command?

[naive briar]

What else

And did you invite your bot with app commands scope

[radiant bough]

Yes

I did see the /add command from my main file

    @app_commands.command(name="setrole")
    @app_commands.describe(
        role="Pass the role to give after verification here."
    )
    async def setrole(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, role: discord.Role):
        c.execute("INSERT OR REPLACE INTO roless (server_id, role_id) VALUES (?, ?)",
            (interaction.guild.id, role.id))
        conn.commit()

        embed = discord.Embed(title="Role Successfully Set", description=f"I suggest you to make sure that {role.mention} can't access your verify channel once the role is given.", color=0x2B2D31)
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[idle surge]

Im trying to delete a dropdown once interacting with it. Not sure what to do as await interaction.message.delete() doesnt work. Here is my code:

View:

class InviterView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.add_item(Inviter())

Dropdown:

class Inviter(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self):
       options=[
IGNORE THIS
       ]
       super().__init__(placeholder="What game are you playing?", options=options, min_values=1, max_values=1)
    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))

[radiant bough]

I don’t think self.stop() will remove the drop down but will make it so that no one can interact anymore

[idle surge]

So, how would I remove the drop down?

[slate swan]

edit the message and set view to None

[idle surge]

that works, but it doesnt remove the embed with it.

[slate swan]

if you want to remove everything then just delete the message..

[radiant bough]

to delete it after user interacted you can use delete_after=2

[idle surge]

where?

wouldnt that just delete it after 2 seconds

no matter if its interacted or not

[idle surge]

I want it to be automated to where its deleted after the dropdown has been interacted.

[slate swan]

do it in the select's callback then

[idle surge]

I tried "await interaction.message.delete()" it just doesnt work.

get a 404 error

Hello
Does anyone know how to reference a .ui file for custom QListWidget list item ?

[karmic nimbus]

how to make on_message(message) read only from certain channels?

[steady wedge]

how do i make chathpt in minecraft as a discord bot

FROM SCRATCH

[fresh iron]

so if i have to run my bot on docker container, where can i host it, im new to this.

[slate swan]

Check if message.channel.id is the id of channel you want to respond in

[vale wing]

#user-interfaces not discord bots related question

[vale wing]

Oh from scratch? Well you will need like a hundred (or several hundred) nvidia A100's to train the neural network to start with

[slate swan]

Fr

[vale wing]

On VPS

[steady wedge]

i might have commited a troller

[fresh iron]

na im looking for a completely free service as my bot doesnt require much

[steady wedge]

but that's an interesting perspective

[vale wing]

You could actually deploy it to some kubernetes cluster, might be cheaper, but if you have persistent data stored on drive VPS is better. VPS is better generally, it's not much more expensive

[vale wing]

Free tier VPS

Oracle, amazon aws, microsoft azure

Is it possible to have wait_for message event inside a button view which outside a cog
I wonder how can I get self.bot.wait_for

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Interaction.client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.client

property client```
The client that is handling this interaction.

Note that [`AutoShardedClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AutoShardedClient "discord.AutoShardedClient"), [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot"), and [`AutoShardedBot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot "discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot") are all subclasses of client.

[vocal snow]

or, subclass View and take the bot instance in the _init_

[radiant bough]

And use inter.client.wait_for?

[vale wing]

Not quite

Depending on your implementation the callback can be implemented as a method in your class or you can set some attribute of view and get it after view.wait()

[slate swan]

can i use the on_message event for responses ?

[vocal snow]

what do you mean by responses?

[slate swan]

interaction.response.send_message

like if a bot sent a message by an interaction response , will the other bot who has on_message work with it ?

[vocal snow]

if the response is not ephemeral, yes

[valid elbow]

when i use a bot do demo somthing. is that sent to the channel instantly? and what if you need to correct something. how is that done so that the posted ouitput is replaced with the new run?

[slate swan]

okay thanks

Wdym?

[tough cedar]

hi let's say hypothetically i am running my discord bot on another PC. what's the best way to make it auto re-deploy (after syncing up) everytime there is a push to the github? docker? 👁️

[gusty flax]

Well, I would suggest docker for hosting a bot, but not sure how you would do that. I bet @feral timber would know.

Maybe smth with workflows or smth? Idk what they rlly are.

[tough cedar]

well thanks for the ideas anyways

🫡

[feral timber]

[tough cedar]

lmfao

[feral timber]

Docker

You’d need access to your server to tell it to pull the new container though.
Easiest way is probably a single file Flask server with one route that just calls into Docker

[gusty flax]

Whenever there is a docker question, just know ima ping u.

😄

[tough cedar]

I'm not very familiar with docker, do you have any good source where i can learn its basics and what to do to achieve what i'm trying to

[feral timber]

y

[gusty flax]

Ur the only person I know who is good at docker 🤷‍♂️

[feral timber]

I literally suck at Docker

[gusty flax]

Nah. Ur better than nedbat, so u are good 🙂

[feral timber]

Um... I'm actually not sure
I can get you the Docker tutorial, but I don't know of anything Discord bot specific for Docker

[tough cedar]

okay, that'd be great

thank you :D

[gusty flax]

Wait then who was the dude who was rlly good at docker. I was like 96.3% sure it was you.

[feral timber]

Uh... now I can't find what I was looking for -- This looks even more thorough though: https://docker-curriculum.com/

[feral timber]

I'm telling Ned!!

[tough cedar]

[hushed galleon]

did you mean the getting started page?
https://docs.docker.com/get-started/
ive used the docker documentation as my starting point and found it fairly difficult to piece it together since the information is scattered everywhere on their website, but i did eventually get a basic understanding of docker and docker-compose

[feral timber]

THERE WE GO

Code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/execagovaf
Issue: The paginator is not suceeding

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean it's not succeeding

[unkempt mauve]

the paginator is not sent

[smoky sinew]

probably because you are doing followup.send with the paginator

[unkempt mauve]

whats the solution

[smoky sinew]

only send one of them

[unkempt mauve]

huh

[smoky sinew]

remove the followup.send

what is dispie

[unkempt mauve]

a discord.py library

that is built for pagination

[slate swan]

make your own paginator so you actually get to know whats happening in the code, the lib's code doesnt look too perfect

[smoky sinew]

it committed pycache to git bruh

[slate swan]

the documentation doesn't follow a fixed style too, and the typing isn't alright either

[shut briar]

Is there a way to make a discord bot that has two way communication with an external program? I made a tampermonkey program that sends messages to a discord channel if you type in a message box that gets appended to every website you to to, essentially works the same as a keylogger (but not malicious at all it’s a message box that they click send to send the keystrokes when they want so it’s a message communication system)

But this sends it through a webhook which cannot read messages and can only send them. So I was wondering how to make it so that I can send a message in that server and then my message will appear on my friends screen by sending my message content from the discord channel to his computer but without him having discord open.

Essentially I’m asking how to make something like a two way webhook communication

[unkempt mauve]

the issue is with the defer

its hard to deal with this without followup.send

[shrewd apex]

!pypi reactionmenu

[unkempt canyon]

reactionmenu v3.1.3

A library to create a discord.py 2.0+ paginator. Supports pagination with buttons, reactions, and category selection using selects.

[unkempt mauve]

I said the issue is with the defer

async def cog_command_error(self, ctx, error):

        embed.description = '``py\n%s\n``' % traceback.format_exc()
        embed.timestamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
        await self.bot.send(embed=embed)

Error is that it doesnt send this embed...

