[jagged hamlet]

PyCharm, and I don't know anything about me creating an event loop...

No, it happens on each run, and my bot just isn't functioning due to it

[hasty iron]

can you send your code

[jolly glacier]

Windows for daily use and gaming and Linux for programming and wasting your life trying to figure out issues on stackoverflow

[jagged hamlet]

Do you need all of it?

[hasty iron]

well

can you actually send the full traceback

[jagged hamlet]

that was the full traceback.

[hasty iron]

usually thats not the full error when you run your code and that error pops up

[jolly glacier]

He’s using pycharm so I’m pretty sure thats the full error?

[jagged hamlet]

@jolly glacier @hasty iron Code, as requested:
https://paste.pydis.com/koqobiqeka.py

[jolly glacier]

Thx

[hasty iron]

most of the time its the ImproperToken error

or whatever its called

[jagged hamlet]

No, it's not that

My token is definitely valid (it's been used in test scripts)

and it is passed in identically

[jolly glacier]

Maybe regenerate your token?

[hasty iron]

i dont think what you sent is the full traceback tbh

[jolly glacier]

I’m inputting the code into repl

[jagged hamlet]

I could send you a screenshot, if you wish - I guarantee you that's the entire traceback that I see in the console

[hasty iron]

okay send a ss

[jolly glacier]

He is using pycharm, usually pycharm doesn’t like dealing with tracebacks

[hasty iron]

there is nothing on top of that?

[jagged hamlet]

as you can see, that's all I have :p

[jolly glacier]

I’ve got to head out for a little while bye, hope you figure out a fix

[jagged hamlet]

I have the PyCharm run configuration stuff, plus a debug print message

thanks!

[hasty iron]

can you run your code outside pycharm

[jagged hamlet]

Exactly the same.

(just without the highlighting)

and [SESSION ENDED] is just my debug message that gets printed after bot.run()

[hasty iron]

so it just skips bot.run

huh

[jagged hamlet]

it seems to attempt bot.run

but fails, without telling me where

[hasty iron]

do you have a WSL

[jagged hamlet]

yep

[hasty iron]

can you try running it there

[jagged hamlet]

sure, ill setup a venv

(Also, with some more digging, PyCharm debug tells me that the exception happens when discord.ext.commands.Bot.start() is called)

[hasty iron]

hm

oh wait

the docs say, start is a combination of login and connect

you have only login

just call super().start(*args, **kwargs)

[jagged hamlet]

...i think i figured it out, yeah

[hasty iron]

pycharm actually helped pagman

[jagged hamlet]

well, it works now

Thanks a lot for helping!

i really am nothing without my traceback huh

[high flame]

what/who's pagman

[hasty iron]

a twitch emote

[high flame]

ah i got it

[sweet merlin]

how to make commands cooldown and send a custom message?

[high flame]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=<BucketType.default: 0>)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.on_command_error "discord.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[hasty iron]

If a cooldown is triggered, then CommandOnCooldown is triggered in on_command_error() and the local error handler.

[high flame]

!d discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown

exception discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown(cooldown, retry_after)```
Exception raised when the command being invoked is on cooldown.

This inherits from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError")

[willow vine]

if i want an arguement to be 2 words, like a single arguement

how do i do that

@bot.commands()
async def test(ctx,arg1,arg2):
  pass```

here i want arg 1 to be of 2 words

[hasty iron]

when passing the argument you can do <prefix>test "this is arg1" arg2

[livid roost]

guys could you please help i dont know what this error means

[surreal sierra]

Is it possible to make two different cooldowns on a command for different roles? So one role has a cooldown on 30 seocnds but the other role has a cooldown on 15 seconds

[high flame]

can you read your error?

[hoary gust]

Guys what is better Ipc or Api

[slate swan]

!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.

[hoary gust]

Guys what is better Ipc or Api

[hasty iron]

both accomplish different things

you cant compare them or say whats "better"

[hoary gust]

@hasty iron what is better for dashboard

[hasty iron]

most people use ipc for dashboards to communicate with their bot

[hoary gust]

@hasty iron ipc isin't working with me lol

I am not even able to connect to the backend

[hasty iron]

ur using discord.ext.ipc?

[hoary gust]

Only getting a freaking error

[hoary gust]

Yes

[hasty iron]

ive seen somebody on the discord.py server saying to use zmq rather than that for IPC

[hoary gust]

Lol now wth is ZMQ

[hasty iron]

https://zeromq.org/

https://zeromq.org/languages/python/

[hoary gust]

Wait a sec how th can it help me

[hasty iron]

it can be used for ipc

[hoary gust]

For ipc or in replacement of ipc?@hasty iron

[hasty iron]

what

[slate swan]

Guys, how do I display the time when the message was sent to embed? Discord.py

[hoary gust]

@hasty iron well maybe yes it can be used

It's kinda ipc

But yea better

[sweet merlin]

how do i fix this?

    @commands.command()
    @commands.is_owner()
    async def saran(self, message, ctx, *, args):
        channel = self.bot.get_channel(887908566382571580)
        await channel.send(f"{message.author.mention} saran: {args}")```

it works but the problem is, when i run this command, it will send the second argument 
example
input: hello world

output:
world

[hasty iron]

why do you have message, ctx

[sweet merlin]

message is for ping the author of the message

message.author.mention

[hasty iron]

and the ctx?

[sweet merlin]

ctx is ctx?

[hasty iron]

ok so what are those two doing there

[sweet merlin]

wait it is the same?

[hasty iron]

normally, a command has its first argument as?

[sweet merlin]

ctx?

[hasty iron]

yes

message isnt supplied

[sweet merlin]

wait so message is the same as ctx?

