discord-bots

[slate swan]

and it's not getting logged in a file, probably

[pliant gulch]

Ok, so you just invalidated your own point about .env files

[slate swan]

i make my token an import like

token = input("token: ")

[hasty iron]

that seems annoying

[slate swan]

nah its not that bad

[pliant gulch]

Seen a lot of selfbots do that

[slate swan]

i always have the dev page open anyway

I made my token like
bot.run("literally my token")

[slate swan]

every selfbot has that or a json

[pliant gulch]

CLI anything in discord.py is just sus

[reef shell]

xd

[slate swan]

i could report so many of my friends for selbotting

but they will get caught eventually so

tell them to stop

[hasty iron]

partner in crime i see

[slate swan]

they only use it for like fun commands

[reef shell]

eh?

[slate swan]

and activity

I hate self-bots

even though you can set your own 😹

they spam me and I can't reply

[pliant gulch]

inb4 person accesses some random endpoint and gets their discord account terminated

[reef shell]

Changing role colour and activity every miliseconds🗿

[slate swan]

can't

[reef shell]

Ik

But they try

[slate swan]

immediate block

[pliant gulch]

Discord has said specifically no rainbow roles

[slate swan]

bro its so annoying because i used to nuke WHICH I AM NOT PROUD OF AT ALL AND DO NOT DO IT MY FRIEND GOT ME INTO IT AND ITS HOW I GOT INTO CODING but and now when i make a new account it gets phone locked and stuff, its mad annoying

kekw

[reef shell]

🤣

[slate swan]

that's karma at maximum

[pliant gulch]

should've used your brain

[hasty iron]

(if you have one)

[slate swan]

it used to be so fun, then once i kept getting termed i realized it wasnt worth it now i cant even buy nitro 😹

[reef shell]

What's the point tho

[hasty iron]

yeah, feels bad not wasting 5$ on discord cool stuff

[slate swan]

it was entertaning, to nuke like a crazy big server and watch the bans go up

and epic games just throws it to millions of people in 3 days

[reef shell]

Ok we should not discuss bout this

[slate swan]

tru

[hasty iron]

fits your name

[slate swan]

lol

[reef shell]

I've seen a server got nuked by some random normal members

Without any role

[slate swan]

can't imagine how many times you broke the ToS

it's crazy ever since i stopped you guys have actually helped me a lot and made coding fun

and you're still here

[slate swan]

i can't even count

but i don't break it anymore so

the most i've done was log into my friends acc with his token 😹😹

[hasty iron]

"i was doing crime and i am not doing it anymore therefore i am innocent"

[slate swan]

he's still in jail

i was doing crime that is illegal on discord.com

can't make a new account or buy nitro

[reef shell]

.gg

[slate swan]

well deserved lol

i was gonna try and become a discord staff but i know that would be 99% impossible because of what ive done

[hasty iron]

LOL

[reef shell]

DiScOrD sTaFF

🗿

[slate swan]

I think-
I think that chance is a bit more than that

[hasty iron]

#❓｜how-to-get-help #python-discussion

i dont see why you’re trying to decompile a pyc file too

[slate swan]

99.1 lmao

is that even python

[pliant gulch]

Wouldn't a decompiled pyc file be just the regular py file

[slate swan]

[reef shell]

Marshal data is something I've never heard

[slate swan]

do you guys ever go to the dpy server and help?

or are there already enough people

[hasty iron]

no

[slate swan]

im banned cuz i wouldnt change my bots prefix 😹

[hasty iron]

bot prefixes can be annoying though there

[slate swan]

bro what

[hasty iron]

you’re trying to test your bot and 50 million random bots appear

[slate swan]

oh lol

I never go there

rs i told them i had a cmd to change it and that danny could change it if he wanted to

but they didnt care

I always wonder why everyone's an asshole there

[hasty iron]

you probably did something more

that’s not true though

[reef shell]

If you are the bot owner why can't you

[hasty iron]

they’re assholes to people who pretend to know what they’re talking about aka skids

[slate swan]

i didnt have permissions

at the time i didnt know that i could make a cmd work for a certain id

[icy seal]

Is using a local filesystem (JSON format) appropriate for a small-scale client?

[hasty iron]

if you want something file based use sqlite

its a database

and it’s fairly lightweight

[icy seal]

I am going to come across as a bit inexperienced here, so apologies in advance, but could I ask the advantages of a database on a small-scale? I should really learn them at some point... I'm really procrastinating it, but I don't fully understand their uses

From what I know files are dangerous to work with in case it might be accessed from multiple points... or maybe speed? But I know very little about the details

(Regardless though thank you for the suggestion and I will check it out)

[soft trout]

I dont understand what TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable is.

@client.command()
async def leaderboard(ctx):
    for current_user in report['users']:
      lvl=current_user['level']
      newlvl=sorted(lvl)
      print(newlvl)

Error:

    ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "main.py", line 381, in leaderboard
    newlvl=sorted(lvl)
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

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

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

[slate swan]

after in, you should put something iterable

for example a list or an array

[icy seal]

oh it's not that actually

[slate swan]

report['users']
returned you a single int

[soft trout]

not really

[icy seal]

you attempt to use newlvl=sorted(lvl)

lvl needs to be an iterable for this to work

[slate swan]

oh lol

[soft trout]

I printed out lvl and it gave me

[slate swan]

should've been more careful

[soft trout]

3
8
0
2
0
0
0
7

it gave me that

[icy seal]

eh i wouldve made the same mistake DiaPikachu

turtlecow try printing the type

[slate swan]

is that a string?

should've given like
[3, 8, 0]...

[soft trout]

well it is a string then...

[slate swan]

bruh it's too late for me

[icy seal]

it's most likely a string with numbers split by newlines

[slate swan]

it literally said int

I'm gonna go sleep

[icy seal]

oh ur right

[soft trout]

How do I make them a int

[icy seal]

I need more info about your variable lvl

debug it with print(type(lvl), repr(lvl))

should be enough

[soft trout]

<class 'int'> 3
<class 'int'> 8
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 2
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 7
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 2
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0
<class 'int'> 0

gave me that

[soft trout]

this was a long time ago lemme renew it

[icy seal]

oh that's multiple print statements then

i think your issue is how you're thinking about this

when you do leaderboard, it's called multiple times with only a single lvl variable

as you see there, each time a <class 'int'> number is printed, that's bc leaderboard has been called, and that's lvl

when you do sorted(lvl), you're sorting a single number

[soft trout]

How would i sort all of them

[icy seal]

which to python obviously makes no sense, int is not iterable

well you'd need to store all of the levels

so that you have a variable which contains something you can actually sort

which has all the data you want

newlvl = sorted(u['level'] for u in report['users'])
print(newlvl)
>>> [0,0,0,0,1,2,3,7,8]

i was mistaken - the issue is probably because you're iterating over a single item but treating it as the entire list

[soft trout]

how would you reverse the list

[icy seal]

reversed(list_object)

[soft trout]

newlvl = sorted(u['level'] for u in report['users'], reversed=True)

[soft trout]

would this work tho?