In terminal it logs the error but that too is not in this format or any format

[slate swan]

atleast send the error for an reference

[slate swan]

there's nothing like self.bot.send .... it would be ctx.send

[shell wing]

i did ctx.send and it still doesnt send

[slate swan]

whats the error

!d traceback.format_exc takes an argument

wait it doesn't

[slate swan]

did you add the @Cog.listener decorator

[shell wing]

When i do this :

Running background task...
    raise TypeError(no_bot_cog.format(base, elem))
TypeError: Commands or listeners must not start with cog_ or bot_ (in method mod.cog_command_error)

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

[smoky sinew]

just make a discord bot with websockets

there is a good async websocket library

[shut briar]

Is there an article on that

[smoky sinew]

https://websockets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[shut briar]

I know nothing about websockets lol

[naive umbra]

you could use websockets, but there is something called message brokers..

which establishes two way communications via messages, perfect for what you want, look into rabbitmq, not websockets

[smoky sinew]

it's just a two-way connection

[shut briar]

Oh ok but the program I’m sending it to isn’t hosted anywhere

It’s not a website

[smoky sinew]

anything can open websockets

as long as it has an ip address

[shut briar]

It’s javacript code that gets auto injected to website consoles upon load

So that’ll work?

[smoky sinew]

if the tampermonkey script has network access i assume it will be sending it from the host's computer

so yes

and the discord bot will obviously be hosted on a vps or another computer

[shut briar]

Yea

It’s so that me and my friend can communicate in school cause it’s a school chromebook

[smoky sinew]

makes sense

[shut briar]

Welp looks like I have a lot to read up on about websockets

[naive umbra]

web sockets will be a hell to manage for this, please look into message queues/brokers

[smoky sinew]

why so

i've built a two-way websocket chat in only 50 lines before

it's not anything harder than rabbitmq

[naive umbra]

that's completely irrelevant

web sockets and message queues work at different layers

[smoky sinew]

it's the same principle

[naive umbra]

no, its not

[shut briar]

When I search up websockets tutorial on YouTube tho all the videos are like 3 hours long

[smoky sinew]

just look at the websocket python docs

for javascript look at mdn

[shut briar]

Is it hard for someone to learn who has no knowledge on http connections

Besides webhooks

[naive umbra]

a message queue is like an interface that different clients and backends sends messages to regardless without having to know who the receiver is, that way you can establish a two way communication between multiple clients fairly easy, with web sockets you would be having to write all the handlers and listeners and you'd also need to know who the receivers are

[smoky sinew]

the receiver is simply a discord bot, it can still manage multiple clients

[naive umbra]

no, the receivers are the clients in the browsers

[shut briar]

Mb my friend took my phone and sent u a friend request

[naive umbra]

and the bot

[smoky sinew]

the discord bot is receiving messages from the browser clients

[naive umbra]

and vice versa, hence two way communication.

[smoky sinew]

yeah

[naive umbra]

although doable with web sockets, message queues will remove a ton of headache

[shut briar]

The receiver is supposed to be my friends computer, no?

[naive umbra]

you simply spin up a rmq instance on the server the bot runs on, and all clients simply consume the messages from the rmq, quite that simple

[shut briar]

I thought Tampermonkeys supposed to fetch it somehow

[smoky sinew]

i can't imagine it would be any easier

[naive umbra]

yeah, this is event driven, e.g a message is sent and the bot or the browser client picks it up, this is where message queues comes in

[naive umbra]

you're re-inventing the wheel of a message broker if you go down the route with bare web sockets

this is what a message broker does for you

[smoky sinew]

what is even the benefit here

[naive umbra]

that you don't have to rewrite your own message broker with bare web sockets

[smoky sinew]

why would i

[naive umbra]

@shut briar https://fenga.medium.com/an-asynchronous-rabbitmq-client-in-python-274a310858a1

[naive umbra]

that's literally what you're suggesting them

here, even a simpler yt video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbPUnANkh0o @shut briar

[smoky sinew]

just send the author name and message content from the browser to the bot

the bot will re-send it as a webhook

and take in messages to send back

[naive umbra]

you're only thinking of the contents being sent, and not how it's handled and by whom its handled

that's literally what message brokers are for

What is a message broker? A message broker is software that enables applications, systems, and services to communicate with each other and exchange information. The message broker does this by translating messages between formal messaging protocols.

it generally uses web sockets under the hood

[slate swan]

wait yeah it's a method you dont need that,
if you use ctx.send does it not send the error message at all?

[smoky sinew]

that can describe every transfer protocol in existence

"a software that enables applications to communicate with each other"

it's the same idea

[naive umbra]

A message broker is an architectural pattern for message validation, transformation, and routing. It mediates communication among applications[vague], minimizing the mutual awareness that applications should have of each other in order to be able to exchange messages, effectively implementing decoupling.[4]

[naive umbra]

well with that said, everyone would be driving the same car regardless if they're a racer or a taxi

[slate swan]

a websocket with proper auth would be more than enough for the purpose, using rabbitmq seems a bit excessive

[shut briar]

whats faster / easier / more efficient / easier to learn for a beginner

[naive umbra]

i honestly disagree

but sure, web sockets works as i said earlier

you just get to deal with.. well... web sockets..

[slate swan]

rabbitmq wraps websockets internally websockets are faster but it also depends on your implementation

[smoky sinew]

that's what im saying

it's nothing more than a chat with a username and message

[regal cove]

Why do my buttons stop working after around 15 minutes?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.View Views have timeouts, they will stop working if you don't pass the timeout as None

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

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

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

New in version 2.0.

[regal cove]

would something like this work?

class BuyTicketButton(discord.ui.Button, timeout = None):

[slate swan]

you need to pass it to View, not the Button

[shut briar]

is there a better way to communicate between two different computers using tampermonkey, or is using a discord bot the way to go

[hushed galleon]

worth pointing out that no matter what you choose, both solutions require a webserver that your tampermonkey script and discord bot can use to share messages, and that raises the complexity much more than having a webhook provided by discord's servers

[regal cove]

so would something like this work?

view = discord.ui.View(*, timeout = None)

[slate swan]

remove that *

you don't need the *,, it's used only in function signatures

[smoky sinew]

the websocket server can be hosted alongside the bot

[hushed galleon]

still means you're opening it to the web

[regal cove]

alright thank you i will go and test it now

[hushed galleon]

if you also want your view to work after a restart, you'll need Client.add_view() to add the view during startup
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[shut briar]

oh so u cant just communicate directly between two computers without having a website??

or can it communicate directly through tampermonkey somehow..

[smoky sinew]

website and websocket servers are unrelated

[shut briar]

oh so tampermonkey can do it all?

[smoky sinew]

import asyncio
import websockets

async def echo(websocket):
    async for message in websocket:
        await websocket.send(message)

async def main():
    async with websockets.serve(echo, "localhost", 8765):
        await asyncio.Future()  # run forever

asyncio.run(main())

here is the simplest websocket server

[smoky sinew]

tampermonkey is not the server, the computer running your discord bot is

[slate swan]

what's tampermonkey?

[smoky sinew]

a user script thing

[shut briar]

injects javascript code into websites as soon as you load it up

userscripts

[slate swan]

wow that sounds useful, but you dont actually need it here

[shut briar]

instead of opening console and typing code up, auto inject

[smoky sinew]

you could just give your friend an .html file to open

and that html file will run javascript that will communicate with your websocket server

[shut briar]

i dont have a server idk how that works

[smoky sinew]

the websockets library handles the server part for you

you simply have to run it with your computer

[shut briar]

u can open it on a chromebook?

