[slate swan]

how do i read the last 50 messages in a channel through my bot

[flat solstice]

It's the new way to start dpy bots based on dpys new asyncio changes

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permissions to use this.

thanks

[cold sonnet]

I could do this at 13

[slate swan]

sadly when i was 13 i was busy with games lmao

[hollow carbon]

🥲😗🥺

[cold sonnet]

I still am

[hollow carbon]

lol

[cold sonnet]

I'm not any proud

[slate swan]

imagine playing games wouldnt be me

but ngl coding is alot fun (and painful lmao)

[slate swan]

rainbow

[maiden fable]

Don't get me started

Try game deving, you will see how fun it is

[cold sonnet]

it is

[slate swan]

[cold sonnet]

[slate swan]

yes

[junior verge]

ImportError: cannot import name 'app_commands' from 'discord' uh

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(Ping(client))

[cold sonnet]

yeah I don't think so either

wait

well the docs say it's there

[hushed galleon]

that means you need to upgrade your dpy

[cold sonnet]

the website docs

but not even the python bot knows about it

wassup with that

[formal basin]

When I run this command it sends 4 things but i only want it to send 1

[hushed galleon]

also setup() and add_cog have been changed to be asynchronous in the latest updates to dpy

[formal basin]

How do I fix it

[cold sonnet]

deindent the send line

take it outta the for loop

[slate swan]

you mean unindent?

[cold sonnet]

I'm gonna search up your messages and correct every single grammar mistake you've ever made on this server

nah jk

[slate swan]

I'm gonna search up your messages and correct every single grammar mistake you've ever made on this server.*

[stone beacon]

🗿

[cold sonnet]

jkn't

[cold sonnet]

wouldn't

[formal basin]

You talking to me?

[cold sonnet]

can't

doesn't

[cold sonnet]

yes

[formal basin]

Oh

[cold sonnet]

did you do

won't, in

Imma stop

[tidal hawk]

Don't stop

[cold sonnet]

nah Imma stop

[slate swan]

how do i make a bot not add a field jf the user has no badges but add a field if the user has a badge

[formal basin]

I need to keep it indented

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.Member.public_flags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.public\_flags

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

[cold sonnet]

check if this is empty or not

[cold sonnet]

then it won't do what you want it to

[formal basin]

But I will get a error

[slate swan]

Reason why you're single.

the docs don’t help

[cold sonnet]

just remove four spaces from the send line 😦

[formal basin]

Ok

[cold sonnet]

if member.public_flags:
    #he has badges
else:
    #he don't have badges

doesn't

[slate swan]

okay thanks

[cold sonnet]

just slang

[formal basin]

It still sends 4 messages

[cold sonnet]

show what you did

[cold sonnet]

how did you know 😳

okimi you're being

sus

[cold sonnet]

you removed like 8 spaces

[formal basin]

No I removed 4

[cold sonnet]

you're indenting with 2 spaces?

[slate swan]

Okimii*

[cold sonnet]

are u single too

[formal basin]

No that’s 0

[slate swan]

nah @final iron is my gf

[cold sonnet]

oh

[slate swan]

😳

[cold sonnet]

anyways, you unindented your send by two indents

[slate swan]

[formal basin]

Ok

[cold sonnet]

it has to be on the same level as your for loop

[final iron]

😳

[slate swan]

😏

[formal basin]

Thanks

[cold sonnet]

technically

it should be undent

[cold sonnet]

two dents*

[slate swan]

In embeds.0.fields.0.value: This field is required I'm still getting this error.

[cold sonnet]

oh there you go-o
can't make a field without a value

it doesn't rhyme :c

can't make a field without a value

[slate swan]

value=badgelist, is it because of this?

[cold sonnet]

if the list is empty

it's because of that

[slate swan]

what should i add into it then?

[cold sonnet]

value=badgelist if badgelist else "None"

[slate swan]

if user.public_flags:
        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 if badgelist else "None",
            inline=False,
        )

    else:```
ive got this

[cold sonnet]

that's no list

this didn't fix it

[slate swan]

i dont get what you mean by list

[cold sonnet]

value=badgelist if badgelist != "" else "None"

the value is badgelist if badgelist isn't empty

else the value is None

[slate swan]

do i still need if user.public_flags:

[cold sonnet]

yeah ig

yeah

[slate swan]

got an idea use a list right, since the user cannot have more than 1 hypersquad tag and then get the "emoji" from the list e.g value=badgelist[0] if badgelist != "" else "None"

[cold sonnet]

don't think there's a need to do that

[slate swan]

still doesnt work

[slate swan]

i mean why u need to use a list since the user cannot have more than 1 hypersquad tag

[cold sonnet]

he don't use a list

[slate swan]

oh my bad i saw "badgelist" thought it was a list

in the badges field it just returns with :

!e py empty = "" if 1 == 1: empty += "2" print(empty) print(empty)

[unkempt canyon]

[cold sonnet]

there could be many stuff in public_flags

[slate swan]

like?

ill just leave it outta my code

too hard

[cold sonnet]

nitro booster

hypesquad stuff

idk lmao

bot dev

[slate swan]

so basically that for discord badges ?

[cold sonnet]

public_flags is a list of badges

[slate swan]

i just want the hypesquad

[cold sonnet]

then your code should work fine

innit

[slate swan]

it doesnt

[cold sonnet]

why

what's the error or problem

[slate swan]

firstly i dont even know what should be in my code, you said about a list then said no, and im confused now

[cold sonnet]

there are always multiple ways to do something

[slate swan]

but i dont know what ways, thats why im asking

[cold sonnet]

you could make a list but then you'd have to join the elements

[slate swan]

but i dont know how to, that why im asking

[cold sonnet]

so a string is good

which you did

[slate swan]

ok

what next?

[reef dock]

in April with the new change to the message thing and bots have to move over to slash commands will all bots be affected or only verified bots?

