how can i make bot create text channel with embed in it ?

[quaint scaffold]

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

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

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

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

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

Note

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

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=Embed.Empty, color=Embed.Empty, title=Embed.Empty, type='rich', url=Embed.Empty, description=Embed.Empty, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

[quaint scaffold]

The documentation offers all the necessary resources, if you are stuck on the actual execution or construction, ask for help.

[quick gust]

yes

[quaint scaffold]

Fyi you can remove the string slice and replace it with the .display_name / .name attribute of a discord.Member object

[jovial osprey]

i dont know how to put it into the create_text_channel code

[quaint scaffold]

You just need to supply the kwargs you want, you can do this in one line

e.g. name = 'general-chat'

discord.py was not intended to be used by beginners, if you find the concept of kwargs or async code confusing, please learn that first

[wary ice]

how can i put mobile phone status on the boot

[quaint scaffold]

It's not advised to do so, it's a bug in the Discord API and will be patched. Bots shouldn't have mobile statuses

[wary ice]

Ok

@bot.command()

[kindred epoch]

get_bans isn't a thing

[slim whale]

how i can do it?

[quaint scaffold]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

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

Retrieves all the users that are banned from the guild as a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

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

[kindred epoch]

You don't need to iterate through the list/ you don't even need to get all the bans from the guild.

!d disnake.Guild.unban

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Guild.unban

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

Unbans a user from the guild.

The user must meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.abc.Snowflake "disnake.abc.Snowflake") abc.

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

[kindred epoch]

Just use that

[slim whale]

so like server.bans()

[kindred epoch]

.

[slim whale]

okay

i'm going to check it

thank u guys

[kindred epoch]

Just use this

If the member is not banned it will raise an error

[quaint scaffold]

You will need to iterate through the entire guilds' bans to unban more than one person

Fyi sending 1700 consecutive API requests to Discord to unban that many people will have your bot ratelimited

And IP blocked temporarily

[jade sinew]

Helloo, so i think this is more of a replit problem than actual bug int he code. so i put my discord bot code into replit and then ran it, and instead of running it gave me this error: ```
Because no versions of discord match >1.7.3,<2.0.0
and discord (1.7.3) depends on discord.py (>=1.7.3), discord (>=1.7.3,<2.0.0) requires discord.py (>=1.7.3).
Because discord.py (1.7.3) depends on aiohttp (>=3.6.0,<3.8.0)
and no versions of discord.py match >1.7.3, discord.py (>=1.7.3) requires aiohttp (>=3.6.0,<3.8.0).
Thus, discord (>=1.7.3,<2.0.0) requires aiohttp (>=3.6.0,<3.8.0).
So, because repl-python3-challengebot depends on both aiohttp (^3.8.1) and discord (^1.7.3), version solving failed.

at /opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/poetry/puzzle/solver.py:241 in _solve

Replit: Package operation failed.``` so basically aiohttp and that python version aren't really cooperating? Can someone pls tell me how to fix this? I'm very new to repl, so this may seem easy to some of you. pls ping when you respond

ive tried doing a different repl, but that seems to have no effect whatsoever

[quaint scaffold]

Long story short, don't use replit @jade sinew.

You should not use Repl.it to host your bot.

While this may seem like a nice and free service, it has a lot more caveats than you might think, such as:

• The machines are super underpowered.
• • This means your bot will lag a lot as it gets bigger.
• You need to run a webserver alongside your bot to prevent it from being shut off.
• • This isn't a trivial task, and eats more of the machines power.
• Repl.it uses an ephemeral file system.
• • This means any file you saved via your bot will be overwritten when you next launch.

- They use a shared IP for everything running on the service.
This one is important - if someone is running a user bot on their service and gets banned, everyone on that IP will be banned. Including you.

Please avoid using repl.it to host your bot. It's not worth the trouble.

[jade sinew]

😬 i didnt know repl was that bad. but i cant find any other systems that will let me host my bot 24/7/365 for free. can you give me any advice?

[cloud dawn]

Nothing in life is free

[quaint scaffold]

If you have any money, purchase a VPS, they're around $4 per month

[kindred epoch]

No free hosts are as good as paid ones. And that they aren't even for discord bots to be hosted on.

[jade sinew]

i have $0 money and no credit card even if i did

[kindred epoch]

Air

[quaint scaffold]

GitHub student packs offer free DigitalOcean credits.

[jade sinew]

but im not a github student

[quaint scaffold]

Are you a student?

[jade sinew]

yes

[cloud dawn]

Netcup has hosting starting at 2.80 eu

[quaint scaffold]

Apply for it

If you provide a school email, you'll get it really quickly

Oh, and AWS gives a free year I believe

[jade sinew]

i tried using heroku, but once i tried hosting multiple bots i lost my free dyno hours

[kindred epoch]

Bruh

[jade sinew]

hmm these suggestions all sound great! thanks!

[untold token]

That's a poetry related error

[quaint scaffold]

If you're a student, take advantage of the GitHub student pack, it's wild

[jade sinew]

ill try them all out

[untold token]

your aiohttp version is causing issues

use [e-mail]0

[cloud dawn]

GitHub pack also gives azure 100 bucks

[untold token]

That should fix the issue

[jade sinew]

yeah, but i dont know how to change it to like a stable version

[quaint scaffold]

Just don't use replit, it's the wrong way to start out programming

[jade sinew]

where do i put this

[jade sinew]

yikes ok

[untold token]

Use shell do it

[jade sinew]

ohh

[quaint scaffold]

-_-

[untold token]

poetry add [e-mail]0

[jade sinew]

lol ty

[untold token]

Yeah you should not use replit I know but its actually not the issue with replit but poetry

[cloud dawn]

Well repl.it can be used but not for hosting debugging if on phone at most

[jade sinew]

ok

[quaint scaffold]

It's better suited for things like Flask and Django web apps. But at that point you may as well use a VPS

Better to learn web development that way imo

Nginx + gunicorn doesn't hurt anyone

[cloud dawn]

You don't

[untold token]

You can't "hide" slash commands

you can change the permissions the to grey them out

[cloud dawn]

Since slash commands are meant for users and not for devs to debug

[cloud dawn]

Looks bad if they can still see it imo

[untold token]

I mean yeah, you can't do much anything more than that

slash commands permissions v2 is still developed by discord

[cloud dawn]

I have a slash bot aswell that I'm coding rn

I combined both slash and prefix. Using the prefix for debugging, no help command no bot responses just for debugging.

[kindred epoch]

Well, technically you can make slash commands not visible in other guilds besides the ones you want

[untold token]

@jade sinew did it work?

