whats wrong..?

[unkempt yacht]

I'm getting an error for my calculator command. Here's the code:

        blocks = [
            block.MathBlock(),
            block.RandomBlock(),
            block.RangeBlock(),
        ]
        self.engine = Interpreter(blocks)

    @commands.command(aliases=["calc"])
    async def calculate(self, ctx, *, query, message):
        """Math"""
        query = query.replace(",", "")
        engine_input = "{m:" + query + "}"
        start = time.monotonic()
        output = self.engine.process(engine_input)
        end = time.monotonic()

        output_string = output.body.replace("{m:", "").replace("}", "")
        try:
            fmt_str = f"{float(output_string):,}"
        except ValueError:
            fmt_str = output_string
        e = discord.Embed(
            color=await ctx.embed_color(),
            title=f"Input: `{query}`",
            description=f"Output: `{fmt_str}`",
        )
        e.set_footer(text=f"Calculated in {round((end - start) * 1000, 3)} ms")
        await ctx.send(embed=e)

and here's the error:

[unkempt yacht]

This is in a cog btw

[boreal ravine]

show on_command_error

[unkempt yacht]

wdym

[boreal ravine]

show your on_command_error

[unkempt yacht]

i dont understand, i don't think I have one.

[manic wing]

full error?

[unkempt yacht]

This is all that shows up on the console

[manic wing]

are you sure?

[unkempt yacht]

yes

[manic wing]

well despite the odd error

you did ,*, query, message

[unkempt yacht]

yea

[manic wing]

making message a kwarg

!kwarg

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

These special parameters allow functions to take arbitrary amounts of positional and keyword arguments. The names args and kwargs are purely convention, and could be named any other valid variable name. The special functionality comes from the single and double asterisks (*). If both are used in a function signature, *args must appear before **kwargs.

Single asterisk
*args will ingest an arbitrary amount of positional arguments, and store it in a tuple. If there are parameters after *args in the parameter list with no default value, they will become required keyword arguments by default.

Double asterisk
**kwargs will ingest an arbitrary amount of keyword arguments, and store it in a dictionary. There can be no additional parameters after **kwargs in the parameter list.

Use cases
• Decorators (see !tags decorators)
• Inheritance (overriding methods)
• Future proofing (in the case of the first two bullet points, if the parameters change, your code won't break)
• Flexibility (writing functions that behave like dict() or print())

See !tags positional-keyword for information about positional and keyword arguments

while True: await asyncio.sleep(60) timestamp = datetime.datetime.now() await message.edit(embed=embed)

Can someone tell me why this doesn't work?

It doesnt update the embed, it just show it edited it but doesnt update the time

[quick gust]

embed.timestamp

u never edited the embed object itself

[silk mauve]

Oh thanks

Is there also any way to show how many people are on Online for example=

or on do not disturb?

Or Oflline?

Hey @quaint epoch!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[quaint epoch]

!paste

[unkempt yacht]

I was wondering how i would be able to make something like this (a reaction role command).

[slate swan]

whats Member.guild_avatar?

[quaint epoch]

on_reaction_add or on_raw_reaction_add

[quaint epoch]

brb found a bug

[slate swan]

dm = await member.create_dm() this is an extra step/api call

you can just Member.send() in 99% cases

[quaint epoch]

i wanted to be safe

yeah sorry, fixed a bug - https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uviwewixaj

[placid skiff]

be more specified, it is not suggested to use on_reaction_add because it triggers the reactions which are in the bot cache

[quaint epoch]

alr

[minor anvil]

Someone gimme the funniest piece of code ever

[placid skiff]

so the code will work if the reaction is created when the bot is online but when you turn it offline or the reaction was created before the bot came online the bot will not see when a reaction will be addedd

[quaint epoch]

print('funniest piece of code ever')

[minor anvil]

thank yoi

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg): if not isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel) :await msg.delete(), await msg.author.kick()```

[minor anvil]

thanks

[quaint epoch]

funny 100, functionality 0

i sure love dm'ing bots

[slate swan]

why would it not work lol

[quaint epoch]

how can you kick and author from a dm? you can close a dm but how would you kick

[slate swan]

if not isintance

[quaint epoch]

ooooh

i didn't see that, sorry im using light mode

[slate swan]

nice excuse

[quaint epoch]

flashbang

my mom made me turn it on because "it's good for my eyes"

[minor anvil]

OW

[manic wing]

you cant have two colons on the same line without an indent

[quaint epoch]

if python was a language that you can condense all in one line without lambdas, i would not program it

[manic wing]

you can condense lots of code into one line

[quaint epoch]

but all of it?

[manic wing]

dont program it

[manic wing]

a lot of it, tes

[slate swan]

isee

[quaint epoch]

new apple product

[manic wing]

give me the code for a command and ill condense it to one line

[quaint epoch]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uviwewixaj

[manic wing]

too long, i cba

ill do the first 15 lines

[quaint epoch]

[manic wing]

you just want me to fix your code anyway

[quaint epoch]

anywhooo, i have math now cya

[quaint epoch]

no it's fixed, im using this as an excuse to have someone use it

no one uses it

[modern fiber]

how do I add allies on command?

[manic wing]

the code doesnt look very efficient in the slightest, not sure why someone would use it

[manic wing]

@command(aliases=[...])

[quaint epoch]

@bot.command(aliases=[])

[modern fiber]

ty

[quaint epoch]

oh yeah math cya

[modern fiber]

what about emojis, how do I add them (custom ones)?

[manic wing]

just put them in the alias

[modern fiber]

.

[quaint epoch]

because

[modern fiber]

no I meant like for them to send it

[manic wing]

put the custom emoji code into the alias

<name:id>

[modern fiber]

yeah but it doens't owrk like that

[manic wing]

why not?

