[manic wing]

ill go through it here and explain as best as possible

[devout iris]

actually a live support

[manic wing]

yeah my bot has that

[silver iris]

I’m trying to make my discord command display my json data

[slate swan]

await ctx.send(json_data)

[silver iris]

@slate swan hi thanks my issue is it sends all the json data including the syntax

[slate swan]

await ctx.send(json_data["keyYouWant"])

[devout iris]

...

it's been 9 minutes, you are determined 😄

[silver iris]

I feel like an idiot

[manic wing]

Making a userphone command where one can interact from server to server

**-- Planning -- **
You need:
---> two instances of discord.TextChannel to send and receive the output. These can be gotten by bot.get_channel. We can name these channels x being the server the command was invoked in, and y being the support channel.
---> an on_message to listen for messages sent in channel x and y
---> a db for the on_message to check for. For this i'm going to use json
--> a command to append data to the database

-- Writing --
The on_message may look something like this: ```py
async def support_on_message(message):
data = fetch_data_from_db() #data should be the 2 channel ids. lets pretend its a tuple like (id_1, id_2)
if message.channel.id not in data:
return #we dont care, it hasnt come from one of our support channels

if message.channel.id == data[0]: #id_1
channel = bot.get_channel(data[1]) #get the alternate channel the message
elif message.channel.id != data[0]: #must be id_2
channel = bot.get_channel(data[0])
await channel.send(message.content)

#this pretty much wraps up the one on one support channel stuff. However, it gets more complicated with multiple channelsThe `command` just appends data to the db:py
async def support_channel(ctx):
db = fetch_db()
db.append_data()

eh that took too long to write, i made a couple mistakes while writing it

https://github.com/CaedenPH/JesterBot/blob/main/cogs/Feedback.py#L30

[unkempt canyon]

cogs/Feedback.py line 30

@commands.command(aliases=['dial', 'call', 'assistance'])```

[manic wing]

I wrote this using json and a while ago, its not the best but its a nice little starter

[silver iris]

thank you i will take a look

[devout iris]

Thank you for your effort, but how can I do without a database with only 2 channel id's? I know it's a simple thing but I can't think of it right now

[manic wing]

are the id's set?

(will the ids ever change)

[devout iris]

no, it will be fixed

[opal dirge]

Hey so I would like to start making discord bots in py but im having an issue with finding all the resource materials on how to start (like all the functions and stuff like that) could someone please show me where i can find these?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @gloomy ferry! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[manic wing]

prob just make an on_message, check if the id is in either of the channels, and if it is just send the message to the channel with the other id

[gloomy ferry]

Hi i keep getting the same error code with cogs, idk what ive done wrong https://paste.pythondiscord.com/emezofagox.py
My bot.pypy bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", intent=intents) for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'): if filename.endswith('.py'): bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}') bot.run("token blabla")

you need to have self infront of all

@manic wing

[manic wing]

...

put self as an argument in all the functions

and dont do shit outside the functions

[slate swan]

Well this is a great tutorial -> https://vcokltfre.dev/ but you will need oop and asynchronous programming knowledge best of luck

[gloomy ferry]

i dont understand sorry

[opal dirge]

thank you!

[final iron]

Also this

    @commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
    # Put this into the category it should be cuz idk the category

    
    async def on_member_join(member):
        embed=discord.Embed(title="Welcome", description=(f'Welcome {member} to the Regal Community!'), color=self.color)
        channel = self.bot.get_channel(869302384004837377)
        await channel.send(embed=embed)

[gloomy ferry]

hm

[final iron]

Thats not going to work

[gloomy ferry]

why?

[final iron]

Theres no event decorator and there is a permission requirement on an event

[gloomy ferry]

no event decorator in cogs

[final iron]

There is

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener

classmethod listener(name=...)```
A decorator that marks a function as a listener.

This is the cog equivalent of [`Bot.listen()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen "discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen").

[gloomy ferry]

ohh yeah

[dire folio]

how would i store the contents of a variable in a sqlite db

[final iron]

Seems more like a question for #databases

[dire folio]

did not realise there was one ty

[gloomy ferry]

you are a life saver

WAIT

NOOOOOOOO

i give up, thank you mate. i need some sleep

[final iron]

Alright

[slate swan]

Traceback (most recent call last):

ignore that

remove the :discord.Context

some reason ive linked context to discord

[final iron]

Is it not commands.Context?

[manic wing]

yeah but i wired my brain the wrong way

[slate swan]

works

i am using pycord yk

[manic wing]

cough bad

[slate swan]

why

[manic wing]

disnake

purely because i love EUQENOS

[slate swan]

ok, thats your choice

[final iron]

pycord might be objectively bad compared to the others but I don't have a lot of knowledge about forks

[manic wing]

sorry for instigating a disagreement

[slate swan]

Your welcome!

[craggy cloak]

I made a Requirements.txt file in my bot should i import that file in the main.py file?

[manic wing]

requirements.txt is the naming convention

[manic wing]

why would you import it? its purely if you want to install modules

pip install -r requirements.txt

[craggy cloak]

Ok so it is ok now

[sage otter]

All of them are pretty trash. Disnake I heard is there only bearable one. Seems to be what everyone else uses here as well.

I myself wouldn’t really know. Personally I will continue to use Danny's repo until a breaking change occurs. And full swap to Novus.

