[slate swan]

Can you show full traceback?

[rustic onyx]

updated original message

[slate swan]

It occures when launching discord bot?

[rustic onyx]

yes

[slate swan]

Does the bot work after all?

You may want to try updating discord.py to latest version pip install -U discord.py

[rustic onyx]

omfg I was running the bot without the venv

[slate swan]

[solar coyote]

is there any way to wait again cause what if another person clicsk button instead on intended one

[solar coyote]

?rtfm interaction.wait()

[rustic onyx]

/Cogs/embed.py
    @commands.command()
    async def testembed(self, ctx: commands.Context, message):
        print("called")
        if ctx.interaction is not None:
            print("Interaction")
        else:
            print("Not interaction")

``` is there something wrong with this? I've been trying to call this function for a few mins and no luck. I know my bot is identifying the message cause in my main.py I've an on_message callback thats printing my messages

[smoky sinew]

no

class Bot(discord.Bot):

[rustic onyx]

yup I ended up changing that

I'll start from scratch anyways

@rustic onyx client does not support prefix commands, bot does

that's why bot is in the commands package

[rustic onyx]

tysm for the answer

is there a way I can show an app command only to users with certain roles?

[smoky sinew]

don't think so

you can do permissions but not roles i think

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.has\_permissions

@discord.app_commands.checks.has_permissions(**perms)```
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 has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the permissions given by [`discord.Interaction.permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.permissions "discord.Interaction.permissions").

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under [`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions").

This check raises a special exception, [`MissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.MissingPermissions "discord.app_commands.MissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CheckFailure "discord.app_commands.CheckFailure").

ty

[eager portal]

anyone able@to belo me

help*

[smoky sinew]

just ask your question

[timid spade]

anyone know how can i always run main file no matter what file i am on? i am using code runner extention on VS code

[rugged shadow]

is it just me or is registering slash commands taking long?

[naive briar]

If you're syncing globally, then probably

[rugged shadow]

really? i thought global registering times were shortened a few months ago

[upbeat gust]

Should only take a few seconds

[upbeat gust]

Why tho- also don't use code runner, it's just not well made for python

[rugged shadow]

@bot.slash_command()
async def pgdb(inter: ApplicationCommandInteraction) -> None:
    """Ping the database."""

    if db is None:
        await inter.response.send_message(
            "❌ No connection has been made", ephemeral=True
        )
        return

    if db.is_closed():
        await inter.response.send_message("❌ Database is closed", ephemeral=True)
        return

    await inter.response.send_message("✅ Database is fine", ephemeral=True)


async def main() -> None:
    """Starts the bot."""

    load_dotenv()

    await connect_to_database()
    await initialize_database()

    await bot.start(os.environ["BOT_TOKEN"])


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
``` could there be something wrong?

the cmd is just not showing up in the server

[upbeat gust]

I don't use pycord or whatever this is

[rugged shadow]

ah nah this is disnake

[upbeat gust]

ok

[timid spade]

well i got used to it cuz it auto saves code but now i am not using it, i am running manually by prompt

[rugged shadow]

well, regardless of library, are there any common causes for the commands to not show up?

[upbeat gust]

Just use the python extensions run button? Autosave is also built into vsc

[upbeat gust]

uhh not syncing

[timid spade]

with python extension is it possible to run a specific file no matter the selected file

[upbeat gust]

Why would you want to do that

[timid spade]

i sorted bot in different files, when debugging have to run main file again and again to see but i am on one the other files changing things and hoping it to work. in short i have to shift to main file again and again to check my code

[timid spade]

i am trying this to transform a list of .Role and .TextChannel objects into a list of their ids but its not wrking, i dont get it.

[naive briar]

Just

channels = [...] # your list of channels

channel_ids = [channel.id for channel in channels]

How hard can it be

Why do you want a list of their IDs anyway? You can just access them by the property

[timid spade]

well some of them can be a string too

[timid spade]

i am gonna use ids for uh, storing? in database? like a welcome channel and stuff

[naive briar]

What??

[timid spade]

the list, it has channels, roles and strings. thats why i wanted strings to stay same but channels and roles gets replaced by the ids

[naive briar]

Then just

data = [...] # your list of channels, ...

ids = [channel.id if hasattr(channel, "id") else item for item in data]

How hard can it be

[pine nexus]

ok I have a problem and I've been sent here to ask

I need to iterate a function separately for each server my bot is in, so I put it in a class

but I can't dynamically instantiate the class

I have the guild ids via

        var = []
        for guild in client.guilds:
            var.append(guild.id)

[naive briar]

!list-comp

[unkempt canyon]

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.

[naive briar]

What's that even mean

[pine nexus]

basically I have a settings function that's specific to one server. I've put it inside a class so it can iterate separately and have different settings for different servers

but in order to instantiate the class I need to set the name which I can't do dynamically

like, I can do
12345 = Test()
but not

guild.id = 12345
(guild.id) = Test()

obv that's not valid syntax but that's the goal

[naive briar]

What goal

[pine nexus]

to create an object dynamically, using the id as a part of the name, which is an instance of the class Test()

[naive briar]

Why? just why

[pine nexus]

to have separate instances of the settings function for each server

._.

[naive briar]

Then just store them somewhere, like dict

[pine nexus]

so, in the function I define variables, and I want to be able to have a set of those variables for each server

which is what classes are for, right?

[naive briar]

Show the code, I don't understand

[pine nexus]

okok

so I have a txt file for each server with their settings. The for line section reads the doc and stores the values of the settings

the if ic section makes any changes if the person running the function updated a setting

the final section updates the python variables

the idea is to have each server use its own instance of this function so I can run servera.var1 = x and serverb.var1= y

99% of it works, I just need to define the name of the object so it's unique but I can identify it

I can hardcode the server id in and it works fine

        set12345 = Settings()
        await set12345.prechecks("initall", None, 12345)

but I need to be able to define "set12345" using guild.id(so like "set{guild.id} = Settings"

[naive briar]

Where did you get this idea

Just use dictionary at this point, you'd get less trouble

[pine nexus]

the deepest depths of my brain I think 😭

I guess the question is, am I able to instantiate a class like that using a dict?

[naive briar]

Why would you

[pine nexus]

why what 😐

[pallid turtle]

What problem would be solved by being able to do it that way?

[timid spade]

damn thanks. i didnt know about hasattr

[pine nexus]

it makes the entire settings function server-specific, so different servers can set and update a different set of settings.

It works when I hardcode the name of the object, but that doesn't scale well. If I can create the object name using the guild.id string/int, it's fully dynamic

it solves me having to manually write in "server23456 = Settings()" somewhere in the startup

every time another server invites the bot

[pallid turtle]

That sounds like the province of a database.

Or bot implemented database stuff.

[pine nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/hwhat-thehairyhare-gif-22362405

[pallid turtle]

Persistent, structured storage that the bot can query and write information to in a way sensible to your goal.

[pine nexus]

ok I'm sorry I know I'm being really confusing, let me boil it down.

I have a class and need to make an object ObjectNameHaha = Settings()

Is it possible to create the object by setting the name of the object from a variable

ObjectNameHaha = 12345

[pallid turtle]

I would ask what the common implementation patterns are for bots.

How people organise things to deal with different settings per server.

