the time?

[brisk helm]

Why lol

[grand anvil]

ye

[hasty iron]

read the license

[boreal ravine]

Well it's his work and his bot it's also open source too so makes sense

[grand anvil]

I got the unix time of the time I want to show in the footer

[vale root]

^

[grand anvil]

how to convert unix to datetime

[valid niche]

well that means self.last_msg is None

[hollow summit]

embed.add_field(name="Game", value=ctx.message.author.game)

[vale root]

wdym?

[valid niche]

if you look at the logic of your code

[vale root]

mhm

[slate swan]

embed.add_field(name="Game", value=ctx.author.game)??

[boreal ravine]

Like 8:24 PM ?

[valid niche]

that message appears when the if not serlf.last_msg is true

[slate swan]

why message

[boreal ravine]

?

[vale root]

So yes if the msg was not sent by the bot

[hollow summit]

error is member has no attribute game

[vale root]

So that the bot dose not snipe itself

[boreal ravine]

yes member has no attribute game

[valid niche]

there's no game in there

those are all attributes and methods of a member

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

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

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

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

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

`hash(x)` Returns the member’s hash.

`str(x)` Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

The limit is nnot working the moment i make a channel i get kicked how can i fix it or am i doing something wrong

[boreal ravine]

maybe https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Activity ?

[valid niche]

yeah okay that might be the case, but self.last_msg is None and thus sends "nothing to snipe"

[boreal ravine]

y add a limit for channels lmfao (un-related)

[vale root]

ok so what do i fix?

Get rid of self.last)msg?

[slate swan]

dw i just need to fix this problem

[valid niche]

well it literally just looks if there were 6 channels created EVER, it doesn't check the user, it doesn't check times, and just kicks the user that made the last channel

[slate swan]

oh

[valid niche]

there's no if statements in there

there's nothing being checked

it just blindly kicks the person

[slate swan]

how do i make it check the name

time

[valid niche]

how much python have you done before?

[slate swan]

a bit lol

[valid niche]

do you know what an if statement is?

and a for loop

[slate swan]

i do know but idk how to make it check the last audit log

[gritty meteor]

I guess this is for an anti-raid system, more likely to prevent users from spam-create channels. I'm guessing he wants to check if in a range of seconds how many channels were created, and if that exceeds the limit, the raider would get kicked and the channel would be deleted.

[slate swan]

the time off it

[valid niche]

use for loops and if statements

[rare saddle]

Please help me, look at my code and tell me please why the music stops suddenly? I will throw off the code in DM

[visual island]

threading module is not suitable with asyncio

[lament mesa]

Why are you using threading and asyncio?

[hasty iron]

threading wont work with async function and also mixing threading with async is bad

[valid niche]

you're breaching youtube's TOS, you're breaching discord's TOS and you're breaking copyright @rare saddle so you won't get support here

[lament mesa]

Ig you want to use loop.create_task

!d asyncio.loop.create_task

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.loop.create\_task

loop.create_task(coro, *, name=None)```
Schedule the execution of a [Coroutines](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine). Return a [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task "asyncio.Task") object.

Third-party event loops can use their own subclass of [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task "asyncio.Task") for interoperability. In this case, the result type is a subclass of [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task "asyncio.Task").

If the *name* argument is provided and not `None`, it is set as the name of the task using [`Task.set_name()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.set_name "asyncio.Task.set_name").

Changed in version 3.8: Added the `name` parameter.

[leaden anvil]

thanks but I when I run the code with the bot id it works perfectly fine

[hasty iron]

not awaiting a coroutine doesn't crash your code but it doesnt run the function

[gritty meteor]

await is asynchronously and btw meme is NOT a loop, because there are no while runLoop: or something there, await would end it instantly. Consider adding a while runLoop:\n <code> to fix the issue.

[lament mesa]

And don't use globals

[hasty iron]

and you should use tasks.loop instead

[gritty meteor]

^^ this

[hasty iron]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, count=None, reconnect=True, loop=None)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

making a music bot is like making a radio station. The stations need to get all permissions from every music publisher to use the music in their shows

[rare saddle]

Then why are there such bots as: Rythm, Groovy

[valid niche]

why do you think groovy got shut down?

and i doubt rythm will last much longer

groovy got a CnD from youtube

[rare saddle]

Groovy works

[slate swan]

There's not much to say really, we're not going to help with a project that uses youtube DL simply because it breaks YouTube's ToS

its like making something, another guy copies it and gets popular for it, thats why copyright exists

!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.

[pale turtle]

!JSON

[unkempt canyon]

When using JSON, you might run into the following error:

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

This error could have appeared because you just created the JSON file and there is nothing in it at the moment.

Whilst having empty data is no problem, the file itself may never be completely empty.

You most likely wanted to structure your JSON as a dictionary. To do this, edit your empty JSON file so that it instead contains {}.

Different data types are also supported. If you wish to read more on these, please refer to this article.

Im trying to make my clear command clear for specific users, -clear user amount

how do I make it delete for that user?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge use the check kwarg

[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

[fervent surge]

so I am trying to make slash commands. After 3 hrs of waiting, still nothing, any ideas why?

[maiden fable]

Which library?

[spark dragon]

so use bulk?

[fervent surge]

from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext

i have the guild thing

[maiden fable]

?

[maiden fable]

Never used that lib, sorry

[spark dragon]

do I use bulk for the clear

[daring flame]

did you sync the commands?

[maiden fable]

What...?

