discord-bots

[slate swan]

events work in my bot in events.py and then i import them in my main bot and then i just do

@client.event
async def on_message():
    sussy(client, message)

[hushed galleon]

you can store the currently running games in a variable and check to see if one's running

assuming the game doesnt last for too long

[pure sparrow]

Nice selfie 🤩

[narrow grail]

My idea was to make a queue

where one player is waiting for the other from an other server

[pure sparrow]

You are coding a game on discord ?

you have to creat a list like list = [« sus »]

[narrow grail]

nah only a random choice which seems like a minigame

[hushed galleon]

well what did you try? and what version of dpy are you running? dpy 2.0 and forks of dpy like disnake offer discord's new timeout feature which would be suitable for doing mutes

[slate swan]

user = message.author
role = get(user.server.roles, name="Muted")
await client.add_roles(user, role)

[pure sparrow]

@slate swan Add me to be friend I have a part of my code that I can send to you. My pc is off so I will help you tomorrow

[glacial echo]

whats the standard right now for virtual environments

[pure sparrow]

I know what you mean

[hushed galleon]

client.add_roles is extremely outdated and has been replaced with Member.add_roles(<one or more roles>)

[slate swan]

oooooooh

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

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

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

[slate swan]

but how do i make it for an selected user

like message.author or something

[pure sparrow]

oh yes

message.author means that it’s the author of the message so it works with it

[hushed galleon]

yeah that would probably be a good idea, although after two players connect then you'll still want a way for your game to run; this could be done with a custom class that keeps track of game variables and listening for messages from the appropriate players

[pure sparrow]

Add me I will help you tomorrow

[slate swan]

you need to add me first

you disblaed it

[hushed galleon]

if the message came from a guild then the author will be a Member object, so the add_roles method would come from that

[pure sparrow]

oh

[narrow grail]

may you send me an example of your idea?

[pure sparrow]

My bad

[abstract kindle]

Where do I get the docs for Buttons, TextInputs et

[narrow grail]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[hushed galleon]

buttons are in master docs

[abstract kindle]

oh okay, that's why I'm lost

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[hushed galleon]

you'll find the rest there

[abstract kindle]

Thanks ❤️

Are text inputs working

[hushed galleon]

i assume they are, there's an example modal on the repo

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/modal.py#L31-L69

[slate swan]

how do i specify the role like discord.Member.add_roles('mute') or something?

[abstract kindle]

sweet

[slate swan]

How can I limit someone from using a command if they already used it and it is still running?

[narrow grail]

@hushed galleon so code example

[hushed galleon]

minigame_queue = []``` for simplicity a list could be used as your queue, and you might append either a user or a (user, channel) tuple to it, whatever you might need, then your class might look like this ```py

class Minigame:
    def __init__(self, bot, player_channels): ...
        # store whatever attributes you may need such as the bot,
        # or the players and the channels they're in

    # if you need to write helper functions for your game,
    # this class can keep them organized in one place

    async def start(self):
        # send a message to each player...
        # wait for player A's turn... (see wait_for docs)
        message = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
        # ...and anything else here``` then you could use the queue and class in your command ```py

@bot.command()
async def join_minigame(ctx):
    # add the player to queue if they are the first one
    if not minigame_queue:
        minigame_queue.append(ctx.author)
        return

    # otherwise pick the first player in queue
    other_player = minigame_queue.pop(0)

    # then start the minigame
    my_game = Minigame(bot, [ctx.author, other_player])
    await my_game.start()```

[hushed galleon]

you could do something similar to what you had before with discord.utils.get, only difference is that the server attribute should be named guild instead

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.ext.commands.max_concurrency < you can use this decorator to limit the command on a per-user basis

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.max\_concurrency

@discord.ext.commands.max_concurrency(number, per=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default, *, wait=False)```
A decorator that adds a maximum concurrency to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses.

This enables you to only allow a certain number of command invocations at the same time, for example if a command takes too long or if only one user can use it at a time. This differs from a cooldown in that there is no set waiting period or token bucket – only a set number of people can run the command.

New in version 1.3.

[hushed galleon]

if they exceed the max number then the decorator raises a commands.MaxConcurrencyReached error

[slate swan]

what is the * there for and where do I put that in my code? below, above, or inside my command class?

[cloud dawn]

!args-kwargs

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

These special parameters allow functions to take arbitrary amounts of positional and keyword arguments. The names args and kwargs are purely convention, and could be named any other valid variable name. The special functionality comes from the single and double asterisks (*). If both are used in a function signature, *args must appear before **kwargs.

Single asterisk
*args will ingest an arbitrary amount of positional arguments, and store it in a tuple. If there are parameters after *args in the parameter list with no default value, they will become required keyword arguments by default.

Double asterisk
**kwargs will ingest an arbitrary amount of keyword arguments, and store it in a dictionary. There can be no additional parameters after **kwargs in the parameter list.

Use cases
• Decorators (see !tags decorators)
• Inheritance (overriding methods)
• Future proofing (in the case of the first two bullet points, if the parameters change, your code won't break)
• Flexibility (writing functions that behave like dict() or print())

See !tags positional-keyword for information about positional and keyword arguments

[hushed galleon]

the * means any parameters after it are keyword only, and its something you can do in your own functions

e.g. ```py
def add(*, x, y):
return x + y

now you are required to use keyword arguments

add(x=1, y=2)
3```

and max_concurrency is a check decorator so it would be on top of your command: py @bot.command() @commands.max_concurrency(1, commands.BucketType.user) async def my_command(ctx): ...

[slate swan]

fuck it since i cant get it working ill just make it ban people

[slate swan]

Okay, I got it working, thank you!!

[hoary cargo]

what are you talking about
That's me

[narrow grail]

thx dude

[slate swan]

hey uhh this code is only mentioning the bot who sent that message

bot.mention for bot in ctx.guild.members if bot.bot```
its supposed to show the others too

[final iron]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[slate swan]

this is the bots embed guildinfoEmbed.add_field(name='Bots', value=', '.join(list_of_bots), inline=False)

[sick birch]

Because of the if part

[slate swan]

huh ??

[sick birch]

“If bot.bot”

[junior verge]

yeah lol

[slate swan]

what do i change it to

[sick birch]

So it only adds all members that are bots

[slate swan]

yea thats what its supposed to do

but it doesnt do that

[sick birch]

So it mentions all users?

[slate swan]

no i mean so it mentions every bot in the server

my own bot

[sick birch]

Is that the only bot in the server?

[slate swan]

nope

[sick birch]

Then it's probably an intents issue

[slate swan]

intents issue?

[sick birch]

Yes.

[slate swan]

should i send code

[sick birch]

See here

[slate swan]

uhh u cant use intents in brakcets

[slate swan]

bro but thats me

[inner wing]

If someone from Israel please dm me

[sick birch]

What?