[icy seal]

that would, although the keyword argument is reverse, not reversed

[soft trout]

yeah

well i did that and it says Generator expression must be parenthesized

[icy seal]

really? actually that's weird. regardless:
sorted([u['level'] for u in report['users']])

wrap it in square brackets. (regarding the error, i thought you could forego parentheses for generator expression if it was inside a function's parentheses)

[soft trout]

thanks

[icy seal]

actually, could i ask what version you're using?

[soft trout]

lemme check

3.8.10

[icy seal]

interesting, ty

[light radish]

Hey guys, what is the best choice? Pycord or Nextcord?

[lyric moat]

i tried this to show user activity no error but would not respond

@client.command
async def status(ctx):
  await ctx.send(ctx.author.activities[0].name)```

[lament salmon]

what is ctx?

[icy seal]

it’s a context object which i believe is defined in discord.ext.commands

[lament salmon]

oh ok

[icy seal]

also @lyric moat try printing it out to the console

[lyric moat]

[icy seal]

i would look through the documentation to see why your code isn’t working but honestly it’s just faster to have you debug it lol

[lyric moat]

it gave me something to import and it still do not work

[lyric moat]

kk

[icy seal]

wdym it gave you something to import?

what was the output when you printed it?

[lyric moat]

this

from discord import Member

[icy seal]

what is mins supposed to be

@lyric moat could you print the output from the console? discord.Member is just a standard object type in the discord library, idk what u mean by it gave you it to import

[tulip oracle]

that is basic python, you are calling a var that isnt defined yet

like getting something out of thin air

no error or nothing called the your check isnt being called

i dont really understand this

@ everyone role is in every channel

by not checking for that?

well like i said

its a weird check

[somber musk]

how can i use from discord.ext import commands

[valid niche]

General discord API question. Directly interfacing with the gateway API yields me a HELLO on connect, when i send back HEARTBEAT and then IDENTIFY, the next message i get from the gateway is a CLOSE with code 1002. I have been told it's because the payloads for what i sent are wrong, but idk what exactly is wrong.

communication

{"t":null,"s":null,"op":10,"d":{"heartbeat_interval":41250,"_trace":["[\"gateway-prd-main-1bw8\",{\"micros\":0.0}]"]}}

            'compress': True,
            }
        await self.socket.send_json(payload, compress=9)

whats the difference of discord.Bot and commands.Bot?

[valid niche]

one exists and the other one doesn't

but--

[valid niche]

not sure where you found that

but that doesn't exist

[slate swan]

oh

[valid niche]

or wait

unless the slashcommands library named it Bot

for odd reasons

[honest wing]

@bot.command()
async def banner(ctx, user: discord.User=None):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    if user == None:
        r = requests.get(f"https://discord.com/api/v9/users/{bot.user.id}", headers={"Authorization": "Bot " + TOKEN}).json()

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

Always says you don't have a banner even if you have one, and I have no clue what to do lol

[valid niche]

why are you using requests tho

[honest wing]

I'm using below 2.0

[valid niche]

that...does not matter

[honest wing]

.banner doesn't work below 2

[valid niche]

requests in dpy have always been a bad thing since the start of the library

[slate swan]

But why

[valid niche]

because async

blocking

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

[honest wing]

i know about async blocking

[slate swan]

I didn't know they block async

[honest wing]

i don't feel like not using requests

[valid niche]

requests isn't async so it's blocking

aiohttp is async and doesn't block

easy as that

[slate swan]

Fair

So use aiohttp instead

[tulip oracle]

how can i use await commands.MemberConverter.convert() accurately? i see no description in the docs of supplying the id= or name=, so if i add (ctx,argument) it asks for the argument? confused

[valid niche]

and strange, you should print out the request and see what it all contains

[valid niche]

@commands.command()
async def foo(ctx, member: discord.Member):
  # code here

there now you used the converter

[tulip oracle]

yeah i cant use typehint converter for this module

[honest wing]

it just contains the banner, i had it working on a mention, just not self.

[tulip oracle]

purposefully

[valid niche]

i mean you're adding yourself a lot more hassle...for what seems no reason,

Anyways you get the on_message, which gets processed by the bot internally, or in an on_message event using process_commands

This gets the context, and invokes it. ctx.invoke is a shortcut (with extra stuff) for ctx.command.invoke so it goes there

This invoke call calls prepare on the ctx. Prepare does the last bits and things like parse the arguments. This can be found here: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/45d498c1b76deaf3b394d17ccf56112fa691d160/discord/ext/commands/core.py#L816

Parsing the arguments is done here: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/45d498c1b76deaf3b394d17ccf56112fa691d160/discord/ext/commands/core.py#L700
This part runs the converters.

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ext/commands/core.py line 816