[smoky sinew]

no, the chromebook is the client

[shut briar]

i mean .html

[smoky sinew]

yeah

[slate swan]

any browser~

[smoky sinew]

any browser can open html files

[shut briar]

ok alr

oh its like a website

but not searchable

[smoky sinew]

why not

[shut briar]

sorry if im naive but im tryna learn everyone starts somewhere yk

[smoky sinew]

an html file is a website

web servers just happen to serve them

[hushed galleon]

you can, but the issue is maintaining a connection to the other person, which gets into peer-to-peer concepts that's out of my knowledge; when you have a server with a commonly-known IP address / URL, its easy for everyone to connect there, and thats basically what discord is

[smoky sinew]

and also a server can handle multiple clients at once

without having to discover them yourself

[regal cove]

So i add that in the on_ready function? How do i specify Which button? Or do i just add that and it Will always make every single button usable again?

[hushed galleon]

setup_hook like the example shows is fine, and it applies to every button contained within the view you give it

[vital glacier]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        ctx = await self.bot.get_context(message)
        if message.author.bot: return
        data = await self.bot.db.fetch('SELECT * FROM afk WHERE author = $1', message.author.id)
        if data:
            timestamp = data[0][2]
            time = humanize.precisedelta(timestamp - discord.utils.utcnow().timestamp(), format='%0.f')
            await self.bot.db.execute('DELETE FROM afk WHERE author = $1', message.author.id)
            await ctx.success(f'Welcome back, you were away for **{time}**')
        if message.mentions:
            for mention in message.mentions:
                data = await self.bot.db.fetch('SELECT * FROM afk WHERE author = $1', mention.id)
                if data and mention.id != message.author.id:
                    timestamp = data[0][2]
                    time = humanize.precisedelta(timestamp - discord.utils.utcnow().timestamp(), format='%0.f')
                    await ctx.success(f'**{mention}** is currently **AFK**: {data[0][1]} - {time} ago')

For some reason my afk event isn't working anymore (ever since i switched to a different vps)
This is what it puts out when i do ,afk and then type or get mentioned.

No traceback

[smoky sinew]

is it the time that's wrong?

[vital glacier]

yeah

[smoky sinew]

are you sure you don't have any duplicate rows?

[vital glacier]

it's supposed to be liek this

yeah im sure because it always worked until today when i switched to a new vps

and all of a sudden it broke

[slate swan]

what VPS are you using

[vital glacier]

One my friend is providing me

[dull terrace]

almost at 7000 lines of code for my bot

[vital glacier]

He has a vps providing service lol

[dull terrace]

anyone have ideas for general server features or pvp minigames

[vital glacier]

but this shouldn't be a problem since it's just like any other vps

The vps is running on ubuntu 20.04

[sick birch]

How's your infrastructure look like?

At a certain size for my projects I focus on setting up robust infrastructure, then continue making more features

[dull terrace]

right now the bot isnt getting as many servers as i'd like and it was just essentially one in depth game before

and a pretty anti-social game which probably doesn't encourage server owners to keep it

also, idk what you mean by infrastructure, organization or efficiency?

[sick birch]

All of that, continous integration, deployment pipelines

That sort of thing

And a robust codebase, too.

I find that many times people get really carried away by just adding new commands and features but never really stop to think about the "behind the scenes" stuff

It's almost like building a really beautiful frontend website, but have a crappy backend API to run the whole thing

[smoky sinew]

at the same time doing that prematurely can also get you stuck without making any actual features

[dull terrace]

it's hard to imagine even with my crappy coding that will become much of an issue

[sick birch]

Right. That's why I mentioned "at a certain size"
Some people like to do all of this at the start, but if you're not one of those people you would just wait until you project crosses the certain threshold and then start worrying about it

[dull terrace]

by the time my bot would use enough resources for that to become an issue i would have patreons supporting my ability to get better aws hardware

[sick birch]

Just food for though, really. You don't have to

[dull terrace]

or cloud whatever

i try to think about it but ultimately it seems better to focus on performance as that issue comes up

[slate swan]

This is a realisation I came to myself quite recently. I've been trying to do a better job of setting up a nice codebase for myself to work off of.
I am currently working on a bot that's at a few hundred lines of code so far and only 3 commands

[sick birch]

I personally find that to be the hard part :P

[smoky sinew]

my new bot only has a tag system and it's probably around 700 lines

[sick birch]

You can always add new features or commands to your bot - that isn't really all that difficult nor important

[cloud dawn]

Having a bot with 1000+ lines for just /ping is pretty normal

[dull terrace]

It is important if you're middling under 1k servers tho

[smoky sinew]

nvm it's 807

[dull terrace]

Or at least improving features if it's possible

[sick birch]

I would argue good code organization and infrastructure is always important

[slate swan]

How do you define "good"?

Robust, efficient, readable?

[dense jackal]

How can I remove a user from a list I created

[slate swan]

Or all of the above

[dull terrace]

You have to make a good sandwich that people want to buy before you start figuring out how to efficiently mass produce it

[dense jackal]

Cause when I do ticketer_list.remove(ctx.author.id) it says like ctx is not defined

That got me confused

[dull terrace]

But I guess also don't make a sandwich in a way that's impossible to mass produce later

[sick birch]

You don't have to start immediately selling the sandwich first :P
You can hold off until you can efficiently mass produce, then go public

[smoky sinew]

personally for me readable and reusable

[sick birch]

Pretty much the same concept

[cloud dawn]

I mean lines go pretty fast.

[sick birch]

But the opposite is also common
It has it's own name
"MVP" for minimum viable product

I think that's just personal preference really

[smoky sinew]

it's impossible to finish that way

[thin raft]

pls tell me the 7k lines are in the same file

[smoky sinew]

my logic when starting a project is to get something usable out first

[dull terrace]

No I went to the other extreme and have 31 files

[thin raft]

okok

one dude yesterday I think had like over 3+ lines in a same file

[smoky sinew]

what does your file structure look like?

[cloud dawn]

!e print(7000/31)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[thin raft]

can you use tree command @dull terrace ?

I am intrigued rn

do tree /F to show files in win

[slate swan]

Wow, 3 entire lines of code

[dull terrace]

Alright prepare to cringe

[thin raft]

istg

my keyboard registers the keys it wants

[dense jackal]

How can I remove a user from a list I created

Cause when I do ticketer_list.remove(ctx.author.id) it says like ctx is not defined That got me confused

[cloud dawn]

I mean 3+ does scale pretty high.

[slate swan]

The error is pretty much telling you exactly what's wrong, send the code where you're trying to do it so we can help you find a solution

[dense jackal]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/overoqewor

[cloud dawn]

Organization🗿

[thin raft]

use folders

it looks clean tho

[slate swan]

Not the entire file~
Just the command/event/function that is throwing the error.

[dull terrace]

Idk about clean it's pretty chaotic

[slate swan]

And the error traceback itself preferably.

[idle surge]

Im trying to delete a dropdown once interacting with it. Not sure what to do as await interaction.message.delete() doesnt work as it comes back with a 404 error. Here is my code:

View:

class InviterView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.add_item(Inviter())

Dropdown:

class Inviter(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self):
       options=[
IGNORE THIS
       ]
       super().__init__(placeholder="What game are you playing?", options=options, min_values=1, max_values=1)
    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=":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))

[slate swan]

to delete dropdown you edit message and set view to None

[idle surge]

It doesnt delete the embed attached to it though

just the dropdown

[slate swan]

you said you want to remove dropdown

[smoky sinew]

did you use what i sent yesterday?

[idle surge]

Yeah, didnt work.

[idle surge]

Sorry, im trying to delete both. The embed and the dropdown with it after interacting.

