[slate swan]

my apologizes.. my english teacher is dumb.. so is my english :")

Return loads(fp.red() ??

[quaint epoch]

@formal basin

[cold sonnet]

the error is coming from the lib's source code?

[formal basin]

Ik

[quaint epoch]

okay now im confused

[slate swan]

it seemed to be fine before this sentence

[quaint epoch]

what is going

what error is occurring and on what line?

[slate swan]

i was proving that sentence in that sentence lol

[slate swan]

its okay, i told them what was required

[cold sonnet]

he used a method of the json lib and the error occured in that code, probably because of an argument passed in wrongly

[quaint epoch]

dude @slate swan , your repos is a one time open. if you open the link and try to open it another tab, it will crash

then restart the browser

my cpu usage is 100%

[cold sonnet]

the file the error comes from is literally there

python libs 3.8 blabla blabla init.py

can you host a database on repl

[slate swan]

host?

why though

[cold sonnet]

can repl host it for you

[slate swan]

idts

[cold sonnet]

are you tryna say idiots

[slate swan]

precisely

[cold sonnet]

rude

[slate swan]

totally me

[cold sonnet]

well cuz you could get something better than json

[quaint epoch]

doesn't repl provide a free 50 mb db?

[slate swan]

inbuilt

within a repl

[quaint epoch]

50 mb isn't a lot, but for a small bot in 2 servers, it's great

[cold sonnet]

in 2 servers like python and dpy

sounds horrible

[quaint epoch]

lets be real, none of us are popular enough to have those kinds of servers, and if we did we would pick a proper hosting and db service

[slate swan]

I mean, sqlite and postgre still exist

[cold sonnet]

does it on repl tho

[quaint epoch]

idk

[slate swan]

yes

[quaint epoch]

wait we are discussing db's, right?

#databases

im not going there, but you can

[slate swan]

i'll just go away now, switching channels is a lot of work

[quaint epoch]

bro

[cold sonnet]

get the channel from that

[quaint epoch]

you pulled a channel_id, not a channel

[hushed galleon]

replit's db is key-value, which i cant imagine would be very convenient for the kind of data you'd be storing from discord, e.g. per-server settings or economy systems

[quaint epoch]

try to pull the channel from the guild

[cold sonnet]

economy bots are overrated

[formal basin]

I pull out the name?

[livid jacinth]

Hey i try to make a giveaway command but if i try to run the command i get this error discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'set' and 'int'

My Code:

@bot.command(name="giveaway")
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def giveaway(ctx, mins : int, *, prize: str):
    user=ctx.author
    end = datetime.datetime.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(seconds= mins*60)
    embed = discord.Embed( title = "**Giveaway**", description = f"Host: {user}\nPrize: {prize}", color=discord.Color.gold())
    embed.add_field(name= "Ends at:", value=f"{end} (in {mins}min)")

    gwmsg = await ctx.send(embed = embed)
    await gwmsg.add_reaction("🎉")

    await asyncio.sleep(mins)
    gwmsg1 = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(gwmsg.id)
    users = await gwmsg1.reactions[0].users().flatten()
    users.pop(users.index(bot.user))
    winner = random.choice(users)
    await ctx.send(f"{winner.mention} hat {prize} gewonnen!")

[quaint epoch]

except dankmemer, don't you dare damn touch it

[cold sonnet]

you dare tell me dank memer is an economy bot

[quaint epoch]

you tried to compare a set and an integer

try this-

[cold sonnet]

<= ain't even in your code

[formal basin]

So guild_id?

[cold sonnet]

no

you got the channel_id, use it to get the channel

[quaint epoch]

no, channel = member.guild.get_channel(channel_id)

[cold sonnet]

just channel

[quaint epoch]

channel = member.guild.get_channel(channel)

[cold sonnet]

can we see more of your error?

[quaint epoch]

where is <=?

hu

okay but we don't know where this line is cuz you didn't send it

it's also a different error 🤔

[cold locust]

if i do

await asyncio.sleep(1)```
how can i edit msg
i tried `await msg.edit("world!")`
got `discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: edit() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given`

[cold sonnet]

await msg.edit(content="world!")

[livid jacinth]

But i only have this command in the python file

[cold sonnet]

maybe it came from
users = await gwmsg1.reactions[0].users().flatten()
?

can't be, you fetched the message again

[quaint epoch]

eh

why ping

[cold sonnet]

inviting us isn't gonna help

[quaint epoch]

bro

[formal basin]

I didn’t mean to do that

[cold sonnet]

the only thing we can do is check your code and we probably are experienced enough to see the problem

[livid jacinth]

And how can i fix it?

[cold sonnet]

with enough information of course

[quaint epoch]

ctrl + z

[cold locust]

thx

worked

[cold sonnet]

I said maybe, I don't know which line you got the error at

[formal basin]

What will that do?

[quaint epoch]

channel_id, is an id, so the int from the json file

you just have to fetch a channel from it

[formal basin]

Yes.

[cold sonnet]

they did mess up bro

lemme look on github

this isn't here in this message

those {}

[neon spear]

Hi guys, I'm using this code for a while. However last week for some reason it stopped working and only giving me one message instead of the 20 limit I gave the bot. Any idea on this, is there a new update?

    channel = bot.get_channel(962066339386777690)    # get channel ID
    async for message in channel.history(limit=20):  # read last 20 messages from channel
        print(message.attachments[0].url)            # print out 20 messages

[cold sonnet]

message intents

oh but it does read 1 message

[neon spear]

Yes it does read 1 message instead the 20 i gave him :S

[cold sonnet]

did u change something

something else

[neon spear]

Nope, haven't changed anything for like 1 year

[cold sonnet]

are there more stuff in that for loop

[neon spear]

Here the whole function for a better understanding

@bot.command()
async def updb(ctx):
    collection.drop()
    time.sleep(1)
    channel = bot.get_channel(962066339386777690)
    async for message in channel.history(limit=20):
        print(message.attachments[0].url)
        urlArray.append(url)

    for url in urlArray:
        print(url)
        collection.insert_one({"url": url}

[left crater]

they changed it in 2.0

you have to use list comps now

messages = [messages async for messages in channel.history(limit=None)]looks something like this

[neon spear]

Oof, okay will check this out

[left crater]

also you should use asyncio.sleep

time.sleep is blocking

[neon spear]

print(message.attachments[0].url) isn't working anymore (changed it to messages) and it seems like it's still printing out 1 message from the channel

[dull terrace]

what would be the best method for checking for dates connected to an image and deleting older ones? I'm thinking a very slow loop to spread out the cpu usage that checks each image because it's not time sensitive.

