discord-bots

[slate swan]

this channel is for discord bots so you will more likely get help in #1035199133436354600

[leaden olive]

gyus?

[glad cradle]

you are supposed to typehint them with just str so e.g url: str

[gritty mantle]

hi i was creating a bot and was making a -wheel command where the user spends 20 aces and can win prizes such as 50 aces, 100 aces, 1000 aces or nothing.
i was wondering if the bot could show an actual wheel spinning and the user can see what they won

[pale zenith]

yes, you can use a GIF.

now, generating such potentially complicated GIF- don't ask me 😅

[gritty mantle]

oh yeah i got an idea now

thank you so much

[abstract fox]

hey! I've got an error regarding trying to delete a message, as the aforementioned script doesn't work.

await interaction.response.delete_original_response()```
simply does not exist according to VSC

[pale zenith]

update discord.py in the correct environment

[abstract fox]

wdym

[pale zenith]

[your python executable] -m pip install --upgrade discord.py

uhh I can't remember how you get the python executable that VSCode uses, but it should use the default so try py, or python, or python3

[abstract fox]

it's py

in my case at least

[hushed galleon]

vsc's right, delete_original_response() is actually a method of Interaction and not the response

!d discord.Interaction.delete_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.delete\_original\_response

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

Deletes the original interaction response message.

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

[abstract fox]

still didn't work?

[hushed galleon]

did you respond before calling that method?

[abstract fox]

Yes.

[hushed galleon]

then what error did you get?

[abstract fox]

@bot.tree.command(name="echo", description="Echoes a message.")
@app_commands.describe(message="The message to echo.")
async def echo(interaction: discord.Interaction, message: str) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message("failed badly")
    await interaction.followup.send(message)
    await delete_original_response()

that's the code

[hushed galleon]

er, you have to call it on the interaction object itself

[abstract fox]

huh

[hushed galleon]

the codeblock shown in this documentation is just a shortened format, they assume you know how to call that method on whatever interaction object you have

[abstract fox]

could you explain how i would do that tho?

[hushed galleon]

you know how you wrote interaction.response? that syntax means you're retrieving the attribute called "response" from the variable "interaction"

[abstract fox]

yh

[hushed galleon]

"delete_original_response" is also an attribute of interaction so to access it, you would write interaction.delete_original_response

[abstract fox]

okay! that makes sense!

thank you so much!

[slate swan]

method

[hushed galleon]

of course, delete_original_response is a method that won't do anything until you () call and await it

[abstract fox]

additionally, is there any way for me to make the second message not be a reply? if so, how?

[hushed galleon]

oh, that reply syntax appears because you responded to the interaction with send_message()

[abstract fox]

await interaction.followup.send(message)```
for this line

[hushed galleon]

i forgot, does the followup have that same appearance or does it look like a regular message?

oh you are referring to that line

[abstract fox]

the followup

yh it replys to the message i get deleted

so for a /echo command which im using to test, it looks very weird

[hushed galleon]

in that case you have to directly send a message to the channel rather than using the interaction's followup webhook which has that effect

!d discord.Interaction.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.channel

The channel the interaction was sent from.

Note that due to a Discord limitation, if sent from a DM channel recipient is None.

[abstract fox]

okay

[hushed galleon]

retrieve the TextChannel from that and then .send() to it, basically the same way as followup.send()

[copper nacelle]

whats the difference between pycord and discord.py

the docs are the exact same

[slate swan]

they differ in terms of slash commands

of how they are designed

[copper nacelle]

so other than slash commands they are the same?

[slate swan]

there are other changes but pycord is a fork of discord.py so most of the things are the same

[copper nacelle]

oh alright

[near rain]

Hey, I have a problem with my discord bot.
I have tried to import this package but it doesn't seem to let me.
from discord.commands import Option
It says that it has been successfully installed, but it is still red underlined.
Could anybody help me with this problem?

[slate swan]

cause it doesnt exist

[sick birch]

What are you trying to make

[hushed galleon]

perhaps you're referring to @discord.commands.option() which only exists in py-cord?
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.commands.option

[flat solstice]

Hi, I'm having issues with one of my commands where I'm getting my container info output multiple times in my embed and I'm not sure why. You can find my code at the paste below along with an example entry from the containerslist variable
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VOEY3FM2IBLHEENJMQS57DPHXI
I'm only getting each container entry once in the file so my duplicted fields in the embed must be cuased by one of my loops

[hushed galleon]

this is probably the loop causing you issues, but its hard to tell what it does because the indentation's missing: py for field in fields: currentembed: discord.Embed = embed.copy() while len(currentembed.fields) < 5: currentembed.add_field(name=field.name, value=field.value, inline=False) embeds.append(currentembed)

personally i'd chunk each field into groups of 5, then create a new embed for each chunk

e.g. py for i in range(0, len(things), 5): chunk = things[i:i + 5] page = embed.copy() for item in chunk: ...

[flat solstice]

oh that's weird, I have 4 levels of indentation in my ide but the paste site has only put 1 in.
I had a feeling the while might not be the best choice. I think enumerate(things) might be better but I'll give your suggestion a go

[hushed galleon]

im not sure how enumerate() would help here, the purpose is to have range() step in increments of 5 so it produces N chunks of at most 5 items each

oh as a sidenote, if you're using pycord's EmbedField, you can slightly simplify the code by passing it directly to Embed.append_field() instead of add_field()

[flat solstice]

oh okay thanks, I'll take a look at that

[faint echo]

Hey, although this question is not exactly about coding using Discord.py it is related to discord.py documentation.
I want to download the entire documentation https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/ for discord.py as a PDF or whatever into my computer, this way I can easily access it while offline.
How can I accomplish this?
The downloads page on the website has outdated docs from 2017.

[hushed galleon]

dpy's documentation is handled by the sphinx documentation generator so you probably could download the source code, install dpy with the docs extra, and then build the .html docs

github: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/v2.3.2
sphinx quickstart: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/quickstart.html#running-the-build
their build workflow: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/.github/workflows/build.yml

i just tried it myself and er, it was a bit of a pain because it would install sphinxcontrib dependencies that weren't compatible with Sphinx 4.4.0 used by dpy (at least when using python 3.11), but upgrading it to 5.3.0 seemed to be sufficient

[pale zenith]

for what it's worth:

git clone https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
cd discord.py
pip install .[docs]
cd docs
./make.bat html

built HTML files will be in /docs/_build/html

[hushed galleon]

definitely worth using a venv given how many dependencies it requires

[pale zenith]

[faint echo]

@pale zenith @hushed galleon Thanks for help, will look into it.

So here is my code for when someone boosts in a server n stuff like that.

Only issue is it detects the first boost, how can I make it detect each boost and add a count of how many boosts this user has done in the server n stuff like that?

