[slate swan]

which iirc the meta class calls the init and call and new dunders

meta class

yes metaclasses

I'm bad at python names

[paper sluice]

a class which subclasses from type

[slate swan]

its just a class which changes the behavior of a class

[atomic wolf]

Okay, sort of like "this."

?

[paper sluice]

no this is self in python

[slate swan]

Wo

[atomic wolf]

ah, that's in this code snippit too

[paper sluice]

__init__ is the constructor if ur familiar with that

[atomic wolf]

def __init__(self):

[slate swan]

Yes

the init is basically just like the parameters of the class

[slate swan]

really not needed but yeah the initiate would need an instance of itself

which self means the class itself

i would recommend you check out Corey Schafer which he has some good oop tutorials

Ok

[atomic wolf]

init is the class structure and self is the user?

[slate swan]

OOP in Python is yikes

[atomic wolf]

no, that didn't make sense nvm

[slate swan]

[paper sluice]

@atomic wolf what other lanng are u familiar with other than python?

[atomic wolf]

I know a little bit of java and C#.

[slate swan]

i mean a bit but the self in an init means it would need an argument that is an instance of itself

[atomic wolf]

But it's honestly been a while.

[slate swan]

its great🥺

C is cool

[atomic wolf]

I took C# and Introduction to Computer Logic (which was java oriented)

[slate swan]

Cpp is better

[slate swan]

no

[atomic wolf]

Dropped out for the derptieth time.

[slate swan]

Cpp? What's that

C++

C Plus Plus

oh lol

[slate swan]

yes

file.cpp

Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\disnake\ext\commands\interaction_bot_base.py:733: SyncWarning: Failed to overwrite commands in <Guild id=967099836585377885> due to 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access
warnings.warn(

eh

[paper sluice]

when u type ipp instead of i++

[slate swan]

Bot has no permission to add slash commands to the guild

Make sure you invite with the scope

[atomic wolf]

oauthtoken

is that a specific user or somting?

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=ID&scope=bot+applications.commands&permissions=x

x

x=8

Never invite a bot with administrator permissions

I'm surprised Discord even allows this

very dangerous

And useless

Put the right permissions and only those you need

..

Your bot has a ban and mute command?
Everyone: permissions=8

Lmao

Totally me

Discours should remove the administrator permission from bots honestly

But idh mute cmd 🥺

[paper sluice]

huh? no

[slate swan]

It's helpful for nuke bots

All permissions your bot needs can be put manually and you never need administrator on a bot

As simple as that

[slate swan]

funny ash jokes

...

But then Discord are the first to complain because bots are being used in a malicious way

[paper sluice]

Ash Ketchum

[slate swan]

Yet they don't remove it

huh?

Krypton doesn't care he just continue his typing

krypton just hates discord allot🙀

Yeah because people apparently still believes bots actually need administrator permission

huh? no

Wait wait wait old dev badhe no way

yeah

🥺

krypton is old

i remember him when i was a noob and he used to help me lol

Still

was 8 or so months ago

[vocal plover]

In fairness there are valid reasons to give a bot admin, they're just exceedingly rare

[slate swan]

Like anti nuke bot

vco😳

There always are exceptions, you just face them once in a lifetime

[vocal plover]

there should at least be something that says "Are you absolutely sure you want to give this bot admin? It can be a dangerous permission to grant."

[lyric apex]

Discord Ui Button Supports In 1.7.3?

[slate swan]

Why not make it, just like some intents, something you need to have to prove you actually need it.

[quaint epoch]

im just too lazy to pick specific perms

[slate swan]

Luckily I don't have any server so no problem

No nukes

[vocal plover]

I'm a big fan of this suggestion tbh

[slate swan]

Which would then prevent people from putting it with 8

..

[torn sail]

No

[vocal plover]

I've always hated that Rythm, a music bot, asked for admin

like, no

[slate swan]

Typo

[vocal plover]

you do not need that, ever, you're a music bot

[slate swan]

Honestly I will go and propose that, you know where would be the ideal place to do so?

[vocal plover]

The most likely place for it to be seen would be the discord-api-docs repo, but believe me it's been suggested many a time and Discord have other priorities

[paper sluice]

https://discord.gg/discord-developers
maybe?

