discord-bots

[boreal ravine]

use message.author

[tropic briar]

@client.command()
async def ban(message, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await message.send("hmm")
    await member.ban(reason=reason)
    await message.send('A member has been banned')

[boreal ravine]

error?

[tropic briar]

It's not even sending the message

[tropic briar]

No

[boreal ravine]

wtf

wasnt it an event?

[boreal ravine]

theres no such thing as no error

[tropic briar]

Oh wait

I showed you a different function

[boreal ravine]

why is there message in the command tho

use ctx for commands

and use certain params for events

[sacred folio]

def check(reaction, user):
      if (str(reaction.emoji == emoji_yes) and client.user != user):
          return reaction.users()

reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)

I use this to handle players that react on an embed.

[tropic briar]

@client.event
async def on_message(ctx, message, member):
  for i in range(len(Filter)):
    if Filter[i] in message.content:
      for j in range(1):
        await member.ban(reason='filter')
        await message.send('A member has been banned')

[boreal ravine]

WHY is there ctx in an event

[visual island]

on_message only takes message

[tropic briar]

Ok ok I will remove it

[visual island]

remove member too

[sacred folio]

If im not mistaken, am i supposed to use on_reaction_remove in the same way and just have another wait_for? This part is puzzling me

[tropic briar]

@client.event
async def on_message(message, member):
  for i in range(len(Filter)):
    if Filter[i] in message.content:
      for j in range(1):
        await member.ban(reason='filter')
        await message.send('A member has been banned')
``` I have to go now

[slate swan]

How do I do this?
Those hidden messsage thingys.

i'd rather use on_raw_reaction_remove

correction... message.channel.send

message in his function is used as is message object

not context

what??

that would ban the person who triggerd the command

bruh

[boreal ravine]

not a command

an event

[boreal ravine]

yeah? we already knew that

[slate swan]

okay then why are u sayng member.author?

message.author*

[boreal ravine]

when did i say that?

i never said that member.author

[sacred folio]

On raw reaction remove? I did try that but couldnt get it to work, all i got it to tell me was that there was no member, users wasnt an option either as it is in reaction_add

[slate swan]

@boreal ravine if u say so .-.

[boreal ravine]

yes i said that

[slate swan]

its payload for raw_on_reaction_remove

also u need reaction intents to make sure it actually works

the param for it is only payload

[boreal ravine]

there are intents for that?

aren't there only 2 intents

[slate swan]

.-.

there is intents for almost every thing that cant be stored on a internal cache when its offline

[boreal ravine]

only 2

[slate swan]

BRUH DIS MAN

🤣

[boreal ravine]

im not a man

please stop calling me that

[slate swan]

The lib has more but most of them are enabled by default

!d discord.Intents.default

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.default

classmethod default()```
A factory method that creates a [`Intents`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents "discord.Intents") with everything enabled except [`presences`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.presences "discord.Intents.presences") and [`members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members").

[slate swan]

Only presences and members need to be enabled manually

^

[sacred folio]

That feels so weird

[slate swan]

I usually just do discord.Intents.All() so I dont have to worry about the ones disabled

Same

[sacred folio]

So i dont need intents to handle when someone reacts on the embed, but i need them for when someone removes their reaction?

[slate swan]

u need them for anytime u use raw events

not just those 2

like raw_on_message_delete or smth

think that's should be the name

There's also reaction intents iirc

there is a whole section for it in the api reference

[sacred folio]

Hmm, if there is a reaction_add, why isnt there just a reaction_remove

[slate swan]

!d discord.Intents.reactions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.reactions

Whether guild and direct message reaction related events are enabled.

This is a shortcut to set or get both guild_reactions and dm_reactions.

This corresponds to the following events...

[slate swan]

As well as emojis

These

[sacred folio]

Okay so step 1,get all intents so all gateway events are available

[slate swan]

indeed

[sacred folio]

Then i need a new async def for the on raw reaction remove with payload as its only parameter

Can i create that locally within the command or does it have to be completely separate

[vagrant brook]

You can use wait_for if you want it to be in a command

[sacred folio]

I couldnt get it to work

But yeah, i would like it in my command

[valid perch]

Well it is wait_for, so if you can show us what you tried we can help

[sacred folio]

def check(reaction, user):
      if (str(reaction.emoji == emoji_yes) and client.user != user):
          return reaction.users()

reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)

I use this to handle players that react on an embed.

And it works, i can update the embed

[valid perch]

Check needs to return True / False

[high flame]

check return bool

[valid perch]

wait_for will only give you your value back when check returns true

[sacred folio]

Oh okay

Because i basically set up the same wait for structure for my remove

[high flame]

and look str(reaction.emoji == emoji_yes)

that's wrong too

str(reaction.emoji) == emoji_yes

[sacred folio]

Oh wow, ill fix that

Now add doesnt work either

[high flame]

show what you did

[broken dirge]

Does anyone know how to set an activity status?

[sacred folio]

def check(reaction, user) :
    if(str(reaction.emoji) ==  emoji_yes and client.user! = user):
    return True

while True:
    reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check) 

[broken dirge]

Do you guys know what library do you need for activity command

[slate swan]

you don't need a library

[slate swan]

!d discord.Activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Activity

class discord.Activity(**kwargs)```
Represents an activity in Discord.

This could be an activity such as streaming, playing, listening or watching.

For memory optimisation purposes, some activities are offered in slimmed down versions:

• [`Game`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Game "discord.Game")

• [`Streaming`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Streaming "discord.Streaming")

[sacred folio]

I dont understand the check, it works when i return reaction.users()

[tropic briar]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.')
Filter = ['giant', 'hi', 'hello', 'monke', 'bye', 'balance']
message_cooldown = commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1.0, 60.0, commands.BucketType.user)


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=discord.Game('Hello there!!'))
    print('Bot is ready')
    print('Bot is now Online')


@client.event
async def on_message(message, member):
  for i in range(len(Filter)):
    if Filter[i] in message.content:
      for j in range(1):
        await member.ban(reason='filter')
        await message.send('A member has been banned')

@client.command()
