[maiden fable]

U get ARM processors

[slate swan]

that's enough to run a full instance of VSCode on the server

[maiden fable]

Haha ofc

[slate swan]

that's gonna be useful

[sick birch]

Very

[maiden fable]

I used to use VSC on 4 GB RAM with Windows 10

[sick birch]

Do they provide other services though?

I might have to consider switching

[slate swan]

im using on 2gb ram :D now

[maiden fable]

https://www.oracle.com/in/cloud/free/

[sick birch]

Specifically domains, load balancers

[slate swan]

imagine vsc + discord

im on 16 on my main rig

[sick birch]

aha they do have a load balancer

[slate swan]

nvmd

why oracle giving these free services??

[lofty tinsel]

someone can help me?

[maiden fable]

They want to get yr cc info 👀

[slate swan]

oh no

scam 2022

[sick birch]

There's probably a bunch of fine-text things you might want to read

Before you get charged for something you didn't know

[maiden fable]

Well, two of my friends are using the same to host their bots

One of them has been using since a few months now and Raven using it since like 2 months or smth

[slate swan]

i mean oracle is pretty trusted, and the only other options i know of are AWS and linode, and they offer nowhere near the value of oracle

[maiden fable]

Yea haha

That is why I also tell about Oracle. It is trusted as much as AWS is

[brittle flume]

[maiden fable]

Weird

[brittle flume]

😕

[slate swan]

just don't use json🥺

[hushed galleon]

seems you're writing to it correctly, double check that you're looking at the right file

also message.author.reply() should be message.reply()

[spring flax]

!json

[unkempt canyon]

When using JSON, you might run into the following error:

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

This error could have appeared because you just created the JSON file and there is nothing in it at the moment.

Whilst having empty data is no problem, the file itself may never be completely empty.

You most likely wanted to structure your JSON as a dictionary. To do this, edit your empty JSON file so that it instead contains {}.

Different data types are also supported. If you wish to read more on these, please refer to this article.

[spring flax]

nevermind that, it seems a different error

[brittle flume]

.

[lofty tinsel]

why my cogs doesnt works?

[meager quartz]

I need help for urm... anti spam detection

[slate swan]

why are you even using json? use an actual database like sqlite or postgresql and just use there async bridges so it would be aiosqlite and asyncpg

[brittle flume]

Ik

[brittle flume]

It's just one small server

[slate swan]

well in the class you pass an instance of your bot objecr which then yoy make an instance variable so it would be self.bot.remove_command()

and just use the kwarg

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.help_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.help\_command

The help command implementation to use. This can be dynamically set at runtime. To remove the help command pass None. For more information on implementing a help command, see Help Commands.

[slate swan]

.

just set it to none

[slate swan]

still doesnt change the fact that json isnt a database.

[slate swan]

and i recommend you download pyright!

Fellow user

[carmine pasture]

anyone here can help me i got stuck making my bot

[slate swan]

its not in the class indent it

[brittle flume]

I could have rather used a txt file for such thing if it wasn't for the note

[slate swan]

Yes

Rly hes playing minecraft

[lofty tinsel]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class CogOwner(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
                self.bot.remove_command('help')

@commands.command()
async def help(self, ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title='**📂 | __Commands List__**\n\u2800', color=0x2F54C7)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

Bruh

[lofty tinsel]

under self.bot = bot ?

[slate swan]

Ye

[slate swan]

you do know that writing in any type of file doesnt mean its a database. a txt is for text not for storing data.

[slate swan]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[carmine pasture]

ok so i am making a discord bot with python and i am trying to get it to post a help page in embed but the code just wont work and its not showing any error. i can paste the code here

[slate swan]

show code

[brittle flume]

If I keep it in database folder it doesn't mean it is a database

[sick birch]

Are you subclassing HelpCommand?

[brittle flume]

Lol

[slate swan]

seeing your setting and selecting data? same purpose isnt it?

[lofty tinsel]

bro i dont understand where I must to put self.bot.remove_command('help')

[carmine pasture]

i called it command list not help so idk but its sorta like a help thing

[slate swan]

Every fellow help command creater be like.

[brittle flume]

I give up

[slate swan]

just add 4 spaces

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#help-commands refer to this for more info

[carmine pasture]

alr

[slate swan]

its quite easy to use a database you just install aiosqlite which is a library you can read there docs and down the sqlite browser which can make things much easier for you

[sick birch]

Use an ORM 🗿

[lofty tinsel]

like that?

[slate swan]

Nice

i mean yeah it can be their

I wonder how he write the help embed title

[lofty tinsel]

command does not work

[slate swan]

because it got removed bro

and download pyright

Lmao

[lofty tinsel]

what is pyright

[slate swan]

a type checker

Listen

In ur bot var

it screams errors at you

Put help_command=None

And remove this

[carmine pasture]

what if i dont want to make a help command just put an embed up that tells you all the commands u could use

cause my embed aint working

this is my code

async def Embed(message):
    if message.content.startswith('c.commandlist'):
      embedVar = discord.Embed(title='Help', description = 'commands', color=1)
      embedVar.add_field(name='c.intro', value='introduces you to the settler', inline=False)
      embedVar.add_field(name='c.start', value='Builds your first settlement', inline=False)
      embedVar.add_field(name='c.gather', value='gathers resources', inline=False)
      await message.channel.send(embed=embedVar)```

[slate swan]

just subclass the help command

[dull terrace]

hey guys so i have this issue on iphones

[slate swan]

?

[dull terrace]

when i replace the image file with a new one

itll make the image "shake"

[slate swan]

Its discord bots not i phone support

[dull terrace]

sparky you dork

i was gonna ask if anyone has run into the problem and if they found ways around it

i.e. moving the file to an embed box

[slate swan]

..

[dull terrace]

is very much a bot problem

[slate swan]

I cant understand

[dull terrace]

hold on ill edit the video so i can send it

[slate swan]

Ok.

[carmine pasture]

Can someone here please mabye type a functioning embed code that works and paste it here?

I need to see what i did wrong in mine

[slate swan]

Show ur code?

