[visual island]

not 10 seconds

[shell bear]

i try

[brave vessel]

Oh it’s not working because you forgot to start the task

[shell bear]

i did start it

i wait for a minute now

to see if it changes

[brave vessel]

usually you have to start the task like this, in on_ready

@client.event
async def on_ready(): # let's see if the bot is up
  if not change_status.is_running(): # making sure it hasn't started yet
    change_status.start()

this needs to be defined under the tasks.loop

I would also recommend cycle, as above, so you don't run into an error when you reach the end

[shell bear]

oh ok

1 sec

trying again rn

dont think it worked

[brave vessel]

Any errors? What’s your code? (Exclude the token)

[shell bear]

ok

no errors

[brave vessel]

You won’t need the client.wait_until_ready

[shell bear]

ok

wait 1 minute to see if worked

it only says playing status 1

;-;

should i use the other cycle thing

discord.errors.HTTPException: 429 Too Many Requests (error code: 0): You are being blocked from accessing our API temporarily due to exceeding our rate limits frequently. Please read our docs at https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits to prevent this moving forward.

WHAT DOES THESE EVEN MEAN??

like bruh

[final iron]

You're sending way too many requests

[slate swan]

wdym?

what requests?

to run the bot?

[final iron]

Are you hosting on repl?

[slate swan]

yes

lol

but I havent been on this repl since yesterday

[final iron]

IP addresses that make too many invalid HTTP requests are automatically and temporarily restricted from accessing the Discord API. Currently, this limit is 10,000 per 10 minutes. An invalid request is one that results in 401, 403, or 429 statuses.

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits

[boreal ravine]

sometimes you just need to read the error to understand

[slate swan]

I read it but like

[boreal ravine]

dont use replit

replit uses a shared IP thats why your getting rate limited

@slate swan

[lilac latch]

How to check if a user is present in a server

[slate swan]

yes but how do I host it 24/7 through things like VSC

[final iron]

Use a paid service or self host

[slate swan]

I dont really want to pay for it

whats a self host?

[final iron]

You host it locally on your own machine

[slate swan]

just run it on my computer all the time

or in the background, idk

[final iron]

Better than not being able to run your bot at all

[boreal ravine]

meaning?

[slate swan]

I have a data base of urls that I want to have automatically delete when sent what is the best way of doing this

[final iron]

You should also consider if people are actually using your bot

[boreal ravine]

you don't, you can't

[slate swan]

how do I run it in the background without having the app open??

is that possible?

[final iron]

No

[slate swan]

I mean in can run and be open but not show on my bar

[lilac latch]

Like I want my bot to check if my 2nd bot is present in the server if it is I don't want it to respond but if it is not I want it to send a message

[slate swan]

?

[boreal ravine]

hm idk

[valid perch]

if any(url in message.content for url in list_of_urls):

[lilac latch]

....

[valid perch]

if my_other_bot_id in [m.id for m in guild.members]:
  print("Woah my bots here")

Im sure you can figure the rest

[lilac latch]

Thanks

[slate swan]

thanks

[gloomy coral]

Hello

what is the best buttons library compatible with nextcord

also is discord-slash compatible with it

[boreal ravine]

if your using a 2.0 fork that has buttons use it dont use 3rd party libs + forks

[slate swan]

nextcord doesnt yet

[boreal ravine]

it was an example

[boreal ravine]

doesnt what

[slate swan]

have buttons built in

[valid perch]

I'm not spoonfeeding you it all. Figure out where to get a guild from whereever your using your code

[gloomy coral]

?

[boreal ravine]

it does though

[gloomy coral]

They do

[shrewd pasture]

how would i run through all banned users to unban them all

[gloomy coral]

but i want a better buttons library with extensive documentation and users using it so they may have the same bugs

[shrewd pasture]

lemme go check

[boreal ravine]

a for loop

[slate swan]

https://readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=buttons#nextcord.Activity.buttons

[boreal ravine]

you can view the examples + documentation

[gloomy coral]

of nextcord?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[gloomy coral]

isnt there any other way?

[boreal ravine]

theres literally an examples file

in the source files of the fork

[gloomy coral]

I know but i havent migrated to nextcord yet... I plan to soon

Till then which button library can i use

[valid perch]

So why are you talking about nextcord then?

