lemm try agan

[spiral frigate]

I 've thought it all out

[slate swan]

?

[spiral frigate]

I made it shorter

[slate swan]

[waxen granite]

    async def removeserverstats(self, ctx):
        guild = str(ctx.guild.id)
        self.serverstats.pop(guild)
        await ctx.send("Done")```
well no errors now but didnt remove it from json i think

[slate swan]

Because you haven't saved anything

You're just editing the dictionary in runtime

[waxen granite]

before

[slate swan]

so did it sent done?

[slate swan]

its a json

[waxen granite]

yes

[slate swan]

If you don't save it it doesn't matter

endomorph , you gotta dump it to the json too

[waxen granite]

after it should be

[slate swan]

thats the point :p

Yeah as I said, you never saved it after edition

[waxen granite]

hm

[slate swan]

so you would be assigning a variable for the pop , and
json.dump(variable , file)

[slate swan]

Still editing a dictionary

JSON is just a way to represent arrays and dictionaries as a text file

[waxen granite]

done

all good

ty guys

[slate swan]

i meant , they wont have to dump a dictionary to save it , but for a json they would need to

[stiff nexus]

how do i start a task when the task is in a different cog and the cmd to start is in different cog?

[slate swan]

import the task , and .run() it

its basically just a function

[stiff nexus]

how do i import it

its like:

    @tasks.loop(minutes=10)
    async def meme(self):
      ....

[slate swan]

is it inside a class?

its just like importing a normal python function

[boreal ravine]

from file import meme

[slate swan]

from filename.classname import functionname

[boreal ravine]

^

[slate swan]

you would be able to import it but i doubt you wont be able to do anything with self

👀

[stiff nexus]

nope

[slate swan]

so , why do you have self there?

[stiff nexus]

coz i need it

[boreal ravine]

y

[stiff nexus]

like self.bot.get_channal() to get the channel where i want to send things

[slate swan]

you can pass the bot object instead 😉

[stiff nexus]

ik

[slate swan]

well , since you want to use it inside a cog , and it would for sure have a self.bot so sure

[stiff nexus]

but how do i make it a class?

[boreal ravine]

make it

[stiff nexus]

this

[stiff nexus]

nice help

[boreal ravine]

make the function

inside the class

put the function*

[slate swan]

just cut it / copy it , and paste it inside the class with correct indentations :>

How do I kick members?

discord.Member.kick

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.kick

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.kick

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

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

[slate swan]

you can give a reason too

^

async def kick(ctx , user : discord.Member):
await bot.kick(user)

nuuuu

you can either use py await ctx.guild.kick(user)
or py await user.kick()

[boreal ravine]

^

[slate swan]

btw naming the arg as member is better choice according to pep8 , just saying

[boreal ravine]

maybe

he wants to a kick a user

😂

[maiden fable]

You can't kick a user....?

[slate swan]

yeah , a User , user above is a discord.Member tho

[slate swan]

It displays Missing Permissions in the terminal

[maiden fable]

Yea, discord.Member is a subclass of discord.User

[maiden fable]

U don't have perms to kick the member

[slate swan]

your bot cannot kick the user due to insuficcient perms

[slate swan]

The bot has owner perms and also i have perms

the role heirachy

[maiden fable]

And u tryna kick yourself?

[maiden fable]

[slate swan]

no

a friend

you gave your friend a higher role than your bot mb

Alright thanks so much for the help

[boreal ravine]

users

are discord users

not guild members

[boreal ravine]

yes

[steady flume]

how to make all words turn black, not just commas

embed.add_field(name='Aliases:', value=value=f'`` ,'.join(ctx.command.aliases), inline=False)

i tried this

[vocal magnet]

value=f"`{' ,'.join(ctx.command.aliases)}`"

[steady flume]

thank you very much!

how to make a deposit command, where you can specify your value, or you can enter "all" instead of the number, in short, like Dank Memer

[boreal ravine]

check for the args ig

[kindred epoch]

set the options as str, if its all then dep all, if its a number then first convert it to a int and then dep

or maybe you can set 2 options

[slate swan]

a command function with an argument with int and str as Union would work

[steady flume]

how to set then 2 options?

[kindred epoch]

1 option as amount and 1 option as all which will be bool

[kindred epoch]

show ur code

[steady flume]

ik, but how set up 2 options

[steady flume]

hold on a sec

    async def deposit_bal(self, ctx, amount: int):

        balance = local_collection.find_one({"_id": ctx.author.id})["balance"]
        amount2 = bank + amount
        if amount <= 0:
            embed = discord.Embed(
                description=f"{ctx.author.mention}, you cannot increase the bank balance by a ``negative value``",

                mention_author=True)

too big ig

[kindred epoch]

show ur decorator

also what lib are you using

[steady flume]

2nd version

[kindred epoch]

what

2.0?

[steady flume]

yes

lol

async def deposit_bal(self, ctx, amount: int):

[kindred epoch]

ok, can you show ur decorator for that command

[ornate lichen]

does anyone have an example of using https://www.reddit.com/r/memes.json in a discord bot

[steady flume]

@kindred epoch im a bit dumb and idk whats decorator

heh

[kindred epoch]

@bot.command

[kindred epoch]

use praw to get memes

!pypi asyncpraw

[unkempt canyon]

asyncpraw v7.4.0

Async PRAW, an abbreviation for `Asynchronous Python Reddit API Wrapper`, is a python package that allows for simple access to reddit's API.

[steady flume]

@kindred epoch

@commands.command(
        name="deposit",
        aliases=["Deposit", "dep", "Dep"],
        brief="Deposit money into your bank account from your pocket! You can also use arguments like 'max' and 'all'. You cannot deposit past your bank space allows, which you can see in balance.",
        usage="deposit <amount>"

    )
    async def deposit_bal(self, ctx, amount: int):

[kindred epoch]

ah ok

[ornate lichen]

but i want to fetch for http

from

request

[kindred epoch]

so to get more options use the args, add all: bool next to amount

[ornate lichen]

becos idk how to use that

[steady flume]

async def deposit_bal(self, ctx, amount: int, all: bool):

??

