discord-bots

[kind wind]

I have it on the normal code

[slate swan]

Ight

so it's not roleid in the code

nice

[kind wind]

no

[slate swan]

then.... do you have intents?

[kind wind]

why the codes doesn't work tho

[slate nymph]

For people who are demotivating sherlock did not learn dpy in a day did they?

[slate swan]

Did you actually add the role id

[kind wind]

have what?

[maiden fable]

I started with dpy on my first day of Python

[kind wind]

yes

[slate swan]

indents*

[slate swan]

!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]

Ok

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

It's not about d.py. He is literally trying to code bots in discord.py on his first day in Python. That's bad practice.

intents are different stuff

[slate nymph]

makes sense but still

[slate swan]

Intents is the permission so the bot sees other members

[kind wind]

no i dont

[slate swan]

stop correcting me newbie

Not indents

[slate nymph]

oh icic

[maiden fable]

Don't blame me haha

[kind wind]

i use replit to code it

[sullen shoal]

wasnt it hard and all spaghetti tho

[slate swan]

lemme get something for u

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Ye. My first bot was an on_message bot which would spam a channel if I sent even one single message in it 🤣

[slate swan]

some people are able to do it, but most will find it extremely hard and frustrating

[maiden fable]

Facts

[sullen shoal]

all

[slate nymph]

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

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

• The machines are super underpowered.

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

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

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

• Repl.it uses an ephemeral file system.

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

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

Please avoid using repl.it to host your bot. It's not worth the trouble.

[slate swan]

so we both copy tags now

mmhmm

[slate nymph]

xd

[slate swan]

People already experienced with Ruby, LUA, etc probably can jump right into it without finding it that hard

[slate swan]

Or heroku*

[slate nymph]

yes

[kind wind]

do I have to import

[slate swan]

no

the picture I just sent has everything

[slate nymph]

get aws 1 year free trial

[sullen shoal]

because they are experienced, all they need to know is the syntax

[slate swan]

Yeah

[slate swan]

not in python

[kind wind]

Error

[slate swan]

python's discord lib is a lot more experienced than that

[slate swan]

Ruby and LUA are very similar to Python. They'll just need to brush up on some basics which they can do in an hour or two, and then jump right into d.py.

[sullen shoal]

its all objects and classes and nothing

[slate swan]

Source: I know both py and rb

[slate nymph]

it depends on popularity

[kind wind]

error.

[sullen shoal]

however using the decorators might take some time

[slate nymph]

some pro ruby programmer could make a discord api wrapper

[slate swan]

Says it in the traceback

[slate swan]

dev portal

I sent u the picture

[slate swan]

Even an intermediate will be able to program a simple API wrapper, though not one with a lot of features (such as d.py or d.rb)

[slate nymph]

Yes def

[kind wind]

i didnt slap the ticks

[slate swan]

slap them

[slate nymph]

hats off to danny

[kind wind]

I slapped em

[sullen shoal]

for the structure this good

[kind wind]

now no error but not sure if works

[slate nymph]

js is currently leading at discord bots

[sullen shoal]

however the cogs could have been a little better

[kind wind]

I tried making 2 @bot.command in 1 file but I came upon an error

[slate swan]

is there anything js isn't good at

[kind wind]

actually I tried to make a help command but it said that, that already existed

I am 100% sure I havent made any help commands yet

[slate swan]

it does defaultly

[kind wind]

why

[sullen shoal]

!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.

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(help_command=None)

would solve it

or doing it the right way just like Myxi's tag says

[kind wind]

where will i put dat

[sullen shoal]

you dont need to suffer from all that

[slate swan]

Ok none would be able to help can u send a tutorial for the bot basics a link or something

[maiden fable]

🤣 this is what happens when u have the guilds scope in your OAuth URL

[slate nymph]

lol

[sullen shoal]

just use the class

[slate swan]

think

in your client/bot definition

[slate swan]

you either put the kwarg there or make a help command the right way

[kind wind]

[maiden fable]

Hehe those are my guilds' info

[slate swan]

Yeah ik

[sullen shoal]

hecker

[maiden fable]

Ye

[sullen shoal]

make the text green tho

[maiden fable]

Why tho

[slate swan]

so hecker

Bro the 😊 face in the middle of the code😭

[sullen shoal]

it will look hecker

[slate swan]

hello sherlock

Can Someone send me a tutorial?

[maiden fable]

mf also sent my email id 🤣

[sullen shoal]

replit discord bot tutorial

[maiden fable]

He is my dad...

[sullen shoal]

wha

[maiden fable]

Yea...

[slate swan]

[sullen shoal]

💀

[slate swan]

H e l l o,

A n y o n e?

[maiden fable]

Why you even say that 😭

[kind wind]

how can I send embeds

pops up !d command

[sullen shoal]

😔

[maiden fable]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[maiden fable]

embed kwarg

@sullen shoal answer meeeeeeeee

[slate swan]

Best thing.

!d help

[sullen shoal]

im sorry i gotta be careful about my words now 😔

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

||It was a joke 🤣||

But that is a fact. Be careful with your words

[slate swan]

So hes your brother

💀

[maiden fable]

Nahhhhhhhhh

Idek him

[slate swan]

Your grandfather

[maiden fable]

@sullen shoal sorry for that ;-;

[slate swan]

Lmao

Hey, why does

get(bot.guilds, id=741774567907******)

return None?

[sick birch]

perhaps the *

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Client.get_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_guild

get_guild(id, /)```
Returns a guild with the given ID.

[sick birch]

either that or invalid ID

[slate swan]

nah I didnt use *** actually

I am so ded

[sick birch]

instead you could just do bot.get_guild()

[slate swan]

ohh I could try that yes

[sick birch]

afaik get probably has O(n^2) and bot.get_guild() is just O(1)

[sullen shoal]

np

[slate swan]

still returns None

[slate swan]

Then it couldn't find it ig

[sick birch]

your intents are probably not set right then

[slate swan]

hm

[slate swan]

Prob

[kind wind]

if i code it through Visual Studio Code then the bot will be always online??

