  if 'word' in message.content.lower():

I'm trying to get the bot to say something when a user says either word or WOrd, but message.content.lower doesnt seem to work. Anyone have any suggestions?

[manic wing]

this should work fine, are you sure youve saved it and whatnot?

[pine crypt]

Similar to how loading cogs works, is it possible to use a for loop that will add fields to a help command?

I may have just found my way to automate help command

[viral wolf]

Tried restarting the bot and it worked fine, thanks for suggesting it

[manic wing]

well message.content.lower() should work fine

[manic wing]

is there some code you could show? also try debugging it; try printing message.content to make sure it triggers, the codes updated, etc

[viral wolf]

Nope, it just had to restart i think it works now

[manic wing]

that works if you have a small bot with a few amount of commands, but sometimes its better to just use text in a description or smthing because you can only have a couple fields

[pine crypt]

From a cog, how could you find the class name of another cog?

[manic wing]

cog.qualified_name

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.qualified_name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.qualified\_name

property qualified_name: str```
Returns the cog’s specified name, not the class name.

[manic wing]

Returns the cog’s specified name, not the class name
realised it said this, but ill assume that you're not setting a specific name

[pine crypt]

Instead of the filename - because my filenames are different to class names - I want the class name

Type e.g Misc / Admin

[manic wing]

this works for class name assuming you havent done anything fancy

which i dont think you have

give it a shot

[pine crypt]

How would I use cog.qualified_name in the code I just sent?

[manic wing]

i figured out the right one

cog.__cog_name__

[manic wing]

ah

no, don't use this method

[pine crypt]

okay

[manic wing]

you only want to use that for loading cogs

to get all the cogs the bot has do bot.cogs

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.cogs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.cogs

property cogs: Mapping[str, discord.ext.commands.cog.Cog]```
A read-only mapping of cog name to cog.

[pine crypt]

i already have cogs loaded

[manic wing]

i know

[pine crypt]

I tried using this before and it seems closer to what I want to do

[manic wing]

do you know list comprehension?

walk_commands is what you want

[pine crypt]

When I try to implement walk_commands() it says it is not defined

[manic wing]

.

[pine crypt]

Not really no

[manic wing]

i wont teach it right now

you need to learn it

list comprehension is quintessential to your python

[pine crypt]

Could I have any links in order to learn list comprehension?

[manic wing]

ill link something and explain it as well

[slim ibex]

nothing to really learn. you just should know when its best to use it

https://realpython.com/list-comprehension-python/

>>> squares = []
>>> for i in range(10):
...     squares.append(i * i)
>>> squares
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

goes to

>>> squares = [i * i for i in range(10)]
>>> squares
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

from realpython

[manic wing]

you can do ```py
for cog in bot.cogs:

cog is an str of the cogs name

to get the cog instance its bot.cogs[cog]

eg to get the commands in a cog it would be:

for command in bot.cogs[cog].walk_commands():
print(command.name)
# you can add this to a list (lests call it cog_commands) because you dont know list comprehension
# add this to the embed

embed.add_field(
name=cog,
value=cog_commands```

list comprehension is a one line list

so to get all the commands in a cog it would be [cmd.name for cmd in cog.walk_commands()]

!list

[unkempt canyon]

Do you ever find yourself writing something like this?

>>> squares = []
>>> for n in range(5):
...    squares.append(n ** 2)
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Using list comprehensions can make this both shorter and more readable. As a list comprehension, the same code would look like this:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5)]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

List comprehensions also get an if statement:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5) if n % 2 == 0]
[0, 4, 16]

For more info, see this pythonforbeginners.com post.

[pine crypt]

Both your examples remind me of this from when I have seen it before just that it is not known to me as list comprehension

[manic wing]

ok

[slim ibex]

def generate_integer_list() -> List[int]:
    """
    Generates a random list of integers

    Returns
    -------
    List[int]
        A list of integers generated randomly
    """
    int_list = [randint(0, 100) for _ in range(randint(2, 10))]
    int_list.sort()

    return int_list

this is an example of a function i made that generates a random list of integers with elements that can be in between 0 and 100, and there can be at least 2 elements and at most 10 elements. its made with list comp

[manic wing]

seems pretty pointless

[slim ibex]

its not related to anything discord bot

it was just an example i have

[pine crypt]

so would it be something like for cog in but how would you get all cogs in a ./cogs folder?

[manic wing]

you dont need to get all the cogs in a folder

you just do bot.cogs and it gives you all the cogs your bot has

[pine crypt]

ah okay

like this?

[manic wing]

sort of

cog returns the str name of the cog

so that would probably be in name

and to get the commands you would do [command.name for commands in self.client.cogs[cog]]

bearing in mind you need the command name not object

[manic wing]

hence the .name

[manic wing]

this seems like a lot to take in

[pine crypt]

something ... happened?

