[fading marlin]

You have to fetch the message, not the interaction

[graceful ermine]

Oh

[graceful ermine]

well with fetch how could I add reactions?

[fading marlin]

fetch will return you the full message object

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.Message.add_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.add\_reaction

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

Adds a reaction to the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") to do this. If nobody else has reacted to the message using this emoji, [`add_reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.add_reactions "discord.Permissions.add_reactions") is required.

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

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.11)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[graceful ermine]

So like this?

Because I read the document and it had nothing to do with reactions and etc

[fading marlin]

No, message is still PartialInteractionMessage. message.fetch() returns InteractionMessage. Use the returned value to add the reaction

[graceful ermine]

and how could we get the returned value? what by doing an if statement?

disregard the other message

[fading marlin]

def foo():
    return 1

foo returns a value of type int. In this case, 1. You can get the value by pointing a variable to it

def foo():
    return 1

value = foo()

value now has the value of the returned value of foo (so 1)

[slate swan]

!e print(4194432 << 16)

[unkempt canyon]

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

274886295552

[graceful ermine]

@fading marlin Something like this?

[fading marlin]

In the example I showed you, foo acts like message.fetch

[smoky sinew]

the function was just an example

what would return 1 even do here

y = x.function()
y.do_something()

this is what you need

[graceful ermine]

will this help?

by fetching the message id of the interaction?

[placid skiff]

Hi guys, quick question
Using disnake:
ApplicationCommandInteraction.bot
I wanna know if this parameter returns an instance of the actual bot/client running or the bot object from discord, because i've added some extra parameters in my bot and i wanna know if I can join them with the command interaction

[graceful ermine]

@fading marlin ???

[fading marlin]

fetch is a coroutine, and doesn't need any parameters

[fading marlin]

The former

[smoky sinew]

you have to save the return value of fetch to a variable and then use it

[graceful ermine]

and how would I use the value?

[smoky sinew]

why are you doing def fetch

[graceful ermine]

I'm following his example

this is what I have

[smoky sinew]

yeah the example was just an example

fetch is defined by discord.py

you don't define it yourself

[fading marlin]

It's an example. You don't have to literally create a new function. foo just represents fetch, nothing else

[graceful ermine]

Now I am confused on how to fetch the message

[smoky sinew]

return to this and assign the return value of fetch to a variable

then use add_reaction on that variable

[graceful ermine]

I did this

    msg = await interaction.send(embed=embed)

    msg.fetch
    return await msg.add_reaction("✅")

[smoky sinew]

what do you expect msg.fetch to do here

!e ```py
def example_fetch_function():
pass

print(example_fetch_function)

[unkempt canyon]

@smoky sinew :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

<function example_fetch_function at 0x7f5e31fb8680>

[smoky sinew]

this is what you're doing right now

you're not calling the function, not awaiting it, and not assigning the return value to anything

[graceful ermine]

So then what am I gonna do?

[smoky sinew]

all of these

[graceful ermine]

You said I'm not gonna call the function

[smoky sinew]

no, you aren't calling it right now

[graceful ermine]

what's incorrect then if I am not calling it right?

[smoky sinew]

wdym?

[tired pollen]

Bro this is basic. to call function you just basically do
foo()
Put parentheses in end of function to call it

Btw this function is coroutine and you need to await coroutine

await fetch()```

[dusty tree]

any ppl from hikari here?

[smoky sinew]

me

[placid skiff]

?

[smoky sinew]

this parameter returns an instance of the actual bot/client running

[worthy heart]

but this way, its not going to delete the bots messages am I right?

[smoky sinew]

it is, unless you filter them

await StageChannel.purge(check=lambda m: m.author != bot.user)

[exotic maple]

when i search through user.roles,
how do i ignore the @ everyone role

?

[smoky sinew]

just loop over the roles and use continue when you encounter it

[tired pollen]

or loop through user.roles[1:]

Bc first index is always everyone role

[exotic maple]

?

[tired pollen]

Yea that should work too

[worthy heart]

but this is still not going to delete the bot's messages right?

[smoky sinew]

purge without any arguments will

this won't because there's a check

[worthy heart]

but then, its gonna prompt an error

wait ill send it here

this error

thats what I was willing to fix

tried to catch it but it didn't work

[torpid hare]

hi can someone help me im getting this error when i run the command on my linux server it just started happening the command used to work

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

my code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/jewedajuke

[smoky sinew]

print the message that it's deleting first maybe to find out what it is

[exotic maple]

Im looking to check if any of the users roles is in a SQL row, can anyone help?

this is what i got but its not working at all

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean "it's not working"

also you shouldn't use a sync database library

[exotic maple]

what do u mean

[tired pollen]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_any_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_any\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_any_role(*items)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has **any** of the roles specified. This means that if they have one out of the three roles specified, then this check will return `True`.

Similar to [`has_role()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role "discord.ext.commands.has_role"), the names or IDs passed in must be exact.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") if the user is missing all roles, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

[tired pollen]

Why you just don't use this decorator?

[smoky sinew]

what library are you using right now

[exotic maple]

discord-py-slash-command

[smoky sinew]

because he's looping over the roles

[smoky sinew]

ok that library is also really outdated but i meant for your database

[worthy heart]

can I have an example?

[smoky sinew]

just print(message.author) and print(message.content) before you delete it

[exotic maple]

sqlite3

[smoky sinew]

yeah so you would use discord.py 2.0 and aiosqlite3

[worthy heart]

on the check= right?

[torpid hare]

.

[exotic maple]

why#

[tired pollen]

Well , i thought he's trying to only allow users that has specific role(s) to use command

[worthy heart]

how can I add reaction to a interaction message?

I tried this but it didn't work:

await original_message.add_reaction('❌')```

[tired pollen]

What is original_message

[worthy heart]

original_message = await interaction.original_response()```

and the interaction is defer

[smoky sinew]

1. discord-py-slash-command is extremely outdated
2. sqlite3 is blocking

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Asynchronous programming

Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor

[tired pollen]

!d discord.Interaction.original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.original\_response

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

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

If the interaction response was a newly created message (i.e. through [`InteractionResponse.send_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.send_message "discord.InteractionResponse.send_message") or [`InteractionResponse.defer()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.defer "discord.InteractionResponse.defer"), where `thinking` is `True`) then this returns the message that was sent using that response. Otherwise, this returns the message that triggered the interaction (i.e. through a component).

Repeated calls to this will return a cached value.

[smoky sinew]

?

[worthy heart]

thats what I did

[tired pollen]

or InteractionResponse.defer(), where thinking is True)

[worthy heart]

thinking is true by default

[tired pollen]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[smoky sinew]

bruh what they already did that

[torpid hare]

someone please 😭

[smoky sinew]

you are probably responding twice

in the case of hybrid commands though

i'm not sure

[stone gate]

is there a way that a command can execute other commands in order?

