[torn sail]

Yep

[heavy folio]

oh i got it wrong mv

mb

[slate swan]

do any of yall know how to stop an asyncio command from running?

[slate swan]

return

returns a function and stops the function

[slate swan]

like an asyncio.sleep command

return?

it returns the function which stops it

like I wish to make a timer function to my discord bot

but i want a cancel command

where it stops the timer

well you can make a var and check the var value and stop the command ig

I see thanks

yw

[tender estuary]

My bot has the same pfp as you do wow

[slate swan]

overused

[torn sail]

Oh that’s interesting

[tender estuary]

Any idea how I can make heroku update my .json file...

It simply isn't updating it... When I run the bot locally it does, but when I host in on heroku it does not write in the .json file.

[slate swan]

heroku does not allow you to change any files , it reverts back to its original condition

[tender estuary]

Oh ok

Is there any way I can make this possible?

I'll probably try PostgreSQL

I need a database for economy

[slate swan]

sure , if you want it to stay json like , use mongodb

!pypi motor

[unkempt canyon]

motor v2.5.1

Non-blocking MongoDB driver for Tornado or asyncio

[tender estuary]

oh that'd be great.

thanks..

[pliant gulch]

That won't work since heroku restarts the state of the machine basically

You'd have to get a database hosted not on heroku

Unless heroku has an addon that supports postgres

[slate swan]

a postgres db server maybe?

[pliant gulch]

So as long as it isn't hosted on heroku

[tender estuary]

it does I read somewhere

[pliant gulch]

Then you'd have to use that

[grim oar]

Just pay for him andy

[pliant gulch]

A regular postgres server on heroku would just reset the data after a restart

[grim oar]

You are quite rich

[tender estuary]

I'll surely look into mongodb tho.. I'd like to keep it similar to json

[slate swan]

can you show me an example?

[slate swan]

if value == "something":
    return

[exotic patrol]

I am facing difficulty in updating roles of members when they start/end an activity...

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
  if str(after.activity) == "GAME1":
    if str(before.activity) != "GAME1":
      v = discord.utils.get_role(abc)
      after.add_role(v)
    else:
      pass
  else:
    try:
      if str(after.activity) != "GAME1":
        if str(before.activity) == "GAME1":
          v = discord.utils.get_role(abc)
          after.remove_role(v)
    except:
      pass```

what is wrong here?

[slate swan]

what does the return statement do?

[slate swan]

!return

[unkempt canyon]

Return Statement

When calling a function, you'll often want it to give you a value back. In order to do that, you must return it. The reason for this is because functions have their own scope. Any values defined within the function body are inaccessible outside of that function.

For more information about scope, see !tags scope

Consider the following function:

def square(n):
    return n*n

If we wanted to store 5 squared in a variable called x, we could do that like so:
x = square(5). x would now equal 25.

Common Mistakes

>>> def square(n):
...     n*n  # calculates then throws away, returns None
...
>>> x = square(5)
>>> print(x)
None
>>> def square(n):
...     print(n*n)  # calculates and prints, then throws away and returns None
...
>>> x = square(5)
25
>>> print(x)
None

Things to note
• print() and return do not accomplish the same thing. print() will only print the value, it will not be accessible outside of the function afterwards.
• A function will return None if it ends without reaching an explicit return statement.
• When you want to print a value calculated in a function, instead of printing inside the function, it is often better to return the value and print the function call instead.
• Official documentation for return

[slate swan]

can you no longer read message contents of others when using on_message?

[slate swan]

yes you can

[slate swan]

thanks

I'm coding a game bot using nextcord, and this is the problem I'm facing rn. I have thought of a solution, but I haven't tried it yet.

the solution is that I use a global variable

[exotic patrol]

can anyone help me with this? please

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
  if str(after.activity) == "GAME1":
    print("initiated 1")
#    if str(before.activity) != "VALORANT":
    v = discord.utils.get_role(abc)
    after.add_roles(v)
    print("role updated 1")
  else:
    try:
      if str(after.activity) != "GAME1":
        print("initiated 2")
  #      if str(before.activity) == "VALORANT":
        v = discord.utils.get_role(abc)
        after.remove_roles(v)
        print("role updated 2")
    except:
      pass```

[shadow wraith]

nvm i don't use on_member_update ive actuallynever used it

[exotic patrol]

the issue here is that the code doesn't get processed after printing initiated 1/2

[tender estuary]

what are you trying to do here?

[exotic patrol]

giving a role for certain game when any player starts or ends the game

[tender estuary]

Ok

[exotic patrol]

like if I start game1 then the bot will give me game1 role and when I stop it, it will remove that role

[tender estuary]

how do you start the game1?

[exotic patrol]

no no, I mean the bot reads from the user's activity

[tender estuary]

Oh got it

[exotic patrol]

like we play games on among us or valorant and all

external game...

[tender estuary]

and what is the problem here?

that you are facing?

[shadow wraith]

here

idk how to fix it tho as i've never used on_member_update

[exotic patrol]

the bot reads the activity, prints initiated 1/2 according to the status but does not assign roles

I think I made a mistake around getting the role

[tender estuary]

for getting the role

[exotic patrol]

what should I do for it?

[tender estuary]

try using

get_role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="role name")

[shadow wraith]

wait a fucking second... ive never used on_member_update but do you have a Member object in that event?

[exotic patrol]

yup, we can use before/after as member object

[exotic patrol]

ctx, guild not defined

[tender estuary]

add ctx to the function

[exotic patrol]

let me try that

[slate swan]

stuff dont work like that lmao

[exotic patrol]

I think it takes 2 arguments only

[slate swan]

on_member_update has no context

[tender estuary]

welp I am new to discord.py

[shadow wraith]

oh! then try doing guild = after.guild and then do v = guild.get_role(<id or namestring here>)

[slate swan]

and only takes 2 positional arguments iirc

[exotic patrol]

yup, that's true

[shadow wraith]

nvm im stupid

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_member_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_update

discord.on_member_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• nickname

• roles

• pending...

[slate swan]

see ^

[shadow wraith]

@exotic patrol try this

actually don't since it doesn't exist 😭

[exotic patrol]

let me try

[shadow wraith]

that's another way of "fetching" the role

[slate swan]

how would that work?

[exotic patrol]

yes I tried that too but its the same, I think I had made some syntax error there, so you can send your code and I can try it out

[shadow wraith]

but i remember i used that before ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

after is a member obj which member doesnt have a guild attr?

[tender estuary]

probably in commands

I am doing commands rn... events just too hard for me atm

[slate swan]

on_member_update is a event not a command

[tender estuary]

I know that

[shadow wraith]

🤔 but istg i remember that i used guild.get_role()

[slate swan]

not sure what you ment

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[exotic patrol]

I think it was ctx.guild.get_role()

[slate swan]

prob

[slate swan]

what events exactly

most events are pretty easy

[shadow wraith]

found it!

