[golden portal]

a specific emoji?

[hallow kernel]

All

Like
If they join but yet not passed the verification, they won't be able to use my emojis

[slate swan]

how can i add slash commands to my bot?

[golden portal]

here's an example and brief doc about it for dpy https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f

[golden portal]

well if it's the emojis in your guild, you can set em via Emoji.edit and exclude the everyone role in roles kwarg

[slate swan]

oh, thanks

Do you also have a doc ab reaction roles too by any chance?

[hallow kernel]

And only ones who have @ member (role given after verification) permission or higher will be able to use emojis from my guild on other guilds?

[golden portal]

noe

[slate swan]

okay

[golden portal]

yes, just include those roles by guild.roles[1:]

since guild.roles always contain everyone role, and it's the first element, you can slice it

[hallow kernel]

i dont mean
External emojis on my server
I mean
My emojis on other servers

[golden portal]

pretty sure if they dont have the role in your server it wouldnt work on other server as well

i forgot though so i cant test

[white citrus]

how can I make my bot an authorized app?

[rotund flame]

What do u mean?

[white citrus]

Like this

[rotund flame]

I only found this https://discord.com/blog/the-future-of-bots-on-discord

There is a Verified Bots topic

But dont say any requirements

I saw also that for a bot that is in more than 100 server it has to be verified to get in another one

[solar glen]

there isn't anything to show, i just need a way to make a url where it contains the bytes of a image or use some other method for again using bytes on a avatar

like if u wanna the read process of how im getting the bytes, ig here

#...
async def foo(attachement: discord.Attachement)
  contents = await attachement.read()
  # Processing...
  return contents

# When they want to execute a specific command
async def bar(data):
   # Making the webhook
   avatarBytes = ...
   # Processing...
   await webhook.send(avatar_url = avatarBytes) # Or some other method that i don't know for creating a avatar

[wicked atlas]

Authorized Apps are just a list of discord applications that you have given access to information about your account, which is done through oauth2:
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2

[white citrus]

Yeah so my quedtion was. How to Make it

[wicked atlas]

what for?

[cold sonnet]

self bot

duh

nah jk

[wicked atlas]

afaik you can't selfbot using oauth2

[cold sonnet]

I have no idea

[white citrus]

For Dashboard

[shrewd apex]

discord documents it's oauth flow how it works is u create a callback url in bot app which points to url in ur website and get users acess token and refresh token and use those to validate requests

[cold sonnet]

Asher writing a paragraph

[shrewd apex]

one para not enough to document discord oauth flow 💀

[wicked atlas]

that's why they have a whole page of documentation for it

[cold sonnet]

trenything is possible

[white citrus]

from discord.ext.ipc import Server

In a tutorial he use this. But i use nextcord. How is it called in nextcord?

[cold sonnet]

the what

is this new

[shrewd fjord]

its a thirdparty module no?

[shrewd apex]

what library is the tutorial using?

[shrewd fjord]

why would it even exist in python discord

[shrewd apex]

i have no idea haven't done discord bots in a while

[white citrus]

better-ipc

[cold sonnet]

bruh

[shrewd apex]

bro write your own implementation 💀

[shrewd fjord]

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

[shrewd apex]

u probably don't want to use pure python for a dashboard either

at best for backend api

[cold sonnet]

challenge accepted

[shrewd apex]

sure hab fun you have to resort to js for a lot of front end interactivity either ways

[cold sonnet]

did I not say challenge accepted

[shrewd fjord]

how would you even interact with a dashboard written in react with a bot written in python

xd

thats another challenge tbh

[cold sonnet]

write data in text file

[wicked atlas]

apis

[shrewd apex]

bro in ideal case you would have a common db between bot and website

[cold sonnet]

read data from text file

text file = db

[shrewd fjord]

just the db?

it wont solve your all problems tho

hmm maybe we can store bot token in both side

[shrewd apex]

depending on what data you want ideally the data can should be fetched based on scopes you asked for that can be done in website itself

[shrewd fjord]

yeah then just need to store the bot token?

[shrewd apex]

if you want data outside scope make endpoints or run a webserver along with your bot

depends on how you structure your project

[shrewd apex]

if the data you need is not present in scope then sure

iirc for plain oauth u dont need bot token right?

[shrewd fjord]

no, but yk you gotta list all servers that bot is in in mutuals of that user xd

[solar glen]

finally

[shrewd apex]

guild scope is there for that right

[white citrus]

Why?

[shrewd fjord]

there is but wait\

nah fk you just store the acces token 💀

brain not braining

[cold sonnet]

what brain

I got so lost when asher started talking

[shrewd apex]

[cold sonnet]

nah I was already lost when I saw discord.ext.ipc

[shrewd apex]

fair

[white citrus]

Can someone enlighten me xD

[cold sonnet]

nah bro you enlighten me first

is ipc already just your 3rd party lib

yeah that doesn't tell me none

[shrewd apex]

what are you planning to make your website in?

[white citrus]

Make a Dashboard for my Bot

[shrewd apex]

js, python etc what are u familiar with

[white citrus]

Python and html

[shrewd apex]

do you have a db?

[white citrus]

Yeah

[shrewd apex]

so pick some library like django or fastapi

[white citrus]

I have fast api

[bleak perch]

[solar glen]

uh? anyone?

[hushed galleon]

looks like uploading bytes is only supported during the actual creation of the webhook, but if you're already getting the image as a discord attachment, you can give the attachment's url as the avatar

[solar glen]

oki dokie

it kinda raises a problem

since i need the bytes to recustomise the webhook's avatar

i don't have a attachement

i only have the bytes of it

[naive briar]

Can you do it similarly to embed's attachment:// way? I wonder

[patent lark]

Can i invoke a subcommand from Jishaku Inside of another command?

@hushed galleon?

[fading marlin]

Flip the arguments around in your button callback:
(button, interaction) -> (interaction, button)

[vapid parcel]

Question, does anyone know if you can make your bot use an app command from another bot?

or would that be against ToS..? or is that even possible?

[fading marlin]

Not possible due to Discord limitation

[vapid parcel]

Damn.

not even if you used the command ID?

[fading marlin]

Nope

[vapid parcel]

Dang

That sucks ig

[fading marlin]

Most bots don't let other bots interact with eachother either way, so 🤷

[vapid parcel]

I mean fair

Just wondering if it was even possible

[stark nexus]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/OT7Q
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/QGDA

Anything could help me a problem with cog?

[final iron]

Error is extremely clear

I also don’t see why you’re awaiting an append method

[vapid parcel]

Is that possible? to have a boost channel? kinda like a welcome and leave message?

if so, whats the docs for it

[stark nexus]

When I deleted it
It will say it's not awaited

[sick birch]

Yes it's in your server settings

[vapid parcel]

im talking about discord bots, not for discord

embedding looks better compared to what discord does :/

[sick birch]

What's the problem, then? You just send the embed to whatever channel you want

[vapid parcel]

what event would it be?

we have on_member_join an on_member_remove now what about something like on_member_boost or something? which i know on_member_boost isnt a thing, so wondering a way to do it..?

[sick birch]

It's just an on message

[vapid parcel]

huh

how so?