[carmine pasture]

i did

alr lemme paste it again

[slate swan]

Uh wair i get it

[carmine pasture]

async def Embed(message):
    if message.content.startswith('c.commandlist'):
      embedVar = discord.Embed(title='Help', description = 'commands', color=1)
      embedVar.add_field(name='c.intro', value='introduces you to the settler', inline=False)
      embedVar.add_field(name='c.start', value='Builds your first settlement', inline=False)
      embedVar.add_field(name='c.gather', value='gathers resources', inline=False)
      await message.channel.send(embed=embedVar) ```

[slate swan]

Ok so whats the error

[carmine pasture]

there is no error message

[slate swan]

Huh?

[carmine pasture]

just the bot doesnt respondt

[slate swan]

Does the event trigger

[carmine pasture]

well i type the message but no response

[slate swan]

Not sure what is that

[dull terrace]

massive screen shake only on iphone

[slate swan]

Cool game

[slate swan]

embed = discord.Embed(title="uwu", description="the most uwu embed in the world", colour=discord.Color.blue())
embed.set_thumbnail(url="SOME URL")
embed.set_image(url="SOME URL")
embed.set_footer(text="uwuest footer", icon_url="SOME URL HERE")
embed.set_author(name="uwu name", icon_url="SOME URL", url="SOME URL")
embed.add_field(name="uwu field name", value="uwu value", inline=False)
embed.insert_field_at(0, name="field at uwu name",  value="field at uwu value", inline=False)

[dull terrace]

thanks, has anyone ran into this though

[carmine pasture]

thank you so much

[dull terrace]

on every other device it just shows a loading symbol for a fraction of a second

on iphone it likes to shake the previous image in your face

[slate swan]

*remember that all those methods are optional

[fallow mauve]

hey so ive asked about this multiple times, how do i make a command where when used with a word or phrase after it it will add the word or phrase to a list in a json file

[slate swan]

Where do u guys get pfp from

[slate swan]

gib example

[carmine pasture]

ok

[dull terrace]

alright i better go to help channels

[slate swan]

I also need 1

[slate swan]

!ot

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channel: #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[slate swan]

#ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

[fallow mauve]

ok so if i said !list add [word or phrase] it would add the word or phrase to a list in a json file, and if i said !list remove [word or phrase] it would see if that word or phrase is in the list and remove it

[slate swan]

its your client

[slate swan]

I mean, why use json?

use a proper db

[fallow mauve]

idk is there a better way?

[dull terrace]

i know it's their client but how do i make it stop

[slate swan]

dm discord😳

[dull terrace]

it's beyond distracting

[slate swan]

yeah, use sqlite/postgreSQL

or mongoDB (json-like)

👋

[slate swan]

and use their async bridges!

[dull terrace]

i'm kinda shocked no one else has had the same issue here

[slate swan]

maybe discord hates you😔

[dull terrace]

i wonder if it happens on all iphones or specific models

[slate swan]

its probably just a bug in your specific client

it doesnt matter your phones model

[dull terrace]

this is a beta testers client

[slate swan]

welll thats why

beta clients have many bugs

[dull terrace]

no as in a beta tester for the game

they have a regular discord client as far as im aware

[slate swan]

oh i thought you ment beta clients

cuz discord lets you try their beta clients

[dull terrace]

has anyone else found this thing with iphones though

i can just ignore it if it's an edge case

[slate swan]

has it happen everytime?

[maiden fable]

What happened

[dull terrace]

yeah it happens whenever the image changes

[slate swan]

oof

[dull terrace]

#discord-bots message

[maiden fable]

What happens

The one second blackout?

[dull terrace]

it makes the image do that shaking thing

[slate swan]

the client has a stroke

[maiden fable]

O

[slate swan]

are you?

i got 6😅 💀

[dull terrace]

definitely 7 if you follow order of operations in python

[maiden fable]

It should be -1

[dull terrace]

multiplication first

[maiden fable]

BODMAS

[dull terrace]

wait

[maiden fable]

Yea

[dull terrace]

yeah -1 is the answer

[slate swan]

😔

[dull terrace]

!e print(2-2*3+3)

[unkempt canyon]

@dull terrace :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

-1

[slate swan]

Python doesnt lie!

no reason😳

[dull terrace]

the computer failed

can't do maffs

it's not a "jenious"

[maiden fable]

Can we take this to an ot channel now?

[slate swan]

hunter bad at math😔

[maiden fable]

Stop it

[slate swan]

No😡

[sick birch]

Let's keep it OT please

[frozen patio]

Hello! I have an error where I restart my bot I cannot pull the warnings from a user. Why is that?

[sick birch]

(I mean on-topic, not off-topic)

[sick birch]

Can we see where you're defining member_id?
Should look like this:

member_id = ...

[sick birch]

Ah that makes sense

Looks like lines is an empty list

[frozen patio]

How can I fix it?

Cause I have 3 lines in the warn file

[sick birch]

Where are you defining lines?

[sick birch]

Should look like

lines = ...

[frozen patio]

Right here

[sick birch]

Looks like the file might be empty

[frozen patio]

No???

[sick birch]

Hmm

Try printing lines to debug

[frozen patio]

The file has 3 lines it

[sick birch]

Also should probably be using a database for this

[frozen patio]

I do not think this will be used much so no need to set up a database

[sick birch]

Would still solve most issues relating to reading/writing

Sine doing that manually is always tricky

[frozen patio]

Could it be this that is causing it?

[sick birch]

Something's going while trying to readlines() and it's not giving an error to clue us into as what might be going wrong

I doubt it

[frozen patio]

I have a ticket file too

That is opening

When that opens

[sick birch]

Compare this code to that and see what's off

Given the ticketing system works

[frozen patio]

It does

100%

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    async with aiofiles.open("ticket_configs.txt", mode="a") as temp:
        pass

    async with aiofiles.open("ticket_configs.txt", mode="r") as file:
        lines = await file.readlines()
        for line in lines:
            data = line.split(" ")
            client.ticket_configs[int(data[0])] = [int(data[1]), int(data[2]), int(data[3])]

    print(f"{client.user} is online and ready!")
    await client.change_presence(activity=nextcord.Activity(type=nextcord.ActivityType.watching, name=f"for s!help"))
    client.uptime_start = time.time()

    client.reaction_roles = []

    for guild in client.guilds:
        client.warnings[guild.id] = {}
        
    async with aiofiles.open(f"{guild.id}.txt", mode="a") as temp:
        pass

    async with aiofiles.open(f"{guild.id}.txt", mode="r") as file:
        lines = await file.readlines()

        for line in lines:
            data = line.split(" ")
            member_id = int(data[0])
            admin_id = int(data[1])
            reason = " ".join(data[2:]).strip("\n")

        try:
            client.warnings[guild.id][member.id][1].append((admin_id, reason))
            client.warnings[guild.id][member.id][0] += 1

        except KeyError:
            client.warnings[guild.id][member.id] = [1, [(admin_id, reason)]] ```

@sick birch This is what is in my on_ready event

[maiden fable]

Bro

[frozen patio]

Yeah?

