[slate swan]

welp idk how i didnt knew that thats basic stuff

second question

[cloud dawn]

This is the Pypi packages, inside the root folder is the setup and additional information.

[slate swan]

yeah ik

i just didnt think about it for a reason

ctx.send()

ctx is the class and .send is just a function /attr right?

[cedar stream]

Ctx is class instance

[slate swan]

yes

[cedar stream]

And send is a method yes

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[slate swan]

withing the class right

[cloud dawn]

Context is just all the handy dandy variables inside one class.

[cedar stream]

Yes It’ s a method from context class

[slate swan]

alr

[slate swan]

ah lol

final one
how would i change a var from a class with a subclass right?

[cedar stream]

Wdym

[cloud dawn]

You can also make your own custom context to include the database connection for example so you don't have to address that every time.

[cloud dawn]

super() it.

[slate swan]

yes ofc you need it to inherit everything from a class making it a subclass

[cloud dawn]

Lemme write an example 1 sec

[brave vessel]

You're waiting for the event but that only ever happens once

[slate swan]

discords domain isnt like that

[proven osprey]

how to make it happen more than once?

[brave vessel]

hmm, I wonder if just a while loop would work

[proven osprey]

i tried

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
class test_class():
def init(self, var: int) -> None:
self.some_var = var

@property
def var_retn(self) -> int:
    return self.some_var

class test_sub(test_class):
def init(self, var: int, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
self.some_var = var

obj = test_class(5)
obj_sub = test_sub(10)

print(obj.var_retn)
print(obj_sub.var_retn)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 5
002 | 10

[slate swan]

panda i know how to subclass🕴️

[brave vessel]

you can use a View class and then do something like

import discord

class MyView(discord.ui.view):
  @discord.ui.button(label="Your button's label")
  async def [name of function goes here](self, button, interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hello, world!") # this responds with Hello, world! whenever the button is pressed

async def your command stuff goes here(...):
  await ctx.send(..., view=MyView())

that should work

[cloud dawn]

Then why did you ask ;-;

[brave vessel]

is it a class variable? otherwise I don't think you can change it necessarily

[slate swan]

i just wanted a yes or no response

[brave vessel]

oh wait

nvm

[slate swan]

i ment a obj my bad

[pliant gulch]

A while loop would just spawn infinite Futures

That's a yikes!

This is why those libraries are poorly designed

[slate swan]

im making a dumb command because im bored but it says "command not found"

ill show code

ik its a dumb command

[cedar stream]

I think It’ s @client.command()

With ((

()

[slate swan]

ah thought i had that must've deleted it

[slate swan]

anyone wanna make a discord bot with me? im bored.

[placid skiff]

I have a project but i need someone who can use flask too

and is good with web dev

[cloud dawn]

But.. flask is sync ;-;

[placid skiff]

A bot dashboard doesn't need to be async lel

[cloud dawn]

It does lol

[placid skiff]

why lol?

[cloud dawn]

Because the bot is also async..??

You can't just mix those 2

[placid skiff]

I'll think a way then D_D

[slate swan]

i do async :0

[cloud dawn]

Most python bots that have a dashboard do IPC routing.

[slate swan]

my friend is good with web and hes helping me

[placid skiff]

Well, i need someone who can deal with the web side anyways lol

[cloud dawn]

Not many people do that here. I've seen some but those people usually help others and are experienced coders.

[cedar stream]

Cant u have a separate application for dashboard

[cloud dawn]

Yeah that's what you need to do async subclass.

But then with the IPC routes it's still better performance wise to make it async.

[cedar stream]

Wdym, I just make a bot and then a normal web application

In quarkus and react

[cloud dawn]

You can do it yeah but it will be slower depending on the user base.

Make the whole bot sync if it is just one guild.

idm lol

[cedar stream]

I meant the site

[cloud dawn]

Isn't react js..?

[cedar stream]

Yes, that is reactive

But backend

U can use flask

[cloud dawn]

react is already async lol

flask is sync

[cedar stream]

Yes, react is reactive

Bit different than async

[crude crater]

No

[pliant gulch]

🤔

[cloud dawn]

Clearly the language is react

[cedar stream]

Wdym

[snow flare]

in the on_member_join event, how can I see which invite the person used, or who invited him?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Invite

class discord.Invite```
Represents a Discord [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") or [`abc.GuildChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel "discord.abc.GuildChannel") invite.

Depending on the way this object was created, some of the attributes can have a value of `None`.

x == y Checks if two invites are equal.

x != y Checks if two invites are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the invite hash.

str(x) Returns the invite URL...

[manic wing]

nah

wrong shit, lemme check something

!d discord.Guild.invites || it is this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.invites

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

Returns a list of all active instant invites from the guild.

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

[cloud dawn]

I don't think you can see who invited who.

[manic wing]

.inviter and .uses

actually

no

[cloud dawn]

That will be the one who created the invite and how many times it is used.

No names.

You'd need to write some serious custom shit for that lmao

[manic wing]

i realised

[visual island]

you can see which invite.uses changed

[cloud dawn]

Yeah like i said custom, with large guilds that will be pretty difficult.

[manic wing]

isnt everything ‘custom’?

[proven ore]

hi, for some reason, my python doesnt recognize discord any more, tried reinstalling python, didnt work

[cloud dawn]

I too am sometimes blinded by the concept of 'Discord'.

[proven ore]

my bad lol i meant pycord

[cloud dawn]

Well..?

[proven ore]

ok nvm it worked some how now

..

[tame sierra]

real quick, how do I check if a user has a specifically named role before running a chunk of code?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles: List[Role]```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[pliant gulch]

inb4 two users join at the same time

[cloud dawn]

Yeah that is what i was implying.

[tame sierra]

so something like

if rolename in ctx.message.author.roles:
  pass #codehere

?

[lapis lintel]

It would never work, because it will loop through the role object, not the role name

[cloud dawn]

more like ```py
if "rolename" in [role.name for role in member.roles]

[sonic gale]

!deleteserver

no

[lapis lintel]

LMAO

[cloud dawn]

Bruh nice try though

[sonic gale]

ty

[crude crater]

I wasn't implying that

[manic wing]

ignore wiser btw, he just goes around trolling xD

[ionic wadi]

did discord.py outdate or what

my bot no longer starts

[manic wing]

.

[ionic wadi]

Yeh but did they take it offline or something

[manic wing]

no

it should still work fine

[ionic wadi]

Hmm

[manic wing]

if it worked a month ago and it’s the same code it will work fine rn

[ionic wadi]

weird

[tame sierra]

this worked tysm

[cloud dawn]

Well mostly colabs here is to both know how to code.. hm

[slate swan]

Yea

[cloud dawn]

What do you want to create?

[slate swan]

Games bot or even a moderation bot.

[cloud dawn]

Do you got any experience?

[slate swan]

little bit experience.

[slate swan]

Hi it still doesnt work it says energy isnt a command

like i do the prefix then energy and it doesnt do anything in terminal or chat

[dapper cobalt]

Can you send your code instead of a screenshot?

