discord-bots

[vale wing]

Then I suggest you to complete that guide first, discord bot is an advanced asynchronous application which requires decent knowledge

[kind wind]

Yeah I dont have much time with schools and everything but i try to find time to read it

[vale wing]

You should read it, you will understand python much better 👍

And once you get enough experience and knowledge you will build your discord bot on python :)

Good luck

[kind wind]

Ill try now where will i put the variable? on line below the as file: , before or inside that line

[vale wing]

You know about files reading?

[kind wind]

no

so you want me to do it by myself?

[vale wing]

I mean I can explain that lol

[kind wind]

i have to go... ill be here tmr and ask again

[vital niche]

Hello good day, I just finished learning the basic of python and I want to create my first goal which is discord bot. Is there any tips you can give me?

[cloud dawn]

Any way to format Discord's datetime into embeds?

The <t:1642020999:R>

[vale wing]

Uh wdym? Putting it into embed's description/field or something else?

[cloud dawn]

Footer yes

Like
Posted: <t:1642020999:R>

[vale wing]

As far as I know footer doesn't support discord markup

[cloud dawn]

Tried it in other fields aswell it just nopes

Why can't we have nice things ;-;

[vale wing]

In other fields it should be fine?

If it is a value a field and not a title

[cloud dawn]

Yeah but then it looks ugly lol

[vale wing]

Titles don't support markup as well

[final iron]

You can use a timestamp but sadly it wont be like that

[cloud dawn]

Wait idea

[cloud dawn]

Yeah..

[final iron]

Atleast the timestamp auto updates

[vale wing]

You could make your own function that would return the string you need

But it won't autoupdate tho

[cloud dawn]

Already did ```py
def time_now_format() -> str:
return f"<t:{round(datetime.now().timestamp())}:R>"

[vale wing]

It returns the timestamp markdown

I mean return something like just 5 minutes ago (but as said it won't autoupdate sadly)

[cloud dawn]

yeah but i think it's kinda pointless to put in the date since it is already on top.

[final iron]

If you do ctx.message.created_at in the timestamp it will auto update

[cloud dawn]

inter.message isn't a thing

[final iron]

Ah

[vale wing]

Interaction has something like that as well afaik

[cloud dawn]

I search trough the docs for awhile...

[vale wing]

Nvm it's something different

[cloud dawn]

feature request yeet

[vale wing]

<t:0>

😳

[cloud dawn]

<t:12222222222222222:R>

Lol

[vale wing]

On pc it's invalid date and here on phone it is 20 Sep 5838270

[weary mirage]

I'm getting this error :
Command raised an exception: InterfaceError: Error binding parameter 1 - probably unsupported type.
after running this :
cur.execute("INSERT INTO orders(customer, customerid) VALUES (?, ?)", (str(user), (str(cust),)))

[cloud dawn]

Does this look weird?

[weary mirage]

what might be the issue?

[vale wing]

\u thing yes

[cloud dawn]

No the ** ** one xd

I can't remember the \u thingy

This is easier to remember

[vale wing]

What database

[weary mirage]

sqlite3

[vale wing]

Well I don't typically use params thingie, not sure how it works

[jade tartan]

Can someone please help me make a discord dashboard please?

i need help

[vale wing]

Site?

[weary mirage]

when I run this (missing the other value being inserted) :

cur.execute("INSERT INTO orders(customer) VALUES (?, ?)", (str(user)))

it works, but not when I try inserting another value in there :(

[onyx elbow]

i currently made a very simple discord bot for the first time but i want to add more to it does anyone have any good ideas i could add to it

[vale wing]

What's the type of customerid? @weary mirage

[weary mirage]

erh how can I tell?

cur.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS orders (customer, customerid, deliverystat, orderstat)''')

[vale wing]

Didn't you create this database?

[cloud dawn]

