[devout quest]

ok

[boreal ravine]

in a repl

[sullen shoal]

so the token is his key?

[gloomy quest]

that doesnt work for years

[devout quest]

finnaly, i done it

ty

[inner girder]

NP

[boreal ravine]

KEY: my_key
VALUE: ur_token

[inner girder]

@devout quest hey

[sullen shoal]

ok thia is confusing

[inner girder]

You should reset your token @sullen shoal has a screenshot of it 😂

[sullen shoal]

so he is getting the token by os.environ[token]

whats the use of environment variables then

[inner girder]

I fixed his problem its ok now

[gloomy quest]

so that no one can see the token

[boreal ravine]

Store your token in the secrets tab and put something as the key and put the token as the value

[sullen shoal]

by keeping the key the token? lol

[boreal ravine]

yes

like a dictionary

[sullen shoal]

so you guys do
{x:x}
to get x where x is the token

[glad sleet]

how i host bot with github+heroku?

[boreal ravine]

my_dict = {
    "TOKEN":"1234567890"
    }
bot.run(my_dict["TOKEN"])
```like this

[inner girder]

0-0_0_=-0

Bruhhhdjdjdjdd

[sullen shoal]

look wht hes doing there

isn't that the token

[inner girder]

It is

[boreal ravine]

it is

[sullen shoal]

if hes already exposing it

[inner girder]

That’s why he should reset his token before someone gets into his bot lmao

[sullen shoal]

why make it an environment variable

[glad sleet]

ez way py client.run("your token")

[boreal ravine]

@devout quest please learn more python before making a bot you obviously dont know how to get a dict's value in this case its the secrets tab.

[inner girder]

That’s not nice

Lol

[boreal ravine]

???

your supposed to learn before making a bot

common sense

[inner girder]

Dude is just trying to start he may need some help, without help you can’t learn that well

[boreal ravine]

we literally spoonfeeded him

[inner girder]

Fair

[glad sleet]

hey help me how i host bot with github + heroku

[sullen shoal]

-> step 1: make a git repo with all of your bot files

-> step 2: go to your heroku account, create a new app (located in US, will get your average bot latency to under 30ms 100% of the time)

-> step 3: go to settings and add python buildpack, then click "Reveal Config Vars" and add your bot token, along with whatever you have in your .env there

-> step 4: go to deploy, select Github, connect your github account, then select your bot's repo

-> step 5: make sure your bot has a `Procfile` which has "worker: python main.py" (or whatever the file that runs your bot is) and a requirements.txt where you have your requirements listed in newlines

-> step 6: go to overview, click Configure Dynos and then click that pencil icon and toggle the button then click Confirm

-> step 7: make sure you have 2 heroku accounts and switch between them at the end of each month (when you get an email from heroku saying that you're running out of dynos, they refresh at the start of each month)

-> step 8: done

@glad sleet

wait i gotta give credit

[boreal ravine]

Give someone a fish, and you'll feed them for a day. Teach someone to fish, and you'll feed them for a lifetime.

Spoon feeding the answers is not in anybody's best interest. If we give you the answer on a silver platter, you'll be back the next day with the same problem without even realizing it's the same problem, because you learned nothing. Helping you understand the logic will help you understand how to arrive at the answer yourself, and will help you be able to write solutions to the same problem yourself in the future. It may seem tedious at present, but in the long run you'll save a lot of time when you don't have to ask for help with it anymore.

:v

[devout quest]

yeh

[sullen shoal]

oh kraots

[inner girder]

lol

[boreal ravine]

#ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

[glad sleet]

hey if i alr put token in repo its work

[sullen shoal]

u asking or telling

[boreal ravine]

yes??

[glad sleet]

oh ty

[boreal ravine]

#ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

[inner girder]

😍😘❤️💕

[sullen shoal]

if its in gitignore then i dont think it will

[glad sleet]

[sullen shoal]

just make .env file there

and put your token as a key

and access it like every other bot does?

[glad sleet]

[inner girder]

uhm uwu owo >~<

Me when running discord bot 🤖

[slate swan]

Stop trolling

[jovial sleet]

i want to learn python discord.

[sullen shoal]

what's python discord

for you

[ionic wadi]

 if message.content.lower() == "discord.gg" and member.author.has_role("Support Team")=False and message.author.bot=False:```

I dont get an error but It doesnt work

[lament mesa]

= used to set a value, == is used to compare

[ionic wadi]

File "/home/container/bot.py", line 89, in on_message
if message.content.lower() == "discord.gg" and member.author.has_role("Support Team")==False and message.author.bot==False:
NameError: name 'member' is not defined

[lament mesa]

Define it.

[ionic wadi]

oh wait message.autor

await coro(*args, **kwargs)
File "/home/container/bot.py", line 89, in on_message
if message.content.lower() == "discord.gg" and message.author.has_role("Support Team")==False and message.author.bot==False:
AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'has_role'

😂 Sorry for that many questions lol

[manic wing]

and "Support Team" in [k.name for k in message.author.roles] ;)

[wintry shore]

!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.

[manic wing]

and then just not in

remove the == False for both

you never do == True or == False

for example, instead of doing

var = True
if var == True:
  print('dont do this')
if var:
  print('instead, do this - same output, but `if` checks for truths')
###### same for false #####
var = False
if var == False:
  print('dont do this')
if not var:
  print('instead, do this - the `not` counters the `True`')```

[meager whale]

Bruh

[boreal ravine]

ur code

has an invisible character

[manic wing]

no

its called mobile coding

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Spotify.title

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Spotify.title

property title: str```
The title of the song being played.