[maiden fable]

I, uhhh

[vocal snow]

text file...

[frozen patio]

Oh

Yeah ik

[maiden fable]

Not that, but yea that too

[frozen patio]

Did I forget to indent the open lines of the guild_id.txt files?

Must be

[maiden fable]

Too much code in on_ready

[sick birch]

There's so much that can go wrong there, oh my

[frozen patio]

Well the console says:

[slate swan]

this makes me wanna cry myself to sleep

😔

[frozen patio]

🤔

[slate swan]

the variable was referenced before it was assigned

[frozen patio]

How?

It was defined before I used it

[slate swan]

member_id is a variable that was assigned after that reference

[slate swan]

!e

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

a()

[frozen patio]

Yea

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 5, in <module>
003 |   File "<string>", line 2, in a
004 | UnboundLocalError: local variable 'a' referenced before assignment

[vocal snow]

if lines is empty the code in the for loop won't be executed

[frozen patio]

So that needs to go under the try lines 😐

[vocal snow]

and have you considered using a light database or even pickle

[sick birch]

It's going to be almost impossible to find the root cause of the issue with that much error-prone code

It could really be coming from anywhere

Or be coming from 20 levels deep

[frozen patio]

Yea I cannot seem to find it's cause Hmm

So could it be coming from my warn command?

client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def warnings(ctx, member: nextcord.Member=None):
    if ctx.author.id in blacklist: 
        bl = nextcord.Embed(title="You are blacklisted!", description="You have been blacklisted from Slytherin!", color=0xff0000)
        bl.set_footer(text=footer)
        bl.timestamp = datetime.now()
        await ctx.send(embed=bl)
    else:
        if member is None:
            return await ctx.send("The provided member could not be found or you forgot to provide one.")
    
        embed = nextcord.Embed(title=f"Displaying warnings for {member.name}", description="", colour=0x003fff)
        try:
            i = 1
            for admin_id, reason in client.warnings[ctx.guild.id][member.id][1]:
                admin = ctx.guild.get_member(admin_id)
                embed.description += f"**Warning {i}** given by: {admin.mention} for: *'{reason}'*.\n"
                i += 1

            await ctx.send(embed=embed)

        except KeyError: 
            await ctx.send("This user has no warnings.")

This is the command that will not let me pull their warnings.

[frozen patio]

I think I found the error

It has to be in this coming from this command

[slate swan]

so i want to make my bot status was watching then {amount of lines in a text file} any ideas how I would?

[sick birch]

Sure. At the start of your code, fetch all necessary data (in your case # lines of a text file), then pass that in to your bot's constructor

[frozen patio]

Maybe I forgot to open the files in the command Hmm

But if

[sick birch]

def get_lines():
  # return num of lines in a text file

bot = commands.Bot(activity=discord.Activity(...))

[frozen patio]

I opened them in the on_ready event

[sick birch]

You shouldn't be doing that in on_ready

[frozen patio]

Why would I need to open them again

[sick birch]

It can be the cause of all sorts of weird issues

[frozen patio]

Yea

I should move all of that to the warnings command shouldn't I?

[sick birch]

Probably

But honestly this is going to be pretty difficult to diagnose and fix

[slate swan]

ye

[slate swan]

so would have to do filefile = open('list.txt')
fnum_lines = sum(1 for line in filefile)
filefile.close()

or summit like dat

then for bot status

[sick birch]

Yeah that works. Since this is pre-bot-start it's fine to block

[slate swan]

{fnum_lines}

[sick birch]

You don't want to do that after your bot starts, however

[sick birch]

or just len(lines)

[slate swan]

ye

ok ye works

ty

[sick birch]

Anytime

[paper sluice]

ctx.author.activities

is empty :/

its an empty tuple like ()

[maiden fable]

@slate swan what r yr intents

[paper sluice]

^^

[maiden fable]

So?

And in yr code?

intents=discord.Intents.all() in yr bot constructor

[frozen patio]

I fixed it 🥲

[maiden fable]

No

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=discord.Intents.all())

[frozen patio]

Wait no I did not

I got this error :/

[slate swan]

^ @frozen patio

[paper sluice]

@bot.command()
async def status(ctx, user: discord.Member):
  await ctx.send(user.activities[0].name)```

[frozen patio]

Yeah

But where

And How do I fix this

[midnight crane]

whats the best db for python bots?

[slate swan]

their really isnt a best db. Postgresql is for a server database and Sqlite is used for saving the data in a file, but if you want a non sql db just use mongodb

[midnight crane]

i want to do like small games

somthing simple bc i yet to learn how to use db

[slate swan]

well i would use sql. as theirs many databases based on the language sql like sqlite for maybe learning and saving data on a file and if your bot gets bigger you could use a database on a server like Postgresql which also is based on sql.

[midnight crane]

ok then ill try using sqlite, do you have any recommendations for learning on how to use it, like website or a video?

[slate swan]

To learn sql use: https://sqlbolt.com
Then just use the aiosqlite module: https://aiosqlite.omnilib.dev/en/latest/

and to see data in a ui just use the sqlite browser

[midnight crane]

ok tysm

[slate swan]

[dull terrace]

annoying bug i can't work out

[slate swan]

have you tried other clients?

