[potent spear]

right

[exotic kite]

then tell-

[maiden fable]

Dude, you cannot go around telling people to google things. There is a reason they come here for help

[exotic kite]

fr

[potent spear]

first of all are your parameters wrong
when doing a simple 1v1 game, you can just have a command where you challenge another member, it wouldn't be a good ideae to challenge yourself (pass that as an argument ) and someone else in a command

[exotic kite]

can u just give the damn code

ill learn okay jesus christ

[potent spear]

I'll give you directions

[exotic kite]

nty

im better not asking help from you

[slate swan]

Sadly we don't code for you. We guide you and help you facing issues.

[maiden fable]

Well I don't think anyone will spoonfeed u here since u don't learn by that

[potent spear]

there you have it

[near sedge]

why fight

fight = bad

[potent spear]

he's just stubborn

[maiden fable]

We just telling him that none will spoonfeed

[junior verge]

Anyone?

[near sedge]

fair enough

[maiden fable]

no help with music bots, sorry

[junior verge]

Oh.

[near sedge]

do you know how to use mongodb?

[maiden fable]

sort of, I used it a long time ago

Tho the question will better be suited in #databases

[near sedge]

i asked and got ghosted 💀

[maiden fable]

Ouch

[potent spear]

use an async wrapper asap

if you know basic CRUD operations, you'll get far

[maiden fable]

Calm down

[potent spear]

it'll save him time in the long run

[maiden fable]

Not much advantage by using motor since its just pymongo with asyncio

[near sedge]

i will i just wanna know why

profile = {
            "userId":ctx.message.author.id,
            "userTag":ctx.message.author,
            "balance":0
        }
collection.insert(profile)

this wont insert

after adding balance it didn't insert anymore

[maiden fable]

yo btw use str(ctx.author) and ctx.author.id

Could be that's the problem? ctx.message.author is a discord.User/discord.Member object

[potent spear]

only the id is enough

[maiden fable]

And yea, that too

[potent spear]

userTags can change overtime

[near sedge]

it isn't sadly it inserted just fine with them

then with balance it just stopped

[maiden fable]

u got an error handler?

[near sedge]

nope the bot just doesn't output anything

[maiden fable]

hmm

Sorry bruv, I haven't used PyMongo that much... Try asking in #databases

[potent spear]

can you show us the insert that DOES work?

[near sedge]

sure

profile = {
            "userId":ctx.message.author.id,
            "userTag":ctx.message.author
        }
collection.insert(profile)

[near sedge]

its aight

[potent spear]

where do you get your info from? which site?

[maiden fable]

he is making an economy bot

[near sedge]

its my own code

[potent spear]

no, I want to know where you learned to use mongodb

[near sedge]

but documentation info i got it from the docs and this guy on youtube called techwithtim

[maiden fable]

Ah

U using MongoDB Atlas?

[near sedge]

i haven't really messed around with databases that much so its quite new to me

[near sedge]

yep

[slate swan]

hey i am using the bot.group to have sub help commands like this
!help sound
but i want to make an error handler if the user uses a argument which isnt a part of the help group example
!help dsds
even if !help dsds is used to responds with the og help command

[maiden fable]

https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html#inserting-a-document

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand why not use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

class discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand(*args, **kwargs)```
The base implementation for help command formatting.

Note

Internally instances of this class are deep copied every time the command itself is invoked to prevent a race condition mentioned in [GH-2123](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/2123).

This means that relying on the state of this class to be the same between command invocations would not work as expected.

[potent spear]

the docs I see, are only using insert_one or insert_many
idk where he gets the insert from

[maiden fable]

yea, that is what I was also seeing ngl

[near sedge]

its worked with both

[maiden fable]

could be a shortcut method

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    badword = ["fuck", "shit"]
    for word in badword:
        if word in message.content:
            await message.delete()
    await bot.process_commands(message)

the code isnt working

[potent spear]

what's your message?

[maiden fable]

u do message.content.lower()

[slate swan]

still does not work

[slate swan]

awdsdfucksadaw

[potent spear]

the if statement can also be shorted
if any(list comprehension here):

[maiden fable]

Yea that too

[slate swan]

if any(badword) in message.content.lower():?

[potent spear]

no

[maiden fable]

no

any([word for word in badwords if word in message.content.lower()])

[slate swan]

do slash commands consume more memory than normal commands?

[potent spear]

also, censoring can be nice, but users will always be smarter

[maiden fable]

No, I don't think so

[lament mesa]

generator expression will also work :)

[potent spear]

example? not relevant to this case ofc

[maiden fable]

Oh didn't know

[slate swan]

i dont know why but nothing works.. i also enabled member intents

[maiden fable]

do u have messages intent?

[lament mesa]

(i for i in ...) <-- generator expression, this will return a generator

[slate swan]

yes i do

[potent spear]

I feel like your on_message event isn't even triggering, you probably have another event overwriting it, if I were to guess

[slate swan]

i meant to say messages intents... im just sick af sorry

[maiden fable]

mind showing your intents?

[slate swan]

yes, am i not able to do a few of them?

[maiden fable]

ah

[potent spear]

boom

[maiden fable]

that's the issue

use @bot.listen("on_message") and then name your functions something else

[slate swan]

@bot.listen()
async def badwords(message):
    badword = ["fuck", "shit"]
    if any(word for word in badword if word in message.content.lower()):
        await message.delete()
    await bot.process_commands(message)

ill guess ill make a listen event

[maiden fable]

also remove the await bot.process_commands after doing this

[slate swan]

yes, this is what i wanted to do

[potent spear]

you're a smart guy

[maiden fable]

Sure he is

[slate swan]

yayy

it worked

[maiden fable]

Cool!

[slate swan]

thank you all guys

[maiden fable]

Also @slate swan

[manic wing]

yw

[slate swan]

yes?

[maiden fable]

Prevent using @bot.event. Prefer using @bot.listen() since the bugs are lesser with it

[slate swan]

ok, thanks!

[potent spear]

only thing missing is the return in the if statement
you don't need to do anything else if there was a bad word in that text I guess
Also, since the event is that small, you'd be better of just adding it to the other on_command

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = bot.get_channel(928979145365549097)
    await channel.send(f"Welcome, {member.mention} to CactusDM server!")

also i have no clue why this does not work

[maiden fable]

members intent

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[slate swan]

i do have that on

[potent spear]

you don't

[maiden fable]

in code also?

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

you don't

impossible

[slate swan]

intents=discord.Intents.all()

[potent spear]

and now in the bot constructor too?

[slate swan]

you mean in the developer portal?

[potent spear]

last line of this codeblock

commands.Bot(....., intents = intents)

[slate swan]

i am trying this

wait a sec

[potent spear]

It'll work, ofc

[slate swan]

still nothing

[potent spear]

code?

intents + bot constructor + discord portal

[slate swan]

from discord import Intents


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

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '!', help_command=None, case_insensitive=True, intents=intents)

[potent spear]

cool, and now the discord portal

[potent spear]

restart the bot and it'll work

[slate swan]

nothing

[potent spear]

you don't have 2 bot instances, do you?

