its not sending the embed nor give the muted role when i use the command.

free hosting service with replit: uptime robot + a simple code to type in replit.

[slate swan]

thats not a bot hosting service

[fervent shard]

it hosts the bot 24/7

[slate swan]

the bot restarts at every 30minutes-1 hrs , rip cache

[fervent shard]

no, i do it and it's perfectly fine

[slate swan]

1. It never adds the muted role since you never used add_roles
2. It's not just get_role, you need to use it on a Guild object, example: ctx.guild

arguable topic , but replit is bad for hosting anyways

its an ide , not a host

[fervent shard]

i mean like, it still works

heroku < replit

[slate swan]

Both are equally bad.

[fervent shard]

imo not really, i mean replit has its own bad qualities but its definitely a better service than heroku.

[slate swan]

No, both are equally bad.

You shouldn't use any of these, as simple as that.

[stable berry]

Can anyone pls help me with buttons i still don't know how to add them

[slate swan]

What library are you using?

[stable berry]

[slate swan]

What library do you use?

It's a basic question you should know the answer ^^

[heavy folio]

using commands.Greedy, if a member isnt found how do i get it to raise MemberNotFound
for some reason when i didnt specify a valid member it'll still work

[slim ibex]

you can use a try except block

Where in the except, you specifically look for the MemberNotFound

or you can use the raise keyword

[slim ibex]

Heroku is made for web services

[dreamy sluice]

Is there a way I can make the bot find the message_id of the message the author replied to?

For example, A replies to B's message with the bot's command in the message's content. Now, how do I find the message ID of B's message (which A replied to)?

[slate swan]

message.reference

Returns an object of this type

!d discord.MessageReference

[unkempt canyon]

discord.MessageReference

class discord.MessageReference(*, message_id, channel_id, guild_id=None, fail_if_not_exists=True)```
Represents a reference to a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message").

New in version 1.5.

Changed in version 1.6: This class can now be constructed by users.

[dreamy sluice]

How do I implement it?

[slate swan]

Use .reference on the message object.

[dreamy sluice]

So, it leads to the message which the author replied to?

@slate swan

[slate swan]

As I said, it returns an object of this type

[dreamy sluice]

Ohh, so it just returns a message object.

[slate swan]

Then you have multiple attributes to use.

[slate swan]

No it doesn't

discord.Message != discord.MessageReference

[dreamy sluice]

I see.

[slate swan]

Click on it and you will see yourself.

[dreamy sluice]

Mkay

Ok new issue, how do I convert a message id back to a message object.

@slate swan Can you help?

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[dreamy sluice]

I see.

[heavy folio]

no errors raise

because of how the converter works i think

thats why even when member is not found it doesnt raise the error for me

[vale wing]

Could you show your code?

[slim ibex]

no CommandInvokeError?

[dreamy sluice]

msgId = ctx.message.reference.id
msg = await discord.fetch_message(msgId)
await msg.reply(content)

Is this correct?

[vale wing]

Seems valid but msgId is not following naming conventions

[heavy folio]

not at all

!d discord.ext.commands.Greedy

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Greedy

class discord.ext.commands.Greedy```
A special converter that greedily consumes arguments until it can’t. As a consequence of this behaviour, most input errors are silently discarded, since it is used as an indicator of when to stop parsing.

When a parser error is met the greedy converter stops converting, undoes the internal string parsing routine, and continues parsing regularly.

For example, in the following code:

```py
@commands.command()
async def test(ctx, numbers: Greedy[int], reason: str):
    await ctx.send("numbers: {}, reason: {}".format(numbers, reason))
```  An invocation of `[p]test 1 2 3 4 5 6 hello` would pass `numbers` with `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]` and `reason` with `hello`...

[dreamy sluice]

Hmm, lemme change it ig

[slate swan]

s n e k

[heavy folio]

"most input errors are silently discarded"

[vale wing]

@heavy folio could you show how you typehint your args in command?

[heavy folio]

    async def _command(self, ctx, member: commands.Greedy[discord.Member]):
        ...

[vale wing]

Um

[heavy folio]

wait

[vale wing]

And where is the argument you typehint lol? Typo?

[heavy folio]

i dont have my pc rn lol

yeah typo

[slim ibex]

why didn’t you type hint a member argument

oh there it is

[heavy folio]

i did i said its a typo

[dreamy sluice]

This isn't working, can someone help me?
I am trying to find the message which the author replied to (with the command in the content), and I want the bot to reply to it too)

[heavy folio]

if i didnt a syntax error will be raised

wait not syntax error the uh

[vale wing]

I mean if there's anything following Greedy argument with default value, it might prevent it from raising error like

async def command(..., member: Greedy[Member], num: int = 0)```

[heavy folio]

nope i dont have snything after that

[slate swan]

No.

[dreamy sluice]

Rip

[slate swan]

You need to use it on a discord.TextChannel object.

[vale wing]

Is your argument typehinted with Greedy the last one?

[dreamy sluice]

I see.

[heavy folio]

wdym

[slate swan]

Which you eventually don't have, so you need to use channel = bot.get_channel(id) and then use on that variable the fetch_message method.

[vale wing]

Do any arguments go after the one typehinted with Greedy?

