[slate swan]

ah you passed a command object

wym

[sweet pilot]

isn't this easier? authorized = [guild for guild in guilds if guild.permissions.manage_server]

[slate swan]

token is literal to a command object and not a string

[sick birch]

Oh well I was using React for the front end

So Python wouldn’t really work

[slate swan]

so str(token) should work?

[sweet pilot]

but yd u said u use tabnine?

[sick birch]

Actually next, but close enough

[sweet pilot]

gotchcha

[slate swan]

not really as making the command object a string returns its name i think i havent checked the dunder

[sweet pilot]

i do react too so i might able to understand the code

[sick birch]

And it’s not worth increasing bundle size by adding discord.js

[slate swan]

tabnine has an extension for vsc too

[sick birch]

I have some un pushed commits on my computer with the new code on it

[sweet pilot]

yeah. if u use intellisense u can't use tabnine ryt?

[lofty pecan]

Hi there, I made a command to be able to vote for a character every 24h using commands.Cooldown but if the name input isn't correct it sends an error message to the user. Now, the issue is that if you don't put a correct name you're still on cooldown for 24h, how can I fix it so you don't have to wait for that long ?

[slate swan]

tabnine is used for intellisense. Period.

Hi

[sweet pilot]

no prob just drop the code on dm when u r free

[slate swan]

👋

[slate swan]

the cooldown gets invoked when the context of the command is invoked no matter the result so i doubt you can

Pfp change again

[lofty pecan]

then how can I declare the command cooldown inside the command in a if statement ?

[slate swan]

How to get on_ready how long it took to start up?

[sweet pilot]

by intellisense i meant the completion provided by vscode python extention made by microsoft

[slate swan]

nah, you can use

[slate swan]

you cant really its a deco that gets called when the callable gets called

[slate swan]

declare a datetime.datetime.now() when the bot initialised
And subtraction it from another datetime.datetime.now() from it inside on_ready

And then how do I get the time it took to startup

[sweet pilot]

I have used kite and that one. python extention had it better

[slate swan]

Difference between them is the time difference....

[sweet pilot]

and never thought kite was batter than tabnine cz kite's older

[slate swan]

why would you even record the time your bot takes for it to populate its cache?

[lofty pecan]

Then is there a way to not use a decorator and instead have an internal cooldown in the command ?

[slate swan]

It would still need a cache/database

[slate swan]

maybe editing internals and checking what the callable returns

!custom-cooldown maybe utilise this

[unkempt canyon]

Cooldowns in discord.py

Cooldowns can be used in discord.py to rate-limit. In this example, we're using it in an on_message.

from discord.ext import commands

message_cooldown = commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1.0, 60.0, commands.BucketType.user)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    bucket = message_cooldown.get_bucket(message)
    retry_after = bucket.update_rate_limit()
    if retry_after:
        await message.channel.send(f"Slow down! Try again in {retry_after} seconds.")
    else:
        await message.channel.send("Not ratelimited!")

from_cooldown takes the amount of update_rate_limit()s needed to trigger the cooldown, the time in which the cooldown is triggered, and a BucketType.

[slate swan]

You can have your own cooldown bucket

how have i never seen this before lmfao

[olive osprey]

You can just declare a variable with the current datetime at the start:

import datetime
StartTime = datetime.datetime.utcnow()

and then just declare another variable inside your command:

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  x = StartTime - datetime.datetime.utcnow()
  await ctx.reply(x)

[lofty pecan]

