[slate swan]

Youll have to convert the emoji to a str right?

[stark lintel]

OHHHHHHH

I KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ERROR

[sage otter]

honestly idk. If they are default emojis I just pass it in as is. "☝️"

[slate swan]

How do I do it then?

[slate swan]

Depends if you can ig

I mostly do it like that

you can't copy emojis in like that

they are default discord emojis

[sage otter]

Copy them off the internet

[stark lintel]

I GOT A NEW ERROR! thats a success in my book, but now i need help with this new one lol

[sage otter]

Send

[stark lintel]

@sage otter if it says channel has no attribute 'send' as the error, what should i do to this piece of code to fix it

[slate swan]

Why dont you just send the msg with the channel of the context that was invoked?

[pliant gulch]

You can do \emoji which returns a emoji you can copy and paste, E.g \☑️

[slate swan]

\🙂

[stark lintel]

i could, but sort of like with dyno, i want to be able to specify from one channel another channel to send an announcement to if possible

[manic wing]

andy

[slate swan]

It will probably say nonetype if you dont add anything

[manic wing]

do you know how to subclass on_message in subclassed discord.ext.commands.Bot with it acting as a listener and commands still work?

[slate swan]

from disnake.ext import commands
from disnake.ext.commands.bot import Bot

class On_ready(commands.Cog):
    @commands.Bot.event()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("hi")

def setup(bot: Bot) -> None:
    bot.add_cog(On_ready(bot))

wont work, any1 help?

[tough mirage]

why doesnt this work

    @tasks.loop(seconds=75)
    async def live_status():
        pcount = pc()
        Dis = self.client.get_guild(876471014043815966) #Int

        activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'🐌 {pcount}')
        await self.client.change_presence(activity=activity)
        await asyncio.sleep(15)

        activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'👥 {Dis.member_count}')
        await self.client.change_presence(activity=activity)
        await asyncio.sleep(15)

        activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'NOT lowkey#0669')
        await self.client.change_presence(activity=activity)
        await asyncio.sleep(15)

        activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'City of lights')
        await self.client.change_presence(activity=activity)
        await asyncio.sleep(15)

        activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'DISCORD INVITE')
        await self.client.change_presence(activity=activity)
        await asyncio.sleep(15)

tf you doing here

[slate swan]

tf you mean?

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, **options)```
Represents a discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

[manic wing]

its this, and you dont just import it, you need to pass it through bot.load_extension(...)

[slate swan]

bruh

[slate swan]

Its on_ready idk if its case sensitive

[stark lintel]

@slate swan see this is what i want it to do, and it successfully gets the announcement command, but it wont send because its not getting the channel correctly

[slate swan]

My man, I import it to typehint the the bot parameter since Disnake want is, the load extension is in my main file

[slate swan]

the class name can be uppercase

[slate swan]

My bad and why did you named the class on ready lol

[manic wing]

a) its @commands.Bot.listener b) the imports wrong afaik c) incorrect naming conventiosn

[slate swan]

I was looking at the class name

[manic wing]

[quick gust]

u can copy the unicode for the default ones by typing \:thumbsup: or any emoji name

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

Bro you're confusing between forks

I'm not using the fork made by rapptz

[slate swan]

There's allot

there is nothing wrong with the imports at all, it's the event listener im having issues with, and there is no @commands.Bot.listener in disnake

[pliant gulch]

Why not just do ```py
async def on_message(self, message: discord.Message) -> None:
# do stuff here
super().on_message(self, message) # calls the superclasses on_message

So you would end up doing stuff, but then also having a regular on_message?

[manic wing]

do commands still work like this?

[pliant gulch]

If you just want commands to work you can just add await self.process_commands(message)

To the on_message

No need for calling the superclasses on_message

[slate swan]

So your using disnake and dpy 🚶

Wait nvm

[manic wing]

yeah but thats messssssy

[slate swan]

I need glasses

[pliant gulch]

Just do what you feel like would work then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stark lintel]

okimii, i decided to switch to what you said, which is just use the context of the channel to send, but now, when i try to mention the role, it wont let me. this is the error i get

[sage otter]

Type hint

So whatever role you pass can convert

[stark lintel]

how?

[sage otter]

role: discord.Role

[stark lintel]

oh, ok, thanks

[slate swan]

what's the thing for doing an event on a members ban?

is it on_member_ban

[sage otter]

Precisely.

[stark lintel]

now what @sage otter 🤣 sorry for bothering you so much btw

[sage otter]

How are you using the command

[stark lintel]

here, ill get a screenshot

here it is

[sage otter]

Remove role

[stark lintel]

ok

IT WORKED

THANK YOU SO MUCH

oh man that is sweet, thanks a ton

@sage otter one more question, its not super important, but the thing you told me to do with the role where i set it role: discord.Role... can i do something similar with the channel, like idk channel : discord.Channel or something like that?

[sage otter]

Yes

[stark lintel]

how would i do it

[sage otter]

well in your case

discord.TextChannel

[stark lintel]

ok, let me go try that... ill brb

IT WORKED @sage otter I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH

thanks so much for helping me this morning

[sage otter]

👌

[slate swan]

How do I fix this?

            member_role = ctx.guild.get_role(916843979411185674)

            await ctx.channel.set_permissions(member_role, send_messages=False)

Command raised an exception: InvalidArgument: target parameter must be either Member or Role

[sage otter]

print member_role

If it’s None then you need intents.

[slate swan]

yeah it came back as none

I have this for intents tho?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Intents


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

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

[sage otter]

You sure you got the right role ID?

And is that role actually in that guild

[stark lintel]

I got another question if you are willing to try right now

how would i make the role argument optional @sage otter

[sage otter]

Default it

[stark lintel]

how lol

[sage otter]

role = None

And do some logic stuff.

[stark lintel]

ok, ill try that, thanks

[lost vine]

Hey, how can I solve this?

IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

[sullen shoal]

uh

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[stark lintel]

@sage otter like this?

[lost vine]

How to solve this problem? I typed this and it showed errors:

[stark lintel]

@lost vine do you know how, in this code, id set role to default or role = None?