[spark dragon]

this

[daring flame]

off of slash = SlashCommand(bot, sync_commands=False)

[fervent surge]

yes

[maiden fable]

Ah yea. Leave it as it is

[daring flame]

in addition, I have

from discord.ext import commands, tasks

[fervent surge]

and the bot has the create command perm

[fervent surge]

same here

[daring flame]

this one?

[fervent surge]

yep

[spark dragon]

okay

[fervent surge]

i kicked it, then reinvite

[daring flame]

any specific error messages you could share?

[fervent surge]

no, none

i have ben waiting for 3hrs

[daring flame]

it's instant if you use the guild's command sync

[fervent surge]

oh

i have guild thing

like aray with guild id

its int tho

not str

[daring flame]

maybe your function isn't right?
An example would be:

@slash.slash(name="example", guild_ids=[guild.id], description="")
async def example(ctx: commands.Context):
    await ctx.send(response)

[fervent surge]

i dont have the square brackets

[daring flame]

try with them. Since it takes a list

but it might also just take an int - but not sure

[fervent surge]

but that is a list

[lament mesa]

guild is not defined

[fervent surge]

exactly

[daring flame]

yep. In my example, 1 guild id in a list

check if you really have this line:

slash = SlashCommand(bot, sync_commands=True)

[fervent surge]

i didnt do that

i just have a list with 1 id as str now

[daring flame]

it's an int

NOT a string

[fervent surge]

yep:slash = SlashCommand(bot, sync_commands=True)

[fervent surge]

ok

If you want to display very long text you can use a paginator

[fervent surge]

well, i can shorten it, its fine

[lament mesa]

If you want to make a paginator

ugh

great

thx!

[valid galleon]

does anyone know how i can stop the pychache folder from appearing?

[pale turtle]

This is a question for #python-discussion , last time I asked there I was told it's not recommended

[lament mesa]

You can ignore that file

[heavy folio]

what happens if i delete it

would anything happen

[valid galleon]

how?

[valid galleon]

nah nothing happens. when you rerun ur bot, it reappears

[lament mesa]

It will appear again, you won't get any issues

[lament mesa]

Just ignore that file

[valid galleon]

my code for loading in the cogs:

for cog in listdir(path.join(path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__)), "cogs")):
    if cog.endswith(".py"):
        client.load_extension(f"cogs.{cog[:-3]}")

    else:
        print(f'unable to load {cog[:-3]}') ```

[valid galleon]

how?

[lament mesa]

Here is an explanation of that file
https://stackoverflow.com/a/48143622/13953998

[lament mesa]

Don't do anything about it

Just let it be where it is.

[slate swan]

you do know you can just use for cog in os.listdir("./cogs") iirc right?

[valid galleon]

ive started to get an error sometimes while loading in the cogs

[slate swan]

(Not that it makes a difference)

[lament mesa]

thats not fancy

[heavy folio]

oh

okay

[valid galleon]

AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands.errors' has no attribute 'ExtensionFailed'

yeah

error

[slate swan]

Lmao

[lament mesa]

Something else might be causing that error not the __pychache__ folder

[valid galleon]

i switched from d.py to pycord, but i dont think thats causing the error

according to it, its this line thats causing the error:
client.load_extension(f"cogs.{cog[:-3]}")

[hasty iron]

thats why forks are bad

[upbeat otter]

Guys, how do i add a GIF to an embed?

what attribute do i use?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

set_image(*, url)```
Sets the image for the embed content.

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

Changed in version 1.4: Passing [`Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty") removes the image.

[upbeat otter]

thanku

Why does it not load the GIF?

its just loading

and then becomes a poop 🥲 sign

[maiden fable]

Either the URL is wrong else is a discord issue

[upbeat otter]

Its happening with every GIF

like one month back, i tried the same

and now still it doesnt work

@client.command()
async def emt(ctx):
  e = discord.Embed(title="trial Embed", description=" ")
  e.set_image(url="https://tenor.com/view/kermit-suicide-flip-jump-crash-gif-5140737")
  await ctx.send(content=None, embed=e)

[maiden fable]

Seems like a discord issue

[upbeat otter]

ye

thanx

[upbeat otter]

So, i cant embed?

gifs?

[maiden fable]

Seems like it

Wait

@upbeat otter

It's my mistake

[upbeat otter]

uh

[maiden fable]

U gotta set the description to the url

[upbeat otter]

i dont understand 🥲

ah

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Embed.description

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.description

The description of the embed. This can be set during initialisation.

[upbeat otter]

name="hvrfbwlrf", url="https://rhwbkrw"

Like this?

[maiden fable]

No

Embed(description=url)

[upbeat otter]

ah

thanku

[fervent surge]

when I am using ctx : SlashContext, I am getting this error when using ctx.message.author:python AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'author'

If you use a decent IDE you can see the options available

[zenith zinc]

change prefix with chat command pls help dm me

[slate swan]

someone tell me how to make an embed?

[zenith zinc]

!embed

[hoary gust]

Guys it's possible to use any frontend framework with django right?

[zenith zinc]

!discord.embed

[slate swan]

https://python.plainenglish.io/send-an-embed-with-a-discord-bot-in-python-61d34c711046

ok

Google is your friend

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[zenith zinc]

😦

[slate swan]

Just stop

[zenith zinc]

Helppp dm pl

[slate swan]

but all of them are random

d ¯_(ツ)_/¯

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(**kwargs)```
Represents a Discord embed.

