use a database and not json

Okay welp

bro

[neat pagoda]

lol, , that was the problme

[slate swan]

i told you guys already

but im not using d.py

[slate swan]

Ik now, I was wondering if I can use a try and os.system to import the module

but Ig os.system doesn't work

[slate swan]

you cant it doesnt have dpy installed and where is it gonna pull the token from

[slate swan]

it does

!e

import os

[unkempt canyon]

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

[No output]

[slate swan]

you can use os.system and run a pip command

doesnt matter it wont let you lol

Okay jeez

for safety

[velvet tinsel]

why

[slate swan]

you can use the pip package

UTILS?

that's the only way

[pliant gulch]

discord.utils.get takes an iterator, and the kwargs you give it are the attributes it needs to follow

[slate swan]

that..... is not a good way though?

[pliant gulch]

For an example, utils.get(members, name="foo") would get the member named foo inside of members

For roles, you'd iterate the guild's roles, then pass name=

[slate swan]

utils does the same thing-

!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.

[vale wing]

Maybe I should just try to provide params to data or to json param not to params

[slate swan]

is theyre a param that returns data in json?

some apis have this header

"Content-type": "application/json"

so it returns json

you cant use "WHERE" in inserts pretty sure

are you trying to update a row or insert a row?

[pliant gulch]

You cannot use WHERE clause with INSERT

You can however use it with UPDATE

Like, UPDATE users WHERE id = ...

[kindred epoch]

