[final iron]

Option 1, 2 or 3

Would I use 3?

[fervent shard]

i coded them in blocks and the command doesnt work

[slate swan]

why the heck do people ask for pay jobs for just an easy issue when theres many people who can solve the issue for** FREE**

save your money kids

[tiny ibex]

Anyone?

[slate swan]

youll need to update the view

with new buttons

[final iron]

gn yall. Tmr I think ill make a info command with ping, uptime, cpu usage, ram usage the system specs and how many commands have been run

[slate swan]

yo thats lit gn

[tiny ibex]

That's what I don't want to!

[slate swan]

then whats the problem?

[tiny ibex]

Just make button roles IG

[potent spear]

just comment out the error handlers, as mentioned earlier

[slate swan]

yeah but you want to update the buttons so you know how ?

but your asking on how to?

[tiny ibex]

Update the buttonS?

Why?

I don't wanna update buttons

[slate swan]

^

[tiny ibex]

I don't want the old buttons to go useless!

[slate swan]

if your bot restarts it will not listen to those buttons which you will need to update the view with those same buttons

[tiny ibex]

There must be a solution?

[slate swan]

and i gaved it

[tiny ibex]

That it will listen even after restart?

[slate swan]

nope

[tiny ibex]

Oh well imma try editing the message then with new buttons

[slate swan]

with new buttons thats all you have to do

yes

[tiny ibex]

It's gonna lag a lot.......

[slate swan]

not really

[tiny ibex]

Like I restart my bot many times

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

.topic

[lament depot]

**Do you think there's a way in which Discord could handle bots better?**

Suggest more topics here!

[final iron]

I feel like a lot of people would have some opinions on this

Imo, either not force slash commands or add a higher/no cap to the amount of commands you can have

[fervent shard]

what does await member.warn(embed=em) do?

[potent spear]

where did you get it from?

[tiny ibex]

Can someone explain this error
disnake.errors.ClientException: Callback for prepare command is missing "ctx" parameter.

[tiny ibex]

.warn() is not a thing

[final iron]

^

[final iron]

Im out on a limb but did you add ctx?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.warn doesnt exist

[final iron]

Give you an error

[unkempt canyon]

I don't think so.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[tiny ibex]

Oh sir I forgot to add self

Me dumb forgot it is in a cog

[fervent shard]

how can i make a code for warning a member?

[final iron]

Since discord has no warning system you would have to do it yourself

You would log the warn and DM the user

Also check if they have reached the amount of warns you want to punish then at

[slate swan]

save the warns in a db

[final iron]

That's what I mean log

[fervent shard]

how can i log a warn? is there any examples

[final iron]

Poor choice of words

[final iron]

You would log it in to a database

[slate swan]

Audit log too

[maiden fable]

The reason they have a cap, is so that people don't make useless commands and finish their system's data storage or smth haha... But yea, they should increase it at least for verified bots

[slate swan]

UPDATE my_table SET col2 = col2 + 1 WHERE col1 = "whatever"

that easy

[final iron]

Never learnt update

Why use it instead of replace?

[fervent shard]

would this one work?

def save_warn(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    with open('warns.json', 'r') as f:
         warns = json.load(f)
 
         warns[str(member.id)] += 1
 
    with open('warns.json', 'w') as f:
         json.dump(warns, f)
 
def remove_warn(ctx, member: discord.Member, amount: int):
    with open('warns.json', 'r') as f:
         warns = json.load(f)
 
         warns[str(member.id)] -= amount
 
    with open('warns.json', 'w') as f:
         json.dump(warns, f)
 
def warns_check(member: discord.Member):
    with open('warns.json', 'r') as f:
         warns = json.load(f)
 
         return warns[str(member.id)]```

[final iron]

You tell me

Run it and see

[slate swan]

it just updates a column lol

why json smh

[slate swan]

Trend

[sage otter]

Wtf you mean you never learned UPDATE? How tf you been updating values? Deleting and re-inserting?

[slate swan]

fr

[slate swan]

prob

[final iron]

Honestly I forgor

[slate swan]

😭

[potent spear]

are you counting the warnings?
bad implementation, you should get a history of all his warnings, not the latest one
(by replacing)
=> rapidly changing dimensions

[final iron]

Should I actually learn how to use update?

[slate swan]

i just set the amount but you can add more it was just a simple example

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

not unless you use it

[sage otter]

Why tf would anyone not use it?

[final iron]

[potent spear]

if you don't update values ig

only using CR(U)D is not uncommon

[final iron]

I don't have a use case for update yet

So it's not going to be high on my priority list

[sage otter]

so what if you do need to update a value? when is not updating something ever a thing in software that’s actually good.

[potent spear]

not every command is edit or whatever, I don't use moderation in my private bot

[maiden fable]

how did y'all become DB Experts all of a sudden

[potent spear]

if you wanted to update a value ofc I'd use update lmao, I won't delete and create

[final iron]

Okay so tmr I need to learn how to use run_in_executor, make an info command and then I'll learn update

[potent spear]

run_in_exec is ONLY if you can't find an async wrapper ig

[final iron]

Yup

[final iron]

No async wrapper for psutil

Well that I could find

[potent spear]

there are certainly alternative I think

[final iron]

Couldn't find anything for cross platform

[waxen rose]

hello

[sage otter]

why do you need an async wrapper for psutil. All it does is collect data about the system

[waxen rose]

help

[final iron]

I need it to work for windows, Linux and raspbien (raspberry pi)

[final iron]

System resources

[maiden fable]

psutil isn't that much blocking

[potent spear]

yeah, it's speedy AF

[final iron]

Still

Why not use run_in_executor?

