!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

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

[slim ibex]

pretty sure that returns when the account was created @west shuttle

[slate swan]

Which is a datetime obj

So you can .timestamp() it

[west shuttle]

I want it in the format 1/8/2016 and not <built-in method timestamp of datetime.datetime object at 0x0000022D732B0C90>

[slate swan]

Either use Discord's time formatting or if you want to make your own format use .strftime

Cuz .timestamp() is just a number

[slim ibex]

yeah strftime'

[slate swan]

!d datetime.datetime.strftime

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.strftime

datetime.strftime(format)```
Return a string representing the date and time, controlled by an explicit format string. For a complete list of formatting directives, see [strftime() and strptime() Behavior](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior).

[slim ibex]

ahh there it is'

[slate swan]

Double datetime

[west shuttle]

so like

em.add_field(name="Member created at:", value=member.created_at.strftime())
```?

[slate swan]

How

[slate swan]

You need to pass a format to strftime

Like "%H:%M" does 04:51

q = {
  "question" : [],

!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.

[slate swan]

can someone explain why the quiz is saying that answer is wrong?

Because you're comparing a message object to an empty list

[quick gust]

these variable names lmfao

[west shuttle]

so like

%D/%M/%Y

day/month/year?

[slate swan]

Well, there is append which adds questions options and answer to list

[slate swan]

Lowercase the d and m

[west shuttle]

Oh ok

[slate swan]

https://strftime.org/

[west shuttle]

thx

[slate swan]

This has a cheatsheet

[slate swan]

You're comparing if the question is the same as the answer and you're comparing if thr question is the same as a message object

[tender estuary]

guild = ctx.guild

role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Name-here")

[slate swan]

if user.has_role

!d discord.Member.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID from roles which the member has.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

!d if user.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

if

8.1. The if statement

The if statement is used for conditional execution:

if_stmt ::=  "if" assignment_expression ":" suite
             ("elif" assignment_expression ":" suite)*
             ["else" ":" suite]
``` It selects exactly one of the suites by evaluating the expressions one by one until one is found to be true (see section [Boolean operations](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#booleans) for the definition of true and false); then that suite is executed (and no other part of the [`if`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#if) statement is executed or evaluated). If all expressions are false, the suite of the [`else`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#else) clause, if present, is executed.

Similar names: django.if

[slate swan]

Doesn't exist

hmm

if role in member.roles```
where `role` is a discord.Role object , and `member` is discord.Member

It's member.get_role

[slate swan]

Or that

and yea member.get_role is a thing too

[rain olive]

🥺

[hoary gust]

guys recommend me something to code

[tender estuary]

hack NSA

[slate swan]

related to discord bot? or something in general?

[hoary gust]

...

[maiden fable]

Dutchy 👀

[slate swan]

No

[hoary gust]

discord bot

[hoary gust]

edpy owner

hmm

[tender estuary]

Economy bot, its a challenge for beginners if you are one

[hoary gust]

not a beginner tbh 😂

[tender estuary]

Make it anyways

[maiden fable]

Implement Your Own Voice Receive :DDD

[quick gust]

I've seen dutchy somewhere

[slate swan]

||make something like an annoying rickrole||

[quick gust]

ah SRA

[hoary gust]

lol

[hoary gust]

u mean a voice transmission system using web sockets?

[slate swan]

Make an amazon deal tracker

user-to-bot voice

[maiden fable]

Uhhh, bot joins the VC, records user voice

[hoary gust]

lol

[hoary gust]

haha got it

[maiden fable]

Go make edpy

[slate swan]

something similar to what mee6 does

[slate swan]

Go use it

[maiden fable]

I don't make discord bots anymore

[hoary gust]

and any projects general?

[slate swan]

Smh

[hoary gust]

huh

[maiden fable]

#python-discussion

[hoary gust]

wat?

[slate swan]

make an API wrapper maybe

[maiden fable]

What

[maiden fable]

No thanks

[hoary gust]

wait u dont make bots anymore?

[maiden fable]

No

[hoary gust]

haha i c

[maiden fable]

Not many users

[slate swan]

was for nightwolf tho

[maiden fable]

No thanks

[slate swan]

still, wont hurt if you try making some stuff

[quick gust]

kekw

jesus christ

[slate swan]

Even worse is guilded imo

[boreal ravine]

omg dutchy

[maiden fable]

Tf is this

[slate swan]

bruuuh

A big meme

[maiden fable]

(BTW this isn't #381963689470984203 just in case)

[slate swan]

Average french platform

[bitter depot]

Let's keep things sfw please @slate swan

[slate swan]

WUT

its literal discord ripoff

niiiiiiice

[slate swan]

raises horrible syntax errors

[slate swan]

guilded is kinda good except its even less secure than disc

I hate it. Only thing I like about it are the channel types

@client.command()
async def quiz(ctx):
  await ctx.send(random.choice(question))
  answer_to_quiz=await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 30)
  if question==answer and answer==answer_to_quiz:
    await ctx.send("Your answer is correct")
  else:
    return await ctx.send("Your answer is wrong")```

Whats wrong

[tender estuary]

that's what, what's wrong

[slate swan]

You're still comparing to a message object

[tender estuary]

what are you trying to do

[slate swan]

its because you implemented it horribly.
show code

well, basically users create their own questions, options and answers which are added to 3 diff lists in a dictionary (appending)

and then

[tender estuary]

use sqlite...

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Message.content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

[slate swan]

the messages are appended

[slate swan]

answer==answer_to_quiz -> str == discord.Message

How?

you are comparing an string object with a discord.Message object
message.content is what u need

hmm

[slate swan]

so i replace

no, i just represented those variables' classes

[boreal ravine]

no?

[slate swan]

hmm

you would be using message.content instead of message there

hmm

so answer_to_quiz.content?