[smoky sinew]

which type of command?

[stone gate]

interactions

[worthy heart]

I only respond once

my code:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/atiqicidoq

[smoky sinew]

for interactions probably no as there has to be an interaction to respond to but you could split the logic off into its own function

[smoky sinew]

sorry i meant to ping joshua

[stone gate]

i see, thanks

[torpid hare]

which one

u said alot

[worthy heart]

he said you may be responding more than one time

[smoky sinew]

that's usually the only time "unknown interaction" errors happen

[torpid hare]

hmm

[worthy heart]

if I remember, it happened to me when I forgot to defer my interaction, but it may not relate to this case

[smoky sinew]

yeah or if you take too long to respond

[worthy heart]

yes

[torpid hare]

ig doesnt hurt to try

[worthy heart]

yas

[smoky sinew]

i think you can use Context.typing to handle that?? i don't remember

[worthy heart]

do you know how can I solve
#discord-bots message

[smoky sinew]

why would it not work

[worthy heart]

its within an interaction

it throws an error

[slate swan]

can i see the code?

[worthy heart]

wait ill send it

[torpid hare]

defering fixed it, thanks

[stone gate]

is there a interaction.autor.role ?

[worthy heart]

nice

[smoky sinew]

how did you defer in a hybrid command 🤔

[slate swan]

not sure on what you are refering to what do you mean by interaction.autor.role?

[smoky sinew]

bruh im so clueless

[smoky sinew]

interaction.user returns Union[User, Member]

[torpid hare]

is that not a thing u can do?

[smoky sinew]

idk that's why i asked

[worthy heart]

thats the reason I didn't come up saying about deferring, I saw its not a slash command

[smoky sinew]

i thought hybrid commands took in context

[torpid hare]

ive been doing it for a while now

yea

[smoky sinew]

then what code did you use

[torpid hare]

i sent it

[worthy heart]

to defer

[smoky sinew]

wait wtf

[torpid hare]

await ctx.defer()

[smoky sinew]

bruh discord.py interaction code is so useless it's like a whole seperate library

[slate swan]

? thats a thing

[stone gate]

i want to get what roles does the user that interacted has

[smoky sinew]

it doesn't even make sense to defer a context

[slate swan]

no reason to anyways its useless

[smoky sinew]

there could have just been a HybridInteraction type

or something like that

[smoky sinew]

yes there is in an app command

[slate swan]

welp it doesn't make sense to defer context really

[worthy heart]

hmm, it seems to be working for some reason, https://cdn.agamsol.xyz/media/DiscordCanary_gYNz2Ohycs.png

ok, my next thing is to listen if the user adds a reaction, how can I do that?

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[worthy heart]

it works on interactions?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[exotic maple]

how is it finding something when its not even there

r comes back with a row

[smoky sinew]

it works for any event

[smoky sinew]

why are you doing SELECT value

it's SELECT <x> where <x> is the column name

[exotic maple]

nvm

thx

its midnight and my brain is shutting down

[exotic maple]

how do i put everything i selected in a dic?

[smoky sinew]

why?

what is a dic

[exotic maple]

dictionary*

array

dic = [] and i wanna put each value selected from the table seperate in the dictionary

[smoky sinew]

that syntax creates a list, not a dictionary

have you tried dict(record)?

[exotic maple]

ok im given this dict

and i want to search for a role ID in it

how do i do so?

this didnt work

i think its cuz its

"x": ROLEIDVAL,

and not just ROLEIDVAL, ROLEIDVAL, ROLEIDVAL

[smoky sinew]

also why do you keep calling them dic that's kind of concerning

[exotic maple]

lol

[smoky sinew]

wdym by role id by the way

why is your table schema like that

[exotic maple]

im lost

[exotic maple]

its kinda complicated

[smoky sinew]

your schema doesn't make any sense

that also wasn't the code i sent

[worthy heart]

so when the else block of the try-except block is gonna be triggered, it means that the reaction was done, in time?

[smoky sinew]

yeah if you are referring to TimeoutError

[worthy heart]

Thanks!

have a good night (if its night for you)

[smoky sinew]

it is only 5 pm but thanks

[exotic maple]

The fields are

guild_id | group_id | 0 | 1 | skip a few | 255

[smoky sinew]

what...

you have 255 different columns for each number

[exotic maple]

yes

[smoky sinew]

i think you need to rework your schema

[exotic maple]

whats wrong with it

also in a normal table how many rows can it store? @smoky sinew

that may let me change my schema

[smoky sinew]

many millions

it's about 2^64 i believe

but on sqlite it's probably less

[exotic maple]

thats quite a few

ok i got an idea to change my schema

[slate swan]

I have no errors with my bot but more of an import question, I looked up jus good things to save data: I found pickle its eh. I was wondering whats the best way to log user data just like a integers such as amount they used certain command.

[exotic maple]

I personally use sqlite3/db browser which is pretty straight forward to use for basic tables like that

[smoky sinew]

just use sqlite with aiosqlite3

[slate swan]

I'd look into learning SQL, it's a programming language (albeit very English and easy to learn) that allows you to read & write to database files. There's a few Python libraries such as asqlite that allow you to do that quite easily in your code.

I'd also recommend checking out #databases for further help with SQL-related stuff.

[swift heron]

is there a big difference from sqlite to mongo?

[vocal snow]

Yes

Sqlite is a serverless, zero-conf, relational database

Mongo is a NoSQL database

[vale wing]

I remember creating pickle "database" 💀

my code wont change the message and gives error:

so the get_channel call returned None

are you sure that channel id is valid?

yes

[vocal snow]

and what intents do you have enabled?

[keen niche]

all

[vocal snow]

are you sure the bot is properly logged in before you use the command?

yes, i have the on start thingy to say it is

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

[keen niche]

um

fetch_channel doesnt exist for me

[vocal snow]

what

[vocal snow]

how is bot defined here?

is that command in a cog, and in an extension file?

[keen niche]

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

its the same thing ive been using for all my bots ever, not ever caused a bug

[keen niche]

cog, same directory/file

[vocal snow]

do you have this line multiple times?

[keen niche]

its in the cog and main.py because otherwise the cog file cant know what bot is

[vocal snow]

yes it can

the setup function in the extension gives you the bot instance

[keen niche]

well when i delete that bit

i get errors

[vocal snow]

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Cog(bot))

you should not be making a new bot instance

[keen niche]

where does this go?

[vocal snow]

in the extension file

are you not using extensions?

how are you adding the cog currently?

[keen niche]

what is exentsion?

[vocal snow]

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

[keen niche]

i dont think i am using that

[vocal snow]

how are you adding the cog currently?

[keen niche]

wym

wait nvm

await bot.add_cog(Commands(bot))```

[vocal snow]

and where is this line?

