discord-bots

[velvet tinsel]

we refer every code as thingy

f in the chat

[slate swan]

im trying to make the command ignore users who it can not dm, including itself

[arctic python]

Maybe. In which case it'd be continue.

[slate swan]

otherwise, dm

[arctic python]

Can you show the whole function?

[slate swan]

Yeah😔

[velvet tinsel]

kept raising the error non stop

until sherlock told me that error handlers exist for a reason

[slate swan]

botid = [913528283281358948]

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(ctx):
    if discord.User.id in botid:
        pass
    for member in bot.get_all_members():
#stuff
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        print(f'done')```

thats what i have right now

[velvet tinsel]

then use return

i think....

[slate swan]

return would cancel the execution if im not wrong

[slate swan]

Are you tring to dm all members in a guild?

[velvet tinsel]

isn't that what you want to do?

[velvet tinsel]

looks like it

[velvet tinsel]

you did botid

[slate swan]

i want the bot to dm the ppl its going to be added to, but ignore itself, and users who have dms off (arent messagable)

[velvet tinsel]

so DM everyone in the server?

[slate swan]

instead of bot.id, ik, im making it read the check

[sullen shoal]

just passing an if conditional is same as not having it

[slate swan]

yes, its very few people but regardless

[slate swan]

Use a try and except if their dms are off it wont do anything

[sage otter]

No it doesn’t. It does exactly what it looks like it does. It returns nothing.

[velvet tinsel]

ok

[slate swan]

And just use ctx.guild.members

[velvet tinsel]

and why botid that's wrong

[velvet tinsel]

(they also want the id as well)

[slate swan]

its for a list

[arctic python]

You need to put the if statement inside the loop. So like:

