[slate swan]

how is that not readable to you?

[vocal plover]

If you go work for someone and you produce code using your methodology I guarantee they won't like you

[slate swan]

Useless argument?

[slate swan]

Well the first one could be really hard if there's just a lot of variables and math. Better to make it easy.

[vocal plover]

Nobody wants to do code review where they have to spend half the time trying to understand the flow of your program because it's a mess, before even starting on logic

[slate swan]

they wont like you either if you over do everything.

[vocal plover]

see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf-BqAjZb8M

[tough lance]

Not useless but outside the scope of this channel

[slate swan]

Nah its related to syntax

[solid summit]

I think we should stick with the channel's theme here, it's getting out of hand xd

[cosmic agate]

ok im back

guys can u tell a good 24/7 hosting service?

[slate swan]

Alright

[slate swan]

• 1

im not sure why you guys call this an "argument" when we are having a civilized conversation

[cosmic agate]

except replit with uptimerobot

[solid summit]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

That's not a hosting service

[cosmic agate]

im porr

[slate swan]

There aren't any free ones.

beggars cant be choosers

[tough lance]

Aws free trial

[cosmic agate]

if u use keep alive, then yes its a hosting service

[solid summit]

AWS might do I guess

[cosmic agate]

i tried heroku, but a weird issue

[slate swan]

Nah, it just pings your repl, that's not a hosting service.

[cosmic agate]

epik host is gone

[cosmic agate]

it keeps the bot alive 24/7

[slate swan]

Lol

[slate swan]

keep alive isnt even for hosting its used to keep a connection alive

[solid summit]

wut

[slate swan]

Sure, but it isn't a hosting service.

[cosmic agate]

nvm

[slate swan]

I didnt print..

[cosmic agate]

can anyone give?

[ivory cave]

this is actually so useful i love it, thanks a lot @slate swan

<3

[slate swan]

What

[cosmic agate]

?

[slate swan]

👍

[slate swan]

Self hosting is free tho

[cosmic agate]

but it aint 24/7

[slate swan]

Overreacted

rpi is good as well

[slate swan]

It can be, just don't shut your computer down

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

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

[slate swan]

the bottom lines is my ban cmnds, they dont work for some reason

[tough lance]

Aws free trial

[ivory cave]

no its just, ive always wondered how people send such good looking code like that , never knew discord legit has a method made specifically for sending code

[cosmic agate]

👀

[slate swan]

hes just being polite whats wrong with that

[slate swan]

What

[cosmic agate]

i dont have credit card

[slate swan]

Many possibilities

[cosmic agate]

what what

[slate swan]

Why eyes

[cosmic agate]

why not?

[slate swan]

im not sure why you guys are overreacting over someone who i helped is grateful?

[slate swan]

It's wierd

Maybe the member role is higher or is administrator

[cosmic agate]

why is it weird?

[slate swan]

it isnt ;-;

Check ur bot perms

[tough lance]

Firstly you don't know difference between client and Bot, and for your issue your on_message event isn't processing commands

[slate swan]

Use try except and try getting error

Exception

Ig

[slate swan]

sorry

[slate swan]

Add await client.process_commands(message)

i stopped reviewing the code when i saw format and f strings in the same snippet

where in the code @slate swan

[slate swan]

listen!

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.10)").

Example...

[slate swan]

It was a client.event he had

[vale wing]

You still pay for electricity lol

[tough lance]

Wah here we go again

[slate swan]

im so new to python idk what you mean man

isn't that a felony?

[pliant gulch]

Because it totally makes sense to commit a crime just to host a discord bot

[vale wing]

Make a server of some old computer parts, install ubuntu on it and enjoy

Personally I am gonna do that when I get time

😏

[tough lance]

Or just buy a raspberry pi

[solid summit]

Rule 5 screams in pain

[vale wing]

Why buy something when you already have

[solid summit]

Why not have more

[vale wing]

Power

[pliant gulch]

Raspberry Pi and your own server costs more in the end compared to a cheap monthly VPS, but regardless they are fun projects

[slate swan]

Takes space

[tough lance]

Btw most people just give up on discord bot coding later so I don't it is a good idea to invest.

[solid summit]

That thing about the rule was a joke no need to delete it haha

[slate swan]

I don't want to get banned 🤷‍♂️

[solid summit]

wdym?

[vale wing]

People barely monetize them

[cosmic agate]

pretty good idea, i have a netbook lying around, might get that started up

[vale wing]

I could have done that if stripe wasn't banned in Russia

[solid summit]

Most people do it for fun and it's a pretty good learning method

[vale wing]

Yes

[solid summit]

I started learning dbs because of my bot xd

[tough lance]

It isn't, as far as my experience is concerned

[vale wing]

I even learned docker (almost)

Fully agreed that the bot dev gives a lot of knowledge

[solid summit]

I don't mean it for beginners but it's a good way of giving a good use to the things you learn

[tough lance]

Ya

Not for beginners

[vale wing]

I am now like at level of PCPP-1

[tough lance]

I made the same mistake so ik that

[solid summit]

It worked great for me when attempting to learn asyncio bases

[slate swan]

What worked great

[tough lance]

Learning python with discord.py

[slate swan]

That's not good

[solid summit]

It's a good way of undertanding what you learnt

Might not work for everyone tho

[tough lance]

Especially beginners

[narrow grail]

what's the attribute for give role?

[vale wing]

For beginners it won't work at all lmao

[solid summit]

.

[vale wing]

Erm do you mean how to add role?

[narrow grail]

yea

[vale wing]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

await add_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[narrow grail]

what is atomic?

[vale wing]

Always wondered what atomic param does

Ig when it's true all roles are added within one API call

[tough lance]

Atomic bomb dunno

[bleak karma]

help?

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: __call__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'context'```

why does this show up? what causes it?

