discord-bots

[slate swan]

yes only not token

idk

[dense falcon]

Also, what people have said is mostly right, making a discord bot is definitely not a beginner challenge and it would be much simpler to start with something smaller, like calculators. They seem simple and boring but by getting to know how it works you gain the experience you need for bigger projects

[slate swan]

how do i start

[dense falcon]

tbh personally I was lucky to be able to revise python in high school since they only offered it as a club

ah nice

I almost ended up purely a GDScript and HTML kid not gonna lie

sobs loudly

I have almost a whole discord bot made complete with moderation and profiles and I definitely should not be at this stage

I spent a day trying to figure out why the database wasnt returning in my script, it was because I called the table settings and referenced it as servers

I broke mine up into cogs so i think mine's like 600 or so too?

I made it for a community and therefore I made a command that takes a save file and outputs it with max currency

we kinda wanted a bot like, a year ago, did barely anything with it, and now a year later I picked it up and got wayyy too far in like, a couple weeks

[slate swan]

i want it to send 1 message into the ticket

it send 2 msg

[dense falcon]

I think it sent again because of the Pin message but i could be wrong

looking at your code it's gonna send every time someone says ANYTHING

[slate swan]

your right

[slate swan]

no

[dense falcon]

yes but it still holds

[slate swan]

only if bot sends

[slate swan]

ant i limit the amount of msg or something

per channel

[dense falcon]

ngl i dont know

[slate swan]

uhhhh

how to make like

it sends to every new channel a msg

so for example i create a random channel then it will send msg in there..

[slate swan]

I can help, can you be more specific

[slate swan]

every new channel i create i want the bot to send a msg but i want it to have a 3 sec delay with the msg

yes but that not all

can I send you code in dms

no actually send me your code (few lines) I'll add and send

[slate swan]

sure thx

[slate swan]

kk 1sec

import discord

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

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')

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

if message.content.startswith('hello'):
    await message.channel.send('Hello!')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if str(message.author.id) == "790338464385073203":
await message.channel.send('Hello, please explain what ')

client.run('TOKEN HERE')

so basically u want I to

send msg in every channel

ik can u fix

[slate swan]

yes every new channel created

[scarlet tiger]

Why do you have 2 identical events?

Oh ok

[slate swan]

im new and testing stuff

ik

but im trying to add a addon

kinda extra option

uhm

idk

[scarlet tiger]

He's new, explaining it that way doesn't help.

[slate swan]

i do

i explained....

🥶

i want this could not make a good pic but should work

ja

ja will gwn iets voor ticket en probeer beetje te leren 🤷‍♂️

ik

heb all ticket bot

[slate swan]

i want this

Why?

yes

that no problem

[scarlet tiger]

What are you trying to do? A ticket system?

[past spire]

how do i use modules in @bot.command()? like, i want async def variable(ctx) to be on another file, is that even possible?

[slate swan]

so when new ticket get created it sends a msg in ticket

[past spire]

cogs? what's that

i am trying to do that, but there are few problems

[dense falcon]

They have to be set up in a class defined as a cog too

and then you load the file as an extension

[past spire]

can i add more than one functions in cog file?

[dense falcon]

yes

[past spire]

enlighten me please

[scarlet tiger]

And what is the problem?

[past spire]

@bot.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello!')```
let's say i want to make this line to work with another file `response`

[slate swan]

idk how to make it

[dense falcon]

as long as all commands are in the class in the cog file and are @commands.command instead of @bot.command, and use self as a parameter

[past spire]

yesss

[dense falcon]

theres more I can't remember

[scarlet tiger]

What library do you use? Discord.py?

[slate swan]

i think

[past spire]

i can do database

you mean, make a dictionary?

[scarlet tiger]

Can you show me your pip list?

[slate swan]

uhh

i show code

[quick gust]

json files arent databases

No, they should never be

[scarlet tiger]

Hmmmm, you could use an embed message and have it have a button that opens the ticket

[past spire]

i can do .db files with sqlite3, it worked, but i can't go further as i haven't fully read the API, and i still need to know how to fetch userid, channelid and stuff

[slate swan]

i dont want to advanced

i want something simple

[slate swan]

like this

[dense falcon]

I can help with any sqlite3 things, my bot uses it more than enough

[scarlet tiger]

Don't use sqlite3 because it is not async

[past spire]

that's why modules, i think

ohh

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild).

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User).

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User) instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User) instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s handle (e.g. `name` or `name#discriminator`).

[past spire]

really? i think you can help me with my bot then, but i need more help than you imagine with setting up the main file code so i can just link main to other files

[dense falcon]

yeah the API is really helpful

[dense falcon]

ehhh Just hit me w what you need and if I can't do it, oh well

[scarlet tiger]

Use aiosqlite

[past spire]

so, my plan is to make the main file short by making it work with user commands, and which it send data to other py file, that can use conditions

[past spire]

let me add this to my to do list

[dense falcon]

nvm if you use a different library than sqlite3 I probably can't help lmao

unless there isn't much difference

[scarlet tiger]

It's the same LOL only it's async

[dense falcon]

oh nice

[past spire]

sqlite3 is easy btw, so i will set up my bot with it first

[past spire]

ohhh

ohh

so, what's the difference between @bot.command() and @client.event()??

[open cobalt]

hey guys connected to the gateway and becoming events from the websocket, rly nice

[dense falcon]

a command is ran by the user and an event is something that just happens like message sending or deleting

[past spire]

which one should i use??

[open cobalt]

how should I make the event handler or how should I handle any events that I receive through the websocket?

[past spire]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)```

i did this btw

[open cobalt]

any ideas?

[past spire]

i just started learning, maybe someone else used websockets here

[open cobalt]

ok

[past spire]

so, if i do !somethin, bot have to go in @bot.command() and search for async def somethin(ctx), right?

[open cobalt]

anyone in here using websockets for your bots?

[dense falcon]

self isn't needed if it isn't commands.command right?

[past spire]

and, i have to do @bot.command() again and again to to define new async class

let me change my code from ctx to self

ohh, you mean i do ctx for main file and self if i link to other?

ok, got it

[scarlet tiger]

You can do this:
@bot.command(name="hello")

And you can change the name of the function

[past spire]

so, it is just working as if else statement, right?
how do i make it work like a switch statement so it does not have to look for ever @bot.commands()

[golden portal]

yea, i do, in fact discord.py uses websockets to connect to the gateway

[open cobalt]

What is discord.py? I am using discord API to make a bot and I am receiving events

[golden portal]

it's a discord API wrapper written in python

[open cobalt]

ok nice. How would I handle the incoming events that I am receiving?

[past spire]

let me give you an example, i want to use cogs
lets say user send a message and i save the message without prefix in a variable, let's say x for now
and then the @bot.command works, and it sends the x value to other file where it perform cirtain things and send back the data

wait wait

[golden portal]

well, if you're using this without discord.py, that's pretty complicated, what are you trying to do with those events?