[sick birch]

Just verified bots

[reef dock]

👌 thx for the answer

[manic wing]

!e print(bool(""))

[unkempt canyon]

@manic wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

False

[manic wing]

comprehend

[cold sonnet]

what

doesn't matter

[manic wing]

badgelist if badgelist else "None"
is better than what you recommended,
value=badgelist if badgelist != "" else "None"

because "" evaluates to False and any string that is not empty evaluates to True

[cold sonnet]

I did the first one before

I thought it only returns False to None and empty lists and stuff like that

everything but empty strings

[manic wing]

it doesnt

!e py print(bool([]), bool(""), bool({}), bool(...), bool(False))

[unkempt canyon]

@manic wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

False False False True False

[manic wing]

"" evalutates to False

[junior verge]

how to check your discord.py version in the terminal?

[manic wing]

discord.__version__

[junior verge]

Yeah but what do I type

[manic wing]

that with discord.py

!e py import os print(os.__version__)

[unkempt canyon]

@manic wing :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
003 | AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute '__version__'

[manic wing]

thats what it would be

builtin modules dont have versions

[junior verge]

yeah it works

[manic wing]

!e globals().getitem("print").call(dir(import('os')))

[junior verge]

import os
import discord
print(discord.__version__)
``` just did that xD

[unkempt canyon]

@manic wing :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
003 | KeyError: 'print'

[manic wing]

god damn containerized eval

[junior verge]

u good

[manic wing]

yup, nice and simple

[manic wing]

nah, the containerized eval does shit to the mind

!e builtins

[unkempt canyon]

@manic wing :warning: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

[slate swan]

Since when does this come up in pycharm? And how to remove it?

[slim ibex]

because discord.Client is bad

Use discord.ext.commands.Bot. It’s a subclass of Client, with commands, so there is no reason to not use it

[vocal plover]

What if I don't need commands?

[slim ibex]

???

that’s literally the whole point of a discord bot?

[slate swan]

but ive used discord.Client this whole time and just now it says that

[vocal plover]

No, it's not, there's plenty of things you can do which are not command based

Metric collection, for example

[slim ibex]

switch over to commands.Bot

yes, but most people won’t be doing that

And you should still use commands.Bot regardless

[vocal plover]

sure but "no reason" is a little misleading

sometimes there is a reason

[slim ibex]

there is zero reason to not use commands.Bot

[slate swan]

is there any way to change all @client.command to @bot.command in a short amount of time?

[slim ibex]

CTRL+F

[vocal plover]

It's more complex and a bit heavier on performance because it does command processing too, if you don't need that why use it

[slim ibex]

find all the @client and replace with @bot

You will also have to change your variable name that instantiates the bot

[slate swan]

is there a shortcut to edit all in the same time? like in visual studio code?

[slim ibex]

Better organization with cogs, regardless if you don’t use commands or not

[slim ibex]

I think it’s like the second to last one on PyCharm that is the one that selects all occurrences of it

just hover over them and read what it says

[tidal hawk]

If I remember correctly, there's an option called "refactor"

Which basically does the same like CTRL + H in Vscode

But it also refactors all of the variables from different files, which is nice

[slate swan]

yea got it the message is gone now thanks!

[slate swan]

well now this has come up, before it, it worked

[cloud dawn]

Refractor != replace all

[tidal hawk]

Refactor all*

[slate swan]

its Client?

[cloud dawn]

Still not since refractor is a algorithm that also looks at imports and references.

[slate swan]

well i changed all Client to bot and now this is happening ive tried to rename it to client again but did nothing

[slate swan]

no i mean aiohttp.ClientSession

[spring cape]

Hello guys, I'm using nextcord to make a bot for a discord server and currently developing a ticket system. I'm stuck on making the basic logic, closing the ticket, opening and deleting.
The main problem is making a close, delete and open commands and making those commands restricted to the staff.
I've tried a lot of things but nothing seems to work properly.
Does anyone have a working ticket system and is willing to guide me in the right direction on how I should approach this problem?

[slate swan]

i had the .ClientSession small that was the problem so its fixxed again

[tidal hawk]

Haven't gone into the depth of how refractor works, but it has done similiar job like Ctrl + H for me

[slate swan]

oh alr

[cloud dawn]

Well refactoring is awesome in pycharm since if you refractor a file name for example every import and reference inside the import will update as well saving you from renaming everything.

[tidal hawk]

I was wondering before, is there a similar thing in Vscode?

Which also refactors the imports, file names etc

Extension of some kind perhaps

[cloud dawn]

Most likely not since that extension would be huge.

[royal jasper]

i want to add a role to a user when he mention a role (using client.wait_for) how can i do it?

[cloud dawn]

Pycharm has it build in, it is open source so you could do it in theory.

[tidal hawk]

Hm okay

[cloud dawn]

Every time someone would want a specific role would mention them..? I recommend doing something else, I could still help you if you want.

[tidal hawk]

How would that work? Bot reads all messages and if it gets "@babaooey" then it gives him the role?

[cloud dawn]

That's what the wanted yeah, in a given time of course. But it will keep mention everyone in that role.

Since you can't mention unmentionable roles.

[tidal hawk]

mhm

[cloud dawn]

Thus reaction bots were invented.

[tidal hawk]

What's the easiest way to create the python compiler into discord bot

!e print('hw')

I could use google but ur expert in this field

[livid jacinth]

How i can create an command which i can execute in the bot dm

?

[tidal hawk]

You can use commands in bot dm? unless you have disabled it

[livid jacinth]

No i want a command in the bot dm

[slate swan]

well

[slate swan]

ctx.message?

[slate swan]

well thanks it would work but how can i make it react to the message of the bot?

[cloud dawn]

The easiest way but unsecure is exec

[slate swan]

define the message e.g ```py
message = await ctx.send("d")

[cloud dawn]

!d exec

[unkempt canyon]

exec

exec(object[, globals[, locals]])```
This function supports dynamic execution of Python code. *object* must be either a string or a code object. If it is a string, the string is parsed as a suite of Python statements which is then executed (unless a syntax error occurs). [1](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#id2) If it is a code object, it is simply executed. In all cases, the code that’s executed is expected to be valid as file input (see the section [File input](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/toplevel_components.html#file-input) in the Reference Manual). Be aware that the [`nonlocal`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#nonlocal), [`yield`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#yield), and [`return`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#return) statements may not be used outside of function definitions even within the context of code passed to the [`exec()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#exec "exec") function. The return value is `None`.

[slate swan]

thanks

[livid jacinth]

How i can create an command which i can execute in the bot dm?

[tidal hawk]

Okayy

[tidal hawk]

Only from dm’s?

[livid jacinth]

Yes

[cloud dawn]

Problem with exec is that it needs heavy modifying to be actually save.
This is what the @unkempt canyon bot uses https://github.com/python-discord/snekbox

[tidal hawk]

if ctx.guild is None

[livid jacinth]

ahh thx

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.dm_only

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.dm\_only

@discord.ext.commands.dm_only()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that indicates this command must only be used in a DM context. Only private messages are allowed when using the command.

This check raises a special exception, [`PrivateMessageOnly`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.PrivateMessageOnly "discord.ext.commands.PrivateMessageOnly") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

New in version 1.1.

[pliant gulch]

What does save here mean?

[cloud dawn]

Save in terms of people running malicious code.

[pliant gulch]

Oh, kek why not just say safe??

[cloud dawn]

Because egnlish

[pliant gulch]

For a second there I thought you meant like saving state, saving variables etc

Save & Safe are two different words 👁️ 👁️

[livid jacinth]

How i can get the message after execute the command?

