but it works?

[slate swan]

That's not the point

But sure, keep being ignorant.

Will go far 👍

[left mantle]

i'm not lol

corny

[young dagger]

Is it time to remove discriminator from my code? embed.set_author(name=f"Case {case_id} • ban • {user.name}#{user.discriminator}", icon_url=avatar_url)

[slate swan]

iirc you can just use {user}

It'll remove the discriminator from people that migrated to the new username system

There are still users out there that have a discriminator

[young dagger]

How do we deal with those?

[slate swan]

As well as bots but your command probably isn't relevant for them

[slate swan]

Just use {user}, discord.py does it for you

[young dagger]

And replace this with {member}? embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{member.name}#{member.discriminator}'s Logs

[slate swan]

Yeah

[young dagger]

What if I use {message.author.name}#{message.author.discriminator}

embed.set_author(name=f"Message Deleted • {author}", icon_url=avatar_url)
NameError: name 'author' is not defined```

So I can't use {author}

[slate swan]

But you can use message.author

[young dagger]

True

[young dagger]

print(message.author)
beerhunter#0

For some reason it includes the discriminator

[slate swan]

Latest version?

[young dagger]

message.author.name works 🤔

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/user.py#L101-L104

[unkempt canyon]

discord/user.py lines 101 to 104

def __str__(self) -> str:
    if self.discriminator == '0':
        return self.name
    return f'{self.name}#{self.discriminator}'```

[slate swan]

Since it has the code that does it for you

So make sure you're running the latest version

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.3.2

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

That version

[young dagger]

blitzcrank@server1:~$ python3 -c "import discord; print(discord.__version__)" 2.1.1

[slate swan]

Update it then

python3 -m pip install -U discord.py

[young dagger]

Can't I just use pip install --upgrade discord.py

[gilded cedar]

so i have one task on nextcord i'm hosting the bot but for some reason 10 to 23 hours after activating the bot it gives me error of RuntimeError: task is already launched and is not completed. what is the cause?

[turbid condor]

Can u tell what the task is exactly doing?

As for the error it seems your task is relaunching while the previous one is still going on

[gilded cedar]

I got a status change task. every 10 mins the status changes

[turbid condor]

Can u tell where u are running this loop?

[gilded cedar]

you want me the actual code i guess?

[turbid condor]

For now i want to know the event in which you are running this loop

[gilded cedar]

"on_ready" event

[turbid condor]

Hmm that might be the issue

[slate swan]

!dashm

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

[turbid condor]

Since on_ready can fire many times

[slate swan]

Start your task in setup_hook

[turbid condor]

Nextcord doesn't have setup_hook

[slate swan]

Probably has something similar, no?

In the end it's a d.py fork

[turbid condor]

Didn't found it so far

The safest option for now i guess should be using on_cog_load method

If he has cogs

Otherwise he might need a command to start the task

[naive briar]

Just check if it was executed before 🤷

[turbid condor]

This works too

[wary mica]

I made a reaction role system but when I complete it and react to the message, I don't get the role.
What did I do wrong?

Otherwise I can give the file if you don't recognize it

[young dagger]

if payload.message_id in setup_data: line 87
this line and this line

        "channel": channel,
        "embed": embed,
        "roles": roles
    }``` line 60
looks like you aint even puttin message id in the dict

if emoji in setup_data[payload.message_id]["roles"]:
            role = setup_data[payload.message_id]["roles"][emoji]

you using channel id as key not message id

use payload.channel_id instead

[wary mica]

Can you tell me which line that is?

And where I have to change something

[shrewd fjord]

edited

[shrewd fjord]

here you need to change

[wary mica]

So instead payload.message_id => payload.channel_id in Line 87 and 60 ?

[wary mica]

Or do I have to replace Message with Channel on Line 87, 60 and the other one above?

[slate swan]

how can I get the voice channel where the bot is located?

[shrewd fjord]

only in line 87

[shrewd fjord]

as well as here

[wary mica]

        if emoji in setup_data[payload.channel_id]["roles"]:
            role = setup_data[payload.message_id]["roles"][emoji]
            await member.add_roles(role)

Really?

[wary mica]

Is that correct or also with role?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.voice_client

oh, it’s work with guild?

just I used ctx.voice_client in command

but it didn't work with interaction

thanks!

[wary mica]

@shrewd fjord

[shrewd fjord]

also role = .... use channel id there too

[wary mica]

So I have to first message and then channel ?

[wary mica]

Can you change the code, I did all that but it still doesn't work

[shrewd fjord]

i aint gonna spoonfeed, whats your current code

[wary mica]

I have role = ... channel id and above that the message id, also with Remove

[vale wing]

Aw man you should get a computer asap, trust me, relief you're going to feel after switching from mobile coding is indescribable

[vale wing]

Spoonfeed you say

[vale wing]

Mobile coding got no intellisense (autocomplete), errors detection, is ugly and makes it problematic to work with several files

[wary mica]

I'll probably do the same soon, but with this mistake a computer won't do much for me

[vale wing]

With computer it will be easier to understand

Anyways where is your initial problem message

[wary mica]

Ok but I know what the problem is and that is with the message id and channel id

[vale wing]

Nvm found it

[slate swan]

how can i add a thubnail to my embed?

[vale wing]

To add a role, you first need to get the Role object via its ID

role = guild.get_role(role_id)

Only then add it

await member.add_roles(role)

[vale wing]

!d discord.Embed.set_thumbnail

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_thumbnail

set_thumbnail(*, url)```
Sets the thumbnail for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

Changed in version 1.4: Passing `None` removes the thumbnail.

