discord-bots

[vale wing]

Then it's as simple as this

from datetime import time


@tasks.loop(time=time(hour, minute, second))
async def your_task():
    ...

Don't forget to start the task using suitable method tho

[eager portal]

anyone able to help me

[slate swan]

Yeah that's what I meant though don't you have to give a specific date and time? Which leads to it being executed once only and then when it gets executed you can just set the new interval?

Kind of forgot how dpy handles tasks with the time

[vale wing]

Nah it even expects datetime.time object, I don't think it would only execute it once

[slate swan]

Makes sense then it's every day at the given time

[vale wing]

And I have sort of "daily reset" task in my bot with time=time(0) it executes correctly

But that's disnake

[slate swan]

Yeah probably very similar

[eager portal]

.

[vale wing]

Iirc the permission is called read_messages

!d discord.Permissions.read_messages

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions.read\_messages

Returns True if a user can read messages from all or specific text channels.

[vale wing]

Yes

[eager portal]

wrong my friend, same issue

[vale wing]

Is that if clause the only where you create channel

[eager portal]

channel = await support.create_text_channel(name = f"{interaction.user.name}-{interaction.user.discriminator}-ticket", overwrites=overwrites, reason=f"Ticket Opened for: {interaction.user}")

I am mentioning the overwrites every other overwrite works

just not that one

[vale wing]

Does the category have permissions

[eager portal]

It does

[vale wing]

Apologies, view_channel is an alias for read_messages

Unless you are creating channel in different guild than interaction was created in I see no other issues except interaction.user and interaction.guild.me should be same things

[eager portal]

same issue

anyone able to help me out

[slate swan]

hmmm I'm stumped
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/pixoxacesa

[potent spear]

errors + goal?

[slate swan]

return a bots embed message

to then edit it

[potent spear]

you still don't really seem to grasp the difference between an object and a class

discord.TextChannel.get_partial_message(...)
an object is an instance of a class

I like how you use the docs, but when they're showing how to use certain methods like
get_partial_message
they refer to discord.TextChannel as an object of that class

that why you want to do stuff like

text_channel = client.get_channel(<channel_id>)
partial_msg = text_channel.get_partial_message(<message_id>)```

[eager portal]

anyoine

[slate swan]

so what's the difference if an object is an instance of a class? it's still the class data for that item. no?

[potent spear]

how are you testing that the default role can still see it? you're not giving yourself (as an admin) no roles, right? 🧠

[potent spear]

just spot the difference
discord.TextChannel.get_partial_message(self, message_id)
a_channel.get_partial_message(id)

you see its simplicity?

[slate swan]

first 1 goes through the class structure and the 2nd is self-defined variables as objects? but they return the same value?

[potent spear]

what if you wanted to get a partial message of a specific channel?
you know what I mean now?

that's why you want to call methods on instances of these classes

[slate swan]

ohhhhhhhhh

so im looking for the channel first, then the message

[potent spear]

by name or ID?

wait, explain your main goal first

maybe getting the channel isn't even needed

[slate swan]

id or it would be harder to find by name

role react buttons and custom embed that i can dynamically add/remove roles to. i got the embed to add/remove from, but it sends a new one each time currently

instead of editing 1

[potent spear]

so your message ID will always be the same, correct?

[slate swan]

right

[potent spear]

then you'll have to store that message ID in a database to persist it. are you doing this already?

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

that's good

one issue though

why are you casting it to an int?
haven't you stored it as an integer?
if it was stored as a string, you should rewrite your database structure
note that a txt isn't a database

that isn't a message ID though...

so I ask you again, how are you storing the message ID?

[slate swan]

oops

[potent spear]

yup, should be an int

[slate swan]

it allows input as a slash command.

[earnest swift]

Does anyone know how to make your discord bot give an user a role

[potent spear]

that's something else
then you might want to map the output to cast / store it as an int

[potent spear]

yes,
you get the role object first
then the member object
then you do await member.add_roles(<your_role_object>)

[potent spear]

anyways, the storing of the data should be done correctly
most info you'll ask will probably be a string...

[eager portal]

fixed just did ```py
await channel.edit(sync_permissions=True)

[potent spear]

well done 👍

[slate swan]

So when the command calls for the input of the message id, i should just convert it straight to an int and use int instead of str after that point?

[potent spear]

correct

you cast it to its correct type and move on from there

also, I highly discourage you to except all errors, try except a specific error you're expecting

[vivid axle]

im trying to make an api to interact with my discord bot, just to get how many guilds, channels & users it has, how would i start this. im using dpy

[slate swan]

is there a reference for what type of errors each function would throw though? I've just been using the whole error to figure out whats wrong.

[vivid axle]

wdym

[potent spear]

in the case you're trying it, there's no need for a try except

[vivid axle]

ok

[potent spear]

so whenever an API call is made for example
GET_GUILD_MEMBER_COUNT, it would return an int with that?

are you sure you even need a discord bot for this?

[slate swan]

ok. tyvm

[potent spear]

you're thinking about this the wrong way

you should make a database which stores the message ID with all info of each guild
if there's no message ID set up in the database for a specific guild the bot joined, the bot will ask the authorized members (most likely the owner of the guild) to give it a channel and message ID to create this info message.
If the bot notices the channel or message got deleted, it'll ask the guild owner AGAIN to set up a new message ID etc

[formal forum]

$help

[inland quail]

MemberJoinMonitoring:
  creation_time All commands related to the Creation time trigger.
​No Category:
  help          Shows this message

Type $help command for more info on a command.
You can also type $help category for more info on a category.

[slate swan]

ohhhh and use the db to avoid api calls.

[potent spear]

correct
you would check in on_channel_delete events if the setup channel of that guild got deleted

so you'd only have to do an API call when you were editing the message, since it would already know beforehand if the message got deleted (or the channel)... unless the bot was offline while that happened, then you'd have to use some sort of system you currently tried to set up, but way simpler

that system would look like
setup_channel_id = get the channel ID out of the database for this guild
message_id = get the message ID out of the database for this guild

setup_channel = client.get_channel(setup_channel_id)
if setup_channel is None:
1. update the database and reset all setup info of that guild, as the channel wasn't found anymore
2. notify the guild owner to set up a new channel and info message
same thing in case the setup_message got deleted while the bot was offline (which means the get_partial_message wouldn't find anything in the given channel)

[slate swan]

hmm ok. so use that data stored more than I am. less API calls = better all around.

