[stark bobcat]

hlo i dunno why i am getting this error
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'bot' is not defined

@commands.command()

using cogs

[austere dagger]

hello

can you suggest me some documents to learn async in python

[boreal ravine]

Is it self.client or self.bot in your cog?

[stark bobcat]

self.bot

[boreal ravine]

then use self.bot.latency lol

[stark bobcat]

oh

[slate swan]

🤦‍♂️

[stark bobcat]

ok thanks i am new to cogs

[boreal ravine]

Make sure to multiply that otherwise

[slate swan]

and probably round it out your choice tho

[stark bobcat]

[clever wind]

omg your ign is just genious

[dawn gale]

hey goys how do i make calculator gui

my friend did this

it might be in my vsc code

[hasty iron]

you have to pass in that kwarg into the Bot constructor

[slate swan]

case_insensitive is for the bot class not command

[dawn gale]

my bot is case insensitive but idk how

[boreal ravine]

well you can multiply it and use int()

[dawn gale]

this is the code he sent me

[boreal ravine]

Check ur kwargs for the bot constructor

[dawn gale]

what that

[boreal ravine]

the one where u defined client

[clever wind]

guys what are the pros and cons of using a bot class or client class in discord py?

[dawn gale]

this is how i did it

[hasty iron]

the Bot class has command features

stuff that allows you to make commands easily

[boreal ravine]

!d lower

[unkempt canyon]

lower

lower

Converts a string into all lowercase.

For example:

{{ value|lower }}
```  If `value` is `Totally LOVING this Album!`, the output will be `totally loving this album!`.

[mortal thistle]

Why I am facing this?

[wanton cipher]

have you named a file/folder discord in your project?

[mortal thistle]

yes

it's bot.py

[wanton cipher]

that is why, you need to have the actual discord module be the only thing called discord (try rename and see if it works)

[mortal thistle]

ok it worked

[wanton cipher]

yeah, try avoid naming things the same, it normally causes issues :)

[dapper cobalt]

When a role gets deleted, does the len(role.members) become 0?

[stiff nexus]

how do i make the cmds not work in dms???

[stark bobcat]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_guild_join(self, guild):
        await guild.create_category("Mailer")```
why doesn't this work

[slate swan]

a error message?

[stark bobcat]

one min let me reinvite my bot then

nvm thanks fixed it

how do i get a channel id in a specific category?

[crystal cliff]

Is this a guild Welcome Command? Does it work? 🤔

[stark bobcat]

uh

no

it creates a catogoray when the bot joins a server

[crystal cliff]

Damn, I was going to ask, to copy it lol

[crystal cliff]

Why?

[stark bobcat]

creating guild welcome command is easy

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

discord.on_member_join(member)``````py

discord.on_member_remove(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") leaves or joins a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

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

[boreal ravine]

[stark bobcat]

i'm making a mailer bot

[hasty iron]

what if the bot doesn’t have permissions

[stark bobcat]

smthing like modmail

[crystal cliff]

Modmail?

[hasty iron]

also that’s a bad idea

[stark bobcat]

ye

[stark bobcat]

why

[crystal cliff]

Why?

[hasty iron]

you should make it into a command instead

[stark bobcat]

hmm

why

[crystal cliff]

That’s true

[stark bobcat]

when it's event it's automated

[crystal cliff]

I’ve got a event, it doesn’t work 😥

[slate swan]

name="Mailer"

!d discord.Guild.create_category

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_category

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

Same as [`create_text_channel()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild.create_text_channel "discord.Guild.create_text_channel") except makes a [`CategoryChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.CategoryChannel "discord.CategoryChannel") instead.

Note

The `category` parameter is not supported in this function since categories cannot have categories.

[patent lark]

@commands.guild_only()
this is a decorator from discord.ext.commands

[patent ivy]

hi quick question

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def manage(ctx):
    await ctx.send("YOWZA")``` so this only send if I have manage_messages

how do I make it send a seperate message if you dont have that perm?

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_command\_error

discord.on_command_error(ctx, error)```
An error handler that is called when an error is raised inside a command either through user input error, check failure, or an error in your own code.

A default one is provided ([`Bot.on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error "discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error")).

[slate swan]

use this event

[patent ivy]

where do I put it

[slate swan]

example:

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send(error)

[patent ivy]

ah thanks

so that can go anywhere in the code

and if that event happens that code will trigger?

[slate swan]

yea is your error handler

[patent ivy]

I am very new to this type of program

thanks

[slate swan]

An error handler that is called when an error is raised inside a command either through user input error, check failure, or an error in your own code.

[patent ivy]

the missingpermissions in undefined

@slate swan

[wicked atlas]

You need to either import it from discord, or just import discord and do

if isinstance(error, discord.MissingPermissions):

[patent ivy]

oh discord.missingpermissions

that don't work either

[stark bobcat]

What's the problem with jt

[patent ivy]

I'm confused

[wicked atlas]

Have you spelled it in all lowercase like you are sending here?

[patent ivy]

no

[slate swan]

commands.MissingPermissions

[wicked atlas]

Ah yes, thats a commands error

[patent ivy]

thx

it work now

so what exactly is ctx

I am not really sure

[dim wing]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_raw_reaction_add(self, reaction, user):

It says user argument is missing because it should have 2 arguments but it is in a cog so....

[wicked atlas]

ctx is the suggested name of the context argument that is passed in to commands and some events

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(**attrs)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[patent ivy]

so when I do something like ctx.send

[wicked atlas]

raw_reaction_add only takes one argument

[patent ivy]

what does that mean

[wicked atlas]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add "discord.on_reaction_add"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

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

[wicked atlas]

That is shorthand for

ctx.message.channel.send

The Context object gives you the "context" in which a command happened

[dim wing]

bruh thx

[patent ivy]

alright next thing

how do I get a function that runs everytime a message is sent

and get that message

[dim wing]

Im defining my functions like this in my class:

    @staticmethod
    async def get_money(user_id):

and call them with :

await Cog.get_money(ctx.author.id)

I was wondering if i should defining my function without @staticmethod (and without async?)

[dim wing]

on_message

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[slate swan]

Hey, can we reset the cooldown of a specific command?

Like I dunno how

[final iron]

Wdym

[slate swan]

Like when Ive set a cooldown on a command

@commands.cooldown(trigger,seconds,type)

How do I reset it?

[dim wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.reset_cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.reset\_cooldown

reset_cooldown(ctx)```
Resets the cooldown on this command.

[dim wing]

this?

[slate swan]

how can i make a command not show in the help menu ?

[boreal ravine]

is there a module for activity? I mean like the rich presence thingy cause I wanna make my own rich presence if I can. Like this ^^

[boreal ravine]

hidden=True kwarg beside the bot.command()

[slate swan]

thanks

[slate swan]

Uh I think so yea

Ill try

[slate swan]

i also have help Shows this message in the menu..how can i remove that ?

[boreal ravine]

idk about that lel

[slate swan]

You can modify the help command itself, I forgot how tho

[slate swan]

then can i just not show the No category category ?

[boreal ravine]

uh not sure about that sorry

[slate swan]

you can..but you gotta fully disable the help command and make another one

Uhm no, you dont have to disable it

Theres a kwarg in Bot() called help_command and as argument, you can give DefaultHelpCommand()

[inland venture]

I did if message.channel.name == 'nice-place':

how do i make it so that I could make my bot work on all channels

[patent ivy]

ok hard one

I need to get the names of everyone in a call

the call being grabbed from whatever one the message sender is in

is it possible?

[slate swan]

Add a for loop and iterate through guild.channels

[brisk helm]

only part of the comedy``` Why this return me error

[slate swan]

Whats the error exactly?

[brazen seal]

I can do in python the bot has count people in my server and refreshing this in 5 minutes?

[brisk helm]

Whot i can do it will the probelm is with @perms_enable_check(ban_members=True)

[brisk helm]

ban_members=True

[slate swan]

!d Bot.loop.create_task()

[unkempt canyon]

Not in a million years.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

Uhhh

[slate swan]

Whats the error output???

The exception

[brazen seal]

hm

[boreal ravine]

How am I supposed to change my bot's status in the bot constructor if client isn't defined yet because it's on the same line? Like for example, py client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('.'), case_insensitive=True, intents=intents, activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=f"{len(client.guilds)} guild(s)")) Error: ```py