[naive briar]

You may want to listen for the system message that is sent when someone boosts the guild instead

!d discord.MessageType.premium_guild_subscription

[unkempt canyon]

discord.MessageType.premium\_guild\_subscription

The system message denoting that a member has “nitro boosted” a guild.

[vapid parcel]

Wait... what if the server doesn't have system messages on?

[naive briar]

There's no other way that I know of

[vapid parcel]

Well this works with and without system messages on

But Idk how to track when they boost again is the only issue right now lol

The way you are talking about would require system messages to be on, and not all servers do that. So i have no clue how I could keep track unless I store it in a db, which I truly don't wanna do all of that lol

[vapid parcel]

Hey im wondering if its possible to get a display banner? Like the banner that a person has on in the server, not global tho? Kinda like display avatars.

yes but doesnt look like its this file

I got a question, dealing with discord bots what does it mean when you through a error and it say invalid intentions or define intentions

but when I do I do intentions = discord.Intentions.default

[slate swan]

its Intents

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[opaque jacinth]

yeah I tried that but it kept throwing the same error

maybe because i did intentions = discord.Intentions

[slate swan]

then show this error

[opaque jacinth]

Exception has occurred: TypeError
Client.init() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'
File "C:\Users\jonat\OneDrive\Documents\PythonDiscordBot\bot.py", line 22, in <module>

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[red blade]

you need to add intents

[slate swan]

its all explained here

[boreal sage]

can anyone explain whats a token bot?

[opaque jacinth]

its what makes the bot yours

[boreal sage]

(for context, audit logs show that my friend banned ppl from server but when i ask him he says a token bot did it)

[slate swan]

you want to know what it is and how it works or rather where it is and how to find it

[boreal sage]

uhh everything that might help me understand the given scenario

[slate swan]

well then this is called self bot, it makes automated actions but on user accounts it is banned on discord to do that

most likely your friend got hacked (clicked something and allowed access to discord on his own)

[boreal sage]

hmm

alright dude thank you so much for the help

Why am I getting this error? It's all up to date

[slate swan]

you need to await the method its telling you to

[slate swan]

Run python -m pip show discord.py

[slate swan]

make sure you installed latest version on python 3.10

[abstract fox]

Hey! May someone explain as to how I can send a message to a specfic channel using / commands with discord.py

[slate swan]

get/fetch channel using bot.get_channel(id) / await bot.fetch_channel(id) and then use .send() method on it

[abstract fox]

Okay!

[abstract fox]

how exactly do i send it?

[slate swan]

the get/fetch method returns a channel object on which you can use .send method

[abstract fox]

sorry, i think i am more confusing then i thought. what is this line of code exactly to send it, since I assume its await interaction.smth.send() but what do i put so i goes to the specfic channel

[slate swan]

interaction.send is used to reply to an interaction, not to send a message to a specific channel

[abstract fox]

how do i send a message to a specfic channel, i have the ID but how do i send it to a channel

[slate swan]

Do you eventually have pycord or something else like that installed, consider removing them

[slate swan]

didnt i already tell you

They use the same import name as discord.py and may interfere

[abstract fox]

no, you told me how to get the channel ID, I'm confused on exactly how I need to send it to said channel ID

[azure rain]

Some strange, that I don’t call IntegrationBotBase in this function
And code of lib

https://gl.beaconborn.ru/bacon/discord_bot/-/blob/test/lib/CogsPrep.py?ref_type=heads#L16

In the working bot I don’t see this warn

[naive briar]

Sure

[slate swan]

either you talked with someone else or idk cause i never told you how to get channel id

but i said this #discord-bots message

[slate swan]

why is cog_list async?

[azure rain]

First try to base understand how it works, but forget change back

[azure rain]

Interesting, this warn was from another test (test_work_with_cogs)
But why shows in test_cog_list
Noticed just now

[simple copper]

!Unindent does not match any outer indentation level

[frosty roost]

I want to add pagination to this embed I made (its a shop) does anyone have a good video on that? I couldn't find a good one to implement into my code

[shrewd apex]

!pypi reactionmenu

[unkempt canyon]

reactionmenu v3.1.5

A library to create a discord.py 2.0+ paginator. Supports pagination with buttons, reactions, and category selection using selects.

Released on <t:1701269523:D>.

[shrewd apex]

its good for beginners ig

[hushed galleon]

if you want to DIY it, i would suggest creating a view that takes a list of items you want to format, then keep track of the current page number which the user can change via buttons, and use the page number to determine which items you'll present to the user

[ivory falcon]

async def ping(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Pong {interaction.user.mention}")```
 
the slash command i have created does not show up,  what can i do about it is there a solution for this?

[hushed galleon]

have you synced your commands to discord?

if so, restarting your discord client should fix it

[ivory falcon]

how to do that may i ask 😭

[hushed galleon]

!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]

the simplest you can do is add a setup hook to sync your commands when the bot first starts: py @bot.event async def setup_hook(): await bot.tree.sync() but if you want more control over it (particularly if you're hot-reloading new slash commands with the cogs/extensions system), you could also write a prefix command to do it instead

[ivory falcon]

im sorry but i did not understand what am i supposed to do with that code

[hushed galleon]

do you know how to define event handlers? they look similar to @bot.tree.command(), just that they are called based on what you named the function, for example on_ready gets run when discord finishes sending all the guild information to your bot:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/examples/basic_bot.py#L19-L22

[unkempt canyon]

examples/basic_bot.py lines 19 to 22

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user} (ID: {bot.user.id})')
    print('------')```

[hushed galleon]

(technically setup_hook isn't a normal event, but in this case the syntax works the same)

[ivory falcon]

you mean @bot.event by event handler right

[hushed galleon]

yes

[abstract fox]

how do i send a message to a specific channel btw? if anyone knows?

[ivory falcon]

    await channel.send(f"message")```

[abstract fox]

okay t

ty

[ivory falcon]

nps 🙂

[abstract fox]

is channel = channel id

since the bot's for a specific server so

[ivory falcon]

put the channel id that you want the bot send message to there

[ivory falcon]

async def setup_hook():
    await bot.tree.sync()```

so should i do this

[abstract fox]

yep okay ty

[abstract fox]

it doesn't seem to be working

or maybe im dumb and have done it wrong, hold up

[ivory falcon]

do you get an error

or is it just not working

[abstract fox]

lemme test rq

[left mantle]

i want to make a discord bot that pulls data from a google sheet and imports the requested data into an embed, for example i do the command /gpu amd radeon rx 6800 and it comes back with an embed stating all the data on that specific gpu, any ideas?

[slate swan]

.

[shrewd apex]

better to use a proper db like postgresql or sqlite if its a small amount of data using gsheets as a db source goes againt google policy iirc

[left mantle]

it's not small

it's a massive data set, it has every gpu made in it with all of their information

[shrewd apex]

and how many gpus is that?

