discord-bots

[final iron]

What's the use-case for this?

I don't really understand how it could be useful tbh

Why would you want the bot token then?

[quick brook]

??????

[final iron]

what

So you want to send the message from the bot account that the token is associated with?

[quick brook]

sounds like commands to me

[whole ocean]

i don’t think so, i think he just made a typo lol

[quick brook]

doubt

like for example, ?help

then what do you want?

so basically on_message and just check for hello

[turbid condor]

Then what would a command do?

[final iron]

Then you wouldn't need the bot token, or guild ID

[whole ocean]

he just wants to bot to print it out in the channel when he runs the script

i understand it’s not practical either but he’s just learning ofc

[final iron]

Yes, but I don't see why he would need a token as an arg for that

[whole ocean]

you need a bot token for discord

[final iron]

Yes, but you don't need to include it as an arg

[turbid condor]

But not as an arg

[whole ocean]

yep

didn’t see that

[turbid condor]

It's only needed in run()

[whole ocean]

don’t forget your .env

[slate swan]

is anyone making discord bots now? 💀

[turbid condor]

yeah trying to go against ToS

[slate swan]

wdym

[turbid condor]

welp music

[slate swan]

aah right

but making bots isn't against tos

before there were like 10 people active in this channel

[turbid condor]

a music bot is against yt tos

spotify

and discord too

[slate swan]

wth

discord too

[turbid condor]

yeah

[slate swan]

ig there are all kinds of bots now

and everything is just ai now so

[turbid condor]

welp there are loopholes

[slate swan]

ig it wasn't defined

[harsh orbit]

nope

[vale wing]

Yes bobux bot is in active stage of development!

And promotional campaign

I accidentally broke voting rewards and they didn't work for a week so I had to make apology video

[glad cradle]

🥶

[topaz steppe]

how I can change bot name & photo nfrom the project?

[rugged shadow]

hai shrey

[mighty pilot]

Until they can cover every bots functions with built in versions like they are moderation tools right now, people will be making bots.

[buoyant quail]

There are moderation tools by discord, but people still make moderation bots

So just always :p

[mighty pilot]

Yea ik, discords mod tools still don't cover as much as some bots

[naive briar]

Like?

[turbid condor]

Idk about that but i found the discord in built moderation system better

[hallow kernel]

Why we have #discord-bots and not #telegram-bots ?

[turbid condor]

Uhh....

Cuz they not as popular discord bots?

[brazen raft]

Because this isn't Telegram

And that too probably

[buoyant quail]

#whatsapp-bots

lol

[nova vessel]

Having issues with my bot not sending a DM and setting the user's nickname, any help would be appreciated, if you need further information, please let me know.

https://pastebin.com/zU3XKUXd

[turbid condor]

Can u tell us the error you are getting

[nova vessel]

I am not getting any errors at all, it just doesn't set the nickname or send the user the message congratulating them on completing their application.

I am thinking it something to do with how I am defining the user but I am not to sure.

[mighty pilot]

well i was going to say invite links but i guess you can do that with keyword matching and regex

[naive briar]

Where or what command is having a problem?

[turbid condor]

Is it the enlisted command?

And that's one hella code

Oh and one more thing use an async lib for db

As a synchronous lib can cause blocking

[mighty pilot]

is it sending the one at the beginning before sending the embed

[nova vessel]

I believe it is where handle_accept_application function is

[nova vessel]

I tried running it through ChatGPT4 to see if it could find the error but it couldn't

I should've really put in try statements and implemented better error handling, would've made it alot easier but this is more of a side project and just for a bit a fun

[slate swan]

#makeerrorhandlinganorm

[nova vessel]

I know I know lol

[mighty pilot]

can you discord.utils.get a list of roles?

[nova vessel]

I am still learning Python so almost everything I do, I am way out of my depth but I feel it's a lot more fun

[slate swan]

understandabler

[nova vessel]

I think so?

[turbid condor]

Try using print statement after every line

[nova vessel]

With try statements?

[mighty pilot]

i dont think it takes a list object, thats probably why its not assigning any roles, your get is returning None

[turbid condor]

No without try except

[nova vessel]

Oh, but then why would me sending the message not work?

[turbid condor]

We are just checking to see till where your code is executed

[nova vessel]

Okay, so just literally print("Done")?

Is there a quick way to do that?

[naive briar]

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, /, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.utils.find).

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

Changed in version 2.0: The `iterable` parameter is now positional-only.

Changed in version 2.0: The `iterable` parameter supports [asynchronous iterable](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterable)s...

[slate swan]

this works

try:
  blah blah blah
  print("successful")
except:
  print("error here")```

[naive briar]

It takes any iterable, so it can take list objects

[slate swan]

in its most basic form

[mighty pilot]

hmmm ok

[nova vessel]

Okay, so what could I use instead then?

[naive briar]

Instead of what?

[nova vessel]

I can do either but I got 2 people telling me to do different lol

[turbid condor]

Which ever you feel easier

[nova vessel]

Well, I need to get the roles to assign the member

[turbid condor]

But both are doing samething

[naive briar]

What's the problem with the discord.utils.get? Because I see none

[slate swan]

its all preference but i personally have a print in both cases

[nova vessel]

I thought it won't work when getting roles from the server?

[turbid condor]

We won't know the issue unless he debugs it

[mighty pilot]

i just didnt know if it took a list or not

[naive briar]

Why would that be? The only problem I'm seeing is that you're trying to check if the id attribute of the role objects is a list, which will never be true

[naive briar]

Are you talking about the iterable or *attrs argument?

[mighty pilot]

staff_role = discord.utils.get(user.roles, id=staff_role_id) his staff_role_id is a list

[nova vessel]

So what would I change it too?

[nova vessel]

That is true

[naive briar]

That's valid 🤷

[mighty pilot]

that was my only question about it, i didnt know it took a list

[naive briar]

It can take anything

[mighty pilot]

throw some print() statements around your code and see where it stops

[nova vessel]

Apparently there isn't any exeptions, it ran all of the code.

[naive briar]

Make it actually check if the roles' IDs is in the list instead of checking if their IDs are equal to a list?

        return

[naive briar]

Don't you want the role?

Because you're not getting one from that

[nova vessel]

Ah

[topaz steppe]

why no one answer me?

[nova vessel]

Damn I am struggling

    staff_role_id = [1147834535728402523, 1147834296778887221, 1147834091455139870, 1147991729790779556, 1147991646714208286, 1147990426603749442]

    elif has_staff_role:
        return

@naive briar This look right?

[hallow kernel]

Probably better to make staff_role_id a set, so checking if value in it will be O(1), and you named your temporal variable same way as list, it will overwrite it

[topaz steppe]

.....

[nova vessel]

I do not understand.

[hallow kernel]

Check documentation about any()

[naive briar]

No, you're still checking if the roles' IDs are equal to a list

[topaz steppe]

[hallow kernel]

bot.user.edit whats wrong

[mighty pilot]

!d discord.ClientUser.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ClientUser.edit

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

Edits the current profile of the client.

Note

To upload an avatar, a [bytes-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-bytes-like-object) must be passed in that represents the image being uploaded. If this is done through a file then the file must be opened via `open('some_filename', 'rb')` and the [bytes-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-bytes-like-object) is given through the use of `fp.read()`.

The only image formats supported for uploading is JPEG and PNG.