[pine nexus]

Well for large servers they use sharding which I think is different instances of the bot altogether, but that's "not recommended for bots with less than 1000 servers"

[pallid turtle]

Variables should always be static.

Nor should objects' behaviour alter based on what variables point to them.

If you want any sort of dynamic behaviour based on name, dictionaries are the go.

[pine nexus]

well the behavior of the class doesn't change based on what object is running, it's just that each object needs a separate set of the same variables while still running the function

[pallid turtle]

Names being given to the instances at creation.

[pine nexus]

yes ^

that's what I need

I just need to give it a name at creation, where I have the name already as the value of a variable

[pallid turtle]

class Bot:
    def __init__(self, id_):
        self.id_ = id_
bots = {}
id_ = 123
bots[id_] = Bot(id_)```Adapt as required.

[pine nexus]

d is unresolved?

[pallid turtle]

Create beforehand. Sorry. It was implied.

[pine nexus]

so what is d

ah

[pallid turtle]

dict

[pine nexus]

ok 1s lemme test this rq

it works

omg

looking back I realize this is what you had tried offering as a solution before, but I had asked if you're able to define the class object in a dict and the conversation had moved on 😐

I appreciate you all, sorry for being such a headache lol

[pallid turtle]

All good.

[pine nexus]

now I just have to figure out how to update the rest of the bot to use the server-specific vars

wish me luck 😭

[smoky sinew]

why not a database

you said something that scales well

[pine nexus]

idk a thing about databases

[smoky sinew]

what you're saying doesn't make sense at all, you're not saving the server settings anywhere

[pine nexus]

I am though

I have a txt file

for each server

[smoky sinew]

that doesn't scale well either

[sick birch]

Is that a problem?

After all, not knowing something is one of the easiest problems you can fix.

[pine nexus]

very true but solving a problem by using the knowledge you have does work sometimes 😐

except when I'm a stupid little baby

[smoky sinew]

at some point you are going to find that text files do not fit your use case well enough

databases are meant for storing data persistently and will work well per server since you only have to make a query

[pine nexus]

yes I will, as it scales the text files will be bad

[smoky sinew]

i would recommend sqlite/postgres or mongodb

mongodb is a lot simpler

[pine nexus]

it was my solution when the bot was just in one server, and while it works for a small sample relatively well, it will eventually become highly inefficient. But I'll cross that bridge later because it's a working solution for now that lets me work on scaling other aspects of the bot

[pine nexus]

good to know, I'll keep this in mind for sure

[smoky sinew]

why not at least use json so you don't have to parse the text files

[pine nexus]

that is a good idea actually, I understand that json is good for that sort of thing. I'll look into that

[swift acorn]

Hello, I'm trying to make a slash command only work in DMs but this doesn't seem to be working

@bot.tree.command(name="report", description="Report a user to our team!")
async def report(interaction : discord.Interaction):
    print(interaction.channel)
    if not isinstance(interaction.channel, discord.DMChannel):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Please use this command in DMs!", ephemeral=True)
        return

It returns False even in DMs

[formal basin]

how can error handle in slash commands?

[swift acorn]

If you want one general one for all slash commands, something like this

@bot.event
async def on_slash_command_error(interaction : discord.Interaction, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You don't have permission to use this command!", ephemeral=True)
    elif isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Command not found.", ephemeral=True)
    else:
        print(f"An error occurred: {error}")

[formal basin]

thanks

[slate swan]

TIL that slash commands work in DMs apparently.

i was about to say, "they don't work in DMs", but apparently they do.

[formal basin]

that does not work

[swift acorn]

Ah I wonder why, it works for me

[slate swan]

any associated error?

[formal basin]

does CheckFailure = Missingpermissions

[formal basin]

MissingPermissions

[slate swan]

does that come in the terminal or?

[formal basin]

yes

[slate swan]

oh

[formal basin]

should i change CheckFailure to Missingpermissions @swift acorn?

[swift acorn]

Oh yeah sorry, because in my code I have a custom check on commands

[formal basin]

ok

[formal basin]

oh

[formal basin]

why does it still not work

its still showing the error in the consle

*console

#1109741614655610903

[smoky sinew]

just check interaction.guild instead

[smoky sinew]

this event does not exist

[naive briar]

I wonder why

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.error

@error(coro)```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

This must match the signature of the [`on_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error "discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error") callback.

The error passed will be derived from [`AppCommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AppCommandError "discord.app_commands.AppCommandError").

[swift acorn]

yeah I was just trying it out and I noticed I just saw it from somewhere and implemented it never tried it

[swift acorn]

I am just checking with interaction.id and channel.id now it works

[smoky sinew]

why would you do that

[swift acorn]

because it works

[smoky sinew]

there's a much easier way

if interaction.guild is None:
    await interaction.response.send_message("This command can't be used in DMs.")
    return

[swift acorn]

ah but I want it to be used in DMs only

[smoky sinew]

then do the opposite

is not none

[swift acorn]

alright thank you I will do that then

[swift acorn]

also may I ask how I can handle slash command errors then

[smoky sinew]

@naive briar already linked it

CommandTree.error decorator

[swift acorn]

so

@CommandTree.error
# do stuff here?

sorry I like can never understand it from docs until I see an example

[solar coyote]

i tried it didnt work as expected now im using other stuff sorta working

[obsidian fable]

class PreviewButton(ui.Button):
        async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            response = requests.get(preview)
            with open(f"{name}.mp3", "wb") as f:
                f.write(response.content)

            with open(f"{name}.mp3", "rb") as f:
                await interaction.response.send_message("Here's the preview:", file=File(f, filename=f"{name}.mp3"))

I am trying to make the bot sends an mp3 file when a button is pressed, but I don't know if this is the correct way

[naive briar]

What's wrong with it? If it works, it works

[glad cradle]

sigh requests

[naive briar]

Not efficiently though

[obsidian fable]

'File' is not defined

[naive briar]

I wonder why

[obsidian fable]

I really dont know why 💀

[naive briar]

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=..., description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[timid spade]

i think i have closed it

[glad cradle]

making a request with the requests module will block the event loop of the bot (this mean that your Bot will not be able to respond to commands and other things)

you should use an asynchronous module to make requests such as aiohttp

!pypi aiohttp

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp v3.8.4

Async http client/server framework (asyncio)

[glad cradle]

this comes already installed with D.py or forks

[naive briar]

Show the full code, you could have missed it somewhere else

[glad cradle]

and you don't need to save the file to send it, you can just use io.BytesIO

[obsidian fable]

with the aiohttp package?

with aiohttp you read the response and its bytes, with the bytes you construct a BytesIO object, later you'll pass the BytesIO object to discord.File

[obsidian fable]

I see, thank you.

[glad cradle]

probably you need to defer the interaction

!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).

        embed.set_author(name=f"{artists}")
        embed.set_footer(text=uri)

            await message.channel.send(embed=embed, view=view)
        else:
            await message.channel.send(embed=embed)

Any ways to only show PreviewButton even if canvas_url does not start with https?

do I call ui.View twice?

[naive briar]

What

[lean harbor]

How would i format a items info, if the item info data that is going to be formatted is in a database?