🚶‍♂️

yea

lesgo

"Your answer is wrong"

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[slate swan]

🤨

L

import Intents when?

use vscode

best

[brisk brook]

Or sublime for the interface

[slate swan]

is dat real nft or right click?

[brisk brook]

Right click snip snip save

[slate swan]

bestieeeeeeee

[brisk brook]

Bestieeee

[slate swan]

You think it's funny to take screenshots of people's NFTs, huh? Property theft is a joke to you? I'll have you know that the blockchain doesn't lie. I own it. Even if you save it, it's my property. You are mad that you don't own the art that I own.

Delete that screenshot.

[brisk brook]

LMAOOOOO

[slate swan]

LOL IKR

[brisk brook]

FUNNY ASF AINT GONNA CAP

They be mad like uhh uhh we own that image, it's encrypted in the block chain

[slate swan]

Dude I own this NFT. Do you really think you can get away with theft when you're showing what you stole from me directly to my face. My lawyers will make an easy job of this case. Prepare to say goodbye to your luscious life and start preparing for the streets. I will ruin you.

[brisk brook]

LMAPOOOOO

[slate swan]

Man its such a joke

[neat tartan]

While funny we should probably keep talk in here on topic

[slate swan]

Yeah

[brisk brook]

Virtual images are a joke

[slate swan]

On topic

[brisk brook]

Yes

Topic

[slate swan]

hmm

[brisk brook]

I'm trying to make a buy command for my economy

[stiff sonnet]

Keyboard warriors

[slate swan]

yeah i was facing issue but people seem to have gotten tired of me cuz i cant seem to grasp the issue

[brisk brook]

But it isn't working

[sick birch]

What’s the problem?

[slate swan]

lemme send

@client.command()
async def quiz(ctx):
  await ctx.send(random.choice(question))
  answer_to_quiz=await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 30)
  if question==answer and answer==answer_to_quiz.content:
    await ctx.send("Your answer is correct")
  else:
    return await ctx.send("Your answer is wrong")

q = {
  "question" : [],
  "options" : [],
  "answer" : []
}

question = q["question"]
options = q["options"]
answer = q["answer"]

@client.command()
async def ttrivia(ctx):
  await ctx.send("Input your question here")
  rresponse=await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 30)
  if rresponse.content.endswith("?"):
    await ctx.send("Your response has been stored")
  else:
    return await ctx.send("Entry denied")

  await ctx.send("Input your options here")
  rrresponse=await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 30)
  if rrresponse.content.endswith(""):
    await ctx.send("Your options have been recorded")

  await ctx.send("Insert your answer here")
  rrrresponse=await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 30)
  if rrrresponse.content.endswith(""):
    await ctx.send("Your answer has been stored")
    question.append(rresponse.content)
    options.append(rrresponse.content)
    answer.append(rrrresponse.content)

@client.command()
async def quiz(ctx):
  await ctx.send(random.choice(question))
  answer_to_quiz=await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 30)
  if question==answer and answer==answer_to_quiz.content:
    await ctx.send("Your answer is correct")
  else:
    return await ctx.send("Your answer is wrong")

@client.command()
async def dict(ctx):
  await ctx.send(q)```

Here is the entire code for context

[neat tartan]

Try responding to the bot with the word message instead of yes and see what happens

[slate swan]

okay

[sick birch]

Get rid of the:

 if rrrresponse.content.endswith(""):

[zealous gorge]

How would I code a bot that sends a msg after a certain time interval?

[slate swan]

okay

[sick birch]

either use the tasks library or asyncio.wait()

[neat tartan]

I wasnt sure if it was trying to look for the specific word message instead of the message contents but thats not the case

[zealous gorge]

ok

How do I make bots stay up for like a certain time then turn off lets say 9 hours

Do I need to host it with clou or whatever thingy what do I do

[sick birch]

You'd probably use the tasks extension

Then when it's time to run, disconnect from the API

[zealous gorge]

Dont I need to host on cloud

[sick birch]

you can't fully turn off the bot unless you use some sort of bash script

[sick birch]

you don't need to, leave your computer on for 9 hours if you want

[zealous gorge]

I cant

I want to turn off my computer

[sick birch]

then yes you'd probably need a cloud computer

[zealous gorge]

Can I close the tab?

the replit tab

[sick birch]

a cloud computer will always be online whatever you do

[slate swan]

yea if you use a vps you can

[sick birch]

no don't use replit please

[slate swan]

replit, is bad.

[sick birch]

100%

[zealous gorge]

Lets say I do it for like 6 hours

[zealous gorge]

what to use

[sick birch]

get a good host such as AWS EC2 instance

[slate swan]

a vps

[zealous gorge]

Computer on but replit website is close

btw gtg Im really hungry to eat sorry

[sick birch]

t3.micro instances are super cheap and get the job done

[slate swan]

well

it actually causes more issues now i think

can i make the bot ignore its own messages?

[slim ibex]

@zealous gorge use a task

[sick birch]

Also @slate swan, all the questions and answers will reset when you turn the bot off and back on, you need to make sure you put a question back into the dict if you can

[slate swan]

yeah i always readd them manually

[slim ibex]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True, loop=...)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[neat tartan]

Yes, i cant remember the exact syntax but just an if statement checking if the message sender is the bot and just returning nothing if it is should do it

[sick birch]

In the quiz command, what's the question variable?

[sick birch]

...
@bot.event
async def on_message(m):
  ...
  if m.author == bot.user:
    return
  ...

[slate swan]

the question variable is question = q["question"] from the beginning

[sick birch]

Are you sure that works within the function considering scoping?

[neat tartan]

Thats the one

[slate swan]

as in? sorry cant understand

but they are using wait_for , so probably a check function is required.

[sick birch]

Variables outside of a function won't work within

[slate swan]

hmm

so like i have to set the variable within the function as well?

[neat tartan]

Yes

[slate swan]

how do i go about doing that?

[sick birch]

Looks like something's amiss with the if statement that checks if the answer is right

why if question==answer?