[slate swan]

the heck

how does that work

[shadow wraith]

istg i think it worked

[exotic patrol]

I'll get back and say if it worked or not because I made this bot for valorant only and I have to wait until someone from the whole server starts the game...

[shadow wraith]

alr

[exotic patrol]

🤝

[tender estuary]

I did not really start events.

Except the on member join and all the ez stuff

Well I see events really give life to the bot I'll start events once I am strong with cmds

[slate swan]

ic gl

[green bluff]

ok i did this simple command to troll my friends

WHY IS NOT WORKING

[slate swan]

you forgot () in the decorator

[green bluff]

omh

im stupudi

[slate swan]

do you have message intents on

!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.

[green bluff]

yes i have intents on

[frank tartan]

@client.command()
async def toggleDM(ctx, status):
    user_id = ctx.author.id
    if status == "disable":
        noDM_list.remove(user_id)
        await ctx.reply("You can now recieve dm's from me.")
    elif status == "enable":
        noDM_list.append(user_id)
        await ctx.reply("You can no longer recieve dm's from me.")
    else:
        await ctx.reply("Please put either `disable` or `enable`")

@client.command()
async def dm(ctx, user:discord.Member,*,message=None):
    user_id = ctx.author.id
    if user in noDM_list:
        await ctx.reply("That user has diabled the ability for me to send them a dm. Send it yourself.")
        return
    else:
        await user.send(f"{message}\n\nSent by <@{user_id}>")
        await ctx.send("DM sent.")

this is my code. When I run ;toggleDM enable, then run dm cibere test I still get the dm. And when I do ;toggleDM disable then run dm cibere test, i still get the dm. I get no error in the console, and I have noDM_list = [] earlier up in the code.
pls ping in replies
I am going to bed... so yeah

[slate swan]

Use pop Instead of remove

Nvm that won't work

Do you have an error handler?

[maiden fable]

@frank tartan u r adding and removing user IDs, but in the dm command, checking the member object

[honest shoal]

I made a timeout command py @bot.command() @disnake.ext.commands.has_permissions(manage_nicknames=True) async def timeout(ctx, member: disnake.Member,time: float, *, reason=None) -> None: await member.timeout(duration=time, reason=reason) await ctx.send(f"{member.mention} has been timed out for {time} Seconds, With the reason of {reason}") Currently it only accept duration in seconds how can I have other duration units??

[slate swan]

you can convert other time units to seconds

and it accepts datetime object too

!d disnake.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.timeout

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

Times out the member from the guild; until then, the member will not be able to interact with the guild.

Exactly one of `duration` or `until` must be provided. To remove a timeout, set one of the parameters to `None`.

You must have the [`Permissions.moderate_members`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Permissions.moderate_members "disnake.Permissions.moderate_members") permission to do this.

New in version 2.3.

[honest shoal]

yea there is one datetime.timedelta but I am not at all familiar with it

[honest shoal]

that will require another parameter which I want to avoid

!d datetime.timedelta

No idea how it works

[slate swan]

its basically a difference between two datetime objects

[honest shoal]

any example for it?

[maiden fable]

!pypi humanize

[unkempt canyon]

humanize v3.13.1

Python humanize utilities

[maiden fable]

@honest shoal u can use this too

[honest shoal]

oh, let me see

[velvet tinsel]

[warm mirage]

i need help

im making a fight bot

like dank memer

but idk how to get the bot to let the player im fighting against like react and fight back

i want the game to loop until a player dies

but the game does the loop but the discord bot responds and plays the game instead of the opponant player

[honest shoal]

well a tried a time converter but still it was accepting as seconds , the new code py @bot.command() @disnake.ext.commands.has_permissions(manage_nicknames=True) async def timeout(ctx, member: disnake.Member,time, *, reason=None) -> None: time_convert = {'s' : 1 , 'm' : 60 , 'h' : 3600 , 'd' : 86400} timeout_time = float(time[0]) * time_convert[time[-1]] await member.timeout(duration=timeout_time, reason=reason) await ctx.send(f"{member.mention} has been timed out for {time}, With the reason of {reason}")

[maiden fable]

Uh why u doing time[0] tho

@honest shoal

[honest shoal]

if time is none

[maiden fable]

And how u invoking the cmd?

[honest shoal]

prefix command

[maiden fable]

The whole invocation

[honest shoal]

Command is working properly it times out the user but in seconds

so there's problem with time converter

[maiden fable]

Try printing timeout_time

[honest shoal]

When I run it from my pc it works fine, but from the host it doesn't

[maiden fable]

Wait, so on heroku u did 1m as timeout?

[honest shoal]

no 10m

and when I tried running directly, it was perfect

[slate swan]

Make sure you've updated the build on Heroku.

[honest shoal]

yes

it is

[maiden fable]

Hmm seems more of a code updation problem rather than the logic/code problem

[honest shoal]

printing of timeout_time was another build, so it doesn't seems like updation problem

wait

I just noticed

for all 2 digits numbers it is accepting as 60, works fine for 1 digit numbers on heroku

and yeah same when I run directly, accepting 2 digit values as 60

@maiden fable

[slate swan]

Well that's normal.

Your code only takes the first character and last character of the argument you give when executing the command.

So if you use with 76s, it will timeout for 7 seconds.

It reads at index 0 (the 7) and at index -1 (the s).

Everything in-between is ignored.

[honest shoal]

when I tried 19m it took as 60 only

[slate swan]

As I said

It takes only the first and last character in consideration.

[honest shoal]

oh yea 1m = 60 s

[maiden fable]

Ah, so u can use slicing

[slate swan]

Slice your string from index 0 to len-1

!e
x = "653m"
print(x[0:len(x)-1])

[unkempt canyon]

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

653

[slate swan]

Instead of a timeout time of time[0]

[daring thicket]

help me for random number command

[honest shoal]

Thanks @maiden fable @slate swan!

[daring thicket]

please help=(

[honest shoal]

what happened?

[daring thicket]

i try to make random number command

but failed

[honest shoal]

explain the behavior of command

[quick gust]

and what u have made rn + the error ^^

[daring thicket]

example: [prefix]random 100 => random from 1 to 100

[quick gust]

okay that's easy

show your code and the error

[quick gust]

and how did u invoke the command?

something like [prefix]random 3?

[daring thicket]

yess

and it is random from 1 to 3

[quick gust]

not sure then

[slate swan]

Type hint your argument to an integer in your command definition.

(ctx, range: int)

All arguments are read as strings per default and you can't use strings in randint.

