[wanton current]

because .from_dict() is a classmethod, the part before it (title="", description="") doesn't do anything, and you're left with an empty embed

[open cobalt]

I looked into the docs, it works like that test_emebd = {"title":"...", "description":"..."}

and then you pass it into this method and it creates an embed with the given informations

[smoky sinew]

Do not use from_dict

[open cobalt]

yeah I know what this method does, embed has also to_dict method

[smoky sinew]

Doesn’t seem like you know what it does

[timber dragon]

I think you want to use str.join here for the description

data = {
    "Foo"    : "Bar",
    "Foot"   : "Ball",
    "HOTEL"  : "TRIVAGO"
}
friendly_dict = "\n".join(
    f"{key} -> {value}"
    for key, value in data.items()
)
print(friendly_dict)
# Foo -> Bar
# Foot -> Ball
# HOTEL -> TRIVAGO
# ^ one print

nonfriendly_dict = " AAA ".join(key+value for key, value in data.items())
print(nonfriendly_dict)
# FooBar AAA FootBall AAA HOTELTRIVAGO

How to get object, ID or Mention Attribute for Sub Commands on App Commands?

[slate swan]

When you walk over commands, it can be a group - if it's a group, then it also have a walk commands method or just the commands attribute

[spiral crypt]

Howdy! I have this role menu being added to a server, the emotes are in a different server the bot is in, is there any way for the reactions being added to be those emotes?

emoji_dict = {
        'Party': '![Party](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1303588149607272468.webp?size=128 "Party")',
        'Challenge': '![Challenge](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1303588004371107942.webp?size=128 "Challenge")',
        'Crafting': '![Crafting](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1303587880832204842.webp?size=128 "Crafting")',
        'Valdos': '![Valdos](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1303586402939830324.webp?size=128 "Valdos")',
        'Divine': '![Divine](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1303587924771602495.webp?size=128 "Divine")'
    }

I have a dictionary of the ids as I read in an earlier post

    for emote, reaction in just_in_case.items():
        try:
            await message.add_reaction(reaction)

And then just basic reaction adding so im not really sure what else can be done

[blissful crane]

bots have a limited version of nitro, it allows them to react to messages with emojis from any server they're in

[fast osprey]

• reaction based flows are pretty outdated, and you'll get severely rate limited on reacting. Consider ui elements for things you want users to interact with
• if you just want to allow users to opt into roles, consider the built-in onboarding options (channels & roles menu)

[spiral crypt]

Its not a big server at all, highest load is just going to be at launch, after that im expecting only a couple a day so i doubt rate limiting is an issue

Plus this looks prettier imo if I can get it to work

as well as the mods of the server don't really know what they're doing so I dont think theyll be able to set up the onboarding thing- They said they didn't even know how to add emotes

[fast osprey]

I mean it exists and is a standard way for people to ask for roles in any server they go into, and doesn't rely on a bot constantly waiting and processing reactions, but you do you

[spiral crypt]

And how do they later opt out or into other roles?

[glad pivot]

I hope it will be good!!

succes

[fast osprey]

They can opt in and out at will, it's a separate dialogue that's always available (not just during onboarding)

[spiral crypt]

So I know you advised against it, but how would I tell the bot to look out for reactions on a already existing role menu after it restarts x3

[sick birch]

You would use on_raw_reaction_add/on_raw_reaction_remove which don't rely on the internal message cache.

you may also be able to force cache the reaction role message by fetching it but i'm not sure how well that would work/if at all

[spiral crypt]

Will do some playing around! Thanks!

[blissful badge]

having a weird issue and running into some issues trying to solve it.

moved my bots to a new VM and getting the modules installed but everytime I try to start it i get the error message "module dotenv not found"

i have installed python-dotenv and even rebooted for good measure but it continues to do it.

is python-env not what I need?

[merry cliff]

maybe you are running the bot in a different environment? the lib is correct

[blissful badge]

My knowledge on discord.py has weird missing chunks, I downloaded it through command line and am running the bot through there. is that not what you mean?

[merry cliff]

did you pip install the library the same place you ran the bot?

no just the same VM, the same terminal

[blissful badge]

Yes same VM/terminal

[merry cliff]

are you using virtual environments or installing globally

[blissful badge]

installing globally

[merry cliff]

ok can you paste the install and run command as well as the error?

it might have a hidden detail

[blissful badge]

Install (in command line): py -m pip install python-env
run (in command line): poetry run python scnewsbot

[slate swan]

im getting a problem here: from discord.ui import Select, View

[merry cliff]

can you try runjning without poetry? I think thjat makes a seperate env

[blissful badge]

so i got the dotenv sorted out but running into a different issue, its saying the module audioop isn't found, think that one was deprecated so trying to replace with audioop-lts

which is weird ftr because audioop isn't anywhere in my code

so unsure why its even throwing that error??

weird, its letting me start it from vscode, but not from my .bat file which worked before

wtf lmao

[merry cliff]

maybe your vscode is running a different version?

[mint pecan]

how can i type annotate channels?

[rugged shadow]

discord.TextChannel

or whatever type of channel

[mint pecan]

i meant all types of channel

[rugged shadow]

there was an ABC for those i think

[mint pecan]

discord.abc.GuildChannel?

[slate swan]

yeh

!d discord.abc.Messageable # there's also that

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable

class discord.abc.Messageable```
An ABC that details the common operations on a model that can send messages.

The following classes implement this ABC...

[mint pecan]

how can i make my bot send @ everyone without pinging everyone?

[slate swan]

allowed_mentions kwarg

[stark ingot]

It is used within discord.py
Technically discord.py does not support python 3.13 yet. But as far as I am aware the temporary fix is as easy as installing audioop-lts

[blissful badge]

I did do that but it throws the same issue, would rolling Python back to an older version be better for the time being?

[stark ingot]

Your choice. Are you sure you installed it in the right place? IE in the same venv as your bot

[mint pecan]

What is the best place to sync commands when my bot is a "slash commands only" bot?

[fast osprey]

"Best" is relative. Really it's entirely your preference given only you should be doing it

Sync prefix command, command line param, sync reaction listener, whatever you want

[mint pecan]

What's sync reaction listener?

[slate swan]

Sync commands when you react to a specific message with a (specific) emoji

[fast osprey]

You can have this trigger off of literally any event you could perform on discord, or something you could send to the process directly

[dense falcon]

How can I reset the cooldown of a command from another task/function, as well as reset it for all users? I have a daily "checkin" system set up that I want to reset at midnight utc for all users

[craggy anvil]

how to disable timeout on buttons

to be clickable forever

[blissful crane]

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

making a button persistent makes it so you can click the button even after the bot restarts

however setting timeout=None will make it so the button never times out (if the bot restarts the button won't respond anymore tho)

[slate swan]

what are good hosts for discord bots

idm paid ones just nothing stupidly expensive

[fast osprey]

!hosting

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it or Heroku for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[slate swan]

thank you

[mint pecan]

how can i apply a permissions check for all of the commands inside a cog?

[spiral crypt]

This worked tyty

I tried fetching the message but i wasnt able to figure it out

So the raw reaction worked and just have checks if the message is the expected saved message id

[turbid condor]

Just use the check decorator above the cog class definition

If i remember correctly that's how you do it

[mint pecan]

its still there

[fast osprey]

What type of commands?

[leaden olive]

has anything changed in making discord commands, beacuse i somehow get an error saying Unknown integration after using a command

last time i started the bot was in february, so i am a bit outdated

[scarlet tiger]

I solved the problem by kicking the bot and then inviting it back to the server. Did you try that?

[obsidian pine]

Can i use other server's emoji in my bot's if bot is not added in it?

[fast osprey]

No

[young dagger]

Just like you can't use emojis from a server you haven't joined yourself

[topaz lodge]

I made a discord bot for a server I moderate and I want to make a easy to use panel that I can distribute among the other mods to control the bot have yall got any tips on how I can use the ui to make the bot function

[mint pecan]

how can i add multiple embeds when responding?

[slate swan]

embeds kwarg

[mint pecan]

you can only set that once?

[slate swan]

?

[mint pecan]

oh yeah i forgot there are two embeds and embed

[slate swan]

You just can't use both, it's either one or the other

[mint pecan]

do i combine the embeds with a list? i dont get what does Sequence mean

[slate swan]

Where did you get that Sequence from?

Docs are pretty clear

[mint pecan]

the function signature

in my ide it says Sequence

[slate swan]

It's a sort of list

[timber dragon]

Sequence means something iterable technically
Like a list or tuple

uhh hello i know that this is the wrong channel to ask in but i dont know why "is there a channel to learn how to code python"

[obsidian forum]

well ye there might be

[shy osprey]

were?

[obsidian forum]

I think i can help

Heyy

[obsidian forum]

Im sorry I can't find any

But there's app easycoder

U can use it

and i can help too

[fast osprey]

https://pythondiscord.com/pages/resources ?