INSERT INTO orders (customer, customerid) VALUES (?, ?)
``` idk if that space matters

[weary mirage]

this is all I put when creating the table

[vale wing]

You usually specify column type

[weary mirage]

oh

is that what might be the issue?

[vale wing]

Probably

[cloud dawn]

What about a user info command inside an embed? :D

[jade tartan]

Well no error but ```
from quart import Quart, request
from discord.ext.dashboard import Server

app = Quart(name)
app_dashboard = Server(
app,
"secret_key",
webhook_url="",
sleep_time=1
)

@app.route("/")
async def index():
guild_count = await app_dashboard.request("guild_count")
member_count = await app_dashboard.request("member_count", guild_id=776230580941619251)

return 

@app.route("/dashboard", methods=["POST"])
async def dashboard():

await app_dashboard.process_request(request)

if name == "main":
app.run(debug=True)

Am trying to make this direct me to the discord login page
How do i do that?

[cloud dawn]

This is more work than a whole Discord bot.

[weary mirage]

okay I think I might know the problem

[cloud dawn]

quartttt niiiice there is a Discord extension to make your life a lot easier though xD

[jade tartan]

the discord-ext-dashboard?

[cloud dawn]

quart extension

[vale wing]

That exists? Wow

[cloud dawn]

You gotta make IPC though you can't just import random stuff from the bot.

[jade tartan]

ohh ok which is quart-ext-dashboard?

[cloud dawn]

!pypi Quart-Discord

[unkempt canyon]

Quart-Discord v2.1.4

Discord OAuth2 extension for Quart.

[vale wing]

O

[jade tartan]

that prob will make my life easier

[weary mirage]

I figured out the issue, I was setting the value as a string, and I guess that wasn't good 🤷‍♂️

[cloud dawn]

This is only for oauth though but it's nice since you don't need to bother with that again.

[jade tartan]

Ok sweet

[cloud dawn]

!pypi discord-ext-ipc

[unkempt canyon]

discord-ext-ipc v2.1.1

A discord.py extension for inter-process communication.

[cloud dawn]

Combine with this and you got a baby

The website AND Discord bot have to both be hosted on the same host. Else you have to make your own API.

[jade tartan]

Wdym the same host?

[cloud dawn]

On the same system

[jade tartan]

ohh ok well theres only showing me pip install nothing else on those 2 ext that you just mentioned?

[cloud dawn]

wdym?

Oh yeah the docs suck

[jade tartan]

yeah

so i dont know how am i gonna make it

could just look at yt vids

[cloud dawn]

I do have an example i think somewhere in my back pocket..

[vale wing]

Interesting extensions

[cloud dawn]

https://github.com/azenyx/Semi-Advanced-Discord-Bot/tree/0598fdb320bb0c793004dddab4839efe72b56b78

Friend of mine made a good easy example.

This is the IPC aka internal API code
https://github.com/azenyx/Semi-Advanced-Discord-Bot/blob/0598fdb320bb0c793004dddab4839efe72b56b78/Bot/utils/ipc_routes.py

Though ALL the code is not getting updated so with this you can get the hang of it but i do recommend making your own IPC or API.

[jade tartan]

ok how do i make my own API?

[grand shell]

hey guys, does anyone know how I can retrieve all messages in a channel that were sent in the last hour? iv been trying to do it for ages but I cant get it working.

[jade tartan]

You did do it with cogs right?

i dont want cogs

[vale wing]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [`AsyncIterator`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AsyncIterator "discord.AsyncIterator") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[cloud dawn]

You don't have to but i do recommend it since it will be very difficult to read.

[vale wing]

Use after param

[cloud dawn]

You using repl.it?

[grand shell]

omg ty

[jade tartan]

No

Was before

[cloud dawn]

Do make a check though if in this channel for example you go trough all messages of the last hour it's going to take awhile.

[cloud dawn]

Then why the dislike of cogs :3

[vale wing]

Cogs are good

[cloud dawn]

Well guys

We need a Discord topics command

.topic

[lament depot]

**What's one feature you wish more developers had in their bots?**

Suggest more topics here!

[cloud dawn]

cogs

[final iron]

command framework

imo thats a very bad topic

[final iron]

Not force them to move to slash commands

[dire folio]

how would i make a command that removes a role from everyone who has it

[final iron]

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

property members: List[Member]```
Returns all the members with this role.

[final iron]

@dire folio

[jade tartan]

i dont know i just dont understand it maybe

'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.``` i wanna add a depoisitory but it wont work

How do i add it

@cloud dawn

[slate swan]

Guys pls help I can't find an uptime command without cogs

[final iron]

Then use cogs

[slate swan]

I can't learn how to use them

[final iron]

Why?

[cloud dawn]

Install git

[slate swan]

They're difficult and English is not my main language so I don't understand them completely

[cloud dawn]

Just create a variable on startup

[slate swan]

Don't know variables too. I'm new : D

[cloud dawn]

Then i recommend studying Python more first, this is not a library for complete beginners.

[slate swan]

Ok

Well I edited the cog settings to remove them and the uptime cmd works fine...

I have this code, and in theory, as soon as a member joined the server, it would give a role. But that's not happening. Can anyone help?

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    role = discord.utils.get(member.server.roles, name = "teste")
    await client.add.roles(member, role)```

[final iron]

client.add.roles?

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

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, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[final iron]

This is what you're looking for

[slate swan]

still not working

oh

wait

like this, right?

[final iron]

No

[slate swan]

oh

[final iron]

You use use member which is your discord.Member object

And I would suggest you actually read the docs I sent

[pliant gulch]

You'd use self instead of MyClient for get_channel as self is the instance not the class

[elder pike]

Thank you changed, still my problem persists

Trying to make a testmode command so that my bot will only respond to me. Already have some commands that only I can use with is_owner() but I can't find a way to lock all commands to be able to only be ran by me when I run testmode

[cloud dawn]

hmm

[left crater]

async def on_member_ban(self, member: discord.Member):

        if not channel:
            return
        await channel.send(f"{member} was banned
!")```

when someone gets banned i want the bot to say user was banned

[cloud dawn]

You could make cog checks.

[pliant gulch]

Just override on_message and only process_commands if the message's author id is the same as yours

[left crater]

but nothing happens

[slate swan]

Can someone explain to me why the bot stays on, puts a custom status but does not respond to commands?

import discord
import random
from decouple import config
from discord.ext import commands

    await ctx.channel.send(file=discord.File('imgs/lideresgym.png'))

# <-- Configs -->

TOKEN = config("TOKEN")
client.run(TOKEN)```

(The code is not mine, it's from a person I'm trying to help who doesn't speak English and I got confused too)

[tranquil badge]

So i read the docs on what checks were. It seems like that would work but I'd need the bot to be in a perpetual state of checking if the author is me when I put it into testmode.

[cloud dawn]

I looked at it idk.

Does the bot work if you don't do a custom status?

[tranquil badge]

Oh didn't see that. yea that'll definitely work

[slate swan]

I took that part of the code out and it still doesn't work

It's not that it doesn't work. It works. It's just not responding to commands

[tranquil badge]

Just gotta figure out how to implement

[slate swan]

For example, when I ping him, he answers me. But when I try to run a command, it doesn't respond.

[cloud dawn]

O right didn't see the on message

How do I create a leaderboard command? I have seen videos on that topic on YouTube, but I don't really get it. If you don't mind, kindly explain the code to me, and I use json to store everyone's data.

[cloud dawn]

But json is sync code.

[slate swan]

Wdym

[cloud dawn]

!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]

sql is so easy to learn thats the thing smh

[slate swan]

But I used json to make an economy system, and it worked. (PS: I'm new to coding with Python)

[frank tartan]

so i have a command where the user can setup the bot, but they need to input roles. How can I check to verify that those roles exist?

PLEASE PING IN REPLIES AND IF YOUR TALKING TO ME IN GENERAL

[slate swan]

!dictionary

[cloud dawn]

Check if they are roles by type hinting the arg they are converters.

[frank tartan]

how do you suggest i do that? also, PLEASE ping :(

[slate swan]

Can someone help?

[pliant gulch]

self.restart_bot as it's a method of your class. Also you aren't actually closing the bot itself before resetting so that would mean you get two processes

[cloud dawn]

Just regular typehint ```py
@bot.commad()
async def test(ctx: command.Context, role: discord.Role) -> Optional[Message]:

[frank tartan]

but i want it so they can do !setup channel #channel or !setup role @role

[cloud dawn]

How do user "setup" the bot?

[cloud dawn]

group the commands

[frank tartan]

how do i do that?

[slate swan]

I just wanted it to restart so that the code would update without me having to click the button every time I changed something

and thanks btw

[slate swan]

I always forget the self

[jade tartan]

it doesnt seem to work

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.group

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.group

@discord.ext.commands.group(name=..., cls=..., **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group").

This is similar to the [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.command "discord.ext.commands.command") decorator but the `cls` parameter is set to [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group") by default.

Changed in version 1.1: The `cls` parameter can now be passed.

[jade tartan]

@cloud dawn

[pliant gulch]

Yea, but you don't close the bot before you start a new process. Meaning you'd have two processes with the bot online in both of them. Making commands repeat etc, basically undefined behaviour sorta

[slim ibex]

if the restart_bot method doesn't care about the instance make it a staticmethod

[cloud dawn]

git clone https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake

[cloud dawn]

I recommend using the reload options from discord,py

If you are using cogs.

[jade tartan]

its making me sign in

but neither of them work

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def check(ctx):
    role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="x")
    if role in ctx.guild.roles:
        await ctx.send("The role is on the                           server. ")
     else:
         await ctx.send("The role is not on the server.")

X is represented as the name of the role, and the indents might be out of proportion due to me being on my phone.

Tho I don't use discord.py anymore.

[frank tartan]

too late... after what the other guy said i deleted it to use something else...

[slate swan]

Oh okay

[slate swan]

I will study more about it tomorrow, thanks

thanks for the advices @slim ibex and @pliant gulch

[jade tartan]

nope aint really working for me

nvm ill just maybe do it with node.js

[hoary cargo]

pov you can't install a library

[cloud dawn]

lmao

[frank tartan]

ok im comming back to this idea. but how can i check if they mention the role? it works when I say the role name, but not when I ping the role

[slate swan]

I'm going to write the code on my phone rq

[frank tartan]

kk

@slate swan i dont wanna be nosy, but are you done?

[crisp bloom]

can someone help me

it is giving me an error on this line

[torn sail]

role will always be in ctx.guild.roles if urs using discord.utils.get. if its not it will return None

[slate swan]

Python on android is giving me a headache, I'm in class rn so that's why I can't code on my laptop.

[frank tartan]

kk i can wait

[torn sail]

try typehinting role to discord.Role

[slate swan]

I think it's because I downloaded nextcord instead of discord.py

[slate swan]