[slate swan]

that is all

[potent spear]

hmm

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[potent spear]

do that, don't leak token

[potent spear]

I hope this is for the correct bot

[maiden fable]

You most probably have another function named on_member_join

[slate swan]

yes it is xD

[slate swan]

yes i do

[potent spear]

my god

[maiden fable]

(: that is the issue

[potent spear]

I thought he learned his lesson after the on_message lol

[maiden fable]

You are shadowing functions

[slate swan]

i didnt know you were not able to do the same event twice, i just dont like messing my code up lol

[slate swan]

well

[potent spear]

just organize one function, you can put it all in one
having a lot of small functions can be quite useless too sometimes

[maiden fable]

That's why I introduced you to @bot.listen() (:

He is such a gentleman

[slate swan]

well i am not so stupid i promise

thanks, i learnt the lesson now

[maiden fable]

Its fine haha

[potent spear]

one last useful fact: you enabled presence intents in the dev portal, but never enabled them in your code
just toggle that off in the dev portal

[polar ice]

Ive made my own function, is it possible to get the guild_id?

[manic wing]

wot

[maiden fable]

sure

u can simply do guild.id where guild is an instance of discord.Guild

[polar ice]

async def update_global_variables(setting, guild_id):
            global server_guild_id
            global server_name
            global server_location

            server_guild_id = client.get_guild(guild_id)
            print(server_guild_id)

server_guild_id just prints None

[manic wing]

and you thing he understands that? xD

[manic wing]

print(guild_id)

[polar ice]

Prints None 😄

[manic wing]

means you didnt pass anything

global 😢

[maiden fable]

means u passed None***

[potent spear]

you actually want to use botvars, you'll thank yourself for that later on
you most likely are making a bot for only one guild

[maiden fable]

but if u wanna make linters happy, then u will have to subclass the bot class haha

[polar ice]

@potent spear Im hoping to get it into a couple of guilds. my first time trying it 🙂

[manic wing]

not anything = nothing = none

[potent spear]

storing guild_ids etc for what purpose?

[polar ice]

Im trying to get it to compare it to a database to retrieve all the server information 🙂

[potent spear]

alright, the only thing you can store there is maybe the ID

the rest, you can simply acquire by getting the guild via the ID

[polar ice]

for example

[potent spear]

the guild name etc can be edited, no need to store that

guild ID is all you need

in the GUILDS table

[polar ice]

Any idea how i can get the guild id from what i have above? 🙂

[potent spear]

tell us what you're trying and we'll simplify it for you

[polar ice]

@potent spearIts for a game. logs all the kills and stores all the data from the server.

Im trying to save all the data on a database like above (Very basic so far) but using the guild_id as the unique code for each server

[potent spear]

you're a smart guy with some coding background, am I correct?

like a bit of SQL, not too much python

[polar ice]

Little 🤣 my first time trying to make a bot which can hopefully go into a few guils

[potent spear]

well, have you ever used commands before?

[polar ice]

commands?

[potent spear]

this is an example of a command

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[potent spear]

see what the bot did? based on the command, it responded with a message

[polar ice]

yeah ive made commands 😄

[potent spear]

alright, is your db implemented in your bot already?

[polar ice]

Yeah it is, but i can easily change it

[potent spear]

what library are you using?

[polar ice]

discord.py and aiomysql

[potent spear]

alright, I'm starting to like this

does your bot have a botvar with a db?
like bot.db = await aiomysql.connect(...)

so you can access the db wherever the bot is?

[polar ice]

Yes sir!

[potent spear]

excellent

alright, so your DB structure should have 2 tables

[potent spear]

3 tables actually

guilds, members and userstats

[polar ice]

okay?

[potent spear]

guilds has guildID
members has user ID

and userstats has guildID userID kills, etc etc

[kindred drum]

yo anyone got an idea how I can search through this message? its an embed ```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_raw_reaction_add(self, payload: discord.RawReactionActionEvent):
if payload.member.bot:
return
channel = bot.get_channel(payload.channel_id) or await bot.fetch_channel(payload.channel_id)

    if str(payload.emoji) == "✅":
        msg = await channel.fetch_message(payload.message_id)


        ```

[potent spear]

userstats has a relation with the guilds table and the members table
so whenever a guild gets deleted, all the info gets deleted from the userstats table too

[polar ice]

👀 gotcha

[potent spear]

userstats table can have columns with the same memberID, but a different guildID, you see?
the same user has different stats on different guilds

[potent spear]

message.embeds[0], first check if it contains embeds ofc
then you can access the shit from the embed via its attributes

[polar ice]

😮 ahh ofcourse

[potent spear]

you just need a good DB structure and you're all set

[polar ice]

Ill re srtucture my DB like how youve said

Yeah, see i had an idea of storing all the bot details in one table

version, color, tag lines .etc

then the server details in another

[kindred drum]

I didn't pass message

and I don't think I can

[polar ice]

guild_id,admin_id, any server settings

[potent spear]

msg...

[polar ice]

then all the player info

[potent spear]

you can put that in the GUILDS table, the specific guild settings
but storing shit that can change is a no-go, like the guild name etc

[polar ice]

Gotcha 🙂 ill have a play

Appreciate the advice

Going to re-strcuture now

[potent spear]

make sure the playerstats are in relation with the other 2 tables, so if anything gets removed from the guilds or users table, the stats get deleted too

[polar ice]

Do you have any idea why it wasn't retrieving the guild id from the code i sent above? just for future reference

[potent spear]

I haven't seen the implementation of that method, you probably used it wrong

[polar ice]

Confusing tables. think i get what you mean

async def update_global_variables(setting, guild_id):
            global server_guild_id
            global server_name
            global server_location

            server_guild_id = client.get_guild(guild_id)
            print(server_guild_id)

server_guild_id just prints None

[potent spear]

and now show me where you use it

also, don't use global variables here

[polar ice]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

[polar ice]

be easier if i show you the whole function?

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

[potent spear]

mhm

alright, so you want to keep the db connection for as long as the bot is running, you don't want to connect to the db whenever you need it

[polar ice]

Yeah i had that in mind, wasnt sure the exact way to do it. at the moment im connectnig to the DB everytime i need to do something

Also ignore the f-strings i just quickly typed it up to see if i could get it working. i need to convert all my f-string querys 🙂

[potent spear]

you're a smart guy

you see line 30, right? in the paste url

[polar ice]

yeah

[potent spear]

put this above it and give me the output

print(f"{guild_id}, {type(guild_id)}")

[polar ice]

hey sorry back:)

@potent spear Its 0 and a Int

[quaint epoch]

would this work? py @bot.command async def overwrite(ctx, member_id: int, to_dict: str) perms = ast.literal_eval(to_dict) if "dict" in type(perms): pass else: raise ValueError("Invalid dict for overwrite permissions") member = await ctx.guild.fetch_member(member_id) perms = {"send_messages":False, "read_messages": True} overwrite = discord.PermissionOverwrite() for i in perms.keys(): overwrite[i] = perms.get(i) await ctx.message.channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=overwrite)

bc the user inputs a dict of perms and i need to push those perms onto a different user

[potent spear]

well, obviously a guild with ID 0 doesn't exist...