[slate swan]

oh thats possible

[slate nymph]

huh

[sick birch]

the bot will be online as long as your script is running

[slate swan]

No who said that?

Im zsed to my old bot having all intents

[sick birch]

visual studio code is at a very basic level a text editor

[slate swan]

Its not like replit

[kind wind]

then how do I make the script run forever

[sick birch]

if you want your bot to always be online either buy a raspberry pi, or a good VPS both of which you cost you money

[slate swan]

Get a vps

[slate swan]

Bingo

[sick birch]

raspberry pi has a heavy initial downpay, but it's worth it after you pay off the initial investment. VPS will be a per-month basis often. AWS afaik charges you on cents/hour of uptime

[kind wind]

If I put my computer into sleep mode will the script still running?

[slate swan]

Yeah

[sick birch]

depends on the ACPI power state

[slate swan]

HAHA yes I forgot discord.Intents.all() thanks a lot

[sick birch]

S4/S5 probably won't run

S3 is doubtful

[slate swan]

wow...

it still returns None

[sick birch]

assuming your intents are correct, then the ID is invalid

[cinder horizon]

Code:-

async with ctx.typing():
      subreddit = reddit.subreddit(sub)
      all_subs=[]
      top = subreddit.top(limit=50)
      for submission in top:
        all_subs.append(submission) 
        random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)
        name = random_sub.title
        url = random_sub.url
        author = random_sub.author
        author_link = f"https://www.reddit.com/user/{author}/"
        postid = random_sub.id

        embed = discord.Embed(title = name, url = url, color=0xf80707, timestamp=ctx.message.created_at)
        embed.set_image(url=url)
        embed.add_field(name="Post author:", value=f"/u/[{author}]({author_link})")
        embed.add_field(name="Post Id:", value=postid)
        embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {ctx.author.name}", icon_url = ctx.author.avatar_url)

Error:-

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

[kind wind]

(i have a laptop) the battery died so its always with the charger so does that make it run when the pc goes to sleep mode? (no turning off)

[sick birch]

really depends on the acpi power state like i said

different computers go into different states on sleep, try it and see if it works

[slate swan]

File "/home/container/main.py", line 44, in <module>
    print(f"[L] Support Guild: {supportguild.name} -/- {supportguild.id}")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

the ID is correct

[sick birch]

if i were to guess your reddit variable is set to something else

i.e you have multiple reddit variables

maybe it's in your command argument that takes in a subreddit name?

[cinder horizon]

i gave tht sub

[sick birch]

odd, can you post full traceback?

[cinder horizon]

this...wud make sense...lemme see

[slate swan]

wait if I copy the id on pc its...

741774567907000391

And on mobile

741774567907000391

It is the correct ID

Wait Ill change to bot.get_guild again

I just dont kinda like those API calls

[sullen shoal]

test

get_guild gets it from cache, fetch_guild will cost an api call afaik

[slate swan]

OH it was fetch_guild that did the API call?

Uh

[slate swan]

fetch() always does a api call

Well then I switched something lmao

I remember something like that did an API call so I thought it was get_guild lmao

get() takes from the bots cache if none then it wont do anything

Anybody know why sometimes stuff isnt in the bots cache like a channel id?

Maybe because the cache is at the limit?

Prob

I mean you can change the cache limit in Client()

Default should be 1000

iirc

[sage otter]

No :oogh: that’s not how that works.

[slate swan]

Please explain

[slate swan]

Was just a thought, thats why maybe

[sage otter]

A user won’t be in the bots cache if the member isn’t in any of the bots guilds.

[slate swan]

Well anyways get_guild() still returns None

[sage otter]

Guess your bots not in that guild

[slate swan]

No like sometimes stuff isnt in the bots cache

So you have to fetch it

[sage otter]

Well actually hold on.

[slate swan]

my code is

supportguild = bot.get_guild(741774567907000391)

[sage otter]

You might be right here. Just thought about the max_messages kwarg in the Bot init.

[slate swan]

You forgot await

[kind wind]

if I want to code it in VSC i need to make the poetry.lock and the pyproject.toml files in my folder?

[slate swan]

ohhh

[sage otter]

No poetry is just an optional package manager

[slate swan]

makes sense

[sage otter]

You can just use pip

[sage otter]

Wait what. No

You don’t await get methods

[slate swan]

oof its not in a function...

[slate swan]

Doesnt that need await?

[sage otter]

No

All the get methods and functions are sync

[slate swan]

Like its ... a global var

I swear it did

no

fetch does

get doesn't

;-;

get() definetly doesnt thats what I know

Why does my bot have await before get() and still work😭

Depends if the function is sync or async

But

[kind wind]

Why I get "Warnings" (yellow lines) when I want to import discord

import discord #<-- yellow line
from discord.exe #<-- yellow line

[slate swan]

get isnt async

[quick gust]

do you have discord installed on your pc?

[slate swan]

Is discord installed?

pip install discord

[slate swan]

Its async ofc

replit user there

[kind wind]

warnings

[slate swan]

that should show a error like py TypeError: object User can't be used in 'await' expression lol

[quick gust]

do pip install discord

[lament mesa]

install the library

[slate swan]

Never has

[kind wind]

cmd?

[quick gust]

yeah

[slate swan]

Its in a corountine so maybe its that

[slate swan]

get ain't async

[slate swan]

Yeah ik he wasnt asking that

oh

[fallen mica]

How can I delete a message with only a message ID?

[kind wind]

pip is not recognized as an internal or external command.

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

get_user is not a coro

so i tried this thingy on jishaku py await _bot.get_user(_ctx.author.id)
and got this error py TypeError: object User can't be used in 'await' expression

[quick gust]

install pip lol

[slate nymph]

have you put python in environment variables?

