You colonizer 🗣️

[latent pier]

That was for Ray don't mind it

[viscid hornet]

yeah mate my computer can vote 😭🙏🏽

[latent pier]

[mild token]

its alright lol no worries : )

you guys enjoy : ))

[viscid hornet]

you too 👋🏽

[wild coral]

hihi, im new here and i want to learn python but i dont know where to start. i taught myself LuaU (Roblox Studio) but i'm getting a bit bored of it and i wanna extend my knowledge. if anyone sees this message, how'd you learn python? maybe i could learn the way you did

[viscid hornet]

!res

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[wild coral]

ooo let me see

[viscid hornet]

i learnt mine in a shoddy way by learning it backwards

[wild coral]

wdym?

[viscid hornet]

well i wanted to get into coding by coding a discord bot since i used the platform quite frequently

but to learn a discord bot, you obviously have to know python

i didnt know python but i still carried on with the library

so the way you’re supposed to do it is:
learn python > learn the library > make a discord bot

i did:
make a discord bot > learn the library > learn python

[wild coral]

LMAO

was it slower the way you did it tho?

[slim bloom]

@viscid hornet you are the best for help

[viscid hornet]

eh sorta

it was terribly inefficient and i would definitely do it another way

use the resources page — its very useful

[wild coral]

gotcha, but yet, i don't know where to click on the resources page 😭 too many buttons

my stupid brain cant understand which button to click

[golden portal]

focus on fundamentals first, then OOP, then concurrency, those are big concepts you need to learn and discord.py uses heavily

[wild coral]

uhm

i don't understand😭

[golden portal]

see this part https://gist.github.com/scragly/095b5278a354d46e86f02d643fc3d64b#essentials
Primitive data types until Argument definitions would be python fundamentals
these are also helpful to learn the basics to intermediate https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

[wild coral]

what are python fundamentals though? i'm a complete beginner when it comes to python, sorry

[latent pier]

Inshort learn everything of basic Python upto OOP concept

[latent pier]

Any other language before?

[wild coral]

Yeah, Lua on RobloxStudio, that's it

[golden portal]

pretty much just the core of python, syntax, variables, control flow, etc

should be smooth sailing if you've already learnt other programming language

[wild coral]

so it's like the basics?

[golden portal]

yes

[wild coral]

gotcha

let me take a closer look

[latent pier]

Check the before you begin part from this page

[wild coral]

so those are the basics i should get to before learning discord.py?

[latent pier]

Yes

[wild coral]

okay i see

[latent pier]

More better you understand language more easier for you to work with library (dpy)

[upbeat otter]

Did I just read pycord

[wild coral]

dpy is short for discord.py i suppose?

[latent pier]

I didn't suggest library just gave them basic idea of what to learn before getting started

[latent pier]

Yes

[wild coral]

i see, i think i understand how to start now

so just learn the basics of python itself, then learn dpy

[latent pier]

Yes

[golden portal]

technically not just the basic, Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a huge concept, i wouldn't call those basic

[wild coral]

what is OOP?

[latent pier]

Object oriented programming

Classes
Inheritance
Etc

[latent pier]

OOP is something of intermediate level thing as per my opinion

Could be little overwhelming as a beginner but it's easy af once you understood everything properly

[slim bloom]

[wild coral]

i see

i believe the tutorial i'm using will cover OOP, but if not, i'll just either search it up or ask here again

[golden portal]

usually just ask in #1035199133436354600 for that

[viscid hornet]

im tryna do this but with js and im already lost - you got anything i can use for it?

[latent pier]

You learning JS?

Node?

[viscid hornet]

probably?

[golden portal]

Usually I just read https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/javascript/ it has similar syntax anyways, only difference is a few quarks js have

[viscid hornet]

idk i just booted up vscode, wrote a print(“hello world”) in js, cried when i found out about the syntax and then gave up

[wanton current]

js syntax aint even bad

[latent pier]

console.log("Hello world") you mean

[viscid hornet]

yes, a print(“hello world”) in js

as in using the js language

[viscid hornet]

ima have to stop you right there

[viscid hornet]

life saver

wtf do you mean equality is ===

[latent pier]

Ain't even that bad

[latent pier]

😭😭

Teach me after you understand

I accept you as my Sensei

[wanton current]

there's both == and === but this isnt the channel for it

[viscid hornet]

mf if it aint that bad you learn it 😭

[viscid hornet]

#ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval - ima be there

[golden portal]

similar to is and == in python

[latent pier]

That doesn't type check

=== means if type and value both are similar

[golden portal]

I see I guess I forgot about implicit cast js have

[latent pier]

Js seems confusing 😭

Wtf you mean NaN or undefined just give me None

[naive briar]

That's their equivalent

[wanton current]

wb null

[naive briar]

Ah, right

[mental idol]

when i try to turn the bot on it says errno 2 and ill looked it up and i get it sorted

cant get it sorted*

[viscid hornet]

need more details than that mate

[viscid hornet]

well there you go

[mental idol]

I have tried everything and cant get it working

!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]

!traceback - this is the most important

[unkempt canyon]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

[mental idol]

What do i type for that?

[viscid hornet]

wdym?

[mental idol]

What is that?

[viscid hornet]

a traceback?

[mental idol]

I just started learning, what is that?

