, unless that's a custom attribute of your bot

pivot = self.find_brackets(args_result)

[glad cradle]

**args actually is **kwargs is this intended?

it should be *args

[slate swan]

it's suppose to use **kwargs

args is just the name for kwargs

[glad cradle]

then you're calling it in the wrong way

[glad cradle]

here

**kwargs means that the function can take any keyword argument

your function is accepting self that is automatically passed by python and an indefinite numbers of kwargs, however you're passing a positional argument when calling the function, python is passing an argument too and here's the reason why you got the error

[slate swan]

i see, it's confuse cus i learned that self thing was a default thing

guess when i use kwargs i need to change something

but what?

[glad cradle]

what's the type of args_result?

a tuple?

[slate swan]

pattern = re.compile(r"[+-*\/]")
args_result = pattern.split(args)

args = 2d6+[5*1d4]/1d3

or anything that input into this:

@commands.command(aliases = ['r', 'diceroll', 'dice_roll', 'dice'])
    async def roll(self, ctx, args):

[glad cradle]

so it's a list, isn't it?

[slate swan]

yup

[glad cradle]

ok, I would make find_brackets accepting *args, you'll call it as self.find_brackets(*args_result)

args will be in your code a tuple, so you need to remove any inexistent method

[slate swan]

ok

accepting args...

uhmmm

[glad cradle]

you can't accept it as kwargs

[slate swan]

like this?

[glad cradle]

you could take it directly as list too

[glad cradle]

yeah, FYI this will unpack the list

[glad cradle]

this makes more sense

[slate swan]

will i need to change this too?

[glad cradle]

essentially you're just swapping from list to tuple and it's useless imho

[glad cradle]

yeah

[slate swan]

like this?

[glad cradle]

yeah but read the message that I wrote above

[slate swan]

guess i will need to remove .values() thing

remving the .values() thing i get this

well, i don't know how i will remove the inexistent methods

[slate swan]

guess i'm missing some point

i never messed with *args and **kwargs, so it's a new thing for me

[low ledge]

the program can't find the element, that mean that this element (element("id","addToCart")) isn't on the screen

[smoky sinew]

you mean if start in args or end in args or mod in args or is_outside in args?

[slate swan]

yes

bit it all meant to not being in that

[slate swan]

guess i will need to check up the number of arguments

[slate swan]

how do i make it check the lenght of my *args?

like, i'm planning to when it's just 1 arg it makes the first thing

else it just pass to the other thing

ops, i mean how many args is in the input

tat's what i'm trying to check

[smoky sinew]

len(args)

[slate swan]

guess that's not what i'm searching for

cus it printed 4 instead of just one

guess i need to gather the number of lists

like, if it just have 1

or i guess if there is 1 thing

or 4

i'm planning to [2, 4, 6, 8] being counted as 1

while 2, 4, 6, 8 being counted as 4

[smoky sinew]

that doesn't make sense

func(*[2, 4, 6, 8]) this is 4

func(*[[2, 4, 6, 8]]) this is 1

[slate swan]

asked chatgpt,
answer:
This error message suggests that there is a problem with the SSL/TLS handshake when the code is trying to connect to the Discord server using the aiohttp library. Specifically, the SSL/TLS handshake failed because of a SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE error.

This error could be caused by a number of things, including an incorrect SSL configuration, outdated SSL libraries, or network connectivity issues. Here are a few things you could try to resolve the issue:

Check your network connectivity: Make sure that your internet connection is stable and there are no firewall or network configuration issues that could be blocking the connection.

Update your SSL libraries: Make sure that your SSL libraries are up to date and there are no known vulnerabilities that could be causing the issue.

Check your SSL configuration: Ensure that your SSL configuration is correct and matches the server requirements. If possible, try to connect to the server using a different SSL version or cipher suite.

Try using a different library: If the problem persists, you could try using a different library to connect to the Discord server, such as the Requests library.