[wary mica]

There are no error messages but the reaction role just doesn't work and it should be the problem with the channel id or message ud

[vale wing]

@wary mica

[vale wing]

🤦‍♂️

Person who never learned python detected

[slate swan]

aaaand another error

[vale wing]

My name contains "spoon feeder" but uh I'm not really one

[vale wing]

It's keyword-only I already told you

[slate swan]

ok so what do i do

[vale wing]

set_thumbnail(url="whatever")

[vale wing]

Ok screw that I am

[slate swan]

ok thanks

can u fix my last error?

[vale wing]

Add this to line #80 and give me the output

print(setup_data[payload.message_id]["roles"], emoji)

[slate swan]

its not exactly an error

there are no errors but some lines of codes dont work

[vale wing]

Which ones

[slate swan]

ill explain to u

so

[vale wing]

Nah you better just show the lines

That will be much faster

There are many reasons code doesn't get run and I can't tell without the code lol

[vale wing]

Absolutely

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/NTNQ

like it ignores this line of code

[vale wing]

Because it is not in the function

Have yall ever heard of indents cmon

[slate swan]

yeah

[vale wing]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

i know how to use indents

[vale wing]

Well it's outside of your function

Just put it inside

What code editor do you use

[slate swan]

replit

[vale wing]

What device do you have

[slate swan]

pc

[vale wing]

You're on the wrong path

But I am going to guide you into right

[wary mica]

If I do it, the error occurs

[vale wing]

1. Install python interpreter: https://python.org/downloads. When installing, put the Add Python to PATH checkmark on
2. Install Visual Studio Code (can install PyCharm Community but its interface might be overwhelming for beginners)

@slate swan ^

[slate swan]

i have them all

[vale wing]

Trust me your coding experience is going to be much better

[vale wing]

Then use them

[slate swan]

i prefer replit for a lot of reasons

[vale wing]

Replit is absolute garbage for code editing

[slate swan]

like secrets

[vale wing]

You make .env file and place all secrets there

[slate swan]

a lot of people using replit rn in this server

[vale wing]

In pycharm you can just make run config

[slate swan]

i use replit only for bots

[vale wing]

That's not a smart decision

[slate swan]

i use vs code for anything else

[vale wing]

The only good thing about replit is you can use some language without installing whole environment for it

[vale wing]

Use it for bots too

Don't tell me you're hosting them with replit

[slate swan]

i know replit is bad for hosting

but i got no money for other platforms

[slate swan]

i did

still not working

[vale wing]

You sure you did?

[glad cradle]

@vale wing

go test my PR brr

Nah imma go play accordion 🤗

[slate swan]

like you just did?

[vale wing]

And like 8 tertial scalar complexes (I hate them too)

How can I host a bot 24/7 for free?

So keep it online

look at #965291480992321536

[quick brook]

you can't

[quick brook]

Please make sure you read this fully

When you look for hosting your bot, you might be tempted to use free services or providers that claim to support hosting discord bots (eg PebbleHost and others). Do not use them. Why? Let me explain.

Free hosts and tiers always have drawbacks - The point of a free tier or a host is to get the user to use their product, and upgrade for all of the good features. Hosts such as replit (see ?tag replit for more info) use shared cpus, oftentimes will run into ratelimits, and have "gotchas" that make you tempted to upgrade to their paid tiers. They also literally remove all control out of how you run your bot. Think about it: Hosts need to make money somehow in order to either break even or gain profit. So naturally they will tempt you into upgrading in order to do that. This is basic economics and quite literally how businesses run.

If you are still looking for a host after reading this, then you have some options. And here are them:

1. Pay up - Pay up and use a VPS provider. My pick is Heznter, but see ?tag vps for the full list (if you are on the Python discord server, then see !hosting for your options). More than likely if you are not an eligible HS or college student, this is your option.

2. Self Host - If you are able to self host your own server, then go for it. This is really the only "free" way if you already pay for your electricity bill and have the equipment to do so. Raspberry Pis oftentimes are great for this.

3. GitHub Student Developer Pack - IF you are a enrolled student in an HS or college (you will need to either provide an valid student ID or proof of education of your HS or college), then you may apply for this deal. More info about this can be found here. The deal offers $200 free credits on DigitalOcean for 1 year, so if you are a student and need to host your bot, go for it.

#discord-bots message

[normal jasper]

Hi, I have two discord bots ( 2 python scripts in a folder ), Is it possible for me to run both of them, by executing only one of them? Like I want to run the first bot, and it executes the second bots script and runs that one too

[quick brook]

just use a proc manager like systemd

[normal jasper]

I tried doing

os.system('python main2.py')

when running the first bot

but it doesnt work since the first one stops working

[quick brook]

dont do that

you can't run two bots with one script FYI

[normal jasper]

I know, there are two scripts, I need them to be executed in different shells

but I only want to start one

and it starts the other one automaticcly

[quick brook]

nope doesn't work that way

that's why we have something called process managers. systemd is what you will find across most linux distros

[normal jasper]

there is no way?

[quick brook]

yes no way

[slate swan]

[quick brook]

that's why systemd exists.... to manage processes. there is even one for windows iirc

[sick birch]

docker compose

I use it to spin up multiple containers at once, ie a discord bot, Postgres database, web dashboard all at once

[sick birch]

[slate swan]

Okay ill check it out

[quick brook]

no

[sick birch]

Yes, though not recommended

Actually hrmm

It would only get registered after you call the command

So it probably wouldn't work the way you expect it to

Can you give us more context?

What exactly are you trying to make?

[quick brook]

PK?

[sick birch]

You will probably want a list/set of "registered users"
In each on_message you'd check if the user who sent that message is in that list/set of registered users
If they are, delete their message, and replace it with the message from the webhook

[quick brook]

PluralKit?

sounds extremely simliar to what pk does

the way pluralkit handles it is just to sub out the message from the system with their current alter

it's all webhooks believe it or not

If you're using discord.py, there's no such thing as discord.Bot, only discord.ext.commands.Bot

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

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

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

New in version 2.0.