async def kick(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await member.kick(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send('A member has been Kicked')


@client.command()
async def ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await ctx.send("hmm")
    await member.ban(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send('A member has been banned')


@client.command()
async def setdelay(ctx, seconds: int):
    await ctx.channel.edit(slowmode_delay=seconds)
    await ctx.send(f"Set the slowmode delay in this channel to {seconds} seconds!")


@client.command()
async def clear(ctx, amount=5):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)


@client.command()
async def delete(ctx, message):
    await ctx.channel.delete(message)

No command is working

Not a single one

[slate swan]

add py await client.process_commands(message) at the end of the on_message event

[tropic briar]

Ok lemme try

[valid perch]

That's truthy. Fix your indentation and return a default value..

[lean tinsel]

can someone explain how the sliding windows works?

like I am 5

[sacred folio]

Im on a scuffed setup where i can only have discord on my phone, any indentation or misspelling is from me manually typing it in my phone. But i did try returning true and false after the if statement. It didnt work

Returning true or false in the check*

[mortal thistle]

hey

there is a problem

when I run my code in VS Code

it's working fine

but when I run my code on replit it starts giving me errors

[gloomy coral]

This shows error

subreddit=reddit.subreddit("memes")  
        top=subreddit.top(Limit= 5) 
        for submission in top:
            print(submission.title)```

shows no limit found

shld i use praw or async praw

[waxen python]

async if you can

[grim oar]

you must

[waxen python]

So i have my bot running some moviepy things, some video converting things and general tools, when these finish running, im left with quite a high memory usage, is there a way to clear this?

[gloomy coral]

alright

Hi, im using async praw to get memes and it works...

but its too slow what can i do?

[waxen python]

use aiohttp instead

to get the image and link and title

[maiden fable]

Raw GET requests with aiohttp

[waxen python]

yeah

for eg https://old.reddit.com/r/memes/random/.json

[grim oar]

that sounds like a memory leak

[waxen python]

well its probably because the scripts that im using are meant to run once then terminate. Can i clear them out of my bot?

[gloomy coral]

idk how to do tht, isnt praw easier?

[waxen python]

without a subprocess if at all possible

[gloomy coral]

Here is my code

@commands.command(aliases=['Meme'])
    async def meme(self,ctx):

        
        subreddit=await reddit.subreddit("memes") 
        all_subs = [] 
        top=subreddit.top(limit= 50) 
        async for submission in top:
            all_subs.append(submission)

        random_sub=random.choice(all_subs)
        name=random_sub.title
        url=random_sub.url
        em=discord.Embed(title=name,color=discord.Color.random())
        em.set_image(url=url)
        await ctx.send(embed=em)```

[waxen python]

you just want to get one meme?

[grim oar]

It should get terminated the point the program ends, is there something which is keeping it alive

[waxen python]

I dont think so

[grim oar]

Hmm

idk try forcing gc, tho chances are low that anything will be changed

[waxen python]

import gc

then gc.collect()? or something else?

[grim oar]

Yeah

[waxen python]

ight

does that dump it to a file or?

[grim oar]

No

[waxen python]

just it just get yionked

[grim oar]

It unloads the weakx and other objects with 0 refs from the memory

[waxen python]

ok cool, i dont want it saved.

[grim oar]

It doesn't work like that

[waxen python]

i think it helped a little but im not sure if thats just a placebo

[grim oar]

Hmm yeah idk then

[slate swan]

hi

[waxen python]

thanks anyway

[grim oar]

np

[west escarp]

Please do not request help with NSFW services here

[slate swan]

hey so i am trying to make a search command for my bot of a site using selenium but the site is not having a search url site and search button its just search website and you have type and you will get result
there are the codes

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('link/search')
searchbox = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div/div/div[7]/nav/div/div[3]/div/div[1]/input')

[slate swan]

this ok?

idk what to do anymore because selenium docs have search.button

[west escarp]

It's alright. I would suggest learning this on a site more appropriate then applying it elsewhere, so you can actually get decent help

[slate swan]

meaning I cannot request help here?

[west escarp]

You can, but without linking or providing any evidence of what site (to comply with our rules about sfw content). And by doing that, you're likely to have issues actually solving your issue.

[slate swan]

I see

I want to make search command for my discord of a site using selenium
(site doesnt have search result url site or search.button)

codes:
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('link/search')
searchbox = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div/div/div/div[7]/nav/div/div[3]/div/div[1]/input')

now?

[grim oar]

Uhh That's not related to discord bots so ig best place to ask wud be #web-development

[slate swan]

i want to make the search command for my discord bot

[slate swan]

sorry I forgot to mention that

[grim oar]

But still, your chances of getting help here regarding non dbot topics (like that) is very low, you should ask in #web-development

[slate swan]

hm okay

thank you

[grim oar]

np

[sacred folio]

Does anyone definitively know if wait_for can handle on_reaction_remove?

[gloomy coral]

1 random meme

[waxen python]

why are you looking through the top 50 then

[gloomy coral]

uh idk, ppl can run it again and again right

i dont wanna have only 5 memes

[waxen granite]

is there a way to automatically get the missing permission required by the bot?

in on_command_error

[boreal ravine]

the bot missing perms or you

[waxen granite]

bot

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions

exception discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions(missing_permissions, *args)```
Exception raised when the bot’s member lacks permissions to run a command.

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

[boreal ravine]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions.missing_perms

[waxen granite]

in commands.botmissingpermission, how do i get the Permission that is required?

[boreal ravine]

just send the error

[waxen granite]

the perm name

[boreal ravine]

hm

[slate swan]

just a second , ill ping you when i reply

[waxen granite]

sure

[slate swan]

its error.missing_perms , it will return a list

[waxen granite]

can a bot owner use commands for which he does not have guild permission?

[tough wagon]

if there is has_persmissions check - no

[waxen granite]

how about i do a ownerCheck?

if the ctx.user.id == owner.id

then?

[tough wagon]

eh

def owner_or_permissions(**perms):
    original = commands.has_permissions(**perms).predicate
    async def extended_check(ctx):
        if ctx.guild is None:
            return False
        return bot.owner_id == ctx.author.id or await original(ctx)
    return commands.check(extended_check)```

like this @waxen granite

[waxen granite]

ye

it will work right?

