wdym it moves onto the next command?

Like if you remove this code the error will reappear in another command?

@crystal cliff How many lines is your code btw?

[crystal cliff]

yes

[crystal cliff]

over 400

[dapper cobalt]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[dapper cobalt]

And also, what's the error you get?

[manic wing]

where is the discord api

[reef shell]

https://discord.com/developers/docs

[oblique adder]

can i put gif in set thumbnail ?

[reef shell]

yes

[oblique adder]

thx

[final iron]

Your best solution would probably be to put all the code into a pasting service and sending it

You could use hastebin

[patent lark]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[patent lark]

yes

[reef shell]

you can't use emojis in embed title, author and footer iirc

you can

!thinkmon

<:emoji_name:id>

and an a before first colon if it’s animated

it should work fine
There is another way

get the emoji using get_emoji()

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_emoji

get_emoji(id, /)```
Returns an emoji with the given ID.

[reef shell]

Make sure your bot has access to that emoji

show code?

I see no emojis there

[hasty iron]

why are you casting a string to a string

[reef shell]

Try this and use f string

!pypi

You don’t need to cast something to strings which is already a string

[hasty iron]

!f-string

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

[dense walrus]

I am using discord.py 2.0 and when getting Member.avatar_url I got None, did they change it in 2.0?

[jade jolt]

member.avatar.url iirc

[dense walrus]

I get member.avatar as None

[reef shell]

You need members intent

Your bot*

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

class discord.Intents(**kwargs)```
Wraps up a Discord gateway intent flag.

Similar to [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions"), the properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

This is used to disable certain gateway features that are unnecessary to run your bot. To make use of this, it is passed to the `intents` keyword argument of [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

New in version 1.5...

[dense walrus]

Yeah its already on

[reef shell]

in code and developer portal too?

[dense walrus]

maybe its because the user avatar is the default discord one?

[dense walrus]

yeah

[reef shell]

That should be the case

[dense walrus]

Yeah let me test it 😄

yeah that's the case, thanks! @reef shell

[reef shell]

[final iron]

You just make a python file

Then start writing

[vestal lily]

i alrdy downloaded youtube_dl in terminal but it keeps saying that

[dapper cobalt]

!ytdl

[unkempt canyon]

Per Python Discord's Rule 5, we are unable to assist with questions related to youtube-dl, pytube, or other YouTube video downloaders as their usage violates YouTube's Terms of Service.

damn

[dapper cobalt]

Please refer to the docs; since there's no discord.Server object, and it's discord.Guild.

!d discord.Guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild

class discord.Guild```
Represents a Discord guild.

This is referred to as a “server” in the official Discord UI.

x == y Checks if two guilds are equal.

x != y Checks if two guilds are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the guild’s hash.

str(x) Returns the guild’s name.

[dapper cobalt]

What error do you get?

[slate swan]

how does the logging module work in cogs?

[patent lark]

that code is so so old.

so outdated

[boreal ravine]

imagine still using server after 1.0 tho 😂

[visual island]

member.display_name

you need Member instance anyway not User

sure

[somber musk]

im finally done my private music bot 😄

[zinc reef]

Indeed, it must respect roles hierarchy. And server owners are at the very top

[unkempt hawk]

How can add a bot to only one channel? It shouldn't listen to on_message() on any channels except one

[spring flax]

that would be through discord permissions

[maiden fable]

Or u can add an if statement at the top

[patent lark]

well actually, you can execute things only if a message is sent in the given channel you'd like with a simple if check at the top, but, technically the function will be called on every sent message no matter the channel, you can just return back to the function call if it isn't in the channel you give.

[unkempt hawk]

That doesn't sound very efficient?

Why would I want to listen to every message if it should only deal with 1 channel's?

[unkempt hawk]

Was able to achieve it with permissions as per your suggestion

[patent lark]

it is. lets say you want the bot to say something back to a user, but only if its in a specific channel

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  await bot.process_commands(message)
  if message.channel.id != YOUR CHANNEL ID:
    return
  else:
    await message.channel.send("Hello")```

this would be fine, and is only responding to one channel

no issues here.

[unkempt hawk]

But it still has to process every single message even if only 1 of a million messages is in that one channel, if that sounds efficient to you then your standards are probably rather low

[maiden fable]

Well the event is triggered whenever a message is sent be it in any channel in any guild, and your question was "How to listen to messages in only one channel". So, if u have a better way than what snow told you, then tell us, go on.

[patent lark]

thank you, hunter.

[unkempt hawk]

^

[maiden fable]

Yea, so u want the owner to set the permissions manually even if, instead u can do that through code, right?

[unkempt hawk]

I did it with permissions and on_message only triggers for messages in channels, exactly what I needed

[patent lark]

sounds kind of ridiculous to me lol.

[maiden fable]

I mean, isn't that what the work of a bot is? To make the work of server owners easy

[unkempt hawk]

Yeah it is indeed a lot of work to add a bot to a single channel

[patent lark]

i would much rather get my needs of having one channel being responded to with one line of code, rather than manually setting permissions to encounter it. it seems so unnecessary.

[maiden fable]

Well, we just gave you suggestions, it's upto if u want to use them or not. Well, I know a more complex way, but then, u will have to mess with the internals and use bot.dispatch, which, I don't think u know of.

He just gave you another way, and if u don't like it, then just ignore him. Why be rude to him?

[pliant gulch]

How would you mess with the internals to even achieve this

[maiden fable]

bot.dispatch lol

[pliant gulch]

You somehow pop a message out of thin air if it's only in one channel???

