[steep estuary]

so i want than the starttiem should be equal to endtime

[lament mesa]

thats not how you use cogs

[steep estuary]

starttime = endtime

:/

then?

i m using classes in discord.py first time :/

[lament mesa]

classes are not only in dpy

and you forgot to add the self parameter

[steep estuary]

oo

i should add self parameter in each command in the class?

[slate swan]

yes

that's how classes work

[lament mesa]

[steep estuary]

@bot.command()
    @commands.has_role("Giveaway Handler")
    async def gstart(self, ctx, Channel:discord.TextChannel, endtime):
```like this?

[slate swan]

yes

[steep estuary]

but i didn't faced any problem by that

i only have a problem that is the StopTime is not changing after using global

[noble helm]

yesterday i discovered the wait_for command, but does that one also check for more than one time? cause im making a quiz where dont have just one try

[lament mesa]

and like i said, use a dictionary instead of global variables

[steep estuary]

inside the function or outside?

[slate swan]

As an instance var

Inside your class, with self

[steep estuary]

what i should change here?

[slate swan]

So that you can access and modify it from anywhere in the class

[steep estuary]

just want to change stoptime = endtime

?

[lament mesa]

@steep estuary https://stackoverflow.com/a/19158418

[steep estuary]

:/

whts that?

[lament mesa]

!e ```py
class Foo:
def foo(self):
print("Foo method")

Foo().foo()```

[steep estuary]

what my command is not working now :/

[lament mesa]

You need to initialize the class

[steep estuary]

oo

[unkempt canyon]

@lament mesa :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Foo method

[steep estuary]

self is taking a place when using command

[clever wind]

in discord py, is there a way to global variables for command groups?

[slate swan]

!e

• Remove globals, they hurt
• You can say self is like an instance of your class, where you can access any of the class items from anywhere
  This is how we define classes ```py
  class X:
  def init(self): # init method, we'll initialise our vars here
  self.a = 1
  self.b = 2
  self.c = [3, 4]

Now make a method inside class ```py
    def foo(self): # self is always passed as first parameter
        print(self.a) # I can access `a` inside class
        self.a = 100

You can also access methods into other method, like ```py
def bar(self):
self.foo() # calling other method from the same class
print(self.c)
del self.c[0] # can also modify anything

Making an instance of the class ```py
x = X() # x is called an instance of the class, you can create as many as you want
        # also our __init__ is called here only
x.foo() # calling method of the class
x.bar()
# also
x.a = 99 # modified it outside the class
print(x.a)

This is how classes work, and if you didn't know that, you should learn oop first before dpy

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 1
002 | 100
003 | [3, 4]
004 | 99

[slate swan]

@steep estuary ^

[steep estuary]

hmm

[clever wind]

is there a way where i can make a list with a method, then use that list in other cmds that is the same cmd group?

[slate swan]

same cmd group means? A group command or a cog?

[steep estuary]

why this StopTime is not changing wht should i use instead of global to change it ?

[clever wind]

group cmd

[lament mesa]

did you check the link which i sent

[slate swan]

If they're in a class, does not matter they're normal functions or commands or groups, you can access them

[steep estuary]

yes but wht should i use instead of global

i am not understanding

but that

[slate swan]

You just ignored the whole paragraph I wrote

[lament mesa]

a dictionary

[steep estuary]

i saw that

[lament mesa]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

Just like I defined a list in the class, self.c, similarly define a dict

[steep estuary]

giveaway_config = dict(stop_time=0, giveaway_channel=None, participants={}, giveaway_active=False)

k

[slate swan]

call dict method use json like dictionaries

[steep estuary]

why we should use that cuz dictionaries don't want global to change?

aaaaaaaaaaa nothing happening 😫

[lament mesa]

using dict(x=10, y=20) is more cleaner than {'x': 10, 'y': 20} IMO

that how i can call or use the Stop Time

[noble helm]

does client.wait_for check for more than one message before quitting waiting? because im waiting for a correct answer and not any

[ionic wadi]

It waits for the following message

of the author

Depends on how u made It

[valid galleon]

ok so i added a command to my bot which sends a subreddit post, but the problem is, it takes a while to send the post, as its running in an asynchronous environment. so im going to switch from praw to async praw, but will i have to change any of my code? heres what ive got(part of it is cut, obviously):

        subreddit = reddit.subreddit("memes")

        all_subs = []

        hot = subreddit.top(limit = 50)
        for submission in hot:
            all_subs.append(submission)

        random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)

        name = random_sub.title
        url = random_sub.url

        embed = discord.Embed(title = name)
        embed.set_image(url = url)

        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[severe oar]

Does mongodb blocks discord.py or slow somehow?

[valid galleon]

afaik it doesnt

[valid galleon]

actually nvm, i found docs about it

[honest ermine]

Hi, how can I add a method as a command? I've tried @commands.command() but "ping" isn't recognised

from discord.ext import commands

class LomiBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self, command_prefix, help_command=None, description=None, **options):
        super().__init__(command_prefix, help_command=help_command, description=description, **options)

    async def on_ready(self):
        print("LomiBot online")

    @commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send(f"pong ({self.latency*1000} ms)")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    lomibot = LomiBot(command_prefix="-")
    lomibot.run(MY_TOKEN)

[hasty iron]

if you do that you'll have to call self.add_command inside the __init__

[bitter perch]

Bot classes cannot have commands like that. They were designed to stop it

[honest ermine]

What do you mean by "designed to stop it"? Doing my bot through a class is not the intended way?

[bitter perch]

Adding commands via bot subclass

[honest ermine]

So, If I wanted a class, should I get the bot as an atrribute instead of a subclass?

[hasty iron]

why not add the command after instantiating the Bot subclass

[stiff nexus]

i am getting error here

ems.set_author(name=guild,icon_url=guild.icon)
```the guild has no icon

[honest ermine]

Sorry, I will try that, thanks

[pale turtle]

Try icon_url

!d discord.Guild.icon

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.icon

The guild’s icon.

[pale turtle]

!d discord.Guild.icon_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.icon\_url

icon_url```
Returns the guild’s icon asset.

