discord-bots

[slate swan]

Nope

In 2.0 it works

[livid elk]

python3 -m pip install -U discord.py?

something like that

[slate swan]

No

[paper sluice]

u need to git clone it

[slate swan]

It's a development version, so not on PyPI

[livid elk]

oh

but it worked on local machine

is it the rapptz repo

[slate swan]

Yes

[paper sluice]

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/rapptz/discord.py

[livid elk]

oh i remeber that command

now i remember

thanks it works

[slate swan]

hi

[feral lichen]

i recc bot-hosting.net i use it and its really cheap but since urs seems more complicated idk just logging into ptreodactyl is odd at first and imports but i'd say its good

took some time, currently working on an anti nuke rn which is easier than expected

[supple thorn]

Damn i wanted to see it's source code

[slate swan]

        msg = await self.bot.get_partial_messageable(channel).fetch_message(id)
        dsd = [users.id for reaction in msg.reactions if reaction.emoji == '\U0001f389' async for users in reaction.users() if option == 1 for i in await msg.guild.invites() if i.inviter == users and i.uses < number]

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

why this is None

😑

Do you or someone else use it in DMs? In that case msg.guild would be None. If not we need more context

[potent spear]

correct intents are also important

[slate swan]

its in guild

[potent spear]

most important note: you should get the message, probably no reason to fetch it

[placid skiff]

msg is a variable
msg = await self.bot.get_partial_messageable(channel).fetch_message(id)
this returns None

[potent spear]

also, I see you like list comprehension, but readability is also important

[slate swan]

no

[placid skiff]

but until we know what is channel and id we could not know why

[slate swan]

No

[placid skiff]

bro read
msg =

[slate swan]

this works fine ... for reaction in msg.reactions

Read the error

yes

.

yes

[placid skiff]

Yup, msg.guild.invites
read what is msg

[slate swan]

It would be 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'guild' if message is None

[slate swan]

bro

[slate swan]

yes

It's just error reading

[slate swan]

What if you print the msg variable and its type?

[slate swan]

um wait

<class 'disnake.message.Message'>
<Message id=968800945142104114 channel=<Object id=966647744196382750> type=<MessageType.default: 0> author=<User id=931480587829653555 name='Sluppy' discriminator='6431' bot=True> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>

LOL

Enable the guilds intent

PS: There we have another confirmation msg.guild is None and not msg.

[slate swan]

intents are true

Which ones have you enabled?

And when you create the bot variable?

[slate swan]

class Sluppy(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_prefix=prefix, intents=intents)

    def setup(self):
        self.add_view(RowButtons(bot))

    def run(self):
        super().run(token=tokens)
        self.setup()
bot =  Sluppy()

[paper sluice]

are prefix and intets global vars?

[paper sluice]

oh didnt see this nvm

[slate swan]

..

[paper sluice]

ya whats the prob, im late

[slate swan]

.

[paper sluice]

what did u run?

[slate swan]

msg = await self.bot.get_partial_messageable(channel).fetch_message(id)

this return that

hi?

[feral lichen]

why not use discord.intents.all()?

[slate swan]

does it matter?

[feral lichen]

or distake.intents.all()

[slate swan]

No it doesn't matter

[feral lichen]

no just enables everything

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

alr ill change it later

Just make sure you enable all privileged intents in the developer portal

[paper sluice]

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.Bot.get_partial_messageable

[slate swan]

Which you might not have access to once your bot gets verified

So I would recommend to only enable the ones you really need and not all just because someone said so

let me check again

in dev portal

[vale wing]

I have VPS

[vale wing]

It's in 20 guilds so far

[slate swan]

cool

[vale wing]

If I build a server I will host it there

[feral lichen]

ight

[vale wing]

Cause cloud hosting doesn't exist for russians now

[slate swan]

imagine hosting bot in a usb

[vale wing]

😩

[slate swan]

and connect it to mobile charger

[feral lichen]

oh, i didnt know you were russian, and cloud hosting for russians aint good'

[vale wing]

Raspberry pi be like

[slate swan]

lol

[potent spear]

#965291480992321536

[slate swan]

ye

[vale wing]

We just get cards blocked by eu services

[feral lichen]

im guessing for the ukraine shit

[vale wing]

Not our business this is discord bots

[feral lichen]

ah

[feral lichen]

why so tho

[potent spear]

isn't that obvious?

[feral lichen]

i asked?

either that or my brain is the guy in my pfp

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[potent spear]

war ~ companies don't want to support "the wrong side" ...

[feral lichen]

i asked and he said not our business just discord bots lmfao

but idk then

[slate swan]

i want a pfp for my bot

[supple thorn]

Then make one

[slate swan]

google is here

[supple thorn]

Yes but you said you're going to shut it down soon

[tired hinge]

if i was to create a @tasks.loop which repeated a method every hour,
will the loop reset if my bot goes down? if yes, can i prevent it from doing so?

[slate swan]

anyone pls help me

[potent spear]

only thing I'm thinking about is storing the last loop run time for persistency

[supple thorn]

With what

[livid elk]

somebody explain to me COGS

[tidal hawk]

I'd say these are just different files where you can store different commands

You can also change the code inside there and reload the file - update the bot without restarting it

Awesome for categorizing

[jade tartan]

    file=discord.File('rickerd.png', filename = "rickerd.png")
    e.set_image(url= "Desktop/discord server bot/rickerd.png")
    await ctx.send(file=file, embed=e)```
Is that the right way to have the bot send an embed image?

[livid elk]

ah i remember somebody told me bout that

[tidal hawk]

Nope

[jade tartan]

how is it done?

