[slate swan]

Like reply commands

[boreal ravine]

from discord.ext import commands mb

[slate swan]

Never tried just doing that

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.reply

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.reply

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

A shortcut method to [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") to reply to the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message").

New in version 1.6.

[slate swan]

I always import discord but it always says its never used in vsc

[slate swan]

?

[boreal ravine]

thats for embeds, typehinting etc

[slate swan]

Makes sense

[boreal ravine]

for replying to messages dmh

[junior terrace]

hello, i have put this into my embed field to ping a role, but it doesnt get pinged <@&816595770052182026>

[slate swan]

You mean when a command is invoked it sends a message?

[boreal ravine]

it canr ping in embed titles

[junior terrace]

ok

ty

[slate swan]

Yea like !help or something

[slate swan]

Is that for like replying to a message like im doing rn?

[slate swan]

Bruh

I'm legit new to coding like I said

[lofty mulch]

Anyone can help me with this error?

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionNotFound: Extension 'dev-panel' could not be loaded.

My code:

   if filename.endswith('.py'):
      bot.load_extension(filename[:-3])```

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

im using ```py
elif member.activities[0].ActivityType.listening:
act = f"Listening"

    elif member.activities[0].ActivityType.competing:
        act = "Competing"``` and i get the error that ActivityType is not an attr, isnt it?

or have i put an attribute in the wrong place

[boreal ravine]

its a class

compare it 2 the class

!d discord.ActivityType

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType

class discord.ActivityType```
Specifies the type of [`Activity`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Activity "discord.Activity"). This is used to check how to interpret the activity itself.

[slate swan]

well what do you recommend

[slate swan]

Thx

[dusk pumice]

Hmm? Sk what happend

[boreal ravine]

comparing the members activity to the class

[slate swan]

Learn python first and then go to dpy

@boreal ravine problem is listening and competing and watching arent actual activities

[boreal ravine]

hm

[slate swan]

like playing, spotify, and streaming

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ActivityType.playing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType.playing

A “Playing” activity type.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ActivityType.watching

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType.watching

A “Watching” activity type.

[slate swan]

..

[boreal ravine]

^

gtg peace

[dusk pumice]

!d discord.ActivityType.listening

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType.listening

A “Listening” activity type.

[slate swan]

yeah i figured the other 2 lol

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ActivityType.watching

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType.watching

A “Watching” activity type.

[dusk pumice]

!d discord.ActivityType

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType

class discord.ActivityType```
Specifies the type of [`Activity`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Activity "discord.Activity"). This is used to check how to interpret the activity itself.

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan exists :)

[dusk pumice]

Here's types

[slate swan]

so would i do something like if member.activitytype.listening is true:

obviously cased properly

[boreal ravine]

no

compare the member activity 2 the class

[slate swan]

class

ok so, im horrible with technical terms

[boreal ravine]

if ... = discord.ActivityType.listening

[slate swan]

oh i see

if listening -

so its like if "nostuff" == str(stuff):

Yeah hes the goat

[slate swan]

Hello, Im working with json. When I want to for example dump a users id into the json file how do I make it so they all stack up on eachother. Right now I wrote a message and it saved my id, then my friend wrote a message but his id overwrote my id. How can I make this not happen?

[brittle ingot]

you need to load the existing file into a dict(?) object and add to the object and then dump it.

[magic ore]

Shouldn't use json as a database

[brittle ingot]

Lovely Youtube Tutorial again 😄

[slate swan]

Nope

Doing this on my own

[slate swan]

Just a small project. Not using this for anything big. Also, I find json easy, cause I dont have to create or download any apps and accounts and all sorts of stuff.

[visual island]

you dont need to download anything with sqlite3 either

[outer violet]

I’m trying to put this into an embed but it’s not working, can someone help?

await ctx.send("Color {}:".format(colour_code), file=discord.File(file, "colour_file.png"))```

[magic ore]

Just because it's easy doesn't mean you should do it
And as mentioned sqlite doesn't require a server or something downloaded

How did you try putting it into an embed

[outer violet]

embed = discord.Embed(
    title=f"Color {colour_code}",
    timestamp=datetime.utcnow()
)
embed.set_image(url="https://colour_code.png")
await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[visual island]

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[slate swan]

Random question you set a timestamp in a embed in the footer text thing?

[brittle ingot]

no

embed has a timestamp attribute.

[visual island]

set in the constructor or set the Embed.timestamp attr

[brittle ingot]

embed = discord.Embed(
    title= str,
    url= str
    description= str,
    color= int / hex
    timestamp= dateObj
)

[slate swan]

Never knew it had that attr

Thx

[brittle ingot]

either or really.

[slate swan]

Thx

[quiet coral]

Hello, do I need a database to make a discord leveling bot ?

[slate swan]

@brittle ingot i have a question

how could i make something for every 12 hours it clears chat

[brittle ingot]

yes

[brittle ingot]

you would need to use the tasks ext of discord.py

with tasks.loop

[slate swan]

example

[quiet coral]

I am pretty new to databases why would need one for a leveling bot?

[brittle ingot]

oh gosh.

[slate swan]

well

i know how to use tasks

but would i have to fetch channel and use ctx.channel.purge or whatever

what is it

[slate swan]

To keep a record of the users level

[quiet coral]

ok thnx

[brittle ingot]

so a bot doesn't store information constantly, it can store little snippets, but when its shut off all that data is lost. Saving it in a database makes it so you can store access and update that information regardless of whether you bot is online.

[slate swan]

^ better explanation

[brittle ingot]

most likely yes.

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True, loop=...)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[quiet coral]

can't I just keep the records on a json file?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

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

[slate swan]

Not good to keep data in json

it takes an id ..

[brittle ingot]

you could but its not recommended as JSON isn't meant to be used as a database, its more of a way to exchange data across the web or between applications. With that said its easily corruptible

[slate swan]

Not a db but a format its used for data exchanging and not saving data

[brittle ingot]

exactly

If i had any useful information for you wass it would be to learn about SQL, you can download Codeacademy app on your phone and learn SQL easily and for free. Then you will be able to apply that to database libraries like PostgreSQL, Sqlite3 or even mariaDB.

[slate swan]

More like a clear pipe exchanging water to another bucket which a db is the starting bucket which a db has encryption so it wouldn't be a clear pipe

[quiet coral]

ok thnx

[brittle ingot]

no problem

[quiet coral]

#this function checks if the command is being executed in the right channel
def check_channel(ctx):
        text_channels=['bot_commands', 'bot_commands', "🤖 bot_commands"]
        if str(ctx.channel) in text_channels:
            return True
@commands.command()
@commands.check(check_channel)

How can I do the check with a command that's in a cog is the code down bellow right?