[maiden fable]

Using internals*

[pliant gulch]

You need to listen to every message lol that's just not how it works

If you are that worried about performance maybe python isn't the language you want

[patent lark]

@unkempt hawk ^

[unkempt hawk]

I'm creating something rather high throughput and it does make quite a bit of a difference there, saying that this is efficient is more rude than my reply was

[maiden fable]

Well, then as Andy said, if u r worried about performance, then use another language

[unkempt hawk]

Permissions solved it as per the suggestion above

[pliant gulch]

I was not responding to your problem

[spare lark]

can anyone help me with this
whenever i use role.color i get the hex value of color but i dont want that instead of that i want color name so can anyone tell me how to get that
also when i use role.permissions i get the output
<Permissions value=1945627743>
instead of this i want to get output like this
Administrator, Manage Server, Manage Roles, Manage Channels, Manage Messages, Manage Webhooks, Manage Nicknames, Manage Emojis, Kick Members, Ban Members, Mention Everyone

so how should i get this

[pliant gulch]

I was responding to hunters thought of messing with internals to achieve this

Which just won't work lol you can't pop a message out of thin air if it's inside of a specific channel

[maiden fable]

Use dict() on that

[maiden fable]

Well, by using my way, he would still have to use an if statement to check for the channel and then dispatching our own event ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pliant gulch]

No he wouldn't need an if statement if he limited the bots permissions

[maiden fable]

Yea

They are two different suggestions

I was just continuing my suggestion of if statement

[unkempt hawk]

I'm not doing computation, just handling requests (on a 64 core server), Python is just fine

[pliant gulch]

Im confused as to why you need to dispatch your own event

[patent lark]

.

[spare lark]

but as far as i know dict() creates a dictionary

[maiden fable]

Yes. It returns a dict only

[maiden fable]

Cz he thought using a simple if statement to return in case of a different channel tells that our standards are "too low"

[pliant gulch]

No your just adding a useless call which makes for less performance

[unkempt hawk]

Making an empty return for 99.9% of the requests doesn't sound efficient to me

[maiden fable]

🤷

[spare lark]

when i use role.permissions i get the output
<Permissions value=1945627743>
instead of this i want to get output like this
Administrator, Manage Server, Manage Roles, Manage Channels, Manage Messages, Manage Webhooks, Manage Nicknames, Manage Emojis, Kick Members, Ban Members, Mention Everyone

[maiden fable]

I told u lol

[spare lark]

you told about role colour

[maiden fable]

No....?

That was for permissions

dict(role.permissions)

[spare lark]

thats my bad sorry for inconvienence

[maiden fable]

It's fine

[spare lark]

but what i do about role color

[maiden fable]

What?

[spare lark]

cause im getting output in hex code

[maiden fable]

Is that a problem?

[spare lark]

im using role.color
its giving me output in hex code

[maiden fable]

Yea

That's what it should

[spare lark]

but i want output by name of role colour

[maiden fable]

You can't

[spare lark]

like it should give output like black blue

[maiden fable]

Reason- There are a thousands shades of a single color, so the code doesn't know which shade u call as red lol

For u its different, for me it's different

[spare lark]

but mee6 give output like this

[odd walrus]

I am making a script where when detected for a keyword in discord messages it will print keyword found
So i made it to be

user_messages = (message.content)
if "ABC" in user_message:
   print("abc") 

so when i type in chat ABC it will print abc
but when i send a webhook in embed with the word ABC it does nothing any chance i gotta change anything?

[maiden fable]

?

[spare lark]

nothing

[maiden fable]

U gotta check message.embeds

!d discord.Message.embeds it returns a list of discord.Embed objects

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.embeds

A list of embeds the message has.

[maiden fable]

U gotta check the description, field values and stuff haha

[soft radish]

how can u remove a role again?

@maiden fable

sorry for ping kek

[maiden fable]

It's fine

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.remove_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.remove\_roles

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

Removes [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s from this member.

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

[soft radish]

how can i define a user?

or fetch a user

[slate swan]

!d discord.User.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.get_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_member

get_member(user_id, /)```
Returns a member with the given ID.

[maiden fable]

Also User != Member

guys

i needed a little help

@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def configure_ticket(ctx, msg: discord.Message=None, category: discord.CategoryChannel=None):```

this my cmd

and this is what it is gonna output

i just wanna make an ugrade that in my cmd there would also be a scope of giving a channel type name

@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def configure_ticket(ctx, x, msg: discord.Message=None, category: discord.CategoryChannel=None):```

ticket_channel = await category.create_text_channel(f"{x}-help-discusion-{payload.member.display_name}", topic=f"A ticket for {payload.member.display_name}.", permission_synced=True)

but here it shows x is not defined help please

[slate swan]

What is x?

[dim cedar]

it is just a channel type

i wanna add this into the channel name

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel

Hey @dim cedar!

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:

no

prefixes part

line 53

[gloomy quest]

so what should it be like

[sick birch]

i'm not going to spoonfeed you

[ocean leaf]

it is possible. i have heard t

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.create_thread

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.create\_thread

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

Creates a public thread from this message.

You must have [`create_public_threads`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.create_public_threads "discord.Permissions.create_public_threads") in order to create a public thread from a message.

The channel this message belongs in must be a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel").

New in version 2.0.