[potent spear]

yeah, I know what you think, even if I won't notice, I'd like it async too

[maiden fable]

Well, it's as much blocking as print is

[waxen rose]

hellp

[maiden fable]

I don't use repl, sorry

[potent spear]

I guess google will help you on that error the for sure some other users have on that platform

[fervent shard]

theres no file called "main.py" you need one called that if you want to host your bot or so that your repl doesnt die.

[final iron]

I'd still prefer to have everything 100% async

[maiden fable]

I mean, psutil is hardly blocking bruv

[waxen rose]

there is

:\

[maiden fable]

It doesn't do any heavy processing

[fervent shard]

well is ur code in the main.py file?

[final iron]

That's not the point. I just want everything to be actually async

I understand it's not going to affect anything

Just some primal urge in me to make everything async

[maiden fable]

async def print(*args, **kwargs):
    print(*args, **kwargs) 

async print :DDD

[sage otter]

but why tho. doesn’t run_in_executor spin a new thread up just to run that sync function separately.

[maiden fable]

Yea

[sage otter]

do you even know how much processing power that takes

[tiny ibex]

Can someone point out on what's wrong

import disnake

[maiden fable]

Too much lol

[maiden fable]

Too much processing power for a thing which is hardly blocking

[maiden fable]

U tell us

[final iron]

Okay fine

[fervent shard]

when u created the repl, did u tap "python" and not any other language?

[final iron]

I won't add the executor

[waxen rose]

yes

[tiny ibex]

  File "c:\Users\phoen\OneDrive\Desktop\nox-bot\cogs\button_roles.py", line 36, in on_ready
    self.add_view(PersistentView())
AttributeError: 'button_roles' object has no attribute 'add_view'```

[fervent shard]

is ur main code for ur bot in the main.py file

[waxen rose]

yes

[maiden fable]

@final iron we ain't discouraging u to not use executor, we are just telling u it's useless since the lib isn't that blocking and u r just gonna waste your processing power

[fervent shard]

can i see ur code

[final iron]

Yeah I understand

[maiden fable]

self.bot.add_view()

[sage otter]

why are you guys talking about repl problems in this channel :/

[waxen rose]

dms

[fervent shard]

ok

[waxen rose]

?

[waxen rose]

can we meet 11

have class

bye

[fervent shard]

no

[tiny ibex]

Ah tysm

[fervent shard]

get help at that time i aint doing anything

[waxen rose]

sent request

[fervent shard]

ok but youre not gonna tell me at another time

[slate swan]

how do i make a afk cmd?

[fervent shard]

by coding

[sage otter]

Just a tip. If it’s saying file not found and it’s obviously there. Your working directory probably isn’t right

[slate swan]

bruh

[fervent shard]

what do u expect it to be then?

[sage otter]

Scan for messages using on_message() if the message has any mentions(Message.mentions) process them and fetch the mentioned person's afk message from your data storage device and send it.

at least that’s what you’d do if you're looking for an afk system like dynos or something.

[tiny ibex]

How to get button's clicker??

In dpy 2.0

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[tiny ibex]

Soo... author = Interaction.user?

[slate swan]

sure

[tiny ibex]

Hmm tysm

[slate swan]

Interaction being the discord.Interaction object u get

[tiny ibex]

Interaction.user

[tiny ibex]

What and what is discord.Interaction

And how to get it

[slate swan]

discord.Interaction is a class , the button click response you get is an instance of it

[slate swan]

the button_click event...

ur using disnake right?

[tiny ibex]

Yup

[slate swan]

!d disnake.on_button_click

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.on\_button\_click

disnake.on_button_click(interaction)```
Called when a button is clicked.

Warning

Consider using the callbacks associated with the [`View`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.ui.View "disnake.ui.View") instead.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

notice the interaction arg , its a discord.Interaction object

[sage otter]

Heed the warning. Views were made for for a reason. 👌

[tiny ibex]

Dude but why do I need to call that event 😕

Sounds Shit NGL

[slate swan]

you either would use that event , or use the view's callback

how else are you supposed to get the response?

its like saying i want to get who joined a server , but i wont use on_member_join

[tiny ibex]

view's callback 👀

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.Button.callback

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.callback

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

The callback associated with this UI item.

This can be overriden by subclasses.

[slate swan]

this , its a function you will make

not much difference than using on_button_click event but will save u from checking that the button was clicked on what message

[tiny ibex]

thanks!

[maiden fable]

Idk why some people hate ui.View implementation, it's just soooo clean

[vale wing]

Ikr

Maybe classes look complicated to most of starters

[echo wasp]

Ok on a welcome message do you know how to exclude a server or create a list?

[vale wing]

You need to check the member.guild.id

[echo wasp]

Would you like some code to help?

[slate swan]

!d discord.CategoryChannel.channels

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel.channels

property channels: List[GuildChannelType]```
Returns the channels that are under this category.

These are sorted by the official Discord UI, which places voice channels below the text channels.

[slate swan]

^

1 moment

[tiny ibex]

    @disnake.ui.button(
        label="Male", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.blurple, custom_id="persistent_view:male"
    )
    async def male(self, button: disnake.ui.Button, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction):
        guild = interaction.guild
        male = guild.get_role(810264985258164255)
        user = interaction.author
        await user.add_roles(male)
        await interaction.response.send_message("Male role was successfully added!", ephemeral=True)```

What's the issue with this??

[slate swan]

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.set\_permissions

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

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

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

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

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

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

[steel slate]

hey when one of your get a chance can you go down to #help-rice ?

[slate swan]

ah

well then use permissions_for

[tiny ibex]

can someone tell what's wrong here??

