discord-bots

[proven pendant]

so the whole story is lmao

i coded the ping command in index file itself

however later decided to make a new folder called "slash_cmds" in the same directory as index.py and then add my commands in that folder (after i made ping cmd in index file, i used it once and it was succesfull so i later decide to make it in separate folder so i remove that code from index file)

so i make a new file and the make ping cmd in that folder

and I use discord.ext, i made a class called SlashClient and then synced in tree.sync

bot.add_cog(Ping(bot))```

i made cogs right, so i used add_cog method to add all my commands thas how i synced

[shrewd fjord]

you dont sync commands like that

add on_ready event or setup_ hook event on the cog

and sync there

[sturdy fractal]

not working

[shrewd fjord]

show code 💀

[proven pendant]

I import my ping cmd from slash_cmds folder

[shrewd fjord]

ׂ f ׂ

[proven pendant]

done

[shrewd fjord]

show ping cog

[shrewd fjord]

the the self.tree.sync on on_ready

[sturdy fractal]

[proven pendant]

okay, i gtg rn
ill get back to this in a bit

[shrewd fjord]

@copper quartz

[copper quartz]

whats wrong with this?

[sturdy fractal]

nothing but i want to add 4 spaces in embed

here before the author name

[copper quartz]

?

[sturdy fractal]

no not that msg author
i m talking about the quote author

[copper quartz]

https://i.imgur.com/wZjlHbs.png

here?

[sturdy fractal]

yes

[copper quartz]

discord embeds probably strip whitespace

[sturdy fractal]

@copper quartz what is that cmd

[copper quartz]

have you checked the discord docs for the embed?

[sturdy fractal]

@slate swan

[sturdy fractal]

wait was that for me ?

i m pretty confused

[copper quartz]

ofc

[sturdy fractal]

ye i did

there is nothing like tab space

[copper quartz]

I have never written a discord bot so no idea how the emeds work

can you link me the docs?

[sturdy fractal]

u are a mod here i was expecting u to be expert

k

[copper quartz]

discord bots is a very very very small part of the python ecosystem

[sturdy fractal]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html

https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro

[sturdy fractal]

what is there on the bigger side

[sturdy fractal]

@copper quartz @slate swan

[copper quartz]

maybe you have to add a field to have it inlined, descriptions field is probably made to adjust for multiple screen sizes

[sturdy fractal]

ig thats different concept

and i m now unable to save my changes

on discord portal

[copper quartz]

try to add a field with the text you want, see if that works

[tall temple]

what's the problem here pls ?

it works in my other script

@copper quartz

[copper quartz]

you have an indent error, either on the line in question or the previous line

if you share the lines above and under line 46 i can tell you in detail what the error is

[sturdy fractal]

@copper quartz

[copper quartz]

data, AI, ML and backend web are huge parts

[sturdy fractal]

ooo we can create Ai bots with py right

[copper quartz]

almost everything in the AI space is written in python

maybe, what doyou need help with?

[sturdy fractal]

how to make ai bot ? any suggestions i m planning to make 1

[tall temple]

ofc

[copper quartz]

do you have two on_message functions?

[tall temple]

@copper quartz :D

[copper quartz]

well, then one of them will not work

[sturdy fractal]

ig u can just add bot prefix than if message starts with $hello

[copper quartz]

i dont know discord.py, i only know python

[vale wing]

Use @client.listen("on_message") and name one function differently

[copper quartz]

if your overwriting on_message, you need to make sure you only do it once and that you follow the rules of the library

[vale wing]

@client.listen()
async def on_message(msg):
    ...

@client.listen("on_message")
async def on_another_message(msg):
    ...```

[sturdy fractal]

looks like u r making a minecraft related bot

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.11)").

Example...

Similar names: pycord.discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[tall temple]

huh

[vocal snow]

We don't help with boost bots here

[slate swan]

what is boost bot supposed to do?

[merry spruce]

hi everyone, if message.channel.send is not working, how should i fix it

[vocal snow]

Are you getting an error?

[slate swan]

the error is that await something must be on the same line and you split it into two lines (9, 10)

[merry spruce]

no but the bot doesnt run

[vocal snow]

Can you show your code?

What do you mean, the bot doesn't run?

[slate swan]

Boosted server

[merry spruce]

[slate swan]

this happened when i send the message in "bot-commands" channel

[slate swan]

it literally tells you 😭 openai.error.RateLimitError: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.

[merry spruce]

oh so i should pay for chat gpt right?

[slate swan]

iirc the free requests to gpt api were due to april 1st

now you have to pay for the request or something

not sure i didnt use this api

[merry spruce]

okay...

[slate swan]

Move it to the same line

[vocal snow]

Put line 10 on line 9

Possibly because you're using a mobile device

iirc you have to sacrifice the person you love...

[hushed galleon]

get_guild() will always return None until dpy can retrieve guild information from the discord gateway, or in other words after on_ready is fired

use discord.Object(...) instead, its an offline way to create snowflake-compatible objects

see also their github example demonstrating discord.Object

How can I make this,

!changeloader <new link>

!loader replaces the old link and replace it with my new link we did above

Is that possible?

[meager orchid]

Please help, I don't know what to do. I did something without realizing it, and now my file is giving an error. How can I fix it?

[vocal snow]

error suggests that you have a list called commands

which is overriding what commands is actually supposed to be; presumably discord.ext.commands

[meager orchid]

Oh, thank you. I found that variable, thank you!

[tall temple]

how can i know if a string contains a link ?

[slate swan]

with a regex?

[tall temple]

what's regex

[slate swan]

regular expression

[tall temple]

yeah whatever

[slate swan]

what?

[tall temple]

oh i found nvm

thanks a lot 🫂

[slate swan]

np

[tall temple]

@slate swan huh no i didn't found

just thoughts 😹

could you help me ?

yeah sure

ill recommend u the lib "re" for regex etc.

!loader replaces the old link and replace it with my new link we did above

If i want to make my own discord bot, what are the best things to start of?