[dreamy sluice]

Ok thanks

[slate swan]

And as I said, click the link to know more about MessageReference since it's not a Message object and therefore doesn't have a id attribute.

[heavy folio]

nope

[slate swan]

@dreamy sluice https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.MessageReference

[vale wing]

I guess it's possible to avoid typehinting it with greedy, you could just use list of arguments

async def cmd(ctx, member: discord.Member, *roles: discord.Role)```
@heavy folio

[dreamy sluice]

Mkay

[vale wing]

Greedy is needed when you want to like insert the list of arguments inside

If it goes for last just use list of arguments

[slate swan]

You can try, message.reference.cached_message.id to directly get the ID of the message, but if the message is not cached, it won't work.

[dreamy sluice]

What does cached mean again?

[pseudo lake]

in memory

[dreamy sluice]

Ok thanks

[heavy folio]

oh

[heavy folio]

alr thanks

[pliant gulch]

Why can't you just use MessageReference.message_id?

[dreamy sluice]

Hm?

[fervent shard]

could someone indent/unindent this for me?

@bot.command(pass_context = True)
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def unmute(ctx, member: discord.Member, reason=None):
      mutedRole = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="☁️ | muted")

      embed=discord.Embed(description=f"{member.mention} has been `unmuted` for **{reason}**", colour=discord.Colour.green())
      em1=discord.Embed(description=f"**{member.mention}**, you have been `unmuted` for **{reason}**", colour=0)
      await ctx.send(embed=embed)
      await member.remove_roles(mutedRole)
      await member.send(embed=em1)
    else:
      if member == ctx.author:
      em2=discord.Embed(description=f"**you** cannot `unmute` yourself", colour=discord.Colour.red())
      await ctx.send(embed=em2)```

[vale wing]

Why can't you do it by yourself?

[slate swan]

!indents Will help you

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[vale wing]

Also why is there else coming out from nowhere

[strong shale]

And do you know that theirs a new feature for doing that mute, unmute

member.timeout(...)
# or
member.timeout_for(...)

[vale wing]

Because she's using old library ig

[fervent shard]

she's*

[vale wing]

It is only available in forks

[fervent shard]

thank you

[vale wing]

Kk sorry

[fervent shard]

no worries

Hey @sullen pewter!

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

Can you send the entire file?

!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.

[sullen pewter]

k

[final iron]

Put it in there

[sullen pewter]

done

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

[final iron]

You called your bot constructor client

So either change that or change the command decorator

There is also a spelling mistake on your cleint.run("") line

[slate swan]

Also just an outside tip: you could put all those different messages inside a list and iterate through it to shorten your code.

[final iron]

It should be client.run("")

With your fingers

[sullen pewter]

the @bot.command?

[final iron]

Yes

bot is undefined

[sullen pewter]

what should I change it for?

[final iron]

@client.command

[sullen pewter]

ok

[oblique adder]

can I send 2 embed in 1 message ? in webhook I can

[final iron]

Why don't you try it?

[oblique adder]

I tried and can't

so im here to ask

I send embed as an array

[tender estuary]

I never would have imagined in my entire life that I would ever use replit

Turns out I need to use it to host my bot.. heroku is just shit I couldn't keep using it

[pseudo lake]

use epik host

[solar anchor]

can someone help me install UI path?

[maiden fable]

UI?

[solar anchor]

yes

[vale wing]

Ui path?

What is that

[maiden fable]

Ah

It's discord.ui

[vale wing]

It's called a package or smth not path lol

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

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

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

Note

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

[solar anchor]

okay but how can i install it?

[vale wing]

@solar anchor you want dpy 2.0?

[solar anchor]

what?

[maiden fable]

What's your dpy version

[vale wing]

#discord-bots message

[solar anchor]

i just use python

[maiden fable]

!d discord.version

[unkempt canyon]

discord.\_\_version\_\_

discord.__version__```
A string representation of the version. e.g. `'1.0.0rc1'`. This is based off of [**PEP 440**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440).

[vale wing]

@solar anchor you know how to install packages right?

[solar anchor]

ppl give me the thing to type yes

[vale wing]

It's pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py if you want dpy 2.0 that has support of buttons

[solar anchor]

i did that but it didnt work

[vale wing]

Tho you'd better use fork like disnake

Represents a UI select menu.

This is usually represented as a drop down menu.

In order to get the selected items that the user has chosen, use [`Select.values`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.Select.values "discord.ui.Select.values").

Don't worry, just saying ^^

okay

[solar anchor]

any knows how to fix this?

[pseudo lake]

whats menus.MenuPage?

[solar anchor]

no clue

i copied this part

[pseudo lake]

why are you inheriting it then lmao

[vale wing]

M bro

Look for definition of it

[pseudo lake]

where did you copy it from?

[vale wing]

In the code

[solar anchor]

it should be a built in function

[pseudo lake]

it isnt

[vale wing]

It's not

[solar anchor]

then it should be a package

[vale wing]

@solar anchor if you are browsing source code from github on pc you can just click it and look for definition

[solar anchor]

i copied it a some days ago

[vale wing]

From here?

[solar anchor]

no

Python bot has very nice functions

[solar anchor]

yeah

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

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

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

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

New in version 2.0.