[past spire]

message is coming with prefix, !anything and user can do anything here, and i store message anything in x and run it in @bot.command

and then it sends x to other file

yes

[open cobalt]

 elif events["t"] == "MESSAGE_CREATE":
            message_obj = events

            if message_obj["d"]["author"]["id"] != BOT_ID:
                if message_obj["d"]["content"] == ">ping":
                    requests.post(url=f"{API_BASE_URL}/channels/{message_obj["d"]["channel_id"]}/messages",
                                  json={"content": "pong!"}, headers=header)

[golden portal]

damn you're really writing this in raw websocket payload handling

[past spire]

can you give me example?

[slate swan]

kekw, if it works it works moment

[golden portal]

i recommend just using discord.py, it has command handling exactly what you're looking for

[open cobalt]

ok need to look on that, if it is good

[scarlet tiger]

Use some library lol

[golden portal]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro.html intro
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html command handling

[open cobalt]

sry I thought this is the way to make a bot in discord with discord api

[past spire]

im so confused with this now

a lot of questions

[open cobalt]

thanks

[scarlet tiger]

I see, but it's better if you use a library because it handles everything for you.

[open cobalt]

Ok. Good to know

[golden portal]

yea the lore goes pretty deep if you were to do it raw

[scarlet tiger]

Can you explain to me what you want to do?

[open cobalt]

    if message_obj["d"]["content"] == ">create_channel":
        channel = {"name": "Channel Test"} # More information if needed 
        requests.post(url=f"{API_BASE_URL}/guilds/{GUILD_ID}/channels", headers=header, json=channel)
        print("CHANNEL CREATED")

I need to type hint the content to str

[golden portal]

well by default command arguments are set to str

[open cobalt]

yes but for my editor the type of message_obj["d"]["content"] is string but to get the methods

[past spire]

yes
so, i want my main file to be short, user send message as !message where message can be anything, and i used bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents) and @bot.command() async def hello(ctx): await ctx.send('Hello!') basically, so, here i want my class to work automatically and send the message to another response.py file where it does if else thing basically, and returns values to main file
main file will send the message to discord
something like this if you can understand

[open cobalt]

{'t': 'MESSAGE_CREATE', ............ socket is now running

[past spire]

i want to replace @bot.command() async def hello(ctx): await ctx.send('Hello!') with something useful

[open cobalt]

receiving events from websocket and change core with rest api

  if events["t"] == "READY":
      print("Bot has started.....")

[scarlet tiger]

I didn't understand, do you want to save the message and send it from another file?

[past spire]

save as in variable only
and yes

[scarlet tiger]

You can use a dictionary if you don't need the information to be persistent.

Allows managing multiple servers and users

[past spire]

for now, help me just sending hello from other file

[open cobalt]

would you guys make a try except or a if statemet if response is 200 or should I let it like this ?

[scarlet tiger]

It's very simple, you just have to save the message in a variable and then you can create a function that gets the message

It's basic Python

[past spire]

let me try 😭

[scarlet tiger]

Bro, use a library, I don't think anyone uses the API that way

[past spire]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
should i change this line?

[open cobalt]

In what way is the api used, if I may ask

[scarlet tiger]

It is the bot instance, you should not delete it

[past spire]

it just sits around without any function

[scarlet tiger]

Use a library like discord.py you can find information on Google

[scarlet tiger]

To make a discord bot you need to know Python very well

[open cobalt]

thats why I am making one so I know python

to learn

[scarlet tiger]

Yes, it is a good way to learn, but you will have many questions and problems

[past spire]

this is printing <discord.ext.commands.bot.Bot object at 0x00000171BAEE1F70> and i don't understand what it means

i did print(f'{bot}') lol

[open cobalt]

I use libraries like json requests websockets

[scarlet tiger]

Why are you printing the bot object

[golden portal]

that is indeed the repr of a Bot object

[open cobalt]

repr

[past spire]

just trying to understand why i used it
all i know is that it is used for @bot.command

[open cobalt]

is a thunder method and used to present it as a string

[scarlet tiger]

You can see examples in the discord.py repository

[open cobalt]

Boo do you know what @ is in python?

[past spire]

no

[past spire]

im searching already

[open cobalt]

is it essential to know what it means

[scarlet tiger]

Please learn the basics of Python before creating a bot

[open cobalt]

if you dont know what that is you dont understand your code

but as a developer you need to understand every line you write and what it makes

[past spire]

that's why im here :)

[open cobalt]

Python was my first programming language but I did a calculator or a todo app or a guessing game

[scarlet tiger]

Do exercises and improve your Python skills. If you make a Discord bot without knowing the basics you will only have problems.

[open cobalt]

says that guy who tells me I should use a library despite discord has a well documented api

[timber dragon]

judging someone's python skills in the python server..

help them or not lol

[past spire]

i know basics, how to make classes, private variables etc

[open cobalt]

I am not judging anyone I am judging myself that I need to improve

[scarlet tiger]

So why does everyone use a library? lol

[open cobalt]

Discord API is well documented, I love it.

dont judge me for using websocket

[timber dragon]

you don't have to use a library/wrapper if you can do it yourself like handling ratelimits etc

[quick gust]

it's a personal preference if they want to use a library or not

[open cobalt]

I use json, requests, websockets , threading

time as well

[finite salmon]

Most discord api wrappers handle rate limits themselves

[scarlet tiger]

If you want to handle everything yourself, that's fine.

[upbeat otter]

bro uses all the blocking libraries 🗿

[timber dragon]

that's required no?

[finite salmon]

Well yeah ig

[open cobalt]

hehehh I dont want to actual make a bot , I want to understand and improve my skills

guys dont judge me like this

I think you guys judge me and hate on me

[upbeat otter]

I mean 💀 If youre so free in life sure

[finite salmon]

If you wanna do it from scratch it's just reinventing the wheel

[open cobalt]

Can I improve my python skills or not with the discord api

[quick gust]

you will improve your python skills with anything you code as long as you're learning new concepts and gaining experience

[open cobalt]

It is just a regular api with requests but indeed you need websocket and this I learned with threading

I learned about websockets and the threading module

yall hating on me for no reason despite i want to learn and improve

instead of reviewing my code I wrote

[upbeat otter]

you ain't getting nowhere using the requests module
You'll need to use the async version of anything that's possible

[open cobalt]

says it on discord api : POST/channels/{channel.id}/messages POST is used for HTTP along with PATCH DELETE PUT

Guys, I give up and use the library it is better

[upbeat otter]

Ok wtf 😭

[quick gust]

Do you know OOP? If not, using the library will help you learn aswell

[open cobalt]

you guys hate on me and dont want me to improve

[open cobalt]

ofc I know OOP

[upbeat otter]

Yeah, were super bad 😭

[open cobalt]

I am crying rn

[slate swan]

To be honest, making it from scratch just helps you understand how it all works under the hood

[open cobalt]

I go crying in a dark room and be there myself

[upbeat otter]

Ok.

[open cobalt]

yes that is very true

[quick gust]

Ok 👍

[upbeat otter]

But wrapping such a large API like discord by yourself is close to impossible

[open cobalt]

I dont want to make a wrapper I want to do stuff and experiment

[slate swan]

How so?

[upbeat otter]

Ok then do it
what's stopping you?

