😂 thats exactly what the website does, seems like you just saw that "use this to run the bot 24/7" and followed what they asked to do without researching things

[pure sparrow]

I agree

[pure sparrow]

lmao

[slate swan]

enough to get replit blacklisted

[pure sparrow]

yeah maybe

[slate swan]

they stopped accepting replit urls for a while

How to set cooldowns for commands

[slate swan]

use the @commands.cooldown decorator

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[wheat prawn]

add @commands.cooldown(...)

[swift crane]

@junior verge @maiden fable @sick birch @vocal plover thx for help 🫀

and sorry for ping

good night

[cloud dawn]

Robin loves to get pinged dw

[velvet haven]

What's bucket type

[rapid jetty]

Type of cooldown

[slate swan]

the type of cooldown you want to implement

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.BucketType

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.BucketType

class discord.ext.commands.BucketType```
Specifies a type of bucket for, e.g. a cooldown.

[velvet haven]

Oh

[slate swan]

can be a user/guild/channel bucket

member/category and role too

[rapid jetty]

Like, if its commands.BucketType.user is a cooldown to each user, if it is commands.BucketType.channel is a cooldown to the channel and if it is commands.BucketType.guild is a cooldown to the guild

[velvet haven]

Thank you

I get it now

[eager bough]

(:

im back

[cloud dawn]

Anyone up for a challenge? ||aka my problem lol||

[slate swan]

@bot.event
@event.cooldown(1, 15, event.BucketType.user)```
Hello my code says event isn’t defined when it clearly is

[cloud dawn]

It's just BucketType.user

Not event.BucketType.user

[slate swan]

Ok

[cloud dawn]

from discord.ext.commands import BucketType this for the next error

[slate swan]

I already did that next error is event not defined

[cloud dawn]

Oh lol you are doing this

lemme grab the docs

It's just cooldown not event

You also can't apply a cooldown on an event

[pure sparrow]

what is your problem man ?

[slate swan]

So it’s not possible

Is there another way to do it

[cloud dawn]

Got Pycharm error Unnecessary non-capturing group '(?:Overview:\s+)'
Using re (?:Overview:\s+)(?s:.)*(?=\WThread) ```py
Overview:
lorem ipsum text etc

should still catch here

Thread until here catching the word thread

[pure sparrow]

Yeah I think youtube_dl is not welcome in that server..

[cloud dawn]

Not that i know of.

[pure sparrow]

oh lemme see

[pure sparrow]

this is the error on your terminal ?

[cloud dawn]

currently have it like this but pycharm is saying it's wrong.

[cloud dawn]

Pycharm warn.

[sick birch]

what

I uh don't remember helping

[cloud dawn]

Robin you got experience with re groups?

[pure sparrow]

this is the first time it shows it ?

[cloud dawn]

Yeah I just made the reg

[pure sparrow]

very strange... I never used pycharm so Im scared i won’t be able to help you that much but I will do my best...

[cloud dawn]

I tried removing the group but then the re won't match for some reason.

[pure sparrow]

why does that warn appeared ?

[cloud dawn]

Since it doesn't want me to group (?:Overview:\s+)(?s:.)*(?=\WThread)

[pure sparrow]

Oh ok

this is a part of your code right ?

[cloud dawn]

Yeah it is

re.findall(r"(?:Overview:\s+)(?s:.)*(?=\WThread)", self._desc)

self._desc == the lorem text or in this case the test case.

[pure sparrow]

hmm by any chance you didn’t forgot anything ?

Like a « , » or anything ?

[cloud dawn]

What is »?

!charinfo »

[unkempt canyon]

Character Info

[pure sparrow]

Im French I don’t know how we call it in English 😅

[sick birch]

they're quotes in french

[cloud dawn]

fr?

[pure sparrow]

ok thanks 🙏🏻

[sick birch]

yes, "fr"

[cloud dawn]

See what i did there

😏

[slate swan]

[cloud dawn]

Hard to please per usual

[cloud dawn]

You know how to fix my issue? :3

[pure sparrow]

Anyone coding on Pycharm to help him ?

[sick birch]

let's see it

[slate swan]

yep

[rocky hornet]

how can i play an in-memory ogg file?

[cloud dawn]

@pure sparrow I fixed it

I removed the group then used a single search that returns a re object then cast to string ```py
str(re.search(r"(Overview:\s+)(?s:.)*(?=\WThread)", self._desc))

[pure sparrow]

awesome ! great job how have you done ?

[pure sparrow]

Oh... very nice

[rocky hornet]

why would you convert a match object to str

[cloud dawn]

Since __str__ will be the matched part anyways.

[rocky hornet]

it wont

.group() is the matched part

[cloud dawn]

True but it returns the same.

[rocky hornet]

>>> str(re.search("uwu", "amoguwusu"))
"<re.Match object; span=(4, 7), match='uwu'>"

[cloud dawn]

oh yeah lol

[rocky hornet]

so you didnt even test it

but u guessed that it returns the match

[cloud dawn]

I did but it was a small desc and I overread.

Thanks :3

[rocky hornet]

np

[cloud dawn]

I'm extracting data from a website but it's a literal hell since it's pretty inconsistent :(

[rocky hornet]

use beautiful soup

to parse html

[cloud dawn]

I did but there are whole parts of text like the desc that contains multiple parts of data.

Or even text outside tags

[rocky hornet]

whatever suits you best

[cloud dawn]

I have a combination of both rn.

[static lintel]

hey i was wondering if there is a way for me to search for something through my discord bot by adding what i want to search after the command instead of sending a separate message of what i want to search up.
ie;
what i currently have:
me: ..search
discordbot: what do you want to search?
me: google

what i want to do:
me: ..search google
discordbot: desired search results

[slate swan]

just use an argument

and if you want to search for something in google just use their api

[static lintel]

sorry that was just an example but im just curious if its possible to make the command one message instead of two

[slate swan]

yes an argument after the context argument just add another one which if you just want the word of the platform you want to search with a positional argument would do fine.