If none of these steps work, it might be worth contacting the Discord support team to see if they can provide any additional assistance.

[clear elm]

view DropdownView(bot=bot, author= author, interaction.user)

[dim cosmos]

what does it say

[bright wedge]

Yes

[winged bison]

lemme try again and see

[bright wedge]

Pass the right arguments in your object.

[clear elm]

File "main.py", line 80
view = DropdownView(bot=bot, author= author, interaction.user)
^
SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument

[winged bison]

@dim cosmos

[bright wedge]

Another obvious error

[dim cosmos]

Pause protection for a bit & try again

[bright wedge]

author=author,<----

[winged bison]

ok

[clear elm]

view = DropdownView(bot=bot,author=author,interaction.user)

[bright wedge]

author=interaction.user

[clear elm]

ohhh

[bright wedge]

...

[dim cosmos]

I'm traumatized

[bright wedge]

don't be rude, it's not necessary after all.

[clear elm]

ok

[dim cosmos]

That's not being rude but ok

[clear elm]

is it possible to make it so the selectmenu disables after someone chooses an option

[bright wedge]

Make sure, will work with bot=bot or will be bot=self.bot

[dim cosmos]

Yeah

[clear elm]

how do i do that

[dim cosmos]

You disable it on interaction

[winged bison]

didnt work

[dim cosmos]

Paste the error

[clear elm]

can you help me with that

[bright wedge]

There is many ways to do that

I mean you want to remove the select menu from the message or just make it not working?

[dim cosmos]

He wants to make it stop working

After the author selects an option

[bright wedge]

Let's see

[clear elm]

actually, ill remove the select

[dim cosmos]

Goodnight

[bright wedge]

Then you can edit the message

[dim cosmos]

view=None right

[bright wedge]

And define the view as None view=None

That will remove the view (the select menu in your case).

to have access to the view message you can use interaction.message

And do whatever you want (edit,delete,copy etc).

[clear elm]

thanks

[bright wedge]

Load your extension in async function

load_extension it's a coroutine so do await load_extensions.

[fiery cairn]

ok

await bot.load_extension("cogs." + f[:-3])

[bright wedge]

Read this.

[fiery cairn]

oh

so like this? ```py
async def load_cogs():

for f in os.listdir("./cogs"):
    if f.endswith(".py"):
        await bot.load_extension("cogs." + f[:-3])

[bright wedge]

You will need the asyncio built-in module

For run the async function

[fiery cairn]

ok

[bright wedge]

Seems ok

[fiery cairn]

uuh SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function

[bright wedge]

import asyncio

asyncio.run(load_cogs())

[fiery cairn]

ok

[fiery cairn]

Why is it only doing this locally and not on my VM?

[tacit storm]

dont do asyncio.run with load_cogs, because you wont be able to run your actual bot that way.

instead in your load_key_and_run function, make that async, instead of bot.run use bot.start (since bot.run is sync and it'll block), and in your load_key_and_run function, do await load_cogs()

THEN, do asyncio.run(load_key_and_run())

[bright wedge]

Vps?

[fiery cairn]

i mean deadass it's just a server I keep in my room under my desk

[bright wedge]

Well we use setup_hook function

[fiery cairn]

ok lemme try that

[tacit storm]

okay? cool? they arent using setup_hook, im simply giving them an actual working solution to how they want their code lol

[fiery cairn]

works 🎉

tyyy

[tacit storm]

yeah ofc

[bright wedge]

Well idk without tests

[fiery cairn]

🤔 tho the slash commands aint updating

still old commands

[tacit storm]

do you use bot.sync anywhere?

[fiery cairn]

no

from discord.ext import commands
import discord

class PingCog(commands.Cog, name='Ping'):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.slash_command(description='Check the latency of the bot.')
    async def ping_command(self, ctx):
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title="Pong :ping_pong:",
            description=f"Latency: `{round(self.bot.latency * 1000)}ms`",
            color=0x0000ff
        )
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(PingCog(bot))```

this is code for my ping...