Are you on dpy?

1.7? 2.0?

[boreal ravine]

hm

[slate swan]

would this work for a dictionary

[gloomy coral]

sorry my bad

but can you suggest a buttons libary please?

[gloomy coral]

so tht it will work with nextcord then also, i dont have to change my code

for now i strictly need a third party library

[final iron]

Discord.py master

[gloomy coral]

uh.....?

[valid perch]

Use any 2.0 version for buttons

[gloomy coral]

ok

[valid perch]

You can do dict comprehension as well

Im not sure of third party libs for it though

[boreal ravine]

3rd party libs are buggy

[gloomy coral]

ok

im gonna use discord_buttons tho

cuz why not

[boreal ravine]

nice

[slate swan]

im sorry what does that mean

[shrewd pasture]

i cant figure out how to unban all users in a dsicord

please someone help me out

it wont let me unban via id either

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
@has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def unban(ctx, userId: discord.User.id):
  user = get(id=userId)
  await ctx.guild.unban(user)

im not going to waste your time please try to make sense of what that says though

so you don't have to ask again

[gloomy coral]

GUYS

HELP

[slate swan]

yeah

[gloomy coral]

I took advice from y'all and used nextcord

[slate swan]

mhm

[gloomy coral]

problem is i have like 100 discord-slash slashcommands

AND THEY ALL IMPORT DISCORD AND DISCORD EXT

[slate swan]

bruh

does not nextcord has inbuilt slash commands?

it does

[slate swan]

oh nvm

[gloomy coral]

it doesnt

i cant find

[slate swan]

i read it ban

[gloomy coral]

but more importantly I cant rewrite so many lines of code

there must be an easier way

[slate swan]

it doesnt

have it

you can stilll use discord-slash

[slate swan]

well the discord_slash library is meant only to use with discord.py

does not nextcord rename the library ( itself )as discord?

you just have to change every instance of discord.something to nextcord.something

[gloomy coral]

it shld

[gloomy coral]

sad

[shrewd pasture]

unban all command i know how to do that

[gloomy coral]

how can i use the same setup then on another pc

[shrewd pasture]

its igving random errors

[slate swan]

https://txtformat.com/

you can replace all the discords here

[slate swan]

iterate thru the ban list , and use .unban

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

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

Retrieves all the users that are banned from the guild as a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

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

[slate swan]

how do you access audit logs through bot to look for certain events

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.AuditLogAction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AuditLogAction

class discord.AuditLogAction```
Represents the type of action being done for a [`AuditLogEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AuditLogEntry "discord.AuditLogEntry"), which is retrievable via [`Guild.audit_logs()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.audit_logs "discord.Guild.audit_logs").

[slate swan]

heres some random code I found in the docs

async for entry in guild.audit_logs(action=discord.AuditLogAction.ban):
    print(f'{entry.user} banned {entry.target}')

so you would change the AuditLogAction.ban to a different action

[valid perch]

Nextcord works with the discord namespace. Install discord slash. Pip uninstall discord.py. pip install nextcord

[gloomy coral]

i did tht

it shows error everywhere discord is imported

[slate swan]

can someone help me with purge

chzz = guild.get_channel(887043608308514889)
await chzz.purge(limit=200)```

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

however if I use it under a command it works with ctx like:

await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)```

[gloomy coral]

basically it cldnt get channel

ig its bot.get_channel

[slate swan]

could yall check #help-peanut

its about discord.py

dang you're right! @gloomy coral I messed up the channel id.. haha thank you so much

[gloomy coral]

xD

[boreal ravine]

module problem ig

[urban star]

What is f-st

f-str*

[brazen raft]

!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.

[gloomy coral]

ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.wordgames' raised an error: AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Message'

Help

i am using nextcord but it shld work right

[brazen raft]

Why do you use this directly?

What are you trying to do?

[slate swan]

what was the code for the process_commands thing

[vagrant brook]

await bot.process_commands(message)

Also next time you should probably search on docs

[slate swan]

its much easier to ask people then search through docs that make no sense to me

my code still dosnt work

[brazen raft]

Well but the docs for discord.py have a search bar and examples

[slate swan]

or atleast commands don't

[brazen raft]

Maybe you're returning before it reaches it?