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

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

bruh if i try removing it it destroys everything

If you use discord.py, remove nextcord.

If you use nextcord, remove discord.py

[gleaming torrent]

So there’s one thing I don’t understand

[slate swan]

how to remove nextcord?

pip3 uninstall nextcord

[gleaming torrent]

What are shards? For discord bots. I don’t get it.

And what are they used for?

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

Sharding is a method to split portions of bots into separate processes. This is an enforced strategy by Discord once a bot reaches a certain number of guilds (2500). Once this number is reached, a bot must be sharded in a way that only 2500 guilds maximum may be allocated per shard.

[gleaming torrent]

Thank you.

[slate swan]

..

[weary mirage]

this might not be the best place to ask, but I'm making this bot thats using sqlite3. It's gonna be used to hold money, but just for some game I play. How can I make a thing to track its usage history?

[crimson idol]

I don't think I understand the question. Are using discord's api to make this bot?

[weary mirage]

yee its a discord bot

[lime vector]

Ask me questions

[cloud dawn]

By usage history you mean the transaction history i assume.

[weary mirage]

yus

[crimson idol]

Is it a discord-based game or..

[weary mirage]

its Minecraft lol

they pay the player and so the shopkeeper opens their account

[cloud dawn]

Well just create a new table for that, use the user id to join it.

[weary mirage]

wouldn't I need to create new rows for every transaction?

or could I join them into one row

[cloud dawn]

No you'd want to do that automatically after every transaction.

[weary mirage]

how would I join with the user id o.o;

[cloud dawn]

Maby some kind of dynamic function to log it to that table.

[vale wing]

Personally I would make a function that would operate with user's currency and log the transaction at the same time

[cloud dawn]

Best is to also make a transaction type to know what is what.

[cloud dawn]

That would take way too much effort.

[vale wing]

Not really

[weary mirage]

this sounds kind of complicated o.o

[cloud dawn]

Yeah since you are creating duplicated code a lot.

[weary mirage]

I'm already somewhat familiar with sqlite3, but I don't know that much

[vale wing]

SQL code?

[weary mirage]

sqlite3

[crimson idol]

I'd say something like

# code

Or something similar to that for the function

[cloud dawn]

So like you would also need to give type to the column to identify what kind of transaction it is.

[vale wing]

1 query to update user data and 1 to log transaction? Too much effort? Maybe you mean something else?

[cloud dawn]

Yeah just create a function for it.

Eliminate repetitive code.

[vale wing]

Didn't I say that at first lol

I mean maybe it's possible to combinate them into one query

[cloud dawn]

Likely but that would get way too messy.

[crimson idol]

I don't see why that's necessary

I'd say just call the function with the user id and transaction amount

[pseudo lake]

well just make some methods that store/update/remove/return user currency then you can use the freely anywhere. i dont suggest doing that on every command since it will make ur code look junky

[vale wing]

Ofc I wouldn't

[cloud dawn]

More like ```py
async def log_transaction(...):

[vale wing]

Bruh what I suggested was combinate 2 actions into function and you are doing all this...

[weary mirage]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/475846958909751299/913574820766183454/distress.gif

me over here not understanding anything

[pseudo lake]

better discord user

[vale wing]

@weary mirage you should probably ask in #databases maybe they suggest better option involving sqlite's tools

[weary mirage]

oh aight

[crimson idol]

Well, in the context that they want to implement it into a discord bot

[cloud dawn]

I have my own wrapper for SQL based syntax anyways so i'd only really have to add one function to log everything.

[vale wing]

@weary mirage I think you could just create a trigger most likely it's what you need https://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtrigger.html

[weary mirage]

alright, thank you

[polar ice]

Hey, can someone help me fetch the guild_id from a custom function??

my function gets called on_ready

[potent spear]

don't do API calls in on_ready

I've not seen any code, no idea what you're trying to do

[quaint epoch]

(await ctx.guild.fetch_member(member_id)).mention``` would mention the member, right?

[quaint epoch]

which guild_id?

my on_ready func looks like this, it says in every server it's in that it's logged in and it sends every member a verification code.

but i commented out bc im the nerdy annnoying kid in school that like pushups too much and pinging everyone isn't very good and everyone hates me for it

so yeah

[hoary cargo]

uh, this tells everything you need to know

[quaint epoch]

i, imported too many things

[hoary cargo]

wtf you have 200+ imports or what

[quaint epoch]

NAH

srry caps

since it's a mod bot i added a lot of perm overwrites

[hoary cargo]

tbh pretty much useless, what was the idea behind this

[quaint epoch]

idk, i was thinking the same thing

that's why i commented it out

hm

[quaint epoch]

to check if a user is a spam bot or smth i guess

i removed the commented out code

but there's still a command to manually send a code to a member

to check if they're a bot

spam bot

ig

wow i really don't know why i made this

this is just gathering dust

[oblique adder]

Do i send it as an array? Like [embed1,embed2]

[hoary cargo]

this every time the bot starts ?

[quaint epoch]

no

obvi not

[final iron]

How would I see how many members my bot is watching over in total?

[quaint epoch]

in every server it's in?