[tacit storm]

oh you're not using actual discord.py you're using some fork

[fiery cairn]

lol

[bright wedge]

?

[tacit storm]

i don't know then sorry, best you can do is ask in the server for the fork you're using so they can give better help since they obv know the fork better than most here

[fiery cairn]

idek i used someone's bot to start off and build another bot on top of it

[fiery cairn]

how would I use that?

[tacit storm]

bot.sync is for acutal discord.py itself not the fork you're using so its basically useless here sorry, best you can do is this ^

[fiery cairn]

How am I using a fork tho

[bright wedge]

Your cog file is wrong

[tacit storm]

i can tell because commands.slash_command that doesn't exist in actual discord.py

[bright wedge]

Btw

[fiery cairn]

wut

[bright wedge]

Your cog file is from old version

[bright wedge]

The official docs for the new discord.py version,
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py

[fiery cairn]

ok

[white citrus]

How can i find an application subcommand with the subcommand name? Like /find subcommand test

[fiery cairn]

Is there somewhere like a basic pre-written discord.py bot with a ping and test slash command so that I can base myself off of that?

[pale zenith]

the example that was just posted above...?

it has example slash commands, with a bunch of comments too explaining what each does and how

[fiery cairn]

oh ok sowwy

[alpine cove]

lol

[odd lagoon]

whats wrong with my code??

[tacit storm]

||hi leo||

[slate swan]

code?

and try to use the unicode instead of the emoji directly whenever possible

!charinfo 💰

[unkempt canyon]

Character Info

\U0001f4b0: MONEY BAG - 💰

[smoky sinew]

it's the same thing

[slate swan]

it is the same thing but the encoding of the emoji might differ with the platform and might cause encoding error while doing operations like printing and stuff, while using the Unicode directly makes it completely safe

[ionic garden]

i want to dynamically add some buttons to a view, but i have some decorator buttons that i want to stay at the bottom
how would i do this?

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.ui.View.add_item

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.add\_item

add_item(item)```
Adds an item to the view.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[ionic garden]

yeah ik

[smoky sinew]

maybe add the other buttons dynamically too

[ionic garden]

so i have a buncha add_items in __init__

[smoky sinew]

actually

[ionic garden]

oh that's an idea

[hushed galleon]

iirc you just give your buttons the highest row number of 4 and it'll stay on the bottom

[ionic garden]

oh 4 is the highest row number? lol

[slate swan]

yes

because you can have only 5 rows

[smoky sinew]

0 to 4

[ionic garden]

so i have a view that can hold multiple values

like at the end of a game you've win, lose, or draw

should this be a string or enum

[clear elm]

i want to make a number go up +1 everytime the command is used

for example

i used ?warn (user)

the case number would be 1

and i used it again and it'd keep going up

how would i do that

[ionic garden]

you'd need a database for that

    @ui.button(label="Toggle Map", row=1, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def toggle_map(self, i: discord.Interaction, button: ui.Button):
        if i.message.attachments:
            i.message.attachments = []
            await i.response.send_message("Map hidden", ephemeral=True)
        else:
            i.message.attachments = [self.loc_img]
            await i.response.send_message("Map shown", ephemeral=True)
```how do i make this do what i want it to do?

[wanton mortar]

Are you trying to send an attachment? https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=file#file look into Files. Also, doing i.message.attachments = [self.loc_img] won't do anything. If you want to change the original message to show or hide the image do something like await interaction.message.edit(file=<the file object>

[ionic garden]

ok now it gives this lmao

[wanton mortar]

Your file is empty

[ionic garden]

idk how to show you that it definitely isn't

[wanton mortar]

Can you send the code where you make the File

[ionic garden]

            file = None
            if show_map:
                file = discord.File(
                    mark_location("hometown_map", *u.HTOWN[pos]["coordinate"]),
                    filename="hometown_map.png"
                )

            view = Decision(a, file, choices)
            await adventure_msg.edit(embed=embed, attachments=[file], view=view)
            await view.wait()

mark_location returns an io.BytesIO object

[wanton mortar]

Did you close the byteIO object?

[ionic garden]

i don't believe so

well, turns out i had to add this line:

            self.loc_img.fp.seek(0)
```for some godforsaken reason