[hasty iron]

ctx is Context and message is Message

[sweet merlin]

thanks!! i got it

[supple thorn]

[keen talon]

so no one needs help rn

[slate swan]

bot.user is None here , could you show more of the code?

[full lily]

bot.user is None when the bot isn't logged in

[slate swan]

Guys, how do I display the time when the message was sent to embed? Discord.py

define your lavalink client after bot is ready

[spring flax]

i am not sure what this client_secret is but as the name suggests it seems to be something that should not be leaked and you have done just that.

[slate swan]

mhm

[rare saddle]

ohh, thanks

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed.timestamp this is what you need ig

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.timestamp

The timestamp of the embed content. This could be a naive or aware datetime.

[rare saddle]

Can you please tell me what to write here?

[slate swan]

delete "pass"

[hollow mortar]

hello

i have a question do discord can bots play songs from spotify

or its against discord tos like youtube ?

[final iron]

Whatever you want

[rare saddle]

#discord-bots message

[final iron]

I've never used Spotify api so idk what the secret does but id suggest reuploading the image without the credentials

Just in case

[dense swallow]

if anyone knows sqlite3 pls come to #databases

[surreal sierra]

Does anyone know why this does not work?

await ctx.send(embed=random.choice(errormsg)).delete(delay=4)
``` the msg gets sent but it doesnt get deleted after the delay, why?

[full lily]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.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.

[full lily]

delete_after=4

[surreal sierra]

oh okay, thanks!

it still doesnt work

[stone palm]

what forks yall using 👀

[valid galleon]

so uhh im making a custom prefix command for my bot, and i have this code which uses json to store the data. im not using json, instead im using mongodb. can someone help me convert this code to mongo? im guessing its gonna be similar since mongodb uses BSON

with open("prefixes.json") as f:
    prefixes = json.load(f)
default_prefix = "!"

def prefix(bot, message):
    id = message.server.id
    return prefixes.get(id, default_prefix)

[stone palm]

are you sure youre not using json 🤔

[full lily]

im looking at pycord though they don't have slash command support for cogs yet

[valid galleon]

pycord. rn i moved back to d.py cuz i had some probs with heroku, but gonna update soon

[stone palm]

0of use https://pypi.org/project/disnake - it has slash commands for cogs already and i love how its implemented!!
Surely worth a try

[valid galleon]

i said this code is for json. i want to convert it to work with mongodb

[valid galleon]

pycord alpha has it, but its pretty fucked up rn, so im not gonna use slash commands at the time being lol

[stone palm]

oh just realized, disnake isnt even in alpha anymore lol

pretty stable i gotta say

[slate swan]

async def play(ctx, url):

    voice_client.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(URL))```
its start to play and suddenly stop

[stone palm]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
a slash command would be ```py
@commands.slash_command(name="test", description="idk")
async def test(self, ctx: discord.Interactions):
await ctx.response.send_message("Hello")

that simple

oh late

nvm

[stone palm]

@valid galleon
you can watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE_bJl2GAY8 to learn the basics of pymongo
and then switch to motor using this https://gist.github.com/anand2312/840aeb3e98c3d7dbb3db8b757c1a7ace

motor is preferred for pymongo and discord bots as it is async

[valid galleon]

alright i'll try to code it now

[craggy cloak]

How can my bot play playlists from spotify in VC?

[slate swan]

im trying to do that the bot takes a random image from a site and sends it to the channel but it says syntax error on embed

@client.event
async def waifu(self, ctx, arg): embed = discord.Embed( title = 'waifu',
    description = 'waifu', colour = discord.Colour.purple())embed.set_image(url= "websiteurl.format(arg)) embed.set_footer(text="")")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

lets not talk about the name btw

[slate swan]

help

[valid galleon]

you could try praw(which uses reddit to get the images)

its pretty easy to use too

[slate swan]

ok thanks praw is a module ?

[valid galleon]

yeah, but asyncpraw is recommended since its faster

[slate swan]

ok i can get any random image with it ?

[maiden fable]

Use the JSON API of reddit if u want to just get the memes

[valid galleon]

yeah you can get a random image from the specified subreddit

[valid galleon]

praw is better imo

[slate swan]

ok thanks

[valid galleon]

easier to use as well

[maiden fable]

https://reddit.com/r/memes/hot/.json

[valid galleon]

@slate swan https://youtu.be/Q5u6MDQAG7I this should help

convert the code to asyncpraw once it works

[slate swan]

[keen talon]

u can't ig

[slate swan]

people od it

[valid galleon]

get an invite for the bot from the discord developer portal. you can use the link infinitely. it wont expire

[slate swan]

i want like !join invitecode then the bot joins the server

not a thing?

[slate swan]

Thank you so much

[keen talon]

lol how the person who invites needs invite perms

[valid galleon]

you cant make it join using a command, but you can make it return the invite link once you run the command(as a hyperlink)

[valid galleon]

np

[slate swan]

meh

ok ty

how about using discord api?

think its like Authorization: Bot TOKEN

[valid galleon]

it does use d.py

[slate swan]

huh

[valid galleon]

its a very simple command. just make an embed and put the hyperlink in it

[slate swan]

yes but i wanna auto mate it

its ok

i will use network n that

[keen talon]

saw what ?

[slate nymph]

i have made my bot online using replit now how do i bring it back to offline without changing the code

[stark bobcat]

Did anyone use heroku for hosting their bot

Having some problems with it

[fossil monolith]

use a kill command?

you’ll need to change the code though

[round yarrow]

Im pretty sure there is an stop button on the screen on repl it
you just hit that and your bot goes offline

[slate nymph]

i mean its fine unless its not much of a major code change

[slate nymph]

i ll see that

[slate nymph]

thank you

[round yarrow]

np

[boreal ravine]

1. click stop
2. make a command and do await client.close or something i forgot

[slate nymph]

i m not sure why but your replit looks different from mine @round yarrow

there is no stop button aswell

can ya tell me why

[slate swan]

it gaved me this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\guest\Downloads\bot.py", line 5, in <module>
