[warm flame]

my code is quite clean

except the jobs foldr

[manic wing]

its impossible to have messy code with 60 files x.x

[slate swan]

Why not

[manic wing]

every single function in a new folder x.x

[slate swan]

^

[warm flame]

i dont want to have a code that is 4000 lines long

[slate swan]

It would be more organized ngl

[warm flame]

this is my progress so far

work command simular to dankmemer

yes just put the emoji in the string

[slate swan]

Or if each job class really has that much then make the folder a package and each file has an __all__ = ('you_class_name_here',) and then an init.py file where u have from . import *

[warm flame]

dont put :thumbsup

[slate swan]

And name the package (folder name) jobs

[warm flame]

just do Win + ; in ur code

without having to find the names of emojis

[slate swan]

Then when u wanna access any of the classes you'd just do jobs.class

[warm flame]

i dont think that works in embeds

[slate swan]

It does, just not in titles or footers

[warm flame]

yea dont do it in footers

i was stuck on that for liek 15 mintues

[slate swan]

Also i would defo put all of those in 1 file ngl

[warm flame]

as a guy who used unity before, i dont do that

[slate swan]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[warm flame]

i find cogs much more effective

and clean

than having my main.py have 9999 lines of code

the only way to earn money in my bot is to beg, and ive been trying to change it for 2 days

[manic wing]

BRO

[manic wing]

why the fuck did you split THESE into different files

[unkempt hawk]

I've got a notification bot for Slack that I'm gonna convert to a Discord bot, how can I just send a message to a specific channel without having to use events etc.? In slack_sdk it goes like:

WebClient(token=SLACK_TOKEN).chat_postMessage(channel=f"#{channel}", text=message)

What is the equivalent in discord?

[manic wing]

is your code open source

[warm flame]

theyre the same file

the earn commands are in earn.py balance commands are in balance.py and lose commands are in lose.py

and im glad i did that in the beginning

[manic wing]

pyscho

ocd go brr

[warm flame]

i like short code

my main.py is 27 lines long

[manic wing]

mine is 11 or smthing

get fucked

[warm flame]

what does ur bot do tho

[manic wing]

everything

180 commands

[warm flame]

mine was 19 😎

[manic wing]

11

11 > 19

have you subclassed bot

[warm flame]

what is that

i got into discord.py 2 weeks ago

[warm flame]

4 classes

so far

[manic wing]

what

[warm flame]

but that number will go above 50 very soon

[manic wing]

I said did you suclass bot

[warm flame]

what is that mean

[hasty iron]

making a new class that inherits from Bot

[warm flame]

i think yes

[manic wing]

did you do class MyBot(commands.Bot)

[warm flame]

no

i have cogs

thats the only classes i have

[slate swan]

discord.py alternatives?

[hasty iron]

you have cogs and you dont know what subclassing is?

[warm flame]

github moment

[hasty iron]

if you’re looking for trash there is: pycord, disnake and more

[warm flame]

i clearly didnt copy paste it fromt eh internet

[hasty iron]

??

[slate swan]

im not looking for trash

what about nextcord

[hasty iron]

then use another lib

[warm flame]

i was wondering how to make an event handler like the one on discord.js

[hasty iron]

also what’s wrong with using discord.py?

[warm flame]

and i found a script that is perfect

[hasty iron]

receiving from the gateway?

[warm flame]

yeaa

[hasty iron]

that’s simple

[slate swan]

discord removing GUILD_MESSAGES intent...

[pliant gulch]

Is your bot verified??

[hasty iron]

ok so what

it wont affect non-verified bots

[slate swan]

the bot wont receive guild messages

oh

[reef shell]

Not removing iirc

[slate swan]

mine's 107 😔

[hasty iron]

man did you actually read what they said about that intent

[pliant gulch]

People over reacting at the finest

[warm flame]

discord.py is much more simpler than discord.js

[manic wing]

I cant tell if blanket copied any or vice versa

[slate swan]

only if i didnt want to make a verified bot

[warm flame]

but discord.js has more tutorials and guides

[slate swan]

Ok and?

[hasty iron]

copied what?

[manic wing]

pfp

[slate swan]

you wont need tutorials if you go thru the docs

[kindred epoch]

lmao, you do realize that getting your bot verified is the hardest part

[hasty iron]

no

[warm flame]

use discord.js if want GUILD_MESSAGES

[hasty iron]

if you dont have a legit reason to have that intent, they wont give it to you

[warm flame]

or other intents

[hasty iron]

btw commands isnt a valid reason

[slate swan]

receiving messages after the command

[warm flame]

isnt there a special method for that

[slate swan]

wdym , its not just for python
the intents is being privelaged for all bots , not library specific

[hasty iron]

for all verified bots*

[kindred epoch]

now it just seems that your just playing ariound @warm flame

[slate swan]

yep

[warm flame]

last time i had to add intents to my discord.js project

[slate swan]

js user detected

[warm flame]

??

want me to share my discord.py code to prove?

[hasty iron]

no

[slate swan]

u said discord.js project

[warm flame]

yea because that was the first language i used for discord bots

[slate swan]

wth

[warm flame]

Dropdowns

[hasty iron]

you do realize 2.0 has buttons and stuff right?

[warm flame]

me?

[hasty iron]

no

[slate swan]

iirc , discord.js 14 forces users to add Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS intents

[leaden anvil]

who are you talking to?

[slate swan]

so its a must

[hasty iron]

you

[warm flame]

thats why i quit using it

[slate swan]

lol

[slate swan]

Really?

thats just a single intent

[slate swan]

yes sir ,

Damn, good thing I don't use d.js

read the line below

[leaden anvil]

ok

[leaden anvil]

yeah I know and ?

[hasty iron]

you should use it

[warm flame]

my dumb brain was trying to figure out how to add it for like 2 hours until i read the docs

[slate swan]

Why using a third party library when it's built-in 2.0?

[slate swan]

lol

[hasty iron]

you probably didn’t know the language

it wouldn’t take somebody with knowledge 2 hours to do something that simple

[warm flame]

well wht do u expect?

[slate swan]

^

[leaden anvil]

Can you provide the documentation I have seen it somewhere but I am unable to find it

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master

[hasty iron]

the library also expects you to know your stuff before using it

[warm flame]

who tf learns a language then starts coding? i start coding then leaarn the language

[slate swan]

Then you might need to reconsider how to learn

[warm flame]

i never repeat mistakes now

[leaden anvil]

thx

[hasty iron]

what… everybody?

[slate swan]

i run my bot before coding it.