[sick birch]

WDYM?

you get an on_message event when a server gets boosted

[vapid parcel]

I need the docs for how it detects a boost :/

[sick birch]

just note that the .type attribute has to be MessageType.premium_guild_subscription

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def on_boost(message: discord.Message):
  if message.type != MessageType.premium_guild_subscription:
    return
  
  print(f"{message.author} just boosted {message.guild}!")

[vapid parcel]

Okay, ty

[final iron]

What is initial_extensions

I don’t see why it needs to be awaited

It looks like a list

[patent lark]

so ive gotten myself in a bit of a rut here.

Im trying to disable commands per-guild IF the guild has not been configured. My idea was to use before_invoke and stop the command from completing there. I just cant seem to stop the command from executing though. Any ideas?

[stark nexus]

I was following this
https://youtu.be/rWfrdBAinvY?si=BsOS7awb_RPwPLDB

[final iron]

Or you could just answer my question…

[patent lark]

@final iron Do you have an input for this? Been stuck on it for a while

[naive briar]

Are you disabling specific commands or all commands?

[patent lark]

I would like to disable all commands. But my current method was just to disable the invoked command in before_invoke

[naive briar]

You can override the on_message event to only process the commands from the guild messages if it's in a list or whatever you're using to configure it

[patent lark]

Ah, never thought of this. Ill look more into it and come back once ive gotten some results

Thank you

[naive briar]

🐈

[glad cradle]

what if the server has disabled the boost message

[spark nimbus]

hey i am trying to do cogs but i cant really make it work
this is my main code:

import settings
from settings import *
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands
import os
import string
import random
import asyncio


intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.messages = True
intents.message_content = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=intents)


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{client.user.name} is running')
    try:
        synced = await client.tree.sync()
        print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
    client.remove_command("help")


for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')


client.run(BOTTOKEN) 

this is my command code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands
import random


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

    @commands.command(name="coin", description="Flip a coin")
    async def coin(ctx, choice: str):
      choices = ["Heads", "Tails"]

      if choice not in choices:
        await ctx.send("Please choose either 'Heads' or 'Tails'.")

      result = random.choice(choices)

      embed = discord.Embed(title="Coin Flip", color=discord.Color.gold()),
      embed.add_field(name="Your Choice", value=choice, inline=False),
      embed.add_field(name="Result", value=result, inline=False)

      await ctx.send(embed=embed)


def sutup(client):
  client.add_cog(coin{client})

[fading linden]

TIL

but now that I think of it, it make sense

useless ping sorry kek

[spark nimbus]

?

[slate swan]

sutup

Pointless to set messages and message_content to true as well if you already have intents set to all()

[spark nimbus]

saw that got it working

[slate swan]

And look at coin{client} again

[spark nimbus]

dont need help anymore

thanks

[slate swan]

And you should upgrade the library version, it's outdated

[solar glen]

maybe yes

[solar glen]

i think ik one unefficient and obvious solution

since i can't change the actual webhook's image. il just create a brand new webhook and delete it per iteration

i think it might work

but its really inefficient

i just wish i could input the bytes instead

for changing and not creating and deleting

nvm

i found a function and its webhook.edit

[vapid parcel]

So, when a bot does botname is thinking... an its animated, do you have to have your bot verified for that? Or how do they make it animated n stuff?

For example for Mee6 it would be Mee6 is thinking...

[golden portal]

error doesnt match the code

[fiery cairn]

full error:

[golden portal]

error still doesnt match the code, did you make sure to save the code before running?

[fiery cairn]

yep defo saved

[fiery cairn]

error defo does match the code

[golden portal]

now it's updated

[fiery cairn]

alr

so do you know how to fix it?

[golden portal]

Member is Guild specific, so you may try typehinting to discord.User instead

oh nvm they translated to the same thing in slash

[fiery cairn]

??

[golden portal]

when you do user: discord.Member, you're trying to get a member that is in the guild which makes no sense because you're unbaning them, they are not in the guild

[fiery cairn]

oh ok

so I just remove discord.Member

and then do I just do /unban their id?

[golden portal]

yes, typehint it to str and then use discord.Object, ```py
async def unban(interaction: discord.Interaction, user: str):
await interaction.guild.unban(discord.Object(user))

[fiery cairn]

oh ok

[fiery cairn]

alr worked thank you

[golden portal]

alright welcome

[slate swan]

yeah but in the on_approve def, i want it to add a role to the member that passed the application. To do that i didawait member.add_roles("Waiting for Interview")

but "member" isnt defined

you have defined it but its in another class

i tried to define it in the on_approve def as member = interaction.user but the bot think that member is the user that interacted with the approve message

[golden portal]

you completely missed the point of that example, you can access the member by self.member
see how the data flows through from 1 class to another

[slate swan]

ΟΗ

[golden portal]

essentially, ```py
role = discord.Object(ROLE_ID)
await self.member.add_roles(role)

[slate swan]

silly me

genius you

is this correct

?

[naive briar]

Try it

[slate swan]

ok

[final iron]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[fiery cairn]

so interaction.user.roles?

worked thanks

[slate swan]

i also need the bot to send to the channel the application that the user submitted

so the manager knows what he answered

to approve or to decline him

[wispy pasture]

Hi, so i found this code on github:
https://github.com/DorianAarno/Minesweeper-Discord-Bot/tree/main
and i tried to update and change to code from disnake == 2.3.2 to discord.py, and if you have helped me before and remember me then you know it went very very bad.... so my code and error is in the sourebin down below:
https://sourceb.in/7q7c2LEnde (code)

[naive briar]

I dislike the naming already 🫠

[wispy pasture]

oh dw i am trying to transfer that code from disnake to dpy

ps i told clearly thats not my code 😂

[harsh orbit]

is httpx has blocking on discord.py like requests?

[glad cradle]

well

interaction.response is a discord.InteractionResponse object

and interaction.command is an app command object

[fiery cairn]

ok

[glad cradle]

you need to access their attributes to get useful info for logging

[fiery cairn]

so I can't run it in an embed

!d

[glad cradle]

!d discord.InteractionResponse

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse

class discord.InteractionResponse```
Represents a Discord interaction response.

This type can be accessed through [`Interaction.response`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.response).

New in version 2.0.

[fiery cairn]

Thank u

[glad cradle]

you can but @fiery cairn

[harsh orbit]

.

[glad cradle]

htppx supports async too https://www.python-httpx.org/async/

if you use the asynchronous interface then it'll be ok

!d discord.app_commands.AppCommand.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.AppCommand.name

The application command’s name.

[fiery cairn]

thanks

[glad cradle]

to get the name of the command

you can check the docs for these things

here there are all the available public attributes for the objects

[fiery cairn]

But so how do I also send the output?

[glad cradle]

wdym? the output of the command?

[fiery cairn]

Like to get also send in the logs what the command output was

nvm

Swap the positions of the button and interaction parameters in your button callback

[fiery cairn]

Ok

Thanks

[final iron]

It's just confusing

[shrewd fjord]

what confusing?

[naive briar]

What if you want to set c without setting b first?

def a(\, b=0, c): ...

[shrewd fjord]

i mean now the args are positional only it makes sense here

but what about nothing, no * or no /

wait its a back slash

[naive briar]

Since then there will be no restrictions on how the caller provides the arguments

It's probably get confusing for the interpreter

*It'd

[shrewd fjord]

hmm, fair

[slate swan]

Then I'll put c before b

how to handle the fact that the user does not specify anything in the chanel and message arguments when using the !announce command (not /announce)

[slate swan]

Set a default value to None, or ask the AI you've already asked

[vague junco]

I specifically removed `None' so that when using the application command, arguments are mandatory

And what makes you think I stole the code?