[smoky sinew]

have you tried self.view.remove_item(self)

[idle surge]

In the same place as the view?

[smoky sinew]

just do await message.edit(embed=None, view=None)

[smoky sinew]

in the dropdown

[idle surge]

let me try this one rq

Ima try it in like 5 minutes. Just need to do something real quick. Thanks for the help.

[smoky sinew]

what you said yesterday and today are different

you wanted to remove the dropdown but now you want to remove the dropdown and the embed

[idle surge]

I initially just said dropdown because whenever I try to delete a button it deletes both the button and embed. I assumed it was the same with dropdowns.

[smoky sinew]

that shouldn't happen...

[idle surge]

if I were to delete the view it deletes just the button but If I did interaction.message.delete it deletes the whole thing.

[smoky sinew]

a view can hold any number of select menus (dropdowns) and buttons

and a message can hold multiple embeds and one view

[idle surge]

I was able to fix it though, I did:

        await interaction.response.defer()
        await interaction.delete_original_response()

[idle surge]

I dont know, just always did it with me.

[smoky sinew]

that's just deleting the whole message though

not only the embed and view

[slate swan]

thats all they have in the message tho

honestly no point in deleting the message when its ephemeral

[ionic garden]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/afucazezat
imo these two classes seem really redundant
is there a way to put them into just one?

[dense jackal]

Why does my bot say interaction failed after like 1min if you haven’t interacted with it

[smoky sinew]

because it times out

[dense jackal]

Is there a way to not time it out?

I mean reaction roles buttons doesn’t time out

[smoky sinew]

what are you referring to

[dense jackal]

Like

Those never times out

[smoky sinew]

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

try this

[dense jackal]

Kk

[dense jackal]

Let me wait -_- lol

[red kindle]

can someone please help me figure out the problem

[slate swan]

i made a custom reload command but it keeps returning a new embed with more cogs on it: ```py
@commands.command(
name = "reload",
aliases = ["rl", "rload"]
)
async def reload(self, ctx):
if ctx.author.id == 1069789232824058016:
errors = 0
cogs = []
for c in list(self.bot.extensions):
try:
self.bot.reload_extension(c)
cog = c.replace("cogs.", '')
ax = cogs.append(f"{utils.success} Reloaded {cog}.py - 0 Errors")
except Exception as e:
cogs.append(f"{utils.failure} **Failure Loading {cog}.py - {e}")
if cogs:
embed = discord.Embed(
description = "\n".join(cogs),
color = utils.green)
await ctx.send(embed=embed, mention_author=False)

[slate swan]

yes, you should go to your main.py file and import the button class that you are trying to sync, and you go to your on_connect, and do (classname).start()
this will create a feature to not time out or get failures on buttons if you restart the bot or it gets timed-out

or try: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

either both ways work and its efficient

[smoky sinew]

you realize this is a python server, right

[smoky sinew]

what

there is no View.start or Button.start method

[slate swan]

you can sync your buttons like that so it wont timeout aswell, i did it with my ticket system

[smoky sinew]

what library

[slate swan]

i dont use any library for it other than discord's regular library, it works for me like that

[smoky sinew]

what's discord's regular library

discord.py??

[slate swan]

yeah

[smoky sinew]

because that function does not exist

[slate swan]

oh wait no its self.add_view(classname())
then you import the button class

[smoky sinew]

ok

you mean view class

[red kindle]

i really dont under stand anything about coding i just looked up coding servers so i can find someone to help me change discord bot's status to online

[smoky sinew]

we can only help with python here

[woeful wave]

Hi

Can I get help with python?

[slate swan]

@smoky sinew should i just return it instead of sending it?

[woeful wave]

So I dont understand how the tree forms..

[slate swan]

(someone provided)/(you created) an invalid package.json file
for more help you can get help in discord.gg/djs

[smoky sinew]

[dense jackal]

I have a problem with my modmail bot, im not quite sure to understand what seems to be the problem.

Bug: user dms the bot, create a ticket successfully but they doesn’t receive the moderator’s responses in dms.

Way to solve: If another user opens a ticket, both tickets will now be receiving the moderator’s response somehow.

And yes, I do get errors. Although, I do not understand what is wrong in my code.

[smoky sinew]

i wouldn't recommend so

they serve different purposes

[ionic garden]

but like they have virtually the exact same structure

[naive briar]

Take strings as arguments and use it in the class

[gusty flax]

Did u review the basics like we suggested?

[dense jackal]

Yeah I quite understand more now

I managed to do my list thing

Without asking help and even looking on internet

There’s some terms I still don’t understand (that’s obvious) but yeah

[gusty flax]

Ask about them

Id rather help you figure it out, then write it for you.

[dense jackal]

I dont need nothing else to write

I just need to solve my error now lol

[gusty flax]

Whats the error.

[dense jackal]

I have a problem with my modmail bot, im not quite sure to understand what seems to be the problem.

do you need my script too?

[gusty flax]

Whats the error message?

Obviously it stems from sending the embed 😅

[dense jackal]

Yep! As said, the moderator’s response embed wont send

Unless I open a new ticket

what's the error message though

Wats the error.

yes that is what we need. and send ur code too pls

[smoky sinew]

@dense jackal this is your issue

[gusty flax]

Wait, they sent the code?

[dense jackal]

alright yeah ive heard python requires a good indentation in order to work, will try it. ty

[gusty flax]

^ It is how scoping works 😄

[dense jackal]

I dont understand why it works sometimes and other times it doesn't tho

[smoky sinew]

because in your case indenting will create a new scope

or technically not

[gusty flax]

https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_scope.asp

[smoky sinew]

i think the else part is just not running

[dense jackal]

where do you want me to intend it tho? it keeps giving me red lines everywhere

[smoky sinew]

but if statements do not create scope

[smoky sinew]

just indent it by one tab or 4 spaces

[dense jackal]

Gives me a red line tho

[gusty flax]

R u indenting the right amount?

[smoky sinew]

what does that mean

[gusty flax]

Send ur whole script. I dont see it. @smoky sinew

[dense jackal]

This

[smoky sinew]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/overoqewor.py

[smoky sinew]

remove the extra space before await

[dense jackal]

There’s no extra space

[smoky sinew]

yes there is

[gusty flax]

Ur indenting is messsed up.

[smoky sinew]

look closely

[gusty flax]

Embed_reply is too far forward

[smoky sinew]

notice how these don't align

[gusty flax]

I think they need to move the embed stuff back

the await is fine where it is.

[smoky sinew]

actually probably yes

you're only using 3 spaces on the other lines

[dense jackal]

Want me to send updated script?

[gusty flax]

Push ur embed_reply lines to the right.

[dense jackal]

Like that?

[gusty flax]

There we go!

[smoky sinew]

yup

[dense jackal]

Alright, will let you know if there’s anything wrong

#databases?

[echo wasp]

ok i posted it there

Just create your own paginator

Whatever library you're using looks like it's poorly written

[unkempt mauve]

[echo wasp]

i am honestly suprised that #discord-bots gets a reply faster then #databases does

[slate swan]

cuz its discord 🗿

its actually the most active topical channel iirc

my issue is part of the discord bot but the prob rests in the database

so sadly I have to post in the other channel

you never call the function for run it.

Or just functions in general

[karmic nimbus]

not really, I'm new in coding

[magic minnow]

hello! im new to py and looking forward to make a discord bot using it. Anyone there to guide me pls

[naive briar]

You have to call the coroutine function (async function) for it to return a coroutine then await the coroutine

[pulsar bridge]

Any way to move threads between Forum Channels or Change the perms of the individual thread?

Or I have to do something like save the entire message history and create a new thread and send it there?