[static lintel]

oh ok i think i understand what you mean. will test to see if i understood what u said correctly and then check back here again if i need further help. ty! ❤️

[slate swan]

!args-kwargs

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

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

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

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

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

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

      guild = discord.utils.get(self.client.guilds, name=guild_name)
      if guild is None:
        await ctx.send("I don't recognize that guild.")
        return
      await self.client.leave_guild(guild)
      await ctx.send(f":ok_hand: Left guild: {guild.name} ({guild.id})")```

attribute error : bot has no attribute "leave_guild"```

[slate swan]

thats not the right method

!d discord.Guild.leave

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.leave

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

Leaves the guild.

Note

You cannot leave the guild that you own, you must delete it instead via [`delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.delete "discord.Guild.delete").

[velvet haven]

i want the bot to leave the server when call the command

[slate swan]

yes?

[velvet haven]

isn't this for a member to leave a guild

[slate swan]

and i would recommend you just give a snowflake so then you could just get the guild with your bot instance so then you dont need to use utils which it iterates through all guilds

[slate swan]

no

you cant leave a guild for a member, only ban/kick the member, the coroutine that has been given is for your bot

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_guild | this uses dict.get which i think its a hash lookup im not sure as its average time comp is O(1) and its worse case is O(n)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_guild

get_guild(id, /)```
Returns a guild with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

but its still better than using utils as the bot class already has a method for it, yes you could use utils for names etc but you can just use a for loop but i still wouldnt recommend it

[slate swan]

i hate how i close my mobile client on a thread and then when i open it again i get riderected to the default guild channel smh

[torn sail]

[solar seal]

does anyone have an article or something that i can look at that shows how to write slash commands for discord.py?

[solar seal]

how instant is syncing slash commands to a specific guild?

[boreal ravine]

ask discord

[solar seal]

ok

[slate swan]

💀

[boreal ravine]

but it sometimes takes a couple of seconds, depends on the library you're using

[solar seal]

oh then mine just isnt syncing for some reason

nvm im being an idiot

nope i literally just can't do slash commands

[slate swan]

pog

[rare saddle]

Hello, can I somehow use the bot to download all the images that are in the chat? (only images in the chat, no text)

Or if there is already such a bot, its name please

[oblique adder]

nextcord !
can SlashOption choices be a function which return a dict ?

[solar seal]

yeah its nice to have that

is anyone able to give me some pointers on doing slash commands with discord.py as they don't seem to sync to my server at all

[pliant gulch]

Sync as in register?

[solar seal]

yeah basically they don't show up

[pliant gulch]

Have you invited the bot to your guild with the application.commands scope?

You bot requires this scope to be enabled in order to even register commands

[solar seal]

yes i forgot that at first but it has that now

[pliant gulch]

You should probably show the code in question & any errors you get

[solar seal]

ok

what was that paste site again that people use to paste their code in?

[pliant gulch]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[solar seal]

thats it thx

bear in mind this code is gonna look bad because i just couldn't figure it out and started trying random stuff

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/xacumebonu

[grave summit]

is it possible to only allow people with a certain role to use my bot

[solar seal]

@pliant gulch sorry for the ping but if you take a look at that you will see basically what i have so far in regards to slash commands

ok then.....

[slate swan]

!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")...

[solar seal]

anyone willing to actually help me with slash commands without just disappearing?

[silver wolf]

if this is the code u have, from what i've been shown u dont need to explicitly create a tree because commands.Bot already comes with one. Plus u have to sync the commands

[solar seal]

ok so how exactly am i syncing the command is it through putting this?
await tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=MY_GUILD_ID))

[grave summit]

@discord.ext.commands.has_role('Machiavelli')
so i typed this thinking that only the people with the role Machiavelli would be able to use the bot but still anyone is able to use it

im v new so please excuse any absolutely stupid mistakes

[solar seal]

it says how to do that on here https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6

[silver wolf]

well first u dont need 2 clients. u only need 1

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="?", intents=discord.Intents.all())

2: No need to manually create a tree because commands.Bot already comes with one. So u can create ur slash command like so

@bot.tree.command(name="...", description="...", guild=discord.Object(id=...))
async def test(inter: discord.Interaction):
     ...

3. Put the sync in on_ready

async def on_ready():
    await bot.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=...))

Now i've been told put the sync in on_ready, ive been told to not do it in on_ready, idk but it works for me

[grave summit]

oh thank you

[vital whale]

Hello, is anyone available that can help a beginner?

I have this code:

elif message.content == "!list": f = open('output.rtf', 'w') movies = plex.library.section('Movies') for video in movies.all(): await message.channel.send(video.title)

that sends a message for each movie I have on my plex server. However, I'd like it to send as one message. It currently sends one message per movie, which at 800 movies takes forever. Is there a way for it to send as one message? I have tried outputting it to a txt file and sending that file, but even though the file is complete, once it is sent through discord the list is incomplete up to the same movie every time.

[silver wolf]

Along with this, i start the bot with a coroutine

async def load_and_start():
    await bot.load_extension("cogs.test")
    await bot.start("REDACTED")

asyncio.run(load_and_start())

But that's just me. Idk if thats a good way to do it or not, but it works

[torn sail]

They tell u not to do it on_ready just to reduce the amount of api requests

Not any big change

Also u should use the async with bot: context manager to make sure the bot cleans up properly

[silver wolf]

i thought the context manager was only for using the loop?

[grave summit]

idk if im blind but i cant see it on there sorry

ive tried googling it but cant find it

[solar seal]

ok i got a slash command to work for me

[silver wolf]

[solar seal]

now i just need to figure out how to do this with things other than message responses

[silver wolf]

wdym?

