discord-bots

[honest vessel]

fine just fine

[ripe steppe]

good

Discord bots one of my favourite things to do with python rn

[honest vessel]

cool

I mostly use python for Dbots atm too

[ripe steppe]

what sort of discord bots have you done atm?

[honest vessel]

before it was for irc and skype bots

atm my bot keeping track of livestreamers when goes online and alerts and changing activity showing how many are live atm of how many total of streamers in database, and also posts clipped clips from livestreams into a #clips channel - and moderators can add/del streamers and or webradio-stations

and it also plays webradios in voicechat (grayzone)

[gaunt ice]

i want to get the message id of the repliedmessage

[gaunt ice]

like this one example

[honest vessel]

how about yourself?

[cloud dawn]

!d disnake.Message.reply

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Message.reply

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

A shortcut method to [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.abc.Messageable.send "disnake.abc.Messageable.send") to reply to the [`Message`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Message "disnake.Message").

New in version 1.6.

Changed in version 2.3: Added `fail_if_not_exists` keyword argument. Defaults to `True`.

[gaunt ice]

nonono not this like the message which is replied

[cloud dawn]

huh?

[honest vessel]

message.id?

cause i assume u do like message.reply()

or if declared to a variable

[cloud dawn]

Oh you want to get the content of the referenced message?

[gaunt ice]

yessss tbh i want the aauthor of that message

[cloud dawn]

Hmm

[quick gust]

!d discord.Message.reference

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reference

The message that this message references. This is only applicable to messages of type MessageType.pins_add, crossposted messages created by a followed channel integration, or message replies.

New in version 1.5.

[cloud dawn]

Was about to type that

[gaunt ice]

but how to use this

[honest vessel]

it is a message object

[gaunt ice]

sry for light mode

[dusk dock]

Is there a way to make slash commands visible to specific users? If so, does anyone know how to do this in disnake?

[quick gust]

Not that I know of

[gaunt ice]

im sry idk i never tried that before

[quick gust]

Except editing their perms to use slash commands as a whole

[honest vessel]

There is tho? But i forgot the name let me see

[dusk dock]

Aah ok no problem :)

[thin kelp]

Is it possible to get the online status of a user? Like the online, idle and do not disturb thing

[honest vessel]

ephemeral=True

[gaunt ice]

it aint showing any error or anything

[quick gust]

... slash commands, not the response

[honest vessel]

oh

[dusk dock]

You using discord.py?

[thin kelp]

yeah

[quick gust]

empheral is if the response is visible to a specific user

[honest vessel]

Yeha i read wrong sorry 😦

[quick gust]

!d discord.Member.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity: Optional[Union[discord.activity.Activity, discord.activity.Game, discord.activity.CustomActivity, discord.activity.Streaming, discord.activity.Spotify]]```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information.

Note

A user may have multiple activities, these can be accessed under [`activities`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.activities "discord.Member.activities").

[slate swan]

!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.

[quick gust]

use discord.activity.CustomActivity

i think

[thin kelp]

I'll look into it

thank you kind sir

[slate swan]

import discord only works too?

[quick gust]

of course

u need to pip install it

[honest vessel]

i think thats for fetch custom activity message etc i think idle etc is on activity

[quick gust]

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status: discord.enums.Status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") instead.

[honest vessel]

oh there u got it

[quick gust]

that's the custom status I believe, on mobile so can't double check

[thin kelp]

One sec

[honest vessel]

its correct

[quick gust]

okay

[fresh orchid]

async def new_restriction():

    for guild in client.guilds:
        for channel in guild.channels:
            print(channel.id, channel.name)

            restriction = await get_restriction()

            if str(channel.id) in restriction:
                     
                return False
            else:
                restriction[str(channel.id)] = {}
                restriction[str(channel.id)]["Moderation"] = 0
                restriction[str(channel.id)]["Scores"] = 0
                restriction[str(channel.id)]["PCC_Content"] = 0
                restriction[str(channel.id)]["Server"] = 0  

            with open("channel_restrictions.json", "w") as f:
                json.dump(restriction,f)
            return True    

I have this code
But when I run it the bot will only "check" and print one channel and then the bot stops

But why
What is wrong with my code?

[honest vessel]

cause you return

[fresh orchid]

i tried without return and its the same

[honest vessel]

maybe you want something like pass

[fresh orchid]

I will try

[honest vessel]

there's pass and continue, break

https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/break-continue

you prob want continue

[fresh orchid]

In my code is there a big difference between pass and continue?

[steel void]

I have multiple casino games how can I make it where a user can't open up more than one game at once?

[honest vessel]

@fresh orchidyou should take look of that link i gave and read about break n continue ignore pass

[fresh orchid]

I read it

Continue will just "stop" the loop at this point and the loop will start again
Bad explanation I know

And pass is just a placeholder and will do nothing

[honest vessel]

and remove returns if you wanna go throu all

continue will ignore that one, and keep looping throu list

break will stop

u can see break as return

[fresh orchid]

so when I use continue it will ignore the json.dump part if its already in the list

And when I use pass it will do the json.dump part but it wont change anything in the file because there is no code to change anythin

right?

[honest vessel]

u have a nice example showing you exaclty whats going on with continue

[fresh orchid]

ok thanks for the help I think I got it

[honest vessel]

!e

# Program to show the use of continue statement inside loops

for val in "string":
    if val == "i":
        continue
    print(val)

print("The end")

[unkempt canyon]

006 | The end

[honest vessel]

not be an ass but this has nothing todo make a D-bot its general python.

[fresh orchid]

I know

And I know I should learn Python first

And I will learn Python too but I dont have motivation

[honest vessel]

i promies your motivation will grow as more you learn - cause that will make it more fun for you

and its not C++ and thousands of pages to read

[lime trench]

ok so this is going to be long but i need help normalizing my data. i have a ticket system that when someoine interacts with the persistent button it makes a channel aka the ticket chennal, i want it to be aqble to have commands to show open tickets. i was thinking of making a dict of dicts with the dict key being the channel id and thebn the rest of the info in a dict but im not sure if its good. how should i do it?
list of dicts? dict of list?
im just not sure
sebt here bc its a mix

[fresh orchid]

ok I will try to learn it but one last question

So the code I've sent before is in my main.py file
Is there a option how to use the function in a cog without copy and paste the whole function?

