hows your day been tho

[vapid parcel]

just woke up 😭

So chilling ig, hbu?

[viscid hornet]

been up. its 7pm for me 💀

🇬🇧

HIS MESSAGE GOT DELETED 😭

[vapid parcel]

[midnight oracle]

pto internet

[vapid parcel]

nah thats wild

[vapid parcel]

1pm for me

[midnight oracle]

it's my internet, give me a sec xD

[vapid parcel]

But nah

isn't that regular Sqlite?

[viscid hornet]

goofy skull? 😭

what the fuck is ctx.respond

[midnight oracle]

This is a GitHub Codespace and I want to use that ffmpeg.exe I uploaded to manipulate the music/url I get from the yt-dlp for the bot but I don't know how to execute the ffmpeg file with the configs I already defined in a var from inside of the codespace

[sick birch]

I looked through the source code, they both essentially just wrap sqlite3, by running it in a threadpool across a mpsc:
https://github.com/omnilib/aiosqlite/blob/main/aiosqlite/core.py#L102-L109

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite/core.py lines 102 to 109

while True:
    # Continues running until all queue items are processed,
    # even after connection is closed (so we can finalize all
    # futures)

    tx_item = self._tx.get()
    if tx_item is _STOP_RUNNING_SENTINEL:
        break```

[vapid parcel]

Who tf knows

[viscid hornet]

thats dope as shit what

[vapid parcel]

But he is using sqlite, a regular version of sqlite3, he should switch to asqlite or aiosqlite either works, but he should switch

[viscid hornet]

best advice i can give is theres probably a library to run executables

[midnight oracle]

subprocess?

[vapid parcel]

just do a path to it and run the executable

[viscid hornet]

hes using await's in his queries tho?

[vapid parcel]

I did await in regular sqlite

I think

[viscid hornet]

sqlite3 is blocking so you cant use await

might be losing it

[sick birch]

you can't await stuff that are not awaitable

[vapid parcel]

Bro I am so confused rn, so tired. Maybe I am tripping 😭

[viscid hornet]

you are defo tripping

[vapid parcel]

I haven't used sqlite in ages so I think im just tripping atp

What do I do if "interaction" does not have attribute select?

[slate swan]

what you want to achieve?

[sick birch]

what does it mean to select an interaction?

[dusk ermine]

I'm looking at and making a ticket system and it tells me that the interaction doesn't have a select attribute

[mighty terrace]

can i get the an emoji inside my code as a variable like a string or something ? as im trying it now it gets printed out like this

i need it as an id, string or something wich i can compare it with inside an if statement

[shrewd apex]

!pithink prefix the emoji with a \ to get its id if its a discord emoji if not u can just compare its unicode values

or as simple as emoji == '🙂'

[chrome ivy]

So, I'm trying to make a command only accessible by me to show all the servers that the bot is in. I've been trying to get it to work for a while, but it just doesn't want to work. Help is appreciated :)

My Code for this command:

@bot.command()
async def activeservers(ctx):
  if ctx.author.id == 770484893657333761:
    servers = bot.guilds(limit=None)
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Active Servers", description=f"There are currently **{len(servers)}** active! Here is a list of them:\n\n{servers}", colour=discord.Colour.random(seed=None))
    await ctx.reply(embed=embed)
  else:
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Error", description="You don't have permission to use this command!", colour=discord.Colour.red())
    await ctx.reply(embed=embed)

nvm, i got it to work :)

uhm

new problem, so im trying to add buttons to it that would allow me (and only me) to remove it from certain servers, along with it displaying the server ids (and in the buttom promt it would ask for the server id)

im using these, but im getting an error that its not a thing

from discord_components import Button
from discord_components import ActionRow
from discord_components import wait_for_button_click

[merry cliff]

have you tried discord.ui

[viscid hornet]

you’re the best person to tell for this bc i finally figured out how to make a “daily” command that rewards you with coins every day and even can even measure your streak, all with three columns:

• a user_id column
• a last_run column with the timestamp of when the user last ran that command
• a streak column to see how many times they’ve run the command

here’s how it works:

1. get the timestamp of last run
2. calculate the time difference from when it was last run to when you can’t run it before
3. if its negative, tell them they lost their streak and give a timestamp since they last run the command
4. if the date of last run and the date they are running the command is the same, they’ve already run it today
5. if the date of last turn and of the time running the command is different, its a new day and they can be rewarded with their coins

[chrome ivy]

no :)

[vapid parcel]

I have this

Thats easy to make, I have one in my bot lol

starts with 0, then continues from there lol

But thats cool, congrats on that!

[viscid hornet]

what did you do in terms of code?

[vapid parcel]

cuz im better

[vapid parcel]

Just projects and discord bots

learning game hacking

[viscid hornet]

☠️☠️

[vapid parcel]

😭

[viscid hornet]

no for the daily code

😭😭

[vapid parcel]

OHHHHH

im slow

So I kinda do what you do. This is my table.

user_id
is_registered
bank_balance
wallaet_balance
last_daily_claim
daily_streak

So inside of the last daily claim, I use timestamps, which if they have claimed within the last 24 hours, it will make your daily streak go up, but if not, then it will reset back to 0

But I use a lot of functions so I don't have to repeat the crap over n over in each command.

How to add error handling for appcommands/tree commands?

Im used to hybrid commands, so I don't really know tree error handling?

[pale zenith]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.error

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

This must match the signature of the [`on_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error) callback.

The error passed will be derived from [`AppCommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AppCommandError).

[vapid parcel]

Me no understand lol

How can I make this error handling support app commands? Or is that not possible?

How do check if a word is in a embed or not

[naive briar]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

x == y Checks if two embeds are equal.

New in version 2.0...

[naive briar]

A specific part or all of it?

[zenith yarrow]

A word

[naive briar]

Yes? But in what part of the embed?

[zenith yarrow]

Can I check in every part?

[naive briar]

Yes

Not gonna happen.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[viscid hornet]

damn it

[viscid hornet]

use this
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_member_join

[viscid hornet]

because it doesn't have a select attribute. interaction.select is not a real thing

[dusk ermine]

How do I fix?

[viscid hornet]

don't use it?

[dusk ermine]

Oh

[viscid hornet]

whats your code

this??

yk the code you've written?

the product of pressing letters on the keyboard??

Do I have to send you the entire ticket code?

[snow elbow]

hi

async def select_callback(interaction):
if interaction.select.custom_id == "ticket_select":

@viscid hornet

[viscid hornet]

will i what?

[snow elbow]

be parnters

patners

[viscid hornet]

1. you're missing self (most likely)
2. interaction.select isn't a thing
3. interaction.values isnt a thing

[viscid hornet]

be partners on what?

[snow elbow]

coding and helping @viscid hornet

[dusk ermine]

what do i set?