[slate swan]

Imagine getting ignored

Yeah, will probably do that - thanks!

[atomic wolf]

class CustomClient(discord.Client): def __init__(self): super(CustomClient, self).__init__() with open("allykeys.json") as jfile: data = json.load(jfile) self.oauthsecret = data["oauthsecret"] self.oauthtoken = data["oauthtoken"] self.consumerkey = data["consumerkey"] self.api = AllyAPI(self.oauthsecret, self.oauthtoken, self.consumerkey, response_format="json")

is this like getting data from jfile for authorization?

to call AllyAPI?

[paper sluice]

what is AllyAPI? where did u get this code?

[atomic wolf]

AllyAPI is for getting stock quotes

https://www.anthonymorast.com/blog/2020/03/28/creating-a-discord-stock-data-bot-with-the-allyinvest-py-library/

[slate swan]

embed.add_field(name="Prefix", value=len, inline=False)
``` correct?

[paper sluice]

ya it is

[atomic wolf]

Any ideas hat the allykeys.json file is?

[slate swan]

from disnake import CommandInteraction
from disnake.ext.commands import Bot

[paper sluice]

probably bot.event

[vocal plover]

it's just @bot.listen()

[slate swan]

ik i asked before but anyone know how to use bot.wait_for in an extension (not cog)

[slate swan]

async def on_message(message: Message) -> None:

[torn sail]

No

[blissful oar]

hey

i am having problems with my discord bot

can someone help

[torn sail]

disnake.Message

[slate swan]

Anyone?

[slate swan]

where

[quaint epoch]

in the typehint

[paper sluice]

um just run it and see...

i feel like i've seen this from somewhere

[slate swan]

so like this?

[quaint epoch]

nope

[paper sluice]

bruv

[blissful oar]

my discord bot aint sending messages

[blissful oar]

yea youtube toturial

[slate swan]

Not working

i'm just dumb don't mind me xd

[quaint epoch]

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message: disnake.Message):
    if "badword" in message.content:
        await message.delete()```

[quaint epoch]

big red flags

[paper sluice]

huh?

[blissful oar]

@quaint epoch you know whats the problem

[quaint epoch]

use commands.Bot, not Client, and use commands, not on_message

[slate swan]

File "C:\Users\iOussamato_\Desktop\PY\bot.py", line 23
disnake.Message def on_message(message: disnake.Message):

[blissful oar]

why whats wrong

[slate swan]

huh

[quaint epoch]

...

there, fixed

[paper sluice]

bro learn python before u make a bot

[quaint epoch]

!resources --- would be a nice place to start

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[slate swan]

I'm sorry

[slate swan]

do u know how to use bot.wait for in extension?

[quaint epoch]

since discord bots fall on moderate to complex

[slate swan]

(not cog)

[quaint epoch]

learning python extensively before making a bot helps a lot

[slate swan]

anyone?

[quaint epoch]

yup

for example -

[torn sail]

It would be the same as normal

[paper sluice]

what extension?

[slate swan]

discord.py extension

but not self.bot.wait_for cuz im not using cogs

[quaint epoch]

try:
  await bot.wait_for(event='name', timeout=60, check=func)
except asyncio.exceptions.TimeoutError:
  print('the wait timed out!')
else:
  print('the wait was finished!')```

[quaint epoch]

same thing

they do the same thing

[paper sluice]

self is realted to classes and not Cogs

[quaint epoch]

!rule 6

[unkempt canyon]

eh

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message,

way...

[paper sluice]

its commands.Bot not bot

[slate swan]

ahh

[quaint epoch]

[torn sail]

Are you adding commands in the extensions setup?

[quaint epoch]

mmmmm

[slate swan]

Jose

[quaint epoch]

houston we have a problem

[jovial dock]

can i make one command only work in a specific channel?

[quaint epoch]

add a check

[slate swan]

Ye

[quaint epoch]

!d discord.ext.commands.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its

[jovial dock]

thx

[quaint epoch]

bruh you haven't changed it

[slate swan]

Rly

[paper sluice]

u didnt change anything

[quaint epoch]

it's commands.Bot, not .bot

[slate swan]

ohhhhhh

im dumb

Ok

[torn sail]

You need an instance of bot

[slate swan]

^

[quaint epoch]

[slate swan]

🪃

[torn sail]

If your in a command you can use ctx.bot

[slate swan]

Client.wait_for() missing 1 required positional argument: 'event'```

noow this error

Bro

[torn sail]

You need to wait for something

[paper sluice]

i think the error is pretty self explanatory, why dont you try to figure out whats wrong