[final iron]

Yup

Wait I may of got it

[hoary cargo]

first of all you need the members intent

[final iron]

Yeah I got it

[quaint epoch]

members = 0
for server in bot.guilds:
  members += server.member_count

idk if that works

[final iron]

its just len(self.bot.users)

bot.users returns a list of member objects

Or something

[hoary cargo]

that's pretty much wrong though

[quaint epoch]

whats wrong

you loop through the server and add all the members from the server to a variable

lemme try it myself

it worked

it worked perfectly

what do you mean?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send has an embeds kwarg

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=None, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, mention_author=None, view=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[slate swan]

curious, what does the abc mean?

[maiden fable]

Abstract class

[slate swan]

I don't think I've ever seen it being used in other libraries's docs

[maiden fable]

It just indicates that u shouldn't use these classes in your code and they are only meant for documentary purposes

[cold sonnet]

just every class

you shouldn't use main classes of dpy in code

[maiden fable]

Like every class which has a send method sunglasses the abc.Messageable class

[maiden fable]

Not "main"

[hoary cargo]

you can do that just by lenning the guild.members

[quaint epoch]

bruh

no

[hoary cargo]

yes

[cold sonnet]

well i dunno the word

[hoary cargo]

lmao

[cold sonnet]

base classes

[quaint epoch]

the total amount of people IN ALL of the servers the bot is in

[slate swan]

that needs member intents

[maiden fable]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/abstract-classes-in-python/

[slate swan]

member_count doesnt

[maiden fable]

@slate swan

[hoary cargo]

i specified above that you need it

[maiden fable]

Wait member_count doesn't need members intent?

[slate swan]

nope

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.member\_count

property member_count: int```
Returns the true member count regardless of it being loaded fully or not.

Warning

Are you using a virtual environment?

Also verify your interpreter is correct

[plain shadow]

try pip uninstall discord

and then pip install discord.py

idk for me it worked when it happened

[tacit token]

anybody?

[slim dagger]

no im not

[slim dagger]

alright ima try that

[tacit token]

pip install discord

[plain shadow]

and if it doesn't work try to install the developement version

[slim dagger]

is there a new version of python?

[plain shadow]

git clone https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
cd discord.py
python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]

[plain shadow]

3.10 is the lastest

[slim dagger]

lmfao that explains it

im using 3.3 rn

[plain shadow]

that's not a problem

it shouldn't influence it

[slim dagger]

weird

im still gonna get the new one anyways

[visual yarrow]

@plain shadow The command here is called !docs

[plain shadow]

ohhh right sorry i forgot i'm not in the dpy server

thank you!

Can anyone say me how to make a discord bot online whit python?

[upbeat otter]

how are you creating the buttons?

[upbeat otter]

you learn how to-

btw, docs

[obsidian relic]

where

[obsidian relic]

what

[upbeat otter]

huh?

[obsidian relic]

I want put a bot online

how

and with Python

just help me to do that

@upbeat otter

[upbeat otter]

no comment

[obsidian relic]

...

[upbeat otter]

cant even understand your question properly welp

[slim dagger]

my virtual environment is set, obviously i have discord.py updated, i updated everything and im still having this problem

[slate swan]

Well that's good that you got this error since you shouldn't use requests

[pastel cobalt]

Run pip install requests in console

[slate swan]

No.

i have a question

The module requests should never be used.

Use the following to make web requests:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-make-a-web-request

[pastel cobalt]

i am using that only

[slate swan]

Then you need to stop.

[pastel cobalt]

but it doesn't show any error till now

[slate swan]

If you don't use the correct way to make web requests don't make others to the same mistakes.

[quick gust]

ask

[slim dagger]

what modules do you use then?

[pastel cobalt]

...

[slim dagger]

if you don't mind me asking

[quick gust]

a non-blocking one like aiohttp

[slate swan]

It blocks your bot from doing anything until the request is done, which can drastically slow your bot.

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-make-a-web-request

[pastel cobalt]

oh

[slate swan]

aiohttp

[slate swan]

ok so to mention a member its member.mention because its a attr but in the source code its a function how does it work do since a function needs to be called with () and if i call it without it, it will just print the memory location

[slim dagger]

are all these fine?

just want to make sure

[slate swan]

not time

[quick gust]

not sure lol, someone more knowledgeable might be able to answer

[slate swan]

Yep

[slate swan]

!e
import time

print(time.time())

[unkempt canyon]

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

1641837109.4104993

[dire folio]

Uhm so all my commands stopped working does anyone know a possible reason

[slate swan]

oh thats a time module i thought it was used for something else🏃

[slate swan]

The on_message event

See this ^

@property
    def mention(self) -> str:
        """:class:`str`: Returns a string that allows you to mention the member."""
        if self.nick:
            return f"<@!{self._user.id}>"
        return f"<@{self._user.id}>"

thats how you mention a member but its a function how so its done .mention and not .mention() since its a function?

[dire folio]

Does one method run better than the other or is there no difference

[slate swan]

@property does the magic

[slate swan]

No difference

[slate swan]

ah ic thank you

[slate swan]

i mostly just use .listen() on all my events lol

[indigo karma]

Hey! I am trying to make a bot and i need to a ban/kick functionality to my bot

the coros ^

[indigo karma]

if message.content.startswith("$kick"):

Ik this is too wrong but is there any way that i could modify this

[slate swan]

modify it by how?

and yes thats wrong

use the command handler

not on_message events

and your spaces are really off

[indigo karma]

[e-mail] right?

