discord-bots

[maiden fable]

Hahaha true

But

@slate swan you can do one thing

[slate swan]

.max_age maybe

[maiden fable]

Yea that only

Whenever u fetch an invite

Just store it in cache, and first check if the invite is there in the cache

If it ain't, then fetch it

[slate swan]

great idea

ty hunter !

[maiden fable]

But then, when the bot restarts, then RIP

?

[boreal ravine]

regex

[maiden fable]

He wasn't talking about that...

[boreal ravine]

o

[maiden fable]

He wanted to get the guild information whose invite was sent

[slate swan]

doesnt really matter , it usually keep running for a week or more until i update it

[maiden fable]

Ah, that's cool

!d pickle u can use this to store the invite object tho

[unkempt canyon]

pickle

Source code: Lib/pickle.py

The pickle module implements binary protocols for serializing and de-serializing a Python object structure. “Pickling” is the process whereby a Python object hierarchy is converted into a byte stream, and “unpickling” is the inverse operation, whereby a byte stream (from a binary file or bytes-like object) is converted back into an object hierarchy. Pickling (and unpickling) is alternatively known as “serialization”, “marshalling,” 1 or “flattening”; however, to avoid confusion, the terms used here are “pickling” and “unpickling”.

[slate swan]

also , ill make the calls ( or check )only if a log channel is set for the guild which would me 10-15 at most for now

[maiden fable]

Wait, or I have an idea... Tho not a good idea, if u wanna hear...

[slate swan]

sure

send code , and what you except to happen and what happens instead

[maiden fable]

Make raw requests to discord (don't use the client method), and just store the JSON received in a db

[boreal ravine]

here

[slate swan]

here ofc

[boreal ravine]

people dont do dm help here afaik

[slate swan]

hail aiohttp

[maiden fable]

Just use discord.Route() haha

[slate swan]

a bit harder , but better

[maiden fable]

But handle the JSON yourself

[slate swan]

ah that too

[maiden fable]

Imho, this is a better way

Since u will have access to the raw JSON and u can save it anywhere then

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

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

[slate swan]

whats the afkppl variable?

[boreal ravine]

mm so whats exactly wrong? the bot doesnt change your nick? you dont go afk?

ah

try using .listen() instead of .event at your on_message

[slate swan]

you cannot split a dictionary ( line 3)

[boreal ravine]

hm

split is only for strings

[slate swan]

!e {}.split()

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
003 | AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'split'

[slate swan]

you probably have a error handler which is eating up the errors

bad bad

[boreal ravine]

