[rotund creek]

Pycord the best 🥳

[lofty pecan]

If I wanna get big with my bot, is it still a good option?

[rotund creek]

Yes definitely

[sick birch]

I would say yes, an API would be best, using aiohttp you won't be blocking your bot with long running processes

[rotund creek]

I use replit for a 300 server bot

Pretty bad

[sick birch]

I would say not, raspberry pi doesn't scale

If you want scalability go for one of the big providers, they handle scaling for you

[rotund creek]

But I cant pay for hosting so yea

[cloud dawn]

Nothing is stopping you from combining them lol

[sick birch]

Yeah you can set up a raspberry pi mega farm, but if you're going commercial getting yourself a web provider is the best way to go

[lofty pecan]

and do you know any good clear tutorials for newbie on that topic?

[sick birch]

Scalability?

[lofty pecan]

no no

how to use web server like google or microsoft to host a python discord bot

[sick birch]

Ah it's really not that hard, the hardest part would be setting up an account and purchasing the host

[lofty pecan]

lmao

[frozen patio]

Hello, someone please help me with this.

[lofty pecan]

is it hard because you loose money in the process xD

[sick birch]

Pick a provider first, it's much easier to find guides once you have a concrete plan

[lofty pecan]

okay

[sick birch]

Probably. Good hosts don't come for free

[lofty pecan]

ye I know that

I am aware I also read the pinned messages

[sick birch]

If you're planning on going big you have to be wiling to put down an initial investment and earn it back in the future

[lofty pecan]

and I agree lol that's why a lot of content about free host services annoy me when i try to find a solution

[sick birch]

Same here, I don't like free hosts. Probably because I spend too much on hosting 😂

[cloud dawn]

I think it you're trying to make a profit coding big Discord bots you're kinda in the wrong industry.

[lofty pecan]

Well considering it's for artists on discord to share information about their ocs and that a lot of them are willing to try maybe I could set up a funding system to help hosting the bot

[sick birch]

Yeah, there are already a bunch of established ones. But there's always room for innovation

[sick birch]

Sure, but I'd say while your bot is still small to medium sized, keep it on a raspberry pi or similar

[lofty pecan]

Ho okay

[sick birch]

It shouldn't be very hard to migrate from there to a provider when you're at that point

[lofty pecan]

Where would the limit?

[sick birch]

I would say once you have to start sharding

[lofty pecan]

Size wise

[vocal plover]

My prediction is with the rise of the message content intent we'll see less large bots making money and instead Bot-as-a-service things that host a bot for your server specifically with 1 click for a fee

[lofty pecan]

Sharding

[sick birch]

~500 guilds ish?

[lofty pecan]

Hooo

[sick birch]

might be pushing it

[vocal plover]

start sharding at about 1500 guilds

[lofty pecan]

Yeah I still have time for that haha

[cloud dawn]

More like 2000

[lofty pecan]

What is sharding ;(

[sick birch]

Yeah, not sure if sharding is where you should migrate

[vocal plover]

but a RPi won't really handle that

[sick birch]

I'm trying to guess how much an RPI could handle

Kind of hard lmao

[vocal plover]

honestly my benchmark for getting off a rpi would be when you're big enough for being verified

so ~100 servers

[lofty pecan]

That's 100 servers yeah

[sick birch]

That sounds reasonable

[lofty pecan]

It means a stable user base so support

[sick birch]

Yup, for sure. Donations are an option from there

[lofty pecan]

👍

[pliant gulch]

Inb4 big bots become data brokers

[vocal plover]

tfw you have a bot in 12k servers and zero donations

[lofty pecan]

[pliant gulch]

Time to do a google 😈

[vocal plover]

google doesn't sell your data because that would be a strategic disadvantage

since they also do the advertising if they give your data to anyone they're making more competition for themselves

[lofty pecan]

I need to see how much is a RP

[sick birch]

I got my RPI 4 for ~120

[lofty pecan]

Dollars?

[sick birch]

Right

[pliant gulch]

Well, they had an agreement or something with facebook to lockdown the Ad competiton 😳

[lofty pecan]

Damn

How long did it take you to switch to online hosting?

[sick birch]

Not long. I wanted to use some of AWS's other services (S3, R53 domain, and a few others) so I was like, might as well keep everything in one spot with EC2

[frozen patio]

Can please someone help me? 😅

[sick birch]

And I was trying to get a little bit of machine learning in the bot as well, and aws provides that so it was another reason for me to switch

[lofty pecan]

Ho nice!

[normal lark]

someone could mp me i need help for a discord bot that does tiktok shares pls ?

[full lily]

wym "does tiktok shares"

[normal lark]

? i am french sorry i don't understand wyw lol

[lofty pecan]

Well then I need to see what Raspberry I can get, how to set it up and then boom how to host my discord bot on it

Thanks for the time you dedicated me @sick birch

[sick birch]

No problem. Feel free to ping me if you have any further questions or concerns

[lofty pecan]

[brave forge]

@sick birch help pls

[sick birch]

I'm not quite understanding

[brave forge]

in any case, I get a mutation. Even when if is triggered

why, when an IF EXCEPTION is triggered, the command continues to work anyway!?