[hushed galleon]

you dont have to use list comps, and as for their use of async for message in channel.history() this is still backwards compatible so that is likely not the issue

[hushed galleon]

do you have an on_command_error event? your urlArray seems to be undefined at least in that command, so it seems plausible that your command has abruptly stopped due to an error but was eaten by an error handler

as for the print not working, if you didnt tweak the limit=None in their example your bot would fetch every message in the channel, possibly hitting ratelimits

[neon spear]

I do not have an on_command_error event and that's why i'm using limit=20

[brisk plover]

Hey, so if i have a message.content and im using .startswith("OE")
I want to find if it starts with OE or oe, regardless of uppercare or lowercase.

[neon spear]

It's weird because i haven't changed the code for like a year or even longer

[hushed galleon]

hm did you update discord.py recently or is it still on a stable version

[neon spear]

Didn't update anything

[hushed galleon]

oh and is it guaranteed that every message in your channel will have at least one attachment?

[junior verge]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
    
            channel = self.client.get_channel(962081173545287691)
            embed = Embed(
                description=f"Message sent in {message.channel.mention}", color=0x4040EC
            ).set_author(name=message.author, url=Embed.Empty, icon_url=message.author.avatar_url)

            embed.add_field(name="Message", value=message.content)
            embed.add_field(name="User ID:", value=message.author.id, inline=False)
            embed.timestamp = message.created_at
            await channel.send(embed=embed)
``` This is just for testing but how do I add that images also show in here as it gives me this error

[hushed galleon]

use .lower() on the content to lowercase it before making your comparison

[neon spear]

Running on version 1.7.3 btw. That channel is an images only channel

[junior verge]

Anyone please

[honest shoal]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

set_image(*, url)```
Sets the image for the embed content.

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

[junior verge]

it works tho

[sick birch]

embed.add_field(..., value=(message.content or "No message content"))

[honest shoal]

oh

[junior verge]

What's the ...?

[sick birch]

Anything

The important part is the or

Other stuff can be whatever, isn't that important

[junior verge]

Do you get me just wondering

[sick birch]

The problem arises that just because a message doesn't have message.content doesn't mean it's an image

For example it could be a message like so:

[junior verge]

Oh

[sick birch]

_ _

That would also throw an error when deleted

[junior verge]

wait so instead of my

deleted.add_field(name="Message", value=message.content)

[sick birch]

Yes it needs to be message.content or "No message content"

!e

x = None
print(x or "x was none")

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

x was none

[junior verge]

Can I also make it so images show up there

[sick birch]

You would need an additional check

[junior verge]

How?

[sick birch]

To see if the message had any attachments

if message.attachments:
  # message has attachments
else:
  # message was just an empty message

[junior verge]

Like if message.attachments then embed.add field?

not really sure on how to do that

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message_delete(self, message):
    
            channel = self.client.get_channel(954837357239091260)
            deleted = Embed(
                description=f"Message deleted in {message.channel.mention}", color=0x4040EC
            ).set_author(name=message.author, url=Embed.Empty, icon_url=message.author.avatar_url)

            if message.attachments:
                deleted.add_field()
            else:
                deleted.add_field(name="Message:", value=(message.content or "No message content"))
                deleted.timestamp = message.created_at
            await channel.send(embed=deleted)
``` something like that

Then add something if its a image

[hushed galleon]

first you need to consider where could you show the image in your embed https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/343944376055103488/802792106778427412/image0.png

[junior verge]

Don't really mind at all

Just want the image to show thats it

[hushed galleon]

you cant show an image in your embed if you dont know where images can be shown in your embed

[junior verge]

Oh yeah I get where they are shown

[hushed galleon]

but you wrote add_field() which is related to these things

[junior verge]

I know

[hushed galleon]

what you're looking for is what akg referenced earlier

[junior verge]

Just don't know what to put in it yet

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message_delete(self, message):
    
            channel = self.client.get_channel(954837357239091260)
            deleted = Embed(
                description=f"Message deleted in {message.channel.mention}", color=0x4040EC
            ).set_author(name=message.author, url=Embed.Empty, icon_url=message.author.avatar_url)

            if message.attachments:
                deleted.set_image(*, url)
            else:
                deleted.add_field(name="Message:", value=(message.content or "No message content"))
                deleted.timestamp = message.created_at
            await channel.send(embed=deleted)
``` how do I do that with the (*, url)

[hushed galleon]

in documentation and when defining your own functions, writing a * means any parameters after it are keyword-only

[junior verge]

So what should I set the parameters to?

[hushed galleon]

def download(*, url):
    ...  # the magic of the internet

>>> download(url='https://link.to.my.favourite.image.png')```

in your case the url you want is the attachment's url

[junior verge]

Sorry I got no clue on how to do this in my case

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Attachment.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment.url

The attachment URL. If the message this attachment was attached to is deleted, then this will 404.

[junior verge]

Ah okay

[hushed galleon]

and you can get a list of attachments from message.attachments

[junior verge]

Hm?

(self, message, attachment):
``` do i do that?

[hushed galleon]

no, your message object already has the attachments within it

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message.