[pyflakes] Undefined name 'client'

[wicked atlas]

You can use tasks
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

[slate swan]

There was an event for that

Nvm

[slate swan]

In on_ready

Wth?

[boreal ravine]

But people says dont do it on ready?

[brazen seal]

Yes i know i do this and bot set status only one time and i don't know why his not refreshing :/

[slate swan]

Theres no other way 🤦‍♂️ not that I know

[brisk helm]

raise errors.ExtensionFailed(key, e) from e discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'for_fun.giv' raised an error: TypeError: perms_enable_check() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ban_members'

[slate swan]

Just do it in on_ready

[slate swan]

Ok ok wait a second

[crystal cliff]

Do you mean, discord channels?

[wicked atlas]

People say don't do it in on_ready, but you can, you just might ant to do a few things because on_ready is called whenever a bot logs in or re-logs into discord, so it's called multiple times occasionally

[river walrus]

Hi, I'm re-creating (and not forking) discord.py (called Disthon) using the code form discord.py, discord.js and Sapphire framework.
I need programming experts to lend me a hand with the project. If anyone's interested in contributing, please reply to this message

wut do i type?

[boreal ravine]

ok

[inland venture]

ye ye

[brazen seal]

someone maybe know why it isn't work correctly?

[pliant gulch]

Might do a PR or two, depending on my time and work

[visual island]

use tasks.loop and wait_until_ready

[crystal cliff]

Disthon, what does that do?

[river walrus]

Amazing

[boreal ravine]

ok

[slate swan]

for channel in ctx.guild.channels:
    if channel.name = 'xyz':
        print(True)

[river walrus]

It's like discord.py, discord.js and Sapphire (which is a Discord.js framework) fused their features

And gotten better

[slate swan]

So youre basically trying to "when user has x permission, it should run the command"?

[brisk helm]

yes

[slate swan]

I cannot find what perms_enable_check() does

[brisk helm]

i know the discord have got a check for it

[slate swan]

!comparison

[unkempt canyon]

Assignment vs. Comparison

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

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

k

ty!

Lol

[inland venture]

also how do i define ctx

look on me full code

[inland venture]

im a noob 😢

[slate swan]

In a command

[slate swan]

Where did you put that in?

Ah you got message

@inland venture replace ctx with message

message.guild.channels

It's not about defining ctx, it's about adding an argument.

            if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.permisions:``` Why this return this error

what i can do?

[hasty iron]

you want to check the passed in permissions?

if so use getattr

!d getattr

[unkempt canyon]

getattr

getattr(object, name[, default])```
Return the value of the named attribute of *object*. *name* must be a string. If the string is the name of one of the object’s attributes, the result is the value of that attribute. For example, `getattr(x, 'foobar')` is equivalent to `x.foobar`. If the named attribute does not exist, *default* is returned if provided, otherwise [`AttributeError`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/exceptions.html#AttributeError "AttributeError") is raised.

Note

Since [private name mangling](https://docs.python.org/3.10/reference/expressions.html#private-name-mangling) happens at compilation time, one must manually mangle a private attribute’s (attributes with two leading underscores) name in order to retrieve it with [`getattr()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/functions.html#getattr "getattr").

[slate swan]

i have this code. It works but it answers like this "(24, '/', '64')" when i want it to look like this "24/64". Any ideas?

r = requests.get('http://51.77.136.2:30120/dynamic.json')


events = r.json()


@client.command()
async def status(ctx):
  em = discord.Embed(title='Apollo Project', description=(events['clients'],'/',events['sv_maxclients']), color=orange)
  await ctx.send(embed=em)

[wicked atlas]

Combine the values into a single string, and not a tuple

!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.

What

[vale narwhal]

Can i make the args use string that i declared?
Like

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx, *, args):
   hello = 10
   lel = 20
   total = 90 + args 
   await ctx.send(total)

basically use the hello if args was hello and use lel if args was lel

P.S I don't want to use if because the code that im using is kinda long and I don't want to make if args == BLAHBLAH for all of it...

[wicked atlas]

It might be getting stuck in that while loop

[stiff nexus]

how

[wicked atlas]

Beacuse data["children"] might come out as falsey

What value is stored in there?

[hasty iron]

update python

[wicked atlas]

Make sure you have the latest version of discord.py

okay

[hasty iron]

that was a bug

you have to update your python version

[boreal ravine]

okay

[boreal ravine]

dude what

[vale narwhal]

what?

[boreal ravine]

stop being so random lol

[river walrus]

it is what it is lol

[boreal ravine]

lol

[vale narwhal]

[boreal ravine]

ok

[vale narwhal]

ok

[brazen seal]

Someone can help me?

[vale narwhal]

What do you expect it to do tho

[maiden fable]

How do you know if it ain't working?

[vale narwhal]

[maiden fable]

Calm down with the emoji, @vale narwhal

[vale narwhal]

ok

[maiden fable]

[river walrus]

Their whole personality revolves around that emoji lol

[maiden fable]

Haha. Anyways, let's drop this topic

[vale narwhal]

If you want it to be online why do you need to put "discord.Status.online" tho

Wasn't it optional

[maiden fable]

Yea

By default it is online only

[vale narwhal]

[maiden fable]

[river walrus]

Yeah ofc

[wicked atlas]

Maybe setting the type kwarg is causing an issue

[maiden fable]

remove the type kwarg

[vale narwhal]

If you didn't set multiple bot.change_presence why do you need to put it into tasks loop too

[maiden fable]

Also imagine making an empty API call

[boreal ravine]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

[maiden fable]

And sending two API calls in 10 seconds

[vale narwhal]

Just straight use it in bot.event

[maiden fable]

You are inviting ratelimits

[vale narwhal]

if you didn't set the multiple status

[river walrus]

Yup, that's a huge mistake

[vale narwhal]

[river walrus]

Heya yerty

[vale narwhal]

lmao

[slate nymph]

i want to make a bot command which will accept 2 arguments and will return one of them randomly... How do i make one

[river walrus]

jokes aside, since you work with djs, will you be lending a hand with the project?

[vale narwhal]

Im not familiar with djs

[upbeat otter]

Gotcha

[maiden fable]

uh, you can do ctx, *args and then random.choice(args)

[upbeat otter]

thenx

for telling

[vale narwhal]

Don't forget to import random too

[pliant gulch]

10 API calls? Isn't changing presence something you do on the websocket

[maiden fable]

__import__("random").choice(args) there

[maiden fable]

???

[river walrus]

I think they mean the fetch_guild

[maiden fable]

Yea one is that

[pliant gulch]

Ok, I thought they were talking about change presence

[slate nymph]

that wont count context will it?

[pliant gulch]

As that has no ratelimit since its on the websocket

[maiden fable]

???

[pliant gulch]

Rather there is a queue I think or some other type deal

[maiden fable]

Wait, what you mean? Can I know more about what you are saying?

[slate nymph]

context is args 1 right?

[maiden fable]

Yea

Wait no

[pliant gulch]

changing presence isn't an HTTP request

Its done on the websocket

[maiden fable]

oh?

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks for telling!

[pliant gulch]

You still don't want to be spamming it

[maiden fable]

Yea

[pliant gulch]

[vale narwhal]

He didn't even change multiple presence

Why don't he put that straight into bot.event

coughs

[maiden fable]

coughs *

[vale narwhal]

done

Your wish

[maiden fable]

Haha

[slate nymph]

async def choose(ctx,*args):
await ctx.channel.send(random.choice(args))

[slate swan]

How to get the Command object of a given command?

[slate nymph]

says choose isnt defined

