Wym i dont get it

[glad cradle]

how could I make a dynamic menu with two buttons 'previous' and 'next' with callback, I would have to edit the webhook 10 times and it should go back and forth, how can I do this?

[hard trail]

It keeps giving me the Invalid user ERROR

[gilded zephyr]

Its ok nvm you answered my question

[light night]

https://mystb.in/LectureGibsonNurse.python
I am having an issue with this as it's only editing 2 buttons and not all 3, I plan on adding selects later on, so I must remove the buttons only on this and not touch the selects

for the print

<class 'discord.ui.button.Button'>
<class 'discord.ui.button.Button'>

dpy master btw

[gilded zephyr]

Thanks

[slate swan]

👍🫰

[hard trail]

I need assistance if anybody could help

[lone hare]

doing

[quaint epoch]

nope

but you can just await ctx.message.delete(seconds)

(in on_command_error)

[slate swan]

no

[quaint epoch]

no?

[slate swan]

just use the delete_after kwarg

[quaint epoch]

oh yeah

!d disnake.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

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

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

[slate swan]

bro

[slate swan]

Its delete_after

[vale wing]

I would done it in a more elegant way

Let's put your roles in a tuple in ascending order

roles = (nor, hc, gm)```
Then iterate through that tuple and do a simple check
```py
for i, role in enumerate(roles):
    if role in roles and role != gm:
        await user.remove_roles(role)
        await user.add_roles(roles[i+1])```

[slate swan]

[quaint epoch]

sorry

[vale wing]

This should work fine without those complicated condtitions

[hard trail]

Need urgent assistance here

discord.TextChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

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

[hushed galleon]

i think this might be caused by you mutating the children while iterating through it at the same time, as doing so can cause you to skip items

[quaint epoch]

mutating the children
In any other context I would've died

[hushed galleon]

lmao

[slate swan]

mutating the children 💀

[light night]

should i just do something like

[hushed galleon]

>>> x = [1, 2, 3]
>>> for n in x:
...   x.pop(x.index(n))
1  # for loop index is i=0 so 1 is popped
3  # index is now i=1, but the length changed so x[1] == 3
>>> x
[2]```

[light night]

children = self.children
for child in children:
            if isinstance(child, discord.ui.Button):
                self.remove_item(child)

this?

[hushed galleon]

no that doesnt copy the list of children

but you can store a separate list of the buttons you're planning to remove

[light night]

🤔 but that's the list of children.

[hushed galleon]

no, itd be a separate list

[slate swan]

i wonder why the list of components are called children and not components

[sly hamlet]

So I keep on getting that queued songs are not defined but I have them globally defined

[hushed galleon]

for example py def __init__(self, ...): self.buttons = (self.secretMessage, self.dmMessage, self.denied) # when you want to remove them, iterate through this instead

[light night]

this is literatetly the same thing

[hushed galleon]

no it isnt, self.children is modified by the View superclass directly

so when you call remove_item while looping through children you are mutating that list at the same time

[light night]

shouldn't this help with it tho?

[hard trail]

Why the hell is it not responding???

[hushed galleon]

assigning the list to a variable doesnt copy the list object

[slate swan]

yeah it just makes an instance of the list

you could do

[1, 2].copy()

or

[1, 2][:]

[slim ibex]

^

[hushed galleon]

i would still recommend explicitly defining which buttons you want to remove, offers more flexibility in the future

[twin flower]

I'm having problems with my balance command, apparently it's saying that "Result" does not have attribute "execute" and I don't know where the error's happening.

[slate swan]

it doesnt have that attr?

[twin flower]

I don't see where it does that tho

[light night]

I only want to remove buttons without needing to define them earlier

[hushed galleon]

well its probably on one of the lines where you write .execute inside your balance command, but preferably you should have your handler print the traceback somewhere too

[twin flower]

No I checked them, they all have "cursor = main.cursor()" right before them

[echo wasp]

hey, yall i have a question i have a class that isn't showing up in the help command if i don't remove it why? i can add another class and it pops up just fine

what this mean

[wide thunder]

what's the recommended discord.py fork with slash commands

[lone hare]

same issue when i use repl.it

cant run discord bot

[wide thunder]

show code

[vocal plover]

all of the major forks have them implemented, it's entirely up to you which one you want to use as it depends on opinion

[wide thunder]

we can't answer without it

;-;

[lone hare]

i am adding you as friend

[wide thunder]

no

[lone hare]

will send you soon sorry got something urgent right now

[wide thunder]

send here

[lone hare]

soon

[light night]

dpy master has slash commands 🙂
use that

[wide thunder]

no?

it doesn't have afaik

oh wait

wasn't the repo archived

[somber sky]

LOL

[abstract kindle]

can you reload cogs from different computers

or from a computer that the code is not hosted on I mean

[boreal ravine]

just use jsk to reload it

[abstract kindle]

Hmm

forgot I was using that. Jk, what is it?

JS Kabylie soccer club?

[torn sail]

Got unarchived recently

[boreal ravine]

https://github.com/Gorialis/jishaku

then do the following: ```
!jsk py await _bot.reload_extension("extension")

[wide thunder]

are they gonna update it then?

[torn sail]

It has slash commands already

[wide thunder]

how to use them

[abstract kindle]

wait, can I use jsk to edit code from a different computer????

[boreal ravine]

idts no

[abstract kindle]

:////

[wide thunder]

btw why self.loop not working in 2.0

[abstract kindle]

I really want to run my code on my pc that's always on and edit it on my laptop

[wide thunder]

loop attribute cannot be accessed in non-async contexts...

[boreal ravine]

you have to do ```py

OH

[boreal ravine]

hm

[wide thunder]

nvm i got it

[abstract kindle]

@boreal ravine what is the difference between jsk and my own reload command?

[sly hamlet]

So I have this embed description here how can I when it is putting all the titles have them on separate lines because right now it is putting them all on one line also is it at all possible to get rid of the [] as I also show up in the final result and don't look the best?

[boreal ravine]

try moving elif HC above the first if statement

[feral lichen]

that would cause an error?

elif can only be underneath a first if statement

im quite sure

[boreal ravine]

change elif to if

[feral lichen]

causes two messags to go off at once

[boreal ravine]

!return

[unkempt canyon]

Return Statement

When calling a function, you'll often want it to give you a value back. In order to do that, you must return it. The reason for this is because functions have their own scope. Any values defined within the function body are inaccessible outside of that function.

For more information about scope, see !tags scope

Consider the following function:

def square(n):
    return n*n

If we wanted to store 5 squared in a variable called x, we could do that like so:
x = square(5). x would now equal 25.

Common Mistakes

>>> def square(n):
...     n*n  # calculates then throws away, returns None
...
>>> x = square(5)
>>> print(x)
None
>>> def square(n):
...     print(n*n)  # calculates and prints, then throws away and returns None
...
>>> x = square(5)
25
>>> print(x)
None

Things to note
• print() and return do not accomplish the same thing. print() will only print the value, it will not be accessible outside of the function afterwards.
• A function will return None if it ends without reaching an explicit return statement.
• When you want to print a value calculated in a function, instead of printing inside the function, it is often better to return the value and print the function call instead.
• Official documentation for return

[feral lichen]

could you possibly implement that in the code? if not thats fine

[boreal ravine]

async def main(ctx user):
    if condition:
        return await ctx.send("promoted to ...")

    elif HC in user.roles:
        return await ctx.send("promoted  to general manager")
``` and so on

[feral lichen]

nope. same issue as before

god

[slate swan]

why use that horrible lib?

just use main if youre using dpy

[lethal bloom]

?

would you tell me how?

