discord.Client is only a class, and most methods you cannot call on classes directly, you need the actual client/bot object that you defined, for example: ```py
bot = commands.Bot(...) # an instance of Bot

@bot.tree.command()
async def post(interaction: discord.Interaction):
# Using the bot instance to get a particular channel:
channel = bot.get_channel(1234)
modal = PostModal(channel)
await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)

class PostModal(discord.ui.Modal, title="Make a post"):
content = discord.ui.TextInput(label="Something to post")

# Allow the modal to be given a channel object:
def __init__(self, channel: discord.TextChannel):
    super().__init__()
    self.channel = channel

async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
    await self.channel.send(self.content.value)```

button decorators receive a Button object too, so you need a 3rd parameter for it: py class MyView(discord.ui.View): @discord.ui.button(...) async def my_button(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button): ...

[chilly pumice]

thx

[boreal sigil]

hey so i tried to make a mute command but had no clue. how can one do this stuff?

Im basically looking for an example

[hushed galleon]

the old fashioned way of doing mutes was adding a Muted role to the user with their send permissions disabled in every channel, but nowadays discord has a native timeout feature that's much easier to use

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta).

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit).

[boreal sigil]

yeah i want to use the native one

do u have some like full example code for it? the time stuff confuses me

everything else is fine tbh

[hushed galleon]

like you're wondering how to create timedeltas?

!d datetime.timedelta < you can pass the number of seconds, minutes, days, etc.

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timedelta

class datetime.timedelta(days=0, seconds=0, microseconds=0, milliseconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, weeks=0)```
All arguments are optional and default to 0. Arguments may be integers or floats, and may be positive or negative.

Only *days*, *seconds* and *microseconds* are stored internally. Arguments are converted to those units...

[boreal sigil]

so basically I want to focus on the bolded bit below:
hybrid cmd btw
/mute <user> <time> <reason>

[hushed galleon]

the easiest option would be letting them input a single unit like N hours, but you might want to write a custom converter if you're looking for a more flexible notation like 28d or 4h30m

[wanton current]

there's also a library called dateparser that basically allows anything in any language and can convert it to a datetime.datetime object

[boreal sigil]

im mostly looking for the latter

also quick question -

how can i add a description for a slash command / hybrid cmd

[hushed galleon]

^ i used this for my reminders system, but it's a bit more complex since interpreting absolute times would be ambiguous unless the user provides their timezone

[wanton current]

i guess

[hushed galleon]

i think both can share the same docstring? e.g. ```py
@bot.hybrid_command()
async def greet(ctx, member: discord.Member):
"""Send a randomized greeting to a member.

:param member: The member to greet.

"""```

[boreal sigil]

alright

wait im slightly confused

so if i wanted to incorporate it into this

# RNG
import random
@bot.hybrid_command()
async def roll(ctx, num: int):
    rollnum = random.randint(1, num)
    rng = discord.Embed(title=f"{ctx.author.display_name} rolled a {rollnum}",
                      colour=0x00f5f1)

    await ctx.send(embed=rng)

[wanton current]

can also use describe for params, if you put it below the hybrid_command decorator

[boreal sigil]

alr

where does one put the line that has the description?

like inbetween what bits

[lean juniper]

how do i use aliases in cog files

[fast osprey]

Same way you'd use them anywhere else, it's a parameter in the command decorator

[lean juniper]

i spelled aliases wrong oh my god

[boreal sigil]

done that - can you send me an example for a mute command?

[hushed galleon]

the command itself shouldnt be that complicated since Member.timeout() already does half of the work, but for writing a time converter you should look at:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#advanced-converters
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#typing-annotated
a converter using regex might look like: ```py
class TimedeltaConverter(commands.Converter):
async def convert(self, ctx: commands.Context, arg: str) -> datetime.timedelta:
seconds = 0
# Look for substrings like 10s, 3h, 5d, etc.
for match in re.finditer(r"(\d+)([smhd])", arg):
value, unit = match[1], match[2]
if unit == "s":
seconds += value
... # repeat for m, h, d
return datetime.timedelta(seconds=seconds)

timedelta = Annotated[datetime.timedelta, TimedeltaConverter]

@bot.hybrid_command()
async def alarm(ctx, time: timedelta):
seconds = time.total_seconds()
await asyncio.sleep(seconds)
await ctx.reply(f"Wake up {ctx.author.mention}! Your country needs you!")``` though im not entirely sure if hybrid_command() supports Annotated[] for its slash counterpart

[lean juniper]

this is only for one server now but i want to make a boolean that tells the bot when a game as started or not. i made a start_game command and was wondering if i should initialize the boolean in the main file or the start_game command file. then once the boolean is there i want to have an event listener activate. should i create a separate event listener file in my cogs folder for that or not, and if not, where should i put the event listener

[wraith zinc]

Hey everyone! I’m in a little bit of a pinch here! I run a sports betting discord and we have multiple bots that we had a developer build.

Unfortunately he has not responded to us today and we need to get the bots back up and running!

This is the error we are receiving when we try to start the bot. I know nothing about coding and would love to be pointed in the right direction to find help asap! Thanks!

[fast osprey]

Are you betting with fiat or crypto?

[lean juniper]

wat is RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[willow sluice]

hi guys i have a question about slash commands
is it possible to display a slash command only for a specific user? i mean display, not checking for permissions

so that user wouldn’t see it and he wouldn’t even have the opportunity to call it

[meager fable]

is the bot variable the same with the client variable as some other people name it?

or is it something entirely different

[hushed galleon]

sure, conventionally discord.Client() and commands.Bot() are assigned to the variables client or bot, but variables are just names anyway, what matters is the actual object/instance you assigned to them

[tender bobcat]

Do you know the server and have admin permission on that server?

(this can in some level restricted some user from seeing the command in the server, but doesn't prevent anyone with admin permission in the server from seeing the command

your modal's __init__ accepts 2 arguments, while you're only passing in one

[meager fable]

oh yeahhh

alright thank you!

[sick birch]

do other commands work

can you show full code

i think what's happening is there is an error but it's getting eaten by the error handler

    @banner.error
    async def banner_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):

            await ctx.send(embed=embed)
+       else:
+           raise error

did you put a print in the command

maybe try a print statement in the error to see if it's working as well

first line directly under function, not in if statement

inside the error function? does it run?

oh the print statement inside the error function runs?

that means there's an error. try removing the error handler temporarily, run your code and see what it spits out

do you also have a global error handler?

you have to mention them roles

!d discord.Role.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.mention

property mention```

[meager fable]

on the topic of roles, how do you add a specific role to a user?

[upbeat otter]

yes

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

await add_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role)s.

You must have [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles) to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role)s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[upbeat otter]

access the roles individually

yes that Or a list comprehension

use a for loop then

list comps just look cleaner

[quick gust]

thats a for loop yes

[upbeat otter]

mhm

You're gonna get bullied in this channel if you say you don't know python

why not make a bot in js

djs is pretty fine too

[meager fable]

djs is so confusing

[upbeat otter]

well it is

wouldn't even personally use it

and thats against the TOS so it's shit

discord.Guild is a class

you need an object

it can if your bot haz admin perm

it doesn't matter

show code

OHHHH

sweeet it works now

now, how do I make the modal close when I hit submit

it says something went wrong even when the operation succeeded

[fast osprey]

You have to respond to the submit interaction

[fast osprey]

The only people I have seen say that are folks who want to be spoonfed code for every library method and can't translate a signature into an informed try

Also unclear what you mean by "the gui"

[dry kelp]

How can we fetch the member server banner from profile? If there's a server profile setup.

using disnake library

[timber dragon]

You cannot get the server specific banner from the api

[fast osprey]

Without constructive criticism on what exactly is lacking, this just comes off as a skill issue

[timber dragon]

The overhaul was 6 or so years ago, feel free to suggest ways to improve it in the server (.gg/dpy)

No one that complains has ever given valid advice and it always results in the user not knowing python and the basic terminologies.

