discord.abc.GuildChannel

class discord.abc.GuildChannel```
An ABC that details the common operations on a Discord guild channel.

The following implement this ABC...

[twin moon]

GuildChannel is the type of channel which is in interaction.channel

[maiden fable]

Yea, so?

Ah wait

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions\_for

permissions_for(obj, /)```
Handles permission resolution for the [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role").

This function takes into consideration the following cases...

[maiden fable]

Yea this exists

[twin moon]

'ClientUser' object has no attribute '_roles' ClientUser = bot, _roles = roles

[maiden fable]

Bro, try doing interaction.guild.me

[twin moon]

I DID BEFORE AND IT DIDNT WORK

!d discord.Guild.me

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.me

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

[twin moon]

bruh?

there is no

interaction.guild.permissions_for

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions\_for

permissions_for(obj, /)```
Handles permission resolution for the [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role").

This function takes into consideration the following cases...

[maiden fable]

No

!d discord.Role.permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.permissions

property permissions: discord.permissions.Permissions```
Returns the role’s permissions.

[twin moon]

!d discord.Member.permissions

[unkempt canyon]

Nah.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

is Music imported in __init__.py

[maiden fable]

None will spoonfeed

[twin moon]

on_message:
level + 1

[twin moon]

^^

use a db

like sqlite

[static lintel]

yeah

[slate swan]

but use the async bridge

[twin moon]

aiosqlite

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

can I see the init .py

Or is it same as the old one

[static lintel]

its the same as the old one

[twin moon]

AttributeError: 'ClientUser' object has no attribute '_roles'

[slate swan]

it's guild.me.roles

@slate swan Learn python

not plagarism

if we dont help you its because you copied

[twin moon]

why?

I want the perms

[maiden fable]

I told him the potential solution, but, uhhh

[twin moon]

Who is bin

or him

[maiden fable]

Typo

[slate swan]

Because a user does not have perms , but a member does , and Guild.me returns the bot's member object for the Guild object

/roles

[twin moon]

interaction.user is a member

[slate swan]

no

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[maiden fable]

It can be both

[slate swan]

Yep

And I'm not asking you to use that for inter.user , you have self.client.user there , that's what I'm talking about

[twin moon]

instead of what?

[slate swan]

told you twice

Guild.me

[twin moon]

interaction.guild.me.permissions_for(member)

[twin moon]

^^ yes or no

[slate swan]

No

[twin moon]

then what?

[twin moon]

if interaction.channel.permissions_for(self.client.user).mute_members is True:```

```roles = obj._roles
AttributeError: 'ClientUser' object has no attribute '_roles'```

[visual island]

use guild.me for it

[twin moon]

how?

[visual island]

how what?

!d discord.Guild.me

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.me

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

[twin moon]

if interaction.guild.me.permissions_for(member)

[visual island]

replace the self.client.user with guild.me

[twin moon]

atleast someone says it

[twin moon]

interaction.guild.me?

[visual island]

yeah

[placid skiff]

But why do you use an if when you could use bot_has_permissions?

[twin moon]

BECAUSE SLASH COMMANDS DONT HAVE THAT

[placid skiff]

Wait what module are you using? Lol

[twin moon]

nextcord

[placid skiff]

Bruh just use disnake, checks works for slash commands too

[twin moon]

no

[placid skiff]

Lol

[twin moon]

nextcord is official

[placid skiff]

tbh is a fork

[twin moon]

yea but better

and official not like pycord

[placid skiff]

Bruh disnake is a fork too, it has literally the same thing that has nextcord but slash commands are better

[twin moon]

But official is better

[placid skiff]

It isn't official 😂 😂

[twin moon]

nextcord is

[quick gust]

What does "official" mean to you?

[placid skiff]

discord.py was official, then they stopped mantain it and people started use forks, there are planty of them and nextcord isn't official

[twin moon]

then its the best fork

[placid skiff]

No it isn't 😂 😂
There isn't a best fork, they're all the same for the most of things, in disnake you can use slash commands with check both custom and built-in from the fork, disnake started used slash commands a lot before then nextcord and they're not in test phase anymore, they works fine

[twin moon]

nextcord is bigger ( little racist but ) and bigger is better

[placid skiff]

Bro literally, what part of "they're all the same" you didn't understand?

[slate swan]

there's no "bigger" fork existing , but if you're talking about features
Disnake is surely ahead others

[twin moon]

TypeError: Timeout must be a `datetime.datetime` or `datetime.timedelta`not _MissingSentinel```

@nextcord.slash_command(name = "nickname",description="kick a member",guild_ids=[ServerID])

            await interaction.followup.send(f"{member} nickname has been changed to {member if nickname is None else nickname}")```

[slate swan]

It takes a datetime object

and there's not timeout there , wrong code?

[twin moon]

no

nick (Optional[str]) – The member’s new nickname. Use None to remove the nickname.

[slate swan]

.... The error comes from somewhere you have Timeout

[twin moon]

  File "c:\Users\Kinder\Visual Code\PY Bot Moderation\cogs\moderation_slash_command.py", line 116, in nickname

[slate swan]

Oh this , someone else faced this but was unable to solve , did you try asking this in their support server?

[timid wagon]

I think that's a bug? You're not passing any kind of timeout attribute

[twin moon]

I got banned from it

[slate swan]

hm , I'll ask and let you know

[twin moon]

I pulled a uno reverse card

[slate swan]

@twin moon try this member.edit(nick=nickname , timeout= member.timeout)

How can I host bot

[twin moon]

nextcord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

[twin moon]

like and then just get spoonfead?

[slate swan]

your bot misses permission to edit nickname of that member

[slate swan]

get a vps , or a host

[twin moon]

But I have

[slate swan]

Raspberry Pi and self host are always an option

[slate swan]

But the bot can't

Edit your nick

[slate swan]

Does it take money

[twin moon]

why?

[slate swan]

There are free as well as paid hosts

I don't know how to do that

[slate swan]

You are the owner of the server right?

[twin moon]

yes

[slate swan]

How do you expect someone to edit you name

[maiden fable]

no one can touch the Owner

[twin moon]

huh

[green bluff]

i think i forgot discord.py

[maiden fable]

Should work

[green bluff]

doesnt tho

saved and reset

[maiden fable]

Error

[green bluff]

nup

nothing'

[slate swan]

It can't run ?

[twin moon]

yea but how?

[maiden fable]

Do u have intents? @green bluff

[quick gust]

Invite an alt account and test on it

You are the server owner and the bot cannot ban, kick, mute, timeout or edit your nickname

[maiden fable]

The bot can edit roles tho

For the owner

[quick gust]

Remove/add his roles?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[quick gust]

Oh

[maiden fable]

As long as the role is lower than the bot's highest role

[quick gust]

I see

[copper gulch]

is there a way to get a list of user_ids in a certain voice_channel they joined in

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.members

property members: List[Member]```
Returns all members that are currently inside this voice channel.

[copper gulch]

ok ok thank you

[spring flax]

hey if I wanted to make a modmail bot, what do you think is the best way to log conversations?

[slender pumice]

an on_message event

[spring flax]

no like log the messages and save them for staff to see later

[slender pumice]

yeah

on_message and save the messages in a txt file for example

but u need to implement some checks to not interfere with other dms/channels/servers

[leaden hollow]

    @commands.command(description='')
    @commands.cooldown(1,z, commands.BucketType.user)
    async def spin(self, ctx):
        fs = rnga()

so I want same value as fs in cooldown,any way it is possible?

[slender pumice]

how what

[solar anchor]

is there any free way to run my bot 24/7?

[slender pumice]

vps

[solar anchor]

is that free?

[slender pumice]

Need to run your bot 24/7? Get a cheap VPS.

[solar anchor]

thankss

[slender pumice]

u can do that, first u need to check if the messages are in dms then u respond depending on how u wanna implement command listening for dms

in probot's case, in dms, it doesnt need prefix for commands

dms as in direct messages

[heavy folio]

what do younot understans

[boreal ravine]

dms = your messages with someone

[solar anchor]

lol what

[tough lance]

Hi.

[obsidian ledge]

how many buttons can you put on a single message

[heavy folio]

25 i think

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown @leaden hollow

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.dynamic\_cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown, type=BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a dynamic cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

This differs from [`cooldown()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.cooldown "discord.ext.commands.cooldown") in that it takes a function that accepts a single parameter of type [`discord.Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") and must return a [`Cooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cooldown "discord.ext.commands.Cooldown") or `None`. If `None` is returned then that cooldown is effectively bypassed.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

Is there an alternative to guild.me.guild_permissions.send_messages for a specific channel?

make a function to convert it

[heavy folio]

what isnt working

what isnf working

[slate swan]

hm?

[slender pumice]

whats the problem?

getting any errors? send them here

[slate swan]

Im trying to get attachments from a message object, but it returns this error, and its vague to me.

InvalidDocument: cannot encode object```

code:
```py
        image = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=message_check(channel=ctx.author.dm_channel))
        link = re.findall('http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+]|[!*(),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+',image.content)
        if not link:
            raw_link = image.attachments[0].url
        else:
            raw_link = image.content```