[viscid hornet]

it tells you more about your error

[mental idol]

!traceback errno 2

[viscid hornet]

its an information embed

[slate swan]

axo

[viscid hornet]

send us whats in your terminal

also are you doing this? py try: ... except Exception as e: print(e)

[viscid hornet]

fuck you want now? 😭

[wanton current]

the file main.py doesn't exist

[mental idol]

its the name the file

its the name of the file*

[viscid hornet]

you're trying to run a file that doesnt exist in that directory

are you in vscode?

[slate swan]

[mental idol]

yeah

[viscid hornet]

use the play button at the top

you're in your user folder on the terminal

[mental idol]

thats what happens when i press play

[wanton current]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html#intents-are-now-required

check that out

[mental idol]

So that is what i need to put in?

intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

[wanton current]

are you using commands?

[mental idol]

the box is the bot token

[viscid hornet]

!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.

[wanton current]

then you need to add the message content intent like so:

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

bot =commands.Bot(intents=intents)

[viscid hornet]

discord.commands.Bot 😭

[mental idol]

So do i remove where it says @client.command() with this?

[wanton current]

wdym

[slate swan]

you are a discord.commands.Bot

[wanton current]

no, where you do client = commands.Bot

[mental idol]

alright

[viscid hornet]

no you are ray

[slate swan]

[wanton current]

ray skywalker

[mental idol]

like that?

[wanton current]

You still need to do bot.command() and bot.event accordingly.

[wanton current]

and also pass the command_prefix like here ^

Intents just tells Discord what additional information that you want to receive.

[viscid hornet]

@intents.command() is new - ive never seen that

[mental idol]

?

[wanton current]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents) and remove the bot = ... line

[viscid hornet]

|| (discord.commands.Bot also doesnt exist) ||

[mental idol]

bot = ... line? where is that?

[wanton current]

https://i.itswilliboy.com/VDpIcyxPcY.png _ _

[slate swan]

its because he has good intents

[mental idol]

oh

something happened

but the bot isnt online

[viscid hornet]

no fucking way you have your own pastebin image service

[viscid hornet]

he has good intent with his code

[blazing beacon]

sorry this might sound dumb, but you are running your bot with bot.run right

[slate swan]

but you have bad intents, you must be eliminated

[wanton current]

what if i do

[viscid hornet]

piss off

[viscid hornet]

frontend goes hard

[wanton current]

it used to be just "Hello, World! (now in rust)" in plain text

[viscid hornet]

fuck js man i forgot a semicolon

[blazing beacon]

how does it work, it seems annoying to have to paste it there all the time, so im assuming it just takes ur clipboard and sends it there right?

[mental idol]

what do yu mean? where my bot token is i am using client.run

[blazing beacon]

okay cool

[slate swan]

[wanton current]

it's uploaded instantly when i take a screenshot

[blazing beacon]

neat

[wanton current]

at least with a specific program

[blazing beacon]

gyat keeping?

[mental idol]

its said this then i think tons of error

[wanton current]

what are the errors?

[blazing beacon]

send the errors

[viscid hornet]

!traceback - show the terminal

[unkempt canyon]

[wanton current]

?

[viscid hornet]

hes a little silly

[wanton current]

my condolences

[blazing beacon]

your token is in that

[wanton current]

censors everything except token

[blazing beacon]

please do reset it asap

[mental idol]

done

[wanton current]

is that the entire error?

there should be more

[mental idol]

yeah on top of it says that

[wanton current]

that's fine

[mental idol]

nvm

[wanton current]

that's just info

[mental idol]

thats the rest

[viscid hornet]

enable your intents in the dev portal

also always send the full error, otherwise we cant help you

!code - and do it like this - very useful

oh wait one secon

the bot is online now

i enabled all the intents

[blazing beacon]

noice 👍

[crisp glacier]

[slim bloom]

[craggy anvil]

how do i code my shi to do like, for every token tht it says doesn't have default pfp it puts in newtokens.txt

[fast osprey]

What do you mean by token

[craggy anvil]

like my discord token but i have alot of alts, and i put tokens from all alts i got and it goes line by line in tokens.txt and it checks each token with discord public api and if avatar is default(i coded this part already) it should js continue to next token but if it's not default it pastes that token in newtokens.txt (didnt' code this idk how)

[fast osprey]

You should not be using user tokens in automation. That is very strictly against TOS

[craggy anvil]

what's api for then 🤣

[fast osprey]

For bots.

not user tokens

[craggy anvil]

i am not using in bad purposes it's my tokens all

then js lemme format my question better

[fast osprey]

Nobody cares if it's a "bad" purpose

this is against TOS

[craggy anvil]

how do i code my shi to do like, for every apple tht it says has worm inside of it it puts in newtokens.txt if doesn't have worm then it continues to next apple in apples.txt

[fast osprey]

So you're just trying to obscure the fact you're violating TOS

[craggy anvil]

nope

that's what i need to code

i am not aiming at tokens anymore i js wanna know how do i make code paste the value in .txt file in that directory

[fast osprey]

So in the last 2 minutes, you have decided you want to do the exact same thing but for an entirely different purpose

Disgustingly manipulative, we're not stupid

[craggy anvil]

no mate i am telling you, i didn't ask because of the part which is against tos, i didn't know it and i am sorry i wont do it but i still have more projects that have same thing to do to fill the .txt file but idk how to code it to put in txt file

[velvet compass]

dont print your exceptions

never print your exceptions

[latent pier]

What would he do?

Forward them on your mail?