[lost vine]

I think you should set it to None because the bot can be confused when you set default role because many people will have different roles

[stark lintel]

how would i do this?

[slate swan]

role arg will be None

when you call the command you add the role obj

[stark lintel]

how would i type it so it doesn't trigger a SyntaxError

[lost vine]

@slate swan Can you help me with this?

[lost vine]

role = None ig

[slate swan]

it will always be None

[lost vine]

Ohh

I'm new to discord.py

[stark lintel]

for this, maybe try context=f'<your stuff here>'

idk for sure though

[slate swan]

its a Nonetype arg

[stark lintel]

so okimii, how would i set it so that sometimes i can set a role to ping, but i dont have to?

[slate swan]

idk why both of you are getting syntax errors when its correct

[lost vine]

Lol

I don't really know

[sage otter]

Oh yeah Okimii. Professional helper.

[slate swan]

if you want it sometimes you can add a value of None or make kwargs

[slate swan]

no

[lost vine]

For real

[slate swan]

really stupid i think you ment

[sage otter]

Omg don’t tell me you're using IDLE

[stark lintel]

LMAO

[sage otter]

I might actually lose it if you are.

[stark lintel]

I AM

I LIKE IT

[lost vine]

I'm using replit

[slate swan]

agreed!

[slate swan]

you forgot a coma

wait no

[stark lintel]

keep in mind though, im trying to keep it so that it says its discord.Role

[slate swan]

what is that

role: discord.Role=None

thats how it should look

[stark lintel]

now what...

[slate swan]

says it in the error lol

just add the positional arg on front and make all of them kwargs after

[stark lintel]

i know, but i still want to keep it there when im typing the actual command. Is that possible?

[slate swan]

what is the if > < >= <= sign for "under ---" i forgot

[slate swan]

wdym?

[sage otter]

Are you asking what they are for?

[slate swan]

kinda basic its like math lol

[lost vine]

Like I even used command prompt to run the program and this error is still there

[slate swan]

im asking like which one is it for "under (number)" for if statements because i forgot

[slate swan]

check indentations again

[sage otter]

Oh

[stark lintel]

how do that 🤣 ?

[sage otter]

<

[lost vine]

Here is the part

[sage otter]

Less than operator.

[slate swan]

theres only 2 spaces

it should be 4

[lost vine]

Ohhh lemme try

Thank you so much

[slate swan]

you add the positional arg on front?

[stark lintel]

how thoughh

[verbal cairn]

anyone know how to create a paginator with reactions and not buttons

[stark lintel]

oh wait

i firgeured it out

[tawdry perch]

!paste can you paste your code here so I can view the indent properly @slate swan

[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.

[slate swan]

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

you need an indent after else:

and your if has to be connected with the else

Command raised an exception: TypeError: Subscripted generics cannot be used with class and instance checks```

!resources before dpy

[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.

[slate swan]

what's your code?

Here is the command: ```py
@commands.command(
name="SetRange",
brief="Choose a lucky number between a range of values."
)
@commands.has_permissions()
async def set_range(self, ctx, *, range):
if range.startswith("random"):
return await self.set_number(
ctx.message,
ctx.channel.id,
range
)

minimum, maximum = [int(float(value)) for value in range.split("-")]

await self.set_number(
  ctx.message, 
  ctx.channel.id, 
  [minimum, maximum],
  range=True
)

await resources.default.embed(
  msg=ctx.message,
  title=f"**The range has been set to {minimum}-{maximum}**"
)```

[slate swan]

4 errors no

now

[slate swan]

range seems to be a normal keyword

try naming your variable something else than range

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

lmao ihacu

[slate swan]

y?

[slate swan]

because it's a keyword

[slate swan]

ok where??

which line?

in your function's parameters

this dude looks like he's tryna get spoon fed

and where you use it

ahh so in this part:

  async def set_range(self, ctx, *, range):
    if range.startswith("random"):```

[slate swan]

your if has to be connected with the else

[tawdry perch]

The help embed is becoming a bit too large, I have ~borrowed yeeted a paginator from someones repo that I have used to embeds but how can I paginate a help embed? Current help command ```py
class MyNewHelp(commands.MinimalHelpCommand):
"""Bots help command class"""
async def send_pages(self):

    destination = self.get_destination()
    for page in self.paginator.pages:
        emby = disnake.Embed(description=page)
        await destination.send(embed=emby)

[slate swan]

everything between if and else has to be on the same indent, one level above the if

[slate swan]

im confused, what am i supposed to change because the lines are already togther

[slate swan]

I think it should be something else than MinimalHelpCommand

[tawdry perch]

hm?

[slate swan]

like PaginatorHelpCommand or smth, I don't know the name

[slate swan]

@slate swan here?

there aswell

[tawdry perch]

Where should I look it up?

can you just copy the lines where I need to change "range"?

like this

oh why doesn't this work

[slate swan]

every line where you have range

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com
can u type it here

[slate swan]

but it isnt a variable

[slate swan]

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

[slate swan]

how

you want it to be a variable

but variable names can't be keyword names

k let me see

[tawdry perch]

maybe just HelpCommand?

[slate swan]

Imma search after it

[tawdry perch]

I saw that used in @unkempt canyon, and thx if you mind to search it up 😄

[slate swan]

the minimalhelpcommand does have a paginator attribute

[nimble bobcat]

hi

[slate swan]

good news, no errors and the first part works
bad news, no errors but the else: doesn't send an embed

[slate swan]

and what's the issue?

[nimble bobcat]

how to convert this

[slate swan]

oh well put the ctx.send after the if and else statement

so it will send the embed whatever happens

it's my bad

[nimble bobcat]

im bad english sorry for my warnings

[slate swan]

oh you use disnake

is disnake very different from dpy?