Are you comfortable with python basics?

[vale wing]

@unkempt mauve perhaps see this for reference. Not a ready solution for dpy but something that can be used as an example https://github.com/BobuxBot/BobuxAdmin/blob/master/utils/pagination.py

[unkempt mauve]

pagination is fine

I am talking about buttons

[vale wing]

Yes it is there as well

Formula for max page and checks

[unkempt mauve]

your code is complexed

[vale wing]

Lines 25-27 for max page formula, 49 and 57 for next/prev buttons callbacks

It's "complex" because of typehints I presume 😀

Other than that it's pretty clean

Options should be instances of SelectOption shouldn't they

!d nextcord.ui.string_select

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.ui.string\_select

nextcord.ui.string_select(*, placeholder=None, custom_id=..., min_values=1, max_values=1, options=..., disabled=False, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a string select menu to a component.

There is an alias for this function called `select`.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`ui.View`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.ui.View "nextcord.ui.View"), the [`ui.StringSelect`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.ui.StringSelect "nextcord.ui.StringSelect") being pressed and the [`Interaction`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Interaction "nextcord.Interaction") you receive.

In order to get the selected items that the user has chosen within the callback use [`StringSelect.values`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.ui.StringSelect.values "nextcord.ui.StringSelect.values").

[vale wing]

Yes

[white citrus]

it is

[vale wing]

In your case they clearly are strings

@vale wing

[vale wing]

Oh hell why not use time conversion

xD

[thin raft]

oh gosh

[vale wing]

Anyways if you want to do it like this:

options = {
    "1 minute": 60,
    "5 minutes": 300
}
actual_options = [SelectOption(label=k, value=v) for k, v in options.items()]```

[shrewd fjord]

Make a simple View pagination ig 🗿

[vale wing]

But I still advise to use time conversion

!pypi durations-nlp

[white citrus]

but this is not about my error

[unkempt canyon]

durations-nlp v1.0.1

A python durations parsing library.

[white citrus]

can we continue with the error?

[vale wing]

Solved

You need to parse actual_options to options in decorator

[white citrus]

Whats wrong at my options?

[vale wing]

They are strings

[vale wing]

options=["op1", "op2", ...]```
This is what is incorrect

[white citrus]

Yeah, it is an nextcord.ui.string_select

[vale wing]

Yes and it expects list of SelectOption, not list of str

Clearly visible isn't it

[gusty flax]

||nextcord|| 👀

[white citrus]

How can i make a followup empfemeral?

[unkempt mauve]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ezuqipumev

the callback function is not working

[naive briar]

Do you know how views work

[vale wing]

Simply because it doesn't exist

Just take a look at code I sent, you saw typehints or that formula and decided it's too complex to understand prob

Actually if you parse embeds to pages the code simplifies even more

Max page will be len(pages) - 1

Entries are not needed at all

[proper plume]

hello, can someone send me a embed generator for python without cogs? I'm trying it for like 2 hour and nothing works? PLZ (under embed generator I mean like a dropbox where you click you choose name, description, color and you can add fields and then the bot will send it)

[vale wing]

Cogs are merely a way of organising code (and dynamic updates) just telling

[naive briar]

What

[vale wing]

He means embed constructor I believe

[proper plume]

I know, I only said without cogs bc I dont have cogs in my code now, but I will add it if its going to be easier

[unkempt mauve]

the button does exists dude.

[vale wing]

discord.ui.View.callback does not

[vale wing]

Mm about embed constructor, do you want to implement that on discord?

[unkempt mauve]

so what do I do

[proper plume]

yeah, I creating a discord bot and I really wanna do it

[naive briar]

Read the docs

[vale wing]

I provided a good example

[naive briar]

You need to assign a callback to the buttons

[vale wing]

Oh, what exactly are you struggling with

[naive briar]

!d discord.ui.Button.callback

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.callback

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

The callback associated with this UI item.

This can be overridden by subclasses.

[unkempt mauve]

I do have a callback function bruh

[naive briar]

And did you assign to the buttons?

No

[unkempt mauve]

wdym

how do I assign (I am dumb)

[vale wing]

You have callback method in your View subclass, it will never be invoked by internals

[proper plume]

everything😂

at first I was going in a good way but now, I'am just really tired

I dont even know what is python😄

at this point

[vale wing]

That thing is pretty complex

If you really don't know python that would turn into spoonfeeding

[proper plume]

I didn't mean it that way, I meant that I'am tired, and bc of im tired I dont really know anything

[vale wing]

Ah then you might want to have some rest

Anyways I can help with UX design

So you understand what you actually need to do

Basically a view with buttons like "Set Title", "Set Color", "Set Description", "Add Field" and so on, on button click a modal pops up, then you fetch data user provided and go on with embed construction

For this concrete situation modals callbacks implementation sucks

It sucks generally

But it's easy to fix that thing by adding a future attribute

self._fut = asyncio.create_future()```

Setting result in callback
```py
self._fut.set_result("whatever")
self.inter = received_inter```
And creating some wait method
```py
await self._fut
return self.inter```

[unkempt mauve]

Callback missing one required positional argument 'button'

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ayaceretig

[naive briar]

Why don't you just declare it with the button deco

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

@discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View"), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

[unkempt mauve]

I need the buttons to be disabled according to the page dude

[naive briar]

What's the problem

[shrewd fjord]

;-;

[shrewd fjord]

Do disabled = True

button.disabled=True and edit embed or msg

with view=self (assuming it's a class)

And actually your left button should be always disabled from start

So simply pass, disabled=True on button deco

[unkempt mauve]

how do I undisable it later lmao

[shrewd fjord]

And then edit the buttons according to the pages

[shrewd fjord]

button.disabled=False

🤷

[unkempt mauve]

if I do @discord.ui.button(label='Previous', disabled=True) it will be always disabled if I am not wrong

[shrewd fjord]

It will be disabled from the start

Then when user clicks the button, then on the callback do button.disabled=False and edit the embed with view=self

So you can enable it again

[unkempt mauve]

the callback requires discord.ui.Button right

[shrewd fjord]

Wdym?

@discord.ui.button(....)
async def somename(self, .....):
   #this is the button callback

[unkempt mauve]

how can user click on a disabled button

[shrewd fjord]

Sorry mb, re-ebable it when people clicks the right button

self.somename.disabled=False

Some name is the callback name

[unkempt mauve]

o

if I get back to the first page, I will make a if condition where the button will be disabled right

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah

if ....==1:
disable it and edit the embed

[unkempt mauve]

same for the next but reverse

[shrewd fjord]

Then also do
if .... == len(a_list_of_embeds):
disable the right button

[unkempt mauve]

hm

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah u got it

[unkempt mauve]

thats the thing I needed to know

finally someone understood my problem

[shrewd fjord]

Pretty simple 🗿

finally i understood some one's problem actually

[unkempt mauve]

nah bro. I am just dumb. my brain is less functioning because of insomnia

[shrewd fjord]

I am too bad at understanding stuffs lol

[shrewd fjord]

Oh sed

[unkempt mauve]

and this "Pagination" started from morning

and its night already

[shrewd fjord]

I have a simple example actually

Which is made with dpy

But actually u can copy paste it to ur code, thats why i can't give it lol. (Spoon feeding uk) xd

[glad cradle]

I have a package for disnake that handles pagination logic

if you're interested you can take this as example https://github.com/Snipy7374/disnake-ext-paginator though it's for disnake

[cunning iris]

what's the best way to store user items for a small bot, json file with a dictionnary in it ? or smth else ?