[manic wing]

noo

you need to loop through

and do it in the value

you still want to loop through the cogs

think about it logically

[pine crypt]

cog is not defined

[manic wing]

you want 2 things

you want the cog name and the commands in the cog

[pine crypt]

yes

[command.name for command in self.client.cogs]```

what would be this equivalent in a long list version?

that may make more sense to me as to what is going on

[manic wing]

to get the cog name you can iterate through all the cogs the bot has py for cog in self.client.cogs
now you have the name of the cog (cog), you need the commands, correct? so to get the commands you would use cog.walk_commands() where cog is the instance of cog. To get the cog we will do self.client.cogs[cog] which returns the cog instance (self.client.cogs returns a dict with the name being the key, and the cog instance being the value).
to get the commands in the cog it is [command.name for command in self.client.cogs[cog].walk_commands()]
so then it would be ```py
for cog in self.client.cogs:

cog is the name

cog_commands = [command.name for command in self.client.cogs[cog].walk_commands()]

cog_commands is a list of all the commands the cog has

all you have to do now is add the name (cog) and the commands (cog_commands) to the field

[manic wing]

wdym

im butchering this explanation

[pine crypt]

i got it

not .append(cog) sorry

.append(cog_commands)

[manic wing]

cog_commands is already a list

thats what list comprehension is

[pine crypt]

ah ok

[manic wing]

no point appending a list to a list

instead you want to join the list

value = ", ".join(cog_commands)

you want to join the list so its a string not a list

!join

[unkempt canyon]

Joining Iterables

If you want to display a list (or some other iterable), you can write:

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
output = ""
separator = ", "
for color in colors:
    output += color + separator
print(output)
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow, '

However, the separator is still added to the last element, and it is relatively slow.

A better solution is to use str.join.

colors = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow']
separator = ", "
print(separator.join(colors))
# Prints 'red, green, blue, yellow'

An important thing to note is that you can only str.join strings. For a list of ints,
you must convert each element to a string before joining.

integers = [1, 3, 6, 10, 15]
print(", ".join(str(e) for e in integers))
# Prints '1, 3, 6, 10, 15'

[pine crypt]

thanks

This is starting to give errors?

It is due to help.py

this runs successfully

[manic wing]

have you accidentally imported some weird ass module

ive never seen that error and i assume you havent done any _closing

[naive spoke]

myEmbed.set_author(name= ctx.user.name)

    await context.message.channel.send(embed=myEmbed)
    
user = ctx.message.author

it says ctx is not defined

[manic wing]

whats context and whats ctx

[manic wing]

huh

[pine crypt]

Let me make your job easier

The whole help.py file

[manic wing]

oh

you've uh

do you mean commands.Cog

[naive spoke]

context is the funtion and u said ctx is the person who used the command

[pine crypt]

ctx stands for context

[naive spoke]

oh

[manic wing]

you've tried to add a command to a help command

[manic wing]

can you show your code

you havent passed ctx

[naive spoke]

ok

My main file (client.py)

[manic wing]

on of the field values is empty, meaning a cog might not have any commands

[pine crypt]

yes i have an event cog

[naive spoke]

here

when i ran it i saw this

[manic wing]

you can do if cog == "event": continue meaning it would skip that loop iteration

[pine crypt]

ye

[manic wing]

context.author.name - also I recommend renaming context to ctx - just kinda naming conventions. Also, for set_author(name = context) its context.author.name.
ps you can just do await context.send(embed=myEmbed) and remove the message.channel part

remove client = discord.Client()

[naive spoke]

ok

[manic wing]

you have redefined it to commands.Bot

[naive spoke]

yea

[wide burrow]

bro how to fix no module named discord

i tried everything

[manic wing]

pip install discord.py

[pine crypt]

This shows the same error?

[manic wing]

well whats the cog event called?

also you dont need the else

[wide burrow]

didnt work

it says requirements met

already satisfied

[manic wing]

that means you have multiple python versions installed

try and figure out which one you use, and uninstall the resrt

[pine crypt]

Sorry, it is late midnight where I am and I appear to be loosing brain cells

[manic wing]

its often python and python3

[modest plover]

Hi, anyone who's good with Disnake, I need help.

My bot won't load cogs, even though I've used bot.load_extensions().

It also doesn't throw a traceback error when loading the bot

[steep wind]

how do you do 2 inputs and separate them? so like (command) mcc! bossman fjay but separate bossman and fjay and keep them by themselves

[manic wing]

most of us here use disnake

[modest plover]

Ah ok

[wide burrow]

where i can find all of them

[manic wing]

im gonna need a bit more info than this

[manic wing]

idk, ask in #python-discussion

[modest plover]

I'll get my files one sec

[wide burrow]

kk

ty

[steep wind]

if anyone knows @ me in reply

[modest plover]

#main.py
import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands
import os
from decouple import config

token = config('token')

bot = commands.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f"Logged in as {bot.user}.")
  
bot.run(token)

#this is in the folder "commands"

    @commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("Pong!")

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Ping(bot))

[manic wing]

you would just do ```py
@bot.command
async def command(ctx, bossman, fjay):

you now have bossman and fjay values```

[manic wing]

can you show me how youy're loading your extensions?

[split plover]

is there a way with discord.py when the bot tries to send a message with more than 2000 characters or more that it sends it automatically in 2 or more messages?

[steep wind]

thats not how im doing commands im doing them like if msg.startswith("mcc! "):

[manic wing]

you would have to subclass context and bot and it gets a bit complicated

[steep wind]

so is it possible to so it with msg.split

and also the input can be anything not specfically bossman and fjay

[manic wing]

this is not recommended in the slightest, but you can do args = msg.split() and then you have the bossman and fjay seperated

[modest plover]

bot.load_extensions("commands")

[manic wing]

.split() automatically splits by whitespace

[modest plover]

Wair

Wait*

[manic wing]

where? xd

[modest plover]

Why isn't it there-

[manic wing]

lol

[modest plover]

I don't know, one sec

bot.load_extensions("commands")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"{bot.user} is loading into developer mode...")

bot.run(token)

There

It copied my old one

[manic wing]

is there a file in your directory called commands.py?

ah

its load_extension not load_extensions

[modest plover]

It uses load_extension__s__()

[manic wing]

wait damn

i didnt know that existed

thats pretty mad ngl

[modest plover]

I knew it existed, it worked, my bot files got wiped, it broke

[manic wing]

so you have a directory called commands?

im not sure if its looking for an __init__.py

[pine crypt]

This finds the name but what about if i wanted the description of the command?

