[odd pendant]

yes? the library i said is for ipc

[hoary gust]

yes good but the thing is like discord-ext-ipc is good buy it cannot be used for the thing i am trying to do thats why i was asking for ipc and i dont really get what multiprocess.communication is

is it a lib or a module of mutipocess

did you enter the token?

[slate swan]

of course

[boreal osprey]

HELP

[ripe jackal]

you need to put your bot token, where it says TOKEN

[boreal osprey]

i'm tryna use a env file

[ripe jackal]

remove the ``

[boreal osprey]

i now get this

[rigid island]

heyyy

i need help

[ripe jackal]

do you have TOKEN="your discord bot token"

[boreal osprey]

yes

in the token env file

[outer ridge]

it is not able to read the environment variable then.

so it gives you None

[rigid island]

from azlyrics.azlyrics import lyrics

song = input('song:')
artist = input('artist:')
ly = lyrics(artist,song)
for line in ly:
    print(line)

i get the input here but then i do that in replit then it show error ```

ye how do i fix?

[outer ridge]

Go to the environment variables

and check if you have your token there

[boreal osprey]

yes it's in there

[rigid island]

it work fine here

[outer ridge]

can you print it please?

[ripe jackal]

try this:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ";")

@client.command()

[outer ridge]

without the token

[boreal osprey]

DISCORD_TOKEN="token"

[outer ridge]

no that's not how you save an environment path

[rigid island]

HELP :((

[slate swan]

still not working.

[outer ridge]

On repl.it? what's the error

[hasty iron]

reinstall dpy

[slate swan]

alright,

[rigid island]

it work fine

[rigid island]

this show the errror

[slate swan]

whats the cmd for it btw?

[rigid island]

terminal work fine but repil show the error @outer ridge

[hasty iron]

pip install discord.py

[slate swan]

for uninstall

[hasty iron]

guess

[slate swan]

pip uninstall discord.py 😭

[outer ridge]

what error??

[slate swan]

i mean it dont work should i run it in vsc or command prompt?

[outer ridge]

No

[boreal osprey]

how do i save it then

[rigid island]

error that it not exist

[hasty iron]

do py -m pip uninstall discord.py

[slate swan]

reinstalled it.

[outer ridge]

well that's not a really known library

so i doubt anyone has a solution for it

[slate swan]

works, tysm 👐

[outer ridge]

just don't use REPL xD as it's a Linux / Unix environment

[hasty iron]

whats wrong with unix environments

[outer ridge]

search "env variables" on Start

and then this will pop up

[boreal osprey]

i'm using ubuntu though

[hasty iron]

@outer ridge

[outer ridge]

ah damn

[rigid island]

that kinda sad
i can use different library suggest be a library for lyrics bot

[outer ridge]

Just use pyopen('token.env').read() then

[hasty iron]

no that’s bad

you need to close the file

[rigid island]

mostly people use genius py but i cant understand it tbh

[hasty iron]

or a way to do it

[outer ridge]

use a "with" enclosure then

with open('token.env') as token_file:
    token = token_file.read()

[hasty iron]

you still haven’t answered my question on what’s wrong with unix environments

[outer ridge]

Well, the library probably doesn't work correctly on that platform that REPL uses

I assume so since it works on your computer

also check that REPL is installing the same version of that library

[hasty iron]

hm so we just guess that it’s the lib’s fault

[hasty iron]

also pls use the commands extension for commands

[gleaming torrent]

How do I prevent messages being duplicated?

[outer ridge]

Also, you can use @client.command() instead of handling it with the on_message event. By using client.command you can just name the function with the command function and it will get triggered when the command is used.

[outer ridge]

Hm?

[gleaming torrent]

like eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[hasty iron]

client.command wont work in their case right now

[gleaming torrent]

so people cant spam like that

[hasty iron]

theyre using Client not Bot

[outer ridge]

Hmm

I'd probably check the consecutive letters

[gleaming torrent]

I dont know how tho xd

[hasty iron]

use a collections.Counter

[gleaming torrent]

is there any api I need to check

[hasty iron]

actually no

that might not work in your case

[gleaming torrent]

ok ok

so collection counter?

[hasty iron]

well there is no definite way to classify spam

you’ll just have to guess based on character count and occurrence

[gleaming torrent]

Wait

[hasty iron]

since somebody can write a whole paragraph

[gleaming torrent]

I have an idea

[hasty iron]

and it can detect it as spam

[gleaming torrent]

so on the message event channel

I can make an variable that says
spam = ["eeeeeeeeeee"]

and more

[hasty iron]

that’s too inefficient

[gleaming torrent]

and check if the message contants it

Well thats what Im trying to prevent

[hasty iron]

you won’t have a list of tens of hardcoded items

[gleaming torrent]

well cmon, its just the alpabet

[hasty iron]

but you could

[gleaming torrent]

alphabet*

I could probably try and check if message.content is times 2

which also should work

idk

[hasty iron]

you can have per-server character limits

[gleaming torrent]

i have a "character" limit

for messages

I'll be back if it doesn't work

[outer ridge]

@gleaming torrent

def is_spam(string):
    consecutive = 0
    last_char = ''
    for char in string:
        if char == last_char:
            consecutive += 1
        if consecutive >= 6:
            return True
        last_char = char
    return False

[gleaming torrent]

dude thank you

lol

[outer ridge]

I just wrote this, should work

[hasty iron]

again that’s not efficient

[outer ridge]

it's the only way xD

[hasty iron]

i can have multiple characters in the same sentence

[outer ridge]

and it is efficient

[gleaming torrent]

Well it's functioninh

[hasty iron]

like this

[outer ridge]

no, you didn't understand what my code is doing

[hasty iron]

it has 6 e

[odd pendant]

it's if their next to each other can't you see that

[hasty iron]

what

[odd pendant]

he re re re re re re is fine, heeeeeeeee would be spam

[hasty iron]

no

thats not how iterating through a string works

[outer ridge]

lol

[hasty iron]

it gives you all the characters

[outer ridge]

You didn't even read my code.