[slate swan]

try it 💀

[quaint epoch]

i did

[slate swan]

then what happened

[quaint epoch]

it just kept saying that TypeError

[slate swan]

post the error if there's any

[slate swan]

post full error

[quaint epoch]

that type object cannot be iterated over

[polar ice]

@potent spearNo, exactly 😄

[potent spear]

then problem solved
you're just passing a bad argument to that function ...

[median gale]

are we allowed to send links to our bots here?

[quaint epoch]

here

[median gale]

i made a bot that gets reddit memes, weather, math from wolfram alpha, advice, jokes and stuff

[tidal hawk]

Coool

[tidal hawk]

I think so

[quaint epoch]

Can someone help me?

[median gale]

ok

type ?help to get started

[quaint epoch]

wait

[median gale]

sup

[final iron]

Not the right channel

Or Discord server for that fact

[median gale]

oh

[slate swan]

advertising your bot really?

[median gale]

thats not allowed?

im tryna get feedback

[slate swan]

no

[median gale]

oh ill delete it

[slate swan]

show your code we can feedback on that

[median gale]

btw did u guys know nasa has a bunch of cool apis, i use one for my bot called apod, shows astronomy picture of the day, really cool

[slate swan]

nah i didnt knew that seems cool

[final iron]

Damn

[boreal ravine]

ot but I'm thinking of making a chair API

[final iron]

They have a ton of public api's

I'm going to implement some

[boreal ravine]

F

[potent spear]

I don't like useless API's that much 🙂

[stray thistle]

does anyone use repl.it ? Idk how to import a fork like disnake

[final iron]

Just import it like you would import discord.py

import disnake

[boreal ravine]

install it in the package manager/shell

[potent spear]

error says it all

[median gale]

ya heres an example photo

[slate swan]

pretty nice

[stray thistle]

I don’t think there is one

[stray thistle]

It doesn’t work

[slate swan]

So what do I have to do

[boreal ravine]

there is

[final iron]

@slate swan Here are all of their available api's https://api.nasa.gov/

[stray thistle]

Oh I’ll check then

[median gale]

any good free apis u guys know of?

[slate swan]

thank you

[boreal ravine]

theres a button called shell and theres a button for the package manager

[median gale]

ya i use the one called apod, but there r some others too

[slate swan]

give the bot permission?

[stray thistle]

I’ll look into it, thanks

[slate swan]

Ye but this error because the bot has no permissions on the server?

[boreal ravine]

jeyyapi (images), some-random-api, public apis github, waifu.im (sfw, nsfw, images)

[final iron]

Yes

[slate swan]

oke thx

[slate swan]

😳

[potent spear]

give the bot correct permissions
chances are, you're editing or kicking an owner / a user with more(higher) permissions than the bot

[final iron]

.bm

[slate swan]

Yes, but once I gave a link with a bot invitation where they were marked so that 3 permissions I gave only now with just the administrator's injuries and some people have a bot from the administrator's prermison and some do not

[boreal ravine]

Do ?tag apis in the dpy server for more apis lol

[potent spear]

well, just know that the bot can't edit shit from a user with a higher role

[final iron]

^ https://gist.github.com/Soheab/332ba85f8989648449c71bdc8ef32368

Crunchyroll api

[slate swan]

But because the bot does not have administrator rights on all servers, it freezes the bot

[final iron]

[slate swan]

.bm

[slate swan]

.bm

😳

[final iron]

I got a lot of work to do now

Thats a shit ton of api's

[slate swan]

How do I get message creation date and how accurate it is(is it accurate down to the minute or down to a second or more)?

[hoary palm]

Guys, it's normal that I'm trying to make a bot through my phone, but when I completely prescribe a command without errors, I get an error.
(My PC just broke down)

[slate swan]

so what should i do now because i'm desperate every 2 days i get kicked out of the bot because of this. That some have it added to the admin's stuff. Some don't. I have to kick the bot from all servers and tell them to add again?

[final iron]

!d discord.Message.created_at

    await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.author)``` hello how can i change permission that ctx author can read this and write

[spring flax]

How does one get the message intents?

[crude orchid]

How to start coding with python ? (yes new )

[magic stump]

discord.dev

[slate swan]

is there any package i can use for the discord.py buttons?

[magic stump]

and this ```py

intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", help_command = None, intents=intents)```

[spring flax]

only bots in 75+servers will need it to process messages right?

[magic stump]

idk

[magic stump]

.

[vivid patio]

#discord-bots message

[crude orchid]

👍

[vivid patio]

check Pins for more information

[slate swan]

most forks have buttons

[slate swan]

can you name one?

[slate swan]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

[slate swan]

thanks!

yw

[fringe harness]

yo

[slate swan]

hi

[fringe harness]

can we talk in dms?

ur choice

[slate swan]

for what exactly?

[fringe harness]

just to clear up confusion from the past

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def button(ctx):
  await ctx.send(
    "Please Verify yourself",
    components = [
      Button(label='✔ Verify')
    ]
  )
  interaction = await bot.wait_for("button_click", check=lambda i: i.component.label.startswith("Click"))
  await interaction.respond(content="Button Clicked!")

[slate swan]

reddit memes
did you use PRAW or did you send your own requests to the API?

[quick gust]

because your component label doesn't start with what u specified.

[crude orchid]

Thanks that help me alot but still confus where to code on android 😶

[magic stump]

    await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.author)``` hello how can i change permission that ctx author can read this and write

[slate swan]

do it in an actual console to get the full traceback lol

[slate swan]

what should i change it to?

[slate swan]

Buy a PC honestly. A semi-decent laptop goes for around $300. Coding on phone isn't worth it.

[quick gust]

whatever your button lable is

[crude orchid]

🥲

[slate swan]

well, it is ✔ Verify

i just dont get it, where should i change something?

sorry if i sound stupid this is my first time with buttons

[slate swan]

Start saving up. It can be as low as $150 depending on where you live.

[crude orchid]

True but I need bot rn 🥲

[manic wing]

not true

theres no such thing as a tempbot

[crude orchid]

[quick gust]

in the check,

i.component.label.startswith("")

[vivid patio]

the thing about coding on phone is you can do it on the go. instead of dragging your laptop or desktop pc with you

[slate swan]

Well can't you wait until you have enough money for a PC?

