why member.id and ctx.author.id are different?

disnake v2.2.1

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

Because you loop through all the members of the guild (aka server)

And there's not only the author as member of the guild

[queen gull]

Hello, I am trying to make a discord bot to play music. This is the code I have for the play command

@client.command(name='play', help='This command plays music')
async def play(ctx,url):
    if not ctx.message.author.voice:
        await ctx.send('You must be in a voice channel to play music')
        return
    else:
        channel = ctx.message.author.voice.channel
        
    await channel.connect()
    
    server = ctx.message.guild
    voice_channel = server.voice_client
    query = await client.wait_for("message")
    query2 = query.replace(" ","+")
    url = "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query={}".format(query2)
    html = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
    video_ids = re.findall(r"watch\?v=(\S{11})",html.read().decode())
    full_url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + video_ids[0]
    
    async with ctx.typing():
        player = await YTDLSource.from_url(full_url, loop=client.loop)
        voice_channel.play(player, after=lambda e: print('Player error %s' %e) if e else None)
    
    await ctx.send(f'Now Playing: {player.title}')

When I use the play command in discord the bot doesn't do anything

[desert halo]

oh really? that's what it should do

[slate swan]

Wdym dpy is still usable but not maintained and disnake is the best option,has the same syntax

[quiet coral]

Hello I am pretty new to discord.py have been working with for a about one month I have built a cryptocurrency bot but I still feel like I am lacking fluency with the library . I am looking for bot ideas do you have any to suggest ?

[slate swan]

Rank system, rank shop,polls and giveaways

[regal shell]

Hey so when I try to make my bot token a secret using

client.login(process.env.token)

It says
Traceback (most recent call last);

[slate swan]

Wdym a secret are you using replit?

[regal shell]

Yeah I’m on chromebook so can’t use vsc

[pliant gulch]

process.env.token? This isn't javascript

[quiet coral]

Rank shop ??? What is it

[slate swan]

I think so never seen it before

[pliant gulch]

They use process.env in javascript

[slate swan]

Ranks like levels kinda stuff

[slate swan]

Idk i dont use js lmao

[regal shell]

Idk that’s what my friend told me to use

[pliant gulch]

Are you sure your friend is using discord.py???

Cause from what they told you seems to me like they are using javascript

[slate swan]

And not discord.js

[regal shell]

He said he’s using js but it’s the same command Idfk I’m new to this lol

[pliant gulch]

It isn't the same thing

[slate swan]

Not same syntax

Doesnt seem like your friend understands python

Bro?

[regal shell]

Idk hes a computer nerd

What should I use to hide it instead of process.env.token

[slate swan]

<@&831776746206265384> someone sent a nazi logo picture in the chat but got deleted so pls stay in the look out

[visual island]

!d os.getenv

[unkempt canyon]

os.getenv

os.getenv(key, default=None)```
Return the value of the environment variable *key* if it exists, or *default* if it doesn’t. *key*, *default* and the result are str.

On Unix, keys and values are decoded with [`sys.getfilesystemencoding()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.getfilesystemencoding "sys.getfilesystemencoding") and `'surrogateescape'` error handler. Use [`os.getenvb()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.getenvb "os.getenvb") if you would like to use a different encoding.

[Availability](https://docs.python.org/3/library/intro.html#availability): most flavors of Unix, Windows.

[slate swan]

^

[regal shell]

So
os.env.get(token)

[slate swan]

Irrc client.run(os.env.get(token))

Idk i dont use replit

[regal shell]

Ah ok I’ll try it thanks 😊

[slate swan]

Np

If im wrong andy can probably correct me

[visual island]

that's another way to do it yeah

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

Thx for the correction ig

[regal shell]

Now it’s saying “os” is not defined I hate this lol

[visual island]

import it

[slate swan]

import os

[visual island]

it's os.environ mb

os.environ.get

.environ itself returns a Mapping/dict

[slate swan]

^

[regal shell]

Bruh I hate this sm
It now says token is not defined but it’s written the same in the secret repl hates me

Pic is sending

[pliant gulch]

Your doing token

Not "token"

You need to pass the name of your environment variable

[regal shell]

Finally

[regal shell]

Thanks bro

[slate swan]

Yeah but eventually it will end, api will keep upgrading and eventually deprecate the current version. I'll check out disnake thanks

[slate swan]

Yeah and yw

[quiet coral]

If I wanted to get a list of all the commands that are available in my bot how can I do that?

[bronze pilot]

If your command prefix is ! do !help

[quiet coral]

not in the discord server I wanna get the list in my python script

[bronze pilot]

idk

[quiet coral]

ok thnx anyway

[slate swan]

You want a list of all the commands in a script and add it to a list?

[quiet coral]

I wanna map it with another list

[bronze pilot]

Working with polls and voting now.
I'm using embeds and would like to implement reaction voting.
Two questions: Is there already a method for polls with discord.py?
If not, how can I check when a user has "voted" (clicked on a reaction)?

I know there's an on_reaction_add() event handler but I'm not sure how to implement this in a way that it will only be invoked when a reaction is added to one of the poll embeds, not any other message

[stoic bridge]

you can use i think client.commands its a list of all the commands in your bot

[wicked atlas]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

property commands: Set[discord.ext.commands.core.Command[discord.ext.commands.core.CogT, Any, Any]]```
A unique set of commands without aliases that are registered.

[wicked atlas]

:(

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

[quiet coral]

ok thnx

[cerulean osprey]

How would I go about making a command that changes the activity of the bot? Naturally I’d want it locked to me but I could do that part

[slate swan]

I think you ment a task

[cerulean osprey]

Nah I want to change the activity with a command at any moment

[stoic bridge]

you can do

@client.command()
async def change_activity(ctx, activity):
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name=str(activity)))

but everyone can use this command you may need to check if the author is the owner of the bot

[cerulean osprey]

Could I do
if author.id == “<my id>”:
<code>

[stoic bridge]

i think it could work

[cerulean osprey]

Alr thank you

[stoic bridge]

np

[kindred epoch]

Or just use the owner check decorator thing

[patent lark]

bot.run(os.getenv("token"))

[cerulean osprey]

@client.command()
async def change_activity(ctx, activity):
    if ctx.author.id == '591047383044063244':
        await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name=str(activity)))
    else:
        await ctx.send('This command is restricted for Wind!')