[boreal ravine]

same thing

[maiden fable]

spotify is None meaning no presence @potent jetty

[boreal ravine]

oh

[maiden fable]

Then fix it yourself. Kayle just told u the problem 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

How do I send a message when the URL is sent?

[boreal ravine]

@maiden fable wasnt his

[maiden fable]

U gotta use regex to see if a URL is posted

[maiden fable]

?

[boreal ravine]

wasnt his problem I mean

[maiden fable]

Ah

[manic wing]

no. mobile breaks the code and adds all sorts of stupid shit in saying that there are invalid characters

[maiden fable]

Okay

[manic wing]

#discord-bots message

[maiden fable]

Oh, nvm

Sorry my bad

[inner girder]

E

[boreal ravine]

@potent jetty u dont have spotify activity lol

[meager whale]

Is there any code that can make your Discord bot 24/7 like I tried it with os plugin but it didn't worked so tell me

[hasty iron]

buy a vps

[slate swan]

There's no code, you need a VPS

[slate swan]

Can you tell me how to use regex in discord.py?

[hasty iron]

!d re

[unkempt canyon]

re

Source code: Lib/re.py

This module provides regular expression matching operations similar to those found in Perl.

Both patterns and strings to be searched can be Unicode strings (str) as well as 8-bit strings (bytes). However, Unicode strings and 8-bit strings cannot be mixed: that is, you cannot match a Unicode string with a byte pattern or vice-versa; similarly, when asking for a substitution, the replacement string must be of the same type as both the pattern and the search string.

[slate swan]

Just like normal Python, nothing different

[meager whale]

And what's that

[potent jetty]

virtual private server

[slate swan]

@meager whale

[meager whale]

And what's the cost?

[hasty iron]

how about you check the price yourself

[boreal ravine]

VPSs, hosting

[meager whale]

What

[slate swan]

On ovh iirc it's 4$ per month for the cheapest (the cheapest also has good specs)

Just look by yourself and compare

[vale narwhal]

@bot.listen
async def on_message(message):
   if message.author.id == 650516102488784934:
      channel = bot.get_channel(892821355442106388)
      await message.channel.send("@vale narwhal")

Not even responding

[tawdry perch]

try: channel.send

if you want it to send to specific channel*

[vale narwhal]

If send to the channel that trigger the event?

[tardy lagoon]

Yo

[tawdry perch]

then it should be correct

[tardy lagoon]

Anybody wanna help me make a bot

[tawdry perch]

but, you can just message.author.mention because the message author id is the same as in if statement

[tardy lagoon]

No I mean collabs

[tawdry perch]

I'm kinda open to help creating bot, depending on what it needs to do. I will not be attending any voice channels*

[dim vapor]

is speech to text possible? with any of d.py libs?

[vale narwhal]

I mean uh

Im making the bot ping me when author is blah blah

[tawdry perch]

and you sure do have correct channels id?

[vale narwhal]

Im testing so i use my id

[vale narwhal]

The one you mentioned above is correct

[slate swan]

bot.listen()

[vale narwhal]

But you have any idea making it send to the channel

That trigger the event

[vale narwhal]

No???

[slate swan]

yes

[vale narwhal]

It's working fine without ()

[slate swan]

brackets are not required for events

[vale narwhal]

Alright ima put it in then

[tawdry perch]

await message.channel.send should be correct

try printing anything inside the if statement

[vale narwhal]

Then why it not even send

I removed the channel =

[slate swan]

and you can have the event name inside the brackets py @bot.listen('on_message') async def a_message_listener(message):

[lilac latch]

It is but not just using dpy you need more than just dpy

[lilac latch]

Depends which kind of bot you are planning to make

[dim vapor]

ik but can u like record audio into file which can later be processed with third party speech to text libs

[lilac latch]

I will

[tawdry perch]

you use github as source control?

[lilac latch]

Wait you said speech to text sorry idk bout speech to text I thought it's text to speech

[dim vapor]

ah ok

[lilac latch]

Does dispy have Slash commands?

[boreal ravine]

check the github for that

whats dispy though? discord.py?

[lilac latch]

Yup

[boreal ravine]

afaik it doesn't you can check the github though if you wanna explore more

[lilac latch]

@tardy lagoon

[boreal ravine]

I might be wrong on this ^

[boreal ravine]

you can use forks or 3rd party libraries though

[fleet axle]

I have created a help command with reactions but if I react in one server the messages is also responding in another server any help?

[tawdry perch]

How do you send the message?

[tawdry perch]

Try to specify the channel

[boreal ravine]

reactions are lame

[fleet axle]

okay

[boreal ravine]

use buttons

[fleet axle]

but buttons are not working

[boreal ravine]

😎

[fleet axle]

I have done trying

[boreal ravine]

no such thing as not working

[jade jolt]

it works, just not how you wanted it to

[dusk pumice]

!d discord.TextChannel (For me)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel

class discord.TextChannel```
Represents a Discord guild text channel.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the channel’s hash.

str(x) Returns the channel’s name.

Nuh-uh.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[sullen shoal]

one min

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=wait_for#discord.Client.wait_for

it has a check parameter.

A predicate to check what to wait for. The arguments must meet the parameters of the event being waited for.

[fleet axle]

okay

Thanks

[valid niche]

maybe it's easier to do !d discord.Client.wait_for

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[valid niche]

gives you a nice bit of the docs

[sullen shoal]

yeah

i've my own implementation of it ( i copied the markdown file from python bot's source code but rest was mine)

lol

[slate swan]

How can I get the bot to reply when an image is sent?

[manic wing]

on_message -> if message.attachments

[tardy lagoon]

Yo

I found a nice hosting thingy

Pretty decent

