[supple jacinth]

when you say "code not working" it does not help

[viscid hornet]

show me your error again

[charred sable]

gimme a sec

oh i forgot

it doesnt give any error man

[viscid hornet]

so it works?

[charred sable]

it needs to give a message when i reaction any message

wait

lemme try

not workin

[supple jacinth]

...

[charred sable]

no errors

bro im trying to figure out

if i could fix it myself i would done it a hour ago

i cant get any errors

[viscid hornet]

open your discord and show the message

[supple jacinth]

what does the code of that reaction message you want to do look like?

[viscid hornet]

you’re testing smth with discord so show whats on the discord side of things

[charred sable]

not giving anything

[viscid hornet]

is that in a cog or outside of a cog?

[charred sable]

it is in the cog ig

[slate swan]

Considering it's in a cog, you've added the cog to the bot in the setup function in the cog.
Same as loading the cog when starting the bot, right?

Just making sure the basics are done since you don't share the entire code

[viscid hornet]

is it

[charred sable]

wait lemme try to move them 1

its in the cog

[supple jacinth]

send the full cod file. in a paste bin

[viscid hornet]

ok lemme check further

[charred sable]

ok

[supple jacinth]

are you loading this cog lol

[viscid hornet]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

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.

[viscid hornet]

use that pastebin link

[charred sable]

here

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/EGWQ

[slate swan]

It's not a cog....

So you should use @client.event

[charred sable]

oh

need to learn alot of things...

[slate swan]

Just like your on_ready at the top

And remove self from the parameter list as well

[charred sable]

ok

[slate swan]

Cogs are described here https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/cogs.html

And getting started is somewhat here https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

[viscid hornet]

if something is in a cog, it’ll look like:

class ExampleCog(commands.Cog):
…
async def your_func(self):
…

your_func is inside example cog

[charred sable]

ty

[slate swan]

Where you see how events are done, just like the on_ready you made

[supple jacinth]

you would also need setup function too hehe

[charred sable]

client.event is the things that starts with bot right

like renders every sec

[slate swan]

Not really no, it's just a listener of the event

[viscid hornet]

[slate swan]

Won't be run every second or anything like that

[charred sable]

ty

[supple jacinth]

what even is that emoji lol

[slate swan]

It will be run once the bot receives that event from the gateway

[charred sable]

bro u guys gonna find me everyday lol

[viscid hornet]

low tier god

[supple jacinth]

what does that mean lol

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/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('------')```

[charred sable]

now gonna make it reaction role ty guys

[viscid hornet]

wdym by reaction role?

[supple jacinth]

HAHAA

[charred sable]

when u click the reaction it will give a role

like

[viscid hornet]

use a button

[charred sable]

bot sends the message and reaction then it will give role

[viscid hornet]

they’re (imo) easier than reaction checks

[charred sable]

hm

can u teach me how do i use that box maybe

cuz idk that much its still very complicated for me xd

[viscid hornet]

views are quite high level for a beginner ngl

[charred sable]

ye

[viscid hornet]

start with reaction chekcs

but buttons will be better in every stance

they use interactions which are a new feature on dpy v2

[sick birch]

Why not just use the built in role picker

[charred sable]

how can i get a messages channel id + message id ?

[pale zenith]

this whilst holding shift https://leo.might-be.gay/9CYXTH.png

[charred sable]

no with python code

im tryna make reaction role

[viscid hornet]

thats a thing?

[viscid hornet]

channel.id and message.id iirc

although i dont think they’d be any use to you since they’re just numbers

[hushed galleon]

i think he's referring to the community onboarding, you can add a bunch of questions/answers that grant either roles or channels

[viscid hornet]

might be, but i remember seeing a select menu or smth in the examples section of the docs about how you can pick roles and stuff

[pale zenith]

discord.ui.RoleSelect?

[viscid hornet]

yeah that

[hushed galleon]

doesnt let you customize which roles you can choose tho

[viscid hornet]

what is that anyway

[pale zenith]

yeah that is fucking annoying

[hushed galleon]

https://discord.com/assets/d72e21c18e092c8e224b1d954ef31713.png

[viscid hornet]

ohh

[pale zenith]

how is your screenshot transparent huh

[hushed galleon]

oh i just took it from api docs

[pale zenith]

oh

[viscid hornet]

wait can you write one that will make the roles customisable

like where you can select all at once instead of just one option

this thing.
what the hell is this

[hushed galleon]

seems like a normal select with max_values > 1

[viscid hornet]

oh so thats what that means

im learning

[charred sable]

i dont get any error messages its client.event but still doesnt get the role on user

[hushed galleon]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#select-menu-object-select-menu-structure

max_values?
integer
Maximum number of items that can be chosen (defaults to 1); max 25
corresponding dpy docs:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Select

[hushed galleon]

on_reaction_add requires the message to be cached, and the cache is reset every time you restart your bot

[charred sable]

uhhh

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add would be more suitable, but a bit more complicated to work with

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

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

[charred sable]

then

how do i mix these 2 man ...

bro even this looks like complicated

im givin up on that idea

ig

[viscid hornet]

try pinging the role

[viscid hornet]

wdym mix them?

@terse helm

[charred sable]

like

the reaction role needs to be listened every sec

and it needs to be stay after the restart

[viscid hornet]

wdym reaction role?

the role given upon reaction?

[viscid hornet]

what needs to stay after restart?

[viscid hornet]

using payload, would it be payload.member for the member who added it and payload.reaction for what it is

[viscid hornet]

you might need to use str(.emoji) instead

[charred sable]

you know when i restart the bot i need to send another emoji

at the client.event commands

[viscid hornet]

why do you need to send another emoji?

[viscid hornet]

users cant have roles; members can.

[quick gust]

I don't think payload.reaction exists?

[charred sable]

send message again

[viscid hornet]

what attrs does payload have

[quick gust]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.RawReactionActionEvent

[viscid hornet]

on every restart?

[charred sable]

like i need to send message again to bot to wiew and

ye

[viscid hornet]

bit unnecessary

its the same message

[viscid hornet]

i meant emoji mb

[viscid hornet]

yeah that’s definitely unnecessary

use the same message ID
unless im missing something?

[charred sable]

its like

im gonna use render word as bot sees it

[viscid hornet]

[charred sable]

it renders the message when i start the bot

[viscid hornet]

do you know what render means

[charred sable]

but when i stop and restrart the bot it doesnt sees it

bro its like a variable stop doin that

idk what word to use do you think im from england or smtn

[viscid hornet]

because you’re using on_reaction_add and not on_raw_reaction_add

[charred sable]

ty

[viscid hornet]

the first one relies on cache which gets cleared whenever you restart your bot

[viscid hornet]

||finally 😭||

[charred sable]

lol

[viscid hornet]

glad we could help

[quick gust]

Ah i see

[modern valve]

@bot.tree.command(name="sample command", description="This is a sample command")
async def sample(interaction: discord.Interaction):
  await interaction.response.send_message("Thanks for running my command!", ephemeral=True)

@bot.event()
async def on_ready():
  await bot.tree.sync()

Simply, rather than ctx.reply() it is interaction.response.send_message()

and it requires syncing if there is any changes.

changes being:
new command
removed command
command change name
command change desc

[viscid hornet]

dont autosync

[modern valve]

why not

it works fine for my bot

[viscid hornet]

__A__uto __S__yncing (your command tree) __S__ucks, and here's why:
Syncing your command tree automatically causes extra unnecessary requests to be made, this is because you only need to sync when commands are updated.
*see ?tag whensync for a more nuanced list on when to sync.