[hushed galleon]

yeah if you dont have the members intent enabled, discord.py cant offer you a list of members in the guild and the discord API will prevent you from requesting them

[junior verge]

Just applied for verified bot, how long does the response usually take?

when I try to ban nothing happens, I don't get any errors, can you help me?

[slate swan]

wtf??

[junior verge]

Does [{datetime.datetime.utcnow().strftime('%H:%M:%S | %d-%m-%Y')}] give it in unix?

[glad cradle]

when I remove await member.ban everything works fine

[hushed galleon]

according to danny's recent gist, 1-3 months
https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6

[junior verge]

No I am just asking you something

[junior verge]

My friends said like 1-3 weeks

[junior verge]

What are you sending me lol

I applied my bot for verified

[junior verge]

@glad cradle It's a question

[glad cradle]

is a datetime object so it can be transformed and formatted with strftime

[junior verge]

To what?

[glad cradle]

to str

[hushed galleon]

iunno i dont actually have knowledge in their verification process

[junior verge]

yeah lol

[sick birch]

They say 3-5 days

[junior verge]

Ohh

[sick birch]

Though they often get behind

[junior verge]

My bot is growing like 20 servers a day, it's a 100 now so can't grow till it's verified :/

[glad cradle]

@sick birch could you help me maybe? 🐬😣

[sick birch]

Sure. Do you have on_command_error anywhere at all in your code?

[glad cradle]

no

[echo elbow]

A quick question for the mods,
can I post here that I'm looking for a partner to help me develop a discord bot using python or is it against any of the rules?

[sick birch]

That falls under rule 6, so no

[sick birch]

Ah. I know why. You can't compare an object to None using == I don't think

[echo elbow]

I figured it would be something like that, even though i'm technically not interested in advertising the project itself, but looking only for a partner

[hushed galleon]

nah that should work fine, its only unconventional to compare to none with the equality operator

[glad cradle]

figured it out with an errors handler
Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 60003): Two factor is required for this operation

[sick birch]

Ah

[hushed galleon]

the server requires 2FA which means the bot dev also needs to have 2FA as well

[glad cradle]

yes

😔

[hushed galleon]

first time ive seen that error message

[slate swan]

File "c:\Users\acatto\Desktop\NSB\main.py", line 9, in <module>
from discord.ext import commands, tasks

umm

[glad cradle]

the Bot*
I already have 2fa active

[glad cradle]

sure you downloaded the real Discord.py?

[slate swan]

yes

[wispy spade]

sure you just don't have a file named discord in the same place as main.py?

should i pip uninstall discord and install it again

[sick birch]

Give that a try

[slate swan]

imma try nextcord

[hushed galleon]

are you sure you have it enabled? thats the only restriction according to the discord docs https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#twofactor-authentication-requirement

[junior verge]

@sick birch What would you say that is the easiest way to get slash commands without changing too much of your code

[glad cradle]

thx I figure it out

[narrow grail]

minigame_queue is not definied so how to define it?

[hushed galleon]

just writing it somewhere in your global scope is fine, or as a bot var if you have a cog and want it to persist across cog reloads

[narrow grail]

but how to define it?

[hushed galleon]

with the equal sign?

so minigame_queue = bot?

looks wrong

[hearty island]

Who knows how to fix this?

[hoary cargo]

u lying ofc, how it can be you when it's me

[dire folio]

Could u copy paste it, I'm way too blind to read otherwise

[hearty island]

What are trying to do

[cloud dawn]

Convert his code to .exe

[hearty island]

py - exe

[sick birch]

Why though

[hearty island]

to get uuid

[dire folio]

???

[hearty island]

it'll print it in cmd promt

[sick birch]

Think you NEED it before doing it

[hearty island]

yeah i do

[cloud dawn]

c# is such a fine language 😰

[sick birch]

From where?

[hearty island]

its for a whitelist and blacklist system so i can blacklist ur uuid

[sick birch]

For a discord bot?

[hearty island]

yh

[dire folio]

Lol this be lagging discord

[dire folio]

Why do you need uuid then?

[sick birch]

I don't see why you need an executable for that

[hearty island]

no like

[sick birch]

Just keep it a regular .py file

No need to mess with the weird py installers

[dire folio]

^

[hearty island]

kk

[sick birch]

Putting an interpreted language into an executable only adds more overhead

[hoary cargo]

For some reason some think it's a good thing to make your bot executable this leads just to more headaches

[sick birch]

People seem to want to put everything into an executable

I can understand that since it's all in one nice package but unfortunately that's not how interpreted languages work

[hoary cargo]

"It's cool"

[sick birch]

If you want everything to be in one nice little executable file, you should program in a compiled language

[pliant gulch]

Just ship the python bytecode kek

[sick birch]

Don't you still need the interpreter for that

[pliant gulch]

You would still need the interpreter so it’s totally useless

[pliant gulch]

Yes

[sick birch]

Thought so

The only time I've seen a need for converting python files to executables is when someone writes a malware in python, and sending a py file would be too easy to figure out

[pliant gulch]

Make a python program that takes python code interpreting it to C then compile that kek

[cloud dawn]

nice tip

[sick birch]

shit

[pliant gulch]

Kind of weird to require UUID whitelisting for a discord bot

[sick birch]

time to get demoted for rule 5

[pliant gulch]

Leaves me to believe the bot was made for malicious purposes

[narrow grail]

@hushed galleon sorry got it but what to put in the list?

[hoary cargo]

🗿 time to ping the mods

[sick birch]

Nah. They probably just want a whitelist/blacklist system

[narrow grail]

so meant user but how to put a user in this list

[pliant gulch]

A normal bot would’ve use discord IDs?

[sick birch]

UUID is strange yes, you could just use their discord ID

[cloud dawn]

It has more use cases.. for example if you want people to use it without downloading python and setting up the whole thing.

[sick birch]

They'd still have to download python.

Well, not them

[hoary cargo]

if you don;t plan updating your bot ever i guess you might turn it into an exe

[flat solstice]

ik discord.ButtonStyle only shows these few colours but can we really not pass a discord.Colour to buttons? or even a hex code or something https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html?highlight=discord buttonstyle#discord.ButtonStyle

[cloud dawn]

what is event_admins?

ah

[hoary cargo]

No

[sick birch]

The pitfalls of dynamically typed languages

[flat solstice]

that's a shame

[hoary cargo]

well, blame discord for having just few button colors

[flat solstice]

I think they should really just allow us to input a custom colour

[silent ermine]