[sick birch]

Not sure if that's possible without wrapping the whole thing in a try/catch block

[brave forge]

I understand everything thanks)

[lofty pecan]

hey there it's me again 😅 After a quick look some stuff came up as very weirdly or poorly explained. First of all, I assume that a raspberry pi on its own doesn't do anything, I would need SD cards for storage, but maybe cable to connect to my pc ? to access its terminal? What's scare me the most is my lack of knowledge on that, since I've never did anything like that before, and 3 years of theoretical physics don't help you at all. I just feel like any tutorials online assume you already know everything about RP and doesn't explain the fundamental to you. It's really a mystery lmao

[sick birch]

Yeah, we're in the same boat on that one. I feel like it's not all that well explained. The one I got by cana kit came with everything I needed, a cable to hook up to my monitor (micro HDMI to HDMI), a charging cable (USB-C), an extra optional cooling fan for the RPI (in case you are mining crypto on it haha), which is all you really need

you only have to hook it up to your monitor and attach a kb/mouse to it during initial setup

After that you can disconnect it and leave it headless (without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse attached, only the power cable) and access it via your regular computer

[brave forge]

!s python

s! help

!s help

[sick birch]

#bot-commands please

[lofty pecan]

Cana kit noted

[lofty pecan]

Okay so mouse and keyboard but what if I don't have a keyboard lol. I only have a laptop...

I have that a lot

Check your type in your dictionary

Well

You might be either :
Looking for a key that doesn't exist
Access an element using an int when it's a str

To add a key in a dictionary you just have to do dic['key name']=value

Also

In open account in the first if statement

Maybe the type isn't the correct one

Not sure because I don't know the definition of your function

Also it seems your using json as a database

I'd suggest using sqlite3 for database, you will have less issues and more flexibility

Check also this message

I just changed my database system to sql from json. Much better. Faster. And looks way better.

I use sqlite 3 but I am sure there are other options

Also where is the error occurring. You should have the line where it appears

?

Read this for database

[boreal ravine]

sqlite3, postgre, deta, redis, mongo

[lofty pecan]

The if statement is kinda weird. Basically you're doing a if false return false thingy.

Maybe you should do a try / except instead

[lofty pecan]

Well Robin it's way passed my bed time. I hope you don't mind if tomorrow I just dm you or ping you here about RP and Co. Thanks again for your help!

[sick birch]

Yup. Feel free to ping me if you'd like tomorrow

[south jetty]

I am experiencing this issue,
when I host my bot it has some downtimes
after those downtimes the data will restart
how do I fix this

[south jetty]

help please

[boreal ravine]

what host are you using

[south jetty]

heroku

[boreal ravine]

thats why

[boreal ravine]

what is 'data'? a json file?

[south jetty]

yes

but im learning sqlite3

[boreal ravine]

you mean SQL..

[south jetty]

so I can use it instead of json

oh

[south jetty]

but will SQL still run into the same problem?

[boreal ravine]

yes

the only way (that i know of) is to use an online database

[south jetty]

what is that

[boreal ravine]

An online database is a database accessible from a local network or the Internet, as opposed to one that is stored locally on an individual computer or its attached storage. Online databases are hosted on websites.

[slate swan]

It was my first python project and its fine

[final pumice]

@lofty pecan I just got a rasberry pi to host my bot on one server

raspberry*

[slate swan]

..

[slate swan]

Cool

[final pumice]

I bought my from CanaKit, and it comes with its own case and cooling fan. So, I recommend buying from there

[slate swan]

Can u show me a pic :>

[final pumice]

of my RP?

[slate swan]

Ye

[final pumice]

Yeah hold on

Ive tried a few things

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[blissful sparrow]

error in console is incomplete input

if it was too long to fit in a codeblock otherwise I was going to but will do next time ig

[slate swan]

Back

[blissful sparrow]

timeout is like 180 tho

https://caught-lackin-in-8k-by-cyberghost.cf/VFyWeUtuI5nr

[grave summit]

what do i need to type to send a file through the discord bot

[blissful sparrow]

its a ui based help menu but I only want certain users seeing for example owner commands, ittl check the db if an id is there

[slate swan]

Funny thing - im familier with d.py and idk sql

Cuz i never learned it***

Lol

[blissful sparrow]

im using aiosqlite

[slate swan]

Oh

[grave summit]

on discord.py ive tried to find how to upload a file as the discord bot and send it but not sure what i need to put

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=..., description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[grave summit]

ah ok how would i do that?

sorry if its a stupid question im v new haha

oh ahhh

[slate swan]

Goto stack if u dont understand for example

[frozen patio]

Why cannot I not use ID in my database line?

How could i fix that?

[slate swan]

Bruh

Use :

For typehint

[frozen patio]

OH

Sorry for the dumb question 😅

[slate swan]

np

[frozen patio]

Sorry for another dumb question

But why can I not do .mention

[cloud dawn]

!e None.mention

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
003 | AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'mention'

[frozen patio]

Yeah

But why can I not do that

[cloud dawn]

Assuming role[1] is an id, you're using get

[frozen patio]

It is

[cloud dawn]

get gets items from the cache and if the item isn't cached it returns None

[frozen patio]

I set it to an INTEGER in the database

Okay, well how can I fix it

I want it to mention in the command

[cloud dawn]

from discord import Role, Guild
from discord.ext.commands import Context

async def getch_role(self, guild: Guild, role_id: int) -> Role | None:
    if not isinstance(role_id, int) or len(str(role_id)) != 21:
        print("role_id is invalid")
        return None

    if not isinstance(guild, Guild):
        print("No guild object has been passed")
        return None

    return guild.get_role(role_id) or await guild.fetch_role(role_id)

[frozen patio]

👀

What?

And I am using nextcord

So why all of those unnecessary imports

[cloud dawn]

Those aren't unnecessary imports

[frozen patio]

I do not understand what you coded

[cloud dawn]

Just replace it with nextcord.