[wanton mortar]

Hmmm, it should be open for it work afaik

[wanton mortar]

Yeah correct

You were probably reading from the file or writing into it and went to the end of the BytesIO() when you put it into the File()

[smoky sinew]

set up a database

[ionic garden]

how do i have a button send a modal

[clear elm]

already got one

[smoky sinew]

then use it

[smoky sinew]

await interaction.response.send_modal(...)

[ionic garden]

nice

[clear elm]

how do i do it

[ionic garden]

what db do you have

[slate swan]

do you know why?

[smoky sinew]

there's not one database

[clear elm]

?

[smoky sinew]

there are multiple databases that exist

and we can't read your mind and figure out which one you use

[heavy forge]

idk what to do to fix it

[glad cradle]

you have a typo, it's label

[heavy forge]

okey that is fixt but now

this

[glad cradle]

same problem

[shell oasis]

greetings pythonistas,
I am aware that you register slash commands on your bot using the discord.app_commands module but for some reason, the slash command does not appear for me. tried resetting the client and the bot

[quick gust]

what's the best way to add an alias to a command that's inside a group? example: .reminders as an alias to .reminder list

[pale zenith]

||||

[pale zenith]

!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.

[shell oasis]

oh?

[heavy forge]

and now

[pale zenith]

Have an external third function with your command's logic and call it from both, that's the simplest way

[glad cradle]

you're using s but it's not defined, what are you trying to do?

[heavy forge]

a friend tell me

[pale zenith]

Yep. Every time you add or remove a command, edit a name or description of a parameter, change an annotation or change anything that shows up to the user in the discord UI you need to sync.

I recommend you have a prefix command to manually sync since changing anything in the callback (inside async def) doesnt require to sync, and the sync endpoint is quite rate limitey, so syncing on startup is highly discouraged imo.

[shell oasis]

works finally ty ^-^

[pale zenith]

Yay!

[proud apex]

      try:
        with open('commands/factories and etc/enterprises.txt') as f:

    "1": "завода",
    "2": "чтото"
}

the console displays "1" and the command does not work, how to fix it?

[quick gust]

can I not invoke the .reminders command in the .reminder list command with the logic inside the .reminders command? Or vice-versa?

What are the attributes for channel Param?

btw if a channel gets created why would on_channel_update send 3-4 embeds of giving update about Channel?

[slate swan]

in which event?

[radiant bough]

On_guild_channel_create and delete

[slate swan]

TextChannel
VoiceChannel
CategoryChannel
StageChannel
ForumChannel
channel can be either of these types

look into attributes of them

[radiant bough]

[radiant bough]

So in guild channel update event how do I provide the information that was updated? Without actually using channel.name etc

[slate swan]

no way other than comparing the difference between properties of after and before in dpy

Hi all
I want to make a utility module for discord.py
Do anyone have idea on what should I make

[sullen roost]

how do i send a file as a link in discord embed?

[upbeat otter]

file as a link?

you want to send a link to a file?

[radiant bough]

So I have to use the attributes ?

[slate swan]

yes

[upbeat otter]

discord.py patcher 🧠 a library that monkey patches discord.py like a doctor and breaks it in every possible way 💀

[radiant bough]

mhm k

[white citrus]

Someone help?

