fixed

but how do i get the responses from it ? @slate swan

[slate swan]

Look at the examples https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/modals

[lyric sigil]

seen but when people submit their answer i want the bot to send a copy in a channel how do i do that ?

[slate swan]

.send_modal takes Modal not text

[lyric sigil]

??

what

[slate swan]

await interaction.response.send_modal(f'Thanks for your response, {self.name}!') ??

[lyric sigil]

yes but no

[slate swan]

do you read what i say? you literally just added ephemeral=True

[naive briar]

Do you know the difference between send_modal and send_message

[lyric sigil]

yes

[naive briar]

Doesn't seem like it

[lyric sigil]

send modal sends a modal and send message sends a message

[slate swan]

So, why are you trying to make a modal ephemeral or send some message with it

[slate swan]

so why you do opposite?

[lyric sigil]

i've took the code from the github you've send

[slate swan]

No you didn't

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

[unkempt canyon]

examples/modals/basic.py lines 57 to 58

async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Thanks for your feedback, {self.name.value}!', ephemeral=True)```

[slate swan]

There's a difference which apparently you "know"

nah blud be making those mistakes on purpose

[lyric sigil]

[slate swan]

Thinking the same quite often

[lyric sigil]

So is it possible or not ?

[slate swan]

It's literally the example, so I think it's possible yes

[lyric sigil]

but

when i copy paste the example it is not working

[naive briar]

You copy pasted and edited it

[lyric sigil]

now i have this error :

it says missing acces but my bot is an admin on my server and has the admin rights

[naive briar]

Admins can't create app commans 🤷

You need to enable the app commands scope when inviting the bot

[lyric sigil]

i enabled all but still the same error

[slate swan]

you enabled all what

[naive briar]

All scopes?

[slate swan]

all scopes?

[naive briar]

That doesn't sound like a good idea

[lyric sigil]

yeah but not at the good place

[slate swan]

Do you even know what a scope is

[lyric sigil]

yes

[slate swan]

So, why do you say you've enabled all scopes and "not at the good place"

[lyric sigil]

it should look like this ?

[lyric sigil]

enabled it all at bot permissions

[slate swan]

Right so you haven't enabled all scopes

[slate swan]

yes, now reinvite the bot

[lyric sigil]

done still the same issue

[slate swan]

So you didn't know what scopes are, at least before

[slate swan]

Is the bot in the guild

Meaning, is the guild ID correct

[lyric sigil]

in the code ?

[slate swan]

Where else

[lyric sigil]

i need to replace the 0 ?

[slate swan]

..

did you even read the comments?

or you just think they are there for fun

[lyric sigil]

readed them but its the only place where i can see guild can be placed

[slate swan]

yes replace the 0 with actual guild id

[lyric sigil]

blocked here

okay same issue

"Missing Access

[slate swan]

What's your thing now

[lyric sigil]

my "thing" ?

[slate swan]

About what you've edited duh

[lyric sigil]

TEST_GUILD = discord.Object(MY_GUILD_ID)

[slate swan]

and what MY_GUILD_ID is?

[lyric sigil]

the bot guild id

[slate swan]

Which is

[lyric sigil]

1140326509920395374

[slate swan]

So, how does your code look like

No, not that.

Anyways, good I can scroll

[slow fog]

[slate swan]

Not code either but yeah whatever

[lyric sigil]

wdyw

the wole 353 lines ?

[slate swan]

Is the bot actually in that guild

[slate swan]

We talked about the testing guild ID for the past minutes, think a bit..

[lyric sigil]

okay

so i've out the bot guild into the code

and it is not working

and you want to see my code

[slate swan]

Again, is the bot actually in that guild and how did you get the guild ID

[lyric sigil]

how do i know he's in it

i've got the guild id from dev portals

[slate swan]

you invite it to it ??

By looking at the members list

[lyric sigil]

okay the discord

yes he's in

[slate swan]

how can you get the guild id on dev portal

[slate swan]

Dev portal has no guild ID

[lyric sigil]

hold on

[slate swan]

Guild == Server

[lyric sigil]

....

[slate swan]

Right click on the guild in the Discord client and copy the ID from there, that's the actual guild ID

[lyric sigil]

done that

but my code takes ages to launch

just staying like that

[slate swan]

its supposed to be like that

[lyric sigil]

normally its says logged in as ... and synced x commands

[slate swan]

Then you eventually got rate limited from syncing commands

[naive briar]

Me when my bot doesn't immediately exit when it's connected to Discord

[lyric sigil]

already have that :

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    # this runs when the account is logged into
    print("We have logged in as {0.user}".format(client))
    try:
        synced = await client.tree.sync()
        print(f"Synced {len(synced)} commands(s)")
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)    

[slate swan]

Yeah then wait 24 hours and see after 24 hours

[lyric sigil]

wat

[slate swan]

It's called a rate limit on syncing commands

[lyric sigil]

no

[slate swan]

And that rate limit gets reset after some hours or a day depends, so try later

[naive briar]

Most useful try-except ever

[lyric sigil]

a friend gave me this

i can even give you his repo

[slate swan]

GPT wouldn't put this nonsense comment

[lyric sigil]

i do 🤓

[slate swan]

It's not because you don't that people don't. I do comment on lots of things....

[lyric sigil]

okay lets put that away

now that the command is working

when i enter the infos i dont have a copy of the responses

[slate swan]

Why not?

I'm asking why it shouldn't be done since you're so sure about it

[lyric sigil]

.

[slate swan]

Which is unrelated to bot dev, thanks

[slate swan]

What responses

There's a rule called staying on the channel topic which I'd like to follow ^-^

[lyric sigil]

like if you enter Name : aaaa , Feedback : aaa . I want a copy of that

[slate swan]

So, what's the issue

[lyric sigil]

i dont have a copy of that

relax bro

no need to insult eachother

i'm upset that they're making fun of me but i dont say it

[slate swan]

Send the actual code and the results you see

[lyric sigil]

The whole or just the modal part ?

[slate swan]

how is that code 😭

[lyric sigil]

so when people fill this

[slate swan]

Well there you have it?