then its

("UPDATE table_name SET cloumn_name = $1 WHERE column_name = $2",i,o)
``` something like that

wait no

[neat pagoda]

not from a server

from a bot like

@client.command(pass_context=True)
@commands.check(check_Dev)
async def ban(ctx, banns): #command: bl!changeprefix ...
    
    with open('bans.json', 'r') as f:
      bans = json.load(f)

    bans[str(banns)] = banns
    with open('bans.json', 'w') as f: #writes the new ban into the .json
      
      json.dump(bans, f)
    await ctx.send(f"!!! Banned {banns}")      
   
@client.command()
@commands.check(check_Dev)
async def unban(ctx,banns):

  with open('bans.json', 'r') as f:
    prefixes = json.load(f)
    

  with open('bans.json', 'w') as f: 
    prefixes[str("unbanned")] = banns
    json.dump(prefixes, f)
  
  await ctx.channel.send(f'Unbanned {banns}')

where it'll log the ban to a data base

so they can't use the bot

[slate swan]

json isnt a db lol

[slate swan]

a black list?

[neat pagoda]

but, it works fine with the ban, not the unban

[neat pagoda]

yes

don't mind the id,

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

@check```
A decorator that adds a global check to the bot.

A global check is similar to a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every command the bot has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check"), this takes a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") and can only raise exceptions inherited from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError").

Example...

[slate swan]

Is it possible to make sure that after restarting the bot, the variables are not reset, but there was that value before the restart?

[slate swan]

nope

[slate swan]

Sqlite3

[slim ibex]

🗿

[slate swan]

🗿

[neat pagoda]

like

[slate swan]

yes its a database

[neat pagoda]

I neec oto have the unbanned

first, then the id

not vice versa, and not not at all

[slate swan]

And how to do so

[neat pagoda]

this is for an economy bot, that's why I need it

[slate swan]

https://sqlbolt.com/lesson/inserting_rows

[slate swan]

a database is the best thing

Ok

json isnt a database, it cant really store data

[slim ibex]

^

[neat pagoda]

I can ban

[slate swan]

https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/343944376055103488/822824159091884042

[neat pagoda]

but, I can't unban I don't why it don't work

[slate swan]

i recommend you use a database and then just use the global bot check

[slim ibex]

!d discord.Member.unban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.unban

[slate swan]

its a black list

[neat pagoda]

nono not that

[slim ibex]

oh

[slate swan]

lol

[neat pagoda]

yeah, thx anyways

[slate swan]

why is the slowmode so big 6s?

[neat pagoda]

lol idk

[slim ibex]

well he said unban 🗿

[slate swan]

yeah but he means to ban them like put them in the black list

[neat pagoda]

rn my friend Guigui (the id)

[slim ibex]

just say blacklist lol

[slate swan]

ikr

[neat pagoda]

cannot use the bot as an example

but, when U unban her, she still cannot, because the json is logging new data

when i invert it do it's

prefixes[str(banns)] = "Unbanned"

it works, but it won't log to the first one

is there any way to just get the "id" and nothing else?

[silent ermine]

for cogs is it recommended to have super().__init__

[final iron]

no one just was wondering

[manic wing]

w h a t

[final iron]

You don't need a super().__init__() in your cogs

Nor is it recommended

[silent ermine]

kk ty

[slim ibex]

allows you to refer to the parent class explicitly

[versed shell]

can someone help me figure out why I'm getting this error: Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "hello" is not found

[manic wing]

sort of

thats what super does

super().__init__() just calls the __init__ of the parent class

[slim ibex]

it calls the init method of the other class iirc

wait I just realized you were asking that guy if he knows what it is 💀

[silent ermine]

well try to read it, the command isnt found 💀

[slim ibex]

^

[versed shell]

it's there tho

[silent ermine]

show code

and if in cog did you load cog

[versed shell]

async def on_message(ctx, arg):
    if ctx.author == bot.user:
        return
        
    if ctx.content.startswith('hello'):
        await ctx.channel.send(arg)```

[final iron]

pain

[slim ibex]

bruh

[final iron]

on_message only takes message

[slim ibex]

holy fucking shit 💀

[final iron]

Wait

[versed shell]

rip

[manic wing]

i am

[final iron]

They made a command called on_message 🗿

[manic wing]

very confused

[versed shell]

so how should this look then

[slim ibex]

Lmao I saw that

[final iron]

This confused me a lot

[slim ibex]

probably learn Python first and then how to use dpy or whatever fork you are using

[final iron]

It's like a mix between making commands in an on_message event and using the commands extension

[slate swan]

in multiple inheritance its the same or you just call the initiate method lol

[slim ibex]

!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.

[slim ibex]

multiple inheritance 🗿

[slate swan]

discord.ext👁️ 👁️

[slate swan]

😩

[hoary cargo]

this is sensitive content

[versed shell]

is this right ```@bot.command()
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == bot.user:
return

if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
    await message.channel.send('i')```

[manic wing]

sort of

[versed shell]

what does that mean

because I still get the error

[final iron]

No

Just check this tutorial out:
https://vcokltfre.dev/

[hoary cargo]

on_message is an event

[slim ibex]

not a command 💀

[wicked atlas]

on_member_join

Well event's don't have context

[manic wing]

you dont call event

and there is no ctx

[wicked atlas]

You should only have the member parameter

[manic wing]

idk why people just chuck ctx everywhere

its not going to spawn out of nowhere

[wicked atlas]

you dont call event
and there is no ctx

No, you just don't call it

@client.event

[hoary cargo]

so you don't know python

[wicked atlas]

This is pretty basic programming stuff, ngl```py
@client.event() # calling it