[snow elbow]

interaction.self

[viscid hornet]

wdym "what do i set"

[dusk ermine]

whatt do i put in che code

[viscid hornet]

you need self in the arguments. self refers to the select menu itself, so anything related to the select will come from self

[dusk ermine]

i dont know where to put it

[viscid hornet]

take a look at how this works ```py
class ExampleView(ui.View):
...
@ui.button(...)
async def hi(self, interaction: Interaction, button: Button):
# button refers to the button while self refers to the view

class ExampleButton(ui.Button):
def init(self):
super().init(...)

async def callback(self, interaction: Interaction):
    # self refers to the button now```

i'm guessing the select is a separate class

[dusk ermine]

async def select_callback(self, interaction):
if interaction.self.custom_id == "ticket_select":
value = interaction.self[0]
category_id = None
embed_desc = ""
ping_role = ""

this?

[dusk ermine]

@viscid hornet

[viscid hornet]

i marked the guy's response with an ❌ for a reason

interaction.self does not exist. i told you to just use self

[dusk ermine]

async def select_callback(self, interaction):
if self.custom_id == "ticket_select":
value = self.values[0]
category_id = None
embed_desc = ""
ping_role = ""

this?

[viscid hornet]

better, but it's self.values, not self

self refers to the entire select menu

custom id, options, view, etc

[dusk ermine]

New Error

select_callback() missing 1 required positional argument: 'interaction'

Should I put () interaction?

[viscid hornet]

where are you calling this?

also why are you calling a separate function?

[viscid hornet]

this is taken from an example written by the guy who made dpy ```py
class SelectMenu(ui.Select):
def init(self):
options = [
discord.SelectOption(label='Red', description='Your favourite colour is red', emoji='🟥'),
discord.SelectOption(label='Green', description='Your favourite colour is green', emoji='🟩'),
discord.SelectOption(label='Blue', description='Your favourite colour is blue', emoji='🟦'),
]
super().init(
placeholder = 'Choose your favourite colour...',
min_values = 1,
max_values = 1,
options = options
)

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Your favourite colour is {self.values[0]}')```

[dusk ermine]

Can I send you all the code and then you can fix it for me? to say it like that I don't know how to fix it

[sick birch]

That was written by me, actually 🗿

[viscid hornet]

no fucking way you wrote that

im honoured 😭

[viscid hornet]

just send all the select code

[sick birch]

Yeah, but the original file was moved so it doesn't show me as a contributor anymore lol. all good though

Anyway yeah, please send the whole view code

[dusk ermine]

yeah

[viscid hornet]

so send it?

[dusk ermine]

yes wait

dm?

[viscid hornet]

no here

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[dusk ermine]

ok

[viscid hornet]

your select callback requires arguments so you cant just define the select in the command, you have to use an external class

[dusk ermine]

And how?

[viscid hornet]

i just showed you lmao

[viscid hornet]

this is an example

[dusk ermine]

fix it, I don't understand anything anymore

[vapid parcel]

nah I fixed it, that error handling is for hybrid n prefix commands. Which is what my bot is mainly abt. So I changed it to where it is just a purge.error for my one app command.

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/IGHQ

[viscid hornet]

it's your code so it's probably a good idea that you fix it

[ivory falcon]

is it possible to delete slash commands for the bot? if it is, how? (discord.py)

[slate swan]

anyone familiar with discord buttons, can you check my thread

https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1225873948827451473

[hushed galleon]

yes, syncing the command tree removes any commands that havent been registered with it (for example if you deleted a @bot.tree.command() from your code then the next time you sync, that command would disappear)

[vapid parcel]

https://github.com/RejectModderss/Discord.py-Template/blob/main/commands/Owner/owner.py#L16

Here is a sync command ive made, or you can use Umbras sync command

[latent jay]

If there's an uncaught exception within a task is the entire task destroyed?

[slate swan]

anyone familiar with discord buttons, how do i check if a message has a button? ive tried everything and nothing works

[mighty terrace]

how can i make something like this into my bot profile too?

[viscid hornet]

class ExampleView(ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout = 30)
    
    @ui.button(label = "hello", style = BS.blurple)
    async def hello(self, interaction: Interaction, button: Button):
        await interaction.response.defer()

    @ui.select(options = [SelectOption(label = 'hi', value = 'hello', description = 'example') for _ in range(3)])
    async def select(self, interaction: Interaction, button: Button):
        await interaction.response.defer()

...

@bot.command()
async def view(ctx):
    view = ExampleView()
    await ctx.send([type(child) for child in view.children])

get it from there using isinstance

the instance you're comparing each child to is ui.Button btw

[steel pecan]

@client.event async def on_member_join(member): SysC = client.get_channel(SystemChannel) # when user joins, bot mentions user await SysC.send("Hi" + member.mention)

idk how to make member mentioned

when joined

[latent jay]

what's it doing now?

[viscid hornet]

you just mentioned them?

[steel pecan]

basiclly when player joins it mentions them, not a big deal

[viscid hornet]

so whats the issue

[steel pecan]

but also I accidentlly put "number" in SystemChannel ID

I fixed it tho

so dw

[viscid hornet]

also pro tip: use f strings because using x + y, say x is a str and y is a list, will raise errors

[steel pecan]

sounds cool

[latent jay]

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member: discord.Member) -> None:
    SysC = client.get_channel(SystemChannel)
    # when user joins, bot mentions user
    await SysC.send(f"Hi {member.mention}")

[steel pecan]

yea that

I was searching where did I found that

[viscid hornet]

||pro tip: dont spoonfeed, just to lyk||

[steel pecan]

also how do ya share code in that text format lol, I never did much share, but want to know

[viscid hornet]

raise functions very much like return, so probably

[viscid hornet]

@silver wolf Sorry for the ping. Did you created the discordLevelingSystem package?

[silver wolf]

yes i did

[shadow vigil]

is there a way to look into the guild permissions for a member?

I want to make sure the member has the server manager

(in discord.py)

[pale zenith]

!d discord.Member.guild_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild\_permissions

property guild_permissions```
Returns the member’s guild permissions.

This only takes into consideration the guild permissions and not most of the implied permissions or any of the channel permission overwrites. For 100% accurate permission calculation, please use [`abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for).

This does take into consideration guild ownership, the administrator implication, and whether the member is timed out.

Changed in version 2.0: Member timeouts are taken into consideration.

[young dagger]

Is there any way to display the rank as an image like that?

[shadow vigil]

try using Pillow

[young dagger]

I thought maybe the package already has something like that

[shadow vigil]

!pypi discordLevelingSystem looking into the code, nope sadly

[unkempt canyon]

discordLevelingSystem v1.2.1

A library to implement a leveling system into a discord bot. Contains features such as XP, level, ranks, and role awards.

Released on <t:1685718094:D>.

[latent jay]

Is there anyway to keep old interactions active after restarting bot?