[neat tartan]

Mobile discord is nice but ass for anything actually code based

[slate swan]

because if the question is
x and answer is y
x=y

So when the bot asks question via random.choice and the user gives the answer, the bot checks if the answer is equal to question

if answer is correct, it replies answer is correct

else, it gives wrong

[sick birch]

🤔 doesn't seem right

How are you storing the questions and answers? As lists?

[neat tartan]

I get your logic but the machine reads that code as if the answer is the same as the question, not if the answer to the question is the users answers

[slate swan]

the questions and answers are stored within the lists

[sick birch]

I think a datastructure like this would fit your needs best:

x = [
  ("This is a question", "This is an answer"),
  ("This is another question", "this is another answer"),
]

[slate swan]

    question.append(rresponse.content)
    options.append(rrresponse.content)
    answer.append(rrrresponse.content)```

Is it possible to make it so that when a participant left, it was written how long he was on the server in time? if yes, can you tell me how?

Help pls

[neat tartan]

I think if question.answer == answer should fix it

[sick birch]

yeah that's what i was thinking

[slate swan]

hmm

[sick birch]

You can get the join date and the leave date, subtract the times together

[slate swan]

man now its getting even more confusing to understand

[neat tartan]

As for going back to this just define the variables below the async def quiz

[slate swan]

How?

[slate swan]

yes but the variables are supposed to be appended through previous commands

so if i define it below def quiz it'll cause error

How to subtract time?

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=discord member#discord.Member.joined_at

[neat tartan]

Ah i see

[sick birch]

And the time they left would just be datetime.datetime.now() would it not?

[neat tartan]

Sounds right

[sick birch]

Therefore, the time now minus the join time = time in server

You can either just do normal integer subtraction using UNIX timestamps or use delta time

[slate swan]

:thinking:

[sick birch]

timedelta()

[slate swan]

btw can you explain this a bit more?

Okay

[sick birch]

Sure, it's a list of tuples, each tuple contains the question and the answer

[neat tartan]

I think in a situation like this it would have to be defined both within and outside of the function. The one inside the function would have to set its variables based on the ones previously set outside of it

[slate swan]

oh so i should scrap the dictionary idea

[slate swan]

how would i go about with that

[sick birch]

oops

where did i goof up

oh i see

!e

x = [
  ("This is a question", "This is an answer"),
  ("This is another question", "this is another answer"),
  ("This is question 3", "this is answer 3"),
]

for question, answer in x:
  print(f"Question: {question}")
  print(f"Answer: {answer}")
  print("-----")

^ that's sort of what i mean

would be easiest to work with question/answers

[slate swan]

hmm

but there's no way to store questions and answers from chat now is there

this'd mean that I would have to manually add questions and answers into the code

which isn't what im looking for

[sick birch]

Not necessarily

[neat tartan]

The top half of that would be defined outside of the function and then a simple x = x inside the function should pull it in to be usable i think

[sick birch]

[hoary gust]

guys any projects on discord bot ?

[distant pendant]

Would you suggest me to host my bot on repit or not? and why

[red nest]

not really

because your code would be public and anyone could see it

[distant pendant]

Yes but the Token is private

[red nest]

ok then there's no problem but replit is pretty slow sometimes

[neat tartan]

Its bad for ratelimiting people and doesnt have convenient 24/7 hosting

[distant pendant]

Where do you host your bots?

[red nest]

my bot isnt hosted yet:(

[neat tartan]

Its convenient for people who dont have coding ides and setting up a discord bot because it "doesnt need a host" but its seriously flawed in almost every aspect

[quick gust]

a VPS

[neat tartan]

A lot of people get a VPS or use their own computer or an old one to just host it themself

[distant pendant]

is this free

[sick birch]

AWS EC2

I used my Raspberry PI before that

[quick gust]

not really, there are free ones but they're all bad imo

[sick birch]

bad is being generous

[red nest]

I am struggling with finding good free hosting services

[sick birch]

paradox much?

[slate swan]

hi

[sick birch]

"good free hosting services" don't exist sadly

[red nest]

yeah

[neat tartan]

Ive been hoing and humming about getting a pi, how useful are they for coding stuff? Would it be worth picking onw up sometime?

[sick birch]

Though I think AWS has some amount of free hours? maybe give that a try

[red nest]

yeah

[slate swan]

a vps is better than a rpi tbh if its for the long run the rpi is better

[sick birch]

For sure! You can do all sorts of stuff on them, not just having them as a host. It was sort of like an intro into linux, and now I run arch on my main machine thanks to that

[slate swan]

Do you know why do I get this error? I tried searching but still can't solve the problem
" Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\filip\PycharmProjects\discordBOT\main.py", line 8, in <module>

code:
`import discord

client = discord.Client()

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

client.run(TOKEN)`

[quick gust]

I believe oracle has a free tier VM

[slate swan]

how to get member with userId

[sick birch]

problem with rpi is it doesn't scale

[slate swan]

exactly

[sick birch]

EC2 on the other hand, you can use their load balancers and scale easily

Also you don't have to worry about upkeep, electricity, internet bills, etc

[quick gust]

https://www.oracle.com/in/cloud/free/

[red nest]

i think you dont need the () after @client event

[slate swan]

yeah which for the prize of a rpi you can get like 5+ years in some vps

depends on the plan

[tender estuary]

yea you don't

[slate swan]

lol

[sick birch]

t3.micro iirc has 2 gigs of ram and 2 cores? it should be good for a good while

[slate swan]

thanks so much! i would never notice it haha

[quick gust]

750 hours is still pretty good considering its free

[sick birch]

(if you put linux on it of course)

[red nest]

so thats the error: @client_event does not need () after it

[sick birch]

approx a month

[red nest]

no problem

[quick gust]

yep

[slate swan]

not bad

[quick gust]

I mostly just use VMs to practice installing linux lmfao

[sick birch]

ah wait it's each month

[slate swan]

you practice installing linux?

