[maiden fable]

tf is target now istg dpy internals

[manic wing]

i think its because TICKET_CATEGORY is not a category

hence the failing of target.id

[maiden fable]

could be

[junior falcon]

TICKET_CATEGORY = bot.get_channel(TICKET_CATEGORY_ID)```

[manic wing]

nope not that

[maiden fable]

@junior falcon can u show the whole command?

[junior falcon]

sure

[manic wing]

what are overwrites?

print(overwrites)

hm?

[slate swan]

nothing smh, wanted to ask something

[maiden fable]

lemme see

go on

[manic wing]

ill take a punt that your overwrites are wrong

whats SEE_TICKETS

[junior falcon]

a role id

[manic wing]

you need to pass role object

[maiden fable]

or a discord.Object

[manic wing]

hence the error - do ctx.guild.get_role(id)

[honest vessel]

@manic wing👋🏻

[manic wing]

hello

[honest vessel]

tbh i think the green background is wrong color for the syntax highlight hard to see

a dark color would be good

anyone here who is owner of website? maybe can fix a darktheme n light theme?

[silk kelp]

why is the name the same as what its defined as, does that change anything?

[honest vessel]

not my code - i just complained on how bad it is to read even

only change font made a big diffrence

[cold sonnet]

I don't see the problem

maybe TICKET_CATEGORY being undefined

[boreal ravine]

@manic wing

[manic wing]

what

[junior falcon]

I really dont get whats wrong with my code

How does embed work on bot?
Like how do i set it up to send messages as embed?

[maiden fable]

send method has an embed kwarg

[honest vessel]

@junior falcontbh dont know man :S

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[honest vessel]

i dont know if this matter but

overwrites = {
        discord.Guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=False),
        ctx.author: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True),
        discord.Guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True),
        SEE_TICKETS: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True), }

[honest vessel]

i guess dosnt matter

[junior falcon]

oh fixed let me see

Same error

[honest vessel]

ofc, but here is i think ur error is about

TICKET_CATEGORY = discord.utils.get(GUILD.categories, name=TICKET_CATEGORY_NAME)

ticket_channel = await TICKET_CATEGORY.create_text_channel(f"{ctx.author.name}-{ctx.author.discriminator}", overwrites=overwrites)

[junior falcon]

if i print this it return the right category

[honest vessel]

you dont want await TICKET_CATEGORY.create_text_channel()

you want ctx.guild.create_text_channel("name of channel", category=TICKET_CATEGORY)

something like that

[maiden fable]

weird, it should have been there

[honest vessel]

i mean his create_text_channel dosnt know what guild

and create_text_channel has a category

krwarg

[nimble plume]

Use ticket create embed channel category as category

[junior falcon]

it worked

thank you so much

one more thing

how i get the avatar of a member?

ctx.author.avatar?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.avatar

property avatar```
Equivalent to [`User.avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.avatar "discord.User.avatar")

[maiden fable]

yea haha

[nimble plume]

Yes

In discord.py yes

[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 

[mint grail]

what command is it using discord py, for making the bot send a message without a member using a a command if that makes sense. I have an auto update code and i want the bot to send a message every 10 minutes. I just need help on how i can make the bot send a message?

[nimble plume]

Wait

[slim ibex]

you can use a task to handle timed events

[whole brook]

Hello everyone, I'm looking for someone who can finish me a discord bot, I don't know anything and the person who does it for me is absent, I pay for it, I give the details in pm

[slim ibex]

!rule 9

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

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

[honest vessel]

no problemos

[mint grail]

i have that part figured out, but i need the command that makes the bot send a message

[honest vessel]

that will never happen

[livid jacinth]

Okay

[slim ibex]

you want the bot to execute a command in the task?

[honest vessel]

u can tell anyway would be nice to know probally has some invoke todo

[mint grail]

yeah i want it to send a message, not when a member uses a command

[slim ibex]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

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

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") holds internally.

Note

This does not handle converters, checks, cooldowns, pre-invoke, or after-invoke hooks in any matter. It calls the internal callback directly as-if it was a regular function.

You must take care in passing the proper arguments when using this function.

sorry i just got here i didn't see, if someone can help me

[silk kelp]

ok

[nimble plume]

Im not a spammer 🥺

[grim robin]

is there a limit on how often you can call chan.edit()?

[slim ibex]

you could probably get rate limited if you make too many API requests at the same time or close together

[honest vessel]

you dont seem to bring much to this channel atm

[nimble plume]

Not me

[honest vessel]

adding: try be normal and not abuse API that much for no real purpose and ur fine

[grim robin]

I'm not making too many at the same time, I'm trying to update a single channel's name to show the number of people in it and after the 3rd call of .edit() it stops refreshing the name, as if .edit() is stuck on a loop or something, making commands like chan.delete() unable to work as well. (each call of edit has at least 3-4 secs from the previous if not more)

[honest vessel]

channels dosnt update that often its cached - therefor u try edit but wont see a change - untill some time went by

[slate swan]

whats the scope of bot variables

[final iron]

You can access them anywhere

Doesn't even have to be in the file

[slate swan]

ok

and any idea how to delete a bot variable

hey im trying to sdit the message when click the reaction edit the numbers of the clicks

[final iron]

Don't use json as a database

[honest vessel]

!e
myvar = "monkey"
del myvar
print(myvar)

so in my cog, i am subclassing ui View, will bot variables be accesible there

[honest vessel]

#discord-bots message like this?

[slate swan]

it works , but the count stay in 1 elif the json file shows its 1 that need to add 1 to the clicks

[slate swan]

yeah i got that

someone knows why?

[slate swan]

;-;

[junior falcon]

Why i get this error? when i try to use an image from local? it worked in another embed

[stiff nexus]

how to get the author in on_raw_message_edit?

[manic wing]

!d discord.on_raw_message_edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_message\_edit

discord.on_raw_message_edit(payload)```
Called when a message is edited. Unlike [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message_edit "discord.on_message_edit"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

If the message is found in the message cache, it can be accessed via [`RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message "discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message"). The cached message represents the message before it has been edited. For example, if the content of a message is modified and triggers the [`on_raw_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_edit "discord.on_raw_message_edit") coroutine, the [`RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message "discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message") will return a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") object that represents the message before the content was modified.

Due to the inherently raw nature of this event, the data parameter coincides with the raw data given by the [gateway](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#message-update).

[manic wing]

you would have to get/fetch the message from the message id possibly

how to @ a user

[maiden fable]

!d discord.User.mention

discord.User.mention

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

[slate swan]

forgot havent done this in ages lmao

[ornate linden]

another problem with my ascii art, it either escapes the ``` or has leftover backslashes

i guess i could .replace ``` with ''' but id really prefer not to

[modern fiber]

Any clue why it doesn't ban the person?