[tough wagon]

there is more examples in next message @waxen granite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via [`Command.checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks").

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError"). Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error").

[heavy radish]

How do I delete the authors message?

[maiden fable]

error.missing_permissions* . It was changed in 2.0 iirc

[maiden fable]

ctx.message.delete

[tough wagon]

it always was missing_permissions

[heavy radish]

Thank Youu

[maiden fable]

Oh okay. Could be I was wrong

[magic mica]

Hey guys,
I am making a discord.py bot. The problem is that, whenever I run it, an error comes up. The error is -
SyntaxError- await outside function

[slate swan]

not in 1.7.3

[slate swan]

oh , i was not aware about that since i shifted to hikari

[maiden fable]

Thought so

[maiden fable]

Ah, okay

[tough wagon]

you have await something in def function or outside the function

[magic mica]

outside the function

[tough wagon]

await can be called only in async def function.

[magic mica]

ok

[tough wagon]

that's python syntax

[steep estuary]

how to fetch and then edit a row in asyncpg discord.py ?

postgres

:/

[heavy radish]

Question: Is there a BOT version of this?? member: discord.Member

or will this do for all

[hasty iron]

what do you mean

[visual island]

bot version?

[slate swan]

you want the user to mention a bot only?

[heavy radish]

Yes

Like a command where it wont work if you mention members

[slate swan]

you can use py if not member.bot: return

[visual island]

before_invoke would do I think

[heavy radish]

Hm

[slate swan]

inside the command

[heavy radish]

Okay thank you

[full valley]

Hey guys, I’m trying to make like a queue of some sorts. So players can use !q, and then the q will remember the player and become 1/6, then another player will q and it will become 2/6.. etc.

[visual island]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[heavy radish]

F

[slate swan]

what are you trying to do?

[heavy radish]

So I want to add a temprole

[slate swan]

can you be more specific about the term 'temprole'

[heavy radish]

a temporary role

for a set amount of time

[slate swan]

which gets removed after some time?

[heavy radish]

yes

Keep Ping On

[slate swan]

for how long? if its for a short time py asyncio.sleep() will work

[heavy radish]

Like

1h

max a day

[slate swan]

you would be using a database

[visual island]

a db, with tasks.loop

[heavy radish]

ohh

[slate swan]

to store time when to remove the role

[heavy radish]

I don't have a data base

[visual island]

make one

[hasty iron]

then get one

[visual island]

its not that hard

[heavy radish]

How do I make one?

[slate swan]

use aiosqlite probably

[slate swan]

wtf

[hasty iron]

you dont make a db, you use one

[visual island]

[slate swan]

its not something you can just make like /makedb

it takes time lmao

[heavy radish]

Hm

I'll figure this out tomorrow

[void mortar]

!h discord.ext.commands.Command.call

[heavy radish]

Need to sleep

[visual island]

they understand the point, dont they?

[visual island]

dunder methods arent documented

[hasty iron]

they are?

[visual island]

oh

[full valley]

Any ideas guys i’m kinda struggling, don’t know where to find help.

[hasty iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.call

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.\_\_call\_\_

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

Calls the internal callback that the command holds.

Note

This bypasses all mechanisms – including checks, converters, invoke hooks, cooldowns, etc. You must take care to pass the proper arguments and types to this function.

New in version 1.3.

[slate swan]

Hi I have a bot that I'm using to change permissions for a role when a channel is created. However my bot runs into forbidden 403 error. When I explicitly enable the manage permissions for everyone role my bot is able to execute the command (I'm using a listener for channel edits as well). My bot has manage channel permissions serverwide and I'm using discord.py.

[valid niche]

Well 403 literally means the bot cannot do the thing you requested

[slate swan]

it doesnt have the perms to do it

[slate swan]

yes I know but it does have the permissions for it

but i get discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

[valid niche]

It discord returns 403 it literally says no permission, can’t do it at all, no matter what you think it can do

[slate swan]

when I enable manage permissions explicitly it works

[slate swan]

I know that

but it shouldn't

[valid niche]

Well that is obviously needed to change channel permissions

[slate swan]

is that available for the role permissions?

[sacred folio]

def check(reaction, user):
      return str(reaction.emoji) == emoji_yes and client.user != user

while True:
        reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
      reaction, user = await client.wait_for('on_reaction_remove',
check=check)

When the last line is added everything stops working. Anyone that knows the proper way to make both actions work?

[slate swan]

on the roles page

[valid niche]

Manage roles is required to edit roles of a channel

[valid niche]

You don’t use wait_for them but a proper event

[slate swan]

ah i see thanks

[vocal shoal]

is there an event that triggers when the bot get shutdown/killed?

[slate swan]

i thought its the manage channels that is

wait it does have manage roles

[visual island]

you can just dispatch your own event in bot.close

[valid niche]

on_disconnect, keep in mind that the bot is already disconnected and you will NOT be able to send messages to discord anymore

[vocal shoal]

ok thx 👍

[sacred folio]

@valid niche its all being handled inside of a command

[hasty iron]

it can be called during a reconnect

[heavy radish]

Is discord BOTs considered virtual servers or web hosting?

or domains

[slate swan]

definetly not a domain

[heavy radish]

What VPS do you use to host BOTs?

[slate swan]

im local hosting my bot as of rn

trying to find a good but cheap vps

[heavy radish]

Hmm...What would you recommend me

Its a small bot

[slate swan]

idk tbh

[heavy radish]

Public server use

F

Pebble seems nice as I can run my code there and everything is online. But they recommend not using that

I need to talk to some experts here

Pebble is $3 a month

[past ermine]

is there a way to make it a prefix if the bot gets mentioned

[maiden fable]

aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorCertificateError: Cannot connect to host API:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, '[SSL: 
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1123)')]

Yo anyone here knows about this error when I try to connect to my API? (aiohttp)

It worked till yesterday and is still working on my main bot

[waxen granite]

how do i get the member.name from role.members?

[maiden fable]

use a loop

[lament mesa]

Maybe this will help
#discord-bots message

[waxen granite]

member.name for member in role.members like this?

[lament mesa]

its a list you can iterate through it

[maiden fable]

Yea I was seeing that only haha. Thanks!

[visual island]

sure

[waxen granite]

<generator object Fun.list.<locals>.<genexpr> at 0x000001DFF262D900> gives this

[visual island]

list() it

[waxen granite]