[viscid hornet]

let them be raised of course

[latent pier]

Handling is better than raising?

[viscid hornet]

either that or py import traceback msg = traceback.format_exc() await ctx.send(f"'''py\n{msg}\n'''")

[viscid hornet]

theres a difference between handling and what hes doing

hes taking an exception and then doing nothing with it, other than stripping away literally everything to let him handle the exception manually

[latent pier]

yeah thats valid because at least the traceback is outputted somewhere

[vapid parcel]

What request can I do with OAuth2, to see what guilds my bot are in? This is for dashboard reasons.

[naive briar]

You can see what guilds your bot is in without it

[vapid parcel]

I am not using dpy

I am making a dashboard, aka not in python, which I would need to do OAuth2 to do it.

[shrewd apex]

you can check users guilds if you have the guild scope but if you want to see the bots guild you would need to use your bot token and hit the normal api endpoints

few other ways are probably running a webserver along with your discord bot with endpoints to do what you want

[vapid parcel]

well, I am trying to see if the bot is in the same guild as the guilds the user has on the dashboard, but if I use a database, it will make the dashboard slow. Which I tested. So I am trying to find a better way of doing it.

[shrewd apex]

dont use a db, make a similar end point on your bot side which gives the list of guilds etc and then fetch it using a get request

[vapid parcel]

How could I do that?

[shrewd apex]

spawn a webserver on your bot side

[vapid parcel]

Not really trying to do that tho.

[shrewd apex]

you would need a common data point

• one is a database (and db access shared between bot and dashboard)
• webserver on bot side or seperately using the bot token to get crucial bot info
• using the bot token in your website side to get the data

[vapid parcel]

Well, I will just do flask I guess..

[shrewd apex]

is it possible to have a discord option autocomplete based of on another

[pale zenith]

Yes, you can check the Interaction.namespace

[shrewd apex]

aight cool ty

[latent pier]

I want a converter which takes discord.Member or ctx.message.reference.author or both as a argument if both are present there

[viscid hornet]

.author is gonna be a discord.Member automatically. whats the converter for?

[latent pier]

to take it as a argument in a command 🗣️

!d discord.Message.reference

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reference

The message that this message references. This is only applicable to messages of type MessageType.pins_add, crossposted messages created by a followed channel integration, or message replies.

New in version 1.5.

[timber dragon]

Should be easy

What do you need help with?

[latent pier]

How so?

[timber dragon]

Ooh wait

[latent pier]

It should take either one of them or both if both are given and it should be a required argument not optional

[timber dragon]

That's not really possible since converters aren't called for optional args

Yeah you'll have to do it in the command

Maybe write a helper function for it

[latent pier]

@bot.command()
async def wave(ctx, to: discord.User = commands.parameter(default=lambda ctx: ctx.author)):
    await ctx.send(f'Hello {to.mention} 👋')

I found this example somewhere close to what i want

[timber dragon]

Oo I didn't think about that

Genius

[latent pier]

I can do

ctx.message.reference.author if ctx.message.reference else ...

[timber dragon]

I was thinking default=lambda ctx: ctx.message.reference and ctx.message.reference.resolved and ctx.message.reference.resolved.author

[latent pier]

What's resolved for?

[timber dragon]

MessageReference doesn't have an author attr

You need to get it from the message

.resolved returns the message if in cache

Edit: Correction, the api optionally returns it
MessageReference.cached_message is from dpy

[latent pier]

Wait a minute

Yeah understood

How about we change it and remove default?

Like for example

[latent pier]

.user id @lament depot

It should respond with yours and @lament depot's id

[timber dragon]

Get the replied message from ctx.message.reference... in the command

[latent pier]

I tried 🤣
But the only problem is if i don't pass user with command it'll throw missing argument callback

[timber dragon]

Make it optional then

[latent pier]

And if i put it to optional and there's no message reference, there's no way i can raise missing argument

[timber dragon]

member: discord.Member | None = None

Correct

You can send a message from the command instead

[latent pier]

Yeah i guess that's the last option

[timber dragon]

Any reason you don't want the default thing?

[latent pier]

It'll redirect to default when argument is not passed, right?

[timber dragon]

Yes

[latent pier]

Yeah I think i should use this

There's these too btw

@bot.command()
async def bar(ctx, cool_value: SomeType = commands.parameter(converter=MyVeryCoolConverter)):
    cool_value.foo  # no error (hurray)

class SomeType:
    foo: int

class MyVeryCoolConverter(commands.Converter[SomeType]):
    ...  # implementation left as an exercise for the reader

@bot.command()
async def bar(ctx, cool_value: MyVeryCoolConverter):
    cool_value.foo  # type checker warns MyVeryCoolConverter has no value foo (uh-oh)

[timber dragon]

You can use typing.Annotated there

arg: Annotated[SomeType, MyConverter]

But using param for it is completely fine too

[latent pier]

Ahh

Got it I'm gonna go try something

[mental idol]

why is there a red line under the bracket? iv closed the bracket on the other side

[shrewd apex]

ctx, error

also its isinstance

[mental idol]

alright thanks

it says invalid permissions

[drifting arrow]

Is there a way to log every time a command is used without having to do it manually for each command?

[shrewd apex]

what type of commands afaik there are stuff like before_invoke for message commands and a global interaction_check for slash commands

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.interaction_check

[mental idol]

how do i give the bot perm to kick?

i have given the bot administer but it still isnt working

[shrewd apex]

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

on_interaction too

[shrewd apex]

its kick_members not kick_member

[mental idol]

k

that bit?