[vale narwhal]

import random

[slate nymph]

i did

[maiden fable]

they mean choose bro...

[hasty iron]

full traceback?

[vale narwhal]

[maiden fable]

Wym

[slate swan]

It say choose not random

[vale narwhal]

oh yes

[slate nymph]

sure

[maiden fable]

Lmao my reaction was the damn same

[vale narwhal]

lmao

[slate swan]

Like I wanna reset the cooldown for a command, but therefor I need the object itself [ Command.reset_cooldown(ctx) ]

[maiden fable]

ctx.command

[hasty iron]

you can use Bot.get_command

[slate swan]

Or how does that woooorkerk

[hasty iron]

and there is Context.command

[slate swan]

Ahh cool thanks

[final iron]

You need a command decorator

[lament mesa]

missing () after bot.command

[maiden fable]

🤣 I love it when uvloop isn't available for windows and pip just tries to install it again but errors out

[slate nymph]

okay thanks

[slate swan]

Ah I see

[hasty iron]

that’s where WSL comes in and saves the day

[slate swan]

Well I got the Context so that should be enoughhh

[maiden fable]

Well, I don't use WSL much tbh...

[vale narwhal]

Ah yes ()

[maiden fable]

But yea, that is a life saver

[pliant gulch]

Just use linux on your main machine

[lament mesa]

[pliant gulch]

I'm joking

[vale narwhal]

[pliant gulch]

But srs should check it out, fresh air from windows garbage

[maiden fable]

:stare: my mom gonna be like: Are you learning hacking or what

But yea, Windows 10 has many bugs and garbage, agreed

[pliant gulch]

Bugs I could care less for, its the privacy

[bitter depot]

Let's keep this channel on-topic please guys

[maiden fable]

haha

[bitter depot]

!ot for general discussion

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channels

There are three off-topic channels:
• #ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval
• #ot1-perplexing-regexing
• #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

Their names change randomly every 24 hours, but you can always find them under the OFF-TOPIC/GENERAL category in the channel list.

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[maiden fable]

Sorry Tizzy

[slate nymph]

what is ctx?

!ctx

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(**attrs)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[maiden fable]

BTW, anyone here knows how to use asyncio to make my discord bot install a module (uvloop) automatically if it is hosted on linux?

[pliant gulch]

Are you using poetry?

[maiden fable]

I have to use asyncio.create_subprocess_shell?

nah

[pliant gulch]

No venv for your bot??

[slate nymph]

any doc for args?

[maiden fable]

What do u expect

[maiden fable]

it is a param you define

[pliant gulch]

Are you getting your bot ready for a VPS or something?

[maiden fable]

Yea

The VPS is linux, so uvloop is gonna work there

[pliant gulch]

Ok, take a look at poetry really recommend, so you can install reqs easy

[maiden fable]

Ah ok

[pliant gulch]

Also you can set uvloop in there to only install when its on linux

I'll send my pyproject.toml in my own bot's repo

[maiden fable]

Thanks!

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/an-dyy/0x42/blob/master/pyproject.toml#L1-L28

Notice the markers

[slate swan]

can someone help me with this

cause im kinda dumb dumb

[maiden fable]

Thanks 😄

[slate swan]

info = await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor (None, lamda, youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'format':'best audio', 'quiet' : True})
= extract_info(f"ytsearch{amount} : {song}", download=False, ie_key="YoutubeSearch"))
whats broken here?

[bitter depot]

I'm afraid we can't help with YTDL here as it violates YouTube's ToS and thus our #rules #5 @slate swan

[pliant gulch]

Do you have a custom help command?

[slate swan]

ok

[slate nymph]

how do i design my help command?

[maiden fable]

I didn't subclass, but made one with dropdowns and stuff

[pliant gulch]

Ok, just asking because uvloop breaks any subclassed help command

[maiden fable]

Oh?

[pliant gulch]

Since the help command in discord.py uses deepcopy

Which cython does not like

Which is what uvloop uses

[maiden fable]

Ah

[patent lark]

👍

[maiden fable]

Also, have you ever tried converting the bot to Cython?

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/an-dyy/0x42/blob/a69d77e3acb901e317f1ec4f476c7992be7e0347/src/exts/help.py#L20-L28 easy fix though

[unkempt canyon]

src/exts/help.py lines 20 to 28

def __new__(
    cls: t.Type[CustomHelpCommand], *args, **kwargs
) -> CustomHelpCommand:  # Here to appease uvloop
    return super().__new__(cls)

def copy(self):  # Here to appease uvloop
    obj = self.__class__(self.bot)
    obj._command_impl = self._command_impl
    return obj```

[maiden fable]

Ah ok thanks

[slate nymph]

This help command looks jerk how do i modify it?

[pliant gulch]

You can take my help command :^)

Or look at a guide for subclassing the help command

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand you can 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.

[pliant gulch]

!customhelp

[unkempt canyon]

Custom help commands in discord.py

To learn more about how to create custom help commands in discord.py by subclassing the help command, please see this tutorial by Stella#2000

[maiden fable]

I always forget that tag

[slate nymph]

sure

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/an-dyy/0x42/blob/master/src/exts/help.py

[maiden fable]

Me whose help command is divided between 3-4 files: :stare:

[pliant gulch]

Probably because you didn't subclass

Way more compact to subclass since its all done for you already anyhow

[slate nymph]

aww thanks but such a big code for a help command?

[maiden fable]

Well, yea. But personally, I find using the deco easier

[pliant gulch]

This is really small imo

[slate nymph]

bruh?

[pliant gulch]

Its only 127 lines long

[maiden fable]

Mine is bigger than this iirc

I don't know... Lemme see

[slate nymph]

wow

[pliant gulch]

Not counting the hyperview stuff*

Since its a util, and not strictly used on the help command only

[lament mesa]

Laughs in 64 lines

[pliant gulch]

If I did it would still be under 300 lines

[maiden fable]

115 lines in one file only

there are 3 files

150 for me (approx)

[patent lark]

bruh.

[maiden fable]

hehe

[patent lark]

mines only 98

[maiden fable]

What about @unkempt canyon :stare:

[lament mesa]

but the paginator it uses is about ~230 lines

[pliant gulch]

Button paginators are pretty simple to make

[patent lark]

mines paginated as well but not even close to that-

[pliant gulch]

I could've made mine more compacted

[lament mesa]

formatting the pages were a pain ngl

[pliant gulch]

Why would you handle formatting in a paginator?

[lament mesa]

splitting the list into pages

[pliant gulch]

My paginator strictly paginates all the embed generation is done outside of it

[maiden fable]

I forgot what I was gonna do :stare:

[pliant gulch]

Hence again, util not strictly used for one thing

[pliant gulch]

Oh? How did you do that then

[lament mesa]

https://gist.github.com/Rashaad1268/3fcaaef6cc402b026ae09ac9fa6a173a

[pliant gulch]

Oh, I was talking about discord buttons

https://github.com/an-dyy/0x42/blob/master/src/utils/hyperview.py

[lament mesa]

too lazy to rewrite the paginator to use buttons

[maiden fable]

Well buttons are slower than reactions, soooo 🤷‍♂️

[pliant gulch]

[lament mesa]

working on a different project these days

[pliant gulch]

Buttons are not slow at all imo, and to evenly compare the two you would need to factor in the ratelimts, which for reactions is pretty high

[inland venture]

if message.channel.name == 'nice-place':
if user_message.lower() == 'hello':
await message.channel.send(f'Hello {username}!')
return

[maiden fable]

Yea that is true tho

[inland venture]

what do i type to make my bot do it on all channels

[patent lark]

since on_message is called every time a message is sent, you could remove your check for the channel name, and it would work in all channels.

[maiden fable]

andy also using jsk?

w o w

[pliant gulch]

I have no idea if the cached property even works to save time

[maiden fable]

Thought you made your own eval

:stare:

[pliant gulch]

I'm just hoping I won't need to keep calling get_command

[maiden fable]

Hmm

time to find other bots

[pliant gulch]

