[final iron]

What's the error

[fading pollen]

[latent jay]

Does interaction.edit_original_response() attachments arg have a maximum amount

[final iron]

try it and see

[latent jay]

Yeah I think it's 10

[final iron]

Okay, so test it then

[latent jay]

How could I added attachments to this pagination?

            KEYS_PER_PAGE = 10
            pages = []
            for chunked_files in more_itertools.chunked(files, KEYS_PER_PAGE):

            self.embed.timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow()
        else:
            self.embed.timestamp = None```

can someone tell me why if True the timestamp doesnt set?

[final iron]

If you print include_timestamp is it True or False?

[vapid parcel]

let me test

[final iron]

A modal also isn't great for True/False inputs

[vapid parcel]

Include Timestamp: True
Setting timestamp.

Include Timestamp: False
Not setting timestamp.

[final iron]

Why are you showing 2 outputs?

[vapid parcel]

Show you what it does for Both True or False

[final iron]

I know what it'll do, I'm just saying it's not a good format overall

What if somebody says yes instead of True?

[vapid parcel]

then they are dumb?

[final iron]

Average Discord user is

[vapid parcel]

it states what to put 😭

[final iron]

Most users don't read carefully

[vapid parcel]

If they dont read, then its on them tbh

[final iron]

They'll see include timestamp and act accordingly

[vapid parcel]

Well, thats on them, im just trying to fix the issue :/

"label="Include Timestamp (True/False)","

[final iron]

.

[vapid parcel]

also says it twice, so theres no way they miss it :)

[vapid parcel]

I just showed you that it does?

[final iron]

You showed 2 outputs

So which is it

It cannot be both True and False at the same time

[vapid parcel]

If Include Timestamp: True then setting timestamp if False, Not setting timestamp..?

Thats if you put True or False..?

[final iron]

If you print include_timestamp is it True or False?

[vapid parcel]

oh, hold on

[vapid parcel]

Wait, im confused, its gonna go off of what the user inputs?

[final iron]

include_timestamp is set off the user input. You're having an issue where even if the user enters true then it's still not setting. Therefore, you need to pass the true value and print include_timestamp

[latent jay]

anyone know?

[slate swan]

You have to assume that users will find every way to break/abuse your program.

And handle such scenarios accordingly

Can someone tell me why it does this?

i just need help fixing it..

[shrewd apex]

what's your python version

[shrewd apex]

u would have to make your custom pagination system which handles attachments

a simple format could be {embed: attachment, embed1: ...}

[latent jay]

I'm using this https://github.com/soosBot-com/Pagination I think it's capable already?

[shrewd apex]

lemme take a look

[shrewd apex]

it doesn't handle attachments

[latent jay]

So there's no hacky way to do it besides editing the package

[shrewd apex]

its barely a package it's just a single file

i suggest you just make your own

its pretty easy to make one

[latent jay]

I already use that package for the rest of my commands

[shrewd apex]

subclass it then

[vapid parcel]

3.11

well thats what the server is running

On my IDE it worked fine which is 3.10.5

but i thought it would work for 3.11 too?

[shrewd apex]

it should

[shrewd apex]

can u link the source ur installing from

[vapid parcel]

Source?

[vapid parcel]

https://github.com/RejectModderss/dispie

that?

I think its more of the host... because my friend could clone it, an i can clone it... i will have to talk to my Manager about it so he can fix it.

My friend owns the Host, so I will need him to look into it I think..

[glad cradle]

read the error, you too cloned it successfully

[vapid parcel]

Yes i know it cloned it, but it isnt able to write to it

Which is a host error, not a github or anything else, just a host error 99% sure

[vale wing]

Make sure you ain't cloning it into already existing git repo

Also please run ls -ld .. in the dir you are running git in and show the output

[slate swan]

just -a would be enough

[slate swan]

How to run discord bots 24/7 for free in replit?

[final iron]

Replit isn’t a host and shouldn’t be used as one

[slate swan]

replit is a host anyway

[final iron]

It’s definitely not

[slate swan]

Nuh uh

[final iron]

Why would a host require you to setup a web server alongside your main application and ping it every 30s to prevent replit from disconnecting it?

That’s not normal

Keep alive is a workaround to a prevent replit created

[slate swan]

I could make a ping spam bot

😂

[final iron]

That doesn’t make replit a valid host

[slate swan]

And I don't care

[final iron]

You should. Most people aren’t going to help you “setup” replit for hosting

[patent lark]

😂 😂

[slate swan]

Are you just gonna be toxic or what

❓

[patent lark]

You're the only one being anyhwere near rude.

[slate swan]

I didn't do anything💀

[patent lark]

I assume you're a little kid, maturity must be new to you.

[slate swan]

It's already gotten to me

And I'm 15 years old so what are you saying?

[patent lark]

You're not mature.

[slate swan]

Yeah and?

Ok can we just stop ur kinda getting off topic

@patent lark If ur assuming I'm a lil kid them how old are you?

Bro why is the text like that

[patent lark]

Can you stop? You're getting off topic.

[slate swan]

I'm just asking💀

Who hurt u

[vapid parcel]

Bro said replit 😭

[patent lark]

😂

[vale wing]

Ain't no way drama in #discord-bots !

[slate swan]

😭

[vapid parcel]

That was my first text bro

[vale wing]

Replit drama

[vapid parcel]

did you not just see the drama...?

[vale wing]

Idk I just came

[vapid parcel]

That was my only text 😭

[slate swan]

I'm leaving this server this server doesn't respect me

[vale wing]

That's just one person, the regulars are okay

[patent lark]

If you read the above messages, you've succeeded to disrespect anyone you've spoken with so far.

[vapid parcel]

I would agree with this statement

[vale wing]

Except me ofc

[vapid parcel]

All you have done is be rude and disrespect anyone who said anything to you.

[vapid parcel]

Okay what do you mean? Im not a github nerd... i only use github to keep my source safe and to copy packages and make them custom...

ive only used github for like 3 weeks now 😭

[vale wing]

Do you have ssh access to that host

💀

[vapid parcel]

Thats crazy 😭

[vale wing]

Anyways do you

[vapid parcel]

I have full access on the host yes

[potent fox]

@vapid parcel we don't need to repost that. Moderators have handled it.

[patent lark]

<@&831776746206265384>

[vapid parcel]

Ty

[patent lark]

Oop

[vale wing]

Can you run the command I mentioned @vapid parcel

[patent lark]

Sorry for the ping.

[vapid parcel]

what command?

[patent lark]

I didnt know it was handled

[potent fox]

can you please change your nickname to something not invisible/unclickable?

[patent lark]

Sure.

[vale wing]

Moderators reacted within a fraction of a second

[patent lark]

There we go

[vale wing]

ls -ld ..

[vapid parcel]

Facts tho 😭

[potent fox]

thanks, appreciate it

[patent lark]

👍

[vapid parcel]

Hold on

so just do exactly ls -ld ..?

[vale wing]

Yeah in your directory that you are trying to run git

[vapid parcel]

Like this?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[vapid parcel]

it does nothing,..

[vale wing]

Well it should give output

Into stdout or stderr idk for sure

I don't think you can submit commands while it runs

[vapid parcel]

So turn it off?

[vale wing]

Prob

Idk that host

I prefer bare ssh ☺️

[vapid parcel]

Im just going with what i have

cant really complain, this host is free because my friend lets me use it...

plus im poor, so no complaining here :)

[vapid parcel]

But yeah, still not working...? the command doesnt work while off either.