[slate swan]

im not going to get into an arguement I just can't comprehend what I read

[slate swan]

no returns

[brazen raft]

It's in an on_message event, right?

[slate swan]

yeah

[brazen raft]

Do you have any other on_message somewhere?

[slate swan]

nope

[brazen raft]

Oh. Is your bot in 75+ servers & unverified?

[slate swan]

its in 2

the actual command works the other ones dont

Indent the process commands out of your for loop

ok

it worked thanks and that the end of my bot

[brazen raft]

👍

[slate swan]

actually nah ima add a really suffisticated logging system that logs everything

[late dock]

How to run 2 python file at the same time? One will be how bot run, and one is handling command

[slate swan]

What? Just run your main bot file and use cogs for commands and event listeners

[late dock]

How to do that?

I want to run main file, but the command on other file

[slate swan]

Create cogs

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html

[boreal ravine]

how do I remove this from the help command?

[slate swan]

With the hidden=True kwarg

[boreal ravine]

where do I put that

[slate swan]

In your command decorator..

And you need to make your own help commend

[boreal ravine]

no im using the default help command

[boreal ravine]

the default one is already good

[slate swan]

Well apparently get_command is a thing

So get the help command and set the hidden argument to true I guess

[boreal ravine]

hm

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_command

get_command(name)```
Get a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") from the internal list of commands.

This could also be used as a way to get aliases.

The name could be fully qualified (e.g. `'foo bar'`) will get the subcommand `bar` of the group command `foo`. If a subcommand is not found then `None` is returned just as usual.

[boreal ravine]

How would I edit it though

[slate swan]

Like any normal object editing

x.y = z

[spiral frigate]

how to get such an ID from such a value <@&ID>

<@&ID> -> ID

[slate swan]

Why do you need that

[spiral frigate]

find out the ID of the specified user

[slate swan]

And where do you use that

[spiral frigate]

in the command

[slate swan]

Team?

use the strip function.

Type hint the command argument to discord.Member

Then you can simply use .id

[spiral frigate]

it does not output like that writes an error

[slate swan]

Then show error and code?

!e py stripped = '<@&1234556>'.strip('<@&>') print(stripped)

[spiral frigate]

lol they are typehinting it as discord.Member and pinging a role , gg

You know that <@&id> is a role mention and not member mention right?

You mentioned a role when using the command

[spiral frigate]

I'm an idiot didn't know

[ocean leaf]

is it the correct way to do this? I want to make a database of all reaction roles and it's role id but instead of creating another json obj, it edits the existing one. How can i make it create a separate json obj for all reaction emoji and roles?

[slate swan]

https://blog.finxter.com/how-to-append-data-to-a-json-file-in-python/

[boreal ravine]

cringe json

[ocean leaf]

i could've used sql but it is a small thing so it is fine

[ocean leaf]

lemme check it out

[maiden fable]

Read the JSON file
Save the dict in a variable
Append the new record to the dict
Open in write mode and just save the new dict to the json

[slate swan]

I just did something called ✨ searching ✨ and sent the first link I got as result

[ocean leaf]

nice XD

[slate swan]

Might want to try it out sometimes

[ocean leaf]

i didn't get the correct keyword in by brain at that time maybe thats why i dodnt got the result required

now i remember the keyword is "append"

i have to learn searching

thanks for the link btw

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=Embed.Empty, color=Embed.Empty, title=Embed.Empty, type='rich', url=Embed.Empty, description=Embed.Empty, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

i wanna create a new json obj

i want to append data in the json file inside a different {}

[tough wagon]

dict[index] = value

[ocean leaf]

for me?

[tough wagon]

yes

in json there is only one {} that can contain more data

[boreal ravine]

why not use a proper db (unrelated)

[tough wagon]

like { 'bruh': 182, 'lol': { 'bruhy': 1 } }

[ocean leaf]

which one?

[ocean leaf]

how can i do that?

[ocean leaf]

ok

lemme try

[tough wagon]

data = get_json_data
data[message.id] = {'role_id': role_id, ...}```

[ocean leaf]

can u pls give me another example of what and how to do that?

[tough wagon]

can be like that

[ocean leaf]

get_json_data will be a func?

