discord-bots

[somber sky]

barely lol

[sick birch]

Guessed as much (no offense)

[oblique laurel]

Id suggest you try working through some tutorials over the fundamentals, then coming back. Itll save you a world of pain lol

[sick birch]

Honestly yeah, you can solve trivial problems like this within minutes and move on and spend your time on more interesting problems

[boreal ravine]

they have fallen into the discord.py tutorial trap

[oblique laurel]

Yeah. You have good ideas it seems, you just need to learn how to tell the computer about them

[sick birch]

Happens way too much

[woven ingot]

Hi could anyone help me out. What is the chepeast option to run several discord bots. Currently have them on separte Heroku accounts and I am able to run one per account for free. But are there any other paid but cheap or free alternatives to Heroku?

[sick birch]

Definetely, it's more about translating the solution in your head to code

[sick birch]

AWS would be your best bet

Run multiple discord bots within one machine, dockerize it if you want

[somber sky]

i've tried doesnt help me

[woven ingot]

Just runing them on a micro instance

[sick birch]

Yes, micro instances will work fine

[boreal ravine]

it will

you didn't learn properly

[oblique laurel]

!resources has some nice stuff

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[sick birch]

And the micro instances aren't all that expensive so it's perfect

[woven ingot]

So is this how everyone runs their bots or locally? I find Herokus paid plans to be ridiculsy expensive. Unless you are profiting of these its not worth paying for the service.

[sick birch]

I host multiple applications of mine on AWS, yes

[oblique laurel]

Honestly i just have a spare old laptop lol

[boreal ravine]

||railway.app||

[sick birch]

I use their S3 for file storage related to my bot, a domain for the bot, and host the bot itself & the web dashboard on the ec2, and also have a postgres database on the machine as well and an API that acts as a middleman between postgres and the bot

[woven ingot]

Ok will try that out, I'm bored of creating burner accounts on Heroku for each new bot 😅

[sick birch]

Yep, makes a world of difference

[oblique laurel]

All for 3 bucks?

[boreal ravine]

isn't AWS paid?

[oblique laurel]

Or is that an S not a $

[sick birch]

About 10 for the VPS, $12/year for the domain

[woven ingot]

I have a Raspberry Pi might look up to see if I can probably just host them there. Do bots consume a lot of processing power around how many do you think I would be able to run off a Pi with 4gb of ram

[sick birch]

Yeah that's an S, S3 for simple storage services

[oblique laurel]

Read it as an $3, mb lol

[sick birch]

Oh yeah a raspberry pi will do nicely

Actually had mine running on the rpi until I got the S3 & domain hosting, at that point i was like screw it might as well keep everything on aws

[oblique laurel]

Depends on how much your bot does ig

[woven ingot]

Yeah also a good alternative

[sick birch]

If we say your bot is in a few guilds with not much traffic, you can run up to 10

[woven ingot]

Just pulling api's

[oblique laurel]

Ngl idk if its cuz im broke but i prefer just using my own machine, seems more secure

[sick birch]

If it's mostly I/O stuff like apis like you said, you can run a good but, perhaps up to 15

[sick birch]

I don't know about secure

Higher upkeep, less secure than professionally provided hosting services

[woven ingot]

Nice not bad. Thanks for the info.

[oblique laurel]

How’s that?

[sick birch]

I mean there's a reason a majority of the internet is run on things such as AWS, google cloud hosting, microsoft azure, etc

If they didn't provide some of the most top notch security they wouldn't be used

[raven owl]

guys better to use javascript or python for discord bot

[oblique laurel]

I mean how would it not be secure to have smth running on my local network? No one else rlly uses it

[sick birch]

From a logical standpoint, probably javascript but from a library standpoint definetely python. Just personal preference at the end of the day

[raven owl]

whats ur personal prference

[oblique laurel]

I mean we’re in a python discord, so we’ll say python lol

[sick birch]

Think about your regular old commercial router vs an industry standard routers on massive datacenters

[sick birch]

Mine? javascript, more specifically typescript

[raven owl]

ok is there any tutorial for python discord bots

[sick birch]

But don't go off doing what I do just because I do it

[raven owl]

or javascript discord bots

[sick birch]

https://vcokltfre.dev/

[oblique laurel]

Any? Yes. Any good one? Havent found one lol

[raven owl]

ok what abt javscript

[sick birch]

https://discordjs.guide/

[raven owl]

do i have to learn node js

or javascript only

[oblique laurel]

Well it isnt on yt, so that adds like 10 points to credibility lol

[sick birch]

Yes, syntax is very similar to browser JS though

[raven owl]

k

[sick birch]

It's also pinned

And it was created specifcally to address many flaws found in youtube tutorials which is great

[oblique laurel]

I swear, a good discord bot tutorial on yt is harder to find than women in cs

[sick birch]

Though people still gravitate towards youtube tutorials which really drives me up the wall especially when they have things like client = commands.Bot(...)

[oblique laurel]

Yikes

[raven owl]

\u001b[{text};{red}m

?

[sick birch]

hmm

[raven owl]

got exam now bai

english

[sick birch]

I wish you luck

[raven owl]

thanks so good helpers UwU ; D

[sick birch]

Thank you!

[raven owl]

what language do you think i should learn after pythin

i am learning from a book

[sick birch]

Rust seems to be popping off right now

[raven owl]

ik a little js

rust is a language?? what does it do i am noob

[sick birch]

That, one of the C-langs, knowing Node.js/TS is always, knowing at least one of all of those is imporatnt

[sick birch]

Very fast compiled language, lot of talk about it recently and seems like people love it

[raven owl]

ok so next i learn javascript and node

then rust then c

something c

[sick birch]

Sure, C/C++ is good

Doing game dev will help you hone your C skills since UE uses C++ and Unity uses C# iirc

[raven owl]

ooo

better ue or unity

[sick birch]

Hard to tell

Both are used widely

[oblique laurel]

How fast on a scale of c to python?