[smoky sinew]

learn discord.py

also object-oriented programming and async/await

[tired pine]

dpy is very easy

I got used to it in about a few months

[slate swan]

depends on what you wanna do, its not always very easy

[tired pine]

now I can make whatever

[tired pine]

u can make anything unless you're trying to reach discord limits

I mean u can make unimaginable things like chess games

How can I delete a slash command? I already deleted the script but my bot still has the slash command and when I do it, it says interaction failed

[scenic pike]

Any who can help me and teach how can i make giveaway ?

[smoky sinew]

[smoky sinew]

database

[drifting arrow]

How do I get the category of a channel?

I'm using the on message and want to find what category it's in

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.TextChannel.category

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.category

property category```
The category this channel belongs to.

If there is no category then this is `None`.

Similar names: pycord.discord.TextChannel.category

[drifting arrow]

The best way to create a giveaway is first to have some way to store the entries, say a database of some sort. lets go with AIOSQLITE or Mongo. doesnt matter as long as it meets your requirements.

Create a command, such as /giveawaystart and optional params that let you say what you're giving away. or whatever. idk, you do you at this point.

Have a single button that says "JOIN GIVEAWAY!!" and when pressed it adds people to the database for said giveaway.

Lets say you want it to expire after a day, well you're going to need some way to either automagically end it or a command, lets make a command backup just in case.

/endgiveaway <- give command will end the giveaway and run the winner functions.
but you might wanna use a loop, run it every 30 minutes or 60 minutes. everytime it runs it checks the timestamp of when the giveaway ends, and if it has reached it or surpassed it, it runs the end giveaway function.

The end giveaway function pulls all users from the database who entered, picks a random number between 1 and X where X is number of entries. \o/ congrats they won. Cake for that person.
Clears the database.

I have not done a giveaway bot so dont ask me if this is accurate, it's where I'd start tho. Good luck.

[drifting arrow]

oh. I was so close.

Well. I fucked up somewhere [2023-04-25 09:11:32] [WARNING ] discord.http: We are being rate limited. POST https://discord.com/api/v10/channels/1100197334572351568/messages responded with 429. Retrying in 0.30 seconds. xD

Someone has a good vps hosting that will not cost me too much? I need at least 8 GB of RAM, i don't need huge memory, even 50GB are enough, but i'll like if it is an SSD storage, for database and other "optionals" i don't need them so i'd like to not have them if it is possible, and i'd like a Linux Ubuntu system. Someone has something?

[drifting arrow]

@placid skiff what do you consider "too much"?

Also, how do I make this less shit looking? xD ignore my test images. i just want it to be.. wider D:

https://contabo.com/en try these guys. I did and if I disregard the fact that I suck at linux it's a decent service.

[dense jackal]

Is there a way to mention the user when they interacted with a button? Mention them in the interaction’s response

[naive briar]

Not any different than with normal message

!d discord.User.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the given user.

Similar names: pycord.discord.User.mention

[old ibex]

!is_banned

!search

[smoky sinew]

RAM is memory

you're not going to find 50 gb of ram anywhere

use digitalocean perhaps

[dense jackal]

I mean I cant do ctx.mention or member.mention because its not in a bot event or bot commands

So im kinda lost

And I tried interaction.mention and that’s not it

[drifting arrow]

@dense jackal if it's an interaction, I believe it's interaction.user and from there you can do things like interaction.user.mention etc.

[dense jackal]

Nvm I got it thx

[drifting arrow]

[dim sand]

How can i make my discord bot have a "gui" similar to the one in this photo?

[sick birch]

Are you referring to the embed or the buttons?

[dim sand]

Both

Actually, more the embed

I wont be needing the buttons

So I want to take the profile picture of the member that just joined to be on my button response but im not sure how. This is my script. https://paste.pythondiscord.com/qofopocini. Here is an example of how its gonna look

[pliant dust]

v

why did this happen?

i did not respond to ur qn

[smoky sinew]

try using python

and don't use the -3 flag

[pliant dust]

fair

[smoky sinew]

if that doesn't work you might have to add python to path

[dense jackal]

@smoky sinew can you help me rq

[drifting arrow]

Why is my bot not mentioning the roles?

manager_roles = self.config['additional']['manager_roles']
        manager_roles_string = None
        for mr in manager_roles:
            if manager_roles_string:
                manager_roles_string += f" <@&{mr}>"
            else:
                manager_roles_string = f"<@&{mr}>"

it creates the tag thingy, but nobody gets mentioned.

[smoky sinew]

don't ping random people for help please

[smoky sinew]

do you have allowedmentions?

[drifting arrow]

on the role?

[smoky sinew]

no

in the bot

[drifting arrow]

lemme check

I mean, it is an admin

[dense jackal]

Sorry

[drifting arrow]

it's okay @dense jackal we forgive you

[dense jackal]

Im desperate fr

I need to finish this thing today or else ill die trust

[drifting arrow]

you can find it using member.display_avatar https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=member#discord.Member.display_avatar

[dense jackal]

There’s one thing I dont get tho. My button isnt displayed in the bot.event on join so member isnt defined

[drifting arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[smoky sinew]

pass the member argument to the view

also name your view something more descriptive than MyView

[drifting arrow]

"MyWelcomeView" 😉

[dense jackal]

How should I do that?