[manic wing]

you would do command.name + command.description

[manic wing]

ill take a look at the source code of load_extensions later and see how it works

[naive spoke]

@manic wing so i changed the code but i get this when i run it

[manic wing]

you're running the bot multiple times

[modest plover]

def load_extensions(self, path: str) -> None:
        """Loads all extensions in a directory.
        Parameters
        ----------
        path: :class:`str`
            The path to search for extensions
        """
        for extension in disnake.utils.search_directory(path):
            self.load_extension(extension)

There

[naive spoke]

yea i need to save it

[manic wing]

it might be trying to load __pycache__

i think load_extension might be better `

this has no check

you can do ```py
import os
for cog in os.listdir('commands'):
if not cog.startswith('_'):
bot.load_extension('commands.' + cog[:-3])

give this a go

[wide burrow]

newest version for python is 3.10?

[manic wing]

correct

not to be confused with python version 3.1

[wide burrow]

ye ty

should i add python 3.10 to path?

[manic wing]

yes

and remove all the other python versions you have

[wide burrow]

i think i did

hope it works now

[manic wing]

windows python is a fuckery

[wide burrow]

true

[naive spoke]

so thats the reason its happening?

[manic wing]

well ... yeah

[pine crypt]

Gives the value as all cog_commands in that cog but most of my cogs have only 1 command so how could I make the name have the command and value have command description?

[naive spoke]

but when i try it without running it again i get the same output

[manic wing]

because you're running it multiple times...

reset bot token

[naive spoke]

ok

[modest plover]

That also doesn't work @manic wing

The /ping command doesn't get registered

[wide burrow]

fk man it didnt work

[manic wing]

oh name = cog + self.client.cogs[cog].description

[manic wing]

registered? why would it get registered

its not a slash command

[modest plover]

It's supposed to be-

have I fucked it up?

[manic wing]

well uh

[modest plover]

Ima take that as a yes.

[manic wing]

@commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("Pong!")
``` this is a command

not a slash command

[modest plover]

oh.

How do I make it a slash command?

[manic wing]

do you know how to make a slash command?

[wide burrow]

still giving requirements already satisfied

[modest plover]

Roughly

I did have some at one point but lost it

[manic wing]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/slash_commands/param.py

familiarize yourself with that directory

[manic wing]

this makes a command

so that should work fine

[modest plover]

Woo!

[manic wing]

nice!

[modest plover]

I got it working, thanks Caeden :))

[pine crypt]

it still only gives the name of the cog?

[manic wing]

no problem, one down, infinite more to go

[modest plover]

I'm sure of it.

[manic wing]

have you set a description inside the cog?

[modest plover]

Calling it now, I'll be back in 10 minutes for a dumb as fuck reason.

[manic wing]

you set a cog description like ```py
class cog(commands.Cog):
""" this is the description """

[manic wing]

we've all been at this stage before

[manic wing]

not a problem

[modest plover]

Mine doesn't have that.

I have one set, but no description pops up

[manic wing]

do you want the command description or the cog description?

[pine crypt]

cog

[manic wing]

so you need to set the cog description

[manic wing]

this is setting a command description

[modest plover]

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands

class Ping(commands.Cog):
    """Pings the bot to see if it can reply to commands correctly."""

Mine doesn't have a description even though there's one set

[pine crypt]

how?

[manic wing]

wdym?

[manic wing]

this is how you set a cog description

[pine crypt]

using """"""

[modest plover]

I have?

[manic wing]

yes, its called a docstring

[manic wing]

im talking to AVC

[modest plover]

O

[pine crypt]

lol i thought it was used to comment out extremely long lines of code

[modest plover]

It is

It works for both

[manic wing]

no, docstrings are used to provide information - you're thinking of commenting

[manic wing]

no, thats not what docstrings are for

[wide burrow]

ever thought how they programmed a programming language?

[modest plover]

Just in this instance, it's used as a docstring

[modest plover]

Some mad wacky 1s and 0s probably

[manic wing]

def func() -> str:
  """
  Returns
  -------
  str
  """
    
  return "hi"
``` this is a docstring

[pine crypt]

binary

[manic wing]

no

[slim ibex]

binary is a numbering scheme in base2

its what computers can read

[pine crypt]

same is a programming language

[slim ibex]

computers can't read things like what we write

[manic wing]

binary is the lowest form of computer interpreted language, then machine language which is base level shit just under c/c++ - python was made in c or c++, i cant remember

!ot

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channel: #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

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

[pine crypt]

yes, but its not the same as the source code we write. it is machine code that it reads

have you got any scholarships or degrees in Computer Science?

[manic wing]

thousands, my name is Linux Torvalds

[modest plover]

I used a docstring to put in a description for the command and it doesn't show said description on the command

BRO YOU'RE ON GOOGLE

[manic wing]

you did it incorrectly then didnt you

How come? It looks the same as how you put it?

thats a cog description, not a command description

[modest plover]

O

[manic wing]

you guys are getting docstrings for cogs and commands mixed up

take a second to slow down and think about the logic

[cedar stream]

Lmao

[modest plover]

It's 10pm, thinking of logic isn't possible rn lmao

Where would I put the description for the command then?