[magic ore]

I don't know much about disnake but it changed the import which isn't a good change

[manic wing]

!pypi novus

[unkempt canyon]

novus v0.0.4

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[manic wing]

lol you just want this syntax

https://novus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html

crap

it copied the wrong thing

https://novus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#send-components

i dont blame you

subclassing them is cancerous

[slate swan]

can i do?

if tuple in message.content:

[manic wing]

no

for index in tuple: if index in message.content

[slate swan]

yeah seems weird to me

[pliant gulch]

It's the other way around

[manic wing]

!d any

[pliant gulch]

If message.content in tuple

[unkempt canyon]

any

any(iterable)```
Return `True` if any element of the *iterable* is true. If the iterable is empty, return `False`. Equivalent to:

```py
def any(iterable):
    for element in iterable:
        if element:
            return True
    return False

[manic wing]

nah he wants it like that

[slate swan]

really?

why is that so?

[manic wing]

he prob has a list of filtered words or smthing

[slate swan]

yes🚶

[pliant gulch]

So why wouldn't what I sent work as well?

[manic wing]

if any(k for k in tuple if k in message.content)

[manic wing]

he wants to check if words are in a string…not if a string is in a word

[pliant gulch]

But your not checking words...

Your iterating for each character in the example you sent lol

🤔

[slate swan]

so why so?

[manic wing]

im checking for each index in the tuple if its in the message.content

for k in tuple

[pliant gulch]

That just sounds dumb

[manic wing]

no…

[pliant gulch]

any(word in tuple_ for word in message.content.split())

This would actually, get the words of the message's content

Not each character..

!e ```py
string = "ABCDEFG"
for k in string:
print(k)

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | A
002 | B
003 | C
004 | D
005 | E
006 | F
007 | G

[manic wing]

pls reread my logic, im on mobile and i cba to get out-typed when im making better points

[pliant gulch]

Your logic still doesn't make sense after rereading 4 times

It wouldn't work like expected anyhow,

[manic wing]

gimme 2 min to get on my pc

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
string = "grass"
if "ass" in string:
print("yes")

[unkempt canyon]

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

yes

[pliant gulch]

E.g ^^^

[manic wing]

ok

so

[manic wing]

this would trigger the same in your method

[pliant gulch]

No it wouldnt

I split the content into tokens

Oh wait nevermind, were using in

Just replace with equality operator

[manic wing]

this is valid, however what you said about message.content in tuple wouldnt work... you have a tuple of 'fuck', 'shit' and the sentance is 'hello fuck'...think it over

[magic ore]

@pliant gulch https://github.com/an-dyy/Lefi/blob/master/examples/example_bot.py#L18
It would probably make more sense if you use the parameter provided to get the bots id
Also, I'd recommend not hardcoding any ids in examples (https://github.com/an-dyy/Lefi/blob/master/examples/example_bot.py#L49)

[unkempt canyon]

examples/example_bot.py line 18

print(f"[LOGGED IN]: {bot.user.id}")```
`examples/example_bot.py` line 49
```py
@commands.check(lambda ctx: ctx.author.id == 270700034985558017)```

[manic wing]

yeah you used in which makes it the same

also it being == would mean fucky or fuck. wouldnt get removed

its all pretty shambolic before regex

[pliant gulch]

split() would split "hello fuck" into ["hello", "fuck"]

[pliant gulch]

That's why you would add fuzzy searching/Can add fuzzy searching

[manic wing]

yeah but .split returns a list...and a) you cant put list in tuple and b) you didnt say that

[pliant gulch]

You iterate through each element...

[manic wing]

🤦

[manic wing]

you didnt say that

you realise we're going in circles because of miscomunication

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
string = "hello fuck"
tuple_ = ("fuck",)

if [word in tuple_ for word in string.split()]:
print("yes")

[unkempt canyon]

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

yes

[manic wing]

yes but did you say that...

[slate swan]

@pliant gulch thx it works but why so?

[manic wing]

!e ```py
string = "hello class gentleman"
tuple_ = ("ass",)

if [word in tuple_ for word == string.split()]:
print("yes")

[unkempt canyon]

@manic wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

yes

[pliant gulch]

Yes I quite clearly did in my example

[pliant gulch]

[pliant gulch]

That is right, I guess it's just an old discord.py habbit

I plan on deprecating that parameter anyhow

[slate swan]

pls explain🥲

[pliant gulch]

Just like how checking if an element is in a list, if a key is in a dict, etc

[slate swan]

so i was doing:

if list in msg:

[manic wing]

the first thing you said was message.content in tuple. after 4 minutes goes by, then you decide to show the example

[magic ore]

👍

[pliant gulch]

Try saying it outloud

If a list, E.g [1, 2] is inside of a string

That doesn't make much sense now does it

[slate swan]

correct

[pliant gulch]

Now try to say the opposite, if 1 is inside of [1, 2]

Now does that make sense?

[slate swan]

yes

[pliant gulch]

What do you think about the examples btw?

[slate swan]

thank you lol

[pliant gulch]

Because that was the issue they were facing

They did it the other way around

At the time, I had ZERO context it was a filtering system

[manic wing]

any(word in tuple_ for word in message.content.split())
this is extremely fucking different from
if message.content in tuple

[pliant gulch]

This was their first messsage

[pliant gulch]

Context, context, context

The english language heavily relies on it

[manic wing]

i didnt know either

i just assumed - i also said the if any thing 2 minutes before you, but the only thing i didnt add was a .split and apparently 'that sounds dumb'

[pliant gulch]

Because logically speaking, what you did was checking if any of the characters were inside of a tuple

[silver iris]

I’m back anyone free to help with my json/discord bot

[manic wing]

no, i itered through the tuple not the message.content…

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[slate swan]

i hate you, i had an long text and you deleted it

[magic ore]

i think they're fine, but i haven't used the library before. small nitpick though, i don't think the example_ prefixes in the files in the examples directory is necessary

[manic wing]

@pliant gulch

[pliant gulch]

Ok, rereading again I see I have mixed the two up

[slate swan]

@manic wing hey, i thought you can help me with my bot.

