[slate swan]

in a call back you can just send another message with another view

💀

[sonic lintel]

No its still not showing the button now

@bot.command()
async def breathe(ctx: commands.Context):
    """Starts a breathe for pressing."""
    await ctx.send('Confirm to start guided breathing excerise.', view=YesButton(ctx.author))
    time.sleep(5)
    await ctx.reply('Are you in a comfortable position?', view=IamButton())```

[slate swan]

the button isnt in the class

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[slate swan]

and you spelled exercise wrong in the string lmao

[hoary cargo]

just subclass the button

[sonic lintel]

PLS

[slate swan]

what

[sonic lintel]

it is in the class

class YesButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, author: discord.Member) -> None:
        super().__init__()
    # When this button is pressed, it will respond with a Counter view that will
    # give the button presser their own personal button they can press 5 times.
        @discord.ui.button(label='Yes', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
        async def receive(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
            # ephemeral=True makes the message hidden from everyone except the button presser
            await interaction.response.send_message('Start by finding a comfortable postion, either lying on the floor or sitting with your legs crossed.')
            self.stop()```

[slate swan]

its in the class init

[sonic lintel]

Oh so I need to put it before

the init?

[slate swan]

no outside it but in the class

and your other button callback in the other view is outside it aswell

[slate swan]

class YesButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, author: discord.Member) -> None:
        super().__init__()
    # When this button is pressed, it will respond with a Counter view that will
    # give the button presser their own personal button they can press 5 times.
    @discord.ui.button(label='Yes', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def receive(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        # ephemeral=True makes the message hidden from everyone except the button presser
        await interaction.response.send_message('Start by finding a comfortable postion, either lying on the floor or sitting with your legs crossed.')
            self.stop()

like so

[sonic lintel]

yes I can see that now

[slate swan]

[sonic lintel]

I fixed it and the button is there thank you

but how do I make the thread private

to the author

@slate swan its still letting me react to the button more then one time

[slate swan]

which View

[sonic lintel]

both

[slate swan]

you need to stop the view in your method in IamButto class

!d discord.ui.View.stop | with this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.stop

stop()```
Stops listening to interaction events from this view.

This operation cannot be undone.

[sonic lintel]

ok

[slate swan]

and use asyncio.sleep PLS

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

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

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

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

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

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

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[slate swan]

use this. so it wont block your bot

[sonic lintel]

I did

[slate swan]

show

i want to see something

[sonic lintel]

@bot.command()
async def breathe(ctx: commands.Context):
    """Starts a breathe for pressing."""
    await ctx.reply('Confirm to start guided breathing excerise.', view=YesButton(ctx.author))
    asyncio.sleep(5)```

[slate swan]

yup i was correct

you need to await it

its a coroutine

[sonic lintel]

ok

But do you have any idea how to make it so that it can make multiple buttons like how would you actually approach it

for example

a.breathe ( starts the exercise )

and then react to the yes button and then it will ask you something

and then another button will appear

[slate swan]

in the same message?

[sonic lintel]

nope so like

author: a.breathe
bot: Would you like to start a breathing exercise? ( yes button )
author: clicks the yes button
bot: ( bla bla bla )
bot: waits 5 seconds
bot: are you in a comfortable position ( I am button, I am not button )
e.t.c

[slate swan]

what's the difference between [] and () in let's say commands?
isn't it that [] means you have to give an argument, for instance an user and that () is optional?

in what situation exactly?

for instance if i do .userinfo

if i wanna make a usage, i can just put () if it's optional

[slate swan]

just edit the message with a different view

cus if i dont put a user in, it'll give you your own userinfor

[slate swan]

an optional argument?

ye

[sonic lintel]

How do I edit the message?

Did you have an example of how to do it. Im more of a visual learner

[slate swan]

well you can add a empty tuple yes but i prefer to add None

i mean as in usage wise, wait let me get you an example

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_message

await edit_original_message(*, content=..., embeds=..., embed=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

[slate swan]

just add a instance of view

[sonic lintel]

Ill try! thank you!

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

https://tokyotokyotokyotokyo.tokyo/​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​ @slate swan

because some bots use [] as optional and some use ()

[sonic lintel]

Do I do that in the yes button class?

[slate swan]

so idk now which is which

[slate swan]

they probably mean it like a user object

[sonic lintel]

Its not defined

[slate swan]

not like literally making the argument optional with an empty list or tuple

[slate swan]

the method is a method bound to an instance of the interaction class

yeah i got that

ight thanks mate 🤝

[slate swan]

which you have it in your methods params

[sonic lintel]

So why is it not defined then?

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

well i kinda explained it their

[sonic lintel]

class YesButton(discord.ui.View):

    @discord.ui.button(label='Yes', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def receive(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
            # ephemeral=True makes the message hidden from everyone except the button presser
            await interaction.response.send_message('Start by finding a comfortable postion, either lying on the floor or sitting with your legs crossed.')
            self.stop()
            await edit_original_message('Are you in a comfortable position?')

    def __init__(self, author: discord.Member) -> None:
        super().__init__()
    # When this button is pressed, it will respond with a Counter view that will
    # give the button presser their own personal button they can press 5 times.```

[slate swan]

your method receive has interaction in its params, which the method edit_original_message is bound to an instance of the Interaction class so just use the instance of the class thats in your params so it would be await interaction.edit_original_message('Are you in a comfortable position?')

[sonic lintel]

asyncio.sleep(5)

[slate swan]

it only takes one positional argument the class instance and thats all which content is a kwarg hence why * is before all its arguments

[slate swan]

as shown here^

i recommend you learn oop as it can be quite confusing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDa-Z5JzLYM&list=PL-osiE80TeTsqhIuOqKhwlXsIBIdSeYtc

[sonic lintel]

Oh whoops thats the wrong thing

Confused because I did close the bracket

[slate swan]

you dont need the asterisk in the arguments of the method.

