[hasty iron]

i mean im not trying to be rude, but it doesn’t make sense

[slate swan]

Ok

Ty

[ruby cosmos]

Can multiple instances of a task loop run at once?

[hasty iron]

like a single task multiple times?

if so, iirc no

[ruby cosmos]

Yep

[hasty iron]

yeah you cant

it raises RuntimeError

[ruby cosmos]

So what could I do instead

[slate swan]

hurry answe pls how can i make it so certain ids can use a cmd as well as certain perms

[hasty iron]

why do you want to run the same task multiple times

[ruby cosmos]

So individual users can have loops for themselves

I guess I could do that with a command

[slate swan]

Srry to bother you but do you know anything about selenium and do you think you could help me

[hasty iron]

sorry, idk selenium

look at #❓｜how-to-get-help or go to #python-discussion

[ruby cosmos]

But I still want it to be cancellable with another command

[slate swan]

Ok ty

[hasty iron]

uh if you absolutely need to do that

you could make an async function and implement the looping logic yourself

and start the task with

!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.

[hasty iron]

then you could save the task and call

!d asyncio.Task.cancel

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.Task.cancel

cancel(msg=None)```
Request the Task to be cancelled.

This arranges for a [`CancelledError`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.CancelledError "asyncio.CancelledError") exception to be thrown into the wrapped coroutine on the next cycle of the event loop.

The coroutine then has a chance to clean up or even deny the request by suppressing the exception with a [`try`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/reference/compound_stmts.html#try) … … `except CancelledError` … [`finally`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/reference/compound_stmts.html#finally) block. Therefore, unlike [`Future.cancel()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-future.html#asyncio.Future.cancel "asyncio.Future.cancel"), [`Task.cancel()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.cancel "asyncio.Task.cancel") does not guarantee that the Task will be cancelled, although suppressing cancellation completely is not common and is actively discouraged.

Changed in version 3.9: Added the `msg` parameter.

The following example illustrates how coroutines can intercept the cancellation request:

[ruby cosmos]

Ok thanks

[waxen python]

I tried this

        vc_list = []
        for vc in self.client.voice_clients:
            for member in vc.members:
                vc_list.append(member)
        await ctx.send(f"There are {len(vc_list)} connected voice channels!")

but it just always returns 0, would you know if i did something wrong?
(its in a cog)

[hasty iron]

i believe you could simplify that to a list comp

[waxen python]

well, i need to have it working first

[hasty iron]

it could be an intent issue

do you have intents enabled

[pliant gulch]

Did you take a look at the docs????

[waxen python]

server members intents, yes

[pliant gulch]

It says its a VoiceProtocol not a voice channel

VoiceProtocol has a channel property which is what you want to access members on

[hasty iron]

it didn’t raise an error? 🤔

[waxen python]

nop

[pliant gulch]

Not sure either way just try that ig

I'm not good at voice

[waxen python]

try the voiceprotocol?

im looking at that now

[opaque trail]

discord.FFmpegPCMAudio is blocking the main thread and makes my computer a fucking jet taking off? last week it did not do that, any ideas?

[maiden fable]

It shouldn't tbh... Could be it's just taking too much resources and the bot isn't getting enough resources to run?

[opaque trail]

Nope, runned smoothly, perfectly, creating 500 instances extremely fast, now its blocking the main thread, making my cpu usage 100%, etc

[maiden fable]

Do u have logging turned on?

[opaque trail]

yes

[maiden fable]

And it's printing that the bot is being blocked or something?

[opaque trail]

obvisouly.

i just said it did block?

[maiden fable]

Well, sometimes the bot doesn't respond to commands and thTs when people say it's blocking

Well my best bet would be to see your resources consumption from the task manager or something

[fading granite]

Hi! I wanted to make a simple verification bot that presents a picture containing captcha to any new member and checks whether the new member enters it correctly and then gives them a role.
Can someone guide me on how do I go about? I feel lost.

[lone lichen]

Make like a list of random characters, then create an image w those characters and put some shit over it ig and check if their input matches the list

[vale root]

Is there a way to make a embed's color a hex not the main colors?

[maiden fable]

0xcode

[wind rapids]

Anyone know why errors are still raised?

[maiden fable]

?

[wind rapids]

I have that, but errors are still raised

I thought that would capture all errors?

[red canopy]

does anyone know how to create a thread? guild.create_thread doesn't seem to be working

[stark hearth]

if isinstance(error, commands.<error>):

did you put that after?

for <error>, its like MissingPermissions or CommandInvokeError

[wind rapids]

I did, it still raises the error

[stark hearth]

show the whole thing

[high flame]

what error

[high flame]

have you loaded the cog?

[wind rapids]

Yes

[high flame]

check again

[stark hearth]

maybe do @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True) but run it again

[high flame]

has.permissions -> has_permissions

[stark hearth]

typo my bad

[wind rapids]

I'm using that already

[high flame]

is guild.create_thread is even a thing?

also, you can't do that with 1.7

use 2.0 instead

[wind rapids]

It prints something out when I load it.

[high flame]

can i see your whole file code?

[high flame]

does it log that?

[wind rapids]

Yes

[high flame]

ugh

[stark hearth]

not sure then but maybe ctx not being used

[wind rapids]

Does it need to be?

[high flame]

nah

[stark hearth]

no

[high flame]

if he remove it, it will raise an error

that could not be a problem

[stark hearth]

yeah a ctx requirement error

[red canopy]

no that is what I was asking. How do you do it?

[wicked atlas]

Perhaps try putting a print statement outside of any conditions in your error handler, and see if it runs?