[sick birch]

if you have 6 hours of downtime each month you can get a full year of it

[quick gust]

ofc

[slate swan]

bruh

[sick birch]

coures why would you not?

[quick gust]

its fun when u dont have to care about loosing stuff

[sick birch]

not all of them are click and go like windows

(arch)

[slate swan]

😭

[quick gust]

especially for a newbie like me

[sick birch]

took me the better part of my saturday the first time i was installing arch on my main

[slate swan]

meh i had to install mysql on kali today, i tried tons of times before realising that it comes with mariadb installed already

i only have windows cause some games doesnt support linux

[sick birch]

Im not ashamed to admit that i have to use guides for setting up linux vms

[quick gust]

dual boot

[sick birch]

i dual boot yeah

[slate swan]

🧑‍🦯

[sick birch]

or GPU passthrough with a windows VM

[slate swan]

im not dual booting

[sick birch]

lot of games support linux, or can be run through steam proton, same goes for some of the anti cheats

Epic's anti cheat for one

[slate swan]

my laptop couldn't handle windows anymore so i just completely removed it, the only reason i had windows was games

which i dont play anylonger

[quick gust]

[neat tartan]

@slate swan hows your stuff coming along?

[slate swan]

ayo?😳

[sick birch]

needs buttons

[slate swan]

pretty messed up went through 7 stages of grief

gimme help command interface ideas

[sick birch]

😂

[slate swan]

anything thats reactions that are used like buttons should be changed

[neat tartan]

Rip, want to open up a help channel so that we dont have to worry about other clutter coming up in here?

[slate swan]

#🤡help-banana

opened already lol

[neat tartan]

Ah aight, ill pop over there and try to help where i can

[sick birch]

Well you can always contribute 🙂

[slate swan]

nah

i dont want to

[frozen elk]

I have member id how do I turn it into memer variable to unban someone

[grim oar]

!d discord.Guild.get_member

[quick gust]

bot.get_user(id)

[grim oar]

Oh unban

My bad

[quick gust]

yeah

[slate swan]

hey nova

[sick birch]

If you have member ID you usually have the member variable

How did you get the ID?

[grim oar]

Hey

You can use Guild.unban and pass in your User

[frozen elk]

I banned them now i can't unban without mention them
So i take use id to unban them
I'm using slash commands

[hoary gust]

guys any project recommendation on discord bots?

[grim oar]

snake game

[sick birch]

Yeah good point, you need to use an ID to unban

[slate swan]

generic

[slate swan]

use apis to make commands

[grim oar]

generic

[slate swan]

youre generic

[boreal ravine]

something like R. Danny's help command without using menus

[sick birch]

Ah wait it' as snowflake

guild.unban(discord.Object(...))

[grim oar]

Your message is generic

[boreal ravine]

stop

[slate swan]

A minecraft bot

[slate swan]

hikari lightbulb's default help command does the same already :p

[hoary gust]

wdym?

[boreal ravine]

They weren't talking to you

[hoary gust]

ik but i am just curious

[boreal ravine]

Their message was self-explanatory

[silk robin]

👀

[grim oar]

User works too right

[slate swan]

this is the default help command for hikari lightbulb :p

[slate swan]

👋

[silk robin]

Whats up sar

[slate swan]

not bad

👁️ thinking of implementing a new help command

[silk robin]

Looks pretty solid

[slate swan]

👀

[slate swan]

its pretty decent as a default one

it also shows the slash commands

yeah

[pliant gulch]

Image manipulation commands with pillow

[slate swan]

hi andy

[grim oar]

a command to add 3.9 ci to gh workflow

[slate swan]

😭

[boreal ravine]

imagine using a default one 😂

[slate swan]

i wish you could align everything so the embed buttons and drop down menu are the same size

[slate swan]

how does that work

[slate swan]

yea i tried pretty much like applying filters, merging images etc

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=unban#discord.abc.Snowflake

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=unban#discord.Object

[grim oar]

!d discord.Guild.unban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.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://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

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

[sick birch]

Use discord.Object to make your own discord.abc.Snowflake

Since discord.abc.Snowflake is an abstract base class, you should never have to initialize it yourself

[boreal ravine]

same

[slate swan]

im just testing the library afterall, ill try making a custom help later

[sick birch]

Well this is discord, not a web framework not is it?

(though honestly it's starting to become one)

[slate swan]

you got a point but i wish we could

[pliant gulch]

Reminds me I was totally gonna add a built-in http server to rin

[slate swan]

you were gonna what

[grim oar]

How's the rewrite going andy

[pliant gulch]

@rin.GatewayClient.route("/guilds")
async def guilds(request) -> None:
    ...

Basically builtin discord-ext-ipc

[grim oar]

weren't you guys going to use blanket's framework for that

[pliant gulch]

no

[slate swan]

and werent you gonna change the name cause people think rin is rin tohsaka

[pliant gulch]

FastAPI

[slate swan]

I dont know now

[grim oar]

Wot I remember

[sick birch]

What do you not understand?

[slate swan]

wouldn't it return the function itself?

[pliant gulch]

also has swagger ui!

[pliant gulch]

I don't think it would here

Plus it's just psuedocode

[slate swan]

I don't understand how to do

ah, got it

[pliant gulch]

Oh nevermind it would

[slim ibex]

you return the function itself in the function?

[pliant gulch]

Actual impl would be like rin.GatewayClient.guilds

[slate swan]

Subtract the date of departure from the date of joining

[pliant gulch]

Although that isn't even right, since client has no way of getting guilds directly

[grim oar]

it's returns are useless anyways, it going in void cuz of deco

[pliant gulch]

Instead you'd need to use ```py
list(rin.Guild.cache.itertor())

[grim oar]

“a cache iterator”

[vocal snow]

What's wrong with that

[pliant gulch]

Just self.root.values()

[grim oar]

could have used the iter dunder in base cache bozo

[pliant gulch]

I could

[slate swan]

theres a iter dunder?