await self._parse_arguments(ctx)```
`discord/ext/commands/core.py` line 700
```py
async def _parse_arguments(self, ctx: Context) -> None:```

[valid niche]

from there it should be fine i guess

you should be able to figure it out

[tulip oracle]

yeah thanks man, worked. but it still called the error i was having problems with earlier 😭

haha

need a different method to ban a user in the same command, and adapt to the user being in the server and not

[valid niche]

just typehint to discord.User

and do guild.ban(user)

works for both members in and out of the guild

!d discord.Guild.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.ban

await ban(user, *, reason=None, delete_message_days=1)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Bans a user from the guild.

The user must meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

You must have the [`ban_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.ban_members "discord.Permissions.ban_members") permission to do this.

[tulip oracle]

i see, thank you

[zenith hare]

a few days ago I asked for help with this problem, someone told me to try enabling the attempts, but the same problem is still happening

[zenith hare]

code is here

[valid niche]

discord will only tell the bot what the invite code was of the deleted invite. The user and such must be cached by your client. If not then it's just None

intents is a requirement for this caching, and for the rest it's just.....whatever happens

[slate phoenix]

bot.get_channel isnt a coroutine you have to use await bot.fetch_channel

or remove await

[jade jolt]

fetch_channel uses the API, get_channel is from cache iirc

[slate phoenix]

yep

[jade jolt]

just a better idea to use get_channel whenever you can

[jade jolt]

he uses .send in the same line, he has to use await

only noticed that just now

[slate phoenix]

oh yea i didnt notice that either

[zenith hare]

noted, thanks guys

[woeful fable]

hi, just wondering if its possible for me to write some code inside main.py and have it trigger learn and generate to run

[jade jolt]

thats possible.

[woeful fable]

specifically im trying to make on_message inside main.py pass the message content for the learn.py to write into the dictionary

[jade jolt]

sorta

[woeful fable]

meaning every message triggers the learn app to learn it

[jade jolt]

uhhh yeah thats possible

[woeful fable]

may i ask how?

[jade jolt]

let me make an example brb

[honest wing]

    permissions = ch.permissions_for(ctx.author)
AttributeError: 'Object' object has no attribute 'permissions_for'```

what is this error

[slate phoenix]

what ever variable ch is does have the attribute permissions_for

ck.permissions_for doesnt exist

[honest wing]

i have no ch variable lmfao

[wicked atlas]

Can you send your code?

[slate phoenix]

post your full code

[honest wing]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
async def setprefix(ctx, new_prefix):
    await bot.db.execute('UPDATE guilds SET prefix = $1 WHERE "guild_id" = $2', new_prefix, ctx.guild.id)
    embed = discord.Embed(description=f"Prefix has been updated to {new_prefix}", color=0x2f3136)
    embed.set_footer(text=footer)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

Error happens with that command

[whole plinth]

I would like to verify members by sending a code to their mailbox (of our organization) and let them send it back to the bot. To verify that they are from the organization...
Is there something like this?

[wicked atlas]

Does it work without the has_permissions decorator?

[honest wing]

I'll check

[honest wing]

Brings a error

    await bot.db.execute('UPDATE guilds SET prefix = $1 WHERE "guild_id" = $2', new_prefix, ctx.guild.id)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'```

[wicked atlas]

Where are you running this command from?

[honest wing]

Wdym?

[wicked atlas]

This is a discord bot command. Where are you running the command

[honest wing]

In my server

[river walrus]

Maybe a DMChannel?

[wicked atlas]

They say they're doing it in their server

[river walrus]

Oh

Hmmm

[wicked atlas]

@honest wing Can you print out the type of ctx?

print(type(ctx))

[vague fable]

Guys how can I add a space in a discord def

Or at least imitate the function

[wicked atlas]

def?

[vague fable]

like if I want to make a function _Example example

[vague fable]

function I mean

[wicked atlas]

You can't have spaces in function names

[vague fable]

Or how can I like

async Example():
example = blahblah

[honest wing]

where @? in the command?

[wicked atlas]

in the command

before the first line

[honest wing]

ok

[wicked atlas]

with your DB stuff

[vague fable]

let me get a help channel

[wicked atlas]

Ok, something is happening that might be messing with your context object

What version of dpy do you have?

[honest wing]

ill check 1 sec

is it
import discord
print(discord.version)

[wicked atlas]

I think it's ```py
discord.version

[honest wing]

i totally forgot ngl

1.5.0

[wicked atlas]

Ah, so you're using an older version

Install the newest release

[honest wing]

the command was working earlier though, idk what happened

[slate swan]

1.4.2 > all

[honest wing]

hi pookie bear

[slate swan]

huh

[honest wing]

intents = discord.Intents(messages=True, members=True)
member_cache_flags = discord.MemberCacheFlags.none()```

```py
intents=intents, member_cache_flags=member_cache_flags```

was messing it up for some reason, thank you guys tho

[rugged tinsel]

how do you make a command cooldown for every 5 seconds?

[slate swan]

i believe it's
@commands.cooldown(1,5 BucketType.user)

@rugged tinsel

i could be wrong

[rugged tinsel]

ok

ill try it out

it should be above client command?

[final iron]

You missed a comma

[rugged tinsel]

wait where?

[final iron]

1, 5,

[rugged tinsel]

ooh

[final iron]

Also you should of sent the documentation

[vague fable]

can anyone help #help-popcorn

[slate swan]

i couldn't find it

[final iron]

You could of just searched for it

[slate swan]

hm

[lofty heron]

hi, how can i make my bot create an invite for the guilds it is in? i have the guild ids

[empty raven]

I got banned for using a python bot 😟

[surreal creek]

?

[lyric moat]

how can i make server banner command?

[surreal creek]

wht do u mean ?
u want a bot to add a server banner ?

[lyric moat]

yeah and like show the server banner

[young acorn]

You guys know of a way to have the bot periodically execute a subroutine?

[empty raven]

@surreal creek I made a bot through python and it was flagged saying it was a self bot 🥺

[surreal creek]

hmm

[surreal creek]

then idk

[lyric moat]

ok how i make it show the server banner?

[surreal creek]

no 😦
sry

[surreal creek]

idk

[empty raven]

Ya my main account got disabled does anyone know or if my account will be undisabled

I put in a claim

[surreal creek]

idk

[surreal creek]

wait lemme send a sample code

[empty raven]

Welp rip my nitro 😭

[young acorn]

Thanks

[surreal creek]

import asynciot#The only thing u need to import 
async def forever():
  print('Task Complete')
  asyncio.sleep(15)

  

bot.loop.create_task(forever())

[surreal creek]

try this

hope it works 🙂

[young acorn]

Ah okay, you can create a task with the bot

[lyric moat]

error why it sends 2 times?

[final iron]

I'm pretty sure there's something in discord tos about privacy for servers and by joining them through your bot would be breaking tos

[surreal creek]

ur code ?

[young acorn]

cool thanks

[lyric moat]

@client.command()
async def banner(ctx):

    if not ctx.guild.banner:
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Server has no banner!", color=0xf7fcfd)
        return await ctx.send(embed=embed)

    else:
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"Banner of {ctx.guild.name}", color=0xf7fcfd)
        embed.set_image(url=ctx.guild.banner_url_as(format='png'))
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

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

[surreal creek]

ah i seee

[lyric moat]

btw how i make it the same size as the banner?