[slate swan]

im really confused

lol

[paper sluice]

do u know what an argument is?

[slate swan]

yep

[paper sluice]

do u know how to add arguments to a function?

[slate swan]

ye

[paper sluice]

then just do that

[slate swan]

but whats the event argement?

[paper sluice]

its the name of the argument

[slate swan]

this

!test hello
here hello is an argument

[slate swan]

what do i put in it

[paper sluice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

what do u want to put in it?

@bot.event nice

[slate swan]

async def test(ctx, argument)now use argument to do whatever for your function

[slate swan]

its in a extension

wait who needs help here?

[torn sail]

Ur argument is ctx

[slate swan]

me

Me

[torn sail]

Should be message

[slate swan]

I need a life and a brain

[slate swan]

Try from god import life, brain

[torn sail]

No ur using message in the function tho

But the arg is ctx

[paper sluice]

i was talking about their name ...

[feral halo]

why

having arguement to be ctx isn't wrong

[slate swan]

Pls help cuz im dumb

[torn sail]

You will get message is undefined

[slate swan]

hello there

use @commands.cooldown(1, time, commands.BucketType.user)
sets timer for per user to use this command

Hello there

[paper sluice]

why do u want wait_for in the first place?

[feral halo]

@bot.event
async def func(ctx, a):
  await ctx.send(a)

[slate swan]

Ok

[slate swan]

reaction

Huh?

[torn sail]

Oh edited it👍 add the time to a dictionary and check the difference

[feral halo]

just do

await ctx.send```

[paper sluice]

then add reaction_add or something i dont remember

[slate swan]

waiting for user to say something or react?

[slate swan]

()

[torn sail]

That won’t work

[feral halo]

it's no need to correct me with ()
because they should put them in themself

[slate swan]

...

Msg. Send?

[paper sluice]

on_message gives a discord.Message object, not discord.Context... they just have bad naming

[feral halo]

ohhhhhh i got it now
it's an on_message event
and ctx returns message
sooo

[slate swan]

nah need to show small details dpy is an intermediate they should know about parenthesis

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.Context*

message.channel.send()

[paper sluice]

what ever, u get the point

[slate swan]

reaction, user = await commands.Bot.wait_for("reaction_add", timeout=60, check=check2)```

Make a bot instance

[torn sail]

U need a bot instance

[slate swan]

whats that?

[torn sail]

ctx.bot if in a command

[paper sluice]

learn python, please

[feral halo]

await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60, check=check2)

[slate swan]

i have im just new to discord bots

[feral halo]

damn i never seen you being rude before

[slate swan]

ight thx

[slate swan]

hello rember me (skele3?)

[paper sluice]

its just annoying man

[sage otter]

I mean you don’t have to help.

[slate swan]

its not discord bots

[feral halo]

commands.Bot actually exists

[slate swan]

srry i have learnt python just new to bots

[slate swan]

u remember me?

[paper sluice]

nah but they need to create an instance of it for it to show up in the bot lol

[feral halo]

who are you

[paper sluice]

lol

[slate swan]

SKele3

basically discord bots are mixture of asynchronous programming,OOP and just good knowledge about python

[slate swan]

u were on my server before it got deleted

[feral halo]

i don't recognize having freddy as friend

oh it's you

[slate swan]

i let u join server

i got same about me with that minesweeper

[feral halo]

yeah i remember the minesweeper

[sage otter]

If you get annoyed by people not knowing what to do in a help channel. You obviously don’t need to be helping. 👌

[paper sluice]

alright, im now actually going to fix this seg fault, been pissing me off since 3 days

[slate swan]

noice

[quaint epoch]

you the person that grinds #esoteric-python, no?

it should be easy

[feral halo]

yes

[slate swan]

Hello tyler

[paper sluice]

im noob at cpp

[feral halo]

i'm beginner

[sage otter]

Hello Okimii

[slate swan]

hi hi

[paper sluice]

cpp is just annoying, esp seg faults, they dont tell u whats wrong and just dont work

[feral halo]

compare to rust..

[wanton veldt]

hi i have this welcome command and everytime i restart the bot its "forgeting" the welcome channel
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/xodaqepoce.py

[quaint epoch]

