Async

It's what discord.py uses for http

[fading linden]

i should move to that then

[vocal snow]

!d aiohttp

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp

Common data structures used by aiohttp internally...

[fading linden]

im just wonderign why

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean

[fading linden]

also you're on the spot
magician

[vale wing]

Is it paid

[fading linden]

yes
albeit i purchased the dirt cheap one
maybe time to upgrade

[vale wing]

To upgrade to VPS

Hosting services are aids

[fading linden]

at least i can transfer it to a less congested line

[fading linden]

its a private bot for now
when i make it public ill have better solutions for it

[vale wing]

Anyways in case you'll be migrating to VPS (you eventually will) here's hosting guide https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/

[fading linden]

thank you
have a cookie 🍪

[vale wing]

If it's private and already getting ratelimited the hosting is questionable ||thanks for the cookie||

[fading linden]

this is my first bot hosting experience, so in a way yea its not great but i get to learn about it

[vale wing]

[fading linden]

team's there pretty quick to answer to my concerns so thats also a plus

i was more concerned that my code is probably doing some unnecessary stuff, since im also not a pro coder/coder by trade

im just fascinated that i can do things conveniently from my phone

[gleaming marsh]

Can you use a non bot discord account to upload files as well?

[vocal snow]

what do you mean by that?

that button lets you upload files

[gleaming marsh]

I have been able to use a bot to send files in a server but was wondering if i can do it without a discord bot

[vocal snow]

you could use a webhook

[gleaming marsh]

I send memes to my friend via dms and sometimes it is a lot 😅 so i wanted to automate it

[vocal snow]

that isn't possible

[gleaming marsh]

what about in a server

[vocal snow]

you could use a webhook in a server

[gleaming marsh]

where can i learn that?

[vocal snow]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#webhook-resource
https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#execute-webhook
(and if you want to avoid making the requests yourself; https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Webhook.from_url)

[gleaming marsh]

alright!

[vocal snow]

you can create a webhook by going to a text channel's settings -> Integrations

you can also do that with a bot, but that would defeat the purpose i suppose

[gleaming marsh]

Yeah thanks zeffo!

[sacred plume]

I'm trying to count online, idle and dnd members. Any ideas why the lists are blank ?

@loop(seconds=statscooldownamount)
async def checkonlinemembers():
    try:
        guild = bot.get_guild(guildID)
        online_members = []
        idle_members = []
        dnd_members = []
        for member in guild.members:
            if member.status == discord.Status.online:
                online_members.append(member)
            elif member.status == discord.Status.idle:
                idle_members.append(member)
            elif member.status == discord.Status.dnd:
                dnd_members.append(member)
        
        print(online_members)
        print(idle_members)
        print(dnd_members)

all lists

[stray mural]

maybe its an intent issue, u can fix that by adding

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="{ur prefix here}", intents=intents)
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

all intents to ur bot

[sacred plume]

ohh so that's what i missed. I had Intents.default() instead of all

thanks!

[stray mural]

np

[sinful thistle]

guys

wassup

[thin trout]

i want to create a slash command but i can't import app_commands from discord, can someone help me?

[vale wing]

TypeError: Unsupported operand type(s) +: 'discord.Client' and 're.Pattern'```

How to solv

[vale wing]

Last version of dpy installed?

[vale wing]

You need specifically presences intent

[thin trout]

yes

[vale wing]

Do pip show discord.py

[outer viper]

Hi im currently developing a discord bot but i get into a problem, is there anyone who have a little experince with it?

[thin trout]

and i what i have to do after that?

[vale wing]

What output do you have

[vale wing]

What the problem is

[vale wing]

Okay seems correct, maybe venv issue

What interpreter do you have configured in vscode

[outer viper]

ohm so i tried to check on my other python file on my on_message function if it is an actual bot and its id is =123456 etc and apparently doesnt rlly want work

[thin trout]

python

[outer viper]

so everytime my first bot sends a message onto my channel i want the second bot in dif file reply to that message with anything like a "hi" message

[vale wing]

You can if message's author is bot with msg.author.bot

Assuming msg is your parsed Message

[hazy vault]

Guys I'm trying to install discord_components library in REPLIT but for some reason I can't

[vale wing]

Could you do ctrl + shift + p -> Python: Select Interpreter and show the list to me

[vale wing]

Outdated, use discord.py 2

[outer viper]

is it possible to hop on a vc and i can show my screen im sure it might be some simple mistake but i have been tried +4 hours and previously also a lot

[vale wing]

Sorry can't really do that

[vale wing]

Python: Select Interpreter

The list from there

[hazy vault]

CAN I USE IT IN REPLIT

[vale wing]

Discord.py yes

[hazy vault]

HOW

[vale wing]

Is your shift broken

[thin trout]

said failed

[vale wing]

Open up that terminal or command line whatever it's called in replit and do poetry add discord.py

[outer viper]

so this is how my on_message function look like:

bot1 = commands.Bot(command_prefix=':', intents=intents)

@bot1.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == bot1.user:
return

#1092844660235440309

if (message.author.id == "393841441656406026" or message.author.id == "1092844660235440309") and (message.author != bot1.user):
    print("Other bot sent a message!")
    await message.channel.send('Igaz ag a norman ideju nem bela user kuldte az uzit')
else:
    await message.channel.send('Hi hamis ag')

await bot1.process_commands(message)

but everytime i type anything on channel it goes the else branch (thats normal) but when i make the other file's bot to write onto my channel sth it still goes there (but i want to go the true branc that time)

[vale wing]

🧐

But you seem to have python installed

Is python extension enabled

Oh heck there are now headers in discrod???

[thin trout]

yes

[vale wing]

Bro this is wild

[hazy vault]

Can you explain, I'm still a newbie

[vale wing]

Uh that's kinda weird let's figure it out

[outer viper]

?

[thin trout]

i have to go work now, can we do it tomorrow if you want

[outer viper]

@vale wing do you know the problem?

[hazy vault]

Do you mean my problem?

[outer viper]

no

[hazy vault]

K SORRY

[vale wing]

Your condition needs to be like this

if message.author.bot:
    return

For comparison with exactly your bot

if message.author.id == bot.user.id

[outer viper]

yes i did this

apperently the mistake i have made is that i tried to find the other's bot id (i wrote it by the bot then i copied from my discord server) both were different from each other

and apparently i guess not even one of them was correct so it was a bit of riculous now im trying with the name attribute

well i have no clue how to get the discord bots id (i thought i could ) but well with name it work

[solar coyote]

class Prot(discord.ui.View):
    response1=None

    def __init__(self, users:list):
        super().__init__(timeout=10)
        self.users1=users
        

    @discord.ui.select(
        max_values=1,

    async def on_timeout(self): 
        self.disabled = True
        await self.message.edit(view=self)
        print("TIMEDOUT")

self object has on attribute message

how to fix

[steel loom]

Can you use RPC for bots?

[small crag]

how would i go about turning hours & minutes into unix as well?

@client.command()
async def timetest(ctx, *, message):

  s = message
  f = time.mktime(datetime.datetime.strptime(s, "%d/%m/%Y").timetuple())
  d = round(int(f))
  await ctx.send(f"<t:{d}>")```
this code turns d/m/y into a timestamp but you cannot specify the exact time in hours & minutes

[old ibex]

What do you mean by that?