[vale wing]

It should give output like this

[vapid parcel]

hold on

waiting for my friend to answer

to see how to run commands :/

[tulip frigate]

@vapid parcel @vale wing i think its a pterodactyl panel, it doesnt allow user commands

its just made to host specific stuff, nothing more

[vale wing]

Probably

To fix that you need ssh access definitely

[tulip frigate]

does it look like this?

[vapid parcel]

No

[tulip frigate]

could you show the settings?

[vapid parcel]

Would show the server address

[tulip frigate]

oh then

[vapid parcel]

Mine is just custom, but yea.

[tulip frigate]

well then

yeahh i think normal pterodactyl panels dont allow user commands

[vapid parcel]

hm

so the owner has to do it?

[tulip frigate]

the owner of the server yes

[vapid parcel]

Damn okay

[vapid parcel]

Well thats my manager, so we will just wait for him to respond ig

[tulip frigate]

yea

i mean either way it might be good to ask him bc i might be wrong too xD

[vapid parcel]

idk

who knows 😭

@vale wing

welp what does this command do

we will just have to do it manually. its a Docker (i have NO clue what that means)

[vale wing]

Shows directory permissions

[vapid parcel]

hm

starlight dpy, works, but when i do dispie it just wont work

[vale wing]

Docker is containerization service which is pretty cool

[vapid parcel]

So whats the trouble shoots here to fix this cloning thing..

@vale wing ^

[vale wing]

I cannot say for sure

Investigating this without direct access will be a pain

[vapid parcel]

:/

Well why does 1 git work, but the other doesnt?

that means the host supports the git? idk man im just really lost on what the damn issue is...

[vale wing]

Is git run outside of docker or inside

[vapid parcel]

imma be real, i have no clue, all i know is that i goes through the requirements, which its inside of requirements then it starts installing everything inside of requirements

what if i put the git inside of the startup command?

[spark nimbus]

Well I lost my mobile ssd so I think that it may be a nice time to try other libary to rewrite my bot. I thought of my trying disnake but bot sure about that. What do you think about these libary?

I used to code on d.py

[final iron]

Just use discord.py

[tulip frigate]

i mean discord.py is pretty much the best one to me: its very well documentated and literally 90% of the python discord bot coders are using it hence why many people can help with it

[final iron]

More than 90%

Downloads Last Month:

• discord.py: 6,800,000
• pycord: 17,000
• nextcord: 150,000
• disnake: 55,000
• interactions.py: 850

Not to mention the amount of git clones of the discord.py repository for the master build

[whole patio]

holy how many people use discord.py

i use that for my bots its pretty cool

[whole patio]

real

[final iron]

The majority

[whole patio]

oooookay...

[whole patio]

i only use mainly discord.py for my bots and i use interactions.py to add slash command interactions in those d.py bots

[final iron]

interactions.py is an extremely outdated and deprecated library

discord.py natively supports app commands, and has for a long time

[whole patio]

idk im not sure which one i use but it has something to do with interactions

im relatively sure i used to use int.py for one of them before i swapped it

[final iron]

All of those slash command extension libraries are deprecated as 99% of people removed them when discord.py added slash command support

[slate swan]

Discord.py only Has so many downloads cause its assumed being "main" library

For me personally i find nextcord and disnake the best

[final iron]

For which reasons

[hushed galleon]

interactions.py is a maintained and standalone library since their release of v4.0 <t:1639509540:R>, about 8 months before dpy 2.0 released, so really they were first in comparison

though goose's statement maybe implies they were using <=3.0.3? back when it used to be called discord-py-slash-command and imported as discord_slash, that or goose meant they were running both libraries alongside each other which is... definitely a way to do it

[final iron]

Last push was 2 months ago so extremely outdated was probably a stretch on my part

[hushed galleon]

you're looking at the stable branch, PRs go to unstable

so their last activity was a few days ago

[final iron]

Oh I didn’t even know it’s still active

I’ve actually never seen anybody use that library surprisingly

[hushed galleon]

hmm yeah, i guess their discord would be a better place to ask

[whole patio]

hi. i need some help with code

how do i add arguments to the @tree.command()?

from discord import app_commands

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
tree = app_commands.CommandTree(client)

@tree.command(name = "initiate", description = "Initiate the PyGoose command g4-sAB.GXC")
async def initiate(interaction):
    commandname = "g4-sAB.GXC"
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"`initiated {commandname}.`")

[final iron]

Same way as prefixed commands. You just add them as function parameters

[whole patio]

wdym

i need help

[whole patio]

i dont quite get it can u give an example

[final iron]

You add arguments to your function with typehints. Those'll then be converted to arguments for your slash command

[whole patio]

like how can you show me?
i want to use it with the options argument for the @tree.command() thing

[final iron]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.command

@command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, guild=..., guilds=..., auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
A decorator that creates an application command from a regular function directly under this tree.

[final iron]

Which options are you talking about?

There's options for select menus, but not slash commands

[drifting arrow]

How do I set a command to bot owner only again? lol

[final iron]

A slash command or prefixed

[drifting arrow]

slash

I forgot and cbf finding a bot that has owner only lol

too many discord bots ;-;

[final iron]

You'd have to manually check it iirc

[drifting arrow]

Found commands.is_owner()?

wouldnt that work on a slash command

[final iron]

commands

[drifting arrow]

😠

Fine. time to manually do it I guess

[final iron]

You can do it with an if statement in the command or a decorator with app_commands.check

[final iron]

It's legitimately like 2-3 lines of code required

[drifting arrow]

ya

[whole patio]

like how, do i declare them as variables like this?

@tree.command(name="test", description="idk ig this is a test", cmdtype = str)
async def test(interaction):
  #rest goes here...

[final iron]

No

[final iron]

You can see there's no cmdtype here

[final iron]

You can use

[drifting arrow]

psh

[final iron]

uh

[whole patio]

no, as in my variable is cmdtype. how can i declare one like that?

[drifting arrow]

ty @final iron

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.is\_owner

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

Checks if a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User) or [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) is the owner of this bot.

If an [`owner_id`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner_id) is not set, it is fetched automatically through the use of [`application_info()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.application_info).

Changed in version 1.3: The function also checks if the application is team-owned if [`owner_ids`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner_ids) is not set.

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

Changed in version 2.4: This function now respects the team member roles if the bot is team-owned. In order to be considered an owner, they must be either an admin or a developer.

[final iron]

You can call that, and return it

[whole patio]

i want the user to input an option into a variable of str type and then it returns something specific if it has a value of something

[final iron]

You would create an argument in the function named cmdtype and type annotate it to a str

[whole patio]

can u provide an example

pls

[toxic ibex]

alr so im trying to import things

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext

i have everything installed but for what ever reson it says no modual named discord_slash import SlashCommand

[final iron]

https://realpython.com/defining-your-own-python-function/#argument-passing
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py#L52

[final iron]

discord.py has natively supported slash commands for 2 years

There's no reason to use a 3rd party library

[toxic ibex]

oh ._.

then how do i get it when i press / to have stuff pop up?

what do i use to replace it?

this works the same as ctx.send... correct?

[naive briar]

What works the same?

[vapid parcel]

ctx.reply

to accept the interaction in a Hybrid

so no timeout

[naive briar]

Sure

[vapid parcel]

Okay, just making sure

[naive briar]

Wait, no

[vapid parcel]

Bruh

so it needs to be ctx.send?

[naive briar]

Yes, yes

[vapid parcel]

Yes or no 😭

So do reply or send?

