smoky sinew
what are you trying to do?
left dew
if a channl is called chat in a specifc category them after an hour it gets deleted and remade
left dew
ooohh tyy
smoky sinew
it will return the chat channel
gusty flax
`discord.utils.get(category.channels, name="「🥥」・chat")`
^ but getting channel with id is much safer
left dew
i cant
smoky sinew
because the channel is deleted and re-created
gusty flax
Hmmm
gusty flax
that worked
Instead, I think one way that is safer, unless any of ur staff edits the spacing of the channel, is to iterate through all channels and check to see if the name u give us the same as the category name. But without the emoji. That way, if u edit emoji but u keep the channel called chat, u will still be able to retrieve the channel.
left dew
ohh
gusty flax
I can write you a code example if u need
left dew
i think it should be alr for now, if not ill let u know

just use whatever you're fine with
i personally would recommend Disnake or discord.py

That isn’t specifically a bot question, but more for a general python question. U may get more help in gen or help channel.
But seems that u don’t have an empty list
smoky sinew
everybody asks for non-discord bot stuff all the time in here
the list is returned it's just empty
gusty flax
everybody asks for non-discord bot stuff all the time in here
I know. Which is why I said they may get better help in general or text channel.
gusty flax
the list is returned it's just empty
Is u try accessing an element from a list, u will get that error
smoky sinew
yes, but you said a list isn't being returned which is not true

Could any of you help me figure out why my /viewcard command isn't working? The bot says that the card is not recognized. Here's the relevant code: https://pastebin.com/u0Waa9qG

Here's the /openpack command for reference on how they are added to the db:

if so how
flint heart
gusty flax
can you use prefix and slash commands in 1 bot
Yes u can!
For my code, I separate it into cogs.
I have cogs that are dedicated to slash commands and cogs that are dedicated to prefix commands
The difference is ```py
@app_commands.command()
vs
@bot.command()```
slate swan

message = fr[str(member.guild.id)]["message"]
channel = fr[str(member.guild.id)]["channel"]
if "{user.mention}" in message:
message.replace("{user.mention}", member.mention)
await channel.send(str(message))```and what is channel
slate swan
and what is channel
what do you mean by channel? the channel its trying to send to?
or?
gusty flax
what do you mean by channel? the channel its trying to send to?
ur channel variable

slate swan
ur channel variable
the channel variable is getting the channel id from a json file it saved to to get the channel ID and send it but its not working
gusty flax

Well, u cant send an id, its returning a string object. U need to use the client to get the channel from the id.
channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
ah yeah i forgot about that
smoky sinew
get_channel isn't a coroutine

frr = int(channel)
channelf = await self.bot.get_channel(frr)

So what things should I learn to make learning a discord bot easier?
gusty flax
it would be in keyauth.py file right
Yes. U return success if it is successful or whatever the other option is. But I do not suggest that method, instead, I would return a boolean
gusty flax
So what things should I learn to make learning a discord bot easier?
Learning OOP, getting a general idea of how the event loop and coroutines work, and type hinting.
gusty flax
no type hinting is not really necessary
It is for converters/transformers.
slate swan
Yes. U return success if it is successful or whatever the other option is. But I...
i was thinking of a boolean however when theres an error
else:
print(json["message"])``` it returns the error message e.g "username already used" or "key not found"Ah ok then
smoky sinew
i wouldn't call converters type hinting
gusty flax
i wouldn't call converters type hinting
smoky sinew
nevermind
gusty flax
No, the hint is what uses the converter.
If u hint, Optional, it will be optional in discord.
So yes, type hinting is required.
smoky sinew
lol
slate swan
Yes. U return success if it is successful or whatever the other option is. But I...

because you're using response while overwriting it

Its pointless. Just add another var.

i'm also 14

because you're using response while overwriting it
Still, it should be in a separate variable.
No reason to use the same name.