[stiff nexus]

in 2.0.0a bruh

[honest ermine]

It says discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: ctx is a required argument that is missing.

[hasty iron]

remove self if the function is outside a class

[bitter perch]

Icon should always be available

[hasty iron]

basic oop

[honest ermine]

I get that, but ping is a method, not a function

[hasty iron]

a method of what

vaskel told you to not do it inside the subclass

[honest ermine]

So how should I do it?

I mean, I know how to do this with only functions, but I wanted to do it as a class because I believe is cleaner

[hasty iron]

then use a cog

[honest ermine]

Ok, I will check that, thanks

[kindred zinc]

I have made a command to create a webhook, but it gives me this error

[steep estuary]

anyone help

i got my problem

[kindred zinc]

I converted it to bytes cuz I read this in the documentatio

[magic ore]

That's not how you convert it to bytes

Assets have a read method (a coroutine)

[steep estuary]

this is taking the StopTime Only once it is not taking the changed value of StopTime

[kindred zinc]

I tried that but it gave me a different error

[magic ore]

!d discord.User.avatar_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.avatar\_url

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

If the user does not have a traditional avatar, an asset for the default avatar is returned instead.

This is equivalent to calling [`avatar_url_as()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.User.avatar_url_as "discord.User.avatar_url_as") with the default parameters (i.e. webp/gif detection and a size of 1024).

[kindred zinc]

this was the code I used when I used read()

[magic ore]

This is their avatar as an asset

[steep estuary]

pls someone see this once

[magic ore]

.avatar is a string

lol

[magic ore]

Yes that's how it works

[kindred zinc]

so how do I give my webhook a avatar??

[magic ore]

I told you

[steep estuary]

but i want to change it as per the user change it in command

[magic ore]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

class discord.ext.tasks.Loop```
A background task helper that abstracts the loop and reconnection logic for you.

The main interface to create this is through [`loop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop "discord.ext.tasks.loop").

[magic ore]

I don't remember the method name but you can change the time it loops

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop.change_interval

[steep estuary]

but how i can insert a loop in it

[stiff nexus]

can i make other to not send the message in a thread?

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py

ok

[vale narwhal]

The “TypeError: ‘NoneType’ object is not subscriptable” error is common if you assign the result of a built-in list method like sort(), reverse(), or append() to a variable. This is because these list methods change an existing list in-place. As a result, they return a None value.

#discord-bots message

[kindred zinc]

What I am saying is that I didnt understand what u explained in the message, so I asked to explain it

how should I use that in my create webhook line??

[magic ore]

you're trying to access the avatar attribute of a user/member, which is the hash of their avatar
the avatar_url property of a user/member is the Asset associated with their avatar
Assets have a read method which is a coroutine, which returns the bytes of the image the asset represents

[kindred zinc]

now it shows this

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_webhook

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

Creates a webhook for this channel.

Requires [`manage_webhooks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks "discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks") permissions.

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

Show where you defined admin

[ionic wadi]

async with aiofiles.open(f"{ctx.guild.id}.txt", mode="a") as file:
await file.write(f"{member.id} {ctx.author.id} {reason}\n")

admin = ctx.guild.get_member(admin_id)

[stuck flare]

??

[ionic wadi]

Sharing data between commands is easier in cogs but thats my opinion

[stuck flare]

ohh

[slate swan]

!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.

[stuck flare]

ty

[slate swan]

where is admin_id there

[ionic wadi]

Btw If you ask, I used the alphascript tutorial

[stuck flare]

should i learn python oop before making a bot?

[ionic wadi]

ctx.author.id

[ionic wadi]

you could, Its advised

[slate swan]

Okay, so, copied or?

[ionic wadi]

Basically yes 😂

[stuck flare]

mkay

[ionic wadi]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/enobisadot.py this is the code

[slate swan]

And that isn't good

[willow vine]

how do i get a message using message id

[ionic wadi]

I know sorry lol

[willow vine]

it's not a command

ctx is not passed

it's under @commands.Cog.listener()

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

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

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

This can only be used by bot accounts.

[willow vine]

so if i do await fetch_message(id)

i'll get it?

[slate swan]

yea

[ionic wadi]

Most likely yes

[slate swan]

but

it's a method of textchannel

@willow vine

discord TextChannel that is

I got to go hopefully you get it if not consider OOP!

[willow vine]

so i need to do

channel.fetch_message(id)?

[stuck flare]

check pins

[slate swan]

i need help, i cant clear messages with this code-
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

@client.command()
async def clear(ctx, amount = int):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit = amount)

Please tell me how to fix it?

[stuck flare]

#python-discussion i asked u something

[polar coyote]

where did you define client?

[stuck flare]

import asyncio

from discord.ext.commands import Bot

Client = Bot('!')


@Client.command(pass_context = True)

    async for x in Client.logs_from(ctx.message.channel, limit = number):
        mgs.append(x)
    await Client.delete_messages(mgs)

Client.run(Token)```

[slate swan]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', case_insensitive=True,)

how do i set a prefix with a command

[polar coyote]

ohk

[slate swan]

gud

[stuck flare]

maybe watch yt?

