stack overflow, the ultimate teacher

[slate swan]

VOUCH

all you need is basic py understanding

[placid skiff]

i studied C and learned Java before moving to python so it was like a walk into the park

[slate swan]

Would be lmao

[sullen pewter]

Ok ima learn it

[dull terrace]

i didn't really have py understanding at all when i started, but i had messed around with lua scripting and other stuff in the past

just need to know basic coding concepts

[slate swan]

okie, thxs

How do I make it so if any message in certain channel it reacts

[dull terrace]

async def on_message(message):

[sullen pewter]

Ima dm you tutorial

[dull terrace]

?

[sullen pewter]

Nvm

[cold sonnet]

if message.channel.id == some random number:

[dull terrace]

why

[sullen pewter]

Cuz I thought you didn't say when I started

[slate swan]

Nvm found it

[sullen pewter]

My bad

[dull terrace]

only been coding in python for like 6 months

[slate swan]

Is it possible to count every message in a channel

[sullen pewter]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/755586291520766014.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[slate swan]

Maybe like int(messages)

[sullen pewter]

Should be

[vocal plover]

only by fetching every single message

[slate swan]

I just want integer

[vocal plover]

which is very very slow for large channels and bordering on api abuse

[dull terrace]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52214425/how-to-get-how-many-messages-has-been-sent-in-a-channel

[slate swan]

LOL I AM ON THAT

How can i let my bot say the RGB of the given HEX color? Is there an API for this?

[slate swan]

I kinda need bot event though since it’s gonna be like “there is 4 messages in this channel”

[grave summit]

how can i add it so that only people with certain roles can use my bot

[vocal plover]

There is no other way you can get the message count with a bot

[pliant ether]

Hi, do you know how to detect the connection of a member on my server to react to his connection? (not on_member_join which reacts to the 1st connection / registration on the server) Thank you

[supple thorn]

So you want your bot to detect when a member is viewing the guild?

Like is in the guild

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_role('RoleName')
async def command_name():```

[pliant ether]

I want the bot to react as soon as a member logs in

[slate swan]

But a bot can only react once per message

[pliant ether]

or as soon as he joins one of the channels for example

[slate swan]

`if message.content.lower() == '>register':
con = lite.connect('user_data.db')

        with con:
            cur = con.cursor()

            cur.execute("CREATE TABLE user_data(UserID INT, Cash INT)")
            cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(message.author.id,0)") `

[supple thorn]

A bot can't do that

[slate swan]

i dont get what im doing wrong here

[supple thorn]

The bot can't know if a member is looking at a channel

[slate swan]

Yes a bot is like a normal discord user

So it can’t see if someone is on a Channel

[pliant ether]

But the bot can react to a message so it could react to a connection?

[supple thorn]

He'd have to add that to every command and every new command

[supple thorn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check_once

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check\_once

@check_once```
A decorator that adds a “call once” global check to the bot.

Unlike regular global checks, this one is called only once per [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") call.

Regular global checks are called whenever a command is called or [`Command.can_run()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.can_run "discord.ext.commands.Command.can_run") is called. This type of check bypasses that and ensures that it’s called only once, even inside the default help command.

Note

When using this function the [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") sent to a group subcommand may only parse the parent command and not the subcommands due to it being invoked once per [`Bot.invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") call...

[supple thorn]

You could use this check

Just check if they have one of the roles you want

Return true if they do else return false

[slate swan]

whats the code for getting user id?

[slate swan]

Can someone answer me? Please?

[slate swan]

Yes

[slate swan]

Do u know where to find that API?

[slate swan]

Gimme a sec

`with con:
cur = con.cursor()

            #cur.execute("CREATE TABLE user_data(UserID INT, Cash INT)")
            cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(user_object.id

,0)")`

like this? @slate swan

[slate swan]

"https://api.popcat.xyz/color/{hex_color}"

[umbral night]

can somebody help me?
how would i give somebody a role using the role id

[jade jolt]

role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=123456789)
await member.add_roles(role)

replace guild with your guild object

[supple thorn]

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

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

discord.User.id

The user’s unique ID.

[umbral night]

ty

[umbral night]

ty

[slate swan]

so how do i get the id of a user? and print it out?

[supple thorn]

Isn't get_role faster than that since it doesn't loop through all of the roles

Or do they both loop through all of the guild roles

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, /, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.utils.find "discord.utils.find").

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

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

Changed in version 2.0: The `iterable` parameter supports [asynchronous iterable](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterable "(in Python v3.10)")s...

[slate swan]

cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(message.author.id,0)")

is this going to work or not? if not how to fix?

[dull terrace]

no

[slate swan]

how to fix it then?

[dull terrace]

use placeholders

[slate swan]

pls show me how to do it

[dull terrace]

cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(?, ?)", (message.author.id,0))

you were close

[slate swan]

will this make new line, every new user registered?

[dull terrace]

oh wait

is it just those two, im spacing on if that's right

[slate swan]

cuz i want the values different not overlay

[dull terrace]

it might be VALUES(your_row_name = ?, etc = ?)

[slate swan]

no.. i want it to write it in the next row, not specify row name, cuz this is for currency bot*

[dull terrace]

yeah it will, if you only want them to be added to the table once you can use the UNIQUE thing when you make the table

[dull terrace]

i mean column

[dull terrace]

example from my code, it's this: "INSERT INTO objects(id, x, y, name, draw) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"

[slate swan]

cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(UserNum, UserID, Cash)", (1,message.author.id,0))

i want this usernum to increase by 1 each time, someone runs command
and also go to next line

[dull terrace]

cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data(UserNum, UserID, Cash) VALUES(?, ?, ?)", (1,message.author.id,0))

[slate swan]

explain this pls

[sullen pewter]

How can I fix this error

[dull terrace]

the ? is just a placeholder, you could put the values there but then you can't use variables, if you used an f string it would be insecure

[boreal ravine]

annotation is basically a typehint

[dull terrace]

each ? is replaced with the corresponding tuple value

[sullen pewter]

?

[slate swan]

then how i need to do this?
i want it to be seperate data for each user, so user num needs to be changed*

[dull terrace]

yeah... you need an id value so you can access it later

[slate swan]

how?

[dull terrace]

which you have there

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan just use an ORM if you don't know SQL well..