[keen niche]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Bot is ready.')



    await bot.add_cog(Commands(bot))

    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="FuzedHosting.com"))```

[vocal snow]

so you're passing the bot instance to the cog

what's in the cog _init_?

[keen niche]

self.bot = bot

[vocal snow]

so use self.bot to access the bot instance in the class

why make another bot instance

[keen niche]

because if i delete the 2nd instance

the IDE gives me the red signal

[vocal snow]

red signal on which line

[keen niche]

top corner saying bruh u fucked up smthn in code

oh u mean...
nvm lol

it fucks up the line

[vocal snow]

which line

[keen niche]

channel = bot.get_channel(1086790739582791710)```

[vocal snow]

self.bot ^^

[keen niche]

thanks, works

[slate swan]

hello I need help can someone help

[shrewd fjord]

Drop ur problem or questions

[keen niche]

how do i remove a category from the built-in help command? i made a new class for commands, but they are admin commands, and i dont want em public to see

[silk fulcrum]

Idk if you can apply this to categories, but you certainly can apply a hidden=True kwarg to each of these commands in your category

[keen niche]

well, i asked chatgpt for help, and it said to do that for class, but it didnt work for class

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta.command_attrs

[keen niche]

so il try for individual commands

[shrewd fjord]

It only works for command

[keen niche]

alr

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.ext.commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.command

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

By default the `help` attribute is received automatically from the docstring of the function and is cleaned up with the use of `inspect.cleandoc`. If the docstring is `bytes`, then it is decoded into [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.11)") using utf-8 encoding.

All checks added using the [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") & co. decorators are added into the function. There is no way to supply your own checks through this decorator.

[vocal snow]

you can apply the hidden=True to each command via the Cog's command_attrs

[shrewd fjord]

Idk about cog class tho

[keen niche]

is there any way to make the class not appear?

wait

i found out how

if there are no commands visible in the class, the class just does not appear on the help. nice

[silk fulcrum]

Applying hidden to all commands will make it disappear too iirc

[keen niche]

ye thx

[2023-03-21 12:16:47] [INFO    ] discord.gateway: Shard ID None has connected to Gateway (Session ID: *********************).

is it possible to hide this stuff when the but is starting to run?

(at least the INFO prefixed ones)

[slate swan]

when using bot.run() add log_handler=None

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.run

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.run

run(token, *, reconnect=True, log_handler=..., log_formatter=..., log_level=..., root_logger=False)```
A blocking call that abstracts away the event loop initialisation from you.

If you want more control over the event loop then this function should not be used. Use [`start()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.start "discord.ext.commands.Bot.start") coroutine or [`connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.connect "discord.ext.commands.Bot.connect") + [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.login "discord.ext.commands.Bot.login").

This function also sets up the logging library to make it easier for beginners to know what is going on with the library. For more advanced users, this can be disabled by passing `None` to the `log_handler` parameter.

Warning

This function must be the last function to call due to the fact that it is blocking. That means that registration of events or anything being called after this function call will not execute until it returns.

[slate swan]

or if you can log only warnings and higher

[worthy heart]

I do

log_level?

[slate swan]

set log_level to level

you want to

for warnings its 3 i belive

[worthy heart]

log_level=logging.WARNING

[slate swan]

or this

[worthy heart]

lets see

wa

[slate swan]

nothin

>>> import logging
>>> logging.WARNING
30

[worthy heart]

working

[slate swan]

its 30 but you can just say logging.WARNING

[worthy heart]

yes ill keep it like that

thanks!

[slate swan]

[stone palm]

thats the point, i dont understand what it says

[worthy heart]

How can I make my bot display a custom activity?

I wanna do it when the bot starts up

I have the following code but it throws an error:

bot_activity = discord.CustomActivity('Waiting for users to connect to clients', emoji=discord.partial_emoji('skull'))

await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=bot_activity)

[stone palm]

and also how can i fix it?

    async def respond(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        data = (await collection.find_one({ "_id" : interaction.message.id }))[ "already_voted" ]
        if interaction.user.id in data:
            await interaction.response.send_message("You have already responded.", ephemeral=True)
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_modal(VoteModal())

[zenith thicket]

can anyone tell me why this doent work as a loop?

import asyncio

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

    if message.content.startswith('$pingloop'):
        while True:
            await message.channel.send(f'My ping {round(client.latency * 1000)}ms!')
            await asyncio.sleep(60) # wait for 60 seconds before sending the next ping

[gilded harness]

Hey

async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author.id == self.user.id:
        return

    if message.content('Fuck', "Shut up", "Fuck you"):
        await message.delete(message.reply("Hey you can't say that!"))``` Whenever I say "Fuck" or "Fuck you" my bot doesnt delete it and respond to it. Im not sure why

At first I did message.content.startswith but Idk if that would be correct

[vale wing]

No offense, but python beginners be like

[vale wing]

Check pins

[gilded harness]

Wait so whats wrong with the code??

[vale wing]

Check discord.py commands framework documentation and discord.ext.tasks.loop

[vale wing]

I suspect you have no knowledge about functions

[gilded harness]

I do

and what I'm seeing right now is that the return keyword is returning nothing

So Idk what it's supposed to return

[vale wing]

Then uh how can you explain calling message.content

[gilded harness]

I made it message.content.startswith

async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author.id == self.user.id:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('Fuck', "Shut up", "Fuck you"):
        await message.delete(message.reply("Hey you can't say that!"))```

[vale wing]

It returns a boolean

[gilded harness]

No it doesnt return anything

I say "Fuck" in the discord server and nothing happens

[vale wing]

!d str.startswith

[unkempt canyon]

str.startswith

str.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])```
Return `True` if string starts with the *prefix*, otherwise return `False`. *prefix* can also be a tuple of prefixes to look for. With optional *start*, test string beginning at that position. With optional *end*, stop comparing string at that position.

[gilded harness]

Wait so I need prefix for that??

[vale wing]

And look into arguments

[gilded harness]

No one is gonna say ?Fuck

[desert cosmos]

how are we supposed to handle check failure exceptions ?

[gilded harness]

Arguments are what inside of the brackets right?

Ok so these discord bot github examples are useless

[desert cosmos]

is that last line even possible

[brazen raft]

Separate await message.delete() and await message.reply()

[desert cosmos]

like calling two asynchronous methods with just one await

[brazen raft]

No

[gilded harness]

        await message.delete and message.reply("Hey you can't say that!")```

Like this?

[brazen raft]

And they probably meant to delete the message with the swear word

Not the one replying about it

[gilded harness]

See it isn't doing anything this bot fr dooky

[brazen raft]

Two different lines

[gilded harness]

   await message.delete
        message.reply("Hey you can't say that!")```

[brazen raft]

The message that is to be deleted is message, not the bot's reply

[gilded harness]

Ohhh I get it now

[desert cosmos]

ahh yeah just realized that mb

[brazen raft]

You should reply before deleting the message

[gilded harness]

async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author.id == self.user.id:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('Fuck', "Shut up", "Fuck you"):
        await message.delete
        await message.reply("Hey you can't say that!")```

Oh so flip it around?

