for time don't specify it as a float

[tardy plume]

how can i store channel id to my variable?

[light violet]

ok lemme try

[frank tartan]

1. ok
2. well even if its in the same folder as main.py, I do what the docs say, and it doesnt work

[brisk brook]

Can someone tell me why the beg command won't work?

[light violet]

how to remove timeout

[tardy plume]

atm i have this

async def setup(ctx, *, channelID=int()):

i need to get user messsage channel id value and put it to my variable

[boreal ravine]

JSON. Why?

[frank tartan]

1. i honestly forget... i tried it like 2 hours ago... 2) i kinda deleted it after it didnt work...

[brisk brook]

it's for my personal server, I won't use it on multiple servers

[tardy plume]

then use that variable to my get_channel(here)

[boreal ravine]

Set duration to None

[brisk brook]

and I'm a beginner programmer

why won't it work tho

[boreal ravine]

Why do you give up so easily 😂

[brisk brook]

It temporarily changes the wallet's amount

[boreal ravine]

Whats the error?

[brisk brook]

there's none, the amount won't change in the json file

i don't know why

[frank tartan]

honestly idk lol

[brisk brook]

is it because of the function?

[boreal ravine]

You didn't save the data in the update_wallet method

[brisk brook]

mmm I see I see

should I remove it in the command itself or in the method?

[boreal ravine]

try saving it by dumping users into the json file

[boreal ravine]

just edit the method

[brisk brook]

aight aight

[brisk brook]

wdym

[brisk brook]

it won't work

[boreal ravine]

whats wrong now

[brisk brook]

the amount won't update

[boreal ravine]

try dumping users, your json/dict object back into the json file

[brisk brook]

mm I see I see

[frank tartan]

how do i upload an emoji that is in a different folder? (like a folder in the same folder main.py is in)

[brisk brook]

it looks like my code has more issues

[green bluff]

how do i get the amount of ppl in my server

[maiden fable]

you don't need the *

@boreal ravine

what's wrong with the code

[boreal ravine]

you didn't do what I said

try inserting the new data into your json file

[frank tartan]

example?

[thorn leaf]

What library should I replace discord.py with that has similar syntax?

[brisk brook]

can you give me an example?

[boreal ravine]

are you trying to create an emoji from a file inside your pc?

[thorn leaf]

My bot is loading twice right now for some reason

[slate swan]

use a fork

[boreal ravine]

what d.py version are you using right now?

[thorn leaf]

Are they are forks that are better than some others?

[slate swan]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[thorn leaf]

Master, but last time I updated was like six months ago

[slate swan]

biased

[boreal ravine]

no just open the json file, dump the new data

[boreal ravine]

what do you wanna use if you switch to a fork?

[thorn leaf]

What do you mean?

[frank tartan]

kinda...

lets say main.py is in a folder called discord bot

there is a file inside discord bot called emojis
the emoji png file is inside the emoji folder

[boreal ravine]

I mean why do you wanna switch to something else other than d.py

[thorn leaf]

Not being updated anymore and it's having a stroke or something

[boreal ravine]

then you can read the file ```py
with open(filepath, "r") as file:
file = file.read()

[boreal ravine]

what stroke?

[thorn leaf]

My one bot keeps loading twice

Other one doesn't and they load cogs the same

Nothing has changed recently

[boreal ravine]

that ain't a d.py issue mate, thats a hosting issue

[thorn leaf]

It isn't

I'm running it, and it's running two instances in one

Everything that prints in on_ready runs once, then anything after that runs twice

[boreal ravine]

reset your bots token, and use the new one

[thorn leaf]

Don't think it'll matter

I've run exit three plus times, and it went offline every time

[slate swan]

It will

[boreal ravine]

why wouldn't it

[thorn leaf]

And it hasn't changed anything, every time it starts it does the same thing

[slate swan]

do not ask for help if you think you're smarter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[brisk brook]

bruh bruh

[frank tartan]

how do i do the filepath? like this?

"emojis/check_mark.png"?

[slate swan]

Yeah

[frank tartan]

well it says its not defined

emojis

[slate swan]

Show the dir ss

[thorn leaf]

I know that changing an access token won't change something that's an issue with the library or the bot lol

[frank tartan]

whats a dir ss?

[boreal ravine]

you have two bot instances running, refresh your bots token and use that one

[thorn leaf]

I don't, I checked that and restarted my computer which both did nothing

[slate swan]

Directory screenshot

[boreal ravine]

what is emojis?

[slate swan]

Huh?

[frank tartan]

i added an "a" to it cuz there are other things in the file

[slate swan]

Damn, show all of it

[boreal ravine]

is your bot sending more messages in a command than its supposed to?

[thorn leaf]

It's doubling everything

[boreal ravine]

make it a string

[slate swan]

Woah

[frank tartan]

why? the folder is what isnt being defined

[thorn leaf]

The only thing that isn't doubled is the things in on_ready

[slate swan]

;-; okay then, help yourself

[slate swan]

Reset the token

[frank tartan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 0: invalid start byte
i just got this error... wtf does it mean?

[slate swan]

Code?

[thorn leaf]

So explain how resetting an API access token is going to change anything

[boreal ravine]

1. switch to a fork if you want
2. that means you have multiple bot instances running, maybe you didn't close your IDE properly? reset your bots token and the other "instance" will stop since the token is no longer valid

[frank tartan]

with open("emojis/check_mark", "r") as file:
      file = file.read()
await create_custom_emoji(name="check_mark",image=file)

[thorn leaf]

omg

[slate swan]

your choice, i'm no one to argue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[thorn leaf]

I made a command that ran exit() and the bot went offline, there aren't two instances running

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

File extension missing

[frank tartan]

oh i must have copied it over wrong. but in the code it has .png

[maiden fable]

@thorn leaf do u have an on_message event?

[thorn leaf]

Yes

[maiden fable]

Mind showing it?

[thorn leaf]

Ah shit

That's it

[maiden fable]

There you go (:

[frank tartan]

any other ideas?

[thorn leaf]

process commands

[maiden fable]

Yes

(:

Was an easy one

[slate swan]

Read the images in binary mode

[frank tartan]

what does that mean?

[slate swan]

You can actually make a better system to check if the author exists in the D.A.T.A.B.A.S.E. or not

discord.Guild.create\_custom\_emoji

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

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

There is currently a limit of 50 static and animated emojis respectively per guild, unless the guild has the `MORE_EMOJI` feature which extends the limit to 200.