[surreal creek]

@client.command()
async def banner(ctx):

    if not ctx.guild.banner:
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Server has no banner!", color=0xf7fcfd)
        return await ctx.send(embed=embed)

    else:
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"Banner of {ctx.guild.name}", color=0xf7fcfd)
        embed.set_image(url=ctx.guild.banner_url_as(format='png'))
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)#THIS IS FIRST TIME

    await ctx.send(embed=embed) #THIS IS SECOND TIME

[surreal creek]

idk that 😐

[surreal creek]

@lyric moat
check the comment

[lyric moat]

still sends 2 times

[surreal creek]

resend ur code

[lofty heron]

oh hmm true

[lyric moat]

^^

[lofty heron]

well tenks dodged a bullet

[surreal creek]

delete the last await ctx.send(embed=embed)

in the last line

[lyric moat]

thanks

[surreal creek]

your welcome
btw this is the second time I helped anyone over here :]

[maiden fable]

It will send twice cz it's trigerring the else clause

[waxen monolith]

The first @commands.command() works, but the second one throws an error, is there a reason for this? I'm not sure what's going on here

[young acorn]

For future reference, I found that there is a built in decorator for this kind of thing: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

[lament mesa]

can you send the error

[waxen monolith]

AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'command'

[lament mesa]

oh, do you have a command named commands?, rename it

[waxen monolith]

Ah, I have a 'commands' command

that's probably the issue

[surreal creek]

ohk

[lament mesa]

yeah rename it, because it is overriding discord.ext.commands

[surreal creek]

i did not go that proffetional coz i use this trick for my bot's status

[waxen monolith]

weird, the bot still isn't detecting commands

[young acorn]

I ran into problems with it only executing once. Not sure why

[waxen monolith]

oh I have client.command not client.add_command

[surreal creek]

send that part of ur code

[surreal creek]

ohk

[waxen monolith]

okay changing that doesn't work

[young acorn]

I'm using cogs, so @tasks.loop was perfect

[waxen monolith]

So, I'm using @commands.command(), does that not work with client.add_command()? At the start I do have client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?')

[surreal creek]

ohk

[waxen monolith]

When I did everything in client.on_message(message) it worked (but that's a pretty bad solution), but this isn't working, I haven't really used discord.ext before though

[surreal creek]

use client.command()
async def bla bla bla

[waxen monolith]

Do I keep the @young torrentmands.command()?

sorry for the ping whoever that was

[surreal creek]

?!?

[waxen monolith]

@young torrentmands.command()

[surreal creek]

tf

[waxen monolith]

oh sorry l'pain

no idea why it's changing to that

their username is com

[surreal creek]

ye

[waxen monolith]

@commands.command()

[surreal creek]

use @client.command()

[waxen monolith]

ah, I tried that

[surreal creek]

i dont think there is such a thing :/

[valid perch]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command

class discord.ext.commands.Command(*args, **kwargs)```
A class that implements the protocol for a bot text command.

These are not created manually, instead they are created via the decorator or functional interface.

[waxen monolith]

actually let me repaste that to censor something

https://pastebin.com/WnTJT0gu

@surreal creek

[boreal ravine]

Thats for commands in cogs lol

[waxen monolith]

What about the code in this?

[boreal ravine]

is there an error in the code?

[waxen monolith]

Weird, commenting out all the code except for that works, but all the code doesn't work

[boreal ravine]

make an error handler so you know whats the error lol

[waxen monolith]

apparently the issue was my on_message code

[surreal creek]

is ther on_message in ur code ?
i am finding that itself
coz normaly these things create probs

[wicked atlas]

This might be your issue
#discord-bots message

[surreal creek]

yea

[worthy wagon]

Is this correct?

[wicked atlas]

Does it work?

[slate swan]

Should work

[worthy wagon]

says bad request, unknown emoji, but the emoji does exist, I might have the emoji ID wrong, but I don't know how to return an emoji id

is the emote

I thought you just right click and press copy id

[slate swan]

no ,

[worthy wagon]

mb

[slate swan]

You need to use :emoji:

[worthy wagon]

?

[slate swan]

to get the elapsed name

\:emoji:

[worthy wagon]

oh

[wicked atlas]

Isn't that what they have though...

[slate swan]

you won't get the id by right clicking on it

It may be the message id most probably

[slate swan]

.

[wicked atlas]

You can get the ID by right clicking on it

[tulip oracle]

wanting to catch when someone posts a link, and the link does not embed
i used
if len(message.embeds) == 0:
but it wouldnt catch it,

[slate swan]

can you show an example for This emoji

[wicked atlas]

889705308530823188 !python

[worthy wagon]

It's working now.

[wicked atlas]

hmmm

[worthy wagon]

I appreciate the help guys!

[slate swan]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[wicked atlas]

strange, used to work for me

[worthy wagon]

\:emojiname:

[slate swan]

889705308530823188 is actually the message id
Blame discord for that :0

[ocean leaf]

is there any way to play audio files in discord without using ffmpeg? bcoz i am using replit :(

[wicked atlas]

So anyway, @worthy wagon if that isn't working for you, you may need to get the emoji object and pass that instead

[slate swan]

Lavalink , same issues with youtube tos exist tho

[ocean leaf]

not only youtube i am talking about all kind of music. suppose i have a music in my replit and i want to play it in a vc by my bot. how can i do that? and i believe that ffmpeg don't work with replit

[slate swan]

Ffmpeg works with replit

and you can use it if you want to play some locally stored files

[ocean leaf]

how

any vdeo?

any tutorial?

[wicked atlas]

I feel like saying that ffmpeg "works" is a bit weird, since replits filesystems are ephemeral

I don't even know how you would really install it

[slate swan]

haven't really done anything with he voice client yet:/

you can find couple of docs related to it

[wicked atlas]

Isn't that just the python bindings?

The github page dosen't seem to exist either
https://github.com/jiashaoku/ffmpeg

[slate swan]

yeah , and it configures it to work with ffmpeg

[heavy radish]

Heyy, I've got a question

I need help making a custom command and this is how I want it to work. I want to be able to store a users name in it. So the command would start of blank like !channel and the output would be None! Set one now!. Once I set it like !channelset @user I want that to be channel specific. So If i do !channel in another channel, it would say None! Set one now!. However, if I do it in one that has been set, it would give me user output like @user. Any idea on how to do so?

[wicked atlas]

Well, it looks like it needs ffmpeg installed

[heavy radish]

@slate swan ?? Can you help?

[wicked atlas]

Hmm, seems to work, weird that it does that

[upbeat vigil]

hey i made this, and it doesnt work

cna anyone tell me what i did wrong

[boreal ravine]

Whats the error?

[heavy radish]

Heyy, do you know how to read discord embeds?

[boreal ravine]

For the 10th time no

[amber pawn]

can you test for me this script?

i write myself

[boreal ravine]

sure

[amber pawn]

i dmed you

[dapper cobalt]

Define "doesnt work".