rust gives you, frighteningly descriptive errors

[feral halo]

it got the best ERROR

[quaint epoch]

i know from experience

[slate swan]

to me the only scary things of cpp is how powerful and vulnerable it can be by just writting a bit of lines of code

[quaint epoch]

rust = cpp * safe

that's why it's slower

[feral halo]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[slate swan]

rust = trash syntax

[quaint epoch]

i'd pick rust over cpp any day

[quaint epoch]

hey! haskell isn't, that bad

[feral halo]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/xodaqepoce

[paper sluice]

in cpp ur actually coding in a piece of RAM.. random stuff pops up if u r not carefull

[slate swan]

yeah

[wanton veldt]

ty

[quaint epoch]

and if you're really not careful, you need new ram

[paper sluice]

that too

[cloud dawn]

No it isn't.

[feral halo]

it's forgetting?

[cursive spindle]

why i cant start my bot?

[feral halo]

maybe you DIDN'T set a welcome channel

[cursive spindle]

give us code

[cloud dawn]

You're asking about reading a json on a hosting platform.

[wanton veldt]

i set the welcoming channel but if i restart the bot the bot dosent know anymore the channel

if you understand

[feral halo]

this?

channel_id = guilds_dict[str(member.guild.id)]

[wanton veldt]

y

[sage otter]

What version of dpy are you on

[cloud dawn]

What are you trying to do?

[feral halo]

got it

[sage otter]

start the bot

[wanton veldt]

give us the code

[slate swan]

isnt the error quite descriptive?

[cloud dawn]

Well it is if you're doing some.. things...

[slate swan]

it failed the handshaked and returned a 503

[slate swan]

like what may i ask?

😳

[cloud dawn]

I'm not going to assume anything, I think it's best to wait for some code.

[slate swan]

tell me reasons😡

[slate swan]

thx man it works

i need knowledge

[short silo]

Are you making the bot or am I making the bot ?

[cloud dawn]

You are, but json isn't a relative topic regarding Discord bots.

[slate swan]

thats like asking about a pear and youre eating an apple the questions isnt related to the topic

[sage otter]

how is this guy gonna ask for help and take like 2 years to respond

[slate swan]

😭

[cloud dawn]

If he/she needs further help we'll know.

[cloud dawn]

You already know it, read the error.

There was a recent incident that occurred here regarding the same topic.

[slate swan]

i know but you said somethings can stop the client to make a handshake with the websocket so i want to know which ones would it be wrong/invalid payloads?

[cloud dawn]

Mostly if a handshake fails is because someone is trying to manipulate the api.

Think such of having a mobile status for bots.

[slate swan]

manipulate as not following its orders and trying to bypass stuff?

[cloud dawn]

Yes.

[slate swan]

bad stuff😳

[slate swan]

yes it is

how else can u make an economy/data storing bot

wouldnt matter

json isnt for storing data.

[sick birch]

Use a real database

[slate swan]

and his question is about checking a file with heroku which still would fall into the thread of discord bot hosting which it still doesnt

[slate swan]

Fair enough

hey

is there any reason for on_member_leave not working ?

it just doesnt get triggered

why is that

ping me if you have any answer ^^

[sick birch]

Check your intents

[slate swan]

which intent do I need

intents.reactions = True
intents.members = True
intents.guilds = True```

I have these

[sick birch]

I see

Did you try a print statement on_member_leave to see if it gets called?

[slate swan]

I tried

but nothin

[sick birch]

And someone is actually leaving the server?

[slate swan]

yeah

[sick birch]

Ah I think I know what's up

[slate swan]

what is it

[sick birch]

As I suspected

[slate swan]

wha

[sick birch]

!d discord.on_member_remove

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_remove

discord.on_member_join(member)``````py

discord.on_member_remove(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") join or leaves a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

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

[slate swan]

OOOHHH

DAMN

[sick birch]

One of the things I don't like about discord.py

[slate swan]

thanks pal lol

[sick birch]

discord.js with typescript actually shows you what events you can listen to. No matter I suppose

[slate swan]

really didnt expect that

lol thanks again

