member.roles returns a list of roles

!d discord.Member.roles

[full valley]

oh

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles: List[Role]```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[dusk pumice]

Tnx

🙂

[full valley]

@near sail Do you know where I can find documentation on buttons

[near sail]

Buttons are on discord.py 2.0

[full valley]

Yeah

[near sail]

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

[full valley]

Yeah well I was on there

[near sail]

!d discord.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

[spice yoke]

Now that discord.py is gone, which Discord API wrapper should I use in Python?

[summer flume]

what do u mean by gone?

[slate swan]

It's not gone, you can still use it perfectly fine

It just won't get updates for new features

And there are multiple forks or completely different libraries available I guess, I wouldn't recommend to use a fork though.

[summer flume]

😦

[boreal ravine]

disnake 😎

[dusky pine]

hello everyone, does anyone know a good maintained fork of discord.py?

oh nevermind

someone else asked

[placid skiff]

How i can easily check if a text channel given by input from a command is a text channel?

[spring verge]

I wanted to ask if anyone is interested to learn hikari-lightbulb together..this way we can solve each other's doubts and learn more about developing discord bots...

[shadow wraith]

i just figured out how to make a slash command using the discord_slash module

dm me if you need a basic slash command example

will stop answering within like 5 mins

[placid skiff]

someone?

[tawdry perch]

You can just share it here, right...?

[shadow wraith]

genius alr

steps to make a dumba freaking slash commands

1. go to discord.com/developers go to your bot go to oauth2 kick your bot from the server and then in the bot scopes select bot and application.commands and then reauthorize it back into the server
2. do pip3 install discord_slash or pip install discord_slash

3. go into your bot code and slap import discord_slash and from discord_slash import SlashCommand

[slate swan]

pin this

[slate swan]

hikari

[placid skiff]

uhm you know that there are a fork named disnake which is not related to discord.py and let you create slash commands, right?

[shadow wraith]

well i use discord's py module mainly

[spring verge]

hikari

[slate swan]

isinstance(channel_arg,guild.TextChannel)

returns a boolean

[tawdry perch]

Ikr

[spring verge]

btw is it ok If I post this message once in an hour or it will count as spam 🤔

[spice yoke]

why Hikari?

[shadow wraith]

4. go for a cycle and do @slash.slash(name='name', description='description here')
   below that piece of sh- do async def name(ctx):
   below that crap indent your damn code and then just do await ctx.send('your mom')

[slate swan]

it's maintained and easy to learn

[spice yoke]

I think Nextcord looks nice

[slate swan]

is that a fork?

[spice yoke]

yep a discord.py fork

[spring verge]

plus it has framework 'lightbulb' which is very similar to discord.py

[slate swan]

I'd recommend not using forks

Hikari is better because it's a separate library

and not a d.py fork

[shadow wraith]

ye thats the steps you need to make a slash command

[spring verge]

tbh lightbulb v2 is very similar to it syntax wise

[shadow wraith]

if its similar who cares :trol:

[spice yoke]

Hikari looks nice, because of the static typing

[placid skiff]

thanks

[spice yoke]

you know what

nextcord is easier for me as i've made a discord.py bot before, but I think i'll jump right into hikari just for that static typing

[spring verge]

lol everyone has different opinion so np

[shadow wraith]

speaking of static typing, how in the world do you get a bot to do typing for how much time you want and then send the message

[spring verge]

but isnt depreciated
another big reason for u to switch?

[slate swan]

ctx.typing()

[shadow wraith]

ye but how to customize how much time til send

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def longCommand(ctx):
   async with ctx.typing():
        await sleep(10)
   await ctx.send("Done!")

just sleep

[shadow wraith]

freaking jenius

use time.sleep i see i see

@slate swan i got an error 💀

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 
'await' expression```
`

oh wait

i see whats wrong srry you dont use await i think

[placid skiff]

How to create a Task inside a cog?

[slate swan]

use asyncio.sleep() instead

[slate swan]

the command is gonna block all the other commands if you don't lol

[shadow wraith]

hmm what about time.sleep

[slate swan]

you can if it supports async

[slate swan]

bot.loop.create_task()?

[brittle jay]

Hi.
I'm making a discord bot, and I want to know if a bot has the higher role than a specified member.
I see something like discord.User.top_role but I don't know how to use it. Anyone can help? Thank you!

[boreal ravine]

get the member instance > use top_role attribute on it

[visual island]

you get the Member object then compare it like if guild.me.top_role > Member.top_role:

[boreal ravine]

why user tf

[visual island]

oops

[brittle jay]

Oh thanks

[boreal ravine]

dont come back and ask how to get the member object kthx

[rare saddle]

Guys, how to make the author the correct condition if the id is in this collection, well, there I use this check

[placid skiff]

guys I need to use a converter but i don't have a context, what can I do?

[slate swan]

you're using dpy 2.0 right?

[boreal ravine]

what/which converter

[rare saddle]

1.7.3

[boreal ravine]

why

do you need

[slate swan]

oh so you use discord-components for button , in the check right?

[rare saddle]

No, dislash

[placid skiff]

textChannel converter

btw i find another way

[slate swan]

yea so inter.author.id would be the thing

[placid skiff]

but I have now to send an img from an url

[slate swan]

its correct

[boreal ravine]

can u explain why u cant use it?

[placid skiff]

Converters requires a context object as first argument

i need the channel into a tasks loop

[boreal ravine]

Ah

[placid skiff]

so i don't have a context

[boreal ravine]

can't u just do ```py
async def ...(channel: discord.TextChannel):

[placid skiff]

nope, it is not a command, is a tasks loop

[slate swan]

you can make a custom context

[placid skiff]

that seems interesting

how?

[rare saddle]

I want to make a blacklist for the reporting system, using the command I add a person to the database collection and in this check I want to find out if the author's ID is in the database

[boreal ravine]

never said it was a command

[placid skiff]

By the way i have to send an image from a url (just a send message, not embed), how I do that?