[naive briar]

You'd already be responding to the user with the ctx.send if the command was an interaction

[vapid parcel]

Im wondering, does ctx.reply do the same thing

[naive briar]

No

[vapid parcel]

so it has to be ctx.send

[naive briar]

You'd just create another message to reply

[naive briar]

Yes

[vapid parcel]

So reply doesnt accept interaction, thats all i needed 😭

[reef tide]

using guild to create a text channel wont work within subcommands :?

or is there an issue somewhere else i keep getting the error that bot doesnt have id

[naive briar]

Can you send the error?

[reef tide]

indeed sorry im pretty new to the language

[naive briar]

Oh yes, bot instances doesn't have ids, but its account does

You can get the bot's account (or user) instance from the bot.user attribute

[reef tide]

ah says clientUser doesnt have the attribute create text channel either

[naive briar]

Because it doesn't. Maybe I should have explained it better

Are you trying to create a channel with a permission overwrite for the bot?

[reef tide]

wait

i think i understand now

yes oh my gosh i cant believe such a long headache was so simple

i am silly thank u!! @naive briar

[naive briar]

Don't worry about it

[void pumice]

How can we get discord user about me content in discord.py 1.7.3 version

[naive briar]

You cannot. Also, discord.py 1.7.3 is very outdated

[lofty pecan]

Little question, if I want a user to give a value between 0 and 10 (0, 1, 2, ..., 10), what's the best thing to do:

A user text input where they send a value in chat, but I have to make sure this value is within the range?

A series of button below the question that the user has to click, so I don't have to check the value. But I repeat this button process for the series of question the bot asks

[shrewd fjord]

Use slash command

With a integer argument

[lofty pecan]

I can't, it's already part of a slash command and I'm inside a if condition

[shrewd fjord]

Oh, then ig use chat input

I dont get a point using button anyway, it think button isnt bad either, its upto your choice

Something like create a range(10) amount of buttons with the label i and have a same callback for each then add the button to a View then use View.wait() ig its better

Can someone help us in #1176551390798155856

Kinda just needing help... we have no clue how to fix this in anyway.

[lofty pecan]

Hey so, I'm trying to dynamically create several buttons with value between 0 and 10 so that when a user click on one of them, it sends its value in chat. I've done this so far:

class StatButtons(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot, ctx):
        super().__init__()
        self.ctx = ctx
        self.bot = bot

    def create_button(self, value):
        return discord.ui.Button(label=str(value), custom_id=f'number_button_{value}')

    def add_buttons(self):
        for value in range(1, 11):
            button = self.create_button(value)
            self.add_item(button)

    async def interaction_handler(self):
        interaction = await self.bot.wait_for('button_click', check=self.interaction_check, timeout=self.timeout)
        await self.callback(interaction.component, interaction)
        await self.interaction_handler()

    async def callback(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"You clicked the button with value: {button.label}")

    async def on_timeout(self) -> None:
        await self.message.channel.send("Timed out")
        await self.disable_all_items()

    async def disable_all_items(self):
        for item in self.children:
            item.disabled = True
        await self.message.edit(view=self)

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        return interaction.user == self.ctx.author```