[placid skiff]

it's not an attribute, it's a method
Learn the difference, attributes are characteristic or properties of a class, most likely are class variables, methods are function that specifies actions of a class

[slate swan]

Whether to atomically add roles. This will ensure that multiple operations will always be applied regardless of the current state of the cache.

[delicate hornet]

is permission.value the value of permission int?

[spark sentinel]

context = "your text"

[pliant gulch]

Atomic operations are just operations that run independent of any other processes

[spark sentinel]

u use this for what ?

[pliant gulch]

This is a more general programming term, not specific to discord.py

[tough lance]

Either you didn't add self Param in a command in a cog or you missed ctx outside the cog

[narrow grail]

that's what I meant

[narrow grail]

ok

thx

[vale wing]

Oh thx finally someone explained it in a normal way

[pliant gulch]

You learn most of this basic stuff in computer science or something

[bleak karma]

i see ill check

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Ember.colour

[tough lance]

It's the same

[bleak karma]

thats not the error though

[tough lance]

Srry but I was a bio student...

[vale wing]

I am a self learner so uh I might not know something that is given in standard learning programs

[placid skiff]

well it is, the attribute name is colour not color

[spark sentinel]

embed.color = ...
dosen`t exist
embed = discord.Embed(description = "text", color=0x2f3235)

[pliant gulch]

But I have somewhat of a vast background in computer science

[vale wing]

I am literally a musician k

[tough lance]

I just started from biology and planning to become a biomedical engineer

[spark sentinel]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") for you.

Changed in version 2.0: `Embed.Empty` has been removed in favour of `None`.

[bleak karma]

i mean it sent the embed how i wanted it to be soo

but that isnt whats causing the error isnt it

[vale wing]

It is better to provide description and color in the constructor

[pliant gulch]

Nice, you’d benefit from learning some immunology

[slate swan]

hi, from where can i learn discord.py?

[tough lance]

It should be because you have same var for your view and your command

[vale wing]

This is a good tutorial https://vcokltfre.dev

After you finish it you can just explore through docs when you need something

[tough lance]

async def role(ctx):
    view = role()

[vale wing]

Ah yes

[bleak karma]

oh

[vale wing]

Nice recursion

[bleak karma]

i see lemme change that rq

[bleak karma]

it is indeed, thank you so much

[slate swan]

hi

@bot.command()
async def пред(ctx, member: discord.Member = None, *, reason = None):
    print(45)
    cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS warning(guild BIGINT, userid BIGINT, warn INT, count INT, reasons VARCHAR);""")
    base.commit()
    print(1)

    if member is None:
        await ctx.send("Выберите участника")
        return
        
    if reason is None:

       base.commit()
        await ctx.send(f"**{member}** Выдал предупреждение {ctx.author.name} , причина {reason}.")    

not working. Nothing output excepting 45 and 1, why?

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="pls ")