You're mixing py-cord with discord.py

If you are trying to use discord.py. Run pip uninstall py-cord in the terminal

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType).

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown) is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error) and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

@left dew

It’s a decorator

[left dew]

oh i see

[graceful ermine]

Hey, I'm trying to see how I can fetch a message ID can anyone could help me and see what I am doing wrong in my code?

    @app_commands.command(name="start-giveaway", description="starts a giveaway")
    @app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_guild=True)
    async def giveaway(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, title: str, description: str, hour: int):


        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=title,
            description=description
        )

        embed.set_author(name=f"Started by {interaction.user.mention}", icon_url=interaction.user.avatar.url)




        
        embed.add_field(name="Ends at:", value=f"<t:{hour*60}:r> ")
        embed.set_footer(text= f"ends at {hour} hours from now!")


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


        message2 = await interaction.channel.fetch_message(message)

        await message2.add_reaction(emoji=":tada:")



        await asyncio.sleep(hour*60)


        new_message = await interaction.channel.fetch_message(message.id)


        users = await new_message.reactions[0].users().flatten()

        users.pop(users.index(self.bot.user))


        winner = random.choice(users)


        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Congratulations {winner.mention} of winning the {title} {description} giveaway!!")

[naive briar]

interaction.response.send_message do not return the sent message

And if you're using discord.py, reaction.users().flatten() is not a thing anymore

[graceful ermine]

Ohhh, in this case I should get rid of .flatten()?

[slate swan]

.users is an async iterator

!d discord.Reaction.users

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.users

async for ... in users(*, limit=None, after=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) representing the users that have reacted to the message.

The `after` parameter must represent a member and meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake) abc.

Changed in version 2.0: `limit` and `after` parameters are now keyword-only.

Examples

Usage...

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.Interaction.original_response use this to get the message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.original\_response

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

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

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

Repeated calls to this will return a cached value.

[graceful ermine]

what do you mean by "do not return the sent message" i'm kinda confused

[naive briar]

I mean "interaction.response.send_message do not return the sent message"

It's written in plain English

[graceful ermine]

Oh, sorry, I misread it

[hushed galleon]

if you want the message sent by your response, use the Interaction.original_response() method

oops im blind spooky already said that

[graceful ermine]

for which line of code?

[hushed galleon]

just after calling send_message(), you can use original_response() to get the message object

[graceful ermine]

so like this message = await interaction.response.send_message(interaction.original_response())

@hushed galleon

[hushed galleon]

i mean on the next line, not as an argument to send_message()

[graceful ermine]

Oh sorry

[hushed galleon]

don't forget to await it too

[graceful ermine]

I'm aware

[graceful ermine]

but why can't I do it like this? ```py
message = await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

    message2 = await interaction.channel.fetch_message(message)```

[hushed galleon]

its a limitation of the discord API, they dont give you any message data when you send a message so you're forced to make a second request if you want it
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#create-interaction-response

[graceful ermine]

So how can I do the other way without the interaction.original_response?

I'm confused by "do not return the sent message"

[hushed galleon]

they likely meant that send_message() returns None, which isn't all that useful to you

[graceful ermine]

Okay, so then do I just turn interaction.original_response into a varible?

like, messages2 = interaction.original_response?

[hushed galleon]

er sure, call the function and await it so it returns an InteractionMessage object, then you can assign it and add your reaction

[graceful ermine]

Ok

[graceful ermine]

I have this error now for some reasom, I never used interaction.original_response() before

[hushed galleon]

can you paste the full traceback?

[hushed galleon]

you don't need to fetch the message again, original_response() already returns an InteractionMessage object

[graceful ermine]

Oh

Okay makes sense now

[hushed galleon]

its explained in the documentation here too

[graceful ermine]

[hushed galleon]

oh right i missed that in your initial snippet

original_response() gives you a message from the API rather than the real-time gateway, which won't update as your bot receives reaction events

you can either find the message in Client.cached_messages (and also make sure you have messages and reactions intents enabled for said events to be received), or you can re-fetch the message

as per the docs original_response() will return the same message object if you call it again, so in this case it would be appropriate to use channel.fetch_message()

[graceful ermine]

Yeah I already have intents.message_content = True enabled

[buoyant quail]

still the same

if you typehint it as discord.ui.Button it won't become button

[lunar vine]

i have button:discord.ui.Button

[buoyant quail]

it still will be an interaction

arguments have their order

[lunar vine]

then what do i do here

[buoyant quail]

change the order of arguments

[lunar vine]

i try

let me see if it work

omg it worked nice but i have an issue sadly

it wont go into the embed! why is it ontop of it @buoyant quail

[buoyant quail]

?
I don't see any embeds in the code you provided

[buoyant quail]

.

[lunar vine]

            identification_embed = discord.Embed(

            message = await interaction.channel.send(embed=identification_embed, view=user_identification_view)

sorry it just said the error was on that part so i didnt know

this is line 218-225

that was line 32-48

[buoyant quail]

You have both values as Blank here
Why would something else be there

[lunar vine]

its blank atm, but when they press which one they are, two ppl will press ofc it changes to their username like it is supposed to..

[buoyant quail]

Then change not the content but the embed

[lunar vine]

thats the sentence for this

[lunar vine]

whats*

[buoyant quail]

        member = interaction.user
        await interaction.message.edit(
            content=f"User Identification\nSender:{member.mention} Receiver: Blank"
        )

You are editing the message. Not the embed.

[lunar vine]

ya! im asking for what to use instead of content! sir !

[buoyant quail]

embed=...

with the new embed object

[lunar vine]

oh i need to make a seperated embedobject?

like embed=embednew

[buoyant quail]

you can use the same and edit only a field inside it
or yes, a separate one

[lunar vine]

how to use the same with only a feild

field.edit?

