I totally won't troll

[sick birch]

ill take anything

im bored out of my mind

[maiden fable]

Why this code no work ;-;

[sick birch]

why though

[slow fog]

youre sus

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[maiden fable]

Idk why it doesn't work

[sick birch]

it's cursed

now just use OCR on it 😉

[maiden fable]

Lmao

oh 🤣

[sick birch]

ah yes historical significance

people being serious in the answers like

Rip

[dull terrace]

can't tell if this is the dumbest way to do this or the best

[sick birch]

f strings in sql queries

careful as you're opening yourself up to SQL injection attacks

[dull terrace]

uhuh, you literally can't use placeholders for columns and table names

also there's a thing i read that placeholders haven't been implemented for those because it's not a concern but

[alpine furnace]

? Is the placeholder

[maiden fable]

Hmmm

[dull terrace]

for column and table names

[alpine furnace]

Oh no, wait

This is often a code smell

Hardcode it

Make an array with the unprepared queries somewhere

[dull terrace]

none of it is even user input

[alpine furnace]

Or use a query builder

Yeah, all the more reason to

[dull terrace]

so you want me to do this instead?

[alpine furnace]

Yeah

[vast gale]

yeah i agree

use str.format(), its a lot safer

/s this is not advice

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[manic wing]

“you just do UPDATE ? SET ? WHERE id = ?”, (table, column_items, id)

[dull terrace]

noo

doesn't work

sqlite3

[manic wing]

it works, youre just doing it wrong

also use aiosqlite

[manic wing]

just use aiosqlite which i know it works fir

and discord bots should use asynchronous wrappers

[vocal snow]

Olie is correct; placeholders can only be used for values

[manic wing]

not in aiosqlite

[nimble plume]

#databases ?

[vocal snow]

no, it's not different for different DBMSs @manic wing

[alpine furnace]

Might be, but they’re in fact using the same dbms 🤔 seems like aiosqlite has a query builder

[nimble plume]

Use #databases or im calling mods

[alpine furnace]

Cope

[vocal snow]

the wrapper doesn't handle the sanitization though. And aiosqlite just runs sqlite3 in a different thread and provides an asyncio interface

[alpine furnace]

That doesn’t change what I said

[vocal snow]

aiosqlite has a query builder
not sure what you mean by this

[alpine furnace]

If this is the case, it may as well, who knows

[nimble plume]

They are talking about db in discord bots

[visual island]

just use !ot tag

[nimble plume]

I said them

[visual island]

don't ping mods just for that

[alpine furnace]

@manic wing 🤷‍♂️

[nimble plume]

.

[nimble plume]

Now if i delete its a ghost ping

[alpine furnace]

Just trying to come up with an explanation for what he said, but I don’t know if that’s entirely true again

[vocal snow]

👍

[frosty creek]

discord bots, data base, both db, i see no issue here

[alpine furnace]

Lol

[blissful lagoon]

databases are sometimes relevant to discord bots

[maiden fable]

istg sometimes this channel is dead and sometimes active as hell

[nimble plume]

When i talk one time a guy told me like that

[blissful lagoon]

if you're tlkaing about databases without the context of discord bots, please use #databases

[vocal snow]

how is this Dyno ka bhai even allowed in this server, istg discord is for 13+

[nimble plume]

This guy

[blissful lagoon]

please remain respectful of other community members

[nimble plume]

Ye i just ignore these people

[slate swan]

ignore the truth

[nimble plume]

Pinggggggsssss

[nimble plume]

🥲

[vocal snow]

seems like you forgot to ignore me when I was talking about databases? Or is your ignorance selective? Does it trigger every 5 minutes?

[nimble plume]

Like u are allowed here

[nimble plume]

Ok u want controversy

just kidding, dont take it to heart

[maiden fable]

Remove the () from discord.Member

[slate swan]

ok

[nimble plume]

Ok

[dull terrace]

are people still angry about databases in here

😤 sorry i mentioned

[nimble plume]

My heart has no API

[slate swan]

......

[maiden fable]

Eh it's fine, it is common in this channel

[nimble plume]

return exams if date == 3

lmao

[nimble plume]

Doubt @maiden fable

[maiden fable]

?

[slate swan]

@maiden fable @maiden fable

[maiden fable]

If it's about my name, then ping me in an OT

[nimble plume]

Huh?

Code

Import erro mainly

[visual island]

Cog is a module

[slate swan]

typeerror

rip my phone, my mes

[nimble plume]

cog.help

[stiff nexus]

ik that bruh

[slate swan]

lol

[visual island]

i guess you mean commands.Cog?

[nimble plume]

He know but he come here for?

Time pass

[slate swan]

imagine importing cogs manually

[nimble plume]

cant imagine

[maiden fable]

Uhhh, nvm

[nimble plume]

😂

[maiden fable]

Was gonna say something but nvm

[nimble plume]

Say

[maiden fable]

Nah, was just thinking out loud

[nimble plume]

If u acuttaly dont wanaa say u wont msg this

[slate swan]

@commands.command()
    async def brps(self, ctx, member):
        try:
            member: discord.Member
            print("ok")
        except:
            print("sad")```

its always triggering the try part

[nimble plume]

name copy

[warm plover]

Imagine using cogs

[warm plover]

Pretty sure you don't need ctx

[nimble plume]

Maybe put it directly

[maiden fable]

But it's a required arg

[nimble plume]

Ye

[slate swan]

😕

[nimble plume]

Unless u are using events

[maiden fable]

It's a command since it has a command deco

[slate swan]

imaginw not using them

[nimble plume]

Imagine nothing

[slate swan]

uhm how to fix it

[slate swan]

use isinstance function to check that

[maiden fable]

The best thing is to make a custom Command class

[nimble plume]

Do u copy the code from somewhere

[slate swan]

yeps

i wanna trigger 1 block if a member is mentioned and another block if member isnt mentioned

[slate swan]

um no

[nimble plume]

Ok

[maiden fable]

And using on_message to manually implement the command system 👀

[slate swan]

how do i do this without error handler

[nimble plume]

Not from pc cant help

[slate swan]

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

What

[slate swan]

how do i do this

[maiden fable]

U gotta use ctx.message and check for mentions

!d discord.Message.mentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.mentions

A list of Member that were mentioned. If the message is in a private message then the list will be of User instead. For messages that are not of type MessageType.default, this array can be used to aid in system messages. For more information, see system_content.

Warning

The order of the mentions list is not in any particular order so you should not rely on it. This is a Discord limitation, not one with the library.

[slate swan]

uh tht works for replies too

[slate swan]

i don't wanna trigger for reply pings

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.reference

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reference

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

New in version 1.5.

[slate swan]

uhm ok

[slate swan]

well i found an easier solution

[maiden fable]

Eh it's easy to implement if u know basic Python

[maiden fable]

Hm?

[slate swan]

make member = None in default value in args, ez

then we can do if member = None:

[slate swan]

async def foo(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, member2: discord.Member=None):
  if member2 is None:
    return await ctx.reply("uwu")

[maiden fable]

if not member2:
    return await ctx.reply("You didn't mention a member") 

[slate swan]

what a difference

[maiden fable]

if member2 is None and if not member2 are two different things

[slate swan]

eskplain

[maiden fable]

What

[slate swan]

tell whats the difference

[maiden fable]

Syntax difference and it also looks nicer

[slate swan]

does the same thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[maiden fable]

Iirc the second one is faster, tho I don't really remember

[maiden fable]

Someone ask a question 🥺

(Proper questions, no trolling)

[boreal ravine]

should I use disco?