`len(x)` Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

[slate swan]

jeez

[zenith zinc]

yes

[hoary gust]

Lol

[zenith zinc]

mmm

script for change prefix with chat command pls dm mee help

[slate swan]

Use a database

[hoary gust]

@zenith zinc make it urself

[slate swan]

We won't code for you

We can help you with what you've done so far

[zenith zinc]

ok

[slate swan]

yea

[open forge]

I figured out the problem. I was using a cog listener for command invocation, but I forgot that listeners won't override the internal library handling of on_message, so I was creating a CustomContext object and invoking a command with it, while the library was creating a normal Context object and invoking a command with it. That's why it looks like the command worked fine, when really it was just being ran twice.

[stark bobcat]

hi

[slate swan]

elo

[stark bobcat]

hey

[hoary gust]

@stark bobcat hi bud

[waxen granite]

Then message = message sent by the bot

[stark bobcat]

hey! sup

[storm zodiac]

can i ask here if people want to contribute in the creation of my bot ?

[fervent surge]

i do

[slate swan]

which is better sublime or vsc?

Then you should've seen there's no ctx.message.author

[clever wind]

class Lobby:
  def __init__(self, lobby_number, queue_channel_id, Team_A_channel_id, Team_B_channel_id):
    
    queue_channel = client.get_channel(883963916915453962)
    Team_A_channel = client.get_channel(Team_A_channel_id)
    Team_B_channel = client.get_channel(Team_B_channel_id)

    queue_channel_members = queue_channel.members
    queue_channel_members_mention = []
    for member in queue_channel_members:
        queue_channel_members_mention.append(member.mention)

    @client.group(invoke_without_command=True)
    async def lobby(ctx):
      ctx.send("Lobbies Online.")

    @lobby.command()
    async def start(ctx):
        random.shuffle(queue_channel_members_mention)

        team_a = queue_channel_members_mention[len(queue_channel_members_mention) // 2:]
        team_b = queue_channel_members_mention[:len(queue_channel_members_mention) // 2]

        embed_lobby1 = discord.Embed(title="Teams")
        embed_lobby1.add_field(name="Team A", value="\n".join(team_a), inline=True)
        embed_lobby1.add_field(name="Team B", value="\n".join(team_b), inline=True)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed_lobby1)

it says nonetype doesn't have the attribute members

[waxen granite]

Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable what does this mean?

[slate swan]

Object is None

And you're trying to get an element from it or manipulate it

[waxen granite]

Okay

[clever wind]

can u tell me why its not working for me in my case

queue_channel shouldn't be a nonetype

[slate swan]

For what line do you get the error

[clever wind]

3rd line

[stark bobcat]

How do i read a user's dm

[slate swan]

Use fetch_channel

Bot might not have the channel in cache and therefore can't see it

[clever wind]

hmm okay

[clever wind]

it now says: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'members'

[slate swan]

await it

await client.fetch_channel....

[clever wind]

is there a way to make the bot have the cache, bc it goes on a spiral of problems

[slate swan]

Nope

[clever wind]

await out of async function, then when do use async it says: init() should return None, not 'coroutine'

[slate swan]

Wait, why are your commands even in the init function?

[clever wind]

uh.. idk i don't think i intended to do that

um thats weird now that i see it

[frosty prairie]

huh

didnt get

[stark bobcat]

how can i print the message the has user sent to the bot

[hoary gust]

Well no but u can dm

[slate swan]

It's in the on_message event

So simply message.content

[stark bobcat]

no

[slate swan]

It is

[storm zodiac]

dm who ?

[slate swan]

E is capital

[hoary gust]

@storm zodiac anyone u want to

But at ur own risk

[slate swan]

As I said, it's Embed and not embed

[stark bobcat]

i meant in dms

like in bot dms

[slate swan]

It's the same event

Same event gets triggered

[stark bobcat]

oh

oh

ok thanks

[slate swan]

Then you can just check the channel of the message to see if it's in private messages

[hoary gust]

If (message.channel.type) == "private"

[slate swan]

Nope

[hoary gust]

Maybe

[slate swan]

if isinstance(message.channel, discord.channel.DMChannel):

[hoary gust]

I am a bit rusty

[slate swan]

Check the object if it's an instance of the DMChannel object

[hoary gust]

@slate swan well that's not foor event

[slate swan]

It is?

[hoary gust]

No it's a cmd error handler

[slate swan]

No

It's Python knowledge

[storm zodiac]

why would i do that tho, that is why i asked here

[slate swan]

embed=embed when sending the embed

await channel.send(embed=define the embed)

[hoary gust]

[storm zodiac]

how is it advertising ?

[hoary gust]

It is

[slate swan]

Just leave it

[hoary gust]

It's not allowed

[slate swan]

By now the message can't be seen anymore anyways

[hoary gust]

Mod here

Scofflaw

[blissful lagoon]

It's understandable that you thought to look here for help, but unfortunately we don't allow advertising even for personal projects

[slate swan]

!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.

[slate swan]

You're missing f

Before the ""

[hoary gust]

Thanks scofflaw

[storm zodiac]

afaik advertising meant, "use my lib" - "i will pay you" - "this other thing is better i made it"

[slate swan]

You may want to listen to the moderator though right?

    embed.add_field(name='News', value=message , inline=False)

    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    await ctx.message.delete()``` My code is supposed to be used in this way

`.announce This is a test`, it will embed `This Is A Test` but right now what it does is emebed `This` because value=message only takes `This` from the message. My question is how do i make take the entire sentence?