Then suggest ways to improve it?

[fast osprey]

They are not designed to handhold people who do not have the skills necessary to use the library well in the first place

Not really ironic as the language itself has nothing to do with niche library use cases

Python being human readable does not translate into everything you can do with it being simple to learn

[dry kelp]

So how can i fetch the server profile banner?

wait

sorry , i mean member banner from server profile

i saw a bot that can fetch either user profile banner or server profile banner

[timber dragon]

Not a thing in the api

[dry kelp]

Ah i see, thanks a lot.

[timber dragon]

Well not for bots

[fast osprey]

There is a folder in the examples of the repo for views which can help

[timber dragon]

!d discord.User.public_flags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.public\_flags

property public_flags```
The publicly available flags the user has.

discord.Member.flags

property flags```
Returns the member’s flags.

New in version 2.2.

[timber dragon]

That's guild specific yes

Just like you did for status, you can create a mapping of https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.UserFlags and the emoji

Something like

badges_map = {
    discord.UserFlags.verified: "lol",
    ...
}
badges = [
    badges_map.get(f, "Unknown")
    for f in user.public_flags.all()
]
...

Yup

You can use str.join directly too but eh

It takes an iterable

So you don't need to pass it a list

I got a server like that where you can add your bot to

It's at [REDACTED]

Oop that got a little delay

Handled.

I guess it will return False when not dismissed

Not really

Idk what promo it's about but not dismissing it doesn't mean the user got nitro

They could've dismissed some years ago

[fast osprey]

There is no accurate way of determining nitro afaik

They deliberately do not expose that in the api

[timber dragon]

You can check a couple of stuff to determine whether the user has nitro:

• avatar decoration
• banner
• animated avatar
• animated emoji in custom status
• is boosting
• probably more

[fast osprey]

You can try to detect nitro features, which a) will break if those features ever become base and b) won't work if they choose not to use those features

[timber dragon]

They don't bots to provide nitro exclusive features afaik

But instead let them pay separately via their monetization system

Snatching nitro codes? That's definitely against some rule

I doubt you can generate them
Iirc tools like that go through each combination until a valid one is found

[fast osprey]

The existence of bigger problems does not make it ethical to cause smaller problems

You mean brute forcing a service to deprive it of revenue? No issue?

I'm not sure why you're bringing up other issues to try and justify yours

Very weird line

[charred island]

nitro generation has been debunked and it indeed is not possible

actual generation of the codes is not illegal, but the checking of them is

[unkempt canyon]

discord.SKUFlags.user\_subscription

Returns True if the SKU is a user subscription.

[fast osprey]

These are all guesses

[pearl bough]

What exactly are you trying to do here?

[fast osprey]

Something being right doesn't make it not a guess

[pearl bough]

As in, nitro or not nitro?

oh interesting, it doesn't expose the profile to the bot so you can't see it

[fast osprey]

Nitro specifically is not a user flag that the api exposes to bots

[fast osprey]

^

All of those are things you could check

And all of them, even combined, will give false negatives

That would be a false positive

[pearl bough]

Do you know the difference between a false positive and false negative?

False positive -> Bot thinks user has nitro, but they don't
False negative -> Bot dosen't think the user has nitro, but they do

[merry cliff]

can't you pay for a boost without having nitro?

[pearl bough]

Therefore you could get a false positive if you're checking by boosts

[fast osprey]

You could get both false positives and false negatives. This is probably the worst of the above options even. And even then, you don't have to pick just one when it can be a giant OR of guesses

The deal here is that all you can do is guess. Up to you how much this actually matters, or how important it is that it'll just be wrong sometimes

[slate swan]

I'm making a command that's going to make a request to an api that returns item names. I want to make auto completion with these items. The issue is items are added and removed, is there a way to call the api then update the auto completion with those results?

[fast osprey]

Depending on rate limits and how slow the api is, you may wish to cache these results

[slate swan]

Rate limits aren't an issue. The api also isn't really slow.

But is it possible to do what I'm asking

[fast osprey]

Yes

[slate swan]

Do you know of any examples I could base it off of

[fast osprey]

Autocomplete just wants you to return a list of choices. Discord doesn't care how you make/get them as long as it takes less than 3 seconds

[slate swan]

Alrighty thanks

[slate swan]

I haven't used dpy in a while so I don't remember how to do this

This is my code

Just host it on free bot hosting services

Use dires hosting

I host my bot on it

Don't worry just remove access from them

Still won't worth it!

[meager fable]

Hi! What's the best way to host a discord bot for free 24/7?

[scarlet tiger]

I do not recommend a free hosting because it has a lousy maintenance in most cases.

Some services offer a free trial, for example Digital Ocean

no

this is how I do it in my cog:

        str(self)
        if isinstance(error, app_commands.CommandInvokeError):

        elif isinstance(error, app_commands.CheckFailure):

        else:
            pass
        traceback.print_exception(error, file=sys.stderr)

[timber dragon]

ya that's perfect

[timber dragon]

that's a cog specific app commands handler there is no on_app_command_error event and neither is what the user sent above a cog

[opal vortex]

actually I think there is.

[shrewd cradle]

hey why does my app commands (slash command) does not show up in my server?

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"bot is up - {bot.user}")
    try:
        synced = await bot.tree.sync()
        print(f"synced {len(synced)}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

@bot.tree.command(name="sup")
async def sup(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("wsg", ephemeral=True)

@bot.tree.command(name="say")
@app_commands.describe(arg = "what to say")
async def say(interaction: discord.Interaction, arg : str):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"cool {arg}")

[timber dragon]

no there is not in discord.py
there is the on_error method on the CommandTree and cog_app_command_error as a special method for app commands in a cog

[timber dragon]

have you tried reloading your client? ctrl + r

[wheat thunder]

Hello, may I ask about AbstractClass and Cog?

import abc
from discord.ext.commands import CogMeta, Cog


class CogABCMeta(CogMeta, abc.ABCMeta):
    pass


class AbstractCog(Cog, metaclass=CogABCMeta):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__()
        self.bot = bot

    @abc.abstractmethod
    async def on_ready(self):
        pass

    @classmethod
    def get_cogs(cls):
        return cls.__subclasses__()

I tried making Cog an abstract class, and I intended to get its subclasses by using cls.subclasses().
However, it's returning an empty list. I'm wondering why...

ABC and its subclasses worked correctly with cls.subclasses(), so I suspect it might be a metaclass issue.

[wheat thunder]

Resolved: This was an issue with import.

Solved by making the parent aware of the child's existence by importing inside init.py

@wanton current Im stuck on how I can turn this into an actual mute command.

@commands.has_permissions(moderate_members=True)
@bot.hybrid_command()
async def mute(ctx, user: discord.User, *, reason="***No reason provided.***"):

        seconds = 0
        # Look for substrings like 10s, 3h, 5d, etc.
        for match in re.finditer(r"(\d+)([smhd])", arg):
            value, unit = match[1], match[2]
            if unit == "s":
                seconds += value
            ...  # repeat for m, h, d
        return datetime.timedelta(seconds=seconds)

[wanton current]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wanton current]

?

[copper flume]

how do i fix

[boreal sigil]

like i have that stuff so far but i have no clue as how to actually make it mute people and know how long for

[copper flume]

actually im also facing issues with my firewalls

i denied port 3000 anywhere but still it is open

[wanton current]

that is out of scope of this channel

[wanton current]

you can typehint with the converter

that you made

[boreal sigil]

what is typehint 😭

its type hint

!d type hint

[unkempt canyon]

type hint

An annotation that specifies the expected type for a variable, a class attribute, or a function parameter or return value.