[shrewd apex]

yes

[mental idol]

alright

the bot is working now

thanks

[drifting arrow]

Slash commands.

[shrewd apex]

then either of the ones i sent above

[drifting arrow]

Ty

[mental idol]

What is wrong with this code? cos there is a error and i cant find it

[naive briar]

What's the error then?

[shrewd apex]

nothing called avatar_url

[naive briar]

Ah, right

Too lazy to look seriously

[shrewd apex]

mhm they should state the traceback 💀

[mental idol]

whats a traceback

[shrewd apex]

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

i just removed url and its working

[shrewd apex]

its ctx.author.display_avatar

[latent pier]

both works

[shrewd apex]

avatar_url?

[latent pier]

that i doubt

[shrewd apex]

isnt that depreceated now?

[latent pier]

.avatar would work

.avatar.url

[shrewd apex]

yeah .avatar works but u would have None if there is no avatar

display_avatar would give u the default avatar in this case

[latent pier]

Yeah

[latent pier]

Right

.avatar
.display_avatar
.default_avatar

[timber dragon]

.display_avatar = guild_avatar or .avatar or .default_avatar

[timber dragon]

may want to google the meaning of "deprecated" in software

[mental idol]

how can i fix this? the brackets are red

it thinks the brackets werent closed but they are

[timber dragon]

check the code above

also hover over it, it will (sometimes) tell you exactly what's wrong

[mental idol]

that is what it says

[timber dragon]

ah then it's above

could send the full code if you want us to check

[timber dragon]

oh im blind lol

[mental idol]

alright

thanks there isnt any errors now

who wants tohelp code a discord bot

[vapid parcel]

Would it be possible to run flask in a cog..?

Don't know much abt flask, kinda why I am asking.

[eternal hound]

what you guys think

Social credit

[slim bloom]

social credit > +1000

[thin raft]

you should add an execute command that doesn't let you execute more commands and adds your family to an unfinishable debt

[eternal hound]

well

to truthfully confess

i made it with chat gpt

I KNOW

[blazing beacon]

for your punishment you shall be forced to write your next discord bot in rust

[eternal hound]

WHAT IS THAT??

i barely know the basics of python bro!

[blazing beacon]

mods cook him

[eternal hound]

a little of javascript and thats it

[vapid parcel]

So that cmd is not even connected to a db?

[eternal hound]

pls no

[vapid parcel]

Nuh uh

[vapid parcel]

Py

[eternal hound]

really?

[vapid parcel]

Yes

[eternal hound]

its not like a ancient programming language made back in the 80s or something?

[vapid parcel]

It's the easiest language out there...

[slim bloom]

@vapid parcel

[eternal hound]

i heard assembly is easy

[vapid parcel]

Hi

[slim bloom]

I have a question: how would I organize the cogs of my bot well?

[eternal hound]

HTML NO

i tried it hell nawh

[vapid parcel]

Hm, how are u loading them?

[vapid parcel]

No, show me how u load them?

Like the way u load them

[slim bloom]

async def load_cogs():
    for filename in os.listdir("src/cogs"):
        if filename.endswith(".py"):
            try:
                await bot.load_extension(f"src.cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
                print(Fore.LIGHTWHITE_EX + f"Cog valido: {filename[:-3]}")
            except Exception as e:
                print(Fore.LIGHTBLACK_EX + f"Cog error: {filename[:-3]}: {e}")```

[vapid parcel]

Also, cogs should have more than just 1 commands, recommend making cogs a category, not a section

[slim bloom]

ok thx

[vapid parcel]

These are my cogs currently in my test bot

[slim bloom]

spongebob

hahhaa

[eternal hound]

bacon bacon bacon bacon

[vapid parcel]

💀

[vapid parcel]

Also that's good. But, you could just make more folders to organize if you want and go a little deeper inside if you want.

But seems good. I have 24 cogs. Which seems a lot imo but some are handlers for other cogs because I don't wanna make my other cogs messy

[fast osprey]

Friendly reminder that ide regions and control F exist

[slim bloom]

[sick birch]

this is inappropriate, please don't post stuff like this

[slim bloom]

That trick is from Discord itself

Hey, is Interaction required for this function?

    async def autocomplete(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, current: str) -> List[Choice[str]]:
        
        #Checks if the players list is populated. If not, populate it!
        if not self.players:
            self.players = await self.db.get_all_users_list()
        
        #Populates the choices the user will be able to select from.
        if current:
            choicelist = []
            for player in self.players:
                if current.lower() in player.lower():
                    choicelist.append(player)
                if len(choicelist) > 20:
                    break
            return [Choice(name=c, value=c) for c in choicelist]
        else: #Tells the users to start typing!
            default = ["Start typing a players name (preferably their in game name)"]
            return [Choice(name=d, value=d) for d in default]

I'm using discord choices, and this function will update the options based on what you type.

and I am unsure if I even need Interaction at all

🤔 maybe I do.

hhmm..

oh well. I'll leave this here and maybe a smart person can give me a solution or explain

or something :D

[shrewd apex]

its a required parameter if you don't need it you can leave it unused

[drifting arrow]

Unused it shall be.