[green bluff]

why isntthe join message

giving the member a role

[daring thicket]

ty

[green bluff]

@client.event
async def on_member_join(ctx, member):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="", description="If you are looking for something more, read #tier-rules", colour=0x77DD77)
    embed.set_author(name=f'{member} Welcome to Ace Scrims!', icon_url=member.avatar_url)
    role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name='Member')
    channel = client.get_channel(914825862573064222)
    await channel.send(embed=embed)
    await member.add_roles(role)```

code

[slate swan]

on_member_join takes no ctx augment, only a member argument and that's it.

[slate swan]

isnt range a python keyword?

[green bluff]

ctx.guild.roles is not working then

[slate swan]

You can access the guild object with member.guild instead of ctx.guild.

!d discord.Member.guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild

The guild that the member belongs to.

[green bluff]

and also

can i copy role id and do await member.add_roles(<roleid>)?

[slate swan]

hey anybody here?

[green bluff]

would that work @slate swan

[slate swan]

@green bluff how can i make function that will work only in a specific channel

[green bluff]

ooh i actually havent done that in my code yet

so i do not know

[slate swan]

like if channel.name == "word-chain":

[green bluff]

u should ask somebody else

maybe they can get an answer

[slate swan]

ok np

[slate swan]

No

[maiden fable]

Yes it is (Python Function)

[slate swan]

IPAy can u help me with this?

Simply replace ctx.guild with member.guild, and remove the ctx parameter.

[green bluff]

yep thanks

[maiden fable]

!custom-check

[unkempt canyon]

Custom Command Checks in discord.py

Often you may find the need to use checks that don't exist by default in discord.py. Fortunately, discord.py provides discord.ext.commands.check which allows you to create you own checks like this:

from discord.ext.commands import check, Context

def in_any_channel(*channels):
  async def predicate(ctx: Context):
    return ctx.channel.id in channels
  return check(predicate)

This check is to check whether the invoked command is in a given set of channels. The inner function, named predicate here, is used to perform the actual check on the command, and check logic should go in this function. It must be an async function, and always provides a single commands.Context argument which you can use to create check logic. This check function should return a boolean value indicating whether the check passed (return True) or failed (return False).

The check can now be used like any other commands check as a decorator of a command, such as this:

@bot.command(name="ping")
@in_any_channel(728343273562701984)
async def ping(ctx: Context):
  ...

This would lock the ping command to only be used in the channel 728343273562701984. If this check function fails it will raise a CheckFailure exception, which can be handled in your error handler.

[slate swan]

You should use channel IDs as they will never change, unlike names.

if channel.id == 123:

how can find that id in setting?

[maiden fable]

Or this, yea

[slate swan]

Right click the channel and click "Copy ID".

ok

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-

but id can be different for diff servers

Yes.

i should come up with a sol

IDs are always unique.

[harsh stump]

Where do I start?

[cedar stream]

Wdym

[slate swan]

By learning Python and then https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html

[harsh stump]

coding discord bots

ik python

[slate swan]

Then the quick start is where you should go.

[harsh stump]

okay ty

[cedar stream]

Do yk what asynchronous programming is?

And oop

[slate swan]

Then simply go on by reading the documentation for things you want to do and you're good to go.

[harsh stump]

no

[harsh stump]

thanks

[cedar stream]

Learn that

B4 going into dpy

[harsh stump]

kk

btw is there like a place to code or my regular ide?

[slate swan]

Any IDE or text/code editor like VSC is fine.

[harsh stump]

okay

[slate swan]

AttributeError: 'TextChannel' object has no attribute 'delete_message'

how can i delete the message by a user

message.channel.delete_message isn't working

[bitter depot]

await message.delete()

channel.delete_message is like 5 years out of date now

[dense coral]

no

[slate swan]

i want to delete a specific message , can i give the arguement?

[dense coral]

await ctx.message.delete()

[bitter depot]

?

[slate swan]

like i want to delete the message that triggred this command

[bitter depot]

Then that would be await ctx.message.delete()

[slate swan]

ok

[bitter depot]

You get the discord.Message object and then await the .delete() coroutine

The discord.Message that invoked the command is ctx.message

So await ctx.message.delete()

[slate swan]

what is ctx btw

im treating bot as a client

ctx is the context of the command, which includes information like from who, in what guild, in what channel, etc. the command was executed.

ok so i should include a new class for that?

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

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

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

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

[slate swan]

This is the class containing all the attributes and methods you can use on a ctx parameter.

[slate swan]

No, it's automatically done. What you can do is type hint ctx to the class above.

ok

[tidal hawk]

Hi, Can there be runnning like 10+ on member join asynchronous functions at the same time? I mean it's async function so it should be

But there are some problems with it atm

[slate swan]

Yes, that's the point of an asynchronous library and function.

Where do I get the on_command_error list?

@example.error
async def example_error(self, ctx, error):
  if isinstance(error, ...):
    # code...

[fluid spindle]

Just a quick question: What's the latency that you guys get usually?

[keen talon]

Discord websocket

[slate swan]

I made a levelling system with my beginner knowledge

[slate swan]

40-60ms

[slate swan]

Thats an event

on_command_error

[fluid spindle]

Okay, mine is good to go then...

[slate swan]

that answer was useleses

[slate swan]

Lol idk wut u meant by "where do i get the ..."

Check if the message.guild.id is the server ID. If yes, then use get_channel to get the channel and the channel ID as parameter; and then send it again in that channel using .send().

Just like above, but compare message.guild.id and message.channel.id with the IDs

Then use bot/client.get_channel(the_id), save it as a variable and use .send() on that variable.

[tame sierra]

How do you take in an attached image as a command parameter?

[vale wing]

Slash command?

I actually had the same issue, turns out there's no way to provide the image as an argument

You may get it if you use common command or message command

[true moon]

This give the error discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'Select' object is not subscriptable but why?

[vale wing]

What library are you using?

[true moon]

discord and discord_components

[vale wing]

Not really familiar with discord_components but I guess the issue is in res.component[0].label, maybe component is not a list but the select itself?

You could put all those ifs into one or into all

Also variables names should be in snake_case or smth

[slate swan]

so now i have created my bot and hosted it in replit web server but how can someone add it into their server

[true moon]

I tried the other way but it still gives the same error

[vale wing]

Try printing it

The res.component

[slate swan]

Would this work? @vale wing

with open(f"./data/users/{ctx.author.id}.json", "r") as f:

[vale wing]

Depends where do you run this from

[slate swan]

or should i send the url to add it in servers?

when the file is userID.json

[slate swan]

What do you mean?

[slate swan]

Why dont u use database?

[vale wing]

@slate swan this doesn't seem quite right

message.guid.id(SecondServer).send(Sc, message.content)```

[slate swan]

do you have a example?

