Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[slate swan]

delete that msg

[river swift]

How could I make a discord bot with python from scratch?

[slate swan]

you could use a wait_for

[river swift]

:,v

[slate swan]

english only

[slate swan]

watch tutorials

[slate swan]

noooooooo

[chilly igloo]

What does this mean https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ezacomuvur

[brave forge]

@slate swan that is , the same way to process as the buttons ?

[river swift]

happens some

[brave forge]

sori sent the wrong one

[slate swan]

ok np

[slate swan]

sheesh, which library?

[brave forge]

I just wanted to send. How many Russians I started meeting but accidentally sent this

[slate swan]

@brave forge you're using discord.py or what library?

[brave forge]

yes yes

[slate swan]

yes what?

lol

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ifujucebeb 😔 why is this happening

[brave forge]

@slate swan Yes, I use discord.py

[slate swan]

If you wish to use Buttons (and Selects/Dropdowns), please view the documentation for discord.ui here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#bot-ui-kit

You can also view examples in the repo: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

[brave forge]

@slate swanfor buttons I remember using "from discord_components import Discord Components, Button, ButtonStyle" but it didn't work

[slate swan]

are you using discord.py 2 or 1.7.3?

you cant name a function like you did

пред can't be used in python for naming a class/variable/function

[brave forge]

how to view the version discord.py

[chilly igloo]

I just copied it from someone

[slate swan]

use @bot.command(name="пред")

[chilly igloo]

Can you DM me the code pls

[slate swan]

print(discord.__version__)

guess what i find

[slate swan]

@slate swan any idea?

[slate swan]

no sorry i can't spoonfeed, read this
#discord-bots message

[main sonnet]

so hi i have tried to create a discord music bot but every time i try to run it i get a Self.client=client
IndentationError: unexpected indent Error
here is my code:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/egobicajab

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/tifodirosi

[slate swan]

just a moment

sure

and this is my cog itself

''' how I load it '''
[bot.load_extension(f"./cogs/{file[:-3]}") for file in os.listdir("./cogs") if file.endswith(".py")]

disnake cool

[brave forge]

version 1.7.3

[slate swan]

better upgrade to dpy 2

[slate swan]

what's your file structure

[brave forge]

does my entire software code break then ?

[slate swan]

well, it shall

got a new idea for cmd

!!

[slate swan]

did you try using cogs/{file[:-3]} as the path

[slate swan]

yeah

same error?

[brave forge]

how to do that when you click the reaction. In the first case, the command continued, and in the second it stopped or displayed a message like no !?

[slate swan]

oh wait, thats not how you load an extension

[slate swan]

huhhh

it worked twice before

[slate swan]

load_extension(f"cogs.{file[:-3]}")

not in this bot*

I recently reset my Token, and now the data in MySQL won’t update? does the token have anything to do with it?

[slate swan]

I'm high

sheesh

..

[brave forge]

@slate swan how to do that when you click the reaction. In the first case, the command continued, and in the second it stopped or displayed a message like no !?

[slate swan]

if you mean your discord bot token
no, your bot token has nothing to do with the mysql server

hmm alrighty

[slate swan]

thanks though, it worked

cool

[brave forge]

this type is used entirely instead of discord.py ?

[slate swan]

another problem 😔 How do I make a check for a cog?

Like I'm doing this as of now, which obviously wont work

def check_limit(self):
        async def predicate(ctx):
            user = await self.bot.db.read(query={"key": ctx.author.id})
            if len(user['notes']) >= 5:
                raise MaximumValuesReached()
            return True
        return commands.check(predicate)

oh no its easier

[slate swan]

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
  async def cog_check(self, context: commands.Context):
      # this is an in-built cog check
      ...```

ah

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_check

cog_check(ctx)```
A special method that registers as a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") for every command and subcommand in this cog.

This function **can** be a coroutine and must take a sole parameter, `ctx`, to represent the [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context").

[slate swan]

uh so is it applied for every command in the cog?

yep

thanks a lot uwu sarthak

Seeing as it has nothing to do with my token it must be my code. So, Ive made it so when a user renames a ticket to {user}-done my database updates their count by 1, however, i recently reset my bots token and now that doesnt work. But, other parts of the database works, like adding users to the database and so forth. Here's my code:

users = sorted(users.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
for i in users:
  mycursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM logs_info")
  for i2 in mycursor:
    if str(i2[1]) == str(i[0]):
      NewCount = int(i2[2])+int(i[1])
  mycursor.execute(f"UPDATE logs_info set count = '{NewCount}' WHERE username = '{i[0]}'")
  db.commit()
mycursor.close()
db.close()

I get no errors..

[boreal ravine]

Which database are you using?

[brave forge]

@boreal ravine how to do that when you click the reaction. In the first case, the command continued, and in the second it stopped or displayed a message like no !?

[opal cosmos]

how to make cooldown message without using global error handlers, bcs im kinda not liking it eating my errors

[slate swan]

json files deta's Base

[boreal ravine]

Add ```py
else:
print(error)

[spring flax]

this would be better (needs the traceback and sys module)```py
else:
print('Ignoring exception in command {}:'.format(ctx.command), file=sys.stderr)
traceback.print_exception(type(error), error, error.traceback, file=sys.stderr)

[boreal ravine]

i guess you could do ```py
r, _ = await bot.wait_for(...)

continue

re, __ = await bot.wait_for(...)

display no

[brave forge]

❤️

[sacred oyster]

how do i make a coinflip command?

[opal cosmos]

undefinted name "traceback"

[sacred oyster]

anyone?

[spring flax]

like i said, needs the traceback and sys module

you have to import

[boreal ravine]

yes..

[vast gale]

[boreal ravine]

just integrate it into a command

[sacred oyster]

with the . . . ?

[broken elk]

What's your best suggestion for keeping a discord bot online? I work on a Chromebook.