[sick birch]

Nope, it's always the small things

[sick birch]

anytime

[maiden fable]

wait what

Don't tell me u kidding

[sick birch]

No. Intellisense shows all the events you can listen for using an EventEmitter

[maiden fable]

How do they even accomplish that

[sick birch]

Not that hard really, just a list of string literals

[maiden fable]

Is it like using the typing.Constant typehint?

or what was that i forgot

[sick birch]

One way would be

type Events = 
  "MESSAGE_CREATE" |
  "INTERACTION_CREATE" |
  ...

Then type the first argument of your EventEmitter to be that

[maiden fable]

Imagine if dpy gets that

[sick birch]

class Client {
  constructor() {
    ...
  }

  on(eventName: Event, callback: ...) {
    ...
  }
}

[maiden fable]

wait wat

[sick birch]

I'm not good with d.js internals but that's one way

[maiden fable]

Ah, so is it like assigning the callback to the event name?

[sick birch]

Sort of

Though I'm not sure how the callback parameter type is automatically inferred from the event name

[cursive spindle]

can i send you dm?

[cursive spindle]

can i send you dm?

[slate swan]

does a guild object have a function bans to get all the ppl banned in the guild?

Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

You must have the [`ban_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.ban_members "discord.Permissions.ban_members") permission
to get this information.

Changed in version 2.0: Due to a breaking change in Discord’s API, this now returns a paginated iterator instead of a list...

You can always use the search function in the documentation

How can I can make a MissingPermissions error

?

@slate swan

Hey

[marsh thorn]

how do i refrence a channel?

like for example channel = discord.general

[quaint whale]

Hey Sten, were you able to resolve this problem?

Having the exact same error right now..

[slate swan]

It's apperently some sort of bug, it's just to ignore it. 🤷‍♂️

Your bot has no permission to add slash commands in the guild

[quaint whale]

Oh weird, thx for your fast reaction 🙂

[slate swan]

Make sure you've invited with the right scope

[slate swan]

No

[marsh thorn]

so does anyone know how to refrence a channel?

[slate swan]

Yes

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.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.

[slate swan]

!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...

[slate swan]

That means nothing, just as side note

[quaint whale]

Did select those... The slash command I did write got added.

[marsh thorn]

so how do i set channel = the channel with this?

like channel = get_channel(channel_id,id /)?

[slate swan]

This is called object oriented programming.
discord.Guild is your object.
You have such an object with, for example ctx.guild or message.guild.
Then as it says, you need to provide a channel_id, so you'd need to add that as argument when calling the function.

[marsh thorn]

ah alr

@slate swan why doesnt this work though channel = discord.get_channel(970359334057951255)?

[slate swan]

Read it again please.

I clearly said that:

discord.Guild is your object.
You have such an object with, for example ctx.guild or message.guild.

So why do you replace discord.Guild with just discord

[marsh thorn]

ah alr srry i am stupid

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.channel.name == 'announcements':
        if message.author.bot:
            return
        if message == '-mention':
            return
        author = message.author
        messageembed=discord.Embed(description=message.content, color=0xffffff)
        await message.delete()
        await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
        await message.channel.send(embed=messageembed)
        print('changed a message to an embed')``` i got this, it works and all but when i do -mention, it still puts it in the embed

[marsh thorn]

what does the / stand for here

[sacred oyster]

⬆️

[forest grotto]

@client.command()
async def say(ctx, msg=None):
 if msg == None:
  await ctx.send(":x: You gotta provide me what you want me to say.")
 else:
  await ctx.send(f"{msg}")

say command for anyone

[marsh thorn]

!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...

[marsh thorn]

does anyone know what i should replace / with?

[slate swan]

nothing

[marsh thorn]

TypeError: Guild.get_channel() missing 1 required positional argument: 'channel_id'

