discord-bots

[slate swan]

Why what can I do with that?

I can host anything I want on it?

even sites?

sites too?

which one do I buy?

the one for 120 dollars?

[hasty iron]

buy the one with the specs that you need

but it’s better to go for a vps

[slate swan]

I don't understand anything when it comes to raspberry pi

if you are ONLY going to do discord bots, dont go for the raspberry pi

https://www.netonnet.se/art/datorkomponenter/datorchassi/barebone/raspberry-pi-4-starter-kit/1010676.9477/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwt-6LBhDlARIsAIPRQcI_vsRvpbyRoUCMMYAbcUzZWzK9G3DN7wBN4o4ZAhF3tH7S2mQ5x0caAk2jEALw_wcB is this one good?

I don't like amazon

yup

btw, how can I check if a guild has a role by its name

bruh are you really going to buy a pi4 only for a discord bot

[simple fractal]

hey any help guys

[slate swan]

role_obj = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name='role')
if isinstance(role,None) == False:
  return "the role indeed exists"

should do the trick but idk if it's the best approach

[simple fractal]

?

[slate swan]

i used this instead: ```py
@command(name="mute")
@has_permissions(manage_roles=True)
@bot_has_permissions(manage_roles=True)
async def mute(self, ctx):
roles = ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]
if "muted" in roles:
await ctx.message.delete()

But I cant get it to working

it doesn't find muted in roles

[slate swan]

Raspberry pi = mini pc
If your going for one just for a discord bot dont just use a vps its cheaper if not you could buy the rpi and run like a minecraft server or something

Rpi 4 is good

[slate swan]

error?

[slate swan]

no error, it just wont work

try printing the roles list

[<Role id=902282029171867729 name='ModMail'>, <Role id=901121411639296090 name='Owners'>, <Role id=902177890932756510 name='Admins'>, etc...

well there you go

I got it working like this instead:

[role.name for role in ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]]

yeah

For a discord bot just no a vps is better and cheaper

[brave ravine]

i am having trouble renaming files - my code renames all the files in the directory the same thing instead of the one that just was downloaded

for file in os.listdir("./"):
                name = file
                print(f"Renamed File: {file}\n")
                os.rename(file, fileName + ".txt")```

[slate swan]

Rpi depends on internet speed and other stuff

[slate swan]

    async def mute(self, ctx, member: Member):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        guild_roles = [role.name for role in ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]]

        if not member:
            await ctx.send(":x: You need to mention a member or provide an ID to execute this command!", delete_after=3)

Now this wont work 😦 it doesn't send the message

[slate swan]

I might do some other fun stuff on the rpi 🙂 but how is it not cheaper? u buy it and u never have to pay again

how do i add a picture onto an embed?
e.g.

@bot.command(aliases=["embed", "embeds"]) 
async def embed(ctx):  
 embed=discord.Embed(title="embeds", description="This demonstrates how embeds are made", + url = *urlofpic*, color = 0xEEAA41)  
 embed.set_author(name="BOT NAME")

@slate swan do yk?

set_thumbnail

[brave ravine]

@bot.command()
async def help(ctx):    
    helpme = discord.Embed(title="",
                        color=0x5865F2)
    helpme.set_thumbnail(url='...')

    await ctx.send(embed=helpme)```

[slate swan]

not thumbnail, just a picture below

oh

[candid ore]

        profile = self.bot.profile
        profile["_id"] = ctx.author.id
        profile["name"] = f"{ctx.author.name}#{ctx.author.discriminator}"
        inv = self.bot.inv
        inv["_id"] = ctx.author.id
        island = self.bot.island
        island["_id"] = ctx.author.id
        invmats["_id"] = ctx.author.id
        invmats = self.bot.invmats
        invbox["_id"] = ctx.author.id
        invbox = self.bot.invbox

File "/home/container/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 351, in _run_event

TypeError: 'AsyncIOMotorCollection' object does not support item assignment

Anyone?

[slate swan]

You have to pay for electricity and it will depend on your internet speed and if your doing something else with it thats fine but if your just going for a discord bot a vps is better you dont have to depend on your internet and depending on your vps you can get like a year or more for the price of a rpi

[slate swan]

bruh, what? rpi runs on electricity? does it take much electricity?

doesnt it have batteries?

No it doesnt have batteries it goes directly to the wall

I think some do but idk

[slate swan]

Its a mini pc what do you expect

[forest blade]

Still would have to buy batteries if it did

[tribal torrent]

how come i defined a data variable in the global scope but it isnt being detected?

global data
data = json.load(open("data.json"))

@bot.listen('on_message')
async def on_message(message):
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    if message.channel.id == data['channel']:

the error is UnboundLocalError: local variable 'data' referenced before assignment

[slate swan]

Yeah you could buy rechargeable but it still takes electricity

So dont

[kindred epoch]

raspberry pi is good for small server bots/personal bots

[slate swan]

@bot.command(aliases = ["AVATAR","Avatar"])
@commands.cooldown(1, 3, commands.BucketType.user)
async def avatar(ctx, member : discord.Member = None):
    async with ctx.typing():
        await asyncio.sleep(0.4)
        if member == None:
            member = ctx.author
        if ctx.channel.id != 835236006713098304:

            emb = discord.Embed(color=0x2f3136)
            emb.add_field(name="Вызивать команды допускатеся здесь [#835236006713098304](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/835236006713098304/)", inline=True)
            await ctx.send(embed=emb)
            return

why doesn't the bot write anything?

[kindred epoch]

you need to specify value for add_field

[slate swan]

Thank you

i wanted the picture to be where it said ```embed = discord.Embed(title='STATEMENT', color = 0x000000

can someone help me with that?

[kindred epoch]

huh?

[slate swan]

i'm so confused

[slate swan]

Explain

[slate swan]

Same

[steady flume]

guys, how to make the bot output that number of characters (like !) how much will fall out in random.randint ??

[kindred epoch]

do you know how random.randint works?

[steady flume]

yes

random.randit(a, b)

[dense swallow]

For that u can also use random.choice()

[steady flume]

i need choose between one ! and twenty !

[dense swallow]

For numericals randint is fine

[steady flume]

then how to make the bot output that number of characters ?

which will fall in randit

[dense swallow]

By making a list and then sending a random amount? Is that what u mean?