[left mantle]

i'm guessing google still wouldn't like that

[left mantle]

thousands

[shrewd apex]

sqlite can easily handle hundreds of thousands

thousands is nothing in coding world terms

sizeable dbs contains millions to billions of records

[left mantle]

ah okay

how would i put a csv file into sqlite?

i downloaded the csv file off of a reddit thread and scanned it on virus total

it seems to be safe

[shrewd apex]

u could write a script to insert the data into ur db i suppose or there could already be some method for that lemme check

yeah u can just write a bunch of insert queries and execute them here u go https://vikborges.com/articles/simple-way-to-update-a-sqlite-database-table-from-a-csv-file-using-pandas/

[left mantle]

thanks

[abstract fox]

Hey! How would I find the user of the command then reference i later?

[slate swan]

!embeds

!embed

What huh

[flat solstice]

I think it's ctx.author, e.g.

async def foo(ctx)
    await ctx.respond(f"{ctx.author.name} used the `foo` command)

[abstract fox]

In a / command?

Since I don't use the ctx part with / commands anymore.

[flat solstice]

I think you have to have some kind of ctx, maybe it's interaction in this case but whatever your first arg is will be your ctx

[abstract fox]

poss interaction

[flat solstice]

What does the command definition look like?

[abstract fox]

idk what you mean now

[flat solstice]

Like the async def, what does yours say?

[abstract fox]

interaction

[flat solstice]

Okay checked the docs, its interaction.user.name.

[abstract fox]

ty

[shrewd apex]

u want the id generally

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[shrewd apex]

just take whichever attribute u need from here

[flat solstice]

Does the docs command support pycords docs?

[slate swan]

Doubt as it uses the same import as discord.py

[proper egret]

!ddiscord.on_guild_join

Honestly, anything was fine for that as it was simply for logging lol.

[grand bobcat]

what is the best way to let user to add/remove a logging chanel, do i use a list for that or is there a better way

[shrewd apex]

a table or relation sounds nice u could have a database for that

[grand bobcat]

thanks

[abstract fox]

how do i check is a user has x role

[golden portal]

has_role = member.get_role(role_id) is not None

[abstract fox]

could you give more info? I'm still just as confused

[golden portal]

!d discord.Member.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID from roles which the member has.

New in version 2.0.

[golden portal]

im not sure what is it that you're confused lol

[abstract fox]

how do i check if the user of the command has it?

[golden portal]

prefix command or slash command?

[abstract fox]

slash

[golden portal]

is it to only allow certain role to use the slash command?

[abstract fox]

yh

[golden portal]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.has\_role

@discord.app_commands.checks.has_role(item, /)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check) that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

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

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

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.MissingRole) if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.NoPrivateMessage) if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CheckFailure).

New in version 2.0...

[golden portal]

just do ```py
@app_commands.command()

[vale wing]

I will definitely give you credit for a feature I implemented in my both verified bots thanks for idea

[glad cradle]

that's like saying to NASA: hey go on Mars but give me credit because the idea was mine

[granite rapids]

mfw ideas can’t be “pay for use”

nor be restricted/controlled

anyways I had that idea before so plz credit me thanks

[rugged shadow]

i will be implementing this idea, however note that i will NOT be crediting you

they call me the law unabiding citizen

[split vessel]

that's called a compiler buddy and there are already tons of bots that implement this in a variety of languages since ages

[blazing lance]

Anyone know why a discord bot would go offline randomly after a little while? And this happens regardless of being it being local hosted or on a VPS.

[pale zenith]

Not without an error

1. how long is "a little while"?
2. do you have logging enabled?

[dense topaz]

When I use a ctx.reply(msg, mention_author=False) in a hybrid command, in the prefixed one the command doesn't mention the author
But in the app command, the author is mentioned (what don't happen when I use ctx.send/interaction
response.send_message)

Is there a way to make neither one to mention the author?

[pale zenith]

There's no such thing as "reply" in a slash command invocation. The concept of mention_author doesn't really apply to them

or you mean to want to remove this portion of the command? https://it-looks-like-you.have-no-bra.in/C82BRA.png

[blazing lance]

well after idk 10-20mins it will go offline, I have a thing that makes it send a Im alive message in a channel just in case it doesn't like idling and it still sends even after the bot goes offline.

just then commands don;t work

I've got something I can try Ill see if it changes anything

[pale zenith]

where are you hosting your bot?
what is your bot's full code?

[untold bear]

    class MyButton(discord.ui.Button):
        def __init__(self):
            super().__init__(style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, label="Hi")

        async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            await interaction.response.send_message("Hi!", ephemeral=True)

    @commands.command()
    async def button(self, ctx):
        view = discord.ui.View()
        view.add_item(MyButton())
        await ctx.send("Click!", view=view)```
Im trying to make a button however it isnt working, pycharm is showing that the class MyButton doesnt exist and response doesnt have "send_message" when im calling it in the command. When I run the command on discord there are no errors

but it doesnt work either

[naive briar]

Are you defining the button class in a cog class? If so, you aren't supposed to do that

(also, consider subclassing discord.ui.View instead; it'd make your life easier)

[untold bear]

Ohhh thanks

It's working perfectly fine now 👍

Floating point arithmetic

You may have noticed that when doing arithmetic with floats in Python you sometimes get strange results, like this:

>>> 0.1 + 0.2
0.30000000000000004

Why this happens
Internally your computer stores floats as binary fractions. Many decimal values cannot be stored as exact binary fractions, which means an approximation has to be used.

How you can avoid this
You can use math.isclose to check if two floats are close, or to get an exact decimal representation, you can use the decimal or fractions module. Here are some examples:

>>> math.isclose(0.1 + 0.2, 0.3)
True
>>> decimal.Decimal('0.1') + decimal.Decimal('0.2')
Decimal('0.3')

Note that with decimal.Decimal we enter the number we want as a string so we don't pass on the imprecision from the float.

For more details on why this happens check out this page in the python docs or this Computerphile video.

PATH on Windows

If you have installed Python but forgot to check the Add Python to PATH option during the installation, you may still be able to access your installation with ease.

If you did not uncheck the option to install the py launcher, then you'll instead have a py command which can be used in the same way. If you want to be able to access your Python installation via the python command, then your best option is to re-install Python (remembering to tick the Add Python to PATH checkbox).

You can pass any options to the Python interpreter, e.g. to install the numpy module from PyPI you can run py -3 -m pip install numpy or python -m pip install numpy.

You can also access different versions of Python using the version flag of the py command, like so:

C:\Users\Username> py -3.7
... Python 3.7 starts ...
C:\Users\Username> py -3.6
... Python 3.6 starts ...
C:\Users\Username> py -2
... Python 2 (any version installed) starts ...