[rare saddle]

But the check that does not work for me, for some reason it is not taken into account and allows me to create a report, although my ID is in the database

[boreal ravine]

just send the url

discord will embed it

[placid skiff]

i didn't wish to show the url :L

[slate swan]

ahh so , collmember.find_one returns a single user which may or may not be the user you want

maybe try getting all the members and use it

i dont use mongodb , so exactly dont remember it , its something like find_all if im not wrong

[arctic vapor]

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_member'
im getting this error, code is

  @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
       x = message.guild.get_member(118470023181369344) or await message.guild.fetch_member(118470023181369344)

        if x in message.mentions:
            em = discord.Embed(description  = f"{message.content}",color = discord.Color.blue())
            em.set_author(name=message.author, icon_url=message.author.avatar_url)
            em.set_footer(text= message.created_at)
            if message.attachments:
                em.set_image(url = message.attachments[0].url)
            await message.channel.send(embed = em)

i cant see what im missin

[slate swan]

well , it wont work in your case ig since it needs a message object already

[slate swan]

message.guild is None , aka the command was used in dms

[placid skiff]

well, i think I can find a way

Like save one message into the database from that guild id

[slate swan]

you just need a text channel object right?

[arctic vapor]

that's weird, the event isnt being triggered in dms

[slate swan]

well thats what the error says , i dont see any other reason for message.guild to be none

have your turned off guild intents?

[rare saddle]

I did like this, but it still doesn't work

[slate swan]

Either it's in dms where .guild is None, or you're missing intents

[placid skiff]

yup

[arctic vapor]

nope, all intents are on, but ye i removed the line where it sends a message to the user and its fine

thanks

[slate swan]

can you show what code do you have other than it

[slate swan]

which has to be same for all the time right?

[placid skiff]

it depends on the administrator of that server, they can change it, but it will be saved in the database by the way

[placid skiff]

So i don't need that the context is the same channel, i just need a context object

[slate swan]

you can get the channel from the database tho py async def your_task(): bot.get_channel(<the id you get from db>)

[placid skiff]

yes, but i get the id of the channel

which is not a channel object by itself

[slate swan]

never tried this thingy , lemme check the docs

[slate swan]

just use get_channel method

it will give u the channel object

[placid skiff]

lol can you send the docs?

[slate swan]

!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.

[placid skiff]

bruh hahaha

thanks

[slate swan]

basically , channel = bot.get_channel(id)

np

[sick talon]

how can I find the number of users connected in the voice channel

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.members

property members: List[Member]```
Returns all members that are currently inside this voice channel.

[boreal ravine]

hm

[slate swan]

use random.randint and some logic

!d random.randint

[unkempt canyon]

random.randint

random.randint(a, b)```
Return a random integer *N* such that `a <= N <= b`. Alias for `randrange(a, b+1)`.

[slate swan]

@rm.event
async def on_member_join(member):
        channel = rm.get_channel(910432929216344105)
        embed = i defined embed here
        await channel.send(embed=embed)```

it just won't send the welcome embed

no error printed

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[slate swan]

Enable the members intent

[slate swan]

I enabled it... And now I'm getting
Attribute error : 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

what's rm

is it your bot?

yea

in that case

either you gave a wrong ID

or the bot doesn't see the channel

in get_channel()

umm that id is valid and the bot can see the channel too

send the whole error then

in copy paste

with more traceback...

[steep estuary]

how i can get my total commands ?

[slate swan]

!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.

[steep estuary]

i use this

by len(bot.all_commands.keys())

but this also include aliases

[slate swan]

mhm

[steep estuary]

of commands i don't want them

[slate swan]

why all_

[slate swan]

wait

[steep estuary]

bot.commands ??

[slate swan]

yes

[steep estuary]

ok :/

[slate swan]

well what do you exactly want

just the name?

of the commands

or the description too?

[steep estuary]

no

my bot show this the len of commands but when i add aliases in any command it add that also in the length

[slate swan]

so why do you use .keys

[steep estuary]

ohk

let me try :/

[slate swan]

tho funny number

[steep estuary]

how to get any user's pings ?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.mentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.mentions

A list of Member that were mentioned. If the message is in a private message then the list will be of User instead. For messages that are not of type MessageType.default, this array can be used to aid in system messages. For more information, see system_content.

Warning

The order of the mentions list is not in any particular order so you should not rely on it. This is a Discord limitation, not one with the library.

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.mentioned_in

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mentioned\_in

mentioned_in(message)```
Checks if the member is mentioned in the specified message.

[steep estuary]

?

no

[maiden fable]

Then?

[steep estuary]

i mean pings means network

?ping

[maiden fable]

Not possible

You can't access someone's latency

[steep estuary]

but other bots show that

[maiden fable]

.....?

Can I see an example?

[steep estuary]

ok

[sage otter]

You serious right now?

[steep estuary]

idk what it show

[maiden fable]

😐

[sage otter]

That’s not your ping. Thats the bots ping.

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Client.latency

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.latency

property latency: float```
Measures latency between a HEARTBEAT and a HEARTBEAT\_ACK in seconds.

This could be referred to as the Discord WebSocket protocol latency.

[steep estuary]

but it shows different of each user

[steep estuary]

but it shows different

[maiden fable]

Smh

[sage otter]

Because ping won’t always be consistent

[steep estuary]

i also thought that

but when my friend did

it was showing something near 1000

[maiden fable]

Hmm

[steep estuary]

:/

[maiden fable]

It's totally a discord thing

Not a user latency

[steep estuary]

ok

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Client.latency is what they use

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.latency

property latency: float```
Measures latency between a HEARTBEAT and a HEARTBEAT\_ACK in seconds.

This could be referred to as the Discord WebSocket protocol latency.

[dusk pumice]

How can I get role ids?

I need to get role ids that user have

Anyone?

[sage otter]

[r.id for r in Member.roles]

List comprehension is beautiful isn’t it.

[dusk pumice]

Agree 🙂

Thank you.

[slate swan]

how can i make my page system ignore previous messages?

            pages = 2
            cur_page = 1
#embed stuff
            message = await ctx.send(embed=emb)

            await message.add_reaction("◀️")
            await message.add_reaction("▶️")

            def check(reaction, user):
                return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) in ["◀️", "▶️"]

            while True:
                try:
                    reaction, user = await self.bot.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=5 check=check)
                    if str(reaction.emoji) == "▶️" and cur_page != pages:
                        cur_page += 1
                        await message.edit(embed=embed1)
                        await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)

                    elif str(reaction.emoji) == "◀️" and cur_page > 1:
                        cur_page -= 1
                        await message.edit(embed=emb)
                        await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)

                    else:
                        await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)

                except:
                    pass```

[maiden fable]

And fast too hehe

[dusk pumice]

XD

[maiden fable]

Use timeout in wait_for

[slate swan]

yeah i did that

ill test

[slate swan]

same story

[maiden fable]

Code

[slate swan]

updated the timeout part too before hand

[maiden fable]

Weird

[slate swan]

ima restart the bot and try agian

yep, same thing @maiden fable

[brittle ingot]

still happening?

