[shadow wraith]

you could use discord.Member if your bored

because idk if that works

[boreal ravine]

isn't it spoonfeeding without explanation

[slate swan]

The more I look at y'all convo the more I lose my brain cells 🚶‍♂️

[shadow wraith]

bro he needs it for an event how can that spoonfeed him 😂

[boreal ravine]

😰

[vale wing]

Lmao

[shadow wraith]

same

[vale wing]

Have any of you guys ever tried making AI chatbot

[tropic briar]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  await bot.handler.propagate(message)
  await bot.process_commands(message)
  muted = message.guild.get_role(912976244499427339)
  message_split = message.content.split(".")
  for message_word in message_split:
    for bad_word in Filter:
      if(bad_word == message_word.lower()):
        await message.delete()
        await message.channel.send("I have deleted that message :angry:")
        message.author.add_roles(muted)
``` @vale wing Not working, I am the owner

[boreal ravine]

would've solved it a lot quicker if he knew more about class instances :')

[tropic briar]

oh wait

[boreal ravine]

its a coroutine

[vale wing]

Why not use listen

And yeah await it

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.add_roles do people even read these smh

[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.

[vale wing]

Most of API interactions require awaiting just remember that

[shadow wraith]

bro

[tropic briar]

await 👀

and it worked Thanks a lot guys

[vale wing]

Np

[shadow wraith]

i tried using add_roles and it worked but my bot didnt have perms so i suppose it work

i tried running my example and it worked 🤯

[vale wing]

What does atomic parameter do btw

Like if it is true it adds all at once

And if false one by one

Right?

[shadow wraith]

that was an atomically unnecessary to explain 🚎

[sullen shoal]

User doesnt have guild stuff

[boreal ravine]

user = discord user

[shadow wraith]

huh

[boreal ravine]

member = guild member

[shadow wraith]

i think it worked for me

[boreal ravine]

no idea

[shadow wraith]

it just had a perm error

wait

let me inv the bot to a testing server

and see if it works

[vale wing]

See

!d discord.Member.add_roles

Only works for member

So typehint must be discord.Member and not discord.User

[maiden fable]

What error

[visual island]

discord.gg/djs

[sullen shoal]

it cant be that slow to not even handle one bot

[slate swan]

You're at the wrong place.

[sullen shoal]

must be some crap code

[prisma spoke]

how do i indicate this as i want title as a user input? ` def check(m): return m.content = title and m.channel == channel

[sullen shoal]

what

[rain olive]

wassup bro, we've told you how in the other server you asked this in... feel free to check it

[sullen shoal]

so

[abstract kindle]

heyo guys

Myxi

I learned databases

[prisma spoke]

1)i learnt python
2) i made a full bot too
3) i did PIL too

[sullen shoal]

your commands mostly run by a few events that the web sockets send and receive

[abstract kindle]

You were right, but it's still pretty tricky cause I'm having to do all my checks with tuples now instead of strings

Also, I have a question. Is there any way to send a message to the channel if a decorator error occurs? Like if a user can't use a command because @commands.has_role('baller') is preventing them from using it?

[sullen shoal]

i think it raises an error tho

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

[fading harness]

you can use the id of the role.

[abstract kindle]

?

That isn't the question.

[sullen shoal]

catch the errors

[abstract kindle]

I'm wondering if when an error is raised I can send something

[fading harness]

yes!

[abstract kindle]

What is the syntax for catching errors?

[fading harness]

use on_command_error

[sullen shoal]

use global error handlers

[fading harness]

yeah

[slate swan]

try/except or any events

[sullen shoal]

using on_command_error event

[fading harness]

it is global

but you can do if instance(error, commands.MissingPermissions)

[abstract kindle]

would i just put in MissingRole(item)

[fading harness]

im not sure abt that 😭

[abstract kindle]

oh ok

Cause in the core.py file it says when it happens it raises that exact thing

[prisma spoke]

please someone?

[abstract kindle]

Let me do some testing

Oh also, are you saying I would put this in the main code as a message that send ANY time someone doesn't have permissions?

[slate swan]

You want to save the user input in the title variable?

[sick talon]

i am doing %search hi 3 and i am getting this error

Command raised an exception: TypeError: search() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'page'

    @commands.command()
    # This command allows the user to search through the top repos in an org
    async def search(self, ctx, *, repo, page):

[prisma spoke]

yes

[slate swan]

Then just do

title = m.content
return m.channel == channel

basic python..

[sullen shoal]

show code

[sick talon]

edited

[slate swan]

You can't put it like that

[sick talon]

why ?

[slate swan]

You can only have one keyword argument

[sullen shoal]

yes

[slate swan]

So replace the order of arguments

[sullen shoal]

https://github.com/m-y-x-i/Kreklie-discord-bot/blob/main/cogs/global_events.py#L21-L28
this is an example of a global error handler

[unkempt canyon]

cogs/global_events.py lines 21 to 28

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, CommandNotFound):
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(
            color=easyembed.getcolor(ctx=ctx),
            title='Not found',
            description=
            f'Command not found. Try this instead: `​{ctx.prefix}help`​'))```

[sullen shoal]

old code, i hate that project

[slate swan]

Something like self, ctx, page, *, repo would be good I guess

[abstract kindle]

thanks @sullen shoal

[slate swan]

hey

[sick talon]

it worked thanks

[slate swan]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def session(ctx, time, md, *, name):
    if ctx.channel.id == 912962943484066367:

        await mes.add_reaction(":heavy_check_mark:")```

Does anyone know how to @ everyone?

[sullen shoal]

just putting @everyone should work

[sick talon]

@everyone 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def session(ctx, time, md, *, name):
    if ctx.channel.id == 912962943484066367:

        await mes.add_reaction(":heavy_check_mark:")```

[slate swan]

ok

[dusk pumice]

@everyone works and @here works too!

[sick talon]

yeah 🙂

[dusk pumice]

:)

I need to use SQL...

I hate you SQL
I'm gonna kill you SQL!

[sick talon]

btw does anyone what is the error handler for the embed character limit

[quick gust]

use an error handler

[visual island]

HTTPException

[dusk pumice]

Hmmm. You are kylee

I think you were

[sick talon]

how to check which required argument is missing

[slate swan]

free place to host discord bot?

[sullen shoal]

i think the class has an attribute for it

[sick talon]

docs link ?

[sullen shoal]

idk which error youre getting

[sick talon]

i am not getting any error, i want to send which required arg is missing

[sullen shoal]

you will get an error, when its actually missing

[abstract kindle]

Lol I'm running into an error. My bot is sending everything twice....

It has something to do with on_message(self, message)

[sick talon]

i have made an error handler, i want to send the required args name along with the message

something like this :
Use all the required arguments | Missing argument : <the-missing-argument-name>

        elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
            await ctx.send("Use all the required arguments")

[abstract kindle]

Am I missing a parameter in there?

Kira you can manually put them in there at the end of the string if there aren't too many arguments

[sick talon]

maybe you should add this to your on_message event

if message.author.bot: 
  return

[boreal ravine]

@dusk pumice your nickname-

[abstract kindle]

Hahaha I thought I had that somewhere in there

[boreal ravine]

you can't I think you an only display one argument at a time thats missing

[sullen shoal]

either you're running the bot twice or you're doing something like this

h = '1'
if h: ...
if h: ...```
in this example, you didnt return so it triggers bot conditionals,
what you could do is,
```py
if h: ...
elif h: ...```