[potent spear]

well, idk when you'd make API calls now, but yeah, idk where you'd otherwise get all the setup INFO from besides a DB

[vivid axle]

nonono i mean that i have the bot, and i just want to be able to see the guild ands stuff on the website for statistics

[potent spear]

I think there's already some packages / tools for this
you don't have to reinvent the wheel 🙂

[vivid axle]

do u know name or link?

[potent spear]

no, google does probably
what would you google in this case?

[vivid axle]

um

idk

[potent spear]

yes you do

[vivid axle]

how

[potent spear]

by thinking about it

[vivid axle]

i thought and i cant think of it

[slate swan]

so far I haven't made slash commands till this past week. Now that I finally have a grasp on it a bit, I plan on using the db more, but wasn't sure what to use it for yet. this is just some basic command to edit the roles on an embed. then the button view will follow the dataset for the role names in the embed. I was just thinking of setting up the buttons knowledge for a persistent view to be in a db. not the editing the embed part.

[potent spear]

try by typing in the same thing as you did here

[vivid axle]

all that comes up is the discord api or dsicord.py api

[potent spear]

what did you try?

[vivid axle]

what i send

[potent spear]

something along the lines of "show discord server statistics on website"

[vivid axle]

firstly

[potent spear]

this isn't discord bot related

[vivid axle]

...

[potent spear]

A persistent view already exists (meaning the buttons will keep on working after a bot restart)
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[slate swan]

someone mentioned to use custom id's for the buttons to remain persistent right?

[potent spear]

correct

you can see them in the link shared above

[slate swan]

so would I have to setup like a query for the custom id to assign the right role from there then?

[potent spear]

well, I think you're worried to much of what's coming

have you been able to add / remove a role from a user by clicking on a button in the first place?

if that's the case, adding a custom_id to that button would be a piece of cake

[slate swan]

not yet. that was my next step after editing the message

[potent spear]

well, you're thinking too much ahead, try making simple buttons first before thinking about the persistency

[vivid axle]

i looked onlin and it says to make an api or websocket or something which i dont understand

[slate swan]

already did that 🤣

[potent spear]

try making a #❓｜how-to-get-help out of it, and be as descriptive as possible
you'll get help in no time

[vivid axle]

thank you sniperglitcherz

[potent spear]

well, based on how you made that and the link shared above, it wouldn't be hard implementing persistency I think

[slate swan]

these change both text and voice channels associated with em. So yeah it should be fine.

that was my first project

[potent spear]

making this as user-friendly as possible for users is the main challenge usually

[slate swan]

took me like 2 mo then i learned python basics after I made this. converted everything to a sqlite db then to postgres via docker. now im just wanting to get this finished then twitch api stuff is next.
yeahhh aside from self implementation, making it user-friendly and ""smart"" is the fun challenge.

[junior falcon]

this is a little bit confusing tbh

[smoky sinew]

use an aiohttp web server and host it on the same event loop as your bot

[vivid axle]

ok

[vivid axle]

what do u mean event loop

[smoky sinew]

asyncio event loop

[slate swan]

its a voice channel generator.

[smoky sinew]

which is what runs async tasks

[vivid axle]

ok

aiohttp.org?

[smoky sinew]

just go to the thread

you already made one

[slate swan]

^this is a custom mockup of terraria's world generator. that's all.

[vivid axle]

thread

[slate swan]

just curious. with slash command interactions. what can u use to get the thread.id?

[earnest swift]

Does anyone know how to make your bot give an user an role

[smoky sinew]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.channel

[robust fulcrum]

Hi guys, was self bot removed in discord.py 2.0?

[smoky sinew]

all user endpoints were removed in 2.0

[coral mirage]

Hello everyone! Is anyone enable to give me a hand?

I need help with this part of my bot.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nipavimowa

[smoky sinew]

what about it

[coral mirage]

so, the command is not working. It doesn't send errors, but also doesn't do its function. Function suppose to send +75 to population in table users and +25 in reserves per purchase and it suppose to send +5 citizen in population as well per hour per residential own and +1 to reserves.

I send the command, but no errors, but neither do the function properly. It doesn't send the 75 or 25 and it doesn't add the hours either.

[slate swan]

whar is the problem

[sick birch]

Hi, this is a Python server so we only help with Python code. Perhaps you could try a JavaScript server for help?

[tired pine]

well this is a Python server but I can guess that you're not providing any error handlers for the event

[slate swan]

path = None
################################################3


@tree.command(name="choose", description="c", guild=discord.Object(guildid))

@app_commands.choices(account=[

])

async def rbx(ctx, account: app_commands.Choice[str]):

    if app_commands.Choice == "roblox":
        path = robloxpath

this still continues as if path is still none despite me looking at the user choice? im new to slash commands i dont understand

[ember glen]

well, u need to use 'global' keyword ig, coz u gotta access the global variable

[vocal snow]

Your if statement is also incorrect

[ember glen]

path = None
################################################3


@tree.command(name="choose", description="c", guild=discord.Object(guildid))

async def rbx(ctx, account: app_commands.Choice[str]):
    global path
    if account.name == "roblox" : 
      path = robloxpath

Add account.name instead of app_commands.Choice as the choices are formed as key value pair.

hope now it is working for u

Is there any way to pick custom color for discord embed? I mean I want a color code for discord embed color, so is there any website which will provide me with all the codes?

[thin raft]

discord.Embed(description = "custom color embed", color = 0xFF0000)

you can use hex for colors

[ember glen]

Oh ok, thanks!

And is there any way to make name and value in add_field side by side?

[thin raft]

play withdiscord.Embed.inline

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```

New in version 2.0...

[ember glen]

I want the output like this -

name : value

But I am getting this

value```

[thin raft]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed.add_field

[ember glen]

I tried that but it actually controls the fields and not the pairs, isn't it?