[dull terrace]

under UserID

[dull terrace]

that's not great advice when SQL is very widely used and needed

[sullen pewter]

what should I do

[slate swan]

no i want to use SQL

i still dont get what that values are

cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data(UserNum, UserID, Cash) VALUES(?, ?, ?)", (1,message.author.id,0))
this question mark part

[boreal ravine]

typehint reason

[sullen pewter]

wdym

[boreal ravine]

it's a placeholder

[dull terrace]

(?, ?, ?) is replaced with (1,message.author.id,0)

[boreal ravine]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html

[dull terrace]

then the values are used under each column (UserNum, UserID, Cash)

[slate swan]

cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data(UserNum, UserID, Cash) VALUES(1,message.author.id,0)", (1,message.author.id,0))

like this?

[dull terrace]

yes but you need the question marks so it does it for you...

otherwise it would use the string and the middle value would literally be "message.author.id"

[placid skiff]

what the hell is this

[sullen pewter]

SQL

[slate swan]

cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data(UserNum, UserID, Cash) VALUES(?, ?, ?)", (1,message.author.id,0))

so this code will make it add 1 to the usernum each time?
1st person register , usernum=1
2nd person register, usernum=2

[placid skiff]

i know but read it

[placid skiff]

this is the correct syntax for python

[dull terrace]

they're completely new to it, just trying to understand

[dull terrace]

oh you want autoincrement

[slate swan]

yeah, how to do it?

[dull terrace]

when you create UserNum UserNum INTEGER AUTOINCREMENT,

i think

[slate swan]

full code?

i dont understand where to put it

[dull terrace]

how are you creating your table rn?

[hasty stump]

can anyone assist me with custom prefix using mysql

[slate swan]

db file, sqlite3

[dull terrace]

yes but the code

i'll give you an example and you work it out...

c.execute(
    """CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS objects (
        object_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
        id INTEGER,
        x INTEGER,
        y INTEGER,
        name TEXT,
        draw INTEGER
    )""",
)```

[slate swan]

`if message.content.lower() == '>register':
con = lite.connect('user_data.db')

        with con:
            cur = con.cursor()

            cur.execute("CREATE TABLE user_data(UserNum, UserID TEXT, Cash INT)")
            print(message.author.id)
            message.author.id
            cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data (UserNum, UserID, Cash) VALUES(?, ?, ?)", (1,message.author.id,0))
            #cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(xx,0)")`

this is the code*

cur.execute("CREATE TABLE user_data(UserNum, UserID TEXT, Cash INT)"),UserNum INTEGER AUTOINCREMENT,

is it like this?

[dull terrace]

read my code more carefully...

[slate swan]

ok

i still dont get it :/

[dull terrace]

you need to look up some tutorials

[slate swan]

c.execute( """CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS objects ("CREATE TABLE user_data(UserNum, UserID TEXT, Cash INT)") UserNum INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, 1 INTEGER, message.author.id INTEGER, Cash INTEGER UserID TEXT, Cash INT )""", )

@dull terrace is it like this?

[placid skiff]

you can't create a table inside a table

[slate swan]

c.execute( """CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS objects ("(UserNum, UserID TEXT, Cash INT)") UserNum INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, 1 INTEGER, message.author.id INTEGER, Cash INTEGER UserID TEXT, Cash INT )""", )

[slate swan]

like this?

[placid skiff]

No

[slate swan]

how?

[placid skiff]

https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-create-table/

[slate swan]

i looked at these resources, i just cant understand :/

[placid skiff]

[slate swan]

how to do it then?

[placid skiff]

bro we gave you everything, you will not learn nothing if we spoonfeed you, if you can't understand you need to study more

[slate swan]

pls just teach me once, i will learn 😦

[halcyon bison]

hello, im getting back into python and i was wondering how i can make a discord status?
(like image below)

[placid skiff]

we did
you have the query you need to use and the method that you need to use, you need nothing more

[placid skiff]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.change_presence

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.change\_presence

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

Changes the client’s presence.

Example

```py
game = discord.Game("with the API")
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=game)
```   Changed in version 2.0: Removed the `afk` keyword-only parameter...

[slate swan]

oh :0

[halcyon bison]

awesome

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client"), This class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.Client too actually

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, intents, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

A number of options can be passed to the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[placid skiff]

Bot is a client subclass, it has more method than it so it is better

[cold sonnet]

activity and status attribute

[slate swan]

Is there anyway to get the transcripts (all the messages in a channel) from a discord channel in this format?

["Person#0000: Hello, this is a message", "AnotherPerson#0000: Hello, this is another message"]```

[cold sonnet]

for both

use them instead of unnecessary API calls

history

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

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

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

Examples

Usage...

[cold sonnet]

gets messages in a channel

for your strings, I suppose
f"{message.author}: {message.content}"

[austere gust]

I would like to make that if the white_check_mark is pressed on the message, the mentioned member will get the mentioned role.
(discord.py)
Here is an example:
If I press the white_check_mark @Mylan will get the @Staff role

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.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**...

[cold sonnet]

there are examples on the docs

[austere gust]

Thank so much !!! You are so helpful!
But I have problems with the coding part too

And the attached picture is only an example

I want it to work with all roles and all members

[cold sonnet]

what does your code look like?

[slate swan]

Tried that...

There's no easy way to get the username and content of the messages

you have to manually split it

[cold sonnet]

you have the message object though

message.author is a member object which you can convert to str

[slate swan]

in order to get the message id object you have to do this complicated code:

msg = await channel.fetch_message(int(str(messages[i]).split("=")[1].split(" channel")[0]))```

[cold sonnet]