[slate swan]

It's fairly obvious.

Anyways, you can check the value these parameters have if you don't provide them in prefix commands, and then compare these in the future

This still doesn't answer the question

What is bot

No?

This literally doesn't answer my question

What is bot. Is it a local file, module etc

[vague junco]

just replace your token in this file, and run through it...?

[final iron]

Could you show your file structure?

No

Shift + windows key + s

It'll be saved to clipboard and you can paste it in

???

[vague junco]

import discord

TOKEN = ''
bot = discord.Client(commnds_prefix='!', intents=discord.Intents.all())

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{bot.user} is now running!')

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return

    username = str(message.author)
    user_message = str(message.content)
    channel = str(message.channel)

    print(f"{username} said: '{user_message}' ({channel})")

[slate swan]

How to make bot 101

a. Enable all intents, very important
b. Make sure to name your bot variable client, and alternatively your client variable bot

[vague junco]

ahhaha

🤓

[slate swan]

Oh and
c. Make sure to str() everything, and then use f-strings so that it's done twice

[vague junco]

simply

[vapid parcel]

Can anyone help..?

[final iron]

No

[vapid parcel]

Why?

[final iron]

Why would discord restrict thinking events to verified bots only? A user typing isn't really a privileged event

[vapid parcel]

It was a question..?

Idk why you gotta be a dick abt it..?

[final iron]

I'm not...

It's literally an explanation...

[vapid parcel]

Yeah, you say that but it's kinda a yes or no question, then explain how to do it, but you avoid what I'm asking... just wanted to know if it needs to be verified and how to do it..

[glad cradle]

that thing can be setted with a kwarg on InteractionResponse

[final iron]

No

Why?

Why would discord restrict thinking events to verified bots only? A user typing isn't really a privileged event

And you've already been told how to do it in the discord.py server

So I didn't see the need to repeat it

[glad cradle]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

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

Defers the interaction response.

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

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[vapid parcel]

I do both servers to make sure..?

[vapid parcel]

Cuz sometimes they give a different point of view that's why..?

Or explain it differently.

[final iron]

I mean the docs explain it all

And I don't see why there would be a different point of view as it's just True/False being passed to a kwarg

There really isn't any other way to do it

[vapid parcel]

I mean I've gotten 2 different point of views multiple times

[final iron]

This is literally the only solution

[vapid parcel]

Yeah, but I didn't know that, I wanted to make sure 😭

[final iron]

Sure, but there's absolutely 0 reason to call me a dick

[vapid parcel]

I already explained why..

[final iron]

This?

[vapid parcel]

From my pov it just seems like you were being a dick, sorry I called you a dick, but from my pov it just looks like you were.

[final iron]

You asked a question, I answered and then clarified

[vapid parcel]

I'm talking abt before :/

Like I said, I'm sorry, but from my pov it just seems like you were trying to be a dick.

[final iron]

And that was wrong

Just avoid calling people dicks in the future, for any reason really

[vapid parcel]

I mean I could say worse 😭😭

But I have no reason, and no one should tbh, but like I said, I am sorry for calling you a dick.

Hi im having trouble whit a leave longing system. When i leave the server the on_member_removed event docent respond to the event
Code:

def add_score(member: discord.Member, amount: int):
    if os.path.isfile("./data/Leave.json"):
        with open("./data/Leave.json", "r") as fp:
            data = json.load(fp)
        try:
            data[f"{member.id}"]["score"] += amount
        except KeyError: 
            data[f"{member.id}"] = {"score": amount} 
    else:
        data = {f"{member.id}": {"score": amount}}
    with open("./data/Leave.json", "w+") as fp:
        json.dump(data, fp, sort_keys=True, indent=4)

def get_score(member: discord.Member):
    with open("./data/Leave.json", "r") as fp:
        data = json.load(fp)
    return data.get(f"{member.id}", {}).get("score", 0)

def in_channel(*channels):
    def predicate(ctx):
        return ctx.channel.id in channels
    return commands.check(predicate)

@client.event
async def on_member_leave(member):
    await add_score(member, 1)
    print("Leave")

[final iron]

on_member_leave doesn’t exist

[next heath]

oh is on_member_removed then?

[slate swan]

Nope

!d discord.on_member_remove

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_remove

discord.on_member_remove(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) leaves a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild).

If the guild or member could not be found in the internal cache this event will not be called, you may use [`on_raw_member_remove()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_raw_member_remove) instead.

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

[slate swan]

Search feature is pretty useful

[next heath]

Tnx

[young dagger]

How can you prevent users from spamming others DM on your Discord server?

[tender bobcat]

actively checking security tab if it have say suspicious dm activity

if there are, just turn off dm for 12 hours

*if there are a lot

[final iron]

Is that even available for bots

[tender bobcat]

i dont think so

[final iron]

So…

[tender bobcat]

but I don't think anything else can prevent spam dm

[final iron]

This is discord bot channel. It’s pretty obvious he wants a programmatic solution

[tender bobcat]

how do you programmatically prevent spam dm when the bot don't even know there are dm

[final iron]

It’s not possible

[tender bobcat]

yeah exactly, so I tell him the only possible solution

[final iron]

The whole point of having a bot is to automate tasks

Manually doing something like this, especially if it’s a security bot isn’t feasible

[tender bobcat]

except discord doesn't make an API for it, how terrifying

[final iron]

Yeah, so it’s not possible

[tender bobcat]

yeah, not possible with bot

[final iron]

That’s the whole point

[tender bobcat]

and seriously discord should do better at this

at least make an API, it is not that hard

[final iron]

There's currently a lot of features missing from the bot API

[tender bobcat]

yeah

[final iron]

Considering bots were, and still are the backbone of discord's ecosystem I don't understand why

[tender bobcat]

like when start typing is an event call, why not stop typing is an event call as well

[final iron]

Up until around 2 years ago it was extremely difficult to moderate exclusively through discord

Impossible for large servers

If there was raid and you didn't have a bot, then you would have to close the entire server manually

If you weren't there to do it you were SOL

[tender bobcat]

like when you try to make it easier for human to moderate, why not make bot easier as well

bot is way more effective

[final iron]

Yeah

It's getting better than it was, but it still sucks

[edgy plinth]

I'm trying to iterate through all the server roles in a command to appear as options.

Ive been stuck on this for a good time now, any solutions?