[high flame]

you may need 2.0 version or use any 3rd party lib

[wicked atlas]

@wind rapids

[wind rapids]

Still ran

[wicked atlas]

So that print statement printed?

[wind rapids]

Yes

[wicked atlas]

odd

[high flame]

you can create threads in master branch

[red canopy]

k thx

[red canopy]

when I did: pip install discord.py==2.10 it says the highest version is 1.7.3

[wicked atlas]

To install 2.0, you need to install it directly from the repository

pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@master

or use a fork, which I would do

[high flame]

this ^^

the latest stable version in pypi is 1.7.3

[slate swan]

is a say command ideal? or can it be used for things such as disabling your bot via violating chat tos

[maiden fable]

It's ideal. Many bots have it

[slate swan]

alright thanks

[vague grove]

how can I "ping" a channel to see if it exists

[wicked atlas]

Well, if you use fetch_channel and the channel ID, you can see if it exists

If it dosen't exist, it returns None

[vague grove]

ah

good idea

[slate swan]

Anyone know why I can't run my discord bot
The error says I can't run the token
and I

client.run(token)

[night onyx]

Is there any method by which I can check whether a guild member is bot or not

[slate swan]

I'm not sure

can u not use a discord.gg link with a button?

[slate swan]

there is a way to see if a guild member is a bot or not

like that ?

[kindred epoch]

Wdym

[slate swan]

i can't use a link for a server in my button

[kindred epoch]

Show how u did it

[slate swan]

the top one works but the bottom doesn't, they are the same code

[kindred epoch]

The code is what I mean

[slate swan]

i can't because the guild thing is in there

@kindred epoch i dmed u it

Can someone please help me with this it won't let me run the token for some reason

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = ('mytoken')

intents = discord.Intents.default()

    await ctx.send(embed=embed)



client.run(TOKEN)

[jade jolt]

why is it inside a tuple

[final iron]

You don't need it stored inside a variable

[slate swan]

It doesn't work either way

[jade jolt]

some do that

is ur token valid

[slate swan]

Yes

[jade jolt]

try make a new one and use it

[slate swan]

I have and made a new bot

Idk if they changed how you run it

[jade jolt]

show error

if any

[slate swan]

line 27, in <module>
    client.run(TOKEN)

Equivalent to [`User.bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.User.bot "discord.User.bot")

[wicked atlas]

@night onyx

[jade jolt]

you didnt enable intents inside the bot developer page

[slate swan]

OK thankyou

I turned on the wrong thing

Skid

[vivid nexus]

heya
so i have a class that runs with a while True statement
and each time i send a command, i want to create a new instance of that class
however im p sure since it runs by a while loop, it doesnt do anything since thats jus running all at once and the command is waiting for the function to finish
any recommendations on how to implement threading so i can use it?

[blazing coral]

so i am kindly confused whats wrong with this code lol cause its not giving any errors just wont work

@client.event
async def on_message_send(message):
message = "@,everyone"
logchannel = client.get_channel(886651843051155497)

await logchannel.send(f'Message from bot \nContent: {message.content}')

the , between the @ and everyone isnt there in the code just wont let me send on here

without it

[vale pendant]

well what are you trying to do?

[wicked atlas]

You are redefining message, you can't get the content attribute of it

[blazing coral]

it has worked in other things i dont get why not on this etc

[wicked atlas]

Also, you can send without pinging people if you format

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[wicked atlas]

@client.event
async def on_message_send(message):
    # message = "@,everyone" <- remove this for a second
    logchannel = client.get_channel(886651843051155497)

    await logchannel.send(f'Message from bot \nContent: {message.content}') # This should now run sucessfully

Also, never heard of an event named on_message_send?

[blazing coral]

alright but now how is it going to know to send the message to my audit log if we dont tell it what word to send it on

[wicked atlas]

?

[blazing coral]

when somone sends a message containing the word ('@everyon') i want it to send a thing to my log channel

[wicked atlas]

Oh, so you want to check if a message mentions everyone

[blazing coral]

no

[wicked atlas]

?

[blazing coral]

sorry read what you said wrong

yes

[wicked atlas]

Just use an if statement and the mention_everyone attribute

if message.mention_everyone:
    logchannel = client.get_channel(886651843051155497)
    await logchannel.send(f'Message from bot \nContent: {message.content}')

[blazing coral]

so how would i intergrate this to what i have etc

[wicked atlas]

Well, it would just go into your event

[blazing coral]

so just put the if in were i had the message =

alright make sense if statements confuse me alots so sorry for the trouble

[wicked atlas]

Yup

Also, just to clear up any confusion I think you might have, = is for assignment of variables, and == is for comparison of values

!comparison

[unkempt canyon]

Assignment vs. Comparison

The assignment operator (=) is used to assign variables.

x = 5
print(x)  # Prints 5

The equality operator (==) is used to compare values.

if x == 5:
    print("The value of x is 5")

[blazing coral]

alright thanks

[slate swan]

remove the ()
do like this TOKEN = 'MYTOKEN'

I did it now but ty anyway

Do you know how I can add text infron and after the number?```py
@client.command()
async def cheesy(ctx):
await ctx.send((random.randint(1,100)))

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan f strings

[slate swan]

I keep getting errors so I'm guess I put it in the wrong place

[wicked atlas]

!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.

[drifting arrow]

oh

[boreal ravine]

f strings

[drifting arrow]

@slate swan

@client.command()
async def cheesy(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"My Text {(random.randint(1,100))}")

[boreal ravine]

@drifting arrow y spoonfeed

[drifting arrow]

Coz he's gonna be back anyway

[boreal ravine]

no spoonfeeding

[drifting arrow]

Relax. I give it 5 minutes before he's back

[boreal ravine]

Why?