It sends the aaa of the name

[lyric sigil]

i want a copy of the responses

[buoyant quail]

Just get the code from that image, what's the problem

[slate swan]

If you want the aaa of the "What do you think...." then just add it to the message you send

[slate swan]

[lyric sigil]

no like

[slate swan]

Nice code, what's the point to send it

[lyric sigil]

you dont understand i think

unfortunately no

[slate swan]

thats literally example from discord.py repo

[lyric sigil]

@slate swan wanted me to send it

[buoyant quail]

xdd

[lyric sigil]

so

[slate swan]

Add the same for feeback

[lyric sigil]

the command is for an game server to whitelist people

so i want them to wrote their IG name and some infos

then i want the bot to send all the info from the command that the guy used into a channel

so i can take the IG name and whitelist it

hold on gonna make an exemple

[slate swan]

My guy, there's no need... You already send the name. Now send the feedback as well

Then rename the TextInput data with whatever you want

If you want a username then set the label to something like "What's your in-game username?" instead

[lyric sigil]

but idk how to do that

thats the point

[slate swan]

All right, so you can't replace a string by another one?

Have you taken into consideration learning Python before making a bot? At least the most basics, and the advanced topics it requires to know, e.g. async and OOP

[lyric sigil]

yes but i've didnt done things like that be4

but i figured out how to have the feedback

[slate swan]

So you haven't learned the advanced topics that discord.py requires you to have, which includes OOP

[lyric sigil]

now the thing i want to know is how do i can make the bot send all the modal infos into a specific channel

[slate swan]

Get a channel and send it

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[lyric sigil]

Done this

async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await client.get_channel(1152966656314855484)
    await channel.send({self.name.value} , {self.feedback.value} )
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Thanks for your feedback', ephemeral=True)

but it's not working

[quick brook]

yea it's not working but why

[lyric sigil]

Good question that was i was going to ask

and also the purpose of this channel

[quick brook]

look at the return type of get_channel

[shrewd apex]

lmao

[lyric sigil]

need to replace await with return ?

[quick brook]

probably also enable pyright bc if you have static type hinting enabled, vsc would already have detected the issue

[quick brook]

did you read the docs

[shrewd apex]

channel = client.get_channel(1152966656314855484) or await client.fetch_channel(1152966656314855484)

get_channel get the channel for bot cache

if it dosent exist it returns None in which case you can make a request to discord api to fetch it

[lyric sigil]

seen that on the doc

[quick brook]

then how do you handle it ?

[lyric sigil]

i dont have any errors

[quick brook]

then do you know how to handle errors in modals?

[lyric sigil]

giving me an error only into the modal

[shrewd apex]

what does that supposed to mean?

[lyric sigil]

async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    channel = client.get_channel(1152966656314855484) or await client.fetch_channel(1152966656314855484)
    await channel.send({self.name.value} , {self.feedback.value} )
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Thanks for your feedback', ephemeral=True)

[lyric sigil]

idk

but thats weird i dont have any errors in vscode

[shrewd apex]

do u know how to handle or get errors in views ?

[lyric sigil]

No i guess ?

[shrewd apex]

view errors are under an on_error callback which u need to override

also use a fstring in channel.send

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[nova badge]

can you still make discord bots? I thought bots like groovy were banned?

[slate swan]

You can still make bots yes, why would it not be allowed

What you can't do are bots breaching terms of services, which groovy and other music bots were doing

And that's been the case since forever

hi

i get an 'interaction failed' error everytime i run my code. without any error in console ofc

here is my code;

@client.event
async def on_select(ctx, interaction):
    try:
        custom_id = interaction.custom_id
        selected_value = interaction.values[0]
        if custom_id == "crypto_select":

                    embed.set_thumbnail(url="URL_TO_USDT_ICON_IMAGE")

                elif selected_value == "LTC":
                    embed = discord.Embed(

    except Exception as e:
                print(f"An error occurred: {e}")```

[quick brook]

You still can. The story with the music bots is that Discord prohibits bots from using streaming services such as YT, Spotify and SoundCloud. Using those to stream music for your bot is considered a breach of TOS, and Discord has been enforcing and ramping up efforts to crack down on this. Thus, that's why the bots are slowly dying and being picked off one by one

to be also clear, streaming music illegally from YT, Spotify and SoundCloud also is illegal and results in copyright violations and a whole legal battle so...

[slate swan]

@quick brook can u help

[quick brook]

figure it out yourself

[slate swan]

??

what

why do you think im here nimrod

[quick brook]

dont think if i'm replying to someone else's question that i will automatically help you. no it doesn't work that way. I pick and choose

[slate swan]

there question had nothing to do with python

im making a help channel bruh so useless

[quick brook]

go ahead

also insulting me like that proves to me that you are weak than anything else

[glad cradle]

you're not responding using the Interaction object, also why you're accepting ctx and Interaction?

[static vine]

I am trying to make my bot say the weather, but for some reason the code doesn't work. (I got the code from github)

[slate swan]

ah yes the average copy pasta 🍝

[slate swan]

assuming that was an insult is genuinely applaudable. If you think that was an insult, you would explode in the real world .

[slate swan]

im confuseled, i always use ctx for everything but wdym not responding using the object

[glad cradle]

what library are you using?

[slate swan]

rapptz'

[glad cradle]

mh? no on_select event in d.py though?

[slate swan]

there isn't? i thought i saw some docs that said there was, what event do i use instead

[glad cradle]

!d discord.on_interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_interaction

discord.on_interaction(interaction)```
Called when an interaction happened.

This currently happens due to slash command invocations or components being used.

Warning

This is a low level function that is not generally meant to be used. If you are working with components, consider using the callbacks associated with the [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View) instead as it provides a nicer user experience.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

do i replace this w/ on_select

[quick brook]

This is a low level function that is not generally meant to be used.

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

just read the examples here

[silk plaza]

hello, I have a question about aiohttp

[quick gust]

nope,

consider using the callbacks associated with the View instead as it provides a nicer user experience.

[slate swan]

cool 👍

[silk plaza]

the thing is that when i call a request that returns ~7k lines of json its goes very quickly, but when i try to call .json() or .text() on it it processed for a couple seconds (~30/45), can i somehow speed it up?

[slate swan]

thats most likely not related to discord bots so head over to #1035199133436354600

[silk plaza]

i thought i clicked on #async-and-concurrency lol, sorry

[slate swan]

👍

[slate swan]

im using view

[buoyant quail]

on_interaction is the only event for interactions in dpy. for all types of them
there are no on_select, on_button_click or anything like that

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

[slate swan]

okay how do i change it to use on_select

[glad cradle]

It made sense to recommend it in his case

generally doesn't mean that should'nt ever be used

[slate swan]

what other lib can i use to use onselect

Do your research

[sick birch]

You don't need to bring in a whole another library just to see what options a user selected

[slate swan]

okay ill use on interaction

[sick birch]

You shouldn't use on interaction either

See the examples linked above for listening to select menus

[slate swan]

zlhawg ok

[young dagger]

How do I load the JSON one?