[rotund creek]

Bro if you dont understand this module stuff

[cloud dawn]

This is an async function that if the role id that is passed is not in cache, fetch it from the api.

[frozen patio]

Ah

[old crescent]

is the vcokltfre discord.py tutorial broken?

i was using it last night and now im getting error 404s now

[frozen patio]

So I cannot pull the role ID from the cache or the guild roles?

[cloud dawn]

We don't need these kind of comments here

[cloud dawn]

Somehow your id isn't cached so you have to fetch it, I use the function above so I never have to deal with the cache ever again.

[frozen patio]

I also just created the role

If that has anything to do with it.

[cloud dawn]

Inside the same command?

[frozen patio]

No, I created the role

Then set it to a level reward role

[cloud dawn]

Manually?

[frozen patio]

Yea

[cloud dawn]

Well this should fix your issue but you can also just always use fetch.

[frozen patio]

Could I convert that into my code now and be fine?

[cloud dawn]

Yeah it's a standalone function

[frozen patio]

This is what I have currently

[frozen patio]

👀

[cloud dawn]

Alec stopped developing it.

[boreal ravine]

async def getch_role(self, guild: Guild, role_id: int) -> None | Role:
``` you forgot `None`

[old crescent]

is it off his website now too?

[cloud dawn]

True

[old crescent]

i take it that it's just the nextcord and disnake ones now?

[cloud dawn]

He is using a different design now but it's not finished. I'd stop to seeing as now people are going back to discord.py

[cloud dawn]

Yep

[old crescent]

ah gotcha

[pliant gulch]

Wouldn't it always return Role?

Because fetch_role raises an error if the ID is invalid

[old crescent]

unfortunate lol, i was using it last night and it was a really solid tutorial

[pliant gulch]

So therefor, logically it would always return a Role or raise an error

[boreal ravine]

he returned None

[pliant gulch]

Oh right

Raises another question on why you'd return None instead of raising an error there

[cloud dawn]

I was thinking about that but then he'd also need to handle those errors.

[frozen patio]

Is getch_role right in this?

or fetch_role?

[cloud dawn]

What do you mean?

[frozen patio]

is getch_role even right?

[cloud dawn]

Yes since it's first trying to get it then if that fails fetch it hence getch

[frozen patio]

Ah

I want to know why the cache thing is not working at all

[cloud dawn]

Most likely since you just made the role.

[frozen patio]

How long do I have to wait?

For it to be in the cache?

[cloud dawn]

Depends on what you do it doesn't get cached after x amount of time.

Not certain on what functions it updates the cached but most likely on something like .roles etc

[frozen patio]

I also do not know how to add your code into mine

[eternal cairn]

[cloud dawn]

!d nextcord.Guild.fetch_roles

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.Guild.fetch\_roles

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

Retrieves all [`Role`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Role "nextcord.Role") that the guild has.

Note

This method is an API call. For general usage, consider [`roles`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Guild.roles "nextcord.Guild.roles") instead.

New in version 1.3.

[cloud dawn]

Weirdly nextcord only allows you to fetch all roles

Discord.py is the same hmm

[frozen patio]

Well

I used an old role to see if that changed anything but ig not

[pulsar thunder]

What's a command to recognize q particular ping to a name

[sick birch]

member.mentioned_in(message) will return a bool indicating if a member was mentioned in a give message

[split merlin]

Hi, I am trying to put a local image into an embed but it doesn't work, it keeps posting the image then post the embed below py embed = Embed(color=random_color) file = File(f"{path_to_ring_images}{lowerRingName}.png") embed.set_image(url=f"attachment://{lowerRingName}.png") await ctx.send(file=file, embed=embed)

[frozen patio]

I made my level system successfully!

[frozen patio]

You could do a thumbnail too, just a suggestion

[split merlin]

oh yeah i made it in a thumbnail but it didn't work and i saw some examples where they were using it in set_image so i said might try and see where the issue is

anyway i fixed it

[frozen patio]

Nice

[split merlin]

mhm

congrats btw

[frozen patio]

Thanks

Using a database was h*ll

Now I have to integrate this all into 1 of my bots

I always make the code in a test bot, then use it into other bots

[sick birch]

Yeah. That's why you use an ORM to make that much nicer

[frozen patio]

I used aiosqlite

[slate swan]

well done!

[frozen patio]

Was hard to do

After 2 months of doing python actually getting half-decent

[slate swan]

wow 2 months?

quite impressive

i made my first db project after like 7months

[frozen patio]

I am trying to do school at the same time 😅

[slate swan]

same, im failing

[frozen patio]

I am passing with A's and B's

I take advanced classes and tutor people

[slate swan]

Cs😔

[slate swan]

ah nice

i take normal cuz i like doing easy stuff

[frozen patio]

I try to be a good person

I am great at math

And found my professional career 2 months ago

[slate swan]

nice

[slate swan]

i hate math😡

[frozen patio]

I am starting too

8th grade math is not easy at all

[slate swan]

algebra 😳

[frozen patio]

Yep

Can go- Yep

[slate swan]

lmaooo

[frozen patio]

LMAO

[old crescent]

i took the sample code from the link ill attach: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html
but i get an error on line six saying that
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\PycharmProjects\BigBotMan\main.py", line 6, in <module>
intents.message_content = True
AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'

anyone know how to fix that? the message intent is enabled in my dev portal

[hushed galleon]

if you're using dpy 1.7.3 you dont need to write .message_content since that intent didnt exist when 1.7 was released

[old crescent]

im on 2.0

[hushed galleon]

oh then you just need to update to the lastest version of 2.0

[old crescent]

i believe im on it? is there a way to check

im new to python lol

im using windows and pycharm

[hushed galleon]

2.0 is technically the master branch of the discord.py repository on github, which is still receiving continuous updates to it

[old crescent]

ive got Rapptz's redo of discord.py

[hushed galleon]