# ---- Ban Command
@client.command(description="Bans an user.") #ban
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def ban (ctx, user:disnake.User=None, *, reason=None):
 try:
    if (user == None):
         await ctx.channel.send("You have to specify an user!")
         return
    if (reason == None):
        await ctx.channel.send("You have to specify a reason!")
        return
    if (user == ctx.message.author or user == None):
        await ctx.send("You cannot ban yourself!")

    message = f"You have been banned from **{ctx.guild.name}** for **{reason}**! You may be able to appeal your ban at ///
    await user.send(message)
    await ctx.guild.ban(user, reason=reason)
    await ctx.channel.send(f"{user} is succesfully banned for {reason}! Jeez.")
    channel = disnake.utils.get(ctx.guild.channels, name="protech-logs")
    await channel.send(f"{user} has been **banned** by {ctx.author} for a reason: **{reason}**")
 except:
    await ctx.send(f"I cannot ban {user}! *(I am unable to ban a bot / an owner).*")```

Here is the code.

[ornate linden]

if any error occurs in any of that it defaults to the error you're getting

try putting just the ctx.guild.ban inside the try:except

[modern fiber]

Wdym

[ornate linden]

the line await ctx.guild.ban(user, reason=reason) is what actually bans the user

[modern fiber]

Yeah, right

[ornate linden]

so why have all of the other user.send, ctx.channel.send, etc in a try: block?

it's probably an error on await user.send() because they've blocked the bot or smth

and because it's erroring there it never makes it to the await ctx.guild.ban

also your variable message is never closed

[modern fiber]

Why does it need to be?

It works fine-

[modern fiber]

Yeah I get it.. well what should I do?

[ornate linden]

move the try:except so ctx.guild.ban is the only thing in it

close your message variable

try:except is suppressing syntax errors

[silk kelp]

keep your pc on

[ornate linden]

also @modern fiber you can have the bot see if the user you're trying to ban is the guild owner/a bot

iirc member.is_bot() and member.is_guild_owner()

[modern fiber]

So I should just do that instead of the current error I got? Will it fix?

[ornate linden]

sorry?

[slim ibex]

there are some issues with this:

1. Bare Except (you can except CommandInvokeError
2. Python doesn’t require parenthesis for if and elif blocks
3. Don’t use client, use commands.Bot (I assume you are using discord.Client because of @client.command)
4. sending the message to the user will fail if they have DMs closed
5. user.ban
6. typehint to discord.Member
7. ctx.send instead of ctx.channel.send
8. why if user == ctx.message.author or user == None?

[ornate linden]

thx @slim ibex

[slim ibex]

I would typehint to disnake.Member instead of user also

[ornate linden]

also there's a return missing on your third if statement

[modern fiber]

Should I do it like this?

[ornate linden]

if it's in the except block it will only run if the ban fails

[slate swan]

hh

[modern fiber]

so I should use else?

[silk kelp]

user.is_bot()

[modern fiber]

else:
user.is_bot()
await ctx.send("bla bla bla")

?

[silk kelp]

else:
  if user.is_bot():
    await ctx.send("yeah")

[slim ibex]

@modern fiber ^^

[modern fiber]

Okay, thanks

[modern fiber]

Can I add like another else under it?

or should I use "or"?

[slim ibex]

no there can’t be multiple else

[slate swan]

!d discord.User.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.bot

Specifies if the user is a bot account.

[slim ibex]

and please read up on what or actually does

[modern fiber]

Yeah but I need it to check both if the user is bot / or an owner

[silk kelp]

yeah you can use or

[ornate linden]

or make different messages for either

[modern fiber]

Exactly, but then I will add another else or "or"?

[silk kelp]

if user.is_owner or user.is_bot:

you won't need an or if you have an if statement for each fail event

put a backslash before you send an emoji to get the raw emoji.

e.g

📝

with backslash
\📝

[junior falcon]

but some emoji with backslash return the text

[ornate linden]

oh that's neat, didn't know that

[silk kelp]

thats with custom emojis, those work, just copy the text

[junior falcon]

oke thanks

use emoji unicodes or <:name:id> format

or if its a nitro emoji its <a:name:id>

Can you help me connect those two "if" statements? My brain kinda stopped working.

use elif in your try at the start,

should I use elif for the second if statement or?

the two if statements arent indented

any if statement in the same indent after the first should be elif

     await ctx.send(f"I cannot ban {user}! *(I am unable to ban a bot / an owner).*")```

[silk kelp]

yeah

[slate swan]

upvotes

[modern fiber]

What's wrong with my else statement?

@silk kelp

[silk kelp]

also elif ctx.guild.owner.id == member.id

so it doesnt try to ban the owner

[slate swan]

why not use the bot property instead of a method?

[silk kelp]

the if statement after it isnt indented

[modern fiber]

It's a public bot, ID won't work

[modern fiber]

How should I make it to be indented?

[silk kelp]

highlight the if and elif statements and press tab

aswell as all the code inside of it, just indent it once it should work

[silk kelp]

or just check the member id with the bots id

[slate swan]

i dont even know why people make simple things complex

[silk kelp]

thats coding in a nutshell

[modern fiber]

how do I highlight them

[slate swan]

just indent them s.m.h.

[slim ibex]

a ban command shouldn’t be this complicated. You can extract certain things into separate methods so you don’t have this one large command that is hard to track

[cold sonnet]

ctx.channel.send

[slate swan]

So i'm building a role selector bot. Is there a way to create a user timeout per use. What i mean by that is something that prevents the same person clicking a ton of roles over and over causing the bot to lag or freeze?

[slim ibex]

ikr

[silk kelp]

select

[silk kelp]

i mean my ban command is complicated because it checks if the user trying to ban doesnt have a lower top role pos than the user they are banning

[modern fiber]

Like this man?

[silk kelp]

yes

[modern fiber]

What's wrong with else statement?

[slate swan]

just ban the user from the server and enjoy

[spring flax]

How do i see if a user is on timeout?

[slim ibex]

@modern fiber your code is over complicated and hard to read. I recommend you refactor it and it will be way easier to write and understand

[maiden fable]

!d disnake.Member.communication_disabled_until

[unkempt canyon]

Certainly not.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[maiden fable]

Hmm lemme see

[modern fiber]

I always make shit complicated 😂
Can you just help me whats currently wrong with me "else" statement? Ill work on redoing those sometime I get more time

[maiden fable]

heh?

[slate swan]

hah i don't want to do that

[maiden fable]

!d disnake.Member.current_timeout

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.current\_timeout

property current_timeout```
Returns the datetime when the timeout expires, if any.

New in version 2.3.

[slate swan]

wait i ran the wrong command, im high

[spring flax]

Huh

[maiden fable]

@slate swan have u ever made an antispam?

[last moss]

Wait how do you check if the bot is in a voice channel

[spring flax]

Wonder how that came up lol

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.voice

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.voice

property voice: Optional[discord.member.VoiceState]```
Returns the member’s current voice state.