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(ctx):
    for member in bot.get_all_members():
        if member.id == bot_id:
          continue
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        print(f'done')
``` ish

[slate swan]

what are the aliases for continue?

is that like pass? or return?

[slate swan]

^

[arctic python]

What do you mean by "aliases"?

[slate swan]

ill try that4

[velvet tinsel]

test = ctx.guild.members.id

[sullen shoal]

continue skips the current iteration

[velvet tinsel]

that was a test to see if you can get the ids

[slate swan]

so like, an alias for != would be is not

[velvet tinsel]

or you can make a for loop

[sullen shoal]

its not an alias

[arctic python]

Err, there's no "alias" for continue.

[sullen shoal]

both have different uses

[arctic python]

And yeah, != and is not are different operators.

[velvet tinsel]

unless they mean

@client.command(aliases=["test"])

but I dont think so

[slate swan]

not that

Pass = ignores
returns = returns
continue = keeps going
break = breaks the func

[slate swan]

oh i see

[arctic python]

breaks the loop*

[velvet tinsel]

*return returns nothing

[slate swan]

That😔

[sage otter]

dementati too fast :/

[velvet tinsel]

and return has to be in a func as well

[slate swan]

No returns the output😔

[velvet tinsel]

dementati too smort

[slate swan]

this would prevent the bot from dming itself right?

[velvet tinsel]

ofc it's dementati

he's a demon at python

[slate swan]

Fr i forgot its loop and not func😔

[arctic python]

It would skip whatever you are doing later in the current loop iteration if the current member is the bot.

[sullen shoal]

"keeps going" might not be the best words to describe it,
it skips the current iteration

[slate swan]

And wouldn't dming all members get you rate limited

[slate swan]

Whatever

[sullen shoal]

!e
for i in range(30):
continue
print("it wont work")

[unkempt canyon]

just making your mind sharp

[velvet tinsel]

damn

[sullen shoal]

thats its job

[velvet tinsel]

im dead

[slate swan]

Are you ok😭

[velvet tinsel]

no

[slate swan]

😔

[velvet tinsel]

it's 9:30 here

i needa sleep

night night everyone

[slate swan]

5:30pm

[slate swan]

Gn

[sullen shoal]

i gotta go sleep too, my sleeping schedule kinda fucked up

almost 3am

gn

[sage otter]

I mean you're a programmer. Sounds pretty normal to me…

[slate swan]

Gn

[slate swan]

Yeah

Im kinda feeling like a crazy person

So ima use json as a db😈

[tawdry perch]

Json is not a database tho

[slate swan]

Thats the point

[arctic python]

I'm kinda feeling like a crazy person, so I'mma travel into the city on a kid's tricycle.

That's what that sounds like.

It's like, sure, you can do that, and it'll get you there eventually. But it's not efficient.

[slate swan]

Thats the point json isnt suited for it lmao

[sage otter]

I mean tbh json isn’t meant for config either but people still use it. Crazy world.

[slate swan]

Yeah😭

This chat is always dead in the evenings but mostly active in the morning and nights

[arctic python]

That depends on where you live.

[cedar stream]

Ig ppl are enthusiastic and full of ideas in the morning and give up on their project by the evening

Do yall still use dpy or did u switch to different fork?

[dark pawn]

can someone help me with this problem. im not that good at python so im not sure how to create and save instances of classes for each user. this is what i have but it never remembers that the class for the user exists

[velvet tinsel]

not crazy enough

[cedar stream]

Code?

[velvet tinsel]

I'm going to code python on an enigma

[velvet tinsel]

dont ask to ask

[arctic python]

It's not super crazy, it's just... I dunno, not a good idea.

[velvet tinsel]

I'm gonna code python on an engima, I'm that crazy

[velvet tinsel]

error?

[cedar stream]

U might wanna use commands.Bot instead of discord.Client

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(ctx):
    members = ctx.guild.members
    for member in members:
        try:
#embed stuff
            await member.send(embed=embed)
            print(f'done')
        except:
            print("Something went wrong")```
error: ```    members = ctx.guild.members
AttributeError: 'Guild' object has no attribute 'guild'

[arctic python]

An enigma is not Turing-complete, so that won't work.

That's like saying I'm gonna go into the city by riding a washing machine.

[cedar stream]

Parameter is not ctx, It’ s guild

[arctic python]

It's a machine, but it's not a vehicle.

[slate swan]

so just guild.members?

[cedar stream]

Yes

Also rename ctx to guild

[slate swan]

NameError: name 'guild' is not defined```, should i do discord.Guild?

[arctic python]

!paste Would you mind using the service described in the box below to paste your code instead of a screenshot? It's easier to read this way.

[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.

[cedar stream]

on_guild_join(guild: discord.Guild)

It’ s not ctx

It’ s discord.Guild

[slate swan]

so just async def on_guild_join(guild : discord.Guild): not async def on_guild_join(ctx, guild : discord.Guild):

[slate swan]

Yeah

[cedar stream]

Yes

Look it up in docs

[dark pawn]

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

[slate swan]

Disnake is one of the best forks

[cedar stream]

I agree

I switched to that

[slate swan]

Love the pfp

[cedar stream]

Ty

[slate swan]

Beautiful walter

[cedar stream]

Tyty

[dark pawn]

so it recognizes that the instance of the class named with the users id exists until the next event

then it says the instance doesnt exist

[sage otter]

Tbh most of the forks that people made are complete garbage. Especially that edpy shit. Said they’d stay with Danny’s original design and keep everything original. And guess what. It’s like a completely different library.

[cedar stream]

What is this supposed to do?

[sage otter]

I’ll honestly stay with the main library until it breaks. Then move to novus.

[dark pawn]

im trying to figure out how to create classes for each user who types in the discord. like a profile

[cedar stream]

Disnake is same and it has support for slash commands and components and since I mainly use that I just went with disnake

[slate swan]

Its same syntax but a bit complicated relating to buttons

[sage otter]

Most of the components on dpys master branch

Slash commands aren’t even that special. To me they are just shitty versions of message commands.

The fact that discord is wanting people to go to them is baffling.

[cedar stream]

Ig u could create user entity and save it into db via some orm

[cedar stream]

It actually makes buttons easier with disnake.ui

[slate swan]

Yeah ik

[cedar stream]

Yea but classic commands wont be supported anymore

[sage otter]

That’s depends

If you're bots not verified you can continue to use them.

If you're bots verified figure out a way to get message intent.

[cedar stream]

Wont they be removing them in 2022?

[sage otter]

If you have automated mod features you’ll more than likely get accepted for the intent.

[cedar stream]

Message intent is mainly for on_message event

[sage otter]

Your bot won’t able to read message content anymore and know if someone’s trying to invoke a message command.

[cedar stream]

So discord.py will be useless w/o support for slash commands

[sage otter]

Not really.

[sage otter]

.

[cedar stream]

Rip carl-bot

[sage otter]

Privledged intent enforcement is towards verified bots.

[sage otter]

Carl has auto-mod features. If the owner applies for the intent, nothing will probably change.

[cedar stream]

It probably already has it

[sage otter]

🤷‍♂️

[cedar stream]

Otherwise it wouldn’t be able to use on message event

And idk how they would make automod without it

[sage otter]

No 🤦‍♂️. Every bot can still operate as normal until they start enforcing the intent some time in 2022

[cedar stream]

But u alr need to apply for the intent if u verified?

[sage otter]

can apply

[cedar stream]

If u need it

[sage otter]

They opened the applications early

[cedar stream]

Where can I read that stuff

Do they have it on dev portal?