[drifting arrow]

Why what?

[slate swan]

I put one too many brackets

but ty anyway

[boreal ravine]

Why will he come back after 5 minutes?

[drifting arrow]

Coz he will. Trust.

[slate swan]

I've done this before anyway I just couldn't remember that well

[boreal ravine]

y judge people

🤨

[slate swan]

@drifting arrow stop spoonfeeding

[final iron]

Yall know any good asynchronous api wrappers for mojang api?

[slate swan]

No I'm watching someone watch top 2000 cheese live

[drifting arrow]

wot

[wicked atlas]

Top 2000 cheese

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/829947392651427860/887526753587839036/unknown.png

[wicked atlas]

Because of ```py
self.children[2].disabled = True
self.children[3].disabled = True

Did you perhaps mean

            self.children[3].disabled = True
            self.children[4].disabled = True

[stiff nexus]

oh

thx @wicked atlas

also do u know how to do this page number button thing?

[wicked atlas]

I would say that is just setting the label of the buttons, plus an emoji

[stiff nexus]

now i got this

[wicked atlas]

Make sure you make the change in your elif too

[stiff nexus]

when i pressed the double left button

[stiff nexus]

like?

[wicked atlas]

            self.children[3].disabled = False
            self.children[4].disabled = False

[stiff nexus]

worked

i will tell if i get any error

its not a tuple

How to do embeds

Dk how do do it in Python

[vale pendant]

!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.

[tame lynx]

thxthx

[vale pendant]

yeah ofc

[tribal cove]

is making music bots now banned, cant I even make my own ??

[boreal ravine]

u can make private ones

[slate swan]

its not banned
you can make your own, even public ones
it depends on how the bot runs, groovy and rythum were using youtube to get their music, if you use some other platform/api which supports such usage, your good to go

[tribal cove]

what if some song is only on youtube

[slate swan]

cant then

[hoary fog]

i have a problem

[slate swan]

what is it

[hoary fog]

How to make this drop down thing ?

[fleet oracle]

    async def servericon(self, ctx):
        icon = ctx.guild.icon.url
        if icon == None:
            await ctx.send('Este servidor no tiene ícono.')
        else:
            em = discord.Embed(title='Este es el ícono de este servidor.', color= discord.Color.red())
            em.set_image(url=icon)
            em.set_footer(text=f'Pedido por {ctx.author}', icon_url=f'{ctx.author.avatar.url}')

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

Does it help how do I make when there is no icon, send a text saying so?

[valid galleon]

dropdowns arent in discord.py and will never be. if you want the features like slash commands, buttons, dropdowns, etc, use a fork of d.py like pycord. your old code will still work.

[sick talon]

oh ok

[boreal ravine]

Isn't those select menus?

[valid galleon]

they may add the dropdowns which are in d.js soon though

but most other features are already added

[boreal ravine]

Isn't dropdown menus already in djs

[valid galleon]

is it?

[boreal ravine]

yeah ig rythm has dropdown menus which uses djs

[visual island]

djs has 100% coverage currently

[valid galleon]

i thought rythm used java

java is the best for music bots, but its pretty bad for general ones

so most music bots used it

[valid galleon]

nevermind, i read d.js as d.py lol

:/ whats wrong

[grim oar]

What error

The user was not found, probably recheck the id

[brisk helm]

member = ctx.guild.get_member(id here)
await member.send("text")```

[slate swan]

u = await bot.fetch_user(id)
await u.send("dm")

[grim oar]

Also check if you are passing the id as int

[boreal ravine]

o

[grim oar]

Uhh i won't recommend doing it like that, but most probably the member isn't cached

!d discord.Guild.fetch_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_member

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

Retrieves a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") from a guild ID, and a member ID.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_member()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild.get_member "discord.Guild.get_member") instead.

[slate swan]

maybe its because your channel var is inside an if statement, idk much about this, but it must be that channel is None

nvm i think its not the problem

but python must recognize channel as None

so, your channel here doesnt return anything successfully, try checking your code again

[visual island]

in your discord.utils.get() you don't need to pass overwrites there. Also if channel is not None means that channel exists already, instead do you mean if channel is None?

[shell wing]

i wanna make a check that if the channel already exists then the bot doesnt make a channecl

[visual island]

if channel is not None means that channel exists already, instead do you mean if channel is None?

[shell wing]

is None...ill try it

[shell wing]

not working its still making multiple channels

[visual island]

new code?

and what library are you using anyway?

[shell wing]

channel = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.channels,
                                             name=f'{ctx.author.name} ticket')
            
            if channel is None:
                  channell = await ctx.guild.create_text_channel(
                    f'{ctx.author.name} ticket', overwrites=overwrites)
                  tickty = discord.Embed(
                  title=f"Ticket for {ctx.author.name}",
                  description=
                  "`Close` for closing the ticket \n `Save` for saving the ticket in `Archived Tickets` requires admin permissions (Please dont change the name of the channel and the category",
                  color=0x530101)

[sweet merlin]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):

        await message.reply('hello!')
    await bot.process_commands(message)```
i want to make the message that start with hi, Hi, hI(like allow caplock)

[slate swan]

{ctx.author.name} ticket are u sure this is a valid channel name? @shell wing

[grim oar]

message.content.lower().startswith

[maiden fable]

message.content.lower().startswith

[sweet merlin]

ok thanks

[maiden fable]

Won't work... Spaces are replaced with hyphens

[slate swan]

can anyone suggest a fun command, i will try to make it

[shell wing]

its a ticket channel name so yea...