[modern fiber]

let me show

it sends like this

[manic wing]

what are you trying to do?

[modern fiber]

send the emoji I made

[livid jacinth]

Hey I have @bot.event which sends a message when a certain user comes online. But the bot sends the message 4 times.

[manic wing]

you want to send the emoji you made?

remove the ~1

[livid jacinth]

Can someone help me?

[manic wing]

what does your code look like?

[manic wing]

try printing after.status

also you dont need to put str around after.id, just remove the str and remove the quotes around the id so its a bare int

[modern fiber]

@manic wing

See mate..

[manic wing]

does the bot have access to that emoji (aka in that server) and emoji intents?

[modern fiber]

emoji intents? not sure about that. lemme check

[modern fiber]

I did this, but still doesn't work

[livid jacinth]

Do you mean that under "await channel.send(f "IDK")" I should write "print(after.status)?

[manic wing]

just print the status somewhere to debug it

[manic wing]

are you sure you copied the emoji correctly?

[livid jacinth]

Okay I've done it but he still spamming the message

[manic wing]

what is printing?

[livid jacinth]

online but 5 times and than i stopped the bot

[manic wing]

odd

[cedar stream]

Just use disnake.Intents.all() if you are not verified yet

[livid jacinth]

odd?

what is that?

[manic wing]

odd = ! even

[livid jacinth]

I do not know what this is

[modern fiber]

How?

This emoji,

948275750820265984

@manic wing @cedar stream

[manic wing]

put \ before it and copy it

[modern fiber]

wdym \ before it

:protech_warning:\

[livid jacinth]

Do you know what should i do?

[manic wing]

thats after it

[kind cargo]

can anyone help me please?

[manic wing]

no, its triggering multiple times for some reason meaning you've done something wrong with your code but im not gonna spend 2 hours fixing it with you

[modern fiber]

I should do it in the code?

[sick birch]

This would get triggered, if say, the user stayed online but updated their profile (status)

You want to check both the before status and after status

[modern fiber]

Like this? @manic wing

[manic wing]

i was suggesting you use that to copy the emoji but it looks like you've copied it fine

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.

[maiden fable]

Oh Swetify. Hi there!

[kind cargo]

Hi my friend! 👋👋

[sick birch]

Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead.

The error says everything

[kind cargo]

what should i enable in portal?

[maiden fable]

You need to enable members and presence intent from discord dev portal

[kind cargo]

ok ty

[sick birch]

If you're using discord.Intents.all() enable both checkboxes

My bad been a while

[maiden fable]

Even if u ain't doing it, turning them both on won't really hurt haha

[lavish summit]

hi, im trying to make a command that checks if the last time a user was ping was at least 1 hour ago, how could i do this?

[sick birch]

But if your bot is in high-traffic guilds probably best to leave them off to reduce computational power

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

@slate swan it also works by making an instance of the class (just saying)

[sick birch]

on_message, if the message contains a ping for a user, store that time as a bot var or a cog var or something like that

[lavish summit]

thanks!

[spring flax]

How does it increase computational power?

[slate swan]

alright

[sick birch]

discord.Intents.all() is a class method iirc

[maiden fable]

Yups

[sick birch]

More events dispatched to you through the websocket, more info to process

[maiden fable]

Same with Intents.default

[spring flax]

But you don't have the intent enabled in code, just the portal, this increases it?

[kind cargo]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/bonamaxehi @sick birch , whats this? 🙂

[modern fiber]

What is like command description for?

[sick birch]

That's why limiting intents to exactly what you need is the best practice to follow in production

[spring flax]

iirc it's for default help command

[sick birch]

Can you post the code? Also that doesn't look like a full traceback

[maiden fable]

Also, once yr bot gets verified, the other intents get disabled automatically

[kind cargo]

like my whole code?

like whole main.py?

[sick birch]

Sure put it in a pastebin

[kind cargo]

Okay

[modern fiber]

How do I make it for like bot to send a command when joining?

onjoin how?

[sick birch]

I think on_guild_join

!d discord.on_guild_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_join

discord.on_guild_join(guild)```
Called when a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") is either created by the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") or when the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") joins a guild.

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

[sick birch]

no way i pulled that off the top of my head

[spring flax]

That's generaly avoided though

[kind cargo]

Can iu send it in your PM @sick birch `?

[sick birch]

My dms are closed sorry, it's better to ask here anyway

[kind cargo]

Okay

i dont want others to steal my code..

[maiden fable]

This just feels soo satisfying

[sick birch]

They won't

[kind cargo]

[maiden fable]

Indeed

[kind cargo]

[maiden fable]

[spring flax]

Is the bot in the server you're doing guild_ids? @kind cargo

[kind cargo]

Yep

[spring flax]

Can you double check?

[kind cargo]

Yes

[sick birch]

Looks like it's a slash command problem

[kind cargo]

I think

[sick birch]

Does your bot have the necessary permissions? e.g can add application commands

[kind cargo]

Yea

[sick birch]

You're 100% sure? You checked the box when generating the URL?

[spring flax]

Also I'd suggest passing in change_presence in bot construction, instead of making api call on_ready

[sick birch]

I wish this was pinned

[kind cargo]

if you kick the bot then invite it again does that work?

and i check the slash command

[sick birch]

Regen a URL including the application command premission

[kind cargo]

Okay

[maiden fable]

Make a task and start it to change the presence repeatedly 😄

[spring flax]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot the kwarg here

[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.

[silk mauve]

How to do a loop?

[kind cargo]

ty so much for the help @sick birch ❤️ keep doing the things you doing! Amazing

[silk mauve]

Like a command task loob?