[tender bobcat]

yeah, literally if you marked flag on user on suspicious dm event, why cannot bot know it and do action automatically

[tender bobcat]

you can literally put discord.Role as input field

[edgy plinth]

damn

[tender bobcat]

and it will have all the role listed

[final iron]

For starters, discord.Interaction is a class

[tender bobcat]

in discord way

[final iron]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-type
These types can be translated to Python or discord.py types and used as typehints for slash commands.
STRING ->
- str
- app_commands.Range[str, min_length, max_length]
INTEGER -> does not support IDs
- int
- app_commands.Range[int, min_value, max_value]
BOOLEAN -> bool
USER -> in a guild, you will receive a member regardless of typehint, but it will not have presence data
- discord.User
- discord.Member
- Union[discord.Member, discord.User]
CHANNEL -> Union containing any number of these types is supported
- discord.Thread
- discord.abc.GuildChannel - all below
- discord.CategoryChannel
- discord.ForumChannel
- discord.StageChannel
- discord.VoiceChannel
- discord.TextChannel - text, news
ROLE -> discord.Role
MENTIONABLE -> Union with any combination of USER and ROLE
NUMBER ->
- float
- app_commands.Range[float, min_value, max_value]
ATTACHMENT -> discord.Attachment

Notes:

• Range bounds may be None to remain default.
  Minimum and maximum values can be found in the option structure above the list of types.
• Transformer can be used for any types not listed above.
  https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Transformer
• Parameters can be made optional by giving them a default value or typehinting as typing.Optional[X] or X | None

[tender bobcat]

yeah

way more detailed

[final iron]

guild is simply a property as discord.Interaction hasn't been initalized

[edgy plinth]

Nope

[final iron]

Yes you can

Show how you did it

!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.

[tender bobcat]

role: discord.Role

and you don't need choice

[edgy plinth]

nvm missed the R

[patent lark]

@final iron are you good with working with mongo DB?

[final iron]

Nah

Never touched it

I use sqlite3

[patent lark]

ah alright

[slate swan]

perhaps #databases would be a more ideal place to get help with Mongo

[grand bobcat]

is discord.py easier then discord js? I have more experience in python

[final iron]

Whichever language you have more experience in will be easier

[sick birch]

Not really. It's about the same level of difficultly, just in a different way

[wispy pasture]

Hi, so i found this code on github:
https://github.com/DorianAarno/Minesweeper-Discord-Bot/tree/main
and i tried to update and change to code from disnake == 2.3.2 to discord.py, and if you have helped me before and remember me then you know it went very very bad.... so my code and error is in the sourebin down below:
https://srcb.in/TFuckExYRJ

[shrewd fjord]

    async def callback(self, inter):
        assert self.view is not None
        view = self.view
        await inter.response.defer()
        if inter.user.id != self.ctx.author.id:
            return await inter.send("You cannot interact with these buttons.", ephemeral=True)

        b_id = self.custom_id
        if int(b_id[5:]) in view.moves:
            return await inter.send("That part is already taken.", ephemeral=True)
        if int(b_id[5:]) in self.bombs:
            await view.RevealBombs(b_id, view.board)

first of all if you are using discord.py there's no .send in Interaction iirc instead use
await inter.followup.send(...)

            if len(view.moves) + len(self.bombs) == 25:
                await inter.response.edit_message(view=view)

                await view.EndGame()

        await inter.response.edit_message(view=view)

you have already responded with the interaction using defer, to edit the message again consider using
await inter.edit_original_response(....)

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

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

Edits the original interaction response message.

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

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

[bitter tundra]

how do I make a button view that never expires

[slate swan]

A button never expires

It expires when you restart the bot

[bitter tundra]

I want it to work even if my bot restarts

[slate swan]

Idk if that's possible

Bot restarts = buttons restart

[shrewd fjord]

you have to make persistent view

!d discord.Client.add_view

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.add\_view

add_view(view, *, message_id=None)```
Registers a [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View) for persistent listening.

This method should be used for when a view is comprised of components that last longer than the lifecycle of the program.

New in version 2.0.

[shrewd fjord]

then use this to add the persistent view when bot starts

and for making a view persistent, you must pass timeout=None in the view and set a custom_id for every childrens in the view

[bitter tundra]

So I am specifying the userid on the custom_id when I create the view like this quit:userid where I want to check if the user's id who clicked the the button is same as userid, how do I implement this in presistent view?

[vocal rivet]

Is there a way to connect 2 clients in a single script?

[naive briar]

Yes

[vocal rivet]

How?

[naive briar]

Use asyncio's tasks system to start the clients by their client.start method

Either by asyncio.TaskGroup (python >= 3.11) or asyncio.gather or even manually creating and awaiting the tasks

[vocal rivet]

How would that work?

[naive briar]

!d asyncio.TaskGroup take a look

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.TaskGroup

class asyncio.TaskGroup```
An [asynchronous context manager](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#async-context-managers) holding a group of tasks. Tasks can be added to the group using [`create_task()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.create_task). All tasks are awaited when the context manager exits.

New in version 3.11.

[slate swan]

how do i make my discord bot automatically send a message as soon as a ticket is made by ticket tool

[vocal rivet]

Thank you

async def main():
    async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as tg:
        task1 = tg.create_task(client.run(token1))
        task2 = tg.create_task(client.run(token2))```

Any idea why this isn't working?

[trail helm]

Does anyone know how to make my discord bot responsive?

[vocal rivet]

What do you mean?

[trail helm]

Like making my bot respond to discord messages

[vocal rivet]

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
  await msg.reply("Hello World")

Is that what you meant ?

[trail helm]

Yes, thanks

[vocal rivet]

Np, btw you'll need to add another line of code if you want your bot commands to function:

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
  await msg.reply("Hello World")
  
  await bot.process_commands(msg)

[slate swan]

how do i make my discord bot automatically send a message as soon as a ticket is made by ticket tool

[naive briar]

@vocal rivet That's because the client.run is just a normal, not a coroutine (not awaitable basically). I told you to use the client.start that is awaitable

!d discord.Client.start

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.start

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

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

[vocal rivet]

Oo ok

[vocal rivet]

@naive briar

[naive briar]

What?

[vocal rivet]

Not working

[naive briar]

You're not even running the main function you defined

[vocal rivet]

Oh shit

Should I call it at the end of the script?

[naive briar]

Yes?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.is_owner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.is\_owner

@discord.ext.commands.is_owner()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check) that checks if the person invoking this command is the owner of the bot.

This is powered by [`Bot.is_owner()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner).

This check raises a special exception, [`NotOwner`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NotOwner) that is derived from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure).

[lyric sigil]

Do someone know how can i make a uptime command ?

[lunar vector]

.

[slate swan]

Save the time in a bot variable when the bot started

In the command get the difference between the time now and the saved start-up time

[brazen raft]

At the end of setup_hook, save time.perf_counter(). The command can call it again and subtract the saved time from it to get how long it's been since then in seconds

[naive briar]

!d time.monotonic more like

[unkempt canyon]

time.monotonic

time.monotonic() → float```
Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a monotonic clock, i.e. a clock that cannot go backwards. The clock is not affected by system clock updates. The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the difference between the results of two calls is valid.

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

New in version 3.3.

Changed in version 3.5: The function is now always available and always system-wide.

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

hey people.... one thing is
followup.send

but i want to edit my message.... what was the followup for edit?

[slate swan]

someone tell me how to make buttons work even after restarting the bot?

[wispy pasture]

on your on ready event; add your button class view (i might be mixing up the function name)
but like this:
lets say i have a button named as ratings i would do:

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is ready!")
    bot.add_view(ratings())```

[slate swan]

i have a lot of buttons

[wispy pasture]

welll.... until what i know, thats the way.... or a big shot might or might not work:
add all the buttons in 1 class view (again i might be saying the wrong function name) and add that class view in the bot ready event

[stark nexus]

Anyone can help me with this?

[burnt idol]

is there any way i can select which buttons to display on first line( or does discord chooses that by itself)
like i want to be able to show 1 button on line 1 then 2 buttons below it!