[tidal hawk]

First of all the file location in your pc ain't url

[livid elk]

ye

url is WEB

[jade tartan]

well the image is in my desktop folder

[tidal hawk]

embed.set_image(file=discord.File(path))

[jade tartan]

embed.set_image(file=discord.File(Desktop/discord server bot/rickerd.png))

[tidal hawk]

""

It must be a string and I think you have to specify the disk aswell

[jade tartan]

embed.set_image(file=discord.File("C:\Desktop/discord server bot/rickerd.png"))

[tidal hawk]

yeah try it

[jade tartan]

doesnt work

[slate swan]

That's not how it works

[tidal hawk]

Error?

[slate swan]

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[slate swan]

You can see an example here on how adding local images to an embed work ^

It's also in their FAQ https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-use-a-local-image-file-for-an-embed-image

[tidal hawk]

Oh sorry, It works in disnake XD

Boo discord.py

[jade tartan]

am using py not disnake @tidal hawk

its different

[tidal hawk]

Yeah I figured it after you said it doesn't work

Thought that Discord.py allows the same thing

[slate swan]

disnake does the same thing with the file kwarg but internally

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/disnake/embeds.py#L449-L455

[unkempt canyon]

disnake/embeds.py lines 449 to 455

if file:

    self._image = {"url": f"attachment://{file.filename}"}

Do i have to specify the disc?

@slate swan

[tidal hawk]

If the image directory isn't in the same folder where ur bot is, then I'd also specify the disk

[slate swan]

I would overall not use spaces for development folder names

[jade tartan]

file = discord.File("file:///C:\Users\thoma\Desktop\discord server bot/line.png", filename="line.png") well it is directed to a folder when my bot is located

[slate swan]

C:Desktop is for sure wrong

That's not Windows's structure if you have it on your Desktop

C:\Users\<Username>\Desktop is the path when using the file explorer

And if you run the bot script in the discord server bot folder, then you can just use line.png as file.

[potent spear]

you should use pathlib for this

~relative paths

[slate swan]

Also note that using spaces in file and folder names is horrible in development

[drifting arrow]

spaces are fun

[potent spear]

from pathlib import Path

linefile_path = Path(__file__).parent / 'line.png'```
here ya go x
note, this only works if the python file is in the same directory as the line.png

[tidal hawk]

What does the x mean behind the sentence?

[potent spear]

it's a kiss

[drifting arrow]

in other words, disregard it

[tidal hawk]

but what's double xx?

[drifting arrow]

disregard it.

[potent spear]

don't

[tidal hawk]

What's xoxo

[drifting arrow]

Disregard it. You dont know this stranger. dont accept kisses from them.

How do we know you havent been kissing other people?!

[potent spear]

does that matter?

[drifting arrow]

For me it does

[tidal hawk]

Let's seE wHat My BoT sAys

[potent spear]

there's some jealousy involved I see

[jade tartan]

    file = discord.File("file:///C:\Users\thoma\Desktop\discordserverbot/line.png", filename="line.png")
                                                                                  ^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 10-11: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape```

[drifting arrow]

woo \o/

[potent spear]

maybe start checking what helpers wrote

[jade tartan]

(__file__) whats this for?

the file directory

[drifting arrow]

remove the spaces in the file and folder names. replace them with underscores _ or use camel case DiscordServerBot

[potent spear]

refers to the current file

[potent spear]

nah, just don't hardcode the path

[drifting arrow]

lol

[jade tartan]

linefile_path = Path(file:///C:\Users\thoma\Desktop\discord_server_bot/line.png).parent / 'line.png')

[potent spear]

never wrote that

[boreal ravine]

Huh, that looks similar to my command

[potent spear]

you have to literally type __file__ my guy

[jade tartan]

async def verify5(ctx):
    channel = client.get_channel(967788019526561822)
    file = discord.File("file:///C:\Users\thoma\Desktop\discord_server_bot/line.png", filename="line.png")

    embed = discord.Embed()
    embed.set_image(url="attachment://line.png")
    await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)```

[potent spear]

file = discord.File(linefile_path, filename="line.png")```

then you're done

obv define it UNDER the linefile_path

[potent spear]

maybe start reading what I type?

[tidal hawk]

x

[jade tartan]

i know what you mean there

[boreal ravine]

Why are you using OneDrive

[clever field]

how to get values ​​from a string separated by a space ?

class con:
    async def console(self):
        ask = input(">")
        if ask == "exit":
            exit()
        elif ask == "ban HERE_ID":
            result = subprocess.run('ls')
        else:
            print("я нихуя не нашел")

[potent spear]

not really bot related, is it?

[boreal ravine]

ask.split()

[tidal hawk]

x

[clever field]

Dev console

[boreal ravine]

@tidal hawk you ok?

[tidal hawk]

xo

[jade tartan]

well that happened when i tried putting the photo on a web browser it came up as the file director

y

[boreal ravine]

no reason

[potent spear]

this will block your whole bot...

asking for input in console is blocking... unless you're working with some CLI which is independent of your main bot

[clever field]

nope, is async. sometimes I can't log into discord, so I do the console

[potent spear]

you can't login to discord, but the bot is still online?

[flint isle]

I did more console art cause I was bored and I love the turnout

[slate swan]

Error

[slate swan]

Nice

[potent spear]

you can probably make it instantly appear, by using newline
unless you already are

[flint isle]

I'm using sleep lines to make it look like older consoles lineby line

[potent spear]

I wouldn't do that

[flint isle]

If anyone has any tips on how to make the parts scroll across like of terminal id love thay.

[potent spear]

#python-discussion ig

[flint isle]

Yo thanks man

[flint isle]

It's on a secondary file so it dose t clutter my main code

[buoyant zodiac]

you could literally do this w pystyle in a couple of seconds

[flint isle]

Lmao I didn't know that existed

[supple thorn]

I didn't see your first name and only saw powell

My brain immediately thought of James Powell

[flint isle]

Lmao

[supple thorn]

Thought "He's a furry?"

I immediately looked into your github

[flint isle]

Lmao

[supple thorn]

I was thinking "There is no fucking way this is James Powell" while github was loading

Lmfao

[flint isle]

Dude seeing your response made my day so much better. You have yourself a wonderful day. And may you catch all your coding errors.