[steady flume]

didnt understan

[slate swan]

I think he did

You explained it like he said

[velvet relic]

#algos-and-data-structs

[kindred epoch]

?

[dense swallow]

import random

x = ['!', '!!','!!!', '!!!!', '!!!!!', '!!!!!!']
print(random.choice(x))

This is one example

[steady flume]

hmhmhmhm

okey, ty bro!

[dense swallow]

Np 👍

[thick sigil]

I think he meant he inputs the number of time he wants the bot to send the character

[dense swallow]

Oh so u need input

[steady flume]

how to make the bot send from one to twenty characters (random) - i meant this

[thick sigil]

then randint

[dense swallow]

it just sends, u don't want it to send the amount that ur specifying?

[kindred epoch]

you want the bot to send 20 of "!" in a single message for "!" 20 times?

[steady flume]

nagh

DTS alreade helped

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

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

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

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[kindred epoch]

ok

[thick sigil]

just use randint

[slate swan]

bruhhhhhhhhhh

[thick sigil]

"!" * random.randint(1,20)```

[slate swan]

the picture that is sent as a thumbnail, i want it where it says embed = discord.Embed(title='STATEMENT', color = 0x000000

[kindred epoch]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

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

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

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

[slate swan]

How can I edit the channel perms for a specific role?

await ctx.guild.create_role(name="muted", permissions=Permissions(send_messages=False, read_messages=True), mentionable=False)
await ctx.channel.set_permissions(name="muted", permissions=Permissions(send_messages=False, read_messages=True))

I tried this, but it wont add the "muted" role perms to the channel

I followed the docs

[kindred epoch]

hm

replacfe name="muted" to target

[slate swan]

alright

Nope, it doesn't add the muted role to the channel perms

[hard trail]

How do I put in my Discord application key into my code?

[slate swan]

Would anyone know how i can convert hex into a embed colour?

[kindred epoch]

no idea then, havent used that

[slate swan]

Your token you mean?

[slate swan]

Dont know what you mean

[thick sigil]

use permission overwrite and update your channel with it

[hard trail]

Application Key

[slate swan]

For what exactly

[hard trail]

For my discord chat bot

[slate swan]

What do you need it for i ment

Dont know why you need the application key tbh

[hard trail]

I need help to put in code

[slate swan]

Is "developer application key" even a thing never heard of it

[violet nymph]

He probably means the bot token

[kindred epoch]

theres application id and then theres public key

[kindred epoch]

theres nothing as "application key"

[slate swan]

The public key is for a public bot right

[hard trail]

Application id

[kindred epoch]

idek whats its for

[slate swan]

Same

[slate swan]

Why tho

[kindred epoch]

yea where do you want to put that

[hard trail]

Wait hold on isn't an Api key = application id

[slate swan]

overwrite = discord.PermissionOverwrite()
                overwrite.send_messages = False
                overwrite.read_messages = True
                await ctx.channel.set_permissions=discord.Permissions("member", overwrite=overwrite)

tried doing this too, it says overwrite has no attribute called send_messages

[kindred epoch]

no

what part are you stuck on? just tell me that and ill guide u from there

[hard trail]

Basically from the start. I need an api key for my bot

[violet nymph]

What are you trying to make?

[slate swan]

You mean a token to run your bot.

[kindred epoch]

ok, i think you mean you need the bot token to start the bot, am i correct?

[hard trail]

I already have that

[slate swan]

Then what do you mean

@bot.command()
async def embed(ctx):

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Thi", color=0x5865F2)
    embed.set_image(url = "img/number.png")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

?

[hard trail]

Yes it's bot.run('my token')

[slate swan]

You dont need the application id or api key and i dont think you can get a api key

[violet nymph]

What are you trying to make?

[kindred epoch]

3 people helping at the same time wont help him

[hard trail]

A chat bot

[kindred epoch]

url is supposed to start with https or http

[hard trail]

look hold on

[kindred epoch]

api key for a lib

[slate swan]

wtf did not understand, I have a picture on my computer

[kindred epoch]

!d discord.File for that then

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=False)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[kindred epoch]

if you dont want to use discord.File then you send the image in discord and then copy the link of that and put that as url

[slate swan]

Yes, I know about it. but when you delete a message with a link, the image will also be deleted.

[slate swan]

Isnt that how discord works

[kindred epoch]

how do you expect the image to be there then?

[slate swan]

Yeah its by url or a file

Cant think of another way

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

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.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

[slate swan]

dave

[slate swan]

Yes hes using embed

[slate swan]

ye i know, lol

[slate swan]

You wanted to show him all the stuff from a embed didnt you

[slate swan]

i'm a guy

[slate swan]

I didnt point anything at you lmfao

I ment him by @slate swan

oh ye, that as in i needed directions

[slate swan]

No i ment you used the commands to show him how to use the commands of a embed

[slate swan]

in a way yes

imagine not adding me back

couldn't be me

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

Lmao

[kindred epoch]

ok?

[slate swan]

No he ment it at me

[kindred epoch]

he also sent me a request

[slate swan]

[kindred epoch]

and as i always do it, i rejected it 🙂

[slate swan]

Savage

[untold haven]

help....

[slate swan]

first line change that to bot.command()

[kindred epoch]

huh?

[slate swan]

I think your missing
bot = commands.Bot(" ",help_command =None)

[kindred epoch]

how did you define your commands.Bot?

[slate swan]

line 9 is client.command()
line 13 is bot.command()

[kindred epoch]

yea, now read the error again for me

[kindred epoch]

ok, change @bot.command() to @client.command()

[untold haven]

ok

[slate swan]

depends on the first few lines of code, it would either be bot = commands.Bot() or it would be client = commands.Bot()

[slate swan]

line 13

[slate swan]

In imports you can just do

from discord.ext import commands

dont need to import discord.ext

[untold haven]

thank you :)

[slate swan]

fixed?

