Thanks for the help

[fast osprey]

Detecting the system message is probably the least unreliable but will silently break if any of the above things become not true

[merry cliff]

looks liek it is just listening for the boost message

[sinful galleon]

Okay I'll try that out

[sinful galleon]

[fast osprey]

You should check the message type

Not its content

[sinful galleon]

not giving any problmes but also not sending messages any idea why?

[fierce ridge]

so guys i have a slash command but i want response in a specific channel

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

instead of this i want the response in specific channel

how do i do that

if i do channel = bot.get_channel(636399538650742795)

do i do await interaction.response.channel.send_message?

[wanton current]

you can do that, but you also need to respond to the interaction

[fierce ridge]

ok

how do i do that ill just send command sent

@wanton current

how do i do that? can u gimme sample command or smthing

[wanton current]

channel = bot.get_channel(id)
await channel.send()
await interaction.response.send_message()

[fierce ridge]

thx

[hearty basalt]

dank memer ahh command

[vapid parcel]

Is it against ToS to list all the servers your Bot uses? I am meaning like Privacy wise.

What I mean is list all the servers my bot is in.

Publicly^

I am pretty sure it breaks the Privacy of discord, but I have no clue, so thats why I am asking here.

[fringe wharf]

anyone know why im getting this error: Extension ' ' raised an error: ImportError: cannot import name 'app_commands' from 'discord' ...

im using rapptz fork fyi

[vapid parcel]

What version of dpy are you using?

[fringe wharf]

2

[vapid parcel]

run

pip show discord.py

Version: 2.4.0

just need this line ^

You will run the command in your IDE terminal.

[mighty pilot]

💀💀🙏

[fringe wharf]

it is 2.4.0

[faint sapphire]

british identified

[vapid parcel]

Nah 🙏

I gotta do more work now 🙏

[vapid parcel]

So why couldn't they just have changed what interaction_metadata is doing to what interaction does?

so we don't have to change literally everything 😭

its kinda annoying imo

[opal vortex]

yep

[opal vortex]

discord fucks everything up ikr

[vapid parcel]

Yeee

and idek why they did it bro 😭

I am confused on the update ngl

Like for interaction_metadata

[hushed galleon]

thats usually what happens in order to maintain backwards compatibility, adding and deprecating instead of changing existing schema

[timber dragon]

Neither discord nor dpy can just randomly remove fields and change types, that would break people's code for no reason

[faint sapphire]

hi, Im trying get back into bot dev after 2 years, to improve a hiring process, Im not easily able to spend a ton of time catching up and testing along the way,
-do you guys know some open source bots I can work off of,
-or how I could find ppl to hire to help me catch up more effectively

[hot stump]

u last coded in 2022?

[faint sapphire]

yh, the api changed a bit since, I dont think I can rely on my previous bot as much

[hot stump]

the best way is to run the bot u had, try to check whats new and change ur old bot to that new changes and learning on the way. bcs it's ur code u will spend more time learning new stuff instead of trying to run things ur not familiar with.

and there was no major updates since 2022 so it's not so bad

for discord.py devs:
how do i allow commands to be ran when user installed?
but without using the app_commands format - using the @BOT.tree.command format?

[merry cliff]

same thing heres an examplepy @bot.tree.command(description='probably my ping', name='ping') @app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True) @app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True) async def _ping(interaction: discord.Interaction): latency = round(bot.latency*1000, 2) await interaction.response.send_message("Pong!") msg = await interaction.original_response() await msg.edit(content=f"Pong! My ping is `{latency} ms`") print(f'Ping: `{latency} ms`') print(interaction.guild.id)

since you are still making an app command it still applies

[hot stump]

AttributeError: module 'discord.app_commands' has no attribute 'allowed_installs'

@BOT.tree.command(name="info", description="See info and stats about the bot!")
@app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True)

async def info(interaction: discord.Interaction):

[merry cliff]

Update your discord.py

[hot stump]

even with 2.4V installed it doesn't work, same error

[patent hull]

can you do pip freeze please

you maybe have some 3rd party lib installed that uses the same discord namespace

because in discord.py 2.4+ there should be no errors with user apps

[hot stump]

bruh

turns out it didnt update even when i added -U

[patent hull]

[hot stump]

ok i got 2.4 and it's working

Yeah why

[wary shore]

what should i use for things i want to happen once?

[fast osprey]

Typically an asyncio task, which can use wait_until_ready if it relies on cache

[radiant bough]

is it possible to get the id of a user who ran slash command (in some other bot)

[upbeat otter]

no

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ATKQ
removed the python logic, just contains the api refs I was using 2 years ago.
any of these got deprecated/replaced since?

[hushed galleon]

seems mostly fine, i noticed a couple issues

• awaiting bot.get_user() isn't allowed and requires the members intent to turn on dpy's member cache
• channel.history() returns an asynchronous iterator, so you need an async for list comprehension if you want to flatten it into a list
  if you're migrating from 1.7.3 to 2.0+, you should definitely see the migration guide
  https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html
  and if you want an example of using cogs/extensions, application commands with multi-language support, and message components, here's me shilling my bot :)
  https://github.com/thegamecracks/theticketbot
  but also you can check out these guides and the docs on application commands if you want to rewrite your commands with them:

some1 help

it says application did not respond

[fast musk]

Need to swap the values

In seriousness, which option are you choosing where it doesn't respond?

iirc can't users also put in a custom value? You don't send a response if the value is not 1 or 2

disregard. It returns a choice. So you need account.value And because each of those checks failed it never sends a response

[fast osprey]

You should also probably get in the habit of debugging things first

Seeing if you get into this callback at all and what the value of account is will probably help you solve this

?

[hearty basalt]

i jus realised it's ctx mb lmao

[icy magnet]

ye it is

[wanton current]

You should be using interaction

[icy magnet]

can u transform my code?

[hearty basalt]

thats why i immediately said send it to the interaction channel without even reading the code xd

[wanton current]

no

i dont rly understand

  await interaction.channel.send(embed=embed, view=view)```

[wanton current]

why would you send it twice

[hearty basalt]

i mean he's sending 'done' and then the actual embed

[toxic breach]

twice? the first is the ephemeral message which is the verification message and the await interaction.channel.send is to send the embed into the interaction channel

[hearty basalt]

and the done is ephemeral so it's exactly like the apollo screenshot

[wanton current]

i guess

[icy magnet]

                                                     ^^^^

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

i mean it says it right there, you didn't define a view

lemme do it

How some bot have custom command feature can someone guide me how they do it?

wym 'custom command feature'

[mild token]

Means command to make command
Example
!create_cc hello

Now hello is also a command and i can invoke it with
!hello

What is user installed command how it works

[vapid parcel]

Thats related to databases and stuff man. You have to have custom handlers.