[slate swan]

yea

okimii will guide u , hes a god

[indigo karma]

Oh nice!

[slate swan]

ive answered you already

[velvet tinsel]

use commands.Bot

[velvet tinsel]

oh uh well I

[indigo karma]

alrighty...i'll give it a try

[slate swan]

put the if statement in the function btw

[velvet tinsel]

Okimii

[slate swan]

thats me

[velvet tinsel]

Will it be said if I need out in one of the ot channels

[slate swan]

everywhere I go , I see disnake

[velvet tinsel]

Everywhere I go

I see ||python||

[slate swan]

disnake will be king

Let Disnake take over

[velvet tinsel]

Disnake rules the world now

[slate swan]

yes

disnake on top👑

[velvet tinsel]

We must hail disnake

[slate swan]

yes

[velvet tinsel]

I like the fact that you type fast

Unlike the others who type at 10 WPM

I send them something they reply after 10 fucking minutes

And all they say is “hi”

[slate swan]

130wpm go brrrr

I can feel the pain

[velvet tinsel]

Yeah

Lol😳

[velvet tinsel]

My top is 84 but that was set 2 years ago

mwahahhahaha I’m now unstoppable

[slate swan]

I can do 90 ez , never tested recently

Typing games got me through a lot of boring classes lmaoo

[velvet tinsel]

Me neither

I bet I can get 100

What do you use

[slate swan]

i can do 10cps🚶

Monkeytype

[slate swan]

👀

[slate swan]

easily can do 11 sometimes

[velvet tinsel]

ah

I'll try

[slate swan]

Impressive :3

[slate swan]

😉

[velvet tinsel]

85 WPM

eh

I can do better than that

I'm not even touch-typing

[slate swan]

Idk how to properly type and the fastest I've done is 135 lol. I use one finger on my right hand and 4 on my left

Horrible at texting tho 💀

[cedar plank]

hey how i make the bot unban everyone

unban all

[velvet tinsel]

uh

[slate swan]

use a for loop through the list of bans and unban them

[cedar plank]

[velvet tinsel]

lol

I love cats

I'm making a website dedicated to cats ❤️

ignore doge-net

my computer is broken

idk why

[slate swan]

async for member in bans():
    await member.unban()

would that work ?

[velvet tinsel]

okimii have you downloaded splitgate yet

[slate swan]

no

[velvet tinsel]

do it

[slate swan]

[hoary cargo]

i mean, they have a clear rule about not mentioning any forks in their server, why u so surprised

[slate swan]

the guy was asking for a fork? lmao

[hoary cargo]

you should've dmed the name then their rules idk

is someone using Hata from here or disnake/pycord for an honest opinion

[pseudo cradle]

Can you make more commands as trigger for one action?

[slate swan]

i mostly use disnake

[slate swan]

wut

[pseudo cradle]

Like "!test1" and "!test2" will output "test"

So if I say !test1 it will say test and if I say !test2 it will also say test

Without creating 2 separated commands

[slate swan]

just use on msg and wait for those 2 msgs

if message.content.startswith("!test1" or "!test2"):
    ...

[pseudo cradle]

Oh ok

[slate swan]

!or

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[honest shoal]

related to?

like clever

[honest shoal]

hmmm

[karmic totem]

funny

whatever

[hoary cargo]

Ig you can use aliases here If you want exactly the same output but just a different name of the command

[slate swan]

thats good aswell lol

@bot.command(aliases=["test2"])

dont know why that wasnt my first option

[round robin]

this just gives me a syntax error. what am i doing wrong? ```py

r = requests.post(config["sync_check_url"], data = data)
except requests.ConnectionError:
    await ctx.send("@round robin,@wet relic, Auth server is down. Please try again later.")```

[slate swan]

request isnt async btw

[round robin]

is that why it cant work?

how do i make it not async when still doing the same thing

[slate swan]

!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
Check out this list for even more!

[slate swan]

use aiohttp

[round robin]

i need it to wait for the response from the website

does it always wait anyway before it continues if its not async

[slate swan]

have you read what was in the embed?

[round robin]

some of it

i was asking as i was still reading

[slate swan]

tl;dr when you do a request with the request lib the bot will not do anything until the request is done since its a sync lib you will need a async web request lib like aiohttp

[round robin]

is there a way to get around that

by using functions that arent async

so i can still use the requests module

[slate swan]

nope

[round robin]

would it make the function async

[slate swan]

aiohttp is very similiar

[round robin]

ok

[slate swan]

!pypi aiohttp

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp v3.8.1

Async http client/server framework (asyncio)

[round robin]

ill take a look at it

[left raptor]

does the python script have to be running for the bot to work?

[slate swan]

yes

[left raptor]

is there a way to have it run continuously?

[round robin]

u can run it on a vps

[slate swan]

if you dont run the file which runs the bot it wont do anything

[round robin]

then its not on ur pc but its on another computer somewhere else

[slate swan]

you can self host or use a vps

[slate swan]

a server

[left raptor]

but you need to buy the server space, discord won't provide it?