    #this function checks if the command is being executed in the right channel
    def check_channel(self,ctx):
        text_channels=['bot_commands', 'bot_commands', "🤖 bot_commands"]
        if str(ctx.channel) in text_channels:
            return True
@commands.command()
@cog_check(check_channel)

[brittle ingot]

there is a way to make it its own check that you can call like @your-check.

!d discord.ext.commands.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via [`Command.checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks").

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError"). Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error").

[quiet coral]

so what does the @cog_check() decorator do?

[brittle ingot]

def cmdChannelOnly():
    def predicate(ctx):
        return ctx.channel.name.contains(['commands', 'cmds'])
    return commands.check(predicate)

@commands.command()
@cmdChannelOnly()
async def only_me(self, ctx):
    await ctx.send('Only you!')

according to the documentation

[slate swan]

Next time put it in a code block so you wont ping any user

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[slate swan]

Just remove py to make it a code block

[dusky pine]

`code` for inline code

[slate swan]

The word cog

[quiet coral]

you created your own decorator right?

[brittle ingot]

yea

[slate swan]

Why a function inside a function? And how did you make it to a decorator never seen it done before

[brittle ingot]

i updated it, because i forgot one vital part.

[brittle ingot]

its in the docs. literally just copy pasted it 😂

[slate swan]

Oh bruh😭

So I downloaded pycord for the first time

I'm running into weird errors

[brittle ingot]

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

[slate swan]

Thx

[brittle ingot]

just scroll down slightly and you'll see it

[slate swan]

Ty

[brittle ingot]

i apologize i can't help with PyCord or your errors will just get weirder 😂

[quiet coral]

is pycord that trash 😂 ?

[brittle ingot]

no

Its a fork of discord.py

since discord.py was discontinued

[quiet coral]

yeah I am currently using disnake

[brittle ingot]

never heard of that either 😂

[slate swan]

You said what?

[quiet coral]

what are u using ?? still with discord.py or using discord.js?

[brittle ingot]

I haven't used python since the discontinuation letter from Danny came out. Look at my status 😂

[slate swan]

import discord
import discord.ext.commands
from discord.flags import Intents

with open("secrets/token") as data:
  token = data.read().strip()

bot = discord.Bot(
  command_prefix = "$",
  intents = Intents.all()
)

bot.run(token)

Raising an error saying discord has no attribute Bot when according to the docs, it clearly does?

Disnake is probably the best fork out there,same syntax and most advanced

[brittle ingot]

its commands.Bot and your imports are off

[valid perch]

Using pycord huh, sure you got it installed?

Pycord added discord.Bot for slash commands. So uh, yea weird

[quiet coral]

it is from discord.ext import commands

[slate swan]

What should my imports be? I'm waaaay too used to Hikari now. I'm trying out pycord because Hikari has super limited voice support

[slate swan]

You can do that too(i think)

[quiet coral]

then do commands.Bot

[slate swan]

Oh thanks

[brittle ingot]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix = "",
    intents = discord.Intents.all()
)

bot.run(token)

!d

[unkempt canyon]

All inventories (`36` total)

Page 1/6

[valid perch]

If there using pycord it's valid syntax 🤢

[slate swan]

#bot-commands

[valid perch]

Python bot requires it be exact sadly

[slate swan]

^

[brittle ingot]

that's because it scrapes im pretty sure

[slate swan]

Its really bizarre since discord.Bot is definitely valid in pycord

[brittle ingot]

wait you're using PyCord?

[valid perch]

Like I've been saying... Tut

[slate swan]

Yeeeep

[brittle ingot]

lol my bad, im ded okay 😂

[valid perch]

Guess I'm blocked but read this

[brittle ingot]

you aren't blocked.... why would you be

[valid perch]

Cos why add discord api stuff to Client

When you can make another Bot for it

[slate swan]

This is annoying

I'll try installing pycord again, but if I can't get it to work I'm going back to hikari lol

[valid perch]

You can put it in a try except. So if it's forbidden or fails it sends to ctx.channel

[brittle ingot]

use a try except block. in the except handle discord.Forbidden

[slate swan]

Use except

[brittle ingot]

oof lol

[slate swan]

Not just except add discord.Forbidden

[brittle ingot]

are you trying to member.send in the except?

lol

[slate swan]

try: 
await member.send()
except discord.Forbidden:
await ctx.send()

[brittle ingot]

can't say i've never done that before

[slate swan]

On mobile so not well indented

[patent lark]

just a tip:

ctx.channel.send() is the same thing as ctx.send(). no need to add channel.

[slate swan]

^

[brittle ingot]

I’d say you are human not dumb

And ctx.reply will reply to the ctx.message 😄

[slate swan]

^

Time to learn javascript lmao, this is too much trouble

@slate swan Btw you can use bare except but it isnt recommended as it can raise any error so add discord.Forbidden after so it will except a discord error as dms are locked

[brittle ingot]

Lmao. The dark side 😂

[valid perch]

Learning a whole language because a single package import broke lol, fun

[slate swan]

I have to learn it at some point, might as well be now

There are lots of libraries I could use lol

[brittle ingot]

You could also just work with discord.py to get used to it… if you haven’t already

[slate swan]

And then just move to disnake so you wont migrate to disnake when dpy is unusable

[brittle ingot]

I think once I get my current projects done I’ll make a python bot and test out the current forks

[slate swan]

Disnake is good same syntax so its good

All you have to change is from discord to disnake or just import disnake as discord

[brittle ingot]

IK that sebkuip is collaborating with another py dev on a discord.py fork

Well not a fork, they’re rewriting it from scratch. Been kinda cool to see the guts of the library

[slate swan]

I need slash commands lol

[slate swan]

Thats cool

I installed disnake, this is working

[slate swan]

Disnake has slash conmands

[brittle ingot]

If you want to use just slash commands discordjs is your solution, although it’s difficult to do any other type of command

Honest assessment would be to just try disnake since okimiii speaks so highly of it

That sounded snobby wasn’t meant to

[slate swan]

Yes

slash commands are all I really like lol

Using disnake, can I create prefix and slash commands under the same code?