I need a moment to understand how that works

async def vote(self, ctx, *name):
        """ Vote system for your favourite OCs"""
        id = ctx.guild.id
        name = " ".join(name)
        cursor = self.db.cursor()
        cursor.execute('SELECT DISTINCT oc_name FROM main WHERE guild_id = ?', (id,))
        result = cursor.fetchall()
        if name in result[0]:
            cursor.close()
            cursor = self.db.cursor()
            cursor.execute('UPDATE main SET oc_rank = oc_rank + 1 WHERE guild_id = ? AND oc_name = ?',(id,name))
            self.db.commit()
            cursor.close()
            await ctx.send('Thank you for your vote!')
        else:
            await ctx.send('Invalid name')
``` that's my code for the moment

[slate swan]

Oh

Oka thank

[lofty pecan]

So I could make message_cooldown_vote = commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1.0, 86400, commands.BucketType.user)

then bucket = message_cooldown_vote.get_bucket(message) retry_after = bucket.update_rate_limit()

(inside my command)

[lofty pecan]

and put the retry_after in my if name in result

[frozen patio]

Hmm

[lofty pecan]

right...?

[slate swan]

Yo I m having some trouble sending an image in an embed. I am using igur. I can send one image but the second i change the URL to the image I want it doesn't send. could the image be too big for the embed and it can not minimize it?

[kindred epoch]

Yikes

[lofty pecan]

it works now lol

[slate swan]

could you show the code and how you're changing it?

[slate swan]

cursor.fetchall() works?

[slate swan]

Turns out it was the size of the image, thank you though!

[lofty pecan]

yes it does

and that wasn't the problem

[slate swan]

oh well, the better

[slate swan]

i just asked

never wanted to give extra over-smartness

[lofty pecan]

And I just told you that wasn't the issue but it felt like you thought it was a problem

[slate swan]

I just asked it for my information, seems like im too drunk since im asking stuff i already know about lmao

[lofty pecan]

lmao

How can I change the time to minutes, hours and days

[slate swan]

!pip time-str

[unkempt canyon]

time-str v0.1.0.post2

A package to convert user input into datetime.timedelta objects

[slate swan]

Use this mb

[sullen pewter]

Ok

[last moss]

proxy_url and url?

whats the difference

[slate swan]

um, inappropriate channel

[last moss]

its litteratlly discord.py

[fallow mauve]

so i got ratelimited(using replit) and then used kill 1 in the shell and it still says im rate limited

[slate swan]

oh well, but still "that" question wasnt related to dpy

[slate swan]

the proxy url is the cached version of the url

[last moss]

don't use repl.it

[slate swan]

kill 1 again, welp

[fallow mauve]

ok

[slate swan]

lmao

[last moss]

what does cached version mean lol

[slate swan]

the url has been cached?

what do you expect the cached version

[last moss]

Don't exactly know what cached means ill be honest

dk why you would assume I would?

[slate swan]

the cached is for storing data so it can be easily accessed without doing i.e api calls

[last moss]

ok thanks

[slate swan]

Temporary memory

[last moss]

thats not what okimii said

[slate swan]

nvm then

[last moss]

I mean Ik what cache is in a cpu

[slate swan]

in some cases it can be temporary but it depends.

[last moss]

but i don't think thats the same

[slate swan]

sure? because thats not what a cache is anyways

[slate swan]

in this case bots use ram

[maiden fable]

It's just the information u store in RAM

It's stored in RAM cz the read write speeds of a RAM is more than that of a SSD or HDD

[slate swan]

remember ram stands for random accessible memory

[slate swan]

access*

same thing

no

[last moss]

it actually is

its just shortened

[slate swan]

still used in different contexts

[last moss]

in this case you can say accessible

[maiden fable]

This debate can be taken to an ot channel too

[slate swan]

hunter is the smartest among us all :)

i came here for the first time of the day to come to this

🗿

lmao, idk why i'm even talking about that

[slate swan]

i think you ment knowledgable

[maiden fable]

Wrong. Day started at 12 and u were here in the night too

[slate swan]

totally not ot, we can talk about Hunter's greatness everywhere?

!ot anyways

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

[slate swan]

Yes pls!

i would love to

[slate swan]

no😳

and i said the day not night

so you're wrong.

[hollow plover]

discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before how can i fix this and make it a continupus game?

[slate swan]

you can either add a followup or edit the original message

[hollow plover]

oh

alr lemme try that

[sick birch]

1 is the root process, I don't think that should change your IP

Depending on replit's architecture

[slate swan]

it does change the ip

[hollow plover]

no but i did use edit_mesage?

[sick birch]

Probably because it runs on docker or some other container

Killing root would probably kill the container and give you a new one

But new container could be in the same cluster as old one, same IP

[hollow plover]

?

[slate swan]

replit runs on docker.....?

[sick birch]

Probably do

Since you can just spin one up and shut it down after a user's done

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

thought so

[maiden fable]

Please add the Python formatting

[brave forge]

why does the bot not give an answer when pressing the button ???!

[brave forge]

what ?

[maiden fable]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[silent ridge]

Hey guys, I made a discord bot, but when I wait around 5 minutes and I train again to click on the verify button it says this

but the bot is still online

[brave forge]

@maiden fable так ?

[maiden fable]

@bot.command()
async def text(ctx):
    await ctx.send(
        embed = discord.Embed(title= 'Команды сервера', colour=0xF1C40F),
        components = [
            Button(style = ButtonStyle.green, label= 'Like'),
            Button(style = ButtonStyle.red, label= 'Dislike')
        ]
    )
    response = await bot.wait_for('button_click')
    if response.channel == ctx.channel:
        if response.component.label == 'Like':
            await response.respond(context= "Молодец")
        if response.component.label == 'Dislike':
            await response.respond(context= "Дебил")

[frozen patio]

There is a default time for buttons

[silent ridge]

What do you mean with that?

[frozen patio]

Like there is a 1-3 minute time then they do not work anymore

[silent ridge]

yes

[brave forge]

Only for some reason, when the button is pressed, the bot does not give an answer

[silent ridge]

how can I solve that?

[frozen patio]

Hmm

[hardy yoke]

yeah buttons timeout after awhile, need to make a persistent button like so https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[silent ridge]

thanks!

[brave forge]

@maiden fable and why was this format needed ??

[maiden fable]

@brave forge what is the issue

[brave forge]

@maiden fable
Only for some reason, when the button is pressed, the bot does not give an answer

[maiden fable]

Can u print response.component.label?

[slate swan]

wait_for for a button click.

[maiden fable]

Huh?

I mean, it isn't my code

[brave forge]

gives nothing away

[maiden fable]

That is the issue

can u print response.component?

Why do u have a print?

[brave forge]

you asked me to withdraw it yourself

[maiden fable]

Wym

[brave forge]

@maiden fable I must say right away I am not an Amerekan and I don't know English well so I don't understand your abbreviations

[maiden fable]

Ah, wym means What you mean

[slate swan]

If anyone that knows or can shed input I'd appreciate it. Basically trying to get my command to work if member has assigned role or administrator permissions. I can only find documentation on, .has_any_role my commands currently work with , @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True) but I'd like to add in, @commands.has_any_role("SupportUS", "SupportCAD") as well as any user with admin permissions, or will I just have to use any role & put admin role in there?