[brazen raft]

Almost

Flip it and make sure you actually call message.delete

[gilded harness]

async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author.id == self.user.id:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('Fuck', "Shut up", "Fuck you"):
        await message.reply("Hey you can't say that!")
        await message.delete```

Alright I did that

[brazen raft]

Still didn't call message.delete

[gilded harness]

But message.delete isn't a function I cant call it

on_message is the function

[brazen raft]

Are you sure it isn't?

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you must have [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages").

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[gilded harness]

So I gotta have manage_messages?

Man they make this so complex

[desert cosmos]

no you just have to do
msg.delete() instead of just msg.delete

[gilded harness]

 await message.delete()``` Like this?

[desert cosmos]

yeah

[brazen raft]

How else would any Discord member delete other members' messages?

[gilded harness]

Ok so manage_messages is a seperate function right??

[stone palm]

can someone help me fix this error```py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/ui/view.py", line 427, in _scheduled_task

[gilded harness]

Or does it fall under on_message

[brazen raft]

It's totally a Discord thing

Not your bot's program

[gilded harness]

Yea I say Fuck and the bot doesnt reply to it damn it

[brazen raft]

Just like you need to give this permission to Discord members for them to be able to delete other members' messages, the bot member needs it

[gilded harness]

Wait but isn't the permissions in the Discord bot developer portal?

You just give it administrator?

[brazen raft]

No those are privileged intents that don't matter here

[brazen raft]

You're supplying multiple string arguments to startswith, it only takes one string argument

[gilded harness]

I knew it

So the commas dont seperate the phrases there's only 1 phrase I can put in right?

async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author.id == self.user.id:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('Fuck'):
        await message.reply("Hey you can't say that!")
        await message.delete()``` So is this code good??

the return is still making me ponder 🤔

[slate swan]

discord limits button ui interations to two per 10 minutes?

 responded with 429. Retrying in 575.73 seconds.```

[brazen raft]

The if with the return is just there to stop handling a message when the author of the message is the bot (compares IDs)

[brazen raft]

Correct

[gilded harness]

Ohhhh

[uneven hearth]

is it possible to have an argument (application_commands) that contains a list of all the server members who are having a certain role? exactly like discord.member, just presents only those who have a certain role

[gilded harness]

Wait so now I gotta make a seperate function manage_messages to let my bot delete messages?

[brazen raft]

No

manage_messages is the name of the permission in discord.py. If your bot cannot delete your message because it's lacking Manage Messages, you need to permit it in the Discord server's settings like you do for roles (do it for the bot's role). Nobody can touch server owners, so maybe not even that permission can permit your bot to delete your message if you are the server owner

[worthy heart]

The gist link doesn’t work

[vale wing]

You don't really need it, everything's is written in the message. Isn't it?

[vale wing]

!d discord.Role.members sure

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

property members```
Returns all the members with this role.

[vale wing]

UI interactions aren't really limited since they are gateway events and are initiated by discord

Although responses are done not via gateway

What exactly the endpoint is

[worthy heart]

if we talk about the same message, then yes, but it doesn't seem like that
#discord-bots message

[vale wing]

I actually meant this one #discord-bots message

[worthy heart]

I mean, want it to be custom
just like users do

https://cdn.agamsol.xyz/media/DiscordCanary_0PJiE8wRz1.png

with an emoji and all that

it doesn't seem to be listed

[vale wing]

Not possible

[shrewd fjord]

!d or

[unkempt canyon]

or

6.11. Boolean operations

or_test  ::=  and_test | or_test "or" and_test
and_test ::=  not_test | and_test "and" not_test
not_test ::=  comparison | "not" not_test
``` In the context of Boolean operations, and also when expressions are used by control flow statements, the following values are interpreted as false: `False`, `None`, numeric zero of all types, and empty strings and containers (including strings, tuples, lists, dictionaries, sets and frozensets). All other values are interpreted as true. User-defined objects can customize their truth value by providing a `__bool__()` method.

The operator [`not`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#not) yields `True` if its argument is false, `False` otherwise.

[shrewd fjord]

you should wither use any() or or

then use
if .... in message.content:

Then do stuff

!d any

[unkempt canyon]

any

any(iterable)```
Return `True` if any element of the *iterable* is true. If the iterable is empty, return `False`. Equivalent to:

```py
def any(iterable):
    for element in iterable:
        if element:
            return True
    return False

[worthy heart]

for the category should I specify the ID of it or the name?

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, news=False, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=..., ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you must have [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.11)") of overwrites with the target (either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite") as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit "discord.TextChannel.edit") will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

[vocal snow]

category (Optional[CategoryChannel]) – The category to place the newly created channel under. The permissions will be automatically synced to category if no overwrites are provided.

so you'll need to get the CategoryChannel with interaction.guild.get_channel first, and then pass that

[sinful thistle]

anyone wanna collaborate

guys

[slate swan]

Collaborate on what?

[worthy heart]

how can I add a permission to a specific member and channel channel?

view_channel

[slate swan]

Do you mean adding a channel-specific permission overwrite?

[worthy heart]

I mean, I want to add a permission, for a user, in a specific channel

without roles

https://cdn.agamsol.xyz/media/DiscordCanary_n87qrqmag3.png

like this in specific channel

[slate swan]

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.set_permissions Check this out from the discord.py docs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.set\_permissions

await set_permissions(target, *, overwrite=see - below, reason=None, **permissions)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The `target` parameter should either be a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that belongs to guild.

The `overwrite` parameter, if given, must either be `None` or [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite"). For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the `overwrite` parameter.

If the `overwrite` parameter is `None`, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

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

[slate swan]

You can specify target to be a guild member or a role

[tough lance]

Also remember, it should be a Member object

[worthy heart]

is this acceptable?

member = discord.Member()
member.id = interaction.user.id

[tough lance]

No

Interaction.user is a member if it's a guild.

Wait

Lemme confirm

[worthy heart]

I want to add the permission to a specific user

[tough lance]

Yea it's a member. You can use interaction.user

[worthy heart]

no need .id?

[bright wedge]

Permissions to role or in channel?

[worthy heart]

in channel, specific member

[bright wedge]

just use interaction.user

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[slate swan]

You should not be creating your own instance of Member, use something like guild.get_member to retrieve a Member of the given guild, or as Random Being said, interaction.user returns the author's Member object if the interaction takes place within a guild.

[bright wedge]

Do not use get_member, just interaction.user

[worthy heart]

I am kinda confused now xd

[tough lance]

Discord bots become a hassle when they get big

[bright wedge]

Just interaction.user

[worthy heart]

the object right?

[tough lance]

Yes

Sorry wrong reply but refering to your question.