!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.

[slate swan]

yeah

**@client.command()
@commands.guild_only()
async def energy(ctx: commands.Context):
     energy = [ "Heres 5 hour of energy",
                "Heres one second of energy",
                "Heres 10 hours of energy",
                "Heres 24 hours of energy",
                "Heres 1.5 hours of energy",
                "Heres a week of energy",
                "Heres 2 weeks of energy",
                "Delete discord. Take a break",
     ]**

[dapper cobalt]

It seems like you've got no send method. You need to send a message. I believe what you're attempting is replying with a random item from that energy array; therefore, you'd need to do:

await ctx.send(random.choice(energy))

[slate swan]

How do I check if message.content is only sent from ctx.author?

if ctx.message.content == verification_code:

[cloud dawn]

wait_for function?

[slate swan]

How do I use that?

[visual island]

they're asking whether you're using wait_for or no

[slate swan]

No

[visual island]

then what are you using?

[slate swan]

This is the whole command
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iloyepisop.py

[peak loom]

What has an atrubute to .send?

[visual island]

that will not work

[visual island]

abc.Messageable

[visual island]

use wait_for

[slate swan]

Yeah I tested it didn't work

[slate swan]

How tho

[peak loom]

While using a on_ready function.

[visual island]

get_channel, or get_user

then use .send method there

[peak loom]

NameError: name 'get_channel' is not defined

[visual island]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for | see the example on that link

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[peak loom]

What can I use with .send in an on_ready().

[cloud dawn]

Yesn't

[peak loom]

?

[cloud dawn]

You could but don't recommend it.

[peak loom]

I'm making where when the bot is alive it sends whats new.

[peak loom]

How?

[cloud dawn]

I recommend a new async function with wait_until_ready inside the constructor.

[slate swan]

@pliant gulch ??????????????

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_until\_ready

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

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

[peak loom]

And that will send my embed?

[plain cloud]

Once the bot is ready, you can send it yes. You’ll have to get the channel you want to send it in

[cloud dawn]

No you need to subclass the bot and add that function to run in the constructor.

[peak loom]

I don't use cogs.

[slate swan]

No

[plain cloud]

Dam I thought I knew what I was talking about nvm don’t listen to me

[slate swan]

Just use discord.Client()

[plain cloud]

danny isn’t in here

[slate swan]

So like this?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/igipovejas.py

!documentation discord.Client

!docs discord.Client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, loop=None, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

A number of options can be passed to the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[slate swan]

Use this @cloud dawn

[cloud dawn]

No...?? What are you talking about?

[slate swan]

What

[cloud dawn]

What wrong with bot?

!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.

[slate swan]

Bad

[pliant gulch]

What lol

[slate swan]

Freecodecamp told me discord.Client is better.

Than that shitty discord.ext.commands.Bot.

[peak loom]

I said help, now I'm confused.

[plain cloud]

It’s preference. I don’t think it really matters

[slate swan]

Not prefrence.

[cloud dawn]

Nah he is just trolling

[slate swan]

@pliant gulch ????????????????????

[plain cloud]

unfortunate

[slate swan]

where would i put await ctx.send(random.choice(energy))
?

What is wrong with this code?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/igipovejas.py

[slate swan]

Tfym where...

tfym tfim

[plain cloud]

um just under whatever you’re defining?

so like under where you’ve defined energy. Try there

[slate swan]

I switched to that shtty discord.ext.commands.Bot and now I have this error

from discord import discord as pycord
import discord.ext.commands

client = discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@client.command()
async def client(self, ctx):
    ctx.send("Hi")

client.run("my token")
```Pycord taught me this but there's some error

[slate swan]

its

import pycord
from pycord.ext import commands

Ok

and no need for self since your not in a class

import pycord
from pycord.ext import commands

client = discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@client.command()
async def client(self, ctx):
    ctx.send("Hi")

client.run("my token")
```Still an error

show

[cloud dawn]

await it lol

[slate swan]

good eye

import pycord

client = discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@client.command()
async def client(self, ctx):
    await ("Hi")