[obsidian forum]

Hey thanks

[stark ingot]

If you are using pycord you can use ext.pages Im not sure if there are other libraires with a feature like this. But there is not built in API way to do so. So you either have to do it yourself or use a library tool/extension

[shrewd apex]

https://gist.github.com/InterStella0/454cc51e05e60e63b81ea2e8490ef140 a tutorial for how to do so but its dependent on this external package/extension also by same creator as discord.py https://github.com/Rapptz/discord-ext-menus
the logic behind it is fairly simple you can implement it yourself as well without any external dependencies
if you are looking for a readymade library here is one of them https://github.com/Defxult/reactionmenu

[steep estuary]

I created 2 new discord bots and the problem is that they work fine for some time but then stop working without giving any error help

one bot was working fine for 5 days and then stopped working

[fast osprey]

What does "stop working" entail? Do you have any logs? Is the process itself running?

[slate swan]

i cant figure out how to add this image thing in the title of an embed, can anyone help?

!d discord.Embed.set_author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_author

set_author(*, name, url=None, icon_url=None)```
Sets the author for the embed content.

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

[slate swan]

Set the icon_url

[slate swan]

oh thanks lol

[spiral crypt]

Is there a way in python for bots, to have like a console command be registered, but with it not like having to always wait for input, cuz that would probably cause other issues right?

[fast osprey]

Id recommend you just send messages to the bot. It's like a strictly better console

[mint pecan]

how can i implement a config manager for my bot?

[slate swan]

Have a database and save the configs for the guild ids

[mint pecan]

should i use json instead?

[fast osprey]

You should not use flat files to store things that are changing at run time

Even then json is a shit config format

[mint pecan]

isnt a database for structured data? i want to save some config that have different structures

[stark ingot]

Your data most likely still has some structure. Even if some of it is custom, you can store it in a JSON Column

[fast osprey]

You can have non relational databases, but there's really no reason to here. You are declaring a relation

You have a finite set of settings

[mint pecan]

but json itself is non-relational?

[fast osprey]

Not really sure what you're getting at

[mint pecan]

wdym am i wrong?

[fast osprey]

You use a database to record things that change at run time. Period.

You may opt for different database engines depending on the nature of your data

[mint pecan]

but that would kinda defeat the point since you're still using json?

[stark ingot]

Only a little bit. The main reason you dont use normal json is because of the fact that it is just a file, reading/writing can be slow and error prone. A database is designed for reading and writing. Also I have ~5 "normal" columns and 1 JSONB column for my semi-custom key value pairs.

[fast osprey]

Having a suboptimal schema is far less of a problem than using flat files

You could in theory shove everything into a giant jsonb column. This would be slow and strip you of data integrity and other benefits of relational data, but at least you'd have atomic read/writes

[mint pecan]

oh right so the solution is switch to a database and jsonb columns btw i also want to "automically" create a discord command for each of the config's flag so that i can change it on runtime with less writing is this bad or a good practice? is there a better way?

[fast osprey]

I am personally suggesting you don't just fall back onto jsonb to avoid thinking about your schema. You do you though

[mint pecan]

ill try to do it, what about this question?

[open cobalt]

getting this error while adding a role : nextcord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions What Permission needs the bot? It has admin permisssion (Test Bot)

[scarlet tiger]

The bot role has to be above the role you want to add, did you check that?

[open cobalt]

ohh, yes you are right. It was under the role I wanted to add thanks

[stark ingot]

You can solve some of the data integrity issues by having triggers that validate that your data is of the correct types.

[tired pine]

ManageRoles

Quite obvious, it's one of the checkboxes in the dev portal

If it has admin that's not gonna happen

Unless you've done something wrong

[stark ingot]

Or maybe...
There is a way to get that error when the bot has admin. And the solution was described in the message directly below the question. The check boxes on the dev portal are just the default permissions the bot will have upon invitation, they can be changed and overridden in channels.

[ionic cave]

Chat 😮

Soooo good.

[open cobalt]

Please read the comment from nightmare77. This was the solution. I have also checked this on the discord website.

[slate swan]

Not the server for that, go to Fiverr or Upwork

[lethal hemlock]

I can do this

[west escarp]

This is a server for learning how to do it yourself, not hiring people. We can't and won't put forth the honestly ridiculous amount of effort required to evaluate job postings and follow the applicable laws for doing so

[young dagger]

Any way to improve this?

# Check for Non-English characters
        elif re.search(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]*$', message.content, re.IGNORECASE):
            modlog_message = "Non-English characters"

[fast osprey]

do it in automod?

[wanton current]

Doesn't .isascii() do the same

or do you only want actual letters

[young dagger]

Oh you mean like message.content.isascii():

[wanton current]

yeah

[young dagger]

I want to allow English Letters (a-z, A-Z), Numbers (0-9) and Special Characters

[wanton current]

Then your regex approach is probably better

[young dagger]

Is the regex good? py re.search(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]*$', message.content, re.IGNORECASE):

[mint pecan]

is automically creating commands good?

[blissful crane]

as in?

[mint pecan]

wdym

[blissful crane]

like wym by creating commands automatically

[mint pecan]

im trying to automically create a command for each of my config flags yk so that i can change it on the runtime without having to write the same command that almost do the samething

[fast osprey]

Why would you want separate commands instead of just one command with a parameter? That sounds like api sprawl

[mint pecan]

some of them have different structure as i said before thats why, also seperating them make it feels way more organized

[fast osprey]

Making the surface area of your api explode to effectively do N versions of the same thing isn't organized

[mint pecan]

yes thats why i wanted to automate it so

[fast osprey]

I'm talking about organization for your end users, not you

You should not be expanding the surface area of your application to do the same thing N times with one very minor thing changing

[mint pecan]

well if i shove it all into one command how would i add stuff like description, custom parameters to each of the config flags then?

[fast osprey]

It doesn't have to be one, but you should make a meaningful decision about your api. Not generate it

[sacred grotto]

trying to use forms with discord bots, anybody have experience with it? need a form to popup when a button is clicked that the user can fill out. using nextcord api rn

kinda like this

[slate swan]

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/tree/master/examples/modals

[sacred grotto]

thank ya

[remote hound]

how i get custom emojis in here?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

@discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button) being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL or an SKU cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button) manually instead. This is because these buttons cannot have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with them.

[slate swan]

emoji kwarg

[raven swan]

can someone familiar with nextcord help me?

[slate swan]

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.

[raven swan]

i tried to add autocompletion to my application command(slash command) but it gives an error

code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4LVQ

traceback https://paste.pythondiscord.com/FZPQ

[slate swan]

this is all the code?

[raven swan]

yup

[slate swan]

and where is autocompleter used

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/blob/master/examples/application_commands/autocompleted_command.py

this is an example of autocomplete in nextcord, have a look

[raven swan]

thank you so much

this is what i needed

the docs didnt offer this

[open cobalt]

hey guys been experimenting with the discord api, added a kick command to my bot: ```py
def kick_user(self):
if self.events["t"] == "MESSAGE_CREATE":
content = str(self.events["d"]["content"]).split(" ")
if content[0].startswith("!kick"):
if len(content) == 2:
self.discord_api.kick_user(content[1])
else:
print("Command use !kick user_id")

[fast osprey]

There already exists native features to kick people. Having a bot do it only serves to reduce auditability and security

[open cobalt]

this also checks if someone has a specific perm to kick user from the discord api side

"Remove a member from a guild. Requires KICK_MEMBERS permission. Returns a 204 empty response on success"

can someone explain how to add an async aspect to it? Which libraries should I use so that the code be more efficient ?

[slate swan]

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

[open cobalt]

holy moly, I know Krypton chill bruv

[slate swan]

then why ask if you know?

[open cobalt]

for god s... please read my comment

[slate swan]

You're asking how to add async aspect to something and make it more efficient

Using the raw api like you do it not efficient at all and should use existing wrappers

If you make your own you should have an advanceed knowledge of the language

Knowledge that makes you know that async is built-in in python with asyncio

So maybe, ask your questions clearly and rethink about randomly insulting

[open cobalt]

First I dont insult you, second I wrote "experimenting" and third, I know async is built in, and last one I dont make any wrappers!

[slate swan]

Then you have the answer your question already, what's the point in asking things you already know

can someone explain how to add an async aspect to it?
You apparently know asyncio, so question answered
Which libraries should I use so that the code be more efficient ?
asyncio, you already know

[open cobalt]

I asked the question because I use a primitive websocket library that doesnt have async to it, and I use requests library which also doesnt have async to it.

[slate swan]

No point in a websocket connection async, you only have a single one that runs in background

aiohttp for non blocking http requests and websocket sessions

[open cobalt]

so aiohttp is for http requests and websocket connections?