[dull terrace]

@client.event
async def on_button_click(interaction):
    data = await interaction_common(interaction)
    if not data:
        return```
so a cooldown is in `interaction_common` if it triggers then the function returns `False` which stops `on_button_click` proceeding
but it seems to retry it when the cooldown is over?
`disnake.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before`
It seems to not fail to interact when i hit a button while on cooldown, but it doesn't proceed and do anything

it should be giving the little error this interaction failed or whatever

it seems to be literally saving every button push while on cooldown and retrying as soon as the cooldown is over and gives me the same error for each one

[midnight crane]

❤️

[dull terrace]

i guess i could do a check at the start of every single interaction to see if it has already responded but that seems wasteful

[velvet haven]

my commands are not working idk why

i'm using discord.py

[frozen patio]

Why does it do this

Every time I restart the bot

[proud rain]

    color=self.log_channel.guild.get_member(after.id).colour,
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'colour'

I keep getting this error

Code:

    
@Cog.listener()
    async def on_user_update(self, before, after):
        if before.name != after.name:
            embed = Embed(title="Navne Skifte",
                          colour=after.colour,
                          timestamp=datetime.utcnow())

            fields = [("Før:", before.name, False),
                      ("Efter:", after.name, False)]

            for name, value, inline in fields:
                embed.add_field(name=name, value=value, inline=inline)

            await self.log_channel.send(embed=embed)

        if before.discriminator != after.discriminator:
            embed = Embed(title="Discriminator Skifte",
                          colour=after.colour,
                          timestamp=datetime.utcnow())

            fields = [("Før:", before.discriminator, False),
                      ("Efter:", after.discriminator, False)]

            for name, value, inline in fields:
                embed.add_field(name=name, value=value, inline=inline)


            await self.log_channel.send(embed=embed)```

[worldly solstice]

I heard that if i ask async questions in here i will get roasted, is that true? 👀

[dull terrace]

this is driving me crazy

it's literally resending the button info up to 30 seconds later after a cooldown disnake.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

it definitely hasn't responded already

and it shouldn't be doing anything after being returned

[slate swan]

no you wont. if its not fitting to discord bots go to #async-and-concurrency

[frozen patio]

Why is my bot doing this after I restart it?

[slate swan]

where are you saving the warnings?

[frozen patio]

in a .txt file

[slate swan]

well thats the reason

[frozen patio]

It should open on_ready

I have it set up like that 😐

[slate swan]

you dont use a .txt file as a database

[worldly solstice]

It is actually!

project = "ExoWorlds"

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)

    async def on_message(self, message):

    soup = await BeautifulSoup(r.html.html, "html5lib")
    c = await soup.find('div',attrs={'class':'marketplaceStats__item'})
    print(c.text)
    exo_floor = c.text
    return exo_floor


async def background_task():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    while not client.is_closed():

        await asyncio.sleep(5)

        exo_floor = await get_exo_floor()
        now = datetime.now()
        current_time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")

        #change name of discord channel
        voice_channel_2 = client.get_channel(964211130627162192)
        await voice_channel_2.edit(name="Exo MP Floor: " + str(exo_floor))
        print(current_time + str(" Exo Floor updated to ") + str(exo_floor))



client = MyClient()
client.loop.create_task(background_task())
client.run(token)

When i run this i always get

Task exception was never retrieved

and i have no idea how to fix that. I tried to import nest_asyncio and apply it but this would just never return anything at all

[slate swan]

as the file extension shows its for text and not saving data

[frozen patio]

It is only storing 4-5 warns

[slate swan]

why are you subclassing client and the errors says it

[worldly solstice]

Thats just a tiny snippet out of over 1k lines of code

but the only thing thats relevant right now for this issue

[slate swan]

Well the error quite says it.

[frozen patio]

Yeah

[worldly solstice]

Maybe i´m just an idiot then, still stuck

[frozen patio]

There has to be a way

[slate swan]

use a db i.e sqlite

[frozen patio]

I could use sqlite3

Maybe if I open the file in the warning command :0

[sick birch]

aiosqlite, yes

It’s also much less error prone and easier to troubleshoot

[slate swan]

cause they actually handle errors😳

[frozen patio]

Yes

But there has to way to pull a .txt file

to get the data after you restart the bot

[sick birch]

Probably in setup hook

[slate swan]

@sick birch btw any new news on the new thread for the channel?

[slate swan]

or just create a task with the AbstractEventLoop

[sick birch]

Not yet. Give us a bit

[slate swan]

alright 💜

[stuck oyster]

disnake.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction```

what does this mean

[pliant gulch]

Your responding to an expired interaction

[stuck oyster]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  client.add_view(MyView2())
  client.add_view(MyView1())
  client.add_view(MyView())```
Won't this stop it?

[pliant gulch]

I don't see how this would be causing the issue

Just make sure if you are gonna be defering and sending followup messages, that you send it within 15 minutes

After 15 the interaction token will expire and invalidate

[stuck oyster]

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

[pliant gulch]

Why are you defering then right after sending a message?

Couldn't you just respond already without the followup

[stuck oyster]

well when I do that, there are some times they will ask me to defer it

[pliant gulch]

What?

[stuck oyster]

I interacted with the button and the error told me to defer it so thats what I did

[pliant gulch]

That;s odd, never expirenced that before

[hushed galleon]

i assume its this message you're referring to: https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/disnake/errors.py#L304-L312
interesting that disnake does that

[unkempt canyon]

disnake/errors.py lines 304 to 312

msg = (
    "Interaction took more than 3 seconds to be responded to. "
    'Please defer it using "interaction.response.defer" on the start of your command. '
    "Later you may send a response by editing the deferred message "
    'using "interaction.edit_original_message"'
    "\n"
    "Note: This might also be caused by a misconfiguration in the components "
    "make sure you do not respond twice in case this is a component."
)```

[stuck oyster]

yes

[hushed galleon]

does your unknown interaction error come up often? if its only occasional then its likely caused by internet latency

[stuck oyster]

comes up often

[hushed galleon]

you're creating the ticket channel before the defer right? maybe thats the bottleneck

[stuck oyster]

oh

[hushed galleon]

you can time it to make sure - personally i got 0.9s of delay when executing create_text_channel - and if its the issue, you should place the defer at the start, do whatever you need in between, and send your followup at the end

i think your indentation is a bit messed up

the else clause along with the line under it is underindented, while the two lines after that are overindented

btw collections.Counter would be a good tool for this

!d collections.Counter

[unkempt canyon]

collections.Counter

class collections.Counter([iterable-or-mapping])```
A [`Counter`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#collections.Counter "collections.Counter") is a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "dict") subclass for counting hashable objects. It is a collection where elements are stored as dictionary keys and their counts are stored as dictionary values. Counts are allowed to be any integer value including zero or negative counts. The [`Counter`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#collections.Counter "collections.Counter") class is similar to bags or multisets in other languages.