[junior verge]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message_delete(self, message):
    
            channel = self.client.get_channel(954837357239091260)
            deleted = Embed(
                description=f"Message deleted in {message.channel.mention}", color=0x4040EC
            ).set_author(name=message.author, url=Embed.Empty, icon_url=message.author.avatar_url)

            if message.attachments:
                deleted.set_image(message.attachment.url)
            else:
                deleted.add_field(name="Message:", value=(message.content or "No message content"))
                deleted.timestamp = message.created_at
            await channel.send(embed=deleted)
``` how would that be?

[hushed galleon]

the attribute is attachments, plural, and you need to index the first attachment from it like you would with a regular list

!e py fruits = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana'] print('The second fruit is', fruits[1])

[unkempt canyon]

@hushed galleon :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

The second fruit is orange

[slate swan]

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[TESTING_GUILD_ID], description="Repeats your message")
async def echo(interaction: Interaction, arg: nextcord.Message = SlashOption(description="Message")):
    await interaction.response.send_message(arg)```

[junior verge]

But how do I do that with my attachments? hm?

[slate swan]

How do I make arg and actual argument

[junior verge]

@hushed galleon

[hushed galleon]

what you need to ask yourself is how do you get the first item from a list in general, and knowing the answer to that question will naturally let you figure out how to index the first item from a message's list of attachments

[junior verge]

I just don't get it

Just if someone delets a message, IF it has a image then show the image as well thats just it

[hushed galleon]

well there's a caveat to that which means a different solution is needed, but its worth knowing that the solution i suggested you is based on the most essential knowledge, so its really important you learn instance attributes and lists

[junior verge]

I know them.... I just don't get what you are trying to tell

[hushed galleon]

anyway after a message is deleted, any of its attachments are eventually deleted from discord, so you need to download it and reupload it as an attachment in your log

[junior verge]

oh okay

[hushed galleon]

after you get the first attachment from the message you can download it using the to_file() method with the use_cached=True argument (which works better for recently deleted messages), then embed it using set_image() following this <#discord-bots message>

as for the filename you can get it with the .filename attribute of your File object

!d discord.File.filename

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File.filename

property filename```
The filename to display when uploading to Discord. If this is not given then it defaults to `fp.name` or if `fp` is a string then the `filename` will default to the string given.

[junior verge]

I don't need it like that, but thanks

U sure

Yes... all my moderation commands are in the same cog and work

[slate swan]

Then

[torn sail]

Do u have any other methods in the cog named lock?

[junior verge]

unlock

[torn sail]

The exact same name?

Nope just unlock

Yeah it used to work like 20m ago lmao

[slate swan]

Well ur code looks fine

Just make sure that ur cog is loaded

[torn sail]

Ur unlock function is named lock

[junior verge]

oh fuck lmfaoo

sorry for wasting your guys time lmao

[torn sail]

All good

[slate swan]

Its all good

[torn sail]

Happened to me before

[slate swan]

💀stop reading ma mind sir

[slate swan]

Same ngl

[junior verge]

My lock and unlock do nothing now, not even a error

[slate swan]

😭😭😭😭

Can we see the whole code?

[junior verge]

Prints xD

[junior verge]

from lock and unlock?

[slate swan]

Yes

[junior verge]

@commands.command(name="lock", description="Locks a channel so users can't speak it in")
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)

            await ctx.send(f"I have unlocked `{channel.name}` for you")

[slate swan]

But i think the issue is in the name and the async def since name and async def have the same name

Idk try to change the names?

[junior verge]

That's no issue lol

I have that for like all my commands

[slate swan]

Then idk tbh

[slate swan]

Well just check if the cog is loaded since it says that the command not found

[junior verge]

Cog is loaded.

[junior verge]

It doesn't say that its not found

[slate swan]

What it says?

[junior verge]

Nothing lol

[slate swan]

Can u !paste cuz im on phone i cant see ur code clearly

[junior verge]

kk

[slate swan]

Alr

[junior verge]

!paste

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/upajegudat

[slate swan]

Oh well its bc u put the code inside if and elif statnts

Statements***

Also the default role always in the channel overwrites so no need to add that

[junior verge]

what about it?

@commands.command(name="unlock", description="Unlocks a channel so users can speak in it")
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
    async def unlock(self, ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel=None):
        channel = channel or ctx.channel
        overwrites = {ctx.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(send_messages=True)}
        await channel.edit(overwrites=overwrites)
        await ctx.send(f"I have unlocked `{channel.name}` for you")
``` so just like this

[slate swan]

Ye and u can add if statement to check if send_messages is enabled or disabled

[lucid vine]

class Dropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self):

can someone help me iterating through my views children because else idk how ima get the items in my views

Average discord users have died

[hoary cargo]

??? why would you have buttons on dropdowns and use them like this

just use a regular embed if you gonna use buttons

[lucid vine]

No

I want to use like dropdowns for categories

And buttons to like direct pages

[hoary cargo]

i mean, when a user pics a category you can just display him an embed with the commands in that category, i don't see why would you need buttons, tbh it's a pretty twisted thing

[lucid vine]

The nsfw list is like realllllyyyy long

Thats why i wanted to add pages

And navigate with the buttons

[hoary cargo]

really long like? it does have more than 20-30 commands?

[lucid vine]

Yes

If i display it in 1 embed

Its like spam

bot

[hoary cargo]

well, a solution would be to add another option for Part 2 of nsfw, i don't know how well works buttons with dropdowns together

[lucid vine]

Yeahh but what if some users oversee the option for part 2 of nsfw

https://tenor.com/view/tenz-gif-21693533

[sick birch]

Let's adhere to the channel topic and not shitpost, please

[lucid vine]

Are u made out of sugar

[sick birch]

It does not appear so, no

[lucid vine]

Then why so tight

Do you ride sticks

[lucid vine]

Plus how do i make so the dropdown is only interactable for 1 user

Who initiated the cmd

[full lily]

What's your problem?

[sick birch]

Because it's important to adhere to the rules to provide a better user experience for all

[lucid vine]

No problem whats ur problem

[lucid vine]

I just send a gif pls calm down

[boreal ravine]

Chill out

[sick birch]

Let's just refrain from doing that in the future, thanks 🙂

Now, back to the problem at hand

[hoary cargo]

damn i left for a bit and people already arguing

[hoary cargo]

why don't you make it ephemeral, like the embeds sent, this way won't really matter if more people could interact with the same dropdown

[slate swan]

what the heck happened here

[haughty quartz]

how do they use a different one-line code

in a embed

[sick birch]

Timestamps?

[slate swan]

!e print("hello\nworld!")

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | hello
002 | world!

[slate swan]

this?

im not sure what you mean tbh

[sick birch]

Me neither

[final iron]

Hello okimii 🗿

[haughty quartz]

nah, one is darker than the other

[final iron]

Oh you mean this?

[haughty quartz]

yes

[sick birch]

Because the first one is a timestamp, the 2nd line is a single line code block

[haughty quartz]

interesting

[sick birch]

Quite

[haughty quartz]

how does that work though? how do i create such a timestamp

[slate swan]

`hello world`

like that

[sick birch]

<t:1649455760:F>
Like so?

