[narrow grail]

and channel id or setup the channel

yeah

[slate swan]

i was going to ask abt auditlogs but nvm i got it

[honest shoal]

how are you setting it up

[slate swan]

it'll be, member.guild.id

[narrow grail]

a command

[slate swan]

then make a command that sets the channel id and the "welcome message" and store it to ur db

[honest shoal]

and where are you saving it?

[narrow grail]

i know but I need also a channel for it

[narrow grail]

that was my plan so btw idk how to make this command

[slate swan]

no it will be (imsmart: discord.Member) 🧞

[slate swan]

@client.command()

[narrow grail]

no no not this xd

[slim ibex]

discord.Client doesn't have commands

[slate swan]

okay, just pretend I made a lame joke on this and you are laughing on that

[slate swan]

i meant ```bot.command()

[honest shoal]

@native granite*

🗿

[slate swan]

lol

[slate swan]

eh im too lazy to add (at symbol)

[narrow grail]

I mean what the code is for setting it up

[slate swan]

which db you're using ?

[narrow grail]

i think the one from replit

[slim ibex]

..

[narrow grail]

xd

[slate swan]

ew

[slate swan]

uh never used replit so idk wut u talking abt

[slim ibex]

good

[honest shoal]

use data monkey

[narrow grail]

I do it only for tests

[slim ibex]

sqlite

[slate swan]

or nosql db

[narrow grail]

it's my first bot

[slim ibex]

ew (was for @slate swan)

[slate swan]

W thats great

[narrow grail]

but I'm thinking about to buy a vps

[slate swan]

i mean im just too lazy to learn (CREATE table TEXT) stuff like these 💀 so thats why i prefer nosql cuz it has the same syntax as json

[left crater]

if you want i can dm you the full command

[slate swan]

OMG

[slim ibex]

learn Redis then

its multi model.

im using it for my backend tech stack

[slate swan]

oh

[slim ibex]

its extremely fast also

although mopstly used for caching, it can be a primary db

[narrow grail]

oh really? I have experience in JSON

[slim ibex]

its not the exact same

[left crater]

anyone know why this is happening?

[slate swan]

then use mongodb (easy to learn)

Hey, Im trying to run a discord bot atm but im getting this error when running it. This works perfectly fine on my VPS but not my local machine?

Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:default [The parameter is incorrect]
https://pastebin.com/YMPUCutv

You cant use `` or any other message formatting things in the footer

better off using "

ok i like that way

how to fix this when someone other issues command and shows the older message same thing as new message

when changing pages*

[maiden fable]

Uhhhh

msg = await ctx.send(...)
await msg.edit(...)

?

[cold sonnet]

me just seeing MR. Soop get ignored

[slate swan]

this thing updates the whole thing i think

[cold sonnet]

youtube videos 😎

[slate swan]

bro

i am googling the problem

i dont find the solution

[cold sonnet]

and what's user = member for

what's the issue overall

didn't understand your message before

[slate swan]

when i issue the inv command

and switch to other page

[cold sonnet]

wdym issue

[vital steeple]

Hey im getting an error

[slate swan]

send

the error

[slate swan]

code

"pop_random_line1" is a string, not a function, make sure you didnt overwrite it previously

[vital steeple]

`def pop_random_line1():
"""picks a random line from a file, then deletes the line"""
with open("Day Chair Keys.txt", "r") as file:
lines = file.readlines()

chosen_index = random.randrange(0, len(lines))
chosen_line = lines[chosen_index]

with open("Day Chair Keys.txt", "w") as file:
    del lines[chosen_index]
    file.writelines(lines)

return chosen_line

@client.command()
async def DayChair(ctx):
roles = [role.name for role in ctx.message.author.roles]
if 'Owner' in roles:
line = await pop_random_line1()
await ctx.message.reply(line)
else:
await ctx.message.reply("You don't have the permission to execute the command!")
await asyncio.sleep(5)
await ctx.send("INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE TYPED HERE")
`

[vital steeple]

i just stated my code, whats the fix for it

[slate swan]

try renaming pop_random_line1() to something very unique like "ajsadoasipdas" just to completely rule out that the function is getting overwriten

oh

[vital steeple]

yeah lmao

[slate swan]

your using an await on a none asnync function, change "def pop_random_line1():" to "async def pop_random_line1()"

or just remove the await

[vital steeple]

what do you mean

[normal folio]

he meant run the command

[cold sonnet]

delete that pic Aero

we don't wanna have ToS breaking proof

[slate swan]

sure no one will ban me for that lmfao, but your right., not worth the risk

[vital steeple]

ay @slate swan thanks for the help pal

[slate swan]

np

[cold sonnet]

oh invoke, well what happens then ah, ah?

[slate swan]

kk

so basically when enter the command and change pages it goes everything well (shows my inv)

but when other user enters the same command (if he changes pages of his own msg it shows his inv)

and i change my page it shows other users inventory

[cold sonnet]

you should make a new View object everytime when entering the command

[slate swan]

i want to make so when someone enters the command

it doesnt update the old message

[cold sonnet]

show the command

[slate swan]

uh

[normal folio]

send him in dms

[cold sonnet]

why

[normal folio]

cuz no flood?