[cloud dawn]

Like..?

Message of whom? The bot send or you send.

[livid jacinth]

No i mean you execute the command and if you send then message the will be deleted by the bot

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[cloud dawn]

Has a delete_after kwarg you can use accepts int & floats is in seconds.

[livid jacinth]

Okay thank you

[solar summit]

not much of a discord.py question

[flat solstice]

true

moving it to #python-discussion

[cloud dawn]

@flat solstice Why would you need this?

[flat solstice]

in case i need to retrieve data that the bot stores that isn't normally exposed by a command, mostly for responses that don't need a guild ID. it's useful is situations where I can't access the db host but need data from the db, perhaps for troubleshooting purposes

[rocky hornet]

what do you think of ```py
class MyBot(commands.Bot):
async def login(self, token):
await super().login(token)
self.name = (await self.application_info()).name

[slate swan]

should add annotations

[rocky hornet]

im asking about the idea

does it seems like a not terrible idea

[slate swan]

well im not sure what it does but it looks fine to me

[rocky hornet]

saves app name inside bot's object so the bot is always aware of its name

can use that in responses

[slate swan]

doesnt a bot object already know its name?

[rocky hornet]

it knows its user name but not app name

and bot object isnt always accessible

[pliant gulch]

Where does the API require the application name again

I forgot, but probably somewhere right

[rocky hornet]

require?

[slate swan]

why would it require the apps name?

[rocky hornet]

it requires a token to log you in

[slate swan]

ofc

[pliant gulch]

Yea, like what endpoint need's the bot's application name though

[rocky hornet]

none?

i intend to use that for user reponses

[cloud dawn]

And why do you need it at the start of a session?

[pliant gulch]

User responses?

Wouldn't it make sense to store the full app info object to your bot, rather than just the name as well??

[rocky hornet]

like u do !help and u say f"{bot.name}'s help:"

[pliant gulch]

That's a waste of a call if you only use it for the name

It would make more sense to store something like bot.info

[rocky hornet]

name, owner, nothing else seems useful

[slate swan]

i dont really see any reason why this would be necessary

[rocky hornet]

bot's user name may change e.g. on some events like new year or other occasions

[pliant gulch]

Yea, but then you'd be wasting an API call

Application is niche anyways, just give the full data from the first request to not require any further ones

[rocky hornet]

i dont see a problem with that

[pliant gulch]

I don't want to make a full batch of cookie dough and only bake one cookie

[slate swan]

and what happens if the app name is different to the bots name

[pliant gulch]

Same principle

[rocky hornet]

api calls dont matter before connect() occurs

[rocky hornet]

thats the point

[pliant gulch]

An API call is an API call? You still have ratelimits and you also use up bandwith

[rocky hornet]

i want it to be consistent

[slate swan]

on_connect? or

[pliant gulch]

Consistent with what?

[rocky hornet]

discord.Client.connect if we're talking dpy

[rocky hornet]

with its actual name

[rocky hornet]

.

yes

[cloud dawn]

Why would it change?

[rocky hornet]

mobile data will give u a random IP tho

[pliant gulch]

I'm totally confused here, application name would be the one the developer seens on the frontend, not the bot's account username. In the example you shown it would be weird in cases where Application Name is Foo and the actual bot's user account name is Bar

[rocky hornet]

for example your bot's name is Bot and you would like to change it to ❄️Bot❄️ on new year

[cloud dawn]

I'd use my vps.

[rocky hornet]

but you still want the original Bot to appear in all bot's messages

you can use heroku or railway

[cloud dawn]

Ahh now it's more clear lol

[slim ibex]

don't host discord bot on heroku

[loud junco]

how do i create a var in another file and call it in main.py

[rocky hornet]

reason?

[slim ibex]

its make for web services

[rocky hornet]

cuz u heard it from somewhere?

[cloud dawn]

By using import

[rocky hornet]

oh guess what a discord bot is a web service

[cloud dawn]

No it's meant to host web services, not bots.

[slate swan]

doesnt that get triggered when it connects to a websocket to the gateway how would it make a request?

[slim ibex]

what are you grtting at here?

[cloud dawn]

This is very false.

[rocky hornet]

who cares about what its meant for? heroku is a solid platform if you're looking for a free solution to host your bot

[slim ibex]

????????

[cloud dawn]

But @slim ibexit was for a temporary power outage to launch his bot not meant as permanent solution.

[rocky hornet]

it gets the job done and is not too bad at it

[slate swan]

@rocky hornet

[cloud dawn]

I disagree with this, it's a "decent" platform if you're looking for a private bot.

[slate swan]

heroku isnt really ment for bots

[rocky hornet]

if you make an api call between login and connect, i dont think its noticeable, at least for my bot it takes at least half a minute to connect

[rocky hornet]

my bot has 50 servers and heroku is yet to fail me once

[slate swan]

it probably is noticeable

[loud junco]

attribute error

[rocky hornet]

these people are just ignorant, yes its more than fine

[slate swan]

why would the gateway not notice an api call?

[cloud dawn]

Depending on the size of those servers and what kind of things you do with the bots it may vary yeah.

[cloud dawn]

How are you importing it?

[slate swan]

bro thats just dumb saying everyone here is ignorant💀

[rocky hornet]

your best argument is "its not meant for that"

💀

[rocky hornet]

when its literally free

[slim ibex]

from personal experience, it is so annoying that Heroku will spin up a URL which can get messy. It also restarts a lot. In addition, there isn't the best CPU and RAM in Heroku, so a big bot would go on fire.

[stone beacon]

🗿

[loud junco]

from item import item

[cloud dawn]

Code?

[loud junco]

wait wait
i accidentally delete whole chunks :/

[rocky hornet]

definitely not for big bots, i agree

[slate swan]

best argument? read this bro #discord-bots message

[pliant gulch]

Heroku shares IPs amongst it's servers, therefor if someone get's ratelimited on a cluster, so do you

And again, to go on the fact it's shared, that means your resources are shared as well

[cloud dawn]

How is that not a valid argument?

[slate swan]

ive never seen andy lose an argument😔

[rocky hornet]

my voice always worked on heroku, bot doesnt restart ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rocky hornet]

doesnt seem like a valid complaint since its free

for what it offers, its good

[slate swan]

for hosting bots*

[slate swan]

bro how isnt that valid

[loud junco]

@cloud dawn
this is item.py

from replit import db
async def item(ctx):
  global userid, cooked_pogchop, beef, steak, wool, map_scrap
  userid = int(ctx.author.id)
  cooked_pogchop =  db[userid + 'cooked_pogchop']
  beef =  db[userid + 'beef']
  steak =  db[userid + 'steak']
  wool =  db[userid + 'wool']
  map_scrap =  db[userid + 'map_scrap']

[rocky hornet]

well it is an argument, but the fact that it's free completely outweighs it

[slim ibex]

o no

[loud junco]

ikr

[cloud dawn]

Do you have an init file?

[slate swan]

doesnt that give you just 1 month or something

[loud junco]

nope :/

[slim ibex]

good things in life aren't free

[rocky hornet]

been hosting my bot there for 2 years

[cloud dawn]

Not too sure if importing is different on repl

[slate swan]

how much guilds and members?

[loud junco]

what will u do if u meet this kind of problem

[rocky hornet]

50 guilds, 50k members

[loud junco]

so...

[cloud dawn]

Well if I get an import error check if the init file is good and if i typed it correctly.

[slate swan]

im not sure if thats a good idea especially ratelimits

[pliant gulch]

Ok, sure it's free, that's a plus. But none the less I'd rather use other options. It's all opinionated mostly, but opinions don't change the facts

[loud junco]

so where do i create the init file

[slim ibex]

what he is doing should work. he just needs to open and parse the json file. But, JSON is not a suitable DB. In addition, the replit DB is a key value db

[pliant gulch]

You have amazing enterprise level options such as AWS, IBM, GCP etc, all which have a trial

[rocky hornet]

slow, limited, inefficient

[rocky hornet]

1 year trial

[pliant gulch]

Oracle, even has a perm free tier I've heard?

[cloud dawn]

In the root.

[rocky hornet]

i just want to set up my bot and not manage it

[loud junco]

so its not working where it should work? 🤣

[slim ibex]

ik

[loud junco]

so what i do :/

[slim ibex]

regardless, @loud junco, don't use replit's db or any db that is JSON (key value stores are FINE though such as Redis, and MongoDB)

[rocky hornet]

objectbase 😌

[cloud dawn]

mongo joined the chat

[loud junco]

tell replit 🤣

[slate swan]

mongo in a sense

class Mongo(json):
    ...
```🗿