For starting and also free (kinda)

[boreal ravine]

what is it

[tardy lagoon]

Just need to watch ads

10 ads = 1 week

[jade jolt]

bruh

[tardy lagoon]

Lul

[jade jolt]

thats not good lol

[tardy lagoon]

Its short tho

[boreal ravine]

wow

[boreal ravine]

thats actually good

[tardy lagoon]

Some are 5 secs long

[boreal ravine]

look

[tardy lagoon]

At what?

[jade jolt]

you said ur looking

[humble sparrow]

Daym no help in help channel owo

[tardy lagoon]

What help u need?

[humble sparrow]

Do i ask here? Or tell the channel?

[tardy lagoon]

Idk depends
If u need discord bot help

[humble sparrow]

Yes

#help-corn this one am in

[tardy lagoon]

Any hosting u know?

[jade jolt]

GalaxyGate

[tardy lagoon]

Paid?

[jade jolt]

$3 monthly

[tardy lagoon]

E

[jade jolt]

its cheap

[tardy lagoon]

I'll stick to ads for now

[jade jolt]

lol i can host

[tardy lagoon]

Irs not actually 10 ads = week

10 ads = 10 coins = week
Also $1.20 = 250 coins

[hasty iron]

wtf

[jade jolt]

yea

[slate swan]

Even heroku's infinitely better than that 😂

I'll never understand people that use "somehost" or any other free hosting in exchange for ads and they barely get anything good when they could use heroku which is far superior to those and you don't even need to watch some stupid ads nor stay on a website to get "coins" 💀

speaking of free online hosting only

If you know how yeah I don't see why not

I've seen projects that used more than 1 language

[maiden fable]

Only in websites like when using flask and Django

[slate swan]

^

[maiden fable]

U can't mix JS and Python in a Discord Bot

[slate swan]

You can't

[slate swan]

FastAPI ftw

[maiden fable]

Yea that too

[hasty iron]

you can but it’s silly

[maiden fable]

Wait how?

[hasty iron]

run 2 different processes running the same bot token

[astral fossil]

client.run(token)

It keep showing error "missing access"

[maiden fable]

Oh, that way

[boreal ravine]

moderation.js, main.ts, other.rb 🤔

[maiden fable]

That way, I have ran a C# and Python bot

[astral fossil]

Forbidden: 403

[boreal ravine]

did u read the error

it says missing access

[astral fossil]

Idk what the error mean and what to fix

[maiden fable]

U didn't enable the application.commands scope

[slate swan]

?

[astral fossil]

Where do i put it?

[boreal ravine]

^ @astral fossil kick your bot

[astral fossil]

Im very new to slash

[maiden fable]

No

[boreal ravine]

and reinvite it with the "bot" and "application.commands" scopes

[slate swan]

You don't have to kick the bot

[boreal ravine]

really

[maiden fable]

Just click on the invite link again no need to kick

Yea lol

[boreal ravine]

hm

[slate swan]

Replace BOT_ID_HERE with your bot's id and then click the link and select the server, it'll give it the scope without kicking it

https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=BOT_ID_HERE&scope=bot applications.commands&permissions=8589934591

[astral fossil]

Ah ok

@slate swan client id not application id right?

[slate swan]

Client id means your bot's id

[astral fossil]

Ok

Indentation

!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

[dusk pumice]

Can anyone send me the hole code of makeing a role???

I don't understand the docs

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Guild.create_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_role

await create_role(*, name=..., permissions=..., color=..., colour=..., hoist=..., mentionable=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") for the guild.

All fields are optional.

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

Changed in version 1.6: Can now pass `int` to `colour` keyword-only parameter.

[boreal ravine]

whats hard? 🗿

permissions=discord.Permissions(send_messages=True)

await ctx.guild.create_role(name="Python", permissions=permissions, hoist=True, mentionable=True, reason='Just for something')

[dusk pumice]

... Thanks

[dusk pumice]

? edited

[dusk pumice]

How about finding if that role is already in the server?

Do you know that too?

[boreal ravine]

what

[boreal ravine]

fetch the role

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.utils.find "discord.utils.find").

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

Examples

Basic usage...

[dusk pumice]

Oh I already found that out

[boreal ravine]

nice

[dusk pumice]

sorry for not deleting my message.

[boreal ravine]

ok

[maiden fable]

Or just get it...

[dusk pumice]

HAHA yes

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

[maiden fable]

Avoid API Calls

[dusk pumice]

Okay

Thanks for telling me

[maiden fable]

👍

[dusk pumice]

Hunter

I writed the code like this
ctx.guild.roles
Than how can I get only roles name list?

Not ids

[dusk pumice]

Hunter?

if "Python" in ctx.guild.roles:
    await ctx.send("yes")

IT'S JUST A SIMPLE CODE
WHY NOT WORKING

[kindred epoch]

Show the whole code

[dusk pumice]

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  a = str("Python")
  if a in ctx.guild.roles:
    await ctx.send("yes")```

That's all

[maiden fable]

Ah

U need utils.get

[dusk pumice]

Hmm How do I use utills.get?

[maiden fable]

discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=a)

[kindred epoch]

Not sure if ctx.guild.roles returns the name of the roles

[maiden fable]

Returns the list of Role objects

[kindred epoch]

Ye thought so

[dusk pumice]

I put discord too?

[maiden fable]

Well u gotta import it from discord or do that

Just like any other class/function

[zenith ridge]

│   main.py
│
└───src
    ├───cogs
    │       Notes.py
    │      
    └───utilities
            __init__.py
            database.py

My file structure looks like this. How do I import database.py from Notes.py?
Pylint gives an import error when I use from src.utilities import database (This still works but since I get an error I'm guessing there is a 'proper' way)

[maiden fable]

..cogs.notes

[dusk pumice]

Than like??

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  a = str("Python")
  if utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=a):
    await ctx.send("yes")```

[maiden fable]

Yups