This is sending the else statement when I try

[slate swan]

Yeah but thats if the person has admin perms but if its a public bot and only the bot owner can do it just do is_owner or there was something like the in the docs dont quite remember

[pliant gulch]

Your comparing id attribute of author which is an int to a str

It will always be false

You need to remove the single quotes from the id you are comparing it to

[cerulean osprey]

Oh I did that and it gave an error but it just wasnt loading, thank you

[slate swan]

If you do it a bunch of times you will get ratelimited btw

Dont know how much requests but its in the docs

[cerulean osprey]

Figured as much, I dont plan to spam it 80 thousand times tho

Prob just 1-2 times every now and then

[pliant gulch]

Its a gateway command so

You can do 120 change presence commands in 60 seconds at a time without getting ratelimited

After that you will be automatically disconnected

[cerulean osprey]

Oh good, so I dont have to worry

[slate swan]

Wdym by gateway?

[slate swan]

How do you even remember that😭

[pliant gulch]

change_presence is a payload directly sent to the gateway

Not an endpoint on the API

[slate swan]

I see

[pliant gulch]

I remember it because I'm writing my own discord API wrapper

I remember making the ratelimiter for the websocket

[slate swan]

Oh wow nice

[slate swan]

just curious whats your goal exactly?

[pliant gulch]

Goal for what

[slate swan]

Like for the project ig like what are you trying to achieve?

Just curious btw dont mean it in a bad way

[pliant gulch]

A cleanly written wrapper and one with 100% coverage other than user endpoints

As well as utility focused

[heavy folio]

how do i use find_one_and_delete in mongodb?
so its an unblacklist command and i wanna erase the user's id along with the blacklist reason from the db (its in one document tho)

[slate swan]

Oh nice good luck on the project!

[pliant gulch]

Thanks, we already have 100% coverage on rest Iirc

[slate swan]

Oh wow best of luck with the project hope it goes big with all the effort you guys put in to it!

[pliant gulch]

not going so well morale wise rn

I decided last night to switch docstring style to rST

[slate swan]

😭

[pliant gulch]

So I literally have to redoc the whole library

That's what I'm doing right now actually, spent the whole day going through 5k lines of code redoccing

[slate swan]

Damn wish i could help you but im intermediate lmao

[slate swan]

Best of luck 😭

[slate swan]

I have 0 idea about it

[heavy folio]

^

[kindred epoch]

Isn't that what I said?

[slate swan]

You gaved a option that didnt specified "owner" exactly

[kindred epoch]

Huh

I said owner check decorator which totally means the is_owner check which is a decorator

[slate swan]

Alr🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

Yes i know it is

[regal shell]

@regal shell read this

[slate swan]

in discord.TextChannel.delete_messages is the messages arg just a list[int] or a list of message objects?

[slate swan]

message objects they should be

[slate swan]

can i make them custom objects with attribute "id" set to a snowflake?

because it would be very ineficiant if i had to fetch all the messages

!e

print('"why is there a single apostrophe before this string"')

[unkempt canyon]

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

"why is there a single apostrophe before this string"

[valid perch]

!d discord.Object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object

class discord.Object(id)```
Represents a generic Discord object.

The purpose of this class is to allow you to create ‘miniature’ versions of data classes if you want to pass in just an ID. Most functions that take in a specific data class with an ID can also take in this class as a substitute instead. Note that even though this is the case, not all objects (if any) actually inherit from this class.

There are also some cases where some websocket events are received in [strange order](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/21) and when such events happened you would receive this class rather than the actual data class. These cases are extremely rare.

x == y Checks if two objects are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the object’s hash.

[slate swan]

thanks

[slate swan]

yea sure

oh skelmis already answered it

[slate swan]

error.missing_perms must be the thing

you would have to add a py @commands.bot_has_permissions() check in the command tho

[outer violet]

how would i add square root to this calculator command? would it be the same as just doing another elif or- (i already imported math)
https://mystb.in/RecognisedInsertionGovernance.csharp

[regal shell]

anyone know why its doing this it was just running before

nvm figured it out lol

[sick birch]

1. it's client.command(), not client.command,
2. client.command() needs to decorate an actual coroutine
3. your client.run(...) is indented incorrectly, if done correctly, it should be at the top-level indent

[regal shell]

no i had it correct its because i had a random @ client.command in there

the command wasnt finished so it was trying to use the token as the command im guessing

[slate swan]

What are things needed to delete a message sent by webhook

[hazy agate]

hey

i have a doubt

while making discord bots

this is my commands

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import music

cogs = [music]

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

@commands.command()
async def kick(ctx, member : discord.Member, *, reason=None):

await ctx.send(f"{member} was kicked!")

@commands.command()
async def rickrole(ctx):
await ctx.send("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ")

client.run("TOKEN")

[supple thorn]

What

[slate swan]

U should probably lock ban and kick to members already with those perms

[brazen raft]

You should rename client to bot since it is not just a client but rather a bot, and you need to do @bot.command() not @commands.command()

And I'm assuming it's running? Otherwise you need to add bot.run("and put your bot's token here") to the bottom of your code

[slate swan]

He got that but client.run

[sick birch]

what exactly is the issue, aside from the fixes others have suggested?

[full valley]

Hi guys, how would I make a command where its also listening for another members id or @mention,

e.g. !stats @ other user

[slate swan]

add a member argument to your command func

[full valley]

Yeah I have, but just a little confused

[hazy agate]

thx man i appreciate

and i am using replit for some reason

i use to use visual

import discord

like

i need to download moules

modules*

can someone suggest me>?