[boreal ravine]

Use something that can host your bot

[broken elk]

Really, I thought I should use something that doesn't do that

[sacred oyster]

i think https://www.pythonanywhere.com/

[boreal ravine]

maybe.. but ... is the part where you write your own code

[sacred oyster]

ok

[quaint epoch]

@delicate trench over here

[brave forge]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands' has no attribute 'wait_for'

[quaint epoch]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.4.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[broken elk]

Ok, I'll see if I can get that to work once I get to my computer

[quaint epoch]

this is an api wrapper, makes life a million times easier

you need a bot user to use it tho

[boreal ravine]

you need a Client/Bot instance

[quaint epoch]

so just make one at https://discord.com/developers/applications

[boreal ravine]

why did you think that?

[broken elk]

sarcasm alert

[brave forge]

but I have commands now because of cogs

[cold sonnet]

self.bot.wait_for

self.bot is your bot instance

[strong vector]

hi can i put events in one class?

[cold sonnet]

you mean cogs? sure

@commands.Cog.listener()
instead of @bot.event

[strong vector]

thanks

[strong vector]

wait before i use cog, i need to how knowledge about cog

to have*

[cold sonnet]

it doesn't look easy but it actually is

make a class where you subclass commands.Cog

[strong vector]

ye. but i want to learn what is exaicly cog

[cold sonnet]

your init should look like this:

def __init__(self, bot):
    self.bot = bot

[strong vector]

k

[cold sonnet]

so like

you make a subclass of Cog

then you make a setup function for it

so when you use load_extension, discord.py calls that setup function for you

or you can call it yourself

[strong vector]

i use Grepper
i found this code

from discord.ext import commands

class Test_Cog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
      self.bot = bot # defining bot as global var in class
      
    @commands.Cog.listener() # this is a decorator for events/listeners
    async def on_ready(self):
      print('Bot is ready!.')
      
    @commands.command() # this is for making a command
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send(f'Pong! {round(self.bot.latency * 1000)}')
        
def setup(bot): # a extension must have a setup function

[cold sonnet]

do you use 2.0?

[vale wing]

This looks fine except setup is empty

[strong vector]

what do you mean?

[cold sonnet]

dpy2.0

[vale wing]

Well not perfect but conceptually it is valid

[strong vector]

i didn't copy it all

[cold sonnet]

do you use discord.py 2.0

[strong vector]

let me check i didn't use d.py from a long time age

omg

[cold sonnet]

self.bot.wait_for

😔

[cold sonnet]

just told you

pretty inappropiate command

[strong vector]

how to see my d.py v?

[cold sonnet]

print(discord.version)

[strong vector]

my discord.py v 1.6.0

[cold sonnet]

lmao

update it

[strong vector]

yup

that what i am going to do

its so old right?

[restive palm]

I have a dumb question, I saw they had discord.js would it be better in the long run to start and stay in python or is discord.js a good start, I plan on working on creating my own version of Carl bot and have never tried to make a project this big before.

[strong vector]

its depend

[restive palm]

I have made some basic bots before just using py but I just learned they had js so wasn’t sure if it was a good idea

[strong vector]

are you great at discord.py/python or you great at js?

[slate swan]

I mean, Carl bot is coded in python

[restive palm]

I have done only py so far so wasn’t sure if js would be anything interesting

[strong vector]

idk i want to help but i am not good advicer

[strong vector]

what i know you will work with difference stynx

oh shit i forget its ifter

bye

[restive palm]

I’m just not sure what discord’s plan was for py and js, I was wondering which would be better in the long run

[boreal ravine]

iftar?

[boreal ravine]

both..

they are practically the same

both have all the new features

[slate swan]

you just make requests/ws connection to the api, doesnt matter what language you use

[restive palm]

Ok so just personal preference basically

[boreal ravine]

yes

but python is more easier

[static lintel]

    client.crypto_pages = [cryptoEmbed, cryptoEmbed2, cryptoEmbed3, cryptoEmbed4, cryptoEmbed5, cryptoEmbed6, cryptoEmbed7, cryptoEmbed8]
    current = 0
    async def button_callback(interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content=client.crypto_pages[current+1])
    msg = await ctx.send(embed=client.crypto_pages[current], view=view)```

[slate swan]

ite easier because of its syntax and keywords

[boreal ravine]

obviously..

[static lintel]

i was trying to scroll through embed pages using buttons but for some reason the interaction.response.edit_message part doesn't seem to do anything rn. did i mess up smt?

[strong vector]

yes

[restive palm]

Yeah I don’t know much on js so that’s why I was asking

[slate swan]

lol

and most libs provide an inbuilt/external command handler(s)

[boreal ravine]

lol

[strong vector]

if you want to code faster use python

[boreal ravine]

[restive palm]

Yeah I have always used py just wasn’t sure if it was anything different for js

But if it’s personal preference definitely sticking with py

[strong vector]

.bm

[brave forge]

the last question is it retoric

[craggy cloak]

I made a slash command to test but it don't show when I use the slash?

@bot.slash_command() async def hello(ctx, name: str = None): name = name or ctx.author.name await ctx.respond(f"Hello {name}!")

[brave forge]

try using a simple send instead of a response

[craggy cloak]

like await ctx.send?

[strong vector]

"You need to verify your e-mail in order to perform this action."

how do i verify my email?

[cold sonnet]

one thing's for sure

your label is a tuple

and you're checking if it's a string in the if statement

[dire folio]

say i have to store one or two variables (externally) how should i store them?

[cold sonnet]

!bot-var

[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!

[hushed galleon]

ban_members, plural

yw

[brave forge]

and how can I create a team without a tuple ?

[cold sonnet]

label = '1'

but I'm no expert at your third party lib

[hushed galleon]

if you're updating these variables frequently you probably want a database, and for stuff like configurations a file is fine

[cold sonnet]

one or two

[brave forge]

...
the Russians in this case say and fuck you're sticking your nose out of your business

[cold sonnet]

ok

no matter what, a slash command will say interaction failed if no response comes

or an interaction

yes

make sure to put something at the end to see if your buttons even worked

out of all if statements so it surely returns something

also, language

[keen talon]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[brave forge]

@slate swan
and where did you find all the access rights of discord ??