so you have to install the latest commit to get .message_content

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

[old crescent]

yeah weird i was given that link and installed it that way

[hushed galleon]

hm can you do pip show discord.py and send back the version that it outputs

hm that commit is 5 days ago

can you show the code you wrote?

[old crescent]

sure

is there a proper way to do it over discord? or just send the code

[hushed galleon]

!paste if its a lot you can save it on this

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:

[hushed galleon]

also can you share the result of pip list? it might be that you have a library conflicting with dpy

did i do that right

[hushed galleon]

yup that looks fine

how are you running the code, in your terminal or through pycharm?

[old crescent]

py -3 main.py in the terminal in pycharm

[hushed galleon]

you wouldnt happen to have multiple versions of python 3 installed do you?
py -0 to check

[old crescent]

Installed Pythons found by C:\Windows\py.exe Launcher for Windows
(venv) *
-3.10-64

[hushed galleon]

ah, you have a virtual environment in your project

[old crescent]

should i remove it? idk waht im doing lol

ive got like one year of comp sci classes lol, so im pretty new to all this

[hushed galleon]

the venv allows you to use packages for a specific project without actually installing them globally to your python interpreter, which is why you need to be careful about which one your terminal and pycharm is using

[old crescent]

ohhhh

yeah i should trash that then right? im good with installing stuff to my interpreter i think

[hushed galleon]

you could go without the virtual environment, but it would clutter your global site packages which is less convenient to work with, especially if you need a package that has conflicting dependencies with other packages

the terminal in pycharm automatically activates the virtual environment for you, so you can just run the same pip install command inside there and it will install to your venv

[old crescent]

should i have clicked on the project folder or venv when i installed it?

[hushed galleon]

uhh im not sure where you're referring to

[old crescent]

so when i use the pip install commands, teh location is the folder of the project, not the VENV folder

[hushed galleon]

oh do you mean the file explorer tab on the side of pycharm? you dont need to worry about the folder you have selected there

[old crescent]

oh awesome

[hushed galleon]

just know that when it says Python 3.10 (BigBotMan) in the bottom right corner of pycharm rather than just Python 3.10, its telling you that its using a virtual environment, and opening the Terminal in pycharm will activate the virtual environment for you

[old crescent]

oh okay

great to know

[hushed galleon]

speaking of which, i believe your virtual environment has an old version of discord.py installed whereas your global interpreter is more recently updated

[old crescent]

totally possible

i had installed an old one, given the new one to install, deleted the old hopefully the right way, and then installed the proper

[worthy mantle]

I see a lot of the same ppl here

[old crescent]

is there a way to clear the old installs ive done perhaps?

[hushed galleon]

as in removing the packages from your global interpreter?

[old crescent]

yes

so i can try to fix whatever weird outdated installs i have

[hushed galleon]

there's a helper package that can uninstall a package and its dependencies for you:
pip install python3-pip-autoremove https://github.com/enjoysoftware/pip3-autoremove
usage: pip3-autoremove <package>
if you want to do it manually you can look through pip list and run pip uninstall discord.py aiohttp aiosignal <and more...>

[old crescent]

could my pip version be an issue, it says its outdated

[hushed galleon]

it wont affect your dpy installation but you're free to update it

[hazy oxide]

How to enable required permissions in slash command ? I use @commands.has_permissions but it doesn't work (nextcord)

[old crescent]

so i created a new project, reran the install for discord.py, ran it with "py -3 main.py" and i got the same issue

[hushed galleon]

and you did all your commands in the pycharm terminal?

[old crescent]

yup, pycharm terminal

[hushed galleon]

it looks like nextcord has a separate has_permissions() decorator for slash commands
https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/ext/application_checks/index.html#nextcord.ext.application_checks.has_permissions

[hushed galleon]

oh i just realized -3 overrides the virtual environment and uses your system interpreter instead

[hazy oxide]

Thank you

[old crescent]

HA didnt know that

so just py main.py?

[hushed galleon]

yep

[old crescent]

ha that worked

thanks so much i really appreciate the help

[hushed galleon]

np, ill be off to sleep now

[old crescent]

goodnight!

[hazy oxide]

where i can get application_checks?

[ruby pulsar]

hi

[pulsar thunder]

Thnx will try using it

[jagged brook]

how to make a command without a prefix

[slate swan]

Are you familiar with subclassing?

[jagged brook]

not really

I know how to make slash and prefix

but not subclassing

[pulsar thunder]

What's a command to recognize a particular ping to a name

[slate swan]

@jagged brook It's a Python concept, you can watch this video if you want to learn about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSl87lqOXDE

Alternatively, you can just pick your own source for info.

from discord.ext import commands

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    async def get_prefix(self, message):
        # You should return an empty string or a list with the empty string

        return ''

bot = MyBot(...)

@bot.command(...)
async def foo(ctx, ...): ...

...

You can now call the foo command by just sending "foo" in text channel

[jagged brook]

but I already have a prefix

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', help_command=None)```

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands

async def get_prefix(bot, message):
    # You should return an empty string or a list with the empty string

    return ''

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=get_prefix)

@bot.command(...)
async def foo(ctx, ...): ...

...

[slate swan]

You can return a list of strings

Each string will be a valid prefix

[jagged brook]

like an example?

[slate swan]

This solution also works (I should have suggested this initially instead)