[buoyant quail]

~~```py
embed.fields[0].value = "new value"

hmm

it looks it actually doesn't work like this

embed.set_field_at(0, name="new name", value="new value")

here is the correct version

How could I code it where it picks someone random to win a giveaway from pressing a button?

[final iron]

Why is there so much spacing

Holy shit

Your indentation is also cooked

You need to fix that

[final iron]

winner = random.choice(joined_users)

You've already done it

Are you actually just asking how to create a button?

[vocal laurel]

Yes Ik how to do it but how did the bot detect the GitHub lines and show it here also why won’t it work when I try it [here](#discord-bots message)

[lunar vine]

zir?

whats 0, whats the numbers signling

maybe ill just debug over wnd over and figure it out or give docs

@buoyant quail u said place this at content= or message.edit

[graceful ermine]

No, asking how to pick someone random that pressed the button

[lunar vine]

he told u how

[final iron]

You've done it before

[graceful ermine]

But joined_users isn't defined I'll just use user

[final iron]

Obviously

It's sample code

You've done it before, why are you asking how to do it lmao

[graceful ermine]

idk, I thought you would need to add more shit lol

[lunar vine]

what exactly is the code not doing

looks like it should work perfectly whats the issue exactly @graceful ermine

[graceful ermine]

haven't test it out, there is no issue exactly

[lunar vine]

so you didn't test out your code, but came to ask for help..

[mighty pilot]

Bruh

[lunar vine]

test it out and lmk

[graceful ermine]

I have, just needed to change reaction to button

[lunar vine]

what reaction

[mighty pilot]

The Main difference between reaction giveaways and button giveaways is that you can't check the reactions on the message, you can alternatively store it in a list... like you are currently with that code

[lunar vine]

can you point to me where reactions are mentioned in the code

[mighty pilot]

He was referring to earlier when it was mentioned that he's done it before

I think

[lunar vine]

i see

[mighty pilot]

Funny stuff though. Code works fine still wants help

[lunar vine]

lol, it's all good, atleast he learned something

Also, you cannot just iterate over a Button

view is not a list of users

It is your button instance

[lunar vine]

no way

[final iron]

:/

[graceful ermine]

shit

i'm so brain dead

[final iron]

Honestly, this reeks of a copied tutorial

Originally designed for reactions, then adjusted for buttons

[lunar vine]

cough gpt

[graceful ermine]

I have been working on this bot for the past 6 hours

[final iron]

Nah GPT follows proper naming conventions

[mighty pilot]

You need to send your user list into the view and append it there when the button is pushed

[final iron]

Like pep8 etc

[lunar vine]

for ur user in users

for user in users```

[final iron]

That would just be iterating over an empty list

[mighty pilot]

Lots of using going on

Don't need a for loop

[graceful ermine]

you could assume me using "gpt" but that's fine lol

[lunar vine]

i thought the list was the users who tapped the button

[final iron]

users = [] just an empty list

[mighty pilot]

That's the goal but he never passed the empty list into the view to be appended upon interaction

[lunar vine]

oh

[mighty pilot]

I wish I had a good example for this, I'm in the middle of upgrading my giveaway bot but I'm going much more complex

[mighty pilot]

Whats that if role: supposed to accomplish

[graceful ermine]

it's supposed to see if the reward is a role in discord

and if it's not then it could skip that line of code

[mighty pilot]

Well you're gonna want to add that to winner not user once you figure out how you're managing the list of members who entered

[graceful ermine]

honestly you're right all of those loops were for eariler

[mighty pilot]

Yup

No reactions to iterate over

[graceful ermine]

[pliant jay]

I have code for making google search's in a discord bot what site would I use for this?

(replace example.com)

[graceful ermine]

You could use google's API

[pliant jay]

were do I find that?

[mighty pilot]

You're getting this error because you're trying to mention your list object. That's like typing @main crag on discord

[graceful ermine]

I think this one https://cloud.google.com/apigee?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=na-US-all-en-dr-bkws-all-all-trial-e-dr-1605212&utm_content=text-ad-none-any-DEV_c-CRE_665665924747-ADGP_Hybrid | BKWS - MIX | Txt_Apigee-KWID_43700077225653157-kwd-474455313&utm_term=KW_google api-ST_google api&gclid=CjwKCAjw38SoBhB6EiwA8EQVLiuaAMhxaFuNhkPK3Z-PkXHhtJ1-ujHT52vkZNjRPtZplOxhIYCDcBoCsokQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I don't know if this is the right one

[pliant jay]

Thanks I'll try that

[mighty pilot]

My b on that mention idk why your name popped up when I used []

I meant @[]

[graceful ermine]

Yeah I already know that, just having issues from the button end

for some reason the button isn't storing the user

[mighty pilot]

What you need to do is forget about for loops, move your users list up to the top and when you declare the view=button() make it view=button(users) then get your button ready to expect that list. Then in your callback you want to do something along the lines of users.append(interaction.user.id) if you're trying to store an ID

[graceful ermine]

Oh, makes sense now

[mighty pilot]

This is a very basic version of what you need to do with the button, only this sets a value true or false where you need to append a list

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

And you need to pass that list into the view __init__

[pliant jay]

Hey, how do I use this, I'm kinda confused lol

[final iron]

It has nothing to do with what you want

He just sent some random shit for some reason

[pliant jay]

ohh 😭

was very confused

[final iron]

It's a tool to manage APIs, literally nothing to do with what you want

[pliant jay]

what should I use?

[final iron]

https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview
if you're trying to make google searchs i'd use this

[pliant jay]

that works in python correct?