Type hints are optional and are not enforced by Python but they are useful to static type checkers. They can also aid IDEs with code completion and refactoring.

Type hints of global variables, class attributes, and functions, but not local variables, can be accessed using typing.get_type_hints().

See typing and PEP 484, which describe this functionality.

[boreal sigil]

how tf do i use this stuff tho 😭

[opal vortex]

name the type hints *.pyi

[boreal sigil]

what type hints file

[opal vortex]

the * represents the name of the file you want to type hint.

[boreal sigil]

im so confused am i supposed to have a file?

[opal vortex]

and you need another empty file as well

yes

py.typed is needed it seems as well

[boreal sigil]

btw how

[opal vortex]

not sure why when I can do only pyi files.

[opal vortex]

import re

[boreal sigil]

I just want a basic timeout cmd 😭

[boreal sigil]

ty

[wanton current]

what

typehints != stub files

[boreal sigil]

is this defo the best way to do a timeout command?

[mild token]

await interaction.followup.send(content=f'{staff_role.mention}', file=file, embed=embed, allowed_mentions=discord.AllowedMentions(roles=[staff_role]))

i have role but not getting pined why?

[wanton current]

wdym

[boreal sigil]

like is this the simplest way to make a timeout command 😭

[wanton current]

not really

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta).

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit).

[mild token]

why this is not mentioning?

[opal vortex]

I am saying that python allows you to move your typehints out of the py file and into a pyi file.

that then pycharm and other checkers support as well.

[wanton current]

A stub file is a file containing a skeleton of the public interface of that Python module, including classes, variables, functions – and most importantly, their types.

[mild token]

is there a way to send user to differnet channel via bot

I am trying to populate a Select Menu by using a for loop to take options from a list, but it seems this isn't the proper way to do it, as it won't run.

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this properly?

[finite salmon]

You could just make a separate loop outside the list and append to it. But if you really want a list comprehension you can do something like this

options = [discord.SelectOption(label=option[0], value=option[1]) for option in optionList]

[echo sluice]

Ah, thanks. I got stuck on this and forgot about appending 😅
So a simpler way would be something like this, then

    optionList = open("optionList.txt", "r")
    options = []
    for option in optionList:
        options.append(discord.SelectOption(label=option[0], value=option[1]))```

Cog code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/52GQ
Main code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/Z5RA

Issue is the slash command isn't being synced

[golden portal]

where's the part that you ran that sync method

[slate swan]

import discord, json, user_agent, requests, re, typing
from discord.ext.commands import *
from discord import app_commands
from element.bot import Bot

class Sync(Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot):

        self.bot = bot

    @command()
    async def sync(self, ctx):
        fmt = await self.bot.tree.sync(guild=ctx.guild)
        
        await ctx.send(f"Synced {len(fmt)}")
        

async def setup(bot: Bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Sync(bot))```

When ran is says "Synced 0"

[golden portal]

none of your slash command is guild specific, all of it is global, thats why its 0, use copy_global_to before running the tree.sync

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.copy_global_to

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.copy\_global\_to

copy_global_to(*, guild)```
Copies all global commands to the specified guild.

This method is mainly available for development purposes, as it allows you to copy your global commands over to a testing guild easily.

Note that this method will *override* pre-existing guild commands that would conflict.

[slate swan]

Is there a way I can just automatically sync all commands globally with a single command

rather than sync having to be ran in each guild

[golden portal]

sync it globally, remove guild=ctx.guild

[slate swan]

And it should work or do I still need to do copy_global_to

[golden portal]

you dont need copy global, thats only if you want to sync to a specific guild for a global slash command

[slate swan]

Alright it's working, I appreciate it g

the item variable is returning the value of the selected choice. How could I get the name of the selected choice aswell?

Try reloading your discord client

ctrl r

[wheat thunder]

in terminal?

[timber dragon]

On discord

The app you're using currently

[wheat thunder]

TY! I had no idea this even existed.

[timber dragon]

It usually refreshes them itself but always try it when it doesn't

[wheat thunder]

But I have another issue

Why my bot try to load cogs already loaded..?

[timber dragon]

Duplicates in your list maybe?

You shouldn't sync on startup btw and not at all in on_ready

[wheat thunder]

I already print cog list
['app.cogs.event_cog', 'app.cogs.dialogue_cog']

[wheat thunder]

load cogs after on_ready or setup_hook? using method?

[wheat thunder]

# __init__.py
from . import abstract_cog, event_cog, dialogue_cog

this line is problem

import abc
from discord.ext.commands import CogMeta, Cog, Bot
import inspect
from pathlib import Path


class CogABCMeta(CogMeta, abc.ABCMeta):
    pass


class AbstractCog(Cog, metaclass=CogABCMeta):
    _cog_registry: list[str] = []

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

    def __init_subclass__(cls) -> None:
        super().__init_subclass__()
        file_path = f"app.cogs.{Path(inspect.getfile(cls)).stem}"
        AbstractCog._cog_registry.append(file_path)

    @classmethod
    def get_cogs(cls) -> list[str]:
        return cls._cog_registry

This class uses the above lines of code to facilitate easy discovery of each Cog.

The issue seems to lie within this code.
However, removing this line would cause get_cogs to fail to recognize other classes and return an empty list.\

[timber dragon]

You could just use pkgutil/__init__ here

The stdlib module pkgutil, specifically its iter_modules function, makes finding modules easy.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/pkgutil.html#pkgutil.iter_modules

Instead of using os.listdir or pathlib.Path.iterdir, you can use pkgutil.iter_modules to find only python modules and not even worry about the .py extension.
You can even provide a prefix so it will automatically prefix the name with something that resembles the import path of the module.
For the purpose of loading dpy extensions, we really only care about the import name, so that's all we'll get from the namedtuple in these examples.
For example:

>>> [m.name for m in iter_modules(['cogs'])]
['game', 'moderation']
>>> [m.name for m in iter_modules(['cogs'], prefix='cogs.')]
['cogs.game', 'cogs.moderation']

You can make this further hands-off by making a __init__.py in your cogs folder and using the helpful __path__ and __package__ module attributes.
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#import-related-module-attributes

from pkgutil import iter_modules
EXTENSIONS = [module.name for module in iter_modules(__path__, f'{__package__}.')]
```And make use of this in your main/bot file:
```py
from cogs import EXTENSIONS

for extension in EXTENSIONS:
    await bot.load_extension(extension)

[wheat thunder]

from pkgutil import iter_modules

EXTENSIONS = [
    module.name
    for module in iter_modules(__path__, f"{__package__}.")
    if "abstract_cog" not in module.name
]

---

    async def load_cogs(self):
        for cog in EXTENSIONS:
            try:
                await self.load_extension(cog)
                self.logger.info(f"{cog} is loaded successfully")
            except Exception as e:
                self.logger.error(f"Failed to load cog: {cog}")
                self.logger.error(f"{e}")

Much easier

If you are not busy now, can I have a another discussion about data storing?

[boreal sigil]

hey @timber dragon do you have any code for a timeout command?
this is what I have so far.

# MUTE CMD
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import datetime
import re
@commands.has_permissions(moderate_members=True)
@bot.hybrid_command()
async def mute(ctx, user: discord.User, *, reason="***No reason provided.***"):
        """ Mutes a user """
class TimedeltaConverter(commands.Converter):
    async def convert(self, ctx: commands.Context, arg: str) -> datetime.timedelta:
        seconds = 0
        # Look for substrings like 10s, 3h, 5d, etc.
        for match in re.finditer(r"(\d+)([smhd])", arg):
            value, unit = match[1], match[2]
            if unit == "s":
                seconds += value
            ...  # repeat for m, h, d
        return datetime.timedelta(seconds=seconds)

[mild token]

is it possible to reinvoke application command?