Elements are counted from an *iterable* or initialized from another *mapping* (or counter):

```py
>>> c = Counter()                           # a new, empty counter
>>> c = Counter('gallahad')                 # a new counter from an iterable
>>> c = Counter({'red': 4, 'blue': 2})      # a new counter from a mapping
>>> c = Counter(cats=4, dogs=8)             # a new counter from keyword args

[hushed galleon]

also you dont need to fetch every user, the Member object itself can be used as the dict key

you also have the members intent enabled, right oops you dont need it here

[slow estuary]

when I run my code I get this error, and I have no idea how to fix it

hikari.errors.UnauthorizedError: Unauthorized 401: '401: Unauthorized' for https://discord.com/api/v8/gateway/bot

It was working a while ago, but I needed to update my client secret so I think that is causing the problem, but I have no idea how to fix it

[hushed galleon]

you need to regenerate your token and copy it from the application page

[slow estuary]

I have multiple times

maybe it is a problem with docker?

[hushed galleon]

maybe, if your config somehow didnt get updated to include the new token

[slow estuary]

do you want me to send the full error message?

wait i think i know why

nevermind

I have no idea

[hushed galleon]

try printing your token when you pass it into the bot to make sure its the correct one you're expecting

[slow estuary]

the error is coming from bot. run

which does reffer to the defined token

bot = lightbulb.BotApp( token='', default_enabled_guilds=(), prefix ="$", intents=hikari.Intents.ALL )

is there still a way to print it even if it is deffined in the variable?

[hushed galleon]

oh if you hardcoded the token then nevermind printing it

what you wrote there is a long string of random letters/numbers right

[slow estuary]

yeah

It was working fine before I changed it

[hushed galleon]

then maybe your script didnt update with the new token when you tried running it?

[slow estuary]

it isint a docker problem because it still breaks outside of docker

[hushed galleon]

oh ok

[slow estuary]

yeah thats what im thinking

[slate swan]

[slow estuary]

still doesn't work

[nova stag]

so i am trying to make it so that if a message is sent by a certain person it replies with something but i am getting this error

[hushed galleon]

@bot.event should be written without the parentheses, and also bot.send_message() is extremely outdated; text channels have a send() method so you would be writing await message.channel.send(...) there

[nova stag]

ok thanks

[hushed galleon]

oh and the IDs are represented as integers instead of strings

[nova stag]

thanks let me do that real quick

[hushed galleon]

see here for up-to-date documentation: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html
examples on the discord.py repository: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/v1.7.3/examples
^ both of these are for version 1.7.3

[nova stag]

i have been reading the old ones all this time

[junior verge]

Just use ctx.send

[hushed galleon]

oh lol, the same site still hosts the legacy documentation

[velvet tinsel]

how would I get the ID of a recently created channel? I have the snippet of code await guild.create_text_channel("hello world"), but I would like to get the ID of it. How would I do that

[hushed galleon]

create_text_channel returns a TextChannel object, so you can access the .created_at property right afterwards

[velvet tinsel]

k thx

[hushed galleon]

oh wait, i dont know why i said .created_at

[nova stag]

hmmmmmm

[velvet tinsel]

yeah

i was confused lmao

I was looking at the docs and I was thinking this cant be right

[hushed galleon]

yea i just thought of it cause the created at time happens to be derived from the .id of the channel

[velvet tinsel]

yeah I saw the docs on it thanks btw

[hushed galleon]

the on_message event only takes a Message object, so you should keep it as on_message(message)
(when you see ctx, its a conventional name used with message commands in discord.ext.commands)

you can do the same thing with the reply() method that the Message object has

[nova stag]

ok let me try

[brave forge]

please tell me how in discord.py do events and commands ?

that is, so that one in the file reads the other. Because event and commands don't work in the same file

@nova stag Can I help you ?

[nova stag]

yes pls

[sand dew]

i am planning on making discord bots, should i use discord.py or hikari?

[brave forge]

@nova stag do you want to write to a certain participant in private messages ?

[nova stag]

from what i have heard hikari is more stable but i am using discord.py

[supple thorn]

Make the ping into a string and check it with the message content

[nova stag]

no like in server when it see a certain person has messaged reply in the server with something

[supple thorn]

Yes

[brave forge]

!d help

[unkempt canyon]

help

help([object])```
Invoke the built-in help system. (This function is intended for interactive use.) If no argument is given, the interactive help system starts on the interpreter console. If the argument is a string, then the string is looked up as the name of a module, function, class, method, keyword, or documentation topic, and a help page is printed on the console. If the argument is any other kind of object, a help page on the object is generated.

Note that if a slash(/) appears in the parameter list of a function when invoking [`help()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#help "help"), it means that the parameters prior to the slash are positional-only. For more info, see [the FAQ entry on positional-only parameters](https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#faq-positional-only-arguments).

This function is added to the built-in namespace by the [`site`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/site.html#module-site "site: Module responsible for site-specific configuration.") module.

Similar names: django.help, pdbcommand.help

[supple thorn]

@nova stag what are you trying to do and what’s the error

[nova stag]

if a certain person sends a message in the chat the bot replies with something to that person in that chat

[nova stag]

the error

[supple thorn]

There’s no author

It’s only message

!d discord.Message.mentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.mentions

A list of Member that were mentioned. If the message is in a private message then the list will be of User instead. For messages that are not of type MessageType.default, this array can be used to aid in system messages. For more information, see system_content.

Warning

The order of the mentions list is not in any particular order so you should not rely on it. This is a Discord limitation, not one with the library.

[nova stag]

can u explain i am new to this stuff so i dont have any idea

[supple thorn]

Check if client.user is in message.mentions

[supple thorn]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

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

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

Warning

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

[supple thorn]

As you can see

[nova stag]

ohhhhh

[supple thorn]

It only takes 1 positional argument which is message

[nova stag]

ok i get it now

[nova stag]

well i understand that it doesnt take that argument

so what am i suppose to do now?

[supple thorn]

Use message

Remove author since it doesn’t take that

[winged bone]

I think you should write if message.content == ping instead because if message == ping will compare the message object with a string which will always be False

because message will be a discord.Message object

@nova stag

[nova stag]

ok so i have achivied what i wanted by doing this

thanks for yall help

[stone beacon]

Noice

[final iron]

Why are you naming your id variable ping

[nova stag]

thats something i came up with at that time

no particular reason

[slate swan]

you don't have to always specify things to variables unless you're going to be changing them or using them more than once