[slate swan]

error pls

[tiny ibex]

Ignoring exception in view <PersistentView timeout=None children=4> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Male' emoji=None row=None>:

[slate swan]

the role variable is None , which means the id you provided in get_role is invalid

[tiny ibex]

It ain't 😕

[slate swan]

welll thats what the error says

[tiny ibex]

duh-

[slate swan]

why not ? channel.permissions_for(role/member) i dont see anything not making sense here

whats the difference between Member.premium_since and Profile.premium_since

Profile.premium_since is not a thing , Member.premium_since is

[maiden fable]

Yea, the Profile class is depreciated now

@slate swan your status BTW

[slate swan]

oh damn i forgor

time to study ig

[edgy finch]

ig?

[maiden fable]

I guess

!d discord.Member.permissions_in

Wait what

Ah, it's a typo

permissions_for

Not permission_for

[steel slate]

hey can someone check this to make sure it looks right the guy that was helping went to study https://paste.pythondiscord.com/afakuhuhef.py

[cloud dawn]

Why is the id in <>

Member,guild.id?

[slate swan]

permissions , not permission

[cloud dawn]

Hunter pointed that out

[maiden fable]

@slate swan

[sage otter]

Requires a role object.

[slate swan]

I got no self control lol

Wrong reply

[maiden fable]

Lol

[slate swan]

triggered I got no self control lol

[maiden fable]

Same don't worry

!d discord.Guild.get_role use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

[slate swan]

The longest break i took from discord was for 13 hrs

[cloud dawn]

I assume the get is the utils function pretty bad naming

[maiden fable]

The longest break I took was, uhh, 3-4 days Or smth

[maiden fable]

Yes it is

[cloud dawn]

1 day the past 3 weeks

[maiden fable]

Lol

[cloud dawn]

Been awhile since I really didn't do anything a whole day

!d discord.TextChannel.permissions_for

[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...

[cloud dawn]

Some code?

Dunno gotta search the syntax for it on the docs

I'm on phone rn

[boreal ravine]

what was the profile class for?

[maiden fable]

For badges and stuff

[boreal ravine]

looking at the error, permissions_for needs a member object

[maiden fable]

Nitro badge, booster and stuff

[potent spear]

alright, wanna know what's off?

[boreal ravine]

oh

[potent spear]

the problem is this:
permissions_for accepts a Role or Member object on v2+ (https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.permissions_for)
but it doesn't on v1.7.3 (https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/v1.7.3/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for)
conclusion: you can update if you want to BUT you'll have to take a look at breaking changes

[boreal ravine]

what sniper said

[potent spear]

you're on v1.7.3 mate

the docs you're looking at are master (v2+)

well, now you don't anymore apparently

you can verify this by
print(discord.__version__)

make sure to read the breaking changes

there must be

I guess you could just use role.permissions

not sure if it's can be changed per channel... I don't do moderation bots

[boreal ravine]

probably isn't

[cloud dawn]

You can

[velvet tinsel]

afaik yes

[surreal blade]

does anyone have a sample piece of code where their bot sends a confirmation message and awaits for a reaction to continue the function, could obv work it out myself if no one has one on hand theyre willing to share

but figured someone would have something similar available here

[oak warren]

docs do

[surreal blade]

oh cool, any idea what its listed under

[oak warren]

bruh

[surreal blade]

wait_for,, ill find it

ty

i can look it up but appreciate trying to wrangle Python to help

[oak warren]

!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**...

[oak warren]

finally

[cloud dawn]

Ye commands

[surreal blade]

haha nice job

[cloud dawn]

I am typing on my phone ;-;

[oak warren]

this has the example

[surreal blade]

yep it does, thanks

[velvet tinsel]

RIP

[cloud dawn]

I highly recommend using the search function on the docs it saves a lot of time asking this question here.

[surreal blade]

would have searched wait_for like i said if i knew an example was listed there

[maiden fable]

Basically all those things which u can see on a user profile

[boreal ravine]

so they got renamed to flags?

[maiden fable]

Yea, for whatever reason

[boreal ravine]

PublicFlags iirc

[maiden fable]

!d discord.UserFlags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.UserFlags

class discord.UserFlags```
Represents Discord User flags.

[maiden fable]

Yea

[boreal ravine]

hm

[cloud dawn]

You could also save aliases of them if they change their name

[maiden fable]

Ngl, I liked the discord.Profile implement

[steel slate]

how do you get a discord bot to create an invite and print it in the termanal

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[steel slate]

hmmmm i'll have to try it

[pine crown]

@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
@client.slash_command(description="Unbans a user")
async def unban(ctx, *, member):
  banned_users = await ctx.guild.bans()
  member_name, member_discriminator = member.split('#')

  for ban_entry in banned_users:
    user = ban_entry.user
  
  if (user.name, user.discriminator) == (member_name, member_discriminator):
    await ctx.guild.unban(user)
    embed=disnake.Embed(color=0x00d60e, title=f"Successfully unbanned {user}", description=f"Unbanned {user} by {ctx.author.mention}")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    return

how to make this so that if they entered a wrong username and tag it will send that it is wrong

[maiden fable]

Lucas Unban

Rip

[potent spear]

error says it all?

[maiden fable]

U can't have two cogs with the same name

Then u r trying to reload a cog that's already loaded

Idk

Yea

The file named maincogs is causing the error

Ah I see the error

discord_slash is causing it most probably

Ah

told u, no two cogs with the same name

(:

BTW a fork like disnake or pycord or smth would be preferred instead of dpy 2.0

[shadow wraith]

as a disnake user, its good

disnake has timeouts 😍

uh

this thing

yeah but i dont think it was "new" but sure you can call it new

[placid skiff]

disnake is a really good fork, d.py is not maintained anymore so more API's are updated more it will became useless

[steel slate]

how would you make a create invite and send it to your dms?

[shadow wraith]

no, but don't do import disnake as discord just search replace it

just tell us if you get any errors whilst switching

[maiden fable]

Yea... They gonna get updated with new features

[shadow wraith]

np

[steel slate]

how did you create the 9 months ago in your about me?