What syncing does is send your commands to discord for one guild or globally. If you haven't changed your command's descriptions, added/removed commands, changed names, parameters, etc. you shouldn't sync, since you'd only be updating discord with the commands they already have without doing any changes, which is pointless and a waste of an API request to a limit with an already tight rate limit.
*see ?tag whatsync for a more nuanced on what syncing is, and how to do so.

Oh and also, syncing your tree sometimes breaks discord, making commands not pop up for users until they restart their discord client, switch channels, or any other mysterious random events, which just inconveniences the end users of your bot for no reason.

Where should I sync instead?
It's better to sync using a normal (message) command (or even an on_message if you prefer Client) You can even use just a simple eval to do so.
*for example:?tag umbras sync command or the jsk sync command from the debugging tool Jishaku (see ?tag jsk)

*But I don't have the new message content intent... What now?
Bots can still receive message content when the bot is mentioned in it, or in DMs! You could set the bot prefix to commands.when_mentioned

*Oh, and if you're one of those people who restarts their bot very frequently instead of using extensions and reloading them, this could cause rate limit issues too. (see ?tag extensions)

[modern valve]

ah

[viscid hornet]

taken from official dpy

[abstract granite]

I understood what it was @bot.slash_command(name="sample command", description="This is a sample command")
async def sample(interaction: discord.Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("Thanks for running my command!", ephemeral=True)

[modern valve]

what if i use a q!sync command

[viscid hornet]

yeah prefix works fine

[modern valve]

alr

[viscid hornet]

its bc not all of your extensions could be loaded so your commands could end up being half synced

[modern valve]

i dont have extentions

i just have like 3k lines in one file 😭

how do i do a wait without halting the rest of the code

[modern valve]

@bot.command(name="sync")
async def syncTree(ctx):
    if ctx.author.id == 1151946999835402260:
        message = await ctx.reply("... Syncing Commands")
        await bot.tree.sync()
        await message.edit(":white_check_mark: Commands Synced!")
        await asyncio.wait(timeout=3)
        await message.delete()

like this?

[viscid hornet]

yes. also messages can have a delete_after period

[modern valve]

how would i do that

[viscid hornet]

i think .edit has it

[viscid hornet]

its just a delete after kwarg in .send

[modern valve]

i do not understand arg and kwarg

oh also

i added debugging and it doesnt edit the message

it kinda just stops there

[viscid hornet]

an argument is just something that goes in a function

[modern valve]

fair

[viscid hornet]

a keyword argument is an argument defined by a keyword, so days = ?, length = ?, …

[modern valve]

@bot.command(name="sync")
async def syncTree(ctx):
    if ctx.author.id == 1151946999835402260:
        print("sync commands")
        message = await ctx.reply("... Syncing Commands")
        await bot.tree.sync()
        print("commands synced")
        await message.edit(":white_check_mark: Commands Synced!")
        await asyncio.wait(timeout=3)
        await message.delete()

it syncs

it prints "commands synced" and stops there

what am i doing wrong

[viscid hornet]

its .sleep, not .wait

[modern valve]

no it doesnt edit the message

[viscid hornet]

errors? tb?

[modern valve]

no errors, probably my outstanding error blocker

i mean i can do except Exception as e:

[viscid hornet]

you should have an else: \ raise error

[modern valve]

Message.edit() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[viscid hornet]

that way uncaught errors dont get eaten

[modern valve]

print(e) works fine

if i see it, that is

[viscid hornet]

print(e) wont include traceback

use else raise error

[modern valve]

well no, its because i know where the error is

heres the error

Message.edit() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

heres the code

@bot.command(name="sync")
async def syncTree(ctx):
    try:
        if ctx.author.id == 1151946999835402260:
            print("sync commands")
            message = await ctx.reply("... Syncing Commands")
            await bot.tree.sync()
            print("commands synced")
            await message.edit(":white_check_mark: Commands Synced!")
            await asyncio.wait(timeout=3)
            await message.delete()
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

[viscid hornet]

still good to have tb further down the line

[modern valve]

just help with the error

[viscid hornet]

idk whats up w it ngl, looks like it runs fine

[pale zenith]

message.edit takes keyword arguments only, not positonal.
message.edit(content='...')

@modern valve ^

[modern valve]

thanks

[viscid hornet]

i was gonna say add content = … but i thought i was tweaking

thanks leo

[modern valve]

okay what does fs do in await asyncio.wait()

figured it out

[viscid hornet]

use .sleep

[modern valve]

is that the same as time.sleep()?

@viscid hornet

[viscid hornet]

yes but async

[modern valve]

ok

[viscid hornet]

how do you define a function to only take kwargs?

[modern valve]

await asyncio.sleep(3)

this does 3 seconds right

yes it does

thanks bye

[viscid hornet]

yep

[pale zenith]

def foo(pos only, /, pos or keyword, *, keyword only)

[viscid hornet]

oh that’s pretty cool. whats the advantage for this?

[pale zenith]

To define how parameters should be passed lol

[viscid hornet]

is this like a typehints thing then where it doesnt do anything at runtime but is useful when writing code?

[pale zenith]

No

It literally defines how parameters should be passed lol

[viscid hornet]

[pale zenith]

!e ```py
def foo(arg, /): ...

foo(arg=1)

[unkempt canyon]

@pale zenith :x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

[vapid parcel]

How to make a user install bot?

In dpy?

[twilit grotto]

a selfbot? bannable offense

[vapid parcel]

Bro what?

Its a user install bot, not a self bot

[vapid parcel]

Its a new thing allowed BY DISCORD, so there is no bannable offense to it.

[naive briar]

What even is that

[vapid parcel]

Are you guys not updated on the new User install bots....

#613427779723067411 message

I just wanna see someone else make a user install app in dpy

I haven't seen anyone else do it yet, so I have no clue if its possible...

This is all I can find, which is in JS, which I do not know JS for discord bot, I only know JS for web developing. So yeah.

https://youtu.be/FzqIAphRxoc

User installable apps are a new feature provided by Discord that allows you to use an applications global commands even if the application is not in the server. This also allows you to create commands that will work in DMs between users.

Support currently exists on a feature branch, but will be available on master soon and will officially release in version 2.4.

To install: pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@feature/user_apps

See the bikeshedding post for the latest development information and to report bugs.

The following decorators have been added or changed to support this:

• app_commands.allowed_contexts
• app_commands.allowed_installs
• app_commands.guild_install
• app_commands.user_install
• app_commands.private_channel_only
• app_commands.dm_only
• app_commands.guild_only

Slash commands and context menus are supported.

By default, commands are installed to guilds only but permitted in any context for new commands.

ex.

@app_commands.command()
@app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True)
@app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True)
async def useable_anywhere(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("I can be used anywhere, and am installed to guilds and users.")

or

@app_commands.command()
@app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=False, users=True)
@app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True)
async def useable_only_users(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("I am only be installed to users, but can be used anywhere.")

NOTE: The only information available when processing a command used by a user is what's available on the interaction itself. You will NOT receive any extra information that would normally be in cache (guild members, guild roles, etc.).

This is how to do it, discord.py server showed me, so if anyone else needs it, here you go!

[naive briar]

Ugh

[civic reef]

[latent jay]

How can I link to a channel when my button is pressed?

