[brittle ingot]

put a back slash in front of the emoji

[slate swan]

but where do i put in the code

[brittle ingot]

\

[brittle ingot]

at the bottom of the function

[cedar stream]

Where u wanna send an embed

[prisma folio]

Do I, then, just copy and paste it, into the code and/or message and/or string thingy?

[brittle ingot]

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

[slate swan]

thx

[brittle ingot]

you copy the message returned on discord here into the string you are trying to send as the message.

[prisma folio]

@brittle ingot ?

[prisma folio]

Okay.

So, like this?

= !python

[brittle ingot]

yes

[slate swan]

but the command dosent wokr when i try to used i

[brittle ingot]

do you have an on_message event

well firstly are there any errors?

[rare saddle]

@cedar stream

[slate swan]

yes sure

what intents are required to allow a bot to send users a dm

[prisma folio]

So, like this:

if message.content.startswith("/see python emoji"):
| await message.channel.send("![python](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/286529073445076992.webp?size=128 "python")")```
?

.

[brittle ingot]

try it. looks good to me

[prisma folio]

Awesome. Thanks! :).

[slate swan]

what intents are required to allow a bot to send users a dm

[brittle ingot]

the user needs to be in the same server as the bot.

thats it

[dire folio]

whats is asyncio

[slate swan]

can a bot operate without intents

or

[slate swan]

yeah

[manic wing]

!pypi asyncio

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio v3.4.3

reference implementation of PEP 3156

[pliant gulch]

Don't use this package, this is for versions of python that don't have asyncio as a builtin

[slate swan]

em so @brittle ingot i send an screenshot with error

[dire folio]

which versions are those?

[manic wing]

just import asyncio

[brittle ingot]

Yes, effectively though… that is debatable

[rare saddle]

Why such a mistake?

[pliant gulch]

Version's that can't use discord.py so not really relevant

[cedar stream]

Cus u put it in for loop, so it will try to get channel with that id for every guild, and only one guild has a channel w that id

[slate swan]

em so...?

[rare saddle]

How else can this be done?

[cedar stream]

You can get the specific guild

[manic wing]

it tells you the error…

[cedar stream]

bot.get_guild

[brittle ingot]

Looks like bot has no attribute version

[cedar stream]

Then get channel from that guild

[manic wing]

bot.version isnt a thing

[rare saddle]

What if I use multiple guilds?

[slate swan]

so how could i make it

[brittle ingot]

You can remedy this by creating a bot var named version with your bots current version.

[slate swan]

if i dont have access to the account that owns the bot (say the account was disabled), but my bots verified, how can i get its name changed

or can i not..

[slate swan]

oh

[brittle ingot]

I don’t think you can. As that happened to a bot dev with a huge bot “Eli” and they had to discontinue the bot

[brittle ingot]

In the bots main file right under the bot constructor put:

bot.version =“0.0.1”

Or whatever your version number is. Iirc

[pliant gulch]

Verified bot's cant even change their username

[manic wing]

!d discord.Client.edit

ig not

[pliant gulch]

iirc, my friend who has a verified bot says discord doesn't allow them to change the bot's username after it gets verified

[vale glen]

really?

[brittle ingot]

Make sense, it’s like a branding thing

[slate swan]

but how to i made in the code to not make more errors or something

[pliant gulch]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360071894631-Allow-verified-bots-to-change-their-name#:~:text=Currently%2C verified bots cannot change their username.

[silk mauve]

colour=discord.Colour.()
How can I put there a colour code in?

[pliant gulch]

Yea you can't change the name after verifying

[vale glen]

Oof

[manic wing]

!d discord.Colour || you would do color=discord.Color.red()

[silk mauve]

But Id

[manic wing]

!d discord.Colour || you would do color=discord.Coulor.red()

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour

class discord.Colour(value)```
Represents a Discord role colour. This class is similar to a (red, green, blue) [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)").

There is an alias for this called Color...

[vale glen]

or you could just do color=0xffffff

[manic wing]

fucking americans

[silk mauve]

ty

lol

[manic wing]

thats a joke

[vale glen]

lol, u aussie or something

[manic wing]

pls no ban

[rare saddle]

How do I get the server IDs in the on_ready function?

[brittle ingot]

Your doing the guild portion correctly. The issue is the channel ID. They are unique. Even if two servers have the same channel named “general” their IDs will be different. You need to change the portion where you are fetching the channel using the same ID every guild.

[slate swan]

cuz i dont wanna make something worse

[brittle ingot]

Errors will happen. It’s a normal part of programming. That’s why we are here 🙂

[slate swan]

so what should i change in code

[vale glen]

whats the best fork of discord.py?

currently im using nextcord

[dire folio]

im getting the squiggly lines under all the ctx

[manic wing]

because you said you were using an event, not ctx lol

i just used ctx for the sake of the example

you can replace it with an instance of discord.Message if you want

[dire folio]

oh i have no clue what im doing tbh

[vale glen]

what do you want to do?

[manic wing]

!resources || may I guide you to the resources, where you can learn python at a more beginner level? discord.py is a bit intermediate

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

https://pythondiscord.com/resources

[brittle ingot]

Right under:
bot = commands.Bot in your bots main file try adding
bot.version = “0.0.1”

That will create a bot variable if I remember correctly. You should be able to access it throughout your code using: bot.version

[manic wing]

#discord-bots message || i showed him exactly what to do, its a competence issue

[vale glen]

just waiting for a message?

[manic wing]

yes

[vale glen]

you explained it pretty well

[dire folio]

he did but i just don't know what im doing mb

[vale glen]

oh alr

[slate swan]

oki

[vale glen]

so you understand it

[slate swan]

i got invalid syntax

[dire folio]

kind of

[brittle ingot]

Just do guild_id = message.guild.id

[vale glen]

.content is just the message that is received

[vale glen]

line 13

[brittle ingot]

I didn’t mean to copy the entire thing 🤣

[slate swan]

oh

[brittle ingot]

Yeah just remove line 13. Also double check your imports looks like you are importing OS twice

[slate swan]

ok

[brittle ingot]

Also note for anyone imports can be done on one line.

Import discord, os, datetime, random, typing

[jagged root]

can a bot track messages of an embed

[manic wing]

I think you copied what Moros wrote, and he's on mobile, so their "'s are different

[jagged root]

@manic wing

can a bot track messages of an embed

[manic wing]

what do you mean by this?