[glad cradle]

just add the items in some if conditions

like if it start with https add what you want, otherwise add something else

[sonic cloud]

how do i make my discord bot 24/7

[glad cradle]

you need a paid host

[sonic cloud]

like what

[swift acorn]

or repl.it but that still goes down sometimes

[swift acorn]

I personally use Cybrancee it's not the best but cheap enough

[lean harbor]

no you don't

[swift acorn]

Also could anyone please tell me how to use this because I cannot figure it out

[sonic cloud]

can you help me with it rq like in a vc

[swift acorn]

sorry I can't rn, but on YT freecodecamp.org has a good video explaining it simply

[naive briar]

How come

[smoky sinew]

yes you do

stop telling people to use replit

[lean harbor]

you don't need a paid host

use uptimerobot

[lean harbor]

why

[slate swan]

Anyone see my help post pls

[slate swan]

You can ik 2 ways

[sonic cloud]

can you help me with it in a vc

[slate swan]

#965291480992321536 message

[smoky sinew]

their machines are underpowered, they make your source code public including any secrets that you might've forgotten to leave out, their built-in editor sucks, your server will shut down within a few minutes of inactivity, all to save a few dollars actually investing in a decent host

[naive briar]

That's a website monitoring tool

It has nothing to do with hosting

And don't even try to use it with replit

[lean harbor]

paired with uptimerobot. I've used it and it works

[slate swan]

^ uptimerobot just keeps pinging the webserver making replit think that the repl is actually active.

[naive briar]

You'll be rate limited eventually

[sonic cloud]

i dont really care if i have to pay for it or not im just trying to get it to work 😦

[slate swan]

if you have a credit card you have decent options like azure, digitalocean, google cloud etc open for ( a year or so ) for free.... you can also use railway.app for free

[smoky sinew]

use something like a systemd service or a docker container

[glad cradle]

sigh

[sonic cloud]

the problem isnt that i dont know what service to use its more about when i try to get the bot running with the service the bot wont launch

[slate swan]

you need to install python and your project requirements on these services

which might include but is not limited to discord.py

[sonic cloud]

is there anyone who can help me in a vc with it

[glad cradle]

wait railway is free?

[slate swan]

for 20 days~/month , if you provide credit card info it can last for even 30 days/month

[sonic cloud]

i dont know how to get the bot to launch in a cloud but i can launch it from the file

[smoky sinew]

are you making a systemd service

[sonic cloud]

what does that mean

[smoky sinew]

systemd is a service manager for linux

[sonic cloud]

well i dont think im doing anything like that

[smoky sinew]

you should it's better than just running the bot

[sonic cloud]

can you help me in a vc pls

[smoky sinew]

no

[glad cradle]

is it like dockerizing the Bot?

[sonic cloud]

why does no-one want to help me for something that would take someone who has done this before like 5 seconds

[smoky sinew]

nobody wants to join vc

including me

[sonic cloud]

i cant even talk in the vc i think i still have like 2 days and 30 more messages

[smoky sinew]

yes i will dockerize leaf eventually

[glad cradle]

cool

[glad cradle]

mhm start with the bot, later you'll think how to host and deploy it

[smoky sinew]

i disagree

i think you should deploy as soon as possible

[plucky sun]

how to make transcript file in ticket system ?

[vocal snow]

..why?

[glad cradle]

though leaf is still not dockerized

[smoky sinew]

to get it out there

[vocal snow]

Getting an unfinished and incomplete product out there is useless

[smoky sinew]

no it's not

[vocal snow]

How do you explain Leaf having a total of 5 users then

[smoky sinew]

because it's not deployed

[sonic cloud]

the bot works perfectly fine its just i dont want to have to turn my computer on whenever someone wants to use it

[smoky sinew]

hk only has about 30 though so it's ok

[vocal snow]

Ah I see you are at the "Do as I say, not as I do" stage

[smoky sinew]

yes

[ocean mango]

My bot does not output any errors, it just does nothing when attempting to make it connect to vc. Is this not the correct code for making it join vcs?

[plucky sun]

how to make transcript file in ticket system ?
my code is:

    async def transcript(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.button):
        if isinstance(interaction.channel, discord.TextChannel) and interaction.channel.category.id == 1109771830685880370:
            transcript = ''
            async for message in interaction.channel.history(limit=None):
                transcript += f'{message.author.name}: {message.content}\n'
            with open(f'transcript-{interaction.channel.name}.txt', 'w') as file:
                file.write(transcript)
            await interaction.channel.send(file=discord.File(f'transcript-{interaction.channel.name}.txt'))

[smoky sinew]

your command is probably not running

also you need to check if the user is in a voice channel, and replace ctx.message.author with ctx.author

[ocean mango]

I tried adding the print statement in the command printing the name of the voice channel I am in, but it printed that fine?

basically added print(c)

[smoky sinew]

do you have the voice_states intent?

[ocean mango]

i tried adding that too

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

[smoky sinew]

should work then

does your bot have permission?

[ocean mango]

or am I missing that?

[ocean mango]

yes, because my bot used to do it fine before, after updating discord.py, something appears to have changed

[sacred oyster]

Idk if im late but use .all instead of default

[turbid condor]

How to disable a button after it has been clicked once and on timeout

[naive briar]

Set the button's disabled property to False and edit the message with the updated view

[turbid condor]

isn't that false by default?

[slate swan]

context.bot.send_message(chat_id=update.effective_chat.id, text="Successfully!")
^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'bot' ---------- the telegram bot wont say "Succseffully in chat"

[naive briar]

My bad, set it to True

[turbid condor]

So I got the button disabled on click

but how to disable it after timeout

[naive briar]

Keep the response's message somewhere in the view

Then edit it using that

[turbid condor]

can u give a simple example

[naive briar]

Telegram? This is #discord-bots channel 🍨

[slate swan]

theere is no help page for my problem

[turbid condor]

u can create a forum

[slate swan]

yeah im new here

    view.message = await interaction.original_response()

Just edit the on_timeout to disable your button. I'm too lazy to do it

[lean harbor]

How would you make a fancy reaction button where the bot sends out a message that says like click this below to receive your role

[rustic onyx]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=has_permissions#discord.ext.commands.has_any_role found this

[slate swan]

Will that effectively hide it or appear normally and just make it fail the check

Though it's most likely supported, since Discord allows it

[rustic onyx]

I think the second option

I think you cannot hide commands to people without X role

[slate swan]

Just don't hide it for role concerned and hide for the others?

[lean harbor]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[lean harbor]

when doing the / command, the application isn't responding.

Error code: iscord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'role_reaction' raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'send'

Code:

    poll_emoji = '\N{MEMO}'

    embed.add_field(name="~ Get Notified For Polls! ~", value=f"React to {poll_emoji} to receive pings whenever we have a poll in #poll", inline=False)

    message = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    await message.add_reaction(subscriber_emoji)
    await message.add_reaction(poll_emoji)```

[slate swan]

Interactions don't have a context but an interaction as parameter

[austere prairie]

Use interaction.response.send_message instead

[lean harbor]

where?

[slate swan]

So you'll first need to replace ctx with interaction or inter or whatever

[lean harbor]

to replace ctx.send?

ye aight thanks

[rustic onyx]

whats the bot attribute that lets you send a message?

[slate swan]

And then use that instead of ctx everywhere and replace the .send. call

[rustic onyx]

not ctx.send

[austere prairie]

To where?

[rustic onyx]

well I'll handle the rest (message and where to send it)

[lean harbor]

but interaction is a unsolved reference

i need to put interaction in the () at the top?