[final iron]

c to python lmao

[oblique laurel]

Universal speedometer for languages XD

[final iron]

😔

[pliant gulch]

To the C side

It’s even being used for speed important tasks such as kernels etc

[oblique laurel]

Interesting

[pliant gulch]

Rust is mostly just a memory safe C anyways

Borrowing concept is very cool though

Same with lifetimes

[oblique laurel]

The name makes it sound so old and outdated lol

[sick birch]

I heard it can equal or be faster than C

[oblique laurel]

Dang

[sick birch]

Their discord server as a channel for #os-dev like we do for things like #discord-bots

just goes to show how fast it is

[oblique laurel]

Feel like ima become an old relic before i even finish learning python if i dont learn rust now lol

[sick birch]

Yeah been wanting to but way too lazy you know

[oblique laurel]

I just have no free time lol

i say as i chat in this server

[final iron]

🗿

[sick birch]

i think i've done nothing but help out here the entire day today

[slate swan]

depends on the methods as some methods that are got inherited from C to python are faster than native python so i doubt its faster than C

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sick birch]

It can be if you optimize it

[slate swan]

native python faster than c idk

[sick birch]

I meant rust than C

If you were running discord bots in C vs python vs rust it's going to be relatively the same (largely depending on bot ofc)

[slate swan]

prob

[sick birch]

they spend like 90% of the time waiting around

[slate swan]

lol

[slate swan]

Put this in your on_message to effectively bar any commands in specific channels from being passed into command handlers at all

[sick birch]

Well it kinda says it right there

cogs must derive from Cog

[jade tartan]

ohh it suppose to say Cog instead cog

[sick birch]

Um is that selenium

Okay major problem with that

selenium won't work with discord bots since selenium is blocking and discord.py is asynchronous

It's difficult to get selenium to work with discord.py

quite difficult indeed

It seems to

If you turn on logging it'll start spitting errors saying the event loop is getting blocked

You can't heartbeat the server when the event loop is blocked

no heartbeat gateway = big disconnect

[maiden fable]

Sleep Robin 👀

[sick birch]

big disconnect = big sad

[sick birch]

😅

[jade tartan]

    if filename.endswith('py'):

[sick birch]

give it a few hours

[sick birch]

Make sure your cogs look like this:

class MyCog(commands.Cog): # THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!
  ...

Sure, do as okiimii said and put it in your on_message

Yessir

[maiden fable]

[sick birch]

@event_decorator
async def on_message(m):

[maiden fable]

Rip, I'm out of my mind I'mma just go

[sick birch]

in your case something you wanna check if the message is from a certain channel

Same

[maiden fable]

U didn't do class Something(commands.Cog):

[lofty dagger]

send pls easy python game from discord bot

[maiden fable]

Robin gonna help u with it, thanks

[slate swan]

youre probably trying to load a class or a cog thats not from the same fork

[maiden fable]

Or that, yea

[sick birch]

Sure, check the channel ID of the sent message vs maybe a list of channel IDs you don't want the bot to work in

[slate swan]

uwa?

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/vocoyuzuro

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Yea*

[slate swan]

is your bot made in disnake?

[maiden fable]

Chads use bot.dispatch with on_message :D

[jade tartan]

Yes that botinfo cmd yes

[sick birch]

Chads write their bots in assembly

Easy then

[maiden fable]

Chads use binary to send API requests

[sick birch]

Just compare the ID of the channel message was sent in to 942234501642338314

[maiden fable]

if message.channel.id == id:
. . .

[sick birch]

message.channel.id == 942234501642338314 perhaps

[jade tartan]

?

[sick birch]

Feel free to ping me. I'm off tomorrow and will probably be here

[jade tartan]

So?

[sick birch]

Unfortunate, I wish you luck

[jade tartan]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

[jade tartan]

You said if am using disnake i said yes

[slate swan]

show your bot file and your cog file

[slate swan]

Are you using "only" Disnake?

[slate swan]

Because you error says you're using discord.py

[jade tartan]

and discord.py

[slate swan]

no you can't do that. Choose 1

[jade tartan]

Do i need to uninstall discord.py?

[swift quiver]

Hi can anyone help me with something

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

should remove the help command in the constructor and use only one pair of quotes but yeah i see nothing wrong

[swift quiver]

same error

[slate swan]

where? when it fails to dm a user?

[swift quiver]

no, when I try to run it it gives an error that i cant share through hastebin and here

does anyone know if slash commands are removed or smth?

[slate swan]

You can share with hastebin....

No? Slash commands still exist

No? I can run slash commands just fine. In fact this message was used with a slash command ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ivory shadow]

I keep getting this error

[swift quiver]

no i cant

[sick birch]

/shrug

[ivory shadow]

and it's causing my entire bot to stop

[sick birch]

Remove your token and try it again

[slate swan]

That's not "slash commands"
It's just a bad 3rd party library people used for making slash commands In Discord.py

[supple thorn]

Replit

[slate swan]

Which is now outdated

[ivory shadow]

oh do u know how I can remove this cuz I need the bot to get back up

[supple thorn]

🗿

[slate swan]

Use discord.py master branch or some fork to make slash commands

[supple thorn]

It's replit no

[ivory shadow]

unfortunate

cuz I tried deleting the package and I keep getting

[supple thorn]

That error randomly comes and goes

Good luck

[ivory shadow]

rlly?

okay thank you i'll just hope it's fixed tmrw

tysm

[slate swan]

Nah, the discord-py-slash-commands library is dead

not related to replit

[supple thorn]

Nope

Replit does have that issue

Ive gotten that issue before

Tried to remove the discord.py library

And was stuck like that for hours

Just randomly went way after some time and i could finally remove discord.py

[swift quiver]

theres no token

[sick birch]

Well I doubt hastebin would be giving you that error

[swift quiver]

can i just send u it in dms

[sick birch]

DMs are closed sorry

If you send it here and it has a valid token, discord should automatically reset your token

[supple thorn]

There is

I saw

[slate swan]

The library is deprecated, it's Discord-py-interactions now

that's why it says no version matching found.

And yea replit has that bug when you don't configure your poetry yourself

[stiff kayak]

Hi, I'm trying to develop a bot that will join a voice channel, detect voices from users, and then play an mp3 file when it detects the voice. I just started learning how to make discord bots and I'm not quite sure what to do next

[sick birch]

These "plugins" for components and slash commands were really only temporary while everyone was scrambling after discord.py was discontinued, I think now that many of the forks are stabilized and have their own implementation, including discord.py, there's no reason to use any of these "plugins"

[swift quiver]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/deyalufotu can anyone help me

[vagrant lodge]

are you talking about playing a specific sound for a specific person?

[sick birch]

I don't think discord.py has the ability to recieve voice just yet

[stiff kayak]

no, a sound for everyone

[sick birch]

It is dispatched to you though (i think)

[stiff kayak]

well, it doesn't have to necessarily understand what the voice is saying

its more like "if there is a user speaking in voice chat" play mp3

[sick birch]

on_voice_status_update() is an event perhaps

Actually I don't think that tells you when someone stops/starts talking

[supple thorn]

Oh shit sorry i thought it was the other problem

[swift quiver]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/deyalufotu Can anyone help

[stiff kayak]

yeah its joining related

[sick birch]

So if someone joins the voice channel, the bot should play an mp3?