[hollow agate]

@client.command()
async def transcript(ctx):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    with open("file.txt", "w") as file:
        msg = await ctx.channel.history(oldest_first=True, limit=1).flatten()
        y = msg[0].mentions[0]
        file.write(f"{ctx.channel.name} | {y.name}" + "\n \n \n")
        async for message in ctx.history(limit=None):
            file.write(str(f"[{message.author}]: {message.content}" + "\n"))

    with open("file.txt", "rb") as file:
        await ctx.send("Your file is:", file=discord.File(file, "transcript.txt"))``` How can I make the order of the messages flip so the oldest message is on the top rather than on the bottom?

[pulsar stream]

oldest_first=True. same as the first one

on the second history

[hollow agate]

Ahhh, thank you!

[pulsar stream]

but wait

why do you even have the first history

[hollow agate]

Ah, that was a place holder for when I got back to it, I thought I needed to use .reverse

[vagrant brook]

!d discord.Message.embeds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.embeds

A list of embeds the message has.

[vagrant brook]

🙂

[hollow agate]

And for the {y.name}

[pulsar stream]

oh okay

[boreal ravine]

Code?

[upbeat vigil]

^

[pliant gulch]

You need to do datetime.datetime.now()

[boreal ravine]

try datetime.datetime.now()

[pliant gulch]

You imported it as import dateteime rather then from datetime import datetime

[upbeat vigil]

so like this?

[boreal ravine]

Yes datetime is the module and datetime and time are the sub modules

[upbeat vigil]

i see

[lofty heron]

hi, how can i check if 2 messages with the same thing have been sent? i have no idea how to do it lol

[dapper cobalt]

Then learn Python.

And to get the message's content, it's message.content.

!d discord.Message.content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

[lofty heron]

alright thanks

[upbeat vigil]

tysm huys

guys*

it worked

[ocean leaf]

any docs page they have?

[hollow agate]

        async for message in ctx.history(limit=None, oldest_first=True):

[drifting arrow]

Doesn't datetime.now grab your systems current datetime?

[hollow agate]

It doesn't because it says it's 4:00 am, but in reality it's 10:00 pm here, plus I can't use my local time xd

[drifting arrow]

Lemme quickly do some googling

[drifting arrow]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36067621/python-all-possible-timezone-abbreviations-for-given-timezone-name-and-vise-ve Maybe something like this will make sense?

On message event have only message parameter not ctx

message.channel.send

[lofty heron]

make the bot send something when a certain word in a txt file is sent

Do something like that

[lofty heron]

hmm ok i'll try

[valid galleon]

So im making a custom prefix command using mongodb, and when i use the setprefix command, it adds the info in the collection, but i also get this error, and the new prefix wont work:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'Bot' object is not callable  ```
My code:
```py
@client.command()
async def setprefix(ctx, prefix):
      db = cluster["discord"]
    collection = db["prefixes"]

    guild_id = ctx.guild.id
    server_prefix = prefix

    if(collection.count_documents({})) == 0:

        prefix_info = {'Guild_id': guild_id, 'Prefix': server_prefix}
        collection.insert_one(prefix_info)

    else:
        prefix_info = {'Guild_id': guild_id, 'Prefix': server_prefix}
        collection.update_one({'Guild_id': guild_id}, {'$set': {'Prefix': prefix}})

    await ctx.send(f"My prefix is now {prefix}")

    finding_prefix = collection.find_one({'Prefix': {'$eq': prefix}})

    view_finding_prefix = finding_prefix.values()
    iterate_view = iter(view_finding_prefix)
    first_value = next(iterate_view)

    client(command_prefix = str(first_value), case_insesitive = True)

?

and this is after the

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '!', intents = discord.Intents.all())
```line

[slate swan]

Error line?

[valid galleon]

no, i meant that its after this line

not before

[slate swan]

This is after your command?

[valid galleon]

before

[slate swan]

Show me full error

[valid galleon]

alright one sec

    ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "c:\Users\-----\Desktop\Python\Projects\discord bot\DiscordBot.py", line 46, in setprefix
    client(command_prefix = str(first_value), case_insesitive = True)
TypeError: 'Bot' object is not callable

@slate swan

would moving the code into a cog fix it?

[drifting arrow]

uhh

[slate swan]

No. Your way is wrong

[drifting arrow]

not really.

[valid galleon]

?

[drifting arrow]

If your code won't work outside of the cog it won't work inside of the cog

[slate swan]

You currently have a prefix set. You create a command in the wrong way that will change the original prefix. This cannot be done this way.

If you think more about it you will found why cant do that

Specifically you are trying to change the original prefix to something else for all the servers that are your bot, not for each one individually.

[valid galleon]

do you know any way to do it properly?

[slate swan]

Maybe this fix your error

client = commands.Bot(prefix=str(first_value), case_insesetive=True)

[valid galleon]

i'll try it

[slate swan]

https://youtu.be/fnsN1HZLyrk

I suggest check this tutorial

[lament mesa]

you cant call it

[valid galleon]

i was using this video before, but it uses postgre, and it was hard to follow

i'll try rewriting the entire thing once

[slate swan]

Build the structure

[maiden fable]

Do u know... YouTube videos aren't preferred for dpy

^^^

[maiden fable]

Who here can help me make a Paginator which will divide the string if the number of new lines exceeds the number I specify?

[fading harness]

i want to ask my bot to make the invite to my server like choi!mi 25 will make a invites with maximum 25 uses what do I write in the code

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_invite use the max_uses kwarg

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

You must have the [`create_instant_invite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.create_instant_invite "discord.Permissions.create_instant_invite") permission to do this.

[fading harness]

and how can the bot send it

[maiden fable]

just like u send a simple message bro

invite = await channel.create_invite()
await ctx.send(invite)

[fading harness]

it say undefined name create_invite

[maiden fable]

....?

[fading harness]

yes

[drifting arrow]

opinions? left or right for formatting?

[maiden fable]

code

[maiden fable]

I think the second one

also adding a color will be better

[lofty heron]

hi, when i run this why does nothing happen when i run t!help?

How do you add color to an embed?

[lofty heron]

colour = 0x hex code here without

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Embed.color

[unkempt canyon]

Certainly not.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[maiden fable]

Bro

!d discord.Embed.colour

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.colour

The colour code of the embed. Aliased to color as well. This can be set during initialisation.

[lofty heron]

kekw

[maiden fable]

:blobpain:

[lofty heron]

yeah

[drifting arrow]

wow it requires the u?!