[slate swan]

As said, replace it in your parameters

[lean harbor]

aight

[lean harbor]

thanks, does the message.add_reaction need to be changed?

[austere prairie]

How would the bot have a send method if it doesn't know where to send anything?

[slate swan]

Pretty sure it has been removed, you can use bot.http... though

[slate swan]

Does it use ctx?

[rustic onyx]

re-read my message

[lean harbor]

no

[slate swan]

Just like the bot can use the raw API endpoint to send a message

Getting the channel object first is just to facilitate developers

[austere prairie]

I guess you can just make it yourself

[rustic onyx]

found it https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=send#discord.TextChannel.send

[slate swan]

It should be available in bot.http

[slate swan]

Well that's once you have a text channel, yes

It's not just using the bot object as you've asked

[rustic onyx]

I didnt ask that

[austere prairie]

Yes you did

[slate swan]

At that point just get the channel with get_channel

[rustic onyx]

I said I'll handle the rest 🙂

[austere prairie]

bot attribute

[slate swan]

and then use send

[rustic onyx]

wont discuss over this 😄

[slate swan]

You asked something that just has an attribute on the bot object

Which is http in your case

peace 🧘‍♂️

[slate swan]

Getting a text channel object before, then just use bot.get_channel and then send

[lean harbor]

sorry, the bot doesn't add the button to the message:

error code: discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'role_reaction' raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'

    await message.add_reaction(subscriber_emoji)
    await message.add_reaction(poll_emoji)```

[slate swan]

X,Y problem moment

[lean harbor]

wdym

[slate swan]

That's because send_message doesn't return anything

[slate swan]

Not to you

[lean harbor]

how do you make it return?

[slate swan]

You don't?

discord.py doesn't return anything, you won't get anything

[swift acorn]

@bot.tree.command(name="createrule")
@app_commands.check(has_perm)
async def createrule(interaction : discord.Interaction):
    guild = interaction.guild

    rule = await guild.create_automod_rule(
        name="No spam",
        trigger_type="message",
        trigger_metadata={
            "content": "(.*)spam(.*)"
        },
        actions=[
            discord.AutoModAction.ban_user()
        ]
    )
    await interaction.response.send_message("Done!")

I am trying to create this automod rule but it says that ban_user is not a thing?

[lean harbor]

? Its just that the message.add_reaction doesn't add any reaction

why is this

[slate swan]

Because send_message doesn't return a message object

As already said

[lean harbor]

how would you fix this

[swift acorn]

I might be wrong but I think it does?

[slate swan]

No.

[glad cradle]

!d discord.Interaction.original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.original\_response

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

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

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

Repeated calls to this will return a cached value.

[glad cradle]

@lean harbor you need this to get the message

[slate swan]

That will return your message, and then you can use it

[swift acorn]

oh yeah nvm that's the normal send that returns it

[swift acorn]

Would any of you happen to know anything about this?

[lean harbor]

would you just do:
await interaction()

[slate swan]

It doesn't exist

[swift acorn]

Yeah got that, what do I do to make it ban the user then?

[slate swan]

You can't

Discord doesn't support it

[glad cradle]

message = await interaction.original_response()

[slate swan]

So wait for Discord to support it, or don't use AutoMod

[swift acorn]

alright, what's for timeout then?

[slate swan]

timeout

[lean harbor]

message = await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

What bout this line then?

[slate swan]

You keep it

Just remove message =

[slate swan]

And since it's an attribute, there's no ()

[swift acorn]

gotcha thank you

[slate swan]

And you need AutoModRuleAction objects with the type being discord.AutoModRuleActionType.timeout I guess

Then you can set the other attributes if needed

Or just pass the duration and the type will be automatically set

[lean harbor]

then how would it send the message

[swift acorn]

it doesn't need message = to send the message

[slate swan]

Just with await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)?

Told you to remove specifically message =

Not the entire line

[swift acorn]

Do I pass it in actions like duration = 60

[slate swan]

In the AutoModRuleAction object you create

[rustic onyx]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=send#discord.TextChannel.send is this the only method that lets you send messages ? 🤔

cause it doesnt seem to have a destination-related param

[slate swan]

Can you... read?

[rustic onyx]

though the description says: Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

[slate swan]

Because the destination is the TextChannel object

[lean harbor]

@bot.tree.command()
async def role_reaction(interaction):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="~ Become A Subscriber! ~", description="React to the :Galleon~1: to receive the @Subscriber role to stay notified on our future projects, changes, analysis, and news!", color=discord.Color.blue())

    subscriber_emoji = '\N{SHIP}'
    poll_emoji = '\N{MEMO}'

    embed.add_field(name="~ Get Notified For Polls! ~", value=f"React to {poll_emoji} to receive pings whenever we have a poll in #poll", inline=False)


    message = await interaction.original_response(embed=embed)
    await message.add_reaction(subscriber_emoji)
    await message.add_reaction(poll_emoji)

like this

[slate swan]

Why did you delete the entire line now

[lean harbor]

the one before?

[slate swan]

I literally told you not to remove the entire line but to keep

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[lean harbor]

message = await interaction.original_response(embed=embed)
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
await message.add_reaction(subscriber_emoji)
await message.add_reaction(poll_emoji)

like this?

[slate swan]

You probably want to send the message before getting the response

[lean harbor]

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
message = await interaction.original_response(embed=embed)
await message.add_reaction(subscriber_emoji)
await message.add_reaction(poll_emoji)

[slate swan]

As I told you countless times before, but since you seem to have issues reading, use the following:

await bot.http.send_message(channel_id, ...)

If you don't want to use that, then use the functions that are made for it - such as

channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id)
await channel.send(...)

[slate swan]

tias

[lean harbor]

whats supposed to be in the parameter for message = await interaction.original_response()

[slate swan]

nothing

[lean harbor]

aight

[rustic onyx]

man chill out you seem to be really nervous

[slate swan]

Nope, you just don't read :)

[rustic onyx]

stop being aggressive I'm not interested in your help if you talk like this tbh

[slate swan]

fyi you can see that in the docs

[slate swan]

Take the time to read at least.. You haven't even bothered trying out bot.http yet expect to get help and come back over and over with your other functions and being sad about you not being able to specify the destination - which is solved with the functions I've mentioned multiple times above...

[lean harbor]

For this, How do i make it so the @ shows normally when you ping like a role

[slate swan]

<@&ROLE_ID>

[naive briar]

!d discord.Role.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention a role.

[slate swan]

Seems like a static message, no need to get role objects for that

[lean harbor]

can it be in a form of a string?

will it still work?

[naive briar]

What

[slate swan]

It's a string?

Just put that in your message content instead of your @Whatever

[lean harbor]

aight thanks

[slate swan]

E.g.

await channel.send("<@&ROLE_ID>")

will mention a role in a basic message, now you can use the same in embeds, etc.

Hmm

@slate swan hey

[swift acorn]

@bot.tree.command(name="createrule")
@app_commands.check(has_perm)
async def createrule(interaction : discord.Interaction):
    guild = interaction.guild

    rule = await guild.create_automod_rule(
        name="No spam",
        event_type= discord.AutoModRuleEventType.message_send,
        trigger = discord.AutoModRuleTriggerType.spam,
        actions=[
            discord.AutoModRuleActionType.block_message
        ]
    )
    await interaction.response.send_message("Done!")

