[junior verge]

I dont use replit

[slate swan]

S.M.H. stop cringing
just help Daxles, I'm going on a stroll 😔

dax

did u load the extension??

[junior verge]

Yeah

[slate swan]

show

[junior verge]

from the main file?

[slate swan]

yes

[junior verge]

I mean other cogs work

@client.command()
async def load(ctx, extension):
    client.load_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

@client.command()
async def unload(ctx, extension):
    client.unload_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')

But that won't be the problem right

[slate swan]

complex

[hollow badger]

Please don't use ableist language.

[slate swan]

saad

[slate swan]

My bad

who called mods

[slate swan]

Just make sure that ur cog is loaded 🤷🏾

yes

[velvet compass]

Filters called us

[slate swan]

ok.

[hollow badger]

Our bot is a snitch 🙂

[slate swan]

:>

[slate swan]

Facts

[slate swan]

someone or the other is probably just lurking here every time

..

[slate swan]

ur cogs are not loaded

[slate swan]

I beg you to elaborate what these periods mean

dax

😐

[junior verge]

My others are?

So I don't get it

[slate swan]

listen try putting other command in the help cog and test if that command is working or not

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[slate swan]

huh?

[velvet tinsel]

Indeed.

Greetings Ashley.

[slate swan]

?

..

[slate swan]

I will just leave

[velvet tinsel]

I beg you to elaborate what these periods mean

[slate swan]

Wait is ur help command outside the folder("cogs folder") orr ur help command in another folder

[slate swan]

i beg u to stop

[velvet tinsel]

What have I done?

[slate swan]

nothing thats why

[velvet tinsel]

Cool

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

@junior verge

[junior verge]

Nah its in

[slate swan]

[junior verge]

uh lemme try

[slate swan]

bruh?

salad is typing...

@clear flicker

lol

[brisk zodiac]

what is the error?

[velvet tinsel]

Using a class?

[slate swan]

bruh?

[brisk zodiac]

Traceback (most recent call last):

[velvet tinsel]

Wtf

[slate swan]

toatally not copy paste

[boreal ravine]

What theme is that?

[slate swan]

Can i see ur files/folders? Something like dis

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

define bot/client

[placid skiff]

What the hell is this?

[velvet tinsel]

^^^

[slate swan]

mm

[junior verge]

it will say that that command is not as well

[slate swan]

ur cog is not loaded!!!!!!!!

confirm

[junior verge]

Yep alright

[slate swan]

confirmed by sparky

[junior verge]

But thats weird since my other cogs are loaded

[slate swan]

yes

very weird

[velvet tinsel]

Maybe I shouldn’t have left discord bots lmao wtf is this chat

[slate swan]

#discord-bots

[slate swan]

Even whois?

🤔🤔

[junior verge]

Yup that works fine

[boreal ravine]

It's #discord-bots :)

[slate swan]

its prob with loading

[velvet tinsel]

ironically

[junior verge]

Ig?

[velvet tinsel]

I didn’t know that

[slate swan]

im sure

[junior verge]

and how to fix that

[slate swan]

idk

never used that type of loading

[velvet tinsel]

Loading what

Cogs?

[slate swan]

yup

Wait

[vale wing]

Lint being nice to humans

[slate swan]

I found the issue

[slate swan]

good!

its bc of this

😶

[boreal ravine]

Now you know

[velvet tinsel]

You’ve…never loaded cogs before?

[slate swan]

i use bot.load_extension() 🤓

Command inside init

[velvet tinsel]

Fucking

[slate swan]

tf

indents tf

[boreal ravine]

Thats what loading cogs means

[junior verge]

Wait so what is the problem?

[vale wing]

!d disnake.ext.commands.Bot.load_extensions is cool btw

[slate swan]

indents

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Bot.load\_extensions

load_extensions(path)```
Loads all extensions in a directory.

New in version 2.4.

[slate swan]

i use that only

[vale wing]

But that's disnake only ig

[junior verge]

omg

[slate swan]

:D

[slate swan]

im disnake

[slate swan]

Same

[vale wing]

Yeah

[boreal ravine]

Unindent the command

[slate swan]

simple and easy

[final iron]

Eh, I would still prefer manually looping

[slate swan]

who cares

[vale wing]

Recursion supreme

[slate swan]

🤌true

[final iron]

If you loop manually you can exclude certain files you don't want loaded

Can't do that with load_extensions unless you edit src

[boreal ravine]

you can

[final iron]

How?

[vale wing]

Um you are supposed to provide string not the module

[slate swan]

pc laging like hell

[junior verge]

😫

[final iron]

!d disnake.ext.commands.Bot.load_extensions

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Bot.load\_extensions

load_extensions(path)```
Loads all extensions in a directory.

New in version 2.4.

[final iron]

You just provide a path to the folder

[vale wing]

What is the command that tells how to read traceback

[junior verge]

Can't you just help me instead

[final iron]

It's pretty clear

[vale wing]

Just read the traceback properly and you will be able to easily help yourself

[junior verge]

Yeah but how to fix it

[spring flax]

it would be a lot easier if you send your code first of all

[vale wing]

Read this https://realpython.com/python-traceback/

[velvet compass]

!traceback

[slim ibex]

🤨

[spring flax]

i just have a list of extension strings and iterate through and load them

[slim ibex]

no organization of the project

[slate swan]

...........

[slim ibex]

you can use Intents.all()

[vale wing]

Gotta disagree

[slate swan]

.

[slim ibex]

^

[slate swan]

dont know about that

[spring flax]

why do you keep putting .? What's it supposed to do?

[vale wing]

6 same statements with only one argument varying

[spring flax]

supposed to mean*

[junior verge]

Sure

!paste

[boreal ravine]

why would you even wanna exclude certain files

[slim ibex]

you can loop through the cwd (since there are no nested folders/subdirectories) to load the cogs

[junior verge]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/yufoheyaxa

[bleak karma]

does anyone here know how to end the code in pycharm? because the bot is still up even though i terminated it already

[slate swan]

end the code?