[cloud dawn]

I recommend index slicing the list to show max 25 items instead of breaking. Now it will still trigger the function but just not show anything, when slicing it, it won't go over the 25 limit and still show suggestions. Should still work been coding too much in js lol

[drifting arrow]

I like it the way it is tbh

It also works.

and unless your way is faster, it's fine how it is

Don't fuck with shit that already works, ya know?

[cloud dawn]

Yes indeed

[cyan slate]

Hey guys I am trying to make a gambling bot ( won't use irl money dw ) for my friends but I dont know how to import the code do I just run the python script and how do i get a discord bot token? Here is the code:

import discord
import random

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('Bot is ready')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return

if message.content.startswith('!gamble'):
    result = spin_slot_machine()
    await message.channel.send(result)

def spin_slot_machine():
symbols = ['diamond', 'dirt']
spin_result = [random.choice(symbols) for _ in range(3)]
payout = calculate_payout(spin_result)
return f'Spin result: {" - ".join(spin_result)}\nPayout: {payout}'

def calculate_payout(spin_result):
if spin_result == ['diamond', 'diamond', 'diamond']:
# Adjust the odds as per your requirement (1/100)
if random.randint(1, 100) == 1:
return 'Jackpot! 2x payout'
if spin_result.count('diamond') == 2 and spin_result.count('dirt') == 1:
return 'No win'
return 'No win'

client.run('YOUR_TOKEN_HERE')

[blissful crane]

You get the bot's token from the discord developers portal (https://discord.com/developers/applications)

And yes you just run the python script

[humble crow]

@shrewd apex Are you planning to release a video series for this guide?

[upbeat otter]

[shrewd apex]

that would be fun but i dont have that much free time lol

a ton of stuff to cover

[cloud dawn]

• the fact that videos are hard to keep up to date

[shrewd apex]

mhm

guides itself are easier to maintain lol

[fast osprey]

They're also just a superior format for information that isn't visual. You can't control f a video

And anything made by a single individual, no matter how good they are, is subject to their own biases or gaps of knowledge

[cloud dawn]

Yep, if you just want the code link a repo with a good readme for setup.

[vapid parcel]

It shows unloaded cogs if there is any but none were unloaded.

Hello, I have a problem. I wrote this function and it works well, but the problem is:
Reactions are obtained, meaning 4 reactions, after which the function stops for a few seconds and then continues, which extends the duration of the function. Do you have any solution or another way to reach the same goal?
This function is intended to obtain the number of messages that a specific person interacted with via ID

[vapid parcel]

Just classes. I could help u maybe

[hushed galleon]

doing some testing, the ratelimit for getting users of a reaction seems to be 5/5s per channel, so there's not much you can do about it

a more efficient option would be tracking reaction events for each user, but there's the risk of having inconsistent results if your bot goes down for a while

[final breach]

Can i export message data and make a loop out side?

[hushed galleon]

er, i dont think discord has any endpoint for that

[final breach]

Thx for your time

[hushed galleon]

you can certainly try to export a count of the reactions using the same endpoints (assuming it complies with developer policy and local laws), but ratelimits will still slow you down

[feral igloo]

This is pycord, when I submit the modal it comes up "Something went wrong"

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.add_item(discord.ui.TextInput(label="How old are you?", placeholder="Enter your age"))
        self.add_item(discord.ui.TextInput(label="Describe yourself", style=discord.TextStyle.long, placeholder="Tell us about yourself"))

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        age = self.children[0].value
        description = self.children[1].value

        user_avatar_url = str(interaction.user.avatar_url)

        embed2 = discord.Embed(title="User Information", color=discord.Color.blue())
        embed2.add_field(name="Age: ", value=age, inline=False)
        embed2.add_field(name="About you", value=description, inline=False)
        embed2.set_thumbnail(url=user_avatar_url)

        introductions = 1240752107846504549
        target_channel = bot.get_channel(introductions)
        await target_channel.send(embed=embed2)
        await interaction.response.send_message("Thank you for introducing yourself!", ephemeral=True)```

[wanton current]

any errors?

[shrewd apex]

is .avatar_url a thing in pycord?

other than that the channel might be None

u can override on_error for the modal and print out any exceptions to prevent it being surpressed

[vivid slate]

how can i add a chat filter into my discord bot

[feral igloo]

yeah

This is what I get, but visual studio gives no errors 😦

[shrewd apex]

add a on_error handler for ur modal

[patent hull]

make sure get_channel returns a value

or use instead Client|Bot.get_partial_messageable

so you don't rely on the cache if you only send a message to that channel

!tag intents

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[latent pier]

You can read this for a better understanding
https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/

[fast osprey]

Make sure to only enable the intents you need.

immediate next example uses Intents.all()

[wanton current]

"do as i say, not as i do" moment

[glad cradle]

@shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

hmm yeah iirc i was doing a bunch of examples which needed message content and members intents so i just reused some bits of code

hmm yeah that can be changed to just enable message_content

[shrewd apex]

if you are free for a while sometime could I request a proofread and suggestions on the guide better practices, stuff that can be improved etc. I would be glad to have new insights so i can improve on it

ty 🙏

[fast osprey]

Happy to offer thoughts. To be honest, us support folks in dpy have been burned time and time again by people making guides in isolation, then we have to pick up the pieces. We have a comprehensive user guide in the works but it's been delayed severely. This is the tradeoff between quality and getting many eyes on content vs velocity in getting it out

[shrewd apex]

aight cool feel free to dm me or ping me here regarding this 😄

[slim bloom]

code: ```py
banners = []
for guild in self.bot.guilds:
members = [member for member in guild.members if not member.bot]
banners.extend(members)

                        random_banner = random.choice(banners)
                        banner = await self.bot.fetch_user(random_banner.id)
                        banner_url = banner.banner.url```

[wanton current]

that's code

[slim bloom]

error: py Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'url'

[slim bloom]

?