If not, try repl.it or Heroku to run your code. Honestly I would still say it's not worth it but if you wanna do it, that's up to you. Good luck

[boreal ravine]

Oof 150 USD here is like 600 of my currency here

[slate swan]

i still get the same error

[slate swan]

Except you'll be missing out on hundreds of things. Coding on phone is just lame. There are hundreds of reasons why you shouldn't do such a thing.

[vivid patio]

mind sharing few reasons?

[boreal ravine]

Invisible characters

[crude orchid]

Just let me try to code on android if that is possible 😶

[boreal ravine]

Oof

[boreal ravine]

I've seen around 6 people that code on mobile and ask for help about invisible character errors here

[slate swan]

@quick gust tried also this response = await bot.wait_for("button_click")

[quick gust]

idk

sorry

[boreal ravine]

Just use a fork

[final iron]

Reading code is impossible, people always have indentation errors, its annoying and auto correct

[slate swan]

i am using discord-components

[slate swan]

thanks anyways 🙂

[slate swan]

• difficulty in typing
• as a result, you'll be working slower
• phones generally have lower specs than even cheap PCs, as a result you'll have lots of difficulties in coding anything more than a medium-sized project
• You will never find an IDE on a phone. You'll have to get by using text editors.
• Compilers. You won't be able to find many compilers out there, and even if you do, you know how slow and power-consuming they can be when running on a phone
• Smaller screen
• as a result of the reason above, coding for hours on a phone will strain your eyes
• you won't be able to take advantage of features such as debugger, etc
• you also won't be able to see a lot of lines of code, hence it'll be harder to write and debug your code

etc.

[boreal ravine]

That aint a fork, end of discussion

[quick gust]

switch to a fork, it will be much more stable

[slate swan]

There's no substitute for a cursor and a keyboard. Coding on a phone just feels uncomfortable.

[vivid patio]

good point

[slate swan]

idk this shi buttons are very hard to make

[lost lagoon]

hello

[slate swan]

i learnt how to make some with that package

[lost lagoon]

would anyone know how to use
https://opentdb.com/browse.php?query=general&type=Question#

[quick gust]

also does discord.py not have buttons

!d discord.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

auto correct can be disabled but yeah good points

[vivid patio]

have you tried termux?

[final iron]

Auto correct is useful in day to day life so it would be annoying going back and forth enabling it then disabling it

[crude orchid]

So which app to use for coding (until buys laptop 🥲 )

[random kelp]

@commands.command()
async def eee(ctx,user : discord.Member,*,role: discord.Role):
    await user.add_roles(role)

[final iron]

I would ask in #editors-ides

[boreal ravine]

they aren't, just learn how to use them like how you learned how to use python

[random kelp]

why this not working

[slate swan]

I did in like 2017. Pretty annoying I must say.

[boreal ravine]

follow pep8 when?

[slate swan]

Use QuickEdit, it has syntax highlighting.

[random kelp]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "eee" is not found

[slate swan]

it's discord.Client.command()

[vivid patio]

gotta agree with the annoying part.. but it can basically run almost everything like a Linux machine.

[boreal ravine]

Why are you using commands.command? You should only use be using that inside cogs

[random kelp]

waittt

[crude orchid]

Ooh okk

[spring flax]

[unkempt canyon]

This function takes into consideration the following cases...

[spring flax]

what happened to permissions_in?

[boreal ravine]

it returns the members permissions in the channel

uh not sure

[random kelp]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

[final iron]

Your bot needs permissions

[random kelp]

huh

what perm

[boreal ravine]

@spring flax removed

[final iron]

I don't know

Check the docs for whatever you're trying to do

[boreal ravine]

Hierachy

[random kelp]

he has admin

[boreal ravine]

The bot role must be above the role you wanna give to the member

[random kelp]

ya

thats the point

[boreal ravine]

yes?

[random kelp]

i think so

[spring flax]

how do I get the permissions which are True?

[boreal ravine]

go check lol

[spring flax]

I currently did indiviudal_perm = [perm for perm in perm_list].
I'd expect indiviudal_perm = [perm for perm in perm_list if perm is True] to work but apparently not

[boreal ravine]

check if using an if statement, ```py
x = True

if x: #will execute if x is truthy
...

[boreal ravine]

just remove is True

It should work

[spring flax]

didn't work, same outcome

[boreal ravine]

hm

@spring flax ah

you gotta index perm

[boreal ravine]