thats great man how long have u been coding for?
smoky sinew
there are more things to nitpick than just that
smoky sinew
thats great man how long have u been coding for?
about 6 years
slate swan
damn
gusty flax
thats great man how long have u been coding for?
Delete both response lines, and do this ```py
response = encryption.decrypt(self.__do_request(post_data), self.enckey, init_iv)
In practice, it's is less prefferd to use to one variable name like that. Assigning two varaibles makes it more modular. But since that is the only use, it is better to just pass that directly into the function.
Unless u wanna make a temp.
smoky sinew
at least split it up into multiple lines
response = encryption.decrypt(
self.__do_request(post_data),
self.enckey, init_iv
)
temp = self.__do_request(post_data)
response = encryption.decrypt(temp, self.enckey, init_iv)```temp is not a very descriptive variable name either
gusty flax
```py
response = encryption.decrypt(
self.__do_request(post_data),
self....
That is readability purposes. Doesn't have any general purpose.
smoky sinew
what is the purpose of not overwriting response though
readability is one of the most important things in python
gusty flax
temp is not a very descriptive variable name either
It is descriptive, because it is saying its a temp variable. There is no point in arguing on the specifics.
smoky sinew
temp variable of what though
gusty flax
what is the purpose of not overwriting response though
Usability. That way U can use that value if u want. If u dont wanan use it, u might as well pass the function in directly.
gusty flax
temp variable of what though
It's common practice

gusty flax
not really
Erm... yes. A lot of people use temp variables.
slate swan
have it return a boolean and just do ```py

im guessing thats saying if its true so I can use an else statement to see if its false
smoky sinew
if you're not using it, there's no point in storing it as a variable and calling it temp does not help other people that are reading the code
gusty flax

💀 thats why my first example was passing in the function directly.
This argument is pointless.
Less move on.

I didnt I said its a good alternative.
Ur response after I sent the message was that, it isn't a good name.

it should send the else statement on the second command as the username and key have already been used
wait I think I know why I didnt return false
gusty flax
it should send the else statement on the second command as the username and key ...
Did u have register return false?
slate swan
nope just fixed
gusty flax
Perfect!
gusty flax
i see this in CMD aswell
U aren't awaiting a method.
smoky sinew
nah the issue is from discord.py (probably)
something is async that shouldn't be i guess
gusty flax
something is async that shouldn't be i guess
U sure?
gusty flax
```py
@bot.command()
async def register(ctx, arg1, arg2, arg3):
user = arg1
...
Is register a coroutine?
Actually, it must not be.
smoky sinew
why would it be Command.__call__ if it's with register
gusty flax
Cause the message was getting sent.
gusty flax
why would it be `Command.__call__` if it's with register
True, but a lot of times, errors like those can produce via user errors.
Maybe not this time, but it is good to check.
slate swan
thanks for the help guys i guess ill wait till tmrw for a keyauth admin to assist he knows discord.py aswell and he said he could assist me tmrw I think it would be easier for all of us!
smoky sinew
it is a user error
the error is happening while discord.py is trying to call some coroutine without await
hushed galleon
```py
@bot.command()
async def register(ctx, arg1, arg2, arg3):
user = arg1
...
are you sure you mean to be recursively calling your command and not some other function?
smoky sinew
huh
hushed galleon
if you have a function named register() but also want a command named register, you can use the command(name=) parameter to set that name without shadowing your first function, i.e. py @bot.command(name="register") async def register_command(ctx, user, password, ...): ... or you can rename your other function instead
slate swan

Hi! When a user types in the bot’s dm, this text appear. From there, they can choose if they want to create a ticket or cancel the interaction. Although, we found a glitch that if you send 2 messages, the text will sent twice and then, you will be able to create 2 tickets at once.

What do you want the bot to do when you said "H" in that screenshot?
dense jackal
What do you want the bot to do when you said "H" in that screenshot?
Send me the embed