[slate swan]

a library that makes discord.py case insensitive

[sullen roost]

its a discord.file() function

[robust fulcrum]

What you mean? You mean i can do
Bot = commands.bot or Bot = command.BOT

[sullen roost]

but when am sending it in a embed

its showing discord.file(object)

and not the link to download it

[upbeat otter]

you have to use discord.File for sending documents/whatever/images

[sullen roost]

yep

[upbeat otter]

can I see the code?

where you're doing this

[sullen roost]

yea sure

[slate swan]

yes

both should work

[upbeat otter]

tf

[sullen roost]

file = discord.File(filename="files/data.json")
        embed = discord.Embed()
        embed.description = f"Here is your file: [Click File to dwnload]({file})"
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

bot = cOMmaNDS.bOT too

[upbeat otter]

filename means the name that the file will be sent with in discord
you have to use the fp argument instead and specify the path to your file

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=..., description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[robust fulcrum]

Would that cause any confusion in code?

[sullen roost]

thx got it

[upbeat otter]

file = discord.File("files/data.json", filename="NameInDiscordClient")

[slate swan]

i was joking
if you wanna make something related to dpy you can probably make a lavalink extension or helper functions

[radiant bough]

How do I make this look good then?

[young dagger]

How to fix this?

[slate swan]

you can use the name attr of them instead of the object itself

[radiant bough]

how? 💀

[slate swan]

before.name and after.name

[radiant bough]

won’t that give channel’s name?

[slate swan]

yep

you'll have to manually check each attribute

https://github.com/PokeDis/helper-bot/blob/master/bot/ext/logging.py#L306-L332

something like this

[robust fulcrum]

what is lavalink?

[slate swan]

music player for discord

https://github.com/freyacodes/lavalink

[robust fulcrum]

In discord.py we can add role with one line of code?

[slate swan]

yea

[robust fulcrum]

I was thinking to make a roles manager

Chatgpt suggested me

[robust fulcrum]

Is it possible to make a bad words filter module for discord.py?

[slate swan]

automod already supports that

why would someone use a third party one

[radiant bough]

so, if I had to put the content only till 1024 in an embed what should I use?

[slate swan]

you can slice off the string

!e ```py
long_string = "a" * 100000
_1200chars = long_string[:1200]
print(len(_1200chars))

[unkempt canyon]

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

[quick gust]

@slate swan sarth

[slate swan]

you can use a logic inside the parent command py if ctx.invoked_subcommand is not None: return ctx.invoked_subcommand will be None if there was no subcommand used

[quick gust]

I don't think I fully understand

[slate swan]

@bot.group()
async def main(ctx):
    if ctx.invoked_subcommand:
        # a subcommand was used 
    else:
        # subcommand was not used

oh

wait, you're asking asking for something else

you can just create a new command ig and invoke the command you want

@bot.command()
async def reminders(ctx, *args):
    command = bot.get_command("reminder list")
    await command(ctx, *args)

[white citrus]

Can someone help now please?

[regal hinge]

!return

[unkempt canyon]

Return Statement

A value created inside a function can't be used outside of it unless you return it.

Consider the following function:

def square(n):
    return n * n

If we wanted to store 5 squared in a variable called x, we would do:
x = square(5). x would now equal 25.

Common Mistakes

>>> def square(n):
...     n * n  # calculates then throws away, returns None
...
>>> x = square(5)
>>> print(x)
None
>>> def square(n):
...     print(n * n)  # calculates and prints, then throws away and returns None
...
>>> x = square(5)
25
>>> print(x)
None

Things to note
• print() and return do not accomplish the same thing. print() will show the value, and then it will be gone.
• A function will return None if it ends without a return statement.
• When you want to print a value from a function, it's best to return the value and print the function call instead, like print(square(5)).

[regal hinge]

!class

[unkempt canyon]

Classes

Classes are used to create objects that have specific behavior.

Every object in python has a class, including lists, dictionaries and even numbers. Using a class to group code and data like this is the foundation of Object Oriented Programming. Classes allow you to expose a simple, consistent interface while hiding the more complicated details. This simplifies the rest of your program and makes it easier to separately maintain and debug each component.