you could also do if message.author.id == ..:

[regal flame]

is there an event similar to on_ready that sends a message when the bot is stopped

[boreal ravine]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_disconnect you could use this

[regal flame]

it didn't work when I tried it

I stopped the bot and received no message

[surreal ruin]

Anyone?

[bitter perch]

@regal flame you should subclass and override close

[regal flame]

what does that mean?

[bitter perch]

class MyClient(discord.Client):
  async def close(self):
    # call super().close and do your logic

[regal flame]

Do I just type "super().close"?

[nova stag]

i was doing that before but was getting errors so yeh did this and it worked

[slate swan]

what was the error?

[cyan hare]

help me pls

[nova stag]

on_messege missiing 1 positional argument "message"

[nova stag]

u are suppose to import commands

[cyan hare]

import commands

[nova stag]

yeh

[cyan hare]

so

what do i wrtie

[nova stag]

frou have already imported commands tho

what are u trying to import

[cyan hare]

commands

import discord, random, aiohttp, asyncio
from discord import Webhook, AsyncWebhookAdapter
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import commands
from colorama import Fore as C
from colorama import Style as S

[nova stag]

u have done that already in 3rd line

[cyan hare]

then delete the 4 the line

[short harbor]

need help

[cyan hare]

or keep it

[nova stag]

from colorama import Fore, Style

[nova stag]

delete

[cyan hare]

ok

it still an error

[short harbor]

how can i delet a messege sended with the bot ?

[frozen patio]

Mine does that too

[slate swan]

you can use the delete_after kwarg in the send method

[frozen patio]

I have to make new repl when I code with friends

[nova stag]

never seen that before idk sorry cant help

[frozen patio]

The API times out on repl

[slate swan]

you got ratelimited from the discord api

[nova stag]

ahh ok

[frozen patio]

It doesn’t do that in my host or VS Code 😐

[nova stag]

same using VS never got that error

[frozen patio]

Yeah

Repl just trash

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[nova stag]

btw

u shouldnt send your bot token like that in chat

i would suggest u to regenerate it

[frozen patio]

It’s not even the token

[nova stag]

someone can use it to take over ur bot

[frozen patio]

All tokens have an O at the beginning

[nova stag]

ooo didnt know that

[frozen patio]

All my bots begin with O

And that’s like 20

[nova stag]

then what is that and why is his variable named token

[frozen patio]

So yea they all start with O

[nova stag]

same but yeh i didnt knew thats always the case

[frozen patio]

Good question 😂

[frozen patio]

And how do you import discord in the from discord.ext.commands line

It’s already imported

[nova stag]

i was thinking that when i saw it well i guess he is super new

[frozen patio]

Yeah

[regal flame]

for the event on_message how do I get the channel that the message is sent in?

[raw gate]

on_message(ctx):
channel = ctx.channel

Or

channel: discord.TextChannel

[slate swan]

thats a gift from replit for using their service :)

[frozen patio]

Ikr

Yo thanks for using repl take our API timeout 😄

[torn sail]

On mesage takes message not ctx

[slate swan]

ctx.channel is correct here

[lapis meadow]

Is it possible to have a bot send a picture. When the picture is sent it will have around 5 reactions added by the bot. I want it to be where the user can click 2 reactions and the combination will send a gif. Is this possible and if anyone knows how please help

[frozen patio]

Hmm

[slate swan]

well, you can name te argument anything

[raw gate]

Oops forgot, my brain is dead atm i got no sleep

[frozen patio]

I do not think a bot can add 5 reactions.

[lapis meadow]

Its definitely possible lol

[raw gate]

It is

[lapis meadow]

My bot does it but I’m lost along the lines of when the user reacts to two of the reactions and It sends a gif

[frozen patio]

5 separate emojis?

[torn sail]

Yes

[raw gate]

Yeah

[frozen patio]

Ohhhh I thought he meant 5 to 1 emoji 😅

[lapis meadow]

I’m assuming if I get the first down it’ll be a whole bunch of elif statements

[raw gate]

Ah

[lapis meadow]

I have this right now:

    channel  = client.get_channel("CHANNEL_ID")
    if message.content.lower().startswith('experiment'): 
        moji = await message.channel.send("https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/955441795209236530/962094246314254437/unknown.png?width=480&height=612")
        emoji = ["\N{Large Yellow Circle}", "\N{Large Green Circle}", "\N{Large Blue Square}", "\N{Large Red Circle}", "\N{Large Blue Circle}"]
        for experiment in emoji:
            await moji.add_reaction(experiment)```

[slate swan]

uhhhh, thats gonna be a lot if work

# first you gotta send the file with
msg = await send(file=discord.File("filename.png")
#add reactions
for reaction in ("reaction1", "reaction2", ...):
      await msg.add_reaction("reaction")
#check for reactions
def check(message):
      ...
ev = await Bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check=check)
#PROCESS FURTHER

[lapis meadow]

Well it'll send a link but the link will be a gif lol

Thanks a lot!!!

[slate swan]

that totally is up to you

[raw gate]

Where are the examples to discord.ui.modals

[slate swan]

in the gist that danny released regarding continuation of dpy

idh the link at hand rn

[raw gate]

Okay ty

I think i have it

The link was in the discord py server as well i believe

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Modal

[raw gate]

Oh ty

[slate swan]

here's an example - https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/modal.py

[raw gate]

Tyty this helps sm

[slate swan]

its alright lol

[raw gate]

I got buttons down i just needed some help with modals and textinputs

[lapis meadow]

I'm getting an error: "user" isn't defined. Does anyone know if I'm on any right track with making the bot send a gif if 2 reactions are clicked?

[raw gate]

Try user: discord.Member

or user = ctx.author

[lapis meadow]

Ahhh thx

lemme test hehehe

[raw gate]

I'm bad at helping lol I'm on my phone

And at work

[lapis meadow]

This is now the error:

line 57, in on_message
if discord.Member.reaction.emoji == "\N{Large Yellow Circle}" and "\N{Large Green Circle}":
AttributeError: type object 'Member' has no attribute 'reaction'

[slate swan]

use a wait_for

[lapis meadow]

Where do I put that? ;-;

[raw gate]

Oh yeahhh

[lapis meadow]

k might've got it

[slate swan]

smth lile this

async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$thumb'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Send me that 👍 reaction, mate')

        def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'

        try:
            reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await channel.send('👎')
        else:
            await channel.send('👍') 

[lapis meadow]

ohhhh okay

So if I want to add two reactions I just put 'This' and 'That'

[slate swan]

....?

tbh i'll just get sleep, i havent slept for 3 days straight

[lapis meadow]

So like they need to react to two reactions in order for the bot to send the message

[slate swan]

yeah, will need 2 wait_for

[lapis meadow]

Oh jeez! Yeah that's the better option haha! Thanks lol and have a good sleep

[lapis meadow]

Oh okay!

[slate swan]

I apologize for leaving while helping

[lapis meadow]

Nahhh you good hahah

[regal flame]

what can I do to make it so any message that is sent through DMs to my discord bot is sent to me through DMs

[full lily]

you should be able to receive dms through the on_message event

should be able to check if it's a dm with if message.guild is None

[lapis meadow]

Hey people! I'm having an issue with my bot. I want the bot to send an image with reactions. When the user clicks 2 of the reactions the bot will send a gif. I have 5 reactions total so there are a lot of combinations. The issue I have now is that the bot is able to send the image with the reactions but when I click the two reactions nothing happens... Here is my code if anything can help ❤️