Changed in version 2.0: The edit is no longer in-place, instead the newly edited client user is returned...

[hallow kernel]

!d any

[unkempt canyon]

any

any(iterable)```
Return `True` if any element of the *iterable* is true. If the iterable is empty, return `False`. Equivalent to:

```py
def any(iterable):
    for element in iterable:
        if element:
            return True
    return False

[turbid condor]

magic?

[hallow kernel]

Time travel is not magic it is science

[turbid condor]

they are not going back in time tho

they are just trying to add reaction to something that doesn't exist

[hallow kernel]

Because magic exists

[hallow kernel]

Null ref

[turbid condor]

always hated the pointers

[hallow kernel]

Imagine those reaction appear in log of deleted messages?

[buoyant quail]

In the accounts with self bots that save deleted messages

[hallow kernel]

Idk, python is all references

They become strange when mixed with variables

" What is variable??? "
That is the question that i got when trying C

[turbid condor]

Welp i still hate pointers

sometimes u need to * with them sometime not like wth

[slate swan]

i need a very smart and fast individual to help me with finishing a very beneficial discord bot for a big project im working on for a server. i currently have a friend that is very experienced with coding and we have got a good amount of the coding done but i would like to get someone else that can help speed up the process. the bot is meant to track messages and VC hours and convert them into points then have leaderboard ranking system. seperate channels with automatic refreshing embed leaderboards of the top 10 people in the server with the highest points for alltime, monthly, weekly & daily. what has been done so far is the .stats command which is meant to provide basic information on an individuals stats in the server, but we have not been able to fully finish this to begin on the leaderboard coding. i need someone that can help with tracking VC hours (time spent in any voice call) and display that time on the stats command and convert it into points (1 second = 1 point by default, if the user is boosting it is 2x points per second) 1 message in chat = 1 point. (double for boosting) below is a screenshot of the current embed displayed when the command is used. please hit me up if you can work with me, i am willing to provide a big reward on your end considering this will help my new server a lot. i can make huge active servers

i also have created all of the embeds that i want to use, including the ones for the leaderboards. just need someone to help with the coding of stuff. if you are able to continue from the current code we have now that would be great

[turbid condor]

distributing the points by 1 sec might cause you to run into ratelimits

[naive briar]

What?

[turbid condor]

like if bot is checking every second who is active in vc wouldn't that cause ratelimit issues

considering it is also counting message sent count and other stuff

[naive briar]

Just don't? You can just use the on voice update events and keep track with a dict or something

[turbid condor]

yeah that was what i gonna suggest

that it keeps track of total seconds spent in the vc and when user leaves the vc it then allocates the point or allocates em at a fix time like after every hour or day

[restive dagger]

Do non slash commands still work?

using discord.ext

[slate swan]

yes

but can anyone help me with slash commands in discord.py i dont understand how they work

[supple pagoda]

so why did discord.py get so popular?

vs the other python libraries?

[slate swan]

blud was using pep 9001 style guide

[mighty pilot]

Never looked at it in my life

[slate swan]

https://peps.pythondiscord.com/pep-9001/

[sick birch]

It's always been popular

[mighty pilot]

Looks like all the examples I learned from lol

[sick birch]

I think it's simply the oldest one with the most people using it

[mighty pilot]

AFAIK they all accomplish the same, just personal preference

[slate swan]

the only reason discord.py is seen as "main" library for discord bots is cause other popular libs are forks of it

[mighty pilot]

The spaces portion in this cracks me up

[velvet compass]

There isn’t a single programmer alive at this point who isn’t using an ultra-wide monitor. To accommodate these extremely wide monitors, all lines must now be at least 120 characters long, and no longer than 240 characters.

[slate swan]

simple as that

im also fan of unimport keyword

[mighty pilot]

Also like 90% of the formatting in that was courtesy of vscode

Running my stuff in a vm so I had that terminal running alongside vscode and retyped it

[nova vessel]

For some reason and I am not lying it doesn't delete the message 💀

[slate swan]

Can someone share a simple code for discord bot using cogs in it

[buoyant quail]

From the fact it says "Unknown message" i believe it does
Also it can't just don't delete without any errors and continue executing

[slate swan]

The docs already has that

[buoyant quail]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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

class Cog(commands.Cog): ...

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
    await bot.add_cog(Cog())

bot.run(TOKEN)

[hushed galleon]

well, they explain cogs and extensions separately which makes it a bit confusing on how they're combined in conventional code

[slate swan]

yea

[hushed galleon]

almost bare minimum of cogs+extensions: ```py

cogs/my_cog.py

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
def init(self, bot):
self.bot = bot

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

main.py

bot = commands.Bot(...)

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
await bot.load_extension("cogs.my_cog")

bot.run(...)```

[slate swan]

thanks

[slate swan]

thanks

in simple terms Cog is a class that is a subclass of commands.Cog class while extension is a file that contains setup function in it

I just needed help on how to load up the cogs and stuff some codes doesn't even use the asyncio functionality so it was a bit confusing.

[slate swan]

Extension 'cogs.greetings' raised an error: TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

I'm getting this error now when loading up the bot

[buoyant quail]

You did ```py
await None

somewhere it seems

show code

[hushed galleon]

usually means you forgot to add async in front of def setup():

[slate swan]

https://pastecode.io/s/pwx25fp8

[slate swan]

this is the main file

[buoyant quail]

it's not here

[slate swan]

it's in the link

[buoyant quail]

The error is inside the cogs.greetings

[slate swan]

i created a folder cogs

and put greetings.py in it

[buoyant quail]

what's in that file

[slate swan]

I'll share it wait

https://pastecode.io/s/b2rexgd8

here

[buoyant quail]

guessed :p

[slate swan]

oh inside the cogs file

oh ok thanks

[buoyant quail]

and add_cog should be awaited

[slate swan]

ok brother tysm

[tall temple]

command's not working :/

[mighty pilot]

Did you interaction.response

[tall temple]

why that ??

[sick birch]

You actually need to respond to interactions

[buoyant quail]

Slash commands always should be responded in some way. You didn't respond anything

[mighty pilot]

If you don't respond to an interaction it'll fail. Or you can defer the interaction

[buoyant quail]

Ye, all interactions, not just commands

[tall temple]

like that ? 😅

[buoyant quail]

Maybe
What library is that

[tall temple]

pycord

[mighty pilot]

I'm not familiar with that one

[tall temple]

but as i know it doesn't require any response ://

[mighty pilot]

Interactions require responses

[buoyant quail]

Any interaction reqiures response
Command, button, user command, anything

[tall temple]

ok but how in that case ??

[buoyant quail]

Ye, it has respond method so that should work

[tall temple]

huh

[mighty pilot]

It looks like you're never actually sending the enable/disable for the user to click

[buoyant quail]

Or you send disable and there you don't have some response

[tall temple]

nah i selected enable :/

[mighty pilot]

Oh

[mighty pilot]

Oh I see

Does it print your dict?

[tall temple]

no that's why i'm confused 😅

[mighty pilot]

Then it's failing somewhere before your print

[buoyant quail]

Check what's inside choice

print(type(choice), choice)

[tall temple]

okay okay

wtff

it doesn't print anything

[nova vessel]

Everything else is fixed however, when it comes to handle_accept_application, the bot doesn't add roles or change their nickname correctly.

https://pastebin.com/3ixbgJyL

[buoyant quail]

And you don't have any errors?

[tall temple]

no error occurs dude

[buoyant quail]

Do you have error handlers?
Things like raidmode.error, cog_command_error, on_application_command_error

[tall temple]

nah dude

nothing occurs 💀

[buoyant quail]

idk then
pycord dark magic

[mighty pilot]

Take out the "enable/disable" in your discord.Option and go straight to choices

[final iron]

pycords slash command implementation makes me want to burn my computer

[mighty pilot]

Pycord docs don't show that bit In the examples

It also shows this instead of just ctx
ctx: discord.ApplicationContext

[tall temple]

bruh wtf i removed the choices to make the user able to type but it still require to select a choice

i restarted discord but the problem still the same 💀

[mighty pilot]

bot.slash_command(name="animal")
async def animal_command(
  ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
  animal_type: discord.Option(str, choices=['Marine', 'Land']),
  animal: discord.Option(str, autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(get_animal_types))