[cold sonnet]

the what

[slate swan]

what is this guy talking about

[silver magnet]

async def question(message):
    redditsub = reddit.subreddit('AskReddit')
    num = random.randrange(1, 100)
    for post in redditsub.hot(limit=num):
        await message.channel.send(post.title)
        return```
this command is supposed to choose any random reddit post but it always chooses the same one. what's wrong?

[cold sonnet]

I and fuck am sticking my nose out of my business

😔

[slate swan]

just have get all the subs and put them in a list and pick a random element

[slate swan]

that gave me a stroke

[cold sonnet]

ikr

[slate swan]

Hi

[cold sonnet]

yeah it would go through a list of elements, but you return after sending the first one

[silver magnet]

when i didnt put the return it just spammed

[cold sonnet]

I think all you wanna do is just

await message.send(random.choice(redditsub.hot(limit=100)))

which looks complicated but really isn't

and don't name a Context instance message next time

uh is it a list

redditsub.host()

[silver magnet]

i just want to choose a single post

[silver magnet]

i should mention i only want posts from that subreddit.

how to setup a on_message event in a cog

self has no attribute client

[cold sonnet]

interesting

[cold sonnet]

self is a result, not a cog

you defined the class wrong

[gray nest]

no no

[cold sonnet]

show

it's correct

[cold sonnet]

maybe you overwrote it then

Probably just the name of the class

know it now

Open the file and see if the author Id is in there

[opal cosmos]

but like how? ive never used json files before

[paper sluice]

It's just like a dict

[silver magnet]

async def question(message):
    redditsub = reddit.subreddit('AskReddit')
    for post in redditsub.random():
        await message.channel.send(post.title + "\n" + post.url)

i changed it and it still does the same

[paper sluice]

with open(file) as file:
  file = json.load(file)
  if ctx.author.id in file: # this will check all the keys
    ...

[opal cosmos]

thx

[silver magnet]

just figured it out

[opal cosmos]

ok so in my json file, i have this:

{
  "965624886657695804"
}

and it says its expecting a colon, but what goes after it?

"965624886657695804" : what here?

[sacred oyster]

there's any way to disable the "banned from api temporaly"?

[velvet compass]

Probably not. Sounds like a rate limit or straight up ban from accessing an API. What were you doing prior to that?

[opal cosmos]

@paper sluice

[flat swallow]

Hi I am making a Discord bot and I am trying to make a Dead Chat Ping function that pings @ here if there is no activity in the server for 1 hour.

if message.content.startswith("$EnableDeadChatPing"):
      if datetime.datetime.now() - message.created_at == 5:
        await message.channel.send("@here")
      await message.channel.send("Enabled Dead Chat Ping")

Here there are no compiler errors and the Enabled Dead Chat Ping message comes out too but the @ here ping doesn't which it is supposed to if 5 seconds pass, which I have done as a test

[opal cosmos]

hey so um i tried asking someone about this and he hasnt replied so i still ned help. i have this command:

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  with open("premium.json") as file:
    file = json.load(file)
    if ctx.author.id in file:
      await ctx.send("Testing")

and this in my json file:

{
  "965624886657695804" :
}

what goes after the colon?

[paper sluice]

Use a list to store singular data

[slate swan]

str(ctx.author.id), since you save the json keys as string

[opal cosmos]

pls explain, bcs as i said, ive never used json file before

[paper sluice]

Just replace { with [

And remove the semicolon

[opal cosmos]

ok

[

What doesnt work?

[opal cosmos]

it wont send the message after testing if my id is in the file

thx it works

json is weird

ok so i wanna delete the users command after its used but it says that ctx has no attribute "delete"

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you need the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.message

The message that triggered the command being executed.

Note

In the case of an interaction based context, this message is “synthetic” and does not actually exist. Therefore, the ID on it is invalid similar to ephemeral messages.

[slate swan]

it would be

await ctx.message.delete()

[opal cosmos]

thx

Trying to make a bot clear command.

Hello m a new memebr on this server

[slate swan]

so there's not a if message.author.bot = True ?

for a leveling system in dpy they just give the bot xp as well?

no no

what im trying to get at is like a purge command, but instead of it purging USER messages it purges bot messages. i've seen it done wit multiple bots that use dpy

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge you can pass a check to the purge call

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=False, bulk=True, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission to delete messages even if they are your own. The [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

Changed in version 2.0: The `reason` keyword-only parameter was added.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages...

[cedar niche]

can you explain how hosting bots works

[pliant gulch]

E.g lambda message: message.author.bot

[slate swan]

ty

ag

[pliant gulch]

The purge method will call the check, and only purge if the message passes the check

Has anyone here made a backend for their bot? Im trying to make a SQl DB on a server, build an API on it. Since im using python for my bot would flask/django be solid for backend?

[jade bay]

Have a file being ran on that?

[frozen patio]

I run my bots on a 30gb VPS

[cedar niche]

can i host it on a normal hosting provider like profreehost or somethhing?

[jade bay]

I don't know, probably

[cedar niche]

do i need a hosting service that has python on it

[cedar niche]

thats cool man

[frozen patio]

I host like 15 on there with databases and such and the VPS handles it all

[cedar niche]

thts really cool where can test ur bots

[frozen patio]

I am not allowed to promote such things here

But I have a few test servers

[cedar niche]

ok ok send me bro

[crisp shoal]

so I have a command with buttons here,
after I restart the bot it works and responds normally, reacts to the buttons etc.
but if I try to run the command again, it doesn't respond. not on any guild or channel

how can I stop it from listening to button callbacks, how do I stop them with the view.stop

[slate swan]

if you subclassed View just do self.stop()

if not just use an instance of View

[sacred oyster]

why?

[sacred oyster]

pls help

"rust > python" ?!