it errors this if i leave it as nothing

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

b = bot.get_guild(123)
channel = b.get_channel(123)

[marsh thorn]

alr ty lemme try

[brave forge]

how to make the team check your role and the role of the mentioned user and if they match , then an error and if they do not match , the command continues execution ?

[marsh thorn]

oof that doesnt work it needs to be discord bot doesnt work

[velvet tinsel]

Bruh 💀

[marsh thorn]

do you know what i need to do?

[velvet tinsel]

It’s obvious

Read the error again

[marsh thorn]

no it isnt

[velvet tinsel]

It’s missing a required argument???

[marsh thorn]

oh wait

do i need to do ('channel_id', 56454515456)

[velvet tinsel]

Bruh

Just pass in the ID of a channel

[marsh thorn]

ye ik that but what argument

[marsh thorn]

i did do that but that didnt work

[velvet tinsel]

Channel_id argument

[velvet tinsel]

What did you do

[marsh thorn]

channel = discord.get_channel(970359334057951255)

[velvet tinsel]

I have a feeling you jumped straight into discord.py without learning the basics of python

[slate swan]

the module doesnt have that attr

!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...

[velvet tinsel]

Bro I 💀

[marsh thorn]

yes

[velvet tinsel]

That’s why

[marsh thorn]

i know some of the basics

[velvet tinsel]

Learn the basics of python first

classes functions variables

[marsh thorn]

this is how i learn the basics

by creating easy bots

[velvet tinsel]

So that’s why discord bots is so active

[slate swan]

classes arent "basic"

[velvet tinsel]

They are

[slate swan]

no they are not.

[velvet tinsel]

They’re part of python OOP

[marsh thorn]

but then what should i do?

[slate swan]

thats still not basic?

[velvet tinsel]

discord library doesn’t have that attribute

you’ll need whatever your commands.Bot was

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

if you say that, c is basic too since thats what python is build upon 🤡

[marsh thorn]

i tried doing this

[strong vessel]

discord bot invite link with permission set to 0 (no permissions) it will still be able to read and send message, is there any purpose putting the permission in the invite link? Since it adds the additional step on inviting when there is nonzero permission?

[marsh thorn]

oh alr

[velvet tinsel]

I read a book for beginners to learn python it literally had python in the first few pages

[slate swan]

doesnt mean its basic

[velvet tinsel]

Should be basic

[slate swan]

and you still dont know them

🙀

[velvet tinsel]

I reviewed them lmao

[pliant gulch]

Pretty much the basics, python is pretty much all OOP, beginners will end up figuring this out by methods such as str.upper() for an example

[velvet tinsel]

I didn’t care for classes but recently I read more about them

did some abstract classes it was fun

[slate swan]

yes but inheritance and classes arent quite basic yes the language is built out of oop but that still doesnt mean its basic

[velvet tinsel]

Bros typing a whole paragraph 💀

Oh he just sent it

[slate swan]

Apparently not everyone has the same opinion, I guess they want to keep inviting bots with administrator permissions which they do not need https://i.imgur.com/5Eqwqg9.png - https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/discussions/4864

[pliant gulch]

Basic is relative, so. But basic as in one of the first things you should be learning is what I mean

[velvet tinsel]

Yeah

[slate swan]

Then it would be required and not basic as the term would mean easy or the base of something

[pliant gulch]

It’s also exposed to engineers very early on, again referencing methods like str.upper

[pliant gulch]

It is the base of python though?

[velvet tinsel]

Then that means functions aren’t even required 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

thats still not my point.

my point is its not really basic oop even if python is made out of it yes it would give you better understanding of it but people tend to have trouble with the topic making it a bit more intermediate then basic

[velvet tinsel]

Python is an OOP language surely classes should be required

[slate swan]

How would i get USER ID?

from a user

[slate swan]

required and basic are 2 different things

[marsh thorn]

channel = discord.Guild.get_channel('channel_id', 970359334057951255)

why doesnt this work?

[velvet tinsel]

Copy it from discord