Nvm I used the wrong token, I'm so stupid smh

[tough lance]

Hi

[slate swan]

I made it a variable so that I don't have to write more code

[torn sail]

wdym

[slate swan]

Instead of if discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="x") in ctx.guild.roles, I made it a variable to lessen what I write

@bot.command()
async def check(ctx,roles: discord.Role):
    role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name=roles)
    if role in ctx.guild.roles:
        await ctx.send("The role is on the                           server. ")
     else:

@frank tartan

[torn sail]

no

[slate swan]

Wait lemme make it better

[torn sail]

dont use discord.utils.get

[slate swan]

Why

[torn sail]

role converts it to discord.Role and if its not in the server it raises an error

[frank tartan]

ty

[torn sail]

im just saying thats a lot more code than you need

[pliant gulch]

The utils.get here is completely un-needed

[torn sail]

yeah

[pliant gulch]

typehinting roles to discord.Role already internally runs a role converter

So roles would be a discord.Role object already

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def check(ctx,roles: discord.Role):
    role = roles
    If role in ctx.guild.roles:
        await ctx.send("The role is on the server. ")
    else:
         await ctx.send("The role is not on the server.")

Wait

[pliant gulch]

roles has to be in the server otherwise it will raise an error

Since it's using the role converter

[torn sail]

andy is correct

[slate swan]

I see i see

[pliant gulch]

Just make a command specific error

And check if it raises the NotFound or whatever error it was

!d discord.ext.commands.RoleNotFound

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.RoleNotFound

exception discord.ext.commands.RoleNotFound(argument)```
Exception raised when the bot can not find the role.

This inherits from [`BadArgument`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BadArgument "discord.ext.commands.BadArgument")

New in version 1.5.

[slate swan]

I just want to learn how to make a chatbot

Or an interactive bot

I tried making a 2 player game with global variables, but once other people used it simultaneously, the bot broke.

Should I use a file to store the players' names or ids? @pliant gulch

[frank tartan]

so

[slate swan]

Does it work?

[frank tartan]

=yes

[slate swan]

Nice

[pliant gulch]

IDs, because names can change but IDs don't

[frank tartan]

yes but i ran into an error while saving it to a json file

TypeError: Object of type Role is not JSON serializable i get this error and i have no idea what it means

[slate swan]

Code

[pliant gulch]

Try not storing it in a file if I'm thinking correctly of what you are doing. Try using an actual database

[frank tartan]

no like

[pliant gulch]

You cannot store a Role object in a json

[slate swan]

I see i see

[frank tartan]

i have a command that saves it to a json file, but when i run it i get the command

[pliant gulch]

Just not logical nor is it how it should work

[frank tartan]

how can i fix that???

[pliant gulch]

You could store the ID, the name, etc

Not the object itself

[slate swan]

How will I do it tho?

Coding on phone is a pain in the ass

[frank tartan]

how might i do that?

[pliant gulch]

Access the property on the role object

[hoary cargo]

Then don't code on the phone, is not recommended

[slate swan]

I can't access my laptop due to me being in class

[frank tartan]

ok i figured it out @pliant gulch ty

[slate swan]

I have got no other choice

[slate swan]

Wait, so what are you trying to do?

[slate swan]

then dont code

[hoary cargo]

Just wait until class is done, that's it

[slate swan]

class is important to

I'm done with my sch work

But I still have to be in class

[hoary cargo]

@slate swan why u here again

[frank tartan]

i wanna make it so that you can do !setup_teams @team_role, then it will save the team role to a json file. This is because I am working on a custom signing bot template

[slate swan]

I'll just suffer not coding

[slate swan]

I see i see

Well goodluck

[slate swan]

can i not🧍‍♂️

[hoary cargo]

you can not

[slate swan]

why

[hoary cargo]

Federal reasons

[slate swan]

🚪🏃

Who knows how to create a leaderboard command?

[crisp bloom]

So... I am using this for users to ban people on the server using their id, but idk how to implement a try and exept block so if the user enters a wrong id it says "user not found"

is there a correct way to do this?

[patent lark]

thats very wrong.

[crisp bloom]

lmao I know

[patent lark]

on_command_error is an event, not something you can just accept

[crisp bloom]

yeah I for some reason thought that would work

[patent lark]

and use a member object, rather than converting the id parameter to a discord.User Object, and plus, you call the API for every user which is unnecessary

[crisp bloom]

wdym member object

[patent lark]

!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.

[patent lark]

bot.fetch_user() returns the discord.User object, which doesnt have a ban method.

ah you're unbanning

[crisp bloom]

yea

[patent lark]

i recommend you read the documentations before continuing.

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/

[frank tartan]

when I run

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def currentSettings(ctx):
    with open("channels.json", "r") as fp:
        chanData = json.load(fp)

    with open("players.json", "r") as pl:
        plaDada = json.load(pl)

    with open("teams.json", "r") as ts:
        teaDada= json.load(ts)

i get this error.
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 21 (char 20)

{"Offer": "Not set"}{"transactions": "Not set"}{"demands": "Not set"}

that is in channels.json, the others just have []. I know the problem, but have no idea how to prevent it. Because I put stuff into the json files using this command

@client.command()
async def saveSettings(ctx):
    with open("channels.json", "w") as file:
        json.dump({"Offer": offerChannel}, file),
        json.dump({"transactions": transactionChannel}, file),
        json.dump({"demands": demandChannel}, file)

    with open("teams.json", "w") as file:
        json.dump(teamList, file)

    await ctx.reply("I have saved all settings.")

[patent lark]

assuming you're using discord.py

your solution would be to use a database to store data, not json.

[frank tartan]

but databases arnt working for me, so im using json

[rotund creek]

Anyone know how I can get user object with pycord?

From given id

[wicked atlas]

1. That's not valid json.
2. Use a database

[frank tartan]

1. find me a database that actually works
2. how can i make it valid? ik its invalid... but thats how json put it in there

[tough lance]

aiosqlite (SQL)
ayncpg (PostgreSQL)
motor (MongoDB)

[wicked atlas]

mysql
sqlite
postgresql
MongoDB
redis

2. https://jsonlint.com/. You have multiple json objects next to each other, you should just use one object

{
  "Offer": "Not set",
  "transactions": "Not set",
  "demands": "Not set"
}

[frank tartan]

for 1, ive tried those. they dont work. for 2) ik its invalid... i didnt even put it there.

    with open("channels.json", "w") as file:
        json.dump({"Offer": offerChannel}, file),
        json.dump({"transactions": transactionChannel}, file),
        json.dump({"demands": demandChannel}, file)

    with open("teams.json", "w") as file:
        json.dump(teamList, file)

put it there

[wicked atlas]

well beacuse you're dumping it multiple times. Just dump one dict.

not sure why it's appending it tho, thats a bit weird

[tough lance]

Put a {} in the file also

[frank tartan]

how do you suggest i do that?

[frank tartan]

then how do you suggest i import and export stuff using a dict?

[wicked atlas]

well first of all, use a database, but you can just dump one dict like this

my_dict = {"key":"value", "2ndkey":"2ndvalue"}
json.dump(my_dict, file)

[frank tartan]

i still get the same error, but this is in the json file

{"offers": "Not set", "transactions": "Not set", "demands": "Not set"}

[wicked atlas]

Can you send the full error? It looks like you're opening a few json files, so it might not be on the line you think it si

[frank tartan]

[wicked atlas]

Looks like it's happening on line 86

plaDada = json.load(pl)

check whatever json you're loading there

[slate swan]

The json does not have a {} probably

[frank tartan]

ik

but how do you suggest i fix that?

[slate swan]

Do it manually

[frank tartan]

oh...

but I want to save settings using commands... not manually

[slate swan]

json is not a database , so u need to do that thing manually

No other way around

[frank tartan]

[frank tartan]

do you have a suggestion on which database i should try?

[brave tulip]

anyone know what i can use to change the text under the bot profile

like Listening to spotify for an example

just my own thing

[wicked atlas]

You can do that by changing the bot's activity status. What library?

[frank tartan]

activity = discord.Game(name="STATUS YOU WANT HERE", type=3)
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=activity)

that should work, its what i use

[brave tulip]

i was just looking for the function in python

to change the bots text

[slate swan]

Sqlite is An offline locally saved and easy to use db

[wicked atlas]

Well... what library? Python dosen't have them by default

[frank tartan]

tried it, didnt work

[wicked atlas]

ex. discord.py

[wicked atlas]

in what way did it not work?

[brave tulip]

wym what library

[slate swan]

Didn't work is not a thing , "I was unable to learn it" is

[frank tartan]

it did not work

[brave tulip]

theres more functions that do the same thing?

[frank tartan]

try to use what i suggetsed

activity = discord.Game(name="STATUS YOU WANT HERE", type=3)
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=activity)

[wicked atlas]

like do you use discord.py, nextcord, disnake.py, etc

woop

[brave tulip]

discord.py

[slate swan]

no worry

[brave tulip]

that should work though

[wicked atlas]

Yeah, then you should be able to use activity status like here

[frank tartan]

you can*

it works on my bot

[wicked atlas]

there are also more than that
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=activity#baseactivity

[brave tulip]

thats a lot of args

or i am maybe reading it wrong

[slate swan]

You don't need use everything given in the docs ,

Just use the params u need

Like activity and status

[brave tulip]

also i wonder how does sql fetch data in python

like is it always an array of stuff

i'm just grabbing a number and using cursor.fetchall()

[drifting arrow]

is it possible to use an array in @commands.has_any_role("admin")?

say @commands.has_any_role(my_roles_list['roles'])?

[magic ore]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_any_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_any\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_any_role(*items)```
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 **any** of the roles specified. This means that if they have one out of the three roles specified, then this check will return True.

Similar to [`has_role()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role "discord.ext.commands.has_role"), the names or IDs passed in must be exact.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") if the user is missing all roles, 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 [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") 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")

[magic ore]

has_any_role('role', 123, ...)

you can unpack the list

[wicked atlas]

@commands.has_any_role(*my_roles_list)

[drifting arrow]

Would this work for my list?

[wicked atlas]

What does your list look like?

[wicked atlas]

Is that a part of a dict?

Then you want to get that key's value, then unpack that

*that_dict["roles_baninfo"]

[drifting arrow]

Yes I'll be targeting that specific part

My variable will look like this:

myvariable = mydictionary['roles_baninfo']

[slate swan]

fetchall is most SQL databases returns a list of tuples

[wicked atlas]

Then you want to unpack myvariable

[slate swan]

is it possible to get the id of a role using its name?

[cloud dawn]

Why

[slate swan]

im just trying to figure out how to get the id of a role

[wicked atlas]

You could try

role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Role Name")
```if you're using something based off discord.py

