discord-bots

[shrewd apex]

u can yeah

[halcyon magnet]

Idk if we should use a different cursor for every transaction

[shrewd apex]

how is it different? it returns the relevant cursor u can always close it manually or ignore it it gets cleaned up by gc automatically

both approaches are fine

[halcyon magnet]

gc means garbage collector? Right?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[final iron]

Sharing cursors can lead to incorrect data being retrieved
https://gist.github.com/sgtlaggy/9d43d5223314d559792ea6544673f1da

[final iron]

You should. Using a context manager is ideal so the cursor is always ideal for cleanup, and using a connection pool alongside it will help simplify queries

aiosqlite doesn't support connection pools and won't, so you'll need to switch to asqlite

[final iron]

@loud junco This is relevant to you as well

[shrewd apex]

thats for only data fetched where a cursor is being returned as long as u use the common execution function there should be no issues

[drifting arrow]

i've since had to move away from aiosqlite and had to move to postgresql.

aiosqlite is fun, and easy to use, but apparently not ideal if your bot is seeing lots of action

😢

Anyway. Hi @final iron

[shrewd apex]

asyncpg op

[loud junco]

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    
    async def setup_hook(self):
        self.db = await aiosqlite.connect("sqlite3 ep.db")

    async def execute(self, query, *args) -> aiosqlite.Cursor:
        cursor = await self.db.execute(query, args)
        await self.db.commit()
        return cursor
```am i missing some important details why is it still not working 😭😭😭

[final iron]

In what way is it not working

[final iron]

Hi

[vale wing]

Could you paste the whole code if possible

[vale wing]

You definitely initialise bot from wrong class

You defined a class a never used it

Your bot needs to be

bot = MyBot(...)

[vale wing]

Yeah what do you think you created class for

[loud junco]

ok i just saw what ive been doing
too blind fr 😭😭😭

[loud junco]

so this is correct right?

[vale wing]

Seems so

[loud junco]

cuz its still not working :D

did i overlooked something here

[vale wing]

This seems correct but what error do you get

[loud junco]

nothing

no error and im not using error handler

[vale wing]

Move code from async with bot to setup_hook method

[restive salmon]

music bot?

[loud junco]

but if i move it there i have to change asyncio.run as well and i dont think im going to asyncio.run the method

[final iron]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/logging.html

Set it up, see if there’s any errors

[loud junco]

database is locked

[final iron]

Average aiosqlite experience

Use asqlite

It’s on GitHub

Aiosqlite doesn’t support connection pools so id highly recommend switching anyway

[loud junco]

i tried changing it
im just giving up =.=

[vale wing]

If you move it you don't even need asyncio.run

It will be bot.run

[shrewd apex]

how did u create the .db file ? manually?

[midnight oracle]

How do I make the the variable "name" obligatory here?

@app_commands.command(name = "newproject", description = "Create a new project")
async def newproject(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, name: str, description: str) -> None:

[vale wing]

Mm asqlite won't unlock the db, it's clearly not the lib that is the cause

[vale wing]

Give it a default value, like this

async def cmd(self, inter, name: str = "default name")

Pay attention that default value args go after args without default value

[midnight oracle]

that will make it obligatory?

or just prevents the command from error?

[vale wing]

If by obligatory you mean optional yes

[midnight oracle]

oh no, I mean that the command cannot be executed if that parameter is not given

[vale wing]

Well this already implements such behaviour

You can't not give the argument, discord requires you to

[midnight oracle]

oh xd

thanks for the correction!

[final iron]

Asqlite enables WAL by default which helps mitigate the locking

[loud junco]

ya
i create a file call sqlite3 ep.db

[shrewd apex]

use the command to create like

sqlite3 name.db

u need to run it in bash or cmd

[tepid dagger]

did hydro switch to sqlite3 from the aoi thing

[shrewd apex]

same stuff aoi is a cli wrapper around sqlite

[tepid dagger]

oh lol

why doesnt he just use the sqlite3 package

does aoi have more functionality

[shrewd apex]

not sure haven't used aoi before

i prefer postgresql

[dreamy dune]

it's you async

[loud junco]

why is it so complicated i dont even know what to do now ;-;

[shrewd apex]

.

[vale wing]

Aoi is for db browsing, not db wrapper for usage in project

[vale wing]

I had pretty much linked you a working project, no idea how you got so deeply confused

It's in disnake but the only difference is setup is done in start instead of setup_hook

[vale wing]

No even need to do that, sqlite in py will automatically create database if it's missing on provided path

[shrewd apex]

i see

[vale wing]

@loud junco just read the BdayBot class, you will get what each line does and what the structure should be like, but make sure to read line by line
https://github.com/Exenifix/birthday-bot/blob/master/modules%2Fbot.py

[hasty pike]

how can i put bot.wait_for in always running while loop? Like a event

[fiery girder]

now why am i getting this error i suppose

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/XBKA

[shrewd apex]

class BanAppeal(View):
    def __init__(self, func, role:Role):
        self.value = None
        self.func = func
        self.role = role

u forgot to call super().__init__(timeout=whatever)

[fiery girder]

bruh

[fiery girder]

now this problem

i fking hate my life

i for () these

if a bot is offline will the button go timeout even if the timeout is set to none?

if yes is there a way to reactivate the button

[shrewd apex]

it will not respond to any interaction

[shrewd apex]

persistent views

[fiery girder]

and how do i make that?

[hushed galleon]

https://gist.github.com/thegamecracks/0f9ab7ad3982e65ff4aa429acb39cc4e
in short, give every button in your view a custom_id= alongside your None timeout, then add the view to your client during startup

[fiery girder]

i alr haev custom_id for every button

[hushed galleon]

the last part is the hard part

its further explained in the gist

[fiery girder]

so basically i just add the view in the bot on setup hook?

umm

being honest i still dont get it

[hushed galleon]

yes, by adding the view you're telling discord.py which components it can handle interactions from

[fiery girder]

ok well i added two of my views so lets test it

got this

[hushed galleon]

yeah, you have to instantiate your BanAppeal view

[fiery girder]

wait what if i have requirements to put into my view

[hushed galleon]

that's where it gets complicated, you have a "stateful" view

[fiery girder]

a what view

[hushed galleon]

stateful means you have state, i.e. parameters/variables stored in your view that need to be restored after the bot restarts

[fiery girder]

ah

but how i restore it thats the problem

[hushed galleon]

you have a database already, so that's where you'd want to store it

[fiery girder]

well i have a ticket that have diffrent views for different buttons so how do i do that

it need to have the user of the tickets who opened it to let it close it

[hushed galleon]

with difficulty

[fiery girder]

to make this more complicated i have an entire function as an input for my view so yea

[hushed galleon]

a table for each type of view might be enough (containing the message ID and parameters for each ticket view), but you have to also delete the corresponding row in those tables once the view is no longer useful

[fiery girder]

what about the function how can i take that in a db

[hushed galleon]

it should be serialized in some other way that makes it obvious which function you should use

[fiery girder]

sounds awful yea ill skip that

[hushed galleon]

if your views are too complicated to re-create, you'll have to simplify them so its easier to make them persistent

[fiery girder]

well

i have an idea

basically i am using the BanAppeal thing for a button i can just make a command that clears the channel and adds a new view everytime someone is banned so i dont have to do all the things

[left mantle]

Can someone help me finish this code please?

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

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

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
        print(f'We have logged in as {bot.user.name}')

@tasks.loop(minutes=15)
async def update_channel():
        tiktok_account = "octo_tech"
        follower_count = get_tiktok_follower_count(tiktok_account)

        guild_id = 1094273879482060911
        channel_id = 1177524750533267487

        guild = bot.get_guild(guild_id)
        channel = guild.get_channel(channel_id)
        await channel.edit(name=f'TikTok Followers: {follower_count}')

def get_tiktok_follower_count(account)


@bot.command(name='start')
async def start_update(ctx):
        update_channel.start()
        await ctx.send('Updating voice channel name based on TikTok followers!')

@bot.command(name='stop')
async def stop_update(ctx):
        update_channel.stop()
        await ctx.send('Stopped updating voice channel name.')

token = os.environ['TOKEN']
bot.run(token)```

[fiery girder]

what do you wanna do with this

well you need to finish the tiktok follower count rest is good i think

[left mantle]

yeah i don't know how to do it lol

it's just the def that i'm stuck on

[fiery girder]

well you need to use a api

[shrewd apex]

tiktok dosent have an api does it?

[fiery girder]