I have an issue that my bot's loading can take up to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes i get on_ready event.

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/xelawodifu.py - dont mind my shitty code

[pliant gulch]

This still would fire off when not expected to anyhow

[pliant gulch]

Ah, I read a styleguide somewhere that this was convention, I guess not; not a huge deal though

[magic ore]

it might be, i'm not sure. but yeah it definitely is not a big deal

[manic wing]

i agree, adding the .split and changing to equality is recommended, i chose not to over complicate it. anyway

[manic wing]

er ill help tommorow, im about to go to sleep

ill chuck in a pull request for the hell of it

[slate swan]

me too, just dm me

[manic wing]

im an idiot, i thought that was a github link…can i blame mobile coding? dont think so

[silver iris]

#help-burrito

[lost wolf]

discord.Intents.all() isnt a thing anymore?

[slate swan]

it is a thing its just discord doesnt have an attr with it because its:

intents = Intents.all()

[lost wolf]

oh alright

[slate swan]

Yep

[lost wolf]

thanks

[slate swan]

Anytime!

[lost wolf]

do i have to do like

from discord import Intents or something?

[slate swan]

you are correct

[slate swan]

from discord import Intents

[lost wolf]

alright

[slate swan]

yep

[lost wolf]

may i ask what could cause this?

[slate swan]

cause what?

[lost wolf]

this

[slate swan]

weird idk

never encountered such an error

[wicked atlas]

What library do you have installed, discord.py?

[lost wolf]

discord and dpy

[wicked atlas]

?

[lost wolf]

discord and discord.py

[wicked atlas]

I would suggest reinstalling discord.py

[lost wolf]

ok i fixed it

[wicked atlas]

the discord package is just a mirror of discord.py, so you don't need to install that

[ruby lion]

hello I would like to create a server... based off on python development and mainly advertising... so it is compulsory to have a custom discord bot set up rather than already built-in bots... ??

hello?

[dusky pine]

uh

it'd be ironic if you didn't create your own bot

[ruby lion]

hmmmm ok... but some built in function doesn't seem to work... though...

[dusky pine]

hwat is it

[ruby lion]

the verify system...

[dusky pine]

you can just invite some other verify bots

like wick

you probably haven't set up the permissions for them yet

[ruby lion]

umm no.. it is the problem with my code.. My friends also have the same problem... we searched up youtube and wrote this code... but it isn't working...

[slate swan]

What about it?

[ruby lion]

it is showing some kind of error... and my friends also have the same issue...

[slate swan]

Glad to solve it if i can

[ruby lion]

I asked my tutor too, but he can't help with that...

[slate swan]

You could send it here theirs allot of knowledgeable people

[ruby lion]

hmmm yeah... I will share the code...

[sick birch]

Can you elaborate on what the issue is? What exactly is the problem what error are you getting? Can you provide full traceback? Can you provide full code? What is it supposed to do? These are all important questions for others to help determine what the bug is and troubleshoot it and help you fix it

[zenith hare]

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

[slate swan]

invite is None

[zenith hare]

code here:

[slate swan]

Idk about invites but invite is none lol

[zenith hare]

currently saves the invitations in the bot's cache, is there any way to make it more effective?

[slate swan]

Wish i could help but ive never done it before

[small igloo]

help ....

[slate swan]

Full tb

[small igloo]

tb?

bruh lag, wait

[slate swan]

Alr

[small igloo]

when did u change pfp btw

[slate swan]

Like 10 hours ago maybe

[kindred epoch]

how do i use wait_for multiple times?

[small igloo]

ok, that error done.. NOW THIS ERROR

[small igloo]

oh lol, kk

[slate swan]

Your token is none

[small igloo]

||imma regenerate token after this|| what the hell is this then ;-;

[final iron]

brah

Change your token

Right now

[slate swan]

Your supposed to get a var from an env file

[small igloo]

🙂 ...?

[slate swan]

Your using vsc?

[final iron]

pycharm

[slate swan]

Oh my bad

[small igloo]

no, pycharm

[kindred epoch]

anyone?

[slate swan]

Well no need for it since pycharm afaik is not public

[final iron]

Pycharm projects are not public. Just put the token in the bot.run() like a normal person

[small igloo]

oh ok

[slate swan]

bot.run("token1234567890")

[small igloo]

(so i can remove os.getenv?)

[final iron]

Yes

[small igloo]

k, thanks

[slate swan]

Your welcome

[small igloo]

yayy finnaly it works, thanks @slate swan @final iron

dotenv remove?

[slate swan]

My plesure

[slate swan]

@small igloo like this^

[small igloo]

yee, but can i remove this?
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()]

[slate swan]

Yes ofc

[small igloo]

yayy ok thanks again xd

[slate swan]

Always

[final iron]

[jade tartan]

I need help making a warn command. can someone help?

cuz am only getting json not py

[sick birch]

Don't use json for warn command

[small igloo]

sup robin

[sick birch]

It's best stored in a database, something like this:

WARN_ID  USER_ID  MOD_ID  REASON
1234     1234     1234    Breaking the rules

If you're using relational of course

[slate swan]

[jade tartan]

i wont

[slate swan]

Sql is easy to learn

[sick birch]

Very

[jade tartan]

Can i use ur warn command @sick birch

[sick birch]

Sure though it's done using SQL

[slate swan]

Been learning it from -> https://sqlbolt.com/

Really good

[sick birch]

you can find my github linked on my profile. i wouldn't really use my bot's repo as like a resource though but it might be a decent starting place

[slate swan]

My strategy is after i learn to a certain part i stop until the next day and start from zero until i get more pages done then the day before

[sick birch]

you can take a peek at how i have mine structured and go from there

[small igloo]

where...?