[pliant gulch]

The iter would need to return the cache, then I'd need to add __next__

then I have to do all this non-sense with keeping an index of the current element

Then I would actually need to handle stop iteration

[grim oar]

🦅

Excuses

[pliant gulch]

requires another in-memory thing for me to do this

since dict have no index!

[grim oar]

what is that iterator method even returning, a tuple of k:v?

[pliant gulch]

yield from self.root.values()

It's a generator

[grim oar]

oh

[slate swan]

dont think indexing a dict would be possible since its dict['key']

[pliant gulch]

Yep, you'd need to make a list of the values and keep track of index

[pliant gulch]

Easy enough, but again

[grim oar]

😼 yeah might take more space

I got the stupid

[honest vessel]

I am unbanned finally woho

[sick birch]

[fresh orchid]

why this isnt working?

@commands.command()
    async def suggest(self, ctx, reason=None): 
        count_yes = int(1)
        count_no= int(1)
        count_yes_1 = count_yes + int(1)
        if not ctx.channel.id == 933813622952562718:
            await ctx.send("This command only works in #suggestions")
        else:
            if reason == None:
                await ctx.send("You have to use ,suggest and then type your suggestion after ,suggest")
            else:
                button_yes = Button(label=count_yes, style=discord.ButtonStyle.success, emoji="✅")
                button_no = Button(label=f"{count_no}", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger, emoji="❌")

                view = View()
                view.add_item(button_yes)
                view.add_item(button_no)

                embed=discord.Embed(title="Suggestion:", description=reason, color=13565696, timestamp=datetime.utcnow())   
                embed.set_author(name=f"{ctx.author.display_name} ({ctx.author.id})", icon_url=ctx.author.avatar.url)
                message = await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)


                async def button_yes_callback(interaction):
                    count_yes =+ 1
                    button_yes.label = count_yes
                    await message.edit(view=view)

Basically it should edit the button of the message and then set the number on the button 1 higher

But when I press the button nothing changes
It will stay 1

[honest vessel]

count_yes should't it be += 1

[fresh orchid]

let me try

no

then it says count_yes is not defined

[honest vessel]

@fresh orchiddefine it as 0 first

>>> i = 0
>>> i += 1
>>> print(i)
1
>>> i =+ 1
>>> print(i)
1
>>> i += 1
>>> print(i)
2
>>>

[final iron]

count_yes = int(1)

Why are you using int()on it?

[fresh orchid]

idk but i think this is not a problem

[honest vessel]

this happens cause you wanna += (addition) on a variable that is not defined yet.

and it is += not =+

[honest vessel]

that dosnt matter at all - and maybe he use to use another language that needs type defined varaibles

[fresh orchid]

but it is defined

[honest vessel]

@fresh orchidIt is not. cause u define it in the first function not the inner function

what u would like to is more like use self. then

[slate swan]

sorry admins:)

i didnt know that

[honest vessel]

@fresh orchidu could do self.count_yes = int(1)

and then do self.count_yes += 1

[fresh orchid]

i dont think so because when I do

async def button_yes_callback(self, interaction):
                    self.count_yes += 1
                    button_yes.label = count_yes
                    await message.edit(view=view)

It says

missing 1 required positional argument: 'interaction'

[honest vessel]

i just know that =+ 1 is wrong its += 1

[fresh orchid]

so no solution

[honest vessel]

i dont know no but it hink its weird that u cant use self

i hvntg played so much with inner functions or buttons for that matter

new error here self.count_yes += 1 button_yes.label = count_yes missing self on second
and yes message is not defined so thats another error

@fresh orchidmy friend, isnt your inner function in that else: block?

or is it just my screen

[fresh orchid]

Oh yes

Is it a Problem?

[honest vessel]

it should be same indentation as ur first varaible in ur upper function

[fresh orchid]

Ok

I will try

[honest vessel]

one step at time 😄

weird python didnt say anything about that

(maybe u can have inner functions in if-statmeents i dunno

[fresh orchid]

Still the same

I cant use Self

[honest vessel]

oh ok @fresh orchid can u reach the varaible count_yes now that u changed indentations? - if you remove self

[ionic ledge]

how to dm everyone in server

[honest vessel]

hah gl with that @ionic ledge

[ionic ledge]

why gl

[honest vessel]

i think thats borderline ToS on this server

[ionic ledge]

we can do it in our private server right?

[honest vessel]

i mean ToS to help you with that

[ionic ledge]

oh like this server wont help me with that?

[honest vessel]

si

[neat tartan]

It would bw fairly easy to do but morally i dont think anyone will help because of the damages it can cause

[sick birch]

That's against the TOS and we can't help you with that, sorry

[honest vessel]

only with it is a spambot and thats a no go here

[sick birch]

also violates rule 5

[ionic ledge]

i need to use Google then ig

[honest vessel]

you should't prob even make that at all

whats wrong with tag?

[velvet tinsel]

tbh, if you think about it it's really easy

[honest vessel]

at_everyone, at_here

[velvet tinsel]

a for loop, then some member stuff

not gonna give any specifics, it is against ToS

[honest vessel]

nice so you telling him when we all say its agianst TOS

[velvet tinsel]

[honest vessel]

@fresh orchidhows it going friend

[sick birch]

let's not help them break TOS

[velvet tinsel]

binds literally fucking left the group chat

@slim ibex wtf

[slim ibex]

Ayo

I just saw this

[uneven apex]

what are some good libraries to work with slash commands

[slim ibex]

Disnake

[honest vessel]

@uneven apexdisnake

[velvet tinsel]

xD

[honest vessel]

its a fork of d.py

[velvet tinsel]

no need to ping you

[slim ibex]

lol

[sick birch]

You can work with slash commands with base discord.py pretty easily

They are considered interactions after all

[honest vessel]

