discord-bots

[jade crater]

define client as discord.Client

[lethal moat]

oh yeah he forgot to do that too

[slate swan]

delete the image , it has your token ( in case you already didnt regen it)

thanks, just realized

[lethal moat]

🥲

[lethal moat]

regenerate your token

[slate swan]

Nice profile picture haha

[lethal moat]

add
client = discord.Client
just below
import discord

also your indentation is still wrong... check the if statements

after fixing that, try running the bot then

[jade crater]

Lmao

[lethal moat]

his name is a reference to the state of his code

[velvet tinsel]

how to get timezone of ctx.author using the pytz module?

[slate swan]

i cant sem to fix the indentation

[velvet tinsel]

it keeps saying I have to use UTC

[quick gust]

@slate swan I suggest learning the basic python syntax first....

[velvet tinsel]

bruh

@client.event
async def ...

[slate swan]

how did i not see that...

[supple thorn]

👁️

[velvet tinsel]

it's simple

you need to learn basic python syntax

[slate swan]

where can i learn that?

[velvet tinsel]

jumping to the harder stuff = not recommended

[velvet tinsel]

just find a basic tutorial

[jade crater]

corey shafer or smth

[slate swan]

aight then, thanks for the help

[jade crater]

explains things pretty good

[lethal moat]

please ffs

Is there an on_member_connect_voice_channel event?

[jade crater]

!d discord.on_voice_state_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_voice\_state\_update

discord.on_voice_state_update(member, before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") changes their [`VoiceState`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceState "discord.VoiceState").

The following, but not limited to, examples illustrate when this event is called...

[jade crater]

@lapis frigate this maybe

[lapis frigate]

thnks

*thanks

[simple surge]

hello

i have a problem with discord.py

i am trying to use slash commands

[quick gust]

https://nohello.net

[simple surge]

ok sorry

[quick gust]

library?

[simple surge]

it only works in one server

but the others doesnt

[jade crater]

What library are you using

[quick gust]

what library first of all

[lethal moat]

!d discord.Interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[lethal moat]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[jade crater]

wot

[simple surge]

discord_slash

the slash commands one

[lethal moat]

need it for buttons, nothing speciial

[jade crater]

Show me your bot variable

[simple surge]

client

[jade crater]

cool, cool but next time in #bot-commands 😉

[simple surge]

one sec ill send code

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
prefix = 'z!'
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='z!', intents=intents)
slash= SlashCommand(client,sync_commands=True)

@slash.slash(
    name="test",
    description="description"
)
async def test(ctx:SlashContext):
    await ctx.send("it worked!!!")
client.run(token)

[quick gust]

well I don't know this library so can't help, but afaik slash commands take ~1 hour to update globally so maybe it's that

again, not sure

[simple surge]

that might be the problem

[jade crater]

what does sync_commands do

[simple surge]

cause it only works on 1 server

[simple surge]

tbh idk 😂

[jade crater]

smh

[summer flume]

what im doing wrong?

      hl = ctx.guild.channels
      takeguild = discord.Guild.channels(list[hl])

      await takeguild.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, send_messages = False)
      emb = discord.Embed(title = "Server Lockdown 🔒", description = f"**{ctx.guild.name}** is now locked.", color = discord.Color.red())
      emb.add_field(name = "Message", value = message, inline = True)
      emb.set_footer(text = f"Locked by {ctx.author}")
      await ctx.channel.purge(limit = 1)
      await ctx.guild.channels.send(embed = emb)

[jade crater]

discord.Guild.channels is wrong

your not supposed to use the class

your supposed to use the object/instance of discord.Guild.channels

[summer flume]

hm

[jade crater]

Just do a for loop for the guilds' channels

[summer flume]

alright

[jade crater]

for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels:
  ...

since discord.Guild.text_channels returns a list your bot is gonna change every text channel till it's done

[summer flume]

okay

[daring olive]

hello, there is no recruitment or offers/asking for paid work of any kind on the server. please check #rules

[summer flume]

thanks!

[lapis frigate]

when I leave the channel in on_voice_state_update the code does not recognize that I was in the channel
this is my code:

async def on_voice_state_update(member, before, after):
    if before.channel==None:
        before_members=[]
    else:
        before_members=before.channel.members
    if after.channel==None:
        after_members=[]
    else:
        after_members=after.channel.members
    print(before_members)
    print(after_members)
    print(before.channel)
    print(after.channel)
    if before_members!=after_members:
        if member in before_members and member not in after_members:
            channel=client.get_channel(889215576487120956)
            await channel.send(f"{member.mention} leave the voice")
        elif member in after_members and member not in before_members:
            channel=client.get_channel(889215576487120956)
            await channel.send(f"{member.mention} joined the voice")```
when i joined it's work

[lone aurora]

um hey, do you know how I could get a list of all the roles in a server?

[brave moth]

hey u using the discord-py-interaction package that has the slash commands?

[sage otter]

Consider docs

!d discord.Guild.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.roles

property roles: List[discord.role.Role]```
Returns a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of the guild’s roles in hierarchy order.

The first element of this list will be the lowest role in the hierarchy.

[simple surge]

pip install discord-py-slash-command

[brave moth]

yeah that one. i use this package with my bot and its works well

[simple surge]

ig i need to wait

it only work in my server

doesnt work in others

[ocean leaf]

I saw many bots having ss command and it takes the screenshot of the url provided. I also wanna make a command like that. Can anyone tell me how should I start?

[brave moth]

when inviting the bot, does it show create commands in a server?

[simple surge]

one sec

[brave moth]

and does it hav the use application commands perm enabled?

[brave moth]

what happened to the this will allow bot to page?