I tried something like this

client.get_restriction = await get_restriction()

But this will just call the function one time when the code starts and later when I use

self.client.get_restriction

It wont get updated
So I just get the information of the time when the bot started and not the actual

[honest vessel]

why not place the function in a cog and run a task then?

if thats ur mission

[pliant nacelle]

https://mystb.in/HopNothingDoors.python when i tip .v name <Name> it doesn't change name of channel

[honest vessel]

in ur code there is no .v commands?

[slate swan]

what library is it?

[balmy ivy]

whats the code for the current member count?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.member\_count

property member_count: int```
Returns the true member count regardless of it being loaded fully or not.

Warning

Due to a Discord limitation, in order for this attribute to remain up-to-date and accurate, it requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") to be specified.

[fresh iron]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.bot(command_prefix="!")

@client.evevt
async def on_ready():
    print(f"logged in as {client.user}")
    print("ready!")
    print(f"ID: {client.id}")
@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Pong! {0}'.format(round(client.latency, 1)))

client.run(token)

whats wrong with my code????

i keep getting the error import discord even though i have discordpy defined and installed

[slate swan]

event, not evert

[fresh iron]

oh

right

[balmy ivy]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
      embed=discord.Embed(title="**__Welcome To GFFL__**", description=":wave: **:partying_face:Hello welcome to the League** **Have Fun** :scroll:`Make sure to go follow the rules everything is listed in information ` ", color=0xe0e0e0)

      await member.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

another thing, make sure python is added to path

[balmy ivy]

where would i put the current member count

so like

[slate swan]

member.guild.member_count will be the member count

[honest vessel]

well were u wanna display it

[fresh iron]

okay i still getting the import discord error

[balmy ivy]

Welcome you are our <current member>

[fresh iron]

it is

[honest vessel]

then put it there

[slate swan]

@fresh iron

[cold sonnet]

event not evevt

[fresh iron]

it is added to path

[slate swan]

oh, are you using vscode?

[fresh iron]

yes?

[honest vessel]

I have been told not to spoonfeed so

[cold sonnet]

do you have multiple versions of python installed?

[honest vessel]

title="Welcome To GFFL" how can u include a variable into a string?

[slate swan]

if you installed the library just now, restart it
dont use the play button to run the code, download the python extension and use the run option above to run your code, you can confirm your python installation there

[pliant nacelle]

<PREFIX>

[fresh iron]

the code doesnt work with or without vscode

ill try to run it online

[honest vessel]

@pliant nacellei dont know most annoying shitty code iv ever seen doing a discordbot

one asked tho what lib u using

[pliant nacelle]

discord.py

[honest vessel]

lol?

[slate swan]

doesn't seem like that

[honest vessel]

it looks like a homebrewed

not a real lib

raw api?

import functions as func

``` where is import discord?

kek

[pliant nacelle]

not in this file

[honest vessel]

no shit sherlok 😄

this file has nothing with discord.py todo

verry confusing codes

[slate swan]

show the commands/base.py file @pliant nacelle

[honest vessel]

for discord.py

and functions

return await func.custom_name(guild, ctx['voice_channel'], author, new_name)

[slate swan]

tbh it seems like a poor discord.js commands implentation in python

they do it like that

[honest vessel]

it looks absolutely shit all i can say

@slate swanso a js with pywrapper

why???

[slate swan]

!pip discord.js

[unkempt canyon]

discord.js v1.0.7

The Python module for discord.js.

[honest vessel]

omg

[slate swan]

credits : swas.py

[honest vessel]

why thoi?

why not use discord.py forks or discord.py it self

"i wanna code JS but in python"

[slate swan]

idk maybe someone said, discord.js has better Object attributes than discord.py and he just made it to prove them wrong

[honest vessel]

lol

i feel sick

[slate swan]

well yea for some things , like js Guild.iconURL({dynamic: true/false}) it allows users to choose weather to return the animated or static version

[honest vessel]

from discordjs import Client
from javascript import console

client = Client()

client.on("ready", lambda:
    console.log("Bot is ready")
)

async def msg(message):
    if message.content.startswith("!ping"):
        await message.channel.send("pong")

client.on("message", msg)

client.login('Token')
``` then go code in JS

[slate swan]

discord.js' kinda bettter with these things

[honest vessel]

for what?

[slate swan]

^^

[honest vessel]

cant they use a js lib already?=

[slate swan]

ofcourse, "but python is easy"

[honest vessel]

is python easy that way?

thats jsython

[slate swan]

id say discord.py is better than that library

[honest vessel]

if u code js code js, thats fine ... but i dunno its like write chinese but wanna speak swedish with a indien accent taste of japan

u need to code js to understand that lib

[maiden fable]

djs?

[honest vessel]

ye

[slate swan]

yessir

[maiden fable]

Well I tried coding with it once...

[honest vessel]

tell us how did it go lol

[maiden fable]

When I got started, I started thinking, "Python is way better in terms of simplicity as compared to JS"

[slate swan]

until you realise OOP is a thing

[maiden fable]

So yea, I got mad because I wasn't able to understand when to use === and when to use == lmao

[honest vessel]

so you didnt wanna convert your religion from py to js

[maiden fable]

Ah yea. Don't just get me started about oop in js

[honest vessel]

one think js had as fresh n shit well handy was Objects aka Arrays

[slate swan]

some person who used js teached me how to make objects in python ```py
_object = {'attr':'value'}

[maiden fable]

I mean, why add another keyword to subclass LMAO

Python is just too simple and readable haha

[honest vessel]

python is clean

no brackets or anything

[slate swan]

it has cons tho

[honest vessel]

but imagine write pythong and put js brackets on lol

[balmy ivy]

how could i do this

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[honest vessel]

by learning to code?

[buoyant quail]

++

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[honest vessel]

nothing was super excotic about that embed

[maiden fable]

Well there is a probability they are new to discord bot making

[honest vessel]

then its a py server

why use jswrap

they misled

how i make discordbot like this? shows embed coded in asm

[visual yarrow]

Erm, do you already know VSolar? If not, these aren't the kinds of comments we like in this server.