[long pecan]

Morning all!
Im seeking help.
What do I want to do:
Currently im showing a few options in an embed. Each option has an ID. I am then sending a (discord.ui.View) with a dropdown menu (discord.ui.Select) with the IDs + "Cancel". Once they select an option they are presented another (discord.ui.View) as a confirmation with just the two buttons Confirm and Cancel.

What im struggling with:
I think im messing up the webhook as the interaction works. But only once, after that I get an interaction failed with the terminal showing 404, interaction not found.
It is however putting the output as well as "interaction failed" message in discord.

What im doing atm:
I changed the inter.response.send_message to inter.channel.send as how I understand it you can only send one response to an interaction.
I think I need to use the followup webhook, but I dont know how to use this.

If somebody has some ideas already, im happy to hear it.
I'll see if I can come up with a minimum working example shortly.

Thanks!

EDIT: Small example below
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/O4SA
EDITT: Also opened a thread
#1226808932530651136

[slate swan]

is it possible to answer modals like this as a bot?

[long pecan]

2 edits in here. code + open help thread.

[drifting arrow]

I dont think bots can anwer modals

For starters, they'd have to be able to trigger a modal, which is an interaction, which includes things like buttons and slash commands

So, unless a bot can even trigger an activity such as buttons or slash commands, they cant answer modals.

[drifting arrow]

Also. From your question, it sounds like you're trying to make a "self bot", which is against discords TOS and therefore this servers rules.

[slate swan]

bots can click buttons

[slate swan]

not what im making but ight

[drifting arrow]

Then assuming you're doing it all within TOS and you can actually get the bot to click a button, you'd probably want to start by reading the response it gets when it does click a button

[slate swan]

yeah i think so, i havent tried anything yet i just wanted to ask if its possible before i try to do it

[drifting arrow]

Try anyway.

Worst case you spend an afternoon trying and learning new things

best case you figure it out in 30 minutes

[glossy flame]

I'm using Pycharm to run my bot, but even after closing Pycharm (by ending the process on task manager) the bot is still responding to my messages, how?!

It's not like it's running from multiple clients or anything since when I turn it back on it responds with singular messages (as intended)

[quick gust]

I highly doubt that you can

[viscid hornet]

https://discord.com/<guild_id>/<channel_id>/<message_id> is the url format i think

[viscid hornet]

just use .followup.send()

its the same as inter.resp.send_msg() but obviously has no limited

be warned, it can only be used after a response is given

[viscid hornet]

no because bots cant interact with UI elements

[long pecan]

so I must inter.resp.send_msg()
and then after that inter.followup.send()?

[viscid hornet]

yep 👍🏽

[viscid hornet]

its not possible with buttons but if you use reactions it works pretty much fine

[viscid hornet]

sounds pretty cool if you can turn off your computer and your bot still works

i wouldnt be complaining tbh

[viscid hornet]

learn it yourself lmao https://discord.gg/dpy

[long pecan]

okay trying xD

[long pecan]

Other question:
I am sending a new message to the channel:
inter.channel.send() How do I get the message id of this message to delete later?

[viscid hornet]

whatever = await something.send()
await whatever.delete()

[long pecan]

ah I just also found that on the reddit.
And that will still also send the message to the channel?

[viscid hornet]

yes

since you’re using channel.send

[long pecan]

Okay thanks. I think what I have is good enough for now. ❤️

[viscid hornet]

nps

[glossy flame]

Can anyone refer me to some resources that can help me implement AI to my bot? like make it act like an AI model with information provided by me and trained by me.

[viscid hornet]

#data-science-and-ml

also training your own AI model might be pretty hard but go for it

[glossy flame]

ty

[analog hinge]

If your bot is larger scale, meaning publicly availible id also build a little test case szenario for it.

like
send message
asyncio sleep thingy for a couple of minutes(do not time.sleep)
delete message

in code. at the same time when the message is sent editing the channels permissions so the bot is not allowed to sent or do sh by channel permissions

lastly you'll see if any error is raised or not and can build for it.

If you are asking why this sort of test would be useful:
Permissions your bot has when used through, lets say some slash command differ heavily from what it is allowed to do later on. this does for a fact include editing its own messages (not sure about deleting)
and people tend to have about every ever so weird setting under the sun.

So if you want your bot to be public at one point and harden your code for it; there you go.

[long pecan]

Thanks 👍🏻

[muted kraken]

Can anyone help me create a bot to use with / command?

[viscid hornet]

https://about.abstractumbra.dev/dpy

this will go through slash commands

use the second and third link

[charred sable]

im struggling with pasting custom emojis on embed can someone help me ?

it doesnt convert to emoji

[slate swan]

whats up, trying to make a command that sends images based on a search result, how can i go about doing that? any hints

[cloud dawn]

Google has an api

[slate swan]

is it free?

[cloud dawn]

Yeah it's called a search api

[slate swan]

[cloud dawn]

Looked it up it's semi free

100 results per day

[slate swan]

thats good enough

[cloud dawn]

100 search queries per day*

https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview

[slate swan]

thanks

im not getting any errors, not sure if its just not able to search or what any clue?

[viscid hornet]

what does your code look like?

[viscid hornet]

wdym by pasting them on an embed

[viscid hornet]

any tbs? what prompts the bot to see theres no images

by prompt, i mean:

x = 5
if x == 5:
print(“yes”)

in this case the prompt is “x == 5”

[charred sable]

can u help me with that code

it checks if the reaction added if added it will cancel the server build

[slate swan]

i deleted it out of pure rage 🙂 will try again and send code if it doesnt work

[viscid hornet]

why is the title out of quotes

[viscid hornet]

good luck this time

[charred sable]

it does not effect the thing

i copied the last code of mine forgot the delete it

[viscid hornet]

also thats not how you listen for reactions

[charred sable]

i need to get mesagge id

[viscid hornet]

you cant have an event instead of a command, that doesnt work

[charred sable]

oh

but how can i store the mesagge id

cuz i need to use that in the client.event too

[viscid hornet]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

use this instead

[wind dome]

I made a main file imported discord and it worked made a cog imported discord it works but when i tried new file cog and try to import discord it says module cant be accessed any ideas how i could fix that?

[charred sable]

the main idea is there is a command that will reset server and it will cancel or do it based on the reaction

[viscid hornet]

you wont need a client.event dont worry

[charred sable]

oh

[slate swan]

i do have another problem i need help with, i made commands for my server that send messages to resolve issues. and it was working fine but now it sends it 2x and im not sure why.

[viscid hornet]

can you elaborate more on your issue?

[viscid hornet]

i don’t see an issue with the code

[slate swan]

yeah thats why im confused lol! it was just fine last night. and now after i try to make the thing with google api it messed up.. but i dont have any of that code in anymore

does this as output

[wind dome]

i have main.py file which i used discord.py imports like import discord and from discord import commands and it works in main.py and in my first cog file normally but now when i made a new cog file when i try to import discord it says that module cant be accessed

[viscid hornet]

hmm weird

do you have screenshots?

[slate swan]

lol.. im dumb i had it running on visual studio and in windows

[viscid hornet]

well done? 😭

[viscid hornet]

quick question: why are you using on_message instead of a dedicated command?

