[slate swan]

andy said he was gonna publish when he has all the base model objs

[maiden fable]

ik, I'm just pulling his leg

[slate swan]

ill pull the other

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[slate swan]

How much would you rate the difference between discord.py and disnake?? (10 means a lot of difference in code, while 1 being the lowest)

1

ouch nice

wasnt hard at all

\👍 thanks

just change name thats all

and for the timeout endpoint its just like any other

!d disnake.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.timeout

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

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

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

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

New in version 2.3.

[slate swan]

lol

thanks :) I will look in the documentation :)

i am using pytube to search the youtube videos(for the music bot), how do i get only the videoid from the pytube search feature
(wrong channel?, should i post it on general?)

[pliant gulch]

It's been on pypi since 0.1.1

ALso select menus are added!

[slate swan]

no-one's familiar with pytube?

[shadow wraith]

are you trying to make a music bot

if so please don't

[gilded gust]

So im developing a discord bot and I'm using threading, the problem is my thread target is an async function, so i dont know how to properly pass it in as the target for my thread, can anyone help?
Here's a small code sample: ```py
async def func1(self):
...
for interval in intervals:
thread = Thread(target=self.spawn, args=(channel, interval))
threads.append(thread)
async def spawn(self, channel, interval):
...

Error:py
RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Spawning.spawn' was never awaited
self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

I know its not really an *error*, but my task still didnt start.

[pallid mango]

does anyone have a fivem server member count code?

[slate swan]

for personal use

🥴 not going to ad that bot everywhere

[slate swan]

await the coro

As the error says

[gilded gust]

uhm how so

[slate swan]

await function ()

[gilded gust]

but its in a thread

[slate swan]

you still need to await it if it's a coroutine

Just started disnakepy @client.slash_command(guild_ids=[927159708169674762]) async def ping(ctx): await ctx.send('Pong!')Made this but will it take some time to register?

[gilded gust]

thread = await Thread(target=self.spawn, args=(channel, interval))
```Like this?

[slate swan]

target = await self.spawn

[gilded gust]

i tried that

it gave an error

imma show it to u 1 sec

[slate swan]

.

[slate swan]

yea upto 1 hr , or set a default guild

[slate swan]

ye it worked now

great

[gilded gust]

@slate swan ```py
Traceback (most recent call last):
await ctx.command.invoke(ctx)
await injected(*ctx.args, **ctx.kwargs)
raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: object method can't be used in 'await' expression

[slate swan]

you forgot the brackets
spawn()

[gilded gust]

    thread = threading.Thread(target=await self.spawn, args=(channel, interval))
TypeError: object method can't be used in 'await' expression

oh

ok 1 sec

so do i have to pass in the args normally now?

[slate swan]

Why don't you just call the function normally, instead of using a thread?

[gilded gust]

because i need to have this running in multiple different channels at the same time

[slate swan]

Tried this one?

[gilded gust]

no i'll try

[slate swan]

bruh

[slate swan]

why not use async?

[gilded gust]

wdym

[slate swan]

use an async function instead of thread

[slate swan]

seeing it the third time

[slate swan]

lol

[gilded gust]

can you give me a code example?

[shadow wraith]

either way if it's private or not that's still not allowed

[slate swan]

🥴 understood it

[slate swan]

so basically explain what you really want the bot to do?

[proper root]

Been looking at the tanjun examples, I was wondering what .set_type_dependency does

tanjun.Client.from_gateway_bot(bot)
        .load_modules("examples.complex_component")
        # Both slash commands and message commands can be automatically executed
        # by a gateway bot bound client
        .load_modules("examples.message_component")
        .load_modules("examples.slash_component")
        .add_prefix(loaded_config.prefix)
        .set_prefix_getter(get_prefix)
        .set_type_dependency(config.ExampleConfig, loaded_config)
        .set_type_dependency(protos.DatabaseProto, database)
        # Here we use client callbacks to manage the database, STOPPING can also be used to stop it.
        .add_client_callback(tanjun.ClientCallbackNames.STARTING, database.connect)

[slate swan]

can i dm you🥴 (if no just say it , dont give me a strike or something like that)

[shadow wraith]

nope

[gilded gust]

i need it to send a message in multiple channels at once (it should send the message, then wait then send it again)

[slate swan]

🥴 🥲 ok sir

[slate swan]

why not do thispy chids=[1234567890] #a list of channel ids for i in chids: channel=bot.get_channel(i) await channel.send('msg')

[shadow wraith]

chids

[slate swan]

channelids

[slate swan]

Well since almost noone uses hikari here, you may get a better answer in #880982021852254270

I used lightbulb as my command handler

[gilded gust]

because it supposed to send a message to each channel and wait a certain amount of time, this amount of time is different for each channel

so like it sends a message in channel 1, then waits 8 seconds, and while its waiting it sends a message in channel 2 and waits 12 seconds, after the 8 seconds are up it send a different message in channel 1, and so on

@slate swan do you know how to do so?

[slate swan]

so try thispy chids={channelid : time} #both are int and time is in seconds and chids is a dictionary while True: for i in chids: await asyncio.sleep(chids[i]) await client.get_channel(i).send('msg')

[gilded gust]

whats the difference between time.sleep and asyncio.sleep

[slate swan]

time.sleep will make the whole bot sleep and the bot will not respond to other commands also
while asyncio does not make the whole bot sleep and the bot will be able to respond to other commands

[gilded gust]

oh ok

[slate swan]

\👍

[gilded gust]

imma just test it out real quick brb

[slate swan]

\👍

[strong vessel]

do the slash commands actually mean anything or is it just discord trying to pretend it means something

[slate swan]

it mean something

[strong vessel]

would users actually like using it?

compared to the normal prefix

[slate swan]

Hmm people don't really use much slash commands

[strong vessel]

yeah

nvm i'm trying to avoid doing stuff that is not 'normal' to users, since users seem to struggle with things that are 'not normal'

[slate swan]

lel \👍

Btw guys can you check #help-dumpling

[strong vessel]

response: awoo

[gilded gust]

theres some small bugs, but i think i can fix them, tysm for all your help

[slate swan]

\👍 :)

[gilded gust]

wait new problem

nvm im just dumb

so basically whats happening is it runs the spawn command but then runs the wait, and it only goes to the next iteration when the wait is complete, which is not what i want @slate swan can you help?

[strong vessel]

if there is wait of course it would wait?

that's what the wait does?

[gilded gust]

yes i know

so i need to change it to something else

[strong vessel]

just return maybe

[gilded gust]

but idk to what

why?

[strong vessel]

oh nvm

yeah its structure wouldn't work as is, you want an iteration that executes a bunch of stuff. all i can think of is to put the await outside of the iteration. i'm no expert though but it's my best guess

actually idk

[gilded gust]

1111111      11111111
       22222222      2222222
               33333333          3333333
       |-----||------|-----------|
          6s     8s       12s
``` This is kinda how i want it to be where a ton of ones means task 1, a ton of two means task 2, etc (not for scale)