[bitter tundra]

In persistent view how do I check if the user who clicked the button is same as the user who ran the command?

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

@discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button) being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button) manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

alright listen up. I am attempting to build my own bot, I have decently good experience in coding in python so i want to use that, i boot up servral tutourials to see its all generally the same method Install Discord.py. ...
Create a Discord Application and Bot. ...
Create a Discord Guild (Server) ...
Add the Bot into the Server. ...
Code the Bot.

simple

so i boot up visual studio code (python ver. 3.11.6) and get to work

problem

its not connecting to the bot

[naive briar]

Are you running the bot instance?

[velvet tinsel]

its just another way of saying "Okay."

And also - how would I time a command? Like, let's say I have

async def foo(ctx):
  timer.start()
  # some command here...
  timer.end()
  await ctx.send(some_result_here + "(executed in %s seconds)" % timer)

[velvet tinsel]

what sort of error are you getting?

[slate swan]

well first it was basic syntax (missing 'intents' in such) but after i fixed that i keep getting certificate verification errors

im good but not that good, so i have no clue what this means

[final iron]

You shoudnt be doing this in on_ready, especially recommending it

[velvet tinsel]

ah, you have to put intents into your commands.Bot. So like, bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=..., intents=discord.Intents.all()) or whatever intents you have enabled.

@velvet tinsel How would I time a command?
Use the time.perf_counter or time.monotonic, for example:

import time

start_time = time.perf_counter() the
# do something
print(time.perf_counter() - start_time) # print the elasped time

[final iron]

You shouldn’t be using all(). Nobody needs every single intent. It’s a massive waste of resources

[naive briar]

I can't edit or reply to messages, so you know

[velvet tinsel]

it's just an example.

[velvet tinsel]

oof, what happened?

thats exactly what i did, but the problem is the code is not connecting to the dev api for some reason

[final iron]

Is there an error

[slate swan]

like the bot wont go online

[naive briar]

@velvet tinsel probably

[final iron]

Doesn’t answer the question

[naive briar]

I'd opt-out from it at some point

[slate swan]

[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]

this one

[velvet tinsel]

Uhh, well, if you send the ✨ emoji, click down on it to zoom in, and hold down on the enlarged emoji you should go back to default.

[naive briar]

New layout, I know that

And I hate it

[turbid condor]

It's weird

[velvet tinsel]

and also- your code just kills the command for me 😭

I'll look into time.monotonic, though

[naive briar]

Why?

I used that method many times to time my scripts

The edit button is back!

[brazen raft]

Calling time.perf_counter shouldn't cause the application command to fail

It was caused by something else

[velvet tinsel]

there's no errors, it just... doesn't respond.

[brazen raft]

Using time.monotonic won't fix your problem

[brazen raft]

Have you applied an error handler to it to see the problem?

[slate swan]

Anyone that knows a method to make buttons work even after restart? (Except for this method)

[brazen raft]

For future records, setup functions should be performed in discord.Client.setup_hook, not in that event

[final iron]

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

[brazen raft]

I think buttons are always attached to views, so that method seems the simplest. At least, simpler over #discord-bots message

[brazen raft]

Is that module part of discord.py?

[final iron]

It’s not a module…

[brazen raft]

Well, is that file part of the package for use?

Could be cool to have

[final iron]

No?

[slate swan]

Anyone?

[slate swan]

?

[brazen raft]

The SSL or TLS certificate verification failed

[slate swan]

Up here

[slate swan]

SSL

Fix?

[brazen raft]

That's odd

[slate swan]

Cause I’m not exactly fluent in connective Wi-Fi terminology

Or https for that matter

[brazen raft]

To begin diagnosing, have you downloaded any other packages besides discord.py using pip? It should be the only package you need to develop Discord clients/bots in discord.py

Many tutorials out there are outdated and use forks or alternative packages for features the current version of discord.py now has

[slate swan]

I don’t remember installing anything else

[brazen raft]

That's not an issue that happens with discord.py that I know of

Are you using any other networking module?

I know discord.py uses aiohttp under the hood, so are you using aiohttp for other uses?

[slate swan]

You know it might just be that

[brazen raft]

Using aiohttp isn't a problem in itself

[slate swan]

I’m gonna go check rq

[brazen raft]

Using aiohttp to communicate over HTTPS and providing a problematic SSLContext is more like the problem you're having

You always need to provide a valid context for that purpose

No matter whether it is aiohttp or any other Python tool which does that

[hushed galleon]

a full error message would be more useful, but if you happen to be on macos and the error message looks like "unable to get local issuer certificate", here's a tag commonly sent in the discord.py server:

Getting [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] on Python 3 on OS X?
Navigate to your Applications/Python 3.X/ folder and double click the Install Certificates.command to fix this.
Happy coding!

[hushed galleon]

they linked an official example of persistent views using client.add_view(), which ive also written a small guide for it a few days ago:
https://gist.github.com/thegamecracks/0f9ab7ad3982e65ff4aa429acb39cc4e

[brazen raft]

They wanted a way without using client.add_view

[final iron]

Not possible.

[slate swan]

alright, File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages/aiohttp/connector.py", line 982, in _wrap_create_connection
raise ClientConnectorCertificateError(req.connection_key, exc) from exc
aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorCertificateError: Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)')]"

[hushed galleon]

yup, but i would recommend against attempting to handle message components manially

[brazen raft]

Tell them about it

[final iron]

You could store all the views in a sequence and loop over it, but you eventually would have to add it as a view

[brazen raft]

Handling it via events and such can be a cool thing to have in the package

[hushed galleon]

aight looks like the tag i sent is appropriate for your situation

[slate swan]

right

[hushed galleon]

i mean you can do it right now with on_interaction, it's just very inconvenient

[brazen raft]

Then a handling system which sits on top of it for updating specifically

[final iron]

I don’t see why using an event is easier. It’s more messy, and it doesn’t really make sense

Callbacks are so much easier to work with

[slate swan]

IT WORKED

HAHAH

(happy tapdance)

@hushed galleon @brazen raft thanks guys

[brazen raft]

Event handling with callbacks is the usual way it works in discord.py, no?

[hushed galleon]

thats what views are, they dispatch the correct callbacks based on the message ID + custom ID, although the lack of dynamic custom ID support is a limitation of views

[slate swan]

its always the most simple of fixes that get me

anyways

BACK TO THE VOID!

[brazen raft]

Do either of these ID change without specifying a view as persistent?

[brazen raft]

What kind of OS has no trusted certificate store?

Oh it needs to be explicitly enabled for Python on that OS

[hushed galleon]

err, views are normally used for individual messages so i guess that changes? however if you dont specify a custom_id for your component, dpy generates a random string for you

[shrewd fjord]

but you have to pass a particular custom_id in order to make the view and its components persistent

[brazen raft]

What does client.add_view do to keep a view persistent?

[velvet tinsel]

theres no fucking way im having difficulty with JSON files

[brazen raft]

Are custom IDs a concept of discord.py?

[brazen raft]

Like?

My bad

That's off-topic

[final iron]

Without it the client isn’t made aware it’s an active view

[slate swan]

No, Discord

[brazen raft]

Does it implicitly trust the message provided by message_id to "keep the components state as last time" for the purposes of "using the same view after restart"?