[slate swan]

just don't use case_insensitive

theres no case in it

i think

[stuck flare]

custom_prefixes = {}
#You'd need to have some sort of persistance here,
#possibly using the json module to save and load
#or a database
default_prefixes = ['.']

async def determine_prefix(bot, message):
    guild = message.guild
    #Only allow custom prefixs in guild
    if guild:
        return custom_prefixes.get(guild.id, default_prefixes)
    else:
        return default_prefixes

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = determine_prefix, ...)
bot.run()

@commands.command()
@commands.guild_only()
async def setprefix(self, ctx, *, prefixes=""):
    #You'd obviously need to do some error checking here
    #All I'm doing here is if prefixes is not passed then
    #set it to default 
    custom_prefixes[ctx.guild.id] = prefixes.split() or default_prefixes
    await ctx.send("Prefixes set!")```

[flat solstice]

I don't know what's wrong with this command but i'm gettig a syntax error on the asyncpy @commands.command(description = "Lets moderators mass ban members.", alaises = ["multiban", "mass-ban", "multi-ban"], usage = "massban [delete members message days] [reason] [members]") @commands.bot_has_permissions(manage_messages = True) @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages = True) async def massban(self, ctx, Optional[days : int] = 0, reason : str, *, targets: commands.Greedy[discord.Member]): with ctx.typing(): users = 0 for user in targets: users += 1 await ban(user, reason = reason, delete_message_days = days) await ctx.send(f"len(users) were just banned.", delete_after = 5)

[slate swan]

i need one more help

[polar coyote]

i used a JSON file to store all the prefixes

[stuck flare]

go ahead

[hasty iron]

json bad

[stuck flare]

ik

[polar coyote]

still better than dicts

[slate swan]

how'd you type the code so fast xd

[hasty iron]

json is basically a dict if you use it as one

[polar coyote]

in some ways

[slate swan]

when someone says the problem 10 sec ago

i said it already XD

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

I think he haven't understand.

[waxen granite]

How do i delete recent msgs in all channels by a member?

[hasty iron]

old code

[slate swan]

thats the case.

[hasty iron]

wont work

[slate swan]

then wait

[waxen granite]

?

[slate swan]

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

@client.command(name='clear', help='this command will clear msgs')
async def clear(ctx, amount = 5):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)```

[hasty iron]

soft-ban them

[waxen granite]

Hm

[hasty iron]

or you could

iterate through every channel and delete

[slate swan]

oh

[hasty iron]

TextChannel.purge has a check kwarg

[slate swan]

yea

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    await message.delete()```

[waxen granite]

Well i am trying to ban/softban a member who sends msgs in almost all channels in under 10 seconds.

[slate swan]

Deletw ownpy #this code will send "HI" for 3 seconds when the user says "HI" #discord.py rewrite #python 3+ include time @bot.event async def on_message(message): #Only continue if the message is "HI" if not message.content == "HI": return #Send HI back, and set it to a var BotMessage = await ctx.send("HI") #wait 3 seconds time.sleep(3) #delete the bot's msg BotMessage.delete()

[waxen granite]

There's a lot of fake discord nitro activity now a days

[slate swan]

True

[polar coyote]

yea

[hasty iron]

time.sleep is blocking and that will raise a NameError

stop copying code and pasting it here

there are 2 NameErrors infact

[slate swan]

anyone nows how to change the profile picture of a bot with a command ?

[hasty iron]

!d discord.ClientUser.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ClientUser.edit

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

Edits the current profile of the client.

If a bot account is used then a password field is optional, otherwise it is required.

Warning

The user account-only fields are deprecated...

[polar coyote]

i dont think you can do that

[slate swan]

Writing instant code is not possible!

[slate swan]

not working :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[slate swan]

Agreed!

[hasty iron]

you can

[slate swan]

how ?

i was searching like

[hasty iron]

this

[slate swan]

2 hours x)

[polar coyote]

change the pfp of the bot through the command?

[hasty iron]

[hasty iron]

yes

[stuck flare]

@slate swan py with open('image.png', 'rb') as image: await client.user.edit(avatar=image)

Hmm

[slate swan]

I don't have much time. Understand.

[hasty iron]

atleast give corrent examples or whatever you're sending

[slate swan]

I'll try

[slate swan]

tthx man

[stuck flare]

yw

[slate swan]

@stuck flare clear code you gave me is not working

[hasty iron]

you can also get an image from the internet by sending a GET request to its url using aiohttp and then calling await response.read() which returns a bytes object

[willow vine]

guys how to get message using message id without passing channel

[slate swan]

@Client.command(pass_context = True)
async def clear(ctx, number):
    mgs = [] #Empty list to put all the messages in the log
    number = int(number) #Converting the amount of messages to delete to an integer
    async for x in Client.logs_from(ctx.message.channel, limit = number):
        mgs.append(x)
    await Client.delete_messages(mgs)

Client.run(Token)```
This is not working :c

[polar coyote]

