Just making sure he knows that's technically breaking rules

this channel is for discord bots not telegram bots, you might receive some help in #1035199133436354600

#

Hello all. What's we all working on

viscid hornet
#

not made much progress

drifting arrow
#

as a discord bot?

quick gust
drifting arrow
#

What you having difficult with?

#

I assume you're stuck somewhere.

#

Coz no way you're procrastinating.

viscid hornet
#

its ok i just started

#

and did a bunch of other projects beforehand

drifting arrow
#

Oh okay then

#

Keep your secrets.

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

Is command_prefix required with slash commands?

quick gust
young dagger
#

Parameter 'command_prefix' unfilled

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

# Load env file
load_dotenv()


class Bot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            intents=discord.Intents.default(),
            activity=discord.Game(name='League of Legends'),
            status=discord.Status.online
        )
viscid hornet
young dagger
#

So the argument is required even with slash commands?

viscid hornet
#

if you have no use for text commands, opt for discord.Client instead

#

!d discord.Client

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.Client 

class discord.Client(*, intents, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

async with x 

Asynchronously initialises the client and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0...
young dagger
viscid hornet
#

Client doesn't support extensions

#

i say have a command prefix for commands like ?sync, then you can swallow the CommandNotFoundError in your error handler

timber dragon
#

You can set the command_prefix to something empty like ()

#

commands.Bot still supports prefix commands so

young dagger
#

I still need to import in every cog
from discord import app_commands from discord.ext import commands

timber dragon
#

sucks

woeful hill
#

what do you expect lol, a import *?

timber dragon
#

technically could do that.. if you import them in one file

# cogs
# - __init__.py
    from discord import app_commands
    from discord.ext import commands
# - ext.py
  from . import app_commands, commands
woeful hill
#

that seems sacrifice some readabilities for me

#

maybe im just bad

viscid hornet
slate swan
#

Probably not ideal if you have the message content intent

timber dragon
#

yeah

upper gorge
#

Is it possible to make a bot that adds users directly to any server with the help of a command? e.g if users verify themselves on the bot and give consent would it be possible ?

blissful crane
#

the simple way would be... Give the user an invite and then they click the "Join server" button

fast osprey
#

Bots cannot add users to servers directly except through the guilds.join oauth scope

drifting arrow
#

I personally don't think that should even be a feature at all

timber dragon
#

They asked about a bot specifically tho. You cannot use the guilds.join scope with the bot one

drifting arrow
#

The bot specifically cannot. However if you get the user to authorize an app, the bot should be able to run api requests to make people join servers

timber dragon
#

Ah, true

drifting arrow
#

TBH, if you have to rely on people being forced into a discord server for it to be popular then you're doing something wrong

timber dragon
#

All you need is that code

fast osprey
#

From what I understand the flow they're describing is an actual reasonable use of the guilds.join scope

drifting arrow
#

My comment still stands. However there are ways.

fast osprey
#

They didn't describe anyone being "forced" to do anything though

drifting arrow
#

The only way I think it could be used properly is if it was used as some sort of game where you solve puzzles or something

fast osprey
drifting arrow
fast osprey
#

You are not if they asked you to and you consented to it

#

How is that forcing

drifting arrow
#

Then just send them an invite link.

fast osprey
#

What they're asking allows them to perform validation before allowing this person into the server

#

Which is entirely valid

quick gust
drifting arrow
#

I mean technically but people are idiots

quick gust
#

Still does not mean they're being forced into any guild

#
  • they never really said anything about trying to make the server more popular or anything, that's just an assumption.
    This could totally be for a specific feature they're trying to implement, we don't know.
vale herald
#

Anyone know why my bot continuously posts raw userid’s in embeds? I’ve even added caching to my code to try and stop it but it just keeps happening. User.mention never mentions the user or rarely does

wanton current
#

It has nothing to do with your bot, it's the Discord client not having it cached because you don't share a server or something

shadow vigil
vale herald
young dagger
#

What is the different between tree.command, slash_command and app_command?