[brittle ingot]

You mean embed content? Yes

[lament trail]

once you have the embed object, you can look at the embed.description if thats what you mean

[jagged root]

theres a bot that sends embeds of the chat of a game so track if in those embeds theres a specific word

[manic wing]

!d discord.Embed.to_dict

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.to\_dict

to_dict()```
Converts this embed object into a dict.

[jagged root]

and then do something

[vale glen]

why do you have bot.version?

[jagged root]

theres a bot that sends embeds of the chat of a game so track if in those embeds theres a specific word
@lament trail

[lament trail]

yea, assuming the words are in the 'description', (they can also be in the fields though) you can access the content using embed.description

[jagged root]

even if its another bot that i dont own?

[lament trail]

yes

[manic wing]

yes

[jagged root]

nicee

[lament trail]

its basically like reading messages but a couple extra steps

[jagged root]

can someone help me with that?

[manic wing]

!d discord.Message.embeds || you just need an instance of discord.Embed, which you can get from discord.Message.embeds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.embeds

A list of embeds the message has.

[manic wing]

normally, its just discord.Mesage.embeds[0]

if there is only one embed

[jagged root]

ty mate ill try

[slate swan]

oh

[jagged root]

its a bot that sends chat logs of a game

[slate swan]

is there a way to delete channels with a bot

[brittle ingot]

Just gotta figure out which part of the embed has the content you want to check for. Usually description.

[brittle ingot]

Yup

[slate swan]

how would i do that

[brittle ingot]

using the .delete() attribute on a discord.Channel object

[manic wing]

!d discord.TextChannel.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.delete

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

Deletes the channel.

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

[manic wing]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.delete

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

Deletes the channel.

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

[manic wing]

idk why i did this, im too tired to remember discord.Channel

[brittle ingot]

Lol

[manic wing]

oh its

I guess not

[brittle ingot]

I’m so sad my computer broke

[manic wing]

aw, what happened?

[brittle ingot]

Iirc abc is usually for instances or conversion really

[brittle ingot]

Shorted the charging port

[manic wing]

damn :/

[slate swan]

the command works

[manic wing]

👏

[brittle ingot]

The bot version is a bit weird… but awesome that it works!!

[slate swan]

yeah

[brittle ingot]

😭

[slate swan]

so this any way to make is it better looking

[brittle ingot]

What does the current code look like?

[slate swan]

wait

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

[brittle ingot]

Remove the brackets. Essentially make sure the the bot.version variable only contains a string of 0.0.1 so should look like:

bot.version = “0.0.1”

Don’t copy cause I’m on mobile

[slate swan]

ok

thx

[brittle ingot]

Much better!

Good work

[silk mauve]

@bot.command()

[slate swan]

so right now i need to add it in to my general bot not a testing bot

[silk mauve]

So, this is my code and I want that someones donesnt has the role that a message sends

who doesn't*

@discord.ext.commands.has_role("Server Booster")

        await ctx.send(embed=snipeEmbed)
    except:
        await ctx.send(f"Es gibt keine gelöschten Nachrichten in #{channel.name}")```

[slate swan]

brackets in if statements 🤮

[brittle ingot]

A little bit of JS flair in there 🤣

[silk mauve]

Ok?

[brittle ingot]

The easiest way I could say would be to check within the command function instead of using a command check.

[hollow agate]

bot = slash_util.Bot(...)``` I'm trying to use the https://gist.github.com/XuaTheGrate/5690a3d9dadb280d3d15f28f940e02d1#installation library, what would I put in place for the 3 dots? I've never used cogs so this is all new haha

[brittle ingot]

role = discord.Utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=“Server Booster”)

If not role in ctx.author.roles:

else:
Continue

don’t copy I’m on mobile

[summer flume]

do buttons exist?

[brittle ingot]

Externally yes, in discord.py itself not that I’m aware of. You could get a lib like discord-components, etc

[summer flume]

okay

[slate swan]

utils lowercase

but it's copiable

[pliant gulch]

discord.py v2.0 has them

[slate swan]

i have an question why i getting owner as none in serverinfo command?

[manic wing]

do you have member intents

[slate swan]

yes

i think i need to check

in the code no but in the developer bot portal i turnd them on

[manic wing]

you need intents.members // intents.all to get owners

[slate swan]

ok

[rare saddle]

The message does not want to be sent, what should I do?

[slate swan]

oh i didnt know that i need

this

how do you get the user of who created the bot?

...
error:

how can i introduce ctx as well as guild : discord.Guild to the event

without it seeing it as a required arg

[manic wing]

!d discord.on_guild_join || it only takes guild, not ctx.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_join

discord.on_guild_join(guild)```
Called when a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") is either created by the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") or when the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") joins a guild.

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

[slate swan]

so how would i get the bot to send a message to the top channel once it joins?

[manic wing]

intents.all()

[slate swan]

ok

[manic wing]

you figure out what the top channel is -> there no ctx because it wasnt invoked

[slate swan]

is there any way i can define ctx within the class?

intents.all() like this?

[slate swan]

intents = discord.Intents.all()

[manic wing]

no…because its not being invoked in a channel…

[slate swan]

but still it showing owner as a none

[manic wing]

then you didnt do the intents correclty

[brittle ingot]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

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

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[slate swan]

but i need to get owner as like @slate swan not as a none

400 Bad Request (error code: 50007): Cannot send messages to this user do we need intents to dm users?

[manic wing]

nah it just means they dont have open dms/you dont share a server with em

[slate swan]

its meant to continue though if the user cant be dmed

[manic wing]

intents = discord.Intents.all()

[manic wing]

you caught the wrong exception then

[hollow agate]

.

[slate swan]

ive tested this on a bot without verification and with all intents enabled (it worked perfectly fine) but now im testing it on a bot thats verified with to my knowledge no intents enabled, and it just wont continue if the suer cant be dmed

[slate swan]

still

[slate swan]

i did that

but is still the same

error

[manic wing]

so whats the problem?

[slate swan]

its in a loop, not sure why it doesnt continue if it finds a user that cant be dmed

[slate swan]

ugh

[manic wing]

are you sure its not continuing?

[slate swan]

can i add ctx when subclassing help command? like async def send_bot_help(self, ctx, mapping):?