[slate swan]

nice ty

[drifting arrow]

Thank you! It worked

What's the documentation to look up for limiting a command to a specific channel

[wicked atlas]

Well, I think you would need to write your own conditional for that

discord.py dosen't have a decordator for it

[drifting arrow]

😦

[wicked atlas]

you could make your own check though
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=nsfw#checks

[slate swan]

how would i assign a role to a user by using their id

[drifting arrow]

are you passing the user mention into the command?

Or is the bot doing it on join?

The targeting method changes based on how the command triggers

[tranquil badge]

I sent a message earlier about trying to make a test mode command that only i can use and prevents anyone from being able to use regular commands.

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    owner_id=352986404621647873
    if message.author.id == owner_id and message.content == '!testmode':
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('**`Now in test mode.`**')
        await bot.process_commands(message)

With it set up like this it prevents all commands.

Could I do a normal command like

@commands.command(name='testmode')
@commands.check(on_message):

I'm probably miss understanding something about this

[drifting arrow]

If you're doing on_member_join
then you want to target the member part. https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html?highlight=on_member_join#discord.on_member_join

If you're doing a command, then you want to use the mention functionality when you call the command. member : discord.Member in the command thingy
and simply get their info by that.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

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, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[slate swan]

get the user or use a arg and use the coro

[pliant gulch]

This is close, but logically not correct. It would only run commands if the message content is !testmode thus would only work for that and not other commands. You want to set a bot variable to be a bool E.g bot.test_mode and then check if test_mode is True instead of message.content == !testmode

[drifting arrow]

You can get the user using one of the methods I mentioned above.