[slate swan]

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

[lethal bloom]

ok

[slate swan]

Did i do something wrong?

[lethal bloom]

ae

[slate swan]

well yes your arguments arent right

[lethal bloom]

you pass me the command to see if I help you

[slate swan]

the event only takes guilds

[slate swan]

its a event?

[lethal bloom]

?

[slate swan]

on_guild_join is a event not a command

[lethal bloom]

yes

a lol

[slate swan]

Clyde — Today at 7:41 PM
you pass me the command

its an event lmfao

[lethal bloom]

xd

[slate swan]

why even create a dm and then send a message just dm the member it will automatically make one?

Then this should be right or am I wrong?

see not a method

[lethal bloom]

send a message to the server and a message to the user by dm

[slate swan]

you missed all my point and i already know it.

[lethal bloom]

?

[slate swan]

so
await ctx.send(embed=embed)?

[slate swan]

does the event take Context?

the answer is no

[slate swan]

my point is to just dm the member it will automatically make one

[lethal bloom]

please help me

[slate swan]

can you tell me how to send it then?

[slate swan]

i already told you?

[keen lynx]

is it ok for bot with 1200+ server to take more time(5 to 10 min) in start?

[desert halo]

cringe

[desert halo]

Not okay

I think it should take about 40-50 seconds

Wellp, it depends on your database, algorithms idk

@lethal bloom join official discord py server to check new docs with buttons mate

if you want to see examples

[keen lynx]

it's a large bot big size of the script..

[desert halo]

I understand that man

But I think its not okay for your bot

start in 10 minutes

[lethal bloom]

what server?

[desert halo]

official discord py server

[keen lynx]

yeah i also think so something messed up

[desert halo]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_complexity

you can write a formula to your bot and find out how to short your starup

[lone hare]

hi

[keen lynx]

According to dpy helper it's ok if big bot take time in startup ..currently bot has file: 80 | line: 22,211 | class: 92

[lone hare]

hey you there ?

anyone knows how to host discord bot for free

?

[desert halo]

good to hear man

[keen lynx]

use relpit or heroku

[lone hare]

replit is not working in python

[slate swan]

no

[keen lynx]

both r bad not recommended for bot hosting

[slate swan]

replit has shared ips and heroku isnt for hosting bots

[lone hare]

huh ?

[lone hare]

so what to do

[keen lynx]

man i am currently hosting python bot on heroku

[lone hare]

yeah but it doesnt work idk why

it ends after 10 days i guess

[slate swan]

you could doesnt mean you should. why not use it? slow machines, etc and bad overall

[keen lynx]

its a personal bot and its fine to host small bot on platform like heroku or relpit

[slate swan]

how much guilds and members?

[keen lynx]

1 and 1

[lone hare]

i was having azure but it doesnt work

i mean free trial ended e

[slate swan]

its a personal private bot, he probably wants a public one

[keen lynx]

currently using gcp for my main bot. it's nice

[lone hare]

paid ?

[keen lynx]

yeah but its cheap and 6 month free if u r using gcp for first time

[slate swan]

nothing in life is free

[paper sluice]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/qenikumaye
how can i make this faster??

[slate swan]

not bad code, dont see much := all give you props on that

[echo wasp]

can a bot use a bot?

[paper sluice]

thanks!

[echo wasp]

and how would i make an event where it listens for a message sent by bot?

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[supple thorn]

Checl if the message author is a bot

[echo wasp]

so example?

[supple thorn]

Hold on

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.bot

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

returns bool just check if its true

if message.author.bot:
    ...

[echo wasp]

@bot.event()
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author.bot:
code```

something like that or bot.event

[slate swan]

no need for else just return

[slate swan]

if its a cog that is so

[supple thorn]

Damn

😔

[echo wasp]

thx

[slate swan]

you gotta be quicker mate

[echo wasp]

another question if i set the status on my bot to be offline if i run another instance and have status online will it over ride the offline and show online?

[slate swan]

it would probably override the status of the instance that was runned after the other instance

[silent ermine]

How do I get all the users with a specific role? like with the role unverified

and does it return a list ?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

property members```
Returns all the members with this role.

[silent ermine]

ty

[slate swan]

and yes the property returns a list

[echo wasp]

ok here is an example so this bot is ran with a minecraft server mod and it is marked online i want to have another session not with the same code marked offline running 24/7 so it only appers online when the minecraft server is running

[silent ermine]

so it would be users = discord.Role.members but how do i specify the role

[slate swan]

not quite you would need to get a instance of the Role object

[silent ermine]

oh wait users = self.bot.get_role(id here)
and then userMembers = users.members?

[slate swan]

just change the presence

[slate swan]

that is so

[silent ermine]

kk ty

[echo wasp]

well one is in a toml file and i can't touch that

[slate swan]

why exactly?

[echo wasp]

it is a mod for minecraft

and idk toml python language

[slate swan]

not a python language its a file ext

[echo wasp]

do you know how toml file works?

[slate swan]

a bit im not quite familiar

[echo wasp]

let me get you a haste bin with code

may i have the hastebin link

[slate swan]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[supple thorn]

I was looking through the docs to make sure i was 100% right

[slate swan]

[supple thorn]

Damn confidence

Curses

[slate swan]

😔

[echo wasp]

any idea on presence update?

in the toml file

[slate swan]

not really

[echo wasp]

do you know where i can find docs?

looks like disnake

@slate swan because i found this file and looks kinda like it

but i have no clue

[slate swan]

wish i could help but i have no clue sorry, never done something like that

[echo wasp]

any idea on where to get some help

[slate swan]

maybe #❓｜how-to-get-help

[echo wasp]

i din't even know if it is python all i know is it works like python with the \n thing

new line command

[slate swan]

How can my bot get the Hex and RGB of a given color?

[sick birch]

"Given color" how will the color be given?