In any case, this just means discord.py doesn't provide something like a PersistentView class to handle view changes neatly

for persistent views

Is there a setup_hook equivalent method for views?

Oh, I guess __init__ or something

Nah, that isn't called on add_view

Something that's called by add_view

[hushed galleon]

Are custom IDs a concept of discord.py?
basically as part of discord's API, every component must have a custom ID which discord sends to your bot so you know which component on a message was used
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#custom-id

What does client.add_view to keep a view persistent?
internally, discord.py manages a mapping of component callbacks
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/ui/view.py#L531-L532
when you send a message, all the view's callbacks are registered with your client so the next time it receives an interaction, it can lookup the corresponding callback
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/abc.py#L1564-L1565
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/state.py#L741-L746
client.add_view() simply registers those callbacks in the same way:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/client.py#L2716

Does it implicitly trust the message provided by message_id to "keep the components state as last time" for the purposes of "using the same view after restart"?
yes, if you change a component's custom ID externally from your client object, dpy won't be able to lookup the correct callback
although in theory the exact parameters of those components don't have to be the same, i.e. if you were to change a button's style or throw away a few options from a select menu but you don't change their custom ID, dpy can still dispatch the view afterwards

In any case, this just means discord.py doesn't provide something like a PersistentView class to handle view changes neatly
i don't see why they need to? only your bot can edit the components so it shouldn't expect them to change out of its control

[brazen raft]

Oh I skipped over the first line about message components in the developer portal. My bad

Or, I guess, good learning for me

I thought they were something like message attachments which could be edited by other applications

Actually is even that possible

🤔

Possible. In any case, good to know

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

[brazen raft]

Are the line with persistent_view_added = False and the line with async def on_ready(): in the same file?

[hushed galleon]

users can delete attachments from someone else's messages? i havent noticed that being a thing, only just suppressing embeds

[brazen raft]

To remove or replace files you will have to supply the attachments field which specifies the files to retain on the message after edit.
from: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#edit-message

[brazen raft]

Never mind:

Other users can only edit flags and only if they have the MANAGE_MESSAGES permission in the corresponding channel.

[white citrus]

Yeah

[brazen raft]

Are they under the same function directly?

[white citrus]

Ig yes

[brazen raft]

Are they both under that main function directly?

Not inside some sort of an inner function

[white citrus]

Didnt i posted the code?

[brazen raft]

It won't raise that exception if this is the case

[hushed galleon]

because you have the assignment persistent_view_added = True in your on_ready function, python assumes persistent_view_added is a local variable, i.e. a variable that only exists in that function
in other words, python is ignoring your persistent_view_added = False declaration, hence why python thinks the variable isn't defined when it tries running if persistent_view_added:
in your case, you need a nonlocal declaration to tell python that it should refer to the variable in main() instead: py def main(): persistent_view_added = False def on_ready(): nonlocal persistent_view_added if persistent_view_added: # now python knows to use the definition in main persistent_view_added = True see also: https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#faq-unboundlocalerror

[brazen raft]

I'm gonna need to see the entire function definition

[white citrus]

Oh thanks. New learned stuff today. Thx

[brazen raft]

Oh I didn't catch that

Um

[white citrus]

not bad. you helped too thx

[brazen raft]

I didn't know Python's variable declaration worked like JavaScript's let

I thought it looks for the name in the local scope and then in outer scopes until it finds or raises a NameError exception

But I didn't know it firstly checks whether it is assigned later on in the local scope

[hushed galleon]

in python that's called a free variable, which is assumed if your function uses a variable but never assigns to it (hence why the first example in the earlier FAQ link works)

[white citrus]

How should I pass the arguments now? just with None?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\domin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\nextcord\client.py", line 497, in _run_event

TypeError: TicketMain_One.__init__() missing 7 required positional arguments: 'guild_id', 'header', 'textbox', 'button_one', 'f_re', 'channel', and 'category'```

[brazen raft]

Python checking whether a function makes an assignment to a variable is news to me

[hushed galleon]

err, usually whatever arguments you passed to the view before your bot restarted

[brazen raft]

I feel like some of these can be fetched from add_view's message_id argument

[white citrus]

Not only one server has the view but many more

[hushed galleon]

yup, thats the hard part

that's usually where a database comes in, so you can store whatever information is necessary to create your views with the same parameters as last time

[brazen raft]

Does your bot send tickets regarding different guilds and such, or does it suffice to get this information from the view's message?

[white citrus]

I saved custom ids for the button as well as the message id and guild id

Is this enough?

[hushed galleon]

iunno, can you retrieve the original arguments for each view's guild_id, header, textbox, button_one, f_re, channel, and category with just that?

[brazen raft]

Can you use these IDs to get all the information for all the parameters of the view's constructor?

[hushed galleon]

if it's not possible or it would be unnecessarily complicated, you should either remove parameters that you don't really need and/or store the parameters that you definitely need in your database

[brazen raft]

remove parameters that you don't really need
to know on construction

[white citrus]

I can use the custom id to get the message id and the guild id

[white citrus]

No

Not yet

[brazen raft]

I can use the custom id to get ... the guild id
What about the rest of the parameters you pass into the constructor? There are seven in total, guild_id is only one of them

[white citrus]

Is stored in a other table

But i can change it

Gime a sec

[brazen raft]

If these are stored in the database, you need to query that info, too, to add the persistent view. The question is whether they can be fetched after constructing the view so you don't have to do that

[mental hollow]

how do I add roles to a user using role IDs

[hushed galleon]

Member.add_roles() accepts any snowflake, so discord.Object(1234) would be how you'd add a role to them with only the ID
(although usually you can use Guild.get_role() too if your bot's cache is ready and you have the guilds intent enabled)

[mental hollow]

thank youu

[mental hollow]

wait doesn’t it take a list

[hushed galleon]

*roles denotes a variadic parameter, meaning it can take any number of arguments

[mental hollow]

await member.add_roles([discord.Object(123), discord.Object(456)]) would that work

[hushed galleon]

err no, you have to either pass them as separate arguments (i.e. member.add_roles(discord.Object(123), discord.Object(456))) or unpack the list using the * operator: py snowflakes = [discord.Object(123), discord.Object(456)] await member.add_roles(*snowflakes) see also: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#arbitrary-argument-lists

[mental hollow]

oh okay, tyyy

[white citrus]

Is there an example ? Should i Loop it for each Massage id?

[brazen raft]

An example for what about it? I talked about doing many things in that message

[slate parrot]

anyone know why this is happening?

why was my code deleted

[slate parrot]

i have code where i try to make my bot stay online by sending a message every thirty seconds and i think thats the issue

# staying online
async def stay_online():
    staying_online = bot.fetch_channel(1166153894666186892)
    try:
        await staying_online.send("Staying online!")
    except:
        pass
        
schedule.every(30).seconds.do(stay_online)

while True:
    schedule.run_pending()
    time.sleep(30)```

OOOPS i think i found the issue

nvm

[brazen raft]

Bots stay responsive as long as they are run. There is no need to use them for this purpose, and it's certainly advised against when they're offline

[slate parrot]

yeah thats the thing my bot hosting server was on uptime for three days and the bot goes offline if no one is active on the bot

and i dont want it to go offline so it bothers me

and im trying to program something else

that uses the schedule package

so the bot needs to be online for it to work

[brazen raft]

You can take a look at Replit's template for a discord.py bot with a "keep alive" mechanism

It or something like it may work on your hosting server

[slate parrot]

if u can send me the link it would be appreciated but can you please tell me whats wrong here

[brazen raft]

I recommend setting your hosting server to not go offline every thirty seconds to begin with

[slate parrot]

nooo not the hosting server the actual bot itself like i check the console sometimes and it says stuff like "client reconnecting in 700 seconds"

[brazen raft]

Discord.py doesn't do this

[slate parrot]

idk why its happening to me then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brazen raft]

An output like "client reconnecting in 700 seconds" could only be logged by the program

If not by the program, who else knows you're running a client program?