It gives me the error
Command 'createrule' raised an exception: AttributeError: '_EnumValue_AutoModRuleTriggerType' object has no attribute 'type'

[slate swan]

You need to pass objects

E.g. trigger requires a AutoModTrigger object

!d discord.AutoModTrigger

Krypton can you help me in a simple thing ;-;

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AutoModTrigger

class discord.AutoModTrigger(*, type=None, keyword_filter=None, presets=None, allow_list=None, mention_limit=None, regex_patterns=None)```
Represents a trigger for an auto moderation rule.

The following table illustrates relevant attributes for each [`AutoModRuleTriggerType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AutoModRuleTriggerType "discord.AutoModRuleTriggerType")...

[slate swan]

There you specify the type etc. and pass that to trigger=...

[swift acorn]

ah gotcha

[slate swan]

Hmm ...

Same for the actions, they require a list of AutoModRuleAction objects

!d discord.AutoModRuleAction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AutoModRuleAction

class discord.AutoModRuleAction(*, channel_id=None, duration=None, custom_message=None)```
Represents an auto moderation’s rule action.

Note

Only one of `channel_id`, `duration`, or `custom_message` can be used.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

Bro can you tell me the syntax of on_message cmd

There you just pass the duration as parameter

And the type will be automatically set

[swift acorn]

understood tysm

[slate swan]

Hmmm......

[slate swan]

Don't use on_message for commands, use https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html

[lean harbor]

mhm, how would you mention channels?

[slate swan]

Replace @& with #

[glad cradle]

<#ID>

[lean harbor]

understood thanks

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-formats

[lean harbor]

yep thanks

[slate swan]

You're sending a command object as content

[lean harbor]

but it's a string

[slate swan]

Nope

[lean harbor]

it's a variable, Oh wait

[slate swan]

description=general_information

[lean harbor]

ye thats the name of the variable

[slate swan]

Same name as your function name

[lean harbor]

yep thanks

[slate swan]

Not really a good idea

[lean harbor]

ye i changed it

[lean harbor]

Sorry for the ping, But any idea how i can make the bot give a specific role if the user reacts to the message that the bot sent?

[rustic onyx]

How can you respond to a slash command? With the goal of getting rid of:

[lean harbor]

Whats the error

[rustic onyx]

no errors

everything executed as expected, but the application does not respond

[lean harbor]

send the code?

no errors in your IDE?

[rustic onyx]

I read you can respond by doing ctx.respond but that doesnt seem to be a valid function

[rustic onyx]

no errors in my IDE

[lean harbor]

I think you need to do interaction, can u send your code?

[rustic onyx]

I've had the same problem before where i have used ctx and it hasn't worked. If i'm not mistaken you need to do interaction. Don't quote me though i'm a beginner

@smoky sinew you free to help?

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.send - properly respond to it

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.send

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.

This works similarly to [`send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for non-interaction contexts.

For interaction based contexts this does one of the following...

[lean harbor]

nothing to do with the ctx?

[naive briar]

What

[lean harbor]

it's fine

[lean harbor]

any idea how to make the bot give a person a specific role after they have reacted to a message the bot sent?

Code so far:

@commands.has_any_role("Executive")
async def role_reaction(interaction):

    subscriber_emoji = '\N{SHIP}'
    poll_emoji = '\N{MEMO}'
    embed = discord.Embed(title="~ Become A Subscriber! ~", description=f"React to {subscriber_emoji} to receive the <@&1100505557389037689> role to stay notified on our future projects, changes, analysis, and news!", color=discord.Color.blue())
    embed.add_field(name="~ Get Notified For Polls! ~", value=f"React to {poll_emoji} to receive pings whenever we have a poll in #poll", inline=False)

    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
    message = await interaction.original_response()
    await message.add_reaction(subscriber_emoji)
    await message.add_reaction(poll_emoji)```

[naive briar]

!d discord.Client.wait_for - wait for the reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[lean harbor]

thanks

[rustic onyx]

worked, thanks

[lean harbor]

sorry thought it was a ctx problem

apologies

[rustic onyx]

dont apologize

why cant I go to the next line when passing a value for an argument. I'll send a screenshot

I want to have the message in separate lines

[slate swan]

Welcome to slash commands, you can use \n though

[naive briar]

You can also use modals

[formal basin]

how could i get the channel a command was used in?

[slate swan]

do you have context or interaction?

[formal basin]

interaction

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.channel

The channel the interaction was sent from.

Note that due to a Discord limitation, DM channels are not resolved since there is no data to complete them. These are PartialMessageable instead.

[rustic onyx]

ah thought that wouldnt work, thanks for the recommendation 🙂

[glad cradle]

you could use a modal

[rustic onyx]

🤔

[glad cradle]

!d discord.ui.Modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

class discord.ui.Modal(*, title=..., timeout=None, custom_id=...)```
Represents a UI modal.

This object must be inherited to create a modal popup window within discord.

New in version 2.0.

Examples...

[rustic onyx]

\n wont work, will be part of the message :/

[slate swan]

Then un-escape them

\n is the only way though, slash commands limitation

[stiff herald]

can anyone give me an example of a slash command called kick and that has as argument member: app_commands.Choice[str] i.e. has as choices the members of the chat in here it is going to be executed? (discord.py)

[slate swan]

Can anyone see mine help post ;-;

[slate swan]

We don't code for you, we help you solve issues with your code

[turbid condor]

It will be same as a normal command where u use member:discord.member
This will make the members show up as choices

Btw guys a question i have created a button for some reason whenever i click it it says interaction failed but the interaction is also being carried out like it gives a response like it's supposed to

Any idea on what might be the cause??

[slate swan]

Typehint member as discord.Member

[upbeat otter]

defer the interaction

!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...

[turbid condor]

Yeah that fixed it

[formal basin]

await interaction.response.defer()
     await asyncio.sleep(5) # Doing stuff
     await interaction.followup.send(f"deleted {amount} messages")
``` would this work?

[naive briar]

Just try it

[formal basin]

@client.tree.command(name="clear", description="clear messages (moderator only)")
@discord.app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
@app_commands.default_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def clear(interaction: discord.Interaction, amount: int):
     await interaction.channel.purge(limit=amount)
     #await interaction.channel.send(f"{interaction.user.mention} used the clear command to deleted {amount} messages")
     await interaction.response.defer()
     await asyncio.sleep(5) # Doing stuff
     await interaction.followup.send(f"deleted {amount} messages")
``` here is full command?

[formal basin]

[naive briar]

You're supposed to call defer before doing anything that takes a long time to complete

[formal basin]

oh ok

[naive briar]

In this case, it's the purge

And you can just remove sleep, it's probably for an example someone gave

[solar coyote]

[shrewd apex]

defer
purge
followup thats the order generally

[earnest swift]

Can someone help me add an thumbnail to my discord bots embed

I tried discord.Embed.set_thumbail(*, url)

[eager portal]

do you mean an image like this:

[earnest swift]

Yes

Or just an image its self

[eager portal]

You need to do ```py
embed.set_image(url="URL HERE")

For the thumbnail you can do this

embed.set_thumbnail(url="url")

Note: the thumbnail uri must be https

[earnest swift]

Do you know how to make your bot get an image like if someone does command ,av @the_-user it shows the user avatar or pfp

[eager portal]

You will have to do something like

async def function(ctx, member: discord.Member):
      await ctx.send(member.avatar.url)

I think anyway should be something similar

[earnest swift]

Oh ok

[eager portal]

Sorry my mistake its member.avatar.url

[turbid condor]

Wasn't it member.display_avatar??