[modern fiber]

I don't see the command when I do /

[spring flax]

What do you mean command loop

[silk mauve]

Like the Bot does something I want every 10 seconds for example

https://pastebin.com/raw/egdVLEkL

[sick birch]

hmm that's odd

never seen that "unknown interaction" one before

[kind cargo]

Oh

That's weird act

[maiden fable]

U should do interaction.defer first. It's totally random acc to me and is fixed by doing inter.defer for me

[kind cargo]

are you talking to me? 🙂

[quick gust]

yes

[maiden fable]

Yup

[kind cargo]

Okay

Where should i add it? what line?

[spring flax]

this can happen if you take too long to respond to the interaction iirc

[kind cargo]

okay

[spring flax]

the default time you have to respond is three seconds but if you do defer you get 15 minutes

[kind cargo]

Oh damn

[spring flax]

I believe it is await inter.response.defer()

[kind cargo]

but where should i type it?

[spring flax]

the first line in the command, i guess

[kind cargo]

ok

so i paste this first interaction.defer

[spring flax]

why aren't you passing in any kwargs? msg = await interaction.original_message()

[kind cargo]

what i dont really understand

@maiden fable

where should i paste "interaction.defer"

[spring flax]

if you want to use interactions i suggest moving out of discord.py and perhaps using disnake

[kind cargo]

ok

[spring flax]

i told you that above

[kind cargo]

so first in the whole code?

[livid jacinth]

Does anyone know why my bot sends the message several times and how I fix this?

[modern fiber]

Can somebody help?

I tried disnake.SlashCommand too

(ignore caps, not sure how i did it in the code)

[kind cargo]

@spring flax

[spring flax]

yes?

[kind cargo]

i dont know where to place it what line tell me, https://pastebin.com/raw/egdVLEkL

or above where

[spring flax]

i honestly have no idea how discord slash commands are

@bot.slash_command(
    name = "swish" , 
    usage="/swish" , 
    description = "Command for making payment" ,
    guild_ids=GUILD_IDS ,
    default_permission = False
)
@permissions.has_role("Tillgång")
async def swish(ctx:discord.ApplicationContext , namn: str, nummer: str , belopp: str):
    interaction = await ctx.respond(f"Processing payment request from {ctx.author.mention} to {namn}. Amount: {belopp}.....")
    msg = await interaction.original_message()
    payment = utils.Payment(namn,nummer,belopp,msg.created_at,msg.id)
    
    await msg.channel.send(file = discord.File(fp=payment.mp4))

    payment.close()

This makes it look like two seperate functions

[kind cargo]

Okay....

[cloud dawn]

What module are you using?

[spring flax]

not my code

[cloud dawn]

This looks very weird

[spring flax]

yes, that's what i thought

it's discord.py

yeah like i said before i don't know if you saw this but discord.py's development has been stopped so maybe consider switching libs disnake may be the best move because of how similar it is

[halcyon sparrow]

Do you guys prefer channel perms or guild perms for moderation commands?

[modern fiber]

Can somebody help me? My slash commands aren't working. Im new to slash commands anyways.

[left crater]

you have to return it

[livid jacinth]

What do you mean

And how i can do it

[left crater]

put a return keyword

  await ctx.send("yay")
  return```

[manic wing]

just put return on the same line as the await

[left crater]

oh yeah

[manic wing]

saves a line of code

[long blade]

how can i send a custom emoji?

ive tryed like <:Name:id> it dont wowrk

[left crater]

.

@long blade

[long blade]

yes#

[left crater]

<:emojiname:emoji_id>

[long blade]

yes ive tried that

[livid jacinth]

Mh i've put return after that but it still spam it

[long blade]

it sends :name:

@left crater why dose it do that?

[left crater]

await ctx.send("<:emojiname:emoji_id>")

did u do this?

[long blade]

sort of

i did it in a embed @left crater

[left crater]

i think is the same thing im not sure

@sick birch

[long blade]

yeah i think it is

[left crater]

show code

[swift acorn]

So I can use @commands.guild_only() for commands.

But how do I disable events in Dms

[left crater]

!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.

[livid jacinth]

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):

        await channel.send("IDK")
        return

[left crater]

do return await channel.send("idk")

[long blade]

zany way i can ix it?

[flat solstice]

Is there anything particular broken about this command? I can't seem to get it to work without providing a channel even tho I have a check for channel being nonepy @checks.is_admin() @commands.command(description = "Make me say something.", usage = "echo [channel] <message>", hidden = False) async def echo(self, ctx, channel: Optional[discord.TextChannel] = None, *, content: str): channel = ctx.channel if channel is None else channel await ctx.message.delete() await channel.send(content, allowed_mentions = discord.AllowedMentions(everyone = False))

[modern fiber]

It doesn't pop up when I use /, help please.

[livid jacinth]

The bot still spamming

[modern fiber]

Can someone help?

[slate swan]

1. do you have the application commands scope
2. you have to wait 1hour for slash commands to register globally
3. if you dont want the commands to register globally use the test_guilds kwarg in the bot constructor

[left crater]

@slate swan im lost

[long blade]

dont worrie

[modern fiber]

wdym by the first one

[slate swan]

when you invite your bot it has certain scopes you must have application commands scope on

[left crater]

try putting return outside the if statement

[slate swan]

why return the method if theres nothing else to execute?

[modern fiber]

I have admin perms..

[slate swan]

it doesn't matter its a scope bro

[modern fiber]

oh ok

this one good?

[slate swan]

no

it must be in the bot constructor

[left crater]

@modern fiber

[modern fiber]

what should I enable

[modern fiber]

with the intents and prefix?

[slate swan]

yea

[left crater]

applications.commands

[slate swan]

bot and applications.commands scopes

[livid jacinth]

Without return the bot also spamming the message

[slate swan]

then theirs something thats causing a loop is that all of your event?