[slate swan]

like -color red

[cursive barn]

There are a lot of shades of red each with their own hex code, do you maybe want to try giving the bot an image or reference to determine it from instead? Otherwise you have a million and one possibilities

[slate swan]

maybe try using an api that accepts names and returns hex and rgb codes

[sick birch]

If you want to do that you can define color to hex mappings

for example, off the top of my head, red would be FF0000

green, 00FF00, blue 0000FF

(i hope that's right)

[slate swan]

yeah you could but an api that uses a database could have way more hexcodes and color shades etc but it depends if he wants specific colors etc

i think im gonna try making an api with flask that uses a database

[sick birch]

That's what I do. I have an API middleman for my bot that interfaces with my database. I prefer doing it in js because I like the ORMs but python would work too

[final iron]

ORMs?

[slate swan]

yeah it would be better for an api to handle all the queries and strain the api server and not the bot but im just doing to learn mostly

Hey

[supple thorn]

a question how do you make a api?

[sick birch]

I like to think of discord bots as front end. They should only fetch information, and display them. nothing else. the heavy listing should be done by the backend

[supple thorn]

i never dabbled with making APIs before but it sounds fun

[sick birch]

object relational mappings. They let you interact with databases without writing nasty SQL queries, and present returned data in nice formats

[slate swan]

you could use flask or js or other things but its just really done with a server that has endpoints that fetch data

horribly explained btw!

[supple thorn]

Guess i'm using flask

i'm not learning js today

[slate swan]

flask is pretty easy

[supple thorn]

[sick birch]

For example, you might create a record in a users table in Prisma like so:

await prisma.users.create({
  first_name: "John",
  last_name: "Doe",
  age: 42,
  occupation: "database engineer"
]);

Much easier than writing an sql query

[slate swan]

yeah

[supple thorn]

would you have any resources for making API or just a general guide

[sick birch]

flask docs are good

[supple thorn]

oh god

[slate swan]

yeah just read their docs

[supple thorn]

docs my weakness

[slate swan]

its quite easy

[sick birch]

Though generally speaking javascript's paradigm is good for APIs

[pliant gulch]

Well javascript is a multi paradigm langauge

[slate swan]

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def home() -> str:
    return "hello world"

really is easy

[sick birch]

Yes, I mean it's event-driven so good for web development

Very generally speaking of course

[pliant gulch]

Sure, depends mostly on the function of the API although

[slate swan]

you need to run the app ofc so you would need to do flask run

[pliant gulch]

Like, there would be no reason to have an emitter & subscriber function or whatever, for an API that just returns random numbers

It would make sense however, to use emitters & subscribers for a chat based API

[sick birch]

That's a fair assesment

[pliant gulch]

pseudo random that is 😔 there is no real random when it comes to computers

[final iron]

Is there something like this in python?

[pliant gulch]

Yes, there is a prisma driver in python

!pypi prisma

[unkempt canyon]

prisma v0.6.3

Prisma Client Python is an auto-generated and fully type-safe database client

[final iron]

Looks cool

I'm probably too lazy to do it

[slate swan]

did you even checked its docs💀

[final iron]

And I don't really think it would be worth it for me on such a small scale

[final iron]

No but I already know SQL so I'm too lazy

[slate swan]

[final iron]

It would probably be more useful on a larger scale

[supple thorn]

pretty neat

[slate swan]

yeah it just returns html on a local host

[supple thorn]

yeah just used it on replit cause i don't think this chromebook will like using vsc and being in class

🗿

[slate swan]

i mostly use html templates and load them which it kinda sucks because the debugger cant detect changes on templates but this is my page not the home one its an endpoint @supple thorn

[echo wasp]

lol nope not in class but it doesn't run half bad if you enable linux and the gpu flag

i'm doing it rn

[slate swan]

dont mind the cat

[gilded zephyr]

What is this error called: Converting to "float" failed for parameter "amount".

At first I thought it was ConversionError, but apparently not...

[slate swan]

show your params

[gilded zephyr]

self, ctx, amount: float = 1

[slate swan]

it failed to convert the amount so just type hint it to an int

[gilded zephyr]

It raises when someone inputs something thats not a number

[echo wasp]

@slate swan I did this py @bot.event async def on_message(ctx, message):
and it doesn't like ctx or message because it only takes 1 not 2 but how do i send a responce

[supple thorn]

do message.channel.send

remove ctx

[echo wasp]

oh makes sense thank you

[slate swan]

yeah ofc it will just handle the error

[slate swan]

Streamer?

[gilded zephyr]

Yeah but what is the error called?

[slate swan]

yeah i stream myself programming sometimes!

[supple thorn]

where

[slate swan]

show full tb

Where??

YT!

[supple thorn]

which channel

[slate swan]

Goto profile

its in my about me

[gilded zephyr]

Nvm I found it. Thanks!

[slate swan]

1 day

[supple thorn]

🗿

[slate swan]

yeah its always at the start

[verbal breach]

First day in discord. Im trying to make a discord bot. Nothing is happening in the help channels i try. Through sifting on the internet i have a basic structure but its not working properly

[slate swan]

1 stream 1 day ago

[slate swan]

https://vcokltfre.dev/
this can help you out!

voice revel

[slate swan]

ive deleted most streams lol

[slate swan]

😳

[verbal breach]

Thank you okimii. Ill check it out.

[slate swan]

No sound stream

theres sound

[supple thorn]

where the hell did you find it

[slate swan]

Profile

[slate swan]

find what

[supple thorn]

i just see ily in okimii's bio

[slate swan]

Promotion

[pliant gulch]

I should stream some coding stuff too 😳

[supple thorn]

why don't i see that

[slate swan]

YES

[pliant gulch]

But knowing me I'd be procrastinating

[slate swan]

andy stream i would watch for sure!

Streaming coding is useless

[slate swan]

its fun to watch and i learn allot especially watching corey

his streams are fun to watch

[slate swan]

i would send the link but im not because advertising!

[supple thorn]

sadge i can't see the connections

[pliant gulch]

Hmmmm I won't stream, but tomorrow after work I can screenshare some coding

You can watch me code cursecord live

[slate swan]

YES!

that would be lovely to watch

[sick birch]

Where do you stream, andy?

[slate swan]

send link andy

[pliant gulch]

I'll probably screenshare in the rin discord

[slate swan]

stream on yt!

we can just join from your rich status

[pliant gulch]

Youtube is evil

[sick birch]

Lmao, streaming coding on twitch "coding n chill"

[supple thorn]

why

[slate swan]

you wanna stream on twitch aka the platform of simps

[pliant gulch]

Because I totally want to give google all my information just so I can watch cute cat videos

[slate swan]

you dont watch yt?

mr proton mail smh

[pliant gulch]

I use a cli program for youtube

[supple thorn]

lmao

[slate swan]

but yes its true yt takes allot of info

i was looking for domains and i keep getting ads to buy domains

[supple thorn]

make false information

[echo wasp]

ok so the bot is doing it weird py @bot.event async def on_message(message): if message.author.bot: if message == "BSG Server stopped": print('Successfull') await message.channel.send('worked') and the message matches the check why is it still failing the if check

[slate swan]

illegal

[slate swan]

youre comparing an object to a string

[supple thorn]

only if you're caught

[slate swan]

😳

[echo wasp]

let me print message and how do i make it a str?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

[slate swan]

returns a string

[pliant gulch]

I'll ping you tomorrow when I start Okimii, I won't have voice on though

[supple thorn]

flask is fun

well for now

[supple thorn]

ping me too

[slate swan]

but i want to hear your deep voice which is very deep!

