i have met this problem

[bitter perch]

your id is probably wrong

[slate swan]

oke

[bitter perch]

try recopying it and trying again

;-;

[bitter perch]

do you have member intents

[slate swan]

yes

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

this one ?

[bitter perch]

well guild.owner is returning none

[slate swan]

hmmm

[bitter perch]

please stop ping replying every last message

[slate swan]

oke

so how i can solve this

[bitter perch]

what are you doing with that intents object

are you passing it to the bot's constructor

[slate swan]

i just want to mention the owner

[bitter perch]

i see that

can i have the code when you do ```py
bot = commands.Bot(...)

[slate swan]

quanganh = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '', intents=intents)

[bitter perch]

i have no idea which other times guild.owner returns none unless the get from cache fails, i guess.

you could try guild.owner_id

[slate swan]

ok thank you

[final pelican]

This command works when I used only pls give without any mention.

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return
    if message.content.startswith('pls give @final pelican'):
        await message.channel.send('Money Sent {}'.format(message.author.name)) ```

Can anyone help?

[cursive barn]

so firstly, you should consider the discord.ext.commands extension which allows for built in commands.

but for your current error, you need to instead look for the base command and then derive attributes/arguments later. for example,

if message.content.startswith('pls give') and len(message.mentions) > 0:
  recipient = message.mentions[0]

doing it the way you are currently, you need to make conditionals for every person because the argument is hard coded

[slate swan]

i recommend you use commands

should have a positional argument and typehint it as a member obj

[cursive barn]

this is the best way, but you should understand the error in your logic

[jade tartan]

Is someone experienced with flask?

[slate swan]

#web-development would be a better place for this question ig , unless you are about to ask replit's keep_alive.py

[jade tartan]

Could you help me something with that? Cuz no body is really replying to me

[slate swan]

what do you need help with?

[jade tartan]

I need help with making a discord bot dashboard for my server

[slate swan]

!pypi discord-ext-dashboard

[unkempt canyon]

discord-ext-dashboard v0.2.7

A webhook and request based discord.py extension for making a bot dashboard.

[slate swan]

this may be helpful

[slate swan]

^^^

[jade tartan]

Ok thanks but how do i make the url direct me to the discord login auoth

Aouth

[jade tartan]

^

[slate swan]

havent tried anything related with that , sorry

[vast gale]

wow 40 minutes without a message here

[final iron]

Not uncommon around these times

[vast gale]

dang

its only worth mentioning to me because i heard that this was the most active channel here 😂

[final iron]

Who told you that?

This is definitely not the most active channel

[vast gale]

staff lol

[final iron]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Firefox is a god send if you're working with an api

[slate swan]

They probably meant most active help channel

Cause general is anyways always active

[final iron]

JSON formatting

[vast gale]

ye

[tender estuary]

how to check my discord.py version

[final iron]

print(discord.__version__)

[vast gale]

or on the cmd line: python -m discord -v

[tender estuary]

is 1.7.3 rewrite?

[vast gale]

wdym?

[tender estuary]

my discord.py is rewrite or async ver

I run 1.7.3 version of discord.py

[vast gale]

there's two rewrite versions

the initial rewrite was to v1 which was also the async version
now there was a second rewrite to 2.0

[crisp bloom]

I need some help with my bot some help pls

so I have this code that lets the user enter their name and birthdate, which then gets registered in a seperate file, but say the user decides to quit mid-way through entering their birthdate, I decided to implement this code

oh wait

I think I see it

nvm

it isnt fixed bruh

[hot cobalt]

You have break before the send

break ends the loop immediately

So that send will never be reached

[slate swan]

Why name.content when your variable is birthdate, it should be birthdate.content.
Don't use break before sending the message. Send the message, then use break or better; return.

[hot cobalt]

Also this is a bit weird. Firstly, is data already defined somewhere?

And why is it global?

And why are you closing it before opening it, and then just leaving it open

[spring flax]

async def send(ctx, message):
    return await ctx.send(message)

How can I make this for me to be able to write await send("message here") instead of await send(ctx, message=[my message here]?

[pliant gulch]

Yea was about to say why you closing the pointer and right after reading from it

[vast gale]

and no check for the message to be sent from the author

[hot cobalt]

Well you'd have to pass it ctx

[vast gale]

you can't

you'd need to make it an instance method attached to a messegable instance

[spring flax]

okay, well then what about how do I make it so that I only write await send(ctx, "message here") if possible

[hot cobalt]

You've already done that

[spring flax]

Right now, I do await send(ctx, message="my message")

[vast gale]

they both work

[hot cobalt]

You can just do await send(ctx, "my message")

Either way will work

[spring flax]

oh...i thought I tried it but it raised an error let me see

[hot cobalt]

I assume you're just messing around and whatever. But just in case, don't actually use a function like this in real code, it doesn't serve a purpose. If anything it just damages the readability of your code

[untold token]

Lol

[hot cobalt]

Most active topical channel for sure

[untold token]

First of all, don't use globals

[vast gale]

I definitely use methods like this in my code

[untold token]

and can you send me the entire code

[vast gale]

although often I set defaults and other kwargs

[untold token]

and don't use replit for hosting discord bots

[vast gale]

so it ends up being a custom send method which adds an embed and other things :)

[spring flax]

it was just an example.
I just wanted to use it on embeds like thsi

async def ErrorEmbed(ctx, message):
        embed = disnake.Embed(color=disnake.Color.red(), description=f"{self.bot.error_emoji} {message}")
        return await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[vast gale]

https://offline.repl.it

[untold token]

That's the job for ya

[vast gale]

nO

[untold token]

I will send the code and you will compile it

yEs

[slate swan]

lmao why does this even exist

[pliant gulch]

Are eval times like 3-4 business days or something lmao

[cedar dragon]

Collecting personal information, eh?
https://www.congress.gov/bill/105th-congress/senate-bill/2326/text

[pliant gulch]

Oh it's even longer

[untold token]

7 days

[slate swan]

doesnt matter , if its with consent

^

[pliant gulch]

Who even asks for this lmao

[slate swan]

discord is 13+ already

[pliant gulch]

this is the most dumbest idea I've seen in a few motnhs

[slate swan]

I would firstly inform yourself before sending some links with laws and everything.

[vast gale]

in related news mee6 is shit

[quick gust]

bruh

[vast gale]

(mee6 has a bday feature)

[slate swan]

yea

[untold token]

Lol

[vast gale]

mee6 also has an nft feature

[cedar dragon]

Well, I'd consider the year to be too sensitive

[vast gale]

https://mee6.xyz/nft

[untold token]

Mee6 logs stuff too

[slate swan]

Again, it's with consent.

[quick gust]

it actually states anyone till the age of 16 but that doesn't change the fact that it's with consent so it doesn't matter

[cedar dragon]

Okay I get it

[untold token]

Makes me hate it even more

[slate swan]

Read the Discord's developer policy, privacy policy and terms of service.

[cedar dragon]

Nah, depends on the country, but this is #discord-bots not #lawyers-room

[untold token]

Hello krypton

[quick gust]

You sent me a US bill, I'm talking about what u sent but sure let's end it

[vast gale]

discord is us based so most rules apply to the US, some rules are different when operating in different countries but as there's no way to determine where a member resides and what laws apply to them from a bots PoV, I wonder...