[livid jacinth]

Yes

[slate swan]

btw is that your id?

[livid jacinth]

Yes? why ask that?

[modern fiber]

I did both, @slate swan @left crater, invited the bot again with scopes, added this "client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='p!', intents=intents, test_guilds=[948245926290538506])" but still I doesn't see the command when I do /?

[slate swan]

just making sure

[modern fiber]

Here is the command code again.

[slate swan]

can i see your whole code?

[modern fiber]

maybe its about intents?

[slate swan]

the msg wasnt for you and no

[modern fiber]

Oh okay. So can you help please..

I don't know whats wrong. Been trying for over a hour.

[slate swan]

slash commands dont have context lmao

[modern fiber]

wdym context lmao?

[slate swan]

ctx?

[modern fiber]

[slate swan]

ctx means context

[sage otter]

I mean that depends. Some libraries have SlashContext.

[modern fiber]

await ctx.channel.edit(slowmode_delay=seconds)
await ctx.send(f"Set the slowmode in this channel to {seconds} seconds!")

[slate swan]

[modern fiber]

just help me for god shake why nobody knows whats wrong

i've been trying for more than a hour

[slate swan]

what lib

[modern fiber]

disnake?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/tree/master/examples%2Fslash_commands

[livid jacinth]

Does anyone know how I can fix that the bot spams the message?

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == 628201511259865107:
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")

[modern fiber]

How do I make something like variable, so person can type !setchannel "CHANNEL ID" and then later I can use that channel for like logging or shit

[left crater]

json or SQL

SQL is probably the better choice

[slate swan]

just make an argument that takes a text channel obj and just get the channel to log stuff or use a db to log a history

[tidal hawk]

yep

[modern fiber]

Can you help me with that? How so.

[native wedge]

how to use external emoji in embed ???

[swift acorn]

Use the emoji ID like this for example !CH_DanceBoi

[flat solstice]

Is this the correct way to fetch a channel?py announcements = await self.bot.fetch_channel(data[31])bc I keep getting this error even tho the column that data is calling has a channel ID in it

[swift acorn]

I think I just used await bot.get_channel(Channel ID)

[slate swan]

like are you wanting it to send in a certain channel that you're in or just get it to send in a channel that's been chosen?

horrible explanation on my end

[native wedge]

is this normal ?

[swift acorn]

Is the bot in the server which has that custom emoji?

[native wedge]

yes

[slate swan]

donkey is the emoji in a title?

[cloud dawn]

Can you show the raw string?

[native wedge]

its in a field title

[native wedge]

embed.add_field(name=f" :usercoin: User Coins", value=f"{user_coins}", inline=True)```

[slate swan]

emojis and mentions can't be in any titles

[swift acorn]

They should work in feild titles, they do for me at least

[slate swan]

they don't for me

[flat solstice]

I want it to send the msg in a specific channel, The ID f which is stored in my db

[cloud dawn]

TapRo already explain what you should use #discord-bots message

[native wedge]

it format automatically

[modern fiber]

How do I set it so player can set an argument (example: !channelset ID) and then later, when I code something, I can use that argument for let's say example logging channel?

[native wedge]

here is real string, sorry i cannot change @cloud dawn

[modern fiber]

[native wedge]

when i type that it change automaticlly

[swift acorn]

Let me go try use a custom emoji in a feild title

[native wedge]

:usercoin:

see it change

[cloud dawn]

Pass an arg inside the function, you would also need a database.

[slate swan]

ah shit, check the documents im not the best when it comes to things like that

[modern fiber]

How can I make it?

[cloud dawn]

get the channel then send it to that specific channel.

[livid jacinth]

Does anyone know how I can fix that the bot spams the message?

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == MYID:
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")

[swift acorn]

It works for me, just tried

[cloud dawn]

What do you got so far?

[native wedge]

this in a field title so idk why not me work

[modern fiber]

Sadly, nothing. I got the kick and logging system from the private bot, but now I need to set it to work as public.

[cloud dawn]

Well compare if the before status was online to not trigger it when it was already set as online.

[slate swan]

lemme try on mine rq

[cloud dawn]

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if all([
        before.status != after.status,
        after.status == "online",
        after.id == MYID
        ])
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")

[swift acorn]

The -ping is a feild title and that's a custom peepo emoji and works for me

[cloud dawn]

Did you construct a database yet?

[swift acorn]

The emoji that you're trying to show, is it in the same server as the server you're using the bot in?

[modern fiber]

Nope. Didn't worked with databases yet.

[native wedge]

no

[slate swan]

learnt something new today, thought it was author and fields you can't put it in (besides the value of the field obviously)

[swift acorn]

That's probably it

[native wedge]

it cannot used external emoji?

[swift acorn]

Footers too, you can't have custom emojis there either

[swift acorn]

That's the only reason I can think of as to why it isn't working for you

[native wedge]

OMG i found the solution

[cloud dawn]

You'll need it if you want to have multiple guilds work with the same command. The bot needs to know to what server you are going to send it to.

[native wedge]

i have to do
:cool_emoji_name: and it return its

[modern fiber]

Okay, can you help me with it please?

How do I make it?

[cloud dawn]

I can give you recommendations for databases but you would need to make it yourself. I can give the names of the tools as well.

[modern fiber]

You need to pay or some?

[tidal hawk]

Whenever I run a bot it says: Interaction has already been acknowledged. & This command has just been synced. although I have set test_guilds in the main file, which shouldn't make them global.

[cloud dawn]

Big bots -> PostgeSQL + asyncpg
Small bots -> SQLite + aiosqlite
Json based syntax -> MongoDB + Motor

No, were here to help people and solve problems, not to code entire database structures/ bots

[modern fiber]

No no, I meant like do you need to pay for it lol

for databases, Im new to it 😂

[cloud dawn]

No, databases are free, you do need to host it though, sqlite is file based so that doesn't have any hosting. As for postgre or mongodb you could host them but you could also host it locally on your VPS.