[slate parrot]

thats not exactly whayt it says its like

"discord.client" with a big red "ERROR" next to it and it says that

the "ERROR" is to the left of it

im using https://bot-hosting.net

and their servers are pterodactyl servers

[brazen raft]

Seems like it's logging a scheduled reconnection as an error

[slate parrot]

yeah and it gives me warnings saying something about webhooks or sockets or wtv?

[brazen raft]

The only time I can think when this may happen is when the internet connection is problematic enough to cause disconnection

So discord.py tries to reconnect

[final iron]

This is a terrible host who iirc uses a shared IP

[brazen raft]

The other reason for being terrible is causing an unstable connection to Discord

If my suspicions are correct

[slate parrot]

?

what host should i use then

[slate parrot]

wdym uses a shared ip

[brazen raft]

Hosts with a shared IP address, as the name suggests, share an IP address for multiple hosted environments. You end up with the same IP address as other users, so if anyone makes the IP address be banned from connecting to a server, all of you will be banned from it

Usually, there's nothing you can do about it

[slate parrot]

wait so ur saying if someone ddoses the ip then my bot and everyone else with that ips bots will fail

[brazen raft]

Nothing except not contributing to getting banned by IP address

[brazen raft]

Correct

[slate parrot]

😐

what good bot host should i use cause i dont always leave my computer on

[brazen raft]

Well, I don't think communication using just the IP is denied. I think it's a combination of the IP + the port for your program, which is unique to you and isn't used by others

[slate parrot]

cause i want a free bot host that works

[brazen raft]

It's a problem when people attempt to DDoS Discord which then denies service to you all

[brazen raft]

No well-working hosting service is free

If it's not your personal computer, it's someone else's

[slate parrot]

https://autocode.com/solutions/discord-bot-hosting/

does this work

[final iron]

Why do you need all this discord bot hosting

Why can't you just buy a normal VPS

[brazen raft]

It says "try for free"

I'm assuming it's a well-respected service

Unless it's a free trial which lasts forever

[brazen raft]

Maybe, but it might not be free forever

[slate parrot]

cause im broke

[brazen raft]

Then you have to live with what you've got

[final iron]

These "Discord Bot Hosting Sites" are generally more expensive than normal hosting services

[slate parrot]

then please explain whats wrong with this

[brazen raft]

Yikes

[slate parrot]

im debugging it in vs code 2022

17.7.6

[brazen raft]

You don't need a third party tool for running periodic backgruond tasks in discord.py

from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(seconds=30)
async def keep_alive():
    channel = bot.get_channel(1166153894666186892)
    await channel.send("Staying online!")

Then, you need to start the task via keep_alive.start() on startup

or whenever you care to

It loops automatically every 30 seconds

[slate parrot]

so do i put in the keep alive function keep_alive.start()?

or do i do it like how i did the schedule.run stuff

[brazen raft]

The keep_alive task should never start itself

[brazen raft]

No

You need to manage startup functions in bot.setup_hook

[slate parrot]

can u show me how im a bit confused (im not a professional that much on python)

[brazen raft]

In your case, it's a matter of reassigning bot.setup_hook to an async def function

async def on_startup(self):
    keep_alive.start()

bot.setup_hook = on_startup
bot.run(...)

[slate parrot]

can i put this on a on_ready function

[brazen raft]

You shouldn't run startup logic in that function

It's not its intended purpose

on_ready may be called an unexpected number of times, including never, once or more

[slate parrot]

ok so make an async function to keep the bot alive then make another function that starts the loop? and set it up with bot.setup_hook?

[brazen raft]

You reassign bot.setup_hook with an async def function which accepts the bot as the first argument. That async def function performs startup logic, which as far as I know, in your case, calls keep_alive.start()

That should get the loop going

It won't stop your connection to Discord from turning unstable though

So it's unnecessary to begin with

[brazen raft]

If you do settle for this hosting service, which you've been suggested using cheaper and more reliable ones, you won't be needing it even if it has a problematic internet connection, which it shouldn't as an advertised Discord bot hosting service

[slate parrot]

if it stays like that ill explore a solution

[brazen raft]

Discord applications rely on a stable connection to Discord. If that's out of the question because of the hosting service, use a different one

Under normal circumstances, you don't need a "keep alive" mechanism

So you're periodically spamming #1166153894666186892 for no reason

[slate parrot]

well i mean the host runs off of coins

and i got the cheapest plan

and it uses 20 percent cpu max 😅

[brazen raft]

Test Autocode without a "keep alive" mechanism

That's when you know it has suitable connectivity

[slate parrot]

ok thank you

[brazen raft]

Limited CPU usage like this is a con

You would get this from bad virtual private hosts

[slate parrot]

and i have the argument??

[final iron]

show your code

[brazen raft]

Do you have bot.setup_hook = on_startup like I spoonfed you?

[brazen raft]

Also, you have my condolences for using that for Python development in general

[slate parrot]

look ok vscode pisses me off when i develop my bot so im using vs

[brazen raft]

Let me refer to the official documentations

[brazen raft]

Better alternatives exist

[wicked atlas]

setup_hook does not take any arguments

[brazen raft]

I didn't know it's a static method in discord.Client

I always subclass it so I can use it as a regular method

[brazen raft]

Just remove self

Make sure bot is never reassigned anywhere

[slate parrot]

how is it none

[brazen raft]

Replace bot.get with await bot.fetch

[brazen raft]

The channel either doesn't exist or isn't cached yet

[slate parrot]

😎

my only problem is this now

# tells us client is ready
@bot.event
async def job():
    for guild in bot.guilds:
        print(f"We have logged into {guild} as {bot.user}")
        await console.send(f"We have logged into {guild} as {bot.user}!")```

oh wait bruh

[brazen raft]

You need to move this logic to on_startup

You might want to implement sending the message to console in an actual single message instead of many

Rate limits are a thing with Discord

And discord.py respects them

[slate parrot]

it happens when im debugging my bot sometimes i think

i use ethernet too with 400 mgb

nothing wow

@brazen raft

[final iron]

This is some basic python

Your function doesn't return anything, and you never called it

[brazen raft]

I've been spoonfeeding him for this

@slate parrot It's time to take your time learning Python thoroughly before stumbling on things like this

[slate parrot]

bro ive been using python for about a year now

doesnt mean im gonna know everything 😒

[final iron]

Obviously not, but calling functions is some pretty basic stuff

[brazen raft]

This means you haven't learned basic Python for over a year now

You never want to rely on others to write code for you unless you pay them enough money

And paying money for work is against this server's rules

[slate parrot]

ok bro

[slate parrot]

bro ur not spoon feeding anything the only thing u "spoonfed" is how to work with tasks with discord py

i am not that experienced in python been working with python for a year now doesnt mean that ur spoonfeeding me everything if u tell me how to do something if im doing it wrong