[bright wedge]

Interaction.user returns discord.User, discord.Member object

[worthy heart]

so I dont need discord.Member right?

[tough lance]

No. That's a class, not an instance

[bright wedge]

You are new in python right?

[worthy heart]

yes

I mean, discord.py is the most complicated I've ever done in python

[bright wedge]

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

When you write the bot, if you don't know some things, it would be good to look it up in the docs.

Everything about discord.py is on docs

[worthy heart]

yeah, I know, I just still need some guiding through it

[bright wedge]

Well you can search it docs about interaction.user

And you can see what returns, type etc.

[worthy heart]

one day things would be clear

still working on it

[flint vortex]

i'm trying to code a quick admin bot for my server (still learning python, and coding in general)

and i feel i'm doing smth wrong bc i try to use pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install discord.py latest version and it says that's not installed

when i run that command, it says pip3 is not recognised

[bright wedge]

Just run pip install discord.py

[flint vortex]

not working

[bright wedge]

Error?

[flint vortex]

The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

[bright wedge]

[slate swan]

@slate swan man

hey, i want to remove my program from my vps background

how i can process ?

you need to find PID of process you want to stop

[slate swan]

how ? ^^

you can find out using ps or top command

not sure about top actually

and then when you have the PID you do kill -9 {your_pid_here}

[sick birch]

htop supremacy

[slate swan]

wdym

[sick birch]

I'm just joking around. I much like htop

[slate swan]

how can i know it's the process i want ?

[sick birch]

When Discord starts acting funky I can it

[slate swan]

@slate swan check that

[slate swan]

hmm

[slate swan]

help pls

should be something called python

or sum

a

@slate swan and how can i reset my vps ?

💀

@slate swan sorry for disturbing again, i want to start my script on my vps but i receive error, could you help me ?

your token was invalid

[slate swan]

yeah i saw ^^

[wary moat]

I've been experimenting with slash commands, since that means I don't need the message intent. I've been syncing my slash command tree in on_ready. However, I've been told that that's not a good idea due to rate limiting, and that I should use an admin-only message command instead to sync the slash commands. This would require the message intent, which, to me, would seem to negate one of the advantages of slash commands.

TL;DR: is there a way of syncing the slash command tree which does not involve on_ready and does not require the message intent?

can you post a screenshot of the full traceback

also what is your discord.py version

well how did you install it

so run pip3 list

also you should in future run pip3 install discord.py

discord is a mirror package

but at the moment those are on the same version so it doesn't matter

hmmm

that's odd

[little narwhal]

I had this same problem easy fix

[smoky sinew]

how are you running your bot

[little narwhal]

change:
intents = discord.Intents.default()
to:
intents = discord.Intents.all()

[wary moat]

that's not going to help

[little narwhal]

and go to your bot settings in discord dev portal

[smoky sinew]

no....

do not do that

[smoky sinew]

stop

[little narwhal]

turn these on

that worked for me I had the same issue earlier

[wary moat]

@little narwhal this is unrelated to his issue

[smoky sinew]

that will not fix it

[wary moat]

he doesn't have the intents attribute in his discord library

calling a different subattribute of a parent attriobute which doesn't exist isn't going to magically add the parent attribute

well, you could try that

but 2.1.1 should be new enough

[smoky sinew]

@slate swan how are you running your bot bruh

[wary moat]

intents has been in there since 1.5

[smoky sinew]

how are you running it

that's your issue then

[wary moat]

oh

[smoky sinew]

run it from the terminal

[wary moat]

try running it from a command line

same place you installed the dependency

[brisk relic]

is python.org a good app to use python in or do i stick tot replit

[smoky sinew]

your interpreter is probably different

[wary moat]

sometimes it gets mixed up with virtual environments

[smoky sinew]

python.org is not an app, it is just a website to download python

[brisk relic]

ye mb

which one is better?

[wary moat]

depends on your needs

[smoky sinew]

they are not comparable really

uninstall the microsoft store version and install it from python.org

[exotic maple]

Hey you may remember me from yesterday, ive changed my schema but im not sure if this is the correct syntax, can you maybe help correct it?

[smoky sinew]

what's wrong with it

add or remove programs

[wary moat]

I think you can uninstall it from settings or smth

oh, ok

yes

[smoky sinew]

x64 x86_64 and amd64 are all the same

[exotic maple]

How can i select data from 2 tables if possible in one execution? e.g:

[hushed galleon]

well based on this traceback, i wouldnt have assumed it was an issue with microsoft store python, my two guesses for the cause would be having a file named discord.py or having installed multiple conflicting packages that corrupted dpy

usually its in your local appdata folder but you dont normally need to know the exact location

does running py in the terminal work?

after installing you usually want to restart your terminal/editor to make sure it updates with any changes to PATH

huh, never seen py explicitly ask that

[hushed galleon]

btw can you show what your project structure looks like?

before you go reinstall discord.py

[exotic maple]

ive now got this btw

[hushed galleon]

what files are in your project folder? what are they named?

yeah that's likely the real cause of your last error

did you install discord.py?

using pip

how many python installations do you have now? is it just one

its fairly easy to mix them up when you use their commands directly so id suggest running stuff through py instead, e.g. py -m pip install discord.py

!windows-path

[unkempt canyon]

PATH on Windows

If you have installed Python but forgot to check the Add Python to PATH option during the installation, you may still be able to access your installation with ease.

If you did not uncheck the option to install the py launcher, then you'll instead have a py command which can be used in the same way. If you want to be able to access your Python installation via the python command, then your best option is to re-install Python (remembering to tick the Add Python to PATH checkbox).

You can pass any options to the Python interpreter, e.g. to install the [numpy](https://pypi.org/project/numpy/) module from PyPI you can run py -3 -m pip install numpy or python -m pip install numpy.

You can also access different versions of Python using the version flag of the py command, like so:

C:\Users\Username> py -3.7
... Python 3.7 starts ...
C:\Users\Username> py -3.6
... Python 3.6 starts ...
C:\Users\Username> py -2
... Python 2 (any version installed) starts ...

[hushed galleon]

ah whatever install discord.py however you want and if it still cant find discord, then you're mixing up your installations

type where pip, if it doesnt match the version you have selected in your editor then you've installed discord.py to a different python installation

[brisk relic]

im on the python app and when i try press enter, it shows my code instead of going down

anyone know how i can go a line down?

[sick birch]

Can you send a screenshot of your screen?

[brisk relic]

i found it 😅 i had to just go into file and press new

i was on the shell

[scarlet aurora]

discord_slash for 2.2 just wont work

I import but it just says I haven't imported

idk why, I have imported correctly and it is on correct path to work in environment but it just doesn't think I have it

[smoky sinew]

why would you need to use discord_slash with discord.py 2.0

[scarlet aurora]

what should I use

[smoky sinew]

the built-in discord.py slash command system

[scarlet aurora]

send documentation

[smoky sinew]

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

[scarlet aurora]

ty

[balmy bobcat]

hello, how can I get a channel's id with interactions?

is it something like interaction.message.channel.id?