with a test command:
```python
@commands.hybrid_command(name='test', with_app_command=True)
    async def test(self, ctx: CustomContext):
        view = StatButtons(self.bot, ctx)
        view.add_buttons()
        await ctx.send("Click a button:", view=view)
        await view.interaction_handler()```

But every time it gives me **THIS INTERACTION FAILED**. Is there a way to fix that?

[slate swan]

there is no such event like button_click use button callbacks instead

[lofty pecan]

wdym by that

[slate swan]

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

thats how you create buttons and generally use views

[lofty pecan]

I'm trying to add multiple buttons using a for loop by the way

[slate swan]

i still dont see you assign callback to them

no wonder they do nothing when clicked

[lofty pecan]

how would you do that then

I kinda get how this works for one but when you have several like that?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.Button.callback

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.callback

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

The callback associated with this UI item.

This can be overridden by subclasses.

[slate swan]

or create a Button subclass and override the callback method

[lofty pecan]

huh

[lofty pecan]

I don't see any callback there either

[slate swan]

cause they use button decorator that assigns method its decorating as callback

[lofty pecan]

then do I just make the same thing expect I put a for loop in the init or somewhere else

problem is the label depends on the button pressed

so I can't just put a label in the decorator

[slate swan]

no like i said assign callback yourself or use custom subclass

if you want dynamic you cant use button decorator

[lofty pecan]

yeah I want something dynamic

[slate swan]

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

custom Button subclass ^

[lofty pecan]

I don't want to repeat the same button function 10 times that's kinda stupid

[final iron]

You can manually initialise the button class and set the callback inside your loop to dynamically create them

[lofty pecan]

# Button for character statistics definition
class StatButtons(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, label='\u200b')

    # This function is called whenever this particular button is pressed
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        assert self.view is not None
        view: OCStat = self.view
        view.stop()
        await interaction.response.send_message()


# This is our actual statistics selection View
class OCStat(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        for i in range(11):
            self.add_item(StatButtons())

I'm trying to make sense of the example in this context

it's just how to I get the label of the button pressed in the interaction.response.send_message()

[slate swan]

you need to get the number in button from the for loop

[lofty pecan]

then the init takes label as an argument

[slate swan]

[lofty pecan]

wait and since StatButtons is an instance of discord.ui.Button I just need to do interaction.response.send_message(self.label) ?

no wayyyyyy

but if I want to store this value in a variable how would that work

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/tic_tac_toe.py#L17-L18

[unkempt canyon]

examples/views/tic_tac_toe.py lines 17 to 18

self.x = x
self.y = y```

[lofty pecan]

so uh, like before, simply self.label ?

[slate swan]

what

just show code

[lofty pecan]

class StatButtons(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, label):
        super().__init__(style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, label=label)

    # This function is called whenever this particular button is pressed
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        assert self.view is not None
        view: OCStat = self.view
        view.stop()
        await interaction.response.send_message(self.label)


# This is our actual statistics selection View
class OCStat(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        for i in range(11):
            self.add_item(StatButtons(label=str(i)))```

    # Example usage:
    @commands.hybrid_command(name='test', with_app_command=True)
    async def test(self, ctx: CustomContext):
        """Starts a counter for pressing."""
        await ctx.send('Press!', view=OCStat())```

[slate swan]

and what is the problem about it?

[lofty pecan]

I want to save the label value selected when the button is clicked

not just send it in chat

[slate swan]

you want to save it where

[lofty pecan]

because I need it for later use when running a command

[lofty pecan]

local variable, then to a sqlite3 database

[slate swan]

why not just save it to database right away?

[lofty pecan]

because I ask the user several question, so several times he selects buttons, saves the value and then, ONLY THEN i save everything at once in the table

[slate swan]

you can create some dictionary in view

and save it to it

[lofty pecan]

wdym by that

[slate swan]

self.view["data"] = 123

[lofty pecan]

so simply self.view['data'] = self.value?

[slate swan]

actually

i missed it

its self.view.data["somedata"] = 123

and you have to define data dictionary in view

[lofty pecan]

mmh

I mean then it's an empty dictionnary

[lofty pecan]

self.view.data['somedata'] = self.value?

[slate swan]

could be

[lofty pecan]

mmh

dude

[lofty pecan]

it's easier than that

class StatButtons(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, label):
        super().__init__(style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, label=label)
        self.label = label```

lmao and then access the label value like that

[slate swan]

yeah like i didnt show you that already

[slate swan]

.

[proper cape]

How do I make the "/" commands actually show up when you type "/"

[lofty pecan]

lmao

[lofty pecan]

do you use @commands.hybrid_command(name='command_name', with_app_command=True)?

I think there is also a time where it needs to be updated in the list so give it some time

[slate swan]

sync them

[proper cape]

Sorry, but how?

This is my first time making a discord bot. Lol

[lofty pecan]

yeah but it's not an object of OCStat but of the StatButton

[slate swan]

you use discord.py?

[proper cape]

Yea

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

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

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

[hushed galleon]

only views should be sent with view=, but your TicketAddMember is a UserSelect component

assuming nextcord didn't change this, a quick way to put it in a view would be: py view = nextcord.ui.View() view.add_item(SomeButtonOrSelect())

[white citrus]

Thank you

[candid escarp]

Anyone an idea on how to make a AI support discord bot? Like a bot who replys to users questions and problems in a ticket like a supporter

[final iron]

Are you looking to train your own model or use an already existing one

[proper cape]

Ok, so, when I was making my discord bot, I decided to use a symbol "$" instead of "/", and now the only way that the new slash commands will show up is if I'm using the bot on my test server. Anyone know why?

@slate swan

[patent lark]

yo, i need a little help. So ive created some modmail functionality, and i am grabbing the "thread channel" using discord.utils.get, looping through guild.text_channels and accessing the TextChannel.topic (which is the thread users id). I want to create a subscribe function that does the following: When a staff member runs .subscribe in the thread, it adds their ID to the topic as well, separated by a comma. And will ping them anytime the thread user sends a message. Heres my issue, when the subscribed users id is in the topic along with the thread user id, the thread channel will return None because im checking if the topic is their user id. And obviously two IDs and a comma is NOT their user id. How can i get around this?

[naive briar]

guild.text_channels doesn't include threads. If you want to search for threads, you'd access them by text_channel.threads

!d discord.TextChannel.threads

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.threads

property threads```
Returns all the threads that you can see.

New in version 2.0.

[naive briar]

Just a double loop basically

[patent lark]

No, im using a text_channel, not a thread channel

Im just calling it "thread channel" in my code

[naive briar]

Who would ever be confused

[final iron]

Variable naming does matter

I feel like this whole implementation is convoluted but you could just split the string on “,” and loop through the indexes, or if the target ID will always be first then you can just grab the index

[nova vessel]

Anyone got an example on how to create a slash command using discord.py?

[hushed galleon]

official example: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/examples/app_commands/basic.py

[patent lark]

I have fixed my issue now, thanks for your suggestion

[nova vessel]

How'd I create an embed with buttons? Is there an example for that?

[final iron]

There’s a views folder

[nova vessel]

Which one?

And how'd I add the buttons to the embed?

[final iron]

The views folder lol

It’s in the example folder

counter.py is probably the simplest implementation

[nova vessel]

And is it possible to use this in my moderation class?

[final iron]

The buttons would be attached to the message itself so you’d pass your discord.ui.View instance into the view kwarg while sending

[hushed galleon]

as for embeds you would create an instance of the discord.Embed class, set whatever attributes you want, and then send it in your message using the embed= argument

[nova vessel]

So I couldn't do embed.add_action?

[final iron]

Not sure what that is tbh

Which library are you using?

[hushed galleon]

the discord API doesn't have any relationship between buttons and embeds, so dpy doesn't provide a method like that

[nova vessel]

Ah

[final iron]

Yeah, buttons are bound to the message itself, just like embeds

[nova vessel]

Dang, alot of code to add in a button lol

[final iron]

Not really if you take it step by step

[nova vessel]