I fr thought they were gonna completely wipe classic commands

[sage otter]

ddevs

[cedar stream]

Ty

[sage otter]

That’s where they make the announcements about all that stuff.

[cedar stream]

Lemme see

[sage otter]

https://discord.gg/discord-developers

[cedar stream]

It says u can still get content of the message where bot is mentioned in

[sage otter]

🤷‍♂️

[cedar stream]

They will just make it so u cant see message content

Basically uwill still know when someone sent something but u wont know what they sent, except in dms or if bot is mentioned

[zenith basin]

it won't let me create bot inv link
?
help

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild : discord.Guild):
    members = guild.members
    for member in members:
        try:        
#embed stuff
            await member.send(embed=embed)
            asyncio.sleep(2)
            print(f'dmed {member.name}#{member.discriminator}')
        except:
            print("Something went wrong")``` when the execution finishes, the console gets flodded with "Something Went Wrong", how can i close the loop after all the members are dmed? and how can i limit it to 1 DM per 2 seconds? to prevent ratelimits

[zenith basin]

pls

[cedar stream]

What are you trying to do

[cedar stream]

Send code

[zenith basin]

https://gyazo.com/679d29adb3248c9d54fde65a585bd4d7

[slate swan]

when the bot joins the server i put it in, i want it to dm the users in the server. how can i limit it to 1 dm per 2 seconds to prevent getting ratelimited?

[slate swan]

You have to go to url

[cedar stream]

For member in members:
send message
asyncio.sleep

[slate swan]

    for member in members:
        try:
#embed stuff
            await member.send(embed=embed)
            asyncio.sleep(2)``` like this?

[cedar stream]

The exception ur getting could be something else

[slate swan]

@slate swan dont use a bare exception

[cedar stream]

So just remove try clause and see what errors u get

[slate swan]

ecxept Exception for e:
print(e)

right?

[cedar stream]

Just remove try clause for now

[slate swan]

except Exception as e:
    print(e)

[cedar stream]

Just remove the try clause

[slate swan]

Yeah

i got this error

[cedar stream]

It’ s bad practice to just catch every exception

[slate swan]

  asyncio.sleep(2)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback```

[cedar stream]

Await asyncio.sleep

[slate swan]

ohhh right

[slate swan]

await asyncio.sleep(3)

Its a coroutine it must be awaited

[zenith basin]

?

[cedar stream]

Also if you get an exception it helps to read it

[slate swan]

In bot theirs 2 tabs

Theirs a url to make a button for a bot and another for a random url invite

[zenith basin]

I got it to wrk

[slate swan]

Nice!

@zenith basin btw your nickname is wrong

Pip should be lower case: pip install Wolf

[abstract kindle]

can someone explain what pass_context = True means?

[slate swan]

Its not really needed anymore

[manic wing]

its deprecated, but it basically made ctx an optional/required argument

now ctx is always required

[abstract kindle]

Okay, I've just seen it in some examples and I was confused as to what it was

Thanks guys

[manic wing]

most examples are crap

[slate swan]

Yeah

[slate swan]

Your welcome!

[vague falcon]

does anyone have python command to bring bot online?

[slate swan]

Wdym

[vague falcon]

What?

[slate swan]

What do you mean?

[vague falcon]

Forgets...

[slate swan]

[cerulean osprey]

I think he means like… if the bot’s replit (for example) is stopped then is it possible to turn it on

With a command

(I think)

[slate swan]

I dont think so

https://oml.wtf/tNub1Rsm i just noticed this, hows groovy not have a status?

[manic wing]

it just...chooses not to have one :p

[cerulean osprey]

I don’t think so either, since if whatever the bot is running on is currently stopped.. the command won’t even work

[vague falcon]

That's what I meant

[cerulean osprey]

Yeah, it’s not possible I don’t think

Since the bot won’t take any commands if it’s off

[manic wing]

you make a second backup bot

[slate swan]

Yeah thats just nonsense

[cerulean osprey]

Yeah lol

[pliant gulch]

Because they set an interaction endpoint URL

Seems like groovy has switched to fully interaction based stuff?

[pliant gulch]

The bot is on, it is just waiting for commands on an HTTP server

[slate swan]

@pliant gulch how do you know that?

And how do you know this kind of stuff

[pliant gulch]

Because I made my own implementation for interactions over HTTP

[slate swan]

Hmmmn

[pliant gulch]

I did the same thing to my test client and noticed it lost a presence but still received commands

Although commands as in interactions only

It doesn't have any websocket unless you do HTTP Interaction and websocket combined

[slate swan]

I see🤔

[slate swan]

Thats cool🤔

[pliant gulch]

Pretty cool yes, but I had no idea this is what happened until like a week later

[slate swan]

how can i do that

[pliant gulch]

When I was testing INTERACTION_CREATE dispatching I wasn't receiving it

Until I realized I set the endpoint

[pliant gulch]

You do it on the developer portal, although I wouldn't do it unless you know what your doing with interactions

[slate swan]

okay

[pliant gulch]

I mean, you will still receive events if your using gateway but you won't receive INTERACTION_CREATE

And if you want to receive it you need a HTTP server that verifies a requests is from discord

[slate swan]

You make my head hurt

[pliant gulch]

Me too

[slate swan]

Your very knowledgeable about those types of topics like servers,and backend stuff

[pliant gulch]

Not really

[slate swan]

Yes really,but how did you learn about those types of topics

[pliant gulch]

Just expose yourself to more things ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You get it overtime ig

[slate swan]

Makes sense,i mean i do it here because everybody is always talking about stuff i dont know but i learn from it

[cedar stream]

Read articles

And work on projects

[slate swan]

I do

[cedar stream]

If ur into backend u can also learn a framework like django or quarkus

[slate swan]

Yeah i am

[cedar stream]

Check out quarkus

[slate swan]

Idk im not really lean to web development

[cedar stream]

What are u lean to?

[slate swan]

Idrk ig anything related to apis

[cedar stream]

Api is a contract on how two applications interact

[slate swan]

Yeah ik

[cedar stream]

Literally every library u use has an api

Api is not related to web

Or rest service

[slate swan]

Ye

Backend uses apis too

[cedar stream]

Yes as backend developer you need to create a good and logical api that frontent dev will use

[abstract kindle]

hey guys, every time i try to have my bot send a DM to the author of the message, nothing happens and I get no errors...

What is happening???

[cedar stream]

Code?

[slate swan]

Wait doesnt a back end dev make use of a api?

[abstract kindle]

 # REGISTERS THE USER // CREATES ACCOUNT IN masterdbmac.sqlite DATABASE
    @commands.command()
    async def register(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("Hey!")
        uid = ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_letters) for i in range(5))
        await self.send(ctx.author, f"Your unique ID is {uid}.")

[cedar stream]

Send ss of code

[slate swan]

Wait doesnt a back end dev make use of a api?

[cedar stream]

He can use a 3rd party api if ge needs to

[visual island]

self.send()?

[slate swan]

Then whats a dev that uses apis to make programs ?

[abstract kindle]

its in a cog

[slate swan]

A front end?

[cedar stream]

Just use ctx.author.send

[abstract kindle]

? that works?

[cedar stream]

Every dev uses apis to make programs

[cedar stream]

Yes

Go read about apis

[slate swan]

Ima look at some articles

[cedar stream]

Yes

[slate swan]

I have lmao

[cedar stream]

Read about what an api is

[slate swan]

I have bruh

[cedar stream]

Lemme give u an article

[abstract kindle]

I've been checking on the internet about it and everything is saying client.send

[slate swan]

Why would i use a api when i dont even know what it is

[visual island]

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