@sour saddle I think you confused this with #bot-commands 😅

this channel is for asking for help creating discord bots

[dense topaz]

noo, like
yk when you're replying to someone and can choose if your message gonna mention them (that yellow reply message) or not? I just want it to be normal reply in both prefixed and app command, but using the reply in prefixed

[pale zenith]

But replies aren't a thing in slash commands though

there's no "message" that you can "reply" to

the message is the invocation of the slash command. it is all contained into a single message. One cannot just reply to the message one is sending

like this doesn't conceptually make sense

[dense topaz]

I think I just confused myself 😭😭😭

sorry

[sour saddle]

Oo sorry 😨

[umbral carbon]

what object has the attribute guild

this command is in a Cog

i tried so much stuff but it just doesnt work

[dense topaz]

ctx.guild.role?

[umbral carbon]

istg i tried that but it didnt work before

it worked now

[dense topaz]

ooh

[umbral carbon]

i love you though

thxx

[dense topaz]

🫶

[umbral carbon]

it didny work

modcomms is the class in the cog

there was another issue which ignored the user

wait nvm

[umbral carbon]

im sorry it was a different issue here

[vast fiber]

hi

[frosty roost]

I have got this so far

But when I run it, it says this

Which I don't understand

[shrewd apex]

u forgot to close the bracket

.add_page(embed=discord.Embed()
^~~~~ missing bracket

[frosty roost]

Ohhh

Ohmygod how did I forget, thank you

I forgot to include the class, beacuse now I am having issues with that

Im following a guide that someonse send cuz all videos really confused me and it said to type it like that so I do not know

[shrewd apex]

u dont need to like that?

[frosty roost]

Wdym?

If I do it without the class I get this

[shrewd apex]

check ur brackets lol

i really wouldnt recommed discord bots to a beginner u dont seem to have much experience with python i would suggest getting familiar with some basics of python before attemting bots

[frosty roost]

I have setup like the whole bot already

Made multiple embeds

Excactly like that

And they work, so i thought Id apply the same logic

[shrewd apex]

same issue here as well

u should post code as text really makes it harder if u post as images

!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.

[frosty roost]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/QQYA

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/PA7A

The 2nd one is from an embed that works

But its without pagination

[shrewd apex]

 menu.add_page(embed = discord.Embed(
-    title='Commands'),
        description='Here are all my commands\n \u2063',
        color=discord.Colour.pink(),
    )

 menu.add_page(embed = discord.Embed(
+    title='Commands',
        description='Here are all my commands\n \u2063',
        color=discord.Colour.pink(),
+    ))

[frosty roost]

Alr It did work but is now creating all other issues, thank you for your help though ill figure it out I don wanna be more emberassed in this server lol

[abstract fox]

Okay can someone explain how to use aiosqlite cus i was told it was a good way to store warnings but it's confusing me now

[vapid parcel]

Okay so I have a question, how can I reload only a single cog? I can reload all at once, but I wanna do Unload n load n reload for only 1 cog at a time too. But I use a __init__.py to do all my cogs basically.

So I am just wondering how I can reload a certain cog, I am pretty sure @hushed galleon helped me last time, so maybe they can help again, or someone else can help.

In my setup hook I do await self.load_extension('commands') so it loads all cogs from __init__.py.

If you need access to my source, please let me know and I will just invite you to a github repo.

Question, now this might be more related to sql than python but;
I'm trying to make something along the lines of "messages leaderboard" across multiple servers and I'm planning on using SQL for that. Should i store the counter as (guild_id, user_id, message_count) and i would basically fetch results with guild_id(+ user_id if one result) or should i consider other methods for this?

(guild_id, user_id, message_count) are the columns here

[lament siren]

maybe go to #❓｜how-to-get-help ?

[fair hinge]

well it would just be a simple answer along the lines of "yes" or "no, consider somethingelsewhichtheywouldnameorexplainidfk" and also this

so i dont see why i shouldnt ask it here

[lament siren]

well
right idk database but i think there is many people know it better

[mild lava]

are there alternatives youre thinking of?

[fair hinge]

tables per guild, but thats sound a lot more stupid in my head and since im using sqlite it would an entire different file because bald

[mild lava]

You want to store message count per user right?

[fair hinge]

i want to store how many messages theyve sent in a guild yes

[mild lava]

ah per guild as well

[fair hinge]

hence the guild_id

[mild lava]

i dont see a reason why the first idea is bad

so i would just go ahead with it

[fair hinge]

alright thank you very much

[mild lava]

the question here is how are you going to retrieve the data

do you know both the guild and user id beforehand or is one sometimes unavailable?

[slate swan]

[fair hinge]

guild id would be provided by ctx.guild and user id is either author or user provided

something like SELECT * from MessagesLeaderboard WHERE guild = ? AND user = ? should provide the user data and removing user = ? would give all data for that guild

[mild lava]

what if the command is invoked in a dm channel?

[fair hinge]

@commands.guild_only or something?

that would work

Is this a framework issue, discord issue or an issue with my server?

Using discord.py

[tight obsidian]

Probably some network issue

Networks are not reliable 100% of time, so it's okay if a connection drops from time to time

[fallow python]

I am self-hosting it on a local computer, so the issue is most likely my internet might have crashed for a bit there?

[stark flower]

Hello is there any one

[tight obsidian]

It could be an issue with your internet, with discord's networking, or maybe Discord was just restarting a server before it finished sending you all the data

if it doesn't persist I'd just ignore it

[fallow python]

Ah okay. Because the WSCloseCode does seem to indicate that I didn't receive data from Discord, so it would be a discord issue more than a me issue. But that's something at least.

[errant niche]

went from this...

to this

it randomly absorbs messages in chat into a text file and randomly spits out a message that it learned

you could probably hack it with some clever escape character nonsense but i mostly trust my friends

[vapid parcel]

I don't think thats true. If its having quotes around it, then you should mainly be fine... I could be wrong tho.

[mild lava]

i dont see why that would be an issue unless youre executing the text file. What I’d be more worried about is someone using characters you dont expect that cause your bot to crash

[misty widget]

discord _compnents no moduel foud error

how do i fix this

i am using replit

[upbeat otter]

This is an outdated library don't use it anyways

[vale wing]

How would you "hack" it if it doesn't accept any input

At least from your description

I forgot it actually saves messages

Wouldn't personally write them to text file, db would still be better imho

Because how would you separate messages in text files? Only via some text. Messages can contain whatever text so yeah they can break the file

guys, why my database is not working like intended? Like, my bot is not responding and i don't get any traceback

i'm using SQLite here

[naive briar]

What's wrong with it? Please be more specific

[severe sonnet]

i have no idea, when i try to execute a command that involves database my bot don't respond

and i get no traceback

before putting my bot to work with SQLite

the commands was working

but now, the new database is not working properly, like, it's like the database querry is not executing and i get no traceback to know the error

and you can see i get no traceback

[naive briar]

Can you show the command's code?

make sure u have an error handler for ur tree its pretty useful for debugging and handling errors especially unknown ones

now if this were intended to be a PUBLIC bot i would definitely want to trim off the newlines, but i wouldn't dare
someone would teach it slurs, and i don't want to have to deal with making a filter for that

[vale wing]

Problem with fetching members I assume

[misty cloak]

aeyo anyone, any recommendation of a good discord.py CC on yt or a website?