[brave forge]

@maiden fable
I did it on video and the dude on the vidos everything works, I wrote nothing works

[maiden fable]

@bot.command()
async def text(ctx):
    await ctx.send(
        embed = discord.Embed(title= 'Команды сервера', colour=0xF1C40F),
        components = [
            Button(style = ButtonStyle.green, label= 'Like'),
            Button(style = ButtonStyle.red, label= 'Dislike')
        ]
    )
    response = await bot.wait_for('button_click')
    if response.channel == ctx.channel:
        print(response.component)
        if response.component.label == 'Like':
            await response.respond(context= "Молодец")
            print(response.component)
        if response.component.label == 'Dislike':
            await response.respond(context= "Дебил")
            print(response.component)

Change your code to this

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")...

[maiden fable]

@sick birch do u mind helping @brave forge with his issue?

[sick birch]

Yeah i was about to play a game but sure i'll do it after

what's the issue?

[brave forge]

@maiden fable when the button is pressed, an error appears in the "Interaction Error" discord

[maiden fable]

^^^

[sick birch]

And code?

[maiden fable]

^^^

[sick birch]

I see

I don't remember button_click being a native discord.py event - are you using like discord_components or something?

[maiden fable]

He is using a 3rd party lib since components kwarg

[slate swan]

how do you do this on discord.py

[brave forge]

@sick birch yes, that's right, I do it using discord_components

[sick birch]

The documentation is pretty bad. Check out this example I made: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/modal.py

Please let me know if that helps you, it would mean a lot to me ❤️

[sick birch]

Ah, not much experience with discord_components. Not sure if I can help. Plus discord_components is frankly outdated, it's better to use the built-in buttons most of the forks have

[brave forge]

I just don't know what else can be used to make the bot use the buttons

[sick birch]

discord.py can be used

So can forks like disnake

[brave forge]

and I did that code on video and that dude has everything working. I have noticed more than once that there is garbage in Python that commands and event cannot work properly and do not create unnecessary problems. They are constantly spoiling something in discord bots and Telegram bots

[slate swan]

But how can it work with specific Role & then users with admin perms as well for that one command, instead of one or the other. Can it check first & if no roles specified returned then it checks for admin permissions

[brave forge]

@sick birch can you give me some advice ? is it better to do event and command in the same file or separate them ?? Using Cogs

[sick birch]

Ah, you're following a youtube tutorial

Those are really bad and tell you to use code that doesn't work most of the time, and use bad design choices like using discord_components

[sick birch]

Oh you want to use multiple roles?

Nvm, misread

[brave forge]

for what ?

[sick birch]

You want admin perms AND some role?

[sick birch]

For using buttons?

Are you watching a youtube tutorial for that?

@slate swan you can stack has_permission and has_role

[brave forge]

yes

[sick birch]

@commands.has_role(...)
@commands.has_permission(...)
async def my_command(...):
  ...

[slate swan]

I tried that, but once I add in administrator for permission, and the role specified doesn't have admin permissions it comes back

[sick birch]

That explains it. I suggest you don't follow them since they're pretty terrible

[sick birch]

I see 🤔

[slate swan]

Let me try something else, one second

[sick birch]

In that case, you could add a check inside the command, like so:

@bot.command()
async def my_command(...):
  if not user_has_admin: return
  if not user_has_role: return

just psuedocode of course

[brave forge]

and then how to find out what how ?

[slate swan]

Ok, that would probably work a lot better. Yeah I just tried restructuring it & it still came back, let me test out the above

[sick birch]

What do you mean?

[brave forge]

well, where can I study discord.py

[sick birch]

The documentation and examples

[empty quest]

is a VPS a good idea for hosting a discord bot?

[frozen patio]

Nextcord is best

[sick birch]

Of course

[frozen patio]

I host like 20 bots on one and ye they fast

[hollow crag]

Dpy is better :)

[empty quest]

which website do you recommend for a VPS?

[frozen patio]

Mmmmm no

[sick birch]

Personally I use AWS

I also have a dashboard so i get a domain from R53

[frozen patio]

Nice

Robin got a hella nice setup

[sick birch]

Yup

Also use S3 :D

[slate swan]

you cannot determine the best fork since all of them derive from discord.py and have their own cons

and then, personal opinions

[frozen patio]

How :OOO

[worthy mantle]

when you type / into the message bar, discord shows all the commands from each discord bot.
how would I make it so my bot's commands also show up?

[boreal ravine]

it's slash commands, and you have to sync them to make them appear

not normal commands

[worthy mantle]

ik

[worthy mantle]

my question is how?

[sick birch]

How what?

[boreal ravine]

What library are you using

[worthy mantle]

discord.py

[sick birch]

await tree.sync() in on_ready()

[unkempt canyon]

Not gonna happen.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[boreal ravine]

ok

[frozen patio]

You have to load them into the server

[boreal ravine]

no

[frozen patio]

Mmmmm

Yea

[boreal ravine]

no

don't do it in on_ready

[sick birch]

Usually, yes, but in this case there's nothing wrong

[cold sonnet]

sounds weird to me

it syncs many times

[sick birch]

nothing wrong with keeping it up to date

[worthy mantle]

what tree?

discord.tree?
client.tree?

[cold sonnet]

yeah but like you sync and it still will be up-to-date an hour later

[cold sonnet]

bot.tree

[worthy mantle]

hmmm

i was using client

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.tree

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.tree

property tree```
The command tree responsible for handling the application commands in this bot.

New in version 2.0.

[cold sonnet]

does exist

[worthy mantle]

should i not use client = discord.Client()

[cold sonnet]

there's always many ways to do something in programming

[torn sail]

you could do tree = app_commands.CommandTree(client) if using client

[cold sonnet]

you can even make a tree instance and assign it to client

[cold sonnet]

[slate swan]

How can i create
Iwelcome message to send
Invite Tracker
like {member} joined invited by {user} {numInvites}

[worthy mantle]

app_commands?

[torn sail]

from discord import app_commands

[worthy mantle]

ohk

[slate swan]

?

[boreal ravine]

discord.app_commands

[magic stump]

How can i add url

to fileds?

[worthy mantle]

yikes 'discord' has no attribute 'app_commands'

[paper sluice]

i think you need discord.py 2.0 for that

[boreal ravine]

install d.py 2.0

[exotic maple]

I've changed to slash commands recently but im having a issue with the author function...

Error:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'author'

[boreal ravine]

[boreal ravine]

hm idk

[torn sail]

Try ctx.author

Not ctx.message.author

Slash commands aren’t invoked from messages

[oblique adder]

what are persistent_modals ? how is it different from normal modals ?

[slate swan]

!d disnake.ext.commands.Greedy

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Greedy

class disnake.ext.commands.Greedy```
A special converter that greedily consumes arguments until it can’t. As a consequence of this behaviour, most input errors are silently discarded, since it is used as an indicator of when to stop parsing.

When a parser error is met the greedy converter stops converting, undoes the internal string parsing routine, and continues parsing regularly.

For example, in the following code:

```py
@commands.command()
async def test(ctx, numbers: Greedy[int], reason: str):
    await ctx.send("numbers: {}, reason: {}".format(numbers, reason))
```  An invocation of `[p]test 1 2 3 4 5 6 hello` would pass `numbers` with `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]` and `reason` with `hello`...

[slate swan]

it returns a list right?

[oblique adder]

please ping

[maiden fable]

Persistent modals work even when the bot restarts

[boreal ravine]

theres no such thing as persistent modsls

[oblique adder]

but bot cant send modal at that time ?

[oblique adder]

there is

[boreal ravine]

those are called persistent views

[maiden fable]

But what if it had already sent one before?

[slate swan]

[oblique adder]

ohhh so that is why it is needed

[exotic maple]

Ok

Looks like it worked, thanks @torn sail

is this correct

[silver wolf]

Yeah it looks fine. But I would use embed.timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow() instead

[slate swan]

nope, probaby an error with embed.timestamp

you should import datetime from datetime and then use utcnow

!e py import datetime print(datetime.datetime.now())

how to make a server link in embed. That is, on whatever server the command is written, the name of the server is written there. I heard that you need to write like this '{message.guild.name }' but it doesn't work

whats the code to process commands

[exotic maple]

if ctx.author == member?

Yep it worked, thanks

[torn sail]

Ur passing in a list. You could use fetchone instead of fetchall

Also you should use this instead of the standard library sqlite3

!pypi aiosqlite

aiosqlite v0.17.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[torn sail]

Also fetch_channel takes an int not str

it's not mini-modding

plus, code on a pastebin looks better

[grave summit]

hi guys i got my bot running finally with basic await ctx.send commands

but now i want to change it so that what ever comes after my command prefix is pasted into the url

so i got !ebay working but, i want it to work with !ebay television, so what would i write in order to get "television" stored into a variable

so i can format the ctx.send string

[wicked atlas]

With commands, you can add arguments to the function in order to get arguments from the command

@bot.command()
async def ebay(ctx, search): # <-- Example argument "search"
    ...

[grave summit]

ah ok sweet, thank you

how would i go about storing "search" so that i can format it into the url my bot sends out

[wicked atlas]

If you enter !ebay television for example, the command is run, and the string "television" is passed in, and stored in search

[grave summit]

i might be making no sense as im v new

ahhh

so on await ctx.send i could do a formatted string to include {search}

[wicked atlas]

yep

[grave summit]

thank you so much

[cloud dawn]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

[mental tangle]

Hello - essentially I am trying to code a bot that sends a message when it detects a new game has been installed.
I have everything done, except for the sending a message part

For whatever reason when I do:
bot.run(token)

The script completely stops responding and does nothing,.

The script stops responding

[wicked atlas]

bot.run isn't something that just runs and continues. It holds up the program in order to run the bot's event loop, and keep the program from exiting to allow it to keep running.

I would suggest trying to find a way to merge your code in a way the bot can run it, and now trying to have your code run the bot

[grave summit]

await ctx.send(str.replace(' ', '+'(f"https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw={search}&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1")))

would this work?

acc idk why i didnt just test it

[wicked atlas]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[grave summit]

await ctx.send(str.replace(' ', '+'(f"https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=%7Bsearch%7D&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1%22)))

i got syntax error anyway so it deffo not working

[wicked atlas]

Why do you have str.replace?

[grave summit]

i need to swap out spaces with + signs

so if they do !ebay playstation 5, when it is formatted its playstation+5

otherwise url wont work

[wicked atlas]

First thing, is that for multi-word arguments, you need to add a * argument

@bot.command()
async def ebay(ctx, *, search):
    ...

Second, you need to replace the character in the string in search, so you would call replace on that

try doing that on it's own before trying to mix it all together

[grave summit]

oh yh thank you for that but im still getting the spaces in the url that is sent to server

[wicked atlas]

What code do you have?

[grave summit]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

@bot.command(name="ebay")
async def ebay(ctx, *, search):
    await ctx.send(f"https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw={search}&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1")```

really appreciate this help

thank you

[wicked atlas]

alright, now you just need to replace the spaces in search with +

You can do that right in those {} even

[grave summit]

oh really

how would i go about doing that

[wicked atlas]

Well, do you know how to use replace?

[cloud dawn]

!d str.replace

[unkempt canyon]

str.replace

str.replace(old, new[, count])```
Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old* replaced by *new*. If the optional argument *count* is given, only the first *count* occurrences are replaced.

[frozen patio]

Hmm

[grave summit]

yes but not sure how to put it inside the url

[wicked atlas]

you just put it in the {}

[grave summit]

ah

[frozen patio]

You are doing the ebay thing no?

[grave summit]

jo jon, yeah i am

[frozen patio]

Mmmmm

Can I see your code?

[grave summit]

from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

@bot.command(name="ebay")
async def ebay(ctx, *, search):
await ctx.send(f"https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw={search}&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1")

how tf i do upticks on mac

i been copy and pastin

[frozen patio]

I see an error or 2

[grave summit]

oh really ok could you point the out?

if you have time

[frozen patio]

You forgot an "

I have like 5 hours xD

[grave summit]

oh yeah i think that was just copy and pasting error, i got it in pycharm

[slate swan]

how to create the threads? like message.author.create_theads im lost tbh cuz idk how to create the thread for a specific message

[grave summit]

ebay command is working an everythin i just need to get + instead of space

[wicked atlas]

message objects themselves have a create_thread method

[frozen patio]

I think it will do it itself I think

It does for my google search command

[grave summit]

nah i get spaces in my url still with the code above

{str.replace(' ', '+')search}

have i done that in the wrong place

that is in the middle of my url

[slate swan]

but it doesnt work, i tried message.create_thead but

[frozen patio]

thread*

[slate swan]

my bad

[wicked atlas]

yeah, actually, looks like you can use spaces @grave summit

[torn sail]

you need to put a space in that ''

[grave summit]

oh yeah i have

[frozen patio]

Yea

[slate swan]

nvm i think it should be message.channel.create_thread

[grave summit]

i can use spaces in there but in the url it has + sign

[wicked atlas]

check the url in that image

[frozen patio]

Well if you can use spaces why change it

[grave summit]

its not clickable in discord

[slate swan]

anyidea doe

[grave summit]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=dunk low panda&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

[wicked atlas]

Ah yeah, good point

[grave summit]

i get that

[frozen patio]

I use a button

They can

[grave summit]

would that be through an embed with a button in it

[frozen patio]

Just do an f string @slate swan

[frozen patio]

No I do not use an embed attached to it

[wicked atlas]

Have you tried mentioning a user in an embed field? I remember that fields don't support all of the formatting that other things l;ike the description do

[frozen patio]

(f"Test test {author.mention}.")

[slate swan]

it works the same doe

[wicked atlas]

Yeah, embed field values aren't able to be formatted like other things on an embed, they only contain plain text