[wanton current]

are you sure the user has a banner?

[slim bloom]

How could I make it only collect users with banners?

[wanton current]

check if they have a banner before adding them to the list

[slim bloom]

how

[wanton current]

Or you'd probably have to check when you fetch, nvm

[slim bloom]

ok :v

[twilit grotto]

check if its None, if its none dont add it

[wanton current]

You can only get banner information through fetching the user though docs

[twilit grotto]

ah shit

I haven't been keeping up with discord.py's development, so I'm not sure if it's got support yet

[lyric solar]

thank you

[lyric solar]

regular text channel

[lyric solar]

another question
why do my prefix commands get cancelled out if theres an on_message bot event?

[unkempt canyon]

The discord.py `on_message` event

Registering the on_message event with @bot.event will override the default behavior of the event. This may cause prefix commands to stop working, because they rely on the default on_message event handler.

Instead, use @bot.listen to add a listener. Listeners get added alongside the default on_message handler which allows you to have multiple handlers for the same event. This means prefix commands can still be invoked as usual. Here's an example:

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    ...  # do stuff here

# Or...

@bot.listen('on_message')
async def message_listener(message):
    ...  # do stuff here

You can also tell discord.py to process the message for commands as usual at the end of the on_message handler with bot.process_commands(). However, this method isn't recommended as it does not allow you to add multiple on_message handlers.

If your prefix commands are still not working, it may be because you haven't enabled the message_content intent. See /tag message_content for more info.

[lyric solar]

thank you!

[hushed galleon]

looks like Rapptz/discord.py#9760 got merged to the main branch a couple weeks ago so you dont need to install the PR anymore

[lament depot]

GitHub

[discord.py] #9760 First pass at supporting user apps

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.app_commands.user_install

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.user\_install

@discord.app_commands.user_install(func=None)```
A decorator that indicates this command should be installed for users.

This is **not** implemented as a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check), and is instead verified by Discord server side.

Due to a Discord limitation, this decorator does nothing in subcommands and is ignored.

Examples...

[fast osprey]

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

[lyric solar]

Oh?

what can i do with this

[fast osprey]

As a warning, things on the master branch and not on a stable release are NOT supported, and not considered stable. You will not get library support on them, and they are not guaranteed to not change before release

[lyric solar]

so i need the master branch discord

and not the stable build

oh wait you mean threads right?

[hushed galleon]

not sure of its exact usage because ive never bothered to try it, but afaik you would first enable user installs in the dashboard, mark commands with one of those decorators, sync them, and then users can authorize the app so only they can see those commands

nah threads are stable, user installs are not

[lyric solar]

already did

[lyric solar]

how do i get the version that support user installs 🥺

so i can just do this?

[hushed galleon]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

To install the development version, do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
$ cd discord.py
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]

or the oneliner, pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[lyric solar]

thank you

do i uninstall stable branch first

[hushed galleon]

pip already treats it as a different version of discord.py, so thats automatic

[lyric solar]

alright thanks

[lyric solar]

im ngl user installs dont work

am i doing it right 😭

[hushed galleon]

its a bit awkward that the docs shows func=None in the signature...

theres an example under it

[lyric solar]

oh

whoopsies

does this make the command only work in user installs or do they work in guilds too

oh wait this is cool lol

@app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True)

im guessing this would work? @hushed galleon

do i have to wait on discord to do some things so that its properly synced

cuz i dont see it in dms or private channels 😔

oh wait

[hushed galleon]

did you sync and reauthorize your app for yourself?

https://discord.com/developers/docs/tutorials/developing-a-user-installable-app#configuring-default-install-settings-adding-default-install-settings

[lyric solar]

yes

[lyric solar]

its super buggy and super weird

if i do this:
@app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True)
it'll only work in guilds, it ignores dms and private_channels
@app_commands.user_install()
if i do this
it'll obviously only work for people who tried it themself, aka the weird feature
if i try doing this
@app_commands.guild_install()
@app_commands.user_install()
only guild install would work

idk how to do both of them

i want it to work in dms, group chats and guilds

im gonna try @app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True)

ok update:
it works in every guild however not private channels or whatever

the current decorators that i have rn is

@app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True)
@app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True)

its insanely buggy for no reason 😔

[slate swan]

if I send an embed though a slash command, why would an imgur thumbnail not load? is that a permissions thing?

[upbeat otter]

no there shouldnt be an issue

[midnight oracle]

Try putting "?raw=true" at the end of the link, but there shouldn't be an issue, so this raw is not really necessary

[slate swan]

didn't fix it. could it be the format of the image? https://i.imgur.com/5BimDGn.png is one of the examples I'm testing. e.set_thumbnail(url="https://i.imgur.com/5BimDGn.png")

likie my other imgur embeds work, but this doesnt?

i have my images in a db, but i even tried hardcoding it to see if it's the method of the url or something

im guessing its the png format or something

[slate swan]

I am setting up my first discord bot and I want to keep my token secret. I checked the pinned messages and the link is broken, but I understand that I can save it to a .env file. Can someone link me further help on this issue?