[bleak karma]

i did

[slim ibex]

CTRL+C should cause the program to stop

[bleak karma]

alright im gonna try that

[slate swan]

i just delete the terminal in vsc

[junior verge]

yeah same

[spring flax]

so delwarn isn't in the list

[junior verge]

delwarn shouldn't be there that is correct

[spring flax]

so why are you trying to remove it?

[junior verge]

So it won't show up ugh

[vale wing]

I usually organise the bot project like this

src | cogs
    cog1.py
    cog2.py
ext
    utils.py
    bot.py
res
    nice_image.png
    nice_image2.png
main.py
.env | encrypted token

[slim ibex]

i DID it slightly diff

[bleak karma]

it doesn't work for me

[vale wing]

Yeah ofc it might differ from dev to dev but almost everyone stores cogs in a separated folder

[slim ibex]

so basically, does the bot never go offline after you destroy the terminal?

[spring flax]

print the list first

[vale wing]

Pycharm?

[slim ibex]

it might take a little bit for the bot to go offline, from my experience

[spring flax]

look at what the list returns, before doing list.remove

[bleak karma]

yes

[bleak karma]

mhm

[junior verge]

Yeah I removed the remove delwarn thing

[sullen pewter]

When will prefixes be cancelled

[vale wing]

Cause in pycharm ctrl+c doesn't work for me as well but I only tried aiohttp servers there

[slim ibex]

rip

[vale wing]

There's stop button however that works

[slim ibex]

^

[bleak karma]

its still online even though i stopped it

[vale wing]

Online you mean even responding to commands?

[slim ibex]

btw if you just CLOSE the terminal (Ctrl+`), the bot won't go offline

[spring flax]

so it works?

[junior verge]

My command works now but just my serverstats command shows up

[bleak karma]

yes its still responding

[slim ibex]

you have to actually destroy the terminal or stop the bot instance

[vale wing]

And what IDE are you using?

[spring flax]

no idea what you mean

[junior verge]

Like the command should show all the cogs and the name/description, but it only shows this

[bleak karma]

um pycharm

[vale wing]

Okay and how do you stop your bot?

[spring flax]

can you print the list cogs = [c for c in self.client.cogs.keys()]

just print it don't do anything else

[junior verge]

just print(cogs)

[spring flax]

yes

[bleak karma]

the square button ?

[vale wing]

Ok that should be a right way to stop it

[bleak karma]

if not idk

[vale wing]

Check the run tab if there's anything

[bleak karma]

its still responding to events/commands

even though i stopped it

[junior verge]

it doesn't print it wut

[spring flax]

error?

[junior verge]

None

[vale wing]

I remember several other users faced this issue but I don't remember the solution to it

[spring flax]

what is the command code you ran?

[vale wing]

If I would be using pycharm I would probably figure out why it happens but in this case I don't know how to help you sorry

[junior verge]

None just want to print it

[spring flax]

huh?

[bleak karma]

is it a bad thing? like the bot running even though i stopped it already

[vale wing]

It is abnormal

[bleak karma]

will it affect anything

or

[spring flax]

also instead of async def help(self, ctx, cog="1"): why not async def help(self, ctx, cog : int = 1):

[vale wing]

Normally it would stay online for approximately 1-2 mins but not respond to commands and then just go offline

[vale wing]

Depends

[junior verge]

Yeah okay, now the command just shows the delwarn lol

[vale wing]

Why you overriding builitin help lmao

[junior verge]

builtin is shit

[vale wing]

Check pins for the proper way of implementing help command or do

@commands.command(name="help")
async def _help(...):
    ...```

And yeah better check pins

[junior verge]

okay

[shadow wraith]

your better off subclassing it so you don't have to write all the shit

[junior verge]

Well why does it now just show my warn lol

[slim ibex]

!d discord.ext.commands.MinimalHelpCommand

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MinimalHelpCommand

class discord.ext.commands.MinimalHelpCommand(*args, **kwargs)```
An implementation of a help command with minimal output.

This inherits from [`HelpCommand`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand "discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand").

[junior verge]

?

[dense swallow]

is there any efficient way for an help cmd with slash cmds?

[maiden fable]

I don't think there's a class for slash help command yet

[vale wing]

No besides creating own class

Or doing a simple command

[dense swallow]

hmm ok thanks

[static beacon]

but why

cant you use

minimalhelpcommand and the other preset ones

in a slash command?

[dense swallow]

can we?

[vale wing]

It uses context so most likely it sends to channel

[dense swallow]

i tried commands.HelpCommand it didnt work

[vale wing]

Because it's not interaction based

Probably need to do some research in low-level stuff of the lib

On the message to command processing stage

[static beacon]

commands.MinimalHelpCommand? i dont know can slash commands use codeblocks?

[static beacon]

You can create it in a class and use it in a slash command?

[vale wing]

Slash commands are based on interactions, and the help command subclasses are based on simple message sending

[static beacon]

cant you reroute it

[vale wing]

Caught in different events

[static beacon]

whats more useful of having your whole bot basically invisible to anyone except for the people who use it

[vale wing]

You can but pretty sure you'd need to edit library files

[static beacon]

i dont get everyone making every command they have into a slash command

[static beacon]

most people using dpy 2.0.0 have it git installed

[vale wing]

Ik

But I think you can't reroute help command processing without editing the library files which means creating own fork

[static beacon]

hm

im not too familiar with slash commands and what they're capable of

[slate swan]

You can't spell it wrong, you only get a few options, so it won't return any errors.

[static beacon]

but like.. spell it right? that works

you arent going to have 3 year old children using your discord bot im positive if they could add it they know how to type right

[tidal hawk]

It's nice to see all commands pop up, instead of using help command for viewing the commands and then spell it carefully

And try to remember which argument is where

Also easier for dev, doesn't have to make error messages (for giving feedback, what went wrong etc)

[junior verge]

['Whois', 'Ping', 'Role', 'Warn', 'Avatar', 'Mention', 'ball', 'Moderation', 'Meme', 'EmojiInfo', 'Help', 'Serverstats']

Which are all my cogs but just 1 shows up on my help command

Now it just shows whois

It just gives a random cog

[tidal hawk]

'\n'.join(cogs)

[junior verge]

Instead of showing all

Where?