[slate swan]

yep, otherwise id get dmed

[manic wing]

no, you didnt. read what i wrote and look what you wrote

[slate swan]

i did

i can give u screen shot

spacing

[manic wing]

you need to remove the intents = Intents.default() above

[slate swan]

change intents = discord.Intents.default() to intents = discord.Intents.sll()

[manic wing]

and the intents.members

[slate swan]

its so simple and we have told u multiple times

-_-

[wild oak]

@slate swan are you able to help me at the moment

[slate swan]

so what should i do

[wild oak]

apparently not he's muted

[manic wing]

lol

[wild oak]

Bro im having so much trouble making the dumbest cog ever

i havent tested yet but i know it wont work

[manic wing]

you need to unindent def setup outside if the class

and the @commands.group needs to be indented inside

From R.Danny;

"[Text To Click](https://www.youtube.com/ \"Hovertext\")"

• Needs to be a full url (http/https)
• Hovertext is optional
• If sent by a bot/user it needs to be in an embed
• If sent in a webhook you can hyperlink raw text cuz fuck being consistent amirite discord
• This only works in the embed description and field value
  If you want to hyperlink a title or set_author, you can use the url kwarg

[wild oak]

im sorry gimme a sec

[vale glen]

ik

[brittle ingot]

Should be:

class myCog(commands.Cog):

[carmine pilot]

Can anyone tell me why my bot wont run the slash command on Visual Studio Code?

token = '1234567890'
bot = coammnds.Bot(
  intents=discord.Intents.all()
)

@bot.slash_command(
  name='ping', 
  description='Returns the bots latency.'
)
async def ping(ctx):
  embed = discord.Embed(
    color=color,
    title='**Ping**',
    description='\u200b'
  )
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

bot.run(token)```

[brittle ingot]

Try to avoid naming commands and cogs the same thing. I’m assuming there is a naming conflict?

[wild oak]

Uhhh

Shoooooooot

ok just renamed it gimme a seccond

[brittle ingot]

commands.Bot

Is spelled wrong

[carmine pilot]

.

[wild oak]

Nope

[final iron]

Add from discord.ext import commands

[wild oak]

Same thing

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import asyncio
from itertools import cycle
import os
import json
import random
import datetime
import requests
import aiosqlite
from typing import Text
import aiohttp
import platform
from discord.ext.commands import clean_content
intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.all= True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="+",intents=intents) what i did wrong?

[carmine pilot]

Add from start to end

[wild oak]

that keeps blinding me

[brittle ingot]

Remove intents.all = True

[carmine pilot]

So it's not messy.

[final iron]

Requests is blocking

Don't use it

[brittle ingot]

aiohttp

[wild oak]

still says the same thing :(

[carmine pilot]

How do I download it in the terminal?

[final iron]

You don't download anything

[slate swan]

but when i did it this still dosent work

[final iron]

Just copy and paste

[carmine pilot]

Okay.

[slate swan]

ok

[final iron]

Whats the error?

[slate swan]

i mean i need to test it

[wild oak]

im abt to just give up on this

[slate swan]

ooo it works but it didn't ping owner of the server

[wild oak]

i honestly have no clue how to fix this stupid thing

[flint cosmos]

Is there something I need to import for get_channel() , get_guild(), get_role(), etc ?

[wild oak]

literally

[slate swan]

indent the commands into the cog

[wild oak]

this close to giving up 🤏

what

i already tried to indent everything and then it had another problem idk what to do what part do u want me to indent

[final iron]

Whats with the indents

[slate swan]

indent the command decorator and the function

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if ('help' in message.content.lower() and 'staff' in message.content.lower()):
        await message.channel.send('Hello')

[wild oak]

like this

[slate swan]

Do I have to change message.send to something else?

[slate swan]

no

?

add 4 spaces
not remove 4 spaces

me?

[slate swan]

message.channel.send

[wild oak]

how would that magically fix it not being able to find the yoga ball command

and if it does istg im gonna flip out

[slate swan]

no not like that

[wild oak]

oh my dilly darn gosh

i cant swear in this server lmao

[final iron]

Do you mean indent it inside the class?

[slate swan]

yes

[final iron]

There you go

[wild oak]

let me get this straight

you want me to indent this py class Ball(commands.Cog, name="Balls"): def __init__(self, bot): self.bot = bot

[final iron]

No

Indent the commands inside the class scope

[slate swan]

^^^

[final iron]

Also fix your indents inside of the commands

[wild oak]

im slow ur gonna have to gimme a break

[slate swan]

indent this part ```py
@commands.group(name = "yogaball")
async def yogaball(ctx):

[wild oak]

ok

[slate swan]

and the other one

[slate swan]

yeah

now do the other one

[slate swan]

yeah

wait

remove the context arg from the first one

[wild oak]

and put ctx

[slate swan]

you alr have ctx

[wild oak]

ok but now its gonna freak out

[slate swan]

why

[wild oak]

cuz it says

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if ('help' in message.content.lower() and 'staff' in message.content.lower()):
        await message.channel.send('Hello')

[slate swan]

replace the context with ctx

Does anyone know why. this event makes my bot stop responding to other commands?

process the commands

My bot literally stops working if i put this in

await client.process_commands(message)

at the end of your event

oh ok

[wild oak]

i was gonna say that

[final iron]

Don't create a bot like that

Use actual command decorators

[wild oak]

untill my pc decided to just stop functioning lmao

[slate swan]

im trying to learn brother, not making a bot yet

[final iron]

This is the wrong way to learn

[slate swan]

wdym?

[wild oak]

isnt it outdated

@slate swan

[slate swan]

wat outdated

[wild oak]

context

or am i being slow

[slate swan]

the pass_context is outdated

[carmine pilot]

This code doesn't work on Python (vsc).

from discord.ext import commands

token = 'my_bot_token'
bot = commands.Bot(
  intents=discord.Intents.all()
)

@bot.slash_command(
  name='ping', 
  description='Returns the bots latency.'
)
async def ping(ctx):
  embed = discord.Embed(
    color=color,
    title='**Ping**',
    description='\u200b'
  )
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

bot.run(token)

[wild oak]

ok

[slate swan]

Whats actual command decorators?

[slate swan]

@client.command()

[slate swan]

What if the member doesnt do the prefix ?

And its an event?