what's the message_check variable

/function

which app can i use to host bots

[magic ore]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

checks whether the message send is from a specific channel

but thats not the issue

[vale wing]

What's the best way to fetch the full error traceback into string in on_command_error

[slim ibex]

you can make it send the error it self

EX:

async def on_command_error(context, error):
  if isinstance(error, MissingRequiredArgument):
    await context.send(error)

@staticmethod
async def error_embed(error) -> Embed:
  eEmbed = Embed(title=f"{error}", color=0xFF0000)
  return eEmbed

@classmethod
async def _on_command_error(cls, context, error) -> error_embed:
  if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
    eEmbed = await cls.error_embed(
       error
    )
    await context.send(embed=eEmbed)

In my case, I use an embed that actually shows the traceback/error in the same way

[vale wing]

@slim ibex I asked about traceback with a reason

[rapid walrus]

guys

im planning to make a card game
every turn the bot will wait for message from 2 player
if 2 player finish chosing their cards, then next turn will continue
i know there is a way to wait for a message but idk how to make it continue only if both 2 player sent a message (and there will be a timeout also)

[vale wing]

Wait for one then wait for another?

[rapid walrus]

no it wont work

[vale wing]

At the same time?

[rapid walrus]

how

😐

[vale wing]

You will have to wait_for twice anyway

[rapid walrus]

if just 1 person choose and the other don't it wont continue until both chose

[vale wing]

If you are waiting for message

[rapid walrus]

but how 😐

[vale wing]

Just call it twice and get 2 results lol?

[rapid walrus]

? wdym

[rapid walrus]

no it wont work cuz if player 2 sent message it wont wait for it

uhm the invite?

ok wait

[vale wing]

player1: discord.User
player2: discord.User
#just typedef don't mind

await ctx.send(f'{player1.mention} choose your card')
m1 = await bot.wait_for('on_message', check=lambda m: m.author.id == player1.id)
await ctx.send(f'{player2.mention} choose your card')
m2 = await bot.wait_for('on_message', check=lambda m: m.author.id == player2.id)```
@rapid walrus isn't this what you need

[rapid walrus]

no i have tried but wont work

[vale wing]

Why and were there any errors

!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.

[rapid walrus]

cuz it will wait for m1 first until m1 is sent, but not m2, if m2 send first, it won't do anything

[vale wing]

So you want it to be on the same time

[rapid walrus]

ye

` not ' maybe

[vale wing]

Then make the check be like

lambda m: m.author.id in (player1.id, player2.id)```
And handle it properly

You didn't add py at the start that's why

[rapid walrus]

ohH

[vale wing]

That's for the first

[rapid walrus]

i will try, thank you

[vale wing]

For the second you gotta wait for the one who didn't respond

[rapid walrus]

yea

[vale wing]

👏

[rapid walrus]

lol 🙂

lol :V

[vale wing]

Almost no time but what the issue is

Sorry gtg DM me so I can help you later or wait for another person to come

[slate swan]

My embeds are always so squashed, is there a command that sets my embed to maximum size?

not that I know of, no. discord embeds are automatically sized to fit content.

may you show an example of what "squashed" means?

[rapid walrus]

what do we do

[glad thicket]

Hey can anyone help me

I created a bot in discord.py

How do I read messages after the command is intieated(inside a COG)

Like if I put the command &cog and the question comes I want to give 30 secs to answer

How do I read the messages

ok 😔

Can anybody else help me

[spring flax]

!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**...

[glad thicket]

Thanks I will try this

How do i delete channel overrides for user that are independently added to the overrides?

You can edit the override for user as None

hey, how can i make changing statusses??? i.e. it will be changed every 5 seconds... etc.

[manic wing]

ratelimits:

[dire folio]

^

[devout iris]

where are docs?

[dire folio]

Do you know what a ratelimit is?

[manic wing]

ratelimits are left ambiguous so people dont go push the limits

[devout iris]

nope

[manic wing]

they also scale, therefore apply separately to each person

called dynamic ratelimiting

[devout iris]

is this cooldown?

or different

[dire folio]

It's different to a cool down

[devout iris]

ah alr i'm googling

[dire folio]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits#:~:text=All bots can make up,per second during normal operations.

idk anything about coding but i want to make a bot that records every message in a specified channel and instantly deletes it since i cant find one that exists already; can anybody help me scripting that?