[sick birch]

unindent so it matches

[ocean leaf]

ok

[sick birch]

or indent depending on your purpose

[gloomy quest]

ok

[ocean leaf]

so dpy officially allows to create threads

hmm i thought i have to use forked versions

[gloomy quest]

async def prefix(ctx, prefix):
  with open('prefixes.json', 'r') as f:
      prefixes = json.load(f)
      prefixes[str(ctx.guild.id)] = prefix

      with open('prefixes.json', 'w') as f:
        json.dump(prefixes, f, indent=4)
  await ctx.send(f"Prefix changed to {prefix}.")```??

this?

[hoary gust]

@gloomy quest indian?

[sick birch]

don't nest context managers, harder to read

[ocean leaf]

i'm making a help command in which anyone can ask for help regarding any langs.

[gloomy quest]

why do you mind

[sick birch]

also not sure how well it works considering you open it with read only mode, and open it for writing within

[hoary gust]

no i dont

just asking

[ocean leaf]

when the user will click on ask help button, it will open a thread for him/her and code helpers will be pinged

how is my idea?

[gloomy quest]

it worked

but it didnt change the prefix

[sick birch]

you probably shouldn't be using json for prefixes anyway

[gloomy quest]

o h

[gloomy quest]

then which

[sick birch]

a database

preferable postgres

[gloomy quest]

oh

[slate swan]

If you like use json i urge you to read this #discord-bots message

[fading harness]

hi how can i check that a user has permission or not?

[warm flame]

does anyone know how to fix this?

[sick birch]

python can't join together an int and a str

you'll have to do str() on the int

[warm flame]

okk

[fading harness]

pls

[warm flame]

so i cant do this?

[sick birch]

has_permission decorator

[fading harness]

give me a example code

with if

[sick birch]

you just have to call str() on the integer

[sick birch]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send('You can manage messages.')

[warm flame]

what does this mean?

im getting this error now

[dapper cobalt]

It's expecting an int and not a str. Though, you gave it a str which is "job".

[warm flame]

but the json requires a string...

[dapper cobalt]

Try user[str(user.id)]["job"].

[warm flame]

still getting the same error

[dapper cobalt]

!e

data = {"name": "Seif Wessam"}

[dapper cobalt]

Ah, didn't do it correctly.

[warm flame]

but it works with the other components

[dapper cobalt]

I believe that you've overwritten your variable user after defining it again.

Could you please show me the whole code?

[warm flame]

https://hatebin.com/ifcsvzttlp

[dapper cobalt]

No, I meant this particular command.

[warm flame]

the json file?

i dont know where the problem is coming from

[unkempt hawk]

How can I move my commands to a separate commands.py file, and import them all to main.py? For example, main.py:

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", case_insensitive=True)

@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.reply("Hello!")

@client.command()
async def bye(ctx):
    await ctx.reply("Bye!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    client.run(var.DISCORD_MARTINBOT_TOKEN)

I'd like to move those commands to commands.py and then use them in the bot in main.py

no

read the article, it explains it

[unkempt hawk]

But classes giving me headaches lol

[steep estuary]

why the bot is doing dm to itself

[slate swan]

you just load the extension using load_extension , you cog would have setup function which will do it

[steep estuary]

welcomeEmbed.add_field(name=f"Member Number", value=f"#{member.guild.member_count}", inline=True)
            user = member
            await channel.send(embed=welcomeEmbed)
            await user.send(f"We Are So Excited to have you on {member.guild.name}")

it is doing dm to itself :/

[slate swan]

what's the member variable?

[manic wing]

what is member

[steep estuary]

it is in on_member_join(member)

[slate swan]

Hy i need some help

🙃

[warm flame]

guys how can i add a button?

[dapper cobalt]

You can use cogs. You may have a look at this repository, it has examples and explanation. https://github.com/ScopesCodez/discordpy-cogs

[dapper cobalt]

Not supported in discord.py, so you will need to use a 3rd party extension.

[slate swan]

About api like for roles we use https://discord.com/api/v9/guilds/{guild}/roles whats for categories and voice channels

[dapper cobalt]

!pypi dislash.py is a great one.

Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[reef shell]

and It's pretty good

[warm flame]

ive been thinking the same thing

[slate swan]

@reef shell can u tell?

[dapper cobalt]

I never checked v2.0, I'm really afraid, I don't know why.

[boreal ravine]

no reason to be afraid of a module?

[dapper cobalt]

Not the module.

[unkempt hawk]

I'm trying so far I have

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", case_insensitive=True)


class Commands(commands.Cog):

    @commands.command()
    async def hello(self, ctx: commands.Context):
        await ctx.reply("Hello!")

    @commands.command()
    async def bye(self, ctx: commands.Context):
        await ctx.reply("Bye!")

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

But then how do I import that in the main script?

[boreal ravine]

oh

[dapper cobalt]

But I'm afraid of the version not being stable.

[slate swan]

No ones helping 😒😒

[dapper cobalt]

Initialize the class before making the commands.

[boreal ravine]

with?

[dapper cobalt]

Discord's documentation has a search function.

[slate swan]

Okies

Thanks

[boreal ravine]

Otherwise it won't register

[unkempt hawk]

Gotcha, and now what?

What do I import?

[slate swan]

@dapper cobalt can u give link of documentation ur talking about

[reef shell]

It's stable

[dapper cobalt]

@unkempt hawk are you making classes in the main file? If so, you're defeating the purpose of cogs.

[slate swan]

@unkempt hawk hey listen shard up yr bot it's easy and it will also make fast

[boreal ravine]

It isn't most of the forks are still in development?

[reef shell]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel

[slate swan]

@reef shell thanks 🙃🙃🙃

[reef shell]

Ok what did you find unstable?

[hybrid fjord]

is there an event where a user joins a voice channel?