That is nothing to do with discord.py or discord api.

Thats because they made something custom and made it work with their bot.

Those custom commands are simple things, not really commands. So its not anything "special" I guess. You can probably find an example on github if you really needed one!

discord.js then discord.py

if you count other langs

@sick birch

Sorry for the ping, but I did a little rework on my discord.py template, you want to take a look at it?

https://github.com/RejectModderss/Discord.py-Template

[vapid parcel]

you can use on_timeout

[sick birch]

if it works for you, great

i don't try to make a one size fits all template, just too hard to do

[vapid parcel]

Just wondering what you thought of it. That would be hard of lol.

[sick birch]

i dont think what i think of it will be useful to you

what matters is if it makes your workflow more efficient

[midnight oracle]

That's what I'm doing

[vapid parcel]

Well we can't help unless we see code.

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[midnight oracle]

But neither passing the interaction to the view via argument or using self.interaction without passing it as an argument

In the first case I get a NoneType

[midnight oracle]

When I arrive home I ping u

[vapid parcel]

@midnight oracle why not just on timeout just disable buttons?

instead of sending a message or something..?

It will make life easier imo.

[lucid ember]

[red sparrow]

i need help

[opal vortex]

yes don't use on_message use slash commands from cogs.

[red sparrow]

how do i do that

[opal vortex]

and inherit from commands.Bot

[red sparrow]

What to i replace

[opal vortex]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/J5EQ

a full example discord bot.

strip out the cog code you do not need.

Also it's better than message.content based bots as discord really loves to permanently break those.

[red sparrow]

if i want to keep it has a prefix command?

[opal vortex]

I would instead suggest migrating to slash instead of prefix

slash has the added benefits where the discord client could inform the user with docs on how to use the commands as well

removing the need for a website page or github free docs page that has the usage information for each command.

[faint sapphire]

noticed weird stuff,
Im using using a bot in two servers,
when I added a command, it wasnt syncing to the second server.
I was considering applying whatever they were talking ab https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75136546/slash-commands-not-syncing-to-specific-guilds-in-discord-py
I first tried adding
await bot.wait_until_ready()
and the issue was fixed.

is that a reliable solution globally?

[hushed galleon]

if it was synced globally, very often restarting your discord client fixes it, or Ctrl+R reloading it

[faint sapphire]

ight thanks

[proven plover]

How i can make discord bot with py

[faint sapphire]

youtube tutorials are good

digestible

[slate swan]

mostly not

[lucid ember]

How can I check for Timeout entries in the audit log?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.audit_logs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.audit\_logs

async for ... in audit_logs(*, limit=100, before=..., after=..., oldest_first=..., user=..., action=...)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) that enables receiving the guild’s audit logs.

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

Examples

Getting the first 100 entries:

```py
async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=100):
    print(f'{entry.user} did {entry.action} to {entry.target}')
```...

[slate swan]

!d discord.AuditLogAction.member_update # check for that to be the action

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AuditLogAction.member\_update

A member has updated. This triggers in the following situations:

• A nickname was changed

• They were server muted or deafened (or it was undo’d)

When this is the action, the type of target is the Member, User, or Object who got updated.

Possible attributes for AuditLogDiff...

[slate swan]

Then get the audit log diff, and there you have the differences if the user has been timed out or not

[mild token]

Just they simply checking on_message event?

[opal vortex]

so like should I move these exception handlers down a bit more to shorten my codebase a little bit?

since if there is an error loading the cogs, might as well make them a one that aborts the program as they would need changes then anyways to fix their loading issue.

😅

[delicate canopy]

where i can find a good site to learn how to make a bot?

srry if is the wrong place to ask

[midnight oracle]

Cuz it's a RPS game, and if there's a timeout the user needs to know that the other player never played

[opal vortex]

there is a default help command that you can customize

[icy magnet]

wym?

i made button

and when i press it nothing happens

it doesnt work

[midnight oracle]

I can access the interaction in the whole View class but inside of the on_timeout I cannot. I say so cuz I'm constantly editing the embed to change the message depending on battle results or user's turn

But I cannot change the embed when the time goes out

Not even calling a function outside the timeout function

[fierce ridge]

Bro I asked a silly question cuz I'm new to bot dev

I don't understand

[midnight oracle]

Add this to your code

@bot.remove_command("help")

If the problem is with the default help command as that guy said

That will remove it

[icy magnet]

where

[midnight oracle]

Add it in the main file, after the on_ready

[icy magnet]

at the end?

okay

I coded my first ever bot for a Hockey simulation league

[sturdy egret]

Hey all, i need some help. Im trying to get a channel id from a webhook, which i have done successfully but then i need to send a message to that channel id. And it never works, if anyone can help me i can offer a cash reward

[vapid parcel]

So, I have a good idea, but I need help with something it involved SKUs, but I don't see where in the API where I can remove people from the SKU?

[midnight oracle]

Show me the main file

[vapid parcel]

Why nextcord...?

[midnight oracle]

Wdym?

[midnight oracle]

Ooh, you're using nextcore

[icy magnet]

why not?

[icy magnet]

yes

[vapid parcel]

we have a create_entitlement but we don't have a delete_entitlement? that is the issue I am running into.

[vapid parcel]

I am pretty sure nextcord is really out of date...

[icy magnet]

is there anything up to date

nextcord is easeir

many people said

[vapid parcel]

This is their last release bro....

[midnight oracle]

Just above the the @bot.slash_command(name = "help") put bot.remove_command("help")

[vapid parcel]

Yes, use discord.py or something or you can use pycord. Those 2 are really up to date.

The 2 that are up to date are dpy and pycord.

[scarlet tiger]

If you don't want to use discord.py you can use py-cord, the guide is good and updated.

[icy magnet]

now ill have to change whole code

but okay

is pycord easier than discord.py?

[vapid parcel]

https://pypi.org/project/py-cord/

[vapid parcel]

You can't use the word "easier" its more of a preference.

[icy magnet]

wym

[vapid parcel]

Its all based on skill level and stuff like that.

[icy magnet]

what are differents

I just started

[quick gust]

Pycord is a fork of dpy

[vapid parcel]

You will have to read docs to learn that.