[slate swan]

i thought discord channels have dashes

wat

[maiden fable]

Isn't that what I said....?

[shell wing]

i didnt..get it...

[maiden fable]

-ticket not ticket

[shell wing]

they doe when the bot makes one they are with -

[shell wing]

k

[shell wing]

did that still not working

and well there are sometimes spaces in user names too...so ig that they are causing an issue ??

[maiden fable]

Yea

!d str.replace use this

[unkempt canyon]

str.replace

str.replace(old, new[, count])```
Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old* replaced by *new*. If the optional argument *count* is given, only the first *count* occurrences are replaced.

[shell wing]

count...

[slate swan]

str(ctx.author).replace(" ", "-")

this should work

[maiden fable]

Yea

[shell wing]

eh lol str here is ?

[slate swan]

thats useless, but in cases when the object isnt a string itd be handy

you can remove them if u want

[shell wing]

it aint working..ill try to do the count one

[maiden fable]

Don't

[shell wing]

?

[sweet merlin]

message.content.contains()
it wont work

[maiden fable]

@slate swan BTW you need only 14 Boosts for Level 3 now

[slate swan]

whyd you ping me lol

[maiden fable]

Idk

[slate swan]

[sweet merlin]

any help/

[shell wing]

what do u mean ?

[maiden fable]

What's it about?

[maiden fable]

Don't use the count arg

[maiden fable]

The one u have to rewrite, yea

[slate swan]

well we will commit to a repo, but im not hosting the bot on github tho

hello hunter

the old code, yes

[maiden fable]

Ah, unicode problems

Try printing the channel name in your code. I am damn sure it will be different cz of unicode

[slate swan]

so wanna collab?

gtg now dm if u want to

[maiden fable]

Hmm

[maiden fable]

So the unicode is correct

[shell wing]

prob yes lol

[shell wing]

so like the issue is ?

[maiden fable]

Well

I don't really know tbh

Can I see the code again?

Where u check for an existing channel?

[shell wing]

#discord-bots message

[ocean leaf]

maybe i am trying

[sweet merlin]

how do i make 2 command to one reply?

elif 'rip bozo' or 'ripbozo' in message.content.lower():
            await message.reply('https://tenor.com/view/rip-bozo-ripus-bozus-nik0321-unlive2774-potato-chip-smoker-bozo-gif-21079712')``` but it didnt work, it will reply all word and other character

[maiden fable]

!or

[unkempt canyon]

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

[sweet merlin]

what is ! means?

[maiden fable]

That's the prefix. But read the embed please

[sweet merlin]

ok

[slate swan]

Is their a module to keep command logs of your discord bot?

[maiden fable]

Like whenever a person invokes a command or something?

[slate swan]

Yes

[sweet merlin]

didnt work

[maiden fable]

!d discord.on_command @slate swan

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_command

discord.on_command(ctx)```
An event that is called when a command is found and is about to be invoked.

This event is called regardless of whether the command itself succeeds via error or completes.

[slate swan]

Thanks

[maiden fable]

Ah

[sweet merlin]

just ignore the file name and folder name :>

[slate swan]

#python-discussion

[ocean leaf]

.....

[sweet merlin]

because you use clients = commands.Bot(command_prefix="*")

[ocean leaf]

all messages

[sweet merlin]

can i invite you to my dummy server?

[slate swan]

Sure

[meager whale]

How can I fix this error

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def banner(ctx, *,  bannermember : discord.Member=None):
    if bannermember == None:
     bannermember = ctx.author
    userBannerUrl = bannermember.banner_url
    embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{ctx.author}'s banner", color=0x030203)
    embed.set_image(url=user.banner.url)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

what did i do wrong

[meager whale]

Guys my bot is now working like it says that bot is ready but its responding

Like I created a command by which whenever I say hello the bot will say hi but the bot is not responding

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands

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

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") if so.

[slate swan]

Add that at the bottom of your on_message event

[meager whale]

Umm can you send screenshot

[slate swan]

Read the error

[slate swan]

???

Do u have an on_message event

[slate swan]

Ok i did

[slate swan]

Yeah, now yk what's wrong

user instead of member?

No

That attribute doesn't exist

so what should i do

It's .banner.url

[meager whale]

This is my code, now where shall I add it

[slate swan]

.banner returns an asset object

[slate swan]

Ah mb, u don't seem to have it

[slate swan]

Did u restart

And use your prefix

Did u restart

Bro my internet 😭😭

[slate swan]

Yeah that should work

[meager whale]

@slate swan my error is fixed

I was not using the prefix

[slate swan]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[sweet merlin]

if u want use it without prefix, use

if message.content.startswith("yourcommand"):

[slate swan]

hello

i wanted to ask something

what does "@client.event" mean?

[slate swan]

U can also make ur prefix be " " which will make commands with no prefix

[sweet merlin]

eh?

[slate swan]

It's a decorator that registers an event

[sweet merlin]

never try that

[slate swan]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

thank you

[sweet merlin]

i think it wont work

[slate swan]

can someone also tell me what "async" means?

[sweet merlin]

When you have an asynchronous function (coroutine) in Python, you declare it with async def, which changes how its call behaves. In particular, calling it will immediately return a coroutine object, which basically says "I can run the coroutine with the arguments you called with and return a result when you await me"
from google

[slate swan]

It will

[sweet merlin]

I just tried it

[meager whale]

OK thanks buddy

[slate swan]

It should work

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[sweet merlin]

no?

i think space is a string too

i did run "hi" and " hi" and it still wont work

[slate swan]

Did u restart too

[sweet merlin]

ye

[sweet merlin]

yep 100% it wont work if u use " " prefix

[slate swan]

Weird

[maiden fable]

How to check who invoked the help command with commands.HelpCommand?

wait nvm. prepare_help_command can be used

[hoary gust]

@maiden fable help

[maiden fable]

Yea?