[strong vessel]

i don't get it

oh i see

[gilded gust]

yea

I'll show you whats happening now 1 sec

[strong vessel]

you wanted to preserve the chronology 1->2->3 but able to execute these jobs in parallel

for i in jobs
  await 1
  await 2
  await 3

oops no

[gilded gust]

111111                                        111111
              2222222
                             333333       
      |-----|        |------|      |----------|
        6s              8s              12s
``` This is how its going on rn

[strong vessel]

idk but maybe need to use a generator

this is way beyond me tbh i can't figure it out

[gilded gust]

thats why i thought i should use threading

[slate swan]

ye you should use threading then

so have you tried useing threading

[gilded gust]

i did try

[slate swan]

so whats the result?

[gilded gust]

error

[gilded gust]

these

[slate swan]

what erro

[strong vessel]

sounds painful though, because if you wanted to run threads in parallel in python it becomes really error-prone due to GIL

[slate swan]

I guess threading cannot be used for await functions

[gilded gust]

ooh i found a solution on stack overflow

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59645272/how-do-i-pass-an-async-function-to-a-thread-target-in-python
In case you guys wanna check it out

[slate swan]

Try doing this```py
async def func1(channel, interval): #the function we wanted to run
#do something

def triggeer_func1(channel, interval): #an alternative function to trigger the function we want to run
asyncio.run(func1(channel, interval))

thread=threading.Thread(target=trigger_func1, args=(channel, interval)) #run the alternative function
thread.start()```

[gilded gust]

ok imma test it out

[gusty hatch]

how would I make a dropdown for an embed with nextcord

[slate swan]

You can also do```py
async def func1(channel, interval): #the function we wanted to run
#do something

thread=threading.Thread(target=asyncio.run, args=(func1(channel, interval))) #run the main function
thread.start()```

[gilded gust]

it gave me a giant error

[slate swan]

whats the error?

[gilded gust]

i'll try this

[gusty hatch]

.snipe

[pallid mango]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)
async def globalban(ctx, user : discord.User, reason=None):
  if user == None:
    await ctx.reply("Please mention a user!")
  else:
    for guild in client.guilds:
      await ctx.discord.User.send("You have been permanently global banned from SALRP!")
      await guild.ban(user, reason=reason)```

[slate swan]

\😏

[pallid mango]

im imaging the ctx.discord.User.send is not right AT ALL dont worry

i just want to send a message to the user we are banning

[gilded gust]

still giant error

[slate swan]

do thispy await user.send('your message')

[slate swan]

whats the error?

[velvet tinsel]

What’s he trying to do?

[slate swan]

@pallid mango

[pallid mango]

ill try

[gilded gust]

its really long i'll send you the end

[maiden fable]

Is it just me or unicode sucks?

Not targeting u or smth

[slate swan]

use \👍

[maiden fable]

Just a general question

[maiden fable]

Ik...

[slate swan]

nah its good

[strong vessel]

unicode keeps dumping massive numbers and symbols it is so annoying

[slate swan]

:>

[strong vessel]

idk how to deal with it

[maiden fable]

Ever tried ansi?

[strong vessel]

like ok 230948q3059283532052345345

jfl what i'm gonna do with the 20358239537235235 unicode

[slate swan]

I guess I can't help with that sorry

[slate swan]

I heard discord is adding ansi for code block

is it true or just a rumor?

[maiden fable]

It already has

omg that looks like fun

[gilded gust]

nice

[strong vessel]

i'd never use it for anything though idk

[maiden fable]

Doesn't work on mobiles tho

[slate swan]

ah so bad

[slate swan]

how does it looks at your point?

[strong vessel]

i'm sure it will work on mobile eventually

[strong vessel]

discord seems to put massive effort into stuff like this

[maiden fable]

Mhm

[slate swan]

you on mobile too?

[maiden fable]

BTW fun fact: Mobiles still don't have support for user and message commands

[strong vessel]

oof

[slate swan]

wdym?

[maiden fable]

The commands u get after right clicking a user/message and going to apps option

[slate swan]

ah

ye

lel

[quick gust]

discord's "eventually" has a different definition

[strong vessel]

why is it so hard to dm a bot

[quick gust]

it's not

[strong vessel]

like the process is i have to make a private server, add the bot to the server, then dm the bot.
if i try to copy paste the 'bot dm link' it will not work

i wish i could just copy paste a 'bot dm link'. even if i try to 'look up the bot name in dm' it doesn't seem to work

[quick gust]

huh?

if you have the bot ID u can just go to https://discord.com/users/id

[spring flax]

Is the ainsi support fully released?

[quick gust]

not for mobiles

[strong vessel]

in order for the copy paste dm link to work, you need to have dmed the bot, but then, the bot cannot dm you unless it has a mutual server with you, which effectively means you'd need to have added the bot to your private server

[median flint]

SOMEONE HELP ME MY BRAIN IS DYING

@client.command()
async def job(ctx):
  user = ctx.author
  em = discord.Embed(title= "Jobs", color=discord.Color.random())
  for i in jobs:
    print(i)
    print(jobs[i])
    print(jobs[i["pay"]])
    em.add_field(name = i, value="Pay: {} | XP:  {}".format(jobs[i["pay"]], jobs[i["XP"]]))
  await ctx.send(embed = em)```

[strong vessel]

that redirects to https://discord.com/channels/@me

[median flint]

WHY WONT THIS WORK

[slate swan]

whats the error?

[median flint]

There is no error

it just wont work

[quick gust]

yes, and the popup should look something like this

[slate swan]

jobs defined?

[median flint]

jobs = {
  "Janitor": {"pay": 1500, "XP": 50, "XPneeded": 0},
  "Teacher": {"pay": 0, "XP": 250, "XPneeded": 500}
}

[strong vessel]

i never get popup..

[quick gust]

strange

[slate swan]

try printing something after each line and see where it stops

[median flint]

it stops at the em.addfield()

[strong vessel]

it just says 'no text channels'

[quick gust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[strong vessel]

i feel discord purposely forces so you have to do a lot of steps to dm a bot

[quick gust]

are u in a mutual server with the bot?

[slate swan]

have you tried printing something after em.add_field?

[strong vessel]

yeah i guess what i could do instead, is to dm every single person in every channel the bot is in, it's the fastest way for the bot to get in their dms

[quick gust]

an _ between add and field

[slate swan]

@quick gust

he already has

[quick gust]

oh then what he sent later was different ig

[slate swan]

ye

[quick gust]

do u have an on_command_error event?

[median flint]

nope

it says nothing it just doesn't run

[slate swan]

have you tried printing after em.add_field()???

[median flint]

and if I try writing a print(jobs[i["pay"]]

[median flint]

yeah nothing goes after it