[boreal ravine]

sharding is for big bots?

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.on_voice_state_update

The following, but not limited to, examples illustrate when this event is called...

[reef shell]

I'm not talking about forks

[hybrid fjord]

thanks

[unkempt hawk]

No I don't have any class in the main file

[reef shell]

fyi

[boreal ravine]

Y ask me

[spare lark]

list(dict(role.permissions).items())
by using above code im getting the permission a role in list but they are not in order i mean that i want permissions in the decreasing order of priviledges like

Administrator, Manage Server, Manage Roles, Manage Channels, Manage Messages, Manage Webhooks, Manage Nicknames, Manage Emojis, Kick Members, Ban Members, Mention Everyon

how should i get this output

[dapper cobalt]

Then why did you define bot again?

[reef shell]

#discord-bots message

[unkempt hawk]

Removed it, now what?

[slate swan]

@boreal ravine hm

[visual island]

[perm for perm in dict(role.permissions).items() if perm is True]

[unkempt hawk]

I didn't have bot defined yet btw

Only client

[dapper cobalt]

Well, as I said, you can have a look at https://github.com/ScopesCodez/discordpy-cogs and you will know what to do!

[unkempt hawk]

I did but I don't understand it

I hate classes

[warm flame]

how can i make buttons on the same row?

what does the row arguement take?

[dapper cobalt]

Well, that's how cogs work.

[unkempt hawk]

I have client in mine yours is missing that it only has bot

[reef shell]

You can have maximum 5 rows

[dapper cobalt]

Huh?

[reef shell]

it takes the row number

[dapper cobalt]

It should be named bot and not client, though.

It does work, but it's preferable to make your bot instance named bot.

[unkempt hawk]

Aren't you supposed to use @client.event etc.?

The tutorial I was following used client

[reef shell]

Bad naming Convention

[dapper cobalt]

It depends on what you defined your bot's instance as.

[unkempt hawk]

My client is client = Client() I don't have a bot yet

[warm flame]

so row=1?

[dapper cobalt]

It should be bot = commands.Bot(). Using discord.Client() is very bad.

[reef shell]

You don’t need to specify it if you are gonna have only one row

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

[warm flame]

but i have 2 buttons and i want to put them in one row

[reef shell]

And a row can have max. 5 buttons

[unkempt hawk]

I was following 3 tutorials they all used Client()

[dapper cobalt]

That's why YouTube tutorials are bad.

Don't follow them.

[reef shell]

So you don't need to use that keyword

[unkempt hawk]

Neither was a YT one lol

[reef shell]

@unkempt hawk https://vcokltfre.dev/tutorial/01-setup/

[warm flame]

crap i meant one line

[dapper cobalt]

What kind of tutorial?

[reef shell]

Follow this one

[unkempt hawk]

Whatever google threw up for python discord tutorial

[dapper cobalt]

Even worse.

[warm flame]

i want them to go in one line

[dapper cobalt]

Tutorials in general are mostly bad.

[reef shell]

show code

[warm flame]

oh wait

[reef shell]

is it dpy?

[warm flame]