[round robin]

well basicly same thing

[round robin]

nope

[slate swan]

i mean but a server is a big computer with different tasks

[round robin]

for a simple discord.py bot u shouldnt need more then 200mb of ram and u can get those pretty cheap still

i recomend sparked host for discord bots

they have decent prices

or pebble host also does discord bots i think

[slate swan]

digital ocean is good

[round robin]

do they do bot hosting

[slate swan]

it gives you 1gb of ram iirc for 5usd a month

[round robin]

thats not that good

[slate swan]

very overkill

[slate swan]

it is lmao

[round robin]

contabo.com does 8gb of ram for 6 dollars a month

and 4 cores

[slate swan]

not sure who they are

@left raptor https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/343944376055103488/874667287918026802

[round robin]

their ddos protection isnt great but u probably wont be using it as a public vps

[slate swan]

welp thats the downside of it

[round robin]

ya kinda

i got ddosed on it but it was like 5gb/s and it held up good enough

[slate swan]

still not very good of a option

[round robin]

i didnt notice anything untill they emailed me lol

they probably wont be running the bot on a vps they will be sharing with

so its probably fine to get it for their use case

[dire folio]

i have this:

while t != timer:
        try:
            guess = await client.wait_for('message', check=is_correct, timeout=timer)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await ctx.send('Time has ran out!')
        
        if guess.content == answer:
            await ctx.send('Well done! You are correct!')
            break
        
        elif guess.content != answer:
            await ctx.send('Your punctuation or spelling was incorrect. Try again!')

but it only looks for a message once and not repeatedly

[pearl cove]

Guys, what extension do you use to make discord bot in Python?

[round robin]

nextcord, pycord, dissnake

any work

i dont recomend discord.py anymore because its not supported

[velvet tinsel]

uh...what does it do?

[velvet tinsel]

you can still use it

nothing from stopping you

but yeah it is unsupported

I'd go with disnake.

[round robin]

all i said was it wasnt recomended

didnt say u couldnt use it

[dire folio]

basically its supposed to check if a message is the same as a string during like a 5sec period of time

[velvet tinsel]

but what happens instead

[dire folio]

this is the command

@client.command(aliases=['tr'])
@commands.has_role('Owner')
async def typeracer(ctx):
    timer = random.randint(4,7)
    answer = 'A test sentence!'
    userid = ctx.author.id
    t=0

    def is_correct(ctx):
        return ctx.author.id == userid

    send = '``'
    send+= answer
    send += '``'
    await ctx.send(f'You have {timer} seconds')
    await ctx.send(f'Type this sentence:\n{send}')

    while t != timer:
        try:
            guess = await client.wait_for('message', check=is_correct, timeout=timer)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await ctx.send('Time has ran out!')
        
        if guess.content == answer:
            await ctx.send('Well done! You are correct!')
            break
        
        elif guess.content != answer:
            await ctx.send('Your punctuation or spelling was incorrect. Try again!')

[dire folio]

it only checks for a message once

i want it to check messages until the timeout

[slate swan]

!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**...

[slate swan]

it has the timeout kwarg

[dire folio]

confusion

[slate swan]

you want it to wait for a msg until a certain time?

[dire folio]

basically i want it so if the guess is wrong it will continue to wait for messages

currently it only waits for the first message

[slate swan]

what you need to do is check if the message content actually equals the answer string

otherwise it just waits for the first message sent in any channel

[slate swan]

if message.content == "str"

[slate swan]

no, he should add it into his check function instead

[slate swan]

ah sorry didnt know what you ment

and no your wrong

hes waiting for any msg if its wrong it sends a msg that its wrong if its right it continues the action

here's the problem with that:
wait_for will return the first event that meets the check criteria

so if he's not testing for the correct message.content in the check function it will just return for one single message and none that come after

check = lambda check: if message.content == "msg"

that just checks for that msg only

but as said on msg alone checks for any msg you would have to do a check for that msg

[pearl cove]

thanks guy

[round robin]

ok

[hoary cargo]

tbh here i like using ``py

[round robin]

(i dont care its not async) will else fire even if its not able to connect? py if r.text == "1": role = bot.get_role(config["user_role"]) await bot.add_roles(ctx.author, role) else: await ctx.send("You are not registered on https://karen.pics/ .")

[hoary cargo]

zz

[slate swan]

wdym

[slate swan]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[hoary cargo]

if message.content in [''] : 

so you can add more options in there

[round robin]

i like to do that for a list of admin ids so that it restricts commands to admins

or if author.id is in

[slate swan]

basic py he can do it himself

¯_(ツ)_/¯

in this case you should've been matching against the correct string he defined earlier:

check = lambda check: if message.content == answer

there isn't a list of strings it should match against, it's just one

[slate swan]

just use the command decorator for roles or perms lmfao

[round robin]

i want cirtian ids

not cirtian permissions

[hoary cargo]

probably his bot is just for his server

[slate swan]

i think he doesnt have much context as he wants the wait for a msg that if correct it does an action if not it sends something and continues to wait for

[dire folio]

i get this

    guess = await client.wait_for('message', check = lambda check: if message.content == answer, timeout=timer)
                                                                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

sorry wrong thing sent

[slate swan]

that would only wait for a msg that starts with what answer contains

so if answer is a string it would wait for that str

[slate swan]

no, that would wait for a message that is exactly equal to what answer contains

[slate swan]

yeah mb

[slate swan]

that's literally the point of his code, he made a typing speed test

[slate swan]

ok didnt know about it?