[cedar stream]

https://www.mulesoft.com/resources/api/what-is-an-api read this

[cedar stream]

Well what do you think an api is then

[cedar stream]

Read the official docs

[abstract kindle]

Ohhhhh, it's if i already have the user.id from message.author

[cedar stream]

!d discord.Member.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[abstract kindle]

I see now. Everything else was telling me how to do it when it was separate from an event

[cedar stream]

Also It’ s bot not client

[abstract kindle]

yeah

And if its in a cog, it would be self, right?

[cedar stream]

No

Send me ss of ur file

self would be an instance of the cog

[abstract kindle]

yeah so if I have self.bot = bot at the top of the code

[cedar stream]

It’ s self.bot then

Not self

And you dont have it at the top, you put it in a constructor hopefully

[abstract kindle]

its under the whole def __init__ thing

[cedar stream]

Yes that is good

[abstract kindle]

Oh I see, it's self.bot not self

[cedar stream]

Yes

[abstract kindle]

ok got it

[cedar stream]

Still use ctx.author.send

[slate swan]

And api is basically like a translator

[manic wing]

[slate swan]

?

[manic wing]

well, in short; you’re wrong.

[slate swan]

I mean in your perspective but i really didn't specified it really

[daring olive]

the dpy library is a wrapper for the discord API

[slate swan]

Yeah?

[daring olive]

yup

[slate swan]

Lol

[daring olive]

otherwise you'd be using this https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro

[slate swan]

Yeah

[slate swan]

Whats your take on a api personally i think its a tranlater example
english is the back end and the user is spanish and the api is the translater that knows both languages.am i wrong?

[daring olive]

hmm i don't think that's quite the right analogy. it's more like the API end points are little lego pieces and the dpy library is a wrapper which lets you build using those lego pieces with its predefined classes

idk if that's the best analogy either tbh

[slate swan]

Kinda seems the same to me,but thats a good example

[bronze pilot]

Made a YouTube music streaming feature for my bot, but I am confused with the following line of code:

source = await discord.FFmpegOpusAudio.from_probe(url2, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS)

I understand the function of single and double asterisks when declaring functions, but why are there two asterisks before FFMPEG_OPTIONS?

[cerulean osprey]

How would I make my bot do something if someone starts typing in a specific channel?

[daring olive]

streaming youtube media outside of official platform options is against their tos so please don't ask here

[slate swan]

Theirs something for it but i forgot it,check docs

[cerulean osprey]

Damnit I forgot docs was a thing

[bronze pilot]

got it. still a valid question though, no?

[cerulean osprey]

Mb lol

[slate swan]

Yeah sorry

[cerulean osprey]

Oh no it’s fine, I need to start reading docs before asking

[slate swan]

Yeah its better practice

[cerulean osprey]

Yeah lol

[slate swan]

I always do it

[slate swan]

!ytdl @bronze pilot sorry we dont help with stuff that break tos

[unkempt canyon]

[pliant gulch]

APIs are just services which you can use to communicate to other services

[bronze pilot]

ye I was told already

[slate swan]

Yeah but not the reason

[slate swan]

So basically what i said?

[pliant gulch]

Yea basically

[cerulean osprey]

Looking on docs it says discord.on_typing so would it be like

@client.event
async def on_typing(<channel id>):
    #<code>

?

[slate swan]

Yeah i knew that guy was tripping

[slate swan]

Idrk cuz i havent checked it out

I think so

[cerulean osprey]

Alr lol, sorry for bothering, Ill try it out and if you want Ill let you know if it works

[slate swan]

No its alr, okie

[rocky mist]

can someone help?

[cerulean osprey]

Maybe

[rocky mist]

how

[cerulean osprey]

Whats the error?

[rocky mist]

idk

[cerulean osprey]

[rocky mist]

Nothing wrong

[slate swan]

First dont change your presence on_ready event

[cerulean osprey]

The red underline

[cerulean osprey]

o wait why not?

[rocky mist]

why tho

[cerulean osprey]

[rocky mist]

its normal but today its like

[slate swan]

When the bot is connecting to the gateway and a event happens discord will disconnect you because its a atom action

Do a task for it

[cerulean osprey]

Will that happen everytime?

[slate swan]

No but it is a atom action

Which i do not recommend

[cerulean osprey]

Hmmm, so how would I use a task for it?

[slate swan]

async def startup():
    #change presence etc

bot.task.create_loop(startup())

Maybe the bottom will give you a error i forgot its kinda long

@cerulean osprey btw atom means:
an action that cannot be interrupted

[cerulean osprey]

Hmmm, so this is currently my on_ready

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')
    poiu = random.choice(songs)
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=str(poiu)))

    bert = client.get_channel(898815070207877133)
    await bert.send('I have come online once more')

So as of now, nothing so far has happened for it to error. Is it maybe bc of the print statement making sure the bot is ready before running the change presence?

[slate swan]

No not at all

[cerulean osprey]

Or have I just been lucky

[slate swan]

Its just discord sometimes disconnects you because as said its a atom action

[slate swan]

Yes

[visual island]

its bot.loop.create_task()

[slate swan]

Yeah that

Its too long😭

[cerulean osprey]

Damn, alright so it would be

async def startup():
    #<change presence witchcraft>

bot.loop.creat_task(startup())```
?

[slate swan]

Yeh

[cerulean osprey]

thank you

[slate swan]

Forgot the e in create

[pliant gulch]

What is the problem right now?

[cerulean osprey]

Oh yeah

[pliant gulch]

Whats with the create_task here

[cerulean osprey]

As of right now nothing, but just wanna make sure nothing happens in the future so Im moving my change presence from on_ready to a task

[slate swan]

[pliant gulch]

Why though

You can just pass the activity to the bots constructor

[cerulean osprey]

^

[slate swan]

I mean

[pliant gulch]

commands.Bot(activity=..., ...)

[slate swan]

That works fine too

[pliant gulch]

This will set the presence directly when IDENTIFYING

Which is done when connecting to the gateway

[slate swan]

The bots disconnects when its trying to connect to the gateway or when the bots cache is loading?

[pliant gulch]

The change_presence and disconnection issue is to some weird fuckery with READY event and what not iirc

[cerulean osprey]

So in this case, my presence is set by a random song from a set list, so would I move that list above commands.Bot() and do

poiu = random.choice(songs)
client = commands.Bot(activity = client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=str(poiu))), ...)```?

[pliant gulch]

No you just pass the discord.Activity instead of client.change_presence

[slate swan]

Bruh i was told it disconnects you cause discord doesnt like when you do it

[distant warren]

I want a discord bot to create a voice channel

[cerulean osprey]

So other than that, yeah?

[pliant gulch]

Should be right

[cerulean osprey]

Lemme try

[pliant gulch]

Well, I mean basically you could word it like that ig

[slate swan]

Still confused if its cuz if the gateway or the cache😔

[visual island]

gateway

[slate swan]

Thx

[visual island]

but iirc discord.py reconnects on 1006 right?

[slate swan]

Wtf why that number😭

[distant warren]

How can I make a Discord.py bot make a voice channel?

[pliant gulch]

1006? There isn't an error code like that on discord API unless you mean websocket close code

And I'm unsure how discord.py reconnects so I can't say

[visual island]

yeah

[pliant gulch]

But at least from my experience the websocket only reconnects when it receives a RECONNECT OpCode

Being 7

[cerulean osprey]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="-", 
          help_command = None,
          poiu = random.choice(songs)
          activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=str(poiu)))
``` its giving me an error on the `activity` line