        await ctx.reply(
            embed=em,
            components=[
                Button(label="Back", ),
                Button(label= "Next", )
            ]
        )
``` yes

[reef shell]

I don’t think so

[dapper cobalt]

Try appending that list in another one. It should work iirc.

[warm flame]

why would i be here then?

[dapper cobalt]

components=[[Button(..), Button(..)]]

[warm flame]

isnt it the same thing but in an another array?

[dapper cobalt]

Yes.

That's what I said at first.

[reef shell]

i'm not familiar with this type of defining buttons,
You should subclass discord.ui.View and use button decorator so you can use that button's callback easily

[warm flame]

nvm it works

how tf is putting it in another array works?

[dapper cobalt]

Because it loops through each item in the main array and add a button for it in a new row.

If you give it a list in a list, it will loop through the outer list, and join the inside list.

There's a Discord limitation; hence why you can't have more than 5 buttons in one row iirc.

[reef shell]

are you sure you are using dpy v2.0 and not a fork?@warm flame

[warm flame]

yes im sure im using dpy 2.0

[reef shell]

never knew components is a kwarg of reply()

I checked and it is not

lmao

[unkempt hawk]

Why does on_message print the message but the cog command doesn't fire? If I comment out the on_message it works

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    print(f"{message.channel} - {message.author}: {message.content}")


# Load Commands

bot.load_extension("commands")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    bot.run(var.DISCORD_MARTINBOT_TOKEN)

Can I not have both for a message?

[slate swan]

await client.process_commands(message)

after the print

[unkempt hawk]

Oh ty

[reef shell]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands

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

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") if so.

[warm flame]

guys how can i edit alrdy sent embeds?

[unkempt hawk]

But what if I don't have a client?

[reef shell]

#discord-bots message

[warm flame]

can i just store ctx.send in a variable then edit it or smth

[unkempt hawk]

Do I need to just do await process_commands(message) or what's your point?

[dapper cobalt]

Yes.

[warm flame]

really?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[reef shell]

Read the docs first please

[dapper cobalt]

msg = await ctx.send(..)
await msg.edit(content="edited")

[warm flame]

so python has something common with other languages, epic

[boreal ravine]

use ur commands.Bot variable then?

[reef shell]

it should be await bot.proc.....

[maiden fable]

U can do await bot.process_commands(message) at the last of the event

[slate swan]

at the beggining of the code, you define "discord.ext.commands.Bot()". What did you name the variable?

ah bot

[maiden fable]

bot

Cz its bot.event haha

[unkempt hawk]

I'm confused as hell on whether to use client or bot, half the people are saying client is bad but the other half tells me to use client instead of bot

[slate swan]

so it would be

await bot.process_commands(message)```#

[unkempt hawk]

Ye I got it

[maiden fable]

If u wanna make commands, use Bot. That's it

[slate swan]

yea im too tired to think of just looking at it lol

[maiden fable]

Haha it's fine

[unkempt hawk]

What if it does both?

[reef shell]

The latter half is wrong

[maiden fable]

Client is for the beginners or those people who just want to use events

[unkempt hawk]

Commands and normal events like on_message

[maiden fable]

Bot has both

[reef shell]

eh?

[slate swan]

Clients bad, The guide i watched for dpy defined Bot as "client" and its stuck. But you wanna use Bot

[maiden fable]

I meant discord.Client class

[reef shell]

Client is for beginner

Yeah ik

[unkempt hawk]

Got it

[maiden fable]

U can't tell a person who just started with dpy to make commands with @bot.command() lol

[reef shell]

bruh

[maiden fable]

Most of the ppl (if I am correct), start with Client

Well, I can be wrong also 🤷

[dapper cobalt]

Imo, it's easier than on_message, unless it's a DJS person.

[maiden fable]

Ikrrrr

djs devs didn't add an extension cz they wanted to keep things simple for themselves lmao

[hasty iron]

how is client bad

[soft galleon]

heyo, what ways do you guys know i can make the bot prefix case unsensitive? for example dank memer i can do PLS, pLs, pLS. and pls

[hasty iron]

if you say Client is bad, that means Bot is also bad

[maiden fable]

He means the variable name...

client = commands.Bot()

[hasty iron]

oh

[maiden fable]

If I understand him correctly, that's what he means lol

[maiden fable]

U need to define multiple prefixes

[dapper cobalt]

No.

[maiden fable]

....?

That's for commands lol. Not for prefixes

[hasty iron]

use regex like a chad

[soft galleon]

no

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.case_insensitive

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.case\_insensitive

Whether the commands should be case insensitive. Defaults to False. This attribute does not carry over to groups. You must set it to every group if you require group commands to be case insensitive as well.

[soft galleon]

thats for commands, not prefixes

[maiden fable]

Bruh

[maiden fable]

@dapper cobalt

[slate swan]

Isnt that only for the commands. Eg $apple. $AppLe

[soft galleon]

but thanks for trying to help :)

[maiden fable]

isn't that what I said

[slate swan]

Yea but...

[maiden fable]

U can always define multiple prefixes haha

[dapper cobalt]

Oh, right.

[maiden fable]

easy way

[dapper cobalt]

Didn't read it well.

9 AM and I haven't had a minute of sleep.

[unkempt hawk]

Same here, been up for almost 48h, I blame discord.py

[high flame]

he have a list

command_prefix=[...]

[warm flame]

guys how can i check if a button is pressed or not?

[maiden fable]

U r subclassing Button or what?

[solar pike]

code for mentioning a user

[warm flame]

no

[solar pike]

like pinging him

[maiden fable]

user.mention

[maiden fable]

Subclassing View?

[solar pike]

OOK ty

[warm flame]

idk im just gonna paste the code where i use the buttons https://hatebin.com/tuycwldaov

ive been following a decumentary but it doesnt seem to be working

tried a yt vid, still aint working

[maiden fable]

Sorry bro. Never used that lib. Please use dpy 2.0

[warm flame]

i am using dpy 2.0 tho

[high flame]

!d discord.User.mention

[maiden fable]

DiscordComponents...

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.mention

property mention: str```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the given user.

[maiden fable]

I have answered before...

[warm flame]

ive searched everywhere they told me to use this so idk

[high flame]

not a problem though

[maiden fable]