[somber sky]

how do i make if they click a different option it returns something different

[silent ermine]

if Pickups == None:
  pickups is none
if events == None:
  events is none
``` etc etc

@hushed galleon how to send the game start message to both channels?

[hushed galleon]

youd store both of the player's channels beforehand and then send to them when your game starts

[hushed galleon]

hence why i mentioned considering storing it alongside the player as a (user, channel) tuple when they get queued

@narrow grail

[somber sky]

thanks

[dusk pumice]

Is there any apis for the welcome image?

Or should I use PIL to make it

Anyone here?

[hybrid ravine]

if i create a webhook via ```py
ss = session.create(f'https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/{channelid}/webhooks', headers=headers, json=json)

[hybrid ravine]

not 100% sry

[dusk pumice]

Ok

[potent otter]

I'm trying to make an on_message for a server of mine, where if there is no image attachment it deletes the message
but if there is, it keeps it
ex:

#screenshots (only images)

user says something, it deletes
user attaches image and says something, it stays

[slate swan]

how would i delete a stage with py? (only works for someone with a certain role)

[tawny smelt]

Hiho!
I've made a discord.py bot command:

@bot.command()
async def remind(ctx, *msg_parts):
    ...

and as you can see, I'm taking *args from the message. The problem is: when I put one quotation mark " in the message, I get an error: discord.ext.commands.errors.ExpectedClosingQuoteError: Expected closing "..
I have some idea why it's this way, but I don't have any idea about how to solve it. Could I get a hint? 🙂

[sick birch]

It's meant to be

async def my_command(ctx, *, arg_name):
  ...

[slate swan]

wsp

i need some help wit this code rq

ion know why it aint workin

[tawny smelt]

Thank you a lot, I tried something similar before but didn't use it properly. Now it's working thanks to you! Thanks again! 🙂

[sick birch]

My pleasure!

[potent otter]

Could you provide code?

[slate swan]

how to i make it so when I do !promote then it give HC role then do !promote again then give GM role

[sick birch]

    HC = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Head Coach")
    await user.add_roles(HC)

This won't quite work;

First check if they have HC role, if so, give GM role (optionally remove HC role), if not, give them HC role

You're halfway there already

[slate swan]

it gives them both roles

[sick birch]

You're checking if they have HC role, but you don't have an else condition

if HC in user.roles:
  # give GM role
else:
  # give HC role 

[slate swan]

o

[potent otter]

@client.event
async def on_message(msg):
if (msg.channel.name == 'screenshots'):
      if not (msg.attachments) or ('https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/' in msg.content):
        # delete message

Need help with this, I'm not that good at discord.py and wanted to see how I can delete a message that has no attachment on message.

[sick birch]

You're on the right track, you only have to check msg.attachments truthy value

No need to check for the link

[potent otter]

How would I do that?

Or should I remove msg.attachments and add if not ('https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/' in msg.content):

[sick birch]

if not msg.attachments:
  # delete

[potent otter]

ah

[flat solstice]

Anyone know of any up to date alternatives to https://github.com/Ext-Creators/discord-ext-ipc? (ping on reply pls)

[cloud dawn]

afaik there is none

[potent otter]

@sick birch
I recieve this error
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not list

@client.event
async def on_message(msg):
  if (msg.channel.name == 'musa-moment'):
      if not msg.attachments in msg.content:
        await msg.delete()

[potent otter]

no indent

[feral lichen]

hi pog 🙂

[slate swan]

ion know

[supple thorn]

Your indentation

[cloud dawn]

You want to delete the message if there is not a attachment in it?

[potent otter]

Yeah, I figured it out though.

[flat solstice]

Okay thanks

[cloud dawn]

@client.listen()
async def on_message(msg):
    if msg.channel.name == 'musa-moment' and not msg.attachments:
        return await msg.delete()

[tawny smelt]

Do I have to sanitize user input in commands that take keyword-only arguments? Like in !remind word1 word2: do I have to escape any characters or discord.py / python does it for me?

[lucid vine]

how would i use discord.ext.tasks.loop in this case

since after the first await it should sleep to the next like 10s

[potent otter]

Message is repeating over and over again:

@client.event
async def on_message(msg):
  if (msg.channel.name == '📷╿screenshot-plane-spot'):
      if not "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/" in msg.content:
        await msg.delete()

  if ((" release" in msg.content) or ("release " in msg.content)):
    await msg.reply("We are currently in a big development build up phase. Please check [#922607045969051698](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/922607045969051698/) for release information.")

  await client.process_commands(msg) 

[lucid vine]

but if i would do @tasks.loop(seconds=10) it would never get to the second part

[cloud dawn]

@client.listen()
async def on_message(msg):
  if (msg.channel.name == '📷╿screenshot-plane-spot'):
      if not "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/" in msg.content:
        await msg.delete()

  if ((" release" in msg.content) or ("release " in msg.content)) and not msg.author.bot:
    await msg.reply("We are currently in a big development build up phase. Please check [#922607045969051698](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/922607045969051698/) for release information.")

[hoary cargo]

You still need the process command though

[potent otter]

Thank you, I had this issue before I just forgot how to fix it.

[cloud dawn]

How so?

[lucid vine]

can someone help

[slate swan]

Sry idk

[cloud dawn]

Object Orientated Programming.

[lucid vine]

No im asking for how to use it when it has a sleep function inside of it aswell

[lucid vine]

What

Why are u telling me that

[somber sky]

how would i make it add a reaction to the channels message. Check and X is defined at the begining of the code.

[cloud dawn]

from discord import Game
from discord.ext import tasks
from discord.ext.commands import Cog, Bot


class Example(Cog, name='example_cog'):
    def __init__(self, bot: Bot) -> None:
        self.bot = bot
        self.precences = [
            "Hello!",
            "Do a flip!"
            ]
        self.loop_change_status_iteration = 0
        self.change_status.start()

    def cog_unload(self) -> None:
        self.change_status.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=10, reconnect=True)
    async def change_status(self) -> None:
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
        await self.bot.change_presence(
            status=discord.Status.idle, 
            activity=discord.Game(self.precences[self.loop_change_status_iteration])
            )

        self.loop_change_status_iteration += 1
        if len(self.precences) == self.loop_change_status_iteration:
            self.loop_change_status_iteration = 0


def setup(bot: Bot) -> None:
    bot.add_cog(Example(bot))

[lucid vine]

Got it so it finished the task first before looping afterwards

So the sleep inside and the loop sleep dont effect each other

[cloud dawn]

No?

I'm using a class to keep track of what iteration we're on.

If the amount of iterations is equal to the list reset to zero.

[boreal ravine]

asign a variable to channel.send and use the add_reaction method on the variable

[hybrid ravine]

ss = requests.post(f'https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/{f}/webhooks', headers=headers, json=json)
```how would i go about returning the urkl of this webhook?

[quaint epoch]

so i got a question

[sick birch]

url = f"https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/{f}/webhooks"

[quaint epoch]

will await member.unban() work? considering that the member object has already been banned?

[sick birch]

That's the webhook URL isn't it? You're posting to it

[quaint epoch]

if you store the banned member obj in a list for like, 10 mins, will .unban() unban them?

or no

[sick birch]

Experiment

[cloud dawn]

Yes if that is a valid member object.

[quaint epoch]

alr

[sick birch]

But you can get the snowflake from them either way

[quaint epoch]

lets say, you store it for 3 years, will it still work?