[slate swan]

??

If you know nothing about coding making a discord bot is not a good idea

It's far from a beginner project

[karmic lintel]

I don't think so

U can send a max of 120 requests every min, so about two requests in a second before getting ratelimited... I don't really think he is gonna get rateimited, provided, he isn't doing much ws intensive work

[dire folio]

Well u can use dpy but a lot of people use disnake

[surreal sierra]

if I change my current bot to disnake do I have to change all the code also? or will it still work?

[dire folio]

replace every discord with disnake and it should work

[surreal sierra]

okay, thanks!

[devout iris]

how to connect and disconnect to voice channels?

[slate swan]

disnake has shims for discord

so you don't really need to replace anything

it should work OOTB

[final iron]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.connect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.connect

await connect(*, timeout=60.0, reconnect=True, cls=<class 'discord.voice_client.VoiceClient'>)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Connects to voice and creates a [`VoiceClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceClient "discord.VoiceClient") to establish your connection to the voice server.

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

[final iron]

And

Actually I have no idea how to disconnect

[maiden fable]

!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.

[tiny ibex]

How to check if the user has permissions to view a channel?

[slate swan]

use has_channel_permissions check with read_messages=True

oh , a user

[tiny ibex]

Yup

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.permissions_for you can get perms on user using this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.permissions\_for

permissions_for(obj, /)```
Handles permission resolution for the [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role").

This function takes into consideration the following cases...

[tiny ibex]

Tysm

[slender pumice]

maybe ur error handler is silencing the errors

k

[slate swan]

using @bot.command() async def move(ctx): await ctx.send('hui') should create a command and with the prefix bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$') $ i should be able to run it like $move, right?
bc for some reason it isnt working

nvm im wrong

[slender pumice]

these might help

[maiden fable]

No

The bot won't know in which guild u want the perms from

[jade bay]

How do I use an older version of dpy?

[dire folio]

Why would u want to do that

[jade bay]

Because I want to experiment with older versions

[honest shoal]

specify it in the command

[jade bay]

how?

[honest shoal]

the version which u want to use

pip install discord.py==1.7.3

[jade bay]

and now whenever I run my python file, it will use this version of dpy?

[dire folio]

Ye

[elder pike]

My bot just goes offline after like a minute after launching it could someone please look at my code?

Fixed it by using await asyncio.sleep() function

[potent spear]

1. you haven't even stated your problem
2. you can perfectly do admin_role = guild.get_role(id)

[normal jasper]

guys im trying to make a leader board for my economy but when i use the command i get this :

[normal jasper]

@client.command(aliases = ["lb"])
async def leaderboard(ctx,x = 1):
    users = await get_bank_data()
    leader_board = {}
    total = []
    for user in users:
        name = int(user)
        total_amount = users[user]["wallet"] + users[user]["bank"]
        leader_board[total_amount] = name
        total.append(total_amount)

    total = sorted(total,reverse=True)    

    em = discord.Embed(title = f"Top {x} Richest People" , description = "This is decided on the basis of raw money in the bank and wallet",color = random.randrange(0, 0xffffff))
    index = 1
    for amt in total:
        id_ = leader_board[amt]
        member = client.get_user(id_)
        name = member.name
        em.add_field(name = f"{index}. {name}" , value = f"{amt}",  inline = False)
        if index == x:
            break
        else:
            index += 1
    em.set_footer(icon_url = ctx.author.avatar_url,text =f"Requested By {ctx.author}")
    await ctx.send(embed = em)

[normal jasper]

how can i fix this ?

[native wedge]

how do i import Disnake on Repl.it

[flat solstice]

okay my self.config.test_accounts is a list of user ID's, is this correct for checking if the member.id is in that list? (This fires on member joins and removes

i don't think != is what I want bc that's not equal to but i just kind seem to remember what it should be

[potent spear]

member = client.get_user(id_)
your member is None, check your id_

[potent spear]

if member.id in self.config.test_accounts:

[flat solstice]

so since I want to see if the ID is not in the list i'd use if member.id not in self.config.test_accounts:?

[potent spear]

smart

[leaden hollow]

so I'm making a command which generates a random number x
then the commands waits for x seconds and sends the reply
I need to add a timeout for that x seconds so commands can't be stacked by the same user,no idea how to implement that

[potent spear]

you're looking for a cooldown

it's a decorator

[devout iris]

Is there anything we can distinguish whether the person joining the server is a bot or a user?

[leaden hollow]

I know how to work with cooldowns decorator

[potent spear]

if member.bot

[devout iris]

Ah thx :)

[potent spear]

well, you can set the buckettype to a user

[leaden hollow]

yes

[native wedge]

how do i make certain commands make it available to users who only have certain permissions?

[leaden hollow]

I know that,the issue is I can't figure how to have the same "random" number as a bot messages as well as a cooldown

[potent spear]

https://gist.github.com/Painezor/eb2519022cd2c907b56624105f94b190
line 19

[native wedge]

and that is with what library?

[potent spear]

dpy

[potent spear]

ok, I switched some names up, my bad
you need max_concurrency
check out the link above line 47

[frank tartan]

how can i make a command that shows me all the members in a sertain role?

[potent spear]

do you pass the role as a mention to the command?

[frank tartan]

????

[potent spear]

?giverolemembers @roleshit

[frank tartan]

they give the role name

[potent spear]

the argument can be simply typehinted to a role

then you can do role.members to get all the members of that role

async def give_role_members(ctx, role: discord.Role):

[leaden hollow]

so it's kinda a complex issue,i don't exactly know how to explain it

[frank tartan]

role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name=roleName)
role2 = role.members```
like this?

[potent spear]

if you typehint the argument in the command, it'll automatically convert to that role

[frank tartan]

ok nice...

but is it correct

[potent spear]

you just want to only run that command once per user in parallel...
I get it

[leaden hollow]

I want the cooldown to be a "random number" which will be generated(most probably) when the command is run

that's the main thing

[potent spear]

well, you can just add a sleep at the end, that'll just make sure the command isn't running twice by the same user while the previous one isn't done yet

[leaden hollow]

commands.group(description='',invoke_without_command=True)
    @commands.cooldown(1,z, commands.BucketType.user)
    async def test(self, ctx):
        z = rand()
        await ctx.send(whatever)
        await asyncio.sleep(z)
        await ctx.send(f"Stopped at {z}sec")```

this is my current code

[potent spear]

I said max_concurrency

[frank tartan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'member' is not defined
i get that error

[potent spear]

that's a very english error

[frank tartan]

but idk how to fix...

