discord-bots

[tawdry perch]

they are logged to mods channel

[slate swan]

Guys, i'm making a discord bot with python, how i check if have a None value in an array?

[cedar stream]

No, to db

[maiden fable]

activity=None

[tawdry perch]

as well to there*

[cedar stream]

?

[maiden fable]

Use a for loop and it's called a list in Python

[slate swan]

oh thx

[cedar stream]

If None in list mby

[sullen shoal]

another way should be, yes that ^

[cedar stream]

Try this, otherwise u have to write a for loop

[maiden fable]

Nvm yea

[slate swan]

i can give a example wait

[maiden fable]

That's a faster way. Sorry

[cedar stream]

If None in your_list:
return True

Try something like this

[slate swan]

tried but no help

[maiden fable]

Code

[cedar stream]

Try self.bot.activity = None

Not sure tho

[tawdry perch]

breh I have most of commands for modeation that mee6 has

[cedar stream]

Then u have enough ig

[sullen shoal]

mee6sux

[tawdry perch]

but the fact is @unkempt canyon > than other mod bots

[cedar stream]

It does

[quick gust]

I have that bot blocked

[slate swan]

i havent initialised self.bot

THE BEST EXAMPLE FOREVER

someSplitList = message.content.split(' ')
command = someSplitList[0]
firstArg = someSplitList[1]
if firstArg == None:
   await message.channel.send('You need mention a user!')

[cedar stream]

Are u in a cog?

[velvet tinsel]

Yes?

[slate swan]

single main.py

[slate swan]

is a example

[sullen shoal]

:/

[velvet tinsel]

Oh I thought you needed help

[slate swan]

yeey

[cedar stream]

Then do it w/o self

[tawdry perch]

now I got a command idea: a note command

[slate swan]

isn't itpy bot.change_presence(activity=None)

[velvet tinsel]

I don’t know how to help so I’m gonna sit back and watch this

[sullen shoal]

imma copy that

[cedar stream]

You know u can do message.mentions to get all user mentions in a list?

[tawdry perch]

lol

[velvet tinsel]

A bookmark command like sir Lancebot?

[cedar stream]

bot.activity = None

[tawdry perch]

haha I alrd made it yesterday

[sullen shoal]

though editing is gonnn be pain but i think i can do sometthing about that

[slate swan]

its a example i dont will use mentions

[slate swan]

in commands.bot()???

[cedar stream]

What?

[slate swan]

where should I put bot.activity

[velvet tinsel]

Damn

[tawdry perch]

there are few more but these are main commands

[slate swan]

I would like to understand if it is possible to check if there really is this value in the table

[cedar stream]

Make a tic-tac-toe and loser gets banned

[tawdry perch]

nah, I'm looking for useful ideas

[cedar stream]

If “value” in list:

[tawdry perch]

You may notice it's focused on moderation

[meager chasm]

Perhaps a ghost ping detector? Detects ghost pings --> stores in a database, then a user can use a command to check if they were ghost pinged or not

[cedar stream]

Bro idk, u gotta ask moderators what commands they want, not devs

[slate swan]

helppy await client.change_presence(activity=None)not working

[cedar stream]

Or you just make on message event, inside u put wait_for(message_deleted) with certain timeout and if it gets triggered you know they ghost pinged

[cedar stream]

do client.activity = None

[slate swan]

where should I type that

[tawdry perch]

I have a event that stores messages when they get deleted if they contain mention

[cedar stream]

Same place u type this

[maiden fable]

That won't work

[velvet tinsel]

Did you do aliases?

[slate swan]

await?

[slate swan]

add custom auto responders for admins

[tawdry perch]

You mean command aliases? Yes

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[tawdry perch]

Autorespond?

[cedar stream]

Ik, It’ s just a desperate attempt

[velvet tinsel]

Spam checker

[tawdry perch]

Exists

[maiden fable]

U didn't send it to the API lol

[velvet tinsel]

F

[cedar stream]

😭

[velvet tinsel]

What’s the problem?

[cedar stream]

Lmao mby u can make direct request to api

[slate swan]

When someone say the name of an admin, bot will send a message which is like```
Person: Blank

Bot: He is the one who suggested this function

Person: Yea!```

[cedar stream]

No problem, just me being dumb

[velvet tinsel]

That’s not true

You’re not dumb

[slate swan]

is this coroutine

i have to use await?

[cedar stream]

No this is pure retardism from my side, dont do it 😂

[tawdry perch]

Does not sound useful

[slate swan]

:( Any other way?

[velvet tinsel]

What like when I ping mods literally everyday?

[cedar stream]

Occasionally

[slate swan]

A coroutine is something that has async or needs to be awaited

[slate swan]

mod mail??

[cedar stream]

Make a direct request to discord api

[velvet tinsel]

[slate swan]

ticket open?

[slate swan]

Whats the url and params??

[tawdry perch]

I have a simple mod mail inbuilt to bot

[velvet tinsel]

What do you need Blank?

[cedar stream]

Go to documentation on discord developer portal

[sullen shoal]

http://www.whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com/

[slate swan]

remove bot presence

This is kinda ot ngl

[velvet tinsel]

Will None work? No?

[velvet tinsel]

It’s not

[cedar stream]

He wants to set bot presence and after some time remove it

[slate swan]

nope

[cedar stream]

Nope

[slate swan]

Seems like it

[cedar stream]

Make a direct api call

Look in discord dev portal docs

[velvet tinsel]

We’re discussing discord bots how is that ot

[slate swan]

Some of you

[velvet tinsel]

I wish there was a rerun command in discord py

😭

[cedar stream]

Wdym rerun?

[velvet tinsel]

You can make a function and run the first function and after some time run the other function

[velvet tinsel]

Won’t work nvm

[cedar stream]

Cant u?

What?

[velvet tinsel]

Me being silly ignore that

[cedar stream]

Okok

[slate swan]

Why would you?

[velvet tinsel]

Remove bot presence

[slate swan]

Thats dumb

[cedar stream]

Use disnake

[slate swan]

Use disnake

@cedar stream bro?