So in theory, could I make a file within my cogs folder called "counters.py" and just place all of the individual buttons in there and then call them onto messages when I need such as in my "moderation.py" file and then depending on the button they click, perform the rest of the actions within the "moderation.py" file?

Struggle with building the logic behind my code sometimes lol

[final iron]

The typical implementation for buttons is the discord.ui.button decorator is used on a function, and that function becomes the callback for the button created

Buttons can be dynamically created though

[hushed galleon]

or do you mean you want your view to be reusable across multiple cogs? sure you can do that

[nova vessel]

Honestly, I have never used buttons before and slash commands so I am just trying to learn them (the wrong way, I know lol)

Are either of you able to hop into one of the VCs to explain please?

[hushed galleon]

i cant, but i would recommend looking at the view documentation to see what methods are provided

[nova vessel]

Where is that located?

[hushed galleon]

!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.

New in version 2.0.

[hushed galleon]

views are usually written to handle actions in the callback of each button but they do allow you to wait for the view to be stopped, at which point you can have some attribute to represent whatever selection they made

the confirm.py example shows that

[nova vessel]

import discord, json
from discord.ext import commands
# Cogs
from cogs.moderation import Moderation

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

class Client(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)
        self.moderation = Moderation(self)
    
    async def on_ready():
        try:
            synced = await # commands tree sync
            print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)

        await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="RMC play!"))
        print(f'Logged in as {bot.user.name}')

    @bot.event
    async def on_message(message):
        await bot.process_commands(message)

    with open('config.json', 'r+') as f:
        config = json.load(f)

    bot.run(config['botkey'])

As I am going to have multiple classes, how can I cycle through them all to sync them?

[hushed galleon]

err you should only have one client/bot instance

also seems unusual to be instantiating the cog manually without adding it with add_cog(), or more conventionally setting it up as an extension

[nova vessel]

That's what I was thinking but I didn't know if you could do that when using interactions/slash commands

As it works of a "tree"

[hushed galleon]

the Bot class handles registering slash commands in cogs defined with @app_commands.command() for you

[vernal folio]

HELP PLEASE

[hushed galleon]

1. use just the commands.Bot class (it does everything discord.Client can do, and comes with a free CommandTree and prefix command support)
2. have a command to sync your tree when you want to
3. setup your cog as an extension so you can load it
   in summary it might look like: ```py
   class Bot(commands.Bot):
   async def setup_hook(self):
   await self.load_extension("cogs.moderation")

bot = Bot(command_prefix="!", ...)
bot.run(...) py

cogs/moderation.py

class Moderation(commands.Cog):
...

async def setup(bot):
await bot.add_cog(Moderation(bot))```

[nova vessel]

Ah, this seems a lot more efficient and has filled a void in my knowledge, thank you 💙

[candid escarp]

I think it would be easier to use a existing one right? But i have to be able to input my own data like the rules or frequently asked questions so it can really help

[solar elbow]

I created a discord bot that helps you make and find new places to get coffee. Who would like to try it?

[grizzled yew]

anybody thoughts?

[gusty forum]

The style you mean ?

Pretty nice! Nice icons, overall nice theme

[grizzled yew]

yes

thank you, any way to improve it?

[gusty forum]

Maybe some other icon for Duration ? User Id and Duration have same icon

[grizzled yew]

I'm making a really good bot in python passionately, looking for some team members aswell to help me make it the best visual embed bot on discord

[grizzled yew]

oh yes I'm looking for one currently

[gusty forum]

👌 Ye, other than that it looks real nice

[grizzled yew]

Thank you!

you seem like an experienced developer/person, just offering would you like to join the development of this bot? we have plans to publically launch it by next year jan-feb and till then we'll be working on making it a really good visual experience (the stylish embeds and informative responses rather than just saying "xyz was banned")

I can personally code this bot, but I run out of ideas so It would be nice to have a team to work with ^^

we've got one of my friends already onboard the project

[gusty forum]

I've got plenty of work myself 😅 And just getting back to Python rn from doing C# only for the past few months.. xD

[grizzled yew]

yeah you don't really need to code anything tbh, just guide me on the embed/visual stuff etc

lmk if ur down, totally fine if you cannot.

[gusty forum]

I just came here to ask some peeps for advice on how to communicate to Discord bot from website and back asynchronously 😅 How do people usually do this ? Do I just run both under 1 process ? With Python running on 1 thread for most part without using multiproc it scares me lol..
I got a bot sitting in little over 100 servers with ~8K users it frequently iterates over and uh xD I was using RPyC to communicate between web process and bot process but damn is it slow xD

What/how do other big python bots do this ? xD

Do they just store all the user-data etc.. and everything on their DB

[golden portal]

really depends on what you're trying to do, if you want something like an event, and your db is postgresql, you could use the pg pub/sub feature. also for a website, run them in a separate process, you would just make the frontend communicate with an api via SSE or websockets or any other IPC, and your bot could connect to that through websocket as well

[gusty forum]

Wow I do use postgres yep and I had no clue about pub/sub feature, it does look real cool tho! I'll check it out and will look into using websockets for this 👌

[golden portal]

oke

[grizzled yew]

why are embed titles not aligned??

[golden portal]

discord client issue

[grizzled yew]

oh

[hushed galleon]

does your create_pool() literally have ... for the address? that seems to be implied by the Ellipsis in your error message

[sharp whale]

[fast musk]

is the error intermittent? Could be firewall. Could be their side

also in the context of discord bots, most are async so you wouldn't want to use requests, but an async library such as aiohttp

[sharp whale]

Idk, I even turned off windows firewall but didnt work

[haughty dew]

I'm currently writing a discord bot, and I'm looking for the best way to create and categorize slash commands. Previously I've used a CommandTree, but adding parameters, descriptions, and organization (for example, command groups) was difficult and needlessly complex. So before I fall into any pitfalls, what's the best way to create a slash command structure?

[sharp whale]

Cog groups

!d discord.ext.commands.GroupCog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.GroupCog

class discord.ext.commands.GroupCog(*args, **kwargs)```
Represents a cog that also doubles as a parent [`discord.app_commands.Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Group) for the application commands defined within it.

This inherits from [`Cog`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog) and the options in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta) also apply to this. See the [`Cog`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog) documentation for methods.

Decorators such as [`guild_only()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.guild_only), [`guilds()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.guilds), and [`default_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.default_permissions) will apply to the group if used on top of the cog.

Hybrid commands will also be added to the Group, giving the ability to categorize slash commands into groups, while keeping the prefix-style command as a root-level command.

For example...

[hushed galleon]

how were you adding slash parameters/descriptions? the two different syntaxes should be fairly readable

[haughty dew]

I couldn't find anything, really.

@tree.command(name = "addassignablerole", description="Add a role to the assignable roles list")
@app_commands.describe(role = "role to add")
@app_commands.rename(role = "role")

[hushed galleon]

you er don't need a rename if it's still going to be given the same name

but regardless for descriptions, Google/Sphinx/Numpy-style docstrings can be used instead: ```py
@bot.tree.command(name="add-assignable-role")
async def add_assignable_role(interaction, role: discord.Role):
"""Add a role to the assignable roles list.

:param role: The role to add.

"""```

[haughty dew]

Okay, what about grouping commands?

[hushed galleon]

#discord-bots message

if you're not using cogs/extensions the first two syntaxes would be appropriate, but if you are using cogs you'd want to pick one of the last two

tbf this is stuff that should be in an official guide, but that's been WIP for over a year now

[haughty dew]

Speaking of, what's the usecase of cogs? When should I use it?

[hushed galleon]

its part of the discord.ext.commands extension (to be used with commands.Bot rather than discord.Client), and it helps you organize your code in different files

for example: ```py

main.py

from discord.ext import commands

class Bot(commands.Bot):
async def setup_hook(self):
await self.load_extension("path.to.my_extension")

bot = Bot(command_prefix="?", ...)
bot.run(...) py

path/to/my_extension.py

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

@commands.command()
async def some_prefix_command(self, ctx: commands.Context):
    await ctx.send("Hello world!")

@app_commands.command()
async def some_slash_command(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hello world!")

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

if you want a bigger example, you can see how i organized a bunch of various features in cogs/extensions here
https://github.com/thegamecracks/thegamebot/tree/v2/bot/cogs
(reminders.py and timezones.py happen to also demonstrate the 4th and 2nd forms of slash groups)