[potent spear]

you can just do ctx.guild...

no need for the member

unless it's in an event, then you don't have ctx

[limpid thicket]

So simple yet so confusing..

checkEmbed = discord.Embed(description="**Searching** for username...", color=green)
checkEmbed.set_footer(text=f"Command executed by • {author.name}")
checkMsg = await ctx.send(embed=checkEmbed)
```Error I'm getting is:

ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs)
15.01 13:52:05 [Bot] File "/bot.py", line 1330, in discord
15.01 13:52:05 [Bot] checkEmbed = discord.Embed(description="Searching for username...", color=green)
15.01 13:52:05 [Bot] AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'Embed'

[potent spear]

check your imports

[frank tartan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'member' is not defined

role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.role.members, name=roleName)

[potent spear]

is this in a command or an event?

[frank tartan]

command

[limpid thicket]

I've got bothimport discord and from discord.ext import commands, tasks

[potent spear]

as mentioned earlier, just do ctx.guild

[frank tartan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Guild' object has no attribute 'role'
i get this error when i do that

[potent spear]

check the line where the error gets thrown, or just debug for a sec

[potent spear]

will you start listening to what I say?

[potent spear]

.

[frank tartan]

😦 i am trying too

[slender pumice]

what r u trying to do

[limpid thicket]

Can I just finish this, 1 moment.

[limpid thicket]

Are you using this in an event, command what?

[potent spear]

he doesn't understand the concept of typehinting which will convert the argument to a role object...
instead of "manually converting" it

[frank tartan]

command

[leaden hollow]

fixed the code,it's working,Thanks

[limpid thicket]

And you want to display all the members who have a specific role yes?

[frank tartan]

i do. its just that i just emojis instead of pinging roles, so i convert the emoji to a rolename

[potent spear]

so let's say 😄 is equal to roleA or what?

[frank tartan]

ok... lets just forget the emoji part, and imagine that they do

!members staff or something like that

[potent spear]

yup, and staff is the name of your role

command would look like

async def members(ctx, role: discord.Role):

[harsh stump]

Hi, how do i start programming bots? I was thinking I want to do smth with apis

[frank tartan]

it wouldnt be that

[flat solstice]

So I have this colour of deepskyblue 00bfff but my embeds don't seem to like the code, anyone able to tell me why

[slender pumice]

then what

[frank tartan]

async def members(ctx, emoji=None):
it would be this
or
async def members(ctx, name=None:

[slender pumice]

0x00bfff

[native wedge]

i made my bot so it replies to messages with a certain word in em, how do i make the bot react to the message with the provided word? message.react?

[limpid thicket]

0x00bfff

[potent spear]

there are libraries which simply are API wrappers to make it easier for devs...

[slender pumice]

role: discord.Roles makes it easier to handle

[harsh stump]

but I didnt do this before so I want to know where to start

[slender pumice]

the role arg can be name or id in this case

[frank tartan]

nice... but i dont want it like that

[potent spear]

in the documentary of these python libraries

they contain examples etc

[flat solstice]

@slender pumice and @limpid thicket thanks for the help 👍

[slender pumice]

np

@frank tartan what r u trying to do

i just joined the chat so can u explain it to me

[frank tartan]

make a members command. so you can do

!members staff

and the bot will respond with everyone that has the staff role

[cloud dawn]

[member.name for member in role.members]

[slender pumice]

then why dont u wanna use role: discord.Role

[frank tartan]

i dont want to explain again

[limpid thicket]

discord.Role can be passed as a mention, id, or name so use the method which the users in the chat are providing (discord.Role parameter in command)

[spring flax]

what do you think is the best way to make a modmail bot? Like through a DM channel, a thread, or through a channel

[frank tartan]

prob dm

[limpid thicket]

You asked for the name, so it should work.

[frank tartan]

im confused

[cloud dawn]

If you pass a role or set a default one you should use this.

[frank tartan]

still confused

[cloud dawn]

Do recommend some kind of line paginator like the Python bot

[vale wing]

How to get full error traceback into the string in on_command_error (and notice I am not asking to explain me the error handler or how to raise an error, alr know that)

[cloud dawn]

var = error

[vale wing]

How to get its traceback

Into the string

Without raising it

[frank tartan]

but like what do i do with this???

[slender pumice]

then whats the problem with

async def members(ctx, role: discord.Role):
  embed = discord.Embed(title="title", description = "description")
  for member in role.members:
    #do stuff maybe add them to a list or add them as an embed field
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[cloud dawn]

dir the exception arg

See what is in it.

[vale wing]

Ok

[limpid thicket]

End of conversation lol?

@client.command()
async def hasrole(ctx, role: discord.Role = None):
  if role is None:
    await ctx.send("Please specify a role.")
  else:
    if len(role.members) < 1:
      await ctx.send("There are no members with this role.")
    else:
      memberslist = ""
      for member in role.members:
        memberslist += f"- {member.name}#{member.discriminator}\n"
      await ctx.send(f"Members with this role:\n\n{memberslist}")

@hasrole.error()
async def hasrole_error(ctx: commands.Context, error: commands.CommandError):
  if isinstance(error, commands.RoleNotFound):
    await ctx.send("Role not found.")

[cloud dawn]

It has no command decorator.

[slender pumice]

lol i was suggesting code

[cloud dawn]

😂

[flat solstice]

If I want my bot to mention a category do I need to call get_category or get_channel?

[native wedge]

how do i make a bot react to a message?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[limpid thicket]

message.add_reaction()

[vale wing]

@cloud dawn got these

[cloud dawn]

.mention

[limpid thicket]

Parameter is the emoji.

[vale wing]

Seems like __traceback__ is empty

[cloud dawn]

What about printing, error._traceback_

[vale wing]

Already did look at code

It is None

[flat solstice]

oh yeah ik i'd need to .mention to mention it but first I need it to be a category object (I think that's the right term)

[native wedge]

would this work?

[vale wing]

There must be a way to get it

[cloud dawn]

Yeah but you could also just use the ID with [#discord-bots](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/343944376055103488/)

Discord will format that into a mention

[vale wing]

It is most likely fetched with external library

[flat solstice]

true, but don't mentions like that visually break somtimes?

[cloud dawn]

No unless you put them in an embed.

[cloud dawn]

What about this hacky trick