[dire folio]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

dont use a lambda tbh

use a function in this case

def check(msg):
    if msg.content == answer and msg.author.id == user_id:
        return

[dire folio]

how would i send a msg if it the content is not the same as answer

[slate swan]

def check(msg):
    if msg.content == answer and msg.author.id == user_id:
        await msg.send("correct")
    else:
        await msg.send("incorrect")

i think this can work im not sure

[dire folio]

nope

SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function

[slate swan]

yeah lol just noticed

ig set a var value and send the var ig

im just confused rn with lambda and im having a headache

[wary zenith]

how do i fix this

and what exactly causes me to exceed ratelimit

[slate swan]

What library do you recommend?

[wary zenith]

???

[slate swan]

I heard discord.py is no longer supported

[wary zenith]

discord.py still works fine, but if you need to you can use pycord

[slate swan]

Yes

I would like to try Nextcord

[hoary cargo]

disnake too or hikaru

[slate swan]

Okay

[wary zenith]

^

[untold token]

If you want to try out an entirely different library than dpy, then hikari is a very good choice

If you want to use a fork with stable and updated features, use disnake / nextcord

[hoary cargo]

It will go away by doing nothing in a while
Though stop spamming the api lol

It might be from the host if you use one

[final iron]

pycord

[jade tartan]

Hi my host isnt logging me to my discord or is not authorizing to login it says

Do you know how to fix it?

[manic wing]

redirect_uri

[green bluff]

how to make a bots message that the author can only view

bot sends a message

only author can view it

[final iron]

ephermal kwarg

[green bluff]

whats an ephermal kwarg

[tidal hawk]

google

[final iron]

It can only be done through an interaction

Not through

But in response

So you can't do it with your everyday command

[round robin]

does guild.members contain offline members? ex if i use py for member in ctx.guild.members: print(member) will that print offline members too?

[final iron]

I don't see why it wouldn't

[round robin]

normaly u cant get offline members with a member fetch

at least with selfbots u cant

i wasnt sure with normal bots

[final iron]

heh

Looks like someone made a self bot

[round robin]

i didnt

on bot making threads people always talk about fetching members and they couldnt find out how to fetch offline users i think

[final iron]

It should work

Worked for me

[round robin]

ok

[left crater]

how would i make the bot send a dm to a certain person

this is my code

async def on_message(message):
  user = client.get_user(12345678)
  if user_message.lower() == 'dm':
        await message.user.send("stuff")```

[green bluff]

i still dont get ephermal kwargs

[jade tartan]

Yes

What redirect url do i need to make it work?

[green bluff]

@left crater why client.event

i mean its gonna be much easier for client.command

[left crater]

hmm ok

[green bluff]

@left crater

u could do that

[left crater]

ok

[green bluff]

like !hello @awdawd

it dms them hi

[quaint epoch]

how do you check if a message replying?

[final iron]

!d discord.Message.reference

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reference

The message that this message references. This is only applicable to messages of type MessageType.pins_add, crossposted messages created by a followed channel integration, or message replies.

New in version 1.5.

[final iron]

If no message is mentioned it will return None

[green bluff]

@final iron i still cant figure ephermal kwargs

[final iron]

It can only be used within the context of an interaction iirc

[green bluff]

really

only in an interaction

[final iron]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=None, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, mention_author=None, view=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[green bluff]

can it be like !hello and it sends back an ephermal kwarg

[final iron]

No ephermal kwarg

[green bluff]

oh okay

[pliant gulch]

You only get ephemeral messages with interaction responses

[green bluff]

so like a clikc

so it wont return an ephermal message if i do !hello

like u cant make it return one

[final iron]

No

[green bluff]

oh

[final iron]

I need command ideas

I'm running out

[green bluff]

r u making a bot?

[final iron]

Oh, I haven't even made moderation commands yet

[final iron]

Yes

[green bluff]

also heres another idea, giveaways

after u make moderation commands u can work on that

[tidal hawk]

How many messages can a bot iterate through in channel's history?

There must be some kind of limit

[final iron]

You mean a ratelimit?

[tidal hawk]

i guess

[manic wing]

i think its like 1000 a minute or smthin

dont quote me on that

[tidal hawk]

okeei

[wary zenith]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.startswith("dm".lower()):
    dm = await message.author.create_dm()
    await dm.send("stuff")```

you should probably use the commands portion of discord.py tho

in that it would be more like:

@client.command()
async def dm(ctx):
  dm = await ctx.author.create_dm()
  await dm.send("stuff")```

@left crater

[final iron]

No need to create the dm

just await ctx.author.send()

[wary zenith]

i tried that in my program and it didnt work so i just made the dm

[slate swan]

I'm very stupid (

[hard trail]

I've been having trouble putting in the code. So I've created a "bad word" restriction and it works the way I want it too but however I want to have exceptions for example MODS can say the words but the Members cannot. (I had a bit of help from a youtube video).