[slate swan]

no from discord bot

[velvet tinsel]

You passed an extra argument

[velvet tinsel]

Well it depends on how you want to get it you want it via a command?

[slate swan]

yeah so if i do for example

/start

it would return their used ID

[marsh thorn]

is the 970359334057951255 or the 'channel_id' extra?

[velvet tinsel]

The latter

[marsh thorn]

latter?

[velvet tinsel]

ctx.author.id then

[velvet tinsel]

The last one

[marsh thorn]

ah alr

[pliant gulch]

Python is a multi paradigm language

[velvet tinsel]

If there are options a and b the latter would be b

[marsh thorn]

umm now it errors i miss one argument:
TypeError: Guild.get_channel() missing 1 required positional argument: 'channel_id'

[velvet tinsel]

a and b and c the latter would be c

[velvet tinsel]

What did you write

[rain salmon]

hello i was wondering how do i make a discord bot ask an input when i do /slayer and then use the resault later?

[marsh thorn]

channel = discord.Guild.get_channel(970359334057951255)

[velvet tinsel]

What was your commands.Bot object

[regal pulsar]

Uh

[velvet tinsel]

I need you so badly

[regal pulsar]

Which guild are you getting it from lmao

[velvet tinsel]

@slate swan are you there

[regal pulsar]

💀

[slate swan]

?

[velvet tinsel]

I need emotional support

[slate swan]

bro what

[velvet tinsel]

You’re there good bye have fun

[marsh thorn]

i geuss you mean this by commands.bot:

from discord.ext.commands import bot

[slate swan]

what

[velvet tinsel]

Byeeeee

[slate swan]

i have things to do

[velvet tinsel]

😭 no

[velvet tinsel]

We’re both gonna go then

[marsh thorn]

then idk

[slate swan]

capital B

sarth is here

[regal pulsar]

guild = bot.fetch_guild(guild_id)
channel = guild.fetch_channels(channel_id)

[slate swan]

its all good

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

[regal pulsar]

You may need to await these

[velvet tinsel]

Yeah sarthak the genius

[slate swan]

yes sir

slides out

🙀

[regal pulsar]

Lmao

Imagine using discord.Client

[velvet tinsel]

You’re on your own now bye

[slate swan]

you should try using get_ methods instead of fetch as much as possible

[slate swan]

i subclass it

[regal pulsar]

Hmm

[slate swan]

😳

[marsh thorn]

there isnt a capital B in my code

[regal pulsar]

Why

[regal pulsar]

Lol

[slate swan]

thats the issue :)

[regal pulsar]

Why

[marsh thorn]

umm how do i add the capital B
like i dont just do B somwhere

[regal pulsar]

What

bot = commands.Bot()

[slate swan]

get methods get from cache while fetch methods make api calls

[regal pulsar]

I see

[slate swan]

cause get_ uses cache for getting objects
and fetch_ makes an api call, and converts the payload into the object, which get already did!

its good practice to make the lowest possible api calls

[regal pulsar]

Yeah

[slate swan]

if you really wanna make sure that you get that object even if its not in the cache, use the or statement py obj = bot.get_x(id) or await bot.fetch_x(id)

[velvet tinsel]

Lmaoo

[regal pulsar]

Hmm

[slate swan]

or pipes😈

[marsh thorn]

srry i didnt see this at first but like this?

guild = bot.fetch_guild(970359334057951255)
channel = guild.fetch_channels(970359334057951255)

[slate swan]

very common for people making application command only bots in dpy2.0

[slate swan]

yeah, if you wanna do some fancy stuff :D

[slate swan]

no i do it to be unpythonic😈

[regal pulsar]

Change that to get

Turns out fetch makes an api call

[wary crystal]

No reason to add all that extra boilerplate which you won't even use. Although discord.Client has no Cogs nor listeners, which is kind of a bummer.

[regal pulsar]

Oh

[slate swan]

Cogs is something you can pretty much implement by your own!

[velvet tinsel]

Cogs are amazing

[slate swan]

cogs are easy

hm i dont use them ez

[slate swan]

[velvet tinsel]

I’ve had some trouble locating the files of the cogs but yknow a quick Googling gets them

[slate swan]

mix python and rb

[wary crystal]

Sure, you can always say that. But the Cogs interface already exists in the library, why not make it compatible with Client instead of making the user write a metaclass, or use inspect to make their own interface?

[velvet tinsel]

I’ve always had trouble with file structures idk why it’s like they hate me

[regal pulsar]

It took me an entire week to realise i dont need to use bot.process_commands in my on_message func if im using cogs 💀