[drifting arrow]

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
  def __init__(self) -> None:
    super().__init__()
  member_object = None

  async def some_function():
      print(self.member_object)

then

view = MyView()
view.member_object = member

[smoky sinew]

add it as an argument to init

[smoky sinew]

it needs to be self.member_object and it needs to be an argument to __init__

also some_function needs to have self because it's not defined

[drifting arrow]

Then my python is broken coz it works for me lol

[smoky sinew]

that code would not work for those 3 reasons

oh wait

[smoky sinew]

wtf is with your indentation

[drifting arrow]

I wrote the code on discord itself. indentation sucks

[smoky sinew]

yeah you could do that but also that's probably not what you wanted

because button_user is a class variable in CreateButtons

not a variable of the object

and you need to pass it as a required argument to CreateButtons because if you forget to set the variables it would break

[drifting arrow]

good.

if it's not set it should break

lol

[smoky sinew]

that's...

if you didn't pass it to __init__ it would break too

[drifting arrow]

idk man. it works for me

[smoky sinew]

class WelcomeView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, member: discord.Member) -> None:
        self.member = member
        # if member is not passed, it will raise an error

[drifting arrow]

oh

i can see how that's significantly better

your way leads to an error right away. mine just leads to the bot malfunctioning 🤔

[smoky sinew]

yeah lol

[drifting arrow]

btw, feature or bug?
i replied to my bots message and the link was expanded into the display and actual url. Personally I think it's good coz i can see the full link beforehand. but I wanna know if it's intended or not?

[smoky sinew]

eh probably just discord rendering

it renders markdown a bit differently when the message is inline

like ```
this

gets turned into `this`

[drifting arrow]

😦

i had hoped it was a full feature.

[dense jackal]

Where do I put my view? In my bot.event on join?

Or outside

[smoky sinew]

outside

[dense jackal]

And that’s all?

[dense jackal]

Cause I added this outside of my interaction button

And I did like

view2 =buttonMyView()
self.member_object =

And im lost there

[smoky sinew]

from typing import Type

class ClanButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, *, modal: Type[discord.ui.Modal], owner: discord.User, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.view = view
        self.modal = modal

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        if interaction.user != self.owner:
            await interaction.user.send_message("You don't have permission to use this menu.", ephemeral=True)
            return

        await interaction.response.send_modal(self.modal())
        
class ClanView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, owner: discord.User, /) -> None:
        self.owner = owner
        self.add_item(ClanButton(
            label="Button",
            style=discord.ButtonStyle.red,
            modal=ClanModal,
            owner=owner
        ))

...
clan_view = ClanView(ctx.author)
await ctx.send(view=clan_view)

@drifting arrow here is what i came up with

haven't tested it

[dense jackal]

I understand the principle, im just not 100% sure how to use it

On my position

[smoky sinew]

just do something like this ```py
class WelcomeView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self, member: discord.Member, /) -> None:
self.member = member

@discord.ui.button(custom_id="bond", label="Bond")
async def bond(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"{interaction.user} bonded with {self.member}")

...
await ctx.send(
f"{member} joined the server",
view=WelcomeView(member) # member is the member that joined
)

[dense jackal]

Ok so I did just like you said and the button just doesn’t appear anymore on welcome messages

heres my script https://paste.pythondiscord.com/anitoquray

[smoky sinew]

like i said please name your view something more descriptive than MyView and buttonMyView

and the issue is that you are doing view = MyView()

[dense jackal]

So I could do maybe WelcomeView and ButtonView?

[smoky sinew]

what is ButtonView

ButtonView still does not mean anything

[dense jackal]

Its for my bond

So BondButtonMyView?

Buttonmyview is for my member view

To be able to use self.member.avatar.url

[smoky sinew]

no just call it WelcomeView and delete the other MyView

why would it be MyView and it's not necessarily a button

since views can have other things

[dense jackal]

One is for my member join and the other is for my button itself

[smoky sinew]

no

that's why it's not showing anything

it's because you're using two views, when you need one

[dense jackal]

No

Now it shows everything

Without having to delete

[smoky sinew]

delete MyView it's useless

[dense jackal]

Alright

Yea and now my welcome message wont even send anymore @smoky sinew

[smoky sinew]

why not

show your code

[dense jackal]

Sure

Ill send the updated

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/edorujedon

[smoky sinew]

no

you don't need view2 and you don't need member_object

but it should still be sending

[dense jackal]

Lemme send you my error maybe?

[dense jackal]

here https://paste.pythondiscord.com/jereyofole

my error

[smoky sinew]

yeah you need to pass the member

[smoky sinew]

it was in my example too

[dense jackal]

This doesn’t work

How am I supposed to do ctx.send when ctx is not defined

We aren’t even in a bot event of command

[smoky sinew]

just pass member to view

it's an example for a reason

you shouldn't copy and paste it

[dense jackal]

No no I get it

I just don’t understand how am I supposed to do it on my situation

Because now my whole welcome message is not sending

[smoky sinew]

you're already sending the message so just use the arguments inside ctx.send

[dense jackal]

Ok so

await channel.send(f"<@&1068944811782066307> Hello {member.mention}! Welcome To {member.guild.name}!", file=file, view=WelcomeMyView(member))

like this?

[dense jackal]

Well I did this and welcome message still doesn’t send and still same error

Nvm its a different error code literally

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/yinajiruhe

[smoky sinew]

you didn't do super.__init__ i think

yeah that's it

[dense jackal]

So this?
super().init()

Oh yeah kk

Nvm wait

[smoky sinew]

no

actually yeah

[dense jackal]

Everything works now! Thank you so much

can anyone tell me about a discord bot that edits code and works like a python editor pls

[shrewd apex]

it sounds like ur asking us to tell u a story discord bot dosent edit code but what u can do is make the discord bot run the code

u can take a look at jishaku library as a cog extension

hey, this is a very simple and dumb question...

but I have been seeing places where the bot mentions the number of lines of code it has been written in.... any idea how can I do that too?

I can make the embed and stuff... I just wanna know how can i count the number if lines of code in a repo

oh i would really appreciate your guidance

like what?

i guess you pinged the wrong message 😄

[timber wren]

nah you prolly wanted to ping this one :P

bro I asked a diff question man

😭

[timber wren]

look at the whole message

i wasnt trynna answer you

Ffs

nvm

[slate swan]

you can just open the file using open and use readlines() to get the list of lines, then use len() on it

[timber wren]

alr, thats one method i know... but like is there any round the way i could do it for all files all together?

like cog files, json files and others?

[slate swan]

is the repo public

[timber wren]

no, its priv

[slate swan]

then you'll either have to use the Github API or loop manually on all the files yourself

[timber wren]

mhm alr

thanks :)

[tall temple]

how can i check if a string is a link ?