[wind dome]

ill rec vid one sec

[viscid hornet]

alr good

[wind dome]

as you can see main.py and botinfo.py both work with import discord the new cog file doesnt

[viscid hornet]

🤦🏽‍♂️

it means you havent used it silly

[wind dome]

yes i figured it out thanks XD

[viscid hornet]

my dumbass thought you didnt have the package installed 💀

[wind dome]

eyo ngl same XD but thanks for help

[cloud dawn]

Might wanna reset that api key

[wind dome]

did it instantly after i recorded

[slate swan]

did command instead

[viscid hornet]

better

[slate swan]

still no luck though with the results.

not sure if its the API or the code

[viscid hornet]

try printing the api result

[slate swan]

also you should consider using aiohttp instead of request

your code is most likely blocking

[viscid hornet]

oh yeah good call

[slate swan]

i see

will do both of those

that helped a bit, actually got a error now

fixed that, i messed it up. still just getting no image found

might try redidt api

[slate swan]

how can i go about making an embed image bigger?

[unreal pilot]

does discord not support ipv6 connections?

my vps has ipv6 only

[glad cradle]

isn't that a ssl certificate related error?

[unreal pilot]

im not sure how i would fix that

[neat heath]

hmm

[proven parcel]

im trying to take in input with /commands but not sure how to make it heres code

@bot.tree.command(name="skick")
async def skick(interaction: discord.Interaction, ):#<- paramater for input
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"kicked user {member}")

[torn sail]

have u used normal text commands before?

it so its the same as that, you would add a parameter with a typehint of discord.Member

[charred sable]

can someone explain me what am i making wrong

[naive briar]

What's wrong with it?

[charred sable]

it doesnt give a position to the role

the role doesnt go down

[drifting arrow]

Can role permissions even be 9999?

try a different position?

try like 5 and 3 and 1

[charred sable]

tried

i was getting eror that saying it does not have that thing

saying i cant give position

but i fixed it so u guys dont need to wry

[drifting arrow]

According to the api there is no position

You could do this tho

[charred sable]

ty

[naive briar]

Please send the error along with your questions next time. It can be hard to spot the error from the code sometimes 🫠

[young dagger]

Is there any way to fetch users by using their username?

[civic reef]

which feature are you building?

[young dagger]

Huh

What do you mean?

[civic reef]

just curious to know what you are building

[young dagger]

I want to make 'whois' command

[civic reef]

okay

[young dagger]

Do you actually know how to solve the issue?

[civic reef]

nope

[naive briar]

Iterate through the guild members and filter by their names

[young dagger]

What if the user is not a member of the guild 🤔

[naive briar]

Tell the invoker

[young dagger]

Elaborate please?

[naive briar]

Tell the command invoker (or caller, whatever) that the user isn't in the server 🤷

[young dagger]

I was wondering if there's a way to get someones userID using their username, even if they're not part of the guild

[drifting arrow]

Bots can only "see" those who are in the same guild as it.

[naive briar]

There's probably a way, just not available in discord.py

That the tools like discord.id used

[drifting arrow]

There's a way using the straight API to query a users profile.
You could also lookup authorized apps.

[naive briar]

Wait, no

If there is, it probably won't accept a username

[young dagger]

Do you know the endpoint perhaps?

[drifting arrow]

na

i use discordpy. i just know it's possible coz u can look people up on websites

[young dagger]

Well I want my bot to be able to do it 😅

[drifting arrow]

y?

stick to people your bot can see

[young dagger]

Thanks for trying to help

[drifting arrow]

Idk if I'd thank me. I didnt really help at all.

Just check the official discord API.

[young dagger]

Yeah, that is what I did

[wraith mirage]

made a nuke bot (i know this might be something bad but i will only use it for good)

[slate swan]

[fringe coyote]

whats the different between 2 options?