[manic wing]

as i said, slow down and think about the logic

its straight forward...inside the command

[cedar stream]

description=“”

[manic wing]

im making them use docstrings instead

[cedar stream]

Ohhhh

[manic wing]

to confuse them less and to educate

[cedar stream]

Okok

Go ahead

[wide burrow]

should i delete those

foudn them here

[manic wing]

whacking out random shit probably isnt the best idea

[wide burrow]

ye thats why i asked

idk what r those

[cedar stream]

Lmfao

[manic wing]

go to settings>uninstall

[wide burrow]

still getting requirements already satisfied issue

[manic wing]

uninstall other python versions

dont fuck around with the files themselves or you'll piss off the application

application will wonder where the fuck its files have gone and it will throw a tantrum

[wide burrow]

lol alright

ty

[cedar stream]

Just delete This PC

[manic wing]

i was gonna suggest that

[cedar stream]

Great minds think alike

[manic wing]

remake your pc

[wide burrow]

there is just those

[manic wing]

switch to linux

[manic wing]

well looks like you only have one python version

[wide burrow]

ye

[cedar stream]

https://tenor.com/view/computer-old-man-my-computer-delete-my-computer-delete-gif-12348422

[manic wing]

either switch to linux or create a help channel, i dont fuck around with windows enough to help you fix microsofts problems

[wide burrow]

alright

[cedar stream]

Microsoft rly pain in the ass all the time

[manic wing]

if you want you can just sue microsoft and see if they give you some cash to afford linux

[manic wing]

linux is free

[cedar stream]

Word, windows, excel, office365 etc.

Nothing works

[manic wing]

not all of your cogs have descriptions it seems

[wide burrow]

@manic wing do u have an idea in which channel they can help me

[manic wing]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[wide burrow]

ty

[pine crypt]

I have the help cog in which the help command is in, ping cog which does have a description, and ready cog which is ignored?

[cedar stream]

You cant have no value for value kwarg

[pine crypt]

Does Help itself need a description?

[manic wing]

yes

[pine crypt]

Fixed it

[manic wing]

yipee

Nice

[pine crypt]

Now for the aesthetics

[manic wing]

good luck.

Just steal the design

Can I delete cog_commands since it is not in use?

[manic wing]

if you want

it might be useful later

[cedar stream]

Comment it out and see if anything breaks

If It’ s not used u can get rid of it

Mby ur ide alr shows if It’ s being used

[pine crypt]

VS Code has this thing where stuff not used turns a darker shade i.e cog_commands is a darker blue than other variables

[cedar stream]

Then yea u can delete it or comment it out if you will need it later

[pine crypt]

any way to make this automatic instead of listing all cogs incase I have too many later on?

[cedar stream]

Is Ready a name of a cog?

[pine crypt]

class

[cedar stream]

Idk what you are tryna do

[cedar stream]

With this

[placid skiff]

someone knows a way to go a new line without using "\n"?

[cedar stream]

Enter 🤷🏼‍♂️

[placid skiff]

funny

[cedar stream]

But u need triple wuotes

Quotes

[placid skiff]

well i don't know if it works for a bot message

[pine crypt]

it goes through all cogs and if it is named "Ready" it will ignore because ready only contains events not commands therefore cannot be used in help embed. how can i make it so it will instead ignore all cogs that only contain events?

[cedar stream]

Id just use \n honestly except if u got a good reason not to

[cedar stream]

I think it does, not sure

[manic wing]

?

[cedar stream]

I think I actually did it that way

@manic wing help

I forgot

[manic wing]

what

[pine crypt]

this requires manual typing. is there a way to check if a cog has a command, if not then ignore it, else add to help

[cedar stream]

The HelpCommand class

The one u can inherit from

Forgot It’ s name

[placid skiff]

found another way

[cedar stream]

Nice

[placid skiff]

declare a variable and put my string in it

[manic wing]

well uh

you can undelete cog_commands

[pine crypt]

i still have it

[manic wing]

and do if not cog_commands: continue

[manic wing]

and remove this

[pine crypt]

so then cog_commands will have to be defined before it instead

[manic wing]

yes

wait what

where it was defined was fine

[manic wing]

you just add this check before the embed add field

[pine crypt]

ye

[cedar stream]

@pine crypt https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=help#discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand I believe It’ s this class that you can inherit and make ur own help command

[manic wing]

don’t recommend subclassing to a beginner 😢

AVC dont follow this i beg

[pine crypt]

Are these valid functions of ctx?

[cedar stream]

Should beginners be making bots tho

[pine crypt]

I made a bot 2 years ago and it failed badly

[cedar stream]

U should probably learn oop first

[cedar stream]

Do yk oop

[manic wing]

yes thats good

[pine crypt]

Nope

[cedar stream]

Learn

Oop

So u can subclass

[pine crypt]

My parents do automation testing in python

[cedar stream]

They know oop?

[pine crypt]

Which includes OOP

Yes

[cedar stream]

U should learn oop

[split plover]

can i somehow hide role specific commands from 'help' command?

[manic wing]

pay your parents to teach you python

or get them to pay me

[manic wing]

oh its avatar_url, sorry

well depending on your version

[cedar stream]

Or google “how to be pro oop-er”

[cedar stream]

Inherit HelpCommand

[split plover]

what?

[cedar stream]

Do yk oop?

[split plover]

what's that?