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    print("pong")

``` it doesnt do anything

doesnt give any errors or output

[delicate hornet]

that event fires once a member joins
maybe a member doesnt join

[slate swan]

no it does

I am sure cuz Im joining with an alt account

[delicate hornet]

is the bot also in the same server?

[slate swan]

yeah

[idle laurel]

is there a way i can get my discord bot to message a user privatly when a criteria is met inside a database?

[slate swan]

use tasks

to see if criteria is met

its in discord.ext

import from here and use it like

[delicate hornet]

yes

[idle laurel]

i can sort the criteria being met side, but how do i keep it looping kinda like a listener but not listening for a command

[slate swan]

@tasks.loop(seconds=60)
async def blabla():
  ...
blabla.start()

[idle laurel]

ahh sound one

perfect

[slate swan]

any idea?

[idle laurel]

try async def on_member_join():

no different like, but im using the same func and it works fine thats weird

[south jetty]

sorry can someone send the docs on renaming channels
cant seem to find it

[quick gust]

on member join needs an argument

[tawdry perch]

!d discord.TextChannel.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.edit

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

Edits the channel.

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

Changed in version 1.3: The `overwrites` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 1.4: The `type` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited channel is returned instead...

[hollow carbon]

can someone teach me how to see python API

[final iron]

What python API?

[narrow grail]

how to delete a command message?

and now?

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.message returns a Message object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.message

The message that triggered the command being executed.

[final iron]

You can then delete it with

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you need the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[narrow grail]

not with ctx

[final iron]

You said command message

[narrow grail]

a command is ctx

[final iron]

Yes

Don't see where the issue is

[narrow grail]

it says, that ctx has no attribute "delete"

I tried ctx.delete()

[final iron]

Yeah you don't do that

[hollow carbon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_guild_join i type wrong

[final iron]

You need a message object

[slate swan]

my on_member_join event doesnt work guys, I didnt understand why

[tidal hawk]

How can I insert a hyperlink into embe

so "link" contains some kind of a link'

[cold sonnet]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[cold sonnet]

the same way you'd do in python

[tidal hawk]

got it

[cold sonnet]

nice

[tidal hawk]

Didn't know how to make it python aswell

Thought it's a html thing xd

[cold sonnet]

nah

[slate swan]

it is though

the discord client runs in html

[tidal hawk]

.

[slate swan]

?

[tidal hawk]

😔

[tough lance]

It's technically the truth

[junior verge]

Is it possible in dpy to have a command name like 8ball in cogs with a number like 8ball

[quaint epoch]

yes

[junior verge]

How?

[slate swan]

just create the command as you would do for any other

@commands.command(name='8ball')
async def roll(foo, bar):```

[proud fiber]

How to make a snake game on python?

[slate swan]

you can't name your function 8ball because python functions must start with a letter or an underscore

[jolly geyser]

what is the second part of discord bot token?

[river swift]

nad amas

[junior verge]

Not in the aliases too?

[jolly geyser]

first one is utf 8

but what is second

[slate swan]

context has the message attr which returns a message object so just do await ctx.message.delete()

[quaint epoch]

not related to discord-bots

[junior verge]

#game-development

[slate swan]

since the aliases are strings, it's fine for them to be whatever

[junior verge]

so that can be 8ball?

[slate swan]

what?

[proud fiber]

Ok ty

[jolly geyser]

discord bot token

[slate swan]

as long as it's py aliases=['8ball'] sure

[slate swan]

utf-8 is encoding for text files, i don't know what you're talking about

[junior verge]

ah great

thank you

[jolly geyser]

lol now i realized that question is your

[proud fiber]

Lol

[jolly geyser]

discord token have utf 8 code and what is second part of token code?

[slate swan]

no, the first part of the discord token is the ID of the application or user encoded to base64

the second part is an unix epoch used for tokens, also encoded to base64

[jolly geyser]

thank you

[slate swan]

and the third part is HMAC, the cryptographic key that is actually used for authentication

[jolly geyser]

is it possible to encode whole token?

[slate swan]

wdym

[jolly geyser]

in python

[slate swan]

yes, you can use python to encode/decode strings

but i don't know why you would want to do that

[jolly geyser]

i don't want to go to the discord devolper portal every time when i need my bot's token

i want to try to encode it or crack it

[slate swan]

You only need it once

^

[jolly geyser]

yes i know but that token resets almost every time

idk why

[slate swan]

no it doesn't

[brave vessel]

it does now, no?

[jolly geyser]

nah i have one issue with my pc

[slate swan]

It only resets when you press the reset button.

[slate swan]

the token for a bot application?

[slate swan]

No

it only resets when you press the reset button

[jolly geyser]

yes i know but i have one issue

[slate swan]

And it is?

the only discord tokens that reset themselves are used in user authentication

which kind of makes this case suspicious

[brave vessel]

i thought it changed, where once you see the token you can't see it anymore and the only way to get a new token is reset

[slate swan]

no, you can always copy it again

[slate swan]

Well that is true

[slate swan]

Nah

then they changed it in the one month i've been away from pydis

[jolly geyser]

i coded my bot but every day it tells me that token does not exist then i go to the devolper portal and i see that reseted

[slate swan]

I changed like two weeks ago I think

[jolly geyser]

but i don't want to go to the devolper portal every time

[slate swan]

yeah, i see

it is indeed like that now

still, it shouldn't magically reset on it's own

[slate swan]

The bot token still doesn't reset by itself.

[slate swan]

Can you show us the message?

[jolly geyser]

it says like smth like error: repl.it cant find bots TOKEN. please try to add token again or regenerate it

[brave vessel]

you got this token right?

you accessed the token from the Bot section

[slate swan]

that's weird

[jolly geyser]

yea

no, but it's on replit

[slate swan]

if that's the case, you've gotten a warning each time you pushed to github

[jolly geyser]

replit is almost same as github

[slate swan]

so you've been ignoring it

[cold sonnet]

bru

[slate swan]

literally nothing like each other

[slate swan]

Do you have it in like a .env?

[jolly geyser]

yea

[slate swan]

Then it's fine

yeah, it's not because discord is forcing the token to regenerate

[brave vessel]

then how are you reading the token from the env?

[slate swan]

i don't think he actually has it on github

• repl.it doesn't actually support .env files

they get converted into their own environment variables tab thing

[cold sonnet]

try running it from an IDE

[slate swan]

and they're automatically encrypted, and loaded in each container

[jolly geyser]

my mom doesn't allow me github idk why

[cold sonnet]

[slate swan]

don't judge~

[cold sonnet]

I dunno what to say, anyways try running the code from an IDE

[jolly geyser]

ok

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

[jolly geyser]

hmmm

may i dm you my token?

my bots token

[slate swan]

He doesn't have one

[jolly geyser]

yea

[slate swan]

Yeah, but then he said replit and replit doesn't support that.

[jolly geyser]

i don't have env file because replit does not allow that anymore, but they made env module called secrets and when you click secrets you add name and value

[slate swan]

That works too

[jolly geyser]

no

devolper portal regenartes it

[slate swan]

If that's true, you might want to contact discord support.

[jolly geyser]

my mom does not allow me that

[slate swan]

._.

[jolly geyser]

because they are big company and they are busy and these things

she says that

[slate swan]

Well, you do have a quite big problem.

[jolly geyser]

13

[dull terrace]

anyone know what characters are disallowed in guild names?

[jolly geyser]

idk sorry

[slate swan]

You could ask in replit official discord server.

[jolly geyser]

but i just want to know how to get my bot's token with python

i just want faster way

[slate swan]

Yeah, but this doesn't seem like a python problem.

[jolly geyser]

ik

[dull terrace]

i have a long string with guild names in which is split

so user input so whatever characters i split by better not be in a guild name

[slate swan]

Hm?

[dull terrace]

string is something like "guild_nameSPLITSTRINGscore"

so if someone changes their guild name to something like

sadfgsdSPLITSTRINGscore

try except wouldn't stop exploit

[slate swan]

Sorry, didn't understand your question

[dull terrace]

yeah thats why im asking

what characters are disallowed

the string is "guildname<my string>score"

fuck

[tidal hawk]

Why is it so that my bot slash commands doesn't appear on some servers

Like it doesn't show in 1/2 servers

[bitter perch]

do all of those servers have your bot with the application_commands scope

[tidal hawk]

Yeah I have like 15 total commands and 14 of tem are only showing ** in my server**, but in other servers all are being shown

[dull terrace]

Slash commands are finicky from what i hear, new ones take a while to show up sometimes

[sick birch]

They can take up to an hour yes

For global ones that is, guild specific ones are instant

[tidal hawk]

Yeah, it's just funny that it's in every other server, instead of mine xD

[sick birch]

If its global its probably just bad luck and you’ll have to give it some time to propagate fully

[tidal hawk]

Okay

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") for you.

Changed in version 2.0: `Embed.Empty` has been removed in favour of `None`.

Hey so switching from discord.py to discord.py 2.0 got me some errors:

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'BotBase.add_cog' was never awaited
bot.add_cog(help_cog(bot))
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

Any fix? Don't really know why cogs have to be awaited now

[cold sonnet]

make the setup function an async function

and await the add_cog

[hybrid mural]

which setup function are you referring to? Hold on ill send the code

[river swift]

ÑÑÑÑÑ

there's a setup function under that cog

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command

class discord.ext.commands.Command(*args, **kwargs)```
A class that implements the protocol for a bot text command.

These are not created manually, instead they are created via the decorator or functional interface.

[river swift]

thx

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.command

@discord.ext.commands.command(name=..., cls=..., **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or if called with [`group()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.group "discord.ext.commands.group"), [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group").

By default the `help` attribute is received automatically from the docstring of the function and is cleaned up with the use of `inspect.cleandoc`. If the docstring is `bytes`, then it is decoded into [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") using utf-8 encoding.

All checks added using the [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") & co. decorators are added into the function. There is no way to supply your own checks through this decorator.

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command

@command(*args, **kwargs)```
A shortcut decorator that invokes [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.command "discord.ext.commands.command") and adds it to the internal command list via [`add_command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.add_command "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.add_command").

[cold sonnet]

where's your bot.add_cog?

[hybrid mural]

you mean the def init

[cold sonnet]

no

[hybrid mural]

its in main.py

[cold sonnet]

a setup function

show what you have under that cog

everybody uses a setup function under the cog

[river swift]

What library do you recommend me to install in replit?

[hybrid mural]

bot.remove_command('help')

bot.add_cog(help_cog(bot))
bot.add_cog(music_cog(bot))

@tasks.loop(minutes=10)
async def every_10_min():

[cold sonnet]

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Cog(bot))
```looks smth like this