[maiden fable]

No

[lofty heron]

no it doesn't

[drifting arrow]

k good

[maiden fable]

read the embed. it can be color also

[drifting arrow]

coz i was aboutta say. I'm australian but even i'm lazy and leave the 'u' out

[lofty heron]

sadge why no work

[maiden fable]

@unkempt canyon was just having a stroke

[lofty heron]

lmfao

[gusty whale]

anyone know of any D.py forks that support the new features?

[maiden fable]

disnake

[gusty whale]

hmm

[maiden fable]

🤷‍♂️ I use that and haven't got any problems till now

[gusty whale]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.1.1

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[gusty whale]

ok thanks!

[lofty heron]

help ples

[drifting arrow]

on_message blocks commands

Unless there's a way to make on_message stop doing its nonsense, dont use it

[lofty heron]

oh hmmso i put the command after othe event

[maiden fable]

await bot.process_commands(message) at the end of on_message

[lofty heron]

ok tenks

[drifting arrow]

wot.

[maiden fable]

or u can use bot.listen() instead of bot.event

Yea, it works

[velvet sinew]

anyone knows how to add custom emojis in embed discord.py?

Dm if u know

[lofty heron]

\:crossed_swords:

[maiden fable]

Yea

[lofty heron]

do something like that

\:kubernetes: 

[maiden fable]

the variable name for a constant

[drifting arrow]

Does color change the font color or background color?

[lofty heron]

side bar

[maiden fable]

only the side one

[lofty heron]

this

[maiden fable]

Yea

[drifting arrow]

Oh

[lofty heron]

lol it would be cool if i could change the background colour

[drifting arrow]

It would be cool

[keen talon]

thse are things you should try yourself, ask us bout errors

[keen talon]

[drifting arrow]

Na I dont want to spend 2hrs trying to change the font color or background color only to find out it doesnt do that

[maiden fable]

🤣

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

[maiden fable]

Hey @keen talon mind helping me with something if u r free?

[keen talon]

with what lol ? I have my entrance exams two weeks later

[maiden fable]

So I am trying to making a Paginator and the paginator should do something like...

There will be a dict, and the key value pairs of the dict will be divded in a group of 10 in case the length is more than 10... So, how can I split the dict key value pairs into groups of 10?

[dreamy sluice]

Is there any exception which checks whether bot is already in a vc upon a request for it to join?

sorry if my wording isn't clear 😅

[maiden fable]

ClientException

!d discord.ClientException

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ClientException

exception discord.ClientException```
Exception that’s raised when an operation in the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") fails.

These are usually for exceptions that happened due to user input.

[keen talon]

idk man sorry

[maiden fable]

[keen talon]

u know numpy ?

[maiden fable]

No

[keen talon]

u can do array.reshape with the keys

[drifting arrow]

Man. setting up all these bot.events is time consuming

[dreamy sluice]

So there's no specific exception?

[gusty whale]

How to add custom emojis

In embed

[drifting arrow]

Can someone tell me what a group channel is? is that what discord refers to as a thread?

[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.

[hot cobalt]

@slate swan You have a URL shortener in your code

The filters get triggered

[hot cobalt]

So you can use paste ^

[drifting arrow]

You get a notification whenever that happens? 🤔

issue?

you aren't use an f string

r=requests.get(" should be r=requests.get(f"

dw

I take forever to code coz I keep forgetting to do silly things like that

[velvet sinew]

Not working

How to add emojis in embed pls tell

I'm trying

But not working

Ok

embed.add_field(name= " <emoji_4 889758662640422922> FUN COMMANDS", value= " 8ball, slap, hentai, boobs, neko, pussy, anal, blowjob, lewdneko" )

i use linux,

msg = message.content
reply = message.reply
sendmsg = message.channel.send
if msg.startswith('sqd-t '):
   cmd = msg.split('sqd-terminal ', 1)[1]
   print('')
   print(msg)
   print('Command requested: ' + cmd)
   await reply('**Sending command to terminal...** `' + cmd + '`')
   cmd = str(cmd)
   await sendmsg('`Output:`\n\`\`\`' + str(os.system(cmd)) + '\`\`\`')

why does it do that?

[lofty heron]

oops

[spring flax]

the code would help

[velvet sinew]

Problem solved

[ionic wadi]

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionNotFound: Extension 'Moderation' could not be loaded.

What does this mean, something wrong In the main loading code or in the extension code?

[spring flax]

the cog does not exist.

[ionic wadi]

Maincode:

bot.load_extension("Moderation")

Cog:

https://hastebin.com/lumigosamu.py

Same error

Yes

[spring flax]

for cogs, it is @commands.command

[ionic wadi]

prefixes = "", "c!", "C!"
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=prefixes)

Basically this right?

https://hastebin.com/melacixafe.py

This Is what I have now, still the error.

[spring flax]

prefixes=["first", "second", "third"]

[ionic wadi]

But why, that what I use works always

Np

[boreal ravine]

use a list

[spring flax]

you should be focusing on that then lol

[ionic wadi]

Oh wait, I am stoepid.

It says theres something wrong in the main script

File "/home/container/bot.py", line 16, in <module>
bot.load_extension("Moderation")

Traceback (most recent call last):

I somehow recognize that 😂

[coral ermine]

how do i make the bot send a "this message is only visible to you" message

[ionic wadi]

Oh I fixed It, moderation instead of Moderation but Now i get some sketchy error

[ionic wadi]

Only discord can

[coral ermine]

noo i saw dank memer send me that sort of a message

[boreal ravine]

slash commands or buttons can do that

[coral ermine]

ohh

[slate swan]

how can i create a dashboard for my bot any resource

[ionic wadi]

Try HTML or css to create a basic website then I advise looking into some forms

[boreal ravine]

Like this you mean? @coral ermine

[ionic wadi]

File "/home/container/moderation.py", line 11, in Moderation
@commands.event

see my bot is deployed on heroku and if i use flask or quart

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener

classmethod listener(name=...)```
A decorator that marks a function as a listener.

This is the cog equivalent of [`Bot.listen()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen "discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen").

[slate swan]

how can i run that app

[boreal ravine]

@commands.Cog.listener() is for events in cogs ^

[slate swan]

@ionic wadi

[coral ermine]

yes yes this

[ionic wadi]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_ready():

TypeError: on_ready() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

[ionic wadi]

I have no idea with heroku sorry

[slate swan]

like i just need bot data

not user data

is there any way just to get bot data

?

[visual island]

add self parameter to it

[slate swan]

@visual island any idea ?

[visual island]

bot data?

bot.user?

[slate swan]

nah

see i want to create a dashboard

but there a problem my bot is deployed on heroku so how can i run

flask or quart

with it

        today = datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y%m%d")


    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def run_once_when_ready():
        with open('daily_poll.txt','r') as file:
            if today in daily_poll:
                print(today)
            else:
                print("Cant find it wot?")