[honest vessel]

@visual yarrowhe could specify Q more

[honest vessel]

it only display an embed

[cold sonnet]

@fresh iron do pip install discord.py once more and show us the results

[daring olive]

do you want to be a part of this community?

[maiden fable]

most probably wrong python version

[slate swan]

do you have multiple versions of python installed?

[visual yarrow]

Alright, but you could guide them in the right direction, rather than giving them a snarky comment.

[fresh iron]

not really

[fresh iron]

discord.py or just discord

[cold sonnet]

I forgot already

[maiden fable]

discord.py

[honest vessel]

maybe i mixed him up with the jsguy

[slate swan]

discord is just a shim for discord.py

[cold sonnet]

py -3 -m pip install discord.py

[maiden fable]

My man using disnake, so forgot about discord.py

[maiden fable]

u also forgot already

[honest vessel]

yes, if specify a Q i gladly try help

[cold sonnet]

I only installed it once, so it wasn't enough of a beautiful experience for me to remember

[maiden fable]

Haha

[slate swan]

discord.py who? the only wrappers for dpy ik are hikari and rin

[cold sonnet]

it's installed in 3.6
I looked at the wrong line

[maiden fable]

Told ya, most probably wrong Python version selected

[daring olive]

because your answer of "learn to code" is not what i want to see on this server

[cold sonnet]

do pip3.10 install discord.py @fresh iron

[maiden fable]

Yups, rin ftw

[fresh iron]

everything was fine yasterday not sure whats changed now

[honest vessel]

Ok i will try not say that then, I could as him/her specify it better

[maiden fable]

Well most probably yr Python version in yr IDE changed @fresh iron

[slate swan]

made the first, and maybe most significant contribution https://github.com/an-dyy/Rin/pull/6

[lethal umbra]

pip install discord.py

[maiden fable]

W O W

[slate swan]

can you see a option "Python interpreter" at the left bottom?

[slate swan]

breaking changes

[cold sonnet]

I looked at the wrong line

[fresh iron]

on where

[honest vessel]

@daring olive @visual yarrow u give me another chance?

[slate swan]

in vsc

[visual yarrow]

Yeah, I mean you can always just ask someone to clarify the question 👍

[honest vessel]

ye i will next time

[cold sonnet]

@fresh iron

[fresh iron]

oh

[slate swan]

install the python installation as told ya already

[pliant gulch]

I'm gonna blame toxickids!

[honest vessel]

Can you specifie your Q lil bit more? What i see is just an embed

[maiden fable]

👀

[slate swan]

if you did and its still not coming , use ctrl+shift+p and type select interpreter

[fresh iron]

which version again

[balmy ivy]

like the amount of people on a role

[slate swan]

python extension mate, just go to extensions, type python and install the one from microsoft

[fresh iron]

it is installed

[honest vessel]

grab the role or so and len() members

if u want an int of how many

[balmy ivy]

or sum like this

[slate swan]

🏃‍♂️ i was sick trying to install it with that command until i realised it missed the :
well imma try looking into the internals to get familiar with the library and may make some contributions :)

[slate swan]

and how did you run the code?

[honest vessel]

@balmy ivyall i see is 1 user and alot of new fields

in an embed

[honest vessel]

add_field()?

[fresh iron]

from run?

[slate swan]

use the run option above in near file and other options

[honest vessel]

embed.add_field() and inline=False, or If want True?

[balmy ivy]

no ik add field but i am saying like you can use -members <role> and lists all the members that have the role

[slate swan]

or just hit ctrl+f5

[balmy ivy]

but i want it to be only 32 roles

[honest vessel]

yes

[balmy ivy]

so that members see how many members are on that role

[fresh iron]

that's what i literally do though it gives the same error, might just reinstall everything

[honest vessel]

you def can do

[slate swan]

the play button is broken

[balmy ivy]

?

[fresh iron]

ill reinstall python

[honest vessel]

@balmy ivytrying to figure out but should be around guild.roles and go from there

[slate swan]

ctrl+f5 still results with the same error?

[fresh iron]

yeah it's literally the same

[balmy ivy]

ok

[honest vessel]

Role object has members attribute @balmy ivy

so fetch role and grab .members

[balmy ivy]

@bot.command()
async def members(ctx):

[honest vessel]

and len() members attribute

no

[fresh iron]

i just noticed i shared a token lmfao

[maiden fable]

👀 Why I wasn't here

[honest vessel]

fetch role you want to check of how many users, and then you have Role = fetched....
count = len(Role.members)

[fresh iron]

feel free to use that bot its made by an alt

[honest vessel]

@balmy ivy u wanna len() that members

[balmy ivy]

fetched is a error

[honest vessel]

omg

[balmy ivy]

just sent it all in one

[honest vessel]

fetch a guild role

[slate swan]

or get_ it actually

[honest vessel]

and len() the role.members

object

[honest vessel]

spoonfeeding is hated

[balmy ivy]

lmao

[honest vessel]

its true others complain if i do it

[balmy ivy]

Role = ("Indianapolis Colts")
count = len(Role.members)

[honest vessel]

no Role needs to be grabbing an role object from that guild

and then len() on that role object with attribute members

[crude spear]

how can i add that the user can just use the command between different time examples just from 10am until 3pm

[balmy ivy]

the id or the name?

[cold sonnet]

make an if statement at the start of the command

import datetime

[honest vessel]

@balmy ivyeither way tbh, but hint guild.get_role()

[cold sonnet]

and check if datetime.now() is above 10am and under 3pm

[balmy ivy]

wait so replace role =() with guild.get_role()

[crude spear]

ok thanks

[fresh orchid]

I need the function in every cog and it would be nicer to use the function in my main file

[honest vessel]

i have to go but you need to get/fetch an role object if you know what that is? and from there you can count how many members has that role

in that guild

guild.get_role() i think

with id or name

[balmy ivy]

ok but len(Role.members) has a error when i use guild.get_role()

[honest vessel]

i would recommend use ID instead of name cause if u wanna change name of role its broken

[vale wing]

Just put it into a module or to bot subclass

[fresh orchid]

How?