I would say in this repo, the thing that took me the most time was the warn sql code

[maiden fable]

Eh? Lemme see

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/an-dyy/0x42/blob/a69d77e3acb901e317f1ec4f476c7992be7e0347/schema.sql#L19-L33

[lament mesa]

Use pg_orm

[maiden fable]

Wait, what does DO $$ do?

[pliant gulch]

no clue I'm sql noob

Was worth it though, made my warn command super clean https://github.com/an-dyy/0x42/blob/a69d77e3acb901e317f1ec4f476c7992be7e0347/src/exts/mod.py#L105-L134

[maiden fable]

You only wrote that code

[maiden fable]

indeed. My help command is also just

@hunai.command(hidden=True)
async def help(ctx: commands.Context):
    view = HelpView(HelpDropdown(ctx.bot, ctx.author == hunai.owner))
    await ctx.send("HunHelp", view=view)

Clean 😄

[pliant gulch]

Well do $$ is basically just the function

[maiden fable]

Ah ok

[pliant gulch]

with my limited sql knowledge

[maiden fable]

Ah ok

I really want match case 🥺

[lament mesa]

dont we all

[maiden fable]

idk xD

[pliant gulch]

Just make a mapping at this point

[maiden fable]

?

[pliant gulch]

I actively avoid many if statements like that

[maiden fable]

h o w

[pliant gulch]

So I just make a mapping

[maiden fable]

Any example?

sends repo link again

[pliant gulch]

OPTION_MAPPING: typing.Dict[str, typing.Callable] = {"opt1": func1, "opt2": func2}

if user_choice in OPTION_MAPPING:
....return OPTION_MAPPING[user_choice](...)

[maiden fable]

Ah

Hmm, thanks for that! I'mma try that

So I can also make a single function/method and just use args and kwargs in it, no?

[pliant gulch]

Yes you could

[maiden fable]

And pass it to mapping

Cool

Thanks a ton

BTW u using typing.Dict... Is it different from dict?

[hasty iron]

no

i mean yes

in <3.10 doing something like dict[str, Any] would result in an error

[maiden fable]

Oh

but not with typing.Dict, ight?

[hasty iron]

yes

[pliant gulch]

3.10 allows for dict[..., ...]?

Pog

[hasty iron]

yes

[pliant gulch]

Well, actually

[maiden fable]

and I used to think I wrote the wrong syntax

[pliant gulch]

In <3.10 you could import annotations from __future__

And use dict[..., ...]

As it turns all annotations into strings

[hasty iron]

right but dict[…, …] looks ugly

[pliant gulch]

Yea, prefer typing.Dict[..., ...]

[slate nymph]

how should i import it?

like from where

also do i need to remove help command for that?

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def login(ctx):
    embed1 = discord.Embed(description='Please pay `50 Zains` to the authority.', color=0xa2f29b)
    await ctx.send('got you, have fun! to logout write `!logout`.')
    with open('logged.json', 'w') as logged:
        json.dump(ctx.author.id, logged)
    await asyncio.sleep(5 * 60)
    with open('logged.json', 'w') as logged:
        if ctx.author.id in logged:
            await ctx.send(content = f'||{ctx.author.mention}||', embed = embed1)
    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(10800)
        with open('logged.json', 'w') as logged:
            if ctx.author.id in logged:
                await ctx.send(content=f'||{ctx.author.mention}||', embed=embed1)

at the

        if ctx.author.id in logged:

line it says that the filr is not readable, what's wrong?

[pliant gulch]

Its, not a package you import rather just take a look at the code as a reference, you don't need to remove the help command as it overwrites bot.help_command when the cog is loaded.

You also would need to checkout the code for hyperview which the help command uses as a paginator

[maiden fable]

BTW andy have u tried converting a discord bot to Cython before?

[pliant gulch]

No I havent

I don't see the point of doing so either way

[hasty iron]

why would you want to anyways

[maiden fable]

Just asking

Yay the mapping works 😄

[slate nymph]

it says ..utills and..core cannot be resolved

[pliant gulch]

Use it as a reference

It won't work directly copy and pasted

[maiden fable]

lol

[slate nymph]

lol

[pliant gulch]

How does the code look now

[maiden fable]

So it is responding twice

and returning an already responded error

I will fix it in some time lol

[slate nymph]

help me then

heres my code then

[celest pewter]

Has anyone posted a queue music bot discord?

[maiden fable]

@patent lark

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/pumiqewato.rust

printing 2 twice but 1 isn't printed... any help?

[patent lark]

hmm

[maiden fable]

Hey @pliant gulch (sorry for the ping), but mind helping me?

[pliant gulch]

Problem tells me whatever option is, that it isn't in the mapping

Print out option I guess

[maiden fable]

Hmm ok

nothing was printed

Breh

[pliant gulch]

Would mean option is None then

[maiden fable]

And how did u know option is not in the mapping, that is why its sending twice?

[pliant gulch]

No, I knew because it wasn't printing 1

[maiden fable]

ah

so now what

[pliant gulch]

Seems like this is prob a user input error?

[maiden fable]

I mean, it is trying to send that same option twice, which I selected

[hasty iron]

actually why are you even executing those functions inside the mapping?

[pliant gulch]

Seems like this should work fine, if inputted correctly

[pliant gulch]

[hasty iron]

instead you could just remove await

[maiden fable]

eh, then how can I do?

[hasty iron]

grab the item from the mapping and then await it

[maiden fable]

ah ok

[pliant gulch]

Otherwise you would be calling a lot of unneeded stuff

Would be super inefficient

[maiden fable]

Hmm ok lemme try now

not it totally failed

like, it is trying to execute only one single method (the commands one)

[hasty iron]

isnt that what you want

[maiden fable]

It is executing that even when I select another option

[hasty iron]

what is your current code

[maiden fable]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/unipoloboj.rust

[hasty iron]

so, no matter what you input it always executes 'commands'

[maiden fable]

Yea

[pliant gulch]

What does option print out?

How do you input it?

[maiden fable]

Nothing

not even a new line

[pliant gulch]

If option is None it should not be passing the if statement

[maiden fable]

I select an option from the dropdown

[pliant gulch]

None the less, calling commands

[maiden fable]

but then, how is the function getting called?

wait

Lemme see if I overwrote something

nope, I don't think so

[slate swan]

anyone>

?

[dusky ocean]

how do i change the role icon of a role using a discord bot?

[slate swan]

does anyone have autorole code I can barrow?

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    role = discord.utils.get(member.server.roles, id="Id Here")
    await bot.add_roles(member, role)```

this is mine

but it doesnt work

[bitter depot]

That won't be possible with dpy since the feature was only just implemented into the Discord API and dpy isn't maintained anymore (so won't have these new features)

[pliant gulch]

Alright, I'll take a more in-depth look later as I'm setting up my dotfiles right now

[maiden fable]

Thanks!

[dusky ocean]

damn, thanks anyway

[slate swan]

any autrole code I can use?

[hasty iron]

no

[slate swan]

This is my code: #AutoRole Note: Not Included @bot.event async def on_member_join(member): role = discord.utils.get(member.server.roles, id="888819465020649533") await bot.add_roles(member, role)

it doesnt work

[bitter depot]

That's really old code

[slate swan]

but no errors were given

[hasty iron]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

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

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

[slate swan]

ahhh

so its just out of date

[hasty iron]

and its Member.guild

[bitter depot]

bot.add_roles(member, role) --> member.add_roles(role)
member.server --> member.guild
ids are now integers not strings
@slate swan

[slate swan]

ok thanks

[hasty iron]

not Member.server

[solid summit]

Is the discordpy v2 beta worth using or should I seek a fork or maybe a diff lib?

[brazen raft]

PyCord is a fork. You won't have to change any code, just pip uninstall discord.py and pip install py-cord

Wrong reply, meant to reply @solid summit

[solid summit]

I'll take a look at it

[past ermine]

I have a question:
If I put

from functiontext.py import functiontext
``` and then put
```py
async def test(ctx):
  functiontext()
``` does that work? or do i have to def it in `functiontext.py` ?