[shadow wraith]

uh read discord message formatting guide

[maiden fable]

Yea

[steel slate]

how would you make a create invite and send it to your dms?

[placid skiff]

it's a fork based on d.py, it has all his features

[quick gust]

It has everything discord.py has, and more

[placid skiff]

Of course

it's because disnake has slash commands

[quick gust]

disnake has built in slash commands, you don't need the package to work with disnake (as tvrsier said)

[green bluff]

how do i find the unicode of certain emojis

[quick gust]

you can put a backslash before an emoji (on discord) and get the unicode

or copy it from google

[green bluff]

oh cool thanks

[quick gust]

Yes

[green bluff]

wait so can i just do

await msg.add_reaction(':tada:)

[quick gust]

\👍

you could (u didnt close the string lol)

[green bluff]

yeh oops

[green bluff]

wait can i not add u before the string

or do i have to is the u necessary

[quick gust]

?

I thought you were talking about that only

[fervent shard]

could anyone help me with making a warn command?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/umapuqonar.py

[green bluff]

(u':tada:')

do i have to add the u

[quick gust]

not necesarry

[green bluff]

thanks

[quick gust]

i dont even know what the "u" does

[green bluff]

oh i think its for unicodes idk

[fervent shard]

now tap enter and copy the thing that the message changes to

[quick gust]

I know lol, I was showing them

uh not too sure, I haven't worked with slash commands much

[fervent shard]

okay then

[steel slate]

so I am in a server on another account with my bot in it i want it to create an invite into the server and send it to me is that possible

i can't run a command from it

[fervent shard]

create an invite to invite the bot or to join the server

[steel slate]

that is the easy way i want to do it with my bot

[fervent shard]

i know i am asking u do u want ur bot to send u an invite to invite the bot or to join the server

thats the whole point of this channel.

discord bots

[steel slate]

join the server

that my bot is in

[fervent shard]

yeah i dont think its possible either way unless you and youre bot are in a mutual server

[steel slate]

we are

[slate swan]

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.create_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[fervent shard]

the account youre in now

[steel slate]

yes

[fervent shard]

well what do u have in your code now?

[steel slate]

umm let me get it

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

the dm one gives you an invite from where you sent the command

[steel slate]

the paste it

[fervent shard]

i know

[honest vessel]

make command in bot dm

create invites from all servers its in n return to u in dm

[fervent shard]

so if u want ur bot to dm u a server invite its like this

@bot.command()
async def dm (ctx,member : discord.Member):
  await member.send('put in the server invite here')```
i think, not 100%
the way u use it is "{prefix}dm {user}"

[steel slate]

right

[steel slate]

how would you do that i am not very in depth but i know the basics of it

[fervent shard]

does it work

[cloud dawn]

ctx and inter are different things..?

[fervent shard]

yes, it works, use it

[cloud dawn]

@bot.slash_command()
async def hello(inter):
    """ Responds with 'World' """
    await inter.send("World")
``` shortest way, docstring will still apply as description.

inter is for slash commands, ctx is not

[steel slate]

i don't have a invite to give it that the prob

[maiden fable]

@cedar smelt the name can by anything, what matters is the class instance it's from

[fervent shard]

get the invite from ur other account

[cloud dawn]

You are using Disnake?

[haughty oxide]

!voice verify

[unkempt canyon]

Voice verification

Can’t talk in voice chat? Check out #voice-verification to get access. The criteria for verifying are specified there.

[cloud dawn]

Then both methods work

[fervent shard]

use that in #bot-commands

[haughty oxide]

i did

[fervent shard]

why are u using it in discord bots?

[haughty oxide]

i dont know

this channel is for bots right?

[fervent shard]

dont use it here 😐

[haughty oxide]

ok

[fervent shard]

ok

[slate swan]

can anyone please help me figure out how to have main.py run the bot and have my commands written and "stored" in Commands.py?

[steel slate]

not the point why i replied to #!/usr/bin/python3 is because he said what i was looking for i jjust dont know how to build it.

[fervent shard]

ok look do u have access to ur other account?

[steel slate]

no because it is protected by 2fa and i don't have that for another 8 hours

[green bluff]

whats wrong

[fervent shard]

if u want to generate an invite link do

@bot.command()
async def invite (ctx,member : discord.Member):
 invite = await ctx.channel.create_invite()
 await member.send(invite)```

[slate swan]

.

[fervent shard]

await member.send dms the user an invite link

[green bluff]

can someone help me

[honest vessel]

cogs

[slate swan]

wat

[fervent shard]

with?

[slate swan]

cogs?

[fervent shard]

yeah

lol

[green bluff]

can someone help me with this

[steel slate]

how do i start it

[fervent shard]

wdym-

[green bluff]

fvindi can u help me what does it mean by list index out of range

[tawdry perch]

lets say list have 2 items and you try to get the 3rd one that does not exists

[fervent shard]

not that great with errors, nor have i got it before

[honest vessel]

your list dosnt work cause of +1

[fervent shard]

just copy and paste this

@bot.command()
async def invite (ctx,member : discord.Member):
 invite = await ctx.channel.create_invite()
 await member.send(invite)```

[thick sigil]

no, its because of the indexing

[green bluff]

then what do i do to replace that

[steel slate]

do i do &createinvites or wut

[honest vessel]

its like list = [1, 2] print(list[3])

[green bluff]

what would i do?

[fervent shard]

whats ur prefix

[green bluff]

do i delete the +1

[tawdry perch]

print the list and see what it gives

[green bluff]

so just print(variable)

right

[tawdry perch]

ye

[steel slate]

&

[fervent shard]

yes do that

[steel slate]

just the prefix? or a thing behind it

[green bluff]

i cant print it if i dont call it and when i call it i get this error

[fervent shard]

omg

[honest vessel]

prob that -1?

[green bluff]

what do i change that to or do i remove it

[fervent shard]

do u know how to use commands and prefixs?

[steel slate]

i did what you said https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/834518687586582618/933282855029731328/unknown.png

[green bluff]

lemme try

[tawdry perch]

example_list = ["foo","bar","foobar"]
print(example_list[3]) # trying to get 4th item from list, but that does not exists, so it raises error
``` also you are trying to get negative item from list for what I can see

[green bluff]

oh

so it goes from 0

[potent spear]

let me guess your problem
category.channels[-1].name doesn't contain a '-'
result => split 1 is out of range

[steel slate]

yea i have my whole bot made of them

[green bluff]

so instead of listing 3 list 2

[tawdry perch]

0 = first item from list

[fervent shard]

bro when u asked me i said yes, so use &createinvites use ur knowledge

[green bluff]

so how would i call less

[tawdry perch]

call less..?