[quick gust]

My friend got banned from discord because he was 15 and in Germany u need to be 16+ to use discord, idk if that means anything

[pliant gulch]

Guess gating all the commands in their bot wasn't profitable

[final iron]

Why do bots gate custom commands

They're so incredibly easy to make

[pliant gulch]

Same reason why Marak trolled color.js

OSS is hard to make money from!

[final iron]

Literally have no idea what you're talking about

🏃

[cedar dragon]

Main reason I do open source is.. for fun

But other people might want to make money off FOSS/OSS/free software/open source

[zealous dagger]

[final iron]

Oh, open source software

[zealous dagger]

[pliant gulch]

I'd say the main reason is to help the community, although not sure about you but I find maintaining a project pretty stressful instead of fun

[final iron]

If you want to steal the emojis ids to use in your bot send them in #bot-commands

So they don't clog up the help channels

[cedar dragon]

I'm not a project maintainer... yet

So I don't know what it's like to be a maintainer of a big project

[pliant gulch]

Maintained 2 ish med projects and 1 big project

Very stressful

[cedar dragon]

I mostly just submit patches

[pliant gulch]

The code part wasn't even that stressful, it was the contributors lmao

[cedar dragon]

Did any of them use.. offensive language?

[pliant gulch]

Nope, my coding style is just unique I guess and I try to make everything clean

I have to do a lot of damage control

[final iron]

You should talk to caeden. He's making a project and I think he's constantly having a stroke because of his team

[cedar dragon]

What is it that they don't like about their team

[tender estuary]

I do, then just use uptimerobot... It continues if I close my PC

[final iron]

He likes them but it's just really chaotic

[pliant gulch]

This is why I'm rewriting my big projects entire codebase

[final iron]

Like really chaotic

[pliant gulch]

😔

[cedar dragon]

Can you show us the github repo link

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/an-dyy/Lefi

Got a new private repo where my rework is, very radically different

[cedar dragon]

Nice Discord API wrapper

[pliant gulch]

I don't really like it as it is right now

Feels to discord.py like

[desert heart]

Contributing is fun. Maintaining, not so much. Some people tend to feel too entitled.

[pliant gulch]

And that's mostly because I copied a lot of the semantics

[cedar dragon]

Well, I'm more of a C/C++ dev, not sure if I can rate your Python code properly..

[pliant gulch]

Second that for sure, its more fun esp when it's a challenge

[vast gale]

yes

[slate swan]

he kicked me because i didnt have the same skill level as people who have 2+ years of experience while i dont even have a year and then he said i was never gonna be a software dev which idrc

[tender estuary]

ouch

I picked python in 2018 I guess.

Then left it ofc

[final iron]

...

[slate swan]

I am trying to make a command thats basically a typeracer.
Right now it works ??typeracer sends an image with a sentance users in the channel can type it out and first to type wins. It works till here.

Now I am trying to make it such that if a user does ??typeracer @user then it challenges the user and then does that but restricts responses only to them. I have managed to get the confirmation and everything by setting user to None but I still dont get how I can lock it to just those 2

This is the part of the code https://mystb.in/WatsonChesterDaddy.python

[slate swan]

i only have 10months of experience smh

[tender estuary]

You still seem to know much

[slate swan]

thank you

[vast gale]

10 months? pft I have over 525||600||+ minutes of experience

[slate swan]

a year🚶

[vast gale]

and yet you know more than me 🤡

[slate swan]

no

[final iron]

He sweats discord bots

[slate swan]

no i dont

[final iron]

🧢

Okay I sleep now

[valid galleon]

so my discord bot uses mongodb to store a lot of stuff like prefixes, user messages in guilds, etc. now im making a few events, so that the bot removes all the guild related data when it leaves. i can make the on_guild_remove() events, but i want to make an on_ready() event which scans the collection and removes data of any guilds its not a part of. how can i do that?

[slate swan]

🚪🚶🧍‍♂️

[slate swan]

Could someone help

[slate swan]

on_ready for that isnt the best thing, you would have to get all guild ids and compare them to all the guild ids your bot is in then accordingly remove the data. The issue with this is as your bot grows dealing with larger data slows down a bot. on_guild_remove is the best way to do this.

[valid galleon]

alright, thanks for helping

[slate swan]

kek

For me, I have been coding bots for at least 3-4 years

[tender estuary]

dayum

[slate swan]

I remember the migration of discord.py 0.16.x to 1.x

he said i couldnt be a software dev(dream job) so i will prove him wrong :))

Everyone can be, if you have enough confidence in yourself :)

[slate swan]

i do a little immature kid wont stop me :))

People said I would never be happy, get a girlfriend and have a good job. And here I am, having all of this

So you will without a doubt achieve it ^^ Not having experience in Discord bots doesn't prove anything.

[slate swan]

love to see it ❤️

[pliant gulch]

Another person back in the days when no bot accounts existed and you had to use email and password to login with the API!

[slate swan]

wow you guys deserve the verified bot dev badge :))

That was the good old times ^^

[slate swan]

oh wait you already have it :))

Just some pixels on my profile, doesn't really matter

[slate swan]

ik but someone that has been here for so long should have atleast something to be known of

[pliant gulch]

Pretty sure at this time discord.py was actually called pydiscord as well

[slate swan]

dang thats really old

Yeah

You can probably find old forks

client = discord.Client()
client.login("email", "password")
client.run()

Was something like that

wow

[desert heart]

That was surely longer than 3-4 years ago

[cedar dragon]

👀

[slate swan]

Yeah that was longer, I however got into really programming a bot 3-4 years ago.

[desert heart]

That was probably like 2016 I'm guessing

[slate swan]

I did some small tests back when pydiscord was a thing, wasn't amazed.

Yeah, that was at the very beginning, so around 6 years ago I'd guess.

[pliant gulch]

Danm 6 years went past crazy fast

Remember when I signed up for discord right at late 2015

[slate swan]

Old forks probably still have commit dates.

Anyways, I got to work on my projects; have a great day and see you later ^^

[slate swan]

cya

[pliant gulch]

Oh on this account I created it in 2017 😔

Lost the old one sadly

[spring flax]

What happepend?

[pliant gulch]

Just abandoned

No longer have the email to the account nor the password as I've transferred to protonmail from gmail

[cedar plank]

hey whats wrong

[hot cobalt]

Chances are the issue is on the line above

[cedar plank]

nice

ty

[spring verge]

has anyone used heroku?

if yes how did u use env variables.. did u push the env file to your github repo?

[oblique adder]

how do I use ctx.invoke in on_message event ?

[slate swan]

You need to use bot.get_context

To get a Context object variable

[oblique adder]

bot.get_context(message , cls=cls) ?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_context

await get_context(message, *, cls=<class 'discord.ext.commands.context.Context'>)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Returns the invocation context from the message.

This is a more low-level counter-part for [`process_commands()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands "discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands") to allow users more fine grained control over the processing.