reddit = praw.reddit(client_id = "XXXXXXXXXXX",
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

[slate nymph]

why is my replit different from yours

[hasty iron]

praw.Reddit

[slate swan]

different themes?

[slate nymph]

i dont have a stop button either

[slate swan]

and they are using a web server to keep their repl running 24*7 so a webpage appears

[slate swan]

yeah i noticed it now sorry

[slate swan]

you have one on your sidebar ig

[slate nymph]

also my bot is running forever even tho i dont have any web serer

server*

[slate swan]

hacker plan ig

[sweet pilot]

replit gives free hosting

means you kinda have a server in replit. but not exactly

[slate nymph]

wheres the stop button tho?

[sweet pilot]

its a terminal so press ctrl + c

[slate nymph]

in replit?

oh k i got it

GUYS

i dont know but my bot is alway online

[hollow dock]

@bot.command()

        await ctx.send(embed=embed)    

    with open("bank.json","w") as f:
        json.dump(users,f)```

isn't showing any error but not working

any idea what's wrong

[dry pelican]

Hello. I am taking input from the user as : value, first unit and second unit. I want to convert the value from the first unit to the second unit, any idea how will I do that, the units can range from anything

[maiden fable]

wym convert from first to second? Can I know what type of command u wanna make?

[dry pelican]

like i enter

!convert 10mm cm
This should return 1 cm.

[maiden fable]

ah

[dry pelican]

I made one but it is specific to certain units. I need to make it for all units or most of them.

[maiden fable]

You will have to convert yourself

I don't think there is a way to do so in dpy

u can see the math lib if there is something

!d math

[unkempt canyon]

math

This module provides access to the mathematical functions defined by the C standard.

These functions cannot be used with complex numbers; use the functions of the same name from the cmath module if you require support for complex numbers. The distinction between functions which support complex numbers and those which don’t is made since most users do not want to learn quite as much mathematics as required to understand complex numbers. Receiving an exception instead of a complex result allows earlier detection of the unexpected complex number used as a parameter, so that the programmer can determine how and why it was generated in the first place.

[full lily]

message1 is a required argument so it will never be None

[full lily]

what part isnt working

[hollow dock]

Yeah but even if i remove that part the code won't work

[full lily]

that was just something I noticed, not the problem at hand

what part isn't working?

[slate swan]

how check if bot play something now?

check indentation

[maiden fable]

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

ok

How can I do this?

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

2. Tabs or Spaces?

!discord.py

!commands

dammit

[hasty iron]

what are you trying to do

[forest blade]

!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.

[storm brook]

I'm using this bot first time lol

checking some command

[hasty iron]

next time try it in #bot-commands

[storm brook]

Oh yeah I forgot

[slate swan]

didnt do anything

[slate swan]

i put the prefix and it didnt do anything

[reef shell]

what is a Command.signature?

i read the docs but I'm unable to get it

[hasty iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.signature

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.signature

signature```
Returns a POSIX-like signature useful for help command output.

[hasty iron]

!d inspect.signature

[unkempt canyon]

inspect.signature

inspect.signature(callable, *, follow_wrapped=True, globals=None, locals=None, eval_str=False)```
Return a [`Signature`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/inspect.html#inspect.Signature "inspect.Signature") object for the given `callable`...

[dapper cobalt]

Blanket is faster and got a better keyboard.

[hasty iron]

it uses that

[hasty iron]

no lol, i have a membrane

[dapper cobalt]

Do you mean I don't?

[reef shell]

I have a $5 keyboard , poor

[hasty iron]

also if you still dont understand that, you can go and mess around with it a bit

[slate swan]

I'm trying to add a reaction w discords rest api but it shows method not allowed json, is the endpoint wrong or smth?
This is my code

 requests.post("https://discord.com/api/v8/channels/866260548714627073/messages/888086722573910052/reactions", headers=headers, json={'reactions':['✔️']}).json()

[hasty iron]

the error is pretty clear no?

the HTTP method is not allowed for that route

which is POST

[slate swan]

i put the prefix and it doesnt execute the command and it doesnt show a error?

import discord
import time
import praw
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "$animeme", help_command = None)
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
                     client_secret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
                     username = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
                     password = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
                     user_agent = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")

    em = discord.Embed(title = name)

    em.set_image(url = url)
    await ctx.send(embed = em)

[hasty iron]

are you actually running the bot

[slate swan]

yes

[pliant gulch]

Isn't adding reactions supposed to be a PUT request???

And you would need to add authorization headers seems like you are already passing headers

[hasty iron]

oh right, and also its better to have a single requests session (i think)

[hasty iron]

is that all your code?

[slate swan]

yes

[hasty iron]

and use asyncpraw cuz praw is blocking

[maiden fable]

Would be better to use discord.Route cz why not haha

[pliant gulch]

discord.Route and request session are two WHOLE different things

discord.Route doesn't even make a request

[hasty iron]

its discord.http.Route

[pliant gulch]

It represents an endpoint

[slate swan]

where?

[hasty iron]

wdym where

[slate swan]

nah nvm

[hasty iron]

anyways can you add an on_ready event inside your code, print something there, and rerun your code and see if it prints

also

are you sure you're invoking the bot correctly

[slate swan]

me cuz if it is yes it does print

[slate swan]

yes i am

[hasty iron]

cuz the prefix is $animeme

so it would be $animemeanimeme

[slate swan]

didnt do anything

[hasty iron]

errors?

[slate swan]

nah i think i have the problem i put:

client = discord.Client()
client = commands.bot

i should put a 2 in second client right?

[hasty iron]

