[cloud dawn]

You should use a for loop anyways this is very messy.

[potent spear]

agreed

[cloud dawn]

Or better syntax add some new lines, shorter lines

We don't do that here.

[boreal osprey]

also uh, my intellisense on vs code is not working, is there a fix for that

[potent spear]

for example

if member == None:
   member = ctx.author```
is basically
`member = member or ctx.author`

[final iron]

Send your code and question here

[potent spear]

there's no intellisense for this lib 🤔

[boreal osprey]

wait what, it did before

[potent spear]

maybe small bits, not all

[boreal osprey]

it had for it, but it doesn't work for me

[maiden fable]

Actually u counted them correct

What if the member has only one role? Then the roles variable will be an empty list

[potent spear]

yeah, thought it was zero based 🤔

[boreal osprey]

if they only have one role, then it still shows

[maiden fable]

Cz it is haha

[maiden fable]

Your slicing means to start from the second element, but what if the list only has one element?

[boreal osprey]

then it shows that role

but if it has no role then it's a empty list

and it doesn't work

[maiden fable]

And that's when the value is nothing

U should instead do value=[<your list comprehension>] or "No Roles"]

[boreal osprey]

im no professional at coding :((

but the role i can do

welp

[maiden fable]

    emb.add_field(name = f'roles ({len(roles)})', value= " ".join([role.mention for role in roles]) or "No Roles", inline = False)

[pliant gulch]