elif option.lower() == "bt": role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name = "BankTime") await ctx.send(member.name for member in role.members)

[visual island]

or just directly [member.name for member in role.members]

[waxen granite]

ok

[high flame]

no

or wait

would that work?

[waxen granite]

done

ye

[visual island]

no, and yes

[high flame]

it will print many time i guess

because you aren't doing [] around it

[visual island]

no, it will print generator object

[high flame]

ah

list(generator) then

[visual island]

as _ for _ in _ is something that yields

so its a generator

[lament mesa]

use [] instead of (). () will return a generator

[waxen granite]

','.join(member.name for member in role.members) it works

[tropic briar]

@client.command()
async def clear(ctx, amount=5):
         await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)

Why is clear command not working

[visual island]

Errors?

[tropic briar]

No

I think because I have hosted it

[boreal ravine]

why do u always not have errors?

[lament mesa]

typehint the amount parameter with int

[tropic briar]

I am not checking rn but there were not errors before

[hasty iron]

you should use a list comp instead of a generator

list comp is faster

[tropic briar]

Are you just telling me the error

[lament mesa]

no.

[waxen granite]

what is list comp?

[hasty iron]

list comprehension

[visual island]

this one

[tropic briar]

But I didn't understand

[waxen granite]

oh

[boreal ravine]

Well I just tested the command

[waxen granite]

is there a link for it?

[boreal ravine]

It works. So how did urs not work?

[tropic briar]

Ya that was fast

[tropic briar]

Idk This is happening maybe after I have hosted it

Lemme check again

It's not working

And That happened after I hosted my bot on replit.com

[visual island]

replit is not even a hosting service

[boreal ravine]

@tropic briar did u restart ur bot

[slate swan]

broken indent?

[boreal ravine]

nope

[visual island]

they said they didnt get any errors

[boreal ravine]

@client.command()
async def clear(ctx, amount=5):
  await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)```
his indents big tho

[boreal ravine]

2 times lol

[slate swan]

yes and python is quite strict with indents

[visual island]

probably an 8 space indent

[boreal ravine]

it isnt

an indent problem

Probably

1. He didnt restart the bot
2. Permissions

[waxen granite]

in on_guild_role_update , how can i log the permission that was updated?

[visual island]

after.permissions I think

[waxen granite]

do i need to do the difference of before and after perms?

[lament mesa]

arguments given will be strings but channel.purge only takes in integers not strings so typehint the amount parameter with int

[waxen granite]

or just afterperms will work?

[crystal cliff]

Anybody got on_member_join channel msg code pls, that works in py pls?

[slate swan]

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'is_playing'

[slate swan]

just make your own

[crystal cliff]

Tried that, but only works on dm Join.

[visual island]

what? Bots can't join dm?

and group chats

[crystal cliff]

When members join, it sends a welcome msg lol

[lament mesa]

selfbot

[slate swan]

the trick is to blackmail discord staff members to add your bot to a group chat

why doesn't it work

[visual island]

.overwrites maybe

[slate swan]

@slate swan pls help

[stark bobcat]

ok

[visual island]

just put the if statement inside try block

[stark bobcat]

inside cogs

[slate swan]

why?

[visual island]

you should do from cogs.server_setup import ...

[stark bobcat]

oh

[waxen granite]

@visual island

[visual island]

hm actually, it should work. How if you put your voice_client = ... after the except block?

[slate swan]

i will try

[stark bobcat]

@visual island

[visual island]

.pair it?

[stark bobcat]

it's defined

[lament mesa]

Don't use globals.

[stark bobcat]

why not

[waxen granite]

before.permissions.pair?

[lament mesa]

!globals

[visual island]

mhm

[unkempt canyon]

When adding functions or classes to a program, it can be tempting to reference inaccessible variables by declaring them as global. Doing this can result in code that is harder to read, debug and test. Instead of using globals, pass variables or objects as parameters and receive return values.

Instead of writing

def update_score():
    global score, roll
    score = score + roll
update_score()

do this instead

def update_score(score, roll):
    return score + roll
score = update_score(score, roll)

For in-depth explanations on why global variables are bad news in a variety of situations, see this Stack Overflow answer.

[stark bobcat]

oh

[waxen granite]

AttributeError: 'Permissions' object has no attribute 'pair'

[stark bobcat]

but how do i fix this

[visual island]

try discord.Permissions(after.permissions.value)

[visual island]

where did you use it

[stark bobcat]

use what?

[visual island]

the var

[waxen granite]

same as before

[visual island]

bruh wait

[stark bobcat]

in report.py

[stark bobcat]

this is in server_setup.py

[visual island]

.all it maybe?

[visual island]

!botvar then

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

bruhhh

[waxen granite]

if i add/remove 1 or more perms, i want only those perms to be listed

[visual island]

I think you should convert it to PermissionsOverwrite

[visual island]

to?

[waxen granite]

while logging

like this

[visual island]

hm, after.permissions.manage_channels

etc

[waxen granite]

so i got to list all the perms seperately?

[visual island]

mm, maybe? not sure

[hasty iron]

you can iterate through a Permissions object

[tranquil cape]

dpy 2.0a has support for lists and buttons?

and slash commands too?

if not what lib do you guys prefer for the above

[waxen granite]

how do i check if the perm is True or False?

[visual island]

yes, but not slash commands

[tranquil cape]

oh then what do you prefer for slash

[visual island]

if perm: or if not perm:

[maiden fable]

!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.

[visual island]

        if before.permissions != after.permissions:

                    embed.add_field(name = "Added Permission(s):", value = changed_perm[0], inline =  False)
                elif changed_perm[1] == False:

                await logChannel.send(embed = embed)```
when i add multiple perms it add multiple fields in the embed, how do i add them under a single field?

how do change the for line

[maiden fable]

U should use join

Do u know str.join()?

[waxen granite]

idk

[maiden fable]

!join

[unkempt canyon]

Joining Iterables

If you want to display a list (or some other iterable), you can write:

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
output = ""
separator = ", "
for color in colors:
    output += color + separator
print(output)
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow, '

However, the separator is still added to the last element, and it is relatively slow.

A better solution is to use str.join.

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
separator = ", "
print(separator.join(colors))
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow'

An important thing to note is that you can only str.join strings. For a list of ints,
you must convert each element to a string before joining.

integers = [1, 3, 6, 10, 15]
print(", ".join(str(e) for e in integers))
# Prints '1, 3, 6, 10, 15'

[half briar]

FFmpegPCMAudio how to install

