[rocky hornet]

instead of subclassing Context can i do this?

async def tick(self):
    await self.message.add_reaction("✅")

commands.Context.tick = tick

[zinc phoenix]

I have declared it in global scope but when I try to append an url into it, the program breaks

[boreal ravine]

yeah

[boreal ravine]

Show me the error

[rocky hornet]

i'd go for disnake

[zinc phoenix]

Do you need the code

[rocky hornet]

better devs and 2.0 is long since stable

[boreal ravine]

queue is a command

[zinc phoenix]

Wait

Let me change the comand name

[boreal ravine]

hm

[gaunt ice]

pls dont use repl in my opinion

[rocky hornet]

makes me think why people ask others to read their errors

it says in plain english

[gaunt ice]

waww kayle has pfp now

[boreal ravine]

yes 😄

[zinc phoenix]

Hm

[gaunt ice]

niceee

[gaunt ice]

like actually

replit isnt good as they use shared ips, just cause its free dont use it

[zinc phoenix]

Wow

But replit is the only cloud hosting service I know

Do you know other alternatives

[rocky hornet]

https://railway.app

replit is crap for hosting

[zinc phoenix]

Hm

Thanks

[boreal ravine]

it isn't good for discord bots lol

[rocky hornet]

free solutions wont be super good

but they work

[gaunt ice]

thas true

ur the one who said abt it lmfao

[boreal ravine]

Indeed

[inner epoch]

Hey guys I currently had to shift to mariadb from mysql due to server change now the old python script used to work well but now whenever two diff databases are called using the bot it shows error that "MySQL closed connection"

Example:
Bot at first runs a command for database A [this works fine]
Later it run for database B [here it throws error]

I read something abt cursor.close() I dont think thats needed bcs that will close the intial cursor

[rocky hornet]

yeah

cool?

[placid skiff]

try to ask in #databases

[inner epoch]

Aha for sure

[rocky hornet]

bro idk who asked fr

[honest shoal]

hey how does bot.add_view() work in disnake?

[rocky hornet]

go rant somewhere else

[placid skiff]

same as d.py 2.0 .-.

[rocky hornet]

heroku/railway are just fine for small applications

i dont like wasting people's money

[sick birch]

Adds a persistent view that picks up interactions after a bot restart

[rocky hornet]

cool? 💀

[honest shoal]

wait, I don't have persistent view

[sick birch]

Then don’t use add_view

[honest shoal]

then?

[sick birch]

Just send a view regularly

Pass in your view instance to the view= Kwarg in ctx.send

[honest shoal]

will it work after bot restarts?

[boreal ravine]

no

[honest shoal]

then what is the solution?

[zinc phoenix]

How do add the skip feature for the bot, I have tried using queue.pop(0) and voice.stop()

[static beacon]

pause. remove the video from queue. and play the next in line if there is one?

[zinc phoenix]

I think pause is stop playing the music until we use resume

And I use play to play a song on yt using it url

[static beacon]

then pop it and play the next?

[zinc phoenix]

Hm

I have tried adding it but its not working either

Heres the code

[hasty bison]

anyone can help me with a roleplay bot?

@brave vessel

[junior verge]

Should this be bot=client or client=bot

I use client

[sick birch]

Use add_view

[sick birch]

What are you using wave link for?

[junior verge]

Trying to make a music bot

[sick birch]

From YouTube?

[junior verge]

No

[sick birch]

Hm alright since that’s against tos and usually wavelink is used for that

[junior verge]

Yeah I know that..

[sick birch]

For your error though you don’t have to pass in client

[junior verge]

But should it be bot=client?

[sick birch]

That’s what the errors saying, it didn’t expect to get client= passed in

[vale wing]

Missing Authorization header

Or not

[sick birch]

Check the documentation for that

[vale wing]

Nvm that's lib

Bad token

[crimson compass]

what's this

[torn sail]

Your token was invalid

[quaint epoch]

can someone please run this command in a channel of theirs and tell me if it prints True? py @bot.command() async def foo(ctx): role = ctx.guild.default_role await ctx.send(((ctx.channel.overwrites_for(role)).view_channel and (ctx.channel.overwrites_for(role)).send_messages and isinstance(ctx.channel, discord.TextChannel))) because this BOOLEAN returns None, not True or False(it should return True in my case)

idk why that's happening

[placid skiff]

you haven't an if in that send statement

[quaint epoch]

fuck im going to have to rework all of this

nvm

[placid skiff]

what do you want to do?

[quaint epoch]

i created a few cogs for server/channel muting, but i made a few mistakes in the booleans

just gotta fix those

[verbal sentinel]

wait you want to get the @everyone role and check its permissions?

or overwrite them / change them?

[quaint epoch]

yes, but not only that role

i added options for muting multiples roles

AND i FORGOT discord.PermissiomsOverwrite returns False, None, or True for any key

[verbal sentinel]

ohh

[quaint epoch]

now im going to have to suffer the next 3 hours

[boreal ravine]

readability?

so i just have to add a few checks for explicit denial and im set

[junior verge]

Any idea?

[lament mesa]

isnt it ctx.voice_client?

can someone please help me

[tropic flame]

it isnt removing the role

Thanks a ton

tho i'll have to manually put in the code id right

[dusk drift]

how to make the bot so that it sends messages when someone types something in a channel ,for example there is a channel named "ai" and you type "hello" in ai channel and the bot replies and sends random word from a list

[tropic flame]

ic

[dusk drift]

i want it to be on a certain chanmel

[stray carbon]

I edited the file but still showing error

[stray carbon]

[dusk drift]

@slate swan its red

[stray carbon]

im using old pc and vcs lags so i use idle

keep alive isnt even for hosting

that tutorial is trash lmao

[dusk drift]

@slate swan wtf

Lol

[slate swan]

youre probably running 2 instances of your bot

does it work in win7?