nope

not official theere are a few unofficials

[shrewd apex]

https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api u can try smn like this ig

[fiery girder]

https://davidteather.github.io/TikTok-Api/ fouidn this

oh lol same find

[fiery girder]

this is the docs btw

[left mantle]

what about https://developers.tiktok.com?

and how would i implement it?

[slate swan]

Look at the various APIs, none will help you

[left mantle]

how would i implement this one? i'm not the best at coding, only know the basics

[slate swan]

There are examples..

[left mantle]

yeah but i'd like direct help

[slate swan]

The examples are exactly what you need and we can't be more precise than a code example you can literally copy paste. We don't code for you. Use them. They even have a Discord server linked, use it.

Know that Discord bots are also not made for people that only know the basics.

[acoustic kernel]

async def override_autocomplete(interaction: discord.Interaction,current: str,) -> List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
    keys_list = ['Budget', 'Bob', 'Income']
    
    return [
        app_commands.Choice(name=stat, value=stat)
        for stat in keys_list if current in stat
    ]


@bot.tree.command(name="override", description="Overwrites a player's stats")
@app_commands.describe(player="Who do you want to override", stat="What do you want to override", override_value="What do you want to set the override to")
@app_commands.autocomplete(stat=override_autocomplete)
async def override(interaction: discord.Interaction, player: str, stat: str, override_value: str):

Can someone help, I dont know why this auto complete isnt working.

[shrewd apex]

it should work dont see anything wrong tbh did u enter something in the autocomplete option to test?

[shrewd apex]

one more check u can do is if current.lower() in stat.lower() ig

[acoustic kernel]

yes

[shrewd apex]

what did u enter?

[acoustic kernel]

B

Bud

[shrewd apex]

thats weird

can u add a print statement to check if autocomplete is being called

[shrewd apex]

also u assigned it to autocomplete for stat

so make sure u check for the correct param

[acoustic kernel]

Yes stat is what I assigned it to

[acoustic kernel]

Tried it with that and it also didnt work.

[shrewd apex]

no when typing B wait for a sec or two does no options pop up?

[acoustic kernel]

Nothin shows up

[shrewd apex]

also add a print statement in the autocomplete function to see of its being triggered

[acoustic kernel]

omg i gotta be the dumbest guy alive

[shrewd apex]

if this format dosent work u can try registering the autocomplete in the following manner

@override.autocomplete("stat")

[shrewd apex]

??

[acoustic kernel]

I fixed it, I have two bots running with the same code, but one didnt have the autocomplete and I kept using that bots command instead of the other one

[shrewd apex]

bruh

[acoustic kernel]

yeah

🤦🏻‍♂️

thanks for the help though.

[fiery girder]

download it in thorght the vscode terminal

or just install it on the folder you are working on

[shrewd apex]

ur running the code using python 3.11 u installed requests in python 3.12

[final iron]

You should also download Python from the actual website instead of the Microsoft store version

[acoustic kernel]

How can I create a command that creates a private channel between to players?

Id like the input to be a mention and it creates a chat between the player who ran the command and the mentioned player.

@bot.tree.command(name="diplomatic",description="Allows players to create a private chat with someone.")
async def diplomatic(interaction: discord.Interaction, player: str):
    user_name = await id_to_username(player)  # Assuming id_to_username takes an ID
    user = interaction.guild.get_member(interaction.user.name)

    # Create category if it doesn't exist
    category_name = "Diplomatic"
    category = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.categories, name=category_name)
    print(category)
    if category is None:
        category = await interaction.guild.create_category(category_name)

    # Create a private channel for the mentioned members
    overwrites = {
        interaction.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=False),
        user: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True),
        user_name: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True),
    }

    channel_name = f'{user}-{player}'
    await interaction.guild.create_text_channel(name=channel_name,category=category_name)

    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Created channel {channel_name}")

This is what I have so far

[winter coral]

If I have a discord modal, is there a way to provide custom validation, or is it just a "something was incorrect, report and send a new modal" kinda situation?

[winged garden]

nothing beyond min/max length and (un)required

you'll have to send new modal

[final iron]

Direct Messages already exist

This is kinda just reinventing the wheel

[acoustic kernel]

yeah but i need admins to see it to

[final iron]

What problem are you facing

[slate swan]

me when people want to create the most privacy invading bot

[final iron]

Creating a new channel every time is going to severely limit the server and bot anyway

[slate swan]

yeah that as well

[final iron]

Hence, direct messages

[torn sail]

If i didn't use a gateway connection and instead i used http interactions would i still be able to get vc events?

[final iron]

no

how would that even work

[torn sail]

cause i saw somewhere for a vc you make a new seperate gateway connection

and im wondering if vc events would come through there

[final iron]

Well, yes but you'd still be connected to the gateway

[torn sail]

right but i could use vc's without the main gateway connection?

like the one that every other event comes through

[slate swan]

You will still connect to the normal gateway at least once

To send the voice state update event and its relevant payload

[torn sail]

oh ok

thanks

[cinder tulip]

guys i have noticed that bots that have been written with discord.js can now put their own status (not activity like watching, listening etc.). Did dpy got updated too or not? cause I can't find anything about it

[final iron]

Status has been available for a very long time

[hushed galleon]

do you mean the "Set Custom Status" feature on your discord client? in dpy its known as CustomActivity

!d discord.CustomActivity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CustomActivity

class discord.CustomActivity(name, *, emoji=None, **extra)```
Represents a custom activity from Discord.

x == y Checks if two activities are equal.

x != y Checks if two activities are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the activity’s hash.

str(x) Returns the custom status text.

New in version 1.3.

[hushed galleon]

in that case dpy basically already supported custom statuses, but the API didn't allow it until a few months ago
https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log#activity-state-for-bot-users

[final iron]

Swear it's been supported for longer

[slate swan]

The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

is says i dont have python downloaded even though i do..?

[final iron]

Show that error, and the command you ran

[slate swan]

I just did pip install discord.py

[final iron]

is says i dont have python downloaded
Doesn't say this anywhere

Prefix your command with py -m

[slate swan]

It says I don’t have it downloaded mb

[final iron]

No it doesn't

[slate swan]

When I checked for python

It said that

[final iron]

Show that error

[final iron]

.

Your original command

[slate swan]

so py -m pip install discord.py

[final iron]

try it and see

[slate swan]

yea that works

[slate swan]

Can anyone help me with my python?

my pip doesnt work and whenever i try to install something it says "python is not reconized"

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.```

[final iron]

Use py

[slate swan]

even then i still cant install pip

just got a new pc and i cant install pip

[final iron]

Why do you need to install pip

[slate swan]

Am trying to make a discord bot but now i cant install discord as a package

[final iron]

What's the error when you install it

[slate swan]

it installs all the way untill this

ahh i see the issue

[final iron]

The error clearly says: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Use this to install it pip install -U --force-reinstall discord.py --extra-index-url https://abstractumbra.github.io/pip/

[slate swan]

isnt it caused by python 3.12 ?

[cinder tulip]

ohhhh, I didn't know that. thank you alot :D

[final iron]

It’s correlated to 3.12, but not caused by it

[slate swan]

yep

[halcyon magnet]

I think if you get the latest Microsoft c++ build tools ,the error should go?

[hardy geyser]

anyone know this

[halcyon magnet]

Install it with pip

Not a discord bot related question though

[hardy geyser]

pip instal ?

[halcyon magnet]

Ye

[hardy geyser]

wahat

next

[final iron]

What are you trying to do with it?

Also semi colons are bad practice

[halcyon magnet]

You should know what to do with it?

[drifting arrow]

Why does my bot not wait for the response?

        embed = await self.create_message_embed("Reason for the report?")
        await interaction.user.send(embed=embed)
        reason = (await self.client.wait_for('message')).content
        
        embed = await self.create_message_embed("Any evidence to provide? If so, provide it now, or type 'No'")
        await interaction.user.send(embed=embed)
        evidence = (await self.client.wait_for('message')).content
``` It sometimes does and sometimes doesnt