@client.event # not calling it

Then why are you making discord bots

[hoary cargo]

[wicked atlas]

it's not really a beginner thing, there are many concepts that become super confusing unless you know at least an intermediate level of python

[hoary cargo]

you won't go too far without any basics in python

it's like you want to write in chinese just for fun but you have no knowledge about chinese alphabet

[pliant gulch]

There isn't even an alphabet in chinese

[final iron]

🗿

[rotund frigate]

i tried to make a command where if this author sends this embed
Image
it would say 'HEY ITS A RAT'
i want to identify it with the image url

[slate swan]

you cant log everything as said to you.

[tawdry plover]

Yeah, events.

[manic wing]

If you do, I will make you a Discord server in return.

[tawdry plover]

mhm.

[slim ibex]

!rule 9

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[manic wing]

i can make a server with the + icon

[slate swan]

bro its against tos

[tawdry plover]

Fair enough.

[tawdry plover]

You said events are allowed...

[slate swan]

yes but you cant save huge amounts of data in discord its agaisnts tod did you ever read my messages?

[tawdry plover]

Many bots have logging features.

[tawdry plover]

Yeah I did lmao

[slate swan]

yeah and the only reason is moderation which theyre verified bots

[tawdry plover]

I'm only going to log when messages are deleted, when a member leaves etc

[tawdry plover]

I know

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_message_delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message\_delete

discord.on_message_delete(message)```
Called when a message is deleted. If the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the [`max_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") parameter or use the [`on_raw_message_delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_delete "discord.on_raw_message_delete") event instead.

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

[tawdry plover]

Of what.

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

discord.on_member_join(member)``````py

discord.on_member_remove(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") leaves or joins a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

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

[slate swan]

ah remove

[wicked atlas]

It's as it says

Either do it outside the fstring, or use format

which is outside the fstring...

[manic wing]

you have the \n

[wicked atlas]

Yes you do, the newline character

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
f"{\n}"

[manic wing]

it is the issue

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

[pliant gulch]

Your join

[quaint epoch]

is this a bug? - i added soul music bot to my server, made sure that it can't see any messages except in the bots channel, so when i ran /play and joined a voice channel (that it was not suppsosed to see) it joined it somehow?

[pliant gulch]

which is in the f-string expression..

[kindred epoch]

ask it in their support server not here

[quaint epoch]

alr

[slate swan]

give it to your mom

as a mothersday gift

i think ash is asleep lol

[manic wing]

its only 11

[slate swan]

yeah🐒

yeah dont

self bots lol

[manic wing]

nitro is way too overpriced

[slate swan]

yeah classic should be 2$

wow

thats allot

[manic wing]

defo fake

[hazy scaffold]

wait its real

[slate swan]

[manic wing]

nothing is ever free

and it if is free, it shouldnt be.

[slate swan]

especially when it costs a few bucks for each

[hazy scaffold]

are you saying this dude made a deal with the devil to get discord nitro

[slate swan]

no but its kinda off dont you think?

[hazy scaffold]

well yeah-
but its legit?

[slate swan]

credit card theft

[manic wing]

just means its a scam and illegitimate

[hazy scaffold]

🤷‍♂️

;-;
||gimme nitro||

[slate swan]

thats nice saw his badge get added lol

[kindred epoch]

if that server exists why not just join and win one

[slate swan]

i didnt say youre a liar

[manic wing]

i think giving away scam nitro is probably against the tos of this server

reptile

where do you think they got the nitro from?

🤦

[slate swan]

🚔

[hazy scaffold]

how was that real

didnt remember

[kindred epoch]

dont use flashy emojis lul, its a rule in the server

[slate swan]

i saw the badge get added lol

[manic wing]

okimii wants that nitro now

[slate swan]

nah i want my prepaid Visa card to go through

cuz it wont go through and i cant get it since discord doesnt accept that method of payment😔

[hazy scaffold]

[slate swan]

kinda dumb imo

[manic wing]

discord out here ripping off naive kids

[slate swan]

lol i just want it because of the 100mb upload limit

since the defualt is 8

i hate it its so tiny

[manic wing]

you're paying $100 a year to be able to upload a larger file once in a blue moon

great investment

[slate swan]

how do i get the bot to see if the embed has a certain image url link, send ricky rat boy

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[rotund frigate]

what is that?

[slate swan]

and embed is a string

[slim ibex]

make code blocks

[manic wing]

there is no on_embed event, instead you would have to make an on_message event, check for embeds, convert it to json using to_json method and check is the url is in the image

[rotund frigate]

could you help give me an example? i havent done to much research on json yet

[final iron]

Why do people just assume random events exist

[slate swan]

json is used to format data

basically

[silent ermine]

So i have a leveling module and I want a disable/enable command. I was able to put a new column thats called leveling_is_active but when I enable it it keeps saying that it isnt enabled.