[supple thorn]

i'll probably won't understand anything but i'll still watch

[echo wasp]

how do i use that with on_message?

[supple thorn]

message.content

[slate swan]

on_message takes an argument which is a message object so use it

[echo wasp]

oh

so compare message.content with the str

[slate swan]

yes youre comparing a string with another string

[echo wasp]

they are not kidding "Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that Bot does not have this problem." it is good to make 2 minute spam lol

[slate swan]

whos not kidding im so confused

[echo wasp]

the note in the api docs

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

[final iron]

His voice 😻

[slate swan]

well yes? member.Bot returns bool and only checks if the account is a bot account

[slate swan]

yes

[gilded zephyr]

How do I raise an error like this raise(commands.BadArgument) and add the arguments to it?

[echo wasp]

ik i was meaning the docs with the bot. i recommmend you never add an else to those checks lol

[slate swan]

why would you raise an error from the wrapper?

[slate swan]

well it depends on the situation

[gilded zephyr]

Actually youre right nvm lol

[echo wasp]

well any else will print and print and print if the bot sends a message to that channel that it is checking in

[slate swan]

you could just use on_command_error which it catches all errors raised by commands

[gilded zephyr]

Yeah, but then it makes it difficult to tell the user whats wrong

[slate swan]

the function has such a weird dir

[final iron]

!d discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.discord.ext.commands.on\_command\_error

discord.ext.commands.on_command_error(ctx, error)```
An error handler that is called when an error is raised inside a command either through user input error, check failure, or an error in your own code.

A default one is provided ([`Bot.on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error "discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error")).

[final iron]

🗿

[slate swan]

no they would know it raises the whole exception

[final iron]

Yeah ikr

[gilded zephyr]

Thats true

[slate swan]

you should hear my voice

[final iron]

I have

[slate swan]

i know you have😳

[slate swan]

i.e heres my on_command_error handler

pretty simple

[gilded zephyr]

Ahhhhh

[final iron]

Subclassed your help command yet?

[slate swan]

no😔

[gilded zephyr]

I have all this for my on_command_error:

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(self, ctx: commands.Context, error: commands.CommandError):
        await ctx.trigger_typing()

        if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound): # CommandNotFound
            return

        elif isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown): # CommandOnCooldown
            errorName = "Command Cooldown"
            errorMessage = f"Try again in {round(error.retry_after, 1)} seconds."

        elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument): # MissingRequiredArgument
            errorName = "Missing Argument"
            errorMessage = f"Argument `<{error.param}>` is missing."

        elif isinstance(error, commands.BadArgument): # BadArgument
            params = error.args[0].split('"')
            errorName = "Invalid Argument"
            errorMessage = f"Argument `<{params[3]}>` is invalid."

        else: # Unexpected
            errorName = "Unknown Error"
            errorMessage = "An unexpected error occured."
            warn(f"[!] {error}")

        errorEmbed = discord.Embed(title = errorName, description = errorMessage, color = 0xff0000)
        await ctx.reply(embed = errorEmbed, mention_author = False, delete_after = 10)
        await ctx.message.delete(delay = 10)

[slate swan]

let me change the title to CommandError

[final iron]

Get to it Mr

[slate swan]

never

[final iron]

Check my message in akeno 🗿

[slate swan]

i did

[abstract kindle]

@pliant gulch You around? I'm curious about the advice you gave me yesterday

class Database:
    def __init__(self, client: AsyncIOMotorClient):
        self.client = client

    async def find_one(self, collection: str, **params):
        return await self.client['discordbot'][collection].find_one(params)

I made this class so that I could have my MotorClient as a class with it's own methods so I didn't have to copy and paste the same line around everywhere to search through my DB.

I've added find_one, update_one, and find as methods for this class. However, if I wanted to just use one of the basic methods from the MotorClient itself, I can't anymore because I've made the client a Database object. Would I have to make all of the client methods into class methods?

For example, I can no longer do this

await self.bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users'].update_many({}, {"$set": {str(field): value}})

because self.bot.mongo_client is now a Database object and doesn't have .update_many()

Whereas the regular motor client does have it. Would I just make a second instance of the client that's not a Database object? I don't know if that's a good idea..

[verbal breach]

my thing finally works. Holy input praise the lord it works.

[slate swan]

youre trying to access methods from a super class? not sure what you meant tbh

[slate swan]

thats nice!

[abstract kindle]

Before I was running lines of code like this to access my DB:

await self.bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users'].update_many({}, {"$set": {str(field): value}})

But it was a pain to have to put in

self.bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users']

every time I had to access the db

So I wanted to do something like

db = self.bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users']

but andy suggested I make a database class for that

[pliant gulch]

self.bot.mongo_client.client["discordbot"]["users"].update_many(...)

[slate swan]

yes its a good idea

[abstract kindle]

I see...

So for one off lines that won't be replicated often I just do that

but for everything else, I should make class methods?

[slate swan]

why would you have a classmethod to return a db object?

[abstract kindle]

I'm not the best at python, but here's what I've got so far

class Database:
    def __init__(self, client: AsyncIOMotorClient):
        self.client = client

    async def find_one(self, collection: str, **params):
        return await self.client['discordbot'][collection].find_one(params)

    async def update_one(self, collection: str, search_key, search_value, mode, **params):
        return await self.client['discordbot'][collection].update_one({search_key: search_value}, {mode: params})

    async def find(self, collection: str, value: str, sort_order, limit: int):
        if sort_order == "descending":
            return self.client['discordbot'][collection].find().sort(value, pymongo.DESCENDING).limit(limit)
        elif sort_order == "ascending":
            return self.client['discordbot'][collection].find().sort(value, pymongo.ASCENDING).limit(limit)

This is my Database class, and I have that because I use those often

[slate swan]

ok

[abstract kindle]

It's been a bit of a hassle tbh

Cause like these are basically the default MotorClient methods, I just have them as class methods so I don't have to type the ['discordbots']['users'] every time. Should I be doing something different?

At the end of the day, I want to code efficiently

[slate swan]

does arent classmethods?

i see no classmethods in your Database class

[abstract kindle]

I'm probably using the wrong word

[slate swan]

yeah because classmethods is a method that affects the class and not instances

[abstract kindle]

I'm just a freshman in college, I've been teaching myself python

I see. Then those would just be methods?

[slate swan]

im a freshmen in highschool lol

[abstract kindle]

Welp

Everyone has their journey

[slate swan]

instances that are bound to a class instance

[abstract kindle]

Either way. Is what I'm doing efficient?