[sonic lintel]

ok

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Interaction.author

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Interaction.author

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[sonic lintel]

But when I do it

[slate swan]

this attr returns a member which the member class has that method

[sonic lintel]

The bot does not send the next message and provides an error

Ignoring exception in view <YesButton timeout=180.0 children=1> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> url=None disabled=False label='Yes' emoji=None row=None>:

[slate swan]

you need to use the content kwarg

[slate swan]

as shown here

[sonic lintel]

yes but how would I do that?

[slate swan]

you set the string to the kwarg?

[sonic lintel]

[slate swan]

do you want me to show you how

[sonic lintel]

yes

please

[slate swan]

await interaction.edit_original_message(content='Are you in a comfortable position?')

here we satisfied the content kwarg with a string

[pliant gulch]

!tags positional-keyword

[unkempt canyon]

Positional vs. Keyword arguments

Functions can take two different kinds of arguments. A positional argument is just the object itself. A keyword argument is a name assigned to an object.

Example

>>> print('Hello', 'world!', sep=', ')
Hello, world!

The first two strings 'Hello' and world!' are positional arguments.
The sep=', ' is a keyword argument.

Note
A keyword argument can be passed positionally in some cases.

def sum(a, b=1):
    return a + b

sum(1, b=5)
sum(1, 5) # same as above

Somtimes this is forced, in the case of the pow() function.

The reverse is also true:

>>> def foo(a, b):
...     print(a, b)
...
>>> foo(a=1, b=2)
1 2
>>> foo(b=1, a=2)
2 1

More info
• Keyword only arguments
• Positional only arguments
• !tags param-arg (Parameters vs. Arguments)

[sonic lintel]

thank you!

[slate swan]

[sonic lintel]

But that edits the message

not send a new one?

[slate swan]

then just send a new message

[sonic lintel]

help

how do I do that IN the same class

[sonic lintel]

^

[slate swan]

just send another message with the interaction class instance in your params?

[sonic lintel]

can you show me how to do that to if thats ok

after that I should be able to figure it out by myself

[slate swan]

sure

ok so, rn i have this code:

    @role.group()
    async def create(self, ctx, role : discord.Role):
        await ctx.guild.create_role(name=role)
        await ctx.send(f"role {role.name} has been created")

how do i make it so whenever i just input a random thing it'll create the role named whatever i put in. for instance: ,role create test

[pliant gulch]

Change role's typehint to str

Then in the bottom just do "role role has been created"

[slate swan]

so role: discord.Role = str

[pliant gulch]

: for typehints

[slate swan]

and then instead of role.name just do role

[pliant gulch]

= is to assign

[slate swan]

oh right

[slate swan]

just do await interaction.original_message.send() iirc would be how its done im not sure as discord doesnt have that coroutine in the Interaction class which disnake does

[pliant gulch]

Correct

[slate swan]

so the code would be this then?:

    @role.group()
    async def create(self, ctx, role : discord.Role: str):
        await ctx.guild.create_role(name=role)
        await ctx.send(f"role {role} has been created")

@pliant gulch

[pliant gulch]

No

foo: str, not foo: bar: str

Do you see the issue here

[sonic lintel]

so the code would be this?

    @discord.ui.button(label='Yes', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def receive(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
            # ephemeral=True makes the message hidden from everyone except the button presser
            await interaction.response.send_message('Start by finding a comfortable postion, either lying on the floor or sitting with your legs crossed.')
            await interaction.original_message.send()
            await interaction.edit_original_message(content='Are you in a comfortable position?')
            await interaction.original_message.send()```

[slate swan]

yeah i think so im not sure if InteractionMessage has that method tho

[sonic lintel]

it doesnt because its not working

[slate swan]

yeah i see it @pliant gulch

[sonic lintel]

😭

[pliant gulch]

Ok, once you fix that it should be working

[sonic lintel]

Thank you so much for your time though! sorry for being a pain in the but for an hour

[slate swan]

let me check src real quick

[slate swan]

its await interaction.followup.send()

[slate swan]

not a problem

how to use proxies for bot like import the proxies from proxies.txt

[sonic lintel]

tysm !!

[pliant gulch]

What would you need proxies for???

The only way it would be useful with discord bots is for nuking

Which is something we don't help with

[slate swan]

screams botnet

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

anyone here can help

await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(application_id=APPID, name=name1, type=discord.ActivityType.playing, state=state1, details=detail1, assets={'large_image' : imagekey1, 'large_text' : 'image'}))

the image doesn't show

[boreal ravine]

what d.py version is this?

[slate swan]

anyone

[boreal ravine]

idts, brb

[slate swan]

i need help, does anyone know how to get members server avatar?

???

[final iron]

!d discord.Member.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.avatar

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

[slate swan]

it dont say there

[final iron]

It does

[boreal ravine]

can you show me a screenshot of the bots activity?

[slate swan]

i tested it on user aswell

its not workin

the image doesn't load

[boreal ravine]

does the image even exist on the application

[slate swan]

yes

bruh its not working @final iron

[sage otter]

!d discord.Member.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.display\_avatar

property display_avatar```
Returns the member’s display avatar.

For regular members this is just their avatar, but if they have a guild specific avatar then that is returned instead.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

its in the asset

and my imagekey is correct

embed.set_image(url = member.display_avatar)

[sage otter]

no

[sage otter]

Refer to this.

[slate swan]

i have member defined

[sage otter]

Now it’s good

[slate swan]

yeah not working lol

[sage otter]

Define not working.