[solar seal]

like banning etc

also an alternative to this:
if ctx.message.author.id == 473842262317596672:

[grave summit]

im trying to make my discord bot private so nobody can add it to their servers but its coming up with, cannot add install fields on private application

anyone know the resolution for thi

im not sure what is meant by install fields

[supple thorn]

You could of simplified it to ctx.author.id

[solar seal]

you can prevent people except you adding the bot to servers in the discord developer settings

[grave summit]

thats what im trying to do now but im getting that error

[solar seal]

well i can't for slash commands, at least not that i know of

[solar seal]

it shouldn't be in your code

[supple thorn]

Oh is it slash commands?

[grave summit]

no not in my code

on the site, im getting a red bar at the top

[solar seal]

yeah i am trying to convert my code to slash commands now

[solar seal]

what error?

[grave summit]

"Cannot have install fields on a private application"

[boreal ravine]

if you want people to not be able to use your bot use a global check

[solar seal]

and you are just turning off the public bot setting?

[buoyant zodiac]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[grave summit]

yeah

[solar seal]

i am not sure then

[torn sail]

No it’s like a simpler try finally to close the bot

[solar seal]

i have like no clue how to ban with slash commands at the moment

[torn sail]

Like a normal command

[grave summit]

turns out it was because i had an authorisation in app on, you have to have that setting set to none

[solar seal]

yeah but how do you pass through the user?

[boreal ravine]

get a Guild/Member object then ban them

[boreal ravine]

Add a parameter to the slash command

[torn sail]

Make an arguement type hinted to discord.Member

[solar seal]

i don't know how to do that, literally anything to do with slash commands has literally just driven me mad

[slate swan]

I don't understand why this won't work

embed.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.channel.guild.icon.url)

error

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'url'

[boreal ravine]

The guild doesn't have an icon

[buoyant zodiac]

ctx.guild.icon_url

[slate swan]

ohh

aight

[buoyant zodiac]

its .url???

[boreal ravine]

it changed in newer versions

[buoyant zodiac]

ohh

[grave summit]

how can i restrict bot usage to only members with the bot role

sry ive asked this before but just bumping it

[solar seal]

its on the documentation it shows how its done

[solar seal]

could you explain this a bit more

[lost lichen]

how can i send a custom emoji from a different server that the bot is in? using disnake

[solar seal]

are you still able to help me with this?

it would be nice if people just said they were going rather than saying nothing and disappearing

because then we are just waiting here thinking they could come back when we could be figuring out how to sort our code

[boreal ravine]