[tidal hawk]

Show me the code

[junior verge]

!pate

!paste

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/opobemaqot

[tidal hawk]

So only 1 cog appears into neededCog list?

[junior verge]

Yeah

[tidal hawk]

Probably this part messes it up : x = i + (int(cog) - 1) * 4

[junior verge]

I think so

That should be it though

Got any idea

[dense swallow]

i made a class for the help command with select menus.. how do i call that in a slash command with disnake?

[static beacon]

disnake is weird

im a dpy guy but i could probably help you

idk how forks changed things

[tidal hawk]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/select/dropdown.py

[junior verge]

@tidal hawk

[dense swallow]

this is my first time using the lib

so im having some confusions

[static beacon]

this is the exact same as dpys examples

ik its a fork but like.. they just switched like 2 things around and called it theirs

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

[boreal ravine]

no?

[static beacon]

yes

[tidal hawk]

How many cogs do you want to display in one page

[boreal ravine]

where

where did they say its theirs

[static beacon]

nvm thats nextcord

[junior verge]

4

[static beacon]

nextcord is trying to make it seem like they arent a fork by changing EVERYTHING

[dense swallow]

v3

[static beacon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html#helpformatter-and-help-command-changes

[nimble plume]

no

[tidal hawk]

You found solution?

[junior verge]

Nope

[static beacon]

yes

[final wagon]

hello, can anybody pls help me my cog aint loading in heroku

[slate swan]

What makes you say that?

[slate swan]

errors?, Probably issues with path if it works normally but not in heroku

[final wagon]

yeah it works properly

[junior verge]

No

[final wagon]

but not working in heroku

[static beacon]

it needed 7 contributors to fix one tutorial file

[maiden fable]

Huh?

[junior verge]

Do you got a requirements.txt?

[maiden fable]

You can't define a module by seeing just a single commit... I'm not being biased here, but you should also look at the other features like faster releases bruv

[slate swan]

That doesn't make any sense, just look the number of contributors in discord.py examples folder.

[static beacon]

2?

[junior verge]

Do you got a requirements.txt

[static beacon]

im talking about the file itself

[slate swan]

could you link me the file

[slate swan]

i dont even have a problem mate

[static beacon]

dpy
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

disnake
https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/select/dropdown.py

[maiden fable]

And may I know why you are looking at only that thing? There are other plus points of the module too, to look at

[junior verge]

Pretty sure mine should work though just don't see the problem

[static beacon]

it was what got brought up

[slate swan]

thats 2/5
and if you read the commits

1. disnake's example has been updated to support the v10 which is yet to be implemented in discord.py?

2. They formatted code with black in one of the commits. & linted the file

[static beacon]

v10???

[maiden fable]

Yea

[static beacon]

breh

[maiden fable]

It's released

[static beacon]

v10 is released?

[maiden fable]

Yea...

[slate swan]

thats why you need to read the commits, discord API has different versions as well.

[maiden fable]

Bruh

[static beacon]

they dont work well with version numbers

[maiden fable]

[slate swan]

discord.py 1.7.3 is on v8

[static beacon]

april 30th danny is pushing an update so its compatable with v10

[tidal hawk]

Hahaha

 for cog in neededCogs:
            commandList = ""
            for command in self.client.get_cog(cog).walk_commands():
                if command.hidden:
                    continue
            
                elif command.parent != None:
                    continue

Don't mind the weird indent (copy)

But you reset the string

Every iteration

[slate swan]

thats what im saying, there will be more commits in dpy's repo too with the update in the package

[flat solstice]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object-embed-limits
Does this mean that each embed (in the list of embeds that a msg can send) has a per embed limit of 6k chars or that the total char limit of each embed in the list combined must not exceed 6k chars

Additionally, the combined sum of characters in all title, description, field.name, field.value, footer.text, and author.name fields across all embeds attached to a message must not exceed 6000 characters. Violating any of these constraints will result in a Bad Request response.

[static beacon]

yeah but i dont rlly get how disnake can already get 2 api versions ahead with the last update to the api push (so its compatable) being in like 2019. meaning it went from v8 to v10 in less than 2 years. idk what discord is doig with versions but its quite weird

[slate swan]

v9 was realeased on April 28, 2021, danny started working on 2.0 and it was to be included in it

but since it never got realeased, there;s the gap

v10 has been released recently

[static beacon]

but then v10 drifted and crashed and blew up in a firery mess into the repo?

[flat solstice]

think it's got do do with all the new interaction stuff, that's gotta require lots of restrucrting on their backend. wouldn't be surprised if we were on v11 API by the time the new permissions system is added

[static beacon]

right. interactions are now a HUUUUGE part of discords bot scene in general

[slate swan]

the development was stopped due to app commands and message intents shit
and that doesnt really affect the old api

[static beacon]

ah

[flat solstice]

think d.py 2.0 is already compatible with v10 API according to this https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6#v10-of-the-api, unless i misunderstood your msg

[slate swan]

yes it is

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/eca472759338d87ad616a44191b7a2ccf55bbabf/discord/http.py#L274-L275

[inner epoch]

Hey how to know if a user entered the server? Like I wanna display a welcome message so if user enters how to know that he/she entered?

[jaunty marsh]

i second that^

[static beacon]

it is, but features are limited to forks, like you cant have slash commands in cogs.

[static beacon]

on_member_join and on_member_remove

both are events

[inner epoch]

Aha thanks a lot ill checkout now!!

[static beacon]

gl

[torn sail]

You can

[static beacon]

everyone in the dpy server says you cant

[torn sail]

They added support recently

[static beacon]

oh

i dont use slash commands much so idk

[flat solstice]

do you mean dpy 2.0 can't have slash commands in cogs? bc that's not true, you most defiantly can and in fact my bot is doing that (albeit in a way too overcomplicated way to meet my usecase)

[static beacon]

in the dpy server when anyone asked everyone said you couldnt

[boreal ravine]

yep new feature

[static beacon]

how new is it

[boreal ravine]

when did you ask that?