[slate swan]

you could use a datetime obj

[slate swan]

hi hi

[haughty quartz]

<t>

[haughty quartz]

and how can I convert it into the timestamp discord thing

[sick birch]

You need the UNIX timestamp

In seconds

[slate swan]

you could just enclose them in the datetime tags discord uses

[haughty quartz]

alright, thanks a lot @slate swan @sick birch !

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[twilit tusk]

Does anyone know how can I host a bot for free?

[slate swan]

Replit.

Quick answer

[final iron]

No.

[twilit tusk]

Replit does not have all time hosting

I need to be on as long as I can

[final iron]

Not really any good options. Maybe an old laptop?

You don't need anything powerful

Oracle free tier is also an option

[slate swan]

Literally the only choice im guessing they dont have a cc so they cant try free trials from big companies like google or they dont have an laptop sitting around i dont see other options

[slate swan]

Dont u need a cc for that too

[final iron]

It's a terrible option.

[final iron]

Yes.

[slate swan]

Any other options besides the one u need a cc for?

[final iron]

Not really

[slate swan]

Mhmm

[final iron]

Replit is a terrible option though

[twilit tusk]

I don't have a cc though. So idk

Thanks for the help tho <3

[final iron]

If you have a bit of cash you could probably buy a prepaid cc from a gas station

Then buy a cheap host

[twilit tusk]

I tried... But in here I couldn't find anything

I live in argentina :/

[slate swan]

Hm? Dont u need ur name and billing address for that tho

Also the phone number is probably linked to that person

[final iron]

Not sure.

Asking friends for an old laptop is an option. You don't need anything really powerful for hosting

[slate swan]

Idk at what age u can get a debit card but i think its from 15 and up

[twilit tusk]

I do have a debit card... But tbh I don't feel like paying 15 usd a month for a host for a single bot

[final iron]

There are cheaper options in the pins

[slate swan]

so im having a problem with this reactrole code is

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_raw_reaction_add(self, payload):
        messageID=961835417320161310

        if messageID== payload.message_id:
            member=payload.member
            guild=member.guild

            emoji= payload.emoji.name
            if emoji==":black_drip:":
                role=discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="evnt")
            if emoji==":BlackFire:":
                role=discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="gw")
            await member.add_roles(role)```

i get an error of: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'role' referenced before assignment

i think it has to do with something around the "await member.add_roles(role) part idk

but does anyone know how to fix this issue? thx

[slate swan]

!e

def a():
    print(b)
    b = 1
a()

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

[potent helm]

role doesn't exist if neither if statement fires

[slate swan]

hmm yea so do u know how i could make them "fire"?

thats not his point

hes saying role would be undefined if both of those conditions are False

[potent helm]

            if emoji==":black_drip:":
                role=discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="evnt")
            elif emoji==":BlackFire:":
                role=discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="gw")
            else:
                return
            await member.add_roles(role)

That's one way to do it

Minimal alteration to existing code

[slate swan]

i actually tried this with no postitive result then i changed it back to what i have

that exact same thing

then you must had something wrong.

[potent helm]

Is there a different error message with the code I sent?

[pliant gulch]

You should verify that emoji.name is either :black_drip: or :BlackFire: EXACTLY since those seem to be custom emojis?

You should print payload.emoji.name for each reaction and see what exactly you should be doing

:black_drip: etc to me seem wrong

[potent helm]

[stuck oyster]

line 93, in button_callback2
    await interaction.response.defer.send_message(f"Your ticket has been created, go to {channel.mention}", ephemeral=True)
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'send_message'```

[stuck oyster]

When i pressed the button it showed an error saying timedout, the button did not respond after 3 seconds that I should try interaction.response.defer

[final iron]

Send all of your code

[stuck oyster]

its like 300 lines uhm ill see

[final iron]

Like not all, all

Just the function

[stuck oyster]

its a class

await interaction.response.defer.send_message(f"Your ticket has been created, go to {channel.mention}", ephemeral=True)```

what of this? because that is where the problem is

[torn sail]

Well you can send a message or defer

[stuck oyster]

what do you mean

[torn sail]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[flat solstice]

is there a way for me to manually spawn more shards for a AutoShardedBot

[torn sail]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[stuck oyster]

oh

so if I use defer it would send

[torn sail]

You are doing interaction.defer.send_message

[sonic patio]

how to get emoji from name

[torn sail]

No defer sends the “thinking”

[torn sail]

Sends a message

[stuck oyster]

so ineraction.response.defer(..., ephemeral=True)

[torn sail]

That wouldn’t send a message

So what r u trying to do

[stuck oyster]

sends the message

it works

its just that it times out if it doesnt respond in 3secs

[torn sail]

Ohhhh

Then use defer and then use interaction.followup.send to respond

[stuck oyster]

what do you mean?

[torn sail]

So to indicate that u may take over 3 seconds u use interaction.response.defer(…)

[flat solstice]

thanks, that's what i as looking for

[torn sail]

Then interaction.followup.send(…) to respond with messages

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[quaint epoch]

okay yeah that works

[stuck oyster]

        await interaction.response.defer()
        await interaction.followup.send(f"Your ticket has been created, go to {channel.mention}", ephemeral=True)```

[patent hemlock]

https://libs.advaith.io/ which library is good

[stuck oyster]

like this?

[patent hemlock]

hi invisible name

[torn sail]

Yeah

Not sure if ephemeral works with that tho

[boreal ravine]

discord.py

[patent hemlock]

really?

[boreal ravine]

yes?

[patent hemlock]

oh

maybe I should use discord.js

[boreal ravine]

go for it

[patent hemlock]

why is discord.py good

what about hikair and interaction.py

[boreal ravine]

it's not, it sucks honestly

[torn sail]

I don’t think interaction.py supports message based commands. I’ve heard hikari gives more control to the user and is more advanced

[patent hemlock]

Idk much about it, but I just heard hikari is better from some ppl

[slate swan]

it honestly depends on skill and preference

[boreal ravine]

it does

[patent hemlock]

what kind of preference

[slate swan]

personal preference

[torn sail]

Oh ok

[patent hemlock]

preference of what

[slate swan]

to me i like disnake because of its impl

[patent hemlock]

ok

[quaint epoch]

hear me out: amogus

jk, but just a question

difference between discord.Client and discord.ext.commands.Bot

and could i use discord.Client to make new discord client(i know against tos, but im not)

idk how to do it anyway

[boreal ravine]

Bot = a subclass of Client, has support for text commands
Client = has support for discord stuff only

[boreal ravine]

Is that even possible?