!e

try():
  ...
except:
  ...
``` ~~try function~~

[unkempt canyon]

@boreal ravine :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 |   File "<string>", line 1
002 |     try():
003 |        ^
004 | SyntaxError: expected ':'

[slate swan]

if isinstance( .....
   # stuff
else:
   raise error```

that try's except works if the bot is unable to send the command not found message

[slate swan]

No () btw

its reference

!d discord.Message.reference

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reference

The message that this message references. This is only applicable to messages of type MessageType.pins_add, crossposted messages created by a followed channel integration, or message replies.

New in version 1.5.

[boreal ravine]

yes i was meming someone

[slate swan]

a typo i.e.

you had a spelling mistake

refrence must be reference

[manic wing]

you see

[dense swallow]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

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

[vocal plover]

as the error states, you're inserting 6 values to 5 columns

[manic wing]

the answer is in the error

[dense swallow]

U have actually put one extra ? in values

[manic wing]

:)

[dense swallow]

Np 👍

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

Bro

that's weird

So I have 3 bots, like the following:

bots\
  sir-funbot\
    main.py
  sir-modbot\
    main.py
  sir-multibot\
    main.py

Each of these bots have their own token, how would I run all these three, at the same time? Like, do I need to connect them somehow?

[lament mesa]

Maybe you can use Client.start

Not sure will that work though

[slate swan]

u need 3 different terminals I think

[lament mesa]

!d discord.Client.start

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.start

await start(token, *, reconnect=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A shorthand coroutine for [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.login "discord.Client.login") + [`connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.connect "discord.Client.connect").

[slate swan]

Do I really? Can't I make a api wrapper and let 3 clients connect?

[lament mesa]

Wait nvm, Client.connect wont run any code after it

[slate swan]

whats dat

So, is there a way?

To like connect all 3 bots with different tokens, and run them all?

[cloud dawn]

You can use asyncio subprocessing

[slate swan]

Is there a tutorial for that?

[cloud dawn]

No

[slate swan]

then how would that work?

[cloud dawn]

!d asyncio.create_subprocess_shell

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_subprocess\_shell

coroutine asyncio.create_subprocess_shell(cmd, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, limit=None, **kwds)```
Run the *cmd* shell command.

The *limit* argument sets the buffer limit for [`StreamReader`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-stream.html#asyncio.StreamReader "asyncio.StreamReader") wrappers for `Process.stdout` and `Process.stderr` (if [`subprocess.PIPE`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.PIPE "subprocess.PIPE") is passed to *stdout* and *stderr* arguments).

Return a [`Process`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-subprocess.html#asyncio.asyncio.subprocess.Process "asyncio.asyncio.subprocess.Process") instance.

See the documentation of [`loop.subprocess_shell()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.subprocess_shell "asyncio.loop.subprocess_shell") for other parameters.

Important

It is the application’s responsibility to ensure that all whitespace and special characters are quoted appropriately to avoid [shell injection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_injection#Shell_injection) vulnerabilities. The [`shlex.quote()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/shlex.html#shlex.quote "shlex.quote") function can be used to properly escape whitespace and special shell characters in strings that are going to be used to construct shell commands.

[cloud dawn]

Most custom things don't have a tutorial.

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Intents
import dotenv
import os

dotenv.load_dotenv()
mod_token = os.getenv("modtoken")
fun_token = os.getenv("funtoken")
multi_token = os.getenv("multitoken")

mod_intents = Intents.all()
mod_bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=mod_intents)

fun_intents = Intents.all()

multi_intents = Intents.all()
multi_bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">", intents=multi_intents)

mod_bot.run(mod_token)
fun_bot.run(fun_token)
multi_bot.run(multi_token)

[slate swan]

Wouldn't this work?

[slate swan]

[cloud dawn]

Well no since .run() is blocking

[slate swan]

Yup just notices

[cloud dawn]

So the 2 bots underneath will never see daylight.

[slate swan]

Yeah I tried and ur right

can anyone tell me a command for verify

!verify

[slate swan]

So how would I use that?

[cloud dawn]

Click on the blue stuff it takes you to the docs.

[slate swan]

do u know how to make a verifu

[slate swan]

I did but don't expect me to understand this, it's completely new for me

[slate swan]

learn python

[cloud dawn]

Yes, but we help with discord bot's not make it for you.

[slate swan]

uh im excatly asking for a verify command

[slate swan]

Bro what??

[slate swan]

jk

[cloud dawn]

You can also use this

!d asyncio.create_subprocess_exec

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_subprocess\_exec

coroutine asyncio.create_subprocess_exec(program, *args, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, limit=None, **kwds)```
Create a subprocess.

The *limit* argument sets the buffer limit for [`StreamReader`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-stream.html#asyncio.StreamReader "asyncio.StreamReader") wrappers for `Process.stdout` and `Process.stderr` (if [`subprocess.PIPE`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.PIPE "subprocess.PIPE") is passed to *stdout* and *stderr* arguments).

Return a [`Process`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-subprocess.html#asyncio.asyncio.subprocess.Process "asyncio.asyncio.subprocess.Process") instance.

See the documentation of [`loop.subprocess_exec()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.subprocess_exec "asyncio.loop.subprocess_exec") for other parameters.

Deprecated since version 3.8, removed in version 3.10: The `loop` parameter. This function has been implicitly getting the current running loop since 3.7. See [What’s New in 3.10’s Removed section](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#whatsnew310-removed) for more information.

[cinder horizon]

is it plausible for a bot to detect if a user got betterdiscord?

[cloud dawn]

Impossible.

Betterdiscord only modifies JS on the user side so not even normal users can tell if they are using it.

[slate swan]

Could u at least give me a hint or an example? I don't understand the docs because of my english

[cloud dawn]

Scroll up on that website

[cinder horizon]

makes sense

thenks

[slate swan]

my language is not there

[cloud dawn]

No but an example is.

[slate swan]

which one of them do I do then?

The second one or the first one

[haughty dagger]

any possible way to use asyncio.sleep and as well as check for button clicks in the background?

[cloud dawn]

In the same command?

[haughty dagger]

yes

[cloud dawn]

Looks like you are describing wait_for

!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**...

[cloud dawn]

timeout will be the time it waits

[haughty dagger]