[simple surge]

idk

one sec again

idk

this shows up to me

[slate swan]

Add the applications.command scope to the invite link

[simple surge]

i did

[slate swan]

Apparently not

[simple surge]

with another one

ill send screenshot

[slate swan]

Should appear before that message though

[brave moth]

@simple surge go to the dc app portal, go to application, go to your bot, go to auth2, go to general and select applications.command to the scope

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=bot_id&scope=bot+applications.commands&permissions=permissions_integer

[slate swan]

Not this

[simple surge]

ok

[brave moth]

when i tried to add your bot, it didnt show an allow bot to page

[slate swan]

The message before

This one

[simple surge]

oh

no nothing showed up

[simple surge]

it shows now

it works

thanks

[brave moth]

good, now wait for about an hour for the slash cmds to load up in the servers

[simple surge]

its only in around 34 servers it doesnt rlly matter

[brave moth]

wow, 34 and mine is in 25

[slate swan]

hmm well

If the bot wasn't invited with the applications.commands scope in these servers

It won't create any slash command

[brave moth]

oh yeah

[brave flint]

um so i got a problem, i want to convert time to second with this code :
and shown error TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'dict'
can anyone tellme where is the problem

[brave moth]

act like they hav to invite it

[brave moth]

time_dict = {"h": 3600, "s": 1, "m": 60, "d": 86400}

class TimeConverter(commands.Converter):
    async def convert(self, ctx, argument):
        args = argument.lower()
        matches = re.findall(time_regex, args)
        time = 0
        for v, k in matches:
            try:
                time += time_dict[k]*float(v)
            except KeyError:
                raise commands.BadArgument(
                    "{} is an invalid time-key! h/m/s/d are valid!".format(k))
            except ValueError:
                raise commands.BadArgument("{} is not a number!".format(v))
        return time```

this is from my bot's repo

[brave flint]

well you cant spoonfeed code bro

[brave moth]

also import re and asyncio and let me know if it works

[brave flint]

but tq ill see

[brave moth]

my bot is under the mit license so...

[brave flint]

idk that too hard to learn

[lone aurora]

can anyone tell me how this would be used

[brave flint]

i think it will shown up all users on the server to the logs

[lone aurora]

oh um i mean how would it be used within the code

[brave flint]

idk for how to use

[lapis frigate]

when I leave the channel in on_voice_state_update the code does not recognize that I was in the channel
this is my code:

async def on_voice_state_update(member, before, after):
    if before.channel==None:
        before_members=[]
    else:
        before_members=before.channel.members
    if after.channel==None:
        after_members=[]
    else:
        after_members=after.channel.members
    print(before_members)
    print(after_members)
    print(before.channel)
    print(after.channel)
    if before_members!=after_members:
        if member in before_members and member not in after_members:
            channel=client.get_channel(889215576487120956)
            await channel.send(f"{member.mention} leave the voice")
        elif member in after_members and member not in before_members:
            channel=client.get_channel(889215576487120956)
            await channel.send(f"{member.mention} joined the voice")```
when i joined it's work
how i can fix that?

[maiden fable]

Try adding a print statement at the top which will print anything random to see if the code is even getting executed

[ocean leaf]

How to get the user status using discord.py? Not online or dnd. I am talking about text status

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity: Optional[Union[discord.activity.Activity, discord.activity.Game, discord.activity.CustomActivity, discord.activity.Streaming, discord.activity.Spotify]]```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information.

Note

A user may have multiple activities, these can be accessed under [`activities`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.activities "discord.Member.activities").

[maiden fable]

!d discord.CustomActivity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CustomActivity

class discord.CustomActivity(name, *, emoji=None, **extra)```
Represents a Custom activity from Discord.

x == y Checks if two activities are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the activity’s hash.

str(x) Returns the custom status text.

New in version 1.3.

[ocean leaf]

Ok thanks

[slate swan]

    if ctx.channel.category != "category name":
        return

why this if statement does not work?

[lapis frigate]

the code is executed but before.channel.members is [] (None)

[slate swan]

i want a command to be ran only under 1 category

[maiden fable]

Because u joined a new VC, so before.channel is None

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.in_any_channel

!d discord.ext.commands.check

[lapis frigate]

i can fix that?

[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").

[maiden fable]

Use this (;

Make a check. Easy

[maiden fable]

???

[lapis frigate]

Is there a way to get the people who were? or not

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.members

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

[lapis frigate]

but it's None

[maiden fable]

U can use the after arg

[lapis frigate]

but i'm not in the voice channel after

[maiden fable]

Ok so let's start from the starting... What do u want to achieve?

[lapis frigate]

when member leave voice channel

[maiden fable]

Yea

[lapis frigate]

but it's not working

[maiden fable]

So u just wanna check if a member left a channel?

And not if he joined one?

[lapis frigate]

that's working

[lapis frigate]

yes

[maiden fable]

Okay

[lapis frigate]

the code:

@client.event
async def on_voice_state_update(member, before, after):
    if before.channel==None:
        before_members=[]
    else:
        before_members=before.channel.members
    if after.channel==None:
        after_members=[]
    else:
        after_members=after.channel.members
    print(before_members)
    print(after_members)
    print(before.channel)
    print(after.channel)
    if before_members!=after_members:
        if member in before_members and member not in after_members:
            channel=client.get_channel(889215576487120956)
            await channel.send(f"{member.mention} leave the voice")
        elif member in after_members and member not in before_members:
            channel=client.get_channel(889215576487120956)
            await channel.send(f"{member.mention} joined the voice")```

[maiden fable]

!code

Thanks

[maiden fable]

if before.channel is None:
    # The person just joined a new VC
    return
# Your code when the person leave a VC

@ me in response

[lapis frigate]

thanks

[lapis frigate]

But what if there was someone in the channel?

[slate swan]

not exactly

[maiden fable]

Ik ik

If the person changed VCs

[maiden fable]

U can do all that in the code after the if statement (:

Faster Than You @slate swan :D

[slate swan]

me mobile

[maiden fable]

Same haha

[slate swan]

fawk

[lapis frigate]

ok thanks

[maiden fable]

I knew someone was gonna point that out 😂

That's why I was ready

[fair axle]

?

[slate swan]

unfair

Sorry, music bots against ToS :c

[slate swan]

haha

[maiden fable]

Didn't intended to use that tag but GGs

Not making one (:

[slate swan]

that's not how wait_for works

pretty sure you meant wait_for("button_click")

[maiden fable]

No

[slate swan]

or smth like this

I don't use disnake

[fair axle]

dislash

    row_of_buttons = ActionRow(Button(style=ButtonStyle.green, label="Yes", custom_id="green_button"),
                               Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label="No", custom_id="red_button"))

[maiden fable]

WHYYYYYYYY 🥺

[slate swan]

same thing

[slate swan]

cuz I'm a different breed

and I'm probably gonna switch to djs

[dapper cobalt]

You should.