[cloud dawn]

Pretty messy solution

If you would ever make them global

[untold token]

That's an ephemeral message

[jade sinew]

it worked! but now im going to try to host it with something else, because as y'all said, replit is bad

[untold token]

Ah okay

With disnake it's pretty easy to make

@bot.slash_command(name="test")
async def (inter: disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction):
    await inter.response.send_message("hello", ephemeral=True)

That's it

the ephemeral kwarg needs to set to True and you will be able to send ephemeral messages

Oh wait, you meant hidden slash commands this?

Oh I thought you were talking about hiding the slash command itself

Ah

[rugged laurel]

would this channel fit for asking how to make my chatbot into a discord chatbot?

[modest plover]

In the command, with the db.execute things, does it put me at this stage?

Fuck forgot the reply

[honest vessel]

@modest ploverif u like GUI (wich can simplifie the creating of database's for sqlite3) checkout DB Browser https://sqlitebrowser.org/

[rugged laurel]

so i got this python chatbot thats completely unrelated to discord, is this where i should ask how to make it into a discord chatbot?

[honest vessel]

@rugged laurel start read about how to write a discordbot and u will understand how merge them both, https://docs.disnake.dev/

COG?

You know what that is right?

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog

class discord.ext.commands.Cog(*args, **kwargs)```
The base class that all cogs must inherit from.

A cog is a collection of commands, listeners, and optional state to help group commands together. More information on them can be found on the [Cogs](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs) page.

When inheriting from this class, the options shown in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta "discord.ext.commands.CogMeta") are equally valid here.

[fervent shard]

what does this error mean?

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: member is a required argument that is missing.```

[tawdry perch]

You didn't pass member to that command

[cloud dawn]

I don't recommend copying code

[fervent shard]

i dont recommend assuming :((

[cloud dawn]

I felt pretty confident

[fervent shard]

ok but i didnt copy, i rushed the code today.

[honest shoal]

why .id

[fervent shard]

why not

[honest shoal]

ok, so who is user

[fervent shard]

user

[honest shoal]

not defined there

[honest vessel]

u rushed it or copy my shitty old exmaple? #discord-bots message

i would't copy it but more take some references from it

it was more likely i rushed it...

parameter's name is bad and alot in that code is bad

[cloud dawn]

lmfao

[honest vessel]

but i had to type, cause u try tell others u rushed it 🙂

[honest shoal]

Imagine banning users instead of members

@rugged laurel I'm sorry but it's fair to say you skipped the basics of Python, i recommend learning that first then get back to it.

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[rugged laurel]

i have learned basic python. i just struggle with synax sometimes and then also new packages i find confusing

[steel slate]

ok in both spots aswell?

[cloud dawn]

Well i did already told you why it doesn't work but you reposted the code just now.

[honest vessel]

username = str(message.auther).split('#')[0]
if message.auther == client.user:
its author tho

@rugged laurel

[rugged laurel]

wdym

[cloud dawn]

And message.author.name lol

[honest vessel]

.auther not correctly spelled

[rugged laurel]

oh

[quick gust]

wherever you would normally use client just make it a thumb rule to add self before that. E.g

bot.py:

client.user
client.guilds```

cogs
```py
self.client.user
self.client.guilds```

[rugged laurel]

lol

[steel slate]

yes i fixed it my self thanks for telling me i missed the self part

[cloud dawn]

@rugged laurel -> https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/343944376055103488/933387436757766175

[steel slate]

right thank you

[honest vessel]

@cloud dawnhey its a hard word if non english speaking n maybe dyslexia 🙂

[quick gust]

No worries

[cloud dawn]

I'm non English and have a dyslexia certificate.

[rugged laurel]

i just tend to swap around on "or" or "er"

[honest vessel]

same xD but no cert but for sure has it

[rugged laurel]

nope

still i dont get response

wait

nope

[cloud dawn]

🤨 -> https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/343944376055103488/933391301594996857

[rugged laurel]

its prob prefix problem

[rugged laurel]

ik but if i get it to work i can super easily train it whenever i want to

[wooden viper]

can anyone tell me why my loop isnt working inside my cog?

class updates(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client
        self.index = 0

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
    async def printer(self):
        print(self.index)
        self.index += 1

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(updates(client))```

[cloud dawn]

Did you start the loop?

[wooden viper]

how do you start the loop?

[cloud dawn]

self.printer.start()

[wooden viper]

thanks

[rugged laurel]

wait how do i make a bot that has a database of words and patterns, and then a command to create new ones?

and then the command should be like /ap:Hi:Hello

[cloud dawn]

We can help you going trough it a bit, but we won't code it for you.

[rugged laurel]

ik

[cloud dawn]

https://vcokltfre.dev/ Use this to get started with discord.py
https://vcokltfre.dev/tips/storage/ Use this for database selection

[steel slate]

how do i take the commands out of cog and put them in cog?

[foggy merlin]

When I first start my bot, all the @tasks.loop run. Is there a way to immedietely add the delay. So if I have tasks setup to run every 1 hour, it will run 1 hour after the bot has started

[cloud dawn]

Don't do anything..?

[steel slate]

lol i mean i could

[cloud dawn]

@daring olive Sorry for the ping :3
Thought you might be interested.

[maiden fable]

Wait what's this?

[daring olive]

yup i saw

[maiden fable]

You DMed ModMail to ask a Discord API question???

[daring olive]

i was a part of the discussion lol

[cloud dawn]

Regarding the invite creates by bots.

[maiden fable]

Ah, joining random servers from bot.guilds?

[daring olive]

rereading that code yesterday, i also noticed the docstring in the function was misleading right?

the docstring seemed to indicate that it would create and post an invite link in the topmost channel of the server

[cloud dawn]

Ahhh okay.

[tidal hawk]

How to make tasks.loop execute randomly between 1-3 hours?

[cloud dawn]

randint.

[tidal hawk]

tasks.loop(hours=random.randint(1, 3))

that easy huh

[cloud dawn]

yep

[dense swallow]

is SQLite good for bots? some say it's not good?

[cloud dawn]

For smaller bots it's perfect :3

Do use the aiosqlite lib though

[dense swallow]

what about medium

medium bots

[cloud dawn]

How many guilds?

[dense swallow]

like around 500?

[cloud dawn]

That is still considered small

[dense swallow]

what's the range of "small bots"?

[cloud dawn]

sqlite is for around 20/25k guilds

[dense swallow]

oh damn

[honest vessel]

this is basic python :/

[dense swallow]

I saw this and I was like why is everyone saying it's bad for bots..
https://www.sqlite.org/famous.html

[honest vessel]

thants not few tho

[dense swallow]

yeah

[honest vessel]

@dense swallowwhen u got ur sql up consider do daily backups or so too

[dense swallow]

to not lose data?

[honest vessel]

yeah

if shit hits the fan

[dense swallow]

😂 k

[honest vessel]

or if u misstaken ly does something

[dense swallow]

hmm yeah

[honest vessel]

then u can also delete old backups that are too old

[dense swallow]

I was considering switching to mongo, but I really don't like the syntax and Postgres hosting costs a lot for good one

[honest vessel]

i nvr been intressted in mongo :S

[dense swallow]

same

[honest vessel]

its sqlite for local db, or prettymuch mysql for remote db

[dense swallow]

I really like pg, but what to do if I can't afford it

(hosting)

[honest vessel]

u can get cheap vps

[dense swallow]

I don't have any income

[honest vessel]

ah

so how u host ur bots?

freehosting?

[dense swallow]

yeah

not replit tho, used to use it but left it since it's so bad

[honest vessel]

but u dont even have $5 month?

[dense swallow]

how can a student earn?

[honest vessel]

oh in sweden students gets like 100+$ just being a student each month

prob more

[dense swallow]

:O

part time jobs?

[honest vessel]

no thats what all students gets

from gov cause they being students

[dense swallow]

what

that's crazy

how can the govt give every students $100+

[honest vessel]

137$ each month for free

[dense swallow]

as a scholarship or smth?

or simply

[honest vessel]

no just bein going to school

[dense swallow]

hmm

[honest vessel]

from when u 16yo till 20yo

i guess sweden has it pros 😛

[steel slate]

Hi i have my welcomer that was made out of cog but i am working on classing items so i was wondering how to convert to cog and want to make sure it is correct because i don't have a test function ```py
#Client Events

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_join(member):
    if member.guild.id == 804864012184977438 : return
    channels = member.guild.channels
    for channel in channels:
        if ('welcome' in channel.name) or ('joins' in channel.name): #or ('testing' in channel.name)
             embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Welcome {member.name}", description=f"Thanks for joining {member.guild.name}!")
             embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)

        await channel.send(embed=embed)

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_remove(member):
    if member.guild.id == 804864012184977438 : return
    channels = member.guild.channels
    for channel in channels:
        if ('leave' in channel.name) or ('Goodbye' in channel.name): #or ('testing' in channel.name):
            embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Goodbye, {member.name}", description=f"Bye {member.name} come again soon")
            embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)
            
            await channel.send(embed=embed)```

[compact pelican]

Hello, is there a way to get the first channel in a category and move it into another one ?

I know how to move a channel to another category but i don't know how to get the first channel of a category.

[honest vessel]

dunno and too lazy just ate, but grab the category
u want -> category.channels[0] something that way

[quick gust]

nothing much should change(I think), but just pass self as a param and what I told you earlier

[quick gust]

also you should update to dpy 2.0+ or a fork

[crystal cliff]

How do i send a user a dm from d.py This is my code = @Bot.command()
async def DM(ctx):
user_id_list = [user_id]
for user_id_list in user_id_list:
user = await Bot.get_user_id(user_id)
await user.send('this is a test dm')

[leaden chasm]

anyone know to how to add gif emojis to py i tried the old method but it didn't work

[velvet tinsel]

!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]

yea this is how u do it

[maiden fable]

wym

[velvet tinsel]

I mean... you can do

@bot.command()
async def dm(ctx, member: discord.Member):
  await member.send(...)

but I think they wanted to DM everyone 🤷‍♂️

[velvet tinsel]

uh...what?

[leaden chasm]

like for example if you wanted to add a gif emoji to your welcome command, how would i do that?

[maiden fable]

u need its ID and name

like !python

u get this with \:emoji-name:

and add this to yr code

[velvet tinsel]

you can add a \ before the emoji to get it's- fuck

!yert

[leaden chasm]

ah

so like this

nvm got it ty

so much

[maiden fable]

[velvet tinsel]

flexing your nitro

[maiden fable]

gonna end in a day or two

[velvet tinsel]

oh

[maiden fable]

wait its ending today :DDD

[velvet tinsel]

enjoy it while it lasts

[ebon island]

How difficult is it to create a website splash page like most high quality bots have? Is there a framework for building them?

[maiden fable]

yea

!pypi flask-discord

[unkempt canyon]

Flask-Discord v0.1.64

Discord OAuth2 extension for Flask.

[maiden fable]

there are extensions for those

!pypi discord-ext-ipc is also there

[unkempt canyon]

discord-ext-ipc v2.1.1

A discord.py extension for inter-process communication.

[ebon island]

Cool, thank you 🙂 I'd assume there is additional work to be done, say creating a react frontend or something to make it look more attractive as I know flask apps don't by default look very appealing

[maiden fable]

For that, u can look into jinja2

[velvet tinsel]

don't you just need a button and a redirect to the invite link? Or...

[maiden fable]

Or you can also look into svelte and Brython @ebon island

[maiden fable]

Lol its much more than that

[velvet tinsel]

o

[ebon island]

No, I am looking for a dashboard framework for customizing settings and all via dashboard

I will look into them 🙂 What are the key differences in each?

[maiden fable]

Ah, well the most basic implementation for something like that would be: Suppose u have an option to change the logging channel, then u display the list of all the channels u got, after requesting them from the bot and show them on the website... When the user clicks one, u just edit the database

[maiden fable]

Brython is like JS, but u can use Python for frontend.
Svelte is an HTML subscript language to build a frontend which compiles to JS

[ebon island]

Found a relevant YT video, appears by the code snippets seen in the video to be JS but it's definitely something to consider while I continue searching for a Python based implementation

[maiden fable]

Talking about svelte?

Its just an easier way to combine HTML and JS codes haha

Its a programming cum markup language in itself

And then there is sveltekit, a framework similiar to React implemented in Svelte to create backend and frontend, still in beta tho

So what u can do is, create a websocket connection with the bot, and just request for things through it... That is what discord-ext-ipc does

[echo wasp]

So i am using an ignoring fuction in my welcome and leave is there a way i can have a document like a .txt file with all the id's in it that it checks?

[slate swan]

use a db

.txt files arent fit to store data

if you did read a text file would it just be one long string?

i think so im not sure

[distant tree]

so lost
https://mystb.in/GymEbonyVirtually.python

[slate swan]

your params

[distant tree]

whats wrong with them?

[slate swan]

it thinks your time is a member

[distant tree]

i honestly don't see an issue

[distant tree]

not the way i coded it

it's in the pastebin

[slate swan]

then your calling it wrong

[slim ibex]

You have to invoke it in the order of the params

[slate swan]

^

[distant tree]

i did though?

[slate swan]

seems like you have something wrong

[slim ibex]

^

it says member “5s” not found

Obviously the ID is not being treated as the member

[slate swan]

yeah

[distant tree]