The returned context is not guaranteed to be a valid invocation context, [`Context.valid`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.valid "discord.ext.commands.Context.valid") must be checked to make sure it is. If the context is not valid then it is not a valid candidate to be invoked under [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

[slate swan]

Yes, however you need to await it as it's a coroutine.

Without cls=cls

That's not needed in your case.

[oblique adder]

so If i want to invoke a command I do await self.bot.get_context(message).invoke(self.bot.get_command(commandname, args='whatever') ?

[slate swan]

As I said, you need to await it.

[oblique adder]

i did

[slate swan]

No you didn't.

Correct would be
await bot.get_context....

[oblique adder]

yea it is await bot.get

[slate swan]

And why are you using once self.bot and once just bot?

[oblique adder]

changed

[oblique adder]

so is it correct now ?

[slate swan]

Look good, however I would save the Context object in a variable before using .invoke().

The documentation says the Context object is not always valid, and needs to be checked before.

[oblique adder]

how do i check if it is valid ?

[slate swan]

The returned context is not guaranteed to be a valid invocation context, Context.valid must be checked to make sure it is. If the context is not valid then it is not a valid candidate to be invoked under invoke().

It's just a matter of reading the documentation :)

[oblique adder]

ctx  =await self.bot.get_context(message)
if ctx.valid:
   await ctx.invoke(self.bot.get_command(commandname), args='whatever')```

[slate swan]

Seems good to me

[oblique adder]

ok thanks

[pliant gulch]

The last line doesn't look right to me

[oblique adder]

which line ?

[slate swan]

Oh yeah

The args go after get_command.

Now that's better.

[oblique adder]

so this should be correct?

[slate swan]

Considering the command name and the arguments are correct, yes.

[oblique adder]

ctx  =await self.bot.get_context(message)
if ctx.valid:
   await ctx.invoke(self.bot.get_command("play"), args=message.content)
else:
   print("ttt")```
the ctx : context is invalid it printed "ttt"

[spring verge]

any host recommendations for discord bots?

[vale wing]

Galaxygate just 3$/mo

Also check pins

[spring verge]

oh the vps pin?

[vale wing]

Yeah

I checked them all turns out the galaxygate is the best option but it is up to you what to choose

[spring verge]

ohh well Imma check out galaxygate thx

[spring verge]

also is standard 1gb 3$ good for beginning?

[vale wing]

Totally

[slate swan]

yes 1gb of ram is overkill ngl

[spring verge]

oh

[vale wing]

I have several bots on that server and one is at > 100 guilds

Works fine

[spring verge]

okay thx

[slate swan]

how much memory usage?

[vale wing]

If you need help with server setup feel free to ask me because it might be difficult to figure out

[vale wing]

With 5 bots running it's like 500mb

[slate swan]

can i as well?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[slate swan]

ic thats nice

[slate swan]

ill keep it in mind

[vale wing]

I wonder how to run bot in docker

Omg no way my nitro expired and I got a nice tag

[spring verge]

sure 🙂

[slate swan]

It depends the number of guilds your bot is in and events you listen to.

[slate swan]

ik

i just wanted to know the average of it

There's no average, depends who you ask.

[oblique adder]

Why is the ctx invalid?

[slate swan]

4GB is the bare minimum in my opinion.

[slate swan]

got a point there

[pliant gulch]

I don't see how events matter really, the important part is the cache as that is all stored in memory

[slate swan]

How can the bot get access to cached things without listening to them.

[pliant gulch]

bot.get_

[slate swan]

Not listening to some events leads to less cache being used, as you can't use get_ but you need to fetch the data, right?

[pliant gulch]

When you identify to the gateway you receive GUILD_CREATE for x amount of guilds your bot is in, this event contains the data corresponding to the guild which can be cached including it's membrrs

[slate swan]

You won't get cached all messages if you don't listen to the events accordingly, example for the on_raw_reaction_add.

[pliant gulch]

The cache is then updated when a new event corresponding to the object is received

Thus in theory due to the gateway you won't need to fetch

[slate swan]

Wait, I meant intents, not events.

If you disable not needed intents, you don't get any of the events.

[pliant gulch]

Sure, if you disabled member intents that would significantly cut the memory usage

As both member cache and user cache depend on it

[slate swan]

Yeah, I confused events and intents; my bad ^^

can you guys keep talking about cache im learning allot

[primal cliff]

Hello

I am using a website is replit and I want to do it like when ever someone got muted by a other bot it will shows up a log

[vale wing]

You may implement it via on_member_update event

!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...

[vale wing]

Holy cow how many guilds does your bot (or bots?) serve if I can ask? Or there are other apps

[slate swan]

Why isn't this working?
It isn't even showing an error

[vale wing]

How do you define client

Also this method of comparing channel type is not good

Use either == operator or isinstance

[slate swan]

How do I give default permission to user in a specific channel?

[vale wing]

To set permissions for the channel there's this

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.set\_permissions

await set_permissions(target, *, overwrite=see - below, reason=None, **permissions)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The `target` parameter should either be a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that belongs to guild.

The `overwrite` parameter, if given, must either be `None` or [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite"). For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the `overwrite` parameter.

If the `overwrite` parameter is `None`, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

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

[slate swan]

isnt message content already a str

[untold token]

Yes it is

message.content returns the contents of the message as an str

[slate swan]

yeah

[untold token]

Create a docker file for your project, build a container image for your project and then the run the container

[maiden fable]

@untold token yk, not everyone is as well versed as u, with docker containers lol

[vale wing]

@untold token could you please look at #help-falafel

[untold token]

You can reference docker documentation to create your own docker container image and run it

[vale wing]

I understand that alr

[untold token]

Create a new one

[vale wing]

But I know how to do all that I only need to figure out where does the docker run the file

[untold token]

That channel is dormant

[vale wing]

Answer it here or in dms if possible

[spring flax]

hey @maiden fable , do you know if on_guild_update gets triggered when a user stops boosting the server i.e when the premium_subscription_count changes

[vale wing]

All I need is basically where does docker start running

[untold token]

Sure, if you want to do it in dms, docker containers is outside the topic of this channel anyways

[maiden fable]

Yes iirc

[vale wing]

Yeah

[spring flax]

was it tested?

Because I asked before and I am getting mixed responses

[primal cliff]

oh ok and how to make the bot only response to admins/mods

[spring flax]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

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

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

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

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

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

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

[maiden fable]

I don't think anyone has tested it rn... Lemme try finding out more... Gimme some time

[spring flax]

you mean a role or a permission?

[primal cliff]

yes

[spring flax]

like only respond to users with manage messages permissions

that?

[primal cliff]

uh no a role not permission

[spring flax]

then this

[primal cliff]

at the item slot we put the role right?

role or role id

[spring flax]

is the bot only in one server? or is the command you're talking about only being used by one server?

[primal cliff]

only the bot in one server

[spring flax]

if the role name is moderator you can do
@commands.has_role('Moderator')

[primal cliff]

oh ok

[primal cliff]

or can I just insert the role id?