[sullen shoal]

disnake Use

[cedar stream]

Yes

[slate swan]

Thats my line

[cedar stream]

Not anymore

[velvet tinsel]

Yes looked it up on GitHub

[slate swan]

[velvet tinsel]

They didn’t provide enough info

[cedar stream]

What did u find?

[slate swan]

Cant find 😢

[velvet tinsel]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/658

Myb that

[slate swan]

I saw that already but not sure what to do

[velvet tinsel]

Idk

[slate swan]

Do you just give people repos by their name

[velvet tinsel]

Why

[velvet tinsel]

Idk

[slate swan]

[velvet tinsel]

💀

Idk

I don’t know how to remove bot presence

I guess you can’t 🤷‍♂️

[cedar stream]

Bruh just create custom activity and set It’ s name as \u200b 😂

[velvet tinsel]

👌

[cedar stream]

Direct api call

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[slate swan]

Or just do:
pip install system64

😳

[velvet tinsel]

No it won’t work

[cedar stream]

Or just do sudo rm -rf .

[velvet tinsel]

You have to use the make it work function

[slate swan]

Yes it will

[velvet tinsel]

😂👌

[cedar stream]

Just brick the computer

[slate swan]

Just throw it away

[cedar stream]

Brick it and throw it away

[slate swan]

And burn it

[velvet tinsel]

Before that kick it

And use your tools of torture

[cedar stream]

And rm -rf

[slate swan]

And make it explode

[cedar stream]

Sudo explode

[sick talon]

!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.

[abstract kindle]

How would I stop a specific command from raising an error?

[sick talon]

use error handler

[slate swan]

Its a fork and its all the same syntax

[abstract kindle]

        elif isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
            rightchannel = self.bot.get_channel(912978002332221470)
            if str(ctx.command) == 'register':
                await ctx.send(f"Please use {ctx.command} in {rightchannel.mention}.")
            elif str(ctx.command) == 'deleteaccount':
                return
            else:
                await ctx.send(f"Only registered users can use {ctx.command} in {rightchannel.mention}.")

[sick talon]

wdym ?

the path of the db ?

[slate swan]

Try and except

[abstract kindle]

In the middle if statement, I'm trying to make it so if the command is named 'deleteaccount', it won't bring up the error

[slate swan]

Not a bare except btw*

Yeah its all the same you just have to change discord to disnake

[sick talon]

wdym by path of the command

[slate swan]

its:

except discord.Forbidden:

[abstract kindle]

@slate swan would I do ```py
try:
ctx.command
except commands.CheckFailure:
pass

Mainly wondering about how I would try the command, like the syntax for that

[boreal ravine]

use ctx.command.name

[sullen shoal]

make an error handler instead

[boreal ravine]

ctx.command is the command object afaik

[abstract kindle]

Scroll up @sullen shoal

[sullen shoal]

my answer remains the same

[abstract kindle]

cool

[slate swan]

Yeah

Yeah i think so

Im not really familiar with slash commands

I do know how to make them bot im not good with them

[cedar stream]

Yes

[slate swan]

Disnake?

[cedar stream]

In cogs u use commands.slash_command

[jade jolt]

how do i get a message then get the context for that message

[cedar stream]

U cant, what do u wanna do

[slate swan]

for a cog its [e-mail]()iirc

[jade jolt]

need to get a message i sent for the bot to edit inside a loop

[cedar stream]

u can do message.edit

No need for ctx

Did u register test guilds?

[slate swan]

Did you added the cog?

[jade jolt]

but i still need the message object

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_context

await get_context(message, *, cls=<class 'discord.ext.commands.context.Context'>)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Returns the invocation context from the message.

This is a more low-level counter-part for [`process_commands()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands "discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands") to allow users more fine grained control over the processing.

The returned context is not guaranteed to be a valid invocation context, [`Context.valid`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.valid "discord.ext.commands.Context.valid") must be checked to make sure it is. If the context is not valid then it is not a valid candidate to be invoked under [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

[cedar stream]

Didnt u say u have it?

[jade jolt]

no

i have the id for it, i need to get the message from it

[cedar stream]

U can do bot.get_message(msg_id)

[jade jolt]

thank you 😃

[cedar stream]

Send ss of the cog

[cedar stream]

Np

Yes

[slate swan]

No you can't, it needs to be on a channel object. And it's onlt fetch_message

!d discord.abc.Messageable.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[slate swan]

It's part of the 1.x migration.

[cedar stream]

Fetch message is an api call, you can get message the way I told him if message is cached

[slate swan]

You can't.

Search the documentation by yourself.

[cedar stream]

Did u install disnake?

[cedar stream]

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=get_message#disnake.ext.commands.Bot.get_message

Run pip install disnake

[slate swan]

Oh disnake, interesting that they add removed and changed functions 🤡

Got replaced for a reason on discord.py - don't get it why they would add it again, but whatever

[cedar stream]

Yes he is asking for disnake 😂

Cant u see red underlined stuff?

[slate swan]

Yet they still kept the migration

Got to love disnake developers 🤡

[cedar stream]

Well it has support for components and interactions and slash so I use it

Are u in venv?

[slate swan]

Yeah but still, it's weird

[cedar stream]

The api is nice tho

[slate swan]

They don't have an API

[cedar stream]

Virtual environment

[slate swan]

Or do they have an API?

[cedar stream]

How can u make a library w/o api?

[slate swan]

You said "the" API. It's not theirs

[cedar stream]

Are u installing disnake in virtual environment

[slate swan]

It's Discord's API

[slate swan]

Has nothing to do with disnake

[cedar stream]

What do u think api is?

[slate swan]

The API is what Discord provides

[cedar stream]

Api in general

[slate swan]

disnake is an API wrapper, totally not the same

[cedar stream]

What do u think it is

[slate swan]

Might want to check the definitions and difference between both of them.

[cedar stream]

I think you dont rly understand what an api is

[slate swan]

Disnake isnt a api its an api wrapper for the discord api

I'm making an API myself I'm pretty sure I know what it means..