[slate swan]

ahhhh

[tawdry perch]

not really

it's very close, it's a fork of dpy

[slate swan]

oh god I found a really complex github repo

oh wow

and he isn't even subclassing the help command

[tawdry perch]

how should I start creating a pagination for help command

[slate swan]

I'm gonna cry

[nimble bobcat]

I'm new to datetime so I don't know how to convert it to the format I want

[tawdry perch]

I remember when I made my own without subclassing 😔

[slate swan]

my help command still isn't subclassed

[tawdry perch]

oh

[slate swan]

and I can tell you the worst part

[tawdry perch]

Do I want to hear it 👀

[slate swan]

I'm storing my commands' data in a .txt file

[tawdry perch]

oh god

[slate swan]

I'm grabbing every command's name and description in a text file

[tawdry perch]

I'm outt

[slate swan]

and the required permission too

but I have a reload cogs system and the help command only updates when the whole bot restarts

that's where you see, that sometimes, I can't think straight

[tawdry perch]

oof

uh how can I implement the pagination for the MinimalHelpCommand?

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tawdry perch]

oh..

*Infinite Dad Jokes, ACTIVATE

BOT
Yessiree
I fear for the calendar, its days are numbered.
I fear for the calendar, its days are numbered.
I fear for the calendar, its days are numbered.
I fear for the calendar, its days are numbered.*

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.startswith('Infinite Dad Jokes, ACTIVATE'):
    await message.channel.send('Yessiree')
  if message.author ==client.user:
      await message.channel.send(dadjoke.joke)
      time.sleep(10)

So basically it's supposed to send out a random dad joke from dadjokes library every 10 seconds, based on responding to it's own messages. But it sends the same dad joke over and over again

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

Concurrency in Python

Python provides the ability to run multiple tasks and coroutines simultaneously with the use of the asyncio library, which is included in the Python standard library.

This works by running these coroutines in an event loop, where the context of the running coroutine switches periodically to allow all other coroutines to run, thus giving the appearance of running at the same time. This is different to using threads or processes in that all code runs in the main process and thread, although it is possible to run coroutines in other threads.

To call an async function we can either await it, or run it in an event loop which we get from asyncio.

To create a coroutine that can be used with asyncio we need to define a function using the async keyword:

async def main():
    await something_awaitable()

Which means we can call await something_awaitable() directly from within the function. If this were a non-async function, it would raise the exception SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function

To run the top level async function from outside the event loop we need to use asyncio.run(), like this:

import asyncio

async def main():
    await something_awaitable()

asyncio.run(main())

Note that in the asyncio.run(), where we appear to be calling main(), this does not execute the code in main. Rather, it creates and returns a new coroutine object (i.e main() is not main()) which is then handled and run by the event loop via asyncio.run().

To learn more about asyncio and its use, see the asyncio documentation.

fukc

I gotta work with async

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Deprecated since version 3.8, removed in version 3.10: The `loop` parameter. This function has been implicitly getting the current running loop since 3.7. See [What’s New in 3.10’s Removed section](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#whatsnew310-removed) for more information.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[sinful pasture]

ima die while working with that, I can do it, but I will die

[cloud dawn]

Best to make it a custom task as well.

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

[sinful pasture]

oof that hurts

alr then

Ty

[cloud dawn]

There are some examples so you should be getting started pretty fast :D

[sinful pasture]

I don't understand how asyncio sleep fixes the bot sending the same joke

[cloud dawn]

No it stops the bot from dying since it will actually stop the whole bot.

[cloud dawn]

Please read this.

[sinful pasture]

ah, so it effectively refreshes it, causing it to send a different joke?

smort

[royal jasper]

how can i send a dm to specific user using id?

[cloud dawn]

No you literally pause the bot so you cannot type any commands anymore while that is running. As for the dad joke you'd need to save it in a var to keep sending the same one.

[cloud dawn]

Get the user then .send() on the user object

[sinful pasture]

it's from the dadjokes library

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_user

get_user(id, /)```
Returns a user with the given ID.

[royal jasper]

can i use bot.get_user?

[cloud dawn]

Yes that is the usage.

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_user I recommend this as a backup.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch\_user

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

Retrieves a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") based on their ID. You do not have to share any guilds with the user to get this information, however many operations do require that you do.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`discord.Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_user()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_user "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_user") instead.

[cloud dawn]

Cache system is kinda flawed.

[cloud dawn]

I know but you need to save the joke you have gotten so you can re-use it.

[slate swan]

How can I make the bot send a png picture that's in a specific path?

[cloud dawn]

Use the relative path.

./subfolder/file.png

[slate swan]

but what is the function/method called to upload a file image as a message?

[cloud dawn]

It's a kwarg of .send()

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.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]

something like discord.File("")

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.File indeed

[slate swan]

file != image though?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=False)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[slate swan]

yup

spoiler kwarg looks handy

[slate swan]

Huh Disnake doesn't have that? 🤔

[cloud dawn]

Oh lemme search that doc 1 sec

[slate swan]

hehehehaw

search disnake docs lol

[slate swan]

you good?

Yes.

idk chief

[cloud dawn]

It's the same as in disnake but discord == disnake

!d disnake.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.abc.Messageable.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)```

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Embed "disnake.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 v3.10)") of [`Embed`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Embed "disnake.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

disnake.File

class disnake.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=False, description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.abc.Messageable.send "disnake.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.abc.Messageable.send "disnake.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[slate swan]

but this has a description too

[slate swan]

very nice

it's actually better in a way

[cloud dawn]

disnake IS better lol

[slate swan]

but idk where that description is shown

[slate swan]

i think it embeds it and makes a description idk

[cloud dawn]

Not much info on it in the docs

[slate swan]

mhmmm

weird

[cloud dawn]

!d disnake.File.description

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.File.description

The file’s description.

New in version 2.3.

[slate swan]

Argument of type "str" cannot be assigned to parameter "file" of type "File" in function "send_message"
"str" is incompatible with "File"

[cloud dawn]

Show the code?

[slate swan]

The file’s description.

        for file_name in os.listdir("exts\\utils\\imagine_img"):
            await inter.response.send_message(file=f"exts\\utils\\imagine_img\\{file_name}")

[cloud dawn]

Where is exts?

[slate swan]

you can't do that

[slate swan]

why not?