[open cobalt]

and the best part to learn. You said before asyncio so tell me

Asyncio is for asynchronous programming so the code is not line by line

[slate swan]

most of the stuff if not everything is documented on the discord developer portal, making it is just a matter of time

[upbeat otter]

Just imagine the time you'll have to put into it and that will only result in messy code and endless bugs if you try to do it alone

[scarlet tiger]

If you just want to learn you can do it that way. But if you want to make a real Discord bot you will only have a lot of problems if you use the API that way.

[slate swan]

if you have the time, go for it

[upbeat otter]

Yeah that's the point ^^

[slate swan]

nobody says you have to do it alone though

[upbeat otter]

you have friends? 😔

[open cobalt]

Instead of explaining async and how that it is better Ash is just writing but I am here to learn

[slate swan]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/755541333518844014.gif?size=48&quality=lossless

[open cobalt]

I thought so ray is the only one that understands it

[slate swan]

If you get going and keep making the wrapper, there are no downsides of that option in my opinion

[open cobalt]

ray, can you explain when asyncio should be in my code and why

can I send you some code and you can explain me?

[slate swan]

sure I can try

[open cobalt]

where is asyncio included @slate swan

[slate swan]

you could use aiohttp instead of requests to gain the async effect

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
  await session.post(url, headers=headers, json=json)

[open cobalt]

ok aiohttp

[slate swan]

and if it is possible you can also add some async stuff to the receive_data method, I assume it is related to responses so you could do something there

[quick gust]

Also, while loops are blocking

[open cobalt]

why is the async better, is it better if an error occurs and the code goes on and dont stuck that the bot doesnt crash?

I dont know what blocking ios

[quick gust]

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Asynchronous programming

Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries

• The standard async library - asyncio
• Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
• Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
• MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
• Check out this list for even more!

[open cobalt]

@slate swan

[open cobalt]

..

[finite salmon]

It has to do with the way you do error handling not with async

[open cobalt]

ok now we getting somewhere, I need to lookup asyncio, aiohttp and blocking

[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.

[north kiln]

show your code

where you loaded the modules and stuff

[limber jolt]

Alright

[limber jolt]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{bot.user} is now running!')
    await bot.tree.sync()
    print("Loading Jishaku...")
    await bot.load_extension('jishaku')
    print("Jishaku loaded.")

    await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online,
                              activity=discord.Activity(
                                  type=discord.ActivityType.playing,
                                  name="PixelPulse"))```

Thats my on_ready

[north kiln]

does any other jsk command work?

like jsk reload

[limber jolt]

Nope, Nothing.

[north kiln]

I think there could be a few possible reasons

• the invoker is not the owner
• the bot doesn't have message content intent

[limber jolt]

I have a whole bot set up and I and It can send messages and Im the owner of the server.

[north kiln]

message content intent is not whether it can send messages

where did you put your intents?

[limber jolt]

intents.message_content = True
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)```

[north kiln]

there is probably some way to check if a module is loaded, let me check

[limber jolt]

Need all my code? I have a pretty big bot

[north kiln]

you can print(bot.cogs) to see if jsk is loaded ig

if not that it could be something with bot ownership

[limber jolt]

I own everything.

The bot and server

[north kiln]

then better wait for someone else to answer

[limber jolt]

It said It loaded

[north kiln]

you might post the full code for more context

as I don't have any problem with it

[limber jolt]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/3PYA

[north kiln]

you just leaked ur token

reset it

it might be because you have overridden on_message

[limber jolt]

oops

[north kiln]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

[limber jolt]

Done

[north kiln]

does ur bot respond to the colour command?

or any message command

[limber jolt]

Speaking of that no...

So how do I fix It?

[north kiln]

^

[limber jolt]

Tha tells me how to do It w commands...

Its a import with no bot.events

[north kiln]

just do it

[limber jolt]

Do what?

It aint telling me how to fix..

[north kiln]

do what the link says

jsk is just the same as your normal cog

await bot.process_commands(message) at the end of your on_message

[limber jolt]

First time using this stuff no Idea what ur yapping about

[north kiln]

just add the line

if you aren't diving deeper

[limber jolt]

On every single bot.command that Is (message)

[north kiln]

no

just on on_message

[limber jolt]

I have loads of them

Highlight what ones

[fierce ridge]

I want to add reaction role can some1 gimme example code or smthing (I'm new so can u make it simple?)

Ping or dm plz

[north kiln]

🙃

[limber jolt]

Just doing that will fix it all?

[north kiln]

probably

[fierce ridge]

Ping or dm 🙂

[limber jolt]

And nothings fixed..

[north kiln]

outside the if

[north kiln]

...

do you know indentations?

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

I get this

[turbid condor]

you can try that but I meant the file in which the view was in

[copper flume]

^

[turbid condor]

I see you can load sys modules using the above link not local

[turbid condor]

if it's a cog then you can use then in-built dpy reload_extension function that should work

[copper flume]

it didn't get reloaded

idk why i still get those errors

[haughty summit]

Hello guys

[turbid condor]

the same error? using reload_extension?

[haughty summit]

One question, I have implemented a cache based on dictionary filling after each command by user is received, would like running a background task to be cleaning the old entries (timestamp conditioon) after a certain time

[copper flume]

I used jsk reload cogs.ticket

[haughty summit]

I have tried create_task with asyncio and I have a print inside

[copper flume]

whose attribute is reload_extension?

discord.reload_extension?

[turbid condor]

obv bot

[copper flume]

ok let me do

[haughty summit]

but I just see the print in the beginning as I got the suggestion of initialzing the taskk inside on_ready function thet triggers once in the beginning

[turbid condor]

I haven't used jsk so don't know how that works

[turbid condor]

which lib are you using?

[haughty summit]

discord

version = '2.3.2'

[turbid condor]

discord not discord.py?

[haughty summit]

discord.py yeah

[turbid condor]

ok so your task only runs once?

[haughty summit]

I want the task to run in the background

in a loop

maybe I am messing with on_ready

butI though I just create task and already have the freq running

[turbid condor]

can you show how you are running it?

[haughty summit]

yeah sure

async def clean_cache(interval, cache, max_age):
    log_Helius_Ifz("Checking cache to be cleaned . . .")
    while True:
        current_time = time.time()
        to_remove = []
        
        for key, value in cache.items():
            if current_time - value['timestamp'] > max_age:
                to_remove.append(key)
        
        for key in to_remove:
            del cache[key]

        await asyncio.sleep(interval) ```

this the function

async def on_ready():
    log(f"Logged in as : {client.user.name}")
    asyncio.create_task( clean_cache(30, wallet_cache, 60))
    asyncio.create_task( clean_cache(60, wallet_transactions_count_cache, 60)) ```

[turbid condor]

and how are you starting it?

[haughty summit]

this the call

on-ready why I think is only initialization, so as first parameter is the sleep freq I guess would work triggering after that time is expired

but it does not

[turbid condor]

Why not use inbuilt task module?

That's fairly easier

[haughty summit]

Hmmm

easiest approach I want yeah

not really used to discord lib

how could be that one used/implemented?

