        await message.delete()```

#help-pear

[lament mesa]

oh wait

discord.Message doesnt have __eq__

That means you cant compare 2 Message objects

[agile goblet]

compare ids

[lament mesa]

Do reaction.message.id == message.id

[gloomy coral]

[stark bobcat]

Can you send a embed to user dms

async def on_user_update(before, after):
    print(f'{before} has updated his account information!')
    if before.display_name != after.display_name:
        print()``` How do I make it so it shows what information has changed about the user?

cause right now it tells me "user has updated his account information"

but how do I see what changed

[spring flax]

that is for nicknames

so you should be doing on_member_update

[proven elm]

I have both

[spring flax]

and since before and after are member objects, they too would have the dispaly_name or mention attr

[proven elm]

@client.event
async def on_user_update(before, after):
    print(f'{before} has updated his account information!')``` so how do I print the display_name before and after

for member

[stiff knot]

Anyone know why line 44 indentation isn't right?

damnnnn thankk you

[muted gale]

what happends when discord.py ends?

[lament mesa]

nothing

forks will be made

[slate swan]

You can try using waiting for maintenanced forks

[muted gale]

will it still work when the api updates?

[slate swan]

Like there's already edpy, hikari, etc.

[slate swan]

dpy library will be ceased, you'll have to find other libraries/forks

[muted gale]

oh ok

[proven elm]

missing 1 required positional argument: 'after'

[signal forge]

i am obliged to ask waht theme this is

[proven elm]

do you not like it?

[waxen granite]

is there a way for a bot to be able to change the name of guild owner?

[signal forge]

i love it that's why i'm asking

[proven elm]

ahaha lemme get it for you

these are my extensions

pretty sure its rainbow brackets and monokai pro

and also material icons theme

how to get bot username and tag python

[slate swan]

I think I know my error

[spring flax]

``` this doesn't really change anything now, but in case you put this similar code to a `insert` statement, use the above (don't use f strings)@slate swan

[spring flax]

it was for what you asked about pass_context

[slate swan]

ok

Thanks for ur help

[spring flax]

if it is for a command
ctx.me.name and ctx.me.discriminator
Or you can do str(ctx.me)

[zinc lion]

oh okay thanks, its cause someone replied to it so i got a bit confused

[hoary gust]

guys how can i check that if a channel is in a particular category or not

?

[slate swan]

okay yeah so

[hoary gust]

@spring flax^

[peak rune]

?

[slate swan]

.

[peak rune]

which would i use

str(ctx.me)?

Hi,
I was wondering if those dynamic timestamps were possible using discord.py
(dynamic timestamps are the things like <t:1630609200:R> and <t:1630609200:f>)

[maiden fable]

Indeed

[spring flax]

code?

[honest hazel]

https://codeshare.io/WdXO9E

[hoary gust]

i mean like

category = discord.utils.get(member.guild.categories, name='Verification-Logger')
log = discord.utils.get(channels, name="zenesis-verification-logger")
if logs in category:
    pass
if logs not in category:
    log = await member.guild.create_text_channel("Zenesis-Verification-Logger", category=category)

will it work @maiden fable

?

How do you do it?
I can't find it on google or the docs, all it shows is standard timestamps

Is there a module to convert to the unix time so it can be done automatically?

BRO I HATE MYSELF

LMAO

[maiden fable]

!d time.time

[unkempt canyon]

time.time

time.time() → float```
Return the time in seconds since the [epoch](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/time.html#epoch) as a floating point number. The specific date of the epoch and the handling of [leap seconds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second) is platform dependent. On Windows and most Unix systems, the epoch is January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 (UTC) and leap seconds are not counted towards the time in seconds since the epoch. This is commonly referred to as [Unix time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time). To find out what the epoch is on a given platform, look at `gmtime(0)`.

Note that even though the time is always returned as a floating point number, not all systems provide time with a better precision than 1 second. While this function normally returns non-decreasing values, it can return a lower value than a previous call if the system clock has been set back between the two calls.

[maiden fable]

Just use time.time hehe

[slate swan]

wait it don't use discord one

oh my bad

[maiden fable]

?

!d datetime.datetime.timestamp

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.timestamp

datetime.timestamp()```
Return POSIX timestamp corresponding to the [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instance. The return value is a [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/functions.html#float "float") similar to that returned by [`time.time()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/time.html#time.time "time.time").

Naive [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instances are assumed to represent local time and this method relies on the platform C `mktime()` function to perform the conversion. Since [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") supports wider range of values than `mktime()` on many platforms, this method may raise [`OverflowError`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/exceptions.html#OverflowError "OverflowError") for times far in the past or far in the future.

For aware [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instances, the return value is computed as:

```py
(dt - datetime(1970, 1, 1, tzinfo=timezone.utc)).total_seconds()
```   New in version 3.3.

Changed in version 3.6: The [`timestamp()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.timestamp "datetime.datetime.timestamp") method uses the [`fold`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.fold "datetime.datetime.fold") attribute to disambiguate the times during a repeated interval.

[hasty iron]

there is also fromtimestamp

[slate swan]

[unkempt canyon]

Returns an [`AsyncIterator`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.AsyncIterator "discord.AsyncIterator") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permissions to use this.

[hasty iron]

i cant provide further help sorry

[honest hazel]

and i also want that like if the person search instead of url

[honest hazel]

i want like the person search the keywords instead of using url

how we can do this?

[hasty iron]

i cant help you sorry

[honest hazel]

why tho

[slate swan]

was it solved?

[hasty iron]

ytdl violates youtube tos

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

[slate swan]

we told you not to put member as a arg already..

it's just before and after

[honest hazel]

dm pls?

[hasty iron]

i dont do dm help

[proven elm]

Yeah its fixed now

[slate swan]

aight

[proven elm]

but I used member for a different part which was the issue

[honest hazel]

  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/ext/commands/bot.py", line 939, in invoke

[proven elm]

When it says something is already a command does that mean python recognises the word so I cant use it?

[slate swan]

yeah

[honest hazel]

i think its same error

[proven elm]

I am trying to make a .help command but it says the command is already a thing

[slate swan]

remove help command

[honest hazel]

u need to remove

it

[slate swan]

2 command names can't have the same name

[proven elm]

what do you mean? I only have one async def help

[light radish]

What is the "new" module that will replace discord.py considering that the discord.py dev discontinued it?

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(*args, **kwargs, help_command=None)

[proven elm]

So there is no way for me to use .help in my bot?

[hasty iron]

there is a default help command

you have to remove it first

[proven elm]

how can I remove it?

[slate swan]

you'll have to wait for a fork that is maintained or use another library

[hasty iron]

.

[proven elm]

oh thank you

[honest hazel]

in the helps.cogs

[light radish]

Yep, but what is the best one?

[slate swan]

this isn't suggested

[honest hazel]

i use cogs so yea

[light radish]

Nextcord?

[honest hazel]

oh ok sry leme remove

[light radish]

I have no idea which one I can use/learn

[slate swan]

you can try edpy tbh. it's the closest to the actual dpy lib

[honest hazel]

any one help?

[proven elm]

it says kwargs and args isnt defined

how/where do I define it

[slate swan]

How can I make bot mention the person that I'm mention

@bot.command()
async def hack(ctx,*,message=""):
  message = await ctx.send(f"Starting the hack for {#user.mention}...") 
  await asyncio.sleep(0.5) 
  await message.edit(content="**[25%]** Finding Ip...")
  await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
  await message.edit(content="**[50%]** Found successfully the IP")
  await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
  await message.edit(content="**[57%]** Looking for email and password...!")
  await asyncio.sleep(0.3)
  await message.edit(content=f"**[75%]** DONE! email : {#user.name}@gmail.com` | password : `salM32{#user.name}52r")
  await asyncio.sleep(0.6)
  await message.edit(content=f"**[100%]** Done hacking {#user.mention}")
  await asyncio.sleep(0.3)
  await message.edit(content=f" {ctx.author.mention}I will send you the info dm😄!")
  await asyncio.sleep(1.5)
  await ctx.author.send(f"Email: `{#user.mention}@gmail.com`\n Password: salM32{user.name}52r")

[slate swan]

bruh

send your bot constructor

[proven elm]

that looks illegal

[slate swan]

https://pypi.org/project/enhanced-dpy/

or even try !pypi hikari

[honest hazel]

help pls?

[slate swan]

both are good tbh

[honest hazel]

still waiting

[slate swan]

?

[proven elm]

bot constructor?

[slate swan]

what is this with ytdl yeah we can't help you

[honest hazel]

uh

[proven elm]

sorry I am pretty new to discord.py and python

[honest hazel]

so is there any way we can fix?

[slate swan]

where you defined commands.Bot()

[honest hazel]

or remove ydl

ytdl

[proven elm]

@slate swan

[light radish]

Oh thnks, which one you think is the best one? Hikari, enhanced or Nextcord?

[slate swan]

okay, do client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '.', intents=intents, help_command=None

essentially, args mean arguements, and kwargs mean key word arguements.

[proven elm]

ty

[limber cosmos]

Can someone share an example of how to move an existing text channel to a category?

I found this in the docs but not sure how to implement: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=move#discord.TextChannel.move

[proven elm]

oh okayyy

[slate swan]

which was what i meant when i wrote that

[slate swan]

honestly, right now i'd say hikari

[proven elm]

so you wanted me replace your args and kwargs with what it actually should be

[slate swan]

it has slash commands already implmented

[slate swan]

args the the positional arguements, kwargs are optional

[hoary gust]

                category = discord.utils.get(member.guild.categories, name='Verification-Logger')
                log = discord.utils.get(channels, name="zenesis-verification-logger")