[slate swan]

Savage

[cedar stream]

Tell me what do u think it means

[slate swan]

disnake interacts with Discord's API

Nothing more

[cedar stream]

It also has It’ s own api

[slate swan]

Bro i think you dont know what it mwans either

[slate swan]

I really doubt

Last night you told me i didnt while i know plenty about apis

Let me join their support server and ask that.

[cedar stream]

Well, you are wrong

[slate swan]

Will come back

[cedar stream]

Go ahead

Are u in a virtual environment?

[slate swan]

Is pip*

Pip should be installed with python

If you cant use it,its not in the environment variables

Wdym by run pip

[valid galleon]

is there any method to get the id of the person who added the bot to the server? i want to send them a message and also the guild owner a message referring to the bot's setup process so yeah

try py -m pip install

[cedar stream]

Find out anything?

[slate swan]

He doesnt

He needs to check if pip is in the environment vars

[slate swan]

I've asked about it although I know the answer and will be taken for a clown in the server.
I will get back to you once I got the expected answer, to then make you check the definition of an API and an API wrapper again.

[valid galleon]

oh

[valid galleon]

any idea about this?

[slate swan]

You go the your computers environment variables

[cedar stream]

You need to check the definition of api 😭

[slate swan]

No you need to do that.

[slate swan]

Are you ok?

[valid galleon]

disnake is an api wrapper

[cedar stream]

He doesn’t know what api is, he thinks api is a restful server u make http requests to

[slate swan]

If you've never made any REST or websockets API I wouldn't ask people that do it to check what's the difference between an API and an API wrapper is.

[cedar stream]

Yes but it also has It’ s api

[slate swan]

Were talking about an api:
Application programming interface

disnake is an API wrapper only as it only communicates with Discord's API.

Without Discord's API, disnake is nothing.

[sick talon]

how to get guild id inside a task ?

[cedar stream]

I made rest apis, but rest api != restful server

[valid galleon]

what?

it connects to the discord API

it doesnt have its own api

[cedar stream]

Api is a contract between two applications so they can talk to each other

Not rest service

[cedar stream]

Every library has It’ s api

[valid galleon]

i know that. im saying that disnake just connects to the official API and then when you use disnake its acting as the "middleman"(or whatever you call it) between your code and the discord API

[slate swan]

https://youtu.be/mm8AGCW2-YI

[valid galleon]

d.js is also an api wrapper

[cedar stream]

Api doesnt mean a http endpoint where u send requests

[slate swan]

Bro.

Hey there! i was wondering how can i re-create the
pls fight command from dank memer but in py
can anyone help me out?

[sick talon]

[cedar stream]

That is clear to me, but for u to use disnake, you need to use It’ s api

[slate swan]

Technically i get his point, but for the sake of simplicity nah

[slate swan]

You add .py as the prefix

[cedar stream]

It has

[slate swan]

oops sorry my bad

And i wouldnt really call that an api, because its not another application interacting with it

[sick talon]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

Disnake is a api wrapper for the discord api can you guys get it?

[valid galleon]

bruh

[cedar stream]

Api is a contract for two applications to interact, or two pieces of software if u prefer that

Lemme give yall an article

[valid galleon]

it doesnt need its own api

[cedar stream]

It clearly explains what an api is

[slate swan]

Discord.py a wrapper
Disnake a fork of the discord.py wrapper
They all interact with the discors api

[slate swan]

And that's my point, the API is between Discord and disnake, not disnake.

The API is provided by Discord.

So what application is interacting with disnake?

[cedar stream]

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

[slate swan]

Python interpreter?

[cedar stream]

Ur code, It’ s not necessarily application

[slate swan]

@cedar stream i think for you a api is this:
A pool in a beach

My god

[velvet tinsel]

what

[cedar stream]

It can be a piece of software

[slate swan]

You don't get it do you?

[slate swan]

Then it is not an API

[cedar stream]

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

Read this pls

[viral citrus]

Is someone able to tell me how to retrieve permissions from the permission integer returned by discord api?
Example: 2147483647
I want to get if the person has manage_guild
https://ibb.co/BLJ7D2L
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/permissions

[slate swan]

Pls stop with the old tutorials

[slate swan]

The first sentence proves you're wrong 🤡

[cedar stream]

Read everything

[slate swan]

The first sentence is enough.

[velvet tinsel]

I'm back

[slate swan]

No its not

[velvet tinsel]

what happened

[slate swan]

So u consider ur software the application, interacting with disnakes api?

[cedar stream]

No, you use It’ s api to make a bot

[slate swan]

Im done ur dumb

Try repairing python with its setup

[cedar stream]

😭

[slate swan]

Guys please stop

This is getting out of hand

[sick talon]

how to get the guild_id inside a task ?

[cedar stream]

Ping someone who is senior software engineer pls

Let them tell

[slate swan]

APl (Discord's API) is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other (Discord and disnake).

disnake is not an API. It's not rocket science my guy...

^^^

Its a wrapper for the API u use it to simplify interacting with discord API

[slate swan]

Yes i agree for the first time

[cedar stream]

It’ s a library and library needs to have an api for u to interact with

[jade jolt]

is there a way to get the message using its id? i need to get it after the bot restarts, please help

[slate swan]

U are not an application

[slate swan]

Discord api

[sick talon]

[slate swan]

THERE WE GO

And discord is the API

[cedar stream]

Idc if library is api wrapper or some other shit, it has an api

Datetime library has an api

[slate swan]

Discord api

[twin moon]

sorry how

[slate swan]

You are not an application, if you consider ur code the application interacting with it maybe technically u have a point. But for the sake of simplicity nah, its not api

[cedar stream]

My dad told me that and he is a principal software engineer, I also used to think api is only web related and u make http requests to it and he told me I was wrong

[slate swan]

Look the second comment. It exactly shows you're wrong. Don't look at the first comment only...

Yeah im leaving

[velvet tinsel]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64841919/find-guild-id-in-on-ready-discord-py you mean this?

[cedar stream]

EXACTLY

[slate swan]

Your operating system has an API

[jade jolt]

?? can i get some help please

[cedar stream]

Ty

[slate swan]

But the key thing that makes something an API

Whatever, I give up. Stubborn people will stay stubborn.