[slate swan]

after i downloaded discord's latest version from git, now my bot is not responding to any commands i type

@client.command(aliases=["sav"]) # i will be adding this
async def avatar2(ctx, *, member: discord.Member=None):
  if member is None:
    member = ctx.author # ok wait im gonna do 2 and you cacn pick
  guild = ctx.guild
  embed=discord.Embed(color=color.color, description=f"`{member.name}'s avatar`")
  embed.set_image(url = member.display_avatar)
  await ctx.reply(embed=embed, mention_author=False)

this is the command

[slate swan]

nether it is showing any errors

[boreal ravine]

does your bot have message intents?

[slate swan]

no

[sage otter]

Ok but like is there any errors or anything?

[slate swan]

yyes

[sage otter]

What’s the error.

[slate swan]

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

[sage otter]

You're on 1.7.3

You need to upgrade your dpy

[slate swan]

what do i do to update

[slate swan]

what should i do?

[sage otter]

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

[slate swan]

tysm

[boreal ravine]

enable them

[sage otter]

Does this even have to do with message intents?

The enforcement doesn’t start till late April.

Or has something changed.

[faint arrow]

how to send in a specific channel by using id?

[slate swan]

idk what to do

[sage otter]

Fetch/get it.

await (await bot.fetch_channel(id)).send("ahahah")

Small example

[faint arrow]

ow ok thx

[slate swan]

can u make drop down meaus with 2.0.0

[sage otter]

Yes

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def create(ctx, args):
    perms = discord.Permissions(send_messages=True, read_messages=True, administrator=True, manage_roles = True)
    await ctx.guild.create_role(name=args, permissions=perms)
    await ctx.send("Role created")
    
@client.command()
async def add(ctx, user: discord.Member, role: discord.Role):
    await user.add_roles(role)
    await ctx.send("Role added")

here's my code it creates a role and adds it to a specific user, when i am running it and typing the command in the chat it is not doing anything neither it is giving any errors

[slate swan]

can u send docs to them

huh

[sage otter]

That’s weird

[slate swan]

ig not?

[sage otter]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html?highlight=selectmenu#discord.SelectMenu

[slate swan]

ty

[sage otter]

Oh it’s no longer ui it’s interactions now.

[slate swan]

oh oki

[sage otter]

Do some simple debugging

Add a print statement inside the command to check if it’s even being called.

[thorn leaf]

How can I check if a user has administrator with discord.py?

Without limiting the entire command to administrators

[sage otter]

Look into

!d discord.Member.guild_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild\_permissions

property guild_permissions```
Returns the member’s guild permissions.

This only takes into consideration the guild permissions and not most of the implied permissions or any of the channel permission overwrites. For 100% accurate permission calculation, please use [`abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for "discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for").

This does take into consideration guild ownership and the administrator implication.

[sage otter]

You could do something along the lines of

if Member.guild_permissions.administrator:

[thorn leaf]

Thanks

[pliant gulch]

guild_permissions is not a method

It's just a property, don't call it

[sage otter]

My bad. I had permissions_for() in mind for some reason

[slate swan]

yeah i did that it's not printing anything in the console

[sage otter]

You're commands aren’t even being processed then

Do you have an on_message() anywhere maybe?

[slate swan]

yeah

[sage otter]

Show pls

[sonic lintel]

ok

[lilac orbit]

wait it shld lok like this !?!

cause i just did a
pip install discord.py
and that worked for me

[slate swan]

ERROR: You must give at least one requirement to uninstall (see "pip help uninstall")```

[lilac orbit]

and even pip freeze shows
discord.py==<version>

[slate swan]

thats just main

[slate swan]

try pip uninstall discord.py

and you shouldnt have pycord and dpy

[slate swan]

done

[sonic lintel]

@slate swan Can you help me with my error^

[slate swan]

i will uninstall them?

[slate swan]

not sure ive never deployed my bots on heroku but check your logs

[slate swan]

pardon?

[slate swan]

no such directory

what is /app/main.python

[sonic lintel]

the main script

[slate swan]

sorry i cant really help with heroku deployment never done it before

[sonic lintel]

thats ok

[maiden fable]

U can directly give the link too, no need to add discord.py in the start

[buoyant zodiac]