[thin raft]

"inline (bool) – Whether the field should be displayed inline."

try

1 inline one dont

[ember glen]

alright

Also, is there any way to create an empty gap in embed?

like there is <br> in html

[thin raft]

try making a field that it's name is a space

[ember glen]

and \n in python

[thin raft]

idk

[ember glen]

thanks though, Imma try it

[slate swan]

it works now thanks

[idle lantern]

hi just started learning

import discord

what am i doing wrong here?

the command is not working

@client.command(
    name="say",
)
async def say(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hi Snowman")
``` i tried it like this as well

nvm i will go to https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1035199133436354600

[cold sonnet]

on_message blocks the commands

if you haven't gotten an answer yet

[idle lantern]

ohhhh

[glad cradle]

he/she can use @client.listen() instead

[idle lantern]

yes i didnt

[glad cradle]

since actually it's a Bot object

[cold sonnet]

client.listen is a method so you will have to call it with brackets

[idle lantern]

instead of @client.event ?

[cold sonnet]

yes

[glad cradle]

yes, with the parenthesis as Dani said

[idle lantern]

ok thanks i will try that

thanks it works now

[unkempt mauve]

discord is restricting my bot from sending interaction to info command. (other commands are interacted), why?

[slate swan]

how do you know that? is there an error?

[unkempt mauve]

The console throws a restricted message that only occurs when the info slash command is runned

and the interaction to the info command is not sent

[slate swan]

can you show it then?

[unkempt mauve]

sure

the both code and message?

[slate swan]

can be

[unkempt mauve]

error: code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ovepoyopib

The bot is hosted on a private server not repl it, So theres no chances of ip being shared

[naive briar]

How do you know

[unkempt mauve]

What do you mean how do you know?

Its literally in the console and also seen when the bot is not sending interaction

[naive briar]

How do you know that the IP isn't shared

[unkempt mauve]

It's a private server

[slate swan]

looking at the error looks like you are rate limited

[unkempt mauve]

other commands works fine

they do send interaction

[naive briar]

Doesn't mean the IP can't be shared

[unkempt mauve]

but my other commands are working

its only restricting the info command

[naive briar]

Why would they just rate limit a single command

[slate swan]

also @unkempt mauve i would recommend removing the error paste link

since it reveals your ip

[unkempt mauve]

btw I am on a vpn

🤣

[slate swan]

the error comes from the server so its server ip i belive

[unkempt mauve]

then I delete

the link

[slate swan]

did you try reseting the token? or rebooting your bot?

[unkempt mauve]

Okay what do I do? Could it be one of the following reasons?

1. The for loop that counts guild members and channels
2. The bot is banned from sending interaction to info command

[unkempt mauve]

I did restarted the server.

I should probably reset the token

If the bot was restricted, it should not be sending any interaction but it's only not sending to info command and other commands are working fine. thats so weird

[slate swan]

it does not you need to reset it on developer portal manually

and replace in your code

[unkempt mauve]

thats what I meant with resetting the token lul

[slate swan]

okay then

[unkempt mauve]

the bot is still being restricted from sending interaction to info command

breh

Why the other commands working then

its so weird

[naive briar]

The first one doesn't matter, you didn't do any requests except for responding

[slate swan]

no idea first one seeing this error you may want to ask at discord.py support server
discord.gg/dpy

[unkempt mauve]

Is discord having issues with guild things

[unkempt mauve]

Ofc its also first time for me. cuz I have never seen this happened. What I always saw was the whole bot was restricted

but the bot is now only restricted to a command

[eager portal]

How can I attach a local image to my embed to send in someones dm for example a captcha code and have them reply to the interaction with the correct code like as a select menu but where the user can input the correct code

[slate swan]

You can use Modal

!d discord.ui.Modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

Represents a UI modal.

Hi guys, i want to make a discord.py game bot, can anyone suggest me what type of game should I make, like which discord.py games are famous these days

[analog snow]

I know this is probably a stupid question, but do we like, need our own server to keep our bot online or will Discord provide us with one?

[sick birch]

You need your own

[analog snow]

Ok thank you for letting me know

[eager portal]

Can someone help me out, heres my capatcha embed:

I want the user to be able to respond to that with a drop down menu as an input but in dms with the correct capatcha code or just respond saying the code how can I do this

[smoky sinew]

use a modal

[eager portal]

I can't in dms

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_modal

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a modal.

[eager portal]

can I

[smoky sinew]

since when

[eager portal]

how do I? its not working form e

await dm.send_modal(CapatchaModel())

[smoky sinew]

why is it not working

you need an interaction

it's InteractionResponse.send_modal

[eager portal]

how can I send this in dms when a user joins my server

[smoky sinew]

maybe use a button to open the modal

[eager portal]

thanks mate

[robust fulcrum]

guys how can i make discord.py do hot reload?

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload\_extension

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

Atomically reloads an extension.

This replaces the extension with the same extension, only refreshed. This is equivalent to a [`unload_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension") followed by a [`load_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension") except done in an atomic way. That is, if an operation fails mid-reload then the bot will roll-back to the prior working state.

[robust fulcrum]

no,i mean to restart bot on file change or in any other files within folders

[smoky sinew]

restart it completely?

because reloading an extension is like ten times quicker than restarting your bot

[robust fulcrum]

i guess you not able to get what i mean

i mean something like nodemon(node js)

[smoky sinew]

yes i know what hot reload means

[robust fulcrum]

so how to do that?

[smoky sinew]

discord.py doesn't have any native support for it, the closest you can get is extension reloading which can be done on the fly, so you will need to build your own program that reloads extensions when their file changes

[robust fulcrum]

i tried watchdog bt its not working

import time
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler
import subprocess


class FileHandler(FileSystemEventHandler):
    def on_any_event(self, event) -> None:
        cmd = "python bot.py"
        subprocess.call(cmd, shell=True)


subprocess.call("python bot.py", shell=True)
event_handler = FileHandler()
observer = Observer()
observer.schedule(event_handler, path=".", recursive=True)
observer.start()
try:
    while True:
        time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    observer.stop()
observer.join()

[smoky sinew]

why are you fully restarting the bot

that's not what hot reload means at all

[robust fulcrum]

then how do you make bot? i mean any suggestion from your experience?

[smoky sinew]

like i said reload an extension within the bot, you could do it by running watchdog inside a separate thread