[sick talon]

i have too many commands

[sick talon]

🥲

[abstract kindle]

its in a cog. is this not good enough? ```py
if message.author == self.bot.user:
return

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.ext.commands.MissingRequiredArgument.param

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MissingRequiredArgument.param

The argument that is missing.

[sick talon]

thanks!

[sullen shoal]

just use discord.Member.bot its True when the Member is a bot

[boreal ravine]

does this return all the missing arguments?

[slate swan]

If I was to delete all messages sent in a channel I would have to do on_message and if channel.id == <id> then delete right?

Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

[boreal ravine]

use commands

[abstract kindle]

oh

[sullen shoal]

no, just the first one which is missing

[abstract kindle]

        await self.bot.process_commands(message)

its something to do with this

[boreal ravine]

wasnt what he wanted lmao nvm, misread

[abstract kindle]

Because it only happens on commands I think

[slate swan]

what?

[sullen shoal]

read the message again

[boreal ravine]

i did

[boreal ravine]

you wanna purge all the messages sent in a channel right?

[abstract kindle]

I figured it out

self.bot.process was running it twice since it's in a cog

only needed self.process

[sullen shoal]

you dont need to process if its just a listener

[slate swan]

No, I want it to happen in a listener. Delete messages as they are sent but I think an on_message and then a if statement wont be as efficient

[abstract kindle]

the whole thing is self.process_commands(message)

[boreal ravine]

Hmm sure I guess

afaik no other way is efficient

[orchid inlet]

Sup guys. How do I get started making a discord bot

is there a start guide some where

[abstract kindle]

yeah

[boreal ravine]

learn python > watch a tutorial

[orchid inlet]

wdym?

[boreal ravine]

what

[sullen shoal]

do you know to use python classes, OOP and decorators

[boreal ravine]

https://vcokltfre.dev good tutorial

[abstract kindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW8c7vT6Hl4

[boreal ravine]

functions*

[abstract kindle]

Really good tutorial

[boreal ravine]

Don't recommend them bad tutorials especially old ones

[sullen shoal]

?

[boreal ravine]

Functions too smh

[slate swan]

Before you get started with a discord bot, its recommended you have a basic understanding of python.
If you do then refer to this https://pythondiscord.com/pages/resources/guides/discordpy/

[abstract kindle]

I used that one and so far im CHILLIN

[boreal ravine]

And also what asyncio does

[orchid inlet]

No idea. I have typed 'print ("Hello World")'

[boreal ravine]

!resources then learn python first

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

https://pythondiscord.com/resources

[abstract kindle]

yeah learn some python first XD

[sullen shoal]

learn python before using it's libraries

[orchid inlet]

okay thanks

[abstract kindle]

wait @sullen shoal

For the whole process_commands(message) thing

[slate swan]

Lucas 💀💀💀💀

[abstract kindle]

im assuming you need it if it's not in a cog and its just under @bot.event

[lone aurora]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        await self.client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=discord.Game('1'))
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        await self.client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=discord.Game('2'))``` How can i make this loop endlessly? *under a cog btw*

[sullen shoal]

it doesnt need to be processed if its a listener

[slate swan]

Using tasks.loop

[abstract kindle]

are listeners only in cogs

[quick gust]

no

u can add one in ur main file too

[abstract kindle]

what are they used for?