I've already used it, but I want to use asyncio.sleep() in between command while listening to button clicks simultaneously

[cloud dawn]

They are examples so not meant to be copy pasted.

[cloud dawn]

Well that is what wait_for does.

[haughty dagger]

but when I'm using asyncio.sleep, it stops listening to button clicks

[cloud dawn]

I suggest going to the URL and check out what it does.

[slate swan]

Yah I'm never gonna understand this it's completely new for me

I haven't learned async programming yet

[cloud dawn]

Everyone started off like this, if you haven't learned async programming yet. I recommend doing that first, we also don't recommend a discord bot as starting project.

[haughty dagger]

I'm already using it

[slate swan]

Asynchronous programming is not something you learn as a "beginner" and no I'm not a beginner, the exact reason to why I do this project (discord bot) is because I need to learn how decorators and asynchronous programming works. I'm not doing this just to do this

Learning stuff in programming separately is bad when it's something intermediate or advanced stuff, therefor I do a project that covers these two

[cloud dawn]

So why do you want to use asyncio.sleep()?

[slate swan]

thats bad.

[haughty dagger]

creating a game like command where user need to press correct button in 5 seconds else it'll skip to next step after 5 secs

[cloud dawn]

I completely agree with this statement, but not the fact you looked at for not even 5 minutes and said " I'm never gonna understand this". You need to do some research before coding, that is part of the job.

[slate swan]

generally bare excepts are not a good idea as they hide real errors

[cloud dawn]

I'm not such a fan of the while true in a discord bot either.

[slate swan]

ur right mb

[haughty dagger]

ik it's not the actual error, just in case if user has an active session then remove it else just go ahead..

[slate swan]

also, why are you defining your functions inside the while True: loop?

[haughty dagger]

for continuous wait_for I've to use it

[cloud dawn]

So try it out copy the example in a separate py file and debug something small. Then if you got it working or get into trouble you can always ask here.

[haughty dagger]

currently I'm just testing it, I'll make it cleaner later after it works

[slate swan]

i think you should await the 2nd call

[slate swan]

Sure, thanks

[cloud dawn]

!d asyncio.create_subprocess_exec

[unkempt canyon]

[cloud dawn]

I recommend looking at this (tip: read the args & kwargs)
CTRL+F is your best friend

[haughty dagger]

lemme see

I can see it's already deprecated

I'm on Py 3.9

[slate swan]

multiple bots with same file?

[cloud dawn]

You can but i recommend using x amount of files for x amount of bots since things can get messy fast.

[slate swan]

nah i mean , the X-FRST person ,
are they trying to do that or something related?

[cloud dawn]

Not that i know of.

[haughty dagger]

no?

why'd I?

[slate swan]

oh so maybe i gussed wrong because of the subprocess_exec

[cloud dawn]

truth is busy with that.

[slate swan]

Yay I fixed it but I ran into a issue

ooh

I saw another method that looked way more simple in the docs

i see , wrong person

from discord.ext import commands

@fun_bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Connected to {fun_bot.user.name}")

loop.run_forever()

Connected to Sir Modbot
Connected to <discord.ext.commands.bot.Bot object at 0x000001D0FF4A2EB0>
Connected to Sir Funbot

[haughty dagger]

lolol I thought it's for me

nvm

[slate swan]

This is the output, it seems to confuse inbetween the names?

What could I do?

wdym by confuse between the names?

@mod_bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Connected to {mod_bot.user.name}")

@fun_bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Connected to {fun_bot.user.name}")

@multi_bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Connected to {multi_bot.user.name}")

Returns:

Connected to Sir Funbot
Connected to Sir Multibot
Connected to Sir Modbot

It's wrong names

order of the printing statement?
doesnt depend on the order you defined the on_ready events

it gets print as per when they are ready

Ah I see

Thanks guys

But is there a easier way of doing this btw?

like, shorter

[void dew]

Can no one help me

Who knows is not helping and others doesn't know

[cloud dawn]

wdym?

[slate swan]

Nvm I was wrong, it was correct

[cloud dawn]

Not that i recall since you are working with multiple bots

[slate swan]

Right

[cloud dawn]

That's why i said to use x amount of files for x amount of bots since it can get messy fast

maby there is a way to make it shorter but i'd need to do research myself to find that out. Not many people do this so there will likely not be any examples.

[void dew]

is there anytn like if guild.community == true:? like the bot gets to know if community is enabled

[slate swan]

It does tho

Fat chance.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

thenks youse

[slate swan]

your wellcame

[cloud dawn]

I'm gonna play some games

👋

[slate swan]

cya panda , have fun

[void dew]

Can no one help me
Who knows is not helping and others doesn't know

[slate swan]

your problem?

[slate swan]

did you forget to add __init__.py files to your folders?

I don't need to?

Or do you mean if i initialize my event classes?

if so yes, i do call the __init__ method on my classes

Here is a example of one of the on_ready.py file:

from discord.ext.commands import Cog, Bot
import discord


class OnReady(Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot: Bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print(f"Started client as: {self.bot.user}")
        await self.bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="Commands: >help"))


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

ah wait I see you imported the modules by individual filenames

how do i make inventory check for the amount i have

if you'd like you can just add __init__.py files (like this https://github.com/OpenDebates/OpenDebates/blob/master/plugins/debate/__init__.py to your folders and just load them as extensions.

[slate swan]

you never assigned a value to variable amount so it can't find it

help i no brain ok

also replit has a built in database that you should use instead of external json files

[slate swan]

I first need to figure out how I can add cogs 🤷

i have a stupid in my brain

[slate swan]

the on ready cog looks good aside from loading activity in an on_ready event which I've heard some people complain about but it honestly doesn't matter

oh wait

Im an idiot I see your issue, you're prefixing these filenames with simply events. or cogs. which aren't actual relative filepaths to run.py's working directory

you should prefix them with sir-funbot.events or their other respective paths

Ohhh im an idiot too XD

It works now, thanks

[tawdry perch]

I saw someone importing clean_content from disocrd.ext.commands What is it?

[cloud dawn]

It converts the mentions etc to raw text

im trying to make a eval command

the prefix thing its prefix = '''py\n and suffix='''

[tawdry perch]

share the code + error or it's a bit hard to help

[slate swan]

how do i make inventory checker for how much amount i have

  for thing in users[str(ctx.author.id)]["inventory"]:
    thingy = thing["amount"]

  print(f"{thingy} found")```

[slate swan]

Copy pasting code won't make you learn

anyone know how to send a message to a user using their user id?

specifically here

what?

[void dew]

Then what to do how to fix that

I don't know that

[slate swan]

A dm or a msg with a mention