[slim ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/aneurysm-hhhhomeboyyyy-kings-dark-tidings-saga-by-kel-kade-reaperleviathan-head-explode-gif-21578105

[slate swan]

big stroke

[cloud dawn]

So the solution you're providing is using a paid database for his free hosting?

[loud junco]

i just saw something

this is wrong right?

[slim ibex]

1. __init__ should not be async or take ctx
2. class Stats not class stats()

[slate swan]

more like a big dict

[pliant gulch]

Not really

[slate swan]

take a joke

[pliant gulch]

No

[slate swan]

old timer

[cloud dawn]

async class m(json):
    ...
``` he meant this

[loud junco]

so just remove the async and change stats => Stats?

[slate swan]

[slim ibex]

i was saying that as in if he liked the replit db, he could check out a key value store that is SOMEWHAT similar. But, I would much rather him use an RDBMS like SQLite

[pliant gulch]

from __future__ import annotations

db = {}

@type.__call__
class __annotations__:
    def __setitem__(self, key: str, value: str) -> None:
        db[key] = value

user: 123
print(db["user"])
``` 😳 look at my db

[slim ibex]

shitttttttttttt

bro def just wrote that rn

[slate swan]

you really said dict()

[slim ibex]

oh shit I go into the Rust server and see this long ass codeblock

[slate swan]

imagine how much females andy gets with this talent😔

[cloud dawn]

-1

[slim ibex]

shit lol

[slate swan]

1+ man

😳

[cloud dawn]

I'd ****

[slate swan]

that guy is probably brandon

[cloud dawn]

We went from repl.it db to mock mongo db to females, oh the circle of life.

[slate swan]

[loud junco]

class item():
  def __init__(self, ctx):
    self.userid = int(ctx.author.id)
    self.cooked_pogchop =  db[self.userid + 'cooked_pogchop']

[boreal ravine]

replit's database is blocking

[loud junco]

so how i fix that

[boreal ravine]

don't use it

[loud junco]