[slate swan]

His github is linked to his discord account

[sick birch]

linked on my discord profile

[slate swan]

lol

[sick birch]

i can't stress enough not to use it as a resource though

only as a starting place or to get some sort of idea on how to structure things

[small igloo]

ow ok

[slate swan]

dont be so harsh on yourself

[sick birch]

i mean i did spend a long time working on the bot, talked to a lot of experienced people and tried to implement the best practices but i still can't say it's the best

[slate swan]

Everybody has their weaknesses

[jade tartan]

relatebale

[sick birch]

goes double for me lmao

[slate swan]

Mine is probably dbs but im learning more about them

Slowly but deeply so i will have no weakness

[sick birch]

goals 👍

[slate swan]

Yep

[jade tartan]

Wheres ur warn cmd on your github profile?

[slate swan]

After i learn sql and i can use postgres easily i will be learning js and then something else idk i have allot of goals

[pliant gulch]

The hardest part about using postgres for me was actually setting up the database lmao

[jade tartan]

@sick birch

[slate swan]

I installed it for the first time i had zero knowledge and i uninstalled it because it was so complicated but now i will learn sql and take it slowly

[sick birch]

let me check

[jade tartan]

k

[sick birch]

/cogs/moderation.py

line 16

[pliant gulch]

For me it's not that its complicated

I just can't be bothered to setup a new database, etc

[slate swan]

Oh lol

[pliant gulch]

But if I ever wanted to I can just use my old schema.sql I usually use

And that would automatically setup the database once the manual labour is over

[slate swan]

Postgres asked for a port idk why

Why does it need a port?

[pliant gulch]

Because its a database server

[slate swan]

Still confused if a db is a file or a server

😭

[sick birch]

can be both

[slate swan]

Ah i see

[sick birch]

sqlite is a file, MySQL is a server

very basic explanation

[slate swan]

Why a server?

[sick birch]

Sometimes you can't just have a single file that has all of your database stuff on it

It's not the best for scaling

[slate swan]

Ah alr

[sick birch]

You can have multiple database servers that manage a single general "database"

kind of like discord bot sharding

[slate swan]

Mhmmm

[sick birch]

Discord uses apache cassandra and they do this due to the massive amount of data they have to store

[slate swan]

Ah i see

[primal cliff]

How can we code bots like ban, mute or kick

[slate swan]

Wdym like the coro?

[sick birch]

the library has built in functions for banning and kicking

[pliant gulch]

I thought discord was using Scylla db

[sick birch]

Nah

They use cassandra

[pliant gulch]

They haven't migrated?

[sick birch]

https://discord.com/blog/how-discord-stores-billions-of-messages

[primal cliff]

Like if mods type a certain command and ping someone it will ban, kick, mute the guy that mod ping

[pliant gulch]

This article was published in 2017

[sick birch]

Fair enough

Though I don't think they'd switch yet again from a fair good database

[slate swan]

What specifically are you looking for?

[pliant gulch]

https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2020/07/22/2065978/0/en/Discord-Chooses-Scylla-as-Its-Core-Storage-Layer.html#:~:text=PALO ALTO%2C Calif.%2C July,the Scylla Enterprise NoSQL database.

[sick birch]

Cassandra is very flexible and can scale very well, I don't think they'd switch in a span of a few years

Or not haha

[primal cliff]

How to code ban, kick and mute

[sick birch]

What does it mean by "fully compatiblee with Apache cassandra"?

[sick birch]

Ban a member:

await member.ban()

Kick a member:

await member.kick()

Muting requires some extra logic

[slate swan]

And youll need a permissions decorator

[pliant gulch]

Means discord won't need to do changes for the same code to work, at least that's what I think

[primal cliff]

Oh ok

[pliant gulch]

Probably like a plug it and it works type thing

[primal cliff]

Ye also how do we do tht

[sick birch]

"Explore using Scylla, a Cassandra compatible database written in C++. During normal operations our Cassandra nodes are actually not using too much CPU, however at non peak hours when we run repairs (an anti-entropy process) they become fairly CPU bound and the duration increases with the amount of data written since the last repair. Scylla advertises significantly lower repair times." listed as a long term goal, so I think you're right

[slate swan]

@commands.has_permissions(administator=True)

[jade tartan]

async def warn(ctx,  member : discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await member.warn(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f'Warned {member.mention}')``` Can this work?

[sick birch]

Warning is a not a native discord feature

You'll have to implement the logic and storing of it yourself

[slate swan]

Theirs no such thing as a warn attr with member

[sick birch]

You're going to need a database for this. A warn command without a database doesn't serve much functionality

[primal cliff]

Like this
`if message.content.startswith(j! ban):
await member.ban(What do we put here)

[pliant gulch]

Wouldn't be surprised if later on discord adds a "warn" feature, they've been adding a lot more stuff that bots usually do for a server nowadays

[sick birch]

Would be nice, yeah

[slate swan]

No you'll have to use a arg and type hint it to a member object

[sick birch]

This is pre-rewrite, use the command extension

[pliant gulch]

Would be nice, but I would also very much enjoy for them to add an endpoint if they do add such a feature

Easier interface, easier overall

[primal cliff]

Can you do the full thing for me I am not good at coding

[sick birch]

Yep, discord for the time being has very little native moderation tools

[sick birch]

No.