[hybrid mural]

Ah so an extra setup function has to be added?

[cold sonnet]

it's what the docs teach you

and is the easiest

[hybrid mural]

Also how do you put messages in this type of format

[cold sonnet]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[hybrid mural]

ah ty ill try the setup function wasnt needed in the old discord.py

[cold sonnet]

still everybody used it 😦

[river swift]

What library do you recommend me to install in replit?

[cold sonnet]

replitn't

[cold sonnet]

though this is the stable version of dpy setup function

make sure to put it in the cog file, being async and use bot.load_extension in main.py in some way

[hybrid mural]

Yeah it works now

Onto the next thing, I guess something changed with loops aswell? I have to await some kind of loop now

[cold sonnet]

when using bot.loop to play music, innit

[hybrid mural]

Nah its the kind of loop that sends something in a specific channel every 10 minutes

[cold sonnet]

oh tasks.loop

[hybrid mural]

yup that one

[cold sonnet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hybrid mural]

ill send the error

[cold sonnet]

that would help both of us

[river swift]

?

[cold sonnet]

no

[slate swan]

or just discord

discord is just a mirror package for discord.py so yea that works too

[slate swan]

await the coro oki

[slate swan]

example on the error

[slate swan]

nice

[hybrid mural]

im sorry im transitioning from C# to python , whats a coro in that case?

coroutine i assume

[slate swan]

a coro/coroutine is an async function

at last

@hybrid mural heres more info https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html

!code

[echo wasp]

    @commands.command(name='Leave')
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_guild=True)

        await asyncio.sleep(1)

[slate swan]

!d asyncio.create_task

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_task

asyncio.create_task(coro, *, name=None)```
Wrap the *coro* [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine) into a [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task "asyncio.Task") and schedule its execution. Return the Task object.

If *name* is not `None`, it is set as the name of the task using [`Task.set_name()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.set_name "asyncio.Task.set_name").

The task is executed in the loop returned by [`get_running_loop()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.get_running_loop "asyncio.get_running_loop"), [`RuntimeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#RuntimeError "RuntimeError") is raised if there is no running loop in current thread.

This function has been **added in Python 3.7**. Prior to Python 3.7, the low-level [`asyncio.ensure_future()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-future.html#asyncio.ensure_future "asyncio.ensure_future") function can be used instead...

[idle laurel]

when im running a task loop how can i send a message direct to a user? usually i used ctx.author.send(embed=embed) but i dont have ctx in the function args

[slate swan]

make a custom check

[echo wasp]

explain or docs?

[slate swan]

you need to fetch/get the user and use the send method

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

@check```
A decorator that adds a global check to the bot.

A global check is similar to a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every command the bot has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check"), this takes a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") and can only raise exceptions inherited from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError").

Example...

[idle laurel]

if ive got the user id in a "user" variable can i just do user.send

[echo wasp]

bingo

[idle laurel]

sound cheers

[slate swan]

no, since, that is an integer

[hybrid mural]

i assume i have to call the async function with await every time

[slate swan]

needs to be a member or user obj

[slate swan]

that is so

[slate swan]

right

pfftt uploading on pypi for the first time is a hell of work 😔

[hybrid mural]

so now because i cant await outside a function i have to do an async setup function

[slate swan]

no?

[slate swan]

lol, I got import errors cz I specified my paths wrong

[idle laurel]

im storing the users id in a database linking it with other info, if the criteria is met for that person im trying to send them a private dm. whats the best way? im a little confused

[slate swan]

new setup function in 2.0 is async fyi

[slate swan]

relative imports

[echo wasp]

may i see an example for my senario?

[slate swan]

no the one you do after installing the package

[slate swan]

wait i gaved you wrong docs oops

[slate swan]

AHHH you need an init file

[hybrid mural]

what do you mean?

[slate swan]

no xD, when I did pip install I wanted from DscPyDB import LevelDB but it came out to be from db import level_db because I mentioned paths wrong but fixed it eventually, now it works

@discord.ext.commands.check_any(*checks)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if any of the checks passed will pass, i.e. using logical OR.

If all checks fail then [`CheckAnyFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckAnyFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckAnyFailure") is raised to signal the failure. It inherits from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Note

The `predicate` attribute for this function **is** a coroutine.