[quick gust]

dpy is the original

[scarlet tiger]

I think that in Pycord it is easier to create slash commands

[vapid parcel]

We all know this 😭

[quick gust]

I'm telling that to @icy magnet who clearly asked.

[scarlet tiger]

@icy magnet

https://guide.pycord.dev/introduction

[vapid parcel]

@commands.hybrid_command
@bot.hybrid_command

hybrid just better

[red palm]

real

[icy magnet]

thx

[red palm]

https://tenor.com/view/juicewrld-happy-laroi-999-gif-21546418

[midnight oracle]

What about with roles or webhooks to detect when an entitlement has to expire

[scarlet tiger]

It's the same thing, only in Pycord it's @bot.bridge_command

[vapid parcel]

So how is it "easier"?

You stated it was "easier"?

[red palm]

it may be easier to you but maybe it isnt to @icy magnet

[scarlet tiger]

And I'm not talking about hybrid commands, I'm talking about application commands

[vapid parcel]

You stated "slash commands"

that could be anything

    @app_commands.command(name="purge")
    @app_commands.guild_only()
    @app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    @app_commands.checks.bot_has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    @app_commands.describe(
        amount="Please give an amount between 1 and 100.",
        reason="Please give a reason.",
        member="Please mention a member.",
    )
    async def purge(```

simple application command.

Seems simple imo 😭

[scarlet tiger]

Make sure you uninstall the other library

[icy magnet]

okay

[scarlet tiger]

I think it is easier

@bot.slash_command(name=..., description=...)

But it's subjective

[red palm]

idk mna

Even tho its the same thing its SO much better

why url doesnt work? it worked in nextcord 💀

[vapid parcel]

First off, please do interaction: discord.Interaction, buttion: discord.ui.Button

unless pycord is different with that

[icy magnet]

ye

[icy magnet]

where?

[vapid parcel]

        await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked the button!", ephemeral=True)```

so like this^^

[icy magnet]

ty

and why like that?

[vapid parcel]

Because thats how you properly do interaction and button

I spelled button wrong in that code hold up

[icy magnet]

ye i fixed it

[vapid parcel]

yeah mb

[icy magnet]

but still error

[vapid parcel]

yeah looking into it

[icy magnet]

alr ty

[vapid parcel]

You should be able to do URL

Wait for a pycord person to respond maybe idk

Thats weird tbh

[icy magnet]

can i make commands like that?

cuz i see you do

[vapid parcel]

im doing something different in my code. You can do it how you want.

[icy magnet]

okay

[icy magnet]

someone help?

[vapid parcel]

@icy magnet

[icy magnet]

ye?

[vapid parcel]

is discord.ui.LinkButton a thing?

[vapid parcel]

no for discord.ui

discord*

holy im having issues with spelling lmao

[icy magnet]

im basing on this example

[vapid parcel]

Yeah idk thats weird

[patent hull]

button decorator doesnt allow links

you must instate a discord.ui.Button() manually

[midnight oracle]

@vapid parcel

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/OIXQ

[vapid parcel]

issue?

i kinda forgot what your issue was xD

[restive flint]

Why tf are pre-made commands not working?

Like on_ready or on_message

Intents are enabled

[wanton current]

good question

[restive flint]

Am I doing it wrong?

[wanton current]

probably

[restive flint]

@bot.listen
async def on_message(msg)

Hello?

[fast osprey]

"Not working" isn't descriptive, and those two lines of code don't really tell us anything

[restive flint]

Ok solved it but

Now it says its not iterable

[wanton current]

^

[fast osprey]

You're going to need to post code and actual errors and tracebacks

[restive flint]

Arguement of type builtin gunction or method is not iterable

[fast osprey]

code

traceback

[restive flint]

Im sorry this is all I got

Now it works

[timber dragon]

winkey + shift + s btw

[toxic breach]

a

[heady cave]

What tutorial ?

[rain hedge]

how would I set up the callback for a button?

[toxic breach]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
      return
    if "mrb" in message.content:
        await message.channel.send("sana da mrb")```

[harsh orbit]

how to check if a message author is bot?

[faint sapphire]

@harsh orbit

[harsh orbit]

I want to check if its any bot

not my bot only

[faint sapphire]

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

apparently that

[harsh orbit]

worked, thx

I'm adding await bot.process_commands(message) and still the commands not working

[upbeat otter]

where are you putting it

[harsh orbit]

in the end of it

[upbeat otter]

the on_message event?

[harsh orbit]

yes

also I removed the returns from it

should I?

[haughty summit]

Good night

Have anyone used discord.py-self? The experiment is about being able to scrappe data from a server where I havent deployed a bot

[upbeat otter]

self botting is against the discord TOS, we cannot help with your issue

[upbeat otter]

can you show your on_message event (updated)

[drifting arrow]

I need some fresh pair of eyes. Ones untainted by terrible code..
What's different between these 2 classes to cause the issue?

The first class (Automatic_leaderboard) loads as it should..

<class 'leaderboard_auto.Automatic_Leaderboard'>
leaderboard_auto
./plugins\leaderboard\leaderboard_auto.py

But then the 2nd class (Leaderboard_Commands) doesn't load..

<class 'discord.ext.commands.bot.Bot'>
leaderboard_commands
./plugins\leaderboard\leaderboard_commands.py

but if I were to change the leaderboards command class to something else

it'd work D:

Correction. It only works when I change the class to class Automatic_LeaderboardB(GroupCog, name="automatic_leaderboardb"):

[fast osprey]

The error you posted is because you're trying to instantiate something that subclasses bot without declaring a command prefix

[drifting arrow]

You misunderstood

[merry cliff]

are they running at the same time? could be some weird interaction there

[drifting arrow]

dw I figured it out

[merry cliff]

ok

[tiny creek]

Can bots created by users be added to this channel?

[merry cliff]

no

[drifting arrow]

No. The bot has to be invited to this server and then the bot has to have permissions to view this channel.

Usually only server owners and admins can invite bots to the server

[tiny creek]

Okay

[timber dragon]

I mean

You can use user apps now

[zinc gust]

Alright, im owning a community server and im trying to code a tool that sends a certain message to someone's friend by using its token. But, im always getting some api errors. Can someone help me or maybe send me a working code that dmall friend ?

[hearty basalt]

token?

[zinc gust]

yeah

like it dms someone's friend

[ornate bluff]

which channel do I go to for just general help?

[zinc gust]

[restive skiff]

nvm

[zinc gust]

#data-science-and-ml

[upbeat otter]

why can't you use the id of the person?