Here is an example class:

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, somedata):
        self.my_attrib = somedata

    def show(self):
        print(self.my_attrib)

To use a class, you need to instantiate it. The following creates a new object named bar, with Foo as its class.

bar = Foo('data')
bar.show()

We can access any of Foo's methods via bar.my_method(), and access any of bars data via bar.my_attribute.

hey so I'm trying to make some sort of GPT bot and this is what happens when it takes too long to respond

How could I fix this?

I'm using the openai API

@bot.slash_command(name="imagine", description="Give you a response with the prompt")
async def imagine(interaction: discord.Interaction, prompt: str):

    openai.api_key = ""

    response = openai.Image.create(
        prompt="a white siamese cat",
        n=1,
        size="1024x1024"
        )
    image_url = response['data'][0]['url']


    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="Here you go!",
        description=f"{image_url}",
        timestamp=datetime.datetime.now(),
    )
    embed.set_footer(text=f"By {interaction.user.name}#{interaction.user.discriminator}", icon_url=interaction.user.avatar.url)

    try:
        await interaction.send(embed=embed)
    except:
        openai.APIError
        
        ```

[austere vale]

where can i hire someone to help me code a discord bot?

[graceful ermine]

I could code a bot

[smoky sinew]

you aren't deferring the response

it takes a long time to send a request to openai and get a result back

[graceful ermine]

Okay

[smoky sinew]

also, that's not how try/except works, it's:

try:
    # code that runs
except openai.APIError:
    # code that runs if there was an api error

there's also else/finally

[graceful ermine]

okay!

@smoky sinew so it would be py await defer(ai_message)

[naive briar]

No, what lib is that

[graceful ermine]

Nextcord.py

oh shit nvm

[steel mango]

I'm trying to make a geoguessr bot using the geoguessr api but the bot isn't receiving a challengeid

This is what I've done

[graceful ermine]

so wait, how do I defer then?

        await interaction.defer(embed=embed, thinking=True)

I don't how to defer stuff

I'm currently reading the docs of discord.py

[ionic garden]

how do i perform input validation in a modal?

[naive briar]

You have to check after the user submitted

[graceful ermine]

how do I defer?

its not a function?

do I need to import something

[ionic garden]

what do i do to raise an error and say "hey you messed up"

[naive briar]

Wdym

[ionic garden]

that was meant for me i think
for you i think yeah interaction.defer is the correct function

[naive briar]

!e like this?

def func():
    raise Exception("owo")

func()

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
003 |   File "<string>", line 2, in func
004 | Exception: owo

[graceful ermine]

so like this?

await interaction.defer(embed=embed)```

[naive briar]

No

[graceful ermine]

your saying this is correct?

[ionic garden]

shouldn't discord have something special for that?

[naive briar]

defer don't take embed arg

[ionic garden]

just do this:

await interaction.defer()
```and u good

[graceful ermine]

so what does it take?

[naive briar]

If the command callback raises/causes an error, it will call the error handler

[ionic garden]

including for modal submissions

[graceful ermine]

it still does not work @ionic garden

await interaction.defer(AI_Message, thinking = True)```

[ionic garden]

bro just call it w/ no arguments

[graceful ermine]

either way it does not work

[ionic garden]

well you just called it with arguments, so...

[naive briar]

You need to call it before doing any heavy operation

And with no arguments

[smoky sinew]

the thing on the docs is just a function signature, it's part of interaction.response so you need to do it on a response object

[graceful ermine]

So I don't understand, do I put py interaction.defer()

before any code?

[slate swan]

Can someon ehelp me i keep getting “cannot reshape array of size 32 into shape 5, 5

[smoky sinew]

that doesn't exist, do interaction.response.defer

[naive briar]

Why are you trying to reshape it to that anyway

[slate swan]

JUST HOW TO FIX IT

[naive briar]

And this doesn't seem like discord bots things

[slate swan]

it is

[naive briar]

You simply can't

[slate swan]

bruh so what do i do

[naive briar]

Because NumPy can't

[slate swan]

than what should i do

what do i do

[naive briar]

I don't know what to tell you at this point

[slate swan]

bruh

[graceful ermine]

it won't work

    response = openai.Completion.create(
        model="text-davinci-003",

    try:
        await interaction.response.defer(AI_Message, Thinking=False)
    except:
        openai.APIError```

[naive briar]

I just said call it before doing any heavy operation

And with no arguments

Then respond to the interaction later

[graceful ermine]

what do you mean by "call it before doing any heavy operation"

[naive briar]

Call it at the top of the function

[ionic garden]

defer first, then do all your code

[naive briar]

Before anything else

[ionic garden]

also why are you still calling it w/ arguments

[graceful ermine]

now it kinda works

[ionic garden]

wait i'm talking about modals here
rn when i raise an error in on_submit it just says "something went wrong"

[graceful ermine]

it's been five min is this a bad thing?

my bot is doing this?

for the past 3 min

[naive briar]

Send it

[ionic garden]

seems like a problem w/ your ai more than a problem w/ discord

[naive briar]

Did you handle the error and respond to the interaction

[naive briar]

You still haven't responded to it

[ionic garden]

was kinda expecting a kinda shaky red box + the actual error message @ the top

The forward button works but the backwards disabled

[smoky sinew]

interesting way to create a paginator

[slate swan]

lol

so i did it wrong

[smoky sinew]

no

[slate swan]

oh

[smoky sinew]

i meant the create_embed function

i don't know anything about nextcord though

[slate swan]

oh

like its not rlly dif from dpy i think

[smoky sinew]

is backwards always disabled?

[hushed galleon]

afaik the fundamentals of views are basically still the same

[slate swan]

yes

[hushed galleon]

imo you should combine the button checks into one method and then call it in both buttons

[smoky sinew]

yeah i did that in my paginator

[slate swan]

oh

[smoky sinew]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/apiwojolam

this is the one i wrote by the way

[hushed galleon]

you can just reference the method directly, d.py replaces it with the actual button instance at runtime

e.g. ```py
self.next.disabled = index == 0

[smoky sinew]

did not know that

i edited it

[hushed galleon]

@slate swan oh i didnt clarify this, the issue in your code is that you're only updating the button that got clicked, i.e. clicking next doesnt update the prev button and vice versa, hence why im suggesting you update both buttons at the same time, using just one method (the tip above about referencing the button method would be helpful for this)

[smoky sinew]

async def start(self, ctx: commands.Context, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
    kwargs["embed"] = self.embeds[self.index]
    kwargs["view"] = self.paginated_view
    await ctx.send(*args, **kwargs)
    self.paginated_view.set_index(self.index)

async def start_with_interaction(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
    kwargs["embed"] = self.embeds[self.index]
    kwargs["view"] = self.paginated_view
    await interaction.response.send_message(*args, **kwargs)
    self.paginated_view.set_index(self.index)

any better way to do this

i should just let the user handle the sending of the message probably

[slate swan]

thank you!

didnt notice, thankss

[hushed galleon]

personally i use one method that accepts either a messageable or an interaction
https://github.com/thegamecracks/thegamebot/blob/v2/bot/utils/paging.py#L246-L253

[unkempt canyon]

bot/utils/paging.py lines 246 to 253

async def start(self, channel: discord.abc.Messageable | discord.Interaction, ephemeral=True):
    await self.show_page(self.current_source.current_index)
    if isinstance(channel, discord.Interaction):