    if member == None:
        member = ctx.author

    roles = [role for role in member.roles][1:]
``` these two lines can be done better

member = member or ctx.author like Sniper already mentioned

and just do members.roles[1:]

No need to rebuild the entire list

[maiden fable]

Yea that too

[pliant gulch]

Hunter I added something cool to my rewrite wrapper!

[maiden fable]

O, what's that?

[slate swan]

collectors?

[pliant gulch]

Imagine using collectors with anti-raid stuff, like if a large amount of members join

that's gonna be amazing

[maiden fable]

So, in built anti raid system support?

[pliant gulch]

no

It's just a regular listener that waits for the event to be dispatched X amount of times

then it dispatches to the collector with all the data from each event

A collector

[maiden fable]

Ah

that's some advanced stuff, but good going!

[pliant gulch]

It was just a simple asyncio.Queue

😔

[maiden fable]

Well I never used asyncio as much

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.Member.move_to

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.move\_to

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

Moves a member to a new voice channel (they must be connected first).

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.edit "discord.Member.edit").

Changed in version 1.1: Can now pass `None` to kick a member from voice.

[maiden fable]

Also since am kinda learning JS (svelte) nowadays, sooo

[mossy warren]

do you use pyautogui to make discord bots?

[maiden fable]

No

Btw @pliant gulch take a look at this, was posted in disnake server

[pliant gulch]

Seen it already

He also said something about pycord which made them really made lmao

I don't see how you can say "in the long run we wont be "just a fork" when your project is quite literally a fork

I'd take it seriously if they rewrite the entire code base

[maiden fable]

Eh, ik... All the forks are just copy pastes, but people use them since no one has any other option cz only a handful of people (excluding me) are willing to change their code to comply with other wrappers

[pliant gulch]

The problem isn't forks, it's the statement they made, as a LITERAL fork

[maiden fable]

😂my man drank too much, being happy to get to maintain a proper wrapper lib

[pliant gulch]

Most of the pycord commits just contain like 5 or less lines of additions of deletions 😔

At least from the random recent commits lmao

Why do this by yourself

discord already moves people to AFK channels if they go AFK in the guild past the set time

into a set AFK channel you set in settings

Oh I see

But then users would just circumvent this by leaving themselves unmuted

[maiden fable]

Wait I have something for u

Uhhh nvm, it's not there for members

But that's only for the bot

What timer?

Lemme see...

!d discord.Member.voice

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.voice

property voice: Optional[discord.member.VoiceState]```
Returns the member’s current voice state.

[maiden fable]

Wait @hidden hazel

I am finding that thing

I think u can check if a member is talking

[spring flax]

For a ModMail bot, that works on when a user reactions it creates a channel with him and staff and the messages get sent between each the created channel and modmail channel, how exactly should one send the embeds between each channel?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceState.self_mute is the max I can find ngl

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceState.self\_mute

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

[maiden fable]

Ah cool

Discord does that automatically

!d discord.VoiceState.afk

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceState.afk

Indicates if the user is currently in the AFK channel in the guild.

[patent lark]

i also took a look, as ar as im aware, you cannot detect if a user is speaking in discord.py.

[maiden fable]

Yea that's what we are looking for @patent lark

[patent lark]

you can do this with other libraries, but discord.py doesnt have that feature as far as im aware.

negative.

[maiden fable]

Wait how with disnake?

[pliant gulch]

hmmm

[maiden fable]

"Do this with other libs"

[pliant gulch]

You might be able to actually lol

[patent lark]

how so?

[pliant gulch]

My wrapper can detect people speaking based on websocket messages

Since voice connection requires a websocket connection

[maiden fable]

Damn

That's gonna be a useful feature ngl

[patent lark]

i'd assume you could, as i dont find it impossible, but i dont think discord.py actually handles it for you.

[pliant gulch]

So you'd need to do stuff with the internal websocket client of the bot

[maiden fable]

Wait @hidden hazel

A lib which has voice receive might be able to help u

[pliant gulch]

give me a sec I can prob figure it out

[maiden fable]

Ah cool

[pliant gulch]

cause my wrapper was implementing voice receive but we only got the packets, haven't decoded them

😔

[maiden fable]

No 😂

[patent lark]

what are you going to do when a user leaves themselves unmuted for points?

[maiden fable]

No

[patent lark]

credit them because you were too lazy to fix a bug within your system?

[maiden fable]

Give them a role Extra Intelligent Nerd

Or #Failure

🤣

[patent lark]

or you could prevent it all by detecting when they speak?

well there are probably multiple solutions

that being one.

[final iron]

Wait so could you possibly get the audio of the VC?

[patent lark]

indeed you can.

[final iron]

Or am I misunderstanding

[glad thicket]

Hey how do you send a message when the TimeOutError occurs

[final iron]

Hmm. I personally don't like that

[glad thicket]

Hey how do you send a message when the TimeOutError occurs

[final iron]

I actually really don't like that

[patent lark]

well, discord.py doesnt handle that for you.

[final iron]

There has to be a lib in some language which has it implemented

[patent lark]

its not a feature that allows you to detect that. we are talking about, changing internals to receive this, or use another lib which may allow it.

there is.

[pliant gulch]

Ah yep found it

[glad thicket]

can anyone help me please

[pliant gulch]

The gateway sends the voice websocket an Operation code of 5

This is basically dispatched when a User is in a "speaking" state

You'd probably don't want to modify the websocket and listen for the OPCode

I was just curious

[pliant gulch]

Odd discord documentation says it's sent when the client is speaking. But looking at my collaborators voice receive implementation it is dispatched as well for users

I guess this is sort of a grey area

[slate swan]

i have a ticket system and whats supposed to happen is i type *createticket <#channel> <message> and that would create an embed with a ticket reaction so people could react to it and talk to staff in the private channel that gets made and whenever i press on the reaction, it makes a new role but it doesnt make a new channel https://mystb.in/RulingMedicaidAccessible.python

[maiden fable]

Why not modify the ws tho?

[pliant gulch]

because in order to listen for that operation code you'd need to modify the method that listens to the gateway

potentially breaking everything. Overall undefined behaviour

[slate swan]

is there a discordrb discord?

[pliant gulch]

That wrapper hasn't been actively developed in ages, I doubt there is one

[slate swan]

😔

what can i do with rb then😔

[pliant gulch]

Oh nevermind I was looking at the old repo

Looks like they moved the repo

oh... its a bit better, but hasn't had a commit since 4 months ago

[slate swan]

https://github.com/discordrb/discordrb

this one right

wait

theres a channel for it in the discord api server

[slate swan]

this one sorry:
https://github.com/shardlab/discordrb

discordrb looks so clean and simple ngl

[spring flax]

For a ModMail bot, that works on when a user reactions it creates a channel with him and staff and the messages get sent between each the created channel and modmail channel, how exactly should one send the embeds between each channel?

[storm junco]

Hi together!
I am currently splitting my cogs because it starts to get messy. What is the best way to have variables shared within all files?
In the all-in-one cog I just loaded my settings from file into a global variable and wrote it back on changes. Now I can't do that because the settings inside different cogs would drift apart if they all change settings. But I don't really want to load the settings from file every time I need them.

[slate swan]

a bot var

[spring flax]

Also would it be bad not using a database for this purpose

[potent spear]

does the data need to be stored? can it not just be sent straight to a staff channel or whatever?
if it does need to be stored, use a DB for sure

[spring flax]

well it's only for one server so i guess i don't need a db

[potent spear]

the size doesn't matter

[spring flax]

though, how do I send messages between the DM channel and created staff channel, is what I'm confused about

[potent spear]

it's not because it's small, that you can use a txt or whatever

[green dust]

Is it possible to make a bot to send message to a channel on terminate

[potent spear]

you get the staff channel when you're in a dm, and just send it through

[potent spear]

yup, you can overwrite the async close method of the bot

[spring flax]

no i mean I don't need to store information like per server configruation

[potent spear]

yeah, but you'll probably want the modmail to still be stored when the bot restarts I guess

[spring flax]

yeah but how would i tell the bot which channel to send the message to or which member to DM

[green dust]

Is it a good idea to do so? Would I accidentally overwrite something important

[potent spear]

by hardcoding that into a variable
STAFF_CHANNEL_ID = ...

[potent spear]

just make sure it still has the normal close implementation as last step

[spring flax]

but what if for every ticket made it creates a new channel

do you know chambur's modmail?

[green dust]

OK cool. Tq

[potent spear]

I'll save you some time
Overwrite Bot.close with what you would like to happen as the bot shuts down to implement "on_close" functionality.
Note: if you are not sub-classing it is recommended that you do so as to avoid over-complications.

class CustomBot(discord.Client):  # or inherit commands.Bot
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        ...

    async def close(self):
        # do stuff
        await super().close()```

[potent spear]

no, idk anything about modmail

[green dust]

Neat, thanks again

[potent spear]

well, you can store all the "active ticket channel ID's" as a variable

else print the error
also, ctx comes first, then error

make sure you have the event decorator on top

[vale wing]

How is it decorated (and why not use elif)

The what

[oblique cobalt]

he meant elif in if..elif..else

LMAO

@instance.event

[vale wing]

@bot.listen('on_command_error') recommended

[oblique cobalt]

^

[oblique cobalt]

well isnt default one just gonna annoy your console ?

[potent spear]

why listen? so you can have multiple listeners for the same event?

[vale wing]

Why event?

[vale wing]

No

[oblique cobalt]

to overwrite default one

[potent spear]

since you only need one...

[oblique cobalt]

yes it will

on_command_error by default prints traceback

[vale wing]

I have listeners in all of my bots it doesn't raise errors

[oblique cobalt]

im saying print not raise

[vale wing]

It doesn't print anything

You can check by yourself

[oblique cobalt]

ill check when i get on PC

[vale wing]

@oblique cobalt I checked it for you (as you can see the console is empty even tho there are no events but only listeners)

[sonic gale]

async def on_member_join(member):
    embed = discord.Embed(description = f"\n\n[#915283231899795526](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/915283231899795526/)\n\n[#917113108420513842](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/917113108420513842/)\n\n[#912080645608587325](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/912080645608587325/)", color=0x36393E)

    await client.get_channel(912102049364209684).send(embed=embed)``` help with await ctx.send(f"welcome {member.mention}")

where would i put it

so send a message outside the embed

[potent spear]

this is the incorrect listener in a Cog / class

the docs will tell you what is

just look up Cogs and it'll be right ahead

[potent spear]

you don't have to put anything between the (), you can just it like an event, not a listen

[waxen granite]

in the 1st 1lif

elif*

it worked correctly

now that the date is more than 13/01/2022

it should triger the elif localdate > surgeryend:

but

[potent spear]

just print the statement itself, and you'll see if the outcome is as expected

print(localdate > surgeryend)

[waxen granite]

when i am sending the msg posting it says await message.reply("Your Next posting Medicine, starts tomorrow.")
when it should send await message.reply(f"Current Posting: Medicine, {':'.join(days.split(':')[0:-1])} hrs to go.")

[potent spear]

@bot.event outside of a class
is equal to
@commands.Cog.listener()
inside of a Cog

you have to add self as an argument in that method, you're in a class

if that error didn't pop up, you have some messed errorhandlers somewhere

[waxen granite]

says False

[potent spear]

well, then it obviously will never print what you want it to

you can just print every variable and check if it's what you want it to be
that way, you know what's wrong

[waxen granite]

jsut a sec i messed up while printing xd

print (localdate > surgeryend) is True

since its true it shpuld trigger the

            elif localdate > surgeryend:
                def medicine(localdate, medicineend):
                    return (localdate - medicineend)
                days = f"{medicine(medicineend, localdate)}"
                cmstart = medicineend - localdate
                if cmstart.days <= 1:
                    await message.reply("Your Next posting `Community Medicine`, starts tomorrow.")

                    await message.reply(f"Current Posting: `Medicine`, {':'.join(days.split(':')[0:-1])} hrs to go.")```

but

[copper yarrow]

How can I make a marry command and it will show whom you married when you type !marrage

[waxen granite]

its still triggering this only

elif localdate > obgend:
                def surgery(localdate, surgeryend):
                    return (localdate - surgeryend)
                days = f"{surgery(surgeryend, localdate)}"
                medicinestart = surgeryend - localdate
                if medicinestart.days <= 1:
                    await message.reply("Your Next posting `Medicine`, starts tomorrow.")

                    await message.reply(f"Current Posting: `Surgery`, {':'.join(days.split(':')[0:-1])} hrs to go.")```

@potent spear

[waxen granite]

this code is blocking the above code.

[potent spear]

just print the medicinestart, you'll see it isn't the value you expect it to be and you can work with that

[waxen granite]

-4 days, 9:59:55.616750

the value is okay

[potent spear]

@client.command()
async def marry(ctx, member: discord.Member):
  await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author.name} married {member.name}")```
!marry @copper yarrow

[potent spear]

well, -4 is obviously smaller than 1...
so the if statement is true...

[waxen granite]

well yes but

the point is

it shoul consider the elif localdate > surgeryend: first