[kindred epoch]

dude, it literally says "bot" is not defined, so what would the other answer be? ofc it would be client

[slate swan]

ye, so line 13 should be @client.command()

[kindred epoch]

ye

[slate swan]

is that what you wanted?

youtube isn't always going to be accurate

i'm using replit cause vscode messes up for me

role_list = []
        if "muted" in [role.name for role in ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]]:
            for m_role in ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]:
                if m_role.name == "muted":
                    role_list.append(m_role.name)
                    role_list.append(str(m_role.id))
                    break
        else:
            await ctx.guild.create_role(name="muted", permissions=Permissions(send_messages=False, read_messages=True))
            print("test2")
            for new_role in ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]:
                if new_role == "muted":
                    role_list.append(new_role.name)
                    role_list.append(str(new_role.id))

            print("test3")
            print(str(role_list[1]))
            await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.get_role(str(role_list[1])), send_messages=False, read_messages=True)

        print("test4")
        print(role_list)

I've been stuck on this one for a while, the code that starts from test3 all the way down to the print(role_list) isn't working, how come?

[slate swan]

How does vscode mess you up lmao

[slate swan]

discord.ext doesn't work for me

[slate swan]

Wdym it doesn't work it doesnt import

[slate swan]

you want the command to get the stats of servers? it basically has roles listed too

[slate swan]

i guess?

lemme show you

[slate swan]

What are you talking about?

[echo wasp]

hi, i want to create some more commands for my bot but i don't know how to well

[slate swan]

what's the main problem, you need roles to display?

[slate swan]

use mee6's or use documentation

[slate swan]

I asked my main issue, the code isn't running from and below "test3", there is no error

[echo wasp]

use another bot?

[slate swan]

no clue, man

[slate swan]

Idk if you need intents for roles but have you tried having members intents

[kindred epoch]

whats ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1] doing?

[slate swan]

no, steal commands

[slate swan]

removes the everyone role and sorts the roles

[echo wasp]

well how do i steal there commands?

[kindred epoch]

ah ok

[slate swan]

such as purge

[kindred epoch]

lmfao, im tired of saying that so i just dont say it

[slate swan]

I don't think that is the issue tho, somehow the code where I debugged from print("test3") isn't ran at all

Dont know much havent done it before

[kindred epoch]

new_role.name

[slate swan]

mhm?

[slate swan]

Cant steal a command if it isnt theres

My grammar is so bad

[kindred epoch]

you're checking a role object with the name, not the roles name with the name

[slate swan]

which line are you talking about

[kindred epoch]

  for new_role in ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]:
                if new_role == "muted":
                    role_list.append(new_role.name)
                    role_list.append(str(new_role.id))

[slate swan]

that's exactly how it's suppoed to be

[kindred epoch]

wait

!e
something = ["hi","hi2","hi3"]
for x in something:
if x == "hi":
print("worked")
else:
print("didnt work")

huh

ok nvm then

[echo wasp]

how do you steal them never done it before

[slate swan]

!e ```py
myList = ["muted", "something"]
for element in myList:
if element == "muted":
print("muted")
else:
print("not_muted")

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | muted
002 | not_muted

[kindred epoch]

ok wait, im not wrong

[slate swan]

lmao, yes the second print got printed because of the second iteration

u are, on the second iteration the else statement becomes true, that's why it printed it

[kindred epoch]

if you look at this, its checking if the role name is "Owner", but the owner role is the third role in the role hierarchy

[echo wasp]

Can someone help me with creating commands I don't really understand how to make commands like purge or anything on those lines i just know how to send text back or give me a link to documentation

[slate swan]

            for new_role in ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]:
                if new_role == "muted":
                    role_list.append(new_role.name)
                    role_list.append(str(new_role.id))

what do u think this does? because this is where the issue is in my code

it checks for the each role in the guild (it removes the everyone role).
and if any of the iterations meets the if condition, it appends the role name and role id to my list.

[kindred epoch]

ye you need to do new_role.name to get the name, what you're doing right now is you're checking if a discord.Role is == to muted

[slate swan]

but the thing is, it never happens

ahh

oh

bruh

[kindred epoch]

lol

[slate swan]

i'm fkn dumb

ty

[kindred epoch]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=False, bulk=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission to delete messages even if they are your own. The [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

[echo wasp]

know how to do that but that is why i asked for docs because it is somewhere

[slate swan]

another issue if u don't mind helping btw

[kindred epoch]

if its a db problem ask in #databases

[kindred epoch]

ye go ahead

[kindred epoch]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge use this to purge messages and ctx.send() to send a message after it

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=False, bulk=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission to delete messages even if they are your own. The [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages...

[steady flume]

ok

[kindred epoch]

if you click the title of this embed it will redirect u to the docs @echo wasp

[echo wasp]

thanks so much do you know where i can find more commands?

[kindred epoch]

do you mean more command ideas?

[echo wasp]

yes

[slate swan]

await ctx.guild.create_role(name="muted", permissions=Permissions(send_messages=False, read_messages=True))
            for new_role in ctx.guild.roles[:0:-1]:
                if new_role.name == "muted":
                    role_list.append(new_role.name)
                    role_list.append(str(new_role.id))

            print(str(role_list[1]))
            await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.get_role(str(role_list[1])), send_messages=False, read_messages=True)
            print("test")

        print(role_list)

the prinst("test") and print(role_list) isn't ran, but the print above the await ctx.channel.set_permissions is. What might the issue be? Because it isn't setting any permissions in the channel either

[kindred epoch]

reminder, welcome message, leave message, poll, verification system, ticket system

[echo wasp]

is there docs on that?

[kindred epoch]

no

you need to use stuff to make it

[echo wasp]

10-04 i'll start one if i need help i'll ask ya

[kindred epoch]

ok

[kindred epoch]

hold on

[kindred epoch]

ctx.guild.get_role(str(role_list[1])) is role_list[1] returning the id?