[cold sonnet]

nobody steals code here

[normal folio]

I do /j

[cold sonnet]

especially not youtube tutorial code based on the naming

[slate swan]

i will send

where it might be an issue

[cold sonnet]

this doesn't show much

[slate swan]

other ones are same as em4

[normal folio]

Just send whole code in dms cuz it is very big

[slate swan]

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[cold sonnet]

why did I even think of a view

doesn't matter

[normal folio]

don'tn'tn't do this

[cold sonnet]

page does never change

in your code

[slate swan]

it does

if i enter the command and change pages it shows mine but like if someone enters the command it shows the someone's other inventory instead of mine

[cold sonnet]

if you enter a member?

[slate swan]

uh

basically yeah

just lemme make a vid rq

[cold sonnet]

that's exactly what you coded

[slate swan]

i hope that explains

[cold sonnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPaadO_sRD4 you watching this?

[slate swan]

shows his instead of mine

[cold sonnet]

but it works for hypeblox

[normal folio]

hypeblock

[cold sonnet]

shut

[normal folio]

dym

[slate swan]

yea it works for him

[cold sonnet]

how's your json?

[normal folio]

It's my name

[slate swan]

but for me it shows his inv

[slate swan]

uhh lets not talk about that

its fine but its messy

[cold sonnet]

well idk then bro

[slate swan]

but like

[cold sonnet]

watch the swastik video again 😿

[slate swan]

if he issues the command it shows his inventory for me

i want to make so my issued command doesnt update into his inventory

but when he uses it shows his

the problem wasnt even related to the operators and the error says it all?

[slate swan]

bro you can set a variable and check it in a if statement?

how do I remove all specific members from a channel? like if the member has specific permissions to see a channel (not bc of his role) it removes him

[slate swan]

!e

isnt their an attr that shows all the members that can see the channel?

[slate swan]

Oh wait

[slate swan]

member cannot be None. If discord.py can't resolve the member from the input the invoker provides, then commands.MemberNotFound is raised. You will have to catch this in a command error handler if you intend to check for it.

[junior verge]

I got that fixed already bro but thanks

Yup

amount: int = 1

[junior verge]

@slate swan Would that work?

so much things to make better tbh

Try responding to them ephemerally and then changing the overwrites.

[slate swan]

is there anyway i can define interaction.user in a command?

[slate swan]

@slate swan did you find the prob? Idk why this is happening. everything is fine i think?

[junior verge]

How do I?

[slate swan]

.

[narrow grail]

yep

[frozen patio]

.

[slate swan]

There's no issue with your code as I established earlier. I'm not sure what's going wrong, can you try rerunning the code?

[dull terrace]

game coming along nicely, have sprites for dynamite and other items now. only shows explosions on non dug out land

[slate swan]

oooh

[slate swan]

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, why do you need to define interaction.user?

[slate swan]

I have before. Do you think it's a problem with VS?

@slate swan Are you using the commands extension?

[slate swan]

VS as in Visual Studio? No, that's not probable.

[slate swan]

because when someone runs the command i want the view_channel perms to become False for the user to created that ticket using the button

[slate swan]

pretty nice

Oh

should add hp

Who can help me?

timtoy take over ima take a break

Ask away

Anyone please

Types are hinted by :, not =

foo: str = "bar"

like amount : int = 1

Trying to revive ah,ah

[slate swan]

You want to use a colon to tell discord.py that you will only accept amount if it can be converted to a valid int

[pliant gulch]

The typehint only tells discord.py to cast it to int

[maiden fable]

discord? nvm u mean dpy

[pliant gulch]

Regardless if it's valid or not I'm pretty sure it tries to run

[dull terrace]

thanks

[frozen patio]

Hello, I have a new error with my ticketing bot that I have never seen before

Here is my code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/etecugifok

[dull terrace]

trying to think of a fun way to give visual feedback when a player teleports or uses an energy item

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[dull terrace]

i was going to make a glow outline around them in different colors but its messy with cosmetics

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[slate swan]

Since nothing seems to work do you have any suggestions?

[slate swan]

I'm not sure this is relevant but what version of Python are you running this with?

[frozen patio]

3.10.2

[dull terrace]

50% opacity blue lines infront of the person for teleporter could work

[junior verge]

This will also just purge when I just do .purge, then I don't want it to purge

[slate swan]

How are you invoking the ping command?

[slate swan]

timtoy?

[slate swan]

;ping

Can you also run python3 -m discord -v and show us the version

[frozen patio]

It says what version

in my console

3.10.2

[slate swan]

instead of amount +1use await ctx.message.delete

[pliant gulch]

That would mean you need two API calls instead of one

[normal folio]

He rlly needs help

[pliant gulch]

Not a very good optimisation

[slate swan]

Ok so there's a couple things wrong here.
You don't have to use bot.get_guild() here. Use ctx.guild instead.
Why do you need to call ctx.reply()? The command should just close the ticket and that's the end of it, right?
The fox variable is unused from what I can see.

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.reply

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.reply

await reply(content=None, **kwargs)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A shortcut method to [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") to reply to the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message").

New in version 1.6.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.10)") or [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "(in Python v3.10)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[slate swan]

It replies to the message that invoked the command, are you sure you want this? Did you mean to use ctx.send() instead?

[tame nymph]

does this mean bots can join group dms

[manic wing]

why are you asking this here mate

[tame nymph]

it's #discord-bots

[normal folio]

for python.