I always learn the language before and make smaller projects before doing something like a bot

[hasty iron]

literally everyone with a brain does that

if you think about it for 2 seconds

[pliant gulch]

That's like fighting the end game boss without playing the tutorial first

[warm flame]

so ur telling me people read the documentation without downloading the software and trying to figure out how to print('hello world')?

[slate swan]

actually you can learn things while coding a bot , but must be aware about the basics of the language itself

People who don't learn the language before are the ones who come here and complain their code is not working but after looking at it it's the most basic error ever seen

[hasty iron]

"oh ill just make a bot with assembly and learn it in the process, yeah that seems logical"

[warm flame]

ofc i do that

i watch a 10 minute yt tutorial

but the rest, on my own

[hasty iron]

what are you even talking about

[slate swan]

"who tf learns a language then starts coding? i start coding then leaarn the language" , your words , sir.

[warm flame]

i meant like mastering the language

[slate swan]

mhm

[hasty iron]

those are two different meanings

[warm flame]

english is my 2nd language dont judge me

[slate swan]

Your profile picture basically expresses my current reaction

[hasty iron]

english is my third

english being bad isn’t an excuse

[slate swan]

same for me.

[warm flame]

i studied russian and im used to its grammar so dont be surprised if i make some grammatical errors

[hasty iron]

ok

[slate swan]

Grammar errors have nothing to do with words choice but ok

[warm flame]

studying and mastering are pretty much identical in russian

[slate swan]

thats a vocabulary problem tho

^

[warm flame]

bro why are we talking abt my english rn?

[slate swan]

no sir

[reef shell]

[slate swan]

^^

[slate swan]

i've been searching for this emoji all time long

[hasty iron]

if you read the conversation, you would understand

[reef shell]

oh no

[warm flame]

aight imma be honest here, no questions. I watch a 10 - 15 minute tutorial on a language before writing my first project, but thats as far as i go in terms of watching yt tutorials for the first 3 weeks

[slate swan]

lets stop it here , before it goes off topic.

[hasty iron]

10 minutes of learning a language before starting a project

[slate swan]

That's some big brain move

[hasty iron]

are you some kind of any% speedrunner

[warm flame]

yes

figure the rest out by myself

[hasty iron]

sounds like hell to me

if you do that will lower level languages, you’ll regret living

[warm flame]

i was trying to figure out how random.shuffle worked for like 20 minutes the other day

[hasty iron]

oh man

[slate swan]

You won't go far using that technique keep doing it and one day you'll realize it would've been worth to learn it a lot more than 15 minutes

[hasty iron]

you definitely should not try something like C or C++

[pliant gulch]

Purposely making yourself illiterate

[slate swan]

why

[warm flame]

bro thats how i learned scratch and i never managed to get that habit off so its just stuck

[hasty iron]

scratch

seriously man

[warm flame]

that was 4 years ago

aight we getting off topic

[reef shell]

my expression rn is exactly like his pfp

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warm flame]

what else u expect 4th grade my to do? learn c++?

[hasty iron]

no

i meant like using learning techniques that you used for scratch isnt going to help at all

[warm flame]

ik, but it became a habit now

[hasty iron]

a bad habit

[warm flame]

ik

i just cant sit reading the documentation for like 2 hours

[hasty iron]

you’ll try a lower level language and you’ll just give up instantly because you only watched a 10 minute vid

[warm flame]

personally i dont learn much languages

because i like to master one and be pro at it

[slate swan]

and what is that?

[reef shell]

html could be a good choice

In that case

[warm flame]

oh boy not html

[hasty iron]

you cant master something just by looking at a 10 minute vid about it

[warm flame]

well i did that with c# and unity

but i still need improvements with some areas

[hasty iron]

how was it

[slate swan]

if it comes to videos , its not important that all they teach you is correct

[warm flame]

brackeys.

[haughty plover]

i am making a ticket system, and have the opening all down, but now i want to be able to close a ticket when the role is removed. here is my code.

@bot.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
    if payload.channel_id == 892175931664367616:
        if payload.emoji.name == "🆘":
            guild_id = payload.guild_id
            guild = discord.utils.get(bot.guilds, id=739869820136194079)
            role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=892178985587458049)
            member = discord.utils.get(guild.members, id=payload.user_id)
            if member is not None:
                if role is not None:
                    await member.add_roles(role)


@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    after_roles = after.roles
    before_roles = before.roles
    for role in after_roles:
        if role.id == 892178985587458049:
            guild = discord.utils.get(bot.guilds, id=739869820136194079)
            ticket_name = discord.utils.get(guild.channels, name=f"{after.name}—ticket")
            if ticket_name is None:
                channel = await guild.create_text_channel(name=f"{after.name}—ticket", category=bot.get_channel(870126606407041034))
            else:
                pass

[warm flame]

joining game jams, testing out my skills, trying to make a multiplayer without knowing a thing abt it was very fun

but ofc i did have to watch some yt tutorials after, but not in the start where i just test out some stuff

aight imma leave before this gets to personal

[slate swan]

do you get any errors?

[haughty plover]

no, i did try to get it to delete when i removed role but there was no errors, and it didnt work

[slate swan]

well , you code does not seem to have any part which deletes a channel

[cinder horizon]

welp where did i go wrong? coz wen i give "None"...it just continues and gives an error saying thumburl can have only "http: or https:"

[pliant gulch]

Your checking the lowercase of thumburl.content to a string which has an uppercase

[manic wing]

what he means is do == 'none'

[cinder horizon]

oki

aight that worked

thenks

[polar shell]

How would I go about installing pip for macOS?

[slate swan]

Fuck I love Python

[manic wing]

probably #python-discussion

[manic wing]

#ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

[polar shell]

Oop. Forgot I was in this channel.

[slate nymph]

well, how do i make a prefix command which will set the default bot prefix to arg provided after prefix

[slate swan]

redefine the client

[manic wing]

no do not do this x.x

do not redefine it whatsoever

[slate nymph]

then what?

[manic wing]

use something called get_prefix and a database

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64513680/discord-py-prefix-command

its like

[slate nymph]

thanks

[manic wing]

def get_prefix(ctx, message):
  return ['!']

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = get_prefix```

[slate nymph]

tho i dont have any idea what database is

[leaden anvil]

I want to debug a statement py await ctx.channel.send(embed=report,components=Select(placeholder = 'SelectMenu',options = [SelectOption(label="Bugs", value="value1"),SelectOption(label="Commands", value="value2"),SelectOption(label="Suggestions", value="value3"),SelectOption(label = "Other", value = "value4")])[[Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label="Discard", custom_id="n"), Button(style=ButtonStyle.green, label="Send", custom_id="y")]]) it gives me the error: Exception has occurred: TypeError 'Select' object is not subscriptable

[slate nymph]

is it like mysql?