[haughty dew]

Neat

[acoustic kernel]

Is it possible to make the same command accessible with different names?

Like I want users to be able to go
/info
or
/i

Also, can I have it so that a parameter in a slash command isn't required for the command.

@bot.tree.command(name="find",description="Searches a location on a map.")
async def find(interaction: discord.Interaction, location: str,):

Like can i make the location not be neccissary to type in

[fast musk]

discord.py uses type hints to accomplish this. Type location as an Optional[str] and assign to None as default

[acoustic kernel]

Alright thanks!

[fast musk]

afaik no aliases on app commands since they are registered

I haven't personally needed to use an alias since the UX is a context menu that displays them as you type

[sharp whale]

@fast musk

[fast musk]

same error? You'd be in the same boat as me. Google will show you the way

it isn't a python problem really

[hushed galleon]

i believe the None default is implied with Optional for both slash and prefix commands so omitting it is fine

[fast musk]

something something explicit is better than implicit 😄

j/k I won't die on this hill

[haughty dew]

What's a good way to get my bots permissions in a guild? interaction.guild.me.resolved_permissions.manage_messages doesn't seem to work

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Interaction.app_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.app\_permissions

property app_permissions```
The resolved permissions of the application or the bot, including overwrites.

[haughty dew]

Nice

[hushed galleon]

or if it needs to consider the overwrites of another channel you'll probably want to use interaction.guild.me.permissions_in(channel)

wait they removed that didnt they

gah https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html#removals
channel.permissions_for(interaction.guild.me) then

[acoustic kernel]

How do I have a bot automatically add reactions to a message?

                message = await interaction.response.send_message(embed=m_embed)
            await interaction.message.add_reaction("1")
            await interaction.message.add_reaction("2")
            await interaction.message.add_reaction("3")

[slate swan]

just like you did

[acoustic kernel]

huh it doesnt seem to be working idk why

I figured I was doing it wrong

[candid escarp]

Anyone an idea on how to make a AI support discord bot? Like a bot who replys to users questions and problems in a ticket like a supporter

[haughty dew]

Good question GAY STRIPER (FEMBOY), First you'll need a library of pictures of natsuki from doki doki

[slate swan]

niezle about me

[haughty dew]

AI is a little difficult. You can always use pre-existing tools like ChatGPT, but you'll need to pay whatever fee it costs.

[candid escarp]

Yeah I mean like with ChatGPT but how do I "train" it with my information?

[haughty dew]

https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning

[acoustic kernel]

This isn't working, it says that interaction.message has NoneType

[haughty dew]

do you delete the message at some point?

perhaps ```py
msg = await interaction.response.send_message("Reply")
msg.add_reaction("1")

though, I'm not sure if interaction.response.send_message() actually returns anything

if not try msg = await interaction.original_response()

[final iron]

Slash commands do not have invocation messages, and send_message doesn’t return anything

[acoustic kernel]

Yeah I used this

I got it able to work and send emojis

Thank you for the help!

[candid escarp]

This is the example i found in the docs:

{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "Marv is a factual chatbot that is also sarcastic."}, {"role": "user", "content": "What's the capital of France?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Paris, as if everyone doesn't know that already."}]}
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "Marv is a factual chatbot that is also sarcastic."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Who wrote 'Romeo and Juliet'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Oh, just some guy named William Shakespeare. Ever heard of him?"}]}
{"messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "Marv is a factual chatbot that is also sarcastic."}, {"role": "user", "content": "How far is the Moon from Earth?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Around 384,400 kilometers. Give or take a few, like that really matters."}]}

but isnt this just a like keyword thing then?

[haughty dew]

I imagine it's used more like context than keyword.

Imagine "Respond in a sarcastic way, for example Question: "How far is the moon from Earth?' Response: "Around 384,400 kilometers. GIve or take a few, like that really matters.""

[candid escarp]

and if i write whats tthe distance between moon and earth? he will also answer my content?

[haughty dew]

I imagine it'll answer the question to the best of it's abilities while considering the context of the fine tuning

But it's probably better to go to a ChatGPT development related discord. as I'm not deeply familiar with ChatGPT, nor do I care.

the discord bot side of this is piping in prompt and replying with response

[cunning briar]

``py

@bot.tree.command(name="kick",description="kicks a member from the server")
async def kick(ctx, user:discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await user.kick(reason=reason)
    embed = discord.Embed(title='{} has been kicked by {} for {}'.format(user,ctx.author,reason), color=0xf39c12)
    await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

bot.run(TOKEN)

[output]

TypeError: parameter 'reason' is missing a type annotation in callback 'kick'

[hushed galleon]

when the error says "type annotation", its referring to this: py async def kick(ctx, user: discord.Member, *, reason=None): ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you need a typehint for reason so discord.py knows what kind of parameter to use for your slash command

str is the type for strings, so reason: str would be appropriate

btw ctx.respond() doesn't exist in discord.py, and tree commands don't receive ctx Contexts

you can find examples of sending messages using interactions in their official repository

[unkempt canyon]

examples/app_commands/basic.py lines 41 to 44

@client.tree.command()
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    """Says hello!"""
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Hi, {interaction.user.mention}')```

[ornate linden]

what's the difference between the @[discord.Client].hybrid_command decorator and the @commands.hybrid_command decorator?

the documentation is different but it seems like they do the same thing

[glad cradle]

none, you use the former when you have the client object, the latter when you're in a cog

[ornate linden]

that's exactly what i did lol
makes sense

[hushed galleon]

the commands.hybrid_command() decorator merely creates a HybridCommand instance (which gets registered during bot.add_cog()), but Bot.hybrid_command() also adds it to the bot instance

your bot instance isn't typically available in an extension until setup() gets called though, hence why it has to be deferred to add_cog(), or at least a Bot.add_command() call in setup()

[ornate linden]

another question
how should I go about making a custom error handler in a hybrid bot?
on_command_error or bot.tree.on_error or something else?

[final iron]

There is no global app (slash) commands error event but you can set one for your CommandTree.

Documentation

• CommandTree.on_error
• CommandTree.error (decorator)

One way to do this is by subclassing CommandTree and overriding on_error. (recommended)
Or use the decorator:

Example

from discord import app_commands, Interaction

bot = commands.Bot(...)
# Bot has a built-in tree
# but this is the same for a CommandTree you define.
tree = bot.tree
# can't find your tree? -> ?tag definetree

# this will function as a global error handler for app commands
@tree.error
async def on_app_command_error(
    interaction: Interaction,
    error: app_commands.AppCommandError
):
    ...

[ornate linden]

cool, thanks

[harsh egret]

im trying to make it so where my bot always gives me permission to kick someone even when i dont have permission this is my coding

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)
async def kick(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
  if ctx.message.author.id == '338793925517115402':
    await member.kick(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f'User {member} has kicked.')
  if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
    await ctx.send(f"Permissions needed {error.missing_perms}")

and it wont work

anyone know why?

[golden portal]

author.id is an int, you're comparing it against str there

!e ```py
print(123 == '123')

[unkempt canyon]

@golden portal :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

False

[half moth]

Does anyone know how to create a bump reminder? More specifically, I don't know how to figure out when /bump is run to start a timer...

[final iron]

What is a bump reminder

[half moth]

Are you familiar with Disboard?

A bump reminder meaning after /bump is run for that bot it will start a timer to remind you later

[naive briar]

Just detect that bot's bump message and start your timer 🤷

[half moth]

That's the issue though i don't know how lol

Although, I'll look through the discord.py API Reference to find something

[sick birch]

you will probably not find anything there

bumping is a third party thing and not related to the official Discord API

[half moth]

I understand that, I'm looking for a way to detect the embed and the user who used the /bump

[sick birch]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot) does not have this problem.

[sick birch]

you would need to do some filtering to figure out of this message is a bump message but you can probably handle that

[half moth]

Ah ok, what about knowing the user that ran the command?

[clear lark]

if discord.on_message uses ctx you should be able to just use ctx.author(returns username) or ctx.author.id(returns user-id) If you want to message that user await ctx.send.author()

or the equivalents for interactions (no idea what discord.on_message uses)

[half moth]