[tame nymph]

yeah

this can be done with Python

[manic wing]

yes but nobody knows stuff to this detail here

[tame nymph]

are they all this "smart"?

good for them

[slate swan]

okay

[manic wing]

maybe this is why you're almost banned 😳

[tame nymph]

[slate swan]

i use ctx.reply because it responds with more buttons so a mod can choose what to do next

[slate swan]

Uh, no. Bots cannot use this endpoint.

That endpoint also creates a group dm, it doesn't join one.

[slate swan]

wuts the point of discord making this lmao

Why they still have it documented publicly? I'm not sure.

Why they have it in the first place? Because regular users exist. We are allowed to create group channels.

maybe they support Tos breakers

[slate swan]

No, the distinction between regular user accounts and bot accounts wasn't always this defined.

[slate swan]

ah

[pliant gulch]

This basically means, give the bot Oauth2 scopes, to gain the access tokens, then just call this endpoint with the list of access tokens & their respective IDs. This then creates a group DM with all those user, not including the bot

[slate swan]

Before Discord implemented OAuth2 for adding bots to guilds, you had to basically scrape invite links to join guilds. It was a weird time.

[pliant gulch]

Oauth2 can preform actions like this, for an example making a member join a guild

[tame nymph]

not including the bot?

😢

[pliant gulch]

Well bot's can't exist in a group DM

[tame nymph]

Gotta keep up the hard work for discord to add this feature

[slate swan]

I'm also pretty sure you need Discord to actually give you access to request said scopes.

[pliant gulch]

Go through code grant

[slate swan]

And I completely forgot why this is publicly documented. Thanks for the refresher.

[pliant gulch]

No not this I was thinking of something else lmao

You'd request the same way you make your bot's invite URL 😃

You can add scopes, such as gdm.join

[slate swan]

That one is a bit annoying I find

I usually cut it out of the url before accepting.

One time I got added to like 3 guilds

And got 6 automated DMs

[pliant gulch]

Oauth2 is just annoying in general

I refuse to read the RFC, I got tired of RFCs after reading all of websockets

[slate swan]

I mean it's not that bad

[tame nymph]

is discord planning to add bots to group dms

[slate swan]

No

[tame nymph]

we need this feature like real bad

[pliant gulch]

Strong 100% no

[slate swan]

No

[tame nymph]

why not though

[slate swan]

no

[pliant gulch]

Why need it though?

[slate swan]

Bots are meant for guilds, really.

[tame nymph]

so people in the gc can use the bot

[pliant gulch]

Just make a guild????

[slate swan]

I mean you can do more fishy stuff in DMs

[narrow grail]

how to make a delay till the bot response?

[tame nymph]

but what if you have oauth2 and deleting a guild is super annoying

[slate swan]

Besides, making a guild is now simpler than ever. It literally takes 4 clicks.

[pliant gulch]

Getting an access token is much harder than deleting a guild

[tame nymph]

true

[slate swan]

Does anyone know how I would go about seeing WHO updated a "member"

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

[narrow grail]

how to make a delay till the bot response?

[slate swan]

What?

You mean 2FA?

[tame nymph]

yeah

mb

[slate swan]

Besides you enabled 2FA, cope.

[tame nymph]

Discord forced me to enable 2FA

[slate swan]

How so?

[tame nymph]

creating teams in developer portal requires 2FA

[slate swan]

Ha that feature sucks, I'm surprised you even use it

[tame nymph]

ikr

[pliant gulch]

Haven't heard of anyone even actually using it for real

Last time I checked the payout system didn't even work

[normal folio]

moderating discord server (To have moderation powers you must have 2fa)

[slate swan]

It's just another one of those things Discord wasted their R&D on.

It was your choice to moderate someone else's server.

[pliant gulch]

Not unless they turned on a setting

[slate swan]

Discord isn't forcing anything upon you. If 2FA is inconvenient enough, just opt out of it.

[slate swan]

Community servers require 2FA anyways.

[dull terrace]

sprite behind player after using teleporter, look okay? 🤔

[slate swan]

Wrong channel

[pliant gulch]

Kind of useless anyways

[slate swan]

jeez i can't type

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Deprecated since version 3.8, removed in version 3.10: The `loop` parameter. This function has been implicitly getting the current running loop since 3.7. See [What’s New in 3.10’s Removed section](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#whatsnew310-removed) for more information.

how do i fix this?
code : https://paste.pythondiscord.com/asaquhopaq

What are you trying to fix?

bruh

basically i enter command and loads my inventory then friend enters command too and loads his inventory and then when i switch pages it shows his inventory not mine

Good luck, your code is a pretty unholy mess to read and diagnose.

That's due to the fact that you're just parsing a json file

Use a database instead, it should make the process easier

how

[hushed galleon]

according to the start of your clip you do have a cookie in your second page, but regardless the likely issue is that you're using a bot variable to store the pages

[slate swan]

Oh, my bad. I was looking at the wrong code

Yours doesn't use JSON

[hushed galleon]

well they do

[normal folio]

I have cookies in second page

[slate swan]

ye pretty much it doesnt...

[normal folio]

Atleast it doesn't use space

[hushed galleon]

so was the start of the clip another reproduction of the bug too?

[hushed galleon]

the likely issue is that you're using a bot variable to store the pages

[slate swan]

code here

[hushed galleon]

it doesnt seem necessary to have a bot var in the first place

define your help_pages as a regular variable and it won't get shared across commands

[normal folio]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'help_pages'

[normal folio]

msg = await ctx.reply(embed=help_pages[current])

[hushed galleon]

are you using bot.help_pages anywhere else?