once again it's in the pastebin.

it's been broken like this for a few days

it's saved

[slim ibex]

any errors in terminal?

[slate swan]

it thinks temp is the member

[distant tree]

which doesn't make sense

[slate swan]

your adding extra params
<prefix><ctx><another_argument><member_obj><duration>

[distant tree]

it's a subcommand. it's more like <prefix><subcommand><member><duration>

[slate swan]

ahhh ic

btw thats not following pep8 lol

maybe change the argument order

[slim ibex]

Does the regular mute work

[steel slate]

    async def Ping(self, ctx):
        await ctx.channel.send(f"**pong!** That took {int(self.bot.latency*1000)} ms!")```

worked fine out of cog

[slim ibex]

self.bot

[slate swan]

show your cog

[slim ibex]

^

Was about to say that

[steel slate]

ok

import os
import discord
import time
import datetime
import asyncio
from discord.ext import commands

class CMS(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self,client):
        self.client = client

#Ping command
    @commands.command(name='Ping')
    async def Ping(self, ctx):
        await ctx.channel.send(f"**pong!** That took {int(self.bot.latency*1000)} ms!")
    


#Purge command
    @commands.command(name='Purge')
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    async def Purge(self, ctx, limit: int):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=limit)
        purge_embed = discord.Embed(title='Purge [%Purge]', description=f'Successfully Purged {limit} messages. \n Command executed by {ctx.author}.', color=discord.Colour.random())
        purge_embed.set_footer(text=str(datetime.datetime.now()))
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=purge_embed)




#Help Command
    @commands.command(name='Help')
    async def Help(self, ctx):
        embed=discord.Embed(title='Help Page!', description=f"%Ping (To tell you if I am online or not) \n %Purge (To purge mass messages) \n %Invite (Opens the invite page to invite me!) \n %Help (To open this page to tell you what commands I have)", color=0x206694)
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)



def setup(client):
     client.add_cog(CMS(client)) ```

Help command works trying purge work

[slim ibex]

self.client

[slate swan]

were the heck i cant find it lol

[echo wasp]

what you looking for

[slate swan]

like binds said lol

your bot isnt named bot in this case its client

[echo wasp]

ok

[steel slate]

thank you

fixed it

[slate swan]

noice

[steel slate]

now how do you add a false statement on a purge command as what i have above

[slate swan]

theres no such thing as a false statement

False is a bool

[steel slate]

i mean look

[honest vessel]

@steel slateu should try read some about python 🙂

[slate swan]

what about it

[honest vessel]

or u gonna keep asking for simple things over n over

[slate swan]

i got it

[steel slate]

I know it is just i can't speak today

[slate swan]

chill out

[slate swan]

make all the questions you want :))

[steel slate]

and i want to make sure it right

[slate swan]

wdym by false statement?

[steel slate]

you know like how carl bot says you don't have perms todo that but if you do have perms he does it like that

[slate swan]

a an error handler

[steel slate]

that is what i was thinking of because i get the error here but not in discord

[slate swan]

@commandname.error
async def example_error(self, ctx, error: commands.CommandError):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
          await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author.mention}You do not have permissions to do this command.")

something like this

this just checks if the error is the given instance

[steel slate]

bingo thank you

[slate swan]

yw

[steel slate]

also how do i make it so if you don't put a number it just doesn't do anything?

it tells you to add a number

[slate swan]

check the type

if type(limit) == str:
    # do something

if you have a command error it will just handle it as a bad argument

@client.command()
async def testt(ctx):
    await ctx.send("hello", components = [
        [Button(label="hi", style="3", emoji= "🛴", custom_id="button1"), Button(label="hi2", style="4", emoji= "🛴", custom_id="button2")]
    ])
    interaction= await client.wait_for("button_click", check= lambda i: i.custom_id == "button1")
    await interaction.send(content = "test done")

Interaction failed?

[steel slate]

i ment like the person does %purge it won't do anything i want it to comback and say this is how you need to do it

[slate swan]

well then use a return statement

if type(limit) == str:
    return await ctx.send("you must do the command as so....")

[steel slate]

now it doesn't go at all with error statement

   @commands.command(name='Purge')
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    async def Purge(self, ctx, limit: int):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=limit)
        purge_embed = discord.Embed(title='Purge [%Purge]', description=f'Successfully Purged {limit} messages. \n Command executed by {ctx.author}.', color=discord.Colour.random())
        purge_embed.set_footer(text=str(datetime.datetime.now()))
        await ctx.channel.send(embed=purge_embed)
    @Purge.error
    async def Purge(self, ctx, error: commands.CommandError):
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
          await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author.mention}You do not have permissions to do this command.")

[slate swan]

!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

[slate swan]

must have no level of indentations

[steel slate]

should be under the await?

[slate swan]

^

[steel slate]

even in a cog

[slate swan]

no sorry it must be in the class ofc

lol

[steel slate]

that is how it is set

[brittle flume]

Can command_prefix be a list?

[steel slate]

right i know that now i knew nothing about cogs when i started yesterday

[slate swan]

yes

[brittle flume]

Ty

[slate swan]

just classes lol

[steel slate]

it is just classes

[slate swan]

just basic subclassing lol

[slate swan]

yw

[steel slate]

so does it sit like that or how should it si

t

[slate swan]

just like that

[steel slate]

ok i still have that error

[slate swan]

try naming the function something else

in the error handler

and i have to check if error handlers are different in cogs

[steel slate]

might be idk

what should i name the eror handler?

[slate swan]

anything lol

[steel slate]

ok at the @ part or just the def

[slate swan]

and do @cog_Purge.error

[slate swan]

in define in the function

[slate swan]

yes should be like that

[steel slate]

ok testing

but that wasn't the error

[slate swan]

wdym

[steel slate]

i didn't do %purge 1 i just did %purge

that works for non perm people

[slate swan]

make it a positional arg

or make it an optional

[steel slate]

but still get nothing back

on permed people

[slate swan]

if not limit:
    ...

and add a default value of None

[slate swan]

because that isnt the instance

[steel slate]

right

[crystal cliff]

Doesn’t work 🙈

[steel slate]

where do i put that for indentaion reasons

[slate swan]

on top

[steel slate]

like here?

[slate swan]

yes

but indent it

[steel slate]

ok

can i put in an await on it

[slate swan]

where

in the if statement no?

[slate swan]

thats indentation

[steel slate]

yes but no i can but i wasn't ready for it yet

[slate swan]

^

[steel slate]

do i need to indent it?

or how do i fix that

[slate swan]

wait nvm

you have to send the embed and return the function

in the if statement

thats all

[slate swan]

and your if statement isnt indented well

^

[steel slate]

ok here

[crystal cliff]

Does the purge footer/datetime work?

[slate swan]

probably does

[steel slate]

yes

[slate swan]

but use the timestamp kwarg

[slate swan]

must be one level in the if statement

and return the function

so it wont execute everything after it

[steel slate]

wait so how do i set this right

[slate swan]

wdym

[slate swan]

you if statement

[steel slate]

that is how code writes it out

[slate swan]

ive said it many times

[steel slate]

oh the if limit:

[slate swan]

yes

and dont send the embed like that

return await ctx.send(embed=purge_failed)

it will return the function^

[slate swan]

no need for the other if statement

if limit is none it will just return the function and if not it will just continue

[steel slate]

or how do i set the properly

[slate swan]

no the other action you want to do you want it out of the if statement

[steel slate]

can you rewrite it because i don't understand what ya mean

[slate swan]

just delete a level of indentation after the return

[slate swan]

yes but no need to do ctx.channel

just do ctx.send

and you can use the timestamp kwarg in the embed

[slate swan]

when sending a msg

[slate swan]

guess its the same decorator

[steel slate]

ypu fixed that and it went

[sacred sigil]

how do I make a member counter text channel? Whenever a member joins (on_member_join event), it updates the channel name to the number of members there are (+ the member that joined)

[steel slate]

let me do tests

[slate swan]

on the event just update the name and check the len of members

[slate swan]

use get_channel to get the channel and use .edit to update the name ( wrong reply)

^

[slate swan]

use get_channel to get the channel and use .edit to update the name

[steel slate]

the part we just added didn't work at all i run same command i just don't get the error in the console

[slate swan]

which error

oh

[slate swan]

Name.of the class here?

[hoary cargo]

        async def interaction_check(inter)  :
            if inter.user != inter.author:
                await inter.response.send_message("Just the author can click the buttons.", ephemeral=True)
                return False
            else:
                return True
        await interaction_check(inter)

why the check is not working i have some buttons and i want to be clickable just by the author, i have no errors regarding it but just seems ineffective

[slate swan]

because you need to add a defualt value of None @steel slate

to the arg

[sacred sigil]

I’ll be back to let yk

[slate swan]

just pinged a random dude oops sorry

[steel slate]

oopd

[craggy cloak]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
   channel = client.get_channel(922582463241416756)
   if message.channel.id == channel.id:
       await message.add_reaction('✅')
       await message.add_reaction('❌')

No Error: but the bot isn't adding this reactions?

[slate swan]

you forgot self

[steel slate]

so the if not limit didn't work

[slate swan]

async def interaction_check(self, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction) -> bool:
    if interaction.author != self.author:
        return False
    return True

example ^

[plain eagle]

iirc syntax this should be correct?

[echo wasp]

so how do i make this work properly?

[slate swan]

^

[plain eagle]

...?

[steel slate]

or how do i do this?

to make it correct

i haven't used if statements with none before

[hoary cargo]

but it's inside a command that already has self as first param, adding self it's starts throwing error

[slate swan]

isnt interaction_check supposed to be in the button class

[steel slate]

How do i add the default value as none?

[slate swan]

limit: int = None

in params

[steel slate]

so like this

[slate swan]

i said in parameters

[echo wasp]