member = ...
await member.ban()
``` or what moster said earlier.. ```py
async def slash_command(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await member.ban()

[solar seal]

that doesn't work btw

or maybe it does

[boreal ravine]

I see no reason why it would it not work

[solar seal]

yeah it does ok

[solar seal]

is there any way i can now just make it so the commands only work with my id because if i can get that done i am golden

basically an alternative to this if ctx.message.author.id == 473842262317596672:

i mean if anyone has any ideas please let me know

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.is_owner use this decorator

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.is\_owner

@discord.ext.commands.is_owner()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that checks if the person invoking this command is the owner of the bot.

This is powered by [`Bot.is_owner()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner").

This check raises a special exception, [`NotOwner`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NotOwner "discord.ext.commands.NotOwner") that is derived from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[slate swan]

Youre using Disnake right?

[solar seal]

no

discord.py

[slate swan]

is that a slash command or a normal one?

[solar seal]

slash command

[slate swan]

im not sure if it would work, but try using this

[grave summit]

i have read the documentation on the @commands.has_role, but still not sure on what i need to put to implement this

[solar seal]

i am pretty sure that won't since thats not formatted correctly for discord.py

[grave summit]

@commands.has_role('Machiavelli')

so far i have that so that only people with that role can use my bot😂 not sure what else i would need to put

[torn sail]

If hybrid commands it works

[slate swan]

wdym thats an discord.py internal

[torn sail]

!d discord.app_commands.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.check

@discord.app_commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to an application command.

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CheckFailure "discord.app_commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the appropriate error handlers.

These checks can be either a coroutine or not.

Examples

Creating a basic check to see if the command invoker is you...

[inland shell]

how do u run a python discord bot on your computer using python? can someone help me?

[grave summit]

ive read this but still not sure what i need to put for the function of that command for has_role

[slate swan]

python/py <filename>.py is the most common way

[solar seal]

i am not sure that would work either as i need it to run the command only if i trigger it and if i don't then it needs to tell them that they don't have permissions

[slate swan]

if you are on a windows system you are likely to have py as your python namespace

[grave summit]

are you doing the same as me? trying to add it so that only those with permissions can use the bot?

[cloud dawn]

You need to make your own is_owner check yeah.

[solar seal]

kinda

[inland shell]

I recently got a new PC and my old pc had python installed on it and when someone made a discord bot for me they told me how to run it but now on my new pc i dont know how to re install python and i installed it using there website and added the PATH option but when ever I open the bot file it automatically closes

[slate swan]

right click> open with IDLE> select IDLE

[quaint epoch]

(me who does ctrl+shift+f10 on pycharm)

[inland shell]

only options are python and microsoft store

[cloud dawn]

Still the same except yours is handled by your IDE

[slate swan]

well then you know what to choose..

[inland shell]

python automatically closes when I press it

[slate swan]

i don't think running a 2 gb application just to run a single file is efficient

[sick birch]

Run it from your terminal to see any errors or prints

[inland shell]

Thats what it says

[cloud dawn]

1 gb

[slate swan]

clearly said, python/py

[sick birch]

Ah, is it py on windows?

[slate swan]

oh maybe

[inland shell]

Im on windows, ye

[sick birch]

Cool, try py <filename>.py in that case

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm only familiar with the python3 ... way to do it

[slate swan]

they work same except for the namespace

[sick birch]

Great, then just use py instead of python3

But whoever gave you that discord bot should've probably dockerized it

[inland shell]

@slate swan

[wicked atlas]

So, you run the script, it closes immediately, and you got this from someone else... is this someone else a trustworthy person?

[inland shell]

yes they are perfectly trustworthy i had the bot for over a year and would run it but just got a new laptop and am trying to re run it on this laptop

[slate swan]

navigate to the file's directory first, then use that command
or py "full path to file"

[wicked atlas]

aight, just checking :)

[inland shell]

huh.. what does that mean

[supple thorn]

Is the censored part elija

[inland shell]

no it elias lol

[supple thorn]

Nice

[inland shell]

its a hispanic name

[sick birch]

It's just bot.py, not bot.py.py

[inland shell]

ye i tried both of them

[supple thorn]

I was close

[sick birch]

What happens when you run py bot.py?

[supple thorn]

Also isn't that a j

In the username

[sick birch]

I don't think it's all that important

[supple thorn]

I'm not saying it's important

[wicked atlas]

are you in the same folder that your script is in?

[sick birch]

Oh yeah that makes sense

[inland shell]

im in command prompt

[sick birch]

Navigate to the directory that your file is in

using cd

[inland shell]

what i type

[sick birch]

Where's your file located? Like what's the path?

[sick birch]

In your downloads

so type in cd Downloads

[inland shell]

done

[sick birch]

Your prompt should change to

C:\Users\<username>\Downloads>

Yes?

Then you can run the command py bot.py

[sick birch]

Looks like your person didn't tell you how to get all the dependencies

Did they provide any other files or just bot.py?

[slate swan]

you either need to be in the same directory where the bot.py file is located