[slate swan]

hmmm....

[median flint]

@client.command()
async def job(ctx):
  user = ctx.author
  em = discord.Embed(title= "Jobs", color=discord.Color.random())
  for i in jobs:
    print(jobs[i["pay"]])
    em.add_field(name = i, value="Pay: {} | XP:  {}".format(jobs[i["pay"]], jobs[i["XP"]]))
  await ctx.send(embed = em)

didn't print anything after I ran it in my server

[slate swan]

try thispy try: em.add_field() #fill it except Exception as e: print(e) print(em)

[median flint]

Nothing printed

I don't think the problem is the em.addfield

I think it's the jobs[i["pay"]]

[slate swan]

ah

Lol

I figured out

[median flint]

what is it

[slate swan]

replace jobs[i["pay"]] with jobs[i]["pay"] lol it was a common error

[median flint]

GOD

NOWHY

[slate swan]

lol

[median flint]

HOW DID I LET THIS HAPPEN

I'VE BEEN USING PYTHON FOR A YEAR

[strong vessel]

pwned jfl

[median flint]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[slate swan]

Haha

[strong vessel]

shrekt

[slate swan]

and the thing is that no one noticed lol

[median flint]

lol

[strong vessel]

i guess the [i["pay"]], jobs[i["XP"] part too

[slate swan]

ye

every list part

[strong vessel]

idk though i mean if i was a job object containing pay and XP it would make sense

oops nvm

it would then be i["pay"] instead of jobs[i["pay"]] but still not jobs[i]["pay"]

[slate swan]

can i use async twice under @client.command()?

[cursive hollow]

How to make a bot online ;-;

[quick gust]

what do u mean? you only define a function once

[cursive hollow]

My bots not coming online

[quick gust]

you run it

[quick gust]

error?

[slate swan]

printing iwll only show in terminal

[cursive hollow]

Yes

[strong vessel]

@client.command()

  await ctx.send(embed = em)

[cursive hollow]

Error

[quick gust]

show error

[slate swan]

do you want print statement to be in just terminal?

[cursive hollow]

Wait

[quick gust]

they have already figured out the error

[slate swan]

hmm

[quick gust]

^

[strong vessel]

@client.command()

    em.add_field(name = job, value="Pay: {} | XP:  {}".format(job["pay"], job["XP"]))
  await ctx.send(embed = em)

idk just guessing

[quick gust]

dont spoonfeed btw, they understood whats wrong so they'll do it on their own

[slate swan]

im too noob to spoonfeed lmao

im like day 4 into coding

you should not name a variable inside a function same as the function name :')

^

where is jobs defined btw @strong vessel

[strong vessel]

no idea lol its not my code

[slate swan]

well if its not defined then you can't get anything lol

[strong vessel]

i was replying to someone else question

[slate swan]

i presume that jobs is either a dictionary or a list

mhm, and seems like they solved the issue already

[strong vessel]

idk i have no idea i was just guessing

[slate swan]

It's a dict

[strong vessel]

yeah its all good

[slate swan]

^^^

[slate swan]

i need to learn more about dict tbh

[strong vessel]

so discord bots can mass spam by DMing every person in every server it is in?

i mean i know the welcome bots do that

i'm not trying to spam of course, but trying to see if i can DM everyone

[quick gust]

of course, and its against the ToS if you do it with the purpose to spam them

[slate swan]

Yes, sure

[pallid mango]

@client.event()
async def on_message_delete(message):
    embed=discord.Embed(title="{} deleted a message".format(message.member.name), description="", color="Blue")
    embed.add_field(name= message.content, value=f"This message has been deleted by {message.user}!")
    channel=client.get_channel(919024469023002631)
    await channel.send(channel, embed=embed)```

getting something about coro

[slate swan]

.event

[strong vessel]

is it spam if i'm trying to provide a welcome message to the bot? like just one message

[slate swan]

no need of brackets

[pallid mango]

oh

[quick gust]

nope i dont think so

[strong vessel]

ok i can try to implement that ig

[quick gust]

since the purpose is a welcome message, not to spam someone

[slate swan]

no brackets for first line

[slate swan]

no, but it would be really great if you allow servers to configure if they want to dm the message or not

[strong vessel]

yeah but it is a welcome to the bot, not to the server

[quick gust]

Oh

[strong vessel]

sounds complex

[quick gust]

still should be good I think?

yeah it should be

tons of bots do it

[strong vessel]

also i don't understand why when i copy paste the bot link to add to server it is permissions=0 but ig still able to read and send messages which is more than permissions 0?

[quick gust]

you're talking about dming a user when they first use your bot right?

[pallid mango]

@client.event

now its saying message has no attribute user

[strong vessel]

i meant when the server owner adds the bot it would dm all the users, but if that is too spammy i could try dm user on first use of bot

[quick gust]

Ok yeah thats spammy

[strong vessel]

yeah i'll just do the first use thing

[slate swan]

It means the bot's own role has no permissions ( or actually it does not get created) , if bot has any other permissions it does

[pallid mango]

ngl i might be to tired and hungover to be coding lmfao

[quick gust]

do the first use thing, yes

[slate swan]

That would be better, since that may be annoying

[median flint]

use message.author

[pallid mango]

okay

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.author , typehint stuff to get an idea of the object's properties

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.author

A Member that sent the message. If channel is a private channel or the user has the left the guild, then it is a User instead.

oh color is wrong isnt it

[slate swan]

color should be an object, or an integer

use discord.Color.blue() there

[clever field]

i have ini file with section "analogue"

[analogue]

how fix this ?

[maiden fable]

American vs English English 👀

[slate swan]

both works

[maiden fable]

It should be a list, not a single string

[maiden fable]

Ik, but docs

[maiden fable]

[config[][]]

[slate swan]

It's because all they did is ```py
class Colour:
...

Color = Colour()

[clever field]

[config['analogue']['poll']]?

[maiden fable]

Well, what people do is

class Colour:
    . . . 
Color = Colour

[maiden fable]

Indeed

[maiden fable]

That's why the Color class isn't present in the docs

[clever field]

thx

[maiden fable]

Huh?

[pallid mango]

okay so basically, i want the command to work if a user has any of these roles

[quick gust]

has_any_role right?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_any_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_any\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_any_role(*items)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has **any** of the roles specified. This means that if they have one out of the three roles specified, then this check will return True.