[hasty iron]

i did

oh wait

nvm me stupid

[outer ridge]

def is_spam(string, tollerance=3):
    consecutive = 0
    last_letter = ''
    for letter in string:
        if letter == last_letter:
            consecutive += 1
        if consecutive >= tollerance:
            return True
        last_letter = letter
    return False
``` A better version here

[slate swan]

how do i add a mobile status using discord.py?

[hasty iron]

you dont

you’ll have to monkeypatch stuff and end up breaking other stuff

[dapper cobalt]

e_count = 0
for "e" in message.content:
  e_list += 1

spam = False

if e_count >= 10:
  spam = True

I think this should work.

If you're counting how many e's are in the message.

[outer ridge]

This is not a great idea.

[slate swan]

so it is not possible to add mobile status to it?

[hasty iron]

it is

but you shouldn’t do it

[dapper cobalt]

It's done using routes as Discord wouldn't open this feature in its API.

[odd pendant]

thats not what is needed. he wants to count consecutive characters not total

[slate swan]

oh, why not?

[dapper cobalt]

Ah. Then one second.

[outer ridge]

You should keep track of how many equal consecutive characters there are

[hasty iron]

as i said, it requires monkeypatching

[slate swan]

ahh okay

[hasty iron]

iirc its a bug when you send the identify payload

[dapper cobalt]

Yeah.

!d collections.Counter

[unkempt canyon]

collections.Counter

class collections.Counter([iterable-or-mapping])```
A [`Counter`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/collections.html#collections.Counter "collections.Counter") is a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/stdtypes.html#dict "dict") subclass for counting hashable objects. It is a collection where elements are stored as dictionary keys and their counts are stored as dictionary values. Counts are allowed to be any integer value including zero or negative counts. The [`Counter`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/collections.html#collections.Counter "collections.Counter") class is similar to bags or multisets in other languages.

Elements are counted from an *iterable* or initialized from another *mapping* (or counter):

```py
>>> c = Counter()                           # a new, empty counter
>>> c = Counter('gallahad')                 # a new counter from an iterable
>>> c = Counter({'red': 4, 'blue': 2})      # a new counter from a mapping
>>> c = Counter(cats=4, dogs=8)             # a new counter from keyword args

[dapper cobalt]

!e

import collections
text = "Hello world"
frequencies = collections.Counter(text)
repeated = {}
for key, value in frequencies.items():
  if value > 1:
    repeated[key] = value

print(repeated)

[unkempt canyon]

@dapper cobalt :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

{'l': 3, 'o': 2}

[hasty iron]

you can pass in the string directly

a string is an iterable

[dapper cobalt]

Yeah, I know.

I was copying an example.

https://www.kite.com/python/answers/how-to-count-the-number-of-repeated-characters-in-a-string-in-python

[hasty iron]

oh kite

[dapper cobalt]

@outer ridge

[hasty iron]

i did suggest that idea at first

but it wouldn’t be best for detecting spam

[dapper cobalt]

Does he want to detect how many times a character is repeated next to itself?

So like "eeeeeeee" = spam
"hey ey eyo" != spam

[hasty iron]

this is the original issue

[dapper cobalt]

One moment.

[fallow mauve]

ok

big question

whats a decorator? i feel like this is an important term that i need to know

but nobody's explain that to me yet

[dapper cobalt]

import collections
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  messages = []
  async for message in ctx.channel.history(limit=3)
    messages.append(message.content)

  frequencies = collections.Counter(messages)
  for key, value in frequencies.items():
    if value >= 3:
      spam = True

I believe this works. This checks if the last 3 messages sent are the same.

[pliant gulch]

Imo a good way to detect duplicated messages is via difflib.get_close_matches, the cutoff can be set to what you want and harder to bypass if you only add a few extra characters

Just check if that returns None else count it as spam

[dapper cobalt]

@this_is_a_decorator

[fallow mauve]

?

[slate swan]

async def on_ready():
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Streaming(name="coolin with slums", url="https://twitch.tv/fraudpays"))
    print("daddy is online.")``` should i keep my status cmd in `@client.event`?

or is it not appropiate to

[fallow mauve]

like @bot.event would be a decorator?

[dapper cobalt]

Yes.

[fallow mauve]

k

[slate swan]

.

[dapper cobalt]

I think this could help more. https://www.datacamp.com/community/tutorials/decorators-python

@fallow mauve

[fallow mauve]

ok

[dapper cobalt]

You can, but not very recommended. Instead, you could use wait_until_ready.

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

[slate swan]

yu

[slate swan]

ty*

[slate swan]

where will i have to add this in the code?

[pliant gulch]

What

Why would you put that there just pass activity when constructing the bot

What would wait_until_ready even do here to help??

[slate swan]

wait until the bot is ready? ig idk xd

i see the point of it but idk

[pliant gulch]

How would that help

on_ready is litteraly fired when the cache is ready

WHICH is the exact same thing wait_until_ready does

[slate swan]

i have no idea

[pliant gulch]

infact wait_until_ready waits for on_ready in a sense

Anyhow this wouldn't fix the problem of it firing multiple times

which is why you pass the activity kwarg when constructing the bot

[slate swan]

how will i fix the problem of it firing multiple times

[pliant gulch]

by removing it from on_ready and passing activity kwarg to the bots constructor

[slate swan]

alright ty

[plain birch]