[zinc gust]

cuz if you have 300 friend it'll be so slow

but nvm i did it

but better like

it even dms people that u dmed but arent ur friend

Is this just a shard error?

or is this something that I can fix?

[glad marsh]

is this a good layout?

[vapid parcel]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/M3DA

Very confused on this error, never seen it and have no clue on how to fix it?

alr nvm I fixed it lmao

simple mistake on my end.

[opal vortex]

for me I have database in root of bot folder and have all of the bot code inside of a parent "package" directory.

__main__.py inside of it as well for the main executable part of it as well.

[sharp hazel]

where the cogs should be registered, in the on_ready or setup_hook??

[opal vortex]

neither

[sharp hazel]

its nice, but i recomend to self host a database with mysql or smthing. and try to find a space inside your code for the two files you made in utils, and with a project this small i don't think its necessary

[sharp hazel]

then, where?

[opal vortex]

you can register cogs when you create instance of client and before you call client.start(token)

[sharp hazel]

okey! thanks.

[opal vortex]

my bot's __init__.py:

async def run_bot():
    activity: Activity = await get_activity()
    client: Bot = Bot(
        command_prefix=[],
        help_command=None,
        description='',
        activity=discord.Streaming(
            name=activity.ActivityName,
            url=activity.ActivityUrl),
        intents=discord.Intents.default(),
        pm_help=False)
    await client.load_extension(f'DiscordBot.cogs')
    token: DiscordToken = await get_discordtoken()
    if token is not None:
        await client.start(token.Token)
    else:
        print('No token specified.')


def bot_main():
    # in case there is leaks lets
    # tell the interpreter to clean
    # them up.
    gc.enable()
    try:
        asyncio.run(run_bot())
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass
    except asyncio.CancelledError:
        pass
    except discord.errors.GatewayNotFound:
        print('The Gateway was not found. API Downtime?')
    except discord.errors.LoginFailure:
        print('Invalid token specified.')
    except Exception as ex:
        traceback.print_exception(ex)

As you can see here I don't have to subclass Bot.

import asyncio
import gc
import traceback

import discord
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
``` (the imports)

[sharp hazel]

okey, i have the class of the instance bot in client.py:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

from rbot.cogs import Cogs


class Client(commands.Bot):

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(
            command_prefix="?", intents=discord.Intents.all(), help_command=None
        )

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        await Cogs(self).register()

[opal vortex]

you can get away with doing what I did instead.

[sharp hazel]

and then i start up the bot in a main.py:

from rbot.client import Client

if __name__ == "__main__":
    Client().run("...")

[sharp hazel]

i know, but isn't much more clean to separe the two files like i did?

[opal vortex]

no, it's actually easier doing like how I did it.

[sharp hazel]

yeah but speaking in readability terms

[opal vortex]

my __main__.py:

"""
Discord Bot entrypoint.
"""
from . import bot_main


if __name__ == '__main__':
    bot_main()

mine is readable still 😅

[sharp hazel]

you can just call it main.py

[opal vortex]

no you can't not if you want the package itself to be runnable with py -m DiscordBot

__main__.py is a special file that python considers for runnable "packages".

[sharp hazel]

i know. but still, my bot isn't a package

[opal vortex]

ye but like

I prefer running them as packages

😅

as then it would be less files in source root.

[sharp hazel]

well, going to the point. it would be better to make a async main function and add the cogs there?

[upbeat otter]

well yeah you have to add them in an async function

either if youre loading them as extensions or cogs doesn't matter

[glad marsh]

Thanks for the response, I'll do some modifications

[glad marsh]

👌 appreciate it

[scarlet tiger]

It doesn't have to be async, it can be a normal function. Extensions/Cogs are added before the bot is ready to respond to commands.

[opal vortex]

yep

and besides I put all my events inside of my cog's __init__.py file as well too.

And have all cog code and classes in that file as well.

Also because why not because all of that code is less than 1.5k lines anyways

😅

[glad marsh]

If you wouldn't mind, can you send a pic of your files

The directories

If it's not confidential

[scarlet tiger]

is a good way, in my case I have a folder called Events and there I have the different events 😅

[glad marsh]

Is it a cog?

[scarlet tiger]

yep

[glad marsh]

Nice

So you have separate files for events and commands?

[glad marsh]

What do you have in members thing

[scarlet tiger]

events related to the members of the different servers.

[glad marsh]

Oh interesting

When you say events what do you mean exactly

[scarlet tiger]

for example this

this event is triggered automatically when a new member joins the server

[glad marsh]

Ah I see

What library do you use?

[scarlet tiger]

py-cord

[glad marsh]

Oh cool

Do you know what hybrid commands are

[scarlet tiger]

yes, but I don't use them much because I prefer to work with application commands directly

[glad marsh]

Oh I see

I wanted to use them but disnake does have it

[scarlet tiger]

I didn't know before that other libraries existed, I simply searched for alternatives to discord.py and the first thing I found was py-cord

[glad marsh]

Why does no one use discord.py

[wanton current]

it's still the second most popular discord bot library

[glad marsh]

What's the first one?

[wanton current]

discord.js

[glad marsh]

And what do you mean by still?

Did something happen to it

[glad marsh]

Oh

[wanton current]

it was discontinued for 6 months

[glad marsh]

Oh

How long ago?

[glad marsh]

Oh

Quite a long time ago

[scarlet tiger]

The problem is that I started working on a discord bot when discord.py was no longer receiving updates and I had a lot of problems.

But I think now discord.py is receiving updates again.

[glad marsh]

I see

When did you start creating bots?

[wanton current]

That's the reason of py-cord, disnake, nexcord, all the forks, etc.

[glad marsh]

Yeah makes sense

I still don't understand why disnake doesn't have hybrid commands 😭😭

[wanton current]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[opal vortex]

because hybrid commands are a pain in the ass to maintain

[scarlet tiger]

back to discord.py or another library 😢

[opal vortex]

also slash commands better hecause self docs from discord.

[wanton current]

pretty sure d.py started with hybrids

[opal vortex]

ye

[glad marsh]

If you don't mind me asking, what library do you use and when did you start programming discord bots?

[opal vortex]

until they added full slash support.

[wanton current]

d.py, 2020

[glad marsh]

Maybe I've only used disnake so far

My friend recommended it when I got interested

[wanton current]

when did you get interested?

[opal vortex]

tbh

[glad marsh]

Around march

[opal vortex]

I should update to 2.4.0 but like

[glad marsh]

Like 3-4 months ago

[opal vortex]

I don't know how well my bot would work with 2.4.0 though

so I use 2.3.2 atm

[glad marsh]

I've made some basic bots but it had so many mistakes 💀, I had multiple database files

Never knew you had to use one 😭

When I was told everything started to make sense

[wanton current]

i mean

each file is just its own database

if you're using SQLite

[scarlet tiger]

discord.py and its forks are the same, there are only some details that change. For example in py-cord the application commands are made different from discord.py.

[wanton current]

should work without changing anything

[opal vortex]

true, besides I mostly use interaction.client or message.interaction.client

[glad marsh]

Yeah, I was told to use one dB and have several tables

[opal vortex]

😅

[wanton current]

yeah, that's usually what you do

[wanton current]

yeah

[glad marsh]

I see

[opal vortex]

actually

it seems I only use interaction.client but store message that was right clicked so when the callback on a select menu message gets called.

so then I could delete that specific message and do stuffs with them (add roles)

[glad marsh]

I have a question, how do you guys store bot sent messages for later use

[opal vortex]

well that is the thing

I would store only the message id

not content

for privacy reasons ofc

[glad marsh]

And how would you tell the bot to go back to that message using only the id

[opal vortex]

simple

make a find the message with the id via api

[glad marsh]

Can you make a mini example

[opal vortex]

also would need to store the channel id that the message id was from as well in db

so such a request is possible

[glad marsh]

Oh, so you'd store a message Id and channel I'd

[opal vortex]

yes

[glad marsh]

Then use those things to make a message link

[opal vortex]

discord.utils.find can be used to find a channel and message by id.

[glad marsh]

I see

[opal vortex]

so first use it to find the channel based on stored id

and then message based on it's stored id from the fetched channel

[glad marsh]

Can you do ctx.channel.id or ctx.message.id as well

[opal vortex]

obtaining from interaction instance I think is better

because for some things ctx is not available

[vapid parcel]

If you don't mind me asking, what makes you think that?

Maintain as in the wrapper side or the user?

[faint sapphire]

nah bro, gpt is too useful 💀

[merry cliff]

large nuts 🤨

[faint sapphire]

well I did provide a simple class for doing 1 selector,
but it wasnt even working properly

[merry cliff]

surely disable the button after its clicked

[faint sapphire]

dont u feel exposed having so many accounts linked XD

[faint sapphire]

ah yh u right

act, simply delete the interaction or something

[merry cliff]

dont rlly post on them so it doesn't rlly matter

[merry cliff]

you can set the Button.disabled property to True

[vapid parcel]

Just make a BaseView. So you don't have to repeat this over n over in buttons or select menus!

[merry cliff]

smart

[vapid parcel]

It will get really annoying.

Also saves time.

[merry cliff]

before and after instead of deleting

[vapid parcel]

Also, how do bots that are "economy" based not do a register command?

or like a start command or sum?

[faint sapphire]

thanks

[vapid parcel]

How do you get added to the db without doing something related to that? You would need a register command would you not?

Because your queries would be reated to select or update

related*

[merry cliff]

maybe the first time you earn money it checks if the user is in the db

and then does setup if not

[vapid parcel]

You would have to do that check in every command....

related to economy ^

[merry cliff]

probably handle it in a func that all/most of the commands use to access the db

[vapid parcel]

Is there a better practice I can do instead of doing a manual check in each command?

[merry cliff]

def get_user_data_from_db(user_id):
    try:
        ...
    except whatever error it is:
        make a new user account
``` or something