[slate swan]

sublime is lightweight aswell

[slate swan]

you need to return if the author is itself

[dusk drift]

how to fix

[slate swan]

and use a listener

so you wont need to process on_message events

[boreal ravine]

hm

why not use asyncio.sleep(5)

[dusk drift]

if message.content = "hello"

how to make it so that it replies when the message HAS something like "why" so the bot will reply "because"

[tropic flame]

..

bruh

[gaunt ice]

what

[tropic flame]

obvio not cause the program shouldnt sleep

[gaunt ice]

......

[dusk drift]

like the message has the word

[gaunt ice]

program doesnt sleep

[gaunt ice]

ya mean like reply?

alr

[dusk drift]

ah

wrong screenshot

[gaunt ice]

oh wai

[slate swan]

== is the right operator to compare, youre assigning

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.

[tropic flame]

im dumb ty

[dusk drift]

i meant this

gib 2 mins

[dusk drift]

oki

[slate swan]

a command or an elif statement if on message

[dusk drift]

what

[boreal ravine]

check if the content of the message starts with what you want

[dusk drift]

noooo i don't want it to just start with what i wannttt

[velvet compass]

What is happening

[cold sonnet]

channel.reply

is happening

and it freaks me out

await message.channel.reply(random.choice(numb6r) + "/10")

!d discord.Message.reply

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reply

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

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

New in version 1.6.

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

[dusk drift]

i want it to happen in only one channl

[cold sonnet]

it's just message.reply(f"{random.choice(numb6r)}/10")

[cold sonnet]

it's still only gonna respond to that message...

the message object is bound to that channel

either message.reply or message.channel.send

[dusk drift]

message.reply(f"{random.choice(numb6r)}/10")

[cold sonnet]

sure

with await ofc

[gaunt ice]

meh

help him pls

[cold sonnet]

it's what I'm doing

[gaunt ice]

[cold sonnet]

BUT

how didn't you have an error 2022?

lemme guess else: pass error handler

[cold sonnet]

I also recommend word in message.content.lower() in your any()

oh how dumb can I yet be

your rate is out of your scope innit

MMXII do you have an error handler which could eat up your errors?

because the last two mistakes should've raised an error

both of them

why are all asking this

         await message.reply(f"{random.choice([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,100,69,-1000,5])}/10")

and listen instead of event

cuz it's better

[slate swan]

Won't work xd

[hybrid mural]

does bot.has_permissions() apply to the user who invoked command or to the bot itself

[buoyant zodiac]

the user

[hybrid mural]

ty

[cold sonnet]

tell me why ain't nothing but a hard way

yeah that's not what he wants

atleast not the number part

[nimble plume]

ping

[verbal sentinel]

meme numbers

[cold sonnet]

he has 1-10, 69, 100, -1000

[verbal sentinel]

1 - 10, 69, 100 and -1000

[cold sonnet]

and you would want if "rate" in message.content.lower()

[hybrid mural]

Hey so

[slate swan]

Nvm sorry it will, except for being case sensitive and a long way

[slate swan]

Yea

[cold sonnet]

yeah

[hybrid mural]

bot.clear()
Cleares the State of the Bot = does mean that it gets "restarted"?

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.clear

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.clear

clear()```
Clears the internal state of the bot.

After this, the bot can be considered “re-opened”, i.e. [`is_closed()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_closed "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_closed") and [`is_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_ready "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_ready") both return `False` along with the bot’s internal cache cleared.

[slate swan]

I think it's related to bot's cache , tho I'm not sure

hm

[cold sonnet]

along with the bot’s internal cache cleared.

is_ready doesn't launch switched with on_ready

[hybrid mural]

so is there a way to restart the bot?

[cold sonnet]

cogs ❤️

[verbal sentinel]

i mean most u can do is unload and load cogs

[cold sonnet]

or close the script

and reopen it

[hybrid mural]

closing the script way to big of a hassle

[verbal sentinel]

and use os to run python bot.py

[hybrid mural]

i'd lke it clean

Alright cogs unloading and loading

got it

[slate swan]

or Reloading sounds better, since it does the same

[cold sonnet]

there's no reload cogs

or... new stuff

[verbal sentinel]

or closing the window, opening cmd, cd to the file, python bot.py all with os

overcomplication wooooooo

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload\_extension

await reload_extension(name, *, package=None)```
Atomically reloads an extension.

This replaces the extension with the same extension, only refreshed. This is equivalent to a [`unload_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension") followed by a [`load_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension") except done in an atomic way. That is, if an operation fails mid-reload then the bot will roll-back to the prior working state.

[cold sonnet]

lemme guess new in 2.0

[hybrid mural]

probably

[cold sonnet]

nah

[slate swan]

That has been since 1.6

[cold sonnet]

it's 1.7

[hybrid mural]

or not

i assume package are the cogs?

[cold sonnet]

that's just the parameter that's 1.7 let's stop

[hybrid mural]

nvm the names are the cogs

[vale wing]

Setup supervisor and do os.system("reboot") 😀

[hybrid mural]

@vale wing you worked with heroku before?

Does that work on that platform?

[vale wing]

No and won't ever do

[hybrid mural]

alrighty

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[slate swan]

Use this instead, it's more efficient

[hybrid mural]

aww cmon

reload_extensions only takes 1 extension?