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

[frank tartan]

ik... 😡

[slate swan]

;-;

[maiden fable]

I was seeing it myself...

Never told u to refer to it

[frank tartan]

i changed the directory, "r") as file that you gave me to directory, "rb") as file, and now I get a new error.

'create_custom_emoji' is not defined
yet I import here

[frank tartan]

sorry 😦

[maiden fable]

It's fine

[frank tartan]

any suggestions?

[maiden fable]

With?

IT WORKED, THANK YOUI

[maiden fable]

Cool

[hot echo]

.

[frank tartan]

one more thing... how can I get the total number emojis in a server?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.emojis is a thing?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.emojis

All emojis that the guild owns.

[slate swan]

Use the len() function on the returned list

[frank tartan]

kk

[frank tartan]

less than is < right?

[slate swan]

Huh? len function

[frank tartan]

nvm

emojiNum = len(discord.Guild.emojis)

ive used len before

[slate swan]

discord.Guild is?

Use an instance of the Guild class

Not the class itself

[maiden fable]

ctx.guild.emojis smh

[slate swan]

Lol

[frank tartan]

kk

[ebon island]

What is the Syntax for having Discord play an MP3 in a voice Channel? Additionally, if Discord is already playing a sound, can you tell it to play another sound and it will layer the two or can only one audio file be played at a given moment?

[primal salmon]

yo

what if I use this for something?

if_________________
else if________________
else________?

I forgot if else if even exist lmao

[ebon island]

The else if case in python is just elif

[primal salmon]

o

but does that mean if the first one is right then it will go to the elif?

and if the else if is right it will go to else?

or u cant use 3 of those at 1 commands hahaha

[ebon island]

No, it will try the if first and then go sequentially down each elif and if none return true it will then hit the else block

[primal salmon]

ah

[ebon island]

It will only do one of the contained conditionals

[primal salmon]

hmm

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceClient.play

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceClient.play

play(source, *, after=None)```
Plays an [`AudioSource`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AudioSource "discord.AudioSource").

The finalizer, `after` is called after the source has been exhausted or an error occurred.

If an error happens while the audio player is running, the exception is caught and the audio player is then stopped. If no after callback is passed, any caught exception will be displayed as if it were raised.

[ebon island]

So if it hits the if block it will only hit the if statement, if it hits an elif statement it will only hit the elif, and finally if none of the conditions above are not it will hit the else

[primal salmon]

lemme test it out

[ebon island]

Excellent! I appreciate that Hunter!

What formats does it except for the source?

[maiden fable]

Always welcome

[maiden fable]

!d discord.AudioSource

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AudioSource

class discord.AudioSource```
Represents an audio stream.

The audio stream can be Opus encoded or not, however if the audio stream is not Opus encoded then the audio format must be 16-bit 48KHz stereo PCM.

Warning

The audio source reads are done in a separate thread.

[maiden fable]

Actually there are a few formats it supports. They all are given in the docs of the discord module (not discord.ext but discord)

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#voice-related

[untold token]

Most of it used ffmpeg

PCMVolumeTransformer

[ebon island]

Excellent. The main thing I see is the Opus encoding, so I will look into converting the audio files we need into Opus encoded files

[primal salmon]

how do I make if the error like MissingRequiredArgument on a commands?

im trying to make it for each commands

I can do it for all commands but im trying to figure out how to make it saperately

[ebon island]

type hint it

[primal salmon]

hu

[vale wing]

You mean create a custom exception or a global error handler

[primal salmon]

by global u mean if the commands has error it will give the same error text even if its different type of commands right?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[primal salmon]

thats what I already did

sadly im finding a way how to make it custom for each commands

[vale wing]

Oh

!d isinstance

[unkempt canyon]

isinstance

isinstance(object, classinfo)```
Return `True` if the *object* argument is an instance of the *classinfo* argument, or of a (direct, indirect, or [virtual](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-abstract-base-class)) subclass thereof. If *object* is not an object of the given type, the function always returns `False`. If *classinfo* is a tuple of type objects (or recursively, other such tuples) or a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union) of multiple types, return `True` if *object* is an instance of any of the types. If *classinfo* is not a type or tuple of types and such tuples, a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") exception is raised.

Changed in version 3.10: *classinfo* can be a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union).

Similar names: 2to3fixer.isinstance

[primal salmon]

lemme show ya the code

@client.event    
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(title='Missing Argument', description='Please include all the requirement!'))
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(title='Missing permission', description='You do not have permissions to do this!'))

this one is global (all type of commands)

[vale wing]

So basically its usage would be like

response = None
if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
    response = 'This command doesn't exist'
elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
    response = 'This command is missing a required argument'
if response:
    await ctx.send(response)```

@primal salmon I don't get what are you trying to make

Also elif is a thing

[untold token]

First
This is not a good error handler

This will eat up all the error that you are not handling

[vale wing]

Perhaps you meant local error handler?

[untold token]

You need to either log / raise the error that is raised

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an [`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") event limited to a single command. However, the [`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") is still invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

[vale wing]

@primal salmon this is what you need most likely

[primal salmon]

sadly ik ;-;

[untold token]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

Here, this is a good example on how to make a proper error handler

How do i get an invite to this channel

[knotty mason]

hi

I'm new to discord.py

could anyone tell me what is wrong with this code

if message.content.startswith('>channels'):
      await message.channel.send('text or voice?')
      @client.event
      async def on_message(message):
        if message.content == 'text':

          return
        else:
          await message.channel.send('invalid response')
          return ```

[slate swan]

but but....... how are you getting the message object outside the on_message

[slate swan]

which channel?

[echo wasp]

Nvm but thisone

[slate swan]

this is ot

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[echo wasp]

@silk lynx this is the channel

[knotty mason]

oh that is in another on_message

apologies, let me send the entire code

[silk lynx]

yep

[knotty mason]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

  current_guild = message.author.guild 

  if message.author == client.user:
    return
  else:
    if 'ssf' in message.content:
      await message.add_reaction('🌸')
      await message.channel.send('SSF IS COOL')
      time.sleep(5)
      await message.channel.send('but san is not . -.')

    if message.content.startswith('>channels'):
      await message.channel.send('text or voice?')
      @client.event
      async def on_message(message):
        if message.content == 'text':
          for i in current_guild.text_channels:
            await message.channel.send(i)
          return
        else:
          await message.channel.send('invalid response')
          return ```

the bot is spamming invalid response

[slate swan]

why two events?