But only once.
Like it wont send it a second time if I resend another text
sick birch
But in the screenshot, it already sent it once?
dense jackal
But in the screenshot, it already sent it once?
Nope! Did it twice
The embed sent once
sick birch
So when you said "H" it shouldn't have said anything, is that correct?
sick birch
Got it. Just trying to figure out what the intended behaviour was.
How I'd go about doing it is having somewhere where you would store all the created tickets, and if a user tries to create another one, it'd just deny them saying "You already have a ticket open" or something similar
This external source would probably be a database
dense jackal
That’s not it
They can send multiple messages when there’s no opened ticket
And then, spam accept on every embeds and create tons of tickets
And I dont want the embed to send more than once
sick birch
Yes. So the first time they click "accept", it would create an entry in the database for them
Next time they click "accept", your bot would check the database to see if there's already an entry
There is, so the bot just wouldn't do anything
dense jackal
That works
But I still don’t want the embed to send more than once anyways
Like this
sick birch
That's going to be a quite a bit more difficult
dense jackal
Yeah but that’s really important
sick birch
Is there something wrong with just sending a message saying the user already has a ticket open?
Why is it imperative that that the embed doesn't show at all?
dense jackal
Yes, the embed is big and its aesthetically not beautiful lol
sick birch
You could just set a timeout on it
dense jackal
Wdym
sick birch
Once the view times out (say 30 seconds), the embed is deleted along with the view
sick birch
You could do that
You could also just delete the embed entirely
Up to you
sick birch
You'd just remove the view by passing view=None into the edit method
dense jackal
You'd just remove the view by passing `view=None` into the edit method
What would that do
sick birch
Removes the view without touching anything else
dense jackal
What is view
sick birch
A "view" is conceptually a container that holds all of the components in a message - I believe that's only buttons and select menu as of now
Each message can have at most 1 view
sick birch
Right.
The exact time-out behaviour is up to you
Either way you'd use the on_timeout method of discord.ui.View
dense jackal
alright
Any website to help me? Im new at coding lol
Or maybe you could help me out
That’s up to you
sick birch
All of this is quite complex, I'd say 🤔
These examples may be able to help you out: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views
sick birch
There's also the Interactions API documentation: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html
dense jackal
Is it something like this @sick birch ?
async def ask(ctx: commands.Context):
"""Asks the user a question to confirm something."""
# We create the view and assign it to a variable so we can wait for it later.
view = Confirm()
await ctx.send('Do you want to continue?', view=view)
# Wait for the View to stop listening for input...
await view.wait()
if view.value is None:
print('Timed out...')
elif view.value:
print('Confirmed...')
else:
print('Cancelled...')```This will create a basic confirmation view sure but not really what you want
Do you have an underlying database?

gusty flax
I’m on mobile so give me a sec
dense jackal
Alright
dense jackal
Idk, am I supposed to send it somewhere
gusty flax
Idk, am I supposed to send it somewhere
That’s how the view shows up. U send it.
dense jackal
Mhm then idk where I send it, a friend did this code lol mmmhhh
gusty flax
Mhm then idk where I send it, a friend did this code lol mmmhhh
I can’t do control f rn. Check where u instantiate TicketButtobs
dense jackal
The class TicketButtons thing?
dense jackal
Damn alright lemme try to find
What should I try looking for?
A certain keyword?
Found it I tuink
ticketbuttons = TicketButtons()
ticketbuttons.author_id = ctx.author.id
ticketbuttons.author_name = ctx.author.name
ticketbuttons.avatar = ctx.author.avatar.url
ticketbuttons.content = ctx.content
confirm_message = await ctx.reply(embed=embed, view=ticketbuttons)
# This is so the confirm embed is deleted. Don't want errors in our database
ticketbuttons.message = confirm_message```@gusty flax
naive briar
You can just take those as arguments
dense jackal
So that’s not it?
slate swan
can someone help me with datetime? im working on adding a 'deleted amount of seconds to a snipe command idk how to count the time since the time stored in the db'