[primal cliff]

ok

[sick birch]

We don't provide code to people, we help them learn

You should get acquainted with Python first before attempting the library. It's not a beginner's library, and it has some advanced concepts such as ayncio.

[slate swan]

Sorry i will not do such a thing as i encourage people to work hard and learn by themselves

[sick birch]

^

[primal cliff]

ok

[slate swan]

Best of luck to you

[sick birch]

What you may be looking for is commissions, where you pay people to write a bot for you. However this is not within the scope of the server and you'll have to do that somewhere else

[primal cliff]

But I dont understand to much the await member.ban() But what do we put in the brackets

[slate swan]

And is against rules of this server

[sick birch]

Refer to the documentation

And learn a good bit of python first

It seems you're completely new to the language and I'd strongly recommend against jumping in head first with discord.py as a beginner

[slate swan]

You will type hint an arg which is member as a discord member so it will be a member object and with that arg you will use the ban attr which the member obj has

[slate swan]

Mostly learn about oop and asynchronous programming

[sick birch]

Exactly

Documentation-reading skills are also very important

You'd be surprised how many people come here asking questions which can be solved within seconds with a quick documentation search haha

[slate swan]

I was like you but i go against it since i had allot of hard times which i dont recommend

[slate swan]

Many,its scary at some points

[sick birch]

You're only going to lose interest in it, and having a bad time as a first time programmer will make you stay away from programming in general

First impressions matter

[pliant gulch]

People who learnt haskell as their first lang

[slate swan]

Sad how many people have quit due to that reason

[pliant gulch]

APL*

[sick birch]

It really is

And it's not something you can easily fix either

[slate swan]

I never quit since i love what i do and i put all my passion to what i do

[sick birch]

It can keep a person from enjoying programming for life

[slate swan]

The sad truth

[steep drift]

hey I have a script that has an error

I don't think its a discord bot though

[slate swan]

Your welcome to send it

[steep drift]

k

[slate swan]

If its ofc related to the channels topic

[sick birch]

I suppose you can send it here and we'll take a look

Actually no

[steep drift]

k

[slate swan]

or #❓｜how-to-get-help exists

[steep drift]

oh

[sick birch]

There are plenty of other channels on the left, find one that suits it

[pliant gulch]

Try APL then, I bet you will quit after a few days 👀

[steep drift]

okay bc this is most active but ty @slate swan I will take a look there

[slate swan]

Depends on the problems relation and what channel suites it best

[steep drift]

k

[slate swan]

Whats that?

[pliant gulch]

A programming language

That uses greek symbols

[sick birch]

Is that the acronym or...?

[slate swan]

Never heard of it

[pliant gulch]

Google it

[slate swan]

mm cause this channel includes discussions etc too , whereas those channels are meant for help specifically

[sick birch]

A programming language? APL?

haha

[slate swan]

Indeed very confused

[steep drift]

k

[steep drift]

lol

[sick birch]

I wonder if you can write discord bots in assembly

[slate swan]

Syntax looks like its from an alien specie

[pliant gulch]

If you want to write enough lines to make your own operating system sure, you could

[sick birch]

I mean making a discord bot is really just interacting with their servers and manipulating data

So i suppose you can send instructions to the NIC and whatnot

[slate swan]

You can say that

[pliant gulch]

Don't even need to manipulate data

Just communicate with the API and do nothing else

🧠

[slate swan]

Yup

[sick birch]

Then you'd just have to instruct the NIC card

[slate swan]

Pure instructions

[pliant gulch]

I'd assume you'd also be able to connect to the gateway via the network adaptor card as well

[sick birch]

right

i'll have to try it sometime...

and put myself through hell

Can we see the actual error?

[slate swan]

I have zero idea how to even start a os lol

[sick birch]

You can edit the linux kernel on your own if you know what you're doing

Oh yikes replit

Can we see the code?

I think I know what the issue is

Lot of people run into this from my experience

[slate swan]

No need for any

Are you trying to make a filter?

[sick birch]

Ah there's the issue

you can't msg from inside

when it's defined on the outside

Python scoping is finicky like that

Also use the rewrite version

The better way to write commands

You're using a really old method

Makes sense

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

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.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

[sick birch]

avoid following youtube tutorials or stackoverflow posts especially for discord.py

they get outdated really fast and teach you some bad habits

[slate swan]

The bot framework is better for commands

[sick birch]

The documentation and examples on github

Also asking questions here where people are more than happy to help

[pliant gulch]

https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/ <- a fine written tutorial

[sick birch]

I've seen this one suggested a lot, it's worth giving a read

I see

Probably going to need a database for that

[slate swan]

Yep

[pliant gulch]

Premium, I smell mee6

[sick birch]

That keeps track of how many messages each person has

[slate swan]

You can smell it across the room

[pliant gulch]

Man, message counters are kinda limbo to me tbh

[slate swan]

Most bots have premium now

[pliant gulch]

Its easy to do, but if your using a service, cough such as repl.it

[sick birch]

Thing about message counters is they don’t scale very well

[pliant gulch]

Your gonna have gaps in your data

[sick birch]

Definitely

[pliant gulch]

Due to some downtimes, etc

[sick birch]

You should stay away from replit

[slate swan]

About to add a premium version of my bot

[sick birch]

It’s globally agreed on that its garbage haha

[sick birch]

Don’t be tempted by the dark side

Not really it’s quite a computationally expensive process

[slate swan]

I hear my wallet saying "do it"

[sick birch]

Unless you update the database on message event

[pliant gulch]

Tbh, depends on how active the user is

[sick birch]

The wallet lies

[slate swan]

Its too strong

[sick birch]

Programming in a nut shell

[pliant gulch]