Did u do from discord import utils?

[dusk pumice]

I'll try it

[ionic ledge]

async def on_member_join(member):
    print(f'{member.name} has joined the server')
    channel = client.guilds[0].get_channel(89231224129970747613716520)
    print(channel)

dont know why it is not working

[dusk pumice]

I did

from discord.utils import get

and did

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  a = str("Python")
  if utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=a):
    await ctx.send("yes")

but not working

[maiden fable]

Ah

Since u imported get, just do get(ctx.guild.roles...)

[dusk pumice]

Worked thank you very much teacher

[maiden fable]

not a teacher but okay

[ionic ledge]

can u help me too

[maiden fable]

Ah yes. I was seeing your message only haha

[maiden fable]

members intent?

[ionic ledge]

sorry, but what is member intent

[dusk pumice]

#ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

[maiden fable]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[ionic ledge]

so i need to copy this code in my code ,

[maiden fable]

read the embed

[dusk pumice]

And trun on the intent on discord.dev
https://discord.dev

[maiden fable]

Never knew that existed 😐

[ionic ledge]

thanks , i will do and see what happens

import discord
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands
import os
import requests
from alive import alive
client = discord.Client()
intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

@client.event # event is a message in discord
async def on_ready():
  print("bot ready to use")
@client.event
async def on_message(message):#message is a variable
  if message.author==client.user:
    return
  if any(word in message.content.lower().split(' ') for word in ['hi','Hi','hii']):
    emoji = '\N{EYES}'
    await message.add_reaction(emoji)
@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    print(f'{member.name} has joined the server')
    channel = client.guilds[0].get_channel(899970747613716520)
    print(channel)
alive()    
client.run(os.getenv('token'))

so no welcome msg

[slate swan]

you need to pass those intents inside discord.Client

[slate swan]

as in this code

[ionic ledge]

should i give space then

[ionic ledge]

did mean inside the parenthesis

[slate swan]

yea

inside the brackets

[ionic ledge]

ok

[slate swan]

and defined intents before client or you'll recieve an error ...

[ionic ledge]

example?

[slate swan]

see the code in the embed bot sent , am on phone so i can barely type

[ionic ledge]

client = discord.Client(intents = Intents.default()intents.members = True)

i did this

but i get error

[final iron]

Don't use discord.Client use discord.Bot

Also you need to define intents before you pass them in

[slate swan]

discord.Bot aint a thing , its commands.Bot

!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.

[final iron]

Strange how they would do that

[slate swan]

thats not how you define intents ```py
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.mem......

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)```

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot()

I dont see anything strange here?

[final iron]

Thats not what I mean

It doesn't matter

[ionic ledge]

i am confused ,
can someone edit it and just send here so it can send welcome message in the channel

[slate swan]

cant spoonfeed , so i surely aint the 'someone'

[final iron]

^

[slate swan]

this is literally everything you need , just imply the intents..

[ionic ledge]

sorry , i will do it then sensei

[ionic ledge]

thanks

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ionic ledge]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.member
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

change need to be done

[slate swan]

set intents.member to True

= True i.e.

[ionic ledge]

ok

[ionic ledge]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.member=True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

[slate swan]

is perfect

[slate swan]

members

[lusty swallow]

[slate swan]

how do I get a member object using their tag?

[lusty swallow]

you meant user id?

[slate swan]

no

tag

like if I want to convert Azrael#4441 to a member object

how would I do that

[maiden fable]

Either typehint that or use a MemberConverter

!d discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter

class discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter(*args, **kwargs)```
Converts to a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member").

All lookups are via the local guild. If in a DM context, then the lookup is done by the global cache.

The lookup strategy is as follows (in order)...

[slate swan]

can you give an example?

[slate swan]

async def command(member:discord.Member)

[slate swan]

can I do something like async def command(member:discord.Member=None)

[slate swan]

yes you can

alright thanks!

but

let me give you a tip @slate swan

[lusty swallow]

is there any actual reason why you need to look for member using name and discriminator?

[slate swan]

I'm making a rank command

and I want to be able to check others' rank

[lusty swallow]

yeah probably use a member converter

or use actual slash command

[slate swan]

you can use typing.Optional to make member argument an optional argument so you don't need to set None as the default argument

# ...
@commands.command()
async def mycommand(ctx, member:Optional[discord.Member]):
  # member is going to be None if not specified, no errors raised
  # you can set the member to the ctx.author using the following line (if not specified)
  member = member or ctx.author

@slate swan

in your rank command this will be useful since user will be checking their own rank if they don't specify a user

how do i get my bot to instantly delete the response sent with message event

[lusty swallow]

wym by response sent? The command or the reply of the command? or are you using slash

[slate swan]

i mean if i set it as it responds a ceratin sentence to a certain word

[lusty swallow]

can i see your code cause i don't get what you're saying

@slate swan

[slate swan]

yes 1min