[hazy agate]

i have did it

but i dont want to leak token

[slate swan]

Using yt for a music bot is against yt TOS btw

!ytdl

[slate swan]

And you probably want to use on kick and ban command ```py
@commands.has_permissions(permission = True)

[hazy agate]

ok

hey

this

but this is not working

[slate swan]

Code and traceback?

[hazy agate]

no

i use visual

and whas the

command

client.command()

or

bot.command()

or

commands.command()

[slate swan]

Depends on your commands.bot.Bot var tbh

[hazy agate]

ok

wanna be friendz

[slate swan]

Not a command its a decorator

yo

@hazy agate i think i have a fix for the ban

[hazy agate]

wdym

[sick birch]

@hazy agate

• client.command() if you named your commands.Bot instance client (bad naming practice, should not be doing this)
• bot.command() if you named your commands.Bot instance bot (good naming practice, should be doing this)
• commands.command() if your command is within a commands.Cog subclassed class, or you are using bot.add_command() to manually register a command

[hazy agate]

bri

bro*

[slate swan]

what

[hazy agate]

like i dont know how many modules i need to download

[sick birch]

You were asking about the difference between client.command(), bot.command() and commands.command() right?

[hazy agate]

yes

andwhat r the modules to make a music bot

[sick birch]

Making a music bot violates YouTube's Terms of Service, and as such we can't really help with that here

[hazy agate]

idcabt yt cuz yt has taken down rythm and groovy

[sullen shoal]

we do

[sick birch]

Right, rhythm and groovy were taken down as they were found in violation of their terms of service. We can't really help you make a bot that violates their TOS

[cerulean osprey]

^

[sick birch]

looks as if someone has already linked it

[cerulean osprey]

You cant really expect them (not us bc idk a single thing abt music bots) to help with a bot that can potentially violate ToS

[sick birch]

We won't stop you from making a music bot (I personally discourage it), but you will have to find out how to do so by yourself

[sullen shoal]

small hint would be github

[sick birch]

Not potentially, it does violate their ToS

[cerulean osprey]

Not if they dont find out

Kidding

[sick birch]

👀

[cerulean osprey]

Partially

[hazy agate]

wut abt lavalink?

[full valley]

Hey why isnt this working. trying to make it so people can only send the commands in certain channels.

talk_channels = [892691480228020235]

@bot.command(pass_context=True, name="leave", aliases=["l"], description="Remove yourself from the queue")
async def leave(ctx):
    if ctx.channel.id in talk_channels:

But the bot just doesnt hear the command at all even from that channel given

[hazy agate]

join my testserver

[full valley]

I dont understand, it should be working

[hazy agate]

oh

join my server

[full valley]

stop advertising

[slate swan]

Bro read the rules

[hazy agate]

i have not sent in the chat tho

and

i have another own server

[slate swan]

Doesnt matter your asking people to join your server

[hazy agate]

and 1 for testing

[sick birch]

If you asked something along the lines of "How can I use Lavalink to play an mp3 file present on my machine through my bot on Discord", we would have no problem explaining that. But if you ask us how to play a YouTube video through it, we can't really help with that

[sick birch]

you may have left something out, there's nothing after the if statement though

[full valley]

There is I just didnt include it in the code

I know for a fact that the code after it works

[hazy agate]

bro

[sick birch]

also this is more suited task for on_message or a global check, so that you can use all commands in certain channels without doing the if statement in every command

[hazy agate]

can i make a music bot in java?

node.js

[slate swan]

@hazy agate
1.please stop asking for help with projects that break tos of some platforms as YouTube or discord
2.please stop advertising
3.read the rules

[sick birch]

You can, with JDA, but this is the Python server, not the Java server

[full valley]

hmm, how would I do that?

[slate swan]

when a user types the command, how do i make it delete after they sent it?

@client.command()
async def verify(ctx):
   if ctx.channel.id == 909671265864933406:
        fullaccessrole = get(ctx.guild.roles, id=909670961115201537)
        await ctx.author.add_roles(fullaccessrole)

[sick birch]

Node.JS is not Java, it is Javascript. There is a big difference.

[hazy agate]

srysyr

[sick birch]

If you wish to make a music bot using Java, look into JDA
If you wish to make a music bot using Javascript, look into Discord.JS

[hazy agate]

hey i want to make in o

py

not working

[sick birch]

call the delete() coroutine of a discord.Message object, which you can obtain through ctx.message

[hazy agate]

so irritated

[slate swan]

await ctx.delete()

[sick birch]

We won't help you make a music bot here. Period.

[slate swan]

oh okay ty

[slate swan]

Np

[sick birch]

no, it's await ctx.message.delete()

[slate swan]

^ @slate swan

Havent used the commmand in a whole

[sick birch]

That's alright, I can see where you're coming from as the context object has some methods typically associated with a message object

[slate swan]

Yeah

[slate swan]

ty 👍

[hazy agate]

even if i write bot.command()

it is telling wrong

[sick birch]

You'll have to be more clear than that

Provide code and full tracebacks for us to debug your code.

[hazy agate]

thena async def blank(ctx):

I suggest learning more about python and dpy

but doesn't work for mee

[sick birch]

Saying "it is telling wrong" helps nobody understand what's wrong

We need to be able to understand whats wrong in order to fix it

[hazy agate]

i will share screen

[slate swan]

sending ss is easier

[sick birch]

I'd prefer not, can you copy & paste the full traceback here?

[hazy agate]

?

[slate swan]

screen shot

[sick birch]

Either send a screenshot or copy and paste it

[shy schooner]

copy the traceback in ur terminal

[hazy agate]

no

[hazy agate]

i dont understand your words

can u dm

or

[sick birch]

Copy the full error, and paste it here

[hazy agate]

ok

[shy schooner]

i dont like to dm

[sick birch]

Or take a picture of it, whichever you find easiest

[slate swan]

Your making stuff more complicated that it needs to be

[full valley]

Would I delete the message if its not in that channel or how would I ignore it with an on_message event

[sick birch]

You want to delete the message that invoked the command, correct?