[maiden fable]

Wait, it will update the time out everytime u react

[brittle ingot]

i think it has to do with the curpage portion of each if/elif. Whenever i did wait_for's with reactions that was always my issue :/ idk why

[slate swan]

so what do you recommend

[maiden fable]

About What

[slate swan]

what should i do instead

or shall i just lower the timeout

[maiden fable]

You really can't do anything...

[maiden fable]

Sure. But that will also update the time out whenever the person reacts

[brittle ingot]

@bot.command()
async def myMenu(ctx):
    totalPages = 2
    curpage = 1

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Number 1")
    emb = discord.Embed(title="Number 2")
    
    msg = await ctx.send(embed = embed)
    emojis = ["emoji1", "emoji2"]
    for emoji in emojis:
        await msg.add_reaction(emoji)

    def check(reaction, user):
        return user !== user.bot and reaction.message.id == msg.id and str(reaction.emoji) in emojis

    while True:
        try:
            reaction, user = await self.bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check = check, timeout = 60)

        if str(reaction.emoji) == "emoji1":
            if curpage > totalPages:
                await msg.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
            elif curpage < totalPages:
                await msg.edit(embed = emb)
                await msg.remove_reaction(reaction, user)
                curpage += 1

............ etc

is how i did it.

[boreal ravine]

not related but use buttons, they're easier to use imo

[brittle ingot]

you still need to use a wait for. i mean they look cleaner, idk about easier though. I also haven't used them since discord_components first came out

[maiden fable]

No except block

[brittle ingot]

i didn't finish it. Just a starter to explain how i handled the curpage portion

[maiden fable]

Ah, okay

[sage otter]

Is he like asking to ignore previous paginators?

[maiden fable]

Better is to subclass View

[maiden fable]

Ye

[boreal ravine]

I mean using a fork, converting to a dpy fork isn't all that hard.

[boreal ravine]

the disnake way 😎

[sage otter]

Does he ever break out of his while loop.

[maiden fable]

Yessssss

[brittle ingot]

||I haven't used dpy or anything python since danny discontinued||

[boreal ravine]

||lmao||

[brittle ingot]

well that's not totally true. I do maintenance on existing bots.

[boreal ravine]

I personally started using dpy in june/july when my school had a 2 month break 😎

[brittle ingot]

nice.

[sage otter]

Yeah is it just me or like. Do you ever break out of your while loop. Whatever commands are using that paginator are probably not even executing all the way through because you're in a constant while loop waiting for reactions.

[brittle ingot]

idk how to explain why you put it in a while loop (just woke up here) but its what you are supposed to do...

[sage otter]

Yeah but he never breaks out of.

That’s why time outs aren’t working

[brittle ingot]

ahh

[sage otter]

It will continue the bot.wait_for()

Over and over and over

[brittle ingot]

so should add a break in the asyncio.timeout portion of the except?

[sage otter]

Honestly

Id just add like an ❌ reaction to the message and when they click that it breaks out

[brittle ingot]

yeah that is what i would usually do and have it delete the message before breaking.

[sage otter]

Mhm

[dusk pumice]

How to ping roles that user have?

Does anyone knows it

please...

[sage otter]

Consider

!d discord.Role.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.mention

property mention: str```
Returns a string that allows you to mention a role.

[dusk pumice]

...

Notthat

[brittle ingot]

you access the members roles with member.roles and iterate through that and run role.mention on it to get the "ping"

so yes, yes that

[dusk pumice]

Hmm

[sage otter]

[r.mention for r in Member.roles]

[dusk pumice]

I want like this

[sage otter]

And join that somewhere ig

[brittle ingot]

this would be what you want then, and just run .join on that list

[boreal ravine]

mention == ping

😌

[flint isle]

I am needing code to copy a image from a message

[slate swan]

We don't code for you

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message.

[slate swan]

Contains the list of images in a message

[flint isle]

Ok thanks I will look at that

[flint isle]

Can I get an example of the code?

[slate swan]

print(ctx.message.attachments)

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Returns a list of all images

Then use a loop to get each image individually (basic Python loop)

so

we added reaction pages on shop

[dusk pumice]

I know that

[slate swan]

but when u react any message

it changes to shop

heres the code : https://onesaw-is-in.cat-fan.club/1つののこぎりは大きなプロです/​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​

gonna wait ig

[boreal ravine]

not recommended to use on_reaction_add for paginators

or whatever ur doing

!d discord.Client.wait_for usr this

[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**...

[slate swan]

@normal folio heres the answer

[tawdry perch]

!paste instead of sending a picture

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[slate swan]

ok

[normal folio]

u fix

[slate swan]

this happens everytime u do !startbattle

its a command to dm people

[slate swan]

no men

[normal folio]

men i asked u to help not just sit

[sage otter]

Because it’s asyncio.TimeoutError

[flint isle]

How can I get it to attach the attachment to the mesaage?

[sage otter]

Caps matter

[slate swan]

do i get hid of it or max it out

anyone here use discordrb?

[full valley]

Anyone know how to use discord buttons as commands?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.attachments

How to stop local ratelimits?

???

[flint isle]

Can I get a line if example code?

[sage otter]

No I’m telling you to go to line 114 in main and fix your caps

[slate swan]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[slate swan]

Use the f-strings

[maiden fable]

.....?

[slate swan]

He's sending "ctx.message.attachments" instead of using f-strings correctly

[slate swan]

the discord api wrapper for ruby

oh my bad

[maiden fable]

Lol

[slate swan]

LOL

forgot this is a py only server

How to stop local ratelimits?

[slate swan]

kk

[slate swan]

Why would you even ask it like that anyways

[flint isle]

I am using f strings

await ctx.send(f'ctx.message.attachments')```

[sage otter]

Tbh if that’s all he’s putting. He doesn’t even need to f string it. Just pass it in as is.

Pretty sure there’s automatic string casting.

[slate swan]

No you're not, f-strings requires variables to be in {} which you never did

[sage otter]

Add your curly brackets.

[slate swan]

how do i use that?

example plz

There is an example on the documentation

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

See by yourself

[sage otter]

Fair warning this probably isn’t gonna give you what you want. It’ll give you a list of reprs.

[slate swan]

It just gives a list of Attachment objects

Loop through it as I already said

And use the .url attribute to get the URL of the attachment

[sage otter]

Basically what I said. Doing that as is will give him the reprs of each attachment object.