[slate swan]

no

[dapper cobalt]

You should.

[slate swan]

yes

[maiden fable]

Traitor 😭

[slate swan]

yes

[sullen shoal]

js syntax kinda frustrating tbh

[slate swan]

no syntax

[dapper cobalt]

I use djs for my bot's dashboard. I learnt it for only the purpose of getting the bot's guilds and other things, and it's actually great and easy.

[slate swan]

js is just syntaxless

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[sullen shoal]

wha

[dapper cobalt]

If you are very used to Python, then yes.

[maiden fable]

Anyways let's leave this. It's OT

[slate swan]

sure

[dapper cobalt]

Indeed.

How to print my bot's name?

[maiden fable]

bot.user.name

Or str(bot.user)

[slate swan]

he knew that

[dapper cobalt]

bot.user.username*

[sullen shoal]

i hope something adds function decorators to it at some point

[fair axle]

inter = await inter.wait_for("green_button")
    button_text = inter.clicked_button.label
    await inter.reply(f"great u slected {button_text}")
    inter = await inter.wait_for("red_button")
    button_text = inter.clicked_button.label
    await inter.reply(f"great u slected {button_text}")

now?

[slate swan]

no?

[dapper cobalt]

Even this, you're bad at it. @maiden fable

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.user.name

[unkempt canyon]

Not in my house!

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[maiden fable]

Oh, weird

Hahahahahahahahaha

[slate swan]

huh

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.name

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

[sage otter]

What’s wrong with ffmpeg. It doesn’t do anything wrong like yt-dl. It’s just an audio transcoder

[maiden fable]

This is there tho

[slate swan]

yep

[maiden fable]

It still downloads audios from YT bro

[sullen shoal]

because thats the docs

[dapper cobalt]

Ok I'm bad.

[sullen shoal]

.user returns discord.User

[slate swan]

hah

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

me like: 😹

[maiden fable]

True

[sullen shoal]

it scrapes the webpage doesnt check like typehints and stuff of the actual code

[sage otter]

I though that’s what YouTube-dl does tho. You use the two in tandem because they do seperate things. yt-dl downloads and ffmpeg for audio.

[maiden fable]

But YT is the common source for both of them haha

Where else do u get the audio from

[sage otter]

I mean some people use ffmpeg "legally". I’ve had a friend use it for a school project. Just because its commonly used with yt-dl doesn’t mean the software itself is bad.

[slate swan]

you can use ffmpeg when not downloading music from youtube nor spotify

I use ffmpeg with gtts to make tts commands in voice channels

[maiden fable]

Never said it's itself is bad, but when used with a discord music bot, the use case becomes illegal

[sage otter]

Ah I see. I misunderstood your sentence then. Mb.

[slate swan]

what's this?

[maiden fable]

Ignore that, mb

[slate swan]

use category.name

[maiden fable]

Yea

I was just tryna tell them to use a check

[slate swan]

if ctx.category.name !=

[maiden fable]

It's easier, ya know

[slate swan]

well

do you learn checks or if statements first

😳

[maiden fable]

They never said anything, so I thought they knew more than just if statements 🤷‍♂️

It's a basic judgement if u r using a lib like dpy, as long as the person doesn't himself tells the true thing

[slate swan]

hm

I see more people without python knowledge here

than with it

[maiden fable]

I was one of them

[maiden fable]

This one ^^^

[slate swan]

I still am

[maiden fable]

🤣 I started dpy when I didn't know what were functions used for and there's a thing like decos or classes and objects

[slate swan]

does not work

ok

[sullen shoal]

how did you learn about them

[sage otter]

stackoverflow

[maiden fable]

Random articles. Read on multiple websites, asked from people in dpy server and I somewhat understood it. Then I would read help channels, see a new thing, like dunder methods, search for them and stuff. This is how I learnt

[sullen shoal]

would you suggest others to do the same 🤔

[slate swan]

no

[echo wasp]

anyone know how to fix this? code:

[slate swan]

code

where code

[quick gust]

fail to see ze code

[slate swan]

do people really think we can read their minds

[maiden fable]

Never

[slate swan]

can someone help me with checking if the message is under a category?

Hey @echo wasp!

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

[maiden fable]

The token is None

[slate swan]

wdym

Just do one thing

[slate swan]

u told me my answer did not work

[echo wasp]

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

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Add these lines on the top of the file

[slate swan]

so what's the error

[echo wasp]

read the code

[maiden fable]

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv() 

[echo wasp]

I have it

[maiden fable]

Oh, u r doing that

[devout iris]

Discord.py end.

[slate swan]

not u pusdk

[devout iris]

Damn

[slate swan]

    if ctx.category.name != "category name":
        return

this does not work

bru

do you really have category name in your code

wdym

I mean exactly what I asked

[slate swan]

elaborate on how that doesn't work

[sullen shoal]

yeah, my story was somewhat like that, i wanted to make a custom help command so asked people how to do it they linked me Stella's gist, i didn't understand shit and then i started from the beginning and searched a discord.py tutorial luckily, i watched a tutorial from a experienced guy that knew what he was doing, i skipped to the second part where they gave users a list of which things they need to learn prolly because of those dumb comments, i saved it and started reading them and creating small projects from then i think im improving day by day

the list was of decorators, classes and stuff like that

[echo wasp]

So what can i do

it is replit

[pliant gulch]

Seems like most people graduate after making their own custom subclassed help command

Makes sense as it has to touch upon inheritance and classes, but it you learnt that before discord.py it would be super super easy to do

[slate swan]

does not work bro XD

even if i write under "category name" category

it still blocks the command

[sullen shoal]

pretty hard for a self taught one tho they dont knoe what they need to learn plus i sucked at english and was a kid

i was like 13

[pliant gulch]

That is true, how well you learn is dependent

Just feels like to me most people are skipping a few steps sometimes but what am I to say about that

[sullen shoal]

yeah

[pliant gulch]

I do understand why people would do it though as I can see discord bots being a fun project for beginners

[tawny knoll]

when using the discord.Member type hint, is there any way to check if the given input is a member object, if not use the string version of the input?