messages = [] 
async for message in channel.history(limit = 20):
    messages.append(f"{message.author}: {message.content}")
```have you tried something like this?

[slate swan]

No because I need my code under a on_raw_reaction_add function.

[cold sonnet]

so what's stopping you?

[slate swan]

Oh, I see.

[slate swan]

Denialism.

[cold sonnet]

[slate swan]

I'm gonna try.

It has fortunately worked.

[cold sonnet]

yay

[dull terrace]

Someone motivate me

[lofty pecan]

hi there, I made a vote command for my bot, and I have a rank command that gives me the leaderboard of my server. The thing is, it's extremely slow and I suspect the for loop to be the reason (or maybe the library table2ascii is very slow), so here is my code, would there be a way to improve it ? ```python
@commands.command()
async def rank(self, ctx):
""" Gives the first 10 most liked OCs """
id = ctx.guild.id
cursor = self.db.cursor()
cursor.execute('SELECT artist_id, oc_name, oc_rank FROM main WHERE guild_id = ? ORDER BY oc_rank DESC LIMIT 10',(id,))
result = cursor.fetchall()
cursor.close()

    Rank = 1
    body = []
    for e in result:
        body.append([Rank, e[1], await self.bot.fetch_user(e[0]), e[2]])
        Rank += 1

    output = t2a(
        header=['Rank', 'Name', 'Artist', 'Vote'],
        body=body,
        first_col_heading=True        
    )
    
    embed = discord.Embed(title=f"List of 10 most popular characters", description=f'``\n{output}\n``' ,colour=discord.Colour(0xfff700))
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

i need someone like brad that supports me😔

connecting to the gateway isnt easy😔

[lofty pecan]

considering I'm making a bot for my gf it's a cool motivation

what should I name a discord API wrapper?

[dull terrace]

Get to work or else

[slate swan]

but😔

[paper sluice]

thats motivation

[slate swan]

Bobbicord

[boreal ravine]

it is easy

[dull terrace]

I've done that before, so much better when you're making it for someone else

[slate swan]

making a good impl, no

[boreal ravine]

just send heartbeats, then send hello, then send identify easy

[lofty pecan]

it does this btw

[lofty pecan]

[slate swan]

its easy but having a good implementation of it is a bit hard

[velvet compass]

Dotenv is to load environment variables, I generally use it like this: https://github.com/brad90four/weather_cli/blob/main/weather.py#L12-L18

weather.py lines 12 to 18

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from loguru import logger

I also have a lot of lines, but it's in cogs, it's so much better, I was really annoyed by cogs, I thought it was hard, then I tried and damn actually it"s really straight forward

[slate swan]

monkey

[cold sonnet]

no work

[lofty pecan]

and then I was json, instead of SQL, got annoyed by SQL some years ago basically, then I decided to try and damn it's so much better

long second

[slate swan]

@dull terrace is this correct now?

it's a coroutine

also ! it's fetch

await bot.fetch_user(id)

and self.bot if you're inside a class in a cog of course

[umbral night]

is timeout_members not a permission

? what do i use instead

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_user

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

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

[cold sonnet]

🥳

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions.moderate\_members

Returns True if a user can time out other members.

New in version 2.0.

[umbral night]

doesnt work

[cold sonnet]

what did you try

what's the error

what's your code, how did you invoke it

where does it stop

[umbral night]

@commands.has_permissions(moderate_members = True)

that's what i used

but it does not work.

[cold sonnet]

why

what do you expect

what happened

what permissions do you have

[umbral night]

owner

[cold sonnet]

that's good

[brazen raft]

You can't do anything to owners by the way

[umbral night]

i know.

[cold sonnet]

do you have an error

[umbral night]

yes

[cold sonnet]

that's good

[umbral night]

[supple thorn]

moderate_members is only in the 2.0 version right

[umbral night]

yeah

[cold sonnet]

right

[supple thorn]

Yeah

[cold sonnet]

yes

[supple thorn]

Upgrade to 2.0 or do manage_roles

[frozen patio]

Isn’t it ctx.reply()

Ah

I use nextcord 😅

[olive osprey]

Try to input it into a variable & edit it.

msg = await ctx.respond("hi")
await msg.edit("hello")

Maybe this works, atleast in discord.py it does

[boreal ravine]

did you ask in the pycord server?

[olive osprey]

Try one of those:

InteractionResponse.edit_message

interaction.response.edit_message

[slate swan]

`if message.content.lower() == '>register':

[little ivy]

why do i get this error?

[slate swan]

message.author.id does not work in SQL value, how do i fix this??

[cloud dawn]

You showed half an error + your token

[little ivy]

Token is resetted already

[surreal ruin]

python bot.py

Anyone

To fix it

?

[velvet compass]

The {} are empty, usually you have a variable in them

[surreal ruin]

Now this

This error

[cloud dawn]

You need to enable intents read the middle.

[velvet compass]

You are importing uvloop but do not have it installed

[surreal ruin]

How to install it

[surreal ruin]

?

[velvet compass]

Usually with pip

Like a normal python package from pypi

[surreal ruin]

pip install --loop

[surreal ruin]

@velvet compass

[velvet compass]

Is --loop the same as uvloop?

[surreal ruin]

Ops

pip install --uvloop

[velvet compass]

The format I usually use to install is py -m pip install <whatever package>. But from your screenshot it looks like you are on mobile, and I have never used python on mobile before so can't speak to the differences

[brazen raft]

It's replit

They have a package manager tab

[slate swan]

umm guys

[brazen raft]

You can just search for packages and install them, although I think they have to be on PyPi

[slate swan]

Im new to python how do you make a bot that can only be used in one channel in a server?

[velvet compass]

Ahhh I see. Given how popular it is I should probably learn about it lol

[slate swan]

Like u can only used it a one channel

[brazen raft]

My, good luck, I guess

[cloud dawn]

It's pretty much a wrapped pip

[surreal ruin]

@velvet compass

[surreal ruin]

Oh

[brazen raft]

At least, I think this is replit

Maybe I'm blind

Nope it says right there in the URL bar

[velvet compass]

Try pip install uvloop

[surreal ruin]

Thanks

Now this

@velvet compass see

[velvet compass]

Yeah it looks like you haven't installed a few dependencies

[surreal ruin]

Should i try pip install aioredis

[velvet compass]

So you will need to pip install them. Usually projects have a requirements.txt or use a package manager

[velvet compass]

Yup

[boreal ravine]

if you're using a fork of a bot and it has a requirements.txt file do pip install -r requirements.txt to install all the required packages

[surreal ruin]

oo

[austere gust]

When I get home, I will show

[velvet compass]

A 403 error is usually due to authentication failing, or wrong permissions

[jade tartan]

So?

Do i need to give this command a manage permission?

[cloud dawn]

No this means the bot has no permission not the user.

[surreal ruin]

I use fork

[boreal ravine]

"if it has a requirements.txt file"

[surreal ruin]

Oh

[jade tartan]

Ohh ok so i need to give it all permission on discord server?

[slate swan]

INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(message.author.id,0)

error when use cmd:
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: message.author.id

**how to fix this? pls help me tysm **

[cloud dawn]

You need to pass it as value you can't just paste in the variable like that.

[slate swan]

how to pass it as value?

[surreal ruin]

How to get that

[cloud dawn]

...(INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(?, 0), (message.author.id,))

[slate swan]

thxs a lot

[jade tartan]

??

[slate swan]

its still error

[loud junco]

how do i make an error handling for keyerror

can i used on_command_error?

[velvet compass]

A KeyError coming from a dictionary or something?

[loud junco]

or i need to use try

[loud junco]

variable not existing in database

[velvet compass]

I would suggest a try / except block, and if it is not critical, just log the error and the key that wasn't found

[slate swan]

can someone pls help me with this?? :/

[loud junco]

its a must lol cuz its a rpg bot

[velvet compass]

Check out pandabweer's answer

[velvet compass]

.

[loud junco]

if not the player wont get any output
and they wont know what is happening

[slate swan]

it didnt work

[loud junco]

so i cant use on_command_error for that?

[velvet compass]

Is it a command error?

[cloud dawn]

Could you show what you have done?

[loud junco]

just key error

i dont have error sample now

[slate swan]

` if message.content.lower() == '>register':
con = lite.connect('user_data.db')

        with con:
            cur = con.cursor()
            cur.executescript("""
                DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user_data;
                CREATE TABLE user_data(UserID TEXT, Cash INT);
                INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(?, 0), (message.author.id,)
                """)`

[velvet compass]

Then I would use a try / except block for it, unless on_command_error does what you want (can always try both and see what you prefer)

[loud junco]

okok

[slate swan]

what have i done wrongly here? @cloud dawn

[placid skiff]

use a message event as a command first of all

[cloud dawn]

You put the entire execute inside the string even the format

And with con:?

[slate swan]

yeah

[loud junco]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
  if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
    seccd = round(error.cooldown.get_retry_after())
    mincd = 0
    hrcd = 0
    rseccd = 0
    rmincd = 0

    if seccd > 59:  
      rseccd = int(seccd % 60)
      mincd = int((seccd - rseccd) / 60)

''')
  elif isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
    await ctx.send(f'**{ctx.author.name}**, this command doesnt exist, check your spellling maybe??')
  else:
    raise error
    
  try:
    pass
  except KeyError:
    await ctx.send(f'**{ctx.author.name}**, your account is either not created yet or is not in the latest version. Try `rpm start`')
```is this even legal