[sick birch]

Cna you elaborate?

[young dagger]

I want to load the JSON file only once, not open it every time someone types a message

# JSON
channel_rules = {
    1067851901355430040: {
        'flex': 1067851927381090365,
        'duo': 1067851927381090365,
        'duoq': 1067851927381090365,
        'aram': 1067851927381090365,
    }
}

# Code
# Load channel_rules from JSON file
with open('channel_rules.json', 'r') as file:
    channel_rules = json.load(file)

@client.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    content = message.content.lower()

    for channel_id, keyword_mapping in channel_rules.items():
        for keyword, to_channel_id in keyword_mapping.items():
            if keyword in content:
                await message.channel.send(
                    f"Please use <#{to_channel_id}> for {keyword} related LFGs in order to keep this channel more clean.")```

[sick birch]

How can you tell it's opening the file every time?

[young dagger]

Because I'm using
with open('channel_rules.json', 'r') as file: channel_rules = json.load(file) right?

[sick birch]

Yeah, that just opens the file, reads the contents into channel_rules, and closes it

[young dagger]

So isn't it better to load it on startup and save it in the memory?

[sick birch]

That's what you're doing

[young dagger]

So I can't change the json file on the fly to update the list without restarting the bot?

[sick birch]

Correct

[young dagger]

Alright

[sick birch]

If you wanted to do that, you would probably bind channel_rules to your bot instance, and you'd have a command to re-load the file and update the state

[nimble mirage]

[final iron]

There's still more you can say...

[harsh orbit]

[harsh orbit]

also I have another question

how to get bot invite link from the tokens only?

[final iron]

huh

[harsh orbit]

how to get bot invite link from the token?

[desert kiln]

hello peeps

[desert kiln]

You can't.

[final iron]

You don't...

[harsh orbit]

so how someone make this?

[desert kiln]

[final iron]

Make what

[harsh orbit]

get bot invite link from the token

actually I knew

just get the id

and set it in the link

nvm

[final iron]

Actually, the first bit before the dot can be decoded to base64, that's the string of the users id

It's possible if you know how to decode it

[harsh orbit]

    print(f"https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id={str(bot.user.id)}&permissions=8&scope=bot")

so how I did it in one line?

[desert kiln]

That's not the bot token.

[harsh orbit]

how did I get the bot.user.id ?
from the token, so I didnot need any info execpt the tokens

[desert kiln]

what

[harsh orbit]

?

[desert kiln]

you didn't get the invite from the token, you got it from the bots user ID

[harsh orbit]

🤦‍♂️

nvm nvm

[final iron]

The first bit of your token is the users ID converted to base64

Decode it, then you'll have your user ID

It's extremely easy as well

Just use base64

[mighty pilot]

Can you edit an embed? Or do you need to make a new one to change anything

[final iron]

I'm decently sure you need to just make a new one

You could just copy the embed though, and edit the fields you want

[mighty pilot]

Yea I'm gonna tinker with that lol

[empty terrace]

[desert kiln]

I wonder, if the actual Python discord, codes there own bots in python

[sick birch]

we do

[desert kiln]

oh noice

[desert kiln]

I need help, I'm trying to make stuff like, events, but I realise I need a handler, can someone help, I have cogs set up, I need my Event Handler and stuff for my @bot.event

Nevermind, figured it out

[desert kiln]

Nevermind, it didn't work 💀

[quick gust]

can u reframe that? Are you trying to add an event to a cog?

[desert kiln]

maybe 💀

[desert kiln]

why, am I not supposed to?

[naive briar]

No? What have you tried?

[quick gust]

I never said that, I was just asking

[desert kiln]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import os
import json

TOKEN = ""


class Solaris(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            command_prefix="s!",
            intents=discord.Intents.all()
        )
    async def setup_hook(self):
        for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
            if filename.endswith('.py'):
                try:
                    await self.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f'Failed to load {filename[:-3]} cog. Error: {str(e)}')
                    
Solaris().run(TOKEN)

This is my main bot.py file, where and how can I add a event handler

[quick brook]

just override it within your subclass

[desert kiln]

what's a subclass 💀

I feel light headed what's going on

[quick brook]

subclassed bot

[desert kiln]

so where do I put it....

[quick brook]

for example... https://github.com/Rapptz/RoboDanny/blob/rewrite/bot.py#L387C1-L389C31

[unkempt canyon]

bot.py line 387

async def on_guild_join(self, guild: discord.Guild) -> None:```

[desert kiln]

I do need a on_guild_join too

mane, I've been up for 7 hours straight coding

[quick brook]

get some rest

[desert kiln]

no

I must achieve my goals

of getting my event handler done

even then, I have college in 6 hours, so I can't sleep

[quick brook]

still get some sleep. you have classes starting in 6 hours so you might as well get some rest. even 6 hours of sleep is better than none

[desert kiln]

nahhhhhhhhhhh

[desert kiln]

Do I place this in the setup_hook?

damn

@quick brook

[quick brook]

pretty much the same idea

you dont place it in setup_hook, but place it just like setup_hook

[desert kiln]

so, if not in the hook, where?

[quick brook]

ex:

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
      super().__init__(
        command_prefix="s!",
        intents=discord.Intents.all()
      )

    async def setup_hook(self):
        for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
            if filename.endswith('.py'):
                try:
                    await self.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f'Failed to load {filename[:-3]} cog. Error: {str(e)}')
    
    # Override the event here. Essentially this allows the bot to listen to the event this way
    async def on_guild_join(self, guild: discord.Guild):
        print(f"Guild {guild.name} just joined!")

[desert kiln]

so I put it inline with the async def setup_hook?

and underneath it

[quick brook]

yes just llike the example

[desert kiln]

thanks so much

[quick brook]

Np

[desert kiln]

Hey uh, I wanna make the on_guild_join send an embed to the use who added the bot, how can I, I tried but it didn't send a message to me when I tried

And I accidentally pasted my code and got rid of it

bruh

[quick brook]

i'll give you the basic outline on how it should be done: obtain the channel, verify that in fact it is a channel and is a text channel, and then log the info there. Alternatively, the way i would approach it is to send it via webhooks to the desired channel instead

[desert kiln]

I mean like, in a DM

DM the user who added the bot

[quick brook]

dont think u can

[desert kiln]

Oh

[quick brook]

plus, DMing the user is purely annoying. Imagine every single time that you earned a new rank in an leveling system, and that notifcation gets DMed to you. You would quickly get annoyed with this. Your consumer satisfaction would decrease (or in economics, consumer utility), and you would want to get rid of the bot. To drive home the point, any bot that performs any sort of DMs is considered annoying and an invasion of privacy

[desert kiln]

Yea, that's a good point

Also, may I ask, as I don't know if this is ToS breaching, but is message logging, (like Dynos) ToS breaching and am I allowed to code my own? @quick brook

[turbid condor]

It shouldn't be against ToS but I don't think it's needed to log every message I'd say only log deleted messages or something similar

[desert kiln]

deleted messages

[naive briar]

Why shouldn't it?