Similar to [`has_role()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role "discord.ext.commands.has_role"), the names or IDs passed in must be exact.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") if the user is missing all roles, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

[pallid mango]

so just change to commands.has_any_role

[quick gust]

yeah

[pallid mango]

wait it says something when i hover over one of them

[quick gust]

but it will check for only one role, so if the author has even one of the roles, it will execute the command

[maiden fable]

Remove the =True

[pallid mango]

ohhh

thank you hunter

[slate swan]

has_role is also a thing but it checks if the author has. All the role mentioned

Sorry to interrupt, but If I'm doing a loop, it's ok if I open client every time in the loop, as long as I close it, right? I have a discord bot that is working only on the first instance of an event happening, but then will not work after the second or third or later instances.

it's more like a crutch, if u need optimization for bot

[fluid spindle]

Is it possible to change the time-out duration of a View?

[sullen surge]

I have a loop that finds places in the US where the weather meets a condition. Then within that loop, if it's in a certain state, I set a variable to 1. If that variable is 1 (within the bigger loop), then I execute this code:

if discordnumber == 1:
                        client = discord.Client()

                        @client.event
                        
                        async def on_ready():
                            print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
                            channel = client.get_channel(channelid)
                            await client.wait_until_ready()
                            await channel.send(discordtext)
                            await client.close()
                            
                        client.run('token')

But this only works on the first instance, not on later ones. This bot also sends a tweet, which works, so it's not a script error elsewhere.

[clever field]

I don't even know how to do it

there it can work for a couple more seconds

after closing

[clever field]

[sullen surge]

Darn, ok.

Well, let me ask a different way. What's the best way to set up a bot to send a message whenever something happens in the backend. Should I open the connection then use an event other than on_ready() to send it?

[pallid mango]

OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use

how do i fix this in my keep_alive.py

[clever field]

aaaakh

[clever field]

u can get channel and create message

channel = bot.get_channel(ID)

await channel.send(MESSAGE)

[sullen surge]

And that doesn't have to be within an async function?

[clever field]

maybe I misunderstood the message

[clever field]

As I know maybe

I'm probably going to do more than my bot

[vale wing]

What kind of backend

[sullen surge]

MySQL database being updated, I'm hitting it with Python and when I get a valid result, I want to tweet it (this works always) and send a message to a discord server (this works, but only the first instance). So I tend to think it's something with my discord portion of the script

[vale wing]

You update the database with the external python script right?

[sullen surge]

Yeah exactly, all that stuff works perfectly

And the tweeting script works perfectly, a few days ago someone asked for the discord functionality

[vale wing]

You want to make the bot do something from the script that interacts with the db, am I correct?

[valid galleon]

so im trying to get the id of the mentioned channel in the command, and im type hinting the param "channel" to discord.TextChannel. when i use channel.id, i get the error:
Converting to "_UnionGenericAlias" failed for parameter "channel".

[vale wing]

[sullen surge]

Yeah it's basically something like this:

1. Event happens in real world
2. External python script updates mysql database
3. Script in question searches mysql database and has a new result
4. If item hasn't previously been tweeted/sent to discord, then tweet it and send to discord via this code here: #discord-bots message

[vale wing]

Personally I just send raw requests to discord API in such case, but there must be a better method

Usually the apps are integrated into bots

There are several ways to implement this ig

[sullen surge]

Here's a bigger example of code if it helps

    try:
        with connection.cursor() as cursor:
            sql = "query in here" 
            try:
                cursor.execute(sql,currentdate)
            except Exception as e:

[vale wing]

In your case you can only rewrite everything into asynchronous application or make a raw request to discord API. You don't really need the full library as it seems

[stuck flare]

i dont understand whats "ctx" can someone explain it to me

[sullen surge]

raw request seems to be the way, do you happen to know of any good tutorials? My bot is so simple I don't want to overthink this

[vale wing]

Could you show code and how you use the command?

[vale wing]

Just check docs for requests lib, you don't need aiohttp as your application is not asynchronous

!pypi requests

[unkempt canyon]

requests v2.27.1

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

i use it to to add/edit stuff inside a mongodb collection:

Wrong typehint

You set a default value, not a typehint

More correct

typehint it, you are setting the default value

.. you need to invoke the command with a duration aswell

idk how

[vale wing]

That weird time converter is here again

Why not just use regex for time conversion

[pallid mango]

because i dont know how

[quick gust]

we are not that smart exen 😔

[vale wing]

I mean it's not that hard

r"\dm" #for mins
r"\dh" #for hours
#etc```

[pine crown]

lol

[quick gust]

i haven't even touched regex

[vale wing]

Understandable

Regex might be difficult to figure out but it is totally a useful feature

[pallid mango]

sooo

could someone help me understand lol 😢

[tawdry perch]

to understand regex?

[pine crown]

he doesnt

[pallid mango]

no

[quick gust]

true, probably should try to learn it lol

thats cool but in the mean timeee. 🥺

why for the seconds i am only able to put the seconds from 1-10? if i go above that, e,g i put 25s it makes it as 2s

[quick gust]

use regex as Exen said

[pine crown]

idk how to use regex but im close to making it work ^^

[boreal ravine]

the d.py server has a regex for this (r!tag bettertimeconverter, you'd only need to typehint time to the class and time would return the seconds you inputted e.g !temprole @Member @Role 1h -> 3600s)

!d discord.Guild.audit_logs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.audit\_logs

async for ... in audit_logs(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, oldest_first=None, user=None, action=None)```
Returns an [`AsyncIterator`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AsyncIterator "discord.AsyncIterator") that enables receiving the guild’s audit logs.

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

Examples

Getting the first 100 entries:

```py
async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=100):
    print(f'{entry.user} did {entry.action} to {entry.target}')
```...

[maiden fable]

Gotta use this

Okay

  await ctx.author.remove_roles(unverifiedRole)

  verifiedRole = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="member")
  await ctx.author.add_roles(verifiedRole)```anyone know why this doesnt work? i use it as "+update {member}" and it doesnt send anything nor update the member i mentioned

?

[slate swan]

Nvm

[slate swan]

?

[fervent shard]

^^

[slate swan]

Does the server have a role named unverified and member ( all in lower case)

[slate swan]

There's a method, I'll check it an brb

[fervent shard]

yeah

[digital barn]

when can i start making discord bots? after mastering beginner/intermediate or advanced py?

[slate swan]

Does the command get executed? Try adding print statements on each step to debug it

[fervent shard]

alrr

[slate swan]

Intermediate knowledge with concepts like OOP and asyncio would be good

[digital barn]

ty

[slate swan]

if you are ready to push yourself in learning things you can start it as a beginner with basic python knowledge too

[fervent shard]

i added prints, they didnt show up

[slate swan]

Try printing unverifiedRole and verifiedRole

[slate swan]

Can you tell me?

[fervent shard]

i printed everything in the code, the print didnt show on the console

and no errors ^^

[slate swan]

do you have an on_message event?

[slate swan]

I'm unsure if it would work, and I'll need to search for it

[slate swan]

Ok, you will search?

[fervent shard]

yep but i change it to @bot.listen()

[slate swan]

Tried searching in dpy server. Got this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559455534965850142/755074347189927967/unknown.png

Tnx bro!

[slate swan]

hm, it seems like the bot is unable to find those roles

ctx = commands.Context
m = SomeCommands.embeded_message()
m()

Getting this error message: TypeError: 'coroutine' object is not callable
sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Command.call' was never awaited
function looks like this:

        
        embed = discord.Embed(title='productname', url="https://test.com", colour=0x87CEEB, timestamp=datetime.utcnow())
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[fervent shard]

why? it worked with the other command

[slate swan]

Why do you call the function?

[tender estuary]

what is jobs here you did not define jobs

[slate swan]

no idea, if it's for a single server, try using Guild.get_role method to get the role and adding it

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

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

[slate swan]

Because based on my other function i would like to sent it a message

[slate swan]

CTX is available only when a command is invoked from discord....

not by calling it thru a function

[slate swan]

ah thanks. what should i use instead?

[misty quest]

Is there a way to generate a discord link to authorize bot and when user agrees some role is given?

[dry kelp]

https://mystb.in/ConsecutivePromotesCookies.python

What the code should do is reset the guild vanity url if it was changed

What does it do so far?
Bans the member and sends the log if the log channel is set

What should it do?
Set the guild vanity code to the before url code

What's ur issue?
I can't get the before-after url code

before.vanity_invite.code pretty sure this has no atr

Make a file name data.json

[scarlet aurora]

thanks

i already made a file named config.json

[grand hazel]

Change the filename then

[scarlet aurora]

yeah ok

how do i call the token in the json file?

[slate swan]

invoke the command from discord...

Helpp

[nimble plume]

hecl

[slate swan]

thats not how json files work, dump takes an dictionary

[vale wing]

You can only check the latest audit entries

[slate swan]

json.dump(dict , file)

[grand hazel]

Input in console

[scarlet aurora]

i mean how do i retrieve from data.json

[grand hazel]

Wait k

filename = "data.json"
with open(filename, 'r') as file_object:
data = json.load(file_object)
print(data)

[slate swan]

What?

[grand hazel]

It seems so illegal without ‘’’

[scarlet aurora]

Can't this be done...?

i want it so that every time i host the bot, (console) it will run that so the token doesn't have to be input

[slate swan]

what's the point of inputting bot token/

just bot.run('token')

[scarlet aurora]

cuz i want to distribute it

and i don't want MY token in it

[grand hazel]

Ikr

[grand hazel]

From console?

[scarlet aurora]

yes

[slate swan]

ask them to create an env file themselve

[grand hazel]

Then just

[vale wing]

Env > json in terms of storing token

[scarlet aurora]

so everytime i run the file, i want it to fetch from config.json the TOKEN they inputed last time

[grand hazel]

Token = input(“token : )
Bot/client.run(Token

[vale wing]

Or you can even encrypt it

[grand hazel]

Oooooo

[scarlet aurora]

YES

[vale wing]

Idk what tf for but I always encrypt my tokens

[grand hazel]

Token = config.get("Token")

Then bot.run(Token)

[vale wing]

Yeah

Have you checked?

If you can't find it I can screenshot for you

[scarlet aurora]

@grand hazel but this is the config file

it just has the token there

[grand hazel]

Yee just do what i did

[grand hazel]

.

[scarlet aurora]

where do i put that

[vale wing]

Yeah

+5 user +5 message

Kinda stupid that discord is forcing us to migrate to slash commands and they put limit to those

[scarlet aurora]

@grand hazel so how do i make it overwrite token = input when the token is already in config.json

[vale wing]

I will have to scam them for message content intent

[grand hazel]

Dude can u help him

I kinda have my own problem at #help-carrot

[vale wing]

Yeah

[scarlet aurora]

@vale wing

i need help

[vale wing]

@scarlet aurora so you want to store the token in json file?

[scarlet aurora]

i want it to overwrite the token = input when there is an existing token in config.json

[solar ridge]

If you wont use the stored token and overwrite it everytime then why are you storing it

[scarlet aurora]

?

the first time i run the programme, it asks me to input a token

then stores in json

everytime other time it wont ask me for input, it just uses the token in config

[vale wing]

First, create a file config.json or whatever you would like to name them

Next, this is how you fetch the json dictionary from file

import json

with open('config.json', 'r') as f:
    config = json.load(f)```

You will have the contents of json file in dictionary format in your `config` variable. You can operate with it as with any dict.

After you completed required operations, just overwrite the file with the modified dict
```py
with open('config.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(config, f)```