[manic wing]

yes

[manic wing]

1. you can do ctx.send 2) you did Select()[]

[hasty iron]

why not just comman_prefix=['!']

also get_prefix takes bot as first argument and message as second

it takes no ctx

[manic wing]

I was giving an example of how one would link it to a function

and then they can elaborate on it

[hasty iron]

ok

[manic wing]

seeing as they want to change prefix

and someone said redefine client x.x

[leaden anvil]

elaborate

[hasty iron]

your code is so uh

[half briar]

@manic wing hi bro can you help me

[hasty iron]

not well arranged

we literally cant see anything

[manic wing]

no

im joking, say the code

[half briar]

😩

Thanks

[manic wing]

I mean as blanket said, the code is dodgy, but somewhere and somehow you did Select(...)[], hence the error

[half briar]

 sc = FFmpegPCMAudio("audio.mp3")
    voi = vc.play(sc)```

Why bot not play

Audio

[manic wing]

errors?

[half briar]

mport discord
import asyncio
from gtts import gTTS
from discord import FFmpegPCMAudio
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="+")
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
	print(bot.user)
	
	
@bot.command()
async def tts(ctx,*, text:str):
    global gTTS
    language = "es-us"
    user = ctx.author
    speech = gTTS(text=text,lang=language,slow=False)
    speech.save("audio.mp3")

    print(vc)
    sc = FFmpegPCMAudio("audio.mp3")
    voi = vc.play(sc)
    voi.start()``` this is full code

[manic wing]

Im not great with voiceclients

[leaden anvil]

I didn't thats why I am confused

[manic wing]

can't you just do await channel.send('hi', tts=True) or whatever the kwarg is?

[hasty iron]

thats not the same thing

[manic wing]

@manic wing wait i send error

[hasty iron]

the tts for send is just annoying

[manic wing]

but you did, and the error says you did

[hasty iron]

errors?

oh install ffmpeg

(not via pip)

[half briar]

I installed but

[hasty iron]

you didnt

[pliant gulch]

Add it to path

[half briar]

Not work

I install from termux

[hasty iron]

how did you install it

[leaden anvil]

it says line 54 which is this piece of code: py await ctx.channel.send(embed=report,components=Select(placeholder = 'SelectMenu',options = [SelectOption(label="Bugs", value="value1"),SelectOption(label="Commands", value="value2"),SelectOption(label="Suggestions", value="value3"),SelectOption(label = "Other", value = "value4")])[[Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label="Discard", custom_id="n"), Button(style=ButtonStyle.green, label="Send", custom_id="y")]])

[hasty iron]

man can you clean up your code

we cant see anything

[half briar]

@hasty iron ?

[hasty iron]

what

[leaden anvil]

ok

[half briar]

I installed from termux but not work

[manic wing]

I can clearly see you did )]) before the [[Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label="Discard" lol

[manic wing]

[pliant gulch]

Man 3rd party components impl are so bad lmao

Look how bulky that is

Just use v2.0

[half briar]

No one can help me 😫 😩

[manic wing]

we told you to install ffmpeg ....

[half briar]

I installed

[manic wing]

I mean its pretty easy to make it look nice, you just press enter

[manic wing]

clearly not well enough

add it to path

[half briar]

How

[hasty iron]

are you using a phone

[half briar]

Yes

[hasty iron]

guessed so

[lilac galleon]

hi i need help

anyone free

[manic wing]

with what

[slate nymph]

which is the best database recommended by most devs for discord bots?

[hasty iron]

postgesql

[slate nymph]

okay and?

[lilac galleon]

a question

or send it here

[manic wing]

bro just ask here

[manic wing]

database -> sqlite/mongodb | module -> aiosqlite/mongodb (its possible to make mongodb asynchronous but its harder)

[hasty iron]

#❓｜how-to-get-help #python-discussion not dpy related

[manic wing]

my man

[hasty iron]

sqlite will be slow and inefficient for larger bots

[lilac galleon]

sorry

[hasty iron]

it only allows a single operation per time

[slate nymph]

oh..

[hasty iron]

mongodb has an async driver but its shit

[slate nymph]

i have no idea how they work

is there a module for each database?

[hasty iron]

try this one https://www.postgresql.org/

that one has asyncpg

!pypi asyncpg

[unkempt canyon]

asyncpg v0.24.0

An asyncio PostgreSQL driver

[slate nymph]

ok but like is it a module?

[hasty iron]

asyncpg is a module

[slate nymph]

ok thanks

and that can help me store user data

[pliant gulch]

Do keep in mind you actually need to setup the postgres database

[slate nymph]

i m using replit for that

[pliant gulch]

I doubt replit can setup a postgres database lmao

[slate nymph]

oof

[pliant gulch]

You also need knowledge in SQL in order to make queries to the database

[hasty iron]

then stop using replit

[slate nymph]

what is the ide used by devs?

[hasty iron]

use anything you like

[pliant gulch]

I personally use neovim a lot

[slate nymph]

cant use offline ides like vscode

[pliant gulch]

Your mixing two things up here

[hasty iron]

why

[pliant gulch]

IDEs are NOT vps's

[hasty iron]

ill use it when i learn how to type

[pliant gulch]

Code on IDE -> send to VPS -> VPS hosts the code

[slate nymph]

because i want my bot to run 24 hrs and vscode cant help in that

[pliant gulch]

repl.it is just an IDE on a server as its meant for a website/webserver

[hasty iron]

then get a vps

[slate nymph]

whats vps

[hasty iron]

virtual private server

google it

[pliant gulch]

You really only need to know how to insert, visual and ig shortcuts such as A dd etc

then adding your own stuff

[hasty iron]

i clicked A and now i can type

progress

[slate nymph]

i have no idea what you guys are talking about... i m a complete noobie

[pliant gulch]

Cap A goes to the end of a line and goes into insert mode, and lowercase a goes into insert mode where your cursor is

[hasty iron]

too complicated, ill just stick to vsc

[pliant gulch]

😔 Just read the docs

Do :help inside of nvim

[slate nymph]

how in the world you keep ur bot alive 24 hrs using vsc?

[pliant gulch]

[slate phoenix]

A VPS is a server, and IDE is a code editor you can’t use an IDE to run your bot 24/7 without keeping your pc on 24/7

[slate nymph]

and how do i create a vps

You buy

[slate phoenix]

You buy one

[reef shell]

Not create

[slate nymph]

oh...