[slate swan]

Like mangodb

It works like json

[vale wing]

await client.get_channel(second_channel_id).send(message.content)```

[slate swan]

🥭 db

[slate swan]

[vale wing]

@slate swan btw you should really use a database rather than to do the things like this. Before I learned how to use a database I did it the same way but with pickle files, got everything corrupted one "beautiful" day

Personally I am using sqlite3

[slate swan]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-in-love-anime-anime-dance-your-cute-love-gif-22510164

[slate swan]

nah, i still want to work with json ^^

[vale wing]

Mongodb is like json afaik

[true moon]

I tried printing res.component but it gives <discord_components.component.Select object at 0x000001E5E46F51C0> now what should i do?

[slate swan]

it works with dictionaries just like json does , difference is that you dont .load or .dump data there , there are different methods

[slate swan]

:3

[true moon]

Never mind i got it!

[vale wing]

Yeah and you are trying to to Select[0] that's why it raises an error

print is op

Better version would be

main_channel = client.get_channel(12345678)
second_channel = client.get_channel(87654321)
if message.author.id == client.user.id and message.channel == main_channel and message.content == 'blah blah blah':
  await second_channel.send(message.content)```

You don't really need to get a guild to get a channel

I needed to setup voting rewards for top.gg and discordbotlist.com and build whole API to implement them, did I do the right thing or I could do easier and better?

@api.post('/uservoted')
async def uservoted(request: web.Request):
    if request.headers['Authorization'] !='some token':
        return web.Response(status=403)

    r: dict = await request.json()
    id = int(r.get('id', r.get('user')))
    #some my code that adds voting rewards

    async with ClientSession(**DISCORD_PARAMS) as discord_session:
        channel_id_res = await discord_session.post(
            'https://discord.com/api/v9/users/@me/channels', 
            json={'recipient_id': str(id)})
        channel_id = (await channel_id_res.json())["id"]
        await discord_session.post(
            f'https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/{channel_id}/messages', 
            json={'embeds': [embeds.success('Thanks for Voting!', 'We have sent you the rewards :wink:').to_dict()]})
            
    return web.Response(status=200)```

[true moon]

How can make that only the user who issued the command can use the dropdown menu, buttons or reaction

please help cuz i don't know

[vale wing]

In dpy 2.0 there's interaction_check, dunno about discord_components

Maybe there's a similar thing

@true moon found it

Use check param in wait_for

[slate swan]

This is just like waiting for any event dispatch.

[true moon]

ik

[slate swan]

There are examples in the documentation.

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[vale wing]

Yeah I just found out, I have no much experience with discord_components

[slate swan]

See the examples there.

[slate swan]

This is the same for discord.py and all other similar libraries, has nothing to do with discord_components.

[vale wing]

So you figured it out?

[true moon]

Yeah Smol problem, i used check but how i can respond to user who is not supposed to use this menu

like This menu is not meant for you

[vale wing]

Oh

[slate swan]

I wouldn't do that.

[vale wing]

Use non lambda function, check the condition and if condition is false, send a message to interaction

[slate swan]

Simply ignoring is the best option. When it will get multiple people to interact randomly then your bot will always send and spam messages.

[true moon]

so like

def check(interaction):
  if not interaction.author == ctx.author:
    await interaction.respond('Not meant for you.')

[vale wing]

Yeah but the function must return something

[slate swan]

You can simply add a return before.

[vale wing]

So make sure it returns the valid option

[slate swan]

It doesn't matter.

[true moon]

kk

[slate swan]

Just handle the return correctly with the wait_for.

Note that if you do like that, the original user who executed the command won't be able to interact with the drop-down or button.

So the best is to ignore invalid users, unless you want to let others block the component for the original user.

[true moon]

Yeah ok

[vale wing]

Btw != is a thing

You don't really need that not lol

[true moon]

ik

bruh

[vale wing]

Sorry

[true moon]

ignoring the user gives the This interaction failed error on discord

😮‍💨

[vale wing]

Lemme test that thing rq

Nvm doesn't work for me

The only thing I can suggest is use dpy 2.0 or its fork that supports components, might take some time to learn but it still looks better than discord_components

[frail notch]

how to get a guild id out of an invite in python (if possible without the use of importing discord)
so far all i got is the user to input the guild invite

[vale wing]

It is only possible if you make a request to discord API

I think

Lemme search through their docs

[frail notch]

oh alr

[vale wing]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/invite#get-invite

[frail notch]

alright..

okay thanks

[vale wing]

Just request to that endpoint and get ['guild']['id'] from the response

[frail notch]

alright thanks

[slate swan]

how long can i have a message for ?

[frail notch]

wdym

[slate swan]

stupid way i worded that question

just ignore it

[velvet tinsel]

uh ok

[slate swan]

can I execute a command in a command?
so i mean like, a person don't have a profile

@client.command()
async def help(ctx):
  if ctx.author.id in list:
    # help list
  else:
    # execute cmd

@client.command()
async def cmd(ctx):
  # creates a profile

or is there a way, my bot create a profile automatically if the user is in the same server?

[vale wing]

I remember there's a way like cmd.__call__(ctx) but I am not sure of this, lemme test

@slate swan

@bot.command()
async def cmd1(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Executed cmd1')
    await cmd2(ctx)

@bot.command()
async def cmd2(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Executed cmd2')```
Worked

[slate swan]

ahhh okay

[vale wing]

I guess the difference between just using a command and using __call__ is that call doesn't complete checks

Nvm they work the same maybe I should ask someone with higher experience about that

Just remember that calling a command from another command will execute it no matter what checks are applied to it

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def help(ctx):
  if ctx.author.id in list
    # shows help
  else:
    await cmd1(ctx)

@bot.command()
async def cmd1(ctx):
  # creates profile
  await help(ctx)

^^? Would work, right?

[vale wing]

Um

[slate swan]

ah

[vale wing]

You messed names up I think

[slate swan]

now xD

Use ctx.invoke

!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.

[vale wing]

Obviously there had to be a better method thx

[slate swan]

First argument is the command object that you can get with bot.get_command("name")

Then you need to pass all arguments, besides ctx individually.

Which results into something like that for the command !userinfo <user>

await ctx.invoke(bot.get_command("userinfo"), user=user)

[vale wing]

@slate swan wait what is this method's advantage above just calling the command func except it can invoke the command from another cog?

[slate swan]

That's the advantage.

[vale wing]

Oh ok

[slate swan]

And I don't even know if calling the function directly works, probably but not sure.

[vale wing]

I just tested, it worked fine

[slate swan]

All right.

[vale wing]

Btw what's the purpose of __call__ I don't get it

[slim ibex]

__call__ lets you create classes where its instances are like functions

[foggy zealot]

how can i make the python eval command?

[slate swan]

x(y=54)
# Same as
x.__call__(y=54)

Considering x is an object.