New in version 1.3.

yes

[austere herald]

Hey, I'm a little bit curious

How would I do a wait_for event for voice?

[quaint scaffold]

Yes as long as the view is not stopped.

[austere herald]

I want something a little like this

[echo wasp]

may i have an example to check if the person running the command is myself if not has manage_guild perms?

[austere herald]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLDPDbtccT0

[hybrid mural]

And is it possible to format Buttons in a specific way lets say... TIC TAC TOE? (and send it ofcrs)

[austere herald]

I'm on the latest discord.py 2.0 with app_commands, having switched from a fork

[slate swan]

just subclass view and make the components

[spring flax]

you mean if the user invoking the command either is you or has manage guild, it'll work?

[hybrid mural]

Interesting can i have a read up on that?

[slate swan]

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

br

[slate swan]

pfftt, this is the least of my worries I swear I forgot about asyncio.run before I published

[spring cape]

Does anyone know if there is a payload.member alternative but for ctx?

[slate swan]

ctx.author ?

[slate swan]

and you should make base exceptions if youre gonna raise them so you wont raise Exception but a base exception

[echo wasp]

yes

[spring cape]

I'll try it, thanks!

[spring flax]

@commands.check_any(commands.is_owner(), commands.has_guild_permissions(manage_guild=True)

@slate swan have you got anything on the black formatter?

[hybrid mural]

thank you dearly kind sir this will help me perfectly

[slate swan]

oh ill make a whole txt file for you

[slate swan]

im gonna check black docs give me a sec

[echo wasp]

may i see the docs for commands.is_owner()?

[slate swan]

dw ill just delete the package tomorrow :)

[slate swan]

my pleasure

[slate swan]

let me contribute to it atleast

sure

its a good idea you just need to fix some stuff

[spring flax]

!d discord.ext.commands.is_owner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.is\_owner

@discord.ext.commands.is_owner()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that checks if the person invoking this command is the owner of the bot.

This is powered by [`Bot.is_owner()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner").

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

[slate swan]

@spring flax maybe this can help https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage_and_configuration/the_basics.html#as-a-string

[hybrid mural]

@slate swan excuse me ill try to understand the whole code so i can atleast learn from it, what does ```py
super().init(style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, label='\u200b', row=y)

mean exactly

[echo wasp]

and where do i define my id?

[slate swan]

f-fix them and make a pr pleeeeaaaaseee

[hybrid mural]

I see the super(). thingy the first time

[slate swan]

you just make the code a string and it formats it and you just return the new ver of code

[slate swan]

ok

tysm

[spring flax]

commands.Bot has an owner_id kwarg, which takes in an int.

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

[slate swan]

super() creates a instance of the parent class and it accesses any method from it or attrs

[hybrid mural]

Oh ok ty

[slate swan]

in this case it accesses the parents class initiate

[echo wasp]

this thing ```py
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='%', intents=intents, owner_id=786788350160797706, Help_command=None, case_insensitive=True)

[spring flax]

I can't find anything but i did see this there

Does Black have an API?
Not yet. Black is fundamentally a command line tool. Many integrations are provided, but a Python interface is not one of them. A simple API is being planned though.

[spring flax]

it's help_command, not Help_command. And also I suggest changing the variable client to bot.

[echo wasp]

lol i do

[slate swan]

how did you not found anything there? you can just run a command with os and make it format the string ver of the snippet

[idle laurel]

How can i send a embed privately with knowing the user id inside a task? usually im doing ctx.send but ive not got ctx in the args able to use

[spring flax]

can you give an example?

[slate swan]

let me make one give me a sec

[cloud dawn]

Super is kinda like coding in creative mode

[hybrid mural]

@slate swan is this TicTacToe you sent me really the easiest ? Wouldnt it be easier to just send the buttons formatted and if the top left button gets pressed it gets changed to an X or O button depending on what player it is while after the button has been clicked theres a function that checks if theres a win or tie on any player side?

Thats atleast how i imagined i'd code it

[slate swan]

__import__("os").system(f"black --code {'print ("hello world")'}")

something like this ig

[slate swan]

well its just an example so i doubt it idk

[slate swan]

its like being in creative mode and opening your inventory in mc

[hybrid mural]

Well the only thing im stuck on is the formatting after i have that i'd probably be able to do it

[slate swan]

formatting like?

[spring flax]

what is that syntax?

after --code

[hybrid mural]

Lets say blank Buttons Formatted to this:

🔳 🔳 🔳
🔳 🔳 🔳
🔳 🔳 🔳

basically

[slate swan]

ah its just the command you are gonna add which the way black does it is black --code # code goes here

[slate swan]

ah

[hybrid mural]

and then theres the problem with ctx.send(components) you cant really have more than 5 buttons in a message i think

[slate swan]

nah its 26 iirc

[hybrid mural]

ignoring the fact you cant add rows to it

[hybrid mural]

oh ok thats an upgrade

[manic wing]

25

[hybrid mural]

But then adding the buttons to the components i cant really format it in any way

[manic wing]

invalid syntax

[spring flax]

operable program or batch file.

[slate swan]

mhm

[quick gust]

i didnt read full convo but try -python -m black

[spring flax]

'-python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

[pliant gulch]

python without a dash

Make sure it's installed

Black that is, ^

[spring flax]

yeah did pip install black

[quick gust]

yeah that mb

[pliant gulch]

Ok, then python -m black ./ should work fine

[velvet compass]

Also give it a file or directory to run on. Like black . to run on the current directory, or black test.py to only do that file

(also a bit off topic for this channel, sorry about that)

[spring flax]

for a command i want it to format

[pliant gulch]

If your following a specific guideline that sets line length, you can also set the --line-length flag

[manic wing]

thats not the reason it would be undefined

[spring flax]

i want to do ;format [code] and it formats it

[velvet compass]

Oh, I missed the context

[spring flax]

i'm not completely familiar with this but would stringIO work?