[pliant gulch]

This would mean you also would make a command that sets bot.test_mode to False or True in order for this to work

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_user

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

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

for the command section, what would i need to pass following discord.Member , or is discord.Member by itself, a value

[drifting arrow]

Again, it's about how he wants to do it. he still needs to get the specific user lol.

[slate swan]

i want to make a bot command that will respond to a direct message, how do i do this?

[drifting arrow]

async def kick(self,ctx, member : discord.Member, *, reason = None):
        if reason == None:
            reason = "No reason given."
            await member.kick(reason=reason)
``` In this instance, 'member' is the variable and you're just pre-defining it to be a discord.member item

[slate swan]

he said get the user by id

[slate swan]

oh yeah

[slate swan]

member is an argument and you dont pre-define its a type hint

[drifting arrow]

Yes. it's a case of how does he want to grab it? is he parsing it through the variable specifically? or is he just doing an @ ?
or is it on member join? or does the bot grab every member in the discord and assigns roles?

[drifting arrow]

Aight. I'll remember that.

I've always thought it was a pre-define

[slate swan]

type hints do not alter run time

[drifting arrow]

Anyway. it's still about how he's grabbing the member. at which step does he need to worry about?

[slate swan]

!e

def function(name: str):
    return print(name)

function(1)

[unkempt canyon]

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

1

[slate swan]

I dont mean to spam but: i want to make a bot command that will respond to a direct message, how do i do this?

Like the first time I dm the bot, it will send one message. The second time, it will send another. Then the third time another message...

[tranquil badge]

Alright, so once it's in a true or false state, what part would be actively be checking if that user can run commands?

[pliant gulch]

The same code you had earlier in the on_message but instead of message.content == ... you'd do and bot.test_mode is True

[slate swan]

tbh you can just add a default value of a string and not None or do if reason is None: or if not reason:

question, how do i toggle allow anyone to mention this role in dpy

[pliant gulch]

Or reason = reason or "default", but the best choice is just to give it a default value in the command signature like you said

[slate swan]

yeah

can someone please answer my previous question

if someone were to dm a bot twice, is there any way to change the message the second time someone dms?

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [`AsyncIterator`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AsyncIterator "discord.AsyncIterator") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[slate swan]

check if the dm channel has a history with a message sent from user

thank u sm ill check it out

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```

what would you fill in for the first three dots?

the time?

or number of messages

@slate swan

[spring flax]

you can put message because you are iterating through messages

[slate swan]

wait i am so sorry

i want to dm a bot once, get one message. Then the second time i dm it, i want to get a different message

is this possible?

[tranquil badge]

Couldn't i just set this to a False with on_ready() then change the state with a regular command and use is_owner? I already have owner specific commands. I'm still confused how I would allow myself to still do commands though. Sorry for being difficult.

[slate swan]

anyone know how to get the position of the bot in the role hierarchy

[tranquil badge]

Setting it up the way I have it blocks my commands also.

[tranquil badge]

Like give it a role?

[slate swan]

i mean to get the position of where the bot sits in the role menu

[rancid tendon]

I'm using Pycord with this code to get any event I want:

event = ctx.guild.get_scheduled_event(int(eventid))
if event is not None:
    users = await event.subscribers(limit=100).flatten()

but I get this error:

in get_scheduled_event_users
    'before': int(before),
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType'

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=event subscribers#discord.ScheduledEvent.subscribers
It doesn't say to specify before...
So do I need to do it now or not???

[tough lance]

Just get a tuple of all the roles in guild and search for the index of bot's role in the tuple

[pliant gulch]

So as long as you can set the variable True or False. You just need to make sure your logic is correct inside of the on_message, you still need to process_commands in the case where test_mode is set to False

That's why it's blocking all your commands, it's because you aren't handling that part

[slate swan]

Anyone know how to make an inventory for the bot and if you catch anything, it adds it into your inventory

How would I remove multiple roles from a member? Would I need to get all roles for each command and then use remove_roles( role1, role2, etc)?

[sick birch]

Database, like sqlite or postgresql

Though I think mongodb might be easier to model that type of data

"*roles (abc.Snowflake) – An argument **list ** of abc.Snowflake representing a Role to remove from the member."

[slate swan]

So I would need to get all roles for each command?

Can I get them globally once somehow?

[sick birch]

you can pass in the IDs

[slate swan]

Oh!

[sick birch]

as a list

[slate swan]

Okay thanks

[spring flax]

you need to remove role objects

[slate swan]

yeah thats what I thought, it is possible to define them once in a cog so its not repetitive for each cmd?

[spring flax]

you can get the role obj having the id with this below

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.utils.find "discord.utils.find").

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

Examples

Basic usage...

[slate swan]

any its ot but what happens when sql cant find a table?

[spring flax]

you mean what error is raised?

[slate swan]

yeah

if any ofc and how would i do an action on it

[cobalt jacinth]

how to check if a message has attachment.

[spring flax]

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message.

[cobalt jacinth]

ok thank

[pliant gulch]

You can also just construct discord.Objects with the IDs of the roles

Since remove_roles takes a snowflake

[spring flax]

uhhh i forgot

[slate swan]

yeah but I would have to do it for each command right? 3 times for each command makes it cumbersome. How do I do it just once and then use the role obj for all cmds?

[pliant gulch]

[slate swan]

andy can you help :((

[slate swan]

How would I do that?

[pliant gulch]

!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.

[slate swan]

ooh thanks!

[pliant gulch]

Would just show an error saying it couldn't find the table

[spring flax]

i'm pretty sure he wants to handle that error ^

[slate swan]

how would i do something on it?

[pliant gulch]

Are you trying to make a default value in your database if it isn't found?

[slate swan]

like a try and except

[slate swan]

no like what if a column isnt found

[pliant gulch]

try-except the error then

[slate swan]

can i really do that🧍‍♂️

[spring flax]

ah it's OperationalError @slate swan

[slate swan]

so the error raises as a traceback in your terminal🧍‍♂️

omg its aiosqlite ofc it will raise errors🤦‍♂️

sorry guys i had a bit of a brain fart

[spring flax]

yeah specifically you should see something like sqlite3.OperationalError: no such table [table name] but yeah you can handle it

[slate swan]

yeah sorry i had a bit of a brainfart

How do I create channels on command?

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you need the [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") of overwrites with the target (either 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")) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite") as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit "discord.TextChannel.edit") will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

[slate swan]

Yep :(

[stable berry]

hello

[spring flax]

was your issue solved?

hello Twirly

[stable berry]

self.FFMPEG_OPTIONS ={'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5'. 'options': '-vn'}

is the syntax correct

[stable berry]

hi diabolical

[spring flax]

this uses ydl right

[stable berry]

yes

[spring flax]

!ytdl

[unkempt canyon]

[spring flax]

tldr it violates YouTube ToS and we can't help with that

[slate swan]

Nooe

[stable berry]

should i not use it ?