[hoary gust]

Is it necessary to run the dashboard and the bot on the same machine to use ipc

[maiden fable]

no

[hoary gust]

I got a error

[maiden fable]

???

[hoary gust]

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

I never used ipc, so cannot help you, Sorry

[hoary gust]

Ah ok

[errant shuttle]

@hoary gust

[hoary gust]

Here

[errant shuttle]

idk if i can actually help u

[hoary gust]

@errant shuttle I need help regarding ipc

[errant shuttle]

but i could try

[hoary gust]

^

[errant shuttle]

whats that? ipc

hmmmmm

[untold token]

It does

If you pass an empty string

It would work

But make sure its
""

Not
" "

That space matters

[hoary gust]

Someone help

[untold token]

Are you trying to run Lavalink?

[hoary gust]

No I am using ipc to make my dashboard@untold token

[untold token]

No that " " wont work
Just pass ""

And then it would work

[untold token]

So that's the error you are getting?

[hoary gust]

Yep

[untold token]

.event basically waits for an event to happen / registers it

[untold token]

Usually that error means the connection wasn't properly made

To the port you defined to

[hoary gust]

U mean I have issue with the port?@untold token

[untold token]

Yes, most likely

Whatever you are trying to connect is not properly hosted on port 2000

[hoary gust]

But my port is something like 54316

[sweet merlin]

it work if it was "" and not " "

[untold token]

That's why aiohttp cannot connect to it

[untold token]

Yeah I said that

[hoary gust]

@untold token u mean I need to set my port as 20000

[untold token]

Yes

Not 20000

2000

[hoary gust]

Well there is 20000 written@untold token

[untold token]

Port 2333
Port 3030

Are the common ones

[dim vapor]

yo can we edit a ephemeral message?
like this:
https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/vrE4ib4IDgiFqgRD-Gk2O63JYiiOIA6LTQ8q71mETVA/https/i.imgur.com/rXhBxvN.mp4

[untold token]

Show your code?

[untold token]

Yes you can

[dim vapor]

i tried normally how u edit normal messages but it doesn't work

[untold token]

Code?

[dim vapor]

code for current inter edit where self_inter is inter.message

await self_inter.edit(content=">>> **`>` Select the games you play!**\n_ _", components=[row1, row])

(switching to disnake.py(forked from discord.py))

[untold token]

Well then refer docs

[dim vapor]

its not there

[untold token]

Of disnake

[dim vapor]

:/

[untold token]

Well ask support for it on github I guess

I don't know about that library

[dim vapor]

like how do u usually edit in discord.py tho?

[untold token]

I only know about nextcord

[untold token]

message.edit()

[dim vapor]

how do u do that?

oh

[untold token]

Message should be the message object

[dim vapor]

ya

[untold token]

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

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

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

Changed in version 1.3: The `suppress` keyword-only parameter was added.

[dim vapor]

i get "Unknown Message"

[velvet tinsel]

Cool

[untold token]

Well its ephemeral

[dim vapor]

for ephemeral message alone

[dim vapor]

ya thats the problem

[untold token]

That message is temporary

[dim vapor]

agg

so like how can i edit it when its in that temp time

[untold token]

Ohhh

It doesn't edit the message

It just sends a new ephemeral message

If it would have edited it, there should be a sign that says edited

[dim vapor]

oh but how does it dismiss the previous one?

[untold token]

Like this.

[dim vapor]

oh ya forgot that 🤔

[dim vapor]

is it possible?

[untold token]

Editing ephemeral message isn't possible, idts

[dim vapor]

ya i get it

[untold token]

You need to remove the previous message and send a new one

[dim vapor]

but liek sending new one and dismissign the previous one is possable?

[untold token]

Refer to docs of disnake

[dim vapor]

how do u do in nextcord or original discord.py?

bcause disnake is like exactly similar to the original discord.py

or ig i will switch to nextcord

[untold token]

I have never used ephemeral messages really

[untold token]

That won't help you

[meager whale]

How can I make a welcome command for my discord bot

[untold token]

You would still need to figure out

[dim vapor]

hmm

let me check now ig

[untold token]

You need an on_member_join event and db

[meager whale]

How do I add them

[untold token]

The db will store channel where the welcome messages need to send

For eg

@bot.listen() # decorator that listen for events
async def on_member_join(member):
   channel = bot.get_channel(welcome_channel_ID) # the channel ID where the welcome messages need to be send.
# this method will get channel object from the ID of channel
   await channel.send("Member joined")```

This is a simple example of on_member_join event

[hoary gust]

@untold token

[untold token]

Can you show your code?

[hoary gust]

of what backend or the html file?

[hasty iron]

honestly, you should just use 2.0

[shell wing]

discord-components

[shell wing]

me ?

[hasty iron]

yes you

[shell wing]

oh

discord-components is 2.0

[hasty iron]

views will make your life alot easier

[hoary gust]

@hasty iron help

i got another kind of error

[hasty iron]

what kind of error

[shell wing]

oh

[hoary gust]

^

[shell wing]

but like can u tell me how to solve it ?