                print(category)
                print(log)
                cat = category.channels
                print(cat)
                if category is None:
                    overrides = {member.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(send_messages=False, read_messages=False)}
                    position  = 0
                    category = await member.guild.create_category(name="Verification-Logger", overwrites=overrides, reason = "Zenesis verification system" ,position = position)
                if log not in cat:
                    log = await member.guild.create_text_channel("Zenesis-Verification-Logger", category=category)
                

guys my bot is making the channel even if it is in the category but why?

[slate swan]

for example, on the on_message event, you need to do on_message(message), so message is an arguement. not kwarg, because you need to put it

[light radish]

K, thx. Just one more question does it have Cogs?

[hoary gust]

someone help

[light radish]

Or something similar?

[slate swan]

hikari? yes

!pypi hikari

[unkempt canyon]

hikari v2.0.0.dev101

A sane Discord API for Python 3 built on asyncio and good intentions

[hoary gust]

someone help

[light radish]

thx, I will try hikari

[slate swan]

use category=

[limber cosmos]

So what would that look like? discord.TextChannel.move(category=category)? I'm new to reading docs.

[maiden fable]

I just told u. category.channels dude

[hoary gust]

wdym

can u explain

?

[maiden fable]

category.channels returns the list of channels in that category

[hoary gust]

yep i saw it returned

[dapper cobalt]

Then try to find the channel in the list of channels.

[hoary gust]

but still why is it making the channel

@dapper cobalt ^

[dapper cobalt]

I don't understand your code well. Could you please use a code pasting website?

!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.pydis.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[hoary gust]

ok

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/xokeneqewe.py

this is what i am trying to do

@dapper cobalt

[dapper cobalt]

I'm reading it you don't have to ping me many times..

[hoary gust]

ok

me wanna make a channel only if the channel is not in the category

but its creating it everytime

[dapper cobalt]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/emaleriqeg.py

@hoary gust try this

[hoary gust]

ok

lemme

[tight obsidian]

API question: if I get a message of type GUILD_DISCOVERY_DISQUALIFIED, what is its author going to be?
author is specified as non-optional and non-nullable... so what is it?

[waxen granite]

anyone?

[hoary gust]

not working

[dapper cobalt]

Error?

[hoary gust]

no error

its just creating channels even if it exists

[slate swan]

channel.history is an async iterator, you need to use an async for loop instead of a normal one, ```py
async for message in channel.history():
print("your message: ", message.content)

this uses an API call every 100 message you iterate so

[waxen granite]

skipping it xd

[vale narwhal]

Am i doing anything wrong?

@bot.event
async def on_member_remove(ctx, member):
	await ctx.guild.ban(member)
	print(f"Banned {member} ")

why it ain't banning when i leave

[slate swan]

on_member_remove only receive member, you can't just add ctx and expect it to give you, remove it, if you want to ban the member, use member.ban instead

[vale narwhal]

Ah

so i need to remove it right?

[slate swan]

yes remove ctx from the parameter, as it only take 1 pos argument

[vale narwhal]

Still not banning tho-

[slate swan]

is the print not printing?

[vale narwhal]

yes

[slate swan]

do you have member intents

[vale narwhal]

And not banning tho

lemme checj

oops seem like no

lemme try add it

[slate swan]

why are you reading 100 messages anyways

[high flame]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

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

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[waxen granite]

counting them

[high flame]

many api calls

i wouldn't do that

[slate swan]

like, the whole channel or just 100 messages

[waxen granite]

is there any other way?

[high flame]

count them

[waxen granite]

whole channel

[slate swan]

that's the only way, unless you want to count them from on_message and store them on a db

[waxen granite]

i am trying to do exactly that

the unless part

[high flame]

for example, fetching all messages of this channel (#discord-bots) is too many api calls

1 api call for every 100 messages

[waxen granite]

yes i get that

[slate swan]

it wont get you banned to be fair, it would just be slow, from my experience 14 mil messages would take about 4 - 5 hours

[high flame]

insert into your db (author_id, message_counts, channel_id)

and increment message_counts on_message

[waxen granite]

would that count the previous msgs too?

[high flame]

no

[waxen granite]

how do i count prev msgs or it is same like you said before - too many api callss, i shouldnt count them

[vale narwhal]

Ah-

[high flame]

that's your choice but i dont recommend doing it

[slate swan]

it doesn't take any pos arguments, just member.ban()

[vale narwhal]

Alrighty

[waxen granite]

well if it get me in trouble i wont, just confirming from you, i am bit confused xd

[vale narwhal]

Working fine tysm!

[slate swan]

there really aren't any other way than just channe.history() for previous messages

[vale narwhal]

Im new to this language haha-

[regal rapids]

            await message.author.send(embed=em)
            await message.delete(seconds=1)
``` i dont get any errors from this and it still doesnt work