[eager portal]

I'm using nextcord and it looks like its member.avatar.url

[turbid condor]

For discord.py it's member.display_avatar

[eager portal]

^ My bad

[turbid condor]

member.avatar.url usually gives an error if the user has no pfp

[eager portal]

Is anyone able to help me out?

[turbid condor]

The audit logs XD

Yeah u can just use the bot to fetch the audit log to a channel

[eager portal]

probs be something like on_member_role idk

[turbid condor]

This works too

There might be other ways too but this was the first one that came to mind

U can also create an event where whenever a user gets a role the bot sends a message in a specified channel

U should try going through docs

U might find something there

[thin raft]

check audit logs

!d discord.Guild.audit_logs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.audit\_logs

async for ... in audit_logs(*, limit=100, before=..., after=..., oldest_first=..., user=..., action=...)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") that enables receiving the guild’s audit logs.

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

Examples

Getting the first 100 entries:

```py
async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=100):
    print(f'{entry.user} did {entry.action} to {entry.target}')
```...

[thin raft]

check the docs

!d discord.AuditLogAction.member_role_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AuditLogAction.member\_role\_update

A member’s role has been updated. This triggers when a member either gains a role or loses a role.

When this is the action, the type of target is the Member, User, or Object who got the role.

Possible attributes for AuditLogDiff:

• roles

[unkempt mauve]

why is my bot sending messages twice while in my code, it should be sent once

[thin raft]

probably have 2 python instances

[unkempt mauve]

where

[thin raft]

kill them and try again

in your pc

[unkempt mauve]

how do I kil

[thin raft]

are you on windows?

[unkempt mauve]

yes

vsc windows 11

[thin raft]

then kill them from the task manager

[unkempt mauve]

k

still sending twice

bruv

[formal basin]

send code

[unkempt mauve]

the whole source code?

this happens for each command

and I see that when I open vsc, a python is already running

[formal basin]

Mash Allah your bot is good

[unkempt mauve]

thank you

but its not the bot that is issuing

its another (i sent ss above)

[formal basin]

Oh

Oh

[unkempt mauve]

Sayous ^^

[formal basin]

I see

[unkempt mauve]

basically making a chatbot

but the command responses are duplicated :v

[vocal snow]

do you have an on_message listener

[unkempt mauve]

yeah

[vocal snow]

are you calling process_commands in it

[unkempt mauve]

no

@bot.listen('on_message')
async def message(message):
    await bot.process_commands(message)```
only this

[vocal snow]

are you calling process_commands in it

so yes, you are

which you shouldn't do

[unkempt mauve]

but isnt thats listen thing

[vocal snow]

only do that if you use the event decorator since it replaces the bot object's internal event

[unkempt mauve]

thank u, its fixed

but it didnt happened before lol

[vocal snow]

because maybe you weren't using a listener before

[unkempt mauve]

oh

anyway thanks for ur time

[formal basin]

btw your bot is in my server

[coral mirage]

Hello there, can I get help with this code. The problem is that my stuff is not updating to my database.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nodasiqema

[unkempt mauve]

jazakallahu khair

[shut axle]

The bot works perfectly but I want to know why is it showing it on the terminal?

[slate swan]

no thats logger and this log is of type INFO which means its just information not error nor warning

if you wish to not log out INFO logs you can specify that when starting bot

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.start

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.start

await start(token, *, reconnect=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A shorthand coroutine for [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.login "discord.ext.commands.Bot.login") + [`connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.connect "discord.ext.commands.Bot.connect").

[slate swan]

hm

not here?

[shut axle]

here

Got it, thanks

[glad cradle]

d.py and forks doesn't handle logs for you so if you don't create a log handler (or set a Basic logger) you won't get logs

[slate swan]

so why is he getting logs

doesnt d.py has logger built in?

[glad cradle]

afaik no, if you don't setup it

[earnest swift]

Can someone give me an example on how to make your discord bot make an member go afk like if the member says !afk or ,afk it makes the user go afk and the bot says in a embed that the user is currently afk and then once the member speaks it responds with user it now back from afk for however long the member was afk for?

[slate swan]

d.py has a default logger

[sullen trout]

https://codeshare.io/N3AXY1

why does the bot answer "Ja, Nein, Vielleicht, Oder?, Warum?, naja, okay" with random letters?

[viscid wren]

Hello, how i can hide "Santtiago used /say" in the cmd response

@app_commands.command(name='say')
    @app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    async def _say(self, interaction:discord.Interaction, content:str):
        await interaction.response.send_message(content)

[slate swan]

send message to channel instead sending it to interaction

should work

[earnest swift]

So when i do this i do @client.event Async def av(ctx, member: discord.Member): await ctx.send(member.display_avatar)

Im kinda new to coding so i dont rlly know a lot of things about coding im sorry

[slate swan]

member.display_avatar.url

and it's a command, not a @bot.event

Also d.py is not intended for newcomers but rather for people with experience, worth learning python and OOP beforehand

[viscid wren]

how can i do something like this?

selection field

To give a role to the user

xd

[slate swan]

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

[viscid wren]

ty

[slate swan]

how do i set persmissions to my bot?

i'm planning to use those permissions to my bot:

Bots can't use soundboards so you don't have a feature that uses it, no point on asking that permission.

Nonetheless once you've chosen the permissions your bot really needs to function, it will provide you a link at the bottom which you can copy paste and invite the bot with the permissions above.

i forgot how do i invite my bot using this

didn't got it:

it's not generating

bot, then this:

what is my bot id?

[slate swan]

That should be disabled, just as side note

[formal basin]