[copper yarrow]

But I wanna see who married to whom when I type !marriage

[potent spear]

well, that's what'll get sent...

[waxen granite]

if localdate <= obgend:
elif localdate > obgend:
elif localdate > surgeryend:

i have these 3 statements

[potent spear]

it'll never come to the third elif ofc

[waxen granite]

why not?

[potent spear]

becuase if localdate is not <= obgend
it'll obviously be >

[copper yarrow]

!snipe

Snipe pls

[potent spear]

you'll need a database for that

[copper yarrow]

Anyone

[copper yarrow]

Wdym?

[waxen granite]

ah

[copper yarrow]

I need a database for marriage command?

[waxen granite]

how can i solve this :3

[potent spear]

by rethinking your code

[potent spear]

not if you don't want this to persist when you restart the bot

if you do, you'll just have to store in a db when you get married and via the "marriage" it'll check who you married to in the db or whatever you like

[shadow wraith]

wait how do i make the bot send a message with all the items in a list without it sending an item each message, like i want all the items to be in 1 message

[potent spear]

you can make the list a string via join

google python str.join

[shadow wraith]

i kinda didn't code in python for a while

[shadow wraith]

ok

[slate swan]

!join

[unkempt canyon]

Joining Iterables

If you want to display a list (or some other iterable), you can write:

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
output = ""
separator = ", "
for color in colors:
    output += color + separator
print(output)
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow, '

However, the separator is still added to the last element, and it is relatively slow.

A better solution is to use str.join.

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
separator = ", "
print(separator.join(colors))
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow'

An important thing to note is that you can only str.join strings. For a list of ints,
you must convert each element to a string before joining.

integers = [1, 3, 6, 10, 15]
print(", ".join(str(e) for e in integers))
# Prints '1, 3, 6, 10, 15'

[potent spear]

or that^^
who needs google?

doesn't matter , Disnake is derived from discord

Guys can someone help me?

Sure

its about this

I want to duplicate these to my code

        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('<@&926037413669769228> There is a raid in Ghoul Town starting within 15 minutes.')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message
      


    if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
        if message.author.id in hist:
            await message.delete()
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content="**MASSIVE** - <@&926037413669769228> There is a **MASSIVE** raid in Ghoul Town starting within 15 minutes.")  ```

but this lines will be changed:
if any(word in message.content for word in["Ghoul", "Town"]):

sent_message = await message.channel.send('<@&926037413669769228> There is a raid in Ghoul Town starting within 15 minutes.')

await hist[message.author.id].edit(content="**MASSIVE** - <@&926037413669769228> There is a **MASSIVE** raid in Ghoul Town starting within 15 minutes.")

[vale wing]

Why is it like

in[...]```
There should be a space

[slate swan]

space on what?

[vale wing]

In this case it will work anyway but it is not following code style conventions I am pretty sure

in [...]```

[slate swan]

oh

this one?
in["Ghoul", "Town"]):

[vale wing]

You want to change the list of available words?

[vale wing]

Yeah it's better to write it with a space

in ["Ghoul", "Town"]):```

[slate swan]

i want it to detect another specific words instead of
["Ghoul", "Town"])

[slate swan]

okay, thanks for the info. i'll change it

[vale wing]

Create a list of those words and store it somewhere if you would like to

[slate swan]

how can i create a list?

[vale wing]

Do you know python well?

[slate swan]

nope

😅 .

[vale wing]

Then I don't recommend to start learning it from a discord bot, start with smaller projects

It requires intermediate python knowledge because it is an advanced asynchronous application and just copying code from everywhere won't give you much knowledge

[slate swan]

okay

[shadow wraith]

i am

bored

[slate swan]

same

[spring flax]

without using a database, how would be the best way to have a list of ID's and check/add to that list. Would a json file be okay for this?

[shadow wraith]

isn't json kinda a db?

[karmic lintel]

hmm you can say but not for big projects

1. why is there an event decorator
2. the indentation seems inside the level_up func

[spring flax]

3. a database is better than a json for a levelling system

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[quick gust]

what did I say? your indents are wrong in the level_up func

[slate swan]

?

what part of that sentence do you not understand

hi

there was a bot called r.danny right?

can someone help me with this?

        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('test')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

    if "star" in message.content:
        if message.author.id in hist:
            await message.delete()
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "testing")```
if i type "hope", the message gets deleted and the bot sends a message "test". and if i type "star", the message gets deleted and the bot edits the message "test" into "testing".

i have a problem, if i duplicate that code

[humble granite]

you are closing the task

if any(word in message.content for word in "hope"):
        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('test')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

        if "star" in message.content and message.author.id in hist:
            await message.delete()
            await sent_message.edit("testing")

should work with that

[slate swan]

no wait, thats not my problem

and change something into this,

        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('test')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

    if "star" in message.content:
        if message.author.id in hist:
            await message.delete()
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "pound")```

[humble granite]

@slate swan
this should work

hist = {}

if any(word in message.content.lower() for word in "hope"):
        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('test')
        hist.append(messager.author.id)

        if "star" in message.content and message.author.id in hist:
            await message.delete()
            await sent_message.edit("testing")

[slate swan]

i'll try it

[humble granite]

put the hist = {} outside the on_message event

[slate swan]

my problem is that when i duplicte that code into my script and change the words inside the "-". it contradicts each other

[humble granite]

you don't have to duplicate the code

and you are making a for for one string

should look like this if "hope" in message.content

[maiden fable]

It's a binary string

Button links in nextcord

!d nextcord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.ui.button

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

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

Note

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

Anyone have any sample coding of reading embed? Any code. Just trying to learn how to. DM me please.

[vast spruce]

Guys I need help, I would appreciate everyone who could help me.

I got reported on my main for being underage. I appealed it, and it was been a day now. I heard many people never got their accounts back.

So, in case my account gets deleted in 14 days (since I heard when it gets disabled it gets deleted in 14 days) only thing I can do is transfer ownership to other account but it MUST have Moderator/Admin perms.

Well this is a problem, nobody on the Server including bots have those perms (they have mod ones).

Only one that has Admin perms is bot I made, and I have my token. So is there a way I can code a bot to make a role with admin perms and give me it? Thank you.

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Message.embeds get the discord.Message object, then use this attribute. It returns a list of discord.Embed objects, which have everything you need to read it.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.embeds

A list of embeds the message has.

[boreal ravine]

Are you in the server?

also if your bot has admin, why cant it just unban you from the guild

[vast spruce]

Yes I am.

[vast spruce]

I'm not banned, my discord is disabled bro- by the discord.

[twin moon]

reading embed why?

[vast spruce]

I sent them proof of me kot being underage.

[boreal ravine]

your bot needs to make a role with admin permissions and then you'd need to give it to yourself

[maiden fable]

I gave an answer... The initial answer is wrong.

[vast spruce]

Exactly, so I can transfer ownership on my alt.

Last one is problem for me.

So that's the idea I got

[boreal ravine]

you cant transfer owner if your just an admin though

[twin moon]

bruh make a new bot

[boreal ravine]

only the owner of the server can transfer owner

[vast spruce]

You can send appeal to discord

It owners account gets deleted

[twin moon]

make team

[boreal ravine]

oh

[heavy radish]

Trying to make a BOT. Not rn, tomorrow morning

[vast spruce]

You can request from discord to transfer

But new accs needs admin perms

So can I make bot to make a role with admin perms and give me that role on alt?

[twin moon]

Reading or creating an embed?

[vast spruce]

That's my question

[boreal ravine]

I already gave them the answer

[heavy radish]

Reading. So I need it to read an embed sent by another bot, then send output. The output part is easy, I need it to read certain aspects

Brb

[boreal ravine]

yes

[opaque minnow]

Hey guys, I'm trying to work with the discord.py API and learn some fun ways to use it, I'm currently trying to grab all servers and all channels within those servers and write them to folders and files.

I've came across 2 issues, the first is that it seems to be attempting to write all channels for all servers into every server folder (instead of their own independent folders). The second is that the txt files seem to error once they encounter an emoji.

Error:

[ERROR]: Command raised an exception: OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'C:\\Users\\me\\Desktop\\main2/logs/HackerOne/👸Girls-Only 🚫🍆 <— Stinky.txt'

Code:

    await ctx.message.delete()
    async for guild in client.fetch_guilds():
        os.mkdir(f'logs')
        os.mkdir(f'{pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.resolve()}/logs/{guild}')
        for channels in client.get_all_channels():
            ff = open(f'{pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.resolve()}/logs/{guild}/{channels}.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8')
            ff.write(f'test')
    await asyncio.sleep(25)  
    print(f'{Fore.GREEN}Success!')

(yes I know this is awful but I'll clean it up with error handling when it's behaving as it should)
I should add that without writing the text files, this will create a folder for every server. It's just struggling to handle emojis it seems and adding all servers channels into each folder

[twin moon]

thats a weird path

[maiden fable]

Why fetch_guilds?

!d discord.Client.guilds exist

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.guilds

property guilds: List[discord.guild.Guild]```
The guilds that the connected client is a member of.

[opaque minnow]

It just grabs the present working directory with pathlib

[tacit token]

Hello! Can I talk to someone who used discord components?

[opaque minnow]

I've tried literally everything I can think of by this point and now I'm just stuck

Ran out of ideas

It's not recommended to use a third party library. Use the master branch , or some fork

a person who violates TOS

[slate swan]

How is it against TOS?

[twin moon]

can I put a var in a decorator inside a class?

@nextcord.ui.Button(label="Reddit",style = nextcord.ButtonStyle.green,url = total_link) #total_link
async def memedata(self,button:nextcord.ui.Button,interaction:nextcord.Interaction):```

[slate swan]

i tried to execute the code with an interval of 10 min but it still executes the 1st if "MASSIVE" in message.content: i think the bot doesnt recognize the 2nd if "MASSIVE" in message.content: and only executes the 1st if "MASSIVE" in message.content: since it's placed higher than the second one.

[twin moon]

it doesent find the var in the init

[slate swan]

CODE:

        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('Ghoultest')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

    if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
      await message.delete()
      if message.author.id in hist:
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "Massive Ghoultest")
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if any(word in message.content for word in ["Slayer", "Army"]):
        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('Slayertest')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

    if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
      await message.delete()
      if message.author.id in hist:
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "Massive Slayertest")

ISSUE:
When i type Ghoul Town it executes the first
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
and when i type Slayer Army it executes the second
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
. But the issue is, when i type Slayer Army again, it executes the first
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
not the second
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:

My opinion
i think the bot doesnt recognize the 2nd
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
and only executes the 1st
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
since it's placed higher than the second one.

How can i fix it guys? thanks for helping!

[copper yarrow]

Bro how can I remove add to server feature from my bot

[maiden fable]

Discord Dev Website > OAuth2 > General

[copper yarrow]

What about in bot section?

[maiden fable]

Ah wait I just saw, why do u have two if statements with the same thing?

[maiden fable]

?

[slate swan]

if any(word in message.content for word in ["Ghoul", "Town"]):
or
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
?

[maiden fable]

No

if MASSIVE in message.content

[copper yarrow]

Hiw

[slate swan]

about that

[copper yarrow]

Help me

[maiden fable]

Only one of them will execute, the first one, since that's first in order

[copper yarrow]

Should I enable public bots in bots section

[maiden fable]

Yea

[copper yarrow]

Why?

[maiden fable]

U need to make it a public bot

[copper yarrow]

I don't want anyone to add it

[maiden fable]

Then forget about the Add to Server button

[copper yarrow]

K. Then how to remove add to server option

[copper yarrow]

Yes I don't want that

[maiden fable]

Set it to None in the OAuth2 Tab

[copper yarrow]

How to remove

[copper yarrow]

And this?

[maiden fable]

No

[slate swan]

they are two since the first one is:

            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "Massive Ghoultest")```
while the second one is:
```if message.author.id in hist:
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "Massive Slayertest")```