[slate swan]

read the docs, that's what it says -> https://docs.aiohttp.org

[open cobalt]

ok I am going to read through it

[fast osprey]

That doesn't matter. You are a) not adding anything and b) removing security (2FA checks)

[raven swan]

nextcords docs are ass

[mint pecan]

how does discord.py run slash commands

[slate swan]

How it works in the background?

[mint pecan]

yes

maybe through tree._call?

[slate swan]

• you register a function to run, your command, with its respective name
• discord.py is connected to the gateway and receives events
• once it receives an INTERACTION_CREATE event it will get the commands you've created and run the command based on the name received in the event

now how they're internally called, as in what method is called/executed, would need to read the source

[mint pecan]

yes where does it run the command

[slate swan]

1. https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/state.py#L788-L789
2. https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/app_commands/tree.py#L1148-L1155
3. https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/app_commands/tree.py#L1271

[open cobalt]

yes sir we getting there 😜 ```py
def on_member_join(self):
if self.events["t"] == "GUILD_MEMBER_ADD":
user_id = self.events["d"]["user"]["id"]
role_id_member = xxxxxxxxxx
self.discord_api.add_role_user(user_id=user_id, role_id=role_id_member)

works too now we can add a welcome message in the welcome chat hihi

[slate swan]

funny how your methods never have the required arguments to actually do what you want to do

[open cobalt]

what yall think of that ? ```py
if self.events["t"] == "GUILD_MEMBER_ADD":
user_id = self.events["d"]["user"]["id"]
role_id_member = xxxxxxx
self.discord_api.add_role_user(user_id=user_id, role_id=role_id_member)
self.discord_api.create_message(channel_id=xxxxxxx, payload={"content":f"Welcome {self.events["d"]["user"]["username"]} to the the server. Have fun and enjoy the trip!"})

[slate swan]

In need of lots of abstraction

And checking for if self.events["t"] == "GUILD_MEMBER_ADD": at the beginning of a on_member_join function is kinda weird

Should check for the events, parse the data and send that over to the function as argument

[open cobalt]

I have just worked a little bit with the discord api so I am kinda exploring and let me have fun but thanks for your inputs

[slate swan]

Man if you're getting that defensive and pissed when you're the one asking for feedback, just don't ask already

[sacred grotto]

anyone have experience with selfbot development?

[slate swan]

!rule tos

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[slate swan]

Selfbots are against discord tos and will get yourself banned

[sacred grotto]

its completely for a non-malicious purpose

[velvet compass]

Doesn't matter

[slate swan]

Doesn't matter, selfbots are against tos regardless of what you do

[open cobalt]

I am not pissed but you can tell me what you mean by parse data send it as an argument etc with examples not just with theory but ok, so i can implement it

[sacred grotto]

alr thanks ig

[open cobalt]

that is your perspective and your reality, but for me I am not pissed, I have the will to learn and explore new things

[sacred grotto]

this dudes been typing for 5 mins holy hell

[open cobalt]

wow, and so. Teaching needs his time and finding the right words!

[slate swan]

Then ask.

Parse data as in you get the data in the d field based on the event, the fields are listed in the docs.

E.g. the guild member add event returns a member object, which will always have the same fields.

So you can parse that JSON data into a custom member class you'll create. Then you can pass that along to your method.

if self.events["t"] == "GUILD_MEMBER_ADD":
    # parse the content of "d"
    member: Member = ...
    # use that parsed data for your method
    self.on_member_join(member)

Then you can use the class directly in your function, e.g.

def on_member_join(member: Member):
  print(f"Member {member.user.username} joined")

[open cobalt]

Thanks Krypton! I will have a look after a break and try to implement it. When I have further questions, I will post them here

[slate swan]

Then not sure how your internals work, but self.discord_api.create_message is maybe the wrong naming, something like self.http.create_message is better

And for self.discord_api.add_role_user(user_id=user_id, role_id=role_id_member), adding a role requires the guild id, not sure where you get that one from. Same for self.discord_api.kick_user(content[1])

You can't add a role based on its id to a user based on its id, you need the guild id.
You can't kick a user just based on its user id, you need the guild id.

[open cobalt]

the testbot is only for my test server so the guild id is stored no worries

[slate swan]

Endpoints are PUT /guilds/{guild.id}/members/{user.id}/roles/{role.id} and DELETE /guilds/{guild.id}/members/{user.id}

Right then it makes sense, just make sure the bot is not in other servers if you don't read the guild id from the events you receive

[open cobalt]

I am not sure with http since it is a module and I dont know if I get an error but I try it

[slate swan]

Then go for _http

[toxic notch]

Can i ask for codes? the code that im looking for is a way to put the output in a channel like a Bot logs

[sacred grotto]

# Modal form input
class FormModal(nextcord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self):
        # Create a text input field for the modal
        super().__init__(title="Purchase Form")
        self.add_item(nextcord.ui.InputText(label="What are you buying?", placeholder="Units, Items, Gems", required=True))

    async def callback(self, interaction: nextcord.Interaction):
        # Capture the user input from the modal
        user_input = self.children[0].value
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"User is buying: {user_input}", ephemeral=True)

tried to make forms like Tickets bot has, completely lost to what im doing as I've never worked for nextcord API before, please help!

heres the goal form

are you sure you want to install dotenv instead of python-dotenv?

[toxic notch]

oh, then can you give a source for learning python?

[toxic notch]

Thx

Im having a hard time doing self learning

cuz everything on YouTube is for windows or smth like a computer or laptop

[civic fractal]

it is absolutely worth the investment to purchase a computer if you want to learn programming

you can probably get one for <$100

[toxic notch]

in my country 1USD is 60 of our currency

:(

[civic fractal]

okay then 6,000 of your currency

[toxic notch]

Theres no results :(

[fast osprey]

Your first step is going to be stop using YouTube for educational content

[toxic notch]

Im still 14 yrs Plus im jobless and has school:(

Like yt is the only place that i can learn

rn

[fast osprey]

It's not

[toxic notch]

Where else can I learn python?

[fast osprey]

^

[feral holly]

try edx

[fast osprey]

youtube content, especially in this sphere, is produced by people in their basement who want internet points. It is not quality controlled, it is not updated. It's one dude making shit up 99% of the time

[feral holly]

maybe

but not all of them

[fast osprey]

And beginners are not going to be able to tell the difference

[feral holly]

yeah man sometimes

[open cobalt]

hey guys, just updating you. I have made a small approach and implemented a user object into my bot, so we can extract the username and id

[open cobalt]

what casn I improve ```py
if events["t"] == "GUILD_MEMBER_ADD":
user_obj = User(events)
self.client.on_user_join(user_obj)

[blissful crane]

the naming. members are members and users are users. Idk what you call users if you're calling members users but it's best to stick to the originally provided name to avoid confusion

[open cobalt]

yeah thats what I thought and changed it no worries

[blissful crane]

nice

[leaden olive]

did anything changed with the .url attribute?

[fast osprey]

None has never had a .url

[wheat sable]

Thx!

wait now i have this

[small gale]

hello! got a question about something, using discord.py, not sure if their was a new update that came through or something because lines 7 and 9 are not working anymore so I was wondering how I can get it fixed

line number 9 is where i got the major problem from the looks

[timber dragon]

That's a syntax error

You can't leave functions empty like that in python

And what are those imports doing in teardown

[small gale]

idk why it is coming up in teardown

and i am not sure how to fix it me and my friend do this together and he is the smarter one and isn't responding to my dm's...

[timber dragon]

You might wanna refresh your python knowledge

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

[small gale]

yea i am confused tbh

[timber dragon]

# invalid:
def my_func():

# valid:
# Invalid if the above function isn't removed or given content
def my_func():
    ... # placeholder

[small gale]

let me see if i can find the file my friend sent me

[open cobalt]

you define a func in python like that: ```py
def func(param):
..........instructions

def means define

[small gale]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/DAHQ that is what my friend sent me (and the bot deleted it and needed me to put it into that link)

if it doesn't work let me know

[open cobalt]

what means that parrot reaction?!

[small gale]

idk tbh

i never put it

[timber dragon]

Repeating what has been said already

[open cobalt]

bruv chill holy

[timber dragon]

I'm chil? Lol

[open cobalt]

when you get so pissed from that then I am sry but I wanted to help

[timber dragon]

Lol that's definitely from some tutorials or chatgpt
Idt your friend knows what they're doing either

Consider following the official examples and working from there: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples
Like see basic_bot.py

[small gale]

yea we're both new to this

sooo that kinda doesn't help

[open cobalt]

or just connect to the websocket and make http requests

[timber dragon]

Chatgpt isn't going to help with anything. Consider learning python and starting with something basic like a rps game

[small gale]

yea i got no idea if he used chatgpt or what, or maybe he used a yt toturial

idk tbh

[open cobalt]

chatgpt is not always good. It makes mistakes too like a human does.