[slate swan]

Use *

[storm zodiac]

i did

[lone aurora]

are u replying to me? in which case u mean ctx, message, *?

[slate swan]

Yes, take a look at this:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#keyword-only-arguments

[slate swan]

okay, make a command with title, description and color command args, and make an embed and set each embed arg/kwarg to the command input

[slate swan]

Advertising is a marketing communication that employs an openly sponsored, non-personal message to promote or sell a product, service or idea.
You were promoting your future product / idea

[lone aurora]

al right ill test it

[slate swan]

Try it and see ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hoary gust]

Hey Krypton

[lone aurora]

Wow thanks alot @slate swan

[slate swan]

No problem

ctx.author.mention

[lone aurora]

Pretty sure this would work too, thanks for the suggestion but ill stick to the smaller code coz im lazy B)

[hoary gust]

@hollow iron ctx.author.mention

[lone aurora]

you could make a

author = ctx.author.mention``` and then use `author`

wrong reply ._.

[slate swan]

If you use it once it's redundant code though, but yes you can

[hoary gust]

@slate swan Hey bud

[slate swan]

Yes?

[frosty prairie]

..

[slate swan]

Use fetch_member and save it in a variable, and then use .send on it

[hoary gust]

Well tbh I once advertised my bot in this server and I don't even know that I was warned and after 3 months when I was talking with a mod in modmail he told me I was warned once @slate swan

🤣🤣🤣

[slate swan]

Unlucky I guess

Just put the id

[hoary gust]

@hollow iron api call bud

[slate swan]

Without id=

[hoary gust]

Don't use

[frosty prairie]

..

[hoary gust]

Don't use fetch

[slate swan]

Will have to, if you don't have the members intent enabled

Make sure the bot is in the server where the emote is

i tried a default emote 🤙

this one ..

[slate swan]

Just put it normally in the string?

[frosty prairie]

yea .. i did

[slate swan]

Copy paste this

Works fine

[frosty prairie]

how u got this type of emoji...

:/

[slate swan]

?

[cloud dawn]

Use both get and fetch.

[slate swan]

Like that

[frosty prairie]

[slate swan]

Yup

[frosty prairie]

[cloud dawn]

Hello

[frosty prairie]

he!!o

[hasty iron]

that wont work

send_message is no longer a thing

[cloud dawn]

vaprant_id = guild.get_member(672580539513045013) or await bot.fetch_member(672580539513045013)

[lone aurora]

for the administrator permission would it be ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator

[leaden anvil]

Oh yeah I will update it sorry

[hasty iron]

get_member is a method of Guild

not Bot

[cloud dawn]

And you can define the message inside the function.

[hoary gust]

Wdym was it present previously?

[hasty iron]

it was a thing some time ago

anyone? ._.

but it was removed

my bad

[leaden anvil]

also thank you

[boreal ravine]

whats bot for

[upbeat otter]

why is this not working 🥲

@client.command()
async def emt(ctx):
  e = discord.Embed(title="trial Embed", description=" ")
  e.set_image(url="https://tenor.com/view/kermit-suicide-flip-jump-crash-gif-5140737")
  await ctx.send(content=None, embed=e)

[boreal ravine]

remove the description kwarg and the content kwarg

what u tryna do?

[upbeat otter]

i see

[vestal owl]

if message.content.lower() == 'registration complete':
                fetched = ctx.guild.get_member(881081223533977630)
                print(fetched)
                guild = discord.Guild
                await my_channel.send('All users registered!')
                overwrites = {
                def = guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages = False),
                guild_me = guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages = True)
                }
                if message.author.id not in reg_user:
                    await my_channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite = overwrites)```
so I've almost got the code working, its just that ``read_messages = False`` is True also for the bot, meaning it can't speak in the channel, how do I get around this?

[upbeat otter]

@client.command()
async def emt(ctx):
  e = discord.Embed(title="trial Embed")
  e.set_image(url="https://tenor.com/view/kermit-suicide-flip-jump-crash-gif-5140737")
  await ctx.send(embed=e)
```like this?

[hasty iron]

you cant send None

[boreal ravine]

ye

[upbeat otter]

thenx

still not working

[vestal owl]

^^ please help with this if you can

[hasty iron]

what is this def = guild.default_role:

that makes it clear that you don't know basic python

[boreal ravine]

it should work

[vestal owl]

I should remove that, I was just experimenting bc I was desperate

[upbeat otter]

@client.command()
async def emt(ctx):
  e = discord.Embed(title="trial Embed")
  e.set_image(url="https://tenor.com/view/kermit-suicide-flip-jump-crash-gif-5140737")
  await ctx.send(embed=e)
``` This GIF doesnt load, the embed is successfully sent