[tough wagon]

get_json_data is a dict with all that is in json file

[ocean leaf]

oh got it

[tough wagon]

i already forgot how to get that dict form json)

wait

[brave ravine]

is there a reason behind bots not being able to have rich presence images?

[boreal ravine]

you mean why bots cant have rich presences?

[brave ravine]

ya

they technically do have a rich presence, but its just "playing __" for example

without an image

[boreal ravine]

well have you tried testing it on your bot using an rpc maybe before asking here

[brave ravine]

that was not my question

[boreal ravine]

I think u can but im not sure

i know

[boreal ravine]

its kinda like self botting though imo

[brave ravine]

makes sense

kinda wish it was built into discord.py cause i wanna customize my personal bots more

[edgy trellis]

what loop don't cause commands to not works and is not infinite(you can set how many times it will be repeated)?

[brave ravine]

this kind of loop

for x in range(0, 5):
  do something```

[edgy trellis]

will it freeze ability to use commands like while loop?

[brave ravine]

yes thats how loops work

[slate swan]

how can you send message to a user using their ids

[brave ravine]

possible (thanks to the people that corrected me, taught me something new)

u can send a message to a user who used a command tho

[tough wagon]

possible

[brave ravine]

thats what i did for a few of my bots help commands so that they didnt clutter chats

[tough wagon]

get by id

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_user

get_user(id, /)```
Returns a user with the given ID.

[boreal ravine]

save that in a variable

then send it

[tough wagon]

lol bruh

[vale narwhal]

How do i convert time to timestamp i tried the datetime to timestamp one but have no idea how to convert the "time" to timestamp

date_string = "10/26/2021"
date = datetime.datetime.strptime(date_string, "%m/%d/%Y")
timestamp = datetime.datetime.timestamp(date)
await ctx.send(f"<t:{round(timestamp)}:R>")

[tough wagon]

not here

#python-discussion

[vale narwhal]

Time i mean is like "10:00" or smth im trying to do timestamp

[vale narwhal]

Im trying to do the discord timestamp one

That's why im asking here

[tough wagon]

yes but you need a number like 120958235 that you are converting from datetime

so not here

it could be related to this channel if you asked like how to make timestamp

[vale narwhal]

Alright then

[slate swan]

In user_id: Value "<built-in function id>" is not snowflake.
i am using await bot.fetch_user(id)

[tough wagon]

more code pls

[urban star]

How can I use rich presence?

With dpy

[boreal ravine]

how would I set my help command in a cog (im using the default one just editing it)?

[tough wagon]

first 3 lines are init of cog

Help() = your help command

[boreal ravine]

ty

[urban star]

Anyone?

[tough wagon]

noway

[urban star]

Why

[tough wagon]

you think i know?

[urban star]

There is a code but I can't find it

[tough wagon]

@discord-developers WHY BOTS CANT USE RICH PRESENCE

[urban star]

I didn't say YOU know it

[tough wagon]

ok

[urban star]

Just mean if anyone knows it

[tough wagon]

@strong ibex whyyy

that's not the error lol

[slate swan]

its a game

and in the next function im getting the counter value

ik its not

[spring zealot]

ok but what was the error that came

[keen talon]

share error

[tough wagon]

not he asked bruh

[tough wagon]

what is your error

[late dock]

TypeError: Aliases of a command must be a list or a tuple of strings.

[tough wagon]

how do you define command

[slate swan]

self explanatory

[tough wagon]

like decorator @commands.command

[spring zealot]

doesnt look like it's related with the game code

[keen talon]

remove the random.choice thingy

[tough wagon]

bruh no

[spring zealot]

no it looks like they defined the command wrong

[tough wagon]

it's not related to aliases

[late dock]

But i need to give random list

[spring zealot]

send full command definition

including decorators

[keen talon]

sorry wrong ping lol

[spring zealot]

aliases needs to be a list

[tough wagon]

aliases=['grassBlock']

[spring zealot]

if u want only 1 alias just put the alias in a list

[spring zealot]

like this

[keen talon]

ctx.author.mention

[late dock]

Oh I'm dumb

I though it was my random

[spring zealot]

that code looks fine

[slate swan]

??