[cedar stream]

Object oriented programming

[split plover]

and what should i do with that?

i'm not a top tier programmer

[cedar stream]

Learn it, It’ s important

[cedar stream]

No need to be

[split plover]

ok so how can i hide a command from the help command?

[pine crypt]

Discord has a set character limit but an embed doesn't count as actual text so would an embed be worth 1 character?

[cedar stream]

I think there is a character limit within embeds

[manic wing]

what

theres a different between content and embed

[pliant gulch]

Base model rewrite looking good so far

[manic wing]

you can have 10 embeds in a message and 2000 characters

[pliant gulch]

10 embeds per message max

[manic wing]

oh 10

[manic wing]

what model rewrite

[pliant gulch]

All model

[manic wing]

whats the model for

[pliant gulch]

I'm rewriting all the models I have in the wrapper

The model is just a skeleton class for discord models

Making it easier to add them

[manic wing]

andy can you have 10 images and 10 embeds on a file

[pliant gulch]

I don't think there is a limit on files

Amount wise*, so as long as its under 8 MiB

It would be fine to send

[manic wing]

damn im thinking of how to send the largest message now

lots of \ns in the content and embeds, and as many white files as you can fit in

[cedar stream]

Just put a dot, then a lot of new lines and then another fot

Dot*

[modest plover]

There's a limit of 10 attachments at once

@manic wing

At least there is for normal users, idk about bots

[pliant gulch]

Ah, ok that makes sense

Although I don't really see an obvious spot in the docs that say this limit

[modest plover]

Yeah..

I knew of the limit purely because I tried to send 20 photos at once

[pliant gulch]

Lmao

The documentation for the API could be a lot better

[pine crypt]

Lol I'm not done with my help command yet

Time to add buttons and pages

Bruh this is gonna take a while

How to add buttons?

How to add pages?

similar to this?

[cedar stream]

U gotta…

Subclass

[pine crypt]

ye icba to work any more

cya

[cedar stream]

Cya

[tacit token]

Hello! mee6 how did you solve that embed doesn't have a name just value?

translate is shit

so, how can i make embed similiar MEE6? Mee6 dont use names, use only value.

[hoary cargo]

\u200b

[tacit token]

o ty

[tacit token]

and i how use custom emojis?

@hoary cargo

[left crater]

you get the emoji id

[hardy wing]

await (await client.fetch_user(466829347953836033).send('I joined '+guild.name))```
anyone know what I'm doing wrong it's saying it was both never awaited and it's a nil value

[hoary cargo]

<:emoji_name:id> to get the id you can put \ in front of the emote you post in chat

[slim ibex]

what the fuck is this cursed code

[hardy wing]

I'm just trying to get the bot to dm me when it joins a server

someone else gave me that code but it didn't work

[sick birch]

put it in seperate variables, that looks ungodly

to do it properly you'd have to mess with it even more

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

Looks much cleaner and would also fix your issue

[hardy wing]

oh alr will try that

[sick birch]

Sometimes when you sacrifice readability and cleanliness you get errors that could've been avoided, so it's always best to keep your code neat and organized so that doesn't happen

[slate swan]

Hey! How to get the object of a user in the server (with a given ID)?

I tried guild.get_member(id)
And bot.get_user(id)

Both return None

[final iron]

A member object?

[slate swan]

Yes

[final iron]

The member isn't in the bots cache or its the wrong id

[slate swan]

Guess it isnt in the bots cache then, but what about guild.get_member() then?

[final iron]

Same issue

[slate swan]

Oh ok

I see so its impossible?

[final iron]

get tries to get it from the bots cache

[slate swan]

I see

Could I use fetch?

[final iron]

Yeah

!d discord.Guild.fetch_member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_member

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

Retrieves a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") from a guild ID, and a member ID.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_member()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.get_member "discord.Guild.get_member") instead.

[slate swan]

Ah great

Thanks

Oh and what could I do now to remove a role? Since its now a coro

[final iron]

!d discord.Member.remove_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.remove\_roles

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

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

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

[slate swan]

I did

user = guild.fetch_member(id)
await user.remove_roles(role)

Says that this does not have that attribute

[final iron]

You have to await fetch

[slate swan]

Oh I see lol

[sick birch]

Yes, all fetch_* methods are asynchronous considering they make an API request. This is true of most coroutines in discord.py, if it's asynchronous then it's a good bet that it's making an API call. Because of this, it's preferable to stay away from making a direct API call when you can get it from the cache or some other source, since API requests can be slow

[hoary cargo]

also you need member intents

[slate swan]

hm now i wonder if discord.py has any coros for non-api call stuff

Yea works now

[boreal ravine]

there is

[slate swan]

not for fetch_member(), member intents is required for getting member data from gateway

[boreal ravine]

utils.maybe_coroutine is a coro

there are lots of coroutines that do non-api stuff

[slate swan]

actually yeah there's a bunch nvm

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/4aafa39e8ca7fcdc7acd34295eed41bd3700d44b/discord/channel.py#L201-L202 Lmao, wtf

[unkempt canyon]

discord/channel.py lines 201 to 202

async def _get_channel(self):
    return self```

[boreal ravine]

what?