or need to provide the complete path to that file

[sick birch]

We've got that issue solved

[inland shell]

just bot.py it worked on my other laptop with him just sending the file.

[slate swan]

Oh its solved

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @inland shell!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[slate swan]

install discord.py first

py -m pip install discord.py

[sick birch]

They probably should've provided you with a requirements.txt file

Or dockerized it which is the preferred way

But I'm going to assume the only dependency is discord.py

In which case so as Sarth said to get that installed

[slate swan]

or poetry 🗿

[sick birch]

And putting everything in one file isn't the best but it works I suppose

I sure hope you didn't pay that person to make you the bot

[inland shell]

its done installing it

[cloud dawn]

Most of the "bot" makers are like 5 bucks since people don't want to pay as much.

[sick birch]

Explains why they're low quality 99% of the time

[inland shell]

and i did pay the person to make the bot and it works really well for what I need it has 3rd party APIs interegated in it

[cloud dawn]

100%

[inland shell]

what now its done installing

[opal cosmos]

how to do listener event in cog?

[sick birch]

Oh that's unfortunate

[slate swan]

commands.Cog.listener

[inland shell]

Oh it works

[sick birch]

@commands.Cog.listener()

[inland shell]

Its opening the file and hosting the bot

[sick birch]

Cool, looks like discord.py was the only dependency

Still don't really agree with the whole thing but it works

[inland shell]

is there anyway to host it 24/7 without my computer

[opal cosmos]

thx

[sick birch]

Yeah, buy a VPS

[cloud dawn]

#965291480992321536

[sick birch]

Yeah that exists now doesn't it

[inland shell]

Alright thanks for the help. Peace ✌️

[opal cosmos]

wow, turns out i only need one on_error event for all cogs

[sick birch]

Be careful about global error handlers

[opal cosmos]

lol yeah

[sick birch]

If you're not they'll end up eating all your errors

[cloud dawn]

They are so **

[opal cosmos]

lol

[polar ice]

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

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

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

Could it be because im using aysnc tasks

Desperately need help trying to figure out why it isnt working now 😦

[opal cosmos]

why wont my bot send emoji?

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
      msg = ">:Error:966148323725705246< __**On cooldown**__, please try again in `{:.2f}s`".format(error.retry_after)
      await ctx.send(msg)

[sick birch]

That's not a default discord emoji

[opal cosmos]

ok

but its one that the bot is in

like its from a server the bots in

[quaint epoch]

they should've made it ready out of the box, procfile, requirements.txt and all

[sick birch]

Preferably with docker, yes

[frozen patio]

How does it net exist when it does exist....

[quaint epoch]

i tried to make as easy to use as possible, just copy the repos, host and you're set

[quaint epoch]

that isn't the full traceback

[frozen patio]

Yes it is

[quaint epoch]

hm

[opal cosmos]

@sick birch the emoji is from a server that the bot is in so it should work right?

[sick birch]

I don't believe using >< is the right syntax for it

[opal cosmos]

ik

but if i did it right then it would change it on discord to just :Error:

[frozen patio]

Do you know the error or no?

[quaint epoch]

nope

[sick birch]

Maybe try using bot.get_emoji()?

[opal cosmos]

in cog? would it not be self.get_emoji()?

[sick birch]

In a cog, it'd be self.bot.get_emoji()

[opal cosmos]

ok

[sick birch]

Given that you set self.bot = bot in your cog constructor

[opal cosmos]

ye

[opal cosmos]

wait what goes in the ()'s? name, id, what?

[sick birch]

ID

!d discord.Client.get_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_emoji

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

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

[opal cosmos]

f-string not allowed

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
      emoji = self.bot.get_emoji(id=966148323725705246)
      msg = f"{emoji} __**On cooldown**__, please try again in `{:.2f}s`".format(error.retry_after)
      await ctx.send(msg)

[sick birch]

Either use all f strings or all .formats() dont mix and match

[frozen patio]

Hello?

[cloud dawn]

msg = f"{emoji} __**On cooldown**__, please try again in `{round(error.retry_after, 2)}s`"

[opal cosmos]

so lets say i wanted to do all .formats(), how would i do that with emoji?

[boreal ravine]

do you have an SQL file viewer

[opal cosmos]

ok

[sick birch]

Not sure, never used formats and there's really no point in using them

[final pumice]

should I ditch discord.py and move to another wrapper

[sick birch]

If you want to, sure

[opal cosmos]

thats the first time someone has liked the way im doing things lol

[cloud dawn]

It uses positional characters like the ?, $ in SQL

[opal cosmos]

also

[sick birch]

Oh, misunderstanding. I meant there's no point in using .format() and you should use f-strings instead

[opal cosmos]

bot now says this for cooldown message:

None On cooldown, please try again in 28.19s

no emoji

[opal cosmos]

ik, i like f strings better

[sick birch]

And you're sure the ID is a valid ID of the emoji?

[opal cosmos]

yes

[boreal ravine]

then why are you using .format?

[opal cosmos]

bcs thats how osmeone told me to do cooldown messages

[cloud dawn]

prob because he found the format of decimal online

[opal cosmos]

actually i didnt, but idk about the person who told me

[sick birch]

Well I wouldn't listen to that someone

[boreal ravine]

yikes

[opal cosmos]

ok 🙂

but then what do i do, the emoji wont work

[sick birch]

Better to find best practices yourself because ones that come from other people may or may not be accurate

[opal cosmos]

ok

[sick birch]

How did you find the ID?

[frozen patio]

Yes

[cloud dawn]

It isn't that bad of code for decimal format.

[opal cosmos]

i have developer mode turned on and right clicked on the moji and clicked copy id

[frozen patio]

It shows the table exists

[boreal ravine]

show

[final pumice]