the try except part

[placid skiff]

tbh put a try except inside an error handler isn't the best

why would you even do that?

[loud junco]

cuz i need to define ctx and idk how to define it
if its not in a function

[placid skiff]

wdym?

[loud junco]

if i put it outside ctx will be undefined

try:
  pass
except KeyError:
  await ctx.send(f'**{ctx.author.name}**, your account is either not created yet or is not in the latest version. Try `rpm start`')

[slate swan]

        if message.content.lower() == '>register':
            con = lite.connect('user_data.db')

            with con:
                cur = con.cursor()
                cur.executescript("""
                    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user_data;
                    CREATE TABLE user_data(UserID TEXT, Cash INT);
                    INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(message.author.id,0)
                    """)```

[placid skiff]

You want to catch the KeyError?

[loud junco]

if its outside function its like this

[loud junco]

ye

[slate swan]

anyone can help me? with my code

[loud junco]

whats with this `

[placid skiff]

well it will not work here anyway because if you are tryin to catch it outside a command the on_command_error will not be triggered

[loud junco]

then i need to put it outside?

[slate swan]

i edited it now

[placid skiff]

the try except must be inside the function which could raise the keyerror

[loud junco]

every function may raise that

can i just put it at last

like here

[slate swan]

why catch a key error

just use dict.get?

[loud junco]

read the description of the error ;-;

[slate swan]

@placid skiff is it possible to use message.author.id in sql insert into?

[slate swan]

just check its return type or just change its return type?

[loud junco]

:/?

[placid skiff]

Uhm well the easiest way to do it is to add the try except in every function you need it

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/xuquxiyagi This doesn't right. Do you know how to fix it?

[loud junco]

gg

[placid skiff]

but if you want to try something a little bit harder

then there could be a way

[loud junco]

i rather do harder thing than repetitive work

[loud junco]

:D

[slate swan]

a server is generally referred to as a guild , so replace server with guild everywhere

hola blvck

[placid skiff]

well then, this is what you can do:
you'll have to create a class and make it a subclass of DiscordException, this way you will have a discord error which represents the key error

[loud junco]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-what-que-recalculando-loading-gif-19097337

[jade tartan]

I thought so too

[placid skiff]

in your function where there could be a keyerror, instead of catching the key error you will raise that class, like this:

class myError(DiscordException):
  ...

def my_function():
  if my_value not isinstance(my_object):
    raise myError()

when you've done this, you can catch your custom error with the on_error event

[vale wing]

I usually subclass commands.CommandError cause I have on_command_error for most of exceptions

[loud junco]

i just copy paste? cuz my brain is not functioning rn

[placid skiff]

he doesn't have it in commands

[placid skiff]

well no you have to adapt it to your code lol

[loud junco]

i create a new class call myError?

[slate swan]

do you have to call the class? cuz i forgor

[jade tartan]

Question

[vale wing]

Just create a new class inheriting some discord exception class, you may even leave it empty but I'd recommend initialising it with a message

[jade tartan]

I cant use object string in await function right?

[placid skiff]

the important thing is that the class is a subclass of DiscordException

[loud junco]

okok

[placid skiff]

Take note that i'm telling you all of this basing on my experience, i've never tried this so i don't know at 100% how it works xD

but it should work

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    await bot.send_message(member, f"reply to this message with key: ||{key}||")
    m = await bot.wait_for_message(author=member, channel=member)
    if m.content == key :
        await bot.add_roles(memberr, roll)
        await bot.send_message(member, 'Role added')
    else:
        await bot.send_message(member, 'Incorrect key')

Everything is defined but it won’t Dm member on join

[slate swan]

@placid skiff 😔 never?

[placid skiff]

sorry Ashley i was frying my brain, hello btw xD

[loud junco]

what is my_value and my_object

[vale wing]

Pretty outdated way to send messages

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/mukitihati

[vale wing]

Use member.send(...)

[jade tartan]

??

[vale wing]

And yeah you have a typo

[frozen elk]

I'm getting started with a discord bot and i see there are so many lib to choose from
Anyone who is familiar with it please enlighten me.

[slate swan]

Fair

[vale wing]

memberr

Eh hold up

[loud junco]

discord.py KEKW

[placid skiff]

if you raise KeyError i assume that you would try to access a value which doesn't exists

[slate swan]

I defined it don’t worry

[vale wing]

Why the hell do you call all the methods on bot

[swift crane]

how to make avatar slash command?

[loud junco]

erm

[slate swan]

await Member.send()

await Bot.wait_for("message", check=custom_check, timeout=100)

[loud junco]

actually i have no idea what this does

[frozen elk]

Sorry isn't that dead or abandoned

[loud junco]

can u guide me ;-;

[placid skiff]

you don't know what KeyError does?