[slate swan]

No i ment bot get channel

[slate nymph]

if not

[slate swan]

no get function is a coro

[kind wind]

I just downloaded python 3.10.0

[slate swan]

even get_channel aint , a normal def will result into same error

[slate swan]

No

[slate swan]

did you click on 'add pip to path'?

[slate nymph]

py -m pip install discord.py

[slate swan]

It hasnt😭

[slate nymph]

dont install discord

install discord.py

[kind wind]

something downloading

[slate swan]

owh , maybe your error handler eats up that error , or that part never got executed

[slate nymph]

yes

[slate swan]

Doesnt have one😭

And it actually gets the channel with no error

👀 now im interested in seeing that code , could you?

[slate swan]

Cant😔

get() is a sync function, even the docs say that 😆

[slate swan]

oh nevermind then

Anyways my problem is still not solved ):

[kind wind]

I am using an old pip

version 21.2.3

[slate nymph]

update it then

[kind wind]

..

[slate swan]

your problem?

[kind wind]

...h-

[slate nymph]

pip install --upgrade pip

[kind wind]

not recognized

[slate nymph]

py -m pip install --upgrade pip

[trim meadow]

Help, there's no spaces on my embed message, and i wanna add 1 space between each field i add. How do i do that?

[sick birch]

You can't. Discord embeds are quite limiting

unless you mean putting them on seperate lines

In which case, you can pass in the inline=False argument into the discord.Embed object

[slate swan]

This is the line but it still works with no error

c = await bot.get_channel(b).send(embed=embed1)

[sage otter]

because send is a coro

:oogh:

[slate swan]

yeah so its basically await a TextChannel.send()

[kind wind]

it uninstalled it but didnt say anything that it installed it

now it did

[slate swan]

if you would just get the channel , that would be an error xd

😭

[night jay]

.embed add_field(name, value, inline=True)

[slate swan]

Makes more sense😭

[slate nymph]

i recommend installing the beta version

but it requires git

[slate swan]

Nice emoji

[kind wind]

nah im good

now will it work

[slate nymph]

beta version has select menus and buttons

[slate nymph]

yep

sure

[trim meadow]

no, i mean with a invisible character. But as far as i know, the method i tried, adds 3 spaces and not one

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=Embed.Empty, color=Embed.Empty, title=Embed.Empty, type='rich', url=Embed.Empty, description=Embed.Empty, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

[kind wind]

can i close the cmd?

[flint isle]

Hmmm

[slate nymph]

sure u can

which editor are u using?

[kind wind]

VSC

[slate nymph]

oh- alr

[sick birch]

Invisible characters are just meh and don't work on all system. My server uses some invisible characters in the channel names, it shows up as wierd boxes on my linux development machine

[kind wind]

?

[slate nymph]

close it

vscode has a terminal

you didnt need to open cmd

[kind wind]

yeah i still have the warnings

[sick birch]

hmm?

uh someone sent a scam link i think lol

[kind wind]

yeah

[slate nymph]

there is a autoban for scamlink

[kind wind]

Why this doesnt work

[slate nymph]

what did you write?

[slate swan]

pip install python

[jagged root]

me?

[kind wind]

i. already. did. that.

[slate nymph]

no

[slate swan]

LMAO

[jagged root]

it works when i remove: if "ticket." in message.channel.topic: return but i want it there

[slate nymph]

reopen vscode

[slate swan]

VDP , restart vsc after pip installing the library

[kind wind]

when i went to my folder to open it a tab opened saying "Updating Visual Studio Code"

[slate nymph]

ok

[jagged root]

Can someone help me please

[sick birch]

Sure, ask your question

[jagged root]

async def on_message(message):

            await message.channel.edit(topic="ticket.")```

Why this doesnt work

[sick birch]

Define "it doesn't work"

[flint isle]

How can I have the bot check for a reaction

[jagged root]

it does when i remove: if "ticket." in message.channel.topic: return but i want it there

[sick birch]

What doesn't work? What do you want it to do? What actually happens? What errors occur? All these are important in diagnosing issues.

[slate swan]

Do you want to check on_reaction ?

[slate nymph]

!d bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

Not in a million years.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[jagged root]

Ok

so

[slate nymph]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[slate swan]

if ticket is in the channel topic, stop the code
if ticket is not in the channel's name, return

[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]

so it is supposed to be a ticket channel or not

try making your code make sense

[sick birch]

if "ticket." is in the channel name, no commands will work there. Is that intended behaviour?

[jagged root]

I want to change channel topic and at the same time check if the channel has a specific topic and if it does return

[slate swan]

in the topic

[sick birch]

topic is name is it not?

[slate swan]

no

[sick birch]

oh okay, my bad

[slate swan]

discord-bots is the channel name

For questions and discussions relating to Discord bot development with discord.py and other relevant Python libraries.

[jagged root]

what could be the issue

[slate swan]

is the channel topic

[sick birch]

I see, gotcha

[sick birch]

We still don't know what the issue is

[jagged root]

k

[slate swan]

the problem is the logic

[flint isle]

Um I want to run the command and the following hqppen
-
[Cmd run]
Check for messages containing reaction ✅
If it has it check for reaction ☑️
(Prevents duplicate copys)
-

[jagged root]

idk how to fix it

[kind wind]

okay it opened now I can code here and it will work correctly?