self.bot.avatar_url
``` it says AutoShardedBot has no attribute avatar_url

how am i supposed to get the url?

[supple thorn]

iirc bot has a user attribute

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.user

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

[buoyant zodiac]

OHH YEA, i haven't coded in a while

[alpine furnace]

self.bot.user.avatar_url

[oblique pike]

bit newer to working with discord bots, but to my knowledge I gave it 1 argument, the integer contained within the uid variable.
not sure what I borked.

[supple thorn]

what's your code

[alpine furnace]

You need to fetch_user with that id

Or filter() with a guild member list, it seems, for a member

[oblique pike]

hm. no idea how to do that. seems i'm back to looking at api reference. thanks for the pointer.

no idea what it means by self, I think I've got the rest sorted, but this one bit is puzzling me.

[slate swan]

Hey Guys, i need some help, if a word is said anywhere example, hi or hi how are you. it says the same response

how do i code that into my bot?

[oblique pike]

think theres something to do with "@something.event" and checking if thats in the content of the message. I don't know how thats done as I havent looked into it.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.aliases

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.aliases

The list of aliases the command can be invoked under.

[slate swan]

thats not how you quite do it. kinda basic oop

[slate swan]

i dont understand from the website lmao

[slate swan]

@Bot.command(aliases=["", ""])

[oblique pike]

not overly surprised. I just followed what the api reference said, and it gave an error asking for 2 arguments.

[slate swan]

the B should not be caps

not my point.

lmao

what’s the problem

[slate swan]

it will be hard to follow then as you need to know oop for dpy

[slate swan]

how?

[slate swan]

my point is the deco needs an instance of the Bot class.

[oblique pike]

hm.

[slate swan]

Hey Guys, i need some help, if a word is said anywhere example, hi or hi how are you. it says the same response
how do i code that into my bot?

[slate swan]

^

yup

[slate swan]

wait wouldn’t it be a event?

[slate swan]

no?

bc people say hi

[slate swan]

like how do i setup it

and the bot says hi back

[slate swan]

yes

aliases

if the word hi is in anything it says hi back

@slate swan can you describe how you are trying to do this? , are you trying to make the bot reply if someone says hi?

[slate swan]

okay, if any message contains hi, it doesnt matter if its, hi how are you or hi or hi hows it going, it always reply Hi back because the word "hi" is in those messages

oh yeah @slate swan wouldn’t that be a event lol?

im so confused do you mean aliases or echo?

@bot.event
aysnc def on_message(message):

[slate swan]

wym?

it says the same response
same response as the same response like alias for a command or an echo command?

are you wanted us to type the whole command

[slate swan]

not alias he’s saying like if someone says “hi” bot reply’s with “hi”

hi or hi hows it going or hi how are you

it doesnt matter, as long it has hi in the msssage

[slate swan]

make a list

[slate swan]

homie there is a bunch of stuff someone can do

welcome = [“hi”,”hi how are you”]

[slate swan]

hi or hi how are you. it says the same response
how do i code that into my bot?
how is that not aliases?

bro i’m on mobile i can’t really help

[slate swan]

those were examplles, man

i want it so the word hi if it is in any message it replys hi back

[slate swan]

bro he’s not trying to do that, he’s trying to get a bot to reply to someone saying hi

[slate swan]

btw those quotes arent correct

[slate swan]

ik i’m on mobile

like if i say hi

i want it so the word hi if it is in any message it replys hi back

[slate swan]

just check the content

yeah

[slate swan]

how do i do that

if message.content i think

[slate swan]

not really my fault as the message was worded horribly (no offense to the author)

[slate swan]

i have that for my one words tho

[slate swan]

understandable

[slate swan]

should use regex

[slate swan]

how do i do that

[slate swan]

ah alright

[slate swan]

wdym "how do i do that"?

[slate swan]

how do i use regex

!regex

[unkempt canyon]

Regular expressions
Regular expressions (regex) are a tool for finding patterns in strings. The standard library's re module defines functions for using regex patterns.

Example
We can use regex to pull out all the numbers in a sentence:

>>> import re
>>> x = "On Oct 18 1963 a cat was launched aboard rocket #47"
>>> regex_pattern = r"[0-9]{1,3}"  # Matches 1-3 digits
>>> re.findall(regex_pattern, foo)
['18', '196', '3', '47']  # Notice the year is cut off

See Also
• The re docs - for functions that use regex
• regex101.com - an interactive site for testing your regular expression

[slate swan]

lul , @slate swan is in this channel everyday I dont know how you do it

[slate swan]

i have no life

@slate swan i want something like this

`@client.event
async def on_message(message):
triggerWords = ("test", "test2", "test3")

if message.author == client.user:
    return

if any(triggerWords in message.content.lower() for triggerWords in triggerWords):
    await message.delete()
    await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention}, you cannot say that here!")`

[slate swan]

it’s okay tho

[slate swan]

so a filter?

[slate swan]

yes.

that’s all you had to say lol

[slate swan]

then use regex.

fr

or just go on stack overflow and look for stuff there

[oblique pike]

unless I misunderstand what i just read about oop, a self like variable should already be given and defined without me having to do anything which is what I thought, however, i can't seem to find where that is, and the api reference seems to think I only need 1 argument. (could be in addition to the self thing)

[arctic gyro]

Hi can anyone tell me some good python software for bot development

[slate swan]

yes the method needs a instance of the Bot class hence why it needs the positional argument self to access the class

[slate swan]

like what exactly?

like lib or editor?

[arctic gyro]

like ive been using replit but it doesnt support nextcord so I wanna change to something else

[oblique pike]

issue is I can't find the predefined self, or how to properly call the bot class.

[slate swan]

so an editor?

[arctic gyro]

yeah

[slate swan]

you mean an instance of the Bot class?

[slate swan]

vsc is good

[oblique pike]

i'd think thats what is needed, but I don't know what to put in that self arugment thanks to the api not saying anything about it.

[arctic gyro]

alright thanku :)

[slate swan]

self gets satisfied when you use the method on the class

which self is used to access a class instance which if its given on a methods signature it bounds it to an instance of the class

@oblique pike heres a good playlist to learn oop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDa-Z5JzLYM&list=PL-osiE80TeTsqhIuOqKhwlXsIBIdSeYtc&index=1

[oblique pike]

well i just read through a thing on oop, but i'd assume a number of classes are defined places I can't find and therefore don't know what to call and where. and due to the layout of the api reference, that too is useless.

[slate swan]

its not really about the api references layout its just oop

opps

[oblique pike]

given that they probably expect one to know oop fully, perhaps, but when one manages to gather a simple understanding of it, the way the reference seems to point things out, it requires a full understanding and thus is rather unintuitive for one who is learning it.

[slate swan]

dpy is an advance lib which it depends on oop and async programming which isnt quite suitable for beginners or programmers who are missing such knowledge, this isnt dpys fault nor anyones. its just object oriented programming which everyone should know atleast inheritance as everything in python is an object. my point is the api references layout isnt bad at all but it might be scary to does who lack such knowledge.

[oblique pike]

well thats enough of me picking my brains out tryna code this for today. sorry if you think I know nothing, thats because youre right about that one, I can understand logic to some extent, but I guess python is less connect the dots style of understanding once you get into methods and classes. idk how people put up with my sorta crap, but thanks for trying to help.

[slate swan]

well thats just how python works. it might be confusing at the start but afterwards its very easy its allot to take in and it takes time to master but its all about not giving up.

my button not working after bot restart how do i fix

persistent views

hu?

[oblique pike]

oh are you kidding me. i just took 1 more look and a capitalization error fixed it.

[slate swan]

Hi i need help with preistent view where to put

class ticket(commands.Cog):
    """huh4?."""
    def __init__(self , bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
class Closetic2(disnake.ui.View):
     def __init__(self , channel : disnake.TextChannel):
         self.channel = channel
         super().__init__(timeout=None)
     @disnake.ui.button(label="Delete Ticket", style=ButtonStyle.blurple, custom_id="nos")

This is my cog

@slate swan

i see that repo but not sure where do i add that

[buoyant zodiac]

afkdict = {}

@bot.command()
async def afk(ctx, *, message="No message provided"):
    global afkdict

    afkdict[ctx.message.author] = message
    await ctx.send(f"**{ctx.author.mention}** is AFK")
    msg = await bot.wait_for('message', check=lambda message: message.author == ctx.author)
    await ctx.reply(f"**{ctx.author.mention}** welcome back!")
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    global afkdict
    if message.author in afkdict:
       afkdict.pop(message.author)

    for member in message.mentions:  
        if member != message.author:
          return
        if member in afkdict:  
                afkmsg = afkdict[member]  
                await message.channel.send(f"**{member}** is currently AFK")
    await bot.process_commands(message)
``` when i get pinged it doesnt send the "member is currently afk message", help?