[sullen shoal]

you can also use it with Bot.listen

[lone aurora]

Can you show me how I could do that?

[abstract kindle]

the first time I saw how to make the on_message function, they didn't use a listener

so what is the purpose of a listener with on_message?

[orchid inlet]

is there any similarities between html and python?

Or is it 2 whole different languages

[quick gust]

well it is lmao

[slate swan]

How to get avatar url as png??

[slate swan]

They are the worst, don't follow them.

[orchid inlet]

How do you make the code blocks in this chat

[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.

[orchid inlet]

'hello'

[slate swan]

\⤴️

[lone aurora]

i don't wanna fight on this but it could be quite helpful if you're starting without any previous knowledge- it could help you take off and understand the basics

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import tasks

status = '1'
@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def change_status():
    if status == '1':
        await bot.change_presence(..., discord.Game('2'))
        status = '2'
    else:
        status = '1'
        await bot.change_presence(..., discord.Game('2'))

change_status.start()

[slate swan]

Completely the opposite, it shows bad ways to code and exactly how not to start.

[orchid inlet]

´print ("Hello World")´

[slate swan]

https://i.krypt0n.co.uk/47b0458e.png

CTRL C+V

[slate swan]

Nope

[slate swan]

Yep

[lone aurora]

i see, thanks a ton

[orchid inlet]

print('Hello world!')

ah

[slate swan]

await member.display_avatar.save()

[orchid inlet]

print ("Hello World")

there you go

[slate swan]

I mean when I get the url...sometimes its not .png sometimes its .webp

I want to get the png form

possible?

Just replace it

[slate swan]

!d discord.Asset.save

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.save

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

Saves this asset into a file-like object.

[slate swan]

\🤔 Never tried

can you explain

User avatars supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF

So you can easily get any of these

!d discord.Asset.with_format

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.with\_format

with_format(format, /)```
Returns a new asset with the specified format.

[slate swan]

o ok

.with_format('png')

\👍

[slate swan]

ctx.author.avatar.with_format('png')??

.display_avatar

.avatar can be None

o ok

is it possible to send people dm with user.id which are in a txt file?

[lone aurora]

@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def change_status():
    status = '1'
    if status == '1':
        await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=discord.Game('-help'))
        status = '2'
    else:
        status == '2'
        await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=discord.Game('-help2'))

change_status.start()``` this doesn't seem to be working..

Error = `in change_presence
    await self.ws.change_presence(activity=activity, status=status, afk=afk)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'change_presence'`

[slate swan]

(its a giving payout)

[lone aurora]

@slate swan any clue?

[slate swan]

You didn't define what bot is

[lone aurora]

but im not using bot

i switched it to client

[slate swan]

Oh

Weird

How can I send author avatar (no embed/avatar url) direct file??

[slate swan]

Looking at it again it seems that self.ws is None

[visual island]

your bot isn't ready yet

[slate swan]

No clue what self.ws is supposed to be tho :kek:

Websocket connection is None

Ah makes sense

[lone aurora]

how do i make it ready?...

[visual island]

!d discord.Client.wait_until_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_until\_ready

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

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

[slate swan]

😐 😐

[visual island]

do you mean User.avatar_url_as?

[lone aurora]

so i just add this at the start of the code?

[slate swan]

I mean as an attachment and not a link

[visual island]

start of your tasks.loop yes

[lone aurora]

uhh what do i need to import for it?

[slate swan]

@visual island

[lone aurora]

@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def change_status():
    await wait_until_ready()``` also would be like this or uh

```py
await wait_until_ready()
@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def change_status():```

newbie 101

[sick talon]

how can i make a paginator which shows certain amount of elements of a list in a separate page

something like this

test = ["hi","hello","lol","kek","testing"]

i want two elements should be showed in a single page
so the first page should have hi and hello and the second one lol and kek and third one testing

it would be great even if someone gives some kind of hint

[slate swan]

how do I send dm to specific user using their id?

can i use await user.send()?

[slate swan]

yea

[sick talon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-send-a-dm

[lone aurora]

i think u need to do this

member = discord.Member
member.send("lol")

code would depend on what type of command you're trying to make ofc

[visual island]

yeah you do User.avatar_url_as().save() then send the file you just created

[sick talon]

[slate swan]

Like py a=User.avatar_url_as().save() await ctx.channel.send(file=a)??

i want to send the file as png and if user has nitro then gif

[visual island]

no

[lone aurora]

um do i need to import something for wait_until_ready?

[sullen shoal]

you need help with the paginator or making sublists of the list as a pair of two?

[slate swan]

thank you blank, kira and seatch

[slate swan]

so?

[slate swan]

\👍

[lone aurora]

i knew something for once, i need to praise myself

[visual island]

a = User.avatar_url_as(format="jpg").save("filename.jpg")
await ctx.channel.send(file=discord.File("filename.jpg"))

[lone aurora]

umm icy, can help me again?..

[visual island]

await client.wait_until_ready()

[lone aurora]

back to smashing my head in the wall

thanks

i should learn how to read the library 😔

[sick talon]

i am working on the github search repo thing command
and i want to show two search results in one page something like this

[orchid inlet]

yo guys. import discord doesnt work

[sick talon]

did you do pip install discord ?

in the command prompt

[orchid inlet]

I will try now

[sick talon]

lol why are you importing message,channel ...

[orchid inlet]

it didnt work. It said that the script chardetect.exe is installed in something thats NOT a path

[sick talon]

yeah there is no need of that

idk about discord utils module sorry

[lone aurora]

@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def change_status():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    status = '1'
    if status == '1':
        await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=discord.Game('-guide'))
        status = '2'
    else:
        status == '1'
        await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=discord.Game('-guide2'))

change_status.start()``` 

Did I change something I shouldn't have?

[sick talon]

[sullen shoal]

so the problem is..?

[sick talon]

idk how to make paginators

[sullen shoal]

reaction based or button based?

[sick talon]

reaction

[sick talon]

https://superuser.com/questions/1372793/the-script-is-installed-in-directory-which-is-not-path

[sullen shoal]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord-ext-menus

[sick talon]

thanks

[sick talon]

also btw how can i make only 2 elements show in a single page ?

[sullen shoal]

!d itertools.pairwise

[unkempt canyon]

itertools.pairwise

itertools.pairwise(iterable)```
Return successive overlapping pairs taken from the input *iterable*.

The number of 2-tuples in the output iterator will be one fewer than the number of inputs. It will be empty if the input iterable has fewer than two values.

Roughly equivalent to:

```py
def pairwise(iterable):
    # pairwise('ABCDEFG') --> AB BC CD DE EF FG
    a, b = tee(iterable)
    next(b, None)
    return zip(a, b)
```...

[sullen shoal]

AB BC
it will be like this tho

[sick talon]

thanks

[sullen shoal]

i think you have to make your own algorithm for AB CD

[sick talon]

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def msg(ctx, user):

[boreal ravine]

if i iterate through discord.Message.mentions will it have an id attribute?

[slate swan]

help pls

[boreal ravine]

why do u have 2 things with the same name

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Message.mentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.mentions

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

Warning

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

[boreal ravine]

hm

[sullen shoal]

it returns a list of Member

[boreal ravine]

so its a list with member objects right?

[sullen shoal]

yes

[boreal ravine]

ah ok ty

[sullen shoal]

keep in mind,

if the message is in a private message then the list will be of User instead.

though, both have id attribute

[visual island]

how about if the member leaves the guild? will it be User?

[boreal ravine]

ye ig

[slate swan]

before i was using id instead of userid

[visual island]

undocumented (unlike message.author) but alright

[slate swan]

but it was giving user argument missing error

codes:

@bot.command()
async def msg(ctx, user):
    user = bot.get_user(793206762101669948)
    await user.send("hehe")```

[visual island]

if you dont need the user parameter why would you have it there?

[slate swan]

if you mean on_member_remove event , it's a Member

[visual island]

no, on message.mentions i mean. "How if the member that's mentioned leaves the guild? Will it be user?"

[dusk pumice]

How to get thing like this?

[visual island]

!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.

[slate swan]

Yea it would be a user object

( the member Is kicked)

How come this code isn't getting past the if / else: statement..

If it passes the if check, it doesn't run the other code beneath the if / else

Am i being stupid rn?

[boreal ravine]

afk command flex 😎

[boreal ravine]

ur code is not in the else statement

[abstract kindle]

Can you not have code after an if / else statement?

[boreal ravine]

you can

uh

[abstract kindle]

Yeah, so I wan't to run the code after the if / else statement happens

but none of it runs. It gets to the if statement and then stops

None of the print statements beneath the if / else are happening

[visual island]

ah alright

[visual island]

just do pass or ...

[velvet tinsel]

can you DM someone in a mutual server using a bot?

[slate swan]

error says: Assets have no attribute replace

[velvet tinsel]

that's because replace doesn't exist

[slate swan]

o

wait I think I understood

[velvet tinsel]

great!

[visual island]

why would you need to use BytesIO? avatar_url_as() is enough though

[slate swan]

I used it because IDK if the avatar is .gif

[slate swan]

but my program is not working

can you help....I wish that It send the avatar as an attachment

But sends file with .webp extension as .png

[zealous dagger]

How can I change

Embed

using

Dropdown

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Asset.with_format

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.with\_format

with_format(format, /)```
Returns a new asset with the specified format.

[boreal ravine]

Use that to change it from webp to png

[zealous dagger]

I want to add in my help command

@boreal ravine

[boreal ravine]

Don't ping me

[slate swan]

But what if avatar is gif??

I am doing this because I dont think discord previews webp images

[visual island]

!d discord.User.is_avatar_animated

[unkempt canyon]

Naw.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

[visual island]

yea it exists

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Asset.is_animated

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.is\_animated

is_animated()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.9)"): Returns whether the asset is animated.

[visual island]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.is_avatar_animated

The embed is for 2.0

[boreal ravine]

2.0 go brrr, he's using 1.7.x

oh

my bad

[orchid inlet]

import discord doesnt work

And I have installed it in cmd

[valid perch]

What cmd

[visual island]

cmd prompt*

[orchid inlet]

do you know why @visual island

[visual island]

1. You're doing it wrongly
2. The cmd prompt hadn't connected your project

[orchid inlet]

how do I do that then?

[visual island]

What did you do before?

[tropic briar]

Can we use emotes that are from private servers in a bot embed or message

[visual island]

yes

[tropic briar]

How 🤔

[orchid inlet]

I did python -m pip install discord

and then in my python file in VScode I said import discord

[lethal moat]

async def ForageCommand(ctx):
    PossibleItems = ["Red berry", "Blue berry"]
    item = random.choice(PossibleItems)
    embed = nextcord.Embed(title="Searching",description="You are looking for items in the forest...",color=0x11ba2a)
    embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {ctx.author.display_name}")
    message = await ctx.reply(embed=embed, mention_author=False)
    await asyncio.sleep(5)
    embed = nextcord.Embed(title="You found something!", description=f"You found a {item}!")
    embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {ctx.author.display_name}")
    await message.edit(embed=None)
    await message.edit(embed=embed)

the edited embed never appears, no errors in terminal whatsoever