[flat solstice]

well it will be in a embed, but I'll do this for now. if I find a different way i'll try it then

[cloud dawn]

try:
    raise error
except Exception as e:
    await ctx.send(e)

[frank tartan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'member' referenced before assignment

[vale wing]

I need the full traceback

There's no point in this "trick", it is just raising an exception and catching itself lol

[native wedge]

ok i made my bot react with normal emojis, how do i use custom emojis?

[spring flax]

Dropdown menus don't have default timeout right

[vale wing]

You may bot.get_emoji by id

[cloud dawn]

Then idk i don't get errors in my bot only when debugging.

[vale wing]

I actually just need it to send the traceback to a private channel, but I need traceback and not the handler, people suggested me the handlers today lmao

[cloud dawn]

Well it's better to handle them rather than just sending a traceback. I use the logging module if something serious goes down.

[vale wing]

Handler is for users, traceback is for developers

As of my logic

[cloud dawn]

I just have a log and if it isn't serious i got my console.

[native wedge]

so i do?
laugh_emoji = bot.get_emoji(id)

[vale wing]

I have the handler for users and it works fine, but I am too lazy to connect to the VPS

[cloud dawn]

That only takes like 2 seconds lmao

[vale wing]

I have the commands for bot to automatically update without me needing to connect to the server and execute commands, so I want to send it tracebacks to the private channels so I don't have to open VPS at all

[cloud dawn]

On fatal crashes it wouldn't even send you the traceback

[vale wing]

We never get fatal crashes (doesn't mean we can't but the chance is really low)

[cloud dawn]

But never 0 😛

[vale wing]

Btw about chances

I made a function for like "chances selection", but it is sometimes smoking grass and returning None, I wonder what have I missed in it

[fading dirge]

does anyone know how can I make embed message with this reactions?

[native wedge]

my bot doesnt work anymore it says i made too many api requests

[native wedge]

how do i prevent this from happening again

[vale wing]

Forgor

!e

from typing import Any

    range_dict = {}
    current_point = 0

        if num in i:

[vale wing]

Works fine but sometimes this returns None

What could be a reason for this

[vale wing]

You probably have the while loop somewhere

Somewhere in a bad place*

[native wedge]

where can i share big amounts of code for discord py

[vale wing]

These are buttons with emojis set

[upbeat otter]

welp

[vale wing]

You can use pastebin, use collaboration session for VSC, post it to gihub and open access to certain people there are many ways

[native wedge]

@vale wing

[vale wing]

Oh no

Don't do commands like this for god's sake

[upbeat otter]

freecodecamp-

[vale wing]

There's a decorator

[native wedge]

what does that mean

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command simpliest implementation

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command

@command(*args, **kwargs)```
A shortcut decorator that invokes [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.command "discord.ext.commands.command") and adds it to the internal command list via [`add_command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.add_command "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.add_command").

[upbeat otter]

and use discord.ext.commands.Bot instead of discord.Client

[native wedge]

ok

[vale wing]

@bot.command()
async def somenicecommand(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f'Hi')```

[native wedge]

ohh i understand why i got api blocked

its cause the event is looking like every second for commands thats why?

[vale wing]

Nope

The event is something about websockets and gateway, dunno about that very much

But actually discord sends the events to you

[native wedge]

what guide/tutorial should I use for learning then?

i dont know what guides are good or bad sorry

nextcord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

[cloud dawn]

I suggest using typing List instead of a list object.

[pliant gulch]

And why is that exactly

[cloud dawn]

Because i think it looks better, and typing does a better job documenting it.

[slate swan]

How do I write on it?```py
blacklist[str("profile")]["blacklisted"] = "true"

                                with open(f"./data/users/{member.id}.json", "r") as f:
                                    user = json.load(f)

                                blacklist[str("profile")]["blacklisted"] = "true"

                                with open(f"./data/users/{member.id}.json", "w") as f:
                                    json.dump(blacklist, f, indent=4)

[pliant gulch]

I've import annotations from __future__ so all annotations are strings either way. And in future version of python it will be like list[] dict[] etc

All the type checkers so far are supporting this as well, no brainer

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py

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

[pliant gulch]

Alright sounds, good def something I will be adding

If you didn't know as well I'm rewriting Lefi so now it's a whole different code base

😔

[cloud dawn]

I'm still writing my slash bot :3

[slate swan]

Hm..

[cloud dawn]

Thinking about things to add, i'm currently making a nice wrapper for postgre

[tacit token]

whats wrong with u ?

[slate swan]

Can someone help with it? ^^

[pliant gulch]

Nice, I'm gonna remove vanilla chat commands and keep the wrapper purest in form

[blissful bone]

join code help

1

[slate swan]

nope

It's over 100.000 chars

@-@

[blissful bone]

ur trying to create a blacklist system correct

[cloud dawn]

I'm hoping this time my bot can survive a bit longer. I was kinda annoyed by the fact discord.py stopped and the whole message intents things. Now trying to make the bot without any intents (as much as possible).

[tacit token]

so, anybody?

[slate swan]

{
  "profile": {
    "moderator": "false",
    "blacklisted": "false"
  }
}

[blissful bone]

syntax it correctly and show only the problem not the whole code

[blissful bone]

so what are u attempting to do

thats where im confused

[slate swan]

set false to true -.-

[blissful bone]

ohhhhh

[cloud dawn]

Most of use don't really like helping with json as a database.

[slate swan]

I don't want to use a database

[blissful bone]

user the replace for that

use

hold on lemme find it

[cloud dawn]

9/10 reasons is because people don't want to learn it. SQL makes your life so much easier.

[slate swan]

ah

[blissful bone]

 promt_1 = promts["1"].replace("__USER__", f"<@{ctx.message.author.id}>")

[slate swan]

@blissful bone found the problem

[blissful bone]

this is what i used for my ticket bot

[slate swan]

user = json...
blacklist i tried to get -.-

[blissful bone]

lol it happens dont worry

[tacit token]

what?

[cloud dawn]

ctx.message.author.mention is a thing.

[cloud dawn]

promt_1 = promts["1"].replace("__USER__", ctx.author.mention)
``` same code