  #if "The pokémon is" in message.content:
      #await message.delete()
      embeds = message.embeds # return list of embeds
    #print("tes")
      if not message.embeds:
        await client.process_commands(message)
        return
      title = (embeds[0].to_dict()['title'])
    #print(title)
   
      if "pokémon has appeared" in title:
        hint = ""
        sleep(0.3)
    
          

        
        m = await message.channel.send("@vocal shadow hint")
        

[lusty swallow]

so what part of that do you want help with

[slate swan]

i want @vocal shadow hint to be deleted instantly after it gets sent

[lusty swallow]

doesn't await m.delete() work?

[slate swan]

lemme try

[lusty swallow]

you can add delay=0.1 to the parameters if it doesn't work

[restive pawn]

@bot.command()
async def ban(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    for m in guild.members:
        await m.ban(reason="a")

Missing Permissions error

[lusty swallow]

does the bot have permission to ban?

[slate swan]

i put it below m = await message.channel.send("@vocal shadow hint")` right?

[restive pawn]

yes

[lusty swallow]

yeah

[lusty swallow]

are you sure?

[restive pawn]

yes

[slate swan]

thanks lemme run it

[lusty swallow]

can you paste the traceback too just in case

[dusk dust]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):

    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = "Title",
        description = "Description",
        color = 0x546e7a
    )

    embed.set_author(name=bot.user.name, icon_url=bot.user.avatar_url)
    embed.set_footer(text="text here", icon_url=bot.user.avatar_url)
    embed.add_field(name="name here", value="value here", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="another name here", value="another value here", inline=False)

    msge = await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
    await msge.add_reaction(":gear:")
    await msge.add_reaction(":arrow_right:")```
my bot're spamming the embed and i don't wanna this... some1 can help me fix it?

[lusty swallow]

add if message.author.bot: return below async def ...

[restive pawn]

i do a except: with a print and the bot try to ban his self

[dusk pumice]

How can I make a web dashboard with python?

For my bot

[lusty swallow]

can you check role order. lower can't ban higher

[restive pawn]

ok

[zenith zinc]

for what?

[dusk dust]

thank u! that work

[lusty swallow]

most people study web dev or graphics first

[dusk pumice]

Okie

[slate swan]

thanks alot works all good

[errant shuttle]

Hey, i created a program to gt all roles from the server and find the muted role but it is always sending me "I didnt find the muted role :(`
Here is my code

@client.command()
async def roles(ctx):
    found_muted_role = False
    for roles in ctx.guild.roles:
        if roles == "muted".lower() or roles == "mute".lower() or roles == "muted members".lower() or roles == "muted users".lower() or roles == "muted people".lower():
            found_muted_role = True
            break
        else:
            pass

    if found_muted_role == True:
        await ctx.reply("I found a muted role!")
    else:
        await ctx.reply("I didn't find a muted role :(")

Please tell me what is wrong in my code.

[lusty swallow]

change

        if roles == "muted".lower() or roles == "mute".lower() or roles == "muted members".lower() or roles == "muted users".lower() or roles == "muted people".lower():

to

        if roles.name == "muted".lower() or roles.name == "mute".lower() or roles.name == "muted members".lower() or roles.name == "muted users".lower() or roles.name == "muted people".lower():

[errant shuttle]

oh ok

[restive pawn]

how?

[lusty swallow]

or just do

    if roles.name in ['mute', 'muted', ...]

[errant shuttle]

ok

[visual island]

why do you need the .lower() tho?

[errant shuttle]

that would be easier i suppose

[errant shuttle]

i thot discord is case sensitive

[lusty swallow]

it's the opposite

you need to lower the role name

[errant shuttle]

wdym?

[errant shuttle]

hey thanks, this worked!

[lusty swallow]

    if roles.name.lower() in ['mute', 'muted', ...]

use this method

@errant shuttle

[errant shuttle]

yeah using

[lusty swallow]

[errant shuttle]

hmmmm
this method is not working after I changed muted to muteD

if roles.name in ["muted".lower(), "mute".lower(), "muted members".lower(), "muted users".lower(), "muted people".lower()]:

oh wait

i think i got it

[slate swan]

Why do you lower already lowered stings

Maybe you can explain that

why .lower() when all of them are already lowered

[errant shuttle]

ye i just found my flaw

[slate swan]

hm

And roles.name won't work

[errant shuttle]

yep i fixed it
here is the code now 🙂

if roles.name.lower() in ["muted", "mute", "muted members", "muted users", "muted people"]:

[slate swan]

You need to iterate through each role in roles and check if role.name is in your list

[errant shuttle]

ik
i already did that

[slate swan]

Then make the loop

You didn't

[dusk dust]

after i did it the bot replied all messages with the embed

[slate swan]

roles.name will give an error

[errant shuttle]

bruh here is the full code

@client.command()
async def roles(ctx):
    found_muted_role = False
    for roles in ctx.guild.roles:
        if roles.name.lower() in ["muted", "mute", "muted members", "muted users", "muted people"]:
            found_muted_role = True
            break
        else:
            pass

    if found_muted_role == True:
        await ctx.reply("I found a muted role!")
    else:
        await ctx.reply("I didn't find a muted role :(")

and it works

[slate swan]

Why do you name the variable roles when it's one role

[ionic wadi]

File "/home/container/bot.py", line 537
@commands.command()
IndentationError: unexpected unindent

This should be correct right?

[slate swan]

You normally do

for item in items

[lusty swallow]

wym?

[slate swan]

Since it's an item in the items list

[slate swan]

!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

[errant shuttle]

oh yeah i forgot to change that. at first i was trying to send all the roles on the server so i used plural