[rare saddle]

How do you know member correctly?

[kindred epoch]

ye

[steady flume]

then how to make condition with all ?

[kindred epoch]

?

[steady flume]

i mean plz dep all

[kindred epoch]

is it a slash command or a normal command?

[steady flume]

bot will work with all

[steady flume]

normal cmd, plz - my pref

for my bot

[kindred epoch]

bruh

then remove all and set amount as str

[ornate lichen]

any example?

since the website u send is using asyncpraw for smth else

@kindred epoch

??

[rare saddle]

Please tell me how to find out a member?

[ornate lichen]

tysm

😄

[kindred epoch]

What are you trying to do?

[reef shell]

what is this library

[rare saddle]

I am creating a ticket system, and when another person clicks the button, information about me is still displayed, because it says ctx.author, and I need information to be displayed about who clicked the button

[rare saddle]

dislash

[spring obsidian]

use py-cord or nextcord

[rare saddle]

Do you want me to rewrite the entire system?

[kindred epoch]

Why?

[spring obsidian]

no

[spring obsidian]

it is easier like that

[spring obsidian]

just use pycord they have built-in support slash command

[viscid plover]

i want bot to add reaction to it's message and store ids of members that react to it in a list

[kindred epoch]

Huh?

[viscid plover]

i read the react section of documentation but can't figure out

[kindred epoch]

I'm pretty sure dislash and disnake is better than it

[spring obsidian]

bro they are forks of discord.py

[kindred epoch]

Pycord only supports slash commands where as disnake and dislash supports slash commands, context menus and apps

[kindred epoch]

Pycord is also a fork of d.py

[rare saddle]

Can someone help me with my question?

[spring obsidian]

pycord supports all of them

[kindred epoch]

Whoever clicks the button is called inter.author

[kindred epoch]

Can you send the docs for it?

[spring obsidian]

ok

[rare saddle]

okay, thanks

[slate swan]

all of them is still beta for pycord

disnake released them long ago

[spring obsidian]

pycord is now official

[kindred epoch]

Still waiting

[slate swan]

yes , but not slash commands and stuff

https://pycord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

[spring obsidian]

they have slash_commands built it

[kindred epoch]

Only reason pycord is popular is because of the owner having a yt channel and an already existing large discord server

[slate swan]

why dont i see that in their docs

[wicked atlas]

http://pycord.rtfd.org/en/master

[slate swan]

( it exists in master branch , beta i.e.)

[slate swan]

that's beta , right?

[wicked atlas]

Honestly not sure

[slate swan]

what else would master mean

[wicked atlas]

Yeah, i think it the in-development version

it's still on 1.7.3 on pypi

[slate swan]

thats the point , disnake already is stable and released with 2.1.5

[kindred epoch]

And the fact that they haven't even changed the discord invite link is just....

[wicked atlas]

I'm pretty sure it's because those docs are from the latest "release" of it, which is from when it was first forked from discord.py

[slate swan]

the stable release docs are just forked from discord.py's
master branch docs has been curated

with the blue&white snake logo

[rare saddle]

Please tell me how to find the channel id?

[zenith zinc]

[cursive pelican]

How do I get voice input or the loudness of a user in a voice channel

[rocky rose]

Hi I have a question. A friend of me programmed a discord bot, but when it gets large numbers, it responses with an e-form. Is there a way to disable this and get the full number displayed?

[rare saddle]

Why is this counter not working?

[ornate lichen]

prawcore.exceptions.ResponseException: received 401 HTTP response```

what does this mean

[rocky rose]

Where is your variabele n

And you don't need to say global

while number < 5: Number +=1

This should work

[rocky rose]

What libraries do you use?

[ornate lichen]

i think i might have authentication issues

praw btw

[spiral rune]

hello can anyone pls help me out?

i am using repl to make a bot

and the error which is showing up is

a type error

i've checked the video many times

and my code is similar with the one in the video

still...

pls help

[ornate lichen]

what are you trying to do

api?

[vagrant topaz]

if you are using .env w/ repl there is something special you have to do. You also shouldn't name your TOKEN variable with your actual token

also you shared your bot token so you should probably regenerate it

[hollow palm]

He should use @ client.command rather than events for commands, no?

[vagrant topaz]

nah his code is fine the way it is

[vagrant topaz]

code?

[zenith zinc]

ok wait

[kindred epoch]

yes

[vagrant topaz]

although it is recommended for EXT, he doesnt have to

[zenith zinc]

@commands.command()
  async def join(self,ctx,*, channel: discord.VoiceChannel):
   if not ctx.message.author.voice:
    await ctx.send(f"You are not in voice channel {ctx.author.mention}")
   else:
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"JOIN", color=0x36393e)
    embed.add_field(name=f":succsess: I join  {channel.id}", value="``Type .wp {music name} to play music ``", inline=False)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
    await channel.connect()```

[vagrant topaz]

and his code works fine

[vagrant topaz]

and thats in a cog right?

[spiral rune]

yes i regenerated it:>

[zenith zinc]

yea

[spiral rune]

meaning?