[static beacon]

pre march break

[flat solstice]

they added support a weekish ago i think, maybe a bit longer

[final iron]

Not sure but having the control is nice

But how would I exclude certain files with load_extensions

Pretty sure you can't

[quaint epoch]

How would i filter audit logs entries that were moderation actions, like bans, kicks, mutes, messages etc with disnake.AuditLogActionCategory

[final iron]

!d disnake.AuditLogActionCategory

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.AuditLogActionCategory

class disnake.AuditLogActionCategory```

[naive pumice]

Is discord. Py back?

They told no more updates....

[slate swan]

It's maintained by another dude I think

[final iron]

No

[final iron]

Yes

[slate swan]

Right

[static beacon]

yeah

[naive pumice]

Y was there a sudden dip.?

I have lot to catch u ig

[static beacon]

danny lost interest? idk

[flat solstice]

yeah this is how I'm declaring my cog class (inheriting both Group and Cog isn't needed for everyone I'm just doing it so I don't need to declare a group later on, as I need that option later on) https://github.com/SnowyJaguar1034/Zupie/blob/fd409e115d56a4d34ec989c46b80be04686cf033/bot/cogs/users.py#L15 and then you add the cog the same way you used to https://github.com/SnowyJaguar1034/Zupie/blob/fd409e115d56a4d34ec989c46b80be04686cf033/bot/cogs/users.py#L112-L113

[torn sail]

He didn’t like how discord was forcing slash commands

[slate swan]

Yeah

[static beacon]

ohhh i see

[slate swan]

He was infuriated due to discord employees of not answering his question (they have also insulted him)

[static beacon]

i got insulted by a discord employee once

then discord support ghosted me

[slate swan]

Oh

[static beacon]

what is one man gonna do about a multi million dollar company

[slate swan]

That's what they said?

[slate swan]

To you?

[static beacon]

no they told me my responses were unprofessional and immature and just stopped responding

[midnight drum]

anyone has discord custom help command dm me or paste it here please.

[static beacon]

i just asked why their staff were acting like toddlers

[slate swan]

SUIII

[static beacon]

n o

[midnight drum]

shush

[static beacon]

here comes the code airplane!!! newwwwwwmmmmmm

🥄

[final iron]

We won't spoonfeed you code

That's not what this server is for

[midnight drum]

i have it already

but i wanna add my own help command idk how

[static beacon]

thats what google is for if you are a degenerate

[midnight drum]

class MyHelpCommand(commands.HelpCommand):
    async def command_callback(self, ctx, *,command=None):

``` how can i fix this it worked but when someone joined it didn't say anythiing

[static beacon]

```py
for easier formatting and color

[brisk zodiac]

oh ok

[static beacon]

you can just use channel = client.get_channel(955795195268567130)

[brisk zodiac]

okay

[static beacon]

and you can remove the field and have name and value as title and description

iin the main embed

also the member "icon" is actually member.avatar_url < 2.0.0 but if you are using 2.0.0 its member.display_avatar.url

and guild isnt used

its just member.name

also i see you're using replit. pro tip: dont.

[flat solstice]

member.avatar.url still works if you want the users default global avatar, display_avatar is the guild specific one

[slate swan]

First variable should be string i belive

[static beacon]

if it isnt guild specific it gets the normal one

its just easier

[crimson nova]

I have a json file like this:

{
    "ID": [int1, int2]
}

I have a guild_id. How can I check if guild_id matches one of the int in the json file?

[static beacon]

nope. channel ids are always intergers

[slate swan]

Well...

[marble rampart]

hi

[static beacon]

hi

[crimson nova]

Can someone help me with this?

[marble rampart]

sure

one sec

[crimson nova]

Okay.

[marble rampart]

guild_id is a int right ?

[crimson nova]

Yep.

Compare guild_id as an interger and check if that guild_id is in the ID of the json file.

[marble rampart]

for _id in YourJsonObj["ID"]
  if _id == guild_id:
    # do stuff if they are the same
  else:
    # do stuff if they are not the same

[static beacon]

you can open the json file in r, as f (can be anything) then read it like myfile = json.read(f) and use .get to get the ID. and then use myfile.get("ID") and you now have the guild id, and the other id inside of it. you can do whatever with them now

[marble rampart]

make sure to replace YourJsonObj with your json obj

[static beacon]

cant you also use [0] and [1] to get the first and the second?

[slate swan]

Hey I wanted to know that
If a user ran a command for e.g: ,knock-knock

And any user sent “who’s there?” The bot would respond with anything like “me” and much more
If this is possible please explain

[marble rampart]

thats not what he asked for

[static beacon]

using random

[crimson nova]

The thing is, the json file can be bigger than that.

[quaint epoch]

yello

[slate swan]

That’s not what I meant

[crimson nova]

As for now, only 2 ints, but later on, I want to add more ints as well.

[static beacon]

a random response?

please explain

[marble rampart]

one sec

[crimson nova]

Ah, got this.

So I should use for.

[slate swan]

I mean if user1 used a command ,knock-knock

And the bot sends any message I want and then
Let’s take the other user as user2 or anything
If he/she responds with “who’s there” then the bot should reply with “me” or anything like that
And after that the command should timeout

[marble rampart]

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
  if msg.content == "who there?"
    msg.channel.send("me")

[slate swan]

Not this lol

[marble rampart]

or you can search for it in google

[naive pumice]

if guild ID in  YourJsonObj["ID" ] :```

[marble rampart]

like how to wait for msg

[marble rampart]

you can

[static beacon]

oh. wait for user response, if you want anyone specific just make the user ping a member with member: discord.Member obj. you can pretty much use bot.wait_for to get a user message and reply with whatever you feel like.

[marble rampart]

you can also use what @naive pumice did

[static beacon]

the user doesnt have to be the author. it can be anybody and you can check if the response fits the citeria. in this case "knock knock" and execute code. then if else just rerun the wait_for.

[marble rampart]

@slate swan look at this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54723139/discord-py-how-to-wait-for-author-message-using-wait-for

[static beacon]

just wait for any message if it fits knock knock (in samandra's case) do stuff

or who's there

[marble rampart]

yeah i know

[static beacon]

its inside of a command

[naive pumice]

Hmmm

[marble rampart]

if msg.content == "who's there": wait for msg....

[crimson nova]

Did this and else got triggered.