How do i set that i don't use parameters at all

[slate swan]

!e

def function(arg: str = None):
    if not arg:
        return print("arg is None")
    print("arg has value")

function()

[unkempt canyon]

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

arg is None

[slate swan]

discord coding lol

[echo wasp]

lol

so how do i write the limit

[steel slate]

like this ?

[steel slate]

^

[slate swan]

no no in limit

it was an example

[steel slate]

please show me

[slate swan]

limit: int = None

[wanton veldt]

white theme 😍

[echo wasp]

gitpod sadly but i also use vscode in white

the real vscode

[echo wasp]

right?

[slate swan]

no in parameters

[honest vessel]

he ask for help whole days

n dosnt know basic shit

[slate swan]

def function(param)

[slate swan]

chill out

[honest vessel]

😦 i dont wanna be a bitch but its timeconsuming even try help

[slate swan]

i still like to help

so i got it

[honest vessel]

@slate swanam all for helping but kinda sucks when he dont have the wanna learn n try himself - and if no help, he ask about other commands that dosnt works

copypastabot

[slate swan]

whats so hard to help tho?

if you have the knowledge why not bless someone with it?

[echo wasp]

I don't copy and pasta dude

[honest vessel]

its timeconsuming, and he dont even know indentations

[slate swan]

ive always been told if you can bless someone then do it

not a big deal

[honest vessel]

ofc, but i would like to see him try learn basic python too

or he gonna ask for simplest thing 24/7

[slate swan]

yes but whats so hard just to help him?

[echo wasp]

I already know basic python

[echo wasp]

and i haven't worked on my bot in idk 5 months

[honest vessel]

no u dont, u have no idea of indentations

[slate swan]

@steel slate in the if statement it must be

if not limit

since limit is an argument and in parameters you should add

limit: int = None

which limit expects it to be an integer and has a default value of None

[echo wasp]

lol i do to i just don't know what goes into what why not give me a quiz and tell me what to make

[slate swan]

its alright no need to fight we all know somethings others dont and thats why we help eachother

[honest vessel]

i tried help u, u could't even fix misspelled clent to client without upload code 2 times 😛

[slate swan]

@honest vessel stand down please

this is a helping channel

[honest vessel]

nah no problemos

[steel slate]

that was a sight error

not a coding error

[slate swan]

maskuh forget it

can we just stop

[honest vessel]

dont mind me 🙂

[slate swan]

^

the answers to your problem are here

[steel slate]

I don't understand i have put it the way i interpret that

[honest vessel]

if not limit: will nvr run

[slate swan]

please send me the command

i got you

[honest vessel]

cause argument missing (parameter)

[slate swan]

you learn like me with examples and thats alright

❤️

[hoary cargo]

shut up please, i tried sub-classing the view and buttons , i ended up with something like

 class View4(View):

        @discord.ui.button(label='a', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
        async def button_callback(self, button, inter):
            await inter.response.edit_message(embed=embed1)

        async def button_callback(self, button, inter):
            await inter.response.edit_message(embed=embed2)

        @discord.ui.button(emoji='🗑️', label='Remove Buttons')
        async def button_callback(self, button, inter):
            await inter.response.edit_message(view=None)

the main problem was the embeds so i give up with this ngl

[honest vessel]

but u toss hair n fail n trail 😄 nothing wrong also how i do

[slate swan]

well your missing an 2 inits

[steel slate]

moved into a dm

[slate swan]

@hoary cargo here -> https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/tree/master/examples/views/button

sorry i dont like helping in dms

[steel slate]

ok it was just for the code

[honest vessel]

@hoary cargo button_a, button_b, would be something since u label has that a, b - for function names

[slate swan]

its alr

[slate swan]

i'd assign that .purge to a var and do Purged {len(the_var_name)}

since .purge returns a list of all the deleted messages

more accuracy

[slate swan]

yeah i just helped him with params lol

should't await bot.process_commands(message) be at top?

or is it bottom 🤷🏻‍♂️

[slate swan]

better to use listen

[slate swan]

bottom

[honest vessel]

yeah def kinda old use that

[steel slate]

so how do i fix that so it works?

[slate swan]

i gaved you the whole code?

[slate swan]

^

[honest vessel]

see what i mean 😄

[real hearth]

what is this for? I put it worked, I wanted to know what it's for to use this so the same error doesn't occur

[slate swan]

just delete the old one and copy paste it

[steel slate]

oh i didn't notice i thought it was mine that you moved into this channel

[slate swan]

it just like event

but it doesnt overwrite itself on_message

[slate swan]

lol

so i can use this in every event?

yes

I'm a beginner, how do you make discord bots wait for a response?

[slim ibex]

discord bot is a bad beginner project

[vale wing]

oh well ok

ye i guess

!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**...

sorry for not clarifying it

[jovial storm]

thanks

[honest vessel]

check documentation they have example of wait_for()
edit: click that link above ^

[flat solstice]

How long can it take a bot to get the history of a channel? I have it grabbing the history of a channel with 48.8k msgs and whilst i'm assuming it will take a while i'm just wondering if anyone knows a rough time it will take to completeNevermind, it took about 10 mins to do 48,869 msgs so that's 4,886.9 msgs per min, I think

[honest vessel]

😄

@flat solstice5k a min not bad?

83 msg a sec

@flat solsticemore important what api thinks about that?:D

aka limits

[quaint epoch]

anyone know what's the request limit on disnake?

[echo wasp]

Ok so with the if command for the welcomer can i do print with the return to make sure it works?

[sacred sigil]

Using a wait_for(), how do I check if the message was either yes or no?

for example, if I want confirmation from the executer that they want to run this command, how would I wait for it, and how would I check if it's yes or no

[final iron]

Check if the message.content was yes or no

[sacred sigil]

Creating a delete all messages in a channel command (works by cloning the channel and deleting the last one), how would I go about it?

@bot.command(aliases=["nukechannel", "channelnuke", "n"])
@commands.is_owner()
async def nuke(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    author = ctx.author

    await ctx.message.delete()
    await ctx.send(f"are you sure you want to delete all messages in {channel} (**y**/**n**")
    ...

@final iron

[final iron]

You just add it in your check

Have you used wait_for() before?

[sacred sigil]

never

[final iron]

Ah

Have you checked out the docs?

They have examples

!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).

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[sacred sigil]

I have, but my particular situation doesn't work that way

[final iron]

How?

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

This is checking content

[sacred sigil]

and what about if it returns a no?

I want it to abort the command if its an n or no

i dont get it

@bot.command(aliases=["nukechannel", "channelnuke", "n"])
@commands.is_owner()
async def nuke(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    author = ctx.author

    await ctx.message.delete()
    await ctx.send(f"are you sure you want to delete all messages in {channel} (**y**/**n**")
    msg = str(bot.wait_for("message"))

[final iron]

iirc it returns a single argument/tuple of what the user said

[sacred sigil]

yeah....

[final iron]

So you can check if "yes" is in msg

You also need to add a check

[sacred sigil]

i still don't understand the check

[final iron]

Which part?

[sacred sigil]

@bot.command(aliases=["nukechannel", "channelnuke", "n"])
@commands.is_owner()
async def nuke(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    author = ctx.author

    def check(m):
        return m.content == #why am I doing a check if I'm going to do a check for yes or no?

    await ctx.message.delete()
    await ctx.send(f"are you sure you want to delete all messages in {channel} (**y**/**n**")
    msg = str(bot.wait_for("message", check=check))

??

[final iron]

You need to define a check (function) and use the check kwarg

[final iron]

As shown in the example

[sacred sigil]

check is defined

[final iron]

You need to have a check or else any user can say yes

And then it will wipe the channel

[sacred sigil]

okk

so How do I do this check?

[final iron]

Again, not 100% sure

But I think m is a discord.Message object

Therefore

[sacred sigil]

@bot.command(aliases=["nukechannel", "channelnuke", "n"])
@commands.is_owner()
async def nuke(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    author = ctx.author

    def check(m):
        return m.author == author
        
    await ctx.message.delete()
    await ctx.send(f"are you sure you want to delete all messages in {channel} (**y**/**n**")
    msg = str(bot.wait_for("message", check=check))

like that?

[final iron]

Yup

You might want to check if it was the channel the message was run in

[sacred sigil]

okok

[final iron]

But thats your choice

[sacred sigil]

did it

@bot.command(aliases=["nukechannel", "channelnuke", "n"])
@commands.is_owner()
async def nuke(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    author = ctx.author

    def check(m):
        return m.author == author and m.channel == channel

    await ctx.message.delete()
    await ctx.send(f"are you sure you want to delete all messages in {channel} (**y**/**n**")
    msg = str(bot.wait_for("message", check=check))

    if msg == "yes" or msg == "y":
        ...
    elif msg == "no" or msg == "n":
        ...

like this?

[torn sail]

!or

[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.")

[sacred sigil]

fixed it @torn sail

[torn sail]

Nice

Also don’t do str(bot.wait_for). Use msg.content to check what the message says

[sacred sigil]

like this?

@bot.command(aliases=["nukechannel", "channelnuke", "n"])
@commands.is_owner()
async def nuke(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    author = ctx.author

    def check(m):
        return m.author == author and m.channel == channel

    await ctx.message.delete()
    await ctx.send(f"are you sure you want to delete all messages in {channel} (**y**/**n**")
    msg = bot.wait_for("message", check=check)

    if msg.content == "yes" or msg.content == "y":
        ...
    elif msg.content == "no" or msg.content == "n":
        ...

[torn sail]

So I have this command which I've asked a few questions about over the past few days and I thought I'd got it all functional but I've been running it today and it doesn't seem to be sending my embeds but it's also not giving me a error which makes me think it's a logic issue somewhere

I need help with a piece of code. I am creating a discord bot using python. This is my code:

import discord
import os

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author == client.user:
    return

  if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
    await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))```

But instead of saying "Bot Ready!" it gives me this syntax error:

```py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "main.py", line 18, in <module>
      client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

[peak salmon]

are there any good libraries with components or should I start learning java?

[velvet tinsel]

why Java?

[tacit storm]

heya so i have a database for my bot setup (mongodb) but im not sure how to get it to get a custom prefix from the database itself?

can anyone help?

please anyone?

[slate swan]

i havent done python in so long. how do i get the variable to increase with a command?

[tacit storm]

if you want it

put it inside the function

thats why it's a read line under it

other than that, im not sure what else

since ive never worked with global variables in discord.py

[flat solstice]

swearcount += 1 is a nice short way of incrementing it

[slate swan]

thanks

[tacit storm]

all i know is it's supposed to be in a function like get_prefix

[slate swan]

am I doing smth wrong?

here code

oh wait nvm

sorry i think i figured it out

[flat solstice]

👍

[slate swan]

your prefix

you call a command as so <prefix_goes_here>command_name

[vivid bear]

in discord.py scripts , in which part of code should i connect postgres db ?
i would need it mostly in some commands and on events like on_message , on_member_update , on_member_join etc.
i m new to db and sql so i need a bit clear info.
Ps : i read+know discord.py docs 💯 %

[slate swan]

make a global var

[final iron]

Well you would create a bot variable

[slate swan]

that to

[final iron]

!bot-var

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[slate swan]

bot var is better tbh

[final iron]

If its async then you make it in an async function

[slate swan]

yup

[vivid bear]

like... on ready i load my db data to bot variable and after the day ends i would update the db with bot variable's data ?