[vagrant topaz]

then probably user erro

[kindred epoch]

but is it better to use @bot.command? yes

[vagrant topaz]

with .ext yes

[spiral rune]

like example can u pls give me an example? @vagrant topaz

[vagrant topaz]

client.run(os.environ('token'))```OR
```py
client.run("token")```

[kindred epoch]

and using on_message as a command is just dumb

when theres already a a thing for command which makes your life easier

[spiral rune]

yea this is my code but still not working

[vagrant topaz]

its not

os.environ should literally say token, not your bot token

and specifiy that in the environment variables tab

[zenith zinc]

how fix?

[vagrant topaz]

set py async def join(self, ctx, *, channel: discord.VoiceChannel=None):

[cloud dawn]

Use the discord api

[vagrant topaz]

specify on oauth2 authorization

[steady flume]

hepl plz

[vagrant topaz]

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

[vagrant topaz]

bruh wtf is your problem

"help plz" is not descriptive

[steady flume]

on photo

[steady flume]

help me please

[vagrant topaz]

yeah ik but it annoys me every fucking time

[cloud dawn]

Bank or amount is a string

[vagrant topaz]

make it int('1234')

[rigid torrent]

I don't understand

[vagrant topaz]

what are you trying to do

[zenith zinc]

thats work

[vagrant topaz]

no i dont think so with discord.py

check api docs before asking, its most likely there

[zenith zinc]

how my bot tag voice channel

on join in voice channel

[vagrant topaz]

what

[steady flume]

i just want make cmd where i need specify amount (int) or i can type "all" or "max" instead of amount, one guy said me that code, but there is mistake - how to solve this ?

[kindred epoch]

who said that?

[vagrant topaz]

where is his code

[zenith zinc]

how does my bot tag a channel when it enters a particular channel

@vagrant topaz

help?

me

[vagrant topaz]

can you not

i literally fucking told you

[zenith zinc]

BROOOOOOO

see

[kindred epoch]

why would you do that when you can just do channel.mention

[vagrant topaz]

oh true my bad

[hollow palm]

Your complicating a join command, you dont have to have a channel arg or self

[vagrant topaz]

self because cog

[zenith zinc]

Join in and channel mention @vagrant topaz

[vagrant topaz]

you cant do channel.mention in ``i think

[kindred epoch]

why would you not

[vagrant topaz]

it breaks it

[hard trail]

How to make your bot join a vc?

[vagrant topaz]

just do {channelname}

[kindred epoch]

?

[vagrant topaz]

watch:
#help-apple

just prints name

[hollow palm]

Unless he wants the user to have to put in channel every time he can just see what channel the user is in and join that

[kindred epoch]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.mention

property mention: str```
The string that allows you to mention the channel.

[zenith zinc]

it so easy

[hard trail]

I was responding to you lol

[acoustic ermine]

if not "@everyone" in message.content.lower() and not "@here" in message.content.lower() and not "613752401878450176" in message.content.lower(): 
    rayyanw786 = await self.client.fetch_user(613752401878450176)
    if rayyanw786.mentioned_in(message):
        await message.reply("test")

so i have this on_message
but it seems to reply after 20 seconds

i dont understand why it replied after 20 seconds as i have other if statments
and they reply instantly

[undone wyvern]

No need to be rude. If they knew they wouldn't have asked.

[kindred epoch]

probably ur fetch_user

[acoustic ermine]

what would be a replacement

[slate swan]

Use ...get_user(id) or await ...fetch_user(id)

[kindred epoch]

get_user

[slate swan]

Then it tries to get the user from cache

And if it returned None, it automatically uses fetch_

[acoustic ermine]

kk

ill try it now

[vagrant topaz]

why are you using client instead of bot

nvm

[slate swan]

i can switch

[vagrant topaz]

when you try to run it or on command

[slate swan]

in my main script im using bot

[vagrant topaz]

you dont have to

[slate swan]

on command

I did the

[vagrant topaz]

which one

[slate swan]

!ping command

[unkempt canyon]

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #bot-commands channel instead.

[slate swan]

it not work
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'leave'

[vagrant topaz]

one sec

[vagrant topaz]

your ID is wrong

[zenith zinc]

@commands.command()
  async def join(self,ctx,channel: discord.VoiceChannel=None):
   if channel:
    if not ctx.message.author.voice:
     await ctx.send(f"You are not in voice channel {ctx.author.mention}")
   else:
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"JOIN", color=0x36393e)
    embed.add_field(name=f":succsess: I join in {channel.id} ", value="``Type .wp {music name} to play music ``", inline=False)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
    await channel.connect()``` like this @vagrant topaz

[vagrant topaz]

omfg

[zenith zinc]

ok

relax sorry im dump

[vagrant topaz]

if channel: channel = self.client.get_channel(channel)```

also

why are you getting the channel when its already defined as a VoiceChannel in your command args

[slate swan]

is correct

[zenith zinc]

@vagrant topaz bro

my error is {channel.id} error 'id'

[vagrant topaz]

its really not

unless your bot cannot retreive that guild

[vagrant topaz]

because voicechannel is none?

[slate swan]

.

[zenith zinc]

ok

replace in?

[vagrant topaz]

bruh move channel.connnect() to before the embed is sent

[vagrant topaz]

foudn the problem

you need self.client.latency instead of client.latency

[slate swan]

Oh yeah.

Thanks !

[vagrant topaz]

whenever you mention client, make sure to include self.client to instance the bot

[slate swan]

Alright, does that mean i can delete the import client thing?

oh no i cant nvm

[vagrant topaz]

yea

[vagrant topaz]

yes you can

i think thats also fucking with your setup() function

you have to remove it

[slate swan]

def init(self, bot):
self.client = client

i can change it to bot

[zenith zinc]

sorry no work

[vagrant topaz]

yes but make sure to change EVERY instance

[slate swan]

Ok.

[vagrant topaz]

if you cannot solve these basic problems you should really not be doing discord.py

[vagrant topaz]

because from discord import client is only for your main file to define and run the client

when you load a cog, discord calls setup() and passes in bot

[zenith zinc]

bro can you say some?

[vagrant topaz]

so you pretty much have to remove it unless you change every instance of client to bot

[vagrant topaz]

i've given you so much already

[vagrant topaz]

and even then client is pretty much useless

[zenith zinc]

nono i say you some

[vagrant topaz]

what

[slate swan]

Sooo sad, now the fucking bot doesnt start and it gives no error in terminal

[vagrant topaz]

show me ur main file

redact token ofc

[slate swan]

import random
import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands.bot import Bot

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
if filename.endswith('.py'):
bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')

bot.run('')

hi

how i start ??

[vagrant topaz]

b r uh

[slate swan]

go to yt

[zenith zinc]

im dump man bro i tryng fix but i wont to my bot send channel tag in text channel

[vagrant topaz]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#getting-started

[vagrant topaz]

NO DO NOT USE YOUTUBE

[slate swan]

tyy

[vagrant topaz]

DO NOT USE YOUTUBE

YOUTUBE IS SO TERRIBLE

[vagrant topaz]

english plz

define channel and connect before you send that embed

[slate swan]

lol

[vagrant topaz]

you are defining channel AFTER you send that embed and thats why its None

[slate swan]

Yeah?? I know the whole import is messed up.

[zenith zinc]

i just want my bot when it enters the voice channel to send in the text channel voice channel name it entered

[vagrant topaz]

honestly you should not be doing voice

voice is very difficult

[manic wing]

calm down mate jesus

[vagrant topaz]

its true tho

[slate swan]

Nevermind

it works now

[vagrant topaz]

channel = # define channel here
await channel.connect()
embed = # define embed here & use channel.id
await ctx.send(embed=embed)```\

[stiff nexus]

help?

main.py:88: DeprecationWarning: The object should be created within an async function
  self.session = aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=self.loop)
``` how do i not get this??