didn't the owner of discord.py say he's gonna stop working on it tho

[sick birch]

Well it's back

[cloud dawn]

Back again

[sick birch]

There was a gist a while back on resuming development

[sick birch]

Try putting a \ in front of the emoji,

[opal cosmos]

@sick birch

[final pumice]

oh, so he's continuing development?

[opal cosmos]

kk

[boreal ravine]

hm idk try asking in #databases

[sick birch]

for example: !ducky_blurp

[sick birch]

Right

[final pumice]

sick, thanks

[opal cosmos]

shows no id

:Error:

thats all it shows

[sick birch]

Hmmm

That's strange

And it's a custom emoji?

[opal cosmos]

yeah

[sick birch]

Try clicking on the emoji from the selector first, then put a backslash before it

[opal cosmos]

still nothing

do u wanna join the server and try it? bcs im not getting anywhere

XD

[sick birch]

I'm good thanks, I'm stumped as well

That's strange behaviour for custom emojis

[opal cosmos]

ikr

checking my other bots code to see if theres anyt difference

[frozen patio]

Can I combine an xp system and an afk system inside of 1 on_message event?

[boreal ravine]

Sure

[frozen patio]

Well the databases are not letting me

[boreal ravine]

you did something wrong..

[frozen patio]

Yea

But what?

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[frozen patio]

Okay I will use that to show my code

[opal cosmos]

@sick birch ...

idk how but i think the id changed somehow? its the same emoji but the id is different now

[polar ice]

Any help would be hugely appreciated guys, been stuck for months with this problem 😦

[frozen patio]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ucukuwanoc

[boreal ravine]

why

[frozen patio]

Yes

[boreal ravine]

that wasn't a yes or no question

[opal cosmos]

but still no work

[frozen patio]

Oh

I thought I needed to commit both of them

separately

@boreal ravine I removed it, still same error

[boreal ravine]

try deleting your SQL file

[frozen patio]

And redoing them?

[opal cosmos]

ima just use default emojis for now

[boreal ravine]

redoing what

[frozen patio]

Don't I have to remake the sql files?

[boreal ravine]

yes, but aiosqlite will do that for you automatically if it doesn't exist

[frozen patio]

Ah

So let the algorithm make it?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[frozen patio]

@boreal ravine Nope

[boreal ravine]

same error?

[frozen patio]

Yes

Is this causing it?

[boreal ravine]

yes

the last setattr overwrites the old attribute

why're you even using setattr anyways?

[frozen patio]

Oh

Because that is how I set them up

How do I make these 2 work together?

[boreal ravine]

create multiple tables inside one file

[frozen patio]

Oh, is that how I have to do it

I cannot make different files in 1 on_ready statement?

[boreal ravine]

possible, or just ```py
bot.afk_db = ...
bot.level_db = ...

[boreal ravine]

you can

[frozen patio]

How can I do that then?

[boreal ravine]

you just did in your code..

[frozen patio]

Okay, then why doesn't 1 of them register?

Hmm

I need to make both connect, can I do that in the setattr line?

[slate swan]

How can my bot, count the messages of every server but if the command is used, it tells you how many messages were sent in that specific server? and not global? because currently it counts of every server and sends how many messages were sent in every server

[frozen patio]

Your bot is verified?

[slate swan]

yes

[frozen patio]

Good Job

[slate swan]

thanks

[frozen patio]

A dream of mine

[slate swan]

Yea it was my dream too till i realized they removed the bot developer badge

[frozen patio]

Damn, why?

[cloud dawn]

You'd need a database.

[slate swan]

Some people sold their account with that badge or their bots were in fake servers

[slate swan]

thanks

[sick birch]

Wouldn't that be pretty slow, counting all messages?

Using .history()

[frozen patio]

Can someone please help me combine these 2 so they can both register

[cyan hare]

need help with this\

[cloud dawn]

Can't see much

I can see a token tough

Might be worth resetting..

[cyan hare]

it reseted dont worry

wdym u dont see much

[olive osprey]

Looks like you're ratelimited, are you on replit?

[cyan hare]

if so i screenshot

[cyan hare]

yes i am

is there way to fix this

[olive osprey]

Alright, open the shell and type kill 1 then everything should work again.

[cyan hare]

okay should i reload it

right it here correct

[frozen patio]

It is not a token 😐

[cyan hare]

it saying the same thing

[olive osprey]

Well, i just saw that youre coding a nuker bot...

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[frozen patio]

We do not help with malicious bots

[cyan hare]

it a test nuke bot i not going use on any severs

[frozen patio]

Still

[final pumice]

repl.it makes me wanna die

[frozen patio]

Against ToS

[cyan hare]

okay but if rate things every happen again how do u fix it

[olive osprey]

Still, first of all its against the discord ToS no matter if you "only" use it in a test server, besides that rule 5 clearly states that it's disallowed requesting help for such stuff^^

[supple thorn]

nice

[frozen patio]

Repl is trash

[cyan hare]

okay get aside from the nuked you still have not answer my question

[olive osprey]

I won't.

[frozen patio]

Can anyone please help me with this?

[cyan hare]

If that code every shown again how do you fix it

[boreal ravine]

I already did..

[frozen patio]

No, because it does not work

[boreal ravine]

No, it's actually good in some cases

[boreal ravine]

How does it "not work"

[frozen patio]

If I have it right then why won't levels will not register

[boreal ravine]

I provided you with a solution...

[frozen patio]

1 of the databases does not register

[boreal ravine]

yes, like I said

the last setattr overwrites the old attribute

the solution is to just change the name of the attribute

[velvet compass]

Yeah this doesn't look like something we would help with

[frozen patio]

Ok

[cyan hare]

i swear no one answering my question

[boreal ravine]

or you could create all of the tables inside one file

[frozen patio]

read rule 5

Would that lag the db

[cloud dawn]

You are coding a spam bot. Doesn't matter if it is for testing or not.