#

And is app_commands the recommended way to create slash commands?

wanton current
green jacinth
#

How can i create my bot to become an authorized app to the user similar to this?

image.png
fast osprey
#

What are you trying to accomplish?

green jacinth
fast osprey
#

Verify? Verify what? And at what point are you doing that? Are they already in a guild the bot is in?

green jacinth
fast osprey
#

Then your bot already has access to all of that information

#

but if all they're doing is clicking something, you're not actually verifying anything

#

except their ability to click something (which selfbots can do just fine)

green jacinth
#

The whole point is for them to be able to use commands outwside the server

fast osprey
#

oh like user install app commands?

green jacinth
#

Like this create commands

fast osprey
#

you don't need this flow (oauth) to do that

#

you can publish user install commands just fine without oauth

green jacinth
#

then where can i publish my tos, privacy policy, etc

#

the whole point of authorizing it is for ease of access on their dash

fast osprey
#

you would still have all that in your bot's about section

#

you don't need oauth to have that

fast osprey
#

Or wait squint . Is this the window for deauthorizing a user install app? Haven't seen it in a bit and might be mistaking that for the oauth deauthorize window

tiny ibex
#

hey so this is my code and I was wondering if its possible so that if the user picks one role from a dropdown then the other roles of that dropdown (if any) gets removed

📎 message.txt
fast osprey
#

FYI I'm pretty sure you can do self-service exclusive roles from the onboarding menu without needing a bot at all

smoky quiver
smoky quiver
drifting arrow
#

Aside from editing the message view, how can I reset a select menu?

#

Because currently I am editing the message view and it causes errors for me

drifting arrow
#

🤔 I think I fixed it

#

only time will tell I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

young dagger
#

So are the tree.commands only used to sync and group app commands? I'm still new to app commands

tiny ibex
#

btww does anyone know any free options to host a bot?

#

i tried oracle but they dont accept my card

fast osprey
#

!hosting

unkempt canyonBOT
#
Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it 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.

fast osprey
#

tl;dr free hosts are shit, scams, or both

tiny ibex
woeful hill
#

Then find youself one

#

There are countless of free host websites, but be careful of your data

fast osprey
#

You won't know it's also a scam until you get scammed

#

Do a little bit of work and rent a legitimate vps

how do i make sure

wanton current

by going to the dev portal and getting a new one

vital monolith
#

well i did make a bot

wanton current
#

from which page did u get the token?

stark ingot
#

also please use a .env

shrewd apex
stark ingot
#

I dont think they ever said they were using discord.py

wanton current
#

highly likely since the code they provided is almost a carbon copy of the code example in the discord.py README

stark ingot
#

TBH that is not super complex code so that does not necessarily prove anything either

wanton current
#

i suppose

ancient spire
#

i need some help

#

i want to create a system where i give a folder with photos and videos and the bot to automatically post in on a channel, is that possible?

#

like pfp and banner command

#

but my own photos

stark ingot
#

yup

#

you would just upload the files as attachments to the message

ancient spire
stark ingot
#

You should probably learn python before making a discord bot.

ancient spire
#

like if u see a command i know what to change at it to make it better for me

#

but have no idea to create it myself

#

for example i managed to make a system that deletes photos and videos that have a discord link hidden in them

fast osprey
#

The pattern of "I can only edit code" generally is a signal that someone doesn't fundamentally understand it. They don't understand why the code was made the way it was, or more importantly have the ability to question it when there is a ton of really shitty discord bot code out there. This process is going to be very slow and painful, and you will wind up with brittle code that you will struggle to fix or diagnose unless you take time to learn the fundamentals

frank osprey
#
  • learn python
  • make simple programs
  • keep going over the basics
  • learn more and go over that
  • keep on coding till you can code in python
  • look up any api wrapper and choose one
  • learn discord.py (or one of the others)
  • code simple bots
  • add more functions to the bot, keep you code clean
  • keep at it and try everything you can do
  • make a decent bot
  • profit maybe?

cunning briar

slate swan

you sent your API keys

#

if you pay for it then somebody can use your API key and rack up bills under your anem

cunning briar
#

done

fast osprey
#

Also you may want to read the terms of service and dev policy more closely before shipping user data to openai

stark ingot
#

Who says they did not?

fast osprey
#

Given that they're violating it and asking for help in a server that tells you not to violate tos, it's a fair assumption

stark ingot
#

Not quite sure how you came to that conclusion?

fast osprey
#

Because they are sending user data to a third party without capturing the user's consent?

#

(potentially also violating the the ai training clause depending on the openai settings on their key, but that's been defaulted off)

drifting arrow
# stark ingot Who says they did not?

I don't understand your questioning. If he read the TOS he'll either ignore what @fast osprey said or respond with "I did." and if he didn't he'll go read it or ask questions.

Alternatively he could just not read it and not give a damn and just do what he wants anyway until it all goes wrong.

