[rugged delta]

you defined client two times with two different methodes
chose one of them
i would go with

client =  commands.bot(command_prefix= '!', intents = intents)

[slate swan]

don’t tell me ur using replit 😔

[rugged delta]

keep_alive maaahn

[slate swan]

is that a replit thing lmao

whats the keep alive?

[rugged delta]

i would say it's an online vscode

[slate swan]

why not remove it

[rugged delta]

just a bad way to keep your bot hosted lol

[slate swan]

useless code should be removed, like defining something more than once when its not needed

[rugged delta]

not very eligible

sometimes it breaks , and slows down

[slate swan]

You should not use Repl.it to host your bot.

While this may seem like a nice and free service, it has a lot more caveats than you might think, such as:

• The machines are super underpowered.

• • This means your bot will lag a lot as it gets bigger.

• You need to run a webserver alongside your bot to prevent it from being shut off.

• • This isn't a trivial task, and eats more of the machines power.

• Repl.it uses an ephemeral file system.

• • This means any file you saved via your bot will be overwritten when you next launch.

• They use a shared IP for everything running on the service.
  This one is important - if someone is running a user bot on their service and gets banned, everyone on that IP will be banned. Including you.

Please avoid using repl.it to host your bot. It's not worth the trouble.
See ?tag vps in #381963689470984203 if you want a list of decent hosts (there are no free hosts).

[slate swan]

oh

so what should i use then

not heroku

[reef shell]

vps

[slate swan]

aws

[rugged delta]

or you could pay for hacker mode and your repl will stay online 24/7

[slate swan]

money money money

[rugged delta]

didn't try it btw ,

[slate swan]

AWS , if your planning to buy, still would say AWS

[slate swan]

my friend had it , still sucks

[reef shell]

If you really pay money, why repl, ew

[rugged delta]

i used GCP

[slate swan]

somethin thats free?

[slate swan]

AWS dude

[slate swan]

alr thanks

[reef shell]

Needs credit card

[rugged delta]

yeah that's one issue

[slate swan]

sure but it doesn’t cost anything

[reef shell]

And only 1st year is free

[slate swan]

only

[slate swan]

only?

thats enough

[rugged delta]

after that year you have to pay 10+ $ to host

[slate swan]

yeah , then u can switch to a vps

or buy a RPi

[kindred epoch]

if they are going to switch to a vps then why not rn?

[reef shell]

??

[slate swan]

your getting a year free in a good service, why pay for more?

so vps is the best choice

a raspberry pi

[rugged delta]

vps is digital ocean right ?

[slate swan]

but for now use AWS or whatever u wish

[slate swan]

alr arl, ty

[reef shell]

digital ocean have vps plans

vps = virtual private server

[kindred epoch]

vps is a virtual private server, which can be anything, digital ocean is one option

[slate swan]

not really, its a site that provides the server

[steady flume]

what i need put instead of this yellow frames ?

[rugged delta]

oh ok

[slate swan]

3rd party libs ?

[steady flume]

[steady flume]

lol

@sick birch do u remember me ?

[reef shell]

[sick birch]

i do

[steady flume]

can u help with photo on the top?

[reef shell]

what do you want to do tho

[steady flume]

pagination

[waxen granite]

anyone

[kindred epoch]

show the full dict

[reef shell]

I mean disabled attribute is used for disabling a button, what else are you looking for instead of that

[kindred epoch]

uh

that dict doesn't look right

@waxen granite try printing this:

[waxen granite]

    async def unmutetime(self):

            print(check)```
prints returned still

[kindred epoch]

ight, remove the try\except

[waxen granite]

    check = self.blackList[str(guild.id)][key]["331829647568535563"]
KeyError: '824359600584523876'```

[kindred epoch]

yea theres something wrong in that dict

[waxen granite]

wdym wrong?

[kindred epoch]

you need to give it an index to get that

those numbers are itself the index

[waxen granite]

can i give it as member name?

[kindred epoch]

what are those ids?

[warm bane]

@sick birch following up on our convo yesterday .... when you get a minute, I'd be interested in picking your brain on extensions. I did some light reading on cogs vs extensions and it said that extensions are used in cogs, but i didn't find anything useful on how extensions would be set up that is different than cogs. I did find that extensions are useful because you can load and unload them (maybe the terms were pack and unpack, i'll have to look again). Anyways, it was cool because it allows you to keep your bot up while changing a few commands/cogs at a time.

I'd like to ask you some more questions to make sure I'm on the right track, to learn about better bot designs (I really don't like one linear file when coding larger projects - clutter annoys me), and what other resources you would recommend looking into. (I skim read the pinned messages already and know what is there in case if I need it).

If others have thoughts, then just tag me so I can find your comments easier. Thanks.