[robust fulcrum]

do you know why the watchdog runs command only once when i save file in the code i provided

[smoky sinew]

i wouldn't know i haven't touched watchdog

[eager portal]

How do I get the contents of the input from my modal>

[slate swan]

what library do you use?

[eager portal]

discord py

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/modals/basic.py#L57-L58

[slate swan]

look at the whole example how they did it

[eager portal]

How can I get the capatcha code to my modal:

        data = Capgen(member.display_name)
        modal = CapatchaModal()
        modal.code = data

[slate swan]

yo, can someone help me with something?

[smoky sinew]

floppa

[slate swan]

yep

[smoky sinew]

pass it as an argument

[smoky sinew]

someone know where is problem?

[slate swan]

https://tenor.com/view/flopa-gif-21947427

[vocal snow]

why use discord_slash? discord.py 2 has slash command support

[smoky sinew]

yes do not use discord_slash

[slate swan]

so, discord_slash is trash right?

[eager portal]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

do i need still implement watchdog to reload extension?

[smoky sinew]

that would be the best solution

[eager portal]

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'roles'

role = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.roles, name="ᴹᴱᴹᴮᴱᴿ")
await interaction.user.add_roles(role)

Why am i getting that error

[smoky sinew]

your interaction is in a DM, therefore the guild is None

[eager portal]

oh yes

[smoky sinew]

you should also at least be checking if the role exists, because otherwise you will get another error if the role is ever deleted or the wrong server is used

even if it's a private bot it's best not to hardcode it and put it as something configurable

[eager portal]

how can I give the user the role in the server from the guild id

[smoky sinew]

get the guild first

[eager portal]

yes got that

[smoky sinew]

remember the user isn't in a guild while in the dm

if you have the original member object you can use that since it will have a guild attribute

[sterile goblet]

so I started today and got here

how do you input slash commands on discord py

[twilit grotto]

look on discord.py’s github examples

[sterile goblet]

uhm okay

[slate swan]

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

[sterile goblet]

thanks

[tall temple]

how can i add option with @ decorator for slash command ?

[smoky sinew]

what

[tall temple]

add slash command option with @

like @bot.slash_command

etc etc

[smoky sinew]

what is slash command option

[tall temple]

discord.Option

like that

[smoky sinew]

discord.Option does not exist

options are created using arguments in functions

[smoky sinew]

then you aren't using discord.py

[tall temple]

yeah

i'm searching to use options with @ decorator bcz i need to add autocomplete but i need an information

[smoky sinew]

in discord.py you would need to use choices, literal, or autocomplete

[tall temple]

from discord.Member selector if you know what i mean x)

hm ?

that's not what i'm searching for :/

[tall temple]

@smoky sinew

i want to await ctx.respond("jsp sah") for first async

line 125

but how can i process ?

[smoky sinew]

what is option

[tall temple]

slash command option

[smoky sinew]

does that exist

[tall temple]

pycord

[smoky sinew]

ok

[tall temple]

could you help me about that ?

[unkempt mauve]

bruh use discord.py instead

[smoky sinew]

true

[tall temple]

there is no difference for that circumstance bcz it's python syntax

[unkempt mauve]

doesnt matter

discord.py is best

😑

[tall temple]

bruh

it's not the prob now ....

i just need to await something to the first async function

in 125th line

[unkempt mauve]

i dont think everyone here knows about the library u using

[smoky sinew]

no..

[tall temple]

. . . . . . .

[tall temple]

???

[smoky sinew]

decorators can only go on classes or functions

[slate swan]

is it discord.py

[tall temple]

no

[upbeat otter]

no

[ember glen]

Indentation boi, add some space in that await line so that it comes under async function ig

[smoky sinew]

like i said decorators can only go on classes or functions

[tall temple]

okok but how can i get the result i want with a correct syntax ?

[vocal snow]

decorators can only go on classes or functions

[tall temple]

okok but how can i get the result i want with a correct syntax ?

okok but how can i get the result i want with a correct syntax ?

okok but how can i get the result i want with a correct syntax ?

[ember glen]

Use the @Option above async and then align await with other code lines

Maybe that would work

[tall temple]

yeah but my option depends on customer option

to get customer.id @ember glen

[ember glen]

Hmm, that would be really complicated. Though, I would check out if I can help u with that

[sterile goblet]

question should i use visual studio with discord py

or use something else

like replit

[vocal snow]

replit isn't recommended: #965291480992321536 message

visual studio code or any other IDE/editor you like is fine

[sterile goblet]

oh okay thanks

[vocal snow]

I would also recommend taking the time to learn basic python first, since discord bots can be quite complex

[sterile goblet]

yuh i am doing that right now but just wanted to know the options I would have

[sterile goblet]

question

can I use pycharm

[vocal snow]

Sure

These are just tools to write the python program

It doesn't matter which one you use

[silent portal]

:D

[slate swan]

How do i create a button cooldown per user in discord.py?

[smoky sinew]

just create a dictionary within the view

[vale wing]

Unless it's minecraft enchantment table editor

[coral mirage]

can some one help me with tasks.loops. It's not running.

[vale wing]

You need to start it

You done that?

[coral mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nujebozubi

[coral mirage]

Yes

I think I started the right way.

[vale wing]

Not a good way to do startup task

You need to subclass the bot and do setup in overwritten setup_hook() method

Although regarding tasks I think they can be started literally after they've been defined

Like ```py
@tasks.loop(...)
async def your_task():
...

your_task.start()```

[coral mirage]

hmm alright, thank you. I'll check the classes.

Thanks a lot!

[coral mirage]

wait, actually when I call the commands it sends it's function, but it suppose to do it by every 5 sec by itself.

if I don't call the commands it won't update what it suppose to update.

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_until\_ready

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

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

Warning

Calling this inside [`setup_hook()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook "discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook") can lead to a deadlock.

[vale wing]

Just add this at the beginning of loop and it won't execute anything until bot is ready

[coral mirage]

Thanks mate!

[worthy cliff]

How do i run a function in discord.py that takes a while to finish? It throws some error saying something took too long or something

The function works fine when it doesn't need to run for long

Its the gpt-4 api btw

[ember glen]

use depher ig

[vocal snow]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

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

Defers the interaction response.

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

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

[ember glen]

yeah this one

Btw is there any way I can get the most recent message of a member?

[vocal snow]