[reef shell]

[manic wing]

:(

[slate phoenix]

AWS and GCS have free trials you can try it there

[slate nymph]

aww thanks

[hasty iron]

but it requires a credit card

[slate nymph]

well, i do have a credit card

[slate phoenix]

Then it won’t charge you till your trials up

[slate nymph]

but imma stick to replit since i m not developing aprofessional bot

[slate phoenix]

iirc GCS has a 3 month trial

[slate nymph]

just wanted to know how python works. making a discord bot can help ya get better at python

[hasty iron]

if thats so, you dont even need hosting

[slate nymph]

exactly

there are already like thousands of bots in discord which perform different functions.

[valid niche]

that's like so not true

it's exactly the opposite

[slate nymph]

it is indeed

[valid niche]

discord bots have a VERY specific style of writing, and require quite a lot of knowledge to get in to

it will literally kick you until you are down and keep kicking you if you don't already have most knowledge

it is FAR from a learning project

[slate swan]

^

[slate nymph]

well

[slate swan]

learning projects are smth like making a GUI interface, tic-tac-toe, rock-paper-scissors, story-like game where depending on what u choose u have a different outcome, etc

[undone lodge]

UPTIME ROBO

[eager gull]

Can somebody tell me what's wrong with this

[slate swan]

and only when u have a certain amount of knowledge of python discord bots can finally become a learning project

[valid niche]

also due to the fact that the writing style is so specific it will not learn you anything valuable outside of discord bots really

[slate swan]

no ctx

[slate swan]

I would disagree. I learnt the basics of Python back in around 2017 and started coding bots in 2018, knowing nothing but the basics (functions, variables, syntax, etc). I'd say it has taught me a lot, and if I could do it again I definitely would

(member, ctx): should be (member):

[slate nymph]

oh...

[undone lodge]

everything looks fine 😕

[eager gull]

Thanks

[slate swan]

❌

[slate nymph]

so where should i start from?

[slate swan]

basic projects

!projects

[unkempt canyon]

Kindling Projects

The Kindling projects page on Ned Batchelder's website contains a list of projects and ideas programmers can tackle to build their skills and knowledge.

[undone lodge]

lemme get my spectacles

[valid niche]

message is undefined

[slate nymph]

okay thanks

[undone lodge]

[slate swan]

that too

[undone lodge]

[valid niche]

you're trying to send a message to a channel of a message that doesn't exist because you never told it what message

[slate swan]

also ctx.author.colour won't work because you don't just magically have a role colour when u join

[undone lodge]

where is the memes channel tho

[slate swan]

and as i said earlier, no ctx in on_member_join events

[eager gull]

so what do I do to fix it

[valid niche]

well if you want to send a message to a channel you have to define a channel, which you did by doing message.channel, but message isn't defined. You never told it what message to use

your code does as instructed. It doesn't have telekinesis powers and knows exactly what you want it to do by reading your mind

so you have to give it VERY exact instructions

[eager gull]

Thanks for the help I think I understand now

[dim cedar]

how can i add someone in a discord server without invite with my bot

[dapper cobalt]

What?

[dim cedar]

hmm

[lament mesa]

You can't, they need to accept the invite

[dim cedar]

u can do it with bots right

[final iron]

You can't

[dim cedar]

yes u can

authorization

[slate swan]

only with bots

[dim cedar]

hmm

[lament mesa]

[dim cedar]

but how

[slate swan]

https://discordapi.com/permissions.html#8589934591

FileNotFoundError: JSON file wasn't found help

[dapper cobalt]

Let me tell you something. A Discord bot is not a magician. It cannot do something that a Discord user cannot do. E.g. You cannot ban someone without ban members permissions, same with bots. You cannot send messages without permissions, same with bots. You cannot DM a user who has their DMs off or you don't share a server with them, same with bots.

[dim cedar]

no u can

i fell for one once

[dapper cobalt]

Do it, then.

[dim cedar]

somthing called mee6 verification bot

[dapper cobalt]

Do you mean the "join a server for you" thing?

[dim cedar]

umm "make me join a server"

[hasty iron]

why though

oh you can do that through oauth2 iirc

[dim cedar]

it was one of the authorization permissions

[dapper cobalt]

You mean scopes?

[hasty iron]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2

[dapper cobalt]

That?

[hasty iron]

guilds.join scope

[dim cedar]

yes

[hasty iron]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#add-guild-member

[ebon adder]

no idea why this doesn't work ```py
@bot.event
async def on_user_update(before,after):
print("Start")
print("Before =" + str(before.display_avatar.url))
print("After =" + str(after.display_avatar.url))

if after.id == 247478934684303360 and after.display_avatar.url != before.display_avatar.url and after.display_avatar.url != None:
    print("if")
    mbed = nextcord.Embed(
        title = f"👀 {after.name} Has Changed His Pfp Again 👀",
        description = "",
        color = 0x9900FF
    )
    print("mbed")
    mbed.set_image(url = after.avatar.url)
    mbed.set_footer(text = f"[Old Pfp]({before.avatar.url})")
    print("mbed stff")
    channel = await bot.fetch_channel(853613968534929441)
    print("channel")
    await channel.send(embed=mbed)

[slate swan]

error?

[dim cedar]

with that i can make some one join in my server if he authorizes it right?

[ebon adder]

nope

[hasty iron]

yes

[ebon adder]

the print at the start doesn't even print

[slate swan]

you sure the event is being triggered?

[stray path]

Is it only discord.py here

[dapper cobalt]

Not sure if nextcord is same as discord.py but try on_member_update.

[slate swan]

it only gets triggered if a user updates their profile

[dapper cobalt]

Not anymore.

[stray path]

:(

[ebon adder]

yeah i did it on myself

and still nothing

[dapper cobalt]

Try on_member_update instead of on_user_update.

[slate swan]

^

[ebon adder]

alr

[dim cedar]

but how?

do i have to code for that?

[hasty iron]

yes? ofc?

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#add-guild-member

[dim cedar]

and what is activities.read /activities.write

[hasty iron]

it says it in the description

[somber musk]

i dont understand what i did wrong( the token is a old token i put to hide my actual bot)

[slate swan]

value = f(*args, **kwargs)
File "main.py", line 30, in get_prefix
prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]
KeyError: '881564058602582047'

def get_prefix(client, message):

    with open("prefixes.json", "r") as f:
        prefixes = json.load(f)

    return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]

[dapper cobalt]

Key '881564058602582047' is not in the JSON file.