[slate swan]

youre making a database object that has methods that are customized for your use?

[sick birch]

I don't see anything inherently wrong with it.

[abstract kindle]

Just so I don't have to keep writing ['discordbots']['users'] every time

[slate swan]

ah

[abstract kindle]

I'd rather just store that as a variable

Instead of making an entire class for it

[sick birch]

I meant methods for common operations

[abstract kindle]

If I have code that runs a simple game and I update a value in the database many times, should I just use the basic method that comes with the Client?

Because those can get quite lengthy

[sick birch]

What basic methods are we talking about?

[abstract kindle]

Sorry for my terminology

But stuff like this

await self.bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users'].update_many({}, {"$set": {str(field): value}})

[sick birch]

Ah. I'm guessing you made mongo_client a bot var yourself?

[pliant gulch]

You could make a low-level method as well

[abstract kindle]

yes

async def main():
    with open('./data.json', 'r') as file:
        data = json.load(file)

    async def hook():
        bot.mongo_client = Database(AsyncIOMotorClient(data['mongo_url']))

    bot.setup_hook = hook

[pliant gulch]

class Foo:
    db: AsyncIOMotorClient

    async def query(self, col: str, function: str, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
        function = getattr(self.db[col], function)
        await function(kwargs)
```some pseudo-code

[sick birch]

Why not override setup_hook instead of nesting it?

[pliant gulch]

Would basically mean, ```py
await Foo().query("users", "update_many", foo=bar)

Actually, that doesn't make it much better

[abstract kindle]

Not sure, that was recommended to me to solve my problem, I'm still new to code.

[sick birch]

And yeah, I see you made a custom class wrapping motor

[pliant gulch]

Probably shouldn't do that

[sick birch]

Well, it works but not the best solution. "Flat is better than nested". Subclass commands.Bot, if you haven't already, and override setup_hook

[abstract kindle]

Issue is the **kwargs thing. I would have a hard time figuring out how to query the database with parameters

[pliant gulch]

Hell, if you only want to just shorten accessing the column couldn't you just do bot.mongo_client = AsyncIOMotorClient["discordbot"]?

[pliant gulch]

Not working code^

[abstract kindle]

await self.bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users'].update_many({}, {"$set": {str(field): value}})

in this, it's much easier for me to write out {"$set": {str(field): value}} than it is for me to try and do that with parameters

[abstract kindle]

Probably, I was thinking about that too

[abstract kindle]

the setup_hook code that's in those files in my module?

Like I can edit them but it asks me if I really want to first lol

[slate swan]

you could just make an instance of a class and you just pass the indexes to the params of the class and you can just use them in every method

[sick birch]

Oh no no

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
  def __init__(...):
    ...
  async def setup_hook(...):
    ...

You can move everything from your main() to there

Including

    with open('./data.json', 'r') as file:
        data = json.load(file)

[abstract kindle]

Ahh I'm such a noob still. I also have code for checking / reloading cogs in my main file. That's probably a bad thing isn't it.

[sick birch]

Nah. Nothing really wrong with that

[abstract kindle]

I see most open source bots have really small main.py files

[sick birch]

Actually, one could argue putting critical functionality like cog reload unloading in your main file is a better way to organize thing

[abstract kindle]

I figured I can't reload Cogs if the code to do so is in a Cog

[sick birch]

Hence the checking?

To make sure the cog that unloads reloads other cogs isn't unloaded

[abstract kindle]

Yeah lol. Not sure what other option there is

[sick birch]

Move that out of an extension, that way it can't be unloaded or reloaded

[abstract kindle]

I'm basically just lookin for the easiest way to query my database without having long long lines of code like this

user_in_database = await self.bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users'].find_one({"_id": ctx.author.id})```

[sick birch]

Does all of your queries have the discordbot users part?

[abstract kindle]

And they get even longer when using stuff like ['update_many']

For the most part yes. I only use one database and one whatever you call it. Collection?

[sick birch]

Hm. You could just put that in a variable, I'm sure you've thought of that already

x.find_one(...)

[abstract kindle]

Yeah. However, I tried putting the whole ```py
await self.bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users']

in a variable, and it said that a coroutine object doesn't have attribute `find_one()`

Maybe that's a me issue

[sick birch]

Hmm

.find_one() is the coroutine

Not mongo_client

[abstract kindle]

So I wouldn't put await in the variable?

[sick birch]

No

[abstract kindle]

And then I would just do await x.find_one(...)

[sick birch]

You got it

[abstract kindle]

I'll try it. Then I wouldn't need this entire Database class

Where would I put that variable? If it's in a Cog let's say

I wouldn't put it in each command, right?

[sick birch]

Best to bind it to your bot instance

[abstract kindle]

Ah, in the main file?

[sick birch]

Right

self.bot.x.find_many()

Still kind of long but better than before

If you want to shorten it even more you could create a custom context and do it that way

ctx.db.find_many()

[abstract kindle]

Yeah I was just gonna say it's still self.bot.x

Custom context?

[sick birch]

Yes. The ctx provided to you on commands can be modified to your liking

[abstract kindle]

Where would I modify that?

[sick birch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/custom_context.py take a look at this

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

property members```
Returns all the members with this role.

[sick birch]

What's up?

Well, what are you trying to do?

That's the best way to do it, better learn

Oh. Yeah, just use that property then

Tutorials on reading docs... can't think of any. It's a skill you pick up as you go

[slate swan]

!e

class D:
    def __init__(self, *indexes: tuple[int, int]) -> None:
        self.index0, self.index1 = indexes
    
    def get_data(self) -> int:
        return {1: {2: 3}}[self.index0][self.index1]

print(D(1, 2).get_data())

@abstract kindle is this how you would like your class to be or what exactly would you like?

[unkempt canyon]

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

3

[abstract kindle]

Interesting. So it would look like

class MyContext(commands.Context):
  self.x = bot.mongo_client['discordbot']['users']

and then I just set my bot to use this context instead?

[sick birch]

Not quite. You need functions

No offense to you, but memorizing is one of the worst ways to learn

[abstract kindle]

Mm. Also would this overwrite the normal ctx? cause that is something I use often..

[sick birch]

It adds on to it, yes

[abstract kindle]

Oh cool!

[lament mesa]

What is this new modal thing?

are there any videos demonstrating it?

[abstract kindle]

@sick birch If I was to just go with the self.bot.x.find_one(...) route, would I put the assignment for that variable under the hook() thing I had?

I don't want to overcomplicate things too soon for myself, I find that it adds multiple hours of coding and trying to figure out what I did wrong and I never get what I initially planned to done.