thats like, way way different from what you sent earilier

[slate swan]

oh sorry

[hasty iron]

why is there two definitions now

and why commands.bot

its commands.Bot

[slate swan]

give me a sec

when streaming audio from a url can you do before_options={'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 1'} in discord.FFmpegPCMAudio? because i do this and i can get it to reconnect after it breaks or smth

[slate swan]

can i do this?
1.

client = commands.Bot
client = discord.Client()

or

client = commands.Bot
client2 = discord.Client()

[grim oar]

No why

[slate swan]

client = commands.Bot()

do this ^

[grim oar]

You are generally recommended to name the instance bot

[slate swan]

bc the instance Client is used for user accounts

[slate swan]

i did in my code

which if you do use it for a user account u will be banned from discord

[grim oar]

What

[slate swan]

its called selfbotting

!selfbot

!ytdl

?

just dont self bot

[grim oar]

but who said anything about selfbots

[slate swan]

yeah

the instance discord.Client is used for user accounts usaly

[slate swan]

can i do option 2 tho?

[grim oar]

No what

[slate swan]

thats why there is commands.Bot

for bots

like my bot

[grim oar]

No, either create Client or Bot

[grim oar]

No lol

[slate swan]

ok so only 1 client

[slate swan]

im not smort 🧠

[grim oar]

Yeah but I will recommend using Bot

[slate swan]

ok i will

[slate swan]

thank you

can you pls help me

when streaming audio from a url can you do before_options={'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 1'} in discord.FFmpegPCMAudio? because i do this and i can get it to reconnect after it breaks or smth the audio stops before its acualy finished

[jade jolt]

what url

@slate swan

[round yarrow]

thats weird

maybe just close the tab

and then the bot stops working...unless uk you have a third party hosting service or have used flask to host it or maybe have replit hacker

[slate swan]

a url to a mp3 file on discord

you forgor the open at thr line file = ('ignore.txt' 'w+')

[willow vine]

hey is there any other way other than replit + uptime bot to host my bot for free.. for some reason it goes down

[reef shell]

Any free hosting can't guarantee you a reliable uptime

But you can try heroku for learning

[willow vine]

hmm

[slate swan]

thank you i don't know how i not saw it

[dapper cobalt]

May I know why did you use CSS syntax highlighting and not Python?

[slate swan]

just for beauty

[dapper cobalt]

!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.

[dapper cobalt]

Python's would make it much better.

[reef shell]

python is prettier

CSS makes only websites pretty, not Discord messages!

[jade jolt]

hm.

[tall agate]

any libraries i can use to play music for le bot (besides ytdl)

[slate swan]

when streaming audio from a url can you do before_options={'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 1'} in discord.FFmpegPCMAudio? because i do this and i can get it to reconnect after it breaks or smth the audio stops before its acualy finished

[jade jolt]

like local files?

[slate swan]

discord mp3 links

[jade jolt]

not you lol

[tall agate]

no if theres any legal way at all to stream songs

on a bot

[jade jolt]

do you plan on buying the legal rights to use them

or just use noncopyright songs

[tall agate]

oH ok ty

[slate swan]

can someone please help me

[jade jolt]

with

[slate swan]

this

[jade jolt]

try it and see

[slate swan]

i have

hundreds of times

many different combinations

it still stops playing the sound middle of it and no errors happen

[jade jolt]

could be something with discord

[slate swan]

i doubt it

like 100% boubt it

is there any way to active some sort of debug mode for ffmpeg that spits out infomations no matter what

[jade jolt]

im sure there is

[slate swan]

because if there is then the hundreds of google results i have looked throu are dumb and will never work because i have spent the last 7 hours trying to get it to not stop in the middle

[brave vessel]

How exactly are you "streaming audio from a url", what kind of URL is it and what do you use? Do you use pytube, youtube-dl or anything of those sorts?

[jade jolt]

discord mp3 url

[brave vessel]

Ah, alright, good

I was just making sure it isn't breaking TOS lol

[jade jolt]

yeah

try downloading the file and play it like that?

[slate swan]

send a mp3 in chat

[slate swan]

not good harddrive

[jade jolt]

delete the file after its been played

[slate swan]

bad read write speed

like realy bad

im on a hdd

from like 1969

[jade jolt]

i am too

but it doesnt take that long

[slate swan]

😭

it takes 20min to load up windows

[jade jolt]

bruh what

[hasty iron]

ur computer surely cant be that bad

[jade jolt]

sounds like its infected

[slate swan]

nah im joking not downloading the mp3 files tho

what is owner

my cog

[hasty iron]

a cog doesnt have an add_view method

[stiff nexus]

why

[hasty iron]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=add_view#discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_view

its for Bot

[vale root]

Is there a way to make my bot do ctx.send when it is shutting down

like when it goes offline or do I have to say it?

[hasty iron]

on_disconnect event (can be called multiple times)

[vale root]

Thats for dcing a vc?

So where i have my on start i would put under that

on_disconnect
await ctx.send("Bot is going down!")

[hasty iron]

wat

[slate swan]

what's that

!d discord.on_disconnect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_disconnect

discord.on_disconnect()```
Called when the client has disconnected from Discord, or a connection attempt to Discord has failed. This could happen either through the internet being disconnected, explicit calls to close, or Discord terminating the connection one way or the other.

This function can be called many times without a corresponding [`on_connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_connect "discord.on_connect") call.

[main path]

@client.event
async def on_disconnect():
  ...``` Tho ctx.send won't work in ``client.event``

[slate swan]

nice

get the channel

[vale root]

I would put @bot.event

Thanks

[main path]

👍

[vale root]

wait rq how would i make it send a msg?

[main path]

hmm

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

get_channel(id)```
Returns a channel with the given ID.

[main path]

Actually I am facing the same problem as you.. I am asking help in another server and waiting for a response

[vale root]

oh lol

[slate swan]

why not ask here lmao

[main path]

cuz there is much better

[vale root]

just cus i made a bot that im only running on my pc for reasons and want a event to show its shutting down

[slate swan]

the dpy server?

[main path]