Idk what you mean CC but this is a good discord.py guide

[drowsy sand]

Hello guys,
I somehow cannot install LibreTranslate.

I am following tutorial from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ8lNcn4cjE&list=PLx9e6Ldz3n4m5dpRyQnZnTC86ubnib87h&index=2.

I try to use

cd LibreTranslate
pip install -e .```

Clonned properly.
But then displays some Torch dependency missing.

When trying next step from the tutorial:
```python install_models.py```
There is no such file..

Please tell me what am I doing wrong.

[golden portal]

unrelated to discord bots, try asking in #1035199133436354600

[drowsy sand]

I did- #1219758756074881147 - closed and i don't know why

And I'm trying to make a Discord bot using this even gave a link to tutorial I follow so how is it not related to discord bots? xD

[slate swan]

The problem itself is not a discord bot problem

[fallow python]

Is there a way to validate modal input before submitting it in discord.py?

Let's say I have a text input field that should only accept numbers. Far as I know, Discord does not have this type of input, so I was thinking "Well what if I just validated the input before submitting?" but I'm not sure if that's possible either.

[naive briar]

No

[fallow python]

Damn.

Is there a way to send a modal as a response to a modal submit?

[naive briar]

Use the interaction you get from the on_submit

[fallow python]

That's what I thought, but then I tried like this

await interaction.response.send_modal(ErrorModal(error=error_msg, modal=self))

And I got an error message back from discord saying:

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In type: Value must be one of {4, 5, 6, 7, 10}.

[naive briar]

What's wrong with it?

Can you show ErrorModal's code?

[fallow python]

class ErrorModal(discord.ui.Modal, title='Error'):
    error_msg = ''
    modal = None
    def __init__(self, error, modal):
        self.error_msg = error
        self.modal = modal
        super().__init__()
    
    message = discord.ui.TextInput(
        label='Error Message',
        default=error_msg,
        style=discord.TextStyle.long
    )

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_modal(self.modal)

    async def on_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error: Exception) -> None:
        await interaction.response.send_message('Oops! Something went wrong with an Error Modal.', ephemeral=True)
        traceback.print_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__)

[naive briar]

I have no idea 🫠

[fallow python]

sadness

[hushed galleon]

modals cant chain other modals so you'll have to send an intermediary button or something to show the next modal
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#interaction-response-object-interaction-callback-type

[fallow python]

Yeah I see that's impossible

A shame

[fallow python]

How does one use SelectOption from discord.py?
This is what I tried, but that's not valid discord.ui.select.components.SelectOption(

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.SelectOption is how you want to access it

[unkempt canyon]

discord.SelectOption

class discord.SelectOption(*, label, value=..., description=None, emoji=None, default=False)```
Represents a select menu’s option.

These can be created by users.

New in version 2.0.

[fallow python]

Oh. I see.

[hushed galleon]

create a few of those in a list, then pass them to the discord.ui.Select(options=) parameter

[fallow python]

Hmm, I tried that now. It gives me an error about an invalid form.

group_mode = discord.ui.Select(
    min_values=1,
    max_values=1,
    options=[
        discord.SelectOption(
            label='test',
            value='',
            description='',
            default=True
        ),
        discord.SelectOption(
            label='test2',
            value='',
            description='',
            default=False
        )
    ],
    disabled=False
)

HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In data.components.4.components.0: Value of field "type" must be one of (4,).

[hushed galleon]

oh, is this for a modal? they only let you use text inputs for it, sadly

[fallow python]

Aww

Yeah it was a for a modal

ive been trying to setup slash commands and was wondering if anyone knew the workaround to having "spaces" in the command name?
tried using unicode invis character but that doesn't work

We know each other, he's just joking around ☺️

[supple jacinth]

Hello! I'm learning to make a discord bot again. I used to make them all the time back in 2020. But stopped for some reason. Anyways, I was wondering what is the best way to organise all my code and commands. Guilty of asking ChatGPT about it but it said cogs and groups? Yet i'm not sure if there is a more up-to date method. If there is any best solution, please tell me haha

hello, i have regex that checks for emojis but due raw messages having unicode instead of the emoji in text form, it doesnt match so how do I match if there is any emojis?

hi can some1 help
im getting this

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandOnCooldown: You are on cooldown. Try again in 0.04s```
but i'm literally excepting it
```py
            except CommandOnCooldown as e:
                await context.send(f"You're on cooldown! Try again in {e.retry_after:.2f} seconds")```

here's the code:

    @cooldown(1, 3, BucketType.user)
    async def cat(self, context: Context) -> None:

            try:
                async with session.get("https://some-random-api.com/animal/cat") as resp:
                    if resp.status == 200:
                        data = await resp.json()
                        image_url = data.get("image")
                        if image_url:
                            time.sleep(1)
                            fact = data.get("fact", "No fact available")

[shrewd apex]

nope closest u can get is creating subcommands for a group command

[shrewd apex]

yeah cogs and groups are probably the best ways altho methods of declaring and usage has changed over time or past year or so hence chatgpt is not updated syntactically ig

[shrewd apex]

cooldown error gets triggered before u enter the function or command body

[lyric solar]

what

how do i fix this

oh wait you mean switch try and async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:?

[shrewd apex]

u need to define some sort of command specific error handler and reset the command cooldown and invoke the command

[lyric solar]

switch these i mean

[shrewd apex]

no

[lyric solar]

what

im using discord.ext's cooldown

[shrewd apex]

ur command is never called in case of cooldown error

its never executing the function

[lyric solar]

stop talking fancy i just want a fix 😭

[shrewd apex]

i did tell u

[slate swan]

[lyric solar]

i told u to not talk fancy 😔

[shrewd apex]

@cat.error
async def cat_error(ctx, error): # might wanna recheck the function params thats passed i am not sure
    if isinstance(error, cooldown):
        reset cooldown here
        and reinvoke the command
        return
    raise error

[shrewd apex]

i meant what i said its nothing fancy just discord.py jargon

[lyric solar]

uhh give me a second

[slate swan]

and make sure to reraise the error if not handled in if ❗

[shrewd apex]

discord.py performs checks like cooldown before executing the command if the checks fail the command is not executed and an error is raised

[shrewd apex]

that too btw

!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.

            await ctx.command.reinvoke(ctx)```

like this?