[final iron]

You need to give a prefix in the bot constructor arguments

[final iron]

Then nothing happens. There is an invoke_without_prefix kwarg if I remember correctly

[slate swan]

oh wow, i didn't know that. Let me search that up

[wild oak]

thats great

now my help command doesnt work

LMAO

[final iron]

Lets see the code

[slate swan]

error?

[wild oak]

i think i know the issue gimme a min

[final iron]

Also I have no idea why you're putting brackets everywhere

[carmine pilot]

Brackets?

[wild oak]

()

[carmine pilot]

Where

[final iron]

Does dpy even support slash commands?

Wasn't that the reason danny quit?

[final iron]

In the commands.Bot() statement

[slate swan]

he probably using a fork

[wild oak]

omg i quit

[final iron]

Hes importing discord

[wild oak]

error

[final iron]

That is dpy

[slate swan]

py-cord is import discord

[carmine pilot]

wdym

[final iron]

!pypi py-cord

[unkempt canyon]

py-cord v1.7.3

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[wild oak]

bro i thought it was cuz i didnt add like the info thing for it

[final iron]

Are you using the official dpy or a fork?

[wild oak]

because my help command is setup like this

[carmine pilot]

idk

[wild oak]

thats not very usefull

lmao

[final iron]

@slate swan py-cord is literally discord.py

[wild oak]

and this is why i thought it wasnt working

[slate swan]

a fork

[wild oak]

becuase i didnt put this thing

[final iron]

They don't have documentation. It just links to the dpy docs

[wild oak]

in this

[slate swan]

sussy i see py-cord's docs

[final iron]

I'm clicking on the link at the bottom. Their pypi page is complete shit tbh. They literally just copied the dpy one while having completely different syntax

[slate swan]

same as the other forks

[wild oak]

but

i put it in there

and it still dont work

do i put it here too

[slate swan]

ahh self has to be the first arg if your command is in a cog

[wild oak]

what

so like i can actually fix it

and dont have to give up

?

[slate swan]

yeah

[wild oak]

LETS GOOOOO

[slate swan]

put self aas the first arg

[final iron]

@wild oak Im guessing you didn't learn python basics before dpy?

[wild oak]

nope

kinda just skimmed it

[final iron]

These are the types of issues that leads to

[slate swan]

fix the indent a bit

[wild oak]

bro

where

i tried 😩

welp

So the yogaball command works now

but same error for the help command

lmao

[slate swan]

thats because the cog returned a None

[wild oak]

how the dilly darn dang do i fix that

lmao

[wild oak]

?

[faint echo]

Hello given that my bot has several modules(cogs) in it
I want to check if a command was executed from a specific cog, if this is True then # do something.

Is there an event that checks for commands in a specific cog?

I'm using Discord.py

[wild oak]

how do i fix that i thought i put the """ thing

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

    if message.author == client:
        return

    if 'help' in message.content.lower():
        await message.channel.send('Hello, How can I help you?')
    await client.process_commands(message)

The bot reads. its own message and gets stuck in an infinite loop. How do i make the bot not read 'help' in its own message?

[faint echo]

I could be wrong here but try to use this code:

if not message.author.bot:
    #(everything goes in here)
    await self.process_commands(message)

@slate swan

[slate swan]

ok lemme try

[wild oak]

@slate swan I literally tried to fix it and i cant

[faint echo]

put your conditionals in there

[wild oak]

it keeps saying the same stupid thing

this is how my help commands set up this is the error and its becuase i added this new command

[faint echo]

Your error is because cog is not being recognized as an actual cog.
Clearly indicating a Nonetype which does not have .get_commands()
Check each error and see if you can fix it

[wild oak]

how can i see which one that doesnt have .get_commands()

i mean

[faint echo]

Could you show me help.py

thanks

[wild oak]

Yes i can do you want a fuller ss?

[faint echo]

Well if you can just show u pto line 30

exactly

[wild oak]

whats wrong with it?

im quite slow so gimme a break 😂

[wild oak]

it literally worked untill i made a new cog

do you want to see the new cog?

[faint echo]

Yes

[faint echo]

Well you seem to know the problem, one of your cogs is not being recognized

[wild oak]

Do you know why?

originally i thought this was the problem

becuase i didnt have this in the start

but it wasnt

[faint echo]

try doing something

[wild oak]

like what a diffrent command

[faint echo]

in line 30 of help.py
you have: i.lower()
take out the method

[wild oak]

ok

[faint echo]

just to see if this works

[wild oak]

ok brb

OHHH

Waait

[faint echo]

Works?

[faint echo]

self.bot.get_cog(i) without the lower

[wild oak]

completely remove the line or just i.lower

OHHH ok

ohh

[faint echo]

no parenthesis

[faint echo]

Ok

try now

[wild oak]

trying it

[pliant gulch]

What is the point of doing get_cog here?

[wild oak]

oh

[faint echo]

I'm guessing he wants to get the cog instance

[pliant gulch]

Bot.cogs is a dict which contains the cogs name as the key and the cog class itself...

[wild oak]

OH MY GO

[pliant gulch]

If you want all cogs you can just do for i in self.bot.cogs.values()

I don't really understand the point of get_cog

[faint echo]

did it work?

[wild oak]

YOUR LITERALLY A GENIOUS DUDE

YES

[faint echo]

thats because cogs is case sensitive

you attempted to lower it

[wild oak]

OHHHHH

[faint echo]

so... problem

[wild oak]

OMG tysm

[faint echo]

take Andy's advice tho

his code will be better for you

[wild oak]

Thanks

[wild oak]

And thank you

[faint echo]

no problem

[wild oak]

No because you and maybe a few other people are experienced enough to see that because I'm honestly amazed

Im suprised you saw the issue

[faint echo]

I'm surprised too

[wild oak]

i was really gonna go without a help command 😂

[faint echo]

Lol.. help command is always helpful

no pun intended

[slate swan]

anyone know why the bot dont respond even tho i said yes or no?

[flint cosmos]

Does anyone know what is going on here?

[final iron]

What is systemMessagesChannel?

[hexed moon]

so how does this bot channel work

do i just ask my question and the bot will magically find an answer

[flint cosmos]

systemMessagesChannel = client.get_channel(913090699254190110)

[final iron]

So its saying its None

Is the ID correct?

[flint cosmos]

It wasn't doing this earlier, not sure what I changed... do you know if get_channel() requires a certain import ?