i did await the function when i ran it, otherwise there would be errors in terminal

[visual island]

<:emoji_name:emoji_id>

[tropic briar]

Oh do I have have put the bot in that server first ?

[lethal moat]

:Bar1Full:

[visual island]

The bot must be in the server where the emoji is

[orchid inlet]

I did python -m pip install discord
and then in my python file in VScode I said import discord

@visual island

[tropic briar]

Alright Thanks

[tropic briar]

You should try to install it in VS Code terminal

[orchid inlet]

how

[tropic briar]

Just find the terminal in your IDE

[orchid inlet]

uhm

im very new to this

[tropic briar]

and do
pip install discord

[tropic briar]

Just look near your console there will be a shell or terminal

[orchid inlet]

in vscode?

[visual island]

who executes the command? You?

[tropic briar]

https://images.app.goo.gl/t8fM8d6eFoXPDoSDA See there is a terminal in the image

[lethal moat]

async def ForageCommand(ctx):
    PossibleItems = ["Red berry", "Blue berry"]
    item = random.choice(PossibleItems)
    embed = nextcord.Embed(title="Searching",description="You are looking for items in the forest...",color=0x11ba2a)
    embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {ctx.author.display_name}")
    message = await ctx.reply(embed=embed, mention_author=False)
    await asyncio.sleep(5)
    embed = nextcord.Embed(title="You found something!", description=f"You found a {item}!")
    embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {ctx.author.display_name}")
    await message.edit(embed=None)
    await message.edit(embed=embed)

the edited embed never appears, no errors in terminal whatsoever
i did await the function when i ran it, otherwise there would be errors in terminal

[orchid inlet]

Oh yeah I see

where my resuslts go¨when I press run

[tropic briar]

Then type pip install discord

[tropic briar]

Huh?

Oh yes no

It is called Console

[orchid inlet]

requiremtn already satisfied

that is what it said

[tropic briar]

Hmm

Is there any error?

ModuleNotFound Error

[orchid inlet]

no

or wait

[tropic briar]

Then it is working ?

[orchid inlet]

no. there isnt any ModuleNotFound

[tropic briar]

There is no problem now

[orchid inlet]

well. It still dont work

for some odd reason

[visual island]

It's what your if statement does right? If the author id is your id, execute the aiohttp thing

what do you mean "but also says no thanks"? So it executes both the if block and the else block?

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role yeah

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

[orchid inlet]

@tropic briar I found out. I need to install an API, but I dont know how

where do I download a discord API

[shadow wraith]

bru

requirement satisfied means you've downloaded everything

giant do be spreading misinfo ngl

[sick talon]

i have a list and want to make an embed with field title as the elements in the list

[shadow wraith]

are you saying you want the title to be a random choice from your list?

if so look at this example

[sick talon]

no not random

[shadow wraith]

oh

could you elaborate what you need help with

[sick talon]

for example
if i have a list test=["first","second","third"] then the embed field should be in the same order as the order of the list elements

[shadow wraith]

hm

[sick talon]

[shadow wraith]

not sure what an embed field is but if you mean this thing i found from google

[shadow wraith]

well

hmm

i am getting the confusion already lmfao

[velvet tinsel]

For item in list

Use a for loop

[shadow wraith]

oh

[sick talon]

these are fields

[velvet tinsel]

@sick talon make a for loop

[sick talon]

[velvet tinsel]

for item in yourlist

[shadow wraith]

@velvet tinsel is right, for item in list should def do

[velvet tinsel]

And embed add field

[shadow wraith]

embed.add_field because the previous msg you just said had correct spelling 🚎

[sick talon]

i don't think i am going to get separate fields for each element

i want separate fields for each element

not all in the same field

if the list is ["first","second","third"] then the embed should look like this

[sick talon]

the grey rectangle bg represent field

@shadow wraith does it make sense now ?

[shadow wraith]

oh you want like an automated way to make fields and stuff

i could say manually doing it is an option but ehhh

[sick talon]

i cant do it manually

[shadow wraith]

embed.add_field

shoot,

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[shadow wraith]

you could always use this

but lists and embeds connection is

eh, i dont think its really possible

[sick talon]

i am working with the api and i have stored few stuff inside lists

[sick talon]

i know how to make fields manually

[shadow wraith]

then make it manually

[lethal moat]

my bot isnt able to make use of the custom emojis in my server, anyone know why?

i checked it with default discord emojis and they work

[shadow wraith]

use emoji id

do \:emojiname

type that in chat

and then you'll send an emoji id

[lethal moat]

!BarFull

[shadow wraith]

see!

now don't use :BarFull: use the emoji id

[lethal moat]

nice thanks

[shadow wraith]

did it work?

i think it did.

[sick talon]

i am working with the github api
and i am making a command which shows the search results for a specific repo
and i am storing few stuff few i need like the repo name, star, fork count
so i cant predict what will the user search so that i can do it manually

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[shadow wraith]

damn

github repositories but like idk how to make fields present lists and stuff since adding like 3 fields for example would be 3 lines of code

wait a second

hmm let me try indexing