[turbid condor]

As u can just view every message in discord

[naive briar]

That's worse

If a user deleted their message, it means that they don't want anyone to see it

[turbid condor]

Cuz even if we don't log the messages are visible to us it's just about scrolling

[desert kiln]

Oh

[slate swan]

Meanwhile people using RPC

[turbid condor]

RPC?

[desert kiln]

Rich Presence

[turbid condor]

Where's the c?

[desert kiln]

idk

[naive briar]

Presence

[slate swan]

No - Remote Procedural Calls

[naive briar]

Right 😼

[turbid condor]

[slate swan]

And all Discord clients have an RPC server running you can interact with

[desert kiln]

[slate swan]

Which is often used by people to log any messages sent/deleted/whatever

As it sends similar events as the gateway

[shrewd apex]

pretty sure python discord logs them

[desert kiln]

real

[slate swan]

They do

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[turbid condor]

Welp sometimes deleted message are needed as proofs

[slate swan]

To be fair it's kind of normal to log deleted messages these days

[naive briar]

Does Discord even care about them? I wonder

[turbid condor]

Welp they have no way of detecting even if being logged

[shrewd apex]

its a event they send after all

u have to respond to the event data from the gateway no?

they can atleast be sure whether data is being received wether its stored they will prolly never know

[desert kiln]

real

Idk what else to do for my bot then

Does anyone know how to use Discords timeout feature for a bot command?

[naive briar]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta).

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit).

[desert kiln]

thanks

[meager rock]

You only need to keep sending heartbeats, no need to respond to every event you receive

[shrewd apex]

u do send some response right to the event? or is it not required

[glad cradle]

you don't respond to received events

usually

[shrewd apex]

i see

[hushed galleon]

each heartbeat you send contains the last sequence number received by discord so i believe they can be reasonably sure on how up-to-date your client is on events (although i haven't tested how they handle outdated sequences)

edit: a quick check shows nothing special happens if the sequence is behind, at least by a bit ruby discord_ws.client.client ( DEBUG) => Received hello from gateway discord_ws.client.heartbeat ( DEBUG) => Waiting 42.16s for heartbeat discord_ws.client.client ( DEBUG) => Received READY event discord_ws.client.client ( DEBUG) => Received GUILD_CREATE event root ( WARNING) => Resetting sequence from 2 to 1 discord_ws.client.heartbeat ( DEBUG) => Sending heartbeat, last sequence: 1 discord_ws.client.client ( DEBUG) => Received heartbeat acknowledgement

[plucky sun]

how to make this bot?

[turbid condor]

Using python and a discord bot lib along with psutil and datetime module XD

Oh and u will need to use platform module too

[plucky sun]

can give example?

@turbid condor

[turbid condor]

Welp i can only tell you how to do that not providing an example

You can get the processor using platform module

As for the uptime u need to create a variable that stores the time when bot goes online and then use the current time (the time at which command is used) after that u can minus the variable u created earlier with current time to get the uptime

And for the disk usage and memory usage u need to use psutil module

!pip psutil

[unkempt canyon]

psutil v5.9.5

Cross-platform lib for process and system monitoring in Python.

[turbid condor]

Check the docs on how to get the memory usage and disk usage

[shrewd apex]

fair

[vale wing]

They just use it for resuming don't they?

[visual island]

you also need it when sending heartbeat

[pliant jay]

what would I change?

its not in ui

[pliant jay]

okay thank you

[slate swan]

can someone tell me whas flipping wrong

[cloud dawn]

Uhm...

Well first of all you leaked your token.

Second, your indenting is wrong. It needs to be outside the command.

[slate swan]

its fine idc

but which indending

idk what u mean

[naive briar]

The bot.run(TOKEN) is indented inside the gen function

So the bot will never start

[slate swan]

how do i remove it from the function

[naive briar]

Move it down?

[slate swan]

wait

i did that before but didnt worked

[naive briar]

def func():
    something()
    inside()

def func():
    something()
outside()

[slate swan]

but i tried it again, but ye thanks

i also need to learn how to use the def

so yall are gonna fuck my token now abi

[formal basin]

How do anti swear bots not crash?

since they have to read every message sent

[slate swan]

idk

[formal basin]

and check if it is in a huge list

[slate swan]

bro

i wanna poo

[pallid meadow]

Well I mean those gateway events are very tiny

And that’s also why discord uses a websocket connection so it’s not super expensive compared to like a regular http request

As for how they handle it they most likely cache a config that has the word list

And then just reference that config

[slate swan]

yo

[pallid meadow]

It’s fairly inexpensive plus when you get really big you have separate applications aka shards

[slate swan]

how do i make a slash commands in python

[pallid meadow]

I mean any of the main python libs support slash commands

They have examples in their documentation

I personally use disnake which is a fork of discord.py lemme see if I can get you the examples for that

[formal basin]

I use an api

to detect bad words

[slate swan]

ok ty

[pallid meadow]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake

Yeah just look at their read me

[pallid meadow]

Like your own api

Or a SAAS api?

[slate swan]

ty

[pallid meadow]

Yep

[slate swan]

so how do i use disnake

ion understand anything 💀

[pallid meadow]

Well I mean it has instructions in the readme

Like code you can literally copy and paste and it should get you up and running

[slate swan]

ah

[pallid meadow]

If you have ever used discord.py it’s the same thing

[slate swan]

ye i have

[pallid meadow]

then yeah for your case just treat this like discord.py

[slate swan]

alr cool

[pallid meadow]

You might eventually find some differences but that’s once you get farther

[slate swan]

ima restart coding then

[quick brook]

i personally refuse to support any of the dpy forks. discord.py itself already implements every single feature that the forks have. There is no point of using these forks because you will find less support for them, and oftentimes contain poor code design and failed promises (in the case of pycord).