[maiden fable]

It was just last year in around September when I started Python.

[tawny knoll]

    async def plays(self, ctx, user : discord.Member = None):
        """Defaults user_id to author, but checks if a user is provided. If so, change user_id to targeted users"""
        embed = Embed(color = Color.green())
        guild_id = ctx.guild.id
        target = ctx.author
        try:
            target = self.client.get_user(user.id)
        except AttributeError:
            user = str(user)

i tried this but it still tried to use the member object

[maiden fable]

Dpy automatically converts it to a discord.Member instance

[slate swan]

yeah that's very vague, can't help you

[tawny knoll]

hmmm, so theres no way to get the raw input itself after using the type hint?

[sullen shoal]

yeah it was around 1 year for me as well

[echo wasp]

How can i fix my discord token error?

[maiden fable]

Raw input can vary. It can be an ID, a name, or even a full username bro

[maiden fable]

Recheck your environmental vars

[devout iris]

Why we shouldn't use replit for host?

[tawny knoll]

yeah ik, thats why i have the try/except block. if the input is a valid user it'll have an ID, if not it'll raise an error which tells me it's NOT a user

the goal would be the except block tells the program its NOT a member instance, therefore use the raw version

[sullen shoal]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

i described the issue

[slate swan]

for one, it's slow as fuck

[maiden fable]

As I said, it's gonna be a discord.Member instance 99.9% of times

It won't be a discord.Member instance only if the person isn't in the guild or is an invalid person

[sullen shoal]

im preparing myself before making my own discord api wrapper (just a simple one) i looked up the docs of the socket and http module i think im doing too much lol

[tawny knoll]

this is kinda what im aiming for. by default it'll be a discord.Member instance. It then checks if a valid user was given (either based on ID, username, nick, etc). If it's NOT a user in the guild or is an invalid user, take the input itself and NOT the member instance. idk how possible that is if at all using the typehint

the member instance is used to search my DB for that user's socials. so if no user is given, itll target the author instead OR use the raw input as the username

[maiden fable]

Then u can just use use isinstance

if not isinstance(member, discord.Member):

!d str.isnumeric

[unkempt canyon]

str.isnumeric

str.isnumeric()```
Return `True` if all characters in the string are numeric characters, and there is at least one character, `False` otherwise. Numeric characters include digit characters, and all characters that have the Unicode numeric value property, e.g. U+2155, VULGAR FRACTION ONE FIFTH. Formally, numeric characters are those with the property value Numeric\_Type=Digit, Numeric\_Type=Decimal or Numeric\_Type=Numeric.

[maiden fable]

This will return True if it's an ID

[sullen shoal]

it will return True even if its some random numbers tho

[maiden fable]

Yea

But that's upto him to figure out how to use it, since discord.py would always convert a correct ID to discord.Member instance

[tawny knoll]

then try and convert the number found to a user object, and if returns none i can assume its a random # input

[maiden fable]

Yesssss

That's what I was gonna say 😂

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object

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

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

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

x == y Checks if two objects are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the object’s hash.

[tawny knoll]

yeah the logic behind it all makes sense its just too early in the morning to make any sense rn

so im struggling to put everythjing into words

[echo wasp]

well they don't let .env files be created

[tawny knoll]

lmfao

[vocal shoal]

if member.id == ctx.bot.id:
  return await ctx.send("no")

does ctx.bot.id mean the bot's ID?

[maiden fable]

No

[sullen shoal]

bot.user.id

[maiden fable]

ctx.bot.user.id returns the ID

[vocal shoal]

oh ok thx

[echo wasp]

can someone dm a .env file? that has like hi or something in it?

[sullen shoal]

HI = Your value
MYXI = thats me
TOKEN = your token```

[carmine pilot]

If I had a regular embed command could I just import slash commands and etc and add the slash commands into the embed command code?

[sullen shoal]

what lib are u using tho

[carmine pilot]

Wdym?

[sullen shoal]

discord.py doesn't have slash commands

[velvet kindle]

Ho how can i create a mod mail bot whit python

[carmine pilot]

Yes they do.

[sullen shoal]

what

where

[carmine pilot]

They have slash commands. lol

[sullen shoal]

link me the docs

[carmine pilot]

There is proof.

[sullen shoal]

i said docs

[carmine pilot]

I know.

And I said “proof”.

[sullen shoal]

ik slash commands exist

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[carmine pilot]

Bro what.

[sullen shoal]

that doesn't proof that it is from discord.py

[carmine pilot]

Omg.

[slate swan]

BD momentum

[sullen shoal]

you might be using "third party extensions" or "forks" of it which is not a part of discord.py directly

[carmine pilot]

It literally is.

[slate swan]

sh its for experimental purposes to see if my bots showing the right status

[sullen shoal]

its not officially supported, it will not be in the docs of the original library

[slate swan]

[...]

[carmine pilot]

But it can still be used.

[sullen shoal]

that doesnt make it a part of discord.py

[carmine pilot]

I guess.

[slate swan]

await message.delete()

[safe fulcrum]

what is web = message.content

[slate swan]

anyways can someone help me with this? for some reason it doesnt show what users are playing, but it works fine when i test it on bots whos activitys are 'playing'

Gives the message content

[safe fulcrum]

await web.delete() will work?

[slate swan]

No

[carmine pilot]

@slate swan are slash commands supported officially on discord.py?

[viral mirage]

can someone recommend me a database that can be accessed by more than one bot and won't break the bot's cache or anything?

[slate swan]

No

[carmine pilot]

But they CAN still be used right?

[safe fulcrum]

tx

[slate swan]

It's not built-in but there are third (actually kind of fourth) party libraries to make slash commands work with discord.py

[carmine pilot]

Okay ty.

[slate swan]

bot doesnt show when users are 'playing', only other bots, anyone wanna help?

[carmine pilot]

What?