[slate swan]

use regex or just check if it has http:// or https:// in it

[tall temple]

i tested but it didn't work for me

check that

        if "http://" in info == True or "https://" in info == True :
            embed = discord.Embed(title = f"➜ `{method}` method informations :", description = f"> **Address / link :** [`{info}`]({info})\n> **(Extra) fee :** `{fee:,.2f}`\n> **Currency :** `{currency}`", color = 0x50468a)
            embed.set_footer(text = config["footer_txt"], icon_url = config['footer_img'] )
            await ctx.respond(embed = embed)

        else :
            embed = discord.Embed(title = f"➜ `{method}` method informations :", description = f"> **Address / link :** `{info}`\n> **(Extra) fee :** `{fee:,.2f}`\n> **Currency :** `{currency}`", color = 0x50468a)
            embed.set_footer(text = config["footer_txt"], icon_url = config['footer_img'] )
            await ctx.respond(embed = embed)

@slate swan

[slate swan]

what is the info variable

[tall temple]

it's the address / link

[slate swan]

yeaah there's issue with the logic

[tall temple]

yeah, as i see :/

is there any other method ?

[slate swan]

replace thsi py if "http://" in info == True or "https://" in info == True : with ```py
if ("http://" in info) or ( "https://" in info ):

!e ```py
info = "https://hey.com"
if ("http://" in info) or ( "https://" in info ):

I'm new to python & wondering if someone can provide me with a tutorial, series, or just some documents to help me with a particular thing I am trying to do. (currently at work. Please ping-reply for me to find later)

I am making a gaming/currency bot. Most of the commands come with a cooldown (currently using the @commands.cooldown() to accomplish)
What I am wanting to do is create a command that shows them every command they currently have on cooldown & how long it still is on cooldown.
I do have an error handler set up where if they use the command that is on cooldown, it tells them how long is left until off, but there is a lot of commands & i dont want users just spamming commands seeing what is off cooldown for them. @.@

huh ?

[slate swan]

idk why I'm getting this 🙄
things are working properly no error nothing
but why is this appearing

can someone help me with this?

[tall temple]

can i see your code ?

related with the selector

[slate swan]

which one?

I think it's bc of callback

[tall temple]

related with the selector

[slate swan]

how can I send a big piece of code here?

sorry i'm not enough competent for that

[tall temple]

me too 😹

[slate swan]

Thanks for the reply tho

[slate swan]

add some print statements in your callback and see what is what

[tall temple]

np 😹

[tall temple]

@slate swan could you help for that too ?

[slate swan]

Ok

Lemme try

[slate swan]

isnt that self explainatory

it could not find the folder

[tall temple]

yeah ik

but i used an if statement for that

[slate swan]

everything is fine

I'm getting desire output

[slate swan]

and where is the part checking length of the folder? above or below this

[slate swan]

what did you get?

but that red message still popping up

[tall temple]

i want to check if the folder exists

i already made the part checking the folder lenght and it's working

[slate swan]

on selecting values from dropdown and printing self.values[0]
i got

await edit_original_response(*, content=..., embeds=..., embed=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

self.values[0] or self.values

it makes difference

[slate swan]

you are checking first if length of the folder is higher than 0

and then you are checking if the folder even exists

[tall temple]

yeah

because with another cmd, i can delete the folder

that's why

[slate swan]

bro what

i just said

this makes no sense

thats like you would send message to channel and after trying to send it check if the channel exists

like that makes no sense

[tall temple]

wait

i'll test something

Hello, the slash commands of my Discord bots suddenly stop working. Does anyone have the same problem?

[fast anvil]

Hello. I have a very simple button for a discord bot. Using Replit & discord.py. Below is my code:

class Menu(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @discord.ui.button(label="Send Message", style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def menu1(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        print("Hit")
        await interaction.response.send_message("You Clicked Me!")


@bot.command()
async def menu(ctx):
    view = Menu()
    await ctx.reply(view=view)```

I am able to get the bot to display the button on the -menu command. However, when I click the button. I always get a "! This Interaction Failed" message. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to fix this. Any help?

[slate swan]

any error and why self.value = None?

[fast anvil]

Not sure. just trying every single way I find on the internet to do a discord button. but every single thing comes out the same way

a button displays but on click I get no response

[slate swan]

remove the self.value none its unnecessary

[sick birch]

Do you see Hit printed out in your console?

[slate swan]

also i assume you use discordpy, have you imported it correctly?

[fast anvil]

nope

[sick birch]

So the callback itself is not getting called. Strange

[slate swan]

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

try this example and see if it works

[fast anvil]

I have lots of other commands that work fine. just not a button

[fast anvil]

I'm actually on that git rn. haven't tried it. I'm reinstalling python to be able to pip install python discord.py v2

[slate swan]

wait you dont have v2?

[fast anvil]

unless replit imported it. I wouldn't know. I went into the replit packages and manually installed discord v2 and it didn't work

[slate swan]

you need v2 in order to use buttons

[fast anvil]

so i'm going to try to temporarily host it from my pc using vscode and install the correct packages and see if that works

didn't work with v2

i'm going to try with my pc at home. i've been trying from my work machine.

I'll send update

[drifting arrow]

hey guys. how do I change a server image? the little image on the left? but not this discord obviously, my discord

You must have [`manage_guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_guild "discord.Permissions.manage_guild") to edit the guild.

Changed in version 2.0: The newly updated guild is returned.

Changed in version 2.0: The `region` keyword parameter has been removed.

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

#discord-bots message

[jolly prism]

hi i want to learn the discord.py api... any advice on how to learn it?

[merry cliff]

just try making a bot

and if you choose to follow a tutorial, make sure its 1 year old max

and whenever you need help create a post in #1035199133436354600

[jolly prism]

hmm ok but idk how to start

ik coding though

[merry cliff]

well is there a specific type of bot you want to make?

[jolly prism]

but not the api

[merry cliff]

do you have discord.py installed?