[flint isle]

How can I extract just the url from that

[slate swan]

Just said above

[sage otter]

[i.url for i in Message.attachments]

[slate swan]

Make a loop and get the .url attribute

[full valley]

Finding it so hard to learn how to use buttons

all videos are just old packages for d.py 1.0

[slate swan]

plus it says this is not being used

thats what the green line mean

[flint isle]

That returns

How can I remove the square brackets and the single quote

[sage otter]

By joining it

!join

[unkempt canyon]

Joining Iterables

If you want to display a list (or some other iterable), you can write:

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
output = ""
separator = ", "
for color in colors:
    output += color + separator
print(output)
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow, '

However, the separator is still added to the last element, and it is relatively slow.

A better solution is to use str.join.

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
separator = ", "
print(separator.join(colors))
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow'

An important thing to note is that you can only str.join strings. For a list of ints,
you must convert each element to a string before joining.

integers = [1, 3, 6, 10, 15]
print(", ".join(str(e) for e in integers))
# Prints '1, 3, 6, 10, 15'

[flint isle]

My brain == null rn. I don't understand it. Could you send a sample?

[sage otter]

come on man, this is really really simple :/

[slate swan]

dont you see an example in the embed from bot?..

[boreal ravine]

@flint isle

[slate swan]

In case you can't filter what information you need to care about

[maiden fable]

!join is there tho

Idk if that's what u got the ss from, but who cares

[slate swan]

Exactly from the embed that got already sent and that you sent again for no reason

And as I said

In case you can't filter what information you need to care about

[full valley]

Anyone know how to create commands out of buttons, or where I can find info on buttons

kind of going crazy here

[flint isle]

!seperate

[slate swan]

you wanna break a string? use split

[flint isle]

!split

[slate swan]

wait ill show an example

!e py string = 'word1 word2 word3' print(string.split(' '))

[unkempt canyon]

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

['word1', 'word2', 'word3']

[ashen notch]

@slate swan So if you get the Role object you can quickly just grab a list of members with said role https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Role.members

[slate swan]

oh so i'd just append their ids to a list ?

[maiden fable]

Default is space but okay

[slate swan]

not sure what to exactly do

[ashen notch]

You're wanting to add the role to someone?

In that case there's a method to do that

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member.add_roles

[slate swan]

you know how some people leave the server and join back to avoid mutes, i'm trying to it so if they leave while they have the muted rule they'd get it back if they joined

[ashen notch]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Okay yeah, I getcha now

[slate swan]

[ashen notch]

So at least within @unkempt canyon

We end up storing those in a database, and check against it when people join

See if they had any relevant roles/infractions on them to reapply

[slate swan]

oh , wasnt aware about that

[ashen notch]

Sorry, I was lacking in the caffeine department

[slate swan]

i'm just trying to do it with one role and its not that big of a server , would a list be a good option ?

[slate swan]

its fine no worries

[ashen notch]

Sort of. The problem is that if the bot goes down, that list does too, so you'd need some sort of persistence

[slate swan]

oh right

maybe before the bot goes down it would store that list in a json ?

on_bot_disconnect or something

[ashen notch]

That's assuming it doesn't crash

[sage otter]

No….

You don’t use json for data storage

[ashen notch]

I'd recommend just using a little SQLite database

[slate swan]

ik how to use databases , but then whats the use of json ?

[sage otter]

States

[ashen notch]

JSON is for - yeah that

[slate swan]

states ?

[ashen notch]

It's typically for data transfer rather than storage

Like getting it back as a response from a web request

[slate swan]

i'll go with postgresql

[ashen notch]

If it's just for one server, that's a bit overkill

[slate swan]

why posgresql for a single role xd

yeah its only for one server

[ashen notch]

SQLite would be more than sufficient

[slate swan]

thats why i was intending to use a list

just use sqlite , aiosqlite if you want it to be asynchronus

[sage otter]

Then there’s no persistence

[slate swan]

idk how to use sqlite that much either , i've used mysql before

[ashen notch]

Essentially the same

[sage otter]

Cache is flushed every time the program is terminated

[slate swan]

oh fair , i'd go with mysql then

[ashen notch]

It just puts it in a single file rather than connection to a server

[slate swan]

they are almost same , bet

aiomysql

[sage otter]

don’t you need a server for mysql.

?

[ashen notch]

That's the main benefit of SQLite is that it's tiny and doesn't really require much setup at all

[sage otter]

^^^^

[slate swan]

fair

it uses the same sql query right ?

[ashen notch]

Yeah. I think the only difference might be how it handles adding variables to the query, but the core SQL itself is the same

[slate swan]

almost , other than ? instead of %s

[ashen notch]

That

[slate swan]

oh cool cool

[ashen notch]

Thanks, I couldn't remember

[slate swan]

also uh just for the record how to make a list inside an init method

def __init__(self, bot,muted_people=[],last_user=None):
        self.bot = bot
        self.last_user = last_user
        self.muted_people = muted_people
    ``` like wise ?

[ashen notch]

No, that's a bit of a beginner's trap

So if you do that, if you end up using the default value, it'll be the same list for each instance

Rather than a fresh one

[slate swan]

ohh

so making it a class attribute is a better idea

[ashen notch]

Yeah, if you need it consistent across all instances.

But if you're potentially passing in an existing list, then you'd need to do it that way

I think

Difference is.... one sec, writing example

def mah_function(my_list=None):
  if my_list is None:
    self.my_list = []
  else:
    self.my_list = my_list

I mean that's a clunky example, but you get the idea

[slate swan]

i apply the same logic to the init method ?

[ashen notch]

Yarp

Otherwise you end up with....

[slate swan]

thanks hemlock , i really appreciate it

[slate swan]

a new list for every instance

[ashen notch]

!e

def ham(number, spam=[]):
  spam.append(number)
  print(spam)

ham(5)
ham(6)

[unkempt canyon]

@ashen notch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | [5]
002 | [5, 6]

[slate swan]

oh that could be used aswell

smart

[ashen notch]

Could be, but it's really dirty

[slate swan]

yeah first one looks cleaner

[ashen notch]

And I think it's an implementation detail, so it shouldn't be relied on

[slate swan]

how do i use wait_for cuz i was trying to figure out

@bot.event
async def on_reaction_add(message, reaction, user):
    if message.content.startswith(',shop'):
      if user != bot.user:

        if str(reaction.emoji) == ':arrow_right:':
            em2 = discord.Embed(title = "Shop - Others", color = discord.Color.purple())
            await reaction.message.edit(embed=em2)

        if str(reaction.emoji) == ':arrow_left:':
            em = discord.Embed(title = "Shop - Tools", color = discord.Color.purple())
            await reaction.message.edit(embed=em))':thumbsup:')```

[slate swan]

oh fair , thanks hemlock appreciate it

[hazy canopy]

someone knows how to remove the help command that is on default in a discord bot?