[final iron]

Well it's an API

It works in any language

[pliant jay]

okay that you

[final iron]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/performing-google-search-using-python-code/
This is an example I found online

Seems easier

I already tried that

Great, and that's part of the issue

[mighty pilot]

You're appending the list with itself

[mighty pilot]

Reread

[pliant jay]

For this do you know what I should put in here?

[final iron]

If you're following that tutorial you'd be using a separate library, not aiohttp

[pliant jay]

ohh okay

BeautifulSoup?

[final iron]

Did you read the tutorial

[pliant jay]

kinda lol

let me read it again

[final iron]

Okay, and did it tell you to use BeautifulSoup?

[pliant jay]

yes

[final iron]

So...

[pliant jay]

so yes

[final iron]

Good

[graceful ermine]

at this point I don't know how to solve this problem now, I can't append the list and when I append the list and try to store the interaction.user.id it gives me an error

nvm

I got it

[turbid condor]

Other are working?

[naive swan]

ye, rest of the code works

[turbid condor]

Do you have an error handler?

[naive swan]

yes? i guess

[turbid condor]

I mean the on_command_error event

[naive swan]

oh, nope

[turbid condor]

Weird

Can u send the whole code

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the 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.

[turbid condor]

Or you can try using print statements to see at which point the code stops working

[naive swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/WYLQ

[turbid condor]

The command is not working because of on_message event

Change @bot.event decorator above it to @bot.listen()

[naive swan]

still not getting any errors 🤔

[naive briar]

What doesn't work exactly?

[naive swan]

i actually don't know. as i said before, I'm not getting any errors.

[naive briar]

You don't know what doesn't work? I can't help if I don't know what the problem is

[naive swan]

you see, i'm trying to edit json file through a discord command, but that just simply doesn't work. i'm not getting any errors, so i don't think i can debug it in any way.

[naive briar]

Right

You don't have the message_content intent enabled

!message_content

[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.

[naive swan]

command still doesn't work, and still no errors

[naive briar]

Did you enable the intent?

[shrewd fjord]

enable intents in code as well as in dev portal

!on-message-event

[unkempt canyon]

The discord.py `on_message` event

Registering the on_message event with @bot.event will override the default behavior of the event. This may cause prefix commands to stop working, because they rely on the default on_message event handler.

Instead, use @bot.listen to add a listener. Listeners get added alongside the default on_message handler which allows you to have multiple handlers for the same event. This means prefix commands can still be invoked as usual. Here's an example:

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    ...  # do stuff here

# Or...

@bot.listen('on_message')
async def message_listener(message):
    ...  # do stuff here

You can also tell discord.py to process the message for commands as usual at the end of the on_message handler with bot.process_commands(). However, this method isn't recommended as it does not allow you to add multiple on_message handlers.

If your prefix commands are still not working, it may be because you haven't enabled the message_content intent. See /tag message_content for more info.

[shrewd fjord]

dem

[naive swan]

i did

i dont think intents are the problem here

[turbid condor]

You need the message_content intent inorder for the commands to work and read this too

And if after this the bot still doesn't respond then check your bot permissions

[idle lantern]

how to get ids for slash command that gets changed very often? and are probably different in every server?

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.fetch_commands This will return a list of AppCommand objects that each have an id attribute

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.fetch\_commands

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

Fetches the application’s current commands.

If no guild is passed then global commands are fetched, otherwise the guild’s commands are fetched instead.

Note

This includes context menu commands.

[slate swan]

if for whatever reason you're syncing your commands very frequently (which you probably shouldn't be doing, but that's another discussion) then the sync method will also return your list of AppCommands

[idle lantern]

im only syncing them at the time of bot loading is that bad practice?

[slate swan]

I believe you only need to sync them when the command's signature (name, set of arguments etc) changes, but not when it's callback changes

so ideally you'd have a text-based command that can be used to manually sync them when needed

[idle lantern]

but i would also need to restart the bot in order to change or update things right? so that basically resyncs them each time doesnt it?

[idle lantern]

thanks for this btw

[meager rock]

You can use cogs to hot reload the data during runtime
And have a command that syncs your commands on demand

[civic schooner]

hey, so i'm using mocks to manipulate my bot in certain ways. however, mock isn't garbage collected.
this is leading to memory leaks, and i operate a big bot - so it is an issue.
i don't know if there's any way to move mocks to garbage collection, because right now it is keeping references to the mock objects
here's my implementation: https://pastebin.com/iwCuW651
any ideas?

[carmine viper]

I am converting my discord bot over from ctx commands to slash commands. Having an issue getting my reaction emojis to work, can someone point me to the right place in the discord.py library to read up on this? Below is an image of the code being used with ctx commands, just kind of stumped on this.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.original\_response

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

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

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

Repeated calls to this will return a cached value.

[slate swan]

And you'll get an interaction message that you can react to

[carmine viper]

Going through the docs, I ended up finding this (image attached) but it still isn't working. I will probably come back to this later, thanks for the info.

Here's where I was finding this info

[slate swan]

You need class instance

Not just a class name

How it is supposed to know what interaction you talking about

[carmine viper]

I am just a bit confused because it is inside of the function. Maybe I need more coffee. lol

Appreciate the responses, I will be doing more reading today. This bot was working fine what I was using ctx commands, the slash commands are new to me but something I want to impliment.

I may just use buttons since I can get those to work, was trying to stay as close to the original as possible, which had the reaction emojis.

[shrewd fjord]

Ok let me try to change it. im not sure what the limit is on that

[glad cradle]

iirc it's 100

[quick brook]

the other thing is you can just replace the desc with something like "Ban a user". and then the option desc are like for reason, "Reason for banning said user" and the time would be a str that you parse (use something like parsedatetime)

[austere vale]

Oh i see. okay that seemed to fix it, thank you

[quick brook]

np

[austere vale]

actually, how would i go about setting an option description?