[perm for perm in perm_list if perm[1]] 
``` perm returns a list of tuples, first value is the perm name and the second value is a bool

[random kelp]

is there any way to bypass that

[boreal ravine]

nope

[random kelp]

huh are you sure

[boreal ravine]

yes..?

[spring flax]

ah thanks

[boreal ravine]

👍

[slate swan]

Unless you are a Discord engineer and edit the code of their API you can't change it

[pliant gulch]

You need member intents in order to receive member_join from the gateway

!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.

[pallid marsh]

i have them enabled in both the dev portal and the code

[pliant gulch]

Can you show your client's constructor

[pallid marsh]

wdym

[pliant gulch]

Show the code where you construct the client

[kindred drum]

=yo when I do this line of code ```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_raw_reaction_add(self, payload: discord.RawReactionActionEvent):
if payload.member.bot:
return
channel = bot.get_channel(payload.channel_id) or await bot.fetch_channel(payload.channel_id)

    if str(payload.emoji) == "✅":
        msg = await channel.fetch_message(payload.message_id)
        print(msg.embeds[0])
       ```

<discord.embeds.Embed object at 0x000002D2A4008820> I get that, how do I get it as text

[pallid marsh]

intents.members = True``` this is what i have for the intents

[pliant gulch]

Yea, but show the client's constructor.. The Client(...) or the commands.Bot(...)

[pallid marsh]

this? client = discord.Client(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="for $help"))

[pliant gulch]

Yes

And that's your issue

You never pass intents to your clients constructor

[pallid marsh]

ohh i didn’t know you needed to do that

where do i pass it in

[pliant gulch]

In the constructor

It's a kwarg

!d 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").

[pallid marsh]

is there a certain spot it has to go

[pliant gulch]

It's a kwarg

[frail notch]

How can I make this into a command for my discord bot?
So essentially I want it to go: >id SERVER_ID CHANNEL_ID

[pliant gulch]

It's the same name as what you called the variable

[pliant gulch]

Refer here

[frail notch]

me?

[pliant gulch]

No

[frail notch]

lol

[pliant gulch]

And your code seems to suggest you are selfbotting 🤔

This server doesn't help with selfbots

[frail notch]

i mean im tryna put it into a bot

[pliant gulch]

Then why are you using discum and not a regular wrapper?

[frail notch]

idk its a code i got from github

[pliant gulch]

🤔

[cold sonnet]

HUH

WHAT IS THAT NAME

[pallid marsh]

ah ok thanks @pliant gulch

[pliant gulch]

Just the name of the selfbot patched wrapper ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frail notch]

whats a patched wrapper 😂

[pliant gulch]

A wrapper specifically made to make selfbots work again

If your making a regular bot. Use a regular wrapper

E.g discord.py

[kindred drum]

yo when I do this line of code ```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_raw_reaction_add(self, payload: discord.RawReactionActionEvent):
if payload.member.bot:
return
channel = bot.get_channel(payload.channel_id) or await bot.fetch_channel(payload.channel_id)

    if str(payload.emoji) == "✅":
        msg = await channel.fetch_message(payload.message_id)
        print(msg.embeds[0])
       ```

<discord.embeds.Embed object at 0x000002D2A4008820> I get that, how do I get it as text

[frail notch]

oooh ok

thx

now time to learn to code in python ig... aka learn to do something else then print("hello")

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.Embed.to_dict

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.to\_dict

[frail notch]

Could anyone link me to some kinda tuto to code a bot similar to restorecord which would allow me to re-add users to my discord server if it get's raided? (using oauth2)

[cold sonnet]

you did something really fricking wrong

[slate swan]

how can i host my own discord bot? i bought vps but what next?

[kindred drum]

fixed 😎

[frail notch]

I would recommend danbot hosting - its reliable

[pliant gulch]

SSH into your VPS, transfer the source code of your bot over to the VPS, then run the bot

The VPS might not keep alive though, if you on linux you can just use screen

[slate swan]

how can i transfer this code? [i'm beginner]

[pliant gulch]

Host the source code somewhere you can access or do an FTP which might be more complicated

E.g if you have your bot's source code on a github repo, clone the repo from your VPS

[slate swan]

thanks

RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

Anyone know what this means?

[pliant gulch]

You forgot to await a coroutine

[slate swan]

[apt --fix-broken install] why its dosent work?

[slate swan]

json["fields"][0]["name"] returns 'ID'

json is supposed to be your JSON object variable of course. And 0 is the index of which field you want to read data from.

[surreal sierra]

Hey, how do I check last letter in a command?
Not sure what is the best way to explain this, but I have a remind command. I want the bot to be able check if I want minutes, hours or days. The way I would do that is by this command -r 2d
d = days
h = hours
m = minutes

So is it possible for the bot to check if gtime ends with D, H or M?

@Bot.command(aliases=["r"])
async def remind(ctx, gtime: int = None, ):
    if gtime is None:
        await ctx.send("GIVE A FFFFFFF TIME IN HOURS WHEN U WANT TO BE REMINDED")
    else:
        await ctx.send(f"I GONNA REMIND U AFTER {gtime} HOURS OR SOMETHING")
        await asyncio.sleep(gtime)
        await ctx.send(f"{ctx.message.author.mention}")

[kindred drum]

that is an embed

[slate swan]

Then you can go for embed.fields[index].name

[slate swan]

!e
x = "32d"
print(x[-1])

SOO my bot's playing the mp3 file once, but this error comes up and it doesnt play again

even tho its in a while loop

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def welcome(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    voice_client: discord.VoiceClient = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, guild = guild)
    audio_source = discord.FFmpegPCMAudio('file.mp3')
    if not voice_client.is_playing():
        while True:
            voice_client.play(audio_source, after = None)
            await asyncio.sleep(10)

Anyone know how to fix?

the bot plays it once i run the command, but then i get: Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid data found when processing input and doesn't play again.

and whenever i run the command manually again, i keep getting this: discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ClientException: Already playing audio.

@pliant gulch

Which prolly means that the while loop is owkring, so is the mp3 the problem?

[meager chasm]

You can shorten the first 3 lines to CTX.voice_client

As for your issue, its likely because voiceclient.play spawns a thread, it won't block till the audio is finished playing

That's what the after callable is for

[slate swan]

oo, the mp3 file itself is 25 seconds, should i timeout for 30 seconds and see what happens?

bc its prolly overlapping audio i think?

[meager chasm]

That should work. Although I would recommend creating a system based on the after callable instead

[slate swan]

wdym a system?

[meager chasm]

Some logic to play audio after the current audio is done playing

Which utilizes the after callable

def play_next(*args):
    voiceclient.play(..., after=play_next)
``` this should loop the audio

[slate swan]

perfect, let me try

[slate swan]

so put everything in a function, put the. timeout outside the function and make it repeat?

[meager chasm]

You won't need a timeout

[slate swan]

Well i want 10 seconds before the audio. repeats lol

[meager chasm]

Oh

[slate swan]

yea

[meager chasm]

That's fine then

You can call time.sleep in the after callable if you need a delay

[slate swan]

What im looking at is:

def play_next(*args):
       ...

while True:
    play_next()
    ayncio.sleep(10)

nvm okay

[meager chasm]

You shouldn't need a while loop at all

def play_next(*args):
    voiceclient.play(..., after=play_next) 


voiceclient.play(..., after=play_next) 

After the audio finishes playing the first time, it will call play_next() which will play audio again, and it will loop

You can add time.sleep(10) before .play in the function to add a delay

[slate swan]

a little lost here, how would the function be called again if you're not manually calling it?

[meager chasm]

It's kinda recursive

the function itself is passed to voiceclient.play in itself

[slate swan]

oo

[meager chasm]

That's a terrible explanation

def recursive(a):
    print(a+1)
    recursive(a+1)
``` take this for example

If you call recursive (1) then it will print 2, then call itself and print 3 and so on

[slate swan]

so: the after plays the file again

umhmm

[meager chasm]

Yep

[slate swan]

perfecto

lemme try

[green bluff]

join / leave msg pls

do i do on_member_join?

[slate swan]

nvm it started playing after 30 seconds

but

[slate swan]

Yep

once the bot finishes playing the file, it leaves, rejoins the voicechat. You can hear the 'diding' thing on discord

its like for a split second

Make sure you enable intents though.

[green bluff]

@slate swan where r u hosted on bro u have like 24/7 help

yea sure

[slate swan]

x)

I simply like to help :)

[meager chasm]

Could you send the code

[green bluff]

its client.event() right @slate swan

[slate swan]

No (), other than that it's correct.

[green bluff]

@slate swan sorry a second

[slate swan]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def welcome(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    voice_client: discord.VoiceClient = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, guild = guild)
    audio_source = discord.FFmpegPCMAudio('file.mp3')
    def play_next(*args):
        voice_client.play(audio_source, after = play_next)

    await asyncio.sleep(30)
    voice_client.play(audio_source, after = play_next)

the bot just leaves, rejoins, leaves, rejoins, leaves, rejoins, and then finally leaves

[meager chasm]

That's weird

[green bluff]

@slate swan what do i do next

[slate swan]

Print the member argument, that's will be the member who joined the guild.

[slate swan]

Can i add the function with a timeout in after?

would that work?

[dapper cobalt]

Happy birthday, @slate swan!

[slate swan]

Can I take my day off from helping now?

[meager chasm]

def play_next(error):
    print(error)
    voiceclient.play(..., after=play_next) 
 ``` set the function to this, see if it prints anything

[dapper cobalt]

No, I got work to do.