[stiff kayak]

no, if someone speaks

[supple thorn]

Cause i was only looking at this

[sick birch]

Don't think you can detect that

[supple thorn]

Thought it was that bug

[stiff kayak]

aww really?

there is no way to check if a user is speaking in vc?

[sick birch]

Doubtful

[stiff kayak]

How does the voice chat highlight thing work. The one that lights green whenever you speak in voice chat

could that be a workaround?

[sick birch]

That won't help either, no

[stiff kayak]

aww

Welp, thanks anyways.

[sick birch]

Wish I could help but it seems to be a discord limitation

Though one of my friends was experimenting and he was able to get some raw data through the websocket indicating if someone was talking or not

[slate swan]

oof

[sick birch]

Looks like a windows error, I'm not experienced with windows so unfortunately no

[swift quiver]

Uh alr.

[slate swan]

What's your discord.py version? @swift quiver

[boreal ravine]

possible

[slate swan]

why does the payload use an int is it so it has boolean values?

[boreal ravine]

[slate swan]

maybe because it seems to have a value of 1 when speaking which 1+ is True so idk maybe

[boreal ravine]

maybe

[sick birch]

He showed me this as well

[sick birch]

@stiff kayak if you're still interested might be worth looking into this

[boreal ravine]

they left?

[sick birch]

They're still here

bro youre like hunter you guys act so mature when your 1 year older like bro what💀

i mean hunter is mature and hes cool but thats not the point, the point is youre a kid as well

[formal basin]

How do I make it so it’s a custom role instead of the everyone role

[slate swan]

i have python 3.10 but i have this issue

[maiden fable]

I am just telling u to stop using emojis in every single message. It is good u have nitro, but this isn't the correct channel to flex it. There are ot channels too

[maiden fable]

pip install -U wavelink

[slate swan]

❤️

[maiden fable]

(:

[slate swan]

im not flexing my emojis i just use them so people know/how to take my point

[maiden fable]

I don't wanna continue this argument, but u using these emojis in every message just makes u look like a small kid

[slate swan]

i couldnt care less how people think about me lol

[oblique adder]

My bot take nearly 12 minutes to trigger the on_ready event. When I try debugging it is loading every users (users kept increasing) Is it because it is in a few servers so It is taking so long ? is this normal or is there a way to fix this ?

more info:
RAM : 8GB
SERVER : 500
USERS : 200K

[maiden fable]

Wym server 500?

[oblique adder]

guilds*

[maiden fable]

Shouldn't take 12 min tho

[oblique adder]

ikr

but idk why it takes that long

[maiden fable]

My bot is in 130 servers, takes like 1-2 min

[maiden fable]

Check yr internet

[teal bloom]

How do you countdown

[oblique adder]

is it because i am using autoshard ? could that be case ?

[oblique adder]

4000/4000 up/dw

[maiden fable]

Idk, could be

[oblique adder]

It is super annoying when restarting bot I want a way to fix this 😭

[maiden fable]

Try removing auto sharded bot

[oblique adder]

but on my alts which have 40 servers it only takes 30 secs 🤔
Sure I will try to remove auto sharded

thank you

[manic wing]

use discii instead

[maiden fable]

Rip idk how to set the Python version in it

Does it have a command pallete?

[slate swan]

f1 -> select interpreter

[maiden fable]

Uhh, yea that. Thanks for telling

@slate swan try doing what, uhh, Shi Tsu said

[slate swan]

I cba to edit that, thanks

[slate swan]

Anyone doing commissions for discord bots?

[slate swan]

!rule 9

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

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

[slate swan]

cant help

Oh crap

Well could you do it for free?

it's a simple bot, ig, i just want it where if someone types in a certain command it responds with something

[maiden fable]

Why do u even need someone to make such an easy bot :[

[slate swan]

want to look cool that the server has their own private bot

not being rude or anything

lol

[maiden fable]

I meant, just ask here how to make such a command instead of paying anyone else to do solol

[slate swan]

no comments

[maiden fable]

There are already numerous spoonfeeders here 🤣

[slate swan]

lmao

[maiden fable]

Does the same job, but for free

[slate swan]

😳

[maiden fable]

Stating facts

[slate swan]

True true

So basically, I've been trying to get commands to work with perms and the roles who have that permission are defined (by ID) in a seperate file. But whenever I try to use the command it comes back with "You are missing at least one of these roles insert IDs".

Currently looks sort of like this:

from sys import prefix
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from env import KICKPERMS, PREFIX, TOKEN

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = PREFIX)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is ready")


#Kick command
@client.command()
@commands.has_any_role(KICKPERMS)
async def kick(ctx, member : discord.Member, *, Reason=None):
    await member.kick(reason = Reason)  
    await ctx.send(f'User {member.mention} has been kicked for {Reason}')

And this is my second file

TOKEN="x" # bot token
PREFIX="." # prefix for commands
KICKPERMS = 95139573945034754, 951394182705053706

[small igloo]

um

async def claim(name, code):
    async with aiosqlite.connect('database.db') as db:
        name = str(name)
        code = str(code)
        cur = await db.execute(f"UPDATE CODES set {code} = 1 WHERE NAME = ?", (name,))
        await db.commit()``` why unrecognized token :V

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingAnyRole: You are missing at least one of the required roles: '(95139573945034754, 951394182705053706)'

The error

WE HAVE LONGED IN
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 54, in <module>
keep_alive.keep_alive()
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'keep_alive'

host my bot on repl.it but its showing error

[small igloo]

r e p l i t

[small igloo]

i hate unrecognized token error

[slate swan]

it worked now

[supple thorn]

It should be *KICKPERMS inside the @commands.has_any_role()

@commands.has_any_role(*KICKPERMS)

[slow fog]

g a r b a g e

[small igloo]

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 30034): Max number of daily application command creates has been reached (200)
What is this error?

[slate swan]

You're my god

[small igloo]

why unrecognized ;-;

[slate swan]

Repl or Visual Code Studio for discord bot?

after making a dc bot now wandering whr the messages that the bot receving?

[small igloo]

?

[slate swan]

what.....