They are very good in pycord

[slate swan]

pycord

is that a 3rd party lib?

[vale root]

lofma

[hasty iron]

isnt that the other shit fork

[maiden fable]

Can I run a coro with bot.loop.run_until_complete?

[hasty iron]

thats the whole point of it

but once the bot starts, you cannot

[maiden fable]

Oh

[hasty iron]

bot.run calls loop.run_forever

loop.run_until_complete requires the loop to not be running

[maiden fable]

Hmm

[main path]

since discord.py is stopping someone made something called pycrod... So similar to discord.py

[hasty iron]

use loop.create_task instead

[maiden fable]

Ah ok

[main path]

pretty good 1

[maiden fable]

Well I want to run the async function in the init of the class

[slate swan]

I'm pretty much predicting someone will take dpy over

[hasty iron]

you could do the run_until_complete

[main path]

eh...

[hasty iron]

but when you reload the cog (via command) it will raise an error

[slate swan]

I'm just gonna wait and see

[main path]

If they will they probably would said in the past

[hasty iron]

assuming you load the cogs before you start the bot

[maiden fable]

So I should use create_task and be on the safe side?

[hasty iron]

yeah sure

[maiden fable]

Oh cool

!paste dude

[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.

[stiff nexus]

its not disabling ```py
@discord.ui.button(disabled=True,label='Skip to page...', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)

#lets you type a page number to go to
if self.input_lock.locked():
await interaction.response.send_message('Already waiting for your response...', ephemeral=True)
return

    if self.message is None:
        return

    async with self.input_lock:
        channel = self.message.channel
        author_id = interaction.user and interaction.user.id
        await interaction.response.send_message('What page do you want to go to?', ephemeral=True)

        def message_check(m):

oh

I have zoomed out, then only I can see

The zoom is at 80, as u can see

not that big lol

[hybrid fjord]

new feature clearly, can someone link the documentation for it?

[maiden fable]

https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/blob/ff4d9d8ea6493405a8823492338880c47fb02996/docs/Reference.md#timestamp-styles

cheers

(:

[ancient latch]

is it allowed if i can ask a question on how to create a queue for my music bot?

[maiden fable]

YTDL is against ToS, so I am afraid not allowed

[ancient latch]

alright

my bad

[sudden sage]

hey guys im new in coding and i want to create a bot i dont want him to do anything he should just stay online and print current game nothing more can someone give me the code and how i can run it i already create a application at the dc dev portal

[jagged hamlet]

Is there a way to store additional data in a view/button, to recall in future when the button is clicked? I don't want to have to create a "dummy button" to hold that info

[jagged hamlet]

what do you mean by "print current game"?

[sudden sage]

current application

,,Plays VALORANT" for example @jagged hamlet

[jagged hamlet]

oh, OK, I see

so you want it to display an activity in its profile

[sudden sage]

exactly

[jagged hamlet]

cool, I can do that

import discord

client = discord.Client(status=discord.Status.online, activity=discord.Game(name="VALORANT (replace this string with whatever)"))

client.run("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_GOES_HERE")

@sudden sage this dead simple script should work

[jagged hamlet]

New question/elaboration; if I store data in the view subclass, say like this:

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, data=None):
    super().__init__(timeout=None)
    if data is not None:
        self.data = data

Does that mean that data would be saved, even for persistent views?

[sudden sage]

should i create an folder in visual studio code or where should i type this code in

[jagged hamlet]

Just run that Python code, however you normally run your code.

As long as you have the discord.py package installed, it'll work

[sudden sage]

which IDE should i use?

which IDE would you use

[craggy cloak]

i am trying to use webhook

But when someone voted this will pop up, how do i fix this?

[slate swan]

use an F string

[craggy cloak]

You can't use strings in that?

that is a Webhook

[jagged hamlet]

I wouldn't use an IDE for that

I'd just run the Python script as-is

[slate swan]

in this you can most definitely use a F string

[sudden sage]

as i said im new in it so where should i type this code in

[jagged hamlet]

you have to parse the data before posting the webhook then. What are you sending the webhook from?

[craggy cloak]

Normally there should be a user here somewhere, but it's not there?

[jagged hamlet]

Have you never used Python, at all? In that case, a couple of quick dead basic questions:

1. What is the output of python -v when ran in the terminal?
2. What operating system are you using?

[sudden sage]

nah bro i just create an print("Hello World") thats it

im currently on windows

[jagged hamlet]

and as for question 1?

[sudden sage]

Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

[slate swan]

Error reading or writing history file 'C:\Users\my naem\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PSReadLine\ConsoleHost_history.txt': Access to the path is denied.
um

erm why did i get this

[jade jolt]

is this related to discord

[slate swan]

mhm so how do i fix it

also ```async def on_message(self, message):
# don't respond to ourselves
if message.author == self.user:
return

    if message.content == 'Hey':
        await message.channel.send('Shalom, how is it going?')``` why doesnt this work? it worked before

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

[kindred epoch]

show the whole code

[slate swan]

hello guys

[jagged hamlet]

Therefore you do not have Python installed.

1. Go to https://python.org/
2. Download Python 3.9.7 (shown in screenshot)
3. Run the executable

[slate swan]

can anyone help me please?

[jagged hamlet]

hello!

[kindred epoch]

dont ask to ask

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands

#discord.Intents.all()
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@client.command()
async def clear(ctx, ammount=10):
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=ammount)

async def on_message(self, message):
        # don't respond to ourselves
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.content == 'Hey':
            await message.channel.send('Shalom, how is it going?')

client.run('token')``` @kindred epoch

[slate swan]

???

[sudden sage]

i did

[jagged hamlet]

do you have the @bot.event decorator?

[slate swan]

dont think so

[jagged hamlet]