[hasty iron]

are you trying to connect to websockets from your browser

[hoary gust]

i am using ipc

[hasty iron]

how about

we see the code

[untold token]

Backend ofc

[hoary gust]

ok

[shell wing]

 if time_difference < 120:
          if ctx.custom_id == 'c_ticket':
              
``` this wont work right ?

[untold token]

The code where you are connecting with

[hoary gust]

well i took help from a tutorial, so plz dont get angry on me cause i am just learning how to work with ipc

@app.route("/dashboard")
async def dashboard():
    if not await discord.authorized:
        return redirect(url_for("login")) 

    guild_count = await ipc_client.request("get_guild_count")
    guild_ids = await ipc_client.request("get_guild_ids")

    user_guilds = await discord.fetch_guilds()

    guilds = []

    for guild in user_guilds:
        if guild.permissions.administrator:            
            guild.class_color = "green-border" if guild.id in guild_ids else "red-border"
            guilds.append(guild)

    guilds.sort(key = lambda x: x.class_color == "red-border")
    name = (await discord.fetch_user()).name
    return await render_template("dashboard.html", guild_count = guild_count, guilds = guilds, username=name)

@untold token@hasty iron

[hasty iron]

your server returned an invalid status code response when the client sent a request to connect i guess?

[untold token]

Is this swastik's tutorial?

[hasty iron]

your server should return a 101(?) switching protocols http status code response

[hoary gust]

yea but we modified the backend

[hasty iron]

and by server and client i mean ipc ofc

[hoary gust]

except the dashboard route and the login

[hasty iron]

also can you send the full error

[hoary gust]

well i am running the dashboard and the bot in different machines

[hoary gust]

well its repl, so lemme send the ss

@hasty iron

guild_count = await ipc_client.request("get_guild_count")

this line is causing the error

[untold token]

What's the error

[knotty barn]

pls bal

oops

[boreal ravine]

idk what ipc is but why is get guild count a string

o nvm

[hoary gust]

@untold token

[untold token]

Invalid response status hmm

[hoary gust]

what should i do?

[heavy radish]

Where's somewhere I can save my code? Like on discord I can't send a lot of words

[untold token]

!pastebin

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[hoary gust]

@untold token in the console bot didnt print that the server is ready but why

isint is supposed to be ready on its own

?

[untold token]

Well, I don't really get why its showing that

[heavy radish]

Hm....okay! I will try it out

[hoary gust]

bot is just printing that it is online but not the ipc server

class MyBot(commands.Bot):

    def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args,**kwargs)

        self.ipc = ipc.Server(self,secret_key = "zzz")

    async def on_ready(self):
        """Called upon the READY event"""
        print("Bot is ready.")

    async def on_ipc_ready(self):
        """Called upon the IPC Server being ready"""
        print("Ipc server is ready.")

    async def on_ipc_error(self, endpoint, error):
        """Called upon an error being raised within an IPC route"""
        print(endpoint, "raised", error)

[untold token]

Hmm try
self.wait_until_ready() method

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_until\_ready

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

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

[hoary gust]

self.bot.wait_until_ready()?

[untold token]

Not bot

[hoary gust]

ok

[untold token]

self is already bot instance that you subclassed

[hoary gust]

self.wait_until_ready(MyBot)

[untold token]

No....

Read the docs please

[hoary gust]

wait a sec i am doing this in my main file

[maiden fable]

And read about some OOP also

[hoary gust]

i need to do bot not self

[untold token]

You subclassed commands.Bot as MyBot

[hoary gust]

its the main file not any cog

[hoary gust]

yes

[slate swan]

Please learn what OOP is and how python works

[untold token]

^

[maiden fable]

Yea

[untold token]

And the self is the instance of MyBot

[hoary gust]

well can u plz tell me what should i do for now cause i will learn about OOP but a bit later

[maiden fable]

Bro...

[slate swan]

Why do people keep getting in libs that aren't easy for beginners and require some knowledge when they have 0 knowledge of python like bruh

[slate swan]

You've already been told

[maiden fable]

You are tryna drive a car without knowing how to change the gears, no offense

[hoary gust]

i got the issue

lemme fix this

[untold token]

Your IPC isn't connecting because your bot and ipc both are trying to connect at the same time

[hoary gust]

i forgot to start the server

lol

[untold token]

self.wait_until_ready would make your code wait until the bot ready and then ipc will connect

[hoary gust]

^^

[untold token]

Oh okay

[shell wing]

@commands.Cog.listener()

[heavy folio]

hi, anyone has any idea how to use tagscript in discord.py? searched youtube and cant find anything. i wanna try and allow people to make custom commands

[maiden fable]

https://github.com/JonSnowbd/TagScript

Try seeing the documentation folder

[stark bobcat]

hi

[maiden fable]

Ah hey there again BugCat!

[stark bobcat]

Hey

[maiden fable]

Hi

[hoary gust]

@untold token is it necessary to run the bot and the dashboard on the same machine to run the ipc

[sick talon]

@help.command()
  async def lock(self, ctx):
    colors = [0xFFE4E1, 0x00FF7F, 0xD8BFD8, 0xDC143C, 0xFF4500, 0xDEB887, 0xADFF2F, 0x800000, 0x4682B4, 0x006400, 0x808080, 0xA0522D, 0xF08080, 0xC71585, 0xFFB6C1, 0x00CED1]
    em13 = discord.Embed(title="Lock :lock:",description="A lock command through which the admin,mods of the server can lock the text channels of the server",color = random.choice(colors))
    em13.add_field(name="__**NOTE**__",value="You will require mod or admin role to run this command")
    em13.add_field(ame="__**Syntax**__",value="`fl.lock [channel] (reason)`")
    await ctx.send(embed=em13)

bot isnt responding to fl.help lock but i have coded fl.help mute in the similar manner and bot is responding to that idk why ?

  #Help mute command
  @help.command()
  async def mute(self, ctx):