[slate swan]

mmh, makes sense

[errant shuttle]

ok so now i have to edit a role........ lemme check the docs

[slate swan]

!d discord.Role.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.edit

await edit(*, name=..., permissions=..., colour=..., color=..., hoist=..., mentionable=..., position=..., reason=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the role.

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.

All fields are optional.

Changed in version 1.4: Can now pass `int` to `colour` keyword-only parameter.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited role is returned instead.

[errant shuttle]

oooooh thx

[lusty swallow]

isn't that what your code is doing?

[ionic wadi]

I dont have any wrong idents

indents

[slate swan]

You do

The error doesn't lie :p

[lusty swallow]

can you share the code?

might also be a unclosed parenthesis or floating if

[slate swan]

!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.

[errant shuttle]

tru

[dusk dust]

i can send a video in ur dm?

[lusty swallow]

nah

just tell me what you intend to do

[boreal ravine]

why is the bot checking for every message?

[dusk dust]

idk 😦

[boreal ravine]

you should at least check for something in the message

to prevent it from doing that

[lusty swallow]

you should utilize commands

[slate swan]

according to this code ,bot sends the embed for every message it recieves

[dusk dust]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.bot: return

    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = "title",
        description = "description",
        color = 0x546e7a
    )

    embed.set_author(name=bot.user.name, icon_url=bot.user.avatar_url)
    embed.set_footer(text="text here", icon_url=bot.user.avatar_url)
    embed.add_field(name="name here", value="value here", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="another name here", value="another value here", inline=False)

    embed2 = discord.Embed(
        title = "title 2",
        description = "description 2",
        color = 0x546e7a
    )

    embed2.set_author(name=bot.user.name, icon_url=bot.user.avatar_url)
    embed2.set_footer(text="text", icon_url=bot.user.avatar_url)
    embed2.add_field(name="name", value="value", inline=False)
    embed2.add_field(name="other name", value="other value", inline=False)

    msge = await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
    await msge.add_reaction("⚙️")
    await msge.add_reaction("➡️")

    if message.reaction == "➡️":
        msge.edit(embed2)```

basically I wanted to make it: when the user reacted to the embed, the message was edited, however, it resulted in this

[slate swan]

use an if statement , py if message.content.startswith('<prefix>help') ......

or use the command handler ( commands.Bot)

[dusk dust]

this not a command... when the user ping the bot he return the embed and the reactions

[slate swan]

in that case too

you would check if the bot is mentioned or not

[dusk dust]

ok

[lusty swallow]

you should do
if bot.user in message.mentions

[slate swan]

^ yeah thats the most preferable thing to do

[dusk dust]

below the async def?

[lusty swallow]

depends

all or most programming lanugage follows the code from top to bottom. Where do you think that should go?

[dusk dust]

below the if "message.author.bot: return" why does this command don't get spamming

[slate swan]

pls tale

wtf

@lusty swallow

[lusty swallow]

???

[boreal ravine]

ur supposed to only do "prefixes.json" iirc

not the whole directory

[lusty swallow]

can you try making sure you use , and not some weird comma?

[slate swan]

with open("C:\Users\masle\PycharmProjects\LinaBot\prefixes.json") as f:

?

[boreal ravine]

uhm try
with open("prefixes.json") as f:

wait

@slate swan u sure thats a comma?

WAIT

hm

[steep estuary]

how to add emojis ?

[lusty swallow]

with open(r"C:\Users\masle\PycharmProjects\LinaBot\prefixes.json") as f:

try this

[boreal ravine]

u need a mode iirc

[lusty swallow]

like react?

[lusty swallow]

the default is read only

[boreal ravine]

hm

[lusty swallow]

are you sure the path is even right

[steep estuary]

no, how to add emoji sent by a user?

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.PartialEmoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PartialEmoji

class discord.PartialEmoji```
Represents a “partial” emoji.

This model will be given in two scenarios:

• “Raw” data events such as [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add")

• Custom emoji that the bot cannot see from e.g. [`Message.reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message.reactions "discord.Message.reactions")...

[boreal ravine]

iirc ^

[steep estuary]

what this do ?

[boreal ravine]

read it

[steep estuary]

ohh let me check

[boreal ravine]

more context pls

[steep estuary]

??

[slate swan]

?

[boreal ravine]

what're u tryna do

more context pls

[steep estuary]

i want to add emoji

in server

upload*

[lusty swallow]

like to react?

ohhh, the bot has to add guild emoji to the guild?

[boreal ravine]

give command example or something

[lament mesa]

!d discord.Guild.create_custom_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_custom\_emoji

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

Creates a custom [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji") for the guild.

There is currently a limit of 50 static and animated emojis respectively per guild, unless the guild has the `MORE_EMOJI` feature which extends the limit to 200.

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

[steep estuary]

i know this but how i can add a image as a emoji in server

[steep estuary]

@bot.command()
async def addemoji(ctx, name: Optional[str]=None):
    if name is None:
        await ctx.send(f"Please Enter a Name for your Emoji")
        def check(message):
            return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel
        try:
            name = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check, timeout=30)
        except:
            await ctx.send(f"Your Time for Sending Name of the Emoji has Ended")
            return False