[shadow wraith]

is the list empty like [] or has 3 contents

[covert palm]

Any idea how I can make a reaction of that if u react on a message u get a role and then u can acces the rest of the channel?

[shadow wraith]

strings*

[shadow wraith]

bro check the github examples xD

[sick talon]

this is my embed design this is how i want it to look

[sick talon]

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

[covert palm]

link?

[sick talon]

the current look of the embed is really ugly and i want to change it

[shadow wraith]

ok, so what i know

is that you have a list

seperate lists

i think indexing would work in my opinion

{list_obj[0]}

but i geniunely do not know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sick talon]

i also dont know how much will be the search list size which the user will use

i have a feature in the command where the user can adjust the search list size

so indexing wont work as well

[shadow wraith]

damn for loops and indexing won't work?

[sick talon]

i want to change it coz idk why but when i see the embed from mobile it looks like shit

this is how it looks from mobile

[shadow wraith]

it looks fine

[sick talon]

this is how it looks from PC

[shadow wraith]

is it possible to make multiple lists for when the user searches another repository?

and if so, indexing should work like that then 🚎

[sick talon]

i will clear the list when user will use the command another time

[sick talon]

how tho ?

[shadow wraith]

oh

you clear the list meaning it's a single list

💀

[sick talon]

i have 3 lists from 3 different thing
here is my code btw
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nubudivewa.py

[shadow wraith]

is it in a cog

[sick talon]

yess

[shadow wraith]

hmm

you know how to retreive list data right?

[sick talon]

yes s

[shadow wraith]

or get the list data like how much strings are there (strings in this case = repo's searched)

[sick talon]

yeah

[shadow wraith]

is indexing still possible even though it would be buggy?

wait

automating the index would be hard and not a good idea

[sick talon]

how would you use indexing ?

[slate swan]

How to send mentioned user's avatar as an attachment

[shadow wraith]

store the amount of repo's the user has searched into an int, and then try indexing it using the var/class/instance/idk you just madw

[slate swan]

[shadow wraith]

wait

your thing is seperate 💀 l

[sick talon]

[orchid inlet]

what is the guild name?

is that the name of your bot

[sick talon]

server name

[sick talon]

why attachment ?

[orchid inlet]

So fx it the guild name is Python

for the bots on this server

[shadow wraith]

guild = server

[orchid inlet]

okay ty

[shadow wraith]

bro it's not code to copy 😂

[sick talon]

you can use the avatar link

[shadow wraith]

the link would show the link and not the avatar

i think that's what he means

[sick talon]

if the bot have embed links perm then it would show the avatar

[dusk dust]

how can I check if the user who reacted to such a message is allowed to kick members?

[sick talon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sick talon]

[shadow wraith]

hmmmmmmm all i can think of is someone selects the member to be kicked when they react

they don't have a choice

wait that just means nothing 💀

[dusk dust]

what...?

[shadow wraith]

hey

does anyone know here how to subclass a help command

[sick talon]

use wait_for_reaction and has_permissions

[dusk dust]

@commands.has_permissions?

[sick talon]

yes

[dusk dust]

it wouldn't work in my case

[shadow wraith]

oh i thought everyone in your server was a member

[slate swan]

Just because some Indian People make bots to delete any link sent by anything (bot/user) in the chat

[sick talon]

why ?

[sick talon]

coz it faster with the link than the attachment

[velvet tinsel]

You can just use put it inside the for loop

What are you asking?

[sick talon]

coz you have to convert it and then save it into png

[slate swan]

Yea thats what I thinking

[slate swan]

but on the other hand, I am thinking if it is possible to do it without saving??

[velvet tinsel]

What’s happening

[dusk dust]

it is a command to report bugs... The bug report is sent to the moderation server where it is viewed. If this message has something illegal, the moderator has the option to kick this member reacting to 🚫

[sick talon]

i dont think so

[slate swan]

hmmmm

[velvet tinsel]

What is happening? Does anyone need help?

[sick talon]

why doesnt has_permisssions work ?

[dusk dust]

because the member is reporting the bug involved in the command... And members do not have kick permission

[sick talon]

yes @slate swanneeds help

[sick talon]

ooooh i understand it now btw i guess it wont work with old bug reports

[dusk dust]

don't have a "if" to help me?

[velvet tinsel]

What’s the problem

[sick talon]

@velvet tinsel

[velvet tinsel]

wait_for()

[sick talon]

you have asked for is allowed to kick members?

[velvet tinsel]

Just use wait_for()

I don’t know how to use the bot

[sick talon]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[velvet tinsel]

Yes that

[sick talon]

anyone knows how to do this ?

[dusk dust]

i know what's wait_for... But I need an "if" checking if member has such permission to function

[velvet tinsel]

Has_permissions()

[dusk dust]

and how would that be putting it in "if"?

[velvet tinsel]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48612603/permission-system-for-discord-py-bot

[sick talon]

stackoverflow down

[velvet tinsel]

if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator:

@dusk dust

[dusk dust]

ok

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[dusk dust]