[errant shuttle]

# I imported the other modules
async def mute(self, ctx: commands.Context, member: Member, timer="15m", *, reason):
  long = humanfriendly.parse_timespan(timer)
  await member.edit(
  timeout=utils.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=long)
)

I am getting this error (I never got it before)```
File "/home/runner/Efendo-Bot-Source-Code/modules/mod/cog.py", line 130, in mute
await member.edit(
TypeError: edit() got an unexpected keyword argument 'timeout'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This command used to work before but it dosn't work anymore.
Any idea what is wrong with it?

[maiden fable]

But the bot won't know when to go to the second statement, soooo

[slate swan]

how can i make it so the 2nd one will be executed with a specific action?

[maiden fable]

Wrong version

[maiden fable]

Idk what u tryna do, sooo

[errant shuttle]

wdym?

[maiden fable]

Wrong nextcord version

It's a common issue to have a version mismatch

[errant shuttle]

ok... lemme reinstall

@maiden fable what is the correct nextcord version?

[slate swan]

so basically, if i type Slayer Army, it will execute the second
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
since it's under the if-statement of
if any(word in message.content for word in ["Slayer", "Army"]):
and when i type Ghoul Town, it will execute the first
if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
since it's under the if-statement of
if any(word in message.content for word in ["Ghoul", "Town"]):

[maiden fable]

Ah the indentation sucks

!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.