Although some more information about the issue would be nice; is the GPT4 api wrapper async? Are you using slash commands at all? Etc

[eternal shuttle]

i cant use my clear command, is there anything wrong on my code?

[slate swan]

Do you get any errors?

[dire wind]

use the channel.history() method in discord.py

example: python @client.event async def on_message(message): if message.content.startswith('!recent'): member = message.author channel = message.channel async for msg in channel.history(limit=100): if msg.author == member: print(f"Most recent message from {member}: {msg.content}") break

[eternal shuttle]

lemme check rq

[dire wind]

send the code over

[eternal shuttle]

line 443, in delete_messages
raise ClientException('Can only bulk delete messages up to 100 messages')
discord.errors.ClientException: Can only bulk delete messages up to 100 messages

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

[dire wind]

send the script here

[eternal shuttle]

the whole thing?

[dire wind]

through https://paste.pythondiscord.com

just the command where the issue occurs

[eternal shuttle]

alright

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ibanayanuj

[slate swan]

You got answer

Can't delete more than 100 in one go

[eternal shuttle]

i was only trying to clear 10 messages

[dire wind]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/imehowexuh

[eternal shuttle]

alrighty thankyou so much

[dire wind]

np

[slate swan]

Giving straight answers isn't going to make him understand

[dire wind]

use the bulk_delete() method instead of delete_messages()

[naive briar]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge - or just this 🫠

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None, bulk=True, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") to delete messages even if they are your own. Having [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") is also needed to retrieve message history.

Changed in version 2.0: The `reason` keyword-only parameter was added.

[thin raft]

Does anyone have any resources on how could I make my own cooldown handler?

[slate swan]

wdym?

[thin raft]

    @commands.command()
    @commands.dynamic_cooldown(self.db.config.get_cooldown(ctx.author))
    async def fpp(self, ctx: commands.Context):```

I want to do that, but I can't for pretty obvious reasons

so instead of using the decorator is there any funciton I could use for checking the cooldown?

[slate swan]

rate or per ig

@commands.cooldown(rate=1, per=30, type=commands.BucketType.user)

like this ig

shall i ping?

@thin raftsry for ping i just wanna know does this work i learned it currently tho

[thin raft]

Let me a sec

Im eating rn

[slate swan]

lol sry

[thin raft]

k back

[thin raft]

[thin raft]

I need a dynamic cooldown

but I can't use self in the decorator

[slate swan]

ic

[slate swan]

sry but i didnt got the answer for this sry🙇

[thin raft]

ill make my own cooldown handler

[slate swan]

sry for being useless again

@thin raftumm, sir can i ask a quick question? pls.....

[thin raft]

fs

[slate swan]

umm how do u store data of users?

[thin raft]

I use a database

[slate swan]

like i learned sql but didnt still got how i can use it

or apply it

[thin raft]

start with sqlite3

[slate swan]

??

[thin raft]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html

take a look at it

[slate swan]

ty

[thin raft]

any question ping me

[slate swan]

ty sir

[twilit grotto]

depending on what its for and how many users, you could just go a simple route which is just having a json file you store data in

[slate swan]

?

its for storing data ig.....

[twilit grotto]

yes but on how big of a scale and whats the purpose of the program

[twilit grotto]

oh wait its a discord bot?

[slate swan]

ummm ya

?

[twilit grotto]

then i dont see any problem storing it in a json file, depending on how large of a scale you'd be saving though

want an example of how to do so?

[slate swan]

ya

fs

pls

json is not a database

[twilit grotto]

well, its easy to store data for a small scale

i never claimed it was a database

[slate swan]

it shouldnt be used to store dynamic data

only to transfer data

[twilit grotto]

meh, for a discord bot it doesn't really matter lets be frank

[slate swan]

doesnt matter what it is

databases are for storing data

[slate swan]

bruh wht is dynamic data'

[slate swan]

In data management, dynamic data or transactional data is information that is periodically updated

[twilit grotto]

i understand that but for a small scale discord bot, storing data in a json file is not a bad idea. i know plenty of people who do it, and frankly, it results in faster response times when grabbing the information out of the json file instead of a MySQL database for example, could purely be hosting and specifications of the server its hosted on but I'm not sure.

[slate swan]

ic

meaning you will update it once something happens

[slate swan]

oohh

[slate swan]

like getting coins and when u lose in gamble it will update it right?

[slate swan]

plenty people do it doesnt mean its correct and if querying json is faster for them it possibly means that they dont use async driver for database

[slate swan]

yes

ic

in short terms you should not update json file from code

oki

[ember glen]

I wanna create a music bot which will search through keywords, so anybody has a good idea who can provide me tutorial or something like that?

[slate swan]

can someone give me eample discord_components code?

[earnest swift]

here's an example of how to use the discord_components library to create a button in a Discord bot using Python and Discord.py:

import discord
from discord_components import DiscordComponents, Button, ButtonStyle

client = discord.Client()
DiscordComponents(client)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('!button'):
        btn = Button(style=ButtonStyle.blue, label="Click me!")
        await message.channel.send("Here's a button:", components=[btn])

@client.event
async def on_button_click(interaction):
    if interaction.component.label == "Click me!":
        await interaction.respond(content="Button clicked!")

client.run('your_token_here')

In this example, the on_message() event handler checks if the message starts with !button. If it does, it creates a Button object with the label "Click me!" and a blue style, and sends a message to the channel containing the button using the components parameter.

When the button is clicked, the on_button_click() event handler checks if the label of the clicked button is "Click me!" and responds with a message saying that the button was clicked using the interaction.respond() method.

Note that you need to install the discord-components library using pip in order to use it in your bot:

pip install discord-components

Also, make sure to enable the SERVER MEMBERS INTENT and GUILD MESSAGE REACTIONS intents in your bot's Discord Developer Portal in order to use the discord_components library.

[slate swan]

You shouldn't really use discord_components since it's already built in to discord.py

Also it's outdated

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it or Heroku for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

List comprehensions

Do you ever find yourself writing something like this?

>>> squares = []
>>> for n in range(5):
...    squares.append(n ** 2)
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Using list comprehensions can make this both shorter and more readable. As a list comprehension, the same code would look like this:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5)]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

List comprehensions also get an if clause:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5) if n % 2 == 0]