[smoky sinew]

sqlite

[cunning iris]

I meant small bot, just to use with a small group of people, no need for a huge db 😄

[smoky sinew]

it's not huge

that's why it's named lite

[sick birch]

They didn't recommend cassandra did they :p

[smoky sinew]

cassandra 💀

[gusty flax]

Bro plans on making discord sized bot

[alpine cove]

pickle it

[alpine cove]

u making a paginator?

[unkempt mauve]

yes and everything is solved

[alpine cove]

alr was bout recommind mine https://github.com/TheWever/dpy-toolbox/blob/main/examples/paginator.py

its shit but works xD

[shrewd fjord]

U made that to work?

[unkempt mauve]

yes

Now the issue is the next button is not disabled when the pagination has only one page

[shrewd fjord]

Do this
button(disabled=current_page==len(some_list))

This will return True if the current page is equal to the list and will return false if current page is not equal

[unkempt mauve]

I did it in other way

        if len(self.pages) == 1:
            self.next_page.disabled = True
            await self.message.edit(view=self)```

I know it takes a few nanoseconds

[shrewd fjord]

I mean if u wanna disable it from the start if the list has 1 embeds and page is also 1

The way u r doing is you need to atleast interact the buttons in order to disable it🗿

[unkempt mauve]

nope

it disables itself

just takes a few nanoseconds

[shrewd fjord]

Ugh ig u r doing outside the callback then i assume?

[unkempt mauve]

@discord.ui.button(label='Next', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, disabled=len(self.pages) == 1)```

I try to do this but vsc says self is not defined nor pages is but it is defined above

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah it isnt

[unkempt mauve]

how do i insert pages there then

[shrewd fjord]

That's a cool ques 🗿

Wait lemme try smthing

[shrewd fjord]

Btw u can do pages=self.pages too xd

Outside the init func

It will be a global var for the class then

Tho i think the way u r doing is good too

Lol

[smoky sinew]

have an update() function that disables the buttons

see what i did in my paginator

https://gist.github.com/mudkipdev/4b0ce96a2d9bd6205e16c52798546571

[shrewd fjord]

All bros suggesting their paginators 😔😔

[shrewd fjord]

While i dont have mine to suggest

[smoky sinew]

ok i just updated it

[ionic garden]

something's wrong with intellij

[terse orchid]

quick q, anyone know what the latest discord.py version is?

found it, its 2.2.2

[thin raft]

discord version?

[thin raft]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[thin raft]

2.2.2

[dull terrace]

can someone explain how to properly version something to me

why 2.2.2 not 2.22 or 2.3

[sick birch]

https://semver.org/

[dull terrace]

[slate swan]

how to make an image slash option

yo?

[smoky sinew]

what does that mean

[dull terrace]

i think they mean upload a file

[smoky sinew]

i use semver except i start the version as 0.0.0

instead of 0.1.0

[dull terrace]

if you're using disnake you do it like this

then you can do

if file.content_type == "image/png":```

to check if it's a type

[slate swan]

what ab d.py

[smoky sinew]

ah

[slate swan]

nvm

[smoky sinew]

just typehint it as attachment

[slate swan]

i got it

ty yall

[dull terrace]

iirc you can't edit ephemeral messages?

[stone gate]

sorry if its dumb, I'm not that good programming. I'm trying to make my bot work on slash commands (not hybrid, only slash) but every time i search i find a different thing and when i try it, it tells me I'm incorrect in one way or another. I've searched a lot and some say to import something called discord_slash that i cant find anywhere, others to import something called interactions, others say to do a @client.tree.command that i do not understand and other things tell me to do cogs first and I'm really lost.

whats the "easiest" current method to do this?-

[smoky sinew]

are you using normal discord.py?

[stone gate]

yes

[smoky sinew]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html

[stone gate]

thanks, ill take a look at it

[smoky sinew]

@stone gate here are the docs for a normal slash command https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.command

just add that decorator to your function

and your function takes in an interaction object instead of context

[stone gate]

so for example, if my code is this:

async def get_sheet(ctx):
    # Load credentials from json file
    scope = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
    creds = Credentials.from_service_account_file('credentials.json', scopes=scope)

    gc = gspread.authorize(creds)
    sheet = gc.open('SHEET').worksheet('Sheet1')

    data = sheet.get_all_values()

    response = discord.Embed(title="Sheet Content", color=0x00ff00)
    for row in data:
        response.add_field(name=row[0], value='\n'.join(row[1:]), inline=False)
    await ctx.send(embed=response)```


i just would need to change the @client.command to `@discord.app_commands.command(name="Get Sheet", description="Retrieves the Sheet Data")`
and the  `async def get_sheet(ctx):` to `async def get_sheet(interaction)`

[dull terrace]

name can't have spaces

[stone gate]

like that?

[dull terrace]

or capital letters i think

[smoky sinew]

@discord.app.commands.get_sheet

replace this with @discord.app_commands.command

and you still need to remove all the places you use ctx

[silk fulcrum]

hybrid commands 😎

[smoky sinew]

if you're not using any cogs then just do @client.tree.command()

[dull terrace]

for the record ctx or interaction are fine

[smoky sinew]

are awful; you get both the downsides of message and slash commands with hardly any benefits

[dull terrace]

as long as you use it throughout

[stone gate]

so the await cxt.send(embed=response) should be noe something like interaction.send(embed=response)

[smoky sinew]

no

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[smoky sinew]

interactions have responses that they have to send

you must send one and you can only send one

[silk fulcrum]

huh

I don't have problems with hybrid commands

[stone gate]

so, something like send_message(embed=response)

[silk fulcrum]

maybe it's that I got used to them

[smoky sinew]

you can't use any modals or anything like that or send ephemeral messages

[smoky sinew]

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[silk fulcrum]

bwuh, what a problem

[stone gate]

thanks! i think im understanding now

[smoky sinew]

yeah it is lol

[stone gate]

should i change something on my bot.py file or does this work directly?

[smoky sinew]

yes you need a prefix command to sync your slash commands

[silk fulcrum]

well if it is then sure

[smoky sinew]

@client.command()
async def sync(ctx):
    await client.tree.sync()

@stone gate something like this

[stone gate]

aight

[smoky sinew]

and run it every time you add/delete commands, or update command info

[stone gate]

either the bot does not sync or the command isnt working '. .)

oh i get this

NameError: name 'client' is not defined```

[dull terrace]

i think they still take a while to update sometimes

did you use bot or client

[stone gate]

wdym?;;;

[dull terrace]

should be a line similar to client = commands.InteractionBot() near the top of your main file

it's probably bot or client if you're following tutorials

[stone gate]

ohh i see

lemme check

[dull terrace]

and this is above?

[stone gate]

not above everything

[iron turret]

Hey, im having trouble with my discord.py bot. I want to make it change statues every 5 secs but for some reason it doesnt work. Its an error on line 11 and the error says this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\adenk\Downloads\xero\xero.py", line 11, in <module> async def change_status(): File "C:\Users\adenk\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\discord\ext\tasks\__init__.py", line 816, in decorator return Loop[LF]( File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.2800.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\typing.py", line 957, in __call__ result = self.__origin__(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\adenk\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\discord\ext\tasks\__init__.py", line 172, in __init__ self.change_interval(seconds=seconds, minutes=minutes, hours=hours, time=time) File "C:\Users\adenk\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\discord\ext\tasks\__init__.py", line 742, in change_interval sleep = seconds + (minutes * 60.0) + (hours * 3600.0) TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "float") to str

[dull terrace]

i don't understand how it can be undefined unless it's in another file

[stone gate]

oh wait yeah that might be it

do i need to define it in every file or just the bot.py file?