[boreal ravine]

normal bug lol

[hasty iron]

yeah you should learn basic python

[cloud dawn]

def = guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages = False),
                guild_me = guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages = True)
                }
``` this is art

[upbeat otter]

for every GIF?

[vestal owl]

i do know basic python

[boreal ravine]

not every

[hasty iron]

and you need an instance of Guild not the class itself

[upbeat otter]

I tried like 5

[hasty iron]

you did, you'd know that you can't assign to keywords

[boreal ravine]

where the comma's

wait you can set footers in the variable too?

[vale root]

How can i make my bot put a emote in the embed?

[brisk fiber]

also, some fields in an embed need to be added via the embed.set_x methods

[boreal ravine]

Use the emote id

[vale root]

For ex: join

[cloud dawn]

Yes.

[vale root]

So I just get the id and put it in?

[hasty iron]

if you're asking about invalid syntax errors, you should review basics

[boreal ravine]

i think ppl know that?

[frosty prairie]

is there smth like ..
bot.wait_for('reaction')?

[boreal ravine]

yes like !ducky_australia

[vale root]

Where do i get the id

[boreal ravine]

???

[frosty prairie]

just keep the emote u wanna keep..

[boreal ravine]

await message.channel.send

[vale root]

So i would do

embed = discord.Embed(title = f"(the id) baaala")
?

[boreal ravine]

message.channel.send

[frosty prairie]

idk if tahts dm..

[boreal ravine]

yeah

[frosty prairie]

thats*

[vale root]

How do i get the id with numbers

[boreal ravine]

y reply?

[vale root]

all i can get is :blaa:

[frosty prairie]

idk y reply

[brisk fiber]

you'd have to do my_user = bot.get_user(your_user_id) and then my_user.send(blah)

[boreal ravine]

use \ before an emoji

[vale root]

ok thx

[boreal ravine]

wut

[brisk fiber]

message.channel.send() just sends your message to whatever channel the original message was sent in

so you have to get the user object of the user you want to DM, then send it to them via the .send() method on that object

[vale root]

its not letting me do /then the emoji

oh wait hang on

[boreal ravine]

member = 696969696969696969
await member.send(672580539513045013, embed= discord.Embed(title="Personal Info Detected!", description=f"{message.author} was banned for an attempt at leaking personal information!", footer="{message}" color=0xff0000))
``` @hollow iron dis maybe

[brisk fiber]

within discord, type the emoji then add a \ before it, then send

[vale root]

nvm i got it

[upbeat otter]

set_image is still not loading the GIF

[boreal ravine]

\

[boreal ravine]

link error lol

[brisk fiber]

no you have to get the user object first

an int has no method .send()

[upbeat otter]

for 3 GIFs?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[upbeat otter]

woh

[boreal ravine]

dont use tenor

[upbeat otter]

I see

[boreal ravine]

true

[upbeat otter]

giphy?

[vale root]

its not saying the emoji its just saying :yes:

@commands.command(name="ssuvote")
    async def ssuvote(self,ctx):
        embed = discord.Embed(title = f"SSU VOTE", description =f"Vote With the ![Yes](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/860879912955805696.webp?size=128 "Yes") mark if you plan on attending."

        embed.set_thumbnail(url = 'https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/jftnVFITYRGaMwbf6aY7Qutqp6Q_2gA4v72nXBbpALg/%3Fsize%3D512/https/cdn.discordapp.com/icons/857793161370533938/c38dde5d462235e12a3e10a2dc789dc6.png?width=461&height=461')
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[boreal ravine]

is it in the server u got the emoji in

[vale root]

let me check i think so

[brisk fiber]

you were calling .send() on member but member is just the userid, not the user object lol

[vale root]

Yea it is

[boreal ravine]

u sure

[vale root]

wait let me check again

[boreal ravine]

wait can u put emojis in custom descriptions?

[brisk fiber]

oh that happened to me once, i had to get the emoji object and then put it in the string with an f-string

[frosty prairie]

IS THERE SMTH LIKE
bot.wait_for('reaction')

?

[brisk fiber]

idk why it didn't work with just the id and stuff but

[brisk fiber]

yes

uh hang on

[boreal ravine]

Maybe just make a variable with the emoji id and use an f string

[cloud dawn]

!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**...

[cloud dawn]

[vale root]

I got it

[brisk fiber]

ah alright nice

[vale root]

thanks though

[brisk fiber]

no worries haha

[vestal owl]

can you help me too?

[brisk fiber]

i've gtg in a minute but if you ask your question someone will probably be able to help!

[vestal owl]

                    print('Non registered users cannot speak')```

[slate swan]

code?

oh

[vestal owl]

what this is doing is that it is preventing non registered users from speaking in a channel, but it is also preventing the bot speaking in the channel

[slate swan]

myEmbed.add_field(name='Message:', value=...)
@hollow iron

[vestal owl]

how do I give permissions to the bot to speak in the channel?

[slate swan]

put its id in reg_user ig

[vestal owl]

tried that though

[slate swan]

guys how can i get number of people in guild in {}?

!d discord.Guild.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.member\_count

member_count```
Returns the true member count regardless of it being loaded fully or not.

Warning

Due to a Discord limitation, in order for this attribute to remain up-to-date and accurate, it requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") to be specified.

[slate swan]

or do you mean

!d discord.Guild.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.members

members```
A list of members that belong to this guild.

[vestal owl]

discord.guild.members

[slate swan]

note that discord.Guild has to be replaced with a guild object

[vestal owl]

like ctx right?

[slate swan]

nothing work im in on member join

[wide dust]

[slate swan]

like ctx.guild

[vestal owl]

yep

[slate swan]

message.guild

oh

I'm stupid

message.guild.members?

member.guild.members

[slate swan]

i just get pillow error on picture

what

[slate swan]

doesnt work

but your problem is with pillow

so you may send your code

and the error

it don't work doesn't help me in helping you

[slate swan]

no, pillow works i just want to add new text

but cant figure out how to def how many members are in guild

member.guild.members should work

send the error

vaprant_id is Nonetype

it returned nonetype

is the guy you want to get in a server with your bot?