[slate swan]

because abc.Messageable.send() uses await self._get_channel()

[pliant gulch]

Ok that makes a lot more sense now

[slate swan]

it needs to be asynchronous because User.send() exists

hm interesting, Member._get_channel() is its own thing

oh ic, because User._get_channel() isn't copied over

[pliant gulch]

Wonder why it isn't copied over though, the API treats Member as a wrapper for User with extra information, and even has a user field inside of the raw data given

[slate swan]

the Member class is decorated with a method that assigns various properties, for example, Member.id is a getter, for Member._user.id

so i'm not sure what you mean

oh the method isn't copied over because its name starts with _ and the decorator ignores properties that do

[pliant gulch]

You could probably make Member a child class of User

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/member.py#L158-#L203

[unkempt canyon]

discord/member.py line 158

def flatten_user(cls):```

[pliant gulch]

Saves some overhead

[slate swan]

no, that's worse for memory efficiency

creating a full user object per guild member is kind of pointless

because a single user can be in multiple guilds, hence having multiple instances of Member associated with them

[pliant gulch]

Isn't there an underlying user anyways for the Member class?

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/45d498c1b76deaf3b394d17ccf56112fa691d160/discord/member.py#L289

[unkempt canyon]

discord/member.py line 289

self._user: User = state.store_user(data['user'])```

[slate swan]

yes

[pliant gulch]

So, there would be a user for every member either way

But yea I do see your other point

[slate swan]

no, _user represents a single instance of User

it's not like a User is created every time a Member is created

[tacit token]

How can i make a comma dand send message bot who write the commad only seen it

[slate swan]

it's simply a reference, that's all

[mighty apex]

hiiiiiii

[pliant gulch]

Ah I see ok, but either way if you think about it though, if you created a User then cached it, it would overwrite the previous cache then later the garbage collector would free the memory for the extra user class

But yea I see now it's more preformant to not subclass it

[slate swan]

i don't see what you mean, only a single instance of User is cached per user the bot can see anyways

[mighty apex]

bruh your mom is ugly

[rotund frigate]

trying to make my bot send a message as soon as it gets a message from a specific channel ``` if message.content.startswith('$start_logs'):
if message.channel.find('Bot-Commands'):
channel = client.get_channel(941323760215138324)
await channel.send('s7')

[slate swan]

member._user is simply a reference to that same user

[pliant gulch]

I was talking theoretically for the case Member subclasses User

[slate swan]

still doesn't sound correct

[slate swan]

screenshots nft pfp

[slate swan]

what is that meant to do?

[slate swan]

why not use a command and check the channel?

[rotund frigate]

when i type $start_logs in the bot commands channel, the bot says s7

[pliant gulch]

How so, if you created a new User class when one exists already, then you cached that, you'd just be getting rid of the old created class, if there is no reference to it the garbage collector will free the memory allocated for it

[slate swan]

if message.channel.find('Bot-Commands'):

this is confusion

[rotund frigate]

idk im new to python and i thot that would work ;-;

without that it works if i type start logs in any channel

[slate swan]

thought* what you spelled is a bad word lol

[rotund frigate]

Hey no bullism

[slate swan]

well then why create multiple instances? that's just not great either for performance

[pliant gulch]

Again

[pliant gulch]

[slate swan]

im not its just not a good thing to say lol

self._user = state.store_user(data['user'])

this line basically creates a user object if it doesn't exist in cache, caches it, and then returns it
if a cached user exists, it returns that instead, and ignores the data passed to it

[rotund frigate]

i changed it to ```@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.channel.startswith('logs'):
if message.content.startswith('$start_log'):
channel = client.get_channel(941323760215138324)
await channel.send('s7')

it still didnt work

it said the startswith altribute is wrong doesnt work

[small igloo]

google tf

[small igloo]

help?

[balmy ivy]

it says it

[small igloo]

ik, that new chapta from google, how to solv it in my bot

[balmy ivy]

it says to many request

[small igloo]

too many request to the sorry/index E

isnt that bcuz bot havent solve the chapta?

[small igloo]

ok, so i just need to wait or what

[slate swan]

you got ratelimited by the api

an 429 means the client has done too many requests

[hoary cargo]

The bot be like let me in

[small igloo]

ok then

[small igloo]

btw hullo

[slate swan]

hi

[slate swan]

youll have to wait

you can check the apis docs to see the ratelimit

so something like this doesnt happend again

[worldly oyster]

i ned help

[maiden fable]

With?

[worldly oyster]

so look

i want al of this to reply to my msg

this

[final iron]

!d discord.Message.reply

[worldly oyster]

wont work?

[slate swan]

show

[worldly oyster]

show code?

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

you arent replying to anything it should be

await ctx.reply()

since the Context class has a reply method

[worldly oyster]

i got a error

up expect indent

[slate swan]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[final iron]

😔

[patent lark]

if you cant fix indention errors you shouldnt be coding a discord bot.

[slate swan]

why so sad :((

[final iron]

Spitting fax

[worldly oyster]

ik how

[final iron]

You're about to yell at me for my implementation of the user object

😔

[slate swan]

it better be good😡

[final iron]

You'll be disappointed

[slate swan]

[final iron]

I haven't even started

[slate swan]

🧍‍♂️

[worldly oyster]

what do i put for it all to reply

[patent lark]

also why do you call the set_footer() function twice? while the first one has the text kwarg with no value passed.

[slate swan]

everything you want it to reply with

[worldly oyster]

okay

[worldly oyster]

tyik

[patent lark]

Context.reply() works so much like Context.send(). difference being that it will do a reply to the Context.message which is the message you use to invoke the command.

[slate swan]

btw that code isnt really following pep8

!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.

More information:
• PEP 8 document
• Our PEP 8 song! :notes:

[worldly oyster]

sorry abt tha

[patent lark]

the thing that bothers me most is that they used "client" as their bot object variable.