[flint cosmos]

Yes it is

It is working with my on_member_remove() so it can't be that

[final iron]

Can I see the code where its getting the channel?

[carmine pilot]

Can anyone create me a simple ping pong command with slash commands?

[carmine pilot]

Every time I try and build one it never works.

[carmine pilot]

YouTube tuts are outdated.

[flint cosmos]

Ok I am not doing this right, so it looks like I cant use get_channel, get_role and things like that outside of a function. Do you know a way I can define my systemMessagesChannel without redefining it everytime I wanna use it ?

[carmine pilot]

.

[flint cosmos]

One sec, I gotchu

[final iron]

Send the code

[carmine pilot]

Just deleted it bc I gave up.

[flint cosmos]

@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):

(with slash commands?)

[final iron]

Read the docs

anyone know why this isnt working?

[flint cosmos]

This should tell you all you need to know https://pythonrepo.com/repo/eunwoo1104-discord-py-slash-command

[final iron]

!d discord.Client.latency then multiply it by 1000

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.latency

property latency: float```
Measures latency between a HEARTBEAT and a HEARTBEAT\_ACK in seconds.

This could be referred to as the Discord WebSocket protocol latency.

[final iron]

Creating a slash command will be different depending on which library you're using

[final iron]

What do you mean not working?

[slate swan]

idk where the bot stops working but if my input is 'yes' or 'no' it doesn't do anything

[final iron]

Also no need for the brackets in the if statement

[slate swan]

ok

[final iron]

I haven't worked with wait_for you could put print statements along your code to see where it stops though

[slate swan]

perfect, let me try

[slate swan]

ig there's something wrong w

 try:
                reply = await client.wait_for("reply", check = lambda m: m.author == message.author and m.channel == message.channel, timeout = 30.0)

because after 30 seconds the bot just says its gonna end the conversation bc i failed to reply even tho i replied

[final iron]

Is reply a valid event?

[slate swan]

lemme try check = check

yes

1 sec

fixed it @final iron thanks

[final iron]

Nice

Im not sure if this is your error, but I don't know if you can have two characters for your prefix. I could be wrong but maybe try it with one "?" maybe?

[slate swan]

nopüe

nope still doesnt work

[flint cosmos]

Oh I know your problem

[slate swan]

fr? whats it

[flint cosmos]

Make it

@bot.command()

You forgot the "@"

[jade tartan]

Anyone please?

[slate swan]

OHH

@flint cosmos i wish you and your family all the best

[flint cosmos]

Lol thank you.. I think ??

[jade tartan]

Anyone plz?

[flint cosmos]

How did you add your bot?

[slate swan]

christian

[flint cosmos]

Hello there

[slate swan]

do you know how to make cogs? Ive tried it a few times now and ive failed

[jade tartan]

How do you guys make like this link? https://discord.gg/python

[flint cosmos]

I do not unfortunately, not that experienced myself

[bronze pilot]

I'll send you a vid

[flint cosmos]

Wdym "like this"

[final iron]

Vanity url

[jade tartan]

like have ur invite link have ur discord server name link

[jade tartan]

Meaning?

[slate swan]

go to discords developer portal, give ur bot the admin rights and copy the link i think

[flint cosmos]

You need server boosted to the highest teir

[final iron]

After a certain amount of boosts the server owner can change the invite link for the server

[slate swan]

ive looked at them myself too but it didnt work

[bronze pilot]

I followed this tutorial for making a music bot, it uses cogs and it's what helped me start with cogs

[bronze pilot]

wtf looool

[slate swan]

could you explain to me how to do it? like its prolly just @bot.load_extension(filename)

[bronze pilot]

read smartass

[flint cosmos]

Well he is talking about using it for cogs not the actual bot though?

[slate swan]

or some like that

[final iron]

Still sharing how to make a music bot

[slate swan]

they just helpin me wtf

[flint cosmos]

Alright

[cerulean osprey]

Id take the topic to DMs tbh

[bronze pilot]

No there is a section in the video in main.py that's like ```python
import mycog1
import mycog2

cogs = [mycog, mycog2]
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

for i in range(len(cogs)):
cogs[i].setup(bot)

I don't fully understand it yet but this is how it was implemented, and it works

[final iron]

Thats not ideal

[slate swan]

hm alright i think i understand it

[flint cosmos]

So is anybody able to help ?

[final iron]

You can loop through a directory where you store all your cogs and load them automatically instead of doing it manually

[bronze pilot]

wdym

[slate swan]

show us how please

thats like the only thing i need rn

ion wanna do everything in the main file

[bronze pilot]

yeah I'm interested in how to do that now

[final iron]

This goes against my rule of spoon feeding but sure

[bronze pilot]

omg

[final iron]

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')

[slate swan]

this guy

[flint cosmos]

I feel like some people just need to see how to stuff just saying

[slate swan]

ight thanks

[final iron]

edit client to what ever you defined your bot constructor as

[cerulean osprey]

I think its just client.get_role()

Not sure

[flint cosmos]

Ok trying that rn

[final iron]

With this bit os.listdir('./cogs') you would change 'cogs to what ever the folder name is that you stored your cogs in

[slate swan]

How can I find the code for these emojis: ✅ ❌

[final iron]

If the cogs folder is not in the same directory your main.py file is in you're going to have to provide a full path

[sullen shoal]

thats ugly

[cerulean osprey]

Pretty sure its just <:name of emoji:id> but Im not sure

[sullen shoal]

!d pkgutil.iter_modules

[unkempt canyon]

pkgutil.iter\_modules

pkgutil.iter_modules(path=None, prefix='')```
Yields [`ModuleInfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pkgutil.html#pkgutil.ModuleInfo "pkgutil.ModuleInfo") for all submodules on *path*, or, if *path* is `None`, all top-level modules on `sys.path`.

*path* should be either `None` or a list of paths to look for modules in.

*prefix* is a string to output on the front of every module name on output.

Note

Only works for a [finder](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-finder) which defines an `iter_modules()` method. This interface is non-standard, so the module also provides implementations for [`importlib.machinery.FileFinder`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#importlib.machinery.FileFinder "importlib.machinery.FileFinder") and [`zipimport.zipimporter`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/zipimport.html#zipimport.zipimporter "zipimport.zipimporter").