[modern fiber]

This is what I currently have, basically, I need it so this ID can be changed with command.

[modern fiber]

I heard some people do it without databases tho..?

[slate swan]

just have a argument as an int if you want to save it a dict ig

[cloud dawn]

And that is only possible with a database or forcing people to have specific channel names.

[cloud dawn]

Yeah that would be channel names, but i don't recommend doing that.

[modern fiber]

Sure, that would be great too. I can do that (the specific channel names).

[livid jacinth]

I've try it but now i get a the SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[modern fiber]

I mean, my bot is kind of this.. protection bots things. So one "protect-logs" or smth like that channel wouldn't be bad.

So how can I do that for example?

[cloud dawn]

Do you got the full error?

[modern fiber]

to get a channel with that name

[native wedge]

how do i make If Else statements in a command? they dont seem to work for me / i dont know how to do it

[slate swan]

a command is like any method?

[cloud dawn]

You would need to check if there is a channel with that name, if not create it. Once you have a channel with that name send it there and break the loop to avoid people trying to break your bot.

[cloud dawn]

Could you provide some code?

[livid jacinth]

That the is full log
code, fname = _get_code_from_file(run_name, path_name)
File "C:Programs\Python\Python39\lib\runpy.py", line 242, in _get_code_from_file
code = compile(f.read(), fname, 'exec')
File "c:\bot.py", line 339
])
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[flat solstice]

Yeah but doesn't getting the channel fail if the channels not in the cache? And chances are the channels not going to be in the cache

[native wedge]

this is horrible code but this is my attempt to do it inside a command

if moderator == "1":
                real_moderator = "Moderator"
        elif moderator == "2":
                real_moderator = "Elder Moderator"
        else:
                real_moderator = False```
and then i try to display ```real_moderator``` in an embed

i feel like im doing something wrong, any help ?

[cloud dawn]

Could you paste your code here? Looks like the syntax error occurs after that.

[cloud dawn]

Fetch it.. like i said i don't recommend this option. But if the person i'm helping doesn't want to have any database i can only provide alternatives.

[modern fiber]

How should I set it?

[cloud dawn]

Could you show the whole command, i'll try and clean it up a bit.

[livid jacinth]

the error is with the brackets ig

[cloud dawn]

Put an : at the end of ])

[native wedge]

enjoy my horrible, bodged, raw code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fixepadugo

[cloud dawn]

What do you mean set it?

[cloud dawn]

If statements need a : at the end.

[modern fiber]

Basically, so that bot makes a channel with the name upon joining - with setting a permissions (so only like admins can see it?) and it uses that channel for the logging purposes.

[cloud dawn]

I'll try to make it a bit more readable.

[native wedge]

you do you, it is not needed to do that

[modern fiber]

@cloud dawn

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.CategoryChannel.create_text_channel

[tidal hawk]

Does somebody have a idea, why my slash commands disappear after using one

[livid jacinth]

I know i was a little bit brain afk im sorry

[cloud dawn]

Do you have an idea why it happends?

[tidal hawk]

No.

[modern fiber]

Thanks man. And how do I use it now as an ID?

[tidal hawk]

Wouldn't be asking then @cloud dawn

[modern fiber]

What should I put in the brackets of "getchannel"

[cloud dawn]

Is there a reason why it doesn't work? Do you get an error?

[livid jacinth]

Okay i tryed it but i dont get an error or something but the bot do nothing

[native wedge]

it does not raise an error, but when someone has Moderator to 1 , it pastes as False, it seems my if else is not working

[cloud dawn]

I understand, but i want to isolate the issue, do all commands have this? If so you maby have an specific on_application_command events?

[cold sonnet]

could it be that you converted it

[cloud dawn]

Is that not what you wanted? To stop it from spamming?

[native wedge]

what do you mean exactly

[livid jacinth]

Yes but i wanted that the bot send the message one time

[cloud dawn]

Are you sure the moderator 1 isn't an int?

[cold sonnet]

I see, moderator is this
moderator = response.json()["moderator"]

[rough finch]

Why does it say command not found?

@bot.command()
async def abc(ctx):
    if ctx.author_id == 700061502089986139:
        discord.Member.add_roles(ctx.authot_id, 906166247497027645, reason=None, atomic=True)
        await ctx.send("Успешно")
    else:
        await ctx.send("Не доступно")```

[native wedge]

oops it is an int

wow im stupid wtf

[cold sonnet]

this is bad

[tacit horizon]

how to add author_id
like !add @tacit horizon

[cold sonnet]

1. replace discord.Member with an instance of it
2. it's ctx.author.id, not ctx.author_id and not ctx.authot_id
3. you do not need reason and atomic in your add_roles()
4. your 906166247497027645 has to be a role object, not the id
5. you don't have a member argument in add_roles

[cloud dawn]

Not sure what you want exactly since the reason it spams is because you were already online then it will check it again on every member change.

[whole shoal]

Guys rate my bot

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

[cold sonnet]

10/10

[modern fiber]

100/10

[whole shoal]

Ayyyyy tysm

[tidal hawk]

All commands are ready to use after I start the bot. As soon as I use one slash command, then all of my slash commands disappear (unavailable to use). Interesting part is that, all of those things worked before, but now suddenly these don't. I even commented out all of my existing commands and created simple ping command, but it still disappears after using it.