That works for getting the bot's id as it's the one sending the embed but for the user who ran the command it doesn't really work

[clear lark]

You could try checking for the command instead of the bump embed? Not sure

[half moth]

Yeah that's the goal but i haven't found a way to check for the command because it's sent to the bump bot not my bot

[clear lark]

Oh is the bump command a slash command?

[half moth]

Yep, Here is a picture of the bump command being run

Maybe there is another round-a-bout way of figuring out the user who ran the command but i haven't been able to find anything

I know it's possible as this other bot has done it but don't know how

[clear lark]

I have no idea, never had to worry about reading from embeds, webhooks, etc that weren't integrated as part of my bot

[half moth]

hmm

[nova vessel]

Does a Discord accounts user ID ever change or does it remain the same since you made the account?

[clear lark]

Always the same iirc

[nova vessel]

Thank you!

views?

[turbid condor]

Isn't 88hrs like 3+ days?

[grizzled yew]

I'm talking about the design 😁 and yes 24 x 3 = 72 hours

88 hours = 3 days | 16 hours

will maybe look into fixing that soon

[turbid condor]

That's the only issue i see

Rest looks ok

[naive briar]

Why >>> (I forgot what it's called)?

[grizzled yew]

good design?

[grizzled yew]

I just like >>> it gives a nice little identation

indentation*

[turbid condor]

The grey line?

[naive briar]

Yes

[turbid condor]

Well it's not needed there but it's their choice

And green color for a moderator action idk

[grizzled yew]

don't you feel it makes the embed better in this case? what would you prefer?

[turbid condor]

I'd rather say yellow looks better for that

[grizzled yew]

keeping 1 uniform color for all the embeds, my bot is green themed*

[turbid condor]

I'd remove that line and keep everything rest

[grizzled yew]

okay

[turbid condor]

Hmm

Well it's your choice since you are following a theme

[grizzled yew]

if you see all my icons match aswell, I believe in 1 theme (except the error embeds which are red)

yeah but one day I'll make the bot public for people so u can put ur point yk?

I'm looking for people to join the team to advise me on such topics btw.. if you're interested join vision development 😁

[turbid condor]

Well I can help out a bit if you'd like

Since I'm on a break

[grizzled yew]

sure

I've dmed you!

[shrewd apex]

maybe timed out user or moderator for thumbnail ig

[final iron]

You’re passing self when you call the argument

You need a discord.Interaction instance

[obsidian fable]

is there any way to restrict the data types passed in discord.ui.TextInput?

[final iron]

No

Best you can do is verify the information passed in on_submit

[obsidian fable]

I see

[final iron]

When you’re calling the argument you’re passing in self as an argument

Well I’d start with removing it

It’s your code though, and you don’t have any typehints so only you know what to pass

[slate swan]

I want to import a @commands.group in multiple files but im getting this error: ImportError: cannot import name '' from partially initialized module '' (most likely due to a circular import) ()

in most of the files i have something like that in my imports:

from cogs.filename import three
from cogs.filename import four

What is causing the error and how can i fix it?

[final iron]

Send the code for your entire imported file

!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.

[slate swan]

The whole code from every cog that i have the imports?

They are too big. If you want i can send you a small example.

[final iron]

bans() isn't a list

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

async for ... in bans(*, limit=1000, before=..., after=...)```
Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry).

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

Changed in version 2.0: Due to a breaking change in Discord’s API, this now returns a paginated iterator instead of a list.

schizo

[rugged shadow]

what did bro do 🤔

[sharp whale]

I need help with background tasks

how do i start the task

[naive briar]

task.start() 🫠

[sharp whale]

its not working

[shrewd fjord]

What is exactly not working

[sharp whale]

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


    @tasks.loop(seconds=10)
    async def compare_and_send(self):
        print("running")
        
    def cog_unload(self):
        self.compare_and_send.stop()
        

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(MonitoringCog(bot))```

[shrewd fjord]

Show code / error

[sharp whale]

The task isn't running

[sharp whale]

there's no error

[shrewd fjord]

Are you sure about the cog getting loaded?

[sharp whale]

yes

[shrewd fjord]

add a print() in init

[sharp whale]

wait ill check with on_ready listener

yes its getting loaded

[shrewd fjord]

?

Oh the cog

[sharp whale]

yes

btw nice pfp

[shrewd fjord]

Can you use cog_load and start it there?

[sharp whale]

what

oh

[shrewd fjord]

I think start() needs to be in asynchronous func

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_load

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

A special method that is called when the cog gets loaded.

Subclasses must replace this if they want special asynchronous loading behaviour. Note that the `__init__` special method does not allow asynchronous code to run inside it, thus this is helpful for setting up code that needs to be asynchronous.

New in version 2.0.

[sharp whale]

it doesn't

from discord.ext import tasks, commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self):
        self.index = 0
        self.printer.start()

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.printer.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    async def printer(self):
        print(self.index)
        self.index += 1

I found this at docs

[shrewd fjord]

Is it before or after migration, alot of stuff have been changed

[fierce light]

start isnt async

[shrewd fjord]

It isnt

[sharp whale]

its the latest stable version

[shrewd fjord]

But many methods need an asynchronous function to make it usable

[fierce light]

only async methods

[shrewd fjord]

I am talking about the example

[fierce light]

non-async doesnt need to be in async but can be in async functions

[sharp whale]

yes i m talking about it too

[shrewd fjord]

Well if you see you can't start a ClientSession in a synchronous func

[shrewd fjord]

Hmm weird

[fierce light]

async methods = should only be used inside an async function (or asyncio.create_task, asyncio.gather)
normal methods = can be used in both async and non-async

[shrewd fjord]

You are just not getting my point, some lib restricts a method to be only usable on an asynchronous func tho the method is synchronous

[fierce light]

better if u try this exact example in ur bot

[sharp whale]

i did

[fierce light]

did it work?

[sharp whale]

no

[shrewd fjord]

try cog_load, that example might be old

[sharp whale]

@fierce light

when i have start it in cog_load it throws this error:

Extension 'Cogs.monitoring' raised an error: RuntimeError: Task is already launched and is not completed.

maybe i should remove itt from the initiator

[fierce light]

wrong reply

[fierce light]

okay then it is running

wait what

[sharp whale]

yes but its not printing the thing

[fierce light]

how are u loading ur cogs

[shrewd fjord]

[sharp whale]

async def loadcogs():
    for file in os.listdir("./Cogs"):
        if file.endswith(".py"):
            try:
                await bot.load_extension(f'Cogs.{file[:-3]}')
                print(f'Loaded Cog {file}')
            except Exception as e:
                print(f'Failed to load Cog {file}')
                raise e```

[fierce light]

yeah my brain is actually rotting

[sharp whale]

y

[fierce light]

no idea

[sharp whale]

lmao

[shrewd fjord]

Use logging i think

[sharp whale]

wat

[shrewd fjord]

!pip logging

[unkempt canyon]

logging v0.4.9.6

A logging module for Python

[shrewd fjord]

;-;

[sharp whale]

ik what logging is

im asking why

[shrewd fjord]

maybe the output of print is getting stored to stdout

[fierce light]

tried that cog in my bot

[shrewd fjord]

Thats why saying use logging to debug or smth xd

[fierce light]

it runs

no idea why it doesnt work for you though

not working

[fierce light]

lol

damn

[sharp whale]

my brain going brrr

[fierce light]

[shrewd apex]

use the setup hook to load cogs

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/creating-a-bot/#making-an-advanced-bot take a look at the setup hook function here

from discord.ext import commands


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


async def setup(bot: commands.Bot):
     await bot.add_cog(MyCog(bot))

[sharp whale]

what

[robust fulcrum]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup\_hook

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

A coroutine to be called to setup the bot, by default this is blank.

To perform asynchronous setup after the bot is logged in but before it has connected to the Websocket, overwrite this coroutine.

This is only called once, in [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.login), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready) event.

Warning

Since this is called *before* the websocket connection is made therefore anything that waits for the websocket will deadlock, this includes things like [`wait_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for) and [`wait_until_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready)...

[sharp whale]

I used it in the cog

to add cogs bruh

[robust fulcrum]

wdym?

[sharp whale]

just leave it

I want help with background tasks

@naive briar hi

helppppp

[robust fulcrum]

don't ping random people

[sharp whale]

sry

[sharp whale]

which code did you use?

[fierce light]

Ur code

[sharp whale]

why tf is it not working in mine lmao

[fierce light]

I have no idea💀

[sharp whale]

lmao its making my brain go brr

@fierce light what version of discord.py are you on?

[fierce light]

2.3.1

[final breach]

how to import slash command to my bot by loading extension
i did import regular commands but the slash command did not apirs in bot app commands

[sharp whale]

sync the command tree

ez

[final breach]

i did sync the command tree
but didnt show

[sharp whale]