[sick birch]

there's no check so it takes any message, in any channel, in any guild

[midnight oracle]

In this code (part of a Cog), I would like that when any of the buttons are pressed, they remove the original message sent by the NewProject class and send another one indicating whether the creation was accepted or denied. If possible, the interaction should be edited. Is that possible?

class ConfirmationButtonView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, timeout = None):
        super().__init__(timeout = timeout)
        self.value = None
        
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Confirm", style = discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        self.value = True
        self.stop()
        
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Deny", style = discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def deny(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        self.value = False
        self.stop()


class NewProject(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot, config: dict) -> None:
        self.bot = bot
        self.category_id = config["categorys"][0]["id"]  
    

    @app_commands.command(name = "newproject", description = "Create a new project")
    @app_commands.describe(name = "Name of the project", description = "Description of the project")
    async def newproject(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, name: str, description: str, points: int) -> None:
        guild = interaction.guild
        
        questionEmbed = discord.Embed(title = "Alert ⚠", description = "A new project is about to be created with the following characteristics. Please check that everything is correct.", colour = discord.Colour.red())
        questionEmbed.add_field(name = "Name", value = name, inline = True)
        questionEmbed.add_field(name = 'Points', value = points, inline = True)
        questionEmbed.add_field(name = "Description", value = description, inline = False)
        questionEmbed.set_thumbnail(url = thumbail_url)
        questionEmbed.set_footer(text=f"Interaction time - {current_time}")
        
        #new_channel = await guild.create_text_channel(name = f"{name}", category = guild.get_channel(self.category_id))
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed = questionEmbed, view = ConfirmationButtonView(timeout = None))

[hushed galleon]

if you want to edit the original message you can simply use interaction.response.edit_message(), but if you want to delete the original message you should give the command's interaction to your view and call interaction.delete_original_response()

[drifting arrow]

man. I hate this. why did I decide i wanted to make a discordbot..

[hushed galleon]

btw (button, interaction) is the wrong order for the button callbacks, it should be (interaction, button)

[midnight oracle]

Can I call the interaction.response.edit_message() directly from the button?

[hushed galleon]

client.wait_for('message') waits until any message is received (including from your own bot which is probably what's happening there), not necessarily one in the current channel/from the command author; you should use the check= argument to filter your events
(oops robin answered as well)

[midnight oracle]

okie

[hushed galleon]

yes, you are not forced to stick to that confirmation view template

[midnight oracle]

Oohh

I didn't knew that

Thanks!

[hushed galleon]

a generic confirm view is more useful if you find it really common to ask the user for confirmation in your commands

[patent lark]

Anyone know what could cause this?

[sick birch]

usually caused by excessive blocking code

[midnight oracle]

I receive an error when trying to use the interaction.delete_original_response()

ERROR - discord.ui.view : Ignoring exception in view <ConfirmationButtonView timeout=None children=2> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> url=None disabled=False label='Confirm' emoji=None row=None> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/codespace/.python/current/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/view.py", line 427, in _scheduled_task await item.callback(interaction) File "/workspaces/AdeptusTeam-PyBot/cogs/newProject_Cog.py", line 15, in confirm await interaction.delete_original_response() File "/home/codespace/.python/current/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/interactions.py", line 524, in delete_original_response await adapter.delete_original_interaction_response( File "/home/codespace/.python/current/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/webhook/async_.py", line 219, in request raise NotFound(response, data) discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10015): Unknown Webhook

[hushed galleon]

you didnt use it on the button's own interaction right?

[midnight oracle]

yeah

@discord.ui.button(label = "Confirm", style = discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self,interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
        await interaction.delete_original_response()
        #await interaction.response.send_message(f"Project is being created")
        self.value = True
        self.stop()

[hushed galleon]

once you respond to an interaction you can delete its response, so if you want to delete the command's response you need the command's interaction

in there you only have the button's interaction

[midnight oracle]

So, what if I use the self.value to check which button was pressed and then respond

[hushed galleon]

sure if you prefer that approach

[midnight oracle]

how would you do it?

0.o

[hushed galleon]

pass the command's interaction as an argument to the view's __init__, then reference it in the confirm/deny callback

normal object oriented programming stuff

[midnight oracle]

hm

let me try

[midnight oracle]

It worked better than I expected

Thanks man!

[drifting arrow]

😄

[dreamy dune]

yep that is not how join works

!join

[unkempt canyon]

Joining iterables

If you want to display a list (or some other iterable), you can write:

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
output = ""
separator = ", "
for color in colors:
    output += color + separator
print(output)
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow, '

However, the separator is still added to the last element, and it is relatively slow.

A better solution is to use str.join.

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
separator = ", "
print(separator.join(colors))
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow'

An important thing to note is that you can only str.join strings. For a list of ints,
you must convert each element to a string before joining.

integers = [1, 3, 6, 10, 15]
print(", ".join(str(e) for e in integers))
# Prints '1, 3, 6, 10, 15'

How to i make a Modal

and how can i call the Modal

[hardy geyser]

:/home/container$ if [[ -d .git ]] && [[ ${AUTO_UPDATE} == "1" ]]; then git pull; fi; if [[ ! -z ${PY_PACKAGES} ]]; then pip install -U --prefix .local ${PY_PACKAGES}; fi; if [[ -f /home/container/${REQUIREMENTS_FILE} ]]; then pip install -U --prefix .local -r ${REQUIREMENTS_FILE}; fi; /usr/local/bin/python ${PY_START_FLAGS} /home/container/${BOT_PY_FILE}
/usr/local/bin/python: can't open file '/home/container/bot.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

any one know to fix this

?

[timber lotus]

if i want a task to start when a cog is loaded, do i put the task in the class or above it?

[hardy geyser]

what

[timber lotus]

i have a task loop, right now in the cog class but for some reason its not getting starting, so im asknig if i have it in the wrong place

ohhhh i should probaly put this in the main......

[shrewd apex]

in cog_load method of the cog

!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.

[shrewd apex]

override it

[timber lotus]

ahhhh thank you!!!

[fiery girder]

you can put in a cog

[fiery girder]

you need to start it

@task.loop()
async def mytask()
  pass

mytask.start()

you need to start your task best way in a cog is to put mytask.start() in __init__() function

[fiery girder]

the mentioned directory does not exists

[timber lotus]

hell yea thank you!! it worked!

[fiery girder]

np

My discord.ui.Select menu is not working can someone help it

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZK7A

[final iron]

You haven’t set a call back for it

[fiery girder]

wdym

it dont have a callback thing i have to enter

[fiery girder]

can you give like an example

[final iron]

no

[fiery girder]

any docs or git?