that's not a Discord bot issue, that's just a permission issue. You're trying to read or write to a file you aren't allowed to.

[slate swan]

hm weird

[kindred epoch]

on_message is an event, so you have to use @bot.event or @bot.listen() as the decorator. Thats not in a cog so you dont need self as a arg

[slate swan]

help please

[jagged hamlet]

First things first, it's __init__, not __innit__. You'll have to fix that for it to work.
Next up, lines 9-17 are over-indented.

[slate swan]

Ok thanks

[jagged hamlet]

also, please be patient - people need time to type out a response to your solution.

[kindred epoch]

error is pretty clear, if you know enough python you should be able to fix it by yourself

[slate swan]

i'm learning python

[jagged hamlet]

c'mon, that's not really helpful, considering this is a server for helping with learning Python

[kindred epoch]

yea...

that does not even relate to #discord-bots

[sudden sage]

so i opened python

[jagged hamlet]

1. Run the command python -m pip install discord.py in the terminal
2. Create a file with the .py extension
3. Paste in the code
4. Edit the necessary values
5. Run the file

[sudden sage]

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[jagged hamlet]

what?

[sudden sage]

it shows up

[jagged hamlet]

when running the file?

[sudden sage]

i did the 1st thing

[craggy cloak]

I don't get it lol

[jagged hamlet]

run it in the terminal, not in Python

[sudden sage]

right now it shows up Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

[jagged hamlet]

You're sending the wrong data, you want to actually resolve/evaluate the user ID somehow. How you do that depends on your workflow

[kindred epoch]

what are you coding in?

[jagged hamlet]

That shouldn't be happening, you just installed it, right?

[sudden sage]

i did

maybe restart pc?

[craggy cloak]

I am trying to create a webhook

[jagged hamlet]

yeah, try that

[sudden sage]

still

[jagged hamlet]

yes, I have no idea what you're sending that from, but you need to replace user with the actual user ID

how you do that depends on you

[craggy cloak]

Normally there should be user here but it is not there?

[jagged hamlet]

Find Python in Windows search, and right-click and choose "Open File Location"

then send the full path to that folder

[slate swan]

not our stuff

and your code doesn't match

[craggy cloak]

Maybe this?

[sudden sage]

rn it shows "-m" is either misspelled or
could not be found.

it works

[flat solstice]

how do you check if a msg has a embed or not? it's just py if message.Embedsright? and then if I wanted to get attributes out it would be py message.Embed[0].description[0]

[bleak fulcrum]

I would love some help learning how to make this bot better. This bot is for educational purposes only. I'm just trying to learn how to program with asyncio and discord libraries better. https://pastebin.com/QW0iwSW6

[sudden sage]

rn if i want to paste the code it shows The command "import" is either spelled incorrectly or
could not be found. @jagged hamlet

[full lily]

You have both client = discord.Client() and bot = commands.Bot(...

it's one or the other. I would stick with bot.

[jagged hamlet]

Did you paste it exactly as-is?

[sudden sage]

yea

[jagged hamlet]

Screenshot?

[slate swan]

what's wrong with line 3?

[full lily]

you shouldn't use tydl, it's against TOS

[bleak fulcrum]

whos TOS?

[full lily]

youtube's

[full lily]

the error comes from line 19 in file music.py

[slate swan]

look

@commands.command()

[bleak fulcrum]

this guy is your ytd also?

[full lily]

the decorator should be aligned in indentation with the function definition

look at line 19

and look at line 21, the line after a function definition should be indented

[slate swan]

ok

[full lily]

your next function is outside of the class, you need to indent it to have it inside

wait no it's not

your first two are inside of the init

[slate swan]

uh

[bleak fulcrum]

@full lily any advice on how to make the bot dc from voice after the sleep? i tried running it in it's own thread. I also tried to make the sleep asyncronous but i muck up the hearbeats

[full lily]

where am I looking? what line

[bleak fulcrum]

106 is commented out

i cant include it at 168, it disconnects immediately

i cant include it where it is, that part is threaded and seperate

[slate swan]

how i can remove this

[full lily]

threading does not mix with asyncio

[bleak fulcrum]

sure it does, im currently doing it

how would i restructure what im doing though, to make it better

[slate swan]

async def clear(ctx, ammount=90):
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=ammount)```  doesnt work?

[full lily]

hm i might be thinking of something else

[bleak fulcrum]

that code i posted works... just badly

it doesnt dc after the file is done transmitting

so i know i built it janky and hacky

im trying to fix that I need to learn

[slate swan]

EY HELO ME MAYBE?

[slate swan]

...

[bleak fulcrum]

@slate swan your behavior makes me not want to help you with the limited knowledge I do have

[slate swan]

im trynne get help i gtg soon sry

[bleak fulcrum]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', description=description)

@bot.command()
async def clear(ctx, ammount=90):
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=ammount)

try that tho

[vale pendant]

We can possibly help you if we know what the problem is.

[slate swan]

command doesnt work

[bleak fulcrum]

instead of calling it a client

[vale pendant]

Any errors?

[bleak fulcrum]

from discord.ext import commands

put at top

[slate swan]

nop

[bleak fulcrum]

what it is doing?

[slate swan]

So. I want to make a command called status. And I was wandering if could take some things from a game called "FiveM" or "GTA RP". I would like it to say if the server is online and how many players are in the server. Is this even possible??

nothing

[bleak fulcrum]

@slate swan if they include a api sure

[full lily]

to check if the server is online, you can ping it. If you get a response it's online

[bleak fulcrum]

@slate swan there is nothing in the console?

[slate swan]

client.run('token')``` here is the code

[slate swan]

nope

[bleak fulcrum]

@slate swan well your token isnt "token"

[slate swan]

i kno

[bleak fulcrum]

and you need a bot, not a client

[slate swan]

  File "main.py", line 3, in <module>
    import music
  File "/home/runner/Music-Bot/music.py", line 19
    @commands.command()```

how to fix

and it's this part of the error

[bleak fulcrum]

i would use bot instead of client

i couldnt get client to work either

@slate swan you are trying to censor people?

[slate swan]

yuh

it works so

[bleak fulcrum]

ok i dont support censorship, so im done

[slate swan]