[slate swan]

nah its fine but you should follow it

[slate swan]

same lol

[patent lark]

discord.Client() exists, so does the bot object. name your discord.Client() object "client", and the bot object "bot". not the other way around.

[woven ingot]

I have a question maybe someone could help. Im pulling some data from an api and passing it to a variable called totalminted. Then im trying to display that variable in a embed message but I get the variable name instead of what the variable is storing. Im sure im just pluging it in incorrrectly but Im not sure how to make it display the varaiable data.

@client.command()
async def cher(ctx):
  embed = discord.Embed(
    title = 'Lorem Ipsum',
    description = "Lorem .",
    colour = discord.Colour.orange()
  )
  embed.add_field(name='Total Nfts Minted', value='totalminted', inline=False)```

[slate swan]

'totalminted' is that really a variable though

Remove the '' or use {totalminted}

[woven ingot]

Ok that is what I though. Im converting to a string right?

[slate swan]

Correct

[woven ingot]

Thank you!!

[lethal urchin]

does the cooldown decorator work for application commands too?

[balmy ivy]

how do i make it so it mentions the person "godlent"

[final iron]

!d discord.Member.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

property mention: str```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the member.

[woven ingot]

Can you center a string inside an embed so its center aligned?

[neat pagoda]

is anyone willing to prtner with me to build a discord bot? (Coded in Python of course) Dm me if your interested

[neat pagoda]

try embed1, not 1embed lol

[worldly oyster]

ik but did that

didn’t work i took button out shut wont work

[neat pagoda]

I have code that replies, hold up, lemme find it rq :)

[neat pagoda]

the thing you are looking for is

await ctx.reply(codehere)

[hardy wing]

opponent = random.choice(Characters)```
It's saying "set object is not subscriptable" in errors what does that mean

Characters is a table of strings only

[slate swan]

well characters is a set which you cant do such an action on it

[hardy wing]

oh wait I accidentally used a { instead of a [ mb

[slate swan]

lol

[tough trellis]

how do i see which platform a user is on?

[worldly oyster]

thanks baby

[final iron]

Don't think you can

[boreal ravine]

you can only check if a member is on mobile,

!d discord.Member.is_on_mobile

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.is\_on\_mobile

is_on_mobile()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.9)"): A helper function that determines if a member is active on a mobile device.

    embed.set_footer(text="Do $claim <> to claim it!")
    embed.set_image(url="attachment://" + picture)

[boreal ravine]

seems fine

don't hardcode a help command tho

[nimble plume]

ok

[nimble plume]

ok

[nimble plume]

means

anyone i have a weird red line that says its not closed

[final iron]

Don't hardcode a help command

means??

[final iron]

It means don't hardcode a help command?

[nimble plume]

hardcode?

[final iron]

[nimble plume]

..

[quick gust]

I wanna wait for 2 possible texts from a user, (yes or no). I was thinking of using wait_for but I have no idea how I would do something if they say "yes" and do something else if they say "no"

[nimble plume]

error

[slate swan]

just check message.content and whether it equals something

for example:

message = await client.wait_for('message')

if message.content == 'yes':
  ...
elif message.content == 'no':
  ...

this example is very basic and very prone to bad user input btw

[slate swan]

then show your code, we don't read minds around here

[quick gust]

Alright yeah got it, that wait_for will wait for any message from any user though right? So I'll check the message author too in the if

[slate swan]

Just use a check

[quick gust]

yeah but I have 2 different conditions

do something if yes, do something else if no

i didn't understand how I would implement checks with that

[slate swan]

def check(msg):
   return msg.content in ("yes","no") and msg.author == user

Its slightly wrong but i hope u get it

msg author should be msg.author

let me give an example, say I'm selling all my items.
I want the bot to send a confirmation message. If I reply with yes, it will sell it, or else it won't sell it. Now I just don't know how to integrate it with checks because if the check fails it doesn't even raise an error I think

[slate swan]

the check should just return a truthy or falsey value.

usually the check is put in place to make sure the channel and author are the same for both messages, any other logic is usually put after the message is received

[quick gust]

Yeah I think that's what I'll do

I'll give it a try, thanks for your help

[slate swan]

i've seen a lot of people who've unfortunately forgotten about while loops and have a big ass chain of wait_for, or they just stop the back and forth exchange when the end user makes an error

[slate swan]

This will keep listening to messages until you get either a yes or no message, why a while loop?

try:
  msg = await wait_for()
except TimoutError:
  return await send('timed out')

...

try:
  msg = await wait_for()
except TimoutError:
  return await send('timed out electric boogaloo')


# or

msg = await wait_for()

if condition(msg):
  msg = await wait_for()
  if condition(msg):
    msg = await wait_for()
    ...
  else:
    return await send('try again')
else:
  return await send('try again')

avoid this

[slate swan]

while loop for back and forth stuff

[slate swan]

you missed the self parameter

first parameter has to be self, ctx and other parameters follow after that.

[nimble plume]

ya i got it

thanks

[quasi stag]

how do i know what permissions does the user need on a missingpermissions error

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions.missing_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions.missing\_permissions

The required permissions that are missing.

[quasi stag]

thanks

[cloud mason]

cool

[slate swan]

whats cool?