[sick birch]

commands will only run in channels that have "ticket." in the description. is that what you want?

nvm it's a listen, commands will work

[jagged root]

nope

[kind wind]

wait do I have to make an .env file?

for the token

[slate swan]

and wtf is if "" in message.content.lower( ):

[slate nymph]

huh

[slate swan]

So if ✅ == True you want to check if ☑️ == True and so on? (It's not like this just to show it)

[slate nymph]

no need

[sick birch]

you don't have to

[jagged root]

so it triggers every message xdd

[slate swan]

why the if statement then

wtf

[sick birch]

it triggers every message either way

[jagged root]

yes

[slate swan]

that's a really big skill issue bro

[sick birch]

there's no point

[slate nymph]

you need that in replit

[jagged root]

oof ik

[flint isle]

I want it to make sure there is a green check but not a blue check

[jagged root]

i started days ago

[kind wind]

So I just do bot.run(os('TOKEN')) (I will put my bot's token here)

[jagged root]

so im still learning

[sick birch]

There's your mistake

[jagged root]

yea, ig

[sick birch]

You should not attempt to work with the discord.py library as a beginner, it is not meant for beginners and is an advanced library

[slate swan]

Ohh so if ✅ == True && ☑️ == False ?

no cuz I remember u being here before

[jagged root]

i left it

[flint isle]

Yes

[jagged root]

and came again

[slate swan]

I see okay. Give me a sec

[jagged root]

and i also remember u

[kind wind]

my bot isnt getting online

[sick birch]

It takes a hot minute

[slate swan]

Did you add a token?

[slate swan]

Yeah

[kind wind]

no I am dumb... OFC I DID

[sick birch]

then give it a minute or 2

[slate swan]

No need to get aggressive

[jagged root]

@sick birch Did you found the issue already?

[slate swan]

Are you using replit?

[kind wind]

no

[sick birch]

I don't know what the problem is lol

[jagged root]

Oh alright

[kind wind]

i am using Visual Studio CODE

[slate swan]

Did you make a on_ready event

[sick birch]

@kind wind your commands should still work if it doesn't show up on the online list

[slate swan]

Yeah^

[kind wind]

I went and copy pasted all my work into VSC

[sick birch]

Given you're connected to the gateway servers of course

[kind wind]

I got an "error" popup

[slate swan]

Show

[sick birch]

That would've been useful to know

[slate swan]

Ofc your bot won't run if it gets a error

[sick birch]

Why would it need .NET SDK lol

do you have any C code?

[slate swan]

Fr

[kind wind]

I have never coded a bot in python

It is my 1st time

[sick birch]

Yeah you probably shouldn't

[kind wind]

I am just telling you what I see in hope I will get it running

[sick birch]

Like I said before the discord.py library is quite a complex library and is therefore not suited for beginners

[kind wind]

bot still not up

[sick birch]

You should first have a firm understanding of intermediate Python before progressing with discord bots

[slate swan]

!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.

[sick birch]

That's not really possible without external parsing, you can however ping the role or give the ID

[slate swan]

Why is your bot var name client?

Bad practice

[sick birch]

The amount of people I see doing this lmao

[slate swan]

Same

[sick birch]

I assume they all follow those bad tutorials that use client for the commands.Bot

[slate swan]

Free code camp

[sick birch]

that or lucas or like every other garbage d.py tutorial out there

[slate swan]

Yeah

[sick birch]

good naming practices = very important

[kind wind]

Still not online

[slate swan]

Yes

[sick birch]

Can we see your code then?

[slate swan]

Did you downloaded the py ext in vsc?

[sick birch]

Ah that

[flint isle]

Did you find how to do it?

[kind wind]

pretty sure I did

[slate swan]

Nah man, sorry

[sick birch]

I assume the C# extension was the one causing the .NET error

[slate swan]

Yeah

I'm sure someone else can help you. I'm quiete busy atm

[flint isle]

Does anyone know how to check for a reaction on a message

[slate swan]

Do a check

[kind wind]

uninstalling cuz i never used C#. If I need it i will download it again

[sick birch]

good idea

[flint isle]

How do I do that?

[sick birch]

message.reactions

returns a list of discord.Reaction objects

[quick gust]

message.reactions

[sick birch]

it's either discord.Reaction or discord.Reactions i'm not fully sure

[slate swan]

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

[peak oyster]

I wrote a bot that returns a table of information. Often times, the table is more than 2k characters. Can anyone point me a direction of how to split this message into multiple responses please?

I tried the following, but I keep getting the message too long error:

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

[kind wind]

I think I found why my bot doesnt go up

I just found that I have been getting a traceback the entire time

its about the run

[sick birch]

yeah

[kind wind]

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I am not sure how this works

but how do i fix it

[slate swan]

What colorcode is this? I want to use a HTML code is that possible aswell?

[slate swan]

thank you

[peak oyster]

this is the error i'm getting:

In content: Must be 2000 or fewer in length.

[manic wing]

ffs

[lyric moat]

how do i make it show the user badge on userinfo command?

[flint isle]

Does anyone have an example on how to check for a message that has a reaction

[sick birch]

message.reactions

[flint isle]

Uhh what do I use that with

[sick birch]

if message.reactions:
  # message has reactions
else:
  # message does not have reactions

message.reactions returns a list of discord.Reaction objects, by the way

[flint isle]

Does that list messages with the reaction in the channel or what

[whole stream]

Heyy, im trying to make a music bot and im running into this issue

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'is_playing'

[sick birch]

No, it only lists the reactions of a specific message

[quick gust]

No it's a list and it won't send on it's own

[maiden fable]

YOOOO GUESS WHAT

[sick birch]

Finding all messages in a channel with a reaction would be quite time consuming

Depending on the server size of course

[flint isle]

So I have to list a message ID?

[quick gust]

Yes

[maiden fable]

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

[sick birch]

But I suppose if you wanted to loop through each message, and check if message.reactions is a falsy value you can

[quick gust]

Message intents?

[flint isle]

@sick birch

[sick birch]

you would need the message object, not the ID

[maiden fable]

Verification

[sick birch]

though you can obtain said object from the ID

[quick gust]

Ah awesome

[maiden fable]

I have also submitted for messages intent, let's see what happens

[flint isle]

How di I get object?

[sick birch]

TextChannel.get_message(ID)

fetch_message(ID) would also work if you wish to make an API request

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.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.