[torn sail]

Add it in the __init__ of the cog

[slate swan]

what

to add

[torn sail]

The persistent view

[slate swan]

i found this ```py
self.add_view(Closetic2())

@torn sail

hmm?

[torn sail]

In this case it would be bot.add_view

[slate swan]

okay

[slate swan]

class ticket(commands.Cog):
    """huh4?."""
    def __init__(self , bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        bot.add_view(Closetic2())

[slate swan]

didn't i need any custom id stuff

or thats it?

[torn sail]

That should be good

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

KeyError: 'ticket'

[torn sail]

Full traceback

[slate swan]

what about argument

i mean my 1 class need a argument from another class

[torn sail]

Wdym

[slate swan]

wait ill show u

[slate swan]

class Closetic2(disnake.ui.View):
     def __init__(self , channel : disnake.TextChannel):
         self.channel = channel
         super().__init__(timeout=None)
     @disnake.ui.button(label="Delete Ticket", style=ButtonStyle.blurple)
     async def first_button3(self, button: disnake.ui.Button, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction):
         await self.channel.delete()

and in another class Closetic class

await channelslogs.send(embed=emb,view=Closetic2(channelslogs))

[torn sail]

Ok so what do you need again?

[slate swan]

channel

only channel

[torn sail]

So when ur adding the persistent view you need the channel?

[slate swan]

yes

[torn sail]

You could save the id in a database and then use bot.get_channel to get the channel object

[slate swan]

class ticket(commands.Cog):
    """huh4?."""
    def __init__(self , bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        bot.add_view(Closetic2())
        bot.add_view(Closetic())
        bot.add_view(RowButtons())

[slate swan]

yes

im already

         with open("ownticket.json") as s:
              logss2 = json.load(s)
         guild_id = str(interaction.guild.id)
         if guild_id in logss2.keys():
                  logsid = logss2[guild_id]
                  if a == logsid:
                      for channels in interaction.guild.text_channels:
                          if channels.name == str(a):
                           channelslogs = channels

@torn sail

[torn sail]

So open the file, get the channel ids, get the channel objects, add the views

[slate swan]

for that i need interaction then

😐

[torn sail]

Json not databas but I’ll ignore that for now

[supple thorn]

i was wondering why you were ignoring it

[torn sail]

Was a joke

[slate swan]

h

[supple thorn]

you also can't tell that's a joke

[slate swan]

so

now?

[dense swallow]

SQLite is good for beginners

[torn sail]

You could just iterate through all the bots guilds

[tough lance]

SQL is easy to learn but schema is hard

[dense swallow]

in a discord bot we will only use the easiest SQL queries

like insert, select etc

[tough lance]

Yea but schema needs to be correct

Which tbh I don't clearly know

I just use mongoDB

[slate swan]

:,

:<

[dense swallow]

I don't like nosql DB's.. so automatically I don't like JSON too

they are way to similar to JS {}

[tough lance]

There's a difference between JSON format and JSON files

[dense swallow]

yeah but one day I tried learning JS, and I couldn't bcz of the {}.. and ik for a fact that nosql DB's uses that syntax.. anyway we are going off topic

[bleak karma]

help?

message is None there is what the error is saying

[red canyon]

should i add client.event()?

[placid skiff]

No it is absolutely nothing, what do you wanted to do?

[red canyon]

i wanna make a custom prefixs command

[hasty bison]

how do i make my bot send a custom emoji

[placid skiff]

then you have to do this before every command is executed

and i think that probably you just copied this code from somewhere else

[heavy folio]

either get the emoji using id, or <:emojiname:id>

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_emoji

get_emoji(id, /)```
Returns an emoji with the given ID.