[hushed galleon]

for handling discord.py views? yes, you can add persistent views to your bot to handle component interactions
https://gist.github.com/thegamecracks/0f9ab7ad3982e65ff4aa429acb39cc4e

for any interaction in general (slash commands, modals, etc.), its theoretically possible but not supported by dpy, or at least not via a public interface

[sick birch]

yes

[latent jay]

Like, the task is no longer being ran at all?

[sick birch]

yes

[latent jay]

ahh that makes sense

[drifting arrow]

Hey, so I am using AIOSQLITE with a discordbot. and primarily it will only be used with a websocket feed to constantly add and check data.
There may be the occasional command used to check data, but overall it's just the websocket.

Will I encounter issues?

Should I change database types?

[swift siren]

discord.https , how to use for beta app commands

[sick birch]

app commands are not beta anymore

[swift siren]

more of an explanation por favor

[sick birch]

they have been out for about 2 years at this point

[swift siren]

was talking about this , just didn’t know what to call it besides beta apps

[sick birch]

ah, you mean the new global app commands

i don't think discord.py has support for it just yet

[swift siren]

what a bummer, it looks fun to mess around with

[slate swan]

thats what i tried

[slate swan]

        for action_row in message.components:
            for component in action_row.children:
                if isinstance(component, discord.ui.Button):
                    print("This message has a button!")

it doesnt work though

[slate swan]

Doesnt work mean? You get an error?

[silver wolf]

no. adding an image like that was in development at one point, but the person that was working on it (the one who created a pull request) stopped working on it so it was nvr added. i had nvr originally planned on adding something like that because all the information u need numbers wise is already in the lib and i didn't wanna depend on any other lib other than discord.py.

plus there are a few image libs like what ur looking for already where u just have to put in the numbers and .read() a file for the background image

[viscid hornet]

cycle through the view's children

[slate swan]

no it doesnt print, even tho it has a button

[slate swan]

uhh im not sure what u mean

[slate swan]

if it doesnt print then it doesnt found a button

[viscid hornet]

for item in view.children:
    if isinstance(item, ui.Button):
        ... # button found```

[slate swan]

try putting print before isinstance to see what components it sees

[viscid hornet]

i showed it to you in that screenshot

[slate swan]

i tried printing message.components but it shows nothing

it shows nothing or it shows empty list

like it doesnt print anything

and where is this code located

on_message event

thats what u mean?

yea

can you show full code?

how about you put print(message.components) at top

[viscid hornet]

why not just message.view.children?

i dont think thats a thing hold on

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

    channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
    user = client.get_user(user_id)

    print(message.components)

like this?

[slate swan]

?

[viscid hornet]

yep

[slate swan]

ill try

[viscid hornet]

i thought there was a view attr to a message

[slate swan]

yea try

it printed a whole lot of text

!code send it here

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[slate swan]

[<ActionRow children=[<Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> custom_id='7fae2a8b77c42513ce7fe4f9fe27c997' url=None disabled=True label='FIRST' emoji=None>, <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> custom_id='b2cb3aeceec04c97f10cd230e348ad60' url=None disabled=True label='PREVIOUS' emoji=None>, <Button style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2> custom_id='2af12a0678a6a49986dc3d08912577f2' url=None disabled=True label='1/10' emoji=None>, <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success:

so it does have the action rows

most likely the if check does not pass

it does

then put that print under that if

you talking about this one?

if message.channel == channel and message.author == user:

yea

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

    channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
    user = client.get_user(user_id)

    if message.channel == channel and message.author == user:

        print('test')

then when you have that for loop

put print(1) inside

[slate swan]

        for action_row in message.components:
            print(1)
            for component in action_row.children:
                print(1)
                if isinstance(component, discord.ui.Button):
                    print(1)

i tried it like this and it doesnt print anything

not one 1

impossible

hahah i mean thats what happened

do you have any error handler in your code?

no

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

    channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
    user = client.get_user(user_id)

    if message.channel == channel and message.author == user:

        print('test')

        for action_row in message.components:
            print(1)
            for component in action_row.children:
                print(1)
                if isinstance(component, discord.ui.Button):
                    print(1)

this is the message, im just using carl-bot for testing

cause its help command has a button

can you try this code? ```py
@client.event
async def on_message(message):

channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
user = client.get_user(user_id)

if message.channel == channel and message.author == user:

    print('test')

    for action_row in message.components:
        raise

yes 1 sec

doesnt print anything

not even the test?

oh right it prints 'test'

mb

can you show full code?

whole file?

cause it seems something is blocking errors i think

sure

[naive briar]

I don't know what error could it be

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

        print('test')

        for action_row in message.components:
            raise

client.run(token)

[naive briar]

You didn't enable the message_content intent

[slate swan]

you dont have message content?

[naive briar]

So you cannot access the components

[slate swan]

oh, how do i do that

!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.

[slate swan]

so like this?

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

client = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix = prefix,
    intents = intents
    )

done should i try it again now

[slate swan]

then how did it print out them

[slate swan]

.

yeah i was wondering the same thing lol

[naive briar]

Probably the bot's own buttons? Idk

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

im still getting only test

[naive briar]

But why won't it do anything in the recent code if it can access them?

[slate swan]

with this

    if message.channel == channel and message.author == user:

        print('test')

        for action_row in message.components:
            raise

i mean come back to old code

with print 1

[naive briar]

[slate swan]

alr hold on

    if message.channel == channel and message.author == user:

        print('test')

        for action_row in message.components:
            print(1)
            for component in action_row.children:
                print(1)
                if isinstance(component, discord.ui.Button):
                    print(1)

with this still only prints test

im out of ideas

😂

guess its not happening, ty for helping all that time still

!d discord.Message.components

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.components

A list of components in the message. If Intents.message_content is not enabled this will always be an empty list unless the bot is mentioned or the message is a direct message.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

weird

my only guess could be that maybe something else than a for loop?

i dont see what is wrong with for loop

should be working

[naive briar]

Try printing out the components before the loop

There's nothing to lose anyway

[slate swan]

it printed []

[naive briar]

Did you get a message about the message_content in the console?

[slate swan]

no

[naive briar]

😕

[slate swan]

yeah thanks for the help anyway

[supple jacinth]

How can i make a slash command in a cog?

[spice junco]

slash commands are scum created by the discord elite to make using your bot infuriating, do not give in to their demands

[slate swan]

😂 ???

its his choice what he uses

[spice junco]

^ agent paid by discord, do not listen to their requests

[spice seal]

Guys can I know a free hosting service for a bot 24/7

[cloud dawn]

There are like free trails but there aren't free services I'd actually recommend even if a server is very small.

What have i done wrong?

[cloud dawn]

You're using a string function on a list.

[long quartz]

...

[cloud dawn]

Do you have the whole traceback?