[cedar stream]

Yes

[slate swan]

Is an application interacts with it

[velvet tinsel]

wtf is happening

[velvet tinsel]

does this work?

[cedar stream]

Or piece of software

[velvet tinsel]

Are we arguing over what an API is now?

[cedar stream]

Like api is just a contract

[slate swan]

Thats what i meant by application

A graphics driver API, as example, has nothing similar with disnake.

Im going to call mods if you guys keep with this bs

[cedar stream]

Yes, and ur bot is piece of software

[sick talon]

can't we just get the channel ID normally ?

[twilit dragon]

[jade jolt]

is there a way to get the message using its id? i need to get it after the bot restarts.

[slate swan]

Join disnake's server and you will get another confirmation that you're wrong.

[slate swan]

So when i asked u that question why did you say no before

[velvet tinsel]

"API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. Each time you use an app like Facebook, send an instant message, or check the weather on your phone, you're using an API."

[sullen shoal]

why whenever blocked messages appear theres an argument going on

i wonder who that person is

[slate swan]

Noobian isnt the person lmao

[velvet tinsel]

I dont like to get pinged but ok

[slate swan]

Now staying stubborn is your problem not mine anymore

[cedar stream]

When

[velvet tinsel]

always noobian

Same im not dealing with this nonsense

[cedar stream]

I said bot is not software?

[velvet tinsel]

Idk, who is it

[slate swan]

Bruh u cant argue disnake is an api and then bot is not software lmao

[cedar stream]

Disnake is not an api, It’ s a library

[slate swan]

Im done wiv u

[cedar stream]

Do we agree?

[jade jolt]

will this work in a task loop?

[cedar stream]

Is disnake a library?

[slate swan]

Like i said im done wiv u

[cedar stream]

@slate swan do we agree on this

[cedar stream]

I wanna come to the bottom of it

[final iron]

Yes.

[velvet tinsel]

It is an API

[velvet tinsel]

@slate swan you’re correct

Wait I forgor

It’ s an api wrapper

I’m gonna send random links and hope people shut up

while teaching the difference between an API, a wrapper and an application is rather important, there are ways to do it and ways to not do it

[rain apex]

This is exactly what we don't want to hear

Let's keep this chat friendly, please

!unsilence

[unkempt canyon]

✅ unsilenced current channel.

[jade jolt]

hey

[tardy glacier]

lolwtf

[jade jolt]

still needing help with my question

[slate swan]

Just let us speak we wanna do it or way

[velvet tinsel]

This chat has been silenced 3 times

Over the past three days

[cedar stream]

Lets be calm

[velvet tinsel]

Calm

[slate swan]

Im done with this server, we having conversation and jannies get involved and adds nothing of value

[velvet tinsel]

Ok bye

[rain apex]

well, you should wonder why then

[cedar stream]

Cya

[velvet tinsel]

I have been wondering why

[cedar stream]

Okay so can u clear it for us, does disnake have an api

[sick talon]

How to get guild id inside a discord task ?

[velvet tinsel]

I honestly don’t know sarcasm intended

[slate swan]

I bet ur the typical fat discord mod from the memes

[rain apex]

disnake has an api, yes

any library has an api

[cedar stream]

Thank you

[rain apex]

no I'm not

[cedar stream]

@slate swan

[velvet tinsel]

Why did you DM me

[rain apex]

gosh

!silence

[unkempt canyon]

✅ silenced current channel for 10 minute(s).

[rain apex]

!ban 788098387354452060 You are right, you should indeed leave the server. Your conduct has been flagged many many times as being one of the main reason this channel is toxic, and when asked to drop a heated argument you menace to leave the server and just start pseudo-insulting everyone? I don't think you are a good fit for this server, and its mentality

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied ban to @normal viper permanently.

[rain apex]

!mute 562359123086409729 4d Is it too hard to drop an argument, especially just after a mod tells you to? Perhaps the original statement was different, but it isn't a reason to react so aggressively. If an argument gets heated, just take a small break from Discord. There is no need to reply with bold messages just to say that there is a difference between being and having an API. Explaining slowly and calmy is the key of teaching. Please re-read our #code-of-conduct.

[unkempt canyon]

:ok_hand: applied mute to @slate swan until <t:1638282085:f> (3 days and 23 hours).

is this 4th time this channel was silenced in 24h?

[tardy glacier]

yes

[brave vessel]

.topic

[lament depot]

**Do you think there's a way in which Discord could handle bots better?**

Suggest more topics here!

[velvet tinsel]

Damn

[restive jolt]

fine grained slash commands permissions

[boreal ravine]

adding more stuff I guess

[brave vessel]

ah, so only those with the permissions to use that slash commands can see it? or just better perms in general

[restive jolt]

both.

[tawdry perch]

any ideas to discord bot commands, I'm again running out of them, mainly moderation

[velvet tinsel]

Economy bot?

[boreal ravine]

connect four command

[velvet tinsel]

That’s what I’m working on 🤷‍♂️

[boreal ravine]

too many imo 😂

[velvet tinsel]

616 lines of code I’m not even finished

[minor totem]

Like the ones that's coming soon™ that I am very excited about 👀

[restive jolt]

is there? that would be neat.

[velvet tinsel]

I’m very stupid at anime so I had to join a anime discord server to ask for characters to add to my discord bot

[boreal ravine]

I heard MEE6 already got them 👀

[velvet tinsel]

What do you want

[tawdry perch]

well.. I don't find them useful at all, especially not for my bot. That feature is semi nice but takes a lot of work, like a lot

[boreal ravine]

^^

[velvet tinsel]

Ok, tic tac toe?

[slate swan]

builde discord music bot

[velvet tinsel]

Google.com

[tawdry perch]

my original idea was to find some moderation commands

[slate swan]

:l

[boreal ravine]

I mean it's just economy, economy is not fun at all except if there's something fun in it but economy bots overall are bad imo

[minor totem]

https://msciotti.notion.site/msciotti/Command-Permissions-V2-4d113cb49090409f998f3bd80a06c3bd

[velvet tinsel]

Dank is ok ig

[velvet tinsel]

Can you test my bot out after I finish it to see if it’s ok and add suggestions?