[winter geyser]

why do you have an event inside an event

i think you want wait_for

[slate swan]

making commands inside on_message isnt ideal either

[winter geyser]

yep

[spring flax]

There isn't a method more reliable than on_bulk_delete to get the list of messages that were purged upon a channel.purge right?

[slate swan]

dont think so

[spring flax]

and the on_bulk_delete would probably be better than the on_raw_bulk_delete something right for that purpose

[slate swan]

raw would be good if you just want to detect that the messages are deleted

it wont depend on the messages in cache

[knotty mason]

i want the user to respond to the bot

with text/voice

[spring flax]

that is not how you do it

that is very very inefficient

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for Use this. @knotty mason

[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**...

?

Just do bot.run(TOKEN)

[velvet tinsel]

I don’t know sorry

[slate swan]

no, thats too hard

[boreal ravine]

what kind of references?

[boreal ravine]

just use envs

[slate swan]

everyone took that too seriously lmfao

Cool functions, right?

[boreal ravine]

useless*

I'm pretty sure returning Context, would return the class since you can only get context from messages/commands

the fuck

ok

what

[boreal ravine]

it runs code using an API

minecraft?

[boreal ravine]

you could also use https://tio.run to run code I suppose

[boreal ravine]

?

[boreal ravine]

oof

[spring flax]

what exactly is wrong?

[spring flax]

i'm trying to make a command

[boreal ravine]

a command that evaluates python right

[spring flax]

yes

[boreal ravine]

well like I said earlier, you can

1. use the exec (built-in function)
2. use an api
3. use snekbox

[spring flax]

between one and two, which is more recomended?

[boreal ravine]

Two is more recommmended. Open eval/exec functions are dangerous I heard

[spring flax]

do you know any APi's?

Also I'm not that worried about others using my eval, it's a private bot

wdym ? i'm a beginner xD sorrt

[river flare]

hello. I have this command with a sql and get this error ```python
mycursor.execute(f"SELECT gen FROM customers WHERE name = {user.name}")
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()
for x in myresult:
print(x)
emb=nextcord.Embed(title="Ainta Gen", description=f"{acc}, left: {x}", color=color, timestamp=datetime.now())
await channel.send(embed=emb)

Command raised an exception: ProgrammingError: 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''J1mk0lakos' at line 1

[primal salmon]

your commands literally said dice there ;-;

[primal salmon]

what type of bot are u making?

[river flare]

wdym?

[primal salmon]

whats that commands do

[river flare]

it gives a random string from a txt file

[primal salmon]

tbh idk bout that type of stuff

[boreal ravine]

yeah, these are the one that I use/know of. There are probably more though

https://emkc.org/api/v1/piston/execute

[river flare]

Hey, i have this, but instead of printing 5, it prints ('5',) ```python
for x in myresult:
print(x)

[quick gust]

probably because its a tuple

[visual island]

fetchall returns list of tuples

[cedar stream]

Do print(x[0])

Hi, I'am a complete beginner, and I would like help with cooldown.
Here is my problem:

@client.command
async def command1(ctx, arg):
   if arg == "arg1":
      await ctx.send("hello1")
      # add a cooldown of 60 seconds here
   if arg == "arg2":
      await ctx.send("hello2")
      #add a second cooldown of 60 seconds here
   if arg == "arg3":
      await ctx.send("hello3")
      # add a third cooldown of v60 seconds here

I would like to have a cooldown so that I can do '!command1 arg1' every minutes, but during this minute, I can still do '!command1 arg2'
can someone help me

[river flare]

okay thanks. But i also want to remove 1 from x. Do I do something like y = x - 1?

[cedar stream]

U mean dubtract?

Subtract*

[river flare]

yes

[cedar stream]

result = x[0] - 1

[cedar stream]

You need to store when command with arg1 was last used for each user, then if arg == arg1 and last_used + 1 minute <= current_time: do_something()

[stable igloo]

Ok thanks, I will try

[cedar stream]

No wait it must be current_time >= last_used + 1min

@stable igloo

[stable igloo]

ok

[river flare]

okay it works. I made it also update it in my sql. But if i run the command twice without closing the program, it gives this result: Command raised an exception: InternalError: Unread result found raise errors.InternalError("Unread result found") mysql.connector.errors.InternalError: Unread result found

[cedar stream]

What are you trying to do

[river flare]

everytime someone uses the command, it will remove 1 from x (which is 5) till it reaches 0

[brave ravine]

i cant figure out how to add my bot to my server for testing

discord changed their dev portal since last time i used it and i cant seem to find a link to copy into my browser to add it

[brave ravine]

ohh thank you

im so tired i didnt even realize it was a drop down menu 💀

[river flare]

haha its fine

[velvet tinsel]

He kept sending random GitHub repos and deleting the message

[slate swan]

Hello I need help

I wanna make a bot command that edits a message and it does loading…

And the dots edit

[clever pivot]

how to use on_message event to like:
on_ready, it posts hi on a specific channel. then everytime a message is sent into that channel, it deletes the hi message and resend it to be the latest message on the channel (how to do this)

[clever pivot]

s = await ctx.send('hello!')
s
await s.edit(content='loading.....')
await asyncio.sleep(3)
await s.edit(content='done!')```

[slate swan]

Ok I’ll try that

[tidal hawk]

Does discord have guild invites rate limiter? (return's all active invites in current guild)

[maiden fable]

Every API/ws call has a rate limit

[clever pivot]

how to use on_message event to like:
on_ready, it posts hi on a specific channel. then everytime a message is sent into that channel, it deletes the hi message and resend it to be the latest message on the channel (how to do this)

[tidal hawk]

Mhm, but thought maybe that function had some different sort of limit, because after 30 minutes of running it stopped giving me results

[clever pivot]

how?

[maiden fable]

Well, there are buckets. It works like send message and edit message have the same bucket. So if u do it, it will be counted in one group. fetching invites is another bucket and so on

[maiden fable]

Please don't ask repeatedly. Someone will answer if they know how to

[tidal hawk]

Hmm, but can you bypass it by using some sort of proxy?

[maiden fable]

No

[oblique cobalt]

what are u trying to even do

[tidal hawk]

.

[oblique cobalt]

everything has ratelimit

[tidal hawk]

Tried to create invite tracker system, and in order to get all active invites i need to use guild.invites(), but after some time it returns nothing

[oblique cobalt]

then it has no active invites ?