[late dock]

Ok it work

[celest cobalt]

code:

@client.command()
async def server(ctx, *, args):
    username = ctx.message.author
    bprint.info(f"{username} used the 'server' command")

    if args.lower() == "info":

        content = "info!"

    elif args.lower() == "start":
        bprint.info(f"{username} used the 'server - start' command")
        content = "start!"

    else:
        content = "else??"

    await ctx.send(content)

problem: If someone only uses $server with no args it spits out an args error. But I want it so that a error msg appears in chat. How could I do that?

[slate swan]

@client.command(pass_context=True)

[spring zealot]

it looks like u did ctx.mention

[slate swan]

shit

[tough wagon]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

my bad

[spring zealot]

you need to get the author, so that's ctx.author

[slate swan]

arg.mention

[tough wagon]

ok arg

[spring zealot]

ctx.author is the author of the message
if you want their mention, it's ctx.author.mention

[celest cobalt]

Could any1 help me?

[tough wagon]

he said arg.mention, look he have arg: discord.Member argument?

[keen talon]

we all make mistakes

[spring zealot]

oh i see

it would be better to rename arg to member to make it more clear to read

[tough wagon]

add =""

[spring zealot]

but yes arg.mention then

[tough wagon]

like args=""

it will set args to empty string by default

[keen talon]

=None is better

[keen talon]

that's python error

not dpy

[slate swan]

If i do !checkbac before i even drink, rather than it giving me 0.00 it gives me error

[tough wagon]

the index with user's id not exists in dict

[slate swan]

yes bc i havent ran the !drink function before

[keen talon]

cause u didn't save it in the dict

[slate swan]

no way to fix?

[keen talon]

try and except

[tough wagon]

noooo

[slate swan]

u mean accept?

[keen talon]

😬

[slate swan]

just accept it :(

i can write if else statment

[tough wagon]

if user_id not in dict:
    return await ctx.reply('use !drink first')```

[slate swan]

yea

[keen talon]

mine works too lol

[tough wagon]

your is bad lol

[keen talon]

so it's copy pasta

[slate swan]

[keen talon]

what is that for, I never used it

[slate swan]

dont care what yall say bro im proud bc ik i wrote this shit

[tough wagon]

it is just useless (in v >1.0)

[boreal ravine]

literally pass_context=True is from < 1.0

I mean > 1.0

[boreal ravine]

sure you did

why did you use pass context then

[slate swan]

that i looked up

[boreal ravine]

it wasnt before 1.0

[slate swan]

but most of the stuyff if by me

and bro yall so tough on discord yall aint gonna open ur mouth if u see me irl

little ass kid

[keen talon]

[boreal ravine]

why did u use pass context then

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(SpaceWeather(bot))

So what i wanted it to do was after the user clicks the reaction, it moves to the next page (edits the message) and remove the reaction, after clicking once it works fine, but it doesnt remove the reaction or doesnt move to the next page after that

did i say it works??? i ment it never works

[slate swan]

async def add(ctx , num1:int , num2:int):
 await ctx.reply(num1 + num2) ```

but i already have

[tawdry perch]

Do you have on message events?

[slate swan]

[tawdry perch]

And does other commands work?

[slate swan]

yes

[tawdry perch]

And what is the full traceback

[slate swan]

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

[tawdry perch]

Thats the whole traceback?

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

but when i change it

it does not

[boreal ravine]

hm

@slate swan show tracebackk

[slate swan]

bro how many times have i shown u guys the traceback

[slate swan]

your giving the error, not the traceback

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

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

A full traceback could look like:

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

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

• Identify the exception raised (in this case ZeroDivisionError)
• Make note of the line number (in this case 2), and navigate there in your program.
• Try to understand why the error occurred (in this case because b is 0).

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

[tawdry perch]

You never did

[slate swan]

fuck me it works now

out of nowhere it just works

i restarted visual code

thank you @tawdry perch @boreal ravine

[tawdry perch]

I guess you never save the file

LMFAO

[tender charm]

Hello, when I create folder for new discord bot, and when I will open cmd for that folder, I use command pip install discord.py and in the code I use import discord and from discord.ext import commands. After start program, it will do this: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord.ext'; 'discord' is not a package

Please help, what can i do?

[elfin island]

what did you name this folder you created?

[maiden fable]

Do u use pycharm?