async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.lower().startswith('thumb'):
        channel = message.channel
        moji = await message.channel.send("https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/955441795209236530/962094246314254437/unknown.png?width=480&height=612")
        emoji = ["\N{Large Yellow Circle}", "\N{Large Green Circle}", "\N{Large Blue Square}", "\N{Large Red Circle}", "\N{Large Blue Circle}"]
        for experiment in emoji:
            await moji.add_reaction(experiment)

        def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '\N{Large Yellow Circle}' and '\N{Large Green Circle}'

        try:
            reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:

[median kindle]

Has anyone every had a issues where a discord bot changed your loggers os time?

(it is a very strange issue I am dealing with now)

[nova stag]

so if i use the on_message thingy
all other commands stop working why is that?

[vagrant brook]

Uhm you need bot.process_commands

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands

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

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") if so.

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

!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.

[unique yew]

I am creating a python script

[slate swan]

the API doesn't allow bots to do that, that's for a normal user side.

[unique yew]

Okay

[slate swan]

even if you're doing it for a bot, that won't work
if you're doing that for a user, that's against ToS since automatic a user account in any way is not a good idea

[frozen patio]

VS Code and my host does not do that LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

[slate swan]

Actually, it depends more on your network system than your IDE, replit uses shared Ips so one of the user on that IP will let others get ratelimited too

[frozen patio]

Sadly

Just use VS code

[pliant gulch]

However, if you go through the Oauth2 framework, you can get an access token for a scope guilds.join, that will allow bot to make the correspondng user join a guild

That is a valid option, albiet it isn't easy to setup

[slate swan]

oh i see,
But still not with an invite right?

[pliant gulch]

Yep, still not with an invite

You have to make a request via PUT /guilds/guild_id/members/user_id

[slate swan]

So thats how this thing works 🤔

[pliant gulch]

Yikes, quite the invasive bot

[hollow badger]

Trying to work around a captcha is not appropriate for this server. The captcha exists to prevent automation, and we won't help with that.

bro this isnt working what is wrong with it

[slate swan]

do you have the members intent enabled?

[granite parcel]

yes

[slate swan]

mind showing your intents?

[granite parcel]

i show 1min

[slate swan]

sure

[slate swan]

oh i found the problem,
you are defining member as the author of the command and using member variable to iterate through the guild members, change one of their names, and discord.utils accepts an iterable as its first argument so you need to have the guild roles to iterate, and the id should be an integer

Why ppl use a var to define ctx.author :/

[native wedge]

member is already a thing, it just confuse

[slate swan]

Ye

@slate swan Can you not delete your messages?

[slate swan]

uh Sure.

[slate swan]

Intents*

[sick birch]

utils.get takes an iterable as its first argument, not a string

[slate swan]

On ur code ig

[buoyant zodiac]

how do i get the white box?

[slate swan]

@granite parcel

[sick birch]

And unlike discord.js, IDs in python are integers, not strings

[sick birch]

<t:1649991837:F> like this?

yes

<t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP:FORMAT_CODE>

e.g <t:1649991837:F> => <t:1649991837:F>

?

[granite parcel]

this is working but can i make it universal like if author use this cmd anywhere where the bot is it gives the reply

[supple thorn]

Wdym universal?

It is already universal

[granite parcel]

i mean if anyone use the command in any server

[supple thorn]

It does do that?

[granite parcel]

no

it replies where the role exists

[supple thorn]

Don't you have to go through every guild the bot is in

And check if the role exists and in the author's roles

And if the author is in the same guild

[slate swan]

every server cannot have the same role unless the bot creates one

so its pretty much useless to do it

Hi ded chat

[neon oyster]

How do i get my slash commands to work in one guild not global
discord.py 2.0

@ me plz

[maiden fable]

u can use a check

!custom-check

[unkempt canyon]

Custom Command Checks in discord.py

Often you may find the need to use checks that don't exist by default in discord.py. Fortunately, discord.py provides discord.ext.commands.check which allows you to create you own checks like this:

from discord.ext.commands import check, Context

def in_any_channel(*channels):
  async def predicate(ctx: Context):
    return ctx.channel.id in channels
  return check(predicate)

This check is to check whether the invoked command is in a given set of channels. The inner function, named predicate here, is used to perform the actual check on the command, and check logic should go in this function. It must be an async function, and always provides a single commands.Context argument which you can use to create check logic. This check function should return a boolean value indicating whether the check passed (return True) or failed (return False).

The check can now be used like any other commands check as a decorator of a command, such as this:

@bot.command(name="ping")
@in_any_channel(728343273562701984)
async def ping(ctx: Context):
  ...

This would lock the ping command to only be used in the channel 728343273562701984. If this check function fails it will raise a CheckFailure exception, which can be handled in your error handler.

[spring flax]

can you make a custom on_message event where it only looks at message in one channel

[maiden fable]

Yea

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
    if msg.channel.id == ...:
        bot.dispatch("my_custom_on_message_which_listens_to_messages_only_in_one_channel", msg)
    await bot.process_commands(msg)

[spring flax]

is there a way to nnot check channel id in the event itself?

[maiden fable]

Wym

[spring flax]

what's dispatch?

[maiden fable]

Internals

[spring flax]

so should i be using that?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[spring flax]

i mean like a function maybe and the event triggers the function

[maiden fable]

Uh

[spring flax]

uh as in that was a dumb question or not sure?

[maiden fable]

Not sure

in discord.py lib how do i enable a slash command from a cog

[mortal dove]

How do I tell discord that I have seen the interaction? When someone presses a button, the command does all it needs to do, but still says that the interaction failed because I never responded to that interaction.

[slate swan]

which lib you're using?

[mortal dove]

discord.py

[slate swan]

🤔 may i have a look at the code?

[mortal dove]

    @discord.ui.button(
        label = "L",
        style = discord.ButtonStyle.green,
        row = 0
    )
    async def leftTrigger(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        pyautogui.keyDown("A")
        await asyncio.sleep(0.2)
        pyautogui.keyUp("A")
        embed = fmte(
            ctx=self.ctx,
            t="Playing: Pokemon: Fire Red",
            d="For: {} minutes".format((time.time() - self.ctx.start_time) / 60)
        )
        pyautogui.screenshot().save("pyauto_resources/game_image.jpg")
        file = discord.File("pyauto_resources/game_image.jpg", filename = "Game_Image.jpg")
        await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed,attachments=[file,],view=VBA_View(self.ctx,self.bot))
``` Each message has 9 buttons. When a button is pressed, the message changes to new game frame and new time log.