[vale wing]

For the first method, just define a function in a separated file and import it from there whenever you need it, for the second just define it in your bot's subclass

[rocky trench]

        mutedRole = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="Muted")
        if not mutedRole:
            index = 0
            for role in ctx.guild.roles:
                if role.permissions.administrator:
                    index += 1
            index -= 1
            mutedRole = await ctx.guild.create_role(name="Muted")
            await mutedRole.edit(reason = None, position = index)```no error, doesnt drag it to the right position

[vale wing]

What do you want it to do

And why use muted role when timeout exists

[balmy ivy]

how could i make a command where it shows how many people on a role

[vale wing]

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

property members: List[Member]```
Returns all the members with this role.

[balmy ivy]

no like

[vale wing]

Just use len on it

[balmy ivy]

how?

[vale wing]

!e py some_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] print(len(some_list))

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

5

[balmy ivy]

how does it know what role ?

[vale wing]

May I ask what is your python experience level

[balmy ivy]

a million

[vale wing]

[balmy ivy]

sum like this

[vale wing]

I will not write the full command for you lol, this is enough help I'd say. The docs are pretty useful

[balmy ivy]

i am not asking for full command

[vale wing]

Like what else is required to make a members command

I just don't get what you don't understand, if you told me I could've helped you probably

Also you haven't answered my question about your python knowledge properly

[balmy ivy]

its like a 2

[vale wing]

Just in case it is low, the discord bot is not a good beginner project

You need decent knowledge of python to understand what you do

On the other hand, if you consider yourself experienced enough you may check this tutorial out https://vcokltfre.dev

[balmy ivy]

i already know how to use embeds and make like a help command

[vale wing]

Yea but do you know how to iterate through the list and get attributes of an object

That's all you need for members command

• some docs, to be more exact discord.Role and discord.Member

[rocky trench]

this tutorial uses ridiculous things

[slate swan]

It doesnt

[rocky trench]

nvm, confused it with another one

I've seen some really bad ones, mb

[final iron]

Like what

[rocky trench]

nah, i've seen some not using @bot.command but instead an on_message event for !help

[stray solar]

Hello... someone have some time to help to make a trigger author message delete ?

(User sent a message, bot automatically delete the current message who the user sent)

[slate swan]

Can you explain better?

[bitter perch]

You shouldn't even be using a dedicated command for help...

[rocky trench]

it was an example

even though I make my own help commands

since I never learnt on how to style a built in one

[bitter perch]

!docs discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

class discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand(*args, **kwargs)```
The base implementation for help command formatting.

Note

Internally instances of this class are deep copied every time the command itself is invoked to prevent a race condition mentioned in [GH-2123](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/2123).

This means that relying on the state of this class to be the same between command invocations would not work as expected.

[slate swan]

While me who uses help command without subclassing it

[stray solar]

When i do the command trigger (+trigger <id>)
the bot will delete every message the user sent
so if he send a msg, the bot will delete the msg automatically with 1 ms

So i did @bot.command() async def trigger(ctx, message, author): await ctx.message.delete list_of_ids.append(author.id) if author.id in list_of_ids: await message.delete() await asyncio.sleep(0)

But i get discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: author is a required argument that is missing.

[slate swan]

Okay my eyes gonna bleed

[stray solar]

Im beginner xd

[fresh orchid]

Im not sure if this is the right channel but I have this code

    @commands.command()
    async def whois(self, ctx, member:discord.Member = None):
        await check_server_restriction(ctx)
        await ctx.send("CONTENT")

The check_server_restriction looks like this

async def check_server_restriction(ctx):
    restriction = await get_restriction()
    
    if restriction[str(ctx.channel.id)]["Server"] == 1:
        await ctx.send("This command is restricted. You can use it in the #bot-commands channel")
        return

So when I run it it sends the this command is restricted text but the other CONTENT too

I dont get why because my code says after the bot sends the this command is restricted it should return

So why it sends the content too and ignores the return

[fresh orchid]

i think you dont need message and author

Just use ctx.author.id i think

[stray solar]

Imma try

[fresh orchid]

there is no error

[slate swan]

Wrong reply

[slow fog]

youre sus

[fresh orchid]

as I said it just send both things

[sacred reef]

hi, i have a question. i have a @task.loop and i want to run it through async. problem is, whenever i try to await it start. it runs but whenever i try to do it again, it just wont run the task seperately

basically i wanna run 2 tasks at the same time

[fresh orchid]

and I dont know why because there is a return

[sacred reef]

and it doesnt seem that possible for me

[slate swan]

Does that make any difference for me?

[slow fog]

no

but

youre sus

[slate swan]

Because, its gonna stop the function check_server_restriction and not the command function

[fresh orchid]

oh ok

[slate swan]

Whatever

[stray solar]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: object method can't be used in 'await' expression

[analog barn]

hey, I'm making a discord bot, but I want to be able to run it with arguments.
I've tried looking into sys.argv and argparse but nothing is working for me right now. I think because discord.py is asynchronous but I don't know for sure if that's even remotely close to why I can't get it to work... anyone able to help?

[fresh orchid]

can you send your actual code

[slate swan]

You dont need 2 parameters for the Context

[stray solar]

@bot.command()
async def trigger(ctx):
    await ctx.message.delete
    list_of_ids.append(ctx.author.id)
    if ctx.author.id in list_of_ids:
        await ctx.message.delete()
        await asyncio.sleep(0)```

Thats my actual code now

[vale wing]

Where the brackets for delete()

[slate swan]

Why even make a conditional when its gonna append it to the list in the first place

[vale wing]

And wtf is asyncio.sleep(0)

Like why'd you need to wait for 0 seconds

[stray solar]

bcs its the logic of trigger message

[sacred reef]

really need help on this one

[vale wing]

[final iron]

What

[vale wing]

Can you show your code

[stray solar]

when the trigger user send a msg, i want the bot automatically del the msg

so i did 0 ms

[vale wing]

I don't think you can do that with commands

[final iron]

Then use an on_message

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

This requires [`Intents.messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.messages "discord.Intents.messages") to be enabled.