[vital steeple]

im getting that error

[slate swan]

no only inventory command

[hushed galleon]

it means they have their dms locked, probably so they dont get annoyed by mass DMs...

[stone beacon]

Their dms are 99% locked

Assuming they're in your server

[pliant gulch]

Your bot seems to facilitate cheats, and in this server we don't help with projects that break ToS

[hushed galleon]

then that error means you still have a line that's using bot.help_pages

[stone beacon]

oh damn , I have not the talent to read anything over 20 words

🗿

[normal folio]

Fixed! Thanks really much we spent 3 hours to fix it ;-; (Yes we dump, p but b)

[robust jacinth]

can i somehow check how many times a user has boosted the server?

[hushed galleon]

discord doesnt provide that information

[royal oar]

Does anyone know why this is happening at all? Admin perms work but otherwise everything else says invalid permissions?

[manic wing]

whats the invite link?

[royal oar]

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=927413177455640607&permissions=1540017749622&scope=bot

[manic wing]

well the permissions is wrong

https://discordapi.com/permissions.html

[royal oar]

I used that

and used the url generator

[manic wing]

well you used it wrong

[normal folio]

As temp fix just use 8 for permissions

[royal oar]

mk

[royal oar]

That works but my bot doesnt need admin perms.

[robust jacinth]

how do other bots check it then

for example "booster bot"

[normal folio]

Did booster bot use python? Maybe.

[pliant gulch]

What does python have to do here?

Regardless of language the API doesn't give out that information

You'd need to do inconsistent ways, such as tracking system messages 😃

[hushed galleon]

does it only send out one message if you bought multiple boosts?

[pliant gulch]

I remember getting two boosts, and boosting them seperately not all together, that produced two messages

Maybe boosting it all together would produce one message but I'm not sure

Well, the only thing the role does it let you know the user has boosted

Not the boost number, which they were trying to get

That's gonna be very API Intensive

Also what about bot outages?

Then you have dead data

Either way discord never meant for bot's to be able to do this

Same thing with invite tracking, they discourage it because of advertising or whatever

[hushed galleon]

oh i only just noticed, booster bot doesnt seem to have any feature for listing the boost count for a specific user, they can only state the total boosts which discord does provide with Guild.premium_subscription_count
(or maybe they can and i just cant tell from their docs)

[pliant gulch]

I'm sure nitro boosting would fall under the same category

[unkempt yacht]

Is this cog fine? When I run the command, the embed isn't sent however I don't receive any error too. I'm a bit confused. https://pastebin.com/cegdZNfa

[minor totem]

Are you sure that the extension is loaded?

[slate swan]

why do my buttons timeout even if i have timeout=None

[pliant gulch]

Do you close your bot then reload it?

Buttons aren't persistent by default

[slate swan]

well i’ve kept vsc open for a while, but i’m hosting it on heroku

[pliant gulch]

The futures (or at least I think discord.py is using Future) won't timeout if you set the timeout to None

You'd have to stop the view manually or, if the bot restarted

[slate swan]

i’m using pycord

[pliant gulch]

Pycord forks discord.py

[slate swan]

ooohhh

so i have to stop the view manually?

[pliant gulch]

No, I'm saying it would only stop working if you stopped the view manually

Not sure why it's "timing out"

[pliant gulch]

These were my two assumptions

[slate swan]

hm

why

what’s a good site to host on?

[hushed galleon]

when no timeout is set there isnt actually any long-running future, the client simply dispatches the callback whenever it receives a matching interaction from the gateway

[slate swan]

light mode

ah

[hushed galleon]

yeah they're pasting a couple tags from the dpy server

[manic wing]

can someone thank danny for personalising discord.py for me

[royal jasper]

@client.command(name='demotar_o_g')
async def demotando_o_g(ctx, membro: discord.Member):
    await ctx.send('demotando o glanchefeliz')

    await client.remove_roles(membro, role)

    # add the role again
    await asyncio.sleep(15)
    await client.add_roles(membro, role)

how can i solve this error?: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'Guild' object is not iterable

[manic wing]

they used my birthday in an example

[supple crescent]

@bot.command(name = 'order')
async def order(ctx: commands.Context, *, echo: str) -> None:
    msg = await ctx.send(echo)
    await msg.add_reaction("👍")
    await msg.add_reaction("👎")
    await ctx.message.delete()

    await ctx.send('You have 60 seconds to confirm! Press [placheolder thumbsup] to confirm! press [placeholder thumbsdown] to try again!')
    channel = ctx.channel
    def check(reaction, user):
            return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'
    try:
        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('Gotcha! order confirmed')
    else:
        await channel.send('you timed out...')

    def check(reaction, user):
            return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👎'
    try:
        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('Understood! cancelling order!')
    else:
        await channel.send('you timed out...')

only the you timed out for the 👍 works. idk why. any help?

[manic wing]

this code is very outdated.

[hushed galleon]

well, they dont want to be referencing just guild in the first place

[royal jasper]

how can i update it?