[spring flax]

either the name or the id.
If you are giving the name, put it in a string.
If you are giving the id, put it as int

remember to keep exact spelling/capital letters if you are giving string

[maiden fable]

@spring flax sorry but the API docs don't really help in the matter, but since the Gateway sends the premium subscription count key in the guild object json, it's safe to assume that it's also called when a user boosts/deboosts a guild (:

[green bluff]

unbans r not working

[placid skiff]

user.discriminat is not a user paramater

[green bluff]

so

is it user.discriminate

[spring flax]

don't unban a member like that.

[placid skiff]

is discriminator .-. like for member

[green bluff]

oh ok

also

can i change member.name and member.discriminator to member.split

wait wdym

dont unban like that

[spring flax]

@green bluff That is a very ineffective way to do it. I assume you are watching lucas.

[placid skiff]

wdym with this xD

[spring flax]

!d discord.Object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object

class discord.Object(id)```
Represents a generic Discord object.

The purpose of this class is to allow you to create ‘miniature’ versions of data classes if you want to pass in just an ID. Most functions that take in a specific data class with an ID can also take in this class as a substitute instead. Note that even though this is the case, not all objects (if any) actually inherit from this class.

There are also some cases where some websocket events are received in [strange order](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/21) and when such events happened you would receive this class rather than the actual data class. These cases are extremely rare.

x == y Checks if two objects are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the object’s hash.

[mild zephyr]

hawwo! i was wondering if i can set to a variable, a type like "a list of roles"

[spring flax]

Use this to get the member object with the given ID, and call Guild.unban on the discord object (which is a member)

[spring flax]

what do you mean?

[spring flax]

alternatively you can unban a discord.User

!d discord.User

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User

class discord.User```
Represents a Discord user.

x == y Checks if two users are equal.

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

hash(x) Return the user’s hash.

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

[brazen raft]

roles: list[discord.Role] = whatever if you are on Python 3.9+

Or something like that

Depends on your library

[spring flax]

you can use greedy for that as well, I believe

[brazen raft]

It doesn't do anything other than let your editor know what methods it might use so it can show them to you while coding

[mild zephyr]

    @list_group.sub_command()

            await db.commit()
        await inter.response.send_message(f"{listname} has been added succesfully to {listname}", ephemeral = True)

i have to set "roles" as a but cant get to work it gives me ExtensionFailed("Extension 'exts.rolelist' raised an error: TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'")

[brazen raft]

Yeah but they said they want to type hint a variable

[green bluff]

something like this?

[placid skiff]

this is type hinting

[green bluff]

or i dont understand

[brazen raft]

Yes

[mild zephyr]

im redoing the inside of the command from normal to slash

[green bluff]

oh yea user is a variable

no i mean member

do i just do guild.unban(member)

[placid skiff]

both member and user in your code are variables D_D

[green bluff]

o ya

[spring flax]

async def add(self, inter: disnake.CommandInteraction, listname:str, roles: Greedy[discord.Role]):

what is listname supposed to be for?

[mild zephyr]

the name of the list you wanna ad the role to u.u

for dropdowns

[spring flax]

okay so it's just one word?

[mild zephyr]

yas

[spring flax]

okay, then try this

!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`...

[mild zephyr]

doesnt recognize "greedy"

it's the same thing

you need to import it

either you can import it, which you can use arg : Greedy[whatever] or you can do arg : commands.Greedy[whatever] without specifically importing greedy from commands

What problem do you have?

[tender estuary]

Does not give money to the other guy.

And stupid replit won't tell me where the error is.

[spring flax]

do you have an error handler?

[tender estuary]

yes

[mild zephyr]

keeps getting errors

[spring flax]

which is?

[mild zephyr]

ExtensionFailed("Extension 'exts.rolelist' raised an error: TypeError: unhashable type: 'Greedy'")

[spring flax]

code please

[mild zephyr]

async def add(self, inter: disnake.CommandInteraction, listname:str, roles: Greedy[discord.Role]):

[maiden fable]

Why u tryna write the Greedy class to a text file

[spring flax]

the full command

[spring flax]

wait what

[maiden fable]

That error comes when an object is being written into a text file or smth but Python fails iirc

[spring flax]

yeah, a database too

[mild zephyr]

async def add(self, inter: disnake.CommandInteraction, listname:str, roles: Greedy[discord.Role]):
    print(roles)
    pass

[spring flax]

yeah...that won't work. one second

that converts the roles into a list of role objects

what do you want to do with them?

[mild zephyr]

i need to force the type so im able to input only roles

like i did with a single channel, and or ints/strings

but i cant with multiple at time

[spring flax]

but that's what it is though

what do you want to do with the list of roles?

get their id's?

[mild zephyr]

i can get this

but not list of roles

here i'm forcing the input only as specific thing with autocomplete

[spring flax]

ah slash commands

i've never used those before, so i wouldn't know

[slate swan]

Command raised an exception: ValueError: <ClientUser id=930706891699519528 name='giveawaybot' discriminator='4748' bot=True verified=True mfa_enabled=True> is not in list
what does this mean?

[vale wing]

@mild zephyr discord API doesn't support mutliple values for one argument afaik

[placid skiff]

what package are you using?

[vale wing]

Unless you create custom converter

[mild zephyr]

disnake

[mild zephyr]

i'll go for strings x3

[placid skiff]

disnake actually let you use typehints for slash commands

it does

yes x3

where do people learn how to code bots?

youtube, docs and trying (?)

k

[placid skiff]

maybe you could find more help in disnake server

[placid skiff]

Guys my PyCharm doesn't recognize intellisense for disnake, why? i allways used it and it allways worked fine

how do I give default permission to user for accessing a private channel after creating a new channel?

[keen talon]

Sup Bois

[proper acorn]

help me please

[jade tartan]

When making a discord dashboard does any one know how do i make the url direct me to the discord login?

[jade tartan]

Join replit they will help

[keen talon]

!code pls share in a code block man not screenshots

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[jade tartan]

Its replit not this server

[proper acorn]

#replit

[vale wing]

API doesn't. Look at these types, pretty sure the library (disnake) doesn't as well. Have you tried it by yourself? I actually asked here about that before and helper told me that it is impossible to implement list of arguments in slash command context. There's just no type for that and you can check it by yourself
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-type

[spring flax]

ah. You didn't mention slash commands, so I thought you're talking about normal bot commands

[slate swan]

After creating a private channel how do I give access to specific users?

[tender estuary]

How are you able to get the error in the console can you tell me.

[quick gust]

it's not server, i think it's guild

[tender estuary]

I want a command that sends a message to a random channel in all the servers my bot is in.

can anyone help me with that.

The message is supposed to be a argument.

It can be inbuilt, but argument is preferred.

[quick gust]

loop through the bot's guilds, use random.choice to get a random channel from the list of the channels of the guild, then send the message to the channel

[prime marten]

I made a leaderboard command with sqlite3 and am struggling to make it display the leaderboards per server/guild. Atm it shows a global leaderboard. Does anyone have any knowledge on this?

[tender estuary]

Thanks.

[tender estuary]

I did the same today... messed up the whole effing bot.

[prime marten]

damn :/

[placid skiff]

Can I send in slash command interaction an embed with an ephemeral message?

[quick gust]

Yeah

[placid skiff]

And fields index in embeds starts from 0 right?