The endpoint which gets the message history of a user or a channel has a max limit of 100 messages at a time, iir

Each of those is one request

[sick birch]

Then you have to loop over each message

Better to just do on_message

[pliant gulch]

If the user has like 15k messages, thats a lot of requests

You'd be ratelimited

[sick birch]

Gonna get rate limited

Yep

[pliant gulch]

I would go for a different approach, rather then message count levelling is much more tangible to me

[sick birch]

Even then it’s quite difficult unless you have some sort of intermediate caching like Redis

on_message

If message is from user, add 1 to that users message count

You’ll need some sort of data storage method that isn’t json

The amount of people that try to use json as a db from online tutorials drives me up the wall

[pliant gulch]

How would you even interface between repl.it and your localhost

[sick birch]

you don't

unless you port forward

sure with something like sqlite

please do

repl.it is globally agreed on to be trash

[pliant gulch]

port forwarding on something like repl.it

Yikes

[sick birch]

nah i mean locally

port forward like an sql server or something like that

unsafe though

[pliant gulch]

So you'd make an ngrok tunnel on the same port as your database server

Pass that https IP to repl.it

[sick birch]

Or you know

don't use replit

[slate swan]

Im probably gonna leave or maybe comeback because i have a headache but see you guys have a great day

[pliant gulch]

Never said to use repl.it kek

[sick birch]

Later, hope you get well soon

[slate swan]

Thank you Good night

Sqlite is a database

And youll need to learn the language SQL as sqlite uses the language to manipulate data

[pliant gulch]

Just to be clear, where exactly are you hosting its repl.it right?

Because if it is, sqlite won't work

[slate swan]

Most things are free unless hosting

[pliant gulch]

Do some googling, you should be able to fine one. Just make sure they don't use an ephemeral file system like repl.it

Because file changes will be reset after

And sqlite writes to a file

[slate swan]

Ok bye

[upbeat otter]

best of luck

[sick birch]

It's not your fault, 99% of tutorials on this subject are terrible

Many people make the same mistake, it's not just you don't worry

vscode is awesome

Sublime is another one

PyCharm also works

[proper acorn]

Why i cant client.run and bot.run in same file

[sick birch]

because you shouldn't have client and bot at the same time

[proper acorn]

So, how i can put client and bot for my discord bot?

[sick birch]

You don't

pick one and stick with it

[proper acorn]

:((

[sick birch]

preferable bot since it's more advanced

[proper acorn]

I cant right?

[sick birch]

bot is a subclass of client, so it does everything client can with more

why would you want both

[proper acorn]

Bro, i want to do some event with client

[cobalt jacinth]

Does discord bot become slower as more server are added ?

[proper acorn]

Bot cant do the

Kick member, ban member

[sick birch]

bot can do that

[proper acorn]

How?

[sick birch]

member.ban()

member.kick()

[cobalt jacinth]

Pls help

[sick birch]

That's why sharding exists

[cobalt jacinth]

What's the limit

[sick birch]

about 2000 then you make a new shard

[cobalt jacinth]

Like how many servers till it's about time

[sick birch]

don't take my word for it

[cobalt jacinth]

Kk mine is 10 server😂

[proper acorn]

Put the mention ID in () right?

I meant

mention of member

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

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

[maiden fable]

@sick birch do u know about overloading?

[slate swan]

When one channels position moves why does it make all of them move? In the sense in the channel_update position if one of the channels is moved it logs all of them as a channel moved

[sick birch]

I do

[sick birch]

no

you don't have to put anything in it

[maiden fable]

Because other channels adjust themselves according to the moved channel?

[sick birch]

yeah when you move a channel up the other channels move down to make space

[slate swan]

Oh This is getting more complex than I thought

[weary gale]

how can i add text at the end of this?
avEmbed.add_field(name={user.name}

like {user.name}'s avatar

[sick birch]

f-strings

[maiden fable]

So my problem is... I have a paginator, which accepts Interaction as a param. But when I supply it Context, it doesn't work cz I am doing inter.target but ctx doesn't have a target attr... Sooo is there a way, that with overload, I can supply different type of code for a different overload or something?

[weary gale]

{user.name}f"??"

like that?

[sick birch]

!e

favNumber = 7
print(f"My favourite number is {favNumber}")

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

My favourite number is 7

[sick birch]

like so

[sick birch]

I don't think you get what overloading is

You're probably looking for a custom context

[weary gale]

ohh

thx

[slate swan]

So here is my code ( I know if statements are v nested)

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_guild_channel_update(self,before,after):
        disabled = await self.coll.find_one({"Enabled": "False"})
        check = await self.coll.find_one({"Moved": before.id})
        if check:
            await self.coll.delete_one(check)
            print("Deleted because yes")
            return
        else:
            if disabled:
                print ("Disabled")
                return
            else:
                if before.position == after.position:
                    print("Position didnt change")
                    return
                else:
                    print(before.position)
                    print(after.position)
                    await self.coll.insert_one({"Moved": after.id})
                    await after.edit(position = before.position, reason = "Channel moved when lock was enabled")

I am trying to create a channel lock so that when a channel accidentally is moved the bot fixes it itself. However since 1 channel moves all in a 200 channel server the db inserts and deletes are using too much memory.. it works but its very slow and inefficient

[maiden fable]

Well I don't wanna modify the behavior when an Interaction is passed to the init. I just want it to behave differently for when Context is passed... I'll have to use isinstance?