[zenith zinc]

i know but why not try

[vagrant topaz]

noice

[vagrant topaz]

because you need to have knowledge on basic python/discord concepts

[manic wing]

await aiohttp.ClientSession(…)

[vagrant topaz]

look 1 message above

[slate swan]

Thanks for the help @vagrant topaz

[manic wing]

aiohttp is an asynchronous library

[stiff nexus]

?

[vagrant topaz]

np lol

[stiff nexus]

ya

[vagrant topaz]

its good u fixed the problem urself

[manic wing]

you did = aiohttp.ClientSession, but I just told you it was async

therefore you await that function

[zenith zinc]

im trying find my problem on google

[vagrant topaz]

LMAO

[vagrant topaz]

bruh are you okay i even gave you code

[stiff nexus]

bruh how can u await in bot class? @manic wing

[manic wing]

you’re subclassing bot? you can just put it in on_ready

[zenith zinc]

I cut my veins because of the problem good night everyone 😗

[vagrant topaz]

ok

[hollow palm]

msg = await ctx.channel.send(f"`Now playing: {var3}` \n{url}")
await msg.add_reaction(u"\u23F8")
await msg.add_reaction(u"\u25B6")
while True:
  try:
    reaction, user = await client.wait_for("reaction_add", check=lambda reaction, user: reaction.emoji in [u"\u23F8", u"\u25B6"], timeout=90.0)
  
  except asyncio.TimeoutError:
    return await msg.clear_reactions()
  
  else:
    if reaction.emoji == u"\u23F8":
      await msg.remove_reaction(reaction.emoji, ctx.author)
      await ctx.voice_client.pause()
    elif reaction.emoji == u"\u25B6":
      await msg.remove_reaction(reaction.emoji, ctx.author)
      await ctx.voice_client.resume()

This code is supposed send a message showing what is playing, and bring up pause and play reactions which will pause and play the audio when reacted to by a user. Right now it only runs once during a run of the whole code, this means it will only respond the first time a user calls the command and does a reaction. For example, if a user plays something then pauses through the pause reaction it will pause, but if he then does the play reaction he will get no response. Likewise, if he plays another song after the first one and tries pausing or playing through the reaction he will get no response.

[zenith zinc]

I'm kidding I'm not "crazy"

[slate swan]

hii

[zenith zinc]

hii

[stiff nexus]

i see

[slate swan]

srry but the prob is i wann start but i dont know how to start someone please help me

[undone wyvern]

Start with what?

[manic wing]

where is the if for that else?

[zenith zinc]

life

lol

I am on mobile so I can’t really read and understand the code - If you’re still asking later I can help

[slate swan]

@manic winghi the thing u mentioned me ealier i just dont understand what to click

[manic wing]

just do embed = discord.Embed(*, timestamp=ctx.message.created_at where * represents what else your arguments might be

[manic wing]

please go to #python-discussion to ask non-discord bot related questions.

[slate swan]

alr

[kindred epoch]

is it sending any errors?

[hollow palm]

No

[manic wing]

We all want to learn python, but here isn’t the right place

[kindred epoch]

is it indented correctly?

[hollow palm]

Yes

[kindred epoch]

and whats wrong?

[hollow palm]

It only works once

Like you turn on the bot and use the reaction and then it never works again until you rerun the bot

[kindred epoch]

i dont see why it wont work

[hollow palm]

Yeah ive got no idea

[slate swan]

guys, throw off the command so that the bot exits from a certain server

[kindred epoch]

?

[manic wing]

!d discord.Guild.leave || probably what you’re looking for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.leave

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

Leaves the guild.

Note

You cannot leave the guild that you own, you must delete it instead via [`delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.delete "discord.Guild.delete").

[manic wing]

I'm on pc here, I don't get where that else is coming from.

[hollow palm]

Its from the try except

[waxen granite]

Is there a way to send the names of the permissions the bot is missing when an cmd is invoked?

ctx.error.name i think?

[slate swan]

ehh nothing else was happening so i don't think it matters that much but do you

[slate swan]

Still of topic this is a channel for discord bots

If I have a member object, how can I get the member object of the person who invited the member? (discord.py)

[fallen mica]

I'm pretty sure it is impossible, unless you already have a database setup which records all invites.

[slate swan]

How to record invites?

[wintry shore]

Caching

[slate swan]

Uh

[wintry shore]

Save members with the invite in your cache when ever they make an invite then you can just pull it off of your cache

[slate swan]

Yeah, but when someone joins the server, how do I get the member who invited him?

[marble pilot]

Can someone tell me how can i detect if a option has been pressed from a option menu?

[wintry shore]

Wait i potentially have a solution just gotta know if dpy supports it

Try this https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=get invite#discord.Client.fetch_invite

[kindred epoch]

whats that gonna do

[magic stump]

Can i put my bot on google cloud this work?