Here is my code and there is no error message py @commands.command() async def rank(self, ctx, user:nextcord.User=None): db = sqlite3.connect('main.sqlite') cursor = db.cursor() cursor.execute(f"SELECT leveling_is_active FROM levels WHERE guild_id = '{ctx.guild.id}'") result1 = cursor.fetchone() if result1 == 1: if user is not None: db = sqlite3.connect('main.sqlite') cursor = db.cursor() cursor.execute(f"SELECT user_id, exp, lvl FROM levels WHERE guild_id = '{ctx.message.guild.id}' AND user_id = '{user.id}'") result = cursor.fetchone() if result is None: await ctx.send("That user is not yet ranked!") else: await ctx.send(f'{user.name} is currently level `{str(result[2])}` and has `{str(result[1])}` XP!') cursor.close() db.close() elif user is None: db = sqlite3.connect('main.sqlite') cursor = db.cursor() cursor.execute(f"SELECT user_id, exp, lvl FROM levels WHERE guild_id = '{ctx.message.guild.id}' AND user_id = '{ctx.message.author.id}'") result = cursor.fetchone() if result is None: await ctx.send("That user is not yet ranked!") else: await ctx.send(f'{ctx.message.author.name} is currently level `{str(result[2])}` and has `{str(result[1])}` XP!') cursor.close() db.close() else: return await ctx.reply("Leveling is not enabled.")
0 = False
1 = True

[slate swan]

yes False is 0 and True is 1

[silent ermine]

yes just for info

flabber gasted

[final iron]

Don't connect to the database each time you make a command
2.
sqlite3 is blocking, use aiosqlite instead

!pypi aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.17.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[silent ermine]

well 1 the code used to work before without the leveling_is_enabled so i think its fine

2. so replace sqlite3 with aiosqlite?

[final iron]

That's not the point

[slate swan]

why are you connecting many times?

[silent ermine]

tbh i dont know ill fix it

[final iron]

aiosqlite is async so you'll need to add awaits appropriately

[slate swan]

and follow pep8🐒

[silent ermine]

so then it would be await cursor.execute(f"SELECT leveling_is_active FROM levels WHERE guild_id = '{ctx.guild.id}'")

[slim ibex]

!sql-fstrings

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings
Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also
• Extended Example with SQLite (search for "Instead, use the DB-API's parameter substitution")
• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

[slate swan]

and you can do

if not result:

over

if result is None:

[final iron]

Yes

[silent ermine]

oh yea i do that

[kindred epoch]

f-strings in sql queries are really bad, use placeholders instead.

[silent ermine]

ok

[silent ermine]

alright so move to aiosqlite and dont use f strings in queries

got it

[slate swan]

youre ok because youre not getting user input so sql injection is not possible but its good practice

[final iron]

And don't connect to your database in each command

[silent ermine]

so make this global?

instead of in a command?

[final iron]

No

[slate swan]

yes with bot variables

[final iron]

!bot-var

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

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

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[final iron]

Use this

[silent ermine]

but then wont it not update if a user gains a level

[final iron]

No

[slate swan]

its a global variable bound to your bot obj

[silent ermine]

ok

[slate swan]

btw your about me is wrong

html isnt a programming language

[silent ermine]

i consider it as one but idc

[left crater]

then what is it

[manic wing]

iTs A MaRkUp LAnGuAGeE

[slate swan]

hypertext markup language

[left crater]

i know that

[slate swan]

?

[silent ermine]

o-o you can code in html toopid
you can use js in it

[left crater]

but if it doesn't count as a programming language then what is it

[pliant gulch]

It’s got language in the name kek

How is html not a programming language

**What feature would you be the most interested in making?**

Suggest more topics here!

[slate swan]

more topics for this bot

[silent ermine]

on a command, after (under it) @client.command() or @commands.command()
@commands.has_permissions(permission here)
so if you wanted admin perm
@commands.has_permissions(Administrator=True)

[manic wing]

administrator

[tacit storm]

or

if you want one to check if the bot has perms

[manic wing]

not exactly

[pliant gulch]

It would be easier just to check view_audit_log of Member.guild_permissions

Checking if this is either True or False

[silent ermine]

oops

[tawdry plover]

:O

[silent ermine]

what?

[tawdry plover]

?

[silent ermine]

why suprise

[manic wing]

its the magical time

00:00

[tawdry plover]

Wdym

[pliant gulch]

I guess it depends on the channel, cause guild_permissions as the name suggests, would be guild wild

[silent ermine]

nice

coding is annoying when you have to rewrite the code

[silent ermine]

so everywhere with sqlite will have to be replaced with await

[final iron]

Not everywhere

await import aiosqlite

🗿

[slate swan]

depends on the method

most methods are coroutines yes

[rotund frigate]

if (message.author.id == '77432345678') {
message.embeds.forEach(function(e) {
console.log(e);
if (e.title && e.title.startsWith('New Meme Post')) {
message.channel.send('thats a meme lol}');
}
});
}
i saw this and i wanted to do something like it but instead of the title i want the image url

[manic wing]

uh

[slate swan]

why is their js

[silent ermine]

bro why await import aiosqlite

why not just put it at the top

[slate swan]

hes joking lol

[silent ermine]

buddy go to discord.gg/djs
this is a python server

[slate swan]

and the if statement will always be False

youre comparing an int to a str

[rotund frigate]

wait thats js?

[slate swan]

javascript

[manic wing]

💀

[rotund frigate]

0-o

[manic wing]

we dont use {}

[rotund frigate]

no i cant go back to it, i swore not to

[slate swan]

you have

console.log

[rotund frigate]

please can it be converted to python?????

[manic wing]

no.

[rotund frigate]

WHYYY!Y!!!!!

[manic wing]

we dont convert code, we assist not do it for you

[lyric tusk]

how can i remove the 00:07;34.... i am using datetime

[rotund frigate]

but can it be done?

[slate swan]

pov: caeden doesnt know js

[manic wing]

pov: i know every language on earth

[slate swan]

how do i fix this?

[rotund frigate]

error?

[slate swan]

even the love language 😳

[manic wing]

js is basically python but they ripped off our syntax

[manic wing]

ashley loves me

[slate swan]