[slate swan]

inside "cogs"

file takes an actual File object

isnt it file = disnake.File("")

[cloud dawn]

Yeah that's what we've been trying to say hehe

!d disnake.File

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.File

class disnake.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=False, description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.abc.Messageable.send "disnake.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

[cloud dawn]

fp == file path

[slate swan]

ahh I see now

lmfao

wrong answer

[cloud dawn]

Also sending images quickly will rate limit you pretty quick.

[slate swan]

do you mind sending docs of ratelimiting

kinda lazy lol

[cloud dawn]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits

[slate swan]

I just send one, since there will only be one image

[upbeat belfry]

Sorry question, how do you color text in discord to make it look like code?

[slate swan]

thank you my good sir will read them later

[cloud dawn]

Use kwargs files and not file
files (List[File]) – A list of files to upload. Must be a maximum of 10.

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

Out of the question.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[upbeat belfry]

Thankies

[slate swan]

.bm

[sinful pasture]

I don't think I used asyncio.sleep properly

[cloud dawn]

I mean tbf we don't see anything you are doing lol

[sinful pasture]

ye

[slate swan]

disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 413 Payload Too Large (error code: 40005): Request entity too lar

[cloud dawn]

Max 10

[slate swan]

max 10 of what?

[quick gust]

images?

[cloud dawn]

Images aka files

[slate swan]

there is only one image..

[cloud dawn]

Over 8MB?

[quick gust]

maybe size then?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

oh so it cant be over what size?

[cloud dawn]

Anything over 8mb is a nono

[slate swan]

alright, ty

[quick gust]

8mb as panda said ^^

[cloud dawn]

tbf 8mb image is almost 8k lol

[slate swan]

google_crawler.crawl(keyword=keyword, max_num=1, max_size=), do I set 8 or 0.8?

[cloud dawn]

I have no idea what this code is.

Module?

[slate swan]

class Imagine(commands.Cog):
    @commands.slash_command(description="Returning a image with related to the keyword that has been provided")
    async def imagine(self, inter: AppCmdInter, keyword: str):
        google_crawler = GoogleImageCrawler(storage={"root_dir": "C:\\Users\\truth\\Skrivbordet\\bot\\exts\\utils\\imagine_img"})
        google_crawler.crawl(keyword=keyword, max_num=1, max_size=8)

        for name in os.listdir("exts\\utils\\imagine_img"):
            print(name)
            file = disnake.File(f"exts\\utils\\imagine_img\\{name}")

            await inter.response.send_message(file=file)

def setup(bot: Bot) -> None:
    bot.add_cog(Imagine(bot))

[cloud dawn]

I still have no idea what module this is.

[quick gust]

Not sure, set it to 8 if it takes the size in MBs?

[sinful pasture]

OK then, is there a way to have a bot rerun itself?

[slate swan]

lemme try

[cloud dawn]

Most likely it will take KB

[slate swan]

return max(sz1) <= max(sz2) and min(sz1) <= min(sz2)
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

[quick gust]

yeah, no idea though I've never used google crawler

[cloud dawn]

class Imagine(commands.Cog):
    @commands.slash_command(description="Returning a image with related to the keyword that has been provided")
    async def imagine(self, inter: AppCmdInter, keyword: str):
        google_crawler = GoogleImageCrawler(storage={"root_dir": "C:\\Users\\truth\\Skrivbordet\\bot\\exts\\utils\\imagine_img"})
        google_crawler.crawl(keyword=keyword, max_num=1, max_size=8)

        await inter.response.send_message(files=[disnake.File(f"exts\\utils\\imagine_img\\{x}") for x in os.listdir("exts\\utils\\imagine_img")])

def setup(bot: Bot) -> None:
    bot.add_cog(Imagine(bot))

[slate swan]

still gives the same error lol

max_size don't take a int apparently

[cloud dawn]

Is the file over 8mb?

[slate swan]

it can't even download anything atm because of the error

[cloud dawn]

Can you show the module that you are using?

[sinful pasture]

I feel dumb, can't even understand what the error is lol

[slate swan]

from icrawler.builtin import GoogleImageCrawler

[cloud dawn]

!pypi icrawler

[unkempt canyon]

icrawler v0.6.6

A mini framework of image crawlers

[quick gust]

Don't worry, you can share the error and the code

[cloud dawn]

This docs is like solve x in nothing or decrypt the answer lol

[slate swan]

Oh shit i got it working

[upbeat otter]

is that even shitable

[slate swan]

so cute

[upbeat otter]

scary

[cloud dawn]

When it works but you don't know why it works

[upbeat otter]

lol

[slate swan]