[elfin island]

if you perchance called it discord python is now confused about what to import (the library you installed or this folder) (this conflict can occur if you named a file in this folder as discord.py as well)

[tender charm]

pycharm?

what is it?

[maiden fable]

Which IDE do u use?

Like which text editor

[tender charm]

VSC

[maiden fable]

Oh ok nvm then

[valid galleon]

so i made a seperate dban command which deletes the messages in the last 24 hours(which is default). but i dont want it to delete the messages when the normal ban command is used. this is the code that i have. what am i doing wrong?

    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
    async def ban(self, ctx, member: discord.Member,*,reason = None, delete_message_days = 0):```

?

[slate swan]

check for what python version you installed the package and what python version vsc is using

[valid galleon]

???

[boreal ravine]

wdym

[valid galleon]

its not supposed to delete the messages of the banned user

[boreal ravine]

then dont make it delete it?

[valid galleon]

how?

[boreal ravine]

i dont think ban commands delete messages

[valid galleon]

this is what i m using rn:
async def ban(self, ctx, member: discord.Member,*,reason = None, delete_message_days = 0):

[valid galleon]

they do

[boreal ravine]

i dont think its possible

[graceful gulch]

it does

[boreal ravine]

ok?

[valid galleon]

any idea how i can make it not delete them?

[graceful gulch]

set delete_message_days to 0

[valid galleon]

@graceful gulch like this?

ive done that already though

[boreal ravine]

thats a parameter though

[valid galleon]

do you think its delete_message_days : 0 and not delete_message_days = 0?

[graceful gulch]

you do realise you also have to add to member.ban() too

[graceful gulch]

what no why

[valid galleon]

oh

[boreal ravine]

u cant typehint to a bool (0) tf

[graceful gulch]

how do u expect to ban someone without banning them??

[boreal ravine]

!e

def ban(dmd: 0):
  return dmd
print(ban("5"))

oh 🗿

[valid galleon]

umm

[unkempt canyon]

@boreal ravine :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

5

[boreal ravine]

hm

didnt know that worked

[pliant gulch]

Type hints don't do anything in vanilla python

They are strictly for readability

[upbeat otter]

Guys, how do I move a channel to a category? this is the code i have

async def mover(ctx, position, name):
  if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.manage_channels:
    channel = get(ctx.guild.channels, name=name)
    await channel.edit(category=position.upper())

[pliant gulch]

In dpy internally they convert it

[graceful gulch]

but sometimes your ide can raise issues if passing a different type to a function that’s type hinted

[pliant gulch]

Those are type checkers, again vanilla python doesn't have this

[boreal ravine]

maybe if you want it to be a certain something?

[pliant gulch]

And if you run it then it won't error

[pliant gulch]

No just readability, if you want a certain thing you use if statements etc to check

[upbeat otter]

anyone?

[boreal ravine]