[small crag]

so i can tell it a date

in dmy format

but i cant tell it an exact time either (hours & minutes)

so like lets say 4/29/23 18:00

it wouldnt take the last part of the input (18:00)

[naive briar]

What

[silent ermine]

So from my knowledge you would want to use %H:%M I believe to get the hour and minute.

[sterile terrace]

anyone know how to add paywall to a discord bot (crypto only)

[smoky sinew]

not related to discord bots and you would probably want a global check

[sterile terrace]

how so

[smoky sinew]

?

[sterile terrace]

i’m asking a genuine question

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean by 'how so'

[sterile terrace]

^ @smoky sinew

[smoky sinew]

?

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[uneven imp]

Gotta serious question about discord bots in python

[sterile terrace]

besides that is there any other way

[uneven imp]

How do I make them

[sterile terrace]

i’m using a whole different wrapper

[smoky sinew]

then what do you want me to say

is it hikari you're using

[sterile terrace]

ya

but i’m just looking for recommendations for adding a paywall to it

preferably crypto

[smoky sinew]

how is that related to discord bots

[sterile terrace]

because i’m wanting to add it to my bot

[smoky sinew]

that doesn't make it related

i don't know anything about crypto

and implementation varies widely on the crypto you're using

[gusty flax]

R u asking the way to incorporate it with the layout of sending that. Or what to use.

[sterile terrace]

what to use for it

[sullen shoal]

discord api is all about the websocket protocol, and ratelimits for which you could work around by exponential backoffs and stuff, but wrappers like discordpy, hikari, handles all that for you, so just learn Python, visit their maintained git repo, see the examples, and see what each of their those methods do in the documentation of the wrapper

[teal swan]

Hay guys, can someone tell my why its gray?, i cant use it in PyCharm

[sullen shoal]

why do you need that obscure module at all?

there's no need for monkey patching anymore, Danny had decided to take back his decisions and implement the newer API versions of Discord API in Discord.py module

[teal swan]

because i want to use embed buttons

[sullen shoal]

are you following a tutorial?

[teal swan]

nah i following chatgpt xD

[sullen shoal]

chatgpt's dataset is limited to 2021, a lot has changed since then

[teal swan]

i see xD

[sullen shoal]

if you want to build a decent discord bot and not waste your time for very basic one that nobody anymore really cares about, you'll need to know what you're doing, so go through http://docs.python.org/tutorial
once that's done, see the docs of the discordpy module

also see https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples

[teal swan]

thx ❤️

but one question i have.. how can i do commands from main to commands class.. if i start it dont works

[teal swan]

FR if i know that earlier i never asked ChatGPT for it.. i spent 7 hours for nothing..

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

x == y Checks if two embeds are equal.

Hey there guys, i have 2 files main.py and colors.py. In the second i have a function that contains a dictionary and returns it unpacked. So in the first file i import this function and i want to use it for format a string. But i get a KeyError

This is my code:

# colors.py

class TerminalColors:
    header = '\033[95m'
    purple = '\033[0;35m'
    blue = '\033[94m'
    cyan = '\033[96m'
    green = '\033[92m'
    red = '\033[91m'
    orange = '\033[93m'
    yellow = '\033[0;33m'
    bold = '\033[1m'
    underline = '\033[4m'
    end = '\033[0m'


def get_colorsformat():
    color_vars = {
        'header': f'{TerminalColors.header}',
        'purple': f'{TerminalColors.purple}',
        'blue': f'{TerminalColors.blue}',
        'cyan': f'{TerminalColors.cyan}',

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.

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

there is delete_after argument you can specify

delete_after (float) – If provided, the number of seconds to wait in the background before deleting the message we just sent. If the deletion fails, then it is silently ignored.

[plucky sun]

where to put it?

        error1 = "Липсва таг на човека, който искате да забраните !"
        fix1 = "`!ban @(таг на човека) (Причината за забраната)`"
        emb1 = discord.Embed(title='! ‖ ERROR ‖ !',colour=discord.Colour.dark_red())

        await ctx.send(embed=emb1)
        await asyncio.sleep(3)
        await ctx.message.delete()```

[slate swan]

i dont know which message you want to delete

when you use .send you specify delete_after argument

what the bot sends

thats argument not a function do you know what argument is?

no 😅

I got a script right here but its not working as its supposed to so```


https://paste.pythondiscord.com/utunojunox

[slate swan]

first of all you shouldnt use discord_slash its really outdated since discord.py has slash commands support built in already

[young pendant]

so, what should I use then?

[slate swan]

here are examples

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py

if you want to do Report command available under Apps section when clicking on a message you should use client.tree.context_menu

this is example of such context menu

Any good guides for making a Discord bot that utilises slash commands and embeds? Ideally text but I don't mind a video

[smoky sinew]

appreciate the quick response, tyvm

[short silo]

is there any way to send images with nsfw tag with url in an embed ?

[short silo]

on the same topic,

@smoky sinew

Sorry for the ping but it's just so you know it's here but it's kinda urgent , so whenever you have time lemme know.

[smoky sinew]

i'm pretty sure spoilered images just prepend spoiler to the file name

e.g. SPOILER_image.png

as for the URL part, i'm not sure

[short silo]

Yes, but i am providing it as a url which doesn't have a spoiler in the name

[short silo]

I see

I will just go the long way

Thanks for the input

                    file = discord.File(file, filename=f"SPOILER_Imagination.{end}")
        embed.set_image(url=f"attachment://SPOILER_Imagination.{end}")
        await ctx.followup.send(embed=embed,file=file)

so the file name is SPOILER_Imagination.jpg in this particular case, and in an embed, it doesnt work, although i havent tried without embed either

[smoky sinew]

idk what doesn't work means

[short silo]

it doesnt have the spoiler tag

so that the image is hidden

thats for text

[smoky sinew]

async with bot.http_session.get(IMAGE_URL) as response:
    with io.BytesIO(await response.read()) as data:
        file = discord.File(data, filename="SPOILER_test.jpeg")
        await ctx.send(file=file)

this worked for me

[short silo]

try embed

[smoky sinew]

what you're doing won't work because SPOILER_Imagination isn't saved locally

i don't know if there's a way to set an embed image to a BytesIO object but i will check

actually wait

ah wait you don't need to do that

[short silo]

[smoky sinew]

sorry i have no clue how to work with discord files

[short silo]

so ?

[smoky sinew]

i wouldn't merge tkinter and discord.py code if i were you but you can't use while True with a running event loop

[smoky sinew]

well you're not doing anything as of right now

the function is not even being called anywhere

then i'm not sure

like i said i don't think tkinter will work or work well with a running discord bot

[naive briar]

Why not

hey guys, im trying to get entries on a table with aiosqlite and its returning empty messages,

            """Appends the avatar url from the database table by joining them together."""
            fetch = []

        except Exception as e:
            return e```

i checked the data in the table and they are all there, not sure what to do

@smoky sinew do you know how to solve this issue?