and...

[velvet tinsel]

That’s that

What?

You expect me to code for you?

[dusk dust]

i need the bot to see the author of the REACTION and not the message

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[dusk dust]

because the member who is the author of the message

[sick talon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=has_permissions#checks

[velvet tinsel]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61704377/discord-py-wait-for-a-reaction-in-a-command

I don’t think stack is down

[sick talon]

🥲 its down over here

[velvet tinsel]

Damn

[velvet tinsel]

But @dusk dust should be able to access it

[dusk dust]

yes I can

[velvet tinsel]

That’s your answer

[dusk dust]

and... thank you for the patience

[velvet tinsel]

No problem

[sick talon]

@velvet tinsel

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[sick talon]

[velvet tinsel]

What do you mean by field title

[sick talon]

these

[velvet tinsel]

embed.add_field(text=“text”)

Ohh

[orchid inlet]

how do I make an basic respond command for my bot

[velvet tinsel]

That

I don’t have my pc with me tho

[orchid inlet]

fx one of the guild members says hello, it will send a hello

[velvet tinsel]

Bot.listen()

[sick talon]

use on_message event

[velvet tinsel]

On_message()

[velvet tinsel]

Yes like this

[sick talon]

np

[velvet tinsel]

But make a for loop

And then embed.add_field(text=“text”)

[sick talon]

is this issue with the api or my code ?

[velvet tinsel]

It’s just how it looks on your mobile

[orchid inlet]

like this on_message ("Hello Bozo")

[velvet tinsel]

No

[orchid inlet]

huh

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_message , it takes a message argument

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

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

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

Warning

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

[sick talon]

no

[slate swan]

which is not defined by you

[velvet tinsel]

Finally an experienced person

[sick talon]

oohhh

[orchid inlet]

wdym?

[velvet tinsel]

Read the docs

[slate swan]

Click on the blue text in the embed , it takes you to an example

[orchid inlet]

oh

bruh, im blind

But this is for delete, I want it to respond

[velvet tinsel]

Starts_with

Or whatever it’s called

I only used it once

[slate swan]

Here's an example ```py
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return

if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
    await message.channel.send('Hello!')

Quick Questions: Doespy with open('avatar.png', "wb+") as e:

wb+ method exist??

[velvet tinsel]

I don’t think so

[slate swan]

Can wb create a file if not exist

b is for binary files iirc

Yea

Ik I want to copy a user avatar data to avatar.png file

but file does not exist

[orchid inlet]

Okay. im guessing I need to add the members of my server in this command

[slate swan]

You can just save it actually...

how how how??

.save()????

!d discord.Asset.save

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.save

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

Saves this asset into a file-like object.

[slate swan]

ooo

\👍

[orchid inlet]

@slate swan in the client.user command I need to type in the members right?

or something like that

[slate swan]

Depends on what you want to do

user.avatar_url.save("avatar.png")```??

Blank , you on 1.7.3?

yes

[orchid inlet]

I want it to respond on Hello from anyone on the server

[slate swan]

gimme a moment

[sick talon]

@slate swan can you help me out

[wheat heart]

please help

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(msg):
    if msg.content=="Hello":
        #Do stuff

[slate swan]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

[wheat heart]

it write?

[velvet tinsel]

hello

[slate swan]

Yoir indentation is wrong

[wheat heart]

idk

[slate swan]

member.avatar_url_as("png").save()

See the example how it should look like

[velvet tinsel]

yay let's go winrar

[slate swan]

oook

[orchid inlet]

then what for the respond command

[slate swan]

Indentation is basic python though, might want to take a closer look at it

[orchid inlet]

but thanks!

[slate swan]

replace do stuff with your cmds

[wheat heart]

@slate swan

hoooow

[slate swan]

Still wrong

[slate swan]

Iterate thru the listpy e = discord.Embed() for item in list: e.add_field(name= item.....

[orchid inlet]

but what commands

[slate swan]

why not user.avatar.save()??

[slate swan]

what you want the bot to do??

[slate swan]

The if statement needs to be at the same indentation level as the response =

[wheat heart]

ok

[orchid inlet]

Right now the bot is registring that if a message says "hello" it will do something. And I want it to respond with "hello"

[sick talon]

i guess that will put all the items in a single field but i want them in separate fields

[slate swan]

the code I sent would do the same

how do I send dm to multiple users using id?(i have 10) is it possible to use json for this?? like adding 10 user id in the file and then making the bot send them dm?

[slate swan]

blah = "something"
if ....:
    if ....:
        do_something()
else:
    do_something_else()

Very basic python knowledge, you should take a closer look at how indentation works.

[slate swan]

o so replace #Do stuff withpy await msg.reply("Hello")

And the entire code you showed probably doesn't match the indentation of the code above

[sick talon]

ok i will try

[slate swan]

Search on the internet how indentation in python works, you will find good wikis to read and get more information about it, and what you should change.