Use these (:

[tidal hawk]

Uuu

[oblique cobalt]

just use those events

[tidal hawk]

These are good

[clever pivot]

how to use on_message event to like:
on_ready, it posts hi on a specific channel. then everytime a message is sent into that channel, it deletes the hi message and resend it to be the latest message on the channel (how to do this)
does anyone know

[oblique cobalt]

Don't change_presence (or make API calls) in on_ready within your Bot or Client.
Discord has a high chance to completely disconnect you during the READY or GUILD_CREATE events (1006 close code) and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

Instead set the activity and status kwargs in the constructor of these Classes.

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", activity=..., status=...)

As noted in the docs, on_ready is also triggered multiple times, not just once.

Basically: don't 👏 do 👏 shit 👏 in 👏 on_ready.

[oblique cobalt]

sending message returns Message object, use that for deleting
message object has channel attribute, so use that for sending aswell

[clever pivot]

im so dumb that i dont know how to make it send stuff in specific channel

[slate swan]

How do I send message content from command

So that I don’t include command and prefix

[oblique cobalt]

channel = bot.get_channel(ID here)

[clever pivot]

ohhh

get_role get_channel get_member all the same?

get_user too?

[oblique cobalt]

i dont know about get_role*, but other than that yes. (note that get_member is only usable if u have guild object)

[clever pivot]

yes for the brackets thing i know dont worry

someone explained to me a long time ago

[clever pivot]

get_role works dont worry too

[oblique cobalt]

then ur all fine 👍

[clever pivot]

i havent tried get_user

[oblique cobalt]

just dont do shit in on_ready

[clever pivot]

async def on_message(message):
    c = bot.get_channel(ID HERE)
    s = await c.send('hello')
    s
    else:
        await s.delete()
        s```

[clever pivot]

will this solve the problem

[oblique cobalt]

you dont await bot.get_channel

get_xxxx gets stuff from cache

[clever pivot]

i forgot

ok so this works?

[oblique cobalt]

dont do this everytime user sends message, other than that, it works ye

except where is if statement ?

[slate swan]

Hello i want to send message content for example = !hello say car
And bot sends say car

Would that be message.content?

[oblique cobalt]

use commands for that

[clever pivot]

    await s.delete()
    s```

[slate swan]

Yes but I want the content for message so would I use message.content

[cold sonnet]

start if statement
end if statement

[oblique cobalt]

just get message object then ?

[slate swan]

So message.object?

[oblique cobalt]

yeah, just dont do it everytime user says :kek:

[oblique cobalt]

no lmao

[cold sonnet]

no, you use command arguments

[slate swan]

I’m dumb sorry

[clever pivot]

so what that should do is when everytime someone sends something in that channel, it will delete "hello" and resend it right?

[oblique cobalt]

you have message, use message.content
but again, use commands

let me give you example

@bot.command()
async def hi(context):
 await context.send("hi")

do (prefix)hi and bot will say "hi"

[slate swan]

Yes

Thx

[cold sonnet]

you can pass in a parameter after context

[oblique cobalt]

^

[clever pivot]

ctx is shorter bro!1!!

[cold sonnet]

which would save everything that's after the command

[oblique cobalt]

i dont care bro!11111

[cold sonnet]

and send that

[clever pivot]

use ctx or i come to hosue!!!!!1

[oblique cobalt]

ok bro dont murder me!111

[oblique cobalt]