[quick brook]

did you read the docs or examples

[austere vale]

i dont think that there is an example here

[quick brook]

if you read the slash command example it's there

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/blob/master/examples/application_commands/slash_command.py

[austere vale]

Oh i missed that. thanks so much

@buoyant quail u here?

can someone tell me where to put python embed.set_field_at(0, name="new name", value="new value") bc this code shud be effecting the embed, so the embed is below the code, but if i put it above it; the view wont be defined..

class UserIdentificationView(View):
    def __init__(self, timeout=999):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Sender", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
    async def sender_button(self, interaction, button:discord.ui.Button):
        member = interaction.user
        await interaction.message.edit(
            content=f"User Identification\nSender:{member.mention} Receiver: Blank"
        )

    @discord.ui.button(label="Receiver", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
    async def receiver_button(self, interaction, button:discord.ui.Button):
        member = interaction.user
        await interaction.message.edit(
            content=f"User Identification\nSender: Blank; Receiver: {member.mention}"
        )```

@quick brook

[quick brook]

dont ping me for help if you are that desperate for it

[lunar vine]

this server isnt real

everyone here is an ai generated person with an ai generated personality

i refuse to change my mind

[quick brook]

we are all people with our own lives here

[lunar vine]

clearly i was being sarcastic

[quick brook]

if you refuse to change your mind, then don't expect help from me

[lunar vine]

proof ^

[slate swan]

I agree

[lunar vine]

can u help tho 🤔

[lunar vine]

aaaa

[final iron]

Share the entire code

[lunar vine]

oki!

im honestly scared of getting verbally tarnished but one moment

ill put it on the paste bin for this server

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JY3A

@final iron ^^^^^^

[final iron]

You could just create a class variable with the data, so it can be accessed anywhere inside the class

[lunar vine]

😋

let me try this!!!

[quick brook]

you know interaction checks exists right

[lunar vine]

they wants to respond the picosecond im getting help

she*

[lunar vine]

whats the doc

[lunar vine]

do i do this or use an 'interaction check' like that person said

[final iron]

Interaction check is a separate thing

[lunar vine]

i did it by doing this;

class UserIdentificationView(View):
    def __init__(self, timeout=999):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Sender", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
    async def sender_button(self, interaction, button:discord.ui.Button):
        member = interaction.user
        embed = interaction.message.embeds[0]
        embed.set_field_at(0, name="Sender", value=member.mention)
        await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Receiver", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
    async def receiver_button(self, interaction, button:discord.ui.Button):
        member = interaction.user
        embed = interaction.message.embeds[0]
        embed.set_field_at(1, name="Receiver", value=member.mention)
        await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed)```

[quick brook]

So what are you trying to achieve

[lunar vine]

wdym

anyway i used python embed = interaction.message.embeds[0] after looking thru and doing sum research

[quick brook]

In simple terms, describe the ideal output and goal of your question

[lunar vine]

before it would edit it as;

receiver:@lunar vine sender: blank
embed was here

so i just fixed it so now it does this

👍 it works now, it just says my name twice cuz i pressed da button twice (both buttons)

[quick brook]

Ok

don’t judge i’m still learning (somewhat ai generated 😭)

i can’t figure that out

[quick brook]

Don't 👏 use 👏 requests: 👏

And your code is blocking

Use __A__iohttp

__A__iohttp is an __a__synchronous HTTP Client/Server for Python. Best suited for __a__sync projects like discord.py. Documentation

Blocking

Libraries like requests and urllib can block the event loop for a period of time (until the request is finished/timed out).
The bot will not respond to anything (commands, etc).

Example

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:
    async with cs.get('https://httpbin.org/json') as res:
        # usually the status code (res.status) - 
        # - is checked before calling these
        # and optionally also the content type (res.content_type)

        # bytes? ---
        # data = await res.read()
        # text? (html, etc) ---
        # data = await res.text()
        # json? ---
        # in this case it's json
        data = await res.json()
        # data is a python dict{} here
        author = data['slideshow']['author']
        print(author)

What does “blocking” mean?
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean

[slate swan]

ah okay

gonna figure smth out with aiohttp

thanks 🙏🏾

[quick brook]

Well u have to

Np

Also fastapi has a section that explains async concurrency extremely well. Same concept applies to dpy but the code for the fastapi docs is ofc for FastAPI : https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/async/

Also ChatGPT is complete ass for learning dpy. Since the data is from 2021

[slate swan]

i used writesonic for help, kinda sucks but up to date

[sick birch]

This guide is great but the emojis and the examples 😭

[mighty pilot]

It's probably my favorite thing when people ask some ai thing how to make something in d.py and wonder why it doesn't work. They're alright at some simple coding but imo garbage at complex stuff

is this any better (still erroring x3)

[mighty pilot]

What's the error say

[mighty pilot]

That seems like a problem connecting to that sites api

Did you input an api key towards the top of your code there or are you trying to run it as you pasted it here

[slate swan]

i put the api key username etc

when i leave it as user-agent i get a 401 error

[slate swan]

& app name

[mighty pilot]

Well this one's out of my comfort zone if it was some problem with d.py I'd be of better assistance. Maybe someone else will pop in with more knowledge or you could open a #1035199133436354600 channel

[golden portal]

tbh 403 just means it's forbidden, could be your auth

[slate swan]

it was the headers part causing that error, onto the next error!