[kindred epoch]

what questions do you have

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/d78c061a4798ae81be9825468fe146be this is a pretty good example of how to use cogs

looking at the docs of it is also good to get more info about them

[sick birch]

using extensions, you can hot-reload

[warm bane]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53528168/how-do-i-use-cogs-with-discord-py was a helpful resource on converting things to cogs

[waxen granite]

1st id is guild.id , 2nd is user.id

[warm bane]

thank you, ill look into it

[kindred epoch]

yea then store it as userid or anything you like

[warm bane]

is cogs the best way to structure a bot?

[sick birch]

sure

[waxen granite]

i did no?

[warm bane]

how do cogs and extensions differ?

[kindred epoch]

index it as userid

!e
test = {"userid": 675414248620294154}
print(test['userid'])

[unkempt canyon]

@kindred epoch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

675414248620294154

[kindred epoch]

do you see what i mean

[waxen granite]

ye but@kindred epoch

i am saving them as userid because there will be multiple users

[warm bane]

@kindred epoch i skimmed over your link.... thanks, im definitely going to be digging into this in a little. it looks really useful

[kindred epoch]

multiple users in the same dict?

[waxen granite]

ye

under the same guild id

[kindred epoch]

then make a new dict under the same guild id

and that is exactly why you use a database

[waxen granite]

well it is under the same guild id

824359600584523876 is a guild id

[kindred epoch]

ye then whats the problem

[waxen granite]

331829647568535563 and 282859044593598464 are userids

i want to fetch them

from dict

[kindred epoch]

at this point, im just gonna say use a database, databases are made for this

[warm bane]

@sick birch you prefer DM or want to keep talking in discord-bots channel? or start a help channel?

[waxen granite]

well i have to learn it from scrap, can u think of something from this only? pls

[sick birch]

i would prefer a help channel for that

[warm bane]

ok 1 sec

[sick birch]

i'm playing something rn, keep it open, i'll join in later

[kindred epoch]

then you'll need to index them as something to get them

[waxen granite]

cant i get them as key ?

like i got the guild

[kindred epoch]

yea

why didnt you just do that

if you could get the guild id then why didnt you do the same thing with user id

[waxen granite]

for key in self.blackList[guild].keys(): userid = key i did

but it didnt work

[kindred epoch]

what does it print

[waxen granite]

i have t even in my code already...

[waxen granite]

it prints returned

its not able to do the try part

[kindred epoch]

remove the try and except and try again

also print self.blackList[guild].keys()

[waxen granite]

for key in self.blackList[guild].keys(): KeyError: <Guild id=824359600584523876 name='MecHaNiC Bot Support' shard_id=None chunked=True member_count=23>

[kindred epoch]

send whole error

what does this print? ```py
for key in self.blackList.keys():

[waxen granite]

guild id

824359600584523876

[kindred epoch]

wait why are you indexing it by guild obj

[waxen granite]

what

self.blackList[guild].keys() should fetch the user id no?

[kindred epoch]

no

[velvet crest]

How can i access the bot object inside a custom function ?

[waxen granite]

then how?

[kindred epoch]

no idea honestly

[slate swan]

How do I make embed fields? Whenever I use them, I receive this:

-'Embed' object has no attribute 'set_field'

What happened to them? Did they get removed?

[kindred epoch]

its add_field

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_prefix

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

Retrieves the prefix the bot is listening to with the message as a context.

[magic ore]

Ah the full thing is needed

[slate swan]

Ohhh

[dapper cobalt]

Well, the docs command isn't for just discord.py, but for other libraries too.

!d pymongo.MongoClient

[unkempt canyon]

pymongo.MongoClient

pymongo.MongoClient```
Alias for [`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`](https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/pymongo/mongo_client.html#pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient "pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient").

[magic ore]

Yeah, I'm used to rdanny's rtfm command

Bot.get_prefix is a coroutine function that takes a message

That was an example for me

[slate swan]

Now it says

-add_field() got an unexpected keyword argument 'title'

Is it title or something else

[magic ore]

It takes two required kwargs, name and value

[dapper cobalt]

It's name.

[magic ore]

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

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

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[slate swan]

ah ok

When a user sends an inexistant command, how do I catch the error without it popping up in terminal?

Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "tax" is not found```

[dapper cobalt]

I'm slow. Damnit.

[slate swan]

thanks

[magic ore]

The on_command_error event

[slate swan]

ah alright thank you

[dapper cobalt]

Make an error handler and return when the error is CommandNotFound.

[magic ore]

Shouldn't consume all errors though

This should help:
Not getting an error, but definitely should be?
Do you also have an on_command_error set up?
Please make sure to look at, and implement,** the 3 or so lines starting with 'else'** in the example below. Without this code or similar, your error handler is eating all unhandled errors. As you can imagine, this is bad when you get an unexpected error.

You're trying to change the presence before the bot has connected to the gateway

Still spits out the same error? AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'id' @slate swan

[slate swan]

but i'm getting it from a db can u explain more

nvm i got it thx u

[patent lark]

in this function, you try to call the .send() method on suchannel, but suchannel isnt a thing, it does not exist in this code?

[magic ore]

wait_for checks can't be async

[slate swan]

Where exactly

[slate swan]

Really?