[tacit horizon]

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def add(ctx,user : discord.Member):
```how to get the member id from there

[cold sonnet]

user.id

[whole shoal]

user.id

[cold sonnet]

and please remove pass_context

[tacit horizon]

ok

[cold sonnet]

unless you use dpy v1

[cloud dawn]

You are addressing every issue, and not even telling him his actual issue. Keep the comments to yourself if you are just going to insult starter coders.

[cloud dawn]

Do any other commands have this issue?

[livid jacinth]

Okay I want that the bot send a message one time into a channel when a specific user comes online but i dont know how i can disable the loop

[cloud dawn]

Do you register them globally or using a testing mode?

[modern fiber]

It's different for Disnake?

[tidal hawk]

I register these using a testing mode.

[cloud dawn]

afaik not.

[tidal hawk]

Even if I register them globally, they shouldn't appear in the first place (for atleast 1 hour)

[flat solstice]

😕 I have a database, that's what my data variable is containing. I'm expecting this command to be used very infrequently which is why I don't think the channel will be in the cache.

[cloud dawn]

Could you show how you register them and how you construct the bot?

[tidal hawk]

..

[cloud dawn]

Didn't my code help with that? Since we're now only checking if the user was not already online + your additions.

[tidal hawk]

example code:)

[cloud dawn]

I'm assuming you got the command prefix for debug commands. Do those work?

[livid jacinth]

No when i try this code the bot dont send a message

[cloud dawn]

But you just copy pasted the method..?

[tidal hawk]

Positive

[native wedge]

can i put emojis in Author Name ?

[modern fiber]

Huh? :-;

[cloud dawn]

Okay let's grab the old code then.. ```py
@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
if str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == MYID:
channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000)
await channel.send("idk")

[tidal hawk]

Is there a any chance that I've been testing the slash commands too much, thus getting rate limited? if so it still should give an error message..

[native wedge]

can i put custom emojis in Author Name ?

[cloud dawn]

I meant that you literally copied await create_text_channel(name, **options) from the embed

[modern fiber]

Kind of-?

[cloud dawn]

That's not how it works 😅

[modern fiber]

I thought im supposed to lol..

ok so how it works 😂

[cold sonnet]

what do you exactly mean? like in discord?

[native wedge]

yes

embed

sorry real question is can i put custom emoji in embed area named Author Name

[cold sonnet]

well if you just use ctx.author.name and then pass a custom emoji to the string

you can get an emoji with

[livid jacinth]

Because the event check always whether the user is online ig

[native wedge]

if moderator == 1:
                real_moderator = f"![moderator](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/948308112610328637.webp?size=128 "moderator") {username}"

        else:
                real_moderator = f"{username}"

name = real_moderator```

[cold sonnet]

there I have to check...

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel does this method make more sense?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you need the [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") of overwrites with the target (either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite") as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit "discord.TextChannel.edit") will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

This only triggers if something changes inside the members profile. So i have no clue on why it would be "spamming" in your regard.

Yep.

how do i make commands case insensitive

channel = client.get_channel(801446246954827808)
    await channel.send(f"{member} has been **banned** by {ctx.author} for **{reason}**!")

Since I'm making it a public bot, how can I made it so it gets the channel by it's name, not the ID?

[alpine furnace]

This is in the ban event handler? Look at the docs

The object that that’s called with includes a reference to guild

[modern fiber]

Yes, it is.

[modern fiber]

?

I just need it so it takes the channel with the name I typed, not the ID.

How do I do that?

channel = client.get_channel(name=?)

Or? Something like that.

[alpine furnace]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.on_member_ban

[modern fiber]

No man, it doesn't have to do anything with ban. Ignore the other lane

[alpine furnace]

You can’t do that, unfortunately

[modern fiber]

I just need this lane

[modern fiber]

I can.. I just don't know how bruh

you can get the channel, if not, create one

[alpine furnace]

Loop through all the channels in the guild and check if it exists

[modern fiber]

Exactly. How?

[livid jacinth]

How can i stop that the bot spam the message into the channel?

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == MYID:
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")
        pass

[alpine furnace]

Well, you need a reference to the guild in the first place. That comes from the ban event

[kindred epoch]

you can use utils.get to iternate through all the channels in the guild using the channel name

!d disnake.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.utils.get

disnake.utils.get(iterable, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.utils.find "disnake.utils.find").

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

Examples

Basic usage...

[modern fiber]

Where should I use it, and how? Not sure.
What should I put instead of
"channel = client.get_channel(name=?)"

[kindred epoch]

take a look at this link

[alpine furnace]

Yeah, or just for channel in guild.channels: if channel.name == … and isinstance(channel, TextChannel):

[kindred epoch]

thats useless when you have utils.get

[alpine furnace]

That’s why I said or. It might be more expressive, but either way it’s an alternative

[modern fiber]

And what next?

[kindred epoch]

https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/ 👍

[modern fiber]

lol

[alpine furnace]

get(guild.channels, name=“channel name”) if I’m not mistaken

Attrs are kwargs

[kindred epoch]

you literally did the same thing for muted_role

[modern fiber]

I didn't know you can do same for the channels?

[alpine furnace]

Look at the type hints

It’s literally the same thing

[livid jacinth]

How can i stop that the bot spam the message into the channel?

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == MYID:
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")
        pass

[kindred epoch]

i told you to read the docs for it?

it has what you need?

[native wedge]

how do i make it so
if it reaches else, make it like do nothing and continue the thing

[kindred epoch]

instead of return do pass

[cold sonnet]

discord.utils.get 👀

[alpine furnace]

filter()

😛

[cold sonnet]

?

just use discord.utils.get

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, **attrs)```

[cold sonnet]

pass guild.channels as the first arg, name="blabla" as the kwarg

[alpine furnace]

I know

That’s what was said above

[native wedge]

why doesnt my emoji work in Author Name?

[modern fiber]

it doesn't work for me in any

not embed, the normal ctx

it doesn't work

[livid jacinth]

How can i stop that the bot spam the message into the channel?

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == MYID:
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")
        pass

[final iron]

iirc can't do it in embed titles

[native wedge]

:( ok

[rotund creek]

Can you have nultiple task.loop

[final iron]

Yes

[rotund creek]