and
```py

[robust fulcrum]

Guys I have heard of a discord bot library called hikari is there any good reason we can use it over disnake?

[clever spade]

wild

[viscid hornet]

||use discord.py||

[viscid hornet]

in what possible context can you use a nuke bot for good

[wraith mirage]

nuking nsfw servers

[viscid hornet]

fair enough

just be warned

?rule 5

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

[abstract granite]

what?

is a slash command

[viscid hornet]

nuke bots are against TOS

[abstract granite]

my bot don´t is a nuke bot :VVVV

is replit

[wraith mirage]

a1 english

[viscid hornet]

so the question isnt related to the nuke bot?

i already answered that question in dms anyway

[viscid hornet]

fr 😭

[abstract granite]

and error: ```py

[viscid hornet]

why is it outside of a cog?

also the cmd is missing a description

and you should definitely be using your own PC

you’ll get farrr more out of using your own machine than using replit

just drop replit and use vscode and run code on your own machine

or atom or another IDE

replit will strangle your bot’s performance

[abstract granite]

ok ok

[abstract granite]

I don't know

[viscid hornet]

put it inside a cog then?

[wind dome]

hey buddy can i dm you real quick please?

[viscid hornet]

sure?

[mighty terrace]

in your opinion what infos should a userinfo command contain?

[glossy flame]

@tasks.loop(minutes=1)
async def send_random_gif():
    f = open("epicgifs.txt", "r")
    gif_list = f.read().split("\n")
    print(gif_list)
    chosen_gif = random.choice(gif_list)
    print(chosen_gif)
    channel = bot.get_channel(1055877809278566544)
    await channel.send(chosen_gif)

I've got this to read a file of a list of gifs i want it to send occasionally, but it's reading the last empty line and choosing it from the list, how can I prevent this?

[viscid hornet]

all the info about a user

[glossy flame]

wait

[viscid hornet]

profile, roles

[glossy flame]

i figured it out

ill just use an if statement to check if its empty and reroll the choice

[viscid hornet]

check the docs for discord.Member (i’ll put a link below) and see what attributes that class has

then you can format the details accordingly

[mighty terrace]

okay thanks

[viscid hornet]

you dont have to keep reading the file and getting the channel btw. make these variables somewhere in the code and get from those i’d say

[viscid hornet]

dont have any empty lines?

you could just do f.read()[:-1] to remove the last “\n”

[glossy flame]

thank you very much

[mighty terrace]

@viscid hornet what you think about this?

[merry cliff]

It would be fun if you made the embed colour the same as the status colour

[viscid hornet]

use “discord.utils.format_dt()” instead for the join dates

and the create dates

[merry cliff]

Or perhaps use a timestamp

[viscid hornet]

use role pings instead as well

[viscid hornet]

do you mean these? <t:1234567890:R>

[merry cliff]

Yup!

[mighty terrace]

okay thanks

any other suggestion for some othr information or something?

[viscid hornet]

thats what i meant lmao 😭

[viscid hornet]

did you check the docs for all Member attributes?

[merry cliff]

Perhaps add the user ID

And have a distinction between display name and username

[viscid hornet]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member

take a look at the attributes column and let me know what you think

[mighty terrace]

i found something that may be interesting, first the latency and maybe guilds or voice clients

i have to take a look what information these attributes exactly get

[viscid hornet]

good practice. lmk what list of stuff you end up adding

[mighty terrace]

thanks, ill continue tomorrow im gonna send it than

[mighty terrace]

i was trying to separate the username and the display name the whole time but somehow it always just gives me the display mame

[viscid hornet]

theres .name and .display_name for a reason btw

[mighty terrace]

yeah i know but both give me the same somehow

i tried different variations using userid, getting the user by guild but both attributes always return the same back

[viscid hornet]

probably because the user doesnt have a nickname

[mighty terrace]

you can show the nickname by the nick attribute but every user has 2 names the username and the display name and i tried using me as user, my username is ChickenNuggget and my displayname is martin04lel but both .name and . display_name return only martin04lel

[viscid hornet]

accidental markup

[mighty terrace]

ooh okay that makes sense

thanks

[viscid hornet]

thats because /nick without a new nickname input will reset your nickname

[mighty terrace]

I think ill make value that only is shown when the .display_name != .name so if the user has a nickname it will show but if he doesn't than it will skip

[pale zenith]

What discord.py version do you have?

[mighty terrace]

i have to check tomorrow i already turned off my pc

[pale zenith]

Ok. Well in any case please update discord.py with pip install -U discord.py because that's probably the reason it isn't working

[mighty terrace]

okay thanks

[viscid hornet]

you can pip install it? how come the faq section or wherever in dpy tells you to use git+link then?

[wanton current]

This is the latest stable release on pypi, installing from GitHub is usually done to get the latest non-stable / released version

[viscid hornet]

what does the -U bit mean?

[pale zenith]

upgrade

[viscid hornet]

leo quick question: how do emoji hierarchies work?

yk in recent emojis it shows emotes you’ve used, well, recently

how does it sort this information?

and why top to bottom instead of left to right for the order

[wanton current]

Well, you just store the time when you use that emoji and then put the one with the closest time first (sorting by the timestamp)

[viscid hornet]

but say for iOS, if i accidentally press an emoji it doesnt immediately take the top spot?

[slate swan]

what should i use for making buttons?

rather than a emoji reaction

is discord_components outdated?/

im on py 3.11.0

[hushed galleon]

yes, discord-components was yanked from pypi, presumably because discord.py 2.0 added native support for components
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#bot-ui-kit
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/v2.3.2/examples/views ```py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(label="Hello world!")
async def my_button(self, interaction, button):
await interaction.response.send_message("Hello world!")

view = MyView()
await ctx.send(..., view=view)```

[slate swan]

ohh

[viscid hornet]

a view?

yeah what they already said

[robust fulcrum]

|| I prefer disnake though || was just asking is hikari better than disnake

[viscid hornet]

tbh idk what hikari is

and i’ve heard its better to recommend the original over rewrites because they might have missed some important safety features or whatever during the rewrite

[robust fulcrum]

Disnake has all features of discord.py ig

[hushed galleon]

its hard to assess the qualities of each fork by yourself without having used them for some time and/or pruning through their source code, but i would recommend dpy because it's still a popular library so plenty of people can help - i think disnake has better official documentation in terms of guides, at least for now

hikari's a massively different library that i believe covers more of discord's API, like interactions-over-HTTP and OAuth2

[slate swan]

not getting any errors, interaction fails. i checked to make sure the event is being triggered and it is but im not sure what is wrong with it

[viscid hornet]

show code 🗣

i’m seeing too many people showing an issue and not their code

[slate swan]

sorry im good at doing that

🤣

will do in a min if i keep having problems gonna see if i can fix it like a big boy

[viscid hornet]

he’s learning

[slate swan]

[drifting arrow]

Don’t learn to fast @slate swan I get a lot of my knowledge from random questions people ask

Like the other day I learnt about grouping of@commands

[quaint obsidian]

Hello

[blazing beacon]

    @commands.Cog.listener('on_message')
    async def listen_for_shh():
        msg = None
        if db.read(pass_through=True)[msg.author.id]:
            return await msg.delete()

Traceback (most recent call last):

    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: ModerationCommands.listen_for_shh() takes 0 positional arguments but 2 were given

i tried to debug it thats why it looks stupid

😭

[slate swan]

on_message listener takes message argument and since this is in a class you need self too

[blazing beacon]

ohh

thank you

[low finch]

Does anyone know discord bots which create leaderboards with external data? A raid2earn type thing. I want to track users twitter activity and make a leaderboard out of it.

[viscid hornet]

use the twitter API and gather details like likes, tweets, retweets, etc and then use sorted() on that list

[viscid hornet]

i suggest maybe a nested dict like this:
{
“user_name”: {
“likes”: …
“retweets”: …,
…
}
}

and then a sorted() key like this:

lambda d: data[d][category]

because there are multiple categories you can sort by.
(idk if that lambda will work tho)

[low finch]

Okay thank u how would i display this as a leaderboard within my discord server tho

[viscid hornet]

i’d say do this:

1. make a paginator (a thing that lets you go between pages with buttons)
2. add a select menu for either likes, retweets, tweets, etc, accompanied by custom emojis (remember your bot basically has nitro)
3. retrieve all the data and display it in a list (10 per page for 5 pages)

that way you can flick between categories and flick between pages

[open sail]

how can I access the client.user.id out of the on_message()? beside passing as a parameter
I always get NoneType......

[viscid hornet]

by client.user.id i’m guessing that’s referring to “client = discord.Client(…) / commands.Bot(…)”

[open sail]

yes something like that

[viscid hornet]

and in that case, just put client.user.id lmao

[open sail]

I just got NoneType....

[viscid hornet]

its already a variable in your code, you dont need to pass anything

[open sail]

I tried to global it

[viscid hornet]

show me your code and where it’s defined

[open sail]

and I just couldn't get it

[viscid hornet]

never use globals. they fuck up your code

[open sail]

can you wait for me around 20 min

will you still be online?

I am on a car, and only with my iPad.

[viscid hornet]

uh sure

[viscid hornet]

[open sail]

wait I just thought that I can remote my code through my discord bot lol

so I defined it here, and..

I was trying to get the client.user.id here

[viscid hornet]

also heads up: just use Intents.all() and probably better to use commands.Bot than discord.Client()

[open sail]

IDK why there isn't highlighting on iPad or phones....

[open sail]

I see

[viscid hornet]

yeah that should work

i dont see why it wouldnt

[open sail]

will this affect my issue?

[viscid hornet]

tell it to print “client.user.id”

[viscid hornet]

no but its definitely good to do. probably make those changes after tho

[low finch]

Check dm 🙂

[open sail]

it says. NoneType

and there isn't the attribute 'id'

[viscid hornet]

thats strange

[open sail]

very strange

[viscid hornet]

switch it to commands.Bot

[open sail]

I was frustrated about it

[viscid hornet]

i’ll check docs tho brb

[open sail]

Okay I do that when I got home

I'll ping you after I change it

[viscid hornet]

this might be your issue btw

[open sail]

ummmmm not logged in?

cuz when I print it under on_message() it works

[viscid hornet]

so it correctly returns the client user id in the on_message()?

[open sail]

yes also on_ready()

[viscid hornet]

thats because the client logs in and THEN calls on_ready()

so before it logs in, and therefore before on_ready() is called, it returns None