[small gale]

yea ima go ask him idk wtf is going on anymore tbh

[open cobalt]

what project are you guys aiming for?

[small gale]

multiple propose bot for fun but i might use it to become a real dev

[open cobalt]

nice

[small gale]

yea i got 2 projects going one that is javascript and the discord.py one

[open cobalt]

yeah sounds cool

[small gale]

doing 2 code langagues is hard but i need to figure out which one i am going to use mainly

[open cobalt]

so you are familiar with javascript?

[small gale]

nope

1st time coding tbh, use to use botghost but that got old real fast

[open cobalt]

ok, dont know about that

[small gale]

don't use botghost it is bad

like short cuting developing

[open cobalt]

ok googled it, it is a botmaker

[small gale]

yea and they call it "the best" but they got major issues

like rn with shards going offline

had all my bots go offline like all day because of it

[wheat sable]

bro just used botghost to get his active dev badge...

[small gale]

yea and it was the easiest thing to use according to my friend

which

on 2nd though is harder

[wheat sable]

work for it 😭

[small gale]

nah if i do i get over worked

[wheat sable]

thats the point

[slate swan]

Chat gbt better lol

[small gale]

Huh

[vapid parcel]

@hushed galleon, I was wondering if I could talk to you in dms? I have something to ask you. But no channel would fit here, its something personal to you.

[leaden olive]

where can i find that part of the error in the code

[dense falcon]

How can I reset the cooldown of a command from another task/function, as well as reset it for all users? I have a daily "checkin" system set up that I want to reset at midnight utc for all users

[open cobalt]

guys, I need some advice. I struggle a lot with the member object and dont know how to start , so far I have this but I dont know if that is kinda messy to do: ```py
class Member:

def __init__(self, event):
    self.member = event["d"]["user"]

@property
def username(self):
    return self.member["username"]

@property
def id(self):
    return self.member["id"]

[wanton current]

are you making your own api wrapper

[open cobalt]

no, I am just experimenting with it. The websocket connection is good. Receiving events, but how to flow the data is the struggle point

[strange prairie]

does anyone know how to check if the bot has permissions to timeout a member?

[sick birch]

Hey guys,

How do i install the audioop module?

[patent hull]

If on python 3.12 or lower, then it is builtin, if you are on python 3.13 or higher install the audioop-lts package

[sick birch]

thanks anon, i just downgraded

[stark ingot]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.app_permissions
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.Permissions.moderate_members

[strange prairie]

okay thx :)

[ionic pilot]

where is discord.py stored and where do i find it in a docker enviroment

[wanton current]

it is stored where all of your other pip packages are stored

[ionic pilot]

yeah i don't really know where that is

[wanton current]

if you're not using a venv, you can check by doing:

import sys
print(sys.path)

and then it's in the site-packages for the python version you're using

[ionic pilot]

yeah i know

but there is no site packages

there is no python3.13

the folders dont exist

[slate swan]

/usr/local/lib/python3.13

And 3.13 isn't supported by python api wrappers, just hikari iirc, either way

[open cobalt]

hey krypton

[stark ingot]

So far the solution is to just install audioop-lts have you come across more incompatibilities with 3.13?
I think command flags broke as well, but tbh most people should be using slash commands anyways.

[slate swan]

there has been other issues

[open cobalt]

y'all would approve ? ```py
def on_member_leave(self, member: Member):
self.http.create_message(channel_id=xxxxxx,
payload={
"content": f"User {member.username} has left us. Till next time buddy ):"})

[slate swan]

Looking good, payload could be updated a bit though

Build the payload in the create_message function. Make the rest normal arguments of the function, e.g.

self.http.create_message("Hello world", channel_id=...)

[open cobalt]

mhh ok, yeah, you right, just write a string not a dict, ok gotchu

self.http.create_message(xxxx,  f"Member {member.username} has left us. Till next time buddy :(")

it works sounds great

[slate swan]

[toxic notch]

Uhh Theres an error on line 215, but my code only consists of 89 lines

Wth

Go to GitHub

[stark ingot]

It is probably line 215 in a different file within your discord library. If you post the traceback we can probably help

[toxic notch]

the traceback is long, is that ok?

[slate swan]

Does discord py support user-install?

[toxic notch]

im kinda new and still learning python

also whats user-install?

[slate swan]

Global commands, for instance they can use it in discord DMs not just servers

its a app not a bot

User-Install-Application

[toxic notch]

yes i use it for Warn command

[slate swan]

No, not sending in DMs active in DMs

[toxic notch]

dm command just trolling friends tho

or warning them

[slate swan]

No you can use it for other things globally

No not the bot sending them a message

[toxic notch]

nope

[slate swan]

never mind bro im going to google

yep

[toxic notch]

bruh

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/tutorials/developing-a-user-installable-app

[toxic notch]

damn thx

[stark ingot]

Yes

[stark ingot]

If it is super long you can put it in !paste

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[slate swan]

Can you send a example

[stark ingot]

I dont know discord.py I just know that they support it. You could join there support server and ask or what for someone else.

[toxic notch]

so i just !paste <code> ???

[stark ingot]

No you paste your code on the website, click save, then copy the link here

[toxic notch]

oh ok

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JKFQ
@stark ingot

Whats wrong?

[stark ingot]

The error says what is wrong, the Member object has no attribute user
Did you mean their username, their mention, their id?

[toxic notch]

i mean i used this {member.user}

not {member.mention}

[stark ingot]

Yeah, but what is your goal with {member.user}? A member is a user so all the information you need is already in the member object.

[toxic notch]

Command-Logs a Channel/event that Sends the User that Uses A type of command and who uses it

[stark ingot]

So it sounds like you probably want to use the mention parameter instead. {member.mention} just use this like you said above

[toxic notch]

oh ok

[toxic notch]

Bruh i just rechecked the code I am just missing an f string:/

I wasted So much time

Thx for the help anyway

[mint pecan]

why is my mention having two @s?

[wanton current]

Because the role is called @ everyone, not just everyone

[ionic pilot]

There is no folder named that

[toxic notch]

Who has a link for documentation or crash course for a Discord bot

Please i really need it and want it

[open cobalt]

just make http requests

[toxic notch]

http?

[open cobalt]

joking

[open cobalt]

you can read the docs

it is on the developer portal

[toxic notch]

channel desc?

ok

[open cobalt]

or youtube yeah

but i dont know abou that

you think youtube would help you @toxic notch

[toxic notch]

Theres no helpful info for A discord bot it only shows "How to make a Discord bot without coding" Type of shit

[open cobalt]

You have experience with python?

[lofty pecan]

I need some help with Modal. I can't seem to find examples using cogs, it's always a single file execution and not a cog added to the bot. I want to make form basically, and I found it randomly, if anyone has some ressource to share :)

[sweet brook]

H

I'm a python beginner

[lofty pecan]

https://github.com/AlexFlipnote/discord_bot.py This is pretty helpful

[toxic notch]

Idk how to use github

i admit that im new

[lofty pecan]

You can just download the repo

[lofty pecan]

I also was new to it you just gotta learn how it works

[toxic notch]

im on mobile

[lofty pecan]

You don't code on a PC?

[toxic notch]

Nah Id suffer coding in mobile

4GB of Ram

32 GB of Memory

Mediatek cpu

[lofty pecan]

For python that's enough

You're not gonna build 3d engine it's fine

[mint pecan]

how can i make an alt detection for my bot?

[tawny junco]

I used to code on mobile only the other day

And I learned Python on my phone

Also made a discord bot

[dense falcon]

how can I reset the cooldown of a command for all users?

[timber dragon]

Reload the cog/bot

[dense falcon]

is there a more "efficient" way? not complaining about the answer, thanks for it, but i want to know if there's a better way that doesnt involve restarting an entire section of the bot

[wanton current]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=cooldown reset#discord.ext.commands.Command.reset_cooldown

[open cobalt]

hey yall

what is that for a reaction?

he gave you a link to the docs

why question mark?

@dense falcon

[dense falcon]

linking the docs without saying a thing isnt exactly helping (especially when ive already read them over like 10 times 😭)

[wanton current]

cmd = bot.get_command("cmd")
cmd.cooldown.reset_cooldown()

[dense falcon]

wait does running it without context reset for everyone?

[open cobalt]

willi is prodigy in python and discord.py so he is right

[dense falcon]

hollup just a moment

[wanton current]

oh

yeah you may need a context

[dense falcon]

😭 ill just reset the cog

thanks anyway

[wanton current]

try this: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Cooldown.reset

# so just
command.cooldown.reset()

the other one was linked to a specific command, not the cooldown itself

[mint pecan]

how can i check if a interaction response is already deferred?

[shrewd apex]

So I am making a battle bot that has an inventory system linked to google sheets. However when I run the battle command, it raises an "'int' object is not callable error." I don't know what that means. Here is the code.