[maiden fable]

?

[boreal ravine]

I've been using it for a while now (3 years to be exact) and it doesn't support any of the new features discord released 😢

[maiden fable]

What's disco tho

[slate swan]

https://pypi.org/project/disco/ ? this

[maiden fable]

Ig? Who knows

[boreal ravine]

https://github.com/b1naryth1ef/disco/

[maiden fable]

Cool

[modest plover]

How do I get the huge "add to server" button?

[visual island]

How to get the Add to server button to your bot's profile:

• Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and select your bot.
• From the side menu click on Oauth2 -> General
• Modify the Default Authorization Link section with a Custom URL or In-App authorization

Article: https://discord.com/blog/discord-bots-and-app-discovery-announcement

[maiden fable]

Imagine copying DPY tags

[modest plover]

Ah ok

Ty, I'll try that now

[visual island]

they are made to make your life easier

[maiden fable]

Then contribute them to @unkempt canyon too, to stop bothering your PC's clipboard 👀

[modest plover]

I got the button now, tyy

[maiden fable]

Cool

[vale sierra]

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def next(ctx, *, member : discord.Member):
    await member.send(f"`Hello world ! `")
    
    await ctx.send("`Look in DM`")
``` hello, someone know why this commands doesn't work ? indents are good

[vast gale]

modify them to disnake first

[maiden fable]

sure, but I don't code in Python

[visual island]

they accept often asked question tags, ats button isn't often asked

[maiden fable]

Sad

[visual island]

can you elaborate "doesn't work"?

[vale sierra]

nothing append

[vale sierra]

there is a error for sure but nothing in console

[visual island]

try printing something before await member.send(...)

[placid skiff]

so you run the command and it does nothing?

[vale sierra]

yes

[placid skiff]

checked that the prefix that you use is correct?

[vale sierra]

wtf, i have this now (translate = missing args)

[vale sierra]

ofc

[red sundial]

yes you need a member object

[placid skiff]

yup he is right, in your command you declared a member object

[red sundial]

yup

what you can do is set the default as None

[placid skiff]

you can pass a member object by giving his ID, or by mentioning him

You can even send his discord name but ID and mention are better of course

[vale sierra]

ok

[red sundial]

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def next(ctx, *, member : discord.Member = None):

    if member not None:
        await member.send(f"`Hello {member.mention} ! `")
    
        await ctx.send("`Look in DM`")
    else:
        await ctx.send("mention a member")

@vale sierra

[vale sierra]

alr i test this

[placid skiff]

btw why do you added the * before the member object? you are telling your command to get every everything that the user write in the command

[vale sierra]

invalid syntax for the ```python
if member not None:

[placid skiff]

if member is not None

[vale sierra]

alr thats work thanks bro

[white perch]

how to make an anti spam

[slate swan]

if member: does the same thing

[placid skiff]

Yup, but is not None is more readable

[maiden fable]

Heh?

[slate swan]

vice versa?

[placid skiff]

well of course if you read if variable and the code is yours you automatically know if that variable is an object or a bool variable, but if you don't open your code for a lot time or you work in a team or you share your code with someone reading if variable could be a little bit confusing, because you have to found where that variable is declared to know if it is an object or a bool value

i always use is None or is not None for object value

call it mental arrangment lol

[vocal snow]

if that variable is an object or a bool variable ?

if x:
``` just uses bool(x)

if it doesn't have bool it's falsey

[placid skiff]

or if it is an empty value, an empty string, an empty list and so goes on

[vocal snow]

That's because of their respective __bool__s

[maiden fable]

So I WAS correct. if variable or if not variable IS somewhat faster

[vocal snow]

Yes, but it also does a different thing than x is not None

[red sundial]

sorry i forgot the is LOL

[vale sierra]

[placid skiff]

well of course, the not has to reverse the original value, at hardware level it is an operation. We are talking of microseconds logically

[unkempt yacht]

so i have this code for a timer command but i get an error that there is an error of invalid syntax:

@commands.command()
    async def timer(self, ctx, timeInput):
      try:
        try:
            time = int(timeInput)
        except:
            convertTimeList = {'s':1, 'm':60, 'h':3600, 'd':86400, 'S':1, 'M':60, 'H':3600, 'D':86400}
            time = int(timeInput[:-1]) * convertTimeList[timeInput[-1]]
        if time > 86400:
            await ctx.send("I can\'t do timers over a day long")
            return
        if time <= 0:
            await ctx.send("Timers don\'t go into negatives :/")
            return
        if time >= 3600:
            message = await ctx.send(f"Timer: {time//3600} hours {time%3600//60} minutes {time%60} seconds")
        elif time >= 60:
            message = await ctx.send(f"Timer: {time//60} minutes {time%60} seconds")
        elif time < 60:
            message = await ctx.send(f"Timer: {time} seconds")
        while True:
            try:
                await asyncio.sleep(5)
                time -= 5
                if time >= 3600:
                    await message.edit(content=f"Timer: {time//3600} hours {time %3600//60} minutes {time%60} seconds")
                elif time >= 60:
                    await message.edit(content=f"Timer: {time//60} minutes {time%60} seconds")
                elif time < 60:
                    await message.edit(content=f"Timer: {time} seconds")
                if time <= 0:
                    await message.edit(content="Ended!")
                    await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author.mention} Your countdown Has ended!")
                    break
            except:
              break
              except:
                await ctx.send(f"Alright, first you gotta let me know how I\'m gonna time **{timeInput}**....")```

[livid jacinth]

Hey, does anyone know how i let my discord bot send a message when someone comes online? Im a beginner in python. I try it multiple times but it doesnt work and i dont get an error or something. I used the bot event async def on_member_update but all my trys to get the status doesnt work.

[unkempt yacht]

Check your member intents maybe?

[livid jacinth]

Okay thanks. I will check it

[maiden fable]

U need the presences intent

Also what module u using?

[placid skiff]

To what i know there is no method or event which checks when the status change

[unkempt yacht]

Can anyone help with this?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.on_presence_update u sure?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_presence\_update

discord.on_presence_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") updates their presence.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• status

• activity

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

[placid skiff]

interesting

[maiden fable]

prior to 2.0 it was included in on_member_update

[placid skiff]

line where you get the error?

[unkempt yacht]

the last except:

[placid skiff]

disnake doesn't have any presence value in on_member/user_update

[maiden fable]

I know, that is why I said "prior to 2.0"

disnake is based on 2.0

[tight mica]

why do you have py except: break except: # code, there is no try for the second except

also the indentation is rly wrong

btw do you know python, or is this some copypaste?

because why would you do "I can\'t do timers over a day long"

[small igloo]

is that posibble so my bot can create 1 webhook for a text channel and use it multiple times? if yes, how

and can u bypass the "10 limit webhook" by creating webhook with a different name :V

[maiden fable]

Yea, just store the webhook object

[small igloo]

🗿 ?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Client.fetch_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.fetch\_webhook

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

Retrieves a [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Webhook "discord.Webhook") with the specified ID.

[small igloo]

oh, ok ty

[small igloo]

after that how to use :V

[maiden fable]

it returns a Webhook object

!d discord.Webhook.send can be used

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.send

await send(content=..., *, username=..., avatar_url=..., tts=False, ephemeral=False, file=..., files=..., embed=..., embeds=..., allowed_mentions=..., view=..., thread=..., wait=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message using the webhook.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`.

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.