[boreal ravine]

no

3 tables inside one file is fine

[frozen patio]

I will have like 15 tables when I am done

[final pumice]

wait, does the Client class have a db attribute?

[slate swan]

nice nuke bot code lol

[boreal ravine]

nuke bots aren't nice..

[slate swan]

[boreal ravine]

well

the file would be big, if you wanna create different files for each table go ahead, just make sure you name the "db" something else

[frozen patio]

Would it still work if I did it that way?

[boreal ravine]

yeah

[frozen patio]

Well the different databases did not work

So ig I will combine them

[final pumice]

Jonathan, does it?

[frozen patio]

Yes

[final pumice]

someone send me the docs

link to it pls

[boreal ravine]

discord.py docs?

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[final pumice]

Yes, tahnks

thanks*

[final pumice]

i don't see a Client attribute named db

where is it

[slate swan]

why would there be a db attr?

[final pumice]

Jonathan said where was one

[boreal ravine]

it's a custom attribute he set

[final pumice]

there*

[slate swan]

!bot-vars

[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!

[final pumice]

oh mb then

[slate swan]

it probably was a bot var

[frozen patio]

Yeah

I combined the databases

worked like a charm

@boreal ravine Thank you so much.

[cloud dawn]

I also have a db var but it's not a bot var

[frozen patio]

I made my own cause yes

[cloud dawn]

😏

[frozen patio]

😏

[slate swan]

[quaint epoch]

😏

[paper sluice]

Intensifies

[slate swan]

i made a whole db client

[vocal laurel]

anyone here know hot to make a warning command witch includes warn, warnings and unwarn?

[solar seal]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[maiden fable]

Code

[solar seal]

1 sec

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/adiludazat

[solar seal]

there you go

@maiden fable did you just go offline?

bruh

why even offer to help

[maiden fable]

U didn't typehint ctx to anything

[solar seal]

wdym?

[umbral night]

how would i make all pinned messages in a server go to a specific channel

is there something like

async def on_pin

or something

that i could use

[solar seal]

no

[solar seal]

if you look through this it shows all the api stuff https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#client

[maiden fable]

What's the type of arg do u want ctx to be?

[maiden fable]

Also, we ain't liable to help you (:

[solar seal]

i want to give people a role called muted

[maiden fable]

Then why do u have ctx

Remove ctx

[solar seal]

thats not the problem its when people say they are gonna help and disappear

its just rude

[maiden fable]

Bruh, we also have irl stuff to do. No one can be online on discord all the time

[solar seal]

i didn't expect that but if people just go off in the middle of helping someone without saying a word it wastes peoples time

there is a difference between expecting common courtesy of not misleading people into thinking that they are getting help and having to stay on all the time

[solar seal]

i don't know how to pass it through thats why i asked

[maiden fable]

^^^

[solar seal]

and then what?

[maiden fable]

Nothing

Wait

[solar seal]

and that doesn't work at all

[maiden fable]

Paste yr code here directly
Not the link

[solar seal]

ok

@client.tree.command(name="muted", description="mutes member")
@sec()
async def smute(inter: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
Muted = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name='Muted')
await member.add_roles(Muted)

[maiden fable]

Yea

inter.guild.roles

[solar seal]

nope

[maiden fable]

...

!d discord.Interaction.guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.guild

property guild```
The guild the interaction was sent from.

[solar seal]

yeah that doesn't show it at all

[maiden fable]

Eh wym

[solar seal]

i mean the section you linked doesn't reference the interactions with guilds to roles

[maiden fable]

Bro, u gotta do discord.utils.get(inter.guild.roles, name="Muted")

[solar seal]

that doesn't work

i literally already have that

[maiden fable]

Show

[solar seal]

@client.tree.command(name="muted", description="mutes member")
@sec()
async def smute(inter: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
Muted = discord.utils.get(inter.guild.roles, name='Muted')
await member.add_roles(Muted)

[maiden fable]

That means there's no role with the name Muted

[solar seal]

no it doesn't

it throws up errors

[slate swan]

I had this code running and I don't really understand the error on this, can someone tell me?

[maiden fable]

How the heck do u expect the bot to get the role if it doesn't exist? 😐

[maiden fable]

You have a blocking function

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor

[solar seal]

bruh thats not the problem i just told you that

[maiden fable]

@solar seal tell me... Do u have a role named Muted?

[solar seal]

yes

[maiden fable]

In that very guild?

[solar seal]

obviously

[maiden fable]

Then what's the error u r getting

[solar seal]

i am telling you it throws up errors in the code

[maiden fable]

I mean, share the error then bruh

[solar seal]

Argument of type "Role | None" cannot be assigned to parameter "roles" of type "Snowflake" in function "add_roles"
Type "Role | None" cannot be assigned to type "Snowflake"
"id" is not present

[maiden fable]

U can ignore that

Just a type error

Can u print Muted?

[solar seal]

ok thats just stupid that it shows an error but is fine

thx for the help

[spice adder]

Is there a way to replace characters in a string from a regex with blank spaces?

[maiden fable]

That's just telling u that if Muted is None, it would not work

[solar seal]

ah

[umbral night]

invisible unicode

[maiden fable]

!d str.strip ig?

[spice adder]

I mean how would you go about replacing it

[unkempt canyon]

str.strip

str.strip([chars])```
Return a copy of the string with the leading and trailing characters removed. The *chars* argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be removed. If omitted or `None`, the *chars* argument defaults to removing whitespace. The *chars* argument is not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are stripped:

```py
>>> '   spacious   '.strip()
'spacious'
>>> 'www.example.com'.strip('cmowz.')
'example'
```  The outermost leading and trailing *chars* argument values are stripped from the string. Characters are removed from the leading end until reaching a string character that is not contained in the set of characters in *chars*. A similar action takes place on the trailing end. For example:

[maiden fable]

This removes the spaces

[spice adder]

Does it work with regex?

[maiden fable]

Wym by that?

[slate swan]

it works with any kind of string

[spice adder]

So essentially, the bot we use to ban adds the user-username to the audit log reason for some reason

So I'm wanting to replace anything in the reason matching the regex (?i)(.*#\d{4}): with ""

[umbral night]

how could i make all pinned messages get sent to a certain channel

all pinned messages in every channel*

[spice adder]

I.e. it would replace abcd#1234: with ""

[silver wolf]

that sounds like something re.sub(...) would do i think

[spice adder]

[solar seal]

is there a way to remove the error at all?

[silver wolf]

remove the error from the IDE itself?

[maiden fable]

Just add an if statement

if Muted is not None:
. . .

[solar seal]

fair

[silver wolf]

that or type ignore (if thats what ur talking about)

[maiden fable]

Eh, I would advice against type ignores

[slate swan]

yo

[spice adder]

Cut-down code: ```py
banreason = await guild.fetch_ban(user)
newreason = re.sub('(?i)(.*#\d{4}):', ' ', (str banreason.reason))
[...]
banembed.add_field(name="📄 Reason:", value=f"{newreason}", inline=True)

import re when?

[paper sluice]

(str banreason.reason)

[spice adder]

Have that

[slate swan]

yea that too

[slate swan]

well your error says you dont

[spice adder]

Added after it no worky

Hmm

I am way to tired, I pressed ctrl+z too much at some point and got rid of import redawoqLKM{oaw;kdjonbb

Anyone there

[supple thorn]

I am

[rotund leaf]

Me

[keen talon]

[slate swan]

what did i do? i only added one command

[maiden fable]

U have a command named bot

[feral lichen]

you cant have a command named a function unless use use an alias im quite sure

[maiden fable]

Wym

The default name of a command is the name of the function

[slate swan]

Thanks

[feral lichen]

my bad, like this ```py
bot.command(aliases = ['8ball'])

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

Ah those are command aliases

[feral lichen]

wrong person pinged lmao 💀

[oblique adder]

how to get all members id from a guild ?

[slate swan]

list = []
for members in ctx.guild.members:
    list.append(members.id)

@oblique adder

[oblique adder]

thank you

[slate swan]

a list comprehension is faster

( m.id for m in Guild.members)

[paper sluice]

[*map(lambda x: x.id, ctx.guild.members)]

meh this is longer, sad

[slate swan]

but even more faster

;-;

[paper sluice]

[solar seal]

anyone know how to make a clear command for slash commands on discord.py?

[paper sluice]

what do you want to clear?

[solar seal]

messages

like /clear num

i just don't understand how to input the integer for it

[paper sluice]

just int(str)

[solar seal]

that doesn't work

[paper sluice]

whats wrong?

[solar seal]

let me send the trash i have

[slate swan]

show code

[solar seal]

@client.tree.command(name="clear", description="clears messages")
@sec()
async def sclear(inter: discord.Interaction):
await inter.channel.purge(limit=)

[slate swan]

h

wtf

[paper sluice]

await inter.channel.purge(limit=) just why

[solar seal]

wdym?

[paper sluice]

just take the limit sclear(inter: discord.Interaction): here

then convert to int

[solar seal]

i would have done that if i knew how

literally i can do everything fine except anything to do with slash commands

[paper sluice]

async def sclear(inter: discord.Interaction, limit):
    limit = int(limit)
    ...

[solar seal]

well actually i am getting better but still

how do i annotate limit?

[paper sluice]

limit: int, it doesn't really do anything if u expecting it to

its just for the reader to know that it limit should be int

[solar seal]

its just saying i have to

[paper sluice]

who its?

[solar seal]

the error

yeah it still doesn't give me a place to input a number

[paper sluice]

you need to sync the tree to update slash commands

[solar seal]

1 sec

ok it updated

thx

i put 1 and it deleted way more than 1

[cold sonnet]

why don't you typehint to int

@paper sluice

[paper sluice]

u should, i was just telling that that wont convert it to an int.

[cold sonnet]

it does though

and it has an effect on slash commands

[paper sluice]

what?

[cold sonnet]

if it can't convert to int, it raises an error

else, limit's gonna be an int

[paper sluice]

i didnt know that, cool

[obsidian ledge]

why do i keep getting

raise HTTPException(r, data)

[sullen pewter]

How to make the bot use slash commands without entering guild id

[placid skiff]

it will be able to but slash commands requires up to 1 hour before they being registered globally

[sullen pewter]

Wdym

Will it take 1 hour once

Or every time it joins a server

[placid skiff]

that before they would be available globally it will take up to 1 hour

[sullen pewter]

How to do it

[slate swan]

ok

I think the problem describes itself but how can i fix it?

[sullen pewter]

But how does dank memer bot do it without taking 1 hour

[placid skiff]

use f strings

[placid skiff]

it takes UP to 1 hour

that doesn't mean that everytime it takes 1 hour

it can take like 5 minutes or it can take 1 hour

[sullen pewter]

value=f"BLAH BLAH BLAH {client.name}"

[sullen pewter]

Ok

[paper sluice]

it should be "{} .. {}".format(arg1, arg2), but use fstrings in this case

how to make python add 50 cash to userid, user 5? by finding and replacing the value in txt file? sorry im new to this , pls help me thxs :/

[placid skiff]

json is used to represents javascript object in text files, not as storage method

[slate swan]

then how do i make it for a currency system?

for my discord bot*

[inland beacon]

how to self bot in cog?

[slate swan]

"/

?

what can i use for storing user data?

[inland beacon]

A database.

[slate swan]

how?

[inland beacon]

MongoDB, Deta, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MariaDB, SQLite3

[inland beacon]

by.. using it?

[slate swan]

oh

What did you mean by self bot here

[slate swan]

uh

[keen talon]

😆 😆 😆

[slate swan]

self.bot

self.bot = bot

[placid skiff]

when you load json object in python you'll get a dict of the data inside

{
  "name":"bob"
  "languages":["English", "French"]
}

import json
with open('path_to_file/your.json', 'r') as f:
  data = json.load(f)

print(data)

Output: {'name': 'bob', 'languages': ['English', 'French']}

[keen talon]

self.bot= bot

[inland beacon]

thank you guys

[keen talon]

[slate swan]

:nice:

[supple thorn]

That is an instance variable

[slate swan]

ok

[placid skiff]

before getting into d.py you need to know python and OOP concepts

[keen talon]

That is why you should understand the context first 🤣

[supple thorn]

He was vague

It was either about instance variables or literal self botting

[slate swan]

ok

lol i've discovered that the VPN of the client which i'm workin for blocks my website

[slate swan]

`import sqlite3 as lite

if user id 12031909 is in table change the specific user cash by +1. how to do this?

how?

[paper sluice]

just get an IDE which does that for you 😉

[placid skiff]

first you get the value you want then you do your things and add it again

[dull terrace]

try and SELECT WEHRE ID = ?

and fetchone

[umbral night]

@placid skiff?

[placid skiff]

can't tell you how i made custom method for my sql

[dull terrace]

if it returns none then do your operation

[slate swan]

any sample code?

[placid skiff]

writing?..

[placid skiff]

search online there are plenty

i'm trying to make my bot send buttons but it says ImportError: cannot import name 'InteractionType' from 'discord_components

[slate swan]

cur.execute("SELECT FROM user_data WHERE id = 12031909", (id,)) butt = cur.fetchone()

is it like this?

[dull terrace]

if you're not using ? placeholders you don't need the tuple telling it the number to use for id in your table

[placid skiff]

client has no method tree btw

[slate swan]

i dont understand, let me do some research.

[sullen pewter]

@client.tree.command()```

[sullen pewter]

?

But then I won't be able to sync

[vast gale]

look at their screenshot lol

[dull terrace]

BlvckTvrsier.tree

[vast gale]

have you ever used vscode? @placid skiff

tldr tree exists on their client

and sync exists as well

[placid skiff]

Bruh

[vast gale]

an attribute is white if the type checker doesn't know what it is in vscode

they've probably subclassed client and added tree to it

[placid skiff]

lol i'm not really sure about it, show your client instance @sullen pewter

how to set a cooldown for message.content.lower?
2 second response cooldown for each user of the bot?

[dull terrace]

[placid skiff]

CliEnT = commands.BoT lol

[slate swan]

ik this question is stupid, but i want to set cooldown*

[dull terrace]

you understand message.content.lower just turns everything lowercase right

[placid skiff]

Did you subclass bot?

[sullen pewter]

?

[placid skiff]

doubt it too you are using commands.Bot

so i'm right, there is no method client.tree in your code

[dull terrace]

might be inbuilt way depending on the library you're using

[sullen pewter]

Wdym

[slate swan]

someone pls tell me how to set cooldown for that? ik it turns everything lowercase

[sullen pewter]

A variable or a command

[placid skiff]

the only way there is a client.tree is because you wrote client.tree = something in your code

[sullen pewter]

Wdym by method

[placid skiff]

omg

[sullen pewter]

No

[placid skiff]

i'm out

[sullen pewter]

I have this and it works fine

[dull terrace]

there's no one way to do that

[sullen pewter]

If I have one server id

[sullen pewter]

I didn't I am using dpy 2.0

[slate swan]

then how im i supposed to do a cooldown? plss teach me, sryyy im new

[dull terrace]

I would heavily suggest that you go through some python tutorials online or something @slate swan or you're going to struggle

[placid skiff]

before getting to dpy you should know python and OOP concepts

[slate swan]

i would love to learn