[sick birch]

It should, since you can easily get a snowflake from member objects

[quaint epoch]

okay

[cloud dawn]

If your bot has run for that long and the api is the same why not.

[quaint epoch]

yay

[cloud dawn]

This server is not meant for this.

[gentle wren]

sry

[cloud dawn]

You could ask @novel apex if you can say it in some other channels.

[gentle wren]

k

[hybrid ravine]

im posting the request to create it

[sick birch]

Why not use d.py's method? I'm sure it returns the created webhook

[hybrid ravine]

if you mean ctx.channel.create_webhook im not using it bc im trying to randomizew the channel. and d.pys method doesnt allow that'

[sick birch]

Sure. Use random.choice()

[hybrid ravine]

ive defined f as a random choice of the channels.

but it comes up wit invalid type

[sick birch]

Oh, then why not just use f.create_webhook(...)?

[boreal ravine]

ss.url

[patent lark]

hm.

[hybrid ravine]

returns the same thing

[hybrid ravine]

waift that actually does that?

[sick birch]

Returns what? The error?

[hybrid ravine]

yea

[sick birch]

What type if f?

A list of IDs?

[hybrid ravine]

yep

str. but i tried int

[sick birch]

It needs to be a channel object

[slate swan]

whats he tryna do

[sick birch]

If it's a list of IDs you can map or use list comps

[sick birch]

Create a webhook in a random channel

[slate swan]

Ah

[sick birch]

list_of_ids = [123, 456, 789]
channel_objects = [bot.get_channel(id) for id in list_of_ids]

Or, preferably, if keep it as a list of channels from the start

[boreal ravine]

or.. ```py
from random import choice

channel = choice(ctx.guild.text_channels)

[sick birch]

Why would you import it then use random.choice()

[hybrid ravine]

ty

[boreal ravine]

haha my mistake

[hybrid ravine]

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'create_webhook'

[sick birch]

You have to use random.choice on it

[hybrid ravine]

hook = random.choice(channel_objects).create_webhook(name="xylo") like this?

[slate swan]

hmmmm

[hybrid ravine]

or do i put thw whole thing in random.chice

[sick birch]

Gotta await it but yes

[slate swan]

yo @sick birch can u help me w sum rq

[hybrid ravine]

its still saying its a nonetype and doesnt have the atr create)_webhook

[sick birch]

Is the list empty?

[slate swan]

await stage1.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, move_members=False)

[pallid marsh]

Can someone help me? I’m having trouble changing the bots nickname. I’m using v1.7.3

await client.user.edit(nick=“nick”)```

[slate swan]

am i doing something wrong

[hybrid ravine]

nope

[pallid marsh]

(No error, just nothing happens)

[magic ore]

Are you trying to change the bot's nickname for a server or it's username?

[pallid marsh]

just the nickname (per server nick)

[slate swan]

@magic ore mind helping w that

[magic ore]

!d discord.Guild.me

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.me

property me```
Similar to [`Client.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.user "discord.Client.user") except an instance of [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member"). This is essentially used to get the member version of yourself.

[magic ore]

has an edit method

[pallid marsh]

So then discord.Guild.me.edit?

[arctic tangle]

Is ylo a packing clan

[hybrid ravine]

no

[magic ore]

you would access the me attribute of a Guild object (or Context object) and call the edit method on it

!d discord.Member.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.edit

await edit(*, nick=..., mute=..., deafen=..., suppress=..., roles=..., voice_channel=..., timed_out_until=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the member’s data.

Depending on the parameter passed, this requires different permissions listed below...

[slate swan]

ye ylo is ass ngl

[pallid marsh]

ah ok, thanks

[slate swan]

@magic ore yo? u mind helping me

await stage1.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, move_members=False)
await stage1.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, mute_members=False)

only denying mute permissions & the move permissions are still neutral and gray

[magic ore]

looks fine to me, make sure your bot has the right permissions

[slate swan]

it does

i can inv u to my test serv

and give u admin perms idk why it isnt

working

its for a stage channel so idk if that shit works differently

@magic ore its resetting the move member permission as it does it idk why

nvm i found out y

[grim coral]

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as {0}!'.format(self.user))

client = MyClient()
client.run('Token you though u were gonna get that L')```

[supple thorn]

okay

what's the problem

[grim coral]

Is this good so far this is my first project I started on so far and I need some feedback from this is there anything I need to improve on it?

[supple thorn]

i suggest using commands.Bot

it inherits from discord.Client so it has all of it's features with more

like commands so you don't have to make a bunch of if statements checking if a message has your prefix and command name

[supple thorn]

first project?

[grim coral]

yea

[supple thorn]

like your first python project?

[grim coral]

yes

[supple thorn]

damn good luck

[grim coral]

Thanks I like taking a challenge because I am wanting to learn from this.

[vocal walrus]

Hi! This is my first time making a discord bot using python

`@commands.command()
async def play(self,ctx,url):
    ctx.voice_client.stop()
    FFMPEG_OPTIONS = {'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5', 'options': '-vn'}
    YDL_OPTIONS = {'format':"bestaudio"}
    vc = ctx.voice_client
    await ctx.send("Playing!")

    with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(YDL_OPTIONS) as ydl:
        info = ydl.extract_info(url, download=False)
        url2 = info['formats'] [0] ['url']
        source = await discord.FFmpegOpusAudio.from_probe(url2, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS)
        vc.play(source)`

So i'm making a discord music bot here, but when i want to play something i get this error

[grim coral]

How would I re write it to the way you said you recommend it to be?

[supple thorn]

can't help

[supple thorn]

[boreal ravine]

replit doesn't support ffmpeg anymore

[boreal ravine]

use f-strings

wondering how I can make it send an embed whilst replying to the user who sent the image

want it to reply to the image with this

[supple thorn]

!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").

[slate swan]

yes I know that, but im confused where I'd put my embed and stuff

[supple thorn]

await message.reply(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

no like literally my embed contents, where would I put them without messing up the rest

[supple thorn]

what

put them inside a embed then

[slate swan]

what indentation and after what part

like do they go after the finally etc.

[supple thorn]

why do you have a try and finally

[slate swan]

for the await client.process_commands(message)

[supple thorn]

but why do you have a try block

for what actual reason do you have that there for

[slate swan]

someone suggested using it a longgg time ago

[supple thorn]

🗿

[slate swan]

?

[supple thorn]

bruh

[slate swan]

it has been working good though

[supple thorn]

yeah it works but you don't need try and finally

literally no reason to use them

you're not even catching errors with an except block

[slate swan]

because up until now I didn't need to

can you help or are you gonna criticize all of it 🤣

[supple thorn]

you don't need finally just remove it

and put the process_commands on the first level

[slate swan]

Which line

[echo wasp]

How can you check if message.content contains something?

[supple thorn]

🗿

at the end

but on the first level indentation

[supple thorn]

if message.content == "something":
  ...

or

[echo wasp]

No like if it starts with &

[slate swan]

if '&' in message.content:

[supple thorn]

if message.content.startswith("&"):
  ...