[exotic bear]

i dont think you can, but even if you find a way to it would be too slow for practical purposes

[crisp shoal]

@slate swan how do I subclass View

[sacred oyster]

u can help me with the issue?

[exotic bear]

can you show your code including the line numbers?

[crisp shoal]

bro why can't it respond to the command again even after stopping the view from every button

[exotic bear]

i think you meant list(count_members.items()) here at line 59

[crisp shoal]

why can't my bot reply even after stopping every view

it works after restarting bot but then doesn't reply anymore

doesn't work in any guild or channel anymore

[cold sonnet]

you call the command yourself?

[charred laurel]

first i have a function that sends a message on a command and than calls another function that will open a txt file which thn calls this function

[cold sonnet]

it's fetch_message

[cold sonnet]

you have to await this function

[crisp shoal]

guys I found out what my issue was

replace get_message with fetch_message, discord.Embed with an instance of it and you cannot edit ctx.message

are the delays from /slash command down to the code or discord alone staling them kinda thing?

[strong vector]

in the new update can i take the user input? (not wait msg to take input)

[brave forge]

if you throw a bunch of links into a json file, the program itself will be able to randomly get them from there and use them in embed ?

[strong vector]

yes you can

1.load the links list from the json file

wait i didn't use discord from a long time

2.use the random library
3. use the fun random.choice(linksList)

[slate swan]

or just use a list

[slate swan]

like the input function?

!d input

[unkempt canyon]

input

input([prompt])```
If the *prompt* argument is present, it is written to standard output without a trailing newline. The function then reads a line from input, converts it to a string (stripping a trailing newline), and returns that. When EOF is read, [`EOFError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#EOFError "EOFError") is raised. Example:

```py
>>> s = input('--> ')  
--> Monty Python's Flying Circus
>>> s  
"Monty Python's Flying Circus"
```  If the [`readline`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/readline.html#module-readline "readline: GNU readline support for Python. (Unix)") module was loaded, then [`input()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#input "input") will use it to provide elaborate line editing and history features.

Raises an [auditing event](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#auditing) `builtins.input` with argument `prompt` before reading input...

why is this wrong?

[sick birch]

That's incorrect syntax

Well technically it is correct

[opal cosmos]

but idk what would be right

[sick birch]

But it doesn't do what you want it to do

[opal cosmos]

then how do i make it do what i want it to do

[sick birch]

m.author != ctx.author

[opal cosmos]

ok

[oblique adder]

I have a verification command (slash command)

How do I know If there is an ongoing captcha which is not complete and won't send another one if there is so (until timer run out).

What is the best way ?
Use slash command and discord modals

[sick birch]

Or, not m.author == ctx.author

[oblique adder]

please ping

[sick birch]

You'd need some sort of bot variable:

bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.ongoingCaptcha: bool = False

@bot.command()
async def start_captcha(...):
  if not bot.ongoingCaptch:
    # do stuff

[oblique adder]

will this work if there is multiple people using ?

or should I just do the ez but not bad way to do it like storing user id in json file inside array ?

[opal cosmos]

ok so i have this annoyingly complex battle command and it wont send the winning message at the end unless i say FIRE

    def check(m):
      return m.content == 'Join' and m.channel == ctx.channel and m.author != ctx.author

    msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
    fight = await ctx.send("To win, be the first person to say...")
    await asyncio.sleep(3)
    await ctx.send("FIRE")
    
    
    def check2(m2):
      return m2.content == 'FIRE' and m2.channel == ctx.channel and m2.author == ctx.author

    msg2 = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check2)

You have to await add_cog() I'm guessing

Though I don't remember it being a coro but load_extension() was made a coro so I suppose it does make sense

[strong vector]

huh

[sick birch]

Well the error is clear enough, isn't it?

"coroutine 'BotBase.add_cog' was never awaited"

[strong vector]

yeah but i try to await it

[sick birch]

And what happens?

Can't await inside non-async function?

[strong vector]

yeah

[sick birch]

And setup() is supposed to be async

[strong vector]

i can't await outside or inside not-async fun

[olive osprey]

There are some different ways to do that, but you should check the activity of someone first of all

str(user.activity) # Not sure, but i think its needed as a string as it will return some other stuff else

I think this simply is enough, just check then what the status contains:

if str(user.activity) == "test":
    await user.send("Test")
else:
    pass

Not sure, but i think there's such an event like "on_user_update" or something

[sick birch]

async def setup(...):
  await bot.add_cog(...)
  ...

on_member_update

[strong vector]

i can't await it outside

you're not supposed to call setup

discord.py already does that for you internally

oo right

[trim fulcrum]

where did i mes up in indent

becuase i got indent errors

[strong vector]

you use tab/spac

[trim fulcrum]

duh

[olive osprey]

Do you use tabs & space mixed up? You should consider only using one of those both

[trim fulcrum]

no

[olive osprey]

I recommend using tab, try to indent the code again

Hm, I don't see any indent problem. What does the error say where you messed it up?

[trim fulcrum]

me either

[olive osprey]

ah

[strong vector]

i see

[olive osprey]

I see the problem, remove the #

[strong vector]

you coment the line

It does count the else as a part of the if statement

[trim fulcrum]

where

[strong vector]

excicly

[trim fulcrum]

on await?

[olive osprey]

Yes, you have it marked as comment. Remove the # from it and it should work

[trim fulcrum]

still same error

[olive osprey]

It's what I said, it looks like you used spaces and tabs mixed up, indent your code again only using tab or space

[trim fulcrum]

yea i do dat

[strong vector]

how to make him do that?

[boreal ravine]

what

[strong vector]

call the setup fuc?

[boreal ravine]

discord.py already does that for you internally

[sick birch]

It's not for you to call

Discord.py calls it automatically

[strong vector]

but it didn't call it automatically idk why

[sick birch]

How do you know it didn't call?

[strong vector]

it must print to em 'bot is ready!.'

[sick birch]

Right. Did you await load_extension(...)?

[strong vector]

i think cog is not for me lmao

[sick birch]

What do you mean?