[quick gust]

Not too sure

[heavy folio]

mhm

[small igloo]

ok, this is happen again, how to fix it

Can someone help me with embeds? My bot isn't sending a embed.

My code is kinda crappy, but here it is nonetheless

            await ctx.reply(embed=embed2)

The last statement is the one which isn't executing btw*

[slate swan]

the embed sending part?

[dreamy sluice]

Yep

That's not working for some reason.

[slate swan]

any errors?

[dreamy sluice]

It doesn't return any

[slate swan]

the json files may be empty..

[dreamy sluice]

It's not empty

[vale wing]

If it'd be empty there would be key errors most likely

[dreamy sluice]

Do you think you know why the embed may not be showing up?

[slate swan]

it would have not done those steps already py for i in read1:

if read1 is empty it wont process

[dreamy sluice]

I checked everything (with loads of print statements), and only the embed line isn't executing

[vale wing]

Oh yeah

[dreamy sluice]

The last one, I mean

[vale wing]

@dreamy sluice try printing embed2.to_dict()

[dreamy sluice]

Mkay

[vale wing]

Also do you get any errors

[dreamy sluice]

Nope

it returned the contents of the embed

{'fields': [{'inline': True, 'name': '_Cannot be bought._', 'value': ''}, {'inline': True, 'name': 'Sell- 20 ![floofbred](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/928880102014590996.webp?size=128 "floofbred")', 'value': ''}], 'color': 2069990, 'type': 'rich', 'description': 'A smol, insolent bug.

[vale wing]

Hm right

You printed it right before the reply?

[dreamy sluice]

Ye

[vale wing]

Do you have error handlers

[dreamy sluice]

Nope

[vale wing]

Try to send something other than embed

[slate swan]

the value is empty

its a 0 length string

[dreamy sluice]

That doesn't work?

[vale wing]

@slate swan description is not empty

[dreamy sluice]

He meant my field values

[vale wing]

Ik but it is not why it doesn't work

[dreamy sluice]

O-o

[vale wing]

@dreamy sluice have you tried

[slate swan]

lemme send an example

[dreamy sluice]

One second

[vale wing]

I know what that is

I don't understand why do you send that, do you think it is not sending because of this?

[dreamy sluice]

Yep, it sends the message

It just doesn't send the embed

[vale wing]

Anyways if it was because of embed it would most likely raise bad request

[slate swan]

it raises an exception for the embed ```
disnake.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embeds.0.fields.0.value: This field is required

[vale wing]

Yeah but he gets no exceptions

[slate swan]

maybe they have an error handler

[dreamy sluice]

I don't

[slate swan]

no on_command_error event?

[vale wing]

@dreamy sluice anyways try to do what they suggested

[dreamy sluice]

Oh, I do

[vale wing]

Ah

[slate swan]

thats what an error handler is:p

[dreamy sluice]

ok I am dum

:(

[vale wing]

You should raise all unknown exceptions in it or print them

[slate swan]

add else : raise error in the end , it helps u to get untraced errors

[dreamy sluice]

mkay

[slate swan]

considering error to be the variable for your exception

[dreamy sluice]

okeh

lemme try

OK, it returned the error you mentioned @slate swan

[slate swan]

set an value for the field

if you dont want to set one , use \u200b there

[dreamy sluice]

:o

Thanks a lot

It works

[oak warren]

hey i am making a trivia anti cheat kinda thing but i am getting stuck

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction):
        self.click.append(interaction.author)
        print(self.click.count(interaction.user))
        if interaction.author in self.users or self.click.count(interaction.author) != 1:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Your response has already been submitted", ephemeral=True)
        if interaction.author not in self.users and interaction.component.label == self.answer and self.click.count(
                interaction.author) in [0, 1]:
            self.users.append(interaction.author)
        return await interaction.response.send_message("Your response has been submitted", ephemeral=True)
``` i am getting `disnake.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before` but before i didnt get them

[slate swan]

You respond twice if one of your if checks is successful.

You also need to return when sending the message in your if checks.

[oak warren]

i do return

the last line

[oak warren]

yes ik but i didnt get that before

[slate swan]

That's correct, but if you go in the first if statement, you also respond.

And therefore respond twice instead of once.

The last one will always be sent, and if you enter in the first if statement, it will also send a response.

[oak warren]

not really that is only when they click the 2nd time before that didnt happen ( i am clicking 2 differnt buttons )

[jovial plover]

Has anyone worked with this: https://github.com/SilentJungle399/discord_buttons_plugin

How do you fetch message ID of the buttons.send() method

[spring flax]

if i have a cog folder open, and in a cog named cog_one.py, I make some functions and in the cog cog_two.py, how do I import the functions i just made in the other file?

[slim ibex]

are they both in the same folder

[placid skiff]

Guys in embeds fields index starts from 0 or 1?

[visual island]

0

[slim ibex]

all indexs start from 0

[vale wing]

Functions and not commands?

It is better to put non command functions to a separated module and import them from there

If you still want to import them from extension I think it's still possible to import functions you need from one file by using import statement

[vale wing]

Also could you show files hierarchy

[jovial plover]

Whats the official import module for discord buttons

[vale wing]

Dpy 2.0 supports it but it is no longer maintained

[slim ibex]

use nextcord

[vale wing]

You could use fork, I don't really think you need official library

[slim ibex]

!pypi nextcord

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord v2.0.0a6

A Python wrapper for the Discord API forked from discord.py

[slim ibex]

ooo a6

[vale wing]

Nextcord, pycord, disnake - any of them

[hoary cargo]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slim ibex]

!pypi pincer

[unkempt canyon]

pincer v0.15.3

Discord API wrapper rebuild from scratch.

[spring flax]

Functions yeah

[vale wing]

@spring flax show please there are some nuances regarding imports

[vale wing]

And from what cog to which do you want them to import to

[spring flax]

From the functions cog to the utility cog

[vale wing]

from cogs.functions import ...```

[spring flax]

Isn't there any way to auto import them?

[vale wing]

Like?

With *?

[spring flax]

I remember visual studio code doing that before, if i make a function x in a cog, in another cog i write x it gets automatically imported

[vale wing]

If you press enter once it suggest auto-import and then look upperside you will see what I mean

It just adds an import statement

[spring flax]

Do settings need to be enabled?

[vale wing]

I dunno, it shows up for me tho I didn't edit any settings like that

[slim ibex]

can’t you do from . import functions

or .functions import …

[spring flax]

I can but it gets tedious at some points

[spring flax]

Any extension?

[vale wing]

That's relative import

[sick wedge]

dc.py can make a axie tracker? like can track the total slp of a user etc..?

[slim ibex]

ik and we know what happens there

[vale wing]

I am not sure how it'd work but in absolute one it searches packages in relation to the main file. Basically . is the current folder so if we start it from main.py it could actually refer to a root folder. I don't know that much about relative imports need to check by myself

[vale wing]

I have python extension only lol

Not counting the AI assistant it doesn't suggest autoimport

[slate swan]

is it possible to change sleep from seconds to days?

so I can create a temp channel and set the amount of days before its deleted

``` how am i supposed to get what emoji was used ▒ wtf is this? should be \⚫

[slate swan]

whats the emoji name on discord?