[turbid condor]

from discord.ext import tasks

@task.loop(seconds=5)
async def my_loop():
    print(1)


# to start the loop use
my_loop.start()

[haughty summit]

lemme try

thhank you man

[turbid condor]

And I'll suggest using setup_hook instead of on_ready in discord.py

For suck stuff or use a command to run such task

Idk who told you on_ready triggers only once but that's a big lie

[haughty summit]

nobody just silly enough myself to imagine that

I have print message with logging time

[turbid condor]

Well then your imagination was wrong

[haughty summit]

only execurting once as I dont see that command more than once I run the bot for the first time

could I open you dm?

[turbid condor]

Well I'd rather stay here since someone more experienced pops up

[haughty summit]

Hmmm

that's fine

[turbid condor]

I didn't get what you mean is the task still executing only once?

[haughty summit]

this message only shows when I run the bot

not after so that's why it only executes once

[turbid condor]

Ah that this can happen frequently incase of reconnects which can occur during long runs

[copper flume]

doesn't make any difference

💀

[turbid condor]

Well your attribute which is '...' idk if you changed to this, is either none or does not have any attribute id

That's what above error says

[copper flume]

but brother

the line is commented 💀

i changed the bot's class name

[quick gust]

can you show your code?

[copper flume]

yes

class View(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    async def on_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error: Exception, item: Item[Any]):

        # if interaction.channel.permissions_for(interaction.guild.me).manage_channels is False:
        #     return await interaction.followup.send("...")```

[shrewd apex]

why do u have a class named ...

... is a thing in python called ellipsis

[copper flume]

i changed it

[haughty summit]

it does not seem to work

[turbid condor]

Can you show what you did?

[shrewd apex]

what exactly dosent work

[haughty summit]

    if not clean_cache_transactions.is_running():
        clean_cache_transactions.start(wallet_cache, 20)
    if not clean_cache.is_running():
        clean_cache.start(wallet_cache, 20) ```

async def clean_cache(cache, max_age):
    log_Helius_Ifz("Checking cache to be cleaned . . .")
    while True:
        current_time = time.time()
        to_remove = []
        
        for key, value in cache.items():
            if current_time - value['timestamp'] > max_age:
                to_remove.append(key)
        
        for key in to_remove:
            del cache[key]

@tasks.loop(seconds=10)
async def clean_cache_transactions(cache, max_age):
    log_Helius_Ifz("Checking cache Txs to be cleaned . . .")
    while True:
        current_time = time.time()
        to_remove = []
        
        for key, value in cache.items():
            if current_time - value['timestamp'] > max_age:
                to_remove.append(key)
        
        for key in to_remove:
            del cache[key] ```

so different caches and implemented two identical tasks but just for testing

only getting this message

[turbid condor]

And both are not repeating or even starting?

[haughty summit]

just one starting

but not repeatingsecond one is not even triggering

[copper flume]

anybody?

[turbid condor]

That's weird

[haughty summit]

yeah it is

even first approach should work

it shouldnt be that difficult to implementing back task for cleaning

[turbid condor]

Wait you aren't breaking out of while loop

[haughty summit]

I dont

just start in on_ready

getting this too but I have honestly ignored unitl now

[turbid condor]

Yeah it's due to you not quitting the while loop

[haughty summit]

oh wait

[turbid condor]

U need to break out of the while loop in your function

[haughty summit]

my bad

[turbid condor]

To consider it complete

[haughty summit]

didnt remove that from first approach

[turbid condor]

You aren't breaking out of both in both tasks

[haughty summit]

now both triggering!

lfg

Thank you @turbid condor

[turbid condor]

Yeah since the while loop made it stuck in a single continuation that's why the task wasn't restarting

[haughty summit]

yeah makes absolutely

was doing too fastdidint even realize

I would like to check few aspects about bot but too long I guess to type here

mostly related with not using builtin commands but scrapping them from message from user

also the warning I pasted previously

[red sparrow]

im trynna make my bot have a member pfp as an icon url but i dont really know how, tried this but doesnt work

[turbid condor]

First of all turn off the light it attracts bugs

[red sparrow]

how

[turbid condor]

What's ctx.server?

[red sparrow]

idk

i tried getting the author server

[turbid condor]

its ctx.guild

And what you did is all wrong

You can get the user who ran the command using ctx.author

Then for the pfp you can do
ctx.author.avatar.url

[red sparrow]

if i want a specific member of the server

[turbid condor]

Then use ctx.guild.get_member(int(id))

Or you use bot.get_member(id)

[red sparrow]

and after i do .avatar.url?

[turbid condor]

Just use that url where you want in embed

[copper flume]

anyone?

[turbid condor]

All on all in your code just change server to guild and avatar_url to avatar.url

Since servers are called guilds in documentation

[red sparrow]

like dis?

[copper flume]

how do i reload the cogs.ticket file?

I don't wanna reload the init.py

it is empty

[turbid condor]

Yeah should work tho you can just type Getpfp= bot.get_member(int(MaksimTarasov001))

[copper flume]

everything attribute starting with get_ takes id

[copper flume]

bot doesn't have any get_member

guild has, bot has get_user not get_member

[turbid condor]

Ah mb

Just checked it

[red sparrow]

gonna loose my fucking mind fr

[copper flume]

show code

[turbid condor]

Your member is returning nothing

[copper flume]

brother send the code, not screenshot

[red sparrow]

async def MaksimTarasov(ctx):
    Getpfp = bot.get_user(int(MaksimTarasov001))
    pfp = Getpfp.avatar.url
    embedVar = discord.Embed(title=Maksim_Tarasov["Name"], description="Team - Compton Chaos", color=Maksim_Tarasov["TeamColor"])
    embedVar.add_field(name="Position", value=Maksim_Tarasov["Position"], inline=False)
    embedVar.add_field(name="Archetype", value=Maksim_Tarasov["Archetype"], inline=False)
    embedVar.add_field(name="Height", value=Maksim_Tarasov["Height"], inline=False)
    embedVar.add_field(name="Weight", value=Maksim_Tarasov["Weight"], inline=False)
    embedVar.set_thumbnail(url=Maksim_Tarasov["TeamLogo"])
    embedVar.set_footer(text=Maksim_Tarasov["Userid"], icon_url=pfp)
    await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)```

[copper flume]

^

[red sparrow]

i have it its stored in MaskimTarasov001

[turbid condor]

Prolly your id is invalid or the user is not in guild, or the member isn't in cache

[copper flume]

then Getpfp is None

it means no such user associated with that id (in cache)

[red sparrow]

im on the server?

1193285339398295594

my user id

[copper flume]

directly put the id

[quick gust]

As an integer...

[turbid condor]

Try using await bot.fetch_user(int(id))

[copper flume]

print(Getpfp)

[turbid condor]

He's wrapping it in int

[quick gust]

Ah ok

[turbid condor]

await bot.fetch_user

[copper flume]

gotta learn some python

[turbid condor]

!d discord.User.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.avatar

property avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Asset) for the avatar the user has.

If the user has not uploaded a global avatar, `None` is returned. If you want the avatar that a user has displayed, consider [`display_avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.display_avatar).

[red sparrow]

Ty guys

[turbid condor]

Wild

[copper flume]

i recommend using bot.get_user and not fetch_user

[red sparrow]

with the await in front?