[boreal sigil]

do you have a sync command which sync the slash commands?

[mild token]

sorry i have not made that

[boreal sigil]

do you want some code for it?

[mild token]

not really 😅

[boreal sigil]

alr

welp

unless you make some code for a sync command, there aint a way to get slash commands from ur code into discord

[upbeat otter]

you can only time out a member and not a user
also, why not just use a modal for easier time inputs

[boreal sigil]

idk

its what some1 else on here told me to use

[boreal sigil]

ok ty

[mild token]

modal have time? one

[upbeat otter]

in their use case modals will provide easier and more accurate inputs

[mild token]

hmm

[boreal sigil]

so my question is

1. how can i use the code I have to actually timeout members?
   what do i need to add
2. if not, can you send me some simpler code I can use?
   pls ty

hey guys!
this is my code for an unhide command. it works well at unhiding the channel (when its hidden) but i recently added some code so that if its already hidden it sends an error embed. this doesnt work, and i dont know why.
code:

# UNHIDE CMD
@bot.hybrid_command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def unhide(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel=None):
    """ Unhides the channel the command is used in, or a specified channel """
    overwrite = ctx.channel.overwrites_for(ctx.guild.default_role)
    overwrite.view_channel = True
    await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    unhide = discord.Embed(title="Channel Unhidden", description=f"The channel has been Unhidden!",
                        colour=0x00b8f5)
    await ctx.send(embed=unhide)
    try:
        entry = await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    except discord.NotFound:
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=nothidden)
        nothidden = discord.Embed(title="Error!", description=f"The channel isn't hidden!",
                        colour=0xf208)
@lock.error
async def unhide_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error,commands.CheckFailure):
        await ctx.send('You do not have permission to use this command!')

[boreal sigil]

@wanton current can u help me w/ this?

[slate swan]

You are sending something that doesn't exist and then define it

your program doesnt know what "nothidden" is until you define it, so the program doesn't know what to exactly send, this should result in an exception and possibly an Unbound warning if im correct

so you just have to define "nothidden" before sending a message

[boreal sigil]

how does one do that?

[slate swan]

you just have to place nothidden variable before sending a message to a channel

then your program will know what to actually send

by placing variable I meant variable along with the value

[boreal sigil]

alrighty

[boreal sigil]

is this fixed now?

# UNHIDE CMD
@bot.hybrid_command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def unhide(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel=None):
    """ Unhides the channel the command is used in, or a specified channel """
    overwrite = ctx.channel.overwrites_for(ctx.guild.default_role)
    overwrite.view_channel = True
    await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    unhide = discord.Embed(title="Channel Unhidden", description=f"The channel has been Unhidden!",
                        colour=0x00b8f5)
    await ctx.send(embed=unhide)
    try:
        entry = await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    except discord.NotFound:
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=discord.Embed(nothidden))
        nothidden = discord.Embed(title="Error!", description=f"The channel isn't hidden!",
                        colour=0xf208)
@lock.error
async def unhide_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error,commands.CheckFailure):
        await ctx.send('You do not have permission to use this command!')

[slate swan]

Nope, the thing you had before was correct

[boreal sigil]

then why did it not work

[slate swan]

you just had to move definition of nothidden before await ctx.channel.send(...)

[boreal sigil]

ohhhhh

okie dokes

so i put this:

        nothidden = discord.Embed(title="Error!", description=f"The channel isn't hidden!",
                        colour=0xf208)

before the try:

@slate swan still not working

# UNHIDE CMD
@bot.hybrid_command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def unhide(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel=None):
    """ Unhides the channel the command is used in, or a specified channel """
    overwrite = ctx.channel.overwrites_for(ctx.guild.default_role)
    overwrite.view_channel = True
    await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    unhide = discord.Embed(title="Channel Unhidden", description=f"The channel has been Unhidden!",
                        colour=0x00b8f5)
    await ctx.send(embed=unhide)
    nothidden = discord.Embed(title="Error!", description=f"The channel isn't hidden!",
                        colour=0xf208)
    try:
        entry = await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    except discord.NotFound:
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=nothidden)
@lock.error
async def unhide_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error,commands.CheckFailure):
        await ctx.send('You do not have permission to use this command!')

[slate swan]

and what is the current problem?

[boreal sigil]

it doesnt send the embed nothidden

just sends the embed: 'unhide'

[slate swan]

wait

then it seems like everything works correctly

discord.NotFound in this scenario is raised when "The role or member being edited is not part of the guild." as stated by docs

[boreal sigil]

uuh

its supposed to happen when the @ everyone has view_channel perms at true

or like whatever it is

when everyone has true view_channel

it sends nothidden

so if the channel isnt hidden to everyone, it sends nothidden when the command is used

[slate swan]

Then you have to get the channel's overwrites like on the beginning of your code, then make an "if check" to check if the "everyone" role (default_role) has view_channel permission. If it does then send your "nothidden" embed and make an early return

overwrites_for_role = ...

if overwrites_for_role.view_channel is True:
  # Send nothidden embed here
  # and return early
  return

overwrites_for_role.view_channel = True
# Rest of the logic

[boreal sigil]

so i change:

   try:
        entry = await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    except discord.NotFound:
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=nothidden)

for:

if overwrites_for_role.view_channel is True:
  # Send nothidden embed here
  # and return early
  return

overwrites_for_role.view_channel = True
# Rest of the logic

[slate swan]

yeah but make sure it works with your code so rename the variable overwrites_for_role to match your variable name

and in the rest of logic you can set the permissions like here

[boreal sigil]

what is the variable name?

or where do i find it

[slate swan]

you tell me

[boreal sigil]

overwrite?

[slate swan]

yeah

[boreal sigil]

great

im not that stupid at least

i am not doing tis right

[wheat thunder]

I want to receive two forms of input with a single slash command.

Could you tell me how to implement this? Or is there an issue with my design?

[boreal sigil]

i did not do this correctly

fml

[slate swan]

you placed the "if" check outside of the function

[boreal sigil]

[slate swan]

look at the indentation

[boreal sigil]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

that bit has been fixed at least

[slate swan]

also you should place it before setting view_channel permission to True, but after defining overwrites variable

so it should be in-between those 2

[boreal sigil]

so where the red line is?

[slate swan]

yeah, but you will also to place definition of nothidden embed in that if check

so the program knows about it and knows what should be sent

so like

if overwrite.view_channel is True:
  # 1) Define "nothidden" embed here
  # 2) Send the "nothidden" embed
  # 3) Preform an early return

[vocal laurel]

unrelated but @lock.error seems wrong instead should be @unhide.error

[boreal sigil]

wait is it not already like that?

[slate swan]

True, I haven't touched that since I thought it refers to a different command

[boreal sigil]

this is gonna sound stupid but how tf do I define it

[vocal laurel]

... = discord.Embed()

[slate swan]

just like a normal variable

x = 3

[boreal sigil]

yeah mb gonna do that now

[faint sapphire]

hi, tryna change an ephemeral view that has a message, and remove that message:
await interaction.response.edit_message('', view=None)
I pass an empty string, but that doesnt work

[boreal sigil]

so:

nothidden = discord.Embed()

[vocal laurel]

yes

[vocal laurel]

you want just the view to send?

[boreal sigil]

got this so far

[vocal laurel]

you can remove the is True since that is default

[slate swan]

let's do it in small parts

[boreal sigil]

ill just leave it since it doesnt affect anything

[boreal sigil]

yes please thank you

[vocal laurel]

Helps to make code cleaner

[slate swan]

first define how your emed should look like, you can pass a title as an argument, a description and a colour

[vocal laurel]

however lets continue with what Ray is saying

[boreal sigil]

idrc bout that at this point lmao

[boreal sigil]

done that pretty sure

[slate swan]

nope, that is an empty embed

[vocal laurel]

you have only defined it as an embed

[boreal sigil]

so wtf is a full embed

[vocal laurel]

where you put in information

[slate swan]

you can actually copy that part and replace nothidden embed inside of the "if check" with the copied embed

since the program runs, it reads that line which you hovered and then it knows what "nothidden" is, then if the check is True, the "nothidden" is overriden

[boreal sigil]

so this then?