⚫

[honest vessel]

black_circle

but i use the \⚫

its same

[slate swan]

try typing it out like :black_circle:

[honest vessel]

it should be like emoji=<PartialEmoji animated=False name='\⚫'

[vagrant brook]

it's just font problem

don't worry lmao

[honest vessel]

well i cant grab it i want to check if the emoji used is in a list

or a dict to be more specific

[honest vessel]

that not the way to post emojis as reactions

@vagrant brookthanks ur were correct

[scenic viper]

Hello, everyone!

I would like some advice, please, on which Python package to use to build my bots, and how to structure them.

I work for a B2B startup in the HR area; we make chatbots tailored to our clients' requirements, and these bots communicate with these companies' employees over platforms such as Slack. I've been tasked with adding Discord as a platform.

Our existing logic will handle what messages to send, to whom and when, as well as process the answers we receive. We need to be able to send and receive direct messages (1-on-1), as well as listen to messages where the bot is mentioned in multi-user contexts. Our messages may contain text, images, files for the user to download and buttons. I am currently confused about Discord because the way we usually receive info from our platforms is via webhooks we expose, but so far at least I haven't seen those in Discord.

That can be because I had started building the platform handler with the discord.py package, only to find out it has been discontinued. If there is an explicit webhook URL, it got abstracted away by discord.py. In any case, I see that it has fork successors (pycord, nextcord, enhanced-discord.py), as well as unrelated alternatives (hikari). The latter offers "command frameworks" - I am still not sure what that means - like lightbulb and tanjun. So, my question is: which package should I use? What are pros and cons of each option? If I choose hikari, do I need the command frameworks, or is using just hikari enough?

Thank you so much for your attention!

[slate swan]

Disnake and nextcord are good Discord.py forks with all old features of discord.py

As for the hikari library , using raw hikari is like using discord.Client , so you would have to use events to make your commands and stuff work
With the use of a command handler like lightbulb you can do that with no efforts using command functions as in discord.py , I'm not sure about tanjun but I've used hikari-lightbulb and it's somehow similar to discord.py's commands.Bot framework

If we talk about a fork vs hikari
Forks are derived from discord.py so for sure it would be more comfortable for you to use them
As for hikari it provides many things like complete acess the cache , better code style etc

 
  