[slate swan]

with/without embed

[slate swan]

wym

[frozen patio]

Yea, it is cool actually.

[slate swan]

[wicked atlas]

or is that the footer?

it's one of the two 💀

[grave summit]

await ctx.send(f"https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw={search}&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1")

so where could i put str.replace in that

[wicked atlas]

where search is

[slate swan]

im lost lmao idk what u r talking abt

[grave summit]

i tried that and i get an error

[wicked atlas]

I'm talking about Fiji's question

[wicked atlas]

well what did you try, and what error?

[frozen patio]

How I made mine 😃

[slate swan]

whats their question haha

[wicked atlas]

about mentioning peope in embed fields, and how it was just showing plain text

[grave summit]

{str.replace(' ', '+')search}

[dull terrace]

is there a way to see if someone has clicked a link type button?

[wicked atlas]

replace is a method of a string object, which should be search

search.replace(...)

[slate swan]

i see

anyways

[grave summit]

omg im stupid af

[frozen patio]

And it put the + for me

[grave summit]

thank you, i thought the command was str.replace, but it meant the str which i want to replace haha

[dull terrace]

[frozen patio]

The small stuff really pisses me off

[wicked atlas]

I don't think it sends an interaction or anything, it's just a link, so no

[grave summit]

its working, thank you @frozen patio @wicked atlas wish i could thank you

actually so happy with that, im falling in love with coding icl

[frozen patio]

Welcome 😄

[frozen patio]

Yea it is very nice

I did

But there is no send_json in my code 💀

[pliant gulch]

send_json is called internally from your IPC library

Yeah, so do I need to make a json file

[pliant gulch]

IPC works by opening up a websocket connection and sending information through there, that's how they achieve inter process communication

Are you using a nextcord extension? Since the ipc is a discord.py lib.

No, the problem is somehow somewhere, your websocket is a NoneType

Which I'm assuming is just the sentinel value here or something?

Make sure you read whatever documentation you followed properly, and make you open a connection

[frozen patio]

I used nextcord-ext-ipc

[cloud dawn]

The main IPC lib also stopped as year ago.

[frozen patio]

Mmmmm

[cloud dawn]

Do you got git? Since most people just CTRL+SHIFT+H the entire old project.

[frozen patio]

Well I cannot find the error in my code 👀

[frozen patio]

No 👀

[cloud dawn]

!pypi nextcord-ext-ipc

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord-ext-ipc v2.2.1

A Nextcord extension for inter-process communication.

[frozen patio]

Yes

It is this error that is 👀

I have no idea to fix that error

[cloud dawn]

Did it ever work?

[frozen patio]

No

[cloud dawn]

Could you show how you connect?

[frozen patio]

Yeah, the dashboard file?

[cloud dawn]

Have you tried running the examples if it even still works?

[frozen patio]

I have these

[cloud dawn]

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord-ext-ipc/tree/master/examples/basic-ipc

[chilly knot]

why is "embeded_response.image.width" returning "Empty"?
the image is showing normal if i send the embed
embeded_response.set_image(url = em_image_url[1])
embeded_image_resolution = f'{embeded_response.image.width}x{embeded_response.image.height}'

[frozen patio]

I never started my IPC server 😐

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Attachment.width

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment.width

The attachment’s width, in pixels. Only applicable to images and videos.

[cloud dawn]

Type: Optional[int]

[frozen patio]

I think I know the error

Wait no

[chilly knot]

"Possible attributes you can access are:" from doks

does it mean i can change the pixels?

[cloud dawn]

I mean you can change the number but that wouldn't change the image.

[chilly knot]

but its a return value how can i change it?

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Embed

it works if i try to return the url of the image, width and heigth doesnt

[cloud dawn]

You can't set the height or width of an image.

You would need to change the image.

[chilly knot]

dont you think it means that you would get the width and heigth of the image?

because i dont input anything, i get a value returned

the url for example

Is there a way to check if a use (that use a command) has a role using the ID of this role?

Like I have the ID of the role stored in a variable and I want it to check if this user has this role

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_any_role

A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has **any** of the roles specified. This means that if they have one out of the three roles specified, then this check will return True.

Similar to [`has_role()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role "discord.ext.commands.has_role"), the names or IDs passed in must be exact.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") if the user is missing all roles, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message.

check these

[green schooner]

Thank you ❤️

[slate swan]

btw is there a way to get the the author who sent the message that has the thread? like the channel.owner_id returns the user who creates the thread but i want the one that sent the msg

idk how to explain

[boreal ravine]

message.author.id

[slate swan]

uhm im using buttons py @disnake.ui.button(label = "Offline", custom_id = "offline", style = disnake.ButtonStyle.grey) async def offline(self, button: disnake.ui.button, inter: disnake.MessageInteraction):

[boreal ravine]

then use a wait_for

[pliant gulch]

!d disnake.MessageInteraction.message

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.MessageInteraction.message

The message that sent this interaction.

[pliant gulch]

Actually, not sure if that would work

[slate swan]

alr

[slate swan]

inter.message.author returns the bot

[pliant gulch]

Yea, I was thinking about that

[grave summit]

does anyone know where i can find good instructions for a twitter bot, i want a bot for channel that posts those messages to twitter

nothing against TOS

just posts the image and text from a message through a tweet

[sick birch]

That’s not within the scope of this channel unfortunately

[grave summit]

ok no problem , thank you anyway

[grave summit]

even if its a discord bot that does it?

[boreal ravine]

aren't twitter bots against tos?

[grave summit]

i couldnt find anything but if im wrong thats fine ill just stop

[boreal ravine]

also, wdym by instructions

[grave summit]

just like a guide for it, im not sure what packages may need to be installed

i dont think there is any TOS against twitter bots unless its for smth called "mail bombing" and other bad stuff like viruses

[pliant gulch]

Twitter allows bots, but they have a few guidelines

[final iron]

If you want to make a twitter bot you can use akeno as a wrapper

@slate swan

🗿

[green schooner]

is there a way to do it using something similar to that?

if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator:

[grave summit]

i just want success posts to be shared on twitter when posted in success channels on discord so from what i have read thats fine with TOS but not sure what package is used and cant seem to find one

[slate swan]

ye

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_guild\_permissions

Similar to [`has_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions "discord.ext.commands.has_permissions"), but operates on guild wide permissions instead of the current channel permissions.

If this check is called in a DM context, it will raise an exception, [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage").

New in version 1.3.

[boreal ravine]

what is a "success post"?

[green schooner]

Yeah I know about that, I'm trying to have it so it is:

if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator or #user has a role (using ID):

The ID is stored in a variable

[boreal ravine]

just make a POST request to https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets with the required headers to post a tweet

[slate swan]

role = ctx.guild.get_role(id)
if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator or role in ctx.author.roles:
``` idk tbh