[strong vector]

nope i didn't

[sick birch]

Mm. Yeah you need to do that for discord.py to call your setup function

[strong vector]

how to use that?

[sick birch]

Do it in your setup_hook

await load_extension("filename")

[strong vector]

what is the filename for?

[sick birch]

The name of the file with the cog

[strong vector]

uham

[olive osprey]

lmao

[slate swan]

i feel like its unnecessary to subclass the bot class just for loading cogs

[olive osprey]

Huh, what's that?

Damn, is that a d.py 2.0 thing?

[sick birch]

You should be subclassing anyway

[olive osprey]

never heard about it

[slate swan]

if youre starting no need.

[sick birch]

Right, and if you're getting to the point where you're loading cogs and extensions you're not necessarily starting and should consider subclassing

[slate swan]

so youre assuming that everybody who uses cogs know inheritance ?

[sick birch]

No, I'm only saying at that point it's time to start thinking about subclassing

(And learning if you don't know)

Since inheritance is one of the biggest concepts when it comes to object-oriented programming, it's quite important to know if you plan on expanding outside of just discord bots

[slate swan]

some people have it hard subclassing the bot class

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[olive osprey]

Can't seem to find it, that's really crazy, I never saw it listed up anywhere nor did I saw any bot having it

Damn, I will test that out tomorrow, I'm still on d.py 1.73 though, hopefully it works

[echo wasp]

Is it possible to add a user, bot, and banned members counter if so where do I start

[sick birch]

Discord provides all of those for you

await guild.bans() - for all banned users, find length to get banned members count
guild.members - for all members (including bots), find length to get all member count

And you can apply filters on guild.members to only get what you want

e.g filter(lambda x: x.bot, guild.members) for a list of all bots

Likewise, filter(lambda x: not x.bot, guild.members) for a list of all non-bot users

[echo wasp]

How about just numbers?

[sick birch]

len()

[echo wasp]

Example?

[slate swan]

!d len

[unkempt canyon]

len

len(s)```
Return the length (the number of items) of an object. The argument may be a sequence (such as a string, bytes, tuple, list, or range) or a collection (such as a dictionary, set, or frozen set).

**CPython implementation detail:** `len` raises [`OverflowError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OverflowError "OverflowError") on lengths larger than [`sys.maxsize`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.maxsize "sys.maxsize"), such as [`range(2 ** 100)`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#range "range").

im a fast learner and it took me a bit of time about 6-7 months and it was short because ive always liked programming and ive mastered python pretty well after about a year

[fleet pine]

thats great

[slate swan]

yep

[olive osprey]

Damn, I'm after around 4-5 months just starting to learn the "advanced" stuff, but for my defense I did take breaks sadly pretty often

[flat solstice]

in dpy 2.0 how can I check if a guild is a community server? can I do something like```py
guild = self.bot.get_guild(ID)
if guild.features.community is true:

run some code```

[slate swan]

big tip is to hang around people more experienced that you

most people i talk to/friends of mine have 2+ years of experience while i have more than a year of experience

[olive osprey]

Damn, that's actually something that could help me

Looks like I will be much more active on here lol

[slate swan]

ive learned quickly because ive been here probably 250+days so almost daily for over a year

mostly helping others

and no helper role, mina notice me or robin😔 🙏

[olive osprey]

Crazy, what channels are you the most active in? I just sometimes look in here, or try to find a help channel where someone just has problems with the d.py basics lmao, I mostly do that when I'm bored

[olive osprey]

Who knows what the future brings 👀

[slate swan]

i mostly hang in #discord-bots and for more advanced talks #965291516031549500

[slate swan]

yep!

i need time to finish my event system impl😔

but ive seen you and you remind me of me ngl

you have the same knowledge as me when i had 4-5 months of experience

[olive osprey]

I see, I see, looks like we will see each other more often from now on

Good luck with your event system

[slate swan]

💜

[olive osprey]

You did? Where lol

[slate swan]

im always lurking😏

[olive osprey]

good to know

[slate swan]

even when im in school😳

[olive osprey]

Damn

[slate swan]

you remind me allot of me because of your experience and your zt pfp😳

[olive osprey]

lmao, yeah zero two is never gonna die as waifu

[slate swan]

amen 💜 🙏

[olive osprey]

Anyways, we're kinda going off-topic, I will head to sleep now anyways, good night, we will probably see each other again within the next days!

[slate swan]

Good night, i look forward to it!

[cedar niche]

hello i have this error

RuntimeError: SSL is not supported.

[echo wasp]

How would I rename a channel the member amount

[cedar niche]

this is the code import discord

token = 'my tok'
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("hey we have logged in as {0.user}")

client.run(token)

please help me guys

[echo wasp]

Thank you

[fleet pine]

guys i cant see my bots token

and they need 2fa from where

do i get my 2fa

[boreal ravine]

probably yea

[boreal ravine]

yes

[boreal ravine]

get the channel object, use the edit method on it.. ```py
channel = ...
await channel.edit(name=...)

to get the members use `guild.members`, this returns a list of `Member` objects so just use the `len` function on it

[fleet pine]

from where

[slate swan]

When u hack account and see there's 2fa lol jk

[fleet pine]

wdym

[boreal ravine]

where you enabled your 2fa (google, authy)

[slate swan]

Hi sift

[echo wasp]

Thank you

[boreal ravine]

hi

[echo wasp]

How would I use len?

[boreal ravine]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#len

[oblique adder]

I suck at choosing color can anyone suggest any color combination ?

[mortal dove]

idk I think that looks pretty nice

[boreal ravine]

use the emoji kwarg in the button if you're using d.py for emojis

[oblique adder]

why ?

✅ < - Wouldn't that make my button look like this ?

[torn sail]

It would remove the black outline on the emoji

[boreal ravine]

yes

[supple thorn]

Master's name becomes more weirder the more i see him

[sick birch]

blurple for the first one gray for the 2nd

[echo wasp]

So py await channel.edit(name=f"{Len(guild.members)}")

[sick birch]

Green on green, red on red makes it hard to tell

[boreal ravine]

yes..