its tellin me weird shit

[slate swan]

who doesnt😏

[manic wing]

;)

[slate swan]

no need for the pass_context kwarg and bro you forgot a colon its a loop its basic python.

yea just realized always happen after i ask

[slate swan]

;))

[slate swan]

happens lol

discord.ext.commands.errors.BadArgument: Converting to "int" failed for parameter "minutes".

oof

[slate swan]

type hint min to an int

min: int = 1

[silent ermine]

still wont work

[slate swan]

how?

[silent ermine]

no matter what even if i change it to 1 , it just says disabled

[tacit storm]

are you new to python?

you’re missing an “:”

[slate swan]

show

[slate swan]

a colon

[slate swan]

no i just had a brain fart lol i realzied i was missing ":" after

[tacit storm]

ah

[slate swan]

how would i make it so after they click the button the button is then disabled using discord.py

[native wedge]

how do i change bot status when it loads

[tacit storm]

!d change_presence

[unkempt canyon]

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

welp there you go

[slate swan]

bro in your bot file you make the bot var

[silent ermine]

im too lazy to do that but it normally works

e

[slate swan]

connecting to a db in each if statement in a command seems inefficient dont you think?

[silent ermine]

eh as long as it works its fine

[slate swan]

yeah no

[silent ermine]

it works normally

[slate swan]

doesnt matter its bad practice

and inefficient

[silent ermine]

what ever

[slate swan]

im just saying bad practice isnt good

[silent ermine]

im just saying that it works

[slate swan]

good for you things can work but it doesn't mean it can get better

[silent ermine]

yes yes yes what ever

[slate swan]

im just suggesting you it if you dont follow it not really my problem but im doing it so you dont end up with bad habits.

[silent ermine]

yes i know

[slate swan]

its for your sake after all

[final iron]

Just because it works doesn't mean it's fine

[silent ermine]

jesus OK

[final iron]

Opening the database everytime you need to access it is terribly inefficient

[slate swan]

how do i fix this break? error saying "break can be used only within a loop"

after i was told to add int = 1

[slate swan]

could you show a example i'm kind of confused lol

check their repo on github

[slate swan]

only member has that attr

[uncut zephyr]

Yeah I know, But my bot has no contact with other bots

[slate swan]

what?

[uncut zephyr]

Can you name an example of how this could get triggert?

[rotund frigate]

How do i detect if an embed message has the title "a new meme appeared"

[slate swan]

could you send the link

[slate swan]

its an attr error

[sick birch]

message.embeds -> List[discord.Embeds]

[uncut zephyr]

attr= attribute?

I mean, does it get triggert if a bot writes a message and my bot tries to read it?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples%2Fviews

[slate swan]

im not sure idk what the code does but its just an attr error lol

[sick birch]

I was the last contributor in that folder 😦

[slate swan]

yeah ik😔

[uncut zephyr]

its "just" an attr error means? I should ignore it?
Idk I want to know where it comes from.

[slate swan]

bro

[uncut zephyr]

bro just respond normal xD

[slate swan]

its basic oop the User class doesnt have that attribute

[rotund frigate]

so like this? if message.embeds -> List[.title == new meme!] await message.channel.send('thats funny')

[uncut zephyr]

yes user has no attr "roles" course bots are "user". I get this... But this is not my question

[sick birch]

What is your question?

[slate swan]

bro no

[sick birch]

Oh no, the -> was just me saying the type of message.embeds, sorry if that was unclear

[slate swan]

Robin was juat saying what the attr returns

[sick birch]

for embed in messsage.embeds:
  # loops through each embed in a given message

[slate swan]

what would i have to install to fix ImportError: cannot import name 'Embed' from 'discord.embeds' (/home/runner/rewardbot/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/embeds.py)

[silent ermine]

instead of break use return

[uncut zephyr]

How this gets triggert and maybe how I can avoid this error.
And with "how" I mean, exactly what must happen.

(in case you asked me Robin)

[final iron]

A user object doesn't have a roles attribute

[slate swan]

break is for breaking loops return is used to return methods

[final iron]

Quite simple

[sick birch]

"a new meme appeared" in map(lambda emb: emb.title, message.embeds)

^ something like this would work

[sick birch]

You're probably using .roles on an instance of discord.User, and normal discord users don't have a role property to them. discord.Members, on the other hand do, since they are part of a guild and can have roles

[rotund frigate]

like this?

if "a new meme appeared" in map(lambda emb: emb.title, message.embeds):
await message.channel.send('thats funny')

[sick birch]

sure that would work

[rotund frigate]

what is lambda btw

[sick birch]

Though I would suggest try to understand what it does instead of copy-pasting it

[sick birch]

One line function, map() goes through each item in the list, and runs lambda on it

[slate swan]

ImportError: cannot import name 'Embed' from 'discord.embeds' (/home/runner/rewardbot/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/embeds.py)

could anyone help i'm so confused i'm using replit.com rn

[pliant gulch]

functions can be one line as well

[rotund frigate]

omg same i use repl.it

[pliant gulch]

lambdas are just anonymous functions

[slate swan]

i had to do kill 1 cuz i was rate limited for some reason and now when i run again i think my import libraries are all gone

[sick birch]

!e

x = [1, 2, 3, 5]
print(list(map(lambda x: x*2, x)))

[unkempt canyon]

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

[2, 4, 6, 10]

[sick birch]

hopefully that helps you understand

both map + lambda since often they are used together

[slate swan]

!e

print(list(map(str, [n for n in range(101)])))

i.e

[tacit storm]

DO NOT use replit.

[unkempt canyon]

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

[slate swan]

that's the only free host..