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

[hasty bison]

doesn't work

[heavy folio]

what doesnt work

show code and output

[rich kite]

Currently when someone sends a message and has the "Hunger" role, the bot gives them a countdown role (to stop the counting to repeat) and counts 60 seconds, then gives them the "dead" role. However, after the timer is done, it gives the "dead" role even if "hunger" has been taken away which I only want to happen if the user still has "hunger".

Anyone know how to stop this?

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  Hunger = message.guild.get_role(957207332134223892)
  Counting = message.guild.get_role(957525791426637834)
  Dead = message.guild.get_role(852087847917715457)
  if Hunger in message.author.roles:
    if Counting not in message.author.roles:
      if Dead not in message.author.roles:
        await message.author.add_roles(Counting)
        time.sleep(60)
        if Hunger in message.author.roles:

yes

[hasty bison]

the emoji isnt shown

[slate swan]

If i didn't get hosting for my bot , emoji can't know or what

[hasty bison]

it replies with this

[slate swan]

Is there free hosting or paid and how much need money to host it

[hasty bison]

paid

[heavy folio]

does the bot have access to the server the emote belongs to?

[hasty bison]

it has administrator

[slate swan]

How much?

[tough lance]

Well if you go with Aws there is a free trial for an year

But you need a credit card

[slate swan]

How can i get it ?

Because i need to make one

And published

But i don't know about the hosting

[tough lance]

https://aws.amazon.com

[slate swan]

From here ?

[tough lance]

Yes it'll be a vps

You'll have to set it up on your own

[slate swan]

hi everyone

@bot.command()
async def rank(ctx):
    userExp = showdata(ctx.author.id)
    requiredExp = 100
    level = 0
    while True:
        if requiredExp < userExp:
            level += 1
            userExp -= requiredExp
            if userExp<=0:
                userExp = 0
            requiredExp += 100
        else:
            embed = discord.Embed(

                name="YOUR LEVEL => {}".format(level),value="AMOUNT OF EXP THAT YOU NEED => {}".format(requiredExp-userExp)
            )
            await ctx.reply(embed=embed)
            break

when I use this as rank command

it just replies twice

I didnt understand why

[placid skiff]

maybe you have two instance of your bot running

[slate swan]

let me check

I think its not the problem

[placid skiff]

btw with this you will always need 100 xp level, your increment method will increment requiredExp for the current instance, but when you call the command again requiredExp will be equal to 100

[slate swan]

nah

[placid skiff]

yup trust me, you need to use a database for this

[slate swan]

you see the userExp -= requiredExp thing

after that I have requiredExp += 100

it scales 100 exp every level

[placid skiff]

uhm interesting lol

not the best way to do it but interesting indeed

[slate swan]

lol thanks 😄

probably not the best idea but

it works and im proud of it lmao

[placid skiff]

uhm maybe it sends it twice because of the while loop, now i can't check furthore maybe someone else will help

[slate swan]

I think I found the problem wait

damn my dumb head..

I used bot.process_commans() twice in a on_message function

anyway thanks for helping

[placid skiff]

lol

consider using bot.listen() for events

[slate swan]

hi

i want help

[placid skiff]

ask D_D

[slate swan]

in closetic2 class there is channel argument required which is in a sub class how do i get it there

i mean

after my bot restart my view button not working

so i add that

[hybrid mural]

tried making the argument a property?

[slate swan]

class Closetic2(disnake.ui.View):
     def __init__(self , channel : disnake.TextChannel):
         self.channel = channel

[hybrid mural]

you mean channel?

[slate swan]