[slate swan]

or that yeah

[supple thorn]

he wanted startswith

[slate swan]

ah gotcha

[supple thorn]

that would trigger if any & is in the message

rather it being the first thing

[slate swan]

yeah I didnt read his last message

ok so back to my code

[supple thorn]

just put the embed in your last if statement

[slate swan]

you want me to move await client.process_commands(message) on the same level as save_config?

[supple thorn]

bruh

no

[supple thorn]

def foo(bar: Bool) -> Str:
  # first level
  if bar:
    # second level
    return "second level"
  else:
    return "example"

[slate swan]

yes

[supple thorn]

it has to be the same indentation line like the first if statement

but on the last line

or just use bot.listen

[slate swan]

4th line is the first if statement

[supple thorn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

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

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

Example...

[slate swan]

@client.listen() ?

[supple thorn]

you don't have to process commands with this

[supple thorn]

yes but i hate that variable name

[slate swan]

😄

why lol

[supple thorn]

because your bot is a bot

not a client

also confusing because discord.Client exists

[austere vale]

can someone help me with this?

  @commands.command()
  @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
  async def unban(self,ctx, *, member):
      banned_users = await ctx.guild.bans()
      member_name, member_discriminator = member.split('#')
      for ban_entry in banned_users:
          user = ban_entry.user
          if (user.name, user.discriminator) == (member_name, member_discriminator):
               await ctx.guild.unban(user)
               await ctx.channel.send(f"Unbanned: {user.mention}")

[supple thorn]

it's like doing this

[slate swan]

you didnt provide a reason

[solar summit]

youre not passing in enough values

[supple thorn]

string = 1
number = "my string"

[solar summit]

@austere vale why do you have *, ?

[austere vale]

is * not needed?

[slate swan]

• is all isn't it?

[solar summit]

if you're passing in the @ then why would you

its a single word

[supple thorn]

yeah but why would she need that?

[solar summit]

same as ColdLuck#6969

[slate swan]

yea

[solar summit]

it wont be ColdLuck # 6969 where you need to see all those words

even if you did, with your code it causes errors

[supple thorn]

nice status and bio

big dreams

[austere vale]

thank HAHA

[slate swan]

@supple thorn what do I set as the name for the .listen and what does it matter?

[echo wasp]

How do I check the message.channel.id?

[supple thorn]

what

[slate swan]

str(message.channel.id) == str(channel ID)

[supple thorn]

no

[slate swan]

thats what I use

[echo wasp]

So it should be if message.channel.id == id:

[supple thorn]

yeah works but can be better

[echo wasp]

Right?

[supple thorn]

yeah

[slate swan]

ye

[supple thorn]

i don't know why he turns them into a string

[solar summit]

make sure id is an int

[echo wasp]

Well it should be

[slate swan]

???

[supple thorn]

useless to turn them into a string when they are both already a int

[supple thorn]

allows you to have multiple of the same event

[slate swan]

so does the name matter?

[supple thorn]

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def quack_messages(message):
  ...

[supple thorn]

if you want to have multiple events

then yes

if no

[slate swan]

In my case for detecting on message does it matter

[supple thorn]

just don't put anything for the name

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
  ...

[slate swan]

Ah ok

and that wont interfere with my .event ?

[austere vale]

how do i fix this?

  @commands.command()
  @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
  async def unban(self,ctx, member):
      banned_users = await ctx.guild.bans()
      member_name, member_discriminator = member.split('#')
      for ban_entry in banned_users:
          user = ban_entry.user
          if (user.name, user.discriminator) == (member_name, member_discriminator):
               await ctx.guild.unban(user)
               await ctx.channel.send(f"Unbanned: {user.mention}")

[solar summit]

why are you passing in a reason with no argument

[austere vale]

oh

[solar summit]

can you get rid of your error handler and send the error here

also dont copy and paste code, this is why you're running into errors and dont know how to fix it

[torn sail]

1. It needs to be name#1234 2. U can use id mention etc by using discord.User typehint and ctx.guild.unban

The way ur using is bad

[solar summit]

copy pasting code...

[slate swan]

attch.filename[-4:] in ['.jpg', '.png', '.jpeg']
NameError: name 'attch' is not defined

i define it above though idek

show code

[solar summit]

you don't have it defined then?

how dont u know lol

[slate swan]

probably mispelled

"attch"

[modest plover]

Anyone here know how to host a bot using railway?
I'm having issues

I'm trying to host the bot but it fails during the build

[solar summit]

railway?

[modest plover]

Yes

https://railway.app

[solar summit]

no idea I would just recommend buying a $2 vps

[modest plover]

I have all my bot code in a repo but it's seperated by folders in the repo per bot

[solar summit]

or even heroku i think is simpler

[modest plover]

I don't have $2

[modest plover]

Doesn't have unlimited time

[solar summit]

i think thats more of a railway problem then a discord.py problem..

[lucid vine]

i have 2 questions one is how do i for example like i have a prefix command that saves the guild id and prefix to a json and i want to like reply with that set prefix when i mention the bot how do i extract the prefix again? and other question is how would i do like categories in a help cmd embed like dank memer

like this

[slate swan]

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

[slate swan]

what error you get?

ah i got it

[slate swan]

you don't have reason argument in function

so you can't give reason for unban

include that first

[lucid vine]

will that work with dpy 1.7.3

[slate swan]

no

you would need to use 2.0 or a fork

[lucid vine]

if i use 2.0 will my commands ect go to waste like be unusable and ill have to use the new 2.0 lib and docs to make my bot again?

[slate swan]

there are a few breaking changes but mostly everything will work all good

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

[lucid vine]

okay ill try, worst case ill have to get back to 1.7.3

[slate swan]

good luck

[lucid vine]

and how would i ctx.send the set prefix for the current guild the bot is in

[slate swan]

1. get the prefix using this
2. send it

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_prefix

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

Retrieves the prefix the bot is listening to with the message as a context.

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

[lucid vine]

@slate swan and to install dpy 2.0 i need python 3.6?

cant i do it with 3.10

[slate swan]

its python 3.8 or higher

so 3.10 works

[lucid vine]

okay ty

[austere torrent]

is there any way to get the id of a previous message in a specific channel? like i need the id for the second to most recent message, not just the most recent one

i know await channel.history(limit=2).flatten() can get me a list that contains the id, but i dont know how to 'extract' it per say

[slate swan]

use just 1 bot instance

[austere torrent]

did you import discord?

what exactly is the error

i'm not sure then, maybe someone else will know

[lucid vine]

@slate swan ive installed 2.0 and added the intents and now none of my cmds are working did i do anything wrong because im not getting any errors has anything else exceptionally in my case what im having a problem with changed?

maybe its cuz of my custom prefix line

[supple thorn]

perhaps

try removing that for now

and just put a test prefix in it's place

[lucid vine]

client = command.Bot(command_prefix= get_prefix, intents=intents)

is that correct

[lucid vine]

sure

[supple thorn]

client

😔

[lucid vine]

what

[supple thorn]

no clue cause i don't use discord py 2.0

not even discordpy

i use disnake

[lucid vine]

pycord?

oh

[supple thorn]

what's your get_prefix code

[lucid vine]

def get_prefix(client,message):
    with open('prefixes.json', 'r') as f:
        prefixes = json.load(f)
    return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]

client = command.Bot(command_prefix= get_prefix, intents=intents)```

[slate swan]

how can I make an error handler specifically for CommandInvokeError

@plb.error
async def plb_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandInvokeError):
        await ctx.send("No users have points!")

is that incorrect?