[magic ore]

yes

[slate swan]

I thought they were

[slate swan]

Makes more sense now

[pliant gulch]

Wonder why async checks aren't allowed

[slate swan]

Like your pfp

[slate swan]

Idek why

can someone help me with a check for my wait_for("message")

[pliant gulch]

I do know that wait_for creates a future and then the dispatch system will handle it but since its inside of a regular method you cannot await the check

Although I think you can use create_task

Might cause some problems though

[magic ore]

they can't work with the current system

[pliant gulch]

Is there a specific reason for that

[slate swan]

def check(ctx):
   return ctx.message.author == ctx.author
``` and then put that as my check=?

[magic ore]

seems like it's because they aren't necessary

[slate swan]

not ctx

hold on

[magic ore]

(ie you can call the async functions to get whatever information before you call wait_for or after, outside of the check)

[slate swan]

 interaction = await client.wait_for("button_click", check = lambda i: i.component.id in ["text", "save"])
         if interaction.component.id == "text":
          await interaction.send("Please insert a message")
          m = await client.wait_for("message", check)

thats my thingy rn

i need help with the check at the bottom

everyone this is gonna be stupid but can anyone tell me a raid command?

No

#rules

[slate swan]

Against tos sorry

oh srry ddint read it

!rule 8 i think

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

8. Do not help with ongoing exams. When helping with homework, help people learn how to do the assignment without doing it for them.

[slate swan]

nope

k

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[pliant gulch]

Yea that makes sense

[magic ore]

and also https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/client.py#L372-L390 (dispatch is sync and everything that calls it is in a sync method)

[slate swan]

?

[pliant gulch]

I did mention that and I feel like maybe you can check if the check is a coroutinemethod via inspect then self.loop.create_task and check if task.result() is truthy

Although just a thought Idk if it will work

[magic ore]

i dont think that works

[pliant gulch]

I cba to try ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[magic ore]

https://mystb.in/SpotsLindsaySullivan.ruby

[pliant gulch]

You would need to create an event loop or set one then do it

Or you can just use asyncio.run don't think you can use asyncio.run here

[slate swan]

lol

[thick rampart]

am I using this wrong?

   @client.command()
   async def warning(ctx):
      await ctx.send(f'Hey {ctx.author.display_name}How should I dispose of the evidence?!')

before you ask any weird questions it's for a security bot part of the function of removing content that infringes rules

[supple thorn]

Well its indented

[thick rampart]

wait....I have a few others that are indented it didn't affect it. hmmm or maybe it did and it picked this one up first lol

I got this after un indenting

[supple thorn]

What did you unindent

[thick rampart]

I am not use to writing discords bots so I apologize if I am making a ton of newb mistakes here lol

I undented the await line

[supple thorn]

Is your client.command indented

[thick rampart]

The original bot maker is out of town this week and I am trying to go by his instructions but....lmao

[supple thorn]

Thats why i told you its indented

[thick rampart]

lemme check

no it's not indented

[shy schooner]

can someone explain to me what intents are, why are they involved in user's privacy, health

[boreal ravine]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[sick birch]

it's more about computational strain rather than user privacy, though i guess it could be used for malicious purposes

[slate swan]

can someone help me pkease

[thick rampart]

thank you lol sorry wasn't ignoring was talking to another user as well.

[boreal ravine]

sure

[boreal ravine]

isn't that how ctx works

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I can tell from your code

what

[boreal ravine]

well yes

since User is a discord user and Member is a guild member

[jade tartan]

What’s the wait_for method?

[pale zenith]

it waits for an event to be dispatched

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

Everything's explained pretty well

[pale zenith]

yep, and it has examples too, if you open the page

[boreal ravine]

is there an attr to display a guilds icon if the guild doesnt have an icon

[slate swan]

[pale zenith]

no there is not

[maiden fable]

Try seeing if guild.icon is None?

Idk that just sees if there is no icon, nothing else

[boreal ravine]

ok

[slate swan]

Guilds without icons have nothing in the response JSON, so nope

[maiden fable]

[jade tartan]

Yeah but those examples dont really explain what i want my bot do to

[pale zenith]

what do you want to do?

[jade tartan]

^

^

[boreal ravine]

yes

[jade tartan]

Ik it can

[boreal ravine]

yeah

[pale zenith]

The first example does apply for you, maybe modify the check to check for author too.
await bot.wait_for('message', check=some_check)

just wait_for a bunch of messages lol

[jade tartan]

First let me make the command and see how it works

[pale zenith]

alright

[jade tartan]

Dm if i have a question?

[pale zenith]

My DMs are not open, no. Ask here or in .gg/dpy

even my about-me says so bc i get so many DMs from randos from the dpy server 🥴

            await session.close()

when entering the server, the bot does not send anything

@boreal ravine

Do you have the members intents enabled?

yes

And why do you check if the status code is smaller than 300 but bigger or equals than 200

Makes no sense at all

Just check if the status is 200

And just to make sure, you've enabled the intents in the developer portal and in your code right?

it compiles fine, but doesn't execute the drop downs