lol

[tacit storm]

read.

[uncut zephyr]

Okay thanks I will have a look at my code.

But why does this error gets triggert so random and even if no message was send on the Server?

[sick birch]

#discord-bots message < on replit

[sick birch]

🤔 Can we see the code?

[tacit storm]

@slate swan

[rotund frigate]

why? im on a school chromebook and i cant do anything else 😦

[tacit storm]

read the screenshot i sent above.

[silent ermine]

why not

[tacit storm]

ill dumb it down, replit is by far the worst host and is even worse for discord bots

[sick birch]

AWS provides a free tier, so does Google iirc

[tacit storm]

oh my god, read the screenshot i sent here @rotund frigate @silent ermine

[sick birch]

And those guys are used everywhere, very reliable and have a wide variety of tools for you in the future

[tacit storm]

^^

[silent ermine]

i just read it

[uncut zephyr]

its line 859. I hope this helps.

[sick birch]

700 free hours of t2.micro instances per month for a full year

[tacit storm]

using replit for your bot is basically shooting your bot in the head

[uncut zephyr]

and ignore the first part haha xD

[brave vessel]

I think they're trying to say don't use repl.it to host your bots, it would be fine if you coded in it I suppose because it's not a horrible IDE but it's not a great host

[sick birch]

Can you copy paste the code here? It's difficult to see that

[uncut zephyr]

yeah sure

[sick birch]

Unfortunately I think many people think replit is a good free host, I can't see people using it as just an IDE when there are far better alternatives such as Pycharm or vscode

[uncut zephyr]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.bot or client.emergency == True:
        if client.emergency == False and client.guess >=0 and client.mchannel == message.channel and len(message.content.split()) == 5:
            client.remove.append(message.id)
        elif client.emergency == False and client.guess >= 0 and client.mchannel == message.channel and message.author.bot and len(message.content.split()) != 5:
            client.remove.append(message.id)
        elif discord.utils.get(message.guild.roles, name=client.rolename) in message.author.roles and message.content ==(str(client.command_prefix) + "stopemergency"and client.mchannel == message.channel):
            await client.process_commands(message)

[tacit storm]

yeye, they’ve upgraded their IDE to a better one lately,

[sick birch]

"good free host" is a bit of an oxymoron

[rotund frigate]

aws is it free and online(no download)

[uncut zephyr]

ahhh looks bad

[sick birch]

yes, free & online

[brave vessel]

People use it as an IDE when they have no other options, like if they use a school chromebook or something at least from my experience

I agree though, not a great host

[tacit storm]

also, dont use heroku either, jsyk

[sick birch]

that's just as bad yeah

[brave vessel]

.topic

[lament depot]

**What unique features does your bot contain, if any?**

Suggest more topics here!

[uncut zephyr]

Yeah these lines are so long 😂 🙈

[brave vessel]

hm, pretty much all of them are unique because I made my bot for a specific purpose

[sick birch]

What exactly are you trying to do here?

[tacit storm]

most unique by far is my bot logging videos and images without discord deleting it off of their database

like 0.1 of all logging bots log videos as far as i know which makes if special as is

[final iron]

Pretty that breaks the developer tos

[manic wing]

what specific purpose?

[tacit storm]

well all it does is download the video/photo at it core.

any bot that does image logging does that

[final iron]

Yeah that 100% breaks tos

[pliant gulch]

inb4 bot downloads copyrighted material

[tacit storm]

ah

[pliant gulch]

Logging is kinda scummy anyways imo

[brave vessel]

so i do student council, and i made a bot to organize things like meetings and events and what not, so it could be organized rather than manually counting it

[untold anchor]

Ok so I made a giveaway command but I was wondering how to make it first of all so if no one wins the bot sends a msg saying like No one has won the giveaway plus so it doesn't send a error in console,
how to make it so the bot can't win

[manic wing]

what does inb4 mean?

[pliant gulch]

And downloading all this stuff just means extra bandwith being used

[final iron]

In before

[sick birch]

in before

[manic wing]

thought so but didnt work in that context

[tacit storm]

the bandwith on my vps is relatively good and it doesn’t take up much at all.

[manic wing]

nice

[sick birch]

"No one wins," so 0 reactions on the message/no one entered the giveaway?

[native wedge]

is it safe to do Bot.change_presence during on_ready?

[sick birch]

No

[tacit storm]

no

[final iron]

Does it not break the user privacy part of the tos?

[pliant gulch]

And what happens if someone sent and deleted a zip bomb or something

[native wedge]

how would i do it then ?

[tacit storm]

if that was the case, any bot that doesn’t that should be deleted, including dyno.

[rotund frigate]

hey what does it mean 12 months free?

[untold anchor]

@sick birch yeah

[sick birch]

You get 700 hours/month for the first 12 months

[rotund frigate]

12 months and all my work is reset?????

[tacit storm]

it doesn’t log exe’s or zip files 💀

[untold anchor]

So like if no one enters aka no one wins how to do I make it send a msg instead of sending a error in console

[sick birch]

No, you have to start paying afterwards

[rotund frigate]

so its not free?

[pliant gulch]

Ok yea that makes sense

[sick birch]

But there's no "work" to be reset, assuming you're using EC2 it's just a virtual computer on Amazon's network

[final iron]

Are your users aware that you're downloading all their content?

[sick birch]

You will either have to pay to keep using their servers or find a different host

[rotund frigate]

like uptime robot?

[tacit storm]

it’s downloading deleted videos and photos, it also deletes it after from the system.

it downloads it for like a brief second and gets rid of it

[final iron]

So I'm going to assume no

[sick birch]