So its error with my code

Thanks

[void elm]

is there a better way of doing this?

[rotund creek]

@final iron

Why is my tasks.loop not working

If I paste my code into my first tasks.loop it works

Not the second

[velvet tinsel]

why are you doing "Team".lower() and stuff

[final iron]

Can you show a screenshot of the entire function?

[rotund creek]

Oh im dumb

[final iron]

I don't understand what you're doing

[rotund creek]

I have to start the task

[void elm]

those are just temporary

[velvet tinsel]

fellow pep8 compliance officer *salutes*

[rotund creek]

variableName

[void elm]

I meant for the "elif" statements

[void elm]

yes,

[rotund creek]

Why

[rotund creek]

Cringe

[final iron]

Can you show what variable is?

I have no idea what you're doing

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @void elm!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.zip). We currently allow the following file types: .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .png, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .webm, .webp, .flac, .m4a, .csv, .json.

Feel free to ask in #community-meta if you think this is a mistake.

[final iron]

I'm still super confused

[tidal hawk]

What's the best way to create reminders in Discord?
I thought about storing each reminder in json...

[final iron]

Don't use json

[tidal hawk]

Yeah, that's why im asking a better method

[sick birch]

Use a database

[tidal hawk]

Like how am i supposed to create it in aiosqlite

oh

[sick birch]

You can store the UNIX timestamp

3 columns, reminder ID, user ID, and timestamp

[tidal hawk]

reminder id?

[sick birch]

yes, generate a random UUID

[void elm]

is there a better way than
if True:
return
elif True:
return
...ect

[sick birch]

if True: will always execute so you can get rid of the whole thing

[void elm]

^

[sick birch]

These 2 are equivalent:

if True:
  print("Hello, world")

vs

print("Hello, world")

Oh I see

[sick birch]

are you trying to create commands?

[void elm]

run command files but yes

[tidal hawk]

I should also create a column for reminder content, no?

[sick birch]

You could do that yeah

What might be more efficient is to store the message ID

[sick birch]

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

[tidal hawk]

but what is UUID for

[sick birch]

To identify a reminder

[rotund creek]

Why is channel none

The channel exists

[sick birch]

Fetch it by ID rather than name

[rotund creek]

Alr ill try that thanks

[void elm]

thx

[rotund creek]

@sick birch its still nonr

[sick birch]

Can we see the updated code?

[rotund creek]

Yea

[livid jacinth]

How can i stop that the bot spam the message into the channel?

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == MYID:
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")
        pass

[rotund creek]

Sry about photos

On 2 devices

[sick birch]

Why not just guild.get_channel(id) or await guild.fetch_channel(id)

That way you're getting from the internal cache

[rotund creek]

Oh ok

[kindred drum]

yo TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'datetime.datetime' the code is py if str(payload.emoji) == str(Giveaway_Items[i]['Emoji']) and time.time() < datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(e_time):

not sure why i get the error

[sick birch]

time.time() < datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(e_time)

You're comparing 2 different objects

[kindred drum]

time.time isn't a date time object?

[kindred drum]

.

[sick birch]

Let me check if it is

Looks like it's a float which matches up

[livid jacinth]

How can i stop that the bot spam the message into the channel?
I tryed that the bot send a message to an channel if a specific person comes online. But if the person comes online the bot spam the message permanently.

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == MYID:
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")
        pass

[sick birch]

You're comparing a float to a datetime.datetime object

You can't compare primitive datatypes to objects

[kindred drum]

ah how do I convert it

datetime.time.time

[sick birch]

You need to figure out what common format makes the most sense for your specific use-case

[kindred drum]

?now = datetime.datetime.now()

[sick birch]

That also returns a datetime object

But if you replace time.time() with datetime.datetime.now() you should be able to compare them

(I think, I haven't worked with the datetime library all that much)

[kindred drum]

now < datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(e_time):

(:

[frank tartan]

How can I add the bottom part to my embeds?

[sick birch]

embed.set_footer(...)

[frank tartan]

Yes but how did they do the logo and time?

[sick birch]

!d discord.Embed.set_footer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_footer

set_footer(*, text=Embed.Empty, icon_url=Embed.Empty)```
Sets the footer for the embed content.

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

[frank tartan]

O

[sick birch]

like a so

[frank tartan]

And the time?

[left crater]

how can i send a file in an embed?

[sick birch]

Nothing special about the time, it's just text

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-use-a-local-image-file-for-an-embed-image

[pliant gulch]

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[left crater]

thanks

[frank tartan]

Ik but that shows the time in my local time. It shows a different time for different users. But when I try it, it just shows the utc time or a bunch of numbers

[hoary cargo]

Timestamp

[sick birch]

Hm I'm not sure if discord timestamps are valid at the footer

[frank tartan]

I’ve tried that too, but I can’t get it to work

[left crater]

what if i want to send files at random

[hoary cargo]

Well, any errors?

[frank tartan]

Yes, but it’s been a while so I don’t remember them

[pliant gulch]

You'd do the same thing as you would normally, except probably use f-strings to change the names of the files etc

[left crater]

what do i put for filename?

[pliant gulch]

The name of the file

[left crater]

but i have like 60

[sick birch]

Pick the one you want to send

Oh i just saw you want random

If that's in a JSON you can load it and random.choice()

if not you can get all the files in a folder (one containing all of your images) and random.choice() that too

[left crater]

what do i put for filename?

[sick birch]

Use os.listdir() to get a list of all files in a folder

[left crater]

ok

[sick birch]

In your case get all the files in your nft folder

[left crater]

i did that

and it works

and it sends

[sick birch]

Or since it looks like you have all the files neatly arranged,

f"\path\to\nft\folder\images{random.choice(range(60))}.jpg"

[left crater]

but i want it to send in an embed

[sick birch]

Use this to construct a discord.File object from the path name

[halcyon sparrow]

Is there any way I test my kick command? I don't have anyone to test it on

[left crater]

invite a bot

then kick him

[halcyon sparrow]

Alright brb. The library I'm using doest have tutorials on it and I'm not very good at documentation understanding

[left crater]

@sick birch files = discord.File(f"C:\Users\nikit\Downloads\nft\images{randnum}", filename=f"image{randnum}.jpg") nfts_Emb.set_image(url=) i did this and i have no clue what to put for the url

[sick birch]

attachment://image.png

[left crater]

wdym by attachment?

[sick birch]

Or the name of the file you're going to send

attachment://<filename>

It would be easier if you just did

files = discord.File(..., filename="image.jpg")

[sick birch]

Also make sure you include the .jpg at the end of the f string

[left crater]

oh yeah

cog file ^^