[stable berry]

ok

thanks

so i am not going to use that

[slate swan]

when I make an on_message function using nextcord, why does it keep on looping?

[stable berry]

what should i use to make a music bot 😅

[slate swan]

wdym by looping?

[final iron]

Nothing

It's against YouTube's tos

[slate swan]

@client.listen("on_message")
async def filter(message):
    await message.channel.send(message.content)
    pass

[stable berry]

🥲

[slate swan]

this is the code I have rn

[slate swan]

non copyright music is the only thing not from yt

[stable berry]

yes

[slate swan]

on each msg it will send a msg no matter the author

[stable berry]

that means no no for music bot

[spring flax]

on_message is for every single message posted

[slate swan]

which the bot sends the msg so it will loop itself

Oh I see I see

you need to check the authors id

and no need for the pass

[spring flax]

yeah, i was trying to say the bot's message is a message too

[slate swan]

yeah

[stable berry]

what is the pass used for

[slate swan]

ignore

[spring flax]

it doesn't really do anything

[slate swan]

yeah

just ignores it

how do I check if the message author is a bot?

[true moon]

if message.author == client.user

[slate swan]

Thank you

[final iron]

That would only check if the author is his bot

[slate swan]

yeah, what should I use then?

[stable berry]

oo

[slate swan]

!d discord.abc.User.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.User.bot

If the user is a bot account.

[slate swan]

returns a bool

[final iron]

!d discord.Member.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.bot

property bot```
Equivalent to [`User.bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.bot "discord.User.bot")

[slate swan]

that as well

same thing lol

[stable berry]

😅

[final iron]

It's an aliase

[slate swan]

yeah

[final iron]

Why do those exist?

Consistency?

[stable berry]

i had one more question

[slate swan]

probably because theirs user and member

[stable berry]

like i used member.joined_at for showing the join date and time of when the user joined the server

what should i use to show their discord join date

[final iron]

!d discord.User.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.created\_at

property created_at: datetime```
Returns the user’s creation time in UTC.

This is when the user’s Discord account was created.

[stable berry]

thanks water

[final iron]

[brave tulip]

how do i add a emoji for presence on my bot

[slate swan]

you mean activity?

[brave tulip]

i tried Activity(), CustomActivity()

await bot.change_presence( status = discord.Status.online, activity = discord.Activity(emoji = '🔥', name = str(amount) + "/" + str(max) + " Online!", type = 2))

this gives me an error

[slate swan]

thank you

!d discord.Activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Activity

class discord.Activity(**kwargs)```
Represents an activity in Discord.

This could be an activity such as streaming, playing, listening or watching.

For memory optimisation purposes, some activities are offered in slimmed down versions:

• [`Game`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Game "discord.Game")

• [`Streaming`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Streaming "discord.Streaming")

[final iron]

Is using 2 optional arguments in a command hard to implement checks for or am I just doing it wrong

[slate swan]

doesnt have such a kwarg

[brave tulip]

it does have emoji wym

[slate swan]

nvm it does give me a sec

[ebon island]

What is the best / most performant Async ODM for MongoDB?

[brave tulip]

i think its not possible

it must be a discord thing

cause i haven't found a bot with an emoji yet

[slate swan]

!d discord.PartialEmoji is its type

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PartialEmoji

class discord.PartialEmoji```
Represents a “partial” emoji.

This model will be given in two scenarios:

• “Raw” data events such as [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add")

• Custom emoji that the bot cannot see from e.g. [`Message.reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message.reactions "discord.Message.reactions")...

[soft wind]

guys

how i disconnect

the bot afterit play

mp3 file ???

!d

!d discord

[brave tulip]

how am i suppose to use this

[slate swan]

dont flood the channel with commands

!d discord.VoiceClient.disconnect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceClient.disconnect

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

Disconnects this voice client from voice.

[slate swan]

maybe just set it in the text as :fire:

[brave tulip]

but what arg

[slate swan]

just in the text

[brave tulip]

name = '🔥' gives me an error

[slate swan]

no not in a kwarg but in the text

like the status text

[brave tulip]

the activity name?

[slate swan]

yeah

[brave tulip]

i was trying to figure out how to add custom status too

it wasn't letting me do a custom one

[slate swan]

in your bot like not a game etc?

[brave tulip]

what

yea

like for ex

[slate swan]

bots cant

[bitter perch]

Bots can't have custom statuses

[brave tulip]

bruh

they can't have emojis then either

[slate swan]

welp im going to go to sleep early gn

[stable berry]

gn

how to show random colour

like in this statement

[slate swan]

random color by?

[stable berry]

embed = discord.Embed(title=member.name, description=member.mention, color=0x00FFFF)

in this

instead of cyan

[slate swan]

a random embed color

[stable berry]

yes

[slate swan]

!pypi discordheximals

[unkempt canyon]

discordheximals v0.0.3

returns hexcode by name for discord.py and its forks

[slate swan]

well my module has a random color function

which picks any color from 742 if thats what your looking for

[stable berry]

yes

which can give random colour each time

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

color=discordheximals.Color.random()

would be how it should look

[stable berry]

thanks

[stable berry]

that means nothing will be there within the brackets

[slate swan]

yeah it takes no parameters

[stable berry]

ok thanks 😃

[slate swan]

yw

[stable berry]

btw cute about section

[slate swan]

thank you cute profile picture

[stable berry]

thank you

[slate swan]

yw

all the colors are in the github btw

[stable berry]

oki

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Okimii/discordheximals/blob/main/README.md

[stable berry]

thanks

[slate swan]

np

@client.listen("on_message")
async def lol(message):
  if message.author != discord.Member.bot:
    await message.channel.send(message.content)
  pass

When I run this code, the message sent keeps on repeating.

Is there anything wrong with my code?

discord.Member is supposed to represent a Member object, don't just copy paste.

.bot returns bool

You have a member object in which is message.autor

@client.listen("on_message")
async def lol(message):
  if message.author != message.author.bot:
    await message.channel.send(message.content)
  pass

or when I run this code

[slate swan]

yeah I tried that

if message.author.bot is True:
    return

message.author which is a Member object will never be equals a boolean.

Just check

if not message.author.bot:

I see I see

[slate swan]

ah sorry i just thought you could since .bot returns bool but it makes more sense

[slate swan]

this worked, thanks

[slate swan]

I see I'm not the only one wasting my time at copying lots of stuff many times ^^

but why didn't it work when I did if message.author != message.author.bot

As I said

[slate swan]

yeah it took 10+ hours

[slate swan]

as you said

message.author returns a Member object. message.author.bot returns a boolean.

I see

Member will never ever be equals to a boolean.

I see thanks

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

but it was worth it 742 colors in total

https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Wordlists/blob/master/README.md

The README.md was pain to make, took me so much time. Don't remember how many but I'd say at least 2-3.

[slate swan]

teach me

It was literally all the time

• Move file in a folder
• Open file and see the number of lines
• Write [Name](folder/file.txt) - Lines x

So much pain

dang im horrible at readmes

[boreal osprey]

im trying to do a on_member_join event inside of a cog but it doesn't send anything

[slate swan]

do you have member intents on?

[boreal osprey]

yes

[slate swan]

and have you loaded the cog and is the event in the cog(indentations)?

[boreal osprey]

yes

[slate swan]

show the cog

[boreal osprey]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_join(self,member):
    channel = bot.get_channel(738540358761316439)
    emb=discord.Embed(description = f'Welcome to the server {member.mention}!', color = discord.Colour.random())