Don't use anything else lol. Just subclass View. Checkout the examples directory in the dpy repo, there are a few examples to do the same

[maiden fable]

Ah ya, it's fine

[high flame]

you're using discord components lib

[warm flame]

this thing?

[high flame]

oh

[warm flame]

is that the one u talking abt?

[high flame]

no no

[warm flame]

do i have to use that?

[high flame]

oh wait

that's wrong maybe

you've imported it and didn't use it

you use a 3rd lib instead

[warm flame]

what am i suppose to use?

[reef shell]

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[warm flame]

what is the timeout arguement?

[reef shell]

I told you earlier

The timeout for the view

eg. buttons and dropdowns

[warm flame]

liek this?

[reef shell]

You were telling me you are using dpy 2.0

[maiden fable]

Not the correct case, but yes

[warm flame]

every tutorial i see on the internet uses discord-components

[reef shell]

i don't follow tutuorials

[warm flame]

ive been trying to figure it out myself

[reef shell]

i follow docs

[warm flame]

but then i gave up

[warm flame]

discord..py has a documentary?

[reef shell]

wait, you never knew that?

[soft galleon]

yeah

[reef shell]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

gtg for shower, bye

[dawn vine]

how do i make it so that it sends a message every 90 seconds or so

[reef shell]

A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[dawn vine]

oh ok thanks

waht do i put in loop?

[reef shell]

Your task

[dawn vine]

oh ok

thanks so much!

[reef shell]

like sending messages

In your case

[dawn vine]

yea

i want to irritate ppl

[reef shell]

lmao

?

[reef shell]

so you literally copied the code from docs?

[dawn vine]

uh yes

cause i didnt learn this

in any tutorials

[reef shell]

!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.

[dawn vine]

yes

[reef shell]

You don’t do it like this

[dawn vine]

    discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=0, minutes=1, hours=0, time=0, count=None, reconnect=True, loop='F.C.P.D reporting partrol 5 check on general' )
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[reef shell]

This is a decorator to be used for async fuctions

[dawn vine]

ok

but whats the error

the *

?

[reef shell]

the error is you are not doing it in the way it meant to be

[dawn vine]

yea but how is meant to be xD

[reef shell]

@tasks.loop(seconds=60)
async def activity_change_(): 
users = sum(g.member_count for g in bot.guilds)
await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=f"ethelp | {users} users")) 

There you go, a quick example i copied from my code

[dawn vine]

oh ok

thanks!!

what is count supposed to be?

[reef shell]

the indentations got f up

Nvm

[reef shell]

the number of tumes the loop should run

[dawn vine]

what is for infinite?

[reef shell]

don't mention

The keyword

[dawn vine]

k

thanks

[reef shell]

It defaults to loop forever

and please consider reading the docs

[dawn vine]

[weary gorge]

Could u help me mr. sherlock?

[reef shell]

Did you check the example i gave you?

[dawn vine]

yea

[reef shell]

so why are you using it like before lol

[weary gorge]

i've run into an issue with reaction roles

[reef shell]

Maybe, if i can

[weary gorge]

thanku

this is the command line

@bot.command(name="selfrole")
async def self_role(ctx):
await ctx.send("ANSWER")

questions = ["Enter Message: ", "Enter Emojis: ", "Enter Roles: ", "Enter Channel: "]
answers = []

def check(user):
    return user.author == ctx.author and user.channel == ctx.channel

for question in questions:
    await ctx.send(question)

    try:
        msg = await bot.wait_for('message', timeout=120.0, check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await ctx.send("Type Faster Nerd")
        return
    else:
        answers.append(msg.content)

emojis = answers[1].split(" ")
roles = answers[2].split(" ")
c_id = int(answers[3][2:-1])
channel = bot.get_channel(c_id)

bot_msg = await channel.send(answers[0])

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

self_roles[str(bot_msg.id)] = {}
self_roles[str(bot_msg.id)]["emojis"] = emojis

with open("selfrole.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(self_roles, f)

for emoji in emojis:

well, part of it

[sacred folio]

Hey guys, im trying to get all the people that have reacted on a message. I tried using await getmsg.reactions[0].users().flatten() but it seems it only gets the latest one

[solar pike]

how do i add embed in this code

[dawn vine]

umm it saying something wrong in my client.run

[solar pike]

nvm got it

[dawn vine]

why it not working

[slate swan]

That's not how loop works

Use tasks:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

[dawn vine]

ok thanks

[reef shell]

So you chose to not follow docs or the example I've shown you

[dawn vine]

LMAO im sorry i dont understand without indents

i tried to follow but i didnt understand

[reef shell]

i'm on mobile so indentations got f up nvm

[dawn vine]

@tasks.loop(seconds=5.0, count=5)
async def slow_count():
    await message.channel.send('This is F.C.P.D partrolling general partrols 5 and 6 are killing beluga')

[hoary gust]

someone tell me why is this happening discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: edit() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[reef shell]

This is the correct way

[dawn vine]

ok

thanks

[reef shell]

but you need something else to start the loop

[hoary gust]

        info = await ctx.send("Please send the embed message title in 1 minute")

await info.edit("Timeout")

[dawn vine]

example?

[reef shell]

Wait a sec

from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def my_loop():
    print('Hello World')

my_loop.start() 

[dawn vine]

do i have to install tasks?

[hoary gust]

@reef shell can u help me a bit

[reef shell]

no

You need to import

[reef shell]

Yea, how can i help you

[hoary gust]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: edit() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[hoary gust]

^

[hasty iron]

edit takes only kwargs

[hoary gust]

why th is this happening

[reef shell]

Only 1 pos. arg

[hasty iron]

?

do you know what kwargs is

keyword arguments

[dawn vine]

await message.channel.send('This is F.C.P.D partrolling general partrols 5 and 6 are killing beluga')

its saying message is unresolved

[hasty iron]

define it

[dawn vine]

but it is defined it other ones

[hasty iron]

!scope

[unkempt canyon]

Scoping Rules

A scope defines the visibility of a name within a block, where a block is a piece of python code executed as a unit. For simplicity, this would be a module, a function body, and a class definition. A name refers to text bound to an object.

For more information about names, see !tags names