[smoky sinew]

just interaction.channel.id

[gusty flax]

interaction.channel.id

[smoky sinew]

interactions will not always have a message

[balmy bobcat]

oh, okay

I'm not used to interactions yet

[smoky sinew]

ids are not strings

and also use the in operator for that

with a tuple

like if message.author.id in (1, 2, 3):

[smoky sinew]

yes use a list comprehension

with any

if any([r in member.roles for r in (1, 2, 3)]):

[slate swan]

*member._roles

[smoky sinew]

why so?

[hushed galleon]

would be nice if dpy exposed a proxy to that mapping, but i guess you dont usually have enough roles for that optimization to be worth it

oh wait thats just a sorted list

[hushed galleon]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.2.2/discord/member.py#L351
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.2.2/discord/utils.py#L783-L793

[unkempt canyon]

discord/member.py line 351

self._roles: utils.SnowflakeList = utils.SnowflakeList(map(int, data['roles']))```
`discord/utils.py` lines 783 to 793
```py
class SnowflakeList(_SnowflakeListBase):
    """Internal data storage class to efficiently store a list of snowflakes.

    This should have the following characteristics:

    - Low memory usage
    - O(n) iteration (obviously)
    - O(n log n) initial creation if data is unsorted
    - O(log n) search and indexing
    - O(n) insertion
    """```

[smoky sinew]

the difference is negligible

[hushed galleon]

theres also the fact that an integer wont exist in a list of Roles

[smoky sinew]

yes that's what the list comprehension is useful for

[hushed galleon]

but your example is trying to test if an integer exists in a list of roles

[smoky sinew]

ah

my bad

i forgot to change that

[hushed galleon]

lol

[slate swan]

.roles: list[Role]
._roles: list[int]

and you're doing py int in list[Role]

[smoky sinew]

yes i'm aware

[slate swan]

oh i didn't see recent message sorry:p

[smoky sinew]

just use _roles as sarth pointed out

it does?

what error

if any([role in member.roles for role in (
    guild.get_role(1),
    guild.get_role(2),
    guild.get_role(3)
)]):

you could use this instead i guess

[smoky sinew]

@slate swan python is case sensitive

[slate swan]

does anyone have/know of a discord bot example github repo I can view (or a sample code for a slash command?)

[tough lance]

There are examples in official discord.py repo

[slate swan]

oh neat

[slate swan]

Hey there, recently I had made an image generation bot that used OpenAi API, it worked perfectly fine, then U thought of moving to slash cmds and replaced discord.py with pycord, it stopped working. I googled, asked chatgpt and did everything i could still the bot didn't work. I uninstalled Pycord and installed discord.py 3 times, the bot runs without any error, but doesnt listen to any of my command. It shows online, but doesnt follow any command, even though it's online and doesn't give any error

[brazen raft]

discord.py supports slash commands since version 2 came out

No need to switch wrapper libraries or a third party library

Cog is just a class inheriting from commands.Cog. They are typically placed into extensions - simple python modules with setup() function defined. That function accepts bot as argument and adds cogs to it. You can load extension with bot.load_extension(). For further explanations see docs

And yeah no need to send your message 3 times

it's causing the error because you did something like

[upbeat otter]

ah

[upbeat otter]

You see how the if mayy not be triggered and no embed variabled would be created
that's causing the error
if that if statement does not run and straight away the else statement runs
there is no embed variable, and hence no discord.Embed object for it to send

you have to create a new embed inside the else in this case
or create a single embed and update its attributes in any of the above case

[slate swan]

how would i do that?

[upbeat otter]

embed = discord.Embed(title="", description="", color=ctx.author.colour)

if something.happens:
  embed.title = "You are UwU"
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)
  await paginator.start()

else:
  embed.title = "You are not UwU"
  await ctx.send()

something like this

[slate swan]

ah

i believe something is blocking it still, and im not understanding what it is since it keeps messing with my brain

@upbeat otter

ah, i got it, i know what is was

ah, i dont, i thought it was fixed, the pagination seems to not be updating and its over 10 roles in the guild, and the py
else statement from if l == 10: isn't working still, i believe something is still blocking it but im not sure why.. @upbeat otter

[zenith thicket]

can anyone help?

[noble thorn]

Hi

sure

[zenith thicket]

why doesnt this work as a loop?

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

    if message.content.startswith('$pingloop'):
        while True:
            await message.channel.send(f'My ping {round(client.latency * 1000)}ms!')
            await asyncio.sleep(0,1)

[warm apex]

@midnight oyster

[noble thorn]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I think it should work normally but there should be a way for you to exit the while loop.

Also this asyncio.sleep(1) is the correct one, that asyncio.sleep(0,1)means it should sleep for 0 seconds and return 1

[slate swan]

i think he meant 0.1

[vale wing]

Didn't I explain it to you yesterday

[sinful thistle]

Anyone wanna contribute on a discord bot

[slate swan]

@client.command()
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'command' help me

[slate swan]

.py?

[brazen raft]

Use discord.ext.commands.Bot if you want that decorator, not discord.Client

[slate swan]

tht client =?

[brazen raft]

You might as well name it bot because it's an instance of a class that is called Bot

[slate swan]

ok

[brazen raft]

from discord.ext import commands
...
bot = commands.Bot(...)

Then @bot.command()

[slate swan]

bot = discord.ext.commands.Bot?

[brazen raft]

You have to import commands from discord.ext somehow, so just do as I did

[slate swan]

i did it now?

[brazen raft]

Yeah but like here I showed you the import and the instantiation lines

[slate swan]

So i have to copy paste it?

[brazen raft]

You can't instantiate by calling discord.ext.commands.Bot, it will tell you that you can't import commands from discord.ext. You have to import it separately

[slate swan]

yeah imported it separately

now what?

[brazen raft]

Try it

You have to give the constructor a command prefix and intents

[zenith thicket]

yes but it wouldn’t work

[slate swan]

async def on_ready():
TypeError: Client.event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'

[naive briar]

Remove the parentheses after .event

[slate swan]

still the same error

async def on_ready():
TypeError: Client.event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'

[brazen raft]

What he said. @bot.event, not @bot.event()

[slate swan]

i understood

[brazen raft]

Can you paste your code in like

!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.

[slate swan]

ok

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/kejubotaku

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/kejubotaku

it worked nvm

[brazen raft]

You need to instantiate the bot with

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

Create a variable named intents which will be the intents you need for your bot

[slate swan]

Oh ok

i need default intents

can u make var nd send

[brazen raft]

Then intents = discord.Intents.default()

[slate swan]

Thanks a lot mate

[brazen raft]

It doesn't include the message privileged intent though so your bot will not be able to see messages and therefore not be able to respond to any command

[slate swan]

Oh lol, how do I enable it?

[brazen raft]

You need to enable privileged intents both in the developer portal and in the variable

Look up the names of the privileged intents on the library side, enable those on the developer portal

[slate swan]

it joined the VC but didnt speak

[slate swan]

it isnt speaking'

[brazen raft]

I haven't learned the voice part of the library at all

Can't help with that

[slate swan]

Oh ok

[worthy heart]

@client.event
async def on_member_remove(member):

    user = discord.utils.get(client.get_all_members(), name=member)

    print(user.id)

How can I get the member's object who left?

the member parameter is not a user object

which is what Id like to get

[brazen raft]

You get the member in the parameter, so member.id

[worthy heart]

but its not the object

[brazen raft]

It is

[worthy heart]

wait wa

[brazen raft]

That's the point of it

[worthy heart]

when I print it it prints the user#tag

sec

wtf

how in the world

[brazen raft]

The library gives you the member in the parameter

[worthy heart]

but when I print the member

[brazen raft]

It's like this with other kinds of events

[worthy heart]

it shows the name and discrim, instead of showing its an boject

[brazen raft]

Printing an instance of discord.User (or a subclass, which discord.Member is) first tries to convert the object into a string, just like any other object. discord.User implements __str__ in such a way that you get a string in the format: username#discriminator

[worthy heart]

damn

so thats the default for discord.Member() object?

[brazen raft]

Print str(member), you get the same

I think discord.Role and discord.GuildChannel implement something like this too

Maybe not

But all these do have a mention attribute which is a string that serves a mention to these objects

So like [#discord-bots](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/343944376055103488/) for #discord-bots for example

[worthy heart]

thanks a lot!

[sinful thistle]

Yes

[copper gulch]

havent coded for a long time, so I have alot of questions:

1. do all discord bots need to be all slash commands to work?
2. if so, then anyone have any saved docs on how to do the slash commands, is it similar to what we do for example: @client.command?

[slate swan]

no you can still make prefixed commands you just need message_content intent enabled

[copper gulch]

ahhh, anyone here use replit?

[slate swan]

and this is example of such command
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py

in discord.py

or in nextcord: https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/blob/master/examples/application_commands/slash_command.py

[copper gulch]

heh? which version did it start?

since discord.py 2.0

[copper gulch]

so I have to put await?

yes

you can use the setup_hook to load your cogs

Hi, i can't import tasks from discord.ext. Any idea why?

a simple reinstall seems to do the job

[tough lance]

Hi. Idk why, but after some runtime of my bot, the postgres server randomly disconnects. All dB related commands get stuck in "{bot name} is thinking.." with no error whatsoever.

[vocal snow]

are you using asyncpg?

[tough lance]

Yes

It wasn't a problem until now.

[vale wing]

Does the pg server itself function