[cold sonnet]

it's commands.Bot

[lucid vine]

Is thats why?

Its not working

[torn sail]

Did u enable message content intents?

[cold sonnet]

yeah it probably is because of this

[lucid vine]

All intents enabled

The bot is intended to get verified

[cold sonnet]

it can't work without defining bot correctly

[supple thorn]

jesus christ

[lucid vine]

What

I made the bot not intended to get it verified

[glacial willow]

typing here is all u need to do to ping here right?

with bot

[slate swan]

you realize @ here will ping all members right

[supple thorn]

yes

[lucid vine]

Its a nsfw bot and i have a server thats growing like hundreds of members daily cuz of the server and the bot is just an addition to the community and i also thought why not be public for everyone

[supple thorn]

why else would he put a here ping

[slate swan]

?

[lucid vine]

Especially since kinks and stuff exist and searching for nsfw in a public server with kinks is a bit weird

[glacial willow]

yes im about to annoy people

[slate swan]

ahh gotcha :demon:

[cold sonnet]

did you fix what we told you though

[lucid vine]

No it didnt

[cold sonnet]

what did u do

[slate swan]

wtf ppl are discussing lmfaoo

[lucid vine]

I changed the command to commands

Didnt help

[cold sonnet]

but not in command_prefix

right?

[supple thorn]

demon's weird kink bot that uses client

[lucid vine]

Yea

[lucid vine]

Lols

[slate swan]

oo ok ok.. i got wrong idea by reading that 'kink' word

lmfao (everything cool nwo lol)

[slate swan]

ahh.. listen.. try to not use json for that shit

if possible

[oak oar]

[lucid vine]

Why

[torn sail]

With a get prefix which opens a json file every time

[slate swan]

json aren't meant to be used as db

if u wanna use db.. u can use free plan of mongodb

[cold sonnet]

do you have an error?

[lucid vine]

Ok enough talking about my mommy bot

[lucid vine]

No error just all cmds are not working

[oak oar]

how are you gonna use a db as a config file tho

[torn sail]

Show intents

[cold sonnet]

on_message?

[supple thorn]

or sql one

[slate swan]

😭 bro, so u saying that one should use json to store prefix?

[supple thorn]

bro

[torn sail]

Messages is not message content I think

[supple thorn]

why do you have client

[oak oar]

i'm saying you shouldn't tell them to use mongodb as config file 💀

[slate swan]

yeahh i've heard that pythonanywhere gives free 500mb of mysql

[slate swan]

💀 oh i see, lmfao

[supple thorn]

that's why

[slate swan]

i just intent to tell ppl to not use json for that shit :'/

[supple thorn]

bruh

[lucid vine]

Im consfused

Confused

[supple thorn]

of course you are

[lucid vine]

What difference does it make in 2.0

[torn sail]

Use only the commands.Bot

[slate swan]

+1 ^

[lucid vine]

So no client

[torn sail]

Yes

[supple thorn]

why are you defining client twice?

[lucid vine]

Just use commands.Bot

[torn sail]

Yes

[supple thorn]

how the fuck did your old code work

[slate swan]

yt moment

:'/

[oak oar]

use a yaml file if you want smthn like that

[lucid vine]

No idea

[supple thorn]

even if you downgraded back to default dpy version

it shouldn't work

[lucid vine]

and what do i do with the prefix

[lucid vine]

It does tho

[oak oar]

or a toml file

[lucid vine]

Im testing the bot on a different application and the main bot is running on my pi with the default version

[supple thorn]

your code challenges the holy spirit

[lucid vine]

May jesus help

[twilit flame]

😂

[torn sail]

You need to set intents.message_content to True

[oak oar]

if the code works don't touch it

• some random guy

[lucid vine]

Me

So yh what do i do with

[torn sail]

Here

[twilit flame]

are you trying to do a prefix for every server or a prefix by default?

[lucid vine]

Prefix for every server

Its already in like 40

[torn sail]

Should use bot vars and only open file on start and close

[slate swan]

😭 that's why i'm telling to not use json for that

[lucid vine]

intents = discord.Intents(messages=True, guilds=True)

Shouldnt this be enough

[torn sail]

No

messages is not message_content

[oak oar]

everyone is trying to help demon but it ain't working

[lucid vine]

Im sorry im dumb sometimes

[slate swan]

😭

[lucid vine]

I sincerly apologize and appriciate your love and help.

[slate swan]

btw which lib you're using? @lucid vine

[lucid vine]

Dpy2

[slate swan]

ah..no idea about how they're handling that..

sowwy, i'm of no help here ;'/

[lucid vine]

intents = discord.Intents(message_content=True, messages=True, guilds=True)
commands.Bot = discord.Client(intents=intents, command_prefix= get_prefix)
# ================================================================================================================

def get_prefix(client,message):
    with open('prefixes.json', 'r') as f:
        prefixes = json.load(f)
    return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]

client = command.Bot(command_prefix= get_prefix, intents=intents)```
so i know i did something wrong

Just not sure what

[supple thorn]

i don't even know how their code lives

[torn sail]

Remove commands.Bot = discord.Client

[lucid vine]

Its a supreme AI it fixes itself

[slate swan]

💀 ai?

[lucid vine]

Im joking

[lucid vine]

Yh then

[slate swan]

💀 i thought u talking about copilot lmfao

[twilit flame]

idk if this helps but :\ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64513680/discord-py-prefix-command

[torn sail]

No no no no

Json opening every command is bad

[slate swan]

and he using json for that shit..

that's why i told him to not use json for that shit

[twilit flame]

let them experience it

[slate swan]

lmfaooo

[lucid vine]

intents = discord.Intents(message_content=True, messages=True, guilds=True)
# ================================================================================================================

def get_prefix(client,message):
    with open('prefixes.json', 'r') as f:
        prefixes = json.load(f)
    return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]

client = command.Bot(intents=intents, command_prefix= get_prefix)```

[lucid vine]

No clue what im supposed to expierence

[oak oar]

💀

[torn sail]

Is it at least working now?