[open sail]

but I call the clear_msgs function on other files which is after it is logged in

[viscid hornet]

and what happens then?

[open sail]

nonetype😭

[viscid hornet]

wait, how are you getting this NoneType?

[open sail]

well it doesn't have the attribute ID, but there is client.client

[viscid hornet]

are you printing it?

[open sail]

IDK

[open sail]

yes

[viscid hornet]

show the console output

[viscid hornet]

what are you printing and where

[open sail]

I'll take a screenshot when I get home

[open sail]

printing in the beginning of clear_msgs

[viscid hornet]

hm thats weird

but does it correctly delete the messages from the person and the bot?

[open sail]

only the person

couldn't delete the bot message through other files

but I can delete the bot message if I call the clear_msgs under on_message

without passing the client parameter

which is soon strange

[viscid hornet]

wdym by other files?

[open sail]

cuz I have a lot files to organize my commands

[viscid hornet]

ah so cogs

(extensions are the files themselves)

try swapping Client for Bot and lmk what happens

[open sail]

okay

[open sail]

I didn't use cogs though....

[viscid hornet]

[open sail]

actually I only use on_message

[viscid hornet]

show me the code of the other files rq

!code use pastebin link at bottom

[fathom tree]

thanks

[odd sundial]

thanks

[odd sundial]

can the value be a category id or does it need to be something line 1/2/3?

[pale zenith]

I think it's fine if it is a category ID.

Not sure if when use Choice[int] it works, you may need to use IDs as strings. Can't remember the specifics

[odd sundial]

IDs are numbers though so shouldn't need strings

if so could just change it to Choice[str]

[odd sundial]

well

slight issue

[pale zenith]

App command integers are bound to the JavaScript integer limit.

if I recall correctly, discord snowflakes are larger

[odd sundial]

yeah, well the values can be kept to 1/2/3 i just did this in my if statement for each value:
category_channel = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.categories, id=id)

[pale zenith]

Yeah makes sense

[quaint obsidian]

Hello. I have a cog with this command:

@app_commands.checks.has_permissions(administrator=True)
@app_commands.command(name="blacklist")
@app_commands.describe(words=configManager.getBlacklistWordsArg())
async def blacklist(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, words: str):
    ....

but when I type / in chat I don't see that command.

[viscid hornet]

have you synced your command tree?

[quaint obsidian]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    for loc in FindAll("cogs"):
        await bot.load_extension(name=loc)
    synced = await bot.tree.sync()
    print(f"Synced {len(synced)} commands")
    print('Bot:', bot.user.name)

It says 5 commands, but I can use 2

[viscid hornet]

dont sync on on_ready()

sync in an external command

[quaint obsidian]

I did before, but it never showed a message that they were synced.

@bot.command(name="sync")
async def sync(ctx):
    synced = await bot.tree.sync()
    print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s).")

[viscid hornet]

a message where?

[quaint obsidian]

In my terminal. The print didn't execute.

[odd sundial]

client.run(token) should be always at the end of your code then it will

[quaint obsidian]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    for loc in FindAll("cogs"):
        await bot.load_extension(name=loc)
    synced = await bot.tree.sync()
    print(f"Synced {len(synced)} commands")
    print('Bot:', bot.user.name)

@bot.command(name="sync")
async def sync(ctx):
    synced = await bot.tree.sync()
    print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s).")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    token = configManager.getBotToken()
    if token is None or len(token.replace(" ", "")) == 0:
        print("You need \"discord_bot_token\" in the config.json to be a valid token")
        exit()


    bot.run(token)

[viscid hornet]

how many commands do you have?

[quaint obsidian]

5

But it shows that I can use only 2

[gray jacinth]

    @app_commands.checks.cooldown(1, 3600, key=lambda i: (i.guild_id, i.user.id))
    async def vote_add(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
        if await is_user_mod(member):
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"{member.display_name} is already a mod.", delete_after=RESPONSE_LIFETIME, ephemeral=True)
            return```

[gray jacinth]

Anyone know how I can make discord.Member only show users in a specific role?

[viscid hornet]

use an autocomplete

[quaint obsidian]

I think you can all the members with that role from discord.Role

[gray jacinth]

Autocomplete cant take an array of objects

[viscid hornet]

try refreshing your discord client and lose the sync in on_ready()

[gray jacinth]

That returns only the role

[viscid hornet]

just check if the users have the role in the autocomplete?

why would it be being given an array

[gray jacinth]

Since users are an object, and autocomplete can only take str or int?

or am I mistaken?

[viscid hornet]

you might be tbh

[viscid hornet]

thats for typing them in. you can try to match the input to a username and then display their mention instead of usernames

you cant really type a discord.Role can you?

[quaint obsidian]

But

@bot.command()
async def sync(ctx):
    synced = await bot.tree.sync()
    print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s).")

is not executed. Idk why.

[viscid hornet]

you probably want discord.utils.get() for this

[viscid hornet]

change it to ctx.send()

that makes more sense i’d say

did you refresh your discord?

[viscid hornet]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.utils.get

[viscid hornet]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.autocomplete

[quaint obsidian]

My friend. I used a wrong config for the prefix and then I wonder why it is not working. Everythings works nows. Thx.

[viscid hornet]

its alr, it happens

[slate swan]

anyone have any experiance making bots for rainbow 6 siege

[mighty terrace]

here the updated version.. opinion?

the embed color is the color of the member by its role on the current server

[viscid hornet]

make them role pings

not role names

BRO

lose the everyone role bc everyone has it so its not important info

besides that its pretty good

[mighty terrace]

yeah ur right thanks

[hollow turtle]

Really don't get what im doing wrong

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JDDQ

that's the code

the bot is in the server, and online, the command doesn't work though

i omitted the token line on purpose

[hushed galleon]

i think you have an extra t at the end of your url

[hollow turtle]

damn true nice catch

[hushed galleon]

are you using discord.py 2.0?

[hollow turtle]

i am not sure tbh

is there a way to check that

[hushed galleon]

if you did pip install discord.py then you likely have 2.3.2, but you can dopip show discord.py to check

[hollow turtle]

alright yep it says 2.3.2 you right

[hushed galleon]

assuming thats the case, you need to enable message content in order to receive the content in most cases
see also: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Intents.message_content

[hollow turtle]

that's exactly the error i get but i already enabled it on the dev portal

is there a command im missing or

[hushed galleon]

your code needs to enable it too, i.e. py intents = discord.Intents.default() intents.message_content = True

[hollow turtle]

Ayyyy

awesome

thank you so much

that was really helpful really quick

i appreciate your time

[civic reef]

can anyone help me here? https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1227712618156785710

[civic reef]

doubt resolved

thanks

[slate swan]

I need help with adding error handling for app_commands

[remote reef]

Basically, Im making a discord server that handles A LOT Of files, can anyone code a bot that will scan them for malware automatically?

[viscid hornet]

why not just Intents.all()?

[viscid hornet]

use cog_app_command_error

takes ctx and error i believe

[hushed galleon]

doesnt look like they need presences or members right now, it'd be unnecessary bandwidth usage

[viscid hornet]

we’ll help you make one, but we wont do it for you

[hushed galleon]

though i guess the convenience of recommending it is fair

[viscid hornet]

oh fr? i always start my code with .all() intents enabled

is it like a negligible amount of bandwidth?

[hushed galleon]

i guess that depends on how many guilds the bot is in too

iirc caching members and presences usually takes up majority of a bot's ram usage

[viscid hornet]

i only have mine in like 3 max and about <30

[slate swan]

@viscid hornet im having this problem now

unable to load extension misc - Extension 'cogs.misc' raised an error: TypeError: Commands or listeners must not start with cog_ or bot_ (in method Misc.cog_app_command_error)

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        file = os.path.basename(__file__).capitalize()
        sprint(f"{file}: Ready", True)

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def cog_app_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.errors.CheckFailure):
            return```

[hushed galleon]

hmm actually those points don't matter much for a small bot, so i guess my main reason to suggest .message_content = True is because that solution is more explicit than suggesting .all(), and therefore a bit easier to understand

[viscid hornet]

why is that a listener?

its a function

[slate swan]

oh

[viscid hornet]

more readable and therefore more understandable. got it

[slate swan]

where am i suppsoed to put it?

[viscid hornet]

just there?

[slate swan]

where do i put it

in my main or my cog?

wait i see now

ty i fixed it

anyone know a fix to get discord_slash module to work keeps saying not found been messing with this for a bit

quick thing @viscid hornet how do i make it globally

[hushed galleon]

discord_slash was discontinued and superseded by discord.py 2.0's native support for slash commands, so i wouldn't recommend continuing to use it

[slate swan]

ah ok thx

[hushed galleon]

here's a third party guide, examples, and the API reference:
https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2023/01/30/app-command-basics.html
https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2023/01/30/app-command-examples.html
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#decorators

though if you're interested in discord_slash's successor, the maintainer made interactions.py which works completely differently from discord.py

[viscid hornet]

how do you make what globally?

[slate swan]

cog_app_command_error

[viscid hornet]

hmm i’ll find out

[viscid hornet]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error

use this

[slate swan]

okay thanks

[viscid hornet]

lmk if anything goes wrong

[slate swan]

Ye

[drifting arrow]

would it be possible to do grouping of groups in commands?

So right now if you want to group commands you do

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
    
    poll = app_commands.Group(name='poll', description='polls for polls and polling')

    @poll.command(name='create', description='Create a poll')
    async def create(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, question:str, option_one:str, option_two:str):
      await interaction.response.send_message("Results go here.", ephemeral=True)
    
    @poll.command(name='info', description='Info on a poll')
    async def info(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, poll_id:int):
      await interaction.response.send_message("Results go here.", ephemeral=True)
``` I was thinking, would it be possible to create even further sub groups? 🤔