hello

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):

``` gives me an error: member was not found

[broken dirge]

Ill just give you mine

@ client.command(pass_context=True) @ commands.has_permissions(administrator=True) async def ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None): await ctx.send(f'Nuked { member.mention}')

Should work just fine

[fallow mauve]

whats wrong with this? my alt acc does not have kick members perm yet can use the command

[plain birch]

nice edit lol

[slate swan]

first ctx.send

[dapper cobalt]

I never seen anything like this....

I'm sure @hasty iron got an answer. 🙂

[fallow mauve]

ok

i probably made a stupid mistake

[dapper cobalt]

Sorry blanket, not sorry blanket.

[broken dirge]

like this @fallow mauve

[paper bane]

has_guild_permissions is a decorator for commands

[broken dirge]

just use what you need

[slate swan]

@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)

[hasty iron]

command decorators dont work on events

[broken dirge]

or just @ commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)

[hasty iron]

you’ll have to check if on your own inside the function

[hasty iron]

its fine

[dapper cobalt]

😄

[dapper cobalt]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[dapper cobalt]

Also why administrator permissions to ban?

[fallow mauve]

im not getting this at all

idk how to fix this stupid command

[hasty iron]

that’s not even a command

its an event

[fallow mauve]

ok

what is a "command" then?

i obviously dont know

[hasty iron]

anything decorated by Bot.command or commands.command

[plain birch]

that doesnt ban the person...

[fallow mauve]

ok

how do i add a specific role to a channel? i have default user and role, but idk how to set a specific one. ```py
await ticket_channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, send_messages=False, read_messages=False)
await ticket_channel.set_permissions(ctx.author, send_messages=True, read_messages=True, read_message_history=True, embed_links=True, attach_files=True, add_reactions=True)

[plain birch]

how to make music command?

[slate swan]

lol

[dapper cobalt]

Get the role and do as you did with ctx.author. Also, you could just set the overwrites like this:

overrides = {
  ctx.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(send_messages=False, read_messages=False)
  ctx.author: discord.PermissionOverwrite(send_messages=True, read_messages=True)
}

ticket_channel = await ctx.guild.create_text_channel(name="name", overwrites=overrides)

[lyric moat]

um

[lyric moat]

how i do it exactly?

[slate swan]

No module named 'discord_buttons_plugin' someone know why?

from discord_buttons_plugin import *

[dapper cobalt]

await commands.ColorConverter.convert(ctx, "#fffff")

[dapper cobalt]

Have you installed the module?

[slate swan]

In what sense?

[dapper cobalt]

Huh?

[slate swan]

?

[pliant gulch]

This won't work just like all other converters you need to create an instance first then use the convert method

[lyric moat]

Could you but it in like these formats please?

await ctx.send('Waiting for a description')
    desc = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)```

[dapper cobalt]

Right. My bad.

[dapper cobalt]

converter = commands.ColorConverter()
converter.convert(ctx, string)

[lyric moat]

@dapper cobalt

[crystal wind]

Is it possible to add an additional dialogue after a second message of the user when the first message sent has been triggered?
For instance :
I say the keyword "hello"
If it's "hello" it will respond with "what do you need"
However, if I say "I need popsicle", the bot will respond with something too
if not, it will return
If "hello" is not here it will return as well

Basically a dialogue. More or less.

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[crystal wind]

thank you

[kindred epoch]

can i put days in tasks.loop?

[jade bay]

A random question, would it be smart to store your bot's data into a json file, and have the bot upload it into some discord channel?
Basically using a channel to store data instead of a database or anything else. Even though a database would be way better for storing data, but a json file for storing the bots config, such as prefix and whatever else, should be good enough, right?

[kindred epoch]

nvm you cant

[final iron]

You could probably use exponents

[kindred epoch]

yea nvm im just gonna use hours

[final iron]

Alr

[kindred epoch]

also, can someone explain me what the reconnect parameter does in tasks.loop?

if the bot disconnects will it start from the time it left or will it start a whole new loop?

[pliant gulch]

It continues running the loop after one iteration has errored, if reconnect isn't set to true it just raises the error

[kindred epoch]

oh, so if an error has occurred it does not stop, it keeps going?

[pliant gulch]

Yep if reconnect is set to true it basically suppresses the error and continues running

[kindred epoch]

ah ok thanks

this is not a command

the decorator goes ontop of the command

wait a minute ,its a event

wait

oh sorry give me a sec

[patent lark]

it’s not a command; like i said

also is on_command even a decorator in discord.ext.commands?

[distant pagoda]

i just get this ```line 43, in <module>
@client.command
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'command'

[patent lark]

you aren’t using discord.ext.commands.Bot

you’re using discord.Client()

[distant pagoda]

ohhh

[patent lark]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, **options)```
Represents a discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

[slate swan]

hey, im trying to do change prefix between servers but i got an error everytime. someone knows?

u talk to me?

[distant pagoda]

no

sorry hold on

[slate swan]

its ok

[distant pagoda]

so do i just slap it under ```client = discord.Client()

[hallow palm]

You should try and use the bot extention over attempting to use the client directly. Heres a full example of it you can take a look at: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py

[patent lark]

remove that

[distant pagoda]

im gonna do this on a different bot

[slate swan]

how do i start a for loop inside a if statement

[slate swan]

someone?

[distant pagoda]

ping the snow dude for help or the sofi yes spooky person they seem to know

[kindred epoch]

@pliant gulch sorry for ping, but what do you think this does?

from discord.ext import tasks
from datetime import datetime
import asyncio

@tasks.loop(seconds=30)
async def test():
    channel = bot.get_channel(856373686809788430)
    await channel.send("test")

startdate = datetime(2021,9,27,22,28,00)

await discord.utils.sleep_until(startdate,test.start())

[pliant gulch]

Starts the task at that time