Changed in version 3.3: Updated to be based directly on [`importlib`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#module-importlib "importlib: The implementation of the import machinery.") rather than relying on the package internal [**PEP 302**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0302) import emulation.

Welp worth a try

[dusk pumice]

You may just put \ in front of emoji
Like \![lemon_wink](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/901978998400229376.webp?size=128 "lemon_wink")

[slate swan]

These don't have Ids i think. I didn't find them atleast

\✅

so.. this?

\❌

[final iron]

Theres really no point to using this. It complicates things for no reason

For beginners my method is just fine

[dusk pumice]

Yes

[sullen shoal]

it doesn't, it's a two line code

[slate swan]

Nope, emoji argument must be str, Emoji, or Reaction not NoneType

[unkempt canyon]

bot.py lines 26 to 27

for cog in pkgutil.iter_modules(["cogs"]):
    bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{cog.name}")```

[cerulean osprey]

Mmm weird, maybe look on the docs?

[dusk pumice]

Haha
It works to me

[final iron]

So reducing the code by 1 line really matters that much?

[gaunt ice]

it's not getrole, it's testRole = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles,name=<role name>,id = <id>), u can either use name or I'd but don't use both at same time

[sullen shoal]

readability matters

[final iron]

Thats why simplicity is important

[sullen shoal]

yes

[slate swan]

;(

[final iron]

Your method may be simple for you but for someone who has never heard of pkgutil its not

[gaunt ice]

for this u need to import discord.utils get function, from discord.utils import get

[slate swan]

Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\Windows\OneDrive\Desktop\Bot\main.py", line 12, in <module> bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}') File "C:\Users\Windows\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\nextcord\ext\commands\bot.py", line 733, in load_extension self._load_from_module_spec(spec, name) File "C:\Users\Windows\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\nextcord\ext\commands\bot.py", line 678, in _load_from_module_spec raise errors.ExtensionFailed(key, e) from e nextcord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.mainhelp' raised an error: CommandRegistrationError: The command help is already an existing command or alias. PS C:\Users\Windows\OneDrive\Desktop\Bot>
Anyone got an idea of what this means?

[sullen shoal]

pkgutil is a useful built-in module, they should know about it, there's no fix time for beginners to know them

[gaunt ice]

that command already exists

[slate swan]

but it doesnt, thats a file i made in a folder called cogs

[gaunt ice]

so basically discord.py made this update abt the help cmd every bot has

[flint cosmos]

I think thats a different way

[slate swan]

im not using discord.py lol im using nextcord

[gaunt ice]

but works

[flint cosmos]

Same thing essentially

[slate swan]

yeah aight

forgot nextcord is just forked

[final iron]

I have never seen anyone use that module. I doubt if its that useful I never would of heard about it

[flint cosmos]

Yep

[final iron]

Anyway its only a 1 line difference

It doesn't matter.

[sullen shoal]

because they never heard of it, this is one of things why using cogs is so easy

[flint cosmos]

Can someone explain to me how to use the get_role() because all the docs tells me is that I need to put an ID in as an argument but I dont know if I should be doing member.get_role() or whatever lol

[slate swan]

Bro what?

it doesnt make sense

where am i missing the ctx

[visual island]

the first argument should be "self" and ctx second

[slate swan]

fixxed it. Yeah i figured thanks. Could you explain to me what self does?

[sullen shoal]

that is the instance of the class

every method's first parameter is the instance of the class

staticmethod dont need it tho but lets not talk about them

it can be named anything, but you should name it self

[gaunt ice]

u can't get a role from a member ig but u can add role to the member by doing "add_role" and vice versa by "remove_role"

but u can get a role from the guild

[sullen shoal]

!e

class Foo():
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = "myxi"
    def method(self, name):
        print(self.name)
        self.name = name
        print(self.name)

foo = Foo() #this is our instance, doing this will call __init__ method. there are a few other methods that get called too but this is the one which is mostly useful
foo.method("prime")

[slate swan]

that was a pain

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | myxi
002 | prime

[flint cosmos]

I dont think you understand my question

[gaunt ice]

tbh I would suggest u to use utils instead of trying hard the get_role

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

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

[sullen shoal]

utils method is slow, you shouldn't stick with that

[flint cosmos]

Again, I know what the arguments I need to put are its just I dont know what to put before the get_role()

[sullen shoal]

get_role is a method of discord.Guild

you need an instance of discord.Guild

[flint cosmos]

So how do I do this?

[sullen shoal]

commands.Context returns the guild with one of it's attributes, discord.Message returns it with one of its attributes as well

you may check their docs

[flint cosmos]

But do I put like.. client.get_role() ?

[sullen shoal]

member ie discord.Member

i just explained you how to use it

[flint cosmos]

Idk where you want me to check

[sullen shoal]

what is your confusion

[flint cosmos]

Ok so I have a on_member_join().
I need to give a member a role inside of that function.
In order to do this I believe I need a role object so I can use add_roles().
I need to know what to put before the get_role(roleID) in this case.
I tried client.get_role(roleID) but that did not seem to work.
I don't know what exactly to put in this case.

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Member.guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild

The guild that the member belongs to.

[visual island]

member.guild is a discord.Guild instance

[sullen shoal]

this event's first parameter (except the class instance) is discord.Member instance

[maiden fable]

The first and the only param*

[hollow agate]

@client.command()
async def testing(ctx):
    embed1 = discord.Embed(
        title="",
        description=
        f"Embed1",
    color=discord.Color.purple())
    embed2 = discord.Embed(
        title="",
        description=
        f"Embed2",
    color=discord.Color.purple())
    await ctx.send(embed=embed1, embed=embed2)``` How would I send both the embeds?

[maiden fable]

embeds=[]

Also just skip the title kwarg if u don't wanna set one

[hollow agate]

    await ctx.send(embeds=embed1, embed2)``` Doesn't seem to work, but I probably misunderstood you

[maiden fable]

send(embeds=[embed1, embed2])

[hollow agate]

Ahh, thank you!

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if not message.author.bot:
        if 'help' in message.content.lower() or 'staff' in message.content.lower():
            embed = discord.Embed(description = '**__Hello, This is an automated message.__** \n- If you are looking for the list of commands: Please do \"-com\". \n- If you\'re looking for help beyond that: respond with \"yes\". \n- If you dont need help and this is a mistake: respond with \"no\".')
            await message.channel.send(embed = embed)

How do i make the bot respond in a different channel?