The only reason why you would want to use them is if you already have an existing codebase written during the hiatus period for dpy

and snipy please dont be a fork shill

[glad cradle]

what you are saying (repeatidly) has already been proved to be wrong, d.py does not "implements every single feature that the forks have"

"oftentimes contain poor code design" well even the forks had to rework d.py codebase

[quick brook]

stop being a disnake shill please

[glad cradle]

stop saying lies like "d.py implements every single feature that the forks have" pls

[quick brook]

https://libs.advaith.io/

take a look for yourself

[glad cradle]

this lists only the features officially supported by the discord api

[quick brook]

that's the point

dpy supports the features provided by discord. Internal features between the projects are not considered

[formal basin]

no perspective api

how can i stop the crashing

its not my api

[glad cradle]

not entirely true, views aren't provided by discord so why d.py is implementing them? the closest library to the original discord api is hikari

[quick brook]

Views are way to contain the features such as buttons. Then again why is disnake implementing them as well

[sick birch]

I believe Discord works off of Action Rows, discord.py tries to abstract it further with a single "View" container

[slate swan]

.topic

[lament depot]

**What feature would you be the most interested in making?**

Suggest more topics here!

[slate swan]

Interesting

[glad cradle]

it was already there when the fork was created

[quick brook]

no it wasn't

all of the forks are forked off of dpy 1.7.3. Views was not a concept introduced at that time

[glad cradle]

#381965829857738772 message it was released in 2.0 but the development started already after 1.7.3

[quick brook]

then why are you actively not using dpy?

[glad cradle]

i don't like some things like the interaction class

use subclasses for different interaction types is better for typing

[faint dragon]

thats dope, very useful for what im doing even if its not practical, ty

[quick brook]

what is this opinion? just because it's a "preference?"

[slate swan]

Isn't it all about preferences?

[glad cradle]

you asked why i'm not using d.py not why i'm not reccomending it, if i should choose something it's obvious that i would choose something that i prefer

in the past i also listed why i reccomend it, in the end the user choose what he needs

[quick brook]

blasphemy

[glad cradle]

oke

btw i used d.py a lot before it was discontinued

[empty terrace]

[sick birch]

Looks like response_message.content was blank. Did you have message contents enabled?

[slate swan]

yes, i do, ive also confirmed that by adding a print 'msg.content' and it returns a blank statement

[sick birch]

What message did you send when it's waiting?

[slate swan]

one moment

excuse the light mode, its natural

i forget that lightmode is an irregularity on discord

[sick birch]

!paste Hmm. Can you pastebin your whole code? This is odd.

[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.

[slate swan]

oki

well actually, that's mainly it

unless you're asking for the embeds?

[sick birch]

All of your code, please

[slate swan]

ok

[sick birch]

It is easier to help when I have the full picture

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/GPMQ

[sick birch]

Can you also paste the bot file?

[slate swan]

what bot file

[sick birch]

The file where you define your bot instance

[slate swan]

[sick birch]

Yeah you're missing message content intents

[slate swan]

ehh

i thought it was discord.intents.defualt

[sick birch]

Default doesn't include message content, as it's a privledged intent

[slate swan]

whats the parameter

intents.all?

@sick birch

ill try

[sick birch]

intents.message_content = True

[slate swan]

yes it worked

[slate swan]

i just used .all so i dont gotta enable anything that shud be later on, thanks bro

[sick birch]

Would not recommend enabling all. Takes up more processing power

Enable only what you need

[slate swan]

oh ok

[pliant jay]

How do I disable / change this?

[slate swan]

oh wait @sick birch

You can pass in None into help_command kwarg while you construct your bot to disable it:

how do i make it return not none

@sick birch

[sick birch]

Make sure your bot can "see" the user that ID is associated with

wut

ima try user=member

await interaction.channel.set_permissions(user=member, view_channel=True, send_messages=True)
TypeError: GuildChannel.set_permissions() missing 1 required positional argument: 'target'

@sick birch ^

[sick birch]

That's not going to change anything. discord.py is expecting a Member or Role object as the first positional argument

[slate swan]

yes, i did put the member object

userid = int(response_message.content)
                guild = interaction.guild
                member = guild.get_member(userid)```

@sick birch ^

[sick birch]

That's not a Member object. That's why the error is happening - it's None

Is the ID you input in the same guild?

[slate swan]

yes

[sick birch]

You might try enabling the members intent, then, to see if your cache is not being populated correctly

[slate swan]

okay let me c

[slate swan]

it worked!

thanks robin

[onyx elk]

after countless days, i have done it, i made an auth bot that can join servers for people

[glad cradle]

i have a question, did you use the user's personal access token as authentication for the oauth2 API routes, in your case to join guilds ?

[onyx elk]

we made our own discord module and yes its access tokens and refresh tpkrns

[pallid meadow]

Umm are you doing your requests asynchronously

I.e are you using aiohttp

Or the async client in httpx

[pliant jay]

how do I fix this? (discord.py)

[merry cliff]

show code

[pallid meadow]

My guess is that you didn’t put an f before your string

[merry cliff]

then how did they get the ping variable to show?

[slate swan]

intresting

[lusty wolf]

When i use

await vc_channel.set_permissions(dueño, manage_channels=True, manage_permissions=True)

It doesn't do nothing
But if i use:

await vc_channel.set_permissions(dueño, manage_channels=True)
await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
await vc_channel.set_permissions(dueño, manage_permissions=True)

It does put the manage permissions but not the manage channels one, any help?

[old vine]

HEY

HELP

[golden portal]

for the bottom snippet, it replaces it, so thats why

but the top snippet, i tried that, and it works for me

[formal basin]

So what can I use instead?

[lusty wolf]

Uuh, well, it does nothing for me, let me send the entire command.

@bot.command()
async def crearvc(ctx, dueño: discord.Member, nombre_canal):
    staff_role = ctx.guild.get_role(staff_role_id)
    if staff_role and staff_role in ctx.author.roles:
        category = ctx.guild.get_channel(categoria_personalizada_id)
        if category and isinstance(category, discord.CategoryChannel):
            # Crea el canal de voz en la categoría especificada
            vc_channel = await category.create_voice_channel(name=nombre_canal)

            await vc_channel.set_permissions(dueño, manage_channels=True, manage_permissions=True)

            session = Session()
            vc_personalizado = VCPersonalizado(
                nombre_canal=nombre_canal,
                id_canal=str(vc_channel.id),
                id_dueño=str(dueño.id),
                id_categoria=str(categoria_personalizada_id)
            )
            session.add(vc_personalizado)
            session.commit()
            session.close()

            embed = success_embed("Éxito", f'Se ha creado el canal de voz "{nombre_canal}" para {dueño.mention}.')
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        else:
            embed = error_embed("Error", 'No se encontró la categoría especificada.')
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    else:
        embed = error_embed("Error", 'No tienes permiso para ejecutar este comando o no tienes el rol de staff requerido.')
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

It's on spanish btw, it just creates a voice channel and saves the info on the database.