[final iron]

You shouldn’t need an example for this

[fiery girder]

how do i set a callback

idk tbh

[final iron]

!d discord.ui.Select.callback

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Select.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.

[final iron]

It’s an attribute. You set the value to your callback

[fiery girder]

so i put it in the on_select function?

[final iron]

no

on_select is your callback

[fiery girder]

ok got it

Select().callback

[final iron]

All these work arounds can just be avoided by using the select decorator

!d discord.ui.select

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.select

@discord.ui.select(*, cls=discord.ui.select.Select[+ V], options=..., channel_types=..., placeholder=None, custom_id=..., min_values=1, max_values=1, disabled=False, default_values=..., row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a select menu 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 chosen select class.

To obtain the selected values inside the callback, you can use the `values` attribute of the chosen class in the callback. The list of values will depend on the type of select menu used. View the table below for more information.

[fiery girder]

i used the decorator but it didnt work for some reason

oh its small select

i used the big select as decorator

[hardy geyser]

dudw

[fiery girder]

one more question how do i start a Modal

[final iron]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_modal

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a modal.

anyone know to fix this >_<

[final iron]

That’s not an error

[hardy geyser]

whttt its not errror

[final iron]

Take a screenshot of your terminal

[fiery girder]

do you have bot.run(TOKEN) or client.run(TOKEN) in your code

[fiery girder]

file dont exists

[fiery girder]

is this solarhosting?

[hardy geyser]

bot.run

[final iron]

The directory you’re trying to access doesn’t exist

[hardy geyser]

how to do that

[fiery girder]

if this is solarhosting you need to go into the settings and select the file you want to run instead of bot.py

[fiery girder]

Here in Startup put the name of your main file here

[hushed galleon]

err you shouldnt be using the InteractionResponse class directly

normally you reference it from an existing interaction, i.e. interaction.response.send_modal(MyModal(...))

[fiery girder]

oh

[fiery girder]

is there a way to add Options in Modal like a True/False

[winged garden]

no

[fiery girder]

well

[hushed galleon]

unless you're fine with having the user type in that option, not really
i know select menus used to be unofficially supported in modals ( #discord-bots message ), but since then it got removed and they never finished it

I got error "You are missing Mute Members permission(s) to run this command."

but the permission is ok

[final iron]

mute_members isn’t a valid permission

[shrewd vapor]

Oh

timeout_members is valid ?

mute_members is in the doc

[fiery girder]

why have soo many time mesurements

just use like hours

[shrewd vapor]

Because you can mute only 30 secondes or mute 7 days

[fiery girder]

just use minutes than

[shrewd vapor]

I don't think you want to calculate everythimes how many hours for 30 days

[shrewd apex]

make a custom convertor

[fiery girder]

you can use a converter to convert them into days hour min and stuff

[fiery girder]

make it a string

like !mute @kazimabbas 20d

and make a converter to convert it

[shrewd vapor]

yes i know i need to make that, but before i want to fix the error

This is the first version of this command

[fiery girder]

i dont think you need the =True thing

wait nvm you do

[fiery girder]

just use the manage_members permission

!d discord.Permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions

class discord.Permissions(permissions=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up the Discord permission value.

The properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools. This allows you to edit permissions.

Changed in version 1.3: You can now use keyword arguments to initialize [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions) similar to [`update()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.update).

[shrewd vapor]

this code just with the manage_members

its not manage_members but moderate_members

[fiery girder]

you can add an if statement like

if not ctx.author.guild_permission.mute_members:
  await  ctx.reply("YOU DONT HAVE PERMS")
  return

[fiery girder]

well try moderate

[shrewd vapor]

working ty

is good now ? lol

download link for what ?

[slate swan]

https://python.org

[shrewd vapor]

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[slate swan]

I mean.. if you can't download Python in the first place, making a discord bot is probably not the best idea as a beginner project, it's made for people with advanced knowledge with the language itself

[shrewd vapor]

i have really start to learn python with discord bot 3 years ago

[slate swan]

It's literally in the middle of your screen after searching for "python" and clicking the first link..

Will likely be a fun experience when you will face errors :)

[outer violet]

i use mac and i dont see the Install Certificates when i double click

nvm i see it

[queen pond]

how to get started with discord bots?

ik the basics for python

[ember nest]

what is the best discord library so far?

nextcord or discord.py

[severe sonnet]

okay so, how do i get advertisement for my bot?

i want to start earning money with my RP-Utilities bot

[vapid parcel]

How to do thinking=True in hybrid?

dpy

[golden portal]

Just use ctx.typing

[vapid parcel]

nah i got it

        await ctx.defer()

[golden portal]

that's equivalent but sure

[outer violet]

i personally like hikari the best

[snow coral]

It's personal preference

pretty sure nextcord is better for slash commands

[ember nest]

and what would discord.py be better for ?

[ember nest]

also may I know why ?

[outer violet]

More faster and lightweight, has a lot more command handlers to choose from, and gives you more control over the bot imo

It’s powerful unlike dpy since that is extremely beginner friendly

https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari

[final iron]

Can you give some examples of command handlers hikari has?

[outer violet]

hikari-lightbulb, hikari-tanjun, hikari-crescent, (very new) hikari-arc

[final iron]

and how is that a benefit?

You have a variety to choose from, but how is that actually beneficial for the end user?

[outer violet]

depends on the user but they can choose based on their preferred coding style and which one they like more

imo, i use hikari-lightbulb and i found that to be the easiest to switch from dpy to hikari, but each user can have a different preference

[ember nest]

so you're saying that hikari is kinda more professional?

since as u r saying

u say that dpy is more beginner friendly

[outer violet]

yes

[ember nest]

so like what's more professional about hikari

like I do got pretty good experience in python

[outer violet]

both libs are hard to use if you're just starting out with python

[ember nest]

2 years of python so I don't care if it's beginner friendly or not but I want the thing that is more professional and will make better bot using it

[outer violet]

whether hikari is more "professional" than dpy depends on the specific needs and preferences of the developer

hikari is modern and asynchronous with high-performance. dpy is also async and might be considered more "pythonic" and follows the principles of the discord api closely, its also very easy to use and understand

hikari has a smaller community but the devs are active and respond. the docs might be hard to comprehend for a new user, but youll get the hang of it. obviously, dpy is way larger and has easier docs

hikari is more flexible, you get more control over your bot and you can again choose a command handler that you prefer. dpy is less modular than hikari and might be seen as simpler for other developers

[ember nest]

I'm mostly planning to make a public bot to be honest such as probot etc so like I want it to be professional with a big database it will be mostly for moderation plus things like (ticket system, level system, economy system) so yeah I want to make sure that what I'm going with will be able to give me a good results for a public bot

[outer violet]

a lot of people have big bots with hikari

[halcyon magnet]

Hi

[outer violet]

but it depends on your specific needs of your bot, but i would recommend hikari over anything else

[queen pond]

how execly do u get paid from discord bots(if you own them)

[halcyon magnet]

Discord doesn't pay you ,you have add some premium features and earn from it maybe?

[ember nest]

I will definitely check it out thanks

[queen pond]

alr, ty

[final iron]

So really all you get is to choose the command structure

discord.py has had a 7 year lifespan, and covers the entirety of the API

[final iron]

It’s very difficult and rarely done. All you can do is create premium features or commands. Discord bots have a terrible ROI so you shouldn’t expect to make your money back

[timber lotus]

to do a countdown timer, do i just update the message with the correct time left or is there is like a built timer function or anything

[final iron]

You’re going to get ratelimited instantly

[outer violet]

If that lib floats your boat

[final iron]

There’s just no objective reason on why hikari is better than discord.py

phrasing it as such is misleading

[timber lotus]

exactly my issue, so how should i go about doing that?