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[stray solar]

on message make my bot crash

thats why i want to do a command

[final iron]

That's a whole nother issue

[stray solar]

a friend made the same with c# command

so i wanted to do the same with py

[sacred reef]

its pretty long, messy since i didnt expect anyone else to see it. it has nothing to do with the code but ill show you the important parts

@tasks.loop(seconds=30.0)
async def plant_growth(self,ctx,trayid,number):

await plant_growth.start(self, ctx, trayid, number)

[vale wing]

@stray solar you might want to check this tutorial out, it seems like you missing normal resources https://vcokltfre.dev

[vale wing]

You don't start the loop like this iirc

[sacred reef]

realy?

really?*

[vale wing]

You don't parse args to it do you? I never did so idrk

[sacred reef]

you can

[vale wing]

@tasks.loop(seconds=30)
async def some_loop(self):
    pass #stuff

#and this is in some cog init
some_loop.start()```

The start surely doesn't need to be awaited and you don't parse self that's for sure

Gotta check docs about other things

[sacred reef]

mk

ill try it

[vale wing]

!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").

[sacred reef]

tried this, still

[vale wing]

Where do you start it

Is it in a cog?

[sacred reef]

when i run a command, and yes

[vale wing]

You typically don't start loops from a command

Can you tell me what are you trying to make

[sacred reef]

im trying to basically randomly simulate 4 trays with different plants in them, and i run the command to start the plant growth

[rocky bluff]

hey

[sacred reef]

i want to run the same task for 5 different trays

[vale wing]

Maybe it is better to store the data somewhere and periodically update? Creating many internal background tasks is not a good practice

[rocky bluff]

how could i make a command where it takes everyone off a role? like -disband <emoji>

[sacred reef]

idk

[pine crypt]

Why does this give the error message:

[stray solar]

Why client ?

[vale wing]

You need to provide client when using command

[pine crypt]

as in $ping client?

[vale wing]

Yes

[pine crypt]

This error now

[sacred reef]

remove the client from your args

[vale wing]

Well seems like you are doing something wrong

Could you show the whole command

You probably want the latency of the bot

And show cog init as well please

[pliant gulch]

There is no reason for you to have client as an argument here. You want to do self.client or whatever your client is defined as in the cog

[pliant gulch]

Yea, so use self.client when using the latency

Instead of client

[pine crypt]

then how to get client.latency

[sacred reef]

self.client

[pine crypt]

ah ty 🙂

[sacred reef]

np

[pine crypt]

Since in the init i have defined self.client as client then why should self.client be used instead of client?

[sacred reef]

that defines it for the bot cog start pretty sure, its good to add a self to the beginning of your args

[pine crypt]

Is there a way to do this in which one does not have to type client after the command?

[sacred reef]

@commands.command()
async def ping(self, ctx):
 embed = discord.Embed(title="pong")
 embed.add_field(name="latency", value=self.client.latency)

there

[vale wing]

The self refers to the class object

[final iron]

Indentation?

[sacred reef]

ok there

[pine crypt]

This is my version of the last line that you gave but the same error appears when $ping is inputed without client at the end

[vale wing]

You didn't remove client from command args

[sacred reef]

^

[pine crypt]

why wont this work

it says ff is a error

[bitter perch]

[slate swan]

why not make a dict or use the built in feature?

example on how to use a dict

en = {
    'a': '>',
    'b': '?',
    'c': '*',
    'd': '-',
    'e': '+',
    'f': '^',
    'g': '%',
    'h': '@',
    'i': '!',
    'j': '$',

def encrypt():
    text = input("\nWhat text would you like to encrypt:\n")
    print(f"\nYour encrypted text looks like:\n{''.join([en[l] for l in text.lower()])}")

encrypt()

dumb little thing i made lol

[balmy ivy]

No like

[slate swan]

example on how to use a dict

i said it was an example you use the dict so it will return the key

[balmy ivy]

no i am saying thats not what i am using

[slate swan]

you want to replace each letter with its font counter part right?

[balmy ivy]

i am trying to do this

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

yes im correct?

[balmy ivy]

but that isnt fonts

[slate swan]

its bold

a bold font

[balmy ivy]

this is bold?

[slate swan]

example on how to use a dict

||example||

[balmy ivy]

bro is that bold or not

[slate swan]

its an example bro

What are you doing

and why not use the built in bold feature discord provides?

its the same thing

[slate swan]

What's the point?

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def bold(ctx, *, text):
  await ctx.reply(f"**{text}**")

[balmy ivy]

to bold the message

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

made it a kwarg so it will get stored as a dict

so any text you add no matter if it has invalid chars it will make them bold and you will not be limited by chars*

[slate swan]

Well it really is a hard way of doin' it

[balmy ivy]

ok?

[slate swan]

why not use the code i gave you can make any sentence bold and youre not limited to chars

?

[balmy ivy]

i did use it

[slate swan]

did it worked?

[balmy ivy]

yea

[slate swan]

are you satisfied?

[balmy ivy]

yea

[slate swan]

great

[balmy ivy]

thanks

[slate swan]

yw

[balmy ivy]

do you know what i mean tho

𝗭

Z

when i used the first letter it does this

in channels

[balmy ivy]

the point of this is to make channels

[slate swan]

then use a dict

[balmy ivy]

this?

[slate swan]

yes but replace the keys and values

[balmy ivy]

whats the point i just wanna know how to fix my code i will just spend more time

[slate swan]

well your code wont work

your code will replace

text = text.replace("-", "━")

[balmy ivy]

? thats the point

like this but not using **

[final iron]

Why though

You have to hardcode all of the characters

Also why is your prefix /

That's so annoying to use

[oblique laurel]

Not an issue if theyre fine w it

[final iron]

It's dumb though

[slate swan]

i need help with anti nuke

[final iron]

What specifically

[slate swan]

the whole thing @final iron

[final iron]

Anti nuke is quite complicated

You need to decide what you want to trigger it and how to handle it

[slate swan]

discord.gg

or something

[final iron]

You want to prevent server invites?