[sage otter]

Bot.remove_command("help")

[hazy canopy]

ok thx

[ashen notch]

Ninja'd

[slate swan]

reaction takes only reaction and user as args

if you want the message you may use reaction.message

[ashen notch]

I think this example might help. Snagged it from the docs:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$thumb'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Send me that 👍 reaction, mate')

        def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'

        try:
            reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await channel.send('👎')
        else:
            await channel.send('👍')
``` https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

I think it's what you need?

Not 100% sure, though

@slate swan Just to make sure you're seeing this

[flint isle]

!e

Url = ['https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/798726720181633047/910540678247882822/20211117_092059.jpg']
Separator = "'"
Print(separator.join(colors))```

[slate swan]

nu nu , they are trying to do something when a reaction is added
If the reaction's message starts with ,shop they would proceed

[ashen notch]

Ah, my mistake

You could make it part of the check, couldn't you?

[slate swan]

yea , if they use wait_for
but they are using the event decorator

[flint isle]

!e

Url = ['https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/798726720181633047/910540678247882822/20211117_092059.jpg']
separator = "'"
print(separator.join(Url))```

[slate swan]

it would be the same since there is a single entry in the list , what are you really trying to do?

[ashen notch]

The example I listed is as well

[slate swan]

client.get_guild(672453244336734208)``` returns `None`

guild is not in the cache , the bot is not in the guild...

it is

if it is , make sure that you dont have your guild intents off ( its enabled by default tho)

    path = "./suggestions.json"
    amount_times = 1
    data = {}
    data[message.author.id]
    with open ("./suggestions.json","w") as file:
      json.dump(data, file, indent=4)```

may i see your intents

I'm trying to make it so everytime they send a message it opens the "suggestions" json file and adds another number to their ID in the json.

I'm still trying to learn, but basically I wanna do something like:

user_id: 1
user_id: 2

[slate swan]

I have discord.Intents.all()

can anyone help me with this?

[slate swan]

data[message.author.id] needs a value too , sir

I know a database is easier but still trying to learn.

[slate swan]

all intents enabled

[slate swan]

So data.[message.author.id] = []?

    path = "./suggestions.json"
    amount_times = 1
    data = {}
    data[message.author.id] = []
    with open ("./suggestions.json","w") as file:
      json.dump(data, file, indent=4)```

[slate swan]

and are you sure that the guild id is correct

[slate swan]

missing arguement

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

thnx

I don't get how to add a number then append it by one for the user

[normal folio]

How to make it work only on specific command ,shop

[slate swan]

yea but , why an empty list

[slate swan]

Wdum

[slate swan]

in your shop command , use wait_for

as the example hemlock sent

[normal folio]

where exactly?

[slate swan]

Wdum by empty list

[slate swan]

[]

[slate swan]

in your command function

what goes in it?

the value you want for the key?...

[normal folio]

@bot.event
async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user):
    if user != bot.user:
        if str(reaction.emoji) == "➡️":

            em2 = discord.Embed(title = "Shop - Others", color = discord.Color.purple())
            await reaction.message.edit(embed=em2)
        if str(reaction.emoji) == "⬅️":

            em = discord.Embed(title = "Shop - Tools", color = discord.Color.purple())
            await reaction.message.edit(embed=em)
``` also here is the code

[slate swan]

what does your shop command look like?

So whatever I put in it will go into the json?

ofcourse

I'm trying to dump this into json

user_id: <amount of times talked>

that's it

[normal folio]

can i send it in dms? cuz i don't want to flood this chat

[slate swan]

but idk how

[slate swan]

sure

[slate swan]

with open('the_json_file.json' , 'w') as file:
  data = {}
  data[str(message.author.id)] = #number of time the command was used
  json.dump(data , file)``` thats how json works

as for the how many times the user talked , you may keep on adding 1 to the value of data[str(message.author.id)] which would be a reading operation first , and then writing it

So what is data = {} doing?

And data[str(message.author.id] is turning the variable data into the users ID?

That makes sense, but then how do you format it how you want.

data = {} is declaring an empty dictionary to be dumped inside the json

how can i fix a missing argument error?

oh

[slate swan]

you provide an argument to fix it

But then how could you make the number not fixed?

[slate swan]

im new so idk much

[slate swan]

as i said , read the json , get the value , add 1 to it
dump the new value

[slate swan]

your code , and error pls

alr

I'm so confused..

[slate swan]

you need to typehint member to discord.Member

So I got it to dump my ID

and , mention someone when use the command

ohhh so i change it from member to discord.Member? alr

[slate swan]

nuuu it would be py async def gayrate(ctx , member : discord.Member):

alr alr

it works tysm

[slate swan]

wait ill send something to make json more clear

[slate swan]

Yeah I need to learn it from the ground up.

I think trying to do it this way won't work.

well , if you use sqlite3 , its much easier

So JSON is the old way?

But JSON is more useable when you don't wanna use a host.

[shy schooner]

mongodb is quite good, it's non-relational db

[shy schooner]

json is not meant to be a database

[slate swan]

No but you can use it as one lol

[slate swan]

https://pastebin.com/tZxkcd4p

[flint isle]

Oh I'm trying to take a output from

            await ctx.send(f'{ctx.message.attachments}')```
And remove the `['` and `']` so it's just the link

[slate swan]

i see , you can do "\n".join(ctx.message.attachements)

eh i see

you would have to iterate thru the attachments frst

list_urls = []
for atchm in ctx.message.attachments:
  list_urls.append(atchm.url)

await ctx.send( "\n".join(list_urls))

So

How do I check if the user is in the json?

if data[str(message.author.id)] not in list(data.keys()):```

Like this?

[flint isle]

Yes!! It worked

Now I have to find how to make the bot wait for a reaction on a message

@slate swan ^ would you happen to know how to do that?

[sage otter]

!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**...

[sage otter]

There’s a much faster and easier way to do this

List comprehension exist. And when he asked the same question earlier I already gave him the code he needed to join.

[normal folio]

doesn't respond to reactions

[sage otter]

He was literally just waiting for someone to spoonfeed him code on joining an iterable to a string even though we pulled up examples for him.