    colors = [0xFFE4E1, 0x00FF7F, 0xD8BFD8, 0xDC143C, 0xFF4500, 0xDEB887, 0xADFF2F, 0x800000, 0x4682B4, 0x006400, 0x808080, 0xA0522D, 0xF08080, 0xC71585, 0xFFB6C1, 0x00CED1]

    em10 = discord.Embed(
    title="Mute 🔇",
    description="A mute command through which the admin,mods of the the server can mute the server members",
    color = random.choice(colors)
    )
    em10.add_field(name="__**NOTE**__",value="You will require mod or admin role to run this command")
    em10.add_field(name="__**Syntax**__", value="`fl.mute [user] (reason)`")
    await ctx.send(embed=em10)

[stark bobcat]

Don't know what you mean by bugcat but sure

[maiden fable]

The name of the person

[stark bobcat]

oh

mb

[hasty iron]

ipc is "inter process communication" so ofc?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand subclass this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

class discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand(**options)```
The base implementation for help command formatting.

Note

Internally instances of this class are deep copied every time the command itself is invoked to prevent a race condition mentioned in [GH-2123](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/2123).

This means that relying on the state of this class to be the same between command invocations would not work as expected.

[hoary gust]

wait a sec i need to run it it the same machine?

[maiden fable]

They are making a dashboard...

[maiden fable]

No lmao

[hasty iron]

then whats the point of the ipc

[sick talon]

there isnt any error popping the console as well

[hasty iron]

ipc lets you connect between two programs on the same machine

[maiden fable]

Well I think they are using discord.ext.ipc

[hasty iron]

thats still ipc?

[hoary gust]

yes i am using discord.ext.ipc

[hasty iron]

well discord.ext.ipc connects and starts a server on localhost so yes

[maiden fable]

The package name is discord.ext.ipc and is used to make dashboard, sooo

[hasty iron]

you need it to be on the same machine

[hasty iron]

ipc can be used to do other things

literally anything between 2 programs

[maiden fable]

Yea, but most of the people use it to make dashboards

[hoary gust]

well i have a main bot file and a backend file so how will i run 2 files at a time

[sick talon]

@maiden fable ?
the bot is just ignoring that command

[hoary gust]

@maiden fable is it even possible?

[hasty iron]

actually, you're using quart right?

[hoary gust]

yes

@hasty iron

[hasty iron]

wait

[hoary gust]

ok

waiting

[hasty iron]

ok so quart.Quart has the run_task function

you can do something like

[hoary gust]

wdym?

[sick talon]

but there is no error popping in the console :lemon_angrysad:

[maiden fable]

Do u have an error handler?

[hasty iron]

@hoary gust

then you can run bot.py and it would run the web server too

[sick talon]

yeah that is only for the cooldown part

[maiden fable]

Wait

Do u have an else clause?

[sick talon]

ahh found it

[maiden fable]

?

Hey guys

I wanna learn how to make a Music bot

[maiden fable]

Against ToS

[meager whale]

Oh ok

Sorry

Pls don't ban me

[hasty iron]

unless you use your own music

and only ncs music

[meager whale]

Ohk

Soooo @hasty iron I am a Music producer so what if I use my music and songs from NCS

[hasty iron]

then you can freely make a music bot without breaking any tos or laws

[meager whale]

Ok

Thanks 😄

[hoary gust]

hey one more question

[hasty iron]

yes?

[hoary gust]

what to put in the place of *args and **kwargs

[hasty iron]

the positional and keyword arguments that that function takes

[hoary gust]

ah i am still comfused

[hasty iron]

?

just read the docs

[hoary gust]

i mean what args shall i keep there

[hasty iron]

read the docs

[hoary gust]

discord.py docs?

[hasty iron]

....

quart docs

[hoary gust]

ok lemme

[slate swan]

Any who can help it not send gif?

[maiden fable]

It takes two args

[hasty iron]

they have the args correct

filename is optional

[maiden fable]

Ah yea. Saw that after running the command. Mb

[hoary gust]

can i run it like this

async def run():
  app.run(host="0.0.0.0", debug = True ,port=20000)

[hasty iron]

app.run blocks

app.run_task has the exact same arguments

[hoary gust]

ok

[dapper cobalt]

I really should stick to discord.py, because this isn't code, this is crap.

[hasty iron]

its called "another language other than python that uses a difference coding style"

[hoary gust]

@hasty iron

[hasty iron]

your ipc server is running on that port

why are you setting your webserver's port to 20000?

it should be 8080 or 8888

[hoary gust]

20000 is only working else a error is occuring

[hasty iron]

what

[hoary gust]

yes

[hasty iron]

that doesnt make sense, your webserver should be running on 8080

[hoary gust]

i will be talking after a few mins

[untold token]

Yes

[slate swan]

using elif and receiving "Expected expression Pylance"

what am i doing wrong

[hasty iron]

who knows

would be good if we saw the code

[slate swan]

@client.event() async def on_message(message): username = str(message.author).split('#')[0] user_message = str(message.content) if message.channel.name == 'chat': if user_message.lower() == 'hello': await message.channel.send(f'Sup {username}?') elif user_message.lower == 'bye': await message.channel.send(f'Later {username}!')

[sick talon]

hey hi
umm..
so the lock is working but it isn't locking the channel where i am running the channel like for example i am running the command in #general so fl.lock #general this isnt working but for example i ran the command in #staff-chat fl.lock #general this is working

  #Lock command

umm.. so whats the issue ?

[sick talon]

ohh ok

[boreal ravine]

Argument*

[slate swan]

thoughts ?

[maiden fable]

Good

[brave vessel]

I love the discord UI

[stark bobcat]

is it possible to make a argument optional

[brave vessel]

Working on this for Lancebot

[slate swan]

=None

[brave vessel]

What are you trying to do exactly though?

[untold token]

Yes you can

[slate swan]

member=None

if member is None

[brave vessel]

You can also use typing.Optional

[untold token]

async def func(ctx,* ,args=None): 
   ...```

[stark bobcat]

how

[untold token]

This too