[slate swan]

yes

or something kinda like haunt and bleed

like antiraid

[pliant gulch]

You need to make the button persistent in order for it to work after restarts. Take a look at this example https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[jovial pilot]

What amount of code knowledge should i have before starting to make a discord bot

[pliant gulch]

Basics of python, like types, etc. You'd want to know at the very least OOP (Object oriented programming) and asynchronous programming

[manic wing]

andy

[bitter perch]

the error is quite self explanatory

[serene mantle]

Hey guys, im coding a Discord bot, and i need to add a role to a user upon a message event.

i found this on stackoverflow

var = disnake.utils.get(message.guild.roles, name = "12")
member.add_role(var)```

"12" is the name of my role

message.guild.roles simply does not exist.

[supple thorn]

Guessing thats a age role

[slim ibex]

copying code from stack overflow like all devs 🗿

[serene mantle]

xD

LMAO

[supple thorn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/940493523122286613.png?size=48

[serene mantle]

No its just a placeholder, since you can't mispell 12 lol.

[serene mantle]

thats the urban dictionary definition of development 🤣

                        member = message.author
                        var = disnake.utils.get(message.guild.roles, name = "12")
                        member.add_role(var)```

full code any one know whats wrong

[supple thorn]

Where is this code

[serene mantle]

on my screen?

[supple thorn]

In a command or?

[serene mantle]

oh lol

on_message event

[supple thorn]

Okay

[supple thorn]

Do you get an error when you use this?

[serene mantle]

  File "c:\Users\giftc\OneDrive\Desktop\Python\Discord Bot\cogs\verfication.py", line 70, in on_message
    print(message.guild.roles)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'roles'```

also i tried printing message.guild.roles

it doesnt exist, but all solutions online include it

[supple thorn]

Try to print message.guild

[serene mantle]

None

it prints None

OHHH

i think i know whats going on rn

[supple thorn]

Wait

[serene mantle]

gimme a sec

[supple thorn]

I do too

@serene mantle its in dms isnt it

I just read your python file name

[serene mantle]

omg

sorry for bothering you lol

im literally half asleep lmao

[supple thorn]

I was gonna ask if its in dms or not but wanted to make sure

[serene mantle]

it is in DM's lol

                        server_id = 932378633463562290
                        print(server_id.guild)```

this doesnt work either lol

[heavy folio]

server_id.guild?

[final iron]

What's server_id?

[serene mantle]

supposed to be the ID of the server..

all these results are very outdated im finding

trying to take a new approach.

[final iron]

An int has no guild attribute...

[serene mantle]

yeah, i know im just trying everything i can think of

this is what i have currently

                        the_role = disnake.utils.get(942138061792378931)
                        await message.author.add_roles(the_role)

this gives me the error

  File "C:\Users\giftc\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\disnake\utils.py", line 480, in get
    for elem in iterable:
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable```

942138061792378931 is the Role ID

this is a on_message event btw

[gaunt ice]

u need to put disnake.utils.get(message.guild.roles, id = <id>)

[kind wasp]

Hello i need to know, have any difference between discordpy and disnake?

[slate swan]

just the names nothing much

[gaunt ice]

discordpy is official lib of discord and disnake is a fork

yes nearly nothing

[slate swan]

here the guide to disnake https://guide.disnake.dev/

[kind wasp]

Thx so much ;)

[slate swan]

message*

theirs no context on a on_message event

[gaunt ice]

wha

[slate swan]

yw

[gaunt ice]

wait

okk message.guild.roles

[slate swan]

would only work if the message param were name ctx

[hardy yoke]

official makes it sound like it was Discord-endorsed, it was just the most adopted python library

[slate swan]

most popular wrapper for the discord api thats writing in python

but its not official*

[gaunt ice]

uh yes lol im a newbie been a month since i started python

[hardy yoke]

all good 😄

[gaunt ice]

[slate swan]

and iirc the discord api is written in js

[final iron]

It is not official

It's just the most popular

[gaunt ice]

ohh okk

[gaunt ice]

my error is

[sage otter]

that event only takes payload

[gaunt ice]

ohh

TYSM

IT WORKS

          await newchannel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=overwrites)```

When the code doesnt give u errors 😔

indentation and error handler

Its not overwritng perms as usual

[slate swan]

not indentation that was discord's fault

when i pasted

ah

discord is mean >:C

True

error handler eating it perhaps?

specifclly overwrites

its not overwriting the member to read the channel

and yes the member object is indeed a member object lol

is newchannel created?

yes it does get created

and it syncs the perms to category as intended

try adding a few prints here and there imo

i guess?

does it loop?
members list might be empty

its not empty cuz i did a ping test prior to it

list check*

interesting

it grabs the members from an existing VC channel and created a discord channel for the people in the vc

like a queuing system if that makes sense lol

except it doesnt queue the members...

which fork/version are you using?

nextcord ofc

ofc

im using the discord.py code so that might be why

well the docs says overwrites_for* wants a user object, not a member object

well some of it

[slate swan]

a discord.User not a guild member?

yes sir, worth a try?

i mean a guild member would make more sense but sure why not

client.fetch_user ye?

get_user sure

ah get_user

also use Bot instance when

[slate swan]

client.Bot.get_user?

or u mean my decorator?

[maiden fable]

If they don't want to make commands, then client is fine

[slate swan]

^ that too, I meant using the Bot class for your bot, not the client
bot = nextcord.ext.commands.Bot() client = nextcord.client()

im making this specifc line of code off a on_voice_state_update event btw

[slate swan]

i mean

do the prints reveal anything?

didnt try it yet

[bright spade]

what is cogs and how is it used in discord bots development

[slate swan]

lemme try the user object idea rq

[slate swan]

cogs are (wait I had it somewhere let me find copy paste)
A "Cog" is just a class dpy implemented and you subclass in order to develop in multiple files

EXCELLENT!

u were right

just needed the user object not guild member object, thanks mate

[gaunt ice]

cogs are used to keep code in order

[slate swan]

neat, now to make a pr fixing that

gl lmfao

[bright spade]

[maiden fable]

https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/tutorial/05-cogs/

[bright spade]

tnx

[hardy wing]

is there a way to not get rate limited?