[echo wasp]

How to make a good help command that is not hard coded?

[pliant gulch]

Just call black with the -c flag

python -m black -c "code here"

[spring flax]

i have __import__("os").system(f"python -m black --code {'embed = disnake.Embed(title=title, description=description, timestamp=timestamp'}")

[pliant gulch]

Oh ok

[spring flax]

it's the same right?

[crisp cape]

new to the server so forgive me if this isn't quite on topic but google has failed me.

I understand you can connect your github account to your discord account. Is there some form of automation that exists that will give a discord user a role if their github account is connected to their discord account?

[pliant gulch]

Yep, --code is just the human readable

[manic wing]

you know that f-string does nothing right?

[spring flax]

it raises ```Usage: python -m black [OPTIONS] SRC ...
Try 'python -m black -h' for help.

Error: Invalid value for 'SRC ...': Path '=' does not exist.```

[hybrid mural]

ahh @slate swan i found a fix i didnt know discord.ui.buttons now had a "row=" parameter which helps identify

[echo wasp]

how to make a help command that is not hard coded???

[spring flax]

read pins

[south jetty]

help

[slate swan]

didnt dpy end?

[halcyon sparrow]

It was recuntinued a while ago

[jade jolt]

When?

[slate swan]

how do i implement slash commands?

[halcyon sparrow]

Checkout the links in the channel description

[hybrid mural]

Did dpy 2.0 change something about components? I cant add components anymore:

TypeError: Messageable.send() got an unexpected keyword argument 'components'

[junior verge]

What perms would be good enough for a giveaway like how high

[slate swan]

Well, normaly you use views.

[slate swan]

Make a new_name argument, and then pass into the name argument.

[slate swan]

There are multiple ways.

Hm?

[slate swan]

can you send me the most simple one please.

[slate swan]

Are you using d.py? Or some fork?

dpy

[slate swan]

D.py still don't really haven't implemented it, it's a 2.0 feature.

How do I get 2.0

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

[hybrid mural]

is there somewhere i can look up view on ?

[south jetty]

why did it put the there

[slate swan]

Why did you?

[south jetty]

sorry I mean why did it not put there since I typed in hello there

[slate swan]

Explain that agian please

[south jetty]

well, I typed -rename hello there expecting it to rename the channel to #hello-there, but renamed it to hello

[slate swan]

Show your code

[south jetty]

    @commands.command()
    async def rename(self, ctx, new_name):
        await ctx.channel.edit(name = new_name)```

[slate swan]

Do ctx, *, new_name

The * makes it able to have multiple words.

[south jetty]

oh

[hybrid mural]