[supple thorn]

Nice to think i made someone's day also thanks even though the day for me is almost done kek

[buoyant zodiac]

Yea you can do it w colors and color fading and shit it's dope

[supple thorn]

This immediately made me think of the old ass tv terminal thing

[flint isle]

That's whay I'm trying to emulate :)

[flint isle]

I wish they documented the animation capabilities lol I liked the stuff I saw so far

[supple thorn]

https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term

This?

[flint isle]

Yeah I like the way the green one scrolls but I need to find a python module

[supple thorn]

Also when i saw your about me i just thought "if this is james powell, he is sussy af"

[slate swan]

you should use colorama to make the text colorful

[supple thorn]

Hi okimii

what is get_partial_messageable

why are you trying to one line the dsd? Just making it complicated for yourself.

[buoyant zodiac]

bro could u help me please... when i get out of school i'll send u mine

[livid hinge]

is it possible to remove someone's ability to ping anyone? 😄

[flint isle]

The emojis

[paper sluice]

make a role which doesn't have ping perms and give it to them?

[livid hinge]

hmm, I'll tty, thx

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[potent spear]

have you tried it?

[cold sonnet]

not dpy server is it

[potent spear]

yup, I was confused for half a sec

[flint isle]

I was like where's the commands name

[boreal ravine]

yes

[potent spear]

removed out of shame

please, for the love of god, add an
else in your error handler
also, use elif

[quaint epoch]

how come when i tried this py @commands.command() async def ticket(self, ctx, reason): ... @ticket.on_error async def tick_error(self, ctx, error): await ctx.send(f'An error occurred while opening a ticket - `{error}`') raises an error that says command objects have no on_error attribute? im using the latest disnake version

[cold sonnet]

it's just error

not on_error

[potent spear]

^^

[quaint epoch]

o

[boreal ravine]

ticket.error

[livid hinge]

they are doing some post where theres like 200 zero-width-space chars, which seems to stop the mention from showing up in their message

[quaint epoch]

!d disnake.ext.commands.Command.error

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Command.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an [`on_command_error()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.disnake.ext.commands.on_command_error "disnake.disnake.ext.commands.on_command_error") event limited to
a single command. However, the [`on_command_error()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.disnake.ext.commands.on_command_error "disnake.disnake.ext.commands.on_command_error") is still
invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

[quaint epoch]

nice

[boreal ravine]

who?

[potent spear]

can't understand you

[cold sonnet]

he asks how

[quaint epoch]

they are asking how to use elifs

!elif

[livid hinge]

someone in a server i help with

[quaint epoch]

!d elif

[unkempt canyon]

elif

8.1. The if statement

The if statement is used for conditional execution:

if_stmt ::=  "if" assignment_expression ":" suite
             ("elif" assignment_expression ":" suite)*
             ["else" ":" suite]
``` It selects exactly one of the suites by evaluating the expressions one by one until one is found to be true (see section [Boolean operations](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#booleans) for the definition of true and false); then that suite is executed (and no other part of the [`if`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#if) statement is executed or evaluated). If all expressions are false, the suite of the [`else`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#else) clause, if present, is executed.

[boreal ravine]

i see

[cold sonnet]

but natixe does it work

not if you give x a letter or word

or if it's missing

add

else:
    raise error 
```at the end of your error handlers

cuz they'll just eat up errors like this

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[potent spear]

^^

[boreal ravine]

Wrong token

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[cold sonnet]

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

[potent spear]

great copy paste

[cold sonnet]

thanks

[boreal ravine]

there should be a command that converts a txt file into a pastebin link

[potent spear]

that would be too spammy

people should do the effort themselves

Althought, there's an existing bot which has this feature

[boreal ravine]

spammy how?

[livid hinge]

!charinfo |​|

[unkempt canyon]

Character Info

\u007c : VERTICAL LINE - |
\u200b : ZERO WIDTH SPACE - ​
\u007c : VERTICAL LINE - |

Full Raw Text

\u007c\u200b\u007c

[potent spear]

big files => lot of data => rip bandwith

[boreal ravine]

Wrong token

[potent spear]

error says it all

[cold sonnet]

improper token has been passed

[livid hinge]

one more question, how does "syncing commands" work? if I run a bot that uses the same token as a different bot, but it has no commands , and I've got sync_commands=True, will this cause all of the original commands to disappear? I'm kind of thinking yes because it listed them all as "commands to delete" when I pass sync_commands_debug=True

[cold sonnet]

same token?

there's no such thing as bots with the same token

or do you mean running two scripts for the same bot?

[supple thorn]

He probably meant it as the bots as scripts

[maiden fable]

sync commands just sends discord, the command metadata like the name and desc among other stuff and discord just gets the bot from the token u supplied and "adds" the commands to the db

[flint isle]

How can I hard code a guild and channel into ctx send so I can have a startup notifier

[tired hinge]

how can i send a message in a channel every hour?

tasks.loop or smth like that?

[maiden fable]

mhm

[flint isle]

Lol I lost my old code that I had done that in a while ago

[maiden fable]

@flint isle I would be happy to help you but wanted to say something

Please always try to understand what is happening in a piece of code and then write it

Anyways

!d discord.Client.get_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_guild

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

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

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`.
If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must
be provided...

[flint isle]

Yeah I try to understand it so I can use it in different cases

[flint isle]

Where does this come into play lol

[maiden fable]

u get the guild and then get_channel?

Or just client.get_channel idk

[flint isle]

Would I use bot.get_guild ? Since I don't use client in mine

[regal pulsar]

@bot.command()
async def alert(ctx: commands.Context, amt: int, *, txt: str):
    while true:
        await ctx.channel.send(txt)
        await asyncio.sleep(amt)

[maiden fable]

Mhm

[zenith mural]

!gem_red

[placid skiff]

It is a way but tasks are better

[regal pulsar]

probably get guild then iterate over channels

[livid hinge]

so it would affect the popup menu probably but not the actual running of the command?