No, it's a completely different computer on their networks you can do anything with

Which is what hosting is anyway

They also have other services for free, such as free 5G of S3 data, more here: https://aws.amazon.com/free/?all-free-tier.sort-by=item.additionalFields.SortRank&all-free-tier.sort-order=asc&awsf.Free Tier Types=*all&awsf.Free Tier Categories=*all

[tacit storm]

im honestly just done with you at this point

[final iron]

So you are breaking tos

[pliant gulch]

Probably doesn't matter, GDPR doesn't cover chat messages

[native wedge]

how do i do change_presence automatically but not on_ready

[uncut zephyr]

good question tbh.

the second "if" adds the current message to a list -> This message will be deleted after the game ends.

3 if (elif):
same, just with some little extras

4 if (elif) (the error line)
If someone wants to stop the Bot, he (if he s an admin) can type this "stop..." stuff. Then the Bot will skip the "on_message" code below

So the first "if" statements are like always False when the error gets triggert. So they are not important.
And the "if" statement on line 859 checks, if the person has an admin role, if someone writes "stopemerg...." and the last part is useless lol. Its hard to explain tbh.
I can understand if you cant help me with this one, in connection with this answer 🙈

[sick birch]

bot = commands.Bot(..., activity=..., ...)

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, **options)```
Represents a discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

[pliant gulch]

Probably not

[native wedge]

1 last thing, can i make it into a list, change it every like 30 seconds random choice ? if so how

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

[tacit storm]

no, if it was the case, bots like dyno or mee6 would be gone already.

[pliant gulch]

mee6 should be deleted anyways

[tacit storm]

true

[sick birch]

from discord.ext import tasks, commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):

        self.presence_updater.start()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=30.0)
    async def presence_updater(self):
        # change presence here

[lost lichen]

How can i make it so that it doesnt time out even tho it works, make the bot react to the embed with the emojis (so that users can easily react) and make it so only one emoji can be reacted to so that it doesnt accept other inputs? and how can i make it only "listen" to the user who executed the command?

[uncut zephyr]

@sick birch I think I will just delete this lines, they are even pointless, but would be still cool to know why this error occurs.

But in general this question is done, thanks

[pliant gulch]

Looks weird, never seen bot path before and I've done a lot of stuff with DAPI, an in any other case discord uses /science endpoints for metrics

[untold anchor]

@sick birch

[sick birch]

Yes?

[untold anchor]

So with the giveaway command I only need help with 2 things

1. How do I make it so the bot doesn't win and if the bot picks itself it rerolls and picks a actual user
2. How do I make it so if no one enters it doesn't send a error in console saying the giveaway winner list was empty

[sick birch]

To clarify, you are using reactions, yes?

[untold anchor]

yeah

You react to the bots msg to enter the giveaway

[sick birch]

1. message.reactions[1:] since I believe the bot is always the first in that list
2. if len(message.reactions) == 1 since the bot will be the only participant, then send a message saying no one entered the giveaway

[lost lichen]

How can i make my reaction roles only listen to the command executor? currently it accepts any user..

list_of_emojis = ['🔴','🟡','🟢']

def check(reaction):
    if reaction.emoji not in list_of_emojis:
        return

    elif reaction.emoji == "🟢":
        print('green')
        return
        

    elif reaction.emoji == "🟡":
        print('yellow')
        return
        

    elif reaction.emoji == "🔴":
        print('red')
        return
        


try:
    await ctx.bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=15.0, check=check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
    print('timed out')
else:
    await ctx.send('API Call sent!')

[untold anchor]

How would I type that code into the actual main.py file

or well how would I enter it

[sick birch]

Include that in your check, if reaction.user == ctx.author

[untold anchor]

if len(users) == 0:
await ctx.send("No winner was decided")

[lost lichen]

so if reaction.user == ctx.author and reaction.emoji not in list_of_emojis:?

[sick birch]

# the user who wins the giveaway
winner = random.choice(message.reactions[1:]

if len(message.reactions) == 1:
  await ctx.send("No winner was decided")

[untold anchor]

that is what I have that makes the bot send a msg if no users enter

[sick birch]

That is correct

[untold anchor]

So those 3 lines of code should make it so 1. the bot can't win and 2. if no one enters no error is sent in console

I removed the : from the 1 because I got a syntax error in console

[sick birch]

Yes

[untold anchor]

await ctx.send("No winner was decided") 
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

the ^ is below the a in await

though I don't see anything wrong with await ctx.send("No winner was decided")

[sick birch]

What's around it?

Sometimes other lines can cause that issue

[untold anchor]

um

[subtle kindle]

Guys

[untold anchor]

do you care if I dm you a picture of all the code around it

[subtle kindle]

how do I learn discord bot coding

[untold anchor]

cause the picture also has other tabs I have open in it

[final iron]

!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.

[sick birch]

Just copy paste the 4 or 5 lines around it

[slim ibex]

Learn Python first

[subtle kindle]

Ik quite a bit of python

[untold anchor]

users = await new_gaw_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten()
users.pop(users.index(client.user))

winner = random.choice(message.reactions[1:]

if len(message.reactions) == 1
await ctx.send("No winner was decided")

await ctx.send(f"Congratulations {winner.mention}! Yuo have won the giveaway for **{prize}**!")