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

[turbid condor]

and which lib are you using for that?

that's the prolem then

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Asynchronous programming

Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor

[turbid condor]

Well the error is pretty self explaining

It says you haven't put intents inside you bot class

[slate swan]

!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.

[stoic tusk]

Anyone knows how to fix?

[slate swan]

define a log_channels varriable?

[stoic tusk]

Didn't I already do this?

[slate swan]

doesnt look like

[stoic tusk]

Can you help me with that tho? I'm a beginner and it's been some time when I last coded too

[final iron]

log_channels hasn’t been defined

Pretty self explanatory

[young dagger]

Will this function also be triggered when messages are edited by users?

@client.listen()
async def on_message(message):```

[final iron]

No

!d discord.on_message_edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message\_edit

discord.on_message_edit(before, after)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) receives an update event. If the message is not found in the internal message cache, then these events will not be called. Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the [`max_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) parameter or use the [`on_raw_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_edit) event instead.

The following non-exhaustive cases trigger this event...

[young dagger]

So you can't create a function that works on both new and edited messages? You have to create a separate function for that?

[final iron]

Not unless you want to create your own

Not really sure why you would want that though

[young dagger]

I want a function to get triggered by both new and edited messages

[final iron]

Why though

[young dagger]

Because it's a bad word filter

[final iron]

So just use 2 events, and create a function to filter it

Call the function in both events

[young dagger]

It should apply to messages even after they've been edited

[young dagger]

Right, thanks

[young dagger]

You mean something like this:

@client.listen
async def on_message(message):
    await handle_message(message)

@client.listen
async def on_message_edit(before, after):
    if before.content != after.content:
        await handle_message(after)```

[final iron]

Yeah

[young dagger]

For some reason it's not working

@client.listen
async def on_message(message):
    await handle_message(message)

@client.listen
async def on_message_edit(before, after):
    if before.content != after.content:
        await handle_message(after)

async def handle_message(message):
    if not isinstance(message.author, discord.Member):
        return

# Code here```

I dont get it, the guild that the bot is being added to has a valid owner, then why does it says guild.owner is None?

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.

[unkempt mauve]

dude paste it there if its too big, dont flood the chat

[wet raft]

wha else then

[unkempt mauve]

pls ping if anyone knows ^^

[wet raft]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/6EZQ

its an error btw

[shrewd apex]

do u have necessary intents enabled?

[unkempt mauve]

discord.Intents.default() should enable the guilds intent as well right?

[shrewd apex]

u need members iirc

[unkempt mauve]

but I am fetching the guild owner not member

[wet raft]

i need help with this error
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/6EZQ

[unkempt mauve]

sometimes it returns the guild owner, but most of the time it returns None

[shrewd apex]

technically guild owner is also a member

try with server members intent i would say

[shrewd apex]

File "/workspaces/MyFirstDiscordBot/bot.py", line 28, in on_ready
    await bot.load_extension("commands")  # Replace "commands" with the actual filename without the ".py" extension

check on_ready in bot.py

this is not your code is it?

[wet raft]

it is

i have it there

i put the the thang there so i remember for later

new discord bot coder thats why i put that there

[unkempt mauve]

oh it works. but will discord even verifiy my members intent just for some join and leave logs?

[shrewd apex]

tbh idk it depends on the person verifying your bot

[wet raft]

i fixed it

[slate swan]

You can use guild.owner_id then get/fetch the member yourself if that happens

[quick brook]

no

[quick brook]

discord will probably deny you that intent if you say it's for join/leave logging purposes

this is hence why I plan on removing that intent from mine and just leaving message content since my bot is using hybrid commands. And for message content, i plan on creating an essay on why

[glad cradle]

why don't you fully migrate to slash commands? i mean discord enforced them to not give message content intent to bots for commands

[quick brook]

https://github.com/No767/Kumiko

read the source code here. It's 12.8K lines of Python code

feel free to make a pr to convert all of them to slash commands once you understand how complex the bot is

[glad cradle]

i'm not here to go against you 😭 but i don't think that's a valid excuse for discord, even big bots were forced to migrate

[quick brook]

they have a team. I'm a solo developer. Migrating my bot would take too much effort and would not quantify the time spent

the goal is to create a module that depends on message_content that solves an issue that most people face

[glad cradle]

wdym?

[meager rock]

Just curious what's the point of passing the pool thru bot when you're passing the bot already
https://github.com/No767/Kumiko/blob/4e4d642fb08eb1165fac622cfecab9518bbd3eb8/Bot/kumikocore.py#L42

[unkempt canyon]

Bot/kumikocore.py line 42

bot, interaction.user.id, bot.pool```

[quick brook]

more explict

most if not all of my helper coros follow this design of passing in the pool object directly, so it makes sense to implement it as so

[meager rock]

fair

!d typing.TYPE_CHECKING
https://github.com/No767/Kumiko/blob/4e4d642fb08eb1165fac622cfecab9518bbd3eb8/Bot/Libs/utils/blacklist.py#L41 might be helpful

[unkempt canyon]

typing.TYPE\_CHECKING

typing.TYPE_CHECKING```
A special constant that is assumed to be `True` by 3rd party static type checkers. It is `False` at runtime.

Usage:

```py
if TYPE_CHECKING:
    import expensive_mod

def fun(arg: 'expensive_mod.SomeType') -> None:
    local_var: expensive_mod.AnotherType = other_fun()
```  The first type annotation must be enclosed in quotes, making it a “forward reference”, to hide the `expensive_mod` reference from the interpreter runtime. Type annotations for local variables are not evaluated, so the second annotation does not need to be enclosed in quotes.