[slate swan]

the msges u do personally to bot, where can i see them

[slate swan]

in dms

my dms wont show what the bot is receiving

[slate swan]

still dont understand wht you're asking

[modest plover]

How can I make the bot auto leave a server then blacklist the server i.e not let it join anymore

[modest plover]

You could make the bot auto add the DMs to a text file or send the DM to a channel?

[small igloo]

help

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Guild.leave and store the guild id and check everytime your bot joins a guild

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Guild.leave

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

Leaves the guild.

Note

You cannot leave the guild that you own, you must delete it instead via [`delete()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Guild.delete "disnake.Guild.delete").

[small igloo]

to_leave = client.get_guild(id)
await to_leave.leave()```

[slate swan]

imagine spoonfeeding

[modest plover]

Ok ty

[modest plover]

Imagine (still need to store it in a db lmao)

[small igloo]

🗿

[slate swan]

not a big deal

[maiden fable]

Told u many people do the job for free 👀

[maiden fable]

Wym

[small igloo]

the error:

disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: OperationalError: unrecognized token: "3025P"```

3025P is the value of variable "code"

[surreal palm]

i want to make a discord bot but idk all the discord commands... where can i learn it all?

[small igloo]

but-

the last time i use f-sdtring that work :V (idk u join or not but here blacktarsier and 1 more guy i forgor debating that f string problem)

[surreal palm]

client async and all that

[small igloo]

use what then ;-;

lul ok

[surreal palm]

i guess..

i tried doing it with c# cuz ik it better but i want to do it with python

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[surreal palm]

ok thx

[small igloo]

well, i wanna add claim code system, i use a single table with users ID and columns with codes

no, i use CODES as table name

ok :V

wut

🗿 huh

do u mean by what thing i passed in variable code?

🗿 what

use elifs?

ok, here's the one in main.py

[small igloo]

@bot.command()
async def claim(ctx, code):
    name = ctx.author.id
    if code in codes:
        await database.claim(name, code)
        await ctx.send(f"used code {code}!")
    else:
        await ctx.send("lol, code is unavailable")```

???

bruh
!claim code

???? that's a variable dude

[modest plover]

Code is a string.

So you'd do !claim blahblahblah
code = blahblahblah for example

Is what I'm understanding

[small igloo]

:v ok, thanks for explaining

[modest plover]

@small igloo
Can you give an example code?

[small igloo]

the random string one :V

me create

i create code to claim

m a n n u a l l y

🗿 how i am supposed to explain

    "CODE", "3025P"
]``` the "codes" from ```py
@bot.command()
async def claim(ctx, code):
    name = ctx.author.id
    if code in codes:
        await database.claim(name, code)
        await ctx.send(f"used code {code}!")
    else:
        await ctx.send("lol, code is unavailable")``` example of code: `3025P`

and what happens when they claim one
that's the function of py async def claim(name, code): async with aiosqlite.connect('database.db') as db: name = str(name) code = str(code) cur = await db.execute(f"UPDATE CODES set {code} = 1 WHERE NAME = ?", (name,)) await db.commit() code, set the value to 1 in the database

send message

[modest plover]

Ok, anything else?

[small igloo]

database thing

[modest plover]

Ok, so when the code is claimed, it sends a message and updates the db?

[heavy folio]

f string in sql execute statement? cur = await db.execute(f"UPDATE CODES set {code} = 1 WHERE NAME = ?", (name,))

[tawdry perch]

why is there f string in SQL query? (non relevant to that error)

[obsidian ledge]

how do i make these type of buttons

!d discord.ui.Select

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Select

class discord.ui.Select(*, custom_id=..., placeholder=None, min_values=1, max_values=1, options=..., disabled=False, row=None)```
Represents a UI select menu.

This is usually represented as a drop down menu.

In order to get the selected items that the user has chosen, use [`Select.values`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Select.values "discord.ui.Select.values").

New in version 2.0.

[heavy folio]

eh wait

[modest plover]

It's a drop-down menu

[heavy folio]

select

[small igloo]

?

[small igloo]

yes

[heavy folio]

Do not:
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = {}".format('peepeepoopoo'))
Do:
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = ?", ('peepeepoopoo',))

Consider: if a command accepts user input, and they input True; DROP TABLE table_name- The resultant query with format is:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = True; DROP TABLE table_name which has obvious results.
Utilizing your SQL library's sanitization methods prepares the statement and exclusively inserts the values, without editing the query.
Note postgresql uses $1, $2, ... for value substitution, mysql, %s, so make sure you know your DB!
https://xkcd.com/327

consider reading this

[small igloo]

lol

[visual island]

? won't work with column names

[small igloo]

btw if like dat, so i can do

async def claim(name, code):
    async with aiosqlite.connect('database.db') as db:
        name = str(name)
        code = str(code)
        cur = await db.execute("UPDATE CODES set ? = 1 WHERE NAME = ?", (code,name))
        await db.commit()``` huh?

[small igloo]

[heavy folio]

that's a column name oh

[boreal ravine]

why are you creating a connection to your db everytime the command is ran

[small igloo]

idk lol :v

[heavy folio]

use an open connection attached to a bot var

[boreal ravine]

[small igloo]

h o w

[slate swan]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[heavy folio]

wdym how

[slate swan]

instead of the string for that variable, you can have a connection...

depends on how you want to use it.

[small igloo]

me use different file for main and database editing

[heavy folio]

have you tried reading this

[slate swan]

no, but he tried deleting it for sure

[small igloo]

:vvvv

[small igloo]

yes

[slate swan]

thats just an OOP concept, you can add your own attributes to a class and access them anywhere within the class

[small igloo]

wait, i can do filename.bot.varname??

[visual island]

yes

[slate swan]

!e ```py
class MyClass:
...

c = MyClass() # as in bot = commands.Bot
c.db = "my database connection" # make a connection, attach it to the bot
print(c.db) # and its now one of the bot's atrributes

[unkempt canyon]

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

my database connection

[small igloo]

ow ok

[slate swan]

similarly py bot.database = #connecting to db and accessing it with bot.database wherever you want

[small igloo]

now what is the connection between it and my db problem :V

[visual island]

nothing

[heavy folio]

it's just... bad to connect to the db each time you need something

[slate swan]

you are making connection with the database everytime you perform an operation, which is both memory and speed wise bad

its like, you are moving things in-and-out of a room , and everytime you go inside the room you open the door and close it again when moving out.