[loud junco]

who told u =.=

[swift crane]

@bot.command()
async def avatar(ctx, *,  avamember : discord.Member=None):
    username_1 = ctx.message.author.name
    avatar_1 = ctx.message.author.avatar_url
    userAvatarUrl = avamember.avatar_url
    embed=discord.Embed(title="Avatar")
    embed.set_author(name=f"requested by {username_1}", icon_url=avatar_1)
    embed.set_image(url=userAvatarUrl)
    await ctx.message.delete()
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

this on normal version

[jade tartan]

Can someone help

[loud junco]

ik i mean the code u gave me

[vale wing]

!d discord.abc.User.avatar you can get avatar data from here, there are several attributes

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.User.avatar

property avatar```
Returns an Asset that represents the user’s avatar, if present.

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/mukitihati

[frozen elk]

I read on git that the author had left the project

[placid skiff]

well just substitute everything with the variables you have

it was an example i don't know your code

[slate swan]

        `if message.content.lower() == '>register':
            con = lite.connect('user_data.db')

            with con:
                cur = con.cursor()
                cur.executescript("""
                    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user_data;
                    CREATE TABLE user_data(UserID TEXT, Cash INT);
                    INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(message.author.id,0)
                    """)```

anyone can help with the message.author.id part? it doesnt work :/

[loud junco]

there is tons of variable
like 50+

[slate swan]

• Create an embed (since that looks uwu)
• grab the member's/author's avatar using the avatar.url (dpy2) [avatar_url for older versions] on the Member/User object
• use the set_image method on the embed object
• send it

[placid skiff]

give me a part of your code where it could raise a KeyError

[slate swan]

Why not bot.send

[vale wing]

More like #databases question and this is not how you use injections

[loud junco]

okok

[vale wing]

And this is not how you make commands

[swift crane]

i know this part but it does not works on "/"

[heavy tangle]

how do i get the channel id of where the command was executed?

[loud junco]

item.cooked_pogchop may be the key error

[vale wing]

Use a decorator

[slate swan]

Author.id should work on its own

[loud junco]

class Item():  
  def __init__(self, ctx):  
    self.userid = str(ctx.author.id)
    self.pogchop = db[self.userid + 'pogchop']
    self.cooked_pogchop =  db[self.userid + 'cooked_pogchop']
    self.beef =  db[self.userid + 'beef']
```this is small part of item

[slate swan]

then how to use it? teach me pls

[vale wing]

ctx.channel.id```

Same for interactions

[heavy tangle]

oh....

[loud junco]

@bot.command(name='daily')
@commands.cooldown(1, 86400, commands.BucketType.user)
async def daily(ctx):
  item = Item(ctx)
  stats = Stats(ctx)
  db[stats.userid + 'cooked_pogchop'] = item.cooked_pogchop + 10
  db[stats.userid + 'steak'] = item.steak + 10
  await ctx.send(f'**{ctx.author.name}** has claimed daily kit')
```here u go
`item.cooked_pogchop` may be the key error

[slate swan]

LOL

[placid skiff]

what is item.cooked_pogchop lol

[loud junco]

class Item():  
  def __init__(self, ctx):  
    self.userid = str(ctx.author.id)
    self.pogchop = db[self.userid + 'pogchop']
    self.cooked_pogchop =  db[self.userid + 'cooked_pogchop']
    self.beef =  db[self.userid + 'beef']

[jade tartan]

Hello

[slate swan]

that wont work, it must be message.author.id
to see who send the msg

[vale wing]

Shortly

con.execute("INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (?, ?)", (123, "nice name"))```
Assuming you are using sqlite

[loud junco]

this is a small part of item

[vale wing]

You basically put ? into the query and provide a tuple of args as another arg to execute

[slate swan]

Kk

[slate swan]

can u explain this?

[placid skiff]

but wait that code is a command

technically you can catch it in on_command_error

[vale wing]

Well lemme find it in docs

[slate swan]

its basically the same thing, everything else works, just the variable that does not work

[slate swan]

.

[loud junco]

🤦‍♂️

POGGERS

[placid skiff]

[loud junco]

im deleting that damn file

[placid skiff]

F

[loud junco]