Bot/Libs/utils/blacklist.py line 41

# Circular import so bot is untyped```

[quick brook]

FYI i know about this already and have tested this

does not work in my case

unless you want to demostrate that in fact, you can make it work, feel free to make a pr and i'll test and code review it to ensure it will work

[meager rock]

bet I'll do that when I'm home

[quick brook]

ok i will be expecting to see a PR in a couple of hours

[meager rock]

Just made 2 changes in the code ( on my cloud environment)

from __future__ import annotations

from typing import Dict, TYPE_CHECKING

if TYPE_CHECKING:
     from Bot.kumikocore import KumikoCore

# in function
async def get_or_fetch_blacklist(bot: KumikoCore, id: int, pool: asyncpg.Pool) -> bool:
``` worked like a charm for importing in a file
I couldn't test on a running bot since I don't have a dev environment rn but importing this way can have no issues \:)

[quick brook]

ok thanks for letting me know

[final iron]

What is the point of TYPE_CHECKING?

[meager rock]

they are importing that function in the file where KumikoCore is defined, which would lead to a circular import if not imported under TYPE_CHECKING

[glad cradle]

do you know from __future__ import annotations as well? if you don't import it you should annotate things imported under type checking as strings

[quick brook]

you should annotate things imported under type checking as strings
What?

[glad cradle]

from typing import Dict, TYPE_CHECKING

if TYPE_CHECKING:
     from Bot.kumikocore import KumikoCore

# in function
async def get_or_fetch_blacklist(bot: "KumikoCore", id: int, pool: asyncpg.Pool) -> bool:

the future import does that for you

[quick brook]

you know that my project keeps compatibility with 3.8 - 3.11? I would rather explicitly import from __future__ import annotations instead

[meager rock]

String annotations work with any version from 3.8 on

[quick brook]

hm ok

use discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown decorator for app commands, and commands.cooldown decorator for text commands

Those are your libraries

[dire mason]

So what python 3.11?

[dire mason]

^

[final iron]

You’re doing 3.10 here

And you have 3.11 installed

[dire mason]

so I just change 3.10 to 11?

[final iron]

You shouldn’t need to use the version at all

You’re in a venv, you should only have 1 interpreter

Yeah

So how would install that then?

Normally

pip install …

If you want to sent the solution or help me understand the errors, send them in my dms im heading off to bed

[fervent shoal]

heyyy so im makin a discord bot for a friend to troll somenoe, and im tryna make it have a toggle. so anyone with an admin role id would be able to toggle it on or off, and I cant figure out the toggle bit

Toggle = False  
@bot.command()
async def toggle(ctx):
    if is_admin(ctx):
        Toggle 
        await ctx.reply('Toggle is now ON')  
    else:
        await ctx.send('You dont have permission to use this command')  

@bot.event

async def on_message(message):
    vowels = "Uu"
    if Toggle:
        if is_snake(message):
            
            if any(v in vowels for v in message.content.lower()):
                await message.delete()
    else:
        await message.channel.send("Function disabled")

[shrewd apex]

looks gpt generated tbh

u would want the check has_role

[fervent shoal]

rn the issue is its just sending "function disabled" over andover at any message

[turbid condor]

because the is admin condition isn't being satisfied

[sick birch]

Bind the toggle to your bot instance

Python scope doesn't really work like that

[fervent shoal]

so do i just slap the toggle bit under bot event or

[sick birch]

And yes use has_role

[fervent shoal]

idk im still new ish and i do python in small bursts, so most of the terminology is non existent in my head

[sick birch]

Instead of defining Toggle = False you'd do bot.toggle = False at the very top

To toggle it on you'd do bot.toggle = True

In your on_message you would check if bot.toggle

[fervent shoal]

so for the has_role bit it would be

if message.author has_role(admin_id):
   bot.toggle = True

wait no that doesnt work

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
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 the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole) if the user is missing a role, 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 [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole) 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)...

[sick birch]

See documentation on how to use has role

You pass in either role ID or role name

[fervent shoal]

i got that, but regardless of the role its still spamming "function disabled"

[naive briar]

It sure will

You never change the variable's value from False to something else

So, the if Toggle statement will never be true

[naive swan]

def get_messages(sender, recipient, message):
    sender = sender.lower()
    sender_role = "assistant" if sender == "assistant" else "user"
    role = recipient.lower() if sender == "assistant" else sender

    user = get_user(role)
    personality = user['personality'] if user else config["global_personality"]

    bot_context=config["system_context"]

    system_role={"role": "system", "content": f"{bot_context}."}

    prefix='' if sender_role == 'assistant' else f"{personality}"
    add_message({"role": sender_role, "content": f"{prefix} {message}"})

    return [
      system_role,
      *[{"role": obj['role'], "content": obj['content']} for obj in history]
    ]

async def generate_response(message):
    try:
        if message.author == bot.user:
            return

        def call_openai_api():
            logger.info('Звоню на Апишник')
            return openai.ChatCompletion.create(
                model=config["model"],
                messages=get_messages(message.author.name, 'assistant', message.content),

temperature = 0.7
            )

        await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name="a " + message.author.name))
        async with message.channel.typing():
            logger.info(message.author.name + ": " + message.content)
            response = await bot.loop.run_in_executor(None, call_openai_api)
            content = response['choices'][0]['message']['content']
            await message.reply(content)
            get_messages('assistant', message.author.name, content)
            logger.info("Assistant: " + content)
            logger.info("Токены: " + str(response["usage"]["total_tokens"]))

 #changing presence and error handling

So, the problem is, i need to have {message.author.name} at the end of system prompt/request, but im not sure i know where should i put it.

[fervent shoal]

how do i do that

[naive briar]

Set the variable?

!e

toggle = False
print(toggle)

toggle = True
print(toggle)

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | False
002 | True

[naive swan]

or maybe at the start of system prompt, idk.

Error

Code:

@client.event
async def on_ready():

but its already installed...

then how come it shows no module named 'discord_slash'?

[naive briar]

Because there's no module named discord_slash, not even in the screenshot

[sweet minnow]

?

Then what I'm I supposed to install?

[naive briar]

If you're using discord.py, none; discord.py already support slash commands

[sweet minnow]

Oh.

[sweet minnow]

What about pycord?

What do I need to install?

[naive briar]

py-cord also support slash commands

[sweet minnow]

Oh.

[quick brook]

Looks like ChatGPT code

[quick brook]

You are using dpy so no u don't

[quick brook]

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]

Also please don't get me started on the story of how I got banned from the Pycord server for pointing out a flaw with their bot

Yes that's an actual story that happened a couple of weeks ago btw

[sweet minnow]

Yes that was chatgpt code, as i dont want to paste my thousands of lines code here (of my original bot)

But, I have an already working bot (made 1-2 years ago)

but it has this error

and heres the python libaries installed

the bot was originally hosted locally on my pc, and it still runs perfectly

still same error