[slate swan]

learn basic python then oop than async programming and then you can go for dpy

[sick birch]

You need the colon :

[untold anchor]

where

[subtle kindle]

what's dp

[untold anchor]

when I put 1: it said syntax error

[slate swan]

discord.py its a popular discord api wrapper

how i fix this?

[slate swan]

hover over it

[subtle kindle]

what is an api ?

[untold anchor]

@sick birch I removed the : there because it gave me a syntax error

now it's giving me a syntax error for the code directly below that

[sick birch]

Well : is important

[slate swan]

Application Programming Interface

[subtle kindle]

which does what?

[sick birch]

If it's giving you an error directly below that it might be your indentation

[untold anchor]

Is there anything i could put around the 1 so it doesn't give a error

[slate swan]

i cant really explain as its a huge topic and youre a beginner it will be quite hard

[sick birch]

users = await new_gaw_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten()
users.pop(users.index(client.user))

winner = random.choice(message.reactions[1:]

if len(message.reactions) == 1:
  await ctx.send("No winner was decided") 

  await ctx.send(f"Congratulations {winner.mention}! Yuo have won the giveaway for {prize}!")

is this how your code looks like?

[slate swan]

bro what

it wasnt closed

[untold anchor]

@sick birch the way you had it before

[slate swan]

then close it?

[subtle kindle]

which one should I look into

[untold anchor]

with the code above if len indentended to the right

[slate swan]

..

[slate swan]

the recourses page?

[subtle kindle]

I mean in here

[slate swan]

[untold anchor]

yeah whenver I add a : next to the 1 it gives me a syntax error

[sick birch]

It's most likely your indents then

[untold anchor]

I put a : next to the 1 and it gave me a syntax error

[sick birch]

Send a picture this time, instead of a code block

[subtle kindle]

nice dude

[untold anchor]

@subtle kindle ?\

[subtle kindle]

I mean nice that you can code python

[untold anchor]

Half of this is from tutorials and the other half is primarly me learning how to code

[sick birch]

I'm not seeing any squiggly lines? Unless your IDE or whatever that is doesn't show it

[subtle kindle]

still

[untold anchor]

@sick birch wym

squiggly lines?

[sick birch]

IDEs usually show squiggly lines underneath where exactly the error happens

[slate swan]

!e print(len("i hate you!")

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 |   File "<string>", line 1
002 |     print(len("i hate you!")
003 |          ^
004 | SyntaxError: '(' was never closed

[slate swan]

figured it out though

[slate swan]

Python has basic syntax so it is a very easy language to learn but don't let it fool you

[untold anchor]

I don't think that shows it

[sick birch]

just like this for example

[untold anchor]

I have my code viewer thing set tto Python

[slate swan]

() should always be paired

[subtle kindle]

It's very sensitive to spaces too right

[sick birch]

Right

[slate swan]

depends

[untold anchor]

@sick birch do you see anything wrong with that code?

[sick birch]

Delete the code and try to write it yourself without copy/pasting, that sometimes fixes it since whitespaces from copy pastes can get messed up

[slate swan]

got me

[untold anchor]

Would me using nextcord mess up that code

[slate swan]

pardon?

[slate swan]

no no its just pythons syntax

[subtle kindle]

okimii

[sick birch]

No

[slate swan]

hi

[subtle kindle]

If you have been learning python for 4 months should you be good at it?

[slate swan]

depends

[sick birch]

Depends on the person

[subtle kindle]

depends on me lol

[slate swan]

depends on your learning speed passion time etc

[subtle kindle]

I'm not a quick learner

[sick birch]

Took me ~2 years to actually get decent at it and have the confidence in my skills to put it to good use

[slate swan]

took me about 7 months

im a fast learner btw

[subtle kindle]

and what were u like making

what programs

so I can know what level you were on I guess

[slate swan]

mostly bots that use apis

[sick birch]

What do you expect in this channel

[slate swan]

i dont do them anymore tho

[sick birch]

this is like the 4th time, this channel is not made for off topic stuff.

[slate swan]

dont say it to me only👁️ 👁️

are there any benefits of using the raw discord api in python?

[final iron]

It's a bit faster

But not worth the headache

[slate swan]

Yeah that's what i've noticed it's alot faster

my bot which is 150 servers uses raw api for some stuff cause it's faster

[slate swan]

idk using the raw api seems sus

Yeah I know, it feels odd

and youll have to make endpoints manually which is allot

Yeah was a pain in the head

[slate swan]

no i mean some people use the raw api for nuke bots

[slate swan]

Yeah actually that's what i found out recently, cause it's like alot faster and apparently bypasses the rate limit

[slate swan]

and not wrappers because wrappers dont have those methods

[slate swan]

yes the wrapper handles ratelimits but it makes you more vulnerable to getting ratelimited

Thanks for Letting me know, cheers

[slate swan]

Youre very welcome

[winged crane]

how can I use a loop to make my bot repeat the result until it gets the desired reply? for example: a random number generator, how could i make it generate a number until the the number 78 is selected

[kindred epoch]

make the loop see if the number it generated is the number you selected

[winged crane]

yes, but how....

[kindred epoch]

if statements?

[winged crane]

No?

[kindred epoch]

huh?

[winged crane]

how would I make the process repeat with a if statement.

@slate swan , hey, so I used interaction.followup.send() and I get a unknown webhook error

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/raw/awunuwakec

[kindred epoch]

basic python?

while True:
    if 87 == 87:
        await ctx.send("matched")
    else:
        pass

[pliant gulch]

while random.randint(0, 78) != 78:
    ... # do stuff

print("finished")
```would probably be better

The loop ends and calls print after random.randint returns 78