If the `embed` parameter is provided, it must be of type [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") and it must be a rich embed type. You cannot mix the `embed` parameter with the `embeds` parameter, which must be 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 to send.

[small igloo]

url? and how to use the object 🗿 can i just await that_object.send("test")

[maiden fable]

webhook = await bot.fetch_webhook(id)
await webhook.send(...)

[small igloo]

s = await ctx.channel.create_webhook(name="Webhook")
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
                webhook = Webhook.from_url(s.url, session=session)
                ``` where to get the id, also in where so i just create the webhook 1 times without create it multiple times

[spring flax]

Oh there's a kwarg embeds never new that

[maiden fable]

added in 2.0

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Webhook.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.id

The webhook’s ID

[small igloo]

aha, ok ty

[maiden fable]

s.id will return the webhook id

[small igloo]

isnt that will still create webhook multiple times?

[maiden fable]

no

[small igloo]

wait, really :V ok

[spring flax]

Can i make a check that allows only one user bot owner to use extra pr3fixes than others?

[maiden fable]

U need the ID

[small igloo]

session is still used or no

[maiden fable]

Wym session

[spring flax]

This was to whom?

[maiden fable]

the one whom am replying to rn

[small igloo]

Maximum number of webhooks reached (10)

s = await ctx.channel.create_webhook(name="Webhook")
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
                # webhook = Webhook.from_url(s.url, session=session)
                webhook = await bot.fetch_webhook(s.id)
                await ctx.message.delete()
                await webhook.send(username=mention.name, avatar_url=mention.display_avatar, content=text+f"\n`requested by {ctx.author.name}`")``` i hate u

[maiden fable]

Bro, who said to use create_webhook repeatedly

[spring flax]

How'd i check the author of a message to extend prefix?

[small igloo]

i ask, where to add that so it wont create multiple times

[maiden fable]

and who tf said to create a session? For what u doing it

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.author ?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.author

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

[spring flax]

Is it bot, message?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[small igloo]

🤷‍♂️ not really understand how does that work

[maiden fable]

Its as simple as

webhook = await ctx.channel.create_webhook(...)
# store webhook.id somewhere, so whenever the command is used next time, make a check to see if webhook with the ID exists or not

[autumn trench]

i'm trying to make something that changes the colour of a role based on an image, but it's stopped changing the colour/quits printing anything after on_ready is called. any idea how to solve this?```python
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print('Boost roles active')

@tasks.loop(seconds=2)
async def colour_names():
try:
with open('DATA/BOOSTS/INDEX.txt', 'r') as j:
_colDICT = ast.literal_eval(j.read())
for ROLE in list(_colDICT.keys()):
with Image.open(_colDICT[ROLE]) as f:
colours = np.asarray(f)
print(f"0x{''.join([baseconv.base16.encode(i).lower().rjust(2,'0') for i in list(colours[:,(math.floor(time.time())%(colours.shape[1]*2))//2,0:3][0])])}")
await discord.utils.get(bot.get_guild(917640265475440681).roles, name=ROLE).edit(colour=discord.Colour(eval(f"0x{''.join([baseconv.base16.encode(i).lower().rjust(2,'0') for i in list(colours[:,(math.floor(time.time())%(colours.shape[1]*2))//2,0:3][0])])}")))
except Exception:
pass

colour_names.start()

[small igloo]

i mean 🗿 where to put that

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.created\_at

property created_at: datetime.datetime```
The message’s creation time in UTC.

[boreal ravine]

what fork is good?

[placid skiff]

you have to make your loop run after the bot is ready

i don't remember how to do that lol

[boreal ravine]

probably no

[small igloo]

where to put that thing

[small igloo]

🗿 disnake #1

[boreal ravine]

why disnake

[placid skiff]

Nope, the message which is used became an interaction, so the message became the one which the bot send which can be access by await interaction.original_message but you can get the content of the original message by doing this:
interaction.application_command.qualified_name

[small igloo]

cuz pycord suc

[boreal ravine]

that's not fair

why does pycord suck?

[placid skiff]

what object do you need for your command?

[maiden fable]

The only reason everyone supports disnake is cz of faster release of new features

[small igloo]

me what

[placid skiff]

do you need a message object?

[maiden fable]

Wrong person lol

[boreal ravine]

discord.js more faster 😳

[maiden fable]

In Python*

[placid skiff]

js sucks xD

[small igloo]

🗿 python

[boreal ravine]

why does it suck xD?

[small igloo]

holy fk internet suck

[boreal ravine]

suck what?

[unkempt yacht]

what would the object be for the invocation command?

[small igloo]

i need to put that where

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

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

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

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

[maiden fable]

@placid skiff can u help him? I have to go rn

[unkempt yacht]

tyvm

[small igloo]

🗿

[boreal ravine]

wait, I think it's that anyways

[placid skiff]

Yup i'm trying to understand what he wants to do lol

[unkempt yacht]

ok ty

[small igloo]

me or sift

[placid skiff]

you

[small igloo]

oh ok wait

[small igloo]

so basically

s = await ctx.channel.create_webhook(name="Webhook")
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
                # webhook = Webhook.from_url(s.url, session=session)
                webhook = await bot.fetch_webhook(s.id)
                await ctx.message.delete()
                await webhook.send(username=mention.name, avatar_url=mention.display_avatar, content=text+f"\n`requested by {ctx.author.name}`")``` i wana make the bot dosnt create  webhook multiple times

[boreal ravine]

yes

[placid skiff]

so you want to check if the webhook already exists?

[boreal ravine]

it doesn't create multiple times though?

[small igloo]

🗿

[small igloo]

yea, smth like dat ig

[placid skiff]

well as hunter as said you can store the id somewhere, in a file or a database, then before you send the webhook retrieve the id where you saved it and if they have the same id the webhook already exist

[crisp shoal]

hey i want my bot to convert a raw dict i provide in a message into an embed

[boreal ravine]

or they can use TextChannel.webhooks and parse through the list

[crisp shoal]

can someone help me with that

[small igloo]

ok, lemme try (wait, why database 🗿)

[placid skiff]

Database are usefull with bots

yes

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Embed.from_dict usage ex: ```py
dict = {"title": "title"}
embed = Embed.from_dict(dict)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.from\_dict

classmethod from_dict(data)```
Converts a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") to a [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") provided it is in the format that Discord expects it to be in.

You can find out about this format in the [official Discord documentation](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object).

[small igloo]

now how to fking add the webhook and ad the server ID one by one to the database 🗿

wait, server ID or text channel ID

[placid skiff]

you can use this too

[boreal ravine]

that's for you to do

[placid skiff]

if you don't want to use database

[small igloo]

parse... what

[crisp shoal]

i want to provide the values in the message so like !embed {"title": whatever title} and it will return an embed with that title

[placid skiff]

in databases you can save the id, it is more easy to fetch them

[boreal ravine]

the method returns a list

[boreal ravine]

yes, just use what I said

[small igloo]

can i?

print(TextChannel.webhooks)```

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.TextChannel.webhooks click the link first please

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.webhooks

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

Gets the list of webhooks from this channel.

Requires [`manage_webhooks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks "discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks") permissions.

[small igloo]

k ty

[crisp shoal]

how can I make python read my message as a dict so it can then send the embed through the msg

[placid skiff]

then you iterate through the list like for webhook_ids in inter.channel.webhooks and check if the id is in the list

[boreal ravine]

why inter though

[placid skiff]

or doing it in a single line doing this: if any(webhook_id == id for webhook_id in inter.channel.webhooks)

[slate swan]

!d json.loads

[unkempt canyon]

json.loads

json.loads(s, *, cls=None, object_hook=None, parse_float=None, parse_int=None, parse_constant=None, object_pairs_hook=None, **kw)```
Deserialize *s* (a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str"), [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") or [`bytearray`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytearray "bytearray") instance containing a JSON document) to a Python object using this [conversion table](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json-to-py-table).