Then afterwards it runs in 30 second intervals

[kindred epoch]

ye but it still sends the hi before it

idk why

[pliant gulch]

Is the time you set past the current time?

[kindred epoch]

no, that time was when i tested it

it was 22:27

and i set it as 22:28

[pliant gulch]

Probably some weird time zone stuff then

[kindred epoch]

ooooo

[pliant gulch]

As it always run if the set time is past current time

[kindred epoch]

lemme try adding utc timezone

!d datetime

[rustic onyx]

So

I've 2 bots, copied the command from one bot, pasted the code in the other-

The command in the first bot is working, not in the new one. What the fuck? The command only works when its used with the bot

Its a userinfo command, it displays userinfo lmao

So when I do !userinfo <bot_id> it works, when I use the command with another user it doesnt

[kindred epoch]

off still does it

set tzinfo as timezone.utc

[pliant gulch]

Not sure then all I know is that it doesn't sleep if the time set is already passed

[kindred epoch]

hm ok thanks

[crystal wind]

Concerning about wait_for(event, *, check=None, timeout=None)
I was wondering if there's a way to break this waiting if someone sends a message that doesn't include the keyword required.

Like an If/Else

[rustic onyx]

any idea why this could be happening? i can share my code

so weird, and in this other bot it works with every user

[proven elm]

Anyone know how to add a small image like this at the bottom of an embedded message?

[rustic onyx]

yeah

[paper bane]

!d discord.Embed.set_footer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_footer

set_footer(*, text=Embed.Empty, icon_url=Embed.Empty)```
Sets the footer for the embed content.

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

[rustic onyx]

icon_url

[paper bane]

icon_url kwarg

[stark hearth]

^^^

[proven elm]

why does it say set_footer isnt defined

[paper bane]

code

[proven elm]

@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
    embedVar = discord.Embed(description='''**Commands Help!**\n\n**➤Prefix(.)**\n**➤
    All the commands within this bot include**\n\n➤.help\n➤.Ping\n➤.locklist\n
    ➤.staffapp\n➤.clear\n➤.8ball\n➤.addrole\n➤.kick\n➤.ban ''', color=0x2AD7B6)
    msg1 = await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)
    set_footer(text=current_time, icon_url='UDMLogo.png')

[near glade]

your pfp

[proven elm]

ill move ctx.send embed to after I set footer

[paper bane]

set_footer isn't defined by itself, its a method of Embed objects

[proven elm]

hmm

[paper bane]

you need to call it on embedVar

[paper bane]

yes my cat

[final iron]

embedVar.set_footer

[proven elm]

How can I do this

ahh okay thank you

[final iron]

Also

[crystal wind]

Nevermind on that, you just need to make sure there's no check. As long as it's not broken it's good.

[final iron]

I don't think the image would work

Yeah it wouldn't work

[paper bane]

It wouldn't no

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[pliant gulch]

Brandon what's with the camelCase

😩

[paper bane]

its his var name 😖

[final iron]

@proven elm send the image through discord in a random server. Click on open original then copy the url. Then paste the URL into the footer

[pliant gulch]

Oh didn't see that, thought you were a camelCaser for a second

[final iron]

camelCase with python

😩

I think it's proper practice with js or smth

[kindred epoch]

i got it, i used before_loop and it worked

[jovial cypress]

hi i need help i'm trying to make a discord bot and this syntax keeps popping up and i dont know why

[proven elm]

@client.command()

    embedVar.set_image(url="attachment://image.png") 
    await ctx.send(file=f, embed=embedVar) 

Why is it not sending the image in the embed

oh

any idea why it wont send the image inside the embed?

[stark hearth]

print has to be in one line

[jovial cypress]

thank you

[stark hearth]

np

[jovial cypress]

ok but wdym

im a noob

help

[stark hearth]

hmm

[proven elm]

@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
    embedVar = discord.Embed(description='''**Commands Help!**\n\n**➤Prefix(.)**\n**

    embedVar.setfooter('UDM Staff Bot •', current_time)
    embedVar.set_image(url='UDMLogo.png')
    await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)

Why is it not sending it to discord

I presume I need to use something other then ctx.send but idk what

[jovial cypress]

pls what do i do

[proven elm]

do this

print('''we have logged in as {0.user}
'''.format (client))

or what

[stark hearth]

got to line 9 and move it up to the 8th

[proven elm]

just put it on one line or use ''' three of these symbols to multi line it

[proven elm]

?

[stark hearth]

i think its the set_image

[proven elm]

thats what I used?

@stark hearth

oh

[jovial cypress]

thank you but there is a syntax there now

[proven elm]

do if message.author == client.user:

double equal sign

[stark hearth]

in the set_image it has to be path/to/image/image.png

[proven elm]

ohhh ok

[flat solstice]

How do I get the embed info like the title or description from a message, is it py for embed in message.embeds: embed = discord.Embed(color = embed[0].colour, description = embed[0].description)

[dusk pumice]

I know it

[proven elm]

@stark hearth

[jovial cypress]

now there's anoteher syntax

[proven elm]

how do I fix it?

[dusk pumice]

wait a min...

I will send a code

paste it on yours!

[proven elm]

alright thank you

[proven elm]

whats the error

[jovial cypress]

idk

[stark hearth]

oh it has to be like attachment://image.png

[stark hearth]

@proven elm

[proven elm]

like this?
embedVar.set_image(url='attachment://UDMLogo.png')

[quiet coral]

hey how can I make a command usable in a specific channel ???

[stark hearth]

yeah

[proven elm]

still not working

[stark hearth]

hmm

error?

[proven elm]

use an if statement to check if the command they are running is being used in the correct channel or not

[proven elm]

none, nothing happens

doesnt send anything when I do .help

[slate swan]

hello guys, i am a new . can anyone help me. the question is ( how i need learn python for cyber security and pentesting? any books? web ?

[dusk pumice]

bot.remove_command("help")

cahnge it to clint

[dusk pumice]

Hello

[quiet coral]

@client.command()
async def rank(ctx,crypto):
    await ctx.send(get_crypto_rank(crypto))

this is the command can you show me how to it please?

[left dove]

hi

[jovial cypress]

i think i did something rightish now there is yet another syntax

[slate swan]

@dusk pumice hello

[proven elm]

clint?

[dusk pumice]

yes

opps wrong typing

[jovial cypress]

lol

[left dove]

client.run should come out of the asyn code

[dusk pumice]

client.remove_command("help")

c or C