[tough lance]

Hmm lemme check it on vps

[tough lance]

Yep it works when used directly

It doesn't even work when I try an eval command on the bot.

But works when I restart the bot.

[warm apex]

Hey @half wind check ur DM

[abstract kindle]

heyo, in terms of locally hosting my bot, what should I do if my PC restarts?

I currently have a windows task scheduled to run monthly to start the bot just as a backup, and I have reconnect on so that wifi wont be an issue, but the only issue I'm running in to is if my computer restarts for some reason, then I have to remote back into it to start the bot again

[vale wing]

You use connection pool right?

[vale wing]

You can run the bot with docker and setup docker to run on startup

[abstract kindle]

interesting. I tried looking into docker when I was less learned, but I'll try again now

[vale wing]

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/

Docker part is same for all OS, you will only need to setup docker in a different way rather than for ubuntu

You just download docker desktop and follow instructions

[abstract kindle]

Got it, thanks

main bot file, known as bot.py
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/afonixequb
cog file, known as ping.py

would anyone possibly know why the slash command coming from the cog isn't working?

[hushed galleon]

add_cog() is asynchronous so you'll need to await it, and usually a warning shows in the terminal when you forget to await a function

[slate swan]

yeah, my terminal is terrible and after the on_ready() in the main bot.py, nothing prints after the last '-'

[wicked atlas]

The bot’s command tree is only synced on it’s setup hook, which iirc runs before your on_ready command, which runs when the bot connects to the websocket

[hushed galleon]

oh yea true

and on_ready() can be called multiple times which makes it a poor place to set up anything there

Load your cogs in your setup hook, before you sync your command tree

[slate swan]

I do have that already I believe

I have await self.add_cog(MPing(self)) currently before the sync

[wicked atlas]

Are you running your main bot file, or your ping.py file?

You have two seperate bot classes?

[slate swan]

I'm running the main

[wicked atlas]

Then whatevwr changes you make to that bot class you’re making in ping.py won’t do anything

You need to make those changes to the class you’re actually using

[slate swan]

yeah, I used that for troubleshooting a while ago I should probably fix that

[slate swan]

setup_hook included?

[wicked atlas]

Yeah

[slate swan]

I see...

would I include await self.add_cog(MyClient(self)) under the main then? or keep that seperate by itself under a function under the cog file?

doesn't return any errors, but on the second hand I also can't see any errors due to my great terminal not wanting to output anything besides what's in on_ready()

[slate swan]

new main file: (still not working however,) https://paste.pythondiscord.com/kijumuzido

new ping.py file: (a piece of the problem,) https://paste.pythondiscord.com/safepotebe

[hushed galleon]

your bottom setup_hook is just a random function that wont get called, as per AM2 you should call load_extension() in the setup_hook you wrote for MyClient

[stone gate]

is there any way to do @commands.has_role() with interactions?

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.has_role (assuming you mean in discord.py)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.has\_role

@discord.app_commands.checks.has_role(item, /)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check "discord.app_commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.MissingRole "discord.app_commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.app_commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CheckFailure "discord.app_commands.CheckFailure").

New in version 2.0...

[stone gate]

thanks

[slate swan]

I'm confused by what you mean call load_extension() in the setup_hook you wrote for MyClient

how would I do that

would I just throw it under the class?

Ah nvm I understand now 🤣

my brain stopped working for a second

OK

I got the slash commands to show on discord... however every time I use the (one) command I setup (/ping,) it responds with "the application did not respond."

[hushed galleon]

does it show an error in your terminal? self.latency is probably what caused it to fail

[slate swan]

sure enough

an error did go through (I did not think any would up till this point)

[slate swan]

yep

would client.latency work (im trying it either way) (it did not work)

[hushed galleon]

interaction.client or self.bot would be two ways to access your bot instance

[slate swan]

it worked!

[hushed galleon]

thats why its common to have self.bot = bot in the cog's init method, for easy access to the bot instance

[slate swan]

yeah

thank you very much for your help!

Yo!

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ifacosekec

This bot refuses to create a new channel on the new creation of Journa, the embed in that new channel, "react-to-gain-access". When the user reacts with the ✅ to the embed in line 14 it refuses to do ANYTHING, literally freezes & doesn't even remove his reaction or adds the channel. I don't know where in the code the issue is & I really need help. Thanks!

(basically when the user reacts, it refuses to create a channel under his name bruhh)

[hushed galleon]

on_reaction_add/on_reaction_remove requires whatever message that was reacted to be in the cache, or in other words be a message recently sent while your bot was online, so if your bot restarted afterwards your event handlers will probably never get triggered

the on_raw_reaction_* events would be more suitable for your purpose

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add "discord.on_reaction_add"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

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

[slate swan]

gahh I fucked up so hard

it doesnt look right

@hushed galleon Could you rewrite the whole script for me fr fr

🤨

It suddenly wont work

Now it wont even react with a checkmark at all

!e discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "/home/main.py", line 1, in <module>
003 |     discord.ext.commands.Bot
004 |     ^^^^^^^
005 | NameError: name 'discord' is not defined

[hushed galleon]

can you get your event handler to work with the bare minimum code? e.g. py @bot.event async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload): if payload.emoji.name == "✅": print("saw a checkmark")

try putting more print statements to figure out if your event handler fires, how far it gets in your handler, and what your conditions are evaluating to

[stone gate]

    @discord.app_commands.checks.has_any_role('admin')
    async def remover(self, interaction, user_id: str, tag: str):
        if isinstance(error, discord.app_commands.MissingAnyRole('admin')):
            await interaction.response.send_message('You do not have the required role to use this command.')```

I know im probably missing something or not used something correctly, but the admin check does not pass

[hushed galleon]

you cant exactly handle a check error inside your command, but regardless have you double checked that the role name exactly matches admin? its usually a better idea to compare the role ID instead so you wont have to worry about it getting renamed or something

[sick birch]

• casing matters

[stone gate]

yep, its admin. The command works if i have admin and doesnt if i do not have it, but i want to send the message that message if the person does not have the admin role

[sick birch]

Yes. That's the "can't handle error inside the callback itself" thegamecracks mentioned

[stone gate]

i see

[sick birch]

You need a separate function decorated with @inland glacierremover and accepts a ctx and error

[hushed galleon]

^ or alternatively you can write a global error handler to handle the missing role exception from any command

[sick birch]

Sorry about the ping, am on mobile lol

[hushed galleon]

e.g. ```py
bot = commands.Bot(...)

@bot.tree.error
async def on_app_error(interaction, error):
if isinstance(error, app_commands.MissingAnyRole):
await interaction...
else:
raise error```

[stone gate]

thanks for the help

and for example, if i want it to handle every error to at print something on the console?

[hushed galleon]

raising the error like above is a pretty easy way to get something printed to your console, and especially important for error handlers because you wont know if an error occurred otherwise

[left jungle]

hello, I tried to make music bot using "youtube_dl", but I have an error when I type my "!play" command.

The bot is successfully connecting the vocal channel but then I have this error:
discord.errors.ClientException: Not connected to voice.

you can see here that the bot connected to the voice channel

[slate swan]

Getting amount of messages in a channel?

[hushed galleon]

afaik discord's api doesnt have a good way to do that, you have to fetch every message using channel.history() (up to 100 messages per API call) which can get held back by rate limits

[blazing flint]

Oh

How can I delete all messages in a channel with a purge all command and have it say the exact amount of messages deleted

[hushed galleon]

oh in the case of purge() it already has to fetch messages, and afterwards it returns a list of messages which you can get the length of

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.TextChannel.purge

[blazing flint]

Oh ok

So if limit is None then it will purge as many messages as possible?

[jade needle]

how to i just get to where i can write code for a bot

[blazing flint]

If you don’t know that, you probably should not be making a discord bot

[jade needle]

can you just tell me

[jade needle]

please

[blazing flint]

This does not work

[hushed galleon]

did you get an error? what didnt work?

[blazing flint]

One sec

[jade needle]

Can you help me please

[hushed galleon]

generally you want to learn python fundamentals, object oriented programming, and at least a basic understanding of concurrency
https://gist.github.com/scragly/095b5278a354d46e86f02d643fc3d64b

https://realpython.com/python3-object-oriented-programming/
https://realpython.com/python-concurrency/

[jade needle]

Ok but where do I actually type the code

Like this where I can actually code

[hushed galleon]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python
they're using vscode, but when you install python it comes with the IDLE editor which is good enough for initial learning

[jade needle]

Ok thank you

[young dagger]

Is if not verification_completed: the same as verification_completed: False?

[smoky sinew]

== false is redundant but mostly yes

[tulip frigate]

Why do I get:

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.cog' raised an error: ImportError: cannot import name 'ui' from 'discord.ui' (/home/fate/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/__init__.py)
``` ?