[slate swan]

yup

903745924457726002
``` is what its returning

[kindred epoch]

try adding target= in front of that

cuz it worked for it

[echo wasp]

umm for the command name do you just say purge for it or do you need to put a number?

[kindred epoch]

ok nvm

[slate swan]

d! embed

[kindred epoch]

that wont matter

[slate swan]

target parameter must be either Member or Role

ah?

got this error now

[kindred epoch]

holy shit, the error is literally exposed lmfao im blind, the id is supposed to be an int not str

[kindred epoch]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

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.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

[slate swan]

oh really? I remembered it being a str lol

[kindred epoch]

ye

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

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

[slate swan]

dumb docs not telling me 😦

[kindred epoch]

role_id (int) – The ID to search for.

hm told me its supposed to be an int

[slate swan]

it worked

nice 🙂

[slate swan]

ty

[kindred epoch]

uh, command name is purge, arguments for it is supposed to be an int which will be the amount of messages you want to delete

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    for 10 in message.mentions:
        if(10==client.user):
            embed = discord.Embed(description="command prefix: `,`\nfor help, use: `,help`\ninvite alone: `,invite`", color=color)
            await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
    else:
        await client.process_commands(message)```

how could i make this not send the embed if the message has anything but mention

[echo wasp]

ok thanks that is the only part they didn't inclued in
!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[hasty iron]

for 10 in … is this even valid syntax?

[slate swan]

it works

[kindred epoch]

thats the docs for how to use .purge

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

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

[slate swan]

can u help me with this one sasuke

[hasty iron]

you should name it something more descriptive

[slate swan]

*roles is this a role id, role name, or what is it?

[kindred epoch]

just ask, if im not here someone else will probably be willing to help

[slate swan]

yeah i know but i just need help making it not send if the message contains more then a mention to the bot

[slate swan]

^

[kindred epoch]

role id?

bruv

[hasty iron]

Role object

[kindred epoch]

i just check

if message.content in [f'<@!{client.user.id}>', f'<@{client.user.id}>']:
``` it works and it ignores the everyone ping

@slate swan

[hasty iron]

if you rtfd, you would’ve got it

[slate swan]

if I knew what *roles was meaning I wouldn't have asked, would I?

[hasty iron]

the docs literally tell you that

[slate swan]

I didn't know if it wanted a role.id or something else, I didn't understand what it "told" me

[hasty iron]

what? it literally said it takes in a Role object

*roles (abc.Snowflake) – An argument list of abc.Snowflake representing a Role to give to the member. oh i wonder what it takes

[echo wasp]

yup so it should come out like so ```py
@bot.command(name='purge')
async def purge(ctx):
await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=False, bulk=True)
await ctx.channel.send('(numbers of messages) have been cleared')

[kindred epoch]

i think you need to learn python first

[echo wasp]

I know the basics of it

[slate swan]

I havent learned about snowflakes yet, I'll read about it

[hasty iron]

man

[manic timber]

hi

[hasty iron]

you don’t have to

did you even read the whole sentence

[kindred epoch]

i dont know about that

[slate swan]

I did read the doc, I didn't understand what it wanted me to enter as arguments, which mean there is something I need to learn right? Now I'll go read about that so for next time I wont have to ask, why are you complaining?

[hasty iron]

because the docs are clear enough

[slate swan]

some or not for me

remember i'm still new and not as experienced as you are

end of discussion? Thanks for the help

[slate swan]

In this case it's really not about experience

Oh my god

When it clearly tells you what it needs

[slate swan]

In what line does it clearly says what I need? *roles? I said I didn't understand what that meant, I said I'll have to learn about it then, why are you all complaining???? 😩

The command description only shows a part of what's actually in the docs, if you would've clicked the link you would've seen that it's telling you what that is

[hasty iron]

oh, you didn’t understand what list of Role meant?

[slate swan]

😂

[slate swan]

I also said:

*roles (abc.Snowflake) – An argument list of abc.Snowflake representing a Role to give to the member.

That I don't know about snowflakes

[slate swan]

I did, but not if it wanted an ID or a Name etc..

It's basically a list of Role objects

[hasty iron]

"representing a Role", imaginary 3 words

[slate swan]

Jesus christ

<@&831776746206265384>

Ping just one of them not all 😟

[blissful lagoon]

no, pinging the role is what we want you to do

[slate swan]

yup everyone is against me today

i'm done

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[kindred epoch]

no he means pinging the role is correct lmao

[slate swan]

Oh

[urban ivy]

u stupid?

[blissful lagoon]

!mute 488127753745596436 🔎

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied mute to @urban ivy until <t:1635545305:f> (59 minutes and 58 seconds).

[kindred epoch]

lmao

[slate swan]

Usually i saw just one being pinged instead of the role because I thought it'd be annoying for the mods to get all pinged but alr

[kindred epoch]

manz joined and got muted

[slate swan]

😂 😂

[kindred epoch]

really used an alt for saying that

[vocal magnet]

We prefer it if you ping the entire role, otherwise that one mod you pinged may be busy.

[slate swan]

Oh i see

Makes sense

[vocal magnet]

mods signed up for the pings 😄 We get far more pings from our bot that from users reporting things

[slate swan]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[kindred epoch]

uhm

oof

still chose to say "eat my ass"

[manic wing]

if its in dm's, no action can be taken

[slate swan]

Well that was random 😂

[kindred epoch]

i can always report to @novel apex tho, if the guy is from this server

[manic wing]

no

not if its in dm's

[kindred epoch]

ye

i did do it once, and the guy got banned

[slate swan]

Just block him or disable dms from server members

[manic wing]

just block, its not that deep

[kindred epoch]

did

[kindred epoch]

ye lmao

[slim whale]

it was user.nickname or user.nick?

to print the nickname of the server

[kindred epoch]

what

servers have nicknames now?

[slim whale]

u know??? im from spain, dont know how to say it

[kindred epoch]

thats a whole user bruv

[slim whale]

what xd

i want like the user.something

[kindred epoch]

its nick

[slim whale]

tnxxx

[kindred epoch]

user.nick

[slim whale]

tnx

@kindred epoch

doing this, how i can make the id and the nickname in the same line and the join position etc in another line?

with inlines but idk how to use them correctly

[dapper cobalt]

Don't set inline to False.

Just don't set inline. It's True by default.

[slim whale]

Yes but then joined its in the first line

[dapper cobalt]

Set nickname field's inline to True and joined field's inline to False.

[slim whale]

it looks like this

[dapper cobalt]

Well, that's what you want?

[slim whale]

no, i want joined, join postion and registered in same line

and id nickname in another

and roles in another line

[reef shell]

then use only one field for those 3 lines

ez

[slim whale]

yes but how i can make the title

like the name=

if its with one field

[reef shell]

you do it in the value
just bold the joined, join positon ...

i mean a new field for only a single line looks bad

[slim whale]

yes but can i make like name="a", value="b", name="a"

no no?¿

[reef shell]

no

[slim whale]

but it can be more than one value?

[reef shell]

no

let me show you

[slim whale]

how people make these??

[kindred epoch]

lool

they used 4 fields, and used \n in the value

[slim whale]

/n ?