Or do I have to write them separately

[slate swan]

Dont know never tried it

And i think in disnake slash commands have their own decorator

[slate swan]

@slate swan https://disnake.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/slash_commands.html

Yeah I'll have to define them separately

[brave flint]

ctx.voice_state docs?

[slate swan]

can someone help me with the wait_for command please? the documentation is so confusing

        a_file = open("puzzles.txt","r")
        linenum = ""
        lines = open('puzzles.txt').read().splitlines()
        puzzleline = random.choice(lines)
        for number, line in enumerate(a_file):
            if puzzleline in line:
                linenum = number + 1
                break
        Titleline = linecache.getline(r"titles.txt", linenum)
        hint1 = linecache.getline(r"hint1.txt", linenum)
        hint2 = linecache.getline(r"hint2.txt", linenum)
        hint3 = linecache.getline(r"hint3.txt", linenum)
        incorrect = linecache.getline(r"incorrect.txt", linenum)
        solution = linecache.getline(r"solutions.txt", linenum)
        answer = linecache.getline(r"answers.txt", linenum)
        imageline = linecache.getline(r"images.txt", linenum)
        embedVar = discord.Embed(title="Puzzle No. " + str(linenum) + ":" + str(Titleline), description = str(puzzleline), color=0xE95124)
        embedVar.set_image(url=imageline)
        embedVar.add_field(name="Stuck?", value="Type 'l!hint' for a hint!", inline=False)
        embedVar.add_field(name='Want to Stop?', value="Type l!exit or l!stop to stop!", inline=True)
        embedVar.set_footer(text="A true gentleman never leaves a puzzle unsolved...")
        await message.channel.send(embed=embedVar)```

basically i want to check for a few commands after the await command

[brave flint]

did ctx.voice_client have disconnect?

[slate swan]

nvm i think i gotit

[molten kraken]

I'v created a webform in which someone can input data, a username. I want that data (username) to be passed to my discord bot awaiting a response from an admin. I want to execute a conditional based on the admins response. How can i make my bot listen for an input from an external source?

[sullen shoal]

you have to wrap up the main functionality of your command to a function, then add a slash command and a textual command and inside them just call the function

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#ext-commands-api-checks

[brave flint]

why my bot said Volume of the player set to 1% but no effect on sounds?, no error were showed

[slate swan]

Yea

[brave flint]

can you help my newer?

[slate swan]

https://replit.com/@CG158/Layton-Bot#main.py can someone help, when I run this and execute the l!puzzle command, a error "TypeError: on_message() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'" pops up

Nvm fixed it lol

[sullen shoal]

I won't recommend making your bot like this, you should use the extension, discord.ext.commands

it is thousand times better

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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

@bot.command()
async def puzzle(ctx):
    ...

@bot.command(aliases=["about"])
async def what(ctx):
    ...

for the help command, we have a very useful class to automate the process.

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

class discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand(*args, **kwargs)```
The base implementation for help command formatting.

Note

Internally instances of this class are deep copied every time the command itself is invoked to prevent a race condition mentioned in [GH-2123](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/2123).

This means that relying on the state of this class to be the same between command invocations would not work as expected.

[sullen shoal]

you can have a look here,
https://github.com/m-y-x-i/simple-disnake-discord-bot/blob/main/cogs/help.py

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py

@slate swan take time, try and see which is easier to maintain

[slate swan]

I just make a command named help lmfao

I fixed it but thank you

[sullen shoal]

thats waste of time

[slate swan]

Its a recommendation

[slate swan]

Eh

[sullen shoal]

https://github.com/m-y-x-i/simple-disnake-discord-bot/blob/main/cogs/help.py

check that

100 lines of code and now i will never have to worry about the help command

[slate swan]

@slate swan check this its better
https://vcokltfre.dev/

If your learning dpy ^

If your in disnake just replace discord with disnake and you'll be good or just import disnake as discord

[sullen shoal]

replacing it with disnake is recommended, reduces that 30 percent chance of getting confused

[slate swan]

Yeah

[lost lagoon]

Hello!

https://rapidapi.com/apidojo/api/yh-finance
I would like to implement this into my discord bot but i dont know how to convert it to python

or thishttps://rapidapi.com/twelvedata/api/twelve-data1

[sage otter]

There’s literally a python code snippet tho?

[slate swan]

lol

[sullen shoal]

use aiohttp or httpx.AsyncClient()
the python snippet there will block the code

[brave flint]

ey myxi can you help my problem?

[brave flint]

here

[steep estuary]

how to add buttons in bot's profile ??

what are needs for that ?

[sullen shoal]

i dont have experience with voice stuff

[maiden fable]

Now u know it (:

[steep estuary]

pls ://

[dusk pumice]

:(

sry

[slate swan]

How didnt you not know that if your iterating through a list of guild.members?

[slate swan]

go to your bot's Oauth2 , select General ,
default auth link ..

if you mean the invite bot thingy

[steep estuary]

no

in new update

discord bots can have a Add to Server Button in the profile

[sullen shoal]

discord doesn't allow to change volume of voice members for everyone that is something the client does

[steep estuary]

see

[maiden fable]

Yea

[steep estuary]

this

[slate swan]

thats what i said bro

[steep estuary]

how to do that ?

[maiden fable]

Bruh, Sarthak said the correct way 🤦

[slate swan]

i just sent that

[maiden fable]

^^^

[steep estuary]

what is the use of members intent

[slate swan]

you dont need to code for that

[steep estuary]

it need reason

[brave flint]

no i want to change the bot volume

[steep estuary]

it needs intents ?

[slate swan]

no

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceClient.edit

[steep estuary]

ohk

[maiden fable]

Nvm, I forgot the method

[steep estuary]

then how ? it is possible in discord.py ?

[maiden fable]

Bro.....

[steep estuary]

oh k

OAuth2 -> general

[slate swan]

what version are you using?

[steep estuary]

then ?

[brave flint]

newest

[slate swan]

the master branch?

[brave flint]

didnt specify version so it will be newest

[brave flint]

wut?

[steep estuary]

bro pls tell Oauth2 -> General then ??

default auth link

[slate swan]

did you install it from git or just pip install discord.py

[steep estuary]

what should i select ?

[brave flint]

hey bro

do you know what is the problem

[slate swan]

select in app authorisation from the box

[brave flint]

if i didnt do that why i ask the cmd problem

[boreal ravine]

[slate swan]

because ctx does not have a voice_state

[boreal ravine]

python main.py

[slate swan]

in the master branch , unsure about 1.7.3

[steep estuary]

wht is in-app auth

[boreal ravine]

ur main file*

[boreal ravine]

bro

[brave flint]

cogs

[boreal ravine]

just go to it and play with it

[steep estuary]

:/

[sullen shoal]

isn't changing volume something ffmpeg does tho

[boreal ravine]

😐

[slate swan]

the 'add to server' button

[boreal ravine]

yes

[steep estuary]

and custom url means ?