[small igloo]

:vvvvvvv ok

[small igloo]

then i am funny 🤣

[slate swan]

what was your initial problem tho

[small igloo]

token error in

async def claim(name, code):
    async with aiosqlite.connect('database.db') as db:
        name = str(name)
        code = str(code)
        cur = await db.execute(f"UPDATE CODES set {code} = 1 WHERE NAME = ?", (name,))
        await db.commit()``` the code part

[visual island]

is the code "3025P"?

[small igloo]

yes\

[visual island]

if so, you can't have column names starting with a number

[small igloo]

sadge, ok then

[small igloo]

what if P30S25

[slate swan]

that would do

[small igloo]

ok then :V

[visual island]

you can also do _3025P

[small igloo]

that worked! ggty

[wanton veldt]

how can i make 'can't mute/ban a moderator' error

any ideas?

from discord.ext import commands, tasks
from discord.ext.commands import MissingPermissions, CheckFailure, MemberNotFound

class Moderation(commands.Cog, name="moderation"):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot



    @commands.command(name="kick", description="Foloseste .kick pentru a dat kick unui membru.")
    @commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
    async def kick(self, ctx, member : discord.Member, *, reason=None):
        await member.kick(reason = reason)
        await ctx.channel.send(f'{member.mention} has been kicked by {ctx.message.author.mention} for reason of: {reason}!')
        await member.send(f" You have been kicked from: {guild.name} reason: {reason}")
    
    @kick.error
    async def kick_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, MissingPermissions):
            await ctx.reply("You don't have permission to kick members.")
        if isinstance(error, MemberNotFound):
            await ctx.reply("Member not found.")            

def setup(bot: commands.Bot):
    bot.add_cog(Moderation(bot))

[tawdry perch]

if the target user you are trying to ban has mod role, don't ban it

[wanton veldt]

Can you repeat?

[tawdry perch]

So eh, if the member you are trying to ban has any mod role send error message, is this what you want?

[wanton veldt]

yes

oh wait

@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True) i have to change this to a have role and then what

[tawdry perch]

You can also make custom check, or just write if statement in your code to check it.

[wanton veldt]

how can i make that

thats my last question

if member.top_role >= ctx.author.top_role:
await ctx.send(f"You can only moderate members below your role")
return

like that?

[vale wing]

Basically a function that takes a ctx as argument and returns commands.check

[wanton veldt]

stackoverflow.com/questions/66244607/how-to-prevent-moderators-from-using-moderation-commands-at-each-other-in-discor

i found this is it good?

[vale wing]

def my_check():
    def inner(ctx):
        return modrole in ctx.author.roles

    return commands.check(inner)```

And then uh

@commands.command()
@my_check()
async def some_mod_command(...)```

I don't really remember cause I use cog checks

!d discord.ext.commands.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via [`Command.checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks").

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the [`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") event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError"). Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to [`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").

[vale wing]

Yeah this is correct

Afaik you can't parse args to checks so the only way would be checking that inside of a function

[regal cove]

i need help. i cant make my discord.py economy bot work with sqlite. im very desperate and need help: this is my code btw

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  client.database_connection = await aiosqlite.connect("money_data.db")
  db = client.database_connection
  
  cursor = await db.cursor()



  await cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS money_data(

    result_userBal = await cursor.fetchone()


    await ctx.send(f"{USER_NAME}'s balance!/n/nMoney:/n$(result_userBal[0])")```

[spring flax]

sigh

1. Make a connection to the database throughout without connecting to it each time
2. Don't use f-strings in operations

[regal cove]

how do i make it so its connected all the time?

[regal cove]

also what kind of string should i use then?

[dusky pine]

replace

await cursor.execute(f"SELECT balance FROM money_data WHERE user_id={USER_ID}")

with

await cursor.execute("SELECT balance FROM money_data WHERE user_id=?", (USER_ID,))

like you did before

[spring flax]

Do not:
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = {}".format('something'))
Do:
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = ?", ('something',))

Consider: if a command accepts user input, and they input True; DROP TABLE table_name- The resultant query with format is:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value = True; DROP TABLE table_name which has obvious results.
Utilizing your SQL library's sanitization methods prepares the statement and exclusively inserts the values, without editing the query.
Note postgresql uses $1, $2, ... for value substitution, mysql, %s, so make sure you know your DB!

[dusky pine]

^

[regal cove]

i am so confused

i will look over this and try to fix it all thank u

[opaque tiger]

why do i get this error? The check functions for command reload_cog failed. and how can i solve in in on_command_error? in disnake

[slate swan]

why not just fix the check functions, otherwise your command will never work

[opaque tiger]

wdym?

[slate swan]

the check functions are failing for the command, there must be something wrong with them

does it work otherwise?

[slate swan]

Why not use f strings EDIT: I’ve read the code

[opaque tiger]

in the check, am checking if the user of the command is a owner, and when i use the command (am the owner) it shows no error, but when someone else uses it, it shows the error
the code:

    async def cog_check(self, ctx: commands.Context):
        if not await self.bot.is_owner(ctx.author):
            await ctx.reply(
                "Only the Members of Dev Team are allowed to use this command!!"
            )
            return False
        
        return True

[slate swan]

Just use commands.has_any_role?

!d discord.ext.commands.has_any_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_any\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_any_role(*items)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has **any** of the roles specified. This means that if they have one out of the three roles specified, then this check will return True.

Similar to [`has_role()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role "discord.ext.commands.has_role"), the names or IDs passed in must be exact.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") if the user is missing all roles, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

[opaque tiger]

also it does sends the Only the Members of Dev Team are allowed to use this command!! message when a non owner uses it @slate swan

[slate swan]

so where's the error?

[opaque tiger]

it also prints the error, after showing the message

[slate swan]

oh ic

[slate swan]

I recommend you to use @commands.is_owner and add error handler. Something like thispy cog_check.error async def cog_error()

👍

......?

[regal cove]

wait nothing i will delete that

[opaque tiger]

didnt got you...

[maiden fable]

That's a thing? Idk

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_command\_error

await cog_command_error(ctx, error)```
A special method that is called whenever an error is dispatched inside this cog.

This is similar to [`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") except only applying to the commands inside this cog.

This **must** be a coroutine.

[maiden fable]

This? 👀

[slate swan]

For example```py
@commands.command()
@command.is_owner()
async def hello(self, ctx):
await ctx.send("hey")

@hello.error
async def hello_error(self, ctx, error):
... ```

[maiden fable]

Why local error handler, just why

[slate swan]

Idk i just prefer that

🤓

[opaque tiger]

umm......

[slate swan]

Eh u dont get it

[opaque tiger]

lets not use local handlers...