[weary gale]

@sick birch
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: add_field() takes 1 positional argument but 2 positional arguments (and 1 keyword-only argument) were given

  def __init__(self, num):
    self.num = num
  def __gt__(self, other):
    return self.num > other
  def __lt__(self, other):

num1 = numberWrapper(5)
num2 = numberWrapper(10)
print(num1 > num2)

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

False

[sick birch]

That's operator overloading

Probably doesn't do what you want

[maiden fable]

So it's there for type checking only and no other use?

[weary gale]

async def avatar(ctx, user : discord.Member = None):
    if user == None:
        user = ctx.author
    userAvatar = user.avatar_url
    avEmbed = discord.Embed(colour=000000)
    avEmbed.add_field(f"name={user.name}'s avatar'", value=f'[download]({user.avatar_url})')
    avEmbed.set_image(url = userAvatar)
    
    await ctx.send(embed = avEmbed)```
why doesnt this work?

[sick birch]

No it lets you change what operators like < or > or + do

[sick birch]

What's the error?

[weary gale]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: add_field() takes 1 positional argument but 2 positional arguments (and 1 keyword-only argument) were given

[maiden fable]

Wait not that overloading

!d typing.overload

[unkempt canyon]

typing.overload

@typing.overload```
The `@overload` decorator allows describing functions and methods that support multiple different combinations of argument types. A series of `@overload`-decorated definitions must be followed by exactly one non-`@overload`-decorated definition (for the same function/method). The `@overload`-decorated definitions are for the benefit of the type checker only, since they will be overwritten by the non-`@overload`-decorated definition, while the latter is used at runtime but should be ignored by a type checker. At runtime, calling a `@overload`-decorated function directly will raise [`NotImplementedError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#NotImplementedError "NotImplementedError"). An example of overload that gives a more precise type than can be expressed using a union or a type variable:

[maiden fable]

Lol this one

[sick birch]

Oh lmao no haven't used that yet

[maiden fable]

🤣

[sick birch]

you need the name= in add_field

But you'd be better off using a custom context

[maiden fable]

Hmm

[sick birch]

You can add custom methods and attributes to the ctx that d.py passes in

[maiden fable]

Never knew I'll have to make a custom context for this simple thing 😶

[sick birch]

There's a really nice example on the github page

[maiden fable]

I know how to make a custom context haha

[sick birch]

Oh great, should be a piece of cake then

[maiden fable]

Yups

Thanks anyways

Restart VSCode

[gaunt ice]

did u install in shell?

hm

hm

waittt

do pip3 install discord.py

hm

[upbeat otter]

python -m pip3 install discord.py

,-,

Alright

best of luck

is python even added to path?

lol nvm

environment variabes

this if you are on windows

the image smh

igtg, bye

[maiden fable]

!windows-path

[unkempt canyon]

PATH on Windows

If you have installed Python but forgot to check the Add Python to PATH option during the installation, you may still be able to access your installation with ease.

If you did not uncheck the option to install the py launcher, then you'll instead have a py command which can be used in the same way. If you want to be able to access your Python installation via the python command, then your best option is to re-install Python (remembering to tick the Add Python to PATH checkbox).

You can pass any options to the Python interpreter, e.g. to install the [numpy](https://pypi.org/project/numpy/) module from PyPI you can run py -3 -m pip install numpy or python -m pip install numpy.

You can also access different versions of Python using the version flag of the py command, like so:

C:\Users\Username> py -3.7
... Python 3.7 starts ...
C:\Users\Username> py -3.6
... Python 3.6 starts ...
C:\Users\Username> py -2
... Python 2 (any version installed) starts ...

[gaunt ice]

@limber isle your code works, but is there any way to do it without throwing an error into the console?

Oh, it does that? I though raising SystemExit would just exit, I forgot how it worked lol

just change raise SystemExit to sys.exit()

@slim lynx

[slim lynx]

oh nice

perfect

[limber isle]

👍🏻

[boreal ravine]

nothing

probably something above it raised the error

what IDE are you using?

show me an ss of the import

yes

your import

that caused the pylance error

ah

try restarting your IDE

I've gotten that error before not sure how it raises though

and you should put commands above your bot.run function otherwise the command won't register into the bot

[quick gust]

you will have to

But my some bot command still work

[boreal ravine]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/qegayesusu.sql what does this mean

[quick gust]

what is that, that's not a proper class, you havent passed self, u have 2 .run() functions

[boreal ravine]

why are you making a command inside a class

move it outside of the class

[sick birch]

No offense but I suggest you learn a good bit of Python first before attempting the library

You seem to have the gist of it down but there's still some organization you need, such as not having both a bot and a client

that was me

[proper acorn]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
     Print("a")```
Still work

[sick birch]

Well yeah

[quick gust]

why capitalise p

[slate swan]

your internet :^)

i thought discord.py didn't need any wifi to use though

[sick birch]

huh

Bruh

[slate swan]

.run() needs it

[quick gust]

what

[maiden fable]

How is it gonna connect to the API and the websocket then

[slate swan]

or login/connect etc...

[sick birch]

the whole point of discord.py is to interact with discord?

which is on a different network?

why would you think using it w/o wifi would work...

[proper acorn]

How to do this work?

[slate swan]

well anyway it does need wifi to work

turn on your wifi

uh they're talking here doesn't that mean their wifi is on

how do you think im talking here then smartass

you are not connected to internet . or your connection is too slow

[slate swan]

you did it wrong

[simple gulch]

Any ideas?

[slate swan]

@hidden hazel you'd do it like that

[undone wyvern]

That code isn't going to run

[spring flax]

Is there a way to clone a rule, what I actually want to do is to make a role with the same permissions as another role though

[slate swan]

in the same server right?