A module is the source code file itself, and encompasses all blocks defined within it. Therefore if a variable is defined at the module level (top-level code block), it is a global variable and can be accessed anywhere in the module as long as the block in which it's referenced is executed after it was defined.

Alternatively if a variable is defined within a function block for example, it is a local variable. It is not accessible at the module level, as that would be outside its scope. This is the purpose of the return statement, as it hands an object back to the scope of its caller. Conversely if a function was defined inside the previously mentioned block, it would have access to that variable, because it is within the first function's scope.

>>> def outer():
...     foo = 'bar'     # local variable to outer
...     def inner():
...         print(foo)  # has access to foo from scope of outer
...     return inner    # brings inner to scope of caller
...
>>> inner = outer()  # get inner function
>>> inner()  # prints variable foo without issue
bar

Official Documentation
1. Program structure, name binding and resolution
2. global statement
3. nonlocal statement

[hasty iron]

if you define a variable inside a function, you cant access it somewhere else

[dawn vine]

but i didnt have to do that before?

[hasty iron]

?

[dawn vine]

oh nvm

i fixed sorry to bother

[vale narwhal]

@bot.event
async def on_member_unban(member):
   if member == "SIN#2981":
      await member.ban(reason="Alt")
   else:
      pass

i got this errror

2021-10-04T08:21:54.846539+00:00 app[worker.1]:     await coro(*args, **kwargs)
2021-10-04T08:21:54.846567+00:00 app[worker.1]: TypeError: on_member_unban() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Am i doing anything wrong?

[rough ledge]

The argument is not a Member, its 2 arguments, a Guild and User

[vale narwhal]

Hmm alright

guild, user?

[rough ledge]

Yes

[vale narwhal]

Alright ty

If i want to check then use user right?

[rough ledge]

Yes

[vale narwhal]

Another question is it <username>#<tag> or <id>

and can i use it with await ban

@bot.event
async def on_member_unban(guild, user):
   if user == "739767836850913302":
      await user.ban(reason="Alt")
   else:
      pass

weird...

[rough ledge]

if member == "SIN#2981"
I'm not sure if this would work
I assume it would be if f'{user.name}#{user.discriminator} == "SIN#2981"'

[vale narwhal]

hmmm

[vagrant brook]

str(user) works

[rough ledge]

If you want to check the id
if user.id == 1234

[vale narwhal]

Alright

[placid skiff]

There is a simple way using the member converter

[vale narwhal]

also how do i ban em thought

user.ban?

[rough ledge]

Use Guild.ban, because User doesnt have ban()

[placid skiff]

from discord.ext.commands import command
from discord import Member

@command
async def ban(ctx, member: Member):

[vale narwhal]

Bruh not command...

It's an event

[placid skiff]

It s the same lol

Just use that member: Member

The code will try to convert the string member into a Member object

[vagrant brook]

uhh

[slate swan]

You don't understand the question at all

[placid skiff]

If it cannot then will simply raise an error

[slate swan]

Again, they're trying to ban a user through an event and not with any type of command

So what you're giving is pretty much useless and helpless

[placid skiff]

The member converter work anyway :_:

Let s say

async def on_member_unabn(guild, user: Member):
    If  user.name == wathever_the_name_is:
       await guild.ban(user)

[slate swan]

guild.ban is really outdated ;-;

[placid skiff]

The on_member_unban event gives a guild and a user as parameter, that user can be converted into a member and be used as a member object

So it no metter what user is, if is an id, the nickname or the discriminator. Is a member object and can be used as a regular member

[orchid raptor]

Hi, I use ctx.reply in my commands instead of ctx.send and it works.
But something can happen that for whatever reason the message is deleted and an error
HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body In message_reference: Unknown message
Sending, I want the ctx.send process to be done if something like this happens.
And this is possible with try and excpet, but to use this in any of my commands is really useless and a waste of time.
please help

[slate swan]

hello
I am trying to make a discord music bot play any1 sound file when a single command is use
there are the codes

@bot.command()
async def fast(ctx: commands.Context):
    voice_channel: discord.VoiceChannel = ctx.author.voice.channel
    print(voice_channel.name)
    vc = await voice_channel.connect()
    vc.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio("file 1" or "ffile2"))
    while vc.is_playing():
        await asyncio.sleep(.1)
    await vc.disconnect()

there aren't working

anyway to fix?

[hasty iron]

outdated? how?

Member.ban is an alias to it

[placid skiff]

Can you paste the code that gives you this error?

[slate swan]

Make a custom function that you will always use afterwards

[hasty iron]

its not, conversion via typehints only works with commands

[placid skiff]

Mh strange i have a couple of events in my bot where i convert things and they works fine

[hasty iron]

you aren’t converting anything

you’re just doing a regular typehint

nothing more, nothing less

[slate swan]

Make an argument like this user: discord.Member and then await user.ban()

[slate swan]

Wrong. It's not an alias, it's an equivalent. And using Member.ban is much more intuitive

[slate swan]

Why replying to me?

[hasty iron]

!d discord.Member.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.ban

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

Bans this member. Equivalent to [`Guild.ban()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.ban "discord.Guild.ban").

[slate swan]

Equivalent to Guild.ban().

[hasty iron]

how is Guild.ban outdated

[slate swan]

Not alias of

how to use embed in cogs ?

[hasty iron]

it does the same thing

and it’s better because you dont need a Member object

[slate swan]

Just like normal

[slate swan]

Member object that you already have but whatever

[hasty iron]

?

oh right

[slate swan]

User asking for help is not even here anymore

[hasty iron]

why does that matter

[slate swan]

➿

[hasty iron]

im just saying that you dont need a Member object with Guild.ban, you can pass in any snowflake

which makes it better

[slate swan]

➿

Ok

[orchid raptor]

error handler? Or command ؟

[orchid raptor]

Isn't it an easier way?

[hasty iron]

    async def ban(
        self,
        *,
        delete_message_days: Literal[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] = 1,
        reason: Optional[str] = None,
    ) -> None:
        """|coro|

        Bans this member. Equivalent to :meth:`Guild.ban`.
        """
        await self.guild.ban(self, reason=reason, delete_message_days=delete_message_days)
``` basically an alias