# player1 has heavier attack
if player1.attack == 'Melee' and player2.attack == 'Magic':
  player1.inv[0].damage(player2)
  await ctx.send(f'{player1.id}\'s {player1.inv[0].name} overruled {player2.id}\'s {player2.inv[2].name}. {player2.id}\'s health: {player2.hp}')
elif player1.attack == 'Ranged' and player2.attack == 'Melee': 
   player1.inv[1].damage(player2)
   await ctx.send(f'{player1.id}\'s {player1.inv[1].name} overruled {player2.id}\'s {player2.inv[0].name}. {player2.id}\'s health: {player2.hp}')
elif player1.attack == 'Magic' and player2.attack == 'Ranged':
  player1.inv[2].damage(player2)
  await ctx.send(f'{player1.id}\'s {player1.inv[2].name} overruled {player2.id}\'s {player2.inv[1].name}. {player2.id}\'s health: {player2.hp}')
        
# player2 has heavier attack

await ctx.send(f'{player2.id}\'s {player2.inv[2].name} overruled {player1.id}\'s {player1.inv[1].name}. {player1.id}\'s health: {player1.hp}')

Ik spaghetti code

I am a bit of a noob

[blissful crane]

you really need to be careful, this looks like it'll get out of hand really quickly and will be daunting to edit in the future

either way, please send the traceback

[fervent harness]

Okay thanks for the advice, sending traceback...

[blissful crane]

the error is probably because player.inv[...].damage is the name of a variable, make sure your variables and methods don't share the same name

(without a traceback I can't be sure)

[blissful crane]

I was right

[fervent harness]

Omg yeah thank you so much

I'll be more careful next time

[blissful crane]

gl on your bot

[toxic notch]

I found what im trying to find sry for wasting ur time

[hot holly]

Getting a KeyError: 0 when trying to get the support server invite. The YML file is to store all the configuration data needed.

[blissful crane]

print important_data, it's a dict not a list

[kindred gorge]

pls use match case

[sleek meteor]

Is there a variable for a users custom status value? Im trying to make my bot send a message in a channel when a user puts a certain phrase in their custom status, it sends the message, but it also resends it when the user goes online an offline

Custom status:

[hot holly]

how would print help?

[blissful crane]

it would help you see what important_data actually refers to and then you'd figure out how to get the data you want

[hot holly]

ah kk

[viscid sage]

This is my firt real attempt at making a discord bot and im so happy with the results i just have to share it
what this custom roster does is, it tracks the roles in the server and updates the roster when someone new is added to a role
it also allows you to click on the name of a user in the list and it will redirect you to their user profile
i blocked out any association to the server its from just so that im not promoting it

[stark ingot]

Nice!!
2 things:

1. I think you should exclude the - from the masked link so it is not blue
2. Keep in mind message, description, and field size limits. If you get to many peoples with roles you might have to split this up into multiple messages/embeds

[viscid sage]

yeye you can already see me struggling with the embed fields, i made it work like columns to just extend into the fields below it aka 2 would extend to 5

[stark ingot]

Oh yeah. Dont mean to burst your bubble but that may not show how you want it on smaller screens like on a phone

[viscid sage]

oh yeah i already know
my plan is to add a button on the bottom of the roster to transition it from pc version to mobile

[stark ingot]

Smart, that is a cool idea/workaround. Keep up the good work!

[viscid sage]

thank you very much

[mint pecan]

how do i make my bot set a permission to this middle slash

[blissful crane]

when editing the overwrite, instead of True/False make it None

[mint pecan]

oh thanks

[slate swan]

Hello everyone I wanna know if it’s possible to create a bot that auto exchange money, like from PayPal to crypto (ltc/btc…) ty for ur answers, the exchange will also take fees while going the transactions like the person send 10€ PayPal and want ltc , she will receive 10€ -6% fees

[sand imp]

First question you have to ask is, how do i magically convert 1 currency into a different one. Then you'll find out you cannot do this yourself, especially in bulk...

So first you need to find a service that converts for you, and look for an api. Which nowadays doesn't really exist anymore i think, due to KYC (Know Your Customer).

[dense falcon]

i have a task loop set up to restart the cog daily, however it seems to miss the timing it needs. It should be executing at 6am UTC. here's the relevant code - I know the function works since I've ran it from a command.

from datetime import datetime, timezone, time

resettime = time(hour=6, minute=0, second=0)

@tasks.loop(time=resettime)
async def reset_daily(self):
    cog = Profiles(self.bot)
    await self.bot.remove_cog("Profiles")
    await self.bot.add_cog(cog)
    print("Successfully reset Daily Streetpass and Checkin")

[sand imp]

Without looking at the docs, i would assume the way you have it setup now is that it just runs it every 6 hours

There is no mention of a timezone anywhere so if thats not the case, i would assume it is maybe defaulting to a different timezone?

[dense falcon]

it should be defaulting to utc according to docs, and using time in tasks.loop says it should be executing that time of day

i will check again though

[sand imp]

Yeah i just found this example in the docs:

import datetime
from discord.ext import commands, tasks

utc = datetime.timezone.utc

# If no tzinfo is given then UTC is assumed.
time = datetime.time(hour=8, minute=30, tzinfo=utc)

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.my_task.start()

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

    @tasks.loop(time=time)
    async def my_task(self):
        print("My task is running!")```

[dense falcon]

my baaaad i didnt know you had to start a task

ive never seen examples in docs tho, where did you find it?

[sand imp]

f i closed it, lemme find it again

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/v2.4.0/ext/tasks/

[dense falcon]

ahh ty

somehow my whole bot refuses to do anything except print to output now so i have some debugging to do before i implement this 😭

[slate swan]

Nope I’m not taking about converting a cryptocurrency into a cryptocurrency but a PayPal amount into a crypto currency Wich I will put the stock

For expl :

I have 1500$ in my PayPal account and I will put 1000$ in the Ltc balance of the bot then if someone want to exchange 100$ for expl he send money in the PayPal account and then he paste his ltc addy after that he receive the money in Ltc with fees 6% for expl

Hello Fadi, your on a python discord server. I mean you can learn english by praticing to write here in english and ask your python related questions here. If you want to learn english, you can use software like Babbel or go to an english school in your area.

hi guys i want to make a discord bot for cod 1 servers status

but i dont know that much

so if someone is really know that much python

that he can help mee

so plz

no one active

ahhh

[slate swan]

why illegal ? Exchanging pp to crypto was never illegal

[sand imp]

You are essentially operating as an exchange, And exhcnages for one need to be licensed and registered. Secondly they need to adhere to AML and KYC laws...

All depends on your country but i'd be carefull with what you are doing.

Also pay attention to taxes and stuff

[rugged shadow]

apart from the above

this also violates paypal's terms of service

[sand imp]

Which is the least of your concerns at this point but yeah haha

[rugged shadow]

woah thanks

[stark ingot]

To be honest, it seem like you do not have a strong understanding of python and/or discord bots.
Aside from the other legal and TOS concerns you should not be handling money unless you know 100% what you are doing. One wrong line of code and a malicious actor could steal all the money from the accounts

You can keep the decimal if you want, just when you're printing it, i think its math.floor(value)

Itll just look nicer

[unique lichen]

how to make a reminder command or a command which pings me daily perodically

[edgy grove]

thats a very vague question

[unique lichen]

Basically just what i need to learn/do
To make that kind of stuff

[sand imp]

Look into discord.py's documentation.

They also have examples that should gte you half way there regarding tasks:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/v2.4.0/ext/tasks/

[unique lichen]

Thank you so much

[hoary maple]

Hi All, I am working on a project where I have to access servicenow API using the login credentials , extract the data from Api and load to a Postgres DB. Could you please provide me any available references/resources and thoughts for this project. Thank you

[stark ingot]

This is the discord bots channel, you would have better luck asking somewhere more relevant such as making your own help post #❓｜how-to-get-help

[spiral crypt]

For a guild role using an id it would be this yeah?

specific_role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=1158834836161691810)

[wanton current]

Yeah, or just guild.get_role(1158834836161691810) if you're going to be using an id anyway.

[spiral crypt]

Okidoki

[glass ocean]

You could use some APIs for the rank

Also round to 2 decimal places only

Or round the number to be a whole number

[shell adder]

i might just make it no deimals

[glass ocean]

Yea round up

These are the api’s iib3xu has

@zenith cipher

[glass ocean]

@shell adder dm him for it

It’s unlimited usage and free

[dry kelp]

Quick question
What would be the best way to perform threshold cleanup?
Let's say a user sets a certain amount of actions in a period of 30 seconds (example)
That would mean after 30 seconds i would need to run a task, is there any other way for a better efficiency?
considering tasks can increase memory usage by a lot?

[obsidian pine]

How do i get a category by name?

