[turbid condor]

Can u actually print the error

[twilit grotto]

that too

[turbid condor]

Even if bot got that wouldn't he need to be higher in hierarchy?

[twilit grotto]

yes i believe so

mhm

[turbid condor]

Welp error says it

[twilit grotto]

change your bots permissions and make sure its role is above the users role who ur trying to edit

make sure his permissions are correct, and can edit users

[turbid condor]

Welp I'd suggest not giving your but admin perms

And try changing name of someone else other than yourself

Cuz i think bots can't change server owner name not sure tho

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s handle (e.g. `name` or `name#discriminator`).

[turbid condor]

What error it prints?

Same?

Just try changing the name of any other bot

[swift trench]

what bot should I make

huh

what

whats the point in that

i dont understand what it does

oh

its pointless

ig

Error occured: Command raised an exception: TypeError: GuildChannel.permissions_for() missing 1 required positional argument: 'obj'

[swift trench]

im not making it

[winter token]

arent we supposed to just give member or role as obj?

[winter token]

any1?

[slate swan]

I do hope you're not importing GuildChannel and that GuildChannel is just a badly named variable

[winter token]

oh well

i did import it

[slate swan]

There we go, OOP

[winter token]

well

[winter token]

still same problem

perms_list = list(discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for(member))

[slate swan]

My guy

Maube time to learn OOP

discord.abc.GuildChannel must be replaced by an instance of such an object

E.g. ctx.channel, message.channel or interaction.channel, etc.

any idea on why i am getting this error? setup function is working fine btw

[slate swan]

Error says it all

__init__ cannot be async so you cannot access bot.loop there

[cerulean shale]

hmmm alright thx

[slate swan]

Make that node connection somewhere else

[cerulean shale]

alright

[cerulean shale]

can i loop it in setup function?

[slate swan]

We can, but we won't. We don't code for you, we help you fix your issues.

[slate swan]

That one is async so most likely

Otherwise there may be some async function you can overwrite for an event emitted when the cog is loaded

[cerulean shale]

still getting the same thing, cannot be accessed in non-async contexts

first i thought of setting up the loop using a listener but it wasnt working

alright still thx for the info

Average error handler eating everything

[naive briar]

That explains it

[winter token]

now its telling me to change id into integer

💀

[naive briar]

Who

[winter token]

bot ofc

[naive briar]

How would your bot tell you to change something to integer

[winter token]

{error}

[naive briar]

Show the error then

[winter token]

Error occured: Command raised an exception: TypeError: string indices must be integers, not 'str'

[naive briar]

What are you trying to do now

[hasty pike]

Convert

As simple as that

[winter token]

nah

If i do that it will tell me to convert back to str

[slate swan]

member is an ID, whereas when you ban it must be something like a User that has an ID attribute

[hasty pike]

So i should make member variable like member = entry.user?

[slate swan]

So first of all await guild.ban(entry.user, reason="NULL")

[hasty pike]

Gotcha

Thanks

wait nvm fixed

any way to show balance like tis

this*

i = 53055
print(f"{i:,}")

53,055

[winter token]

f"{data[id]['balance']}" can i do that in this line as well?

cuz fetching the bal from datafile

[slate swan]

i is just the integer

Replace it with whatever you want, it's called a variable

[winter token]

okay ty

[fallen imp]

i try make modal in youtube help me .-.

[slate swan]

well there is no folder named cogs

[fallen imp]

I copied it on youtube .-.

[slate swan]

That's what happens

thats why you should not

Line 8 already shows the tutorial is most likely shit

Same for line 6

[slate swan]

no line 6 more

[fallen imp]

ohhh

[vocal laurel]

Hey @slate swan, do you know about discord presence in vs code?

[slate swan]

you talking about this?

[vocal laurel]

yes

[slate swan]

its extension to vs code

[vocal laurel]

yes ik in #editors-ides i showed a problem i have been encountering, could you please check it out?

[umbral bay]

anyone has idea on how to call the display username of a user, like before the discord update of new usernames, we would call the user using message.author.name and it would just use the name part and avoid the discrimnator and # sign,

[turbid condor]

I think user.name can now get new usernames after latest updates

[naive briar]

!d discord.Member.display_name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.display\_name

property display_name```
Returns the user’s display name.

For regular users this is just their global name or their username, but if they have a guild specific nickname then that is returned instead.

[naive briar]

Like this?

[umbral bay]

i was trying to get the name which shows up in chat, so couldn't find the specific name which comes after message.author but finally got it

[umbral bay]

yes yes thanks a lot appreciate the help

[turbid condor]

Mb

I thought u were trying to ask how to get new user names as discriminators are gone

[slate swan]

depends what database also its not really related to this channel topic

well this could be for anything but the question is related to databases

#databases or #1035199133436354600

[hasty pike]

Is there any audit log broadcast event

[naive briar]

Read the docs

!d discord.on_audit_log_entry_create

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_audit\_log\_entry\_create

discord.on_audit_log_entry_create(entry)```
Called when a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") gets a new audit log entry. 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 receive this.

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

New in version 2.2.

Warning

Audit log entries received through the gateway are subject to data retrieval from cache rather than REST. This means that some data might not be present when you expect it to be. For example, the [`AuditLogEntry.target`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AuditLogEntry.target "discord.AuditLogEntry.target") attribute will usually be a [`discord.Object`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Object "discord.Object") and the [`AuditLogEntry.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AuditLogEntry.user "discord.AuditLogEntry.user") attribute will depend on user and member cache.

To get the user ID of entry, [`AuditLogEntry.user_id`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AuditLogEntry.user_id "discord.AuditLogEntry.user_id") can be used instead.

[hasty pike]

How do I use it is there any example?

[naive briar]

Like any other events

[hasty pike]

What do I put in (entry)?

[naive briar]

What?

[hasty pike]

It has entry parameter ryt

[naive briar]

Yes?

[hasty pike]

how do we get specific event from it?