try it!

[left dove]

mate can u copy paste the code here

its full of mistakes

[proven elm]

already done it

[dusk pumice]

ok~~

[jovial cypress]

done

[proven elm]

I think you should learn the python basics first ngl you didn't know how to print two lines or how to use ==

[stark hearth]

try this import the image to discord and copy the link to url @proven elm

or any image link service

[proven elm]

ight

[left dove]

[stark hearth]

https://imgbb.com/ this site is popular for making image urls

[left dove]

this might work

and also u defined the client.event decorator inside another client.event decorator thats not right @jovial cypress

[stark hearth]

@proven elm sorry for delay because im doing my essay at the same time

[proven elm]

no worries bro

[dusk pumice]

Got to go

still not working

[left dove]

whats ur error?

[proven elm]

none, no error at all but when I add the embedVar.setfooter and set_image it just doesnt send anything, if I remove those two lines then it will send the text

[left dove]

did u defined embedVar object?

[proven elm]

@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
    embedVar = discord.Embed(description='''**Commands Help!**\n\n**➤Prefix(.)**\n**

[left dove]

hmm`

any error msg came in console?

[proven elm]

Nope

[proven elm]

nah nothing sends

at all, nothing whatsoever

[left dove]

wait whta

[proven elm]

but if I remove those 2 lines then it sends

[left dove]

whats ur bot prefix?

[left dove]

which two?

[proven elm]

embedVar.set_footer('UDM Staff Bot •', current_time)
embedVar.set_image(url='https://ibb.co/JFvtMWN')

[slate swan]

Guys I need some help. Anyone have any alternate suggestions for the on_reaction_add event, the issue with this reaction event is it only activates the function to messages sent AFTER the bot was turned on not before.

[left dove]

u have anything decorator like

@help.error

?

[proven elm]

nah don't have that

[stark hearth]

did you import tasks?

[left dove]

https://ibb.co/JFvtMWN

mate the url ur providing is not raw img

[proven elm]

nah why?

[proven elm]

I was recommended imgbb

[stark hearth]

my bad my bad

[left dove]

try anyother google img

[stark hearth]

https://i.ibb.co/gFS9BbG/UDMLogo.png

[proven elm]

oh thank you

[left dove]

huh try this

[stark hearth]

yeah

[stark hearth]

for current_time it uses tasks so do from discord.ext import commands, tasks

[proven elm]

actually I did import tasks already

I use it to loop through activity statuses

[stark hearth]

ahh ok

[proven elm]

also still doesnt send image

[stark hearth]

code again?

[left dove]

maybe send code again

[proven elm]

@client.command()

    await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)

[stark hearth]

did you save?

[outer violet]

i finished my calculator buttons command and i just tried it but whenver i put a symbol or another number it gives me this, idk whats happening

[stark hearth]

i am currently learning buttons, so i cannot help you sorry

[stark hearth]

did you save the code?

[proven elm]

wdym save?

the file? yes

[stark hearth]

ok

[stark hearth]

wait why do you have await channel.send(embed=embedVar) and await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)

just do await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)

[proven elm]

tried both to see if it would work

[slate swan]

..

@stark hearth channel is not defined

[proven elm]

still doesnt work

[slate swan]

that's gonna give him an error

[left dove]

mate i think u might remove that current_time in set_footer

[slate swan]

are u good?

[stark hearth]

yeah

[slate swan]

Remove the channel.send

[left dove]

yea

[proven elm]

I did

[left dove]

ctx.send is enough

[proven elm]

still doesnt send an embed image

[stark hearth]

thats what i said though

[left dove]

his problem is in embed image not coming

[slate swan]

again, not defined so it would give an error, and ctx.send literallt does the exact same thing

[stark hearth]

also i am sleep deprived over this essay

[final iron]

If you want current time I would suggest adding a timestamp with ctx.message.created_at in the discord.Embed object

[left dove]

he defined ctx

[proven elm]

ahh okay thank you

[final iron]

So you would add timestamp=ctx.message.created_at

[stark hearth]

yeah ik i just asked him why you have both

[stark hearth]

@slate swan

[left dove]

...

[slate swan]

the reply pings me u dont have to do it twice.

[proven elm]

done that didn't change anything

[stark hearth]

my bad

[slate swan]

but anyways

[hasty iron]

whats the issue here

[proven elm]

still doesnt send embed image

[slate swan]

!discord.Embed.set_image

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

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

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

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

this code isnt sending embed image

[hasty iron]

does it send the embed without the image or the whole embed isnt getting sent

[proven elm]

nothing is being sent

[hasty iron]

no errors?

oh right

!d discord.Embed.set_footer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_footer

set_footer(*, text=Embed.Empty, icon_url=Embed.Empty)```
Sets the footer for the embed content.

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

[hasty iron]

takes only kwargs

[slate swan]

thats for icon url bruh

[hasty iron]

yeah and text is useless

[proven elm]

so how do I solve my issue?

[slate swan]

But set_image takes https: images???

[hasty iron]

set_footer takes only kwargs and their passing in it as positional

[hasty iron]

pass in text as a kwarg

set_footer(text=…)

[proven elm]

text= ?

[hasty iron]

whatever you want

[left dove]

yea try

[hasty iron]

do you know what a kwarg is

keyword argument

[proven elm]

slightly

[hasty iron]

then you should know how it works

[proven elm]

still sends nothing

text='adihawidhaw'

[slate swan]

keyword arguments

[proven elm]

sends nothing, nothing happens

[hasty iron]

Embed.set_footer takes only kwargs

[hasty iron]

they are keyword arguments

kwargs is an abbreviation for keyword arguments

[slate swan]

ik... i just said that?

[terse slate]

Hello guys I want to learn python to code some discord bots, how much knowledge of python would you guys say is needed in order to start with discord library? Maybe the basic level of python? Or go in depth with python and then move on?

[hasty iron]

send your updated code

[hasty iron]

How much Python do I need to know?

discord.py is ultimately a complicated Python library for beginners. There are many concepts in there that can trip a beginner up and could be confusing. The design of the library is to be easy to use -- however the target audience for the library is not complete beginners of Python.