[slate swan]

I mean

Y not??

[surreal sierra]

hi, why does my code not work? Im using a .ini file as config file but I only get errors when I try to run it and I have tried to print the token and that works, it does print the correct token

config.ini

[Bot]
TOKEN = 'BOT_TOKEN'

main.py

# Config File
file = 'config.ini'
config = ConfigParser()
config.read(file)

bot.run(config['Bot']['TOKEN'])

Error:

    raise LoginFailure('Improper token has been passed.') from exc
discord.errors.LoginFailure: Improper token has been passed.ilure: Improper token has been passed.

[slate swan]

Get a new token

[opaque tiger]

the token's not correct?

[surreal sierra]

I have tried it, just 1 min ago

[slate swan]

Mmmm

Is it bot token or an acc token?

[surreal sierra]

Its a bot token

[slate swan]

then it should work

[surreal sierra]

but it doesnt.....

[slate swan]

:| eeh

[opaque tiger]

maybe the token got regenerated?

[opaque tiger]

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

Just use @commands.is_owner deco then

[maiden fable]

Do one thing

[surreal sierra]

nope, I just generated a new token and it does the same thing

[surreal sierra]

what?

[maiden fable]

Print the token, and paste it here BUT remove the part after the 2nd period in the token... That's one of the most important part of the token, so there won't be any chances of token leak by this way

[slate swan]

Did u see the new system?

[opaque tiger]

actually got the solve

[surreal sierra]

but why do I have to paste it here even if it is not the whole token... how would that help?

[maiden fable]

Yup

[maiden fable]

Hmm well... try putting the token directly. Then, does it work?

[slate swan]

discord gettin stronger

[maiden fable]

Meh, useless changes. They should focus on bringing context menus to mobiles first

[surreal sierra]

yea it does work if I put the token directly there

[slate swan]

agreed

[maiden fable]

That's.... weird

BTW, may I ask why r u using an ini file?

I mean, most people use env files and such

[surreal sierra]

well is there a reason I shouldnt use ini? It is just that file Im used to

[slate swan]

Is json better than yaml?

[maiden fable]

Ah, gotcha. Was just asking since not many people use ini

Weird... it should work, I mean

Can u try running it again? The bot

And r u sure u r parsing the correct ini file? (In case there are multiple ini files)

[surreal sierra]

just same error and I only have 1 .ini file

[maiden fable]

sigh

[surreal sierra]

maybe I should just try to use .env instead, Ig

[maiden fable]

Ash, Saad, got any ideas?

[maiden fable]

But it should work tbh

[slate swan]

Eh nope

i've never used ini.

[maiden fable]

Same, but since they are saying that it's printing the correct token, it should work

[surreal sierra]

yea its weird... it should work

[hushed galleon]

have you double checked that the token is correctly parsed by printing it?

[maiden fable]

I mean, a few people before too have used ini files

[slate swan]

I've seen alot of ppl using ini files for gta sa moding

[surreal sierra]

yea... the token is correct and I have generated new tokens multiple times if it was something wrong with the token

[maiden fable]

ini files are used by most games as config files, not only mods, not a new thing

[slate swan]

Ic ic

[hushed galleon]

if it worked fine pasting the token into your code then its very likely something happened during parsing

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @maiden fable! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[maiden fable]

it's half token

[hushed galleon]

shrug

[maiden fable]

ODAwOTc4yMjI1MzkxNjU2.YAZ_.TO8k7-5suwuHU0pls

There

Is yr token also like this, but longer?

[slow fog]

even decades ago its been used by windows itself lol but after a while microsoft created Registry Editor

[maiden fable]

It should have 2 periods

[maiden fable]

Oh, never knew that

[surreal sierra]

it looks like that, not longer or so

[oak warren]

wow i just realized that

[maiden fable]

Should be of like, around 50 chars

[oak warren]

i have an OG token

[maiden fable]

The first part refers to the Bot ID
The second part refers to the datetime at which it was generated
The third part is a super duper secret discord authentication code

[surreal sierra]

yea.... there is nothing wrong with the token...

[maiden fable]

ThTs how @unkempt canyon also decides if a token is fake or not

[oak warren]

X5q2IQ how tf will this help as datetime ( its an used token aka not vaild token )

smh my brain

[slate swan]

i can relate

[oak warren]

after a session of reading the new dpy docs that brain will be gone ngl
the new dpy is super hard

to understand

[slate swan]

The new dpy docs looks like disnake docs

[slate swan]

Yep they added alot of stuff

[oak warren]

i mean the new features

[slate swan]

True

[oak warren]

like CommandTree

[vocal snow]

Have you tried printing config['Bot']['Token']?

[oak warren]

just this

[oak warren]

https://tenor.com/view/saturday-t-he-point-went-over-your-head-pun-stick-animation-gif-8654562

[slate swan]

Wut does that do?

[oak warren]

iirc its to make slash commands and app commands

[slate swan]

Ohh

[oak warren]

you cant use the disnake way to do it

and i find the disnake way easier

[slate swan]

Agreed

I believe that uhm alot of forks of dpy are going to shutdown

Ig🤷🏾

[oak warren]

i dont think so

if the forks are easier to use then the main lib i will say majority will switch

[slate swan]

Yep

[slow fog]

this emoji looks funny lmao

[maiden fable]

It's converted to base64

Same with Bot ID

[slow fog]

sus

[vale wing]

You forgot the indent

And they are messed up as I can see

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

how do i fix the error

[vale wing]

I physically can't edit your code to the correct form

Just align it

If I can call it that

[slate swan]

okay

[vale wing]

But uh you know about python indents right?

[slate swan]

yes i do,just forgot about that because i didn't code for days because of exam

[gaunt ice]

when i am runnig this

[slate swan]

@bot.comand() 
async def feed(ctx):
    food = ["cheese","burrito","taco","popcorn","burger","chocolate","cookie","sushi","spaghetti","bread","noodle","eggplant","peach"]    
    re2 = ["Ben liked that a lot","Thank you","Ben didn't like that","More? please?","more","Ben wanted to eat something else..","im already full!","Tasty!","yummy","delicious!","blehh","no"]
         await ctx.send(embed=emb)

    def check(msg):
         return msg.author == ctx.author and msg.channel == ctx.channel and msg.content in ["cheese","burrito","taco","popcorn","burger","chocolate","cookie","sushi","spaghetti","bread","noodle","eggplant","peach"]

msg = await bot.wait_for("message",check=check)

    if msg.content == food:
         await ctx.send(random.choice(re2))
   else:
        await ctx.send("What? thats not even in the fridge....") 