so how do i put it inside

try:
  pass
except KeyError:
  await ctx.send(f'**{ctx.author.name}**, your account is either not created yet or is not in the latest version. Try `rpm start`')
```i still have this

[placid skiff]

Just like the others

if isinstance(error, KeyError):
  ...

[slate swan]

@vale wing

[loud junco]

okok
thanksssssss

[vale wing]

@slate swan so basically this query INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (?, ?) with args (123, "nice name") turns into INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (123, 'nice name') idk how to explain this simplier

The question marks are correspondingly replaced with args

From your code I could only see that as an issue

[slate swan]

but then the other parts will have error

[vale wing]

What parts

[slate swan]

can u pls help rewrite the code for me?

so that i can understand it better*

as i said only the variable part is the issue which errors

[vale wing]

I would make a whole different and more complicated system because I never do sql interactions with raw queries in each command

OOP is just op

[slate swan]

cursor.execute 😔 con is generally used for connection

[vale wing]

Sry haven't used sqlite for a while

[slate swan]

        `if message.content.lower() == '>register':
            con = lite.connect('user_data.db')

            with con:
                cur = con.cursor()
                cur.executescript("""
                    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user_data;
                    CREATE TABLE user_data(UserID TEXT, Cash INT);
                    INSERT INTO user_data VALUES(message.author.id,0)
                    """)```

this my code*

[vale wing]

There are 2 very big issues

First is for god's sake do commands using a decorator

[slate swan]

and?

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command

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

[vale wing]

Non cog implementation

[slate swan]

second one?

[vale wing]

Second is completely nonsense queries

You usually create tables on initialization

Not on command usage

[slate swan]

then can u help me re-write the code pls? so that i can understand*

[vale wing]

I am trying to explain it to you so you can rewrite it by yourself

[slate swan]

@bot.event

        await member.send(member, 'Incorrect key')```
Bot won’t message user (don’t worry everything is defined)

[vale wing]

That's the modern pedagogy concept

[slate swan]

well if i use commands i will need to change up my entire bot script*

[vale wing]

You would better change it not to suffer from it in the future

[slate swan]

Any help would be appreciated

which i have worked on for so long, and so much features, that will need to change

[vale wing]

member.add_roles(role)```

Not the bot.add_roles

[slate swan]

bcz im using an old way of doing python discord*

so is there any way to do it?

[slate swan]

The bot adds the Roles tho? Nvm

instead of changing the entire code*

[vale wing]

Member has add_roles method not the Bot

[slate swan]

And the bot doenst message the user on join

Help with that?

[vale wing]

Always using old ways will keep you at the same place without progress, good developers should always learn the newer and better ways to implement stuff

[slate swan]

could u pls teach me how to do it in my current way? cuz its gonna take forever to change it*

[vale wing]

Personally I rewrited several huge projects with bad code to the normal ones

[slate swan]

so is there any way to change it in the current way?

[vale wing]

There is but it is inconvenient and confusing

[slate swan]

@vale wing it’s not messaging user on join would ctx be better then member in my situation

[slate swan]

it will be ok, could you please teach me the incovenient and confusing way of doing it?

[vale wing]

May I ask what's your python knowledge level

[slate swan]

Intermediate

i dont mind doing it the confusing way for now

[vale wing]

First, bring out the CREATE TABLE statements to on_ready and make them CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS and in commands use the statements like this

cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data (UserID, Cash) VALUES (?, ?)", (message.author.id, 0)")```

Bad naming convention, bad db setup and a non perfect way of implementing db interactions but you asked for it

I hope you will learn how to improve it

As for now, you can look at my project to see how you could implement database interaction

https://github.com/Exenifix/birthday-bot/blob/master/modules/bot.py

It's very simple and not the best but still better than making queries in commands

[slate swan]

Sheesh

Nice project

[umbral night]

help

apparently these dont work anymore

[vale wing]

https://github.com/Exenifix/birthday-bot/blob/master/modules/bot.py#L93-L98

[unkempt canyon]

modules/bot.py lines 93 to 98

async def set_birthday(self, user: User, bday: Date):
    await self.execute(
        "INSERT OR REPLACE INTO users (id, birthday) VALUES (?, ?)",
        user.id,
        bday.to_str(),
    )```

[slate swan]

thxs ima try it now

[vale wing]

Things like this

[placid skiff]

seems like that your website scripts screwed up

[vale wing]

heck that to_str() method wtf did i do

[placid skiff]

or you were using a venv when you coded that project

[umbral night]

was i not supposed to

lol?

[narrow grail]

Does Modals only work for slash commands?

[placid skiff]

well tbh venv are usefull but you have to remind to import them too when you export the project lol

[vale wing]

For components as well

Basically for all interactions

[umbral night]

idk how to do that..

[vale wing]

It might appear randomly sometimes and people are wondering wth happened to their packages

[umbral night]

my friend setup my venv

[narrow grail]

I use a other prefix then /

[umbral night]

yeah but now my bot doesnt work

[vale wing]

Venv setup is screwed in windows

[umbral night]

how owuld i fix that

[umbral night]

i use linux

[vale wing]

Those "execution policies"

[vale wing]

Oh cool

[narrow grail]

and now nothing is working anymore

[umbral night]

how do i fix it

[slate swan]

        if message.content.lower() == '>register':
            con = lite.connect('user_data.db')

            with con:
                cur = con.cursor()
                on_ready CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS user_data(UserID TEXT, Cash INT);
                cur.execute("INSERT INTO user_data (UserID, Cash) VALUES (?, ?)", (message.author.id, 0)") ```

[placid skiff]

do you have that venv in your machine now?

[narrow grail]

since I created this modal

[vale wing]

Do you have a folder like "venv" in your project folder?

[slate swan]

@vale wing like this?

[umbral night]

my friend made me move the stuff that was in my folder to a folder for a repo

[vale wing]

That's weird code

And that's way you should learn a new way of making bots

[umbral night]

so he could do PRs

i think ive messed everything up

[slate swan]

but does it work?

[vale wing]

@umbral night so again

[vale wing]

With that syntax no

[umbral night]

not anymore?

[slate swan]

then how do i do it?

[placid skiff]

you have to find the venv folder bro or you'll have to setup the whole project dependencies again xD

[vale wing]

Learn the new way of making bots

Lemme find that tutorial

[slate swan]

oh :0, this bot was made 1-3 years ago thats why

[vale wing]

@slate swan this one is good (I'd personally recommend going with disnake) https://vcokltfre.dev

[slate swan]

do you think its worth rewriting the code? its a few thousand lines*

[vale wing]

Totally worth

Gotta tell you if you get really experienced you will rewrite it not even once

[slate swan]

okie i will look at that

[slate swan]

:0

Requests + aiohttp fire combo but wtf

Just use aiohttp

And make sure you get success status code

[slate swan]

I-

[placid skiff]

i wonder if that guy finds his venv or he is setting up dependencies again

[tall pecan]

hi

[slate swan]

why are you using requests for one request and aiohttp for another ;-;