vital glacier
In the init of the view, do ```py
super().__init__(timeout=None)```
Do i have to add something else anywhere else? like at the buttons ui or?
smoky sinew
what library are you using @slate swan ?
vital glacier
will that just be enough
slate swan
what library are you using <@456226577798135808> ?

Yes that’s where. Here u wanna append to the list.
gusty flax

dense jackal
Yes that’s where. Here u wanna append to the list.
What do you mean
gusty flax
Do i have to add something else anywhere else? like at the buttons ui or?
It encompasses the whole view.
vital glacier
It encompasses the whole view.
ok
dense jackal
What do you mean
Talk in beginner terms
vital glacier
so i dont need to add timeout=... anywhere else in my code, but just there?
gusty flax
so i dont need to add timeout=... anywhere else in my code, but just there?
Per view
vital glacier
huh
slate swan
for your database
oh i use mongodb with the motor library
vital glacier
now im confused
smoky sinew
oh i use mongodb with the motor library
what's your code? are you passing a datetime object
gusty flax
Talk in beginner terms
Make a list for now, for the ppl who are in the process. So where u send the view, u want to know that user is storing it. So u add to a list and in that list will be a list of ppl in the ticket or whatever. That means u can’t do it if u are already in the process.
gusty flax
now im confused
For every view, if u never want it to timeout, u gotta put that in each init.
vital glacier
ooh

How do I do that?

you should just write the datetime object to the database, don't bother with strptime
motor will convert it automatically

Just set it as timestamp at this point

@dense jackal are you making the modmail bot?
dense jackal
<@764874469474697236> are you making the modmail bot?
Yes!
smoky sinew
wow
dense jackal
I only have 2-3 more things and I’m done with it
Alot of people helped me tbh, I needed a quick made modmail bot. I’ll learn coding more deeply later
slate swan
yeah just remove str
ok it posted this to the db. do you know how i could get how many seconds since the current time? i want to add a 'deleted 5 seconds ago' or however many seconds to the bottom of my snipe command
gusty flax
Not rlly tbh
I think reviewing the basics of python would be beneficial before finishing it. A list/array is a required data type for any type of programming.
dense jackal
I think reviewing the basics of python would be beneficial before finishing it. ...
Cant we just get it done in like 10 mins
gusty flax
Though a list is:
my list = []
dense jackal
That’s like one of the last things I need
gusty flax
Do you know what a list is?
dense jackal
Like store multiple stuff
gusty flax
That’s like one of the last things I need
Make a var called is_applied in the init of ur class.
dense jackal
In one variable
gusty flax
It will be a list
I resell think u shld just go over basics first. A list is one of the first things u learn

Rushing it without knowing what u are doing will cause more problems.

Or get Unix TS themselves

Rushing it without knowing what u are doing will cause more problems.
Can you just resume what I need to do and I’ll try to understand with this?
Cause I dont want to have to ask again here any sooner
For the same thing again
gusty flax

It's hard for me to describe what you need. Do you have your code, where you instantiate the view, within a class?
dense jackal

That’s what I sent earlier
ticketbuttons = TicketButtons()
ticketbuttons.author_id = ctx.author.id
ticketbuttons.author_name = ctx.author.name
ticketbuttons.avatar = ctx.author.avatar.url
ticketbuttons.content = ctx.content
confirm_message = await ctx.reply(embed=embed, view=ticketbuttons)
# This is so the confirm embed is deleted. Don't want errors in our database
ticketbuttons.message = confirm_message```Nah not that. I just checked ur script. It isn't in a class.
dense jackal
Then idk
gusty flax
So at the top of ur file, underneath py bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="=", intents=discord.Intents.all()) do ticketer_list = []
dense jackal
On the line under?
gusty flax
So before u do ```py
confirm_message = await ctx.reply(embed=embed, view=ticketbuttons)
Hm?
gusty flax
Like this?
dense jackal
So before u do ```py
confirm_message = await ctx.reply(embed=embed, ...
Ticket_list or ticketer_list?
gusty flax
Ticket_list or ticketer_list?
name doesnt matter.
dense jackal
I mean you put ticketer_list earlier so does it have to be the same thing the second time?
gusty flax