[slim ibex]

^

[vale wing]

Ok

[slim ibex]

x(y=54)

is shorthand

[vale wing]

I understand that just needed to know what's the difference between just calling and using __call__

Seems like there's no much difference

[slate swan]

!e

class Test: 
    def __init__(self):
        print("Instance created...")

    def __call__(self):
        print("Instance is called...")

t = Test()
# __call__ will be called
t()

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | Instance created...
002 | Instance is called...

[vale wing]

Alright so that thing allows us to call object instances and is a magic method

Thx got it

[foggy zealot]

how can i make this eval code like this?

[vale wing]

See its source code

[foggy zealot]

uh where?

[lament mesa]

!src int e

[unkempt canyon]

Command: internal eval

Run eval in a REPL-like format.

[spring flax]

can anyone help with something about disnake. I got some error when i made application commands saying sync commands something

and then when I right clicked a message the whole apps part was gone

[vale wing]

Could you show your code?

And the exact exception

[slate swan]

and how to language everything? xD

Would like to use json too

[spring flax]

This is the message

[foggy zealot]

import contextlib

        code = code.strip("`")
        if re.match('py(thon)?\n', code):
            code = "\n".join(code.split("\n")[1:])

        if not re.search(  # Check if it's an expression
                r"^(return|import|for|while|def|class|"
                r"from|exit|[a-zA-Z0-9]+\s*=)", code, re.M) and len(
                    code.split("\n")) == 1:
            code = "_ = " + code

        await self._eval(ctx, code)

so thats all?

[vale wing]

I heard people recommend creating language database not json

[vale wing]

The command is made for cog and you are using it outside the cog

Also its a subcommand of internal_group

[foggy zealot]

._. what i have to do?

[vale wing]

Create new command and adapt the code for it

[foggy zealot]

can u modify it as a simple command?

[slate swan]

I don't want to use a database :')

[foggy zealot]

im nub in d.py

[slim ibex]

database > json

but json if your starting prolly

[vale wing]

Yeah, you also need to bring self._eval to your code

[slim ibex]

database isn't that hard

[slim ibex]

there are other things that go into this command. and copying it from this won't make you learn anything

[vale wing]

Trust me if your bot grows up you will experience serious issues with those jsons

[foggy zealot]

im not planning go learn d.py, i just wanted the eval command because i csnt use it on other discord coding language

[slim ibex]

??

what

[vale wing]

If you don't need to do async actions in your eval you could just use builtin eval btw

[slim ibex]

not recommended doh

[vale wing]

Why tho

[slim ibex]

you mean the builtin python eval()

?

[vale wing]

Yeah

Without async actions it works fine

And like it's not supposed to work with async

[foggy zealot]

look, idk discord.py ok? on school we learn basic python so in order to help my classmates, i wanted to make a bot that evals python codes. The only way is through discord.py that i dont know. thats why i want a simple command only

[slate swan]

I don't use one.

[slim ibex]

d.py is dead

dont use it

[slate swan]

then im doing it in my style

mehehe

[slim ibex]

bro

[vale wing]

Just to eval not async codes you only need builtin exec and some magic stuff about redirecting its output I am not familiar with

[slim ibex]

i guess, but you would prolly still have to make a clean code function

[foggy zealot]

how can i make a python eval command without discord.py then mate

[slim ibex]

you can do it in all python discord api wrappers

[foggy zealot]

bruh

discord.js isnt a python module

[slim ibex]

ik

idk why i said that

[vale wing]

It is node.js library afaik

[slim ibex]

^

i guess i didn't see python eval command even thought it was bold

LMFAO

anyways, use d.py forks like nextcord or disnake

[foggy zealot]

then how can i eval python codes without using python

[foggy zealot]

oh lol

[spring flax]

Anyone?

[vale wing]

@spring flax we need your code

Also did you check what that link says?

[foggy zealot]

so how can have the same eval command as here but simple way?

[slim ibex]

all eval commands will be complex

[foggy zealot]

i searched even for a py debugging API bit there arent any

[spring flax]

my main question is why it keeps removing the commands from appa here's the code:

[rugged marsh]

eval(\"print("Hello, world?\")")?

[foggy zealot]

!eval("print("Hello, world?")")?

[rugged marsh]

ohhh

you want to run python in bot and return output?

code from user?

[spring flax]

@bot.message_command(name="Bookmarm Message")
async def bookmark(inter, message):
    embed=disnake.Embed(title="Your Bookmark", color=disnake.Color.blurple())
    message_list = message.content.split()
    joined = " ".join(message_list[:75])
    if len(message_list) > 75:
        short_msg = f"{joined}..."
    else:
        short_msg = joined
    if not message.embeds:
        if not message.attachments:
            embed.description = short_msg
    if message.author.avatar:
        embed.set_author(name=message.author, icon_url=message.author.avatar.url)
    else:
        embed.set_author(name=message.author)
    embed.add_field(name="Message Bookmarked", value=f"[Visit original message]({message.jump_url})")
    embed_to_send = disnake.Embed(description=f"{bot.success_emoji} A bookmark to that message has been sent!")
    await inter.send(embed=embed_to_send, ephemeral=True)
    await inter.author.send(embed=embed)
    ```@vale wing

[slim ibex]

if you want it THAT simple, you would have to pass in a message parameter to the eval and add whatever you need to that

or something like that

[rugged marsh]

!e

😳 phone coding

[foggy zealot]

im not home lol

[slim ibex]

this dude has ascended humanity

[vale wing]

I used to code on phone as well

[rugged marsh]

but exec() command has a side effect, it could modify a global variable, might be dangerous

[vale wing]

Maybe we can do something to its globals param?

[foggy zealot]

[rugged marsh]

make variables hard to guess :)

async def on_message(message):
    if message.user == "hello":
        await message.send("hi")```
im trying to make triggers but i only started with python 2 days ago
this is probably totally wrong

[vale wing]

Don't think there's user attribute for message

[rugged marsh]

or create a temp file, and execute it, catch output and return using subprocess

[vale wing]

Depends on library

[vale wing]

To access message's content, use content attribute: message.content

!d discord.Message.content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

[vale wing]

Damn I should really update my exec commands for bots lmao

[silver magnet]

where do i need to place it? im still new to this stuff sorry

[rugged marsh]

are you new to python?

[spring flax]

that is wrong

[rugged marsh]

ok ;-;

anyone has a good example of asynchronous and synchronous?

[spring flax]

it's message.channel.send*

[spring flax]

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

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

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

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor

[rugged marsh]

trying to explain it to my friend ;-;

[foggy zealot]

rip the eval command._.

[heavy folio]

what happened

[vale wing]

What library

[vale wing]

What happened to it

[heavy folio]

actually i didnt see the add_user() method

got it

[vale wing]

Ok

[foggy zealot]

i mean no one knows how to make it ._.