[slate swan]

good code

[maiden fable]

Not using repl

[slate swan]

cooldowns and ^

[hardy wing]

what would I have to use

[slate swan]

!hosting

[hardy wing]

so I have to buy a server?

[bright spade]

how to make a bot which has interactive welcome message setup?

[maiden fable]

Yes

[hardy wing]

how much do servers usually cost

[slate swan]

there are a few hosts out there, let me quickly paste a tag

1. Get a cheap VPS
   A VPS is a good way to run your bot 24/7, and they can be rented quite cheaply from various companies, some hosts include:
   https://scaleway.com/ (EU) https://digitalocean.com/ (US)
   https://linode.com/ (US/EU/Asia) https://www.hetzner.com/cloud (US/EU)
   We recommend you compare the options before choosing a provider, and look for other providers that suit you well. It is also possible to use free trials of services AWS, GCP, and Azure to run your bot for up to a year for free on a low power machine.

2. Host locally
   If you have a RaspberryPi this can be used as a bot host quite easily, and many tutorials exist for it online. You can also host a bot on your PC if you keep it on 24/7.
   This is not recommended due to the investment involved as well as your network stability
   If you are using your PC you should consider using a VPS provider instead.

Note:
Free hosts, such as Heroku, Replit, and EpikHost, are not good hosts for your bot. Heroku and Replit are designed for websites, which is why they expose a domain for you. EpikHost is known to give away customer information and it is advised that you do not use them for this reason.

[slate swan]

on_member_join send the views with everything

[slate swan]

cheaper than you might think
I use aws one year free without any prolem (my bot has 10k users) and even after the free period, the same specs are like 6$ a month

[hardy wing]

so that'd be on digitalocean?

[slate swan]

amazon aws

[bright spade]

something wrong pls help

[hardy wing]

oh

how would you get to aws

like could you send a link

[slate swan]

google, first or second hit

[hardy wing]

kk

[maiden fable]

You can also get a free for life vps from oracle if u have a cc

[slate swan]

😳 specs of the vps?

[quick gust]

i sent a link earlier

Lemme find

[maiden fable]

24 gb ram

[hardy wing]

but could I still code it on replit or would I have to move the code somewhere else

[slate swan]

that's too good for free

[quick gust]

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

[quick gust]

Oracle is just different

[maiden fable]

I also sent that yesterday haha

[quick gust]

i sent it a week ago 😔

[slate swan]

sigh site wont load

[maiden fable]

Aws also gives something like that for 1 usd

[slate swan]

idts

[quick gust]

Yeah they do

[slate swan]

I get an ubuntu 16.04 with 1 VCPU and 1 gb ram at 6$

[maiden fable]

😂

U r getting 4vcpu cores

[hardy wing]

still wondering about this

[maiden fable]

Iirc in oracle

[slate swan]

but then it's a full fledged virtual machine, perhaps it must be different for vps

[slate swan]

need to move it to your new host

[slate swan]

you can code it anywhere

but you would need to have the source in your vps/host

[hardy wing]

but the code will still work when I move it over right like how much do I have to change

cause still want to use it on replit rn until it's finished

[slate swan]

depends on the host

yup just code it locally in pycharm or something then yeet the new code to your host to run it

some hosts use pyproject.toml/poetry for installing reqs
some will do that for you with requirements.txt/an option to add packages

[slate swan]

you don't need to change anything considering you are using the same python and lib version, some things might have to change if your using the sys or os module / interacting with the vm/vps
some things like file paths will also change

[hardy wing]

alr alr thnx for the info

[slate swan]

[quick gust]

I wanna make a repo for my bot and on my host, automatically pull everything from the GitHub so I can directly commit stuff to the repo from my vsc and ez update, though I'm having a problem even making the repo lmao, it just doesn't ignore venv and the secrets file

[slate swan]

use .gitignore file

[quick gust]

i did

[slate swan]

you can specify the files and venv there ```
.env
venv/

[quick gust]

I even had the folder paths inside

yep I had all that

[final iron]

rin 😔

[quick gust]

im probably gonna give it another try today

make a new repo

[slate swan]

dont make a new repo, just clone it on your device again and it will work

vsc is sometimes buggy with it :V

[quick gust]

the thing is

i already deleted the repo and vsc still tells me to push stuff xD

[gaunt ice]

yall pro coders.....

i dont even understand this

[pliant gulch]

👁️

[final iron]

You would be surprised by how little I know

[hardy wing]

would I be able to use one amazon web server for both a discord bot and a website or only one thing at a time

[hardy wing]

I've literally been doing this for a week

[supple thorn]

I know one that sounds too good to be free

Wanna hear

[slate swan]

sure

[fervent shoal]

How would I go about making an uptime command

I just want to see how long the bot has been up

[woven ingot]

Hi i would really appreciate some help if anyone has time. I'm pulling some data from an API and displaying it on my bot activity but the data is displaying weird have no idea how to fix it. I recently replaced the api. Not sure if maybe the way i'm round the decimals is creating the error?

    async def loop():
    token = open('crypto.txt', 'r').read()
    url = f"https://api-v2-mainnet.paras.id/collection-stats?collection_id={token}"

    data = requests.get(url).json()["data"]["results"]["floor_price"]
    price = str(round(float(data)*10000)/10000)
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="💎 $"+price))```

[gaunt ice]

😯

[final iron]

Make a start time then subtract the current time from it to get the uptime

[final iron]

It's being shown in exponential format

Check if thats what the api is returning

[woven ingot]

Nop the api returns this

[fervent shoal]

how do I make a start time and literally everything else you said please

[woven ingot]

https://api-v2-mainnet.paras.id/collection-stats?collection_id=clapes-by-clapesnear

floor_price":"110000000000000000000000000"

[final iron]

!d datetime.datetime.now

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.now

classmethod datetime.now(tz=None)```
Return the current local date and time.

If optional argument *tz* is `None` or not specified, this is like [`today()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.today "datetime.datetime.today"), but, if possible, supplies more precision than can be gotten from going through a [`time.time()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.time "time.time") timestamp (for example, this may be possible on platforms supplying the C `gettimeofday()` function).