[slate swan]

noooooooooo

dont load your db on ready

do this

async def startup_function():
    # load db......

#in the bottom of your file create the task
bot.loop.create_task(startup_function())

[vivid bear]

||ok , make a bot variable right
then what to do with conn=psycopg2.connect(params.)
where to be done ?||

[vivid bear]

ok i got it

is this a tasks.loop() process ?

[slate swan]

wdym

btw you should add wait_until_ready

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready

[potent spear]

no, this is a startup task, which you run after you declared your bot but BEFORE you run it

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_until\_ready

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

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

[potent spear]

because you obv want the db to be ready BEFORE the bot goes online

no need for wait_until_ready()

[slate swan]

oh yeah we arent changing status sorry

[fleet sparrow]

Hello, im trying this:

    if cmd == 'amount':
        f = open('data.txt', 'r')
        for line in f.readline():
            line = line.rstrip()
            await ctx.send(line)```

for read every line and send it but its sending letter by letter of each line.

[slate swan]

cause its a string

!e

a = "string"
print([b for b in a])

[unkempt canyon]

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

['s', 't', 'r', 'i', 'n', 'g']

[slate swan]

in this case it will send it as a list

since its a list comprehension

!e

a = "string"
for b in a:
    print(b)

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | s
002 | t
003 | r
004 | i
005 | n
006 | g

[potent spear]

he probably meant readlines

[slate swan]

by?

[fleet sparrow]

and how i can make change it?

[potent spear]

well, readline, reads only one line
readlines reads all the lines

[vivid bear]

async def startup_function():
    # load db......
#in the bottom of your file create the task
bot.loop.create_task(startup_function())

ok this will get my db ready ..
then i put some database's data in bot.variable ok!
do i have to connect/close to db in every way? like in on_message , on_member_join , on_xyz
or there is a correct way of doing that 🤔

[slate swan]

ic

[potent spear]

closing the db will get trashed automatically once you terminate the bot
but you can overwrite the bot's "close" function if you want to do it explicitly

I highly suggest you to make like seperate "help/utils" for every DB function you want to execute, so you can easily reuse them

for example

async def all_members(self):
  await self.db.execute("SELECT * FROM members")
  shit = await self.db.fetchall()
  return shit```
This can be a class which you extend your botclass with

[slate swan]

i love your var naming

[potent spear]

so you can easily call
db_members = await bot.all_members()

[potent spear]

at least it's not user: discord.Member
lol

or member: discord.User

[slate swan]

you got a point

[potent spear]

equally as bad

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

btw, forget what I said about the cursor, I forgot you don't really need them in an async db, you just straight up execute and fetch from the connection
(check docs for this ofc)

[vivid bear]

ok so to do operations on db i need a ctx manager
and what to do for db not be trashed?

[potent spear]

trashed as in "it closes itself, no need to worry"

[potent spear]

you don't per se, there are basic examples or quickstarters of your async db in the docs of it probably

[vivid bear]

there are .. but they use asyncpg and i m using psycopg2 ... i also a lill bit confused 😐

[potent spear]

well, psycopg2 has docs too 🧠

[quaint scaffold]

You shouldn't use synchronous database adapters for Discord bots

[potent spear]

correct

asyncpg is the async wrapper of postgres

[vivid bear]

2) ctx manager
3) psycopg2 docs

i'm gonna work on these 3 tonight.
thanks mates for all the helps 🙂

[potent spear]

2. not needed, but it's interesting to know what a context manager is tho
3. asyncpg docs

[vivid bear]

Aah okay

[slate swan]

Need help fixing something

client.counter = 0

client.this_dict = {}

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def drink(ctx):
    if (ctx.channel.id == 912562881684471810 or ctx.channel.id == 905601358562996244):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        client.counter += 0.02
        if client.counter >= 0.15:
            await ctx.send(f'You need to rush to the Hospital! {ctx.author.mention}')
        if client.counter >= 0.40:
            await ctx.send(f'You have died! You drank youself to the bottom of the barrel!')
        client.this_dict[ctx.author.id] = client.counter
        await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author.mention}\'s Blood Alcohol Concentration level is now {client.counter}')
        await asyncio.sleep(60*(30))
        client.counter = 0

This is apparently mixing up people's counters

So if, for example, I do -drink

It'll increase to 0.02

[potent spear]

yeah, everyone uses the same counter...

you obviously want a different counter per user

[slate swan]

Umhmm, but i set the author's counter to the dict?

shoudnt they all be registered differently?

[potent spear]

nope

access the counter like this_dict[user_id]

that'll return the counter of that user

also, since you're not using a DB, I suppose you don't care if when the bot restarts, data is lost?

[slate swan]

Well, the values resets after 30 minutes anyways so no point of using a data base

[potent spear]

aight

anyways, first thing to do in that command is make sure the user has a counter in that dict

if he doesn't, add one and set it to 0

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def checkbac(ctx, *, arg : discord.Member):
    if (ctx.channel.id == 912562881684471810 or ctx.channel.id == 905601358562996244):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        if arg.id not in client.this_dict:
            return await ctx.send(f'{arg.mention} has a Blood Alcohol Concentration Level of: 0.00')
        await ctx.send(f'{arg.mention} has a Blood Alcohol Concentration Level of {client.this_dict[arg.id]}')
        if client.this_dict[arg.id] >= 0.15:
            await ctx.send(f'{arg.mention} needs to be rushed to the Hospital!')

[potent spear]

also, let's shorten it up

[slate swan]

This is to check someone's counter

if arg.id not in client.this_dict:
return await ctx.send(f'{arg.mention} has a Blood Alcohol Concentration Level of: 0.00')

[potent spear]

if ctx.channel.id in (912562881684471810, 905601358562996244):

[potent spear]

alright, just know that you shouldn't use client.counter, but the dict instead

like user_alcohol_counter = {}

and once filled, it should look like

{ 123456: 0,
  155151: 0.5
}```

[slate swan]

Umhmm

[slate swan]

The counter increases by each command and registers it in dict, you want me to get rid of the counter?

I'm a little confused by what you mean?

[slate swan]

I understand this is what the dict should look like when storing the values yes

[potent spear]

you should just have a counter per user, not a global counter which everyone uses

[slate swan]

SO create a counter within the command?