Getting the guild id in an on_user_update event in discord.py does anyone know how to do this??

[slate swan]

what?

i mean dm as in direct chat messages

[vocal magnet]

You've already been told that we do not help with any projects that use ytdl here, as it's against YouTube's terms of service. Please stop asking about it.

[slate swan]

u there?

Error ?

You cannot add parameters as you wish

Remove the *, message parameters

does not work either

[stone palm]

how do i edit the most recent message in a channel
the most recent message from the bot

[slate swan]

By using get_user(id) and saving it in a variable, then you can use .send() on that variable

[slate swan]

like this?

No

do i have to use send?

Yes

or send message

oh

|send_message` is old code

You shouldn't copy paste from internet old code

And it's get_user

And the IDs are integers, not strings

true

thank you

And it's not bot.send but just user.send

thanks again

And?

That's what your code does, it's correct

Add .mention if you want to mention the user

[slate swan]

i think i did something wrong here

i did not get any error but when i type shoot nothing happened

Then just ctx.message....

[stone palm]

how do i edit the most recent message in a channel
the most recent message from the bot

[slate swan]

It's just user.send("stuff")

Remove the message argument, already told you

do i have to use prefix while using in server?

[slate swan]

for this?

It only takes specific arguments which are only ctx and error

[slate swan]

@slate swan

And no you don't, it checks for every message, as the event name says

ah okay

message.content, basic python objects...

still 😦

it doesnt send me a dm

why doesnt it work

where

No

Don't mislead people

😐

[slate swan]

The user is not in cache, so you'd need to use ...get_user(id) or await bot.fetch_user(id)

It's not a command, read the code please....

And I'm not your bro

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/877408527386288174.png?size=48

oh god

[slate swan]

^^

Anyways, enjoy getting mislead, have a great day

[slate swan]

what no , i am just trying to make it work

[slate swan]

i did use it still doesnt work

any idea why?

Again, remove the unneeded user,

Just user.send("blah")

[covert igloo]

[slate swan]

yes still same

Do you even get errors

no it just did not send me any dm

oh wait i have an idea i'll use a print()

!code ;-;

[slate swan]

An on_message event only takes a message argument

So stop misleading people

okay so IF block is not triggered

I already told you that a few minutes ago....

this does not print the print statement

so if block is FALSE?

What message do you send

shoot

right?

Wait, why do you use await get_user

await is only for fetch_user

bot.get_user(id)
await bot.fetch_user(id)

Like that

Only fetch_user is a coroutine

oo

get user doesnt have to be coroutine

you are right

No, get_user is not a coroutine, nothing to do with having to be one or not

right

[slate swan]

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

Check at the end of that section, you need to raise your own error

[slate swan]

same

if loop evaluates to false

What is your code now

Print the message content

message.content ?

Yes

in the IF loop or out

Before your if statement of course

ok

all how write code in frem ?

[slate swan]

nothing gets printed on console

🤨

not even this

other commands work tho

Do you have another on_message event?

no

only one

only one

Lol what?

[weary gale]

anybody have an announce command code i can use pls

that i can !announce 'message'

or something like that

[slate swan]

We don't give code, we help you progress with the issues you face

[pale zenith]

run the coroutine before you subscript from it. IDK if that makes sense but:
https://leo.actually-needs-more.tech/5eXyS4ath

[valid niche]

you cannot do stuff = await func()['key']

it will first run the ['key'] and then the await

[pliant gulch]

You need to surround await get_entry with round brackets before indexing

(await ...())[i]

[valid niche]

if you want it the other way around, first do the await func, get the result, and subscript that

or surround it with round brackets

[pliant gulch]

Just like in math, basically your forcing the order of operations

[slate swan]

Hello, how can we make our bot create a role or what they have the role can see it?

[pale zenith]

?

[slate swan]

Is it possible to change this icon

[pale zenith]

Bots cant use rich presences, last i checked.

[mortal dove]

Can I have some easyish bot command ideas?

[pliant gulch]

They can't and it seems like this user is using a selfbot

[slate swan]

my user info command shows account creation date and user badges, im trying to make it find badges for users outside of shared guilds, i understand that i have to use fetch with this, but id have to also use a memberconverter to do so, which i dont know how to do, so ive thought of alternatives, could i do something like (user: Union[discord.User, discord.Member, id:int)]

[pliant gulch]

Why do you need to use the member converter?

A member is connected to a guild, it wouldn't be possible if you don't have a shared guild

[slate swan]

using fetch, id have to redefine it wouldnt i?

thats just what i was told lol

[slate swan]

i mean via user id

so if the user id that the author sent in the userinfo command belongs to a user not in the guild, then it doesnt return the rest of the command like status, presence, and joined time (which is what i also have in the command)

just badges and creation time (which i have defined)

[pliant gulch]

You just typehint Member | User like you are doing right now

Then you isinstance the user variable

To check whether or not its a User or Member

[slate swan]

so (user: Union[discord.User, discord.Member, id: int)] could work?

[pliant gulch]

Why do you have the id??

[slate swan]

so it can pull data that i want for users that arent in the guild

[pliant gulch]

You can just typehint User

There is no point of id here

And that isn't even valid

[slate swan]

whats typehint..

[pliant gulch]

Union[...] is a typehint,

[slate swan]

ohh

[pliant gulch]

You are typehinting User | Member currently

[slate swan]

alright

so to clarify, ...(user: Union[discord.User, discord.Member]): can work for what i need it to do?

[pliant gulch]

Yes, then you isinstance user to check if its a User or Member

If it is a user you pass the id attr of user to fetch_user

[slate swan]

alright, that doesnt seem all that difficult

[slate swan]

by chance, is there a doc for this?

[pliant gulch]

fetch_user returns a discord.User object, this object has an id attribute

You can access it via dotnotation or getattr

!d discord.User.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.id

The user’s unique ID.

[slate swan]

ty

[faint echo]

stop sending the file and embed together

only send one, in this case the embed.

that should work

Oh ok

Yep your fix is the only fix

what I said up above does not work

just tried

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/cayasuquve.py

How?

[boreal ravine]

time wasnt an int

Read. The. Error.

[valid niche]

your command expects the input tempmute (user) 60 m, you did tempmute (user) 60m

also

    for role in guild.roles:
        if role.name == "Muted":
            await member.add_roles(role)
``` is an extremely inefficient way to achieve this, you should either do guild.get_role(id), or if you insist on using the name, use `discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name='Muted')`