[quick brook]

I rather spend 2 hours teaching people dpy than having people consulting AI for help. Yes I actually taught someone the basics of dpy in person (and I will make a free workshop and post slides)

[slate swan]

christ

[quick brook]

429 == ratelimit

So you can getting 429 ratelimited

[slate swan]

what about 400

[quick brook]

Those are HTTP codes

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status

[slate swan]

i think this has something to do with console being blown up

[quick brook]

Also probably with replit more than likely

Replit uses shared IPs which lead to heavy ratelimits. Just locally develop on your own machine (or GH codespaces)

Or by using NixOS or Vagrant or Docker

Gonna be making an NixOS config for dpy development soon sooooooo

[slate swan]

python is gonna be the end of me

and my 200mb of storage left

[quick brook]

Gonna have to determine what stuff to remove. Thus, I strongly recommend you to develop locally. Gonna be a lot easier and at the very least you aren't running GCC and compiling python w/ C headers

GCC 13.2.1

[slate swan]

can i run with vsc?

[quick brook]

Sure

That's what I do

[quick brook]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python if you need a guide

Feel free to reach out to me if you need help (just state that you are from the Python server and explicitly provide all of the materials and questions you need help with)

Better yet would be to ask your questions on the dpy server

[slate swan]

400 and 429 error on vsc 😋

[slate swan]

after many struggles i got it to work, thanks for your help! 🙏

[coral mirage]

Hello, I have a question. How I can connect Discord Bot with GS. That way I can use Google Sheet as a database. Those anyone knows the steps?

[sick birch]

Google sheets is not a database

[coral mirage]

I know, but I want to used as one. It's possible?

[sick birch]

Probably. Though not recommended at all
If you like the tabular format, use an SQL database. Even SQLite will be millions of times faster and easier to work with

[coral mirage]

I know, I use those db, but I wanted to do a favor to a mate.

It's just a google sheet that members can store rss and their information from a game.

[coral mirage]

He wanted as google sheets.

[sick birch]

Yeah, it's possible. Google sheets does have an API

[coral mirage]

I tried eveyhting, but I can't connect for a reason it keeps saying it doesn't have enough scopes. I authorize all scopes and still nothing.

[coral mirage]

Do you what could be the problem?

I created new credentials and tried the whole process again

[sick birch]

Does it say what scopes are missing?

[coral mirage]

no, my code says it's missing scopes.

[final iron]

Have you shared the spreadsheet to the account that's accessing it?

[coral mirage]

Yes

.json

[final iron]

What scopes are you using?

[coral mirage]

This ones

its as server account

when creating credentials

I share the email as well from credentials.json

[final iron]

Show that file

[coral mirage]

Error connecting to Google Sheets: {'code': 403, 'message': 'Request had insufficient authentication scopes.', 'errors': [{'message': 'Insufficient Permission', 'domain': 'global', 'reason': 'insufficientPermissions'}], 'status': 'PERMISSION_DENIED', 'details': [{'@type': 'type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo', 'reason': 'ACCESS_TOKEN_SCOPE_INSUFFICIENT', 'domain': 'googleapis.com', 'metadata': {'service': 'drive.googleapis.com', 'method': 'google.apps.drive.v3.DriveFiles.List'}}]}

[coral mirage]

I can show you my code to maybe is wrong.

However I dont think so

[final iron]

Sure let me see it

I'm going to bed, but just confirm you created the service account properly

https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/python

Here's a page from google on it

[coral mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/LSFQ

[coral mirage]

Roger, Thanks brother.

[final iron]

In your scopes try adding https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets

I'm also using a different library though

[quick brook]

Just go the proper way and use a db

Even if it's for your friend, I strongly recommend storing your data using SQL instead of gsheets. With gsheets, you will very quickly run into ratelimits and use the uses of your API key extremely quickly

I see no reason why not to use SQLite or Postgres in this case

[coral mirage]

Yeah I was thinking of doing that. I been breaking my head for the last 3 days.

Ima use sqlite in this case. However, I learn and I'm learnign something new with gs and python.

[quick brook]

Would recommend just using asqlite or aiosqlite and getting started with those instead

[coral mirage]

why? are they better then SQL?

[quick brook]

Bc with gs, you aren't really learning anything new

[coral mirage]

MYSQL

[quick brook]

They are SQLite drivers for python

[quick brook]

Yea MySQL is questionable

[coral mirage]

I use SQLite.

I'll check those 2 tho.

[quick brook]

Stdlib? Bc that one is blocking

[sick birch]

SQLite is the database engine
asqlite and aiosqlite are Python libraries that allow you to communicate with an underlying SQLite database

[faint rapids]

How can I host a discord bot online forever?

[quick brook]

Simple answer is u can't

[coral mirage]

rent one for 1 dollar a month lol

I use
sparkedhost.com

[faint rapids]

Is it free?

[coral mirage]

nop, but is super cheap.

[quick brook]

Even that host is known to be sus

My pick goes to Henzter

[coral mirage]

is that expensive?

[coral mirage]

OOH!

I need to learn those asap. To avoid blocks response.

but for my partner I'll use SQLite for him since is super light.

[sick birch]

Not much to learn. You're still using SQL that you're familiar with. You pretty much just stick await in front of the statements

[coral mirage]

lol, ok that was a quick learning.

[sick birch]

Also wrt hosts - DO's kubernetes is cheap (especially if you're a student) and you can run bots, web sites, pretty much anything

[coral mirage]

Alright guys thanks for you'll help! Have a goodnight !

I mean sparked has been good for me for over a year. I only pay 2 dollars.

[quick brook]

Gn. I pay $20 for mine since I'm running other software on my server as well

[slate swan]

bots can see user status right?

if so is it implemented w/ d.py?

[naive briar]

!d discord.Member.status this?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str) instead.

[naive briar]

[slate swan]

mhh yeah

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_cog

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

Adds a “cog” to the bot.

A cog is a class that has its own event listeners and commands.

If the cog is a [`app_commands.Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Group) then it is added to the bot’s [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree) as well.

Note

I want to learn discord bot in python. How can I start?