    await ctx.send(f"Please Send the Emoji itself here!")
    try:
        def check(message):
            return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel
        emoji = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check, timeout=30)
    except:
        await ctx.send(f"Your 30 Seconds for Sending the Emoji has Ended")
        return False

[boreal ravine]

is it a link or something

[steep estuary]

no

a image or emoji

or animated emoji or gif

[kindred epoch]

You can do name as name: discord.Emoji

It's something like that

[steep estuary]

why name ?

[kindred epoch]

Oh wait lmao

[steep estuary]

?

[kindred epoch]

Instead of waiting for it, you can tell them to add it into the command

[steep estuary]

??

[hasty iron]

huh?

[dapper cobalt]

But you can do:

import requests

@bot.command()
async def addemoji(ctx, emoji:discord.Emoji, *, name):
  r = requests.get(emoji.url)
  await ctx.guild.create_custom_emoji(r.text)

[steep estuary]

how i can add a emoji in a server?

[reef shell]

Why requests

[hasty iron]

why requests

[reef shell]

use aiohttp

[hasty iron]

also r.text won’t work

you need r.content

image takes in bytes not str

[dapper cobalt]

Quick solution I have to go.

[reef shell]

ut takes in bytes

[steep estuary]

how ?

[hasty iron]

not a url

send a get request to that url

and read its body as bytes

[steep estuary]

not only url it is also showing that if giving a emoji

[hasty iron]

what

i said it takes in bytes

[reef shell]

!d aiohttp.ClientSession.get

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp.ClientSession.get

coroutine async-with get(url, *, allow_redirects=True, **kwargs)```
Perform a `GET` request.

In order to modify inner `request` parameters, provide kwargs.

[hasty iron]

!d aiohttp.ClientResponse.read

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp.ClientResponse.read

coroutine read()```
Read the whole response’s body as [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "(in Python v3.9)").

Close underlying connection if data reading gets an error, release connection otherwise.

Raise an [`aiohttp.ClientResponseError`](https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/client_reference.html#aiohttp.ClientResponseError "aiohttp.ClientResponseError") if the data can’t be read.

[reef shell]

U need both of these

First one for a get request, 2nd one for reading the content

[steep estuary]

i never used aiohttp anytime before :/

[hasty iron]

they have examples in their docs

[steep estuary]

ok

[slate swan]

Whats the line for when you use a command it deletes the command message

[lament mesa]

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you need the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[slate swan]

Thank you

How do I get a bot to join a specified voice channel?

[boreal ravine]

gst the channel then join it

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.connect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.connect

await connect(*, timeout=60.0, reconnect=True, cls=<class 'discord.voice_client.VoiceClient'>)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Connects to voice and creates a [`VoiceClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceClient "discord.VoiceClient") to establish your connection to the voice server.

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

[uncut comet]

hello has anyone got any experience with Cogwatch? im having issues getting it to work path='commands': Root name of the cogs directory; cogwatch will only watch within this directory -- recursively. does this mean that i need to set the name to the folder name where the cogs are contained?

[slate swan]

that makes no sense btw

no point in "somelowercasestring".lower()

[uncut comet]

anyone know of a good method to reload cogs after they have been edited without restarting the bot?

[rustic onyx]

when a webhook sends a message, will the bot consider it for an on_message?

[slate swan]

Yes?

[rustic onyx]

ok thanks

[slate swan]

len(role members)

how do you delete a message after its executed

I did

await delete(*, delay=None) 

but it says delete is not defined

[rustic onyx]

how can I avoid the bot from performing something if the one who triggered the command was the same bot

I was thinking doing if message.author != (bot author):

[slate swan]

wym called?

[rustic onyx]

but idk what should I write in (bot author)

[slate swan]

bots won't run commands by other bots/themselves

[slate swan]

When the command is executed sorry

[slate swan]

await ctx.message.delete()

[rustic onyx]

its just an example, since I want to make an @everyone when someone sends a message in a particular channel

[slate swan]

Thank you

[silk epoch]

hello why I test to start a python program it not work but work to start with cmd ?

[rustic onyx]

but not when the bot sends the mssage

[slate swan]

bot author you want to get the bot user itself right?

[rustic onyx]

yeah

I just do bot.user?

[slate swan]

yes

[rustic onyx]

cool

[slate swan]

if in a cog, self.bot.user

[rustic onyx]

thanks

yup

thanks 🙂

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

what do you mean?

[uncut comet]

anyone know of a good method to reload cogs after they have been edited without restarting the bot?

[reef shell]

reload the extension

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload\_extension

reload_extension(name, *, package=None)```
Atomically reloads an extension.

This replaces the extension with the same extension, only refreshed. This is equivalent to a [`unload_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension") followed by a [`load_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension") except done in an atomic way. That is, if an operation fails mid-reload then the bot will roll-back to the prior working state.

[uncut comet]

have you got a link/example

ah thanks

[slate swan]

Hey here is my code for locking and unlocking

However I noticed this in audits today that shows the bot reset the reactions perms why is that?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/789809104738189342/900064588618432522/unknown.png