The other arguments have the same meaning as in [`load()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.load "json.load").

If the data being deserialized is not a valid JSON document, a [`JSONDecodeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.JSONDecodeError "json.JSONDecodeError") will be raised.

Changed in version 3.6: *s* can now be of type [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") or [`bytearray`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytearray "bytearray"). The input encoding should be UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.

Changed in version 3.9: The keyword argument *encoding* has been removed.

[small igloo]

inter from?

[placid skiff]

he has to check more id or a single id? lol

[crisp shoal]

can i just do json.loads(message) so it can read it as a dict instead of a string?

[slate swan]

message.content, yea

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Embed.from_dict

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.from\_dict

classmethod from_dict(data)```
Converts a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") to a [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") provided it is in the format that Discord expects it to be in.

You can find out about this format in the [official Discord documentation](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object).

[maiden fable]

Nvm someone already told

[small igloo]

brain twist, i get the webhook id from the create webhook thing, and without create it i cant get the ID

[boreal ravine]

what I just did

[slate swan]

he still does not have a dictionary tho...

[small igloo]

ayy hello sarthak

[slate swan]

hi

[placid skiff]

Lol then you have to use a storage method, if you don't want to recreate it it is the only method

[small igloo]

holy crap i ask how to do that

[crisp shoal]

async def msg(ctx, *, message):
    data = json.loads(message.content)
    e = discord.Embed.from_dict(data)
    await ctx.send(embed = e)

if i try to !msg {"description": wtv desc, "title": wtv title} it still don't send

[slate swan]

ah, remove the content from there

[placid skiff]

database or file

[slate swan]

everything else seems fine

[small igloo]

🗿 db

[crisp shoal]

async def msg(ctx, *, message):
    data = json.loads(message)
    e = discord.Embed.from_dict(data)
    await ctx.send(embed = e)

@slate swan will my msg cmd work now

[placid skiff]

change the database you want to use, i suggest sqlite if you're a newbie

[slate swan]

will work

[placid skiff]

then create a table where to store the webhooks id, add some more reference like the id of the channel where the webhook was created

[small igloo]

@placid skiff

#can i do "s = await ctx.channel.check_webhook(name="Webhook")"
            if any(webhook_id == id for webhook_id in inter.channel.webhooks):
                pass
            else:
                s = await ctx.channel.create_webhook(name="Salcash RPG Webhook")
            webhook = await bot.fetch_webhook(s.id)
            await ctx.message.delete()
            await webhook.send(username=mention.name, avatar_url=mention.display_avatar, content=text+f"\n`requested by {ctx.author.name}`")```

[placid skiff]

can you send me the whole command so i can think a way to implement this?

[small igloo]

@bot.command(
    aliases=["say", "impersonate"]
)
async def repeat(ctx, mention:disnake.Member = None, *, text=None):
    if text == None:
        await ctx.send("where text")
    else:
        if mention == None:
            await ctx.send("pls mention someone")
        else:
            #can i do "s = await ctx.channel.check_webhook(name="Webhook")"
            if any(webhook_id == id for webhook_id in inter.channel.webhooks):
                pass
            else:
                s = await ctx.channel.create_webhook(name="Salcash RPG Webhook")
            webhook = await bot.fetch_webhook(s.id)
            await ctx.message.delete()
            await webhook.send(username=mention.name, avatar_url=mention.display_avatar, content=text+f"\n`requested by {ctx.author.name}`")```

[crisp shoal]

i tried to !msg {"description": wtv description, "title": wtv title} with the code above but doesn't send hm

[slate swan]

"description":"wtv description"

and there are many other required fields too

[crisp shoal]

oh

i got it, thanks sm

[slate swan]

you need to add "type":"rich"

you can do it inside the command itself

[crisp shoal]

it works without the rich it seems

[slate swan]

ah great then

[placid skiff]

yeah you have to store the id. i can send you a script which simplify the use of sqlite3

[small igloo]

yeah you have to store the id.

nooooooooooo

[placid skiff]

lol that will never work because id is None in that code

[small igloo]

i can send you a script which simplify the use of sqlite3

can u also simplify my use of if elif thing :V kinda too long

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/acafoginuw

[placid skiff]

well i'll start sending you the script, now i have to launch xD

[small igloo]

xd ok

[placid skiff]

i sent it in DM

[boreal ravine]

[spring flax]

hey @maiden fable how would i check if a cog is loaded or not

[maiden fable]

Just use bot.get_cog and see if it's returning None

[spring flax]

also, I thnik i tried using that before, I couldn't figure out what to put for the name argument in bot.get_cog, if i have my cogs as files in a folder where the main file is not in that folder do you mind telling me the name i should put?

[placid skiff]

use bot.cogs and check if the cog you are interested in that list

[spring flax]

does this return a cog instance or a string?

i.e would i need to use bot.get_cog to compare it?

[maiden fable]

U need to put in the cog name and see if it's returning None

[unkempt yacht]

this is my code:

@commands.command(name="setstatus")
@commands.cooldown(rate=1, per=30)
@commands.has_guild_permissions(administrator=True)
async def setstatus(self, ctx: commands.Context, *, text: str):
        """Set the bot's status."""
        await self.bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name=text))
        await ctx.send(f"The bot's status was changed to: {args}")
        await message.add_reaction(':tick:948182369347719209')```
I get an error  that there is missing 1 required positional argument. I'm not sure what the problem is.

[slim ibex]

first your indentation is off

[unkempt yacht]

thats discord

[slim ibex]

oh k

so I assume this is in a cog

[unkempt yacht]

ye

[spring flax]

give the full traceback

[slim ibex]

message.add_reaction prolly raises an error as message is not a parameter. But, tbh I'm not sure where the other pos arg is. give the traceback

[unkempt yacht]

ok 1 sec

[slim ibex]

is that it?

[spring flax]

give the full traceback

[spring flax]

yeah but i don't what to put as name

[unkempt yacht]

there was quite a lot so i couldnt take ss of it all

[spring flax]

yeah

[slim ibex]

looks like an internal error

[unkempt yacht]

hmm

another thing i noticed is this:

[dull terrace]

whats the best way to dynamically access attribute names

[spring flax]

wait

you didn't even define message

@unkempt yacht ^

[final iron]

Wut

Can you give an example of what you want to do?

[unkempt yacht]

so would i do
message =

[dull terrace]

if i had self.attribute and i had attribute as a string i could do locals()["self.attribute"] for example

[unkempt yacht]

and something after the =

[dull terrace]

but use a variable for the attribute part

[final iron]

Still don't understand

[unkempt yacht]

i would right? im just not sure what to put after the =

[final iron]

🤷‍♂️

[dull terrace]

locals()["self." + jeff]```

[final iron]

Ah

[sage otter]

setattr?

Is that what you're talking about?

[unkempt yacht]

@spring flax

[spring flax]

yes...?

that's how you define a variable

[unkempt yacht]

what would i put after the =

[cold sonnet]

I have no idea what you're talking about but you're overcomplicating

[unkempt yacht]

to define message

[spring flax]

what message do you want the reaction to be added to?