):
  await ctx.respond(f'You picked an animal type of `{animal_type}` that led you to pick `{animal}`!')```

This is the example from the documents. It should looks similar

[buoyant quail]

discord.Option has it. It's description https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.Option

[mighty pilot]

Ah

Pycord looks frustrating to me lol

[tall temple]

but i think there is a certain problem because the script is different to what the bot executes idk

[mighty pilot]

Bot only does what you tell it to

[tall temple]

i removed the choices but the bot still give choices

[tall temple]

i mean there is a bug with the api or idk

i'm confused rn

[mighty pilot]

So you changed it to choice : str

[tall temple]

yup

[mighty pilot]

It's giving you options because options are still there lol if you want to type, make it choice : str

Instead of discord.Option(xxxx)

[tall temple]

huh dude i always use this syntax for choices or not and it's working

[mighty pilot]

Or maybe discord.Option(str)? Idk pycord is beyond me. I'm just trying to absorb info from the docs rn

[upbeat mason]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user.name} with the ID of {bot.user.id}')

    presence_list = ["1", "2", "3"]

    async def change_presence():
        while True:
            presence = random.choice(presence_list)
            await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=presence))
            await asyncio.sleep(10)

    bot.loop.create_task(change_presence())
    await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle)

bot isn't going on idle, any ideas?

[buoyant quail]

I guess what he has is already correct. Only with choices arg it will give choices

[buoyant quail]

I guess you just immediatly change it to listening
to online*

[mighty pilot]

pycord voodoo. I gotta head out anyways

[upbeat mason]

idrk what to do though

i mean i know its probably cause of the loop but where else can i place it

aren't going to make a command for it lol

[buoyant quail]

pass status in the change_presence inside the loop

[upbeat mason]

i just did

still doesnt

[buoyant quail]

In one change

In first you set status to idle

and in second you set it back to online

because it's the default one

[upbeat mason]

so i should set it after?

[buoyant quail]

together

in one function call

[upbeat mason]

yeah i just did that i gotta wait for bot to update

await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=presence), status=discord.Status.idle)

still not changing i think

nope

[buoyant quail]

should work
did you keep some other change_presence?

[upbeat mason]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user.name} with the ID of {bot.user.id}')

    presence_list = ["ds", "d", "s"]

    async def change_presence():
        while True:
            presence = random.choice(presence_list)
            await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle)
            await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=presence), status=discord.Status.idle)
            await asyncio.sleep(10)

    bot.loop.create_task(change_presence())

thats all i have to do with change presence but i'll check

yeah it is

oh crap it just changed

i guess the one function call did work, just had to wait for it to update

only issue is now, if i ever want to change the status in some command for whatever reason i wont really be able to but thanks

[mighty pilot]

You can, just put that code into a command and take some input on what to change it to

[upbeat mason]

true

[final iron]

Don't do shit in on_ready

[slate swan]

If you want something to be looped infinite create a task

[upbeat mason]

i have

bot.loop.create_task(change_presence())

[normal harbor]

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord'

[final iron]

Are you using a venv?

[normal harbor]

I don't know

[final iron]

Did you create one?

[quick brook]

pycord?

[slate swan]

I mean the one that discord offers

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True, name=None)```

[upbeat mason]

oh alr

[clear lark]

Using discord.py is it possible to have embeds with integrated buttons? Using a server invite as an example, but I'm not trying to mimic its design to be clear, I just want the embed to have the button in the box with it rather than below

[slate swan]

nope you cant

[clear lark]

Damn thats unfortunate, thanks for the response

[wicked atlas]

I can totally imagine the new scams that would pop up if that was possible

[final iron]

Does anyone have any examples on how to create dropdown menus?

Also, this might be a longshot but does dpy have a converter to convert a countries name to it's flag?

[sick birch]

no

that is completely out of scope

[final iron]

meh

worth a shot

would've saved me some work

[sick birch]

true enough

[pallid meadow]

I have an example with disnake iirc it should be exactly the same as discord.py

One sec

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/select/dropdown.py

[final iron]

Will emojis work in embed titles?

[pallid meadow]

Double check the discord.py repo examples though they might have something

[pallid meadow]

Might only be Unicode emojis that work

[sick birch]

yeah it is the same
||i PR'd the dropdown example ||

[pallid meadow]

lol nice

[final iron]

now I gotta paginate this embed

[mighty pilot]

I plan on doing a drop down menu example next for the #1051603408597024828 section

Covered modals pretty well imo

And yes you can most definitely have emoji in embed titles. Footers don't allow anything fun though

[hushed galleon]

i have this embed pinned in my dev server whenever i forget

[final iron]

drop downs are pretty easy

[mighty pilot]

Yea I'm probably going to mix it in with a giveaway bot that doesn't require a database and has weighted entries based on roles

[final iron]

How are you going to create a giveaway bot without a database?

[mighty pilot]

Already done

[final iron]

How are you storing the data

[hushed galleon]

i did a similar thing with your guide too when i was writing my quiz system, except i used the message content to present a single question and then gave either a select menu or a modal with a single input to receive the answer

[mighty pilot]

The one I currently have made is just a reaction count, but the updated version will use buttons and store the users in the embed

Probably have a dict or something idk. I'll figure it out

[final iron]

What if the code restarts?

[mighty pilot]

Shouldn't randomly restart, but that's why I currently have it set to look at reactions after a timer. And I made a reroll command that will check the message as well

[unkempt canyon]

[karmic shore]

Guys on the Internet it tells me I can get a Reaction emoji with reaction.emoji but It keeps saying "tuple has no attribute emoji"

On a reacted message

reaction, user = await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check=check)
await ctx.send(reaction)
if str(reaction.emoji) == "➕":

Thats when it Just stops and gives me this error

(<Reaction emoji='heavy_plus_sign' me=True count=2>, <Member id=1017915595083231283 name='heromaex' global_name='heromaex' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=1148733192510128188 name="heromaex's server" shard_id=0 chunked=True member_count=3>>) Is what it gives me

Ok wow now that I have it in plain sight it makes sense

Thanks haha, solved it

[final iron]

How do I disable a dropdown menu after a certain amount of time?

Or, would it be better just to sleep the command, then remove it entirely

[hushed galleon]

is it based on the view timeout or just an arbitrary time?

if its the former, you can store your message/interaction in the view and edit it during on_timeout()

[final iron]

Arbitrary I guess

I don't want the resource use I guess

How long is the timeout?

[hushed galleon]

its however long you want it to be

[final iron]

Also, how would I update the embed when the user selects an option in the dropdown?

discord.InteractionResponse.edit_message?

[hushed galleon]

yup

[final iron]

Alright

In the callback, how do I see which option was pressed?

[hushed galleon]

the Select.values attribute will give you a list of the option values chosen

[final iron]

I see that

Also, one of the options should edit the embed back to it's original state, how would I get the original message?

Should I take it as a value in the __init__, and pass it when I initialize the class in the command

Or is there a method/attr that returns the original message

[hushed galleon]

passing the embed at the start sounds reasonable

[shrewd apex]

u can get the interaction response but if it has been edited it wont give the original

[final iron]

Yeah I'll just pass it then

[shrewd apex]

u can store the original message as an attribute

[hushed galleon]

^ though dpy doesnt really document which message objects are cached (which will change with edit events)

[zinc mist]

@hushed galleon have a favor to ask real quick if you wanna check your dm

[hushed galleon]

err id rather just answer questions here

[zinc mist]

yea i get that, i honestly just dont know wtf im doing and theres passwords and information stuff in my code and im pingponging between the code and chatgpt to try to fix it, im just trying to figure out why its not posting to discord

i can tell you rate limits, webhooks, and proxies are fine. and any ai is like no youre good should be posting

[final iron]

This seem reasonable enough?

class ShippingLineDropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, sorted_lines: dict[str, list[float, float]], original_embed: discord.Embed) -> None:
        self.original_embed = original_embed
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label="All Lines")]
        for value in sorted_lines.keys():
            options.append(discord.SelectOption(label=value))
        super().__init__(placeholder="Select a shipping line for more information", options=options)

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        if self.values[0] == "All Lines":
            await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=self.original_embed)
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"Placeholder")

dis be pissing me off fr

My whole code is kinda cursed

Before I release for beta testing I'm going to move everything into cogs and utils files

Everything is in 1 file rn

[hushed galleon]

yeah that looks about right

[gray junco]

How do i do options on slash command discordpy? Can someone show me an example

[turbid condor]

dropdown or choices?

[quick brook]

i will assume args options

[quick brook]

but you are going to have to explain which one you want. dropdowns/selects, or arg choices

[wispy pasture]

just a quick question.... is this still valid:

https://gist.github.com/InterStella0/454cc51e05e60e63b81ea2e8490ef140

[quick brook]

discord-ext-menus exists

[shrewd apex]

yeah this tutorial is for that

[quick brook]

yep

[shrewd apex]

discord-ext-menus u can use it

[quick brook]

oh yes and that's what i primary use

[shrewd apex]

i just make my own

[quick brook]

works with buttons as well. although you just have to create a paginator view

[wispy pasture]

https://pypi.org/project/discord-ext-menus/

there is no desc regarding on how to use it?

[shrewd apex]

i have my view subclassed

Hi, for a few days now I've been getting this error even though I haven't changed my code. Do you know why?

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

[buoyant quail]

For example if you are trying to respond to interaction when it's already expired

async def foo(interaction):
    await asyncio.sleep(5)
    await interaction.response.send_message('123')

would give this error

show code

[wispy pasture]

when the button works is getting this normal?

[turbid condor]

try defering it

[quartz viper]

@app_commands.command(name="minecraft",description="Choose a minecraft server to manage") 
    async def minecraftserver(self, interaction : discord.Integration):
    [code but no discord interaction]
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=view) #crash here
    ...

[turbid condor]

welp it seems the code within block takes more than 3 sec to execute

[buoyant quail]

You should respond to any interaction. Otherwise discord thinks that it failed

[mighty pilot]

Either respond to it or defer the interaction response

[buoyant quail]

: discord.Integration
it's Interaction btw

[quartz viper]

No, because if I replace by await interaction.channel.send(.....) it's instant

[mighty pilot]

Because that's not an interaction response

That's sending a seperate message into the same channel as interaction

[turbid condor]

as cereal said

thats the case

[mighty pilot]

You could either move the response earlier or defer it and send it later, it'll just say the bot is thinking for a second before sending the response

!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]

after this you will need to use followup to send the embed

[quartz viper]

Okay, so I use defer and followup instead and it works but I don't understand why it stopped working when it used to work so well.

[buoyant quail]

You have some code that works different time depending on situation
For example sending requests

[quartz viper]

yes, ty

[wispy pasture]

alrighty thanks

[cyan jolt]

How do i make a working slash command in discord.py? i found online on "Stack Overflow" a way but it didnt work, can someone help?

[plucky sun]

My bot command doesn't want to work, this is what comes out:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: command "generate_licanse" is not found```

And I'm typing the command correctly.

My code is:

    characters = string.ascii_letters + string.digits
    key = ''.join(random.choice(characters) for _ in range(32))
    return key

# Функция за запазване на ключа в базата данни
def save_license_key(key):
    conn = sqlite3.connect(db_file)
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    cursor.execute("INSERT INTO licenses (key) VALUES (?)", (key,))
    conn.commit()
    conn.close()

# Команда за бота
@bot.command()
async def generate_license(ctx, number: int, role: discord.Role):
    if number <= 0:
        await ctx.send("Моля, въведете валиден брой ключове (положително число).")
        return

    for _ in range(number):
        key = generate_license_key()
        save_license_key(key)
        await ctx.send(f"Създаден лицензен ключ: `{key}` за роля {role.mention}.")```

[buoyant quail]

You have generate_license but you are trying to call generate_licanse

And I'm typing the command correctly.
no?

[turbid condor]

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

Here u go this contains almost all info u need regarding app_commands(slash commands)

[cyan jolt]

thx man!

i did it, i am the best developer in the world

[gray junco]

Can someone send me a example of using autocomplete in discordpy please i didnt learn nothing from the doc

[buoyant quail]

interaction.message exists only if interaction was got from message, for example dropdown or button.
so in slash command it is None

[buoyant quail]

doc has the example :/

!d discord.app_commands.autocomplete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.autocomplete

@discord.app_commands.autocomplete(**parameters)```
Associates the given parameters with the given autocomplete callback.

Autocomplete is only supported on types that have [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int), or [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float) values.

[`Checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check) are supported, however they must be attached to the autocomplete callback in order to work. Checks attached to the command are ignored when invoking the autocomplete callback.

For more information, see the [`Command.autocomplete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command.autocomplete) documentation.

Warning

The choices returned from this coroutine are suggestions. The user may ignore them and input their own value...

[gray junco]

Oh ok but i dont understand that explanation

[buoyant quail]

?

[turbid condor]

I find use Enums easier

[buoyant quail]

i don't see something about them in dpy docs

how are they used?

i guess you are talking about choices

because it'd be strange to do something dynamic with enums

[turbid condor]

Aren't they pretty similar to auto complete

[buoyant quail]

autocomplete can change to anything while you are typing the value

and choices are always the same

[turbid condor]

Hmm i see

I thought they had same functionality

I might need to experiment with them later to get a better understanding

[final iron]

It's pretty simple

current is the current string the user typed in

The function then loops over fruits, and if current is in fruit it returns a value

[wispy pasture]

so this is my code:
https://srcb.in/XrYfydEjM4

and i need to either differ the interaction response or just respond to it... but for some reason i cant figure out how

[final iron]

You already got an answer

[naive briar]

You don't know how to respond to an interaction?

[final iron]

What was wrong with the answer you were given

[wispy pasture]

i do know i have done it many times.... but for this part specifically i am confused for some reason

[buoyant quail]

also why are you getting member by string instead of just getting the member?
if you typehint it as Member library will do the work for you

[naive briar]

About what?

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.defer

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

Defers the interaction based contexts.

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

If this isn’t an interaction based context then it does nothing.

[wispy pasture]

wdym?

[buoyant quail]

member: discord.Member

and you will get a Member object or NotFound error

[final iron]

If you typehint member as Member discord.py will automatically convert it

[buoyant quail]

• in slash command you will get a list of members to select or something like that

[wispy pasture]

ie.... okay yeah thats a approach...

[gray junco]

Does someone know how to do this

[buoyant quail]

defer the interaction with thinking=True

!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...

[buoyant quail]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

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

Edits the original interaction response message.

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

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

[final iron]

It’s been like that for a while

[final iron]

Would it be possible to use this in a select callback?

[buoyant quail]

For editing response - sure

[final iron]

Cool, that solves my problem then

    if reason is None:
        return await ctx.send("Please provide a reason to ban this user.")

    else:
        server = client.get_guild(id=1148073800374693908)
        
        channel = server.get_channel(id=1149013490523189359)

!d discord.ext.commands.has_any_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_any\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_any_role(*items)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check) that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has **any** of the roles specified. This means that if they have one out of the three roles specified, then this check will return `True`.