client.run("my token")
```Like this?

[slate swan]

no

[plain cloud]

await ctx.send(“hi”)

[slate swan]

await ctx.send()

since its a coro

[cloud dawn]

[slate swan]

that to lol

client = pycord.Client(command_prefix="!")

@client.command()
async def client(self, ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hi")

client.run("my token")

no

your using the bot framework

Bruh I'll just use discord.Client since it's so troublesome

[slate swan]

[cloud dawn]

[slate swan]

lol

[plain cloud]

I’m having a hard time deciding if this is troll or not

[heavy folio]

wtf...

[cloud dawn]

Same.

[slate swan]

same here

[heavy folio]

@slate swan dont name your function 'client'

[heavy folio]

probably copied from a tutorial

[slate swan]

Why

[slate swan]

nah thats horrible to be a tutorial

[heavy folio]

LOL

[cloud dawn]

@slate swan Not if it is him lmao Freecodecamp

[slate swan]

Screw this... I give up

[slate swan]

im leaving

🚶😭

[cloud dawn]

You can't just learn to code in a day or 2.

[slate swan]

cap

[heavy folio]

Tutorials are fundamentally flawed in concept when it comes to teaching you something like a programming language. The simple reason for this is a programming language is how you create whatever you want, a tutorial is something that teaches you how to do *what the tutorial is teaching. *
I recommend reading through all of these points if you want to understand why
A couple of points against tutorials...especially video tutorials:

• Tutorials teach you how to create a project, a specific program, a specific script, etc. This causes many many people to only know how to do this one specific thing.

• A programming language is an entire language itself, this is obvious in of itself but for this point think of this compared to a real language...people have accents, there's multiple ways to say the same thing, there's multiple pronunciations for some words. This same kind of concept applies to programming languages, there are many ways to achieve the same thing, there are code styles which people pick up from learning. Sometimes...these practices can be bad and if you're just learning, how would you know if the tutorial is using some bad practice? Trust me...this happens **a lot **

• Tutorials are made for that specific version of whatever it's using...whether this be python, the discord.py library, some other library it's using...etc. As time goes on that can very quickly become outdated

• Sometimes there are "advanced" or hard concepts that are covered in a tutorial, you're not guaranteed to understand all of it right off the bat. It is extremely hard to provide the relevant documentation for every single concept covered....there would be so much.

• Specifically for this library, the people who look for tutorials are typically new to the language...this library is not meant for beginners, there are some advanced concepts (EG asyncio) that are covered, and jumping straight into that as a beginner is very bad.

@slate swan ^

[cloud dawn]

It is not handy to name it client since that has a different meaning.

[slate swan]

explanation:
tutorials teach you only syntax

[cloud dawn]

Pretty sure bad naming is part of the syntax lol

[slate swan]

command ideas?

[pliant gulch]

And the fact that making the function name client overwrites the defined client

Making client.run error

And in general making client not actually a discord.Client instance

[cloud dawn]

True but if you are using commands.Bot you shouldn't run into that issue..

[heavy folio]

thing is

why even use discord.Client

[slate swan]

idk

[pliant gulch]

You should still run into that issue if you had the same name though lol

[heavy folio]

and naming client your bot instance is a really bad idea

[pliant gulch]

Doesn't matter which client they use to communicate to the API

The naming matters

[cloud dawn]

I recently was thinking about a anti command spam. That if you spam commands from the bot you get a global command cooldown.

Imagine naming everything a letter of the alphabet.

[slate swan]

wouldnt that need a db to count how many commands in a certain time?

idrk how to start with that

[visual island]

just a dict is fine

[cloud dawn]

Uh i'd use the RAM for that since it is really temporary.

[plain cloud]

Some people like discord.Client for servers who want the bot to feel more “human” ig. Without the prefix

[heavy folio]

oh yeah how do i set a global command cooldown (if someone spams x comamnds in more than y seconds)

[slate swan]

probably

[cloud dawn]

The command cooldown i do recommend a db though.

[pliant gulch]

Sometimes you also don't need all that high level message parsing

Say if you had a bot only for logging, that would be a good use case of Client

Not if you were to have 50 message commands

[slate swan]

count me out lol dont wanna use a db rn

[plain cloud]

True true

[heavy folio]

^

[slate swan]

sql is boring to me ._.

[cloud dawn]

sql i pretty fast and easy though

[slate swan]

yeah but i got bored of it lol

[pliant gulch]

You don't need an sql database here though prob

Just a redis cache will be fine

[heavy folio]

anyone

[pliant gulch]

Or a regular dict

[slate swan]

so any other command ideas

[cloud dawn]

We kinda just told everyone here we are discussing it

[pliant gulch]

Write a compiler command

[slate swan]

whats that

[heavy folio]

oh i didnt read

[pliant gulch]

turn code into machine language

[cloud dawn]

You can just use on_command to get started.

[slate swan]

to hard for me 😔

[cloud dawn]

I'd actually use on_command_success

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=on_command#discord.on_command_completion

[pliant gulch]

I mean

With discord.py v2.0 you can just make a custom cooldown mapping

[slate swan]

[cloud dawn]

Hmm activity command.

[slate swan]

pardon?

[plain cloud]

Make a command that creates sentences based on sentence structures and parts of sentences

Story creation!

[cloud dawn]

Use the raw api to request a url to make a activity room like the new discord poker or youtube together.

[slate swan]

autocomplete a sentence?

[plain cloud]

That’s not what I was talking about but sounds good too!!

[pliant gulch]

Make a voice receive command

[slate swan]

no i hate voice related stuff

[slate swan]

still confused

[plain cloud]

Valid

[slate swan]

🚶

[pliant gulch]

Is youtube together even public?

Or is it still expirements

Otherwise I would've added to my wrapper already

[cloud dawn]

No it is still experimental and highly rate limited.

[slate swan]

guys i need a multimillion dollar idea😠

[pliant gulch]

As expected

Still waiting on text field components

[heavy folio]

i think there's an api you can use cuz there's a ext lib for that already

[cloud dawn]

Python syntax with the speed of js and that comes with an actual good api wrapper for discord.

[heavy folio]

!pypi discord-together

[unkempt canyon]

discord-together v1.2.2

Utilize the BETA Discord VC Party Games feature!

[slate swan]

i have 0 knowledge on all of that🚶

[plain cloud]

Sounds like you need a 50 cent idea

[cloud dawn]

Looks like they spend more time on the docstrings than the actual code.

[slate swan]

sure

[pliant gulch]

Yea, I know it exists but I'm asking if the endpoints are public

[heavy folio]

ohh

[plain cloud]

Make a command that picks a random image off like imgur

[slate swan]

i have with asyncpraw

[plain cloud]

cute cute

[slate swan]

Imgur != Reddit

[slate swan]

shut up

I already am

😖

[cloud dawn]

Everything we recommend isn't good enough.

[slate swan]

its still gets a random img ok

[slate swan]

no i need to be bill gates

🕵️‍♂️

[dapper cobalt]

Try and see.

[cloud dawn]

Emulate the Nswitch in the discord chat.

[slate swan]

what is that😭

[cloud dawn]

idk

[slate swan]

🧍‍♂️

[cloud dawn]

You asked for a million dollar idea you didn't say that it should be possible.

[pliant gulch]

Make discord but in discord

[slate swan]

🚶

[pliant gulch]

Oh

[cloud dawn]

I like where this is heading.

[slate swan]

what😮‍💨

[pliant gulch]

make a global chat

Cross server chat

[slate swan]

how😔

[cloud dawn]

Ugh i actually hate that 😂

[manic wing]

why

[dapper cobalt]

It's an apps marketing platform.

!ot I don't like being this guy.

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channel: #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[cloud dawn]

Because... no ;-;

[manic wing]

why?

[slate swan]

🚶

[manic wing]

we're talking about discord bot ideas

which is one of the topics

[plain cloud]

Isn’t these discord bot ideas?

[dapper cobalt]

Ah, then you're good.

[cloud dawn]

Yes this is very educational.

[slate swan]

any command that uses buttons

[manic wing]

calc

[cloud dawn]

snake game in discord.

[slate swan]

pardon?

[manic wing]

make a really nice calculator

[plain cloud]

Rock Paper Scissors

[slate swan]

I did everywhere i put i get a error

[slate swan]

thats to generic

[plain cloud]

Heads up 7 up

[slate swan]

oh calculator

[manic wing]

mmhm

[dapper cobalt]

Get random wallpapers through some API, and make a "gallery" that you can go through using buttons.

[plain cloud]

Make a command that blends your pfp with pictures

[slate swan]

i love this guy

[manic wing]

dude

[heavy folio]

        async def global_spam_ratelimit(ctx):
            if ctx.author.id in self.owner_ids:
                return True
                
            bucket = self.cd.get_bucket(ctx.message)
            retry_after = bucket.update_rate_limit()
            if retry_after:
                raise GlobalRatelimitHit('You have hit the global spam ratelimit!')
            return True
```rn i have this but eh i want the owner to bypass this, for some reason it doesnt let me bypass the global cooldown

[manic wing]

just make a calculator

[dapper cobalt]

Everywhere inside your command's function? Or everywhere in your code?

[slate swan]

use your phone

really easy

[dapper cobalt]

Everybody does.

[slate swan]

[plain cloud]

[manic wing]

you want your commands to be unique? literally any fucking command you make you can find a website for online

[heavy folio]

^

[plain cloud]

oh snap

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[plain cloud]

Make a gaslight command

[manic wing]

you ask for command ideas but dont have the coding strength to implement them

[dapper cobalt]

@slate swan I found this API. https://unsplash.com/documentation#get-a-random-photo

[slate swan]

Both

[slate swan]

seen it lol i actually have a acc with it iirc

[slate swan]

i do?i just dont want to do a calc? your own a device that probably has a calc so whats so hard to go into it and using it?