[maiden fable]

The indentation is all messed up

This is how it's shown in my mobile

So format your code with codeblocks plz

[slate swan]

oh

[upbeat otter]

use three backticks

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

i ask again lol

[maiden fable]

if any(word in message.content for word in ["Ghoul", "Town"]):
        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('Ghoultest')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

    if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
      await message.delete()
      if message.author.id in hist:
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "Massive Ghoultest")
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if any(word in message.content for word in ["Slayer", "Army"]):
        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('Slayertest')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

    if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
      await message.delete()
      if message.author.id in hist:
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "Massive Slayertest")

Did it for u

See yr indent

[heavy radish]

Where is my intend wrong?

[slate swan]

is there anyway i can put this code

if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
      await message.delete()
      if message.author.id in hist:
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "**MASSIVE** - <@&926037277833048115> There is a **MASSIVE** raid in Slayer Army starting within 15 minutes.")

under this one?

if any(word in message.content for word in ["Slayer", "Army"]):
        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('<@&926037277833048115> There is a raid in Slayer Army starting within 15 minutes.')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

so when this

if any(word in message.content for word in ["Slayer", "Army"]):
        await message.delete()
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('<@&926037277833048115> There is a raid in Slayer Army starting within 15 minutes.')
        hist[message.author.id] = sent_message

is executed
this

if "MASSIVE" in message.content:
      await message.delete()
      if message.author.id in hist:
            await hist[message.author.id].edit(content = "**MASSIVE** - <@&926037277833048115> There is a **MASSIVE** raid in Slayer Army starting within 15 minutes.")

will also execute

[upbeat otter]

seriously? json?

[maiden fable]

It's Sang Eun Ha's code

[upbeat otter]

see the number of spaces

[spring flax]

Just to confirm, one can have two @bot.listen() functions in the same main file right? I seem to have forgotten

[upbeat otter]

oh lol

[upbeat otter]

yes

you can

[heavy radish]

Where? It seems good to me. I must be blind

[upbeat otter]

tab them again

[spring flax]

two @bot.listen for on_messages won't be any different right?

[upbeat otter]

they'll be the same, you can name the functions differently

keep the events same

[slate swan]

help pls

[spring flax]

what you can't do is use two on_message events for @bot.event then, correct?

[upbeat otter]

yep

[spring flax]

okay thanks

[upbeat otter]

@bot.listen("on_message")

so what problem happens with the 2nd statement>

[maiden fable]

@slate swan

[flat solstice]

So I have this command (going to be a task event which runs every 6 - 24 hours, eventually) which searches through a channels history to find msgs that have embeds which match a list of keywords. I

1. want my bot to look through the fetched msgs chronologically (oldest to newest)
2. then for every message in that list I want to check if the message ID is not in my list of checked messages
3. then I want it to check if the author of the msg is the same as the provided ID
4. then I want it to check if the message contains a embed (It should do every time but doing this to be on the safe side)
5. then I want it to check if any of the words in my key_words list appear in the embeds title
6. if the key_words do appear then I want it to construct a new embed from the field values of the original embed
7. then I want it to add the ID of the message it just checked to my list of checked msgs so that it won't check it again in future
   I think I have all of that logic correct but does someone mind checking over my code to double check this for me?
   I also have some additional stages that I'm not too sure how to implement so some idea's on how I could do them would be appreciated.
8. I would like to be able to know which of my key_words it triggers on so that I can add that to my new embed inside of the {action} variable

hi, i have a server with 1700 bans and i need help with an unban all command,

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def unban(ctx):
    server=ctx.guild
    ban_list=await bot.get_bans(server)
    await ctx.send('Desbaneando a todos los miembros.')
    for member in ban_list:
      await bot.unban(server,member)```

The bot doesn't unban anyone

And it doesn't print any traceback

[silver wolf]

It’s guild.bans() not get_bans()

[twin moon]

class RedditLink(nextcord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self,link,permalink):
        self.reddit_link = link
        self.permalink = permalink
        self.total_link = self.link + self.permalink

    @nextcord.ui.Button(label="Reddit",style = nextcord.ButtonStyle.green,url = self.total_link)
    async def link(self,button:nextcord.ui.Button,interaction:nextcord.Interaction):
        pass```
 it doesent find self.total_link

[slim whale]

ban_list=await bot.guild.bans(server) like this?

[silver wolf]

Just bans(). No parameters

[slim whale]

okay

[silver wolf]

Make sure the tutorial u looked at is up to date

[slim whale]

so the server=ctx.guild is innecesary?

[silver wolf]

Technically yes, but the way u have it is fine

[slim whale]

okay

thanks!

[twin moon]

what why bot

[silver wolf]

That way is wrong btw

Doesn’t it have bot.guilds?

Which is a list

.bans() is for a single server

[slim whale]

await ctx.guild.unban(member) can i do it like this?

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def unban(ctx):
  if ctx.author.id == 626127081419571206 or 931999712012275732:
      ban_list=await bot.guild.bans()
      await ctx.send('Desbaneando a todos los miembros.')
      for member in ban_list:
      await ctx.guild.unban(member)
  else:
    await ctx.send('¡No tienes permisos para ejecutar ese comando!')```

it looks like this

[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.")

[twin moon]

ANY HELP?

[silver wolf]

ban_list = await ctx.guild.bans()

[vague grove]

hey guys how can i make my slash commands say something to the user and only they can see it

[twin moon]

ephemeral = True

[vague grove]

where would i add that, in the @slash part?

[twin moon]

what are you using for module

[vague grove]

discord_slash

[twin moon]

dont

use nextcord

or disnake

[vague grove]

oh

why not

[twin moon]

because its BAD

[vague grove]

lol

so you can hide messages with discordpy?

[twin moon]

use nextcord

[vague grove]

is it just a fork or is it completely different

[twin moon]

hmm

[twin moon]

a fork and better

instead of discord

nextcord

[vague grove]

will all my code break when i do upgrade

[twin moon]

discord.Embed -> nextcord.Embed

[twin moon]

depends

[vague grove]

or just import nextcord as discord

[twin moon]

deinstall discord

[vague grove]

mmm alr

so im guessing nextcord is better than disnake?

[twin moon]

depends

I use nextcord

[vague grove]

alr ill peek around and make a decision

So I have this command (going to be a task event which runs every 6 - 24 hours, eventually) which searches through a channels history to find msgs that have embeds which match a list of keywords. I

1. want my bot to look through the fetched msgs chronologically (oldest to newest)
2. then for every message in that list I want to check if the message ID is not in my list of checked messages
3. then I want it to check if the author of the msg is the same as the provided ID
4. then I want it to check if the message contains a embed (It should do every time but doing this to be on the safe side)
5. then I want it to check if any of the words in my key_words list appear in the embeds title
6. if the key_words do appear then I want it to construct a new embed from the field values of the original embed
7. then I want it to add the ID of the message it just checked to my list of checked msgs so that it won't check it again in future
   I think I have all of that logic correct but does someone mind checking over my code to double check this for me?
   I also have some additional stages that I'm not too sure how to implement so some idea's on how I could do them would be appreciated.
8. I would like to be able to know which of my key_words it triggers on so that I can add that to my new embed inside of the {action} variable
9. I would like to write the datetime timestamp of the last checked message to my last_chacked variable so that it won't check msgs before that again (jut saving on having duplicate new embeds)
   Below is my code, thank for you reading```py

[surreal sierra]

if I have my code shared up in different files and one file is for all events. how do I load the events in the main file so it all works? do I have to use cogs, in that case how would it work? or is there an another way to do it?