Above:

with open ("./test.json") as f:
    data = json.load(f)
    id = data['ID']

[boreal ravine]

hows this guide i'm working on? https://sifte.github.io/discord.py-guide/

[crimson nova]

json file:

{
    "ID": [38938246574374913, 859030372783751168]
}

[static beacon]

data.get(id[0]) gets the first
data.get(id[1]) gets the second

[crimson nova]

Bro, the json can be maximized later.

[static beacon]

based on your json file having an array

[naive pumice]

it's ctx. guild.id

[crimson nova]

And actually, I use another lib.

And the method to get guild id is ctx.guild_id.

Not discord.py.

[naive pumice]

Oh ic

[static beacon]

ohh

[static beacon]

why convert it to an int if its already an int

[crimson nova]

Just to make sure.

[naive pumice]

Try printing the ID before entering the condition...

[static beacon]

ah

[crimson nova]

You mean the guild id first?

[final iron]

Which lib?

[naive pumice]

Ye

That u input

[crimson nova]

interactions.py

[final iron]

Why though

discord.py has slash commands

[crimson nova]

Because this is an interactions based bot.

And the structure for slash commands that dpy uses is pretty suck, in my opinion.

[static beacon]

doesnt mean you need to use a whole different lib

[crimson nova]

Yeah, I know, but just my preference.

The interactions.py used to act as an extension for handling slash commands/components for dpy before the development got ceased. After that, the dev team decided to separate from an extension to a standalone lib.

[static beacon]

ah

[naive pumice]

Is the ID in ur list

?

[crimson nova]

Yep.

[naive pumice]

🙃

[slate swan]

@crimson nova whats the issue? 😔

[spring flax]

why do people subclass bot? I want to write something about it and need some information on it

all I know is that it is done to add methods but are there any other applications or reasons?

[vale wing]

Basically to do other actions along with or instead of already made ones in superclass and for better code readability

Expand functionality

[hushed galleon]

ive been typehinting with my bot subclass for better ide autocompletion

[slate swan]

to look cool?

[vale wing]

For example you could subclass it to implement a database inside

[south jetty]