google_crawler = GoogleImageCrawler(storage={"root_dir": "C:\\Users\\tisgot20evrsen\\OneDrive - Thorengruppen\\Skrivbordet\\bot\\exts\\utils\\imagine_img"})
        filters = dict(size='medium')
        google_crawler.crawl(keyword=keyword, max_num=1, filters=filters)
``` I did this

[upbeat otter]

same to you

[slate swan]

though the issue here is

if the user searches for porn, a porn image will pop up.

lol

[cloud dawn]

So now every channel officially has to be a NSFW channel.

[upbeat otter]

my bad

[manic wing]

!d discord.TextChannel.nsfw

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.nsfw

If the channel is marked as “not safe for work”.

Note

To check if the channel or the guild of that channel are marked as NSFW, consider is_nsfw() instead.

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.is_nsfw

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.is\_nsfw

@discord.ext.commands.is_nsfw()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that checks if the channel is a NSFW channel.

This check raises a special exception, [`NSFWChannelRequired`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NSFWChannelRequired "discord.ext.commands.NSFWChannelRequired") that is derived from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`NSFWChannelRequired`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NSFWChannelRequired "discord.ext.commands.NSFWChannelRequired") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure"). DM channels will also now pass this check.

[cloud dawn]

Wouldn't work anyways

[unkempt canyon]

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #bot-commands channel instead.

[slate swan]

Im thinking of downloading a file with every possible nsfw word, and use that to see if the keyword the user enters is not there

[manic wing]

or just not care if they send somethign nsfw ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cloud dawn]

This so impossible

[slate swan]

How

if userinput in thelistofnsfwwors:

[cloud dawn]

Yeah but ALL the words is basically impossible like a swear filter it just isn't 100%

The Snowgiving 2021 server has 4400 server boosts lol

[upbeat otter]

oof

[quick gust]

what?

I opened vsc after 12 days

Lol

Anyone know client.guilds.cache.size in python form from js

[manic wing]

its broken

did the same for me

i didnt lol

just ignore it

[normal ginkgo]

#help-burrito OOF

[magic ore]

You're mixing spaces with tabs probably

You can select the spaces and change it manually; tabs and spaces show up differently (spaces show up as dots) a

Or change all indentation to either spaces or tabs (ctrl + shift + p then search for the command)

[quick gust]

nope I tried that

[honest vessel]

[velvet tinsel]

There’s a beautiful errors module, looking to install that

I saw it on Reddit

Awww

[manic wing]

nah

not enough detail

@pliant gulch

how do you subclass after_invoke lol

[visual island]

subclass?

[slate swan]

When someone mentions the bot it should send the prefix, but when someone mentions the bot with text it shouldnt say the prefix how would i stop this from happening

[manic wing]

in bot

[visual island]

do you mean override?

[slate swan]

this is what happens

it will send the command and like it has been mentioned

[manic wing]

same shit different terminology

[slate swan]

would i do if msg.content == "<@id>"?

[manic wing]

yes

[slate swan]

okay ty

ik this is off topic but i just saw this color them extension in vsc its actually really good lol
=> https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kuscamara.electron
very clean ngl

[manic wing]

so you know its off topic but you just decided to say it anyway

[slate swan]

yeah

very colorful lol

[slate swan]

how would i make it so that if it has extra content like eg a command, it wouldnt work

eg. @bot help

[manic wing]

you just do this if msg.content == "<@id>"

[slate swan]

oh ok tysm

[manic wing]

because if they add more shit it wont be equal

[visual island]

just do

bot = commands.Bot(...)

def my_after_invoke(self, coro):
    # do stuff
    bot.after_invoke(coro)

bot.after_invoke = my_after_invoke
``` or
```py
class Bot(commands.Bot):
    def after_invoke(self, coro):
        # do stuff 
        super().after_invoke(coro)
``` this?

[slate swan]

tysm

[manic wing]

its fine i did it in a similar fashion - ```py
class Bot(commands.Bot):
def after_invoke(self, coro):
# do stuff
super().after_invoke(coro)

[visual island]

any error?

[manic wing]

you cant override after_invoke like that

you just cant, no errors

its fine

[pliant gulch]

What exactly are you expecting?

after_invoke only simply, sets the after_invoke method of the bot

[manic wing]

its okay i just looked at the source code and realised it can take coro arg

[slate swan]

how to download libopus DLLs?

or how to know whether an audio file is opus encoded

[tawdry perch]

What is difference when using command.Cog and commands.Bot

[manic wing]

what

[tawdry perch]

Uh.. for cogs you always use commands.Cog, right?

[manic wing]

yeah

[slate swan]

?

[tawdry perch]

Oh I was just curious was this for cogs as well because it was class

But now I got it

[rapid pebble]

is there a way to get a Member object from their id?

thx

[verbal cairn]

datetime.fromtimestamp(int(spec_list[counter][2])).strftime('%d/%m/%Y')

is this the correct way to format unix time to a day month year

spec_list[counter][2] is a string for a unix time stamp

[sick birch]

Yes

[verbal cairn]

it doesnt work

Ignoring exception in slash command 'ahhistory':

[sick birch]

Most likely the timestamp is incorrect

[pine sluice]

how do you make a bot that stores user information in a json file

Ex. @pine sluice have 5 coins, how can I code it so that it can find how much coins I have by accessing the json file and displaying it using a command?

[verbal cairn]

no the timestamp is just a unix number

[sick birch]

Don't store info in a JSON file

[sick birch]

Is it in ms or seconds? Is it a decimal?

[pine sluice]

Use what then?

[verbal cairn]

seconds

[sick birch]

A proper database

[sick birch]

Try it with ms and see if that works

[verbal cairn]

1589095799115

[sick birch]

Yeah that's not right

That maps to 6/11/52326, 5:45:15 AM

[verbal cairn]

what should it be

[sick birch]

It's only 2021, not 52326 haha

It's in ms most likely

[verbal cairn]

oh

[sick birch]

Divide by 1000 and int() it

If you divide it by 1000, you get 5/10/2020, 1:29:59 AM

You can test UNIX timestamps here on discord for example

[verbal cairn]

(int(1589095799115) / 1000) ?

[sick birch]

<t:1589095799:F>

[sick birch]

<t:1589095799115:F>

[slate swan]

:O da future

[sick birch]

Yes about 50,000 years in the future

[sick birch]

Correct

[slate swan]

;-; rn its only <t:1639260727>

[slate swan]

wait how did you do that timestamp

[sick birch]

<t:TIMESTAMP:FORMAT>

[slate swan]

^^^

<t:2021:year>

the timestamp has to be a unix timestamp

[sick birch]

No it's gotta be a UNIX timestamp

[slate swan]

how?

also the format is not like that

[sick birch]

seconds since Jan 1, 1970 I think

the past

bruh

how can I take the time that's right now

[sick birch]

Count

Jk, use this: https://www.epochconverter.com/

[slate swan]

lol

or use a bot 👍

[sick birch]

<t:1638915341:R> for example

It also updates live

[slate swan]

<t:1639260930>

[verbal cairn]

wtf

it did month day year

[sick birch]

Yeah...

[slate swan]

ye that's correct?