[dusk drift]

no

[cold sonnet]

please don't

[dusk drift]

can anyone help

[hybrid mural]

1 sec

import random

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.lower() = "hello":
        rnd = random.randint(1, <how much words you have from that list>)
        await message.channel.send(list[rnd])
    await bot.process_commands(message)

i think

[vale wing]

on_message event and simple if condition

[hybrid mural]

im not sure if the bot.process_commands is needed

[vale wing]

if message.lower() == "hello"```

Why put such condition lol

[hybrid mural]

ay dont ask me

[vale wing]

And yeah random.choice exists

Also @bot.listen() is better

[dusk drift]

res69 = ["Yes","no","Hohoho","eugh","Yes","no"]
numb6r = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,100,69,-1000,5]
rate = ['rate']
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.bot:
        return

    if message.channel.id == 958013053557940304:
        await message.channel.send(random.choice(res69))
        if any(word in message.content for word in rate):
         await message.channel.reply(random.choice(numb6r) + "/10")

[vale wing]

So never give complete solutions

[dusk drift]

this is my code but

[slate swan]

Nice : )

[hybrid mural]

thank you master for teaching me your ways 🧎‍♂️

[placid skiff]

someone knows how to do this?

[slate swan]

``json

{
"success":true,
"Amount":3,
"line":"lol:gir3
{
``
I wanna get certain element from json and print it

[cold sonnet]

we literally sent it

[vale wing]

Modals

[spring flax]

do what?

[vale wing]

Implementable with disnake for sure

Check examples folder on their repo

[hybrid mural]

Btw is there a way to always get the id from the "welcome" channel?

the channel that sais "this guy joined!"

Theres such an easier way to do that with @tasks.loop

with the asyncio.sleep?

its not wrong although definitely not the best method to do it

with @tasks.loop you can loop a function with either seconds, minutes, hour

Check with a print if you get to the function

cause basically what i would do is

[slow fog]

lmao

[hybrid mural]

find a way to get these out of the loop while still accessable:

now = date.today()
  cst_time_zone = pytz.timezone('US/Central')
  now_cst = now.astimezone(cst_time_zone).strftime("%I:%M %p")

And then implement the loop itself

@tasks.loop(minutes=1) #this is the loop everything in there is gonna get looped
async def status_task():
    await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.dnd, activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f"Time {now_cst}"))


@client.event
async def on_ready():
  client.status_task.start()
  print(f"Logged in as {client.user}")

My thought on your code

wait why do you need this:

now = date.today()
  cst_time_zone = pytz.timezone('US/Central')
  now_cst = now.astimezone(cst_time_zone).strftime("%I:%M %p")

ok i get it

this is basically how @tasks.loop works

recommendable would also be to make a cog and run it in the cog itself

Try implementing tasks.loop and then see if the status is getting edited

wait so basically what youre trying to do is edit your status every minute so that its showing the time right?

if thats what im saying is right all you literally have to do is :

@tasks.loop(minutes=1) #this is the loop everything in there is gonna get looped
async def status_task():
    now = date.today()
    cst_time_zone = pytz.timezone('US/Central')
    now_cst = now.astimezone(cst_time_zone).strftime("%I:%M %p")
    await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.dnd, activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f"Time {now_cst}"))

My brain isnt functioning well today this should be right

Also 1 more thing that i think isnt right is the

now = date.today()

Im not a python programmer but it seems to me that this would only give you the Day of today correct me if im wrong ill look it up

i think what youre looking for is

Look into datetime a bit more and reassure yourself what you want is what you get

should be it if the date.today is right

alright then try it out

mb

you have to import this:

from discord.ext import tasks

dont forget to start the loop in on_ready

i see you havent written it above

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  client.status_task.start()
  print(f"Logged in as {client.user}")

the client.status_task.start()

you have to start the loop for it to work

[quaint epoch]

OR ```py
@tasks.loop(minutes=1)
async def foo():
await bot.wait_until_ready()
pass

foo.start()```

[cloud dawn]

Don't start a loop in on_ready.

[hybrid mural]

i guess it would be a problem if he were to have loops in cogs

[quaint epoch]

[vale wing]

For different guilds?

[vale wing]

Having loops in cogs is better

[hybrid mural]

of course

[vale wing]

Database

[hybrid mural]

i dont doubt that, i told him that aswell

[hybrid mural]

Guilds are Servers right?

[vale wing]

It would be like

| id | welcome_channel_id |```

[vale wing]

Those are the same things?

[cosmic agate]

guys i have a task, so i want to make a on_channel_create event, where if the channel is not created by the owner, it should be deleted

[hybrid mural]

basically yeah in the context of after joining a server it would write a message in the welcome channel

[hybrid mural]

apparently

[vale wing]

Well, finding who created the channel is kinda complicated

You would have to iterate through audit logs and find the correct entry

[hybrid mural]

on_guild_channel_create

on_private_channel_create

functions for that what you need

[hybrid mural]

or just basically if they dont have the "administrator" permission they shouldnt be allowed

[slate swan]

with open("/root/Textfiles/ongoing.txt", "r") as f:     
    lines = f.readlines()
    if str(ctx.author) in more than 5 lines:

Does anyone know how this line should actually be:

if str(ctx.author) in more than 5 lines:

"in more than 5 lines" is obviously incorrect, but idk the correct words for it

[hybrid mural]

make a count

[hybrid mural]

it might not work but try f.count(str(ctx.author))

[slate swan]

i did and it didnt work. in short: it would read 7 lines or more from the author before it actually did anything

[vale wing]

The "more than 5 lines" is a string or a list right?

[hybrid mural]

its the file

[slate swan]

its in the file

[hybrid mural]

a file with multiple lines basically

[slate swan]

every ctx.author is in a seperate line

[cosmic agate]

hm

[vale wing]

Ok got it

[slate swan]

then how would i do an if statement, so if its over the count of 5

[hybrid mural]

the str.count is an integer

it returns the number of how many times that element has been found in the string

[vale wing]

id = str(ctx.author.id)
if any(id in line for line in f.readlines()):
    ...```

[hybrid mural]

presuming it would be like

Totoro
juzzi
juzzi

[vale wing]

Perhaps you meant this?