[supple jacinth]

string function?

[unkempt canyon]

Certainly not.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[cloud dawn]

!d str.startswith

[unkempt canyon]

str.startswith

str.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])```
Return `True` if string starts with the *prefix*, otherwise return `False`. *prefix* can also be a tuple of prefixes to look for. With optional *start*, test string beginning at that position. With optional *end*, stop comparing string at that position.

[supple jacinth]

Wait so whats the fix?

Oh i think i might have an idea

so i guess i cant just put the for loop in the load and unload extension then?

[cloud dawn]

I don't see any startswith function in the code you provided hence I asked for the full traceback.

[supple jacinth]

i dont have a startswith function, i wil try get full trace back

[jade fern]

class invitebutton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, page: int, total_pages: int):

            await self.update_page(interaction)```

for some reason this discord.ui stuff is not working up for me. 
AttributeError: 'invitebutton' object has no attribute 'entries'

[supple jacinth]

https://pastebin.com/B4C26DGs the traceback

[jade fern]

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

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

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

Note

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

[cloud dawn]

Well I don't see entries defined here I'm assuming you want to pass a list of embeds there.

[jade fern]

yea im passing a list of embeds there

[cloud dawn]

How?

[jade fern]

i just did view=invitebutton(page, totalpages)

in the embed

[cloud dawn]

totalpages = list of embeds?

[jade fern]

no its a number

[cloud dawn]

So page is the embeds..?

[jade fern]

no. embeds is defined for 1 page only

await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed, file=file, view=invitebutton(page, total_pages))

should i pass all the embeds there?

page, total_pages, embeds

[cloud dawn]

Well entries is referring to a list of embeds like the code in the button emplies.

[jade fern]

ooo

[cloud dawn]

What does [extension for extension in self.bot.extensions.copy()] result in?

Since unload expects extension paths.

[cloud dawn]

The list of embeds is needed in the view otherwise the code wouldn't know what embed to show.

[supple jacinth]

a list of the current cogs

['cogs.util_cog', 'cogs.fun_cog', 'cogs.faa_cog']

[cloud dawn]

Is that what it returns?

[supple jacinth]

Yes that is what [extension for extension in self.bot.extensions.copy()] returns

[cloud dawn]

Well unload and load doesn't take lists, lol should've seen it sooner.

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload\_extension

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

Atomically reloads an extension.

This replaces the extension with the same extension, only refreshed. This is equivalent to a [`unload_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension) followed by a [`load_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension) except done in an atomic way. That is, if an operation fails mid-reload then the bot will roll-back to the prior working state.

[cloud dawn]

I also recommend using this.

Also be careful when syncing globally like that.

[supple jacinth]

Ah i see, i assume this doesnt take in lists also?

[supple jacinth]

How come?

[cloud dawn]

Nope, just for loop the list first.

[cloud dawn]

Because you can only sync that many times per day, also takes long to sync and this doesn't take into account if metadata is being updated or not.

[supple jacinth]

Ohh, so what do i do then?

[cloud dawn]

Preferably you'd want to sync to a development guild, when you're done building the features you then push it to production and sync them globally.

[supple jacinth]

Right I see, and how can I do that?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync when passing a guild it will sync to that guild instantly and not sync globally yet.

[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.

[supple jacinth]

Thank you for your help

Haven’t developed in a while so getting used to so many new things XD

[cloud dawn]

Np, gl!

[paper sluice]

@marsh furnace found u

@tfr_group.command(name='test')
    async def test(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hello", ephemeral=True)

What is wrong here? I'm getting no errors or anything but the command is not coming up when I do /

[naive briar]

Did you sync them?

[supple jacinth]

Yes I did

[naive briar]

Loaded the cog/extension?

[supple jacinth]

Yep

[naive briar]

[supple jacinth]

And yes I also reloaded my Discord

[viscid hornet]

i’m guessing this is in a cog

[supple jacinth]

Yes

[viscid hornet]

what happens when you type /

like what commands from your bot show up

[supple jacinth]

Previous ones I have made

[viscid hornet]

i’m pretty sure commands need a description too, but i might be wrong on that. add a description and see if it comes up

[supple jacinth]

Alright, lemme try that

[viscid hornet]

are there any commands that have been made with groups?

[viscid hornet]

[supple jacinth]

No, this is the first one

Im also trying to follow this tutorial but it isn't working :/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTBN19Nm0h0

[viscid hornet]

hmm i’ll take a look. give me a second to get inside, i just got home

[supple jacinth]

Ah okay, thank you

[viscid hornet]

it's also not a good idea to use youtube tutorials because most of them only teach 1 thing which means people who follow the tutorials only learn how to do that 1 thing very well

[supple jacinth]

yeah, ive tried watching a bunch of tutorials and they have so many different methods. I don't know which is the best or even which works ect :/

even following the api reference its confusing to me, like i dont understand what all this is

[drifting arrow]

Well

[viscid hornet]

ok i'll break down the docs for you:

• class: it's telling you what you're looking at is a class, not a variable or coroutine or whatever
• discord.app_commands.Command(): this is telling you what you would have to write if you only started your file with import discord (ie. how to get that thing from the discord folder)
• (*, ...): this means you need to call everything using kwargs (ie. name = ... and not just ...)
• (*, name, description ...): these are the arguments it takes (what to put into it)

[drifting arrow]

:D

he said it better than me

[viscid hornet]

i say unless your group does a function like /balance for example, define it like this: ```py
group = app_commands.Group(name = 'group', description = 'hello')

@group.command(name = 'hi', description = 'Tell someone hello')
...```

[supple jacinth]

Thank you for the break down, actually helps alot. And I will try this method.

[drifting arrow]

oh

you dont need to use ever argument either

The documentation even breaks it down explaining what every argument does

[viscid hornet]

i'll scribble up something for if the command does something like /balance

just to double check because i don't know off of the top of my head

[supple jacinth]

Im hoping to make a group which the base command is /tfr and the different options are
/tfr request <information inputs here>
/tfr accept <id>
/tfr deny <id>
/tfr list <id/all> <id here if id selected>

[drifting arrow]

🤔

Does grouping work like that?

I would've assumed you'd need to make a list using the choices thing

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but idk never used group

[supple jacinth]

Well i was able to accomplish it with normal commands but when i migrated to slash commands its a pain in the butt

[drifting arrow]

Normal commands are different tho lol

[supple jacinth]

Exactly

[WARNING ] discord.http: We are being rate limited.