[hushed galleon]

your messages seem to be flipped around, but also when you use await bot.wait_for(...), the code after it cant run until that reaction completes

you should use just one check where the reaction can either be 👍 or 👎, then you can check the emoji again after they select one of them

[supple crescent]

AHHHH

so smthn like this

    def check(reaction, user):
            return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'
    try:
        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('Gotcha! order confirmed')
    else:
        await channel.send('you timed out...')
            return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👎'
    try:
        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('Understood! cancelling order!')
    else:
        await channel.send('you timed out...')

the ident was wrong but u get the point

[hushed galleon]

uhhh

the idea is that you only use one wait_for and have the check accept either reaction, then you can decide based on which one they chose afterwards

[supple crescent]

ahhhh

so its has to wait for the forst 60 secs to time out b4 the 👎 works

[hushed galleon]

mhm

[supple crescent]

okk

sooo

im just gonna remoe the timeout altogther

@hushed galleon now, its there any way to make it so if they press 👍 pressing 👎 wont do anything? (and vice versa)

[hushed galleon]

well having just one wait_for would do that for you

cause it returns after one reaction

[supple crescent]

@hushed galleon but how would i make it so it only uses 1 wait for with this new code?

    channel = ctx.channel
    def check(reaction, user):
            return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'
    try:
        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('you timed out...')
    else:
        await channel.send('Gotcha! order confirmed')

    def check(reaction, user):
            return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👎'
    try:
        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('you timed out...')
    else:
        await channel.send('Understood! cancelling order!')

[hushed galleon]

use one wait_for and have the check accept either reaction, then you can decide based on which one they chose afterwards

e.g. py def check(reaction, user): return reaction.emoji in ('👍', '👎')

[supple crescent]

ahhhhh

wait so smthn like this:

 def check(reaction, user):
        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
 [thumbsup path here]
 [thumbsdown path here]

[hushed galleon]

hm i coulda sworn even unicode emojis were wrapped with discord.Emoji

[supple crescent]

i ididnt think so

[hushed galleon]

ah whatever anyway, no you dont put the wait_for in the check

but yeah you'd have an if-statement to compare the thumbsup after the wait_for

[supple crescent]

wait so smtn like if return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍': and same for the thumbsdown

[hushed galleon]

no, the check should return true for either emoji they choose

that way you can handle both reactions in one wait_for()

[supple crescent]

wait, so how would i do that 🤔

wait

holdup

nvm

[hushed galleon]

its just having an if-statement

[supple crescent]

sooo im just talkin in english here but:

reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
if reaction is ('👍', '👎'):
[thumbsup path]
[thumbsdown path]

[hushed galleon]

the check would have that double emoji condition, but afterwards you can check which specific emoji they chose

[supple crescent]

ahh

so add both emojies in the 'reactin_add ' somehow?

[hushed galleon]

like how i showed up here

[supple crescent]

thats deadass all i need to put

nvm 🤦‍♂️

wait

is that all?

[hushed galleon]

it should be shorter than the initial code you wrote

[supple crescent]

im so confused

[hushed galleon]

get thumb reaction from user (wait_for + check)
if reaction is thumbs up
confirmed
else cancelled

[supple crescent]

this isnt right at all but is the concept right/ am i on the right track?

    channel = ctx.channel
    def check(reaction, user):
        reaction, user = bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
        if 'reaction_add' == '👍': 
            do thing 
        
        if 'reaction_add' == '👎':
            do OTHER thing

@hushed galleon ^

[hushed galleon]

no not inside the check itself

[minor totem]

Almost, don't put the do thing and do OTHER thing inside the check. Place it outside like this:

    channel = ctx.channel
    def check(reaction, user):
        return user == ctx.author and str(reaction.emoji) in {'👍', '👎'}

    try:
        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('you timed out...')
        return  # There's no point in continue running the code

    if str(reaction.emoji) == '👍':
        ...
    else:
        # This means that: str(reaction.emoji) == '👎'
        ...

I also recommend that you check that it's inside the same channel!

[supple crescent]

ohhh so the check SPEFICALLY LOOKS for the thumbs up.

or thumbs down

[hushed galleon]

the check should return true for either emoji they choose

[minor totem]

Yes, the check filters out (by ignoring) any other reaction than the ones made by the user and where the emoji is 👍 or 👎

[supple crescent]

and that alows the else to only be the thumbsdown soooo u dont need to check speratly for it 🤯

[minor totem]

The latter is done by str(reaction.emoji) in {'👍', '👎'}, if str(reaction.emoji) is 👍 then it is inside {'👍', '👎'}. Same goes for 👎

[supple crescent]

gotcha

[minor totem]

Note that I explicitly choose to use {} for the in {'👍', '👎'}.

This is because {} means both a dictionary, and a set. Now, when you have a , Python will recognize it as a set but if you have : it will understand it as a dictionary.

[supple crescent]

good to know!

[minor totem]

A set is much more performant at checking if one thing is inside the other. The same way that a dictionary is better at looking up keys

All you can do with a set is add or remove keys, and check if a particular value is in it (which is very fast).

That's exactly what we want to do!

[minor totem]

To be clear, {'👍', '👎'} is a set and {'👍': None, '👎': None} is a dict

[supple crescent]

i prob should be looking for ways to optimize my code....