        kwargs = self._get_message_kwargs(initial_response=True)
        await channel.response.send_message(ephemeral=ephemeral, **kwargs)
        self.message = await channel.original_response()
    else:
        self.message = await channel.send(**self._get_message_kwargs())```

[smoky sinew]

oh i see

is discord.abc.Messageable | discord.Interaction equivalent to Union[Messageable, Interaction]?

what is the difference

[hushed galleon]

the pipe operator was introduced in 3.10 as an equivalent to Union
(or rather, 3.10 added support for using the pipe operator to declare union types)

[smoky sinew]

i see

it would also be nice to let users edit an existing message with a paginated view

maybe i'll create a method like get_starting_embed and get_view

[shy abyss]

where would I start with creating a dicsord bot?

also I'm not super active on this server so if anyone has an answer please ping me

[smoky sinew]

discord.py has some nice documentation

[shy abyss]

thanks

ill make sure to check it out

[smoky sinew]

make sure to follow the slash commands or hybrid command examples, some of the examples on the documentation are outdated

[quick gust]

Yup that's what I was confused about, thanks!

[tired notch]

im trying to create a soldier game and to attack people i want them to be able to send multiple types and amounts of soldiers for example 100 riflemen 10 snipers 5 bombers. whats the best way to get that in one command?

[smoky sinew]

with slash commands or message commands?

[tired notch]

slash

[fair magnet]

how can i make it that a dc bot responds in a dm to the command

[smoky sinew]

i guess make a bunch of arguments, for message commands i would use FlagConverter

e.g. !attack --riflemen=100

[smoky sinew]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=optiontype#discord.AppCommandOptionType
these are the only option types you can have

[smoky sinew]

# slash commands
@bot.tree.command()
async def dm(interaction):
    await interaction.user.send("hello")
    await interaction.response.send_message("Done!", ephemeral = True)

# message commands
@bot.command()
async def dm(ctx):
    await ctx.author.send("hello")

[tired notch]

is this the same as app_commands.choices?

[smoky sinew]

choice is a type of argument, which i'm pretty sure is actually a string option type with an autocomplete function

[tired notch]

so does it just let you specify what type of parameter a user puts into a slash?

[smoky sinew]

yeah

those are all of the parameter types supported by the discord api

i would just have a bunch of optional arguments for each possible soldier type

that default to 0

[tired notch]

amount:

[smoky sinew]

like Riflemen: 0

[tired notch]

amount: discord.AppCommandOptionType.integer
?

[smoky sinew]

you can just do riflemen: int = 0 i think

[tired notch]

whats appcommadoptiontype for

[smoky sinew]

that's just what discord.py uses to represent the option type

sorry i'm not very good at explaining

[tired notch]

so they both work?

int and discord.appcommandoptiontype.integer?

[smoky sinew]

i haven't tested the second one

[slate swan]

Hey, I've just moved my bot out of a testing server into the real server but one of it's features isn't working. It was working completely fine before so idk y it isn't now, when I was testing the bot I used a separate bot but then combined it with another bot when it was done so maybe it could be something with that. The issue is that on_member_update isn't working.

Nothing prints when I give myself the 'Client' role

@client.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    print("1")
    if discord.utils.get(after.roles, name='Client') and not discord.utils.get(before.roles, name='Client'):
        print("2")
        category = discord.utils.get(after.guild.categories, name='Reviews')
        print("3")
        channel = await category.create_text_channel(f"review-{after.name}")
        print("4")
        await channel.set_permissions(after, view_channel=True, send_messages=False)
        print("5")

[smoky sinew]

do you have the members intent enabled? @slate swan

[slate swan]

No

thats the issue

thanks

How do I sync my slash commands?

line 26, in load
await bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'load_extension'

i dont really know why.
i am using 2.1.0

code:```py
from discord import Intents
from discord.app_commands import commands
from dotenv import load_dotenv

intents = Intents.default()

bot = discord.Client(
intents=intents,
debug_guilds=[1069881952460603462] # hier server id einfügen
)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"{bot.user} ist online")

async def load():
for filename in os.listdir("cogs"):
if filename.endswith(".py"):
await bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

async def main():
await load()
await bot.start("my token ")
asyncio.run(main())

extensions are part of the commands extension, so you'll need to use discord.ext.commands.Bot

[slate swan]

so i needto import that

[vocal snow]

I'd recommend reading the guide: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html