I mean you put ticketer_list earlier so does it have to be the same thing the se...
yes its the same thing. i just messed up the names
gusty flax
What now?
Then in the first line of the on_message function, do py if ctx.author.id in ticketer_list: return
But that wont persist even if bot goes down.
That will require a db. But as long as bot is online, this is good.
But pls, check out the basics.
dense jackal
Lmao alright
dense jackal
But that wont persist even if bot goes down.
If the bot goes down the embed wont be sent anyways

They can't do that yet, they need to learn basics.

Check to see if the booster role is assigned to someone.
gusty flax
Wait how
If they press reject, or the modmail ticket is closed, remove them from ticket.
slate swan
Check to see if the booster role is assigned to someone.
so i make a role event, and check to see if the member got assaigned the booster role?
gusty flax
Ofc there are more factors to consider, but this is simplist.
dense jackal
If they press reject, or the modmail ticket is closed, remove them from ticket.
No, if they click on closed, the procedure of opening one is closed
gusty flax
well u determine where u want it to go.
smoky sinew
They can't do that yet, they need to learn basics.
just giving them the code won't help

that seems easy, all your doing is after the close class if they close it, it will go to another class that gets the channel ID and save all the messages that are in the chat, or they could just potentially scrape HTML, but thats against discord's ToS

It bypasses message content intent.

idle surge
Hey, how do you close/delete a dropdown after interacting with that said interaction?
idle surge
How would that be formatted at the end of the callback?
smoky sinew
actually just do self.clear_items()
if you're deleting the whole view
@idle surge what does your code look like
idle surge
class Inviter(discord.ui.Select):
def __init__(self):
options=[
RANDOM OPTIONS
]
async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
rant = random.randint(0, 0xffffff)
value=rant
channel = vini.get_channel(1085711629775294516)
userss = len(interaction.user.voice.channel.members)
usersize = await interaction.user.voice.channel.create_invite()
embed = discord.Embed(title=f"Need More People!",colour=value, description=f'To invite others to your voice channel simply go to [#1085711668622921988](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/1085711668622921988/)`. \n \n :point_right: [Click this link to join this parties voice channel.]({usersize}) :point_left: \n \n')
embed.set_author(name=f"{self.values[0]} LFG", icon_url=vini.user.avatar.url)
embed.add_field(name=":loud_sound: Voice Channel",value=interaction.user.voice.channel.name, inline=True)
embed.add_field(name=":map: Game",value=f'{self.values[0]}', inline=True)
embed.add_field(name=":family_mwgb: VC Size",value=f'{userss}/10', inline=True)
embed.set_footer(text=f'Requested by {interaction.user} | {interaction.message.guild.name}', icon_url=interaction.user.avatar.url)
await interaction.response.send_message(f"Your invite has been created at [#1085711629775294516](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/1085711629775294516/)", ephemeral=True, delete_after=3)
await channel.send(embed=embed, view=Close(interaction.user))
what does your view look like though
idle surge
So this is basically grabbing the information for the class but the actual view I want to delete is this:
@discord.ui.button(label="Create Invite", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, emoji="🎮")
async def blurple_button(self, interaction:discord.Interaction, button:discord.ui.Button):
channel = vini.get_channel(1085711668622921988)
embed1 = discord.Embed(colour=0x25F8F8)
embed1.description ='Click the dropdown and choose the game you are wanting to play.'
embed1.set_footer(text = 'PC Gaming')
if not interaction.user.voice:
await interaction.response.send_message(f"Please join a voice channel. {interaction.user.mention}", delete_after = 3, ephemeral=True)
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed1, view=InviterView(), ephemeral=True)
class InviterView(discord.ui.View):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(timeout=None)
self.add_item(Inviter())
i don't know if this will work but maybe do
self.inviter = Inviter()
self.add_item(self.inviter)
...
self.remove_item(self.inviter)
Okay, ill try it. Thanks.
Got this:
AttributeError: 'Inviter' object has no attribute 'remove_item'
idle surge
nah, still doesnt work. Just nothing happens. No error.