[boreal sigil]

alright

i need to remove the earlier bit

done that

[vocal laurel]

also as a side note, since you are doing an if statement checking if the channel is not hidden, you should do it before trying to make the channel unhidden

if that makes sense

[boreal sigil]

uuh

ohhh

ok

[vocal laurel]

since you are doing overwrite.view_channel = True then the if statement will always trigger even if the channel wasn't hidden

[boreal sigil]

i did this wrong

[vocal laurel]

you have to indent

[boreal sigil]

indent more? ok

how much do i indent

[vocal laurel]

indent the 3 lines after the if statement

[vocal laurel]

looks right except for the 2 lines above @unhide.error

[slate swan]

now someone executes the command, the program first reads the "if check"

if overwrite.view_channel is True

it does not know what "overwrite" is

[vocal laurel]

Sorry, that is my bad

[boreal sigil]

it does not know what "overwrite" is
i thought?...

[slate swan]

as I said ealier, you have to place this if check in between of those 2 (Image below)

Why? Because then the program will know what the overwrite is and it placing it before overwrite.view_channel = True will ensure that the "view_channel" permission can be False, if you would place that check after it, then the "if check" would always run since it always would be True

[boreal sigil]

im confused (sorry guys im kinda thick in the head)

[slate swan]

Look at the logic inside of your command

[vocal laurel]

basically when running a program, python will read from top to bottom
so if I use the code

print(hi)
hi = 3

Python will see print(hi) and will raise an error saying it doesn't know what hi is since it read it from top to bottom

[slate swan]

is anyone free? i wanna talk bout my discord bot if anyone can help

The command is invoked. The program first notices the docstring which doesn't do anything in terms of the logic. Then it notices an "if check" but it does not know what is overwrite since it is defined after the "if check", therefore an exception will be raised (NameError - name "overwrite" is not defined)

[vocal laurel]

yep

[slate swan]

please dm and provide me structure

[vocal laurel]

sorry what?

[slate swan]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1209971238349443144/1228732531868958801/wirepixels.gif

[vocal laurel]

Never mind I guess.. Thought you meant you need help with something and needed someone's assistance

[slate swan]

kekw

[boreal sigil]

ok

so if before overwrite is bad

[slate swan]

check dm

[vocal laurel]

Please don't dm, ask anything you need help with here instead so others can also help

[vocal laurel]

yes

[boreal sigil]

so i move it after the overwrite

[slate swan]

[vocal laurel]

then it will understand it

[boreal sigil]

great

[slate swan]

bro
im making cricket bot in python, i know basic python still me trying ans getting helps from ai tools to create that bot
if you can provide me structure, from where should i start creating that bot

[vocal laurel]

what have you done so far?

[slate swan]

I think the best way of actually explaining people stuff is letting them know the POV of the program

[boreal sigil]

look at the docs for the libraries youre using

the docs are the best things there is

[vocal laurel]

[vocal laurel]

what are the 2 lines above @unhide.error meant to be used for?

[boreal sigil]

oh thats just me making notes

[vocal laurel]

alright

[boreal sigil]

ignore those

[slate swan]

i've created all the commands and connected to db the only thing remaining it to get cricket player data and images and idk how to add images, do i need to create seperate json file?

[boreal sigil]

removed em

[vocal laurel]

ok so basically

[slate swan]

alright

Now command is invoked and overwrite is defined. After overwrite is defined you set the view_channel permission to True. Then the program reaches an "if check". It will always be executed because view_channel permission will always be True, because of this the rest of the program will not be reached. It is even shown to you by making the code a bit more transparent/fading

[boreal sigil]

alright

so what do I need to do to fix that?

[vocal laurel]

find an API that can provide these things and use that to display the data/images

[slate swan]

So you have to place the "if check" before setting the view_channel permission to True

this way the "if check" will be able to run yet the rest of the code will be able to run too (under certain condition - view_channel permission being False), so it will be reachable by the program

[slate swan]

that's what im trying figure it out how 🥲 ive only created moderation bot so far

[vocal laurel]

😅 ah

[slate swan]

I have a autocompletion function for my slash command. Current the item variable is the value of the selected choice. How can I retrieve the choice name and value rather than just the value?

    @app_commands.command(name="search")
    async def search(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, item:str):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Value - {item}")

    @search.autocomplete("item")
    async def search_ac(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, current: str) -> typing.List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:

        data = []
        items = await self.getItems(current)
        if not items:
            return "No results found"
        for item in items.keys():
            if current.lower() in item.lower():
                if len(data) >= 25:
                    break
                data.append(app_commands.Choice(name=' '.join(word.capitalize() for word in item.split()), value=items[f"{item}"]))

        print(data)
        return data```

if you want to retrieve it from the "current" or "item" then I don't think that it is possible

you would have to ask someone else tho like soheab_ or solstice

[vocal laurel]

hm

[slate swan]

yeah I don't think its possible

you could have something like

Choice(name="MyItem", value="MyItem")

or

Choice(name="MyItem", value="value234|MyItem"

then when you receive the value, you can read it until separator "|" is reached, the thing after that separator would be the name of the choice and before would be the value

[slate swan]

I don't get what you mean considering that's exactly what I'm doing

The issue is when someone selects one of the choices, item is the value of that choice. But I need the name of it aswell as it's not pre-set and changes based on api results

well you have to ask someone more experienced

[slate swan]

maybe the second option? @slate swan

[boreal sigil]

so i need to put it here?

[slate swan]

nope, put it after defining overwrite but befoe setting view_channel to True (in between)

[boreal sigil]

so in between them?

[faint sapphire]

hi, tryna edit the text message after cancelling a view once its finished fetching user input, but get "takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given"

tried each method:```py
await interaction.response.edit_message("submitted", view=None)

or

await interaction.response.edit_message( view=None)
+
await interaction.message.edit("submitted")
or
await interaction.edit_original_response("submitted")

[boreal sigil]

i have it after the 2nd one atm

[slate swan]

alright now you have to fix the indentation after the "if check"

Sending and returning should be inside of that check, as for now they are outside

[upbeat otter]

You can get the list of parameters as Parameter objects using Interaction.command.parameters

[slate swan]

TIL

[boreal sigil]

okie dokes

[upbeat otter]

edit_original_response takes keyword arguments

[boreal sigil]

btw what is sending and returning?

[upbeat otter]

in your case content=...

[slate swan]

using await ctx.send(...) means that you are sending something

using return keyword means that you are returning - ending a function in this place

[boreal sigil]

?

[slate swan]

great

[boreal sigil]

should it work now?

[slate swan]

that should be it

[boreal sigil]

awesome - ill test it and lyk

works great BUT
the colour isnt what I wanted

[faint sapphire]

thanks

is it not possible to delete an ephemeral message completely?
just wondering

[boreal sigil]

wanted this and knew it had to be a special format
used an embed builder to get the colour in the format right and it still comes out green

[faint sapphire]

if u paste the right hex colour, it should work

[slate swan]

you would just have to replace the colour value in the nothidden embed

[boreal sigil]

yeah but i didnt think it worked with normal hex codes?

alr lemme see

yeah nopers

wait a min

[faint sapphire]

noo

[boreal sigil]

im stupid AF

the #

this normal then?