with open('image.png', 'rb') as image:
    await client.user.edit(avatar=image.read())
```try this

[hasty iron]

yes because its old code

[polar coyote]

you need the channel ID to find the message

[hasty iron]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
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.

Examples

Usage...

[hasty iron]

and you dont even need that

[willow vine]

is there a way without having channel id

[hasty iron]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge does what you want for you

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=None, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=False, bulk=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission to delete messages even if they are your own (unless you are a user account). The [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

Internally, this employs a different number of strategies depending on the conditions met such as if a bulk delete is possible or if the account is a user bot or not.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages

[willow vine]

all i want is that particular message

using it's id

[polar coyote]

No (ig)

[hasty iron]

hm

[willow vine]

how do i store a message in a text file

i mean the whole object

or any file

[hasty iron]

i believe there is, but you'll have to use internals

[willow vine]

do you know how to do it

[hasty iron]

let me see

[slate swan]

ant if i have to make limit to int?

that user will put

[hasty iron]

but i dont recommend using it

[willow vine]

oh why not

[hasty iron]

because you're using internals

[willow vine]

hm okay let me try

what does that mean

[hasty iron]

and also it grabs from cache

it can return None

[willow vine]

I'm kinda noob ;-;

[hasty iron]

what means what

internals?

[willow vine]

using internals

and getting data from cache

[hasty iron]

using private variables you're not supposed to use

[willow vine]

oh why aren't you supposed to

[hasty iron]

because they're private..?

[willow vine]

oh

[hasty iron]

i mean thats the convention

[willow vine]

hmm okay

[hasty iron]

if an attribute starts with _ that means its private

[willow vine]

is there a way i can store a message in a file

then

[hasty iron]

why in a file

use a database

[willow vine]

like what i basically want is, if i unload a cog, the variable will be lost, so the msg variable is gone

oh

yeah idk how to use a database yet

and store objects in it

[hasty iron]

learn how to then

[willow vine]

which database should i use

mysql?

[hasty iron]

most people recommend postgresql for sql db and for no sql its mongodb

[slate swan]

didnt work

[slate swan]

That's Client.cached_messages only..? And also limited

[hasty iron]

oh wait forgot that existed

[trim kayak]

Hi. Does anyone know what the difference between nextcord and pycord? 🧐
For the development of a totally new bot, which one of the these are recommended?

[maiden fable]

Well I haven't used either so can't suggest

[slate swan]

solved?

[trim kayak]

From what I've seen, both forks haven't had anything different from discord.py.
My question is more about the community around it, it seems that both try to solve the same problem

[slate swan]

can someone tell the code for deleting the messages on the channel on which user has sent the clear command

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[unkempt canyon]

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages

[flat solstice]

think so

[slate swan]

if i have to make limit customizable, like if i want to delete 38 msg but that command is doing 100 msg delete

[slate swan]

because you are telling it to delete 100 messages.

limit can be made a command argument, and do limit=limit

where limit will be the int(amount) the user passes in

does it work?

yes

wait i will try

aight

its showing error

and its not workin

limit is not accessed as pylance

its both

days = days or 0 for this, im not sure if this would work, since you did not say days can be none, so if you don't give days i assume it would raise missing required argument, or bad argument

not the issue but just saying

users += 1 to get the list of members that the user mentioned you can also use len() on that argument
len(targets)

[flat solstice]

oh yeah

[spring flax]

and you want it to reply to each member the user mentioned?

if he gave 5 members it would reply 5 times

[slate swan]

yeah and does everyone khnow how like change the name of the bot with a command like +set name

For mass ban I wouldn't really suggest using anything after the commands.Greedy[]

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.edit

uhm wait forgot what it is

[flat solstice]

i want it to reply to the user who used the command yes. so if 5 ppl were mentioned it would reply 6 times (5 for each member and once for the len of targets)

[slate swan]

i'm a new beginner i need a code like to examinate it like what i do

[spring flax]

!d discord.Member.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.edit

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

Edits the member’s data.

Depending on the parameter passed, this requires different permissions listed below...

[spring flax]

use that but instead of member, use ctx.me to edit the bot

[spring flax]

no errors for this?

[flat solstice]

Command: ,massban 791394319075377243 757750333144563724 1 Testing
Bot response: 0 members were just banned with reason 757750333144563724.

        await ctx.reply(f"{len(targets)} members were just banned with reason {reason}.")```and it gave no errors. I tried making it ```py
async def massban(self, ctx, targets: commands.Greedy[discord.Member], days : Optional[int] = 0, reason : str):```but it gave me a syntax error (yes i'm importing optional and it works elsewhere i the cog

[slate swan]

i didnt khnow how to do it in a code 😦

[spring flax]

olay yeah the ids are being taken as the wrong argument

try mentioning the user

[slate swan]

@flat solstice

[slate swan]

It may raise bad arguement expected an int.

days:int

[flat solstice]

okay mentions worked

[spring flax]

if it raises bad argument how would it give the message of how many users were banned?

[stiff nexus]

await ctx.send(f"{'{emoji.done} Meme is running' if self.meme.is_running() is True else '{emoji.error} Meme is not running'}")
```why its sending `{emoji.done}` instead of emojis

[slate swan]

If it's commands.Greedy set as discord.Member mentioning as many users as you want will always work but it's not really efficient to mention all the users let's say in the case of a raid

And it'll just take long

[slate swan]

why have if x is True

just if x should work

[stiff nexus]

i edited it

[slate swan]

it's still kind of what it was before

[flat solstice]

should I make it wait for a second or third msg. one which gives the reason and/or the amount of days to delete?

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def ban(ctx, members: commands.Greedy[discord.Member], delete_days: typing.Optional[int] = 0, *, reason: str):
    
    success = 0
    for member in members:
      await member.ban(delete_message_days=delete_days, reason=reason)
      success += 1

    await ctx.send(f"Banned the {success} members")