 ​@​botmisc​.​command 
 ​@​lightbulb.add_cooldown​(​10​, ​2​, ​bucket​=​UserBucket​) 
 ​@​lightbulb.command​(​name​=​"ping"​, ​description​=​"Sends bot's latency"​, ​aliases​=​[​"latency"​]) 
 ​@​lightbulb.implements​(​PrefixCommand​, ​SlashCommand​) 
 ​async​ ​def​ ​ping​(​ctx​: ​lightbulb.Context​): 
 ​    ​"""Bot's Latency""" 
 ​    ​await​ ​ctx​.​respond​(​f"🏓 Pong `​{​round​(​ctx​.​bot​.​heartbeat_latency​ ​*​1000​ , ​2​)​}​` ms !"​)
``` a sample code for lightbulb library

[scenic viper]

Thank you! I have actually no familiarity with discord.py, I had basically installed it, run the example code and then as soon as I tried integrating it with our existing code I needed to check code examples on their github and found out it is no longer maintained. So, if I have no preference for a discord.py fork, would you say hikari is a better option? I like that you mention better code style

[quaint epoch]

I finally got to use my mod bot

[quaint epoch]

I prefer disnake as a fork, but hikari is good too! It's just your preference.

[bitter perch]

any namespace rename isn't good lol

[slate swan]

Disnake never does that.

unless u install it as discord

[bitter perch]

Yes it does

I see a namespace rename on this GitHub

[slate swan]

Hikari is a great library to try , I have a open source hikari Library bot in case you want reference

Well Disnake does not do that.. ```bash
$pip install disnake[discord]

[quaint epoch]

maybe emoji id?

or the bytes version of it

[slate swan]

\⚫

um

[scenic viper]

I am at the very beginning, I have no code that assumes I depend on discord.py, so changing the name of the import wouldn't matter to me. But yes, I will check out disnake as well.

Thank you very much, everyone!

[scenic viper]

I also have another question. For some platforms we use "proxied" bots. What that means is that, while we have many different bots in our own server, each corresponding to a different customer, they all share one bot from the point of view of the platform; we only really need one webhook and then we distribute the messages it receives to the appropriate bot on our side. Would this approach be advisable for Discord? Or should we stick to our default of one bot in our servers corresponding to one bot from the point of view of the platform? The default seems to have the advantage of being way less likely to bump into rate limits.

[maiden fable]

Well using webhooks would be a better option since this would also prevent bumping into ratelimits. All the big bots like Dyno use webhooks too, to send logging messages

[honest vessel]

is there a way to limit reactions to 1 in same message or timeout on reactions ?

[scenic viper]

Oh, and could I please take a look at that open source bot you mentioned?

[maiden fable]

U can't limit them. Manually removing them would just ratelimit u

[slate swan]

It's very basic and I made it like 2 days ago so I hope it won't be too complex https://github.com/sarthak-py/Winky

[maiden fable]

Damn seems like hikari is getting more popular

[scenic viper]

Nice, thank you! So, one webhook URL per bot, then? How do I tell Discord the URL we're exposing for that webhook?

[slate swan]

if you get into discord.py or lucas's server it is preferred over forks

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Webhook.from_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.from\_url

classmethod from_url(url, *, session, bot_token=None)```
Creates a partial [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Webhook "discord.Webhook") from a webhook URL.

[slate swan]

And hushhh , lucas with a hikari series now

[maiden fable]

Well, discord.py server doesn't really suggest a single fork since it can become controversial at some point, so it's understandable

Well, lucas just needs a new topic to make bad videos on, sooo, understandable

[slate swan]

Imagine ban command in hikari

[maiden fable]

Lmaooo

[slate swan]

Wait lemme copy paste it , someone sent it recently

[maiden fable]

Not there 🥲

[grim oar]

Hikari kinda gud

[tough lance]

I've expired form making discord bots

[maiden fable]

Same

I have stopped deving discord bots

[tough lance]

I've only used disnake since the discord.py shut down so I won't give any opinions on this

[scenic viper]

Well, I'm just getting started! I've looked at hikari's doc page and seen it is in alpha and its API is unstable, so I'm gonna use some discord.py fork. Any comparisons between the available options? If I go by github stars, pycord wins, but it seems y'all prefer disnake?

[maiden fable]

Yea, disnake is a bit more stable, with faster feature releases and better updates

[quaint epoch]

I got half the usual ping in disnake from discord.py

[maiden fable]

Can't happen

[quaint epoch]

discord.py ping = 100ms, disnake ping = 50ms

[quaint epoch]

well it did

15 times

[maiden fable]

Ping depends on your network connection, not the library

[quaint epoch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[maiden fable]

Even @slate swan can confirm that

[quaint epoch]

well, both pycord and disnake got half of the usual ping, so idk

but i prefer disnake

because reasons

disnake > discord.py ^ pycord

[tawdry perch]

Is it bad?

[slate swan]

simply depends on current websocket connection

[maiden fable]

doesn't that simply mean the net/WiFi

[maiden fable]

Haha cool!

[slate swan]

and the code implications for that is same , atleast for all the forks

[slate swan]

yeah that's basically it

[maiden fable]

Thanks

[rare saddle]

Someone can explain why these intentions are needed and how to correctly request from Discord access for a verified bot

[quaint epoch]

so you can see all the members

[maiden fable]

When u fill the form for verification of the bot, u need to fill in the intents u need, with a valid use case

[quaint epoch]

i just set my intents to all

too lazy to specify

(intents in code)

[maiden fable]

I'm talking about verified bots lol

[rare saddle]

The fact is that the bot has already been verified, but I did not ask for permission.

[quaint epoch]

oh alr

[maiden fable]

Then there's a different form to request for those intents

[rare saddle]

I requested but was refused, can you tell me how to correctly request? And what should I say?

[maiden fable]

Mind showing me the mail u received?

[rare saddle]

yea

[maiden fable]

That means u can use fetch_member without using the intent

!d discord.Guild.fetch_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_member

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

Retrieves a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") from a guild ID, and a member ID.

Note

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

[rare saddle]

But the bot cannot be added to more than 100 servers, and I suppose that because of this

and

[maiden fable]

Huh?

Mind giving me your Bot name/invite link in DMs?

Wait no...

[rare saddle]

Ticku, he offline

[maiden fable]

It's verified... It should be able to be added to more than a 100 guilds

[rare saddle]

Because of Toko that I turned off these parameters

Can I somehow enable this without asking for permissions from Discrd? Verified bot

[tender estuary]

is it a good idea to leave discord.py because it got shutdown or ?

[quaint epoch]

i mean, there are better forks you can use

like hikari, disnake, pycord and more

but it's your choice lol

[tender estuary]

Which one's the best in your opinion

[polar ice]

            overwrites = {
                ctx.guild.id.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True, send_messages=False)
            }

            category = await ctx.guild.id.create_category("SERVER", overwrites=overwrites, reason=None)
            admin_logs = await ctx.guild.id.create_text_channel("adminlogs", overwrites=overwrites, category=category, reason=None)
            kill_feed = await ctx.guild.id.create_text_channel("killfeed", overwrites=overwrites, category=category, reason=None)

Hello im trying to create 2 channels, im trying to set the two channels to read only
default role doesnt seem to be working though any idea how to fix it?

[slate swan]

No. The message above clearly says you need to apply to be able to enable them.

[rare saddle]

thanks

[spring flax]

why ctx.guild.id?

[polar ice]

@spring flaxTo get the default role in the guild?

[spring flax]

why id though?

[polar ice]

@spring flax 😮

[spring flax]

it's discord.Guild.defaul_role.
You need a guild object.

[polar ice]

Silly me, thanks 😄

[spring flax]

By using guild.id, you are not working with a guild object

[polar ice]

Monged it, spent too long infront of this computer 😄

[spring flax]

haha lol it happens

[visual drift]

try to debug this program (for example on the first line type print(user))

[slate swan]

oh okay

i think i just dont have the table lmao

[visual drift]

It depends on calling the function maybe you made balance() without passing the member parameter

I'm not professional I'm trying to help😅

how can I get the current message time
when I send a message a date near to my name is appears, How can I get it??

why aren't both running together?

my bot and Quart?

[honest vessel]

so I making a color(role giver) atm i use command, but thinking of use reactions as interaction for it, but how can i prevent abuse? like if few peoples spam on n off reaction i am pretty sure u can get API-blocked duo bot gonna give n remove role each click

@slate swan ur smart any inputs? ^

[slate swan]

@slate swan can you help me too?

@arctic python can you help?

sorry fot the pings

[honest vessel]

no need to ping all dood 😄

[slate swan]

ikik

[honest vessel]

@slate swan app.run() is never being runned.

[slate swan]

here

[honest vessel]

cause its in namespace __main__

[slate swan]

what should i change?

[honest vessel]

prob just remove if __name__ == "__main__":

[maiden fable]

That just checks if it's not being imported into another file

[slate swan]

Ipc server is ready.
Bot is ready.

didn't happen

[maiden fable]

What's the issue?

[honest vessel]

I dont know, its not a cog either

[slate swan]

how to make both quart and my bot run

to get my bot guild count

[maiden fable]

U need to manually press F5 on both the files and run them

Your IDE won't support it most probably, so use the CMD and type in python file.py exchanging file with the name of the python file

[slate swan]

k

[honest vessel]

@maiden fableany idea of my Q?

[maiden fable]

What's the q

[honest vessel]

this

[slate swan]

i used slit terminal

[honest vessel]

a way to make timeout for reactions per user or so?

[slate swan]

will that work?

[plain shadow]

asyncio.timeout?

idk

[honest vessel]

was thinking of something builtin