[high flame]

learn python before discord.py

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you need the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[high flame]

delay

not seconds

if that's what you meant to do

[slate swan]

for i in message.content, you're iterating each character of message.content, so i will never be "test"

[vale narwhal]

I immediately learn discord.js before js tho

[high flame]

js != python

how do i fix this

[high flame]

||again, mod questions are hard to understand||

[regal rapids]

how would i only watch for that word then

[slate swan]

use in, ```py

content = "abctest"
"test" in content
True
"test!" in content
False

[eager bolt]

someone

[lament mesa]

You are making too many requests to the api.

[slate swan]

basically, you were ban from discord, you have to wait until you get unbanned

[high flame]

you use replit?

[eager bolt]

my bot got banned?

[high flame]

yeah

[high flame]

reply

[eager bolt]

why

[eager bolt]

ye?

[high flame]

that is it

[eager bolt]

hm

[tight obsidian]

@eager bolt Not really "banned". APIs usually have a limit on how often you can request them, and if you go over that limit, you're put on cooldown. That's called "rate limiting".

[high flame]

read ^^ the first part

[slate swan]

discord.py is discontinued why?

[spring flax]

huh

[high flame]

sorry for ping

[spring flax]

oh

[eager bolt]

aha okay

[tight obsidian]

Read the top pin in this channel

[slate swan]

ok

[regal rapids]

im still so confused

[slate swan]

oh

[slate swan]

in will check if the left side contains elements on the right side, so if you try to apply it in your case, you can just do ```py
if "test" in message.content:
# do your stuff

[lone flume]

How do i do this?

[lament mesa]

!d discord.User.bot

[unkempt canyon]

[hasty iron]

i did

you are missing an fstring

[slate swan]

wht should i define server with

[hasty iron]

Context.guild or Member.guild

you have both of those objects

[slate swan]

ohk thnx

[hasty iron]

use either one

[lone flume]

await member.send(f"ejtnkgresgm")

[slate swan]

bro

[slate swan]

its saying Context not defined

[hasty iron]

you need a Context object

you have one

[slate swan]

ctx.guild

[slate swan]

what, slash commands?

[hasty iron]

yes

[slate swan]

its not working

[slate swan]

how?

[open brook]

how to use bot object in help command

[slate swan]

just do you have been kicked in ctx.guild.name

[open brook]

in other cogs we can us it as self.client

[slate swan]

ohk

if you use self.client in cogs you should be able to use client without cogs

Why does it shows smthing like this?

Anyone has any way to make this not open the db all the time?

[lone flume]

For just a normal command

[slate swan]

you are looking at the wrong thing mate

it's this you want

[slate swan]

bruh, use f strings

[vagrant brook]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[lament mesa]

You can cache the data in the database

[lone flume]

Ah

[pale turtle]

Wdym?

[lone flume]

But theres no example..

[slate swan]

do you need one?

[vagrant brook]

It's a boolean

[lone flume]

Yup

[slate swan]

and what for

[vagrant brook]

Do you even need an example

[slate swan]

thnx

[lament mesa]

You can load the data in the db into the ram

Iirc that won't work. I made a persistent database pool once and tried to use it and it raised some errors. You need to open a pool everytime you use database

[lone flume]

Ok ty

[hasty iron]

it could've been on your end

[slate swan]

cool

I don't remember but I'll try to reproduce it

[slate swan]

just use self.pool.fetch instead, this will internally uses acquire

[proven elm]

Anyone got any project ideas thats the same difficulty as a discord bot?

[hasty iron]

hm

[lament mesa]

I think that you can use pandas to do that

[slate swan]

#discord-bots message
#discord-bots message

[pale turtle]

What do you mean by internally?

[hasty iron]

thats because acquire creates a new connection

and you stored that connection

and used it everywehre

[slate swan]

Wait did I say pool? Sorry I meant connection

[pale turtle]

What if I want to make two oprations?

[lone flume]

Undefined term "bot"

[hasty iron]

just make two operations...?

[slate swan]

firstly it isn't discord.Member, use p1

and use client.user

you haven't defined bot

[lament mesa]

Then use acquire it will do both in the same transaction

[lone flume]

I used memeber but it said undefined name "member

[slate swan]

bruh, i was giving you an example

[lone flume]

Ok wht abt p2?

[slate swan]

don't copy paste, just try to understand..

[slate swan]

same thing

[vagrant brook]

Hmm

If you can't differentiate between a class and it's instance then probably you should go back and learn some python

[lone flume]

instead of client.command()?

[slate swan]

bruh no

if p1 == client.user

[pale turtle]

Wait so I should use:

class Bot(commands.Bot):
  __init__:
    self.pool = self.loop.run_until_complete(asyncpg.create_pool(dsn=dsn))

  async def fetch(self, query, *args, timeout=None):
    async with self.pool.acquire() as conn:
      return await conn.fetch(query, *args, timeout=timeout)```

[vagrant brook]

Like coming here to get spoonfed every single line of your code isn't a way to learn

[slate swan]

[lament mesa]

There is pool.fetch

You can use that if you are doing a single operation

If you are doing multiple, you should probably do it under the same transaction

[slate swan]

it's basically what you defined commands.Bot as + .user. if you are given code just please don't copy paste it without understanding it

[pale turtle]