[outer violet]

If that’s what you think

[final iron]

Provide an objective reason then lol

[outer violet]

I also never stated anything about hikari being better than dpy lol
I stated some pros about hikari and why one would switch from dpy to hikari

[final iron]

“It’s powerful unlike dpy since that is extremely beginner friendly”

[outer violet]

Yeah

And anyone who uses hikari from dpy should know

[final iron]

In what way is it more powerful?

Choosing your command handler isn’t a reason lol

[outer violet]

Never said it was

Idk what you’re so pressed about

[final iron]

Nothing you can do. Rethink the timer I guess. You can use discord timestamps instead

[outer violet]

Not gonna argue with someone who’s chronically online

[final iron]

I’m not pressed, im just challenging your position

You made an objective statement and are refusing to back it up

[timber lotus]

how do countdown bots work then? they show a countdown, like dyno, is it the embed the issue?

[outer violet]

No I just don’t want to argue with someone who’s chronically online. I stated the pros about hikari and why one would switch over, suggesting to the person who wants a new lib to learn and see if they want to go with hikari and you can’t seem to handle that

[final iron]

No, you said hikari is more powerful than discord.py and listed a choice of command handler as your only reason

[final iron]

dunno what countdown you’re referring to

You’ll have to show an example

[sick birch]

can you show us what you mean

[final iron]

Ion even use large bots like dyno

Hate em all

[sick birch]

based

[timber lotus]

yea of course, how can i show what a bot does? want me to invite you to my server to see dyno?

[sick birch]

send a screenshot

[timber lotus]

ahh gotcha

[final iron]

Also keep in mind basing your features on large bots implementations isn’t a good idea as they have access to more lenient rate limits

[outer violet]

👍

[final iron]

😹

[timber lotus]

it does it for the last minute. up until the it says like 57 minutes left, etc..

[sick birch]

yeah that's a discord timestamp

[final iron]

Yup, those are discord timestamps

[timber lotus]

oh ok... thanks, ill go learn about discord timestamps hahah

[sick birch]

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime) for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

[final iron]

I have a gist for you

[sick birch]

here's a utility method to make it

[final iron]

One moment

[sick birch]

make sure the style is "R"

[drifting arrow]

Is it possible to have a command be both slash and text?
for example:
/reply
!reply

[sick birch]

yes, they're called hybrid commands

but they're a bit more complex and have limitations so just be wary of that

[final iron]

https://gist.github.com/LeviSnoot/d9147767abeef2f770e9ddcd91eb85aa
@timber lotus

[drifting arrow]

What are the limitations?

[timber lotus]

oh ok, im already usong datetime to figure out the end time

[final iron]

Which library are you using?

[drifting arrow]

discordpy

the best one

[sick birch]

text command parsing is a lot richer than slash commands, but like in many systems the chain is as weak as the weakest link, so your text commands are significantly nerfed so they're compatible with their slash command counterparts

[final iron]

Main one i can think of is autocomplete and choices

[sick birch]

ie no more greedy parsing or any sort of dynamic parsing. most of your converters are out too

[final iron]

They’ve severely limited with hybrid commands

[timber lotus]

so this would replace my format function i already have?

[drifting arrow]

Fortunately I dont need them.

[sick birch]

can you show us the format function that you already have?

[golden portal]

greedy do work, but they are just a single argument instead when converted to slash

[hushed galleon]

there's a list of some things that aren't supported in the docs:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#hybrid-commands
basically no nested group commands, variadic arguments, or union types, but both @app_commands.* and @commands.* decorators can be applied at the same time

[drifting arrow]

wait wait wait. nested group commands?!

[drifting arrow]

Why not just convert it to epoch time (it's epoch right?) and juse use this https://gist.github.com/LeviSnoot/d9147767abeef2f770e9ddcd91eb85aa

[sick birch]

yeah probably

[timber lotus]

day 12 of coding python bro....... thats why hahah. i figured i wasnt doing it the most efficient way but it was working lol

[final iron]

Would the parent command of a hybrid group have the ability to only be invoked via prefix, or is it disabled outright for the sake of the library

[drifting arrow]

oh dang. well. goodjob then. ur already as good as me ;D

[timber lotus]

hahaha

[drifting arrow]

and I've been straggling along here ignoring the advice of the pros for over 2 years now

Do as I don't and you'll be a pro in no time

Follow the pepp8 standards.

[hushed galleon]

a fallback= argument can be specified in the hybrid_group() decorator which defines the subcommand name that it'll map to

[drifting arrow]

https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/

[final iron]

ah

[timber lotus]

ok so ill just replace my current countdown stuff with epoch in the field and it will update according to the the format i choose? which would be relative time?

[drifting arrow]

if you do epoch time and use discords built in time converters, it'll change the format to your local time

So you dont need to worry about it being in the correct time format for everybody

it'll just translate it for you.

For example, if i convert my current machine time to epoch and use the discords time formatting, you might see it as 30/12/2023 whereas for me it's 31/12/2023 right now

#Australian

it might even put it as 12/30/2023

idk, i'm not american.

[timber lotus]

does that matter if its just countng down a duration? im already converting it to the um... i forget the name. the seconds since 1970 or something and thats how im saving in the database for end time or id have to change that to?

[hushed galleon]

i havent seen first-hand the restrictions on hybrid groups, but if you look at what's supported in the discord api docs, discord.py hybrid commands might only support the very first example shown there based on the prior link

actually source code seems to line up with this limitation too:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/ext/commands/hybrid.py#L774-L775

[drifting arrow]

Are u posting the time to discord?

[timber lotus]

im not displaying the time, i want to display how much time until a specified duration is over. im doing a giveaway just dyno

and want to do a countown timer like dyno

[final iron]

<t:1703997900:R>

[drifting arrow]

Oh then whatever you're doing is fine. disregard what I'm saying. I thought you were posting it to discord for all to see.

[final iron]

@timber lotus This is an example of what you’re looking for

[timber lotus]

i wanted a 00:00 but since thats not possible, ill settle for whatever is haha so yes

[final iron]

Win some you lose some

[drifting arrow]

Yep

[timber lotus]

haha exactly

[drifting arrow]

If I was going to do a giveaway bot, I'd get a bit lazy.

I'd set up one of those looping thingies discordpy provides, have it check every minute once started (It starts off..)
When I do /giveaway X time, it will post an embed to the channel, turn loopy on, store time in database. if time.now() is equal to or greater than stored db time. the giveaway ends \o/

[drifting arrow]

I'll look into it. The command only has 1 input anyway.
/reply Whatever you want to say
and
!reply whatever you want to say

Basically it's so people can reply to the support ticket.

I just want a hybrid command coz most support bots use !m to reply and I want to capitalize on that nonsense by also having !m 😄

[timber lotus]

yea i already have code for ending the giveaway, a check loop. it starts when the cogs loads but stops if returns no giveaways with current_time that hasnt passed the end time, has started and winner is null in teh database. the it gets called when the start button is pressed. i had the update countdown timer seperate, so i should put this in with the checks? im already saving the message_id, i assume i need that for it? or should i put this in my embed?

[sick birch]

you can skip all of that because you can just sleep until a given time

no need to loop every minute, it's inaccurate

[drifting arrow]

O:

discordpy has sleep?! or were you thinking asyncio.sleep?

or are both the same?

[hushed galleon]

wait, bots need people to reply to a ticket with a command? seems a bit over complicated

[sick birch]

discordpy has a sleep until until iirc

but you can also just use asyncio sleep

[timber lotus]

i was trying to use asyncio sleep to update the message

but kept getting rate limited and got me thinking i wasnt doing it efficiently

[sick birch]

subtract the target datetime from the current time, get seconds, pass into sleep

[drifting arrow]

No. The ticket itself uses a command.