:/

bruh

[boreal ravine]

don't await the class itself

[loud junco]

okok

class stats:
  def __init__(self, ctx):
    self.userid = str(ctx.author.id)
    self.helmet = db[self.userid  +'helmet']
```if this is the variable how do i call it
stats.helmet?

[cloud dawn]

obj.helmet

[loud junco]

eh
why obj
why not stats

[boreal ravine]

just get it by ```py
_stats = stats(ctx)
_stats.helmet

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
class Test:
def init(self, name: str) -> None:
self.name = name

some_obj = Test("Dave")
print(some_obj.name)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Dave

[loud junco]

:/

so i say it as obj.helmet in main.py?

[cloud dawn]

obj can me any name

[slate swan]

what would happen if you make a class initiate a coroutine?

[loud junco]

ERROR

[boreal ravine]

not say, you write it

[loud junco]

...

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
class Stats:
def init(self) -> None:
self.helmet = "diamond"

stats = Stats()
print(stats.helmet)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

diamond

[loud junco]

i think i cant do the stats = Stats() in main.py
some class not declared thing will appear

[cloud dawn]

Then i recommend making it a method instead so you don't have to define it.

[boreal ravine]

Yeah because it's stats not Stats..

[slate swan]

mhm

[boreal ravine]

[cloud dawn]

What about overriding the init using new to make init a coro

[slate swan]

or even better use a classmethod

[pliant gulch]

You could do a class method, or alternatively run a task in the constructor

[stone beacon]

wym

[slate swan]

nothing i just wanted to know what error it would raise lol

[slate swan]

try it

[slate swan]

bro

lol

[left crater]

how can i get a watching status?

[slate swan]

easy

[left crater]

easy is not an answer

@slate swan I did mine like that

[left crater]

if you did it in on_ready thats a big nono

[slate swan]

in what event on guild join?

[slate swan]

nope

[left crater]

how would i do it in a bot contructor?

[slate swan]

you did?

[slate swan]

right here?

just add another comma

wut

ok I'm confusing myself now

🤣

[slate swan]

you have to say add a name I think

[boreal ravine]

try activity=discord.Activity(discord.ActivityType.watching) since Activity is inherited from "BaseActivity"

[left crater]

yeah i figured it out

[slate swan]

name = "your message"

how I did mine idk

!indention

[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

[peak badge]

discord.py abandoned?

serves wrong '-'

[stark lintel]

fsa f

oops

[peak badge]

did not work :/

[slate swan]

Variable naming, it's a Bot class, so name it bot, not client,
import order, libraries like os should be imported before other packages ( pep8) ```py
import os

from nextcord.ext import commands

Everything else looks fine

Oh nvm

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

you can use list comps

it would return a list of cogs as well which can come in handy

And in the end you can have a comment #okimii is cool
To make your code look cooler

[slate swan]

bot.cogs be like..

[slate swan]

😳

[slate swan]

they dont call me a one liner wizard for nothing

no one calls me that

[cloud dawn]

Why stop at just loading cogs

[slate swan]

😳

good point

[slate swan]

fun fact: pep8 gets mad at you

[pliant gulch]

Map would probably be faster here, but also depends on data size

[slate swan]

yeah😔

and that one liner wont handle errors

[slate swan]

i know we've had a convo about this before🗿

😔 plus, __init__.py users like me will hate u

less than 10 cogs would be fine

[cloud dawn]

Tru

[slate swan]

[boreal ravine]

why would you need that in a cogs folder

[cloud dawn]

Because some cogs are properly structured?

[slate swan]

why not? depends on what you are doing

[boreal ravine]

Define "structured"

[cloud dawn]

!source

[unkempt canyon]

Bot's GitHub Repository

Repository

Go to GitHub

[pliant gulch]

Cogs are classes, so namespace file would be helpful when needing to use them in other areas

[boreal ravine]

A repository

awesome

[slate swan]

yeah its good to have good namespaces

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

unlike discord.member.Member

[pliant gulch]

In one of my projects the namespace was polluted because of an un-proper __all__, so I just had a random aiohttp in my namespace

[slate swan]

💀

btw why would it matter if you need to make it a list?

wouldnt that sorta balance it in speed

thats not my point tho

[dull terrace]

can someone name the most common games that bots have

it should return the cog name smh😔

look into dank member & owo, you'll get pretty much many ideas

wait you got the intents,

[slate swan]

why is their 2 try except blocks that catch an error and then raises them?

but you didnt add it in your client

man, did you mixed this code from multiple sources

sarthak is tired of mixed bad yt tutorials

[dull terrace]

my whole code is a bad youtube tutorial

[slate swan]

true, especially the client ones

[slate swan]

or the Client ones

[slate swan]

lemme guess, lucas?

or when they subclass Client😔

[slate swan]

💀 it seems like discord.py is the only library which takes token as an argument in run/start
all other libraries i tried ( hikari, rin, hata) have it inside their Client/GatewayBot itself

[pliant gulch]

Ok, not sure what your question is though

[final iron]

🗿

[slate swan]

well you need to make it a list with the list converter so wouldn't that make it sorta slow?

[pliant gulch]

You don’t always need to make it a list, it’s a generator

You could use next, you could unpack it etc

You can iterate it and so on

[slate swan]

good point

[slate swan]

doesnt map return an iterator hence why you use next

?

[pliant gulch]

Technically yes, but it’s a generator

Generators are interators

Or iterable

[slate swan]

ah ic

[pliant gulch]

That being said, since it is a generator values are generated on demand, this makes them “lazy”

Which saves compute time when dealing with large data sets

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

do you like search for pep8 in:#discord-bots

[final iron]

No I'm just lonely so I read chat

[sullen pewter]

I've just got an order and this is what he said:
"Can the bot connect with my bot?
I mean, I code my bot in bdfd and you code bot in discord.py
Do they can be connect each other?
For example. When I run /wallet
Then my bot will give me info that how much coins that I have.

Then when I run /buyTV
Then your bot will deduct my coins

Is it possible?"

Is it possible?

[solar summit]

a currency bot?

wdym bot connect with my bot

[sullen pewter]

Money is in one bot

Shop in another

[sullen pewter]

Will that work?

[final iron]

Just share a database

If you both use the same database file or whatever it's called then they can be "linked"

[sullen pewter]

Ok

[solar summit]

a shared database where they can both access it, just put it in the same directory

[sick birch]

You can have a central API for both bots to access

The API would act as a middleman between your database and both of your bots

[solar summit]

an api just for a discord bot though? I guess mongodb could work?