[reef shell]

value = f"Joined: {ur_joined_var}\nJoin position:{join_pos_var}"

ez

[kindred epoch]

and >>> to get the black line before it

Hi

[slim whale]

ohhhh

[reef shell]

Hi

[slim whale]

so \n its to make like another line?

[reef shell]

yes

[kindred epoch]

ye

[slim whale]

ohhh

[reef shell]

you didn't know that

[kindred epoch]

!e
print("\nHi")

to help you out

[slim whale]

XD

[reef shell]

you need to learn basic python

[slim whale]

i know a little bit but that no xd

and the name of the things

[reef shell]

that's bad

[slim whale]

learned this a couple years ago

but i dont remember many things

need to learn again :C

[reef shell]

o ic

it's not that hard

[dapper cobalt]

By making them.

[slim whale]

😋

[dapper cobalt]

Also, ngl that looks super clean. And it seems that I'm definitely going to copy some of it.

[slim whale]

jajajajaj

@reef shell @kindred epoch now it looks like this, thanks!

[slate swan]

Wow

Looks good

[kindred epoch]

nice

[dapper cobalt]

You can add a right arrow at the start of each line to make it look better.

> Hello
Will be:

Hello

[slim whale]

okayyy

[dapper cobalt]

Make sure there's a space between the arrow and the text.

[slate swan]

Or just >>> at the start of the string, that'll apply it for each newline

>>> Hello
Hi
Will be:

Hello
Hi

[west escarp]

.

For those of you curious of the possible formatting options

In addition
\_ \_ will create a "blank space" that is not absorbed by discord formatting (except in certain rare embed cases)

Eg

_ _

[kindred epoch]

_

oh ye i knew about that

[sick birch]

_ _ also works

[slate swan]

How would I get a list of all the permission a user has

how do you make a welcome command

[slate swan]

you can do roles?

[slate swan]

On member join i think idk

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = bot.get_channel(903708574138658837) 
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Welcome, dear user.", color = 0x5865f2)
    embed.add_field(name=f"{user}, we welcome you with warm hands.", value="read the rules!", inline=True)
    embed.set_footer(text="Cursex")