[smoky sinew]

why did you ping me

!sql-fstrings also look at this

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings

Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also
• Python sqlite3 docs - How to use placeholders to bind values in SQL queries
• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

[smoky sinew]

and check if the case is correct because your database may or may not be case sensitive

[sullen shoal]

My discord is all about esports tournaments, managed entirely through discord. I want my bot's tournament timer to work even after bot restarts, so I am saving unix time of the specified start time of the tournament to my database of-course. My plan was to have some asyncio tasks on bot startup, and on adding a new tournament, that'd do asyncio.sleep until the current time is the unix timestamp that is in my database. However, I think I'd need something more efficient this time, as I'd also like to offer them the feature to cancel/stop/remove a tournament. Any idea?

okay, I think I am just looking for asyncio.Task.cancel lol

[summer jacinth]

hello

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop perhaps

[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]

If you're doing background tasks in dpy it's best method in most cases

[sullen shoal]

yeah, I could probably workaround with tasks.Loop class as well, however, it is more geared towards background loops rather than tasks, so it can get restrictive

like doing count=1

[vale wing]

If you don't need ws connection ie receiving events you can just use requests module and simply do requests to discord API from your tkinter app

Would want to use executor tho

[hazy vault]

what's wrong

I am using version 3.9.7

[rugged shadow]

use package cookies-discord-components instead

but I should note that you should use discord.py 2.x or some other fork instead of some very old library

just don't use relative imports lmao

show me the line where you're importing that fails

show the file structure

[austere prairie]

How are you executing the code?

How are you running that file?

Yeah

Maybe try invoking as a module instead?

[solar coyote]

class NumberChoice(discord.ui.Modal, title="Select the number"):
    def __init__(self):
        self.result_list=[]
        super().__init__(timeout=30, custom_id="select_num")
    number=discord.ui.TextInput(label="Enter your Number", max_length=3)

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: Interaction):
        self.result_list.append([interaction.user,self.number.value[0]])
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{interaction.user} chose the number {self.number.value[0]}", ephemeral=True)
        self.result_list.append([interaction.user,self.number.value[0]])
        client.mismatch_result[interaction.guild.id]=self.result_list
        print(client.mismatch_result[interaction.guild.id])

why does this code add only the last person who replied and not all the users who answered?

[terse hawk]

@client.command()
async def clear(ctx):
    if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
            args = ctx.content.split()
            if len(args) == 1:
                
                await ctx.channel.purge(limit=10)
            else:

                except ValueError:
                     print("ValueError!")

Why does the /clear command not worrk

it hhasnt any problems but the bot wont Delete the messages

[tall temple]

how to get members count of a server where the bot is

[steady flume]

how to activate button in other class in v.2 ?
i try this:

assert self.view is not None

self.view.children[0].disabled = False

it doesnt work (if so i have only one button)

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Guild.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.member\_count

property member_count```
Returns the member count if available.

Warning

Due to a Discord limitation, in order for this attribute to remain up-to-date and accurate, it requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") to be specified.

Changed in version 2.0: Now returns an `Optional[int]`.

[hazy vault]

It didn't work

[hazy vault]

[austere prairie]

You already have d.py v2 though?

d.py natively supports components/slash commands now

[hazy vault]

But what is the solution

[austere prairie]

Use discord.py instead of cookies-discord-components or whatever

[hazy vault]

do you mean this

[slate swan]

yes that is what they said

[tall temple]

yo

could you give me a syntax to restrict the command to people who have a specific role in a specific guild

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.has_role

[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...

[slate swan]

does bot.add_check() work with slash commands?

if not how do I add checks for slash commands (disnake)

also why can't I find a slash command example on their repository

i swear it existed

[slate swan]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/tree/master/examples/interactions

am I blind because I can't see it there... is it supposed to be what's inside subcmd.py?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/interactions/param.py

[quick gust]

or does it not have a separate file of its own

i think thats the case

ty, that works

for global checks, i think youd want this

[final flame]

I need to take a look at a discord economy bot code using discord.py

[slow ether]

o Sorry

[formal basin]

I have been trying to make a anti toxicity thing and make a thing so they can’t bypass it and found something online but it doesn’t seem to work

[formal basin]

Anyone know?

[formal basin]

Anyone

[lyric sphinx]

Why are you even implementing multiple variations of each word but with different cases? Just .lower() or .upper() the message content and make a list according to that

you could also try using levenshtein distance

Anyways, is there a way to get discord rpc data from a user?

[lyric sphinx]

nvm, its activity. Though it'd be something related to rpc

[formal basin]

Where do I put the .upper()?

[lyric sphinx]

you use it on the message content to make it of 1 case

!e

print("TEST".lower())

[unkempt canyon]

@lyric sphinx :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

test

[formal basin]

What if they do it in lower?

[lyric sphinx]

why would it matter?

[formal basin]

Because they would bypass it

[lyric sphinx]

you make the string always the same case to not implement both versions of the word in your list

rn you're doing "X", "x"

but you can just .lower() and check for "x" or .upper() and check for "X"

[formal basin]

Can I do both?

[lyric sphinx]

why?

[formal basin]

If i do .lower() and they do an upper version will it get deleted?

[lyric sphinx]

thats the point?

[formal basin]

To delete the words

[lyric sphinx]

i didnt ask whats the point, i said thats the point

to ignore the case in which user wrote the message

also, you're doing word in message.content, but message content is a string, so iterating over it -> iterating over characters, not words

[formal basin]

Can you just give me an example

[lyric sphinx]

ok, couple of minutes

!e

banned_list: list[str] = ["word_1", "word_2"]
message_content: str = "WoRd_1"
if any([word in banned_list for word in message_content.lower().split()]):
    print("Bad message detected")

[unkempt canyon]

@lyric sphinx :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

Bad message detected

[lyric sphinx]

although you should just use a profanity filter library

[formal basin]

Ohhh

[lyric sphinx]

they've already done the stuff for you

!pypi profanity-filter

[unkempt canyon]

profanity-filter v1.3.3

A Python library for detecting and filtering profanity

[lyric sphinx]

!pypi profanity-check

[unkempt canyon]

profanity-check v1.0.3

A fast, robust library to check for offensive language in strings.

[lyric sphinx]

or this ^

you could set a ,,limit" for the ,,amount" of profanity and delete all messages in which the profanity amount is higher than the limit

[formal basin]

Can I not have spaces in the words?

[smoky sinew]

!e what ```py
print("hi" in "hello hi")

[unkempt canyon]

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

True

[formal basin]

Will it not work with spaces

[smoky sinew]

who said that

just use profanity-check

[formal basin]

Because I’m trying

[smoky sinew]

profanity-check is better

[formal basin]

It’s not profanity it’s toxicity

[smoky sinew]

there are libraries for that too

it already works on toxicity

[lyric sphinx]

^

[smoky sinew]

just use profanity-check

[lyric sphinx]

oops, seems like i didn't really read his code correctly, mb. Long time didn't use python.

[formal basin]

Can you give me an example

[lyric sphinx]

? install profanity check, then run it on the message, if the profanity is higher than <x> - delete the message

[formal basin]

So I install it?

pip install profanity check

[lyric sphinx]

well, yeah, you pip install it, like any other package

[formal basin]

Then can you show me the code for it

[lyric sphinx]

i already said what you have to do

its like 2 lines, just check the profanity check page and you'll see how to use it

[formal basin]

I’m on discord.py 2.0

I don’t think it will work

[lyric sphinx]

why?

[formal basin]

Because it says

[lyric sphinx]

what command are you running?

[formal basin]

pip install profanity check

[lyric sphinx]

are you doing pip install profanity check or pip install profanity-check

[formal basin]

Yes

[lyric sphinx]

are you trolling?

like, what yes? how am i supposed to understand which of these options is yes?