[boreal ravine]

Well, dank memer is something else

[sullen shoal]

how about the silence command you saw here

[boreal ravine]

sure I guess

[restive jolt]

yooo niceeeee!

[sullen shoal]

simple and useful sometimes

[minor totem]

Not really right? Are you sure you didn't just see it from the link I sent above?

[tawdry perch]

I alrd have it

[velvet tinsel]

Should be a bot for this channel

Add users to a list and ping a mod whenever one of them comes in

[tawdry perch]

what?

[cedar stream]

The problematic users

[marble cradle]

That somewhat kinda exists already, the codebase for @unkempt canyon is huge. https://git.pydis.com/bot

[boreal ravine]

I guess lol

[boreal ravine]

you didn't enter a token

bot.run()
``` ^^ you did something like this

[bitter depot]

They did enter a token, it was just None

@slate swan you probably did bot.run(os.getenv('token')) but the env value wasn't found. Make sure you do load_dotenv() before the os.getenv()

[boreal ravine]

O

[bitter depot]

>>> def bot(token):
    pass

>>> bot()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
    bot()
TypeError: bot() missing 1 required positional argument: 'token'```this would be the error for not passing it

[tawdry perch]

I made a some sort of filter for invite links but it sometimes deletes attachments as well ```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message):
invite_is_https = re.findall('http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-@.&+]|[!*(),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+', message.content.lower())
invite_is_discord_gg = re.findall('discord.gg/(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-@.&+]|[!*(),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+', message.content.lower())
if message.author.bot:
return
if invite_is_https or invite_is_discord_gg:
log.warning(f"Invite sent in {message.channel} by {message.author}")
await message.delete()
await message.channel.send("Please don't send random invites")

[boreal ravine]

my bad then

[boreal ravine]

cause attachments have a url too?

[bitter depot]

sometimes deletes attachments as well
Because attachments sometimes use discord.gg

[tawdry perch]

oh ...

[boreal ravine]

every image uploaded

is uploaded onto cdn i think whatever discord's database is

[tawdry perch]

damn

[bitter depot]

cdn.discordapp.com is where it usually goes

[boreal ravine]

^^

[bitter depot]

Wait yeah, it's just because of invite_is_https I think

[tawdry perch]

INVITE_RE = re.compile(
    r"(discord([\.,]|dot)gg|"                     # Could be discord.gg/
    r"discord([\.,]|dot)com(\/|slash)invite|"     # or discord.com/invite/
    r"discordapp([\.,]|dot)com(\/|slash)invite|"  # or discordapp.com/invite/
``` seems like @unkempt canyon has this

[boreal ravine]

How do you do regex by the way? did you do it manually or is there some kind of converter for it

[tawdry perch]

not really made by myself, I could not memorize everything

[boreal ravine]

o

[tawdry perch]

there was some sort of converter online that worked

[boreal ravine]

what is it

[tawdry perch]

not sure, it's somewhere in my code or in my search history

[sick talon]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

[boreal ravine]

give me it 😩

[tawdry perch]

how am I supposed to find it if I don't remember the name

I might know 1 but it's not the one i used

nope can't find it

[boreal ravine]

bruh

[slate swan]

my bot cant play music

[tawdry perch]

I don't have a problem with copy pasters as long as they don't try to act smart or something

[sullen shoal]

usually used to say "i dont give a fuck"

[boreal ravine]

voice is None, you're probably not in a VC

[boreal ravine]

Moderators are gonna ban you for toxicity lmfao

[sullen shoal]

im not the one who said that, they asked what it meant so i answered

[cedar stream]

Can u send ss of code

[twilit dragon]

how to compile file

code*

[sullen shoal]

using a compiler of it

[sick talon]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ajojusokiv.py
the mo!setup work in only one server but not in the other one

[twilit dragon]

dude in this server

[sullen shoal]

a discord guild cant compile code

[twilit dragon]

!run n = 0

for n in range(100):
n += 1
print("numbers", (n))

[sick talon]

it is really long

[cedar stream]

Do u get error

[sick talon]

no

[cedar stream]

Can u paste the whole code

[sick talon]

ok

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

[cedar stream]

Ok so first of all, creating a connection to database is an expensive operation, you shouldnt be doing it every time you want to interact with db, rather use connection pooling

Does it work if you just do setup?

[sick talon]

it working in only one server where i test my bot

[cedar stream]

Also try putting bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=“mo”)

[cedar stream]

Is the bot in both servers and does it have permissions to send messages and view channels?

[sick talon]

ok i am dumb af, so i have a test bot where i test the new features and all the things and apparently both the bots have same pfp and username so i got confused
i am sorry @cedar stream

[cedar stream]

Lmao dw

[twilit dragon]

btw how to define client in discord.py python file

[maiden fable]

client = discord.Client()?

[twilit dragon]

ok thx

[cedar stream]

U will install it in an isolated environment

[dusk dust]

how can i remove user's reaction after he clicks?

[gloomy coral]

guys i fucking hate my life

^

the bot isnt running 2 instances but idk abt the cog.....

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.remove_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.remove\_reaction

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

Remove a reaction by the member from the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

If the reaction is not your own (i.e. `member` parameter is not you) then the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission is needed.

The `member` parameter must represent a member and meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

[gloomy coral]

help me pls

[sullen shoal]

what is the delay between both messages

[twin moon]

how do I search a json files list inside of an object

[sullen shoal]

what

[maiden fable]

Do u have an on_message?

[twin moon]

how do I see a list in a user object?

[sullen shoal]

what list

[twin moon]

without going through all of them

[sullen shoal]

show me the list show me the object

[twin moon]

"POR_G1": {
    "username": "POR_G1",
    "password": "OTTERS",
    "creator": "770210759359070209",
    "level": {
      "experience": 0,
      "level": 0
    },
    "economy": {
      "money": 0,
      "bank": 0,
      "inventory": {}
    },
    "login": [          HERE
      770210759359070209
    ]
  }```

[sullen shoal]

what do you need from here

[twin moon]

see it

if there are lots of these

how do I see that list

[sullen shoal]

the login list?