[drifting arrow]

lol

[supple jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-stare-100-yard-stare-meme-gif-251436459491629941

[drifting arrow]

just close the app and wait a ew minutes.

a few minutes*

or ew minutes if you think it's icky

[hushed galleon]

ya, groups can contain commands or subgroups, and subgroups can only contain commands
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#subcommands-and-subcommand-groups

syncing is about 2/30s last i checked, shouldnt take too long

[supple jacinth]

yeah what is subgroups? Whats the difference between them and groups?

oh wait

you just explained pretty much

[viscid hornet]

oh if there's no /tfr command, just use app_commands.Group()

[drifting arrow]

Grouping commands seems useful

[supple jacinth]

isnt that what i have been doing?

[drifting arrow]

🤔 indeed. <headnods> Yep. when I can be bothered all my bots will be updated.

[viscid hornet]

tfr = app_commands.Group(name = 'tfr', description = 'hello')```

[drifting arrow]

UPDATE ALL THE BOTS!!

[viscid hornet]

yeah your code checks out to me

what was the initial issue?

[drifting arrow]

then from here we can do

tfr.command(name = 'Thingy', description='Thingy thingy mcthingy')

[harsh orbit]

is there a way to run a bot by another bot
like I have a discord bot that detect messages in a cretin channel if a discord bot token was sent in this channel the bot will detect it then run the token in a certin code

I saw someone doing this but IDK how

[viscid hornet]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[viscid hornet]

thats also not gonna work lmao

if you try and send a discord bot token, discord will automatically revoke it and reset the token

[drifting arrow]

Doesn't discord actively detect most places, like github, gitlab and even discord itself if a token is sent?

[harsh orbit]

what is the illegal thing with I said?

[supple jacinth]

Yep, happened to me

[drifting arrow]

I know it at least checks github

That message is not fun to see as a novice for the first time

[viscid hornet]

the whole of github?

[drifting arrow]

THE WHOLE OF GITHUB

[harsh orbit]

in modal

[viscid hornet]

had a fright when i accidentally pasted code with it in

[harsh orbit]

there is bots called "bot makers" doing this

[drifting arrow]

ya, that message when it first appears. you do be getting heart sinky moment

like "oh god. oh no. pleease. please. WHAT DID I DO?! is this the end? tell my mum i loved her."

[viscid hornet]

could take the tokens and use them for malicious purposes like nuking servers

[viscid hornet]

pro tip: dont send random bots your discord bot token

[supple jacinth]

:(

tfr = app_commands.Group(name='tfr', description='testing')

@tfr.command(name='test', description='test testing')
async def test(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      await interaction.response.send_message("Testing", ephemeral=True)

[drifting arrow]

This is why I nuke my own servers before they can nuke them.

[drifting arrow]

Reload discord. CTRL + R

[viscid hornet]

oh i know what it is

you just pressed /, type in the rest of the command 💀

[supple jacinth]

I have been actively doing that

[drifting arrow]

i got nothing.

[viscid hornet]

it's showing all commands because you only typed in / and nothing else

[drifting arrow]

HHMM. Did you try turning it off and on again?

[supple jacinth]

Funny enough, Yes.

[drifting arrow]

BRB lemme test myself

[viscid hornet]

real one frfr

[drifting arrow]

gotta see if I got a test bot setup..

[supple jacinth]

Is that an IT Crowd reference? heh

[drifting arrow]

hold up. music time.

[drifting arrow]

WOO

[viscid hornet]

works fine

@supple jacinth show the file with that code in

im guessing its a cog w like 5 commands or something

[supple jacinth]

It is absolutely terrible, I commented my old code since I want to turn the commands into the slash commands.. https://paste.pythondiscord.com/BC7A

[drifting arrow]

works for me!

from discord.ext.commands import Cog, Bot
import discord
from discord import app_commands
from discord import Interaction
from discord.app_commands import guild_only, command

class TestClass(Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot:Bot, config:dict):
        print("[Cog] TestClass has been initiated")
        self.botBot = bot
        self.config = config
    
    tfr = app_commands.Group(name='tfr', description='testing')

    @tfr.command(name='test', description='test testing')
    async def test(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      await interaction.response.send_message("Testing", ephemeral=True)
    
    @command(name="ping", description="Pong")
    @guild_only()
    async def ping(self, interaction:Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Pong!")

:D

[supple jacinth]

How-

[drifting arrow]

uhh

Lets do some basic troubleshooting. Starting at the most obvious. Is your test function used elsewhere?

is the command name test used elsewhere?

assuming the code is the same, is the cog loaded properly?

Try and make another command in said cog like i have to test this

[supple jacinth]

This is the file it is in https://paste.pythondiscord.com/BC7A

[drifting arrow]

is the indentation wrong on the paste? or is that actual indentation you have on your IDE?

[supple jacinth]

No, the indentation is wrong on the paste haha

[drifting arrow]

Try my code

oh actually. dont.

My code is different.

Try and remove all the useless stuff you dont need atm just to test the code. So remove all the imports that arent being used (You can bring them back dw)

and change the tfr command group to something else, something you know you havent used at all.

So instead of tfr = app_commands.Group(name='tfr', description='testing')
it's: test_group = app_commands.Group(name='testgroup', description='Testing')

this way you know for sure you havent re-used the name elsewhere

If it works with new placeholder names, then you know it's just a naming issue and you can figure out where you went wrong, I suspect it's a naming issue.

And lastly, put the test command I have in, the ping command.

This is just to make sure the cog itself has been loaded and is running.

This is just how I debug shit when it doesn't work. Just change all the shit. remove all the shit. force the program to focus my shit.

When all else fails. Cry in a corner.

[supple jacinth]

Alright, just give me uno second

[drifting arrow]

Then realize mid sob you actually made a really basic mistake, come up with a story about how it wasnt your fault and actually you're super awesome and smart for figuring it out.

[supple jacinth]

Great start...

[supple jacinth]

lmao

[drifting arrow]

you're using a command to reload?

:|

[supple jacinth]

but no errors lmfao

[drifting arrow]

you're not syncing the command tree up. that's the issue lol

[supple jacinth]

I restarted the bot, then ran the command just to be sure

[drifting arrow]

If you are using a command to reload the cog instead of the entire bot, you're not syncing the command tree up properly.

[supple jacinth]

thats in my on ready event

[drifting arrow]

But that's not in your cog.

[supple jacinth]

nope

[drifting arrow]

Which means those commands arent getting loaded in

Try reloading the entire bot not just the cog.

[supple jacinth]

Thats what I have been doing

I did say xd

[drifting arrow]

Do we ree now? or cry now?

[supple jacinth]

Nothing comes up, I think it is time to cry

[drifting arrow]

well anyway. try my debugging steps. See if any of those work. Coz the code I shared definitely works.

[supple jacinth]

I dont get it though, because this command is in a seperate cog and it works..

[drifting arrow]

Wait. so the "cog" itself with the tfr command isnt being loaded in at all?

This is also why I said to just change all the names and things

[supple jacinth]

Um, lemme try changing names then

[drifting arrow]

all the names. Not just 1 at a time.

Change them all. You can figure out which one specifically it was afterwards.