[regal pulsar]

if channel.id == x

channel = that

[maiden fable]

Yea, it only effects the popup menu when u edit the metadata

[maiden fable]

Bro

!d discord.Guild.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

get_channel(channel_id, /)```
Returns a channel with the given ID.

Note

This does *not* search for threads...

[regal pulsar]

oh

[tired hinge]

how can i fetch a channel from a guild

[regal pulsar]

^

[tired hinge]

oh the timing

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[flint isle]

I'm getting name "send" is noy defined

[placid skiff]

if you need it to work for specific guilds

[regal pulsar]

what

send is a coroutine

[flint isle]

    print('Waiting For Commands')
    ready = ' true'
    bot.get_guild(798726719573065749)
    bot.get_channel(798726720181633047)
    await send('Bot Online!')

[tired hinge]

how do i get a guild in the first place?

[livid hinge]

bot.get_channel might work too

[placid skiff]

[livid hinge]

are you calling it on a channel

[flint isle]

I don't understand what your asking

[regal pulsar]

@bot.command()
async def alert(ctx: commands.Context, channel: discord.TextChannel):
    await channel.send("Hello")

depends on what you want to do

[tired hinge]

no, like, to use guild.get_channel

[regal pulsar]

you could just add the channel as an argument

[livid hinge]

for this code, ch = bot.get_channel(...) await ch.send(...) maybe

[regal pulsar]

what are you trying to do

[tired hinge]

in a tasks.loop

[tired hinge]

send a message every hour in a specific channel using tasks.loop

so to use guild.get_channel, how do i get guild in the first place

[livid hinge]

its ok the answer was no lol

[regal pulsar]

again

it depends

[flint isle]

Ok I added channel = before the chann get and the channel. Before the send and it worked

[regal pulsar]

do you want it to start sending messages with a command

or when it joins a guild

[unkempt jewel]

it is not about code but my code didnt have error, but when i type command it wont reply me

[regal pulsar]

or what

[tired hinge]

like as soon as the bot starts, i'd like to start the tasks.loop

[regal pulsar]

send the code

[tired hinge]

and start sending a msg in a channel per hour

[regal pulsar]

ok then

[quaint epoch]

preferably before running bot.run() do func.start()

[tired hinge]

is there a method to get guild with id?

[regal pulsar]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    pass

[livid hinge]

make sur you don't forget await on the send call

[tired hinge]

noted ty

[quaint epoch]

or in a __init__ method in a cog

[regal pulsar]

use on_ready

[unkempt jewel]

[regal pulsar]

ive never used tasks.loop

gimme a sec

[unkempt jewel]

i did

[regal pulsar]

at the top add from discord.ext import commands

lol

[quaint epoch]

i prefer not to do it in on_ready, do nothing in on ready, just maybe a few prints but api calls are a no no

[regal pulsar]

how come

[unkempt jewel]

i did in lines 5

[regal pulsar]

oh

im blind 💀

wait

[slate swan]

Yo

[unkempt jewel]

this is log

[slate swan]

👋

[unkempt jewel]

no error

[regal pulsar]

oh i know why

[unkempt jewel]

why-y

[slate swan]

??

[livid hinge]

also check the output for a message like "command x not found"

[regal pulsar]

you started your presence in on_ready

[quaint epoch]

i tried to do a bunch of api calls once in on_ready, (try to send every single user the bot could see "hello!"), pretty bad mistake, got a bunch of 429s and ratelimits

[tired hinge]

what's the command to get a guild with its id-

[unkempt jewel]

yea

[slate swan]

"Emotional support"

[regal pulsar]

dont

[quaint epoch]

bot.get_guild(id)

[tired hinge]

tytyty

[regal pulsar]

that stops your bot from doing anything else

[unkempt jewel]

why

[regal pulsar]

use this

[quaint epoch]

no?

[livid hinge]

that does seem ill advised 😵‍💫

[unkempt jewel]

ohhhhh

[slate swan]

Yo whats going on?

[quaint epoch]

lol

[regal pulsar]

it does

[quaint epoch]

a single presence update never hurt anyone

[slate swan]

What(????

[regal pulsar]

activity=disnake.Activity(type=disnake.ActivityType.watching, name="something")

[unkempt jewel]

use what :000

[regal pulsar]

add this in commands.Bot

[quaint epoch]

oh is that what you meant? okay

[regal pulsar]

and get rid of the activity thing in on_ready

[regal pulsar]

yep

[unkempt jewel]

ok wait

[slate swan]

Hi?

[slate swan]

disnake 😔

[regal pulsar]

hey

[unkempt jewel]

disnake is not defined

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[regal pulsar]

change it to discord

[tired hinge]

do guild & channel ids have to be strings or ints?

[regal pulsar]

ints

[slate swan]

Disnake is cool

[slate swan]

ints

[regal pulsar]

very

[tired hinge]

alr

[slate swan]

Ye

all ids are to be integers in all the methods

"Very cool " u don't even need ac

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[unkempt jewel]

didnt reply

[slate swan]

py-cord uwuer

[unkempt jewel]

and it have no error

[slate swan]

Ur cpu will work as an air conditioner

[regal pulsar]

hmm

[slate swan]

If u use disnake

[regal pulsar]

wait

[slate swan]

py-cord? What's that

[placid skiff]

a joke essentially

[regal pulsar]

oh no wonder

lmfao

[maiden fable]

I agree

[unkempt jewel]

[maiden fable]

@unkempt jewel did u import disnake

[unkempt jewel]

i didnt use disnake, i changed it to discord....

@unkempt jewel

[unkempt jewel]

thanks

[regal pulsar]

lol

i saw that

someone ask for help im bored 😩

[flint isle]

thx

[unkempt jewel]

it didnt work for me wtf

[regal pulsar]

is that all your code

[unkempt jewel]

yes

[regal pulsar]

hmm

[slate swan]

greatest discord api wrapper for any language

[regal pulsar]

lol

try the ping cmd @unkempt jewel

[unkempt jewel]

ping comands?