[maiden fable]

Nothing like this lol

[sick birch]

I know, i'm only provide psuedocode

[maiden fable]

Ah, my bad

[sick birch]

wouldn't want to spoonfeed would we haha

[maiden fable]

True hahaha

[flint isle]

So

message = await fetch_message(id=Mid)
If message.reactions:
  #message has reactions
Else
  #message as no reactions```

Would that work?

[sick birch]

no

fetch_message is a method of a discord.TextChannel object

and id doesn't have to be a keyword-argument

[fallen mica]

    @commands.command(aliases=["delete", "Delete","DELETE"])
    async def _delete(self,ctx,message_id=None,channel=None,reason=None):
        msg = await ctx.get_message(channel, message_id)
        await ctx.delete_message(msg)

        reason_channel = await ctx.get_channel(902223345217581086)

        deleted_message_embed = discord.Embed(
            title = "**Advertisement Deleted**",
            description = f"**Message ID:** {message_id} \n"
                           "**Reason:** {reason}"
            ,color = discord.Color.purple()
        )
        await ctx.send(reason_channel,embed=deleted_message_embed)

Can someone help me with this?

[sick birch]

What's the problem?

[fallen mica]

I believe most of the attributes are just wrongly used

[gloomy viper]

Who can drop the code for cleaning and get ban?

[fallen mica]

but I'm unsure which ones are the correct ones for it

[flint isle]

What?

[gloomy viper]

Please drop the ban code

And the code to clean up.

[maiden fable]

Yea, it has to be a pos arg, else it will raise an error

[flint isle]

Then what is reccomended

[fallen mica]

await ctx.guild.ban(member, reason=reason) is the code for ban

[gloomy viper]

thanks

[maiden fable]

Please don't spoonfeed

[regal shard]

Ok so I want a bot that checks after 30 mins on a website that does it have the true statement on it, if it does then I want it to send a msg in a channel saying: "Hey, {user} is now online.". is it possible? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iqalujasoq.md <-- there's my current command code

I'd need the time module and the if else statements right?

[maiden fable]

Hmm, lemme see

Okay don't use requests

It's blocking

!blocking read this embed for more information (;

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

[regal shard]

ah yes

I understand

[maiden fable]

U should use aiohttp

!d aiohttp.ClientSession

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp.ClientSession

class aiohttp.ClientSession(base_url=None, *, connector=None, cookies=None, headers=None, skip_auto_headers=None, auth=None, json_serialize=json.dumps, ...)```
The class for creating client sessions and making requests.

[regal shard]

hmm ok

[maiden fable]

Also

!d asyncio.sleep instead of time.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

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

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[regal shard]

Okok

[maiden fable]

time.sleep is blocking, not asyncio.sleep

[regal shard]

1 min

[maiden fable]

Ping me if u need any other help (:

[regal shard]

Alright

[twin moon]

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

My problem is that it doesent say any thing when the variable " who " changes (await ctx.send() just sends message)

[maiden fable]

!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)`.

[maiden fable]

Oh, hmm

[maiden fable]

Did u try printing the variable?

[twin moon]

no

[maiden fable]

Try printing it

[twin moon]

found my prob

[maiden fable]

Yay

[twin moon]

if only works once :((((((

im stupid

[maiden fable]

Aw

U gotta do a while True loop or something

Or multiple wait_for's inside your loop

[twin moon]

nah

just health while

[slate swan]

this might be dumb of me but as i try to create a help command it tells me there is already help command and its not a command sooooo

[maiden fable]

Cool

[quick gust]

try doing client.remove_command("help")

[maiden fable]

help_command=None in your bot constructor. Dpy makes a default help command for u haha

[regal shard]

@maiden fable hey I'm back

[twin moon]

very helpful

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.DefaultHelpCommand is what it uses by default

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.DefaultHelpCommand

class discord.ext.commands.DefaultHelpCommand(*args, **kwargs)```
The implementation of the default help command.

This inherits from [`HelpCommand`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand "discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand").

It extends it with the following attributes.

[quick gust]

or that, yeah

[regal shard]

now would you be willing to help?

[slate swan]

thanks it worke

[maiden fable]

I am always willing haha

[regal shard]

:D

[maiden fable]

Preferred is to do the bot constructor thingy tho, but okay

[regal shard]

Ok so I use asyncio and what other module?

[maiden fable]

aiohttp instead of requests
asyncio instead of time

[quick gust]

^

[maiden fable]

But

Why not just use tasks?

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

class discord.ext.tasks.Loop```
A background task helper that abstracts the loop and reconnection logic for you.

The main interface to create this is through [`loop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop "discord.ext.tasks.loop").

[regal shard]

you talking to me?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[regal shard]

idk that it even existed

[maiden fable]

It's sort of a while True loop with an asyncio.sleep at last

[regal shard]

:/

[regal shard]

hmm ok

[maiden fable]

It's fine. Click the link, there are some examples of tasks!

[regal shard]

okok

[maiden fable]

So they repeatedly do something at equal intervals of time

[slate swan]

whats the differnece

[regal shard]

Like checking a website after 30 mins?

I need this beacuse I wanna stalk my friend, he unfriended me in game

[maiden fable]

Nothing, but the bot constructor way is cleaner haha and a bit more pythonic according to me

[maiden fable]

Sure.

[sick birch]

it is cleaner, it also has more advantages

such as overriding specific methods

[maiden fable]

Yups

Suppose u add a bot command and after that call that method, then that remove command would get removed

[regal shard]

can you send me a link to the aiohttp docs?

!aiohttp

[maiden fable]

!d aiohttp

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp

Common data structures used by aiohttp internally...