like ```py
def functiontext():
await ctx.send("test")

[brazen raft]

Wow, what?

You have a function in another Python file which you want to import?

[past ermine]

yeah, to make my code a bit more organized

like what it should do is just to send("test")

[brazen raft]

# functiontext.py
async def functiontext(ctx):
    await ctx.send("test")

from functiontext import functiontext

async def test(ctx):
    await functiontext(ctx)

[past ermine]

hmm

let me try

[brazen raft]

The files have to be in the same folder

[candid pier]

Hi! I need help: I am create a slash command in cog file, and I did not know, how to realise it

[slate nymph]

      if args == hi:
            await ctx.channel.send("Hello")```

why isnt this working?

[brazen raft]

Put a comma after the *

[past ermine]

yay, tysm

[brazen raft]

And put hi in quotes like "hi"

[slate nymph]

*,args?

[brazen raft]

Yeah

[slate nymph]

oh k

[brazen raft]

Also ctx.channel.send can be shortened to ctx.send

[slate nymph]

oh k thanks

also if i had to send both string and int how will i do it?

[brazen raft]

!f-string

[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.

Hi, I'm re-creating (and not forking) discord.py (called Disthon) using the code form discord.py, discord.js and Sapphire framework.
I need programming experts to lend me a hand with the project. If anyone's interested in contributing, please reply to this message

[slate nymph]

aww tysm

[past ermine]

@brazen raft it worked with the test command but doesnt with my help one

[brazen raft]

How does your help command look

[past ermine]

import discord
async def help(ctx):
  ""insert embed fields and all here""
  await ctx.send(embed=embhelp)

and ```py
from help import help
@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
help(ctx)

[brazen raft]

You forgot await before help(ctx)

[maiden fable]

Use "" instead of **

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_command And instead you can use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_command

add_command(command)```
Adds a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") into the internal list of commands.

This is usually not called, instead the [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.command "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.command") or [`group()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.group "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.group") shortcut decorators are used instead.

Changed in version 1.4: Raise [`CommandRegistrationError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandRegistrationError "discord.ext.commands.CommandRegistrationError") instead of generic [`ClientException`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.ClientException "discord.ClientException")

[past ermine]

nope,
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

nvm

it worked

can i do that for an

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

[past ermine]

@brazen raft ?

[brazen raft]

Yeah... Maybe name the function something else? help() is a built-in function in Python.

[past ermine]

yeah, i fixed it

i renamed it like the ```py
from help import help > from help import helpcmd

[brazen raft]

Maybe instead of passing ctx, pass the channel object.

Then you can use message.channel in the on_message event

For the functions

[past ermine]

ok thx

[patent lark]

can anyone send me the link to the source code of jishaku?

[reef shell]

!pypi jishaku

[unkempt canyon]

jishaku v2.3.0

A discord.py extension including useful tools for bot development and debugging.

[reef shell]

then goto thier github repo

[patent lark]

why didnt i just do that smh.

thank you.

[reef shell]

np

[slate swan]

if args == "hi"

hi is str

[brazen raft]

Yeah.

[reef shell]

it is better than any other fork atm imo

[rustic lily]

i'm trying to make a piece of code execute every day based on utc, is there any easy way of doing this?

kinda like how @tasks.loop work

[reef shell]

Maybe using tasks.loop to loop task every 5 minute and check the time.. and if the time is your preferred time's range then execute the code block

[rustic lily]

suppose that would work

[distant tree]

is there a way to stream audio through a bot without ffmpeg?

[reef shell]

Bruh typing in mobile is shit

[rustic lily]

true

[brazen raft]

Why as and not with?

[rustic lily]

well, my internet is kinda shitty

so it dies about once per day

and @tasks.loop would reset every time the bot is back up

[brazen raft]

You can put your bot on AWS

On a virtual machine

[rustic lily]

but moneeyyyyyy

[brazen raft]

It's free

[rustic lily]

oh

h uh

[brazen raft]

If you put it on a Windows virtual machine you can SSH to it and Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V the folder of your bot

You'd have to install Python and all the packages on there, obviously

[rustic lily]

it would still have to go offline whenever i update the code

[sick birch]

not if you use extensions

you can reload code without shutting down the whole bot

[rustic lily]

yes but i'd like to be able to update the main file if needed

which i do from time to time

[bitter depot]

return ctx.author.id == 1234 or any(...)

[manic blaze]

can i grab the discord id of a channel by the name
im tryna make a command to make a channela nd send messages in it instantly
but idk how to get the id

[brisk fiber]

new_channel = await bot.my_guild.create_text_channel() new_channel is now a channel object of the new channel

[lyric moat]

why this gives error?

        player = await YTDLSource.from_url(url, loop=client.loop)```

[manic blaze]

so how would I send a message in said new_channel

[brisk fiber]

same way as for any other channel— await new_channel.send(“stuff”)

[manic blaze]

aight bet

[scarlet snow]

you didn't imported the lib

Hi. why im getting this responed?

[reef shell]

seems like a list of api response(json)

[slate swan]

Hi

Why im getting this respond?

[reef shell]

can you show your code?

[slate swan]

Why i cant send pictures

[reef shell]

you can and it's better if you paste the code here with python formatting

!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.

[reef shell]

or

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

lemme try that

did it but got this

[slate swan]

music isn't defined

read it before sending it

[plucky shoal]

Are you using ytdl?

[slate swan]

how can i join a guild off the id

not using a selfbot just in discord

Why im getting this respond?