[green bluff]

oh wait

sorry

[honest vessel]

0 is first object

[green bluff]

do i do print([0])

[honest vessel]

category.channel[0] will select first channel

[green bluff]

ye

[potent spear]

problem is, the channels have a stinky order
better would be to get a channel via discord utils based on name

[honest vessel]

u can try print category.channels[0].name

[green bluff]

lemme try

[heavy radish]

Why?

[steel slate]

that didn't work would you like a go at it? https://goor.me/iWqBj that is the ide i am using rn

[green bluff]

lemme try

[tawdry perch]

launch time?

[heavy radish]

yes

[tawdry perch]

does not exist?

[heavy radish]

Imma just move to main.py

[fervent shard]

im not doing stuff for u, ive already given a code and u chose to do the other person's code so dont ask me

[heavy radish]

COG's don't work

[steel slate]

I put your code in

[fervent shard]

yeah and then what happened

did it say and error?

in the console

[tawdry perch]

can you print category.channels

[honest vessel]

@steel slatecodes pretty self-described too but i guess he lacking basic knowledge

[fervent shard]

literally

[steel slate]

i know that here is the thing i use these not the other way around

why does this no work

[steel slate]

i never use the bottem one so that why i ask multiple times

[potent spear]

you can create a role and give the ROLE permissions yk, instead of every channel lol

[honest vessel]

!serverinvite @raw wyvern @steel slate

or what ever prefix u have

[honest vessel]

this will not invite u from all servers its in tho, only from the servers channel you typing this command in, aka wont work throu dm with bot

[steel slate]

right hmm

[cloud dawn]

!d disnake.Member.timeout ?

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.timeout

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

Times out the member from the guild; until then, the member will not be able to interact with the guild.

Exactly one of `duration` or `until` must be provided. To remove a timeout, set one of the parameters to `None`.

You must have the [`Permissions.moderate_members`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Permissions.moderate_members "disnake.Permissions.moderate_members") permission to do this.

New in version 2.3.

[echo wasp]

is this for a cog or does it work normally aswell not in a cog

[honest vessel]

that should work in main

[echo wasp]

so i use client or bot do i replace commands with that or just copy and pasta

[cloud dawn]

@echo wasp idk what he wrote

[green bluff]

sure but how do i print without calling the command

[honest vessel]

you should edit it to bot.command if thats what u have

[cloud dawn]

That code is meant for cog so self should be passed first.

[honest vessel]

@cloud dawnit was but i assume he dont use cogs why i removed all self

so he has to change decoration

[steel slate]

i do not good guess but i know what they are

working on it

[quick gust]

you need to give it a list

[steel slate]

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

[honest vessel]

the indentation is pretty screwed tho what i can see

[steel slate]

here

[steel slate]

https://goor.me/iWqBj

[quick gust]

why do you have bot and client

keep one

[steel slate]

because of reasons

[quick gust]

ok

[green bluff]

can someone help me

[steel slate]

I use cleitn events

[runic ridge]

where can i learn python to start making a discord bot? i want a good source to learn pls

[honest vessel]

@steel slatefix all ur codes, it all functions has diffrent indentations

[steel slate]

nice goormide using the same

[steel slate]

ok give me 5 minutes

[green bluff]

?

[runic ridge]

uh anyone?

[echo wasp]

that is vscode my bad

[quick gust]

bot also has events, you can just use bot instead of client and bot but whatever

[green bluff]

ye its vscode can u help me on it

[quick gust]

!resources

they are all paid lmfao

too much copy pasta

[quick gust]

mhm

[quick gust]

iirc they're not?

https://www.pythondiscord.com/resources/videos/

Yeah they aren't

[steel slate]

lol it is how i found in docs lol

i follow close

i fixed it all now

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

[honest vessel]

not really

cant belive u dont get indentation errors

its still diffrent in all functions

sum has 2 space some has too many tabs

[echo wasp]

well it is a poopy ide so i usally use vscode but i am on chromebook rn so limited recources

[quick gust]

In that case I'd suggest online vsc

[echo wasp]

gitpod

[quick gust]

sure

have u tried that?

[echo wasp]

ye

let me login

[quick gust]

I'm pretty sure it won't give u so many indentation errors

Use that

[steel slate]

ok

[honest vessel]

explains why chromebooks so cheap, pure crap 😄

[steel slate]

lol

[steel slate]

ok i got it moved

now wut

[honest vessel]

ok so i ran this on my bot it worked in dm n dm:ed back invites from server

but this is inside a cog

[steel slate]

how do you make a cog i haven't experimented with them very much

[cloud dawn]

I'm sorry but this doesn't really seem appropriate.

[honest vessel]

@cloud dawnwhat u mean?

[steel slate]

you build it them if it is not right

[cloud dawn]

That this is not really appropriate code to place here.

[honest vessel]

why not ?

[steel slate]

wdym it is discord-bots

[honest vessel]

he wants bot to give him invites to servers his bot are in

[steel slate]

and that is what we are working on

so how do i make a cog for it?