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

similar

[hybrid mural]

Lets say this is the string

a = "12:13:14"

and i would do

a.count(':')

It would return 2 since the number of times the ':' has been found in the string is 2

[slate swan]

im trying to make it an if statement. is that not possible with the code you provided?

[vale wing]

Why can't you check if the content is in entire file

Why do you have to iterate through lines

[hybrid mural]

you could do that with the count

[hybrid mural]

It is

[slate swan]

idk how, but theres one ctx.author per line anyway

[slate swan]

well can u tell me how it would be then?

cause i dont get it

[vale wing]

Count is more expensive procedure than simple in

[hybrid mural]

its simpler aswell though

youre right ik but its one way i can think of

[vale wing]

Idk what can be simplier than this

if str(ctx.author.id) in f.read():
    ...```

[slate swan]

you really dont get it xD

[vale wing]

Maybe

[hybrid mural]

filelines = file

count = filelines.count(ctx.author)

if(count > 5):
  do something

i think

[slate swan]

i want to make an if statement like this, but in the correct words:

if str(ctx.author) in more than 5 lines:

[vale wing]

Oh wait got it now

Yeah the count is suitable for this case

Got confused by that in

[hybrid mural]

count just returns how many times ctx.author was found in the filestirng

[slate swan]

txt files welp

[hybrid mural]

and based off of that you should be able to start something

[slate swan]

this also got me confused, how can i implement it into this?

with open("/root/Textfiles/ongoing.txt", "r") as f:     
    lines = f.readlines()

[vale wing]

More compact

if f.read().count(str(ctx.author.id)) > 5:
    ...```

[hybrid mural]

there you go

[vale wing]

You don't really have to read lines, just read the whole file

[slate swan]

with open("/root/Textfiles/ongoing.txt", "r") as f:  
    if f.read().count(str(ctx.author.id)) > 5:

like this?

[vale wing]

And uh if you want to speedup you can but the solution would be a bit more complicated

[hybrid mural]

yeah .read = reads the whole file
.readline = reads one line at a time

[vale wing]

Yeah

[slate swan]

alright, let me try it out and i will update yall

[hybrid mural]

kk

@vale wing you are my syntax translator for python xd

i dont know python all too much still transitioning

[slate swan]

and readlines returns a list of lines

[hybrid mural]

forgot to add that

[vale wing]

Glad to help

[slate swan]

and using txt files for storing data isnt a good option too though

[haughty quartz]

i need ideas for a discord bot

[hybrid mural]

its a good start for new people

[hybrid mural]

you did tictactoe?

[haughty quartz]

nah don't wanna do tictactoe tho

[hybrid mural]

helps understand the newer additions from discord.py 2.0

alright

[slate swan]

wait......what

[hybrid mural]

not tictactoe 😳

[slate swan]

i meant txt files

[hybrid mural]

yeah

[slate swan]

its not good

[hybrid mural]

you recommend databases?

[vale wing]

Chess bot cuz why not

You will have a lot of nice time trying to figure out engine communications

[slate swan]

or json files for data that is less edited

[hybrid mural]

json files are alright

[haughty quartz]

uhh rather not

[hybrid mural]

trickier than txts

[haughty quartz]

i already have enough headaches

[vale wing]

You want a light project right?

[slate swan]

but not suitable to serve as databases

[haughty quartz]

maybe one that is cool and unique but somewhat lighter

[vale wing]

Random idea generator

[hybrid mural]

lmao

[slate swan]

I hardly think that unique is a thing now

[vale wing]

Hamburger builder bot

[haughty quartz]

lmao

[hybrid mural]

xd

[slate swan]

Why can i not use for loops in a discord command?

[slate swan]

there is boring/bored api ig, thats the name iirc

[haughty quartz]

you can

[slate swan]

it wont work for me for some reason

[haughty quartz]

code?

[vale wing]

Depends what you are using it for

for

[slate swan]

whenever i add a for loop in my command it just doesn't respond

[haughty quartz]

send ur code

[slate swan]

class UserAdd:
    async def addUserToDB(ctx, user, help="Add a user to the database."):
        if ctx.author.id == app().AuthDiscID:
            try:    user = int(user)
            except:
                await ctx.send(" Please provide a user ID.")
                return
            if len(str(app().AuthDiscID)) != len(str(user)):
                await ctx.send(" Please provide a user ID.")
                return
            for x in open("D:\\Gradient Bot\\src\\DB\\DB.txt", "r"):
                if user in x.strip("\n"):
                    await ctx.send(f" This user [{user}] is already added to the DB. ")
                    return
                else:   pass
            with open("D:\\Gradient Bot\\src\\DB\\DB.txt", "a+") as AddUser:    AddUser.write(f"{user}\n")
            await ctx.send(" Successfully added user [{s}] to DB. ".format(s=user))
            return
        else:
            await ctx.send(" You do not have permission to use this command. ")
            return

[vale wing]

Nice

You are iterating file

[slate swan]

DB.txt 😔

i added

            for x in open("D:\\Gradient Bot\\src\\DB\\DB.txt", "r"):
                if user in x.strip("\n"):
                    await ctx.send(f" This user [{user}] is already added to the DB. ")
                    return

and it wont work

[vale wing]

Hell

[slate swan]

yeah its temporary

[hybrid mural]

@slate swan Sometimes the easiest answer isnt always the best one

[vale wing]

You don't iterate file

[slate swan]

im going to use mysql when i actually use the bot

[hybrid mural]

And that sfine

[slate swan]

what

[hybrid mural]

let that sink in...

[slate swan]

what do you mean by this?