@sick birchit dosnt take much effort to swap to disnake

and that fork is getting updated

[sick birch]

No, but I'm only suggesting options

[velvet tinsel]

meh

[sick birch]

If you want to use a fork you can, but nothing is forcing you to

[velvet tinsel]

ctrl+r and replace discord with disnake

[uneven apex]

but i didn't find anything regarding slash commands in its doc

[velvet tinsel]

then do some editing

[pliant gulch]

Doesn't take to much to make a slash commands class, cache callbacks using id, then dispatching in INTERACTION_CREATE

[honest vessel]

Advice, never ask for help like that just ask your question and show whats wrong errors etc. ANd peopels gladly to help u if they can

that has nothing todo with discordbots

[sick birch]

on_interaction will pick up slash commands, to register a slash command you just need to send an API request, which can be done using online tools such as Postman (excellent API testing tool)

[honest vessel]

the question is still related to python

math/python-general

[sick birch]

Not related to discord bots, claim a help channel and we can help you there

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[fresh orchid]

In

No*

[honest vessel]

@fresh orchidsorry bro i cant help then 😦

[fresh orchid]

All fine

[velvet tinsel]

@honest vessel no need to ping him every message

[honest vessel]

true but sometimes its just a habit

esp before the reply function was implanted

[velvet tinsel]

I used to ping people a lot back when I didn’t know python

[honest vessel]

say what? 😄

[fresh orchid]

Its ok to ping me every Time

[honest vessel]

i mena when do like this no need ping but before u had this u had to ping

[velvet tinsel]

ping is now off

[honest vessel]

ur sweet

[velvet tinsel]

😳

[honest vessel]

it disturbed u but not him/her, thats whats funny.

[velvet tinsel]

You also know what’s funny?

[honest vessel]

Tell me in a offtopic channel.

[velvet tinsel]

ok

[frozen patio]

hello

I am using python and I have an embed color problem

[honest vessel]

ok, can you be more specific

can you show how u made ur embed?

[frozen patio]

can I send a couple pictures?

[honest vessel]

just show how u define colour for ur embed

if code is picture sure why not

[frozen patio]

yeah it is

[frozen patio]

its a cyan color

[honest vessel]

i nvr used nextcord but try do a hex format and not a string

aka remove "

0xff0000 etc

[frozen patio]

will that work?

[honest vessel]

it complaining you sent a string so

[neat tartan]

I thought embed only had preset colours decided by (1,2,3,4,...) not any hex or other typical colour codes

[honest vessel]

wow discord.py accepts hex

[frozen patio]

ok let me try this now

[honest vessel]

if only preset colours to choose from wow stupid fork

@frozen patiotry remove " on it

[frozen patio]

i did

[velvet tinsel]

@honest vessel wtf

[frozen patio]

it crashed

[honest vessel]

lol

[frozen patio]

it needs to have the "

[honest vessel]

then its like he said ints, 1,2,3,4 preset

[velvet tinsel]

wait what's it called

lemme pull up the github

[honest vessel]

but u have also premade functions like Colour.blue()

etc i dont know exactly how they spell it but

[frozen patio]

im trying to put a cyan one in

[velvet tinsel]

you can try https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66189885/how-to-let-a-user-choose-the-hex-color-for-an-embed-command-discord-py

👍

[honest vessel]

@velvet tinselwhats ur issue?

[velvet tinsel]

thanks @slate swan

[velvet tinsel]

I dont have a issue

[frozen patio]

didnt work

[velvet tinsel]

which?

[frozen patio]

the python link

[velvet tinsel]

python link?

[frozen patio]

mhm

[honest vessel]

this what i use my oown dict of hex colours ```py

Colors for embeds

colors = {"blurple" : 0x7289DA, "green" : 0x33ff57, "yellow" : 0xFFD300, "red" : 0xB22222}

em = discord.Embed(title="", description="", colour=myclass.colors["blurple"])

[velvet tinsel]

@frozen patio try color=hex goes here

not a str, but as an int maybe

[honest vessel]

so you mean skip 0x

0x7289DA -> 7289DA

[frozen patio]

i skipped the 0x thing yeah

[honest vessel]

try both let us know what worked

[velvet tinsel]

ok

[frozen patio]

this did

[honest vessel]

ah

d.py accepts hex tho

disnake too

how come they not fix so it accepts both ?

[frozen patio]

thank you 2 very much

[honest vessel]

np happy cayn

[frozen patio]

yep the command worked also!

[honest vessel]

@velvet tinselimagine not accept both how hard that can be ...

[hoary cargo]

time for 🍴

[frozen patio]

oh another question

how do I make a kick/ban command

[slate swan]

Get the Member object and use the kick method on it

!d discord.Member.kick

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.kick

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

Kicks this member. Equivalent to [`Guild.kick()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.kick "discord.Guild.kick").

[slate swan]

Same with the ban

!d discord.Member.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.ban

await ban(*, delete_message_days=1, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Bans this member. Equivalent to [`Guild.ban()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.ban "discord.Guild.ban").

[frozen patio]

ok thanks!

[slate swan]

hi Okimii

Nice pfp btw

[echo wasp]

so rn my role giver is going by id how do i make it check the id of the role if the user picked a name of one of the roles that has its id in the list

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def embed_color(ctx, word):
    if len(word) != 8:

        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"New color", color=bot.e_color)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

how do i get the value of word

i tryed (word).value

and it didnt work

here's the traceback

thanks in advanced

[final iron]

You don't need to get it

word is what ever the user inputted

Just like defining a variable

word = "abcdefg"

[slate swan]

thx

[final iron]

What is up with your indentation

[compact ruin]

Its not like that on my code lmao dw

its just hte discord removed all the indent

so i had to do a bunch of spaces

lmao the indent on my code itself is fine i just get that one error

lemme see if i can make it abit neater lmao

[compact ruin]

Fixed lmao

idk why it keeps saying the variable is referenced before assignment

[slate swan]

i do actually

[final iron]

If chosen_Reward is not equal to coins silver or gem it throws that

[slate swan]

because i dont want a "text" liek this

i want a text like this: text

[final iron]

Okay?