And I don't really recommend using JSON as a database.

[ebon adder]

nope

[dapper cobalt]

Use an actual database, I suggest mongo.

[dapper cobalt]

Check nextcord's docs, maybe you will find it.

[ebon adder]

i did

https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=on_user_update#nextcord.on_user_update right here

[dapper cobalt]

Install PyNaCL.

[somber musk]

wym

[leaden anvil]

just wanna say something why am I getting these two errors what did I do wrong ? py @client.group(invoke_without_command=True) async def feedback(ctx, *, text = None): try: text = text.split("|") report=discord.Embed(color=0xfff868) report.add_field(name='Pending Confirmation', value=f"{text[1]} #Tittle \r {text[2]} #Description") await ctx.channel.send(embed=report,components=Select(placeholder="Posting where?", options=[SelectOption(label="Bugs", value="A"), SelectOption(label="Commands", value="B"), SelectOption(label="Suggestion", value="C"), SelectOption(label="Other", value="D")][[Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label="Discard", custom_id="n"), Button(style=ButtonStyle.green, label="Send", custom_id="y")]]) except: await ctx.reply("Please enter `/feedback format` to check how to format.") finally: print("done")Errors: Expected ")" & try statement must have at least one except or finally clause pls tag to reply

[somber musk]

like import PyNaCL or wha

[somber musk]

im following a tutorial so im a bit confused

[dapper cobalt]

The Select didn't get closed , I believe.

Add a ")" after that.

[dapper cobalt]

Do you have members intents enabled?

[ebon adder]

yup

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="T!", help_command=None,intents=nextcord.Intents.default())

[dapper cobalt]

Default intents don't include member intents.

[ebon adder]

what?

[dapper cobalt]

!intents try this but change discord to nextcord.

[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.

[ebon adder]

really?

[leaden anvil]

thanks now I have to debug it

[dapper cobalt]

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

bot = commands.Bot(..., intents=intents)

[ebon adder]

let me try it out

pog thanks

i thought default intents where good enough lol

[dapper cobalt]

Nope. Presence intents aren't in default either.

[rustic venture]

embed.add_field(name='Banned', value=f'{discord.Guild.fetch_ban()}', inline=False)

TypeError: fetch_ban() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'self' and 'user'
idk what i should write in ()

[somber musk]

i installed pynacl in the shell but it still shows this

[rustic venture]

https://i.hdskins.de/yozI3/buroMUbI59.png/raw

[vocal plover]

anyway your issue is that you need to call fetch_ban() on an object, not a type, like discord.Guild

[rustic venture]

so what should i use for a object?

[vocal plover]

A guild like message.guild or ctx.guild

I'd also suggest watching this video about OOP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDa-Z5JzLYM to gain a better understanding

[rustic venture]

thank you... but yeah "missing 1 required positional argument: 'user'" thats the only error message xd

[slate swan]

someone has a discord python bot? s

[rustic venture]

me, what do you need?

[valid niche]

my best guess is that it's just replit doesn't support it, and that's one of the many reasons you should never use replit

[placid skiff]

I m developing it

[valid niche]

also refresh your token NOW, you literally just leaked your token for the entire world to see

[slate swan]

@placid skiffyou do

can you send me a bot code?

[slate swan]

😭

a discord generator bot

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @valid niche! 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!

[slate swan]

like key

[valid niche]

there i invalidated that token

[slate swan]

s

[placid skiff]

Discord generator bot? Lol

[valid niche]

@somber musk

[vocal plover]

the bot doesnt invalidate the token

[valid niche]

it posts it on a github list of tokens that discord uses to invalidate no?

[vocal magnet]

We only invalidate webhooks, there's no API endpoint to invalidate bot tokens

[vocal plover]

no

[slate swan]

like a bot when you .generate key and so the bot give you a key

dayum

what do i do when i see this

[valid niche]

i guess only way is to add it to your own repo then no?

[slate swan]

[placid skiff]

Your python code can t generate the bot token or id

[vocal plover]

yeah, or push to a gist, either way its a hacky solution which wont be implemented in the bot

[dapper cobalt]

I think this is not the correct channel to ask in.

[slate swan]

where can iask

[valid niche]

ah then it probably was the r.danny bot from the dpy server that did it

[dapper cobalt]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[slate swan]

ty

[slate swan]

doesn't uploading them to github end up on the tokens getting invalidated?

i did it twice by accident and it got instantly invalidated and got a dm from discord system bot thingy

[valid niche]

yeah i vaguely remember having that here too

or it might have been the dpy server

[slate swan]

it's in dpy

[valid niche]

not sure

[vocal magnet]

uploading bot tokens to github does revoke them yes, but we're not going to do that with our bot

[slate swan]

alr

[patent lark]

change your token.

[valid niche]

already put it in a public gist for 2 seconds to invalidate it

so the user should have a system message now

[patent lark]

👍

[polar shell]

Hi all, I’ve implemented my bot onto discord. What would I have to do to edit the code?

[valid niche]

you open the code edit it and hit save

tho it smells like you have absolutely 0 experience with programming in general

[polar shell]

Where would I find that?

[valid niche]

and keep in mind a discord bot is an VERY complex project

and it's not made for any beginner

[patent lark]

i recommend you learn the basics of python, OOP, and asynchronous programming before you begin to fiddle with discord.py.

[polar shell]

Hmmm. I'll keep that in mind.

[valid niche]

wherever you saved them on your pc

[leaden anvil]

I have successfully debugged This codepy @client.group(invoke_without_command=True) async def feedback(ctx, *, text = None): try: text = text.split("|") report=discord.Embed(color=0xfff868) report.add_field(name='Pending Confirmation', value=f"{text[1]} #Tittle \r {text[2]} #Description") await ctx.channel.send(embed=report,components=Select(placeholder="Posting where?", options=[SelectOption(label="Bugs", value="A"), SelectOption(label="Commands", value="B"), SelectOption(label="Suggestion", value="C"), SelectOption(label="Other", value="D")][[Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label="Discard", custom_id="n"), Button(style=ButtonStyle.green, label="Send", custom_id="y")]]) except: await ctx.reply("Please enter `/feedback format` to check how to format.") finally: print("done")Errors: Expected ")" & try statement must have at least one except or finally clause but now it gives me the following error: Exception has occurred: TypeError 'Select' object is not subscriptable actually its a logical exceptions but through debugging I have found that it dues to these errors. pls reply or tag

[polar shell]

Ok! This might sound dumb, but I was thinking about a bot that scrambles a word, and the first person to guess it would get a point. Would that even be possible? I know it's probably very complicated to do.