[spring flax]

yeah

all the same permissions, channel permissions and guild permissions

basically what i want to do is create a new muted role

[slate swan]

create_role takes an permissions arg , so assuming you have a role object role1 already py perms = role1.permissions await guild.create_role(name='new role with same perms' , permissions = perms) will work

[simple gulch]

Any ideas about my ftp question?

[spring flax]

even the individual channel overrides correct?

[slate swan]

you would have to loop thru all the guild channels and use py overwrites = channel.overwrites_for(role1) await channel.set_permissions(new_role , overwrites)

[slim dragon]

can anyone tell me that how to make the bot keep the track of time of a member to join or leaving a voice channel

[slate swan]

if you mean how long did the user stay in the vc , when a member joins a vc , cache the datetime.now() object somewhere
and when they leave do it again , on subtracting them you'll get a timedelta object which would be the time

!e py import datetime , time five_secs_ago = datetime.datetime.now() time.sleep(5) time_now = datetime.datetime.now() difference = time_now - five_secs_ago print(difference)

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

0:00:05.025092

[slate swan]

^

[slim dragon]

yeah I know that we've to use this datetime thing but I wanna know the code. like the code to kno wthat a member joined the vc and left the vc.

[spring flax]

so,

for channel in ctx.guild.channels:
  overwrites = channel.overwrites_for(role1)

await channel.set_permissions(new_role , overwrites)```
like this?

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=on_voice#discord.on_voice_state_update

[slate swan]

yea but the await channel.set_perm.... must be inside the loop

[spring flax]

ah yeah forgot to press tab there

so that means that discord.Role.permissions returns the guild permissions of a role only, right?

[slate swan]

yea its guild specific perm

[small igloo]

[prisma spoke]

u gonna read full code of 2000 lines?

!!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[small igloo]

don't u dare underestimate my observation eyes

Represents a “partial” emoji.

[manic wing]

why tf has it gone to nextcord

[boreal ravine]

nothing is gone though

[boreal ravine]

partial emoji only supports custom emojis and not unicode ones

[slate swan]

Right

[prisma spoke]

then how to solve that....

[slate swan]

I have no clue which one supports the unicode ones ngl

[prisma spoke]

do u have a bot?

[slate swan]

Yes ofc I do

nme?

does anyone know why pycharm slowdown my pc

[slate swan]

because it consumes too much ram

[boreal ravine]

use sublime

        await channel.set_permissions(new_role , overwrites)

This says set_permissions take 2 positional arguments but three were given?

[small igloo]

u right ||my pc even not responding when i open MS paint||

[small igloo]

how much

[small igloo]

isn't it the same?

[verbal cairn]

I use pycharm community and my pc isn’t slowed at all so

[manic wing]

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions || overwrites=overwrites maybe? gotta check docs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.set\_permissions

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

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The `target` parameter should either be a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that belongs to guild.

The `overwrite` parameter, if given, must either be `None` or [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite"). For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the `overwrite` parameter.

If the `overwrite` parameter is `None`, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

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

[slate swan]

ask your task manager

[verbal cairn]

And I’m running like tons of stuff

[small igloo]

Ae

[slate swan]

depends on your ram

[spring flax]

whooops

[verbal cairn]

My pc isn’t like that great, I have 4096gbs of ram or smth

[boreal ravine]

no, sublime is way lighter than pycharm

[small igloo]

breh this is smol

really? lemme try

[spring flax]

it says invalid permission given to the keyword now

or something

[slate swan]

thats the memory your main.py is taking , not the pycharm application

[verbal cairn]

Copy paste the traceback

[small igloo]

🙂 wait what the

[quick gust]

check task manager lol

[small igloo]

sup @quick gust

[slate swan]

your token.

[spring flax]

oops

[slate swan]

and could you show the line above?

set_permissions

[spring flax]

the error or the code?

[small igloo]

nice, it's so light, now where is terminal and run button?

[boreal ravine]

ctrl b i think

or ctrl shift b

[small igloo]

those two are same and it's not terminal

[slate swan]

ctrl + b for build ,
ctrl + shift + b for build with

[slate swan]

sublime wont open it in terminal

[small igloo]

eh...?

[slate swan]

it has an inbuilt terminal like build

where all prints will take place

or just use python <file path> in your terminal

[small igloo]

umm where run button (and can i pip install there?)

[slate swan]

in your device's terminal

[small igloo]

uh what

[slate swan]

the run button is ctrl + b , and use your device's terminal for pip installs

[slate swan]

ever saw something like "command prompt" in your device?

[small igloo]

ow (i already pip install 2 times, but why it says no module E)

[small igloo]

oh that thing, yes yes

[slate swan]

use it..

[small igloo]

ow ok

Pillow v8.4.0

Python Imaging Library (Fork)

[spring verge]

ohh

[slate swan]

and some maths

[spring verge]

maths? 0--0

[slate swan]

oh i see , its because sublime is not using your python environment

[small igloo]

what the

[slate swan]

did you try visual studio code?

( not askin to shift to it)

[small igloo]

kinda as weight as pycharm in my pc ;-;

[slate swan]

oh i see , it allows you to choose the python environment you want to use , idk how to set that in sublime

you can ask in #editors-ides how to do that

[small igloo]

ok, thanks

It's not a point, you can use it and doing what you want but we cannot help you due to the youtube Terms Of Service, you have to solve it by another way

[prisma spoke]

if it does then what shud i use?

[placid skiff]

There is no package who follow that rules, there are some particular case for example a public research but you need a sort of license i think

[slate swan]

Don't make music bot streaming from YouTube.

[prisma spoke]

then?

[slate swan]

Then don't make a music bot.

As simple as that.

its not a solution