[brazen raft]

I'm here to help with the project and I've already spoonfed you about using the library

I cut the line with spoonfeeding you about Python in general

Here are learning resources:

@brazen raft its been fifteen minutes and no socket interupptions or anything

wtv theyre called

so ye the code works

[brazen raft]

Good for you on finding a VPS with a stable connection to the internet

Although expensive

[final iron]

$19 for that host lol

Absolute scam honestly

You could probably get a 4 core VPS for like $12 a month

This one is dedicated

[grand kettle]

i prefer raspberry pis

[slate swan]

Anyone knows if there is a function like on boost event? And if yes can anyone make a quick example

[grand kettle]

did you look at the docs?

this might help if you're using discord.py
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=guild#discord.MessageType.guild_application_premium_subscription
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=premium#discord.MessageType.premium_guild_subscription

[slate swan]

Tbh i didnt thought of that im in to much stress to think right , thank you

[grand kettle]

yeah it's fine
we all do that

[slate parrot]

nah its the same host but except its been on an hour of uptime and it didnt give me a single interupption

[brazen raft]

It isn't the same host if the problem no longer occurs

[slate parrot]

yes it is

[desert kiln]

hello people

[slate parrot]

im not using a differnet host at all its the same server same host

[brazen raft]

Then having an unstable internet connection inconsistently is a sign of unreliability

[slate parrot]

bro its not internet connection the bot is running off of a server

its not running off of my computer

[desert kiln]

I have no idea what's going on

[brazen raft]

Servers are typically highly specialized computers

Failing to work with the international network is a big fat L

Though not unheard of and there are cases where this isn't necessary. Not in this case though

[slate parrot]

basically i wanted code so that my discord bot could stay online cause if no commands are ran and it idles it goes offline and keeps trying to connect back to discord but it cant i use a terrible host

[desert kiln]

Try Diva Hosting, they are free. And online 24/7, if you're only wanting to keep it online

[slate parrot]

hm ok

[final iron]

No, don't recommend that

Considering their billing page doesn't even work due to a cloudflair issue I can't imagine it's a good host

Also this is like exceptionally bad

"free hosting" does not exist outside of free credits

Everything will be trash

I don't understand how you don't have the 4 euro a month to pay for an actually good VPS

[desert kiln]

I've used it for the past 6 months, always been online, always fast, always worked

[final iron]

Anecdotal

Just because you had a "nice" experience, doesn't mean everybody will

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.Member.premium_since tbh please dont recommend this to users who want to invoke a custom boost event instead recommend this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.premium\_since

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC when the member used their “Nitro boost” on the guild, if available. This could be None.

[graceful haven]

Hi i dont know why it does this

could someone help

[harsh orbit]

in on_member_join event
How to check what the guild that user joined to cuz the bot in mor than 1 server

[robust fulcrum]

Show code

[graceful haven]

ok

[graceful haven]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4OBQ#1L1-L1

there

[robust fulcrum]

Where is the error , like line?

And consider using powershell to run python, the python shell doesn't support colored output I guess

[graceful haven]

i dont know

[graceful haven]

how do i find that

[buoyant quail]

Line 327. You are passing check=check but you don't have anything named check

[buoyant quail]

Learn python before creating bots ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[graceful haven]

so what shall i do

[buoyant quail]

Create that function and make there anything you need

[graceful haven]

how do i do that

im stupid

[buoyant quail]

def check(...):
   ...

[graceful haven]

where shall i put that

[buoyant quail]

In your code. And it's example function because i can't know what you want to do inside.

[robust fulcrum]

This is the output of seeing a random discord bot making blog on Google 💀

Or not learning python first

[buoyant quail]

Surely second
But it can be combined with first :D

[robust fulcrum]

Tbh I daily see atleast such 4-5 people

I would recommend them to learn python properly and then they are open to make discord bots

[graceful haven]

some more help theres cleary a config.json file and it says it cant open

when i try run it

[robust fulcrum]

The file not exists

If you wana create it , then open it with w mode

or r+

[buoyant quail]

It exists (i can see it in the left), but the path to it is incorrect i guess

The path to the file should be from the current working directory.

[graceful haven]

it works when i open it with python power shell

[robust fulcrum]

oops not seen , there are so many files lol

[graceful haven]

yep

[robust fulcrum]

Btw which extension you using for seeing such error?

[graceful haven]

python

idk

[robust fulcrum]

Try correcting path

[graceful haven]

by doing

[robust fulcrum]

Or use pathlib

I mean file path

[graceful haven]

how do i do that

[robust fulcrum]

from which directory you running your code?

I mean working directory

[graceful haven]

from the main.py file

[robust fulcrum]

Type it in terminal
pwd

And send me output

[graceful haven]

that

[robust fulcrum]

So you running from this directory , right?

[graceful haven]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

And config.json is in this dir? Or in any sub dir?

[graceful haven]

it is in that dir

[buoyant quail]

it's inside the Receipt Big Bot

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[robust fulcrum]

i am confused i guess

[graceful haven]

its not even my bot

the owner discontinued the bot

[robust fulcrum]

Try running your code from receipt big bot folder

[graceful haven]

bc he couldnt be asked to pay for hosting

[graceful haven]

how do i do that

[robust fulcrum]

Bro learn some basic commands

Like
cd

just cd into that folder and run the main.py file

[graceful haven]

ok

how do i run

[robust fulcrum]

Do you know about running python files?

[graceful haven]

is it run main.py

its been like 2 years since ive done anycoding

[robust fulcrum]

You should revise I guess

[graceful haven]

ye

[robust fulcrum]

Then try making bot

[graceful haven]

how do i run the file

[mystic marsh]

hmm

[mystic marsh]

which?

[graceful haven]

the main file

main.py

[mystic marsh]

On vsc?

[graceful haven]

no

[mystic marsh]

where then

[buoyant quail]

python main.py
maybe py main.py

[robust fulcrum]

python main.py

There is run button in vscode also

[mystic marsh]

yea its python <file dir>

[graceful haven]

ye but when i click that it show this error

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/343944376055103488/1167388029028159548/image.png?ex=654df1d3&is=653b7cd3&hm=b1cb51bd38bf0b2438bf8f2dae40b11c954e15fccaba57203c23f5906f2b205a&

[robust fulcrum]

press tab if you don't wana write full path 😂

[mystic marsh]

oh i wonder what u gotta do then

[robust fulcrum]

I already told you about it

[graceful haven]

ye

[robust fulcrum]

Its a path issue

[graceful haven]

and how do i fix that

[robust fulcrum]

^

[graceful haven]

how do i open with w mode

[robust fulcrum]

Thats not issue

Bro pls revise , it's very hard to help in such way

[civic reef]

Any good resource to learn bot dev

?

[graceful haven]

i give up

i dont need anyway

[robust fulcrum]

discord.py docs

[civic reef]

Okay

[robust fulcrum]

i recommend not to look into blogs on discord bots

[mystic marsh]

right click on config.json and click copy path

[robust fulcrum]

Actually that's not main problem, he doesn't know python properly 💀

[robust fulcrum]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/
Try checking out this also , it's a good tutorial

[mystic marsh]

well he should learn it

@graceful haven ^