[blissful bone]

i was giving an example

for replace

Anyone know how to install the pillow package? I tried the thing from https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html but i just get failed to install

[cloud dawn]

That's where i was then i went to installation but i just get failed to install

[silent ermine]

Hey uhm , how do I give a user a role?

So far i got this: py guild = ctx.guild role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name=d2ndQuestion) member = str(applicationID) await member.add_roles(role, reason="Application accepted")

[cloud dawn]

tb?

[silent ermine]

applicationID is a user btw

[shy elm]

This one works

[shy elm]

Nvm doesn't work. It installed but i still get no module "Image" on my import Image

[cloud dawn]

Well it's Pillow not Image

[cloud dawn]

from PIL import Image

https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/Image.html#examples

[shy elm]

Shit they switched it then?

[cloud dawn]

Always has been this way.

[slate swan]

how do i make the bot embed colour be random?

ive done it before but forgot how to.

[shy elm]

Use to be import image...

[slate swan]

there was a specific keyword i used which made it unnecessary to get a colour array

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Colour.random

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour.random

classmethod random(*, seed=None)```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour") with a random hue.

Note

The random algorithm works by choosing a colour with a random hue but with maxed out saturation and value.

[arctic eagle]

Hello,
I am doing a bot with discord.py and I am using a class Name(commands.Cog): ... and i would like to know how i can in this class create a new object from a "subclass" class Type(?) in which I can await to send new messages in the channel.
Example :

class Type(?):
  def __init__(self, channel, smthg):
    ...
  
  ???
  async def print(self):
    await self.channel.send("Test")

class Name(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, bot):
    self.bot = bot
    self.obj = Type(channel, ?)
  
  @commands.command()
  async def test_print(self):
    await self.obj.print()

[mighty dust]

how do i make my bot send a DM to the person i mention?

async def on_message(self, message):
    for member in message.mentions:
        await member.send('Hi')

this is not working

[potent spear]

if it's "not working" there are 2 options

1. your event never gets triggered
2. you have an error handler which isn't showing the error

[potent spear]

you don't have to subclass anything...

[polar reef]

I need discord.py documentation commands 😦

[mighty dust]

its saying there is no attribute mentions in message

but stackoevrflow says there is

O_o

[potent spear]

show me the full error traceback

[potent spear]

the docs should be your source

[mighty dust]

ah alr

[arctic eagle]

i know that i don't have to but i want to do that to have many subclass to create many type of object in this class

[potent spear]

can you try to describe in 1 sentence what the goal of that class is?

there's not really a need for you to store this as a class... you can perfectly store it as a dict
with the key being the channel_id and the value whatever you like

[arctic eagle]

my big class is Game and I want to create some subclass for different game and each subclass have the same methods name

[potent spear]

yeah, there's not really a need for a class for each game, you can just store the progress in a db or whatever

[arctic eagle]

for example obj.new, obj.turn, obj.win ...

yes but i want to have many instance of the same class fo example if there are 2 games ( match ? ) of the same type

[potent spear]

well, make a subclass for every type of game, there aren't that many, right?

your "game" class doesn't need to be subclassed ofc, since it's your superclass

that should be an interface / abstract class

[storm fable]

Hey, i want to make an error if a user hasn't enough permissions, but this doesn't work. I use cogs, but i think it should works anyway.

[potent spear]

always handle the other errors too
else:
chances are, there's an error which you just "hide" because you don't handle it

[slate swan]

Well, it's not error, ctx, but ctx, error.

[storm fable]

oh now its working fine. thanks a lot!

[slate swan]

[dire folio]

How would I put in a date and time and I would get a timestamp back

[slate swan]

!e

from datetime import datetime

date_str = "01/01/22 05:34:19"

date_obj = datetime.strptime(date_str, '%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S')

print(date_obj.timestamp())

[unkempt canyon]

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

Depending on how you have the date as string you will need to use some other things in the strptime method.

Here you can see what to use.

And also compare to those I used.

yo guys

something really cool i added to my bot that u should try out

u know how if u have three of ` b4 and after ur message

it pulls up this thing

ya so i made my bot acc run any code that the user puts and sends any printer output to the channel

it makes for a rlly cool python scratchpad

[median gale]

what vscode theme is this it looks really cool

[final iron]

Is it open to the public?

[slate swan]

oh right, it's snekbox

it doesn't run with eval()

[median gale]

wot is?

[final iron]

Yeah

u want code?

I wouldn't suggest it

You most likely saw their idea and used it

theoretically, but their kinda incompetent so im not worried

[median gale]

no fr i thought i was the first one to do it

[final iron]

You're definitely not

[median gale]

man that sucks

[slate swan]

okay, move on

stop cluttering chat

[wicked atlas]

That's not to say you can't try to make your own though

It's good learning experience

[median gale]

true

[rugged steeple]

Also, you'll need to allocate permissions to the bot, so they dont f*** with it; like accidentally deleting files, data overflow, infinite loops, and prevent realtime response. (A while loop that prints every sec, for example).

is making a reaction based or command based ticket system better?

[vale wing]

Button based

Jk that's up to you, although users like easier interface which is reactions and buttons

[storm fable]

I use pycharm, there's called "Vuesion Theme"

[median gale]

thanks

[slate swan]

I have a ticket system and this is the full file https://mystb.in/ChainContinuingTabs.python but then i got this error and when i went and pressed the reaction it didnt make a new channel anymore. Like whenever I deleted the txt file and did everything over again it worked fine but when I reran the bot again, it gave me the same error

Can someone help

[potent spear]

error explains itself: you're trying to get a key from your ticket_configs which doesn't exist

[slate swan]

It does

It’s this file

[potent spear]

it does not
2 options
A. you deleted it
B. you key is saved as a string and you pass an int or vice versa

why don't you use json for this?

[slate swan]

Cuz I watched a tutorial on it

[potent spear]

yt tutorials suck mostly if we're talking about these libraries

they're too concrete or implement bad methods which you can blindly copy paste thinking "if it works, I'm fine with it"

[slate swan]

Concrete?

[potent spear]

Like they only talk about what they need, chances are, you need something different which just messes the rest up

Greatest example is: they use json as a db

[slate swan]

Oh

[potent spear]

Or even worse in your example: a txt file

[slate swan]

Yeah I realized that

[slim ibex]

json as a db 😬

[kindred epoch]

that idea has been out there for years now

[full lily]

any code?

[manic wing]

hehehehehehheheehe

ill test that command if you want

[rare saddle]

Guys, please tell me why you need it - GUILD MEMBERS INTENT

And - GUILD PRESENCES INTENT

And what is the difference between them?

[pliant gulch]

You can think of intents as a sort of flag, the flag tells the gateway what to send to the client. In the case of having Member intents the guild will send data corresponding to Members, and in the case of Presence intents it will send back data corresponding to Presences. Without them you would not receive the data.

[rare saddle]

GUILD MEMBERS INTENT - it's: teg, avatar, name etc?

[pliant gulch]

?? What

[rare saddle]

I wanted to ask that I can get the listed member information?

[pliant gulch]

Its, everything

No member intent, no member data

No presence intent, no presence data

Not even any partial data

[rare saddle]

thanks you so much

[native wedge]

how do i make my global error handler send errors in the server?

[final iron]

You would fetch the channel and then send the errors

[craggy cloak]

You need to update python with pip install discord --upgrade pip discord right?

[leaden chasm]

[final iron]

Line 22

You're missing a parenthesis

[leaden chasm]

oh

ty

i'm tired and not concentrating appreciate u

[final iron]

So I've recently learnt that I should keep my database connection open all the time instead of opening and closing it each time

I understand that I need a function in my main file connecting to my database

I've added that but, now what?