[misty vault]

discord.py isnt working it says syntax error

[slim ibex]

It seems like you want to import the whole file to your main file. If so you can say from folder.folder import file

replace folder.folder with the path to the file

[slim whale]

still need help with the unban all command, i have this

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def unban(ctx):
  ban_list = ctx.guild.bans()
  await ctx.send('Desbaneando a todos los miembros.')
  for member in ban_list:
    await ctx.guild.unban(member)```

[misty vault]

it just says this

i copy and pasted from the pypi

[slim ibex]

try python -m pip install discord.py

And I wouldn’t use discord.py

[slim whale]

someone?

[slim ibex]

What is the error/issue

[surreal sierra]

yea I was thinking about that at first, but if I just import it like that it wont actually start the events when I run the bot

[misty vault]

it says that for every command i try to use

[slim whale]

no traceback and the bot does nothing

[slim ibex]

Do it on cmd @misty vault

[slim ibex]

You could put all the events in a class, and import the class, then call the class so it runs everything

[misty vault]

??

where

[slim ibex]

Since this is an async function, I would await the context.guild.bans()

[surreal sierra]

okay, I havent used classes a lot but I will look into that. thanks!

[vague grove]

how long does discord take to pop up slash commands on all my servers

all servers the bots in

[misty vault]

around 1 hour iirc

[slim whale]

ban_list = await ctx.guild.bans() this?

[vague grove]

does the script need to be running

[slim ibex]

You have to specify guild ids in the decorator, for testing purposes. There is probably another way to do it if you want it in all guilds

[vague grove]

and once i update the slash commands, it also takes 1 hour?

[misty vault]

i dont think so

[slim ibex]

Yes

[drifting arrow]

@commands.has_any_role(*_CONFIG["bot_manager"])
How do I update that variable? I manage to update it using a command but it doesnt respond to the new role I assign. I am typing the role correctly.

[slim whale]

i will try and i tell u

[slim ibex]

There is probably an issue with the event loop

[vague grove]

i just have a funtion that gets all guilds when the bot starts and when bot leaves/joins a server

with a list it just appends

[slim whale]

same thing @slim ibex

[slim ibex]

ye I didn’t expect it to work right away

There is some issue with the actual code

[slim whale]

with the bot code? or just the cmd code

[slim ibex]

lemme see

the command

[slim whale]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def unban(ctx):
  ban_list = await ctx.guild.bans()
  await ctx.send('Desbaneando a todos los miembros.')
  for member in ban_list:
    await ctx.guild.unban(member)```

[slim ibex]

I would probably pass in member as a nob-keyword arg and make sure to use the member name and discriminator because that is how you will unban the user

[misty vault]

binds

[slim whale]

I think that is not the issue, i did a simple command and it doesnt work, and i dont know why

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  await ctx.send('adsa')```this doesnt work XD

[slim ibex]

oh well then it’s an issue with the bot itself

are you in cogs?

[misty vault]

where is cmd

[slim ibex]

Command prompt

[slim whale]

nop

[slim ibex]

YeahX then it’s an issue with the bot itself

maybe token or something idk

[slim whale]

no bc the logs work

[slim ibex]

Ye I was gonna get to that

[misty vault]

is it this

[slim ibex]

Windows+R and type CMD

[slim whale]

so how can i make it return the list of members

[slim ibex]

You don’t want a list of members if you only want to unban one at a time

That’s why I said you have to access the ban list like you already are and use the member name and discriminator

[slim whale]

how i can do that? i dont understand xd

[misty vault]

it says pip is not recognized as a intern or extern command

[slim ibex]

@misty vault you prolly don’t have python installed properly

[slim ibex]

Make a variable for member name and discriminator, and make sure to split it with #

and you also will need member as a non keyword arg in the function parameter

[slim whale]

for member in ban_list:
    member= f"{member.name}#{member.discriminator}"
    await ctx.guild.unban(member)``` like this?

[slim ibex]

Or just some sort of arg

I mean you COULD do it that way

It’s just you need the member argument if you want to specify the user to unban while typing the command

I believe so

[slim whale]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def unban(ctx):
  ban_list = await ctx.guild.bans()
  await ctx.send('Desbaneando a todos los miembros.')
  for member in ban_list:
    member= f"{member.name}#{member.discriminator}"
    await ctx.guild.unban(member)```so this should work?

i will host it in another bot bc it dont works and idk why (i did something wrong with the logs)

[slim ibex]

Do you know what an argument/parameter is?

You could try it and see if it works

[misty vault]

its IDLE Shell 3.10.1

[copper zodiac]

this is giving me a KeyError for 'formats'? how do i go about fixing that?

[slim whale]

yes like in the async(ctx) i can do another

async def a(ctx,a:str=None)

but i only want to unban everyone

[slim ibex]

OH

[slim whale]

can i invite u to replit and u help me? bc i thing its cause of the logs

and i dont know why

[slim ibex]

First you want to reference the server, and next reference the ban list for said server

then you want to loop over every member in the ban list and unban them

[drifting arrow]

Is there any way for me to auto-reload a cog without needing to run a command?

[slim whale]

server=ctx.guild

[slim ibex]

ye prettt much

[slim whale]

ban_list = await server.guild.bans() ?

[slim ibex]

no

[slim whale]

how it would be?

[slim ibex]

use get_bans(server)

don’t forgot the bot.

hmm

[slim whale]

bot.get_bans(server)

[slim ibex]

see if it works

After that loop over every member on ban list

And unban them

[tacit token]

anybody?

[boreal ravine]

restart your bot

[slim whale]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def unban(ctx):
  server=ctx.guild
  ban_list = await bot.get_bans(server)
  await ctx.send('Desbaneando a todos los miembros.')
  for member in ban_list:
    member= f"{member.name}#{member.discriminator}"
    await ctx.guild.unban(member)```

it doesn't

[drifting arrow]

I dont particularly want to restart my bot XD

[slim whale]

@slim ibex can i invite u to the replt?

[slim ibex]

not home I’m on my phone rn

[slim whale]

oh

like the @bot.command doesnt work bc of the logs

[slim ibex]

remove the member variable

where do you declare the bot variable

[slim whale]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", intents=intents, owner_id=725708506556268605,help_command=None)

[tacit token]

anybody help me pls?