Similar to [`has_role()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role), the names or IDs passed in must be exact.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole) if the user is missing all roles, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage) if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure).

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole) or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage) instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure)

[restive dagger]

my discord bot gives error at : in this line invalid syntax
if i add @client.event,
everything looks properly indented

if __name__ == "__main__":

[quick brook]

What you haven't completed the if statement

Also

[restive dagger]

It is

[quick brook]

!paste

[restive dagger]

Completed

[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 Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[quick brook]

Paste your code and error to https://paste.pythondiscord.com and link it back here

[restive dagger]

Ok https://paste.pythondiscord.com/HHFA

[slate swan]

indentation doesnt look proper

[restive dagger]

k

[slate swan]

most time you use 4 spaces

but on the last line you use 1?

[restive dagger]

ah k in my editor is hard to see unless pasted

[slate swan]

what editor is that then

[quick brook]

Idk what editor it is bc it should have been throwing warnings about it

[buoyant quail]

The problem is not indentation though

[slate swan]

and not gonna lie looks like you are missing few intermediate topics like OOP and decorators

[buoyant quail]

Line 38 unclosed

And @client.commands wrong decorator. It's not even decorator

[quick brook]

@commands.commands

[slate swan]

cause you have random lines like py member = discord.Member or ```py
@client.commands

so i suggest looking up Python OOP learning it then coming back to this project

also prolly worth changing text editor too

[glad cradle]

maybe the latter is a feature request 😼

[slate swan]

not a feature now :/

[buoyant quail]

Feature request:
Make any code work as programmer wants to

[restive dagger]

thats still not the problem

[buoyant quail]

^ ?

[restive dagger]

nor that

[buoyant quail]

What's the new error
It would fix at least the syntaxerror

[restive dagger]

no wait i tested it wrong line 38 was the problem

[nova vessel]

Getting this error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

It is orginating in the bot command: manage inside of the transfer option.

[slate swan]

you didnt provide full traceback so i cant tell you on what line it happens but somewhere in your code you are trying to access id on None

[quick brook]

I would be very interested why you are using the blocking stdlib SQLite library for your bot

Just use asqlite or aiosqlite

[nova vessel]

No idea how to use them, what is the difference.

[slate swan]

!d aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

NEGATORY.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

!pypi aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.19.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[nova vessel]

I have an exception put down, would it help if I removed that to get the full traceback?

[nova vessel]

I will take a look.

[slate swan]

yes full traceback will be helpful to locate issue

[nova vessel]

Okay, I will get that for you

It wil be somewhere around those lines as I removed the try statement.

[slate swan]

yeah so

this line currentDivision = discord.utils.get(server.roles, name=currentDivisionProcess) returned None (didnt find the role)

and then else you passed it to .remove_roles() method

it tried accessing .id attribute and failed cause its None

[nova vessel]

Ah, okay

I’m not sure why that is

[slate swan]

also i see you are repeating code a bit here

[nova vessel]

I know

[slate swan]

lines 481 - 492

[nova vessel]

Just getting the hang of everything still

What’s the best way to implement error handling and logging?

[slate swan]

just to give you example how to shorten code ```py
if rAB == "Private":
rAB = "PVT"
elif rAB == "Private First Class":
rAB = "PFC"
elif rAB == "Lance Corporal":
rAB = "LCPL"
elif rAB == "Corporal":
rAB = "CPL"
elif rAB == "Sergeant":
rAB = "SGT"
elif rAB == "Company Sergeant Major":
rAB = "CSGT"
else:
await ctx.author.send("Rank cannot be defined.")
rAB = "OPEN"

can be shorten to this ```py
mapping = {"Private": "PVT", "Private First Class": "PFC", ...}

rAB = mapping.get(rAB)

if not rAB:
    await ctx.author.send("Rank cannot be defined.")
    rAB = "OPEN"

i guess its easier to expand it further on 👍

[nova vessel]

Thank you, I’ll keep that in consideration when I am scrubbing it down a bit

[slate swan]

sure 👍

[smoky patrol]

someone in here knows much stuff about discord.py and discord rate limits for fetching users

Im fetching every user id excluded its a dm autopinger

[quick brook]

What's the purpose of it

[smoky patrol]

A dm autopinger if a keyword is found

[quick brook]

You should not make fetch user requests, but instead use the cache

[quick brook]

So basically a dm version of highlight

[smoky patrol]

But only to dm the users that have the keyword set I don’t know how to explain

[quick brook]

Just why

[smoky patrol]

It’s a project

No scam btw haha

[quick brook]

Tbh that type of stuff is extremely annoying. All bots that just dm and auto ping with no actual purpose are just annoying

[quick brook]

I will assume it is a scam

[smoky patrol]

No

[quick brook]

And it sounds like a scam

[smoky patrol]

The user can set there own keywords

You don’t understand it I think

[quick brook]

Anyways just use the get_user coros. They always look up the cache, which prevents rate limiting

[smoky patrol]

I get no response if I’m using that

I already tried

[slate swan]

there are not coros thats the point

[quick brook]

Then probably methods

[quick brook]

Gl I'm not helping with a sus bot

[smoky patrol]

💀

WTF

Why is it sus

[mighty pilot]

Sus because you're getting rate limited fetching users

[smoky patrol]

Yeah I’m fetching 20 users

Cause 20 users have the keyword set

[mighty pilot]

I assume you have their ID stored why not just ping them in a channel

<@USERID>

[smoky patrol]

That would be too easy

Want it to be special

But discord is trolling

[slate swan]

It does the exact same thing though

If you are only needing to ping them and you have the user ID, no need to get/fetch the user object

[mighty pilot]

If someone uses @ everyone but don't have permissions to ping everyone, would a bot detect it as a ping for moderation purposes?

[hushed galleon]

depends on how the bot checks that, if its with the discord-provided mention* fields then no, it wont be detected
https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#message-object

[mighty pilot]

Interesting

Just saw a raid attempt that wasn't stopped because either their bot didn't detect it or they just don't have anything set up

[mighty pilot]

Can I disable a button based on a custom ID or something?

Trying to set up tic tac toe in discord buttons. Opponent is a minimax, maximin, or random AI algorithm. I can return which space it's selecting but I want to be able to disable that button

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#list-guild-members

then just filter to ur liking

[mighty pilot]

Right now it's set such that I click button 1, sends that position to the ai, ai selects button 5, returns the number 5, and I'd like to disable button 5 before updating the view

[slate swan]

uh

[sick birch]

So you just want to disable a button once it's been clicked?

[mighty pilot]

No I want to disable a button from a seperate button. I click button 1, gives the AI position 1, the AI makes its decision to pick 5, gives the button back the number 5, I want to disable "btn5" before I send the interaction response in "btn1" so buttons 1 and 5 are both disabled

Am I just going to have to do if x == 5: self.btn5.disabled = True or is there an easier way

Unless I can call a button from a coro?

I guess it doesn't matter I'd still have to check what number it selects

Can't just insert the number into self.btnX.disabled

[final iron]

How should I go about disabling a select menu after a certain amount of time?

[main holly]

wait how do i make the / commands sync again

[quick brook]

timeout iirc

[quick brook]

https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2023/01/29/sync-command-example.html

arg?

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.

[quick brook]

np

you can only respond to an interaction once

via await interaction.edit_original_response()

you effectively have it twice in your code

[mighty pilot]

Alright, so I sort of found a solution to my problem. I made a seperate coro I can call from inside one button to disable whatever one the ai picks. However, I can't call that coro from inside the init of the button view. So if the ai makes the first move I can't call that to disable the button when the view is sent

Disregard, view children is the answer to all my problems.

[vale wing]

Give button a custom id and then do

for child in self.children:
    if child.custom_id == f"button_{i}":
        child.disabled = True
        break

Or could make a list and access the button by index

self.buttons[i].disabled = True

[buoyant quail]

or ```py
getattr(self, f"btn{X}")

[mighty pilot]

I got it working with just self.children[x-1].disabled = True