[sick birch]

Right, no need to dm or screenshare, just send a picture of the error

[full valley]

No I'm just trying to make the commands only work in specific channels

[shy schooner]

check ctx.channel

[sick birch]

Right, you can implement a global check (preferable) or use on_message (works but is kind of meh)

[slate swan]

would this be right? im trying to make it delete every message a user sends in that channel

@client.command()
async def verify(ctx):
   if ctx.channel.id == 909671265864933406:
        fullaccessrole = get(ctx.guild.roles, id=909670961115201537)
        await ctx.author.add_roles(fullaccessrole)
        await ctx.message.delete()```

[boreal ravine]

bro try it and see

[boreal ravine]

an if statement

[slate swan]

A global check is a check in all commands correct?

[sick birch]

ctx.message refers to the message that invoked the command, so it would delete the message that triggered the command, if that's what you want.

[sick birch]

Correct.

[full valley]

I have but I was suggested otherwise

[slate swan]

Thank you

[full valley]

Would you mind telling me how id do a global check?

[hazy agate]

bro its confusing

wat is this

[boreal ravine]

Ur choice but my way you could create a list and put all the IDs in there and then u could check where the command was invoked

[hazy agate]

code:

import discord
from discord.client import Client
from discord.ext import client

def new_func():
client = Client.Bot(command_prefix = "!")

[full valley]

thats what Ive already done

[boreal ravine]

client.Bot is not a thing

[full valley]

@boreal ravine

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=bot#discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[boreal ravine]

whats the issue then

[full valley]

Its not working

[sick birch]

@bot.check
def check_commands(ctx):
    return ctx.command.qualified_name in allowed_commands

From the raw docs

[slate swan]

You dont have to make a function for a var????and no need for so much imports

[boreal ravine]

it isnt async?

[sick birch]

apparently not

[boreal ravine]

🤔

[sick birch]

Though the documentation specifies it can be either

[boreal ravine]

Ah ok then

[sick birch]

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

I assume calculating a boolean value would be sub-millisecond, so making it asynchronous is like bringing a gun to a knife fight.

[slate swan]

@hazy agate i recommend you learn some of these things:
https://pythondiscord.com/resources
https://vcokltfre.dev/

[slate swan]

Too op

[slate swan]

OHH wait not really, basically what im trying to do is make the bot delete every message including the command, but if they type the command correctly it gives them access to the rest of the server

[sick birch]

Sort of like a verify command?

[slate swan]

yes

[boreal ravine]

so whats the issue then

you havent given any errors

[sick birch]

Oh I see, then you can just delete all the messages in that channel after the user invokes the commmand

[full valley]