[pliant gulch]

I do know that discord.py has an exponential backoff when connecting so that could be what you mean

[pliant gulch]

Show the error, and why are you assigning poiu inside of the constructor????

[visual island]

"Discord has a high chance to completely disconnect you during the READY or GUILD_CREATE events (1006 close code) and there is nothing you can do to prevent it."
at least from the tag

[pliant gulch]

Yea, it would be 1006 websocket close code

[cerulean osprey]

Yk that is a good question, I just copy and pasted what I had in the on_ready

And the error is just invalid syntax

[pliant gulch]

Heres the RFC

[visual island]

the it should reconnect then? Why would change_presence in on_ready a problem

[pliant gulch]

It shouldn't reconnect cause it errored thus cancelling the connection. But like I said earlier discord.py has an exponential backoff for when they connect which can reconnect the websocket maybe

[slate swan]

Straight from docs

[distant warren]

ok

[slate swan]

Yw

[pliant gulch]

And after reading this closer, seems like for whatever reason sending the presence payload to the websocket during the time frame of READY being dispatched fucked something up

Can't be sure of it unless discord dev have disclosed it alr or smthg as we can't see the source I don't think

[visual island]

and this?

[visual island]

oh

[pliant gulch]

This is just discord.py doing a reconnect

[pliant gulch]

[patent lark]

[cerulean osprey]

Oh nvm its erroring at something else that I added but was highlighting the activity line.. that makes sense 😎 so I need help again bc Im a little confused as you will see in the code Imma provide