[cloud dawn]

Make a command to start a minecraft server and have the console output inside the discord channel.

[pliant gulch]

Make a turing complete calculator

[cloud dawn]

Scientific calculator.

[slate swan]

i will be making this bye now 🚶

[plain cloud]

Make a command… that makes new commands by editing your script 😌✌️

[manic wing]

you can use the exact same logic for every single command every single bot has. you dont have the coding prowess to make any of the commands suggested, hence why you make the easy command.

[dapper cobalt]

It seems like you've got slight knowledge in Python. Nevertheless, your code should be like this:

@client.command()
@commands.guild_only()
async def energy(ctx: commands.Context):
  energy = ["Heres 5 hour of energy",
            "Heres one second of energy",
            "Heres 10 hours of energy",
            "Heres 24 hours of energy",
            "Heres 1.5 hours of energy",
            "Heres a week of energy",
            "Heres 2 weeks of energy",
            "Delete discord. Take a break"]
  await ctx.send(random.choice(energy))

Remember, you need to import random initially.

[manic wing]

my calc has that ;)

[manic wing]

sci button

alg button is fucked

[plain cloud]

Unscientific calculator 🧍‍♂️

[cloud dawn]

A calculator that just outputs random ints

[dapper cobalt]

Conversely, I do not recommend you rely on others giving you code. Better to learn Python before jumping into a complex library such as discord.py and rely on your own knowledge.

[cloud dawn]

Make a bot that can create other discord bots

[dapper cobalt]

@slate swan These are a few small projects you can do to practice. https://knightlab.northwestern.edu/2014/06/05/five-mini-programming-projects-for-the-python-beginner/

[plain cloud]

not me starting discord.py with no code knowledge in 2019. It’s a miracle I still enjoy coding after that experience

[dapper cobalt]

Not hard tbh. Just create a new .py file, with open() and write the code in it. Then, use some sftp method to upload that file to your hosting.

[cloud dawn]

I started coding python in May this year.

[manic wing]

:O

[slate swan]

impressive

[dapper cobalt]

I do that. I just execute !new <token> on my personal bot, and it creates a server on my Pterodactyl panel, sends link, and uploads the starting file to it.

[cloud dawn]

Don't be fooled i was programming in PHP before this.

[slate swan]

😳

[cloud dawn]

html, css some js

c# even and some C

[dapper cobalt]

Pandas Hate Pink?

[cloud dawn]

Noo ;-; i like pink

[plain cloud]

PHP more like Python (hython) python

[pliant gulch]

php lol

[plain cloud]

just kidding ✌️🥵😔

[dapper cobalt]

!ot Don't try to convince me PHP has anything to do with dpy.

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channel: #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[plain cloud]

you’re right

[cloud dawn]

I mean i can use a PHP script to controll my dpy application.

[manic wing]

im sure there are plenty of correlations

[plain cloud]

Has anyone seen a discord chat bot? That formulates it’s own responses?

[cloud dawn]

You mean an AI?

[dapper cobalt]

It mostly gets responses through an API.

[manic wing]

i wanna see a chatbot without py if bot.user: return 😎

[plain cloud]

Haha me too

[plain cloud]

Mmm gotcha

[plain cloud]

?Machine learning? but yeah ig

[manic wing]

if you dont understand this then you shouldnt be here

[cloud dawn]

Machine learning is way too dumb dumb for that

[plain cloud]

I’ve been working on one that’s barely gone anywhere

But I’m working on it nonetheless

[dapper cobalt]

I use this. https://api-docs.pgamerx.com/AI Response/fetching-response/#get-ai

[cloud dawn]

Machine learning is pure predictions and speculation trained based of on a model. AI can make real time adjustments to that module.

[pliant gulch]

Quite the task, you need to tokenize things, weight tokens by how important they are. Then you gotta do all this nonsense with parsing

[plain cloud]

Gave it some categories like noun, verb, adjective, etc. taught it some words. Now it learns sentence structures by words it knows. It uses these sentence structures to decipher what a new word’s category is. Also have a check for surrounding word patterns to help assign new words.

Hit some roadblocks with English words falling in multiple categories but I’ve been working towards fixing that

[dapper cobalt]

As well as, it allows you to customize some information. Which's really cool. https://api-docs.pgamerx.com/AI Response/optional-customisation/#optional-query-parameters-for-full-customisation-in-the-ai

[pliant gulch]

Are you taking into account intent and emotions as well?

[plain cloud]

First I’m getting a non-emotion version. Very blank

Afterwards I’ll work on connotations

I already have it where it can identify the subject and predicate and preposition in sentences (if it knows the words)

[pliant gulch]

Training should be pretty simple too, depending on if you have an active discord server where the bot can listen onto

[plain cloud]

It’s a process 😤 too much brain power

Training is really simple. Problem is I let my activity slip in bigger servers during school so no one will add my bot lol

[cloud dawn]

So are we talking about DNN?

[plain cloud]

No idea what that stands for

[cloud dawn]

What are you using to train your bot then??

CNN?

[plain cloud]

It’s using discord messages

[cloud dawn]

Yeah using..? Keras? Tensorflow?

[plain cloud]

I made my own checks

It uses PyDictionary to remove words that aren’t words from my general check savefile

[cloud dawn]

So you are saying you made your own neural network algorithm?

[plain cloud]

I’ve made a learning algorithm definitely not neural network

It uses averages of message structures and commonly used surrounding words

[cloud dawn]

So an AI.

[plain cloud]

If that’s what you think an AI then sure lol

It’s not able to create a message based on subject yet because I will have to add some sort of connotation reader to create a message

[cloud dawn]

Your reasoning about how you created your chatbot is beyond my comprehension.

[plain cloud]

I’m sorry I’m bad at explaining 😅 when it’s done ima open it up on GitHub

[pliant gulch]

Your not using a neural network? This is gonna be hard to maintain

[cloud dawn]

That is exactly what i was thinking, that's almost hard coding the thing.

[plain cloud]

Yeah I am aware but it’s kinda just a passtime thing

[cloud dawn]

Most use neural network module with numpy to train and get responses.

[plain cloud]

Ima look into it. Tbf I didn’t really know what to look for

My first version of this process was trash and didn’t do crap because it was a fat else: statement at the end of my on_message because I didn’t understand functions in 2019

[cloud dawn]

Well you start off with ANN then try to move on to DNN.

[plain cloud]

But it’s a lot more organized and better formatted now

Ima look into that, thanks!

[cloud dawn]

TensorFlow and keras do most of that heavy lifting though...

Now i want to do deep learning projects lol

[plain cloud]

It’s sm fun

[shrewd inlet]

i have 2 role commands that grant a user a role, one that gives and one that takes it away. i would like to make one role command and basically if the member doesn’t have the role it gives it to them but if they do have it, then it removes it. how could i make that possible? i need help please :)

[plain cloud]

From scratch it’s very satisfying watching it work

[cloud dawn]

check if the user has that role yes or the no.

if it has the role.. remove else.. add

[shrewd inlet]

nono that’s not what i’m asking. i’m asking if i can make a command that can do both

[cloud dawn]

Yeah so kinda like a light switch.