so If I do

@bot.check
def check_commands(ctx):
    return ctx.command.channel.id in allowed_channels
``` would that check if all commands are in the right channels?

[sick birch]

given allowed_channels is a list of integer IDs, yes

[full valley]

gotcha

[cerulean osprey]

Is it possible to count the amount of roles someone has and use it?

[sick birch]

Though I'd probably rename the function to something more fitting

[sick birch]

len(member.roles)

[slate swan]

so uh await message.delete()..?

[cerulean osprey]

So if I were to do x = len(member.roles) I could use x as the count?

[sick birch]

that would delete only the message that triggered the command, you'd be looking for something like channel.purge() to delete all the messages in that channel

That is correct.

[cerulean osprey]

Thank you

[sick birch]

My pleasure

[slate swan]

You work at chickfila now?

[sick birch]

😂

[slate swan]

He could do a purge with a limit so if the bot always will send a amount of messages and the user as well you get the total of all the messages that will be sent when the command is invoked and you just delete the amount

[full valley]

I'm losing hope this still isnt working

[sick birch]

What do you mean by "it isn't working"

We'd need to see your code, what you expect, it's current behaviour, full traceback if applicable

[boreal ravine]

a chance that something is blocking it from running

[cerulean osprey]

Sorry for basic question again but would msg.channel.id work for getting ID of the channel the message was sent in? Assuming msg = message.content

[sick birch]

Theoretically, yes, but if the bot clears the messages in the channel every time the command is run, then it shouldn't have any messages there in the first place.

[sick birch]

No, assuming msg = message

[slate swan]

message.channel.id would do the job

[cerulean osprey]

thank you

[slate swan]

Good point🤷‍♂️

[sick birch]

Purging some arbitrary small number such as 10 should suffice

[full valley]

https://pastebin.com/66h0UrDS

[sick birch]

Is there a traceback with that?

[full valley]

there was no errors

[slate swan]

Ig so

[sick birch]

Just a side note, you don't have to pass in the pass_context and name kwargs, if the name and the name of the function are the same

[sick birch]

Then what's the problem?

[full valley]

that the bot isnt picking up when I type a command in the allowed_channels

[sick birch]

Which command is it not picking up? All of them or just some?

Perhaps because it's ctx.command.channel.id rather than ctx.message.channel.id

[full valley]

all

side note, discord bot takes 5 years to go offline ffs

[maiden fable]

No

[sick birch]

You don't have to wait for it to go offline

[maiden fable]

It takes only 1 second. It's Discord API issue which shows the bot online

[full valley]

oh what

[maiden fable]

Try running commands after u stop the code

[sick birch]

Just turn it off and back on server-side, changes take effect

[maiden fable]

It won't work haha

[sick birch]

^

I've had it glitch out where my bot was online overnight, even though my server was completely unplugged haha

[maiden fable]

Haha

[cerulean osprey]

Its me again. So I wanted to create a command that bans someone if they type in a certain channel, then instantly unbans them, like Dyno's ?softban.. just automated.

if message.channel.id == 909685766244945921:
        zxc = message.author.id
        await message.author.ban(reason = 'You typed in the kick channel!')
        await message.guild.unban(zxc)

Would something like this work?

[maiden fable]

Sure

BTW

!d discord.on_typing is also there in case u wanna ban as soon as the person starts typing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_typing

discord.on_typing(channel, user, when)```
Called when someone begins typing a message.

The `channel` parameter can be a [`abc.Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") instance. Which could either be [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel"), [`GroupChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.GroupChannel "discord.GroupChannel"), or [`DMChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.DMChannel "discord.DMChannel").

If the `channel` is a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") then the `user` parameter is a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member"), otherwise it is a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

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

[cerulean osprey]

Damn nah I dont wanna be that strict, just as long as that works

[maiden fable]

It should work

[sick birch]

It would work

[maiden fable]

It will work

Wait no

[slate swan]

😭

[full valley]

great, now my mongodb "certificate verify failed"

[maiden fable]

U gotta do message.guild.unban(discord.Object(zxc))

Won't work with ID, u gotta convert to a discord Object

[sick birch]

Right, unban takes a snowflake

Always something 😂

[slate swan]

May i ask what is a snowflake my good sir?

[sick birch]

It's how Twitter makes IDs, each ID is unique

hence the name snowflake

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

I see thank you

[cerulean osprey]

Alright so now, if I wanted it to only kick people with no roles..

if message.channel.id == 909685766244945921:
        plop = len(message.author.roles)
        if plop == 0:
            zxc = message.author.id
            await message.author.ban(reason = 'You typed in the kick channel!')
            await message.guild.unban(discord.Object(zxc))

would this do?

[sick birch]

Discord takes some things from twitter, for example the emojis are from twitter, so are the IDs

[slate swan]

Makes sense 😭

[sick birch]

you could probably condense that and remove the plop variable

same with the zxc variable

[cerulean osprey]

So..

if message.channel.id == 909685766244945921:
        if len(message.author.roles) == 0:
            zxc = message.author.id
            await message.author.ban(reason = 'You typed in the kick channel!')
            await message.guild.unban(discord.Object(zxc))

Then how would I get rid of zxc

[maiden fable]

await message.guild.unban(discord.Object(message.author.id))

[sick birch]

just substitute message.author.id into where zxc is within the discord.Object()

For me, the rule of thumb is to never make variables that are only used once

[maiden fable]

True same

As long as the line doesn't become big asf

[cerulean osprey]

o yeah I was thinking of something but it actually made sense lol. I thought that as soon as you ban the bot would throw the ID out 😭 but yeah it makes sense now, thank you

[sick birch]

PEP 8 of course

[maiden fable]

Nah

[sick birch]

IIRC it was 80 columns per line? Give or take 10

[maiden fable]

Yea it's 80

I have manually set it to 120 cz I had 10 errors in my file all due to line lengths and, well, all those lines had list comps 😐

[sick birch]

The bot takes a snowflake for unbanning rather than a member or user object, as if the member is banned, the bot can't actually "see" the user, so it takes an ID instead

[cerulean osprey]

Makes sense, so the code isnt working

[maiden fable]

Not always haha. What if the user has more than one mutual guilds?

[maiden fable]

Any error?

[cerulean osprey]

Nah

[slate swan]

plz help whats the problem here?

[sick birch]

That's fair

[cerulean osprey]

Just isnt working

[maiden fable]

U tryna ban yourself? You can't ban the owner

[cerulean osprey]

Nah Im on an alt

Has no roles

[sick birch]

Regen your token

[maiden fable]

Try removing the blank line