So to open a ticket, you DM a bot. answer all the fun questions.
A channel is made, you as the general user, cant see the ticket, but staff can. inside the ticket is private sensitive stuff the staff needs to address the ticket etc. but they can also discuss the issue.
The staff can then use a command to reply to the ticket (send a message to the user)
and if the user wants to reply, they dm the bot.

it's not my favorite way of doing a support ticket bot, but it's what the community likes/wants so it's what I'm catering to

[sick birch]

sounds a lot like @novel apex

[drifting arrow]

basically

[timber lotus]

so can i use any of this? or start over

[drifting arrow]

But i need modifications to it

[sick birch]

it's source code could serve as inspiration to you, perhaps

or you can modify it directly like we've done

[drifting arrow]

na it's fine. I've already made my own bot

it's not the greatest..

[sick birch]

you don't need any of that

Discord handles updating the time remaining on its own client side

[hushed galleon]

note that string parameters for slash commands don't support newlines, so if that's important you'd probably have to make a separate slash command that pops up a modal for them to type their text (though this trades off markdown preview/autocompletion cause thanks discord)

[timber lotus]

nice.... so i guess put that in the embed and discord will do the work for me?

[sick birch]

yes

[drifting arrow]

well slash commands dont really work on mobile anyway.

[hushed galleon]

ah, ive never used a ticket system like that

[drifting arrow]

Also. as long as ur typing within the param field box, it doesnt matter.

[timber lotus]

thank you bro! i really appreciate the help. thank you everyone

[sick birch]

No worries

[drifting arrow]

see 😄

[hushed galleon]

how about using a message context menu to trigger a reply? they send their message as normal and then right click > apps > reply to ticket
imo it's still a worse experience than the prefix command, but better than a slash command

[drifting arrow]

I could just have the bot delete their original message, resend it, and attach buttons..

if the original author clicks the button it sends.

[hushed galleon]

alternatively pinging the bot as a prefix might be a reasonable solution, particularly if you were making a ticket bot that couldn't use the message content intent

[drifting arrow]

hhmm

[hushed galleon]

do all of them at once and see what your users prefer

[drifting arrow]

OR

Alright. Hear me out.

Frick what they want. I do it my way 😄

what is this error?

i am coding a dropdown list that works smth like this:
the user runs the /resources command
it shows the dropdown list with two options (IGCSE & ALEVEL)
when the user selects an option
it shows the subject group (Science, Mathematics , English and more)
when the user selects an option, it should edit the message to shows the subject links to a website

[hushed galleon]

the multidict dependency has no pre-built wheels for python 3.12 so pip is asking you to install c++ build tools in order to compile it

to fix it you can either downgrade to python 3.11 (easiest solution), or follow its recommendation to compile the package if you want to keep python 3.12

[hushed galleon]

apparently IGCSE isn't a subclass of View, which is what you need in order to use the view= parameter

[old vine]

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

this is my code, i have no previous knowledge on dropdowns.. can someone help me?

[hushed galleon]

in your case you can either put your ICGSE select class inside a view: py view = discord.ui.View(...) view.add_item(ICGSE()) or rewrite it as a view subclass using discord.py's decorator syntax, which you might find easier to read: ```py
class ICGSE(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.select(options=...)
async def subject_group(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, select: discord.ui.Select):
... # works the same as callback()

view = ICGSE()```

[old vine]

huh i don't get it

[hushed galleon]

so in discord.py, you can only send message components (buttons and select menus) by putting them inside a "view", an object that contains all the components for a message

[old vine]

yea

[hushed galleon]

right now you've basically written await interaction.response.send_message(view=ICGSE()) which discord.py doesn't support because your ICGSE class inherits discord.ui.Select, not View

[old vine]

yes....

[hushed galleon]

so you need to either put your ICGSE select inside a view object which you can give to send_message(), or you can turn ICGSE into a view subclass where the select menu is already defined in the class, and then give that to send_message()

[drifting arrow]

Soo..

My pc crashed

Guess my stupidity caught up to me

But I’m back!

[hushed galleon]

oh wait you're using nextcord, in which case the second example should have (self, select, interaction) for the callback parameters (docs)

fyi you've already been doing the first approach in your code, for example in the IGCSE callback you create a view and add your various buttons to it: py view = discord.ui.View(timeout=None) for subject in subreddits[group].keys(): view.add_item( discord.ui.Button(label=subject, ...)) await interaction.response.edit_message(view=view)

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Message Content Intent

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

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

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

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

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

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

[timber lotus]

how do i set sizes for buttons under an embed? i only have 2 so i want them to sit side by side and equal size. right now more letters = bigger button and not always side by side

There's no way to explicitly configure button size, however you might be able to do that with whitespace chars

how to use cmd without prefix

[slate swan]

set prefix to empty string

or if you want to use either with or without prefix

set prefix to tuple like this ("!", "") also i belive you have to put empty string last

other wise every prefix after it wouldnt work

or maybe not actually

doesnt matter rn

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command\_prefix

The command prefix is what the message content must contain initially to have a command invoked. This prefix could either be a string to indicate what the prefix should be, or a callable that takes in the bot as its first parameter and discord.Message as its second parameter and returns the prefix. This is to facilitate “dynamic” command prefixes. This callable can be either a regular function or a coroutine.

An empty string as the prefix always matches, enabling prefix-less command invocation. While this may be useful in DMs it should be avoided in servers, as it’s likely to cause performance issues and unintended command invocations.

its explained in the note

[severe sonnet]

can anyone help? I have no idea how i will do this:
my plan is to allow people to create macros that are string commands created to the bot, for exaple:
##attack
it will roll 1d20 since inside ##attack there is the command:
!roll 1d20
being the ! the thing that will decide the command, if you want math it would be like
!math 2+2
and that would be inside a command with double # at the beggining, for example i can call it ##simplemath
my sintax to create the command is, having an input for command name and an input for the command string, for example:
/macro create ##attack "!roll (1d20+5)"
and i'm also planning to add if and else case, example:
/macro create ##attack "!echo (sucess) !if (!roll 1d20 > 10) !else (!echo (failure))"
so the bot will first make the roll to confirm if the randomizer got higher than 10 in roll 1d20, in failure it will output "failure", on sucess it will output "sucess"