[supple crescent]

got it bc the : is making it a dic

[hushed galleon]

although for a two-element set the performance difference is in the nanoseconds and uses about 4x the memory (216 bytes vs. 56 bytes) ```sh

py -m timeit -n 500000 -s "s = {'1', '2'}" "'3' in s"
500000 loops, best of 5: 16.5 nsec per loop
py -m timeit -n 500000 -s "s = ('1', '2')" "'3' in s"
500000 loops, best of 5: 29.8 nsec per loop```

[minor totem]

They don't, but if there are duplicates they will be removed because there cannot be duplicates

[minor totem]

It's a frozenset stored on the function

[supple crescent]

and this code will not break if they add another reaction right? bc that was a HUGE exploit for my other code

[minor totem]

!e ```python
import dis

def check(arg):
return arg in {'👍', '👎'}

dis.dis(check)

[unkempt canyon]

@minor totem :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

004 |               6 RETURN_VALUE

[hushed galleon]

oh thats pretty cool

[supple crescent]

wait is there a way to see how intensive, fast, etc. your code is?

[minor totem]

Yup 😅 - but you did bring up a good point. Not all cases require a set but I like showing it when I can

[supple crescent]

🗿

[minor totem]

You can only but time it

[minor totem]

It won't, no, because the check will return False and it will be ignored.

[slate swan]

damn you got everyone laughing

[subtle kindle]

briish

[supple crescent]

thtas what i thought, bc ur smart and made it so it only pay attention to the thumbs reactiond

[hushed galleon]

in most python applications you shouldnt worry about performance until it becomes a problem, and especially with a discord bot, those small optimizations pale in comparison to your network latency

as in you want it to react to any message in that channel?

[small kettle]

yes

[manic wing]

meh same shit

[hushed galleon]

you just... dont check the user's id then

[minor totem]

Yup, there's some easy things you can do for loops though. Python is slower than most languages, but all inefficient programs are inefficient in all languages 😅

[small kettle]

thanks

[small kettle]

thanks

    if str(reaction.emoji) == '👍':
        await channel.send('Gotcha! order confirmed')
        channel = bot.get_channel(636399538650742795)
        await channel.send(f"<@{user_id}> \n", echo )

why is send undefined?

[hushed galleon]

was the error along the lines of NoneType has no attribute send?

[slate swan]

anyone know why bot.user returns _MissingSentinel? checked src code still not sure why it would return the class

[hushed galleon]

that would likely mean get_channel was none

[supple crescent]

yes

[slate swan]

depends

if its for moderation its ok but you will always need a reason for logging actions

discord doesnt quite like it when you store allot of data in their platform

youll be fine

[manic wing]

in what use case does it return this?

[alpine furnace]

No, and write a privacy policy/tos for your bot if you’re concerned legally about it

Otherwise, it’s likely that nobody gives a shit

[slate swan]

not really sure im checking bot base class

[manic wing]

well it would be before the client is logged in

[slate swan]

nah

it would return None

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.user

property user```
Represents the connected client. `None` if not logged in.

[slate swan]

would return a NoneType error but i checked ClientUser and now im checking base

[supple crescent]

I think that’s the channel let me double check

new error: : Command raised an exception: TypeError: Messageable.send() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

    if str(reaction.emoji) == '👍':
        await channel.send('Gotcha! order confirmed')
        channel = bot.get_channel(954898254783459388)
        await channel.send(f"<@{user_id}> \n", echo )

[royal jasper]

can someone help me? how can i update this code for the latest discord.py structure?

@client.command(name='demotar_o_g')
async def demotando_o_g(ctx, glanchefeliz: discord.Member):
    await ctx.send('demotando o g')
    
    role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild, name='Trial')

    await client.remove_roles(glanchefeliz, role)
    await asyncio.sleep(15)
    await client.add_roles(glanchefeliz, role)

[final iron]

Outdated code

[final iron]

Reading is hard

[supple crescent]

pls help

removing \n doesnt do anything so idk what the 3 pos args are

await channel.send(f"<@{user_id}> \n" + not, echo )?

@slate swan

liek that?

yes

[slate swan]

just realized theres like a second difference between the cache getting populated and the gateway connecting to the bot

why have an f string an str concatenation?

and f strings are faster

3

not even 3 theres way more

f string is the only correct way lol

from __future__ import annotations
from disnake.ext.commands import Bot
import os


class Klaxo(Bot):
    def __init__(self, token: str, cogsdir: str, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.token = token
        self.cogsdir = cogsdir

    async def on_ready(self) -> None:
        print("Bots cache has been populated")

        )
        print("Bot has connected to the gateway")

    def setup(self) -> None:
        for filename in os.listdir("./cogs"):
            if not filename.startswith("_") and filename.endswith("py"):
                self.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
                print(f"Loaded: {filename[:-3]}")

    async def on_disconnect(self) -> None:
        print("Bot has disconnected from the gateway")

    def run(self) -> None:
        self.setup()
        super().run(self.token, reconnect=True)

is this over the top? i feel like it is

there is no error i just want a honest opinion if its over the top

especially the cogsdir argument

the initiate of the class

[final iron]

Why are you printing the name, discriminator and name+discriminator

Just print it once

Also cogdir and token is unnecessary

[slate swan]

idk just me being over the top

[final iron]

It's useless

And clutters the console

[slate swan]

no such thing

how to i get playing a game in my bot status

[final iron]

Yes such thing

[slate swan]

it doesnt even clutter the console it shows all the details which is pog

[slate swan]

!d discord.Status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Status

class discord.Status```
Specifies a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") ‘s status.