[shrewd inlet]

and so the command can detect if the user has the role or not and decide whether to remove it or to add it

[cloud dawn]

That is exactly what my previous message suggested.

[plain cloud]

You can do that in one command. It’ll be like an if else

[shrewd inlet]

oh i didn’t understand it, my bad. i’m quite new to coding 😅

[shrewd inlet]

ohhh

[cloud dawn]

Could you send the code you have got so far?

[plain cloud]

All good 🙏 gotta start somewhere

[shrewd inlet]

🙏

[cloud dawn]

[shrewd inlet]

sorry for bothering but how can i make that command? 😅

[shrewd inlet]

alrighty

[vast gale]

that's what they suggested 😛

here's the flow

• use the roles property on the discord.Member object, (docs: discord.Member.roles)
• check if the role object is in that list or not
• if it is, remove, if it isn't add

[shrewd inlet]

@bot.command()
async def addrole(ctx, role: discord.Role, user: discord.Member):
  if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
   embed = discord.Embed(description=f"Added {role.mention} to {user.mention}",color=0x2f3136)
   await user.add_roles(role)
   await ctx.send(embed=embed)

@bot.command()
async def removerole(ctx, role: discord.Role, user: discord.Member):
  if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
   embed = discord.Embed(description=f"Removed {role.mention} from {user.mention}",color=0x2f3136)
   await user.remove_roles(role)
   await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[shrewd inlet]

thank you!!!

[vast gale]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles: List[Role]```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[vast gale]

btw is this part of a public bot?

[shrewd inlet]

no, this is a private bot for my server

[vast gale]

okay cool

[shrewd inlet]

i am so sorry but i don’t understand how to do this 😭 i’m trying my best but how do i do this?

[cloud dawn]

I'm coding...

[shrewd inlet]

nice!!

[vast gale]

!e ```py

this is a demo of how you can check its in the list or not

roles = [0,1,2, 4,5]

we have 2

print(2 in roles)

we don't have 3

print(3 in roles)

[unkempt canyon]

@vast gale :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | True
002 | False

[shrewd inlet]

ohhh thanks!

[vast gale]

you can use that boolean logic to determine if you should use discord.Member.add_roles or discord.Member.remove_roles

[pliant gulch]

Clean way you could do is (add_roles, remove_role)[role in member.roles]

[cloud dawn]

import discord

from discord.ext.commands import Context, MemberConverter, RoleConverter
from discord.abc import Messageable

@bot.command(name='change_role', aliases=['cr'])
@commands.has_guild_permissions(administrator=True)
async def change_role(ctx: Context, role: RoleConverter = None, member: MemberConverter = None) -> discord.Message:
    if not role and not isinstance(role, discord.Role):
        return await ctx.send('Invalid role.')

    member = ctx.author or member
    embed = discord.Embed(description=f"Removed {role.mention} to {member.mention}", color=0x2f3136)

    if role in member.roles:
        await member.add_roles(role)
    else:
        await user.remove_roles(role)

    return await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[pliant gulch]

The return annotation is wrong kek

[cloud dawn]

Idk what it returns lol

[vast gale]

None or discord.Message

[pliant gulch]

Messageable.send returns the Message

The return type would be Message

[cloud dawn]

There xD

[pliant gulch]

Any?

[cloud dawn]

Could be any

[vast gale]

(you have to import Any)

[cloud dawn]

I did

[vast gale]

and no, it'll be either discord.Message or None

[cloud dawn]

There xD

I'm going to sleep..

[vast gale]

from typing import Optional


# actual hint
Optional[discord.Message]

[cloud dawn]

Well it isn't optional it will always return discord.Message now.

[vast gale]

also you don't need to import the converters, discord.py will calculate those automatically

can just type hint them with discord.Role and discord.Member

[cloud dawn]

Looks nicer imo

[vast gale]

this is nicest

[pliant gulch]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def role(ctx: commands.Context, role: discord.Role, target: discord.Member) -> None:
    meth = (member.add_roles(role), member.remove_role(role))[role in member.roles]
    await meth

[vast gale]

ye

[cloud dawn]

Preference

[visual island]

that's valid syntax?

[pliant gulch]

Which part

[cloud dawn]

Sadly yes

[plain cloud]

meth as a variable 😭😭

[pliant gulch]

Well it made sense to me

Meth as in method

[plain cloud]

ohhhhh okay lol

[cloud dawn]

Meth as in ...

[plain cloud]

That’s just so funny to me

bout to look into tensor flow. brain go brrr

[visual island]

!e
a = (print(1), print)[1 + 1 == 2]
a(2)

[slate swan]

ah i seee

[unkempt canyon]

@visual island :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 1
002 | 2

[cloud dawn]

The person we were helping is long gone xD

[visual island]

hmm

[cloud dawn]

Well i was going to sleep 👋

forreal now lol

[plain cloud]

Farewell panda

[pliant gulch]

For backwards compatibility. True is really just 1 and False is really just 0

!e ```py
print(int(True))
print(int(False))

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | 1
002 | 0

[pliant gulch]

This is why (..., ...)[True] works along with False

[heady lake]

hi how to make a discord modmail bot using python? thank you so much!

[slate swan]

how do i make a cooldown for buttons do i disable it and then sleep and then enable it?

[dapper cobalt]

That should do the job, yes.

[maiden fable]

Wait wtf did u just do

[slate swan]

😶 py a = (None , None)[True]?

[slate swan]

alr another question how can i append in a list comp if you can?

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
ret = (1, 2)[True]
print(ret)

[unkempt canyon]

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

2

[shrewd inlet]

how do i make it so a command can only be used by a specific role?

[slate swan]

use has_role/has_any_role check

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit 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 [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

[shrewd inlet]

@bot.command(discord.ext.commands.has_role(924841723753021490))
async def addrole(ctx, user: discord.Member, role: discord.Role):
   embed = discord.Embed(description=f"**Added {role.mention} to {user.mention}**",color=0x2f3136)
   await user.add_roles(role)
   await ctx.send(embed=embed)

@bot.command(discord.ext.commands.has_role(924841723753021490))
async def removerole(ctx, user: discord.Member, role: discord.Role):
   embed = discord.Embed(description=f"**Removed {role.mention} from {user.mention}**",color=0x2f3136)
   await user.remove_roles(role)
   await ctx.send(embed=embed)

is that correct?

[boreal ravine]

bruh

[boreal ravine]

you dont add the whole path to the check

and it's a decorator

[shrewd inlet]

oh

[boreal ravine]

add it to your command

[shrewd inlet]

sorry im new to do this

where do i add it?