[slim ibex]

did you import intents

and if you want all intents do, Intents.all()

[slim whale]

intents = discord.Intents.all()

yes but i think its for the message logs

[tacit token]

so nobody, noproblem

[slim ibex]

It means you passed an extra argument

That wasn’t needed

[tacit token]

where?

a fact thus uses the interaction of the dadjoke so that it is not the same time

[slim ibex]

Which line raises the error

[tacit token]

None of them, they just run. However, when the fact is above the nanny, fact uses nannyjos, vice versa when it writes an error code under the button.

google translate

[slim ibex]

it has to do something with the instance (self)

[tacit token]

so i invite u maybe to 1 random test server and i show u

[surreal sierra]

Im trying to load my commands from a different file to the main file with classes. its not working, Im guessing I did something wrong but Im not sure what I did wrong. I got it like this

class vc_c(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot

    # Joins VC
    @commands.command()
    async def join(ctx):
        if ctx.author.voice is None:
            await ctx.send(f"Please, may {username} join a voice channel for me to direct to!")

        voice_channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
        if ctx.voice_commands is None:
            await voice_channel.connect()
        else:
            await ctx.voice_commands.move_to(voice_channel)

def setup(bot: commands.Bot):
    bot.add_cog(vc_c(bot))

Main file here (I didnt show the whole main file bcz its just so many imports and other shit):

bot.load_extension("vc_c")

print("Online")
bot.run('TOKEN')

[slim ibex]

I can’t at the moment

[tacit token]

ok

btw ty, i try remove from cogs and import for the main

[slim ibex]

Are the cogs in a seperate folder

[surreal sierra]

well yes, the first code I showed is in my vc_commands.py file and the last part is main.py

[slim ibex]

but are they in the same folder

or are the cogs in a deeper folder

[surreal sierra]

ah, yea all of them is in same folder

[slim ibex]

something like

oh ok

[surreal sierra]

here u see

[slim ibex]

I would make a cogs folder tbh

Because then you can use the os module to load them

[surreal sierra]

I mean it wouldnt make any different?

[slim ibex]

ehh just more organized

[surreal sierra]

oh okay

[slim ibex]

I guess that’s just me

but this is what I mean

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

[surreal sierra]

ah, okay. then I would have to create a new folder and have all the cogs there, I will try with that thanks

[surreal sierra]

but it would work with doing it in this way, right? with the separated folder

[humble granite]

how do I get every string from this binary?
'b["hello","world"]'

[honest shoal]

which lib

[vague grove]

discord

[honest shoal]

dpy doesn't have slash commands

[vague grove]

well discord_slash

#discord-bots message

Still looking for a little help with this if possible

[bleak sparrow]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='p!')


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is on")