[vale wing]

Who cares let's just ignore it and wonder why command doesn't work (I divided by 0 somewhere) 😈

[slate swan]

[vale wing]

Indents damn them

[lyric solar]

vsc doesn't give me an error 🤨

[shrewd apex]

self, ctx, error

[vale wing]

Use guard clauses 😭

[lyric solar]

shi i forgotr

great this means i have an indent error somewhere

[vale wing]

No

[shrewd apex]

dont think reinvoke is a thing either

[vale wing]

No indents syntax error there's just too many of them and it's bad

[shrewd apex]

just call it

[vale wing]

Nasty nesting

[lyric solar]

well my base is bad, so i have to cope w/ it

[vale wing]

You sure that command is in cog

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

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

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command) holds internally.

Note

This does not handle converters, checks, cooldowns, pre-invoke, or after-invoke hooks in any matter. It calls the internal callback directly as-if it was a regular function.

You must take care in passing the proper arguments when using this function...

[shrewd apex]

or just call it manually

[supple jacinth]

Ahh alright, thank you

[shrewd apex]

like await cat(ctx)

[lyric solar]

yes

for some reason this fixed it:

commenting fixed it idk why + i'm not on cooldown after it expired

so i just had to make an error handler

[vale wing]

Me when the

[lyric solar]

does fuction main() raise Forbidden anywhere?

[lyric solar]

i don't know

maybe who knows

[shrewd apex]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lyric solar]

yes

[steel steppe]

bro

dont use globals

[lyric solar]

why not

tell me one reason why i shouldn't use it

i'm not returning everything

i'm used to globals

[steel steppe]

bro

just use chatgpt

and u get tons of reasons

[lyric solar]

no

[shrewd apex]

i agree that u shouldn't use globals but if you're suggesting someone something you should have some justification yorself too 😂

[shadow vigil]

don't tell anyone to use chatgpt

#code-of-conduct

[cloud dawn]

In large projects or in collaboration projects it's easy to overwrite a global making behaviour unpredictable and it could be confusing as to where the variable is coming from. Other than that it's perfectly fine.

[lyric solar]

yeah well i don’t have a large project or a collaboration project

• its a discord bot why shouldnt i use globals

[shrewd apex]

well for starters its still fine to manage under a single filed scope but makes it way harder in sharing across multiple files or places a better way would be to make it an attribute of the bot instance which grants u access to that in all sorts of places like cogs, interactions etc

[slate swan]

Your mean cogs?

[shrewd apex]

cogs views etc yeah

[lyric solar]

how do i make an optional option 💀

the interwebs doesnt help

like in a slash command

[cloud dawn]

In the function assign a default variable.

[lyric solar]

what

[leaden olive]

when creating an Checklist, the ID is none, i didnt find any problems in the code, is it normal that the collum is "NULL"?

[carmine crag]

Hi! I'm using discord.py and trying to setup a basic bot, however, when I try to modify the intents, the code stops running

When I include the lines modifying the intents I get an error, however when I delete them I don't

Although I obviously the bot won't be able to answer messages

[cursive spear]

intents = discord.Intents.all()

[cursive spear]

all the ones I've mentioned are free,
try replit , and then pylex, actually i just started using the pylex , idk if it has problems or not, but it hosts without going offline

[carmine crag]

Thanks

[cursive spear]

👋

[lyric solar]

what's the most efficient way to check if the person is the guild owner and if a person matches a certain user id in an array?
such as
allowed_users = [12345678910, 10987654321]

[slate swan]

you want to restrict some commands to for example only guild owner / person whos id is in list?

or you just want to check inside a command logic

[cursive spear]

for example
allowed_user = [762476539664400444]
@bot.commands()
async def allowedTest(ctx):
if allowed_user == True:
await ctx.send('you can use this command ')
else :
await ctx.send('you don't have permissions')

[lyric solar]

guild owner and a person whos id is in the list inside of a command (or all commands if possible to do it with few lines)

[lyric solar]

this wont work

it doesn't check the commands author id

i want to completely get rid of ctx and use interaction: discord.Interaction instead

[slate swan]

you can create a check

[lyric solar]

how?

[slate swan]

to restrict commands to only users you want

so others cant use them

[lyric solar]

should i make a function for it

[slate swan]

ill show you how but is that what you are looking for

[lyric solar]

and in a command i use it like
@bot.command()
async def hi(interaction: discord.Interaction)
if check_if_list():
pass # will be replaced
else:
pass

[slate swan]

no, answer my question

[lyric solar]

pretty much

[slate swan]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/#checks

[lyric solar]

i don't understand what ur trying to say 💀

[slate swan]

this is how to do it

you add a decorator above a command

in the example i sent it is @is_owner()

[lyric solar]

oh okay,
is_owner is for the bot owner or guild owner?

oh alr

[slate swan]

the is_owner is just a name

you define the logic

[cursive spear]

I just typed the code you can replace the ctx with interactions

[slate swan]

def is_owner():
    async def predicate(inter: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
        return inter.user.id == 1234567890
    return app_commands.check(predicate)

[slate swan]

the code you sent makes 0 sense

[lyric solar]

ill look forward to it, thanks!

[slate swan]

👍

[lyric solar]

can i also do it like this?

return inter.user.id == [1234567890, 0987654321]```

[slate swan]

if you want to check if user id is inside a list you use in operator

return id in [...]

[lyric solar]

return inter.user.id in [1234567890, 0987654321]?

[slate swan]

[lyric solar]

🙏

what does return app_commands.check(predicate) do

[slate swan]

it returns a check so when using decorator you dont have to do @app_commands.check(is_owner) you can just do @is_owner()

[lyric solar]

alright

so you're saying i can do it like this? or can i remove the ()

[slate swan]

you keep the ()

as in example

[lyric solar]

👍

and if the person doesnt match is_owner(), do i just make an else statement?