@client.tree.command(name="clear", description="clear messages (moderator only)")
@discord.app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
@app_commands.default_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def clear(interaction: discord.Interaction, amount: int):
     await interaction.channel.purge(limit=amount)
     await interaction.response.defer()
     await interaction.followup.send(f"deleted {amount} messages")
``` this doesnt work properly

it does purge sometimes

and sometimes it fails

[eager portal]

    async def purge(self, interaction: nextcord.Interaction, number_of_messages: int):
        if interaction.user.guild_permissions.manage_messages:
            await interaction.channel.purge(limit=number_of_messages)
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"Purged *{number_of_messages}* messages!")
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message("You do not have permission to use this command.")

This is my purge command, maybe try this. It works you'll need to change nextcord accordingly

[sick birch]

I'd recommend moving the await interaction.response.defer() line before the await interaction.channel.purge(limit=amount) line

Because the interaction fails if interaction.channel.purge takes over 3 seconds

You should generally defer the first thing you do, then do the computationally expensive task (the .purge() in this case)

This is how it should be:

1. Defer immediately
2. Do the thing that takes a long time
3. Send follow up message

This is how you have it:

1. Do the thing that takes a long time
2. Defer
3. Send follow up message

[formal basin]

it doesnt purge anything

only if i put the amount = 1

so if i put anything number except 1 it doesnt purge anything

[viscid wren]

Im trying to delete original command message

@app_commands.command(name='testroles')
    async def _avatar(self, interaction:discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.message.delete()
        view = DropdownView()
        await interaction.channel.send('**🌎・ País**', view=view)

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'testroles' raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'delete'

[formal basin]

so if i put anything number except 1 it doesnt purge anything

[viscid wren]

someone help?

[pine nexus]

I have once again returned to give everyone headaches with my complicated problems 🎉

So I've been working on a discord bot and it was working fine. I put a large portion of the code into a class so different servers can have different instances of everything(things like settings and functions and whatnot)

[sick birch]

That's... odd

Seems like something you'd use a database for

[pine nexus]

I actually think I might've had an idea why as I was typing this

I have a question

[thin raft]

relatable

[pine nexus]

when you init a superclass into a subclass, does it rerun the superclass's init or inherit the already init variables

[eager portal]

Can anyone help me please:

async def set_ticket(self, interaction: nextcord.Interaction, select_item: nextcord.ui.Select):
    member = interaction.user

AttributeError: 'StringSelect' object has no attribute 'user'

[thin raft]

maybe switching the args helps

[eager portal]

wdym?

like literally switch them?

[thin raft]

self, select, interaction

[sick birch]

In discord.py it's self, interaction, select but nextcord seems to have changed it

[pine nexus]

ok so I might've realized what's going on but now that raises another problem

[eager portal]

Cheers mate fixed it

[thin raft]

np

[thin raft]

initially it was select, interaction iirc

like in buttons

[pine nexus]

when I'm running the superclass init in the subclass, it's resetting all of the variables because I'm rerunning init(which defines all of them as None). I already have an instance of the superclass in which the subclass is being created. Is it possible to reference that in the superclass init?

[shrewd apex]

you can't

    class Stopwatch(Settings):
        def __init__(self):
            Settings.__init__(self)
            #more variables

so all variables defined in Settings are being reset to None when I run Stopwatch because I'm using settings as a superclass

am I able to change the superclass to a particular instance of the superclass instead?

[shrewd apex]

use super() when possible

[pine nexus]

instead of

[shrewd apex]

it handles mro automatically

dont use parent class name its prone to errors

[viscid wren]

someone can help?

[pine nexus]

So instead do

class Stopwatch:
  def __init__(self):
    super(Settings)

?

[shrewd apex]

message = await interaction.original_response()
await message.delete()

[shrewd apex]

super().__init__(pass params here if needed)

[eager portal]

Why won't this work: ```py
channel_id = nextcord.utils.get(self.bot.get_all_channels, id=int(channel_id))

It's an embed

[potent spear]

what have you tried?

[whole shoal]

message= await message.edit(embed=embed, view=view, and i need to attach the file here)

[potent spear]

if self.elapsed == self.freq

[potent spear]

there's an attachments kwarg

Idk it isn't working for me

I tried it

does someone know if theres a bot I can send a list of emojis and it gives me a link to download those?

show me your actual code then

[potent spear]

where are you declaring self.freq in that class?

[potent spear]

message says it all

[pine nexus]

It's declared in the superclass, Settings

[potent spear]

you're most likely doing
attachments = a_file
instead of
attachments = [a_file]

[rustic onyx]

yes

[whole shoal]

Hm

[potent spear]

yeah, as None... so what did you expect?

initchecks doesn't change its value

[pine nexus]

I have print(self.freq) under if f is not none and it returns 600

it's just an issue with the subclass

[potent spear]

https://top.gg/bot/750406366094557244
first thing I found, not idea if it works

[potent spear]

proof?

[pine nexus]

what like a ss?

[potent spear]

no, the proof where all the code comes together

where you actually call that method and the other one afterwards

in the same object

your Stopwatch init isn't completely correct

Settings.__init__(self)
should be super()

[rustic onyx]

ty 🙂

[potent spear]

thank google

[whole shoal]

Oh yeah it worked thank you man

[potent spear]

[pine nexus]

I since changed it to super().init() per your recommendations and it's giving None

        async def initchecks(self, setting, message, guild):

            if self.f is not None:
                self.freq = (int(self.f)*60)
                # self.freq = 10
            print(self.freq)

            if self.r is not None:
                self.remf = (int(self.r)*60)
                # self.remf = 10
            print(self.remf)

            if self.b == "on":
                self.checktimer = Stopwatch()
                self.checktimer.start()
                self.checkping = "clear"
                self.setcheck = True
                await self.checktimer.current()

            elif self.b is not None:

            print(self.setcheck)

            super().__init__()
            self.start_time = 0

            self.timeron = True
            while self.timeron:
                self.now_time = time.time()
                self.elapsed = int(self.now_time) - int(self.start_time)
                if self.elapsed == self.freq:
                    break
                print(self.elapsed)

            if self.timeron:
                self.timeron = False
                #runs function

in if self.b I define self.checktimer = Stopwatch()

[potent spear]

don't define self.freq as None in your init if you're never using that value anyways...

[pine nexus]

in pycharm it raises a squiggly if I don't

[potent spear]

you're "checking" your init only once...

that's True, classic pycharm warning

[pine nexus]

removing self.freq from init and running returns

    if self.elapsed == self.freq:
AttributeError: 'Stopwatch' object has no attribute 'freq'

which I think means that the superclass init was the only value of freq it had

[potent spear]

that's because you're never running that method which defines your self.freq attribute FIRST

[pine nexus]

so despite self.checktimer = Stopwatch() being after self.freq = 10, I have to run it again?

I'm sorry I'm a little lost don't mind me 😐

would it be easier to show you in a vc where I can ss and show the full logs? That might help

I print a lot of debug info

[potent spear]

no, this is great practice to keep your code as simple as possible

I see your issue

the Stopwatch object you're creating right?

is completely separate from the settings class it's in

[pine nexus]

😑

[potent spear]

they don't share the same variable values

[slow fog]

what do you mean exactly by "download emojis"

[potent spear]

I think it just converts them to png or whatever

[slow fog]

that's easy

[pine nexus]

so how can I translate the value of self.freq in settings to a value in stopwatch

[dry kelp]

What's the event to detect if a member gets mentioned?

[potent spear]

in on_message, you can check this

[dry kelp]

Ah alr

[potent spear]

if a_certain_member in message.mentions :

[dry kelp]

Yeah i got it.. it will just be a pain sadly

[potent spear]

can you comment in your code where the issue is happening? I've lost it for a while

I'm going to grab some p rolls, I'll be back in a sec

[potent spear]

you still have to show me how you create an object out of this class and call its methods, then we're all set