[regal pulsar]

.ping

[livid hinge]

this looks kind of familiar

[regal pulsar]

bot template moment

[livid hinge]

help pls

[regal pulsar]

are you stuck

[slate swan]

stop with the double meanings

[unkempt jewel]

yea i only need 8ball commands

[livid hinge]

idk,need help coming up with my question

[flint isle]

how do i make optional int?

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[slate swan]

what even is an optional int-

[unkempt jewel]

didt work Emotion

[regal pulsar]

what

[quaint epoch]

wrong reply

[regal pulsar]

oh

[quaint epoch]

async def func(ctx, optional_arg: int=0)

[flint isle]

thx

[regal pulsar]

does the bot have perms

to send msgs in that channel

[regal pulsar]

what

[slate swan]

make sure the bot is in the server and has permissions to send messages to that channel

[regal pulsar]

isnt it

[unkempt jewel]

it does

my bot even has highest role

[slate swan]

just saw

[visual island]

@unkempt jewel What's your discord.py version? If it's 2.0.0a (the master branch) you need to enable message_content intent.

[unkempt jewel]

how to check the version huh

[regal pulsar]

@bot.command()
async def func(ctx: commands.Context, amt: int = None):
    if int is None:
        await ctx.channel.send("Nothing here")
    else:
        await ctx.channel.send(amt)

[placid skiff]

type pip freeze in your terminal

[regal pulsar]

pip freeze

[regal pulsar]

oh

^

im using v1.7.3

[slate swan]

print(discord.__version__) exists or pip show discord.py exists

[flint isle]

i should correct my saying to optiona argument lol

[regal pulsar]

yikes

[quaint epoch]

bruv

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied mute to @unkempt jewel until <t:1651065216:f> (9 minutes and 59 seconds) (reason: newlines rule: sent 128 newlines in 10s).

[quaint epoch]

good bot

[regal pulsar]

ah

[livid hinge]

i got a question now. is it possible to see if any other instances of the bot are running?

[quaint epoch]

(pat pat)

[regal pulsar]

dm it to me @unkempt jewel

[flint isle]

oops lmao

[regal pulsar]

idts

[quaint epoch]

run a ping command

[regal pulsar]

how would that help

[quaint epoch]

oh you mean by the bot itself?

[regal pulsar]

or

[slate swan]

must have cost a hell of a brain to come up with that

[quaint epoch]

multiple instances would send the response

[regal pulsar]

you could just run the default help command

unless the other instance has it disabled

it should send twice if its 2 instances

[quaint epoch]

and risk sending 3 different messages with 1000 characters each?

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[livid hinge]

like my own ping command ?

[flint isle]

yes

[livid hinge]

hm that could work

[flint isle]

how can i make the optional arg i had trouble trying to extract one from the msg

[maiden fable]

sad

[livid hinge]

could make an not-visible channel to send it in i guess

[regal pulsar]

put arg = None

so

[livid hinge]

i try ☺️

[regal pulsar]

def func(arg1: int, arg2: int = None):
    pass

[flint isle]

what does pass do?

[regal pulsar]

nothing

[velvet compass]

!unmute 720991106048720916

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: pardoned infraction mute for @unkempt jewel.

[regal pulsar]

im just too lazy to put something inside

[regal pulsar]

thanks

[velvet compass]

Please use the pastebin for long files

Also, ytdl breaks ToS

[regal pulsar]

ytdl?

[flint isle]

youtube dl

[regal pulsar]

oh that

[flint isle]

lmao still have it cloned on my github from a while ago. its just sitting there dormant

[regal pulsar]

same lmao

[livid hinge]

it's possible to send the ping to the bot's DM?

[maiden fable]

Run a command see how many responses u get?

[boreal ravine]

Nope

[regal pulsar]

both instances might not have the same commands

[maiden fable]

Well that's the only way 🤷‍♂️
Or u can always reset yr token

[regal pulsar]

lol

theres another tho

just run the default help cmd

unless the other instance has it disabled

it should send it x amount of times

[livid hinge]

this looks useful
https://github.com/Ext-Creators/discord-ext-ipc
too bad it seemed to be abandoned

[slate swan]

it doesnt tell you the number of instances

so pretty useless

[livid hinge]

should work i think

@my_bot.ipc.route()
async def get_member_count(data):
    guild = my_bot.get_guild(data.guild_id)  # get the guild object using parsed guild_id

    return guild.member_count  # return the member count to the client

if __name__ == "__main__":
    my_bot.ipc.start()  # start the IPC Server
    my_bot.run("TOKEN")```  looks nice

[maiden fable]

discord.ext.ipc, right?

[livid hinge]

yes!

[maiden fable]

Helpful in killing any other unknown instances

[maiden fable]

Thought so haha

[livid hinge]

maybe for stats collection too

looks like it uses a small Quart server to do its thing

[maiden fable]

Iirc it just opens a websocket connection to the server

[slate swan]

irrelevant

[livid hinge]

maybe you don't need to manually manage the server

[slate swan]

Back

[maiden fable]

Well, I would have instead created a client side websocket and use another VPS to connect to the same and access data

[amber bloom]

Hello is there possible to block link from About me section in python with a bot?

[maiden fable]

Bots can't access About Mes

[placid skiff]

well you can make something like if an user has a link in his about me you will give him a role which doesn't have access to your guild except a channel where you explain to him why he can't view other channels

but force others to change their about me is extremely

take me for example, i have my website

why I should remove it to join your guild

[amber bloom]

We have a strict policy because at 99%, no one respects or other... We have already contacted members by private message asking nicely, we get insulted most of the time so sorry if it doesn't suit you but we have no more time to waste unnecessarily to be insulted for free.

but how to detect, witch function can i use for make this? why not, i'l listen all suggestion...