turns out you can :D

[cloud dawn]

Yeah it's a great feature! Do keep in mind every command still counts towards the max commands allowed.

[slate swan]

guys this isnt rlly about discord in general but i thought maybe some people in here might now how i could add the chromedriver to pythonanywhere hosting

[prime steeple]

is there a way to take a string, and convert all mentions to names?
EXAMPLE```
@Osyra sees @Vanity
should be
osyra42 sees vanity_bot

[slate swan]

I GOT IT WORKING 💯

didnt callback right

[golden portal]

!d discord.ext.commands.clean_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.clean\_content

class discord.ext.commands.clean_content(*, fix_channel_mentions=False, use_nicknames=True, escape_markdown=False, remove_markdown=False)```
Converts the argument to mention scrubbed version of said content.

This behaves similarly to [`clean_content`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message.clean_content).

[prime steeple]

is this possible in a non command I need to clean a string

[golden portal]

you can't do commands.clean_content().convert(ctx, textt)?

do you not have context available

[prime steeple]

no, self.bot and message

[golden portal]

so only self.bot and message?

[prime steeple]

yes

[golden portal]

if its just the content of that message, its message.clean_content

[prime steeple]

I think this is not going to work for my situation

this is my string

!paste

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.

[prime steeple]

under conversation can't be mentions, only names

conversation comes from here

async def check_reply(message, length=10) -> None | list[dict]:
    if length == 0 or message is None:
        return []
    previous_message = None
    if message.reference:
        if message.reference.cached_message:
            previous_message = message.reference.cached_message
        else:
            previous_message = await message.channel.fetch_message(message.reference.message_id)

        if previous_message.content.startswith("@muted comet"):
            previous_message_content = previous_message.content.split(None, 1)[1]
        else:
            previous_message_content = previous_message.content
    if previous_message:
        return [{"author": previous_message.author.name, "content": previous_message_content}] + \
            await check_reply(previous_message, length=length-1)
    else:
        return []

[pale zenith]

the best is https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.utils.escape_mentions but this wouldn't convert them to names unfortunately

[prime steeple]

I think I will need to itterate each mention pattern, speed is not important at all, only function

[pale zenith]

you have a message no?

await commands.clean_content().convert(await bot.get_context(message), text)

[prime steeple]

this is for an ai discord bot that is reading chart history and I need to start remembering what users treat the bot inappropriately this needs to be somewhat accurate

mesage intent, not command

[pale zenith]

don't see how it would be inaccurate

[silent portal]

What does guild.invites() actually return? Does the elements of the list contain the "discorP.g/"? (sending it weird so message doesn't get deleted lol)
Or does it return the whole URL?

[glad cradle]

!d discord.Guild.invites

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.invites

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

Returns a list of all active instant invites from the guild.

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

[silent portal]

Thanks I already read the docs. But what I mean is the format of the invite

[glad cradle]

a list of Invite objects

you can access the code and build the url

!d discord.Invite.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Invite.url

property url```
A property that retrieves the invite URL.

[silent portal]

so code only returns what is after the .gg/ right?

[glad cradle]

lemme check from source

[silent portal]

I mean, there are a few ways of sending an invite. you can also use .com/invite and stuff

[glad cradle]

no it returns the full url

[silent portal]

.url does

but .code doesn't I think

[glad cradle]

yeah .url returns the full url, isn't that what you wants?

[glad cradle]

.code returns the thing after the .gg/

[silent portal]

So basically it's an anti spam, which should delete every server invite link to OTHER servers. So if a user creates a new invite for my server, it shouldn't be deleted.

And the .url thing returns it the "normal" way like .gg/ but what if they use .com/invite/...

So I think the best way would be by comparing the code, no?

[glad cradle]

you may want to use regex to do that

you want to delete messages that have a certain pattern

and to see if the invite is to your server you could check if its in your guild invites list

so yeah it's better to compare the code

[silent portal]

I was thinking of doing it this way

    invites = await bot.guild.invites().code
    channel = message.channel
    if invites:
        for invite_code in invites:
            if invite_code in content:
                await message.delete()

I'm getting the message content when I'm running this method. It has .lower

[glad cradle]

this snippet shouldn't compiled

guild.invites return a list of objects

[silent portal]

ohh yh I see

[glad cradle]

invites = [invite.code for invite in await message.guild.invites()]

also Bot doesn't have a guild attribute

you can access the guild object from the Message object

[silent portal]

I have made an variable for that

[glad cradle]

oh, ok

[silent portal]

I‘ll try that rq

[snow elbow]

!eval ```python
for i in range(1,11):
print(f"{5} X {i} = {5*i}"

dont take any argument besides the interaction or context

quick question how to make discord bots share a random message from your server as notification

[quick gust]

could u elaborate

[ivory ledge]

i have a server and i want to see few notifications mentioning me coming from my server
in form of reminder
i think if there is any discord bot is available that can share a certain type of message daily from discord server data ie images text etc
hope i m being understoood'
like a quiz u can say

Hello, is there any way to check if a message has a poll, the new polls feature, or to check the content of the poll because message.content returns nothing for a message with a poll
I'm wondering if there's any way to moderate them

[urban hound]

do you guys know about the new user_installable commands of discord?

is there a way to setup those using discord.py? i searched the docs

couldnt find any

[sick birch]

i don't believe it has support yet

however it is in the works, so just give it a bit

[urban hound]

i see, i thought discord.py will supports it right after release cuz discord.py is an official library

[sick birch]

it's not official

[urban hound]

oh, i didnt know that

well

makes sense now

[slate swan]

Example of a potential action, replace with your actual function calls

Does anyone have a good example of an anti-spam bot?
spam meaning the hacked clients who spam the invite links and such...
I want my bot to add a role to them if it was a detected spam account.

I know there's automod, but having the option for bots is better :>

In Python of course :>>

[shrewd apex]

check for invite links i suppose? in on_message
https://github.com/Rapptz/RoboDanny has some good mod examples for reference

[dusk shadow]

not a bad idea...
ill look into that, thanks!

[dusk shadow]

sorry to ping you again, which file would include the examples?