instead of putting the check in each command

[vapid parcel]

Well yes id still have to put that function/check in the command ya know?

I made a class called economy and it has all functions so I don't have to repeat functions like that

so yes I can do that lol. But just wanted to see if there was a better way to do it..

[merry cliff]

have an entry for every possible username/id on discord XD

[vapid parcel]

😭

[merry cliff]

so there is no need to handle account creation if they are all created

[vapid parcel]

hack discords database

GG easy

just take their database atp

[merry cliff]

frfr

[faint sapphire]

nah bro I gotta get that 4o subscription

it can mess up yeah, but all I do then, is ask it to detail things properly, then with just mentioning what the solution is likely to be, it corrects it perfectly

[scarlet tiger]

If you only use AI to solve problems you will never improve as a programmer.

[faint sapphire]

I do tho, bc it doesnt work to just rely on its code 100%,
perfect compromise, it explains things in detail so u notice what specifically is causing the issue. pointing out the specifics allows it suggest fixes

u learn along the process, the api stuff

[dusky pine]

ok awesome

so that means you can recreate that now without the help of AI?

[faint sapphire]

blindly from scratch, not cause I didnt memorise the api methods

logic in programming is not what holds back progress, just the api stuff is

[main holly]

!paste

[opal vortex]

both

[vapid parcel]

Idk abt the user side, I've only ever used hybrid, pretty easy, only thing I can say that could be annoying would possibly be error handling because sometimes hybrid has specific errors. So you gotta do special shit for it. But other than that, it's pretty easy imo.

I like it cuz of customization ig

What I mean by customization is for people who use the bot, they can control more if you do more with the coding ig.

Now idk abt the wrapper side, i bet it's a pain for the wrapper yes.

[iron gyro]

what is he using to make the bot like that , i mean is it buttons or something? and is it possible to do that in python cuz that isnt in python its in js

heres the video if you dont understand by what i mean

https://youtu.be/vlaaPNGr7Fc?si=Rlx4hpsBWSa_PXHM

[swift siren]

what's the meaning of this , I have yet to change any of my user apps which were all working fine , then out of random I get this and none of my application commands would register

[slate swan]

yes it is, they both use the same API (Discord's API), so what one can do, the other can as well

[iron gyro]

is he using buttons?

[slate swan]

yes

[iron gyro]

i see , and can we do it using the discord lib only or do we have to use the commands ext

[timber dragon]

You're supoosed to use discord.app_commands.AppCommandContext not from the discord namespace

Also, see this gist: https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2024/04/11/user-installable-applications.html

[opal vortex]

bruh you should not be syncing the tree in on_ready

either do a single cog and sync in setup() inside of that cog, or sync in setup_hook.

personally I like the single cog and inside of setup() so then you can avoid using setup_hook as much as possible.

[mild token]

can i send custom animated emoji through webhook with bot and use the emoji if bot is not present in that server?

[glad marsh]

except commands.MissingRequiredArgument(duration, reason):
            await ctx.send(embed=error_embed('Please specify a user.'))```

Is this how you define parameters for an error?

this is disnake btw

[glad marsh]

i think you can, but you have to make a webhook

for the channel you want to use

but i doubt there's a way to call the bot without it being in the server

you'd have to trigger the bot elsewere

[mild token]

I mean to use emoji which isn't in bot server can I use them??