[stark bobcat]

so if user does not give arguments it will not spill error

[untold token]

Argument args would be optional so if you don't pass any thing, it would be None

[stark bobcat]

oh

ok thanks

[untold token]

So if an user types the command sui

You want to make user say F ?

Oh you want to pay respect to someone? Like another user?

So you need to use context for this

ctx.author aka Context.author returns the Member object of who ever invoked the command

So

For example

@bot.command()
async def somecommand(ctx):
  await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author} used this command")```

The first argument of the function takes ctx aka context object
.author attribute returns member object of who invoked the command and in an f string it shows their name and tag and the message where command was invoked ctx.send()

Hm np

[boreal ravine]

  await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author} payed respects to {member.name}")

[untold token]

{ ]

It would raise a syntax error

[boreal ravine]

define if then

[untold token]

That means you didn't define bot

[dapper cobalt]

You forgot to initialize it.

[hasty iron]

and when you instantiate the view, do about(bot=self.bot) or whatever

[dapper cobalt]

class about(discord.ui.view):
  def __init__(self, bot):
    self.bot = bot

[untold token]

Yeah you didn't add the bot argument

[hasty iron]

nice spoonfeed

[dapper cobalt]

No problem.

[untold token]

Eh it's not really spoonfeed lol

[boreal ravine]

Cool

[hasty iron]

cross post lol

[untold token]

Crossposting 🍋

[drifting arrow]

@boreal ravine

i crossposted your crosspost

[rancid light]

Hello

[drifting arrow]

hi

[boreal ravine]

Why shitpost

[boreal ravine]

shitpost= ban ez

[rancid light]

i was trying cogs and this error came

[rancid light]

Hey!

[drifting arrow]

@rancid light you spelled extension wrong

[boreal ravine]

extension

[reef shell]

[high flame]

args would be one string

[rancid light]

ohhh

[high flame]

if you want a list of strings you should do *args

[rancid light]

mb sry for the trouble

[drifting arrow]

dw happens to us all. we're cruising on by when we forget we have to know how to spell good and suddenly boom. mispell the word

this is why i use aliases.

[untold token]

That would take a list of strings

,* ,

Is called consume rest operator

[high flame]

nah it's one string "x y", *args will give you ["x", "y"]

[hasty iron]

("x", "y")

[untold token]

If you pass multiple strings, it will take them all

[hasty iron]

*args is a tuple

[untold token]

*args would convert it to tuple

[high flame]

k

but *, args is not a list

[rancid light]

okay but i am having another error

[high flame]

self.bot == bot

um or no

show code

[hasty iron]

== is for comparision

[rancid light]

ok

[valid perch]

should be just 1

[high flame]

use =

[hasty iron]

= is for assignment

[rancid light]

in main.py

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os

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

@bot.command()
async def load(ctx, extension):
    bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

@bot.command()
async def unload(ctx, extension):
    bot.unload_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')    

for filename in os.listdir('D:\Coding\Python\Cogs_test\cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')  ```

[high flame]

show the cog

[rancid light]

in cogs

[high flame]

following youtube tutorials

[rancid light]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class Example(commands.Cog):

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

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Bot Ready!")    



    @commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("pong")

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Example(bot))      ```

[drifting arrow]

yeah

[high flame]

self.bot = bot

[rancid light]

yeah

[drifting arrow]

probs tech with tim

[untold token]

Not ==

self.bot = bot

[rancid light]

ok

[drifting arrow]

"self.bot == bot" first error. single = is assigning, double is comparison

[untold token]

tech with Tim tuts are old

[high flame]

you won't learn anything from that lol

read the docs

[rancid light]

not him

[rancid light]

ok

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQw8cFfZPx0&t=1003s

[drifting arrow]

May be old but still good enough to get a start. from there you can move on.

[rancid light]

i tried from this ^

[drifting arrow]

oh right yeah thats good too

[hasty iron]

docs have examples for cogs

you dont need vids

[untold token]

Lucas is old too

[hasty iron]

and if you couldnt understand the examples, you lack python knowledge

[high flame]

or use vcokltfre.dev

[untold token]

If you really want updated tutorials go watch carberra tutorials

[untold token]

Yeah this too

[warm terrace]

how to make the song queue in the music discord bot, like if i want to play a song then queue another song, how do i do that ?

[untold token]

You need to use asyncio.queue class

[hasty iron]

class*

!d asyncio.Queue

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.Queue

class asyncio.Queue(maxsize=0)```
A first in, first out (FIFO) queue.

If *maxsize* is less than or equal to zero, the queue size is infinite. If it is an integer greater than `0`, then `await put()` blocks when the queue reaches *maxsize* until an item is removed by [`get()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-queue.html#asyncio.Queue.get "asyncio.Queue.get").

Unlike the standard library threading [`queue`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/queue.html#module-queue "queue: A synchronized queue class."), the size of the queue is always known and can be returned by calling the [`qsize()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-queue.html#asyncio.Queue.qsize "asyncio.Queue.qsize") method.

This class is [not thread safe](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/asyncio-dev.html#asyncio-multithreading).

[untold token]

Ye this

You need to use the .getand .put methods to add / remove your songs

[untold token]

Thanks for pointing it out

[hasty iron]

actually now i want to make my own Queue class lol

[untold token]

Good luck lol