[formal basin]

No

[lyric sphinx]

k im done 💀

[formal basin]

Look

[lyric sphinx]

notice 1 difference challenge (impossible)

[formal basin]

Oh

Do I import anything

[lyric sphinx]

well, you import it, because if you want to use a package - you need to import it

[formal basin]

from profanity-check import profanity-check

[lyric sphinx]

I think you're simply not ready for discord bots. Learn more basics of python, then get into bot development. Its not an easy process.

[formal basin]

That?

I’m just checking

[lyric sphinx]

open the package page on pypi and check how it works. It has a great example of how to use it

[formal basin]

Ok

[lyric sphinx]

https://pypi.org/project/profanity-check/

[formal basin]

So It’s telling me to write the bad words

[lyric sphinx]

?

[formal basin]

In the usage

[lyric sphinx]

it shows how it works

[formal basin]

Yeah it’s telling me to write the words

[lyric sphinx]

i can't tell if you're trolling or not

[formal basin]

And say how much of profanity it’s worth

[lyric sphinx]

well yeah, then you just use this amount of profanity to determine whether the message needs to be deleted

[formal basin]

I want every word of profanity deleted

[lyric sphinx]

you can't delete every word of profanity, the algorithm that this package uses is far from perfect

more precision -> less speed

[formal basin]

But that gonna be hard to write every single profanity word

[lyric sphinx]

you dont need to?

the algorithm already has a db of bad words

it seems to me like you're not really understanding anything of what you're doing

[formal basin]

Can’t I just make every word in the db get deleted

[lyric sphinx]

well, the words are only the basic ones, people tend to try and get around the blocks by messing up the way they write the words

so by deleting every word only from the db, you'll only delete exact matches

while the algorithm determines how close is it to a bad word

[smoky sinew]

if i say fuk instead of fuck it won't get deleted in your code

[formal basin]

Just never mind

[lyric sphinx]

Honestly, my best tip (no aggression intended), would be to go and actually learn programming before going into bot development

I swear, its so much better and easier when you actually understand what you're doing

[formal basin]

Thanks for your help

[smoky sinew]

why are you using requests

just make the gui separate

use ipc maybe

[tired kernel]

https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1035199133436354600

[slate plover]

Ok, so I need help with events, I've been trying to use the on_message event but i dont know how to use it.

any examples that could show me how?

[vivid axle]

im having an argument with my friend im making a bot with him and basically he wants to make tickets when their called #bicxter etc whatever but i think it hsould be #ticket-5001 or something because we store the channel ids in database and its easier to get it with the ticket- thing idk

which should i do

[tall temple]

pls how can i make a command accessible only in a specific guild ?

[hushed galleon]

your choice whether you want to try naming it after the author vs using an incrementing number, but trusting the channel name is a fragile approach since any admin can rename it, whereas channel id stays the same

[smoky sinew]

god i love abusing private discord.py variables

[scarlet sorrel]

Why am I getting AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'GUILD_VOICE_STATES' from this?

nvm chatgpt knew

[smoky sinew]

isn't that a discord.js intent

[scarlet sorrel]

it was supposed to be voice_states

[smoky sinew]

also intents.messages = True is included in Intents.default(), so i'm assuming you meant to do intents.message_content = True

.default() enables all non-privileged intents

[scarlet sorrel]

no such thing as attribute message_content

it's supposed to be messages

[smoky sinew]

then you're using an outdated version of discord.py

[scarlet sorrel]

yep

new ones suck

[smoky sinew]

either way default() enables messages

[smoky sinew]

i agree

what version are you using

[scarlet sorrel]

how do i check

[smoky sinew]

discord.__version__

[scarlet sorrel]

also why does this just hang on voice_state.channel.connect() forever 😭

            try:
                connection = await voice_state.channel.connect()
            except discord.ClientException:
                connection = get_voice_client_from_channel_id(voice_state.channel.id)

[scarlet sorrel]

1.7.3

[smoky sinew]

ah yes

[scarlet sorrel]

classic version

[scarlet sorrel]

fr tho

[smoky sinew]

i wonder if the API gateway that 1.7.3 uses is going to get removed soon

considering it's more than 2 years old at this point

[scarlet sorrel]

i will make my own super basic wrapper with requests

[smoky sinew]

👍

[scarlet sorrel]

@smoky sinew do you know what's with this tho

[smoky sinew]

okay i just checked 1.7.3 uses v8

[smoky sinew]

no clue

[scarlet sorrel]

fair enough

[scarlet sorrel]

can i add a timeout to the await somehow?

because it is connecting but never getting past that await still

[smoky sinew]

i don't think you can interrupt a coroutine like that

also i just checked, and v7 got removed in february so you might only have a few months left of using 1.7.3

until you're forced to migrate

[scarlet sorrel]

forced how

[smoky sinew]

your bot wouldn't start

[scarlet sorrel]

don't need it to start if it's already running

[smoky sinew]

i'm going to assume that was a joke but i genuinely can't tell

[feral sinew]

Is there a way i can terminate a view after it has completed what it was meant to do?
more specifically, if a view had a button callback is there a way to disable that button after it has completed what it was meant to do?

i thought of doing button.disabled = True from the button's callback but maybe i dont understand how its meant to work

[smoky sinew]

that would work fine, you just have to edit the message with the new view afterwards

await interaction.edit_original_response(view=self)

[feral sinew]

oh yep that did it, thanks!
i used interaction.response.edit_message instead but yeah same effect

[smoky sinew]

i'm pretty sure those do different things but i always forget which one is which

[feral sinew]

oh? I'll look into that later then, i chose that to stay consistent with my code ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[final flame]

I need to take a look at a discord economy bot code using discord.py

[slate swan]

👌

[smoky sinew]

lmao i stopped paying attention to discord.py updates after 1.6 sorry

[hallow kernel]

allowed_pstfxs = [
    "ня", "nya"
]
async def on_message(message):
    if not any(message.endswith(postfix) for postfix in allowed_pstfxs):
        await message.delete()

[tall temple]

pls how can i make a command accessible only in a specific guild ?

[merry cliff]

what library?

also text command or slash command

[tall temple]

pycord

[tall temple]

both pls

[merry cliff]

well with a text command you can just get the guild id from the context and if its not in a specific list of guild ids then dont run the command

idk pycord slash command tho

ok so after some quick research, there is a guild_ids parameter you can set when creating a slash command to make it only visible to those guilds

[merry cliff]

hope I helped. if you need more specifics, ask in #1035199133436354600

[tall temple]

thanks

[slate swan]

i installed discord-py-slash-command but when i try to import it can't find it can anyone help me

[merry cliff]

don't use it, discord.py and its forks have added slash command support already

[slate swan]

how do i use discord.py slash commands

[merry cliff]

ok a very basic slash command example:

@bot.tree.command(name='avatar', description="gets a requested user's avatar")
@app_commands.describe(user='the user you are trying to get')
async def _avatar(interaction: discord.Interaction, user: discord.User):
    await interaction.response.defer(thinking=True)

    embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{user.name}'s Avatar", url=user.avatar.url)
    embed.set_author(name=f"{user.name}#{user.discriminator}", icon_url=user.avatar.url, url=user.avatar.url)
    embed.set_image(url=user.avatar.url)
    embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {interaction.user.name}#{interaction.user.discriminator}", icon_url=interaction.user.avatar.url)

    await interaction.followup.send(embed=embed)

imports:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands  # for the bot
from discord import app_commands  # for the slash command```

[naive briar]

You also need to sync the commands

[slate swan]

how do i do that

[hard bramble]

hello, I need a little help, I'm trying to get a message object using only a user id and message id, I've tried this and a few others but it doesn't work

[naive briar]

What doesn't work

[hard bramble]

message = user.get_message(rre.message_id) This line. I can't find a way to get the message object

[slate swan]

how do sync my slash commands

[slate plover]

How to? Bot checks users for a role > bot finds someone with that certain role > bot gives a new role and takes away that certain role.