[rain hedge]

put, 0x

[slate swan]

0xff54242

[rain hedge]

then the rest

[boreal sigil]

ahh ok ty

[rain hedge]

np

[boreal sigil]

thanks peeps! trying it now

[slate swan]

so print(interaction.command.parameters) should return the choice data?

[boreal sigil]

colour hasnt changed

[rain hedge]

Show me.

[faint sapphire]

add an f

like they said

[boreal sigil]

ohhhh

[boreal sigil]

still same issue

[slate swan]

you changed the colour of the wrong embed

[boreal sigil]

wait

did i

[slate swan]

this is the one to change

[boreal sigil]

holy jesus im stupid

[rain hedge]

simple mistake

[boreal sigil]

yeah

[faint sapphire]

with grave implications

[boreal sigil]

trying it again now

[faint sapphire]

jk

[rain hedge]

did it work?

[boreal sigil]

uuuhhhhhh

doesnt respond to ?unhide now

no errors

[slate swan]

what is the current code

[boreal sigil]

# UNHIDE CMD
@bot.hybrid_command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def unhide(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel=None):
    """ Unhides the channel the command is used in, or a specified channel """
    overwrite = ctx.channel.overwrites_for(ctx.guild.default_role)
    if overwrite.view_channel is True:
        nothidden = discord.Embed(title="Error!", description=f"The channel isn't hidden!",
        colour=0xff54242)
        await ctx.send(embed=nothidden)
        return
    overwrite.view_channel = True
    await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    unhide = discord.Embed(title="Channel Unhidden", description=f"The channel has been Unhidden!",
                        colour=0xe04d5c)
    await ctx.send(embed=unhide)
    return

@unhide.error
async def unhide_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error,commands.CheckFailure):
        await ctx.send('You do not have permission to use this command!')

[upbeat otter]

it only returns the names
you can match them in your code

[slate swan]

before the "if isinstance" check print useful information like the error

[boreal sigil]

theres nothing in terminal...

[slate swan]

tried rerunning the bot?

and then checking if anything is displayed

[slate swan]

It just returned [<discord.app_commands.commands.Parameter object at 0x00000220C37D9730>]

[upbeat otter]

yes I said that it returns a list of Parameter object
Access the first element then use the name property on it

[wheat thunder]

Can I get a info about slash command with example?

[boreal sigil]

ill try again.. maybe it was a weird one off thing

[faint sapphire]

its the same stuff,
u just add like
bot.tree
then use interactions instead of ctx

[boreal sigil]

@slate swan same issue - nothing in terminal and no response to command

[faint sapphire]

from discord import app_commands
import discord

@bot.tree.command(name="hello")
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Hey {interaction.user.mention}! This is a slash command!", ephemeral = True)

[slate swan]

weird

[upbeat otter]

What's the issue?

[boreal sigil]

bot doesnt respond to commands and there isnt any errors in terminal

code:

# UNHIDE CMD
@bot.hybrid_command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def unhide(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel=None):
    """ Unhides the channel the command is used in, or a specified channel """
    overwrite = ctx.channel.overwrites_for(ctx.guild.default_role)
    if overwrite.view_channel is True:
        nothidden = discord.Embed(title="Error!", description=f"The channel isn't hidden!",
        colour=0xff54242)
        await ctx.send(embed=nothidden)
        return
    overwrite.view_channel = True
    await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
    unhide = discord.Embed(title="Channel Unhidden", description=f"The channel has been Unhidden!",
                        colour=0xe04d5c)
    await ctx.send(embed=unhide)
    return

@unhide.error
async def unhide_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error,commands.CheckFailure):
        await ctx.send('You do not have permission to use this command!')

[quick gust]

you should try to see if theres any other error apart from CheckFailure

[slate swan]

oh right

you aren't passing any channel as an argument

[boreal sigil]

so

its supposed to be done in the channel its sent in

and the slash command has a channel field as an argument

[slate swan]

then before defining overwrites do

channel = channel or ctx.channel

if you pass a channel as an argument then it will be the channel you passed

[boreal sigil]

alrighty

[slate swan]

otherwise it will be the channel in which the command has been invoked

[quick gust]

and you should also switch ctx.channel -> channel wherever ure using it

[slate swan]

true

[quick gust]

also add

else: 
  raise error``` 
in your local error handler

[boreal sigil]

local error handler?

[quick gust]

@unhide.error

[boreal sigil]

doing this now

[boreal sigil]

done that - no difference

[quick gust]

after adding the else, restart bot and run the command again and see if there are any errors

[boreal sigil]

so

a lot of stuff

[quick gust]

?

[slate swan]

okay so I assume this will be the thing

at the top of your file where you are importing stuff, import this

from typing import Optional

then change your channel param to

channel : Optional[discord.TextChannel] = None

[boreal sigil]

so change channel = channel or ctx.channel to channel : Optional[discord.TextChannel] = None

[quick gust]

ff54242 isn't a color?

are u sure u didn't make a mistake copying the hex

[slate swan]

nope, do this

async def unhide(ctx, channel : Optional[discord.TextChannel] = None):
  channel = channel or ctx.channel
  # Rest of your logic

[boreal sigil]

can i still keep """ Unhides the channel the command is used in, or a specified channel """? @slate swan

[slate swan]

yeah sure

I mean program just takes it as a docstring/string/comment

[boreal sigil]

[slate swan]

yep

[boreal sigil]

now try?

[quick gust]

:/

[slate swan]

but the hex colour is wrong

[boreal sigil]

oh

how?-

[quick gust]

if you want red you're probably looking for ff5424

[slate swan]

ff5424 maybe?

[boreal sigil]

zis

[quick gust]

its f54242, you have ff54242

[slate swan]

f54242

[boreal sigil]

i was told to add another f

[quick gust]

Nah u just need a 0x

[boreal sigil]

alright

[slate swan]

my bad

[boreal sigil]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

mb mb

[boreal sigil]

works with no errors in terminal! thanks guys. now need to repeat this all 3 more times

[quick gust]

Nice

[gilded bough]

So I organized my folders to sell the bot is this good Enough?

[tepid ruin]

It looks very well organised

[gilded bough]

Thanks

[tepid ruin]

Perhaps a readme or something for the people who arent so smart with programming

[gilded bough]

Thanks for the advice

[tepid ruin]

No problem

And maybe rename the main.py to something like run so its more clear for the user

[quick gust]

I mean u could have a run.bat file which executes the main.py file

[swift acorn]

I was trying to fetch my mutual guilds with the bot using member.mutual_guilds but it only returns the guild the command is used in, none of the others, even tho me and the bot share all of those guilds, and they are cached in the bot, I am able to get those guilds using bot.get_guild() they aren't chunked but I don't think that's the issue

Is there something I'm missing?

I didn't have guild intents enabled sorry

[wind radish]

lol ive had that happen

[swift acorn]

yea and it's always something you don't check haha

[spring rampart]

wait how do i do like pip install discord

it doesnt work on visual studio code

im prolly being stupid but im a lil confuzzled

[swift acorn]

you click on "terminal" in the top bar, and install using pip there

and also make sure you have Python installed on your computer!

[spring rampart]

i have python

and i did it in terminal

but it didnt do anything

its saying discord is not defined

im watching a youtube tutorial from 2 years ago so its prolly rly outdated

wait it says a new release of pip is available

but it wont update

dam

[sharp hazel]

hi, there's anyway to send multiple ephemeral messages?

[slate swan]

No

[full lily]

what did you write there?

[boreal sigil]

hey peeps

got a reply command. currently, it only replies to your message if you use ?reply <message you want it to reply to your message with>.
I want to be able to do it so that you can do:
?reply <target message ID> <message to reply with> <mention (true or false)>
same with slash commands (hybrid cmd.
here is current code!