Command raised an exception: TypeError: expected Item not <class 'function'>
``` Wut Wrong

i get it

i need to use

discord.ui.Item add the button as an item and then

[slate swan]

Wasn't that what you did?

[hybrid mural]

Yeah but the item= only takes "Item" type an button itself isnt an Item Type

i need to first cast the button to an Item

[hoary cargo]

maybe just try to add buttons one at the time, why do you even need 2 loops to add items

[hybrid mural]

ive got 3 rows of 3 elements[list] (referring to tictactoe) each element representing a button

id rather not manually type out all the buttons there are

[slate swan]

it says i do not have git in my path

[slate swan]

Personally I use a fork called pycord, I don't know a lot about d.py 2.0.

What do forks do? I heard about pycord a lot

I am used to the basic orignal dpy

do I have to change the entirity of my code?

[slate swan]

Discord.py was basically shutdown, so a few forks were made, they have the same syntax but with some improvements.

[slate swan]

Nah, nothing.

[slate swan]

Oh rah..
I literally don't need to change anything?

What's the error?

[slate swan]

I mean, instead of pip install discord.py, do pip install py-cord==2.0.0b4.

Done, it installed.

Yes

How do I do slash commands? like implement them to my commands

[slate swan]

You might want to uninstall discord.py and discord.

Uninstall the discord app?

[slate swan]

Nah! pip uninstall discord.

Done

I don't think that works

[slate swan]

Here is a basic example:```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.commands import slash_command

@slash_command()
async def test(self, ctx):
await ctx.respond("test")

from discord.commands import slash_command <--- that has a yellow line under it

should I be worried?

Nah

[slate swan]

Oh, by the way, how do I add the description to the command and name

I heard slash commands could do that

Sten, I have an error.

No module named slash_commands

I apologize,

no module named discord.commands

Well then you haven't install pycord properly.

What do you want to use? Discord.py, pycord, nextcord?

All three have it

import nextcord

Personally I think pycord

Don't import discord

[slate swan]

I havent added import pycord..

should I do that?

[slate swan]

Nah, you should have import discord, pycord have the same syntax as d.py, that's why you needed to uninstall it.

You choose

For pycord, just do import discord.

I have done everything as said, why is it not working? oh and it says in the problems tab that

import "discord.commands" could not be resolved pylance(ReportMissingImports) [3,6]

What's your code?

[slate swan]

all of my bots code?

[slate swan]

Nah, the top where you import stuff

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.commands import slash_command```

You have to uninstall discord and install pycord.

How can i make my discord bot send a list of text? such as

1. sub to my youtube
2. follow my tiktok
3. follow my instagram?

[slate swan]

If what your asking is how to make it go down a line, do \n

[slate swan]

That's basic python: ```py
"""
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
"""

"Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"

alright looks good thanks

[slate swan]

@slate swan

What IDE?

[manic wing]

remember, basic python doesnt stop people from learning :)

discord bots is a beginner friendly place :)

[slate swan]

👍

Like vscode, pycharm.

sten checkout my screenshot

[slate swan]

Yeah, you doesn't seem to be able to install pycord either.

Why can't I install it?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[slate swan]

It's automatically installing discord.py, overriding pycord.

How do I stop that from happening

[slate swan]

What IDE?

vscode

Maybe you should use disnake instead.

Alright, how do I do that

Both

Yes

[slim ibex]

pip3 install disnake

[slate swan]

done

import disnake has a yellow line under it

[slate swan]

Do you know if it's necessary to choose the version, like in pycord: pip install py-cord==2.0.0.b4?

[slim ibex]

no it isn’t

[slate swan]

It's just unused, chance everything that says discord to disnake.

[slate swan]

Change discord to disnake

[slate swan]

Have you used pip to install it?

like disnake.User

[slim ibex]

disnake.ext.commands

[slate swan]

Yes

[slate swan]

I did the thing you sent and the thing that maoi sent

[slate swan]

?

[slim ibex]

you have disnake.commandsthat isn’t a valid thing

[slate swan]

Doesn't disnake have it's documentation here?

like this?

[slim ibex]

you can’t get docs for the whole mf extensions command LOL

[slim ibex]

remove the one importing commands

and remove discord import

[slate swan]

okay

now almost every command has a yellow line under it

also these

and when i run the bot it says no module named disnake

[slim ibex]

replace all discord with disnake

and do you have disnake installed/right interpreter selected

[slate swan]

Or just import disnake as discord

[slim ibex]

no pls no

[slate swan]

that removed a lot of yellow lines but these have yellow lines now

[slate swan]

Yeah, but don't add as discord, it will just get overwritten by discord.py, a bunch of extra truble.

[slate swan]

How do I know that

[slate swan]

pip3 install disnake

already satisfied

[stone beacon]

🗿

[slate swan]

im using python 3.9, is that okay?

Yes

[hybrid mural]

How would you get the Interaction of a button now in dyp 2.0?

Help! How to create a thread in pycord?

[slate swan]

can anyone help me with this error im getting/

[minor totem]

Do you know what's wrong?

[round robin]

nope

i see self there as a argument so idk

[minor totem]

If you look at the code, what do you want to happen and when?

[round robin]

i want it to be able to get the guild id of a view before its added to the message

[slate swan]

anyone know what is wrong?

[round robin]

there is no ctx.channel.send

its just ctx.send

[minor totem]

Yes, you use self, but it isn't defined according to Python. Can you tell me the line where self is defined that you want to use?

[slate swan]

can that be the reason?

[hybrid mural]

What Button command do i have to put in discord.InteractionType() so it registers a button got clicked

[round robin]

idk what that means

[slate swan]

it still wont work.

[minor totem]

Can you please format your code to be readable? I can't read that

[round robin]

well i see no error

[minor totem]

When you wrote that code, where you wrote it, you wanted to use self.guild_id yeah?

[round robin]

yes

[minor totem]

Python is now complaining that it isn't defined, do you think it's (self) defined?

[round robin]

isnt self just something that u have to put into classes

idk how to use it really

i watched a full video on it and i still dont get it

[glass dock]

How to create a thread in pycord?

[round robin]

documentation

[minor totem]

Well, yes, when you're inside a method (a method is a function you defined inside the class)

[glass dock]

This does not work

[slate swan]

Oh wait, it might be that i made a class the same name with the file im importing

[minor totem]

Well, maybe you could link it?

[round robin]

idk where it is

its probably pycord.readthedocs.io or something

1 google search is all it takes

[slate swan]

Nvm it is not.

[minor totem]

You don't need to keep sending the screenshots again, and again. Is this pycord?

[minor totem]

Why say anything then? 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

Yes.

[round robin]

i was just saying that searching for it would be quicker then asking here and it saves everyone time

[minor totem]

Ah, found it! Have you tried this method? https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Message.create_thread

[glass dock]

Yes, but it doesn't work. No error

[minor totem]

Which update are you on?

[slate swan]

Oh wait, i thought pycord was the same as discord.py, i'm on discord.py sorry about that .

[minor totem]

To go back to your issue here, if I understand things correctly, you want code to run when the view is sent with a message? To do this, you tried putting the code inside the class?

[minor totem]

Ah, still, what version? I am trying to look at the source

[minor totem]

Ok

[glass dock]

I do not know why

[slate swan]

I'm on version 1.7.3

[glass dock]

i try await ctx.message.create_public_thread('Thread', auto_archive_duration = 3600)

[cold sonnet]

what are you trying to do here?

I see you have registered a function as an event and command?

[slate swan]

I'm trying to make a command adduser which only i can use to add user IDs to a .txt file.

^^ This is temporary im trying to learn discord.py.

In the feature i will be using MySQL.