    emb.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)
    await channel.send(embed=emb)
    await member.send("I hope you enjoy your time in this server! :slight_smile:")

[slate swan]

try printing on the event

[spring flax]

self.bot.get_channel

[slate swan]

oh yeah

good eye

[spring flax]

it should raise an error, you have an error handler?

[boreal osprey]

no, i didn't have a error handler i think

but i added self and it work now

[patent lark]

you havent properly accessed your bot object.

[crisp bloom]

hey guys, why doesnt this work? I dont know it works sometimes, but now it just stopped working

@patent lark

[shadow wraith]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tawdry perch]

define not work?

[tender estuary]

.topic

[lament depot]

**What's one feature you wish more developers had in their bots?**

Suggest more topics here!

[maiden fable]

Uhh bro, this is a topical chat

[vale glen]

Anyone got ideas for my discord bot? It’s based on retrieving data, such as covid-19, weather, etc,

[slate swan]

Retrieve more data. There are probably a multitude of data to gather and display.

[slate swan]

So?

The point of the command is to get a topic, related to Discord bots, to talk about instead of not talking at all or about something not related to Discord bots.

So there's absolutely nothing wrong about using it here.

[spring flax]

class EmbedFlags(commands.FlagConverter):
    title : str =None
    description: str```
Can I make this accept either `title/description` **or** `t/d` as a short form?

[maiden fable]

Ah, I thought it gave random topics to talk about. Sorry bout that

[slate swan]

The topic command always gets a random topic related to the current channel.

[spring flax]

anyone?

[slate swan]

The class?

As py EmbedFlags(title="SmThIng")?

[spring flax]

Sorry I meant like if i have a command

    @commands.command()
    async def embed(self, ctx, *, flags: EmbedFlags):
        embed = disnake.Embed(title=flags.title if flags.title else '', description=flags.description)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Is it possible that I can do either one of the below
>embed title:[title] description:[description]
or
>embed t:[title] d:[desciption]

[maiden fable]

I don't really think anyone knows about the answer to the question, Diabolical

[spring flax]

ah i guess it's not possible?

maybe i can make two flag classes and use union, actually

[maiden fable]

Yea u can try doing that

Orrr try doing something like title or t = None

Idk this doesn't even make sense

[vale wing]

EmbedFlags is a custom converter right?

[spring flax]

it's a commands.FlagConverter class

!d discord.ext.commands.FlagConverter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.FlagConverter

class discord.ext.commands.FlagConverter```
A converter that allows for a user-friendly flag syntax.

The flags are defined using [**PEP 526**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0526) type annotations similar to the [`dataclasses`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html#module-dataclasses "(in Python v3.9)") Python module. For more information on how this converter works, check the appropriate [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/commands.html#ext-commands-flag-converter).

iter(x) Returns an iterator of `(flag_name, flag_value)` pairs. This allows it to be, for example, constructed as a dict or a list of pairs. Note that aliases are not shown.

New in version 2.0.

[vale wing]

Ok

[spring flax]

haha yeah that made no sense anyways I got it to work

[vale wing]

@spring flax the only thing I can suggest is to overwrite __getattr__ in your custom class. I am sure the FlagConverter (or its another parent class if it has one) has that overwrited as well, so you could look for example

[spring flax]

yeah that's fine, I just use this as an alternative

@bot.command()
@admin_only()
async def embed(ctx, *, flags : Union[EmbedFlags, ShortEmbedFlags]):
    if isinstance(flags, EmbedFlags):
        embed = disnake.Embed(title=flags.title if flags.title else '', description=flags.description)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    if isinstance(flags, ShortEmbedFlags):
        embed = disnake.Embed(title=flags.t if flags.t else '', description=flags.d)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

made two flag classes, one with title/description and one with t/d

[vale wing]

Alright seems legit

[tender estuary]

1 cmd that I have is not working

and the reason is literally nothing.

The other day it was working not it isnt

[spring flax]

what is it

the code

[tender estuary]

let me give here

@client.command(aliases=["cmds"])

                    inline=True)
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

No reason this won't be working

[slate swan]

You mistyped "description".

[tender estuary]

ohhhh

[hot cobalt]

It sounds like there's a bigger issue here

[slate swan]

You wrote dsecription instead.

[hot cobalt]

Because you should have seen an error

So if you didn't that means you're masking it somewhere

[tender estuary]

wait there's another command

[hot cobalt]

And you should fix that as soon as possible

[tender estuary]

did not

I use replit btw it does not show errors

[hot cobalt]

Which means you're masking it somewhere

[slate swan]

Do you have an on_message event by any chance?

[hot cobalt]

I can't say I've used it, but I highly doubt that

[tender estuary]

nvm @slate swan fixed it

[slate swan]

All righty

[hot cobalt]

@tender estuary Do you have error handling anywhere?

[tender estuary]

yep

[hot cobalt]

Send your code for that

[slate swan]

Also I'm pretty sure replit shows errors.

[hot cobalt]

It absolutely should

[tender estuary]

does not the way VSC did

[hot cobalt]

If it doesn't... well... why would anyone use it

[slate swan]

Yes it does.

[tender estuary]

@client.command(aliases=['wd'])
async def withdraw(ctx, money: int):
    cursor.execute(
        f"SELECT wallet_amt FROM account_table WHERE user_id = {ctx.author.id};"
    )
    db.commit()
    result_w = str(cursor.fetchone())
    result_w = str(result_w).strip('[](),')
    result_w = int(result_w)

        result_b = result_b - money

        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

You eventually have something not opened or you're not sending errors correctly.

[tender estuary]

doesn't for me

[tender estuary]

this does not work as well

[hot cobalt]

@tender estuary Again, let's fix this error handling

Because you're just creating a headache for yourself

[slate swan]

If you have an error handler you eventually blocked remaining errors from showing.

[hot cobalt]

And many more to come

Send your error handling code

[tender estuary]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
        await ctx.send(
            f"No such command, {ctx.author.mention}. type v!cmds for available cmds!"
        )
    elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send(f'Please enter all required arguments.')
    elif isinstance(error, commands.BadArgument):
        await ctx.send(
            f'The command does not take that as the argument, {ctx.author.mention}.'
        )
    elif isinstance(error, commands.BotMissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send(
            f'I miss the permissions to perform that, Make sure to put my role at the top! {ctx.author.mention}.'
        )
    elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send(
            f'You miss the roles to use this command! {ctx.author.mention}.')
    elif isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=f'Cool down before I burn you up.',
            description=f'Try the command again in {int(error.retry_after)}s.',
            color=0x000000)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[placid skiff]

what a mess embeds list like that lol, create a list of tuples of name, value and inline like this

embed_test_creation=[("name1", "value1", True)("name2", "value2", False)] #and so go on
for name, value, inline in embed_test_creation:
  embed.add_field(name=name, value=value, inline=inline)

[slate swan]

As you can see, all others errors are ignored.

You'd want to raise error at the end to make sure they all show.

[hot cobalt]

@tender estuary You should have an else which raises the error

[tender estuary]

let me do it

[tender estuary]

help me with this please

[hot cobalt]

We can't yet, we need to see the error first

Fix up the error handling, run your code again, see if you get an error this time

If there isn't one then we can start looking for logic errors

[tender estuary]

else:
      raise error
``` ( ignore indent for now ) correct way?