[thin raft]

Am I doing something wrong?

I am getting 401 unauthorized

[naive briar]

What specific event

[hasty pike]

discord.AuditLogAction.ban

[naive briar]

Then just check it

[hasty pike]

using if statement

[naive briar]

Shouldn't the Authorization data be sent in the headers and not data?

Not fully sure though 🐈

[thin raft]

same

[quiet badge]

so cooool

[full cosmos]

Hello!
My bot keeps crashing when it tries to reply to a deleted message. How do I make it so it still sends the message without replying to the original command but still mentioning the command's author?

For clarification: I still want it to reply when the message has not been deleted.

[naive briar]

Ping them?

!d discord.User.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.mention

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

[full cosmos]

It currently does both. I want it to recognize when there's no message to reply to so it only pings. Right now it just crashes the whole bot when that happens.

[naive briar]

Why was the message deleted anyway

[full cosmos]

Sometimes people do that when they make a typo or want to hide their command. It's rare but I don't want to restart my bot every time it happens.

[left stirrup]

quick question Is it legal to sell discord bots that can play songs from youtube?

[full cosmos]

I highly doubt it considering they have taken down bots like that before.

[left stirrup]

damn alright

[swift acorn]

I sometimes get an Unknown Interaction error in random commands that work normally most of the other time, any idea why this might be?

I notice that it happens when there is some other action processing in the background like something in the on_message event

[young dagger]

What are you looking for? Here is an example:

    guild = ctx.guild
    bans = []
    async for entry in guild.audit_logs(action=discord.AuditLogAction.ban, limit=10):
        bans.append(entry)

    if not bans:
        await ctx.send("No recent bans found.")
    else:
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Recent Bans", color=discord.Color.red())
        for entry in bans:
            embed.add_field(name="Banned User", value=entry.target)
            embed.add_field(name="Reason", value=entry.reason or "No reason provided")
            embed.set_footer(text=f"Banned by {entry.user} at {entry.created_at}")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

Shows the most recent 10 bans in the server

[full cosmos]

Does that "on_message" have async on it?

[swift acorn]

yep

I suspect it might be that some of the commands take more than 3 seconds at times, so the interaction fails
I am gonna try and defer all interactions first and then followup response, on all of them

hopefully this fix works

[hasty pike]

Well i was looking for this but thanks anyway

@bot.event
async def on_audit_log_entry_create(entry):
    if entry.action == discord.AuditLogAction.ban:
        if entry.target is not None and isinstance(entry.target, discord.Member):
            banned_member = entry.target
            guild = entry.guild
            moderator = entry.user
            reason = entry.reason

[ivory crypt]

In discord.py, can I use interaction.followup.send to send ephemeral messages?

[vocal laurel]

yes iirc

[ivory crypt]

Oh oh thx

[vocal laurel]

does it answer ur question?

when deferring, if you set ephemeral to True, your first followup will be ephemeral regardless of what you pass to the ephemeral kwarg of followup.send. If you have ephemeral set to False, your first followup won't be ephemeral. - Main point for u

[ivory crypt]

thx, I am gonna to try it

[vocal laurel]

ok

[vernal bone]

what permission do you need to use fetch_channel?

[upbeat otter]

discord.Permissions.view_channel

[vernal bone]

how would I give that to my bot, im a little slow rn. Like is there a role perm I can give it?

[upbeat otter]

you need to edit the channel's perms too to let the role access the channel

[vernal bone]

ah ok

[slate swan]

did you start this task?

[vernal bone]

is there a way to detect if the user isn't in the server anymore because I have a list of user ids and need to remove the ids from the list that aren't in the discord server anymore

[vocal snow]

iterate through your list, use guild.get_member to check if the member is in the guild, if it is then pop

[silk wasp]

Add in another method

@auto_send.before_loop

set the channel and run the auto send with the channel as the args

[vernal bone]

tried that, it is returning and saying all members are "None" yet some of them I know are in the server

toRemove = []
        
for i in old:
    member = guild.get_member(int(i))
    print(guild, int(i), member)
    if member is None:
        toRemove.append(i)

for index in toRemove:
    del old[index]```

[formal basin]

you can use on_member_remove so when they leave it does something

[vernal bone]

but if the member is already gone but in the list, it wouldn't do anything

[formal basin]

true

[idle surge]

Okay, thank you.

[idle surge]

how would I do that?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop.start

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop.start

start(*args, **kwargs)```
Starts the internal task in the event loop.

[idle surge]

how can i make my bot uh log the user who adds a reaction and sends the reaction they put and the user in a log channel

[slate swan]

[vernal bone]

when I print guild.members, it sends SequenceProxy(dict_values([])), how can I iterate through this?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.members

property members```
A list of members that belong to this guild.

[vernal bone]

just a sequence of members, how do I iterate through a sequence

[slate swan]

like you would normally? using for loop

[vernal bone]

it doesn't do anything. Its like guild.members is empty

[slate swan]

show code

[formal basin]

here @slate swan

[vernal bone]

that's the old one

[formal basin]

oh.

[vernal bone]

if role in interaction.user.roles:
        old = None
        await interaction.response.defer()
        with open(f"{file}", "r") as vouchFile:
            old = json.load(vouchFile)
        
        members = guild.members
        memberIds = []
        print(guild.members)
        for i in members:
            memberIds.append(i.id)

        print(memberIds)
        for i in old.copy():
            if not i in memberIds:
                del old[i]

        with open(f"{file}", "w") as vouchFile:
            json.dump(old, vouchFile, indent=4)```

[slate swan]

there is no guild.members used

[vernal bone]

apologies for formatting

[slate swan]

and what you you get when you print i inside for loop

[vernal bone]

it doesn't print anything, basically if you try to do

a = []
for i in a:
  print(i)```

and guild is not None, i've tried printing it

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/630b2a1e550b7f0cfc8495ed0da70d3ef577bd50/discord/utils.py#L215-L261

[slate swan]

based on this representation there are no members in the guild

[slate swan]

discord.gg/dpy

[vernal bone]

ok

[slate swan]

ask here i have no idea why its empty then

[shrewd apex]

do u have server members intent enabled?