[quaint epoch]

so technically, it would be possible to make a client with .Bot?

if you can make a client with .Client

[boreal ravine]

yeah, it's a subclass of Client

wait what client?

[slate swan]

The Client class is the super class of the Bot class yes

[hybrid ravine]

is there a way to get all the messages in a chabnnel?

[tough lance]

Technically that's self botting.

[quaint epoch]

yeah i know

[boreal ravine]

yes, use the TextChannel.history method (count could be inaccurate)

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[quaint epoch]

channel.history i believe

just limit=None to loop through all messages

[hybrid ravine]

ty 🙂

[pulsar thunder]

I have a question again I used

If they in message.content:
do some stuff

Thing is it's also detecting hey in the word they sooo.... how to fix it?

[sick birch]

The other way around

Oh never mind misread that

[hybrid ravine]

is there a waqy to gather all the channels in a server (as names)with all the messages?

[pulsar thunder]

Name to appear with message in output log?@hybrid ravine

[hybrid ravine]

prety much what im tryna do is smth like xenon which creates backups.

[pulsar thunder]

Not familiar with xenon sorry

[hybrid ravine]

thats ok 🙂

[pulsar thunder]

In my code I got it to recognize every message in the server and print the message along with the guy who sent it and channel name

The code on first pic with some closing statements later like return and such@hybrid ravine

[hybrid ravine]

that is so helpful ty

lemme take a look

[pulsar thunder]

Sad thing it was not even the purpose of the bot

Also any commands with the word list just ignore them

[supple thorn]

Oh yeah i remember xenon

[hybrid ravine]

can someone help?

<discord.iterators.HistoryIterator object at 0x000001E03DBD0790>

im tryna get it to come up with the history of the channel i message in and this is the return i get

[heavy folio]

are you flattening it and are you on 2.0

[slate swan]

super class as the parent class and not subclass as the child class!

[slate swan]

youre trying to print the actual obj

[sick birch]

superclass and subclass sound familliar. just misread, my bad

[merry cliff]

dont print iterator

[slate swan]

yeah

[hybrid ravine]

oh yeah... how would i get the content from it?

[slate swan]

its an iterator so just iterate through it

[fossil aspen]

hey mind helping me w sum?

i need to know how to remove all members from a certain role

[slate swan]

!d discord.Role.members | it returns a list so just iterate through it

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

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

[hybrid ravine]

loop thru the members who have the role and post a request to remove them from that role

[pulsar thunder]

If it's not a bot work I have an idea

Delete the role and create role again

[slate swan]

really depends on the situation guys! greate suggestions tho

[fossil aspen]

yea i tried this but it wont work

role_names = ("Co Host")
roles = tuple(get(ctx.guild.roles, name=n) for n in role_names)
for member in ctx.guild.members:
try:
await member.remove_roles(*roles)
except:
print(f"Couldn't remove roles from {member}")

error: Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'get' is not defined

@slate swan

@hybrid ravine

[slate swan]

well thats pretty unnecessary

just use the members property in a role obj?

im getting this as a return now

[slate swan]

well youre trying to print a message obj

[fossil aspen]

how would i fix that tho idk much py

[slate swan]

^

[sick birch]

Print message.content

[pulsar thunder]

Any help with this too?

[sick birch]

Can we see your actual code as opposed to psuedo-code?

[pulsar thunder]

I have some screenshots

Lemme put new ones

[slate swan]

it really shouldn't. you probably tried to iterate through each char?

[pulsar thunder]

?

Wait lemme send screenshots

[hybrid ravine]

is there a way to define "message" Outside of a function/params?

[pulsar thunder]

Below this is just the token and other stuff

[slate swan]

not sure whats the problem but theirs allot of unnecessary converting of types here

[sick birch]

Sounds XY problem-ish. Why would you wanna do that?

[pulsar thunder]

I'm planning on adding more stuff

[sick birch]

You aren't meant to instantiate discord.Member class yourself anyway

[slate swan]

1. the member class has a name attr which returns only the name of the member without discriminator
2. the content attr in the message class already returns a string so does the name attr in the textchannel class

[pulsar thunder]

Ye I know I will remove it later

Did u mean user_message?

[slate swan]

pardon?

[hybrid ravine]

im tryna just set mesage to a constant definition instead of constantly passing it thru

[slate swan]

just make a global variable?

[hybrid ravine]

tbh not a big problem so idrm if theres no better way

[sick birch]

Passing it through where?

[pulsar thunder]

I meant were u referring to the conversion happening for user_message?

[sick birch]

You're not supposed to instantiate a message class by yourself

[slate swan]

xylo are you trying to have a global base message by saving a string or?

[hybrid ravine]

actually yk what dw about it ima keep using it in the same way, its not that big of a deal

[slate swan]

😅

[hybrid ravine]

like async def random_function_name(message)

[slate swan]

ah just use a listener

[pulsar thunder]

I don't actually have idea on classes so if u could simplify it would be great

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

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

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

Example...

[sick birch]

This looks very similar to that one tutorial

[slate swan]

just use the name kwarg and set it to on_message

[hybrid ravine]

ohh ok ty 🙂

[sick birch]

I hope you're not following a youtube tutorial?

[pulsar thunder]

Yep

[sick birch]

I can sniff out youtube tutorials from miles away

[sick birch]

Ah, crud

[pulsar thunder]

Saw it coz I didn't know how to add discord stuff in python without lagging

[sick birch]

Well, uh, ditch that code and start over before you get any more terrible code in

[slate swan]

i cant really explain oop all together maybe check out Corey Schafer !

[pulsar thunder]

Ok

[slate swan]

just use the name kwarg and set the event name their and then you can name the function anything

[pulsar thunder]

@sick birch

[sick birch]

What do you mean by "without lagging"?

[pulsar thunder]

Async function

[hybrid ravine]

got it

[slate swan]

coroutines arent "laggy"

[sick birch]

How is an async function lagging?