[hybrid mural]

syntax isnt right

[slate swan]

||SQL is easy if you know what you are doing||

[vale wing]

Not sure what you are trying to do but that makes no sense

[hybrid mural]

that famous if

[slate swan]

it checks through every line in the file if it contains the users ID

[vale wing]

You need to iterate file.readlines()

[slate swan]

if i put it in a for loop i don't

[vale wing]

And you are iterating file

[hybrid mural]

the file isnt a string until you read it into a string

[vocal plover]

Actually, iterating over a file opened as 'r' mode is equivalent to iterating file.readlines()

[vale wing]

Really?

[vocal plover]

yeah its a weird one

[vale wing]

Well didn't know

[slate swan]

the way im doing it is correct right?

[fathom garnet]

is anyone able to help me on a discord bot? i've followed a tutorial on how to make a bot but i don't have a help command. (i'm new to coding so help is really appreciated)

[vocal plover]

I'd probably still go for file.readlines() because its clearer what you're doing

[slate swan]

its just not working on discord.py

[vale wing]

The help about help commands is in pins, check them out

This

[grim oar]

You are matching integer ID with string ID present in your file

That should error, nvm.

[slate swan]

I just tried again and it still wont work

            with open("D:\\Gradient Bot\\src\\DB\\DB.txt", "r") as CheckDB:
                if  (str(user)) in CheckDB.readlines().strip("\n"):
                    await ctx.send(f" This user [{user}] is already added to the DB. ")
                    return
                else:   pass

or maybe the pass is causing the problem

[hybrid mural]

if this is correct what he said

you are just checking the first line in the file

[slate swan]

still wont work ^^

discord.py is weird it wont even tell me whats wrong

[grim oar]

readlines gives a list

[hybrid mural]

becaues of the try: except:

[hybrid mural]

no .read does

readlines = read a line

[slate swan]

it would've threwn me an error even if i didn't put it in a try statement

[vale wing]

The conclusion is: don't make .txt databases

[slate swan]

for test purposes its not bad.

im not going to make a whole sql db for testing purposes

[hybrid mural]

f.read() reads the file as an individual string, and so allows relatively easy file-wide manipulations, such as a file-wide regex search or substitution.

f.readline() reads a single line of the file, allowing the user to parse a single line without necessarily reading the entire file.

[vale wing]

Well that would be better if you did. Once you are done with testing, you could transfer some code you made during the tests without additional migration

[fathom garnet]

do i need to add each command manually to it ? or does it just make a list of commands that i have for me

[vale wing]

It is automatic

[hybrid mural]

i take that back

[slate swan]

this should work i don't know why it is not

[hybrid mural]

are you even getting into te function?

did you test that?

[fathom garnet]

i've added it to my code but i don't know exactly how to make it fully work , is there anything im supposed to edit?

[slate swan]

good choice

[slate swan]

Yes it works without the for loop

[hybrid mural]

the message i wrote not the reacted message

[vale wing]

The bot constructor

[grim oar]

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html#methods-of-file-objects

[slate swan]

but i just want it to check if the ID is already in the txt file

[vale wing]

@slate swan does your code throw any errors

[slate swan]

Nope

[vale wing]

And do you have an error handler?

[slate swan]

huh?

[hybrid mural]

this proves what now?

[slate swan]

No i do not i just fix errors for what the program throws

[vale wing]

Ok

[grim oar]

read what you said.

[hybrid mural]

im wrong in my statement im braindead

[vale wing]

I mean it should either throw an error or send a message in any way

[hybrid mural]

i thought u mean that readline itself returns a list

[vale wing]

Weird it doesn't respond at all

[hybrid mural]

and im braindead enough to say that .read does

[vale wing]

One question, how do you call this function

Is this meant to be a command or a function for operating with database

Cause it is not static and is missing self

[hybrid mural]

what is wrong with me

[slate swan]

i use different files for my commands.

[hybrid mural]

every minute you change your bots presence to the current time

[south brook]

#help-corn someone help

[hybrid mural]

do you get an error?

welp i see you still didnt run the task

[vale wing]

You don't have selfs at all

Non static methods must have self as first attribute

[cold sonnet]

what is that

[grim oar]

don't need self if the object is not being constructed

[slate swan]

async def addUserToDb(self, ctx, user: int, help="whatever idc"):
     if ctx.author.id != ...
          return
     if not isinstance(user, int): 
             return await ctx.send("gib id")
    #check length
    