[cloud dawn]

This raises a lot of privacy concerns for me.

[steel slate]

rn i know everyone that the bot is in a server with

[quick gust]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[honest vessel]

@cloud dawnnot for me i had a reason make it cause i did a server throu bot and needed bot to give invites to my discord account to access bots created server

nothing sketchy

and i dont selfbot so

[cloud dawn]

Let's halt this for now then, if you think i'm mistaken please contact @novel apex

[steel slate]

hmmm let me think

[honest vessel]

await self.bot.create_guild() how else u join ur servers

ofc u need bot to send u invites

[steel slate]

right i think i'll be talking to a modmail

[cloud dawn]

Still doesn't make it appropriate to create invite for every guild your bot is in.

[steel slate]

it is in 8 and i own half

[honest vessel]

its only in 1 guild, but i get it its bad code for a selfbotter

[cloud dawn]

There was a whole discussion on this yesterday as well.

selfbot or not, still raises concerns for me.

[steel slate]

nice

[honest vessel]

ok mods can delete code if they not like it

[cloud dawn]

Here is the discussion if interested -> https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/343944376055103488/932764478272061452

[steel slate]

ok with that i want to know my bot is etup for small not large and it does this every boot up ```@bot.event
async def on_ready():
for guild in client.guilds:
print(guild.name)
print(
f'{client.user} is connected to the following guild:\n'
f'{guild.name}(id: {guild.id})\n'
)

    members = '\n - '.join([member.name for member in guild.members])
    print(f'Guild Members:\n - {members}')``` it is a thing to make sure the bot sees them all so i don't get it

[honest vessel]

@cloud dawnoh well i see what u mean if lets say u have a public bot that peoples are using in their servers

for me its only 1 guild and my bot is private

but ofc i cant know what others bot are

[cloud dawn]

We don't know if that is the case, i understand if it is only in some private guilds or only my friends use it etc. But i've seen enough cases that people abused code highly in terms of self botting.

[echo wasp]

mine is small aswell and usally in heroku so i never get the guilds

[honest vessel]

@cloud dawnight i remove code then so no kids abuse it

[cloud dawn]

@echo wasp Sorry for the intrusion, thanks for understanding and being patient about contacting modmail

[echo wasp]

can we continue in dms so it is closed 1 and 1 so no one can just grab the code?

[echo wasp]

np i haven't quite yet i'm still stiring on it

[honest vessel]

u have the code already lol

[echo wasp]

what about issues?

[honest vessel]

play around learn how to make commands 😄

code is very simple

[cloud dawn]

Could you DM the code? I will ask modmail about this and when responded i will ping the usual helpers here in i private guild so we all know about it.

Some of the others also had some issues with this in the past.

[echo wasp]

I do now and then it is just some of these i don't get

[tawdry perch]

Print it before the error

[green bluff]

sorry im just going to sleep can we do this tmr?

ill dm u tmr

[tawdry perch]

If I happen to be online at x time

Sorry, I don't accept DMs

[honest vessel]

thats weird

@heavy radishoh u use member, but u named parameter user

Yea, I just figured

[tawdry perch]

member is just string, you can't mention it in this case

[honest vessel]

pretty selfexplained error

[fervent shard]

should i change it to user?

[tawdry perch]

Also the .send might cause error because the member was banned

[honest vessel]

no better make a typehint for member object

member: discord.Member

[tawdry perch]

But that user would be in guild?

[honest vessel]

u can post the discordID i think

[tawdry perch]

Wouldn't the typehint be discord.User instead

[fervent shard]

no, ive done it before on the ban/kick command so they're right 🙂

[tawdry perch]

But in those cases the user is in guild, both should work tho

[honest vessel]

@tawdry perchwell u can keep it as a string if u want - but then you need to fetch that member object

[tawdry perch]

But that member is not in guild?

[honest vessel]

user = await self.bot.fetch_user(user_discord_id)

and have discord id as parameter?

await ctx.guild.unban(user)

[fervent shard]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound: Member "fvndi#7450" not found.```

got another error

[cloud dawn]

I think fvndi#7450 cannot be found

``` here is my old unban code

[potent spear]

damn, that's useless

[cloud dawn]

[potent spear]

also sending that the user has been unbanned before he's actually unbanned is quite funny

[honest vessel]

i said its old n i dont use it 😄

[cloud dawn]

Bare except, key: value pep8 violation, reason isn't type hinted, cache isn't use -> instant fetch

[potent spear]

do you really need to typehint every single parameter tho? seems obvious sometimes, I'd only want a typehint if it needs to be converted

[cloud dawn]

member:discord.User calling member a user, then re-fetching the user ;-;

[honest vessel]

😄

i know

[cloud dawn]

Well yeah if everyone would typehint it would make reading code so much easier.

[potent spear]

Pandabweer be like I'm about to end this man's whole career

[potent spear]

In docs and for debugging other's code, I'd agree

[honest vessel]

yes very shitty code 🥲

[potent spear]

nah, you were already using cogs at that time, can't complain

[honest vessel]

lmao

thanks for morninglaughs

[placid skiff]

error?

[heavy radish]

none

[honest vessel]

shouldt await member.send("hi") be enough?

[heavy radish]

just doesn't work

true

[cloud dawn]

This looks like old code (sorry)
You don't need to create a dm before dm'ing anymore.

What you are doing right now is sending a message to a channel type.

[heavy radish]

Any idea why?

[royal oar]

does anyone know how to hide cogs from custom help commands?

[royal oar]

do i put that at the start?

[lyric flint]

Thank you

[lyric flint]

What do you mean by old code?

[honest vessel]

old as it used to be

discord.py has changed alot

[cloud dawn]

await member.create_dm()
``` This used to be the way to do it but not anymore.