[slate swan]

You have not installed discord.py 2.0

$ git clone https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
$ cd discord.py
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]

[warm bane]

ok, ill check on my version

[waxen granite]

how cna i get member using its id?

[halcyon folio]

looks like a third party library to me

[halcyon folio]

bot.get_user(id)

[waxen granite]

user doesnt have att remove_roles, how can i fixthis? i am trying to remove a role from the user

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.Guild.get_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_member

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

[slate swan]

Don't need to ask here and in a help channel, just ask in one place..

[halcyon folio]

did you install it

[slate swan]

Already being helped, you can ignore

See #help-grapes

[halcyon folio]

o

[slate swan]

Yeah, people do be impatient

[waxen granite]

prints userid

prints user - None

[slate swan]

Use guild.get_member() or await guild.fetch_member()

[waxen granite]

user = guild.get_member(userid) am i not doing it already

?

[slate swan]

As I said, exactly what I wrote

The member is not in the bot's cache so get_member returns None. If you use

guild.get_member() or await guild.fetch_member()

It will first try to use get_member and if it returned None then it will try fetch_member which will work fine

[waxen granite]

oh u mean both ok

the await alone worked

[boreal ravine]

ofc it worked

it fetched the member from the api

[slate swan]

It should not always be used though, therefore my solution

You should always try to get from cache first, and only then use the API call

[waxen granite]

ye

[ornate lichen]

from googletrans==4.0.0-rc1 import Translator

i only want to import a certain version

how do i do that

[ornate lichen]

this code is wrong

??

how do i correct it

[boreal ravine]

do pip install module==version

module is the module name and version is the version you want it to be

[ornate lichen]

no put it auto installs the old version

but

[boreal ravine]

what

[ornate lichen]

when ever i re run the code

or just randomly

[boreal ravine]

what IDE are you using

[ornate lichen]

ya replit

[boreal ravine]

then thats the problem

[ornate lichen]

then is there anything better i can use

[boreal ravine]

a proper IDE

[waxen granite]

that return should have worked no?

[ornate lichen]

to host a 24/7 discord bot

[boreal ravine]

a VPS

this

[ornate lichen]

ya i alr am

uptime bot

[boreal ravine]

this

[ornate lichen]

so what ide whould i use

[boreal ravine]

a proper IDE

[ornate lichen]

ok

[boreal ravine]

that isnt a VPS?

[ornate lichen]

is heroku

[ornate lichen]

wdym

[boreal ravine]

uptime robot isnt a vps

[ornate lichen]

then

[boreal ravine]

a VPS

[ornate lichen]

its a website pinging service

[boreal ravine]

Heroku

- Bots are not what the platform is designed for. Heroku is designed to provide web servers (like Django, Flask, etc). This is why they give you a domain name and open a port on their local emulator.

- Heroku's environment is heavily containerized, making it significantly underpowered for a standard use case.

- Heroku's environment is volatile. In order to handle the insane amount of users trying to use it for their own applications, Heroku will dispose your environment every time your application dies unless you pay.

- Heroku has minimal system dependency control. If any of your Python requirements need C bindings (such as PyNaCl binding to libsodium, or lxml binding to libxml), they are unlikely to function properly, if at all, in a native environment. As such, you often need to resort to adding third-party buildpacks to facilitate otherwise normal CPython extension functionality. (This is the reason why voice doesn't work natively on heroku.)

- Heroku only offers a limited amount of time on their free programme for your applications. If you exceed this limit, which you probably will, they'll shut down your application until your free credit resets.

[boreal ravine]

yes a "website"

[ornate lichen]

ok

[waxen granite]

help

[ornate lichen]

but theres that disavantage

thats a big one

the limited amount of time

[slate swan]

Every free hosting has disadvantages. If you want quality you need to pay, as simple as that.

[ornate lichen]

is vs code codd for it?

microsoft vs code

[maiden fable]

Welp, please don't ask for Free Hosting Services here again haha

[waxen granite]

can we use an emoji in thumbnail in an embed?

[maiden fable]

Last night there was literally a civil war debate on Raspberry Pi vs VPS

I don't think so. U need to give the URL

U can't directly do :happy: or something

how do I make it so that if I say the command word

a message gets sent in every channel

[tawdry perch]

That's spamming?

[cosmic frost]

no

[waxen granite]

any help with this?

[cosmic frost]

if you say goodmorning

[tawdry perch]

It kind of looks like one

[cosmic frost]

irl say goodmorning back in all channels

how i do that

[tawdry perch]

Loop the channels

[cosmic frost]

i know how to spam🙄

[maiden fable]

I guess, we should just help him Nipa. Won't be surprised when he is rate limited 😐

[tawdry perch]

Aight

So, use for loop to loop all the guild channels

[maiden fable]

But yea, he's right. U gotta loop

!d discord.Guild.text_channels

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.text\_channels

property text_channels: List[discord.channel.TextChannel]```
A list of text channels that belongs to this guild.

This is sorted by the position and are in UI order from top to bottom.

[cosmic frost]

dont know what that means

example please

[tawdry perch]

for channel in ctx.guild.TextChannel:
``` not 100% sure if it's correct but you get the point

[slate swan]

ctx.guild.channels

[waxen granite]

anyone?