[slate swan]

what

i thought i was discreet with the way i said it is there something thats not understood or

Do you have the presence intent enabled?

i hate intents with a passion
discord should take the decision to add intents back, it fixes absolutely nothing

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**.

if interaction.user.id != ctx.author.id: this is what i am using, but it says that ctx is not defined

[slate swan]

Good to see you infernum

how would I allow users to dm a file to my bot, and then I'd receive the file in my log channel?

my current one only takes in the text message. Just need help with getting the file

[slate swan]

@sullen shoal how are you doing?🤔

[quick gust]

Good to see you too

[sullen shoal]

doing great

you?

[slate swan]

Good to hear from both of you🤔

[lethal moat]

is disnake a lib like discord.py?

[quick gust]

a fork of discord.py

[lethal moat]

i am using nextcord.py and i wanna stay on nextcord.py

[slate swan]

Im good

[sullen shoal]

nice

[slate swan]

Disnake is probably better

[sullen shoal]

then idk

[slate swan]

Disnake = best fork

[lethal moat]

🥲

[slate swan]

Im not forcing you i just recommend it

[quick gust]

Anyone?

[lethal moat]

ik you arent forcing me
im just looking for a way to do it in nextcord

[quick gust]

did u try asking the nextcord staff

[slate swan]

Cant help you sorry i only use disnake

[lethal moat]

they told me to ask here ;-;

[quick gust]

oh

[sullen shoal]

lol

[quick gust]

damn lol

[velvet kindle]

Hi

I need a site of hosting

[summer flume]

use replit

[manic wing]

no.

not at all.

[quick gust]

no...

[velvet kindle]

What site i can use for hosting?

[manic wing]

buy a vps

[summer flume]

then idk

[stone moon]

anyway I can add roles via their role name? For context I have a ton of roles that are just 1 number increasing, and member’s roles ascend in numbers the more they interact. I can add a role based on their current role number + 1

[lethal moat]

use railway.app

its good

[slate swan]

Am i tripping?

[lethal moat]

no you arent, replit just still exists, thats all

why people still use it? now thats the real question

[summer flume]

why wouldnt

[lethal moat]

replit is complete doo doo

[slate swan]

Idk maybe cuz is horrible

[manic wing]

role_names = ['role1', 'role2']
for i in role_names:
  role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=i)
  await member.add_role(role)

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

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

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

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

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

Examples

Basic usage...

[stone moon]

🙏

[summer flume]

I like it

[slate swan]

@velvet kindle best free option is heroku not good compared to vps but best option over replit

[slate swan]

Not good in anyway lmfao

If you like it well,well you like it

[summer flume]

ok

[carmine pilot]

Uptimerobot

[quick gust]

or maybe because you haven't seen real hosting

[slate swan]

Why yall recommending random websites from the internet

[sullen shoal]

couldnt you make your code look good and alot more optimized by memorizing two strings,

    rich_presence = "\<:rich_presence:907387984226173008\>"

ugh discord not letting me put the emoji name correctly

[lethal moat]

is there ANY way on this holy earth that i could check if the user id is same as the interaction user id

using nextcord.py

[sullen shoal]

codeblock it correctly

```py
```

[sullen shoal]

that thing looks pretty similar to discord.py implementation, overwriting interaction_check method should work

https://github.com/m-y-x-i/simple-disnake-discord-bot/blob/main/utils/paginator.py#L87-L88

[unkempt canyon]

utils/paginator.py lines 87 to 88

async def interaction_check(self, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction) -> bool:
    return interaction.author.id == self.ctx.author.id```

[lethal moat]

the problem is getting ctx.author.id inside the class

[sullen shoal]

just pass the Context to the class?

[lethal moat]

when i pass ctx to the class it says it doesnt have a value

[sullen shoal]

https://github.com/m-y-x-i/simple-disnake-discord-bot/blob/a15e4d71d826a4c07dd2b4468fea596fb331960c/cogs/imagesearch/_cog.py#L20-L23

paginator = Paginator(ctx, embeds=embeds)
paginator.message = await ctx.send(
    embed=paginator.current_embed, view=paginator
)```

[lethal moat]

im trying my best to not have to migrate to disnake

[sullen shoal]

that is not even related to disnake

more of something to do with OOP

Paginator(ctx, embeds=embeds)
im passing the ctx instance to my paginator

this is something which was added in discord.py 2.0 iirc, so it should be same for disnake and nextcord

[echo wasp]

how do i make sure i have these library?

import os
import discord
import time
import datetime
import asyncio
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import get
from dotenv import load_dotenv

[sullen shoal]

run it

[rare saddle]

How do I make %x show the date like (de_DE)?

[sullen shoal]

or catch ModuleNotFoundError

[echo wasp]

ok how do i install from command line?

[sullen shoal]

using your package manager

which for most people is pip

[echo wasp]

pip

[sullen shoal]

pip install pakage_name

[lethal moat]

class ChooseClass(nextcord.ui.View, ctx):

the moment i give ctx to the class this happens -

NameError: name 'ctx' is not defined

[sullen shoal]

bro

[lethal moat]

im DUMB okeh?

i know im dumb

i accept the fact that i am dumb

[sullen shoal]

we inherit from other classes there

add the parameter to __init__

and add it to the instance

[lethal moat]

def __init__(self, ctx):

like that?

[sullen shoal]

!e

class foo():
    def __init__(self, ctx: commands.Context) -> None:
        self.ctx = ctx
        # the first parameter of every non static method is the instance of the class. it can be named anything, but please name it self.
ctx = 'oof'
f = foo(ctx)
print(f.ctx)```

[unkempt canyon]

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

oof

[slate swan]

Your such a smart man

Or women

[sullen shoal]

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

You have to type hint ctx cuz it doesnt have the bot decorator right?

[sullen shoal]

nah its not needed, just tells the IDE what it is, helps with autocompletion

also makes it easy for others to contribute

[slate swan]

Ik whats a type hint -_-

[sullen shoal]

oh

[slate swan]

😔

[sullen shoal]

did i answer your question tho or im confused

[slate swan]

I just expect something more but thx

[sullen shoal]

now im even more confused-

[slate swan]

Just forget it😭

[velvet kindle]

One site of hosting on mobile?