[solar ridge]

Then what's this

[tender lily]

Is it possible to copy an embed by Id and get same embed paste in other server

[dire folio]

Can bots make these events

[vale wing]

You can only copy embed object or convert it to dict and then transfer

[vale wing]

Pretty sure they can

[tender lily]

Wdym

[vale wing]

You can just send the same embed object to somewhere?

[tender lily]

Yss

How

[vale wing]

You mean how to get it from a message right?

[tender lily]

Any bot their for it

[tender lily]

Yes by message id

[scarlet aurora]

@vale wing i made it so that it stores it in config.json but i don't understand how to make it so that it wont ask me for input next time

[vale wing]

!d discord.Message.embeds just get the first element

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.embeds

A list of embeds the message has.

[vale wing]

Simple if condition. Like

if config['token'] != '':
    ...```

Or check the len

[tender lily]

So now to do

[scarlet aurora]

do i do this before the input or after

[vale wing]

Why not check docs

[vale wing]

Before, as you want to check if there's already a token

[scarlet aurora]

NameError: name 'config' is not defined```

[vale wing]

You didn't understand it seems 🙁

[scarlet aurora]

😦

[vale wing]

Have you figured it out?

[scarlet aurora]

i did create the config.json file

and i made it so that it stores the input in there

[vale wing]

First you need to fetch file's content

[slate swan]

what other i can use than ctx to just sent a message

[vale wing]

The message itself?

[scarlet aurora]

with open('config.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(config, f)
if config['token'] != '':
    ...```

[vale wing]

It has most of the attributes context has

[scarlet aurora]

so like this?

[slate swan]

I would like to sent embded message by just calling it from a function

[vale wing]

This is saving file, you need to load it first

[scarlet aurora]

with open('config.json', 'r') as f:
    config = json.load(f)
if config['token'] != '':
    ...```

so like this?

[vale wing]

Well, you can use msg.channel.send

[vale wing]

Yeah

[scarlet aurora]

ok, so if statement, i want it to go pass the input

how do i do that

[vale wing]

Make sure there's a "token" key in your json file

[scarlet aurora]

it just has "" in json file

[vale wing]

Fill it in

[scarlet aurora]

ofc the token in it

"example.token.3rrdswsg"

[vale wing]

{
    "token": ""
}```

[scarlet aurora]

oh ok

so how do i make it so that the if statement goes past the input option if config.json = token

should i put the input into a function and only call it when there is no token in config?

or is there an easier way

[vale wing]

Yeah you can make a function if you want

[slate swan]

async def embeded_message(msg):
        
        embed = discord.Embed(title='productname', url="https://test.com", colour=0x87CEEB, timestamp=datetime.utcnow())
        await msg.channel.send(embed=embed)

[vale wing]

This should work, but I don't really get the point of providing msg as an argument

[scarlet aurora]

with open('config.json', 'r') as f:
    config = json.load(f)
if config['token'] != '':
    token = token
def token():
    token = input(pyfade.Fade.Horizontal(pyfade.Colors.col, f"Input Token: "))
filename = 'config.json'
with open(filename, 'w') as file_object:
 json.dump(token, file_object)``` so like this?