[cosmic frost]

oh

[tawdry perch]

Will it give voice channels as well?

[jade tartan]

Why are ppl asking many questions u guys should go learn some python first

[maiden fable]

Yes

[slate swan]

Yes, just check it's type with isinstance

[tawdry perch]

I think I should be only text channel

[maiden fable]

ctx.guild.text_channels*

[maiden fable]

Why not just use ctx.guild.text_channels? Lol

[tawdry perch]

What?

[tawdry perch]

@cosmic frost use this

[cosmic frost]

kk

[maiden fable]

Uhhhh?

[cosmic frost]

async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('start spam'):
     while True:
        await message.guild.create_text_channel("spam channel")

    async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
     while True:
        await channel.send(random.choice("bum do"))``` this is spamming

wouldnt have asked if i already knew

not tryna spam

[maiden fable]

Won't work lol

[cosmic frost]

how

[maiden fable]

Numerous mistakes

Won't help since u tryna spam 😐

[cosmic frost]

i did make one

look

havin fn with friends

[maiden fable]

😐

[cosmic frost]

but again not tryna spam

if i was i wouldnt have asked

[tawdry perch]

the problem is that we can't verify that

[cosmic frost]

its RIGHT THERE bruh

[maiden fable]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('start spam'):
     while True:
        await message.guild.create_text_channel("spam channel")

    async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
     while True:
        await channel.send(random.choice("bum do")) this is spamming

Thus certainly won't work lmao

Only on_message will work

[cosmic frost]

oops theres some accidents there

[maiden fable]

Nothing else

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[cosmic frost]

didnt add @quaint axle.event

[maiden fable]

😐

Imagine ping

[cosmic frost]

oops

[maiden fable]

Lmao read his about me

[cosmic frost]

LOL

ok but can yall trust me now

sheesh

[maiden fable]

I mean, helping with spam bots is against ToS and server rules

[cosmic frost]

THIS ISNT FOR A SPAM BOT

[maiden fable]

Ok ok calm down my bad

[cosmic frost]

its just general knowledge i wamnted to know

lol

[maiden fable]

So what u need help with?

[cosmic frost]

already got explained I think

oops wrong one

nvm

yeah

just realized why yall thought it was spamming now loll😅 i put while true:

[maiden fable]

[cosmic frost]

im dumb

[tawdry perch]

so did you need help with anything?

[cosmic frost]

well yall said i should use ctx.guild.text_channels right?

[maiden fable]

Ya

[cosmic frost]

im still confused on how exactly id implement that in(im new to this)

[maiden fable]

Well do u know how to use a for loop?

[cosmic frost]

tried earlier today but got confused

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel is what ctx.guild.text_channels returns (a list of those)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel

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

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the channel’s hash.

str(x) Returns the channel’s name.

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.send is what u can use

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[slate swan]

You realize your bot will probably get banned by Discord for spamming and abusing their API

[maiden fable]

You should leave aside your project and first learn basic Python

[maiden fable]

Yups, I have told this before haha

[cosmic frost]

lol, thought they only do that if you spam a public server

[slate swan]

Yeah okay, just wanted to make sure so that they're not surprised the day it happens

[cosmic frost]

not one with a few friends watching

[slate swan]

Nope

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[slate swan]

Overall API spamming or abusing

Private or not doesn't matter

[cosmic frost]

good to know

[waxen granite]

will anyone help me :3

[heavy folio]

to get a command's retry after is it just py @command.error async def command_error(self, ctx, error): if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown): await ctx.reply(f"please try again in {commands.CommandOnCooldown.retry_after} seconds")?

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown.retry_after according to this - im not sure how tho

[slate swan]

error.retry_after

[cosmic frost]

async def on_message(message, channel, ctx):
    for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels:
     if message.content.startswith('hello'):
      await channel.send("hello")``` like this?

[heavy folio]

oh

[maiden fable]

Nope

[maiden fable]

Bring the if statement out of that loop

[boreal ravine]

on_message only takes one parameter

[slate swan]

on_message takes only a message parameter

[cosmic frost]

ok lol

[slate swan]

So you can remove the other two

And use message.guild to get the guild object

[cosmic frost]

python is easier than c# they said

[boreal ravine]

it is

[inner pumice]

when i make my bot wait for a message like this: py msg = await client.wait_for("message")

how do i make it wait for one from the specific user

[boreal ravine]

add a check

[slate swan]

Make a check

[boreal ravine]

wait_for can take 3 args iirc

[inner pumice]

like ```py
if msg.author == ctx.author:
#carry on
else:
return

or within the parenthesis?