i mean seems a bit complex for something like that, depends on how much data his gonna be dealing with

[sick birch]

Nothing wrong with it. I do it for my bots. I write the API using Express.js and Prisma ORM which is really nice do I don't have to do deal with sql queries

If the API is hosted locally on the same machine as the bots network latency is going to be negligible

[solar summit]

thats fair, could also be expanded onto other things

[sick birch]

Yeah I like to practice seperation of concern so the discord bot is only really a front-end thing

All it does is get data, send data to an API, and display the data in a nice form

All the heavy lifting and logic is done by an API server

[solar summit]

never thought of it that way

now i cant unsee discord bots as a front end thing 😂

[sick birch]

Haha, glad I could provide a new perspective

Also one advantage of the method I mentioned is you don't need extra dependencies like motor as aiosqlite or any python async connectors really. You just need aiohttp and you can make HTTP requests to your localhost

& the backend can be whatever language you want really. Go with javascript for convenience or if you want speed you can write it in C or Rust (not sure if those support webservers)

[glacial echo]

if i have a dict of channel id, where the value stored for each channel is a list of user id, how would i check position 0 of the current channel

[brave flint]

how to get command int?

total command int

[slate swan]

the int of what exactly?

[brave flint]

nvm and i mean len

[slate swan]

you mean the len of all commands? im not sure how you would get the len of a command

[glacial echo]

how do i run a delete message ?

await ctx.message.delete() doesnt work

waiitttt

slash commands do that automatically

[boreal ravine]

No

slash commands don't have messages

[glacial echo]

right

w h y

[vale wing]

Iirc in slash commands it is inter.response.delete_original_message()

[slate swan]

ephemeral messages need to be done to respond to the interaction

[vale wing]

Or do the ephemeral

[maiden fable]

Yes

[glacial echo]

i mean

the idea was other players dont see the message, so it being a slash command solved that problem

but rn its not letting me run commands

it worked once though

[boreal ravine]

what?

how does a message become "done"

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

channel or author is missing

[glacial echo]

this is slash commands

[slate swan]

ctx for slashes 😔

[boreal ravine]

quite obvious

[glacial echo]

https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

but idk what part of that is missing

[boreal ravine]

what library are you using

[glacial echo]

see above

[slate swan]

why not just use main?

[glacial echo]

from what i could find discord.py doesnt have slash commands documented anywhere

[slate swan]

check repo

[boreal ravine]

they implemented slash commands a while ago

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/docs/interactions/api.rst

[glacial echo]

that looks like itd need me to do a total rewrite, whereas this so far has been a refactor

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

lovely thing about dpy you need to make a whole rewrite because of all the new breaking changes

[glacial echo]

ok but so far this has now worked

using that other library

[boreal ravine]

make an issue on the github and wait for a response i guess or ask in the support server if they have one

[glacial echo]

and it was just a refactor

do slash commands not have channels?

[boreal ravine]

they do

[boreal ravine]

what do you mean by "done"

The channel the interaction was sent from.

Note that due to a Discord limitation, DM channels are not resolved since there is no data to complete them. These are PartialMessageable instead.

[slate swan]

they do have channels

[boreal ravine]

they're not using disnake

[slate swan]

i ment theyre needed

[slate swan]

well, it was just to show them that "channels in slashes" do exist

[glacial echo]

do slash commands not have "authors" then?

[maiden fable]

Ofc

[boreal ravine]

I already said that :)

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[maiden fable]

They have channel, author and message

[slate swan]

why even have slashes when there cant be any author

[slate swan]

its author for slashes

[maiden fable]

Anonymous User

[maiden fable]

user also works, so, uhhh

[slate swan]

imagine

[slate swan]

pardon?

[slate swan]

oh wait, its an interaction too, I'm high

I'll get some sleep 😔 bye

[maiden fable]

Not surprising

[slate swan]

pardoned 😔

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

Hunter, what was the command to install the master branch for dpy

[glacial echo]

[boreal ravine]

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

[maiden fable]

[slate swan]

already installed thanks anyways

[maiden fable]

Then did u just want me to waste my energy and write that?

[glacial echo]

[maiden fable]

Can u print ctx.author.id plz?

Also ctx.channel_id

!d discord.Interaction.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.channel

The channel the interaction was sent from.

Note that due to a Discord limitation, DM channels are not resolved since there is no data to complete them. These are PartialMessageable instead.

[maiden fable]

This is also there tho

[slate swan]

nah, I didnt want to open github to get the link of the repo, then copy paste the url, then go back to my terminal and write 3-4 words more and then paste the link then press enter 😔

[boreal ravine]

channel_id isn't in the dictionary

[maiden fable]

Tf

Means the same thing as wasting my energy to save yours. Understandable

[slate swan]

!ot

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channel: #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Don't become like Ash, only one annoyer is enough

[slate swan]

take the conversation somewhere else

[maiden fable]

I better go away cry in a corner cya

[glacial echo]

wha

[slate swan]

youre trying to index a dictionary with an object that isnt a key

[maiden fable]

There's a high probability that the channel ID in the dict is a string but interaction.channel_id returns an int

[slate swan]

!e print({1: 2}[3])

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
003 | KeyError: 3

[maiden fable]

Remove the quotes lmao

[boreal ravine]

Thats a string

[glacial echo]

?

[slate swan]

not sure why they both said that

[maiden fable]

Nvm I'm most probably outta my mind

[glacial echo]

ok so the issue is? that the check fails because the key isnt in the dictionary?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[glacial echo]

but then shoudlnt that not break?

[slate swan]

define break

[glacial echo]

shouldnt the check return false and move on to the else

or is it more fundamental than that

[slate swan]

its raising a keyerror

you would need to catch the error

[glacial echo]

how do i check if a variable is in the keys of a dict

i think whats going fucky is me trying to implement per-channel games

[boreal ravine]

if client.players.get(ctx.channel_id, None) is None:
    return
``` this'll handle the keyerror for you