If *tz* is not `None`, it must be an instance of a [`tzinfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.tzinfo "datetime.tzinfo") subclass, and the current date and time are converted to *tz*’s time zone.

This function is preferred over [`today()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.today "datetime.datetime.today") and [`utcnow()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcnow "datetime.datetime.utcnow").

[final iron]

Make a variable with that

[fervent shoal]

Thank u, and what

[final iron]

and what wdym

You got another question?

[fervent shoal]

make a variable with what

[final iron]

With this

[slate swan]

just use the string format of that and it will work

[final iron]

Assign a variable to that

[slate swan]

name="💎 $"+str(price)

[final iron]

Then in the command subtract the current time from your variable

It will show uptime

[woven ingot]

Ok will try that thanks

[woven ingot]

Oh but price is already a string

[woven ingot]

@tasks.loop(seconds=20)
async def loop():
    token = open('crypto.txt', 'r').read()
    url = f"https://api-v2-mainnet.paras.id/collection-stats?collection_id={token}"

    data = requests.get(url).json()["data"]["results"]["floor_price"]
    price = str(round(float(data)*10000)/10000)
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=":gem: $"+price))```

[fervent shoal]

What do I assign it as, only ‘datetime.now’ has the red squiggly line under it

[slate swan]

ah its because of the mathematical operations your perform

[fervent shoal]

Epic make look like code fail Xd

[final iron]

You know how to assign a variable, right?

[slate swan]

why multiply it my 10000 and divide it again?

[final iron]

my_var = "is amazing"

[fervent shoal]

Yes, but what do I assign it as

What’s after the = sign

[final iron]

this

[woven ingot]

So I can set how many decimals I want

[final iron]

Use round()

!d round

[unkempt canyon]

round

round(number[, ndigits])```
Return *number* rounded to *ndigits* precision after the decimal point. If *ndigits* is omitted or is `None`, it returns the nearest integer to its input.

For the built-in types supporting [`round()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#round "round"), values are rounded to the closest multiple of 10 to the power minus *ndigits*; if two multiples are equally close, rounding is done toward the even choice (so, for example, both `round(0.5)` and `round(-0.5)` are `0`, and `round(1.5)` is `2`). Any integer value is valid for *ndigits* (positive, zero, or negative). The return value is an integer if *ndigits* is omitted or `None`. Otherwise, the return value has the same type as *number*.

For a general Python object `number`, `round` delegates to `number.__round__`.

[slate swan]

just round the value

[slate swan]

^

[fervent shoal]

classmethod
datetime.now(tz=None)
time.time()

[woven ingot]

I did it here but it broke the bot

[fervent shoal]

i know for a fact im doing this wrong, how do i fix it

[woven ingot]

@tasks.loop(seconds=20)
async def loop():
    token = open('crypto.txt', 'r').read()
    url = f"https://api-v2-mainnet.paras.id/collection-stats?collection_id={token}"

    data = requests.get(url).json()["data"]["results"]["floor_price"]
    price = str(round(float(data), 2)
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=":gem: $"+price))```

[slate swan]

you want it with decimals or without decimals?

[woven ingot]

With 2 decimals

[slate swan]

!e py num_str = "1234565325632653.34532" print(round(float(num_str),3))

it should work then, are you sure the data that website returns is in numeric form?

[woven ingot]

Not really my old API was how do i check?

https://api-v2-mainnet.paras.id/collection-stats?collection_id=clapes-by-clapesnear

[fervent shoal]

@bot.command(name="uptime")
async def uptime(ctx: commands.Context):
await ctx.send(f"{client.uptime}")
quick google check, this should work?

[final iron]

That would just send when the bot was started

[quick gust]

they're in the same dir, just adding database.db to the gitignore will work right? no . or /?

[pliant gulch]

I would add *.db to the .gitignore to ignore all db files

Means you won't need to manually add it for each db file you have

[quick gust]

i see, thanks

[fervent shoal]

@bot.command(name="uptime")
async def _uptime(self,ctx):
uptime = str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=int(round(time.time()-startTime))))
await ctx.send(uptime)
i need to define startTime, any idea on how

[gaunt ice]

i dont relly understand this

[fervent shoal]

Tbh I just don’t get the startTime part

I think my question is too specific for Google

[final iron]

Make a bot var

And variable/function names should be named in the snake_case convention

camelCase should never be used in python

[fervent shoal]

h u h

ok so startTime = (something idk)

[final iron]

No

start_time = time code here

[fervent shoal]

why start_time instead of startTime

[final iron]

Because pep8

[fervent shoal]

and what is the time code in this case

[final iron]

!pep8

[unkempt canyon]

PEP 8 is the official style guide for Python. It includes comprehensive guidelines for code formatting, variable naming, and making your code easy to read. Professional Python developers are usually required to follow the guidelines, and will often use code-linters like flake8 to verify that the code they're writing complies with the style guide.

[slate swan]

you're using vsc right?

[quick gust]

yes

its a private repo, I wanna ignore venv because its annoying to push it every time

[slate swan]

dont you use source control?

[quick gust]

I am using source control

this right?

[slate swan]

left click on the files you want to add to gitignore and use "add to gitignore"

makes life easier

[quick gust]

right click?

[slate swan]

oh yes right click

[quick gust]

only have these

[slate swan]

from the source control

[quick gust]

ah

sec

seems the venv files arent there in the "changes" anymore

though I can see this green marker which I think means "new files"

[slate swan]

cool, and ill assume you use the source control for push too?

[quick gust]

yep

[slate swan]

see what file is it indicating

[nimble plume]

!afk command comes in which category?

[quick gust]

Lib\site-packages and some of the packages inside it

oh wow that fixed it, amazing

[final iron]

You're not in a class. You don't need self

do we need to import something

@quick gust

[fervent shoal]

So the self should just not exist

[final iron]

Remove it

[quick gust]

self.bot.ctx.send, ctx.send is enough

[fervent shoal]

Alr thanks so much for the help

so if u trying to make a cog file, use commands.command instead of bot.command

how could i put embeds in these

[final iron]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

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

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

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

New in version 2.0.

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