[unkempt yacht]

the message the user ran

[dull terrace]

does this explain better if save_type is the attribute name

[spring flax]

ctx.message

[unkempt yacht]

ohh tysmm

[cold sonnet]

spare yourself a variable

ctx.message.add_reaction

[slate swan]

Wut does this do ?@client.message_command() in disnake library

[unkempt yacht]

oh ok ty!

[slate swan]

[spring flax]

this is a discord library?

[sage otter]

From this example you're definitely thinking about setattr

!d setattr

[unkempt canyon]

setattr

setattr(object, name, value)```
This is the counterpart of [`getattr()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#getattr "getattr"). The arguments are an object, a string, and an arbitrary value. The string may name an existing attribute or a new attribute. The function assigns the value to the attribute, provided the object allows it. For example, `setattr(x, 'foobar', 123)` is equivalent to `x.foobar = 123`.

Note

Since [private name mangling](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#private-name-mangling) happens at compilation time, one must manually mangle a private attribute’s (attributes with two leading underscores) name in order to set it with [`setattr()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#setattr "setattr").

[dull terrace]

ahhh okay

[slate swan]

I believe that he's making functions for a leveling system?

[dull terrace]

thanks

[slate swan]

Any idea?

[cold sonnet]

is there really a reason to use this

[dull terrace]

it's actually for map objects in that example

[sage otter]

yea to dynamically set attributes at runtime

[dull terrace]

wait would setattr work with a dictionary

oh i needed to use getattr

getattr(cls, 'fields')['key'] = 'value'

[cold sonnet]

that does not work

it shows everyone is offline

[cold sonnet]

intents

you need presences intents

[jolly basalt]

i do

or do i?

[cold sonnet]

both in code and in the dev portal?

not only members

[jolly basalt]

ohh

[cold sonnet]

yeah, you only have members

[jolly basalt]

so what should i add

[cold sonnet]

and why did you define a client?

[jolly basalt]

forgot to remove that

[cold sonnet]

just
intents = discord.Intents.all()

[jolly basalt]

oki, tysm

[cold sonnet]

then you don't even need the other stuff

and don't forget the dev portal

[jolly basalt]

i enabled that

[cold sonnet]

👍

[jolly basalt]

so, what i want to do is

check all the mods if they are online or dnd or smth

and i want to get the first person

for example,

{'a' : 'offline'
'b' : offline
'c' : 'online}

i want to get a first. if a is not responding, ill get c

if this is a dumb question, im sorry

[boreal ravine]

use a for loop, check the members statuses, use the break keyword

[jolly basalt]

for i in mods:
  if str(i.status) == 'online':
    x = i
    break

x.send('blah blah blah')

something like that?

[boreal ravine]

yes I suppose

why not send the message in the loop though

[slim ibex]

x doesn’t exist out of that loop

[unkempt yacht]

docs for message content?

[jolly basalt]

x is declared outside

[slim ibex]

oh

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Message.content <--

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

[unkempt yacht]

ty

[quaint epoch]

if a user is a bot user, how do i find it's owner?

like, any user

[slim ibex]

the person who owns the bot?

[quaint epoch]

yes

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner_id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner\_id

The user ID that owns the bot. If this is not set and is then queried via is_owner() then it is fetched automatically using application_info().

[silk kelp]

get the bot.owner.id (which hunter mentioned) then you can use fetch_user(id) to get the rest of the information.

[boreal ravine]

no

[maiden fable]

!d disnake.Client.owner also exists

[unkempt canyon]

I don't think so.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[maiden fable]

Bruh not documented

Anyways, just use get_user with the owner_id

[slate swan]

@commands.command()
    async def brps(self, ctx, member):
        p = await self.bot.get_prefix(ctx.message)
        prefix = p[0]
        if member == None:
            await ctx.send("Invalid syntax\n;mrps <member>\n Mention the member next time")

        if member == ctx.author:
            await ctx.send("Bruh, how can you play with yourself?")

        if member == self.bot.user:
            await ctx.send(f"Do `{prefix}rps` if you wanna play with me")```

the command doesnt even trigger

[sage otter]

Ofc it does wdym?

just because a variable is not on the same indentation scope as something doesn’t mean it’s non existent else where

if that was the case we wouldn’t have dynamically assigned variables

[slim ibex]

He said it was defined elsewhere

[slate swan]

um what's wrong here

[sage otter]

You said what you said before he said that

[slim ibex]

yeah he clarified

[sage otter]

That was the problem tho. You made me think he wouldn’t be able to access "x" if they didn’t have it defined somewhere else

[slim ibex]

You probably should typehint member to discord.Member

[slate swan]

ahh i forgot it my bad

[sage otter]

Because you know you said "x doesn’t exist outside that loop"

[slim ibex]

yes I did say that

my fault

[silk kelp]

member: discord.Member

[slate swan]

how to find whether a member object is a bot or a human

[boreal ravine]

pretty sure get_prefix takes two args, unless that's a custom method

[slate swan]

ah I'll refer docs

[boreal ravine]

it's not documented

[slate swan]

uhm it's documented in pycord docs

[boreal ravine]

nvm it is

[final iron]

pycord ewwww

[slate swan]

i found tht method from the docs itself

[boreal ravine]

yeah

[slate swan]

?

[quaint epoch]

What object does await ctx.send() return?

[spring flax]

discord.Message

[quaint epoch]

how would i react to that message?

[spring flax]

define the send as variable

[quaint epoch]

yes, but what method to react and what args to be passed?

[slate swan]

how to find whether a member object is a bot or a human ;-;

[quaint epoch]

member.bot is a bool

[slate swan]

ohh alright

[spring flax]

!d discord.Message.add_reaction

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

You must have the [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission to use this. If nobody else has reacted to the message using this emoji, the [`add_reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.add_reactions "discord.Permissions.add_reactions") permission is required.

[quaint epoch]

nice

[boreal ravine]

A str/discord.Emoji/discord.PartialEmoji object should be passed in the method

[tepid tiger]

hi, can I ask a question about discord bot creation?

[boreal ravine]

using a string sometimes fail though

[lapis lintel]

sure

[boreal ravine]

yes

[tepid tiger]

I want vey simple things but i am doing something wrong

actually I am trying to do that; bot will remove a role of mentioned user in a spesific channel

but not as command, it can be in a sentence mentioned that user

i wrote that code :

  if "@" in message.content:
    message.content = message.content.split("@",1)[1] 
    message.content = message.content.split(" ",2)[0] 
    a = message.content
    a = a.replace("<","")
    a = a.replace(">","")
    a = a.replace("@","")
    a = a.replace("&","")
    a = a.replace("!","")
    await message.channel.send( a + " " + "is free!")
    #user_id = "<" + "@" + a + ">"
    #a = int(a)
    user = await client.fetch_user(a)
    role = discord.utils.get(user.guild.roles, id = a)
    await client.add_roles(user, role)
    await message.channel.send( user + " " + "is free!")

[slate swan]

;remove @tepid tiger role

like this?