[wintry shore]

return an invite object from the invite url

[fallen mica]

As I mentioned, you need to setup a data base, log all members on join event with the invite they joined with, then you will have to make a command to read the data base logs with each user's value (value being the person who invited them)

[kindred epoch]

and

[wintry shore]

It has an inviter attribute which is the user who created rhe invite afaik https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=get invite#discord.Invite.inviter

As per the official api docs (not dpy docs)

the user who created the invite

[magic stump]

v

discord bots working 3.9 python?

[slate swan]

Yes why

[magic stump]

ok

[steady flume]

ik i was asking this, but i still cant understand guys, help me please with this error

i just want make cmd where u need put amount (int) and also u can put instead of number "all" or "max"

[slate swan]

#python-discussion

you can't do bank + amount

bank is an str and amount is an int

you prolly mean int(bank) + amount?

oh wait I know what u mean

check if amount's a string even before you try to add it to bank

[magic stump]

`Author identity unknown

#❓｜how-to-get-help or #python-discussion

is there a github discord for stuff like that?

[kindred epoch]

?

[dapper cobalt]

If you mean a template, then I do have one. https://github.com/ScopesCodez/python-discord-bot

[slate swan]

self-promotion

[dapper cobalt]

Well, not really. I'm just helping them out, and myself at the same time. It's a smart play, nothing more nothing less.

[pliant gulch]

Yikes, changing presence in on_ready and in a while-true loop

[dapper cobalt]

Might be from the second contributor, I don't do this. 👀

[pliant gulch]

No, lol this was you

[dapper cobalt]

Crap, I got caught.

[kindred epoch]

where do we set it up then?

cuz i dont have a thing where it needs to update every some amount of seconds

[dapper cobalt]

After a wait_until_ready function.

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_until\_ready

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

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

[pliant gulch]

In a task

[dapper cobalt]

It's because on_ready can be called multiple times.

[pliant gulch]

And if you mean not a loop, you can pass activity to the bots constructor

[dapper cobalt]

Though, I still won't bother to set the status outside the on_ready event. Why? Because.

[kindred epoch]

hm, didnt know about that lemme check that out

[slate swan]

how do i @ someone in code forgot

[kindred epoch]

.mention

[reef shell]

!d discord.User.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.mention

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

[echo wasp]

can someone help with this issue on Heroku?

[floral jacinth]

is it possible to delete user message on dm?

[echo wasp]

you mean if the user dms the bot delete their message to the bot or the bot's message to them?

[floral jacinth]

first

[echo wasp]

not possible due to being in dm so the bot doesn't have message perms on the other side

[echo wasp]

only can delete message of it's own

[floral jacinth]

oook

thx

[thick sigil]

@dapper cobalt

[slate swan]

!d discord.VoiceClient

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceClient

class discord.VoiceClient```
Represents a Discord voice connection.

You do not create these, you typically get them from e.g. [`VoiceChannel.connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceChannel.connect "discord.VoiceChannel.connect").

Warning

In order to use PCM based AudioSources, you must have the opus library installed on your system and loaded through [`opus.load_opus()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.opus.load_opus "discord.opus.load_opus"). Otherwise, your AudioSources must be opus encoded (e.g. using [`FFmpegOpusAudio`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.FFmpegOpusAudio "discord.FFmpegOpusAudio")) or the library will not be able to transmit audio.

[slate swan]

!d discord.VoiceProtocol.cleanup

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceProtocol.cleanup

cleanup()```
This method *must* be called to ensure proper clean-up during a disconnect.

It is advisable to call this from within [`disconnect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceProtocol.disconnect "discord.VoiceProtocol.disconnect") when you are completely done with the voice protocol instance.

This method removes it from the internal state cache that keeps track of currently alive voice clients. Failure to clean-up will cause subsequent connections to report that it’s still connected.

[slate swan]

do i call disconnect inside this?

[dapper cobalt]

Shut it.

[slate swan]

what happend?

[reef shell]

Wtf

[midnight juniper]

i just made a bot with some super basic stuff, and nothing happens, i need your brains here

import json
import os
import discord
import requests


client = discord.Client()


async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.find('robban'):
      for x in client.get_all_emojis():
          if x.id == ':wine_glass:':
              return await client.add_reaction(message, x)


my_secret = os.environ['TOKEN']
client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))```

what am i missing, it should react with an emoji when someone types robban, right?

[hazy fulcrum]

bank + int(amount) or bank += int(amount)

[hazy fulcrum]

You forgot the @client.event over the async def

import json
import os
import discord
import requests


client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.find('robban'):
      for x in client.get_all_emojis():
          if x.id == ':wine_glass:':
              return await client.add_reaction(message, x)


my_secret = os.environ['TOKEN']
client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

[floral jacinth]

how can i fix if total_request > 5 and str(ctx.author.name) is not in user_on: ?
the broken part is str(ctx.author.name) is not in user_on, i dunno how to write it

(user_on is a list)

[hazy fulcrum]

please revise that and show the code

all together

[floral jacinth]

i need only to do right sentence, i don't know how to do that control

i have to check if name isn't on that list

[midnight juniper]

thanks but still nothing tho =/

[kindred epoch]

@midnight juniper theres nothing called message.content.find and get_all_emoji

and id is supposed to be an int not a emoji

[midnight juniper]

no saw that now, im just grabbing stuff from stack overflow to see if i can get anything to happen at all

[hazy fulcrum]

oh..

[somber musk]

I haven't coded a discord bot in python so looong!

I've gotten used to js discord bots

[hazy fulcrum]

same

[midnight juniper]

async def on_message(message):
  if message.content == "ping":
    return await client.add_comment("pong")

but this should work right?

[kindred epoch]

so you're saying you dont have any experience with python?

[midnight juniper]

no?

[hazy fulcrum]

yes

[kindred epoch]

then why are you copying code from stackoverflow?