[vernal bone]

yeah, I got it fixed, thank you though.

[shrewd apex]

what was the issue?

intents?

[midnight stirrup]

Could someone help me point out the issue here?

[slate swan]

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[swift acorn]

So the only way is for me to hope the process doesn't ever go over 3 seconds otherwise the interaction fails

[slate swan]

You can always defer the interaction

[swift acorn]

yeah but then I can't respond with modal

because interaction already responded to

[slate swan]

Hm yeah

You can always send the modal and do logic inside it

[swift acorn]

Well yeah, but sometimes it's like a check I wanna do to see if I wanna send them the modal at all or not
Which usually does not take more than 3 seconds, but for some reason when there is a lot of other stuff going on too I get Unknown Interaction errors so that's why I was deferring everything to be safe

But I guess for this one I will hope it doesn't

[midnight stirrup]

So, with the last line being the issue. Should removing the indent fix it?

[full cosmos]

Hello!
I have a bot that crashes when it tries to reply to a message, which was deleted in the mean time. Can I somehow make it so the bot sends the message anyway but doesn't reply? (only when the message was deleted)

[shrewd apex]

i just defer everything by default to be safe 🙏

[slate swan]

you are supposed to read this

[shrewd apex]

try except

[slate swan]

and apply changes to your code

[shrewd apex]

try reply if error just send it

[slate swan]

check if message exists or just catch errors

[full cosmos]

I tried that and it crashed the same way anyways, even when the except was just: print("nope")

[midnight stirrup]

I did, but I only sort of understand it

[slate swan]

the problem with your code is that you are inconsistent with using indentation

[shrewd apex]

try:
    await ctx.reply()
except discord.HTTPException:
    await ctx.send()

@full cosmos

[slate swan]

the issue was that he was using client.fetch_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.fetch\_guild

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

Retrieves a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") from an ID.

[slate swan]

yeah i didnt know it until now

[hasty coral]

Hi all, im creating a leaderboard command to show every users level and xp in their current server. However i keep getting the error nontype has no attribute name anyone know why?

Code:

async def leaderboard(ctx):
    if str(ctx.guild.id) not in level_data:
        await ctx.send('No recorded levels in this server.')
        return

    sorted_data = sorted(level_data[str(ctx.guild.id)].items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
    leaderboard_embed = discord.Embed(title='Level Leaderboard', color=discord.Color.gold())

    for i, (user_id, xp) in enumerate(sorted_data[:10]):
        user = ctx.guild.get_member(int(user_id))
        leaderboard_embed.add_field(name=f'{i+1}. {user.name}', value=f'XP: {xp}', inline=False)

    await ctx.send(embed=leaderboard_embed)```

[shrewd apex]

but fetch_guild like that would raise tracemalloc and not empty iterator

get_guild if not changed will just return None

[slate swan]

it did return a guild but the members list is just empty

[shrewd apex]

!e None.name

u need to fetch it

not get it get gets it from cache

riiight i see

Hmm now it works. 😅

I swear I tried that exact same thing earlier and it didn't work

happens to the best of us :p altho u prolly made some error somewhere else

[full cosmos]

definitely

Okay, so this works...

But this doesn't.

"ValueError: I/O operation on closed file"

what file_objects are?

How can I detect duplicates with this in this when its converted into a python dict using `json.load` (used for a discord bot)

[proper thicket]

Check the requirements

[zenith ginkgo]

yeah i did, made sure it was a community server, made sure it was a slash command (global command) and waited 24 hours

this is the second time i tried

[sick birch]

Has anybody used the slash command?

[naive briar]

Detect what duplicate

[drifting arrow]

A json file acts similar to a python dictionary, so the keys cant be duplicated. However the values can be duplicated.
One method you could consider is sorting the values in each key list, and just doing a simple comparison..

[vernal bone]

Ok, thanks

[drifting arrow]

Alternatively, before you append to the list you make sure the value isnt already in the list

if not x in mylist: mylist.append(x)

[naive briar]

set moment

[drifting arrow]

Dont come @ me with your silliness

[naive briar]

What?

[drifting arrow]

idk

anyway. hi

How are you @naive briar

[slate swan]

**CAn anyone help me Why the emoji's are not showing in embed , tho I have picked all the emoji from the server in which my discord bot is already in **

[dry sedge]

how do I get the id of the current channel

[slate swan]

Code?

[slate swan]

channel_id = message.channel.id
print(f"The ID of the current channel is: {channel_id}")

[dry sedge]

can it be done in js

[slate swan]

Yes, I don't code in js though and this is the python server

[dry sedge]

can you just make an exception in my dms then 😄

oh wait

you dont code nvm I didnt see that

its fine

[vocal snow]

Why don't you just ask in the discord.js server?

discord.gg/djs

[dry sedge]

ok

[naive briar]

Are they in code blocks

:pithink:

[turbid condor]

Why are u putting the emojis in a block?

[slate swan]

oh got it

[slate swan]

tq

[echo wasp]

I keep getting the any for the varible no matter witch i try

[quick gust]

I think we all know why

[zenith ginkgo]

yes they were executed

[slate swan]

Cause you cant put Emoji in code block

[hollow osprey]

not sure what you mean by that

[hasty coral]

@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)

    if member is None:
        raise commands.BadArgument("You need to mention a user you want to kick.")
        
    await member.kick(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f'{member} has been kicked.')

        await ctx.send("You don't have permission to kick members.")
    else:
        # Handle other errors here
        pass```

No error message appears in the console, but when a user inputs `?kick` without mentioning a user, the custom error message `You need to mention a user you want to kick.` does not appear.