Oh yeah ok, thanks

    async def is_blacklisted(self, target_id: int):

!d discord.User.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, file=None, files=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, mention_author=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

If the `embed` parameter is provided, it must be of type [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") and it must be a rich embed type.

i've tried client.get_user(user).send(msg_), it gives me AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

[slate swan]

it means get_user is returning None, that user id is not cached

[river forge]

rewrote it to this

async def send_message(msg_, user_id):
    user = await client.fetch_user(user_id)
    await user.send(msg_)


def msg(msg_, user_id):
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    coroutine = send_message(msg_, user_id)
    loop.run_until_complete(coroutine)

giving me this now

 pass
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback```

[slate swan]

huh, are you running the bot at all, what's preventing you from not just awaiting it

[river forge]

trying to run msg() synchronously

i'll try to rewrite it to run the stuff I want from the on_ready() event

[slate swan]

just use loop.create_task instead of run_until_complete

        while True:
            reaction = await self.client.wait_for_reaction(emoji="✅", message=message)
            await self.client.add_roles(reaction.message.author, role)

id's are integers not strings

and on_ready does not take any arguments

this solved my problem, runs fine now

[slate swan]

Where do I put self and ctx then?

[lament mesa]

Context only gets passed into commands

So I have to rewrite this?

How can i check if the author is in the same voice channel with the bot?

[proven elm]

Why is my bot sending the help section twice when I do .help

when I do .help it gives me the help commands twice

[slate swan]

have you tried restarting your bot

[proven elm]

yeah

[slate swan]

okay, hmm

i see you are using cogs, do you have 2 on_message maybe?

[cinder horizon]

sends links will ju?

[hasty iron]

its on my profile

https://github.com/blanketsucks/miku

[proven elm]

I got rid of cogs

cause it caused problems

[opaque trail]

is the bot being hosted twice somewhere?

perhaps you left a console open or something

[proven elm]

ive closed vs code but the bot is still online?

[hasty iron]

it doesn’t turn offline immediately

[opaque trail]

try using a command, it takes around 2 minutes until the bot changes the presence

[limber cosmos]

It usually takes a minute or two to reflect.

[proven elm]

awhhh its fixed now thanks

[fleet oracle]

How would I do that when no role has been registered in the server, send a message when they want to execute the mute command? please

    async def setmuterole(self, ctx, role_id:int):
        with open("rolmute.json", "r") as f:
            rolmute = json.load(f)
        rolmute[str(ctx.guild.id)] = role_id
        with open("rolmute.json", "w") as f:
            json.dump(rolmute, f, indent=4)

        embed = discord.Embed(description=f'Se ha cambiado rol mute al rol <@&{role_id}>', color = ctx.guild.me.top_role.color)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

oml please someone help me

[opaque trail]

        with open("rolmute.json", "r") as f:
            rolmute = json.load(f)

        if str(ctx.guild.id) not in rolmute:
          await ctx.send("No mute role has been registered.")
          return

implement that in the mute command, I recommend using a database such as sqlite instead of json and you should check if the mute id is valid

[spring flax]

With?

[slate swan]

I'm coding a discord bot

with no coding experience whatsoever

and I've run into a problem

[spring flax]

Why not just try and look for a role named muted from ctx.guild

[opaque trail]

yep you can do that too

[fleet oracle]

I still don't learn how to use the db, I am using this as an alternative, but they already told me before that they are better, avoid errors and are faster, I will use them soon, thanks
i will try to do that

[opaque trail]

okay good luck

[fleet oracle]

It is a bot in Spanish, I have seen servers where they have the name of the muted role very funny and I would like it better that way

[fleet oracle]

shows

[opaque trail]

exactly, thats why i do not like looking for the role by name

[slate swan]

k

[fleet oracle]

yeah

[fleet oracle]

send the code

and the error

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.bot(command_prefix = '.')

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

[slate swan]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 4, in <module>
client = commands.bot(command_prefix = '.')
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


[opaque trail]

alrighty

so there are two types of bots in discord.py
a client which does not include any command features etc, kinda like discord.js
and a bot which includes all of these features
now, you should always use a bot, I dont see why you would use a client
basically you created a bot and then overridden that bot with a client
so just remove that line that has this code:

client = discord.Client()

AND you have a typo in commands.Bot, it should be commands.Bot, not commands.bot

[fleet oracle]

capital letters matter a lot

[slate swan]

oh lord I'm seeing that now

[full lily]

client doesn't support command features?

[slate swan]

is it fine if I post all the code here? it's only 50 lines

[fleet oracle]

if you want to send a code like this

client = discord.Client()

use` three on each side

``

[opaque trail]

well no if you use a client you cant do client.command

[fleet oracle]

Yes do not worry

[opaque trail]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

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.

[full lily]

right, right

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '.')