[verbal cairn]

no my code

[sick birch]

That's how you do it

[slate swan]

<t:1639261017:F>

[verbal cairn]

but im us bruh

sigh

[sick birch]

that's how it's done in the US too

[slate swan]

smh Americans...

us does month day year

[sick birch]

yeah

[verbal cairn]

strftime('%d/%m/%Y') = month day year yep

[slate swan]

others do in a ascending order: day month year

yes

Europe does Year-month-day

[sick birch]

that's day month year

[verbal cairn]

my code

is doing month day year with that

[slate swan]

descending order

[sick birch]

odd

[slate swan]

i thought eu does ascending lol

[sick birch]

oh wait %d is month

[slate swan]

guess i was wrong

[sick birch]

https://strftime.org/ @verbal cairn

[slate swan]

it's 2021-12-11 for me 🤷

and I live in northern europe

idk ig

all ik is formats are different in other parts of the world lol

[verbal cairn]

%d 08 Day of the month as a zero-padded decimal number.

okok i got it

ty

[placid meadow]

whats the problem?

[slate swan]

So I have a command and I check if the argument provided is falling under the NSFW content (i have made a list of string myself), and if it does I don't wanna send a message but a response to the slash command that it's nsfw content, do u understand what I mean? Like, when u use slash commands I've seen other bots respond in a way but not through a normal message.

[pine sluice]

How do you DM everyone with a bot?

and also how do you DM everyone that is online with a bot?

[slate swan]

You don't, API limits

[pine sluice]

no with a very small private server

Ik you can prob do it using a for loop but idk what to do after that

[sick birch]

Don't think we can help you with that as that's breaking the TOS most likely

mass DM

[manic wing]

fuck it ill help

[sick birch]

I wouldn't

[sick birch]

Not sure about other libraries but in discord.py, it's just interaction.response.send_message()

[manic wing]

!d discord.Guild.members || py for member in guild.members: #where guild is an instance of `discord.Guild` -> can be gotten by `ctx.guild` or `bot.get_guild(guild_id)` if str(member.status) == "online": #checks if they are online with `discord.Member.status` await member.send("Hello") #await discord.abc.Messageable.send -> same as doing `await ctx.send` seeing as they inherit from `discord.abc.Messageable

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.members

property members: List[discord.member.Member]```
A list of members that belong to this guild.

[manic wing]

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status: discord.enums.Status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") instead.

[manic wing]

!d discord.abc.Messageable

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable

class discord.abc.Messageable```
An ABC that details the common operations on a model that can send messages.

The following implement this ABC...

[slate swan]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[manic wing]

@pine sluice all these are links to the docs where you can read more about what I have done here

[manic wing]

he said its a private server so i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt

• if he does this on servers his bot will just get kicked

[slate swan]

It may be used for ToS breaking purposes as we don't know what he's really doing with it. This falls under the rule that was provided:

Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[placid meadow]

can anybody help me?

[slate swan]

Ask your question 🙂

[placid meadow]

so i'm trying to connect to the db but it says connect is undefined , how to define it?

[manic wing]

what module are you using

to connect to your db

sqlite3?

[placid meadow]

sqlite3

[jade tartan]

Hey I got a question when a member agrees to rules on a specific channel how do I make the bot say. (member.mention) role has been added message?

[manic wing]

from sqlite3 import connect

[manic wing]

!d discord.Member.mention || do you have the member instance?

[magic ore]

shouldn't use the sqlite3 library in a bot (it's blocking)
use an async wrapper around it such as asqlite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

property mention: str```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the member.

[placid meadow]

worked thanks

[jade tartan]

Wdym member instance?

[placid meadow]

tho i have a table name blacklisted userids

[manic wing]

do you have your variable with a member stored? like ctx.author or smthin?

[jade tartan]

Nope but I will do that when I get home and get on my computer

[placid meadow]

i don't understand

[slate swan]

Not a python thing afaik

More dpy

But is related to classes

am I dumb or am I dumb

embed = Embed(color=#20d4b7)

🕴️

makes a comment, how tf am I supposed to add color to my embed

ah so the 0x acts like #?

Get the hex color and add 0x to it

bruh why did I get these errors? does it take that long to create a embed lmao

[manic wing]

if you ever want to add the same color to everything just subclass ctx.send or edit discord.Embed source code

be an alpha

[slate swan]

                await inter.response.send_message("NSFW is not allowed in this channel!", ephemeral=True)

this is the code

[placid meadow]

how to define?

[patent bluff]

make a variable

[placid meadow]

how lol

[patent bluff]

What

[manic wing]

by not copy and pasting 😎

[placid meadow]

right.

[manic wing]

right.

im not wrong.

[placid meadow]

nope you're not

alright just for you i'll actually start from scratch

[manic wing]

ty - you've literally got 4 undefined variables

[patent bluff]

i only see 2

[manic wing]

reason db c

[patent bluff]

member is defined

[slate swan]

Why is embed = Embed?

[manic wing]

shit

im tired allow me

[slate swan]

you need to use kwargs for defining the embed if that's what you mean

I fixed it though

[slate swan]

Yes but what are you defining?

[slate swan]

wdym?

[slate swan]

embed = Embed(color=0x20d4b7)

Is a embed object

[slate swan]

Its disnake.Embed since your using the Embed class from disnake

I obv did

from disnake.embeds import Embed

[slate swan]

Imagine🚶

[slate swan]

though I have an issue with sending the embed

        embed = Embed(color=0x20d4b7)
        file_name = ""
        for name in os.listdir("exts\\utils\\imagine_img"):
            file_name += name
            file = disnake.File(f"exts\\utils\\imagine_img\\{name}")
            embed.set_image(file=file)
            file.close()

got no error at all, but it sends a empty embed

and the file path is correct since I tried this without the embed, and it sends the image

[rotund creek]

Whats disnake?

[slate swan]

Dpy fork

[slate swan]

a dpy fork

[rotund creek]

Oh

I still use dpy

[slate swan]

u should switch to a newer fork ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rotund creek]

Nah i gave up with discord api

Im into web dev now

Hit me up if your bot needs a website

[slate swan]

haha I might need a website once the bot is released 🤷

[rotund creek]

Oh ok :)

I forgot I need to make my bot a website

[manic wing]

!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.

[placid meadow]

What am i missing?