[slate swan]

    if member is None:
        raise commands.BadArgument("You need to mention a user you want to kick.")
``` this will never be raised since if member is not specified `MissingRequiredArgument` will be raised

[hasty coral]

does that mean i have to change BadArgument to MissingRequiredArgument?

[slate swan]

no when user does not pass the member it doesnt even go into the command code

it goes to error handler directly so you need to add this case to your handler

[hasty coral]

right i see

[ivory crypt]

Is it possible for channel.fetched_message(message_id) to delete a ephemeral message?

[full cosmos]

Can somebody please take a look at this? I still haven't been able to figure out what is wrong. ☹️

Why does it give me an error message saying: "In message_reference: Unknown message" only when the file objects are attached to the message in the "except" part?

[slate swan]

slash.command doesn't work for me, its weird
is this the right code?
@bot.slash_command() async def epic(ctx): await ctx.respond(f"epic !")

error: slash_commands it not a real thing do you mean add_command?

[slate swan]

what library are you using

discord.py

my code

`import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import json

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

@bot.slash_command()
async def epic(ctx):
await ctx.respond(f"epic !")

bot.run("bro thought i would show my token 💀")`

there is no such decorator like .slash_command in discord.py

[full cosmos]

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

try that

[slate swan]

alright

[slate swan]

1. its not slash command
2. why spoon feed

oh yeah

[full cosmos]

It's a help channel is it not?

[slate swan]

to create slash commands you dont set prefix as /

oh

then how to do it?

[slate swan]

yeah its supposed to be for helping not giving away straight answers

[slate swan]

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

Formatting code on discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[kindred iron]

I feel it's ext.tasks problem bc when i use same code somewhere else ( like commands) it works fine

[naive briar]

Why would it be

[slate swan]

all the tasks does is run it in intervals

[kindred iron]

Yea that's why i said this question

    @commands.command()
    async def test(self, ctx):
        await self.bot.cursor.execute("""SELECT * FROM temp_ban""")
        data = await self.bot.cursor.fetchall()

        print(data)

Like, this work fine

It's literally the same code

[slate swan]

how do you define bot.cursor

[kindred iron]

self.db_connection : aiosqlite.Connection = await aiosqlite.connect("./database.db")
        self.cursor : aiosqlite.Cursor = await self.db_connection.cursor()```

[slate swan]

and that is inside Bot subclass?

[kindred iron]

Ye

[slate swan]

and where is task located

[kindred iron]

Cog

[slate swan]

since it takes self

try adding this py @temp_ban.before_loop async def _before(self): await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

[kindred iron]

Did this already

[slate swan]

then no idea

[kindred iron]

[naive briar]

Can you show your cog's full code

[slate swan]

you start the task right?

[kindred iron]

Yes

[kindred iron]

!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.

[kindred iron]

Ah wait

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nobovuvozo

Btw i start the task on class init

!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.

hmm

[rugged shadow]

do you have an on_command_error?

you might be silencing errors

[slate swan]

what happens when you do !help or whatever your prefix is

there is a built in help command does this command appear here

hm fair enough

well how about you add print("Im here") print at top of your command

does it prints in console

ah so it works just not for you?

the voice_channel does not have .owner attribute

!d discord.VoiceChannel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel

class discord.VoiceChannel```
Represents a Discord guild voice channel.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

x != y Checks if two channels are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the channel’s hash.

str(x) Returns the channel’s name.

[slate swan]

no there are no owners of voice channels on discord

[naive briar]

Do what

[slate swan]

use database i would say

your global error handler is silencing the errors either comment it out for debugging or add else: print(error) or smth like that so if the error is not handled it is shown in console

[naive briar]

(or just re-raise it)

[slate swan]

yeah

class ErrorNotHandled(Exception):
    pass

raise ErrorNotHandled() from error

``` i wonder if that would work and make sense

[naive briar]

Should be fine

You're getting the owner of the guild

And there's no such thing as an owner of a voice channel

[slate swan]

if thats how you want to handle it

then only the guild owner will be available to delete channels

i suppose you have a command to create a channel as well

if so you could do as follows:

• on creating channel save who created a channel and what is the channel id to database
• on removing channel check if the person trying to remove the channel did create it

no json file is not a good idea for database

im talking about a real database ile mysql or mongodb

there is easiest way

but it has one con

if you restart the bot all data is gone

you could use bot varriables

and store it in dictionary

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Bot variables

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

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

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

but like i said when you restart the bot all data is gone

[cinder tulip]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", owner_id = [ID1, ID2],  intents=discord.Intents.all())

why cant i use owner commands now

[slate swan]

owner_ids

[cinder tulip]

oh is that it?

[slate swan]

yes.

[cinder tulip]

i guess i am dumb xD

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client"), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

always good to check what attributes it has

owner_id is when you pass one id

[surreal mist]

hello i am an probleme with my bot discord ```py

from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands
intents = discord.Intents().all() # Crée une instance des intents par défaut

intents.message_content = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.members = True

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print("go")

@bot.command
async def bonjour(ctx):
await ctx.send("bonjour")

[slate swan]

you update intents after you already passed them to Bot

[naive briar]

Nice

[surreal mist]

?

[vocal snow]

@bot.command() call it

and these 3 lines are useless ```py
intents.message_content = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.members = True

[surreal mist]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "bonjour" is not found

[slate swan]

discord.Intents().all() this correct syntax for class method?

[naive briar]

They will not be able to make prefix commands

[slate swan]

maybe for your use case its good

[naive briar]

Just think for a second

[slate swan]

no go back to .all

discord.Intents.all()

[surreal mist]

good

[naive briar]

Call the @bot.command

[surreal mist]

what

[naive briar]

Sigh

[surreal mist]

sorry I am French and I start in Discord bot so I do not understand everything

[tacit prawn]

How can I set one of the arguments in a command to have certain options in python?

[slate swan]

Anyone know why on the discord.py docs doesn't work in vs code (slash command)

[tacit prawn]

Just tell me like the function name, and I can read up on the docs

[tacit prawn]

Can I see the code?