[0, 4, 16]

For more info, see this pythonforbeginners.com post.

[slate swan]

can i have the code? for test

!d list

[unkempt canyon]

list

class list([iterable])```
Lists may be constructed in several ways:

• Using a pair of square brackets to denote the empty list: `[]`

• Using square brackets, separating items with commas: `[a]`, `[a, b, c]`

• Using a list comprehension: `[x for x in iterable]`

• Using the type constructor: `list()` or `list(iterable)`...

[slate swan]

@slate swan do you mayb know

[slate swan]

when you run in vscode it actually runs a command for you try to copy this command and run in your command line

alr wait

i mean i know i can just do python -i code.py

[slate swan]

then how are you trying to run it?

by double clicking the python file

when i do that it instantly closes

also the text isnt grey idfk why it should be

[slate swan]

looks like the command line you used doesnt support this formatting

well i'll fix that another time for now but what do i do about the closing

[slate swan]

dont know actually
i know this happens when the program exits but with discord bot its not closing

maybe you run into errors but that shouldnt happen since you dont get any when running in vs code

i would just say to run it using command line

yeah i will, probably just gonna make a batch file to do it for me

[slate swan]

or this

yep

which discord library are you using

[slate swan]

im new to python

[slate swan]

can you explain better?

[smoky sinew]

which python package are you using for your discord bot

[slate swan]

not my bot just trying to use it so i dont know

[smoky sinew]

can you figure out

[magic topaz]

Pex: Is good to tell what you tried to do and what you exactly did and When the error came up. Otherwise not easy for them to help sometime. 😉

[slate swan]

i ran the command python main.py then the error message came up

[slate swan]

i dont know how to sorry

[smoky sinew]

that doesn't help at all

[smoky sinew]

you had to have something installed to run it in the first pllace

[slate swan]

i installed a load off modules

[smoky sinew]

which ones

[slate swan]

tls_client httpx discord discord_webhook colorama flask fade

can you do pip list and look if you see any of these:

discord.py
nextcord
disnake
py-cord

[slate swan]

yes, discord.py and py-cord

so you are using py-cord

[slate swan]

yes i think so then

[slate swan]

py-cord

[slate swan]

try discord.Attachment instead

[slate swan]

wdym? sorry, do i add that somewhere? or install it?

[magic topaz]

Can show Down the code you wrote maybe?

[slate swan]

i would prefer not to share my code sorry i know that will not help

[slate swan]

can you at least show the command that throws the error

[magic topaz]

or send it him in private?!

[slate swan]

this is an error

im asking for the code that throws it

i dont know thats why im asking in here hoping for help

show line 79 from main.py

[magic topaz]

Can't sell a pair of gloves if only offer the left one ^ ^

[slate swan]

okay and whats below it?

[slate swan]

please come dms

[smoky sinew]

bruh

[slate swan]

i dont want to reveal

[smoky sinew]

then we can't help

lmaoo

[tropic ruin]

i am making discord bots with python which db should i use

[slate swan]

any is good

depends if you want sql or nosql

[slate swan]

i can show in dms or in your server?

[smoky sinew]

nope

you can show it here

@young peak

[smoky sinew]

his bot was against tos lmao

[tacit sentinel]

Writing to channel.

import discord

client = discord.Client()
TOKEN = 'your_bot_token_here'
CHANNEL_ID = 'your_channel_id_here'

def send_to_channel(message):
    channel = client.get_channel(CHANNEL_ID)
    return channel.send(message)

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

client.run(TOKEN)

How can I write to a channel without using events?

I want to use it like print().

[unkempt mauve]

probably cant

[vocal snow]

you're already doing that?

get_channel -> channel.send

[ember glen]

is there any good tutorial, i can refer to create a music bot which will search using keywords and link both?

[sick birch]

Search using keywords on what platform?

[vale wing]

His own music database with license obtained for each track obviously

[vale wing]

channel_id = 1234567890123456789  # notice it's a number
channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
await channel.send("stuff")```

[ember glen]

spotify and youtube

[azure quiver]

Recently, I switched my bot's library from discord.py to py-cord (a fork of discord.py) and I am finding it to be better so far with less modules being depreciated.

[meager chasm]

Better in what way?

[vale wing]

Imho all 3 main forks are better than dpy itself lol, I personally use disnake

[azure quiver]

I ran into issues with a few modules being depreciated and having to look for different solutions around it or what not, haven't ran into that so far with py-cord.

[vale wing]

For example in disnake you have the following pros

1. Automatic handling of common stuff, i.e. tree syncing
2. If in dpy you gotta do interaction.response.send_message and interaction.followup.send, in disnake you have it too + automatic inter.send (and yeah inter name there is conventional)
3. Disnake has interaction events and errors differentiation, eg. on_button_click, different classes for different interactions, on_slash_command_error, on_message_command_error while dpy doesn't even have event for app commands error handling, it has @tree.error
4. Universal checks, you don't have to write discord.app_commands.checks.has_role, it's just commands.has_role, just as for prefix commands

However some cons

1. I don't like disnake modals implementation (I use my own)
2. No setup_hook, but you can just overwrite start so not a big deal

[rugged shadow]

For the "no setup_hook point", couldn't you just start your bot in an async context and do whatever you need to do before awaiting .start()?

[topaz pumice]

i would like to share this massive traceback
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/akilitokak

[ember glen]

so it means I can't do that :(

is there any other way?

[vale wing]

I typically just override start() it's more elegant imo

[vale wing]

Have own music database with license obtained for each track 😃

[dry kelp]

Why i can't decode that url?

[vale wing]

You have blocking code somewhere. It's typically image processing (should be runned in executor), database (should use async wrapper), or requests (use aiohttp instead)

[vale wing]

The request returned html, you can't convert it to json

[dry kelp]

Yeah, httpcache is blocking it then

[vale wing]

🧐

[dry kelp]

?

[knotty mountain]

I have a bot with some commands and a cog with a couple commands in it as well, would it be better to move all commands to cogs?

[golden portal]

yes its better to categorize your commands

[dry kelp]

I am having another issue with some API, can't pull out some data from a HTML url

This will be sent

[vocal snow]

You have to await the coroutine

[dry kelp]

Doesn't work

[tacit sentinel]

I know its a number...

[vale wing]

Well in your code it was a string

[vale wing]

To retrieve html you have to await response.body.read() iirc

And typically for webscraping you would use selenium or beautifulsoup

[fossil abyss]

Hi Everyone, I'm Jasper!
I'm Looking To Start A New Project(Discord Bot) I Already Have Some Bot's Commands If Anyone Wants To Join The Project, Feel Free To Join & Make, If You Want More About Details About The Bot DM Me I'll Be Sharing You A Server Where We Test The Server, We'll Be Using replit.com for the writing code of the bot, at it will be easier, Just A Quick REMINDER NOTE: I'm Not Gonna Be Paying Anyone This Is Just A Fun Discord Bot Project Which Will Be Made And Used By Other Users & Servers, For More Details & Discussion About How It's Gonna Go With Bot, All of Your Questions Can Be Asked In Dm's, If Your A Beginner in discord.py No Problem As While You Develop The Bot You Can Learn More While Coding It, I Would Be Really Hoping Anyone Would Join This Project And Work Together. : D