You can also pass a list of strings as command_prefix

[pulsar thunder]

@slate swan any suggestions? Using member , there's an error saying I didn't declare it . What do I declare it as?

[slate swan]

Hold on I just bloated up my answer like crazy because I assumed things you didn't mention. Just do this:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=['', '>'])

[jagged brook]

k

' ' has a blank?

[pulsar thunder]

Blank prefix

[slate swan]

But it makes every command invokable without a prefix

[jagged brook]

oh thanks

[jagged brook]

I know a tweak, dw

[slate swan]

Which is why the dynamic function approach may be better but go ahead

[pulsar thunder]

Any help with mine too pls

[jagged brook]

@bot.command()
async def >help

genius

[slate swan]

What do you mean by that? Can you show an example of the code you're trying to produce?

[pulsar thunder]

Ooh wait

Like the input and output?

[slate swan]

Not a great solution. You also can't do that because syntax. You should pass '>help' into the command decorator and name the command function something else for it to work.

[jagged brook]

somehow it works

[slate swan]

I confused

[pulsar thunder]

If lucky is mentioned
Send msg yo
Return

Something like dat

[jagged brook]

@bot.command(name='>help')
async def embed(ctx):

    embed=discord.Embed(title="COMMANDS",description="**>dice:**\n`it is a virtual dice!`\n\n**>poll:**\n`create a poll to decide problems!`\n\n**>suggest**\n`suggest something that you want added to the server!`\n\n**>pat(user)**\n`show your love by patting a user!<3`\n\n**>rps (input)**\n`well play rock paper scissors cuz why not?`", color=0x384dd6)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url=a)
    embed.set_author(name="Lapis", icon_url=a)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

It shouldn't work.

[pulsar thunder]

Sorry for not going on details typing on a tab is frustrating

[slate swan]

Oh yeah this will

it would work as prefix>help

[jagged brook]

yeah

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    user = ...  # Get the user

    if user.mentioned_in(message):
        ... # Do what you need to do here

!d discord.Client.get_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_user

get_user(id, /)```
Returns a user with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

sidenote: user.mentioned_in is true even for everyone and role mentions

[pulsar thunder]

So the name for member on python is user

[slate swan]

you can just py if user in message.mentions: ...

[slate swan]

no, discord.User and discord.Member are different things

!d discord.User

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User

class discord.User```
Represents a Discord user.

x == y Checks if two users are equal.

x != y Checks if two users are not equal.

hash(x) Return the user’s hash.

str(x) Returns the user’s name with discriminator.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

[slate swan]

a member is just a user that's bound to a guild (they have guild-specific properties like nickname and roles)

[pulsar thunder]

Ooh

Bigger class kinda?

[slate swan]

Member is a subclass of User, yes

[pulsar thunder]

Thnx will try rn

[slate swan]

Not really a subclass

[jagged brook]

code for a simple command that is like >hello, replies with hello!, I want an example because I forgot

[slate swan]

It's designed to behave like it is a subclass but that's not true.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

This works similarly to [`send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for non-interaction contexts.

For interaction based contexts this does one of the following...

[jagged brook]

thanks

[slate swan]

Call send()

[jagged brook]

@bot.command(name="cya")
async def cya(ctx):
  await.ctx.send("cya too! Have a nice day <3")``` this aint working

wait nevermind

found the mistake

[pulsar thunder]

What to do for a particular user

Enter ID instead of the word user?

[slate swan]

user is not a word..

[jagged brook]

discord.user

[pulsar thunder]

In English

Oh wait

Brb

[slate swan]

You can just check whether either

f'<@{user_id}>'
``` or
```py
f'<@!{user_id}>'

Is in message.content

[slate swan]

a user object, as timtoy already told

[slate swan]

Try this approach and see if it works for you.

[pulsar thunder]

Ok

[jagged brook]

how to add gaps to command like how are you and it replies with I am good!

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[slate swan]

oh yea my bad, discord.py doesnt subclass it

[slate swan]

Oh wait, I interpreted that differently

i confused it with hikari's Member object

[jagged brook]

yes

[slate swan]

It used to I think, but they optimized it for memory

apparently its a subclass of abc.Messageable and _UserTag ( which is basically just a class with an id attribute )

[jagged brook]

is it even possible to ?

[slate swan]

.wait_for() is useful for maintaining a "conversation" with your bot. If you want to implement commands like "how are you", it would break due to how discord.py parses message content. You should use an event listener for the on_message event like so

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    ... # Do some sanity checking here if you want to (eg, make sure message.author is not a bot)
    if message.content === 'how are you':
        ...

[slate swan]

_UserTag is used in some isinstance() checks elsewhere I think

[pulsar thunder]

Did do it wrong?......

[jagged brook]

k thanks

[slate swan]

Yes, remove the {} and the f string declaration

[slate swan]

👍

[pulsar thunder]

I tried it before

[slate swan]

use "<@!id>"

[pulsar thunder]

It gave an error

[slate swan]

what error?

What did you try? What was the error? Please provide more info.

[pulsar thunder]

Idk it said syntaxes error pointing at @

[slate swan]

...

[pulsar thunder]

Syntax

[slate swan]

That doesn't help

Please provide the traceback

[pulsar thunder]

It didn't give error this time lemme verify now

[slate swan]

Fyi @pulsar thunder, the mention will sometimes be this if the member being mentioned is nicked.

[pulsar thunder]

No reply now

[slate swan]

The difference is the exclamation point ||that Discord felt was a good design choice||

you can check both the ! and without ! strings using any statement

!d any

[unkempt canyon]

any

any(iterable)```
Return `True` if any element of the *iterable* is true. If the iterable is empty, return `False`. Equivalent to:

```py
def any(iterable):
    for element in iterable:
        if element:
            return True
    return False

[slate swan]

What a pointless builtin

[pulsar thunder]

This is how it is rn

Sure will check

[slate swan]

Are you receiving message content at all?

[pulsar thunder]

For other commands yes

[slate swan]

if you are using 2.0, you would need message_content intents

[pulsar thunder]

It replies hello roasts people just doesn't reply for pings

[slate swan]

you want it to reply when someone mentions the bot right?

[pulsar thunder]

On replit I think it uses 3.6 or something

[slate swan]

Discord.py 3.6 lol

[pulsar thunder]

Mentions me

[slate swan]

replit uses python 3.8 and im talking about your discord.py v

[slate swan]

you can just ```py
user = bot/client.get_user(your_id)
if user in message.mentions:

your stuff```

[pulsar thunder]

User global or local as variable I wanna try local

[slate swan]

all of the code goes inside your on_message function

[pulsar thunder]

The your ID part do I add the <@>?

If not it didn't work

This was the error I got previously as well

[paper sluice]

Just put the int without the <@>

[pulsar thunder]

I did

Didn't work

[paper sluice]

What the error now?

[pulsar thunder]

No error

Just didn't respond

[paper sluice]

Show code

[pulsar thunder]

The specific lines?

@paper sluice

[paper sluice]

The whole function

[pulsar thunder]

There a bunch of stuff in between

[paper sluice]

Um then just send the relavent part

[pulsar thunder]

1st part

Ahhh I might have an issue

[heavy folio]

it takes an integer

[pulsar thunder]

Yup

See the new scr shot

[slate swan]

do you have member intents?

[pulsar thunder]

Don't think so idk what those are

[slate swan]

!intentw

[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.

[pulsar thunder]

Ohh

[loud junco]

its an error few secs ago now it isnt anymore

alright

its an error again

what should i change it to

[pulsar thunder]

I dont use prefixes on my bot should I still enter the line and make a prefix and keep it blank?

[loud junco]

the cooldown_retry_after

[loud junco]

???

wdym

[pulsar thunder]

Irrelevant

[loud junco]

BRUH

just make a prefix

[pulsar thunder]

It from my issue not a solution that's what I meant

Don't like em

[loud junco]

gg

?

who ping

:(

[swift crane]

how to make verification system by reaction role

[loud junco]

make those channel needing some specific role such as member

and make a role in reaction role call member as well

when they get the role those selected channel will open i guess

[swift crane]

i know app part

I don't see it in code

[loud junco]

just do the reaction role

no need to worry about vertification

[swift crane]

do you have example?

[loud junco]

nope

i dont code mod and role management bot

[sacred oyster]

For what are the intents?

And why i need it

[swift crane]

so...

as i know your bot need to get info about user changes like avatar change or join/leave

[thick token]

Hello, How to detected when user join a specified voice channel send messages?

[sacred oyster]

Where i put it?

[swift crane]

i have it here

[swift crane]

idk

[sacred oyster]

Im copying your code

[swift crane]

ok

[sacred oyster]

Can u tell me all your imports?

[loud junco]

[slate swan]

I'm trying to make a new Help command on a Test bot and why does it trigger the except statement if i react to the message? It should normally only send it if the help command was used in a server and the authors DM's are closed.

I know i should not use the bade expect on it but idc how to tell it, if the dms are closed. If that makes sense?

[lofty pecan]

Ho really? And how does that work?

[vale wing]

@slate swan try catching explicitly discord.Forbidden and discord.HTTPException

Or do something like

except Exception as e:
    raise e```
for debug purposes

And yeah could you show try block contents

If anyone would like to help me with testing a bot DM please, I really need testers

[slate swan]

It just shows this "Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50003): Cannot execute action on a DM channel"

But only if i react

[vale wing]

Alright send me try block

[slate swan]

its very long tho
About 173 Lines

[supple thorn]

Me

[vale wing]

@supple thorn alright I will dm you the info

Oh replit db

[slate swan]

Fixed it i just had to remove "await message.remove_reaction(reaction, user)" because my bot had no permissions for it

[supple thorn]

I thought it was an actual db

[supple thorn]

Item is a class

[loud junco]

u cant iterate a class?

[supple thorn]

You can't iterate a class

[loud junco]

ok

[supple thorn]

As the error tells you, no

[loud junco]

gg

i need to make a dictionary for it?

[slate swan]

Why doesn't my bot reply to the word "hi"?

[supple thorn]

Are you using discord.py?

[slate swan]

Yes

[supple thorn]

What version?

[slate swan]

Latest

[supple thorn]

2.0 or 1.7.3?

[supple thorn]

So 2.0?

[slate swan]

Idk

I think so yes

[supple thorn]

You see those bars on the top left

Click it

[slate swan]

Ok

[supple thorn]

And then click on the terminal one

And do pip show discord.py

[slate swan]

Ok

Btw I'm using pydroid 3

It's python ide on android

[supple thorn]

I know

That's how i know there's a terminal option when you click those bars

[slate swan]

Yes

It is pretty good ide for phone

👌

@supple thorn

1.7.3

[supple thorn]

Did you load the cog in?

[slate swan]

Yes

[supple thorn]

Do you have intents on?