[slate swan]

i am so confused

[pulsar thunder]

Not lag slow

[sick birch]

You and me both

[slate swan]

coroutines arent slow?

[sick birch]

Oh. Then yes, regular functions block

I'm guessing they tried to make a discord bot without using coroutines

[pulsar thunder]

Yes

[sick birch]

Which I don't even know is possible

[slate swan]

thats still not slow.

[sick birch]

Also while you're at it, get off replit too

[pulsar thunder]

Ok

[sick birch]

Then you can properly make discord bots

[slate swan]

its just one gets executed from top to bottom while one can get executed asynchronous hence the name async functions or coroutines

its just the manor of its execution!

[sick birch]

Not to mention regular functions block the event loop

[slate swan]

yep

[sick birch]

So you shouldn't mix and match if you can avoid it

[pulsar thunder]

So it make async faster right?

This is my first attempt

[slate swan]

no.

[sick birch]

Not necessarily

[slate swan]

search for the term asynchronous

[sick birch]

Async is used in I/O environments which isn't very demanding in the first place

So it can't be "faster"

Since you wait around 90% of the time

[slate swan]

^

[pulsar thunder]

Ok

I will

[sick birch]

It's like one of those choose your own adventure books

Vs reading the book from cover to cover

[pulsar thunder]

Hmm

[sick birch]

You go to page 5 and it says, if you want to do X, go to page 10, if you want to Y, go to page 25

[slate swan]

its like you have a collection of 5 episodes but one watched them by order and the other watches them unordered

[sick birch]

That's basically asynchronous

[pulsar thunder]

Oh

[slate swan]

and it can be executed many times unlike sync which you would have to wait for the function to stop its execution first

[hybrid ravine]

depends

[slate swan]

not really

[slate swan]

^^^

[sick birch]

The reason discord.py is written asynchronously is that behind the scenenes, there are a few while True loops going on, and you can't keep something running with a while True loop in the same thread

[pulsar thunder]

Oh

[primal cliff]

hi how can i fix the error Attribute Error: "Bot" object has no attribute "has_permissions"

[sick birch]

It's @commands.has_permissions()

[primal cliff]

ok let me check

[slate swan]

i thought it was done because of gateway events etc😔

[sick birch]

That too

[slate swan]

lmao

[sick birch]

But primarily heartbeating and polling for events

[slate swan]

yeah

[sick birch]

both are while true if you do a lil source diving

[slate swan]

it does make sense allot of things come in to play

[primal cliff]

OHH it worked TYYYY

[sick birch]

Indeed. When you aren't using an event driven language (js for instance) you have to do things like that

[slate swan]

make me a promise😔

[pliant gulch]

And also because all commands would need to wait for the one before it to finish

[slate swan]

yeah it would be annoying

imagine your bot not responding because the command is being used in another guild

[hybrid ravine]

async def get_channel(message):
guildID = message.get_guild.id()
ob = client.get_guild(guildID)
guild_name = guildID.name()
channels = []
with open(f'info/{guildID}/channels.txt', 'a') as txt:
channelcount = 0
for channel in ob.channels:
txt.write(str(channel.name) + '\n')
channelcount += 1
channels.append(channel)

would smth like this work? to get all the channel names in a guild and storer them?

[primal cliff]

uhh so the bot goes online but with the ban command it is not responding.

ban and kick*

[hybrid ravine]

show thw command

[primal cliff]

ok sure

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.channels just iterate through all the channels and use the name attr

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.channels

property channels```
A list of channels that belongs to this guild.

[primal cliff]

here

[primal cliff]

here ^

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.name

The channel name.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command

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

[slate swan]

im not sure if it takes positional arguments

and im not sure what the perm deco returns but you should put it above the function signature

[hybrid ravine]

with open("file", "a")as w:
async for channels in discord.TetxChannel.name:
w.write(channels)?

[primal cliff]

it said:name "args" is not defined

[hybrid ravine]

smth like that? @slate swan

[slate swan]

not quite

[hybrid ravine]

where did u call *args

[slate swan]

its not defined?

[primal cliff]

before the ban and kick codes

[hybrid ravine]

in the params of the functions?

[hybrid ravine]

what would i need to change?

[slate swan]

should be iterating through all channels in a guild and just save the channel name with the given attr

[primal cliff]

idk waht that means

[primal cliff]

yes its not defined

[hybrid ravine]

for channels in guildID?

[hybrid ravine]

yk how u do

async def ban then have ()?

the things that go inside

of those ()

are params/ paramaters

or passintg thru arguments i think

[slate swan]

in the list of the channels which is given with the channels property that returns a list from the Guild class

[hybrid ravine]

oh ok ty

[slate swan]

❤️

[primal cliff]

yes it did have this

so is it possible to fix the args not defined error

[hybrid ravine]

wait send a ss opf ur code now

[primal cliff]

ok

[primal cliff]

so you want to see my entire code or

[hybrid ravine]

just the ban and kick

[primal cliff]

ok then

[astral adder]

🤔

[hybrid ravine]

no

[primal cliff]

uhh

[hybrid ravine]

dnt do that..

[astral adder]

I didn't knew you are here too

[hybrid ravine]

u need to put *args and **kwargs in the function, not the decorators

[primal cliff]

oh ok

[primal cliff]

so I have to remove the brackets?

[slate swan]

why are you passing an unknwon amount arguments to a deco? it should be done in the parameters in the decorator and no need for it

[slate swan]

should read again on what i said.

and i recommend you do learn a bit of python

[primal cliff]

so where should I put it

[astral adder]

import discord #Imports the discord module. from discord.ext import commands #Imports discord extensions. #The below code verifies the "client". client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='pb?') #The below code stores the token. token = "Your token" ''' The below code displays if you have any errors publicly.

''' @client.event async def on_command_error(ctx, error): if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument): await ctx.send('Please pass in all requirements 🙄.') if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions): await ctx.send("You dont have all the requirements 😠") #The below code bans player. @client.command() @commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True) async def ban(ctx, member : discord.Member, *, reason = None): await member.ban(reason = reason) #The below code unbans player. @client.command() @commands.has_permissions(administrator = True) async def unban(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.send(f'Unbanned {user.mention}') return #The below code runs the bot. client.run(token) 

[slate swan]

what is this

[astral adder]

it seems weird In chat

[sick birch]

looks like javascript when minified

[astral adder]

...