[boreal ravine]

no

yes but you gotta make the check first before assigning it the the function

[inner pumice]

mk

[cosmic frost]

alright I give up 😭 im still stumped on this,can you set it up for me ples

[manic wing]

oh my

[cosmic frost]

-_-

[boreal ravine]

set up?

well he isn't trolling and he did what he told you to do

[valid galleon]

is it possible to write some cogs in JS and some in py? im trying to use a d.py fork to make a dropdown help command and just cant seem to figure it out, and theres a lot of JS tuts for dropdowns so i cold use those

without multiple instances, that is

[cosmic frost]

yeah ik lol

[boreal ravine]

i don't think you can just write it in python

[valid galleon]

i believe dyno bot does something like that so i thought i could do it nvm then

[boreal ravine]

where'd you hear that

[valid galleon]

i cans end you the repo if you want

[lament mesa]

It uses python probably for the backend

[valid galleon]

havent checked out its code tough

though*

[boreal ravine]

dyno isnt even open source

how would you check its code

[slate swan]

It was once leaked

200 == 200?

no...

Just check if the status is 200

[slate swan]

And in your code? Also enabled?

[dense swallow]

Just discord.Intents.all()

No need for the extra ()

you dont need the else block , matter of fact you can just do

if msg.author != ctx.author:
 return```

!=*

[slate swan]

<@&831776746206265384> , you dont need to ask anyone for permission , its against discord rules wither you asked or not

[slate swan]

thanks !

[cosmic frost]

whaa

what are you talking about

[cosmic frost]

that was me spamming my own sever with 2 friends in it

[slate swan]

please read our #code-of-conduct and #rules , also its not allowed in discord rules of using there api

[arctic python]

@cosmic frost As per rule 5, we cannot help you with a project that may be used for malicious purposes. That includes a spambot. It doesn't matter what your intentions for the project are.

[cosmic frost]

wha, nooo no malicious purposes, i was being accused of them so I told them I already knew how to spma

[arctic python]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[cosmic frost]

spam

yeah yeah

i was just showing them that if it was malicious I would already know

[arctic python]

You are asking for help with making a spambot here.

[cosmic frost]

no I wasntt

bruhh

[fading harness]

hi how can i get the discord tag of the author of message? (example MaskDuck#9693)

[slate swan]

str(message.author)

[slate swan]

ctx.author```
author + number discriminator

[slate swan]

why would you want to convert it into a string ?

Because author returns the object

[arctic python]

@cosmic frost Refrain from inquiring further about this project here or discussing mass message delivery in general.

If you persist, there will be escalating consequences.

[cosmic frost]

yeah I already figured out my issue sorry

[slate swan]

you dont need to convert it into a string , since you can just use it whenever you want , and ctx is the object , not author , its a attribute afaik

like

await X.send(f'hey you are {ctx.author}')

[fading harness]

so if i need the author's discrimator

what do i need

[slate swan]

ctx.author.discriminator

[slate swan]

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

[cloud dawn]

Doesn't ctx.author inside a string format like this return name + discrimator?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

This basically converts to a string, same as using str() on it if not using f-strings so yeah

[slate swan]

It returns an attribue that us an discord.abc.User object... Click on it

[cloud dawn]

ctx.author returns a user object? That is pretty weird since ctx.author includes guild.

Member object most likely.

[slate swan]

No, abc.User

A message doesn't always come from a guild

Private messages users are not considered as discord.Member

[cloud dawn]

Hmm true.

[slate swan]

Since it returns a abc.User object it can be Member, User or ClientUser

[cloud dawn]

Yeah i thought it was a union.

[bleak sigil]

any discord bot hosting platform recommendations?

my budget is like 10 usd a month

[slate swan]

[final shard]

How to add comment to a attachment

The Text on top of attachment

This is how my code looks

await ctx.send(file = discord.File("video.avi"))

[slate swan]

If you mean some text above the video, then content="blah"

[final shard]

okie

Nice job paying for WinRar

[fossil goblet]

Hello,

How do I check users state message?

[boreal ravine]

state?

[fossil goblet]

yep

[boreal ravine]

wdym by that

[fossil goblet]

The custom state

I mean that

[boreal ravine]

state?

u mean status?

[fossil goblet]

yes

[boreal ravine]

ah

[fossil goblet]

wrong typings sry

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.activity then

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity: Optional[Union[discord.activity.Activity, discord.activity.Game, discord.activity.CustomActivity, discord.activity.Streaming, discord.activity.Spotify]]```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information.

Note

A user may have multiple activities, these can be accessed under [`activities`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.activities "discord.Member.activities").

[fossil goblet]

hhhmmmmmmmm

[boreal ravine]

I think that returns the custom "status" too

[fossil goblet]

Thank youuuu

||Neeed to learn SQL||

I wrote a code :

@eternal girder
async def state(ctx):
await ctx.send(ctx.author.activity)
await ctx.send(f"<@ctx.author.id>")

Is my code right???

I don't know how but @eternal girder is highlighted.