[supple thorn]

I'm dumb

[slate swan]

Lmao

[supple thorn]

You're doing message.send which should be message.channel.send

[slate swan]

Weird

[supple thorn]

It's not

Message doesn't have a send method

Channel does

[slate swan]

Lmfaooo

Use

[supple thorn]

Next time actually paste the code here

Sending images makes it harder for us

[slate swan]

await ctx.send()

[supple thorn]

No

[slate swan]

It needs a string in it

[supple thorn]

You're using message

[slate swan]

Im talking about the other code

[supple thorn]

on_message doesn't have context it has message

[slate swan]

🗿

[supple thorn]

Reply to it

[slate swan]

Wait ima copy and paste the code

    async def on_message(self, message):
        if "hi" in message.content:
            await message.send("Woah!")```

[supple thorn]

message.channel.send

[slate swan]

Oh

[supple thorn]

Also

[slate swan]

I am so dumb

[supple thorn]

alr ill create giveaway cmd today

[supple thorn]

Good luck and show me code just because i'm curious on how you would do it

[lofty pecan]

The lack of documentation about Raspberry Pi and discord bot is insane

[supple thorn]

One of the reasons i didn't use Raspberry Pis to host my bot

[lofty pecan]

lmao

[supple thorn]

The other reason is because i couldn't find any raspberry pis

[lofty pecan]

wait how?

[supple thorn]

😭

[supple thorn]

The shopping online things here don't sell alot of raspberry pis and if i find one they're immediately sold out

[lofty pecan]

bruh

[supple thorn]

😔

Vps next best thing

[lofty pecan]

well

raspberry can be a great solution to start hosting a bot

you pay one time for the whole thing and it can support a lot of servers

[supple thorn]

That is if i can find anyone selling one

[slate swan]

ok.

[lofty pecan]

I don't understand why a single raspberry would cost 180€ and then there is a whole kit that costs less than that

this is for 154€

ho wait nevermind, it's 130€ alone lol

the armor & tools part

[slate swan]

Why does it ignore the reaction ◀? Going forwards works fine but back doesnt
I tried putting it from elif to just if but didnt do anything

[loud junco]

should be

[slate swan]

remove that whitespaces inside the string with the emoji

[slate swan]

Why

[slate swan]

!e print("◀️" == "◀️ ")

[unkempt canyon]

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

False

[slate swan]

cause this.

[slate swan]

On going forwards its the same tho and it works

[slate swan]

may i see that?

[slate swan]

why do you leave those spaces?

[placid skiff]

My god is so hard to do something like this:

params = [("name1", "value1", True), ("name2", "value2" False) ... ]

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

[slate swan]

whitespaces in strings always cause issue

[slate swan]

Because i pasted them in using Win+. and then selected it

you can remove that space

ok

its not like from back to front or front to back

more llike random

how to create slash command error handling decorator? (nextcord)

[slate swan]

great

[radiant wing]

@client.event
async def on_message_edit(message):
    await message.reply('https://c.tenor.com/4H1-3Vbq0rEAAAAM/edited-discord.gif', mention_author = False)

Doesn't work. Help pls.

[slate swan]

!d nextcord.ext.application_checks | https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/ext/application_checks/index.html#nextcord.ext.application_checks.on_application_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.ext.application\_checks

[slate swan]

or are you looking for the event?

[slate swan]

on_message_edit takes 2 arguments, before and after

!d discord.on_message_edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message\_edit

discord.on_message_edit(before, after)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") receives an update event. If the message is not found in the internal message cache, then these events will not be called. Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the [`max_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") parameter or use the [`on_raw_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_edit "discord.on_raw_message_edit") event instead.

The following non-exhaustive cases trigger this event...

[slate swan]

before and after are both discord.Message objects

[radiant wing]

!d discord.on_raw_message_edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_message\_edit

discord.on_raw_message_edit(payload)```
Called when a message is edited. Unlike [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message_edit "discord.on_message_edit"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

If the message is found in the message cache, it can be accessed via [`RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message "discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message"). The cached message represents the message before it has been edited. For example, if the content of a message is modified and triggers the [`on_raw_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_edit "discord.on_raw_message_edit") coroutine, the [`RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message "discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message") will return a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") object that represents the message before the content was modified.

Due to the inherently raw nature of this event, the data parameter coincides with the raw data given by the [gateway](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#message-update).

[radiant wing]

How do I reply then?

[slate swan]

after.reply / before.reply

both work

[radiant wing]

That worked, thx

[loud junco]

how do i do the no such command error thing

[loud junco]

u wanna try?

[boreal ravine]

Don't use JSON

[loud junco]

? wdym

but its working already dont worry

[heavy radish]

Heyy. Is there a way to track my last uptime?

[loud junco]

what uptime

last time u online?

[supple thorn]

Put it in a database

[supple thorn]

No bot uptime

[loud junco]

oo

[heavy radish]

Hmm

[loud junco]

its in the console

[heavy radish]

How?

Cause my command/on_start thing us automatic

[loud junco]

anyone wanna try my bot?

[heavy radish]

Every time my bot restarts. It sends a message to a channel

[loud junco]

btw

do u have example on error handling for non-existing command inputed

[boreal ravine]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

[loud junco]

thanks

[boreal ravine]

last?

[heavy radish]

Yes

Like right before it restarted.

[supple thorn]

Yes

[heavy radish]

It's a bot for quotes said by me or my friends. We use it only on this private server. So it's hosted on replit.

[supple thorn]

Use a basic error handler for commands.CommandNotFound

!d discord.ext.commands.CommandNotFound

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.CommandNotFound

exception discord.ext.commands.CommandNotFound(message=None, *args)```
Exception raised when a command is attempted to be invoked but no command under that name is found.