[slate swan]

how is that related?

[boreal ravine]

just go to it

[steep estuary]

what to do ?

[brave flint]

wut

[slate swan]

see , doesnt exist

[boreal ravine]

in-app

[steep estuary]

ok

[slate swan]

did you watch any tutorial for the code?..

[steep estuary]

ohh i understood it is asking for invite link

[brave flint]

why ctx.voice_state.voice.pause work fine?

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.VoiceState

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceState

class discord.VoiceState```
Represents a Discord user’s voice state.

[slate swan]

select in app auth and check on bot and application commands ( if you want slash cmds ) as well

[boreal ravine]

exists @slate swan

shell

[slate swan]

there is no ctx.voice_state to return VoiceState

[steep estuary]

i think better to choose the perms again i should give a already existing link ?

[slate swan]

your wish

[boreal ravine]

hm

[sullen shoal]

discord doesnt reduce volume, your bot counts as a member too. pretty sure thats something ffmpeg should do tho

[dusk pumice]

Is it only for PC?

[sullen shoal]

but idk its discord anything could happen

[boreal ravine]

not only ffmpeg

[steep estuary]

idk

[boreal ravine]

yes

[dusk pumice]

Mac and windows both?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[dusk pumice]

And no android or IOS?

[sullen shoal]

its beta

[slate swan]

dont think its implemented on android

[dusk pumice]

Ohh

[boreal ravine]

nope

[maiden fable]

Nope, as usual

[dusk pumice]

kk

[maiden fable]

Not even message and user commands on mobile 🤦

[boreal ravine]

Its only meant for pc iirc

[dusk pumice]

tnx

[slate swan]

mobile devices always get late updates

[dusk pumice]

😩

[boreal ravine]

use canary on mobile then?

[maiden fable]

I am using Discord Beta on mobile tho

[slate swan]

can , it still takes a long time

[dusk pumice]

[slate swan]

canary if completely different and a lot buggy

[maiden fable]

Ah, the one with the yellow icon?

[dusk pumice]

You can get on google play?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

yeah i dont remember actually , its yellow in pc tho

[sullen shoal]

or apk mirror

[slate swan]

You have to join the beta program iirc

[boreal ravine]

well afaik discord wont put ats button on mobile because the feature for clicking oauth links on pc makes ur life easier rather than going to another website to authorize a bot i think thats why they added the button

[sullen shoal]

they can make it on mobile too tho

[slate swan]

yea just like the listen along button for spotify

[boreal ravine]

I dont think putting smth on another app is possible

[brave flint]

well how to prevent different vc people disconnect the other vc musics?

[sullen shoal]

another app?

[boreal ravine]

yes

the oauth button on mobile in discord mobile

[slate swan]

it would anyways redirect you to a browser , which kills the purpose

[boreal ravine]

yes

[sullen shoal]

they got money, they can make it easier on mobile too

like add button would open smth on discord mobile app

[boreal ravine]

Doesnt matter if they have money or not, if they add the button it'll just redirect u to a browser like sarthak said

[slate swan]

that would be just like the slash commands , which take 5-10 seconds just to show up on mobile devices

[boreal ravine]

you cant do that on mobile

[sullen shoal]

it doesn't need to, if they try they can do something like what happen when you click the nitro accept button

a floating thing where they can add bots

no need of browser

its their api they can do anythjng

[boreal ravine]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[sullen shoal]

thats what im saying

[boreal ravine]

Why do you keep saying this, not everything is possible on discord, the entire platform is shit

[slate swan]

The disrespect

While your wearing there logo as a pfp😭

[sullen shoal]

ik the platform is shit but they made it they own it, the entire thing is their, they have money, they have paid programmers and they can even change this to a clone of onlyfans if they want thats im saying

they can implement new stuff

[slate swan]

I'm not prepared to properly learn disnake now lol

[slate swan]

why?

[sullen shoal]

you dont have to learn it just learn python

[slate swan]

you dont need to learn something new

I'm just so comfortable with hikari

I need to learn how to do voice commands on hikari, its a bit of a pain on it though

lol i see , remaking my bot in hikari too

[slate swan]

Thats... not how that works lol

[slate swan]

voice commands , and the channel purge thingy in hikari sucks , especially when u use raw hikari

I refuse to use raw hikari for that lol

I'm using the lavasnek_rs library

lightbulb/tanjun?

[slate swan]

No need to rush or jump to it🤷‍♂️

if there is like
3 reactions on a message like 🔗⛩️💢
and i want my bot to detect the third reaction that is 💢 and wants it to react on any of the three when it detects 💢, how do it do that

[sullen shoal]

that's exactly how it works, knowledge of python, examples which they have, and docs which they have

[slate swan]

Yes, but then I need to take the time to read the docs, thats what I mean by learn disnake

[sullen shoal]

what do you do then

[slate swan]

disnake is easier than hikari tho

[sullen shoal]

programming is all about staring the docs thats it

[slate swan]

I use hikari and am comfortable with it to a point where I don't need to check the docs regularly

[maiden fable]

Same is with me but in disnake (dpy fork)

[slate swan]

I'm trying out disnake right now, its messing with me lol

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.on_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_add

discord.on_reaction_add(reaction, user)```
Called when a message has a reaction added to it. Similar to [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message_edit "discord.on_message_edit"), if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add") instead.

Note

To get the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") being reacted, access it via [`Reaction.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Reaction.message "discord.Reaction.message").

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

Note

This doesn’t require [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") within a guild context, but due to Discord not providing updated user information in a direct message it’s required for direct messages to receive this event. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add") if you need this and do not otherwise want to enable the members intent.