[slate swan]

why is the value of creator a string

[sullen shoal]

!e

d = dict(foo=None, login=[1,2,3,4])
print(type(d.get("login")))```

[twin moon]

ohh

[unkempt canyon]

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

<class 'list'>

[sullen shoal]

it will return the object that is set as the value of the key

[gloomy coral]

not in tht cog.... i do as an event

[slate swan]

line 74, in check_if_member_blacklisted
    if any([role for role in member.roles if await DBmanager.check_is_blacklisted(role)]):
AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'roles'```
any idea why i get this error , i already typehinted the member variable as disnake.Member ```py
async def check_if_member_blacklisted(message , member : Member):```

[gloomy coral]

ooh lemme see

[maiden fable]

Yea, and what decorator u using in it? @bot.listen() or @bot.event

[twin moon]

so what is foo

[sullen shoal]

a key value pair

[gloomy coral]

listen

just check the src code

[sullen shoal]

so 2 minutes

[gloomy coral]

@sullen shoal here u go

[twin moon]

so what do you mean? in english

[gloomy coral]

no its 2 seconds right?

[maiden fable]

seconds*

[sullen shoal]

oh

[tawdry perch]

What's snowflake?

[sullen shoal]

the loop is 60 seconds tho

[gloomy coral]

yeah

[sullen shoal]

{key:value}```

[maiden fable]

Just a simple int, if u don't wanna go deep

[tawdry perch]

So nothing useful or.?

[maiden fable]

It can be a string also iirc

[tawdry perch]

Where's it used at

[sullen shoal]

see i still have 90% doubt that you are running two instances of the bot

[twin moon]

in the language made in england

[gloomy coral]

how can i chec?

[twin moon]

and commonly

[sullen shoal]

that would be " a key value pair.`

[maiden fable]

If I remember correct @gloomy coral

[sullen shoal]

you may ask anyone present here to verify that, what i said is English

[maiden fable]

;-; VSCode doesn't open up console even when I press F5

[gloomy coral]

i got it so i deleted

[maiden fable]

kk

[sullen shoal]

are running it locally or some server

[gloomy coral]

how check i, how fix i

[twin moon]

def it

[tawdry perch]

So it generally generates unique int?

[gloomy coral]

vps, vultr

[maiden fable]

yea

[tawdry perch]

It could be used to create identification?

[sullen shoal]

stop it then download the files and run it locally to test

[maiden fable]

Mhm

[gloomy coral]

https://github.com/TechnoFrost27/chad-the-discord-bot/blob/main/cogs/tasks.py

[gloomy coral]

aww man.... thts gonna take a lot of time cuz every 12 hours

[tawdry perch]

Have you used it at anything?

[sullen shoal]

what happens every 12 hours

[maiden fable]

Well every ID (channel and user and server) is a snowflake

[gloomy coral]

well see the code

[tawdry perch]

Hmm

[gloomy coral]

@tawdry perch

[tawdry perch]

?

[twin moon]

def key:value():``` finish this def

[tawdry perch]

Ohh I see

[gloomy coral]

enable dev mode

[tawdry perch]

I have it enabled

[sullen shoal]

what is that, what i sent was json

[gloomy coral]

then copy it of this msg

[gloomy coral]

help me man

[velvet tinsel]

Wow

[tawdry perch]

Ye I now understood what that is, thx!

[sullen shoal]

just remove the if statement will then work every 60 seconds

[gloomy coral]

well i dont want tht

[sullen shoal]

for testing

[twin moon]

How does the thing work

[gloomy coral]

i just want it to send msg every 12 hours at a time

[twin moon]

d = dict(foo=None, login=[1,2,3,4])
print(type(d.get("login")))```

[gloomy coral]

well u see, the first time i run it , it sent once...... then 2 times 😦

[twin moon]

what does foo mean?

[gloomy coral]

what i dont get is how is this discord bots?

but ok.....

[twin moon]

I put it in a disc bot

[sullen shoal]

that is same as,

{
"foo":None,
"login":[1,2,3,4]
}```

the d variable

[sullen shoal]

idk then i would have deleted the entire file and make it again, thats what i prefer if i cant debug something after trying for 5 hours

[velvet tinsel]

I nearly died

That was so close

[sullen shoal]

nice

@gloomy coral if nextcord uses 2.0, you could just use the tasks.Loop.time param

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop.time

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop.time

property time: Optional[List[datetime.time]]```
Read-only list for the exact times this loop runs at. `None` if relative times were passed instead.

New in version 2.0.

[velvet tinsel]

Wdym nice it was traumatising

Oh yes I need to read the !d code for @unkempt canyon

[tawdry perch]

good idea

!src d

[unkempt canyon]

[minor panther]

Guys how to make load_extention is cogs

after bot.run

[somber tree]

Guys i need help making commands for my discord bot

because I want to make a bot linked to my geometry dash private server

[velvet tinsel]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52464966/discord-py-rewrite-cogs-load-extensions-from-other-archive @minor panther

I think

[velvet tinsel]

Elaborate

[minor panther]

no, i asked how to bot.run()

and after load this

[velvet tinsel]

Bot.run? You want to run the bot?

[minor panther]

!

[boreal ravine]

what type of commands

[velvet tinsel]

So you want to load extensions after bot.run…

[minor panther]

yes

[somber tree]

I want to make commands to show the stats for my gdps

[minor panther]

i have some problems with cache

[velvet tinsel]

@boreal ravine will it work to run code after bot.run?

[boreal ravine]

what kind of stats if you dont mind me asking?

[velvet tinsel]

Or whatever run()

[minor panther]

and i have to use cogs only after the cache will be filled

[velvet tinsel]

I dont know if it will work after bot.run

[boreal ravine]

ofc not, load them before running the bot

[minor panther]

no

run is freeze func

[patent surge]

How do I get invite link of a server ?

[velvet tinsel]

No run is looping everything with the lack of a better word

[velvet tinsel]

Settings then invites

[somber tree]

The levels in my gdps, the leaderboard and the players

[patent surge]

bruh from my bot

[velvet tinsel]

Oh

[patent surge]

when it joins a server

[flint cosmos]

Right click the name of the server and click invite people

[boreal ravine]

so you wanna display them right?