And not msg but message

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add "discord.on_reaction_add"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

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

[slate swan]

I'd also recommend to use #❓｜how-to-get-help as indentation is something that doesn't really have anything to do with bot development, this is just basic Python

[slate swan]

!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.

[orchid inlet]

do I need to press something for it to work?

[wheat heart]

please link

[covert palm]

and what do u add in the payload?

[slate swan]

I'm sure you can search on your own, it's not that hard to use Google and search for "Python indentation"

[lapis wyvern]

help plsssssssssssss

[sick talon]

ok can you also help me with this

i have the desp of the field in a list as well how to do it ?

[lapis wyvern]

help ples

[slate swan]

payload is something you get from the api , you dont need to define it , an alternative of raw reaction add is on_reaction_add it requires member intents tho

[slate swan]

Add () after green and don't spam, you won't get more attention

[slate swan]

you can use range() and index of list then

[orchid inlet]

Do I need to press something in vs code for it to work?

[dapper cobalt]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

2. Tabs or Spaces?

can anyone tell me how do I send this to multiple users?

Remove the () on "Hello"

[lapis wyvern]

thats what I did

[velvet tinsel]

I did do that

[slate swan]

No it's not

[lapis wyvern]

???????????

[slate swan]

like is it possible to add
bot.fetch_users(ID,ID)?

[velvet tinsel]

Learn python

[slate swan]

ask someone sorry I am a bit busy

[orchid inlet]

npnp

[slate swan]

Is it the same for you?

[velvet tinsel]

ctx.author.id

[slate swan]

names = []
desc = []
for i in range(#number of fields +1 here
     embed.add_field(name = name[i] ,  value= desc [i])```

get some idea from this , I'm in a class brb

[slate swan]

hmm wouldnt that dm the person who wrote the command?

[lapis wyvern]

ohhhhhh

[velvet tinsel]

how do you prompt for user input in discord.py to get any result? For example, asking for anything?

[sick talon]

thankss!!!

[velvet tinsel]

no, it gets their id

[lapis wyvern]

thanks

[slate swan]

As I said, wait_for

[orchid inlet]

But I have said if message

[slate swan]

And wait for a message

[orchid inlet]

@client.event async def on_message(message): if message.content==("Hello") await message.reply("Hello")

[velvet tinsel]

sigh learn python idents

[velvet tinsel]

finally, thank you

[orchid inlet]

haha

[lapis wyvern]

works lol

[orchid inlet]

was that what you needed?

[lapis wyvern]

himm ima add footer text

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)

Example from the docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=wait_for#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[velvet tinsel]

No, I want the m.content to be anything

[slate swan]

Then remove the check

[velvet tinsel]

yes. Also, use three backticks it works better

[slate swan]

Change from

return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

to

return m.channel == channel

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[velvet tinsel]

Oh, I was thinking about that. Thank you.

[orchid inlet]

´hello´

[slate swan]

like dis?

    await user.send(f"{wala}")

[velvet tinsel]

no it's `

[orchid inlet]

I already use those

[velvet tinsel]

Uhhh...no

[slate swan]

Not correctly though

!code This is how to use them

[orchid inlet]

hello

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[slate swan]

This is just one

[orchid inlet]

hello

[slate swan]

You need three of them

[velvet tinsel]

Yes

[orchid inlet]

three backticks in the front of the text and in the back?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

Read that maybe?

[orchid inlet]

hello

oooooh

[slate swan]

It literally shows an example on how it works..

[orchid inlet]

is there a reason why it has the $ in front of greet

[boreal ravine]

this is so wrong

[slate swan]

It's an example from the docs

[orchid inlet]

ah okay

[slate swan]

It's meant to simulate a command

With prefix $

[slate swan]

i know

thats why need help

Use get_user(id) or fetch_user(id)

[thick sigil]

Thats your problem, you dont even read when they gave you the answer, stop rushing your code and you will make less errors

[boreal ravine]

Just do datetime.utcnow(), you've already imported datetime which is a class from the datetime module

[slate swan]

Sadly not, you need to get every user separately

[slate swan]

ohh

thanks

[lapis wyvern]

even when I do that I Get a error

on other brackets

did that

[slate swan]

You still haven't changed it to datetime as I already said before

[lapis wyvern]

?

let me scroll back

[slate swan]

It's not datatime it's datetime

[slate swan]

[velvet tinsel]

Yes but if I send something like Bob I want it to DM Bob pls

[slate swan]

[lapis wyvern]

weird cant find watching

let me look into more

[slate swan]

format="png", it's a keyword argument needed

[velvet tinsel]

I would like this not msg.author

[slate swan]

o

[slate swan]

Then you need to mention the user, or give a user ID when sending your message

[lapis wyvern]

wait I Have a status cycle

so how do I do it

[velvet tinsel]

I did mention the user

How do you message the user mentioned

[lapis wyvern]

nvm

right in my face the whole time

[slate swan]

Then you can use msg.mentions to get a list of mentioned users in the message

Just get the element at index 0 if you only mention one user

[lapis wyvern]

ok nvm

I get a error