[leaden chasm]

by any chance does anyone know how to get your token hidden (replit)

[final iron]

https://docs.replit.com/archive/secret-keys

[final iron]

(Continuing on this thread) How would I execute things in my database?

I have no idea what I'm doing in this department

[native wedge]

put in key TOKEN
put in value your token

and then do py bot.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

[leaden chasm]

ty

[quaint epoch]

😅

I don't do that

[native wedge]

that will make your token isnt public on repl.it

[final iron]

[native wedge]

why doesnt it send the reason for the error not sending in the channels?

[final iron]

Your setup function is indented too far

It shouldn't be indented

[native wedge]

like that?

[final iron]

I can't see the indentation but probably

[final iron]

Should work

[native wedge]

it only sends here

[final iron]

Is anything sent at all?

This should be working unless I'm blind

[leaden chasm]

it gave me an error i even imported os

[final iron]

Whats the error?

[leaden chasm]

nvm i know the error

im using client not bot

yeah this error

[final iron]

Did you even read the error?

[leaden chasm]

improper token

my token is vaild tho

[final iron]

Print your token and visually compare it to what discord gives you

So I figured out how to keep my connection open

Would I still have to commit the data I wrote every single time?

[limpid thicket]

Hello, I want my subcommand to be called async def discord(ctx, username = None):
Issue is, I can't reference any objects with discord in it now.
And discord.Embed now doesn't work, any work arounds?

[visual island]

just use the name kwarg at the @command() decorator

and change your function name to anything

[limpid thicket]

Oh like you mean like alias?

Oh I see, thanks.

And name would take priority yes?

[visual island]

yes

[magic ore]

yes

Oh man this feels pretty convoluted

Gonna need to unpack but then it gets harder from there

[flat solstice]

If I want to get the value of a field in a embed I would do something like this right? where the [0] next to fields is the number of the field I am looking forpy message.embeds[0].fields[0].value

[quaint epoch]

I don't think that's how dicts work

[slim ibex]

what are you even trying to do

[final iron]

Why do you need to get the data of an embed?

[flat solstice]

It's complicated and I'm too tired to explain it but basically I'm making a task event which checks channel A for any msgs containing specific words (Warn, Ban, Mute, Kick) and if it finds a msg with that in the msg embed title then it constructs a embed with the values of the first embed and sends this second embed to channel B.

@final iron @slim ibex @quaint epoch

And this is what I have so farpy @tasks.loop(minutes = 60) async def moderation_logs(self): key_words = ["WARN", "MUTE", "UNMUTE", "KICK", "BAN", "UNBAN"] checked_logs = [] # A list of ID's of the messages the bot has checked, Probbabrbly should be written to my DB case_count = 0 # A incrementing number for the moderation case's, will be written to my DB moderation = self.bot.get_channel(id = 885569667861717042) # The channel it is sending the new msg to clifford_log = self.bot.get_channel(id = 500768218257031168) # The channel it is searching with moderation.channel.typing(): messages = await clifford_log.channel.history(limit = 10000)#.flatten() for message in messages[0:]: # Making the bot search through the messages chronologically (I think) if message.id not in checked_logs: if message.author.id == 776782769312628746: # Checking the message author is my other bot which is causing me to make this lenghty workaround if len(message.embeds) > 0: if key_words in message.embeds[0].title: # Checking in my keywords are in the retrived embed title, I want it to make a count of how many times it finds each word and I'm thinking a dict would be good but I'm not too sure how to go about that rn embed = discord.Embed(title = f"Case {case_number} | {action}", colour = self.bot.config.error_colour, timestamp = message.timestamp) embed.set_author(name = f"{message.embeds[0].fields[0].value} | {message.embeds[0].fields[0].value.id}", icon_url = message.embeds[0].fields[0].value.avatar_url) embed.set_footer(text = f"{message.embeds[0].fields[1].value} | {message.embeds[0].fields[1].value.id}", icon_url = {message.embeds[0].fields[1].value.avatar_url}) embed.add_field(name = "Offender", value = message.embeds[0].fields[0].value, inline = True) embed.add_field(name = "Moderator", value = message.embeds[0].fields[1].value, inline = True) if message.embeds[0].fields[3]: # The 4th field of the original embed doesn't always appear so i'm accounting for that embed.add_field(name = "Duration", value = message.embeds[0].fields[3].value) embed.add_field(name = "Reason", value = message.embeds[0].fields[2].value) checked_logs.append(message.id) # Writting the ID of the latest checked msg to a list so it knows not to check this again await moderation.send(embed = embed)

[quaint epoch]

Maybe read the docs or convert the embed to a dict to test it, Idk

I'm not sure how to work with that

[flat solstice]

i'm like 60% sure it'll work, I just need to make sure I have all the logic sound and that I am pulling all of the values correctly, even if their not in the correct places i'll still count it as a win

[pliant gulch]

Some cool stuff possible with collectors 😎

[potent spear]

you mean "other python libraries?"

nice letter

username checks out

[jade jolt]

heh its true

[glad thicket]

My question is this when you get all of the items in a collection in mongodb using pymongo What kind of list will you get

import pymongo
client = pymongo.MongoClient('URL')
db = client.db
collection = db.collection
document = list(collection.find({})

The database is like this

{
  "_id": {
    "$oid": "ID"
  },
  "question": "question",
  "answer": "answer"
}

Can anyone tell me how the list is going to be like

this is for a discord bot

NeverMind I already Got the answer

[{'_id': ObjectId('ID'), 'question': 'question', 'answer': 'answer'}]

[green bluff]

breh

im literally so bad at coding

[wicked atlas]

Make sure your bot has permissions to add roles

also, ctx.send() should be awaited

[green bluff]

oh yes i forgot also my bot has admin

perms

[wicked atlas]

can you send the full error traceback?

[green bluff]

ye nah i figuired it out its just that the bots role was below the muted role

im just bad at coding lol

Hey can anyone answer my simple question

I created an embed command that will make an embed like &embed Hello "This is it" FFFFFF

But when I tried to put in a nitro animated sticker it justs shows the text of the emoji

[slate swan]

sticker , or emoji?

[vocal plover]

Where are you putting the emoji, in the title?

[glad thicket]

well no the description

[slate swan]

titles can now show custom emojis iirc

[glad thicket]

like :arrow:

[vocal plover]

Does the bot share a server with the emoji?