[hasty pike]

You don't really need api for this

[toxic notch]

Can i request for an Discord Index like every code for A discord bot? (ex. At bot.command or bot.event)

[slate swan]

This is not a code sharing platform

We help you with issues with your code

[toxic notch]

Bruh i thought i can get useful documentaries here

I believe you're looking for National Geographic

How do i cluster my bot?

[lofty pecan]

Error in class won't propagate to command to stop execution

I have a command to send Modals back to back from a single View object:

# Create an instance of the DropdownMenu view for the oc names
                template_selector = MyView(labels=template_names, values=template_names, bot=self.bot)
                await ctx.send(content='**Select the template to use**', view=template_selector)
                await template_selector.wait()  # continues after stop() or timeout```

I use button to confirm entries after the modal is filled to send the next one. But for some reason the code keeps being executed after the `await template_selector.wait()  # continues after stop() or timeout` even if an error is detected in the last modal. 

```python
            try:
                # Create an instance of the DropdownMenu view for the oc names
                template_selector = MyView(labels=template_names, values=template_names, bot=self.bot)
                await ctx.send(content='**Select the template to use**', view=template_selector)
                await template_selector.wait()  # continues after stop() or timeout
                print(template_selector.value)
                # COMMAND STOPS HERE IF THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE MODAL INPUTS

                # Create instance of the ColorPicker DropdownMenu view
                view = ColorPicker(bot=self.bot)
                await ctx.send(view=view)
                await view.wait()

                colour = view.colour
                await ctx.send(f'You have picked {colour} for your OC!')

                # Prepare the picture to be stored in the database
                oc_picture = await picture.read()

            except Exception as e:
                # Handle any exception, prevent further execution
                await ctx.send(f"Command stopped due to error: {e}")
                return  # Stop further execution if there's an error

One of the modal (the last one has the following function):

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: Interaction):
        # Collect and store user input for each field
        for item in self.children:
            self.user_inputs[item.label] = item.value

        # Process the input for Ability Scores and Modifiers
        try:
            ability_scores = self.user_inputs.get("Ability Scores")
            ability_modifiers = self.user_inputs.get("Ability Modifiers")

            scores = list(map(int, ability_scores.split(',')))
            modifiers = list(map(int, ability_modifiers.split(',')))

            # Process the valid data
            ability_data = {
                "strength": scores[0], "dexterity": scores[1], "constitution": scores[2],
                "intelligence": scores[3], "wisdom": scores[4], "charisma": scores[5],
                "str_mod": modifiers[0], "dex_mod": modifiers[1], "con_mod": modifiers[2],
                "int_mod": modifiers[3], "wis_mod": modifiers[4], "cha_mod": modifiers[5],
            }

            await interaction.response.send_message(f'Characters information successfully saved!\n{ability_data}',
                                                    ephemeral=True)
            self.stop()  # Stop the modal to allow the next modal to be sent

            return ability_data

        except ValueError as e:
            await interaction.response.send_message(
                f"Error: `{e}`\n**Please enter exactly 6 values for both scores and modifiers as shown in the placeholder.**",
                ephemeral=True
            )
            raise Exception("Invalid input in ability scores or modifiers.")  # Raise exception to stop command

The exception works just fine, but it doesn't propagate to the command and won't stop it

[lofty pecan]

How to i get list of users added into channel ovetwrites?

[ornate sapphire]

anyone know how to fix this?

@lyric needle

sry for ping but taco in rush

[fast osprey]

The error tells you in English where to go and how to fix it

[ornate sapphire]

:l

taco got it

who knew all that confusing shit its j plain as day fr

[tame bay]

I'm currently working on creating a simple Discord user bot in Python and need some help to get started. This is a new concept for me, and I'm not sure how to approach it. Specifically, I want to know:

• How to register commands for the bot.
• What functions are needed to make the bot work.
• The basic structure or workflow for building the bot.

If someone could share a short example code or point me toward useful resources, it would be a huge help! I've searched through various sites and servers but haven't found anything clear or specific yet.

Thank you in advance for your support! 😊

[scarlet tiger]

Have you already selected a library?

[tame bay]

not yet. i don't have any idea about that type of bot

[ornate sapphire]

making a bot and making an embed for an announcement. I want the bot to ping everyone outside of the embed. Whats the code for that

i cant find it anywhere

[scarlet tiger]

I recommend this one, you can follow the installation guide and it also has instructions for basic functions:
https://guide.pycord.dev/introduction

[scarlet tiger]

Everyone?

[tame bay]

i want to make a user bot. i have some idea to make a guild bot with prefix command and slash command. but i can't find a perfect documention for the user bot

[scarlet tiger]

Read the guide I sent you, it also contains the creation of commands

[ornate sapphire]

yeah

i got it tho. I just made it send a another one first

[stark ingot]

If you are using py-cord they have a user app example here: https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_users.py
It is pretty barebones, showing only what makes a command a user app instead of a guild app. The other examples on the github repo for app-commands still work the same way so you can reference them as well. The only difference is the contexts and integration_types

[smoky sinew]

content=“” embed = “”

[ornate sapphire]

Ty ty

[rose narwhal]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/QHAA
Can someone help me with this?

I am using the Pastebin library with discord.py

[stark ingot]

The pastebin library had its latest release 8 years ago. So it is probably intended for use with an older version of python. I would look to see if you can find any more up to date libraries to use

You may have to create your own api wrapper as it does not look like there are many options. Otherwise you could try to fix the current one

[teal delta]

Try hikari

[stark ingot]

I personally use py-cord. I generally do not recommend switching libraries as there is generally little benefit

[vocal plover]

using whatever you're already using is the best thing you can do unless you have a good reason to switch

[ornate sapphire]

trying to make bot reply to a ping of myself

I tried this but didnt work

anyone know what i gotta put in the parenthesis to make it reply to ping

I also tried <@&USERID>

[fast osprey]

Maybe logging that content will help you debug what's happening here

[ornate sapphire]

it logs fine

nothing comes up

[stark ingot]

They mean that for issues like this you can often solve them by printing what you are comparing. For example print the message content so that you can see what you are getting when you ping yourself

[coral cradle]

If your looking for a mention in the message rather than use message.content why dont you look at the message.mentions for your tag ?

[coral cradle]

after that you can do what you like with them

[obsidian pine]

How to make user install commands

[scarlet tiger]

It's different in every library

[obsidian pine]

import discord, os
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

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

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await bot.tree.sync()
    print("Bot is ready")
    
@app_commands.command(name="test")
@app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True)
@app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True)
async def my_command(interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message('I am installed in users by default!')

Why dpy has provided fields then?

[scarlet tiger]

I don't know exactly, I don't use discord.py

[obsidian pine]

What you use?

[scarlet tiger]

py-cord

[obsidian pine]

Can you share small example?

[obsidian pine]

Like this

I need urgent

[scarlet tiger]

But it's different from discord.py, if you use Discord.py it won't work

[obsidian pine]

I will migrate

I only need 2 command in bot i don't have to worry about other library

[scarlet tiger]

You can follow the example of the repository:
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples%2Fapp_commands%2Fslash_users.py

Remember to uninstall discord.py first

[obsidian pine]

Module discord has no attribute Bot

I don't have time for experiments

I'm even ready to switch to node if that works

[scarlet tiger]

Did you uninstall Discord.py?

[obsidian pine]

Obviously not

[scarlet tiger]

Are you using a virtual environment?

[obsidian pine]

Yes i use conda

[scarlet tiger]

Create another virtual environment and then install there

[obsidian pine]

Install what

[scarlet tiger]

py-cord?

[obsidian pine]

Okay and?

[scarlet tiger]

You can do it if it's easier for you.

[scarlet tiger]

And then follow the example I sent you.

[obsidian pine]

I just want what works

I don't care language or library

[scarlet tiger]

Do you know JS and Python?

[obsidian pine]

It says no module named discord

[obsidian pine]

I knew python but haven't practiced it in a year

[scarlet tiger]

Show me your pip list

[scarlet tiger]

If you don't know JS well you may have problems if you switch to node

[obsidian pine]

I cannot use this for some reason

I'm using replit it keeps installing discord py

@scarlet tiger you here?

[coral cradle]

i'm not sure what you mean... like there is cogs with that feature you could load and unload that your @app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True) might represent their use for a standard user, not something i have tried tho, but cogs do.

[obsidian pine]

I just want to use commands in dm

Slash commands

[coral cradle]

you can send dm's with the bot you can also use commands in the dm wiith the bot but i don't know of any way you can use it like a built-in in any DM. the lines you have as decorators can be set to allow the use of the command in different scopes like a list of guilds or users for example and if you just want it in a dl say false to the guild.

in the guild

in the DM

[obsidian pine]

Okay worked

But is it possible to remove that reply reference thing from user commands and show it as normal message?

[slate swan]

no

[stark ingot]

I thought follow-ups worked on user apps too? Just limited to 5

[slate swan]

you still gotta reply

[stark ingot]

Ah, yeah i forgot that had the little "reply" line above it too

[tired garnet]

Is it possible to

send stuff using webhook

then get stuff again from that webhook?

I hope that possible

because i could use discord for accounts then

else ill use mysql

[fast osprey]

You should not use discord as a database IMO if that's what you're asking

[wise wagon]

How can I do that on Visual Studio Code when I want to create a command for my bot, it will be in a new file and not everything in one, I know its c something but idk how to use it pls help DM me

[fast osprey]

What library are you using?

[ornate sapphire]

Wait so I just replace message.content with message.mention and it should do what it showed you?

[coral cradle]

yes and then you can get the data you want from each of the objects

[ornate sapphire]

Ok ok

[ornate sapphire]

i dont understand what im supposed to fix

[slate swan]

message.mention doesn't exist

[ornate sapphire]

das what he told me to do

[slate swan]

mention.add_reaction neither btw

[ornate sapphire]

hm

how do i make it reply when a certain someone is pinged

[slate swan]

message.mentions is not the same as message.mention

[ornate sapphire]

preferably on mentionc cuz idk commands yet

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.mentions

[ornate sapphire]

nothing happened when i pinged myself

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.mentions

A list of Member that were mentioned. If the message is in a private message then the list will be of User instead. For messages that are not of type MessageType.default, this array can be used to aid in system messages. For more information, see system_content.

Warning

The order of the mentions list is not in any particular order so you should not rely on it. This is a Discord limitation, not one with the library.

[slate swan]

It returns user objects, not strings

[ornate sapphire]

nothing showed up in console eitha

[slate swan]

Convert that list of user objects to a list of ID

There are other methods as well, but probably an easy one to do

[ornate sapphire]

i literally just started and still on youtube videos

so idk how to put that into a code

[slate swan]

your_id = 123456789
if your_id in [user.id for user in message.mentions]:
    print("Mentioned")

[ornate sapphire]

W

[slate swan]

Consider learning python before though, discord.py is not really for beginners it's more for advanced people

[ornate sapphire]

I already learnt how while back

so i know basics of python

I know the names of everything I just dont know how to put those together to make smth work

[slate swan]

Basics are not enough

[ornate sapphire]

where do i learn

[midnight oracle]

if "@Taco" in message.content:

[slate swan]

Won't work, not how mentions work

[ornate sapphire]

tried that

[slate swan]

Lots of websites (e.g. codecademy) or books

Roughly the required knowledge before making a bot

Prerequisites

Some prerequisites for writing a Discord bot in Python.

Required:

• Primitive data types
• Operators
• Control flow
• Function definitions
• String formatting
• Variables, namespace and scope
• Importing
• Classes, objects, attributes and methods
• OOP
• Data structures
• Exception handling
• Console usage, interpreters and environments
• Decorators

Useful to know:

• Databases
• asyncio basics
• What is "blocking?"
• Logging
• Reading documentation properly

[coral cradle]

as said it's an object and you need to "extract" the values you need from it.. i would try a dir on it to find out what it has or read the docs for that item....

[ornate sapphire]

I made a discord announcement without knowing shit

[ornate sapphire]

:D

[midnight oracle]

Mentions is not the property you want to use

[ornate sapphire]