[vestal owl]

where is the variable {my_Embed}

can you show that part too

[slate swan]

then use
discord.Guild.get_member

and you send embeds like
await member.send(embed=myEmbed)

Yup

[lone aurora]

        await ctx.send(random.choice(variable))``` can someone tell me what im doing wrong here

[slate swan]

send the error bru

[lone aurora]

i had it written but i deleted it and saved and now i am forget..

[slate swan]

What is variable

Should be something like a list

[lone aurora]

yes

a list of pictures

[slate swan]

Then we'd need the error

[slate swan]

🤦‍♂️

[vestal owl]

import random

[slate swan]

Yup

[lone aurora]

ight

[slate swan]

but.... a list of pictures?

wouldn't it be in the file kwarg then?

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.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.

[slate swan]

To upload a single file, the file parameter should be used with a single File object. To upload multiple files, the files parameter should be used with a list of File objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

[lone aurora]

its just a crap ton of URLs

also thanks it worked

[slate swan]

then it's okay

yes, guild.get_member(id)

[maiden fable]

Good job on helping people

[slate swan]

hi

[maiden fable]

Hi

[vestal owl]

if message.content.lower() == 'registration complete':
                await my_channel.send('All users registered!')
                perms = my_channel.overwrites_for(ctx.guild.default_role)
                if ctx.guild.default_role not in reg_user:
                    perms.send_messages = False
                    await my_channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite = perms)
                    print('Non registered users cannot speak')```

ok this is seriously not working

[slate swan]

you forgot the id part...

[slate swan]

what's the problem with it

oof, I only read the last line

but like

you used the class

not an instance of it

discord.Guild always has to be replaced with a guild instance

message.guild for example

[vestal owl]

what it does is that it prevents @ everyone from speaking in the channel, but then it also prevents the bot from speaking in the channel which is what Im trying to undo

[slate swan]

why don't you give it permission in discord

[vestal owl]

it has administrative permissions

[slate swan]

then it's impossible to prevent it from anything...

[vestal owl]

but this is an overwrite so no matter what happens, the bot is affected

[vestal owl]

not if there is an overwrite

[neat birch]

Anyone Know How To Make A Bot Command Like If We Do - .delete [channel name] ( not channel mention) it deletes every channel in the server with that name

[slate swan]

have you tried writing something there with the bot?

has it thrown an error?

wrong id?

no intents?

!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.

[vestal owl]

nvm bruh im so stupid

[slate swan]

oof

[vestal owl]

i forgot to turn administrator on

LMAO

[neat birch]

[slate swan]

that's a bru moment

[vestal owl]

i've been drilling at that for 2+ hours

this happens a lot

[slate swan]

should I ask once again

have you enabled intents?

are you sure you have the right id?

are you sure the bot is in a server that the person's in?

[lone aurora]

Can i not make error codes in cogs? like @test.error

[slate swan]

you absolutely can

[lone aurora]

raise errors.ExtensionFailed(key, e) from e
discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.math' raised an error: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'error'

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client


    @commands.command
    async def add(self, ctx, num1:int, num2:int):
        await ctx.send(f"__{num1}__ + __{num2}__ = **__{num1 + num2}__**")

    @add.error
    async def add_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):

            await ctx.send(embed=em)


def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(math(client))```

[slate swan]

hm

[lone aurora]

im trying to setup cogs and its my first time doing it, i have no clue where im going wrong

[spring flax]

@commands.command()

[slate swan]

oh bru

[lone aurora]

...

[spring flax]

what

look at your code again

[lone aurora]

stop being so good diabolical

actually, be the best so u can fix my codes, thanks ;DD

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.get_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_member

get_member(user_id)```
Returns a member with the given ID.

[slate swan]

yeah, idk

intents are both in dev portal and in the code enabled?

stop putting discord in your code

bot tab

there, under
Privileged gateway intents

instantly

and guild is lowercase there

message.Guild
message.guild ✅

otherwise it's even worse

server members intent enabled

now try with message.guild.get_member

guild

[last moss]

!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.

[slate swan]

show me your imports and the bot declaration

@hollow iron

now the bot = commands.Bot stuff

then client

client doesn't take intents.....

!d discord.Client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, loop=None, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

A number of options can be passed to the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[slate swan]

oh, it actually does

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = true

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)```

or just Intents.default()

since you've imported it

you can

you can delete the from discord import Intents
and paste this in your code

then it should work

if not, I'm done

you're welcome

[crimson cliff]

Hi Guys
I made a simple bot
But Their Command doesn't work
Even I run python program in VS Code
Still...

Anyone Help

This is my code

did not work for while
Someone pls help

Hlo
Anyone help

@copper quartz

[cloud dawn]

Please don't ping random people especially staff.

[crimson cliff]

ok but no one is replying
They were typing now left

[crimson cliff]

btw
I am also Panda but Soul xD

[cloud dawn]

Because typhinting only converts an object to a datatype

[brisk fiber]

if you want it to be optional you'd have to make it a keyword argument with default value None

or whatever default you want

[crimson cliff]

anyone reply mine

[spring flax]

if they are all strings, you can't do that

[brisk fiber]

i think you can have an embed without a description, yeah

but i'm not sure

[spring flax]

you cannot have a typing.Optional in between arguments if they're all strings

but what you can do is

use each arg with " "

like

"this" "is" "a" "example"

[cloud dawn]

Slash commands allow optional kwargs that allow you to customize it better and have it more user friendly.