[jolly prism]

yep

[merry cliff]

ok so what do u wanna make

[jolly prism]

i just want to try it out for fun as a way to practice coding...

but like how should i start learning an api

[merry cliff]

well each API is different

but for discord, you could start with a simple bot

a sort of hello world but in discord.py

let's move this into a thread to save space.

ok nvm no perms

first is to have all the correct imports

for a discord bot, you will want ```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

ok to start, create an instance of a bot

bot = commands.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.default(), command_prefix='!')

[jolly prism]

ok

[merry cliff]

edited bc i forgot

ok now the first function to create is something to let us know when the bot is online and ready.

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("bot is online")```

[jolly prism]

@bot.event()

[merry cliff]

correct!

[jolly prism]

something like that

on i know the basics of the api

[merry cliff]

ok tell me what you do know

for example do u know how to make a text command?

thats a command you call using a prefix

[smoky sinew]

well

[jolly prism]

@bot.command()
async def name(ctx):

[merry cliff]

ok

[smoky sinew]

you can't include the parenthesis there

[jolly prism]

eoh

[merry cliff]

do u know how to get a bot token?

[jolly prism]

ya

[merry cliff]

ok

[jolly prism]

developers portal

etc

[merry cliff]

so what would you like to learn?

cogs?

[jolly prism]

like any good resources to learn the discord api

from the beginning

[merry cliff]

the best way is to just make your own bot

and add random features

then you can teach yourself things (AKA google)

gtg toh

[jolly prism]

hmm ok practice makes perfect

[merry cliff]

Ye

I gtg but u can pm me if u run into anything

[thin trout]

hi, i created a ticket function in my bot but i want it to always be synced with the bot when he reboot so i don't have to do the ticket launch command again, is there a way?

[austere prairie]

You can sync inside setup_hook, but it isn't recommended

[thin trout]

so what can i do?

because its really annoying do the command every time i reboot the bot

[austere prairie]

It's not that bad

And you can use cogs instead, which you can reload without having to restart the bot every time you make a change

[thin trout]

with cogs i have to make an error handler cuz i can't see any errors in console while working

[smoky sinew]

no you don't..

[jolly prism]

thank you i appreciate it

[old ibex]

why would you have errors in the first place

[thin trout]

cuz im learnig py right now and i need to see the errors so i can try to fix it

[old ibex]

your console shows it?

with cogs i didn't get any errors

[old ibex]

This is in a cog. It shows fine.

Then ur cog isn't setup right

[thin trout]

i know

but i don't have the required skills to setup up a cog correctly

[old ibex]

# Top of file.

i used that code

    await bot.add_cog(TheNameYouPut(bot))```

[thin trout]

but in console i didn't get any errors

i followed a lot of guides and tutorial but in none of them i get a fix for the errors in console

[old ibex]

# main file
extensions = ("commands.misc", "commands.ready", "commands.filename",)
bot = commands.Bot(

[thin trout]

ill try

thanks 😄

[smoky sinew]

mmm

extension file

[old ibex]

hot

[fervent shoal]

yoooo so for some reason when i try to make a simple bot, the discord in import discord shows missing imports, but i literaly just reinstalled discord.py

[brazen raft]

Why an event? I mean, I know it just sets it as an attribute, but why not do just that in the first place? It does a little more than setting it as an attribute

[vocal snow]

The error has a paragraph right there that explains it

[vale wing]

What's your code

Ah yes naming Bot instance client

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop use this for background loops @slate swan

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

Similar names: pycord.discord.ext.tasks.loop

[vale wing]

Examples upper on that page

Good practice is to name instance of commands.Bot bot and Client client

Those examples are pretty easy to understand aren't they

I mean it's like 3 lines of actual code

@tasks.loop(minutes=5)
async def your_task():
    ...

your_task.start()```

Whatever you need to be executed in your loop

Soon I'm taking off the bus so can't guarantee to be available

You messed up the structure

Looks like a python beginner to me

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

Such common "doubts" can be prevented if you know and understand basics which you can learn anywhere

Function indents are pretty basic

[lyric halo]

someone help me btw

[slate swan]

For anyone who owns/is a developer for a Discord bot:

How were you able to grow it? Did you use server listing sites and got people to vote for your bot, Im in need for some help haha

[tawny tapir]

You have to be lucky

That's it

[slate swan]

Lucky as in what?

Just lucky in general

[tawny tapir]

Luck in general, there's thousands of bots out there. Ofc you can promote it, that's always a good thing to do, but your bot also has to be intuitive to use

Most popular bots have been out there for years, It's hard to grow your bot because there's probably another bot that does the same thing as yours and it's way more known than yours

[lean willow]

Sorry late reply (and ping if you don't like them), but thank you so much!
This should help me get what I want done, done.

[hazy vault]

Guys I need help with this problem

What does this problem mean

[austere prairie]

replit isn't installing the module for some reason
you shouldn't need it anyway, discord.py supports slash commands / message components natively now

[hazy vault]

k thank

[grizzled wraith]

`import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
channel = discord.utils.get(member.guild.text_channels, name="welcome") # Change "welcome" to the name of the channel you want to send the welcome message to
embed = discord.Embed(title=f"Welcome to {member.guild.name}!", description=f"{member.mention} has joined the server.", color=discord.Color.green())
embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)
await channel.send(embed=embed)
`

chatgpt generated it but I'm getting an error

Member' object has no attribute 'avatar_url'

[lyric halo]

lol dont use gpt then

it is outdated by over 2 years

[grizzled wraith]

ok but what's the correct attribute?