[slate swan]

no bro youre uncool

[nimble plume]

!d send

[unkempt canyon]

Naw.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[nimble plume]

file=file

[boreal ravine]

guys

go to #bot-commands stop spamming ffs

[slate swan]

discord.

what is this command for

[nimble plume]

lol

[slate swan]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=None, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, mention_author=None, view=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[nimble plume]

use file =

[slate swan]

oh

[boreal ravine]

no

[slate swan]

lol i always forget its .abc.Messageable

[boreal ravine]

that sends a file

[slate swan]

Do you send the image file?

doesn't seems so

[nimble plume]

so what u want

[boreal ravine]

no? i don't wanna send the file

i just wanna send the embed with the file as it's image

[nimble plume]

then?

[slate swan]

he wants to attach a img in a embed

[nimble plume]

await ctx.send(embed=embedname)

[slate swan]

How do you suppose it to get added in the embed then?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[slate swan]

Read this.

[boreal ravine]

thats what i did mate

[nimble plume]

ok

[slate swan]

last part?

[boreal ravine]

no

this sends a file

[slate swan]

No wtf

[nimble plume]

lol

[slate swan]

Read the full message.

[nimble plume]

ctx.send(embed=embedname)

[slate swan]

Or atleast the first linem

[nimble plume]

see he has used it

[boreal ravine]

thats what i did

[nimble plume]

??

[nimble plume]

ok

any help now?

[boreal ravine]

no

[nimble plume]

great

[boreal ravine]

i did it earlier, the file got sent by itself and not inside the emebd

[slate swan]

Why do you expect random.choice to be same for both the command /event which you use to send the choice and the drop_card function

[nimble plume]

suggestions

[boreal ravine]

i don't use random.choice in the event

i only use it inside the function

[nimble plume]

ok

[slate swan]

and how do you send the file then?

[boreal ravine]

await message.channel.send(file=file, embed=embed) the output is the ss i sent earlier

[nimble plume]

🤨

[nimble plume]

!d embed

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

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

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

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

New in version 2.0.

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

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

[slate swan]

how is file defined in that function?

[boreal ravine]

file, embed = drop_card()

[slate swan]

But you returned only embed

[nimble plume]

😵‍💫

[boreal ravine]

that was the new function

i returned the file and embed in the old one

nvm guys i'm using disnake again because it has a file kwarg in set_image sorry for wasting your time

[slate swan]

lol

[nimble plume]

bot.voice_clients

bot is not defined i just shifted to cogs

class Commands(commands.Cog):
    """huh2?."""
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
```in the class

[slate swan]

self.bot

[boreal ravine]

dude

use your class attribute

you define it but you don't use it??

[slate swan]

^

[nimble plume]

huh?

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

#web-development

[nimble plume]

no idea

[slate swan]

no

[nimble plume]

btw ```py
voice = discord.utils.get(self.bot.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild)

[nimble plume]

not working then

self is not definer

wait lemee check indentation

[slate swan]

thats the problem lol

[fresh iron]

enough of python let's talk about pyutin

[slate swan]

if its not defined its not in the class

[nimble plume]

how to make font small in vs code

[fresh iron]

ctrl -

[slate swan]

#editors-ides

[cedar stream]

Zoom out

[fresh iron]

innit press control and minus

[nimble plume]

how?/

[slate swan]

I use the mouse scroll+key combination

[nimble plume]

ok

[slate swan]

or just dont ss and just

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[slate swan]

So only the code, and not the complete ui gets zoomed out

[cedar stream]

@nimble plume

[fresh iron]

self isn't defined

[nimble plume]

hec

[nimble plume]

yes

[nimble plume]

@slate swan

[cedar stream]

…

[nimble plume]

how do i fix??

what is problem

[cedar stream]

Add self argument

Ur inside a class

[nimble plume]

yes

[nimble plume]

..

[cedar stream]

Methods inside a class usually have 1st argument as self argument

Learn oop

[fresh iron]

did you my dude write all of that but don't know how to add self argument

[nimble plume]

yes

i think

[fresh iron]

🤨

[cedar stream]

…

[nimble plume]

ok lol i get it

i didnt add self in function

lol

[fresh iron]

oh congrats

[nimble plume]

😅

[cedar stream]

🎉

[nimble plume]

silly mistake

[fresh iron]

that's what i literally said though

[nimble plume]

lol

i was changin to cogs

so i forgot

working fine now

[cedar stream]

Also do pep8 a favour and leave a line between methods

So it looks nicer

[nimble plume]

okk

[fresh iron]

na effort

[nimble plume]

haha

done

[fresh iron]

hope you didn't mess up ur code

[nimble plume]

okk

[cedar stream]

LMFAOOO

[slate swan]

.edit(view=None)

[red sundial]

i have a hex code inside a string, how do i make it hexadecimal so that i can pass it to the embed colour

[brazen raft]

Use int with base 16

[slate swan]

discord.Color(int("hex", 16))

Like this right?

[maiden fable]

No?

[red sundial]

then how

[maiden fable]

!e print(int("10", 16))

[slate swan]

that's definately not what I did

[unkempt canyon]

@maiden fable :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

16

[slate swan]

!e print(int("ffffff",16))

[unkempt canyon]

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

[brazen raft]

How does the string you're getting look

[maiden fable]

Ah

[red sundial]

#ffffff

is it possible to send messages every day at a specific time in my timezone

[slate swan]

!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").

[halcyon bison]

no i dont mean like that

[slate swan]

Use this with 1 second loop

and you can compare your timezone's time using datetime module

[halcyon bison]

i tried that but i cant calculate it properly so can i do 4:00pm or something like that

[slate swan]

!e import datetime
print(str(datetime.datetime.now()))

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[slate swan]

Compare it with this format