[last moss]

and if so how do you return the voice object

[maiden fable]

ctx.guild.me.voice

[slate swan]

is there a way to prevent command spam

[last moss]

tok

[silk kelp]

do you have an if statement above it

[slim ibex]

What does your linter say about those squiggly lines

[silk kelp]

command cooldowns

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[slate swan]

does that work per user or just as a whole

[slim ibex]

you can make it work for users or the whole guild

[silk kelp]

too bad you can still spam commands and spam the error

[maiden fable]

depends on the BucketType

[maiden fable]

then get some rest (:

[slate swan]

channel, guild, user, whatever you want

thank you i'll check that out!

def want user

[maiden fable]

u do know that there is an on_command_error event, right?

[modern fiber]

I got those

[silk kelp]

no i mean the message that the error handler sends

[maiden fable]

Yea, user checks for cross server cooldowns whereas member checks only for a single server cooldown

[slate swan]

nothing gonna happen, im tired 24/7

oh that makes sense

[silk kelp]

else is used like this

if my_dog == "Cute":
  print("ok")
else:
  ...

[maiden fable]

simply just timeout the person in that case

[maiden fable]

that sucks 😔

[slim ibex]

so many pep8 violations

[modern fiber]

can I dm you?

[maiden fable]

👀 good thing @final iron isn't here

[slate swan]

is there a way to add that to @client.event?

[slim ibex]

ikr

[maiden fable]

ot but I just came to know today that I suck at Valo and Apex both (but I suck more at Valo lmao)

[slate swan]

prob not i can see how that would be confusing

[silk kelp]

but im not always online, i might do something like

blacklist = []
blacklist.append(ctx.author.id)
await asyncio.sleep(5)
blacklist.remove(ctx.author.id)
@bot.event
async def on_command(ctx):
  if ctx.author.id in blacklist:
    return

[maiden fable]

Yea blacklisting the best

[silk kelp]

ofc i can make it better, thats just a small snippet

[slim ibex]

@modern fiber let me give you some suggestions:

1. Extract this into separate functions
2. Follow PEP8 (ex: no parenthesis in if statements
3. Read disnake docs
4. It seems like you know some Python, but maybe learn a bit more before continuing

[silk kelp]

i just need to make a command.before_invoke which im really confused on its syntax @maiden fable

[kindred oracle]

Hey

[maiden fable]

its just a simple deco

[maiden fable]

Hi

[slim ibex]

you are speaking in the presence of a diamond 3 ranked valorant player (ot)

[maiden fable]

Meh, I wasn't even able to do a single kill today in valo

[slim ibex]

🗿

[kindred oracle]

Anyone ever managed to make a bot send a message throught the console?

[spring flax]

What are unique things one can put in a userinfo command? Like things not seen often

[kindred oracle]

I have been trying for a half an hour and if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

[slim ibex]

print function in a command ?

what do you mean send a message through the console

[kindred oracle]

the other way around

from the console to the channel

[silk kelp]

it doesnt work like that for me for some reason

[spring flax]

What are you doing right now?

[maiden fable]

code

[last moss]

🤔 I did voice= await channel.connect() to get the voice object but how would I get this object if I already was in a vc

[spring flax]

@bot.command()
async def example(ctx):
    await ctx.send("example")

@kindred oracle

[kindred oracle]

Long story short my bot is in a server which I abadoned a long time ago and I would like to talk with them first of all. For now I just made a logger and asked for an invite for me to join.

[slate swan]

voice object?

[kindred oracle]

thanks

[last moss]

ctx.voiceclient?

[slate swan]

yes that works?

[last moss]

ok thanks

[slate swan]

!d discord.VoiceClient.is_connected

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceClient.is\_connected

is_connected()```
Indicates if the voice client is connected to voice.

[slate swan]

will check if its in a channel already or not

[maiden fable]

wait that's a thing?

nvm it is voice_client

[slate swan]

yeah

[maiden fable]

I thought u meant ctx.voiceclient is a thing lol

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.voice_client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.voice\_client

property voice_client: Optional[VoiceProtocol]```
A shortcut to [`Guild.voice_client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.voice_client "discord.Guild.voice_client"), if applicable.

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

I mean, they said ctx.voiceclient and u said yeah, soooooo

[silk kelp]

@commands.command()
@commands.before_invoke()
async def mycommand(self, ctx):
  print("i want to die")

[slate swan]

i mean, you can remove the underscore if you want

[maiden fable]

no thanks

[maiden fable]

👀

[maiden fable]

that isn't how it works

@bot.command()
async def cmd(...):
    . . .


@cmd.before_invoke()
async def before_cmd(...):
    . . . 

[slate swan]

mess with the internals

[maiden fable]

Yes. Time to use a for loop and setattr to remove the _ and set the aliases of each attr :D

and then get bullied by PEP8 followers

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

worshippers*

[maiden fable]

PEP8 officers 👀

[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 

or does anyone know an other way to let send my bot a message if a specific person comes online?

[maiden fable]

oh still didn't fix it?

[livid jacinth]

Yes i dont know how. I dont know the problem

[slate swan]

spam?

[maiden fable]

show yr on_message event

[slate swan]

can you show MYID var though

[maiden fable]

Its his/her ID

[livid jacinth]

Yes

[slate swan]

data types

[maiden fable]

@livid jacinth is it an int?

[livid jacinth]

I just replace my id with the word

[livid jacinth]

What do you mean?

[maiden fable]

the variable MYID

[slate swan]

uh did you put the id in quotes

[echo lagoon]

Is it an int or str?

[maiden fable]

also, @livid jacinth show yr on_message event

[slate swan]

i'll leave, help god here to help

[maiden fable]

lmao why tho

[slate swan]

why not

[livid jacinth]

No i just have one on_message event

[maiden fable]

show

[maiden fable]

cz half my brain cells are already dead

[livid jacinth]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content == ('prefix'):
        with open("prefixes.json", "r") as f:
            prefixes = json.load(f)
        
        pre = prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]

        embed=discord.Embed(color=0xffffff)
        embed.add_field(name="Serverprefix:", value=f'**The server prefix is "{pre}"**')

        await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
        await message.add_reaction('📧')

[tidal hawk]

very creative username, you have

[slate swan]

yeshhh, char the remaining

[maiden fable]

that is why I am here

[livid jacinth]

That is the on_message event

[maiden fable]

add this at the top of the function:

if message.author == bot.user:
    return

[slate swan]

which isn gonna solve the problem

[echo lagoon]