[naive briar]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message - that's why we have the docs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

Similar names: discordpy.discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[naive briar]

You already have the channel object, just use that

[hard bramble]

the problem with this is, I've already tried getting the channel using the channel ID, when I put a dm channel id in get_channel, it returns None

that's why I used channel == None as check whether it is a dm channel or a channel in a guild

[slate plover]

Help me fellow programmers.

Oh it seems you all are busy, ill comeback later

[naive briar]

!d discord.User.dm_channel - that's still why we have the docs. You already have the user/member object, so, you know

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.dm\_channel

property dm_channel```
Returns the channel associated with this user if it exists.

If this returns `None`, you can create a DM channel by calling the [`create_dm()`](https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.User.create_dm "discord.User.create_dm") coroutine function.

Similar names: discordpy.discord.User.dm_channel

[hard bramble]

also saw this, but i only have access to a ClientUser object, not a User object

[hard bramble]

oh also I've looked into how to get a user object using only the id, my search might not be exhaustive though. I only came across client.get_user(user_id) which returns a ClientUser

[naive briar]

Then it was your client that added the reaction 🤷

[merry cliff]

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
    print('loading slash commands')
    await bot.tree.sync()```

sorry was busy

[slate swan]

no problem thank tho

[merry cliff]

it takes a few minutes for the commands to register

the first time

but after 5 minutes you should see them

[slate swan]

thanks

[merry cliff]

np

pm me if u need further help in the future

[slate swan]

will do thanks

[merry cliff]

btw im usually not available after this time each day as i will be alseep

*asleep

[hard bramble]

well yeah, I was hoping that I could get access to the dm_channel between the bot (the client) and the user who sent a message to it, using info that on_raw_reaction_add() receives

[empty palm]

how can it be understood. no error and the code does not work.

[hard bramble]

I found a workaround! thanks for the help @naive briar

[vale wing]

"Bot checks users for a role" — don't really get what you're trying to do
"Bot finds someone with certain role" — you can get all roles members via role.members if that's what you meant
"Bot gives a new role and takes away that certain role" — member.add_roles() and member.remove_roles()

If any additional explanations needed feel free to ask

[slate plover]

What i mean with first one is that the bot checks all the server members for a role and when a member has that role, he removes and gives him another one.

[empty palm]

.

Help pls

[vale wing]

If I rephrase it as "bot gets all members with selected role, removes that role and gives new one" would it be what you mean

[slate plover]

yes

[vale wing]

First of all, use SQL parameters

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings

Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also
• Python sqlite3 docs - How to use placeholders to bind values in SQL queries
• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

[vale wing]

Second, use async db wrapper

Judging by syntax you have there it's most likely sqlite3, use aiosqlite

Third, .fetchone() may return empty list but you're still trying to access the first element which might simply not exist. You need to handle that situation

[empty palm]

Huh

[vale wing]

Forth, use proper naming convention

Fifth, since no errors appear you probably have bad error handler that eats up unknown errors, make sure it raises the exception if it hasn't been handled

Ik, many things to fix but you should definitely work on all these

Step by step

[empty palm]

Okay tysm!

👍🏻

[vale wing]

Definition of get_warns_data() is inside open_account(). Just move it out

[slate swan]

how do ephemeral messages work

[formal basin]

Now get_warns_data() I undefined

[slate swan]

how do i make options in slash commands not required

[merry cliff]

When type hinting, set them to typing.Optional or give it a value of None when defining the function

[slate swan]

thank you again

[merry cliff]

Np

Just woke up lmao

[slate swan]

sorry to bother you again but how would i make it so only a certain role or permission can use the command

[merry cliff]

Text or slash command

[slate swan]

slash

[merry cliff]

Which library

discord.py?

[slate swan]

yes

[merry cliff]

Hold up lemme start up my computer

Ok so when you create a slash command

Add an extra decorator

@app_commands.guilds(guild ids)

and put the guild ids in a list. I’m pretty sure that’s how it works but I’ve never used it.

full example:

[merry cliff]

@app_commands.command(args)  # or @bot.tree.command if not in a cog
@app_commands.guilds(12345, 23456, etc)  # the guild ids can be accessed when right clicking a server icon with dev mode turned on
async def command(args):
    pass  # code goes here```

ok i gtg now

wdym by before

[slate swan]

Use a database

[slate swan]

with the purge command you should set the limit to (limit=limit+1) so that it will delete the command with it

[slate swan]

Any recommendations on my help command code?

    await Paginator.Simple(timeout=60).start(ctx, pages=pages)

[sullen shoal]

don't reinvent the wheel, and instead subclass commands.HelpCommand

[slate swan]

How do I make my own decorator, specifically I want to add a decorator that checks if a user is blacklisted.

[sullen shoal]

see the implementation of a check, and see how it works internally: https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/disnake/ext/commands/core.py#L1692-L1783
I am linking disnake's because their docs are significantly faster and doesn't demand a super computer

however, there is no need for a decorator just for that. Have a global check, and a global error handler. Subclass CommandError and name it BlacklistedUserError or whatever, then raise that in the global check if the user is blacklisted, and ||catch CommandInvokeError on your global error handler, and see if .original is your subclass of CommandError|| catch BlacklistedUserError

actually, no, you don't need to catch CommandInvokeError, just catch BlacklistedUserError

[slate swan]

@sullen shoal Can I just ignore the discord.ext.commands.errors.CheckFailure:?

I can show you the decorator I made, I might've done something wrong, but it works as it should

[sullen shoal]

It is raised when your check is False

[slate swan]

yeah, I raise False on purpose

[sullen shoal]

you shouldn't globally ignore it

create a local error handler and ignore it there

[slate swan]

Gotcha

So each command would have to have one as well

that uses the blacklist deco

[sullen shoal]

yes, that's why I'd say go for custom exceptions and a global check

[slate swan]

@np.error
async def np_error(ctx: commands.Context, error) -> None:
    if isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
        pass
    else:
        raise error

Something like this for each command?

[sullen shoal]

you can have a local error handler for the cog as well. Or check the command name using the Context obj that you get in the global error handler and have a list of command names that you'd want to pass the error for

[young pendant]

Hey, could I ask you for help?

[sullen shoal]

I am following, what do you need help with?

[young pendant]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/bafisubowo
I made that script,
the system is called REPORT-SYSTEM

In the script you can see this:

        user_reporting = interaction.user
        user_reported = message.author
        reported_message_link = message.jump_url
        reported_message_content = message.content
        mods_channel = self.report_channel
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Reported Message", color=discord.Colour.from_rgb(255, 0, 0))
        embed.add_field(name="Reporting User", value=user_reporting.mention, inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Reported User", value=user_reported.mention, inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Reported Message", value=reported_message_link, inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Reported Message", value=reported_message_content, inline=False)

        await mods_channel.send(embed=embed)
        return embed```

I would like the report_message command to be a message command.