[boreal ravine]

to your command

[shrewd inlet]

but like where or after what

[boreal ravine]

above/below @bot.command()

[shrewd inlet]

alr

[dapper cobalt]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_role(role_id)

[maiden fable]

Still didn't understand

[shrewd inlet]

ty

[pliant gulch]

We use the bool here as the index to access the tuple being (1, 2)

Since python 3 has backwards compatibility with python 2 True is actually 1 and False is actually 0

[pliant gulch]

[maiden fable]

Ah

[manic wing]

shit wrong person sorry

[boreal ravine]

Cool

[manic wing]

@maiden fable i found a reason for get_context

i have subclassed ctx and its very useful for me to have the ctx

[visual island]

ohhh, you're smart

I thought it was a new syntax or something

[plain cloud]

anyone here have a cool gucci discord bot

absolute beauty of a specimen of Python?

[pliant gulch]

I got a pretty cleanly written bot

https://github.com/an-dyy/0x42

[plain cloud]

A solid 10/10 very beautiful gucci specimen of Python

Thank you

[pliant gulch]

Pretty old code though

I write way better code nowadays

[slate swan]

whats the coro to edit a msgs content

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

await edit(content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., suppress=..., delete_after=None, allowed_mentions=..., view=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

Changed in version 1.3: The `suppress` keyword-only parameter was added.

[slate swan]

thx

[boreal ravine]

Whats next? 0x43?

[pliant gulch]

Yes

[slate swan]

made with lefi right?

[pliant gulch]

That's actually the name of it lol

And yes it's made with lefi

[slate swan]

yeah ik you told me a while ago

[dreamy sluice]

Can someone help? This line is giving me errors.

@bot.command(name='8ball',
            description="Answers a yes/no question.",
            brief="Answers from the beyond.",
            aliases=['eight_ball', 'eightball', '8-ball', '8ball'],
            pass_context=True)

async def eight_ball(ctx, *argv): 
    if argv[0] == None or argv[0] == '':
      possible_responses = [
          '🎱 Totally no',
          '🎱 Not looking likely',
          '🎱 Too hard to tell',
          '🎱 Quite possible',
          '🎱 Definitely',
      ]

      await ctx.channel.send(random.choice(possible_responses))
    else:
      await ctx.send("No proper arguments given")

[upbeat otter]

And the errors are?

[upbeat otter]

You never closed the string in the conditional

[upbeat otter]

Close the string in the if @dreamy sluice

[dreamy sluice]

The single quotes?

[upbeat otter]

And its ctx.send

[upbeat otter]

Yes

[boreal ravine]

both can be used

[upbeat otter]

.channel gives error somtimes but oki as you want

[boreal ravine]

no?

how does it give an error?

[dreamy sluice]

Aren't they already enclosed?

[upbeat otter]

Can you show the full traceback?

[maiden fable]

@dreamy sluice may I know why have u left a line in between the deco and the function?

[upbeat otter]

@maiden fable i've a question

[maiden fable]

Hm?

[slate swan]

i have a question as well lol

[maiden fable]

Hm?

[dreamy sluice]

It produces an error?

[maiden fable]

Just asking... iirc it should error out, try removing the line

[dreamy sluice]

Ye lemme see

[upbeat otter]

Does specifying a different name in the decorator and specifying a different one while initializing the function make any difference?

[maiden fable]

Yea

The name in the deco is dominant to the function name

[upbeat otter]

Oki

Ty

[dreamy sluice]

Welp, it still errors out.

[boreal ravine]

@dreamy sluice try restarting your bot

[maiden fable]

@dreamy sluice u sure there ain't any missing closing brackets on preceding lines?

[dreamy sluice]

Hm

[maiden fable]

Sometimes the error is cz of a missing )

[upbeat otter]

Screenshot of your code would be better

[dreamy sluice]

Pretty sure I didn't.

[dreamy sluice]

I might be dumb if I am being honest

[upbeat otter]

Not even an error marking

[maiden fable]

Weird

[slate swan]

if you edit an embed you only edit its text and not attachments right?

[boreal ravine]

did you try restarting your bot?

[valid galleon]

is there any way to check if the author has either one of the permissions specified, and if they do, the command will run? ik how to use @commands.has_permissions(), but afaik it only checks for one permission

[dreamy sluice]

I re ran it several times.

[maiden fable]

Nope, iirc

[upbeat otter]

Restart replit

[dreamy sluice]

k

[quick gust]

has_any_permission is a thing iirc

[maiden fable]

Yes it is

[slate swan]

how would i edit an img with the attachments kwarg in msg edit?

[boreal ravine]

pycord allows editing attachments afaik

[maiden fable]

Wym edit an image?

[maiden fable]

That wasn't the question but okay

[slate swan]

im trying to edit an embed that has an img in it and i want it to replace and img with a new one

[boreal ravine]

make another embed then?

[slate swan]

i did lol

[quick gust]

just change the embed set_image or whatever your image is set in

[slate swan]

i did

[maiden fable]

message.embeds return a list of Embeds object.

[quick gust]

then edit the message with the new embed...?

[maiden fable]

U can do message.embeds[0].set_image(...)

[slate swan]

kinda forgot and i think its wrong

[boreal ravine]

whats the issue

[quick gust]

still kinda unsure of what you're tryna do

[maiden fable]

@quick gust he's trying to edit an embed's image

[quick gust]

await message.edit(content="text", embed=new_embed)```

[slate swan]

await ctx.msgvar.edit(embedobj=newembedobj)

its wrong isnt it

[maiden fable]

No it isn't lol

[boreal ravine]

why do you need context

[slate swan]

gives me an error

Unresolved reference 'oldwallpaper'

[heavy folio]

pass_context is outdated isnt it

[quick gust]

share your code

[boreal ravine]

you should be able to solve that error

[maiden fable]

Yups

[boreal ravine]

define oldwallpaper in your function, not in the global scope

[maiden fable]

But the power of **kwargs :DDD

[slate swan]

im not that stupid

[quick gust]

also embedobj isn't a kwarg i think

[slate swan]

thats the old msg var

[heavy folio]

[boreal ravine]

so whats the issue then

[boreal ravine]

so? move it inside your function

[slate swan]

hold up

[dreamy sluice]

Wait my bot now works

Repl wasn't showing me syntax errors my friend has done

[slate swan]

how do you edit an embed because i did

oldembed=newembed

[dreamy sluice]

It showed them when I refreshed.

[boreal ravine]

you need the message object, and the edit method takes an embed kwarg.

[maiden fable]

It has the same kwargs as send

            await ctx.send(f"My activity has been changed to 'Playing {activity}'")

        else:
            await ctx.send("Invalid Syntax Bozo")```
This is just giving me the `else:` back. Prior to adding `.lower()` it worked just fine. What did I do wrong?

[slate swan]

yes i do have it so ill just use the embed kwarg and add the new embed

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

ah i see

i still get the stupid error tho

[maiden fable]

What u inputting

[cerulean osprey]

Wym?

[quick gust]

do you mind sharing what u are doing because the examples you are giving aren't helping us help you

[boreal ravine]

the unbound error?