[slate swan]

it looks like a nightmare to me

[sick birch]

it broke every single pep to exist

[slate swan]

it follows 9001 bro

[sick birch]

true

[slate swan]

;))

[primal cliff]

so where can I put it

[slate swan]

no where

that extra decorator isnt needed

[primal cliff]

ok the bot is running

but the commands arent working for some reasons

[slate swan]

all of them?

[astral adder]

Uh

[primal cliff]

no only the ban and kick

[slate swan]

theres probably something wrong with it

show code

[primal cliff]

ok then

[primal cliff]

here is the code

[slate swan]

show how you invoked the command

[primal cliff]

wdym

[slate swan]

how you triggered the command

[primal cliff]

run button

[slate swan]

bro

[primal cliff]

oh wait I dont have the trigger

[slate swan]

bro

😭

[primal cliff]

I am dumb 😭

So I found a code on the internet I just need to know how to make the code work. Here is the code:

[supple thorn]

That sentence breaks my soul

[supple thorn]

Member has a mention attribute

!d discord.Member.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the member.

[supple thorn]

I don't know what the fuck is mention.mention though

[fossil aspen]

its the remove all members from a role i been trying for hours

[final iron]

Why not just delete the role?

Delete the role and recreate it

[fossil aspen]

im using role ids with something else

so i cant delete it

its for event purposes to remove all co hosts everytime the endevent cmd is used

[final iron]

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

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

[final iron]

You can loop through the list of members that have the role

And then remove the role with

!d discord.Member.remove_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.remove\_roles

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

Removes [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s from this member.

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 removed [`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.

[final iron]

It can make a lot of API calls though

[fossil aspen]

hm

idk much py so idek what to do to start lmfao

[final iron]

Depending on how many members have the role it can get you rate limited

You'll have to wait for someone else to come. I'm not really in the mood to help someone who doesn't know python

Sorry

[pliant gulch]

You could just clone the role, then delete the role

This would get rid of all the multiple API calls

[final iron]

Already gave him the suggestion

[pliant gulch]

Oh I didn't scroll up high enough

[supple thorn]

Make?

[sterile imp]

RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

[spring flax]

For cloning a role completely, that is all permissions (channels), is there an easier way than iterating through each channel and setting it?

[boreal ravine]

Just a warning

[slate swan]

is it possible for the bot to send a message in all the guilds it is in
if yes can i have an example

[slate swan]

to all the guilds at once

[boreal ravine]

yes ```py
for guild in bot.guilds:
... # get a channel and .send a message

[boreal ravine]

not possible because of how d.py handles rate limits

[slate swan]

hmm

[slate swan]

then await message.send("...")?

[slate swan]

used ctx.send but only sends the message in the channel/guild i sent the message

[boreal ravine]

that doesn't make much sense

[slate swan]

yea

what should i use then

rather than using ctx or message.send

[boreal ravine]

await guild.text_channels[0].send("yo")```

[slate swan]

k ty

[crimson compass]

async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('!ip'):
        embedVar = discord.Embed(title='`IP`', description= '**connect 51.210.223.221**', color=0xe8c02a)
        await message.channel.send(embed=embedVar)```

why doesn't this work?

[boreal ravine]

Which part of it doesn't work?

[crimson compass]

when i type !ip it doesnt send a message

[boreal ravine]

Does your bot have message intents?

[crimson compass]

used the wrong command 😆 sorry

[boreal ravine]

[spring flax]

is there a possible eh for ratelimits?

[boreal ravine]

what's eh?

[spring flax]

error handler*

[boreal ravine]

Not really, d.py already handles rate limits for you

[hasty bison]

how do i send custom emojis?

[cobalt jacinth]

whats the best discord.py alternative now ?

[boreal ravine]

best alternative is d.py

[supple thorn]

I mean i like disnake

[spring flax]

<:EMOJI_NAME:EMOJI_ID>

get it by putting a \ in front of the emoji when sending it

[cobalt jacinth]

ohh discord.py is back ? i just googled.

is this correct ?

[supple thorn]

I suggest just a command for this

Rather than using a on_message event

[supple thorn]

Yes discord.py is being maintained again

By danny

[cobalt jacinth]

should i stay with discord.py...have not had any issue till now.

[boreal ravine]

yes

or you can use a fork (interactions.py, disnake)

[hasty bison]

what zo you mean put a \ , in the code?

[formal basin]

Why is “message” a invalid synax

[slate swan]

... discord.Textchannel, *, message

[boreal ravine]

discord.TextChannel, *, message):

[formal basin]

Mine is the same

Wait no ctx?

[boreal ravine]

it's not

you're missing a comma next to discord.TextChannel

[formal basin]

Oh

[slate swan]

@formal basin take .... as whatever was there

💀

[formal basin]

Ok

I def it in the ctx

[boreal ravine]

Show the commands parameters

[formal basin]

Ok

1 sec

[supple thorn]

Is anyone else's discord dying wtf

[slate swan]

💀i doubt if you've correct intent

[slate swan]

owo?

[boreal ravine]

No

[slate swan]

wdym? ;'/ dying?

[supple thorn]

Put a \ infront of the emoji and send it here in discord

Example 😳

\😳

Turns to that

[boreal ravine]

\😳

[supple thorn]

You can also get custom emojis

[supple thorn]

!ducky_drawing

[slate swan]

show intent @formal basin

[supple thorn]

I keep reconnecting but it isn't my wifi

[slate swan]

or like code ig if you're comfortable iwth it

[slate swan]

ooohhh okk

💀 that sounds like a problem tbh

[supple thorn]

It's been like this since earlier

[formal basin]

My intents are crazy

[supple thorn]

Started today

[slate swan]

vsc, right?

[formal basin]

N

[supple thorn]

Nope replit

Sadly😔

[slate swan]

💀

there should be some option to fix it ig 💀

[formal basin]

Nvm fixed my error

[slate swan]

gg

[supple thorn]

Also why are you using a a f-string

[slate swan]

hmm try to re-install ig?

[supple thorn]

Just send the message variable

[formal basin]

Cause you can if you want

[supple thorn]

You don't need a f-string

[supple thorn]

Yeah but it isn't needed and it's useless

[formal basin]

Yes I do what if someone did {member.name}

[slate swan]

ok ok cool

[supple thorn]

What?