rather than doing stuff like

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
 content = message.content
 if content.startswith("!hi"):
  splt = content.split(" ")
  # ....
``` just to do parameters bruh

(discord.js moment)

[clever pivot]

stop using vairable lazy bro!!1!!1!

[slate swan]

For example I want it so if you do !send alexlol is cool.

That bot will respond alexlol is cool but message may vary depending on command use

[oblique cobalt]

no bro!111!!

[cold sonnet]

ay stop

[maiden fable]

Whenever I come here, why is there always RPing happening?

[oblique cobalt]

yeah just use commands for that, don't get yourself to feel the pain of parsing everything urself

[clever pivot]

hunter or huney

[slate swan]

Ok thx

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[slate swan]

@oblique cobalt ty

[oblique cobalt]

np

[oblique cobalt]

heres example as always @slate swan

you can add *, text after context and you can use await context.send(text) to do that easily

[slate swan]

Ok

[slate swan]

I want it to send the message that the user sent but without command and prefix just after text

[oblique cobalt]

oh then do on_message

[slate swan]

Ok

[slate swan]

So:

@bot.command()
async def hi(on_message):
 await context.send("hi")

I’m new to discord.py so sorry

[oblique cobalt]

no bruh

[slate swan]

Ok

[oblique cobalt]

that is for command, and always will be (prefix)(function name) arguments..

[slate swan]

O yes I forgot that mb

[clever pivot]

async def on_message(message):
    c = bot.get_channel(936850185462644739)
    s = await c.send('hello')
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return
    if message.content == 'yes':
        await s.delete()
        s
        return
    else:
        await s.delete()
        s
        return```
the bot keeps spamming hello how fix

[oblique cobalt]

because u made it send it everytime user sends message

[slate swan]

LOL

[oblique cobalt]

i told u to dont do it in on_message :kek:

[slate swan]

I mean it’s good for nuking

[clever pivot]

yeah so i sent "s" and the bot legit spammed hello forever

[oblique cobalt]

because

[slate swan]

It’s a good raid bot 💀😭

[clever pivot]

bro just

[slate swan]

I’m joking

[oblique cobalt]

you send message
bot sends it
bot gets on_message dispatched
because there is no proper check to not respond to bots, bot responds to itself over and over

[clever pivot]

no bro look my code

[oblique cobalt]

bro

i know what your code does

[clever pivot]

i typed if message.author == bot.user return

[oblique cobalt]

idk that isn't how u do it

[clever pivot]

how then

[oblique cobalt]

ClientUser and Member is different thing

[oblique cobalt]

compare them with ids, but again, please dont do on_message for this

[visual island]

it is comparable

[clever pivot]

if message.author.id == (bot id)

u mean this? ^^^

[oblique cobalt]

since when

[oblique cobalt]

if message.author.bot: return

[visual island]

Member and ClientUser are subclass of User

[oblique cobalt]

do that instead

[clever pivot]

trying

[oblique cobalt]

yeah but, idk how to explain it

[clever pivot]

it still spamming

[oblique cobalt]

did u restart bot first ?

[clever pivot]

yeah im smart

[oblique cobalt]

seems like not

[visual island]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/user.py#L99-L100

[unkempt canyon]

discord/user.py lines 99 to 100

def __eq__(self, other: Any) -> bool:
    return isinstance(other, _UserTag) and other.id == self.id```

[oblique cobalt]

oh

[visual island]

they compared it with id

[oblique cobalt]

@clever pivot please use commands for that instead lmao

[clever pivot]

i used messgae.author.id == (bot id) return

[clever pivot]

but i want the bot to resend its message every message is sent

[oblique cobalt]

but why u wanna do that

[clever pivot]

its for something u dont know

but im trying to do it

[oblique cobalt]

move that if statement at top

(one that checks if user is bot)

[clever pivot]

ok

now it sends 1 message and instantly deletes its own message back :/

[clever pivot]

?

async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.id == 777052626449596437:
        return
    c = bot.get_channel(936850185462644739)
    s = await c.send('hello')
    if message.content == 'yes':
        await s.delete()
        await c.send('hello')
        
    else:
        await s.delete()
        await c.send('hello')``` this code kind of worked

[oblique cobalt]

it works

its just, you dont do if statements correctly

[clever pivot]

but the thing is it sent one mesage, deleted that own message, resent the message, and it didnt delete the last message before the human's message

for example |
me: sls
bot: hello
me: slsls
bot: hello

it didnt delete the first message it sent

[oblique cobalt]

this is supposed to delete it's own message everytime it sends

[clever pivot]

how do i make the first message delete and resend another everytime it detects a message in the channel except for its OWN message

[oblique cobalt]

use bot variables for that, im too lazy to explain

brb gonna copy paste

Need to keep track of a variable between functions? No problem!

⚠️ Careful what you name it though, else you might overwrite something ⚠️

Just add it to your commands.Bot or discord.Client instance like so:

bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.my_variable = 0

async def foo():
    bot.my_variable += 1

# In a cog
@commands.command()
async def counter(self,ctx):
    await ctx.send("Current Counter is at {}".format(ctx.bot.my_variable))

This also allows you to access this from other cogs/extensions/functions. Anywhere you have access to the bot instance

[quick gust]

!bot-var btw

[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()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

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!

[oblique cobalt]

thanks, i didn't know existance of that

[quick gust]

no worries

[clever pivot]

i still sucking at this

[dense oasis]

hi

[clever pivot]

hi

[dense oasis]

how do i make a time stamp in 24 hour clock?

[clever pivot]

how?!?!?!?

[dense oasis]

idk, thats why i am asking lol

[clever pivot]

how!!

[dense oasis]

...

ping?

kk wait

[slate swan]

!discord webhooks

[cold sonnet]

just use ctx.author.name?

[slate swan]

ctx.author*

[cold sonnet]

huh

[slate swan]

ctx.author returns both discrim and name

[dense oasis]

oh yea lol ignore the upper part

[slate swan]

I got command that you do .Tt user

And then I want it to send back user

[cold sonnet]

so a member object converted to a str is the name?

and that description doesn't need an f-string

[keen talon]

Why add a fstring for description

[slate swan]

lol

from discord.ext import commands
import os
import time
from discord_webhook import DiscordWebhook, DiscordEmbed
from keep_alive import keep_alive
keep_alive()

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

@bot.event
async def on_connect():
  print('online')

@bot.command(name="tt")
async def tt(ctx):
   await ctx.message.delete()
   message = await ctx.send("**loading.**")
   time.sleep(0.3)
   await message.edit(content="**loading..**")
   time.sleep(0.3)
   await message.edit(content="**loading...**")
   time.sleep(0.3)
   await message.edit(content="**loading.**")
   time.sleep(0.3)
   await message.edit(content="**loading..**")
   time.sleep(0.3)
   await message.edit(content="**loading...**")
   time.sleep(0.3)
   await message.edit(content="**loading.**")
   time.sleep(0.3)
   await message.edit(content="**alexlol**")
   time.sleep(0.5)
   os.system("python3 web.py")
   await message.edit(content=f"**webhook request sent!!**");









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

I want it to take the word after .tt and turn it into variable

[keen talon]

Use asyncio.sleep

[slate swan]

Time sleep works just fine

[maiden fable]

don't

[keen talon]

Don't

[maiden fable]

it will block the whole bot

!blocking will tell u more about it

[slate swan]

Wdym

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

[slate swan]

Fine

[keen talon]

Pymongo is async right ?

[maiden fable]

no

motor is, but it is made by combining pymongo and asyncio, so ig just use run_in_executor

[slate swan]

Whats the attribute for server regions? i tried using ctx.guild.region, but that returns deprecated.

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.Guild.region

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.region

The region the guild belongs on. There is a chance that the region will be a str if the value is not recognised by the enumerator.

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.region

[unkempt canyon]

Nah.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[maiden fable]

Tf

!d discord.Guild.region

Wait

[slate swan]

yeah

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.rtc_region this?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.rtc\_region

The region for the voice channel’s voice communication. A value of None indicates automatic voice region detection.

New in version 1.7.

[slate swan]

thanks

[maiden fable]

Since each VC can now have separate regions

[slate swan]

thank you

mycursor.execute(f"SELECT gen FROM customers WHERE name = '{user.name}'")
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()
for x in myresult:
print(x[0])
result = int(x[0]) - 1
print(result)
sql = f"UPDATE customers SET gen = '{result}' WHERE name = '{user.name}'"
mycursor.execute(sql)
mydb.commit()
mycursor.execute(f"SELECT gen FROM customers WHERE name = '{user.name}'")
emb=nextcord.Embed(title="Ainta Gen", description=f"Your account is: {acc}\n**Gens left:** {result}", color=color, timestamp=datetime.now())
await channel.send(embed=emb)

[uncut comet]

Hey does anyone have any good working code for a invite tracker? I coded one but it's buggy and doesn't always work so would be nice to refer to someone else's code

[maiden fable]

The question is better suited in #databases tbh

[thorny tangle]

How do use python make self bot

[slate swan]

thats illegal

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[clever pivot]