[slate swan]

without the ""

[final iron]

It should still send the actual text

[slate swan]

so i need the value of the string, or else it doesnt work

i need

color=0x00000

not color = "0x00000"

[final iron]

Then type hint it as an int

[compact ruin]

OH OH OH

[slate swan]

can i join it with 0x at the begining

[compact ruin]

Ty ty i got it now

I just realised what the problemo is

thanks mate

[slate swan]

how can i join 0x with the int

cant be '0x'

well i could do color = {
'0x':0x
}

i guess

[light night]

what are you planninng on doing?

hexing the color?

if you want to hex the color, you could just hex(color)

[final iron]

!d hex

[unkempt canyon]

hex

hex(x)```
Convert an integer number to a lowercase hexadecimal string prefixed with “0x”. If *x* is not a Python [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "int") object, it has to define an `__index__()` method that returns an integer. Some examples:

```py
>>> hex(255)
'0xff'
>>> hex(-42)
'-0x2a'
```  If you want to convert an integer number to an uppercase or lower hexadecimal string with prefix or not, you can use either of the following ways...

[slate swan]

@final iron

needs to start with 0x

[light night]

oh

[slate swan]

kk i just saw that

[final iron]

You cannot concatenate an integer

[slate swan]

wtf is concatenate

[light night]

I believe this means you can't do like

"string" + int

[final iron]

!e

print("a" + "b")

[unkempt canyon]

@final iron :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

ab

[final iron]

Boom, concatenation

[slate swan]

yes

i cant do that

i know, its jsut an example

[final iron]

You could try

[light night]

maybe there's a typehint for hex types?
Then again I don't know if there's a hex type

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
print("a" "b")

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

ab

[slate swan]

what do i do now

i know you cant conceratarte im not dumb

[silent portal]

Is there a way to get all the badges a user has?
Like

for badge in user:
  print(badge)```

[slate swan]

just tell me how to put 0x with the int

[final iron]

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

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

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

[light night]

no you need to use public_flags

user.public_Flags or member.public_Flags both work

[final iron]

!d discord.Member.public_flags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.public\_flags

property public_flags```
Equivalent to [`User.public_flags`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.public_flags "discord.User.public_flags")

[cloud dawn]

Well if the user sends a valid hex why not hex it?

!d hex

[unkempt canyon]

[light night]

wait you could type hint a int, then hex it

[slate swan]

let me try this???

[outer parcel]

hi everyone i need help

im scripting a bot but there is a problem

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=user#discord.User.public_flags

[outer parcel]

for some reason it is doing the code twice

[sick birch]

Can we see the code?

[slate swan]

maybe u ran it twice

[light night]

either you have something that runs it twice, or you are accidently running two bot instances

[outer parcel]

nop not running anything

[sick birch]

looks like there might be 2 instances running

[cloud dawn]

Check task manager

[outer parcel]

wait a minute i just turned off the script and it is still working ...

[sick birch]

yeah

multiple instances are running

[outer parcel]

wdym

[final iron]

Reset your token

[sick birch]

you're accidentally running the bot from 2 different connections i guess you could say

[slate swan]

hexs arent just numbers

[final iron]

Easiest way to fix it

[slate swan]

what do i do now

[light night]

you need to make sure the word is well an int

[slate swan]

its not tho

[light night]

you can probaly just check the type

[slate swan]

theres letters

[outer parcel]

so what do i do to stpo it

[slate swan]

cant be a str

[light night]

typehinting is your friend

[slate swan]

?

type hinting

[light night]

word will always be a string, and if nothing, then error in this case

[slate swan]

obv

[light night]

but you can typehint it to be an int

[slate swan]

wait can i turn the hex into a rgb

no wait

[light night]

notice how this will not work?

[slate swan]

yes

[outer parcel]

ty that fixed it

[light night]

if it's a string it will not work

[slate swan]

ik

so how do i solve the problem?

[light night]

you could use a typehint then like typing.Union

with the word

[slate swan]

alr

can u tel me how

?rtfm typehint

?rtfd typehint

?rtd typehint

Hi back

i lost 2fa codes for my old account :(

[light night]

async def example_command(self, ctx, word : typing.Union[int, str]):

 if isinstance(str):
  return await ctx.send('sorry this will not work')

Uh, okay this example is kind of bad, hold on

[slate swan]

is self important

?

[light night]

only if in a cog

as a cog is a class

[slate swan]

like another file for a code

[light night]

as a bot.command 🙅

no, a class is something like

class Test(commands.Cog):

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

this is like a cog class, well subclass

[slate swan]

alr7

typing is red

[light night]

import typing, then you are good

[slate swan]

alr and how can i use typing union

in my particular case

[slim ibex]

a union is is something or something

[slate swan]

hexs arent just intergers

[slim ibex]

so Union[X, Y] is the same as X | Y

[slate swan]

and strings dont work

[light night]

I wonder

[cloud dawn]

Yes but you need python 3.10+

[light night]

if it doesn't you may need to make a regex converter of your own

[slim ibex]

mhmm

[slate swan]

alr i ditched the command

whatever

[slim ibex]

why

[final iron]

!e
print(int("0xE91E63"))

[unkempt canyon]

@final iron :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
003 | ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0xE91E63'

[final iron]

Oh yeah

You can't use int on it

[sick birch]

!e
print(int("0xE91E63", 16))

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

15277667

[sick birch]

mm

[final iron]

Was checking google right now

I guess that works

[sick birch]

hexes are technically another representation of integers are they not?

[final iron]

But its not a discord hex code

[light night]

You could probaly run regex on the hex with like a discord.py commands converter
Then convert it back to int

[final iron]

Doesn't discord use a "flavour" of hex or smth?