[valid niche]

that's very easy, but if you have 0 knowledge it's impossible

[patent lark]

thats very possible, and pretty simple. but you really should take the advice i have given you or else you will struggle.

[valid niche]

please send the full traceback

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

Please provide a full traceback to your exception in order for us to identify your issue.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "tiny", line 3, in
        do_something()
    File "tiny", line 2, in do_something
        a = 6 / 0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

The best way to read your traceback is bottom to top.

• Identify the exception raised (e.g. ZeroDivisionError)
• Make note of the line number, and navigate there in your program.
• Try to understand why the error occurred.

To read more about exceptions and errors, please refer to the PyDis Wiki or the official Python tutorial.

[polar shell]

Yeah, I was planning on editing it as I learn ya'know?

Just something to help retain knowledge.

[leaden anvil]

ok

[valid niche]

yeah no that's not gonna happen. A discord bot is a VERY complex thing and requires extensive knowledge of the basics. And it's a VERY specific way of writing that isn't seen outside of this much and thus it won't learn you much

[patent lark]

you're jumping into discord.py too quickly.

[polar shell]

How long would it take to master the basics roughly?

[patent lark]

learn the basics of python, like syntax, how to read and understand tracebacks. learn basics of OOP (Object Oriented Programming), and asynchronous programming.

[valid niche]

learning doesn't work like that

[polar shell]

Just a general time scale, I know everyone's different.

[manic wing]

tbh I think you can just learn asynchronous programming as you go along

[patent lark]

it depends on how you learn, if you watch youtube tutorials for 4 hours then you'll never get where you need to be. but if you experiment and research, try for yourself, you'll learn.

[manic wing]

but function knowledge is needed

[pliant gulch]

Asynchronous programming is definitely not something you can learn only via discord.py

[patent lark]

^

[pliant gulch]

I can confidently say that

[polar shell]

Ok cool! I'll take your guys's advice to heart.

[hollow mortar]

hello

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @hollow mortar!

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

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

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

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[hollow mortar]

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

can any one look at my code idk why its not making the ticket config work

any help

[slate swan]

listen decorator takes an argument

[hollow mortar]

what does that mean its a command

[leaden anvil]

which line

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.9)").

Example...

[hollow mortar]

line 65

[slate swan]

error?

[hollow mortar]

it was working before like 2 days i dont remmber what i changed and it fucked it up idk any help

no errors it doesnt give me anything

[patent lark]

i think you may be wrong.

[hollow mortar]

it give me nothing like the code not reading it idk why

[slate swan]

yeah , i realised later that it was not their issue , it can be None

[patent lark]

with the bot.listen() decorator, you do not have to pass the function name you want to listen to.

yeah

[hollow mortar]

anyone know whats my problem ?

[slate swan]

do you have an error handler?

also , how do you invoke the command..

[patent lark]

your command isnt returning anything? do you have an on_message event maybe? and are not processing commands.

[hollow mortar]

i do this !configure_ticket 894287528306282537 887131186810454099 in the chat and it should create a ticket for me and setup the system idk why its not making

[patent lark]

yep, thats your issue

[hollow mortar]

what is it ?

[slate swan]

ah yes

[patent lark]

you need to process commands in your on_message

await bot.process_commands(message)

[hollow mortar]

not this

this is not my problem

my problem in line 65

[slate swan]

thats your problem.

[patent lark]

we know, your command isnt working because your on_message event isnt processing commands

[slate swan]

on_message is blocking the commands

[hollow mortar]

oh got it

[patent lark]

add this

[hollow mortar]

so what should i do ?

oh ok

[slate swan]

do what snow just said

[hollow mortar]

where ?

[patent lark]

top or bottom of the event

[slate swan]

below your on_message evnts

[patent lark]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  await bot.process_commands(message)
  #code ```

[hollow mortar]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    await bot.process_commands(message)
    f = open("badwords.txt", "r")
    liness = f.read()
    down = liness.split("\n")
    if any(words in message.content.lower() for words in down):
        await message.channel.purge(limit=1)
        await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention}, You can't say that!!")```

like this ?

[slate swan]

mhm sure

[hollow mortar]

yup

[patent lark]

yes

now your issue should be solved

[hollow mortar]

yeah it works now

yup thanks alot man

[patent lark]

👍

[leaden anvil]

can anyone help me with this: #discord-bots message

after the config it make a channel and mention the use that you have a ticket open it create the channel but dont mention the user

[patent lark]

the role your try to give the member doesnt exist (i think)

[hollow mortar]

yup i think the same

[patent lark]

actually

i didnt read the full traceback and made the wrong assumption

yeah it cannot find the role to set permissions for

[hollow mortar]

its working now yup

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    guild = bot.get_guild(891031599708266626  what should i put here ? )
    channel = guild.get_channel(886784755083907082)
    await channel.send(f"Welcome {member.mention} to the CursedMC Discord! 🥳")```

i forgot which id i should put there and im trying to remmber it any one can help ?

the second one is the channel id

the first one the role ? or the category ?

[patent lark]

the server id, but that is also not needed for what you're trying to do

in the bot.get_guild you're grabbing a guild, which takes an int.

[hollow mortar]

yup

[patent lark]

which you dont even need to do

[hollow mortar]

yup if im using it in 1 server

only so no need for the server id

[patent lark]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
  channel = bot.get_channel(ID)
  await channel.send(f"Welcome {member.mention}")

this would be just fine if the bot is in one server.

[hollow mortar]

yup thats what im planing to do thanks alot man

any help wht this error im sure 100% the role name same as here and the emoji as well

and the role of the bot is the top of the role i want the bot to give

[patent lark]

role is only defined if the if statement returns True

you only pass to the if role is not None if the if statement returns False.

well

[hollow mortar]

didnt understand it

it was working before tho

[patent lark]

i'm not thinking clearly lol, give me a second.

[hollow mortar]

ok waiting for you

if i can use the role id its better for me no cap

[patent lark]

thats not the issue

[hollow mortar]

whats the issue if you know it

[patent lark]

the way you defined role.

role only has an assignment if your if statement returns True, otherwise it doesnt

[hollow mortar]

idk why it doesnt returns true thats the problem its weird cuz the same emoji same name and the role

[patent lark]

your program doesnt know what role is (according to your error)

[hollow mortar]

it says this line

        if role is not None:```

it says this line in the console

[patent lark]

right, but what is role in this case?

role is not defined as your if statement above did not return true

[hollow mortar]

            role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name='Verified')```

[dapper cobalt]

Define role as None before getting it, and if the code got the role, it will overwrite it, otherwise, the role will stay as None.