[glad marsh]

What

I don't understand could you maybe rephrase

[upbeat otter]

yes you can

[timber dragon]

Yes if the everyone role has permission to

[timber dragon]

??? Why would you try and avoid setup_hook

Please don't tell people to avoid basic OOP

Syncing in the setup is weird too

You should sync after all extensions are loaded and not automatic at all

[timber dragon]

maybe print the result of that checkUser

[timber dragon]

hm

you sure the cog loaded?

[swift siren]

@opal vortex @timber dragon thanks you for both suggestions but I was able to figure it out myself

once again thanks you

[timber dragon]

ay

well no

it's a classmethod, you forgot some ()

shouldn't

it returns int

[opal vortex]

when you want to NOT subclass bot so you can have it in a single function that starts the bot instead and makes the code far more simpler to maintain.

[timber dragon]

no?

[opal vortex]

Also because I only need 1 cog so for me putting it inside of setup() is ok.

[faint sapphire]

is using miru to make select & button menus still a thing?
Im trying to do something slightly complex, and cant figure out how to disable the menu is some events.
it seems simpler with miru

[vocal laurel]

send over code please

[mild token]

suppose i have a nitro and and i added some other animated emoji which isnt present in the server where my bot is since i am using webhook can webhook send the same emoji?

[faint sapphire]

used a pycord guide and gpt.
not super versed in OOP but I understand how the thread goes.

version 1:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/CRDQ
version 2 where I tried to make the fix:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZHPA

goals:

1. when the green button is in the "confirm" state, if they click cancel, the UI gets deleted.

2. when the green button is in the "are you sure?" state, if they click cancel, it remains enabled as it switched back to "confirm", because 3 options are still selected.

3)once the click "are you sure?", the UI gets deleted.

[glad marsh]

I actually have no idea

Try

[scarlet tiger]

That's not Pycord

is discord.py

Pycord handles interactions a little differently

[faint sapphire]

idk what u mean, I said I used a pycord guide
https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/dropdowns#disabling-select-menus

[scarlet tiger]

Why do you use the Pycord guide and use discord.py?

🤔

[faint sapphire]

dont understand, isnt that python 😭

idk what pycord is

some framework?

man im so cooked

[scarlet tiger]

It is another library to make Discord bots

😅

It is the same as discord.py in many ways but some details change

[faint sapphire]

all the other guides on yt, are too basic for what im tryna do

[scarlet tiger]

then go to pycord

maybe nobody has that role?

[tribal pivot]

Hi all! Help is needed. I reinstalled Windows, installed Python and the libraries I needed, but the bot doesn’t want to start... The terminal window appears for a couple of seconds and then just closes. There are no errors in the code, I checked it several times.

[dusky pine]

open up a terminal and run it by the command

as in, open cmd in the folder and enter py bot.py

it'll show you the error if there is

[tribal pivot]

Already tried it, no errors

[dusky pine]

could you show your code?

[tender bobcat]

By any chance you forgot to run the bot (ye, Ik it sound stupid but it might happen for anyone

[tribal pivot]

I'm trying to start it, but there's no response

[north kiln]

show ur code

[tender bobcat]

But what's your code

What I'm saying is you might forgot to put bot.run(TOKEN)

[tribal pivot]

There is a token, I even updated it

Well, don't ping me (as stated by my username

Not the case

[hearty matrix]

I'm making a radio bot for discord on the Disnake library and I need to check every 30 seconds whether anyone else is in the voice channel besides the bot, if not, the bot exits

The code I wrote does not work, please help

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands, tasks
from database.sql import add_to_db, select_from_db

class Always(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.loop.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=30)
    async def loop(self, ctx):
        print("loop")
        guild = ctx.guild

        add_to_db(guild.id, "off")

        if select_from_db(guild.id) == "on": pass
        elif select_from_db(guild.id) == "off":
            voice_channel = guild.voice_client
            print(voice_channel)
            print(voice_channel.channel.members)
            if voice_channel and len(voice_channel.channel.members) == 1:
                await voice_channel.disconnect()
def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Always(bot))

[quick gust]

explain, what does "doesnt work" mean

[hearty matrix]

it doesn't do a check and basically doesn't perform a function

[quick gust]

so youre saying it doesnt do anything under elif select_from_db(guild.id) == "off":?

[chilly pumice]

no error
but the command not showing when I write
/help

[hearty matrix]

If the database is On then nothing, but I have it set to Off and it should perform the check

[quick gust]

youll need to show the add_to_db and select_from_db functions. Also suggest printing what select_from_db returns

[chilly pumice]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

orders_channel_id = 1134409324819660840
price = 10

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

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("online")
    try:
        synced = await bot.tree.sync()
        print(f"Synced {len(synced)} commands")
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

@bot.tree.command(name="help", description="Displays help information.")
async def help_command(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("This is the help command.")

why does slash command not working?

[hearty matrix]

At the very beginning of the function there is print("loop") which is also not executed

[quick gust]

Oh I see, you aren't starting the loop

[hearty matrix]

how to start?

[quick gust]

self.loop.start()

in your __init__

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html#recipes

[hearty matrix]

TypeError: Always.loop() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

[quick gust]

you dont need ctx in loop

remove it from your function

[hearty matrix]

How then do I get id, voice_client, channel.members?

[quick gust]

you'll need to figure out how to get the guilds without ctx

one way can be storing the IDs

[quick gust]

you only really need guild

[hearty matrix]

ye

[quick gust]

or you can loop through the guilds the bot is in

idk your exact usecase

[hearty matrix]

Understood, thanks

[tender bobcat]

When did you start the loop?

[quiet drift]

    discord.Bot(command_prefix="*", activity=activity, status=discord.Status.online)

I get this error and at first its a small reconnection time but the time keeps increasing to a point its an issue

any fixes for this?

[hushed galleon]

are there any other messages besides the reconnect and that traceback?

[cedar rain]

nope

[hushed galleon]

my only guess is perhaps your event loop was blocked so it wasnt able to maintain the websocket heartbeat, but normally you'd see a message saying as such

what logging configuration are you using?