 @client.event
async def on_typing(channel=909685766244945921):
    await channel.send(f'Woah, {<@{user.id}>}! Before you send your message, just be warned, you will be softbanned if you message here!')
``` this is designed to warn people before they send messages in my spam catcher channel, but Im not exactly sure how to ping them. The thing I tried was an honest shot in the dark and had no real expectations of working. How would I ping them?

[pliant gulch]

I'm not versed in all of discord.py's internals so it can be the exponential backoff or something else

[patent lark]

!d discord.on_typing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_typing

discord.on_typing(channel, user, when)```
Called when someone begins typing a message.

The `channel` parameter can be a [`abc.Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") instance. Which could either be [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel"), [`GroupChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.GroupChannel "discord.GroupChannel"), or [`DMChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.DMChannel "discord.DMChannel").

If the `channel` is a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") then the `user` parameter is a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member"), otherwise it is a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

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

[cerulean osprey]

Yeah I read that on docs lol, but how would I ping them?

[pliant gulch]

You receive user

Thus you can use .mention

[cerulean osprey]

So user.mention?

[pliant gulch]

Yes

[cerulean osprey]

TypeError: on_typing() takes from 0 to 1 positional arguments but 3 were given :o

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
def func(): ...
func(1, 2, 3)

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
003 | TypeError: func() takes 0 positional arguments but 3 were given

[pliant gulch]

You can see why this would error right?

[cerulean osprey]

Yeah, but if you are abt to ask me to explain then I cant bc idk how to word it

[pliant gulch]

Ok well if you know why it is erroring then you should know how to fix it right

[cerulean osprey]

Yes, but also no. Ik that I would have to do on_typing(channel=<id>, user=<insert thing you put for user>, when=<insert thing> but idk how to fill in the last two

And when I leave it at user it yells at me

[pliant gulch]

No, you wouldn't do channel=

You just add the parameters to the function signature like the doc showed

!e ```py
def func(param): ...
func(1)

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :warning: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

[No output]

[cerulean osprey]

Ohhhhhhhhh

[pliant gulch]

🤔

[cerulean osprey]

So then what would I put for the other 2 then? Just user and when?

[pliant gulch]

What do you think?

[cerulean osprey]

I think that when I do it still yells at me with scary red underlining

[pliant gulch]

Can you show what you are doing exactly

[cerulean osprey]

async def on_typing(909685766244945921, user, when):

[pliant gulch]

Man

Why on earth are you setting the parameter as the id?

[pliant gulch]

[slate swan]

How do I print something when someone replied to one of my bot's msgs?

[visual island]

on_message and look message.author and message.reference

[slate swan]

Reference

[cerulean osprey]

Bc I wanted to set it to a specific channel and have 0 clue how to do it with on_typing() so I just attempted to guess

[visual island]

um, @pliant gulch https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/gateway.py#L582 this thing reconnects by raising an Exception?

[unkempt canyon]

discord/gateway.py line 582

raise ReconnectWebSocket(self.shard_id) from None```

[pliant gulch]

Yea so I was right earlier

They use exponential backoff to reconnect

[abstract kindle]

        await ctx.author.send("Create a username.")
        check = message_check(channel=ctx.author.dm_channel)
        username = await self.bot.wait_for("message", timeout=30.0, check=check)
        await ctx.author.send(f"Your username is {username}")

Can someone tell me why this is returning this:

Your username is <Message id=913584734020440104 channel=<DMChannel id=913566891073744967 recipient=<User id=326903703422500866 name='Kazido' discriminator='0139' bot=False>> type=<MessageType.default: 0> author=<User id=326903703422500866 name='Kazido' discriminator='0139' bot=False> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>

[visual island]

oh it's handled https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/client.py#L513 here

[distant warren]

@client.event
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel):
  #things

in the things comment, I want to check if the channel is a voice channel or a text channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord/client.py line 513

except ReconnectWebSocket as e:```

[visual island]

username is discord.Message currently

[abstract kindle]

How would I convert that to a string? str(username) just puts the same thing in..

[visual island]

if channel.type in (ChannelType.voice, ChannelType.text): ...

[visual island]

convert what?

if you string the message, it would appear like that

[abstract kindle]

basically I want their response to be a string that I can store as a variable

[tiny ibex]

How to search for a video using ytdl??

[visual island]

do you mean the message content?

How to check user's spotify activity??

[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.Spotify

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Spotify

class discord.Spotify```
Represents a Spotify listening activity from Discord. This is a special case of [`Activity`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Activity "discord.Activity") that makes it easier to work with the Spotify integration.

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 string ‘Spotify’.

[tiny ibex]

Forgot to mention
Using direct API

[maiden fable]

Why do u even wanna use the direct API bro

[tiny ibex]

Cuz why not

It's a good practice

[maiden fable]

Breh I ain't kidding

[tiny ibex]

To improve skills IG

[maiden fable]

Lemme see

Hmm idrk tbh

Try doing source diving

[tiny ibex]

Hmm ty for trying

[visual island]

GET /guilds/{guild_id}/members/{member_id} then use the response header and get 'activities' key

[tiny ibex]

Oh tysm

[visual island]

[maiden fable]

Ah, headers. Hmm

[slate swan]

help pls

[flint cosmos]

Hi so I am trying to give somebody a role via my bot and I was wondering, what argument do I put in the add_roles()?

[visual island]

you are defining your bot as nextcord.ext.commands.bot as it should be ``nextcord.ext.commands.Bot()`

[visual island]

discord.Role object

you can get it via Guild.get_role()

[slate swan]

@visual island

[visual island]

.

[slate swan]

oh

sorry, thx

[flint cosmos]

defaultRole = role = Guild.get_role(defaultRoleID)

Is this correct?

[slate swan]

from nextcord.ext.commands import Bot

?

[visual island]

no, guild should be Guild instance

not directly the class

[flint cosmos]

Im confused lol

[visual island]

show where you define your bot

[flint cosmos]

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

[visual island]

not you

[flint cosmos]

Whoops

I didnt read lol my bad

[slate swan]

you would be using an instance of the class , ie. Not just the actual class
Which you get from any attribute like ctx or message

[visual island]

like ctx.guild or something

[visual island]

ah I'm guessing that youre using commands.bot import in the cog file and using it in the Cog

[visual island]

show your imports in this file

[visual island]

yeah

use self.bot.user instead

[slate swan]

thx

[flint cosmos]

So wait does it required to be in a function

[slate swan]

and this help @visual island

[gloomy coral]

GUYS

[flint cosmos]

HI

[gloomy coral]

I MESSED UP

[flint cosmos]

DID YOU MESS UP??

OH NO THE WORLDS BURNING

[visual island]

use self.bot.latency too

[slate swan]

thx

[gloomy coral]

i wanted to put a reminder everyday at 8 30 but this ended up happening

[visual island]

no, you can use bot.get_guild() for the guild too

[flint cosmos]

Ok im confused even more, what code do I have to write to make a variable for my role ?

[visual island]

where are you trying to add the role?

[gloomy coral]

this shld work right?

[visual island]

read it

[slate swan]

I cant understand the problem

[flint cosmos]

Go you your developer portal and enable intents

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

ty

[flint cosmos]

No problem

[flint cosmos]

I am adding it in a on_member_join but I dont want to define the variable in that function

[visual island]

member.guild.get_role(...)

[flint cosmos]

What do I put for member, as I said im not defining it inside of the on_member_join

[gloomy coral]

!eval py import datetime from datetime now = datetime.now() dt_string = now.strftime("%H %M") print(dt_string)

[unkempt canyon]

@gloomy coral :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 |   File "<string>", line 1
002 |     import datetime from datetime
003 |                     ^^^^
004 | SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[gloomy coral]

why?

[visual island]

from datetime import datetime

[visual island]