[slate swan]

ok

@client.slash_command() async def commandName(ctx): await ctx.respond(f"Hello !")

i got it from docs

[naive briar]

What docs

[tacit prawn]

Try this:

    @commands.hybrid_command(
        name="hello", #What you have to type in to run the command
        description="say hello", #desc of the command
    )

    async def group_info(self, context: Context): #Function for the command
        await context.send("Hello") #Code to run for the command vvvv

[naive briar]

client.slash_command doesn't exist

[tacit prawn]

But, that will get member count

[naive briar]

That is for using inside a class

[tacit prawn]

Yea

[slate swan]

ok

[tacit prawn]

are you putting all of this into a class?

[slate swan]

idk im new

to coding and stuff 💀

because i don't want to get the same random number for all called commands (casino game)

[slate swan]

[wooden storm]

is discord.py the best lib to use? as in most up-to-date and most actively developed

compared to like nextcord, pycord, disnake, etc

[vocal snow]

all of those are actively developed

the "best" one depends on whether you like the way the library has implemented something

[sick birch]

Though I would recommend discord.py simply because it has the most support

[slate swan]

Same

me always suggesting nextcord

[slate swan]

anyone know how to import commands from different files to main python file (discord.py library)

why dont you check docs

!d discord.Guild.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.roles

property roles```
Returns a sequence of the guild’s roles in hierarchy order.

The first element of this sequence will be the lowest role in the hierarchy.

[slate swan]

how would i wait for someone to click my button

[slate swan]

what do you wanna do cause you can use callback to do something on button click

[stark socket]

im making a bot that needs to associate people across servers as the same person the best way to do this is by getting the username instead of the nick right? how can i do that?

[slate swan]

i want to wait for when they click then i proceed

[sick birch]

Use their IDs

Users can change their usernames however they can't change their ID

[midnight oracle]

can someone help im trying to make that it would extract all the messages from discord channel and it doesnt work

i did everything correct asked chatgpt and more

still the same issue

it should even show a extracted messages counter

but it just shows this

sorry im new

[potent spear]

don't

[potent spear]

what do you expect it to show instead?

run_bot()
useless function

you're missing message_content intents

[slate swan]

It should show the extracted message counter and it should be saved to output.txt but it doesnt work

[grand swan]

what should i write to have a discord bot play audio? (ideally using .play (file))

[potent spear]

there's an example either on the docs or on their github > examples for this use case

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message

did you enable message_content intents in the discord dev portal too?

[potent spear]

print the message content before you write it to the txt file, you'll see

[grand swan]

could i have a link to that? also here's some of the code i have so far and it works but i have to type in .play1(song) and it's only for one and i was wondering if there's a way to have it so i do .play space (any song i have on the directory) i tried arg already but it didn't work.

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def play1example(ctx):
voice = ctx.guild.voice_client
source = FFmpegPCMAudio('discord bot\example.wav')
player = voice.play(source)

[potent spear]

I want you to look for it first, then I'll give you the link

[slate swan]

Yeah

[potent spear]

proof?

[potent spear]

what you're actually looking for is arguments
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#parameters

[potent spear]

print the message content in on_message
see if that gets printed

[slate swan]

Alright ill try tomorrow

[grand swan]

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def play(ctx, arg):
voice = ctx.guild.voice_client
source = FFmpegPCMAudio(arg + '.wav')
player = voice.play(source)

this is the code i tried with arg, ffmpeg outputed a return code of 1

[potent spear]

that's simple because
arg + '.wav'
isn't the path to your audio file

[grand swan]

but if i play a play command for example, wouldn't it only play 1 audio file?

[potent spear]

why would it?

[slate swan]

did you write this code?

[potent spear]

if your arg specifies a different audio file, it'll play that different audio file
at least, if you specified the PATH to it correctly

[slate swan]

cause the pass_context = True does not exist any more

[grand swan]

oh, it worked for me before

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating_to_v1.html#context-changes

it was changed in v1

and its 2.3.1 already long time ago

[grand swan]

if i specify the file path, wouldn't it only play that one file?

[potent spear]

that's where arg comes in

[grand swan]

sorry if i'm not getting some basic concepts i'm very new to most python

[potent spear]

<your audio files directory> + filename + .wav

[grand swan]

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def play(ctx, arg):
voice = ctx.guild.voice_client
source = FFmpegPCMAudio('discord bot' + 'filename' + '.wav')
player = voice.play(source)

i probably did it wrong

[potent spear]

you're guessing

make a separate variable for the file path, print it and see if you think it's correct
spoiler, it's not

[grand swan]

I'm new to python so I'm just assuming what I have to do.

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def play(ctx):
voice = ctx.guild.voice_client
source = FFmpegPCMAudio(file + '.wav')
player = voice.play(source)

file = 'discord bot\pvzm.wav'
print(file)

[potent spear]

put the lines under voice
and put the file path in the FFmpegPCMAudio ofc

[grand swan]

like this?

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def play(ctx):
voice = ctx.guild.voice_client
source = FFmpegPCMAudio(file + '.wav')
file = 'discord bot\pvzm.wav'
player = voice.play(source)

what i undestood from variable is that file = 'discord bot/pvzm.wav' and in ffmpegpcmaudio it is doing discord bot/pvzm.wav + '.wav'

[potent spear]

did you put it under voice? you didn't

[grand swan]

this is what imported btw

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import FFmpegPCMAudio

[potent spear]

not relevant 👍

[grand swan]

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def play(ctx):
voice = ctx.guild.voice_client
file= 'discord bot\pvzm.wav'
source = FFmpegPCMAudio(file + '.wav')
player = voice.play(source)

i'm not sure if you meant literally under like under the line or under like inside

[potent spear]

alr, now put only the file in FFmpegPCMAudio
beause ofc ...wav.wav makes no sense

and you completely removed the arg, not great

[grand swan]

ah i see, so it would be somebody types for example trumpet and trumpet is a variable and it's in the source