[copper flume]

as it fetches from API and does useless requests causing ratelimits

[turbid condor]

It's a cache issue that's why get isn't working

[copper flume]

fetch_user is await and get_user is not

[vernal moth]

File "C:\Program Files\Python312\Lib\site-packages\aiohttp\connector.py", line 1027, in _wrap_create_connection

DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=TOKEN The =TOKEN I will replace with my real token But Im using a DOTENV and when I run It i get a error about how It thinks Its a str so It read NoneType

[copper flume]

your network sucked

[turbid condor]

Sometimes takes times

[vernal moth]

bro im usind rdp its 1gbps speed internet

[copper flume]

wait are you using any proxy

[limber jolt]

Dont think so.

[vernal moth]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/AO7A

this is the error when i run the bot im tryn to make the bot online with a vps

[turbid condor]

Can you show how you fetching it

[copper flume]

nvm i got confused between you guys

[red sparrow]

when i use get_user

[turbid condor]

Just use fetch for now

[copper flume]

do you share mutual with the bot

and does the bot have member intents enabled

[red sparrow]

how do i test it then 💀

[vernal moth]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/AO7A

any1 can help to fix this error when i run the bot on my vps? it work on my pc but vps nah

[red sparrow]

yuh

[copper flume]

good question

[turbid condor]

Like u in same guild with bot

[limber jolt]

import random
import os
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ui import Select, View
import subprocess
import requests
import logging
from dotenv import load_dotenv


# Bot setup
load_dotenv()
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)``` And then to run It I have this after trying to debug ```try:
    bot.run(os.getenv('DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN'))
except discord.errors.LoginFailure as e:
    print(f"Error logging in: {e}")
except TypeError as e:
    print(f"Type Error: {e}")```

[red sparrow]

yuh else how would i test it

[copper flume]

print(discord.http.Route.BASE) before running bot

[vernal moth]

give me a muint to test

[copper flume]

brother

[copper flume]

you need to do python main.py and not python ticket.py

[turbid condor]

Doesn't appear to be any issue

[copper flume]

are you sure you have defiened the discord bot token correctly in .env?

[limber jolt]

Yh but It prints Token Expected str NoneType

[red sparrow]

the avatar is the error

[limber jolt]

DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=TOKEN =TOKEN I replace with my real token

[copper flume]

ah use fetch_user until you are ratelimited

[turbid condor]

Linter issue not code

[vernal moth]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/QUCQ

my python file name is ticket.py

and even if i change it it will give same error

[red sparrow]

delete this

[vernal moth]

i added the print thing that u told me and i got same error

[limber jolt]

Just leaked ur Token please delete It.

[red sparrow]

DONT SSHOW UR TOKEN

[turbid condor]

Renew you token

[copper flume]

i mean what is your main file

[vernal moth]

np its not full token 💀

[turbid condor]

It's almost full

[copper flume]

no it is half

brainrot

[limber jolt]

Still not good lol

[vernal moth]

ticket.py

[copper flume]

is that file in any directory?

[vernal moth]

nah in the main folder

[copper flume]

try running the bot in local

check if it runs

[turbid condor]

Can you tell which module u have installed for dotenv

[vernal moth]

i was run it on my pc with python ticket.py and everything was good i uploaded the folders to rdp to make it 24/7 up and started get this error

[limber jolt]

I never rlly usd Dotenv but this Is the format as I was told

[copper flume]

your rdp is bad

[turbid condor]

Well you need to install a module before you use .env i believe

[vernal moth]

i paid for it lol how i can fix xd

[limber jolt]

What one?

[copper flume]

do you have firewalls?

[vernal moth]

yup i opened 443 tcp

[copper flume]

for lavalink?

[turbid condor]

!pip dotenv-python

[unkempt canyon]

dotenv-python v0.0.1

Read .env(-ish) configuration file for python web applications.

Released on <t:1485617645:D>.

[copper flume]

ah no

[vernal moth]

i didnt understand

[turbid condor]

Not this one

[copper flume]

why 443 is opened

[limber jolt]

I pip installed that. I already have It

[turbid condor]

!pip python-dotenv

[unkempt canyon]

python-dotenv v1.0.1

Read key-value pairs from a .env file and set them as environment variables

Released on <t:1705991580:D>.

[turbid condor]

Use this one

[red sparrow]

what happen if i get rate limited

[turbid condor]

Wait for a few hours

[copper flume]

i am not sure then, but i can say your code is okay and you have issue with RDP

[red sparrow]

the bot wont work?

[turbid condor]

Yes

[red sparrow]

a

[turbid condor]

Tho i doubt you will get rate limited if that's a small bot

[limber jolt]

Still nothing.

[turbid condor]

You uninstalled old one?

[limber jolt]

Oops no

[turbid condor]

pip uninstall dotenv-python

[limber jolt]

Done and I pip installed the new one and still nothing

[boreal sigil]

how do i do that?

[vernal moth]

fr idk

[mild token]

interaction.client do not have owner am i missing something? how can i check client owner? found myself

[boreal sigil]

@turbid condor can u help me with a bunch of stuff?

i need:
a basic mute cmd (the one i have atm is half done and super difficult)
to finish this reply cmd with the parameters i want
probs a bunch of other stuff but im focusing on this atm

[carmine folio]

Fuck discord its the worst platform fuck this shit
Goggle meet> discord

[glossy flame]

is it against discord tos to send messages in a specific server via my bot? for example, if i were to make it so that whatever i input to the console it sends to a channel in the server

[slate swan]

If a bot has Access to a channel it Can send messages, but kinf of weird to randomly send a message in different server

[glossy flame]

im in the server myself, but i just wanted to make sure it isnt against the rules to do so

[rain hedge]

I mean, don't think so but its weird

[glossy flame]

its a personal server, so just as a gimmick

[rain hedge]

I would speak with the owner so they dont remove the bot.

But I dont think thats breaking tos

[stoic tusk]

d! ctx.role.id

[midnight oracle]

Do you have ffmpeg as an .exe there to use it in hosting env? (Just curious)

[vital ore]

Bud your entire token is in the pastelink! Refresh your token and delete that message..

[turbid condor]

sry was busy at that time and can you explain what you trying to do a bit more

[limber jolt]

Hello does anyone has atleast some Python coding skill and would like to make a bot with me?

[mild token]

from on_error how will i get the interaction paramter which user passed?

[finite salmon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=discord ui view#discord.ui.View.on_error

It's first parameter is the interaction itself

[limber jolt]

My bot IS not running

It wont print Its ready

And wont go online

[mild token]

that will return obj i dont know the property or method what it is used to get

[finite salmon]

What

wym

[limber jolt]

AYO

What Is that name

[mild token]

it returns the object if u print it

i want to know is there any method or property to get the paramter which application_command used at the time of invocation

[finite salmon]

Jiggly Balls

[limber jolt]

Weird...

[finite salmon]

Just read the docs and find what attribute you're trying to find

Go to the docs and search for discord.Interaction and look at the list of attributes under it

[finite salmon]

Are you trying the get the name of the command in the view from which the error came?

[mild token]

parameter which that command have

[mild token]

i did that not found thats why i asked here

[finite salmon]

You're trying to access the commands parameters inside the view's on_error right?