[grave summit]

basically when me or my friends get a pair of shoes from drops etc we post success posts in a success channel

[green schooner]

I seeee

well I will try thx a lot

[slate swan]

anytime

[boreal ravine]

O

[dull terrace]

quick question to save me 5 mins testing this, can you @ someone in a modal

[frozen patio]

Wdym model?

[slate swan]

i think he's talking abt discord.ui.Modal?

[frozen patio]

Ah

I do not know what that is 😅

[slate swan]

me neither

they added so many features

[frozen patio]

Ikr

[green schooner]

Trying to find a way to check if role is a @role ping, and get the ID of it

👀

[supple thorn]

Then you can just get role.id

[green schooner]

I see

thx

[frozen patio]

I saw that

You still need help or no?

With an event

an on_raw_reaction_add event

I cannot spoonfeed you

Mine is very complicated, but it is for a ticket system

But you could do this, ig

You need to make where the user clicks on the reaction, it will send a DM

[slate swan]

i wouldnt

[final iron]

Nah bro wdym

Akeno is the best twitter api wrapper

It totally works

[slate swan]

yeah it does

twitter api is garbo!

[frozen patio]

Why?

[slate swan]

the documentation is horrible

[frozen patio]

Show me

Get off replit

It's also where you will be ratelimited

Did you pass in message?

[sick birch]

It's not

[vagrant brook]

Payload doesnt have message

[frozen patio]

repl trash 🤣

[sick birch]

agreed

[frozen patio]

VS Code is surpreme

[vagrant brook]

!d discord.RawReactionActionEvent.message_id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.RawReactionActionEvent.message\_id

The message ID that got or lost a reaction.