^

Ya know what - ima just run the damn code myself - see if I get the same results

[livid jacinth]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content == ('prefix'):
        if message.author == bot.user:
            return
        with open("prefixes.json", "r") as f:
            prefixes = json.load(f)
        
        pre = prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]

        embed=discord.Embed(color=0xffffff)
        embed.add_field(name="Serverprefix:", value=f'**The server prefix is "{pre}"**')

        await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
        await message.add_reaction('📧')
``` So?

[maiden fable]

hmmm idk someone else advised to do it but they most probably missed the message so I am just telling them to do so lol

[slate swan]

did you put the id in quotes or not @livid jacinth

[maiden fable]

lmao ash do be pissed

[livid jacinth]

No

[slate swan]

nah me happy

[maiden fable]

the emoji says otherwise but okay 👀

[slate swan]

okay.....can you run the code again and show the output?

[modern fiber]

It doesn't send any output..? @slim ibex

[slate swan]

so in my cog, i am subclassing ui View, will bot variables be accesible there

also, pretty sure you ca use a presence event if you are above dpy 2.0 or on forks or api wrappers

[maiden fable]

or api wrappers?

wym by that 👀

[livid jacinth]

No it did't worked

[slate swan]

other maintained

[livid jacinth]

The bot spam the message again

[novel geyser]

Got a question. I'm trying to make a system where if someone tags the channel in their argument, it sends a message in that channel but I'm not sure how to do that

[slate swan]

just add a bot argument in the init function and pass bot when you subclass it?

[manic wing]

whats an api

[maiden fable]

bruh

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[maiden fable]

half my brain cells are already dead and am sleepy, don't make me shout at u lmao

[slim ibex]

LMAO

[slate swan]

ok ty

[novel geyser]

When they tag the channel, it prints out as <#id> I want to turn that into a channel object but I don't know how to do that

[maiden fable]

wait where u sending 123 in code?

[slate swan]

i see its getting triggered multiple times

[maiden fable]

u r sending idk according to the code

[slate swan]

dont make me cry now

[maiden fable]

actually u solved half the issue by telling them to send a screenshot

[livid jacinth]

yes i but i replaced in my code

just the message

[maiden fable]

stop playing with us rn and stick to one code please

[slate swan]

lmao

[echo lagoon]

huh, dunno wtf i did wrong, im not getting any events ; - ;

[maiden fable]

lmao

[maiden fable]

u need members intent iirc

[echo lagoon]

i do have intents enabled

[maiden fable]

Ah wait

[maiden fable]

u using dpy 2.0?

[echo lagoon]

yes

[maiden fable]

!d discord.on_presence_update if u r using 2.0

[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...

[echo lagoon]

yes, both members, and presence is enabled, as shown

[maiden fable]

....?

[echo lagoon]

ow wait

[maiden fable]

Thanks for killing my remaining brain cells

[slate swan]

why even enable intents explicity when you can have them all

[echo lagoon]

is that different naming for method?

[maiden fable]

yea...

[echo lagoon]

my bad, thx

[maiden fable]

on_presence_update smh

[echo lagoon]

well, he aint wrong

it do be spamming it

[maiden fable]

I think I will just go away from here 😔

[slate swan]

presence event?

[echo lagoon]

i feel, you'd have to add a couple mins cooldown before its invoked again

[maiden fable]

u using discord.py?

[echo lagoon]

yes

[maiden fable]

@slate swan can u try reproducing this bug with disnake/any other fork please? I cannot really open VSC rn

[slate swan]

im on phone myself

[echo lagoon]

dpy2.0. . hol up ill try asking in dpy disc

[maiden fable]

😔

Seems like I will have to open VSC

[slate swan]

i dont think disnake's gonna have that bug tbh

[maiden fable]

Yea most probably its a dpy bug which was fixed in disnake but who knows

Lemme ask

[echo lagoon]

unless its an api bug ;-;

doubt that tho

[maiden fable]

It shouldn't be

[slate swan]

imma head out, good luck both

[echo lagoon]

thx, anyhow the best i can say is adding some form of timer, giving it a 30 second refresh ig

[maiden fable]

Yea await asyncio.sleep seems like a viable option

[slate swan]

spamming idk every 30 sec

[maiden fable]

BTW imagine if messages were sent through the gateway 😔

[velvet tinsel]

lmao your server chat is gonna die

[slate swan]

define a common variable, change it to 1 whenever the event is triggered and use conditionals to check that, then put up a task of 5 mins to reset the variable to 0 so that you can flex that your bot runs on cheap binary

[maiden fable]

I think I will just go from here before all my brain cells die, trying to understand what u just said cz I am a bit too sleepy lmao

[velvet tinsel]

go to sleep hunter

[maiden fable]

gotta complete this chapter first

[velvet tinsel]

before you know it you'll be using pop in dictionaries

[tacit horizon]

give me tiktakto code with button ._.

[maiden fable]

see the dpy repo

[velvet tinsel]

what is tiktakto

[maiden fable]

it has a ttt example

[livid jacinth]

I've do it like u but now the bot dont send anymessage

[tacit horizon]

Tic-Tac-Toe

[echo lagoon]

oh dpy2.0 changes the method name, your <2.0 so should stick with the method name you had

gimme 2 seconds and ill give you a fixed up version . . .

[velvet tinsel]

oh okay

[slate swan]

hey, try removing the pass

[velvet tinsel]

oh when I was looking at the code I was wondering why there was a pass in there lmao

[tacit horizon]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'ActionRow' object has no attribute 'label'
what is that

[modest plover]

For using postgresql with a Discord bot, what's a good enough free cloud host?

[slate swan]

heroku? maybe

[maiden fable]

Well the pass keyword is just a dummy keyword just for the sake of completing the syntax to prevent getting any syntax errors, so it is useless there, but doesn't really affect anything

[maiden fable]

iirc it works only for 22 or smth days a month

[modest plover]

Mhm

[echo lagoon]

welp, shouldnt make a difference if theres a pass at the end tho

[slate swan]

even the database? ew

[maiden fable]

yea

[velvet tinsel]

it just is weird

[modest plover]

It's like 1000 hours a month

[velvet tinsel]

it's like a space before the opening bracket in print statements

[maiden fable]

I mean, u r still getting 22 days on the free plan, what else do u expect from them lmao

[livid jacinth]

Okee

[maiden fable]

500*

[echo lagoon]

fml, my syntax highlighting just gone whack ; - ;

[maiden fable]

1000 hours are like 40 days lmao

[slate swan]

meh, id rather use the jsonbase api 😔

[modest plover]

I'm looking at the thing and it says 550-1000 Dyno hours per month

[maiden fable]

or just look into https://deta.sh ezzz

[modest plover]

Oo, that deta thing seems good, would I be able to use it for hosting a db?

[maiden fable]

They have their own DB, like postgres is one, mongo is another and stuff

[modest plover]

I'd use SQLite3 but I forgot I need to access the db on my pc too

[modest plover]

Ohhh, ok.

[maiden fable]

https://docs.deta.sh/docs/drive/about

https://docs.deta.sh/docs/base/about

NoSQL DB

[slate swan]

damn , this is some good stuff, I'll use it for my next school project

[maiden fable]

I tried to run a discord bot on there, well the only reason it didn't work was cz the website dies as soon as someone logs off off it, soooooooo

[slate swan]

how do i get bot.commands as a list rather than a set

lol

[maiden fable]

Sure it is damn good

[modest plover]

So do I use base for the db?

[maiden fable]

list(bot.commands)

[maiden fable]

Yea, base for db and drive for files

[slate swan]

ahh my basics

[maiden fable]

its fine

[slate swan]

thnx

[slate swan]

knowing that help can always be taken, makes a person lazy to try or think on their own

anyways, im going to study now, bye

[maiden fable]

cya

@slate swan that works?

[slate swan]

i didn't try it yet

[maiden fable]

Ah okay

[slate swan]

but yeah it has to work i just couldn't recall it

[livid jacinth]

hello?

[echo lagoon]

uhh, just trying to get it to work . - . seems ive done something wrong

oh nvm, i just didnt wait long enough for my presence to change . -.

right all done

right i understand your not currently using a cog, so heres my implamentation:

where in the initializer im setting self.last_invoked = datetime.now()

what this does, is it waits 30 seconds before being able to invoke the command again

[maiden fable]

why not just add await asyncio.sleep(30) tho

[echo lagoon]

; - ; or you could do that,

i guess im useto unity, where i gotta keep the update function going . _ .

[maiden fable]

Hahaha

[modest plover]

I can't make an account in deta :/

[echo lagoon]

~~right guess ill just show both implamentations:
my one which is over engineered and dumb: ~~ the working method