[mild token]

on command tree yes

[finite salmon]

You'll have to just pass in the commands parameters to the view's __init__ method and access it from there then

[mild token]

i doubt its the right way

[finite salmon]

Why

[mild token]

i remember earlier when there was just text command they have some property which tells that

[finite salmon]

There isn't any built in method of function for every little thing in dpy

You'll have to apply general python knowledge also

[mild token]

its there they need to request to endpoint to register

[mild token]

i am not saying it will not work but its not the right and efficient way

[finite salmon]

Tbh this way is more efficient

Even if any method like that exist, getting data from memory is much faster than from a request to an endpoint

[mild token]

i think u dont understand d.py concept it raises error only if there will be error and then error handler will triggered

[finite salmon]

Yes, I know

[mild token]

using property doesnt ping the api again all are injected in __init__ already and there are propeties defined to access it

[finite salmon]

You can bind it to the class instance and access it in the on_error

class Test(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, param_name, *args):
        self.param_name = param_name
    async def on_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error: Exception, item: discord.Item):
        print(self.param_name)

[quick gust]

I think you can do interaction.command.parameters, not sure if that's what ure looking for though

[timber dragon]

Not really, that's a View

[quick gust]

ah right, nvm

I thought they said commandtree or something

[mild token]

@finite salmon @quick gust this is what i was looking for https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=namespace#discord.app_commands.Namespace

<Namespace player_tag='2ppppppp'> this is how u get the name and value of parameter

[quick gust]

Nice 👍🏼

[solid turtle]

lf for people to help me code like a team.

• making any bot that we can think to come to mind

yo

any discord people active?

[boreal sigil]

Make various hybrid commands

One which is /reply

And it could be:
/reply <message ID to reply to> <what to reply with> <do you want to have reply mention true or false>

[finite salmon]

Alr

[solid turtle]

When using hybrid commands, is there any way to detect which way the command was used? I have a command that needs a file uploaded to work but since you cant upload files AND use slash commands, I need a way to detect if the slash command is being used and alert the user

[timber dragon]

wdym you can't upload files while using slash

there is a whole type attachments: annotate a param with discord.Attachment and discord will show a neat ui where users can upload a file

and ext.commands will also fill it in when a file is passed with the message

[dense falcon]

oh thats convenient

thanks

[radiant shuttle]

hello how the lists on the embed called, i mean the new funtion that you click and a list that you choose a selection appears

[faint sapphire]

selector

[finite salmon]

You mean select menus?
example: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

guide: https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/views/#select-menus

[faint sapphire]

possible to make a bot copy paste images?
such that, if the original gets deleted, the copied one remains.
so not like copy pasting the url/image link

[finite salmon]

You can save the image sent somewhere in your bots directory or just save the binary data of the image in a db or smt

[faint sapphire]

no way around that :/

[boreal sigil]

can i have some help with this? 😭

if u want context just see the replies to stuff

if any1 wants to help me just ping me ill be here

[faint sapphire]

I think message deletion is an event, so when u retrieve the content and theres an image, I wondered if its possible to simply send that image to another channel directly

[faint sapphire]

make multiple choices inside the command

I mean multiple inputs

[finite salmon]

Yeah the attachment will be present and to access it you'll have to use the proxy_url attribute https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=message#discord.Attachment.proxy_url

And you'll have to save the image in some form and then send it to the respective channel, this url will only be valid for a few minutes before it becomes invalid

[finite salmon]

And after saving and sending to the channel you can delete it from you database or however you save the image

[boreal sigil]

how does one do that?

[faint sapphire]

ive only used choices.
but its like discord.utils I think

its so common theres prob an inf tutorials on it

[boreal sigil]

alr

[turbid condor]

Do you have any prior experience with creating commands?

[boreal sigil]

uuh

a bit - ive made some stuff

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

made this

[turbid condor]

Ok good now this will be a hybrid command too i assume?

[boreal sigil]

yeah

made lock, unlock, hide, unhide, ban, unban

ping too

[turbid condor]

Ok now what you need to do first of all create the arguments in a function

namely

• message_id : int
• reply: str
• flag : bool

You getting it?

[boreal sigil]

yeah to a degree

btw i love ur banner

[turbid condor]

Ok so tell me how the function decleration will look?

[boreal sigil]

so would that be the async def bit

[turbid condor]

Yes

[boreal sigil]

@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
@bot.hybrid_command()
async def reply(ctx, replymessage=None, message_id, flag):
    """ Makes the bot reply to a message """

this probs has like 15,000 errors

[turbid condor]

It's ok but you need to typehint

[boreal sigil]

!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]

alr had to check what it was

so i gotta import typing

then what does one need to do?

[turbid condor]

Well in this case u might

[boreal sigil]

welp its not defined anywhere else

[turbid condor]

Ok I'll show you an example of what typehint looks like

async def reply(ctx:command.Context, id:int, message: str , flag: Literal["True","False"] = "True")```

This typehinting

[boreal sigil]

ahhk

got this so far

# REPLY COMMAND - IN PROGRESS!!
import typing
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
@bot.hybrid_command()
async def reply(ctx:command.Context, id:int, message: str , flag: Literal["True","False"] = "True"):
    """ Makes the bot reply to a message """
    await ctx.reply(message)
@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

[turbid condor]

Now first thing you need to do is get the guild object of where the command is used

[boreal sigil]

so would that be guild id or channel id or smth else

[turbid condor]

Then use get_message on that guild object using the id arg

[turbid condor]

No you can extract guild from ctx

[boreal sigil]

what is guild object just before we continue

[quick gust]

an object representing a guild

!d discord.Guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild

class discord.Guild```
Represents a Discord guild.

This is referred to as a “server” in the official Discord UI.

x == y Checks if two guilds are equal.

x != y Checks if two guilds are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the guild’s hash.

str(x) Returns the guild’s name.

[boreal sigil]

ahhk

[boreal sigil]

so get_message <id> finds the message to reply to

[turbid condor]

Yes

But make sure to wrap id in int() function

[quick gust]

you shouldn't name your argument id, see how it highlights as yellow in discord? id is already a thing in python and you shouldnt be assigning it any value like that

[quick gust]

you can't get or fetch messages from guilds, only channels

[turbid condor]

Yeah mb just checked the docs

[boreal sigil]

ahh ok

new goal: find out how tf i do this

[quick gust]

do what?

[boreal sigil]

continue

do get_message

stay alive

[turbid condor]

Just rename id to messag_id or something

[quick gust]

can the user make the bot reply to ANY message in any channel? or only the channel the command is ran in

[boreal sigil]

so now it'd be this then?

async def reply(ctx:command.Context, message_id:int, message: str , flag: Literal["True","False"] = "True"):

[boreal sigil]

uuh probs the latter

actually

the first one

[quick gust]

alright so you'll also need the channel id then, or the ID of the member who sent the message you want to reply to

[boreal sigil]

so so message id

wait a min

id of the member or message?