This is not raised for invalid subcommands, rather just the initial main command that is attempted to be invoked.

This inherits from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError").

[slate swan]

im stuck

give me some idea

wait

[supple thorn]

Make your bot use machine learning to spot out the toxic people in chat and ban them

[slate swan]

bruh

[loud junco]

yes

BAN THEM

[slate swan]

ok so this

[loud junco]

okok

[slate swan]

ok so

[snow ibex]

Hm

It's json?

[loud junco]

idk

[snow ibex]

ah

Hmmm

Lemme check the replit database docs brb

[loud junco]

ok

np thanks

?

:/

im SCP-096

[snow ibex]

Hm

[loud junco]

SURE

SCP-409 also wants some hugs

[snow ibex]

Have you tried db[f"{userid}][f"{items}"]

It seems like a dict

[loud junco]

wow din expect u to know that

im going to make SCP-682 eat it

[supple thorn]

Kayya really liking anime avatars now👀

[loud junco]

LOL

imagine it is
its going to be very epic

hmm

[supple thorn]

I'm talking about your avatar

[loud junco]

make sense tho

[supple thorn]

That's why i said anime avatars

[loud junco]

but u cant destroy 682 anyway

#teamscp682

im going to eat byebye

[supple thorn]

Wait how did you get scp is anime from what i said

[boreal ravine]

Why are there so many if statements

[snow ibex]

Odd innit

[boreal ravine]

and why are the indents so bad

[snow ibex]

Alot of branch statements

Hurts performance I've heard

[boreal ravine]

Define "not working"

[lofty pecan]

Hey there, would there be a way when you run a command that asks you for a color, have a color picker button, like a slider or something like that, and then the bot knows to what that correspond in hex ?

[snow ibex]

Like ui slider?

[slate swan]

any better way of doing this

       
for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels:
    if channel.mention == msg.content:
        await ctx.send("Exists")
        break

[snow ibex]

Nah not possible i don't think

[slate swan]

msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message',check=check,timeout=30)

[slate swan]

me?

[boreal ravine]

Fix the indents

[lofty pecan]

ye

[slate swan]

uh

[snow ibex]

No

[supple thorn]

No

[snow ibex]

Nah mate it's not possible

[lofty pecan]

[snow ibex]

Discord hasn't implemented sliders yet

[slate swan]

.

[boreal ravine]

A dropdown?

[lofty pecan]

?

[slate swan]

if any((channel for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels if channel.name == message.content))```

[boreal ravine]

Whats the use case

[snow ibex]

That would mean you have to implement every single colour

Maybe RGB values instead

That could work

[slate swan]

channel.name is not comparing with message.content

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

when i print msg.content it print #channel

[slate swan]

just change it to channel.mention, everything else remains same

[snow ibex]

That's alot of colours

[slate swan]

oh ye its a for loop

[slate swan]

:D thanks

[boreal ravine]

colours in?

[snow ibex]

They wanted the whole colour spectrum from what I read

[supple thorn]

You know that colour picker

Where you can pick any colour

[boreal ravine]

No

[snow ibex]

Colour wheel

[snow ibex]

Damn

[slate swan]

!color

[loud junco]

[slate swan]

??

[loud junco]

fr

[boreal ravine]

do you have jishaku?

also, why're you using commands.command outside of a cog?

[loud junco]

typo

check it again

[viral sparrow]

Hello, i want to automate a desktop application. i want it to open -> then open something -> type something -> and store what ever it will printout. I need to know what to use to get this result. Thanks.

[boreal ravine]

Is this related to a discord bot?

[viral sparrow]

no but it is close

kinda

can you do the same with discord bot tho?

@boreal ravine

[boreal ravine]

Then ask somewhere else

[boreal ravine]

Maybe

what is the "desktop application"?

[viral sparrow]

At this point i want to open a bluestack (if you know) then there an application and insert there some text and store the output

[sage otter]

This is definitely not a question for this channel

[viral sparrow]

okay

maybe smoe advice to where to ask?

[boreal ravine]

stackoverflow

[sage otter]

You can try opening a help channel

[viral sparrow]

okay

[frigid apex]

hey, i cant use slash commands

You now have discord.py 2.0

If everything was succesful

Why does my bot think the left arrow does the same as the right one? The left one should reset that embed

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[loud junco]

ok :/

[dull terrace]

got a bizarre bug that happened that deleted all player data

[loud junco]

gg

[dull terrace]

in my logs it clearly shows that they pressed a button that was custom_id "cli" plus some other stuff

the literal only way to delete all your data like they did is to press a button with the custom_id "con"

like it deleted every single record they had

[slate swan]

are you venting here or what

[dull terrace]

even if the cache mechanism had a huge failure it wouldn't do that

[final iron]

Shot in the dark, SQL injection?

[dull terrace]

i'm just thinking out loud because im stuck af rn

they're a play tester, i was watching them and they wouldn't know how to do that

like all i can think is somehow for several hours of play, not a single save was made AND the cache mechanism failed but that's impossible

[loud junco]

call ur stepbro to help

[dull terrace]

especially since it seems to be saving fine after the reset

shows their cache was at 5 mins the whole time so nothing changed with that, not like they were removed and added again

[grave summit]

what would i need to put for basically an else statement but with a bot command

so i want that if they dont put any of my created commands or spell it wrong

that a message is sent

[dull terrace]

idk about the best way but i always did something like this when i used message content commands @grave summit

async def on_message(message):
    if message.content == "yourcommand":

    elif message.content == "another command":

    else:
        await message.channel.send("did not understand")```