[patent lark]

^

[hollow mortar]

ok so i make role = None

[patent lark]

i was gonna get to that but i wanted to make you understand why it was happening first

do you see why your program is doing this?

[hollow mortar]

yup i understand it now

discord does not

i invalidated the token by uploading it to github

yeah that's because i uploaded it to github

no bother, just trying to make you understand

[hollow mortar]

oh got it so what i should do is defined the role on the top of the command right ?

that no need for it to be none or true it will always be true

[patent lark]

mhm, role = None, and the value of role can change throughout the program

[somber musk]

is it illegal to make a music bot for just u and ur friends

[patent lark]

if you use youtube_dl we will not be able to provide help, as it is against ToS.

[hollow mortar]

use spotify dl or something like this

[somber musk]

what other methods are there

[hollow mortar]

i think its not against spotify tos

or sound cloud maybe check there tos

[patent lark]

pretty much every method goes against some ToS, actually.

[somber musk]

bc my friends server is asking me to make one but i dont know how to

[hollow mortar]

idk we cant answear about thing against tos in the server i guess

[somber musk]

sad

[patent lark]

i mean you wont get in a bunch of trouble from using youtube_dl, we just wont be able to provide help here if you do. and no im not encouraging you to break ToS, do anything at your own will :P

[somber musk]

i mean, its just me and my friends its not gonna be publicbut ty for the info

[patent lark]

bot is missing permissions to do add roles to a user

maybe the role your bot is trying to add is above the bots role

[hollow mortar]

the bot have admin perm i dont think let me check again

[dapper cobalt]

[placid skiff]

It doesn t metter, if the role you want to be added come before the role of your bot he can't add it

[boreal osprey]

none of my command outputs are sending :(

[hollow mortar]

its lower than the bot role

[patent lark]

you likely have an on_message event and are not processing commands

[boreal osprey]

but they do have it

[patent lark]

let me see your on_message event

[patent lark]

hmm..

[boreal osprey]

i'll send you all my code

so u can inspect

[patent lark]

the bot does not have permissions to add the role to a user. i do not know why.

[hollow mortar]

its weird problem this command were working before good and idk i just changed the server and it doesnt work

[patent lark]

you should make sure the permissions are correct

[boreal osprey]

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

[hollow mortar]

i will check them but im sure it have perm cuz when i make the ticket command in the same bot it give perms too ppl

[dapper cobalt]

Does the on_message event work though?

[placid skiff]

The on_message event doesn t process the command

Process the command or change the @bot.event() into @bot.listen()

[boreal osprey]

hmm

[boreal osprey]

it should?

[patent lark]

it does.

[dapper cobalt]

What?

Try sending a message, in your case, "deez nuts", and see if it replies.

[placid skiff]

Check bettere, there are more on_message event

[boreal osprey]

nothing is working

[patent lark]

there are 2.

[dapper cobalt]

Does the on_message event work?

[placid skiff]

3 lol

[boreal osprey]

nothing

nothin works

:(

[dapper cobalt]

Your bot instance is defined in a weird way.

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



from discord.ext.commands.errors import ArgumentParsingError, MissingRequiredArgument
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='g.', intents = Intents())

First of all, it's Intents.all().

Second, since you have Intents.all() you don't need to set intents.members to True.

[placid skiff]

Yeah i was looking at it too

[dapper cobalt]

Second, why did you call Intents in the commands.Bot()?

[patent lark]

yep

[dapper cobalt]

I'm pretty sure your bot is not running at all.

!intents have a look at this.

[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.

[patent lark]

intents = intents

[boreal osprey]

k is it actually good now

[dapper cobalt]

Yes.

Now try running your bot, and see if it prints "hi i am ready to be used".

[boreal osprey]

i mean it was always doing that when i turned it on, even before fixxing it

none of the commands was working which was weird

but they work now

[dapper cobalt]

You were calling Intents() which made the variable intents very useless.

[unkempt hawk]

How can I "acknowledge" messages so that they only get processed once when checking the message history for messages that came in while the bot was offline? I.e. doing something like

async for message in channel.history(oldest_first=True):
    ...  # Processing the message for the same as I use for `on_message`

[dapper cobalt]

Could you please elaborate?

[unkempt hawk]

Me?

[dapper cobalt]

Yes.

I didn't understand what are you trying to do.

[unkempt hawk]

I put in a message like !help, then run the bot, it should process that message as it came in while the bot was offline

[hollow mortar]

i have problem in this code everytime i react with the emoji called NA and i have role called NA in the server it says role not found any help

[unkempt hawk]

But I don't want it to be processed again if I restart the bot

I'm looking for how you'd ack in message queues

[patent lark]

try finding with ID.

[dapper cobalt]

You can save the ID of messages that got processed.

[hollow mortar]

i dont know how to do it 😢

[dapper cobalt]

And then check if the ID of the message is in the database you are saving the IDs in, and if it is, then return.

[patent lark]

role = discord.utils.get(payload.guild.roles, id = ID here)```

[hollow mortar]

it works on the test server

but doesnt work on the main server bruh weird

[dapper cobalt]

Error?

[patent lark]

hey do you mind helping, i am gonna go for a bit.

[hollow mortar]

nope no errors in the test server

and the main server doesnt see the role idk why

[dapper cobalt]

Sure, and remember, you aren't obligated to help! So don't pressure yourself.

[patent lark]

👍 :)

[dapper cobalt]

Is there roles in the main server with the names you are using?

[hollow mortar]

yessir

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add I gotta take a look at the docs.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

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

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

[hollow mortar]

th

this the roles i have on the main server and you can see the bots role is in the top

[hollow mortar]

thanks

[dapper cobalt]

Ah, wait.

payload doesn't have a guild attribute.

Since you've already got the guild, then use guild.roles instead of payload.guild.roles.

Oh, hold on. I looked at snow's message.

That's my bad.

[patent lark]

oh, i am sorry, i gave this as an example. i thought it had a guild attr

[dapper cobalt]

You can get the guild in a better way though. Use bot.get_guild(guildID). I'm not very sure if the way you get the guild is good.

[hollow mortar]

i tried to add the bot to that perm and still same problem

its sooo confusing cuz i have everything sit on and the bot still have the same problem in the main server but the test server no

weird

[hollow mortar]

if i change it with the id it will be better i think do you know how i can make it like it give the roles by the role id ?