[crimson cliff]

there is no error
But when i commands
No reply

[brisk fiber]

Client isn't part of the commands module and thus doesn't recognize commands, so you'd need to make it be bot = commands.Bot() instead of client = discord.Client()

[crimson cliff]

on 6th line?

[brisk fiber]

yeah

[crimson cliff]

ok

[cloud dawn]

Do you want to create embeds?

Yeah i'd recommend slash

[spring flax]

yes

wait

nevermind, that's not what you want

[crimson cliff]

@brisk fiber this error came

[spring flax]

if you want to have an optional arg in between a list of args typehinted to strings, there's no way afaik

(considering you don't want slash commands)

[cloud dawn]

I'd recommend reading the error

[crimson cliff]

hm?

wdym

[open forge]

Look at line 7

[cloud dawn]

The error gives you the exact issue in your code.

[open forge]

Yes, now look at that line, and the error.

[crimson cliff]

this man told me
That's why i did

[brisk fiber]

oh i misread your code lol

you defined client as a Client object and then reassigned it to an AutoShardedBot right after

[cloud dawn]

And he is right you just need to remove every client part and rename it to bot.

[thorny pagoda]

heeyy

[crimson cliff]

-__- np lol

[thorny pagoda]

hiiiii

[brisk fiber]

yeah try doing this and then if it doesn't work something else is going on

you do run your bot, right?

[crimson cliff]

Ok Will try

[brisk fiber]

bot.run(token)

[thorny pagoda]

hiiiu

[crimson cliff]

the mark i did I need to change that Client into bot?

[crimson cliff]

yeah ok

[brisk fiber]

yeah

[crimson cliff]

Ok

[cloud dawn]

You can just do replace all

[brisk fiber]

^

[waxen granite]

in last line

[brisk fiber]

looks like embedchannels is an int

[crimson cliff]

import os

Fine?

[brisk fiber]

does it work?

[waxen granite]

how to fix this?

[cloud dawn]

This will still throw the same error

[crimson cliff]

same error

[crimson cliff]

But why is that tho?

[cloud dawn]

Because you need to add the arg command_prefix

[boreal ravine]

what does sharding do? @crimson cliff

[cloud dawn]

and remove bot = commands.AutoShardedBot(command_prefix="$")

[round quarry]

Why is it that when I execute a file, for example "ban.py", I can only execute the "ban" command, and when I execute the other files, such as "kick.py", only "kick" is executed?
I explain?

[brisk fiber]

you can just compare the two with ==

[boreal ravine]

@round quarry because u can only run 1 at a time

[crimson cliff]

i already did that in 9th lines

[boreal ravine]

1 file*

[brisk fiber]

oh you also need to define your prefix in your first bot = commands.Bot() statement

[round quarry]

sure, I run them one by one

[waxen granite]

how do i convert a int obj in a channel obj?

[crimson cliff]

9th lines should come to 7th lines of code? (Exchange)?

[boreal ravine]

@crimson cliff

[cloud dawn]

#discord-bots message

[brisk fiber]

i don't think you want an AutoShardedBot while you're still learning the fundamentals of discord.py

[boreal ravine]

He didn't reply.

[crimson cliff]

done that

[crimson cliff]

yes

[boreal ravine]

@crimson cliff ???

r u blind

[crimson cliff]

what do u want

[vale root]

   @commands.command(name="Say")
    async def say(self, ctx,*, message=None):
        await ctx.send(message)

How do i make the bot delete what the person said?

So it delete the say command

So all you see is what the bot said

[boreal ravine]

what does sharding do?

[crimson cliff]

ask others

[boreal ravine]

why?

[cloud dawn]

await ctx.message.delete()

[boreal ravine]

its in ur code right?

[vale root]

thx

[boreal ravine]

!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.

[crimson cliff]

no

[boreal ravine]

@crimson cliff wym "no"?

[crimson cliff]

Read Dictionary then

[boreal ravine]

its right there in ur code and im asking what doed sharding do?

[boreal ravine]

wut dictionary?

[crimson cliff]

what does no mean

[boreal ravine]

No, I said what did you mean when you said "no".

[vale root]

For my snipe command how can i make it show the person being sniped's avatar?

[boreal ravine]

did u try it yet?

[vale root]

What i just wrote?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[vale root]

no

let me try it

[boreal ravine]

ok

[vale root]

When I add that the command dose not work

[leaden anvil]

Ok , is there any web app server with free hosting for discord bots or any other thing and not like free trail but free to use. Please tag me if u want to reply.

[cloud dawn]

You need the url

author.avatar_url

[vale root]

where do i put that

Oh in the ()

[cloud dawn]

Nothing in life is free

[vale root]

still dose not make the command work

[cloud dawn]

Show me the syntax

[vale root]

There is no error

It just dose not work

the rest of the cmds work not that one

[leaden anvil]

haha but actually is there any severs to use for hosting web apps ?

[cloud dawn]

Nothing that i'd recommend some sites are just for testing and slow. The best free hosting will be your own pc.

[leaden anvil]

but I don't want to run it like 24 hours manually but I could make that program is a background process that turns on if the computer is but like I don't know how to do that plus why would I waste my computer memory like five different severs will be using it at the same time so is there a better alternative.

[vale root]

Would you not just go to settings background process and run the file?

When you open your file it will show the power shell and open the terminal

So if you make that terminal run when you open your pc

[leaden anvil]

Thanks

[vale root]

idk if it works

Sounds like it should lol

[vale root]

Where do i put that?