Nevermind, I was able to reference this page on StackOverflow after lots of searching. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63530888/how-would-i-go-about-creating-an-env-file-for-my-discord-bot-token. I would still like to point out the pinned link in this channel for this information is still broken.

[upbeat otter]

which pinned link?

[slate swan]

Can anyone check and help if the code I wrote below is appropriate for the Discord.py library? I'm pretty new to this. I'm trying to understand how checks work so I can restrict a command to users with the staff role only.

def has_specific_role(role_id):
    async def predicate(ctx):
        member = ctx.guild.get_member(ctx.author.id)
        if member is not None:
            role = discord.utils.get(member.roles, id=role_id)
            return role is not None
        return False
    return commands.check(predicate)

@bot.tree.command(name="Hello", description="Say hello to the bot.")
@has_specific_role(role id here lmao)
async def slash_command(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hi there! I'm SERENA, nice to meet you!")

Please ping me!

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.has\_role

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

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

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

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

New in version 2.0...

[slate swan]

I read the docs and did my best to understand

[shrewd apex]

u can use that check directly in ur case

[slate swan]

ohhh okay thank you sm I will work on it rn!

[shrewd apex]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=has_role#discord.app_commands.check

[chilly cloud]

is it advised to use @command.has_permission(), or to check for their permissions in the code itself?

[shrewd apex]

this is for slash command check examples in docs

[slate swan]

I JUST SAW THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

[shrewd apex]

upto you u can use the decorator and then define an error handler

[slate swan]

it helps a TON!

[shrewd apex]

for check failures

that way if u have multiple commands behind a particular perm u dont need to check it in command code again and again

[chilly cloud]

idk if my code would be more confusing if I had to do an error for each command

[shrewd apex]

not each command a global error handler

[chilly cloud]

oh

OHH OKAY

[blissful crane]

How does it not work

[clever spade]

Just does nothing

[blissful crane]

Add some prints inside

ive tried.

[blissful crane]

Where'd you put the prints and did they get printed?

[wispy falcon]

hello
why does this not work?

@Bot.event
async def on_message(message):
if 'hi' in message.content:
await message.send("sup")

it says:
AttributeError: 'Message' object has no attribute 'send'

and idk what else i should do

[blissful crane]

message.channel is the channel where the message was sent, you can send to channel not messages

[wispy falcon]

nvm

[wispy falcon]

ik i just realised thx

[midnight oracle]

png shouldn't be a problem, Discord is equiped to handle the format, why don't you try to access the image locally? It's not a good practice but you can try downloading the image and trying to access it from your files to see if the issue is with the link or the image, which I think is the link

[quick gust]

Seems to be working for me

[maiden leaf]

Anyone has ideas for features/functions to make? I've done a lot but idk what next

does anyone know how to make a bot user installable and able to be used in guilds (guild install) private channels (dms and group chats)?

[severe sonnet]

how do i compare if the author is frined with someone?

in my case the ping input

[blissful crane]

Discord bots can't tell if two users are friended

[severe sonnet]

then how do i check if someone is friend with someone?

i mean

in friend list

sorry the confusion

[blissful crane]

I just told you, you can't

[severe sonnet]

i see, not even if it's in friend list

[blissful crane]

Discord bots don't get that info (not even discord users get that info)

[severe sonnet]

i see

guess copying someone's macro code would be unviable

aka unpractical

due to this and also the security breach

[slate swan]

i like ur website it's nice

[slate swan]

thank you!

[severe sonnet]

uhmm, don't it was suppose to be a property of Embed?

[oblique wedge]

do you have the image = "your image"?

[severe sonnet]

yes, the image is from the image input from my method

[wanton current]

This isn't how you set an image in the embed.

[oblique wedge]

in another file?

[severe sonnet]

nope

from URL

[wanton current]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

set_image(*, url)```
Sets the image for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[oblique wedge]

import discord

async def exe_image(image):
embed = discord.Embed()
embed.set_image(url=image)
return embed

@severe sonnet

this is an example how to do it

[severe sonnet]

yeah, oio made that once you sent me this

[oblique wedge]

ok

[severe sonnet]

guess that's all

[oblique wedge]

add this:

image_url = "https://example.com/image.jpg"
embed = await exe_image(image_url)

and tell me if thisa works

[severe sonnet]

yeah, and it worked, gotta test with macro

[oblique wedge]

okay !

[snow coral]

does the api have hybrid commands

for a prefix/slash command

so i dont have to do them seperately

[scarlet tiger]

in discord.py they are known as hybrid commands and in pycord they are known as bridge commands. I don't know if other libraries support this type of commands.

[snow coral]

are there any examples of this in d.py

[naive briar]

!d discord.ui.Select

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Select

class discord.ui.Select(*, custom_id=..., placeholder=None, min_values=1, max_values=1, options=..., disabled=False, row=None)```
Represents a UI select menu with a list of custom options. This is represented to the user as a dropdown menu.

New in version 2.0.