[potent spear]

doesn't have intents

[cloud dawn]

Like 3 years ago

[maiden fable]

U will go mad with Vanilla JS, since there's no type checking in it

[steel slate]

@honest vessel can you dm me the cog version please for secutry reasons as why we had to halt

[maiden fable]

No work

[cloud dawn]

Also

[lyric flint]

@cloud dawn oh k

[potent spear]

you mean converters? since python doesn't really either 🤔

[maiden fable]

No, just a general type checking and type hinting is what am talking about

[royal oar]

where would i put that in my code? just after the class?

[potent spear]

everything is datatype any, I'd say?

[boreal ravine]

use ext.commands for commands and how can a discord.Role object be equal to a discord.PermissionOverwrite object?

doesn't make sense

[maiden fable]

Yes, iirc

[cloud dawn]

gl on that :))

[lyric flint]

@cloud dawn is still doesn't work

[cloud dawn]

If you then "release" your bot you turn off intents and debug your bot for the last time.

[honest vessel]

any errors?

[potent spear]

you forgot to tell him he has to enable it in discord portal too

[cloud dawn]

Have you enabled intents?

[honest vessel]

^

[lyric flint]

No

not my token

mine is in an .env file still

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

We're getting there

[cloud dawn]

Where?

[potent spear]

nvm, typehinting bot even? lol

can be a discord.Client too tho, not per se, but yeah

[honest vessel]

typehint-fascist

[cloud dawn]

Can also be disnake.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot

Or disnake.ext.commands.AutoShardedInteractionBot

Or disnake.AutoShardedClient

[potent spear]

that's what I'm saying abt the typehint stuff

"obvious shit" doesn't need to be imo

like I won't pass a string if it says bot or client lol

[vale wing]

Typehinting is for your comfort, if you typehint, your IDE/code editor will show you autocomplete suggestions based on type of an object

Your option would look to something like that

Option(

You need to provide the option in the decorator for the description.

How do I change data in an SQLite3 database with a discord command

/leaderboard update header: points update to: 1
Is what I want to do

I have the actual command, but it doesn't interact with the db

[tawdry perch]

what app is that you use to view this? (sorry non relevant to your question)

[final iron]

I use sqlite db browser

Check it out

[tawdry perch]

could you give the link?

[final iron]

https://sqlitebrowser.org

[tawdry perch]

thank you 😄

[final iron]

That's is not it

[tawdry perch]

oh

[final iron]

There

I made a typo

It's fixed now

[tawdry perch]

np, thx!

[slate swan]

Help?

[tawdry perch]

To start with it, you should start by making connection to that db
then: parse the arguments (eg) ```py
@commands.command()
async def update_db(self, ctx, amount: int):
async with aiosqlite.connect("db/path/here") as db:
await db.execute()

then do sql statements inside execute

[final iron]

You can just create a bot var so you don't have to open it all the time

[tawdry perch]

Ye, but that was just example. I made the mistake and didn't use botvar 😔

[heavy radish]

Heyy, WiFi died. WDYM? I don't have any role other than default roel

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_message(self, message):