[slate swan]

you just pass it in the bot status constructor

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

[pliant gulch]

Wouldn't it make sense to just add all cog loading into run

[slate swan]

import requests
import os
import discord
from keep_alive import keep_alive
from discord.ext import tasks
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='xxx')
client._skip_check = lambda x, y: False

client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle)

await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="The Walking Dead Season 1"))

keep_alive()
client.run(os.getenv('tok'),bot=False)
client.run(os.getenv('tok'),reconnect=True)
``` is it correct?

[pliant gulch]

You only call it there anyways

[slate swan]

yes it would but it looks less cluttered in the run method

[slate swan]

no in the constructor

[hoary cargo]

[final iron]

Self bot smh

[slate swan]

my class instance variable of my bot instance:

anyone has cool complicated ideas for commands maybe api related

sed

[pliant gulch]

Stock simulation, game engine (board games probably) or image manipulation without an external API

[final iron]

Use my NewEgg wrapper and make commands for deals on hardware

🗿

[slate swan]

mhmmmm stock simulation sounds cool if i knew about stocks game engine sounds cool but generic and imagine manipulation never done it before so maybe ill try it to learn something new

[slate swan]

when i see its src code

[final iron]

You don't want to see it

[slate swan]

[pliant gulch]

Game engines are pretty simple if you know what to do I guess

[final iron]

Look okay it works

That's all you need

[slate swan]

yeah but idk any game suggestions?

[pliant gulch]

chess?

[slate swan]

if it works it works

[slate swan]

seen it

mhmmm

[supple thorn]

Exploding kittens?

[pliant gulch]

But have you coded it

[slate swan]

good point but thats not my point

[supple thorn]

Haven't seen that one yet

[slate swan]

bro what

[supple thorn]

And it'd be pretty cool to play it inside discord

[pliant gulch]

I mean, you asked for a complex project, not a non-generic one

How about a CHIP-8 emulator that works in discord

[slate swan]

good point tring to prove my point but thats not really my point

[pliant gulch]

By that I mean fully emulate codeblocks (acting as ROMs)

[slate swan]

never heard of it im young

unlike you

ill try game engines with imagine manipulation

[pliant gulch]

Imagine manipulation

[slate swan]

behing?

[slate swan]

guild is None

[silent ermine]

yes but why is it none

[pliant gulch]

Your running the command in a DM

[slate swan]

lol

[lusty sky]

@commands.command()

Why is it telling me join is an invalid command?

[silent ermine]

but its ctx.guild.id
not ctx.author.id

or ctx.author.guild.id

I even did this and its none

[pliant gulch]

Yea,

ctx.guild is NONE in DMs

It just makes no sense otherwise

[silent ermine]

Yea no duh

[silent ermine]

but look at this

[final iron]

If it's in DM's the guild is None

Ik guys I ain’t dumb

[slate swan]

int means integer which is always a solid number dont get confused with a float as a float is a decimal which is still a number

number with parameters you mean the int converter?

[pliant gulch]

Never in all my years have I heard someone reference an integer as a solid number

guess im the first

Is there a way to have like a code block format better on mobile cuz it keeps messing up.

[inner epoch]

Is it possible to send empheral messages using ctx.send? Or the ones which are only visible to ctx.message.author

[slate swan]

nope ephemeral messages only can be used on interactions

[inner epoch]

Umm any way I can just send the message to author like only visible to him/her?

[slate swan]

dms ig

[inner epoch]

Ohh.....naah I mean in server

[slate swan]

private thread or channel ig

[inner epoch]

Umm yea private thread is a good idea....thanks!

[silent ermine]

Would you know a way to format a codeblock on mobile so it doesnt mess up?

[pliant gulch]

Not any consistent way, phones have dimensions, they can vary from phone to phone

It’s not a one size fits all thing

[silent ermine]

I know

[pliant gulch]

discord already formats DESKTOP codeblocks in a “weird” way

I wouldn’t expect it to be an easier for mobile

[pliant gulch]

Or can,

[silent ermine]

Hm

Is there a way to Detect if a user is on mobile?

[supple crescent]

if i want to react with a server emoji can i just do ?

await msg.add_reaction("954933649395048488")

[slate swan]

if it's a custom emote u gotta do \:emote:

[thorn ore]

you should do

my_msg = await ctx.send("this is test")

await my_msg.add_reaction("here emoji")

[slate swan]

and if it's a discord emote u can just add a \ infront of the emote

and u can copy & paste it

[thorn ore]

\🎉

[slate swan]

its a custom emoji

then u just add a \ infront of the custom emote

[supple crescent]

so in this case it would be

await msg.add_reaction("\:accepted:")

[slate swan]

doesnt matter about the name

so u can get the name/id

[slate swan]

no, it depends on the emote, if it's a custom you'd get the name and emote id

[thorn ore]

@supple crescent do this

[slate swan]

that would just return <:name:id>

which u need to copy, for instantce: !ducky_party

[supple crescent]

whatev ill juse use a discord emothe 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

if u want to use the emote u gotta do that, otherwise doing \:whatever the name is:

wouldn't work

[gaunt ice]

i have a doubt

[slate swan]

you probably need to get the object

[thorn ore]

Yea ask

[gaunt ice]

can we like ping a channel

#black-formatter

[thorn ore]

Yea we can

[gaunt ice]

like this but for vc

um

not that

thats a text channel

[slate swan]

yeah mb

vc nah you cant

[gaunt ice]

hm

can bots?

[thorn ore]

Wdym bro?

[slate swan]

nah

[gaunt ice]

yes bots can do

wait

[slate swan]

im not sure if you can tag a vc ive never seen it done before

[thorn ore]