!e

def add(a, b):
  return a + b
print(add("hi", "you"))
``` who would wanna add strings together though

[unkempt canyon]

@boreal ravine :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

hiyou

[slate swan]

then use isinstance and check if the param's type is the one you want, if not raise an error (most likely what dpy does too)

[upbeat otter]

pleeeassee???

[boreal ravine]

i know

but we werent talking about isinstance

[pliant gulch]

Either way tyoehints in regular python don't do anything they just tell the person what the function expects

[boreal ravine]

you can do that?

[pliant gulch]

ctx.command === command?

You put in an extra =

[visual island]

python evaluates the typehint tho

[pliant gulch]

It does not evaluate it just acknlowdges its there

But doesn't do anything afterwards

No, I meant you put in an extra = on actidrnt

You only need 2

[upbeat otter]

Guys, how do I move a channel to a category? this is the code i have

await send(content=None, *, tts=None, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, mention_author=None, view=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

thanks

[upbeat otter]

Am I invisible or smth 🥲

[boreal ravine]

why is ur elif statement

[slate swan]

indentation?

[boreal ravine]

inside your if statment

[slate swan]

that elif don't connect to anything

[boreal ravine]

no lol i just dont know how to do that maybe get the category ID then move it in there? idk

[upbeat otter]

ah....okay...thank you

how can I get discord api ping?

[slate swan]

?

[upbeat otter]

api ping?

[urban star]

There is no api ping?

???

[upbeat otter]

use .latency with your bot constructor's name

it will give the bot's ping

[urban star]

Okay

[slate swan]

oh

[urban star]

I see

Thanks

[upbeat otter]

For proper

ping = int(bot.latency) *1000

[valid galleon]

what about the message latency?

[urban star]

[slate swan]

can anyone help me or provide docs to make a fight mini-game command? like !fight {user}
but the options like fight,block,kick
and each user gets 1 chance after other and the fight ends 1 user hp goes 100-0 and options will be used as kick not !kick or !fight kick

[slate swan]

I'll tell you how you can do it to take the user input, the rest is pure python which you have to do yourself, if you don't know then you really need to learn more python because this is really basic, to get the user input use wait_for and for the check simply check if the author is any of them (you can decide who starts), make sure you have a turn var which holds one of the users, after each time a user gives an answer, make sure to change the turn with the other player so that when you check for their message it'll only take the current player that needs to input and not both of them, after you got the message use .content.lower() and check if it's one of your options, if it is then do whatever you need to do, otherwise do something else

It's really really easy to create one, gl 👍

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.

asyncio.all_tasks(bot.loop)

[slate swan]

How can I get the users who clicked the button?

[leaden jasper]

how to name a task

[supple jacinth]

hello im new to discord py, would someone be able to help me make a command handler?

[upbeat otter]

same thing

[upbeat otter]

@tasks.loop()
async def name()

[leaden jasper]

oh

[upbeat otter]

elaborate please

[supple jacinth]

Wdym i said what i wanted to do

[upbeat otter]

do you mean the starter code?

[mortal thistle]

how can I delete all rows at once from my sqlite database?

[supple jacinth]

no command handler

like have commands in files in a folder

[upbeat otter]

error handler?

[upbeat otter]

so, you want to make cogs? or import those files and use their functions?

[boreal ravine]

u mean making commands?

[upbeat otter]

I was confused 🥲

[boreal ravine]

same

[upbeat otter]

if message.content.lower().startswith(.....)

[mortal thistle]

hello

Can someone help me how do I delete all rows in my sqlite database without deleting my database?

[upbeat otter]

sowwy, I don't know how to use sqlite

[mortal thistle]

😦

ok

[upbeat otter]

search google tho

[mortal thistle]

no help

that's why I came here

[upbeat otter]

yeah, i just searched

[brave flint]

um did anyone understand about heroku?

[upbeat otter]

#databases

[mortal thistle]

I did it

[upbeat otter]

oh sad

[mortal thistle]

anyways, thanks @upbeat otter

[brave flint]

i deployed like 9 time and it always show a same error
Process exited with status 127

[visual island]

cant you just do DELETE FROM table?

[leaden jasper]

doesnt work

[upbeat otter]

did you import

from discord.ext import tasks

[neon oyster]

how do i accept 2 errors only saying except once

[leaden jasper]

i can make a function just how do u name the task

[upbeat otter]

async def name()

[visual island]

except (Exception1, Exception2):

[neon oyster]

thx

[leaden jasper]

when i do

for i in asyncio.all_tasks(bot.loop):
  print(i.get_name())
``` it doesnt print the name of the function

[upbeat otter]

wdym?

[leaden jasper]

i wanna get the names of running tasks

but how do u name a task first

[upbeat otter]

just use a print() inside the tasks to see which function is running and printing

[leaden jasper]

i need to do it with a command outside the task

[visual island]

what does it print currently?

[upbeat otter]

@tasks.loop(time):
  async def function1():
    print("function1 is running")
    #do other stuff

this should help tho

[leaden jasper]

Task-290
Task-2
Task-146

[leaden jasper]

not that

my tasks works fine i dont need help with that

im trying to get a list of running tasks by doing a command elsewhere

ur giving me the wrong help btw

[visual island]

as it's stated in the docs "If no name has been explicitly assigned to the Task, the default asyncio Task implementation generates a default name during instantiation."

[leaden jasper]

yep i guess, so how do we give it a name?

[visual island]

i.set_name()?

never been this far but lets see

[leaden jasper]

i think gota do get_task() then set_name in the task function

[supple jacinth]

Bruh i just said what i wanted

😩

[valid perch]

Use cogs and have 1 command per file/cog ig

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html

[upbeat otter]

do you wanna make commands?