    Lock = discord.PermissionOverwrite(send_messages=False)
    Role = message.guild.default_role
    if message.channel.id == 814207750342705164 and message.content.lower().startswith("rpg miniboss"):
      await message.channel.set_permissions(Role, overwrite=Unlock)
      await message.channel.send(f":white_check_mark: Unlocked {message.channel.name}")
      await asyncio.sleep(10.0)
    if Role == Unlock:
      await message.channel.set_permissions(Role, overwrite=Lock)
      await message.channel.send(f":white_check_mark: Locked Down {message.channel.name}")
``` The second part of the code doesn't work (after if role == unlock:)

[modest plover]

Termux (I'm on mobile)

[tawdry perch]

oh

[heavy radish]

heyy, can u help?

[tawdry perch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ask away

[tawdry perch]

are you comparing role obj to discord.PermissionsOverwrite?

[heavy radish]

yes

[tawdry perch]

that should never be True

[heavy radish]

I'm trying to overwrite a role

[tawdry perch]

discord.Role is not same as discord.PermissionsOverwrite

[heavy radish]

ok

[slate swan]

You can take a look at this issue I've been involved in yesterday
https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template/issues/51#issuecomment-1015315277

There is an example on how to make one.

[heavy radish]

How do I fix it?

[tawdry perch]

you are comparing 2 different objects to see if they are equal to, which they never be

[heavy radish]

Ahhhhh

[boreal ravine]

yeah

[heavy radish]

How do I fix it? Is there a discord.permission way

[boreal ravine]

thats the role I was talking about

[heavy radish]

i understand now

[tawdry perch]

what exactly are you trying to do?

[heavy radish]

Well

[tawdry perch]

I mean in if statement

[slate swan]

any help?

[heavy radish]

When someone does a command (for another bot) which starts with RPG miniboss, i'm opening the channel, after 1min, i'm closing it. Some times, people manually close the channel, for that instance, i'm using the if statement to check if its open, and if it is, close it

[tawdry perch]

and when you check if role == discord.PermissionsOverwrites. Are you trying to check if role has specific permission?

[heavy radish]

yes

[tawdry perch]

there should be method for it

[heavy radish]

Hmmm

[tawdry perch]

!d discord.Role | just for me to read the docs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role

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

[tawdry perch]

!d discord.Role.permissions perhaps this could work

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.permissions

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

[heavy radish]

Is this for me?

[slate swan]

Exactly

[tawdry perch]

ye

[heavy radish]

How will i use it?

[heavy radish]

Role = discord.permissions.Permissions

[tawdry perch]

no I mean, use that to get role permissions and then see if role has some specific perms

[heavy radish]

Umm

[tawdry perch]

sorry, I can't really explain it

[royal oar]

can someone help me with a cooldown on a command?

@commands.command()
    @commands.cooldown(1,20, commands.user)
    async def beg(self, ctx):
        await open_account(ctx.author)
        user = ctx.author
        users = await get_bank_data()

        earnings = random.randrange(1000)

        mbed = nextcord.Embed(title="**BEGGING?**", description=f"Someone gave you ${earnings}. Hope your grateful")
        mbed.set_footer(text="My child was begging, hope it was worth it")

        await ctx.send(embed=mbed)

        users[str(user.id)]["wallet"] += earnings

        with open("bank.json", 'w') as f:
            json.dump(users,f)

[heavy radish]

yea, i think i figured it

[slim ibex]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

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

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.

[royal oar]

Thank you

[hasty herald]

Hi guys, which one is prohibit send api?

[final iron]

Hmm?

[hasty herald]

for user

[hasty herald]

the timeout user

[final iron]

You want to know how to time someone out?

[hasty herald]

yes

[final iron]

What lib are you using?

[hasty herald]

discord.py

[final iron]

The timeout feature is not support on discord.py irrc

[maiden fable]

U gotta change the internals

[final iron]

Nope

[hasty herald]

how?

[final iron]

So you either need to use a fork or fuck with the internals

If you decide to go down the fork route I would suggest disnake

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[final iron]

Send the code so he can copy and paste

[hasty herald]

let me think..

[slate swan]

looks like you’re trying to find the size of an avatar when it’s type string

[slate swan]

ik i fixed it

good

[maiden fable]

Nah, am cool lol

[modest plover]

Do I need to do any imports or any pip package installs?

[tawdry perch]

Well my example used aiosqlite

!pypi aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.17.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[modest plover]

Ok

Does aiosqlite have the same syntax and all that to SQLite3?

[honest vessel]

yes

i think so tho

[tawdry perch]

It does

[modest plover]

@tawdry perch can I have two tables in one database file?

[tawdry perch]

Sure, multiple ones

[modest plover]

Ok

[haughty quartz]

how can i have per server settings? (i wanna link a channel to the bot)

[dreamy sluice]

I am trying to make a sell command, and I want to make it such that, the user can input the item name (with spaces), along with the quantity in the same line. How do I go about separating both?

[slate swan]

how do i get a channel by its id?

[haughty quartz]

wdym

[slate swan]

i mean message sorry

[haughty quartz]

message.channel.id

[slate swan]

like ctx.guild.get_message(id)

[slate swan]

what will this return?

[haughty quartz]

what do you want it to return?

[dreamy sluice]

An int value of the channel id.

[slate swan]

well, i wanted a message not channel

[dreamy sluice]

You mean the actual message object?

[slate swan]

yes

[dreamy sluice]

Oh

[haughty quartz]

u wanna get message id?

[dreamy sluice]

You can just do ctx.message

[slate swan]

well, i dont want to get the ctx message

[dreamy sluice]

it returns the message object of the message which has the command

[slate swan]

i want to get a specific message with its ID

[dreamy sluice]

using it's ID?

[slate swan]

yes

[haughty quartz]

ahh

idk lol

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61851174/how-to-get-message-by-id-discord-py @slate swan

[dreamy sluice]

can someone help me here?

[slate swan]

thx!

[slate swan]

you can use bot.wait_for for that

[slate swan]

you just need to use two different keyword arguments for that

async def(ctx, item, price):```

if the items names have spaces in them, that's a little bit more trouble

he told us that the price and item strings will be a few words conceted with spaces

because the way discord.py and it's forks parse arguments it will consider the second part of the name as the price

[dreamy sluice]

Nah, I wanna do it single line

[dreamy sluice]

Thing is,

[slate swan]

in that case you could just invert the order and have no more issues

[dreamy sluice]

I implied that the item name would have a space in it

[slate swan]

async def sell(ctx, price, *, item)```

as long as you indicate price first, everything else will be considered the item

[dreamy sluice]

What does the * do?

[royal oar]

With a currency bot when i have a nickname it changes the id of the user to someone else is their a way to fix this at all?

[slate swan]

it makes discord.py consider the rest of the string as the item

[dreamy sluice]

Oh ok

[slate swan]

prefix sell 90 Some Cool Thing

item = "Some Cool Thing"

does that work for you?

[dreamy sluice]

Oh and

One more question

How can I detect if the user has skipped giving the price value?

[slate swan]

well because of the way the example i showed you is defined

if the price or the item name is missing

it will throw an error called MissingRequiredArgument

[dreamy sluice]

Ah

[slate swan]

do you know what an error handler is?

[dreamy sluice]

Yep

[slate swan]

and do you have one?

[dreamy sluice]

I just do commands.MissingRequiredArgument?

[dreamy sluice]

ye I do

[slate swan]

yeah just make a case for that then

[dreamy sluice]

Okeh

[slate swan]

commands.MissingRequiredArgument yes

[dreamy sluice]

thanks

[slate swan]

you're welcome

[brittle flume]

So i was makng a command that replies 'wassup' when someone sends a message and it contains hi or hello, but it is not working!
Code:

greet_inputs = ['hello', 'hi', 'wassup']
@bot.event 
async def on_meassage(msg):
  if mgs.user == bot.user:
    return
  for greets in greet_inputs:
    if greets in str(msg.content).lower():
      await msg.channel.send(f'wassup {str(msg.author)[:-5]}!')
      break
    
  await bot.process_commands(msg)

Output:

No errors. Just not working even if the message contains hi or hello

[honest shoal]

greets is not defined

[sacred scroll]

Why iterate?
just

 ...```

[brittle flume]

Greets is the item which I get in each loop

From greet_inputs

[honest shoal]

hm

and this looks like a typo to me

[brittle flume]

Oh yea lol

Ty

[brittle flume]

Like this?

  if message.content in greet_inputs:
    await msg.channel.send(f'wassup {str(msg.author)[:-5]}!')