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

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

if message.content.startswith('compliment me'):
  await message.channel.send('u suck')

if message.content.startswith('LOL'):
  await message.channel.send('licking oversized lameasses')

if message.content.startswith('Compliment me'):
  await message.channel.send('u suck')

if message.content.startswith('insult me'):
  await message.channel.send('u suck')





if message.content.startswith('lol'):
  await message.channel.send('licking oversized lameasses')

if message.content.startswith('Im so cool'):
  await message.channel.send('no your not, fuck you')

if message.content.startswith('Hello'):
  await message.channel.send('no one likes you loser')

@client.command()
async def kick(ctx, member : discord.member, *, reason=none):
await member.kick(reason=reason)

@client.command()
async def ban(ctx, member : discord.member, *, reason=none):
await member.ban(reason=reason)

client.run('my bot token is here so just replacing it')

it worked, replacing bot with Bot, but now a new prob

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 43, in <module>
@client.command()
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'command'


[opaque trail]

yes but you should still delete the following line:

client = discord.Client()

[slate swan]

ok

[opaque trail]

and one more thing, in you ban and kick commands replace none by None and replace discord.member by discord.Member

[slate swan]

it worked!

omg ty

[opaque trail]

your kick and ban commands probably dont work too, you have an on_message event that breaks the command invoker
so you should add this:

 await bot.process_commands(message)

to your on_message event and you shouldnt really use on_message to make commands, you should use normal commands kinda like the ban and kick commands you made

[jade jolt]

if you want to use on_message use @client.listen('on_message') instead

i hope thats right

[opaque trail]

uhh doesnt really matter but ok

[jade jolt]

it doesnt override the process_commands call

just a suggestion

[opaque trail]

oh it does? hmm, perhaps client.listen adds and event and client.event overrides the normal one

[jade jolt]

correct

[slate swan]

yeah they dont work

well where should I put await bot.process_commands(message)

how do i catch this exeception?

attempting to use discord.Forbidden results in failure

[jagged root]

Hey!! How do i make an event code only work if an specific user or role uses it.

[plain egret]

if ctx.message.author.id == "yourid": do something

[jagged root]

Thanks.

[plain egret]

or

[wicked atlas]