    await channel.send(embed=embed)
``` i wrote random things

[slate swan]

I think idk never done it before

[slate swan]

eee, annoying as hell, i hate this

[slate swan]

🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

mann

[slate swan]

?

Any error

[slate swan]

yep, gn tho

[slate swan]

Gn

[lunar helm]

how are commands on my bot working if i have message intents off

[final iron]

Its only for verified bots

[cloud dawn]

Wat no?

[lunar helm]

yeah but i COULD enable it now because my bot is in under 100 servers

but how are they even working without it

[pliant gulch]

Message intents aren't even rolled out yet

[final iron]

Sorry I mixed it up with message content intents

[cloud dawn]

There is still no restrictions.

Verified bots can do as much as normal bots.

[outer violet]

Is it possible to make a command that edits an already sent embed?

[hollow hemlock]

How do i edit an already existed webhook object using it's URL so i can rename it, change it's avatar, etc.

[sacred cargo]

i need help, the bad word wont get removed from the json list

@client.command(aliases=["rbw", "removebw"], description="Add a bad word to the bad word list.")
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def removebadword(ctx, badword):
    with open("custom_word_list.json", 'r') as f:
        rbw = json.load(f)

    removebadwordlist = rbw[str(ctx.guild.id)]
    removebadwordlist.pop(badword)

    with open("custom_word_list.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(rbw, f, indent=4)

[slate swan]

error?

[slate swan]

is it in cache?

[slate swan]

will work

if you have intents

not sure where your pulling user from if on member join takes member

[sacred cargo]

nope, no errors

[slate swan]

add a print in each line to see where it stops

should be an error

unless it does it

[boreal ravine]

why json

[slate swan]

hey guys, is it possible to detect a bot kick/ban? im having some sort of db preferences for each servers, so im just trying to remove it whenever the bot isnt in the server anymore. helps much appreciated, thanks!

[kindred epoch]

Yes, define the .send that sends the embed, then instead of sending again use whatyoudefined.edit(embed=editedenbed)

[kindred epoch]

!d discord.on_guild_leave

[slate swan]

ah, that detects both? thanks, i gotta implement it now

[kindred epoch]

That's not the thing its on_guild_remove

[kindred epoch]

Wdym by both

Ye it is

[slate swan]

oh, then i have it implemented already

on_guild_remove

[kindred epoch]

Ye

[patent surge]

Can I Dm a user who is not in mutual server of the bot ?

[outer violet]

What’s the difference between SQLite and aiosqlite? Like which ones better

[boreal ravine]

They're both the same but aiosqlite is for async environments (like dpy)

[boreal ravine]

Nope

[outer violet]

Is aiosqlite better to use then?

[boreal ravine]

for dpy?

[outer violet]

Yeah

[boreal ravine]

yes then

[latent dragon]

how do u make a verify cmd?

[boreal ravine]

Depends on how you want it to be

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[latent dragon]

i want them to do !verify

and it gives them a role

and the bot responds with @amber beacon has been verify

well you can add the roles when the user did the command

[latent dragon]

ok

[worthy wagon]

Anyway to make this work and snipe images?

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message.

[worthy wagon]

yes dude

I've been through that 300,000 times

I'm not quite understanding it, and I've been at it for nearly 2 hours, ready to smash my keyboard lmao

[boreal ravine]

you managed to snipe a message

but not an attachment

[worthy wagon]

correct

[boreal ravine]

show me what you did for that

whats snipe_message_content supposed to be

[slate swan]

wont this always make the list None?

[boreal ravine]

yes

he didn't append anything to it

[worthy wagon]

yeah, so I tried changing it a few times, removing it, and I don't know, that's where I'm stumped, I fixed that issue with the basic snipe command, but not this one.

[boreal ravine]

What basic snipe command

[worthy wagon]

Not basic, original, poor choice of wording on my part.

[boreal ravine]

well

your snipe command right now is gonna snipe the message content of the command

[worthy wagon]

my snipe command works fine.

But the images one isn't currently working

[boreal ravine]

like I said

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message.

[boreal ravine]

It's an attr of message

[slate swan]

👀 you would be saving the image

When trying to run this I get many problems, first, only the first emoji is added to msg, second when a user adds a reaction nothing happens. Any help is appreciated.

[maiden fable]

Are there any error(s)?

[hollow palm]

no

[maiden fable]

do u have an error handler?

!charinfo uE23A

[unkempt canyon]

Character Info

\u0075 : LATIN SMALL LETTER U - u

\u0041 : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A - A

Full Raw Text

\u0075\u0045\u0032\u0033\u0041

[maiden fable]

Hmm. Can I see the second emoji?

Also, can u try using the unicode version?

Like \👍

[hollow palm]

http://www.iemoji.com/view/emoji/316/symbols/play-button

This website lists it as u"\uE23A"

[maiden fable]

:play:

Breh wait

\⏯️ U can use this

I think discord doesn't support the other play button emoji

[hollow palm]

▶

[maiden fable]

\▶️

Copy paste this then

[hollow palm]

Ok that part works but that still doesnt explain why I'm not getting a response to a reaction from the user

[maiden fable]

Same thing

Don't use unicodes

reaction.emoji == "▶️"

[hollow palm]

How do I get one for pause

[maiden fable]

Just do \:emoji_name:

[final iron]

token

leaked

[maiden fable]

Yups

[final iron]

change it

[hollow palm]

Yeah i will

[final iron]

Do it now

[maiden fable]

Also, it is discord.Client not discord.client in the main file

[hollow palm]

This error didnt come up previously

i dont think its a problem with charachters thats causing no response to a reaction

[urban star]

What is

Shard?

Anyone?

[boreal ravine]

Well if your referring to shard as in sharding its a way to make your bot multi threaded (iirc)

[primal fox]

you use a task from the library or just a loop that calls asyncio.sleep()

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

[maiden fable]

U gotta check for response of the API and try seeing the status code....?

I mean, it totally depends on the API how it acts whenever it goes down tbh

[urban star]

Okay

[latent dragon]

what else do i add?

[slate swan]

hoow to make a prefix change command

@deep sorrel hoow to make a prefix change command

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**.

my webhook keeps adding the embed of the previous update(PS webhook is connected to my own application)
code

from discord_webhook import DiscordWebhook, DiscordEmbed
import os
web_url = os.environ['durl']
webhook = DiscordWebhook(url=web_url)

# create embed object for webhook
# you can set the color as a decimal (color=242424) or hex (color='03b2f8') number
def send(app, action):
  embed = DiscordEmbed(title=app, description=action, color='03b2f8')
  webhook.add_embed(embed)
  webhook.execute()

@boreal ravine hoow to make a prefix change command

@boreal ravine hoow to make a prefix change command

how can i get a bot to list flags and device+status like this?

[tardy lagoon]

is dispy ded?

[slate swan]

no

[tardy lagoon]

nextcord is the new thing now?

?

help

[bronze remnant]

hi

[tardy lagoon]

google says its discontinued

[slate swan]

It's good but there alternatives

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.public_flags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.public\_flags

property public_flags```
Equivalent to [`User.public_flags`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.public_flags "discord.User.public_flags")

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status: discord.enums.Status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") instead.

[slate swan]

ty

[boreal ravine]

bruh

[blazing beacon]

@maiden fable nvm

[boreal ravine]

why not just use discord.py's webhook thing

[blazing beacon]

i realized its against rules 😭

[blazing beacon]

cuz im not using the package its not a discord bot its just that this part of my app is related to discord