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

the bot stopped joining the channel lol

it doesnt even join the channel anymore]=

lemme reset it

[frail notch]

Ok I can't figure this one out... my bot has all perms, admin + all the others checked individually. Can someone help me understand why I'm getting this error?

[slate swan]

Yes, and add (member)

[green bluff]

yup then

[slate swan]

What are you trying to do with the bot?

[green bluff]

get_channel_id channel.send('welcome')

there?

[slate swan]

For that you'd need to use get_channel

[frail notch]

It restores members in the server in case of a raid

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.get_channel

[green bluff]

yes i did

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

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

Note

This does *not* search for threads.

[slate swan]

Then you can send, yep

[slate swan]

Yeah but what are you trying? Banning, nicknaming, etc.

[kindred drum]

How do I make a string a id I can use to do x y z in discord py, like if I have a read a id and its now a string in a variable, how do I reassign it into a usable way

[frail notch]

re-adding the user to the serv

[meager chasm]

I guess you'll have to add a check that makes sure you arent trying to connect to a channel which you're already connected to

[slate swan]

You can't make users join servers with your bot.

[green bluff]

pylance cant access

[frail notch]

i mean it uses oauth2 and it got the perms on my account to do it

[green bluff]

member @slate swan

[ebon island]

Is there a way to get a list of aliases bound to the commands on a server? I am using self.client.commands currently, but I was hoping to access the aliases as well so I can list those as well

[slate swan]

It's right though

[green bluff]

proabbly cause i have to use member

[slate swan]

Now you can continue by enabling intents and then you're done.

[slate swan]

And its only 1 specific channel its bugging

[kindred drum]

yo whats the statement to get an user from an id? bot.fetch_user_id?

[slate swan]

Haven't used that, but I think the python library has nothing to do with oauth

You'd need an oauth connection to be able to join a server, so via a website for example.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_user

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

[frail notch]

Wanna have a look at the code of the bot?

[green bluff]

@slate swan would this work

[slate swan]

await when sending, then yes.

[slate swan]

Yep - now you'll need to enable intents

[green bluff]

intents?

[slate swan]

Go to your developer dashboard, click on your application and to the left click on "Bot"

[kindred drum]

its undefined 😭

[slate swan]

Then enable the "Server Members Privileged Intent"

[frail notch]

i mean oauth2 and requests

[slate swan]

Then use fetch_user instead

[hushed rain]

I need help saving discord request.get and printing it in a payload to send text to discord. Can anyone help?

[slate swan]

Don't use the requests library in an async library like discord.py

[frail notch]

oh

alr

[green bluff]

where

[slate swan]

"Bot"

Then enable the members privileged intent shown

[dire folio]

is there a limit on how old a message can be to edit it

[green bluff]

done

[slate swan]

No

[green bluff]

now will it work

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[slate swan]

See the code part, you also need that.

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]

Yep

You can try it out

[meager chasm]

Why don't you use discord.py for this? Would make things much easier

[slate swan]

Well, you're just sending messages right here.

So the bot apparently doesn't have permissions to send in these channels?

[hushed rain]

I want to link the two

the Retrieve messages and the send messages

to send a message when it receives one

[green bluff]

nothing @slate swan

the bot said nothing

[slate swan]

Then you need a websocket connection to listen to messages sent.

[slate swan]

Code?

[green bluff]

Especially when you define client

[slate swan]

You haven't enabled in the developer portal.

Enable the one at the bottom

[green bluff]

oops enabled presence intent

thanks it worked

same thing for leave except on_member_leave right

@slate swan

[slate swan]

That one is different, it's on_member_remove

Since the event also gets fired when a user gets kicked or banned from the server, not only when a user leaves the server by themselves.

[pliant gulch]

If you want to check if they only left and wasn't kicked, etc. You could check the audit logs for the user being kicked or banned

[slate swan]

Andy would you be able to help?

[pliant gulch]

Help with what

[slate swan]

So the bot is wokring in every other channel except 1

It joins, rejoins, joins, rejoins, keeps doing that over and over again:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ClientException: Already connected to a voice channel.

[kindred drum]

if str(payload.emoji) == "✅":

                    ```
yo anyone know how to make this get the role? I just can't figure out the correct syntax for it

[pliant gulch]

Probably because this maybe doesn't gracefully close the websocket which is keeping VoiceClient alive

[slate swan]

@client.command()

[slate swan]

How would i fix this?

[pliant gulch]

Well can I see the part where it is playing the audio?

[slate swan]

I havent even played the audio yet

[pliant gulch]

?

[slate swan]

It doesnt even properly join the channel yet

this is the second part

[pliant gulch]

So your bot for some reason thinks it isn't connected to a voice channel, but once it connects it is actually connected already?

[slate swan]

it like joins, leaves, joins, leaves, joins, leaves, then just sits in the vc but it claims that its not in a voicechat

only in 1 specific voice channel

every other voice channel is working fine

[pliant gulch]

For every voice channel other than the buggy one also joining and leaving?

[slate swan]

nop

Just the buggy 1 joining leaving

Every other its working fine

[pliant gulch]

Ok but a weird thing is that voice_client isn't actually a voice client

It's a VoiceProtocol

which doesn't even have a is_connected method

[slate swan]

oo

[kindred drum]

if str(payload.emoji) == "✅":
            msg = await channel.fetch_message(payload.message_id)

[slate swan]

@client.command()

    guild = ctx.guild

    if not voice_client.is_playing():
        while True:
            voice_client.play(audio_source, after = None)

[pliant gulch]

Let me just check again to make sure although

[slate swan]

This is my code where the bot plays audio

I hoped it'll play the audio over and over but it doesnt

so here's the updated:

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def welcome(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    voice_client: discord.VoiceClient = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, guild = guild)
    audio_source = discord.FFmpegPCMAudio('file.mp3')
    def play_next(*args):
        voice_client.play(audio_source, after = play_next)

    await asyncio.sleep(30)
    voice_client.play(audio_source, after = play_next)

but even here it doesn't play the audio over and over

[pliant gulch]

Can you print the voice_client var?

[slate swan]

Lemme try

[pliant gulch]

Not from the welcome command btw

from the leave one

[hushed rain]

Even though its not in the voicechat

When i do -join, i get that in terminal^

But when i say -leave, it claims its not in a voice channel

[pliant gulch]

And are you using this command to connect the bot

[slate swan]

yes

The bot like joins, leaves, joins, leaves so fast =. its for like a split second, do you think its glitching itself out?