[hot cobalt]

Yep

[tender estuary]

did not

[hot cobalt]

Did not what?

[tender estuary]

show any error

[hot cobalt]

Right, so must be a logic error assuming you've saved and ran the new code

[tender estuary]

And also to mention

whenever I add something to the bot, this is the command which goes null

most of the time

So, what do I do

Do I rewrite the whole command

[spring flax]

what timezone does message.created_at return?

[maiden fable]

Utc

!d discord.Message.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.created\_at

property created_at: datetime.datetime```
The message’s creation time in UTC.

[spring flax]

oh okay my bad thanks

can anyone suggest any unique utility commands? I ran out of ideas

[tender estuary]

I need them as well.

[slate swan]

                embed = discord.Embed(  # Create embed message with current and max online.

                    colour=int("0x2f3136", 16)
                )

how to deploy my bot on azure

pls tell if you know

[honest shoal]

not familiar with azure tbh

[latent veldt]

I am having azure subscription

[honest shoal]

you can google it tho

[latent veldt]

i didn't get any help

no idea their

[honest shoal]

also this channel is not realted with hosting

!d discord.on_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_add

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

Note

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

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

Note

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

[honest shoal]

its an event

its not for command

that's an event

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[honest shoal]

why .id

look at the first line

you want msg2 variable as a message but it is something weird

[maiden fable]

!or-gotcha

[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.")

help??

[small igloo]

how to make my bot get the last 1000 voters and send them in an embed

[small igloo]

code (embed needs value btw)

[zealous dagger]

how to fix this

[small igloo]

dk, no code we can;t read mind

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @zealous dagger!

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)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[bronze prawn]

but i put value

[small igloo]

click dat link

[small igloo]

send code :l

[zealous dagger]

HOw to use that

[small igloo]

click dat link, and paste ur code, ctrl+s, send the link that the web generate here

[zealous dagger]

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

Here you go

while True:
      try: # try except is not required but i would recommend using it
        event = await client.wait_for("select_option", check=None)

        label = event.component[0].label

        if label == "Option 1":
          await event.respond(type=InteractionType.ChannelMessageWithSource,ephemeral=True,
                        embed=e1
                    )
        elif label == "Option 2":
          await event.respond(type=InteractionType.ChannelMessageWithSource,ephemeral=True,embed=e2)
        elif label == "Option 3":
          await event.respond(type=InteractionType.ChannelMessageWithSource,ephemeral=False,embed=e3)


      except discord.NotFound:
        print("error.")```

Here you go

It is showing

InteractionType

not difined

[bronze prawn]

greatt

[zealous dagger]

where is that located in

discord.py

[bronze prawn]

yes

[small igloo]

if i not wrong, in this version InteractionType from button is removed (lemme getthe reference, wait)

[zealous dagger]

OHhhhhh snap

I wanted to use select option

[small igloo]

🤷‍♂️

[small igloo]

reaction maybe :v

[zealous dagger]

Hey

[bronze prawn]

oh

[zealous dagger]

I wanted to use

The select option

This

[small igloo]

docs linkhttps://devkiki7000.gitbook.io/discord-components/change-log/2.0.0#breaking-changes

[zealous dagger]

I have made the ui

But how to respond on the message

[small igloo]

:l ok, not experienced on that, some ppl like sarthak_, or okimii might help

:l both off

[vale wing]

@zealous dagger what library do you use

[zealous dagger]

discord.py

[vale wing]

What version

[zealous dagger]

discord_components

for the ui

[vale wing]

Why do people like discord_components so much lol

It is very inconvenient to use imho

[zealous dagger]

I don't know how to use aany other

[small igloo]

so, how

[bronze prawn]

thx

[small igloo]

reaction in menus might help :v

[small igloo]

k

[vale wing]

For example you could use dpy 2.0 or its fork (fork is better)

[zealous dagger]

OK

So

[vale wing]

There are examples in examples folder on github

[zealous dagger]

WHat I have to do

for that

[small igloo]

can u send all message in one?

[zealous dagger]

Sorry man that's my habit

[small igloo]

oh ok then :v

[zealous dagger]

My code is of 350 lines

[small igloo]

just a reminder that in this channel, slowmode enabled

[vale wing]

The easiest to do right now is to install dpy 2.0, but it is no longer maintained

[zealous dagger]

Ok

pip3 install dpy

[vale wing]

Check pins to know how to do that

[vale wing]

You mean voters on top.gg or something?

They won't fit into the embed tho lol

[small igloo]

yee (i alr use top.gg API last 1000 voters, i just wanna know how to print all the voters username)

[vale wing]

Need to check their API docs brb

[small igloo]

don't worry :) i just have around 9 or 8 voters (pity pls)

[small igloo]

kek ok

i bet someone will think u r writing a novel

[zealous dagger]

I can't find

[vale wing]

@small igloo do you have any code right now?

[zealous dagger]

there are too many of them

[small igloo]

wait, lemme send

[small igloo]