[slate swan]

you can use message.mentions

[tepid tiger]

no for example "@tepid tiger is free have a good day"

when i wrote that it will remove a role of that user

not the author's

[slate swan]

ah

if message.content == "message you wrote":
#stuff:

[tepid tiger]

not exactly,

it can be any sentence but its the important thing is

[quaint epoch]

how do i get the id for an emoji? (not with my bot just with my discord)

i tried right clicking and stuff, but it's not working

[tepid tiger]

mentioned user can be end of the senctes or begining of the senctes

[honest vessel]

hello botmakers

[tepid tiger]

"Today @tepid tiger is so happy"
"what a wonderful day right @tepid tiger ?"

these are examples

[honest vessel]

@quaint epochpost ur emoji and put \ infront of it

[flat solstice]

So I'm trying to adapt a dpy embed pagination lib to work with hikari which is going okay. This lib has ctx as a parameter in several places (for example py class Paginator: def __init__( self, bot: Union[AutoShardedBot, Bot], # ik I'll need to change this to gateway bot for hikari ctx: Union[ InteractionContext, # This is from one of the libs depancies (the paginator lib is a extenion of a different interactions lib) so does hikari have something similar Context, # Hikari doesn't have this TextChannel, # Hikari's is GuildtextChannel ik User, Member, ],and I'm wondering what I could swap this out with since hikari doesn't have ctx. I though about using lightbulb or tanjun but I don't want to tie it to one specific library, is there a way I can check if a import actually exits or not (say if I imported tanjuns ctx but don't have tanjun installed the bot would just carry on and disregard any tanjun ctx references) or should I try to make my own ctx for the paginator and if so does anyone know any good examples I could check out on how ctx is made

[tepid tiger]

i want to scan the sentences and find the mentioned user, then take his role

so i wrote if "@" in message.content that alows to find mentioned someone in the sentence

[honest vessel]

you have message.mentions or something like that

[tepid tiger]

but it takes the user id not user as an object, so i cannot give a role or cannot remove a role by using his user.id

[honest vessel]

u can fetch user

by id and get object

oh btw fetch_member

[tepid tiger]

did I explain clearly? 😅

[honest vessel]

better if u show code 😄

[quaint epoch]

i still can't fetch an emoji

await ctx.guild.fetch_emoji('👋')

[honest vessel]

that is not a guild emoji

that is a global emoji

[quaint epoch]

oh

[honest vessel]

!d discord.Guild.fetch_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_emoji

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

Retrieves a custom [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji") from the guild.

Note

This method is an API call. For general usage, consider iterating over [`emojis`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.emojis "discord.Guild.emojis") instead.

[honest vessel]

and you also doing wrong u using an unicode emoji and not an ID of an emoji

but still thats a unicode global emoji and not a discord-guild emoji so therefor it has no ID

[spring flax]

if I unload a cog, it won't be in bot.cogs right?

[quaint epoch]

this good

[honest vessel]

if u unload a cog its gone yes

[honest vessel]

yes that works

[quaint epoch]

nice

[slim ibex]

Union with autoshardedbot and bot?

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Client.get_guild

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Client.get\_guild

get_guild(id, /)```
Returns a guild with the given ID.

[tepid tiger]

@slate swan ?

[spring flax]

Then why does

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

    loaded_cogs = set(bot.cogs.keys())
    all_cogs = set(list_of_cogs)
    unloaded_cogs = (all_cogs & loaded_cogs)
    await ctx.send(unloaded_cogs) 

This returns none even when i unload a cog

By none i mean it returns a empty set set()

[slate swan]

hmm?

[tepid tiger]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

why'd you want to do that? How'd the bot know you didn't ping them rather want to remove a role?

[tepid tiger]

actually there is a FIFA discord

and captains write their players name when they are free

so the players have the team role and when the captain say "this guy is free!" its automaticly lose his team role

we do it manually so we want to do that

[honest vessel]

@spring flaxbot.unload_extension

[vocal snow]

what are you trying to do?

[spring flax]

Get loaded and unloaded cogs

[spring flax]

Yeah ive done that in a command before using the cogs command

[vocal snow]

cogs or extensions?

[honest vessel]

bot.cogs

[tepid tiger]

is it logical?

[honest vessel]

@spring flax oh bot.cogs will still have cogs even if unloaded i guess

[spring flax]

Cogs

[slate swan]

still not getting lol. show me an example in text. like the whole process

[honest vessel]

@spring flaxthis is how i have to see cogs loaded or not,
first i have a global variable that contains a list of cogs i wanna load at botup then i use that list to check if its in bot.cogs or not

            for x in self.bot.botcogs:
                if x in self.bot.cogs:
                    description += f"✅ **{x.title()}**\n"
                else:
                    description += f"❌ **{x.title()}**\n"

[honest vessel]

my_guild.owner

i guess

[tepid tiger]

okay; imagine that there are 2 different text channel; 1. is agreement room; which is when the captain agree with a palyer text his name in that room like " @tepid tiger is our player anymore" and we want to give ceksar to team role when he was mentioned in that room,

the 2. room is contract termination room; which is captain write the player name again when they cancel their contract with player such as " @tepid tiger is not our player anymore, good luck in football life..." and the his team role from the ceksar.

[flat solstice]

yeah, it's a dpy extension lib that i'm trying to adapt to work with hikari (there's very little actual dpy code it's more the lib linking other things together). Hikari doesn't need autoshardedbot or bot bc it has gatewayBot (which is sharded all ready

[tepid tiger]

i think its very simple thing to do, but i am very close to do that just a tip all I need

[slate swan]

ah makes it much more clear

if message.mentions(person):
if message.channel.id == id_of_contract_cahnnel: add role
if message.channel.id == id_of_termination_channel: remove role

Pseudo but should give you an idea

[honest vessel]

if not country.nato_member:
    russia.invade(country)
``` #withukrainewestand 🇺🇦

[quaint epoch]

if a member is a bot, how do i find it's owner?

[honest vessel]

u cant i think

[quaint epoch]

!d disnake.AppInfo

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.AppInfo

class disnake.AppInfo```
Represents the application info for the bot provided by Discord.

[quaint epoch]

oh nice

[honest vessel]

oh

@quaint epochbutisnt that just your own bot?

[flat solstice]

so disnakes the currently recommended fork of dpy right?

[honest vessel]

yup

[quaint epoch]

no other bots as well, if member.bot is true then i want to find the owner of the bot

[honest vessel]

ah nice thanks ! didnt know that

[boreal ravine]

I mean you could make a list of all the cogs you have and do something like this ```py
loaded = []
unloaded = []

cogs = ["Eco", "Mod", "Info"]

for key in dict(bot.cogs).keys():
if key not in cogs:
unloaded.append(key)
else:
loaded.append(key)

[honest vessel]

what i kinda showed him earlier

for x in self.bot.botcogs:
                if x in self.bot.cogs:
                    description += f"✅ **{x.title()}**\n"
                else:
                    description += f"❌ **{x.title()}**\n"
``` and that i have a list of the cogs i want to load on botup

wich is a global var called botcogs

[quaint epoch]

oh nvm you can't get a bots owner info

[boreal ravine]

you can

[quaint epoch]

how?

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Client.application_info

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.application\_info

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

Retrieves the bot’s application information.

[quaint epoch]

for every bot, not just the current client

[boreal ravine]

When would the else statement ever occur lol

oh nvm

[boreal ravine]

pretty much impossible

[quaint epoch]

yeah that's what I'm saying lol

[placid skiff]

i don't think that you can access other bots data

[quaint epoch]

what

[maiden fable]

yea

[quaint epoch]

does disnake.RawReactionActionEvent let you check the user that added/removed the action?

[modern fiber]

Guys how can I run two bots at the same time? like how do I open pycharm two times

[torn sail]

I think it has user_id

[quaint epoch]

!d disnake.RawReactionActionEvent.user_id

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.RawReactionActionEvent.user\_id

The user ID who added the reaction or whose reaction was removed.