#error handler
``` I'm just thinking this may work a little better maybe tbh? Consider trying it and comparing to what you have ( edit as you want )

[spring flax]

bare try and except with pass

[slate swan]

edit as you want

[flat solstice]

i'll try that but I was getting a syntax error when i tried making delete_days into a typing.optional arg altho i'm not sure why so I'll try it again. i'll let you know

[slate swan]

Theres anyone that can help me with a addrole command pls i'm trying it dont want to work

[spring flax]

!d discord.Member.add_role

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

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

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

[slate swan]

I told you discord.Role type hint

[compact glen]

don't ban me for this, but someone may need it

[spring flax]

[slate swan]

Bruh

Hmm..

[stiff nexus]

in title can i use custom emojis?

[reef shell]

yes

if you're talking about embeds, then yes

[slate swan]

I wonder how they didn't get muted for excessive emojis

I'm dumb

[reef shell]

i can't see them i don't have unicode royal pass

[slate swan]

can anyone help me please? idk y but my bot calls the api 2 times at one command, whats wrong?

[reef shell]

check if your bot is running on multiple scripts or not

[slate swan]

thats all

what he meant was if ur bot is running multiple times

if not then show code

i dont think this is possible in my hosting, ill restart and check tho

should i send all of my code?

i restarted it and it happend again

[pale turtle]

Regenerate your token

[slate swan]

ok, ill try

[valid niche]

you're using a deprecated function, these functions are mainly userbot only functions

Is there a wait for message function or corotine? I want to add in a criteria to a command that my bot waits for a reaction from the user and then if a reaction is clicked then the bot waits for the user to type a msg and then I can make use of the msg

[dawn wasp]

Hey guys I'm trying to build a bot that pays music from a youtube url
I'm looking now into making playlist feature
did anyone already v done this ?

[slate swan]

!rtfm commands.ext.Bot.wait_for

god

i meant

ugh

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[slate swan]

finally

[flat solstice]

thanks for this

[slate swan]

[kindred epoch]

playing songs from yt urls is against tos

[pale turtle]

||!ytdl||

[slate swan]

is discord really forcing everyone to move to slash commands if so im done being a developer and i know alot alot of people who agree

[flat solstice]

well you don't need to move to slash if you have a small bot bc you don't need to verify to get the message intent

[slate swan]

if ur bot is not verified u can stick with the old commands system

otherwise you either have a good reason for discord to give you the intent (saying that u want it bc old commands were better won't work), either ur forced to use slash

My bot is growing and growing and im kinda scared about it should i start moving my commands to slash

yes

[dawn wasp]

just for testing

[slate swan]

unless u plan to never verify it and cap your bot's total guilds to 100

Yes thats how groovy got shut down

[kindred epoch]

we cant help with that even tho its just for testing

[slate swan]

pretty sure it's also against yt's tos

[slate swan]

well looks like its time to start moving to slash commands (yuck)

[kindred epoch]

ye

[slate swan]

ikr 😔

[flat solstice]

is there a way to set a string input as optional and to give it a default value? is it just string : typing.Optional[str] = "Deafault String or would I need to do something else

[slate swan]

string: str = "default string"

no need for typing.Optional

[kindred epoch]

ye

[flat solstice]

okay thanks

[kindred epoch]

if you add = "" it automatically converts to optional

[slate swan]

or just = None

[kindred epoch]

ye

[flat solstice]

well I've done this but it's not highlighting the str as green in the syntax but wrapping it in [] does

[slate swan]

yall know that d.py is no longer geting updates right

[slate swan]

it doesn't need to be green if it works

[slate swan]

yes

I moved everything to pycord

disnake >

disnake?

yes

[pale turtle]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.1.1

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

disnake is another very good fork of dpy which is maintained by the creator of dislash

[pale turtle]

Oh man I hated dislash

[slate swan]

in my opinion better than pycord

[slate swan]

never used dislash so can't confirm

I see yea i moved to pycord because its d.py but forked and maintained

same with disnake

it has the exact same dpy 2.0 syntax with slash

[pale turtle]

The problem is it is import disnake and not import discord seems weird ngl

[kindred epoch]

i mean, its ok, im gonna use it to convert to slash commands, but if disnake has slash commands then ill use that

[slate swan]

it does

Pycord is more popular thats how i found it

[kindred epoch]

if it does then theres no meaning of having dislash imo

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

ik but eh

Seeinjg discord.py go is kinda sad now

[pale turtle]

Is there anything new cool in disnake that pycord doesn't have?

[kindred epoch]

fr

[slate swan]

dislash is still maintained probably bc there's some ppl still using it

[kindred epoch]

what does pycord have lmao

[slate swan]

idk all the new features of pycord lmao

[slate swan]

mhm 😔

[pale turtle]

Nothing amazing lol

[slate swan]

Anyways im to hooked to d.py so i use pycord almost if not nothing has changed

[kindred epoch]

does it have the apps thing?

[slate swan]

pycord does

[pale turtle]

I think it does have it yeah

[kindred epoch]

hm

ok

[slate swan]

disnake has that too

PyCord is most popular with over 300 stars and a lot of devs

i still hope for disnake to be at the top 😫

kinda like the name more too tbh

[kindred epoch]

makes sense

cuz a yt'r owns it

[slate swan]

Yes but atleast i know that they wont just drop the project for no reason like danny did

pycord didn't even bother to change the pypi description

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[kindred epoch]

well, danny has been working on it for 6 years and that discord is pushing to many updates on the api so imo its not his fault

[slate swan]

only in the repo it's changed

[slate swan]

True dat im just saying with the fall of the biggest and best wrapper for discord bots there comes all of the crappy wrappers

Im looking to use the most popular wrapper because that will be the one to get the fastest support with in this server

[kindred epoch]

yea

[slate swan]

Just like d.py this server pretty much dident know anything but d.py

other people dident even have a clue there was other wrappers

And now no one really know's which wrapper to use

Im waiting to see what carl-bot uses betting PyCord / Hi

idk if i'm just dumb but tf is with these docs on @bot.slash_command for pycord

what even are the kwargs

theres many

and where do i see them

just like if you were making a d.py command

but it doesn't work with commands.slash_command?

meaning that they won't work in cogs

🤦‍♂️

[hasty iron]

classic forks

[slate swan]

PyCord does not support cogs atm

[hasty iron]

they’re all pretty much bad

[slate swan]

ikr

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