[jade tartan]

How do you put int in the time para?

[valid niche]

read my response

[jade tartan]

Yeah ik that but i forgot to change it

[pliant gulch]

discord.utils.get literally does the same thing he is doing internally iirc

I mean, all get methods in dpy are O(n) iirc so

Yea it should be

1. Why do you have client = commands.Bot? That's just bad naming convention
2. It's the on_message

[pliant gulch]

Your overwriting the default on_message event, which is where the bot internally does process_commands

Either change your on_message to a listener via .listen() instead of .event

[valid niche]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

[pliant gulch]

Or manually add process_commands

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands

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

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") if so.

[boreal ravine]

channel isnt defined

[valid niche]

channel doesn't exist, and even if it did, mention_866571652518641684 is not an attribute of a channel

[blazing coral]

i get that but when i put it in like

async def shopclose(ctx, channel.mention, role.mention)

[boreal ravine]

Bruh

[blazing coral]

i just seen his mssage

[valid niche]

you cannot use attributes as argument names

[blazing coral]

ok

[valid niche]

you must supply a descriptive name, and a . character is NOT permitted

[blazing coral]

ok

[boreal ravine]

just get the channel then mention it

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

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

[valid niche]

if you have the ID, this is rather overkill, and error prone if the cache isn't in check

just do <#id> at that point

[boreal ravine]

Fetch it then?

[boreal ravine]

ah

[valid niche]

API calls should be avoided at all costs

[boreal ravine]

🙃

[blazing coral]

so for the channel just do {id}

[pliant gulch]

Imo API calls should be avoided when they aren't needed for an action, they shouldn't be avoided to the point where it becomes cumbersome to do what you want effectively

[valid niche]

.....?