    member_name, member_discriminator = member.split('#')
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)```

```py
        banned_users = await ctx.guild.bans()
        member_name, member_discriminator = member.split('#')
        
        for ban_entry in banned_users:
            user = ban_entry.user
            
        if (user.name, user.discriminator) == (member_name, member_discriminator):
            await ctx.guild.unban(user)````

how can I make it so you can use their ids as well

[vale wing]

This is how I subclassed one of my bots, as you can see there are super init, checks addition and extension loading on initialization, override of start to create the database if it doesn't exist, override of close method to close the database connection as well, some database tools and events overwrites
https://github.com/BobuxBot/BobuxAdmin/blob/master/tools/bot.py

[static beacon]

im gonna scare the shit out of people with this

[vale wing]

Nah not really the discord token generation is epic

[static beacon]

its just id and timestamp,, then hash

get user creation, get raw number. base 64.

getid. base 64

Can someone pls help??

[cold sonnet]

u sent this in a dm

therefore message.guild is None

[proud rain]

so what to change?

[cold sonnet]

do some error handling

[fresh iron]

yeah

hi meh and ashely

[cold sonnet]

perhaps only return message.guild.id's stuff if message.guild exists

[fresh iron]

are you guys having a good day

[cold sonnet]

else like !

[proud rain]

but im not the best to englsih can you help what to change

[fresh iron]

i am just wondering what's this error
from discord.ext.commands import AutoShardedBot ImportError: cannot import name 'AutoShardedBot' from 'discord.ext.commands' (C:\Users\ramzi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\__init__.py) PS C:\Users\ramzi>

[cold sonnet]

check if message.guild:

[fresh iron]

learn english > learn python

[cold sonnet]

and only then return that value

[proud rain]

if message.guild:
return

like this?

[cold sonnet]

    return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]
else:
    return "!" ```

this makes the prefix ! in DMS

(ig)

don't scream at me if it don't work

[slate swan]

why even add that else

not required when you are using return

[cold sonnet]

you can remove it, yeah

for those bytes

[proud rain]

i think you gone me wrong, because when i type in dm to the bot this error comes, and i want to get rid of it

in get_prefix return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)] AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

[slate swan]

and you could write it as

return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)] if message.guild else return "!"

this should work maybe

[cold sonnet]

exactly what I was talking about

[cold sonnet]

dunno about the order, in that it does this

if it does the if first, then yeah

then I aswell learned something today

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot

class discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot(command_prefix, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, **options)```
This is similar to [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") except that it is inherited from [`discord.AutoShardedClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AutoShardedClient "discord.AutoShardedClient") instead.

[cold sonnet]

hm

[vale wing]

@fresh iron what's your dpy version

[slate swan]

well, you do not have servers inside dms so thats why the message.guild returns None and has no attribute id, so thats what meh was talking about that if message.guild will check if the message was sent in a server or not, if it was then it would be to return the guild's desired prefix, and using a return statement, the function stops the execution of the function any further, and if message.guild returns None, the function should return a ! prefix

[cold sonnet]

😩

[fresh iron]

how to check that again pip discord version?

[proud rain]

its because i made a mod mail system and when i try it out and sends a message to the bot, the error comes

[cold sonnet]

god

[vale wing]

import discord
print(discord.__version__)```

[slate swan]

!d discord.version

[unkempt canyon]

discord.\_\_version\_\_

discord.__version__```
A string representation of the version. e.g. `'1.0.0rc1'`. This is based off of [**PEP 440**](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440).

[cold sonnet]

just paste the line ashley sent

instead of the line that throws the error

[proud rain]

but i dont know which line or where i should paste it -_-

[cold sonnet]

replace the line that throws the error

[proud rain]

line 59, in get_prefix
return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

[cold sonnet]

with this

[proud rain]

okay

[vale wing]

Message was sent in DMs

[slate swan]

if message.guild: #checks if the message was sent in a server or not
  return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]
return "!" #returns a default prefix if the message was sent in dms

[vale wing]

And in DMs there's no guild ofc lol

[slate swan]

I gave you a paragraph of explanation and you arent even gonna try

[fresh iron]

https://github.com/kyb3r/modmail swear this is the best modmail u can get, u probably should use it instead

[cold sonnet]

noob

[vale wing]

It's more interesting to create own code isn't it

[spring flax]

You can make your own too

[slate swan]

yes

[fresh iron]

not if you don't even know english

[vale wing]

Understandable

[proud rain]

sorry, im sorry if i wasted your time

[spring flax]

I've done that and it's better because you have control over everything

[cold sonnet]

yes

[spring flax]

Oh okay my bad

[fresh iron]

you can modify it

[slate swan]

just dont use modmail and contact users directly

[vale wing]

Tickets supremacy

[slate swan]

not fun

[cold sonnet]

and don't have to pay for features you can make too khmMEE6

[fresh iron]

innit ashely

[slate swan]

write my name correctly for once, someone

[fresh iron]

ashely

[vale wing]

None of bots premiums worth themselves

At least idk any

[fresh iron]

how are you ashely from discord

[slate swan]

its not funny?

[fresh iron]

https://tenor.com/view/caught-trolling-caught-trolling-discord-shitpost-gif-21452175

[slate swan]

....?

[cold sonnet]

just one of us would have a server computer, that guy would literally be rich

we can all make MEE6

[spark fern]

i dont have

[cold sonnet]

me not the dashboard but someone would make that

[fresh iron]

i paid for mee6 once and it's been premium for 2 years now

it's forever premium their payment system is broken

[spark fern]

why did you do that?

[fresh iron]

did i do what

[spark fern]

its garbage

[vale wing]

I can't even integrate payment services cuz I live in russia 💀

[fresh iron]

objective

[cold sonnet]

oof

[fresh iron]

[spark fern]

The Russia is good the Putin is Bad

[cold sonnet]

y'all unlucky

[fresh iron]

Putin is good russia is bad

[slate swan]

pfftttt

[spark fern]

am i right?

[velvet compass]

You are all wildly off topic

[fresh iron]

nah ur opinion is invalid cause u have turkey flag as ur pfp

[vale wing]

Pretty sure politic discussions are against the rules as well

[proud rain]

is anyones changeprefix dont work?

[fresh iron]

[fresh iron]

sorry boss

[proud rain]

is anyones changeprefix dont work?

[velvet compass]

Correct, I am actively more involved in the channel (more than previously)

[cold sonnet]

I see

that's nice

[slate swan]

||knew it not even the bot can match the amount of free time you got||

[vale wing]

We all have different change prefix commands lol

If you mean that

[cold sonnet]

dude's stealing your ot job

[proud rain]

but mine isnt working

that's our Ashley

[vale wing]

Omg

JSON 😱

[slate swan]

ley, at last

[cold sonnet]

why do you have 2 get_prefix

3

[slate swan]

jesus

[proud rain]

i followed a video

[vale wing]

Oh no

[fresh iron]

hmmm

[proud rain]

and it worked for a week ago

[slate swan]

./databases/prefixes.json the most controversial path I have seen today

[fresh iron]

it worked for a week?

are you sure you haven't changed anything

[cold sonnet]

3

[proud rain]

should i delete 2 of them

[cold sonnet]

the first two

[slate swan]

you do know that the get_prefix on the third position will only be run

[cold sonnet]

they are both overwritten anyways

wait no

[slate swan]

anyways, bye, match started, goodluck meh and exenifix and 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲

[cold sonnet]

the first and last one

[fresh iron]

sebastian finsterwalder

[vale wing]

@proud rain use a proper database, for example sqlite or postgres

[proud rain]

i deleted two of them now

[cold sonnet]

make sure to leave the correct one there

[slate swan]

you had to keep the second one

[proud rain]

i did

[fresh iron]

that's a terrible tutorial

[vale wing]

Is it?

[proud rain]

ok

[fresh iron]

Yh i rate it 2/10

[vale wing]

Ok thx

[proud rain]

okay

but how can i see

[fresh iron]

[ornate aspen]

Is there any example code for local prefix caching for discord bot?

[fresh iron]

interesting

[velvet compass]

Like using a .env file?

[ornate aspen]

Not entirely true, also storing api keys in json file is a bad idea

[static beacon]

especially unhashed

[proud rain]

but how can i fix it?

[vale wing]

Just create a dict with ids as keys and prefixes as values and update the dict when you fetch the prefixes

[ornate aspen]

No, like locally storing prefixes to prevent io bound calls to the database

[vale wing]

That's basic caching

[ornate aspen]

Yeah, I kind of made it myself
https://mystb.in/BaltimoreTheeGroup.python

felt a bit... lacklustre if you will

more like alot of features missing

[vale wing]

Yeah the __main_cache right?

[ornate aspen]

yes

I can set up pg NOTIFY to register changes or use hasura to make a webhook that registers remote changes

but too much work to do from scratch

[south jetty]

i got it from a tutorial on youtube

Hey !
Trying to make a discord bot. I have a command named get.
Inside, i have a ```py
msg = await ctx.send("my message")

I'me trying to add 1️⃣, 2️⃣ and 3️⃣ to that message but couldn't find a way to send that reactions.
Can someone help me ?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.add_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.add\_reaction

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

Adds a reaction to the message.

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

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

Changed in version 2.0: `emoji` parameter is now positional-only.

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

[desert swift]

yeah, but, as they are unicodes emojies, it doesn't works, do u know how to do ?

[spring flax]

!charinfo 1️⃣

[unkempt canyon]

Character Info

\u0031 : DIGIT ONE - 1

\u20e3 : COMBINING ENCLOSING KEYCAP - ⃣

Full Raw Text

\u0031\ufe0f\u20e3

[maiden fable]

\1️⃣

For some reason my discord crashed

[desert swift]

yeah, i tryed x)

[spring flax]

look at the full raw text and copy it. Do the charinfo command for the other emojis in #bot-commands

[spring flax]

copy the full raw text in the above embed

[desert swift]

thks, and, do u know how that command works, to be able to do it "myself"

[spring flax]

type !charinfo [emoji] in #bot-commands

[emoji] is a placeholder value for the emoji you want to get the character information of

[maiden fable]

Bruh for some reason discord is crashing repeatedly

[desert swift]

ok, ill try and say u if it doesn't works

[hoary cargo]

cursed be you tos and privacy policy for bots

[velvet compass]

Huh?

[spring flax]

what?

[desert swift]

aaaarg, it doesn't works !
Error : RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[spring flax]

you have not put await somwehere something

send the full traceback

[desert swift]

no

joking

[spring flax]

uhmm

[desert swift]

just because i didn't put that ???

[spring flax]

yeah you missed an await

if you don't know where, send your code

😔 Thanks discord, not when I try to use the backslash button the app crashes

[desert swift]

thaaaaaaaanks it works !!!!

[proud rain]

Why is my buttons not sending?

[spring flax]

the code would help

[civic path]

anybody know how to actively import code from a seperate python script to the discord bot? im looking for active updates when i run a command but instead the bot will not start until the script its importing from is done (its while loop until i disable it) which completely defeats the purpose of active feedback :p

[proud rain]

@Client.command()
async def button(ctx):
    await ctx.send(
        "",
        components = [
            Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label = 'test!') 
        ]
    )
    interaction = await Client.wait_for("button_click", check=lambda i: i.component.label.startswith(""))
    await interaction.respond(content="test")```

My buttons dont work?

someone who can help

[maiden fable]

which lib

[proud rain]

discord.py

[maiden fable]

and for buttons?

[proud rain]

nextcord i think

[left crater]

huh

[maiden fable]

😔 I will leave it to Raven to help u

[spring flax]

why not use discord.py for buttons?

[left crater]

you do know that discord.py has buttons...

[proud rain]

not before now

[left crater]

what version are you using

[proud rain]

oh i am using discord.py for both

how to see?

[left crater]

did you just do pip install discord?

[spring flax]

pip show discord.py in terminal

[proud rain]

1.7.3

[left crater]

you should probably upgrade

[proud rain]

how to

[spring flax]

if you want you can uninstall it and install again

[proud rain]

still dont fix

[spring flax]

Here is an example of using buttons https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

[left crater]

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

@proud rain

[proud rain]

not working :(

[left crater]

what ide are you using?

[spring flax]

look at the example for buttons

[modest plover]

Hey uhh so this doesn't send the image, why?

    @animals.sub_command()
    async def cat(self, inter):
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.get(f"https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search?api_key={cat_auth}") as resp:
                data = json.loads(await resp.text())
                catEmbed = disnake.Embed(
                    title = "Cat!"
                    ).set_image(
                        url = data[0]['url']
                    ).set_footer(
                        text = "Powered by The Cat API")
                await inter.response.send_message(embed = catEmbed)

No errors

[maiden fable]

can u print url?

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

[rocky trench]

what does pass_context do?

[maiden fable]

Old code

[rocky trench]

basicly passing ctx as argument?

[modest plover]

Lemme test

[maiden fable]

Yea if its set to true then the ctx arg is passed else not

[rocky trench]

async def lol(ctx)

so its the same

[modest plover]

Yes I can

https://cdn2.thecatapi.com/images/4m9.jpg

I get that but as a link

https://cdn2.thecatapi.com/images/4m9.jpg

huh

[maiden fable]

hmm

[modest plover]

It fixed itself magically

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[modest plover]

I don't know how but it did

[civic path]

anybody know how to actively import code from a seperate python script to the discord bot? im looking for active updates when i run a command but instead the bot will not start until the script its importing from is done (its while loop until i disable it) which completely defeats the purpose of active feedback :p

[spring flax]

What do you mean?

[civic path]

so

basically im importing a few variables from a script running a while loop

every loop the variables increase by 1 so thats why i wanted an active variable

but the bot only ever goes online when the while loop is ended

aka the while x = y is no longer true

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @candid veldt!

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

[candid veldt]

I have a problem when I try to start the bot I get this error:
discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.Moderation' raised an error: NameError: name 'tasks' is not defined
code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/denegayife

[gaunt ice]

did u import tasks?

 from discord.ext import tasks

[candid veldt]

Next error:
discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body

[slate swan]

show the whole traceback

[maiden fable]

remove ... and put in a proper ID

[slate swan]

value=discord.utils.format_dt(round(user.joined_at.timestamp()), "F"),```

```AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'timestamp'```
not sure how to resolve it..

[maiden fable]

user.joined_at only

No need for timestamp()

[slate swan]

okay

nvm

[maiden fable]

😔 background sucks

[candid veldt]

[maiden fable]

I smell copied code

and oh well, fetch

[left crater]

its a tutorial i think

[maiden fable]

Hmm nah

[candid veldt]

So it is unfortunately(oops)

[maiden fable]

I told u the issue ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dull terrace]

What's the shortest string i could turn a guild id into while keeping every guild unique

[slate swan]

bro the error says it all

ellipsis isnt a snowflake

[candid veldt]

okay thanks

[grim oar]

What are you doing

[sick birch]

Use discord guild IDs?

[dull terrace]

If a person from a guild wants to attack another they'll have to type an identifier

[slate swan]

how can i do slash (/) commands? Like probot, mee6 and more?

[dull terrace]

i think ill probably make it so they can only attack ones on the leaderboard so itll just be buttons

[sick birch]

discord.py supports slash commands, read into the gist on resuming dpy development for examples

[dull terrace]

https://pypi.org/project/discord-py-slash-command/

[dull terrace]

@slash.slash(description="Start Game.")
async def mine(message):```

[wicked atlas]

You can do slash commands in discord.py 2.0, you just need to install it from main

The d.py readme in github has instructions on how to do that

[desert badger]

How do i fix the Cannot write to closing transport thing?

[south jetty]

just want to confirm, is github working?

I am trying to host my bot, but it isn't working

[wicked atlas]

I mean, it looks like its up

Where are you trying to host your bot?

[south jetty]

heroku

[uncut portal]

that sounds like a plan for disaster

the best way I have found to host discord bot's cost effectively is to buy an rpi and run it on that

super low power and it's all you need

[sick birch]

I wouldn't recommend 3rd party extensions, quite frankly 99% of them suck

[sick birch]

Heroku is not very good, consider switching to an actual host

[flat solstice]

so I used to do this to set up my botpy async def start_bot(self): await self.connect_postgres() for extension in self.config.initial_extensions: ...and now I'm doing this https://github.com/SnowyJaguar1034/Zupie/blob/master/bot/utils/services.py#L137-L163, should I connect to my postgres db from my setup hook or from the main function?