client.run = ('TOKEN')
``` I got a new pc and i tried running a basic bot but all im getting is exit code 0 and im not sure why

[opaque minnow]

try

client.run('token', bot=False)

[slate swan]

How would I make it so that after I execute a command, the bot still answers me even though I don't have to do the command again?

Example:
Me: !start
Bot: How are you, p4nic?
Me: Fine/Bad
Bot: keep answering...

If I said "fine" it would do something. If I said "bad" it would do something else.

[wicked atlas]

exit code 0 means that the program completed successfully, with no errors. Like said above, you need to call client.run, not reassign it.

[wicked atlas]

With discord.py, you can use wait_for

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.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**...

[prime marten]

anyone know how to make an shop/inventory system with sqlite3?

[slate swan]

ty

[bleak sparrow]

oh ok thx

[final iron]

Why are you setting the bot kwarg to false

[wicked atlas]

hmmmmmmmm

[opaque minnow]

selfbot lol

Not that I would do that of course

With it being against ToS and all

[final iron]

Mhm

[wicked atlas]

pretty sure they removed that kwarg too

[opaque minnow]

works fine for me

Anyone here well versed with python who thinks they could lend me a quick hand?

[quick gust]

just ask, this is the python server so there probably are people that can help :)

[opaque minnow]

I have several times haha no reply

[slate swan]

only on master branch

[opaque minnow]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

@novel apex

[quick gust]

hm sorry bud, not too sure tbh

[opaque minnow]

It's cool I'm sure someone would be able to help eventually 🙂

[boreal ravine]

in 1.5/1.7 iirc

[opaque minnow]

Yeah but how would I filter it out? re.sub only accepts a string not an array

tried so many different things to filter out bad chars lol

The funny thing if I copy that filename and create it manually it works

just python can't handle it

[solar anchor]

how can i count the amount of roles on a server

@Bot.command()
async def serverstats(ctx):
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Server stats {ctx.guild.name}")
    embed.add_field(name="Users:", value=ctx.guild.member_count, inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Roles:", value=ctx.guild.role_count, inline=False)
    #embed.add_field(name="Channels:", value=len(ctx.guild.channels), inline=False)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

len(guild.roles)

[solar anchor]

ii tried this but ya lol

[slate swan]

^

[solar anchor]

it doesnt know guild

[quick gust]

because its ctx.guild.roles in your case

what he gave was not so that u can just copy and paste

[hoary cargo]

why people don't use f strings

[maiden fable]

Lol

[surreal sierra]

hi, anyone knows why I get this problem?
this is the code

class main(commands.Cog):
    def init(self, Bot):
        self.bot = Bot

    def init(self, Bot):
        pass

    # Joins VC
    @commands.command()
    async def join(self, ctx):
        if ctx.author.voice is None:
            await ctx.send(f"Please, may {ctx.author} join a voice channel for me to direct to!")

        voice_channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
        if ctx.voice_bot is None:
            await voice_channel.connect()
        else:
            await ctx.voice_bot.move_to(voice_channel)

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(main(bot))

[solar anchor]

i did that right after i sent that pic but it didnt work lol

[cold sonnet]

bot=False???

[maiden fable]

ctx.bot.voice

[solar anchor]

this uh

[surreal sierra]

oh, jeez I keep doing these dumb mistakes

[quick gust]

what was the error?

[quick gust]

I'm guessing you removed len()

show what u did

[surreal sierra]

that didnt fix it, still getting errors

[maiden fable]

Show

[solar anchor]

i think i can fix myself

[quick gust]

thats not even where the error is lmao

[quick gust]

okay cool

[solar anchor]

oh shoot!

[maiden fable]

@surreal sierra u wanna check if the bot is there in a voice channel?

[surreal sierra]

yea, if the bot is not already in the voice channel it will join it

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.voice_client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.voice\_client

property voice_client: Optional[VoiceProtocol]```
Returns the [`VoiceProtocol`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceProtocol "discord.VoiceProtocol") associated with this guild, if any.

[solar anchor]

fixed it

[quick gust]

👍

[solar anchor]

thnx for the help guys

[maiden fable]

@slate swan what was that attr, something like bot.voice.channel no? I forgot the attr

[surreal sierra]

it works now, thanks!

[slate swan]

Guild.me.voice would not be NOne if the bot is in an vc

[maiden fable]

Oh, hmmm

[slate swan]

Guild.voice_client and Context.voice_client works too

[maiden fable]

Ah yea

ctx.voice_client

Wait, can we get the voice protocol of a member?

[slate swan]

probably not

[maiden fable]

Yea that's sad

[wicked atlas]

re.sub("[\\\/:*<>|]", "", filename)

[slate swan]

i never imagined using decorators for command arguments but now im doing it

[maiden fable]

Wym

[slate swan]

hikari things , they implemented prefix and slash commands together , and the arguments are accessed with Context.options.<argname>

for hikari-lb

@info_plugin.command
@add_cooldown(10, 2, bucket=UserBucket)
@option(
    name="emoji",
    description="Emojo to get information about",
    type=Emoji,
    required=True,
)
@command(name="emoji", description="Infor about an Custom Emoji", aliases=["emojiinfo"])
@implements(PrefixCommand, SlashCommand)
async def emoji_info_cmd(ctx: Context):```
![pepe_feelinglow](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/729769345844248688.webp?size=128 "pepe_feelinglow")

but it kinda makes life easier by allowing prefix and slash command implements in the same function

[maiden fable]

Wait whaaa

But good implementation tho

BTW why can't u add args by adding them in function?? It's just sooo easier and readable

[slate swan]

also , the plugins ( yes , the cogs in hikari-lightbulb ) are too easy

[quick gust]

can I say that hikari is sexy

[slate swan]

fails for slash commands

[maiden fable]

Why

[slow fog]

Ass

[slate swan]

slash commands have optional args , so it would have been hard to add it along with prefix ones

[spring flax]

If the bot is only on two guilds, would there be cache issues on bot.get_guild andguild.get_member?

[maiden fable]

No?

[spring flax]

Meaning will they ever return None

[maiden fable]

Ah yess... Understandable

[spring flax]

this will work one hundred percent of the time right?

[slate swan]

😳 without any doubts

[maiden fable]

@spring flax cache never depends on the number of guilds, be it 2 or 200. It will be cached the same way always

[spring flax]

so are you saying get_member will always return a discord.Member object in my case?

[slate swan]

if you have member intents , yes

[maiden fable]

Well I don't really know about "always", but in most of the cases, provide the time and circumstances are normal, it should not return None

[slate swan]

and the ID Needs to be correct

[maiden fable]

And by normal, I mean stuff like correct ID (yes Sarthak), not having a connection issue and providing the bot with enough resources to run on

[spring flax]

it's for a modmail bot, so it's an on_message in DM's.

guild = bot.get_guild(ID)
guild.get_member(message.author.id)

But I prefer it working hundred percent of the time

[maiden fable]

BTW why u making your own modmail? Just saying, that it's already on GitHub, the original bot

[spring flax]

you mean this server's modmail?

or chambur's

[maiden fable]

Yea...

Both

The original one, made for entire discord, and this server's

Wait I ain't sure about @novel apex

[spring flax]

what's the original one?

the one by kyb3r?

[maiden fable]

Idk, I'm also confused now

There are soo many imposters

https://github.com/chamburr/modmail

This is the original bot, according to me

[spring flax]

i thought I read somewhere that it can't be hosted on windows

is that true?

[maiden fable]

Idk, I never hosted it

But I don't think there should be any issue

Since u r a Python Intermediate-Professional, and not a beginner or smth

[spring flax]

wait were you telling to use them or to fork and make my own version

[slate swan]

its from kyb3r

the original one

[pliant gulch]

The modmail bot made by kyb3r is the original one

You can tell by the dates the licenses were commit as well

Kyb3r first started the project in 2017 and chamburr started in 2019

[spring flax]

nope, complete beginner

honestly I find those bots too complicated

I mean I just need it for one server

And there are so many lines of code and files in Kyb3r's

[ripe ibex]

This is probably for of a python question rather than a discordpy one, but here it is.

I am sending an embed like this. EmCons.py is the name of the file where I'm storing embed constants. Talker is the function I've made to return the embed.

await channel.send(embed=EmCons.Talker(ctx.author.id ,message)) #How I'm calling it

def Talker(intman:int , message):
    return Embed(title=f"Message from {hex(intman)[2:]}: ", description=f"{message}", color=0xff69b4)

This is the function in the EmCons file. This gives me the error

Command raised an exception: TypeError: Talker() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

The same code worked fine when I only had message as an argument. Not sure where I'm going wrong.

[maiden fable]

Same, but no complaining if u r learning new things

[quaint epoch]

is there an event for error handling in the on_message event?

[prime inlet]

im tryna run my bot but this keeps coming up, any ideas on what the problem is?

[quaint epoch]

like on_message_error or smth?

[quaint epoch]

uh

you spelt client wrong

oh

[prime inlet]

thx

im an idiot

[quaint epoch]

it's fine

although it's better to use discord.ext.command.Bot instead of client

but it's your choice

[twin moon]

yes

[twin moon]

any help?

commands.Cog?

[native wedge]

are you using freecodecamp

[prime inlet]

ye

[twin moon]

then

class cmd(commands.Cog):```

[native wedge]

https://vcokltfre.dev/
try this

[prime inlet]

thx

[native wedge]

it will make sure you use cogs and make better habits yknow

[prime inlet]

ok

[rough wadi]

You miss spelled client you put cleint

[prime inlet]

i saw

[rough wadi]

Kk

[final iron]

So I changed my system to always have my database open

Now what?

Do I need to change anything else?

[maiden fable]

Damn my bot is in a server with 1k people 😬

And it just joined it

[prime inlet]

nice

[final iron]

Would I just remove the parts where I open and close the database?

Also, do I need to like refresh it or smth

[maiden fable]

As long as u r commiting everytime, no

Oh hi there link

[final iron]

Aight

Time to refactor my 60 commands

[maiden fable]

Yay

[static lintel]

HI! I wanted to tell you that i figured out what was wrong LOL

[maiden fable]

But then, it's just one single line of code

[maiden fable]

Mind enlightening me?

[static lintel]

so one of the solutions you gave me did end up working but I had typed it in wrong initially. turns out that doing pip3 install ‘DiscordUtils[voice]’ worked but it needed to be exactly like that since I was on a mac so it was using a zch shell

[maiden fable]

Wait, what were u writing then?

If u weren't writing that

[static lintel]

I think I had dropped the single quotes and did pip instead of pip3

but seriously man I have to thank you for working so hard to try and solve my problem. Genuinely appreciate it very much

[maiden fable]

Weird... Nothing like that on Windows

[maiden fable]

It's fine, @slate swan actually helped u more than i did haha

[static lintel]

yeah this chat and all it’s help is amazing

[maiden fable]

Agreed

trim your description to an adequate size

that way it's a "preview"

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.

[subtle frigate]

what should I write so that it also calculates compound interest

[maiden fable]

Also would be better to use the math lib

!d math

[unkempt canyon]

math

This module provides access to the mathematical functions defined by the C standard.

These functions cannot be used with complex numbers; use the functions of the same name from the cmath module if you require support for complex numbers. The distinction between functions which support complex numbers and those which don’t is made since most users do not want to learn quite as much mathematics as required to understand complex numbers. Receiving an exception instead of a complex result allows earlier detection of the unexpected complex number used as a parameter, so that the programmer can determine how and why it was generated in the first place.

[twin moon]

help?

[subtle frigate]

ok

[maiden fable]

we told u

[slate swan]

he's already using it tho

he used math.sqrt

[maiden fable]

Oh mb

Didn't see

[slate swan]

you should claim a help channel

seems like a bit of a big problem to solve here

[subtle frigate]

help?

[slate swan]

that's more of a math problem

let's break it down:

CI = P( 1 + r/100)n - P

P = the amount we start with