bro its for a esport thing

[slate swan]

it has 10 yo kids in it man

[bleak fulcrum]

i dont care at all what the use-case is lol

[vale pendant]

?

not a valid reason not to help someone

it's his choice and he's asking for help

[slate swan]

I mean they do have an API but I think it is not supported with python. So I can't right?

[vale pendant]

• censoring exe is not a bad thing

or cuss words as well

[bleak fulcrum]

you can hook their api with requests if they support an api

[slate swan]

jesus just stop being a brat

sure ur against it but there is 10 year old kids

do u want them to start saying racist shit

hm?

[bleak fulcrum]

i think it's their right to do so yea

[full lily]

👀

[bleak fulcrum]

you cant be pro free speech and then get mad people say stuff you dont agree with

[vale pendant]

It's not that he doesn't agree, it's not letting people ruin other people feelings and put them down

[slate swan]

ok this gone too far anyone else wanna help me?

[bleak fulcrum]

look im not trying to get political, there are other people here

[vale pendant]

political? this a python server to get help

[vale pendant]

sure since they other guy is not

[vale pendant]

First of all, you want to create a bot instance. Not a client instance.

[slate swan]

async def clear(ctx, ammount=90):
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=ammount)``` this line doesnt workj

[vale pendant]

It's not that line.

[slate swan]

u get what i mean

im new to this

[vale pendant]

Therefore I'm going to walk you through it.

Start by deleting your MyClient class

[kindred epoch]

you can just tell them to read this instead: https://vcokltfre.dev/

[vale pendant]

Yeah that's true

[slate swan]

what's wrong?

[bleak fulcrum]

I dont think they are going to help man, they dont wanna help youtube download bot makers

[kindred epoch]

is there a module named "music" that you downloaded?

[slate swan]

Oooh

[bleak fulcrum]

poetry not another package manager lol

pip wasnt good enough?

[slate swan]

was gone sry

@vale pendant

[hardy yoke]

are you trying to import a cog o_O

[slate swan]

its for a music bot

[hardy yoke]

that doesn't answer the question but if it is a cog you don't need to import it, if it's a library you need to download it first via repl's package manager

[slate swan]

i dont know much about python

look

[vale pendant]

i said read what he said

[kindred epoch]

check which roles the user has, if they said to give the role they already have then send something else

or maybe it just raises an error

idk

@slate swan bots as in fake users to join your server?

or bots as in helpful bots that carry out functions

[full lily]

if current_server == guild.id: what are you trying to do here

on_member_join passes member not ctx

[slate swan]

huh

bots as in a discord bot made in discord.py

not like tokens

[next heath]

Can someone help me to make a ban counter on one specific member

[kindred epoch]

?

[next heath]

Im on a server dat a person gets ban like 99 times a day so we whant to make a counter for it

[kindred epoch]

huh

a person cant get banned 99 times on the same server

unless they unban him and then ban him again

[next heath]

but we un ban him

[kindred epoch]

why do you do that then

[next heath]

for fun

[kindred epoch]

if you want to ban them again?

lol no

but do you know what's wrong?

[full lily]

format your code like above and i'll have a look

[slate swan]

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

    if message.content.startswith('LOL'):

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

    if message.content.startswith('Im so cool'):

client.run('this is where my bot token is, it's correct, double checked it multiple times')

[hasty iron]

your on_message is inside your on_ready

and also process_commands need to be inside the on_message

[slate swan]

um

i started coding yesterday

so idk what that means

[hasty iron]

so you’re still a python beginner?

[kindred epoch]

lol

[hasty iron]

i suggest you learn the language first

[slate swan]

maybe

but then again all you do in python is copy and paste

[hasty iron]

what

[slate swan]

so just gimme instructions and boom

[kindred epoch]

??

[hasty iron]

no?

[kindred epoch]

yea, no thats not what we do

[slate swan]

It's called a joke, but mb

[hasty iron]

serious thing -> question -> "its a joke bro"

but anyways

you should really learn python before making a discord bot

[slate swan]

???

[hasty iron]

discord.py is a hard library for beginners

[slate swan]

maybe

[full lily]

case in point

[slate swan]

you have any recommended starter projects that aren't simple games like snake or hangman

[full lily]

Snake sounds pretty difficult actually

not sure what interaction library etc ur using

[twilit adder]

?

[graceful gulch]

ok

can u send the error

not a screenshot

it’s easier to read

this is the error i get whenever i try the urban command

[agile goblet]

read the error

Value must be one of...

how can I check how much users have a certain role?

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

use that with len()

[slate swan]

how to make it so that when sending a message to a private message on behalf of a bot player, the bot should check in a text file whether its id is in the text file and if the code found its id in the text file "ignore.txt", then let the bot just start ignoring it
in this code:

msg_dump_channel = 886496848196542514
ignoreusers = []

@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):

     channel = bot.get_channel(msg_dump_channel)
     
     if message.author == bot.user or message.author.id in ignoreusers:
          return
     if message.guild is None and not message.author.bot:



          iduser = message.author.id
          nameuser = message.author.name
          text = message.content


          embed = discord.Embed(title = "Личные сообщение бота: ", description = (f"css\n{ text }"), color = 0x1f8b4c)
          embed.set_footer (text =f"ID автора: {iduser} | Ник автора: {nameuser}")
          embed.timestamp = datetime.utcnow()
          await channel.send(embed = embed)
     await bot.process_commands(message)```

[twilit adder]

then the error has to do with type?

[quasi pawn]

how do make it so that's mentioning the bot is also a prefix?

[agile goblet]

indeed

[agile goblet]

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when\_mentioned\_or

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)```
A callable that implements when mentioned or other prefixes provided.

These are meant to be passed into the [`Bot.command_prefix`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix "discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix") attribute.

Example