[manic wing]

how are we supposed to know lool

[manic wing]

i smell lack of basic python knowledge

learn python

[placid meadow]

literally show me how to learn , all these video are just showing how to make a bot , i want some help on that, even if i copy pasted most of it i modified that thing for over 8 hours straight

[slate swan]

you indent is wrong

also why do you have a blacklist function in a check

[manic wing]

the point is that you dont just jump straight into discord.py - it is moderately advanced, you need to learn the easy basics before proceeding

[manic wing]

🤫

[slate swan]

lmao

[lost wolf]

why is it so hard to make a uptime command in py

[manic wing]

its not.

[lost wolf]

it is

[manic wing]

its extremely easy

[lost wolf]

f"{bot.uptime}" isnt a thing is it?

[slate swan]

no

[manic wing]

you just do bot.launch_time = datetime.datetime.utcnow() and then ```py
@commands.command()
async def uptime(self, ctx:Context):
delta_uptime = datetime.utcnow() - self.bot.launch_time
hours, remainder = divmod(int(delta_uptime.total_seconds()), 3600)
minutes, seconds = divmod(remainder, 60)
days, hours = divmod(hours, 24)

    return await thebed(ctx, '', f"I've been Up since **{days}** Days, **{hours}** Hours, **{minutes}** Minutes, and **{seconds}** Seconds!")

ignore indents fuck discord

[slate swan]

ay thats thw same way i did it

[lost wolf]

oh

thanks

[lost wolf]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: module 'datetime' has no attribute 'utcnow'

[patent bluff]

try from datetime import datetime

[slate swan]

Importing datetime would be good

[lost wolf]

i imported datetime

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'launch_time'

[flat flower]

can someone help me alter my modmail commands so it only allows 1 channel to be opened per person

[potent spear]

shoot

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @flat flower!

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[flat flower]

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

[patent bluff]

yea sometimes I just forget

[slate swan]

Good morning, I am gonna sit in this chat and absorb knowledge

[patent bluff]

ok

[potent spear]

I highly suggest using a db for this stuff, you could also not, but I'd like you to for maybe future code

[flat flower]

What could be a fix?

without needing a db

[slate swan]

Very nice

[potent spear]

you don't want to implement the bad way, always go for the best

[slate swan]

🕴️

[flat flower]

I will

but for now how can I fix this

[potent spear]

best way: add every member to the db that uses the modmail: have a column with a "isAlreadyBusy" boolean thingy in it
if that's true, you can just skip that member
else, create a new modmail

[flat flower]

is it possible without a db

[potent spear]

yes, but that's a bad way
that would be a json as config file, and if your bot would be used in multiple servers it could possibly corrupt your json, you don't want that

[flat flower]

I will switch it over

for now I just need a json file

[potent spear]

don't

do it good first try

[flat flower]

ok

can I use firebase?

[potent spear]

you don't want to do it bad and then rewrite, if you do it good on the first try, you won't have to spend extra time
since if it goes wrong, you'll curse at yourself

no, use an async wrapper of a db

[flat flower]

ok

can you help me set that up

[potent spear]

will your bot be used in multiple guilds?

[flat flower]

It will be used in multiple guilds

for now its still being developed

[potent spear]

asynpg will be the db for you then

*asyncpg

that's an async wrapper of the postgres db

[flat flower]

Ok

Can you help me set it up

[potent spear]

you'll need to learn basic sql after setting up the db ofc

for setting up a db, I'd suggest you to go to the discord py server, that question gets asked daily there

have a step-by-step guide of how you want things to go, you don't want to set up a db and be like "what's next?"

[flat flower]

ok

thank you

[potent spear]

gl!

[slate swan]

How can I make my footer in a embed a link?

How to create on_reaction_add multiple times so that there were no errors?

[slate swan]

emb.set_footer(text=f"text",url=f"url")

[slate swan]

nope wont work in disnake

[slate swan]

disnake?

[slate swan]

yeah it's a new fork to dpy

[slate swan]

Not really new lol

[slate swan]

well maybe not new but it's up-to date

[slate swan]

Correct.

[slate swan]

Explain?

embed.set_footer(text="Redirect to Wikipedia")

this is what I've got, I want the "redirect to wikipedia" to be a link

I tried doing [thingy](link) but that didnt work

Ah

Idk if footers can do that

Hi, what to put in argument allowed_mentions so the bot cannot ping everyone?

[slate swan]

Thats not possible

[slate swan]

They cant

Same with titles

[slate swan]

Yeah i thought so

[slate swan]

Nvm I found out

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=colour#discord.Colour

i cant seem to find yellow

and when i put yellow is also said no such color

Yellow isnt a color

Just use a color hex

yesterday when i did that i got told to make an entire db for a color hex

[slate swan]

default = 0
teal = 0x1abc9c 
dark_teal = 0x11806a
green = 0x2ecc71 
dark_green = 0x1f8b4c
blue = 0x3498db 
dark_blue = 0x206694 
purple = 0x9b59b6 
dark_purple = 0x71368a 
magenta = 0xe91e63
dark_magenta = 0xad1457
gold = 0xf1c40f 
dark_gold = 0xc27c0e 
orange = 0xe67e22 
dark_orange = 0xa84300 
red = 0xe74c3c
dark_red = 0x992d22 
lighter_grey = 0x95a5a6 
dark_grey = 0x607d8b 
light_grey = 0x979c9f

You can .bm if you want

Pretty handy

[slate swan]

there's no yellow

[slate swan]

Try out gold or just find the color hex for yellow

[slate swan]

Then do yellow = 0x00000 and replace 000000 with the hexcode

#FFFF00

[slate swan]

0xEFFF00

Is a bright yellow

is light_yellow a thing

No

Its red grey blurple green

C:\Users\ADMIN\PycharmProjects\Fluxo\main.py:21: SyntaxWarning: 'str' object is not callable; perhaps you missed a comma?
embed = discord.Embed(color='0xEFFF00'())

pls spoon feed me on this part

No need for ()

.red() contains the red hex

Its how that works

[silent lark]

hey I just created a script that is working in my console that will print out what I want, how would I go about putting this into discord. It only needs to print something out every maybe 5 minutes or so