[sullen shoal]

alright then

[slate swan]

I dont think you can host on mobile

[velvet kindle]

Sad

[sullen shoal]

you may use pydroid to host your bot using your phone

[slow fog]

amogus

[slate swan]

Thats so cursed😭

[velvet kindle]

I use pydroid but my bot it is not on

[sullen shoal]

you gotta keep your phone on tho

alt

[manic wing]

this is self promotion

[slow fog]

oh maybe if i had an old phone that I don't use anymore

[manic wing]

• can't you just test yourself?

[lethal moat]

well no..

[sullen shoal]

gonna be slow tho

[lethal moat]

i am testing the button thing in which only the command user can interact with the button

so i need 2 people, one who will issue the command and one who will try to click the buttons

[slow fog]

or ill use raspberry pi

better for hosting things

[lethal moat]

its fine tho i will just go ask my 0 friends for help

[sullen shoal]

expensive tho why not buy vps

[slate swan]

Vps or a rpi are the best options

[manic wing]

tbh i have a raspberry pi and its not really worth it

[slow fog]

no its jot expensive lol

not *

[manic wing]

vps are cheaper and more powerful

[slow fog]

yea

[manic wing]

my pi can hardly handle it

[slow fog]

looks like you got the worst one

[manic wing]

its the 4b, top tier everything - max ram and cpy speed

[slate swan]

Vps are better in my opinion cuz they have their own internet and its fast and a rpi is good but you need to rely on your internet and power

[slow fog]

yes but for me i have my local network i dont like the vps services

everything is on my own

[sullen shoal]

ok use whatever you want

[slow fog]

thats weird

should be working fine

[sage otter]

You don’t powerful anything to host a discord bot. It’s literally a discord bot. Most bots don’t even need a gig of memory to do the things they do.

[slow fog]

yea

[manic wing]

and thats a fact is it?

[slate swan]

A rpi is like 100 bucks when digitals ocean lowest pack is like 5 bucks a month so you can get a year and a half

[slow fog]

just a small script have to be running all the time

[stone moon]

how to get the name of the user's role

[manic wing]

try having a bot on 200k servers that works its ass off

[sage otter]

That’s why I said mid level bot

[manic wing]

!d discord.Role.name role.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.name

The name of the role.

[slow fog]

how are you using the bot

[sage otter]

200k is not mid-level that’s over 100 shards

[slow fog]

i dont understand anything

[manic wing]

it wasnt used by it

but it had to read the messages

[slate swan]

A bot with like 100guilds takes like 40 to 60 mb so no you don't need a gig of ram even

[manic wing]

it was just on big servers

[slow fog]

at the moment if you got 200k servers ofc you will be able to get more powerful service for the host ofc

[sage otter]

Yes it’s recommended to get a high level vps or dedicated machine at that point

[manic wing]

i took it off the servers to give my pi a chance at life

[slow fog]

oh

[manic wing]

poor little boy was crying

[slow fog]

who

[slate swan]

For mercy

[slow fog]

whats your bot doing

exe.bot

[slate swan]

Nothing its offline rn

[manic wing]

is it open source

[slow fog]

i mean what is the bot about

[slate swan]

Wdym by open source

[slow fog]

general moderation

[sullen shoal]

github repo

[manic wing]

is the code. ope

[slate swan]

Multi function bot

[slow fog]

cool

[slate swan]

No

[slow fog]

and who the hell gonna working hard then let the code an open source

[manic wing]

anyone need help with their bot?

[sullen shoal]

no

[manic wing]

most devs

[slate swan]

If people need, they ask..

[slow fog]

then some kids come and use your code like its nothing

[manic wing]

well some

[slate swan]

A idea would be nice

[manic wing]

whats wrong with that lol

just shows you're selfish

[slow fog]

whats wrong?

dont be stupid

[slate swan]

Idc if my bot is open source tbh

[slate swan]

But u still have skills lmaooo

[slate swan]

Bro chill

[sullen shoal]

most devs dont really care about their code, theyre proud of it, and thats enough for them

[slate swan]

Yeah

[stone moon]

!d discord.Object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object

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

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

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

x == y Checks if two objects are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the object’s hash.

[manic wing]

?

[slate swan]

True

[slate swan]

#bot-commands

[sage otter]

I mean i made my bot Open source for people to self-host. I don’t really care. As long as they respect the license that’s on the repo. There won’t be problems. 👌

[slate swan]

if you bot is open source , other people may try to improve it as well

[sullen shoal]

i will

[slow fog]

there is something called "time" Which you spent creating and diligence with and then someone comes and uses it and he did nothing and the issue may reach a more problematic

[sullen shoal]

i cant handle myself when i see dumb code

[manic wing]

so basically you're being selfish lol

[slate swan]

Tbh i dont care if people copy my code i take it like a compliment

[manic wing]

'its mine mine and noone but mines'

[stone moon]

whats the syntqax

[slow fog]

ofc if they are respect it but what im talking about that there is something kids doesnt

[sullen shoal]

microsoft windows moment

[slow fog]

???

[manic wing]

do you know what a liscence is

in github

[slow fog]

what do you think

[manic wing]

90% of the time the liscence means nothing

[slow fog]

thats why im talking about that

[pliant gulch]

🤔

[sage otter]

That’s false

[manic wing]

as in, its stuff like 'dont sell my code'

[sage otter]

Have you seen licenses like Apache

[pliant gulch]

[sage otter]

Or GNU

[slow fog]

[manic wing]

i mean my bots liscenced

[pliant gulch]

Some licenses allow you to take the code, some don't

[stone moon]

how to get the names of all the user's roles

[pliant gulch]

Like MIT your basically allowed to do whatever with it

[sullen shoal]

discord.Member.roles will return the list of user's roles, each is a discord.Role object

[manic wing]

but with bots like these, noones going to try and sell it or distribute it

[pliant gulch]

Sometimes you cannot but licenses always mean something

[slow fog]

let them take the code but there is some people don't just take it

[dapper cobalt]

I do.

[slate swan]

Me

[pliant gulch]

Open source is amazing

[sage otter]

But have you seen the Unlicense license. https://unlicense.org

[slate swan]

I like teaching others so i let my code be public sometimes

[pliant gulch]

If its a diecord bot I don't see why make it closed source

[dapper cobalt]

I wouldn't make my code open source unless I fully am okay with others copying it and not even giving me credits. That's how you become a good member of the dev community.