#

But it's a fair assumption that if someones sharing their API key they probably didnt read the TOS

Your user variable is a int, (most likely the user id)
You need to use that ID to fetch the User object

Discord works with github to invalidate tokens

It's not discontinued, yeah?

pale zenith
#

no

#

literally got a major version update (v2.5.0 release) yesterday

scarlet tiger
#

In discord.py the application commands are very confusing for me, the other libraries do it better

fresh swan
#

And it supports slash commands, UI dialogs, etc.?

pale zenith
#

everything yes

fresh swan
#

Also I'm thinking about pycord - is it better?

scarlet tiger
#

And your guide is better

pale zenith
#

better is subjective. I dislike it but you should use what feels better for you

fresh swan
#

I've heard that it's unstable

stark ingot
fresh swan
#

They have some releases that break the whole library

pale zenith
#

well they've had... some issues... but they are functional

stark ingot
viscid hornet
fresh swan
#

So, is pycord reliable?

#

I've found it easier to work with slash commands in pycord

scarlet tiger
stark ingot
#

As reliable as a open source volunteer run project will be

Other libraries do everything automatically.

pale zenith
#

Syncing every time you restart just adds extra startup time (because syncing has some kinda strict rate limits) and you're just making unnecessary requests to the API to change - quite literally - nothing

#

Unless these libraries keep track of the previous commands pre-restart and compare before syncing, I don't think syncing should be done automatically at a library level

scarlet tiger
stark ingot
#

^ automatic syncing is not the same as syncing everything on startup

pale zenith
#

Yes, the act of syncing inherently does that. That's what the bulk edit app commands endpoint does

#

But it still fucks it up sometimes. It's real inconsistent and that actually annoys me lol

#

"Oh but it adds extra complication" - ok sure, you need to run one command whenever you update one of a set of specific things, but like, once you learn you need to do that, it ain't that deep lmao

#

Anyway as I said before, people should try each library and use what feels best

blissful crane
#

I've seen this conversation a couple times, and whenever I look at the slash commands examples provided by different frameworks. They all literally look the same to me and then I get confused on why people call one better or easier to use/understand

pale zenith
stark ingot
#

The main difference is when you want to do anything more than add the command. IE options and command description/name.
Pycord, nextcord, and disnake are more similar than discord.py

Unexpected error: Failed to convert moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to Member

#

Do app commands always try to convert discord.Member to a User if the user is not a member?

#

discord.app_commands.errors.TransformerError

#

Not the same as discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound

#

How can I handle errors that are related to Member conversion?

fast osprey
#

Code?

#

App commands don't try to convert anything with native supported types. You tell discord what that type is, and that's what discord gives you

young dagger
# fast osprey Code? 
    @app_commands.command(name="whois")
    async def whois(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member = None):
#

So my idea is to catch it with

        elif isinstance(error, app_commands.errors.TransformerError):
            embed = discord.Embed(
                description=f"{custom_emojis['x_emoji']} I could not find the user `{error.value.id}`.",
                color=discord.Color.red()
            )
#

But wouldn't app_commands.errors.TransformerError cover more than just member conversion?

#

Is there any way to specify to only catch member conversions?

fast osprey
#

How are you even passing in a member it can't transform?

I think you need use an union of User and Member for that to work

Or it just breaks when you don't select from the autocomplete list idr

Unexpected error: Command 'whois' raised an exception: AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'roles'

So if the user ID is not a member, we want to catch the error and say that we can't find the member

Not sure why discord sends invalid data instead of throwing a client error

Oh, true

Need a member option type then

Why am I getting:
Unresolved attribute reference 'transformer' for class 'AppCommandError'
Unresolved attribute reference 'value' for class 'AppCommandError'

My code:

Its in JS, so I have no idea

glad cradle
#

they both implement all the features of the API

stark ingot
#

If you want to us JS you will be much more successful using discord.js

verbal vine
stark ingot
#

API latency is generally going to be the most significant factor in speed. And this won't differ for different languages or libraries

blissful crane
#

personally, I really dislike the way you make commands in djs (both slash and prefix) and I love the way you make components in dpy (and forks)
for those two reasons alone, I'd use dpy over djs and recommend dpy over djs

verbal vine
#

So based on the criteria of speed and performance I have to choose, any suggestions?

fast osprey
#

As a meta suggestion, you will not get an unbiased answer to "is X or Y better?" in the official support server for X

sick birch
#

speed and performance will matter on your app more than it will on the library

#

discord bots are fairly IO heavy and usually dwarf whatever CPU bound stuff the library is doing

fast osprey
#

Bots are extremely IO bound, you're not mining bitcoin here you're sending a bunch of network requests and waiting on them

sick birch
#

so usually what ends up happening is people start doing like, image generation which is CPU bound and can take some time (relatively speaking) on the same event loop as their bot. but you can have the same problem in JS, though I assume it would be less common because unlike in Python, JS is by default async and most libraries are built around callbacks or async

or set up a .env file: $ pip install python-dotenv ... TOKEN="..." ```py

You most likely are just layering stuff videos tell you to do on top of each other

rather than starting from a blank slate

warm pecan

i might honestly just uninstall and reinstall VSC

and since you don't understand what you're doing when you do it, you have no clue if that's hurting you later when you try to do something else

#

this isn't a vsc thing

warm pecan

anyway to just like reset?