[waxen granite]

'\n'.join(str(changed_perm[0]) for changed_perm[0] in changed_perm) like this bro?

[maiden fable]

What's changed_perm?

[waxen granite]

.

the perm i add/remove

[hasty iron]

cant you just do for perm, value in diff

and check value?

and send perm if value is True

[waxen granite]

            for perm, value in diff:
                if value == True:
                    embed.add_field(name = "Added Permission(s):", value = perm, inline =  False)
                elif value == False:
                    embed.add_field(name = "Removed Permission(s):", value = perm, inline  = False)```

@hasty ironlike this?

[hasty iron]

sure

does it work?

also you dont need to do list(...)

diff = list(set(after.permissions).difference(set(before.permissions))) here

[waxen granite]

then?

[hasty iron]

a set is an iterable

like a list

diff = set(after.permissions).difference(set(before.permissions)) is enough

[waxen granite]

it did not work

it creates a field for each perm

like before

[hollow mortar]

hey i need help here

[hasty iron]

well yes?

[hollow mortar]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    f = open("badwords.txt" , "r")
    liness = f.read()
    if message.content.lower() in liness:
        await message.delete()
        await message.channel.send("You Cant Say That")
    await bot.process_commands(message)```

[hasty iron]

read your code

[waxen granite]

how do i avoid it?

thats why i am here 😦

[hollow mortar]

this code works but if i say a word in the badwords file it only remove the msg that have only the word

[hasty iron]

make 2 lists, one for the removed permissions and the other for the added

and then add_field and join the list

[maiden fable]

Isn't that what u want?

[hasty iron]

also you arent closing the file which is bad

[hollow mortar]

lets say the badwrods file have mom word there if someone type i love mom it wont remove it it only work if i say mom

[maiden fable]

Ah

[waxen granite]

like list1 = []
list2 = []?

[hasty iron]

yes, and if value is True append perm to list1, otherwise append to list2

[maiden fable]

if any(word for word in lines if message.content.lower() == word): should work

[hollow mortar]

what happen if i didnt close it it take more storage ? and make the bot more lagy right

[hollow mortar]

where i should but this ?

remove the if msg content.lower right

[hasty iron]

As long as your program is running, if you keep opening files without closing them, the most likely result is that you will run out of file descriptors/handles available for your process, and attempting to open more files will fail eventually

[maiden fable]

Yea

[hollow mortar]

and replace it with that one

[hollow mortar]

okay but if i close it will it still work ?

[hasty iron]

yes?

use the context manager

with open(...) as file:

that will automatically close the file for you

[hollow mortar]

ohhhh okay thanks so i use this one it close it auto

but it wont read it now

Hey @hollow mortar! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[waxen granite]

can u give an example? i am not able to do it

[upbeat otter]

i closed my eyes and didnt see

[hollow mortar]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    f = open("badwords.txt" , "r")
    liness = f.read()
    if any(word for word in liness if message.content.lower() == word):
        await message.delete()
        await message.channel.send("You Cant Say That")
    await bot.process_commands(message)```

[hollow mortar]

haha lmao i restarted it now

[hollow mortar]

look this one doesnt work

[upbeat otter]

message.delete doesnt work and also if u write any message it will be deleted

i tried using txt files to store words too, it wont work

[hollow mortar]

no it work

[upbeat otter]

umm okay 😂

[hollow mortar]

but the only problem with me is my old code it only remove words when you type it single without anything with them

look any try by your self

[upbeat otter]

i see

[hollow mortar]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    f = open("badwords.txt" , "r")
    liness = f.read()
    if message.content.lower() in liness:
        await message.delete()
        await message.channel.send("You Cant Say That")
    await bot.process_commands(message)

this one work but like this

[slate swan]

so basically im making a discord bot that will say random shit like "cheese dick" and i have everything setup but idk what to put here:
await message.channel.send("")

[hollow mortar]

lets say mom word in one of the badwords line if you type youur mom it doesnt get deleted it only delete when type mom

[upbeat otter]

use random module for different words

[upbeat otter]

did u try to print liness

[hasty iron]

i explained pretty clearly, have 2 lists, when iterating through diff check if value is True, if it is append param to the first list and if it is false append param to the second list, after the for loop you're going to add two fields which are the removed and added permissions, lets take the first list being the added and the second list being the removed ones, you're going to do embed.add_field(name="Added Permission(s):", value=", ".join(first_list), inline=False) and embed.add_field(name="Removed Permission(s):", value=", ".join(second_list), inline=False)

[hollow mortar]

it give you the words in badwords.txt

[upbeat otter]

any extra spaces?

[hollow mortar]

line by line

mom
love
hate
fuck

like this

[upbeat otter]

try using message.channe.purge once

also

@hollow mortar split the words to make a list too

[hollow mortar]

i didnt understand anything from you

[upbeat otter]

ok so, first read the file and then split the string to make it into a list

[hollow mortar]

i have the words in the file line by line same as this

[upbeat otter]

then try to use string comprehension

[upbeat otter]

i understood

[hollow mortar]

i cant use it like line by line every word ?

and im not good at lists and that shit

[waxen granite]

        list1 = []
        list2 = []
        if before.permissions != after.permissions:
            diff = set(after.permissions).difference(set(before.permissions))

                await logChannel.send(embed = embed)``` is this correct?

[upbeat otter]

u can, but i am saying that split the string

[hollow mortar]

how ?

[hasty iron]

why are you still adding the fields?

[upbeat otter]

🥲

dm me

[hasty iron]

i said after the for loop add them

[waxen granite]

        list1 = []
        list2 = []
        if before.permissions != after.permissions:
            diff = set(after.permissions).difference(set(before.permissions))
            for perm, value in diff:
                if value == True:
                    list1.append(perm)                    
                else:
                    list2.append(perm)
                embed.add_field(name = "Added Permission(s):", value ='\n'.join(list1), inline =  False)
                embed.add_field(name = "Removed Permission(s):", value ='\n'.join(list2), inline  = False)    
                await logChannel.send(embed = embed)```

[hasty iron]

you are still adding them inside the for-loop

i said after it

[waxen granite]

ok sorry :#

works thanks

but

when i only add perm or only remove perms it doesnt work

[stiff nexus]

i did

    async def on_timeout(self) -> None:
        self.children[0].disabled = True

        self.children[0].label = 'Closed'
        await self.message.edit(view=self)
``` it did not work