[quaint epoch]

nice

[boreal ravine]

await remove_reaction(member, reaction)

no parentheses

[quaint epoch]

!d disnake.Message.clear_reactions

[stray carbon]

is it possible to make a global userinfo command in discord.py??
(that shows user info even if they arent in the guild)

[quaint epoch]

yes i think so, use a user object, not a guild member tho

lol i was working on the same thing

[slate swan]

how to have same check function for multiple buttons

[stray carbon]

user: discord.User() or class user

[quaint epoch]

fetch the user

well, get or fetch what u prefer

[slate swan]

you cant get a user from cache if the bot cant see the user

[slate swan]

;-;

[quaint epoch]

you can't?

[slate swan]

no?

[quaint epoch]

!d disnake.Message.remove_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Message.remove\_reaction

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

Removes a reaction by the member from the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Emoji "disnake.Emoji").

If the reaction is not your own (i.e. `member` parameter is not you) then the [`manage_messages`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Permissions.manage_messages "disnake.Permissions.manage_messages") permission is needed.

The `member` parameter must represent a member and meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.abc.Snowflake "disnake.abc.Snowflake") abc.

[slate swan]

get_user gets the user obj from cache which the bot only caches the user it can see

[quaint epoch]

then what about await bot.fetch_user()

[slate swan]

fetch makes a api call so yes

[boreal ravine]

they said get or fetch meaning either

[quaint epoch]

oh alr

[slate swan]

ik but you cant really get a user the bot hasnt cached

[stray carbon]

oh without guild,maybe this

@client.command()
async def userinfo(ctx, user:discord.User):
  mem = fetch_member(user)
  await ctx.send(f'Name: {user.name}')

[slate swan]

fetch member but youre waiting for a user obj?

[stray carbon]

what uh

[slate swan]

[stray carbon]

[slate swan]

i think you ment user lol

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**.

[scarlet rune]

that target.send doesn't do anything though 🤔 it should've

[boreal ravine]

reply is a coroutine

[boreal ravine]

do you have intents

[scarlet rune]

yes i do

[boreal ravine]

hm

[boreal ravine]

maybe the bot can't DM the member because the member disabled DMs

[scarlet rune]

i tried it on myself, it didn't work

[boreal ravine]

any errors?

[scarlet rune]

no i don't get any...

[boreal ravine]

do you have jishaku?

[scarlet rune]

what is that?

[boreal ravine]

A useful extension for discord.py

[scarlet rune]

never tried it

[modest plover]

Can a bot use either of these:

1. Animated Emojis
2. Emojis from a server it isn't in

[boreal ravine]

1. yes
2. no

[boreal ravine]

show me how you invoke the command

[modest plover]

How do I get the animated emojis then? I can't copy the id I'm on mobile and I also don't have nitro

[sage otter]

Put a backslash then the emoji and send

[boreal ravine]

get the emoji by name

[scarlet rune]

e!send 389034898666553344 msg
i also have tried mentioning

[modest plover]

The way I get them atm is \:emoji: but I don't have nitro so I can't do that

[scarlet rune]

when i didn't put the message arg, the bot doesn't even reply with the if statement

[boreal ravine]

try adding print statements in the command to see where it stops

You are rate limited

[fallow mauve]

ok

[boreal ravine]

also is that your actual IP

[fallow mauve]

maybe 👀

[slate swan]

you just leaked your ip lmao

[scarlet rune]

just as i thoght, the command isn't even running, but thebot knows it's a command

[boreal ravine]

are you using replit?

[fallow mauve]

yeah

[modest plover]

Don't

[slate swan]

thats just your replits ip then

[fallow mauve]

good

[boreal ravine]

Try typing kill 1 in the shell

[coarse anvil]

does anybody know the code to blacklist words?

[fallow mauve]

i did

[quaint epoch]

how do you find when a guild was created

[scarlet rune]

maybe use if message in list

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Guild.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.created\_at

property created_at: datetime.datetime```
Returns the guild’s creation time in UTC.

[quaint epoch]

thanks!

[fallow mauve]

ive done that twice now and it still gives me that

[boreal ravine]

Gotta wait now I guess

[placid skiff]

Bro try to use the docs sometimes, not because i don't want to help you but literally this is the same method you used for the message but with a different object lol

[coarse anvil]

okay

[boreal ravine]

I recommend you use a proper IDE though (VSC/pycharm)

[left crater]

sublime is decent

[placid skiff]

Well you have to configure it to set a good intellisense

VSC/Pycharm are already configured

[left crater]

its based on preference

[placid skiff]

Plus sublime is a text editor and not an IDE

[boreal ravine]

do you have an error handler?

[scarlet rune]

no

[placid skiff]

Code?

[left crater]

.

[scarlet rune]

@placid skiff

[boreal ravine]

I'm clueless at this point

[placid skiff]

Do you have any on_message event?

[slate swan]

vsc is a text editor lmfao

plus you can download pyright to check types

[placid skiff]

Yup, but it is the text editor which is more related to an IDE among other text editors

[boreal ravine]

totally forgot about that

[scarlet rune]

nope, i unloaded all my extensions, im currently rebuilding it cuz my bot somewhy got deleted, i forgot everything

the only cog listener is on_ready it doesn't affect anything...

[slate swan]

not really more leaned to a text editor it does have a cool ui and linter but sublime has the same things but is a text editor

[boreal ravine]

discord.gg/dpy ask here maybe

[placid skiff]

He is using disnake

[scarlet rune]

waiting for answer there, i hate that my bot starts breaking randomly

[placid skiff]

btw what IDE are you using?

[scarlet rune]

me? pycharm

[placid skiff]

Good then, add a breakpoint at if message is None and run a debug

write the command and let's see if the code runs

[slate swan]

you should probably not name your command send

[final iron]

Why?

[boreal ravine]

why not

[final iron]

It shouldn't be an issue

[placid skiff]

why? python hasn't a bultin method named send

[modern fiber]

How do I make a bot send a custom emoji?

[placid skiff]

You have to use the id of the emoji and sent it by doing this :ID: i think

[modern fiber]

<:emoji-name:emoji-id>

or like this? huh' Ill try

[wicked atlas]

<:NAME:ID>
https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-formats

[modern fiber]

oh thanks man. It works with being animated too?

[placid skiff]

it should

[boreal ravine]

yeah, but an a before the first colon to symbolise that it's an animated emoji

[placid skiff]

A wild Hunter has appeared

[modern fiber]

Thanks man

[scarlet rune]

welp, it doesn't run. Just confirming, the bot knows that it's a command

[placid skiff]

Strange

[scarlet rune]

i'm clueless lol

[placid skiff]

Do you use the correct prefix?

[scarlet rune]

yeah

[placid skiff]

the command is in a cog?

[scarlet rune]

yeah

[slate swan]

bro method naming you ever read pep8

[placid skiff]

do you loaded the cog?