     for line in open(path).readlines():
        if user in line: return await ctx.send("user in db")
   ```thats how you should have made it

[slate swan]

you don't need self

[hybrid mural]

you need to do a client.status_task.start() in the on_ready function so it would run

[slate swan]

I can do the loops, but it just don't work

every for loop i've tried it just doesn't work if i use it

[hybrid mural]

but you do get into the functionm

[vale wing]

Bruh that thing is complicated as heck

Just use cogs

[grim oar]

Is the program even getting to the loop? Because you just used strip on a list and it didn't error.

The conditions above it are probably why it's not getting there.

[hybrid mural]

whoops try status_task.start()

[slate swan]

I beg you to NOT do anything in the ON_READY event

[hybrid mural]

Hes not using cogs

[grim oar]

on_ready is apparently sent multiple times and changing status there can crash the bot

[hybrid mural]

oh yeah i see

then if its in main

just write it before the bot.run(token) and please dont show your token if you send the code

@slate swan

[quaint epoch]

imagine making an API call, or starting a task loop in on_ready, smh

[hybrid mural]

ay AY

everyone has their humble beginnings im still learning

[quaint epoch]

no

[hybrid mural]

Now do the same but not in on_ready, put the .start before your bot.run(token)

[quaint epoch]

it's preferred to do some_task.start() OUTSIDE of an event/command

[hybrid mural]

it should work aswell then

[hybrid mural]

Yeah my brain was stuck on on_ready because of cog issues

i didnt know loops could be started in the init and decided to just start them in on_ready

which i ofcourse changed

[quaint epoch]

you can just do ```py
@tasks.loop(minutes=69)
async def task_name():
await bot.wait_until_ready()
pass

task_name.start()```

[slate swan]

you could run a task before running your bot and you could add the wait_until_ready function at the top of the task

[hasty stump]

i want to create a channel when they react on my msg emoji

I know this is wrong channel but Idfk what channel to do

[hasty stump]

wdym?

[hasty stump]

create a random channel

you forgot to get the guild obj

[hasty stump]

oh wait what

i see

[hybrid mural]

Alright boys here comes my issue

[quaint epoch]

👀

[hasty stump]

but its still not opening a new channel

[quaint epoch]

really?

[grim oar]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add "discord.on_reaction_add"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

This requires [`Intents.reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.reactions "discord.Intents.reactions") to be enabled.

im getting error:

from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ExtensionNotLoaded: Extension 'cogs.gif_cog' has not been loaded.

🙂

[slate swan]

use the unicode version or it won't work

[quaint epoch]

which line?

[hybrid mural]

i think i have the bot.reload_extension wrong

[hybrid mural]

await bot.reload_extension(f"cogs.{ext}")

i probably have the cog names wrong

[slate swan]

print(req.json()["line"])
Key error: line

are you sure all those cogs were loaded @ startup?

[hasty stump]

still not opening the new channel

[quaint epoch]

hmm, is your cogs folder in the same dir as your bot script

[hybrid mural]

mhh they were added

if that helps xd

[hybrid mural]

So i have to load cogs after adding them?

[slate swan]

seems to me like that command is on his main file

[hybrid mural]

yeah

[slate swan]

so that shouldn't matter

[slate swan]

its not a list

[quaint epoch]

so maybe try r'./cogs/gif_cog'

because if cogs is a folder that might work

[hasty stump]

someone help me

[slate swan]

but the syntax discord.py uses to load an extension from a folder is .

[hybrid mural]

cogs is indeed not a folder i thought that had to be added

[slate swan]

it already parses it for you

[tidal hawk]

What's the problem?

[hasty stump]

here is the code but still not opening a new channel

[slate swan]

@hybrid mural just send a screenshot of your file structure real quick

[grim oar]

It's a list.

readlines returns a list

[slate swan]

there's your problem

[tidal hawk]

Does it register the new reactions?

[slate swan]

you don't have a "cogs" folder

[hybrid mural]

then basically .gif_cog

[quaint epoch]

it isn't stored in a cogs folder

[hasty stump]

i have added reaction by myself

[hybrid mural]

is what it should be right

[slate swan]

so you need to do reload_extension('{ext}')

just change that and try again

[tidal hawk]

put print('test') before message_id check and tell me if you see the test in console

[hasty stump]

this?

[tidal hawk]

yep

[slate swan]

me when someone doesn't actually use the debugger

[hasty stump]

okay

[tidal hawk]

xD

[hybrid mural]

same error

[swift acorn]

How do I put cooldowns on commands

[hasty stump]

no it dont

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[quaint epoch]

@commands.cooldown

[swift acorn]

well that looks simpler than I thought

[tidal hawk]

is the payload function inside a Cog or a main file?

[swift acorn]

thanks a lot

[hasty stump]

bot.py/main

[slate swan]

you're welcome

[hasty stump]

i havent made cog yet

[quaint epoch]

maybe try to do if '💼' in str(payload.emoji):

that's how i use my on_raw_reaction funcs

[tidal hawk]

it doesn't even print the test

So the listener doesn't even get executed

[slate swan]

have you actually checked his intents yet?

[quaint epoch]

is it in a cog or not?

[tidal hawk]

Nope

[slate swan]

it's the first thing to do when an event doesn't fire properly

[quaint epoch]

@hasty stump show us where your defined client

[tidal hawk]

@hasty stump

[quaint epoch]

that's the event, show us where you defined client

[hasty stump]

that?

[slate swan]

can't be intents then

[quaint epoch]

welp

[slate swan]

🤔

[quaint epoch]

did you put the event in a cog or class of any sort?

[hasty stump]

no there isnt any cog

[slate swan]

no because he's not using Cog.listener

[quaint epoch]

try this

[tidal hawk]

bruv, the print doesn't even get executed

[quaint epoch]

oh yeah

[hasty stump]

yes thats what i am saying

[tidal hawk]

Do you have the on_raw_reaction_add defined somewhere else?

[hasty stump]

yes

[tidal hawk]

Like do you have multiple of these

Well that's the problem

[hasty stump]

reaction role?

[quaint epoch]

maybe try to print all of the events that the bot has

[quaint epoch]

well

there's your problem

[hasty stump]

oh

how can i fix it then?

[tidal hawk]

merge them xd

[quaint epoch]

if you're going to use @client.event you can only have 1 of that event, so merge

[hasty stump]

but one is reaction role other one is ticket system

[tidal hawk]

You can use them both

[quaint epoch]

[hasty stump]

i have @client.event for role remove and bot online too?