last_invoked = datetime.datetime.now()
@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    global last_invoked
    if (datetime.datetime.now() - last_invoked).total_seconds() > 30 and str(after.status) == "online" and after.id == MYID:
        last_invoked = datetime.datetime.now()
        channel = bot.get_channel (941209391917568000) 
        await channel.send("idk")

~~the preferred cleaner method: ~~ dont work on testing, asyncio only stops that scope,

@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")
        await asyncio.sleep(30)

Oh, nvm, it got filtered as spam lmao

[maiden fable]

Oh hahaha

[echo lagoon]

Wait I just realized - wouldn't it be able to invoke the command while it's still sleeping, as it won't make a difference invoking

It'll just pause the current invoked instance of the command iirc

Lemme test

[livid jacinth]

Hey, i tryed both methods and at the first i get an AttributeError: module 'datetime' has no attribute 'now' and at the second i dont send anything without an error or something.

[echo lagoon]

oh, you may have imported datetime, ive imported it a tad different

welp, just change the datetime call to datetime.datetime.now() instead

[modest plover]

Why does datetime have to be like that lmao

[echo lagoon]

. - . file name is datetime and the class is datetime

[echo lagoon]

yup i was right, asyncio.sleep does nothing, gotta use a var outside of the scope for it to work (aka my not so dumb method)

[final iron]

👀

[livid jacinth]

Okay i've replace it as you've said but it also dont work

[echo lagoon]

@livid jacinth i fixed it so it should work for you now (top method)

[echo lagoon]

0.o what error?

[livid jacinth]

I dont get an error but the bot dont send an message

[echo lagoon]

huh strange. . lemme give it a try on another bot instance that dont use cogs

[kindred oracle]

Hey is there an official documentation?

nevermind

Although i have a question still. Should I be able to make a discord bot just from the documentation?

[left crater]

yeah

there are plenty of example and stuff

[slate swan]

how to access bot stuff in ui View subclass like bot.commands etc...

[viral wolf]

Is there a way to write a bot more efficiently than just a bunch of if message startswith blank then message send?

[potent spear]

ofc, commands is what they're called

[slate swan]

@kindred oracle https://vcokltfre.dev

[slate swan]

this ;-;

[final iron]

Yes

[kindred oracle]

Oh thanks a lot. But I meant if I should be able to write it by the docs and without any other help. I was reading one when I was trying to achieve something but I got lost pretty fast and had to google stuff.

[viral wolf]

You mean creating a function for sending a message? Then there would still be a million send_message('!command', 'response')

[potent spear]

as long as you don't use YT as a source, you should be fine

[potent spear]

ever seen a simple bot using commands?

[kindred oracle]

It helped me with like what atteibutes a guild a member or a role has etc, but writing the code is a bit different

[livid jacinth]

Oke

[potent spear]

check out examples etc

[kindred oracle]

Oh okay

well thanks and happy coding

👋

[echo lagoon]

uhh how do you get intents to work with client?

[potent spear]

.

[echo lagoon]

i only used commands.bot

[potent spear]

same thing as with commands.Bot

[echo lagoon]

ah thx,

[potent spear]

commands.Bot is a subclass of discord.Client

[slate swan]

how to access bot stuff in ui View subclass like bot.commands etc...

[livid jacinth]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.typing = False
intents.presences = True

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix = get_prefix,
    help_command=None,
    intents=intents
)

[echo lagoon]

wait, you are using commands.bot

thought you were using discord.client . - .

[livid jacinth]

No i using discord.bot

[echo lagoon]

ye it working just fine

got it to finally show up ; - ; had to wait 30 sec before changing my presence again . _ .

import datetime
bot.last_invoked = datetime.datetime.now()
@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    print(";-;")
    if (datetime.datetime.now() - bot.last_invoked).total_seconds() > 30 and str(after.status) == "online" and after.id ==  ~ change to your ID ~ :
        bot.last_invoked = datetime.datetime.now()
        channel = bot.get_channel ( ~ change to channel ID ~ ) 
        await channel.send(". - .")

ofcourse you will need to change both your ID and chennel ID for it to work

[potent spear]

setting your last_invoked as global in your function ain't it

use a botvar instead at least

[echo lagoon]

i dont usually make bots without cogs, but that is how ive done it on my other example

[potent spear]

client.last_invoked would be great

[echo lagoon]

does it have access to client tho?

apparantly it do, huh

[potent spear]

ofc, that's where the @client.event decorator comes from

[echo lagoon]

i see, didnt realize its accessible inside the scope too,

[modest plover]

I'm trying to make a config command, how do I make it so that the bot listens for an answer to a command?
For example

/config
Bot : Welcome to the config menu
Please state the welcome channel:
User : #welcome

The code I have atm is:

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands
from deta import Deta
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
project_key = os.environ["project_key"]

deta = Deta(project_key)
config_db = deta.Base("Config")

class Config(commands.Cog):
    """Saves a config to the Deta database."""

    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
    	self.bot = bot

    @command.slash_command()
    async def config(self, inter)

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Config(bot))
    print(" | Loaded Extension: Config")
    print(" | ")

I'm using Disnake btw

[potent spear]

what you're looking for is a wait_for

[modest plover]

How do I use that?

[potent spear]

examples are stated in the docs

[echo lagoon]

@livid jacinth all fixed up, that should be good, lemme know if it dont work

[modest plover]

Ah, yeah found it

Thanks Sniper! :))

[potent spear]

gl hf

[modest plover]

GL maybe, HF fuck no

[livid jacinth]

Yess it works < 3

Thank you

[echo lagoon]

👍 that good!!

[honest vessel]

(logbot)

[slate swan]

class HelpMenu(View):

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__()

    options = [opt(label="Fun"),opt(label="Utility")]
    @select(placeholder="Choose a category", custom_id="help", min_values=1, max_values=1, options=options)
    async def callback(self, select, interaction):
        if select.values[0] == "Fun":
            embed = Embed(title="Fun Commands!", description = "Have fun with these commands", color = interaction.user.color)
            for i in list(self.bot.commands):
                if i.brief == "fun":
                    embed.add_field(name=i.name, value=i.description)
                self.bot.message.edit_message(embed=embed, view=self)```

this doesnt seem to add fields to the embed

[potent spear]

ever tried printing something in the if statement?

[honest vessel]

any errors?

or perhaps print select

from start

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

no

[potent spear]

well, you should
debugging 101

[honest vessel]

fuck debbuging

[slate swan]

oki

[honest vessel]

just do print(select)

or print(help(select))

@potent speardont u abuse print when coding?

i do

print("can u see me?!")

[potent spear]

I should definitely learn how to properly debug, yes

[honest vessel]

same

😄 but noneed

aintworkingfor a corp

use this code on ur own risk

[honest vessel]

why nvr need debug causeno you knowur child

you khnowyour own childmy spaceisfuzzed

bye

[royal jasper]

i want the bot removes the reactions of a specific channel whenever someone tries to react in it... but this code are not working

@client.event
async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user):
    
    if user == client.user:
        return

    ticket = '📩'
    channel = reaction.message.channel
    canal = client.get_channel(948352556596351030)

    if reaction.emoji == ticket and channel == canal:
        await reaction.message.remove_reaction(ticket, reaction.message.author)

[potent spear]

I'll do a quick rewrite

[livid jacinth]

!d status

[unkempt canyon]

status

Rich can display a status message with a ‘spinner’ animation that won’t interfere with regular console output. Run the following command for a demo of this feature:

python -m rich.status
```  To display a status message, call [`status()`](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/console.html#rich.console.Console.status "rich.console.Console.status") with the status message (which may be a string, Text, or other renderable). The result is a context manager which starts and stop the status display around a block of code. Here’s an example:

```py
with console.status("Working..."):
    do_work()
```  You can change the spinner animation via the `spinner` parameter...