[glacial echo]

as before only the game active in a channel was per channel

[slate swan]

!e
if "a" in {"a": 2}:
print("yup")

[unkempt canyon]

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

yup

[slate swan]

why not

if not client.players.get(ctx.channel_id, None):
    return

[glacial echo]

weird

it errored but still sent the mesage

oh do i need to like

.append()

[maiden fable]

No

!d dict.update

[unkempt canyon]

dict.update

update([other])```
Update the dictionary with the key/value pairs from *other*, overwriting existing keys. Return `None`.

[`update()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict.update "dict.update") accepts either another dictionary object or an iterable of key/value pairs (as tuples or other iterables of length two). If keyword arguments are specified, the dictionary is then updated with those key/value pairs: `d.update(red=1, blue=2)`.

[boreal ravine]

yes

[boreal ravine]

append could be better because they're modifying a list inside of a dict

[boreal ravine]

@glacial echo

add that to your code

[glacial echo]

ok but

if the channel isnt a key it needs to become a key

[maiden fable]

My bad, sorry

[boreal ravine]

then make it a key

[glacial echo]

async def joinGame(ctx: interactions.CommandContext):
  #await ctx.message.delete()
  if ctx.channel_id in client.players == False:
    client.players[ctx.channel_id] = []
  if ctx.author.id in client.players[ctx.channel_id]:
    await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author}, you are already in the game, no need to join twice.')
  else:
    await ctx.send(f'<@{ctx.author.id}> has joined the round!')
    client.players[ctx.channel_id].append(ctx.author.id)
    print(client.players[ctx.channel_id])

[slate swan]

how would the first if statement even work

!e

if 1 in {1: False} == False:  print("Yep")

[unkempt canyon]

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

[No output]

[glacial echo]

!e

if 1 in {2: False} == False: print("Yep")

[unkempt canyon]

@glacial echo :warning: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

[No output]

[glacial echo]

hmm

idk

[maiden fable]

U need True

[glacial echo]

slight issue

[maiden fable]

Hm?

[glacial echo]

whatever datatype its getting, it sure as hell isnt a unique user id that is getting stored away anywhere

[maiden fable]

Show code

[glacial echo]

async def joinGame(ctx: interactions.CommandContext):
  #await ctx.message.delete()
  if ctx.channel_id not in client.players:
    client.players[ctx.channel_id] = []
  if ctx.author.id in client.players[ctx.channel_id]:
    await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author}, you are already in the game, no need to join twice.')
  else:
    await ctx.send(f'<@{ctx.author.id}> has joined the round!')
    client.players[ctx.channel_id].append(ctx.author.id)
    print(client.players)

[slate swan]

what?

[maiden fable]

So, uhhh, what's the issue here?

[glacial echo]

here i ran /join_game twice in a row as the same user in the same channel

[maiden fable]

Ah

[glacial echo]

it has created a new "channel" key

[maiden fable]

Can u print the dict?

client.players

[glacial echo]

thats uh

literally what the output is

those arent errors in teh ss

[maiden fable]

What the fuck

Which module u using?

[glacial echo]

https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/context.html#event-context

[maiden fable]

That's why

Stop using that lib and instead either use dpy master version or a fork like nextcord, disnake

[slate swan]

use main!

[glacial echo]

god dammit

so i have to rewrite?

[maiden fable]

Some part, yup

[slate swan]

or disnake which you dont really need to do a rewrite

[maiden fable]

The module u r using rn has fucked up big time

[glacial echo]

and also the dpy main thing doesnt have any documentation that i can understand for slash commands

sorry, "interactions"

[maiden fable]

It does

[glacial echo]

it has documentation

[slate swan]

just use disnake and it probably does

[maiden fable]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html

[glacial echo]

I cant understand it

[maiden fable]

Oh haha

Well then u should look into using a fork, like oki suggested

[slate swan]

!pypi disnake | @glacial echo heres docs https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#slash-command and examples https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/tree/master/examples/slash_commands ofc if you dont want to do a rewrite

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.4.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[glacial echo]

yay time to install a third discord api

[slate swan]

atleast the creator wont archive the repo and then say he probably wont comeback and then comeback after 6months of chaos

[glacial echo]

but

i just installed disnake using the pip command they have on the installation page on the docs

[slate swan]

restart your editor

[glacial echo]

true i can do that easy

i really liked how simple that was

and now i might have to rewrite huge chunks of this to make stuff work

comign back to bot dev after a year or two of not touchign teh discord API has been roadblock after roadblock

[slate swan]

Client doesnt support commands, Bot does

[maiden fable]

How tf did it work before tho

[glacial echo]

client = disnake.Client(case_insensitive = True)

ive been using this the whole time

[maiden fable]

U need commands.Bot

[glacial echo]

client = client whatever the fuck

[maiden fable]

How tf did that even work

[slate swan]

...

[glacial echo]

but also it looks like i need to totally rewrite to use slash commands

interactions.py was far more simple than this but eh

[maiden fable]

Okay it's time for me to stop believing in reality anymore

[glacial echo]

ill deal with it and just rewrite i suppose

ugh im stressed and its making me bite my nails again

this whole relearning everythign API realted hurts

[maiden fable]

Do one thing

[sick birch]

You're not alone. Many people were frustrated that they have to re-write everything

[maiden fable]

Change the disnake.Client to commands.Bot after importing commands from disnake.ext

[slate swan]

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="your_desired_bot_prefix", intents=disnake.Intents.default())

@bot.slash_command(name="uwu", description="will totally uwu you")
async def uwuer(inter: disnake.Interaction):
  return await inter.response.send_message("uwu")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print("uwu")
bot.run("your bot token")```

is a small example

[maiden fable]

is a small uwu example

[slate swan]

yes that

[slate swan]

would raise an error

[slate swan]

nice

intents expected Intents class from disnake but got given a discord class

[maiden fable]

Hmm

[slate swan]

whatever uh

[maiden fable]

Wait

[slate swan]

would probably raise something like intents must derive from Intents

[slate swan]

write the whole traceback

[slate swan]

nvm seems like disnake doesnt handle such a thing

it does

[maiden fable]

Also thought the same

[slate swan]

are you using disnake?

[slate swan]

yeps

disnake's Bot and discord's Intents

weird my subclass doesnt raise that error maybe the error gets eaten or it gets set to None

[glacial echo]

mmmmmmm

[maiden fable]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/disnake/state.py#L228-L232

[unkempt canyon]

disnake/state.py lines 228 to 232

if intents is not None:
    if not isinstance(intents, Intents):
        raise TypeError(f"intents parameter must be Intent not {type(intents)!r}")
else:
    intents = Intents.default()```

[maiden fable]

It does check

[slate swan]

why

[glacial echo]

my slash commands dont exist after setting test_guilds=[my_guild]

[slate swan]

sad

[maiden fable]

Czzz discord.py does?