also for welcome msg too

[quaint epoch]

well, let me word that better

[hasty stump]

okay sure

[tidal hawk]

Just

[quaint epoch]

if you want to have multiple of the same events, you'd have to use cogs, but since you are using @client.event you can't have multiple async functions of the same event, so the only solution is to merge

[hasty stump]

i will create whole ticket system under that?

[slate swan]

no that's not the only solution

you can have listeners outside of cogs...

[quaint epoch]

?

[slate swan]

!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...

[tidal hawk]

You can, but ofc there are prettier ways

[quaint epoch]

i thought you can only use them in cogs

[hasty stump]

i am new discord.py user so i tried once to setup cog but failed if u can assist me

[slate swan]

wrong assumption

[quaint epoch]

at least that's what a user here told me

[slate swan]

..on their side

[quaint epoch]

[slate swan]

@hasty stump change your @client.event's to @client.listen('on_raw_reaction_add')

[quaint epoch]

hmm, almonds taste sweet

[slate swan]

and then change both async function names to something else

[kindred drum]

em = discord.Embed(title="", color = discord.Color.gold())
                        em.add_field(name=items, value="""

how 😭

[slate swan]

jesus christ use f-strings

[quaint epoch]

f strings

[tidal hawk]

Hahahah

[quaint epoch]

please

[slate swan]

i died a little inside looking at that

[tidal hawk]

Did the... comment?

[hybrid mural]

hey guyds

[tidal hawk]

wasssup

[kindred drum]

I don't get why its wrong 😦

[hybrid mural]

imma need me some help

[hasty stump]

there but didnt created new channel

[quaint epoch]

if you wana do something like py code_to_eval = '\n' + code that's fine, but if you're going to get data from multiple dicts and insert it in different parts of a string, f-strings are the way to go

[cold sonnet]

just use \n

[kindred drum]

"hello" +code \n + "hello" code \n

[quaint epoch]

no

[cold sonnet]

and f-strings

[slate swan]

em = discord.Embed(title="", color = discord.Color.gold())
em.add_field(name=items, value=f"""
  Enterants: {str(len(Giveaway_Items[i]['Members']))}
  Winners: {str(Giveaway_Items[i]['Winners']))}"""```

that should work

[tidal hawk]

em.add_field(name=items, value=f'{len(Giveaway_Items[i]['Members'])} {Giveaway_Items[i]['Winners']}')

[quaint epoch]

[slate swan]

pep8 will remember this

[hasty stump]

who

[slate swan]

pep8.revenge()

[slate swan]

well just go fuck yourself then i suppose

[cold sonnet]

lmaooo

[hasty stump]

wrench help me

[slate swan]

lets see, it didn't create the channel

you did change the function names, yes?

[quaint epoch]

did you try my if statement?

[quaint epoch]

if '💼' in str(payload.emoji):

[hasty stump]

yes i suppose

[kindred drum]

em.add_field(name=items, value=f"""
Enterants: {str(len(Giveaway_Items[i]['Members']))}
Winners: {+str(Giveaway_Items[i]['Winners'])}"""```

[slate swan]

remove that space

[hasty stump]

worked

[slate swan]

also from now on, please avoid code screenshots

[hasty stump]

okay

[slate swan]

!code-blocks

[unkempt canyon]

how can i place the new channel under a category ?

can i sent it where i want?

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you need the [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.10)") of overwrites with the target (either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite") as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit "discord.TextChannel.edit") will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

[kindred drum]

thing was never closed

[slate swan]

yes but first you need to grab the object that represents the specific category

[kindred drum]

makes sense

[slate swan]

then you pass it to the category arg in the create_text_channel function

[quaint epoch]

Category.create_text_channel(name='thing')

[spring flax]

Use the category kwarg, it's in the docs above

[slate swan]

or do that

[quaint epoch]

!d discord.Guild.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

get_channel(channel_id, /)```
Returns a channel with the given ID.

Note

This does *not* search for threads.

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

[hasty stump]

oh

[quaint epoch]

yeah, you can get the Category with this

[slate swan]

that's not a kwarg

[hybrid mural]

do cogs have to have a setup function?

[slate swan]

all cogs have to have a setup function

[hasty stump]

OH

[hybrid mural]

isnt that the init

[spring flax]

Why not?

[slate swan]

i mean yes, init is a "setup function"

but what im talking about is

def setup(bot):
  bot.add_cog(Extension(bot))```

[hybrid mural]

Extension 'gif_cog' has no 'setup' function.

[slate swan]

It is a kwarg for GuildChannel.edit

[hybrid mural]

yes no prolem i have that

[hasty stump]

where should i add get_channel(channel_id, /)

[slate swan]

send me a screenshot of the code

[quaint epoch]

at the end, you get the category channel, and create the text channel with it

what? we're talking about category in guild.create_text_channel

Why isn't it a kwarg?

[hasty stump]

example

[slate swan]

my point is still valid

[slate swan]

a kwarg is used when you are unsure of the number of arguments to pass to a function

since you're creating only one text channel

Hey guys, Got a error on this one.

class accept_modal(ui.Modal, title = "Lets configurate your Server Profile"):
    answer = ui.TextInput(label = "Tell me the Name you Prefer", style= discord.TextStyle.short, placeholder = "Example: Distributor", required = False, max_length = 32 , min_length = 1)

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):

So basically i tried to do a select option it outputs a error someone know how to fix that?

[slate swan]

Yes, that too

[slim ibex]

what is the error

[slate swan]

no? more like *args and **kwargs

[slim ibex]

no. a kwarg is a keyword argument such as foo=10

[spring flax]

Where did you get this from?

[slim ibex]

*args and **kwargs are used when you want to accept an arbitrary number of positional or key word arguments

[slate swan]

more like to satisfy the argument with its name

@quaint epoch

[slate swan]

the error says it lol

[quaint epoch]

read the error

[slate swan]

category is a string as you can see

[quaint epoch]

and it needs a CategoryChannel obj

[uncut jacinth]

It doesnt Open the form because the selector is wrong

[quaint epoch]

not a string

[uncut jacinth]

How could i fix that

answer1 = ui.Select(options=[discord.SelectOption(label="1"), discord.SelectOption(label="2"),discord.SelectOption(label="3")])#

I need a selection in the form body

but this code doesnt Work that ive made, So could you give me a Idea

[hasty stump]

so i shouldnt use str at top ? near payload?