[vale wing]

I just made it lol

[foggy zealot]

where

[vale wing]

You just gotta embed the function I made into a command

[foggy zealot]

well i dont know that too xd

[vale wing]

Um just call the function from a command?

[foggy zealot]

idk how to make awaited delete command with bin emoji reaction

[vale wing]

Oh awaited

[foggy zealot]

exactly how it is here

something like: onReactionAdd($deleteMessage) idk

[frail notch]

can someone explain to me how to fix this
the code is

#turn server invite into guild ID
def guild_id(guild_invite):
    url2 = f"{API_ENDPOINT}/invites/{guild_invite}"
    response = requests.get(url2)
    data = response.json()
    guild_id = data["guild"]["id"]

[vale wing]

Ah so you only want it to delete the message if you press the reaction?

You don't need to execute asynchronous codes?

[vale wing]

Um maybe you meant

guild_invite = input('Guild invite> ')```?

Why would you need to call a str like fr

[foggy zealot]

mhm

[frail notch]

oh

soz

[vale wing]

@foggy zealot so let's state what do you want your command to do and like use an example

Like I made my command to be like this

[foggy zealot]

i want it to work just like the bot here if possible

[vale wing]

Not as good as python's but simplier

[foggy zealot]

oh and... can it count lines? 001, 002....?

[vale wing]

That's up to you and is decorative

[foggy zealot]

i have no idea how to do it

i dont even know discord.py how to send a message

[vale wing]

@foggy zealot one question, when did you start learning python?

[slim ibex]

you shouldn't be trying to make an eval command, whihc is advanced, if you dont even know d.py basics

[foggy zealot]

on school this year, basic stuff, not discord related

[slim ibex]

whats basic stuff

[vale wing]

Just saying that discord bot is typically an asynchronous app and it is very advanced

[slim ibex]

^

[vale wing]

Maybe you need to complete a discord bot tutorial first

https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/ is a good one

Tho dpy is no longer being maintained

[foggy zealot]

i know discord.js

[vale wing]

It's not discord.py tho

They have similarities but they are different, they have different languages

[foggy zealot]

and when i say basic stuff, i mean prints if, while, for, imports, inputs, and defs

thats all i know ._.

[vale wing]

What about classes

[foggy zealot]

not yet

[slim ibex]

classes/OOP are important to d.py

[vale wing]

Decorators?

[foggy zealot]

nothing else

i learnt threading by myself

[vale wing]

I think you can learn dpy with your current experience, but you need to learn more about classes and maybe decorators, also the tutorial I sent to you is very helpful 😉

[slate swan]

It's not about learning discord.py; it's about learning Python and being a able to use it while reading the documentation of discord.py

[foggy zealot]

but all i want from d.py is a command ._.

[slim ibex]

and that command requires some intermediate python knowledge

[vale wing]

You want uh kinda complicated command

[foggy zealot]

i know how to do it in js

but it evals js codes

[vale wing]

I am pretty sure js has libraries for evaluating python codes

[foggy zealot]

umm nope

[vale wing]

Like java does for sure

[foggy zealot]

i have searched even APIs that return python codes

[slate swan]

You should use a sandbox for eval command though.

[slate swan]

In JS you can evaluate Python code, yes.

[foggy zealot]

whas a sandbox?

[vale wing]

Js should have as well

[foggy zealot]

available on djs?

[slate swan]

discord.js is not a language.

It's a library.

[slim ibex]

Discord.JavaScript

[foggy zealot]

yes

[slate swan]

So anything that can be used in JS can be used with discord.js

[foggy zealot]

OH so i can code bots in whole plain language?

[slim ibex]

you use JS in discord.js, you use python in discord.py

[foggy zealot]

i didnt know that

[vale wing]

@foggy zealot I just searched for libraries, there's something like py.js

Maybe that's what you need

[foggy zealot]

[vast gale]

imagine not making a meta discord bot

[foggy zealot]

the name is cringe but alr imma study it lol

[vast gale]

I have sadly made a bot to help make bots

please save me from myself

[vale wing]

I really want to make a bot for hosting bots but need to think out much of stuff

[slow furnace]

hey guys, sorry to cut in, has anyone got any idea for dropbox token here for discord bot?

[vast gale]

wdym?

[slow furnace]

so something like this
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70641660/how-do-you-get-and-use-a-refresh-token-for-the-dropbox-api-python-3-x

[vast gale]

yeah that sounds complicated

[slate swan]

You asked that question?

[slow furnace]

someone else did

[slow furnace]

but i have the same question in mind

[vale wing]

Also need to add protection against "too smart" bot coders that would want to break the server

[vast gale]

probably would get a better answer in #python-discussion or see #❓｜how-to-get-help

[slate swan]

And you want to do exactly the same

[slow furnace]

ok cool cool. thank you!

[vast gale]

too smart
literally an eval command smh

although...

oh that makes me wonder

[vale wing]

If they put os.system('reboot') it might reboot the server lmao not sure tho

Maybe I need some kind of venv?

[vast gale]

so @unkempt canyon' eval command exists

[vale wing]

Nono I mean like bot for hosting bots

For example, you upload source code to github, the bot loads it to some directory and executes

[vast gale]

that makes me wonder... could you do something with the already existing sandbox for processes and give them network access

[vale wing]

But it should filter malicious code

[vast gale]

yes, but the backend is open source

eg someone could run os system reboot and no problems

[vale wing]

I really need to figure that out

[vast gale]

my bot is essentially python + lance mixed into one bot, made extreme python and development focused, and then slash commands

[slate swan]

How do I get the username + discriminator / tag, only by the id?

[vast gale]

!d discord.Client.fetch_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.fetch\_user

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

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

Note

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

[slate swan]

I tried

user = userID
ctx.send(f"{user.name}")

[slate swan]

ty

[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.

[honest shoal]

I'm having a problem with disnake, member.status shows false status

[slate swan]

Not recommended at all, use bot.get_user(id) or await bot.fetch_user(id)

[vast gale]

although it's best to pair that with an attempt to get it from the cache with what @slate swan said

[vale wing]

Is presence intent enabled?

Both in dev portal and in code

[vast gale]

I figured you had only a user ID, but given what you're sending it should be cached 🙃

[slate swan]

you can just use ```py
user = bot.get_user(id) or await bot.fetch_user(id)

[slate swan]

._.

[slate swan]

indeed

disnake already made a handy method

[vast gale]

• what does it show vs what do you think it should show?
• what's your commands.Bot instantiation look like?

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Client.get_or_fetch_user

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Client.get\_or\_fetch\_user

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

Tries to get the user from the cache. If fails, it tries to fetch the user from the API.

[vast gale]

!d disnake.Client.getch_user

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Client.getch\_user

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

Tries to get the user from the cache. If fails, it tries to fetch the user from the API.

[slate swan]

is same

[vast gale]

ye

[slim ibex]

getch_user?