[hazy fulcrum]

wait no

[kindred epoch]

its outdated

[hazy fulcrum]

add_comment is not a function anymore I think

[somber musk]

1900s

[midnight juniper]

ok,

this is confusing

not u but all the depricated stuff

[kindred epoch]

@midnight juniper

[somber musk]

Do you want the user to actually ping the bot or just say ping

[midnight juniper]

isnt that exactly what being a pro coder is all about

[hazy fulcrum]

just do

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content == 'Give me Drugs':
     await message.reply('Alright here')

[midnight juniper]

cool

ill try

[somber musk]

Epic example @hazy fulcrum

[hazy fulcrum]

i know

[midnight juniper]

how darn awesome

thanks alot, now i just need to brush up that syntax, but at least i know it works

[hazy fulcrum]

if you dont want it like that, just do await message.send("Something")

no problem 🙂

[midnight juniper]

yeah i understand that 😉

thanks a million

[hazy fulcrum]

👍

[kindred epoch]

no

[somber musk]

You can also do

if message.content.startswith('give me drugs')
await message.channel.send('alright here')

Obviously with indents and shit

[midnight juniper]

well it is at my university 😉

[midnight juniper]

Thanks man!

[kindred epoch]

ok?

[midnight juniper]

do i close?

!close

haha ok no then

[hazy fulcrum]

you cant, its the official channel

[somber musk]

Also it seems like you don't know the basics of a discord bot, so u sure u don't wanna learn a bit of python be4 or are you just new to bots

[midnight juniper]

ive never touched bots

[somber musk]

I recommend just going through some tutorials on yt

[midnight juniper]

but im 3 months away from graduating as an IoT -dev

but ill check the youtube stuff

[somber musk]

Ooh really?

[kindred epoch]

no

yt tutorials are garbage

[somber musk]

Not for beginners like they seem to be

[kindred epoch]

bruh

[somber musk]

They will learn the fundamentals and basic knowledge of the bots

[kindred epoch]

all of them are outdated/will learn dumb stuff

[somber musk]

Not really

[kindred epoch]

best tutorial is this: https://vcokltfre.dev/

made by one of the helpers

and former project leads

[midnight juniper]

it seems like most of the examples are depricated stuff, or at least the ones i've found

[kindred epoch]

yea all of them are outdated/ do unefficient stuff

[somber musk]

There's these 30 view videos that are the best tutorials

Lmaoo

[midnight juniper]

haha

[somber musk]

Do u all have 24/7 bots?

[midnight juniper]

is it juicy?

[somber musk]

Hmm?

[kindred epoch]

wdym by all

and 24/7

[somber musk]

All = y'all referring to you guys
24/7 means always online

[midnight juniper]

ah yeah, replit

so its hella hosted'

[kindred epoch]

ew

[mortal dove]

Can I get an example on how to put links with custom display text in a discord.py embed?

[kindred forge]

what hosting are u using?

is it free?

[pliant gulch]

Aren't those only valid for 1 year

[kindred forge]

you mean free trial?

[mortal dove]

thanks @slate swan

[kindred forge]

btw is it possible to implement bots on facebook messenger ?

[stark hearth]

^^^

also tbh finding a hosting service for a discord bot is one of the hardest things in developing a bot due to the free trials and all

[kindred epoch]

no free hosts are good, only good free host is the free trial from aws

[stark hearth]

yeah

[stark hearth]

unless if you are willing to pay for a vps

or something

[slate swan]

Heroku is a good for being a free vps but paid ones are way better

[kindred epoch]

heroku isnt even supposed to be a host

[slate swan]

What is it then?

[valid perch]

Its for websites

[slate swan]

Yeah i know that but you could use it to but it isnt great

[valid perch]

Things that don't need to be up 24/7, but rather spin up on requests generally from what I've seen (heroku wise)

[slate swan]

Yeah i know what you mean

[slate swan]

You can still run a bot on heroku right but its not gonna be good?

[stark hearth]

im using heroku but really want to move out of it :(

[pliant gulch]

At least its better than repl.it

[valid perch]

Idk, I've never used it

[stark hearth]

yeah of course but it is not intended for discord py bots

[kindred epoch]

its not gonna be good and you're just destroying their platform

[valid perch]

I pay my few bucks a month for a vps lol

[kindred epoch]

same

vultr all the way

[slate swan]

I see

[kindred epoch]

or oceanblack or something like that

[pliant gulch]

Nah linode

[slate swan]

Ok

[stark hearth]

i use it myself like i said but thinking to move to a vps

anyways, what is a cheap and good vps?

[slate swan]

Yeah

Was about to ask that

[kindred epoch]

digitalocean*

[pliant gulch]

Linode

[slate swan]

[hazy fulcrum]

Replit is good, you can just buy hacker plan for 24/7 host. @midnight juniper

[stark hearth]

heard about that before

[valid perch]

Buy a vps at that point lol

[pliant gulch]

[hazy fulcrum]

true

[pliant gulch]

Theres no point to waste money on repl.it as a hosting service

That's just a waste of money

[stark hearth]

agreeed

[pliant gulch]

https://www.linode.com/pricing/

[hazy fulcrum]

true, unless your on a chromebook

[valid perch]

$7 a month, could spend half for more on a vps

[kindred epoch]

30$ monthly

[pliant gulch]

Those are dedicated servers

Look at the shared ones

[slate swan]

Whats a good vps that has a year plan?

[pliant gulch]

Oh yikes 1gb for 5$?

I guess they must've changed their stuff

[hazy fulcrum]

lol

replit for the win?

[pliant gulch]

Go for digital ocean then

[hazy fulcrum]

or just selfhost

[valid perch]

Idk, I feel vultr is good as an entry point but imma be jumping from my current provider to contabo soon since I want scale

[pliant gulch]

Has a 100 credit for 6 months

Cheap shared servers

[slate swan]

repl is not good

[pliant gulch]

Vultr was good as well, I used it before, but I do remember having it go offline for a few hours

[kindred epoch]

doesnt happen to me

[slate swan]

you can use free hacker codes like
techwithtim or
MH

[pliant gulch]

iirc its something about not having ddos protecting or whatever

[kindred epoch]

its the same as vultr

[pliant gulch]

But it was a odd situation

[stark hearth]

VULTR THATS THE ONE

[kindred epoch]

they start with $5 but vultr starts with 2.50

[stark hearth]

i was trying to find the name for a while lol

[pliant gulch]

Well, 1gb is a lot for a small discord bot

[stark hearth]

yeah

[kindred epoch]

yea

[pliant gulch]

Your only gonna be using like 300mb of memory or 600mb

Depending on members cache

[valid perch]

vultr good for the cheapness, and just getting in but when you grow I'd change to paying a bit more for way more

personally

[pliant gulch]

Rather just get a dedicated server and host more than just a discord bot

[stark hearth]

how do you deploy code into vultr? github or??