# REPLY COMMAND
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
@bot.hybrid_command()
async def reply(ctx, replymessage=None):
    """ Makes the bot reply to a message """
    await ctx.reply(replymessage)
@reply.error
async def reply_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error,commands.CheckFailure):
        await ctx.send('You do not have permission to use this command!')
    else:
        raise error

@slate swan can u help?

btw i coded all of this on my own

no help from anything/anyone

im like a proud father 🥹🥲🥲

@quick gust can u help too?

[full lily]

so um whats the problem

[twin junco]

yo can anyone help me with slash commands, on my server its not appearing? ```
import discord
import json
import math
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

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

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def shutdown(ctx):
bot.close()

@bot.tree.command(name="addtrade")
@app_commands.describe(
price="Price of the item you have bought",
description="Description of the item",
price_listed="Price sold/listed for"
)
async def addtrade(interaction: discord.Interaction, price: int, description: str, price_listed: int):
with open("trade.json", "r") as f:
data = json.load(f)

trade_id = str(math.floor(math.random() * 10000))
data[trade_id] = {
    "price": price,
    "description": description,
    "price_listed": price_listed
}

with open("trade.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(data, f, indent=4)

await interaction.response.send_message(f"Trade added with ID {trade_id}"```

[full lily]

iirc they take a while to register

I think there's something you can do to force a refresh. Maybe someone else can advise

[twin junco]

alr so the code is fine

?

[full lily]

is there an error?

[twin junco]

no but i cant run it untill the / command appears

so idk

[twin junco]

thanks

[full lily]

well you need to add the other parameters now. these 3 <target message ID> <message to reply with> <mention (true or false)>

[twin junco]

thanks for ur help bones, all i had to do was ctrl + r

[full lily]

aight cool

[sharp hazel]

does anybody know how to add buttons like this?

[ornate quarry]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Replace 'your_bot_token_here' with your actual bot token
TOKEN = ''

# Define intents
intents = discord.Intents.default()

# Initialize bot with intents and prefix '!'
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

# Event: Bot is ready
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user}')

# Event: Message received
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return

    print(f'Message received: {message.content}')
    await bot.process_commands(message)

@bot.command(name='ping')
async def ping(ctx):
    latency = bot.latency * 1000
    await ctx.send(f'Pong! Latency: {latency:.2f}ms')

# Run bot with token
bot.run(TOKEN)

so when i type something, it sees the message, but doesnt show the content of the message, what did i do wrong here?

[vital ore]

Try changing

intents = discord.Intents.default()

To:

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
``` (Also make sure you allowed message content in the developer intents portal)

[scarlet tiger]

read the documentation

[ornate quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-clapping-clap-applause-amazing-gif-1812735758324318601

[ornate quarry]

now explain so i know what you fixed?

[vital ore]

I believe its because discord.Intents.default() doesn't include message_content as True so you have to set it manually

[ornate quarry]

k, i will have to brush up on intents, but thank you, is there any other pitfalls related you can think of?

[vital ore]

I heard it can suppress some errors I think? Though in my experiences its been fine.

[ornate quarry]

cool

Purpose of Intents:

Intents in Discord.py define which events your bot will receive information about from Discord's gateway. They help manage and limit the amount of data your bot receives, improving efficiency and security.
Default Intents:

discord.Intents.default() provides a set of default intents that cover most common use cases for bots, such as message events, member events, reactions, etc.
By default, message_content is not included in the default intents because it is considered a privileged intent due to potentially sensitive data.
Enabling message_content:

To access message.content and other message-related data in your bot, you need to enable the message_content intent explicitly.
This informs Discord that your bot intends to receive and process message content, allowing you to access message.content in your on_message event or command functions.```
omg i love it

[vital ore]

oooo where'd u get that? From the docs?

[ornate quarry]

no i uhh, im playing with the darkside of ai today >:)

[vital ore]

ahhh

[ornate quarry]

making a simple discord bot for my filing cabinet of a server and adding a reminder system to do bumps

oh yea

nice and simple

[solid turtle]

lf for someone to join my team to help me code a discord bot

The goal of the group is to make good bots for the community using it in need even when we make our own server

[slate swan]

I'm doing interaction.command.parameters[0].name and it's still just printing item

[upbeat otter]

that's the parameter name

[slate swan]

Do you understand what I'm trying to get

[mighty pilot]

You're trying to get the name of a commands arguments, correct?

[mighty pilot]

Try display_name if this is just giving you the object identifier

Or is it literally returning the word 'item' because you're searching an item

[slate swan]

I have auto completion that adds choices. I need to know name arguemnt of the choice they selected. As item is returning just the value of the choice

[mighty pilot]

I think I've done something like this before - let me see how I handled it

Yea it looks like I did something similar to what was mentioned above. I kept a dictionary with all the info in it so I could use the returned value to find corresponding info

[slate swan]

can you send your code

This is mine atm ```py
@app_commands.command(name="search")
async def search(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, item:str):
await interaction.response.send_message(f"Value - {interaction.command.parameters[0].display_name}")

@search.autocomplete("item")
async def search_ac(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, current: str) -> typing.List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:

    data = []
    items = await self.getItems(current)
    if not items:
        return "No results found"
    for item in items.keys():
        if current.lower() in item.lower():
            if len(data) >= 25:
                break
            data.append(app_commands.Choice(name=' '.join(word.capitalize() for word in item.split()), value=items[f"{item}"]))

    return data```

[mighty pilot]

Sorry it's late here I'm about to get some sleep. Good luck

[mortal lake]

im trying to use diers and i tried to create a server for my python discord bot and it said no nodes were found, wdid?

[past spire]

@bot.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello!')
async def cute(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Cute')```
what am i doing wrong here?

[mortal lake]

just need another @ bot.command()

[past spire]

oh, oki

do i have to do bot.command before every function?

[mortal lake]

if its a bot command, yeah

[past spire]

oh, i see

idk, it is printing hello line twice

it is sending hello message twice, but i used print command to print hello in terminal, but it is sending it once only there

nvm, i see what i did

that will make the code too lengthy, is there a way i can shorten the code?

[limber jolt]

Im asking iN here and not a help channel as It will prob be deleted when I come back from school but I installed Jishaku and when I tested It out in my server by doing !jsk py 1+1 It didnt do anything i have no idea what the error Is I made sure I loaded it correctly please help.

[limber jolt]

If ur gonna make bots they will have 100s of lines. My bot has almost 300 lines

[past spire]

if won't make the laptop slow, right?

[limber jolt]

Just adding that one extra line for u wont chnage anything but If u make a huge bot then It could slow It down a little but i dont see a poblems or my bot slowing down for me

[past spire]

i have blue print to make a bot game, it might be too long, like more than 1000 lines lol

[scarlet tiger]

Use modules lol

[past spire]

can you give example??

[limber jolt]

Oof. I can make Python bots and Python games idk how to add them together tho

[scarlet tiger]

Create files that have a single responsibility

[past spire]

oh, can i return a whole list from that file??

[scarlet tiger]

For example, if the game uses a database you can make a module to handle that

[past spire]

oh, i can imagine what i have to do now

i think i can do it

[scarlet tiger]

Example:

[past spire]

thank youu

[fierce ridge]

im trying to check if there is a specific word in the message```

dm me or ping me (im beginner so help me with code dont tell some adv solution)

[twin crown]

if word in message

[vital ore]

||```py

target_word = "duck" # Word you want to check for

@bot.event # Listen to the on_message event. (Which activates everytime a message is sent)
async def on_message(message : discord.Message)
if message.author == bot.user: # Return if the message is from the bot
return

Check if target word is in message (.content gets the text)

if target_word in message.content:
# Do something when word found
print("Found word! Wow so cool epic amazing I love that word that was found")

Something like that ^^^^

Oh crap you asked for advice not a solution.. Click the box to see a possible solution (with comments)

where the documents for the tree command

[vapid parcel]

Wait autocompletes now need to be within the range of 25 of fewer?

[fierce ridge]

ok

[fierce ridge]

i can understand simple code like this

thx

[vital ore]

np

[fierce ridge]

@vital ore

but to send message in channel

instead of print the commmand is?

[vital ore]

one sec

[fierce ridge]

ok

[vital ore]

await message.channel.send("This is a response")
await message.reply("This is a reply")

[fierce ridge]

its message.channel.send

[vital ore]

yep

[fierce ridge]

thx

@vital ore

[vital ore]

?

[fierce ridge]

this error is comi
ng

i cant send image

RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

  message.channel.send('test')
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback```

[vital ore]

Oh wait sorry

you're meant to add await to the start

[fierce ridge]

oh ya i forgot abt that too

[vital ore]

so its
await message.channel.send('test')

[fierce ridge]

ya

understood thx

[vital ore]

Also make sure the function is async

[slate swan]

I thought they always were 25 or less

[vapid parcel]

Well I have always had more than 25 in auto completes, but they will just fail to load in discord. Until you search for a certain auto complete name. But now it gives an error in 2.4.0 and I was wondering if there was anything else that allows me to go over 25. Because what I remember auto completes was the only one.

[slate swan]

25 is the limit

[vapid parcel]

Used to go over 25. Thats all im saying.

[slate swan]

then it was most likely changed

dunno

[vapid parcel]

Well

Then that messes with many things :/

So many bots used auto complete + db connections because it went over the 25 limit

They should add another argument that allows you to chose how many options/choices show in the autocomplete then. Like how many show at once. So you can still have way more than 25 options in the list, but only show like 20 at once or something.

Bypassing this whole error.

actually nvm, I have an idea, and I fixed this. I can do it within the return

[dense falcon]

Can you pass variables into an interaction? If so, how?

[north kiln]

what are you trying to do?

[dense falcon]

I have a Shop command and want to be able to view item information individually with embeds, and if you wish to buy the item using the virtual currency you press a button which at least gives the name of the item and if the user already owns it. I believe to do this without creating endless classes I'd need to pass the item name and ownership status to the interaction, but i could very definitely be wrong

[north kiln]

do you mean the button callback, you wouldn't want to edit the Interaction itself?

[mild token]

    async def on_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error):
        ignored = (app_commands.CommandNotFound, )

            return

        elif isinstance(error, app_commands.NoPrivateMessage):
            try:
                await interaction.user.send(f'{interaction.command.name} can not be used in Private Messages.')

why this is not getting caught in error handler?

[dense falcon]

Sorry yeah, my brain is getting fuzzy too much is going rn but im sure I meant callback

[north kiln]

You normally would get the onwership status from a db? You can do that in the callback

[golden portal]

the error occurred inside the button callback, this doesnt trigger tree on_error, it triggers View.on_error

[dense falcon]

how about the specific item? I might be sounding really stupid right now

[north kiln]

you have the button object in the callback

either use its label or a custom attribute you set

[dense falcon]

ah ok thanks

[harsh orbit]

how to check if there is mention in an argument?

[mild token]

class ViewErrorHandler(ui.View):
    async def on_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error):
        print(error)
        error = getattr(error, 'original', error)
        print(error)
        if isinstance(error, APIError):
            print(error)
        else:
            print('Ignoring exception in command {}:'.format(
                interaction.command.name), file=sys.stderr)
            traceback.print_exception(
                type(error), error, error.__traceback__, file=sys.stderr)

still its not working am i doing something wrong

[quick gust]

doesn't it need to be the same Instance of ui.View where your button belongs?

[golden portal]

that and also on_error receive discord.ui.Item as well

[harsh orbit]

can somebody help me please?

[harsh orbit]

.

[mild token]

i already added that its not getting triggered at all

[stoic tusk]

@bot.hybrid_command(name="kitty", description="returns a Meow", with_app_command=True)
async def kitty(ctx):
    await ctx.reply("Meow :3")

So, does anybody knows why this isn't getting registered as a slash command when I try to run it? Yes, I have other slash commands that work, yes, I restarted the bot, Yes, i added the code in the right py file

example:

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Ready!")
    sync = await bot.tree.sync()

then under it add

@bot.hybrid_command(name="ping", description="returns a pong", with_app_command=True)
async def pingcmd(ctx):
    latency = round(bot.latency * 1000)
    await ctx.reply(f"**Pong!**\nCurrent Ping: {latency}ms")

this u can check ping

but make sure to enable this first before adding ur bot, it's in the Oauth2 tab in the portal

what exactly? adding the code or enabling the button

u did bots before tho?

u mean @bot.command(): ?

idk much abt slash either but it's pretty simple

look, ik u have the on_ready() function in ur bot already, just add

    sync = await bot.tree.sync()

then add the rest 2 of the codes I added u, same goes for the Oauth2 button, u need to go to discord portal and enabling it, then re-inviting ur bot back in the server if it was already there

i hope what I said helped u then lol

[upbeat otter]

🗿🗿

[stoic tusk]

yeah i dont even like them

[upbeat otter]

slash commands or their syntax?

[stoic tusk]

looks decent but slash commands general, im a more nostalgic way so i miss everything from the past discord

[upbeat otter]

use buttons instead of reactions

[upbeat otter]

seems funny now that discord was ACTUALLY good at one point 😭

[slate swan]

nice

how can i make a discord bot send msg to a every new channel created

[stoic tusk]

whenever something good happens, there's always an idiot who says "yo i have an idea" and ruins everything

[slate swan]

not nuke bot but for ticket bot

so it send like

explain what you want:

some like this

[stoic tusk]

like ticket bot?

ye he wants his own

his own ticket system

[slate swan]

mine doesnt

im trying to learn py and stuff and trying to make a bot

[upbeat otter]

access the text channels list through Guild.text_channels then loop over them to send a message in each
The list will have discord.TextChannel objects

[slate swan]

i got this rn im new to py

[stoic tusk]

it's outdated, we don't use @client.event no more

[upbeat otter]

a discord bot is an intermediate-hard project, wouldn't want to start with a discord bot project straight away

[dense falcon]

If you use await bot.get_channel(CHANNEL ID).send("message") or if you get the channel as an object and instead use that maybe

[upbeat otter]

how are you supposed to make an event then 😭

[dense falcon]

hang on I have my own ticket system somewhere

[stoic tusk]

buddy the thing is it's not @client.event it's @bot.command() lol, he uses the old discord.py vers

[slate swan]

yes but i want it to send to all new channels that are created it would be easyer

[upbeat otter]

well that was vague 🗿

[slate swan]

oh

[dense falcon]

it makes multiple new channels?

[stoic tusk]

there's a lot to learn at discord.py so this server will be ur friend alongside new yt tutorials

[slate swan]

if someone makes ticket its new channel so it will send msg there

[slate swan]

🙂

[dense falcon]

yeah so it only makes one channel at a time though?

[stoic tusk]

he means it like this:
He wants his own ticket system, where when the bot creates a new ticket channel, the bot will send a message, like ticket bot does

[dense falcon]

oh OK yeah I have that

[slate swan]

yh for each person

[dense falcon]

assuming your tickets will be made in the same category as the message triggering the ticket to be made...

category = ctx.message.channel.category # This gets the category of the channel where the message was sent
new_channel = await category.create_text_channel(name="ticket") # Create a channel in the category and name it "ticket"
await new_channel.send("explain the problem: ") # Send a message in the new channel```
I could be oversimplifying my code since I used interactions and databases, but this should be a base function with explanations on how these work.
NOTE - all of this code should be inside a command's function

[slate swan]

uhm

uhh i understand it

but idk how to add this into my code

im really new to py

[dense falcon]

The screenshot above is all of your code, correct?