         with open("ownticket.json") as s:
              logss2 = json.load(s)
         guild_id = str(interaction.guild.id)
         if guild_id in logss2.keys():
                  logsid = logss2[guild_id]
                  if a == logsid:
                      for channels in interaction.guild.text_channels:
                          if channels.name == str(a):
                           channelslogs = channels
                           em = disnake.Embed(title="Closed ur ticket",description=f"in server {interaction.guild.name}",color=aqua)
                           await interaction.send(embed=em)
                           await channelslogs.edit(overwrites=overwrites)
                           emb = disnake.Embed(color=aqua,title="Ticket closed",description="Click Delete ticket button to delete the ticket")
                           await channelslogs.send(embed=emb,view=Closetic2(channelslogs))
``` this class has the channel

class Closetic

[placid skiff]

You have to pass a textChannel as argument, inside a Cog class you have no channel parameter, you can get one by fetching it by id but then it will work only for that channel with that instance of your view

[slate swan]

listen

[tough lance]

Are you trying to use persistent views?

They don't act like that

[slate swan]

i only need the first one

[slate swan]

idk im new to that

i added it today

[tough lance]

You need to store the view instance that you created first time

[slate swan]

wasup

but dont i need the rowbutton class only

yes

guild id : user who own

[tough lance]

They won't work

[slate swan]

i mean 2

guild : ticketchannel

[tough lance]

You need to store the whole instance

[slate swan]

class RowButtons(disnake.ui.View):
     def __init__(self , bot: commands.Bot):
         self.bot = bot
         super().__init__(timeout=None)
     @disnake.ui.button(label="Create ticket", style=ButtonStyle.blurple)
     async def first_button(self, button: disnake.ui.Button, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction):

it looks like

[tough lance]

Like

view = View()
await ctx.send("yo", view=view)
dB.store(view) #example

And when the bot starts

view = db.retrieve(view) #again example
bot.add_view(view)

@slate swan

[slate swan]

im using json.

[tough lance]

Ya

[slate swan]

okay

[tough lance]

Just store in whatever dB you want

But store the whole instance

[slate swan]

wait

ill add it at last of my cog

[tough lance]

Wait.

Guys, idk if these is related to discord bots or anything, but I recently moved from Replit to vscode for bot dev. Everything's good except the flask server. Replit has a url which I can ping through uptimerbot. But vscode only has an ip on port 8080. Uptimerbot doesn't allow any port specifications. Any suggestions for another service or removeing port on Vscode?

[placid skiff]

if you need your bot to run 24/7 then you have to use a VPS

otherwise self-hosting

[slate swan]

self-hosting or run and leave hosting

is best for nothing

[versed heart]

oh ok

[slate swan]

@tough lance can u help?

[tough lance]

What

[slate swan]

[tough lance]

Dunno how they work

[slate swan]

okay

I once used them but I forgor

[slate swan]

[tough lance]

Nah I'm in college and a biology student so I don't usually have time

guys this is my code

the bot basically is supposed to give the test role to the member who types okay in the chat

and the bot has roles itslef which gives it administrator perms and even while adding it to the server it had those perms

but still everytime i do it it shows iscord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

please help me

[spring flax]

!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.

[tropic flame]

what

[spring flax]

It does not have permissions to give the role, as the error says.

[tropic flame]

it does i gave it the roles and even in the perms calculator it shows that it can manage roles

[spring flax]

give the full traceback.

[spring flax]

who are you trying to add roles to

You must have the manage_roles permission to use this, and the added Roles must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

THANK YOU SO FRICKIN MUCH

[slate swan]

listen!

[junior verge]

Got any idea

[slate swan]

i have a create ticket button

which dont trigger after bot restart

[spring flax]

add the view when the bot is ready.

[slate swan]

as easy as that?

[spring flax]

yes?

do await bot.wait_until_ready() in a function and add the view

[slate swan]

class ticket(commands.Cog):
    """huh4?."""
    def __init__(self , bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        RowButtons()

hm?

[spring flax]

what is RowButtons?

[slate swan]

view

[spring flax]

if you're thinking to add the buttons like that, how is that going to work?

[slate swan]

i just added that

[spring flax]

you're just putting a class there, nothing more

[slate swan]

wait its class

[spring flax]

like I said, read this ^

[slate swan]

what if it goes offline

all ded

[spring flax]

in a function, add the following code

[slate swan]

ok

[spring flax]

[hearty dust]

;-;

[slate swan]

anywhere?

[supple thorn]

[hearty dust]

cane?

[supple thorn]

You can easily do this in a database

Just learn how to use one

And it will be clear on what to do for your purpose

[slate swan]

hey guys my

bot.run()
``` is empty

[supple thorn]

A person believed you earlier

[supple thorn]

Okay

[slate swan]

**Not issue

   def run(self):
        super().run(token=tokens)
        self.setup()

[supple thorn]

it was sparky

He deleted the message

[slate swan]

class Sluppy(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):

lol

[supple thorn]

But he replied to this message when i told him json is not a database

🗿

[tropic flame]

hey i want to ask that if want on_message(message) but after replaceing the & in the message with a then how would i do that

[slate swan]

lol..

[tropic flame]

nvm guys

[supple thorn]

Good job cause i couldn't understand that

[slate swan]

🥫 👊

[copper gulch]

anyone have any idea how to fix this, Ill be converting this into my discord bot after though xd

[slate swan]

change it to int

[copper gulch]

ok ok

[slate swan]

yes

ok

lets test the ticket command

from discord import everything

everything =

[supple thorn]

Jesus christ

[slate swan]

ok

leme test

[supple thorn]

That's longer than some of my command files

[zinc phoenix]

Is there anyway to check if the author is not connected to any voice channel

[copper gulch]

finally it worked xd

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.voice

property voice```
Returns the member’s current voice state.

[zinc phoenix]

Thanks

[tropic flame]

lmao

hey guys how can i code a program in htis way that if a person doesn't send a catchphrase in 24 hours the role will be removed

[zinc phoenix]

Can you me give an example of an if statements that shows the message author of the join command is not connected to any voice channels, that would be grateful

[supple thorn]

Use the datetime module and have a variable that has the time when the catchphrase was last said and check it with the current time every second or 5 seconds if it's been 24 hours yet

[tropic flame]

yea ik tho how will i check if it ' has been 24 hours '

[thorn ore]

#python-discussion

[supple thorn]

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

times_up = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(days=1)

catchphrase = False

while catchphrase is False:
    if datetime.utcnow() > times_up:
        catchphrase = True
        ...
        break

That is an example

Missed something damn

[tropic flame]

ty

[supple thorn]

Sweating heavily caude blvck is here and he sees my code

👀

[placid skiff]

lol i was commenting it but i've lost hope xD

[zinc phoenix]

Thanks

[supple thorn]

Commenting on the example?

[placid skiff]

well nothing too excessive of course, it is not wrong but...

import datetime
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

D_D

[supple thorn]

I was panicking

[placid skiff]

hahahahaha

[supple thorn]

Must be the first one to answer

[placid skiff]

i've not seen hunter today, it is not the same without him

[supple thorn]

Yes

And ashley's uwu examples

[placid skiff]

right hahaha

[junior verge]

Anyone?

[placid skiff]

normally slash commands takes up to 1 hour to be registered globally

dunno how it works for discord_slash

[junior verge]

that might be it idk

[placid skiff]

the question should be "why are you using dpy when disnake exists?"

[slate swan]

how?

[vale wing]

Why are you running it from cmd 😳

And pretty sure the real extension of whitelist.txt isn't .txt

[slate swan]

it is

[vale wing]

Ok

But why are you running it like this

Run it from IDE you use

[slate swan]

ide?