[potent spear]

no, just only use the bot.counter_dict

or whatever that dict is

you don't need the bot.counter, since everyone can access that...

do when you drink, it sohuld should look like
client.counter_dict[ctx.author.id] += 0.05

or whatever your values are

[slate swan]

you count numbers by 0.05?

[potent spear]

idk lol ,you count them with .15 sometimes lol

[slate swan]

So get rid of the global counter, and make the dict count?

[slate swan]

interesting

[potent spear]

yeah, just only count PER user, as said earlier

[slate swan]

But wait a sec

[slate swan]

client.counter = 0

client.this_dict = {}

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def drink(ctx):
    if (ctx.channel.id == 912562881684471810 or ctx.channel.id == 905601358562996244):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        client.counter += 0.02
        if client.counter >= 0.15:
            await ctx.send(f'You need to rush to the Hospital! {ctx.author.mention}')
        if client.counter >= 0.40:
            await ctx.send(f'You have died! You drank youself to the bottom of the barrel!')
        client.this_dict[ctx.author.id] = client.counter
        await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author.mention}\'s Blood Alcohol Concentration level is now {client.counter}')
        await asyncio.sleep(60*(30))
        client.counter = 0

Shouldnt the counter reset bc of client.counter = 0 at the end?

[potent spear]

.

[potent spear]

.

[slate swan]

I'm doing that as well, but thinking about the logic, shouldnt the counter reset?

[potent spear]

client.this_dict[ctx.author.id] = 0

that's how you would reset the counter FOR THAT USER

[slate swan]

Welp, I am a total dumbass. I understand now

[potent spear]

actually deleting the value might be a better idea, since you don't want hundreds of key values where the counter is just 0, only add them if it's not 0 or whatever

also, check out "command checks", this is basically a replacement of your outer if statement

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

[slate swan]

Understood

[potent spear]

or even better

use cogs (this categorizes commands, tasks and events), and use a cog check
that way, you don't have to use a command check for every command
since I suppose you can only run certain commands in the same 2 channels

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +=: 'dict' and 'float'

[potent spear]

code?

[slate swan]

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def drink(ctx):
    if ctx.channel.id in (912562881684471810, 905601358562996244):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        client.this_dict += 0.02
        if client.this_dict[ctx.author.id] >= 0.15:
            await ctx.send(f'You need to rush to the Hospital! {ctx.author.mention}')
        if client.this_dict[ctx.author.id] >= 0.40:
            await ctx.send(f'You have died! You drank youself to the bottom of the barrel!')
        #client.this_dict[ctx.author.id] = client.counter
        await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author.mention}\'s Blood Alcohol Concentration level is now {client.this_dict[ctx.author.id]}')
        await asyncio.sleep(60*(30))
        client.this_dict[ctx.author.id] = 0

crap

ik how to fix 1 sec

[potent spear]

client.this_dict += 0.02
this is ofc the problem

[quaint scaffold]

You can remove pass_context=True

This was necessary a few years ago when discord.py was created, not anymore

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: KeyError: 439875622626394122

[potent spear]

that's a very english error

make sure the key is in there before adding shit to it ofc

client.this_dict[ctx.author.id] = 0.02

[slate swan]

Yea adding an if statement that will set the user's number to 0 before doing the command

[potent spear]

do what you like

[slate swan]

Will that be incorrect?

[potent spear]

will work, but not the best method

[slate swan]

Oh, what would be the best thing to do?

[potent spear]

I'd do like:
if drank too much, remove from dict
if he uses the drink command again
if not in this_dict, then this_dict[author.id] = 0.02

since the first drink, he has 0.2 apparently

---

then, if you want to check someone's alcohol level
if he's not in the dict => his alcohol level is 0
else: do other shit

also, use elif
you're also literally resetting someone's alcohol lvl after every drink

[pliant gulch]

You can do client.this_dict.get(arg.id, 0) then send that as the current BAC

Thus allowing for a default value if arg.id does not exist in the dict

[potent spear]

right, that'll shorten this up

Hello! i am trying to make a rob commands but i cannot not get it to send the messages can you guys please help me. There is no error showing.

@commands.command()
    async def rob(self,ctx,member:nextcord.Member):

        authorBal = await update_bank(ctx.author)

        if bal[1]<5000:

            return
        if authorBal[1]<5000:

[slim ibex]

where does the issue occur

oh wait no error shows

[royal oar]

indeed

[quaint scaffold]

Is it entering the if statements?

[royal oar]

i dont think so

[quaint scaffold]

There's your issue

[royal oar]

But i dont know how to fix that?

[slim ibex]

your if statements are unreachable

[royal oar]

how do i make them reachable? sorry for the dumb questions

[potent spear]

don't follow stinky YT tutorials first of all

[slim ibex]

^

[royal oar]

Half of that came from tutorial

I added the lists to choose between earnings and badluck

the if statesment become unreachable

[quaint scaffold]

For example, if you followed half of what freecodecamp tutorials said, you'd be fucked.

[royal oar]

I followed this one fully

i added my own code to it

[slim ibex]

no cap

[quaint scaffold]

well that's even worse

[royal oar]

to try and make the money go into the oppiste account

[royal oar]

it worked before i added stuff

[quaint scaffold]

That means you don't understand what you are doing

[slim ibex]

its an issue with your code

[quaint scaffold]

What are you trying to do below the randranges

[slim ibex]

that you added

[royal oar]

it choose the balance being taken out of the account

and added to another

[quaint scaffold]

What is Truth and bad_luck

[royal oar]

Bad luck takes the balance out of the robber.
the truth variable chooses between the earnings and badluck

it chooses the path for the robber

whether it fails

or it succeeds

[potent spear]

terrible varnames, sorry xd

[royal oar]

ik

[quaint scaffold]

Yeah, your code is very unreadable so it makes helping quite difficult. But what you are doing in the if statement is indexing a value from 20-5000+. It'll raise an indexerror

[royal oar]

but wouldnt it send an error of thats the case?

[quaint scaffold]

Yes

!e py l = [2863] if l[2863]: print('hi')

[unkempt canyon]

@quaint scaffold :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

[quaint scaffold]

Not sure why you don't see any errors

[royal oar]

that what im confused about

[royal oar]

ive been meddling with it but how would i make it work?
im sorry of im being annoying

[quaint scaffold]

Just use a tuple when you make the randrange

[kindred epoch]

Is there a way I can make my bot check if a user used a certain slash command from a different bot?

[potent spear]

you could try an on_message and look there maybe

[slate swan]

on_message would detect the message sent by other bot on using the command , but not the invocation message from user

doesnt detect the /ping , but detects the response from bot

idk about other libraries but Disnake (or mb discord.py itself) has Message.interaction to check if message was created with some interactions
Message.interaction.type will return application_command if it was sent in response to a slash cmd

[slate swan]