[naive briar]

Where you define it

[oblique wedge]

Do anyone know how to build a chat bot ?? [like ai]

[round jetty]

by... ||coding||

[rugged shadow]

a simple one, or smth like ChatGPT?

if you wanna make an LLM from scratch it's gonna be very hard

[serene lichen]

Hey, I'm trying to make a Discord bot but in devloper portal discord I don't have anything to add a bot to my server

[fast osprey]

The portal lets you generate an invite link with the permissions you want to request (assuming you have Bot enabled on your application)

A server manager has to go to that link to invite the bot. You can't add it directly from the portal

If it's set to private, that has to be you

[slate swan]

How would I create a command that sends embedded message through a webhook? like .publish <content>

not asking to be spoonfeed just cant figure this out

[fast osprey]

Which part are you having trouble with?

[slate swan]

all of it

💀

[fast osprey]

Making a command?

[slate swan]

That does that yes

[fast osprey]

No, do you know how to make a command?

[slate swan]

Yes

[fast osprey]

Then that wouldn't be "all of it"

[slate swan]

hmmm

[fast osprey]

Do you know how to make a webhook on discord?

[slate swan]

Mhm

[fast osprey]

Do you know how to send a message to that webhook in code?

[slate swan]

nope

[fast osprey]

Which library are you using?

[slate swan]

at less not yet

[slate swan]

the one created by rapptz

discordpy

[fast osprey]

!d discord.Webhook.from_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.from\_url

classmethod from_url(url, *, session=..., client=..., bot_token=None)```
Creates a partial [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook) from a webhook URL.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[fast osprey]

You can use this to create a Webhook object from the url discord gives you. You can then call .send on that Webhook

[slate swan]

Ah i see

Thx

[slim bloom]

How could I add a modal to a button?

[fast osprey]

In the button's callback, you can respond to the interaction by sending a modal

[slim bloom]

docs?

[timber dragon]

Just await interaction.response.send_modal(MyModal())

[river mason]

Don't use that library if you have a single endpoint

requests will work fine

[nova vessel]

How can I send a user a form when they invoke a command?

[scarlet tiger]

What library do you use?

[nova vessel]

discord.py

[scarlet tiger]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/modals/basic.py

[nova vessel]

Lovely, thank you!

[slim bloom]

class Report(discord.ui.Modal, title="Reporte"):
    description = discord.ui.TextInput(label="Describe tu reporte", style=discord.TextStyle.long, placeholder="Explica qué ha sucedido...", required=True, max_length=150)
    def __init__(self, message: discord.Message):
        super().__init__(title="Reporte")
        self.message = message

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        try:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Reporte recibido.", ephemeral=True)
            await self.message.delete()

        except Exception as e:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"Error: {e}", ephemeral=True)```

Why doesn't it delete the reported message, in this case embed?

[patent hull]

should work fine

try using instead delete_original_response

[slim bloom]

ok

[slim bloom]

don`t work

[hushed galleon]

do you get any error message? or is "Reporte recibido" not sent at all?

[slim bloom]

I receive the message report received but it does not delete the message

embed*

[hushed galleon]

and does any error message show up in your console?

[slim bloom]

nope

[hushed galleon]

odd, if message.delete() failed then i would have expected the "Error: {e}" to fail and then result in a double traceback being logged, given that the interaction was already responded to

[slim bloom]

yeah ;c

async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        try:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Reporte recibido.", ephemeral=True)
            await interaction.response.delete_original_response()

        except Exception as e:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"Error: {e}", ephemeral=True)```

[hushed galleon]

assuming something is wrong with your console not showing errors, can you try deleting the message first and then sending any traceback to discord? e.g. py try: await self.message.delete() except: import traceback message = discord.utils.escape_markdown(traceback.format_exc()) await interaction.response.send_message(message, ephemeral=True) else: await interaction.response.send_message("Reporte recibido.", ephemeral=True)

although for dpy, it could also mean you haven't configured logging...

what code do you have to start your bot? minus the token

[shrewd apex]

views and modals don't report errors by default right? unless u have on_error setup

[hushed galleon]

i checked earlier, they call the logger by default instead of print_exc() that dpy used to use for er, on_error events iirc
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/ui/modal.py#L166

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ui/modal.py line 166

_log.error('Ignoring exception in modal %r:', self, exc_info=error)```

[shrewd apex]

ic

[slim bloom]

:v

ok wait

[shrewd apex]

i usually have that on_error overriden for this makes debugging way easier

[slim bloom]

class Report(discord.ui.Modal, title="Reporte"):
    description = discord.ui.TextInput(label="Describe tu reporte", style=discord.TextStyle.long, placeholder="Explica qué ha sucedido...", required=True, min_length=10, max_length=150)
    def __init__(self, message: discord.Message):
        super().__init__()
        self.message = message

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Reporte recibido.", ephemeral=True)
        await interaction.response.delete_original_response()


    async def on_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, e: Exception = None):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Error: {e}", ephemeral=True)```

@shrewd apex

[hushed galleon]

^ can you use this for on_submit instead?

[slim bloom]

don`t work

tested

[hushed galleon]

as in no message appears?

[slim bloom]

no

[hushed galleon]

also, do you use await bot.start(...) instead of bot.run()? if so, you might not have logging configured

[stone fractal]

Who can teach me to create discord bot plz?

[slim bloom]

yeah, bot start

[hushed galleon]

can you call discord.utils.setup_logging() just before bot.start() then? and then write your modal without any error handling, e.g. py async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction): await self.message.delete() await interaction.response.send_message("Reporte recibido.", ephemeral=True)

configuring logging should make the modal log error tracebacks to your console as normal

[patent hull]

delete_original_response is an interaction method, not a response