[echo wasp]

Docs not much of example

[oblique adder]

is it just me or it look a bit weird 🤔

[echo wasp]

Ummm error int has no attribute edit

[oblique adder]

can I use animated emoji in button ?

[boreal ravine]

yes, i think

[boreal ravine]

get the channel object

[echo wasp]

I did I provided the ID do I need to do get_channel(id)?

[torn sail]

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

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

[echo wasp]

await get_channel(id)

[boreal ravine]

yes..

[torn sail]

Nope

That’s fetch_channel

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @fervent shoal!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[fervent shoal]

dam

[echo wasp]

Just get_channel(id)

[torn sail]

Yes

[fervent shoal]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/saranuqidi
i understand i need to change the bots status to idle, idk how. got this code from the internet for some shits and giggles

[slate swan]

c = bot.get_channel(id) # from cache
c = await bot.fetch_channel(id) # api request

Get and fetch are different things, you dont need to await get_x methods

[slate swan]

Yellow and black

[oblique adder]

good idea thank you

[mortal dove]

Anyone know why this command isn't registering in discord?

    @app_commands.command()
    async def helpmessage(self, inter: Interaction, cog: str = None, group: str = None, command: str = None, ephemeral: bool = True):
      #...

The cog is loaded and commands are synced

[oblique adder]

are you overriding a on_connect() ?

[mortal dove]

No

[fervent shoal]

how do i set a listen thingy

[oblique adder]

try
@app_commands.command(
name="helpmessage", description="fdsadsadsa"
)

[oblique adder]

I think you might need to have command name

[fervent shoal]

so that the bot listens and responds instead of me doing a command

[supple thorn]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

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

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

Warning

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

[mortal dove]

Yeah still nothin

[supple thorn]

bruh

[fervent shoal]

where did dave come from

[supple thorn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.10)").

Example...

[fervent shoal]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(message):
print('logger module online')

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, ctx):
    now_utc = str(datetime.now(timezone.utc))
    now_unix =  str(time.time())
    serverNAME = ctx.guild.name
    serverID = ctx.guild.id
    userNAME = ctx.author.name
    userID = ctx.author.id
    channelNAME = ctx.channel.name
    channelID = ctx.channel.id
    message = ctx.content

now if i substitued the id stuff, it should work

[oblique adder]

did u turn on application command ? in the dev panel ?

[supple thorn]

on_message doesn't take ctx

[fervent shoal]

so remove ctx

[mortal dove]

wdym?

[supple thorn]

replace it with message

[mortal dove]

btw all of my other commands do register as slash, just not this one

[fervent shoal]

replace the self too?

[mortal dove]

Oh, yes I did @oblique adder

[supple thorn]

no it's in a class you need that

[fervent shoal]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message):
now_utc = str(datetime.now(timezone.utc))

[oblique adder]

u didn't have guilds_id ?

[fervent shoal]

i gotta now fix all the ctx after that, any idea on wht to change it too?

[oblique adder]

so wouldnt that make it a global ?

[mortal dove]

Yes

[oblique adder]

so It would take an hour have u waited that long ?

[simple kettle]

Is there a way where I can create commands that will only work if you dm the bot

[mortal dove]

The bot is in 3 servers, the effect it has on the bot is minimal

[mortal dove]