[dusk pumice]

Tnx

[slate swan]

You learn something everyday from docs i dont find it boring tbh i find it cool and intriguing🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

Yw

[dusk pumice]

🙂

[slate swan]

I do too, I just don't have much time these days, so I prefer to work with what I understand. At least until I have time to learn again

[sullen shoal]

the new stuff is not alot, it took me like 30 minutes to get to know the new stuff

[slate swan]

No need to rush anything do everything at your speed 🤷‍♂️

slash in hikari-lb

Its just the small stuff thats messing with me. Like how I'll habitually write a load function instead of a setup function for cogs

[sullen shoal]

thats crap

[slate swan]

slash in disnake

[sullen shoal]

its better than that

[slate swan]

dont think hikari is ezier

check v2

[slate swan]

🤷‍♂️

[sullen shoal]

easy to use

the docs strings are used for the actual description and param description

[slate swan]

Why is your clock in 24h format

Looks cursed

[sullen shoal]

its 12hour format the third are seconds

[slate swan]

the @commands.SlashCommand implementation?

[sullen shoal]

it helps during my exams

[slate swan]

Yep

What extensions do I need for Discord bots?

[slate swan]

Oh thats cool ig

yea i hope thommo finishes with the update soon , so i dont need to rewrite the bot again from v1 to v2

[slate swan]

Wdym by extensions?

[slate swan]

!pypi discord.py or if you want to stay updated use forks like disnake

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v1.7.3

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.2.2

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

Thats all

Ok. Thank you for the help.

Is pip useful also?

Yeah

[slate swan]

I like v1 tbh. Although v2 will 100% be worth the upgrade, especially because it handles slash commands and prefix commands in the same way in v2

[brave flint]

how to prefent bot disconnected from user that not with the bot when in vc?

[lavish grove]

anyone ever have this happen with an embed after editing it?

[sullen shoal]

what happened

[slate swan]

yeah i liked the Plugin implementation in v1 more

[lavish grove]

i just edited the message by replacing the embed lol

[slate swan]

it was like commands.Cog

[sullen shoal]

you edit to replace the embed

[slate swan]

if you are sending the image as discord.File , you cannot edit it

[lavish grove]

fml lol

that makes sense

[sullen shoal]

you could use links

[slate swan]

And should I be using Visual Studio Code or PyCharm?

[sullen shoal]

your choice

[lavish grove]

idk how to encode the image to use a data string lol

[slate swan]

ill suggest vsc

[sullen shoal]

pycharm eats ram so choose a less ram heavy one if your desktop is potato

[slate swan]

Yep. That said, I'm still excited. No need to resolve objects anymore, they do it automatically

vs code all the way

[slate swan]

Vsc is more beginner friendly

Ok

And as said its not that heavy on laptops

How do I install the disnake and discord.py and pip that you all recommended

[visual island]

pycharm has more built-in features

[slate swan]

I found Pycharm needlessly power hungry

[visual island]

but it's really heavy

[slate swan]

Do I go to extensions on VSC and search disnake and pip and discord py?

[slate swan]

Pip gets downloaded with python if you checked it which is automatic

[slate swan]

cmd

You should learn Python before making a bot though

[sullen shoal]

and kinda looks ugly to me, i tried a few themes but it was still ugly imo

[slate swan]

Since you don't know how to install libraries, it means you never got into Python yet

[slate swan]

Debatable

[slate swan]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

https://pythondiscord.com/resources

[slate swan]

Ok well I am taking a python class right now, we just do it on a website

I know a decent amount of python, just not with downloaded extensions

[slate swan]

Replit?

codehs

discord bots are hard to write before understanding oop at minimum

[slate swan]

Never heard of it

So how do i install these? Do i go to the extensions in VSC?

[sullen shoal]

you use the python package managers for third party python modules, like anaconda, pypi

[slate swan]

VS code extensions are specific for VS code

@slate swan Discord bots are hard but if you want to jump to them go for it no harm in that

I do but I don't know how to download these things that you are telling me to.

[slate swan]

You don't need VSC to install libraries

[slate swan]

Only ext you need is the python one

[sullen shoal]

if you want to easily build a discord bot without suffering, you have to take class for python classes :p

[slate swan]

the discord.py one?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py#installing

There is an installation tutorial

[slate swan]

No a ext for vsc to understand py

As simple as that

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake

You can follow installation instructions here if you want disnake

[sullen shoal]

people call it bad but it really isn't those dumbfucks dont know shit how good disnake is, skids

[slate swan]

Damn, aggressive

[sullen shoal]

so if someone calls it bad, block em

[slate swan]

Never said it was bad, just said I like hikari 🤷‍♂️

[sullen shoal]

that wasnt for you tho

[slate swan]

So passive aggressive

Your correct tho

Who's calling it bad lol

[sullen shoal]

there are a lot of them

[slate swan]

Probably a whole comunity server

Disnake seems like a good library. I already like it more than pycord

Because pycord bugged out on me

[sullen shoal]

oh yeah that shit is famous cuz of a kid on YouTube

[slate swan]

Same syntax as dpy so yeah

[slate swan]

ty

I was reading in a thread that pycord commits without proper testing. Not sure how true that is, but its definitely put me off of it

[visual island]

disnake did that once

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/commit/66e54fb8e75e13b844c00f0361c3bfd9731d1cc0#diff-69fdd6d30baadc89af77bb44e1777b5a1a17b19433c4b4e4d52ffd715da14f2c especially this commit

it's unusable in 2.2.0

[slate swan]

huh

Well, I'm still partial to disnake as far as dpy forks go lol

[visual island]

yeah it's one of the best forks currently

[slate swan]

Same syntax and pretty advance

Kinda basic too

I'll slowly write a bot in it

I really don't understand how to install this. I put it in the code and ran it.

Not sure what I'd make a new bot for, but its fun so

[slate swan]

In the cmd?

[slate swan]

What do you mean by "this"

I just put it in the area I am supposed to put the code in.

Installing discord.py

What do you mean area?

@slate swan Go to cmd and type:
pip install discord
And for disnake its just:
pip install disnake

What is cmd?

This

To find it just press alt+r and type cmd

is it the same thing for mac?

And your gonna be in it

[slate swan]

Oh you arent on windows

no

Check the mac terminal i dont know how cuz i use windows

just normal mac terminal?

Probably, but I also don't use mac lol

[slate swan]

I think idk not a mac user

[soft relic]

I can't find game development channel lol

[slate swan]

#game-development

[soft relic]

thx

[slate swan]

Yw

Same for Mac

Just use the Terminal

Same commands and everything

well

Good to know

I'd switch to mac if I wasn't a broke bitch lol

[soft relic]

does anyone know autocode?

[slate swan]

Dont see why

Ahh, for me its music production lol, completely unrelated to programming

Thats cool

[sullen shoal]

python3 -m pip install discord should work

[slate swan]

Works too

[slate swan]

when i do this it should download pip right?