[patent surge]

through the bot

[somber tree]

Yes

[boreal ravine]

ah do you have a database?

[somber tree]

yes

[somber tree]

I did all of it before hand

[boreal ravine]

ah what db are u using?

[somber tree]

GMD Private server

database.sql

I think it's better to talk about the database is the database text channel

[boreal ravine]

hm yes, but i have no experience with sql lmfao

[flint cosmos]

To get the bot invite, go to your Discord developer portal,
Go to OAuth2 tab,
Copy the Client ID,
Go here https://discordapi.com/permissions.html#0
Paste the Client ID into the box towards the bottom of your screen that is labeled "Insert Client ID here"
Check off all of the permissions you want the bot to have on the server
Copy the link at the very bottom

[tawdry perch]

is this something that exists in dpy? ```py
self.bot.http_session

read dpy source code

[tawdry perch]

well exactly this is not in there

[opal skiff]

how do i send an embed?

[boreal ravine]

create a variable and set the value as the discord.Embed class

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

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

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

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

New in version 2.0.

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

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

[opal skiff]

ok and now

[boreal ravine]

Send the embed..?

[opal skiff]

but how do i send the embed?

[gloomy coral]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/kaseyagiyi.properties

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.TextChannel.send <=

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.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**.

[opal skiff]

ok

[gloomy coral]

code... shows error ```py
ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.tasks' raised an error: SyntaxError: expression cannot contain assignment, perhaps you meant "=="? (tasks.py, line 16)

docs https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop

[boreal ravine]

Wheres line 16?

[opal skiff]

now when i send the embed it only sends <discord.embeds.Embed object at 0x00000145D0D93E20> proberbly because its empty. How do i specify the attributes?

[boreal ravine]

send it like embed = embed 2nd "embed" being ur embed variable

[flint cosmos]

Can somebody help me? I am trying to create a variable that represents a role but it seems im getting errors
My error/python file: https://paste.ee/p/x1xQ6

[somber tree]

What is the coding for making commands?

[opal skiff]

client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{client.user} has connected to Discord!')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return
    if message.content == "T!help":
        await message.channel.send(embed = Embed)
        
client.run(TOKEN)``` There is something wrong

[flint cosmos]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!") # you can customize your prefix here

@client.command()
async def commandName(ctx): # whatever this function is named is the name of your command
  await ctx.channel.send("Test command") # everything inside of the function gets ran when you execute the command on your discord server

[velvet tinsel]

Don’t spoon feed

[sullen shoal]

idk i cant help with your problem, idk shit about loops

[velvet tinsel]

Where

[velvet tinsel]

Why is your embed empty

Lmao 😂

[opal skiff]

ik

i fixed it now

[velvet tinsel]

And why did you call it Embed call it anything BUT Embed

It’s bad kinda 😐

[slate swan]

is on_disconnect triggered even if we manually stop the bot's script file?

[sullen shoal]

wdym by manuallly stopping

[twin moon]

how does this work?

[velvet tinsel]

Idk need to read

[opal skiff]

how do i get the channel name?

of a message

[velvet tinsel]

I forgot how to link to the piece of code

[sullen shoal]

be specific what did you not understand

[velvet tinsel]

He wants the code

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Message.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.channel

The TextChannel or Thread that the message was sent from. Could be a DMChannel or GroupChannel if it’s a private message.

[velvet tinsel]

.

[opal skiff]

ok

[twin moon]

all

[velvet tinsel]

I think I bm it somewhere

@twin moon

[sullen shoal]

!e

d = {"foo":None, "login":[1,2,3,4]}
print(d["login"])```

[twin moon]

I dont even know how to run it

[velvet tinsel]

I’m on a phone

[unkempt canyon]

@velvet tinsel :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Hello world!

[zenith basin]

#help-kiwi

[velvet tinsel]

What errors

[flint cosmos]

On the link I sent

[velvet tinsel]

Default role seems to be None

[flint cosmos]

What im asking exactly is how to use the getrole() properly because im obviously using it wrong

[velvet tinsel]

No that’s not the problem

Something seems to be None in your code

[late wigeon]

does anyone know how to get discord slash commands working with cogs? I've imported using
from discord_slash import cog_ext
then I added it to my help command and I've invited the bot with the commands permission but it won't run my command when I call it

[velvet tinsel]

Idk

[slate swan]

@flint cosmos The guild is None

[velvet tinsel]

😭

[velvet tinsel]

Ok thanks for clearing that up

[somber tree]

how do i change the style of the text for my bot?

[sullen shoal]

what is the value of line 16

[flint cosmos]

What do I have to make the guild var then?

[somber tree]

I have no idea how to do any of this stuff

[flint cosmos]

{
    "roleIDs": {
        "defaultRoleID": 912534307443183646
    },
    "channelIDs": {
        "systemMessagesChannelID": 913090699254190110
    },
    "serverID": 911418973118165042
}

[slate swan]

Probably the guild isn't in the cache, or check the id or valid type which should be passed into get_guild method

What version u r using?

[flint cosmos]

Of discord.py ?

[slate swan]

yes

[minor panther]

hello

[flint cosmos]

Im not sure, I just did python -m pip install discord.py

[minor panther]

guys can you tell me, how to load all cogs only after the cache will be filled

[slate swan]

It should be 1.7.x iirc

[twin moon]

How do I find a list in a json object without manually searching for every file

[late wigeon]

pretty sure you need to grab the server using
guild = client.get_guild(serverID)
after the bot initializes in the event "on_ready"

[flint cosmos]

That is exactly what I have

[slate swan]

Try converting your guild_id into integer

[late wigeon]

@client.event

[sullen shoal]

get the guild on the event you're going to use it, the cache might not be ready when line 17 is executed

[vale wing]

Client is not recommended to use

[sullen shoal]

or the id is invalid

[late wigeon]

@flint cosmos

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  guild = client.get_guild(serverID)

[cobalt jacinth]

how can i arrange my commands in catergories. on google stuff is old and confusing

[slate swan]

Oh yes, your bot isn't started completely when you're fetching the guild

[flint cosmos]

Yeah but I dont wanna redefine the variable everytime I check for the defaultRole, I just want to do it once

[vale wing]

You mean cogs?