how to make a bot send "hi" in a channel, then if someone sends a message in that channel the bot deletes its hi message and resends it to make it the newest message in the channel, how do that everytime someone sends message in channel?

[slate swan]

on_message event
and check the channels ids

[clever pivot]

my on_message event didnt work

[slate swan]

can you show what you did?

[clever pivot]

async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.id == 777052626449596437:
        return
    c = bot.get_channel(936850185462644739)
    s = await c.send('hello')
    if message.content == 'yes':
        await s.delete()
        await c.send('hello')
        
    else:
        await s.delete()
        await c.send('hello')``` this was my code but it obv just sent a msg when i send something and then it deletes the message and resent it, i wanted it to delete the message BEFORE and resend a new one so its the latest one in channel

[potent spear]

your if else is useless, you're doing the same thing

[clever pivot]

yeah, how do i make it get the last message and delete it?

[potent spear]

you already have it, it's stored as s

[clever pivot]

is there something like
s = await ctx.send('hi') s msg = bot.get_message(s) msg.delete()

[slate swan]

Ik it’s not asyncio but just ignore that how do I fix

I don’t see problem

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[slate swan]

Huh

[potent spear]

that's just terrible in general

skip the bot

just import a loading animated emoji instead

editing a message to make it look like it's loading is bad

[slate swan]

Na I like if

[steady cliff]

Best discord python library and why?

[slate swan]

Nextcord

[potent spear]

dpy, rest are forks

[slate swan]

Well obviously

But if your gonna go with forked version what’s best @potent spear

Personally I like Nextcord

[potent spear]

I don't use forks, can't say

[slate swan]

Nextcord is updated regularly and /commands are really responsive

[primal salmon]

what do u guys use to make music bit

bot*

[slate swan]

Personally I dont use them but I heard lava is good

[steady cliff]

Pycord vs nextcord?

[slate swan]

Yes

[primal salmon]

ah lavalink?

[slate swan]

Yes

[steady cliff]

I don’t want to rewrite my discord.py code that much

[primal salmon]

welp I wish I can make button in pydroid

[slate swan]

Nextcord is better for update coming up aka /commands

[steady cliff]

However I need to

[slate swan]

Wait your mobile?

[steady cliff]

But like what are the advantages and disadvantages

Why nextcord? Why not pycord or any other fork

[slate swan]

We can’t really say as discord are making them anyway

[steady cliff]

[slate swan]

Next cord is one of best optimised for / commands

[steady cliff]

Wht about buttons?

[slate swan]

I’m not sure about that I don’t really use buttons

But most likely the same

buttons are same for all of them.

[steady cliff]

That’s so bad when you have a lot of new options and you don’t want to use the wrong one. You don’t know if the library collapses the next day you choose it

[slate swan]

but libraries like disnake lets you have more functionalities

its not in discord

!d disnake.ui.ActionRow

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ui.ActionRow

class disnake.ui.ActionRow(*items)```
Represents a UI action row. Useful for lower level component manipulation.

New in version 2.4.

[slate swan]

but here it is

[primal salmon]

yep

hi hikari!

[slate swan]

hey

👀 and thats not my name, hikari is a python library

[primal salmon]

;-; I know

import Hikari
import love
import like
print("Hikari Lover")

[slate swan]

I’ve never seen this error before

What does it mean

[primal salmon]

ur indent

aka your spaces

[slate swan]

Ok thx

[primal salmon]

np

[slate swan]

@primal salmon they are all the same spaces out

[primal salmon]

ma goal ;-;

[primal salmon]

show code? TwT

[slate swan]

Kk

WAIF LMAO

I fixed it trying to send it to you

[primal salmon]

lmaooo

I wanna try game bot but kinda lazy TwT

imma try Music bot ig

[slate swan]

@primal salmon

message = await ctx.send("Loading.. ")
time.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading..")
time.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading...")
time.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading.")
time.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading..")
time.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading...")
time.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading.")
time.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Alexlol")
time.sleep(0.5)
await message.edit(content=f"webhook request sent!!");

webhook = DiscordWebhook(url= os.environ['TOKEN'])

embed = DiscordEmbed(title='alexlol2fast', description=f'{user} was too fast for you and claimed [{usernameclaimed} (https://tiktok.com/@{usernameclaimed})', color='264dd9')
webhook.add_embed(embed)

response = webhook.execute()

bot.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

[cedar stream]

Do the message sending thingy in a loop

[slate swan]

Wdym

[cedar stream]

All the await message.edit

Put that in a loop

To make code cleaner

[slate swan]

Yes but it’s loading… for some and loading.. for others

So that won’t work

[cedar stream]

Have a list with .. and … and on 1st iteration use list[0] etc…

[slate swan]

That takes patience I don’t have XD

[cedar stream]

Lmao okok

Whats the error with the code tho

[slate swan]

Await is outside function

[slate swan]

dont use time.sleep , its blocking

Ok

What will I use

and your error means you used await outside an async function

asyncio.sleep

[potent spear]

don't sleep and edit to "simulate" loading, use an animated loading emoji instead

[slate swan]

^^

[slate swan]

Ok

[cedar stream]

Do you have all the await message.sends in async function?

[cedar stream]

Or u can make “bot 123 is typing” appear @slate swan

[slate swan]

Ok

async def tt(ctx, *, reason=None):
  userc, user = reason.split(':')
  
message = await ctx.send("Loading.. ")
asyncio.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading..")
time.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading...")
asyncio.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading.")
asyncio.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading..")
asyncio.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading...")
asyncio.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Loading.")
asyncio.sleep(0.3)
await message.edit(content="Alexlol")
asyncio.sleep(0.5)
await message.edit(content=f"webhook request sent!!");```

See message send

That’s problem

[potent spear]

definitely not that

also, the message stuff isn't IN the tt command

[slate swan]

Wdym

[potent spear]

your indentation isn't correct

[cedar stream]

Did u indent it correctly

[potent spear]

if you don't know what that means, you're definitely new

[slate swan]

Yes I’m kinda new

[potent spear]

any indent command?

like to show what an indent is

[cedar stream]

!indent

[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]

What is that 😅

O

[potent spear]

this ^^

[slate swan]

async def tt(ctx, *, reason=None):

@potent spear

[potent spear]

that's irrelevant

[slate swan]

Ok

[potent spear]

=> it has nothing to do with intents

read what the bot says, it isn't there for show

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def tt(ctx, *, reason=None):
userc, user = reason.split(':')

message = await ctx.send("Loading.. ")

Kk

@slate swan you should probably learn a bit of python first

Ok

[oblique cobalt]

sometimes will error

[slate swan]

I’m not the best I’ve only got decent grasp

I need to learn python better

[oblique cobalt]

if user doesnt give it anything. youll get error since you cant .split on NoneType

[slate swan]

Ok

[daring delta]

help plz

[quick gust]

awit...

[daring delta]

ooo im stupid

[quick gust]

you're on dpy 2.0+ right?

That changed in 2.0+

uh

the dpy version

Yeah ok so you're probably 2.0+

Check the docs, it changed but i forgor it

!d disnake.Asset.with_format

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Asset.with\_format

with_format(format, /)```
Returns a new asset with the specified format.

[quick gust]

@slate swan

[dusty vale]

is there a way to change a webhook channel?

[trail oxide]

Someone who can help?

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message

also calling a Member object a user is monkey brain

[trail oxide]

but what to search, im from denmark and not the best for english

[potent spear]

nothing to search, just read from the link

[trail oxide]

but can you pls help me

[oak warren]

i am getting this very weird error NoneType' object has no attribute 'bot' i use disnake
and i am using cogs and yes i have self.bot defined

[trail oxide]

Maybe "from discord.ext.commands import bot"

[oak warren]

if member.id == self.bot.user.id: this part for the code giving error

[oak warren]

no thats just dumb commands already has bot

[trail oxide]

ok

[potent spear]

from discord.ext.commands import Bot

[oak warren]

no one does that anyways

other than maybe lucas

idk

[trail oxide]

@potent spear can you pls help me with my code problem

[potent spear]

it's an indentation error, the link explains you perfectly what indentation is

[trail oxide]

nvm i found out

[slate swan]

user = await client.fetch_user(id).send(embed=embed)

This doesnt work and nor does it print any errors ;-;

[slim ibex]

whats the whole command

[slate swan]

Just an embed constructor up there and this send method

[slim ibex]

and could the users dmchannel possibly be closed? I'd imagine it would throw an error if it was closed

[slate swan]

Yeah i added an error handler for that

[slim ibex]

ok so the channel is open

[slate swan]

Yes

[slim ibex]

hmm

is there a user/member param in the function? it seems like there isn't as you said user = ...

[slate swan]

Huh?

there is just, ctx, id and message

[slim ibex]

oh ok i see

thats weird then, it should work

[slate swan]

Yeah welp ;-;

[arctic wraith]

probably have to await both

[slate swan]

Tried that too

[slim ibex]

she had await ctx.send before but that still didn'yt work

[slate swan]

Yep

[arctic wraith]

as in equivalent to

user = await client.fetch_user(id)
await user.send(...)
```?