[cursive spear]

ownerID = [id]
@bot.command()
async ....... 
    if ctx.author.id in owenerID:
        await ctx.send/ intercation # your response
    else: 
        await [send you don't have perms]

@lyric solar

[lyric solar]

i don't want to use ctx at all, i'm gonna start using interaction: discord.Interaction

[slate swan]

no, if the person doesnt match the check it is "rejected" and command is not invoked

[cursive spear]

it's not a problem just replace it lol

[slate swan]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/checks/#checks more about checks here

better to read it

[lyric solar]

and if a person isn't whitelisted, how can i send a message that they're not whitelisted, by this?

def is_owner():
    async def predicate(inter: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
        return inter.user.id in [123, 321]
    return app_commands.check(predicate)```

[slate swan]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/checks/#handling-check-failures

analyse the code and the responses

ask if you dont get it

[cursive spear]

I think he just wanna copy paste

[lyric solar]

[slate swan]

copy pasting doesnt make him learn

[lyric solar]

i've never worked with decorators

[cursive spear]

there're many ways to make checks. you can even create a function by yourself, but you have to read/learn docs

[lyric solar]

def is_owner():
    async def predicate(inter: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
        if inter.user.id not in [321, 123]:
            await inter.response.send_message("No permission.")
            return False
        else:
            return True
    return app_commands.check(predicate)

did i do it right

[slate swan]

yeah thats fine, you can even optimise it a bit

[lyric solar]

how

[slate swan]

like this ```py
def is_owner():
async def predicate(inter: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
if inter.user.id not in [321, 123]:
await inter.response.send_message("No permission.")
return False

    return True
return app_commands.check(predicate)

but your version will obviously work too

[lyric solar]

so i can just strip away the else:

[slate swan]

since you are using return in an if, you can yes

[lyric solar]

👍 thanks

@slate swan this is gonna be annoying, can i make the decorator "try" to get an exception?

[slate swan]

so there are two ways

[lyric solar]

wait

i have an idea

[slate swan]

either you ignore ignore those errors in error handler (not prefered)
or you change the logic of sending the error message to error handler (prefered)

[slate swan]

nope that wont work

[lyric solar]

why wouldn't it

[slate swan]

cause check is not the place where error is thrown

[lyric solar]

okay

so how do i do the second one

[slate swan]

class CustomException(commands.CommandError): ...

async def check(ctx: commands.Context):
    if "1" in ctx.message.content:
        raise CustomException()
    if "2" in ctx.message.content:
        return False
    return True

@commands.check(check)
@bot.command()
async def foo(ctx: commands.Context):
    await ctx.send("Success!")

@foo.error
async def handler(ctx: commands.Context, error: commands.CommandError):
    if isinstance(error, CustomException):
        await ctx.send("CustomException was raised inside check!")
    elif isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
        await ctx.send("Check has failed!")
    else:
        await ctx.send(f"Got unexpected error: {error}")

check this example, we have command foo and error handler for it decorated with @foo.error

inside the handler we check if the error is CheckFailure

[lyric solar]

i don't want to make a error handler for every damn command 😭

[slate swan]

if it is we send error message

[slate swan]

you can create a global one

[lyric solar]

would be nice

[slate swan]

then

ok let me set up an example for you

[lyric solar]

thanks

[slate swan]

def is_owner():
    async def predicate(inter: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
        return inter.user.id == 1234567890
    return app_commands.check(predicate)

@bot.tree.command()
@is_owner()
async def foo(ctx: commands.Context):
    await ctx.send("Success!")

@bot.tree.error
async def on_error(interaction: discord.Interaction[discord.Client], error: app_commands.AppCommandError | Exception) -> None:
    if isinstance(error, app_commands.CheckFailure):
        try:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"An error occurred: {message}")
        except discord.InteractionResponded:
            await interaction.followup.send(f"An error occurred: {message}")
    else:
        raise error

[lyric solar]

that looks really complicated for absolutely no reason

[slate swan]

thankfully its a global one and has to be made once

[lyric solar]

should bot.tree.error be at the complete bottom

[slate swan]

doesnt have to be

you can get rid of the annotations also

[lyric solar]

where is message defined

[slate swan]

error message?

[lyric solar]

yes

[slate swan]