[dull terrace]

in that case move it to the same file or from that file, at the top import client from <file_name>

[smoky sinew]

@iron turret your seconds are a string instead of an integer

also do not change every 5 seconds that's an easy way to get ratelimited

[dull terrace]

although that's probably going to make a circular import

[smoky sinew]

oh my bad

wrong person

[stone gate]

you mentioned the wrong person lmao

[iron turret]

Okay, whats a right time?

like 1 min, 2min?

[smoky sinew]

i think 20-30 seconds could work

better to be on the safe side though

[iron turret]

👍

thanks!

[dull terrace]

you're doing maths with a string

[smoky sinew]

discord is

because a string was passed

[dull terrace]

oh i see

[iron turret]

Yay it worked!

Thx 😄

[smoky sinew]

@stone gate

what is your full code

send it with https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[stone gate]

like this¿

[smoky sinew]

you're supposed to press the save button and send the link, don't send a screenshot

[slate swan]

ctrl + s

and send link

[stone gate]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nesuturifo

[slate swan]

it should change upon saving

[stone gate]

sorry myb

[smoky sinew]

send the other files too

[stone gate]

aight

[slate swan]

since you are loading extensions no need to add commands too

[smoky sinew]

it's because you are using client in the commands file

[slate swan]

i guess

[vale wing]

Why'd you add 2 commands separately? I mean technically it is okay but what is the point

[stone gate]

i was just following what google said ;;w;;

[smoky sinew]

have you heard of cogs or extensions? @stone gate

class CalculatorCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    
    @app_commands.command()
    async def calculate(self, interaction):
        ...

await client.add_cog(CalculatorCog(client))

use this approach along with extensions instead of using import

[stone gate]

wait i dont fully understand

[smoky sinew]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/extensions.html
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/cogs.html

extensions are just different files the bot can load, and cogs can hold multiple commands events and loops

[stone gate]

so, i should move both get_sheet and calculate to a cog? how do i do that? should i move them to another file or just classify them as cogs?

[smoky sinew]

it depends on what the commands do

if they are small you could probably just fit everything into the main file

without using cogs/extensions at all

[stone gate]

so this is what my directory looks like

inside of commands i obviusly have calculate.py and get_sheet.py

[stone gate]

okay so, if im understanding correcly, what we're doing here is

Create a cog named CalculatorCog
adding the "calculate" command into the cog
and finally adding the cog

i dont know the specific terms for those actions, but im able to read it that way

[smoky sinew]

you don't even need to make a cog if you only have two commands just move them to the main bot.py file

[stone gate]

oh ill have more commands soon

i just want to first understand how to do slash commands first before moving on

[dull terrace]

it's basically an organizational tool

what you've got already works if you move it into the same file where you define client

[stone gate]

yeah, i just want everything to be more organized and accesible, if i just add everything to the main file itll eventually be a mess to edit commands and find everything i need

ill try understanding this and reading the documentation to see if im able to figure it out

thanks for the help!

[slate swan]

how can I add option_enums to discord_slash api for discord bot

[smoky sinew]

isn't discord_slash super outdated?

i don't think there's such thing as option enums, it's just an autocomplete

in discord.py it's as simple as using Choices

[slate swan]

i found out how to

also they aint that outdated

[smoky sinew]

yes it is

does it even still work with discord.py

you know discord.py has its own slash command system

[slate swan]

yup

[smoky sinew]

why don't you just use that..

discord_slash was literally created late 2021

because discord.py was slow with updates

[stone gate]

how do i set up a cog?

[smoky sinew]

why?

[stone gate]

Im using this setup_hook thing that i was following from the tutorial i was seeing but the console gives me an error asking me to setup the cog, and it just gets weirder the more i try to solve the problem

[smoky sinew]

why don't you put the commands together if you have two commands

[stone gate]

because i intend on doing a lot more, i just want to understand first how the slash commands worked so i can make the rest

i dont want to make everything and then break it all trying to make the cogs and slash commands work

sorry if it just seems like im being stubborn

[smoky sinew]

you don't even need cogs though

[stone gate]

so should i just write everything on the main file? wouldnt that get messy really fast?

[smoky sinew]

i mean it depends on how big your bot is and how you want to organize it

cogs are usually used alongside extensions but you shouldn't make a new file for each new command

[stone gate]

i see

[slate swan]

extensions? i only use cogs

[smoky sinew]

why?

[slate swan]

everyone sets their bot up differently, but i have my main, settings, .env and then a cog_extension folder and divided up my cogs based on the event listeners that are used. except commands and slash commands have their own file

[slate swan]

cause im still a newb? idk

[smoky sinew]

so you are using extensions

if you use load_extension anywhere in your code then you are using extensions

they are different from cogs but an extension can have any number of cogs in it (or could have none at all)

[stone gate]

sorry for the inconvinience, im really bad at understanding stuff just from the get-go, and my english isnt that good to understand well the documentation. Im more of a "i see an example that applies to my case and understands the patterns of it"

[smoky sinew]

what is your bot like?

[stone gate]

like, what does it do?

[smoky sinew]

yeah

[stone gate]

Basically i have this google sheets calculator for roleplay to calculate stuff like battles, buying stuff, inventory and things like that. I want the bot to automate the process (interact with data given by the users and feed it/modify a sheet inside the calculator) so that i dont need to do everything manually

[smoky sinew]

so you are using a command to edit the google sheet?

how many commands do you expect to have?

i would use cogs/extensions if you have any other commands that aren't related to google sheets, maybe have a google sheets extension

[stone gate]

hmmmm, let me see, like around 20?

[smoky sinew]

it shouldn't be a problem to put them in one extension or the main file if they're all for the same purpose

[stone gate]

i see

[smoky sinew]

do you need me to explain how cogs / extensions work?

[stone gate]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/epadocisoz heres how i did it

[smoky sinew]

looks pretty good, though i wouldn't make a separate extension for each command

then you will have 20+ files

[stone gate]

i mean, yeah, i would like to at least have my commands on a separate file-

[smoky sinew]

you've done pretty well with the extension stuff, i would add a cog like this:

import gspread
from google.oauth2.service_account import Credentials
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class CalculationCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        
        self.scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
        self.creds = Credentials.from_service_account_file('credentials.json', scopes=self.scope)
        self.client_gs = gspread.authorize(self.creds)
        self.sheet = self.client_gs.open("Lyrical DMG").worksheet("Calc") # Replace with your spreadsheet name and worksheet name

    @commands.command()
    async def calculate(self, ctx, var1: str, var2: str):
        # Update spreadsheet with new values
        sheet.update_cell(3, 1, var1) # Update cell A3 with var1
        sheet.update_cell(3, 7, var2) # Update cell G3 with var2
    
        result = sheet.acell('C4').value
        dmg_type = sheet.acell('D3').value
        attacker = sheet.acell('C3').value
        defender = sheet.acell('E3').value
        crit_chance = sheet.acell('F13').value
        crit_multiplier = sheet.acell('F16').value
        crit_damage = sheet.acell('E14').value

        response = discord.Embed(title="Calculator Result", color=0x00ff00)
        response.add_field(name="Daño Total", value=result)
        response.add_field(name="Tipo de Daño", value=dmg_type)
        response.add_field(name="Critico", value=crit_chance)
        response.add_field(name="Atacante", value=attacker, inline=True)
        response.add_field(name="Defensor", value=defender, inline=True)
        response.add_field(name="Roll de Crit", value=crit_multiplier)
        response.add_field(name="Roll Necesario", value=crit_damage)
        await ctx.send(embed=response)

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(CalculationCog(bot)) # adds the calculate command too

but replace sheet with self.sheet

[stone gate]

well actually mos of the documented stuff was wrong and a friend that knows how the google API works helped me make it work lmao

[smoky sinew]

wdym the documented stuff was wrong?