[slate swan]

why

[maiden fable]

Iirc it's guild_ids

[slate swan]

test_guilds is in the bot constructor

[maiden fable]

Sadly idfk, would have been better if Danny allowed inputting the binary operators manually but well 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

why

[maiden fable]

Stop with your whys

discord.gg/dpy exists go ask Danny

[slate swan]

why ask him, when I ask you uwu

[glacial echo]

https://pastebin.com/XE6gZBWQ

my bot no worky

no slash commands exist

[slate swan]

use the guild_only deco

and the decorators are all wrong

you need to do client.slash_command

[boreal ravine]

why ask him

because he made discord.py

[slate swan]

no

[boreal ravine]

did you guys know that discord.py was previously called pydiscord?

[slate swan]

no

[glacial echo]

thank

the fuck

but i GAVE you an argument

the only valid argument that does anything in fact

do i have to specify the allowed values?

do slash commadns not take dynamic values?

@client.slash_command(
  name="start_game",
  description="Start a game from the list."
)
async def startGame(ctx, gameID):
  client.channelGame[ctx.channel.id] = gameID
  print(client.channelGame)
  embedVar = discord.Embed(title=f"The game has begun!", description="", color=0x00ff00)
  embedVar.add_field(name="Score to Beat:", value=client.leadWord + " worth " + str(client.leadWordPoints) + " points from " + str(client.leadPlayer), inline=False)
  embedVar.add_field(name="Next Player: ", value=f"<@{client.players[ctx.channel.id][0]}>", inline=False)
  client.currentEmbed = await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)
  client.currentGameChannel = ctx.channel.id

[maiden fable]

Cz me an idiot and never bothered to look into dark magic, aka, dpy's source

[slate swan]

oof

dpys source isnt that advance you just need to dig into the 5 parent classes of each subclass

[glacial echo]

this is being fucky

[slate swan]

nice

[boreal ravine]

use slate two

[glacial echo]

what

annnyyways

thats an overcomplicated command that doesnt really need a param rn as i have a single game

[boreal ravine]

https://discord.com/__development/link?s=Zi%2Bp0m5q%2BW0BuMBrZ6Fr9oDVwxmEIetFidTuG0QiHuY%3D.eyJ0YXJnZXRCdWlsZE92ZXJyaWRlIjp7ImRpc2NvcmRfd2ViIjp7InR5cGUiOiJicmFuY2giLCJpZCI6InJlZmFjdG9yL2FwcC9zbGF0ZS11cGRhdGUifX0sInJlbGVhc2VDaGFubmVsIjpudWxsLCJ2YWxpZEZvclVzZXJJZHMiOltdLCJhbGxvd0xvZ2dlZE91dCI6ZmFsc2UsImV4cGlyZXNBdCI6IlRodSwgMDcgQXByIDIwMjIgMDk6NDY6MTQgR01UIn0%3D off-topic but new slash command ui

[glacial echo]

annnnyways part 2: electric booglaoo

the mebed is sent but then cant be edited?

fancy

thanks for that

[slate swan]

currentembed is None

[slate swan]

if you know its off topic why send it in the first place?

[glacial echo]

off-topic but relevant

as im working with slash commands and that makes slash commadns lok better

[boreal ravine]

[glacial echo]

and makes it visually behave as expected

[glacial echo]

how make not none

[slate swan]

thats like saying how to make a carrot an apple

i dont know i havent seen your code

[glacial echo]

https://pastebin.com/XE6gZBWQ

[inner epoch]

Is it possible increase font size of footer of embed?

[boreal ravine]

No

[slate swan]

afaik no, you can make it bold

can you?

[boreal ravine]

No

[inner epoch]

Oo thats bad....

[boreal ravine]

it doesn't support flavored markfown

only normal text/emojis

[slate swan]

smh

[inner epoch]

Umm Ig I can let me try that

What I want exactly is a title of embed then a image and then some text

[boreal ravine]

[inner epoch]

If I try adding field it gets added above the image so I thought to go with footer

[glacial echo]

is the text dynamic

[inner epoch]

Naah

[glacial echo]

make it part of the image

[inner epoch]

Ill be adding a functionality soon to edit it too so that will create problem

[glacial echo]

dynamic image generation

[inner epoch]

Yea....I can do that!!PIL

[glacial echo]

ugh making the embed and user lists channel specific has caused issues

i now have to make all client variables channel tracking dictionaries or the points system breaks again

welp im callign it a night

[inner epoch]

Aha night man!!Have a good one

[glacial echo]

gonna update my trello and shut down

[boreal ravine]

What shoupd I call my yggdrasil copy?

[maiden fable]

Totally Not A yggdrasil Twin

[maiden fable]

U know u should do everything step by step and tryna doing it all at once is just gonna frustrate u more 👀

[slate swan]

not yggdrasil

[boreal ravine]

thats actually a great idea

[slate swan]

like literally what i said btw

[boreal ravine]

thanks okimii

[lone torrent]

#include <iostream.h>

[glacial echo]

yes im awate

this is step by step

i just have ADHD so i am very scatterbrained

and also originally i didnt realise id need to make every client variable a channel tracking dict, but thats trivial at this point

[slate swan]

me when I had to shift my bot from dpy to disnake 😔

[maiden fable]

Not many changes

[maiden fable]

w o w, never did that much for bots

[glacial echo]

its not too frustrating now that i got everythign smoothed over as now its a few minor bumps and not just a fuckign cliff

[glacial echo]

?

[slate swan]

jhbhjioferwgege

[maiden fable]

Just had a rough picture of what I need, in my mind that's it

[glacial echo]

the trello is to keep myself organized and allow my teacher to see my progress

[slate swan]

nvm

[maiden fable]

You would still need to do those to shift to dpy 2.0

[glacial echo]

also making a new card directly in the completed tab to make myself fee laccomplished becasue i solved a problem that came up

[maiden fable]

Cool

[slate swan]

well

[maiden fable]

Can't argue with that

[slate swan]

not in the mood really

[glacial echo]

gott asay

disnake dev is pog, they actually wrote documentation and logical methods for writing slash commands

[maiden fable]

Hahaha

[glacial echo]

this was so painless once i figured out how to not be stupi

[maiden fable]

Cool

[glacial echo]

ohhh this is nice