[upbeat otter]

why isnt this displaying the image 🥲

embed = discord.Embed(title="Drake Hotline Bling", color=ctx.message.author.color)
embed.set_image(url="attachment://Drake Hotline Bling.jpg")

[waxen granite]

since there is no value for other field @hasty iron

[stiff nexus]

to disable a dropdown

[slate swan]

im trying to make a bot that says either of these things but its saying all of the phrases

i already did set it up so it would be random but its not saying the random words

import os
import random

with open("fade.txt", "r") as file:
    allText = file.read()
    words = list(map(str, allText.split()))

    print(random.choice(words)) 

with open("fade.txt", "r") as file:
    data = file.read()
    words = data.split()

    word_pos = random.randint(0, len(words)-1)
    print("Position:", word_pos)
    print("Word at position:", words[word_pos])

client = discord.Client()



@client.event
async def on_ready():
  print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))



  @client.event


  async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
      return



    if message.content.startswith('hi'):
      await message.channel.send(words)


client.run(os.environ['TOKEN'])```

[maiden fable]

await message.channel.send(", ".join(words))

[slate swan]

its just doing this now

same thing but without the brackets and quotes

[maiden fable]

Yea

[stiff nexus]

    async def on_timeout(self) -> None:
        self.children[0].disabled = True
        self.children[0].label = 'Closed'
        await self.message.edit(view=self)
```its not disabling the dropdown

[maiden fable]

!d random.choice

[unkempt canyon]

random.choice

random.choice(seq)```
Return a random element from the non-empty sequence *seq*. If *seq* is empty, raises [`IndexError`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/exceptions.html#IndexError "IndexError").

[gloomy quest]

Hi

[slate swan]

thats already in the code

[gloomy quest]

How to make command classes

[waxen granite]

where is random.choice(words) like you claim in your code?

[agile goblet]

thatll just print it

[waxen granite]

and what do you want to do?

[agile goblet]

make it a variable or put it in your send method

[waxen granite]

then do it as await ctx.send(random.choice(words))

or word = random.choice(words)

await ctx.send(word)

[stiff nexus]

    async def on_timeout(self) -> None:

if u did that, just await message.channel.send(word)

plus there is an extra ) at the end of your code

[slate swan]

Import ffmpeg

just fix your indentation

[half briar]

@slate swan

I try

But not fixed

[slate swan]

What's the error

Install ffmpeg and import

this should work fine maybe

did u installed?

[half briar]

i tried

[slate swan]

Pip ?

[half briar]

Yes

try this maybe, plus u should learn basic python before attempting to make a bot

nice

dope

[hollow mortar]

hey any idea how to fix this problem and if it can be fixed

i have 2 on_message events

the bot can make the both work only 1 that can work

any idea how to make them both work ?

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

look into listeners

[hollow mortar]

okai thanks alot

[slate swan]

np

[proven elm]

please learn basic python before asking hundreds of simple questions

[steep estuary]

pls tell me i forgot when i am calling a function it is giving some function codes i want to take the prefix which im returning

[proven elm]

I don't understand what you're asking?

[steep estuary]

like i have

load prefix is a func

[proven elm]

if youre trying to use a function then you need () after the name

[jade jolt]

is this in a command?

[proven elm]

it'd be load_prefix()

[steep estuary]

this the func return

i want the return

[half briar]

How to install ffmpeg in phone

[steep estuary]

i learnt db today i saw yt he also didn't put ()

[jade jolt]

is it in a command

[steep estuary]

no

[jade jolt]

then where

[jade jolt]

you can put help above async def

[steep estuary]

yes

[jade jolt]

@bot.command()
""" Help String """
async def c(ctx):
    # lol

[steep estuary]

but i did this belo every command

hmm

[steep estuary]

this?

[quiet coral]

hello guys I know how to send DM with events can someone tell me how to send it with commands?

[steep estuary]

ctx.author.send()

[steep estuary]

^

[quiet coral]

thnnk you

[steep estuary]

someone help me

load_prefix is a function

and it is showing this

[slate swan]

u need to call it

[steep estuary]

how to show what the function is returning?

[slate swan]

load_prefix()

[steep estuary]

what this will do a yt person did this so i also did

[slate swan]

this will call the function

[steep estuary]

hmm ok

let me try

[pliant gulch]

Confused to as how you will even pass the message parameter for your function

As where it is has no access to one

[steep estuary]

?

[steep estuary]

ii used ()

[pliant gulch]

Your function clearly shows two parameters

[steep estuary]

but now i can pass parameters

[pliant gulch]

Bot and message

[steep estuary]

yes and i cannot pass them

[pliant gulch]

Where do you get message here???

That's what I'm saying lol

[steep estuary]

so what should i do :/

i cannot convert this ??

<function load_prefix at that integer>

[high flame]

load_prefix(<discord.Message>)

[steep estuary]

to what the function is returning

[steep estuary]

?

[high flame]

load_prefix(ctx.message) for example

it takes a message argument

[pliant gulch]

Your thinking about this wrong, if you think about it the help command gets fired with the prefix used

There you would set the prefix message

[high flame]

oh wait, a Bot arg as well

[steep estuary]

but it is not in any command

[steep estuary]

?

[high flame]

bot.command_prefix(message)

[steep estuary]

is there any way to get a prefix of bot in different servers?

[high flame]

yes that's what im saying

[orchid talon]

On_member_join command is not working why ?

[steep estuary]

:/

[high flame]

can u show the whole code?

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[orchid talon]

Burra

[slate swan]

did u enable them?

[steep estuary]

just i started database today

[high flame]

whole code-

[orchid talon]

Hmm

[steep estuary]

so i trying to make custom prefix

[steep estuary]

k

this is outside a command

[orchid talon]

Is it for tronex

[slate swan]

why not send it in text instead of screenshot

[steep estuary]

and this

[high flame]

you must have a discord.Message

[steep estuary]

to target some lines too :/

[steep estuary]

where?

[high flame]

you better do that inside the command so you'd use ctx.message

[steep estuary]

hmm

what if i get the guild id in on_ready

it will give guild id?

of each servers?

[orchid talon]

:/

[slate swan]

um seems like it's your function for command_prefix
It can not be asynchronous.

[steep estuary]

like

guild_ids = {}
@bot.event
async def on_ready()
  guild_ids[message.guild.id] = "prefix" 
```??