@vale wing is it aligned now?

[vale wing]

Wrong

msg = ... must be in the code block

[slate swan]

and the if statement too

[vale wing]

@slate swan what code editor do you use

[buoyant quail]

seems like notepad)

[vale wing]

Really

[slate swan]

idle is a thing too

[maiden fable]

b64encode

[vale wing]

Well I am guessing this is replit

[slate swan]

notepad ofc

[maiden fable]

lol

[buoyant quail]

xd

[maiden fable]

It is a text editor, not an IDE BTW

[inner wing]

How get message link from message obj?

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Message.jump_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.jump\_url

property jump_url```
Returns a URL that allows the client to jump to this message.

[uncut zephyr]

Hey,
I want to use my Discord Bot on multiple servers. But there is a big Problem I have to solve.
Its a game Bot and if you would start a game on different servers at the same time, they would interfere with each other, which would be really bad.

Is there a way to avoid this easily? Or do I have to check every Input for its origin?

[hushed galleon]

if the game is started through a command, you should try to stick inside that scope by using methods like client.wait_for(), that way you dont need an always running event handler

wait_for provides a check parameter you can use to only receive messages from a specific member/channel

[uncut zephyr]

yes its started through a command, but a lot of stuff is happening in "on_message".

[uncut zephyr]

It should be possible to play this game at the same time at different servers without problems, would this be possible?

[hushed galleon]

yeah wait_for makes that pretty clean to do

[uncut zephyr]

that would be amazing.
While playing I am saving data in files (and later in a sql database), could this be a problem?

[hushed galleon]

though if your games are long-running (to the point where you store sessions in a database) then event handlers would be easier

[uncut zephyr]

one game is like 15min

Which way is easier to learn and which is easier to expand later on? 🙈

[hushed galleon]

i think wait_for is both easier and simpler than running an on_mesaage, but it wont be suitable for listening to messages across bot restarts

there's an example on how to use it in the docs

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.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 v3.10)"). 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 v3.10)") 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 v3.10)") 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**...

[maiden fable]

It returns the same args, which that particular event takes

[uncut zephyr]

This sounds very specific. When the game starts, The bot will start a "guessing" game and everyone has to write there guesses until someone got the right one (or the time runs up).
Its easy with on_message -> just check if the words are correct.
Would this be possible with "wait_for"? And does "wait_for" replaces "on_message"?

[cold sonnet]

just check for the right word in the wait_for's check function

click on the hyperlink in the tag and see some examples for yourself

[uncut zephyr]

okay I will. If this works you saved me soo much time haha

[cold sonnet]

you pass the check function to your wait_for and it will only pass if what the check returns is either an object or a True type bool

[uncut zephyr]

But this sounds like I can only start one game in general.
let me read the doc. for a moment

[cold sonnet]

no, wait_for is still asynchronous

[hushed galleon]

you can have a dozen commands all running their own wait_fors

[uncut zephyr]

yeah thats exactly what I need. Sorry one more question to clarify.
I have a variable which contains all people who send words in.
Would this variable be unique for each Server or would it be a mix from everywhere? (If I understood correctly, it would be unique for each Server right?)

[hushed galleon]

yeah every time the command is run, you're creating new variables in that scope

[cold sonnet]

depends

where do you create the var

[slate swan]

if its empty yeah it would make an instance

if its in the method*

[cold sonnet]

[scarlet rune]

how do i make this list of available options on slash command?

[uncut zephyr]

The current version of the bot is (for me) quit big and cointains multiple commands, functions and a lot of stuff is going on in "on_message" and "@tasks.loop() async def send_message():"

And this is all needed to run a game. Do I have to recode everything then?😅

[slate swan]

if you're doing a guessing game or something along the lines yes you should, you can probably do it in just one method

[cold sonnet]

well, there's always a better way to do what you did

[uncut zephyr]

Yeah absolutely and it was one of my first projects in general. But I think recoding everything would take just soo much time.

[slate swan]

programming is all about taking time and have patience

[cold sonnet]

don't seem right to me either

[slate swan]

every programmer should have patience i.e getting an error and not freaking out

[cold sonnet]

the import nextcord line already

[hushed galleon]

depends on the library you use that provides slash commands, you should check their documentation

[uncut zephyr]

Thanks for your help guys. Not completely sure what to do now, but way smarter then before

[cold sonnet]

json for db?

[jolly basalt]

How do I make a bot join the vc Im currently on. I have all the intent stuff done

[maiden fable]

Okay so

I think I myself need some help understanding my totally-not-copied code

[cold sonnet]

[jolly basalt]

XD

[cold sonnet]

get channel

!d discord.VoiceChannel.connect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.connect

await connect(*, timeout=60.0, reconnect=True, cls=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Connects to voice and creates a [`VoiceClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.VoiceClient "discord.VoiceClient") to establish your connection to the voice server.

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

why did you deleted the msg

[desert badger]

disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: UnsupportedOperation: not readable help

    with open('uploads.json', "w") as f:
        data = json.load(f)

[sick birch]

You can't read from it without read perms

[maiden fable]

Yea, u gotta do r

[sick birch]

When you specify w it doesn't even load the contents into memory

[buoyant quail]

"w" means write

[sick birch]

^w^

[desert badger]

ohhh sorry

thank

[sick birch]

np

[paper sluice]

lets say i have a command

async def command(ctx, one_arg):
    pass

is there a way to make it so that while calling, all other args get ignored

!command onearg ignored_arg

without going and adding *arg to it?

[placid skiff]

You can assign parameters to None, so if the user would send them they became what the user sent, otherways they're None

[sacred blaze]

hey guy can some help me with opencv puttext display ui

[slate swan]

optional arguments

[quick gust]

I believe that's not what they asked

They want the command to still work if more than required arguments are given

is what I figured

[paper sluice]

yes

[placid skiff]

WTF?