[regal shard]

Thanks

[maiden fable]

!d is equal to !docs which is the docs command of @unkempt canyon

[regal shard]

Ok cool

[flint isle]

Then what would you recommend

[maiden fable]

He told u haha

[dusk dust]

how can i get banlist of a server

[sick birch]

the 2 messages i sent after

[maiden fable]

U need a TextChannel instance

[sick birch]

guild.bans

[twin moon]

while authorhealth > 0 and memberhealth > 0:
          who = randint(1,2)
          if who == 1:

I changed it like this and it still doesent work

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

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

Retrieves all the users that are banned from the guild as a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

You must have the [`ban_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.ban_members "discord.Permissions.ban_members") permission to get this information.

[regal shard]

can you do that example code thing of the aiohttp module?

[maiden fable]

What?

[regal shard]

I'll just scroll up

[maiden fable]

Uhhh, wym by that?

[regal shard]

ah yes that

[maiden fable]

Well, I don't really know about your game, but why not just use buttons and see if the user clicked the button. If he does, then break the loop

!d discord.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[twin moon]

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/fakiyigiwe.py

[dusk dust]

if i type this as:

guild = ctx.guild

await ctx.send(guild.bans)
``` work?

[regal shard]

@maiden fable Let's say, I don't want to switch over to aiohttp, I just wanna stalk 1 person am I good to use requests?

[maiden fable]

!paste can u use this please?

[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.

[sick birch]

sorry it's not a property, it's a coro

[dusk dust]

ok

[sick birch]

sorry i said it was i forgot haha

[maiden fable]

If it's a private bot, then sure

[dusk dust]

np, ty 🙂

[regal shard]

yea it's a private bot

[sick birch]

don't use it for any actual projects

[maiden fable]

Yea

[sick birch]

requests is blocking in an asynchronous environment

[twin moon]

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

[regal shard]

What about the time module do I have to switch over to asyncio?

[maiden fable]

Imagine if I use requests in my AI Chatbot which gets its responses from my API 😂

[maiden fable]

Yes.

[sick birch]

that would be bad, indeed

[maiden fable]

But

Why do that, when u can use tasks?

[regal shard]

ok

[maiden fable]

Do u know what's the best debug?

[regal shard]

I'll google an example code of tasks

[sick birch]

i think if it's just a quick and dirty tasks there's nothing wrong with going the simpler method

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop click the link

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

class discord.ext.tasks.Loop```
A background task helper that abstracts the loop and reconnection logic for you.

The main interface to create this is through [`loop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop "discord.ext.tasks.loop").

[maiden fable]

The example is there in the docs

[twin moon]

no

[regal shard]

oh well... time to read all the docs

[maiden fable]

Printing the variables which u think are causing problems and adding print statements to random lines so that u can see which line is being executed and which isn't

[slate swan]

Not a bad thing

[sick birch]

vscode has a really nice debugger as well

bit more sophisticated but it does its job well

[slate swan]

Yeah

[regal shard]

also sorry for the unrealated question, but is an iPhone 6 good in 2021?

[maiden fable]

Wait till you see other modules' docs haha

[sick birch]

subjective

[maiden fable]

Idk, I don't use iPhones

[regal shard]

F

[slate swan]

7 would be good

[regal shard]

:/

[regal shard]

I got gifted an iPhone 6

[sick birch]

!ot tho

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channels

There are three off-topic channels:
• #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare
• #ot1-perplexing-regexing
• #ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

Their names change randomly every 24 hours, but you can always find them under the OFF-TOPIC/GENERAL category in the channel list.

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[slate swan]

7 plus would do you great

[maiden fable]

How to use that debugger tho? Isn't that only for interpreting errors?

[slate swan]

Hey everyone

[regal shard]

just asking

[slate swan]

Not bad either

[regal shard]

:D

[sick birch]

you can keep track of stack calls & variable values at certain times

[slate swan]

Pretty good for simple stuff and not hardcore gaming

[twin moon]

random lines ?

[maiden fable]

Isn't that only at those times when there is an error?

[regal shard]

coroutine is this read as co routine?

[flint isle]

Error: confuses me

[sick birch]

nah you can use it whenever

[regal shard]

I don't play mobile games, when I have a good PC

[slate swan]

Yeah

[maiden fable]

Like print statements with random things (preferably numbers), every 2 lines or something so thT u know which are being executed

[slate swan]

Then youll be a o k

[maiden fable]

How? U mean adding a Breakpoint?

[regal shard]

tho discord lags

[sick birch]

nah theres a little thing on the left that shows what values variables are currently

[slate swan]

Yeah it will a bit

[sick birch]

i don't really use it though (old habits die hard ) haha

[maiden fable]

Idk that comes up for me only when there's a runtime error 😂

[sick birch]

oh weird, it's the 3rd button from the top on the left bar

you can pull it up anytime

[twin moon]

so you want to tell me I listened to you?

[maiden fable]

Nono I mean, the variables and their values are shown only when there is an error. The tab is always there

[regal shard]

@maiden fable I a m c o n f u s e d

[maiden fable]

Wym

[sick birch]

it shows even when there are no errors, go figure haha

[regal shard]

I d o n ' t u n d e r s t a n d t h e d o c s .

[flint isle]

What's up with this error

[regal shard]

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]

async def my_background_task():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    channel = client.get_channel(id=909981604129157181)
    while not client.is_closed():
        await channel.send('\n'.join(C))
#print(str(channel.last_message.content))
        await asyncio.sleep(200)```

I want to send message every x seconds but I don't want the bot to spam the same message. (C) can varry. How do I make the bot read it's previous message while in a loop so I could send a new message only if its a different one..

[maiden fable]

It's a type of channel

[twin moon]

you said I should do that

[regal shard]

#909981604129157181

:troll:

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Yea, u should print the variables and add print statements (debug prints) so thT u can see which lines are being executed and what are the variables values

[regal shard]

:/ flex

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

U gotta save the message in a variable, like message = await ctx.send()

[regal shard]

I remember the time I had nitro

[twin moon]

how?

[maiden fable]

print(var-name)...

[sick birch]

Simple print statements

[slate swan]

w h a t

[sick birch]

It helps you know which parts of your code are running and which aren’t

[maiden fable]

That wasn't for u lol

[regal shard]

@maiden fable could you send an example of what I should do to use tasks in my code? here's my code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iqalujasoq.py

[stuck prism]

Ik this is the wrong server but anyone here who can help me with hosting a discrod bot written in kotlin and java i have the source code

[slate swan]

so ctx is going to be that message I send? I could just do print ctx and it would print the message content the bot send?

[maiden fable]

Leave tasks... Just do a while True loop lol

[maiden fable]

Nonono

ctx is from your command

[regal shard]

Use epikhost

[sick birch]

Get a VPS

[regal shard]

if u want I can dm link

it's free

[slate swan]

there're no commands its a loop

[stuck prism]

Yes please

[sick birch]

AWS is arguable the best hosting service in the world

[regal shard]

big words, I don't understand

:D

[maiden fable]

Then u r doing channel.send()?

U can just do message = await channel.send() then haha

sometimes this channel is overloaded, but sometimes dead asf

[regal shard]

^^

[slate swan]

kek

[slate swan]

big brain moment

[maiden fable]

@sick birch can ya help him please? I am already sleepy since it's past 12 here 😐

[maiden fable]

No lol. Sort Of Basic Python

[regal shard]

Just goto sleep then

[twin moon]

the problem is it not repeating the while even though the statement is true

[slate swan]

ikr

[maiden fable]

Tf?

[maiden fable]

Yea, gonna go in 8 min haha

Gonna be 12:30 then

[regal shard]

I see

[maiden fable]

Sorry OTTER, I don't really know what could be wrong, I am on a mobile, so can't really help with big codes rn, sorry

[cerulean bridge]

best host to use with discord bot

?

[maiden fable]

AWS

[regal shard]

and @sick birch's offline

[slate swan]

how can i add a command alias

[twin moon]

does disc py allow while loops that are long? stupid question

[maiden fable]

Not for me tho

[maiden fable]

Yea....?

[maiden fable]

!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.

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.aliases

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.aliases

The list of aliases the command can be invoked under.

[sullen shoal]

looks like you're doing,

import discord
discord()```
kind of thing somewhere in your code. tracebacks help to find the place

[regal shard]

@(ur thing).command(aliases='')

[slate swan]

ok

[maiden fable]

Oh add

[kind wind]

that is fixed

[maiden fable]

Nvm, my bad 🤦

I am really sleepy, gn

[regal shard]

Good night

[quick gust]

it should be aliases=["alias1", "alias2"]

[slate swan]

Gn g

[slate swan]

hm but then I get ALL the data from the message not just content. What's the best method to extract content from it? Regex find?

[slate swan]

you get a .Message object

which has the .content attribute

so you can just do message.content

which will return the message's content

read the docs https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message

thanks I just wanted to ask for docs

👍

[sullen shoal]

discord.Guild.roles will return a list of discord.Role of the guild. You can iterate through the list and use in statement (not sure if its called statement) to check if role name is in the message content. If it is, add the current element of the iteration to target

[slate swan]

nvm this method wouldn't work anyway because it's referenced before assignment

[sullen shoal]

ok

[jagged root]

how can i do so bot edits a channel name only by adding 2 numbers
for example from ticket-1111 to ticket-111122

[sullen shoal]

database

[jagged root]

oof

[sullen shoal]

the crap way would be to iterate through the list of channels of the guild then find the channel with the highest number then add 2 to it then do whatever you want

[jagged root]

very hard to me...

[sullen shoal]

so use a database

[jagged root]

i dont even know how to start so i wont be able

[twin moon]

Str it and add 22 then int it

[jagged root]

hm¿?

[twin moon]

ticket = str(ticket)
ticket += "22"

[regal shard]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iqalujasoq.py ok so I want to make a command that when I say ,stalk (Username) it should goto the hyperlands api website and check if there is the word "True" if there is I want it to Send a DM to me, if it didn't find it I want it to wait 30 mins and try again

[river kindle]

im making a ticket system but doesn't work

async def ticket(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = 'Ticket system',
        description = 'React :envelope_with_arrow: to make a ticket.',
        color = 0
    )

    embed.set_footer(text="ticket system")

    msg = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    await msg.add_reaction(":envelope_with_arrow:")
    reaction = await msg.fetch_message(msg.id)


    await client.wait_for("reaction_add")



    await client.wait_for("reaction_add")

    if reaction == ':envelope_with_arrow:':
        await guild.create_text_channel(name=f'ticket - {reaction.author.name}')```

[sick birch]

yeah sorry what's the problem @regal shard

[sullen shoal]

bruh

[sick birch]

i'm at school so i went offline haha

[slate swan]

When do you guys recommend jumping to another programming language and what do you guys recommend i thought about c# or js

[river kindle]

need some help+

[twin moon]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ebigoxigur.py it doesn't repeat saying who's turn it is

[sullen shoal]

I would say knowing about objects, classes, OOP is enough

then you just need some cheatsheet to jump

[sick birch]

it seems like these days everyone and their mother use javascript, knowing a good bit of that will come in handy

[slate swan]

I see when should i jump?

[sick birch]

whenever you want there's really nothing stopping you from doing it

[regal shard]

Sorry for late reply

[slate swan]

I thought when i feel ready or when i need it because i dont want to learn it without using it because ill forget it

[regal shard]

I was alsp afk lemme get it

[river kindle]

heeyy someone can help me please

[regal shard]

could you send an example of what I should do to use tasks in my code? here's my code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iqalujasoq.py

[sick birch]