[sick birch]

The same concept yes, but move it into the subclass

[verbal breach]

ok, so i got my bot to work. I want it to be able to take links as input from messages. I see solutions for how to scan if there IS a link in a message. But i want to be able to take those links from messages and store them in a variable for further use. Any thoughts?

[abstract kindle]

Does that subclass go in main? Do people usually put it there? or would they have it in a class library file?

Or did I make up class library files lmao

[sick birch]

It can go in main. It makes sense to put it in main anyway

[abstract kindle]

Probably under imports like that example showed

[sick birch]

If you want to, however, you can have a bot.py file containing the subclass. In main.py, import the subclass, instantiate it, and run it

That way your main file will be around 3 or 4 lines

[abstract kindle]

That includes all of my Cog reloading stuff too?

[verbal breach]

My bot being able to take entire links and only the links from messages is the most crucial part of it.

[sick birch]

Ehhhh

Doesn't make sense to put cog reloading in bot.py

[abstract kindle]

Okay

[sick birch]

I suggest looking into regexes and matching

[verbal breach]

hm , whats the methods/properties and how do i use them?

[sick birch]

The re library, and specifically the match() function

[vale wing]

You need to learn regex generally first I'd say

[sick birch]

Nah. Here's one to match links: http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+]|[!*\(\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+

[verbal breach]

So uh. Where do i start with that?

[vale wing]

Hell

[sick birch]

Thank me later for saving you the pain of learning regex

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy

[slate swan]

but you wish it on me

[sick birch]

Did I?

[slate swan]

yes😔

[sick birch]

Oh. My sincerest apologies 😦

[verbal breach]

can you gave a small coding sample of how it would fit into some code? Im still baby cheeks new at this…

[slate swan]

all good

[vale wing]

@verbal breach if you just need to extract link use the pattern @sick birch sent, if you would want to learn about regex more, you can use this resource https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_regex.asp

[slate swan]

i hate w3 school

its explanations are horrible

[vale wing]

What's so bad about it

[slate swan]

i personally use it sometimes but its not a good source at all

[sick birch]

w3 schools is iffy, the official docs are better if you can stomach it https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html

[slate swan]

yes

[verbal breach]

first time w3 helped with it’s example.

[vale wing]

When I was learning regex I went to official docs first too and didn't understand a single thing so uh preference

[vocal laurel]

anyone know hot to do slash commands or just commands with sapces?

[sick birch]

Not possible

[vocal laurel]

what

can i dm u smth

[sick birch]

It's not possible to have commands with spaces in them. Unless you're talking about groups or subcommands

[vocal laurel]

cuz i cant send here

[vale wing]

Unless you do a bunch of subcommands but that would be weird

[sick birch]

Why not?

[vocal laurel]

its an image

[sick birch]

Still should be able to send images here

[vale wing]

However message and user commands names can contain spaces

[vocal laurel]

here

[sick birch]

That's a subcommand

[vocal laurel]

oh

[verbal breach]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  txt = message.content
  x = re.search("http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+]|[!*\(\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+", txt)
  link = (requests.get(x).text)

[vocal laurel]

how to do?

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=group#discord.ext.commands.Bot.group

[verbal breach]

is this code viable?

[sick birch]

Should be

Give it a whirl

[verbal breach]

puggin’

[vocal laurel]

whirl?

[vale wing]

I don't remember certainly but I think you need to do x.match() to get the actual string

[supple thorn]

try it

[vale wing]

I might be confusing it so try it out by yourself

[supple thorn]

that's what "give it a whirl" mean

[vocal laurel]

what how to do sub commands iwht discord.py

[abstract kindle]

thanks for helping me out Robin

[vale wing]

And yeah don't use requests in an async application, you can use aiohttp

[vocal laurel]

so how to do sub commands with spaces?

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.group

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.group

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

[verbal breach]

Do I literally just replace requests with aiohttp or do i have to do more.

[vale wing]

A bit of more

[vocal laurel]

@client.command()
async def help_moderation(ctx):

see i want to get rid of the underscore

[verbal breach]

ill try requests anyway

[vale wing]

Check the client quickstart in their docs, I think you will get what you need to change

[verbal breach]

i just have to attach my existing program to it.

[vocal laurel]

so how to get rid of underscore?

[verbal breach]

i hope my ipad doesnt explode in my face.

[slate swan]

nice

[vale wing]

Make a help command group and make moderarion its subcommand

[vocal laurel]

how to do that?

[vale wing]

Although you'd better sublcass the help

[bitter perch]

no

subclass HelpCommand and then add it.

[vocal laurel]

how to make a sub command?

[somber sky]

idk how to explain it but is it possible to make the emoji the thumbnail?

[supple thorn]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-do-i-make-a-subcommand

[somber sky]

like this

[supple thorn]

searched everywhere just for you

[slate swan]

copy the url of the emoji

[somber sky]

its not 1 role

[slate swan]

"just for you"

[somber sky]

theres multiple roles

[vocal laurel]

@bot.group()
async def git(ctx):
    if ctx.invoked_subcommand is None:
        await ctx.send('Invalid git command passed...')

@git.command()
async def push(ctx, remote: str, branch: str):
    await ctx.send('Pushing to {} {}'.format(remote, branch))

this?

[slate swan]

huh?

[supple thorn]

well yes

[supple thorn]

that is an example

[somber sky]

its a football team list

theres like 8 teams

i cant put 1 link

[vocal laurel]

still dont get it

[somber sky]

i need it to find it by the emoji

or somethin

[supple thorn]

okay

\🗿

[vocal laurel]

?

[vale wing]

embed.set_thumbnail(url=emoji.url)```
Basically

[vale wing]

If I understand correctly, each role has a linked emoji or smth

[slate swan]

!d discord.Emoji.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Emoji.url

property url```
Returns the URL of the emoji.

[somber sky]

yes

[slate swan]

ic

[vale wing]

Forgor that url is a kwarg

[somber sky]

theres like 8 different teams and each team has a different emoji to it

so i want the thumbnail to be the emoji i put

[vocal laurel]

so i do

@client.group()
async def help(ctx):
  pass
@git.command()
async def moderation(ctx):
  pass

like that right?

[verbal breach]

HOLY [curse word] IT WORKS! I think?

[supple thorn]

no

[vocal laurel]

then?

[verbal breach]

i have to test it first

[supple thorn]

since your command is named help it's @help.command()

[vocal laurel]

how to do?

of

[supple thorn]

also i suggest looking into subclassing help
https://gist.github.com/InterStella0/b78488fb28cadf279dfd3164b9f0cf96

[vocal laurel]

k

[vale wing]

Store them in key-value structure or a database if you know how to and get emoji id based on role id

[verbal breach]