[supple jacinth]

async def load_cogs():
    for cog in os.listdir('/home/joshy/Bot/cogs'):
        if cog.endswith('_cog.py'):
            module = cog[:-3]
            await bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{module}')
``` is there anything that looks wrong with my load cog function?

What the dir looks like

[drifting arrow]

all hail the bob cog

BOB COG

if the other cogs are loading then I doubt its your code

[supple jacinth]

Should i try manually add it?

[drifting arrow]

Part of programming is debugging such things. Instead of asking just do it.

See an issue, think of ways to fix it. No matter how dumb, the only one who will know is you.

and your locally assigned FBI agent.

[supple jacinth]

😭

[drifting arrow]

yay

[supple jacinth]

Nothing happens though.. :(

[drifting arrow]

But you learnt something.

What knowledge do you have.

[supple jacinth]

The cog has loaded, so there is no issue with that?

[drifting arrow]

\o/

1 thing debugged. We now know the cogs are loaded, there's no need to be worried. so the issue lies with the codeblock itself \o/

as i said earlier, it probably has something to do with your names for the functions and variables. Try and change those. Give them something completely random.

In the example code you sent earlier, I noticed a lot of the characters tfr being thrown around a lot. There's a good chance you've accidentlaly used tfr elsewhere and its being overwritten.

and the function test could have also been used elsewhere

So to ensure nothing is repeated, use random names as placeholders now. Load the bot, reload discord.

[supple jacinth]

This has been what i have had since you told me to change the names

[drifting arrow]

hehehe goofy goober

you definitely watched spongebob recently

oh

you're using the same function name for both commands sponge and bob

change the function name to be test1 and test2

rleoad the bot. reload discord.

then thank me.

Maybe even worship me a little bit.

[supple jacinth]

oh my god i didnt notice that..

i swear to god if this is the reason..

[drifting arrow]

IT WASNT IT

[drifting arrow]

Do you want the left corner or the right corner? I prefer the left corner to cry in.

[supple jacinth]

WAIT WAIT

[supple jacinth]

left please

the name is nolonger tfr..

hold on

[drifting arrow]

OH RIGHT. YEAH.

it's goofy

[drifting arrow]

k well. i give up. this rollercoaster of emotions hurts.

[supple jacinth]

yep

[drifting arrow]

someone else smarter than me can figure it out. im going back to anime.

[supple jacinth]

have fun lmao

thanks for trying lol

[drifting arrow]

Thanks. Im rewatching all of tensei shitara slime datta-kun.

New seasons coming out and I wanna make sure I remember everything. plus it's a good anime.

[supple jacinth]

I have no clue what that is, but imma take your word for it haha. Have fun.

[drifting arrow]

anime. about a guy reincarnated as a slime. super strong.

anime = cartoon. :D

[supple jacinth]

Ahh slime 🤣

[slate swan]

@slate swan@naive briar I know why it wasnt working, but idk why this happens
if i put print(message.components) above the if message.channel == ......etc line, it prints all the components, but if i but it below that line, where my print('test') was, it would just print []

its like the components disappeared after if message.channel .....etc line

[shrewd vapor]

Hiiii, i got a problem, after renaming 2 times a channel in 1 minute my bot get rate limit for 600 seconds

i really don't understand why

[supple jacinth]

@mild saddle I FOUND THE BLOODY ISSUE, I NEEDED TO SYNC TO ALL GUILDS

[mild saddle]

huh?

[supple jacinth]

Omg I’m so sorry

Wrong person

@drifting arrow

[mild saddle]

haha no worries, I'm also a discord bot person so I was assuming this was something that happened like a year ago lol

[supple jacinth]

😭 so sorry

[midnight oracle]

When you do the tree.sync() it automatically syncs the commands to all guilds :b

[supple jacinth]

Yes, I am aware. I previously did only for the guild but I did not know when making new slash commands I had to do it to all guilds?

[midnight oracle]

Ooh

I don't know. It may be a bad practice, but I always clean the guild and then sync every time the bot restarts, like this:

    @bot.event
    async def on_ready():
        logging.info(f'{bot.user} Is ready!')
        await bot.tree.sync(guild = None)


        for file in Path('cogs').glob('**/*.py'):
            *tree, _ = file.parts
            await bot.load_extension(f"{'.'.join(tree)}.{file.stem}")

        await bot.tree.sync()

[supple jacinth]

i can't tell you if that is good or not, i have literally only just learnt about all this slash command stuff today haha

[midnight oracle]

Oh xD

Fast learner xd

[supple jacinth]

Haha XD

[supple jacinth]

Aww ValueError: could not find open space for item, trying to make a modal, i guess i have too many fields? Are pages a thing or something?

[sick birch]

you can only have at max 5 fields on a modal

there is no built in paging, but you can implement it yourself. make one modal for each page, and go to the next page with buttons after a user submits their current page

[supple jacinth]

Right I see, thank you.

Hmm I dont know where to begin lol

[quick gust]

whats your use case?

[supple jacinth]

Want to create a form where people can submit TFR requests (Temporary Flight Restriction) basically a virtual FAA lol. Modals would be perfect but since the maximum field is 5 and I need an extra input for a reason... im stumped lol

[quick gust]

idk if having pages for this makes sense, maybe you could merge the Date and Time fields

Into a single "Date & Time" field and the date n time can be separated with a new line

[supple jacinth]

True, I just don't know what would be the best way to do this and make it easily accessible

[quick gust]

you still could make pages nothing wrong with that

you will have to figure out what u think is best in your opinion

[supple jacinth]

Yes, I was thinking of just sending separate messages which only the user can see but i feel like that would be too complicated since there is literally this Modal lol

[quick gust]

Robin said five though? You only have four?

[supple jacinth]

Yes, I forgot to add a recent screenshot

[quick gust]

Ah okay

[supple jacinth]

Also another question, Is it possible to make a date selector?
Because i found out Unix Timestamp is a thing but im not sure how i would do it lol

[vocal plover]

not nicely

[quick gust]

not that I know of

[vocal plover]

you can make a slash command/modal that interpretes something like "april 20th 2024" but there's no native client thing for it

which is a shame cause it'd be really useful

[quick gust]

agreed they should just copy paste the date selector for the search thing in discord

😀

[supple jacinth]

Surely I could get the current unix date and do some math to add the correct amount of time?

[supple jacinth]

exactly haha

[quick gust]

yes

[supple jacinth]

Wait a minute, it is entirely possible, couldnt I used drop downs or buttons to act as the "calendar"

[sick birch]

making UI in discord is just not great

i avoid it as much as i can but for really simple stuff. everything else, i'd just throw together a quick little frontend

[supple jacinth]

frontend?

Apologies, I'm not very good with that type of terminology haha

[sick birch]

a website

[quick gust]

I'm guessing he means a website?

[supple jacinth]

Ohh, thats pretty cool? How do you get it to connect to your bots?

[sick birch]

depends. what do you want it to do when a user submits a TFR request form?

[supple jacinth]

First it would get sent to a sqlite3 database stored on my raspberry pi, then and embed wil be sent in a channel ready to be reviewed by moderators who can use commands to accept/deny blah blah blah and when it gets accepted the status in the database changes to active. And then another embed gets sent into another channel which shows all the active TFRs. And i was really hoping to get that date/time thing done so it can be sorted and possibly when the time runs out the status changes to inactive automatically

[sick birch]

the way I'd do this is write a flask app that will directly get the form data from the website and put it into the bot. your bot could poll the database (say every minute) to check for new TFRs, if it finds any, post that embed into a channel with some buttons and what not. once a user verifies/denies it, the bot would send a request back to the web server saying so.

essentially you generally want a web server to be the central system and controls database access, and everything else talks through it (since source of truth)

what you can also do is cut out the bot entirely, you can send messages directly from a flask backend using a webhook

[supple jacinth]

right I see, so how would the bot be able to recieve and send to the website? Well like you said I could also just use webhooks lol

Could you also make the website on github or something? Or is that a lack of security?

[sick birch]

HTTP requests, using aiohttp (which already comes installed with discord.py for you)
my personal favourite is httpx

[supple jacinth]

Ahh I see

[sick birch]

no sadly, since it's a dynamic site that requires a backend

github pages works nicely for static pages (that is, you just serve a bunch of HTML files and call it a day)

[supple jacinth]

Aww man, so I will have to get a web server then? I could run from my raspberry pi but I will definitely not do that

[sick birch]

i mean, you don't have to i was just pointing out how i'd do it

[supple jacinth]

Yeah of course, but i think it would be really cool to have a dashboard like thing haha

[sick birch]

sure. it'd be a fun project and there's lots to be learned

[supple jacinth]

yeah, just feel like that hard part would be communicating the bot/webhook and website lol

Oh was going to ask what do you use for a web server?

[sick birch]

there are many tools, flask is common

FastAPI is my personal favourite

well, my team & I ran into some really obscure fastAPI issues the other day so not my favourite ATM :P

[supple jacinth]

Ah alright, thanks alot

XD

[slate swan]

@slate swan @naive briar turns out bots defer their message if its a slash command, all i had to do was sleep for 3 seconds and it all wouldve worked 😂

[shut river]

Hello I need some help

whats the problem

[viscid hornet]

are you connected to the internet?

something in terms of internet is refusing you from connecting to discord

[lyric solar]

oh golly oh gosh

i have this:

        await interaction.followup.send("Loading...")
        time.sleep(10)
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content="Loaded!")```
however that doesn't work, so how do i edit a followup message?

[golden portal]

message = await interaction.followup.send("Loading...")
await asyncio.sleep(10)
await message.edit(content="Loaded!")

webhook.send returns a WebhookMessage which you can use to edit, also use asyncio.sleep in an async environment, time.sleep is blocking

[lyric solar]

nvm thanks for trying to help ❤️

[lyric solar]

dont need it to be asynchronous because it’s not really in an async environment

[golden portal]

it is an async environment, discord.py is purely async

using time.sleep blocks the whole event loop
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean

[viscid hornet]

“.followup.edit_message()”

[viscid hornet]

using time.sleep blocks all of the code btw

so say you have a 10s time.sleep

everything on your bot doesnt work for the next 10s

[drifting arrow]

This is why you use async sleep :D

Async is the best

[sour parrot]

yo can someone vc with me and helkp me with my bot?? ive tried everything aand it isnt working

or i can send picturesp ls

[drifting arrow]

Just share your code.

[sour parrot]

ok

[drifting arrow]

If it's too big to be sent here, you can use !paste

[snow coral]

if i have 2 on_message events why does one stop working and how do i get around it

[drifting arrow]

!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.

[sour parrot]

!paste

[drifting arrow]

Because the 2nd one to load overwrites the first one

[snow coral]

how can i get around it

[drifting arrow]

Show your code

@drifting arrow

[drifting arrow]

Uhh lessee

[sour parrot]

and ive tried eveyrhting but it says my msg intent is missing

[drifting arrow]

Whats the issue exactly?

[drifting arrow]

oh. you need intents? You probably havent enabled intents in discord developers

https://discord.com/developers/applications

[sour parrot]

i didd thio

[drifting arrow]

D:

[sour parrot]

exactly and idk whatsh appening

shouyld i try making a new project?

[drifting arrow]

No.

# Intents
intents = discord.Intents.all()
#intents.members = True
#intents.messages = True
#intents.guilds = True
``` try this