you defined it in the parameter

[gloomy coral]

aaah

[flint cosmos]

But im not defining the variable in the on_member_join?

[visual island]

is that a problem?

[flint cosmos]

My question is, if im not defining my role variable inside of the on_member_join, what do I make the "member" in the member.guild.get_role(...)

[visual island]

oh

[gloomy coral]

help me out wht shld i do

#bot-commands message

[visual island]

just use bot.get_guild() for the guild then

[visual island]

why would you convert it to int?

you can just do if dt_string == "15 00" or ...:

[gloomy coral]

ok

[flint cosmos]

So do I just have a seperate var that says guild = client.get_guild() then?

[gloomy coral]

ok

[visual island]

yes

[gloomy coral]

@visual island this will work now?

sure

help

@visual island

[visual island]

what's wrong?

[visual island]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord-ext-menus you can use this or use your own pagination system

[gloomy coral]

this sent at

so shldnt it not sent now

cuz i want it exactly at this time

wuts the prob
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ekotuhebez.py

[visual island]

probably cause it's using your local timezone?

try using utcnow

[sick talon]

thanks

[graceful mulch]

the theme is awesome which IDE?

[shrewd kraken]

how do i make a text channel with permissions only for a certain user (im using a ticket system and don't want to use roles)

[shrewd kraken]

i think vim

[graceful mulch]

Well the basic idea is that that channel need to be private and visible only for the user and thesupport team members

Isnt it

[shrewd kraken]

yeop

[graceful mulch]

Oh

But there are 2 prob , 1 how wud you add that person only 2 how wud you know the supportteam member as every server has different names

[shrewd kraken]

no its just for my server

so the second one isnt a problem

[graceful mulch]

Oh

Then I will have to see , btw my space keybarely working

[shrewd kraken]

ic

[distant warren]

I want to use threading with discord

how do I do it?

[shrewd kraken]

uhh why?

[distant warren]

because I want to make the bot run faster

[shrewd kraken]

if anything it will make it slower

[graceful mulch]

@shrewd kraken

this might work

[shrewd kraken]

seems cool 👍

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.

[graceful mulch]

I can send some more code if you cant figure out

[shrewd kraken]

no need

[distant warren]

I wanna run threads with discord.py

[graceful mulch]

I cant send discord's message limittoo

[distant warren]

can anyone help?

[shrewd kraken]

for what

[graceful mulch]

I dont have experience

[distant warren]

for making it run faster

[graceful mulch]

But I have a bot

[shrewd kraken]

most of the time threading can make it slower

[pliant gulch]

I don't think threading would make discord.py faster

Their ratelimiter uses Lock's thus allowing only one thread in at a time

[shrewd kraken]

^ exactly

[pliant gulch]

So requests would be bound to one thread at a time

shameless flex but my api wrapper allows concurrent requests as I use semaphores instead of locks

[shrewd kraken]

although i think using multiprocessing with an eval cmd might work

[shrewd kraken]

do u have slash commadns

[distant warren]

how?

[pliant gulch]

I do sorta they are half implemented

[shrewd kraken]

do they work in cogs

[pliant gulch]

I haven't tested that but with cogs they should work?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @dark pawn!

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

is there a reason why my command isnt working?

at the very bottom

[distant warren]

@client.command()
async def say(ctx,*,msgsay):
    async def do():
        await ctx.message.delete()
        await ctx.send(msgsay)
    t = threading.Thread(target=do).start()

for example, threading doesnt work with this because I need an await inside of it

[shrewd kraken]

you could use it to execute your command

but i wouldnt recommend it

[distant warren]

how??

[shrewd kraken]

in eval

[distant warren]

wdym

[shrewd kraken]

idk but its possible but it might be slower

[distant warren]

i dont understand

can you show me

[shrewd kraken]

multiprocessing is basically threading but better

Here let me simplify

guild = client.get_guild(serverID)

defaultRoleID = 912534307443183646
defaultRole = guild.get_role(defaultRoleID)

That is my code essentially ^^

This iswhat Imade butI want the time in my local time which is ist(gmt+5.30)

[slate swan]

<t:>

and then after : put unix time

<t:0>

[graceful mulch]

?

Ididnt understand

[slate swan]

<t:number>

Number is unix time

[dark pawn]

is there a reason commands arent working for me

[slate swan]

<t:1637900336>

Like that

[slate swan]

Probably because u coded something wrong

[sweet geyser]

Wait what

[slate swan]

<t:1637900336>

[graceful mulch]

<t:1637900336>

No

[dark pawn]

i never code wrong. its always perfect first try

[graceful mulch]

I want in my bot

[slate swan]

Yeah do the same in ur bot

[flint cosmos]

Can anybody help?

[sullen agate]

BOT , what a stupid thing to have

[graceful mulch]

Whatg

It isamazing

[visual island]

so why are you here?

[slate swan]

Thats not nice

[supple thorn]

Lmao aternos

[sullen agate]

what

[slate swan]

😔 discord bots bad?

[sullen agate]

i ssay a stupid thing for fun and ppl ping me

its was not meant to be guys

[patent lark]

for some reason, when trying to get a commands.Context.author it returns NoneType? i dont see how or why? i even tried chunking the guild yet no luck.

[dark pawn]

can anyone figure out why my command is doing literally nothing at the bottom of my code?

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

[slate swan]

help
not working

@patent lark@slate swan@slate swan

whats not working

[slate swan]

dm

[patent lark]

whats your error

[slate swan]

do you get the except part everytime?

[slate swan]

no first time

Do you have an on_message event?

restart the bot

[slate swan]

Check this

[slate swan]

dont think thats the issue else the commandnotfound wont be raised

[slate swan]

It is.

There is no command processing either way

[patent lark]

even if commands werent being processed, it wouldnt raise a CommandNotFound error, it would simply do nothing.

[slate swan]

There still is no command processing

¯_(ツ)_/¯

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

not working

no error now

[slate swan]

there is , the bot checks that the message begins with the prefix

worked now

nvm

There is no command processing... Just look the screenshot sent.....

And it's not a @bot.listen so it will never process the command

[patent lark]

right, but if this were to be their issue, it would not raise a CommandNotFound error

correct me if im wrong?

[slate swan]

Well I'm surprised it even processes the commands with a normal on_message event overwriting

on_message events "may" block the code , its not important that it always does.

I'm pretty sure it always does

As you overwrite the default one, which contains processing stuff, with your custom code which doesn't.

[keen lark]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = ''

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='-')


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is ready")


@client.command()
async def kick(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await member.kick(reason=reason)


@client.command()
async def ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await member.ban(reason=reason)

client.run(TOKEN)```

why this does not work .-.

[patent lark]

whats your error

[slate swan]

um yea , but as you can see it wont raise the commandnotfound error

(line12 is bot.run)

[keen lark]

there is no error

but it cannot run

[slate swan]

someone already told you about that on_message thing in lucas' server , did you fix it?

[keen lark]

oof lol

yes i did

[slate swan]

show the on_message event you have now

[slate swan]

how can I check if something is in a message

[hollow agate]

@client.command()
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member, time=None, *, reason=None):
    format = datetime.now(tz=pytz.timezone('America/Tijuana'))
    formatted = format.strftime("%I:%M %p")
    b = DT.datetime.now().timestamp()
    modlogs = client.get_channel(872909569196707870)
    db = await aiosqlite.connect('database.db')
    cursor = await db.execute('SELECT * FROM mutes')
    rows = await cursor.fetchall()
    muted = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="Muted")
    farmer = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="Farmers")
    apprentice = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, id=907127783849861120)
    if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
        if member is None:
            e = await ctx.reply('You must mention someone to mute!')
            await asyncio.sleep(5)
            await e.delete()
            await ctx.message.delete()
            return

            await asyncio.sleep(5)
            await a.delete()
            await ctx.message.delete()
            return
        if reason is None:
            if time[-1] in ['s', 'm', 'h', 'd']:``` This is quite messy, but is there a way that I can somehow determine if the `s`, `m`, `h`, and `d` are touching another letter, if so it does something?