#discord-bots message

[dusk dust]

how to handle multiple reactions in this case?

    await form_recebido.add_reaction('🟩')
    await form_recebido.add_reaction('⬜')
    await form_recebido.add_reaction('🟥')

    def react1(reaction, user):

    await autor.send('to analyze')
    await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check=react3)
    await autor.send('denied')

[slate swan]

do one wait_for

the check should pass when the reaction is any of those

then you can check which reaction it was with if statements

[dusk dust]

and, would the "if" look like this?

if reaction.emoji == '🟩':
        await autor.send('accepted')

[slate swan]

exactly

wait

you forgot to convert the emoji

str()

How do I check if a user has a role outside of cogs? It's in on_message

[patent surge]

!dclient

[slate swan]

#bot-commands

[patent surge]

!d client

[dusk dust]

oh ye

[slate swan]

1. get the role object role = guildObject.get_role(role_id)
2. check if it's in the person's roles if role in message.author.roles:

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_message(self, message): 
    if not syst.isMod(self.message, message.author): return   ```

[slate swan]

Why won't this work? It works in cogs

well a lot of things are different in cogs

[dusk dust]

the bot don't send the message to user's dm

[slate swan]

@commands.Cog.listener() is @botObject.listen()
events/commands outside of cogs don't take self
syst may not be defined

[slate swan]

well um

I don't have no information about that

[slate swan]

    role = guildObject.get_role(892863132299587595)
    if role in message.author.roles:```

Doesn't work says guildObject isn't defined

why do you think

you have to replace it with what the name says

a guild object

idk

message.guild probably

hey

got it working 😮

[dusk dust]

    autor = ctx.author

    await form.add_reaction('🟩')
    await form.add_reaction('⬜')
    await form.add_reaction('🟥')

    def react(reaction, user):
        return str(reaction) == '🟩'

    def react(reaction, user):
        return str(reaction) == '⬜'

    def react(reaction, user):
        return str(reaction) == '🟥'

    await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check=react)
    if reaction.emoji == str('🟩'):
        await autor.send('txt1')

    if reaction.emoji == str('⬜'):
        await autor.send('txt2')