[potent spear]

    if reaction.message.channel.id == 948352556596351030 and str(reaction.emoji) == ticket:
        await reaction.message.remove_reaction(ticket, reaction.message.author)```

[left crater]

you didnt do discord.Embed()

[potent spear]

he most likely imported it

[left crater]

i was just suggesting something

[livid jacinth]

@echo lagoon do you know how i can trigger the event by an activity like playing a game or something?

[slate swan]

yeah

i fixed it anyways

[livid jacinth]

?

[modest plover]

Can I use wait_for in Disnake more than once?

[sick birch]

Of course

[modest plover]

How?

I need it to wait for a message about 6 or 7 times for each config req

[sick birch]

await wait_for(...)
await wait_for(...)
```?

[modest plover]

Oh- ok ty

[sick birch]

You can also run it within a loop, which might be easier

say you have a list of questions, you can iterate through that and wait for a response

[modest plover]

How would I do that?

[sick birch]

questions = ["somethin", "something else", "something else too"]

for question in question:
  answer = await wait_for(...)
  # do something with answer

[modest plover]

The answers are getting saved to a db. Is there a way to make it go to the db within the loop?

[sick birch]

yeah the same way you might outside of a loop

[modest plover]

The way I'm doing it atm is

config.insert({
    "welcome": welcome,
    "announcements" : announcements
})

So each of the answers is saved to a variable

I've only tested this on a terminal

[sick birch]

You can substitute answer for that

[potent spear]

if you're a smart man, you'd make a config question by question, and at the end of the for loop, you just insert it at once

[sick birch]

That would work as well, probably would be faster too actually

[modest plover]

That's what I'm doing

So each embed has its own name, so welcomeEmbed sends the welcome config, announcementsEmbed sends the announcements config

[sick birch]

Instead of a list, you can have a list of tuples that specifies what column it should be inserted into the db

[modest plover]

Columns are the ones going down, right?

[potent spear]

right xd

[sick birch]

questions [
  ("welcome", "Please mention the welcome channel"),
  ("annoucements", "Please mention the annoucements channel"),
]

data = {}

for column, question in questions:
  answer = await wait_for(...)
  data[column] = answer

config.insert(data)

[dire folio]

Does anyone have good host recommendations?

[sick birch]

Amazon web services

Their EC2 instances are perfect for hosting bots

[modest plover]

Are the EC2 instances free?

[potent spear]

1 year free trial

[sick birch]

They have a free tier

[potent spear]

with some limits, I'm currently using one

[sick birch]

700 hours each month for 1 year on t2.micro instances

I'm using a full fledged one since I'm paying but it's awesome

• I also have other hosting needs (domain with route 53, storage buckets with S3, and a little bit of machine learning)

it provides everything in one ecosystem

[royal jasper]

it hasn't worked yet...

when i click on reaction, it don't disappear

[echo lagoon]

Probs check presence change?

[livid jacinth]

What do you mean?

[potent spear]

make sure the event even gets invoked first of all

[echo lagoon]

Uhh there should be a user activity - I'm not at home so I'll get back to you on it later

[modest plover]

How do I make the bot wait for a channel to be sent?

[livid jacinth]

Okayy

[sick birch]

What do you mean by "wait for a channel to be sent"?

[modest plover]

Like for a message containing a #welcome for example

A channel
Which is sent

[sick birch]

You'd just have to wait for on_message

then use TextChannelConverter to see if it's valid

[modest plover]

What's TextChannelConverter

[pliant gulch]

You don't even need to do that, unless you want to convert more than just mentions into a text channel

Message has a channel_mentions attribute which is a list of channel objects that were mentioned in the message

[sick birch]

Yeah true

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.Message.channel_mentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.channel\_mentions

A list of abc.GuildChannel that were mentioned. If the message is in a private message then the list is always empty.

[sick birch]

It's what's used under the hood when you typehint to discord.TextChannel

[modest plover]

Ah ok

[sick birch]

But doing what andy said is probably eaiser

And it's a list so just get the first one

[modest plover]

  @commands.slash_command()
    async def config(self, inter):
        """Presents the user with a config command"""
        welcomeConfig = disnake.Embed(
            title = "Welcome!",
            description = "Welcome to the config menu. Each of the menu option will give you 30 seconds to reply. Let's start with the welcome channel."
        ).add_field(
            name = "Welcome Channel",
            value = "Please state the welcome channel ([#welcome](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/267631170882240512/) for example)"
        )
        await inter.response.send_message(embed = welcomeConfig)
        await self.bot.wait_for()

Is this the right place for the wait for btw?

(it only says <#id> because there's a welcome channel here)

[viral wolf]

Where do you host discord bots?

[potent spear]

yeah, sure

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message

[viral wolf]

Thanks

[potent spear]

you have multiple options tho, buy PLS don't use replit or heroku

[modest plover]

Why not heroku?

[viral wolf]

Why not replit or heroku?

[sick birch]

<#discord-bots message> TL;DR they suck

[sick birch]

See my earlier response to a similar question

[viral wolf]

Ah I see

What are some other good options other than aws

[sick birch]

Google cloud hosting

Microsoft Azure

[viral wolf]

Alright, thank you

Would it be possible to run it on a raspberry pi?

[sick birch]

Course

I've done it for quite a bit before I got an ec2 instance

[viral wolf]

Why'd you switch?

[sick birch]

Why wouldn't you?

A raspberry pi will only hold for so long

Not very scalable either

[viral wolf]

Right

[sick birch]

Plus I was also building a web app (dashboard) to go along with my bot and honestly I needed the other services, so it was easier to keep everything in one place

These days I just do stupid stuff with the raspberry pi

[viral wolf]

Would you recommend doing it with a raspberry pi though?

[sick birch]

It depends on how big your bot is

[viral wolf]

As in the amount of code?

[sick birch]

That and how many guilds your bot is in, the size of those guilds

Just the general amount of stress you put on your bot

[viral wolf]

I see

[final iron]

A raspberry pi has some advantages over a vps but a vps has some advantages over a raspberry pi

It all depends on your situation and needs I guess

[sick birch]

Yeah, it can be cheaper than hosts once you pay off the initial investment

Considering it's 8gb of ram it's pretty beefy for such a small thing

And if you're just running a discord bot on the internet and electricity bills are going to be pretty low for it

[scarlet aurora]

how much gb do i need to run a discord bot on a server

[sick birch]

1 is the bare minimum

[scarlet aurora]

ok

[viral wolf]

Right, I bought one a few months ago and Im not using it for much

[modest plover]

What's the advantages of a raspberry pi over a VPS?

[final iron]

A one time purchase, you're in complete control, easy to access

[modest plover]

And the advantages of a vps over a pi?

[manic wing]

more power potentially

broadband and processing

you can also choose its location

[modest plover]

Ah

[viral wolf]

How do you test it and update it? Do you just have to use ssh?

[manic wing]

well you would run it locally (on your pc), test it, make sure it all works and then ssh into it and pull it from your github repo and rerun

you could also make a pull and restart command in your bot for ease of access

its best to just write, test and commit your code locally so its easy to pull and rerun

[viral wolf]

Would it be able to run on the raspberry pi and locally at the same time?

[manic wing]

yes

bots can be ran in multiple places

[viral wolf]

Sweet

[alpine furnace]

On one server? like, not even 50mb if it's just a discord bot, without a db or any heavy processing going on in the background

[manic wing]