[boreal ravine]

👍

[distant tinsel]

hi

[neon oyster]

What happens if i do this and it doesnt find anything in the checks? py UPDATE levels SET experience = ?,level = ? WHERE guild = 1 AND user = 2 (10, 1)

[tardy lagoon]

so
dispy is really discontinued?

[neon oyster]

ik it updates nothing but is there a way to see that it updated nothing?

[slate swan]

Yes

[tardy lagoon]

ok

I'll just use nextcord
it's same structure easy to migrate

[slate swan]

Mhm

Just change discord.Embed to nextcord.Embed

[tardy lagoon]

ye

You can use math library or just the normal +, /, - etc.

[blazing beacon]

anyone got responses

[tardy lagoon]

yo

[tardy lagoon]

how to do menus fiscord

[latent dragon]

i need help

[boreal ravine]

1. show full error
2. dont copy shit code

[boreal ravine]

full

that isnt full

[boreal ravine]

hm

u tried to index some out of range

ur gawtime maybe

[latent dragon]

hmm

[boreal ravine]

menus?

[tardy lagoon]

ye

discord menus

[latent dragon]

so what do i fix?

[boreal ravine]

wait why are you indexing time at time_convert[time[-1]]

[slate swan]

The correct question is why are you using that theme, makes my eyes water

[covert igloo]

^^^^

[boreal ravine]

gaw?

[latent dragon]

i like it lmao

[slate swan]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[covert igloo]

Godawful

[latent dragon]

ur opinion, idm

[boreal ravine]

@latent dragon

[slate swan]

So they get the last character in the string

You can index a string like you do with a list

[latent dragon]

i was just typing that

[boreal ravine]

ah

[boreal ravine]

you were?

[latent dragon]

yes

[slate swan]

!e ```py
string = "1m"
print(string[-1])

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

m

[boreal ravine]

xD

welp Idk how to solve that problem

[slate swan]

Try printing users

See what that prints

Because I'm pretty sure you have more than 1 awaitable in there

@latent dragon

[latent dragon]

ok

[slate swan]

Ok nvm

I just tested it out and it works fine for me

Must be a random (the module) issue

[latent dragon]

so u want me to print users?

still

[slate swan]

No

[slate swan]

Anyways, you could try a workaround by using randing and getting a random number from 0 to the len(users) - 1, and then index at that random number

[latent dragon]

ok

i forgot to import random too

there

let me see if it works now

[slate swan]

Oh 😂

[latent dragon]

lmao it still has the same error

[slate swan]

That's weird

[slate swan]

Did you try this?

If you still get it then just print the users and len(users)

Do you have some global variable named users in your file

[latent dragon]

winner = random.choice len(users)

?

[slate swan]

No

[latent dragon]

no

[slate swan]

winner = users[random.randint(0, len(users) - 1)]

[latent dragon]

alr imma try it

same error

[slate swan]

Print the users

[latent dragon]

how? i know little in py i specialize in js

[slate swan]

print(users)

Printing is the first thing you learn

[latent dragon]

len print(users)?

[slate swan]

No

Just print(users)

[latent dragon]

ok

[slate swan]

Why are you making a discord bot if you don't know the basics wtf

[boreal ravine]

make js bot lol?

[slate swan]

Knowing how to print is the first thing you learn in any language

[slate swan]

^^

[boreal ravine]

discord.js has more features xD

[slate swan]

It does?

[latent dragon]

ik but i made so many js bots i wanted to try something new yfm

@slate swan winner = users[random.randint(0, print(users) - 1)]?

[slate swan]

Understandable, but learn the language first, you didn't even learn the basics

[slate swan]

You are so far off omg

Just print(users), nothing more

[boreal ravine]

wtf

you cant print something like that

[slate swan]

Here I'll give you an example in js, maybe it'll make it more clear

console.log(users);

Is exactly the same as

print(users)

[latent dragon]

ohhhhhhh

lmao

[slate swan]

🤦‍♂️

[boreal ravine]

xD

!e

class con:
  def log(self, value):
    print(value)
console = con()
console.log("users xD")

[unkempt canyon]

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

users xD

[latent dragon]

so lmk if this is right

[slate swan]

Pyscript 😎

[latent dragon]

winner = print(users)

[slate swan]

Javathon 😎

[latent dragon]

?

[slate swan]

No

Stop assigning it to a variable

[latent dragon]

alr

[slate swan]

You don't assign console.log to a variable in Javascript do you

[boreal ravine]

lmaOO

[latent dragon]

no

[slate swan]

Then why are you doing it now

[boreal ravine]

imagine someone made a javascript IDE inside of python

[latent dragon]

who tf would do that

[boreal ravine]

you

[slate swan]

Idk but that's exactly what you just did

[latent dragon]

lmao alr

[boreal ravine]

just print user

did u print it?

[latent dragon]

ok but i have this

await ctx.send(f"Congratulations! {winner.mention} has won the giveaway for **{prize}**")

[slate swan]

Comment it out

Select it and press ctrl + /

[boreal ravine]

thats javascript

[slate swan]

If you're using vsc

[boreal ravine]

oh

[slate swan]

It's a vsc shortcut

I use it whenever I have to comment a lot of lines out

[boreal ravine]

oh

why not just shift + "

[slate swan]

So instead of commenting each one individually I just select them and use ctrl+/ and it auto comments all of them

[latent dragon]

its not a error im saying the {winner.mention} is assigned to the winner = random.choice(users)

[slate swan]

A comment is #

[boreal ravine]

yes

but """"still works"""

[slate swan]

Yeah, comment everything out so you won't get an error

[slate swan]

Ig

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[latent dragon]

its not in my terminal

[slate swan]

How is it not

Show the code

[latent dragon]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def giveaway(ctx, time=None, *, prize=None):
    if time == None:
        return await ctx.send('Please include a timer!')
    elif prize == None:
        return await ctx.send('Please include a prize!')
    embed = discord.Embed(title='New Giveaway!', description=f'{ctx.author.mention} is giving away **{prize}**')
    time_convert = {"s":1, "m":60, "h":3600, "d":86400} 
    gawtime = int(time[0]) * time_convert[time[-1]]
    embed.set_footer(text=f'Giveaway ends is {time}')
    gaw_msg = await ctx.send(embed = embed)

    await gaw_msg.add_reaction("🎉")      
    await asyncio.sleep(gawtime)

    new_gaw_msg = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(gaw_msg.id)

    users = await new_gaw_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten()
    users.pop(users.index(client.user))

   print(users)

    await ctx.send(f"Congratulations! {winner.mention} has won the giveaway for **{prize}**")```

[slate swan]

Properly use codeblocks reading this is awful

Also how did you not get an indentation error, because unless discord fucked up your indentation, your print is two spaces behind the actual indent

[latent dragon]

it messed up m indentation

[slate swan]

Are you invoking the command then

[latent dragon]

i got a new error

[boreal ravine]

define winner

[slate swan]

Yes because I told you to comment it out

[latent dragon]

shift + /

right?

[slate swan]

Anyways it seems like the users print just fine as a list, which is weird because for some reason you get the index error when using random

[slate swan]

Yes

Or just add a # at the start of it

[latent dragon]

k

it printed []

[boreal ravine]

append smth to the list

obv it has no values

[slate swan]

Alr found your error, managed to reproduce it

[latent dragon]

alr

[boreal ravine]

reproduce 😳

[slate swan]

You get that error because the list is empty, so when using random.choice and it tries to index, it raises the IndexError

So after you pop the bot user from the users list, check if the len(users) is 0, if it is that means the list is empty and just return because there's no winner, no one reacted

[slate swan]

😏

[latent dragon]

its 0

[slate swan]

Ik

So by using an if statement, after checking that it's 0, add a return, since no one reacted (you could also send a message announcing that there's no winner and then add the return)

[latent dragon]

so like a if len(users) = 0 return await ctx.send('there is no winner')?

[slate swan]