[sour parrot]

ok

OMGG

IT WORKED I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

THANK YOU

[drifting arrow]

I will need to let you know, this does enable all intents and is not ideal if you do want to properly manage it

It is recommended you only enable what you need to better manage your security

[sour parrot]

and how do i do that/

[drifting arrow]

Lemme find the documetnation

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=intent#discord.Intents

[sour parrot]

wait @drifting arrow why cant i like use my commands

[drifting arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sour parrot]

whenever i put / it doesnt show my commands

[drifting arrow]

coz those arent slash commands

[sour parrot]

what command is it then?

[drifting arrow]

Looks like text commands that are suppose to be executed using /

[sour parrot]

?

wym

[drifting arrow]

try /add_teamroles in chat

just type it and dont expect it to be a slash command

[sour parrot]

OH

ok that worked but i want it do display the commands how do i do that

[naive briar]

It depends on what library you're using

[sour parrot]

im using discord.py or somehint

[drifting arrow]

lookup in the docs "app commands"

[sour parrot]

ok

[charred sable]

can someone help how do i get rid of this error message on python ?

!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.

[naive briar]

Oh, I don't know. If only the solution is printed right in front of us 😔😔😔😔😔

[charred sable]

i just started...

[naive briar]

Sorry, I probably went too far 🥴

[merry cliff]

did you manage to figure it out?

[slate swan]

is it possible to send a message in on_ready() event?

[quick gust]

sure

if you have the ID of the channel you want to send the message to

[charred sable]

yea

[merry cliff]

ok

[charred sable]

i found this python code on yt for the audio play on channels can someone help me how to fix it i downloanded ffmpeg already.

i can make it join discord voice chats but i cant make it play sound

do i violate some sort of terms..

cuz im just gonna use the bot on my server

and i cant fix the problem

[slate swan]

by using ytdl you do no matter how you use it

so we cant help based on rule 5

[charred sable]

then how does the other music bots are legal

[slate swan]

who said they are

[charred sable]

idk lol

hmm

[slate swan]

you think why most of music bots got closed

[charred sable]

i added the feature that bot can join calls but what can i do with it

im not using discord that often

didnt notice many

[slate swan]

🤷‍♀️

[charred sable]

atleast can u help me with this code ?