We can't tag

[slate swan]

yeah

[thorn ore]

It's impossible

[slate swan]

not sure if discord lets you at all

[thorn ore]

[gaunt ice]

u just have to get it and just mention

[hollow quarry]

you can, with the ID

[thorn ore]

Oh

[gaunt ice]

see he just did

[slate swan]

paste the id with the # format?

[final iron]

#751591688538947646

mhm

[hollow quarry]

with a user account, you can start typing #!channel-name, but with a bot account, I think you have to do <#channel_id>

[final iron]

[slate swan]

what about the idea?

[supple crescent]

ok when somobody does !order the order the say goes into another separate channel where i have to review the order, if i accpet it, how can the bot ping them back in their channel that they did !order in?

here is the code

[gaunt ice]

okk

append channel id

[supple crescent]

@bot.command(name = 'order')

[supple crescent]

the thing is, its a diffrent channel for diffrent people

bc each person has their own private channel

[slate swan]

ig you can use a dict and save the channel id and author id for later

[gaunt ice]

oh wait

is it like a ticket system

[supple crescent]

yeahhhh

oki, stop acting weird

[gaunt ice]

@supple crescent by ctx.message.delete() are u meaning to delete the "msg" in order cmd

[slate swan]

im serious who does that

cuz i dont do it

[supple crescent]

it deletes the persons !order and just replaces it with a bot version

its just to clear space

[gaunt ice]

alr then

u can only use id there

but utils let u use name

umm

this isnt my code....

its actually meat's

he took out the token intentionally

was he supposed to send token?

[boreal ravine]

manage_guild

thx

[reef trail]

why does this say 69 hours lol

[gaunt ice]

dunno

why is ur background like dat....

[reef trail]

Because i have a theme, and before you lecture me about how its against ToS, ive had client modifications for upwards of 4 years, if discord cared that much they'd enforce the rule lol

[gaunt ice]

hm ok

why do u have to read me like that 😂

[reef trail]

Because everyone gives the same response

ive had people lecture me for years about it

Im aware of the risks

[gaunt ice]

alr lol

[torn sail]

Yeah discord doesn’t care about that

Even though it breaks the tos

[reef trail]

Discord doesnt care as long as you're not doing anything malicious. Its not like someone would be able to prove that anyway, thats why they dont care

Yep that’s right

[native onyx]

I uninstalled the discord modules to use nextcord, but changed my mind and reinstalled discord.py and discord again, only now it's giving this error

[heavy folio]

force reinstall

[heavy folio]

i personally use divmod cuz i find it easier, here's an example from dpy server ```py
from datetime import datetime
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="?", description="This is a bot")
bot.launch_time = datetime.utcnow()

@bot.command()
async def uptime(ctx):
delta_uptime = datetime.utcnow() - bot.launch_time
hours, remainder = divmod(int(delta_uptime.total_seconds()), 3600)
minutes, seconds = divmod(remainder, 60)
days, hours = divmod(hours, 24)
await ctx.send(f"{days}d, {hours}h, {minutes}m, {seconds}s")

divmod

Huh, i havent heard of that. what exactly does it do?

[heavy folio]

!d divmod

[unkempt canyon]

divmod

divmod(a, b)```
Take two (non-complex) numbers as arguments and return a pair of numbers consisting of their quotient and remainder when using integer division. With mixed operand types, the rules for binary arithmetic operators apply. For integers, the result is the same as `(a // b, a % b)`. For floating point numbers the result is `(q, a % b)`, where *q* is usually `math.floor(a / b)` but may be 1 less than that. In any case `q * b + a % b` is very close to *a*, if `a % b` is non-zero it has the same sign as *b*, and `0 <= abs(a % b) < abs(b)`.

ahhhh

[native onyx]

how can I do this?

[heavy folio]

python -m pip install --force-reinstall discord.py

if you are using 2.0 then ```
python -m pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

Guys how to check if a message has walls of text or repeated text or too many emotes?

@minor totem

[long whale]

Hey... how do I get ppl knwing about my bot any good methods to get my bot onto servers?

[drowsy thunder]

I have 5 ways to do it

1. Top.gg, Post your bot on top.gg and actively vote it
2. Needed features,surf though the internet and check what users are interested in the botd to be added
3. Customization, Make a cool little dashboard with a .xyz domain and make your bot customizable
4. Hundreds of features,add as many features as possible to your discord bot and all must be customizable using dashboard.
   5)Advertise it manually,advertising it manually by telling your friends about it also helps!

help

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if before.status != after.status:
       return

    if str(before.status) == "online":
      if str(after.status == "offline"):
        return

    if str(before.status) == "offline":
      if str(after.status == "online"):
        return
        
    if before.activity != after.activity:
        req_act = "vanity"
        my_server = bot.get_guild(guild id here)
        role_id = role id here
        role = my_server.get_role(role_id)
        if act := [activ.name for activ in after.activities if activ.type == ActivityType.custom and req_act in activ.name]:
            channel = bot.get_channel(bot channel id here)
            emb = discord.Embed(color=0xffffff)
            emb.description = f"thank for vanity"
            emb.set_footer(text="meoww")
            await channel.send(f"<@{after.id}>", embed=emb)
            await after.add_roles(role)
        else:
            await after.remove_roles(role)

i want it to not ping the user again if they change or put a emoji in their status or if they change something in their status but it still has the vanity. is it possible? do i make sense?-

[bleak karma]