[scarlet rune]

yeah, the other functions works well

[boreal ravine]

whats wrong with naming a method send though

[shell oar]

im attempting to make an anti nuke/logging bot. basically uses the same idea and base of an anti, but logs instead of banning. my current way of getting user who triggered x event is [entry.user async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=1, action=event_action, oldest_first=False)][0]. that would ideally return the user object but that is flawed many ways. sometimes my bot is delayed and doesnt actually get the audit log and returns index error, sometimes discord is delayed and i get the same error. my bot may be behind and return a different user object. i notice audit_logs has other parameters such as before and after. i thought i could make a datetime object upon the event being triggered, and for the before add maybe timedelta 10 seconds, and for after subtract maybe timedelta 10 seconds. would this solve my problems?

i also thought about maybe doing something like

async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=10, action=event_action):
   if entry.target is x:
      return entry.user
      break``` 
or maybe dont event specify an action, and then in the if statement check target and action? 

just what would be the most optimal/fastest way to get the entry.user object?

seems like the parameters and the attributes on AuditLogEntry are almost identical, not sure what would be as optimal?

or is there another way to get the user who made x object

[final iron]

How does it break pep8

[scarlet rune]

imma try using slash command maybe if it shows any difference

[boreal ravine]

why cross-post

[placid skiff]

Well with slash you should find no problem

but that is strange

[slate swan]

bro doesnt pep8 have a whole section on method naming

[final iron]

Yes but tell me how it breaks it

[scarlet rune]

indeed, and i still have 3 school projects on the line

[boreal ravine]

you guys it's just PEP8 at the end of the day it's not that big of a deal no one will read your shit code anyways?

[sage otter]

Okimii you probably thought it did because it mirrors any Messegeable.send().

[slate swan]

i.e

def print():
    print("whats your name")

what does it print exactly

[slate swan]

nah nah

[boreal ravine]

nothing

[final iron]

PEP8 100% matters

[red sundial]

this hurts my eyes

[sage otter]

That’s only built ins okimii

[slate swan]

i thought about it

[red sundial]

this doesn't break pep8 this breaks python

[boreal ravine]

No

[final iron]

send isn't built in

[placid skiff]

Bro there is no builtin methods named send in python

[final iron]

Yes. Readability matters

[slate swan]

bro whos talking about built ins

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Can u both take it to an ot channel? @slate swan @final iron

[red sundial]

no

[final iron]

It's not overwriting any built in methods

[slate swan]

lmaooo

[final iron]

So what's the issue?

[placid skiff]

and the send method of a member/channel can't interfer with that command because you don't do something like this:

from discord.Guild.TextChannel import send

Even because you can't do that

[maiden fable]

RecursionError.

[boreal ravine]

..

[maiden fable]

uhhhh?

[boreal ravine]

do you wanna get muted

[daring olive]

that's not the appropriate response to someone telling you to follow our rules

[final iron]

[slate swan]

whos talking about built ins im talking about method naming

[red sundial]

they always do that its so annoying

[maiden fable]

I didn't even talk to him lmao

[final iron]

What's wrong with the method naming though

[red sundial]

sorry

[daring olive]

they're asking you to follow the rules. if you're annoyed, i can't do much about that..

[slate swan]

i showed an example

[placid skiff]

@slate swan

[red sundial]

im sorry

[final iron]

Yes but print() is a built in method. It will overwrite it while send() won't overwrite anything

[daring olive]

!rule 7 anyway, this is in fact one of our rules btw

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

7. Keep discussions relevant to the channel topic. Each channel's description tells you the topic.

[slate swan]

you guys dont see my point on how to name a method correctly

[sage otter]

No okimii because your logic doesn’t work

[sage otter]

The method naming rule only applies to built ins

[boreal ravine]

no

[placid skiff]

Well guys let's cut this off

[maiden fable]

istg this would be the first argument I am not a part of and I am happy about it 😔

@daring olive shush time for this channel?

[slate swan]

bro you do a send command what would you think it would do

[boreal ravine]

no

[boreal ravine]

send a message

[slate swan]

where

[daring olive]

no, the user apologized so, i don't see a need.

[maiden fable]

Was talking bout the other argument which is going on lol

[daring olive]

i'm not sure i see an argument lol. disagreements are fine, however. so long as they remain civil. don't be sarcastic or demeaning or condescending and you're all good

[red sundial]

well said

[slate swan]

yup

[daring olive]

like maybe overusing is a bit much

[boreal ravine]

yeah you guys are going too far with the pep8 stuff like it's enforced

[placid skiff]

what if i'm always sarcastic? xD

[red sundial]

true

[daring olive]

best not to be sarcastic with strangers you don't know in a public space on the internet that has moderators

[maiden fable]

Also @slate swan that print func gonna return an error iirc

[red sundial]

its not like you have to follow it 100%

[livid jacinth]

Hey, i tryed to make a bot who send a message if a specific user come online. I dont know how i can check whether he is online and the Id. Does anyone can help me?

[slate swan]

it was an example on method naming lmao

[placid skiff]

I never followed pep lol D_D

[maiden fable]

Ah okay

[slate swan]

lol

[boreal ravine]

what version of d.py are you using?

[red sundial]

i follow pep lol but i don't think i follow it 100%

[maiden fable]

Don't start another disagreement

One is enough for today

[placid skiff]

Oke boss

[scarlet rune]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/liyaxagomu what is this TypeError: True is not a valid parameter annotation cause

[slate swan]

you guys do know pep means Python Enhancements Proposal right

[placid skiff]

code that raise the error?

[modern fiber]

It doesn't work? Can someone help me how do I send custom emojis with bot?

[scarlet rune]

mhmm

[boreal ravine]

the link he sent

[placid skiff]

it is written in the exception

[livid jacinth]

I dont know were i can see it

i forgot it

[boreal ravine]

where did you install d.py?

[red sundial]

pip obviously

[livid jacinth]

yes

[nocturne saddle]

pycord >

[boreal ravine]

no

where did you download it from? pypi? github?

[red sundial]

pypi probably

[livid jacinth]

pypi ig

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.on_presence_update use this then

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_presence\_update

discord.on_presence_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") updates their presence.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• status

• activity

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

[boreal ravine]

check if the member is a certain member

and if it's the member send the message to them

[red sundial]

you would also need the presence intent for this don't forget about that

[livid jacinth]

I've tryed this if after.status is discord.Status.online:

[livid jacinth]

Yes I've checked it

[boreal ravine]

whats wrong?

[livid jacinth]

i dont know it dont send a message and i dont get an error

[boreal ravine]

maybe try casting the members status ```py
if ... == "online":
...

[whole shoal]

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    await guild.leave()

Is this a good bot?

[red sundial]

🤨

[boreal ravine]

definitely

[whole shoal]

Nicee time to make it

[livid jacinth]

Okay i try it

[quaint epoch]

the docs didn't cover this, member.pending is a bool that tells whether or not the member is verified, but what kind of verification?

like, a verified discord partner?

or verified through email?

[red sundial]

no like when you sign up you have to verify from email

[quaint epoch]

email verification?

[livid jacinth]

It doesnt work

[red sundial]

so this can be used to ban spammers and raiders

[boreal ravine]

pretty sure its like if the user is still on the verify page when you join a community server

[red sundial]

really?

[boreal ravine]

show code

[red sundial]

i always thought it was to prevent new accs

[quaint epoch]

really?

[boreal ravine]

not sure, read the object docstring

[boreal ravine]

cast the members status

you do know what casting is right?

[livid jacinth]

mhh no ig not

[red sundial]

str()

[livid jacinth]

aaa

[livid jacinth]

so if str(after.status) right

[boreal ravine]

yes

[livid jacinth]

Okayy its works but it spam the message and i want also the the message will send if a specific user comes online. can i do this? if str(after.status) == "online" and str(after.id) == "1235456":

[boreal ravine]

yes

IDs are integers though in the rewrite

[livid jacinth]

Ok it works thanks

But the bot spam the message what can I do about it?

did you know something?

[slate swan]

Channels

[boreal ravine]

not sure

does it send the message two times? or does it send the message more than two times

[livid jacinth]

more than two times

[nimble plume]