With that being said, beginners tend to use this library quite liberally anyway and while I appreciate the endeavour and tenacity it should be noted that asking for help here does take up the valuable time of volunteers. As a result certain knowledge is required before you can actively participate in the help channels:

• The difference between instances and class attributes.
  • e.g. guild.name vs discord.Guild.name or any variation of these.
• How to use data structures in the language.
  • dict/tuple/list/str/...
• How to solve NameError or SyntaxError exceptions.
• How to read and understand tracebacks.

This list is not exhaustive

If these concepts are confusing -- please feel free to complete a smaller and simpler project first before diving into the complexities that is asynchronous programming in Python. The Python help channel (#738572311107469354) or the Python server (https://discord.gg/python) could also be a place to go for basic Python help.

[left dove]

functions, asyncio, api's, variables, etc

[hasty iron]

you dont need to know apis

[terse slate]

i want to use the bot to interact with google sheets, isnt that an api?

[left dove]

he need to know api docs

[hasty iron]

?

[slate swan]

well at least understand how to read it?

[hasty iron]

why?

[hasty iron]

do you know what an API is

[left dove]

ik

[hasty iron]

why are you passing in text to set_image

[left dove]

:kekw: i didnt notice

[hasty iron]

i think you mean, "how to read docs"

[slate swan]

yes

[stark hearth]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

[slate swan]

its like connections between a program and the code

for example.. modules

[proven elm]

even if I dont pass in text still doesnt work

[slate swan]

they have an api, that's how its able to work within python to begin with

[hasty iron]

!paste send your full code

[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.pythondiscord.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.

[hasty iron]

like everything

[slate swan]

except the token ofc B)

[left dove]

api is not a module its a webinterface which only servers GET,POST

[hasty iron]

that should be obvious

[slate swan]

I JUST SAID...

BRO READ THE WHOEL THING BEFORE U SAY SUM

[left dove]

ok

[stark hearth]

you would have to be a menace to send your token >:)

[hasty iron]

api doesn’t necessarily mean an http webserver

[proven elm]

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

[hasty iron]

it can be anything

[slate swan]

a connection between the program and the computer

tell me im wrong rn .-.

[terse slate]

what is the optimal way to learn python? i was looking for online courses in datacamp, udemy, etc. I dont know if theres a better option to learn

[slate swan]

thats the most splified i can give u

[hasty iron]

inside the on_command_error add

else:
    raise error

[slate swan]

Honestly... i just used youtube.

I just kinda came into discord.py and see what's good using the API reference

[visual island]

url=

[proven elm]

ill remove it

[left dove]

its already told

[stark hearth]

text is not in set_image

[left dove]

remove it

[hasty iron]

why are you still passing it

[left dove]

yea

[proven elm]

FINALLY IT WORKS!!

[slate swan]

what are u passing set_image...

[left dove]

boom

[proven elm]

now how do I place the image in the footer instead

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

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

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

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

[stark hearth]

👏

[slate swan]

url is the only kwargs

[hasty iron]

!d discord.Embed.set_footer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_footer

set_footer(*, text=Embed.Empty, icon_url=Embed.Empty)```
Sets the footer for the embed content.

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

[terse slate]

may i ask what youtube videos you used to learn? i know theres a loot of videos

[hasty iron]

icon_url

[left dove]

icon_url

[hasty iron]

again, its a kwarg

[slate swan]

I think he gets it now lol

[left dove]

yt vids how many hours u gonna waste?

[stark hearth]

read docs for kwargs @proven elm

[terse slate]

any, i lack a life right now 🙂

[stark hearth]

most of them are old i would recommend reading the updated docs

[hasty iron]

they are talking about python not dpy

[stark hearth]

oh lmao my bad

use free interactive services like freecodecamp

[hasty iron]

videos for python are mostly fine, but you should do your own research, like reading python docs

[stark hearth]

they have videos and interactive practices for you

[stark hearth]

^^^

[proven elm]

image looks kinda cut off?

[left dove]

lol

[stark hearth]

lmao

[left dove]

thats how it comes

[hasty iron]

blame discord

[proven elm]

ight nw thank you guys

[terse slate]

ok thank you guys

[left dove]

why?

[stark hearth]

thats hows its built

[left dove]

lol then why blaming

[slate swan]

u cant do nun about that

[stark hearth]

yeah

[hasty iron]

it was meant as a joke but ok

[left dove]

hmm

[slate swan]

u cant edit image sizes in set_footer

[left dove]

no

[slate swan]

no kwags support it

[left dove]

maybe edit a pic to that pixel and use it

[slate swan]

there are no kwargs in it that lets u do this*

[stark hearth]

the Travel right?

[mental tartan]

yeah

[stark hearth]

countries = random.choice(Travel)

[jaunty sparrow]

wrap the expression in {} like in other places in the string

The {} in an f-string makes it evaluate it

rather than show it literally

[left dove]

at last saw an admin responding here

[mental tartan]

ty

[stark hearth]

zig came in clutch

i am too stupid and tired to think of that

gtg byee

[left dove]

me too

bye

[flat solstice]

Is this the correct way to get my bot to copy and send each embed in a msg starting from the second one (sending the first one in a different msg)py await ctx.reply(content = plain, embed = embed[0].copy(), components = [action_row]) if len(message.embeds) > 0: for embed in message.embeds[1:]: await ctx.reply(embed = embed.copy())

[wicked atlas]

Why do the all need to be in separate messages?

Either way, you shouldn't need to use copy

[boreal ravine]

Maybe you didn't make it edit the message? Or it's a discord problem

[quiet coral]

Hello is it better to use events or commands?

[little ether]

well, commands are cleaner imo, there are many events, both are useful

[patent lark]

utilize both, but when making commands please make them using the command decorators from discord.ext, not with an on_message event.

[quiet coral]