Would you like to explain which one is good to use then?

[hasty iron]

discord.py itself is still usable

and will be

[slate swan]

^ or disnake

D.py will be gone in a month

Once discord pushes major api changes d.py is gone

[hasty iron]

a month?

what?

[slate swan]

Danny stoped maintaining it

there's still some new stuff that discord wants to add and since dpy stopped development it won't have those things

[hasty iron]

ok so what

its still usable

[slate swan]

for now

Im not making a bot growing it than a week later having to recode the whole bot using a new wrapper

not fun

[hasty iron]

that’s when you come in and update the wrapper yourself

[slate swan]

like everyone could, some in this help channel don't even know basic python

[hasty iron]

learning is always an option

[slate swan]

Not fun either

Thats why PyCord And Disnake are here

[hasty iron]

yeah nothing is fun

[slate swan]

^

hi

can anyone help me

?

[hasty iron]

ask, do not ask to ask

[slate swan]

ok

anyways i will be using pycord

look

because less than a week tell pycord gets cogs

[slate swan]

Kek account generator bot 🤣

yes

i host bot and work

but if host replit and glitch or another hosting

have proplem

[hasty iron]

then dont use them

[slate swan]

Becuase folder named Accounts is missing

wait

Same with fortnite.txt

Jesus its in the error

is not fortnite

is all files

in folder

accounts

bangs head I give up

[night crater]

lets just take a chill out quickly

[hasty iron]

try relative path

.\path\to\file

[night crater]

this is a linux runtime

you sou want to use forward slashes

secondly

this bot looks very sketchy in terms of what it seems to do

[slate swan]

yes

[hasty iron]

you even agree to it?

ok dud

[slate swan]

how to do

?

[night crater]

what?

[slate swan]

working

in host

[night crater]

well firstly

what is this bot for

[night crater]

If your bot is a default command -> response, you should use a standard http framework and slash commands

Unless your bot absolutely needs the message intent you wont be getting the intent

[slate swan]

?

and

how can i fix it?

[night crater]

that wasnt aimed at you @slate swan

what is this bot for @slate swan

[slate swan]

acc gen

@night crater

[night crater]

okay, so, no

we're not going to help with that

because that breaks all sorts of Terms of service

both of Discord's and most likely the service you're creating account for

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[slate swan]

generate numbers

[night crater]

that doesnt matter

[slate swan]

and

is not acc gen

[hasty iron]

???

[slate swan]

is number

[hasty iron]

but you just said it is

[pliant gulch]

[slate swan]

is with commands

[night crater]

you just said it was

[slate swan]

wait i send code

[night crater]

secondly, just because it's random numbers

doesnt make it not tos breaking

Discord will ban you if you generate nitro links via random numbers or not

and this policy goes for any account generation

so no, we're not going to help with that.

[slate swan]

bruh

[full lily]

the funny thing is, that generating random account keys never ever works

[flat solstice]

Can someone help me understand how I should be doing my wait_for's? I have this command massban2 which takes a greedy input of discord members that need to get banned. I want to make the bot then ask me to add a reaction for if I want to add a ban reason. If I click ✅ then I want it to wait for a msg and save that msg to a variable. If I were to react with a ❎ tho then I want the bot to use a default reason. How close am I to getting this working and where might I be going wrong? ```py
@commands.command(description = "Lets moderators mass ban members.", usage = "massban [delete members message days] [reason] [members]")
@commands.bot_has_permissions(ban_members = True)
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def massban2(self, ctx, targets: commands.Greedy[discord.Member]):
with ctx.channel.typing():
confirmation = await ctx.reply(f"You are about to ban {len(targets)} members. Do you want to add a reason for this ban? If yes react with ✅ and if no react with ❎")
await confirmation.add_reaction("✅")
await confirmation.add_reaction("❎")

        def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == "❎" or "✅"

        try:
            reaction, user = await self.bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout = 60.0, check = check)
            reason = self.bot.wait_for()
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            confirmation.edit("The time to add a reaction timed out so the defualt reason of `Unspecified` will be used")
            reason = "Unspecified"
        else:
            reason = await client.wait_for('message')

        for user in targets:
            await user.ban(reason = reason, delete_message_days = 0

        await ctx.reply(f"{len(targets)} members were just banned with reason {reason}.")```

[full lily]

return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == "❎" or "✅"
You have a problem with or here

you must have a full condition on both sides of the logical operator

[slate swan]

Also ```py
reason = self.bot.wait_for()

[full lily]

... str(reaction.emoji) == ":negative_squared_cross_mark:" or str(reaction.emoji) == ":white_check_mark:"

[slate swan]

Umm No..

[full lily]

O.o

[slate swan]

It's just discord markdown to write emojis like that, comparing unicodes will work fine

[flat solstice]

would it be better to do a if statement than this function for the check?

[full lily]

oh it did that by itself

no, leave the check

[slate swan]

Make it a set and check if the emoji is in or not ```py
str(reaction.emoji) in {"❎", "✅"}

!e ```py
x = 1
print(bool(x == 2 or 3))

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[slate swan]

Should not be true, but it is ^

[flat solstice]

okay how's this looking?```py
@commands.command(description = "Lets moderators mass ban members.", usage = "massban [delete members message days] [reason] [members]")
@commands.bot_has_permissions(ban_members = True)
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def massban2(self, ctx, targets: commands.Greedy[discord.Member], delete_days: Optional[int] = 0):
with ctx.channel.typing():
#reason = reason or "Unspecified"
confirmation = await ctx.reply(f"You are about to ban {len(targets)} members. Do you want to add a reason for this ban? If yes react with ✅ and if no react with ❎")
await confirmation.add_reaction("✅")
await confirmation.add_reaction("❎")

        def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) in {"❎", "✅"}

        try:
            reaction, user = await self.bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout = 60.0, check = check)
            reason = await self.bot.wait_for('message')
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            confirmation.edit("The time to add a reaction timed out so the defualt reason of `Unspecified` will be used")
            reason = "Unspecified"

        for user in targets:
            await user.ban(reason = reason, delete_message_days = delete_days)
        await ctx.reply(f"{len(targets)} members were just banned with reason {reason}.")```Is this actually saying that if the reaction is ✅ then wait for the user msg but if it's ❎ then set a default value? or do I still need to do that