[dusty tapir]

hi, i am making discord bot, can someone help me to fix mute problem?
https://github.com/Ghalbeyou/Discord-Botter

[slate swan]

Ye me to XD. where can i find documentation how to use msg

[vale wing]

Uh the variable and the function shouldn't be named the same.. may I ask what is you python knowledge level

[vale wing]

!d discord.Message I guess

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message

class discord.Message```
Represents a message from Discord.

x == y Checks if two messages are equal.

x != y Checks if two messages are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the message’s hash.

[scarlet aurora]

basic stuff

[vale wing]

Like?

[scarlet aurora]

like functions, arrays, input out

put

[vale wing]

That should be enough

[scarlet aurora]

if, else, for and stuff

[slate swan]

thanks that i was looking for

[dusty tapir]

if someone have problem by opening config.json files,
i can explain how to fix it.

[scarlet aurora]

with open('config.json', 'r') as f:
    config = json.load(f)
if config['token'] != '':
    token = token
def inputtoken():
    token = input(pyfade.Fade.Horizontal(pyfade.Colors.col, f"Input Token: "))
filename = 'config.json'
with open(filename, 'w') as file_object:
 json.dump(token, file_object)``` so is this better @vale wing ?

[vale wing]

Builitin bans can't be automatically timed

@scarlet aurora maybe check this? https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html

[dusty tapir]

https://github.com/Ghalbeyou/Discord-Botter/blob/main/src/config_checker.py

[slate swan]

its faster to type out stuff quickly, and no i disagree that discord's implementation are good, the slash commands are too slow on phone and some of them are not even out yet

[vale wing]

I mean you can't provide time to discord and let the discord itself unban the user at certain time. You need a bot with tempban command

[scarlet aurora]

with open('config.json', 'r') as f:
    config = json.load(f)
if config['token'] != '':
    token = token

def inputtoken():
    token = input(pyfade.Fade.Horizontal(pyfade.Colors.col, f"Input Token: "))

filename = 'config.json'
with open(filename, 'w') as file_object:
 json.dump(token, file_object)``` can u just tell me whats wrong here @vale wing and what i need to add or remove

[slim ibex]

you trying to load your token from JSON?

[vale wing]

token = token```
![huh](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/508096256393084928.webp?size=128 "huh")

[slate swan]

show the real code/issue, not the repo

[scarlet aurora]

oh THAT

[slim ibex]

🗿

[vale wing]

I mean wtf is that lol

[scarlet aurora]

that was just an example, because i was asking u what the if statement should be to skip over the input if there is a token in config.json

[slim ibex]

why store token in json? store in .env file

[dusty tapir]

# imports
import os
import json


def check():
    if os.path.exists("../config.json"):
        with open("../config.json", encoding="utf-8") as infile:
            token = json.load(infile)
            return token['bot_token']

i hope that fix the problem for you

[slate swan]

the error?

[vale wing]

Your function should return the entered token

[scarlet aurora]

so token = token?

[dusty tapir]

@bot.command()
@has_permissions(manage_messages=True, manage_roles=True)
async def mute(ctx,user: discord.Member, reason):
    perms = ctx.channel.overwrites_for(user)
    await ctx.channel.set_permissions(user, send_message=not perms.send_message)
    await ctx.send("muted the " + str(user.nick) + " !")```
this won't worked for me

[dusty tapir]

no, this is help for @scarlet aurora

[vale wing]

This is aids

[slate swan]

with open('folder/file.json', 'r') as f:
  data = json.load(f)

token = (data["token"])

[heavy folio]

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.set\_permissions

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

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

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

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

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

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

[dusty tapir]

thanks

[slate swan]

send_messages=False

[heavy folio]

override the perms variable, send_messages = False

then update overwrites to be that

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Ghalbeyou/Discord-Botter/blob/3b2f632fab9799cd51c4887cda505bd7a02507b9/src/Client.py#L53-L56 outdated code

[unkempt canyon]

src/Client.py lines 53 to 56

@mute.error
async def mute_error(error, ctx):
    if isinstance(error, CheckFailure):
        await bot.send_message(ctx.message.channel, "Looks like you don't have the perm.")```

[vale wing]

Outer directory? why

[dusty tapir]

my config is not in src folder

[slate swan]

cause the check function is inside a folder

and config.json is not

[vale wing]

Nothing seems bad

[dusty tapir]

i want to mute the user from all channels

not one channel

[vale wing]

Once again, you can't provide ban time to discord

[slate swan]

The ui doesn't provide tempbans

Which is preferred widely

[vale wing]

Reading something from audit might take a while

It is better and faster to store the unban time and unban once it comes

[vale wing]

The funny thing is timeout does and ban doesn't

[slate swan]

exactly

You can't even add roles to a person who has any role above you on phone.

[vale wing]

That's weird as well

Discord actually had issues with mentions on mobile that's what I hated the most

[slate swan]

nope, it works on desktop

[vale wing]

Iterating through all the audit logs will take a while because of the ratelimit

[slate swan]

/ban?

[vale wing]

How do you suggest to do it then?

I mean literally

I know what an audit is

[slate swan]

:^) Funny how a user and bot account uses the same api but ways to do things are different?