Nothing is said to the user

[slate swan]

btw btw.. that failed thing.. because u never responded is like.. idk if this is the case.. but like.. there is timeout thing in buttons ok.. so if it gets timeout then interactions don't work

[mortal dove]

yeah I want to tell discord to not expect anything

and that the interaction is complete

[slate swan]

hmm

then ig u can do something likeee...

[mortal dove]

btw I know that I can use self.ctx.defer(), but that just keeps the interaction going forever, which isn't what I want

[slate swan]

then..on timeout, u can edit the embed, by sending the 'view' again

it'll be a new interaction.. but for the user it'll be just like an edit message..

[mortal dove]

I could, but I just think it's much more clean to edit. If I find no other solution, then sure I'll do that.

[slate swan]

.. for user it'll be just like an edit mesage...

welll.. tias :'/

there's a chance that your while loop is freezing the entire thing?
you might want to also check if any of the properties you're getting are making extra requests

Hello is anyone available to offer any advice? I've got a loop, which works perfectly but only the first I run the code.
When the loop comes back round it doesn't seem to do as it should which is retrieve the data from the SQL DB

Can anyone shed any light to what im doing wrong?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/butaritawo

I've posted the actual loop itself and also the first function. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could it be because im using aysnc tasks

[bleak karma]

is there a way to make a command set an embed colour? (i already made the db)

like

!embed set color ffffff

im using

emb = discord.Embed()
emb.description="<< **This is how the color looks like**"
emb.colour = "0x" + value
await ctx.send(embed=emb)

but it gives an error:

Ignoring exception in command e_embed edit:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Am facing a strange issue I have a bot which has some NSFW commands on a particular server it is serving those commands in SFW channel while on every other it aint

[placid skiff]

nsfw commands are allowed only in NSFW channels

[placid skiff]

the error is speaking

[bleak karma]

no i mean is it possible

oh its not

[placid skiff]

it is of course

but not like you did

[bleak karma]

oh, how though/

[placid skiff]

read the error

[supple thorn]

Blvck not having it today

[placid skiff]

so...? it is not hard to guess it is literally written

[bleak karma]

you know not all ppl have ur level of intelligence

im still learning

[placid skiff]

bruh it's not like intelligence or something is basic python, basic like the lowest level possible

[bleak karma]

i mean i understand the error

[placid skiff]

TypeError: Expected discord.Colour, int, or Embed.Empty but received str instead.

Embed.colour takes as type Union[discord.Colour, int, Embed.Empty]
You are assign it to a string

if your use discord.Colour, you can set an RGB value

!d discord.Colour

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour

class discord.Colour(value)```
Represents a Discord role colour. This class is similar to a (red, green, blue) [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)").

There is an alias for this called Color...

[placid skiff]

Embed.colour = discord.Colour(255,255,255) for example shall return white

[bleak karma]

oh makes sense now

Hi there, just looking for tips, I am currently moving from json to sqlite3, and after adding a connect and a cursor in my on_ready I realized that if I put a value guild_id and then my other values it will just put everything on the same row. Would there be a way to create some kind of bag inside my table for a specific guild?

[placid skiff]

for every guild insert a new row

[lofty pecan]

yeah but that would mean every thing will just be in the same main table isn't that bothering ?

(I haven't done SQL in 3 years so it's hard)

[slate swan]

create a new table for every guild 🤷‍♂️

[lofty pecan]

yeah I thought about that as well

I was just wondering if there was a way to centralize everything in the same main file and then make subtable inside

[slate swan]

no-

i was just suggesting

[lofty pecan]

because I am using the connect command in the on_ready in my events cog, so I don't see a way to get the guild_id other than adding a ctx argument inside which seems weird for that function

[slate swan]

but new a table for every server

srsly?

thats like such a bad use of memory

[placid skiff]

lol bro i stopped writing after reading that

[lofty pecan]

Yeah I wouldn't try using sqlite if I had to do that

[slate swan]

okay okay, i’m sorry if my suggestion isn’t as good as yours

[slate swan]

no comments from my side

[lofty pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/bayleef-sad-pokemon-teary-eyed-gif-9830748

[slate swan]

I never said that but 😭 why a new table for every server

[placid skiff]

Bro database are used to store dataset which refers to the same object (alias a same set of data)
there is absolutely no sense to create different table for every guild

[lofty pecan]

So if I put everything inthe same file and then just do a FROM main SELECT guild_id it should work just fine ?

[placid skiff]

plus it will be a really mess

[slate swan]

ok

[lofty pecan]

so well

[lofty pecan]

this should work ?

[maiden fable]

Just use MongoDB 👀

[slate swan]

yeah it'll select the guild's id

[lofty pecan]

oki

[placid skiff]

Make the id the primary key of your guild table

easy as that

[lofty pecan]

ho god not that

I have fragment of memories about that

[slate swan]

......?

I mean, every normal individual does that

[placid skiff]

lol

[lofty pecan]

I haven't done sql in 3 years I don't remember most of it

[maiden fable]

I never understood how to set primary and foreign keys 🥲

[lofty pecan]

🥺

[slate swan]

👋

[maiden fable]

U can also look at deta.sh DB btw

[lofty pecan]

o_O

[slate swan]

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tablename(

guild_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,

)

its easy as that tbh

[lofty pecan]

-_-