Hey this is my code, The bot isnt printing anything nor is there any error

@slate swan insert today with in the function

before file handler

[cinder echo]

I want to change the binary data from DB to jpg and send it to the user. Is there a way to send an image without saving it?

[bitter depot]

Short answer: no
Long answer: you can store the cdn link, but that won't work once the image is gone from the cache (can't remember how long cache stays)

Really you need to store the image if you want to guarantee the image will always be sent

[slate swan]

Still no error, Doesnt print either

How to host discord bot?

Use money and free

[river walrus]

?tag vps In dpy's server

[spring flax]

if only he was in the server

@slate swan
If you need to run your bot 24/7 (with no downtime), you should consider using a virtual private server (VPS).
This is a list of VPS services that are sufficient for running Discord bots.

https://www.scaleway.com/
Based in Europe.
https://www.digitalocean.com/
US-based.
Considered by many to be the gold standard.
Locations available across the world.
https://www.ovh.co.uk/
France and Canadian locations available.
https://www.time4vps.eu/
Seemingly based in Lithuania.
https://www.linode.com/
Cheap VPS.
https://www.vultr.com/
US-based, DigitalOcean-like.
https://galaxygate.net/
A reliable, affordable, and trusted host.

There are no reliable free options for VPS hosting. If you would rather not pay for a hosting service, you can consider self-hosting. Any modern hardware should be sufficient for running a bot. An old computer with a few GB of ram could be suitable, or a Raspberry Pi (any model, except perhaps one of the particularly less powerful ones).

[slate swan]

    self.bot.loop.create_task(run_once_when_ready())
NameError: name 'self' is not defined

Wondering why I am getting this error?

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

I have defined it in my init also

[drifting arrow]

@slate swan i assume "create_task" is a function correct? if so, you need self before run_once_when_ready()

it's what i'd try anyway

Give it a shot and if it doesn't work then I'm all outta ideas

[slate swan]

    async def run_once_when_ready():
        await bot.wait_until_ready()
        today = datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y%m%d")
        with open('daily_poll.txt','r') as file:
            if today in daily_poll:
                print(today)
            else:
                print("Cant find it wot?")
    self.bot.loop.create_task(run_once_when_ready())

Thats the code so you mean async def self.run_once_when_ready():?

[drifting arrow]

Oh

Oh

there's your issue.

async def run_once_when_ready():
needs to be
async def run_once_when_ready(self):

[slate swan]

Wym?

[drifting arrow]

soz I pressed enter

[grand anvil]

make it self.run_once_when_ready()

[grand anvil]

and that

[drifting arrow]

IDK THERE NEEDS TO BE A SELF SOMEWHERE AAHH

[slate swan]

Oh okay thanks both of you! Lemme try that

[drifting arrow]

My process is normally to add self everywhere until it works. i'm going back to being a derp.

[lofty heron]

hi i'm not sure why the below code has an output of the image. can somebody help?

@bot.command()
async def idlist(ctx):
  lol = open('previousids.txt', 'r')
  embed=discord.Embed(
    title='id only log',
    description=(lol),
    colour=ctx.message.author.colour
  )
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)
  kekw = open('reasons.txt', 'r')
  embed=discord.Embed(
    title='id and reason log',
    description=(kekw),
    colour=ctx.message.author.colour
  )
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[drifting arrow]

@lofty heron i think it's coz you need to parse your lol into a string.

I say think coz like with @slate swan i'm taking a stab and guessing here. and that's where i'd start.

[grand anvil]

no.

[drifting arrow]

no?

Damn. well that's me outta ideas.

[grand anvil]

that'll just print a "lol" in his embed

[drifting arrow]

No what I meant was.
lol doesnt have string items in it. he needs to parse the contents of it into a string.

[grand anvil]

oh

[drifting arrow]

Sorta like reading a json file. Sure you can open it up and pray to god it works right then. or you can process it into the parts you need/want and in a way you can read it

[lofty heron]

tenks

[drifting arrow]

Although a json file isnt the best example since it's basically a list/dict

[grand anvil]

your lol is not text. you need to readline(or lines) from it with functions like lol.readline()

[lofty heron]

hmm

um do i just leave the bracket after readline blank?

for all lines

[grand anvil]

what? I don't quite understand what you mean

[drifting arrow]

try

    description=(lol.read),

[lofty heron]

ok i'll try

[grand anvil]

oh wait lol.readline() this?

[lofty heron]

yeah that

[grand anvil]

yea leave it blank if you wanna read a single line

[drifting arrow]

wait i forgot the ()

description=(lol.read())

[grand anvil]

if you want to read all lines, use lol.readlines() but it will give you a list of lines

[drifting arrow]

🤞 lets hope w3schools do us a solid for a change and has correct code

[lofty heron]

kekw

[drifting arrow]

otherwise im off to stackoverflow

[grand anvil]

if you wanna print a list of lines, just use "\n".join(whatever you named the list)

@lofty heron are you trying to read a single line or multiple lines?

[lofty heron]

lol

[lofty heron]

multiple

[drifting arrow]

Are you storing and updating everything in a .txt file? why not use a database? or json file?

[heavy folio]

hi tram

[lofty heron]

idk how to use anything else

[heavy folio]

wait how did u send 2 embeds in one message

[lofty heron]

oh hey

[drifting arrow]

I commend you for making your database txt files. Perfectness. But if we're being smart, use json or database

[grand anvil]

do this:

@bot.command()
async def idlist(ctx):
  lol = open('previousids.txt', 'r')
  lines = lol.readlines()
  lines = "\n".join(lines)
  embed=discord.Embed(
    title='id only log',
    description=lines,
    colour=ctx.message.author.colour
  )
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)
  kekw = open('reasons.txt', 'r')
  lines = kekw.readlines()
  lines = "\n".join(lines)
  embed=discord.Embed(
    title='id and reason log',
    description=lines,
    colour=ctx.message.author.colour
  )
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[lofty heron]

2 messages

[heavy folio]

ohh

[drifting arrow]

2 seperate messages

[heavy folio]

oh

[lofty heron]

hmm ok i'll try

ty :D it works stonks

[grand anvil]

👍

glad I could be help :)

[drifting arrow]

Since there's some smart people here. Can someone help me?