[slate swan]

its await member.kick()

[charred sable]

ty

i have a help command here how can i make it to send every command line by line

[slate swan]

use next line \n

!e print("hi\nthere")

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | hi
002 | there

[slate swan]

or you can use multiline string

!e ```py
print("""hey
a
b
c
123""")

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | hey

004 | c
005 | 123

[charred sable]

ty

[lyric solar]

which i want btw

[naive briar]

That includes your bot's heartbeat to Discord

So it'll end up making your bot disconnects

[charred sable]

can someone explain to me how can i fix that problem ?

[slate swan]

Its discord.User

[charred sable]

i need to make it big right..

the u

my brain is not workin today

i learned much things and im tryna store all

made it work ty alot

[shut river]

How do I fix this bug?

@viscid hornet

Or anyone please?

[viscid hornet]

whatever you put into that argument was not a discord.user

[viscid hornet]

the line you drew isnt where the error message is, it’s below it

[shut river]

where?

[viscid hornet]

on the second image

[shut river]

await.self.dispatch_event?

[viscid hornet]

no

i just said you drew the line incorrectly

thats not where the error is

[shut river]

oh where's the error im just trying to fix it

[viscid hornet]

just told you. its the line below that line

and its saying self.db.deposit is None so it doesn’t have an attribute called .world

[shut river]

thats weird

[viscid hornet]

somewhere in your code, most likely the __init__ section, you’ve set .deposit to be None

hit Ctrl + F then type in “.deposit”

[slate swan]

👍

[viscid hornet]

it’ll bring up everywhere in your code where that term is found

[viscid hornet]

im spitting ngl 🗣🗣

[shut river]

this

[viscid hornet]

you probably want discord.Member instead

[viscid hornet]

no. reread my message again

[shut river]

hm

[viscid hornet]

@shut river

[shut river]

its self.client.deposit

my deposit commands works fine but when i initiate the withdraw command its not working

[viscid hornet]

you want self.db.deposit

[shut river]

why

[viscid hornet]

not self.client.deposit

[shut river]

why tho

[viscid hornet]

oh wait nvm i read the error msg wrong

[shut river]

;-;

[viscid hornet]

i just woke up leave me alone

[shut river]

kay

[viscid hornet]

the error message said “self.client.deposit” doesnt have an attr named .world

[shut river]

but i do have it

[viscid hornet]

wait it’ll give you lines as well, hold on

line 51 is where the error is

show me like lines 45 to 55

[shut river]

of client events

        await self.client.withdraw.report(embed=embed, add_fields=False)

        self.client.stop()

    @growtopia.Listener
    async def on_request_world_select_menu(self, _: growtopia.Context) -> None:
        await self.client.join_world(self.client.deposit.world)
        self.client.sent_enter_world_packet = True

    @growtopia.Listener
    async def on_send_map_data(self, ctx: growtopia.Context) -> None:

[viscid hornet]

ok look for self.client.deposit in your code now

[shut river]

alr

[viscid hornet]

somewhere in your code you’ve set it to None and thats whats causing the issue

[shut river]

but where..

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/CUWA

[viscid hornet]

thats what im telling you to find out

[shut river]

i dont know where

[viscid hornet]

“.deposit = None” is somewhere in the code

[shut river]

its not there

[viscid hornet]

use ctrl + f like last time

[shut river]

is there a way to check through all my project

[viscid hornet]

you’ll have to click on each file individually

what type is .deposit?

variable? string? im guessing a class by how you’re using it

put in “print(type(self.client.deposit))” somewhere there

[shut river]

yh

[viscid hornet]

is .deposit.world a real thing?

[shut river]

yes

i quit i dont know how

its been a week and idk how to fix it

[viscid hornet]

hmm thats strange

[shut river]

im fr

[shut river]

i FR DONT KNO HOW

[slate swan]

Look for where you initialize it

[spice seal]

?work

?leaderboard

Sorry wrong server

😉 Hope y'all have a nice day with developing bots

[charred sable]

guys can someone explain me how do i kick or ban or do whatever i want to do with user id instead of using their @ ?

[supple jacinth]

What is the best way to organise all my code? I am a very un organised person and its starting to effect my programming, I want to organise it so it is all nice an easily accessible and understandable to read.
If anyone can even give me a few ideas, that would be appreciated very much!

im using discord.py by the way, not like pycord or something

[viscid hornet]

group similar commands like currency commands into one cog and then in one file. im more used to one cog per file so i’ll suggest that. order everything in your file like this:

1. imports
2. funcs, vars, etc
3. views + other classes
4. main cog code
5. setup func

[supple jacinth]

also, another questions, does ctx not working with app commands?

[viscid hornet]

nope. app commands use interaction

[supple jacinth]

so ctx.send and stuff wouldnt work?

[supple jacinth]

Right, I see. Thank you

[viscid hornet]

and then if you need to, like my bot had stuff for using items, minigames, gambling and currency commands, so i grouped them with a folder called economy

[viscid hornet]

nope. you’ll have to use .response.

and then if you want to do anything after, its .followup.

as long as you typehint to discord.Interaction or Interaction if you’ve imported it from discord, your IDE will handle all the suggestions

[viscid hornet]

its .get_user(user_id) on whatever your bot is assigned as

[slate swan]

Depending what you want to do, you'll have to get the member rather than the user

[supple jacinth]

I see, im using Visual Studio Code. But I'm doing an SSH connection to my Raspberry PI, would i just need to intall the correct extension in VSC?

[viscid hornet]

oh right, i forgot about .get_member()

[slate swan]

And you probably want to combine get_ and fetch_ to get an accurate result

[viscid hornet]

just typehint in vsc. it’ll give you all the suggestions relating to .response. and .followup.

[viscid hornet]

does get_member() return something if it cant find the person in the server

[slate swan]

It checks in cache, so even if the member is in the guild it may return None

[viscid hornet]

ohh

[slate swan]

Hence combining as get_member(...) or await fetch_member(...) will use API calls as well, and make sure you get something in return

[viscid hornet]

i forgot you can just use “or” if something returns None

[slate swan]

Yeah it's pretty useful, a library also has getch_ iirc

Which does exactly that in the background, which is pretty nice

[slate swan]

the problem is that it does not

disnake or nextcord or idk

discord.py does not other might have

Yeah, that's why I said "a library" and not discord.py or "it also has"

[supple jacinth]

is it meant to come up with more things?

[quick gust]

disnake does yes

[supple jacinth]

I have installed Discord Tools extensions

let me try disnake

[quick gust]

no I wasn't replying to you

[slate swan]

mkay

[supple jacinth]

ohhh sorry

[quick gust]

[supple jacinth]

@commands.Cog.listener() have you defined commands

[supple jacinth]