Like, when I right click a message and the ``APP``  section pops up with a command that I can use

do you maybe know how I can implement this in my code?

i`m kinda new to discord.py and struggling to understand it a bit

[sullen shoal]

I'd know for Disnake as that is what I am mainly familiar with for anything interactions specific. However, if your mission is to have both a slash command and a message command with the same functionality, you should wrap the duplicated functionalities into several functions

I am not faimilar with the design choices of Danny and Discord.py

[young pendant]

the report_message command should not be a slash command

[sullen shoal]

unfortunately, I am not useful here

[young pendant]

Ok, still thanks for trying to help

[sullen shoal]

keep in mind that your database adapter is not asynchronous, and if two people are running the same command simultaneously, the resultant can be unexpected

and, your codebase is vulnerable to SQL injections, see <#bot-commands message>

[smoky sinew]

do you still need help?

these are referred to as context menus in discord.py

        ]
    }   

But it does the first part where it says it is initializing but it doesn't do anything after

[young pendant]

yeah I do

[smoky sinew]

you're not using the decorators

also i'm pretty sure slash commands can't return anything

you need to send the message instead

the return type would be -> None

[young pendant]

you mean because of the return embed?

[slate swan]

What's the best way to make a snipe command?

[slate swan]

He's talking about return annotations

[young pendant]

I'm new to discord.py what does that mean?
Sorry

[slate swan]

Return annotations are just what you use to define what the function will return

[young pendant]

Yes, and what would be the issue in my script?

[slate swan]

def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

Here's a simple example, a and b are ints so that function will also return an int.

[slate swan]

I haven't looked at your code so he might of just been giving a suggestion

[sullen shoal]

if you have a Redis database, insert it there where the key would be the channel ID

[slate swan]

and if I don't have a redis database?

[sullen shoal]

have a dict

[empty lintel]

i love dict

[slate swan]

And just use the on_message_delete event to store it all?

[sullen shoal]

if your snipe command is supposed to snipe more than just one deleted deleted messages, sorted by date, you can append to a list, or if just the last one, do something like self.bot.snipe_cache[channel_id] = msg.content, and just retrieve it from the cache when needful

[haughty dew]

Hey bot people.. I wrote a discord bot a while ago kinda just going off the top of my head without any inspiration. Is this a good command handler?

class Client(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)

    async def on_message(self, message):
        print(f"Message Recieved:\nMessage Content: {message.content}\nMessage Author: {message.author.name}#{message.author.discriminator}")
        if message.author.bot: return
        if message.channel.type == "private": return
        if not message.content.startswith(config["prefix"]): return
        messageArray = message.content[len(config["prefix"]):].split(' ')
        cmd = messageArray[0]
        args = messageArray[1:]

        command = path.isfile(path.join(config["commandFolder"], cmd + ".py"))
        if command:
            exec(f"from commands import {cmd}")
            await eval(f"{cmd}.{cmd}(self, message, args)")

I didn't want all of my commands to be in a single file or anything, for a cleaner look.

[golden portal]

instead of manually creating a command handler, you might as well use the built-in command handler by discord.py

[haughty dew]

I feel like that would give me less control overall, unless I'm massively wrong. What if I wanted to add content moderation to my bot?

[sick birch]

Trust me, you really do not wanting to be writing command parsers by hand

Especially when discord.py gives you a rich system for parsing

[golden portal]

actually it gives you control such as commands check and converter

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html
if you wanna see the whole command handler

[haughty dew]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$', intents=intents)

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    pass

# or:

@commands.command()
async def test(ctx):
    pass

bot.add_command(test)

this example seems to say that all of the commands are in one file...

Not really. to create commands over multiple file, we put them in a class that derived commands.Cog, and we load them with extension
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/extensions.html#ext-commands-extensions

Example would be something like

other/file.py ```py
class MyCog(commands.Cog):
@commands.command()
async def test(ctx):
...

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

Then you would load them by `await bot.load_extension('other.file')` in the main file

Hello!

I am making a lockdown command

But it does the first part where it says it is initializing but it doesn't do anything after

[opaque elk]

Someone got a docs for this?

[smoky sinew]

?

[opaque elk]

Like leaderboard

[smoky sinew]

just make it

break it down into parts

and do them seperately

[slate swan]

How do you get a default pfp url?

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.User.default_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.default\_avatar

property default_avatar```
Returns the default avatar for a given user. This is calculated by the user’s discriminator.

Similar names: discordpy.discord.User.default_avatar

[smoky sinew]

python bot uses pycord docs now?? hm

[slate swan]

author.default_avatar.url ?

How long are Discord guild ids?

[sick birch]

Discord IDs don't have a set length

[slate swan]

Ah. Wondering what data type to use for my database

to store them

[smoky sinew]

use BIGINT

[sick birch]

String

Or yeah bigint

[smoky sinew]

currently, snowflakes are around 19 digits

but that might change

they actually didn't become 19 digits until a few months ago

[slate swan]

What's the best way to handle discord.errors.Forbidden?

[upbeat gust]

Thats a very broad question, where is it coming from?

[slate swan]

Missing permissions attempting to add a role to a member object

[upbeat gust]

is this in a command? view? event?

[slate swan]

it's a command

[upbeat gust]

slash? text?

[slate swan]

text

[upbeat gust]

Docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling
Example: https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

[smoky sinew]

this won't work

on_command_error only catches errors that are inheriting from discord.ext.commands.CommandError

instead use try/except as that's how the exception is raised when you use Member.add_roles

[short silo]

Just a general question, if you have a database which has a list of allowed users. How do you 'cache' the list so you don't have to use the db again and again or is it in fact actually a better practice to use the db ?

I would suppose, it's better to cache ?

[slate swan]

You could create a python list as a botvar

Or more advanced solution would be to use cache db Like Redis

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Bot variables

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[smoky sinew]

why would you need to?

databases are designed to handle thousands of queries per second

making one every time someone runs a command is not that expensive

[upbeat gust]

Yes, it would be wrapped in a CommandInvokeError. See the gist for retrieving the original error

[upbeat gust]

Yes it does

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612#file-error_handler-py-L49

[unkempt canyon]

error_handler.py line 49

error = getattr(error, 'original', error)```

[short silo]

Understandable.

[molten hare]

!d vars

[unkempt canyon]

vars

vars()``````py

vars(object)```
Return the [`__dict__`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#object.__dict__ "object.__dict__") attribute for a module, class, instance, or any other object with a [`__dict__`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#object.__dict__ "object.__dict__") attribute.

Objects such as modules and instances have an updateable [`__dict__`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#object.__dict__ "object.__dict__") attribute; however, other objects may have write restrictions on their [`__dict__`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#object.__dict__ "object.__dict__") attributes (for example, classes use a [`types.MappingProxyType`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/types.html#types.MappingProxyType "types.MappingProxyType") to prevent direct dictionary updates).

Without an argument, [`vars()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#vars "vars") acts like [`locals()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#locals "locals"). Note, the locals dictionary is only useful for reads since updates to the locals dictionary are ignored.

A [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") exception is raised if an object is specified but it doesn’t have a [`__dict__`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#object.__dict__ "object.__dict__") attribute (for example, if its class defines the [`__slots__`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__slots__ "object.__slots__") attribute).

[timid spade]

hey so
i want to define all the slash commands in a seperate file then import that file to bot.py.
like i want separate my all commands in files. can anyone help?