[kindred epoch]

you still need to do that

you aren't checking which reaction they reacted to

so use if statements to check it

[slate swan]

Try it and see
... reason = await self.bot.wait_for('message') reason will be a Message object not a string, await ctx.reply(f"{len(targets)} members were just banned with reason {reason}.")

Does anyone khnow a code that massiverole evryone

[kindred epoch]

so do reason.content instead of reason

[slate swan]

[kindred epoch]

wdym by "massiverole"

give a specific role to everyone in the server?

[slate swan]

Like i'm tired of trying i want to make a command that gives a role a specific role to everyone

"gives a role a specific role to everyone"..?

[kindred epoch]

show what you have

[kindred epoch]

lol

[slate swan]

Like

[flat solstice]

could I not do reason = await self.bot.wait_for('message.content ')? not sure if i'm gonna need this reason as a msg object again altho I might chnage that in future

[kindred epoch]

nah, wait_for takes events

[slate swan]

It gives Everyone the role mentioned by the user

wait_for accepts events, like on_message, on_reaction_add and more, but just without on_

[kindred epoch]

ik but what have you tried so far, send the code

[flat solstice]

ah okay

[slate swan]

I searched but i didnt find like i need some syntax ton khnow how to do it (i dont have the code right khnow lol)

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

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

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

[slate swan]

I'm new at python bot coding

[slate swan]

Thx

[kindred epoch]

loop over all the members in the guild and give the role to it using what @slate swan linked

remove the bots and owners from it

[slate swan]

loop over all the members in the guild

[kindred epoch]

any other way? i can only think of that rn lmao

[slate swan]

ratelimit headers coming

[kindred epoch]

oh yea

so its probably a bad idea

[slate swan]

[kindred epoch]

thats why give the role to the member when they join the guild

[slate swan]

Yeah depends tbh, you can sleep the command every few seconds and use max_concurrency to prevent rate limits

But still not a good idea with a few thousand members

Another question can we like by a chance change the prefix of a bot with a command and without a database

without a database.. maybe

Because i was searching didnt find how to do it

All the tutorials persons said you need a database

you need some kind of storage to save the prefixes, and database is the only option. don't think about json

We can do a database in our pc or i need to buy a vps or anything else

If you can keep your pc turn on 24/7, sure

[flat solstice]

Okay this is what I have so far. I decided to also make a input for the amount of days of messages to delete. Have I got any obvious (or less obvious) mistakes? https://sourceb.in/rnsjT6mp3w

[broken turtle]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_roles = True)
async def mute(ctx, user : discord.Member,*,reason= "No reason provided idot"):
    roleobject = discord.utils.get(ctx.message.guild.roles, id=870577969477857289)
    await user.add_roles(roleobject)
    await user.send("You have been muted in **Aurora  | Social • Icons • Anime** because:"+reason)
    await ctx.send(f":white_check_mark: {user} was muted")

i can nopt for the life of me figure out how to code a timed mute. but this is what i have so far

[flat solstice]

is it giving you any errors?

[lone lichen]

U could save unmute datetime in db, then make a task to check if current date is later than members unmute date, and if it us, unmute him

That way it works even if bot goes offline for a but

Bit

The problem w it is that it wont unmute on exact unmute date, it will have a bit of delay

[flat solstice]

also would could just use py await user.send("You have been muted in **{ctx.guild}** because:"+reason)orpy await user.send(f"You have been muted in **{ctx.guild}** because: {reason}")

[broken turtle]

i want to avoid a db though

[lone lichen]

U could use json then

[broken turtle]

thats what im thinking

[wicked atlas]

Make it an actual f-string, and put reason into it too

[lone lichen]

Or just asyncio.sleep but tgat would notvwork with longer periods of time

Best option is w db

Or json

[wicked atlas]

Don't use json files for databases
#discord-bots message

[flat solstice]

done

[lone lichen]

Yes but for his use case u could use it

[last moss]

https://gyazo.com/40219edca8f741e668efd968429bdea0

Why am I getting this error?

[lone lichen]

[lone lichen]

Whats helper

[last moss]

a member object

[lone lichen]

Remove .dm_channel

Just member.send

It will dm them

[last moss]

member has no attribute send

oh

[last moss]

nm it does

[lone lichen]

? U sure

[last moss]

it does

[lone lichen]

Can u just send the part that is giving u error in codeblock

[lone lichen]

Try it

[last moss]

same thing happens

[lone lichen]

Send error in codeblock

[wicked atlas]

edit takes only kwargs. If you want to edit the content of the message, use the content kwarg

[lone lichen]

I’ m on mobile, It’ s hard to see there

well the error handler thinks it's thispy confirmation.edit(f"You are about to ban {len(targets)} members. Do you want to select how mnay days of the members messages get deleted? If **yes** react with ✅ and if **no** react with ❎")

[lone lichen]

Make the strink keyword argument

[flat solstice]

so confirmation.edit(content = "My str"

[wicked atlas]

👍

[lone lichen]

content=if you are boutta ban…

[lone lichen]

Send help.py line 323

[last moss]

323?

why

[flat solstice]

Well my codes too long to send here so you can find it here: https://sourceb.in/2mfsV5IOdS. I'm having an issue where the bot is listening to my input for the reason but is not prompting me to input the num of days i'd like to delete and I'm not sure why

[lyric moat]

why is it doing this?

code

@client.command()
async def poll(ctx, *, question=None):
    if question == None:
        await ctx.send("Please write a poll!")
 
    icon_url = ctx.author.avatar_url 
 
    pollEmbed = discord.Embed(title = "New Poll!", description = f"{question}")
 
    pollEmbed.set_footer(text = f"Poll given by {ctx.author}", icon_url = ctx.author.avatar_url)
 
    pollEmbed.timestamp = ctx.message.created_at 
 
    await ctx.message.delete()
 
    poll_msg = await ctx.send(embed = pollEmbed)
 
    await poll_msg.add_reaction("⬆️")
    await poll_msg.add_reaction("⬇️")```

[glacial echo]

how dynamic is those fancy looking embeds with built in buttons? would it be possible to use them to make games with a join system for each round?

[slate swan]

Hello how do make the bot say a message instead of this error

I've tried this python elif isinstance (voiceChannel is None): await ctx.send("You not in vc kid") return and many others but they didn't work

[patent lark]

you should return if question == None

return await ctx.send("Please write a poll")

[slate swan]

btw i'm not using anything against discord tos, just a program that plays local files

[lyric moat]

Thanks

[patent lark]

👍

[slate swan]

@patent lark can u help

@patent lark

nvm i guess ill just make a help channel

[hybrid fjord]

can someone link me the doc for the channel argument thing
e.g. async def test(ctx, channel:discord.Channel):

[lofty heron]