[slate swan]

Need a little more context can't figure out how to use "msg" part for the command i used this bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
should create something like this for the message as well right?

[vale wing]

@slate swan I mean how would you get an audit action that was done let's say 2 weeks ago?

Show the code

I can only think of iteration which is slow

The method of unbanning is weird

[timid wagon]

The method of unbanning aside, that will also be unreliable - seeing the amount of requests you would be making

[tacit token]

hello guys i created an owner only command. How can i use error but the member not the owner? idk -> member u not the owner

[slate swan]

if you try to add/remove multiple roles at the same time it gets messy

[vale wing]

That's why you need custom ban command

[timid wagon]

You can't just use guild.audit_logs() here, because you're checking for an entry made a certain amount of time ago

[vale wing]

Ah you mean put it into the reason

[tacit token]

anybody? 😄

[vale wing]

No invalid input handling

[slate swan]

you can make a check , or use an if statement py if Context/Message.author.id == Context/Message.guild.owner_id: ... # do something else : ... #not owner

[vale wing]

Not good as well, it is better to make custom ban command still

[tacit token]

thanks

[vale wing]

Alright alright, let's end this discussion

It is really personal lol

[quick gust]

Not many great free hosts but AWS has a free tier

[dire folio]

Does it turn off at all like replit?

[timid wagon]

replit and aws are worlds apart, so no

replit makes it pretty clear while you're running the keep_alive server, that it is not to be used in prod and should not be used 24/7

Basically confirms its not meant for your bot hosting needs. Keeping the server with uptimerobot is a workaround people found.

AWS is secure, aims to have minimal downtime, and has servers built with the assumption that they'll work with heavy workload.

[slim ibex]

vultr but it isn;'t free

[timid wagon]

And yeah, at this point I would recommend checking the pins in this channel

^

[slate swan]

When someone deletes a message, it says that I deleted it, but how can I make it so that if someone deletes a message, it says who deleted it?

[timid wagon]

In that case you would have to get the entry from audit logs

It includes the person who deleted this message. You would ideally check the audit logs inside the event itself

[slate swan]

done but not right

[timid wagon]

How are you implementing it in code?

[slate swan]

Go dm

?

[novel bolt]

hey , is there a way to play tempfile in vc?

i just came to know abt tempfile now only, the code i made runs but voice doesnt come from the bot, but it gives no errors too

[honest vessel]

i want to pass a string as date like 2022-02-02 02:02:02 and then a reason that can contains spaces, how can i accept the date to let 1 space be in it?

[stuck flare]

any good vids on discord.py tutorial

[honest vessel]

i have something like this now, ```py
async def timeout(self, ctx, member: Member, *, until: Optional[Union[str, datetime]], duration: Optional[Union[float, timedelta]]=None, reason=None) -> None:

[slate swan]

no, use this https://vcokltfre.dev/

[timid wagon]

You're taking in both the date and time, right?

[honest vessel]

@timid wagonyeah but then reason dosnt allow spaces cause i use *,

[timid wagon]

The simple way to do it would be to take date and time separately, and then use * for the rest of the reason

[honest vessel]

ah

[timid wagon]

You can later join the date and time strings

[honest vessel]

ah yeah i didnt think of that xD

thx

[timid wagon]

Yep

[stuck flare]

thats kinda bad

[slate swan]

no

what makes it bad? other than you not getting spoonfeeded

[timid wagon]

The quality of the guide depends on how you utilize what is says

[stuck flare]

not my taste

[quick gust]

😐

[tacit storm]

bro what?

you're not gonna learn by looking at videos mainly.

[slate swan]

*i dont want to read what it says

[tacit storm]

a big thing about programming is reading

[slim ibex]

^^^

100% agree

[tacit storm]

if you're gonna just push of the reading part of programming, you should not be programming, none the less using discord.py

[slim ibex]

you'll have to read docs for tons of things

[slate swan]

you'll keep following tutorials and using their code, but you wont get a single part they are doing.

[tacit storm]

^^

[slim ibex]

so yeah, reading is crucial to programming

[tacit storm]

plus reading helps you learn shit easier than watching videos.

in short, read or get out

[slim ibex]

mhmm

🗿 moai agrees

[stuck flare]

kk srry

[simple cypress]

What's this error?

[slim ibex]

tf

[tacit storm]

jeez thats low quality

[slim ibex]

android moment

[final iron]

#python-discussion or #❓｜how-to-get-help

[tacit storm]

ive never seen that error before actually.

[slate swan]

Why when someone deletes a message, it says that I deleted it, but I did not delete it. (on_message_delete)

[tacit storm]

what?

show us your code

[slate swan]

Someone deletes his message, and in the logs he writes like I deleted it, how to fix it?

[slim ibex]

code

show code

[tacit storm]

gve us the code or we cant help.

[slate swan]

Okay

@bot.event
async def on_message_delete(message):
    guild = message.guild
    async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=1, action=discord.AuditLogAction.message_delete):

    await channel.send(embed=emb)

[tacit storm]

Ah

it's saying that because it's fetching it from the audit logs

i think thats the reason it's saying you deleted it

(correct me if im wrong)

[slate swan]

How to fix?

[slim ibex]

is there a property for someone that deletes a message?

[slate swan]

nope, you cant

[slim ibex]

or something like that

yeah i thought sop

[slate swan]

Helpp

[slate swan]

most of the time you wont be able to get the person who deleted the message

[slim ibex]

i don't think what you want to do can be done @slate swan

you are trying to get the person who deleted the message correct?

[slate swan]

Yes

[slim ibex]

ye unfortunately it doesn't seem like you can do that

[slate swan]

Yeap(

so how do i fix it?

[final iron]

You were just told you can't