usage of git cli is recommended for sshing between servers

[sick birch]

Higher upkeep, also not scalable, heavy initial cost

[echo lagoon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=on_member_update#discord.Member.activity

so you'd want to check if they are different on before and after, as the same event is triggered for multiple changes. . .

[manic wing]

wouldnt really say its a heavy initial cost

[sick birch]

Depends on the model

[echo lagoon]

(thats for both activity change and status change, as the event can be invoked on either of many changes)

[sick birch]

I have the 4 which was ~120ish which equates to about a year for many hosts

[alpine furnace]

Lol

[manic wing]

cough image not having the 4b

ps that is a joke

[alpine furnace]

I was willing to go with a cheap host for the discord bot itself, and I have some pod autoscaler set up on k3s for the actual backend that does work

[echo lagoon]

depends where you get it from, my dad works for one of the major distributors, got the 4 8GB for a fraction of the price, one of his mates hooked me up with a killer deal for fixing up a couple of he's computers or something . - .

[alpine furnace]

Cheap as in $10 per year. shit's great if you know where to look, on lowendbox

[sick birch]

Oh awesome! Mine was from canakit :p

[modest plover]

I asked earlier but forgot the message, I got sidetracked 🧍‍♂️
But yeah, for wait_for, what do I put as the event if I'm expecting a channel? (#welcome for example)

[alpine furnace]

@modest plover There's a check parameter in that wait_for

[sick birch]

Yeah unfortunately there's no on_channel or an event like that

[echo lagoon]

. - . think i payed like £50 for 2 of them, aint half bad

[sick birch]

You'd want to use .channel_mentions

[modest plover]

So what would that be?

[alpine furnace]

They're the aarch64 ones no?

[echo lagoon]

i got too many pi's lying around in my house tbh -- im sure i had 3 pi 2's buried somewhere . _ .

[alpine furnace]

The ones that aren't slow af and outdated

[sick birch]

build a "supercomputer" with all of them :p

[echo lagoon]

yup, both 8GB pi4s 64bit -- tho they been 64bit since pi3's

[alpine furnace]

Really now

[modest plover]

Make a 16gb super-pi

[echo lagoon]

xD

[sick birch]

message.channel_mentions would be > 1 if the user mentioned a channel in the message

[alpine furnace]

Don't think the team updated raspbian to 64 bit, cause I had some trouble with that stuff before

At least for one model of the 4

[cold sonnet]

don't

[echo lagoon]

ye rasp pi foundation only recently officially released their 64bit rasp os or what ever they call it, it wasnt pushed due to stability etc until very recently -- had to go thru a weird download website otherwise (not on main page)

[cold sonnet]

stay stable

[alpine furnace]

Don't what

Like, the raspberry pi team, the people who manage raspbian

[modest plover]

self.bot.wait_for('on_message.channel_mentions', timeout=30.0)?

[cold sonnet]

I hate downloading those newest stuff

[modest plover]

Sorry I'm sort of confused lmao

[final iron]

Did you read the docs?

[sick birch]

You just wait for a regular on_message event

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

wait_for(event, *, check=None, timeout=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[sick birch]

You need to use return len(message.channel_mentions) > 0 in your check

[alpine furnace]

def check(message: discord.Message):
  return len(message.channel_mentions) > 0
await client.wait_for('message', check=check)

[sick birch]

Do note that if you want the user to be able to specify the channel by name or ID, you have to use TextChannelConverter

[alpine furnace]

That was the check parameter I was talking about

[sick birch]

Checking message.channel_mentions **will only work if the user pings the channel explicitly **

[echo lagoon]

https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

if you scroll down, they officially list 64bit version now

[modest plover]

By explicitly, you mean like #welcome right?

[sick birch]

Correct

(by the way, what you're doing right now would be perfect for the new modals)

[echo lagoon]

rather just create utility functions for all those things, which will test for what seems like a channel ID etc and return them. . . they really streamline the code etc

[alpine furnace]

Yeah, not compatible unfortunately
Or is it, I'm not sure

[sick birch]

That's exactly what TextChannelConverter does

[echo lagoon]

huh, never used the converters tbh ;-; i ended up writing my own, didnt know they existed, couple people mentioned i shoulda used emoji converters . - .

[sick birch]

d.py has a built in emoji converter too

[alpine furnace]

Converters are great

You could also make your own converters as in, you can subclass converter and pass it in as a type hint

[echo lagoon]

welp, guess i was reinventing the wheel,
tho mine is designed for my usecase, like getting all emotes from text, limiting amount gotten from each input type was something i wanted too (and no repeats)

[sick birch]

The cool thing is you can use d.py's built in converters in your own converters that makes things incredibly easy

[echo lagoon]

^ yes, stole a bit of regex from somewhere internal for emotes,

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=textchannelconverter#discord.ext.commands.EmojiConverter

[echo lagoon]

yall dont just source dive?

[sick birch]

I do but really no point in recoding something that's already given to you in a nice format

[alpine furnace]

That docs page takes forever to load, I just jump to definition if I don't have it open

[sick birch]

One thing I don't like about d.py, feels very weakly typed

[alpine furnace]

What do you mean

[sick birch]

What can I say I work with typescript mostly and it's all documented in the intellisense

[echo lagoon]

eh true, but then you dont get to write fun regex like this:

[alpine furnace]

Oh, I see

Wonder how something like pyright handles dpy

[echo lagoon]

oh this ones kinda nice, wanted to grab emotes from views too

there is no escape from my get emote commands, it will grab from anywhere and everywhere . - .

[final iron]

wtf is that function naming

It's like a mix between camelCase and snake_case

[echo lagoon]

ye, we dont question my 3am naming conventions
||for peace of mind, i have rectified that name||

[final iron]

Thank you

🙏

[modest plover]

I refuse to rename mine because of water constantly enforcing pep8 lmao

[modest plover]

Oh shit I forgot modals existed LMAO

I'm gonna make it as a slash first just so I can see if I can get my other commands working then I'm gonna make it a modal

[echo lagoon]

. - . kinda hard changing habits tho in all honesty

[modest plover]

Lol

[final iron]

Just don't develop the bad habits in the first place

[echo lagoon]

dunno why modals exsist and arent just part of views ;-; woulda been nice to have those text fields as part of views too. .

[thorn field]

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

can someone help?

[modest plover]

What's the code?

[echo lagoon]

not enough info, dunno the code nor what your using (dpy??)

[thorn field]

im using discord.py code is @client.command

[echo lagoon]

. - . could you perhaps show the code?

[modest plover]

mhm

[thorn field]

the whole thing?

[modest plover]

The bit you're working on

alr

[echo lagoon]

atleast the portion around the error

It says the interaction was already responded to. How else am I supposed to send another embed?
I'm confused lmao

[thorn field]

im having trouble at @client.commands

[echo lagoon]

could you add syntax highlighting -- put in code block with

then end with tripple of them too

[modest plover]

@client.event
async def on_message_delete(message):
    snipe_message_author[message.channel.id] = message.author
    snipe_message_content[message.channel.id] = message.content
    await sleep (60)
    del snipe_message_author[message.channel.id]
    del snipe_message_content[message.channel.id]

@client.commands()
async def snipe(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    try:
        snipeEmbed = discord.Embed(title=f"Last deleted message in#{channel.name}", description = snipe_message_content[channel.id])
        snipeEmbed.set_footer(text=f"Deleted by {snipe_message_author[channel.id]}")
    except:
        await ctx.send(f"There are no deleted messages in#(channel.name)")
``` @echo lagoon