[boreal ravine]

@blazing coral

[valid niche]

okay different wording: avoid API calls when you can

[pliant gulch]

That sounds a lot better

[boreal ravine]

[#python-discussion](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/267624335836053506/) like this

[blazing coral]

yeah what i ment sorry

so now what about the role

[valid niche]

#python-discussion == [#python-discussion](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/267624335836053506/)

[blazing coral]

alright

[boreal ravine]

<@&764802720779337729> = <@&764802720779337729>

[valid niche]

<@!user_id> or <@user_id> (discord really is inconsistent when it comes to user mentions. It accepts both as input, and returns either with or without !)
<@&role_id>
<#channel_id> (can be any channel type)

[pliant gulch]

You can also mention voice channels

#751591688538947646

[boreal ravine]

Channel

[pliant gulch]

I know, I'm just saying so

Cause some people don't know you can

<@!user_id> or <@user_id> (discord really is inconsistent when it comes to user mentions. It accepts both as input, and returns either with or without !)
This used to be here for nicknames iirc

But now there is no difference

[valid niche]

it's the same yes, but discord returns either one or the other and it's just

like just remove the one without ! to make it consistent a special character for each case

[pliant gulch]

They used to use it for nicknames ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Then it got deprecated

[valid niche]

but not anymore so yeah

just remove it at that point

[pliant gulch]

Not a big deal to remove it or not

Seems just like a nitpick

[blazing coral]

alright the channel one worked but the role one didnt

[boreal ravine]

How didn't it work

[valid niche]

the thing that bothers me is that if you want to make something that can find mentions in a message, you need to check both cases because discord just doesn't return one or the other, but a mixmash

[boreal ravine]

🤨

[pliant gulch]

So your just gonna throw backwards compatibility out for visual preference?

[valid niche]

it's been deprecated for quite a while, and it's not just visual but actually a logical thing programmers have to keep in mind

[slate swan]

why does this not work?

[valid niche]

define "doesn't work"

[pliant gulch]

Unless you are parsing it raw, the wrapper you use should be handling everything already

This isn't a normal usercase

[slate swan]

if looop evaluates to false

[valid niche]

jokes on you, i am that user that makes a wrapper

[pliant gulch]

Plus, keeping it allows for backwards compatability

[slate swan]

when i type shoot in server nothing happens

[pliant gulch]

Is disthon still being worked on?

[valid niche]

definitely

[pliant gulch]

What stage are you guys at right now

[valid niche]

tho a lot of devs are currently very busy with school so it's been a bit slower the last few weeks

[valid niche]

currently being very busy with getting everything working again because someone decided to push a major update without testing it properly and it's riddled with errors, but it's also a lot of valuable code and not worth it to just revert

[pliant gulch]

Why do non maintainers have power to push directly?

[valid niche]

https://github.com/AA1999/Disthon/tree/import-fix current state

[valid niche]

it was a maintainer

[pliant gulch]

Ah....

[valid niche]

it was literally the owner of the library

[pliant gulch]

Yikes

[pliant gulch]

Me and blanket are grinding lefi down right now pushing hella commits, thats why I added a lot of CI

So I don't break anything

Blanket alr finished voice impl, and now I just need to finish interactions and its off to v1.0.0

[blazing coral]

It mentions the channel just not the role

[valid niche]

you cannot mention a role in that field

[blazing coral]

But it did thou like I said it mentions the channel not the role in the embed

[boreal ravine]

did u realize blanket got banned

[pliant gulch]

I do, because the mods think he joined on an alt

[valid niche]

you can mention things in the value or description of an embed/embed field, not in the title or name of an embed/embed field

[blazing coral]

Oh alright

[boreal ravine]

he joined on an alt?

[blazing coral]

Makes sense

[valid niche]

i'd say this isn't the place to discuss infractions and whatnot

[pliant gulch]

No, he was calling someone a beginner and someone joined and insulted the user

Mods thought it was him

[boreal ravine]

ah thats what he told me

[valid niche]

I was hoping once we got these major errors out the way we could start implementing our models into the API handling stuff and hopefully push for an early first build to be published

i mean i could push to pypi right now, but once you import the library you get an error right away haha

[pliant gulch]

Your codebase owner should really learn how to do packages correctly

At least repo's getting serious development

[valid niche]

i've tried to tell him a lot, just he pushed without thinking since he did a ton of work

he sometimes just is a bit overambitious and just spurs out random things that aren't exactly...right

[pliant gulch]

A tip from me is to add a lot of CI

Catches a lot of things

Like if you take a look at lefi's repo, you can see a lot of CI and tests

I even went a bit overboard and wrote shell scripts and a Makefile

[valid niche]

i have no idea what a CI even is and i doubt anyone else knows apart from maybe alec

[pliant gulch]

Workflow stuff, continuous integration

[valid niche]

if i have some time i might just see if i can take a look

[pliant gulch]

And you should start documenting all your models in disthon, it gets really hard to catchup later on

I would know

😓

[valid niche]

issue is we're still making major changes atm so documenting was put off a bit

we are aware and it's on the agenda

we'll try to add at least docstrings to everything in the near future

[pliant gulch]

Are you gonna be doing RST docs

[valid niche]

owner already claimed a RTD page for it, it's just empty atm: https://disthon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[pliant gulch]

I'm talking about your docstrings format

[blazing coral]

so how would i go about getting my command message to delete after the embed is sent

[valid niche]

ah that

[boreal ravine]

Command message?