[patent lark]

you could pass guild.roles with discord.utils.get

[dapper cobalt]

Get the role using role = guild.get_role(role id).

[patent lark]

or that

either works

[hollow mortar]

same problem role not found werirddddd

[dapper cobalt]

Is the role with the ID given in the main server?

[patent lark]

guild = bot.get_guild(guild_id_here)
role = guild.get_role(role_id_here)``` this should return the role

Cool

[hollow mortar]

hahahahahha

[dapper cobalt]

Next bot order I get, I'll try out disnake.

[hollow mortar]

LETSS GOOOO I KNOW THE PROBLEM FROM WHERE

[maiden fable]

GJ

[dapper cobalt]

I know that feeling, haha.

[hollow mortar]

hahahahahah

the problem is the bot in 2 servers test server and the main

[maiden fable]

BEST ONE EVER

[hollow mortar]

and in that code i dont have guild thing

[dapper cobalt]

Yes, lmao!

[hollow mortar]

so i kicked him from the test and left him in only 1 server and it worked

lets goo thanks thanks thanks thanks alot @patent lark and @dapper cobalt thank you guys and sorry for the bother

[patent lark]

haha its alright, no bother! i like helping.

[unkempt hawk]

Is there no built in solution for this, such as marking a message as seen by the bot or something, you must insert all of the messages to a DB?

[dapper cobalt]

Nope. Even botvars won't work as I believe they get redefined everytime you restart the bot.

[maiden fable]

!botvars

Sooo yea. Everything will be redefined everytime your bot restarts as long as u don't hardcode it

[slate swan]

No need of that ;-;

[maiden fable]

I like spamming tags

[patent lark]

we know

[unkempt hawk]

I know, but acking a message would just make sense

I've seen there's an ack() function and I assumed it would be used for this

Set a default value for role.

[hasty iron]

which is?

[dapper cobalt]

role = None

Can bots not use the premium stickers given by discord?

[patent lark]

didnt we already go through this lol

[maiden fable]

Raises a discord.Forbidden error

[dapper cobalt]

With someone else.

[hasty iron]

idk i haven’t used then

[hollow mortar]

hehe i dont remmber

[maiden fable]

:c

[dapper cobalt]

Try that:

role = None
if payload.emoji.name == "Verified":
  role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Verified")

[hasty iron]

i stopped coding bots like 4 months ago

[patent lark]

ohhh okay

[hollow mortar]

i know you should me how the problem from where but

[maiden fable]

Sad

[hollow mortar]

i tough it will get fixed wit that error but not

[dapper cobalt]

People who stopped but still have knowledge are the best, lmao.

[dapper cobalt]

Yes.

[dapper cobalt]

I call him "senpai" since he's like my teacher, haha.

[patent lark]

yeah, i think im slowly drifting away from discord.py. i use to code bots all the time, but for the past few weeks. i just dont really touch on it anymore. ive been creating games/sites, but i still enjoy being here to help others with questions regarding the library.

[hollow mortar]

role not found

[patent lark]

ctx.author.send()

[dapper cobalt]

Then role is None.

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.author

Union[User, Member]: Returns the author associated with this context’s command. Shorthand for Message.author

[hollow mortar]

that means same problem as the last one right ? weird

[patent lark]

but maybe i'll get back into it.

[patent lark]

me as well.

[hasty iron]

time to make my own discord api

[patent lark]

lol

[hasty iron]

with my own web framework

[dapper cobalt]

The time I got back into discord.py is when the person I work on a bot with actually did some effort until he got the bot verified (side-note: I've coded about 80% of that bot and he kept updating it.) then I focused more on that bot, and we are now earning many donations and getting so much love from the community!

weird i tried using the id

[patent lark]

thats amazing! i was making a public bot as a multipurpose bot, i planned many complex and great things, but i eventually just lost my motivation to work on it. and i stopped working on that bot about 2 months ago.

[dapper cobalt]

If feel that. I also lost motivation to work on my bot since it wasn't getting much attention, and also after seeing all my friends' bots getting so many reach faster than my bot.

[patent lark]

yeah, i know what you mean.

File "main.py", line 152, in <module>
@Bot.command()
AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'command'
 {im getting this error, but if i take the error out, it moves to the next command & so on.} help needed, pls.

[slate swan]

it's bot, not Bot

how did you define bot?

[crystal cliff]

tried that, same error

[slate swan]

how did you define bot?

[crystal cliff]

Bot = commands.Bot

[slate swan]

and the brackets

[final iron]

Send the actual code

[slate swan]

right?

[crystal cliff]

intents = discord.Intents().all()
Bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=get_prefix, intents=intents,help_command=None) {it was working, great yesterday}

[slate swan]

I'm not sure about the capital letter

[final iron]

send the code thats giving you the actual error

[crystal cliff]

its the same error, if a lowercase bot

[slate swan]

oh wait

[final iron]

Did you import commands?

[slate swan]

other decorators

before the command line

[dapper cobalt]

Why do you call discord.Intents?

Isn't it discord.Intents.all()?

[crystal cliff]

@Bot.command()
async def GN(ctx):
await ctx.send(f"Good Night, {ctx.message.author.mention} 😪") {if it remove it, move to the next command}

[patent lark]

yes

[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.

[slate swan]

nah, that would show the error in the next line....

[dapper cobalt]

And also ctx.author.mention, no need to use the message attr.

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.author

Union[User, Member]: Returns the author associated with this context’s command. Shorthand for Message.author

[crystal cliff]

intents = discord.Intents().all()

[patent lark]

no

intents = discord.Intents.all()

[final iron]

^

[slate swan]

there's no way Bot turned to a command object

without you messing with it

do you have a command called Bot?

hmmm

[final iron]

Can you send the line above the command decorator?

[crystal cliff]

tried that, same error. it was great, last night. i went to run it & it errored.

[slate swan]

@crystal cliff

[crystal cliff]

yes

[patent lark]

...

[slate swan]

I feel like a genius

wtf

where did you copy this from

well I suggest getting a help channel for that

I don't even know what that is

[crystal cliff]

when you solve, my prob you will 👍

[dapper cobalt]

@crystal cliff You have a command called "Bot".

Which means, you've got a Bot function.

Which means, you're overwriting your Bot variable.

And why are you using a capital B?

[crystal cliff]

i tried the code with lowercase, same error

[dapper cobalt]

Can I see your Bot command?

[crystal cliff]

@Bot.command()
async def GN(ctx):
await ctx.send(f"Good Night, {ctx.message.author.mention} 😪")

{when i remove, the error, it moves to the next command} 😦