VSC is just a text editor

that isn't going to change how your program actually works

i might just delete my files and restart everything

Before you even think about vsc, what matters first is your python environment

I will say that bots layer on several concepts at once, including but not limited to OOP + asyncio + network + callbacks etc. If you try to learn all of these at once, you will have difficulty

warm pecan
#

What one do you suggest I learn first

fast osprey
#

OOP concepts are incredibly important in almost any language and any framework you will find yourself using

warm pecan
#

Sorry let me rephrase: Where should I go after completing the quickstart page

warm pecan
fast osprey
#

In my opinion, you should do focused learning on the base concepts before trying to build a bot. You can elect to not do that, which is your call. The library fully documents all of the methods available to it, and there are examples in the repo too depending on what you want to do

warm pecan
fast osprey
#

Even if all you want to do is brain surgery, you still need to learn how to hold a scalpel first

warm pecan
#

Don’t even know where to start though to be honest, python has so much too it

fast osprey
#

There aren't any shortcuts, these frameworks build on top of lots of things and if you try to skip those things you will be in way, way deeper just copy pasting code you don't understand

#

You can learn those things while building a bot, but you do have to stop to understand them independently or you'll just layer on more copy pasting

Hiii, ive made a discord bot recently ive coded the bot to send a word from a words.json file and scramble it now i want the bot to track if the user sends the correct answer or reacts with a certian emoji witch will skip the game and start a new one displaying the answer when the user gets it correct it should say they did and then start a new game this worked before after no chances of the code just bot restarts and now its not working correctly is anyone able to support me?

drifting arrow
cinder walrus
#

The tracking part and the skip part, before i had the bot codes just to track messages and wasnt doing anything to with the skip part now ive added the skip part aswell it doesnt seem to be tracking the message or allowing the user to skip

fast osprey
#

It's unclear what you want by "tracking" or "skipping"

drifting arrow
#

I assume he's tracking using the "on message"?

#

🤔

fast osprey
#

Well "track" is ambiguous

drifting arrow
#

His entire thing is confusing

fast osprey
#

You get message events sure, but what are you trying to do when you get a message

cinder walrus
#

Soo let me explain better sorry,
the bot will start a game this game gets a random word from words.json file and scrambles it the bot then replys with the scrambled word and adds the 🔄 react to it the aim is for the user to unscramble the word so say the world is Hello the bot will send for the game unscramble the word Elhlo now the user needs to either correctly guess it this can be done by replying simply with Hello, hello, HELLO ect, or the user has the option of reacting to the 🔄 and after one reaction it will skip it and output the answer allong with sayinng it was skipped and starting a new game.

#

@fast osprey @drifting arrow dont know if thats easier to understand ^

fast osprey
#

You're doing to have difficulty doing this with reactions. Reactions are severely antiquated for user flows

#

You should use a ui button

cinder walrus
#

ive just recently learnt ui buttons ill try implementing that then

fast osprey
#

With the button, you declare what happens when someone clicks it directly

cinder walrus
#

i wanted to make it adventurly so say 2 people had to react for it to skip hence why didnt do the button

fast osprey
#

You can do that with buttons, it's just tracking state

cinder walrus
#

okay

fast osprey
#

Otherwise if you want to do reactions, you will need to make a global reaction listener and then figure out if that's on a message you care about and then what you want to do. People can react to any message and your bot gets that event

cinder walrus
#

defo confusing for my brain ahah it also tracks the streak and stuff but ill see how it goes

#

ahh ok

fast osprey
#

You can also use buttons for things like this hint, or even for users to submit guesses directly to the bot rather than through a message

cinder walrus
#

ok

smoky quiver

#

there are few cases where you're not going to be I/O limited

Assuming all commands on that specific .py file that holds this "command" work.