[potent spear]

this is closer than anything you had before

[potent spear]

we only want the filepath in the FF....Audio, we can change the filepath based on the argument

[grand swan]

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def play(ctx, arg):
voice = ctx.guild.voice_client
file= 'discord bot\pvzm.wav'
source = FFmpegPCMAudio(file)
player = voice.play(source)

Like this? i put the arg after ctx

[potent spear]

there we go

now all that's left for you is to actually use that arg variable of yours

[grand swan]

should i put a bunch of variables under voice like pvzm = file for example

[potent spear]

so change the file variable correctly, so it actually uses the arg variable to create the filepath

[potent spear]

nope

[grand swan]

this works for one variable, but what should i do for multiple? should i put
source = FFmpegPCMAudio(A, B, C)

or

source = FFmpegPCMAudio(arg)

[potent spear]

read this again

[grand swan]

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def play(ctx, arg):
voice = ctx.guild.voice_client
arg= 'discord bot\pvzm.wav'
source = FFmpegPCMAudio(arg)
player = voice.play(source)

hmm

[potent spear]

I'll just give it to you for now, as this will probably take too much time for something quite simple

file_path = "discord_bot\\" + arg + ".wav"
source = ...Audio(file_path)```

[grand swan]

is "file_path a variable?

[potent spear]

correct

if you want to make it actually work:

from pathlib import Path
# ...

current_file_directory = Path(__file__).parent
audio_file_path = current_file_directory / f"{arg}.wav"
source = ...Audio(audio_file_path)```

[grand swan]

what is ...audio?

vs code is giving me some errors with ...audio

[potent spear]

that's FFmpegAudio

I'm just lazy of typing it all out

I hoped you'd understand, so you wouldn't copy paste
I guess you did

[sick birch]

[grand swan]

the arg isn't regonized by pylance for some reason

[potent spear]

because you probably either didn't even put it in the command
or you just removed that arg...

[grand swan]

yeah it works, thank you, i appreciate the patience with me lol.

[torn solar]

how can i check if a member has a certain role

if "Chairman" in ctx.author.roles.name():

it says list has no attribute name

[naive briar]

Duh??? Because it doesn't?

Where did you get this thing from

[torn solar]

because name is an attribute of discord.Role

[naive briar]

It's not of list

[torn solar]

can you help me fix it

or just tell me why im wrong

[worthy mortar]

does this not work?

…
user_has_role = any(role.name == “nameOfRole” for role in member.roles)
…

[naive briar]

I just did

In the docs its Role.name

[torn solar]

i figured it out

thanks tho

        description = ' '.join(args)

        channel = bot.get_channel(anc)  # Replace CHANNEL_ID with the actual channel ID

            await channel.send(embed=embed)
    else:
        await ctx.send("You need to have the chairman role to do this")```

its not working even tho i have a role named Chairman

[naive briar]

You're comparing string to roles

Is it that hard to understand why it won't work

[torn solar]

you gotta be a dick?

[naive briar]

How so

[torn solar]

im asking for help in a help channel

and your just telling me im an idiot

[naive briar]

It's just commonsense

[fierce crag]

@naive briar please try to help without being condescending.

[turbid condor]

U will have to first fetch the role using utils.get and then use that to check if the user has that role or not
Like

role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name='role_name')
If role in ctx.author.roles:

[torn solar]

i figured it out

chatgpt helps and isnt rude

[vocal snow]

You could just use discord.utils.get on ctx.author.roles directly btw

[turbid condor]

Welp yeah that works too

[naive briar]

lmao

can someone here help me regarding dpy json?

    @commands.command()

        if gid not in data:
            with open('logs_data.json', 'w') as f:
                data[gid] = {}
                data[gid]['cid'] = channel.id
                json.dump(data, f, indent = 4)

        await ctx.reply(f'{channel.mention} has been set as greet channel.')

[naive briar]

What's wrong then

I guess I don't have to look that long

[winter token]

so when i did for general, it set the gchannel to general and added its id in the json file

[naive briar]

First, the gid is an int, JSON keys can only be strings

[winter token]

but when i did for sexy channel

cid wasnt updated in the file

@naive briar

nvm

figured it out

just remove the from discord import app_commands

yea of role cmd

[slate swan]

yea i did that and got this

[turbid condor]

my bad leave this as it is

[slate swan]

oh okay

[turbid condor]

make sure you have the latest discord.py version

not discord

[winter token]

u sure that u gave correct role name while using the cmd?

[turbid condor]

u are have py-cord whereas the code u are using is for discord.py

[slate swan]

how do i check my discord py version?

[potent spear]

import discord
print(discord.__version__)```

[turbid condor]

use pip freeze

[potent spear]

or that

[slate swan]

discord.py==1.7.3

[turbid condor]

Try using utils.get to get the role and then remove it

[winter token]

send ss of the role u are trying to give to the user

[turbid condor]

update it

use pip --upgrade discord.py

and then run your code that should solve the problem

remove it from the user

role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=f'{role}')
If role in member.roles:

Edit: don't add remove in member.roles.remove that will fetch an error

[short steppe]

pip3 install -U discord.py

oh ye ur right

i put true for some reason

now im gonna try to have it add a button to a message i will be here if i need any help xd

[turbid condor]

👍

[turbid condor]

In case you need examples
Check this out

Buttons (or components) are now in the 2.0a version of the library which is only obtainable from GitHub, see ?tag dins for how to install this version.