[merry cliff]

so into a cog

[timid spade]

what

[smoky sinew]

you shouldn’t have one command per file

but if you really want to

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.add_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.add\_command

add_command(command, /, *, guild=..., guilds=..., override=False)```
Adds an application command to the tree.

This only adds the command locally – in order to sync the commands and enable them in the client, [`sync()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync "discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync") must be called.

The root parent of the command is added regardless of the type passed.

[smoky sinew]

or just use extensions with add_command in setup

[timid spade]

ofc not
but like i have all the slash commands in one file
all the events in other file
and the prefix commands in other file
what will be the method to do that

[smoky sinew]

cogs and extensions

but your extensions should probably be grouped by category

[timid spade]

i am sorry but i literally dont know about both of these

[smoky sinew]

that’s my fault sorry

there’s a good tutorial on the docs

i can’t link it because i’m on mobile

[timid spade]

tutorial will be helpful
is it cool if i remind you after some time?

[slate swan]

what function removes slash commands from the bot?

[golden portal]

syncing the tree will remove non existent slash commands, im guessing the top or bottom is a guild specific slash while the other is global one, if you wanna remove the guild one, just sync that guild without that claim command present

[slate swan]

but what function is it?

[hushed galleon]

if it happens in a command its wrapped in CommandInvokeError, at which point you can unwrap and handle it as desired
https://github.com/thegamecracks/thegamebot/blob/v2/bot/cogs/eh.py#L350-L354

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync (assuming you're using discord.py 2.0)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

This also runs the translator to get the translated strings necessary for feeding back into Discord.

This must be called for the application commands to show up.

[slate swan]

ty! so this will sync global and guild?

[hushed galleon]

guild only gets synced if you give something to the guild parameter

[slate swan]

so if you don't then it's considered global?

[true jungle]

Hi, uh I’m new here, so what’s this channel about?

[vocal snow]

It's for questions and discussions relating to Discord bot development with discord.py and other relevant Python libraries.

[slow fog]

looking at the channel's description might be good for considerations

[mighty pilot]

Can discord bots work in threads now? Just saw a bounty for a bot that interacts in threads

[hushed galleon]

i dont know if bots didnt support them when they were first introduced, but now sure, discord.py has supported threads since 2.0 which released last year
(and dpy 2.0 took a while before it was released, disnake's first 2.0 release, at least as indicated on their github, supported threads since october 2021)

[mighty pilot]

Sweet. Thanks

[short silo]

is there any way to have custom decorators ? or what can be my options if i want to run a lot of checks without cluttering the main function. Basically, i wanna run checks but i dont wanna return anything to the function for if else

[slate swan]

You can have a look at https://libs.advaith.io to know which library has support such certain features

[mighty pilot]

I'll work with discord.py, that's what I'm most familiar with. Just didn't know it had support for threads. Guess I never needed my bots to so I didn't worry about it

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.check There's an example for implementing a custom check as it's own decorator

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via [`Command.checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks").

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError"). Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error").

hey guys, if you were storing data for a raffle system how would you do it? I'm currently using an SQL database and doing this:py cur.execute(''' CREATE TABLE raffles( raffleID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, guildID INTEGER NOT NULL, userID INTEGER NOT NULL, userAddress STRING NOT NULL, itemID INTEGER NOT NULL, minTickets INTEGER NOT NULL, timeLeft INTEGER NOT NULL, ticketsSold INTEGER NOT NULL, completed BOOL NOT NULL ) ''') cur.execute(''' CREATE TABLE entrants( ID PRIMARY KEY, userID INTEGER NOT NULL, userAddress STRING NOT NULL, raffleID INTEGER tickets INTEGER NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY(raffleID) REFERENCES raffles(raffleID) ) ''')
so there'd be a new row in entrants in the table every time a user enters a raffle. I'm just not sure if this is the best way of handling that data 😅

[slate swan]

Can anyone help me code a discord bot on vsc

[slate swan]

sure

[dense flower]

"i wont promote" ~ Promotes

[tall temple]

how to write spaces in discord.Option for slash command ?

like ```py
async def test(ctx, test test : discord.Option(str, "some test", required = True)

[slate swan]

How are you guys storing discord oauth2 tokens?

Feels like leaving them plain in a database isn’t the best thing to do

[mild lava]

if my discord bot was added to a bunch of servers with only the bot permission scope (this was before slash commands existed), and i want to update the bot to use slash commands, does this bot need to be re-added to every server with new permissions (applications.commands)?

wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing, and how to deal with it

[upbeat gust]

Discord did automatically add the scope to some bots before a certain time. You probably will need to reinvite (not kick and rejoin, just use the invite again) with the application commands scope

[mild lava]

if i am not associated with the servers, how should i communicate this to server owners?

[upbeat gust]

You could loop through your bots guilds, try to dm the owner or ping them in a channel

[royal pumice]

I made a discord bot that daltonizes images (increased the contrast) so that colorblind people could see them. And I added a experimental function which can only detect RGB rn

[median sand]

Anyone know how to use BeautifulSoup4 and could possible help me with some web scraping errors im getting with my bot?

[shrewd apex]

scraping what?

[median sand]

I'm trying to make a dnd info bot and wanting to scrape items from http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/#toc67 via command /item {item_type} {item_name} eg /item adventuring-gear Rope

I know http://www.dnd5eapi.co is a thing but it has a lot less info than http://dnd5e.wikidot.com

[shrewd apex]

Any reason ur not using some dnd api or not pre scraping the data storing it in a db and using it later?

scraping data during runtime is not usually a good idea

[median sand]

hosting a db would add to my hosting cost and i cant afford it ;-; and to many items to have it saved locally (just lazy and cbf typing out every item)

[shrewd apex]

dont need a host just make a local db file or a json file since u wont be editing the data its totally fine u can just load it on startup

[shrewd apex]

also u scrape it and save it in a file

then load the file to memory when starting the bot

that way low latency plus less prone to errors

u can update ur data later too if new stuff is added make a little script for that

[median sand]

The hosting site i use pulls the bot from github to run it, and i'm having errors trying to scrape the info in the first place so i cant even see the info

I could make it a local db hmmm

[shrewd apex]

ur not getting my point my point is store the data in a json or db file ur hosting service will pull that too

[median sand]

but i would need to be able to scrape the info anyway to save it

[shrewd apex]

make a seperate script for that

easier to debug them separately

[median sand]

yeah i realised i missed what you were saying

[shrewd apex]

use requests with soup or smn

[median sand]

im new to using BeautifulSoup4 and db's first time using BeautifulSoup4 today

[shrewd apex]

then its a good day to learn new stuff 👍

[median sand]

never messed with db's before either

[shrewd apex]

dbs or json its optional in this case pick either

since its gonna be a read only file

[median sand]

same with json lol i've only made small single propose bots ;-;

first time trying a more complex bot

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

what event is passed when server loses a boost?