        # handle here
```![this](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/470903994118832130.webp?size=128 "this") this should work

[jagged root]

Thanks

too

[plain egret]

i tried it

unable to catch

[vale pendant]

Is the bot missing perms or the user?

[plain egret]

        if isinstance(error, discord.Forbidden):
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Access Denied").add_field(name="Error", value="Member mentioned has higher role order than me and/or is a Moderator.")
            await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)

[wicked atlas]

Hmm. Try printing out type(error) and see if it's of a different type or something

[plain egret]

this should work in theory but in practise doesnt

[vale pendant]

if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissons)```

[wicked atlas]

ah yes

[plain egret]

then it should send this one

[wicked atlas]

Just want to mention, that Missing Permissions could also happen if the bot is not given the proper permissions to do something.

So your response here might be misleading

[plain egret]

        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Access Denied").add_field(
                name="Missing Permissions", value="BAN_MEMBERS"
            )
            await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)

[vale pendant]

If the bot doesn't have permissions just add Bot in front of MissingPermissons in a elif statement.

[plain egret]

this handles if the author has perms

[vale pendant]

Yes.

BotMissingPermissons Handles if the bot is missing permissions.

[plain egret]

I will now try that, Thank you, my good sire!

[wicked atlas]

Ah. Yeah, you can tell I don't do much with error handling in discord.py

idk were to add it there

i tried many ways

[jagged root]

this

[vale pendant]

Doesn't send the message?

[plain egret]

more info: this exception occurs when an admin tries to ban an admin with the same role order

[jagged root]

@plain egret were should i add it?

[vale pendant]

You have to check if the author has the same role as the user mentioned.

[plain egret]

no no

[vale pendant]

if ctx.author.top_role == member.top_role:
  return await ctx.send("You have the same highest role.")```

[plain egret]

oh

thanks.

[vale pendant]

Yeah.

[jagged root]

@plain egret Im having some problems

I dont know were to place it it always give an error and i want it to be a role not an user id

@vale pendant Could you help me

[plain egret]

ritz

your solution worked!!

[vale pendant]

You want a command to be role only?

[plain egret]

thanks :)

[vale pendant]

Of course.

[jagged root]

a event

[vale pendant]

A event?

[jagged root]

yes

an event

[vale pendant]

Hmmmm, you can possibly try grabbing the role then checking if the user has that role.

[jagged root]

idk how to do that

could you guide me

[vale pendant]

role = discord.utils.get(message.guild.roles, name="role")

if role in message.author.roles:

            )```

thats the code

its alr defined hm

[vale pendant]

You have to put this in your code.

[jagged root]

true i didnt add : if role in message.author.roles:

yet

cause idk where

[vale pendant]

That doesn't matter yet.

[jagged root]

oh

[vale pendant]

So you want this event to be a certain role only?

[jagged root]

yea

[final iron]

Whats wrong with it?

[hasty iron]

check is not defined

[waxen granite]

how do i define message for messages in a channel?

[jagged root]

how i make so the bot deletes one message on an event

[slate swan]

you mean channel.history?
@waxen granite

[jagged root]

only message that user sent

[jagged root]

.

[slate swan]

message.delete()

[jagged root]

i use that ...

with await and didnt work

[slate swan]

what's the problem with it

[jagged root]

async def test(message):
    role = discord.utils.get(message.guild.roles, name=".")
    if role not in message.author.roles:
      return

    if "LFT" not in message.channel.topic:
        return
    if message.author.bot:
        return
        await message.delete()```

[high flame]

i guess you didn't define message

[jagged root]

and dont work

[slate swan]

just bot.listen

[jagged root]

i did:/

[high flame]

you return

[slate swan]

and the function's name is gonna be the event

[high flame]

you used return

[slate swan]

@bot.command(name="urban")
async def urban(ctx, *msg):
    word = ' '.join(msg)
    api = "http://api.urbandictionary.com/v0/define"

        return await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[jagged root]

confused

[slate swan]

and yeah

[high flame]

do you understand what return do?

[jagged root]

yes

[high flame]

then

[jagged root]

make the command dont work

[slate swan]

[high flame]

why you use it

[jagged root]

lol

o

[high flame]

ugh

[jagged root]

lol

[slate swan]

it leaves the function

[jagged root]

yea

[high flame]

remove the return before messsage.delete()

[jagged root]

thats what i meant

ok

[slate swan]

so message.delete() will be unreachable

bru

[high flame]

it return a value and the function stops

[slate swan]

@high flame :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

hello

[slate swan]

no output?

[slate swan]

wdym

oh

also, this is kinda off the point, but you can do
async def urban(ctx, *, msg)

theres no error message so

oh ok i think i forgot the comma

what did you type in discord?

[hasty iron]

it is on point, doing *args makes it optional

[slate swan]

@slate swan it worked, thanks

[slate swan]

oh

didn't know that

[hasty iron]

!e ```py
def foo(*args):
print(args):

foo()

oops

!e
def foo(*args):
print(args)

foo()

[unkempt canyon]

@hasty iron :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

()

[slate swan]

this was so accidental lmao

[waxen tangle]

anyone got a list of colors u can use for an embed?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Colour

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour

class discord.Colour(value)```
Represents a Discord role colour. This class is similar to a (red, green, blue) [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)").

There is an alias for this called Color.

`x == y` Checks if two colours are equal.

`x != y` Checks if two colours are not equal.

`hash(x)` Return the colour’s hash.

`str(x)` Returns the hex format for the colour.

[slate swan]

and u don't need that word line

fuk why cogs not work

lol

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog

class discord.ext.commands.Cog```
The base class that all cogs must inherit from.

A cog is a collection of commands, listeners, and optional state to help group commands together. More information on them can be found on the [Cogs](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs) page.

When inheriting from this class, the options shown in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta "discord.ext.commands.CogMeta") are equally valid here.

[jagged root]

Delete function didnt work @slate swan could i send you the full code in dms

[slate swan]

send it here

the event

[jagged root]

i dont ppl copy it

you can answer me here

if you want

[slate swan]

people can make that alone

[jagged root]

ok

@bot.listen("on_message")

            await message.delete()```

[jagged root]

[slate swan]

so what exactly is the error?

[jagged root]

no error

it doesnt delete

but doesnt give a error

[slate swan]

does it delete the member's role

[jagged root]

yes

i want so it deletes the user message

when saying yes

[slate swan]

weird

[jagged root]

ik

im confused

too

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you need the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[slate swan]

do you have the permission to do that?

[jagged root]

to do what

[slate swan]

delete messages

[vale pendant]

He doesn’t need permissions.

[jagged root]

only want to delete one message when using the event

only dat lmao

[slate swan]