[sullen shoal]

pip is built in

[slate swan]

^

[sullen shoal]

if its not available then there are tools to download it

startswith with "easy" or smth

[slate swan]

Mine says
"-bash: pip: command not found"

[sullen shoal]

oh

what did yoy try

[slate swan]

pip install disnake

[slate swan]

Have you downloaded py?

[sullen shoal]

on unix systems it should be pip3

[slate swan]

Its weird that you'd have python installed without pip 🤔

I have visual studio code downloaded

[sullen shoal]

if it doesn't work, python3 -m ensurepip will install pip

[slate swan]

Has happened to me just repair and i think it will install itself

Maybe pip isnt in environment var

I did that and still didnt work

Its saying i am on version 21.2.3 of pip and that i can go to 21.3.1

[sullen shoal]

what did you do

[slate swan]

and then when I do that, it doesnt show up

[sullen shoal]

pip is installed

when did it show that

[slate swan]

Yes

[sullen shoal]

which command

[slate swan]

Do pip install --upgrade pip

after doing the discord py one

[sullen shoal]

command?

[slate swan]

python3 -m pip install -U discord.py

[sullen shoal]

nice

[slate swan]

His pip version is out of date

[sullen shoal]

it will work fine

[slate swan]

Still recommend

then why does it say pip is not found

[sullen shoal]

but they could do python3 -m pip install -U pip

@slate swan its not in the path

try pip3

#bot-commands

[slate swan]

Pip is probably not in environment vars

[slate swan]

did that

[sullen shoal]

did it show anything long

[slate swan]

Yeah

[sullen shoal]

what was the output

[slate swan]

A bunch of commands

[sullen shoal]

yeah that will work

now do pip3 install -U pip

@rigid torrent #bot-commands

[slate swan]

I dunno, I've had trouble installing libraries on older pip versions before

[slate swan]

did this now upgraded to pip 21.3.1

[slate swan]

Same

[slate swan]

Try installing discord.py now, it'll probably work

ok after i upgraded to pip 21.3.1 i downloaded disnake and it worked

[slate swan]

using this? python3 -m pip install -U discord.py

[slate swan]

Do you have vsc? Yet

that should work

Yes I have vsc

[slate swan]

Download the python ext

Already have it

Great

Ive had vsc for like 5 months

Nice

Its a wrong token

Whats the full traceback?

[slate swan]

it says requirement already satisfied

[slate swan]

You already have it then

Ok so I have downloaded discord py and disnake and pip. Do i need anything else for bots?

[slate swan]

Nope

You need to create an application in the discord developer portal and make it a bot

So now I can exit the terminal and create a bot on vsc?

Bro thats d.js

[slate swan]

yeah ik abt that

Then yep, you can make a bot now!

As it said its a invalid token

Great. Thank you for the help.

[brittle ingot]

it appears your token isn't making the typeof string. make sure you are storing it inside quotes

also: https://discord.gg/djs

[slate swan]

@slate swan to learn how to make a discord bot https://vcokltfre.dev/

[slate swan]

Btw if your using disnake just change discord to disnake and youll be good

[slate swan]

Yw

[brittle ingot]

This is fine, im just sending that incase you didn't know it existed.

try logging token to the console.

[slate swan]

I could've used this two years ago 😭

[slate swan]

Rip

[boreal ravine]

read the error

[boreal ravine]

??

Im stating facts

literal paywalls everywhere

[slate swan]

Fax tho🤷‍♂️

Trying to do "import discord" on line one and it says I have no module named discord.

[sullen shoal]

you didn't properly retrieve the environment variables then

[boreal ravine]

what lib r u using

[sullen shoal]

well now that's gonna eat some brain to explain

[slate swan]

Import disnake werent you using disnake?

[sullen shoal]

as you have installed disnake, try it with disnake

[slate swan]

Oh ok

[sullen shoal]

import disnake

[boreal ravine]

"big brain"

[sullen shoal]

but they installed discord.py too

[slate swan]

Nope

[slate swan]

Hes a beginner chill

Didnt work

[boreal ravine]

bruh 💀

[sullen shoal]

alright you have two python installations

i heard macs have python2 installed by default

[slate swan]

[brittle ingot]

mine didn't :/

Vps's do though

[slate swan]

I did import disnake but it isnt working

[sullen shoal]

in the vscode terminal, execute python3 filename.py

where filename is your file's name where you imported the module

[slate swan]

I only imported it into the terminal

[sullen shoal]

although i dont know why you as a beginner are starting with discord.py
the owner straight up claims, this is not beginner friendly.

and you will suffer alot

it has many advanced topics of python

you will need time to understand

you have to begin with small projects like calculator, tictactoe

[slate swan]

Ok but I will need to get this to work eventually, right?

I have done those projects

I am taking a python class in school and we have done those

We just do it on a website called codehs

[sullen shoal]

what about decorators, python classes, OOP

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

Just let im be dont kill his vibe

Like I just want to get this working. I may not start coding bots now but I just want it to work so later I can

I do stand for what you said but just let him be

[sullen shoal]

well i have been through that as a kid, i learnt nothing and it was a waste of 3 months

[slate swan]

Yeah but that was you

We all dont make the same mistake

[slate swan]

Just dm me ill help you out

Ehhh, my first dpy bot I knew nothing about OOP and decorators

It makes it a lot easier, but you learn from your mistakes

[slate swan]

We all learned from somewhere

[slate swan]

Yeah

[slate swan]

University lmao

[sullen shoal]

okay pretty sure thats what going to happen but okay so the problem is that you have two python installations and the one where the modules are not installed has been selected by default

[slate swan]

||no||

[sullen shoal]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python

this will help with it.

[brittle ingot]

surprisingly many of us are self taught 😄

[slate swan]

@slate swan ^

[slate swan]

Pretty crazy

[slate swan]

I mean, no, but also yes

[slate swan]

Lmao

Having problems thrown at you that you wouldn't necessarily tackle otherwise speeds up your learning so fast

So how do I get to the other python that has the thingss i installed

[sullen shoal]

i sent a link? @slate swan

[slate swan]

Better in my part i work and learn at my own pace unlike in school which you get topics shoved in your throat

I wouldn't be decent at recursion if it didn't get shoved down my throat

[wise tinsel]

Best alternative of discord.py??