[cold sonnet]

okay, and what's app()?

[minor totem]

@glass dock you responded with a statement, just "it didn't work", at which point my response was "Ok'". I am not trying to carry the whole conversation, you can continue the conversation by asking another question, which I can respond to. As always, explain your problem and I'll explain the answer.

[minor totem]

Do you have an error handler?

[glass dock]

nope

[slate swan]

My configuration function.

[cold sonnet]

okay, well, you don't need that to define a command

[minor totem]

So- you run this, and it runs the code, but no thread is created? Add prints before and after the line of code, so that you know that it worked!

[slate swan]

!status

i need the self.client to.

[cold sonnet]

and the Commands class should be a cog I guess?

[slate swan]

right.

I'm storing the actual commands in other files.

[glass dock]

No error and action

[slate swan]

to make it look cleaner.

[minor totem]

I think I get it now! Your decorators are in the wrong order.

[glass dock]

I tried to add, the first one works, the second one doesn't.

[cold sonnet]

actually, you define commands as @commands.command() in a cog

and you have to subclass commands.Cog, not just make a class

[hybrid mural]

        interaction = discord.Interaction(type=discord.ComponentType(discord.Button(data=discord.ui.Button)))

Im trying to catch a Button Interaction i just dont know what the syntax for discord.Interaction is ive read docs im lost though

[minor totem]

Try adding a try/except over it, and print the exception.

try:
    ...
except Exception as e:
    print('ran into', repr(e))

[minor totem]

You want to wait for an interaction inside of your code?

[hybrid mural]

yeah

basically i send buttons,
user clicks one,
then i catch the Interaction

[minor totem]

Do you not want to use views?

[hybrid mural]

i did use views

[minor totem]

Then you should have the interaction inside of the button callbacks

[glass dock]

TextChannel.create_thread() takes 1 positional argument but 2 positional arguments (and 1 keyword-only argument) were given

[hybrid mural]

how can i access those? this is what i've got so far:

        for i in range(3):
            for j in range(3):
                v.add_item(item=buttons[i][j])
        await ctx.send(view=v)

[minor totem]

🎉 look at that, an error! Do you understand what it means?

[cold sonnet]

kekw

[glass dock]

Yes, but ...

I seem to have done everything right.

[minor totem]

What's so funny?

[cold sonnet]

nothing

[minor totem]

Is buttons a list you have created? Can I see it?

[slate swan]

how do i add a status to my discord bot?

[minor totem]

What framework do you use?

[slate swan]

python

[hybrid mural]

yeah sure 1 sec

[glass dock]

# Setting `Playing ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="a game"))

# Setting `Streaming ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Streaming(name="My Stream", url=my_twitch_url))

# Setting `Listening ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name="a song"))

# Setting `Watching ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="a movie"))   

[minor totem]

Do you see the * at the start? That means something very special, have you seen it before?

[hybrid mural]

buttons = [[None,None,None],[None,None,None],[None,None,None]]

    for i in range(3):
        for j in range(3):
            buttons[i][j] = discord.ui.Button(label="\u200b", row=i, custom_id=("button" + str(i) + "," + str(j)))

[cold sonnet]

okay, you don't look like someone who doesn't know about classes

1. subclass commands.Cog
2. save your bot to self.bot
3. make a command
4. setup function

class Test(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    
    #here, you define commands as @commands.command()
    @commands.command()
    async def test(self, ctx): #don't forget self
        await ctx.send("test")

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Test(bot))

[glass dock]

sorry if i'm doing something wrong

[minor totem]

Ah, I see. What do you want to do with the button? Just know which button was pressed?

[hybrid mural]

basically yeah

[glass dock]

😅

[hybrid mural]

and change it then but that comes after knowing which one got pressed

[minor totem]

You are, but it's okay. I wasn't telling you to add the *, I just want to know whether you know what it means - so that I can explain it to you. Do you understand it?

[cold sonnet]

then load extension in the main file

but there's a documentation about cogs in the api reference

[glass dock]

* ignores spaces in the argument if I'm not mistaken

[slate swan]

i've fixed the issue, but ended up with another one.

It wasn't about classes, it was how i ordered the client.command and @client.event

[cold sonnet]

what

[outer parcel]

does anyone have a quick name idea for discord bot please

[minor totem]

You should probably use the class-way of defining views, are you fine with that? If not, I have some ways we can go around it

[cold sonnet]

bluenix called it and it just doesn't make sense to have an eventcommand for me

[hybrid mural]

tbh i've seen it and i dont really understand it that much it seems a bit too complicated for me

[glass dock]

Perhaps you wanted to do py from discord.ext.commands import Bot
?

[cold sonnet]

that's unnecessary memory usage...

[outer parcel]

anyone please discord bot name

[slate swan]

One more question how do i get a users ID?

[glass dock]

bot

[minor totem]

That's what discord.py uses them for, but they have a different usage in Python. It means keyword-only parameters.

Keyword-only parameters means that when you call the function, you have to specify the parameters by name: ```python
def add(*, a, b):
return a + b

add(1, 2) # Will fail!
add(1, b=2) # Will fail!
add(a=1, b=2) # Will fail!

In your case, you tried to pass the name without doing `name=`. Whenever you read `*` like that, it means that all parameters (the variables with the commas) after it have to be used like this.

[glass dock]

Thank you ❤️

[minor totem]

What happened was that a command was first created and returned instead of the function, then this command was passed to @client.event. By switching the order, first the event is registered and the coroutine is returned untouched, then the command is created.

[minor totem]

Which user? There's many users

[minor totem]

How come? Modules are only ever imported once

[cold sonnet]

so he could just remove the event?

[slate swan]

A user that has any used the command.

[minor totem]

Well, apparently they wanted an event 🤷‍♂️

[minor totem]

ctx.author.id will give you the ID of the person who used the command!

[cold sonnet]

but only specified named events are called 😳

[hybrid mural]

ctx.author.id

[minor totem]

Because what it would allow you to do, is store the button called on the class to use it later. This is more-or-less the only way I can come up with that would make the most sense, let me type out the alternative though

[hybrid mural]

shouldnt you get the button_id anyway?

i mean the custom_id from the buttons

[minor totem]

I am looking here but it doesn't seem like discord.py gives you that information: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction

[hybrid mural]

true

then what does Interaction return after a button gets clicked

better to say is how would i be able to find out what button was clicked with Interaction*

[minor totem]

view = View()

interaction = None
button = None
has_called = False

def create_callback(name):
    async def callback(inter):
        if has_called:
            # If a button has already been called, ignore it
            return

        nonlocal interaction, button, has_called
        interaction = inter
        button = name
        has_called = True
        view.stop()
    return callback

# Now add items with this callback, replace ... with the name you want to use (probably same as custom_id)
discord.ui.Button(label="\u200b", row=i, custom_id=("button" + str(i) + "," + str(j)), callback=create_callback(...))


if await view.wait():
    # The view timed out, meaning that no button was pressed. Handle this somehow

# interaction, button should now be defined to the name you gave the button and interaction it was called with

You could use something like this, as you can tell it's kinda advanced. The class way of doing it would be very verbose though

Since you'd need to repeat the same code for each button. You're sadly working against discord.py, these are the only options I can come up with.

Not a huge fan of the view system all the time, it has its charms but sometimes you just want something lowlevel.

[hybrid mural]

yeah true