[vale wing]

Btw what IDE are you using

[slate swan]

whats an ide

[vale wing]

Code editor

[slate swan]

sublime

its a text editor, not a code editor

[vale wing]

Use code editor for god's sake

[slate swan]

im good

[vale wing]

Pycharm, visual studio code

[vale wing]

No you are not

Emacs

[slate swan]

i have vs code but it keeps running my old code even after saving, so i cbf messing with it

[vale wing]

Etc

[vale wing]

Do you delete your terminal when rerunning

[slate swan]

i CTRL C

[vale wing]

I'd suggest deleting it

It shouldn't run the old code

[honest shoal]

I was making a minecraft status checker using mcstatus, currently I am stuck with how to refresh my message ```py
class Refresh(disnake.ui.View):
def init(self):
super().init()
self.value = None

@disnake.ui.button(label="Refresh", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.green, emoji='🔃')
async def confirm(self, button: disnake.ui.Button, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Refreshing", ephemeral=True)
    self.value = True
    self.stop()

@bot.command(hidden=True, description='deploys status checker.')
async def deploy(ctx):
view = Refresh()
off = disnake.Embed(title="Status for GG Network", description="Oh! no the server is offline", color=ctx.author.color, timestamp=datetime.utcnow())
off.set_footer(icon_url=ctx.guild.icon, text=ctx.guild.name)
msg = await ctx.send(embed=off, view=view)
await view.wait()``` I want to refresh using button and there's an if statement to check whether the server is offline or online if status.players_max="1" then the server will be offline.

[vale wing]

You can assign a message to an attribute of your class

Nvm it's interactions

Then assign an interaction

[honest shoal]

I want to refresh it

where

[vale wing]

Simple OOP

self.inter = interaction```

In the confirm method

And then you can do like

!d disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction.edit_original_message

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction.edit\_original\_message

await edit_original_message(*, content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., file=..., files=..., attachments=..., view=..., components=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the original, previously sent interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.InteractionMessage.edit "disnake.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

Note

If the original message has embeds with images that were created from local files (using the `file` parameter with [`Embed.set_image()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Embed.set_image "disnake.Embed.set_image") or [`Embed.set_thumbnail()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Embed.set_thumbnail "disnake.Embed.set_thumbnail")), those images will be removed if the message’s attachments are edited in any way (i.e. by setting `file`/`files`/`attachments`, or adding an embed with local files).

[honest shoal]

let me try

[crimson compass]

anyone got a ready ticket system?

[gaunt ice]

why would anyone keep that

u gotta do urself

[brave vessel]

no, but we can help you to make a ticket system

[crimson compass]

ok

[brave vessel]

what are you confused about for making a ticket system? or are you just confused about the concept in general

[honest shoal]

see the message went fine

disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Message' object has no attribute 'edit_original_message'```

! made it like py await view.wait() if status.players_max == 1: await msg.edit_original_message(embed=off) else: await msg.edit_original_message("Server is on.")

[brave vessel]

what is msg set to?

ohh, I see why. the documentation provided is for an interaction (eg what returns back in a callback for buttons, slashcmds, etc.)

[honest shoal]

msg = await ctx.send(embed=off, view=view)```

[brave vessel]

oh

!d disnake.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Message.edit

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

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

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

Note

If the original message has embeds with images that were created from local files (using the `file` parameter with [`Embed.set_image()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Embed.set_image "disnake.Embed.set_image") or [`Embed.set_thumbnail()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Embed.set_thumbnail "disnake.Embed.set_thumbnail")), those images will be removed if the message’s attachments are edited in any way (i.e. by setting `file`/`files`/`attachments`, or adding an embed with local files).

[brave vessel]

@honest shoal there ya go

you were treating msg as if it was a slash commands interaction

[honest shoal]

if I remove the message variable can I use edit_original_message?

[honest shoal]

ohh

[brave vessel]

so the Message counterpart of it would just be msg.edit rather than msg.edit_original_message

[honest shoal]

hmm, they told me to do so

[brave vessel]

I think they might've assumed you were using a slash commands or an interaction, when you're just bounding it (msg) to a simple message sent

[honest shoal]

hey If I restart the bot, will the button of old command stop working?

[brave vessel]

yep

the interaction will time out afaik

[honest shoal]

ahh, I want to make it permanent

[brave vessel]

buttons only last for 3 minutes though before it times out

[honest shoal]

but I've seen the role pickers and all have permanent buttons?

[brave vessel]

oh interesting

[honest shoal]

which do not get timed out

[brave vessel]

[honest shoal]

[inner epoch]

Ok so whos using mariadb for the bots?

[desert badger]

[wicked quest]

My commands arent syncing (The output of tree.sync() is [])
code: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/pehoginafo.py

[vale wing]

Depends on case, you can handle this with simple try-except ig

[desert badger]

hm

[vale wing]

Or just make sure that you are connected every time you play something

[boreal ravine]

Aren't you supposed to make the slash command above the tree.sync method?

[wicked quest]

turns out it just matters where you put the asyncio.run()

[vale wing]

You put it at the end no matter what

[boreal ravine]

No

[vale wing]

Bots can't stream videos

[junior verge]

What's the easiest way to get slash commands without changing a lot of your code

[vale wing]

Search+replace

[junior verge]

Yeah but whats the easiest way

[vale wing]

I dunno any other ways

[boreal ravine]

Thats the easiest way to do it

[junior verge]

No but to get the slash commands

Like what library etc

[vale wing]

Just replace the decorators, ctx's, some typehints, do some linting and find if anything was replaced in a wrong way

[boreal ravine]

discord.py, disnake, nextcord, py-cord, hikari

[zinc phoenix]

How do I make a list global, I have tried using global queue but when I use it in a command, the program brokes unless I declare that variable in the command part

[boreal ravine]

define the list in the global scope