[sullen shoal]

!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**.

[slate swan]

[perfect thanks

[sullen shoal]

you need an instance of TextChannel, not the class itself.
discord.Message.channel returns it
thats why you did message.channel.send because
message which is discord.Message has an attribute channel which returns it

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Guild.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

get_channel(channel_id, /)```
Returns a channel with the given ID.

Note

This does *not* search for threads.

[gaunt ice]

wdym it's slow

[maiden fable]

It takes too much time

[gaunt ice]

it doesnt

[slate swan]

okay so ive added a button to my bot, and i wanted to know if its possible to show this message "Coming!" as an Embed and not just a normal message (nextcord)

[maiden fable]

Breg in small operations it doesn't, but when your bot gets bigger and stuff, it will start taking

[gaunt ice]

k

[maiden fable]

Just use the embed kwarg?

[slate swan]

but where tho

[maiden fable]

send_message()

[gaunt ice]

embedR = discord.Embed(title="title", description="smh")

[slate swan]

under the await Interaction right?

[maiden fable]

No, inside it 🤦

[slate swan]

oh yeah saw it but whenever i do embed = discord.Embed(title..etc)

it says discord is not defined

[maiden fable]

Then do nextcord.Embed

[slate swan]

alr thanks

[slate swan]

now how would i fix this

question how can you make the !e command from the python bot?

[sullen shoal]

check the source code

[slate swan]

someone help me please

[slate swan]

good idea

[sullen shoal]

!src e

[unkempt canyon]

Command: eval

Run Python code and get the results.

Source Code

Go to GitHub

bot/exts/utils/snekbox.py:281

[slate swan]

thx

[slate swan]

anyone?

fixed it

it works thanks a lot @maiden fable

next question, is there a way i could add buttons to a message sent from the bot because the user clicked on a button?

[wintry panther]

does someone have a script that makes bots leave all the server its in

i only found out how to do it when someone messages something

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Client.guilds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.guilds

property guilds: List[discord.guild.Guild]```
The guilds that the connected client is a member of.

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Guild.leave

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.leave

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

Leaves the guild.

Note

You cannot leave the guild that you own, you must delete it instead via [`delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.delete "discord.Guild.delete").

[slate swan]

how to resolve this?

anybody know the reason of this error?

[tiny ibex]

Can someone tell me how did the time thing in the footer update automatically

And how is it synced to my timezone when it looks different to other people

[brittle ingot]

It should just be await message.channel.send(“Error: [{error}]”.format(error=e))

[tiny ibex]

And message is not even edited

[slate swan]

Hey yall how can i make my bot send a perfect embed from a message that comes from a button? I cant see finding out how

[brittle ingot]

Define the embed first then send it with the interaction response…

[tiny ibex]

Wow you the Developer of slot bot?

[slate swan]

how can i fix it?

[slate swan]

nah im making a bot that explains what each bot does

[tiny ibex]

Bruh

[slate swan]

its just for training i aint that good at python so i gotta work on something

[sullen shoal]

try making it a keyword only argument (eat all the text the user provides)

[slate swan]

AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'is_voice_connected'
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'send_message'```

client object?

what

[tiny ibex]

Can someone please tell me this

[slate swan]

i used *args

[sullen shoal]

thats not keyword only argument

[slate swan]

yeah ik

[sullen shoal]

ctx, *, arg

[brittle ingot]

If you find out lemme know 😄

[slate swan]

im going to try it

[tiny ibex]

Bruh

[sullen shoal]

command(ctx, arg, arg2): pass

if you do the command smth like this,

.command "hello world oof i" hello

first arg will contain the content inside the quotes and the second one hello

[slate swan]

how can i fix an error if it says ctx is not defined?

[slate swan]

Pass an aware datetime object into timezone kwarg of embed

[slate swan]

...

[tiny ibex]

And it won't be updated

[slate swan]

thanks brother

[slate swan]

It should be updated automatically by discord...

[tiny ibex]

And won't be synced to other member's timezones

[slate swan]

I guess there was some change in the api recently requiring you to pass .... maybe utc aware object iirc

what datetime object did you pass?

[tiny ibex]

Well I got the answer already

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed.timestamp

[slate swan]

how did the bot send this type of text

the black background and white text

[slate swan]

`text_here` -> text_here

[tiny ibex]

Bruh just use `some_text`

[slate swan]

the text comes like: text here but it is not white, it is grey(the font in the image is white)

[sullen shoal]

`by doing this`

[tiny ibex]

When it will be inside an embed it will look white

[slate swan]

Do you mean to bold it too? Try **`text_here`**

yes that works

Does anyone know what i should replace author with in the m.channel == ?

its usually the channel that the message is going to be read, i want to set to to author.dms

[maiden fable]

m.channel == user?

Ig?

[slate swan]

lemme try

dm = await message.author.create_dm()
m.channel == dm

whats bots you guys making

[slate swan]

dm = await message.author.create_dm()

and just set m.channel = dm

[maiden fable]

Yes u can do that

[slate swan]

ok this is pretty weird lmao

@maiden fable

so, here's my code:

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

Umm no, comparisons first check if the classes are instances of a common class

[slate swan]

dm = await message.author.create_dm()

and just set m.channel = dm

this worked,

Instead do m.channel == user.dm_channel

Why do you need to comsume a request ...?

is that bad in any way?

Umm sorry it's fine.. It first checks if dm_channel exists

So you're good with it

Umhmm

1 thing, if you're free

@slate swan

Sure

so this is my code:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if not message.author.bot:
        if 'help' in message.content.lower() or 'staff' in message.content.lower():
            dm = await message.author.create_dm()
            embed = discord.Embed(description = f'**__Hello {message.author.mention}, This is an automated message.__** \n- If you are looking for the list of commands: Please do \"-com\". \n- If you\'re looking for help beyond that: respond with \"yes\". \n- If you dont need help and this is a mistake: respond with \"no\".')
            await dm.send(embed = embed)

            try:
                reply = await client.wait_for('message', check = lambda m: m.author == message.author and m.channel == dm, timeout = 30.0)

            except asyncio.TimeoutError:
                reply_embed = discord.Embed(description = 'This conversation will end because you failed to reply.')
                await message.author.send(embed = reply_embed)

            else:
                if reply.content.lower() == 'yes':
                    embed = discord.Embed(description = 'What specifically do you need help with?')
                    await message.author.send(embed=embed)

                elif reply.content.lower() == 'no':
                    embed = discord.Embed(description = 'Oh no! I\'m so sorry! Hope you are enjoying your time here at DSRP.')
                    await message.author.send(embed=embed)

                elif reply.content.lower() == '-com':
                    embed = discord.Embed(description = 'There\'s your list of commands')
                    await message.author.send(embed=embed)

                else:
                    embed = discord.Embed(description = 'I cannot understand your reply. Sorry!')
                    await message.author.send(embed = embed)

    await client.process_commands(message)

when a user inputs -com, it responds with a custom client.group and the bot basically outputs the group + "here's your list"

How can i fix this error? "ctx" is not defined.