[quick gust]

member who sent the messagee you want to reply to

[boreal sigil]

is there like a way to get the message author from the message ID

[quick gust]

lets say if you want to reply to this message, you will either need 493344822900424714 (which is my ID) or 343944376055103488 (whcih is this channel's ID)

[quick gust]

Yeah

[boreal sigil]

so if i want to reply to any message in any channel i need to get the authors id

[quick gust]

the author of the message that you are replying to

not the person who ran the command

[boreal sigil]

ok so how do i get that

[quick gust]

ask for it in the command arguments

[boreal sigil]

ik i didnt mean that

[boreal sigil]

and how do i do that 😭

[quick gust]

add another argument channel_id or author_id whatever u want

[quick gust]

what does it say?

[boreal sigil]

async def reply(ctx:command.Context, message_id:int, message: str , flag: Literal["True","False"] = "True", author_id:int):

[scarlet tiger]

You have optional arguments before

[boreal sigil]

oh so that goes at start

ahhhhhhh makes sense

[quick gust]

conventionally before message_id

[boreal sigil]

done

fixed and no errors (yet)

[quick gust]

Ok so now that you have the author id

[boreal sigil]

btw theres this too

[quick gust]

commands.Context

[boreal sigil]

ahhk

what next?

[quick gust]

• fetch the member using member = ctx.guild.fetch_member(author_id)
• fetch their message using msg = member.fetch_message(message_id)
• reply to the msg

also make sure to check if the ID is valid (member/msg will raise NotFound if its invalid)

[turbid condor]

Uhh just a question wouldn't asking for a member object be more convenient then the id?

[quick gust]

Actually true

[quick gust]

@boreal sigil dont do the first part

[boreal sigil]

hahah ok

[quick gust]

change your argument to author instead of author_id and typehint it to discord.Member

[boreal sigil]

ok

[turbid condor]

Wouldn't need to use get_member and is easier to mention the user then actually getting their id and then using that

[boreal sigil]

have this so far

[quick gust]

remove member = ...

you just need author.fetch_message now

[quick gust]

i meant remove the whole line...

[turbid condor]

message = author.fetch_message(int(message_id))just use this

[boreal sigil]

oh rip

[quick gust]

also await it

[boreal sigil]

k

[slate swan]

await might be a good idea as well

[turbid condor]

!d discord.Member.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) from the destination.

[turbid condor]

Yeah a coro so await

[boreal sigil]

im stupid so i know this is not what yall meant but my brain cant handle tryna figure out what yall did mean

[turbid condor]

After equal sign

[slate swan]

How much of python/async do you know in the first place

[quick gust]

it's probably a good idea to learn python first

[boreal sigil]

some

this my first time using it for discord bots tho

[slate swan]

discord.py is not made for people who only know some of python and async

It's made for people with advanced knowledge

[quick gust]

I mean even someone with some knowledge would know how to await a coroutine

I have a feeling this is ur first time doing async

[boreal sigil]

i mean

ive done a few command bits

[scarlet tiger]

Learn in more detail how Python and async work before making a Discord bot

[slate swan]

There's a list somewhere which shows what you should know before jumping in

[opal vortex]

nope, it's made so then I can try running it with 4.0.0 of aiohttp and then bitch to aiohttp devs that they need to special case ws and wss urls to make discord.py work and gives someone to blame. 😅

[dense falcon]

Is it possible to get the person who deleted a message? If they aren't the message author ofc

[quick gust]

check audit logs?

I haven't used em in a minute cant remember if it logs who deleted a message

[boreal sigil]

this is my code for it - its the most basic there is
its #ed out cuz i dont use it

[quick gust]

If they aren't the message author ofc

[dense falcon]

Yeah, I think I read somewhere that the information isn't provided at all with discord.py but I wanted to know if there was a simpler workaround

[quick gust]

you can try to see if it appears in audit logs

idk any other workaround

[dense falcon]

alrighty

[boreal sigil]

ive learnt more about async and also fixed my mistake - am i able to continue now?

[west hare]

Do you know how to edit original message from View? I'm making pagination
some minimal code:```py
class Pagination(ui.View):
def init(self: "Pagination", msgs: list[str], page: int) -> None:
super().init()
self.msgs = msgs
self.page = page
self.last_page = len(msgs)

@ui.button(label="Next", custom_id="pagination_next", style=ButtonStyle.blurple)
async def next(self: Self, interaction: Interaction, button: ui.Button) -> None:
    self.page += 1
    await interaction.edit_original_response(content=self.msgs[self.page], view=self)

and it called from slash command like that:```py
await interaction.response.send_message(msgs[page], view=Pagination(msgs=msgs, page=page), ephemeral=True, suppress_embeds=True)

This code currently can only send first message, but on button press it looks like show error from timeout

I've also tried```py
await interaction.message.edit(content=self.msgs[self.page], view=self)

[turbid condor]

try using interaction.response.edit_message()

!d discord.InteractionResponse.edit_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.edit\_message

await edit_message(*, content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=..., delete_after=None, suppress_embeds=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Responds to this interaction by editing the original message of a component or modal interaction.

[west hare]

yeh, seems like it is what I need, thanks

[turbid condor]

well the reason for error is that you are trying to edit a response that should be sent while using the button whereas you are not sending any response on button press hence getting an error

[spring rampart]

what should i use to host my discord bot!?!?!?!?

idk if there are any free hosting things

but i kinda need that cuz im broke

[fervent bloom]

sameeee

[dim pond]

Search Daki bot hosting on Google they offer free bot hosting and I host my bot on it too!

[spring rampart]

ooooh nice

thx dude!!

[dim pond]

Np

Do anyone have a source code of discord bot (Python) I kinda need it you can give me any bot like moderator, fun or any category

[flint parrot]

I'm actually working on one right now, when i get a few basic commands done i can send you the gitlab repo

[dim pond]

Ok Thanks dude!

[digital hill]

Hey, I'm working on a bot discord, however, I don't know how to display a json image url through my bot, like for example: "imageUrl": "my_image_path.jpg".

Any idea ?

[limber jolt]

My script Isnt working and idk why I try to load cogs but it dont work the cogs folder has my files with my stuff.

Aka that part of the bot

Im making diff files for other parts

Like fun ect

[limber jolt]

Please help

[fast osprey]

Code? Behavior?

[limber jolt]

Alright can we maybe take It too DMs?

[fast osprey]

I don't help in dm's personally

[limber jolt]

Alright

So

I have a cogs folder iwth my shift commands

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/CJXA

Shift commands Is that link

!paste

!paste

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/7SAA

Then thats my main bot.py but when I do any of the commands iN the first link It says they dont exist.

  bot.add_cog(Shift(bot))
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback
Failed to load cog: Extension 'cogs.shift' raised an error: TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression``` And thats the error I get when It prints error.

[fast osprey]

Adding cogs is async in dpy 2.0+ (and forks of it)

[limber jolt]

whfsfjfs

[fast osprey]

[limber jolt]

Not done this for awhile

[fast osprey]

If your existing code/knowledge was on a 1.x version and you are now on a 2.x version, there is a migration guide in the docs

[limber jolt]

Im reading the error. It tells me to add await and then It tells me you cant add await

[timber dragon]

1. Make sure the setup func is async
2. await add_cog
3. await load_extension ✅

[limber jolt]

try:
await add_cog('cogs.shift')
await bot.load_extension('cogs.shift') # Load your cog(s) here
print('Cog loaded successfully')
except Exception as e:
print(f'Failed to load cog: {e}')

cogs iS the folder Its iN

[fast osprey]

that's not what you pass into add_cog

do you know the difference between a cog and an extension?