[maiden fable]

What are the arg and activity u putting

[slate swan]

msgobj = await ctx.send()
await msgobj.edit()

im doing that which idk if its quite right

[cerulean osprey]

-act listening "Wind yell at me"

[boreal ravine]

it is

[slate swan]

weird

[boreal ravine]

send() returns a Message object when you use it

[cerulean osprey]

That worked prior to me adding .lower()

[maiden fable]

Hmm

[slate swan]

wait

fck it was indentation

wasnt in the if statement i had gosh my bad guys

[boreal ravine]

oof

[slate swan]

thank you everyone

[quick gust]

also u don't have a * operator so it will take "Wind as the activity only (not related to the error you are experiencing)

[maiden fable]

No

[slate swan]

sorry im new to pycharm

[cerulean osprey]

The quotes make it take it all

[slate swan]

so i turned off errors

[quick gust]

oh they do?

[cerulean osprey]

Yeah

[maiden fable]

It will take the whole string @quick gust

[boreal ravine]

VSC

[quick gust]

good to know

[slate swan]

i changed so i can have zero two in the background im that down bad

[cerulean osprey]

Although I should add a *, thx for reminding me

[quick gust]

np

[cerulean osprey]

Wait so whats the difference between * and **

[maiden fable]

!args-kwargs

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

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

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

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

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

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

@slash.slash(
      name="view",
      description="select a country from a continent",
      guild_ids=[877730319434919946])

async def view(ctx: SlashContext, args=None):

    # north-america; Canada, USA, Mexico

    dictionary = { 
      "north-america": [924737989341503609, 924737988800438322, 924737997503627265]
    }```

[boreal ravine]

?

[soft lynx]

so basically, im making a group of roles, per continent
and then i want to use a command (ex: !show-north-america)
and it will display the roles in North America that no one in the server currently has
this is a server specific command

    elif args == "North America" or "NA23":
      for country in dictionary["north-america"]:
       guild = ctx.guild
       role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles) 
  # role = get_role(country)
       if len(role.members) == 0:
          await ctx.send(role)

[soft lynx]

im not getting an error, however, its simply not working

[slate swan]

can someone help?

[soft lynx]

yeah, changes messages to message

should work

[slate swan]

thanks

[cerulean osprey]

Add print commands in various spots, it helps me sometimes

[soft lynx]

yeah

i still cant identify exactly why its not working

[slate swan]

A member Cannot exist with 0 roles

[soft lynx]

if 0 members have that role

is what im trying to check

[slate swan]

oh nvm I read it wrong , what r u trying to do btw

[soft lynx]

i have a dictionary, with roles. i want a user to invoke a command that sends every single role within that dictionary that no one in the server currently has

[slate swan]

utils.get takes a name/id parameter too

Oof

[soft lynx]

So is there a Utils.get with a guild parameter?

To check if anyone on the guild has the role?

[brittle harness]

if message.content.startswith.case_insensitive("$Hello"):
        await message.channel.send("Hello!")

Would this allow for the bot to be case insensitive?

I have been stuck on case insensitive for awhile.

[slate swan]

If you do py utils.get(guild.roles) all you get is the everyone role

In that case role.members will never be 0

[soft lynx]

is there a way around it?

Unless I did something that was like guild.roles minus one

[sage otter]

Make it easier for yourself and actually use the commands framework thats built into the library

[slate swan]

You want a role named something?

i got my bot to play music

[slate swan]

Nope

lets gooooooo

[sage otter]

commands.Bot takes allows you to pass case_insensitive into its constructer

[soft lynx]

No, I’m trying to cross check a dictionary which contains roles.

For each role in that dictionary that no one has, I want it to send the corresponding role ID

[brittle harness]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$", case_insensitive=True, description="The bot prefix is $.")

I have that but it isn't working.

[sage otter]

how so?

[slate swan]

You have role ids in the list , not roles....

[sage otter]

Got any errors?

[brittle harness]

It still needs a capitol at the start.

Idk why.

[soft lynx]

Those are the roles I want it to check tho

[alpine vault]

My bot (gets ratelimited?) Cannot add emotes after adding about ~30 emotes to an said guild, I've tried imposing and sleep statement in between addition of emotes like await asyncio.sleep(2) but that doesn't seem to help either.
How can i go about this?

[heavy folio]

wdym

[small igloo]

a lego man has fallen into a river

[soft lynx]

I want it to check if anyone has those roles @slate swan and if not, send their IDS in the channel it was invoked in

[sage otter]

Are you still trying to make commands with that
if message.content.startswith() shit?

if so, that makes sense why it wont work

[slate swan]

you can just get the role using ctx.guild.get_role(id)and check if role.members is 0 or not

[sage otter]

if you wanted to do it that way. Which no one here would recommend. You would convert the string to lower case .
For example:

if message.content.lower().startswith("!hello"):
    await message.channel.send("hi")

[brittle harness]

Well what's the way you would do it?

[sage otter]

They would tell you to read this guide
https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev

[sage otter]

add parenthesis to lower

its a method

I honestly dont know why people who use dpy dont use the commands framework. Like its already built into the package you install from pypi or git. Unlike d.js's commando or akairo framework. Its honestly just wasteful.

Its like people trying to re-invent the wheel.

[soft lynx]

ill try this

[hardy yoke]

it's the fault of bad/outdated tutorials

[soft lynx]

now im genuinely getting an error

    elif args == "North America" or "NA23":
      for country in dictionary["north-america"]:
       role = ctx.guild.get_role(id)
       if len(role.members) == 0:
          await ctx.send(role)

[slate swan]

What's the error

[soft lynx]

members is not an object of role

[slate swan]

the role id is invalid

Ez

And what's the variable id ?

[soft lynx]

like my dict contains incorrect ids?

[slate swan]

You should be using get_role(country) since that's the elements of list

[soft lynx]

ah yeah

[slate swan]

no you coded it wrong

[soft lynx]

this makes sense, bc country refers to those ids

[slate swan]

Yeah

[crude crater]

No he didn't

[brittle harness]

So should I scrap some of my code and rebuild?

[hardy yoke]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html the proper way isn't any harder so it shouldn't be 2 difficult to replace the code

That would be ideal. So later in development you dont get inconvenienced.

this just returns another traceack exception

so i use global last_level and the terminal says this, what's wrong

SyntaxError: name 'last_level' is used prior to global declaration

    else:
        await ctx.send("not enough coin sorry :(")

[slate swan]

Oh that's not related to the code I sent , you are .send()ing a role object

Send role.name or role.id smthin

[hardy yoke]

why are you using global 🤔

[soft lynx]

oh lmao, it works now

i have one more formatting question, and thanks for all your help btw

    elif args == "North America" or "NA23":
      role_ids : list = dictionary ["north-america"]
      for role_id in role_ids:
        role = ctx.guild.get_role(role_id)
        if len(role.members) == 0:
          await ctx.send(role.name)

right now its sending a separate message for each role
how can i make it send all of the role.name in one message?
this is probably pretty basic

[small igloo]

remove it = local variable is declared before assignment, isn;t it?