If you wish to use Buttons (and Selects/Dropdowns), please view the documentation for discord.ui here:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#bot-ui-kit

You can also view examples in the repo: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

[slate swan]

I want to make a link box like this lol

[turbid condor]

its included in the gist

[slate swan]

wdym Idk which type of button that is called

the link button

[turbid condor]

yeah

[slate swan]

i only see cmds

[turbid condor]

that's how you create buttons the are called views in discord.py

those are examples on how to create them and then send them with your message

[slate swan]

githubs confuse me very much so ill just see if there's something on yt ican check out

ik how to make the button link just dont know how to make all that into an slash command

[turbid condor]

welp I'd still suggest checking the gist since its in accordance with latest version as turtorial are not

[turbid condor]

its pretty simple let me fetch the link.py from the gist

i'll try explaining

# This example requires the 'message_content' privileged intent to function.

from discord.ext import commands

import discord
from urllib.parse import quote_plus


class GoogleBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.default()
        intents.message_content = True

        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('$'), intents=intents)

    async def on_ready(self):
        print(f'Logged in as {self.user} (ID: {self.user.id})')
        print('------')


# Define a simple View that gives us a google link button.
# We take in `query` as the query that the command author requests for
class Google(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, query: str):
        super().__init__()
        # we need to quote the query string to make a valid url. Discord will raise an error if it isn't valid.
        query = quote_plus(query)
        url = f'https://www.google.com/search?q={query}'

        # Link buttons cannot be made with the decorator
        # Therefore we have to manually create one.
        # We add the quoted url to the button, and add the button to the view.
        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label='Click Here', url=url))


bot = GoogleBot()


@bot.command()
async def google(ctx: commands.Context, *, query: str):
    """Returns a google link for a query"""
    await ctx.send(f'Google Result for: `{query}`', view=Google(query))


bot.run('token')```

[slate swan]

Huh?

[turbid condor]

u see the Google class it contains a View(basically a button) which contains

[slate swan]

I see but I'm not using cogs

[turbid condor]

these work even without cogs

and this example is not using cogs

its using @bot

[slate swan]

There's a class though

I wouldn't know how to take that and make a slashcommand with a link button

[turbid condor]

instead of

    await ctx.send(f'Google Result for: `{query}`', view=Google(query))```

[slate swan]

interactionn

[turbid condor]

yup

that will send the button with the message

[slate swan]

but what would i put above that I'm very confused 😅

[turbid condor]

class Google(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, query: str):
        super().__init__()
        # we need to quote the query string to make a valid url. Discord will raise an error if it isn't valid.
        query = quote_plus(query)
        url = f'https://www.google.com/search?q={query}'

        # Link buttons cannot be made with the decorator
        # Therefore we have to manually create one.
        # We add the quoted url to the button, and add the button to the view.
        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label='Click Here', url=url))

you can change the class name the link and label

[slate swan]

I have this

async def send(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"https://restorecord.com/verify/1125684013672181801",
    ephemeral=False)```
What I'm confused about is how to add a link button to a message

[turbid condor]

and yeah no need for that query line

class XYZ(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, query: str):
        super().__init__()
        url = 'Your Link Here'

        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label='Button_Name', url=url))

Then you can send it like

await interanction.response.send_message('Your_message_here', view=XYZ)````

This will send the button

[slate swan]

how would i make it no message could i leave it blank

for example

[turbid condor]

just remove the message

[potent spear]

why do you think this "error" occurs?

[slate swan]

ik why i just sent

because he said remove message

[turbid condor]

you have to do that in your command

[potent spear]

you even copy pasted his typo :/

[slate swan]

and I fixed

[slate swan]

command?

[turbid condor]

when do you want to send that button?

[slate swan]

as soon as I use the slash command /send

[turbid condor]

then why u asking me the command

[slate swan]

I have been saying slash command no?

[turbid condor]

and from when did prefix commands start using interaction?

[slate swan]

._. I will just create python-help channel

Thx a lot though

        await ctx.send(embed = embed, delete_after = 5)

bot wont delete msg when I do $purge amt bot

but sends the embed

[slate swan]

did you try debugging it?

printing what if block is triggered etc?

[winter token]

and when i do $purge amt attachments, it won't delete the msg used for invoking it

[winter token]

yes

[slate swan]

because you coded it to

it will delete only messages containing attachments

[winter token]

oh yea

so what should I do

[slate swan]

what do you want to do

[winter token]

how do I fix the problem

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.message

The message that triggered the command being executed.

Note

In the case of an interaction based context, this message is “synthetic” and does not actually exist. Therefore, the ID on it is invalid similar to ephemeral messages.

[slate swan]

delete the message yourself

[winter token]

no another problem 💀

[slate swan]

how am i supposed to know

[winter token]

this

[slate swan]

it deletes the messages only from the bot accounts

[winter token]

also when what attribute is used for determining if the author is human

[winter token]

Yes but it is not deleting

when i execute it just sends the embed and does nothing

[slate swan]

!d discord.User.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.bot

Specifies if the user is a bot account.

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[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.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages...

[slate swan]

see what it returns and see what it does for you

[winter token]

when i did purge 2, it purged 0 msg and when i did 10, it purged 1

[young dagger]

Is this a good way to implement a ping command for the bot?

    message = await ctx.channel.send("Pong!")  # Send initial "Pong!" message
    latency = int(client.latency * 1000)
    await message.edit(content=f"Pong! `{latency}ms`")  # Edit message with actual latency```

[turbid condor]

Why are u editing the message??

When u can get the latency before the message and send it in the message

[young dagger]

I noticed other bots do that as well

[turbid condor]

Welp u could have sent it in the first message

You are sending an extra request when it's not needed

[turbid condor]

?

Oh the edited part

[young dagger]

Yeah

[turbid condor]

Welp that's ok too

Depends on what u want to do

[slate swan]

well it will work but is prolly not what you want to achieve cause it wont edit the message after the desired amount of latency it will just edit it right away so in this case its better to send message with ping at once

[proud fossil]

can anyone help me on making a pokemon bot?

[slate swan]

@shrewd apex

[winter token]

can any1 help me?? been looking into the same code for an hour, still can't figure out what's wrong

[young dagger]

Could you explain why other bots employ this method of sending the message first and then editing it with a ping?