hi i've implemented a cooldown for my bot but i need it to send a message if CommandOnCooldown is triggered

async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
          embed = discord.Embed(
              title="error",
              description="run again in {round(error.retry_after, 1)} seconds",
              color=0xE02B2B
          )
          await ctx.send(embed=embed)

is this good?

[graceful gulch]

does anyone have any idea as to why bot.user returns None?

[lone lichen]

Did u come here w code asking if it will work b4 running it…

[lofty heron]

it doesn't work lol

returns this

instead of sending the embed

hold on lemme add the commas

[lone lichen]

Which line of code makes it return this

[lofty heron]

this

[lone lichen]

Are u using logging library?

[lofty heron]

um no

[lone lichen]

Then what prints that out in console

[lofty heron]

idk

[lone lichen]

Run the debugger

[lofty heron]

ok

[lone lichen]

Set a breakpoint in the command that causes this error

[graceful gulch]

guess i can just use bot.waituntilready

[lofty heron]

uh

[boreal osprey]

man i love discord.py :(

[lone lichen]

I think u tryna run 2 flask servers on same port

[lone lichen]

Did u load the cog

In which the command is

[lofty heron]

hmm

[boreal osprey]

i don't got a cog

[lofty heron]

oh.

[lone lichen]

Show command

[errant snow]

discord.py

[lofty heron]

lol

[boreal osprey]

@client.event
    async def on_message_delete(message):
        client.sniped_messages[message.guild.id] = (message.content, message.author, message.channel.name, message.created_at)

    @client.command()
    async def snipe(ctx):
        try:

            contents, author, channel_name, time = client.sniped_messages[ctx.guild.id]
        except:
            await ctx.channel.send("No message was deleted!")
            return
         
        embed = discord.Embed(description=contents, color = discord.Colour.purple(), timestamp=time)
        embed.set_author(name=f'{author.name}', icon_url=author.avatar_url)
        embed.set_footer(text="caught in 4k")

        await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed) 

client.sniped_messages = {}

[lone lichen]

Did u put snipe command inside on_message_delete?

[boreal osprey]

i'm confused on what you are asking

[lone lichen]

Send ss of code

Not codeblock

Just those 2 functions

[boreal osprey]

this is at the top

[lone lichen]

Ok but I want snipe function

And on message delete

In one ss

[boreal osprey]

and this is the code

[boreal osprey]

they are in 2 seperate places

what i mean by my function at the top

[lone lichen]

Try commenting out the event and see if u get same error

[boreal osprey]

doing the command you mean?

[lone lichen]

Yes

[boreal osprey]

k lemme get to my test server

[lone lichen]

It may be that event fucked a little w ur commands

[slate swan]

Does anyone khnow how to blacklist a member from the multiple servers that the bots are in

[boreal osprey]

k i still get the same error

[slate swan]

what did you do with ur client variable there

[lone lichen]

Wym blacklist

[slate swan]

delete the
client = discord.Client()
first

[boreal osprey]

arn't vars supposed to be at the top

[lone lichen]

Ohhhh

Mf u need bot = commands.Bot()

Not discord.cliient

[slate swan]

you still reassign it next line, and it would still be completely wrong

[slate swan]

without the mf

[boreal osprey]

ye i got bot = commands.Bot()

[slate swan]

no you don't

[lone lichen]

Where?

[slate swan]

lul

[boreal osprey]

i have it as client

client = commands.Bot()

[lone lichen]

Remove client = discord.Client bs, u dont need it

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="your_prefix", help_command=None)

[patent lark]

use bot

[slate swan]

wrong

[lone lichen]

Bot = cmds.bot

Bame it bot

Not client

[patent lark]

its not wrong essentially, but using the bot as the variable is better practice since discord.Client() is a thing.

[lone lichen]

^

[boreal osprey]

amjsdbajkefbnaselfbaskfgaseg

[lone lichen]

Lmfao

[boreal osprey]

great now i gotta replace everything from client into bot

lmfao

[slate swan]

there's supposed to be a replace everything thingy in your IDE...

[lone lichen]

Naming is one of most important things in coding, make sure u get it right at the start or u gonna have to fuck w it later

[boreal osprey]

ive always had it as client

not bot

[slate swan]

youtube tutorials

[lone lichen]

Fr

Dude in yt tutorial I watched had client too

[boreal osprey]

alot of this server uses client

[lone lichen]

But bot is correct

[slate swan]

the thing is, client is not made for command usages

[boreal osprey]

hmm

so i replace with bot

[lone lichen]

Yea

[boreal osprey]

how to i replace everything that was client into bot

[lone lichen]

What ide u using?

[slate swan]

VS Code on top

[boreal osprey]

vsc

[lone lichen]

Idk shortcut for that one

[slate swan]

select a client in your code, click on replace every o... something and type bot

[lone lichen]

It’ s shift + f6 in pycharm

[slate swan]

lemme check

[vapid lotus]

man

[slate swan]

you select something

[vapid lotus]

he locked repo

so sad

so pain

[slate swan]

right click
click on change all occurrences

and type in bot

[lone lichen]

U got the code tho

[vapid lotus]

yeah but he not updating

[boreal osprey]

ok yay

[lone lichen]

Yea, if something breaks u gotta update urself

[boreal osprey]

it changed it

[lone lichen]

Now run

And show error

[graceful gulch]

    asyncio.run(bot.wait_until_ready())

now i get this error when using bot.wait_until_ready() (I am not too well versed in asycnio)

[boreal osprey]

still get the same error with Command "snipe" not found

[slate swan]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53724665/using-queues-results-in-asyncio-exception-got-future-future-pending-attached

didn't check it out, but this was the first thing that I found

and it had a reply with a tick

complicated solution, good luck mate

[boreal osprey]

@lone lichen

[slate swan]

show your code

without the token

[boreal osprey]

the snipe command code?

[slate swan]

yes

[boreal osprey]

i have a function at the top

[slate swan]

interesting

[boreal osprey]

do you need my function?

[slate swan]

show me the top of your code rn

that you have now

[slate swan]

two on_ready events

[boreal osprey]

ye

[slate swan]

just put the content of your second one to the first one

and delete the second one

you can't have two of the same events

[graceful gulch]

ty! might go to the guys in #async-and-concurrency for some help lol cause my brain dies when it comes to async

[slate swan]

lol

[boreal osprey]

k done

[slate swan]

I don't know if that could have caused the problem

try running the code

[boreal osprey]

this is saying that the command isn't found

but ill try

nice

it still gives me a error

akefbnjkfbadskgbaslkgsarg

[trim fulcrum]

Show new code

[hasty iron]

i saw your code before and the snipe command was inside the on_message_delete event

that’s the issue

[slate swan]

now it's not

[hasty iron]

then did it work?

[slate swan]

.

but ig it still doesn't work

[hasty iron]

did you save your code

[boreal osprey]

kjewbfkuweblewgbase

yes

[slate swan]

stop spamming lmao

[hasty iron]

can you show your full code

!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.