[visual island]

list comps, then use str.join method on that list

[visual island]

yes, use botvar instead (see !botvar)

global is confusing

[small igloo]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[small igloo]

what

oh, just use bot."name"

?

[soft lynx]

wdym by comps

[sage otter]

List comprehensions
await ctx.send(", ".join([ctx.guild.get_role(id).name for id in role_ids if not len(ctx.guild.get_role(id).members)]))
Rough sketch but something like this

Wrote on mobile so theres probably a fault in there somewhere.

[small igloo]

ok, ggty

[soft lynx]

this sends the message three times, as there are three values in the dict

is there a way to just make it send it once

[sage otter]

Take it out of the for loop

[soft lynx]

rightt

[sage otter]

everything in that list comprehension does all of that shit your for loop does

[soft lynx]

its still displaying roles within the dictionary that users have

i want it to only send the roles within the dictionary that no users have

    elif args == "North America" or "NA23":
      role_ids : list = dictionary ["north-america"]
      for role_id in role_ids:
        role = ctx.guild.get_role(role_id)
        if len(role.members) == 0:
          await ctx.send(", ".join([ctx.guild.get_role(id).name for id in role_ids if not len(ctx.guild.get_role(id).members)]))

here is the current code

[sage otter]

Not sure why its still in your for loop but ok. Honestly that should of worked .
if not ctx.guild.get_role(id).members works too
Remove the for loop entirely. The await ctx.send(....) should be right under the role_ids declaration

[magic ore]

That elif condition will always be True

Got code that looks like this, and it's not working properly?

if x == "foo" or "bar" or "baz":

Python is interpreting this as though it was this:

if (x == "foo") or ("bar") or ("baz"):

If the first expression (x == "foo") isn't true, the second ("bar") will be, so this compound conditional always passes.
Try this instead: py if x == "foo" or x == "bar" or x == "baz": or, even better: ```py
if x in ("foo", "bar", "baz"):

[slate swan]

Hi so im trying to make it play music but in a file it can play music out of the file but i want it to be in a music file

how do i do that?

i alr have the code

[visual island]

pass "music/file.mp3" in the arg then

[slate swan]

so music/file.mp3 arg

?

put in the brackets obv

or just use FFmpegPCMAudio("music/"+arg) if all the music files are in the same directory named music

[final iron]

Just something to point out

!or

[unkempt canyon]

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

[soft lynx]

thank you for helping me btw

this helps simply the problem, however

the bot will still include IDs of roles that people already have

the goal is for the bot to only show the roles that people do no thave

[heavy folio]

is there any way to make a reconnect command? meaning the bot logs out then relogs in

[slate swan]

using bot.close and os.system("python <your bot file>") may work

[soft lynx]

await ctx.send(f"@<{id}>, ".join([ctx.guild.get_role(id).name for id in role_ids if not len(ctx.guild.get_role(id).members)]))

can i use this to make it send the roles as pings, rather than names?

nvm, i tested it and i cant

can you explain how i can make it send the list as pings

[slate swan]

From your code earlier

[ ctx.guild.get_role(role_id) for role_id in role_ids if not len(ctx.guild.get_role(role_id))]``` must be the thing

You can use.join on it

[slate swan]

Is id a variable?

[soft lynx]

nope, so i cant do that

[slate swan]

You want to mention the role?

[soft lynx]

yeah

[slate swan]

",".join([ ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).mention for role_id in role_ids if not len(ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).members)])```

Role has mention attribute

[soft lynx]

oh

didnt know that was an attribute

[soft lynx]

never seen this error before

      role_ids : list = dictionary ["north-america"]

      await ctx.send(", ".join([ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).mention for role_id in role_ids if not ctx.guild.get_role(role_id)]))```

is it giving me an error bc it thinks that all of the roles are already occupied?

[heavy folio]

oh

[tiny ibex]

https://github.com/Shirataki2/discord-ext-audiorec
Can someone tell me why this doesn't record audio

It just sends recording like this one

[soft lynx]

"This project is currently under development. We do not guarantee it works."

thats what it says in its readme

[tiny ibex]

BRUH

It works for my friend atleast

With the same code

[boreal ravine]

not related to discord bots

[tiny ibex]

It is directly related to discord bot bruh

[boreal ravine]

no

its an extension for dpy

[tiny ibex]

And?

[boreal ravine]

so its not related

make a issue on the github

why ask here

[tiny ibex]

Ok so discord-interaction is a plugin to dpy so it is not related to discord bot?

Very dumb logic of yours

[tiny ibex]

Bro this is not the dpy server

[slate swan]

That should not be inside the loop....

oh nvm the list is empty

And use .members at the last , I forgot to add it

[boreal ravine]

you only ask help here when its related to discord bots, the plugin worked didnt it? whats the issue lmfao #discord-bots message

[slate swan]

Updated

[tiny ibex]

The plugin didn't work

[boreal ravine]

#discord-bots message

[tiny ibex]

So?

[soft lynx]

the code works, except its still sending the roles which users within the server already have

[boreal ravine]

"This project is currently under development. We do not guarantee it works."
make a issue on the github

[soft lynx]

for example, i have this role:

[tiny ibex]

"The code works for my friend"
#discord-bots message

[boreal ravine]

so?

[soft lynx]

but the message still contains it

[tiny ibex]

Why is it not working for me

[slate swan]

",".join([ ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).mention for role_id in role_ids if not len(ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).members) > 0])```

[boreal ravine]

i mean it worked didnt it

it gave a wav file

[slate swan]

!e py if len([]): print("works")

[unkempt canyon]

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

[No output]

[slate swan]

yea it should work

[tiny ibex]

The wav file is not the recording

[soft lynx]

its still displaying roles users have,

[slate swan]

how can i make command that changes commands language cuz i dont wonna have problem with sameone who dont understanding polish sentensens sorry for my grammar spelling and english

has this ever happend to anyone?

[soft lynx]

yes, just wait it out

[slate swan]

you got ratelimited and that mostly only happens with reddit users lol

[boreal ravine]

reddit users

[slate swan]

its a discord client

[boreal ravine]

get ratelimited L

[tiny ibex]

Do not use shared IP

[slate swan]

ive never had it happen with users or bots

good thing i use pycharm now

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

?

[tiny ibex]

Use kill 1 in shell

[slate swan]

why?

[tiny ibex]

And run again

[boreal ravine]

you can get rate limited on any ide

[slate swan]

a translater or aliases for a command?

[boreal ravine]

it doesnt make a difference

[tiny ibex]

It will kill the envoirenment and give you a new IP

[slate swan]

ik but replit users mostly get for no reason cause of the shared ip addresses

okay why tho

OH THATS WHY

[boreal ravine]

they just said why?

[tiny ibex]

You got rate limited from the API

[slate swan]

i mostly dont make many request so i probably wouldn't get ratelimited anyways

yeah ik