[cedar rain]

i am using prints not logging,

[hushed galleon]

but you have a custom logging configuration don't you? ERROR:discord.client:Attempting a reconnect in 944.16s would imply at least basicConfig was used

[cedar rain]

wait i know

my friend changed a part of the code to logging

let me check

[hushed galleon]

blocked event loop would trigger a level WARNING log, so at bare minimum your logging config should have its level= set to that

[cedar rain]

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR)

[hushed galleon]

though i would recommend allowing discord.py to use its default logging setup with level INFO instead, e.g. ```py
discord.utils.setup_logging()
await bot.start()

or, if using bot.run():

bot.run("token", root_logger=True)```

as a bonus you get prettier, colored logs

once you can see INFO logs, wait until you start getting those reconnects and see if there are other messages that show up

[cedar rain]

alright i will try this and contact you if needed

thanks for your help

@hushed galleon

[hushed galleon]

well there you go, fetch_data and send_data are likely blocking your event loop

[cedar rain]

yeah

probably because of the huge amount of data maybe

[hushed galleon]

is it that huge that JSON cant decode it in 20 seconds?

or are you using a non-async library like requests?

[cedar rain]

no i am using asynchronous libs

but its kinda huge

like lets say 50K * 10 lines long

all times

[hushed galleon]

in that case you'll probably need to handle your processing in another thread

!d asyncio.to_thread for example

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.to\_thread

coroutine asyncio.to_thread(func, /, *args, **kwargs)```
Asynchronously run function *func* in a separate thread.

Any \*args and \*\*kwargs supplied for this function are directly passed to *func*. Also, the current [`contextvars.Context`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextvars.html#contextvars.Context) is propagated, allowing context variables from the event loop thread to be accessed in the separate thread.

Return a coroutine that can be awaited to get the eventual result of *func*.

This coroutine function is primarily intended to be used for executing IO-bound functions/methods that would otherwise block the event loop if they were run in the main thread. For example:

[hushed galleon]

well, given the json module is pure-python you might also want to use a faster json library like orjson

!pypi orjson

[unkempt canyon]

orjson v3.10.5

Fast, correct Python JSON library supporting dataclasses, datetimes, and numpy

Released on <t:1718321637:D>.

[cedar rain]

giving this a try

[limber jolt]

Yo idk If this falls In the Discord bots but i made a Webhook sender and Its pretty cool

I used a data Input to send what I typed

[blazing beacon]

good job /srs

[iron gyro]

try

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(...)

if you dont wanna use the extension then you can use the code below but you wont be able to use command prefix

import discord
bot = discord.Client(...)

[boreal sigil]

@hushed galleon what is wrong with this?

[wanton current]

invalid string

[boreal sigil]

which part is incorrect?

[wanton current]

should be title=f"{} {}" not title={}" "{}

[boreal sigil]

yeah

but what what if I want the user mention at the start?

so eg:
@boreal sigil rolled a 8

[boreal sigil]

ohhk

[quick gust]

It should still be what willi said

[boreal sigil]

ok

[wanton current]

your editor should tell you this if you hover over the red line

unexpected token or smth

[boreal sigil]

so this?

@wanton current

[wanton current]

try it

[boreal sigil]

it didnt work

why 😭

[blazing beacon]

error would be helpful

[boreal sigil]

there aint an error

[wanton current]

explain why it doesn't work because this is not helpful

[boreal sigil]

it just sends this: {ctx.author.mention} rolled a {rollnum}

when I do ?roll <number>

it doesnt actually replace {ctx.author.mention} and {rollnum} with the actual stuff

[blazing beacon]

you cant mention in embed titles I think

[boreal sigil]

ohk

ctx.author.nickname?

[wanton current]

or display_name

because sometimes people dont have nicknames

[boreal sigil]

ok

[quick gust]

It didn't replace rollnum either?

[boreal sigil]

nope

[quick gust]

send ss

[boreal sigil]

ok 1 sec

hold on a hot min

now it works?!

[quick gust]

💀

maybe u forgot to save

[boreal sigil]

it was probs author.mention screwing it up

[quick gust]

Mayb

[boreal sigil]

unlikely but maybe

now to make some coinflip code into one that uses images

yo somebody help #1257366636953079818

what is the purpose of @bot.event (they are decorators) are they like comments?

[wanton current]

to register a callback for a specific event

oh so when i create a function under the decorator it will be registered as an event

[wanton current]

yes

there's also bot.listen

    await asyncio.sleep(5)  # Simulate some processing time

    # Edit the initially sent message
    await interaction.channel.edit_message(initial_message.id, content="Edited message")```

And this for dynamic updates

async def on_interaction(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Initial message")
    # Perform some actions or wait for user input
    await asyncio.sleep(10)  # Simulate some processing time

    # Send a new message with updated content
    await interaction.channel.send("Updated message")```

@wanton current so trying to make a coinflip cmd which:

1. when command is ran sends an embed gif of a coinflip animation
2. if its heads sends the heads embed (with heads image)
3. if its tails sends the tails embed (with tails image).
   Ive done 2 and 3, and theyre fine, but 1 doesnt want to work, and causes errors. How can I do this properly!?

btw this was all done using one of my friends code and some knowledge

also I want it to keep the flipping animation for 3 secs, then change it for heads/tails

[quick gust]

there's a lot wrong with your code

[wanton current]

check ur indentation

[boreal sigil]

i could tell

alright - i have a clue as to what it may be

@hushed galleon changed to orjson to pull data but the issue persists

WARNING:discord.gateway:Can't keep up, shard ID None websocket is 54.9s behind.

[boreal sigil]

fixed?

[wanton current]

yes

[boreal sigil]

lovely

praying it works

so

no.

AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'embed'
btw how does one make it so that the embed 'flipping' gets deleted after 3s and then the heads/tails gets sent?

[wanton current]

big E

also tails.set_image instead

[boreal sigil]

ohhk

so change embed for tails/heads/flipping?

in the image line

[hushed galleon]

then yeah, have your blocking functions run in a thread using asyncio.to_thread() or similar

[wanton current]

yes

you need to refer to that specific, and discord.embed is a file /discord/embed.py

[boreal sigil]

oh

so just 'embed'

no discord.

[cedar rain]

could i send you the code so that you may review it

[wanton current]

if you have your embed

tails = discord.Embed()

tails is an instance of discord.Embed.

Then we call the .set_image() method on that instance:

tails.set_image(url="")

[hushed galleon]

if you can send it in this channel sure

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[boreal sigil]

ok also

i was using imgur links but they dont work in the embed - never load.
how can I use local files instead?
this doesnt work.