[tired hinge]

agree

though, can you see a user's about me with the discord api?

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_guild

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

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

[tired hinge]

there you go

[flint isle]

thanks lol

[paper sluice]

gm

[placid skiff]

probably not

[maiden fable]

No

[cloud dawn]

👋

[ashen perch]

anyone know a good place for bot hosting?

[cloud dawn]

netcup

For eu

[ashen perch]

ye eu is what im looking for

is it expensive?

[cloud dawn]

5,55 for decent specs

[ashen perch]

not bad

[cloud dawn]

• 1000mbps ⬆️ ⬇️

[vocal plover]

80TB traffic for that price is

[cloud dawn]

I don't see how you can reach 80tb/ month with a Discord bot lol

[maiden fable]

@ashen perch just get the free Oracle VPS if it's a hobby

[cloud dawn]

5,55 for pursueing a hobby is not much.

[vocal plover]

Of course this is a personal opinion so do your own research but I'd personally say you should avoid Oracle due to them being generally pretty far from ethical

[potent spear]

#965291480992321536 link?

[maiden fable]

Mind explaining what u mean? Never knew that

[vocal plover]

Oracle is pretty well known for using malicious business practices, not really caring about its employees, and they've been investigated and fined many times for ethical issues
See https://www.zdnet.com/article/oracle-under-fire-over-ethics-again-feds-investigating-bribery-for-business-in-africa/

[maiden fable]

Damn thanks for the link

[ashen perch]

thanks for all the suggestions

[final iron]

If it doesn't affect me then I don't really care tbh

[quaint epoch]

mhm, big java company badddd 😡

=java bad

[slate swan]

Alright essentially im trying to make it so every 15 minutes, a channel is automatically purged py @tasks.loop(minutes=15.0) async def background_loop(): await client.wait_until_ready() while not client.is_closed: channel = client.get_channel(968618644236038235) await channel.purge(limit=1000) background_loop.start()
thats what i have but it doesn't work

no errors + doesn't purge the channel

[cloud dawn]

Try making a loop first with 3 seconds or something that just prints some text.

[slate swan]

ok

[sullen pewter]

How can I fix the attribute error

[slate swan]

wont this line create an infinite loop until the bot shuts down?

[cloud dawn]

it's interaction.response.send_message

[heady sluice]

what the fuck is that nuke bot

[slate swan]

its not mine

[cloud dawn]

or in your case ctx.response.send_message i recommend naming it inter not ctx.

[sullen pewter]

ok

[slate swan]

i got this now and it doesn't even open, the python script and i put it in cmd and no errors are shown ```py
@tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
async def background_loop():
await client.wait_until_ready()
while not client.is_closed:
channel = client.get_channel(968618644236038235)
await message.channel.send("test")
background_loop.start()

[slate swan]

does your bot print any message in the on_ready event if you have any?

its just supposed to purge the channel every 15 mins

[sullen pewter]

ty

[slate swan]

lemme add one and see

[heady sluice]

you made a nuke bot

but I don't see a problem unless there's actually a 1000 messages to delete

[slate swan]

one of my friends wanted it

so im making it

[slate swan]

and you should really change

while not client.is_closed:
    ... #this creates a loop that will keep running until the bot is shut down

to

if not client.is_closed:
   ... #this checks if the bot is running without creating a loop

[heady sluice]

yeah right

[slate swan]

@tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
async def background_loop():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    if not client.is_closed:
        channel = client.get_channel(968618644236038235)
        await message.channel.send("test")
background_loop.start()  

client.run(token)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('on')

nothing is sent on the on ready btw the print is tabbed in on the script

[slate swan]

you CANNOT have anything under the run method since it creates an infinite loop and will never run your code further

oh sorry, i never knew

[slate swan]

just telling, no need to be sorry xD

ok it showed the on now

cool

i think its a problem with it finding the channel

is there any other way i could find it

[slate swan]

channel = client.get_channel(id) or await client.fetch_channel(id)

this will check if the TextChannel object of that id isnt found in the cache (get_channel) it will make an API call to get that object instead

[heady sluice]

oooh why not 😦

[slate swan]

getch doesnt exist in discord.py

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('on')



@tasks.loop(seconds=1.0)
async def background_loop():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    if not client.is_closed:
        channel = client.get_channel(968683899175698482) or await      client.fetch_channel(968683899175698482)
        await message.channel.send("test")
background_loop.start()  

client.run(token)``` i got this and it still doesn't send anything

it only exists in disnake and that too for user/member

[heady sluice]

it really doesn't

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Guild.getch_member

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Guild.getch\_member

await getch_member(member_id, *, strict=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Tries to get a member from the cache with the given ID. If fails, it fetches the member from the API and caches it.

If you want to make a bulk get-or-fetch call, use [`get_or_fetch_members()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Guild.get_or_fetch_members "disnake.Guild.get_or_fetch_members").

[slate swan]

oh ok

[heady sluice]

mmm

[slate swan]

do your other commands work?

[potent spear]

you have to make your tests way smaller, use a print first, THEN implement

[slate swan]

yeah they're in different files tho

[vocal plover]

I don't know what made you feel the need to say this but I'll say that this feels like an extremely bad take to have for just about anything. It's literally saying you don't care about other people because it doesn't affect you.

[cloud dawn]

I wanted to react as well but this isn't the place to have such a discussion. I recommend to just let it be.