[upbeat otter]

Show entire command

[slate swan]

You mean you need to list the commands of that group?

no

[glad scarab]

Define it

[slate swan]

the bot is somehow printing that list the commands command in dms and hhanding me a huge error

Umm also, what is client.group?

its working but its giving me a huge error

Error?

[slate swan]

a command list i made

lemme send error

oh okay

[upbeat otter]

Either make your bot check the added bot's permissions and ping a staff whose online

[slate swan]

Im working on a bot that basically explains the economy systems of other bots.

[slate swan]

and i want to have a button to the message that came from a button if yk what i mean

its working but its handing me this error, should i be worried?

[upbeat otter]

Your function Sbdrugs, doesnt have a ctx argument

[slate swan]

oh bruh im stupid

thanks a lot

[upbeat otter]

Its okay, dont be like that

[slate swan]

def stickbug_vid(url, link):
    endpoint=neko_base+"stickbug&url="+str(url)

[slate swan]

You're trying to delete user's message in their dm

You can't, as the error says

ahh okay understood

i'll just ignore it lol

[slate swan]

okay, so now it almost works fine its just that there isnt a button on the last message.

Just remove the .delete() call, or suppress the error so that it don't affect anything else

[slate swan]

1. Drugs

[maiden fable]

There can't be a button on an ephemeral message

[slate swan]

how would i suppress the error?

[slate swan]

ah alright

[upbeat otter]

Wait.....nqn does that

[maiden fable]

Does it?

[slate swan]

i cant really delete the call bc its it helps organize bot commands chat in main server

[upbeat otter]

Lemme see

[slate swan]

Your line 27 in bot.py... remove that line if you don't need it,... or use contextlib.suppress()

!d contextlib.suppress

[unkempt canyon]

contextlib.suppress

contextlib.suppress(*exceptions)```
Return a context manager that suppresses any of the specified exceptions if they occur in the body of a `with` statement and then resumes execution with the first statement following the end of the `with` statement.

As with any other mechanism that completely suppresses exceptions, this context manager should be used only to cover very specific errors where silently continuing with program execution is known to be the right thing to do.

For example...

[slate swan]

ill try if it works without ephemeral on

[slate swan]

where would contextlib.suppress() go?

[upbeat otter]

@maiden fable yes nqn uses buttons on them too

[maiden fable]

Can I see a pic?

[slate swan]

with contextlib.suppress(Exception):
    # do whatever can error and you need to suppress it

[slate swan]

ok

[maiden fable]

Oh, hmm sorry my bad then

[slate swan]

so what could the error in my code be?

[upbeat otter]

Lmao, your about meee so cool

[maiden fable]

Haha thanks

[slate swan]

...

[slate swan]

also, is there any way for the bot to purge the conversation in dms once its done?

[slate swan]

@maiden fable @upbeat otter sorry for the ping but do yall have any idea perhaps

[slate swan]

Try passing the view with button as a view= kwarg

[slate swan]

alr

[slate swan]

No

It can only purge it's own messages

but not the users'

sounds good

[upbeat otter]

[slate swan]

sorry to ask this but what was a kwarg again?

!args-kwargs

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

These special parameters allow functions to take arbitrary amounts of positional and keyword arguments. The names args and kwargs are purely convention, and could be named any other valid variable name. The special functionality comes from the single and double asterisks (*). If both are used in a function signature, *args must appear before **kwargs.

Single asterisk
*args will ingest an arbitrary amount of positional arguments, and store it in a tuple. If there are parameters after *args in the parameter list with no default value, they will become required keyword arguments by default.

Double asterisk
**kwargs will ingest an arbitrary amount of keyword arguments, and store it in a dictionary. There can be no additional parameters after **kwargs in the parameter list.

Use cases
• Decorators (see !tags decorators)
• Inheritance (overriding methods)
• Future proofing (in the case of the first two bullet points, if the parameters change, your code won't break)
• Flexibility (writing functions that behave like dict() or print())

See !tags positional-keyword for information about positional and keyword arguments

[slate swan]

Lol

[pale turtle]

I would suggest you'd learn vasic Python brfore approaching the discord.py library, as it is a complicated that involved a lot of advanced Python library

[slate swan]

i am learning both, its just that sometimes i forget some easy things

[bitter perch]

do you know python

[slate swan]

yes

I understood I mixed .start() with the thread

[bitter perch]

you're mutating a list instead of returning

[slate swan]

huh?

[bitter perch]

def stickbug_vid(url, link):
    endpoint=neko_base+"stickbug&url="+str(url)
    link[0]=(requests.get(endpoint).json()["message"])

just, return?

[slate swan]

IDK if return would work

on threading

[bitter perch]

better yet use aiohttp

and not use threading

[slate swan]

how can I, i never used aiohttp for this function

[bitter perch]

read the aiohttp quickstart docs

they will tell you all you need to know about using it

[slate swan]

!e```py
from threading import Thread

def function(arg, s):
s[0]=arg
t=[None]
a=Thread(target=function, args=(3, t))
a.start()
a.join()
print(t[0])```

\🤔

[bitter perch]

this seems like a "why use threading" moment of overcomplication

[slate swan]

why is it not executing??

🤷‍♂️

!e```py
from threading import Thread

def function(arg, s):
s[0]=arg
t=[None]
a=Thread(target=function, args=(3, t))
a.start()
a.join()
print(t[0])```

[bitter perch]

use aiohttp

[slate swan]

hmmm...

[pliant gulch]

Why are you using threading with an asynchronous environment

[bitter perch]

threading is the answer to all problems of course

until you discover gil

[lament mesa]

multiprocessing