    @commands.Cog.listener()

            embed.add_field(name=title, value=f'```{msg}```', inline=False)
            await channel.send(embed=embed)
```This isn't reading whenever someone updates their status or activity. It works for display name.
**Yes intents and presence are set properly.** Unless there's a random one that's not members and I have to specifically define..

[grand anvil]

I haven't worked with this listener before so I can't help out here. Maybe wait for someone else or google it

my guess would be intents but you say intents are set properly

[drifting arrow]

@grand anvil listener is the same as bot.event i assume.

I'll try and move the bot out of the cog and use bot.event instead

[grand anvil]

that shouldn't make a difference as long as you used it in right place which I assume you did

[drifting arrow]

Didnt make a difference

[slate swan]

Okay so I did this but the code doesnt work, No error nor does it print

[grand anvil]

oh.. uh... lemme think

[grand anvil]

check what are the attributes of before and after in this listener and make sure you're using right names?

[slate swan]

    async def run_once_when_ready(self):
        await bot.wait_until_ready()
        today = datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y%m%d")
        with open('daily_poll.txt','r') as file:
            if today in daily_poll:
                print(today)
            else:
                print("Cant find it wot?")
        await self.bot.loop.create_task(self.run_once_when_ready())

Final code in case you want to see!

[grand anvil]

there is an extra indentation in last (not sure if I spelt it right but yea)

[slate swan]

If I unindent that it says

        await self.bot.loop.create_task(self.run_once_when_ready())
        ^
SyntaxError: 'await' outside function

[grand anvil]

well I mean you can't call it outside a function. I'd call it in the when_ready listener

[karmic nymph]

im trying to find a way to see if a user has a certain permission in discord.py

but the only thing I can find is @slate swan_permissions which doesn't work for me as it's not for a command

I just want an if statement to see if they have a permission

[velvet sinew]

so target_type=discord.InviteTarget.embedded_application?

[maiden fable]

InviteTarget?

[grand anvil]

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_ready(self):
        today = datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y%m%d")
        with open('daily_poll.txt','r') as file:
            if today in daily_poll:
                print(today)
            else:
                print("Cant find it wot?")
        ```

if this also doesn't work, idk.

NOTE: It won't work with self bots

[stone palm]

what is it supposed to be?

[slate swan]

I dont want on_ready since it will fire multiple times I wanted run_once_when_ready

[maiden fable]

NOTE: Self bots are against ToS

[grand anvil]

hmm.... then I know what you gotta do

[slate swan]

Okay so I updated my code to this to try something

    async def run_once_when_ready(self):
        await bot.wait_until_ready()
        today = datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y%m%d")
        with open('daily_poll.txt','r') as file:
            if today in daily_poll:
                print(today)
            else:
                print("Cant find it wot?")
    self.asyncio.run((self.run_once_when_ready())

But since this is in a cog I am getting this error

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(dailypoll(bot))

Error

    def setup(bot):
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[grand anvil]

ik but doesn't stop people from doing it

[grand anvil]

bro just put the await self.run_once_when_ready() in __init__ function

and make sure the def setup isn't inside the Cog class

[slate swan]

Oh okay

[maiden fable]

self.asyncio.....?

[grand anvil]

fuck I copied his code

[maiden fable]

Also won't work

[grand anvil]

@slate swan do this updated one

first one made no sense I just blindly copied yours cause I'm in class

[maiden fable]

U can't run an async function in the init

[slate swan]

self.run?

[grand anvil]

oh right.... bruh

[maiden fable]

Haha!

[grand anvil]

bro this is kinda annoying ngl

[maiden fable]

Lol

[grand anvil]

@slate swan BTW async def on_ready(self): fires only once in my bot

[maiden fable]

It fires many times for me sometimes

[grand anvil]

unless you made a super complex bot which can turn on and off without code stopping, you'll be good with listener

[maiden fable]

When my bot sends way too many AI Messages haha

[grand anvil]

oh

[slate swan]

Its risky since I will be pinging a role and I dont want it to spam more often than it should

[grand anvil]

oh

[maiden fable]

Yea

Don't do it

Instead

Why not make a task and set the count to 1?

And start it at the place where u load your cogs

task.start()

[grand anvil]

[maiden fable]

Simple

[grand anvil]

that's big brain

[maiden fable]

[grand anvil]

I don't have a lot of experience with asyncio

[maiden fable]

Same

[grand anvil]

I used tasks only once in my whole bot and used a lot of google for it

[maiden fable]

Idk shit about it

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

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

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

[slate swan]

Thats what I am at

[grand anvil]

imagine saying you don't know shit about it and then doing that

[maiden fable]

There (:

[maiden fable]

Bruh, that's part of the library...

@tasks.loop(count=1) 
async def once():
    print("Working only once") 

once.start() 

Ezz

[grand anvil]

oh wait nvm it was discord library

I thought its asyncio library 💀

[maiden fable]

[grand anvil]

discord.py tasks are good. Asyncio tasks are hard

[maiden fable]

Indeed

[slate swan]

So this task will happen each time the bot reboots once?

[maiden fable]

Indeed

U can do that anywhere, as the task.start() isn't async

[slate swan]

Okay time to try that!

[maiden fable]

(:

[hasty loom]

whats the equiv of bot.get_channel or bot.get_guild but for member?

[drifting arrow]

member.guild

[grand anvil]

bot.fetch_member

[hasty loom]

ah

[drifting arrow]

oh

i was close tho

And that's all that matters.

[grand anvil]

if you want user, do bot.fetch_user

[drifting arrow]

What's the difference between member and user?

[hasty loom]

member is with guild context

[grand anvil]

member is like server member so like you get member's roles and nickname and stuff

and it will return error if the user is not in server

whereas user will give the general info like id and stuff and will work for any user on discord

[drifting arrow]

So anybody in the server (say this python server) is read as a member.

[slate swan]

    @tasks.loop(count=1)
    async def once():
        today = datetime.utcnow().strftime("%Y%m%d")
        with open('daily_poll.txt', 'r') as file:
            if today in daily_poll:
                print(today)
            else:
                print("Cant find it wot?")

No error but it doesnt print

[drifting arrow]

and once I leave this discord, I'll be regarded as a user (Unless the bot is in a discord I'm in)

[grand anvil]

yes if you used fetch_member

they'll still be treated as a normal user if you used fetch_user

[drifting arrow]

wait. where is daily_poll variable?

[slate swan]

this_file_directory = Path(__file__).parent.resolve()
other_file = this_file_directory / "daily_poll.txt"
with open(other_file, "r+") as file:
    daily_poll = [daily_poll.strip().lower() for daily_poll in file.readlines()]

Before the class

[drifting arrow]

Okay

[grand anvil]

why open daily_poll.txt if u don't use it