how do we send a local image as a embed thumbnail? in discord.py*

[buoyant quail]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-use-a-local-image-file-for-an-embed-image
same for thumbnail

[sharp whale]

I tried this:

embed = discord.Embed(title="Item Info",
                              description=f"Query: {item_name}",
                              color=discord.Color.green())
        
        embed.add_field(name="Name", value=Item_Name)
        embed.add_field(name="Display_Name", value=display_name)
        embed.add_field(name="StackSize", value=stackSize)
        file = discord.File(f"data/item/{Item_Name}.png")
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=f"attachment:data/item/{Item_Name}.png")```

[buoyant quail]

attachment://
you are missing //

• don't forget to send the file

[sharp whale]

:o

[sharp whale]

yes, but i dont get it, why we have to send the file as file

[buoyant quail]

because how will discord know what is that attachment if it doesn't exist in discord

[sharp whale]

embed = discord.Embed(title="Item Info",
                              description=f"Query: {item_name}",
                              color=discord.Color.green())
        
        embed.add_field(name="Name", value=Item_Name, inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Display_Name", value=display_name, inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="StackSize", value=stackSize, inline=False)
        file = discord.File(f"data/item/{Item_Name}.png")
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=f"attachment://data/item/{Item_Name}.png")
        
        
        await interaction.response.send_message(file=file, embed=embed)``` its not giving any errors but it doesn't show up on the thumbnail

[sharp whale]

:o

it just sends the image there

[buoyant quail]

Set the filename as the docs says
I am not sure if it gives the same name as filename

    Item_Name = "background"
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Item Info", color=discord.Color.green())
    embed.add_field(name="Name", value=Item_Name, inline=False)
    file = discord.File(f"{Item_Name}.jpg", filename="image.jpg")
    embed.set_thumbnail(url=f"attachment://image.jpg")
    await interaction.response.send_message(file=file, embed=embed)

[tepid dagger]

do slash commands have a default help command like command prefix

[sharp whale]

nope, not working

[sharp whale]

why would anyone need help command for slash commands

[buoyant quail]

No. For that just command list exist

[sharp whale]

as it already shows every commands in the command list

[buoyant quail]

Works on my machine

[sharp whale]

whats the lowest size a embed thumbnail can be

[tepid dagger]

if you loop through the commands can you get all of them

[sharp whale]

because my image is very small

[buoyant quail]

no idea

[naive briar]

There's no limit as far as I'm concerned

[tepid dagger]

if people are too lazy to check what commands are available

[buoyant quail]

sure

[sharp whale]

you can use the sync to get all the synced commands as a list

[tepid dagger]

how

[turbid condor]

Doesn't it get compressed and resized automatically

[sharp whale]

sync = await bot.tree.sync()
print(sync)

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.walk_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.walk\_commands

for ... in walk_commands(*, guild=None, type=<AppCommandType.chat_input: 1>)```
An iterator that recursively walks through all application commands and child commands from the tree.

[sharp whale]

ah idk

[turbid condor]

As far as i know when we upload an image it gets compressed(unless we do open in browser) so i think that might apply to thumbnail too

[sharp whale]

no like, the image is very small

it sends it as a file attachment and not in thumbnail

[tepid dagger]

are you sending it as a thumbnail?

[sharp whale]

yes

[tepid dagger]

did you try set_image

[sharp whale]

no

i don't want to set it to image

[naive briar]

Show your code

[sharp whale]

embed = discord.Embed(title="Item Info",
                                    description=f"Query: {item_name}",
                                    color=discord.Color.green())

            embed.add_field(name="Name", value=Item_Name, inline=False)
            embed.add_field(name="Display Name", value=display_name, inline=False)
            embed.add_field(name="Stack Size", value=stackSize, inline=False)
            file = discord.File(f"data/item/{Item_Name}.png", filename="image.png")
            embed.set_thumbnail(url=f"attachment://data/item/{Item_Name}.png")
            await interaction.response.send_message(file=file, embed=embed)```

[turbid condor]

Weird it should send it in embed

[tepid dagger]

don't send file idk im guessing

just the embed

[naive briar]

Remove the file path from the set_thumbnail

Keep just the image's name and extension

[sharp whale]

embed.set_thumbnail(url=f"attachment://image.png")```
like this?

[turbid condor]

Yeah try this

[naive briar]

Yes

[sharp whale]

works 👍

can we resize

[turbid condor]

Nope

[sharp whale]

the attachment

oka

[tepid dagger]

you can save it and change the size and re export

but that's a lot of work]

[turbid condor]

It might be possible in future updates

[naive briar]

Why would it be

[tepid dagger]

how do you define walk_commands

[turbid condor]

Tho u can resize the image using other lib like Pillow and then send it but that might cause a bit of a delay

[tepid dagger]

its faster to just save it and crop it urself i think

[turbid condor]

Yeah that's faster

But I'm talking if u want to retain the original file

[buoyant quail]

It's already defined. It's a method of the command tree

[tepid dagger]

for commands in walk_commands():
NameError: name 'walk_commands' is not defined

[naive briar]

It's a method

[tepid dagger]

client.walk_commands?

command_tree.walk_commands

[tepid dagger]

ok

[buoyant quail]

||he will try to use it on just class now||

[tepid dagger]

so like

and then tree.walk_commands

[naive briar]

If you define a new command tree that has no commands attached to it, no

[tepid dagger]

thats how i defined my tree

[buoyant quail]

then yes

[tepid dagger]

so the tree has all the commands

so it'll just loop through them

[sharp whale]

bot.tree.walk_commands

[sharp whale]

why not just get the synced commands through the bot.tree.sync() function, it returns a list of synced commands

[buoyant quail]

he is using just client

[sharp whale]

oh

[buoyant quail]

you can still get them from sync, but it's harder to save them

[tepid dagger]

what is just client

[buoyant quail]

why not to just get the commands when you need instead of making a global variable with them

[tepid dagger]

does the just mean anything

[wispy pasture]

this is my code:

pinned_messages = {}

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.pinned:
        pinned_messages[message.channel.id] = message

@bot.event
async def on_message_delete(message):
    if message.id in pinned_messages:
        log_channel = bot.get_channel(COMMAND_LOG_CHANNEL_ID)
        if log_channel:
            current_date = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%A, %B %d, %Y")
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title="Message Unpinned",
                description=f"A pinned message in {message.channel.mention} was deleted by {message.author.mention}.",
                color=discord.Color.red()
            )
            embed.set_footer(text=current_date)
            await log_channel.send(embed=embed)

@bot.event
async def on_guild_channel_pins_update(channel, last_pin):
    if last_pin:
        if channel.id in pinned_messages and pinned_messages[channel.id].id != last_pin.id:
            log_channel = bot.get_channel(COMMAND_LOG_CHANNEL_ID)
            if log_channel:
                current_date = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%A, %B %d, %Y")
                embed = discord.Embed(
                    title="Message Unpinned",
                    description=f"A pinned message in {channel.mention} was manually unpinned by {last_pin.author.mention}.",
                    color=discord.Color.red()
                )
                embed.set_footer(text=current_date)
                await log_channel.send(embed=embed)

            pinned_messages[channel.id] = last_pin

but when i pin or unpin a message it is not logging anything....

[buoyant quail]

there are discord.Client and discord.ext.commands.Bot

Bot is subclass of client and has some added functionality like pre made slash commands tree and prefix commands

[sharp whale]

vitness, is that a husky in your pfp

[tepid dagger]

is one better than the other

[naive briar]

Is on_guild_channel_pins_update even a real event

!d discord.on_guild_channel_pins_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on_guild_channel_pins_update(channel, last_pin)```
Called whenever a message is pinned or unpinned from a guild channel.

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

[buoyant quail]

Should be a wolf i believe

[naive briar]

[sharp whale]

oh

[wispy pasture]

[buoyant quail]

Add some debug
Check if function is called, if the if channel.id in pinned_messages and pinned_messages[channel.id].id != last_pin.id: works and so on..

I believe your pinned_messages is always empty (because when message is sent it is not pinned)

Also it's weird that your keys in pinned_messages are channel ids and then you are checking if message id is inside there

[tepid dagger]

how do you get the name of the command

    await interaction.followup.send(command.name)
```i did this but it didn't work, because of