[hasty bison]

hello guys im new to discord.py what interprenter shall i use

[smoky sinew]

?

the python interpreter

[sick birch]

Did you do from discord.ui import ui?

[hasty bison]

ive downloaded it but i get this

[tulip frigate]

yep

[sick birch]

It's just from discord import ui

[tulip frigate]

you need to install the lib with pip

[tulip frigate]

i see, thanks

[hasty bison]

pip install discord.py

[tulip frigate]

correct

[hasty bison]

ive already done this

but i get this

[sick birch]

Is this pycharm?

[hasty bison]

yes

[sick birch]

You need to install it from the Pycharm package manager IIRC

Since pycharm sets up a venv for you by default

[hasty bison]

ok thanks

how is it called

[smoky sinew]

double shift > packages

[hasty bison]

i mean what package it is

[smoky sinew]

discord.py

what is the full error

[hasty bison]

i deleted sorry

[smoky sinew]

that's still not the full error

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.

[hasty bison]

discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal.

last line sorry

[smoky sinew]

it tells you what to do

go to the developer portal and enable the privileged intents

[hasty bison]

i now saw it too

[hasty bison]

can i make a command like if a message send in a specific channel, then ...

[smoky sinew]

that wouldn't be a command though, it would just be an event listener

you can use on_message

[hasty bison]

thanks

im tryna do an embed and i want the author of the message to be the author of the embed, but i only get the id

[wicked atlas]

The author field does not support markdown or things like mentions iirc

[smoky sinew]

you can't mention people in an author field

neither can you mention people in a footer, title, field name, etc

[hasty bison]

👍

[scarlet aurora]

changed to 2.2.2 and now my hoster wont run the cogs

commandnotfound error

[smoky sinew]

?

[scarlet aurora]

?

[scarlet aurora]

just a commandnotfound error

for any of my commands for some reason

[smoky sinew]

what is your code

[scarlet aurora]

it works

when I run locally

but when I run on my host it just does commandnotfind ignoring exception in None