[brittle ingot]

you can reinstall it under python three just make sure you are in your root directory not your project directory. Or you can use pip to install pipenv and use pipenv with a pipfile that keeps all your dependencies in your projects virtual ENV

[slate swan]

Disnake

[slate swan]

Do you want a discord.py fork or a completely different library

[slate swan]

And i think you ment fork

[slate swan]

Or ^

[slate swan]

Lmao

Recursion was a nightmare topic, until it wasn't

[slate swan]

I think I did my commands under python3. I think I did python3 pip install whatever

[wise tinsel]

Fork

[slate swan]

Everything in python is a nightmare until you understand it

[slate swan]

As i said disnake

[slate swan]

Disnake for sure

[wise tinsel]

Why??

I mean

[sullen shoal]

you asked

[brittle ingot]

okay, just make sure you are out of your project directory to make sure run:

cd

then:

python3 -m pip install discord.py

[wise tinsel]

Why is it best??

[slate swan]

Same syntax basic and advanced

[boreal ravine]

got all the new features

[slate swan]

in terminal?

Slash commands

[brittle ingot]

yes in your VSCode terminal

[slate swan]

Top 3

[sullen shoal]

"best" is a personal preference. try it and see if its "best"

[boreal ravine]

advanced?

[wise tinsel]

Slash commands??

[slate swan]

Not in that way you might think but features like slash commands

[sullen shoal]

yes those have been implemented

[slate swan]

My favourite library is Hikari. Other people love Disnake. Its a preference thing

[wise tinsel]

^

[cerulean osprey]

Hello again. I wanted to add something where, when my bot bans someone, it sends a message saying they were banned, this is the code I used

await message.channel.send(message.author , 'has been softbanned')

However I got an error saying TypeError: send() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 3 were given how do I fix this?

[brittle ingot]

you will need to trash the terminal after and open a new one to get back into your projects directory. You could just CD back into it but this way is easier 😂

[boreal ravine]

message.author is wrong

[sullen shoal]

Myxi#1818 | 19/11/21, 11:53:20 AM

yes those have been implemented

@wise tinsel

[boreal ravine]

use f-strings

[slate swan]

My VSCode terminal just has nothing happen

[sullen shoal]

format it with python formatting methods. one of them being f strings

[slate swan]

F strings are a gift

string concatenation is a nightmare

[sullen shoal]

f"{message.author} ..."

[boreal ravine]

% is best way to format

[cerulean osprey]

I got it thank you

[boreal ravine]

😏

[slate swan]

How come?

[slate swan]

It says requirements already satisfied.

[sullen shoal]

two python installations. as i said

[boreal ravine]

it was sarcastic

[slate swan]

I know you said that. I looked at the link and I really don't understand how Hello World will be helping me switch to the other python installation.

[sullen shoal]

i do think its good tho. % and .format string method have their uses that fstrings cant do

[slate swan]

I've never seen % used, so I was confused

[sullen shoal]

read it all. it was a topic there

[slate swan]

Was it Python environments?

[sullen shoal]

yes

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python#_environments

https://code.visualstudio.com/assets/docs/languages/python/no-interpreter-selected-statusbar.png

it will be showing diffrent installations if you click that

[boreal ravine]

!e

a = "apples"
print("i love %s" % a)

[unkempt canyon]

@boreal ravine :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

i love apples

[boreal ravine]

first generation of f-strings

[slate swan]

That just looks like shorthand for format lol

[boreal ravine]

yes

[north quiver]

[sullen shoal]

error where

[slate swan]

share the traceback

[sullen shoal]

its ctx.send

[slate swan]

Oh yep

[maiden fable]

Ye. The last member.send won't work

Since the member won't be there in the guild

[slate swan]

You cant message a random user if you share no guilds with him its how discord works

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

Changed it. Thank you. Now it works. Just gotta tweak the code now.

[slate swan]

Good luck on your journey!

[sullen shoal]

thats why you read before judging

[slate swan]

I did read

[sullen shoal]

anyways good luck

[slate swan]

I will probably be back soon because I am not so smart but thank you.

[slate swan]

I think you ment human

[sullen shoal]

also check the examples in the repo for help

who is the someone

server owner?

[slate swan]

Pls elaborate

[sullen shoal]

gone

[slate swan]

Reduced to atoms

oof

[sullen shoal]

i think even theyre confused about what they want

[slate swan]

Maybe

so a command that tells you a user's information, similar to the ?info command in Carl bot?

[sullen shoal]

that can be achieved with different attributes of discord.User and discord.Member

[slate swan]

such as Member.created_at

Had a brain aneurysm

[sullen shoal]

the part that confused me the most was,

when I entered the server

[slate swan]

All of it

[slate swan]

Yes

It just wasnt in proper order and was misunderstood

A few commas would've helped lol

[sullen shoal]

i think now we are being very lifeless to talk about something so useless

[slate swan]

Yeah

I'm always lifeless

[wise tinsel]

8s there a 24/7 free bot host

[slate swan]

I think you ment bored

[sullen shoal]

maybe

[slate swan]

No

Idk, I just host my bot on an rpi

[slate swan]

Heroku

[wise tinsel]

Not that

[slate swan]

Not recommended

[wise tinsel]

Not replit

[slate swan]

Thats good too

[slate swan]

Why's that?
I'm aware of the limitations, so let's just assume they need it for a small bot.

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Pong! {0}'.format(round(bot.latency, 1)))

How do I pass a user ID or user @

So the command will be +ping @torn cape123123123test

[slate swan]

I mean yeah it will work but still not great

[slate swan]

You didn't give a reason

[sullen shoal]

will you host someone's project you dont know, doesnt even pay 24/7? probably wont. so why would a hosting provider do that? i'd say just buy a cheap vps

[slate swan]

.mention?

[slate swan]

Heroku isnt made for bots

[slate swan]

I will if they're nice and I'm able to

[slate swan]

no to pass the command, not member.mentio()

the command will just take +ping

I want it to take +ping then the @ user

I think its like on_member.mention idk please someone correct me

I don't think thats right

Its 2am my brain isnt quite working

[slate swan]

Yeah

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx, user):
    await ctx.send('Pong! {0}'.format(round(bot.latency, 1)))```

I think its closer to that

Can you elaborate

[sullen shoal]

typehint to discord.Member

[slate swan]

What are you looking for? The command caller?

I'm looking for the user to pass the command as well as an @
So the end-user should input: +ping @ user

Are you looking for a mention in a command i dont understand

[sullen shoal]

typehint user to discord.Member

[slate swan]

alr lemme try

[sullen shoal]

or discord.User depends on what you want to do

[slate swan]

whats the difference?