wait for sometime

discord takes time to show the commands

2 - 3 minutes

[final breach]

ok i will see

[final breach]

is this write

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

    @commands.command(
        name="player_presence",

        embed = await player_info_embed(discord_id)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[sharp whale]

no

this is a prefixed command

!d discord.app_commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.command

@discord.app_commands.command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
Creates an application command from a regular function.

[fierce light]

youd want ```py
app_commands.command()

[sharp whale]

jed

can you show me your main.py and full cog

in which you used my code block

@sharp whale

[sharp whale]

why would any one name the bot instance as molina lmao

[shrewd apex]

u shouldnt really do stuff in on_ready

its triggered multiple times throughout a bots lifespan

[fierce light]

yeah this is an old bot

[shrewd apex]

fair

[fierce light]

ugly ahh code 🔥

[fierce light]

LMAO 💀

[sharp whale]

Asher

halp me pls

should i try my code in replit or something

@fierce light bro i just called the start function in "on_ready" listener and now it works lmaoaoaoooaoao

[fierce light]

lmfao

do it in "setup_hook"

[final breach]

is this write

from discord import app_commands

!paste your code here

[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.

[shrewd apex]

cog and bot

[sharp whale]

it works now

[shrewd apex]

aight cool what was the issue the cog loading i am gonna assume

[shrewd apex]

nope

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/#creating-a-slash-command go through this it teaches you on how to work with slash commands in a pretty detailed manner

[shrewd apex]

for the cog u need to inherit from commands.Cog and in setup await bot.add_cog(PlayerPresenceCog(bot)) also u can rename ctx to interaction for more clarity

[final breach]

thx

[fierce light]

wrote that on top of my head

dunno if its right

[shrewd apex]

u cant import ext like that

[fierce light]

o

yeah i was skeptical bout what i wrote

[young dagger]

How can I wait for a user to move to a voice channel?

[final breach]

thx for that

[fierce light]

np

[fierce light]

on_voice_state_update() event probably

[drifting arrow]

hhmm

[young dagger]

How can I send a message in the voice channel after the user has been moved?

    create_vc_channel_id = 1151598666239463488

    # Check if the member joined the "Create VC" channel

            return new_after.channel and new_after.channel.id != create_vc_channel_id and new_after.channel != after.channel and new_after.channel.guild == after.channel.guild

        return

[shrewd fjord]

Voice channel?

!d discord.VoiceChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[shrewd fjord]

Well yeah just use it?

And depends on in which channel do you want to send msg like before or after

[young dagger]

After

[2023-11-24 14:48:12] [ERROR ] discord.client: Ignoring exception in on_voice_state_update Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Gamer\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\venv\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 441, in _run_event await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "D:\discord bots\blitzcrank.py", line 2313, in on_voice_state_update new_after = await client.wait_for('voice_state_update', check=check, timeout=10.0) File "C:\Users\Gamer\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\asyncio\tasks.py", line 445, in wait_for return fut.result() File "C:\Users\Gamer\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\venv\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 474, in dispatch result = condition(*args) TypeError: on_voice_state_update.<locals>.check() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_voice\_state\_update

discord.on_voice_state_update(member, before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) changes their [`VoiceState`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceState).

The following, but not limited to, examples illustrate when this event is called...

[shrewd apex]

@young dagger check needs 3 arguments

[young dagger]

Do I need to fetch the voice channel before sending a message?

Checking: Beerhunter, ➕ Create VC, Aram Timed out waiting for Beerhunter to be moved to another channel.

Aram = New voice channel in this case

[shrewd apex]

u need to have the voice channel object to send the message

its method under the voice channel object

[young dagger]

For some reason when two users are joining create_vc_channel_id at the same time. The bot sends 2 (double) messages to the same user and ignoring the other one

[stark nexus]

Anyone have suggestions gor my bot?

I mean i successfully made a bot

But i hope the dialogue change according the guild(server)
Is there there way?

I already made 2 main.py , fuctions are same but i edited dialogue

[latent harness]

Hey guys! Is there a complete guide for making discord bots from scratch?

I really just started making one

in replit

And i don't want tto discontinue

but am getting stuck a lot

[shrewd apex]

here is somewhat of a guide but its relatively complete

[latent harness]

since i am a complete beginner

[latent harness]

Are you sure? thanks!

[shrewd apex]

its guides u to make a bot from scratch right from installing python and creating the bot

[latent harness]

oooh ok

[shrewd apex]

few areas are still yet to be documented but the slash command and basic commands stuff is present

[latent harness]

i did on replit is that fine asw?

[shrewd apex]

i suggest developing locally

[latent harness]

Adding text in embeds?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[latent harness]

so like installing python?

[shrewd apex]

only views is left iirc

[shrewd apex]

yeah that guide guides through that too

[latent harness]

oooh

[shrewd apex]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass

[latent harness]

omg thanks a lot!!

[shrewd apex]

start from here lmk if u get stuck somewhere

[latent harness]

Thnx!!!!!! Can I dm you too if I get stuck?

[shrewd apex]

ping me here I'll answer if i am active if not there will probably be other people active here helping as well if it's some doubt with the guide u can dm me or leave a comment

[latent harness]

Ohhh ok thanks!!!!

Here it's said making a folder

Dows that mean on the pc?

@shrewd apex

?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[latent harness]

Ooh. Ok

So then I just make a folder on pc

then whats a code editor

just python right?

@shrewd apex ?

Sorry for the pings!!

[shrewd apex]

vscode is a code editor

u need something to code in

[shrewd fjord]

[latent harness]

Python?

[shrewd fjord]

Ping me instead

[shrewd apex]

python is the language

[latent harness]

oooh ok

[shrewd fjord]

And yeah you need a code editor to like write python codes, but you can use notepad too 💀

[shrewd apex]

similar to how u write English but using ms word

[latent harness]

oooh ok

makes sense. So should i use vs code?

[shrewd apex]

vscode pycharm etc is the ms word equivalent for coding it autocompletes and corrects your code

yeah

[shrewd fjord]

[latent harness]

Uderstood!!

thnx!

[shrewd fjord]

[latent harness]

[latent harness]

what's going wrong here?

@shrewd fjord

?

[shrewd apex]

did u add python to path u had to mark a check box when installing

type in python --version in the terminal

[latent harness]

ooooh okkkkk

[shrewd apex]

have u installed python?

[latent harness]

i have

[shrewd apex]

following the guide?

u ran the installer?

[latent harness]

Yes!!

[latent harness]

i'll show you wait

[shrewd apex]

u downloaded the installer right from python website?

can u double click on that

and send me a screenshot of the window that opens

also on another note i dont think discord bots run on python 3.12 yet coz aiohttp max is 3.11

[latent harness]

Yes!!

[latent harness]

which one?

[shrewd apex]

the installer

[latent harness]

so should i install 3.11 instead?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[shrewd apex]

install the 3.11 installer and send me a screenshot pf the window that pops up

[latent harness]

Alright i will!

[shrewd apex]

the first one but for 3.11

[latent harness]

Ok

I get that

does this work?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[latent harness]

Ok

[sharp whale]

asher, i got another problem :)

the error handler isn't getting triggered```py
@commands.command(name="setnotificationchannel")
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def setnotificationchannel(self, ctx: commands.Context, channel: discord.TextChannel):
LogChannelSet(value=channel.id)
await ctx.send(f"Successfully changed the channel for Notification updates! to {channel.mention}")
embed = discord.Embed(title="Channel Set!", description="This channel has been set for VPS updates notification", color=discord.Color.green())
await channel.send(embed=embed)

@setnotificationchannel.error
async def setnoti_error(self, error, ctx: commands.Context):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send("**You don't have the required permissions to use this command, you need __administrator permissions__ in order to use this command!**")
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send("**Please mention a channel**\n `!setnnotificationchannel #channel`")```

there's no error in the logs

[shrewd apex]

add an else statement and put in await ctx.send("Uknown error")

also i think the order is wrong

[sharp whale]

wdym order

there's an order for that?

[sharp whale]

not working

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error) event limited to a single command. However, the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error) is still invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

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

[shrewd apex]

its ctx, error

u wrote the opposite

[sharp whale]

OH

mb

[latent harness]

There you go

thats what you wanted right? @shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

yeah

click the checkbox down then install

[latent harness]

Ohke

did that earlier asw

done

[shrewd apex]

now go to search in taskbar

type in cmd open command prompt

[latent harness]

ok