https://mystb.in/DefenseNumberHiring

like, it probably need some complex coding that i don't know

so i need someone experient to help me out on this

[fiery girder]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        checker = message.content
        if not checker.startswith("##"):
            return
``` this is useless this doesnt havea purpose if you dontplan on adding any

being honest i dont get what you are tring to do

[severe sonnet]

it's to check if the message is a macro

where are you missing?

[fiery girder]

but you are justing returning anyway to whats the point of check

[severe sonnet]

yeah, it's because i'm gonna use it later

[fiery girder]

ok then its k

[severe sonnet]

like, if i already created ##attack for example

when i execute ##attack

it will roll 1d20 and return the result

[fiery girder]

the think i am understandign you are trying to do is you have user enter a string then you convert that string into there corresponding commands?

and run them accordingly

[severe sonnet]

yes

[fiery girder]

you can prob use a dictionary to do so

[severe sonnet]

uhmm, any examples?

[fiery girder]

wait a sec

[severe sonnet]

so i can copy the model?

oh, oki doki

[fiery girder]

    print("I am attacking!")

    print("I am rolling!")

    "jump": jump,
    "defend": defend
}

message = "attack jump defend roll"
for word in message.split():
    if word in methods:
        methods[word]()

you can link the word to a function

and rolle them in order

@severe sonnet

you can make 1000s of commands and just use this

[severe sonnet]

uhmm i see

method

[fiery girder]

!e

def attack():
    print("I am attacking!")    
def roll():

you can even change the order and it will execute according ly @severe sonnet

[earnest zephyr]

can anyone help me?

any one???

[severe sonnet]

oh yeah, time ti implement

[fiery girder]

with?

[earnest zephyr]

i’ll tell you in dms

[fiery girder]

good luck

[severe sonnet]

okay uhmm, how do i separate the contents of my string command?

i'm planning to either with !if and !else and without them

for example

!math (25+5) !if (!roll (1d20+5) > 15) !else (!math (-5+0))

so i want it to be separated like

["!if", ["!roll", "1d20+5", "> 5"],["!math", "25+5"], "!else", ["!math", "-5+0"]]

so the program will first make a check, then if true execute the 2 index, else it will return to else to execute the 4 index

or, to make it more organized

[["!if", ["!roll", "1d20+5", "> 5"],["!math", "25+5"]], ["!else", ["!math", "-5+0"]]]

now without if and else

!math 25+5

would be

["!math", "25+5"]

[fiery girder]

you prob need to add some paces

[naive briar]

if its like !math 2+2 !attack 5
you can just check which one of them returns a function and use the rest as the inputs

uhmm, example?

oh i get it

[severe sonnet]

thought in this case i will need to use regex to separate

[acoustic kernel]

Awesome thank you

[severe sonnet]

okay so, the problem here is to organize the input and command in such a way i can work it out better

[fiery girder]

!e

def math(a):
    print(a + a)
def attack(int):
    print(f"I am attacking {int}!")    
def roll(str):
    print(f"I am rolling {str}")
def jump(obj):
    print(f"I am jumping to {obj}!")
def defend(opponent):
    print(f"I am defending! against {opponent}")

methods = {
    "attack": attack,
    "roll": roll,
    "jump": jump,
    "defend": defend,
    "math": math
}

message = "math 2 attack 5 defend mike jump wall"
method = None
for word in message.split():
    if word in methods:
        method = methods[word]
    else:
        method(word)```

[severe sonnet]

cus using .split() gonna make it confuse to manage it

[acoustic kernel]

Hold on, this is for a channel, I need to look for a category

[severe sonnet]

oh i see, though, since i'm using () to input i have no idea how i will organize

[fiery girder]

!e discord.CatergoryChannel

[fiery girder]

its a CatergoryChannel

!d discord.CategoryChannel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel

class discord.CategoryChannel```
Represents a Discord channel category.

These are useful to group channels to logical compartments.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

x != y Checks if two channels are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the category’s hash.

str(x) Returns the category’s name.

[severe sonnet]

let me see a thing

[fiery girder]

what thing

[severe sonnet]

!e

cmdstr = "!math (2+5**2) !f (!roll (1d20) > 5) !else !math (5+2)"
cmdstr.split()
print(cmdstr)

[unkempt canyon]

@severe sonnet :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

!math (2+5**2) !f (!roll (1d20) > 5) !else !math (5+2)

[fiery girder]

now you can take !math for one comand and the brackets as a input

[severe sonnet]

!e

cmdstr = "!math (2+5**2) !f (!roll (1d20) > 5) !else !math (5+2)"
result = cmdstr.split()
print(result)

[unkempt canyon]

@severe sonnet :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

['!math', '(2+5**2)', '!f', '(!roll', '(1d20)', '>', '5)', '!else', '!math', '(5+2)']

[severe sonnet]

okay i'm starting to realize

[fiery girder]

you can easily remove ! from !math

[severe sonnet]

yeah though i'm planning to use ! as a command definitor

it's to make it easier for macro programmers create their macros

like a signalizer

[fiery girder]

yea you can do that

[brazen geyser]

hey guys, im making my suggestion system and its my first time working with Modals. can someone help me with this error please

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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.

[fiery girder]

sure i have worked with models befor

[final iron]

How are you sending the modal

Modals shouldn’t be added to views

[brazen geyser]

from button

[fiery girder]

no like how you can sending them like in code

show code

[brazen geyser]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/2R3A

[brazen geyser]

here

[final iron]

You never called super().init on the Modal subclass

[brazen geyser]

i need to call it?

[fiery girder]

[brazen geyser]

like this, right?

[fiery girder]

yes

[brazen geyser]

im still getting this

[final iron]

Does this error occur when submitting it

[brazen geyser]

yes

[slate swan]

I want to code a discord command that uses roblox api to find users with premium does anyone know how i could do this

[final iron]

Is your discord.py version up to date

[brazen geyser]

how can i check it?

[final iron]

pip show discord

[brazen geyser]

huhh?

[slate swan]

@final iron so i have a key system and i have the keys that are generated sent to a .txt in my files, I would want to create a command that can remove keys. Do you know how I could do this?

commands wont work getting 0 errors

[fiery girder]

which command

[slate swan]

try putting await bot.process_commands at the end of on_message event

outside of the if statements

[finite salmon]

Your gen command won't save the content to the file since you aren't closing the file

You could instead use with open (...) as f: if you don't want to handle the closing of the file

[slate swan]

Everything

[fiery girder]

does while loops interfere with async def functions

[slate swan]

which code should i replace for that

[finite salmon]

No, only using functions which are non async will block your code

[slate swan]

@finite salmon

[vale wing]

await log_msg.edit(embed=approve, view=self)

Pretty sure this is inside your modal's on_submit(), hence self is instance of Modal and not View

[vale wing]

Yeah line 83 right here

[slate swan]

Currently you will only execute commands if the message contains http:// or discord.gg and the user has the manage_messages permission

You probably want to check if the user doesn't have the manage messages permission and then delete the message and send your informational message.
And process_commands all the time, so outside of your if statement checking if http:// or discord.gg is in the message

[vale wing]

Consider this gen code optimization

async def gen(ctx: commands.Context, amount: commands.Range[int, 1, None]):  # notice the amount typehint
    keys = [uuid.uuid4() for _ in range(amount)]
    keys_txt = '\n'.join(keys)
    
    await ctx.send(f"Key{'s' if len(keys) > 1 else ''}:\n{keys_txt}"

    with open("keys.txt", "a") as f:
        f.write(keys_txt + "\n")

[slate swan]

с новым годом из России!!

[languid sequoia]

How can I make my bot speak with Text to Speech in a discord message?

[vale wing]

Happy 2024 comrade

[floral void]

Hey ho

we have 2023 11:02 PM

Hey, is anyone familiar with Application commands

[slate swan]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/755541333518844014.gif?size=48&quality=lossless

[floral void]

@slate swan yay, do you know how to translate messages sent into the channel?

[slate swan]

never made something like that unfortunately

but you would have to create a custom translator by
subclassing app_commands.Translator I guess

[timber lotus]

is there a way to make it so if a bot goes offline buttons still work when it comes back on?

buttons posted in an embed, for say, a giveaway haha

ahh i have to make the view persistant....

[weary copper]

I'm trying to make a discord bot by subclassing from commands.Bot, but maaaaan I'm getting every error under the sun

initial version example:

from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Intents
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os


class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self, command_prefix, description, intents):
        super().__init__(
            command_prefix=command_prefix,
            description=description,
            intents=intents
        )
    
    async def on_ready(self):
        print(f"Logged in as {self.user}!")

    @commands.command()
    async def hello(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("hello")


load_dotenv()
TOKEN = os.environ["BOT_TEST_TOKEN"]

bot = MyBot(
    command_prefix="test/",