[sick birch]

not sure

dealing with hexes is kind of weird

[final iron]

The hex I showed above is what I use in my commands

And it works

[vale wing]

Can't the discord.Color be used as a typehint?

[sick birch]

perhaps try RGB, might be easier since discord.Colour has a .from_rgb() @classmethod

[vale wing]

I've seen it somewhere

[slate swan]

so i should convert hex to rgb

then use rgb???

[sick birch]

They can actually!

[vale wing]

Lol

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.ColourConverter

[vale wing]

No need for the regex

Just typehint with color

[sick birch]

^

[slate swan]

is this gud

[sick birch]

No

[slate swan]

to make it a rgb

[sick birch]

you can just typehint to discord.Colour and forget all of that

[slate swan]

???

how

[slim ibex]

do you know what type hinting is?

[slate swan]

no clue

[slim ibex]

word: Union[int, str]
Union is the type hint for the word param

[sick birch]

@bot.command()
async def myColorEmbedCommand(..., colour: discord.Colour, ...):
  await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(..., colour=colour, ...)

that's all you have to do

[slate swan]

kk

[slim ibex]

idk if you can change color of fieldsm, titles, etc if that is what you want

[slate swan]

no

[sick birch]

You can only change the color of the left bar on embeds

[slate swan]

ik]

@sick birch

[sick birch]

yes now colour will be what you pass in to the embed's color kwarg

and you can get rid of that if/else by the way, d.py will handle that for you

[slate swan]

@sick birch colour is an argument missing

[slim ibex]

you didn't specify color arg when invoking the command prob

[slate swan]

wdym

[sick birch]

the first arg is word, 2nd is colour

[slim ibex]

your command atm when invoking is !cmdname <word> <colour>

[velvet tinsel]

ok

[slim ibex]

you prolly didn't specify something for colour

[sick birch]

you need to call it like this:

<prefix>embed_color <word> <hex>

[slim ibex]

^

[velvet tinsel]

binds

fix your name

[slim ibex]

yes

[slate swan]

is it hex

[velvet tinsel]

good

[slim ibex]

why

[slate swan]

or like red

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.ColourConverter

[velvet tinsel]

because it's spelt wrong

it's supposed to be moyai

[velvet tinsel]

not moai 😠

[pallid mango]

@client.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if ".gg/" in str(after.activity.name):
      guild = client.get_guild(932840827212931123)
      role = discord.utils.find(lambda r: r.name == 'promoter', guild.roles)
      await after.add_roles(role)```

gives role but doesnt take it

what am i doing wrong?

[slim ibex]

🗿

[velvet tinsel]

take what?

[velvet tinsel]

:moai: vs 🗿

[pallid mango]

doesnt take role whenever user removes status

[sick birch]

because there's no code that takes away the role?

[velvet tinsel]

^

[pallid mango]

oh yeaaaa

how would i do it?

[sick birch]

if the vanity is not in after status name anymore, remove the role

[pallid mango]

idk code for that

[slim ibex]

!d discord.Member.remove_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.remove\_roles

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

Removes [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s from this member.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the removed [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[pallid mango]

yes ik that

[slate swan]

i dont get it

[pallid mango]

but the other part, like i cant just put blank in the "" because they might change it to something else directly after taking .gg/ out

[sick birch]

what happens you do this?

[velvet tinsel]

discord.gg/python

like this?

[pallid mango]

yes

[slate swan]

jack shit

[velvet tinsel]

!d startswith

[unkempt canyon]

startswith

startswith

Case-sensitive starts-with.

Example:

Entry.objects.filter(headline__startswith='Lennon')
```  SQL equivalent:

```py
SELECT ... WHERE headline LIKE 'Lennon%';
```...

[velvet tinsel]

!d str.startswith

[unkempt canyon]

str.startswith

str.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])```
Return `True` if string starts with the *prefix*, otherwise return `False`. *prefix* can also be a tuple of prefixes to look for. With optional *start*, test string beginning at that position. With optional *end*, stop comparing string at that position.

[slate swan]

doesnt change the color

[sick birch]

if "vanity" not in str(after.status.name):
  # take away role

[velvet tinsel]

maybe?

[pallid mango]

ohhhh

just add not in

[sick birch]

because you're setting the embed color to bot.e_color rather than colour

[slate swan]

i want it to be bot.e_color bc i want it to change the color of al the embeds

[sick birch]

then set bot.e_color to colour

[slate swan]

like this?

[sick birch]

for reference

[pallid mango]

dude what

it keeps deleting it...

[visual yarrow]

Sorry @pallid mango, caught by the spam filter. Remove the server invite link in order to post the code.

[pallid mango]

dawg i put .gg

how is that an invite?

[sick birch]

exactly like so, what's the red squiggly telling you though?

[slate swan]

why reference that

[pallid mango]

      await after.remove_roles(role)```

[sick birch]

there you are

[pallid mango]

oh wait, my bad i forgot to remove the second vanity in the not in code

[sick birch]

Also role is restricted to the scope for the first if

[slate swan]

Guys does anyone have ticket system source?

[sick birch]

move it outside both ifs so it's restricted to the on_member_update scope

[pallid mango]

does that mean i need to add another identifier?

oh

[neat pagoda]

anyone know how to fetch lyrics from youtube-dl?

[pallid mango]

okay

[sick birch]

youtube-dl is against our TOS as it can be used to write music bots, or help in creating music bots, so we can't help with that unfortunately

[sick birch]

No, but we can help you with certain problems you may encounter when writing one yourself

[neat pagoda]

ok, it doesn't download youtub vids tho

[sick birch]

Regardless we can't provide assistance with that library

      await after.remove_roles(role)
  role = discord.utils.find(lambda r: r.name == 'promoter', guild.roles)```

[neat pagoda]

ok,

[slate swan]

sickk

[sick birch]

Now it won't be able to find it since it's declared after everything else, you have the right scope but declared at the wrong place