you need the manage_messages for that

[vale pendant]

If you read it says “Your own messages could he deleted without any proper permissions”

[slate swan]

he doesn't want to delete his own message

[jagged root]

only one message

[vale pendant]

He wants to delete the author message correct?

[jagged root]

purge one message

[slate swan]

yes, and the author is a member

not the bot

[jagged root]

i want to purge one message

only that

[slate swan]

I understand

[jagged root]

kk

[vale pendant]

Hmmm.

[slate swan]

do you have an error handler?

[jagged root]

it doesnt give an error

[slate swan]

answer the question

[jagged root]

No.

i ti think

anyways in the delete code it doesnt specify to delete 1 message

[slate swan]

it would delete the message that was sent

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def ban(self, ctx, member:discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    guild = ctx.guild
    author = ctx.message.author
    if author.guild_permissions.administrator == False:
        embed4=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.red(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(), title="Missing Permissions!", description="You don't have the required permissions to use this command!")
        message1 = await ctx.send(embed=embed4)
        sleeper=5
        await asyncio.sleep(sleeper)
        await message1.delete()
        return
    if member.guild_permissions.administrator and member != None:
        embed=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.red(), title="Administrator", description="This user is an administrator and is not allowed to be banned.")
        message2 = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        sleeper=5
        await asyncio.sleep(sleeper)
        await message2.delete()
        return
    if reason == None:
        embed1=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.red(), title="Reason Required!", description="You must enter a reason to ban this member.")
        message3 = ctx.send(embed=embed1)
        sleeper=5
        await asyncio.sleep(sleeper)
        await message3.delete()
        return
    else:
        guild = ctx.guild
        await member.ban()
        embed2=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.green(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(), title="Member Banned", description=f"Banned: {member.mention}\n Moderator: **{author}** \n Reason: **{reason}**")
        embed3=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.green(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(), title=f"You've been banned from **{guild}**!", description=f"Target: {member.mention}\nModerator: **{author.mention}** \n Reason: **{reason}**")
        message4 = await ctx.send(embed=embed2)
        message5 = await ctx.send("✔ User has been notified.")
        sleeper=5```

[jagged root]

huh

[slate swan]

since you specified the message in the event's parameters

[jagged root]

so what should i do

now

[slate swan]

What did I do wrong here?

[slate swan]

if it sends you a message and deletes the member's "yesrole", it should delete the message that invoked the event too
otherwise it would throw an error, since you don't have an error handler that would ignore it

[jagged root]

i use to get errors but now i dont

in this code

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def ban(self, ctx, member:discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    guild = ctx.guild
    author = ctx.message.author
    if author.guild_permissions.administrator == False:
        embed4=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.red(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(), title="Missing Permissions!", description="You don't have the required permissions to use this command!")
        message1 = await ctx.send(embed=embed4)
        sleeper=5
        await asyncio.sleep(sleeper)
        await message1.delete()
        return
    if member.guild_permissions.administrator and member != None:
        embed=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.red(), title="Administrator", description="This user is an administrator and is not allowed to be banned.")
        message2 = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        sleeper=5
        await asyncio.sleep(sleeper)
        await message2.delete()
        return
    if reason == None:
        embed1=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.red(), title="Reason Required!", description="You must enter a reason to ban this member.")
        message3 = ctx.send(embed=embed1)
        sleeper=5
        await asyncio.sleep(sleeper)
        await message3.delete()
        return
    else:
        guild = ctx.guild
        await member.ban()
        embed2=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.green(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(), title="Member Banned", description=f"Banned: {member.mention}\n Moderator: **{author}** \n Reason: **{reason}**")
        embed3=discord.Embed(color=discord.Colour.green(), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(), title=f"You've been banned from **{guild}**!", description=f"Target: {member.mention}\nModerator: **{author.mention}** \n Reason: **{reason}**")
        message4 = await ctx.send(embed=embed2)
        message5 = await ctx.send("✔ User has been notified.")
        sleeper=5```

do you want to delete the bot's message or the user's message?

[jagged root]

user

or just delete 1 message

both could work

[slate swan]

ctx.message.delete()

[slate swan]

on_message event

    await ctx.message.delete()```

on_message event

wawit

[jagged root]

?

[slate swan]

he did the right thing

he wants to delete the message sent by user after executing the command right ?

[jagged root]

fixed

im dumb

had to move the function one step above

[slate swan]

what

[jagged root]

cause code only worked if it had the role

and i added the function when it was already removed

[slate swan]

i was looking at another code and thought it was yours lmao

[jagged root]

i readed the code twice and noticed

[slate swan]

id say change perms to ban and whats the issue ?

it doesn't actually ban the person

or work

he didn't provide a single error

[slate swan]

nice ig

[slate swan]

send an error

or the output

where

show us where it stopped working

if it has thrown an error

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: member is a required argument that is missing.```

you used the command incorrectly

that's all

[slate swan]

you didnt mention the user ur trying to ban maybe ? i'd say make a error handler and send it so you can notify the user

but I just come to realise

i did

you used @bot.command()

i dont use client

so you're not in a cog

[vale pendant]

Why did you put self?

[slate swan]

ur using @bot command in a cog ?

then why do you have a self arg

i think hes in a cog file

why

since hes using @commands.has_permission

and self

[vale pendant]

If he was in a cog he would use @commands.command

[final iron]

I think he may of copied it off a site like stack overflow

[slate swan]

maybe

[vale pendant]

• why do you have message 1 message 2 and etc.

[slate swan]

that would be the thing causing the error right ,

how about we ask then

[vale pendant]

yes.

message3 = ctx.send(embed=embed1)
        sleeper=5
        await asyncio.sleep(sleeper)
        await message3.delete()
        return``` This is just a pain to look at.

[slate swan]

im not in a cog file

[slate swan]

judging from your code its a bit bad if you copied it from someone then that explains why its not working

remove self

[slate swan]

theres alot to fix

[vale pendant]

you can do await ctx.send(embed=embed, delete_after=3)

[slate swan]

replace @commands.has_perms to @has_permissions(wtv perm=True)

[vale pendant]

you didn't put await in front of ctx.send.

[slate swan]

you said ur not

[vale pendant]

There's alot of errors.