I have no idea in which order you're calling these methods based on some classes and their methods

[pine nexus]

So I had issues with this last night, I think the solution was putting it in a dict

let me grab it rq

        global d
        d = {}
        for guild in client.guilds:
            d[guild.id] = Settings()
            await d[guild.id].initchecks("initall", None, guild.id)

[potent spear]

What I actually expect and hope to see from you:

settings_obj = Settings()
settings_obj.initchecks()```

[pine nexus]

close enough...

so in the dict I have a separate instance of Settings() for each guild id given

[potent spear]

why is your Stopwatch a subclass of your Settings in the first place? it doesn't seem like it has much to do with it anyways, right?

that certain settings needs a stopwatch, ok, I get that
but a stopwatch isn't necessarily a setting, right?

[pine nexus]

I've turned Settings() into more than just settings, I have basically all functions included that I want to be sharded by server

so each server has its own iteration of the function

[smoky sinew]

what...

[potent spear]

that's uhm, still irrelevant to my question

why is your stopwatch a setting? why can't it be something completely separate?

[pine nexus]

I mean it's not a "setting", it's just in the "Settings" class

[potent spear]

it IS a setting tho, as Setting is its superclass :/

[pine nexus]

the settings class has a lot more than just the settings function like it originally had when I made it

idk man my brain is mush rn

[potent spear]

seems like your Stopwatch just needs to be separated from your Settings class
it just keeps track of when it was created etc, I get that, but that's it

it's more like a dataclass imo

[pine nexus]

ok 1s I'm just adding an arg to pass the guild id so I can call the var externally

ok it works lol

idk why but I thought it would be easier and more convenient to just get the value from being in the class itself

[dry kelp]

Can't a bot change the guild owner name>

?

i mean nickname

[potent spear]

I don't think so, as the admin has the highest perms

my solution for those issues: my bot is my guild admin 🙂

[potent spear]

try to be as independent as possible when creating classes etc
you could create a class inside a class (without inheritance) if it's not relevant outside of it
but that's just A way, not THE way

[dry kelp]

Well that's not really nice....

I managed to finish the afk command tho... this is the last thing i gotta do

How can i add a timestamp?

That would look even nicer honestly

[potent spear]

in...? an embed?

[dry kelp]

Nope lol

[potent spear]

it's a util

[dry kelp]

for example spooky went away - why - how long ago

[potent spear]

<t:1684708012:f>

[potent spear]

you can get a datetime object of that, right?

[dry kelp]

Got it

[shrewd vapor]

Hi everyone how are you today ?

[potent spear]

<t:1684708050:R>
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.utils.format_dt
the style you want is "R"

[shrewd vapor]

You can help me for create a response visible only for people have write the command ?

[dry kelp]

Oh awesome

perfect

[potent spear]

the dt is just the dt of when he went away

[potent spear]

it's called an "ephemeral message"

[shrewd vapor]

Yes

[potent spear]

you can look in the docs on how to send messages where the ephemeral parameter is set to True in the send() method

[shrewd vapor]

Ok thanks

[dry kelp]

Is it optional?

Or what do i have to complete it with?

[potent spear]

you've seen the link in the docs, right?

this formats the datetime object correctly FOR you, you could do it manually, but why when you have a util for it

[shrewd vapor]

await discord.Attachment.ephemeral.send(f"Your ticket is <#{ticket_channel.id}>")```
Its good or not ?

I don't understand how to use

[potent spear]

format_dt(dt=<datetime_your_user_went_away>, style="R")

[potent spear]

you have to learn how to read the docs first of all, as you're guessing

have you ever sent a message through a bot?

[shrewd vapor]

Yes just is my first time i try to use ephemeral

[dry kelp]

That's what i don't understand what do i fill dt with? i understood the rest lol

[potent spear]

show me a testcommand where you make the bot send something

[dry kelp]

OHHHH

i got it.. didn't see the entire page

[potent spear]

aight, gl

[dry kelp]

it was on bottom

[shrewd vapor]

@bot.tree.command(name="kick", description="Kick member from guild")
async def kick(interaction, member : discord.Member, *, reason : str):
        if (not interaction.user.guild_permissions.kick_members):
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"You are not authorized to use this command {interaction.user.mention}")
            return
        if (interaction.user == member):
            await interaction.followup.send(f"{member.mention} you can't kick yourself!")
            return
        await member.send(f"You have been kicked by {interaction.user} from {interaction.guild.name}.\nReason : {reason}")
        await member.kick (reason = reason)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{member.mention} has been kicked from the guild")```

[potent spear]

did you write this YOURSELF?

[shrewd vapor]

Yes

[potent spear]

alright, so you know what a method , and a parameter is, right?

[shrewd vapor]

Yes

[potent spear]

the send_message method has a ephemeral attribute, if you set that to True, you'll send an only-readable-for-that-person message

send_message is a method you've used before as shown above

example
await interaction.response.send_message("I shat my pants, but don't tell anyone", ephemeral = True)

[shrewd vapor]

Oh ok

I see

[potent spear]

good, hf

[shrewd vapor]

Thanks bro

[normal jasper]

is there a timeout function in discord.py( or pycord) ?

[smoky sinew]

discord.Member.timeout

[normal jasper]

thanks!

[dry kelp]

Quick question

Here i am checking if the command author is not the guild owner so it won't try to change the guild owner nickname because it's not possible

[smoky sinew]

use != instead

[dry kelp]

for some reasons i am getting this error

Flake8 should tell me if im doing it wrong 🤔

[dry kelp]

Worked.

[potent spear]

No need for the dt=

So just format_dt(utcnow(), style=“R”)

[dry kelp]

So you mean to leave it empty?

Oh

[potent spear]

No, the actual “dt=“ is not needed

It’s a positional argument 🙂

[dry kelp]

Yeah i understood now

Also when i uhh

When the member sends a message, afk will be removed.. And it should send a message of Welcome back {user}, You been away for {how long}

How can i tell for how long it been away? What's the best way to do so?

[potent spear]

Store it in either a db or a bot variable in a dict

Key would be the user id, value the tile he went away

[dry kelp]

Well i was planning to store it to db

entire command is stored to db

[potent spear]

db if you want it to persist ( when bot reboots )

[dry kelp]

discord_id is actually the person going afk id

[potent spear]

Aight, you can add the timestamp of when he went away I guess

[dry kelp]

That's the plan x)

[dry kelp]

that will be a string

[potent spear]

Isn’t there a datetime datatype?

[smoky sinew]

yes

[dry kelp]

i don't know.. That's why im here

[smoky sinew]

store the utc-aware datetime preferably and then check that against the current datetime

[dry kelp]

let me make another field for datetime

[potent spear]

Depending on the db you’re using, check its docs

[dry kelp]

I am using postgreSQL

but if the datetime returns a string i can just make a str field

But it would be easier to store the datetime datatype, true

[potent spear]

Correct

You want the DB to do the conversion, not you

[dry kelp]

Yep 🙂

I will look it up

I am using tortoise for this

[potent spear]

That’s good

[potent spear]

It’ll have a datetime datatype probably

[shrewd vapor]

How to create a button ? I don't found in api

[dry kelp]

This is what i was able to find

[dry kelp]

Well this seems to store the current time

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.ui.View extend this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

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

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

New in version 2.0.

[potent spear]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py
Example in code of the use of a button

[shrewd vapor]

thx

[potent spear]

That’s great, you don’t even seem to have to pass a value when you leave it empty ( if you set auto now)

[dry kelp]

Well yeah it's a bool

But that's a class... not a field....

[potent spear]

Seems like auto_now_set is your way to go. Then all that’s left is to reset it when he goes back online

[potent spear]

Look for examples, you’re not the first one using datetime objects in tortoise for sure

[dry kelp]

Oh im dumb nvm

Yeah i may have got it

[smoky sinew]

why would you want it set to False

[dry kelp]

If i set it to True would it automatically get the current time?

[smoky sinew]

yes

[dry kelp]

Oh

[shrewd vapor]

And what is that ?

[smoky sinew]

modal

[shrewd vapor]

Ok thx

[dry kelp]

So if the timestamp is being added to the database, How can i pull it out?

[smoky sinew]

like you do with all your other columns

[dry kelp]

Well not really... Because i define the others 🤔

for example discord_id i define it as discord_id=message.author.id

All those things happen inside a event