And assuming you're following the same format for other commands,

do me a favor and rename the function snus to "gnome" and run your code.

and attempt to run the command "gnome"

you arent sharing your code so I have to blindly test

There's an infinite number of things that could be wrong here. We can either waste our time guessing them one by one, or you can just send the code

Alright then the only answer is you compare the differences between a command that does work and this command and figure out what's wrong.

you only need to check the @bot line and the function line

gl guessing I suppose. Takes 2 seconds to copy paste

Yeah <@&831776746206265384> this stuff is pretty sketchy, they get a token from some unseen place that they feel the need to test against a user endpoint, then send a bunch of racist/homophobic stuff to a channel pinging someone

yeah because discord.Guild.get_role() first argument is self and not role_id

you need an instance of discord.Guild, not the class

and the second line you also print the members from the class discord.Role

seems like you need basic OOP knowledge first

How do i make pages of modals with disnake

Or send 2 modals in one message?

You can only send a single modal at a time.
You can maybe send two buttons each of which open a different modal, if that's what you want

sick birch
#

i believe you can send buttons as response to modal submits

Or can you just do buttons? never done straight buttons

^ I don't get why people are excited for this

Instead of improving existing components and taking suggestions serious, they are adding new components to replace embeds

nothing new

though iirc some people mentioned that this update was sort of "blocking" modals/components updates

Using py-cord, for some reason the bot claims it can't ping everyone for my cross server system yet it has the permissions for the channel, but not the role at that would be considered unsafe. If I turn it on for the role, it says it has the permissions. Any ideas on what's wrong here? This is being ran in a slash command.

permissions = channel.permissions_for(ctx.guild.me)
                required_permissions = [
                    permissions.send_messages,
                    permissions.view_channel,
                    permissions.mention_everyone if role_id != -1 and not ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).mentionable else True
                ]
                print(required_permissions)
            
                if not all(required_permissions):
                    missing_perms = []
                    if not permissions.send_messages:
                        missing_perms.append("Send Messages")
                    if not permissions.view_channel:
                        missing_perms.append("View Channel")
                    if not permissions.mention_everyone and role_id != -1 and not ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).mentionable:
                        missing_perms.append("Mention Roles/Everyone (You have a role ID attached but I can't ping it!)")

                    missing_perms_string = '\n'.join(missing_perms) #this is so bad, can't have new lines in f strings directly.
                    return await ctx.respond(
                        f"I don't have the required permissions in {channel.mention}. Missing: ``{missing_perms_string}``",
                    )

How does @tasks.loop(seconds=30) handle errors? For example, if I run a separate function within that task, if that function errors will the task be terminated or only until the next 30 seconds goes by it will re-run?

i believe if a task errors, it is completely destroyed

sick birch

IME it doesn't get re run

drifting arrow

It's an absolute disaster if it errors

Please do not error your tasks.loop.

#

🤔 Im in a bit of a sticky wicket

sick birch
drifting arrow
#

My bot sends a "question" with an attached button.

How do I detect who has pressed the button and update the parent script that sent the button so my on_message event knows?

#

!paste

#

The command is "test_question" for now. It will send the question, I need to find out who has pressed the button so that main script knows, so my on_message event also knows lol

#

I dont particularly want to put the on_message event inside of the butons file

sick birch
#

you can wrap this up into a little function that sends a view, and returns who clicked a button

drifting arrow
sick birch
drifting arrow
sick birch

#

And I need to be able to detect if someone has viewed the hints or not.

sick birch

sounds like it'd be easier to just handle all of that inside the view callbacks than trying to propagate it up

woeful hill
#

How about a hint button just do the exact same but with the hint

#

Just with the hint and edit the score

#

Well you still need a way to store who pressed what exactly

drifting arrow

Alright I came up with a hacky sacky solution

And there's no way this will ever cause me issues at any point in the future. Yep. I see no issues being caused by this whatsoever

You can send embeds any time in any channel you want (where your bot has permissions ofc)

#

Not sure what you mean with "call a embed"

why did you define your command inside a function

#

Enabling the perm in the channel means all roles can be mentioned; the specific role permissions are overridden in that case.

also the reason for your error is that it needs to be a raw string or the path needs to be POSIX

Just wondering if i could get a suggestion regrading this im making multipurppose bot one of its features it it tracks messages sent in chat and gives the user xp for that and xp is used to rank up this is amazing but this is global and the only way i know of making it server based is structing a json file like this:
Server SERVERID
User USERID
Xp Serverxp
and ive realised when were tallking over 10k people it quickly becomes a very big file, i already have a file called userdata and that has around 10 lines of data per user is there a simpular way i can do this?

fast osprey
#

You shouldn't be using a json file to track application data, period

cinder walrus
fast osprey
#

Yes

cinder walrus
#

i did look into using mongodb i dont really know what the best one is to use ive always used json files

wanton current
#

we usually recommend SQL databases such as SQLite and PostgreSQL

#

any database is better than json, and any other database is better than mongo

#

Asterisk before the mongo apologists @ me, there's nuance