[vale wing]

Gonna publish first stable version of AIAS soon it's gonna be hot

[tall pecan]

idk

[slate swan]

AIAS?

[vale wing]

Yes

[placid skiff]

what it is?

[slate swan]

very well

[slate swan]

I mean, elaborate

[vale wing]

AI AntiSpam shortly

[placid skiff]

Cool

[vale wing]

Currently has bugs but I almost fixed them all

[placid skiff]

congrats

[vale wing]

Thx

[tall pecan]

i just want a command send random tickle images

[sick birch]

Replit?

[slate swan]

Cool

How do i make discord spam bots? thanks btw ;D

[sick birch]

Those are against TOS and we can’t help you with those here in accordance with rule 5

[slate swan]

Purely hypothetical

haha XD

spamming in general is against discord ToS, weather is an user account or a normal one

[velvet compass]

Hypothetically I would hate to have a spam bot used somewhere I am, and would hypothetically do my best to make sure no one ever makes one

[slate swan]

If someone wants to help. Dm's are open ;D ty

haha XD

[velvet compass]

Don't try to solicit help on ToS breaking projects. Thanks

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

4. Use English to the best of your ability. Be polite if someone speaks English imperfectly.

[slate swan]

As long as i dont get the help on this server everything is fine.

[sick birch]

Right

[slate swan]

Is my english that bad?

[sick birch]

But you know do it at your own risk

[slate swan]

By mistake

😭

!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.

[slate swan]

Well, i know there are tools. But the good ones cost a lot of money.

Why u want spam bot

Haha.. just for trolling good friends 😉

..

hahaha

[sick birch]

While that may or may not be true it could easily be adapted for… other purposes

[velvet compass]

Let's move on

[slate swan]

Ok

[sick birch]

.topic

[lament depot]

**What unique features does your bot contain, if any?**

Suggest more topics here!

[sick birch]

none lmao

[slate swan]

Hentai

[sick birch]

well

that’s certainly unique

[slate swan]

what?

[sick birch]

Let’s try to keep it appropriate

[slate swan]

I was honest

Ok

And, how do i make spam bots for twitch?

Nah, just kidding XD

!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.

[slate swan]

Stop so

[velvet compass]

!mute 274822366708629505 3d I'll help you to not ask about ToS breaking projects on this server for a little while.

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied mute to @slate swan until <t:1650722346:f> (2 days and 23 hours).

[slate swan]

Cool

[boreal ravine]

Anyone have any bot ideas?

[slate swan]

Make chess

[boreal ravine]

boring

but interesting

[slate swan]

Make a suggest command

[ripe fulcrum]

chess is a good concept

[slate swan]

Ye complex too

[ripe fulcrum]

but its too long

[slate swan]

Yes

[ripe fulcrum]

all the rules

[boreal ravine]

theres already lots of chess bots out there so no.

[ripe fulcrum]

and move and directions

there's enough of all bots out there

[slate swan]

Add ludo xD

[ripe fulcrum]

you have to think outside of the box there mate

[slate swan]

Ludo is medium

Cuz there are not much rules

[ripe fulcrum]

how about a graph making bot xd

or mathemathical stuff bot

[slate swan]

Boring

[ripe fulcrum]

one time use but still useful

[slate swan]

Add antinuke

[ripe fulcrum]

hmm

can you make a website with a bot?

that might be cool

[slate swan]

Dashboard stuff u mean

[ripe fulcrum]

no,not really

like a homepage of some sort

[tall pecan]

website for a bot?

[slate swan]

Yo mee7

[tall pecan]

hi

[boreal ravine]

yes

[ripe fulcrum]

then do it

everyone will be interested in making website

especially discord users for their mod applications

server advertisement

server info

games on website which is connected to a duscord bot

[shell wing]

Yea

[pliant gulch]

Seems like it's every other day that someone comes in with an issue regarding API bans with repl.it

[boreal ravine]

R. Danny just got verified

[pure sparrow]

just a question: how do you set a time like that ? Like a limit

[velvet compass]

A discord timestamp?

The .epoch command can help, but it is like this: <t:1651069269:D> -> <t:1651069269:D>

[pliant gulch]

If you have a datetime.datetime object you can use discord.py's helper method

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.10)") for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

[humble granite]

Hello! I have a little problem with discord.Color in embeds. I want the color to be a string. (e.g: #ffffff) But It looks like discord does not accepts these strings. Is there any way to like convert the string into an hex so discord accepts it?

[cloud dawn]

https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/

[slate swan]

int("ffffff", 16), the # should not be there tho

[opal cosmos]

can i not have the bot change its presence within a task loop?

[slate swan]

You ofcourse can

[opal cosmos]

not working tho

@tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
async def status():
  await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=discord.Game("~help"))
  asyncio.sleep(1)
  await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=discord.Game("repl.it"))
  asyncio.sleep(1)

[opal cosmos]

0xffffff

[humble granite]

Thank you! That worked for me

[cloud dawn]

We don't help with API abuse.

[opal cosmos]

bruh

fine

[slate swan]

bro?
you are setting up a task for 5 seconds for status and using sleep in that too ;-;

for changing the activity twice

[cloud dawn]

If you increase the time it switches by * 600 then it's better. I also recommend to await asyncio sleep.

[opal cosmos]

lol

[slate swan]

so basically updating the presence twice in every 5 seconds

[opal cosmos]

ok whatever i dont need it

[slate swan]

also also, How do I make a Custom Exception for my commands?

just make a class and raise the class on error

[slate swan]

I mean, do i inherit another one or not?

you need to inherit the Exception class

[slate swan]

I mean, is this right?

even though I dont expect it to be right

it is right by why did you make the Error class? just for being specific that those error classes are custom ?

[slate swan]

yeah, I really thought that would be a better choice

[lofty pecan]

Hi there, is there a way to have a global event type or something like that to blacklist certain people from the bot ? so they can't use it ?

[slate swan]

on_command (event)

[slate swan]

well, its correct :D

[slate swan]

you can make a custom check

[slate swan]

tysm

which would be global

[lofty pecan]

ho?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_check

add_check(func, /, *, call_once=False)```
Adds a global check to the bot.

This is the non-decorator interface to [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.check "discord.ext.commands.Bot.check") and [`check_once()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.check_once "discord.ext.commands.Bot.check_once").

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

[lofty pecan]

how can I do that?

it's like, I go see in a json if the id of the user is there

and I return a True or False statement ?

[slate swan]

json file 😔

[lofty pecan]

it's just few ids lol

otherwise I use sqlite

[slate swan]

ah well

[slate swan]

yep, if it returns True, the command will function

else, its supposed to raise a CheckFailure error, or you can raise your own error class

[lofty pecan]

so hum, does that mean that in every command I need to add that line that check the id ?

[slate swan]

Bot.add_check adds it to your complete bot

each command would get that check automatically

[lofty pecan]

hoooo

so no need to add anything nice !

[boreal ravine]

you should rename it to InvalidType, also why is the error message all capital letters

[lofty pecan]

for example in my main.py file where I gather all the cogs and run the bot I add bot.add_check?

[slate swan]

idk :kek: and thanks

[lofty pecan]

I'm confused by how i'm supposed to implement it lol

[slate swan]

yessir, you can do it anywhere

[lofty pecan]