[valid perch]

I host way too much on my vps lol

[pliant gulch]

Seems kinda pointless to me to dedicate one server to hosting a bot after the market is so saturated

[slate swan]

Whats the minimal specs for a discord bot like 2gb? Of ram

[valid perch]

One of the reason I stopped bot dev and moved to making packages for developers and stuff. Better auidence as well, don't have to deal with people as much

[kindred epoch]

i host my db and bot on the same server 😬

[valid perch]

Not even, for small bots you get aware with little. What size is your bot?

Guild wise

[pliant gulch]

Ah making packages are amazing

Don't even get me started on contributors though

[slate swan]

Just 1 maybe 3 for future

[valid perch]

Dealing with developers vs dealing with people tryna use your bot tho

[pliant gulch]

Competent developers are fine

[valid perch]

So small. not somethiing you planning on scaling?

[pliant gulch]

Its the others that drive me insane

And I cba to write a code of conduct or contributing

[slate swan]

Not really its like a personal bot

[valid perch]

Heres my 1 guild bot with like ~30 members
https://gyazo.com/66471968967065d30f0b59631c2aa6df

[stark hearth]

how would do you deploy code into vultr?

[valid perch]

ftp it onto your server, or use docker via portainer

[kindred epoch]

you need to use filezilla

[stark hearth]

ah ok

[pliant gulch]

You guys FTP?

I just clone the repo and run it

[stark hearth]

ok ty

[slate swan]

Does members matter and i think 1gb is fine

[pliant gulch]

Memory scales with the amount of members

[valid perch]

Personally I just use docker via portainer, didn't ssh into my server for months outside of updates

[pliant gulch]

As it gets cached

[slate swan]

I see

[kindred epoch]

can you like connect ur github to vultr and automatically deploy from there?

[pliant gulch]

You probably can

[valid perch]

Heres stats on a 3.5k member bot
https://gyazo.com/7312f368575af0294a1c2c127c808d60

Doesn't get used a lot tho, but members should be cached

[kindred epoch]

cuz i can update files in github from atom

[stark hearth]

like if your bot stores in like mutes, warns, etc., the amount of members can determine how much memory you should get

[slate swan]

Ok

[valid perch]

So you get aware with the smallest vps your provider offers is all im saying

[valid perch]

Theres multiple ways to deploy code, you just find a way that works for you and use it

[kindred epoch]

im sure vultr with 3.50 or 2.50 plan can be good for like 200-250 server bot

[valid perch]

You just get the small one and scale when required

tbh

[kindred epoch]

the reason i got 3.50 was cuz of the ipv4 adress

[pliant gulch]

You can drop that number even lower with custom caching prob. On the top of my head chunk_on_startup=False then have a database store last active guilds and cache those, then pop them after a certain time

That's what I did for one of my production bots

[valid perch]

Yea, could optimize it but why bother personally. If it were bigger then yea but not fussed over ~40mb

[pliant gulch]

That is true

But then again discord.py isn't very performance efficient imo

The sharding isn't really sharding as well imo

Not what it could be at least

[valid perch]

Fair

How fair along is your api wrapper btw?

[pliant gulch]

Following the flow chart, only need converters, attach more methods and finish interactions and its off to v1.0.0

I started components this morning

Sharding is done as well, but I have plans for a cluster manager

"True sharding" ig

[valid perch]

Might add it to my list of if I get bored I'll add support for python discord packages 😂

If its at the point where people could make proper bots in

clustering with ipc, shared state or?

*Shared cache

[pliant gulch]

IPC seems more preforment

And it should be ready for regular use, at least the commands extension is basically done

It just needs permissions checking and its ready

I already have Cogs, and the core of it finished

[valid perch]

Soundds good to me then

Do you provide an external api method to build embeds from dict's

[pliant gulch]

But can't really say anything about stability for now, still in alpha and I haven't gotten heavy testing on a production bot running it

Yes theres an embed builder

Oh wait you mean from dictionaries

That could be added pretty easily

[valid perch]

Just because internally I need one, saves me writing one if it already exists

[pliant gulch]

The embed class has a to dict method, but I'll take that suggestion

I can add from_dict right now

[valid perch]

Alright

If it ain't there when I make an impl I'll pr one in

I mean, you likely need one internally anyway..?

To parse discord's api data into your Embed

@pliant gulch

[pliant gulch]

I was not the one who PR'd the embed builder so I don't have it currently

[valid perch]

Ah

[pliant gulch]

Actually, I think I'll revamp the Embed builder

This ones way to class based

Makes it cumbersome to do stuff

[valid perch]

Aight

How stable do you think you general class structure is?

[pliant gulch]

General class structure as in?

The clients?

[valid perch]

Stuff like Message and channels but dw

[pliant gulch]

In a limbo state

They are semi-implemented

We have all HTTP methods done, just haven't attached them to the models

Still looking for someone to do them but seems like me and my collaborator will have to do them

[valid perch]

Aight

[coral marlin]

Okay thanks,

So I have

warns = sorted(warns, key=lambda x: x["number"])
        
        pages = []
        for warn in warns:
            description = f"""
            Warn Number: `{warn['number']}`
            Warn Reason: `{warn['reason']}`
            Warned By: <@{warn['warned_by']}>
            Warn Date: {warn['timestamp'].strftime("%I:%M %p %B %d, %Y")}
            """
            pages.append(description)
        
        await Pag(
            title=f"Warns for `{member.display_name}`",
            colour=0xCE2029,
            entries=pages,
            length=1
        ).start(ctx)

where it says await pag, how could I replace that to make pages with nextcord? (Since nextcord already has pagination built it)

[valid perch]

Using menus?