```py
            if time[-1] in ['s', 'm', 'h', 'd']:``` after this line.

[cedar stream]

Use pytimeparse to parse time

[hollow agate]

Could you explain?

[cedar stream]

You can get message content as string by doing discord.Message.content

[cedar stream]

Google pytimeparse

It’ s a library which u can use to parse time periods

[hollow agate]

I'm not sure if that'll help me fully xd

When I try to do .mute @hollow agate Spam Bot, it determines that as a s so it tries to put seconds- everything else works.

[cedar stream]

No…

[cedar stream]

https://pypi.org/project/pytimeparse/

[hollow agate]

Interesting, is there not a better way? I'll need to rewrite my entire command and it's quite a lot in there

[cedar stream]

Can u send a ss of command

[abstract kindle]

hey guys, what would some general code look like for an if statement that checks to see if a user reacted to a message in a DM with a certain reaction?

I'm trying some code rn, but it's not working and no errors are coming through

@commands.Cog.listener()
            async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user):
                if reaction.emoji == '✅':
                    await ctx.author.send("Adding account to database...")

Is this right?

[cedar stream]

Show ss of code

Can u send ss

Cus I cant read this on mobile

[abstract kindle]

I'm on a mac and I'm not sure how to do it lol

[hot laurel]

hi

[covert igloo]

Command shift 4

[cedar stream]

It’ s shift + cmd + 4

[cedar stream]

Hi

[covert igloo]

Shift cmd? Didn't know u could do that

[abstract kindle]

i think its discord.on_reaction_add

!d discord.on_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_add

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

Note

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

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

Note

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

[keen talon]

👀

[cedar stream]

How did u get cyx

Ctx

[keen talon]

U can't get it here

[cedar stream]

You dont have context parameter

[keen talon]

It only works on command

[cedar stream]

U have user

[abstract kindle]

Oh i see

This is in a DM channel btw

[cedar stream]

Use user.send

[abstract kindle]

AH okay

[covert igloo]

Can u use user without adding user:discord.Member as a parameter

[keen talon]

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

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

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

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

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

Examples

Basic usage...

[slate swan]

He can still define it using get_context

[covert igloo]

Yea I see, I mean in the ss he sent

[cedar stream]

Yes, doing :discord.Member is just type-hinting which is not necessary in python

[keen talon]

https://c.tenor.com/CDClB-mqD7sAAAAM/tom-and-jerry-tom-salute.gif

[slate swan]

No. user will not be passed, and thus wouldn't be available for use

unless you're talking about the :discord.Member part

[covert igloo]

Yes

[cedar stream]

If u want this to work with non cached messages too use on_raw_reaction_add

[abstract kindle]

What does non cached messages mean?

[slate swan]

Messages that are not in cache

[abstract kindle]

Also the user.send thing isn't working

I hate you @slate swan

[slate swan]

what

[slate swan]

Error?

[cedar stream]

https://searchstorage.techtarget.com/definition/cache?amp=1

[abstract kindle]

There is no error

In this case then would I use on_raw_reaction_add?

[keen talon]

Maybe try making it a str first

[slate swan]

basically using the raw version would make your event work for all messages, rather than only on messages sent after the bot connected to discord

[abstract kindle]

Oh okay, thank you for explaining

[cedar stream]

Just use raw version

[slate swan]

You should try and see if it fixes the problem yeah

[abstract kindle]

I did, and it didn't lol

[slate swan]

Code?

[abstract kindle]

It probably has something to do with the fact that it's being reacted to in a DM

[slate swan]

send full code

[cedar stream]

Did u read the docs of on_raw_reaction add before doing it?

Because if you just changed the name it wont work

[abstract kindle]

This is most of the code for this part

[slate swan]

the raw version doesn't have those parameters

[abstract kindle]

It's mostly creating an embed, sending it, adding reactions to it, and then waiting for a reaction

[slate swan]

read the docs

[cedar stream]

Now go into docs and look up which parameters does raw version take

[cedar stream]

It has payload

[abstract kindle]

lmao what would i put for payload

[cedar stream]

Docs

[abstract kindle]

Ye i was just there

[slate swan]

you could also instead use wait_for, which would be much preferred here

[cedar stream]

Did u read,

[abstract kindle]

@slate swan I was trying to user wait_for earlier but it was giving me some trouble. Couldn't figure out the try: thing

[slate swan]

the try and except thing?

[cedar stream]

All u need

[abstract kindle]

yeah, I was confused with the whole def check() thing and such

So @cedar stream which one of those from that list would go in the parameters??

I don't know what to pick

[slate swan]

you could just use ```
check=lambda r: r.channel == some_channel

[cedar stream]

Those are attributes of the parameter

[abstract kindle]

so what do i put

in the darn parameter

[slate swan]

just payload

[cedar stream]

U put in payload

[abstract kindle]

Das it?

[slate swan]

yes

[cedar stream]

Payload is RawReactionActionEvent

So u can do payload.channel_id etc.

[abstract kindle]

ok it still didn't work 😦

[slate swan]

error?

[abstract kindle]

No error bro, idk what is happening

[cedar stream]

Show code

[slate swan]

full code

[cedar stream]

Send ss

[slate swan]

paste it, don't screenshor

[cedar stream]

I cant read pasted

[abstract kindle]

for this ENTIRE cog?

[slate swan]

no

[cedar stream]

Cus on mobile

[slate swan]

only the things related to your problem

[cedar stream]

No just event

[slate swan]

e.g. the event and the embed construction etc

[cedar stream]

Just send a ss of event and then paste the code

[slate swan]

yeah

[abstract kindle]

Ok this is most of it

[keen talon]

Share code man

Not screenshots

[cedar stream]

It’ s underlined red

[abstract kindle]

@keen talon

[cedar stream]

I asked him cus I can read it easier on mobile

[slate swan]

just send the code

[keen talon]

Oh ok 😃

[cedar stream]

Basically you dont have user parameter anymore so you need to get it from payload

                elif payload.emoji == '❌':
                    await user.send("Account creation terminated.")

[cedar stream]

It’ s underlined red

[abstract kindle]

IE payload.user.send?

[slate swan]

get user first

[slate swan]

payload.member

[keen talon]

In my opinion, u should use mongo db for the data

[abstract kindle]

oh payload.member

[cedar stream]

payload.member.send

[abstract kindle]

No. I'm not learning more code. I just learned how to use SQlite and im a beginner to this stuff

[keen talon]

Alright then 😊

[abstract kindle]

Wouldn't I have to learn a bunch of new syntax??

[slate swan]

not really

[keen talon]

It is very easy tbh

[slate swan]

surely there must be python libraries to interact with a mongodb database

[cedar stream]

U don’t necessarily need mongo here since he wont be having billions of rows in each table

[abstract kindle]

wtf man I wish this thing would give me som fuckin errors

[cedar stream]

Pymongo, motor, MongoEngine, MotorEngine

[slate swan]

does the embed sending and reacting work?

[abstract kindle]

I run code, do things, get 0 errors

[keen talon]

But the format of data will suit mongo ig

[cedar stream]

Look at all red underlined things

[abstract kindle]

Yes. It works up until I react to the message. Then nothing happens

[slate swan]

that could mean the event isn't being triggered

[abstract kindle]

Yeah, i wish my app would tell me that

[keen talon]