[steep estuary]

yes

[high flame]

message isn't defined

[steep estuary]

hmm

[orchid talon]

How many server it is now running

[high flame]

you can cache prefix in json btw

[steep estuary]

pls we will talk later

[orchid talon]

K

[high flame]

bot.cached_prefixes[guild.id] = "prefix"

in the get_prefix

if the server isn't cached

[steep estuary]

what is this?

[high flame]

cached_prefixes is a dict you'll make

[steep estuary]

lol

oo

[high flame]

are you okay

[steep estuary]

everything is fine in prefix

but i have a command

[slate swan]

hi

[steep estuary]

this much is only related with it :/

[high flame]

...

[steep estuary]

i heard some where that we can change <function load_prefix at 0x0000029B7F9DE3A0>

[slate swan]

so i have a discord music bot which i am hosting at heroku but in the logs it says "no such file directory" the name of the file is correct

[steep estuary]

can we ?

[slate swan]

do I need to upload the mp3 file in github?

its not a "simple music bot"

[slate swan]

Just drag and drop it

yes

[steep estuary]

aaaaaaaaaaaaa

[slate swan]

oh okay

[neon cradle]

how do you send a file through a discord reply from button click

[steep estuary]

:/

[neon cradle]

TypeError: reply() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file'
can I really not send a file through replies

[slate swan]

Do i need to make a sep folder with song files so that the repo be cleaned?

[neon cradle]

@buttons.click
async def first_but(ctx):
    A = Scholarship()
    A.get_site_info(A.ordered_scholarship_set_3x5[2][2])
    for _ in range(3):
        await ctx.reply(file=discord.File(f"{_ + 1}.png"))

[slate swan]

what library is that?

[neon cradle]

@bot.command(name='asd')
async def name(ctx) -> None:
    await buttons.send(
        content="something here", channel = ctx.channel.id, components = [
            ActionRow([
                Button(
                    style = ButtonType().Primary,
                    label = "asdasdasd",
                    custom_id = "first_but",
                    emoji = {"name": "mage",
                             "id": "625891304081063986"
                        }
                ),

[slate swan]

will it work? because in pycharm i did the same by making a sep sound folder but the it showed no such file or directory

[slate swan]

@neon cradle

I put the folder in the project folder

along with ffmpeg.exe files and the other venv

oh like
C:/desktop/bot/sounds

[jade jolt]

show the cwd listing

[slate swan]

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\sauceyy

[slate swan]

cwd listing? sorry i dont know about that

[jade jolt]

current working directory

[slate swan]

there are the codes

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx: commands.Context):
    voice_channel: discord.VoiceChannel = ctx.author.voice.channel
    print(voice_channel.name)
    vc = await voice_channel.connect()
    vc.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio("cumming.mp3"))
    while vc.is_playing():
      time.sleep(.1)
    await vc.disconnect()
    await ctx.send('blah')

oh

so i put it in the mid of the codes?

yes

alr

[steep estuary]

pls help i just want a value on calling a function :/

[slate swan]

thank you so much

[hasty iron]

that will block the whole bot

time.sleep is blocking

use asyncio.sleep

or you could use a Future, and set_result in the after argument

[brazen seal]

someone can help me ?

[steep estuary]

why it is giving me <Record prefix='!'>
in postgres

[hasty iron]

do current_prefix['prefix']

and why are you using globals?

[steep estuary]

cuz it is outside the function too

[hasty iron]

what?

why are global-ing server_prefix

[steep estuary]

i just want to get the servers prefix

[hasty iron]

you dont need global when something is outside your function

??? what??

you use fetchrow or whatever for that, not globals

[slate swan]

ping = await collection.find_one({'user_id': str(), 'reaction': str()}) Lets say thats a certain line to check if its in the db I need to able to check for the user_id in the message.content and then get the reaction which is stored in the same document
Considering this is a example of a document
Image
So I need to able to have something in user_id: str(xyz) and something in reaction: str(xyz)

[steep estuary]

i have a command which show help of commands

[orchid talon]

Your problem still not solve

[steep estuary]

no :/

[orchid talon]

Hmm

[hasty iron]

ctx.prefix exists

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.prefix

The prefix that was used to invoke the command.

[steep estuary]

await ctx.send(ctx.prefix) ??

[hasty iron]

what..

[steep estuary]

how to use that?

[hasty iron]

im talking about that mod help string or whatever

mute*

[steep estuary]

let me explain u properlly :/

i have this function

[hasty iron]

ok so why are you doing f'{load_prefix}...'

[steep estuary]

and this variables below every commands

[hasty iron]

that wont send the prefix

it will send the repr of the function

thats why i said to use ctx.prefix

since you wont have to call anything

[high flame]

better discord 👀

[magic stump]

no

no 🙂

Why bot send offline if i have status online? py @bot.command() async def test(ctx): await ctx.send(ctx.author.status)

[high flame]

LMAO

[fallow mauve]

how do i get the bot to test whether or not someone has reacted to it's message?

[magic stump]

shiiii

[magic stump]

reaction?

[hasty iron]

Message.reactions?

[fallow mauve]

ok

so if i say

[spring flax]

intents

[fallow mauve]

with this bot if you use a command it shows a reaction below its message, and if you click it it deletes the message

how does that work?

[fallow mauve]

this bot as in @unkempt canyon

[slate swan]

hey so ik i am asking this after 20 mins

but the file directory is it has to be the one in pc or github?

[hasty iron]

why does it matter

what does github effect

[slate swan]

i am making a discord music bot

[hasty iron]

and what does github have to do with that?

[barren bluff]

Hi, can I ask how do I make the code so that my discord bot doesn't delete 14-day-old messages?