[slate swan]

first, i hope rest of ur intentation si correct

[formal basin]

On the command

[slate swan]

and this thing is inside ur welcome_setup function

[supple thorn]

Even if you pinged someone using the command

[supple thorn]

It'd ping them back

[formal basin]

It will send there message

[slate swan]

💀

[supple thorn]

Also why would they say {member.mention}?

[slate swan]

hmm

+1 ^

[formal basin]

Because I’m doing a welcome setup

And I’m just adding custom messages

[slate swan]

but u aren't adding that 'message' in your json.. if u do that.. then ok

but here u are simply sending it in the channel :'/

[supple thorn]

Ok

[formal basin]

Yes

[supple thorn]

Also why is everything inside your with open?

[formal basin]

What do I replace here

[slate swan]

eh? message.contex?

[formal basin]

Idk I thought that would work lol

[slate swan]

there is message.content

[formal basin]

!d discord.message.content

[unkempt canyon]

Nah.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=message content#discord.Message.content

!d discord.Message.content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

[slate swan]

idk how to use this bot lol

[formal basin]

Well content doesn’t work

[slate swan]

i don't even know what u tryna do lol

i just told that there is nothing like message.context

there is message.content

[formal basin]

I just need to display my message into my json file

[formal basin]

Or dump

[slate swan]

💀 bro just show me the whole code of welcome setup.. everytime u show bits of the code.. & some or the other shit happens

this function welcome_setup, use pastebin if u want

!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.

[formal basin]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/raw/iwepavoxek

[slate swan]

hmm

indentation doesn't look good to me

[formal basin]

Which line

[slate swan]

all

[supple thorn]

All

[formal basin]

How?

[slate swan]

intentation is gap of 4 space

[maiden fable]

Time to implement PEP 9001 👀

[slate swan]

not 2

[slate swan]

OwO is it better than PEP 8?

[formal basin]

You want me to indent from line 496 to 504

[slate swan]

idr number exactly nvm

[maiden fable]

Ofc

.pep 9001

[slate swan]

🙂 bro, tell me one thing.. why r u not using vsc? this repl.. i never used.. idk how u gonna correct ur intentation... and since it's here.. i believe that whole file gonna be like that

[maiden fable]

Rip @lament depot

[slate swan]

but ig ur code is working right? so .. ahahah idk me nub

:'/

[slate swan]

😐 oh i see

[formal basin]

Fixed my issue

But not this

[heavy folio]

what

[formal basin]

What do I put there

[slate swan]

just message

not message.contet or whatever

[formal basin]

Ok

[slate swan]

because it should be taken from the parameter that you've passed in the welcome_setup funciton

[formal basin]

Oh

Ok

I have a problem

It’s not sending the message

And I got no error

Anything wrong here

[slate swan]

its not a thing

[formal basin]

Ok how could I get the message

[heavy folio]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[heavy folio]

you fetch message from a text channel not guild

[slate swan]

and you need to send the message's content not the whole object

plus, what if the welcome message gets deleted

[formal basin]

That’s fetching the id

[heavy folio]

what

[formal basin]

Here

[slate swan]

you want to fetch username and discriminator?

[heavy folio]

...

[formal basin]

No…

[slate swan]

hm catch me up

[formal basin]

I want to fetch my message from the json file

[slate swan]

what's currently in the welcome.json now?

[slate swan]

you are over-writing the message, delete the second line

[formal basin]

Like a couple of channel ids and names also 1 message

[formal basin]

Ok

Done

Deleted it

[slate swan]

it should work now

[formal basin]

Ok

[slate swan]

@slate swan with open('jsonfile') will load the json too?

[formal basin]

Yes

[slate swan]

so it's the same as doing

json.load(file)

[slate swan]

well it will

[slate swan]

interesting

[visual island]

It will load the file, but won't parse the json

[slate swan]

ah that's what I thought it did

@formal basin did it work?

[formal basin]

No

[slate swan]

what's it doing

[formal basin]

Not sending the message

[slate swan]

maybe because you have 2 message = ?

[formal basin]

Yes I deleted the bottom one

Is that what I put await channel.send(f”{message}”)

[blissful sparrow]

Anyone know why I keep getting this error even though ive only done the login output?
TypeError: Client.event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

import requests
import json

token = 'token'

@bot.event()
async def on_ready():
    print('The {0.user} bot has logged in!'.format(bot))



bot.run(token)

[boreal ravine]

don't call event

[boreal ravine]

don't use requests in an asynchronous context, use aiohttp instead.

[slate swan]

I wouldn't recommend using on_ready for that tbh

[paper sluice]

ive seen that template sooo many times, which yter recommends that

[blissful sparrow]

its in the docs

[slate swan]

I don't know

[blissful sparrow]

https://caught-lackin-in-8k-by-cyberghost.cf/LtoU65lY

[slate swan]

@blissful sparrow reasoning why I don't recommend it is because you can only have one on_message.

[slate swan]

is this all of the code.?

[blissful sparrow]

im yet to add more functions but im trying to get the bot up first

[slate swan]

your error is @bot.event(), in discord.py for events you don't need the (), so it would be @bot.event
@blissful sparrow

[paper sluice]

^^^

[blissful sparrow]

Wow extra parenthesis wasted me 20 mins lmfao

thanks

if you take another glance at the docs you can see that there are no parentheses either

sometimes you just gotta look it over again

[paper sluice]

this one has it cuz they are using discord.Client not commands.Bot

[slate swan]

this is false information actually

you dont "call" the events, they get triggered automatically

[paper sluice]

wait

i need glasses

[slate swan]

you don't need the () either way 🤣

[paper sluice]

i saw paren on on_ready and though it was the deco lmao

[slate swan]

just use listen

[slate swan]

it's not for me

[paper sluice]

subclass and enjoy

[slate swan]

nice

[formal basin]

Listen is better then on_message

[slate swan]

um?

is it now

listen/event is a decorator, while on_message is an event function

[formal basin]

Listen is the same thing tho

[slate swan]

no, its way different

yeah it is not the same thing

[formal basin]

And on_message stops your commands from working

[formal basin]

It’s not?

[slate swan]

only if you use it incorrectly

where do you use listen? xd