[untold bear]

idk abt an example but imo one thing you could do is append any invite link sent in ur server to a dictionary like {inv_link:1} and everytime it is sent again add +1 to the value, but at the same time reduce 1 from the value every 10sec or so. if the value exceeds something like 3, then assign your given role to that member

[shrewd apex]

ahhh oki, thanks yall

!d discord.Member

ok, so being smooth brain right now... but im getting this error
trying to make sence of this, and im new to coding, so lmk whats going wrong here...

TypeError: on_message() missing 1 required positional argument: 'user'

@client.event
async def on_message(ctx: discord.Interaction, user: discord.Member):
    custom_terms = ["discord.gg"]
    role = discord.utils.get(discord.Guild.roles, name="muted")

    if any(term in discord.Message.content() for term in custom_terms):

        await ctx.response.send_message("Your message was deleted due to spam-terms.", ephemeral=True)
        await user.add_roles(role, reason="Suspected spammer")

[golden portal]

on_message will only get message object regardless, you can't simply add new argument and expect the library to give it to you, it's a message event

i dont understand what you're trying to do here, is that suppose to be a command?

[dusk shadow]

^

[golden portal]

you can get the author of the message through Message.author

[dusk shadow]

so, discord.Member.author?

[golden portal]

and discord.Message is a class, you're suppose to use the instance, which is ctx you defined there

so ctx.author

should just rename that to message since its confusing

[dusk shadow]

anyone else want to take a crack at it?

[dusk shadow]

cause, what they said gives more errors. :>

[dusk shadow]

TypeError: 'property' object is not iterable

[golden portal]

typehinting to Interaction wont change it to interaction either, it's a message event, it gives you Message object

[hushed galleon]

also most of the time you can't access any data from a class like discord.Guild and discord.Message, you need an instance of those classes to do anything useful with them

dpy calls your on_message event with an instance of Message, so from that you can get its content and do whatever else, e.g. py @client.event async def on_message(message: discord.Message): if message.content == "Hello world!": await message.channel.send("Hello to you!") await message.delete()

[golden portal]

flatten was removed, now all you have to do is a list comp, ```py
messages = [message async for message in ctx.history(limit=10)]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[golden portal]

if you're talking about dpy, it hasn't been merged yet (in development)
see PR
but when it does, it is gonna be Message.poll based on this file

[unkempt canyon]

discord/message.py line 1701

self.poll: Optional[Poll] = Poll._from_data(poll, self, state) if poll else None```

[golden portal]

balls

[dusk shadow]

yeaa, uhhh. thats not working at all.. :/

tried this, and nothing. basically just modfied from what you sent

@client.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
    if message.content == "discord.gg":
      await message.delete()
      await message.channel.send("Your message was deleted due to a spam filter.", ephemeral=True)

unless im not doing something right... :'<

[naive briar]

You're checking if the message content is exactly discord.gg and nothing else

Is that intentional?

[dusk shadow]

uhhh huhhh... i even ran the same code they gave me and nothing happend.

bot has access to the channels too, so its not that

[naive briar]

Did you enable the message_content intent?

[dusk shadow]

ive had the bot running for months.
on normal prefix commands and slash.
they are. :/
its not a simple solution as far as i know.
and i dont understand WHY its not simple code like in the snippit.

i think im done here...
idk why everyone gives me the run around here unlike a few of my friends that know what their doing... sorry but im outta here

unable to load extension fortnite - Extension 'cogs.test' raised an error: TypeError: autocomplete callback 'Test.color_autocomplete' requires either 2 or 3 parameters to be passed

[naive briar]

For the autocomplete callback also

[slate swan]

oh okay

i got it to work ty

[naive briar]

🐈

[slate swan]

@naive briar for some reason i put my autocomplete to something like this

    async def offer_autocomplete(
        self,
        interaction: discord.Interaction,
        current: str,
    ) -> List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:

        data = []
        return [
            app_commands.Choice(name=item['displayName'], value=item['displayName'])
            for item in shopdata['shop']
            if current.lower() in item['displayName'].lower()
        ]```

and when i use it, it doesnt show the whole list it only shows if i type something close to it, is there like a limit that it shows?

[naive briar]

Isn't that how you designed it to be? You're returning only the items that have the content of current in their displayName

Or am I misunderstanding something

[slate swan]

oh im trying to make it show all of it

from shopdata

[naive briar]

If shopdata['shop'] is a list, then you can just return it

[slate swan]

now how would i do that

something like this?

async def offer_autocomplete(
    self,
    interaction: discord.Interaction,
    current: str,
) -> List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
    shopdata = read_json('shop')
    return [
        app_commands.Choice(name=item['displayName'], value=item['displayName'])
        for item in shopdata['shop']
        if current.lower() in item['displayName'].lower()
    ]

[naive briar]

🤷

return shopdata['shop']

[slate swan]

is this supposed to happen?

[naive briar]

What's the code now?

[slate swan]

    async def offer_autocomplete(
        self,
        interaction: discord.Interaction,
        current: str,
    ) -> List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
        shopdata = read_json('shop')
        return shopdata['shop']```

[naive briar]

Ah, right right

Forgot about that

You need to put the items into choice instances

[naive briar]

So you can just revert to this code and remove the checks

[slate swan]

wait what checks in it

the if?

[naive briar]

Yes

[slate swan]

ok

still this

[naive briar]

Code?

[slate swan]

    async def offer_autocomplete(
        self,
        interaction: discord.Interaction,
        current: str,
    ) -> List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
        shopdata = read_json('shop')
        return [
            app_commands.Choice(name=item['displayName'], value=item['displayName'])
            for item in shopdata['shop']
        ]```

[naive briar]

Huh

Seems fine to me

[slate swan]

is there like a limit on choices?

[naive briar]

Oh yeah, 25

[slate swan]

oh prob thats why

hm anything i can put to show 25 from the shopdata

nvm i got it to show 25 at first

but thanks for the help

oh and @naive briar one more thing

is it possible to have a space between a app_command

like /test test or does it always got to be /test-test

[naive briar]

Yes, but you'd have to create groups for that

[slate swan]

any examples you can link me to so i can see for my self?

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.contact' raised an error: TypeError: choices must be a list of Choice

why is this happening?

[golden portal]

it takes a list not a method, perhaps you may want to use autocomplete instead?

!d discord.app_commands.autocomplete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.autocomplete

@discord.app_commands.autocomplete(**parameters)```
Associates the given parameters with the given autocomplete callback.

Autocomplete is only supported on types that have [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int), or [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float) values.

[`Checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check) are supported, however they must be attached to the autocomplete callback in order to work. Checks attached to the command are ignored when invoking the autocomplete callback.

For more information, see the [`Command.autocomplete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command.autocomplete) documentation.

Warning

The choices returned from this coroutine are suggestions. The user may ignore them and input their own value...

[golden portal]

see example there

[tulip ice]

i loooked at that but i dont see how i can use self.bot.tree.walk_commands()

i want to let the user have a list of the commands that they can select

but idk how that can work, i tried function but i need self to access bot

[golden portal]

you have access to your bot via interaction

!d discord.Interaction.client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.client

property client```
The client that is handling this interaction.

Note that [`AutoShardedClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AutoShardedClient), [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot), and [`AutoShardedBot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot) are all subclasses of client.

[naive briar]

You have access to self in the autocomplete callback

[tulip ice]

really?

[naive briar]

Just define it in the cog

[tulip ice]

can you enter anything into autocomplete? i want it so the user can only select from the list and not enter a rnadom string

[naive briar]

That's called options