[slate swan]

🏃‍♂️ ty for saving me from hitting the _ 4 times

[vale wing]

Funny name

[slim ibex]

get+catch user?

[vast gale]

getch--get or fetch

[slim ibex]

clever

[honest shoal]

yes they are on

[slate swan]

is that a slash command?

[honest shoal]

context menu

[slate swan]

ow , does it always show that the user is offline?

[honest shoal]

it shows the offline status when I test it on my online friend

[honest shoal]

yes

[vast gale]

🤔

do you have the precenses intent?

[slate swan]

fetch_member again

[honest shoal]

precenses intent?

[honest shoal]

hm?

[vast gale]

yes, you need an intent to view if members are online

[honest shoal]

the Default one is enabled

[slate swan]

not the default ones

[honest shoal]

disnake.Intents.default()

[slate swan]

its a privelaged intent

[honest shoal]

ohh

where can I find it

!d disnake.Intents.presences

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Intents.presences

Whether guild presence related events are enabled.

This corresponds to the following events:

• on_presence_update()

This also corresponds to the following attributes and classes in terms of cache...

[slate swan]

its not documented

[vast gale]

yes

I can't spell

[slate swan]

ah

[honest shoal]

I asked in disnake server too but don't know who deleted my message

[vast gale]

I never saw it 💀

[silver magnet]

what's an object i could use to replace message.author but that doesn't mention the user's tag? i looked through the discord.py documentation already.

[vast gale]

message.author.name

[silver magnet]

thanks

[frail notch]

Why does it not output the guild id?

[slate swan]

Hey

[potent spear]

because you never ran the function 🧠

[slate swan]

description=f"<a ![thumb](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/853182969618366464.webp?size=128 "thumb")  Changed roles for {member.name}, +{ctx.role.name}") 

Can you tell me what's the problem here

[potent spear]

<a:thumb:id>

[maiden fable]

U meant a:

[frail notch]

wdym

[potent spear]

you never ran the function guild_id silly

[frail notch]

Oh... lmao

[slate swan]

description=f"Changed roles for {member.name}, +{ctx.role.name}"

Can you tell me what's the problem here

It doesn't send embed

[potent spear]

a ) at the end isn't needed

unless it's in an embed and you're not showing everything ofc

[slate swan]

description=f"Changed roles for {member.name}, +{ctx.role.name}"

Can you tell me what's the problem here

[frail notch]

how can i fix dis

[slate swan]

I mean there is some problem

Under Curly brackets

[potent spear]

you didn't pass an argument to that function, silly

[potent spear]

just show the whole command

[frail notch]

wdym

[potent spear]

you have to know what an argument is by now

[frail notch]

wait nvm

yea i do

[slate swan]

#**__Role__**
@client.command()
@commands.has_role(922058791510474822)

    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Don't mind the emoji id. It's discord bug. Can you tell me the problem in member name and role name because it doesn't send embed

Indentation is wrong.

Nope

[potent spear]

you should have errors in the console for sure if it isn't sending anything

[slate swan]

Right, mobile is broken. Look your console.

It shows this

Remove ctx.

[potent spear]

it's + {role.name}

[slate swan]

After the "+"

[frail notch]

How do I fix this error...?

[maiden fable]

Stop calling everyone silly, silly

[silver magnet]

how do i make the bot find out that the message author is itself?

[maiden fable]

if message.author == bot.user

!d discord.Client.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.user

property user: Optional[discord.user.ClientUser]```
Represents the connected client. `None` if not logged in.

[elfin oxide]

/help

wtf

[maiden fable]

Wrong Server My Man

[slate swan]

The API doesn't return a field id.

You probably want data["guild"]["id"]

[finite cobalt]

is it possible to detect if a user is currently muted in a vc

[slate swan]

You should make the request yourself, then you see how the JSON looks like. Here is an example:

{
   "code":"pVGHD65s",
   "type":0,
   "expires_at":"2022-01-16T14:55:13+00:00",

      "splash":null,
      "banner":null,
      "description":null,
      "icon":null,
      "features":[

      "verification_level":0,

      "nsfw_level":0
   },

      "discriminator":"7331",
      "public_flags":131136
   }
}

[slate swan]

!d discord.VoiceState.self_mute

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceState.self\_mute

Indicates if the user is currently muted by their own accord.

[slate swan]

Also this in case the user is muted on the entire guild.

!d discord.VoiceState.mute

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceState.mute

Indicates if the user is currently muted by the guild.

[finite cobalt]

ok thanks

[slate swan]

And to get the VoiceState object it's simply the voice attribute on a discord.Member object.

[silver magnet]

trying to make these triggers case insensitive, any way how?

async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return
    else:
        if message.content == "hello":
            await message.channel.send(f"hello {message.author.name}!")
        elif message.content == "hi":
            await message.channel.send(f"hello {message.author.name}!")
        elif message.content == "bye":
            await message.channel.send(f"goodbye {message.author.name}!")
        elif message.content == "goodbye":
            await message.channel.send(f"goodbye {message.author.name}!")```

[finite cobalt]

And how do i check all the time if hes muted?

[slate swan]

You don't need to check all the time

[finite cobalt]

do i need to make a @client.event?

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_voice_state_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_voice\_state\_update

discord.on_voice_state_update(member, before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") changes their [`VoiceState`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceState "discord.VoiceState").

The following, but not limited to, examples illustrate when this event is called...

[slate swan]

message.content.lower()

That's some very basic Python :p

[silver magnet]

yeah im just new

[slate swan]

Then you should consider learning more, as this is one of the first things you will learn.

[cerulean lichen]

Hi guys!
Simple question, I have couple tasks that I need to check for updates every second and then the bot should respond.
Do I need a bot for each task? or I can use the async functions and that will work?

[finite cobalt]

so it would be: if discord.VoiceState.self_mute == True: ?

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

One bot with multiple tasks -> https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

[finite cobalt]

So i want to check if a user is muted how do i do that

[cerulean lichen]

yeah but let's say I have 5 tasks, each one with 1s loop
they won't interrupt each other?

[slate swan]

That's why asynchronous programming exists :p

[cerulean lichen]

ok cool, thnx 🙂

[finite cobalt]

?

[slate swan]

Come on, that's very simple after what I've said:

• To get a VoiceState, use the voice attribute on a Member object.

voice_state = ctx.author.voice

• To check if the user is muted, you can use the mute or self_mute attribute on a VoiceState object:

muted_or_not = voice_state.mute or voice_state.self_mute

[finite cobalt]

async def on_voice_state_update(ctx):
    voice_state = ctx.author.voice
    if voice_state.self_mute == True:
        print("true")```

so if have this but its not working

[slate swan]

Remove == True

!d discord.on_voice_state_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_voice\_state\_update

discord.on_voice_state_update(member, before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") changes their [`VoiceState`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceState "discord.VoiceState").