[fast anvil]

@bot.command(name="profile")
async def profile(ctx, user: Member = None):

    if user == None:
        user = ctx.message.author

    inline = True
    embed = discord.Embed(title=user.name + "#" + user.discriminator,
                          color=discord.Color.green())
    userData = {
        "Mention": user.mention,
        "Nick": user.nick,
        "Created at": user.created_at.strftime("%b %d, %Y, %T"),
        "Joined at": user.joined_at.strftime("%b %d, %Y, %T"),
        "Server": user.guild,
        "Top role": user.top_role,
    }
    for [fieldName, fieldVal] in userData.items():
        embed.add_field(name=fieldName + ":", value=fieldVal, inline=inline)
    embed.set_footer(text=f'id: {user.id}')
    userAvatar = user.display_avatar
    embed.set_thumbnail(url=userAvatar.url)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

hope this can help you. this is a working -profile command

for this to work for me I had to import

from discord import Member```

[grizzled wraith]

so its user.display_avatar

.url

[fast anvil]

userAvatar = user.display_avatar
embed.set_thumbnail(url=userAvatar.url)

[slate swan]

True but I wont give up on my bot. Ill find something

[grizzled wraith]

so that still makes it user.display_avatar.url

right?

[radiant bough]

What do I use so that user can send both int and str at same time in the message, like user input is “I am 123”

[grizzled wraith]

i guess you could use split() on message.content and use a for loop to try type cast every word into an integer

code?

line 28 is causing issue

try using await with that line

😂

[austere prairie]

What is this for?

[grizzled wraith]

await client.loop.ch_pr()

[austere prairie]

Changing presence every 10 seconds?

1. You should avoid changing the bot presence very often, I think you can get ratelimited for that
2. Use discord.ext.tasks instead

The bot 'status' is called presence

[grizzled wraith]

@client.event async def on_member_join(member: Member):
is this legel? I imported Member from discord

[austere prairie]

You can change it, but it requires an API call each time you change it

[grizzled wraith]

how to use syntax higlighting here?

[austere prairie]

!code

[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.

[grizzled wraith]

thanks

[austere prairie]

I'm saying that you should avoid spamming the api with presence changes (and the api might even prevent you from making requests if you do it too much)

[grizzled wraith]

he just answered you

[austere prairie]

And don't try to make your own loop, use discord.py's own looping mechanism

[austere prairie]

Yes, are you getting an error?

[grizzled wraith]

I didn't run it yet, was curious

[austere prairie]

It should run fine

from discord.ext import tasks

...