[slate swan]

Yea

[arctic wraith]

hm, that's odd then

[devout iris]

What is wrong?

[slim ibex]

indentation

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  ...

[devout iris]

Ah thx

it gives syntax error....

[full lily]

check the lines above @devout iris

[devout iris]

i fixed it 👍

[slate swan]

nope like bones said these types of errors get flagged in the wrong place i.e a missing colon

[slim ibex]

true

but he should fix the indentation too

[slate swan]

yeah ofc lol

[slim ibex]

🙃

[slate swan]

you can make it a one liner and have you tried to get the user from cache first?

[velvet tinsel]

😳 how to indent easy 2022 (for beginners)

[slate swan]

😭

[arctic wraith]

not my code

[slate swan]

you can atleast make it a one liner

[brisk brook]

how do I construct a blackjack command?

[arctic wraith]

meh

[velvet tinsel]

One liners are pretty convenient

[arctic wraith]

clarity over brevity imo

[slim ibex]

agree

[brisk brook]

the indent of the function is a bit off.

make sure to click on tab when you want to indent

[velvet tinsel]

One liners can be clear as well

[slate swan]

await (await client.fetch_user(id).send(...) )

since youre getting a user obj just send it from there

[arctic wraith]

they sure can

[velvet tinsel]

[arctic wraith]

but await (await ...) ... is ugly as all heck

[slate swan]

not really

[velvet tinsel]

can’t you also do await ctx.send(client.fetch_user(id))?

[slate swan]

making a useless var is garbo

[velvet tinsel]

just….wondering

[slate swan]

nope

[velvet tinsel]

oh

[slate swan]

there both coros

you need to await them separately

[velvet tinsel]

ahhh

[arctic wraith]

the performance impact of binding an extra variable is in the microseconds, the memory impact of binding a variable to something that's already in memory is near nihil as well

if that little optimization is truly relevant to you, you probably should be using rust lmao

[velvet tinsel]

list comps ❤️

[slate swan]

still why make a var if you arent even gonna use it i see no real reason

[velvet tinsel]

they’re my wife

[arctic wraith]

it's just personal preference

it literally doesn't matter

[slate swan]

and yes ik making a useless var doesnt impact much but if you can make it

[solid crypt]

hello

[slate swan]

hi

[velvet tinsel]

Greetings

[solid crypt]

do any of u gentlemen know how to help me with discord py?

[velvet tinsel]

I now have awake paralysis

[slate swan]

isnt getting better learning how to make everything compact

[velvet tinsel]

starting a bot?

[solid crypt]

yes!

[slate swan]

yes

[solid crypt]

well started it already

[arctic wraith]

hard disagree on that

[slate swan]

dek drop the tutorial

[velvet tinsel]

Which one

[solid crypt]

just couple of problems with a game im creating

[slim ibex]

if you don't know python basics, learn that first

[velvet tinsel]

there are lots

[slate swan]

how.

[solid crypt]

no lol i know how to code. im just new to discord py

[velvet tinsel]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nW8c7vT6Hl4

maybe 😳

[slate swan]

dek

bro

[solid crypt]

thought id get help to make it easier cause people here are probably familiar with it

[velvet tinsel]

?

[slim ibex]

ahh ok you made it seem like you were new to pygthon in general my fault

[slate swan]

dont follow that

[velvet tinsel]

you said to drop a tutorial

[slim ibex]

that tutorial is rlly old

[velvet tinsel]

You didn’t pass all the necessary arguments

[solid crypt]

nah all good m8

[slate swan]

https://vcokltfre.dev/

a good updated tutorial

you need to know oop btw

[solid crypt]

btw they arent continuing to update discord.py are they?

[slim ibex]

also i would prolly use a dpy fork tbh

[slate swan]

correct

[slate swan]

just change the name lol

[velvet tinsel]

Oh that one

[arctic wraith]

yeah, dpy is no longer maintained

[velvet tinsel]

I thought it was a video

[slim ibex]

?