[slate swan]

do u want it to be a command or just constantly do it every 5 minutes in your specified channel

[slate swan]

Remove the ' around it

0x0 is a type of integer

[silent lark]

constantly every 5 minutes to a specific channel

[slate swan]

In particular a hex

anyone know a 6 digit hex to 8 digit hex converter?

faa61a i need to this be 8

[slate swan]

i think you just add two 0s

[slate swan]

at the start or end

end

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'FAA61A00' is not defined

oh wait

its going to be 6 because you forgot to add 0x

should be 0xFAA61A

Ah

[slate swan]

Whys my slash command instantly saying it failed? There is no error and I havent changed something great in my code only changed a variable

Even if that was the error, This Interaction Failed wouldnt instantly show up but after a few seconds

But it instantly shows up

I also restarted the code and also my discord

Weird I added just a random message being sent at the beginning and now it works!?!?!?

But I dont want that second message

Ok now I removed it and it doesnt work again

I dont understand...?

have you tried doing the command with a user by any chance?

What do you mean

whats the command for?

To start a battle

Takes no arguments

Only /battle

ah i see

It worked before

Until I changed a variable which is only for display purposes

hm

what is this var?

It calculates how many gold or xp you get

Before Ive set both to 0

Now its...

xp_gain = enemy.hp / enemy.damage

gold_gain = enemy.damage * random.randint(2,5)

And as you see in the first Image Ive sent it totally works fine

[gaunt wedge]

how do i set category of a command or add a special attribute?

bot.command() # how specify category

i tried using category kwarg

[stark lintel]

how do i make a slash command?

in my discord bot

this is a very basic "test", but it doesn't do anything

as usual, idk what im doing wrong

@slate swan how make slash command work

when you put @client.command(), in parenthesis you can put description='...'

ill show an example

@slate swan

brief is like a shortened version of your full description. description is what shows up when you run !help <command>. For this example, just let the ! be your command prefix

yeah

if you want them to have a description

lmao, idk to be honest

its up to you i guess

NP

[final iron]

Keep the description brief

[stark lintel]

@final iron can you try to help me with my issue

idk how experienced you are

how get this to work

[final iron]

I have only worked with dpy so I wont be able to help

[stark lintel]

oops, wrong thing

[stark lintel]

oh, ok

[astral cobalt]

@client.command()
async def get_meme(ctx):
    print("In here")
    memes_submissions = await reddit.subreddit('memes')
    #memes_submissions = await memes_submissions.hot()
    post_to_pick = random.randint(1, 10)

    submission = next(x for x in memes_submissions if not x.stickied)
    print(submission.url)
    await ctx.send(submission.url)``` Anyone know why this isnt working? Its running but wont return anything when I run !get_meme

[stark lintel]

do you already have a command called coinflip? this error could occur if you have multiple of the same name

[gaunt wedge]

how do i add a special attribute on bot.command()?

[stark lintel]

you should try that, and tell me if it gives you the same error

do you have multiple async def coinflip() commands?

to be honest, im not sure what exactly is causing that error

[gaunt wedge]

dont make multiple commands with the same name

yeah

also, how do i add a special attribute to a command in bot.command()

[astral cobalt]

I should be using asyncpraw for a discord bot that gets reddit posts correct?

[boreal ravine]

edit the source code

[boreal ravine]

yes

[boreal ravine]

just say multiple commands? why say async def?

[magic ore]

Subclass commands.Command and set the cls kwarg to the subclass in the command deco

Override the init of the command class to set the attribute (remember to super init, though)

[boreal ravine]

whats wrong?

[stark lintel]

so basically...

im trying to make a slash command, and its not necessarily triggering any errors, more or less its just flat out not working

[boreal ravine]

what lib are you using

[stark lintel]

here, ill send a screenshot of the libs that go with the slash commands...give me one sec

[astral cobalt]

@boreal ravine could you take a look at this and see if you can see anything wrong with it? ```py
reddit = asyncpraw.Reddit(
user_agent="Hello There)",
client_id="CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="CLIENT_SECRET",
username="USERNAME",
password="PASSWORD",
)

@client.command()
async def get_meme(ctx):
print("In here")
memes_submissions = await reddit.subreddit('memes')
#memes_submissions = await memes_submissions.hot()
post_to_pick = random.randint(1, 10)
for i in range(0, post_to_pick):
submission = next(x for x in memes_submissions if not x.stickied)
print(submission.url)
await ctx.send(submission.url)```

[stark lintel]

@boreal ravine

[boreal ravine]

show me the slash commans

[stark lintel]

this is the only one ive attempted so far

[boreal ravine]

No idea, haven't really used asyncpraw before. Are there any errors

[boreal ravine]

do you have application commands scopes in your bot?

[stark lintel]

no, how would i set those

[astral cobalt]

@boreal ravine None, it just wont return a reddit post back to discord. Doesent throw any errors

[boreal ravine]

developer portal > ur bot

[stark lintel]

ok, im there

[gaunt wedge]

ok

[stark lintel]

now where

[boreal ravine]

try printing memes_submissions

[boreal ravine]

where you click the bot scope, click the application commands scope then re-invite your bot

[gaunt wedge]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command

class discord.ext.commands.Command(*args, **kwargs)```
A class that implements the protocol for a bot text command.

These are not created manually, instead they are created via the decorator or functional interface.

[stark lintel]

is it the thing that says bot permissions? @boreal ravine

[boreal ravine]

try it and see

[stark lintel]

ok, let me do that...

should i set the thing to administrator?

[boreal ravine]

no

[boreal ravine]

^

enable it the same place you enabled the bot scope for your bot

[stark lintel]

OHHHHHHH

can i send a screenshot and you tell me what to put a check on?

[astral cobalt]

@boreal ravine It just returns "memes"

[stark lintel]

@boreal ravine the slash command still isn't showing up

[boreal ravine]

sure

[boreal ravine]

show me what it prints

[astral cobalt]

Memes submission: memes

[boreal ravine]

that's the permissions

I mean the scopes