    if reaction.emoji == str('🟥'):
        await autor.send('txt3')
```  It was like this

[slate swan]

nice job @slate swan

well um

no, that's not it

def react(reaction, user):
        return str(reaction) == ':green_square:' or str(reaction) == ':green_square:' ...```

one check would make it

with this formula

[dusk dust]

ok

[slate swan]

so redefining a function doesn't do anything

just the last one would be how it's defined

the first 2 are just memory wastes

and I have to correct myself

def react(reaction, user):
        return str(reaction.emoji) == ':green_square:' or str(reaction.emoji) == ':green_square:' ...```

if str(reaction.emoji) == '🟩':

can someone help me with this error?

not without code

this is the code i wrote

[slate swan]

i was about to send it lol

first of all, while True will block everything else in your code

so i remove it

you should make a task

google it

but the main problem is that get() didn't find the role

ohhhh

in the server i dont have any roles

that might be the problem

lmao

-Computer, find this for me. Hint: it don't exist
-ok

:)

[jovial plover]

discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="everyone")
Is this possible?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.default_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.default\_role

property default_role: discord.role.Role```
Gets the @everyone role that all members have by default.

[slate swan]

but it would

just makes no sense to use it

[slate swan]

Hi, is there a way to get the members avatar without the url? Like I don't get a url but a file

in 2.0

!d discord.Member.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.avatar

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

[slate swan]

or maybe not just in 2.0

cuz the api reference doesn't mention it

[slate swan]

wdym 2.0? Do I have to update a version or smth?

you might have to

I'm not certain

oh kk i see

because the API reference doesn't explicitly mention it

So in a on_member_join - event this should work?

pfp = member.User.avatar

why the User

so just member_avatar?

discord.Member.avatar

.

where discord.Member is replaced with an instance of it

so just member.avatar

ok ty

Well uhh now I get this output: c931c5ef1b7a77fcb19138b84b81fd0d @slate swan

[jovial plover]

target=discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="everyone")
How can i make this work based on names?

I get this error : raise InvalidArgument('target parameter must be either Member or Role')

[slate swan]

avatar returned an Asset object

Can you somehow check if channel_id can be sent a message?

no slowmdoe or anything

[slate swan]

don't use that method

told u it's not worth it

use ctx.guild.default_role

[jovial plover]

what about other roles?

[slate swan]

wdym

[jovial plover]

other than default

[slate swan]

don't you wanna get @everyone

[jovial plover]

Asking in general

[slate swan]

So what do I do it doesn't? I can't resize a string xd

it's not a string

maybe save it

that's probably what save does

[slate swan]

Well yes it is because when I try to resize it it gives me an error that a string cannot be resized

hmm?

did you try to resize an object, that was defined by the library, with a built-in function?

!d discord.Asset.save

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.save

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

Saves this asset into a file-like object.

[slate swan]

assign this to a variable

pfp = member.avatar.save()

with my logic, it should work and be resizeable

it could definitely be wrong :bruhkitty:

Let me try

Well now it says:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'save'```

xdd

bro wat

it can't return a string

Bru I'm just trying to do a welcome message with image manipulation is it that complicated xddd

[slate swan]

Could it be because of the wrong version?

that would be the only explanation

@slate swan To install the new version. Do I just have to do pip install discord.py -- upgrade

or smth like that

no

you need a github url

pip install -U github_url

which I currently can't find

i see

[jovial plover]

how to get id of the role with just it's name

[slate swan]

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.utils.find "discord.utils.find").

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

Examples

Basic usage...

[slate swan]

iterable is your guild

**attrs is the name

with name="name"

is it possible to get a bot's invite link

[slate swan]

only from the dev portal

[maiden fable]

No?

Lol just get the bot ID and the permission integer and u can make the invite link yourself

Yea

Lemme show u

Hahaha

That is how I am making the invite link

I ain't hardcoding it but getting the bot's ID

[slate swan]

should I try to invite this modmail to my server

but it ends with bot for me

@slate swan Okay Bro got it now. But I have to save it as a png file to send it. Is there a way it auto-deletes itself after 10 secs or so? Because if don't my whole server will be full of those welcome images xddd

you mean that the message deletes itself?

[sullen shoal]

send has a delete_after kwarg

[slate swan]

[sullen shoal]

it accepts seconds as float

[slate swan]

No not the message. The PNG file

In my folder

!d os.remove

[unkempt canyon]

os.remove

os.remove(path, *, dir_fd=None)```
Remove (delete) the file *path*. If *path* is a directory, an [`IsADirectoryError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#IsADirectoryError "IsADirectoryError") is raised. Use [`rmdir()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.rmdir "os.rmdir") to remove directories. If the file does not exist, a [`FileNotFoundError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#FileNotFoundError "FileNotFoundError") is raised.

This function can support [paths relative to directory descriptors](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#dir-fd).

On Windows, attempting to remove a file that is in use causes an exception to be raised; on Unix, the directory entry is removed but the storage allocated to the file is not made available until the original file is no longer in use.

This function is semantically identical to [`unlink()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.unlink "os.unlink").

Raises an [auditing event](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#auditing) `os.remove` with arguments `path`, `dir_fd`.

New in version 3.3: The *dir\_fd* argument...

[slate swan]

How do I define the name here?

you give in the path

[sullen shoal]

the guy literally linked the docs above you

[slate swan]

yep, it has many informations since it's really official lmao

[summer gazelle]

Hey, is there a way to refresh a message in every x minutes/seconds using backgroundtask?

[sullen shoal]

refresh a message?

[summer gazelle]

Yep

I'll give you an example

In staff list channel, I want to refresh that list every day so when new staffs joins the staff team, there are being listed in the list

So it should be refreshed to give you the correct number of staffs

Like the stats bot he refresh the number of members

I want to do that in a channel with an embed for exemple that is being refreshed

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[summer gazelle]

How?

[sullen shoal]

I havent done it before so im not sure

however, i assume your bot will stay online most of the time,
you can simply store the message object as a variable and use it and if your bot goes offline, you may somehow indicate to fetch it again

[summer gazelle]

My bot is hosted 24/7 so no worries

[sullen shoal]

so you can just store it as a variable as pass it, and if your bot goes offline, fetch it once and store it again

otherwise I think you can use the pickle built-in module

to store it to a file and load the object

[untold token]

Use a task.loop

How to make a condition that if the author has no roles then

[cerulean osprey]

Why is my bot going offline a lot

[brisk helm]

                join = "".join(x)
                await ctx.send(f"```odbanowano {join}```")``` how to send it as file??

[sullen shoal]

!d Membe.roles

[cerulean osprey]

if len(message.author.roles) == 1

This is how I did it. I was told @.everyone was a role so that’s why it’s 1

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles: List[Role]```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[rare saddle]

I don't need documentation

[cerulean osprey]

Naturally this would make it be the message author roles, just thought I’d clarify

[rare saddle]

thanks you

[sullen shoal]

then dont ask for help here please, thats the only source to learn to use

at least read the docs

[cerulean osprey]

Np

[full lily]

How are you managing to blindly write code without consulting docs?

[slate swan]

How can I make this black Background transparent?

[sullen shoal]

which image library are you using

or is it someone's profile picture?

[slate swan]

@sullen shoal It is someones pfp i'm using PIL

[sullen shoal]

so their pfp is by default transparent or you rounded it

[slate swan]

I rounded it by doing this:

def circle(pfp,size = (215,215)):
    
    pfp = pfp.resize(size, Image.ANTIALIAS).convert("RGBA")
    
    bigsize = (pfp.size[0] * 3, pfp.size[1] * 3)
    mask = Image.new('L', bigsize, 0)
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(mask) 
    draw.ellipse((0, 0) + bigsize, fill=255)
    mask = mask.resize(pfp.size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
    mask = ImageChops.darker(mask, pfp.split()[-1])
    pfp.putalpha(mask)
    return pfp

Idk if it's good or not, copied it from Github

you can also directly insert the alpha channel into the image using numpy

[full valley]

Hi, how can I call a bot command from inside another bot command

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

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

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") holds internally.

Note

This does not handle converters, checks, cooldowns, pre-invoke, or after-invoke hooks in any matter. It calls the internal callback directly as-if it was a regular function.

You must take care in passing the proper arguments when using this function.

[full valley]

so I dont need get_command?

[sullen shoal]

you need it

you have to pass the Command to it

[full valley]

so what would the syntax be?

I'm a little confused

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_command

get_command(name)```
Get a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") from the internal list of commands.