[slow fog]

as i said If you have the full possibility to make your project restricted to property rights but most people do not do so

[dapper cobalt]

We going a bit off-topic, eh?

[slate swan]

A license is basically what gives you rights on your code, up to you to decide if your rights on your code means nothing.

[sullen shoal]

yeah diecord bots

[slate swan]

well ye

[manic wing]

thats why im saying at this basic level with a million of the same bots that liscence means nothing; noone wants your code anyway

[pliant gulch]

Most people who see no license on a repo usually think it's free to do whatever on it

It's sometimes hard to believe

But not really at the same time

People have no respect over intellectual property

[sage otter]

it do be that way :l

[slate swan]

Theirs always that someone🤷‍♂️

[dapper cobalt]

I don't like being that person, but.

how do i make it a string

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Role.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.name

The name of the role.

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

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

[slate swan]

They wont find me if im in russia

[dapper cobalt]

This will return a discord.Role object, then you can use the name attribute.

[sullen shoal]

they have the member

and they probably gonna end up actually doing discord.Guild.get_role()

[neon pawn]

im anyone would like a discord bot hmu. im bored and would like a project to do

[stone moon]

without using role id

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

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

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

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

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

Examples

Basic usage...

[stone moon]

get what

[sage otter]

Lmao

[dapper cobalt]

Get what I mean.

[tawdry perch]

can bots use emojis from guilds they are in, like from server x use that emoji in server y?

[stone moon]

im being as iqless as possible

[sage otter]

Yes

[dapper cobalt]

Yes. Discord bots have a limited edition of Discord Nitro.

[tawdry perch]

This will be fun

[stone moon]

discord.utils.get(message.guild.roles)

??????????????????????????????????????

[tawdry perch]

Limited?

[dapper cobalt]

Yes. Then pass a name or an id attribute.

[slate swan]

        act = 'None'

for whatever reason, the bot only displays the status' of other bots. doesnt seem to work on users (only the playing status)

is it possible to get the name without passing an attribute ajrwhroawbroawurhwarb bruawehrawurhawrhawjdf;we

like i want to add their current role + 1 since roles are numbers

[river kindle]

I am creating a "product review" command I want that when I call the command I can enter the quality and rating, for example:! review 5 stars test

if I try to write this it prints the message on stars and rating, but I want it to print the message 1 of the star and 2 for the rating

async def review(ctx, *, message):
  embed = discord.Embed (
        title = 'Product Review',
        description = f'Stars: {message} \ n Rating: {message} '
    )
  await ctx.send(embed = embed)```

[sullen shoal]

#discord-bots message
remove repeated code first.

[slate swan]

wait i can use less lines?

[sullen shoal]

and fix the formatting so that its human readable

[sullen shoal]

and still optimize it by a bit

[dapper cobalt]

I can't give you 100 balls and tell you to give me my favorite ball, while I never told you which one is my favorite. Same thing with the bot. You cannot ask it to get a role without specifying which role you want.

[slate swan]

wdym? cuz currently i have member : discord.Member

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[river kindle]

need some help^^

[queen jewel]

is it possible to see .exe source code? or transfer it to .py?

[slate swan]

no lol

[dapper cobalt]

Discord still adds spaces?

[sullen shoal]

ok forget it i tried my to explain it, be happy with that spaghetti

[river kindle]

[sullen shoal]

no

[river kindle]

.

[sullen shoal]

but could be possible if

it was converted to exe from python file

[dapper cobalt]

Then pass 2 different parameters.

@client.command()
async def review(ctx, stars, *, message):
  embed = discord.Embed (
        title = 'Product Review',
        description = f'Stars: {stars} \ n Rating: {message} '
    )
  await ctx.send(embed = embed)

[sullen shoal]

also its not the right channel to ask it

[river kindle]

uhm

lemme try

[slate swan]

wouldi still need the py if guild.get_member(member.id) is not None: acts = member.activities act = [i for i in acts if isinstance(i, discord.CustomActivity)] if act: act = act[0]?

[stone moon]

you cant find their current role?

like the current role they have

then add a role that is 1 more than their current role

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

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

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

[sullen shoal]

what i am saying is that, your code contains a lot of repeated that, which isnt good, what you could do, is memorizing it by making it a variable

it always helps to debug faster when the code is clean

[stone moon]

im going to kill myself

[dapper cobalt]

There's no need to say that, please.

Can you show your code?

[stone moon]

lol

[river kindle]

ok works thanks

[slate swan]

i tried what u explained to me, for whatever reason it says im listening to sublime text

[stone moon]

role = discord.utils.get(message.guild.roles, name=str(int(discord.utils.get(message.guild.roles name#wtf)) + 1))
        await message.author.add_roles(role)```

[dapper cobalt]

I'm watching Spotify.

[stone moon]

sorry i dont know any of this lol

[slate swan]

im playing netflix.

[dapper cobalt]

What are you trying to achieve?

[maiden fable]

Why not just pass the role ID to the add_roles method

[stone moon]

i have 50 roles

1,2,3,4,5 etc.

and like the more they interact the higher their number

[dapper cobalt]

You want to add a role?

[stone moon]

add a role higher than their current one

[sullen shoal]

show code after fixing the formatting

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

await add_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[maiden fable]

Yea that

[slate swan]

ive put it on a test command for now

    @commands.command()
    async def bb(self, ctx, member : discord.Member = None):
        if member is None:
            member = ctx.author

        rich_presence = "![rich_presence](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/907387984226173008.webp?size=128 "rich_presence")"
        acts = member.activities
        activity_name = member.activity.name.replace('(UNREGISTERED)', '')

        act = f'Listening to {activity_name} {rich_presence}'

        await ctx.send(act)```

[maiden fable]

It can also take in a snowflake

[stone moon]

add a role 1 higher than their current one

[maiden fable]

So u can also add the role ids

[dapper cobalt]

Create a role with a higher hierarchy?

[stone moon]

no

add a role thats 1 more than their current one

[slate swan]

...(position= )

[dapper cobalt]

If you want to add a role to a user, its hierarchy depends on its hierarchy in the server itself.

[stone moon]

the name of my roles are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 up to 50

[slate swan]

💀

[dapper cobalt]

I'm losing brain cells.