 channelId=["1126839090587897866", "1126839177976221786", "1126839219738923070", "1117543378872193074", "1117543448698953859", "1117543493724807250", "1117543598494318693", "1120701899939794974", "1120702042801975438", "1124856806976524328", "1123761521512693760", "1123750319508160573", "1123750583183089684", "1125084175163207750", "1125084175163207750", "1125085306215997572", "1125085976386089020", "1125085976386089020", "1124270543437303859", "1117472177298608199", "1129367300609429534"]  
    if str(message.channel.id) in channelId and "@everyone" in message.content:
        channel = client.get_channel(message.channel.id)
        channels = client.get_channel(1126244432719646801)
        embeds=discord.Embed(title="Your message has been deleted", description=f"**Reason:** \n Attempted everyone ping \n \n **Channel:** \n {message.channel.mention} \n \n **Remember to read** [#1117542377880555631](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/1117542377880555631/)", color=discord.Color.purple())
        embed=discord.Embed(title="This action is against server rules", description="Your message has been deleted", color=discord.Color.purple())
        await message.reply(content=f"{message.author.mention}", embed=embed, delete_after=15)
        await message.delete()
        await channels.send(content=f"{message.author.mention}", embed=embeds)```

this is the most complex thing ive done

[midnight oracle]

use message instead, and add the reaction to message

[slate swan]

Content is not any better, you're checking for the ID either way. So who cares

[midnight oracle]

Also, to check for a specific user when this one is tagged, you should use ID's

[slate swan]

You can just use automod for that :^)

[ornate sapphire]

ik but whats the fun in that

[slate swan]

Exactly what was done, thanks

[ornate sapphire]

auto mod cant do specific channels tho

[slate swan]

Channel IDs are int btw

No need to store them as string and then do str(message.channel.id)

Just do message.channel.id in channel_ids and store the IDs as normal int

[ornate sapphire]

that woulda been nice to know.... but if it works it works

i aint touching shit

[slate swan]

It's just unnecessary convertion

You could convert them three times in various other data types and it would still work, it's just pointless and unnecessary

[ornate sapphire]

how long do u think it would take to get the knowledge to make a good bot

without u guys help

[ornate sapphire]

balls

[slate swan]

!e

a = 1
b = 2

print(str(a) == str(b))

Pretty much what you're doing

[unkempt canyon]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

False

[slate swan]

yeah, was searching for such a screenshot

[slate swan]

Depends the time and effort people put in

[ornate sapphire]

hour a day

[slate swan]

Less than a few weeks are more than enough if you put in like 3-5 hours a day

[ornate sapphire]

yesss

[pearl bough]

heyy can we not use that kind of language here please thankss

[cold mica]

Not sure if you figured it out yet, but pings in messages are formatted like <@USERID>, so pinging you would be @ornate sapphire

(And channels are almost the same being <#ChannelID> )

[ornate sapphire]

I was talking about myself tho

[ornate sapphire]

Yeah I tried but still didn't respond to the ping

[pearl bough]

I know, but we just want to avoid it in general please

[cold mica]

this should be:

if '@ornate sapphire' in message.content:
  bla bla bla

[ornate sapphire]

Do you have to look at every channel like all the time???

There's a lot of channels... u need to get paid fr

[cold mica]

I feel like all mods for big servers should get paid lol

[ornate sapphire]

Alr lemme try that. Thanks

[ornate sapphire]

Fr tho. Who tf volunteers for that

[cold mica]

I mean it's understandable if it's a small server, but idk about big servers

[ornate sapphire]

Yeah small servers are fun to mod

Banning people goes hard

[pearl bough]

@unkempt canyon makes our life a lot easier

[cold mica]

fair

[ornate sapphire]

Ohhhh i djd get a dm

It notifies you too?

Send me the codes. I need a copy this

Fr fr

[pearl bough]

https://github.com/python-discord/bot/tree/main/bot%2Fexts%2Fmoderation

[cold mica]

idk why im surprised the python discord bot is written in python

also, is it on_ready or on_connect that you should avoid using

i remember one of them isnt great to use for triggering one time when the bot comes online

Anyways, look at my highly over complicated way of reading a token that i made just because i wanted it to be expandable
I made it like a year ago and never got around to making a better solution
(First image is the bot's main.py and the second image is readconfig.py)

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't use any event really for anything you want to happen once

[obsidian pine]

I'm trying to use app command and it works 3/10 times rest of the time it shows this Error

@fast osprey

[fast osprey]

happens when you take 3+ seconds to respond

[obsidian pine]

How do i fix?

[fast osprey]

make your code faster

[obsidian pine]

It's just a simple embed command

[fast osprey]

unless it's your network

[obsidian pine]

How can i make it faster

[fast osprey]

anything in your code can slow it down if it's blocking, not just that command

[obsidian pine]

Is there no other solution?

[obsidian pine]

It's a single command code literally 40 lines 😭

[fast osprey]

gotta respond within 3 seconds

it's either your code or your network

[obsidian pine]

I have it hosted

How do i handle this and make it work?

@client.tree.command()
async def confirmation(interaction: discord.Interaction, amount: float, user: discord.User) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message('I am installed in users by default!', ephemeral=True)

How can this be slow? Rest are only follow ups

The issue is definitely network and i cannot fix that on hosting so

[fast osprey]

^

how have you determined? What's your ping?

[obsidian pine]

I have no idea

[obsidian pine]

import discord, os, asyncio 
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)
        self.tree = app_commands.CommandTree(self)

    async def setup_hook(self):
        await self.tree.sync()

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

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


@client.tree.command()
@app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=True, dms=True, private_channels=True)
@app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=True, users=True)
async def confirmation(interaction: discord.Interaction, amount: float, user: discord.User) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message('I am installed in users by default!', ephemeral=True)
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Transaction Detected", color=0x5865F2)
    embed.add_field(name="Required Confirmations", value="`1`", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Amount Received", value=f"`${amount}`", inline=True)
    await interaction.followup.send(embed=embed)

client.run()

That's all

[fast osprey]

can you print/log out client.latency?

[obsidian pine]

Lemme do this

[obsidian pine]

Returned this

[fast osprey]

not network then

[obsidian pine]

I don't understand what is wrong

[fast osprey]

You could compare the interaction's creation time to the current time before you try to respond

[topaz vector]

What's the best way to reload a bot for all servers (cogs & slash commands & py-cord)

as of now i tried await bot.sync_commands() it doesnt work

[slate swan]

I have all 3 downloaded/imported in my code and it says i dont have them? why??

[merry cliff]

hey still having the issue?

[coral cradle]

did you sort your problem in the end ? you know if you want to listen with no command for your tag you can just use a listener that will just check every message but it you want it in a command you can do that also, i put above the listener with no command.
Did not notice you wanted a reaction add if it is seen maybe this is more what your after ?

You also dont have to explicitly check for the id's either if you dont want that huge list.....

 if user.name.lower() == "yak":
     await ctx.message.add_reaction("👻")

ah

Hey guys, is there a public bot on Discord which keeps an eye on Github repositories and posts updates in a server channel when something changes? I been trying to find one but all of the ones I could find are DIY bots. 🫤

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

Yes...?

idk if its bot or integration

but u can put webhook in github repo

that works only if its ur repo or u have admin on one

[stark ingot]

This should work, can you try adding the commands you changed to the commands kwarg, if that still does not work set the force kwarg to true with the commands that were changed.
Overall, I generally think the best solution is to just restart your bot and not deal with cog loading and unloading when using slash commands

[slate swan]

You might need to restart the discord client

I found that after adding/modifying commands that they wont show until i switch accounts back or restart discord

[stark ingot]

Oh yes, don't know why I did not mention that ^
Try this first
Note that you can use ctrl+r to reload

[slate swan]

Oh damn thats nice to know

[ornate sapphire]

It still won't answer tk a ping of myself

[coral cradle]

event-listener or command, which you using ??

[ornate sapphire]

None

[slate swan]

no

[coral cradle]

well what do you want to use ?

[ornate sapphire]

On message

[formal basin]

!paste

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

can anybody help me with this error

aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorCertificateError: Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)')]

[fluid flame]

I need help with a discord bot

how to fix it

[harsh orbit]

you need to install module 'settings'

pip install python-settings
I think

[timber dragon]

Most likely just trying to import a local file

What the actual fuck is this env wrapper

please help me with this problem in my code on_member_remove function is not executing or working.

[patent hull]

explain "not executing or working"

does it print the member removed?

[fast osprey]

Also show your intents

[dapper token]

no

[dapper token]

ok

[patent hull]

And in the developer portal?

[dapper token]

yea they enabled

[patent hull]

this is weird then

[dapper token]

this is my code

import discord

[patent hull]

do you run the client anywhere...?

[dapper token]

yea i cropped it out for obvious reasons

[slate swan]

What gets printed

[dapper token]

nvm

everything works except

this aint working

and if i change client to bot then the client events wont run

[fast osprey]

Clients don't have a tree

You have to make one yourself, or use ext.commands.Bot instead of Client

[dapper token]

can you show me how to add / commands in a bot because these are not really well documented and alot of videos are outdated

i have no idea where to go from here

[fast osprey]

Yeah you shouldn't be referring to videos at all IMO. It's just randos making stuff up. You should stick to the official docs of the library you're using

[dapper token]

yea videos didnt help at all and i ve read the whole documentation of discord py 10 times atleaxt now but for each event or class there are like 2 lines and no real description or example

thats why i am here

[fast osprey]

https://about.abstractumbra.dev/dpy has good examples and explanations for discord.py

[dapper token]

oh thanks

[fast osprey]

Also read the examples in the repo, not just the docs

[open cobalt]

guys, how would you add mongodb to a discord bot. I thought, make a seperate file called database.py and connect to the db and import the file when needed to insert, delete etc. But is that efficient or correct? Pls educate me

[fast osprey]

mongo tends to be a pretty crap db choice anyways, and it's highly unlikely that your data is actually nonrelational

what file you put the logic in is pretty much your choice and won't impact things functionally. The logic itself is what matters

[open cobalt]

I use mongodb since it is easy to learn I mean just "dictionaries" so, no database diagramm (hahah) and stuff like that. But you approve my approach for it, I mean It can be also implemented with other databases?

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't angle your design based on what's easiest

If your data is relational (it very likely is), you should use a relational database

[open cobalt]

like mysql you mean with the database language sql?

[ebon lynx]

of course, mongo db is No SQL database, so it can be helpful for storing dictionary. but there are some dis-advantages in it. if you can, you can use PostgreSQL database. you can save all type of SQL, NoSQL data in it

[open cobalt]

Ok sounds good. Would you approve my approach for adding into a discord bot?

[fast osprey]

The question of that stuff living in another file isn't particularly interesting or relevant. You could have very poor code in a very neat file, or very good and optimized code in a giant shared file

[ebon lynx]

of course, but if you don't need store too many data, firebase is the best optional, I think

[open cobalt]

ok, sounds good. What if other files need to ex insert data into that db? How would you solve this?

[open cobalt]

good old firebase. I actually built a chat app with it in python

[ebon lynx]

ok

[open cobalt]

do you have experience with relational db?

[ebon lynx]

of course, I often used RDBMS recently

sql databases have many advantages so it is widely used

you want to store chat history in sql db?

[open cobalt]

no, but when I hear relational, than I think of a diagramm where I put every table in a relation. Is it that complicated?

@ebon lynx

[ebon lynx]

not at all. it is not so hard work

[open cobalt]

ok, where do you design your relations, word?

or any other microsoft product?

[sick birch]

It doesn’t really matter

I sometimes prototype in excalidraw

[open cobalt]

sounds great

[ebon lynx]

excalidraw is ok

[sick birch]

Usually you don’t have too many nested relations so you don’t even need something to make diagrams or whatever on

[ebon lynx]

designing diagrams are for full projects in enterprise level

[tardy lagoon]

I forgot to ask this last time, is there any convention or good practice in using one over the other?

[fast osprey]

between what options?

[fluid flame]

doesn't work

[slate swan]

most likely a file you're trying to import

but apparently you don't seem to know that, which makes it probably not your code either

[slate swan]

Code:

async def roblox(ctx, username):
    await ctx.send(f'Fetching information for {username}...')
    user_info = get_roblox_user_info(username)
    if user_info:
        await ctx.send(f"User ID: {user_info['id']}\nUsername: {user_info['name']}\nDisplay Name: {user_info['displayName']}\nDescription: {user_info['description']}")
    else:
        await ctx.send('User not found.')```

Error:
```line 244, in wrapped
    raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: tuple indices must be integers or slices, not str```