if I wanted my commands to run in one channel can I make just one if statement or I have to write the if statement for every command?

[patent lark]

you could write a function, or make your own decorator for it

[little ether]

you could use a check https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check , its way cleaner

[quiet coral]

what do you mean by write a function

[visual island]

um, how do you hide a cog? Is hidden a thing in Cog?

[fallow mauve]

this command isnt working, any idea why?

[patent lark]

looks fine to me, do you have an on_message event?

[fallow mauve]

no

wait

[patent lark]

any errors when you run the command?

[fallow mauve]

no errors

should i send the full code?

[patent lark]

yeah

[lament mesa]

yeah, but that hides the commands

[patent lark]

you have an on_message event..

[fallow mauve]

mhm

[visual island]

how about the cog then?

[fallow mauve]

does that mess it up?

[patent lark]

you need to process commands probably

[visual island]

and hidden = True raises TypeError: __init_subclass__() takes no keyword arguments

[lament mesa]

dont know about that

[patent lark]

await bot.process_commands(message)

[lament mesa]

command_attrs=dict(hidden=True)

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.CogMeta

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.CogMeta

class discord.ext.commands.CogMeta(*args, **kwargs)```
A metaclass for defining a cog.

Note that you should probably not use this directly. It is exposed purely for documentation purposes along with making custom metaclasses to intermix with other metaclasses such as the [`abc.ABCMeta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/abc.html#abc.ABCMeta "(in Python v3.9)") metaclass.

For example, to create an abstract cog mixin class, the following would be done...

[fallow mauve]

where would that go in the code?

[maiden fable]

Try seeing that. It has the args

[little ether]

at the end of the on_message handler

[patent lark]

top or bottom of your on_message event

[lament mesa]

It only takes command_attrs, name and description

[surreal creek]

at the end of on_message event

[patent lark]

make sure its not under any if conditions either

[maiden fable]

Or just change the deco. It's an easier way

[patent lark]

to a listener?

[maiden fable]

@bot.listen() instead of @bot.event

[lament mesa]

You can set your own hidden attribute though @visual island

[visual island]

yeah i will

[maiden fable]

@patent lark

[visual island]

Ill probably make my own metaclass

[lament mesa]

yeah

[fallow mauve]

is this right?

[maiden fable]

No

Just remove that line and change the deco

[fallow mauve]

deco?

[maiden fable]

From @bot.event to @bot.listen()

Ezzzzz

[little ether]

decorator, that @something thing is called a decorator

[maiden fable]

Yea that ^^^
My bad

[fallow mauve]

ok, thx for finally explaining that to me

[surreal creek]

at end

[fallow mauve]

nobody had done that yet

[maiden fable]

Ah

Well dpy is all about decos

[fallow mauve]

command "say" still not found

[maiden fable]

Show code

Did u do @bot.command()?

[surreal creek]

he did

[maiden fable]

Hmm

[maiden fable]

I know why

[fallow mauve]

what

[maiden fable]

The command name is <say (ctx

Cz that's what u specified in the deco

Try running with this name

[fallow mauve]

?

im lost

[little ether]

just put say in there, or just leave it empty cuz the func name is already say

[muted cosmos]

try removing the thing inside the deco

[fallow mauve]

this pops up now

how fix?

[muted cosmos]

oh lol

[fallow mauve]

nvm

[little ether]

...not that one, the one at your say command

[fallow mauve]

this?

[little ether]

remove the <, just put say in there, or just leave it empty cuz the func name is already say , d.py will do the command processing, you don't need to add the prefix in the command name

[patent lark]

yeah like i said, a listener

[fallow mauve]

works, thx so much

[muted cosmos]

whats the difference between .listen() and .event?

[fallow mauve]

y'all are really helping me a lot, ive learned so much about python in the last few days

[patent lark]

when you listen for an event, you can specify the event you listen to, @bot.listen("function_name") and then you could define the function as anything you want, i dont know too much about the benefits, but i know that with on_message it removes your requirement to process commands, and its good when you want mutliple on_message events.

[muted cosmos]

oh i see

thx, im gonna implement that on my dpy

[patent lark]

no problem

[fallow mauve]

im making this bot to help in the discord server for my friend's mc SMP and im trying to learn python as i make it, so thx for helping me with this, i rly appreciate it

[patent lark]

👍

[slate swan]

I wanna get a list of the guild names that my bot is connected to..

Here is my code: py @bot.event async def on_ready(): for guilds in bot.guilds: print(guilds.name)

But the code gives error: 'Guilds' is not iterable

Please help

[fallow mauve]

never used guilds, sry

[slate swan]

:(

[fallow mauve]

*in code

[maiden fable]

No need to input the function name

[red forge]

just watch a tutorial on youtube like how to add options to slash commands in discordpy examle /add num1 num2

[patent lark]

if you'd like to change the name of the function you define then yeah, like if you want two on_message events

[maiden fable]

Yea

[crystal wind]

I actually write my discord bot code in replit, although I was wondering if you could play an mp3 file from the bot in VC, by playing the mp3 file that was locally given on replit.

[soft radish]

https://gyazo.com/3b6fb878e509f39dc5831d459b258a9d

this wat i meant

[boreal ravine]

I know.

[boreal ravine]

you can

dunno how tho

[tiny ibex]

That's how music bots kinda work IDK how it can be done but it can be

[boreal ravine]

thats what I just said

[tiny ibex]

😅

[crystal wind]

I know you can do something like this, although I'm not sure how am I supposed to implement it on a command. Most of the tutorials are referring to youtube_dl, but we can't do that anymore.

[ocean leaf]

can we mention someone in discord embed title?

[boreal ravine]

Nope

The title is fully MD'd

[ocean leaf]

ok

[slate swan]

Can anyonr help me

[lyric moat]

i tried making a make embed command but how do i added image?

@client.command()
async def make_embed(ctx):
    def check(message):
        return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel

    await ctx.send('Waiting for a title')
    title = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
  
    await ctx.send('Waiting for a description')
    desc = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
    
    await ctx.send('Waiting for a Image')
    image = await client.wait_for('link', check=check)