[leaden jasper]

oh yep u do that

[upbeat otter]

oof, you could have said that earlier

[leaden jasper]

i did

i can make a function just how do u name the task

[supple jacinth]

i just said. i want my commands in seperate files in a folder

https://github.com/JoshyOnMars/Power-Bot/blob/main/index.js like this

[visual island]

so, eventually I did this:

import asyncio 
for i in asyncio.all_tasks(bot.loop):
  print(i.get_coro().__name__) 

[supple jacinth]

also whats wrong here?

[leaden jasper]

I just renamed it in the init function

    self.task.start()
    self.task.get_task().set_name(f'PlayerCountTask')

[boreal ravine]

oh you mean cogs?

[supple jacinth]

im trying to psudocode

[boreal ravine]

=> isnt a thing only -> is

[supple jacinth]

cogs?

[supple jacinth]

oh

[visual island]

=> is js thing

[boreal ravine]

yes it allows you to make commands in different files

[supple jacinth]

that then

[boreal ravine]

hm

[supple jacinth]

lol

[visual island]

similar to := in python

[boreal ravine]

wait ill give a tutorial

[boreal ravine]

i never see that operator anymore

👀

[safe fulcrum]

Ok, is there a way to send webhooks and embeds using discord webhook

embed.add_field(name='etc'....)

[boreal ravine]

yes

[safe fulcrum]

how do i send a webhook trought that library

[boreal ravine]

create webhook > make embed > send embed to webhook

[safe fulcrum]

yes

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_webhook

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

Creates a webhook for this channel.

Requires [`manage_webhooks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks "discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks") permissions.

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

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Webhook.send

[supple jacinth]

oki

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.send

await send(content=..., *, username=..., avatar_url=..., tts=False, ephemeral=False, file=..., files=..., embed=..., embeds=..., allowed_mentions=..., view=..., thread=..., wait=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message using the webhook.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object.

If the `embed` parameter is provided, it must be of type [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") and it must be a rich embed type. You cannot mix the `embed` parameter with the `embeds` parameter, which must be a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects to send.

[safe fulcrum]

Ohh

[visual island]

btw, you're trying to define f inside the parentheses right?

[safe fulcrum]

thanks

wait

[solemn grove]

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
  if not (message.author == bot.user) and (message.content.lower().startswith('Hi')):
    await message.reply(f"Hello", mention_author=True)

why it isnt working?

[safe fulcrum]

how should i put "await"

[boreal ravine]

meaning?

[visual island]

you have lowercased the content..

[safe fulcrum]

i mean

im not making a bot

[supple jacinth]

domt worry someone is going to help me with cogs

[upbeat otter]

this is js ;-;

[safe fulcrum]

imma send u the code

[supple jacinth]

thats why i said like this lol

[upbeat otter]

I do know js, but not discordjs ;-;

```

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

[solemn grove]

mmm
how and i make it case insensitive

[safe fulcrum]

embed = discord.Embed(
    title = 'Title',
    colour = discord.Colour.blue()
)

embed.add_field(name='Field', value='Value')

send(???)

@boreal ravine

[leaden jasper]

I printed both with [(i.get_name(), i.get_coro().__name__) for i in asyncio.all_tasks(self.bot.loop)]

Tasks: [('Task-126', '_run_event'), ('Task-125', '_run_event'), ('PlayerCountTask-1', '_loop'), ('Task-2', 'runner')]

do u know what the other tasks are

[boreal ravine]

oop

[safe fulcrum]

.

[visual island]

no like, you have it lowercased already, then you're seeing if it starts with a string with uppercase letter in it?

[boreal ravine]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/d78c061a4798ae81be9825468fe146be oops

[boreal ravine]

you'll need to create the webhook first

[safe fulcrum]

yeah

[upbeat otter]

how do I make it like: it shows, Voting Website in an embed, and it should take it to youtube?

[safe fulcrum]

ik

[unkempt canyon]

@safe fulcrum, looks like you posted a Discord webhook URL. Therefore, your message has been removed, and your webhook has been deleted. You can re-create it if you wish to. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know.

[safe fulcrum]

wt-

[boreal ravine]

yes, pass in all the required args (name should be enough) and then save the webhook thingy in a variable then send it

[upbeat otter]