It's pretty

[tawdry perch]

Why you keep pinging them

[tawdry perch]

Also try it and see

[slate swan]

Not their fault because there name is a decorator but you can avoid it by just typing @bot.command()

[tawdry perch]

I know

[slate swan]

Yeah

!d intents @normal cipher

[unkempt canyon]

intents

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

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

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

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

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

New in version 1.5...

[maiden fable]

Oh nvm

Never knew that also existed

[slate swan]

Yeah

[sturdy tapir]

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def clean(ctx):
    llimit = ctx.message.content[10:].strip()
    await ctx.DMChannel.purge(limit = 500)
    await ctx.message.delete()

it works on channels how do I make it work in dms

[slate swan]

You cant purge in dms

[sturdy tapir]

Can't I make it delete all the messages in dms

I'm sure I can

[slate swan]

No only bots msgs

[sturdy tapir]

no It can

[slate swan]

Its a dm discord doesnt work like that

[sturdy tapir]

it's a selfbot

lmao

idk if it's allowed or not

[slate swan]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[sturdy tapir]

are selfbots bad?

[slate swan]

Yes their agaisnt discord tos and if you use one you will get insta ban

[sturdy tapir]

even if they aren't used for bad stuff

[slate swan]

Yep

[sturdy tapir]

do you know why?

[slate swan]

Read the discord tos

[sturdy tapir]

you don't?

[slate swan]

I do know

Not good at explaining so just read the disc tos

[fossil goblet]

https://discordapp.com/terms
https://discordapp.com/guidelines
ToS

[slate swan]

[fossil goblet]

Selfbot is agaisnt the tos. So whatever you do, It's bad

[slate swan]

Yep

[kindred viper]

Hi there, I'm trying to add a command to my bot which will give me a list of all members in the server. (Don't ask, I'm trying to learn how bot making works 😃) This is the code I tried:

@bot.command()
async def member_list(ctx):
    members = ctx.guild.members
    for member in members:
        try:
            await ctx.channel.send(str(member.name))
                
        except:
            return

The bot does manage to send a message, but it sends one, which is itself...

[slate swan]

oh no, that would get you rate limited

[fossil goblet]

I think that will make you rate limited.
Oh there was another awnser!

[kindred viper]

Uh, what do you mean?

[slate swan]

just send the list in one message

How can he for sending to much messages?

[waxen granite]

That is a long msg and you should try some easy commands at the beginning

[fossil goblet]

Your bot will not work because rate limite

[waxen granite]

You could split the msg but thats advanced

[kindred viper]

ok

[fossil goblet]

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

[slate swan]

not insta

and you won't get banned unless they find you

[boreal ravine]

He didn't mean insta as in instantly

[fossil goblet]

But agaisnt ToS is bad. The rule 5 too

[boreal ravine]

You need member intents to access member attr's

[slate swan]

But if they find out i ment

[fossil goblet]

right

[boreal ravine]

!intents @kindred viper

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[fossil goblet]

Or we can just DM @novel apex for report

[slate swan]

I was talking about discord if they find out your using a selfbot thats insta ban if they find out lmfao

[fossil goblet]

Yea right too

[slate swan]

@kindred viper and turn on members intents in dev portal

[boreal ravine]

I already said that

why ping him again

[slate swan]

My bad ig

[unborn dagger]

Hi everyone i am making a public discord bot, do i need to copyright or trademark it?

[slate swan]

I think you do since its your property but idk

[kindred viper]

Ok, so I kinda get the rate limit thing, in a way. So I'm also curious, if it's possible to dm all users in the server? I do have code that I got from a tutorial video, but it gives an error, when It messages "all users". But it tries to send a message to the bot itself first, causing it to stop immediately, as it can't send a message to itself.

[slate swan]

against the rules of discord and the server

[slate swan]

Is it considered as spam?

sort of , but thats not the main reason

[slate swan]

What the main reason then

[slate swan]

I think you will still get rate limited and just put if bot pass

Pretty basic problem

[lusty tide]

hey can anyone help me? I was wondering if there is a way to detect if user is using a phone?

or what device is he using

[sage otter]

There is.
Member.mobile_status and Member.web_status and Member.desktop_status

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.mobile_status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mobile\_status

property mobile_status: discord.enums.Status```
The member’s status on a mobile device, if applicable.

[white trail]

[white trail]

i dont even have the bot

[lusty tide]

ohok

I'll teach u

[white trail]

idk

[slate swan]

Dont

[lusty tide]

why

[slate swan]

Starting discord.py with no python experience isnt a good idea

[lusty tide]

wait

u dunno python?

[slate swan]

What does that have to do with my statement

[slate swan]

but making a bot is cool

even if you dont know what u r doin

[slate swan]

Yes ofc

[slate swan]

But without the knowledge of basic python you basically will know how to do it but not really know what you really are doing and you basically cant do basic things like loops and other stuff

[lusty tide]

I tought he knows python

[slate swan]

I assumed he doesnt but idk

[lusty tide]

yea he doesn't

I'll teach him python first

[slate swan]

Goodluck with that ig

[lusty tide]

thx

[slate swan]

yeah :p

[slate swan]

Way easier when you know python

[devout iris]

How can bot join the music channel also mute and deafen?