[tawdry perch]

So you want to block user from reacting for x duration?

[maiden fable]

There's nothing in built for that... Instead u can use bot.wait_for

[honest vessel]

yeah so they cant just spam the emoji and abuse API both themself and bot that gives them roles/removes

[tawdry perch]

Temporary role that don't allow reacting?

[maiden fable]

!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]

its not working

what should i do?

[honest vessel]

hm so basicly i can use that example ```py
try:
reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:

i will play around with it and see, thanks @maiden fable

[plain shadow]

does it throw any error?

[honest vessel]

nothing happens here tho 😦

[slate swan]

now its working

thank you

@maiden fable

thank you for asking @plain shadow

[honest vessel]

@maiden fablethat timeout seems to be for how long bot is going to wait_for not a timeout for ignore using it

oh i make it simple and stay to commands to prevent API abuse

[plain shadow]

nope!

[humble granite]

this is so dumb. My cog can't use a class from another file.
Can anyone help me

[boreal ravine]

Inport the class from the other file

[slate swan]

they can lmao

[rare saddle]

Why do we need - GUILD PRESENCES INTENT??

[slate swan]

@visual drift check this out https://pastebin.com/rJFE9yxq

[boreal ravine]

To access things related to presences

[rare saddle]

thanks

👍

[placid skiff]

So i have a custom checks and is the custom error that the check raises when it fails:

class WRError(CommandError):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(message="This user cannot use this command because he doesn't satisfy the necessary "
                                 "requirements")

Now, the problem is that this error doesn't trigger the on_command_error event

how to fix it?

def checkWR_Found():
    def predicate(ctx: ApplicationCommandInteraction):
        exists = db.field("SELECT DiscordID FROM WildRiftUser WHERE DiscordID IS ?", ctx.author.id)
        if exists is not None:
            return True
        raise WRError
    return check(predicate)

This is the check

[stable berry]

helo

i have added a cmd in my bot to show the date and time that when the user joined the server using member.joined_at

but how to show the date and time of when they joined discord

[cloud dawn]

New connector on each call?

[slate swan]

i'll make it a bot attribute

[cloud dawn]

Still have that issue?

[slate swan]

another one

#help-corn

hey is it possible to reply through on_message?

[crisp shoal]

guys what are the ideal domain names for discord bots

[spring flax]

sure

reply in the message channel?

[slate swan]

dwdw

ill found a way

[spring flax]

also what message are you replying to?

[slate swan]

when u do on_message pretty sure u cant use ctx? if im wrong misunderstanding

any message that gets sent to me

yeah it doesnt get a Context object but a Message object, if you want to reply then just await Message.reply(...)

!d discord.Message.reply

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reply

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

A shortcut method to [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") to reply to the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message").

New in version 1.6.

I need help, what's wrong here?```py
def get_prefix(client, msg):

guild = msg.guild.id

list = os.listdir("./data/servers")

if guild in list[:-5]:
    
    with open(f"./data/servers/{guild}.json") as f:
        prefixes = json.load(f)
    return prefixes[str("prefix")], "$"

else:
    return "$"

`./data/servers/serverID.json` ```json
{
  "prefix": "!"
}

i don't know sorry

[dire folio]

Is there an error?

[slate swan]

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

[slate swan]

nope nothing

but it isnt working too

[dire folio]

Is it meant to be a command?

[slate swan]

ty

[kind wind]

I want to make a command that sends a different message based on the user's id but it said the else function. I tried making a test command with the id function to get the id and see why it isn't working. This is what I got from response: <built-in function id>
How do I fix this?

[dire folio]

Can u send code

[kind wind]

@bot.command() #The main command I wanted to make
async def data(ctx):
  if id == "608575327811272704":
    await ctx.reply("Hi VDP")
  else:
    await ctx.reply("Unknown ID!")

@bot.command() #The test command I made to see the response of *id*
async def test(ctx):
  await ctx.reply(id)

[dire folio]

Do if ctx.author.id

[kind wind]

I asked in stackoverflow.com

[slate swan]

What is id. Seems like a function according to the error you got.

[kind wind]

The guy told me about user.id but it didn't work so I searched it on the pydocs and found the id just by itself

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def verificationbutton(ctx):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    member_role_name = "verified" # role name
    user = ctx.author
    myembed = discord.Embed(title="VERIFICATION", description="Please click the button bellow to proceed with the verification process!")
    await ctx.send(embed=myembed, components = [
        [Button(label="VERIFY ME", style="3", emoji = "✅", custom_id="button1")]
        ])
    # button1 reaction
    interaction = await bot.wait_for("button_click", check = lambda i: i.custom_id == "button1")
    await interaction.send(content = "You have been verified!", ephemeral=True)
    await user.add_roles(discord.utils.get(user.guild.roles, name=f"{member_role_name}")) # give verification role

this only allows me to click to button once, even if i remove the verified role from myself after 1 click it says "interaction failed"

And as you got told above, to get the ID of the user who executed the command it's ctx.author.id

So something like that would be more correct

if ctx.author.id == 608575327811272704:

[kind wind]

wouldnt it be with ""?

oh yeah its an int not a str

[slate swan]

No, IDs are integers not strings.

[dire folio]

^

[slate swan]

anyone know the cause?

[jade tartan]

When making a discord dashboard does any one know how do i make the url direct me to the discord login?

[polar ice]

Is there a way to get the admin role of a guild if i do Guild.get_role('ADMINISTRATOR)

but theyve changed the role name from administrator to something else will it cause issues?

is it possible to get the role from the guild owner or something?

[kind wind]

for dm the response u use
dm_message.on_message()?

But there is-

There surely is

there is on the discordpy page

[vale wing]

This is an intent

!d discord.User.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.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**.

[kind wind]

okay but this where?

[vale wing]

Here

[kind wind]

after the await gives error

[kind wind]

yeah but the d part?

dm*

[vale wing]

You don't seem to define id here

[kind wind]

Yeah I fixed that

with ctx.author.id

[vale wing]

Could you send your current version of code?

[kind wind]

here

[cloud dawn]

disnake.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'exts.info.general-info' raised an error: SyntaxError: f-string expression part cannot include a backslash (general-info.py, line 53) ;-;

[kind wind]

the problem fixed

[vale wing]

Ok so you don't have any issues anymore?

[kind wind]

With that no. But I want to dm the user a file

I just used that for test

[vale wing]

Yeah it can't

[kind wind]

so I can remove a part of the code and get working on the other

[vale wing]

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=False)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[vale wing]

Provide instance of this to file param of the send

[kind wind]

I have typed this:

@bot.command()
async def data(ctx):
  if ctx.author.id == 608575327811272704:
    with open("") as file:
      await ctx.reply("Your data.")
  else:
    await ctx.reply("You have not been signed up!")

[dire folio]

for a command that only the bot owner can use is it?

@commands.is_owner()

[kind wind]

I havent done with the open()

[vale wing]

Yeah

@kind wind file is sent like this as far as I remember, haven't used file sending for a while

with open('cool_image.png', 'rb') as f:
    await ctx.send(file=discord.File(f))```

[kind wind]

Does it have to be in the current folder?

[vale wing]

In the folder you are running the main file from yes

[kind wind]

Oh no...

Can't I like

Use the entire thing

Like from C:\Users\etc.

[vale wing]

You can

That's an absolute path, will work as well

Tho usually all of the project files are put into project's directory

[kind wind]

So I need to get the txt files out of the usb

Does it need "" or not?

[vale wing]

Wdym does it need quotes

[kind wind]

Like the path

Does it need quotes between them?

[vale wing]

All string objects are put in quotes, path is a string

So obviously it does

[kind wind]

Like:
"C:\Users\"

okay

error

[dire folio]

say i have the current time stamp how would i add like 10 minutes to that

so if i did the relative dynamic time it would say in 10 minutes

!e

import time

print(time.time())

[unkempt canyon]

@dire folio :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

1642019121.3838863

[dire folio]

nvm got it

i doubt that is a thing

[kind wind]

this didnt work

[vale wing]

Show your code

[vale wing]

You clearly didn't look at my example

[vale wing]

^

[kind wind]

Oh-

I said ""

Not ' '

[vale wing]

You forgot open mode and file param

[kind wind]

No

[vale wing]

Those are actually the same thing

[kind wind]

I put " instead of '

[vale wing]

!e

print("string" == 'string')```

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[kind wind]

Yeah but whats the problem

[vale wing]

This is the problem

[kind wind]

Can you explain it to me please?

[vale wing]

I think this example explains it

[kind wind]

oh

[vale wing]

Open mode is 'rb' which means "read in binary mode"

[kind wind]

i understand

[vale wing]

File param is file=discord.File(f)

[kind wind]

'r' is read
what is the difference with 'rb'?

[vale wing]

Binary mode

discord.File requires binary

[kind wind]

I mean whats the difference on the output

ok

as f: or as file:

[vale wing]

Up to you, you create a variable here

[kind wind]

if i do as f: then i dont have to make variable?

[vale wing]

f will be your variable?

Could I ask when did you start learning python

[kind wind]

I dont know much of discord.py

[vale wing]

The question is how much do you know of python overall

[kind wind]

Not very very much

I recently bought a guide for python

[vale wing]

Like do you know OOP (classes, defs, etc.)?

[kind wind]

Not much