In the command, you can just add

if ctx.guild:
  return
``` Which just stops doing the command if the command was called in a guild

There's probably a commands. decorator for that too

[echo wasp]

Thx

[fervent shoal]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(message, ctx):
now_utc = str(datetime.now(timezone.utc))
now_unix = str(time.time())
serverNAME = ctx.guild.name
serverID = ctx.guild.id
userNAME = ctx.author.name
userID = ctx.author.id
channelNAME = ctx.channel.name
channelID = ctx.channel.id
message = ctx.content
?

[oblique adder]

you only need self and message as its args

[torn sail]

!d discord.ext.commands.dm_only

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.dm\_only

@discord.ext.commands.dm_only()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that indicates this command must only be used in a DM context. Only private messages are allowed when using the command.

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

New in version 1.1.

[oblique adder]

on_message doesnt take ctx

[fervent shoal]

?

what do i do with all the ctx under this then

[slate swan]

self is the first arg, message would be the second one

[oblique adder]

change it to message. and arrange the arg self to be the first one

[slate swan]

Is there any way in which we know if we can dm the user or not

without sending

[frozen patio]

I do it with my modmail bot

with a simple contact command

[slate swan]

create_dm ?

[slate swan]

Can u show

[torn sail]

There’s not point in create_dm honestly

[slate swan]

Oh..

[slate swan]

Member.dm_channel.permissions_for(bot.user).send_messages

would be true, if the member is DM-able

!d discord.DMChannel.permissions_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.DMChannel.permissions\_for

permissions_for(obj=None, /)```
Handles permission resolution for a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

This function is there for compatibility with other channel types.

Actual direct messages do not really have the concept of permissions.

This returns all the Text related permissions set to `True` except...

[oblique adder]

any error /

[slate swan]

actually no, this may be useless from how its documented

[torn sail]

Not sure if it works. It says “sets all perms to True except send tts messages and manage messages”

[fervent shoal]

no error, just doesnt work either

[slate swan]

indeed, just figured that out

[fervent shoal]

im not getting anything back

[slate swan]

Thanks :D

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[torn sail]

You would just have to send the message and catch an error

[slate swan]

you can un use try except blocks

[sick birch]

That's really the only way

It's a library limitation

[slate swan]

..

[sick birch]

Plus there's no reason for you to check if they're DMable using an if condition

[slate swan]

Im already using

try:
   await send("msg")
except discord.Forbidden:
   # dms closed

I was finding a simpler way

In my ban cmd mainly

First send msg that ur banned then ban

[fervent shoal]

why cant i get the stupid bot to respond back, am i missing something?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ucazogalew

[oblique adder]

have you enable intents ?

[supple thorn]

so not a api one

[oblique adder]

nope you didnt ic why now

[slate swan]

Nvmd

[oblique adder]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(message):
        print('logger module online')```
and why on_message instead of on_ready ?
also
why do you even import cProfile ?

[slate swan]

Ok

i think its an api limitation since i havent seen any library implementing a method/property to check if a Member/User is dm-able

Hmm

even from a normal user side you wont know if a user has their dms closed without actually dming them

[sick birch]

I meant API. my bad

[fervent shoal]

huh

[sick birch]

Pretty sure bots can't have friends

[slate swan]

discord.Member.is_friend there are methods of checking if someone is in your friendlist or not tho, "tho it works only for user accounts" so doesnt make sense here

it was in 1.7.3 im sure

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

[supple thorn]

i've never seen that before

[fervent shoal]

what is an intent

[slate swan]

click on the link, and now you do

removed in 2.x

[slate swan]

basically you tell your Client class what events you want to get using intents

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[fervent shoal]

so do i just add that ?

[slate swan]

what dpy version are you using

[fervent shoal]

tbh i dont think i am using it

i got this code of the internet

wait no i am

[slate swan]

you ain't using discord.py?

[fervent shoal]

its not in the imports 💀

[brisk dune]

Are you doing import discord?

[fervent shoal]

wait

yes, its just far down there

must fix the formating

ok so ive added the intent, still nothing

[sick birch]

Can we see the code?

[fervent shoal]

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/rogagucusa.py

[slate swan]

you didn't load the cog

remove to load function and do bot.add_cog(CogClass(bot))

[left crater]

It’s asynchronous now

If your using 2.0

[silver wolf]

I wonder if most ppl are gonna be switching back to discord.py 2.0 or if they’re gonna stick with their fork library 🤔

[slate swan]

if i were to choose, id just stick with a fork

but I don't use any of them, hikari pog

[brisk dune]

I'm sticking with pycord. The difference is minimal

[slate swan]

minimal? 2.x versions of both are too different

[brisk dune]

minimal for what I need

:)

[slate swan]

why did you choose pycord? Slash commands?

[brisk dune]

yeah

tbh i just stumbled upon it, and liked it

[slate swan]

well, dpy slash commands and pycord/any fork's slash command are too different

[modest harbor]

anyone know why? my discord.py is up to date

[echo wasp]

Ummm I keep getting errors and I don't know how to define guild

[slate swan]

why do you want to define guild?

[slate swan]

do you have some file named discord.py?

[echo wasp]

all i want is the member count on the vc channel

[slate swan]

any folder?

[fervent shoal]

where? sorry if im being stupid

[slate swan]

just look up for a def load

[modest harbor]

i dont think i created any of those

[slate swan]

mhm did you try reinstalling the Library?

[echo wasp]

@slate swan

[modest harbor]

with pip? yea

[fervent shoal]

where do i add bot.add_cog(CogClass(bot))

[gaunt ice]

show the cog file

[final iron]

mixedCase yikes

[echo wasp]

@fervent shoal can I see the file you start?

Like bot.py

Or main.py

[fervent shoal]

code from gitbruh moment

[fervent shoal]

i am incredibly stupid so i have no idea what you are asking of me

[final iron]

It's not from the official repo

[echo wasp]

How many files you have for your bot?

[fervent shoal]

1

i think

[echo wasp]

@final iron I can't find guild.members can you send me doc link?

[feral lichen]

i use to have this right but my brain isnt functioning, how would i make this see if they have the administrator permission ```py
if member.permissions == administrator:
await ctx.send("")
return

[final iron]

!d discord.Guild.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.members

property members```
A list of members that belong to this guild.

[echo wasp]

Well your on your own because I user multiple files not just one for cogs

[fervent shoal]

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/rogagucusa.py

@echo wasp this is all my code

[austere vale]

how do i fix this?

  @commands.command()
  @commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
  async def unban(self, ctx, user: nextcord.User, *, reason=None):
    await self.ctx.guild.unban(user=user, reason=reason)
    title = f"Unbanned {user}"
    description = f"I have successfully unbanned {user.mention} for reason: {reason}."
    embed=nextcord.Embed(title={title}, description=description, color=0xfd9fa1)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[echo wasp]

@final iron why doesn't this work properly I only get the number 1 in guild name but it doesn't do all members code:

 @commands.command(name="update", description="Updates the member count!")
    async def update(self, ctx):
        guild = self.client.get_guild(8048646776012184977438)

        await channel.edit(name=f"{len(guild.members)}")
        await ctx.send("Member count has been updated!")```

[feral lichen]

i dont think you have to put {title} just title

[final iron]