nope doesnt work. I guess i do need aiohttp

[slate swan]

whats the issue?

[native wedge]

how do i make it so when a specific user talks it gives them a role

[slate swan]

use the on_message event and fetch/get the role and assign the messager the role

[verbal breach]

TypeError: on message () takes O positional arguments but 1
was given

[slate swan]

show your on_message constructor

[verbal breach]

All of them dont have anything in () though but ok

[abstract kindle]

        elif isinstance(error, Unregistered):
            channel = self.bot.get_channel(ctx.channel)
            await ctx.send(f"You must be registered to use this command. Register in {channel.mention}")

        elif isinstance(error, discord.ext.commands.errors.CheckFailure):
            print(f"User {ctx.author.name} brought up {error} with the command {ctx.command}.")

How come my error handler is defaulting to the bottom one

[slate swan]

bottom one?

[abstract kindle]

def registered():
    async def predicate(ctx):
        result = await ctx.bot.db.find_one({"_id": ctx.author.id})
        if result is None:
            raise Unregistered("Not registered!")
        return True

    return commands.check(predicate)

The bottom isinstance

[verbal breach]

async def on_message():
  txt = message.content
  x = re.search("http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+]|[!*\(\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+", txt)
  link = (requests.get(x).text)
  def runAlg():

everything below that is the defined algorithm for my thing

Well, not EVRYTHING but you know what i mean.

[slate swan]

the event takes a message argument which acts as a discord.Message object

[verbal breach]

but it says 0 arguments are needed….

[slate swan]

and defining a function every message is a waste of resources, and making it synchronous....?

[slate swan]

read the error again

[verbal breach]

TypeError: on message () takes O positional arguments but 1
was given

takes 0 positional arguments u

But one was giving

[slate swan]

async def on_message(message):
     ...```

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[verbal breach]

so uh….what do i do with my code then?

i feel that im at a dead end now.

[slate swan]

pass an argument to the on_message function

[verbal breach]

like on_message(message)?

[slate swan]

yes

[abstract kindle]

I'm very confused. For some commands, an unregistered user brings up my Unregistered error, and other times, it just brings up the CheckFailure error

[slate swan]

can you show what Unregistered is?

[abstract kindle]

class Unregistered(commands.CheckFailure):
    pass

Some commands it works, some it doesn't

[slate swan]

well

[verbal breach]

im not getting any errors.

so thats good

[abstract kindle]

For example this command:

    @in_game()
    @registered()
    @commands.command(aliases=["hl", "highlow"])
    async def high_low(self, ctx, bet: int):
      ...

Brings up the error properly.

    @registered()
    @commands.command()
    async def beg(self, ctx):
      ...

This one brings up CheckFailure

indentation is right tho

[slate swan]

ic

idk im clueless

[verbal breach]

all i have to do is check all paths and i should be….relativly good

[lament mesa]

i think that the order is wrong

[slate swan]

decorators can be in any order

iirc

[rough coral]

uh sorry, so i can ask something about discord bot development here?

[lament mesa]

yes, but the return value of one decorator is passed into the other

[abstract kindle]

Interesting...

Because with my command with in_game() and registered(), both of them work

but with the other one, it doesn't

[slate swan]

yeah the return type of one deco gets passed to the other

[lament mesa]

!e ```py
def foo(obj):
print(obj)

def bar(func):
print(func)
return "Hello world"

@foo
@bar
def test():
pass```

[unkempt canyon]

@lament mesa :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | <function test at 0x7f985cce4ca0>
002 | Hello world

[lament mesa]

the string "Hello world" has been passed into foo

[slate swan]

never understood decorators

[abstract kindle]

How come it works for this then?

    @in_game()
    @registered()
    @commands.command(aliases=["hl", "highlow"])
    async def high_low(self, ctx, bet: int):
      ...

[lament mesa]

just function wrappers

[slate swan]

i know that

[slate swan]

sure

[lament mesa]

hmm

[rough coral]

Im making a discord music bot, from this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHZlvRr9KxM

[slate swan]

!ytdl cant help

[unkempt canyon]

[lament mesa]

normally the check decorators come first
https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/bot/exts/moderation/infraction/infractions.py#L185-L186

[unkempt canyon]

bot/exts/moderation/infraction/infractions.py lines 185 to 186

@command(aliases=["mute"])
@ensure_future_timestamp(timestamp_arg=3)```

[lament mesa]

dunno if that changed in v2.0

[slate swan]

just functions that wrap other functions which they change the decorated functions behaviour which they get executed from bottom to top

[lament mesa]

the last version i used is 1.7

[abstract kindle]

Yeah, I thought they came first

[rough coral]

wdym

[abstract kindle]

I just updated to 2.0, but I still had this issue in 1.7

[slate swan]

Uhh i know but nvm i barely used decorators in any of my programs

[vocal laurel]

hey

[slate swan]

[abstract kindle]

Even if I switch the order it still doesn't work

[vocal laurel]

am back

[slate swan]

ytdl breaks youtube's TOS

[vocal laurel]

can someone help with the subcommands

[rough coral]

oo

i forgot ahahahah

[verbal breach]

await outside of asyn function

[slate swan]

which if you break a platforms tos on discord youre breaking their tos

[rough coral]

So i need to use what?

[slate swan]

you cant await a coroutine outside of one

[boreal ravine]

This tutorial is so bad

[slate swan]

^

[boreal ravine]

he doesn't even explain what the code does

[abstract kindle]

This is so wierd

[lament mesa]

if it works it works™️
who needs an explanation? \s

[slate swan]

like any tutorial

[rough coral]

yeah, im just copying

[slate swan]

idk if you can

[verbal breach]

alright so big brain i just deleted the

[abstract kindle]

I'm so confused as to why the Error handler works for commands in one file only

[verbal breach]

await

[rough coral]

i forgot that rythm down cuz of youtube

[lament mesa]

hmm, try implementing the logic of both of those decorators in one

[slate swan]

thats true, why waste time for explanation when you can get the code

[lament mesa]

yes yes

[slate swan]

but still, he isthe only one other than carberra i found to be using mongoDB for levelling purposes

[rough coral]

me :

[lament mesa]

imagine refactoring and optimizing code

[rough coral]

just kidding, learning new code is cool

[abstract kindle]

But like, the decorators work fine for one command

[slate swan]

no

[abstract kindle]

For one command, they bring up Unregistered as the error

and for another, they bring up CheckFailure and CheckFailure sends the error Not registered

def registered():
    async def predicate(ctx):
        result = await ctx.bot.db.find_one({"_id": ctx.author.id})
        if result is None:
            raise Unregistered("Not registered!")
        return True

    return commands.check(predicate)

[slate swan]

new code isnt a thing, its all the same thing but at a different level

[abstract kindle]

Like that's what this does... but it's bringing up CheckFailure and not Unregistered

[verbal breach]

Ah, well, it doesnt work…..

[rough coral]

yep

[verbal breach]