@tasks.loop(seconds=10)
async def change_presence():
    ...
```thats how it works iirc

You should probably look up the proper documentation for it though

You just need to keep the ch_pr function

[tall temple]

how can i make message edit interaction for a message button ? :

class pm(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="Litecoin", emoji = "![litecoin](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1100484173719945286.webp?size=128 "litecoin")", style = discord.ButtonStyle.blurple))
        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="Bitcoin", emoji = "![bitcoin](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1100484215780425789.webp?size=128 "bitcoin")", style = discord.ButtonStyle.red))

@bot.slash_command(name = "testtt", description = "")
async def donatetomedra(ctx) :
    embed = discord.Embed(title = "test", description = "retest", color = 0x50468a)
    embed.set_footer(text = config["footer_txt"], icon_url = config['footer_img'] )
    await ctx.respond(embed = embed, view = pm())

about what

i'm playing 💀

playing

something 😹

[austere prairie]

Which module are you using?

[tall temple]

pycord

[austere prairie]

I've only used d.py before, but I think it should be similar

[tall temple]

stop spamming dude

[austere prairie]

Basically, store ctx as an attribute in the View subclass and use that to edit it when the buttons get pressed

You can add callbacks for buttons like this: ```py
class pm(discord.ui.View):
...
@discord.ui.button( ... )
async def foo(self):
...

[tall temple]

could you give me syntax for edit message interaction ?

[grizzled wraith]

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member: Member):
    channel = discord.utils.get(member.guild.text_channels, name="welcome")
    backgroud = Editor("pic1.jpg").resize((800,450)) 
    profile_image = await load_image_async(str(member.display_avatar))
    profile = Editor(profile_image).resize((150,150)).circle_image()
    poppins= Font.poppins(size=50,variant="bold")
    poppins_small = Font.poppins(size=25, variant="light")
    backgroud.paste(profile,(325,90))
    backgroud.ellipse((325,90), 150, 150, outline="white",stroke_width=5)
    backgroud.text((400,260), f"WELCOME TO {member.guild.name}", color="white",font=poppins, align="center")

    file = File(fp=backgroud.image_bytes, filename="pic1.jpg")
    await channel.send(f"HELLO {member.mention}! WELCOME TO {member.guild.name}")
    await channel.send(file=file)

    profile_image = await load_image_async(str(member.display_avatar))
    profile = Editor(profile_image).resize((150,150)).circle_image()
    poppins= Font.poppins(size=50,variant="bold")
    poppins_small = Font.poppins(size=25, variant="light")
    backgroud.paste(profile,(325,90))
    backgroud.ellipse((325,90), 150, 150, outline="white",stroke_width=5)
    backgroud.text((400,260), f"{member.guild.name} HAS LEFT THE SERVER", color="white",font=poppins, align="center")
    file2 = File(fp=backgroud.image_bytes, filename="pic1.jpg")
    await channel.send(file=file2)

I'm being rate limited by discord on my test account

if a variable isn't assigned, can you use something like ```py

just checked, that does not work

[austere prairie]

I'm not sure, pycord does interactions differently from d.py

[tall temple]

oh

and if i want to disable it when someone will click on it ?

[austere prairie]

Oh wait, you receive the button and interaction in the callback

You can use it to modify the button in the callback: ```py

[gleaming shore]

Im trying to split up my functions and bot.command() in diffferent files, but when I place my function definitions in a different file and import all the files in each other so they are connected it still doesnt seem to work for me, only when I put everything in one file. Does anyone have like a video to help me out or knows how it works ?

[austere prairie]

You have to use cogs to refactor commands into separate files

[gleaming shore]

Im pretty new to the discord bot thingy, what are cogs exactly?

you see in the def

I called the functions file

it tells me that it should work but doesnt

I tried with the bot and it also gave me the same options

[austere prairie]

What tells you it should work?

[gleaming shore]

https://www.section.io/engineering-education/how-to-store-your-python-functions-into-modules/

I was taking a look at this

[gleaming shore]

Is that not the same concept?

[fierce valve]

I am facing this error pls someone help me

I am a beginner or this is a code of my friend

[austere prairie]

Not really, decorators have to be applied when the function is defined so it isn't as easy as just importing it

[gleaming shore]

damn okay, do you have a source where I can read about the part you mentioned or video ?

unless you dont mind explaining it

[austere prairie]

I'll try to find one

[gleaming shore]

I appreciate that!

[austere prairie]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html this is the official docs for it

[gleaming shore]

wait I think I just found a fix

these are in a separete file

I called this in the main file

from functions import add_vectors, subtract_vectors

but im guessing this is gonna be unefficient in the long-run ?

[austere prairie]

No, that's how you're supposed to use imports

[gleaming shore]

before I only imported 'functions' perhaps thats why it didnt work

but then why would I want to use "cogs" rather than just do it that way ?

[austere prairie]

discord.py uses decorators (i.e. @something before the function) which doesn't work with imoorts

[tall temple]

not working

[gleaming shore]

but it just did ?

I have @eternal girder

or is that not what you mean ?

[austere prairie]

Are you sure that's how it works for pycord?

[austere prairie]

And you can click on it multiple times?

[tall temple]

yeah i saw in the pycord docs, it's the same

but it's not working for me

[austere prairie]

If you try to move a bot command to a separate file, you won't be able to use the @bot.command() decorator

[gleaming shore]

oh

so what so you mean cogs is a replacement for the @ part ? which is more efficient ?

[austere prairie]

Cogs let you group a collection of bot commands / event handlers / etc. and load/unload them at once

[tall temple]

@austere prairie

[austere prairie]

If you have a cog in a separate file, you can import that cog and load the cog to load the commands inside of iy

[austere prairie]

Define 'not working'

[tall temple]

the button is not disabled after i clicked on the button

[austere prairie]

Is the text changing?

[gleaming shore]

and now VectorCog contains all of that ?

[tall temple]

nop

[austere prairie]

Yes, now VectorCog contains those commands

[austere prairie]

Idk what's wrong with it then 🤷‍♂️

[gleaming shore]

that is gorgeous

do you think I should have the functions definitions and command "mains" in the same file or is it better to separete them into differnet cogs aswell? what is most optimal for bigger projects?

Im planning to make a math bot that calculates linear algebra calculations with vectors,matrices,gaussiuan eleminations etc

[austere prairie]

Cool

[austere prairie]

I like to keep the main file quite minimal, with just 1 command to load/unload cogs

[gleaming shore]

you have a bot of your own? what does it do ?

[austere prairie]

I haven't worked on it in a while, it was mostly a bunch of small, silly things combined together

[gleaming shore]

I just wanted to make something that there isnt much of and something having to do with my classes haha

it's actually a fun thing to try out just gotta learn more about the discord library

[vernal folio]

My discord. Py bot not reading dm reaction, I tried several things but it still not reading, he reading his own reaction but not mine

Plz help

[gleaming shore]

@austere prairie

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from bot import TOKEN
from VectorCog import VectorCog

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', intents=intents)

@bot.event 
async def on_ready():
    print("I'm online!")

bot.add_cog(VectorCog(bot))

bot.run(TOKEN)

what am I missing? once I did this now I cant call the commands ?add 1,2,3 1,2,3

[glad cradle]

what's your version of d.py?

[gleaming shore]

2.2.2

why?

[glad cradle]

if you're using the latest version of discord.py Bot.add_cog is a coroutine, this means that it needs to be awaited, you should be getting a warning

yeah

[gleaming shore]

is that why its not working ?

[glad cradle]

yes

[gleaming shore]

does this fix it ? ```py
import tracemalloc
tracemalloc.start()

[glad cradle]

no

[gleaming shore]

then how do I fix it

[glad cradle]

something like this should work

import asyncio

...

asyncio.run(bot.add_cog(VectorCog(bot)))
bot.run(...)

though it's preferable to do things using a main function

[gleaming shore]

cant I do that in the main function ?

[glad cradle]

yes you can

no

[gleaming shore]

but it just worked

damn it actually worked

[glad cradle]

ah didn't see the main function

you can put the add_cog inside main too

[glad cradle]

awaiting it

[gleaming shore]

what main function are you referring to

[glad cradle]

start_bot