[lucid kite]

!rules advertising

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

6. Do not post unapproved advertising.

[lucid kite]

i'm not sure if it is, but comes off like it

[fossil abyss]

Hi Dude!, It's Not Advertising, I'm Just Asking Others To Join The Project I Noted That I'm Not Paying Anyone So It Dos Not Come In Jobs, And This Is Not Advertising As I Did Not Say Anyone To Use This Or That, This Is Just, "Hiring Other People To Make A Project For Fun Without Payment, No Matter What Stage Of Learning Your In Discord.py".

[lucid kite]

This Is Just, "Hiring Other People"

sounds like unpaid work in disguise to me

[vale wing]

Nah it's collaborators seeking

Not a big deal imho

[abstract relic]

Should Be Banned For Capitalization In Any Case

[vale wing]

But Why Type Everything From Capital Letter It's Literally Impossible To Read

[fossil abyss]

That's Just My Way For Typing

[fossil abyss]

Why So?

[fossil abyss]

btw anyone is joining

[vale wing]

"we'll be using replit to write code" already prevented most of experienced developers from joining your project

No offense

[abstract relic]

Maybe. Add. A. Period. After. Every. Word. As. Well. To. Make. Your. Style. Even. More. Stylisher.

[vocal snow]

Pydis should add an lfg channel specifically for those looking for contributors

[vale wing]

Live coding is very inconvenient, trust me, when I was inexperienced and still showing my leadership skills it failed real hard. Git is the way for collaboration and now I am managing bobux bot project with like 6 other developers

Ofc learning from own mistakes is more efficient but it's better just to take recommendations into account

[vale wing]

Fr

[still sentinel]

It's been suggested many times, but it gets abused by people who are paying/buying, and it's more effort to police that than we can expect volunteers to contribute.

[fossil abyss]

Then We Can Do In VScode, Dos'nt Matter In Which Editor Your Doing, Only The "Discord Bot" Is Important

[vale wing]

"Live coding" is the thing you should avoid (for this case)

"Version control system" is what you need to learn

[knotty mountain]

Can I have functions other than setup in an extension

[fossil abyss]

Well It's Not Live Coding As Different People Will Be Doing Different Things For The Bot, And Then Combine The Code To The Bot Code, Anyways It's Just Command Or Any Other Things

[vale wing]

Uh sure why not, but generally it's better to bring them into separate modules in sort of utils directory and import from there

[fossil abyss]

But Really Anyone Wants To Join???

[vale wing]

Yeah that's the good way

[fossil abyss]

Well, Will You Join @vale wing ?

[vale wing]

Nah thanks as I already mentioned I am project manager of bobux bot

[fossil abyss]

Awwww, Please???

Your Choice, The Bot We're Working On Is'nt Going To Be Big Like bobux bot, It's Just A Simple Bot Not Very Big Something Like Dank Or Bobux.

[broken jackal]

Is there a bot that will play a random yt video from a playlist at a random time?

[fossil abyss]

No ig?

[vocal snow]

What do you mean by "play" a video

[broken jackal]

What is ig

[fossil abyss]

I Guess

[broken jackal]

I meant like youtube

[fossil abyss]

Zeffo, Can You Join?

Your Not A Manager In Any Other Bot Right

Please 🥺

[vocal snow]

Do you want it to send YouTube links from a playlist periodically?

[fossil abyss]

already Youtube Has One Button, "Play Random Video From Playlist"

[broken jackal]

Aaah, no I meant play the song at random times and not at the start

[vocal snow]

We can't help with bots that use ytdl

[fossil abyss]

Yeah

[fossil abyss]

@vocal snow ?

[broken jackal]

ah ok thanks anyway, if you know another way to that without bots please share so

[vale wing]

YouTube ToS prohibit streaming of their content on other platforms so there's no other legal way

[fossil abyss]

Yes, Recently Groovy Got Banned For Premium Members, As Youtube Has To Pay

@vocal snow will u join???

Could Anyone Really Just Join The Project? It Will Be A Fun Now, Please?

[glad cradle]

stop continously asking, if someone is interested he'll respond

[fossil abyss]

Okay

[slate swan]

Lol

[slate swan]

Replit is my religion

[cloud dawn]

It's definitely a cult, enclosed and unrecognized lol

[rugged shadow]

oh man I sure do love hosting all of my Discord bots on Replit

hopefully nothing goes wrong when my bot gets big

[slate swan]

Also make sure not to use secrets

[rugged shadow]

of course, I love hardcoding my secrets into my 2k+ line main.py

and using f-strings to place user input into SQL queries

[slate swan]

Obviously

[fossil abyss]

Will You Join?

[slate swan]

Join?

[fossil abyss]

The Project

[fossil abyss]

We Were Talk'in About this

It Will Be Really Good If You Join @slate swan

[slate swan]

?

Look the message above

damn sir u found that for me

thts so kind of u

btw i forgot the site from where i was learning sqlite3

[thin raft]

how many people are you going to ask?

[fossil abyss]

Max. 5

Right Now 2 ppl are there

me & @robust fulcrum

[slate swan]

can i?

.....

[fossil abyss]

Sure!, Do You Know Discord.py?

Can You Work On It?

[slate swan]

little

[fossil abyss]

Like On A Ecnomic Bot???

??

[slate swan]

guess i am not worthy currently to work sry for wasting ur time

[fossil abyss]

Can You Do Some Commands From That Type Of Bot???

[fossil abyss]

heh np

[slate swan]

sry

[fossil abyss]

Join, your accepted

[thin raft]

@fossil abyss send the github repo

[fossil abyss]

@slate swan, You Can Join 😄

[slate swan]

there is still many things i have to learn ig

[fossil abyss]

Well, We'll Be Using replit.com so no need, but if you want Github Only I'll Make One

[thin raft]

I just want to see the code

[fossil abyss]

you can learn while we make, it even makes you learn form us

[slate swan]

is tht okay to you if someone as dumb as me join ur crew?

sry for saying crew

🙇

[fossil abyss]

Yo, I'm Not so much learnt Discord.py

either, i'm making this bot with same expierence in bot like u

so no problem, @slate swan any more question?

@thin raft is this ok? or shall i use paste and send here in discord???

[thin raft]

you should check what classes and cogs are

[fossil abyss]

???

[slate swan]

nope but how are we going to get started like at which platform
sry for asking these types of questions so early sry

[fossil abyss]

wdym?

[fossil abyss]

one humble request pls don't say sorry everyone time

[slate swan]

no GitHub?

[cloud dawn]

You leaked your token

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

sry for sying sry f

oof

[thin raft]

kinda weird hosting it on replit and no on github

[fossil abyss]

im changing it

[fossil abyss]

ok i will do that

github

[slate swan]

I know man

[slate swan]

yo sir ''

[cloud dawn]

@fossil abyss And please look at the date of the tutorial you used to make the current code. This is from 2019 or smth.

[slate swan]

sir wht is replit i mean i can google it but......

[fossil abyss]

No, The Tutorial is 2022

[fossil abyss]

its a wesite to write code smthing like vscode

[slate swan]

No need to know you shouldn't host bots there that's all you need to know about it

[slate swan]

bruh

[slate swan]

then why we dont use vs code

[fossil abyss]

uhmm, in github how do you make a new file in github?

[fossil abyss]

i use both

[slate swan]