[turbid condor]

It's their choice nothing else we can say

But yeah I'll stick with down since the message will be edited almost instantaneously so no need to send an extra req

[slate swan]

they possibly gather the latency by sending the first message and then update it with gathered latency

[winter token]

..

[slate swan]

limit is the number of messages to search through, not necessarily the number of messages being deleted

limit (Optional[int]) – The number of messages to search through. This is not the number of messages that will be deleted, though it can be.

[winter token]

then what do I do

loop?

[slate swan]

Write some code that determines the purge limit from the target & the count

[young dagger]

Is that not what my code is doing as well?

[slate swan]

No its not

[young dagger]

I see. So how is my code any different?

[slate swan]

you are getting overall latency between HEARTBEAT and a HEARTBEAT_ACK

so thats not how long it took to send a message via api

[young dagger]

Any ideas on how I can accomplish that?

    start_time = ctx.message.created_at
    message = await ctx.channel.send("Pong!")  # Send initial "Pong!" message
    end_time = message.created_at
    latency = int((end_time - start_time).total_seconds() * 1000) 
    await message.edit(content=f"Pong! `{latency}ms`")  # Edit message with actual latency```

Or would you have done it differently?

[slate swan]

!e ```py
import datetime
import time

start = datetime.datetime.now()

do something

time.sleep(1)

end = datetime.datetime.now()

print(f"Took: {end - start}")

[unkempt canyon]

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

Took: 0:00:01.000097

[young dagger]

Thank you

My code:

   start_time = datetime.datetime.now()
   # message = send message
   end_time = datetime.datetime.now()
   latency = int((end_time - start_time).total_seconds() * 1000)
   # edit message with latency```

[slate swan]

should be good

[naive briar]

!d time.perf_counter me when

[unkempt canyon]

time.perf\_counter

time.perf_counter() → float```
Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a performance counter, i.e. a clock with the highest available resolution to measure a short duration. It does include time elapsed during sleep and is system-wide. The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the difference between the results of two calls is valid.

Use [`perf_counter_ns()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.perf_counter_ns "time.perf_counter_ns") to avoid the precision loss caused by the [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "float") type.

New in version 3.3.

Changed in version 3.10: On Windows, the function is now system-wide.

what lib can i get slash_cammand .-.

[turbid condor]

dpy also has slash commands but the are not defined using slash_commands

so please stop using old tutorials and guides or gpt for coding

[turbid condor]

Use this instead

Here is a short example of how to use discord.py's slash commands as well as general information on them:

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

This currently covers free commands and groups at the Bot level, as well as within Cog classes.
It also includes information and gotchas relating to syncing and whatnot.

NOTE: This will be migrating to https://about.abstractumbra.dev/ as soon as I can be bothered to finish it.

[fallen imp]

thanks you

[fickle crown]

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
 XXX
 XXX```



I can't type commands right now.
before.
What has changed in Discord?
Can someone type $ping?

"Hello, can someone help me? I would like my bot to respond to a person when someone writes on the server. The bot doesn't have any issues, but it's not responding. Thank you."

[slate swan]

is this related to discord bots?

[swift trench]

i have no udea

[slate swan]

doesnt look like it is

[vocal snow]

do you have message content intents enabled? Do you have another on_message event?

[surreal mist]

yes a have another on_message event

[vocal snow]

the event decorator will override the internal event handler of your bot instance, hence you can only have one

it's better to use a listener instead

[slate swan]

[vocal snow]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

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

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

Example...

[slate swan]

bot.listen

[torn solar]

async def join(ctx):
    channel = bot.get_channel(join)
    await ctx.send("To join the party, go to" + channel.mention + "!")```

its saying nonetype has no attribute mention

i double checked and join is the id of the channel

[slate swan]

cause you pass join to .get_channel but join is name of the command

[torn solar]

oops

[worthy ridge]

guys having trouble with commands

the command keeps on getting registered as a message

@bot.command(name="hello") async def hello(ctx, arg: str): await ctx.channel.send("hello")

[regal tiger]

Discord.py uses bot.tree.command() for slash commands. Use that instead of bot.user_command().

[worthy ridge]

dude silly please help

[regal tiger]

Remove arg from the following:
async def hello(ctx, arg: str)

[worthy ridge]

tried with and without arg

[regal tiger]

Use bot.tree.command instead

[worthy ridge]

ah ok

[regal tiger]

and add the following to your on_ready function:

try:
    synced = await bot.tree.sync()
    print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Houston, we have a problem.....\n\nException upon syncing commands: {e}")

@worthy ridge

[worthy ridge]

ah thanks

what does await bot.tree.sync() do by

btw*

[slate swan]

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

[worthy ridge]

how do i make it guild independent

[slate swan]

you mean global?

[worthy ridge]

yea

[slate swan]

you dont pass the guild

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

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

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

[slate swan]

guild (Optional[Snowflake]) – The guild to sync the commands to. If None then it syncs all global commands instead.

[worthy ridge]

ahhhh

[torn solar]

await ctx.send('**ROLES**\nl\nlFounder - The Founder is the Founder of the whole party.\nlChairman - The Chairman mkes decisions for the party, Chairman is the party leader.\nlAdmin - Admin Means that you help with the party and the Discord server.\nlCampaign Manager - Campaign Manager is the position that gets supporters for the party.\nlParty Member - A party member means you are a member of the DMP\nlVisitor - Visitor means you are visiting our discord server, maybe reading policies.\nl\nl**POLICIES**\nl\nlView Crime Policies - View all of our policies about Crime\nlView Government Policies - View all of our policies about Government\nlView Business Policies - View all of our policies about Business\nl\nl' + ctx.author.mention)

why is it doing that

i fixed the POLICIES cus i didnt close it

but i dont understand why all the l's

[slate swan]

cause you coded it to?

you put \nl everywhere

[torn solar]

isnt that the newline

[slate swan]

\n is

[torn solar]

bruh i forgot im dumb

thanks tho