```py

    bot.load_extension("cogs.status")```

main file ^^ 

Why are my commands not defined?

[slim ibex]

oh no. loading cogs in on ready

[slim ibex]

why return(quote)

[sick birch]

Few things to point out:

1. don't load extensions on_ready
2. filenames should be snake_cased
3. subclass HelpCommand
   just some things to point out but the actual issue isn't with any of those

[scarlet aurora]

that's just the function for getting the quote from the api

[final iron]

Requests isn't async
2.
Why are you listening for an on_message event then doing nothing
3.
on_message doesn't take bot
4.
Don't create a custom help command, just subclass it

[slim ibex]

but why (quote)? just do return quote?

[slate swan]

why use docstrings and not \n lol

[slate swan]

useless () tbh

[slim ibex]

thats what im saying

[slate swan]

loll

[sick birch]

You don't have to process_commands() within a listener, and I'm pretty sure listeners don't pick up your own messages anyway

[sick birch]

Perhaps a javascript developer

[slate swan]

and why use json.loads?

just use the json method requests has

[sick birch]

The funniest part is we've found every issue except what they asked for 😂

[slim ibex]

LMAO

true

[scarlet aurora]

i fixed the problems

[sick birch]

That was fast

[slate swan]

which issue out of all of them

[sick birch]

Can we see the new & updated code?

[sick birch]

None, their issue was why the extension wasn't being loaded

I'm guessing that's a direct result of all the other issues

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slim ibex]

someone come to ot channel

[slate swan]

why

[slim ibex]

got question about js/ts

[scarlet aurora]

is 4 optional?

[slate swan]

@sick birch

[slim ibex]

you don't have to subclass help command, but its recommended

[sick birch]

sure what's up

[final iron]

Yes but it's highly recommend

[slate swan]

random module

[sick birch]

Just pick a random number between 1-100, add % to the end of it

[slim ibex]

so i wanna be a backend developer mainly and I think I'm going to focus mostly on backend dev with rust and c#. But, I know I probably should learn JS in the process (which I already know some JS). I just wanted to know if the difference between TS and JS is that big to warrant me using TS over JS

[sick birch]

I would say always use TS over JS, there's really no reason not to

[slim ibex]

yeah thats what i thought

[final iron]

What's the difference between js and ts?

[slate swan]

yeah and use .randint

[slim ibex]

type system

[sick birch]

TS is strongly typed, i.e you can do types like so:

const someVariable: string = "Hello, world!";

[slate swan]

?

[sick birch]

Also generics, and a lot of other features

[scarlet aurora]

random.randint()

[sick birch]

Let's not take away from the channel topic, I think if you all want to discuss this further I would be more than happy to in one of the OT channels

[slim ibex]

TS should be relatively easy since I know some c# and rust, right? And I should also learn JS before TS?

[scarlet aurora]

u need to fill the ()

[slate swan]

!e

print(__import__("random").randint(0, 100))

[unkempt canyon]

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

[scarlet aurora]

yeah

[slate swan]

really need to add the start😔

[scarlet aurora]

my commands still aren't defined

[vast gale]

smh this isn't Javascript

we don't add characters

[sick birch]

str() and add

useless f string and why doc strings and not \n

i prefer it laid out and f strings will come in use later on

sooo, my actual problem?

[slim ibex]

docstrings are laid out

[slate swan]

[scarlet aurora]

ik but i prefer it laid out in the code so i have an idea of what it will look like

[scarlet aurora]

so can someone tell me why it isn't defined

[slate swan]

did you add the cog

[scarlet aurora]

yes

oh

[final iron]

Define commands

[left crater]

so do i use format to get the random thing

[scarlet aurora]

;-;

[final iron]

Nice job leaking your token

[green bluff]

oops

[scarlet aurora]

bro ur token is there

[green bluff]

xD

im not really experienced

with voice channels

any help

[final iron]

Don't name your commands.Bot instance client

[scarlet aurora]

can u elaborate

[final iron]

Name it bot

[final iron]

If you don't know how to define something dpy really isn't for you

[green bluff]

then/

[final iron]

You'll have an extremely hard time without any prior python knowledge

[scarlet aurora]

i know how to define stuff, it's already defined, can u tell me how to define the error i'm having

[final iron]

Function names should be in snake_case, not camelCase

[left crater]

sir why are u using replit

[green bluff]

me well

[final iron]

No

[green bluff]

cause im on my school laptop and specs r garbage

like all school laptops r

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scarlet aurora]

did u see the code i sent

[left crater]

thats fair