[lucid vine]

Fuk i forgot the commands

[slate swan]

see.. just telling that json isn't meant to be used as what you're tryna use it for

[slate swan]

bie

[twilit flame]

damn

[lucid vine]

Whats wrong with it i dont know it works i

[slate swan]

bro

https://guide.pycord.dev/getting-started/rules-and-common-practices#databases read this

[torn sail]

Json is a data serialization format, that turns primitive data structures into a string.
A database is a formalized system designed to store and retrieve data, with a substantial
number of features and functionalities designed to support doing so at various scales,
and with a large number of guarantees.
A Json file as-a-db* is fundamentally flawed due to its lack of atomic writes
which results in data corruption and loss when:
• The disk runs out of storage
• The program crashes during the write
• The computer crashes during write
• Two programs try to write to the file at the same time
Additionally:
‣ All reads require the entire file to be read
‣ All reads require the entire structure to be loaded into memory *this does make it fast!
‣ All writes require the entire file to be re-written
The Json module makes no effort to ameliorate any of these concerns, because json-as-a-db falls
completely and entirely out of the scope of the standard.
If you need the file to be portable and want minimum setup, use sqlite, a standard designed to
solve all these issues.
*Using the json stdlib module

[slate swan]

it is used for configuration not to be used as a db

[lucid vine]

Nope not working

[torn sail]

No errors?

[lucid vine]

No errors just not working

[torn sail]

Did u enable intents in dev portal

[lucid vine]

Yea

All 3

[slate swan]

u aren't getting any error even you're running the file? 💀

[lucid vine]

Just double checked

[lucid vine]

No

[twilit flame]

why not use FASTAPI aswell 🤣

[slate swan]

bruhh

[torn sail]

Can u maybe show more code

[slate swan]

^

[lucid vine]

What do u need

[torn sail]

Maybe a few commands, where ur running the bot

!paste or a whole file

[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.

[lucid vine]

Yh i can give u a snippet 2 sec

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied mute to @lucid vine until <t:1649310216:f> (9 minutes and 59 seconds) (reason: newlines rule: sent 112 newlines in 10s).

[slate swan]

😐

[supple thorn]

lmao

[slate swan]

LMFAOOO

[torn sail]

Lol

[slate swan]

hey mod, pls unmute him

[supple thorn]

wait for another 10 minutes

[torn sail]

Use this for large code next time

[wicked ivy]

lol my bad

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/sawuqadove

there

@torn sail

[torn sail]

Ok so loading extensions needs to be awaited

Also u shouldn’t change status so often

[wicked ivy]

why

ban?

should i increase the sleep interval?

[torn sail]

Probably

[wicked ivy]

on a sb i would understand but on a bot?

[torn sail]

Ok so you should make an async function named setup_hook where u load extensions. Then do client.setup_hook = setup_hook. Make sure to await loading extensions

[wicked ivy]

ohh ur talking about the cogs??

rn im not using the cogs anyways

[torn sail]

Oh

[wicked ivy]

its messy code

[torn sail]

Well ur also not running the bot

[wicked ivy]

what

oh i am

[torn sail]

Oh ok

[wicked ivy]

didnt send full code

[torn sail]

Send more?

I haven’t seen anything yet

[wicked ivy]

yh 2 sec

https://1ty.me/2lyKHC

1 time view link so yh

[torn sail]

Page not found

[wicked ivy]

wat

lemme just send in dms

[torn sail]

Ok

[little ivy]

what do i need to type in my terminal to be able to use attribute "create_Text_channel ?

[wicked ivy]

wtf timeout is finished but im still muted

[glacial willow]

is ctx.author in a slash command the bot or the user who ran the command?

[torn sail]

I would assume user

[little ivy]

Why do the ( & [ end up getting the error for not being closed?

[cosmic agate]

how to use twitch api?

[azure scroll]

@bot.command()
async def stopwatch(ctx, status : int):
  hours = 0
  minutes = 0
  seconds = 0
  
  if status == 1:
    await ctx.send("Started")
    while True:
      time.sleep(1)
      seconds += 1
    
      if (seconds == 60):
        seconds = 0
        minutes += 1

      if (minutes == 60):
        minutes = 0
        hours += 1

      if (hours == 24):
        hours = 0
        minutes = 0
        seconds = 0
        break
      elif status == 0:
        break
  elif status == 0:
    await ctx.send("Stopped")

I get no error but the bot doesn't send a message when i stop

[supple thorn]

what is status

also that's really bad to do cause that is blocking

pretty much making your entire bot seize up until it finishes that code

[supple thorn]

because it already started

[azure scroll]

ok i think i got it

[minor totem]

I am sorry but.. what do you want this to accomplish?

[supple thorn]

counting i presume

[little ivy]

Why is this thing saying the ( is not closed?

[supple thorn]

why is one of your arguments discord.Channel

[little ivy]

thats not my question

[azure scroll]

its a stopwatch

[lucid vine]

  File "C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord_components\component.py", line 3, in <module>
    from discord import PartialEmoji, Emoji, InvalidArgument
ImportError: cannot import name 'InvalidArgument' from 'discord' (C:\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\__init__.py)

[supple thorn]

but that will be later when it fucks you over

[minor totem]

Because you have (ctx, channel, discord.Channel) and not (ctx, channel: discord.Channel).

[lucid vine]

Can someone help

[little ivy]

thanks, finnaly someone with usefull help

[supple thorn]

isn't it from commands

[boreal ravine]

what d.py version are you using?

[minor totem]

You should use asyncio.sleep() for the whole duration. Do you want it to send a message every now and then about the remaining time?

[lucid vine]

2

[lucid vine]

Wym

[boreal ravine]

looks like a library error

[supple thorn]

literally pointed it out yet said no

🗿

[azure scroll]

no, i want to see the time elapsed only after i stop it

[lucid vine]

So what do i do

[minor totem]

CokeCane is correct, you want to import it from discord.ext.commands: ```python
from discord import PartialEmoji, Emoji
from discord.ext.commands import InvalidArgument

[supple thorn]

don't mind that just looked at the docs

[boreal ravine]

you either

• remove the library and use d.py 2.0
• use d.py 1.7.x

[minor totem]

How do you stop it? With another command?

[supple thorn]

i was right?

i'm looking at the docs

[boreal ravine]

No

[supple thorn]

i don't see invalidargument from commands

[lucid vine]

But im trying to use dropdown menu as category for help command

[slate swan]

hi is the python bot open source ?

[lucid vine]

In embeds

[supple thorn]

yes

[slate swan]

!github

[supple thorn]

!source

[unkempt canyon]

Bot's GitHub Repository

Repository

Go to GitHub

[slate swan]

ohh thnx

what library are you guys using for bot devlopment ?

[minor totem]

Yes! It's a bit more complicated than usual bots so I recommend looking at @lament depot unless there is a specific feature of Python bot you want to look at.

[boreal ravine]

1.7.x: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.InvalidArgument
2.0: gone (possibly renamed to https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BadArgument)

[slate swan]

👀 will check out both

[boreal ravine]

it's using disnake

[minor totem]

It was migrated back!