personally i got bored with python for a while, i have phases like that, i was learning stuff with JS then like electron and node

[regal shard]

F

[sick birch]

that's great, applying the skills you learn is just as important as learning them

[regal shard]

I only know python, autohotkey, and a little bit of HTML

[sullen shoal]

that 34 lines of code looks like it is begging for using dataclasses

[regal shard]

:/

[slate swan]

Just wanna learn js cause i wanna be a backend software engineer and i feel like i would need it

[sick birch]

yep, learn node, express, react/angular/vue/svlete

and hey you can also make discord bots in js 😉

[slate nymph]

@bot.user_command(name="pp",alias="penis")
async def pp(ctx,member=None):
    member = discord.Member or ctx.author
    await ctx.send(":eggplant: Looking in your pants ...", delete_after=2)
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    sizes = ['=', '==', '===', '====', '=====', '======', '=======', '========', '=========', '==========', '===========', '============']
    pp = random.choice(sizes)
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Penis size", description=f"{member.name}'s penis size is:\n8{pp}D",color=discord.Colour.red())
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[sullen shoal]

please use the random module more

[regal shard]

pp

[sick birch]

😂

[slate nymph]

Is that a bug?

[regal shard]

change member.name to {discord.Member.name}

[sick birch]

also string multiplication is a thing

[regal shard]

Robin mate can you help me now?

[slate nymph]

no way

[sick birch]

print("="*5)

Output

=====

[slate nymph]

idc

[regal shard]

!e

print("="*5)

[unkempt canyon]

@regal shard :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

=====

[regal shard]

:D

[sick birch]

yep

!e

print("="*random.randint(1, 10))

hmph

[slate nymph]

no if thats so then ctx.author will result in an error

member is discord.Member or ctx.author

[regal shard]

;-;

[sick birch]

!e

import random
print("="*random.randint(1, 10))

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

=========

[sick birch]

see?

no need to use dicts with that it makes it easier

[slate nymph]

hmm

thats a great idea

[sick birch]

it really is

[slate nymph]

tysm

[sullen shoal]

idk i kinda want to do this idk why

[sick birch]

string multiplication does that to you 😂

[sullen shoal]

!e

print("="*__import__("random").randint(0,10))```

[unkempt canyon]

@sullen shoal :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

==========

[sullen shoal]

idk why i did that tho

[regal shard]

@sick birch

[sick birch]

why do you need tasks for this

[regal shard]

idk I Hunting the hunter said I should use tasks for it

[sick birch]

well from your code i doubt you need tasks

you just need to organize stuff better

[regal shard]

can u help?

[sullen shoal]

it needs a dataclass thats it

[pine ocean]

Why discord turns russian symbols into Дура
I post request to api/v9/channels/example/message

[sick birch]

sure i'll try my best

[regal shard]

:D

Thanks

[sick birch]

notice how bedwars stats are in ['stats']['bedwars']

[regal shard]

yea?

[sick birch]

you can do something like:

bedwars = stats['stats']['bedwars']
bedwars_wins = bedwars['wins']

you can apply that to everything else

[regal shard]

Good idea

[sick birch]

because you're repeating things a lot

[regal shard]

true

[sick birch]

also add some line breaks between the different gamemodes

bedwars should be in one chunk, skywars in another, etc...

[regal shard]

The code isn't meant to be public, + I can read it fine

extra work

:(

[sick birch]

aight then not an issue

[regal shard]

ok so how would I make it check it every 30 mins

[sick birch]

tasks

[regal shard]

yes but what is that? 🤔

[sick birch]

though why would you do that

why not just update it whenever someone runs the cmd

[regal shard]

but I want it to be a stalking cmd

[sick birch]

so just run the stats command

each time it's run it will make a request to the hypixel api

[regal shard]

*hyperlands

[sick birch]

sorry

[regal shard]

Nah it's fine

[sick birch]

but yeah it should return the updated info

[regal shard]

yes I know that

[sick birch]

unless you want it to be like constantly updated in one message

[regal shard]

but since my friend unfriended me from there, I don't know when he is online I just wanna stalk his profile

[sick birch]

kinda like a timer but with stats

[sick birch]

yeah just run the command whenever you wanna stalk his profile

[regal shard]

:/

[slate swan]

What is the best thing for a music system or does disnake come with it? I don't see anything relating to music on the disnake api.

[regal shard]

I-

I'm not online most of the time

[bronze pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-hart-say-what-stare-blink-really-gif-12005301

[sick birch]

i mean if you really really wanted to

you can just run it once

and always check it it will have the latest info

[regal shard]

I already have a command like that

I just want it to send me a msg when he comes online

[sullen shoal]

there's not official support for illegal stuff like that so you gotta lookup github projects and stuff

[regal shard]

not wanna rethink life choices :/

[sick birch]

ohhhh

i get it now 😂

Exmaple from the docs

[bronze pilot]

ouch that's a shame. Love youtubedl

[regal shard]

it's almost been 2 hours since I started asking for help :D

[sick birch]

this will run the printer function every 5 seconds

you can adapt it to what you want

[regal shard]

okok

[sick birch]

i.e set it to 30 minutes

@tasks.loop(minutes=30)

anything within that function will be run every 30 minutes

[regal shard]

oh yes

that's good

[sick birch]

if you find out that your friend is online, have it ping you or DM you or whatever

1 question

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.on_member_update this event will be triggered whenever a user changes the following but not limited to:

status (online, offline, dnd, idle)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_update

discord.on_member_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• nickname

• roles

• pending...

[regal shard]

I'm not using cogs + have never used them in my entire life

[sick birch]

they're talking about their status on minecraft, not on discord

[dapper cobalt]

I didn't complete the message. However, you may read it in the docs.

[regal shard]

could you make it so that it's without cogs

[dapper cobalt]

What does that have to do with discord.py, though?

[sick birch]

they want their bot to be able to alert them when a specific player is online on mc

[dapper cobalt]

You may learn about them in this repository. https://github.com/ScopesCodez/discordpy-cogs

[sick birch]

not really sure, check out the tasks documentation tho

[regal shard]

it get's it from the hyperlands api