[slate swan]

you can't

[slate swan]

stop asking this without the code

[reef shell]

How much time will you ask the same q.
you should share the code to get help

lol

[slate swan]

if you ask this without code again I1m pinging mods

[slate swan]

@bot.listen('on_message')
async def on_message(msg):
    if msg.author == bot.user:
        return
    if msg.channel.id == 885868705454628927:
        message = msg.content
        url = f"https://api.pgamerx.com/v5/ai"
        headers = {
            'Authorization': "Api_key",
            }
        params = {
            "message": message,
            "server": "main"
            }
        response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=params)
        json = response.json()
        await msg.reply(json)

I'm known for not knowing json

[reef shell]

this is actually working the way you/your code wanted

what's the issue?

[slate swan]

.

[slate swan]

wdym

[reef shell]

you converted the response object to json format and replied to the context that's what i meant

[slate swan]

oh

[slate swan]

so thats why its responding like that

?

[untold token]

That's a json response returned by the API

You need parse through it get whatever data you want

[untold token]

Btw don't use requests

That's blocking

Use aiohttp

[reef shell]

[slate swan]

if im importing that. what i need to change

[untold token]

Well if you using aiohttp, it's quite different

As there are multiple way to make requests

[reef shell]

you might be wanting to reply to the context with that 'response' key's value

[untold token]

import aiohttp
url = "someapi.url"
# creating an Aiohttp ClientSession
# A Client session is basically an instance of an aiohttp client that you can use to make HTTP requests to an API
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session: 
   # using context managers, that will handle the ClientSessions aka creating and closing a Client session instance
   async with session.get(url=url) as resp: 
    # making an GET HTTP request to an API
   response = await resp.json() # let's assume the API is returning json data
   print(response) # printing the response returned from the API 

This is one way to send HTTP requests to an API

And

import aiohttp
url = "someapi.url"
# this is a much simpler method to make API requests without creating an aiohttp Client instance
# Aiohttp ClientSessions are recommended as you can create one session and use that session anywhere
# But in this case, you need use aiohttp.request method everytime you want to make a request to an API
async with aiohttp.request("GET", url=url) as resp: 
    # making an GET HTTP request to an API
   response = await resp.json() # let's assume the API is returning json data
   print(response) # printing the response returned from the API  

This one is another way to make requests, the difference is
That ClientSessions are sessions, this means you can create one session and use that session everywhere

[slate swan]

how can i do link blocker?

[untold token]

And the arguments like headers and parameters are both same in aiohttp and requests

[untold token]

You need an on_message event and then check for links

[slate swan]

oh

ok

[untold token]

But you need to use regex to check links in a message

[slate swan]

what i need to write here?

[untold token]

First of all, you should use .listen() instead of .event (I will explain why)

Second, on_message event takes message object as an argument, not context, but in your ctx would be a message object and not a context object

[slate swan]

what now?

[slate swan]

too complicated. Idk a thing about aiohttp

[untold token]

For regex link checking, I would recommend you read this

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6038061/regular-expression-to-find-urls-within-a-string

[untold token]

I don't think its really complicated

Show your code with aiohttp atleast

[full lily]

This sounds like "I am not willing to learn"

[slate swan]

I cant finish that. Idk a thing about that

[untold token]

Message not messgae

And message takes a message object,
So if you want actual content aka the message string,
You need to do message.content

So something like

[slate swan]

my bad

if isinstance(error, commands.MemberNotFound):
        embed = discord.Embed(description=f"{notcheck} {error}",color=color)
        await ctx.reply(embed=embed)```

how can i get just the members name

[untold token]

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
   if message.author == bot.user:
        return # this checks if the message sent is by the bot or not, this check is important as on_message events consider bot messages as message too, `message.author` returns the member object of who sent the message 
  text = message.content # content aka message string ```

@slate swan read this and stack post, that much is enough to figure out what to do

And when you want delete message with links

[slate swan]

out of that

[untold token]

You need to use .delete() method

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

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

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

[untold token]

You can get members through context

That is passed in the error handler

str(ctx.author) returns the username and tag of command invoker aka who ran the command

[slate swan]

i didn't touch much time in d.py, how can i make the bot send message if i have no ctx?

channel.send not works

message.channel.send

[slate swan]

so just ctx.member

[slate swan]

thx

[untold token]

message.channel.send()
message.channel returns the channel object where the message was send

and .send() sends the message

[slate swan]

if "https://" in message.content

[untold token]

That would be bugged

So
When someone types
```hey https://``

[slate swan]

this only works if the message is explicitly just https://

ahhhh new error

[untold token]

That if statement will be satisfied and it will send the message

[slate swan]

just message.delete()

[untold token]

^

await message.delete()

not message.author.delete()

I linked you the docs

[slate swan]

this if statement won't trigger when anything's after https://

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```

[untold token]

if "https://" in message.content would trigger everytime that string is inside a string

No matter what its placement is

that's how the in keyword works

[slate swan]

if message.content == "https://" won't trigger if the message is not just "https://"

why would you do that

[slate swan]

that's the point

bru

[untold token]

So then
hey "https://" will be triggered too

That's not a link?

[slate swan]

yes

there is something like message.content.startswith?

https://

[untold token]

Yes

[slate swan]

this isn't a link either

because it's blocked just https:// and nothing else

I would get a warning for just writing https://

[untold token]

Hm yes

But in your way, that would happen too

[slate swan]

but not if I write https://discord.com

then I wouldn't

[untold token]

Hmm

[slate swan]

that's what I thought

[untold token]

Yes because in the OP's way, if the whole string = "https://" then it would send the message

But that can be bypassable

I was just highlighting the flaw in your method

In both of the methods

That's why regex is recommended

[slate swan]

Trying to figure out why this isn't working

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
        if filename.endswith('.py'):
            client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')
            print(f"{Color.GREEN}Loaded Cog: {filename[:-3]}{Color.RESET}")
    await asyncio.sleep(5)
    os.system('clear')
    print("Bot is online!")


#this part here is in my cogs file, named test.py

class test(commands.Cog):

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

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


    
def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(test(client))

Shouldn't this work? In the terminal it says that the Cog "test" has loaded, however when I try to run the ping command it doesn't work

if isinstance(error, commands.MemberNotFound):
        embed = discord.Embed(description=f"{notcheck} {member} was not found in this server",color=color)
        await ctx.reply(embed=embed)

``` how can i get the member not found

[untold token]

MemberNotfound.argument

[slate swan]

ctx.member didnt work

[untold token]

ctx.member won't work

.member is not an attribute of Context

.arguement attribute returns the member that was not found

[slate swan]

use that?