You should prolly clone repo to your pc

[cloud dawn]

Yeah if you work in a team just use Docker then you are certain everyone has the same environment.

[slate swan]

Then add files and push them to GitHub

[slate swan]

sry sir but am asking cant we work in vs code?

[fossil abyss]

yes we can work in vscode

no problem we can use vscode, if u want let's use it

So, @slate swan your joining or not???

[slate swan]

one sec

[fossil abyss]

plz don't call me "sir"

[slate swan]

sir lancebot

@lament depot

sir robin

@dim ruin

And many other sir s

[slate swan]

dm check pls

[fossil abyss]

?

@slate swan Yes Or No???

[slate swan]

ya am in

ty

[fossil abyss]

@slate swan check ur dms plz

[brisk bobcat]

Hey, can someone help me with my bot?

[thin raft]

don't ask to ask

[brisk bobcat]

So, i just made 'Bridge' bot

You send a message to #channel1
Bot copies the message and send it to #channel2
And i need to add 'Owner WhiteList' - Normal user can't use it, only WhiteListed user can.

DM's open.

[white citrus]

How can i force a bot to deaf him his self on a vc join

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.VoiceState.self_deaf

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceState.self\_deaf

Indicates if the user is currently deafened by their own accord.

[white citrus]

I tried but its not possible

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Member.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.edit

await edit(*, nick=..., mute=..., deafen=..., suppress=..., roles=..., voice_channel=..., timed_out_until=..., bypass_verification=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the member’s data.

Depending on the parameter passed, this requires different permissions listed below...

[vocal snow]

deafen

you can get the bot's Member object from guild.me

[cloud dawn]

You are probably doing it wrong then since you give a voice state after it.

[cloud dawn]

I mean you could but why make an extra call.

[brisk bobcat]

So can anyone help me? 😄

[vocal snow]

What's the extra call?

[cloud dawn]

The member edit

If you define a voice client you can just pass the self_deaf.

self.voice_client = await inter.user.voice.channel.connect(reconnect=True, timeout=None, self_deaf=True)

[plucky sun]

how to fix error? Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\KokoG\PycharmProjects\Logger\venv\Lib\site-packages\discord\ui\view.py", line 427, in _scheduled_task await item.callback(interaction) File "C:\Users\KokoG\PycharmProjects\Logger\main.py", line 86, in button_callback await interaction.response.send_message('test') ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'Button' object has no attribute 'response' code: class Whitelist(discord.ui.View): # Create a class called MyView that subclasses discord.ui.View @discord.ui.button(label="Whitelist", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="📃") # Create a button with the label "😎 Click me!" with color Blurple async def button_callback(self, button, interaction): await interaction.response.send_message('test')

[vocal snow]

oh i see

[vocal snow]

interaction param comes before button

[plucky sun]

how to fix?

[vocal snow]

the error says the interaction variable is Button object, which should make that clear

[vocal snow]

put the interaction param before button??

[plucky sun]

thx

@vocal snow how to make slash commands ?

[vocal snow]

which library are you using?

[plucky sun]

I didn't understand the question

[vocal snow]

are you using discord.py or some other wrapper

[plucky sun]

discord.py

[vocal snow]

https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f

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

[plucky sun]

not working @bot.tree.command(name="ping", description="...") async def _ping(interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None: await interaction.response.send_message("pong")

[cloud dawn]

Please keep reading. This tutorial is good.

[reef gazelle]

Which tutorial? The discordpy docs ?

[white citrus]

Doesn't exist in nextcord

[reef gazelle]

Are people still creating bots with prefix checks or is it better to just purely use slash commands now?

Seen with slash commands could be hard to test stuff if using global slash commands cause of the time it takes to register them?

Just use guild specific ones for testing as an alternative?

[vocal snow]

https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/api.html#nextcord.Guild.change_voice_state

discord.py calls that method internally

[vocal snow]

it doesn't take much time to register them anymore

and for testing, you should just sync the commands to your testing guild instead of globally

[reef gazelle]

Thanks 🙂

Ah see i can just use hybrid commands also

So offers prefixed and slash command

[white citrus]

And how he deafs himself when he doesn't become deaf

[vocal snow]

What

[reef gazelle]

I got no clue but i think he’s on about how music bots will join a channel deafened and if you try undeafen them they will just deafen themselves

[vocal snow]

this is how to join it deafened, to keep it deafened after being undeafened you'd need to use an event like on_voice_state_update

[eager portal]

I'm using nextcord IPC, I can't seem to find what commands I can use like py await ipcClient.request("get_guild_count") in the get_guid_count

[cloud dawn]

!d nextcord.VoiceState.self_deaf

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.VoiceState.self\_deaf

Indicates if the user is currently deafened by their own accord.

[cloud dawn]

It does.

[white citrus]

Yeah but i need a bot event if a user undeafs the bot

[cloud dawn]

Why?

It's a self dead no one could even undeaf it.

[cold sonnet]

prolly wants to be server deafen

[cloud dawn]

True but that would make 0 sense.

[cold sonnet]

it's what most bots did I don't know what's up with them

[reef gazelle]

Oh yeah forgot that

I use a music bot and it used to be server deafened

But it’s actually self deaf now

[cloud dawn]

Yeah idk why people still server deaf it.

[reef gazelle]

Just do that so much easier and you won’t need the extra code for change

[cloud dawn]

Saves so much trouble

[reef gazelle]

If i’m looking to write a bot will be first one in python done one in JS before tho it was basic, should I Integrate postgres from the start if i want to use it down the line like is it hard to put in at a later date

Basically wanna add some fun gambling games into the bot so will need to store UID and a integer for balance

But then can obviously build to like per guild prefix and setting log channels

[slate swan]

If you already have plans, why not preparing the database from the start already?

[reef gazelle]

Yeah i will was basically asking if that’s best

I’m gonna do the basic commands first though

But i’ll just implement the database and prepare it from start

[rustic panther]

is there such a thing of a bot generating random numbers in a number range ?

[reef gazelle]

Like picking a number between 1-1000?

[rustic panther]

similar but like 2,5,19,23,45,31

[cold sonnet]

random.choice(range(10000000))

[reef gazelle]

Can just use pythons random module and use a for loop

[cold sonnet]

either you think a module's gonna reduce the abilities of python or you don't know how to choose a random number in python at all

neither of the cases is really good

[rustic panther]

we gonna go with I dont know how to use python at all and the last time i tried learning a programming language was back in the 90's

[cold sonnet]

holy

[rustic panther]

lol

[cold sonnet]

he could be my father

[rustic panther]

yes im old

[reef gazelle]

you can use numpy also i believe

it has: random.randomint(1,100, size=(1,5))

would give you an array of 5 integers