This could also be used as a way to get aliases.

The name could be fully qualified (e.g. `'foo bar'`) will get the subcommand `bar` of the group command `foo`. If a subcommand is not found then `None` is returned just as usual.

[sullen shoal]

it would be something like,

[full valley]

await ctx.invoke(bot.get_command('queue')

[sullen shoal]

yes

[full valley]

why is there no ctx in this one?

[sullen shoal]

ctx stands for Context

[full valley]

yes

why is it not in the example

[sullen shoal]

when you use the decorator to add a command,
the lib will pass the Context as the the first argument.
You can call it whatever you want

async def my_command(context):
  await context.send('hello world')

[brisk helm]

How to reply with out ping?

[sage otter]

await ctx.reply(content="…", mention=False)

Hey, im working on a purge command and im having some trouble with it, i want it to work of roles and not permissions, ive got it work, but when someone uses the command we want the bot to send an error message, for so reason it doesn't want to work

@Bot.command()
@commands.has_any_role(*roles)   
async def purge(ctx, limit = 10): 
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=limit)
        embed = discord.Embed(description= "Cleared channel!")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed, delete_after=15)
@purge.error
async def purge_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRoles):
        embed = discord.Embed(description= "You don't have the permissions to do that!")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed, delete_after=15)
        ctx.message.delete()```

[sullen shoal]

check the type of error

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @safe depot!

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

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

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

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[safe depot]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/raw/casedoxivi

[sullen shoal]

you have to catch discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingAnyRole

    raise MissingAnyRole(items)
discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingAnyRole: You are missing at least one of the required roles: 'Gold command'

also message.delete needs to awaited

[elfin pewter]

Which one should I use for Danbot? (https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro.html)

[sullen shoal]

x?

[slate swan]

    await community.send(embed=embedCommunity,delete_after=5)
    await channelSuggest.send(embed=embedSuggest,delete_after=5)
    time.sleep(10)```

How come the time.sleep messes with my delete_after?

I wanna send a message, then once that message is deleted resend it. Basically keeping a pinned embed at the bottom of the channel.

I've tried asyncio.sleep but that made it spam lol

[sullen shoal]

this is an asynchronous library, you use asyncio.sleep to not block your script

[slate swan]

Well you see..

If you do asyncio.sleep(10)..

It sort of spams

  while True:
    await community.send(embed=embedCommunity,delete_after=5)
    await channelSuggest.send(embed=embedSuggest,delete_after=5)
    time.sleep(10)```

So uh any other ways xd

[sullen shoal]

send the entire code of the command

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  client.ready = True
  await syst.log(xxx)
  community = client.get_channel(xxx)
  channelSuggest = client.get_channel(xxx)
  embedCommunity = discord.Embed(description="Community")
  embedSuggest = discord.Embed(description="Suggest")
  while True:
    await community.send(embed=embedCommunity,delete_after=5)
    await channelSuggest.send(embed=embedSuggest,delete_after=5)
    time.sleep(10)```\

[sullen shoal]

also please follow the PEP 8 style guide

[slate swan]

The xxx is just hidden info.

Don't want it in this channel so ignore it.

[sullen shoal]

youre not supposed to do anything on on_ready

[slate swan]

Why

It seems more efficient to making a message be sent then deleted..

[elfin pewter]

danbot 😅

[sullen shoal]

what youre looking for might be, https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

on_ready is called multiple times

its doing the command, but its doing the whole command and not stopping at if statements even when theyre false.

            embed = discord.Embed(description="Random teams have been chosen",
                                  color=0xE74C3C)
            embed.set_footer(text="CBell 6 Mans | Created by Heptix",

            await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)

[full valley]

when I click on one of the buttons, that invokes it, it sends the r command embed

when it shouldnt

oh hold on

I may be stupid

[sullen shoal]

i dont see anything that says danbot there

[wicked atlas]

I googled it, it looks like it might be some kind of hosting site

[sullen shoal]

i see

[wicked atlas]

Still confused as to what you're asking @elfin pewter

[slate swan]

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    async def printer(self):
        print(self.index)
        self.index += 1```

[sullen shoal]

seems like they want to know which one to install to get their bot working there

[slate swan]

So how does this get executed?

Via command?

[sullen shoal]

which should be asked in their support server

[sullen shoal]

it is included in the link I sent

from discord.ext import tasks, commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.index = 0
        self.bot = bot
        self.printer.start()

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.printer.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    async def printer(self):
        print(self.index)
        self.index += 1

    @printer.before_loop
    async def before_printer(self):
        print('waiting...')
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

it will wait untill the bot is ready then execute the printer loop

self.printer.start() this starts it

[slate swan]

Can I put it into any cogs are got to explicitly use this one?

[sullen shoal]

you can put it in any cog

[safe depot]

Thank you that helped alot 🙂

[slate swan]

ah

Does it void the delete_after when the loop is reset?

Or can they overlap?

[sullen shoal]

dont know, never tried, you should try it yourself

[slate swan]

trying it rn 🙂

[elfin pewter]

Which should I use installation for Danbot Hosting project?

[sullen shoal]

^

[wicked atlas]

I'm not sure, that would be something you need to ask them

[slate swan]

Doesn't work.

import os
import discord
import time
import datetime
import asyncio
from discord.ext.commands import cooldown, BucketType
from discord.ext import tasks, commands

import syst

class EmbeddedCog(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @tasks.loop(seconds=10)
    async def test(self):
      channelSuggest = self.guild.get_channel(xxx)
      channelHelp = self.guild.get_channel(xxx)
      embedSuggest = discord.Embed(description="xxx")
      embedHelp = discord.Embed(description="xxx")
      await channelSuggest.send(embed=embedSuggest,delete_after=10)
      await channelHelp.send(embed=embedHelp,delete_after=10)
      asyncio.sleep(12)```

Doesn't make errors and doesn't execute on_ready.

[sullen shoal]

where is self.guild

[slate swan]

Wdum?

It's getting the guilds channel.

[sullen shoal]

which guild

where is it defined

[slate swan]

Okay fair point..

Since it isn't being executed via cmd..

I have to define guild?

I don't remember how, so like guild = self.get_guild(id) ?

Or way off xd

[sullen shoal]

self is the instance of the class, the attribute bot is discord.ext.commands.Bot instance of your bot

[outer violet]

Can someone help

[slate swan]

Yeah I know.

But don't remember how to define guild

I figured you didn't need to define guild.

Since it gets the channel?

[sullen shoal]

to get the guild object by ID, you can use Bot.get_guild

[slate swan]

bot won't work in cogs

self.get_guild ?

[sullen shoal]

read it carefully.

[slate swan]

When I use bot it doesn't work

says bot isn't defined everytime

[sullen shoal]

okay i see, your problem is something else

[slate swan]

how can I check if a member has a ping roles perm?

Yeah it isn't defining guild.

[sullen shoal]

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html

[slate swan]

You don't have to define it defining channels.

I know how to use classes why did you send that

[sullen shoal]

it will help with it. learning it today will help you forever

well i wont waste more of my time. good luck

[slate swan]

hi

so i am trying to make a bot

and one of the commands i have set up is basically uhh

i have a txt file with phrases on different lines

and i want to print out a specific phrase, but i also want to print/get the line it's on

does that make sense?

[sullen shoal]

btw you may type two lines by the shortcut, shift+enter

i think str.find()

will work for you

[slate swan]

thanks!

[slate swan]

Actually I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for

[sullen shoal]

you may give me an example of your input and output

[slate swan]

How can I do that?

[sullen shoal]

maybe you want something like,

mytxt = '''hello
world
xxx
707'''
phrase = input("enter the phrase: ")
phrases = mytxt.splitlines()
for index, p in enumerate(phrases):
    if phrase.lower() in p.lower():
        print(f"found phrase: {p}\nline: {index+1}")

?

[slate swan]

The string is in a separate text file

[rustic temple]

hello good friends

[sullen shoal]

you may use the open builtin function to read it

[rustic temple]

can someone give me a link to the tutorial for discord. py

that is commonly linked

[sullen shoal]

however its not async so it will block the code

[slate swan]

well that's interesting https://discord.com/blog/discord-bots-and-app-discovery-announcement

[sullen shoal]

there's no need for a tutorial if you know how python classes, OOP and decorators work then just the examples at https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py and the docs, https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master is enough

[rustic temple]

thanks

[west shuttle]

    self.cogs = [
            {'name': 'Minecraft', 'obj': minecraft.Minecraft, 'active': True},
        ] 
        self.init_cogs()

    def init_cogs(self):
        for cog in self.cogs:
            self.bot.add_cog(cog['obj'](self.bot))

It doesnt upload the cog

[sullen shoal]

where is it

also why are you loading them like that?

any specific reason?