[flint cosmos]

Oh ok

[somber tree]

How do i change the style of the text for the bot?

[slate swan]

https://vcokltfre.dev/tutorial/05-cogs/

[cloud dawn]

You mean cogs?

[vale wing]

Wdym

[sullen shoal]

then save the instance in the Bot instance

as an attribute

use tasks to do the stuff

[late wigeon]

does anyone know why I get this?

[flint cosmos]

I am confused

[twin moon]

how does your function work?

[boreal ravine]

try the slash command again

[sullen shoal]

?

[somber tree]

Like when i type in s!help It shows all of the commands in a different text style instead of

This

[twin moon]

json files d = dict(foo=None, login=[1,2,3,4])

[vale wing]

Is discord really going to force us to implement slash command

[vale wing]

You need to replace help command

[somber tree]

ok

[late wigeon]

but I'm setting up like this

[sullen shoal]

when you get the Role instance, set it as an attribute of your Bot instance

[vale wing]

@somber tree
#discord-bots message

[boreal ravine]

show helpme command

[flint cosmos]

How do I do that?

[sullen shoal]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[sullen shoal]

tbh im confused with what you exactly meant by redefining Role or whatever

[late wigeon]

I changed it to helpme shortly to see if it was even getting the name right, but it seems to update extremely slow

it's the same function I showed before

[sullen shoal]

i gave you the new code, check that is that confusing you

[gloomy coral]

sad

[boreal ravine]

hm.. you sure the module your using takes ctx as a parameter

[twin moon]

where?

[sullen shoal]

here

[late wigeon]

yes

[flint cosmos]

Lets say I use the defaultRole in on_member_join but I also wanna use it in on_member_remove, if I define the variable inside of those functions, then I am redefining it each time ??

[twin moon]

WOW

[velvet tinsel]

Show help info

[twin moon]

NOW I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING

[boreal ravine]

hmm what module r u using

[late wigeon]

https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[velvet tinsel]

Will this help solve the problem Kayle?

[boreal ravine]

isn't whats causing the error, but it's probably a list

[sullen shoal]

use tasks then. one sec i gotta link you a page you may check that for the solution to this

[late wigeon]

it's just a string

[velvet tinsel]

Obviously a list

It has an index 🤷‍♂️

[late wigeon]

it's a list with strings

[velvet tinsel]

Yes

Apparently that’s not what the problem is, I’m gonna go

[late wigeon]

the command works fine without the slash stuff

[minor panther]

guys, do you know how to once get roles, and save them somehow and after use them from different cogs

[cobalt jacinth]

can i hide commands(some) from appearing in help command

[velvet tinsel]

Bye kayle 😂

[boreal ravine]

obviously.. but that isn't the issue

[velvet tinsel]

Oh it would return an indexerror

[late wigeon]

remove the help command after creating your bot then make a custom one

[velvet tinsel]

If the list wasn’t there

[minor panther]

?1

[final iron]

No.

[sullen shoal]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html
check "Waiting until the bot is ready before the loop starts:".
get and set them as attribute of the bot instance there

[boreal ravine]

typehint it

[final iron]

Hard coding a help command is a bad idea

[boreal ravine]

it requires a certain context, not commands.Context

[velvet tinsel]

.bm

[boreal ravine]

Don't big bots do that though?

[cobalt jacinth]

i dont want my dev commands to show

[flint cosmos]

This seems very confusing, what is a "cog"

[boreal ravine]

command group

[sullen shoal]

a very nice way to organize your commands

[late wigeon]

I'll try it

[final iron]

Don't most big bots just have a website?

[boreal ravine]

True

[flint cosmos]

Im still confused on what a cog is

[boreal ravine]

A command group

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog <= read this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog

class discord.ext.commands.Cog(*args, **kwargs)```
The base class that all cogs must inherit from.

A cog is a collection of commands, listeners, and optional state to help group commands together. More information on them can be found on the [Cogs](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs) page.

When inheriting from this class, the options shown in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta "discord.ext.commands.CogMeta") are equally valid here.

[cobalt jacinth]

how does website help ?

[final iron]

@bot.command(hidden=True) will hide it iirc

[sullen shoal]

wait a sec, theres a page to explain it

[cobalt jacinth]

thanks

[twin moon]

@sullen shoal No seriuosly what is foo

[sullen shoal]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs

[sullen shoal]

a key i defined in the dictionary object. it has the value None

[twin moon]

what if I assign it to something

[cloud dawn]

cog is more of an category a group is something different.

[sullen shoal]

!d

d = {"foo_or_whatever_you_can_imagine": None}
print(d["foo_or_whatever_you_can_imagine"])```

[boreal ravine]

literally what it means

[sullen shoal]

!e

d = {"foo_or_whatever_you_can_imagine": "can be any object"}
print(d["foo_or_whatever_you_can_imagine"])```

[somber tree]

I'm so confused right now

[unkempt canyon]

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

can be any object

[cloud dawn]

Me too

[boreal ravine]

How

[slate swan]

🤔

[somber tree]

class MyHelpCommand(commands.HelpCommand):
    async def command_callback(self, ctx, *,command=None):
        if command:
           await ctx.send(f"This the help page for the command {command} ")
        else:
            await ctx.send("This is the front pagea for the bots help command")
bot.help_command=MyHelpCommand()```
I don't get this code

[cloud dawn]

Well did you copy it?

[sullen shoal]

read the documentation

[somber tree]

Yes but now I don't know what I'm doing

[sick birch]

Don’t copy code

[somber tree]

ok

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

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

Note

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

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

[sick birch]

You don’t learn like you might writing it yourself

[sullen shoal]

be sure to have to basic knowledge of OOP and python classes

[cloud dawn]

https://gist.github.com/InterStella0/b78488fb28cadf279dfd3164b9f0cf96

[sick birch]

Yep HelpCommand has a lot of OOP going on

[cloud dawn]

Stella's git helps covering it.

[minor panther]

do you know how to once get roles, like on_ready, and save them somewhere to use from different cogs