[velvet tinsel]

!pypi disnake is my wife

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[arctic wraith]

there's a couple good forks though, and hikari is a great alternative

[velvet tinsel]

other than list comps

[slim ibex]

!pypi nextcord

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord v2.0.0a6

A Python wrapper for the Discord API forked from discord.py

[velvet tinsel]

Wait hold it

[slate swan]

hikari is better than dpy imo (i use disnake)

[velvet tinsel]

Fuck no

[velvet tinsel]

h…hikari?

[slim ibex]

watch out for pincer too

[slate swan]

yes sir

[arctic wraith]

yeah hikari is probably the best choice for python atm

[velvet tinsel]

no nextcord 😳

[arctic wraith]

imo, that is

[slim ibex]

i'

[velvet tinsel]

Ok I’ll get started on hikari then

[slim ibex]

ill be using pincer and hikari prolly

[slate swan]

pincer hikari are both good competitors but hikari gets the dub for the documentation

[arctic wraith]

it's more difficult to use and get into than dpy forks, but yeah

[slim ibex]

100% cuz pincer is newer

[velvet tinsel]

🚶‍♂️h

[arctic wraith]

personally still chugging along with disnake

[vivid jetty]

Is there any way to switch off of dpy without rewriting hella code tho?

[slate swan]

everything in hikari is mostly raw endpoint

[slate swan]

yes

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[arctic wraith]

but may rewrite to hikari when exams are over ig

[velvet tinsel]

!pypi hikari

[unkempt canyon]

hikari v2.0.0.dev105

A sane Discord API for Python 3 built on asyncio and good intentions

[slim ibex]

!pypi pincer

[unkempt canyon]

pincer v0.15.3

Discord API wrapper rebuild from scratch.

[velvet tinsel]

!pypi shutup

[unkempt canyon]

shutup v0.1.3

Stop python warnings, no matter what!

[slim ibex]

lmao

[velvet tinsel]

lmao

[arctic wraith]

dpy 2.0 to any dpy fork should be mostly drop-in replacement

[slim ibex]

is dekky mad

[arctic wraith]

1.7 to a fork is gonna be a bit more rough

but can generally be done in a couple hours

[velvet tinsel]

dekky is being a dekhead

idk why people didn’t see that

[slim ibex]

🗿

[velvet tinsel]

“Dek”

[slate swan]

1.7 vs a fork isnt really that hard

[vivid jetty]

How fucked am I

[slate swan]

lol

[velvet tinsel]

nice

Okimii, how’s uhh aiosqite

[slate swan]

2.0 is the main branch

[solid crypt]

ok so basically what im creating is a Russian roullute game. im trying to send a ctx send message with embed file which the bot reacts to first with an emoji. It requires 7 members to react to the emoji to start the game unless after perhaps 60 seconds it times out and therefore the game ends there. but if 7 people reacetd (meaning 8 reactions in total including the bot) the game continues. my goal is to put everyone who reacted with the emoji in a list, give 6 people (1) and one person (2). Whoever gets 2 gets punished possibly banned for a day then will be unbanned. the part im having problems with is the reaction part. Im trying to register whoever is reacting and put them in a list but i dont know how to get their username or @ put into that list. dont know the specific commands or methods used for it so plz gib help

[arctic wraith]

depending on the size of your bot

[slate swan]

pretty easy

[arctic wraith]

somewhere between a little fucked and many hours of fucked

[vivid jetty]

Maybe.. 20k lines?

[arctic wraith]

mostly depends on whether you were using slash commands from something like discord-interactions

there's been a couple other breaking changes, but most of the old text command schmuck should still work

[slate swan]

discord components smh i hate them

[vivid jetty]

I mean I already have my own slash commands wrapper that works w/ d.py on the side, I just cant use any of the new shit when my bot is responding to a message command.

[quaint epoch]

anyone know what hosting and dtbase provider this servers bots use? bc i wanted to have an idea of where i should start for hosting

[solid crypt]

[velvet tinsel]

Lovely

[arctic wraith]

purely for slash command implementation I'd recommend disnake, probably

as dpy fork

[slate swan]

gg has good pricing

[solid crypt]

pebble host

[vivid jetty]

Ill look into it

If its gonna be a lot of effort im sticking w/ my own system tho

[slate swan]

but go with digital ocean

[solid crypt]

or just have a shitty laptop that runs the code 24/7

like never turn it off

[slim ibex]

for hosting my bot, i use vultr

[vivid jetty]

Same

[velvet tinsel]

xyz is the classic domain

[slate swan]

i don't even host my bots

[slim ibex]

does require some setup and linux knowledge though

[solid crypt]

probably wont work tho if u are trying for ur bot to go big scale

[vivid jetty]

Meh

[solid crypt]

so any one of u fellas can help me out with this?

[weary birch]

ok finally found the channel

[arctic wraith]

allows you to quite literally do

@commands.slash_command()
async def command_name(self, inter: disnake.CommandInteraction, strarg: str, intarg: int, memberarg: disnake.Member, ...):
    """command description

    Parameters
    ----------
    strarg:
        arg that takes a str
    intarg:
        arg that takes an int
    memberarg:
        arg that takes a Member
    """
    ...
```and it'll do all the heavy lifting for you

[weary birch]

okay can anyone tell me why clonechannel thing dont move channel to the place where it was before?

[slim ibex]

@solid crypt there are docs yk

[arctic wraith]

it's pretty neat

[vivid jetty]

I use entirely events on dpy

[solid crypt]

i cant find any. ive been like searching for a day. maybe i got a shitty luck

[slate swan]

there's examples on everything in disnakea git

[velvet tinsel]

docs for what

[solid crypt]

wait actually I JUST FOUND IT

[vapid dragon]

are there message/reaction collectors in disnake?

[solid crypt]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO 💀

[slate swan]

im dont think so im not sure

i havent checked src

[vivid jetty]

@arctic wraith my current system: ```py
prefix_cmd = slash_int.BotClient.add_slash_command(
'prefix',
'Check your server prefix.'
)

@prefix_cmd.on_run
async def interact(i):
...

[vapid dragon]

oh

[slate swan]

check ig

[cobalt bluff]

which api is that

[vapid dragon]

how would i implement a command that waits for a message?

[vivid jetty]

My own

[cobalt bluff]

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**...

just rename discord to disnake

[vivid jetty]

I made it as a drop in thing to add to any of my bots that uses d.py

[arctic wraith]

don't even have to, afaik

you can install disnake with a discord shim

so you can quite literally just import discord

[velvet tinsel]

lol, every fork of dpy

[slate swan]

the bsd practice

[vivid jetty]

Or import disnake as discord