[echo lagoon]

thx

wanted to teach them how to do it tho . - .

[modest plover]

I mean you told em how to ._.

[thorn field]

AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'command'

[echo lagoon]

yes, but you can only get so far teaching someone how to build a house, without them practically using the tools and doing it for themselves (apply same philosophy to this ; -;)

[thorn field]

ok

[echo lagoon]

could you show what client is?

[thorn field]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=":")

[echo lagoon]

right, i think it should be client.command() ;-;

(for the commands)

[thorn field]

then it will give me a diffrent error gimme a sec

[viral wolf]

How do I keep a .py file running in the background in ssh on a raspberry pi?

[thorn field]

client = commands.Bot()
TypeError: init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'command_prefix'

[echo lagoon]

well, there you go, your missing a prefix arg when instancing commands.Bot()

should look something like this

[thorn field]

then i get the same error for client object has no attribuite command

[echo lagoon]

which if you look internally, command_prefix is a must have param to instance the class

[echo lagoon]

uhh?

[thorn field]

here

[echo lagoon]

have you fixed this?

[thorn field]

yes\

[echo lagoon]

right gimme a sec, i wonna give this a try

[final iron]

Don't name your Bot instance client

discord.Client exists

[thorn field]

then it doesnt work entirely since apperntly client cant run commands

every said to change to command.Bot

[final iron]

I never said to use discord.Client

[thorn field]

k

[boreal ravine]

you have to respond within 3 seconds

otherwise you gotta defer the interaction

[modest plover]

I fixed it, it's fine

Well, the Disnake server fixed it lmao

I used inter.channel.send() rather than a second respond.send_message()

I mean it worked :)

[boreal ravine]

tbh should use a list instead of a dict

[thorn field]

i fixed the thing

[thorn field]

i redifiened client so i fixed it

[echo lagoon]

all is working?

[thorn field]

yes

ty for your help

[echo lagoon]

weird, mine dont work lol, dunno what i done

[modest plover]

How do I save a user's message to a variable?

[final iron]

That's basic python...

[boreal ravine]

use the assignment operator

[modest plover]

It's #welcome that j want to set to a variable

[echo lagoon]

a = ctx.message

[modest plover]

It's a slash so ctx isn't available

[echo lagoon]

interaction?

[modest plover]

Wait fuck my brains just had a moment. Sorry lmao

[boreal ravine]

.

[echo lagoon]

welp, not used slash so i dunno, dont like slash so im not willing to find out

[boreal ravine]

should not make slash commands if your bot isn't gonnna be verified tbh

[modest plover]

Slash commands work nice tho, like it's quicker and easier than typing out say !embed_colour #1abc9c

[echo lagoon]

say that again when you have /play and 5 different bots come up

[boreal ravine]

[modest plover]

And this is where an icon comes into play.

Plus. You're saying /play brings 5 bots up, !play does the same

[echo lagoon]

i guess it has its usecase but i find doing !!!play + url is easier . - .

[modest plover]

Except !play actually executes the commajd

[echo lagoon]

configure a unique command prefix ; - ;

[modest plover]

well yeah but most prefixes are taken

[echo lagoon]

you can change prefix for most bots tho

[modest plover]

you genuinely think I'm gonna make a prefix of !?!?.play and expect people to remember it?
Most. But not all.

[echo lagoon]

mhm, mine uses !!! -- non configurable atm, no other bot uses it in my guild

[boreal ravine]

or use <, %, ~, *,

[echo lagoon]

^ theres all those options too

[thorn field]

@client.event
async def on_message_delete(message):
snipe_message_author[message.channel.id] = message.author
snipe_message_content[message.channel.id] = message.content
await sleep(60)
del snipe_message_author[message.channel.id]
del snipe_message_content[message.channel.id]

@client.command()
async def snipe(ctx):
channel = ctx.channel
try:
snipeEmbed = discord.Embed(title=f"Last deleted message in#{channel.name}", description=snipe_message_content[channel.id])
snipeEmbed.set_footer(text=f"Deleted by {snipe_message_author[channel.id]}")
except:
await ctx.send(f"There are no deleted messages in#(channel.name)")

now its no t working at all

its starting but the command is broken

[echo lagoon]

like it dont do anything when you call it?

[thorn field]

ye

[echo lagoon]

try help command?

see if it shows up there. .

[thorn field]

well all the commands are working except the snipe one

!8ball is working

[echo lagoon]

. . ?

[thorn field]

wdym in the console?

[echo lagoon]

no, do !help see if it shows up in the help menu

assuming your prefix is !

[thorn field]

i dont have a help menu

[tepid tiger]