[gleaming shore]

ohh, why would I want to add_cog in there?

like what does it change

[glad cradle]

should be faster than running it with asyncio.run

[gleaming shore]

import asyncio
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from bot import TOKEN
from VectorCog import VectorCog

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', intents=intents)

async def start_bot():
    await bot.start(TOKEN)
    bot.add_cog(VectorCog(bot))

@bot.event 
async def on_ready():
    print("I'm online!")

asyncio.run(bot.add_cog(VectorCog(bot)))
asyncio.run(start_bot())

Like so ?

[glad cradle]

import asyncio
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from bot import TOKEN
from VectorCog import VectorCog

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', intents=intents)

async def start_bot():
    await bot.add_cog(VectorCog(bot)) 
    await bot.start(TOKEN)

@bot.event 
async def on_ready():
    print("I'm online!")

asyncio.run(start_bot())

[gleaming shore]

yeah thank you, I was gonna say I cannt add it inside startbot because its asynchronus function that will start the bot and should only handle the startup process

thank you alot for the help!

[glad cradle]

you're welcome

[steady flume]

how to get bot command ? for example i wanna make help command where member can write command name and bot will show info (aliases, name, brief) about this command

[fierce valve]

Can someone help me ??

[idle palm]

Hi

I set up my raspberry pi and im not too sure how to set it up to host my py file 24/7

[slate swan]

in discord.ui dropdown select
I just want this placeholder to change it's value to the selected value

super().__init__(
            placeholder="More", min_values=1, max_values=1, options=options
        )

how to do that?

[eager bronze]

I use screen, which will allow you to run your Python file in the background even if you disconnect from your Raspberry Pi

this is what I did "sudo apt install screen"

[idle palm]

I will look into it, thank you v much

[eager bronze]

no problem

[smoky sinew]

i would probably make a systemd service

[smoky sinew]

that's not what a placeholder does

[hushed galleon]

^ this is what i do too, ive got mine to restart on exit code 0 + daily because there's a memory leak i couldnt be arsed to find

[thin raft]

Any ideas on how to give a role for a month?

[smoky sinew]

perhaps the same way you would implement a moderation or reminder system

store the duration in the database and use asyncio sleep

[thin raft]

hmm

why asyncio .sleep?

if the bot restarts i will loose it right

[smoky sinew]

https://github.com/python-discord/bot-core/blob/main/pydis_core/utils/scheduling.py

i never figured out how this worked

[weary isle]

hey can someone help

Here is my code i need help because my discord bot is not responding to my commands https://github.com/KEKAAAAAAAA/discord-bot.git

[smoky sinew]

i do not have access to that

but do you have message content intent and process_commands in your message event listener?

[torn sail]

in the callback function, you can set self.placeholder = self.values[0] and then edit the message with the updated view

!d discord.ui.Select.callback

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Select.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.

Similar names: pycord.discord.ui.Select.callback

[vocal snow]

Sync them globally

No need for the copy_global_to

And you use commands.Bot when you want to use the commands extension for command parsing / cogs / extensions etc

[jolly prism]

hi im new to discord.py how do i start learning the module from the beginning like any resources etc

[swift trench]

Docs

[plucky sun]

please sand a ticket system. I'm very stuck

[vocal snow]

What are you stuck on?

[plucky sun]

I get error after error

[vocal snow]

Ok, send the error here so we can help solve it

Also, it would be a good idea to make sure you are comfortable with basic python if you arent

We can give resources for that if you need

[plucky sun]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/izikabofur It's not exactly a bug, I just don't know how to do it with buttons

[vocal snow]

Are you trying to send the view to the ticket channel?

[plucky sun]

Yes

[vocal snow]

Just pass it to channel.send

To the view kwarg

[jolly prism]

Are there any simpler resources for notes or something

Or something which explains it

[slate swan]

Not really. You need an understanding of basic python before even starting to work with discord.py

[smoky sinew]

true

[jolly prism]

Can you send a link with what I should start with

[jolly prism]

Ik basic python

[slate swan]

With doing anything discord.py related you should reference the docs https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[slate swan]

will sqlite3 be enough for 40-50 servers ?

how time consuming will it be to scale it to something like mysql or postgresql

[vocal snow]

Easily, assuming you aren't storing an absurd amount of data for each server

[vocal snow]

Depends on how you write your code

If you write proper abstractions, you should be able to plug-in/plug-out the database connector of choice with minimal effort

You could also consider using an ORM to do that for you

[jolly prism]

Which one should I start on

[vocal snow]

What are you trying to make?

[jolly prism]

A discord bot

[vocal snow]

Awesome, and do you want it to have slash commands?

Or normal commands?

Perhaps no commands and you only want some events?

[jolly prism]

Slash

[vocal snow]

Cool, you can check out: https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f

And the Interactions reference in the docs if you need to lookup a specific class/function

[jolly prism]

Ya but I’m learning the module itself

[vocal snow]

You can also see the quick start: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

[jolly prism]

So like from where should I start out of these

[vocal snow]

You could start from anywhere. It isn't in a particular order

[jolly prism]

I don’t know the module yet to code slash commands I would say

Ok

[vocal snow]

That's the Interactions Reference

Specifically discord.app_commands

[jolly prism]

Any order you would recommend

[vocal snow]

If you're trying to learn the workings in detail, first stop would be the discord dev portal

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands

[jolly prism]

I’m going to sleep is it ok if I ask for help in the morning ?

[vocal snow]

Yes, there's always someone in this channel usually

[thin raft]

Can you create commands without decorators?

[vocal snow]

Yes

Decorators are just functions

And you can always instantiate a Command and add it with bot.add_command

[slate swan]

how can I remove a slash command.

[white citrus]

    @nc.slash_command(name="avatar", description=f"Shows you an avatar of a member!")
    async def avatar(self, inter: Interaction,
                     member: Member = SlashOption(name="member", description=f"Please select a member"),
                     show_message: bool = SlashOption(name="hidden", description="Would you like to make the message only visible to you?", required=False, autocomplete=bool)):
        
        
             
        f_member = member or inter.user

        message_delete_time = 25
           
        #Embeds
        noavatar = Embed(description=f"{config.DiscordError} This member has no avatar!", colour=config.dark_red)
        
        try:
            m_av = f_member.avatar
            re = Embed(title=f"Avatar from {f_member}", description=f"Here is the avatar of {config.DiscordMembersEmoji} {f_member.display_name}")
            re.set_image(url=m_av)
            await inter.response.send_message(view=MAV(inter, f_member), embed=re, delete_after=message_delete_time)
        except:
            await inter.response.send_message(embed=noavatar, ephemeral=show_message)```
Why isn't the message ephemeral

[vocal snow]

!dashmpip

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

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

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

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

[vocal snow]

Also it looks like urlscanio is supposed to be a command line tool, are you sure you can embed it in your code?

[fading linden]

hwo do you avoid geting rate limited? i have a private bot that i use, i dont even use it that much but i kept getting rate limited for some reason

[vocal snow]

Are you using replit?

[fading linden]

its on a bot hosting service

[vocal snow]

Which?

[fading linden]

sparkedhost

[vocal snow]

No clue about that unfortunately

[fading linden]

the error that comes up is discord.errors.HTTPException: 429 Too Many Requests

i mean i am using the requests librarty

[vocal snow]

It's possible they're using shared systems for multiple users

You should not be using requests along with discord.py

Use aiohttp instead

But the error is not related to that

[fading linden]

why is that

[vocal snow]

Because it's not async

[fading linden]

parts of my command uses GET for retrieving info
maybe its time to have a copy of all of those locally

[fading linden]

aiohttp is?