[glad thicket]

yes

[boreal osprey]

@bot.command()
async def help(ctx):
    emb=discord.Embed(title = "Help commands", color = discord.Colour.random())
    emb.add_field(name = "List of command types", value = "fun, moderation", inline = False)
    await ctx.send(embed=emb)


    if "fun" in message.content:
        e=discord.Embed(title = "fun commands", description = "insert commands", color = discord.Colour.random())
        await message.send(embed=e)

can someone show me what im supposed to do

[glad thicket]

emoji

[glad thicket]

like this one and more

[vocal plover]

Those are the only reasons it would break, unless your command modifies the text in some way, since embed descriptions should handle emojis from mutual servers fine

[slate swan]

Use the escaped name of the emoji and make sure that the bot is in the server the emoji is from , escaped name can be get from using \:emoji\:

[heavy folio]

wdym what your supposed to do

also subclass HelpCommand, not remove it

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

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

Note

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

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

[covert otter]

I recently reorganised my code for my discord bot, and the cogs aren't in a child directory anymore but in a parent directory. I have tried things like:

for filename in os.listdir("./cogs/CogFolder"):
    if filename.endswith(".py"):
        client.load_extension(f'CogFolder.{filename[:-3]}')```

What am I doing wrong?

[heavy folio]

show your dir

[slate swan]

you need to load them as cogs.CogFolder.{filename[::-3]}

hello, how would i get my discord bot to read a status and give a role. for example, i put /myserver in my status and the bot will apply roles to the user

[potent spear]

you'll need the on_member_update event for this

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity: Optional[Union[discord.activity.Activity, discord.activity.Game, discord.activity.CustomActivity, discord.activity.Streaming, discord.activity.Spotify]]```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information.

Note

A user may have multiple activities, these can be accessed under [`activities`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.activities "discord.Member.activities").

[sonic gale]

oh

that helped. i just need a general idea

[slate swan]

use this in on_member_update , check the activity.name , it will return an str form of the user's status

My wifi oof

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.security.automod' raised an error: AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'os' ://

[glad thicket]

So your saying is that when someone types in the emoji then replace the :: with \: \:

[slate swan]

Could you show the code

[glad thicket]

inside the code

[covert otter]

for filename in os.listdir("./cogs/CogFolder"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f'cogs.CogFolder.{filename[:-3]}')

[slate swan]

That was just a markdown error from my side , try getting the long name of emoji by using \ before the emoji and copy paste that long text with id in your code for the emoji

[slate swan]

Did you do os.os somewhere?

[covert otter]

No :c

[slate swan]

@quaint epoch You can have member.guild_permissions , or channel.permissions_for(member)

[quaint epoch]

alr

[slate swan]

show your imports

[quaint epoch]

thanks lol

hey, could someone help me with these errors? I got the same code from an older bot and it works fine there. I have the code for the bot shared up in different files also

[native wedge]

Using cogs i can seperate commands into groups right?

[sweet pilot]

yeah

[slate swan]

And the os.os?

[slate swan]

aliases = ["alias 1"] , not a single string

[surreal sierra]

u are kidding me... I forgot the Square brackets on aliases, sorry it was a dumb mistake

its working now tho, ty

[covert otter]

I don't know, but I don't think so

lol, sot pretty bad, sorry xd

[slate swan]

You can just ctrl+f and search for os.os to check if it's there in most of the ides

[covert otter]

I already searched and there is not

[slate swan]

That's weird ,. Cause that is what the error says , show the imports in the cog

[potent spear]

even when the bot restarts?

[pine crown]

no

i want to make a mod log

thing

[potent spear]

just create a botvariable which stores the data based on the user id

[pine crown]

so when they kick or unban or ban it will be sent there

[potent spear]

that's just an argument...

Ups, wrong reply

[covert otter]

.

[potent spear]

any chances you have a file named os? lol

[covert otter]

no

[pine crown]

how to make a commands logging system>

so

they sent a command like /kick

then once the user is kicked it will send the output in a channel that the server owner set the channel id to

[final iron]

You would create a database

With the channel id

Then just get the id, fetch the channel and send the message

With a little trickery you can make a cog specific check so whenever a command in the cog is used it will log it

[pine crown]

how to create a database

[final iron]

Is this going to be available to every server the bot is in or just yours?

[pine crown]

every server the bot is in

and they will set the channel id

[final iron]

Yeah, you would need a database

I don't know anything about the pros and cons of the different db's but I use sqlite3 and its dead simple

[pine crown]

can you help

[final iron]

With what?

[pine crown]

with making the mod log

im struggling

[dawn elbow]

hey guys

i like python

[pine crown]

cool

[final iron]

I can help with ideas on how to do it and errors you encounter but I'm not going to spoonfeed you code

[pine crown]

yes

[final iron]

With which part specifically

[pine crown]

in making it

how do i use the sqlite

[final iron]

https://sqlbolt.com/

A really nice interactive website to help you learn

Its dead simple and you'll most likely pick it up in 1-5 days

But no guarantees

[pine crown]

do you know how to use mongodb?

[final iron]

Nope

[pine crown]

wait i found that there is module for sqlite

[slim ibex]

yes

[final iron]

You wouldn't want to use the built in lib

Its blocking

[slim ibex]

aiosqlite

[final iron]

!pypi aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.17.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[final iron]

You would want to use this

[cloud dawn]

!pypi asyncpg

[unkempt canyon]

asyncpg v0.25.0

An asyncio PostgreSQL driver

[cloud dawn]

:3

[slim ibex]

asyncpg is for Postgres

[pine crown]

hjmm

[slate swan]

Oh , can you send the complete traceback ( error message) you got

!paste it would be long so consider using this

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[maiden fable]

Yea, but u saying to pass in a user, which is wrong (as long as u ain't referring to Member as User)

[slate swan]

Hey

Is it possible to use a file as argument

In discord.py

[boreal ravine]

pep8 hahaha

[boreal ravine]

nope arguments can only be executed within the command (!test 1 2 3)

[pliant gulch]

Just take in a str as the file's name

then open a file pointer with the name

[slate swan]

I am talking abt file atachment

Lika ataching the file and uploading it to specific directory

[pliant gulch]

Just read the message's attachments

E.g Message.attachments

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message.

emb.add_field(name = f'roles ({len(roles)})', value= " ".join([role.mention for role in roles]), inline = False) are you sure roles contains something?

also, I'm not sure on the last line if value can be a boolean

[boreal osprey]

wdym by if the role contains something

[potent spear]

make sure the list is not empty

[cloud dawn]

field 5 == ```
emb.add_field(name="server join date", value=member.joined_at.strftime("%a, %#d %B %Y, %I:%M %p UTC"), inline = False)

Joined at states

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC that the member joined the guild. If the member left and rejoined the guild, this will be the latest date. In certain cases, this can be None.

None == empty

[potent spear]

aight, I just miscounted the field woops

[boreal osprey]

i think im to stupid to understand what im supposed to do

[potent spear]

anyways, you should add checks before adding certain fields I guess

[boreal osprey]

ah