**Can someone help me**

[wanton current]

user_info is a tuple, but you're trying to index it as if it were a list

Can you show the get_roblox_user_info function?

[dry kelp]

Hello! Someone has been telling me that security bot premium, in case of a channel deletion, they would restore ALL messages from that channel, which would mean storing all messages and sending them throught webhook, which technically it's bad practice to do that, since you would overload your database, and would make it a lot slower for indexing, and they responded with "im sure they don't do it that way", Which is impossible to do it in another way, am i right?

Considering you cannot pull off the messages on_channel_delete event once the channel gets deleted, if they said maybe 20-30-50 messages, it would of had been more normal, but all? It's impossible without storing them to a database, right?

Let's also considering the fact that it would require them to store a user object to send the message throught the webhook looking like the user, and also ratelimits for sending messages...

Tell me if im mistaken, thank you.

[fast osprey]

If you're storing users' messages in any fashion, you're subject to the data privacy to sanyways

[grand breach]

if there is anyone who wants to build a discord bot with me and is kinda new to python dm me

[whole field]

PYTHON IS THE BEST

[fast osprey]

What you described is not unique and also very against TOS

i was joking

i dont do such dumb shit

Hello i have created a group command:

    @ecoadmin_group.command(name="removecoin", description="Remove coins from a user's balance.")
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def removecoin(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, user: discord.User, amount: int):
        if amount <= 0:
            await interaction.response.send_message("You must remove a positive amount of coins.", ephemeral=True)
            return
        self.economy.update_balance(user.id, -amount)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Removed **{amount}** coins from {user.mention}'s balance.", ephemeral=True)

Despite of adding '@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)'
Still the non admin users have access to the restricted commands. Please help 🙂

[blissful crane]

this is a slash command, stuff from discord.ext.commands won't work on it

also, you need to put the check on the group parent, not the children