[sullen shoal]

what is the output of member.activity.name

[stone moon]

😃

[slate swan]

https://oml.wtf/Q6QGgkLW

[stone moon]

so i have 50 roles named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 so on. i want to add a role thats 1 more than a user's current role, if the user has no roles then it adds the role "1"

[dapper cobalt]

It's because you have Listening to at the start of your string.

[slate swan]

right

[sullen shoal]

sublime text is the name of activity

[slate swan]

[stone moon]

i will ask later i suppose

[slate swan]

how am i meant to get the activity type then?

[stone moon]

i will try repharsing if needed

[slate swan]

without repeating code

[dapper cobalt]

What do you mean you want to add a role to be "1 more"?

[sullen shoal]

i would check the attributes of discord.Activity

!d discord.Activity

[stone moon]

so lets say they have the role "34"

[slate swan]

is discord.Activity.type a thing?

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.Activity.type

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Activity.type

The type of activity currently being done.

[stone moon]

i want to delete the role "34" and add the role "35"

over a certain condition (ive already got that covered)

[slate swan]

and would that show for watching, competing, streaming, listening to, listening to spotify (yes 2 different things), playing

[dapper cobalt]

Delete the role from the guild? Or remove it from the member's roles?

[sullen shoal]

tias

[stone moon]

remove it from the member's roles

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.Member.remove_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.remove\_roles

await remove_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Removes [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s from this member.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the removed [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[slate swan]

ok

[stone moon]

how do i find the users CURRENT ROLE so then i can add a role thats their current role + 1

thats my only question

[dapper cobalt]

You want to get the list of the member's roles?

[stone moon]

i guess yeah

but like

[slate swan]

ive gone and done this

        actype = member.activity.type

        act = f'{actype} {activity_name} {rich_presence}'``` but the output is "ActivityType.playing Sublime Text ![rich_presence](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/907387984226173008.webp?size=128 "rich_presence")"

[stone moon]

referring to this

i want to add a role to the user thats 1 more than their current one

how do i get their current role as a string object

[sullen shoal]

!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.

[sullen shoal]

check attributes of it

[slate swan]

so actype = member.ActivityType?

or actype = member.ActivityType.type

[sullen shoal]

^

[slate swan]

would something like this work? 1 sec lemme type it out

wait nvm i just ran it through my head it wouldnt work

[sullen shoal]

actually i think youre using the wrong attribute, one sec

[sullen shoal]

i think you have to create a dict

[slate swan]

a dict?

[stiff nexus]

how can i know whether the attachment is a image or a video??

[slate swan]

not familiar with technical terms

[slate swan]

file extention id guess

extension*

[sullen shoal]

something like,

a = ActivityType
d = {
a.playing: "playing", a.listening:"listening"
}```

something like that

[slate swan]

ohhhh

i see

[sullen shoal]

i gotta go now, afk

[cloud dawn]

Check if the file name ends with .exe or an img extention.
Best is to use mimetypes

[tawdry perch]

how do I send a emoji from another server?

[echo wasp]

How would you do a token part of the bot i do this and get this error

[tawdry perch]

install the module?

[echo wasp]

i tried

[tawdry perch]

pip install python-dotenv did you install that?

[echo wasp]

i needs to be redone it doesn't support dotenv

[cloud dawn]

Yeah it's python-dotenv

[stiff nexus]

thx

[tawdry perch]

it was smth like <id&id> right?

[echo wasp]

thanks i did pip install dotenv

[slate swan]

<:name:id>

[tawdry perch]

ah

[cloud dawn]

Also calling your own main file Bot.py is very confusing not to mention potential break points.

[tawdry perch]

thank you

[slate swan]

it needs to have a colon before the name too

[tawdry perch]

oh I see

[slate swan]

    @commands.command()
    async def bb(self, ctx, member : discord.Member = None):
        if member is None:
            member = ctx.author

        rich_presence = "![rich_presence](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/907387984226173008.webp?size=128 "rich_presence")"
        acts = member.activities
        activity_name = member.activity.name.replace('(UNREGISTERED)', '')
        a = ActivityType
        d = {
        a.playing: "Playing", a.listening:"Listening to", a.watching: "Watching",
        a.streaming: "Streaming", a.competing: "Competing in"
        }

        act = f'{d} {activity_name} {rich_presence}'

        await ctx.send(act)```

[stone moon]

so i have 50 roles named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 so on. i want to add a role thats 1 more than a user's current role, if the user has no roles then it adds the role "1"

[slate swan]

get roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

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

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

[slate swan]

there @stone moon

[abstract kindle]

hey devs

got a question

[stone moon]

i dont get it

how

[slate swan]

read the docs

ppl dont spoonfeed code here

thats what githubs for

[abstract kindle]

can you call a function inside another one?

[stone moon]

okay

[stone moon]

yeah

[abstract kindle]

im wokring in a cog for my discord bot, and its saying the function im trying to call isn't defined

    #party creator
    @commands.command()
    async def party(self, ctx, user: discord.User):
        with open("users.json", "r") as f:
            data = json.load(f)
        party = []
        party.append(str(ctx.author.id))
        party.append(str(user.id))
        if not set(party).issubset(data):
            await ctx.send("One or more users is not registered.")
            party.remove(str(ctx.author.id))
            party.remove(str(user.id))
        else:
            print(party)
            await ctx.send(f"Party made!\nMembers: {party}")
            gen_party_id() #THIS FUNCTION RIGHT HERE OFFICER
            data[party][f"Party: {partyid}"]
        with open("users.json", "w") as f:
            json.dump(data, f, indent=4)

I defined gen_party_id above in the code

[slate swan]

redefine it in the command maybe?

[abstract kindle]

redefine the whole function?

I supposed I could try that

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sullen shoal]

just putting the dict won't work, you have to get it, using the get method of dict

!d dict.get

[unkempt canyon]

dict.get

get(key[, default])```
Return the value for *key* if *key* is in the dictionary, else *default*. If *default* is not given, it defaults to `None`, so that this method never raises a [`KeyError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#KeyError "KeyError").

[slate swan]

get(d)?

[sullen shoal]

d is the dict

d.get(key)

key needs to be the activity type in your case