[blazing coral]

yeah so when i type the command pp!d shopopen

[pliant gulch]

Does disthon have a support server or a group dm, cause I have time to do code reviews, seems like you guys need it

[blazing coral]

i want the command to delete after the embed has been sent

[pliant gulch]

A fellow wrapper maintainer gotta communicate with others

[valid niche]

there is a discord server yes

[pliant gulch]

[pliant gulch]

Where do I find this

[valid niche]

wait let me add it to the readme file

there we go it's in the readme now

https://github.com/AA1999/Disthon

[blazing coral]

how do i get my command message to delete after the embed has been sent

sorry to be a bother by the way

[valid niche]

ctx.message.delete()

[blazing coral]

so it would be somthing like

[valid niche]

also next time, just put the message, no need to reply to a random message

[blazing coral]

await ctx.message.delete(pp!d shopopen)```

@valid niche

like that

[valid niche]

there's no argument

it's just....delete

[blazing coral]

? im lost what you mean by just delete

[boreal ravine]

it takes no arguments he means

[blazing coral]

oh alright

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

hey can someone please help me with this

when i type shoot in server nothing happens

[boreal ravine]

Is there an error

[slate swan]

no

there is no error

there is the code

it didnt work

here is the error

Don't ping random people

So whats the error

[blazing coral]

    raise MissingRequiredArgument(param)
discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: delete is a required argument that is missing.```

[boreal ravine]

ah

[blazing coral]

i dont know why cause i have it

there

[boreal ravine]

delete doesnt take any arguments only keyword arguments

[slate swan]

what about this? any ideas?

[blazing coral]

so ....

[valid niche]

well now you created a delete argument, which must be passed

[boreal ravine]

So remove the string and delay from it

[blazing coral]

alright

[boreal ravine]

delete is gonna be undefined so use this

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.message

The message that triggered the command being executed.

[blazing coral]

but if i remove the string im going to get a syntax error

[boreal ravine]

you aren't?

[blazing coral]

but i did

[boreal ravine]

Whats the error

[blazing coral]

    await delete(pp!d shopclose)
                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax```

[boreal ravine]

Do you know what a string is

[blazing coral]

' '

i belive thats it

[boreal ravine]

those are quotation marks

[blazing coral]

i know what an f string is

[boreal ravine]

"string" <= this is a string

[boreal ravine]

i didnt say f string

[blazing coral]

yes so a " " is a string

[boreal ravine]

your supposed to delete the string not remove the quotation marks from it

[blazing coral]

ok

its still saying delete is a required argument that is missing thou

[boreal ravine]

you arent supposed to have a delete argument

we never said that

[boreal ravine]

@blazing coral read that first click the link

[slate swan]

# Server is mc.hypixel.net
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    async with session.get(str('https://api.mcsrvstat.us/2/') + str(server)) as OpenURL:

Keep getting Command raised an exception: JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) error, don't know why

so i figured out this whole block is not running

any idea why?

ok

bot.listen()

@bot.event

what?

[boreal ravine]

JSON link doesn't exist?

[slate swan]

i am using bot.listen so it doesn't over ride bot.command

[slate swan]

it works for me.....

[boreal ravine]

Well click the link can you show me the JSON output

[slate swan]

as you see in the code, I am adding a string set to mc.hypixel.net

[boreal ravine]

ah

that isnt the full URL then?

i mean this =>https://api.mcsrvstat.us/2/

[slate swan]

str('https://api.mcsrvstat.us/2/') + str(server)

o

ohhhh

the slash is canceling the '

nvm

I don't need help anymore

nvm, didn't fix lol

[slate swan]

its not

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.9)").

Example...

[slate swan]

^

check the example

[mortal dove]

When I using on_member_join/remove, how do I tell what guild they left?

[sick birch]

member.guild

[slate swan]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_guild_remove(self, guild):
    print(guild.name)

[slate swan]

^

[mortal dove]

Ah yeah, that makes sense. Thanks anyways haha

[slate swan]

lol

(me just realizing that I sent the wrong thing)

[mortal dove]

nah you sent the right thing

well I mean it works

Wait how would I get the member then?

[slate swan]

I sent on_guild_remove, not on_member_leave

[vapid berry]

#bot-commands

[mortal dove]

nvm lol

[slate swan]

ok

[boreal ravine]

yeah

[robust ridge]

need help mentioning someones tag when i ban them

idk what it is

if its like user.tag

[slate swan]

user.discriminator

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member this returns the member name/tag iirc

[robust ridge]

or member.tag

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

[slate swan]

so i should not use listen?

[robust ridge]

ok ty

[slate swan]

I wouldn't

what should i use then?

[boreal ravine]

Why wouldn't you?