@bot.check
async def blacklist(ctx):
    return ctx.author.id in get_user_blacklist()```

like that?

[maiden fable]

Sure

[lofty pecan]

and then I need to define get_user_blacklist()

[maiden fable]

Iirc that's how it works

[lofty pecan]

nice :3

[maiden fable]

Well a list would be easier

return ctx.author.id in user_blacklist

[lofty pecan]

I mean, if I make a json file I need to fetch that file ?

[maiden fable]

Where user_blacklist is a list

Ah yes

[slate swan]

what does get_user_blacklist return?

[maiden fable]

He has to code it

[lofty pecan]

I already have a fetch command anyway so it's not hard

[maiden fable]

@lofty pecan make sure the function returns a list

[lofty pecan]

yes yes

[slate swan]

oh well, then he can just return the list, or enter that list right there directly

[lofty pecan]

not a dictionnary lol

[opal cosmos]

im trying to set up an avatar command where the bot sends an embed with the image of someones pfp, but it wont send the embed. theres no error or anything it just doesnt send

  @commands.command(name="avatar", aliases=["av"])
  async def avatar(self, ctx: commands.Context, member=discord.Member):
    embed=discord.Embed(title="Here is {member}'s avatar:'", description="** **")
    embed.set_image(self.bot.get(member.avatar.url))
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[lofty pecan]

alright thanks ^^

[maiden fable]

U can return a dict too, it will check for dict keys

[lofty pecan]

yes yes but that's annoying lol

[maiden fable]

Indeed

[maiden fable]

set_image(url=)

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

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

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

[maiden fable]

Also, your error handler is eating the errors

[slate swan]

bot.get(member.avatar.url) ? and the url is a keyword argument in set_image

[maiden fable]

That too

[lofty pecan]

Can I store a list in a jason file ?

[opal cosmos]

i dont understand

[lofty pecan]

like [...] or do I have to use {...} ?

and then put the list

[opal cosmos]

yes but ive never learned how, nobody will explain that to me

[slate swan]

you know what a keyword argument is right?

[maiden fable]

Sure

[lofty pecan]

ho nice

[maiden fable]

U can store it directly

[lofty pecan]

that's nice !

[slate swan]

{
"list_of_ids" : [1,2,3]
}```

[lofty pecan]

well it makes it easier haha

[opal cosmos]

sort of? i dont remember exactly... ik what an argument is, but i dont remember what it is if keyword comes before it

[maiden fable]

No need

[lofty pecan]

isn't that a dictionnary ?

I was thinking storing in the json a list directly without any key required

[slate swan]

thats a json content

which is basically same as a dictionary

[opal cosmos]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

you need to provide the argument name, then its value

[slate swan]

no need of?

[opal cosmos]

embed.set_image(url=self.bot.get(member.avatar.url))?

[slate swan]

yes, what's self.bot.get tho? your own method?

[maiden fable]

The dict. He can directly save the list

[opal cosmos]

uh its in a cog is that not how it works?

[slate swan]

never knew json works that way too

[maiden fable]

I would love to see what it is 👀

[lofty pecan]

is this illegal lol that's all I am asking

[slate swan]

self.bot is correct but it does not have any get attribute

[maiden fable]

No

[slate swan]

url = member.avatar.url is all you need

[lofty pecan]

don't forget the string formatting I am not sure not using `f'Here is {member}'s avatar:' will work

[lofty pecan]

okay great !

[opal cosmos]

still no work

  @commands.command(name="avatar", aliases=["av"])
  async def avatar(self, ctx: commands.Context, member=discord.Member):
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Here is {member}'s avatar:'", description="** **")
    embed.set_image(url=member.avatar.url)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

your error handler is probably eating your error

[opal cosmos]

this one?

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
      emoji = self.bot.get_emoji(id=966153503556898816)
      msg = f":no_entry_sign: __**On cooldown**__, please try again in `{round(error.retry_after, 2)}s`"
      await ctx.send(msg)

[maiden fable]

Yes

[lofty pecan]

I had the same issue

[maiden fable]

Add

else:
    raise error

[lofty pecan]

add an else statement

async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
            retry = error.retry_after
            remaining_time = str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=int(retry)))
            embed = discord.Embed(title=":clock1: Slow Down!!", description=f'{ctx.author.mention}, you can use this command again in ' + str(remaining_time), color=0xE74C3C)
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        else:
            raise error``` Here is an example of cooldown error being raised just to showcase the else

theres the error i got when i remove my error handler

[slate swan]

did you mention an member? or provide the userid /name

[opal cosmos]

yeah

mention

[lofty pecan]

welp I got this CheckFailure: The global check functions for command ocrandom failed.

using this

That's the issue

Don't use a dict

[lofty pecan]

wait I'm an idiot

I thought that was the issue but a return was missing initially

[opal cosmos]

XD i feel like that all the time

[lofty pecan]

doesn't work either

[maiden fable]

Code

[lofty pecan]

I modified the one above

easier

[maiden fable]

Can u print data?

[lofty pecan]

?

elif isinstance(error, commands.errors.CheckFailure):

anyone know how to make an imbeded message?

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") for you.

Changed in version 2.0: `Embed.Empty` has been removed in favour of `None`.

[boreal ravine]

it needs a key

[frozen elk]

I'm thinking of getting started with discord bots but there are so many lib out there can anyone help me out and explain the pros and cons of popular ones.

[lofty pecan]

I don't want to make a dictionnary

[slate swan]

Then why ur using json

[frozen elk]

It won't work if you don't have a key

[boreal ravine]

why are you a using json file then? just use a regular list

[maiden fable]

Bro remove the {}

[slate swan]

Use a txt file instead?

[lofty pecan]

[maiden fable]

He's storing a list

[lofty pecan]

lmao

[slate swan]

Store in txt file ez

[maiden fable]

Sorry bruv, I'm confused what's happening with yr code rn
Just remove the json.load(data) and return the data directly and u will be fine

[lofty pecan]

I just made a list inside my code

[slate swan]

Imagine bot crash

[lofty pecan]

still doesn't work

[slate swan]

Error?

[lofty pecan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CheckFailure: The global check functions for command leaderboard failed.

[frozen elk]

Lmao use sqlite... more eligent way of doing things

[lofty pecan]

still the same

[lofty pecan]

I am already for something else

[maiden fable]

Wait wait wait wait

[lofty pecan]

but that's so small I don't need a fancy database

[maiden fable]

By any chance... is it your ID in the JSON?

[lofty pecan]

no

[frozen elk]

Why are you using a json then?

[lofty pecan]

because I don't need to make a fancy sqlite database file for 3 ids lmao

[slate swan]

Txt file!!

[velvet haven]

is it not possible to send dm when someone leeaves the server

on member_leave

[frozen elk]

If it's only 3 then store it locally in the code

[lofty pecan]

omg fortunately i'd be so annoyed

[slate swan]

Idk

[lofty pecan]

that's what I did

[slate swan]

If its in mutal server u can msg ig

[maiden fable]

@lofty pecan i have an idea

[lofty pecan]

yes yes

[frozen elk]

In .py file... Not json

[maiden fable]

I fricking forgot how checks worked, but i have another way

[velvet haven]

hmm

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Use a client.event and do smth like:

@client.event
async def on_message(m):
    if m.author.id not in blacklist:
        await client.process_commands(m) 

[slate swan]

Cool

[exotic kite]