    description="Test Bot",
    intents=Intents.all()
)
bot.run(TOKEN)```
it runs, but as soon as I try to call the hello command (with `test/hello`) I can told hello doesn't exist as a command (`discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "hello" is not found`)

I then tried to manually register the command in __init__:

    def __init__(self, command_prefix, description, intents):
        super().__init__(
            command_prefix=command_prefix,
            description=description,
            intents=intents
        )
        self.add_command(self.hello)```
I then get `discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: MyBot.hello() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx` when trying to use the command. but ctx is literally in the function definition?!

[timber lotus]

im new to python and discord but pretty sure you need intents bro

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.members = True
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/", intents=intents)

[weary copper]

I have intents

[timber lotus]

ahh yea i dont recognize that. i copied mine from the docs

[weary copper]

Intents.all() is towards the bottom of the first block

it's weird because I never had issues with making bots by just defining functions

but I have had nothing but issues since trying to making a bot class

which makes me think I'm doing something wrong

[timber lotus]

and i had to use app_commands and then set the command up like this to get it into the slash command come up

@app_commands.command(name='channel-info',
                        description='Displays information about the channel or category'
                       )
  async def channel_info(self,
                         interaction: discord.Interaction):```

[weary copper]

hmm i'll try

[timber lotus]

from discord import app_commands

need that for app commands

or so i think. im new bro, im just saying what i had to do get the bot im working on to start getting the commands in the slash pop up

[weary copper]

ah yeah I'm just getting an argument error

and no worries, I appreciate you trying to help tho

[barren gyro]

Hello everyone! How are yall?

Quick question:

Does any body know how to work with cogs and stuff? I've been trying to work with it all day long and no matter what I do I can't get it working. :/

[timber lotus]

😆
i can tell you what i had to do haha

but read above, im new and this is my first bot

[barren gyro]

🥲 Okay.

[timber lotus]

i have 8 cogs in my bot

[weary copper]

from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Intents
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os


load_dotenv()
TOKEN = os.environ["BOT_TEST_TOKEN"]


bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix="test/",
    description="Test Bot",
    intents=Intents.all()
)


async def on_ready(self):
    print(f"Logged in as {self.user}!")


@bot.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("hello")


bot.run(TOKEN)```
this works perfectly fine for me ![PepeHands](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/763301238615048202.webp?size=128 "PepeHands") but subclassing doesn't

[weary copper]

oh man, cogs were another issue I had LOL

I kept getting async errors

[timber lotus]

haha i feel somewhat confident and createing and getting them to load

[weary copper]

i told myself I would come back to this tomorrow instead, but it's just been bugging me so much lol

i swear my bot was working last week when I last worked on it

[barren gyro]

Well I got it to where it din't give erros but some reason it was not technically imported correctly and the command did not work. The console said command not found.

[weary copper]

oh man. i'm having command not found as well

although my issue crops up even without cogs

[weary copper]

like this

my code is literally exactly the same as everyone else's online, but my commands won't get added

[weary copper]

(unless I'm missing something)

[barren gyro]

oh lol "doesn't exist as a command (discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "hello" is not found)" Thats exactly what it said to me.

[weary copper]

yep lmao

wish I could help

[barren gyro]

Its alr. Ima keep trying 🥲

[timber lotus]

can you share your code

[timber lotus]

im not even sure what subclassing is bro hahah

[weary copper]

oh it's just when you make a class and inherit from something else

eg in my top block of code where I do

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    ...```

[timber lotus]

ohhh ok so i do that when i make a cog and then use stuff from that cog other places

[barren gyro]

oof i have 367 lines of code in my main file because I can't figure cogs out.

Can't get it

To import, I was using:

async def load_extensions(bot): for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'): if filename.endswith(".py"): bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

and others wich I removed.

[timber lotus]

ok well i didnt import mine that way, i added under the onready(), how about this, share 1 command that you would want in a cog

[barren gyro]

uh this one for example:

@bot.command(name="memes") async def memes(ctx: commands.Context): embed = discord.Embed( title="Error", description="This feature has been temporally removed by the bot Administrators.", color=discord.Color.red() ) await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[barren gyro]

I also tried like that by bot.load_extentions(cogs.cmds) but din't work.

[timber lotus]

!pastebin

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]

Will do so

[timber lotus]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZA3A

[timber lotus]

using your info, thats how my bot does it and it works.

[timber lotus]

i messed up, it should be this to send it
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[barren gyro]

Oh

It work- let me delete the cmds from the main file.

It doesn't for me. I must be doing something wrong.

[timber lotus]

use !pastebin and just share you whole code bro, 400 isnt alot haha

[barren gyro]

;-; k

[timber lotus]

did you see i messed and used the wrong interaction to send the embed?

[barren gyro]

YEa

[barren gyro]

is a whole mess I'm warning ya 🥲

It got removed.

[timber lotus]

the link did?

[barren gyro]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/DPFQ

[barren gyro]

A whole mess.. 🥲

[timber lotus]

im not used to bot commands haha ive only used the app_commands

[barren gyro]

Oh

[timber lotus]

when you tried my way, was the cog file in a folder named cogs?

[barren gyro]

Yes.

[timber lotus]

dont know why, but it has to be haha

is there a reason why your using ! as your command prefix?

[barren gyro]

But is the loading code correct?

[timber lotus]

i thought / was standard

[barren gyro]

A not really. Just simple to use yk.

[timber lotus]

ah gotcha

[barren gyro]

That is for slash commands

[timber lotus]

i was just curious.

[barren gyro]

No worries. 😄

[timber lotus]

and dont want slash commands? thats what i used lol

didnt know there were different ones hahah

[barren gyro]

😅 There are slash commands and text commands.

I think yea

[timber lotus]

ahhh oh yea i remember now

i wanted mine to show up in the discord pop up

let me see if i still have this webpage saved. it talked bot.load_extensions

[barren gyro]

Oh. Okay.

[barren gyro]

I'm pretty sure its the way I am loading it whats wrong.

`@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print('Bot is ready')
bot.activity = discord.activity.Game(name="! help")
try:
synced = await bot.tree.sync()
print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)!")
except Exception as e:
print(e)
await bot.load_extension("cogs.Commands.py")

`

[timber lotus]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/extensions.html
well your import is wrong at least, suppose to be from discord.ext import commands not from cogs. id start there

and dont think you have to "load" it if im understanding that page correctly... its news year eve,... been drinking and smoking haha

ahhh thats for the file not the main

[barren gyro]

0_____0 Okay.-

[timber lotus]

so yea probably have to load in the main a way..

[barren gyro]

Ima see if I can get that sorted out.

[timber lotus]

usually this group is popping hahaha kinda sad im your only resource jajaja

on the main should bot.add_command under on_ready

add_command is whatever the command name is

so it would me add_command(meme) for the one example you gabe

bot.add_command(meme)

[barren gyro]

🥲

[barren gyro]

Ohh

ohh Makes kinda sence

[timber lotus]

that will be the same as whatever you have under async def setup(bot) in the file. now this isnt cog, so dont think it needs to be in a folder

dont forget to import it the file into the main

[barren gyro]

btw, the code you provided is giving 13 errors is that ok?

[barren gyro]

Will do.

[timber lotus]

13 errors? haha um... probably not haha

[barren gyro]

Fixed it 😅

[timber lotus]

lol how???

[barren gyro]

It was not ordered correctly lol smh when I pasted it it din't paste the right way if that makes sence.

[timber lotus]

ahh the indents...

i dont know the different coding softwares but i use replit and their ai catches all of that

[barren gyro]

I feel I will give up, will have 1k+ lines of code 🥹

[barren gyro]

Really?

[timber lotus]

yea. its pretty great for simple stuff like that and it also generates code. great for beginers like myself because even if it dont work, it gives me a starting point or tells me which stuff to use, etc. and it hosts my bot. its cost money per month tho but not that much

[timber lotus]

haha bro i just finished a couple giveaway commands that was 480some lines. that was my 8th cog. its all about organization bro, make your code modular and its easier to trace errors and also when you want to change something

[barren gyro]

Oof.

[barren gyro]

Ima try this on replit see if it helps or something.