[slate swan]

ok

[cerulean osprey]

[slate swan]

ok

[cerulean osprey]

Token

[hazy agate]

no!

dont share token guys

[cerulean osprey]

[slate swan]

Question if a user gets ban in a guild by a bot if the user shares a guild which the bot is in will the bot ban him in all or just the guild the command got invoked?

[sick birch]

Just the guild

[cerulean osprey]

Id asume just the guild, but Im not sure

[slate swan]

I see thank you

[sick birch]

You have 2 methods of banning a member:

• Using a member object (member.ban())
• Using a guild object (guild.ban(member))
  Both methods tie to a singular guild, so no matter which method you use it will only ban within the guild

[cerulean osprey]

Now time to shamelessly change topics.. any idea why my bot is ignoring the on message now?

[slate swan]

Ok thanks

[slate swan]

And a third method

[sick birch]

How is it ignoring the on_message? Have you tried putting a print statement at the top of the on_message?

[cerulean osprey]

Well its not ignoring the on_message so much as its ignoring the

if message.channel.id == 909685766244945921:
        if len(message.author.roles) == 0:
            await message.author.ban(reason = 'You typed in the kick channel!')
            await message.guild.unban(discord.Object(message.author.id))

[sick birch]

which part is it ignoring?

The first if or the 2nd one?

[cerulean osprey]

All of it, it wont do anything

No error messages, nothing

[hazy agate]

bro i really want to make music bot

[sick birch]

Try a print in both the top-level if and the nested if

[cerulean osprey]

Alright

[sick birch]

It'll help diagnose which if statement is not working

[sick birch]

As the others and I have said before, we won't help with music bots. Period.

[slate swan]

We can help for music bots

[cerulean osprey]

Ok its ignoring the second part

[sick birch]

Given it doesn't use YouTube videos

[slate swan]

Not all music bots are directly streaming from YouTube or other services

[sick birch]

Sorry, should've been more clear about that haha

[slate swan]

But to come back to this, there's also

bot.http.ban(user_id, guild_id, days_delete)

[sick birch]

That reminds me

the @.everyone role counts as a role

[hazy agate]

then help me make it

[cerulean osprey]

o

[sick birch]

Check if they have 1 role, rather than 0

[cerulean osprey]

So, thats why

[sick birch]

This takes the guild_id, which also ties to a singular guild, so in all 3 situations the user can only be banned from one singular guild

[cerulean osprey]

Error message

Oh it doesnt have permission

[sick birch]

That's progress

[heavy folio]

how do i use find_one_and_delete in mongodb?
so its an unblacklist command and i wanna erase the user's id along with the blacklist reason from the db (its in one document tho)

[cerulean osprey]

Ig the bot needs permission to ban people

[sick birch]

Who would've guessed

[slate swan]

Yes, but you've said

You have 2 methods of banning a member
which is not really accurate

[hazy agate]

what is this!?

[sick birch]

Yeah, more like 2 commonly used methods hehe

[slate swan]

Can be used to hackban

[hazy agate]

Sheeeesh

[slate swan]

You have intents right?

[slate swan]

Look, if I don't answer it means I've never done a music bot, so please stop. I just say we can help for music bots not playing music from YouTube, that's it.

[cerulean osprey]

Wym?

[hazy agate]

ok not from yt

[slate swan]

Like does your bot have intents

[hazy agate]

but can i make from lavalink?

[cerulean osprey]

Also 2fa is required for mod actions on this server so is there a way to get around that?

[slate swan]

Lavalink streams from YouTube

[heavy folio]

once again ^^^^^^^^^^

[sick birch]

Not sure if lavalink allows playing music from mp3

[slate swan]

Not for bots

[cerulean osprey]

[sick birch]

Bots should be exempt from that

We did already

[slate swan]

You already got told

[sick birch]

Remove your token, get rid of the space

[slate swan]

Remove the line

[slate swan]

I did

[sick birch]

Clearly not

[slate swan]

everything

And regenerate your token now

[heavy folio]

read the error

[slate swan]

ok

[cerulean osprey]

Ignoring exception in on_message

Its yelling at me

[slate swan]

trying agaon

[sick birch]

Hmm?

That's uh quite strange

[cerulean osprey]

[hazy agate]

!ban @hazy agate

[heavy folio]

means the server doesnt have 2fa enabled

[sick birch]

Perhaps you need 2FA enabled on your account?

[heavy folio]

no

[slate swan]

Remove this line, and hide your token next time. Now delete your screenshot and regenerate a new token

[cerulean osprey]

I have 2fa enabled on my account, do I need it for the account the bot was made on?

[slate swan]

ok

[sick birch]

Bots can't really use 2FA

[sick birch]

That would explain it

[cerulean osprey]

Understandable

[heavy folio]

^^^^^^^

[sick birch]

You may have better luck asking in #databases

[slate swan]

Or take a look at the library documentation you're using

[cerulean osprey]

It worked

Thank you all

[sick birch]

Awesome!

[slate swan]

@slate swan bro same error again I regenerated the token

[hazy agate]

see

[slate swan]

You didn't created the client variable

And you're using @commands.command which is for cogs

So only use @client.command and create the client variable

[slate swan]

Does another command work?

[slate swan]

yes ping command works

Well, indent the ping command correctly first

[slate swan]

u dm me once

[slate swan]

And btw lock the command for people who have admin perms

[slate swan]

😭

@slate swan what to do?

Indent it correctly

ok

!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

[slate swan]

And this white bullet shows you haven't saved the file

Suggest turning on auto-save

Or be like me and spam ctrl+s every second

[slate swan]

Im always saving i never trust it its a fear😭

I get paranoid

[shadow wraith]

same im now used to command+s (ctrl+s for u windows ppl)

[slate swan]

I do it manually cause im weird

[shadow wraith]

... WHAT THE FU-

[slate swan]

[shadow wraith]

if you'd rather have no syntax highliting over code completion, WHAT THE FU-

[slate swan]

🤷‍♂️

My favorite shortcuts are Ctrl+S and Ctrl+Alt+L

[slate swan]

We all know you love ctrl c and ctrl v😉

Indeed

Who doesnt 🤷‍♂️

But unlike others, when I copy some code because mine triggers me, I fix it and make so that it works in my project

Others just copy paste and then they're like "Why doesn't it work?"

Yeah

[slate swan]

Same

I understand all code i copy i just dont like doing long commands so i just copy them and fix them for my code 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

Me rn:

Back to topic please

@slate swan sorry for the ping but what's the difference between a corountine and a function and are they the same thing?

They do the same, but are used in different context

Basically in short words, a coroutine runs in background

So doesn't stop your entire program from running

Ah i see

If you call 2 functions one after the other, the second function will only be executed when the first is finished

So its a async function?

If you turn the first function in a coroutine, it will run in background and the second can run simultaneously

Basically yeah, just add async

Then there are different usages

Thank you for the explanation i just gotta get my terminology

You can do

asyncio.run(main())

considering main is a coroutine

I see🤔

And like

[slate swan]

Yeah ive done it before but never knew the real explanation or a good one

await echo("world")
echo("Hello")