[pliant gulch]

Well the issue in logic here would be, VoiceState (author.voice) isn't None meaning they are connected. But you never check if the client is already connected to the voice channel

[slate swan]

ummm

What steps will fix this ?

Should i add another check that makes sure its in the voicechat?

[pliant gulch]

Hmmm, you can try checking if Guild.me which is a Member instance representing the bot and check if it is inside of voice.channel.members

!d discord.Guild.me

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.me

property me: discord.member.Member```
Similar to [`Client.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.user "discord.Client.user") except an instance of [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member"). This is essentially used to get the member version of yourself.

[hushed rain]

Does someone want to hop on a voice call and help a buddy and I with a discord scrapper?

[slate swan]

Just found something out

So

@client.command()
async def join(ctx):
    if not ctx.message.author.voice:
        await ctx.send("{} is not connected to a voice channel".format(ctx.message.author.name))
        return
    else:
        channel = ctx.message.author.voice.channel
        await channel.connect()
        print('Im here')

added a simple print statement to see if its even joining once

Every other voicechat, the bot joins and i get the "im here"

but this bugged voicechat, i dont get the "im here"

which means its not joining at all

The thing is, the bot was joining and working just fine in this vc a couple hours ago, it just started bugging out a few minutes back

[pliant gulch]

Can you set a var to channel.connect() and print that as well?

Since that will return the VoiceClient

[slate swan]

yep

[pliant gulch]

Also maybe the channel has permissions that stop your bot from joining?

[slate swan]

<coroutine object Connectable.connect at 0x7f85be08b340>

stoppd joining every other vc now

[pliant gulch]

You didn't await the connect from what the error is saying

[slate swan]

oop 1 sec

@client.command()
async def join(ctx):
    if not ctx.message.author.voice:
        await ctx.send("{} is not connected to a voice channel".format(ctx.message.author.name))
        return
    else:
        channel = ctx.message.author.voice.channel
        test = channel.connect()
        await test
        print(test)
        print('Im here')

<coroutine object Connectable.connect at 0x7f181d7a1340>
Im here

<discord.voice_client.VoiceClient object at 0x7f181e8e3f10>
disconnected

lets try the buggy vc now

doesnt print anything in terminal

The bot just joins, leaves, joins, leaves

no wait

[pliant gulch]

And if you remove the connect call when in the buggy channel does it print?

[slate swan]

i got something

<coroutine object Connectable.connect at 0x7f181d7a14c0>
Im here

[pliant gulch]

Ok

First of all lets clean up the code

voice_client = await channel.connect()

Then just print(voice_client)

Also keep the last print

[slate swan]

but its not in the vc anymore

like its not physically here

[pliant gulch]

Did you use the leave command right after?

[slate swan]

and when i do -leave, it claims its not in a vc

and i get this:

<discord.voice_client.VoiceClient object at 0x7f181e8e3460>
<discord.voice_client.VoiceClient object at 0x7f181e8e3460>

which is what its supposed to print when its not in a vc

[pliant gulch]

Huh? It prints that when it's not in a VC? I'm sorry but your sorta confusing me

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def leave(ctx):
    voice_client = ctx.message.guild.voice_client
    print(voice_client)
    if voice_client.is_connected():
        await voice_client.disconnect()
        print('disconnected')
    else:
        print(voice_client)
        await ctx.send('I am not connected to a voice channel')```

So when its actually connected to a vc, and i do -leave, its supposed to print voice_client and disconnected

[slate swan]

like it did here

When i was trying on normal voice chats

[green bluff]

#join message
@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{member} welcome to Ace Scrims!", description="Please ping either owner or staff to duel them and find out your 1v1 and 2v2 ping.", colour=0xFF0000)
embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar.url)
channel = client.get_channel(914825862573064222)
await channel.send(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

but when i tried it on the buggy voice chat, it just printed:

<discord.voice_client.VoiceClient object at 0x7f181e8e3460>```

which is the else statement in the command^

[pliant gulch]

So that would probably mean your join command is bugging out perhaps

[slate swan]

yep

[pliant gulch]

It couldn't create the connection in channel.connect

[slate swan]

but only in 1 voice channel, so weird

[green bluff]

can anyone help

[slate swan]

possibly

[pliant gulch]

Does this voice channel have any permissions?

[slate swan]

I gave the bot all the permissions. I then gave all the roles the bot had all the permissions for the vc

still not working

The only thing different here

in this vc is that the role 'member' cannot speak

but the bot doesnt even have that role

[pliant gulch]

Have you restarted the bot at all

[slate swan]

a couple times yes

[kindred drum]

yo whats the correct syntax for this statement role_ids = discord.utils.get(payload.guild.roles, name="Verified")

[slate swan]

the thing is, once i ask the bot to join the buggy vc, it stops working afterwards

like every command is working, but the join command just stops working

even when u try in a different vc

[pliant gulch]

that's weird, what happens if you make a new VC with the same permissions as the buggy voice channel?

Does it also hang or

[slate swan]

Tried in the buggy vc again:

Get this:
<coroutine object Connectable.connect at 0x7f28d42a5240>
Im here

but this comes up in terminal when the bot leaves

[slate swan]

lemme try

[slate swan]

doesnt hang

made a copy of that buggy vc, bot works fine in the copy

so its not discord perms

Btw, i also get this when i shut my bot off after joining the buggy voicechat:

@pliant gulch

[pliant gulch]

Probably because somewhere your bot has a connection open to a voice channel

[pliant gulch]

I guess for now just use the copy of the vc instead of the real vc

This is just a weird issue overall, but right now this seems like the best workaround

[slate swan]

true

[slate swan]

What does this error even mean?

[pliant gulch]

Well, as a discord API maintainer this I can answer

Basically Voice works by a websocket connection, same as the gateway which you receive events from

[slate swan]

umhmm

[pliant gulch]

If you don't close the websocket gracefully the websocket for the voice will try to read the events

[slate swan]

ahh

[pliant gulch]

When infact the websocket is already closed

discord.py may vary but that's how I'd do it in my wrapper

[slate swan]

ummm

interesting

[pliant gulch]

Although I'm not much of an expert on voice stuff

All I know is how the connection is made via websocket

[slate swan]

ahh okay

also,

any clue on why this is not working?