async def on_message(msg):
  for word in bad_words:
    if word in msg.content:
      await msg.delete()
    
  await bot.process_commands(msg)
  if msg.author.has_permissions.manage_messages:```

How far I got

So if the msg.author has the manage_messages permissions I want it to ignore them

Ping me when you can help

[slate swan]

Any help ? (Python version : 3.9.9 / Hosted on Pterodactyl)

P.S. : Ping me if you can help :>

[hoary cargo]

well, are you using dpy or pycord

[slate swan]

I installed py-cord

[left crater]

i dont want it to send it to the author

i want to send it to a certain user by using their discord id

[wary zenith]

then to who?

ok then add a discord.Member param to the function

[left crater]

i want to do a slight bit of trolling on my friend

[wary zenith]

kinda like this python async def dm(ctx, member: discord.Member.id): dm = await member.create_dm() await dm.send("stuff")

this should work i think

[left crater]

ok

[wary zenith]

you would use it like (prefix)dm (discord user's id)

[left crater]

do i just add an if then function before dm.send

[wary zenith]

nope

if then doesnt exist anyway

its if elif else

[tidal hawk]

so does discord.Member.id convert the param into member object?

[left crater]

like if user_message.lower() == "dm"

[wary zenith]

yes

[tidal hawk]

didn't know that notations work like that

[wary zenith]

no

it just tells us what class the thing belongs to

or in this case is supposed to belong to

[wary zenith]

gl

[quaint epoch]

could you do this?py @bot.command() async def kick(ctx): Member = await ctx.guild.fetch_member(ctx.message.reference.author_id) await Member.kick(reason='Bye bye')

by finding the person that sent message that you replied to, and kick them?

[tidal hawk]

kicks the ctx.author?

[quaint epoch]

no

[wary zenith]

nvm i suck

[quaint epoch]

the author of the message that you replied to

[wary zenith]

@left crater are you ok with just using discord.Member class and then using the code to generate the id

[slate swan]

@client.command(aliases=['dm'])
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def mp(ctx, user: discord.User, *, value):
    await user.send(f"{value}")
    print("Message sent")```

You can use that

[wary zenith]

or you can listen to this pro

[slate swan]

👀

[quaint epoch]

^^^

[wary zenith]

he wants to use the id though

[tidal hawk]

Should work? 😂

[quaint epoch]

yes

[wary zenith]

yes i think

[slate swan]

I see.

You can use it I think

[quaint epoch]

you should convert the param member to int, then fetch the member id

at least that's what i do

[left crater]

but what would i have to type in order for it dm

like for example !dm

[slate swan]

!dm <user> [message]

[wary zenith]

!dm (members discord name and his gamertag) (your message)

[slate swan]

Oops

[left crater]

ok ill try it

File "C:\Users\nick\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\main.py", line 91, in <module>
@client.command(aliases=['dm'])
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'command'

[slate swan]

client

[wary zenith]

use the other thing

discord.ext.commands.Bot()

[slate swan]

like @botname.command

[wary zenith]

you defined client as discord.Client() right

but you gotta do discord.ext.commands.Bot() to do this one

and define your command prefix

[slate swan]

@mp.error
async def mp_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send("You can use that command, you don’t have the perms !")
    await ctx.message.delete()```

Error message if you don’t have perms

[wary zenith]

as a kwarg of your client

[wary zenith]

you might want to add asyncio.wait(3) before you delete

[slate swan]

Yep

[wary zenith]

something like python @mp.error async def mp_error(ctx, error): if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions): await ctx.send("You can use that command, you don’t have the perms !") await asyncio.wait(3) await ctx.message.delete()

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='+', help_command=None)

token = "TOKEN_HERE"

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is ready!")
    await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online,
                                 activity=discord.Game("+help"))


@client.command(aliases=['dm'])
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def mp(ctx, user: discord.User, *, value):
    await user.send(f"{value}")
    print("Message sent")

@mp.error
async def mp_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send("You can use that command, you don’t have the perms !")
    await ctx.message.delete()

Here it is

change the command_prefix to your bot prefix

[final iron]

Me when spoon feeding

[left crater]

god damn

[slate swan]

¿

[left crater]

also where do u learn the discord library

[slate swan]

wiki

[final iron]

Docs

[slate swan]

what is this

[left crater]

skill

[slate swan]

not skill

skill is when you subclass Bot like me and others

and that bot constructor why that bad naming smh

thats like naming a lemon an apple

and dont change your presence on ready smh use the kwargs for it

[hard trail]

I keep on getting an attribute error

async def on_message(msg):
  guild = msg.guild 
  if msg.author.permissions.manage_messages:
            # does nothing (skips)
            ...
  else:
   for word in bad_words:
    if word in msg.content:
      await msg.delete()
    
  await bot.process_commands(msg)```

Everytime the event is triggered this shows up in the console

[slate swan]

i dont think the member class has that attr

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

[slate swan]

and use a member obj tbh

[green bluff]

can i make /commands

in discord.py

[slate swan]

no

[green bluff]

why

discord says u can

and mee6 can

[slate swan]

dpy doesnt have slash commands

[green bluff]

oh

bruh

[slate swan]

mee6 has a private api wrapper probably