```py
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('!'))
```...

[quasi pawn]

aight thanks

[twilit adder]

should it be like this?
await interaction.respond(type = InteractionEventType(2), embed = paginationList[current], components=[[Button(label = "⏮", id = "backk", style = ButtonStyle.blue), Button(label = "◀️", id = "back", style = ButtonStyle.blue), Button(label = "▶️", id = "front", style = ButtonStyle.blue), Button(label = "⏭", id = "frontt", style = ButtonStyle.blue), Button(label="❌", id = "exit", style=ButtonStyle.red)]])

[agile goblet]

id assume just the integer

[twilit adder]

nvm i just needed to replace interaction.respond to interaction.edit thanks for helping me out!

Hey @graceful palm!

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[patent lark]

why two constructors?

[slate swan]

snow can u help me with something`?

[crude crater]

personally im shit at coding but i think it might be that "top" isnt defined but im probably wrong lmaooo

[patent lark]

no.

[crude crater]

ok

[final iron]

Top is from the asyncpraw library

[crude crater]

ah mk

[final iron]

It gets the top submissions from the subreddit

[patent lark]

you should use bot = commands.Bot(...) not client = commands.Bot(...), for some reason you have both? bot is better practice since discord.Client() is a thing.

[slate swan]

ok thanks

[crude crater]

https://vcokltfre.dev/tips/clientbot/

it honestly doesnt make a difference coming from someone whos used both

just depends on what you're doing lol

or what you wanna do/use it for

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import MyClient``` it's not "myclient" what is it i don't remember...

[patent lark]

it's not dependent on what you're doing, if you're using discord.ext.commands.Bot you should always use bot as the variable, its better practice-wise so it doesnt get confused with discord.Client().

[slate swan]

snow u talking to me or the other guy?

[crude crater]

it is lol

to me

[slate swan]

alr lol

[patent lark]

how so?

[slate swan]

also u should use bot and not client 🙂

[crude crater]

read the link i sent

[slate swan]

wiser can u help me with something?

[final iron]

What is commands.Bot even used for

[crude crater]

it does the same thing but "bot" can do more

[crude crater]

yeah

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import MyClient``` what is it suppost to be, the "myclient" part i dont remember

[patent lark]

discord bots? commands.Bot is far better than discord.Client(), commands.Bot has command decorators, permission check decorators, and tons more. if you're creating a discord bot, using discord.Client() isn't the go-to choice for it.

[crude crater]

what is what supposed to be?

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import MyClient

#discord.Intents.all()

bot = MyBot()              
bot.run('mah token')``` the !clear command doesnt work, doesnt have any errors either

[final iron]

I just realized that I actually use commands.Bot I just named it client

[crude crater]

i created a entire moderation bot, ticket bot, economy bot, and recreational bot with 800 lines of code in the main.py and 15 cogs with 300 lines each and used "client" and im telling you now, it does the same thing

[slate swan]

wiser can u help me..?

[crude crater]

yes

[slate swan]

i sendt the code and shit

[crude crater]

oh okay

[patent lark]

i dont think you understand

of course the variable name wont change anything, why would it? of course it will function the same. you could name the variable literally anything and would be fine, maybe if you payed attention to my messages, you'd see that i said its better from the aspect of practice

as i said: if you're using discord.ext.commands.Bot you should always use bot as the variable, its better practice-wise so it doesnt get confused with discord.Client().

@crude crater

[supple thorn]

Didnt you say you changed it to bot

[crude crater]

and i already said this like 5 minutes ago cutie, end of discussion it doesnt change much

[crude crater]

yeah lmao

[final iron]

reddit.subreddit needs to be awaited and when you're looping through the submissions you need to use an async for loop

[crude crater]

but i ran it with client before (as u know ;))

[crude crater]

you spelled amount wrong

[slate swan]

yah

wait

1 m or 2?

[zinc flame]

I'm building a basic bot, but when I import another file the bot doesn't run. Or if I import the bot into the other file, then that doesn't run. Anyone want to take a look at my code and point out where I'm going wrong?

[crude crater]

1

its yellow

yes

Sorry, I'm still pretty new so sorry if I get any terminology wrong

you could use an f-string in your on_ready rather than 3 print satements, and ctx.send() is the same as ctx.channel.send(), so you dont need channel.

[slate swan]

doesnt work

[crude crater]

whats the error?

Yeah I know for sure there are places I can clean it up

[slate swan]

there is no error

doesnt work

i dont know then because it should work lol

weird

[patent lark]

are your commands even being executed? you may have an on_message event and arent processing commands

@slate swan

[slate swan]

snow it doesnt work with the censor code

they arent being executed

[patent lark]

in your on message event, add await bot.process_commands(message)

or client if you are using client

[slate swan]

fixed it i think

[patent lark]

alright

yep

had to remove bot = MyBot()