[heady sluice]

that doesn't seem closed

[slate swan]

that works

[regal pulsar]

why would you want to do that 😨

[slate swan]

im sorry if this sounds a lot but could you try find a way i could do it because its the last thing i need

i need it to detect the channel, purge it, wait 15 mins and repeat

its fine if you can't

[heady sluice]

print("something")
after await client.wait_until_ready() to see if the task started

[heady sluice]

you dare challenge me like this

[slate swan]

wasn't trying to challenge u

xd

could you put it in code

[heady sluice]

@tasks.loop(seconds=1.0)
async def background_loop():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    print("something")
    if not client.is_closed:
        channel = client.get_channel(968683899175698482) or await client.fetch_channel(968683899175698482)
        await message.channel.send("test")

see if it prints

[slate swan]

it doesn't print

[heady sluice]

but commands work

[slate swan]

yeah they do

[heady sluice]

!d discord.Client.is_closed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.is\_closed

is_closed()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.10)"): Indicates if the websocket connection is closed.

[slate swan]

but they are in a different file if that changes anything

[heady sluice]

this is the main file right

[slate swan]

no

[heady sluice]

then why are you using client.event on_ready

[potent spear]

the if statement is redundant

[slate swan]

because i wanted to see if it would show anything

[potent spear]

but that's a note, not a fix

[heady sluice]

yes but don't matter right now

[slate swan]

i have removed it now though

[heady sluice]

so where is this

[slate swan]

import discord
import random
import asyncio
from discord.ext import commands, tasks

token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
client = discord.Client()

@tasks.loop(seconds=1.0)
async def background_loop():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    print("something")
    if not client.is_closed:
        channel = client.get_channel(968683899175698482) or await client.fetch_channel(968683899175698482)
        await message.channel.send("test")



client.run(token)

this is what i have right now its a separate script

[heady sluice]

so this is the main file

[maiden fable]

also, what formatting u using

[slate swan]

i closed the main ones

[slate swan]

yeah

[maiden fable]

it isn't the correct onr

[potent spear]

you should still start the task

[slate swan]

Client doesnt have tasks

or does it?

[heady sluice]

it's got nothing to do with each other

[slate swan]

im confused now

[cloud dawn]

It is not connected to eachother

[slate swan]

yeah im dumb

[cloud dawn]

It's an async loop.

[heady sluice]

WAIT

wait has to be

[slate swan]

mm yeah, I know, I just never use my brain

[heady sluice]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with
optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[heady sluice]

guess it's just a folder

[slate swan]

hi

[heady sluice]

you ain't starting the task

[potent spear]

hi, Hau from vietnam

[slate swan]

oh

[potent spear]

as mentioned earlier...

[heady sluice]

get ignored

[potent spear]

It's clear, I'm out

[slate swan]

❤️

lmao

ok update: its now printing in the console but no messages are being sent in the server

[heady sluice]

remove the if statement

[potent spear]

.

[heady sluice]

god damnit sniper

[slate swan]

IT WORKS

import discord
import random
import asyncio
from discord.ext import commands, tasks

token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
client = discord.Client()

@tasks.loop(seconds=1.0)
async def background_loop():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    print("something")
    channel = client.get_channel(968683899175698482) or await client.fetch_channel(968683899175698482)
    await channel.send("test")
background_loop.start()


client.run(token)``` that was the final code

it is the same as before

now if i just change the channel.send to purge it should work fine

[slate swan]

why is it working now then

[heady sluice]

yes nuking achieved

[slate swan]

wait no the if statement isn't there

[slate swan]

probably that conditional

[steady flume]

How fix that ? I put in shell dpy 2.0

[heady sluice]

repl

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

it only didnt work because is_closed is a method and had to be called

[cloud dawn]

Despite it being repl.it this code looks pretty good.

[slate swan]

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord.ui'

[slate swan]

ah im going to change it to purge and see if it works

[heady sluice]

so if method isn't gonna enter the if statement?

[steady flume]

My pc dead so i need to use iPad ((

[cloud dawn]

!e print(bool(str))

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[steady flume]

I’d use pycharm ofc

[potent spear]

unclear if it contains indent errors tho

[cloud dawn]

Would still pass.

[heady sluice]

!e
if str.lower: print("Yes")

[unkempt canyon]

@heady sluice :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Yes

[slate swan]

py -m pip install py-cord

[heady sluice]

EITO

[cloud dawn]

Uh he want discord.py 2.0

[slate swan]

[heady sluice]

I feel offended about what you said earlier and I'm starting not to believe in what you say

[slate swan]

same issue

[heady sluice]

install dpy 2.0

dpy > pycord

[cloud dawn]

py -m pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[slate swan]

LMAO same thing is happenong

[cloud dawn]

No more because it's module discord.ui not found and not pycord.ui

[slate swan]

it works, im so thankful 😄

[heady sluice]

I don't understand panda

[potent spear]

eat some Bamboo, you will

[heady sluice]

is this the secret

[cloud dawn]

Yes

[slate swan]

why is it sending 2 messages?

help pls.

[slate swan]

cuz both the error occured

[frigid apex]

how do i check if a role exists? i use cogs

# check if role exists in server
        if not discord.utils.get(self.guild.roles, name="mod"):
            # create role
            await self.guild.create_role(name="mod")
            print(">> Role created")
        else:
            print(">> Role exists")```