The following, but not limited to, examples illustrate when this event is called...

[slate swan]

As you can see, it takes 3 parameters and no ctx parameters.

member, before, after

[finite cobalt]

yes

[slate swan]

Then don't use ctx but those.

[finite cobalt]

but then its an error with voice_state = ctx.author.voice

[slate swan]

Now you know what each parameter represents, you can fix it yourself.

[finite cobalt]

async def on_voice_state_update(member, before, after):
    voice_state = member.author.voice
    if voice_state.self_mute:
        print("true")```

like this??

[slate swan]

Well, as you can see the before and after parameters are of type VoiceState.

One before they changed it and one after they changed it.

Choose which one you need to use.

[finite cobalt]

But the voice_state = membe.author.voice is not working

[slate swan]

As I said, you don't need it. Because of this.

[silver magnet]

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.channel.send(f"In milliseconds: {round(client.latency * 1000)}")```
this command used to work but it just stopped working.

[finite cobalt]

I dont get it

[slate swan]

member.voice is the same type as before and after

[finite cobalt]

It worked thank you

[slate swan]

Now choose if you want to check the voice state before or after they changed it.

[slate swan]

What do you mean by "Stopped working"

[silver magnet]

when i did (prefix)ping it sent the ping without any flaws, now it just doesn't give any response at all, not even errors

[slate swan]

But your bot starts correctly?

[silver magnet]

yeah

[slate swan]

May you share more code? Issue is probably somewhere else.

on_message event . do you have one?

[finite cobalt]

How can i get a voice channel by its id?

[silver magnet]

its probably very bad because im still learning as you might know
||```import discord
from discord.ext import commands

print(discord.version)

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=",,")
TOKEN = "inserttokenhere"

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("logged as {0.user}".format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
else:
if message.content.lower() == "hello":
await message.channel.send(f"hello {message.author.name}!")
elif message.content.lower() == "hi":
await message.channel.send(f"hello {message.author.name}!")
elif message.content.lower() == "bye":
await message.channel.send(f"goodbye {message.author.name}!")
elif message.content.lower() == "goodbye":
await message.channel.send(f"goodbye {message.author.name}!")

@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.channel.send(f"In milliseconds: {round(client.latency * 1000)}")

@client.command()
async def say(ctx, *, message=None):
if message is None:
await ctx.send("Argument error")
await ctx.message.delete()
await ctx.send(f"{message}")

@client.command()
async def poll(ctx, *, message=None):
if ctx.message.channel.name == "mod-chat":
if message is None:
mes = await ctx.send("Argument error")
return
mes = await ctx.send(f"<@&role-id>, {message}")
await mes.add_reaction(":thumbsup:")
await mes.add_reaction(":thumbsdown:")
else:
return

client.run(TOKEN)```
||

[slate swan]

Use get_channel

[slate swan]

You have an on_message event that broke all your commands, to fix it you simply need to add the following line at the end of that event:

await client.process_commands(message)

[silver magnet]

now it works

[slate swan]

Glad to hear that

My bot is unable to delete its own messages

await message.delete()

It always is able to delete its own messages.

You'd need to give more code than just that :p

[finite cobalt]

            print(member)```its just printing one member

[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.

[slate swan]

Enable the members intent in code and developer portal.

but as per logic shouldn't it delete its own code

How to install this?

 msg = message.content
  if not msg.startswith("$") and message.channel.name == "word-chain":
       if msg.lower() not in wordlist:
            wordlist.append(msg.lower())
       elif msg.lower() in wordlist:
           await message.channel.send("You already said that word!")
           await message.delete()
await message.delete()

thanks

[slate swan]

That's probably not the message of the bot, but a user.

but if i delete message 2 times , it should delete its own message ri8?

No

why

!e
x = 1
print(x)
print(x)

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

001 | 1
002 | 1

[slate swan]

It never changes :p

It's a variable, it never changes unless you change it by yourself, which you never did.

ic

If you want the bot to delete a message the bot sent, you need to create a new variable when sending the message and use .delete() on that one.

Something like this:

x = await message.channel.send(...)
await x.delete()

ok

[honest vessel]

is there a way to see who deleted a msg if it was themselfs or a mod?

[slate swan]

One thing that can help you are the audit logs.

?

[honest vessel]

you can also do py x = await message.channel.send("...", delete_after=20) deletes message after 20sec

What's the object i need to make a bot add reactions?

[slate swan]

Depends how you want to manipulate the message later.

[honest vessel]

@slate swani was thinking in the event on_message_delete

[slate swan]

A message object

Error says all

[frail notch]

yup

xD

[slate swan]

You are giving a function instead of a snowflake as value.

[frail notch]

just notices

[silver magnet]

i tried something like message.add_reaction("emoji") but i dont think it works

[slate swan]

await

[silver magnet]

i used await too

[astral mountain]

how do you get a bot to send imported python files into a channel ?

[slate swan]

And what was emoji

[silver magnet]

👍

[slate swan]

:something:?

[silver magnet]

:thumbsup:

[slate swan]

You need to use a raw emoji, such as \👍

[silver magnet]

i tried the raw emote p sure

[slate swan]

Add a \ before sending it and copy paste that.

[silver magnet]

oh

[slate swan]

I don't think it's possible to get all imported files/modules programmatically.

[astral mountain]

dame I was looking to use this to crate a discord game bot. do you have any suggestion on how to do it properly?

[slate swan]

What are you trying to do?

[astral mountain]

I am trying to crate a leveling system

or a base

[slate swan]

Why would you need to send all imported files in a channel for that?

[honest vessel]

>>> import time
>>> import sys
>>> print(globals())
{'__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <class '_frozen_importlib.BuiltinImporter'>, '__spec__': None, '__annotations__': {}, '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, 'time': <module 'time' (built-in)>, 'sys': <module 'sys' (built-in)>}

[maiden fable]

?

[astral mountain]

@slate swan I have two files the game itself and the bot and i wanted to combine them using that function

[maiden fable]

Python

[silver magnet]

doesn't seem to work either. it sends the message but doesn't add reactions.

[slate swan]

What is your code now?

[silver magnet]

full or just the @client.command of the poll feature?

[slate swan]

Where you add the reaction of course ^^

[silver magnet]

await message.add_reaction("\👍")

anywhere else it gives an error

[slate swan]

No \

When you send in chat use that, then copy paste what got sent.

\👍

This needs to be copy pasted.

[silver magnet]

do i need to place <> around the emote?

[slate swan]

No

[slate swan]

Only this

[silver magnet]

there's apparently something wrong in if message.author == client.user:

[slate swan]

Such as?

[silver magnet]

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'author'

[slate swan]

Why did you replaced the message variable to a string?