    embed = discord.Embed(title=title.content, description=desc.content,image=image.content,color=0x2f3136)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

It's guild.name

[ocean leaf]

any mistake?

[supple thorn]

Color

[ocean leaf]

guild.name

[ocean leaf]

discord.Color?

[slate swan]

After success put a comma and change name of colour to color

[supple thorn]

Yeah its spellling is american

[ocean leaf]

ohh i worked with embed a lot of time ago so i almost forgot about it 😂

[slate swan]

!d discord.Colour

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour

class discord.Colour(value)```
Represents a Discord role colour. This class is similar to a (red, green, blue) [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)").

There is an alias for this called Color...

[slate swan]

Oh lol

[slate swan]

you are missing a comma after success'

title="whatever", colour=..

[ocean leaf]

yeah got it

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

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

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

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

[ocean leaf]

yes

[slate swan]

you can use either

[lyric moat]

How i do it exactly

[slate swan]

embed.set_image(url="your image url")

[slate swan]

you can use both color and colour

[lyric moat]

Its not like one of those its a custom embed command

[lyric moat]

Code is here

[slate swan]

this @lyric moat

[lyric moat]

Ik that but its a custom embed it makes the embed for you in chat

[slate swan]

after getting the message object from py image = await client.wait_for('link', check=check), you can use```py
embed.set_image(url= image.content)

also , if the user enters a wrong url , whole embed fails so make sure to use try and except

[lyric moat]

error

[slate swan]

read the docs of set_image

set_image is a function

its not a parameter

is a function

^

embed = discord.Embed(title = title.content, description = desc.content, color = 0x2f3136)
embed.set_image(url = image.content)

[wintry ledge]

if this isnt the proper place to message this, i am sorry

[blissful lagoon]

!rule 9

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[wintry ledge]

Sorry

[boreal ravine]

1. Missing comma after title.
2. Discord.py allows both Colour and Color.

[boreal ravine]

You could do ```py
embed=discord.Embed(title=title.content, description=description.content, color=0x2f3136).set_image(url=image.content)

[lyric moat]

How do I make the image works?

does not work

[ocean leaf]

isn't this how we import cogs?

[stark hearth]

is your folder named commands right?

also it has to be commands. in load extension

[slate swan]

what's ur folders name?

[stark hearth]

^^^

[ocean leaf]

yes it is

[slate swan]

It should commands.{filename.…

[stark hearth]

its client.load_extension(f'commands.{filename[:-3]}')

[ocean leaf]

ok

[mental cairn]

is it possible for discord bots to ignore mentions from replies?

[ocean leaf]

what is this? it can't recognize

[slate swan]

mention_author=False

[mental cairn]

oh alright thanks

[ocean leaf]

@stark hearth

[slate swan]

Did u made a cog command?

[ocean leaf]

yes

it is in commands folder

and i wanna import it in main.py

[slate swan]

It's replit?

[ocean leaf]

yes

[slate swan]

Aah idk

[ocean leaf]

i think it works in the same way as in vscode or any other ide

[slate swan]

I didn't got any error like this

[slate swan]

For this code u should make command called load and unload so that u can load cogs

it a error in the cog

[slate swan]

something is wrong with the code in the cog

literally the error

[slate swan]

did u setup cog

[ocean leaf]

yes

[slate swan]

Send cog code here

[ocean leaf]

ok

[little ether]

your mongodb url is formatted wrong, idk pymongo tho

[ocean leaf]

u mean invalid url?

[little ether]

yes, from looking at the error

[ocean leaf]

i just copied and pasted the url from mongodb and changed the <password> with my password

without space

i think it is correct

it is correct

i chacked

[mental cairn]

it says undefined variable

[ocean leaf]

wdym message_author

have u made the boolean?

[mental cairn]

i want it to ignore reply mentions

[mental cairn]

uh no

[ocean leaf]

make it

thats whi it says

also

if u want the bot to reply but it will not tag him

[mental cairn]

thts not what im saying, ive my bot reply to mentions with its syntax and help command, and i want it to ignore mentions that are from replies

[ocean leaf]

idk really but ig it is await message.reply(mention_author = False)

[mental cairn]

but thats for making the bot reply

right?

[ocean leaf]

yes

[mental cairn]

im not talking about that

[ocean leaf]

idk much about mentions sorry

[mental cairn]

you know how when u mention bots, they reply with what their prefix is

[ocean leaf]

yes

[mental cairn]

my bot does that, and i want it to ignore mentions that are from replies

these

[ocean leaf]

ok

[mental cairn]

is that possible?

[ocean leaf]

so i think it is

is there message.type? idk

wait

lemme see docs

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66956261/check-if-message-reply-is-a-reply-type-message-discord-py

this can help

[ocean leaf]

pls help

[slate swan]

would this work

before.guild.id, before.author.id

[slate swan]

for what member updates?

[amber stratus]

Hello i had a small doubt

I want my bot to send the message in one line itself

but it says the message.send() takes only one argument

[slate swan]

can you send your code?

[amber stratus]

sure

if message.content=="/hello":
        await message.channel.send("Hello there!")
        await message.channel.send(a)```

I want to send it in one message

[slate swan]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[slate swan]

Does this help?

Also think on making commands instead of waiting for a message

As rather soon you won't be able to do it, message intents will be there.

[amber stratus]

Thanks a lot it worked

[amber stratus]

Yeah thanks will do

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

well, before and after are discord.Member objects

[amber stratus]

Also everyone here uses pycord right

[slate swan]

oh yea

so before.guild will work though right*

yep

[slate swan]

nop

i dont trust any forks of dpy as of rn

thanks

[boreal ravine]

I use pycord-fork-discord-fork-disnake-components.py

[amber stratus]

Nice

[amber stratus]

Well you have to sooner or later

[slate swan]

nop not until 1 of them standsout

[slate swan]

also i dont think bots will be a thing anymore in 2023

[boreal ravine]

y

[slate swan]

discords making bots use slash commands and adding message intents in 2022 what will you think they add or remove in 2023

also