error:
```error
AttributeError: 'Moderation' object has no attribute 'guild'```

[heady sluice]

no?

only the missingrequiredargument one

he didn't indent the first ctx.reply

[vale wing]

Not self.guild but ctx.guild

You kinda confused I think

[vale wing]

Because use elif

[heady sluice]

that's not the reason!

[vale wing]

emb = ...
if isinstance(error, Error1):
    emb.add_field(...)
elif isintance(error, Error2):
    emb.add_field(...)
else:
    raise error

await ctx.reply(embed=emb)```

[pseudo portal]

yooo sup! is there a way to do @bot.slash_command and a prefix command for same thing?

[frigid apex]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('>> Moderation Cog is ready')

        # MOD ROLE
        # mod_role = role['mod']  # get channel id from toml
        guild_id = connection['guild_id']
        # check if role exists in guild_id
        # guild = self.bot.get_guild(guild_id)
        if not discord.utils.get(self.ctx.guild.roles, name="mod"):
            # create role
            await self.ctx.guild.create_role(name="mod")
            print(">> Role created")
        else:
            print(">> Role exists")```

error: AttributeError: 'Moderation' object has no attribute 'ctx'

cogs

[spring flax]

what even is self.ctx.guild

[slate swan]

make a coro and just pass the arguments with the parent coro

[willow marsh]

Hello, i was wondering why this won't work, if you have any answers please reply

[paper sluice]

u cant add str and int

[pseudo portal]

aah, im sorry lad but am pretty new with python 😅 wdym?

[paper sluice]

use fstrings

[willow marsh]

async def purge(ctx, arg:int):
  if arg == 0:
    staffchat = client.get_channel(967408894546673665)
    embed = discord.Embed(title="🗑 Purge Executed", description=ctx.author.mention + " has purged the entire " + ctx.channel.mention + " channel.",color=0x2ecc71, timestamp=datetime.utcnow())
    embed.set_footer(text="iTOW Protection Service")
    await ctx.channel.purge()
    await staffchat.send(embed=embed)
  else:
    staffchat = client.get_channel(967408894546673665)
    embed = discord.Embed(title="🗑 Purge Executed", description=ctx.author.mention + " has purged " + arg + "messages in " + ctx.channel.mention,color=0x2ecc71, timestamp=datetime.utcnow())
    embed.set_footer(text="iTOW Protection Service")
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=arg)
    await staffchat.send(embed=embed)

[paper sluice]

!fstring

[willow marsh]

Why wont this work

[unkempt canyon]

Did you mean ...

» sql-fstring
» f-strings

[willow marsh]

The problem here is on the "Else:"

[paper sluice]

u can't add a str and int :/

[pseudo portal]

tip: when u do three ` ad "py" or whateva language after

[willow marsh]

what do you mean?

[paper sluice]

"hello" + 1

is invalid syntax

[willow marsh]

how can i take out the int and put it into text

[paper sluice]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

[willow marsh]

whats that 😂

[paper sluice]

read the embed :/

[willow marsh]

Ohh i got it

i was testing a bit around i had to do

[slate swan]

async def parent(messageble) -> None:
    ...
@bot.command()
async def child(messageable) -> None:
    await parent(messageable)

[willow marsh]

has purged " + arg.str() + "messages i

[slate swan]

i heard you can use hybrids as well

[slate swan]

read the embed bro

[paper sluice]

why...

[slate swan]

typo

[willow marsh]

wdym read the embed, i got no error message

[slate swan]

def

[pseudo portal]

👍 ❤️‍🔥

[slate swan]

bro

you typed def to define a function?

[paper sluice]

its just unnecessary

[willow marsh]

wdym?

[paper sluice]

use fstrings, u dont have to convert an int to str then

[willow marsh]

what can i do instead of that then

[paper sluice]

!e

print(f'hello {1}')

[unkempt canyon]

@paper sluice :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

hello 1

[slate swan]

no need for it lol

read on top

[slate swan]

^

wrong keyword usage

bro

look what youre doing

[willow marsh]

^

[paper sluice]

[slate swan]

trying to define the result of the index like what

def is the keyword used to define functions

[sick birch]

def snipe_message_content[message.channel.id]```

[slate swan]

thanks robin for repeating what ive said and what the traceback says

[paper sluice]

[sick birch]

its on the house

[paper sluice]

BRUH

[sick birch]

I doubt it's the same error after you fix it

[paper sluice]

did u even change anything?

[sick birch]

I'm saying it's impossible for you to get the same error after fixing it

Also use something else to delete key-value from a dict

Pretty sure del is used for other purposes

[slate swan]

i recommend you learn python and pythons keywords

[paper sluice]

del doesn't free up the memory right? it just removes the element then its gc'ed

[slate swan]

bro

Owo

[heady sluice]

no

[sick birch]

right, and?

[sick birch]

After it get's gc'd yes, the mem is freed

[slate swan]

learning python is a good step before doing discord bots👍

[sick birch]

But del doesn't immediate return that mem to you, not as far as I know

[slate swan]

is there any discord api typings library like https://github.com/discordjs/discord-api-types but for py?

[sick birch]

Python kind of abstracts memory management away from you so it's difficult to tell

[slate swan]

I told him multiple times and he's still not listening lmao

[slate swan]

And what is gc'ed btw?😭

[paper sluice]

garbage collected

[sick birch]

garbage collector'd

[paper sluice]

good to know

[slate swan]

💀oh I see

[slate swan]

?

[paper sluice]

type hints?

[sick birch]

Not that I know of. discord.py should do a decent job of giving you all the types, should it not?

Given you typehint stuff properly on your end

[slate swan]

do they provide types?

[sick birch]

The models are types, e.g discord.Message

[slate swan]

like for interactions, nor oauth2 stuff

[sick birch]

Not for the API endpoints, no

[slate swan]

why it doesnt exist one

[sick birch]

Good question

Maybe it's just not as easy to make and export types in Python as it is in Typescript

[slate swan]

oh nvm i think i found one

[sick birch]

Use the right syntax

[slate swan]

learn python and its keywords

[heady sluice]

why not in python general

[paper sluice]

not gonna say that 💀

[heady sluice]

you don't pass arguments to a task

[echo wasp]

if i remove it

[heady sluice]

then you just gotta get the member

you don't even use it

and it's discord.Member, not discord.member

[echo wasp]

@heady sluice ^^^

[heady sluice]

guild's NoneType

[echo wasp]

i removed it

[heady sluice]

get didn't get the guild from the cache

[heady sluice]

why

[heady sluice]

cuz the cache is empty, the bot isn't ready yet

[echo wasp]

because you told me to

[heady sluice]

not guild

[echo wasp]

i removed member

[heady sluice]

that's good

[echo wasp]

how do make it work then on ready goes after it loads the co

[heady sluice]

now, add
await bot.wait_until_ready()
at the start of the task

mm @slate swan Idk what lib you're using or how slash commands work there, I can't help you