.listen() is already great why would you change it

[slate swan]

so what do u recommend?

what's causing the problem

you tell him then I have no experience with .listen() which is why I wouldn't use it.

why does it not get triggered

[boreal ravine]

if you have no experience with it why'd you comment on him?

you should understand things first before commenting on stuff

[robust ridge]

didnt work

[robust ridge]

that showed this <class 'discord.member.Member'>

[slate swan]

from what part does it stop executing

what u mean?

other commands still work

[slate swan]

does it not print anything at all?

[boreal ravine]

use the member object not the class

[slate swan]

no

thats what im asking

nothing

[robust ridge]

embed.add_field(name = "test", value = discord.Member, inline = True)

[boreal ravine]

why u using the class

[sick birch]

listen is great, it should be prefered over .event depending on condition

[boreal ravine]

🤨

[robust ridge]

oh

[slate swan]

didja put parenthesis?

[slate swan]

that's what someone told me here earlier that's why i am using it

[sick birch]

the way it's often done: .event with on_message to check if the message is by a bot, if it is, return ,if not process_commands

[slate swan]

cause I thought he meant event

[sick birch]

i've seen it be done in danny's bot that way

[slate swan]

then why does my code not work?

[sick birch]

what do you mean by "not work"

[boreal ravine]

was your bot online when u ran the event

[sick birch]

and can you send your code?

[slate swan]

it just doesnt work, neither it prints the print() command nor it does anything when i type shoot

[sick birch]

okay, can we see the code ?

[robust ridge]

whats the object again lol

[slate swan]

yes there is another commands they work

[slate swan]

sure

[boreal ravine]

maybe the event isnt getting triggered

[slate swan]

u want the full code?

[sick birch]

no just the .listen

[slate swan]

exactly!

[sick birch]

the print isn't getting triggered?

[slate swan]

right

its not getting triggered

[sick birch]

is this bot verified? are the message intents on?

[slate swan]

sorry what?

[sick birch]

is your bot verified?

[slate swan]

do u mean this?

[slate swan]

no

[sick birch]

enable message intents

[slate swan]

where?

[robust ridge]

check developer portal

for ur intents

[sick birch]

in the dev portal, also in the code

[robust ridge]

hmm

[sick birch]

intents.messages = true

[mild token]

U can think object as car which has different attributes(color,etc) and method(driving etc)

[slate swan]

@sick birch its on

[robust ridge]

i meant like

[sick birch]

what about in the code?

[robust ridge]

an example with code

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Intents.messages

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.messages

Whether guild and direct message related events are enabled.

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

This corresponds to the following events...

[slate swan]

u mean this right?

how do i enable it in code?

[sick birch]

and in the code as well

[slate swan]

intents.messages = true

[sick birch]

like so

[jade tartan]

roles = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles,"Member", "▬▬▬ Reaction Roles ▬▬▬", "▬▬▬ Member Roles ▬▬▬")

Is that how you add multiple roles when a member joins?

or is it autorole

[sick birch]

no

[mild token]

# a class
 
 

class Dog: 

     

    # A simple class

    # attribute

    attr1 = "mammal"

    attr2 = "dog"
 

    # A sample method  

    def fun(self): 

        print("I'm a", self.attr1)

        print("I'm a", self.attr2)
 
# Object instantiation

Rodger = Dog()
 
# Accessing class attributes
# and method through objects

print(Rodger.attr1)
Rodger.fun()

[boreal ravine]

get the role

[sick birch]

utils.get takes an iterable, and an attribute

[mild token]

@robust ridge

[robust ridge]

OH

I GET IT NOW T Y

[jade tartan]

Ok so thats not how a member gets a role when he joins

[mild token]

Glad to help🙂

[unkempt canyon]

Naw.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

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

[boreal ravine]

^

[jade tartan]

k thnx

But i dont want the role id

[slate swan]

alright done

[jade tartan]

i need the name of it

?

[sick birch]

get the roles one by one

[boreal ravine]

^

[sick birch]

or use a map()

[boreal ravine]

a = discord.utils.get()
b = discord.utils.get()
``` and so on

[slate swan]

it still doesnt work

[sick birch]

map/list comp works just as well

[slate swan]

😭

[sick birch]

that's odd, try intents.all() just for testing

[sick birch]

.

[slate swan]

where

[mild token]

It take iterator so in () write (ctx.guild.roles, name= "your name")

It will return the first match

[sick birch]

instead of intents.default() do intents.all()

[slate swan]

alright

[jade tartan]

roles = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles,name= "your role name")

right?

[mild token]

_role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles,name= "your role name")

[slate swan]

still

[jade tartan]

Is there any await type with that code?

if that make sense

[mild token]

If u check documentation it has mentioned where to use await

[jade tartan]

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.

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

[jade tartan]

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

[mild token]

Yes 2nd if has more space

[slate swan]

especially code from line 21 to 30

[mild token]

[mild token]

Intents are for commands that use stuff related to members

[gaunt herald]

In python indentation is important in your case after return everything is ignored