[maiden fable]

BTW @slate swan

Do u know something?

[slate swan]

Hm?

[maiden fable]

Think what would happen if someone uses the unlock command in staff channel(s)

[slate swan]

Nothing?

lol

[maiden fable]

You sure?

[slate swan]

Yes

[maiden fable]

Now think

[slate swan]

Yes nothing will happen lmao

It all depends on how your perms are setup

[maiden fable]

Won't it allow everyone to see the channel

[slate swan]

No! Its editing the send message perms not the view channel perms

[maiden fable]

Oh hmm mb

[slate swan]

the view channel perms is disabled for everyone and enabled for staff roles

[maiden fable]

Anyways as for your question...

Just make a dict and map it like channel-id: old-perms and update it whenever the lock command is used. when an unlock cmd is used, just read from that dict and delete the dict key if the unlock is successful. This is the safest way imho

[vocal plover]

It's only safe until your bot restarts halfway through a lockdown

[maiden fable]

Lmao true

(That happened once with me and Dyno with a mute cmd)

I muted about 10 ppl but Dyno restarted in the meantime and RIP those ppl

[reef shell]

dyno and carl bot goes offline when you need them most

[maiden fable]

True

[slate swan]

key error occured while getting '815358648225366037', you should handle this
also you might've stored IDs as integers so it can't retrieve from '815358648225366037' as its a string

[valid niche]

Dyno uses a database for that no?

at least they should be now, if they aren't shame on them

[slate swan]

I think so too, lol

[valid niche]

like even in my bot i use a database for all infractions, including mutes

[maiden fable]

idk but i had to unmute manually 🤷‍♂️

[hasty iron]

[tawdry perch]

I see, yes it is

[errant shuttle]

bruh i fixed it already

guys, how do i create a role on nextcord?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.create_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_role

await create_role(*, name=..., permissions=..., color=..., colour=..., hoist=..., mentionable=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") for the guild.

All fields are optional.

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

Changed in version 1.6: Can now pass `int` to `colour` keyword-only parameter.

[dapper cobalt]

You don't. You use disnake because it's better.

[valid niche]

be lazy, use asyncio.run to let it make an event loop for you

[maiden fable]

I have done it, but now I want to make it so that it runs a coro when the instance of the class is made :c

[valid niche]

oh you want to run an async function upon init?

[maiden fable]

Mhm

Any ideas?

I cannot call asyncio.run() from a running loop so it is a bummer

[valid niche]

use async definded classmethod?

[maiden fable]

and?

[ionic pebble]

Did that one discord.py library go out of existence like the developer said it was going to

[maiden fable]

Where will I run it?

[valid niche]

discord.py is staying

just no more updates

before it breaks we'll be in march 2022

[ionic pebble]

what are people moving to? or is it being forked

[maiden fable]

Nah it won't break

!d discord.Intents.messages

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.messages

Whether guild and direct message related events are enabled.

This is a shortcut to set or get both guild_messages and dm_messages.

This corresponds to the following events...

[ionic pebble]

it will break if people don't switch to slash commands though?

[valid niche]

i'm currently working on a new library together with a few others, still massively WIP

[maiden fable]

dpy forks like disnake
or custom libs like disthon and stuff

[maiden fable]

yea saw it. At least it has a cleaner code and a better source code where u define events

[valid niche]

discord.py doesn't have slash commands, and in 2022 discord will make message content a privileged intent. Due to the fact danny no longer will be making updates this intent will cause the library to actually break

[valid niche]

disthon isn't a fork

[maiden fable]

Mb lemme edit it

[valid niche]

it's made from scratch

[maiden fable]

There

[valid niche]

thanks :D

[maiden fable]

Forgot about that

Anyways do u know

How to run the async function now

[valid niche]

but yeah because we rewrite it will be a lot longer before we got it fully up and running, where forks could almost instantly spring into action

[maiden fable]

Mhm

[valid niche]

yes an async classmethod would be the cleanest

copying a SO example

import asyncio

dsn = "..."

class Foo(object):
    @classmethod
    async def create(cls, settings):
        self = Foo()
        self.settings = settings
        self.pool = await create_pool(dsn)
        return self

async def main(settings):
    settings = "..."
    foo = await Foo.create(settings)

[maiden fable]

Oh hmm

[hollow agate]

async def mute(ctx, user : discord.Member, duration = 0,*,unit = None):``` Anyway to make this work with `.mute @Someone#0171 10s`?

[valid niche]

you need to catch it as a string, and run regex on it

i have a regex set if you want, I don't mind others using it

[hollow agate]

Yes, please!

[valid niche]

it is sad that danny quit at a bit of an "annoying" time, due to the fact that discord is soon going to enforce slash commands to bigger bots, meaning libraries have little time to take over.

Although finally having a huge change in the library market is also a good sthing

It can be good thing, a lot of new developers (most of them using the existing code). Cons atm is that most of them suck (the libs)

i did take a bit of inspiration from dpy for how to do it, but we've chosen to make the @event decorator ALWAYS be a listener so you don't have that on_message mess with commands that dpy has

if you do

Anyone know the behaviour to make a bot paste the hyperlink and then also paste out the preview embed that would normally happen for when users paste links. For example posting a link to a tweet, shows you what the tweet says - but when my bot posts the same link, no embed with what the tweet says is posted.

probably the bot doesn’t have embed permissions