**unknown webhook **
what's that mean

and how do i fix it

[wispy pasture]

i think that is what causing the issue

[tepid dagger]

should i not use followup

[buoyant quail]

Did you send a response before?
interaction.followup exists only after you sent some response

[tepid dagger]

oh

so interaction.response

then interaction.followup

[buoyant quail]

ye

actually most libraries implement methods that send response if it was not sent and otherwise send followup.. but it seems discord.py doesn't have such as always

[tepid dagger]

so you have to create a separate case for followup messages and the response

?

[buoyant quail]

yes
or you can make your own send that will check and choose the needed one

!d discord.InteractionResponse.is_done

like

async def my_send(interaction):
    if interaction.response.is_done():
        interaction.followup.send
    else:
        interaction.response.send_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.is\_done

is_done()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool): Indicates whether an interaction response has been done before.

An interaction can only be responded to once.

[tepid dagger]

is it because if you run a /command it'll give the response in the same "message" instead of like !command where it'll send the response as a separate message

[buoyant quail]

ye

that's how discord made that

[final iron]

That’s how slash commands were designed

[tepid dagger]

true

[next heath]

Hi can some one help me to make this unban command but its uset in a diffrent server

@client.command()
async def unban(ctx, Userid:discord.User, *, reason=None):

    server = client.get_guild(1148073800374693908)
    await server.guild.unban(Userid, reason=reason)
    
    await Userid.send(f"Memmber got Unbanned **User**: {Userid.mention} **UserId**: {Userid} **Reason**: {reason} unbanned by: {ctx.author.mention}")
    await Userid.send("You got unband on Rash Join her -------------------")

[slate swan]

Does anyone know any free websites where I can host my discord bot?

[jolly swallow]

Hello, I was updating a open-sourced discord bot, It asked me to code the intents but as soon I coded the intents, this error is what I got after debugging. Thank you in advance.

[slate swan]

!hosting

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

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

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

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

[slate swan]

Show the actual traceback

[jolly swallow]

this is the console.

[turbid condor]

welp the error says it all

read last line of error

[jolly swallow]

I don't know how to make it work actually. That's why i'm here, haha.

[turbid condor]

the first error says there is no loop that is currently running

and second says that the loop should be awaited

[slate swan]

my guess is that you made a sync function for a task

[naive briar]

You have to start the task while an event loop is running

If you're not using discord.py or other (if any) forks that have asynchronous extension and cog loading, you'd want to start the tasks in on_ready or similar events

[glad cradle]

the on_ready event could get called multiple times during the Bot life cycle so it would be better to start tasks in the setup_hook or in other functions where you're sure that gets called only once

[jolly swallow]

so, speaking of this https://github.com/kegri/SurvivalHouseMaster/blob/main/mcstatus_cog.py

there is something like "await asyncio.sleep(15)" on every loop. When I research, there is always something with await thing. I tried adding "loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()" in the beginning of file, no luck there either.

[naive briar]

I don't know much, but I don't think must forks have setup_hook

You can just check if the on_ready has been called once anyway

[glad cradle]

if you subclass the Bot class you can have something similar

calling your custom function in the start function and then doing await super().start()

[naive briar]

If not, just use the on_ready

[meager rock]

it's a cog so using cog_load to start the task and cog_unload to stop it is also an option

[naive briar]

Forgot those exist

[quick brook]

Pretty sure they have a form of it in one way or another

This is why you shouldn't be using the forks to begin with

Dpy already implements all of the latest features, and in pycord's case, you will have to rewrite your bot anyways, so why not migrate it back to dpy v2

[crude sparrow]

When I run the mute command, the bot is supposed to give the user the role that is saved on the db but when I run the code, everything looks like being good but no roles are given to the user

    await ctx.bot.rest.add_role_to_member(user=ctx.author, guild=ctx.guild_id, role=mute_role_id)
    await ctx.respond(f"Muted {ctx.options.user.mention}.", flags=hikari.MessageFlag.EPHEMERAL)
    await ctx.bot.rest.create_message(log_channel_id, embed=mute_embed)

https://api.doxbin.life/wxa3m0z2.png

[buoyant quail]

hikari

[quick brook]

hikari's design decisions are quite questionable

[meager rock]

just use timeouts, show the code you use to get mute_role_id

[meager rock]

it's just the user's bad code

[crude sparrow]

https://api.doxbin.life/ugp5yu5d.png

[meager rock]

you're adding the role to ctx.author, which is the person that used the command instead of the user who was provided in the argument

also guild user and role (in order) are not kwargs, so there's no need to provide them like that

ctx.bot.rest.add_role_to_member(ctx.guild_id, ctx.author.id, mute_role_id) ``` is enough for the callable

[hasty coral]

Making a command that sends information about a specified crypto currency.