[limber jolt]

Fluff no

[fast osprey]

The two sections in the docs for each explain it well

but a lot of people use the term "cog" erroneously to refer to extensions

[ember nest]

Anyone here have made money by bot development? Dm me I got few questions

[digital hill]

Hey, I'm working on a bot discord, however, I don't know how to display a json image url through my bot, like for example: "imageUrl": "my_image_path.jpg".

Any idea ?

[slate swan]

Hello! I am making a Discord bot, and I am trying to make it where it gets a list from a JSON file and loops through it for specific keywords that have a specific "theme". I store the words into a list and basically sort through them. However, for some freaking reason, the list gets cleared when it is done getting sorted (inside of a for loop), and I end up getting an IndexError. Can anyone help out? Thank you!!!

Code

What a "word" looks like

{
  "content": "example",
  "theme": "randomtheme",
  "level": 5
}

For loop

def return_new_word(selected_theme: str) -> str:
    words: list = []
    sus_words: list = loads(open('data/dict/sus_words.json').read())

    for word in sus_words:
        if word['theme'] == selected_theme and not word['theme'] == 'target':
            words.append(word['content'])
        elif word['theme'] == 'target':
            for guild in client.guilds:
                for member in guild.members:
                    words.append(member.name)
                    break

    return choice(words)  # This is where the error occurs

[idle vault]

In that, you need to do async def setup, then await the bot add_cog

[fast osprey]

What's the error and traceback?

[midnight oracle]

IndexError?

[slate swan]

Hi! Sorry, but I already fixed it, but thank you for asking about it! :D

[midnight oracle]

Oh, okay

What was it? I'm curious

[stray linden]

dang i wish this was higher in the list

imma make a mod bot

[limber jolt]

Fixed thanks!! I fixed this ages ago and over the past few hours i've added like 4-5 other files with fun and moderation commands but only the commands from shift.py work I've made sure to laod them all.

[solid turtle]

someone said a selfbot is dangerous den a bot

can anyone tell me why

[turbid condor]

For one you know it's a bot for second you don't know

Then if the self.bot has permissions it can mess up your server real good since user acc has different rate limits then bots

[solid turtle]

but bots still can mess up ur server

dm on rate limits I made a bot that can bypass this bot called "security bot" for testing purposes

it took the bot 2 seconds to ban it while it took my bot 1.86 to delete the channels and ban 95/150 people.

theoretically

[timber dragon]

Weird flex but ok

[solid turtle]

mainly to see if I can make something better

Spamming won't help anyone!

[fast osprey]

You also should not be looking for videos to teach you non visual concepts. There's a lot at play here, you will want to read articles to know how to do these things individually then tie them together rather than solely looking for one thing that tells you how to do this exact combination of them. Those "tutorials" more often than not are extremely low quality and just throw bad code at you without teaching you anything about the choices being made

[dire loom]

And you won't learn anything by watching a video. You aren't a visual learner, regardless of what you say.

[boreal sigil]

hey so I made some code for a command that sends a button menu kinda thing but the colours arent working.

class Menu(discord.ui.View):
    def _init_(self):
        super()._init_()
        self.value = None
class SimpleView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=30)  # times out after 30 seconds
        rulesbutton = discord.ui.Button(label='Read the Rules', style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, url='https://discord.com/channels/1237815910887194624/1239284848057651391', emoji='⛔', color=0xff0000)
        self.add_item(rulesbutton)
        rolesbutton = discord.ui.Button(label='Self Roles', style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, url='https://discord.com/channels/1237815910887194624/1237826995941806231', emoji='💻', color=0x00b6ff)
        self.add_item(rolesbutton)
        colorbutton = discord.ui.Button(label='Name Colour', style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, url='https://discord.com/channels/1237815910887194624/1237827021137248287', emoji='🌈', color=0xf100ff)
        self.add_item(colorbutton)
        ticketbutton = discord.ui.Button(label='Help and Support', style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, url='https://discord.com/channels/1237815910887194624/1237874844595654707', emoji='🎫', color=0xfff700)
        self.add_item(ticketbutton)
        infobutton = discord.ui.Button(label='General Info', style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, url='https://discord.com/channels/1237815910887194624/1246832229003558932', emoji='📜', color=0x00ff59)
        self.add_item(infobutton)

@bot.command() 
async def button(ctx):
    welcome = discord.Embed(title = f"Heya, {ctx.author.display_name}, welcome to The Pikachu Crew!", description = f"Welcome to The Pikachu Crew. I hope you enjoy your time here! Please use the buttons below to navigate to useful channels.")
    await ctx.send(embed=welcome, view=SimpleView()) 

ik the bot.command bit doesnt make sense but im just putting it as a bot command before i make it into a welcome message

[fast osprey]

url buttons have a consistent style

You can't change their color

[boreal sigil]

oh

how can i make buttons that take you to a certain channel, have an emoji and have a color

[turbid condor]

You can't have a url button in that way it can only contain text and emoji everything else but the style is fixed meaning you can't change color

[boreal sigil]

oh

is there an alternative to a url button that still can take you to a channel?

[turbid condor]

You can use hyperlinks

[boreal sigil]

ooo

[turbid condor]

Google

[boreal sigil]

so put those as the text then?

the text

[turbid condor]

Yes

[boreal sigil]

would I change style=discord.ButtonStyle.url to style=discord.ButtonStyle.text

[turbid condor]

No that won't work on buttons

It's just text

As in content of a message

[boreal sigil]

so do i keep style=discord.ButtonStyle.url as it is?

[timber dragon]

Yeah else it will error

There is ButtonStyle.text even

[boreal sigil]

so i keep style=discord.ButtonStyle.url?

[timber dragon]

Yes.

[boreal sigil]

ok

[timber dragon]

Why are these buttons anyways

[boreal sigil]

thanks it wasnt very clear lol

[timber dragon]

Discord renders urls and stuff

[boreal sigil]

ik

i wanted it to look cooler

[timber dragon]

Fair

[boreal sigil]

and also learning curve

[boreal sigil]

so its now going to be smth like this?

        rulesbutton = discord.ui.Button(label='[Read the Rules](https://discord.com/channels/1237815910887194624/1239284848057651391)', style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, emoji='⛔', color=0xff0000)
        self.add_item(rulesbutton)

[turbid condor]

No

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

Look in here how to make buttons

[timber dragon]

You must use the url= kwarg if the style is set to url

You cannot use markdown on the label

[boreal sigil]

so its now going to be smth like this?

        rulesbutton = discord.ui.Button(url='[Read the Rules](https://discord.com/channels/1237815910887194624/1239284848057651391)', style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, emoji='⛔', color=0xff0000)
        self.add_item(rulesbutton)

[patent hull]

url is an url

you can just put the "Read the Rules" text in label

[timber dragon]

^ you want label="read the rules" and url="the url here"

WITH the style and optional emoji

Oh and you cannot change the color of the button lol

• without index

If "with index" is selected -> input index (int) required.
Else (if "without index" is selected) -> index defaults to 0.

I'd like to implement this type of slash command, could you give me some advice??