[boreal ravine]

discord.User doesn't have a latency attribute, it's only for the bot so remove user and 1

[sullen shoal]

you cant do the actions of banning, add roles and stuff

[slate swan]

I understand, thats just sample code

[slate swan]

alr ty

[slate swan]

As said: user: discord.User

I usually use Member objects so that I can use their display name

[slate swan]

Better tbh

[sullen shoal]

in a userinfo command tho, using Union is better. the command will be more powerful

[slate swan]

What the heck is Union?

[sullen shoal]

by powerful, I meant that you can show avatar, name and creation date and some other stuff of people you dont know

[slate swan]

Member has a guild to it

[boreal ravine]

allows for both types

[slate swan]

I see thx

Well that messes with me

[boreal ravine]

!e

from typing import Union

def string(text: Union[str, int]):
  return text * 5

print(string("h"))
``` i have no experience with typing

[unkempt canyon]

@boreal ravine :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

hhhhh

[sullen shoal]

Union is used to typehint that it can be of different types, like

def func(key: typing.Union[int, None]): pass

here you're telling that key could either be None or int

[slate swan]

Ah so basically saying it can be a str or a int or None

Oh, its just a type hint

nvm, not confusing

[slate swan]

Just any type?

[slate swan]

Ikr

[sullen shoal]

discord.py tried to convert the parameter to the typehint if available otherwise it will pass the string to the param.
if you use Union (or the | if 3.10) it will try to convert to any of the given types, like

async def command(user: Union[discord.Role, discord.Member])```
here discord.py will first try to convert the argument to Role if successful it will continue but if not it wil convert to the next type given

if both fail it will raise error

[slate swan]

Oh, thats interesting

I dunno if I'd write it like that tho, I like knowing exactly what type I'm dealing with at all times

[boreal ravine]

|?

[slate swan]

Ikr never knew about it

I probably will never use it, but its cool information

[slate swan]

Yup

[boreal ravine]

Whats | in python

Never heard of it in python, only in some other languages

[sullen shoal]

its a new operator of python 3.10, the union operator

same as typing.Union

[slate swan]

I thought it was bitwise or

[boreal ravine]

Ah

typing.Union isn't needed anymore then?

[sullen shoal]

if 3.10 yes

[slate swan]

user:discord.User

this returns [<User id=477266267175256125 name='Neth' discriminator='6000' bot=False>]
Any way for it to return just the ID

[sullen shoal]

bitwise or is || iirc

[boreal ravine]

id attr

[slate swan]

is that just .id?

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.User.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.id

The user’s unique ID.

[slate swan]

alr ty

[boreal ravine]

yes

[boreal ravine]

Hey @hushed siren!

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

[sullen shoal]

this link works, https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#pep-604-new-type-union-operator

[hushed siren]

b r u h

i cant send message up to 2k messages

[slate swan]

Gn!

[sullen shoal]

gn

[boreal ravine]

!paste

[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]

If the message is 2k characters discord turns it to a txt.file

[boreal ravine]

gn

[hushed siren]

yes it did

but the bot deleted it

okay anyways here is my problem

so im trying to make an reaction role command and everything works fine but when its time to give me the role it gives me this error:

File "main.py", line 133, in on_raw_reaction_add
    await payload.member.add_roles(role)
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/member.py", line 777, in add_roles
    await req(guild_id, user_id, role.id, reason=reason)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

and here is the code:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iqakuhuyij.sql

[sullen shoal]

role is None

uh ngl the website's theme is really bad

[hushed siren]

yea its kinda blue and kinda green

[boreal ravine]

you haven't seen hastebin before?

[sullen shoal]

i have

[slate swan]

This is why I don't miss prefix commands

string manipulation is a hassle

[hushed siren]

but there is an role?

[slate swan]

Hmmmm, tbh idk dpy enough to help

I'd test with checking the object type of role

raise UserNotFound(argument) discord.ext.commands.errors.UserNotFound: User "asdasd" not found.

How am I able to inform the user that they have entered invalid syntax / the wrong user?

is that just error hadnling?

[sullen shoal]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

[slate swan]

ty

[hushed siren]

it gives message

but not the role

[slate swan]

check the type of the role object

[hushed siren]

okay

[bright palm]

Nah its |

[slate swan]

and check the name of selected_role so that you know you've done your string formatting right

[sullen shoal]

oh

[slate swan]

Hey

can u help me if u are experienced

[keen talon]

just ask

😬

[slate swan]

I need like the bot to give a role if someone says the line -"I am a fool"

If he says that he should be given the fool role which i have made

[keen talon]

use on_message event

what lib are you using

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[slate swan]

can u tell the script

i am kinda new

[sullen shoal]

no spoonfeed

[slate swan]

bruh

[slate swan]

just tell

[keen talon]

how do I hide a command from the help command, I used hidden=True , is_hidden=True but it didn't work

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.help_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.help\_command

The help command implementation to use. This can be dynamically set at runtime. To remove the help command pass None. For more information on implementing a help command, see Help Commands.

[sullen shoal]

not recommended.

[keen talon]

!d discord.ext.commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.command

@discord.ext.commands.command(name=..., cls=..., **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or if called with [`group()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.group "discord.ext.commands.group"), [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group").

By default the `help` attribute is received automatically from the docstring of the function and is cleaned up with the use of `inspect.cleandoc`. If the docstring is `bytes`, then it is decoded into [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") using utf-8 encoding.

All checks added using the [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") & co. decorators are added into the function. There is no way to supply your own checks through this decorator.

[sullen shoal]

if you want to customize your help command, https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#ext-commands-help-command

[slate swan]

@sullen shoalcan u plz tell the script

[sullen shoal]

    @commands.is_owner()
    async def stop(self, ctx):
        """Make the bot go offline"""
        await ctx.send(embed=nextcord.Embed(description="**Closing bot in 1 sec**", colour=nextcord.Colour.random()))
        time.sleep(1)
        await self.Intensity.close()

[sullen shoal]

:/

[keen talon]

wit , I will check the repo once

[slate swan]

[boreal ravine]

it's supposed to not show

[keen talon]

yeah

[keen talon]

this is the wrong channel man

[sullen shoal]

tts discord bot or what

[slate swan]

text to speech

yes

[keen talon]

u can't do that ig

[slate swan]

yes you can

[sullen shoal]

you can with knowledge of it

[keen talon]

[sullen shoal]

thats it

[slate swan]

how do you know @sullen shoal

[sullen shoal]

its possible

[slate swan]

do you have any code