[humble lily]

Any solution?

[buoyant quail]

What library is that?

If it's pycord, then you probably broken you installation. Uninstall all other libraries you have and install it again
If not, then there actually is no such attribute in all other forks as i remember

[slate swan]

its discord.ext.commands.Bot unless you are trying to use py-cord

[humble lily]

How do I solve it

@buoyant quail @slate swan

[slate swan]

are you trying to use pycord??

[buoyant quail]

If it's pycord - install it again. If not, Bot is located in discord.ext.commands and not in just discord. Use the correct one

[humble lily]

How do I install it?

[slate swan]

🤦

[buoyant quail]

You did it somehow already

pip install -U py-cord

maybe you would need to pip uninstall discord.py or anything else you have that uses name discord

[slate swan]

#discord-bots message

run this script

then run this commands

pip uninstall discord.py

pip install -U py-cord```

[slate swan]

so you are using discord.py?

[humble lily]

Ig

[slate swan]

then uninstall py-cord and install discord.py ..

[slate swan]

its discord.ext.commands.Bot

[humble lily]

How do I solve that

[buoyant quail]

[humble lily]

I am new to this, sorry

[slate swan]

discord bot is not a good project to learn python it requires many intermediate topics like OOP, decorators and async/await syntax knowledge so i advice you to learn basics before coming back to it

[humble lily]

I kind of know about the stuff

How to code the bot

Just getting stuck on this shit

[slate swan]

so you know such topics but you dont know how to install packages?

[humble lily]

Correct..

[slate swan]

nor you know how to change discord.Bot to discord.ext.commands.Bot?

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

And what do I do twith these

[fast robin]

i need help

My name is Benjamin

:v, i speak spanish

[slate swan]

firstly you need to read this

[fast robin]

i need help

[slate swan]

so ask the question?

[fast robin]

I want to send a file through the discord API using the requests module
files = {'file': ('data.txt', <_io.BufferedReader name='\files\1140884481671188581\data.txt'>)}
requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data, files=files)
print(files)
print(response.json())

But when I make the http request I get this
{'message': 'The request body contains invalid JSON.', 'code': 50109}

[buoyant quail]

1. What's inside data variable
2. Why files has a file object representation in it? That line will give just syntax error

!e

files = {'file': ('data.txt', <_io.BufferedReader name='\files\1140884481671188581\data.txt'>)}

[fast robin]

The problem is not with the json, the json is valid and if I don't send the file there is no problem

[unkempt canyon]

@buoyant quail :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

thats prolly representation of io.BytesIO

I don't really know
I don't use raw requests for discord api and i am not getting an error here

Are you running just that code or you have something more? Maybe something else is breaking it, try just that part

[fast robin]

I'm going to try right now

[fast robin]

The code works fine...

[desert kiln]

I need a list of all discord.Embed colors

I don't know what the valid colours are, I just need a green, or light green

[thin raft]

all colors are valid

[desert kiln]

what do I put for light green?

[thin raft]

im not a hex master

youd need to search what is the hex value for it

[desert kiln]

color=discord.Color()

[thin raft]

color = 0x00FF00

[desert kiln]

can I use that for embed colors?

[thin raft]

yeah

!d discord.Colour

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour

class discord.Colour(value)```
Represents a Discord role colour. This class is similar to a (red, green, blue) [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple).

There is an alias for this called Color...

[desert kiln]

I've been using the color names 💀

not hex value

!mcintent

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Message Content Intent

The Discord gateway only dispatches events you subscribe to, which you can configure by using "intents."

The message content intent is what determines if an app will receive the actual content of newly created messages. Without this intent, discord.py won't be able to detect prefix commands, so prefix commands won't respond.

Privileged intents, such as message content, have to be explicitly enabled from the Discord Developer Portal in addition to being enabled in the code:

intents = discord.Intents.default() # create a default Intents instance
intents.message_content = True # enable message content intents

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents) # actually pass it into the constructor

For more information on intents, see /tag intents. If prefix commands are still not working, see /tag on-message-event.

[undone aurora]

oh, how would this be implemented into the code?

[desert kiln]

Try This @undone aurora

import discord
from discord.ext import commands 
import asyncio
from discord import Activity, ActivityType
from datetime import datetime
from discord import ActionRow, Button, ButtonStyle
import random


intents = discord.Intents.all()

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


# ========== On Ready / Status ==========

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
        print(f'[+] Logged Into {bot.user}')
        await update_status()
async def update_status():
    while not bot.is_closed():
        server_count = len(bot.guilds)
        await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Streaming(name="Under Maintainance", url='https://twitch.tv/Vaypt_rz'))
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
  
    print(f'[+] Logged Into {bot.user.name}')
bot.start_time = datetime.now()

bot.run('TOKEN HERE')```

this is the code for running a bot, with no commands

[thin raft]

read it

[desert kiln]

@merry cliff why skull?

[undone aurora]

im not completely sure how to implement it

[thin raft]

there's literally a code snippet

[merry cliff]

isnt there an unspoken rule not to do API stuff in on_ready?

[thin raft]

not an unspoken rule

[desert kiln]

what you mean bru

[thin raft]

you do not do api stuff there, use setup_hook

[undone aurora]

ok

[merry cliff]

yeah that

[thin raft]

!d discord.on_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_ready

discord.on_ready()```
Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful and the [`Client.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.guilds) and co. are filled up.

Warning

This function is not guaranteed to be the first event called. Likewise, this function is **not** guaranteed to only be called once. This library implements reconnection logic and thus will end up calling this event whenever a RESUME request fails.

[desert kiln]

I don't get what I did wrong in my code

[merry cliff]

basically on_ready might be rapidly called in quick succession so there is a chance for the bot to be rate limited from API spam

it is recommended to instead use setup_hook

[desert kiln]

Idk how to use that 💀

and that explains why I get API limited as soon as my bot is ran

[merry cliff]

while not bot.is_closed(): might be the reason

[thin raft]

use tasks

[merry cliff]

instead of having it in on_ready that looks like something a task loop would do

[desert kiln]

that's effort

plus I ran it again and it didn't rate limit

[merry cliff]

💀

[desert kiln]

buttt, I do need help with bot = autoShardedBot

[final iron]

Why do you need that

[desert kiln]

im gonna be making my bot public for larger server count

and I figured it out

[final iron]

It's really not important until you're in like 150+ servers

[desert kiln]

I know

I'm just pre making the code now, so I don't have to make it later

[final iron]

The documentation is pretty straight forward

[desert kiln]

let me do what I want jeez

[final iron]

?

You're asking for help

[desert kiln]

in fine now

[final iron]

Alr, so you understand how to use AutoShardedBot

Cool

[desert kiln]

yes

👍🏻

[final iron]

It's just a subclass of Bot

Not sure how you didn't understand before lmao

[merry cliff]

isn't it literally the same usage as Bot

discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot

class discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
This is similar to [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot) except that it is inherited from [`discord.AutoShardedClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AutoShardedClient) instead.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans.

New in version 2.0.

bot = commands.AutoShardedBot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents, shard_count=5)