[slate swan]

let me explain the full issue pls

i have almost like 30 sound files i want them to be organized thats why i put the sound files in a folder named sounds so according to zimblox he said to put r'file directory' so i have to put the directory of the project folder of my pc or github?

because when i put the directory of github bot joins and leave

[hasty iron]

i dont get why are you putting github into your sentences

what does github do to you?

[slate swan]

i have to use github to host my discord bot

have you use heroku? or heard about it

[hasty iron]

i have

[slate swan]

yes

[hasty iron]

and its bad for discord bots

[slate swan]

so you have to connect github with heroku

[slate swan]

my bot doesnt have much a LOT commands so its ok for me

and i will see if any problems arise in future

[hasty iron]

dont use it

[slate swan]

why?

[hasty iron]

• Bots are not what the platform is designed for. Heroku is designed to provide web servers (like Django, Flask, etc). This is why they give you a domain name and open a port on their local emulator.

• Heroku's environment is heavily containerized, making it significantly underpowered for a standard use case.

• Heroku's environment is volatile. In order to handle the insane amount of users trying to use it for their own applications, Heroku will dispose your environment every time your application dies unless you pay.

• Heroku has minimal system dependency control. If any of your Python requirements need C bindings (such as PyNaCl binding to libsodium, or lxml binding to libxml), they are unlikely to function properly, if at all, in a native environment. As such, you often need to resort to adding third-party buildpacks to facilitate otherwise normal CPython extension functionality. (This is the reason why voice doesn't work natively on heroku.)

• Heroku only offers a limited amount of time on their free programme for your applications. If you exceed this limit, which you probably will, they'll shut down your application until your free credit resets.

Return `True` if the *object* argument is an instance of the *classinfo* argument, or of a (direct, indirect, or [virtual](https://docs.python.org/3.10/glossary.html#term-abstract-base-class)) subclass thereof. If *object* is not an object of the given type, the function always returns `False`. If *classinfo* is a tuple of type objects (or recursively, other such tuples) or a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/stdtypes.html#types-union) of multiple types, return `True` if *object* is an instance of any of the types. If *classinfo* is not a type or tuple of types and such tuples, a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") exception is raised.

Changed in version 3.10: *classinfo* can be a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/stdtypes.html#types-union).

or you could do if type(obj) is class:

[flat solstice]

so it's py if isinstance(search, discord.Message):i think

[hasty iron]

yes

[barren bluff]

what is better hosting?

[hasty iron]

and also this if search in message.embeds[0].description, search is a Message object and description is a string, ofc this wouldnt work

[flat solstice]

well I have the if statement checking if the input is a union of discord.Message or str, does this mean it needs to be Union[str, discord.Message] bc that's not working, also the commands accepting msg links but not msg ID's, the link/ID i'm giving it is for a message not in the ctx channel

Hi guys, I have a problem, I want that when a command is invoked the bot sends in a special channel which command the user used.
I did the command, except that with client get channel does not someone know how to help me?

here the code: @ client.command () async def slowmode (ctx, seconds: int): await ctx.channel.edit (slowmode_delay = seconds) await ctx.send (f "I have set the slowmode in this channel for {seconds} seconds!") await ctx.send (f "Command log <@ {ctx.author.mention}> used the slowmode command in <# {ctx.channel.id}> ") channel = client.get_channel (mychannel)

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send(ctx.author.status)``` Bot send offline why? 
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="g!", help_command = None,  intents=intents)

[high flame]

because

you don't have presence intents

[lavish zephyr]

does anyone knows where i can learn discord py with some examples?

[high flame]

do intents = discord.Intents.all() to enable them all

[high flame]

the docs

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html

[lavish zephyr]

i'm reading it but i cant understands exactly what it is

for example, when_mentioned()

[high flame]

you'd need python knowledge to understand it

[lavish zephyr]

i know its when_mentioned(bot, msg)

but dont know how to make it respond

[river kindle]

need some help

[high flame]

you don't have to do that after each command

there's on_command(ctx) event

and on_command_completion if no errors in the command

[high flame]

that's what you're looking for

[river kindle]

I want that when a user uses a command it causes a log in a specific channel of what he did, but as already said client get channel does not go

[high flame]

[high flame]

it looks like you're doing that after each command in here

[river kindle]

what's the problem

[dry copper]

I am making a chat bot and a server utility bot
I wanna know how to keep it online 24×7

[fallow mauve]

@bot.command('help')
async def help(ctx=None, message=None):
  embed = discord.Embed(
        title='Help Menu:',
        description=('This is the help menu, where you can see the list of commands the bot can use.'), colour=0x1fc2ff)
  embed.add_field(name="__**Fun Commands:**__", value="** **", inline=False)
  embed.add_field(name=";diceroll", value="** **", inline=True)
  embed.add_field(name=";ping", value="** **", inline=True)
  embed.add_field(name=";coinflip", value="** **", inline=True)
  embed.add_field(name=";8ball [question]", value="** **", inline=True)
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

why wont this command work?

[high flame]

you could just do something like this and it'll work for all commands ```py
@bot.event
async def on_command_completion(ctx):
print("{} used {}".format(ctx.author, ctx.command.name))

[river kindle]

[fallow mauve]

leave message command, whats that?

[river kindle]

it works, but I want the log to be sent in a dedicated channel not in the terminal.

[high flame]

error?

[fallow mauve]

no error, it just wont work

[high flame]

just get the channel and send the message there

[fallow mauve]

no error pops up when i run the command, no red line under the code, nothing

[river kindle]

i tried with get channel client but it doesn't work

[fallow mauve]

i dont know how to do taht

*that

[high flame]

how it doesn't work

error?

[river kindle]

if I enter the channel, and I try to use a command in another channel the bot sends. the message in the channel in which I ran the command and not in the one requested by me

[dim cedar]

means if someone is inactive type cmd (prefix+person+ pop up message)
thn the next time the mentioned person sends a text the pop up message will be sent from the bot

[high flame]

ah i got it, show the code you did

[fallow mauve]

i understand now and idk how that works

[high flame]

maybe you used ctx.send instead of TextChannel.send

[river kindle]

async def on_command_completion(ctx):
  await ctx.send("{} used {}".format(ctx.author, ctx.command.name))
  client.get_channel(mychannel)