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def welcome(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    voice_client: discord.VoiceClient = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, guild = guild)
    audio_source = discord.FFmpegPCMAudio('file.mp3')
    def play_next(*args):
        voice_client.play(audio_source, after = play_next)

    await asyncio.sleep(30)
    voice_client.play(audio_source, after = play_next)

Basically creates a loop and has a timeout of 30 seconds between each run, but it just loop

[pliant gulch]

I don't think you should do the loop like this

[coral schooner]

I have an embed, but I only want to copy specifically content of this,like 1 field or 2, which is the function? pelea se send documentation if U can, I have the event which is @bot.event

[pliant gulch]

while True:
  if voice_client.is_playing():
    continue

  else:
    voice_client.play(...)
``` then just break out afterwards

[slate swan]

I created a while loop, but that didnt work either

[heavy radish]

Lmao, has been on for more than 12 hours

[slate swan]

Oo, lemme try

[coral schooner]

someone can try to help me pls, im needing it pls

[slate swan]

the thing about this is:

[slate swan]

that spams terminal lol

oh boy

[pliant gulch]

with what

[slate swan]

As for your issue, its likely because voiceclient.play spawns a thread, it won't block till the audio is finished playing
That's what the after callable is for
That should work. Although I would recommend creating a system based on the after callable instead

this is what someone else said before with while loop:

first error:

/home/lol/dsrp.py:59: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'sleep' was never awaited
  asyncio.sleep(10)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

after the voiceclip has ended: this gets sopammed:

[pliant gulch]

You forgot to await

[slate swan]

something spams my terminal really fast after the voiceclips ends

like 1000 threads in 5 seconds

at a point where i cant even stop it

Exception in voice thread Thread-4

This gets spammed

@pliant gulch

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def welcome(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    voice_client: discord.VoiceClient = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, guild = guild)

    while True:
        if voice_client.is_playing():
            continue

        else:
            voice_client.play(audio_source, after = None)
            await asyncio.sleep(10)

the bot plays the audio once, but then just spams the error

[pliant gulch]

Put the discord.FFMpegPCMAudio inside of the loop

[slate swan]

Works, but i get this after every play:
Error while decoding stream #0:0: Invalid data found when processing input

[pliant gulch]

FFMpeg error, I'd refer to google for this one as I'm not to sure other than perhaps setting some sort of flag on your FFMpeg

[light night]

class JDBotContext(commands.Context):
    async def send(self, *args, **kwargs):
        msg = await super().send(*args, **kwargs)
        view = kwargs.get("view")
        if view is not None:
            view.message = msg

        return msg

so I load the custom context

async def get_context(self, message, *, cls=JDBotContext):
        return await super().get_context(message, cls=cls)

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message_edit(self, before, after):
        await self.bot.process_commands(after)

I am looking for a way to be able to edit the message, so when a user edits their message, it will rerun the context 🤔 and not have a new line.
I have a speacil dictionary to help with this anyone got any idea?

[pliant gulch]

Perhaps make your JDBotContext class make a copy of message from get_context, set to a var such as previous etc. Then in your on_message_edit call await previous.delete perhaps?

Err I mean process_commands not on_message_edit

OH WAIT, ignore me this won't work

Hmmm, perhaps storing the message in a dict which the bot can access and referencing that from the on_message_edit to delete it

[light night]

the problem I have to deal with multiple ctx.send calls
from the same command
🤔 with the same base context/message.id

[pliant gulch]

Just capture all the Message objects from ctx.send to a list in the dict where the ID is the key of the original message

Then check in on_message_edit for after.id in the dict

[light night]

🤔 I know that but I am not sure where and how I would edit every one of the ctx.sends?
or the messages?

[pliant gulch]

Aren't you trying to process the command again but delete the old responses? The process_commands in on_message_edit would call the sends in your command

[light night]

🤔 no I want to edit my old responses to the new ones

[pliant gulch]

Then why process_commands here? Just access the message dict and iterate through all the messages stored before hand and call edit

[light night]

cause it's rerunning the context....
it's invoking it again, but properly

[pliant gulch]

Yes I know but that would send the messages again

[light night]

I know.
But it wouldn't let me properly rexecute the commands

[pliant gulch]

Perhaps the easy way to do what you want is to split your command up into another method as well, the method which determines what to send without actually sending? E.g making the content of the message, and or the embed. Then just call it from on_message_edit when it gets dispatched

Then you would get the content, etc whatever you wanted to edit the messages with

Although you might have to do some parsing with the message since you don't get context inside of on_message_edit

[light night]

🤔 you can grab the context easily
await bot.get_context(msg)

[pliant gulch]

Oh right yes, in this case you can do that

I was thinking of just a raw message as I had a wrong picture

[light night]

?

[pliant gulch]

How about ctx.args or ctx.kwargs

Either way should be pretty easy

[light night]

🤔 I am not sure how I would rerun the command though
I would need to make sure to edit them, but the actual commands use ctx.send

or ctx.reply somtimes

[pliant gulch]

If you reran the command it would send the messages again but you want to edit the old messages. If you split the command to have a method which makes the contents or the embed for the message you can just call that method with whatever args kwargs it needs to formulate a response, then use the return of that method to edit your messages

[light night]

the problem is the complexlitly of messages too
for example if someone does an error but edits it, and gets more responses
then there's more messages to edit

[pliant gulch]

I don't think complexity matters here, just migrate the code inside of the command that does the messages to a new method and handle it all in there. You just need to pass ctx.args or ctx.kwargs into this method for the args given to the command

Splitting up the method doesn't change the code just allows you to edit old responses without re-running the command fully

Your only running the specific part that makes the responses, not the part that sends them

[light night]

🤔 it kind of needs to go through the command again

[pliant gulch]

Ok?? ```py
#in command
response = create_responses(args, kwargs)
#send responses here

[pliant gulch]

Again

If you migrate your important code, i.e not the sending parts to this other method

[slate swan]

Is there a way to make the discord bot respond faster?

One of the events deletes messages if the message contains something explicit

But if one spams the text channel and lets say sends 50 messages at once, the bot takes a while to get rid of all the messages

[light night]

do you use bulk delete with proper checks 🤔 ?
A.k.a permission checks and well checking to only delete their message

[slate swan]

oo, i delete each separate message. let me show you the code:

this is a piece right here for example:

@client.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    if message.channel.id == 912962953484066867:
        if not message.author.bot:
            guild = client.get_guild(904489036582879262)
            manager = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Session Manager")
            if not manager in message.author.roles:
                error = 'https://tenor.com/view/error-computer-warning-gif-8680016'
                dm = await message.author.create_dm()
                await dm.send(error)
                await dm.send('**__Hello! Please do not talk in the notification channel! :)__**')
                await message.delete()

1 thing i can do is get rid of creating a dm and just do member.send()

will that make the thing faster?

[storm steppe]

hey how do i dm message author with discord.py

[light night]

user.send
or member.send

fyi
Don't dm users randomly

[storm steppe]

using ctx?

[light night]

ctx.author.send

[storm steppe]

tried that

[slate swan]

@light night Will just doing member.send instead of creating a dm make it faster?

[light night]

you can check if the dm channel exists, but you can probaly remove it
I wouldn't be sure though

[heavy folio]

errors?

!d discord.Member.create_dm

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.create\_dm

if someone spams and sends 50 messages at once, the bot does it one by one and can take a few seconds. No way of making it delete messages faster?