[valid perch]

Can you link me the built-in things docs

[spring verge]

Is nextcord better or hikari?

[valid perch]

define better

[spring verge]

Easier to implement imo

[coral marlin]

I'd probably say nextcord

[valid perch]

Nextcord is discord.py, so if you currently use dpy it'll be 10x easier since its the same

[coral marlin]

You talking about this? https://github.com/nextcord-ext/menus

[valid perch]

Otherwise your learning something new either way

[spring verge]

Ohh well I never used discord.py and I have been learning hikari/lightbulb for a few weeks so ig I will stick to it?

[valid perch]

Yes, but its not built in so I'm curious if you could link me the docs for what your discussing

[spring verge]

Because there are so many libraries that I get confused lol

[coral marlin]

https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

[valid perch]

Yea probably, although lightbulb is very discord.py esque syntax wise so dpy would feel similar

[spring verge]

Ohh

[valid perch]

Ctrl + f failed to find pagination the given page. Guess I'm finding it myself if I want to help

[spring verge]

Btw I had a doubt.. I am currently using postgres to store data like prefixes etc.. should I also use it to store experience or ranks of people through user IDs?

Or I should migrate to a better rdbms

[valid perch]

Not sure how true this is anymore, but I think the only thing hikari lacks compared to dpy is voice stuff. Although there are no doubt extensions for it like yaru (I think its called that)

[coral marlin]

https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=page#paginator

I believe this is it

[valid perch]

postgres is nice yes, just make a user table for people by id as well

Not sure what would be better then postgres

[spring verge]

Oh well I recently learned sql

So I am not sure which is the best free rdbms

and I started with postgres

[valid perch]

Good choice tbh, I'd stick with it

[spring verge]

Okay 👍

[valid perch]

syntax for it is funky, but looks like you need to create the actual pagintation yourself. That class will give you pages using the methods from the docs but if you want to paginate the output thats up to you

You can look at nextcord.ext.commands.help.py for examples on how to use it since its what the help command uses

[patent lark]

yeah i know what you mean, i still make bots here and there. but it isnt often anymore, ive gained more interest in building games and mobile applications. i plan to eventually come back to coding discord related things.

[spring verge]

Ohh you are learning unity ?

[valid perch]

Fair enough, I wanna make a mobile app over summer actually lol

[spring verge]

Nice

[patent lark]

nothing.

[slate swan]

Unless your not using bot

[vagrant topaz]

full code?

[slate swan]

maybe can raise a error of the bot not being defined or a eol scanning string error but thats just discord i think

[vagrant topaz]

error?

ok then why ask

[slate swan]

he probably wanted to test us or sm

[vagrant topaz]

or waste our time

[slate swan]

kinda useless when people have years of experience

[vagrant topaz]

^^

[slate swan]

here

not me cuz ive only been coding for 5months but im not a beginner either

[vagrant topaz]

ive been coding w/ discord for almost 2 yrs now ||flexing 😏||

[slate swan]

congrats

thats pog

how is dat a flex

[vagrant topaz]

idk

feels like i know more than ppl (not true)

[slate swan]

just a cool fact about him you know

is it possible to make tests for a discord bot? since it uses the discord api, not the code to create responses

[slate swan]

well ofcourse since you are helping people here , you know some things better than them

[vagrant topaz]

wtf do u mean

[slate swan]

can you elaborate what you mean by 'tests for a discord bot'

[slate swan]

not really everybody learns differently

[slate swan]

mhm

[vagrant topaz]

i fucking hate when ppl say "HELLLO @near ospreyNNNN SOLVE MY PROBLEMS::: await fuckyou()"

[slate swan]

different paste and other things

[vagrant topaz]

w h o o p s

please dont name yourself that or any other common word

[slate swan]

chill

[slate swan]

stackoverflow :p

[vagrant topaz]

^^^^

[slate swan]

not the best way to learn

but if it helps you out go for it

[slate swan]

there are really many such names here lol
if i'd do @client or @bot its sure some person gets pinged

[slate swan]

yea most of the code on stack and yt tutorials are outdated

[vagrant topaz]

@quaint axle

[slate swan]

they dont even check what versions the code is for

[vagrant topaz]

@bot

[vagrant topaz]

no ofc not but just solving quick small scale problems

[slate swan]

for better experience state any error and what you want and pls give a good explanation of it

[slate swan]

yes ik

[slate swan]

yeah

[slate swan]

i mean, can you make unit tests for commands, since it uses the discord api

[slate swan]

thats why im here lmfao

ok i gtg, sorry

im in class now

alr

[slate swan]

you mean test out a command?cuz if thats so idk just test it out by yourself lmao

[slate swan]

i chat in many yt tutorial servers , specifically lucas'
people bring 4 years oldcode to fix

[slate swan]

yeah, good idea

i go now

[slate swan]

lmaooo

[slate swan]

if you want to test something without really adding it to your bot , use jishaku

@vagrant topaz they probably dont state their errors right for the fear of getting humiliated here but i dont blame them theres lots of people here who know their stuff

[pliant gulch]

finished

[valid perch]

https://github.com/CraftSpider/dpytest ?

[pliant gulch]

Skelmis mind taking a look at my revamp of embeds?

Not sure if it looks alright

[valid perch]

link?

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/an-dyy/Lefi/blob/master/lefi/objects/embed.py

[valid perch]

interesting

Have you thought about slotting it

also maybe hiding the data variable

[pliant gulch]

Hmm having slotted any of my models yet

Does slotting really matter here

And yea Ill make data a "private" variable

[valid perch]

What do you stand to lose by slotting?

[pliant gulch]

Nothing just wonder about it

I know theres a performance boost

[valid perch]

Given its not a dynamic class end users need to modify theres not a point to not doing it imo. Besides, they can just add to your data if they really want

[pliant gulch]

Wait but if I use slots wont I be unable to use @property

[valid perch]

Should be fine