[stone gate]

commented* those were lines/stuff he fixed

[smoky sinew]

ah i see

[full lily]

How do i write a command that takes an arbitrary number of arguments

can i just *arg?

what if i want it to gather all of the args of a certain type? Wasn't there a thing for that?

[smoky sinew]

greedy?

!d discord.ext.commands.Greedy

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Greedy

class discord.ext.commands.Greedy```
A special converter that greedily consumes arguments until it can’t. As a consequence of this behaviour, most input errors are silently discarded, since it is used as an indicator of when to stop parsing.

When a parser error is met the greedy converter stops converting, undoes the internal string parsing routine, and continues parsing regularly.

For example, in the following code:

```py
@commands.command()
async def test(ctx, numbers: Greedy[int], reason: str):
    await ctx.send("numbers: {}, reason: {}".format(numbers, reason))
```  An invocation of `[p]test 1 2 3 4 5 6 hello` would pass `numbers` with `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]` and `reason` with `hello`...

[full lily]

ah that would be it. Vaguely remembered something about that

[stone gate]

okay so now, what should i add on my main file?

[full lily]

What if I wanted something custom for this? for example strings that begin with letter "a"

[smoky sinew]

hmm, i would guess create your own converter extending greedy

i don't think you can do that with the default one

[full lily]

okidoke, sounds good

[smoky sinew]

if you haven't already, load the extension by doing await client.load_extension("filename") replacing the slashes in the file name with dots

like you would with a python import

actually i think you might be able to do Greedy[CustomConverter] instead of extending it

i will double check @full lily

[stone gate]

so if the file is calculate.py on the commands folder, what should that look like?

await client.load_extension("calculate")
or
await client.load_extension("commands.calculate")

[smoky sinew]

the second one

[stone gate]

    await client.load_extension("commands.calculate")
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: 'await' outside function```

[smoky sinew]

try this

@client.event
async def setup_hook():
    await client.load_extension("commands.calculate")

[stone gate]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/aputigurim

heres my main, it reads the token but i get another message

[smoky sinew]

what is it

Hey @stone gate! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discord.com/developers/applications

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[smoky sinew]

what does your code look like?

did you await Bot.add_cog?

also did you reset your token

[stone gate]

nope, the await is on the "await ctx.send" just before

[smoky sinew]

can you paste your code again

!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.

[stone gate]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ejibozahas

[upbeat ice]

    bot.add_cog(CalculationCog(bot)) ```

[slate swan]

the setup function should be async

[smoky sinew]

oh that's my fault

[slate swan]

and you need to await the add_cog

[smoky sinew]

i forgot to put that

[stone gate]

async def setup(bot):
await client.add_cog(CalculationCog(bot))

like that?

[slate swan]

bot.add_cog

[smoky sinew]

capitalize Cog

[stone gate]

yeeeahhh it works

[smoky sinew]

@full lily yeah you can do this apparently:

class CustomConverter(commands.Converter):
    async def convert(self, ctx, argument):
        if not argument.startswith("abc"):
            raise BadArgument("The argument does not start with abc")
        else:
            return argument

@bot.command()
async def command(ctx, argument: Greedy[CustomConverter]):
    ...

[full lily]

thanks for taking the time to conjure this

very nice

[smoky sinew]

np

[stone gate]

now i get this error when using the !calculate command:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'sheet' is not defined```

[smoky sinew]

replace everything named sheet with self.sheet

[stone gate]

thanks

now, with that out of the way, how did the slash commands were made again? Lmao

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32

this guide explains it well ^

[stone gate]

okay so it kinda worked

nevermind it worked

[stone gate]

@smoky sinew one last question, if for example, different commands use different sheets, instead of self.sheet shouldnt i do something like

damage.sheet
money.sheet
character.sheet
and define each one?

or is it better to do a different cog per sheet?

[smoky sinew]

just make a separate variable for each one

[stone gate]

aight

thanks, you helped a lot

[dense jackal]

Ok so @smoky sinew do you remember this problem of yesterday when members doesn’t receive moderator’s response but when I open a ticket, the interaction bot-user restart?

@gusty flax do you? Cause even after correcting my script with you guys, its still lagging without sending an error code

[smoky sinew]

huh

[dense jackal]

The thing we thought we fixed

With my intends

Well it didnt work

This is when opening a ticket by myself, everything stop lagging =

If others want to help me :

I have a problem with my modmail bot, im not quite sure to understand what seems to be the problem.

Bug: user dms the bot, create a ticket successfully but they doesn’t receive the moderator’s responses in dms.

Way to solve: If another user opens a ticket, both tickets will now be receiving the moderator’s response somehow.

And no, I do not get errors. I do not understand what is wrong in my code.

[upbeat ice]

would have to see your code

otherwise we are just guessing

[patent lark]

yup

[dense jackal]

Alright

[dense jackal]

Can you give my 5-10 mins? I need to get on my pc

[slate swan]

I can't access message content in my new bot, i have that intent on but still it won't give me anything. Did discord really pulled the plug on it??

[slate swan]

you need to enable the intent in your code too

!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.

[slate swan]

I have it

show code

Wait

[shrewd fjord]

You need to always wait for mod's messages

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[shrewd fjord]

And combining it with while True:
...

You can make it easily

I think you should make a global variable too where it breaks the loop

[naive briar]

I'll never understand why people use while loops with wait_for

[shrewd fjord]

Idk 🗿

on_message will work too tho

[hexed dagger]

Hi

Is anyone available to help?

[vocal snow]

ask your question, someone will answer it eventually

[naive briar]

Don't ask to ask

[smoky sinew]

garlic today

[vocal snow]

putt party is better

[smoky sinew]

💀

[hexed dagger]

So this is my code to transfer users that have a specific role to another role

It's not working

[keen talon]

!code pls share in form of text instead of pictures

[unkempt canyon]

Formatting code on discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[smoky sinew]

why are you even calling __eq__ manually

[smoky sinew]

your error is that arg1 is a string and you're passing a string to join

[hexed dagger]

'''@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def moveusers(ctx, arg1, arg2):
server = ctx.message.guild
role_name = (' '.join(arg1))
role_id1 = server.roles[0]
role_id2 = server.roles[0]
for role in server.roles:
if arg1.eq(role.name):
role_id1 = role
break
if(arg2.eq(role.name)):
role_id2 = role
break
else:
await ctx.send("Role doesn't exist")
return
for member in server.members:
print(role_id1)
print(role_id2)
if role_id1 in member.roles:
await member.remove_roles(role_id1)
await member.add_roles(role_id2)
await ctx.send("Users transferred successfully")'''

[keen talon]

!d str.join

[unkempt canyon]

str.join

str.join(iterable)```
Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in *iterable*. A [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") will be raised if there are any non-string values in *iterable*, including [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") objects. The separator between elements is the string providing this method.

[vocal snow]

and role_id1 and role_id2 are the same role?

[hexed dagger]

Nop

[vocal snow]

role_id1 = server.roles[0]
role_id2 = server.roles[0]

[hexed dagger]

I am trying to transfer from one role to another

[vocal snow]

you're setting them to the same role

[keen talon]

` not '

[hexed dagger]

I changed them in the loop

[hexed dagger]

Role_name

Wasn't used I removed it

Sorry I forgot to delete the var

[keen talon]

Also don't use __eq__ directly use == instead