gives some output like:

Hello
world
world
Hello
world
Hello
Hello
world
world
Hello

echo just prints 5 times the string from the argument

And as you can see both functions are running simultaneously

Without a coroutine it would just be 5 times world and 5 times Hello

Why 5 times?

That's what the function does

Prints 5 times the string

Hmmmm

Yeah lazy to copy the function code

Thank you bro 👍

Wait

Yeah nevermind

Should be both 2 different functions

Lmao

Yeah I don't understand Python anymore

[slate swan]

😭

You can only use await if it has async keyword

That's why I hate Python

Can't turn a function to a coroutine whenever you want

[slate swan]

Yeah

[slate swan]

😭

Sucks ig

That's why I don't do projects that needs to be asynchronous with Python

[slate swan]

Like

async def echo():
    print("coro")

asyncio.run(echo())
echo()

This is not possible

Second call will return error

It won't return error

it will

A RuntimeWarning

[slate swan]

Its 3:30am i cant anymore😭

Which won't execute the code in the function

Ah right, mb

[slate swan]

It will return a coro object no?

It'll just say it wasn't awaited

Oh that was- ah never mind

Ah

It's just pain

That's why I hate Python's asynchronous coding

[slate swan]

Sleep

[slate swan]

No need

so im trying to use a command in dms but i keep getting this error discord.ext.commands.errors.NoPrivateMessage: This command cannot be used in private messages.

You have a check on the command that prevents you from executing the command in private messages

You probably have something like @commands.guild_only()

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
 #permissions
async def role(ctx, user : discord.Member, *, role : discord.Role):

  if role in user.roles:
      await user.remove_roles(role) already has
      await ctx.send(f"Removed {role} from {user.mention}")
  else:
      await user.add_roles(role) 
      await ctx.send(f"Added {role} to {user.mention}") 

[boreal ravine]

DMs don't have "roles"

[slate swan]

You can't add roles from a private message

oh

[slate swan]

You need to get a member object from the guild, not a user object, and add roles to that

how would i do that

[full valley]

What’s the simplest way to give your bot a custom prefix function

[slate swan]

Get guild
Guild.get_member
Member.add_role
Iirc. I might be wrong

[slate swan]

Custom prefix function as in?
Like a command to change the prefix?

[full valley]

yeah

[grand shell]

    async def on_reaction_add(self, user, reaction):
        print("Normal Reaction")

hey guys. for some reason, this event is never called. 'on_raw_reaction_add' does though. Does anyone know why? thanks :))

[slate swan]

The message is not in the last 50 message cache or is too old
So the bot forgets the message but on_raw_reaction doesn't depend on age of message

[grand shell]

ahhh ok

[slate swan]

Just read the docs on those, pretty good stuff

[grand shell]

lemme test somethin

[grand shell]

yea i did i just didnt understand haha

[slate swan]

Well
How are you storing prefixes for guilds and using them

I haven't really worked with multiple server bots before, so I just:
On_command: change prefix
Write new prefix to db
Bot.prefix=new prefix

And while initiating I select it from the db

That is one way, I'm pretty sure there are better.

[full valley]

mongodb

[slate swan]

is it possible to use an image from my local pc instead of a URL in an embed?

[maiden fable]

Not 50 but okay

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

ah thanks , i figured out

:D

now new problem
How to attach an image from a url without an embed?

[boreal ravine]

u mean like sending a normal image?

[slate swan]

yessir

i have a url of that image

[boreal ravine]

ah

!d discord.File you gotta save the image in this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

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

Note

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

!d discord.TextChannel.send then send it using the file kwarg

[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**.

[full valley]

Hey can someone help me out with a custom prefix command.

Im using mongo db

I originally tried:

def get_prefix(bot, message):
    options = settings.find_one({"guild_id": message.guild.id})
    prefixes = options["prefix"]
    return prefixes

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=get_prefix)

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    guild = settings.find_one({"guild_id": guild.id})
    if guild is None:
        newguild = {"guild_id": guild.id, "prefix": "!", "game_id": 1, "qsize": 6}
        settings.insert_one(newguild)

@bot.command(pass_context=True, name="prefix", description="Change the bot prefix")
async def prefix(ctx, prefix):
    if ctx.channel.id in allowed_channels:
        options = settings.find_one({"guild_id": ctx.guild.id})
        settings.update_one({"guild_id": ctx.guild.id}, { "$set": { 'prefix': prefix } })
        embed = discord.Embed(description=f"The prefix has been update to {prefix}", color=0xE74C3C)
        embed.set_footer(text="CBell 6 Mans | Created by Heptix", icon_url="https://i.imgur.com/1utxX7d.png")
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

!d discord.Permissions.value

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions.value

The raw value. This value is a bit array field of a 53-bit integer representing the currently available permissions. You should query permissions via the properties rather than using this raw value.

[slate swan]

and you would use something like , guild.me.guild_permissions to get the discord.Permissiom object

[slate swan]

What problem do you face

[full valley]

Idk if I am doing anything right tbh

I just tried something

[slate swan]

Is settings variable your mongo client?

[full valley]

settings is my collection

cluster = MongoClient(
    "mongodb+srv://~")
database = cluster["6mans"]
pstats = database["stats"]
settings = database["settings"]

  File "D:\6Mans\Main\mainwithdict.py", line 15, in get_prefix
    prefixes = options["prefix"]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

[boreal ravine]

options

is none

[full valley]

so how would I fix that

[boreal ravine]

insert something

[full valley]

@boreal ravine I did that on guild join

Yeah already told that around 3 weeks earlier

[slate swan]

Yeah here

[slate swan]

Very useful ping by the way

[slate swan]

Ephemeral message, depending on the library you're using you can add a hidden=True kwarg or similar when sending the message.

I am using dpy 2

If you're using discord.py 2.0 it's ephemeral=True apparently

Thanks!

[strong kettle]

How can I wait for the member response and take an example, write your name, then write the member and say to him, write your age

[valid niche]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.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**...

nothing shows up

when i run it

[boreal ravine]

imagine copying code

anyways server doesnt exist

use guild instead

[slate swan]

And change

await ctx.add_roles(member, role)
to
await member.add_roles(role)

[ornate lichen]

oh

[slate swan]

And yeah, don't copy paste code

[ornate lichen]

it worked

thanks

[ornate lichen]

yeah i know

i just wanted to try it

[cinder horizon]

  meh = time.datetime.now() + time.timedelta(seconds=timed)
  meheh = meh.strf('%A %d %B %Y at %H:%M:%S %p')
  await ctx.send(meheh)

Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'datetime.datetime' object has no attribute 'strf'
```...wut do i do?