[leaden anvil]

I will test it tomorrow kind of feeling sleepy

[vale root]

mhm

    await logchannel.send(f'Message by {message.author} `({message.author.id})` in {message.channel.mention} has been removed. \n**Content**: {message.content}')``` How can I make this tell me how long the message was in the channel for before it was deleted?

Like for example, it was deleted 4 seconds after the message was sent, it would say (4 seconds after message was sent)

help please

[full lily]

emoji is None

[waxen granite]

no errors

[full lily]

banList must be empty

[waxen granite]

ye

should i keep a check for it?

[slate swan]

anyone know whats wrong here coded this ages ago

@bot.command(
  name="kick",
  help="kick mentioned user",
  usage="prefix kick <@member> [reason]"
)
async def _kick(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
  await member.kick(reason=reason)
  await ctx.message.delete()

@bot.command(
  name="ban",
  help="ban mentioned user",
  usage="prefix ban <@member> [reason]"
)
async def _ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
  await member.ban(reason=reason)
  await ctx.message.delete()

[wary ravine]

just do

if ban in banList:
  for ban in banList:
else:
  print("banList empty!")

[cloud dawn]

If a list is empty you can just do if

if banList:
  # banList is defined
else:
  # banList is None (empty)

[waxen granite]

i just want to send the else part, if the banlist is empty

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_message_delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message\_delete

discord.on_message_delete(message)```
Called when a message is deleted. If the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the `Client.max_messages` attribute or use the [`on_raw_message_delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_delete "discord.on_raw_message_delete") event instead.

This requires [`Intents.messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Intents.messages "discord.Intents.messages") to be enabled.

[waxen granite]

how do i define ban here?

[cloud dawn]

then do ```py
if not banList:
return await ctx.send('There are no bans')

[wary ravine]

doesn't that check if banList exists?

[cloud dawn]

No because we inverse the bool with not

So this says: if banList is empty or None

!e ```py
x = None

if not x:
print('True since we applied not so False will become True')

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

True since we applied not so False will become True

[slate swan]

anyone?

[kindred epoch]

nothing is wrong

[cloud dawn]

More info?

[slate swan]

thats all i have and it just doesnt work

idk why

[kindred epoch]

does it show an error?

[slate swan]

?

[kindred epoch]

error is pretty clear

[slate swan]

i have perms tho

[kindred epoch]

?

you're not the bot

[slate swan]

ooh ye

[kindred epoch]

it cant ban u

or its missing ban_members perms

[slate swan]

ye im just dumb

it does work lmao

sry bout that

[waxen granite]

should i add return after if not banList?

[cloud dawn]

I have no idea what this is doing.

[kindred epoch]

what are you trying to do?

[waxen granite]

if not banlist check if there is a ban list in the server when a member leaves the server.

[kindred epoch]

?

[waxen granite]

for ban in ban list check 2 things when banlist exists
` - if the member is in the banlist it sends a msg saying member was banned
else
member left the sever

[kindred epoch]

so you want to send a message that a member left if a member gets banned?

[wary ravine]

how many instances are you running

[waxen granite]

1

figured , ty guys

how can i make an arg optional ?

[wicked atlas]

You can make an argument optional by making it a kwarg

[hasty iron]

that’s not true

you give it a default value, or in dpy you typehint it as Optional

[round quarry]

What happens is the following, it turns out that I have several .py files, for example: "avatar.py", "invite.py", "purge.py", etc. And when executing a file, only that file can be executed, for example I execute the avatar.py file, but only that one works, and the other files do not. I explain?

[wicked atlas]

Giving it a default value is making it a kwarg

[hasty iron]

do you know what a kwarg is

[wary ravine]

so like async def command(ctx, argument = None):

[hasty iron]

its keyword argument

[wicked atlas]

Well, I guess you could say keyword parameter

[hasty iron]

everything after , *, is a kwarg

giving something a default value doesn’t make it a kwarg

!e ```py
def foo(*, a): pass
foo()

[unkempt canyon]

@hasty iron :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
003 | TypeError: foo() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'a'

[wicked atlas]

Hmm, interesting

[lofty mulch]

My main file isn't showing any output

!paste

[waxen granite]

is there a way to get all the cogs?

a list of them

[hasty iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.cogs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.cogs

cogs```
A read-only mapping of cog name to cog.

[lofty mulch]

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

My code doesn't produce any output, is there something wrong with it?

[waxen granite]

        coglist = self.bot.cogs
        for cog in coglist:
            cog = self.bot.get_cog(cogname.lower())```
gives a nonetype error for cog

[hasty iron]

it returns a mapping not a list

a mapping of str and Cog

meaning if you do for name, cog in self.bot.cogs.items() name will be a string and cog will be a Cog object

[lyric moat]

how do i do buttons command?

[lofty mulch]

@hasty iron Could you take a look, please?

[hasty iron]

your code doesn’t print anything?

even the first print?

[lofty mulch]

Nope, not even the first print

[hasty iron]

then the error is coming from Cogs.DryFile

[lofty mulch]

How could I fix it?

[hasty iron]

i don’t know what error you get

[lofty mulch]

It doesn't show any error from the terminal

[hasty iron]

it just doesn’t work?

[lofty mulch]

Actually, let me run it again

Nope, it just doesn't work

[lyric moat]

how do i do buttons command?

[hasty iron]

does the bot run?

[lofty mulch]

It gets online, but doesn't recognize any commands

Actually, it doesn't even report errors