[slate swan]

➿

[slate swan]

It's not hard and if you don't want to always make a try/except for every .reply() you should consider it.

[vale narwhal]

@bot.event
async def on_member_unban(guild, user):
   if user.id == 739767836850913302:
      await guild.ban(user, reason="Alt")
   else:
      pass

^ solved

[slate swan]

how to fix embed is not working

[slate swan]

Missing self in avatar()

It's not the embed that doesn't work

[slate swan]

can u fix the code

Add self

[hasty iron]

bruh

[boreal ravine]

do it urself?

[slate swan]

It's 4 characters, is it that hard?

Add self

[boreal ravine]

lmfao eol error

[slate swan]

Literally 4 characters

[slate swan]

Dont u just need the ctx then embed.add_image(url=ctx.author.avatar_url)?

i am a beginner

[boreal ravine]

its set now lol

not add

[hasty iron]

im pretty sure a beginner can write 4 characters

[slate swan]

Here's the real issue then, learn Python before

[slate swan]

They updated it?

[hasty iron]

or do you not know how to use a keyboard

[slate swan]

And adding 4-6 characters after a ( is not that hard

[slate swan]

Ye fr learn basic python

[slate swan]

huh

I meant you?

[slate swan]

Embed.add does not work? U just said they changed it to set or u talking about djs

[vale narwhal]

I am pretty sure that i didn't even learned python just learn it from open source bot and idk

[boreal ravine]

You said

Dont u just need the ctx then embed.add_image(url=ctx.author.avatar_url)?
I correct you by saying it's embed.set_image now

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

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

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

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

[slate swan]

So its set

[boreal ravine]

doesn't exist

yeah it's set_image

[slate swan]

Ohhh kk i forgor

[umbral carbon]

he

if __name__ == '__main__':
  for ext in extensions:
    client.load_extension(ext)

this is my code to import cogs and the cog 'codes' is running fine while the cog 'random' isnt

the other basic code we put in a cog is same in both but icant use commands of random cog but the codes cog commands run fine

from lists import *

class random(commands.Cog):
  
  def __init__(self, bot):
      self.bot = bot```

  bot.add_cog(random(bot))```

this is my code and in between those are my commads which i have tried putting same commands in both

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "tt" is not found```

this is the error

[valid niche]

@umbral carbon could you show your full cog code?

so with the commands and everything?

[slate swan]

The error might come from how you've written your commands in the cog file, share the entire code

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

[valid niche]

if it's too long to paste use this

[slate swan]

And why do you use bot in cogs but client in the main file

[valid niche]

oh also that class random is going to be VERY annoying when you want to use the random module

[umbral carbon]

yes

i changed to randomcom

doesnt work still

wait a sec

i pasted the main.py code there

[valid niche]

share the cog code with us

[slate swan]

Since your other cog is loading, the issue is in the random cog. Share this file

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[umbral carbon]

mostly it shows it isnt corect

[valid niche]

also: https://vcokltfre.dev/tips/clientbot/

[umbral carbon]

my bad i'll check it, im kind of new

[slate swan]

Commands should be indented at the same level as the __init__ function

[umbral carbon]

ohhh

[valid niche]

here is a straight line

alright ty

Hello why am I getting || on timestamp?

I want only 1 |

emb.set_footer(text = f"Bumped by {ctx.author}", icon_url = ctx.author.avatar_url)
emb.timestamp = datetime.utcnow()

[glass sail]

Hello!
I had a question about Discord.py.
I want my bot to respond only when I write a number and a dot next to it.
Example: 20. hello (the number here is 20 and the text here is hello)
It should get both the inputs (the number and text).
Should I do this with the on_message function (if so, how?) or with any other method?
Thanks!

[valid niche]

depends on what you want to do

you have on_message and you have wait_for

[valid niche]

please send your code

[slate swan]

Because this is default

When you add a footer and timestamp, there's an automatic | on phone to separate them

And on computer I believe it's • that separates them

[waxen granite]

Is it possible to get the member who created a channel?

[slate swan]

Yes, by checking the audit logs

[waxen granite]

Any other way?

[slate swan]

Nope

[supple sentinel]

Hey guys, i want to create a bot that within its features creates a "profile" for everyone who sends a message in the server. These "Profiles" would work like variables, holding infomation that can change about each person. How would i go about doing this?

[slate swan]

Use a database to store the required information

[valid niche]

just databases, like store all the info you have in a database

[supple sentinel]

Ah, thank you very much

[slate swan]

@valid niche @slate swan

emb.timestamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
emb.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.guild.icon_url)

Halp pls

How to make the default || to |

@cedar smelt

[slate swan]

This one

[slate swan]

You don't

This is how Discord works

You can't change anything about it

If it shows as || and you haven't added an extra | by yourself, then it's Discord that decided it

[slate swan]

See..

See, there's only one...

But how?

I don't see ||

[slate swan]

Its code

As I said........

What should I add here?

It's DISCORD that chose it to be like that

You CAN'T change what Discord made default

If you add a footer text AND timestamp, it will be separated using |

And this is how it is and you CAN'T do ANYTHING about it

[slate swan]

I just did...

Can you read please?

Read what

Whatever

Maybe read what users send

Thank you!

:)

...

It now shows |

[slate swan]

And that's literally what I've said here

Anyways, thanks again

[slate swan]

And there are no || here either

A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the guild wide permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under [`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions").

This check raises a special exception, [`MissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions "discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[plucky shoal]

You can see all possible args here

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command

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

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

    print(data)
    user = data["user"]
    voteEmbed = discord.Embed(title="Voted!", description=f"{user} Just Voted for {bot.user.mention}",color=embedTheme)
    voteEmbed.add_field(name=f"Voter ID", value=f"{user.id}", inline=False)
    voteAnnounce = bot.get_channel(892260693846401054)
    await user.send(f"Thanks For Voting {bot.user.mention} !! You Can get Rewards in Our Official Server")