[untold token]

!d discord.ext.commands.MemberNotFound.argument

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MemberNotFound.argument

The member supplied by the caller that was not found

[untold token]

Hmmm, do you have any on_message event?

[slate swan]

mhm

[untold token]

.

Do you have any on_message event @slate swan

[slate swan]

Nope, I can try make one?

[untold token]

Ah okay

[slate swan]

Also I just did this

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class test(commands.Cog):

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

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("testing")


    
def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(test(client))

And got no output

[untold token]

Well it says the cog is loaded, you don't get command ping?

Hmm

Well, your code isn't wrong

And your cog us loading too

Maybe try changing file names

Like you have class and filename as test

[slate swan]

fair

[untold token]

I don't think it will change anything but try it

[slate swan]

Restarted my vscode instance somehow fixed it

🤷‍♂️

[inland venture]

if user_message.startswith() == 'how':

it said i need argument but what am i supposed to put?

[lyric moat]

error 😕

https://pastebin.com/RBRQwPjp

[slate swan]

Wdym

[lyric moat]

anyone?

[slate swan]

And I think you mean ```py
if message.content == "how":
#epic code here

[inland venture]

if user_message.startswith() == 'how':
is not working

it said i need to add argument but i dont get it

[slate swan]

Where message is an argument

[slate swan]

user_message isn't a thing I'm 90% sure

[slate swan]

You need a setup function outside of the Player class

class Player(commands.Cog):
#your code

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(Player(client))

[lyric moat]

in music.py or main.py

[slate swan]

music.py I think??

[slate swan]

Wherever your code for this is, just put this outside the class, it should add the cog. Also you need to load the cog within main.py but I'm sure you already have done that

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(Player(client))

[lyric moat]

Does not work

[slate swan]

You sure you added setup outside of your player class?

[lyric moat]

i added it in music.py

[slate swan]

What's the error

[upbeat vigil]

hey can someone help me with this

[upbeat vigil]

idk whats wrong it usually works

[slate swan]

Did you load the cog in main.py?

[lyric moat]

when i put music.py in a cog it gives error

[slate swan]

You typed in asnyc, its async

[wicked atlas]

async, notasnyc

[lyric moat]

from music import Player - this gives error when i tried

[upbeat vigil]

omg im actually so dumb

i need coffee

[slate swan]

nooo

[lyric moat]

from music import Player this is in main.py

[slate swan]

Ok so within main.py you should have something that loads cog, you don't manually import it

Well you can

But this is just for the sake of making things easier

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
        if filename.endswith('.py'):
            client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')
            print(f"Loaded Cog: {filename[:-3]}")

This here upon bot connecting it will load cogs within your "cogs" folder

?

[lyric moat]

In cog?

[patent lark]

spelt async wrong.

[upbeat vigil]

#on mem join
@bot.command()
async def on_member_join(ctx, member):
  await bot.get_guild(882405229000282172)
  await bot.get_channel(888560564626948146)
  embed = discord.Embed(title="wlc <̶3̶", color=0x607d8b)
  embed.set_thumbnail(f"i.pinimg.com/564x/6f/a2/46/6fa246a6677075e79f5a2d8e426417d")
  embed.add_field(name=" <&roleid> • `<𝟛`",
                    value=f"""
  #roles & #req
  """)
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)``` if someone can tell me where i messed up that would be great

it shows 0 syntax errors but nothing happens on_member_join

[full lily]

you put @bot.command()

but it's an event

[upbeat vigil]

:O

SORRY lmao im rlly new to doing thi

[full lily]

no problemo

[upbeat vigil]

thank uu

[full lily]

also the get_guild and get_channel look redundant to me

unless you plan on using it later

[upbeat vigil]

so only get_channel() is nescesarry?

also is it client.event or bot.event

because bot.event didnt work

[slate swan]

depends on what you named the variable

[upbeat vigil]

i named it bot

and i get this error

[full lily]

without brackets

[upbeat vigil]

i see

thank you very much

@self.event
async def on_message(message):
    print(self)

>>> <discord.Client subclass obj blah blah>

(When subclassing discord.Client) - why is self in the scope of this method? It's not explicitly passed through as an argument - what is event doing behind the scenes? Am I missing something obvious?

[pure totem]

is there a way to permanetly delete pymache.py? because everytime i run it pops up

and makes my bot go offline

[bitter perch]

this isn't a subclass. When subclassing you don't use the event deco

but self refers to the current instance.

[icy seal]

i had just omitted some of the surrounding code. and that was the solution i was using, but i was wondering why my example there happens

python classes explicitly pass the object instance through a method as the first argument, like you said, self

[bitter perch]

It's an implicit pass

[icy seal]

yes, i realised that. i was wondering if anyone had an explanation as to why the behaviour is like this

[bitter perch]

events are just methods

and most just do nothing

even you use x.event deco, it just sets that method to the decorated func

[icy seal]

are you referring to the __pycache__ folder?

[bitter perch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/client.py#L1018-L1045

@icy seal

Just runs set attr

[pure totem]

yes

[bitter perch]

It doesn't, it's just cached python bytecode

[icy seal]

That folder is very very unlikely to be causing issues with your code, and you shouldn't really need to delete it or prevent it from being genrated

[bitter perch]

You can prevent it with an environment variable

[pure totem]

oh ok

thanks i'll do that

[bitter perch]

PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1

But there's 0 reason to do this.

[pliant gulch]

What does __pycache__ have anything to do with your bot going down?

I'm assuming you have a cog loader that loads __pycache__ probably

[stark hearth]

__pycache__ is just an interpreter

[forest mortar]

SO I have my friend that wants to use youtube_dl fr his bot, but when he sepecifies like from youtube_dl it don't works please help me.

[stark hearth]

here is a why better explanation on it https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16869024/what-is-pycache

[stark hearth]

i cant help you with that because it breaks youtube tos, sorry

[forest mortar]

ok