[buoyant quail]

If it's discord.py, then it hasn't such attribute

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/search.html?q=default_permissions

[sweet minnow]

It's pycord.

[buoyant quail]

ah

then why are you installing discord.py

pycord also doesn't have it btw

it has discord.commands.default_permissions

but not discord.default_permissions

[sweet minnow]

then how does it work when i run locally

[buoyant quail]

ah ok it seems they import everything in discord
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.commands.default_permissions

then just don't install discord.py together with pycord

[sweet minnow]

so do i need to install pycord or no?

[buoyant quail]

if you use it - sure

pip uninstall discord.py
pip install -U py-cord

[sweet minnow]

okay

lemme try

omg it works :D

thanks so much

            logger.info("Токены: " + str(response["usage"]["total_tokens"]))

 #changing presence and error handling

So, the problem is, i need to have {message.author.name} at the end of system prompt/request, but im not sure that iknow where should i put it.

Hard to fall in the joke with such a bad quality picture

[onyx elk]

does anyone know why this doesnt edit permissions to do this

    await channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, read_messages=True, send_messages=False)

its not even right colour

[onyx elk]

!

[onyx elk]

does anyone know why this doesnt edit permissions to do this

    await channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, read_messages=True, send_messages=False)

[slate swan]

not to mention its only in dms 😭

[glad cradle]

nah it can be used in guilds too

[onyx elk]

no? its in servers

just you need attach file sperms

[slate swan]

since when

[onyx elk]

yo down, my favourite helper can you help

[hushed galleon]

judging from discord/discord-api-docs#6082, it requires the Send Voice Messages permission, not Attach Files

[lament depot]

GitHub

[discord-api-docs] #6082 Document voice messages.

[onyx elk]

no i wanna know why it doesnt edit perms here

[hushed galleon]

oh oops, i dont edit channel permissions from my bot often so i wouldn't know

[glad cradle]

it's been for a while

Getting this error, and I don't 100% undstand what it is trying to let me know is wrong. Can someone try to help me figure out that?

This is my orignal Code:

import discord
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands
import wavelink
from typing import Any

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

class player(wavelink.player):

    def __init__(self, bot: discord.member, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.bot = bot

    @app_commands.command(name="play")
    async def connect(self, interaction: commands.Context, *, channel: discord.VoiceChannel | None = None):
        try:
            channel = channel or interaction.author.channel.voice
        except AttributeError:
            return await interaction.reply("User is not in voice channel.")

        vc: wavelink.player = await channel.connect(cls=wavelink.player)
        return vc

    @app_commands.command(name="sync")
    async def slash_sync(self, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Commands Successfully synced!")
        await self.bot.tree.sync()

    async def cog_load(self):
        print(f"{self.__class__.__name__} loaded!")

    async def cog_unload(self):
        print(f"{self.__class__.__name__} unloaded!")

async def setup(bot):

    await bot.add_cog(player(bot=bot))

[final iron]

?

You need to subclass commands.Cog

You can't subclass wavelink.player and magically have the class turn into a cog

bot is also typehinted wrong

It's not discord.member, nor discord.Member

Your interaction typehint is also wrong

discord.Interaction.reply() doesn't exist as well

You're also loading a cog named Cog

[dire mason]

What should I use and where?

[dire mason]

So what do I do?

[final iron]

.

[final iron]

What are you trying to do

[dire mason]

Create a music but by using wavelink

[final iron]

No

Why are you trying to reply

[dire mason]

To let the user know the error

[final iron]

What's wrong with using send_message

[dire mason]

Can I not reply to the users interaction

[final iron]

Obviously not

!d discord.Interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[final iron]

Read the docs

[dire mason]

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'Cog' raised an error: TypeError: module() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

but like what is failing here

[final iron]

Already explained it.

[dire mason]

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

    class Player(wavelink.player):
        def __init__(self, bot: discord.member, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any):
            super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
            self.bot = bot

[final iron]

Cool

Is there a question anywhere?

[dire mason]

Is that what you meant?

[final iron]

Sure

I dunno if it'll work

But it technically is what I said

[dire mason]

Same error

[dire mason]

^

[final iron]

Yes, because doing that makes no sense

[dire mason]

    await bot.add_cog(Cog(bot=bot))

It is this?

[final iron]

You shouldn't be nesting classes

You should have 1 class, which inherits from commands.Cog

[dire mason]

I really dont understand.

I'm sorry, im really new to python

[final iron]

!lp

!tag lp

What's the learn python shit

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[final iron]

OOP and async programming are the recommended bare essentials for discord.py

Inheriting is basic OOP

You need to inherit commands.Cog in your main class, not wavelink

[dire mason]

I just really want to make a music bot.

[final iron]

Okay, you've been given the solution

If you want to load a cog it has to inhert from commands.Cog

Not wavelink

[final iron]

Why not just use one of the existing ones

[dire mason]

Because I want to design and improve and add features that preexisting ones do not have. Its also helps me to know what I can and not do. I want to also feel good about learning, and developing bots for my friends and others to enjoy,

Spam/potential raid

I think it's a self-bot tbh

The reactions were added very quickly

Anyway, how should I go about testing functions/blocks of code for speed/efficiency

[mighty pilot]

I'm also interested in this, all that comes to my mind is log the times that things are triggered with datetime.now

[final iron]

There has to be a better way

I can’t imagine it’ll be all that accurate

THAT EXISTS?!?

[final iron]

Yes…

Have you been using the commands in random channels all this time

[pastel token]

YES

oh my god im stupid

[final iron]

…

[mighty pilot]

[mighty pilot]

I wonder as well, but also I've ran it twice in the same command to run some tests and it seems to be fairly consistent with the short time spans between the beginning and end of commands. Like... 0.002 secs

[feral timber]

!docs discord.TextChannel.create_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_webhook

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

Creates a webhook for this channel.

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

Changed in version 1.1: Added the `reason` keyword-only parameter.

[feral timber]

Looks like it

Yes
Discord.py is an async framework

[golden portal]

if you only have the url though, there is a sync alternative such as SyncWebhook.from_url

!d discord.SyncWebhook.from_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.SyncWebhook.from\_url

classmethod from_url(url, *, session=..., bot_token=None)```
Creates a partial [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook) from a webhook URL.

[feral timber]

uh... that requires that webhook to already exist, right?
I thought we were looking at creating a brand new webhook

[golden portal]

i mean, you create it once, and that's it, after that you always reference the url

[final iron]

!d discord.Webhook.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.url

property url```
Returns the webhook’s url.

[final iron]

create_webhook will return a discord.Webhook object

wdym

Like an error?

That's...not how you do that