[hushed galleon]

if you want to use discord.py for your bot, check out their documentation and read the examples
others have more links they can provide, but there are a bunch of infamously outdated stackoverflow and youtube resources because discord.py has went through major changes recently

it's a pretty large library so start off with simple bots and gradually build up, and also if you're not too familiar with python, the most helpful thing to understand is object oriented programming since discord.py makes a lot of use of objects and methods (you can learn from the official python tutorial, find reputable youtube channels, or ask around for more links or books to read)
see also this gist on learning discord.py

[slate swan]

you connect to database each function call?

[formal basin]

Yeah

[slate swan]

so optimized

[fleet nymph]

hey

i need some help

[sick birch]

We can't help unless we know what you need help with

[fleet nymph]

i coded a bot

and i got this message "discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead."

but i gave it admin so this shouldnt appear right?

[final iron]

Read it

lmao

You’ve enabled an intent in your code that wasn’t enabled in the dashboard

[fleet nymph]

it has admin

[rapid knoll]

how do you get the user of a commands.Context (ctx)?

[formal basin]

does anyone know or atleast know with aiohttp

[final iron]

Intents are different from permissions

Literally read the error, and follow what it says

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.author

Union[User, Member]: Returns the author associated with this context’s command. Shorthand for Message.author

[fleet nymph]

i read it but i didnt know what intenses were

i thought its another word for permissions

[final iron]

Follow the instructions, enable the intents you need

[fleet nymph]

but thanks though

[obsidian fable]

is there any way to prevent buttons from expiring?

[naive briar]

Buttons don't expire

[obsidian fable]

but the interaction fails, is there any way to handle that?

[naive briar]

That happens when you don't respond to the button's interaction

[obsidian fable]

the button works, but it doesnt after some time

[slate swan]

maybe you set timeout to view

[naive briar]

Did you set its timeout? Because discord.py will not handle its interaction once it timeouted

[obsidian fable]

I dont think I did

[naive briar]

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

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

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

[naive briar]

The default timeout is 180 seconds

[obsidian fable]

I only did view = ui.View()

[slate swan]

then it will work for 3 minutes

[obsidian fable]

can I make it last forever?

[naive briar]

Set it to none

[slate swan]

set timeout to None

[obsidian fable]

let me see

[quick brook]

That's djs. It's not helpful in the context of dpy

[haughty quest]

I can’t copy it since it’s from an image, it doesn’t appear to look like a big L, is it an alternate version or something?

[quick brook]

do you have the emoji for it?

[haughty quest]

Nope, just that image

[quick brook]

then gl. just start with googling it up (it's an ascii branch or something)

[haughty quest]

Thanks, came here after about an hour of scouring the Unicode pages for it. Was hoping someone had the random knowledge already but I’m not surprised they don’t.

[quick brook]

np

more than likely it's a custom image they uploaded for an emoji

anyone know the thing to wait_for a button being pressed b4 moving onto da next part of da code?

if so just reply to this msg bc im going 2 bed ill respond tmrw

[final iron]

What library are you using

I hate the whole button wait_for implementation

It's so stupid

Doesn't make sense

[turbid condor]

Can't u use the interaction response for that should be better

[formal basin]

How would I connect only once?

           val = await redis2.exists(key)
           return val

how can I only connect once

make a connection pool reuse that

!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.

Why do you have bare try and excepts

Please elaborate on your problem instead of just saying "why isn't this working?" Provide a full traceback or an error report, otherwise we won't be able to help.

[fiery girder]

it just not detecting the reactuin

[final iron]

Remove your try and except block

[fiery girder]

i made try causei taught uts gonna give error if the message id not exist

just a sec i just opened my pc

[final iron]

Just do an if statement to check if it’s None

It shouldn’t be erroring if it doesn’t exist

[fiery girder]

i taught it will anyways

[final iron]

Taught?

[mighty pilot]

None is different than nothing

ok done lemme check it

still dont work

it still dont work idk whats the problem

[final iron]

!d discord.on_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_add

discord.on_reaction_add(reaction, user)```
Called when a message has a reaction added to it. Similar to [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_message_edit), if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add) instead.

Note

To get the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) being reacted, access it via [`Reaction.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Reaction.message).

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

Note

This doesn’t require [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members) within a guild context, but due to Discord not providing updated user information in a direct message it’s required for direct messages to receive this event. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add) if you need this and do not otherwise want to enable the members intent.

Computer counting starts at 0 not 1

[fiery girder]

this is the table it got 4 values

i am dumb af

[mighty pilot]

If you're looking for row 4 you'll use [3]

[fiery girder]

WHY AM I SO DUMB

anyways lemme check it now

[mighty pilot]

You want persistent views

[fiery girder]

it still dont work

this time it gave no error

it didnt have give the print

does the bot stop caring about old messages after it is restarted?

cause i thing thats the case

[noble crane]

What do you mean

[mighty pilot]

Here's an example

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

[mighty pilot]

What's your code look like after you took out try and excepts

[noble crane]

Yeah i can't seem to figure it out been trying for the past 2 hours lol

[mighty pilot]

To be a persistent view you need to have timeout = None and a custom ID. Then on startup you have to add the view to the bot like row 79 in that example

[noble crane]

This is the code i have so far could you possibly add it to this

[mighty pilot]

I cannot spoonfeed

You just have to give the view a custom ID and timeout of None then add it in your setup hook

Once you do that, it won't register a view you already have, but once you send it with those criteria it'll be persistent through restarts

[noble crane]

Ahhh man

I've been trying to do this for the past 2 hours

[reef trail]

consider going to the dpy server for more help

[reef trail]

the code here is already spoon feedy enough

[mighty pilot]

I agree. His examples are about as far as I'll go lol

[reef trail]

The dpy server also has a lot of tags that are pretty useful

[mighty pilot]

True

Your if should be if user != user.bot

That may be the issue