[sick birch]

Both work, before the setup function we did it within the main

But the setup hook makes it easier now

[flat solstice]

so both work but is the setup hook the more 'recommended' or more 'pythonic' way to do it? or does it completely not matter at all

[sick birch]

There's no method that's recommended or Pythonic

By that I mean it doesn't matter

But if you're an organized person you'd probably like the main function better

To have a defined starting point as the very last thing in your file instead of a hook somewhere within your code

[flat solstice]

okay I'll put it in main then (i'm not a very organized coder but I'm trying to be as organized as possible for tis project to make it scalable with the least amount of input from me as it grows. So now should I connect to the db from inside the async with self or not and from within the async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session partpy async def main(self): # so here async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session: # here async with self: # or here print( '------', 'main func', ) for extension in self.config.initial_extensions: try: await self.load_extension(extension) print(f"Loaded {extension.title()}") except Exception: print(f"\nFailed to Load Extension {extension}\n{traceback.format_exc()}\n") self.session = session await self.start(token)

I can't fix this. if I remove the f string `interaction.user.name` won't work but if i put the f string `{}` the error `empty expression not allowed` comes

pls paste the whole tb

[quaint epoch]

can you do ```py
@commands.command(description='this command is sus')
async def sus(sus_self, sus_context, sus_param):
print('sus')

[maiden fable]

sure

[quaint epoch]

and by that i mean, can you put a command description like that?

[wicked atlas]

Either use an fstring OR .format, not both

[maiden fable]

sure

[wicked atlas]

!string

[quaint epoch]

nice

[tardy atlas]

.

[wicked atlas]

!strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[quaint epoch]

#bot-commands

[wicked atlas]

That was for the person i was replying to

Should’ve replied

[tardy atlas]

..

[south jetty]

I can't

[desert badger]

i cant copy it atm smh my phone wont let me

[wicked atlas]

Remove the .format, and put the thing you want to put in the string inside the {}

[maiden fable]

Then please show the whole console

[desert badger]

why is it so low res

[maiden fable]

where r u changing the presence in yr code?

[maiden fable]

No thanks I don't wanna kill my eyes tryna read that

[desert badger]

whenever it plays a new song

[south jetty]

The point will be lost, I am trying to make it so it creates a channel #BedrockEdition-1 then 2.. and goes on

[desert badger]

when it plays a new song it changes its status to the song name

[maiden fable]

Hm

Mind showing some code?

[south jetty]

ok hold on let me try something else

[wicked atlas]

@south jetty Still the same thing

f"{interaction.user.name}-{ticket_number}"

[south jetty]

yes, realized few mins ago

ok so now I am trying to stop the bot from making multiple channels.

if ch.name==f"{interaction.user.name.lower()}":
     await interaction.response.send_message("You already have a ticket opened!", ephemeral=True)
     return ```

[spring flax]

wait what is ```py

async def main(self):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with self:

[wicked atlas]

async context managers creating an aiohttp session

[south jetty]

what exactly would I need to use to identify that someone already has a ticket

[wicked atlas]

use a database

[hollow carbon]

how can my bot online ?? (haha you can't see my token

[slate swan]

bro you know theres a run button on your top right?

and it wont run its on your ready event

it should not be in any funtion

[wicked atlas]

you need to unindent line 13, or it won't run

You should also remove the extra blank line on line 7

[slate swan]

3 extra lines for no reason in the same function

[hollow carbon]

but my cmd didn't print bot is online

[slate swan]

did you did what was said?

[hollow carbon]

yes

[slate swan]

show code

[slate swan]

bro

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

^

[hollow carbon]

😗 sorry

so what I need to do now

[wicked atlas]

You still need to unindent bot.run(...)

It's inside the on_ready function, which won'

t run until the bot has started

[hollow carbon]

🤔

[slate swan]

basic python.

!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

how do i fix that cannot write to closing transport thing ?

[final iron]

What

[civic path]

something really minor

how on earth do i run multiple python scripts at once

i dont even need threading since i have an ext database

yes, this is an incredibly dumb question

but i need an answer anyways

[hollow carbon]

It's so simple sorry i am noob :(

[slate swan]

Dont be sorry 😄

[slate swan]

bro you had everything right you just need to delete 4spaces/an indent level

[hollow carbon]

Actually i am just 13

[slate swan]

doesnt matter

[hollow carbon]

;)

[slate swan]

being young doesnt mean you cant code

[hollow carbon]

🥰🥰🥰

[maiden fable]

oki was coding since he was 1, so you can surely code since u r 13 (:

[slate swan]

yup

I've made a badge-list, but when i test it on a user without a badge it says In embeds.0.fields.1.value: This field is required
and i want to make it so it doesn't add the field for users without a badge, any ideas?

badgelist = ""
    if user.public_flags.hypesquad_brilliance:
        badgelist += f":brilliance: Hypesquad Brilliance\n"
    if user.public_flags.hypesquad_bravery:
        badgelist += f":bravery: Hypesquad Bravery\n"
    if user.public_flags.hypesquad_balance:
        badgelist += f":balance: Hypesquad Balance\n"

    e.add_field(
        name=f"**Badges**",
        value=badgelist,
        inline=False,
    )```

!?

            if not set([FO, HC,GM]).intersection(set(message.author.roles)):
                return await message.channel.send("You have no access to this")

[slate swan]

instead of "+=" use global keyword

!global

[unkempt canyon]

When adding functions or classes to a program, it can be tempting to reference inaccessible variables by declaring them as global. Doing this can result in code that is harder to read, debug and test. Instead of using globals, pass variables or objects as parameters and receive return values.

Instead of writing

def update_score():
    global score, roll
    score = score + roll
update_score()

do this instead

def update_score(score, roll):
    return score + roll
score = update_score(score, roll)

For in-depth explanations on why global variables are bad news in a variety of situations, see this Stack Overflow answer.

[hoary cargo]

tell people to use globals

globals bad

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

atleast its better than "+="

not really