[quaint epoch]

when you passed Category = 'Application' that was incorrect, it expected a CategoryChannel object, instead it got a string

so pass the category obj

!d discord.CategoryChannel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel

class discord.CategoryChannel```
Represents a Discord channel category.

These are useful to group channels to logical compartments.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

x != y Checks if two channels are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the category’s hash.

str(x) Returns the category’s name.

get the category channel with this @hasty stump

[hasty stump]

where will i add that get_channel(channel_id, /)

[quaint epoch]

you can do it in the last if statement

just grab all the objects, and pass them in statements that require it

can you get me the code?

i am confused

yes

it is a channel

[spring flax]

Hm they should've made it get_category imo for readability

[quaint epoch]

you can fork the wrapper and make this the only change, if you want

[spring flax]

What are the internals for get_channel?

[quaint epoch]

you made a typo

[spring flax]

Is it discord.utils.get?

[quaint epoch]

idk

[quaint epoch]

remove the last bracket

[hasty stump]

oh daym

[quaint epoch]

i have lots of assignments to complete, cya

Do you know of a way to "restart" the bot (not terminating the connection itself)

[unkempt canyon]

os.execv

os.execv(path, args)``````py

os.execve(path, args, env)``````py

os.execvp(file, args)```
These functions all execute a new program, replacing the current process; they do not return. On Unix, the new executable is loaded into the current process, and will have the same process id as the caller. Errors will be reported as [`OSError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OSError "OSError") exceptions.

The current process is replaced immediately. Open file objects and descriptors are not flushed, so if there may be data buffered on these open files, you should flush them using `sys.stdout.flush()` or [`os.fsync()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.fsync "os.fsync") before calling an [`exec*`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.execl "os.execl") function.

sys.executable

sys.executable```
A string giving the absolute path of the executable binary for the Python interpreter, on systems where this makes sense. If Python is unable to retrieve the real path to its executable, [`sys.executable`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.executable "sys.executable") will be an empty string or `None`.

sys.argv

sys.argv```
The list of command line arguments passed to a Python script. `argv[0]` is the script name (it is operating system dependent whether this is a full pathname or not). If the command was executed using the [`-c`](https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-c) command line option to the interpreter, `argv[0]` is set to the string `'-c'`. If no script name was passed to the Python interpreter, `argv[0]` is the empty string.

To loop over the standard input, or the list of files given on the command line, see the [`fileinput`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/fileinput.html#module-fileinput "fileinput: Loop over standard input or a list of files.") module.

See also [`sys.orig_argv`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.orig_argv "sys.orig_argv").

Note

On Unix, command line arguments are passed by bytes from OS. Python decodes them with filesystem encoding and “surrogateescape” error handler. When you need original bytes, you can get it by `[os.fsencode(arg) for arg in sys.argv]`.

Does this work on heroku?

i cant find anything else lol

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.clear

clear()```
Clears the internal state of the bot.

After this, the bot can be considered “re-opened”, i.e. [`is_closed()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_closed "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_closed") and [`is_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_ready "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_ready") both return `False` along with the bot’s internal cache cleared.

[hybrid mural]

so cache gets cleared

then is_closed is false and is_ready is false

i could readd the cogs and then do clear

would be the most similar probably

[slate swan]

How can i see the output of
os.system("pgrep -f bot2.py")
This prints the PID of my second bot, but i don't know how to actually assign it to a variable

thanks. found this and it really helped https://janakiev.com/blog/python-shell-commands/

new version yes

I am confused

"If user failed, why are you doing user.name?" what do you mean

[austere vale]

async def giveaway(self, ctx, time, *, prize):
        
        giveawayembed = nextcord.Embed(
            title="🎉 New Giveaway! 🎉",
            color=0xfd9fa1
            )
        time=humanfriendly.parse_timespan(time)
        giveawayembed.add_field(name="Prize", value="{}".format(prize), inline=False)
        giveawayembed.add_field(name="Hosted by", value=f"{ctx.author.mention}", inline=False)
        giveawayembed.add_field(name="Ends in", value="{}".format(time))

        msg = await ctx.send(embed=giveawayembed)

how can i edit the "Ends in" embed so that it shows the time value that i put in? for example, if i put in 1m, it sets the embed to "Ends in 60" and just uses seconds only

[cold sonnet]

be a bit more consistent on those string usages

just a side comment

you have to remake the embed with a different third field

or...

embed.fields[2].name = "Not ends in" and then edit the message?

[hybrid mural]

i cant reload my cogs man wtf

[minor panther]

Guys pls read my problem :(((

[hybrid mural]

    await bot.reload_extension(gif_cog)

gif_cog.py is my cog and its in the same dir as the main.py and im getting this error:

[cold sonnet]

discord really is messing with u there

[cold sonnet]

more traceback

[slate swan]

bro why do you even respond to me

that was hours ago im not sure what point youre trying to prove

this is the full traceback

[slate swan]

only str has that attr

[cold sonnet]

oh the load extension takes an str yes

[hybrid mural]

so "gif_cog"

[cold sonnet]

it takes a path actually

yes

[hybrid mural]

gif_cog is in the same dir as main so

[cold sonnet]

should work

[hybrid mural]

then i get this: ```py

[austere vale]

what do you mean?

[slate swan]

should be the same name as the file if its in a folder add the folder name if its in the same dir its just the name of the file

[cold sonnet]

make the same embed but change the part that has to be changed

[hybrid mural]

im not sure if loaded means loaded by "add_cog"

[cold sonnet]

hm

might be something in the file

[austere vale]

umm what would that look like?