[frozen patio]

for a code editor at least

[vagrant brook]

Those two arent really related but ok

Since hes actually using it for hosting

[frozen patio]

Mk

[vagrant brook]

.

Well you have to work on it yourself, try printing out the variables

[supple thorn]

What did you print?

[slate swan]

bruh

discord.Message.id you didn't specify it

look, i used to code in dpy and probably don't know much now but i guess it should be payload.message.id

try it

[final iron]

discord.Message.id

That's not how you do it

[slate swan]

.

[supple thorn]

Where and who

[final iron]

You need an instance of the discord.Message class

[supple thorn]

He also defended replit

[slate swan]

lmao

try

payload.message.id

[supple thorn]

Capitalization matters

No you did Message

We can see in the error you did Message

Isn't it message_id

[slate swan]

oo

[supple thorn]

I don't work alot with events

[slate swan]

yeah it's message_id prolly

[supple thorn]

But i'm checking the docs

[slate swan]

same

[supple thorn]

Coolio

You should check the docs more

[slate swan]

docs are pretty easy to use and their helpful!

[sick birch]

"helpful" is debatable

[slate swan]

doubt

[pliant gulch]

Documentation is only helpful when the person who wrote them isn't incompetent

[slate swan]

i think you ment read them?

[pliant gulch]

No, sometimes people just write horrible documentation

For an example, when I have to write documentation I just want them done as quickly as possible cause I'm lazy

[slate swan]

in this case its not really bad written. it would be helpful if you actually had the skill to even use the library and read its own documentation

[meager quartz]

ban comand for discord.pyt

pls

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.ban

await ban(*, delete_message_days=1, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Bans this member. Equivalent to [`Guild.ban()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.ban "discord.Guild.ban").

[slate swan]

someone explain to me why it doesnt work now? I did nothing on the code i just restarted my bot. It worked before!

[sick birch]

hm

perhaps

[slate swan]

I found out how to fix it but its because of a on_message event, any ideas why?

[pliant gulch]

With how commands work, they rely on the default behaviour of on_message, which calls Bot.process_commands(message), so to fix this issue; you'd change @bot.event to @bot.listen() or manually add await Bot.proces_commands(message) to your on_message

!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.

[tough cedar]

if i run pip install -e path/to/package to install a local package, and change something in the code, when would the change take effect when that package is used in my bot's code? do i have to restart the bot for it to reflect the changes in that local package?

[slate swan]

yes, ofcourse

you need to rerun the bot

[tough cedar]

I see i see, thanks!

[tough cedar]

Also i answered this question in the discord.py server so take a look there

[slate swan]

or reloading the cogs if you use them would work too

[tough cedar]

Oh awesome, that's much more convenient

[slate swan]

given that the libraries should be imported in that cog itself

[tough cedar]

Gotcha

[tough cedar]

Hey did you mean that the import statement needs to be in the cog class or the cog file? Because having it in the cog file (at the top) doesn't work with reloading the cog

[slate swan]

it should work if its at the top of the file

does it raise any error?

[tough cedar]

It doesn't, but it doesn't reflect any changes by just reloading (bot.reload_extension) the cog

Oops meant to reply to the 2nd message

[slate swan]

oh understandable

what library is it?

[tough cedar]

discord.py

2.0

[slate swan]

and the other one?

[tough cedar]

Ohh the local one? it's a package I'm developing called gists.py

[slate swan]

oh makes sense

well then maybe it needs the bot to restart

[tough cedar]

Alright that's still pretty neat so I'm not complaining. I've been having to pip install --upgrade ./gists.py every time before i learned about pip install -e ./gists.py so this is a huge step-up

Thanks!

Hey! I am using a function called CheckManagerPerm() in a cog in this way:

 def CheckManagerPerm(ctx):
        manager_role = ctx.guild.get_role(int(managerID))
        if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator or manager_role in ctx.author.roles:
            return True
        else:
            return False

 #checkperm
    @commands.command(help="Check if you have the permission to use the bot.")
    @commands.guild_only()
    async def checkperm(self, ctx):
        if CheckManagerPerm(ctx) == True:
          #more stuff

for some reason its sating that:
Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'CheckManagerPerm' is not defined

Is there a specific way to def functions in a cog?

[visual island]

To get an attribute in a class use self.<attribute>, so in your case to call the function, do self.CheckManagerPerm(...).

[tall dust]

welcome back

[green schooner]

Oh I see

let me try !

[green schooner]

It seems to run, but now its raising another error when I just run .checkperm

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: CheckManagerPerm() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[visual island]

Oh, to define a function within a class should have self as its first parameter (only if it's an instance method): def CheckManagerPerm(self, ctx):.

[green schooner]

I see

and do I have to have it as if CheckManagerPerm(self, ctx) == True: in the command?

[visual island]

No, you don't need to pass the self argument manually, it is passed automatically by default.

[green schooner]

I see

Thank you a lot for the help Cirno!

[visual island]

Do you have discord.py on master branch version? You can see this by printing discord.__version__ or by doing pip show discord.py on the terminal.

[visual island]

You're most welcome!

[vocal plover]

does it actually not run or is vscode just not resolving correctly?

try running it then

[slate swan]

thanks a lot

[sacred oyster]

im importing the discord library and says this message: "

[sacred oyster]

anyone tells me why?

[visual island]

If you try to run it, does it print anything to the console?

[vocal plover]

ok try py -3.10 -m pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py just to make sure that dpy is being installed on the same python version you're using

that's the only reason VSC wouldn't be resolving it if it's installed

[visual island]

token is currently a NoneType (the None keyword), you need to pass a string of your token.