[cedar rain]

400
Highlighted text exceeds size limit (512 kB)

[wanton current]

file = discord.File(fp="/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")
embed = discord.Embed()
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")

await ctx.send(embed=embed, file=file)

[cedar rain]

Hey @ʙᴀɴᴅɪᴛ!
It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

[boreal sigil]

alright

[hushed galleon]

can you try to cut down the file? e.g. removing unrelated commands

[cedar rain]

its 3000 line long

[boreal sigil]

next, how does one make it so that the embed 'flipping' gets deleted after 3s and then the heads/tails gets sent?

[boreal sigil]

0.0

[hushed galleon]

for imgur you need to use the raw image links, e.g. https://i.imgur.com/MS6KS6w.gif instead of https://imgur.com/a/uPvYrKR

[wanton current]

do you want to delete and send, or edit?

[boreal sigil]

ohhhhh

ill do that instead ty lmao

[boreal sigil]

edit ideally

[wanton current]

then do

msg = await ctx.send()

# and then
await msg.edit()

[hushed galleon]

@cedar rain please delete your webhook (including in discord) so others cant use it

[cedar rain]

there are some stuffs i am not very comfortable sharing, this code was written by multiple people so i dont even know where some stuffs are thats why it would be very helpfull if i can share this in private

[boreal sigil]

still doesnt work

ohhh

the a/

[cedar rain]

anyways if u have it please review it

deleting webhook should not be an issue

[boreal sigil]

but embed: 'flipping' still didnt work so how tf

uuh

[hushed galleon]

tacking on .png isn't enough, the image name itself might be different from the post link too

[boreal sigil]

yeah probs realised that

[hushed galleon]

can you right click the image and copy the image link directly?

[boreal sigil]

in discord?

or imgur i was stupid

yeah i found my issue

[cedar rain]

@hushed galleon can you suggest some changes?

[cosmic solstice]

Hi

How can i start learning Python

[boreal sigil]

what do you want to do in python?

[cosmic solstice]

Just learning

Idk my major is in business

And i want to develop sth and learn sth new

And i heard python is easy

[boreal sigil]

HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message

i missed the point didnt i

[wanton current]

yes

[hushed galleon]

there is indeed a lot of code, would highly recommend refactoring and grouping functionality into separate files so it's easier to navigate through it

no obvious indication of where it's blocking though

[boreal sigil]

do i change msg for flipping?

[wanton current]

you're supposed to do it to your first ctx.send

and then in your if/else you do edit instead of send

[boreal sigil]

ohhhhh

okie dokes

[wanton current]

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/ (official tutorial)

[cedar rain]

will be a long day i guess

[cosmic solstice]

Thanks i will take a look

[boreal sigil]

do I change the ctx.send(embed=flipping) for msg = await ctx.send()

[cosmic solstice]

So you are an python profitional? @wanton current

[boreal sigil]

If you want a certain thing, read the docs for it. the docs are the most important thing out there

[wanton current]

yes

[boreal sigil]

alright

[wanton current]

professional or proficient?

[boreal sigil]

that was my new issue

[meager fable]

@client.tree.command(name = "shutdown", description = "Shuts down the bot.")
async def shutdown(interaction: discord.Interaction):
  await interaction.response.send_message("Shutting down the bot!")
  await client.close()

does anyone know what's wrong with this? The console said that the command is synced but it doesn't appear in my server

[boreal sigil]

so this?

edit: no. didnt work and got HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message

[cosmic solstice]

Professional *

[wanton current]

not really no, depending on what your definition of professional is

[wanton current]

you need to specify what do edit, so in this case .edit(embed=heads)

[hushed galleon]

its easier to get help from others if you can publicly share relevant portions of your code, and possibly include an overview of what the bot does and how your functions are used

[boreal sigil]

ahhhhhh ok

[hushed galleon]

does it show up if you restart or Ctrl+R reload your discord application? there's a long standing bug with users not seeing new slash commands

[cosmic solstice]

You are learning python for what is it your major IT or new skill?

[wanton current]

i've just been programming for fun for 4 years

[meager fable]

oh

that actually worked

thank you!

[cosmic solstice]

WOW

How did u start?

[wanton current]

wanted to make a discord bot lol

[cosmic solstice]

This is yours?

[wanton current]

what is

[cosmic solstice]

The bot

[cedar rain]

thing is it was working fine for months before i srarted getting this issue just a few weeks ago

[wanton current]

which one

[cosmic solstice]

The one we are talking in rn

[wanton current]

are we talking in a discord bot

[cosmic solstice]

This chat and group

[hushed galleon]

also dont forget to put some owner check in this command and/or sync it to a private server so other people cant shutdown your bot

[meager fable]

oh yeah for sure

I was just testing things

[cedar rain]

it worked for 2-3 days without any issue but it wont just work for 6 hrs straight now

[cosmic solstice]

Yeah it gave me that we are in Discord-bots

[wanton current]

yeah, it's a channel

@unkempt canyon is a bot

[meager fable]

broo dpy is a lot easier than djs 😭

[wanton current]

not mine though

[wanton current]

d.js just seems like a thin api request wrapper

[hushed galleon]

was that around the same time your peer added the basicConfig logging? it could be that it was always an issue, but the error messages werent being logged

[meager fable]

djs feels like a whole obstacle course

[cosmic solstice]

Oh ok, excuse me im new to discord groups and channels🙂

[cedar rain]

perhaps that might have been the case

[wanton current]

it's ok

[wanton current]

yeah i've tried it

[meager fable]

I got mislead by articles saying djs is easier 😔

[wanton current]

depends on who you ask ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[meager fable]

I guess, people who has more experience with js will probably choose djs

[wanton current]

yeah that's only natural

[spring rampart]

is developing a simple discord bot with python like a multiple weeks or multiple days kinda thing??

[wanton current]

depends on what you consider simple and how much experience you have

[meager fable]

and what you plan to do

[spring rampart]

i dont have much experience making discord bots but im alright at python

[meager fable]

it can take anywhere from a few hours to months

[meager fable]

you should be fine then

[spring rampart]

a simple discord bot for me i jus mean like a ban system and like a very simple moderation system basically

[wanton current]

shouldn't be very hard then

[spring rampart]

ohh nice

thanks

[wanton current]

you can always ask for help here or in the server of the library you're using :)

[spring rampart]

yehh

im not the best at python i might need to do that at some point lol

[wanton current]

That's fine as long as you're enthusiastic about the thing you're making imo

[spring rampart]

mhm mhm

[meager fable]

I still can't believe I can make buttons this easily

[wanton current]

lol

views my beloved <3