[slate swan]

Pretty sure it's strftime

[ornate lichen]

doesntwork tho

it only works in one server

[slate swan]

Because the role doesn't exist on the other

[cinder horizon]

wellllll yea...so wut do i change?

[slate swan]

Don't write strf but strftime........

[cinder horizon]

..aighty

[ornate lichen]

still doesnt

it doesnt work in my own server

only in my friends one

[slate swan]

Don't copy paste code anyways

[slate swan]

your bot does not have enough permissions

[gaunt ice]

oh

okk tysm

what perms does it need to do this

[slate swan]

your bot can't send a message in the channelAutomeme channel

[gaunt ice]

ohh

okk tysmm

[slate swan]

so you should make sure it has the send messages permission in the channel

[pallid harbor]

how can I get user display name from specified guild?

[slate swan]

nickname?

member.nickname

[gaunt ice]

YO TYSM IT WORKS

[slate swan]

you're welcome

[patent surge]

why my tasks.loop() does not works ?

[slate swan]

what's the error?

[gaunt ice]

it works

[slate swan]

"does not work" isn't helpful for anyone, send the error

[patent surge]

no error but doesn't loops the function

[slate swan]

send code

[gaunt ice]

did u import discord.ext tasks

[slate swan]

he said no error

[gaunt ice]

hmm

[slate swan]

have you started the loop?

[patent surge]

Yes

[gaunt ice]

ok

[slate swan]

(loop).start()

[patent surge]

yes got it

[pallid harbor]

where should I get member?

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.Member.nick

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.nick

The guild specific nickname of the user.

[slate swan]

“The 10 minute cooldown for changing avatars was brought in to stop people from abusing the avatar function using scripts to create a free 'animated' avatar.
Just as side note @patent surge

[dapper cobalt]

It's nick and not nickname.

[slate swan]

discord.utils.get(guild.members, name=member_name)

[pallid harbor]

Can I get user's nickname with that if I have their id?

[slate swan]

yes

just put id in place of name

discord.utils.get(guild.members, id=member_id)

[patent surge]

ok i will use 5 minutes change avatar

[slate swan]

10*

[slate swan]

another way would be guild.get_member()

!d discord.Guild.get_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_member

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

[patent surge]

Oof

[pallid harbor]

returns None :(

[slate swan]

is the ID correct?

[sage otter]

Not in the guild then.

[pallid harbor]

sure

[slate swan]

why are you getting it twice

id is already a member object

[patent surge]

await client.user.edit(avatar=next(pfp))

gives error

[slate swan]

what error

[patent surge]

Unhandled exception in internal background task...

[slate swan]

full backtrace

[pallid harbor]

I thought I can get nickname through it

[slate swan]

you get nick using member_object.nick

[pallid harbor]

I decided to use this but still None

you're trying to print a member object

whereas you need a nickname

[gaunt ice]

thats it?

Do you mind showing what your code is really quick. Id like to see the intentions just to make sure there’s no redundancy.

It’s a good thing I asked. Because this is just awful.

[slate swan]

Is there any difference between Client and Bot? @dapper cobalt

[patent surge]

Yes ||no||

If you want the message authors nickname. Literally just do
message.author.nick

[slate swan]

Yes

[dapper cobalt]

Yes.

[slate swan]

[pallid harbor]

I need to get nickname from specified guild

[slate swan]

Here they are

[slate swan]

[dapper cobalt]

It failed to do what's inside the try statement, therefore ch is undefined.

[pallid harbor]

Still having that issue

[slate swan]

you can use the datetime library. I would recommend sleeping asynchronously after the user is muted and unmuting them after the sleep period is over

[rare saddle]

Something like that?

[gaunt ice]

asyncio.sleep(we can only keep seconds?)

[slate swan]

yes

[gaunt ice]

ah

[slate swan]

use 60*60 for minutes

e.g

asyncio.sleep(60*60) # sleeps for 60 mins

Guyzzzz How to False add reaction ?

[gaunt ice]

okk

[dapper cobalt]

You mean remove a reaction?

[slate swan]

example tikcet tool

[slate swan]

yes

members cant add reaction ticket tool

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.Message.remove_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.remove\_reaction

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

Remove a reaction by the member from the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

If the reaction is not your own (i.e. `member` parameter is not you) then the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission is needed.

The `member` parameter must represent a member and meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

I don't think you can add to a datetime object?

if i want to send to a specific channel shouldn't

channel = bot.get_channel(810282417850941440)
await channel.send(text)

work?

[sage otter]

Honestly I’m not too fond of sleeping commands for reasons like that. Completely halts the full execution of the functions which isn’t that nice. Consider loop.call_later() or something

[slate swan]

that's why I suggested asyncio.sleep

[rare saddle]

I want to make it possible to stir up for a few hours, days, weeks, and if the bot is rebooted, then the mut will not be removed at the end

[gaunt ice]

yes

[slate swan]

asyncio.sleep doesn't block

[sage otter]

I’m not saying it blocks but it doesn’t allow the full execution of the command

[boreal ravine]

i is none

[slate swan]

you'll have to store the unmute timestamp somewhere

[gaunt ice]

'i' must be a channel id

[slate swan]

i added a check

[boreal ravine]

whatt does it print

[gaunt ice]

hmm what shud it do , tell that and i will telll u

[rare saddle]

Yes, I am using a database, mongodb

[slate swan]

it print's the correct number

[boreal ravine]

i is not a channel id

[slate swan]

it is, just double checked

[sage otter]

Plus If you don’t use sleep you don’t have to worry about converting your time to seconds. You can do all the unmuting and time handling into some function that you can pass into call_later()

[rare saddle]

@slate swan

[gaunt ice]

i suppose u wont ur bot to spam messages on that specific channel?

[slate swan]

nope

[boreal ravine]

whats x

[gaunt ice]

ye

[pallid harbor]

what does it mean? I don't quite understand what you want to say

[gaunt ice]

ohhh u mean it shud send text in random channels?

[slate swan]

my 3channels on MY discord server (i'm giving a notification to multiple channels with different people on them)

[gaunt ice]

ohh

[sage otter]

Bruh. What’s the point of casting. Just remove the quotes off the ids in that list.

[gaunt ice]

u can do
await channel1.send()
await channel2.send()
await channel3.send()

[slate swan]

the channels will change over time

[slate swan]

or just loop through the channels

[gaunt ice]

hmm

[sage otter]

Ok so what does that have to do with you not removing the quotes 🤔

[slate swan]

the id that you pass on to bot.get_channel must be an integer

[slate swan]

the fuck, it started to work after that

thanks iguess?

[boreal ravine]

Well

you did cast i in some random place