You can use the -U flag to check if there's a newer version, so do this: py -3.10 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py.

Hello, I have a bot that has a ticket tool (server enquiries, questions, mod applications, etc), I have created the ticket channel but I have an issue, how am I able to make it so that admins and the ticket creator can see the channel, but the rest of the server not able to see it? I am using py await ticket_channel.set_permissions currently.

[green schooner]

Question, I am in a cog and I am using a variable called managerID this is how its defined:

managerID = open("managerID.txt", "r").read()

I use it in a method like that:

def CheckManagerPerm(self, ctx):
        manager_role = ctx.guild.get_role(int(managerID))
        if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator or manager_role in ctx.author.roles:
            return True
        else:
            return False

For a reason it keep on saying NameError: name 'managerID' is not defined and I don't get why is there an other way of defining a variable in there?

[sacred oyster]

how do I fix it

?

[visual island]

Admins by default would be able to see every channel, but for the creator you can set the permission like this (assuming you've set view_channel permission to False when creating the channel):

await ticket_channel.set_permissions(author, view_channel=True, send_messages=True, read_messages=True)

[slate swan]

I'll try now, thank you!

[trail heart]

I can't figure out the invalid syntax

[slate swan]

I have an issue,

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: InvalidArgument: target parameter must be either Member or Role```

[trail heart]

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Admin Commands", color=0xC98FFC)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!purge (AMOUNT)", value="Purge a number of messages in a channel", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!geolocate (IP)", value="Gives general geolocation information about an IP", inline=False)``` 
i cant figure out the invalid syntax

[visual island]

Where do you define managerID? If it's a class variable, E.g.

class MyClass:
    my_var = 1
``` you can use `self.my_var` to get the variable, but if you do it in another place and it's dynamic (may change), you can use a botvar (see `!tag botvar` for more information).

[supple thorn]

Show the code above the elif statement

[slate swan]

Try wrap it in ( )

[supple thorn]

Probably not the problem

[slate swan]

  elif (arg.lower() == "admin"):```

[slate swan]

Ya never know.

[supple thorn]

I do

[trail heart]

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Webhook Commands", color=0xC98FFC)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!decode (BASE64 CODE)", value="Decode", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!curl (WEBHOOK)", value="Find information about a webhook", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!nuke (WEBHOOK)", value="Delete a webhook", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!troll (WEBHOOK) (MESSAGE)", value="Sends any message of your choice to a webhook", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!spam (WEBHOOK) (MESSAGE)", value="Spams a troll message to a webhook", inline=False)
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

  elif arg.lower() == "admin": (INVALID ONE)
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Admin Commands", color=0xC98FFC)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!purge (AMOUNT)", value="Purge a number of messages in a channel", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="bubble!geolocate (IP)", value="Gives general geolocation information about an IP", inline=False)```

[visual island]

It would be helpful if you send the whole code, but generally you need to do E.g.

token = "the_token"

bot.run(token)

[green schooner]

On it, thank you

!tag botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[sacred oyster]

import discord
import os

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("I'm in")
    print(client.user)

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author != client.user:
        await message.channel.send(message.content[::-1])

token = os.environ.get("DISCORD_BOT_SECRET")
client.run(token)```

[slate swan]

Where's the red squiggly lines?

[green schooner]

To use this botvar do I have to call it using bot.name? Or just to define it?

[trail heart]

next to where i typed (invalid one)

[slate swan]

Ohh.

[supple thorn]

Does it actually error invalid syntax

[supple thorn]

Also show your entire code

[trail heart]

why cant i send screenshots

can i msg u dms

[supple thorn]

Show your entire code

[slate swan]

.

[visual island]

A possible reason is that you have a folder/file named discord.py or discord, but you could check by doing print(dir(discord)) for seeing the possible attributes for discord.

[slate swan]

await ticket_channel.set_permissions(author, view_channel = True, send_messages = True, read_messages = True)```

Here's the line that gives the issue.

Wait, I think the value of author is message.author.id.

Yes, I just realised that just now.

[visual island]

It seems that you don't have anything named DISCORD_BOT_SECRET on your environment variables.

[slate swan]

Yep, sure worked!

[visual island]

It can be anything, it's the same as defining normal variable, but this is setting an attribute to your bot object.

[green schooner]

I see

[green schooner]

And how do you use it cogs?

cause it will say that bot is not defined im pretty sure

[visual island]

After you did import discord.

[visual island]

self.bot is your bot object in cogs or if you define it differently it would be the variable which holds the second parameter (after self) on the cog's constructor.

[green schooner]

I see

Thanks a lot again

[sacred oyster]

and what i do?

with what name?

[visual island]

No, it would be

import discord
print(dir(discord)) 
``` and make sure you run it and show what it prints.

I guess they did run it before, at least someone told them to.

[supple thorn]

The await ctx.send was making it invalid

[visual island]

On the sidebar of replit, find the "lock" image, click it and add the environment variable there.

[sacred oyster]

with the name of DISCORD_BOT_SECRET?

[visual island]

You need to pass the intents keyword to the commands.Bot(), so it's something like bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=..., intents=...). Change the ... to the value you want to pass.

[visual island]

Yes, sure, and make sure you have your bot's token set to the value.

[worthy mantle]

what is the difference between Discord.Client() and Discord.ext.bommands.Bot()?

[sacred oyster]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 17, in <module>
    client.run(token)```

shows this error

[visual island]

In your case, it should be something like this:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="n!", intents=discord.Intents.default())
``` or you can pass `discord.Intents.all()` too.

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

anyone?```