[supple thorn]

what

[boreal ravine]

you can do that with discord.py too

[boreal ravine]

oh, nice

[supple thorn]

didn't it migrate back

[slate swan]

v2.0 is not out yet right ?

[boreal ravine]

it's been out for a while

[supple thorn]

yeah i looked at it's src couple days ago

[lucid vine]

Like lets say someone does _help and then it does a embed and then adds a dropdown with like 3 categories like moderator, fun, level and once u pick one it will give u a help embed with the multiple commands in that category in a embed

[lucid vine]

That ^^

[slate swan]

huh i think only beta version is out not a stable version

[minor totem]

I never knew about InvalidArgument; the thing is, that's not the one raised by converters afaik

[minor totem]

It did yeah

[heavy folio]

eyyy

[heavy folio]

it's a beta version but is pretty much stable, not much bugs which will break your bot

[slate swan]

i see

have you guys used hikari.py for making bots ?

[heavy folio]

nope but i would try it out soon

[supple thorn]

nah

[slate swan]

i see , pls tell me how is it after you try it out

[boreal ravine]

maybe looking at https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py will help with what you wanna do

[slate swan]

BTW do you guys have any ideas what is the rest api and gateway version of discord currently ?

[boreal ravine]

v10 is the latest gateway version

you can make a single welcome message which will be send in every server, but it sucks

[dull sorrel]

Doesn't work.

[lucid vine]

Because that emoji is not in your guild

[vocal laurel]

hey a question, how to make sub commands NOT case sensetive?

[lucid vine]

Use it like this to get the emoji id ect \ (emojihere), no space

[lucid vine]

I think u could make the caps equal to lower caps

[vocal laurel]

wdym?

[lucid vine]

Like setting the caps to lower caps wait i knew how to but i forgot

Let me check

[vocal laurel]

then can u tell me how to

k

[lucid vine]

!lower()

[vocal laurel]

ye but a sub command

[boreal ravine]

set the case_insensitive kwarg in the group decorator to True

[boreal ravine]

if statements I suppose ```py
if self.values[0] == 'fun':
...

elif self.values[0] == 'moderation':
...

[lucid vine]

But like

[boreal ravine]

?

[vocal laurel]

ty

[lucid vine]

Oh like that

I see ty let me try

[glass breach]

1

[dull sorrel]

What?

[lucid vine]

You have to use the emoji id

The emojis have to be in the bots guild tho

[vale wing]

!d discord.Client.get_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_emoji

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

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

[vale wing]

This is more correct method

[lucid vine]

Yea or that

@boreal ravinewhere did i indent wrong im confused

[boreal ravine]

you're not

[lucid vine]

Then what did i do wrong

[boreal ravine]

your just using tabs and spaces together and python doesn't like that

[lucid vine]

I didnt i just used tabs

[boreal ravine]

🤔

[lucid vine]

I cant run my code like this

[vale wing]

@lucid vine in vsc in the bottom right corner there's something that let's you convert code to tabs/spaces so you can quickly fix it

Typically pressing tab in VSC results in 4 spaces added as PEP8 states indents are recommended to be implemented with 4 spaces

If you didn't change the settings

[lucid vine]

I see ty i just removed the tabs and used space instead

    await ctx.send(embed = embedhelp,view=view)

how would i make this after ive selected the dropdown category the initial embed deletes itself

[placid skiff]

message = await ctx.send(embed = embedhelp, view=view)
when you want to delete it:
message.delete()

or you can even edit it:
message.edit(embed=a_new_embed)

[lucid vine]

So how would i edit my await ctx.send(embed = embedhelp,view=view) to the new embed

[placid skiff]

[lucid vine]

So how would i make it that when the interaction response gets sent it gets deleted

Im confused

[placid skiff]

bro when you response to your interaction you send a new embed, right?

[lucid vine]

Yea

[placid skiff]

essentially you can do it in a lot of different ways:
saving the id of the message you want to delete, then use your interaction in the view to access that message and then delete it.
create a message parametere in your UI view and then you first send the message with the embed, then you create the view object, pass the message that you have sent, and then edit the message to add your view and then when the interaction is responded before sending the new embed delete the old one

is up to you

[lucid vine]

Can i just define the initial embed and then like add it to my if .... elif ... and delete it then?@placid skiff

Or wont it work like that

[placid skiff]

nope the embed is in the message, so you have to remove it from the message or delete the entire message

[boreal ravine]

why not edit it

[lucid vine]

Cuz i have no idea

[boreal ravine]

await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=...)

[lucid vine]

Will it know to edit the initial embed?

[boreal ravine]

if you mean embedhelp then yes

[lucid vine]

Oh okay yh that helps

Tyy let me try

Perfectly works

[scarlet sorrel]

what form do i need to open an image in to use await client.user.edit(avatar=image)? i tried rb and r and image.read() but none of that works. this is my code:

with open(f'pfps/' + str(math.floor(random.uniform(1, 8))) + '.png', 'rb') as image:
  image.read()
  await client.user.edit(avatar=image)

[tired hinge]

hi! i am using async-praw for a discord bot as praw is blocking. does anybody know any help servers like this for it?

i am encountering an authentication error when my credentials are correct.

[supple thorn]

I don't think they have a discord server

[tired hinge]

aw

[supple thorn]

But they do have a subreddit

r/redditdev

Try asking it there

[tired hinge]

understood, thank you

my question has been asked multiple times there.

lmao

i tried all those fixes, none of them seem to work

i'll just claim a help channel

[brisk zodiac]

@client.command()
async def clear(ctx, amount=1000):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)
    await ctx.send('Successfully delete {amount} messages')
```How can i fix the `{amount}`? I want it to send a specific number

[supple thorn]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[brisk zodiac]

Oh thx

[slate swan]

you should actually store the purge method in a variable and use the len function on it since purge returns a list of Message objects, it will tell you the number of messages deleted rather than simply using the amount set by the user who invoked the command

[spring flax]

Yeah,it can fail to delete messages so if you say it deleted what the user put in it's inaccurate or misleading

Consider typehinting amount to int also

is there a way i can do this?

!d discord.Embed.set_author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_author

set_author(*, name, url=None, icon_url=None)```
Sets the author for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[slate swan]

Well you can't pass set_author into ctx.send.

🗿

[spice basalt]

but i don't want that

[slate swan]

But you need that

[spice basalt]

if i were to embed these all, will that method still work?

[gilded gust]

very messy code here

[slate swan]

Yes

[spice basalt]

i just said that i plan on embedding it all

[supple thorn]

He's referring to the if statement

[spice basalt]

yes

[slate swan]

Also, instead of doing two if statements for the RPS, you could just use an and.

[spice basalt]

i'm gonna add them in the same embed

Hi guys

How do i make sure it prints when an option is chosen in the dropdown?

[steady ember]

Is there any alertnative for in method to send message faster via discord webhooks!

[supple thorn]

You want to send messaged using webhooks rather than the normal way?

[steady ember]

Yes i have stored webhooks!