I put in a link. Send message. No errors pop up in bot. But nothing happens either….

[abstract kindle]

Ran the debugger. It looks like it goes to

elif isinstance(error, Unregistered):
  ...

and then it jumps down to

elif isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
  ...

So wierd

[lament mesa]

both elif statements are executing?

[verbal breach]

https://replit.com/@DefenderPug

[abstract kindle]

No. It goes from the top one and jumps to the bottom one

In the command where it does work, it executes the top one and doesn't go down

[verbal breach]

this is what im trying to run. But instead of doing printing things in the console. It messages discord as output

[abstract kindle]

wtf is this

[verbal breach]

it scans videos if they’re rick rolls or not.

thats what ive been trying to do with my bot this entire time.

[abstract kindle]

Oh no I was saying wtf to my errors

[verbal breach]

ill make another bot in the process while i virtually beat tf out of other bot for not working properly.

Screw you…..my…bot

[slate swan]

so like im tryna verify this bot but very confused on this part

..

[supple thorn]

Are you trying to check if their level is higher than 60 or 70?

Higher than 60 and lower than 70?

Okay

[slate swan]

elif lvl_end > 60 and level_end < 70:
  ...

[supple thorn]

It should be like this then

if lvl_end > 60 and lvl_end < 70:
    ...

[supple thorn]

FUCK

[slate swan]

lmao

[supple thorn]

This is why i like dms

😔

[slate swan]

lol

[supple thorn]

I was even typing fast for it

Then i saw "Ashley is typing..."

[slate swan]

lmao

I swear I was typing with one hand

[slate swan]

if lvl_end in range(60, 70):    ...

ugh

[supple thorn]

Okimii coming here beating us with their code

[slate swan]

I'll just leave until okimii leaves

[verbal breach]

hmmm

any game ideas for a bot?

[slate swan]

bingo

[boreal ravine]

go sleep

[verbal breach]

i dont know how to store variables online yet though…

[slate swan]

i need to shower i have no life

[boreal ravine]

Tetris, 2048, Candy Crush

[verbal breach]

I literally cant do anything with a visual ui. Only text

[supple thorn]

2d multiplayer game

[verbal breach]

even then. I kinda need to learn

[slate swan]

better get to learning how to subclass View

[supple thorn]

You can make a game with multiple choices and endings with only text

That's easy to code but takes a shit ton of time

[boreal ravine]

that's not what they were talking about

[verbal breach]

i need to first figure out

[boreal ravine]

just do it then, most games on discord are text based (maybe some images included) anyway

[slate swan]

he said he couldn't do anything with stuff related to uis a game with no ui seems boring

[verbal breach]

if your (user) show data for this user

I just need to know how to get a bot to store information for anyone who plays it. And shows only THEIR data for when that user gets on.

[boreal ravine]

still, not what they were talking about visual ui != ui.View

[boreal ravine]

use a database

[slate swan]

hes making a discord bot bro what else would you use🗿

[verbal breach]

what if……lets say i have x = 10 for the most basic example. But everytime the bot runs again….it

theres nothing to set variable again.

it only changes what already exists.

would it still revert to x equalling 10?

[slate swan]

pardon?

can i get an example on what you mean exactly

[verbal breach]

i dont know how to explain any further

[slate swan]

do you mean on each runtime a variable has a value that will always reset?

!e

x = 10
print(x)
x = 5
print(x)

you cant revert it back ig

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | 10
002 | 5

[slate swan]

really depends on the scope of the variable

if that is what you meant

yeah that too

[verbal breach]

the exact opposite actually. It originally sets a user’s variables to whatever it

Itll be in the beginning. But after that. It doesnt reset whenever its run

[slate swan]

a database.

[verbal breach]

ok so…..i just have to make one…

[slate swan]

yes

[verbal breach]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/collection/main/class/Collection

is this it?

[slate swan]

sorry but, discord.js is a discord api wrapper for javascript

[verbal breach]

so….what do i do.

[slate swan]

use a database...

[verbal breach]

where…

[slate swan]

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/sqlite/sqlite_python.htm SQL's Database
https://www.mongodb.com/basics/mongodb-atlas-tutorial Json-Based Cloud Database
https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/ - SQL's Database

[verbal breach]

Time to start cramming knoledge…

[slate swan]

you can choose any of those

I prefer learning SQL since its really helpful

okay so im trying to verify my bot and it says i need a All apps must have a Terms of Service. Add one here. is what it says .

[slate swan]

you need to have tos for your bot

[verbal breach]

uhhh….ill stick with a normal server bot for now 🤯

[slate swan]

but like on where .

probably in the applications info

[slate swan]

it takes me to this tho

[jolly karma]

hello

anyone here?

[slate swan]

yeah?

[slate swan]

you have to create a webpage listing your bot's TOS and host it somewhere

[slate swan]

sighs alright

[jolly karma]

so um i wanna make my bot play an audio

[slate swan]

it is what it is, you gotta do what you gotta do 😔

[jolly karma]

how do i do it

https://tenor.com/view/nom-tik-tok-kitty-cat-cat-biting-gif-18162240

[slate swan]

lmao

[jolly karma]

send help

yeah

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/950041137941479424/960055993142755360/926096074672840714.gif

[slate swan]

!d discord.FFmpegPCMAudio you could use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.FFmpegPCMAudio

class discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(source, *, executable='ffmpeg', pipe=False, stderr=None, before_options=None, options=None)```
An audio source from FFmpeg (or AVConv).

This launches a sub-process to a specific input file given.

[slate swan]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63036753/discord-py-bot-how-to-play-audio-from-local-files this is pretty much what you would want

[jolly karma]

um so it like plays an audio from my bot files?

[slate swan]

yeah...

depends if they are using replit....?

[jolly karma]

um how do i find the location of the audio from a repl ;-;?

https://tenor.com/view/koopagode-gif-23027684

me = dumb

[slate swan]

just like normal paths

[jolly karma]

ah ic

[slate swan]

yeah

[jolly karma]

idk why my repl.it logs me out every time ;-;

yea

its hard to use repl.it on phone

desktop

[slate swan]

cogs/
  events.py
  moderation.py
ext/
  uwu.mp3
  new.mp3
bot.py

./ext/uwu.mp3 will be the path here

[jolly karma]

nah

[jolly karma]

lmao uwu/mp3

btw how do i download

||never gonna give u ☝️ put by sir rick astley||

isnt that illegal?

[slate swan]

breaks youtube tos 🤷

it depends what you do with the downloaded video

it could possibly be illegal

[jolly karma]

ill just play rick roll 24/7 in my server lol

[slate swan]

technically, the creator could sue for loss of earnings

since you're downloading there video which leads to less watch time etc..

[jolly karma]

i dont think anyone gonna hear to rick roll for that long

[slate swan]

your bot wouldnt be online 24/7 with replit

[jolly karma]

yeah ik but i am using stuff

[slate swan]

stuff

[jolly karma]

idk why do ppl use uptime robo

[slate swan]

uptimerobot

[jolly karma]

when they can self host

[jolly karma]

nop,self host

;-;

[slate swan]

everybody cant self-host

[slate swan]

they don't wanna burn there pc