None on its own, only a GUILD_MEMBER_UPDATE event as premium_since changes

tysm

[vale wing]

Just buy a VPS

How much your "hosting service" is

[median sand]

Im using railway. I've put in $5 and i get a free $5 a month with unlimited runtime so as long i use less than $5 a month its basically free forever

[vale wing]

You can use VPS free tier

[median sand]

without putting in money you get a few 100 hours of runtime

[vale wing]

Still will be better than this

[slate swan]

You will reach that cap every month

[median sand]

Im running 3 bots without touching the cap

[slate swan]

There are more than 500 hours a month

[slate swan]

Bs4 I LOVE BS4 MEOW MROW

[vale wing]

Free options

• digital ocean - free 200$ for 2 months
• amazon AWS - free for 1 year
• oracle cloud - not sure, must be completely free
• microsoft azure - free for one year then some services are available

@median sand

[median sand]

Yeah i know but if you are free you only get the 500 and thats it no more, after spending you get unlimited runtime and $5 free credit

[slate swan]

Oracle can suck fat penis

[vale wing]

Still better than "hosting service"

[slate swan]

Gl even getting a free slot

And chances is ur data might be deleted

[slate swan]

?? Obviously if you pay you get unlimited runtime

[slate swan]

Would remove Oracle

[vale wing]

I never used it myself tho

[slate swan]

Either you get banned after a few hours/days for no apparent reason, or you simply cannot use it at all

Just get a 50 dollar dedicated from hetnzer or whatever they are called

Never worry again

[vale wing]

50$/mo?

[slate swan]

Ya

[vale wing]

That's like for million servers bot

[slate swan]

They got good deals

For a random and small Discord bot, super useful

[vale wing]

3$/mo is good for small bots

[slate swan]

Oh small

[vale wing]

Galaxygate got that

[median sand]

Anyone know how to make my item_type:str a list for a user to pick from

@client.tree.command(name='item', description="Allows you to search for an item")
async def item(interaction: discord.Interaction, item_type: str, item_name: str):```

[vale wing]

But yeah in terms of free tier all those options I mentioned except oracle apparently

[slate swan]

With choices, see the docs

Im sure a 5 dollar per month from vultr, linode, digital ocean is good

These 3 services give a trial

Aws is good until ur trial ends than u get hit with them expensive server bills

[median sand]

My usage with Railway and running 3 small bots

[vale wing]

What if I don't pay

[median sand]

Costing $1.42~ a month and i get $5 free credit

[slate swan]

U lose ur access !

[median sand]

so i never spend the $5 i put in only the free credit

[slate swan]

I got a database, key vault, vps on aws

[slate swan]

Friend

Sparkedhost 1 dollar per month

Prolly would work if ur bot as its small

[vale wing]

I use aeza.net cause it's one of few good options for russians since sanctions

[slate swan]

Rip

[vale wing]

They are getting ddos attacks and net maintenance but compensate that with free hosting time

Like I got one free month after 2 ddoses

[timber wren]

hey
i wanted to make a something like a stats bot
that displays members in locked voice channels
and I dont know where to start from except how to fetch the numbers
do i use loops, events or what?
any help is appreciated, thanks a lot :)

[slate swan]

Probably a task running every 10 minutes or something in the background

[vale wing]

Events method is much better if you do it properly

[slate swan]

Then to fetch the numbers you need to get a guild object in the first place

That way you're sure you won't get hit by rate limits in case people join/leave your server every now and then

[timber wren]

okayy

[timber wren]

h-how do I do that?

like do i need a while loop

to keep checking if someone is joining or not?

[slate swan]

For that you have events

E.g.

@bot.listen()
async def on_member_join(member: discord.Member):
  print(f"{member} joined")

[timber wren]

mhm so will this work:

while true:
  async def on_member_join():
    channel = utils.get(guild.channels, id=id)
    member_count = member_count = len(ctx.guild.members) 
    await channel.edit(name = f"member_count")
  async def on_member_leave():
    #same_shit as before

[slate swan]

No while loop

[timber wren]

mhm

[slate swan]

Just the above

[timber wren]

@bot.listen()

okay

[slate swan]

No need to use utils.get either

[slate swan]

You can get access to the guild object with member.guild in the example here ^

There's no such ctx in events as well, so you can use member.guild.members

f-strings should have {} as well:

await channel.edit(name=f"member_count") # Not good
await channel.edit(name=f"{member_count}") # Good

[vale wing]

I was about to say "yOu sHoulD cAsT to StR wiTh str()" but suddenly remembered there are no style regulations to it

Or are there

Now you leaked your IP to everyone

And phone

And token

@slim plover yo man delete this asap

[timid spade]

i have this one code working perfectly on host
but when i run on my pc it gives error

i dont get it its the same exact code

role = get(interaction.guild.roles, name= item)
according to error the above line is returning a coroutine

[north kiln]

then you await the coroutine?

[timid spade]

yep i tried but it gave another error
its get() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'
but still why is it working for the bot which is already hosted

how do i get role object from role name now

[north kiln]

I assume it is because the get is treated as dict.get()

just send the whole code ig

[timid spade]

well

90

[slate swan]

where do you import get function

You probably overwrite the get function

Consider using utils.get instead of importing the way to use get  directly

[slate swan]

Do you have any function named get?

Also where do you have the id varriable you pass into the get function

[timid spade]

ohk
maybe i do

[slate swan]

Cause looks Like you are passing built in id function

[timid spade]

yeaahh
thansk
i had this random test function in file for no reason

i thinks its causing the issue

[slate swan]

Looks like

If you want to have get command you can do this:

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

how do i give a role using a button

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

You must have [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

Im having an issue with choices/options when writing my command im using @client.tree.command

[thin raft]

code?

[median sand]

Here is the start of my command```py

Define the Item Types

item_types = {
"Adventuring Gear",
"Armor and Shields",
"Trinkets",
"Weapons",
"Firearms",
"Explosives",
"Wondrous items",
"Currency",
"Poisons",
"Tools",
"Siege Equipment"
}

Command to find a item using the item's type & name

@client.tree.command(name='item', description="Allows you to search for an item")
async def item(interaction: discord.Interaction, item_type: str, item_name: str):```

I'm wanting the item_types to be the options for item_type: str

[thin raft]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html?highlight=autocomplete#discord.app_commands.autocomplete

[smoky sinew]

i think you might be able to use typing.Literal[*item_types] as the item type parameter

might be a better idea to use Choice though

autocomplete is usually for data that can change

[thin raft]

wait what

you can do that? instead of autocomplete?

[vocal snow]

!d discord.app_commands.choices

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.choices

@discord.app_commands.choices(**parameters)```
Instructs the given parameters by their name to use the given choices for their choices.

Example...

[smoky sinew]

you can use either literal, choices, or autocomplete

actually i don't know if x[*y] is valid

nvm then

oh it is valid

[median sand]

How would i add this?

[smoky sinew]

from typing import Literal at the very top

[median sand]

Im getting the errorUnpacked arguments cannot be used in type argument lists

[smoky sinew]

and use item_type: Literal[*item_types]

[median sand]

# Define the Item Types
item_types = {
        "Adventuring Gear",
        "Armor and Shields",
        "Trinkets",
        "Weapons",
        "Firearms",
        "Explosives",
        "Wondrous items",
        "Currency",
        "Poisons",
        "Tools",
        "Siege Equipment"
    }


# Command to find a item using the item's type & name
@client.tree.command(name='item', description="Allows you to search for an item")
async def item(interaction: discord.Interaction, item_type: typing.Literal[*item_types], item_name: str):```

[smoky sinew]

strange, works for me

>>> from typing import Literal
>>> x = {1, 2, 3}
>>> def y(z: Literal[*x]) -> None:                              ...    ...     print(z)
>>> y(1)
1

[median sand]

(variable) item_types: set[str]```

[smoky sinew]

do you get that error when running it?