[slate swan]

then no

[paper sluice]

like i got 20 commands, i dont wanna be adding *args to each of them

[slate swan]

*args refers to a unknown amount of arguments which returns a tuple

[desert badger]

can multiple things be saved in one saving thingy in json ? so its like test: "1" "2" "3" ?

    current_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls']
    updated_urls = f"{current_urls}" + url
``` cuz this is just saving it inside the used ""

[buoyant quail]

list

[desert badger]

how i do that

[buoyant quail]

umm... {"test": ["1", "2", "3"]}

[desert badger]

and how do i make my bot save it like this? lol

[slate swan]

save it as an int

so the list has ints and not strings that are ints

[hushed galleon]

this is the default behavior for commands actually, the ignore_extra parameter for command() defaults to True

[buoyant quail]

he asked it like strings

[desert badger]

i want it to save strings

[slate swan]

fair point but im not sure if its still a correct way

[desert badger]

what i want to save is links lol

[slate swan]

ah

then yeah a list or tuples are fine

[desert badger]

        data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = [url]

``` does this work

thats what i want to do if there are no urls in it lol

[buoyant quail]

yes, why not

[desert badger]

wait can i just send my code to someone to help me with it? :-:

[slate swan]

just use len

[boreal ravine]

json

[slate swan]

!e print(len({1: 2}))

[unkempt canyon]

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

1

[desert badger]

yea, json i dont use sql or anything atm.

im confused can someone just look at my code

[slate swan]

havent you been given answers already?

[paper sluice]

thanks 👍🏻

[buoyant quail]

!e print(not {})

[unkempt canyon]

@buoyant quail :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[slate swan]

will always give true as an empty dict is False

[buoyant quail]

ik

[slate swan]

just saying to everyone lol

[buoyant quail]

ahh

[desert badger]

    with open("uploads.json", "r") as f:
        data = json.load(f)
    
    if str(ctx.author.id) not in data:
        data[str(ctx.author.id)] = {}
        data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] = 1
        data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = [url] #hope this works

        with open("uploads.json", "w") as f:
            json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
    
    current_uploads = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads']
    current_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls']

    updated_uploads = current_uploads + 1
    updated_urls = f"{current_urls}" # i want it to save another url seperated
    
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] = updated_uploads

    with open('uploads.json', "w") as f:
        json.dump(data, f, indent = 2)
```where do i do what lol i marked it with "#"

[slate swan]

try it out

[desert badger]

its not even finished bruh

look at updated urls

marked it with "#"

[boreal ravine]

i want it to save another url seperated
save another URL then?

[desert badger]

BRUH HOW IM CONFUSED BRO THATS WHY IM HERE

ahem caps lol

[boreal ravine]

the same way you saved the URL

[buoyant quail]

.append

do you know what is list xd?

[desert badger]

so i just do this bruh or what

[desert badger]

havent really used that stuff

[buoyant quail]

bruh

[boreal ravine]

.. what?

[desert badger]

thats how i saved a url

u told me to use it again

[desert heart]

data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append("new url here")

The "urls" key stores a list, so you can just append a new one like that.

[desert badger]

    updated_uploads = current_uploads + 1
    updated_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] = updated_uploads
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = updated_urls
``` like this ? :)

[boreal ravine]

No

[buoyant quail]

append changes list

[boreal ravine]

that will overrite the old key

[buoyant quail]

it returns None

[desert badger]

    updated_uploads = current_uploads + 1
    updated_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] = updated_uploads
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = updated_urls


    with open('uploads.json', "w") as f:
        json.dump(data, f, indent = 2)
``` thats the whole thing btw lol

what do i have to change ?

[buoyant quail]

data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)

and delete updated_urls =
and this too data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = updated_urls

[desert heart]

You don't need to use the return value of append. Just call append and you're done - you can dump it to a file.

[desert badger]

help im confused :(

[desert heart]

append modifies the list in-place rather than returning a new one

[desert badger]

can someone edit my code? im really confused rn...

[boreal ravine]

how are you confused?

[desert badger]

my brain is small

[sick birch]

Where did you define data?

[boreal ravine]

why do you have ```py
data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = updated_urls

[desert badger]

sec i sent wrong code

[buoyant quail]

with open("uploads.json", "r") as f:
    data = json.load(f)
if str(ctx.author.id) not in data:
    data[str(ctx.author.id)] = {'total_uploads': 1, 'urls': [url]}
data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] += 1
data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)
with open('uploads.json', "w") as f:
    json.dump(data, f, indent=2)

learn python first pls

[desert badger]

    with open("uploads.json", "r") as f:
        data = json.load(f)
    
    if str(ctx.author.id) not in data:
        data[str(ctx.author.id)] = {}
        data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] = 1
        data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = [url] #hope this works

        with open("uploads.json", "w") as f:
            json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
    
    current_uploads = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads']
    current_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls']

    updated_uploads = current_uploads + 1
    updated_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] = updated_uploads
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = updated_urls


    with open('uploads.json', "w") as f:
        json.dump(data, f, indent = 2)

[sick birch]

This is why I hate json, it turns into [] and str() hell

[boreal ravine]

    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = updated_urls
``` why do you need this

[desert badger]

cuz i thought its correct

:(

[sick birch]

Perhaps consider using a database?

[buoyant quail]

^

[sick birch]

!d discord.User.status

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") instead.

[desert badger]

i did that once, i dont like it cuz it didnt work lol

[sick birch]

How would it not work

[boreal ravine]

Remove it, and do you know what overwriting means

[boreal ravine]

don't spoonfeed, they will never learn that way

[buoyant quail]

idk

i have learnt good by examples

[desert badger]

and what do i do in the

    current_uploads = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads']
    current_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls']

    updated_uploads = current_uploads + 1
    updated_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] = updated_uploads
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'] = updated_urls

[desert badger]

problem is im learning since about 8 months and im still getting confused easily, once i get examples my brain works again smh

[buoyant quail]

its this:

data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] += 1
data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)

[boreal ravine]

• why does time matter? It doesn't take long to get good at python, it's one of the easiest languages to learn
• you mean getting spononfeeded?

[desert badger]

why does it save it 3 times lol

[buoyant quail]

cause variable url didn't change

[desert badger]

    with open("uploads.json", "r") as f:
        data = json.load(f)
    
    if str(ctx.author.id) not in data:
        data[str(ctx.author.id)] = {'total_uploads': 1, 'urls': [url]}
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] += 1
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)
    with open('uploads.json', "w") as f:
        json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
    
    current_uploads = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads']
    current_urls = data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls']

    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['total_uploads'] += 1
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url)


    with open('uploads.json', "w") as f:
        json.dump(data, f, indent = 2)

[desert badger]

and that means ?

[buoyant quail]

'urls': [url] first time
data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url) second time
data[str(ctx.author.id)]['urls'].append(url) third time

[desert badger]

oh i think i did something wrong

[boreal ravine]

!resources :)

[desert badger]

what do i have to do help :(

[buoyant quail]

url="another link"

idk where you store another urls to save