Do you have intents?

[austere vale]

oh but whats wrong with the ctx.send part?

[echo wasp]

i think so

[final iron]

Show them

[feral lichen]

i think thats why lmfao

[austere vale]

o

[feral lichen]

if it doesnt work lmk

[austere vale]

uhh no its still the same error

[feral lichen]

ight ill fix it

youre in a cog right

[austere vale]

ye

[echo wasp]

I define intents in main file do I need to provide intents in cog aswell?

[slate swan]

no need for self

[final iron]

No

[fervent shoal]

still do be needing help

[feral lichen]

its a cog lmao u need self

[slate swan]

you do not.

[final iron]

self.ctx.guild?

[slate swan]

self.ctx ?

lmao

[austere vale]

self.ctx.guild.send?

[slate swan]

💀

[final iron]

You shouldn't be using self

[austere vale]

not even in a cog?

[slate swan]

that's not his problem

its a basic attribute error

😳self.ctx.message.author.guild

🗿

[austere vale]

oh but i wanted it to send in the channel that i type the command in

[feral lichen]

i use to have this right but my brain isnt functioning, how would i make this see if they have the administrator permission ```py
if member.permissions == administrator:
await ctx.send("")
return

[slate swan]

just do ctx.send()

    @commands.command(name='mute', description='mute a user from all channels', usage='mute (user) [duration] [reason]', aliases='timeout')
    async def mute(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, time=None):
        role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="muted")
        if role not in ctx.guild.roles:
            perms = discord.Permissions(send_messages=False, speak=False)
            await guild.create_role(name="muted", permissions=perms)
        if time:
            if self.convert(time) > -1:
                if time:
                    tempmute = self.convert(time)
                    await member.add_roles(role)
                    await ctx.send(f"**{member}** has been muted 👍")
                    await asyncio.sleep(tempmute)
                    await member.remove_roles(role)
        elif not time:
            await member.add_roles(role)
            await ctx.send(f"**{member}** has been muted 👍")

how do i make it so it sets the channel perms for the role instead of just the global role perms?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_permissions or, if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.has_permissions(**perms)```
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 has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the guild wide permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under [`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions").

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

[feral lichen]

i did that and it was returning null values ig ill try again

[austere vale]

yeah i have

  @commands.command()
  @commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
  async def unban(self, ctx, user: nextcord.User, *, reason=None):
    await self.ctx.guild.unban(user=user, reason=reason)

    embed=nextcord.Embed(title=title, description=description, color=0xfd9fa1)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Does anyone know why I'm getting this error? Code -> https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ucemasikar
I call the classes with

view = HelpMenu().add_item(CogSelect(self.bot))

Basically, I'm trying to create a modular view where I can add different parts depending on what the user is looking at (main help menu, specific cog, etc.)

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.

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

bro the traceback said where the error was

!trace

[unkempt canyon]

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.

[slate swan]

[simple kettle]

Is there a limit to how many .add_field you can put a embed on. cause i tried putting 37 through a loop and some are missing

[torn sail]

There is a limit

Not sure what it is

[errant olive]

Created my first bot.
tried to start it.
Got rate limited.
Is this normal?

[sick birch]

You're bound by the 6000 character limit

[sick birch]

Are you using replit?

[errant olive]

yeah

[sick birch]

That explains it

Don't use replit

[stray flicker]

repl.it is trash.it for discord bots

[errant olive]

why not?

[sterile hamlet]

wait really im using it aswell lol

[errant olive]

using discord.js on replit does not rate limit me

[errant olive]

but free.
I have 0 money

[torn sail]

Did u do super().__init__() in CogSelect’s __init__

[stray flicker]

I'd rather use other free hosts

[errant olive]

Like?

[mortal dove]

Yep

[stray flicker]

I can't recall the name but it have 1gb ram, enough storage and cpu power

[slate swan]

your programming language and Library has nothing to do with discord ratelimits

[stray flicker]

discord bots don't take much power anyways

[sick birch]

Oracle free tier, AWS free tier

[errant olive]

Well. My discord.js bot runs fine on Replit.
My discord.py does not

[sick birch]

That doesn't matter

[stray flicker]

^

[sick birch]

Rate limiting is done server-side, so your wrapper doesn't matter

Using discord.js does not give you a higher rate limit

[slate swan]

sounds like a you issue, since there are already people using replit with discord.py

[sick birch]

It's really not

[errant olive]

Well. I dont know what to tell you.
never got rate limited with Discord.js.
Didnt get it to work with discord.py

[sick birch]

Replit is notorious for being very bad at hosting

[errant olive]

so I should switch to aws?

[stoic galleon]

it's shared ip hosting it's bad

[sick birch]

Coincidence. Replit is very unreliable and it's very feasible that it just happened to not work at the moment

[sick iris]

how can i add more things to a json file

[sick birch]

That's not even a question. That or oracle free tier

[errant olive]

which one would you prefer?

[stray flicker]

anyone except replit 😆

[sick birch]

I personally use AWS but oracle free tier is heralded as well

Mostly because my bot has a dashboard and I need a domain as well

And I also use S3 for some features

[slate swan]

Google cloud services is a good option too

[errant olive]

I assume it's harder to use?

[sick birch]

any of the big ones really

[sick birch]

It's meant for professionals like large companies and startups alike, so the interface is a bit tricky but that's because it has a lot of features

[sterile hamlet]

quick question has anyone made a twitter api discord bot?

[sick birch]

"twitter api discord bot" clarify?

[errant olive]

is it free?

[stoic galleon]

what do you mean

[sick birch]

they probably have a free tier

[sick iris]

nvm

[sick birch]

most do just so they can rope you into their paid plans

[stoic galleon]

isn't heroku a free host

[sick birch]

Heroku is just as bad as replit

[slate swan]

yeah there's a free tier which you can use for 1 year, given that you need a Credit card/any payment validation

[stoic galleon]

mhm i feel like vps is the only good option

[errant olive]

but only free for 1 year? right?

[sick birch]

Yup

[errant olive]

ill stick to aws then

[oblique adder]

can I get the id for PartialInteractionMessage ?

[sick birch]

For small-medium sized bots you can use a raspberry PI or some old laptop

[slate swan]

aws gives only one year too

[sterile hamlet]

so all the code is written in python, im using tweepy to stream certain users tweets in real time save them and then post to discord using a discord bot. I have a problem tho where both bots don't work together. whichever code is on top runs and the other doesnt

[sick birch]

Yeah that's how "blocking" works

You'll either have to thread it or find some other pub/sub method

And also twitter has a webhook you don't even have to write any code

[errant olive]

replit is free forever. any other service that is that?

[echo wasp]

How do I get just the count out of this? [<Member id=893853683136217118 name="Bro's SMP Bot" discriminator='7548' bot=True nick=None guild=<Guild id=8048640554184977438 name="Bro's Gun Server (Season 1)" shard_id=None chunked=False member_count=81>>]

[sick birch]

oracle has very powerful machines, free forever

they do charge you $1 to make sure you enter a valid cc

[sterile hamlet]

thats why i was asking if anyone has done anything similar cause i've been tryna thread it, multiprocess, async whatever but thanks anyway

[sick birch]

use twitter's webhooks