It's ==, also don't forget your indent, not all in one line

Also a : after the 0

[latent dragon]

ok

do i go back to winners = random.choice(users)

or winner = users[random.randint(0, (users) - 1)]

[slate swan]

First

[latent dragon]

the first one?

[slate swan]

Yes

[latent dragon]

k

winners = random.choice(users)
if (users) == 0:
return await ctx.send('There is no winner')

?

[slate swan]

No

You're gonna get the same error again

Put winners = ... below

Also it's len(users)

[latent dragon]

    if (users) == 0:
        return await ctx.send('There is no winner')
        winners = random.choice len(users)```?

[slate swan]

@boreal ravine you take it from here I'm done, going back to sleep 🚶‍♂️

Because it seems that I'm not making myself clear of what he's supposed to do 🤦‍♂️

[latent dragon]

im confused can u just type it?

so i can paste it?

[slate swan]

"so i can paste it?" no, would be better if you'd learn some python, your knowledge of it is clearly 0

[latent dragon]

i need to see what ur telling me so i can see it

[slate swan]

You also needed to see how to print something?? Really? 😂

[boreal ravine]

im playing a game 🚶‍♂️

[slate swan]

Atp this is just basic python 😂

[slate swan]

Alr

[latent dragon]

i started py two days ago chill tf out

i already told u i do js

[slate swan]

And ur into a discord bot with that amount of basically no knowledge 🤡

[latent dragon]

this is the whole reason im in this server

[slate swan]

Then make the bot in js 🙃

[latent dragon]

to learn more py

[slate swan]

Chill hes basically saying dont go to discord.py without basic py knowledge

[slate swan]

you dont show any signs you have done programming before even in another language

[slate swan]

Do that first, before starting a discord bot

[slate swan]

^^

[latent dragon]

i know 3 other langs but alr

[slate swan]

Sorry he gets aggressive when he doesnt sleep🛌

hes using basic terminology you should be able to follow

If you would've done any kind of coding before this would've been a lot easier than it was

Its true what their saying

Tbh

[latent dragon]

i learn by seeing stuff with my eyes thats all im asking

[slate swan]

questionable but 👍

[latent dragon]

u typing it out so i can see it would help me learn

[slate swan]

Api reference before you come here

You wanna learn more python? Sure, but don't go into projects that require you to already know a good amount of python, also, even when I told you how to print and even gave you an equivalent to what print() looks like in js, you still did it completely wrong, showing that you don't know js either

[latent dragon]

ik js lmao

[slate swan]

You mean you know what ctrl+c and ctrl+v does? Good for you 😂

[boreal ravine]

👀

[latent dragon]

i just still dont understand print() cause it prints in terminal

[latent dragon]

i learned js 2 years ago but alr bud

[slate swan]

And where does console.log output it? Somewhere else??

deadass lol

You said you've made discord bots in js, if you run your bot and have a console.log, where does it output the value?? Not in the console like print does? 😂

[latent dragon]

ik that

[slate swan]

😂

[boreal ravine]

I learnt js a month ago and I know how to print things 😎

[slate swan]

Then how do you not understand print() when I literally gave you what print() is in js

[slate swan]

I learnt js last week

Actually probably 2 weeks ago

[latent dragon]

pritn in js is console.log

[slate swan]

Yes

[latent dragon]

print*

[slate swan]

I haven't even learned it😎

[latent dragon]

like when u do node main.js

[slate swan]

whats your point

[slate swan]

😎

[latent dragon]

it runs off of client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Akairo is online!');

[slate swan]

Big brain

[boreal ravine]

thats to run a file in the shell

[slate swan]

That's the event, what's actually printing in the console is console.log

[steep estuary]

how to disable create threads permissions

[slate swan]

You clearly don't know anything of js either

[latent dragon]

node main.js to run the bot u put that in the terminal

[slate swan]

Go to role settings => create public threads => disable

[maiden fable]

Hm?

[boreal ravine]

isn't there a run file button

[slate swan]

Works in the shell too

[latent dragon]

ik

[latent dragon]

yes but u can do node main.js

[boreal ravine]

i know

[slate swan]

@latent dragon just say your a rookie theres nothing bad being a rookie 🤷‍♂️

[steep estuary]

i am asking in discord.py >:/ by bot

[latent dragon]

in py i am lmao

[boreal ravine]

!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.

[boreal ravine]

^

[latent dragon]

i have over 30 working bots in js

[steep estuary]

what is for threads ?

i didn't got it in docs

[slate swan]

Oh using code, edit the role's overwrites, idk if threads got added tho

[boreal ravine]

Idk u can check in the permissions tab

[latent dragon]

thats why i wanted to learn some py

[steep estuary]

create_threads=False

[boreal ravine]

ig

[steep estuary]

?

[slate swan]

Most blatant lie I've ever heard, lemme guess, all they do is just send hello world in the chat 😂

[boreal ravine]

lol

[latent dragon]

tf no

[tough wagon]

!d discord.Permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions

class discord.Permissions(permissions=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up the Discord permission value.

The properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools. This allows you to edit permissions.

Changed in version 1.3: You can now use keyword arguments to initialize [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") similar to [`update()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.update "discord.Permissions.update").

[slate swan]

Unless you copy-pasted all their code, I doubt they'd be able to do anything else 😂😂

[latent dragon]

yeah totally

[slate swan]

Just like you did right now with the giveaway command 🤡

[tough wagon]

@steep estuary

[latent dragon]

i bet u cant even do embed in js lmao

[boreal ravine]

do embed?

[slate swan]

Because I don't even need to

Also, embed isn't js related, it's djs related lmao

[latent dragon]

obv

[steep estuary]

and for send msges in thread?

[slate swan]

Your going on a killings spree lmao

[latent dragon]

im saying u dont know how to code a embed in djs

[boreal ravine]

https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/embeds.html#using-the-embed-constructor it has the same syntax for embeds though

[steep estuary]

ok ty :))

[slate swan]

Hard violation

[slate swan]

And I'm saying that I don't even need to, unlike you who probably copies it every time 😂😂

[tough wagon]

pls stop?

[boreal ravine]

camelCasing funny

[latent dragon]

copies yh fs

[boreal ravine]

wut

[slate swan]

Me rn: 😮 🍿

[tough wagon]

what wut

[boreal ravine]

U attached an image

what was it for

[tough wagon]

yes

[slate swan]

Telling us to stop the Off-topic convo

[tough wagon]

to you stop talking about djs bruh

[slate swan]

Because I'll agree, all this fight is very Off-topic

[boreal ravine]

good point

[slate swan]

Do you need member intents for on_member_join ?

[tough wagon]

yes

[slate swan]

No right

Oh

[slate swan]

Anything related to members correct?

Is it possible or a way to make the bot read the messages in a log channel and see if something specific has been sent in the channel?

[slate swan]

Yes

[slate swan]

Thx

[tough wagon]

@slate swan

[boreal ravine]

on_message ig

[slate swan]

Oh

Thx

[tough wagon]

check in on_message

[slate swan]

on_message will trigger when someone types, I have a mute command, my bot sends information to the logs channel, and I want to make a new command that checks the users history and then the bot needs to go through everymessage the bot sent in the logs and get that information

Use channel.history

[boreal ravine]

ah

[slate swan]

okay ty

[tough wagon]

or save in database

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [`AsyncIterator`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AsyncIterator "discord.AsyncIterator") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permissions to use this.

Examples

Usage...

[slate swan]

It's gonna be very slow at some point tho, discord limitation, so better save it in a database instead