        try:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"An error occurred: {message}")
        except discord.InteractionResponded:
            await interaction.followup.send(f"An error occurred: {message}")
``` its sent here

[lyric solar]

\

[slate swan]

ah

yea my bad i copied it

[lyric solar]

💀

[slate swan]

replace the text that is being sent

to like Not in whitelist

[lyric solar]

oh okay

thanks this really helped me

[slate swan]

no problem

[lyric solar]

one more thing

[slate swan]

also i really recommend the guide i linked few times it covers most of the discord.py content, worth looking into

[lyric solar]

what do i do with this then

[slate swan]

you go back to the old version without sending a message

[lyric solar]

do i change it from "not in" to "in"

oh alright

so basically just returning True

[slate swan]

which is here i belive

[lyric solar]

i can do this tho right

def is_whitelisted():
    async def predicate(inter: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
        if inter.user.id in [1184953547066978414, 488172488208023562]:
            return True
    return app_commands.check(predicate)```

[slate swan]

well not really, it has to return True or False, when the if evaluates to False nothing will be returned

[slate swan]

just stick with this

[lyric solar]

👍

[autumn pewter]

i just started discord bots and watched a tutorials and this is not working when i run it

import discord 
from discord.ext import commands

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

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("I'm ready to wreak havoc!")
    print("-------------------------")

@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hello, I'm here to wreak havoc")

client.run('')

i blended out the token

[slate swan]

what is not working

the hello command?

[lyric solar]

intents=discord.Intents.default()
in ur client = commands.Bot(...)

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '!', intents=discord.Intents.default())

[slate swan]

yeah you are missing intents

[lyric solar]

should work

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[slate swan]

enable message_content for prefix commands

otherwise it wont work

[lyric solar]

what did i do wrong here 💀

[slate swan]

what python version are you using

[lyric solar]

3.9

[slate swan]

explains

[lyric solar]

uh oh

[slate swan]

just remove the annotations

[autumn pewter]

tysm

[lyric solar]

what are annotations 🥺

[slate swan]

in your case its this: : app_commands.AppCommandError | Exception

[lyric solar]

whar

removing | Exception fixed it

[slate swan]

send the code

the handler

[lyric solar]

async def on_error(interaction: discord.Interaction, error: app_commands.AppCommandError) -> None:

should i just upgrade my python version 💀

[slate swan]

async def on_error(interaction, error):

[autumn pewter]

the bot is now on and running but ! hello not working

[lyric solar]

my vps uses 3.11.2 i think it would be much appreciated

[lyric solar]

!hello is supposed to work not ! hello

[autumn pewter]

i know

[lyric solar]

does it give u an error

[autumn pewter]

just didnt wanna make python bot post smt

[slate swan]

or if you wish to keep the annotations and keep using 3.9 use old style annotations like this async def on_error(interaction: discord.Interaction, error: Union[app_commands.AppCommandError, Exception]) -> None: but this would require importing Union from typing blah blah pretty much dont needed

[slate swan]

!mcintent

[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.

[lyric solar]

ok so upgrade python version, got it

[slate swan]

nah you can just remove the annoations

[lyric solar]

No!

[slate swan]

then upgrade

[lyric solar]

done

yeah i dont think im upgrading python versions ever again

nvm.

[slate swan]

xd whats the warning about

[lyric solar]

wtf

[slate swan]

eh you just missing deps

[lyric solar]

i noticed

[slate swan]

how did you upgrade python

[lyric solar]

python.org
download
uninstall old

pip is working just had to restart terminal

[slate swan]

did you check the checkbox saying add python to path

oh ok

make sure pip is pointing to right python version

but if you only have one

[lyric solar]

it is

[slate swan]

then nvm

[lyric solar]

thanks for this, my permission check was really scuffed before and i sometimes forgot to add permission check to some insane commands, like sync and stuff

it was crazy, but now thank you for this

[slate swan]

[lyric solar]

one more thing
i made a new decorator called
@is_owner()
the people with is_whitelisted have access to is_owner()
how can i fix this 😭

do i have to change the error handler

[slate swan]

Show code cause i dont get it

[lyric solar]

infact anyone can run it

did this, anyone can run the command

[flat pier]

can you show the check and how you're calling it

[lyric solar]

no matter if decorator is applied or not

[slate swan]

Those checks are for slash commands

[lyric solar]

oh.

[slate swan]

You here have a prefix command

[lyric solar]

yeah to sync

how do i uhhh

apply the decorator for the prefix command

[slate swan]

To check for bot owner there is built in one

[lyric solar]

@commands.is_owner()

[slate swan]

Yea

[lyric solar]

right

[flat pier]

and other than that you need to also check for context or interactions depending on whatever commands you have

[lyric solar]

ok ty

@slate swan can u make an error handler for @commands.is_owner() 💀

or should i just do
else:
await ctx.send("No permission")

[slate swan]

You Can modify the one you currently have

[lyric solar]

how

[slate swan]

Add another if statement to it

[lyric solar]

what

to the error handler?

[slate swan]

if isinstance(error, commands.NotOwner):
# send message

[slate swan]

Ye

Wait no

I'm talking bs

Dont modify the error handler

It wont work

[lyric solar]

i should

uhh wait

[slate swan]

Cause its for slash commands

You need one for prefix ones

[lyric solar]

should i do @bot.error

or @bot.event

[slate swan]

add this py @bot.event async def on_command_error(ctx, error): if isinstance(error, commands.NotOwner): # send message else: raise error

[lyric solar]

ok

thanks

how can i completely trash out other prefix command errors

i only want the NotOwner error to care, i don't want others printing a traceback in the console

[slate swan]

To achieve that you would need to remove that raise error but i highly dont recommend doing that, instead handle other errors too

[lyric solar]

ok thanks

so
else:
pass

[slate swan]

By removing that you are muffling all errors so if something happens, you wont know

[slate swan]

Dont even need the else

[lyric solar]

i will know

[slate swan]

Why you dont want other errors

What are those

[lyric solar]

i don't want to get commandnotfound errors or don't want to wake up to 1000000 errors

wait shit u kinda right i need the errors

[slate swan]

Then ignore only those and not all

[lyric solar]

yeah ur right

[next garden]

Not really a discord bot question but how does discord rich presence work? Why do I have to keep my discord pc version on just to use it?

[pale zenith]

Your application (script) connects to your discord client (desktop app) (locally), and sets a presence

[next garden]

But why locally? And if let's say I have a binary of my DRP app and send it to someone and they run the thing as well, then will they get the same DRP?

[pale zenith]

They should I suppose

Unless discord has restrictions on that??? Idk never messed with rich presences much.

[next garden]

Wow hm, now I see Discord RPC has been deprecated for Discord GameSDK lol

source: https://discord.com/developers/docs/rich-presence/how-to

anyways thanks leo for your answer :)

[golden bane]

where do u run ur bot?

[keen sorrel]

Hello Guys I would like to inform you that I am currently working on the development of Discord Bot, I will develop this bot Insha-Allah very soon I need your feedback that How can I make discord bot viral. Plus I also have the expertise to build advance web scraping softwares in python through AI.

[pale zenith]

Cool but why ping me?

[pale zenith]

Oh I see. Yeah guess my knowledge was way outdated lmao
I've never had the reason to do rich presence so I only knew details from other people

[golden bane]

how do i put 2 token

def send_messages(messages):
token = ''
headers = {
'authorization': token,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

[pale zenith]

You don't

That's not how authorisation works.... You make two requests.

[golden bane]

it worked if only one token

but i want 2

[golden bane]

it is just a sample code

[pale zenith]

You make two requests, one with each token

[golden bane]

but i have
import requests

[golden bane]

oo

[pale zenith]

You can't use two tokens in one request, that's nonsensical

[golden bane]

i see

thanks bro

[lyric solar]

i bought a vps

[golden bane]

why bought vps

when u can run a free bot 24/7

[lyric solar]

because i didnt wanna overcomplicate things + i got other things to run aswell

[lyric solar]

can someone help me here?
did this

@bot.tree.command(name="yesban", description="Sets people on the yes word ban list.")
async def yesban(context: Context):
    if context.invoked_subcommand is None:
        await context.send("Please specify a subcommand. Subcommands: \n`add` - Adds a person to the yes word ban list \n`remove` - Removes a person from yes word ban list.")

@yesban.command(name="add", description="yes")
@app_commands.describe(user="The user that should be added")
async def yesban_add(context: Context, user: discord.User) -> None:```

im trying to do something like this

basically a subcommand

[pale zenith]

Since parent commands are not invokable, defining them this way doesn't make sense.
Also, app commands take Interaction objects, not Context.

group = app_commands.Group(name="import", description="...")

@group.command()
async def spotify(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("You just invoked a subcommand!")

subgroup = app_commands.Group(name='child-example', description='...', parent=group)

# @subgroup.command()
# ...

# etc, then:
bot.tree.add_command(group)

[lyric solar]

i got it but thanks ❤️

[ivory falcon]

does discord.py has command handling?

i dont want to keep using the same main file for every command

[golden portal]

2 types, prefix command handling: ext.commands, slash command handling: app_commands

[leaden olive]

how do you mention a command again?

[ivory falcon]

how to use the slash command handling i didnt understand a single thing on that

[golden portal]

So basically, create slash command

@bot.tree.command()
async def my_command(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hello from my command!")

Then register to discord

await bot.tree.sync() # global
# OR
guild_id = <your guild id>
await bot.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(guild_id)) # guild specific

More details for creating slash

More details for syncing

[ivory falcon]

that was not what i was asking i think i explanied it wrong

what i was trying to say was i dont want to use the same main file for the slash and normal commands

[naive briar]

</name:id>

[leaden olive]

ahh thanks!

[golden portal]

use a cog + extension https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f#file-05-extension_no_group-py

then just load the extension via await bot.load_extension('folder.filename'),
example cogs/admin.py => cogs.admin

[ivory falcon]

do i have to make it file per file or can ı just use it for the folder and make all the commands load

[golden portal]

extension are per file, but each extension can hold multiple commands by a single Cog

[ivory falcon]

is there a youtube tutorial for this

it would be much easier to understand

[lyric solar]

yes

there is