[lusty tide]

Btw, Sorry for english

[slate swan]

its possible only if one knows python

VoiceChannel.connect

[lusty tide]

idk much about that sry maybe somebody else

[lusty tide]

ok

[devout iris]

[slate swan]

Just say command for it

[eternal bone]

i want to fix my code

[sage otter]

Literally just gave you the method for it

[eternal bone]

can anyone help me??

[devout iris]

Ah alr i'm new in dpy

[sage otter]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.connect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.connect

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

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

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

[slate swan]

I thought you ment code for the whole thing which we dont do here

[devout iris]

Yea i wanna it

And I just gave it

#python-discussion

[sage otter]

Huh ???

I wouldn’t advise helping out with syntax errors. It’s off topic from this channel and just shows the user doesn’t know python.

[slate swan]

youtube policies exist

!ytdl

[unkempt canyon]

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

Idk sometimes the import order gives orders

[sage otter]

Import order has no significance to syntax errors

[slate swan]

Alr thx

[slate swan]

You have a point ngl

[sage otter]

So going through the docs I found a help func that can determine if they’re on mobile

[lusty tide]

oh thanks

[sage otter]

!d discord.Member.is_on_mobile

discord.Member.is\_on\_mobile

is_on_mobile()```

yea

thank u

👀 you would need to call it tho

[dusk pumice]

How to get users status like online or offline????

[tough wagon]

!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.

[dusk pumice]

or members custom activity

[tough wagon]

!d discord.Member.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity: Optional[Union[discord.activity.Activity, discord.activity.Game, discord.activity.CustomActivity, discord.activity.Streaming, discord.activity.Spotify]]```

[slate swan]

that's status

[tough wagon]

[dusk pumice]

Umm. I fixed it but still...

[tough wagon]

are you sure? on developer portal and in code?

[dusk pumice]

There is way.

[slate swan]

Did u call the intents in the code

Go to bot i think it is where its at

In scopes

[dusk pumice]

Click bot on scopes

[slate swan]

You add the bot perms and copy link to a new tab and add it

[dusk pumice]

Opps

How to turn it on

I forgot the codes

🙂

[slate swan]

idk much but try intents = discord.intents.default()

See I was right @dusk pumice lol

[dusk pumice]

Truned it on but

[dusk pumice]

Not working

[dapper cobalt]

No. You said discord.intents which would raise an error.

[slate swan]

.

[dapper cobalt]

The i is capital, and not small.

[slate swan]

I’m on mobile tho

[slate swan]

Good presentation

credits to dpy server

[dapper cobalt]

Define "not working".

[dusk pumice]

XD

[slate swan]

Vex#3110 made the tag

what a bad person

[slate swan]

It’s not returning the status

[dusk pumice]

already fixed intents = discord.Intents.all()

[dusk pumice]

It's only retruning offline but My status is online

[slate swan]

so what's the code where you get the user's status

[slate swan]

try

[dusk pumice]

XD

[dusk dust]

how can i do a member count?

[dusk pumice]

what

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.member\_count

property member_count: int```
Returns the true member count regardless of it being loaded fully or not.

Warning

Due to a Discord limitation, in order for this attribute to remain up-to-date and accurate, it requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") to be specified.

[slate swan]

where discord.Guild should be replaced with an instance of itself

Wait nvm it wouldn’t work

[dusk pumice]

Status : {member.status}\r\nActivity : {member.activity}
Like this

[dapper cobalt]

Wait, what's\r?

[slate swan]

returns offline and None

?

[dusk pumice]

yea

That's what my bot is doing

[slate swan]

well is your member offline by any chance?

[dusk pumice]

It's getting MY status and activity

[slate swan]

Bruh ur offline

you just changed your status to online

it was offline

[dusk pumice]

I am online

[slate swan]

you just changed it

[dusk pumice]

?

HuhOkay. I didn't knew that

[slate swan]

I saw it

[dapper cobalt]

Sometimes you gotta blame your brain, not your code.

[boreal ravine]

😂

[slate swan]

that's not nice either

[dusk pumice]

[boreal ravine]

i should make a better version of this picture

[dapper cobalt]

I will make a website for it.

[dusk pumice]

for what?

[dapper cobalt]

discord-intents.com

[boreal ravine]

lol

[slate swan]

but you gotta refresh it

[dusk pumice]

lol

[visual island]

make a company when

[slate swan]

now you have to enable message content intent aswell

[boreal ravine]

https://discord-intents.com/

[slate swan]

not just the two

[dusk pumice]

yep.

[dusk pumice]

XD

[dapper cobalt]

Will include everything about Discord privileged intents, and also updated; since many people are clueless what even intents are.

[dusk pumice]

Hmm? your nickname changed

[dusk pumice]

nice