[velvet tinsel]

Lmao 💀

[slate swan]

dont make me do it🗿

[regal pulsar]

Lol

[slate swan]

yeah that for sure is possible, idky devs still didn't implement it
well the 2.0 build is not completed yet maybe they come up with something similar

[velvet tinsel]

Mix python and brainfuck

It doesn’t even make sense

[regal pulsar]

Oh no

[slate swan]

why would that matter? if the Bot class is a better subclass with more library abstraction?

[slate swan]

use julia, cancer

[velvet tinsel]

mix malbolge and brainfuck

[regal pulsar]

😨

[velvet tinsel]

The worst duo ever

[wary crystal]

If you read the earlier messages I sent you would know? Why use commands.Bot with all that extra boilerplate for "vanilla" commands when you aren't gonna use them at all?

[velvet tinsel]

Pure pain and suffering and your username would be in high demand

[slate swan]

Ruby and elixir

[slate swan]

yeah, that makes sense

[wary crystal]

It's like buying the whole super market instead of just one product. It's dumb

[regal pulsar]

Well you might want to use it sometime in the future

Instead of changing it all later

[slate swan]

though i no longer use discord.py

[regal pulsar]

Just keep it as bot

[pliant gulch]

[regal pulsar]

I just swapped to a fork

[regal pulsar]

Except this doesnt cost you anything

[velvet tinsel]

I use shitcord

[regal pulsar]

Its one of those “why not” situations

[slate swan]

what ever you guys say but i dont see it as dumb or unnecessary its all the samething

[regal pulsar]

Lol

[wary crystal]

It does cost you in preformance...

[regal pulsar]

Oh

[wary crystal]

There is a lot of boilerplate under the extension

[slate swan]

not me

[regal pulsar]

I take back everything i said 💀

[velvet tinsel]

I use discord.py

[slate swan]

cool..

[regal pulsar]

What do you use

[slate swan]

i handle the gateway👁️👁️

[slate swan]

hikari and hikari lb

[velvet tinsel]

Lmao

[regal pulsar]

My phone’s battery has been on 65 for the last hour

[velvet tinsel]

It doesn’t even exist so it technically means I Uh hm

[slate swan]

what if i handle the gateway and use dpy for the http requests😳

[regal pulsar]

💀

[velvet tinsel]

I swear my iPad was charging itself when it wasn’t even charging 💀💀

[marsh thorn]

it errors this now:AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands.bot' has no attribute 'get_guild'

[velvet tinsel]

💀💀💀

[regal pulsar]

o

[slate swan]

bro

[regal pulsar]

Uh someone show him how to use .get

Im on phone

[marsh thorn]

k can anyone show me?

[regal pulsar]

Lmfao

[slate swan]

https://shitcord.com/

[velvet tinsel]

LMAOOO

[regal pulsar]

Wait what

[velvet tinsel]

IT EXISTS??

[slate swan]

hm, basically a site which redirects u to discord

[regal pulsar]

Wow

Lmao

[velvet tinsel]

The website is hilarious

[regal pulsar]

[slate swan]

what else is shitcord meant to be

[velvet tinsel]

Shitcord.py, hmmm

[pliant gulch]

There's also a modded client called cumcord

[velvet tinsel]

let’s go

[slate swan]

😂

wtf has happened

[velvet tinsel]

Hello

[slate swan]

sussy clients

[regal pulsar]

BEHOLD

[slate swan]

so much useless dunders and useless imports

[regal pulsar]

🕵️

[slate swan]

that whole code is useless

[regal pulsar]

How dare you

That is my masterpiece

[slate swan]

[brave forge]

how do I make the team look at your role and the role of the mentioned user and if they match , then an error occurs and if they do not match , the team continues execution ?

[marsh thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/reverse-card-uno-uno-cards-gif-13032597

import os

os.remove('ThisTeribleScript')

[velvet tinsel]

Lol

[marsh thorn]

and they say i dont know the basics

🤦‍♂️

||jk btw i am terrible||

[velvet tinsel]

We all are

[regal pulsar]

Lol

[regal pulsar]

Uh which role

You can have more than one

[brave forge]

I want to do this. If you have the role F and the mentioned user has the same role, an error is issued

[regal pulsar]

if role in ctx.author.roles and role in user.roles:
raise RandomError
else:
do this stuff

[brave forge]

thanks. I will be able to do it on discord.py version 1.7.3 ?

@regal pulsarI can't switch to a new one. since everything breaks down for me

[slate swan]

Yes that will work

roles attribute has not been changed from 1.7.3 to 2.0 so the same works on both versions

[marsh thorn]

username = str(message.author).split('#')[0]

why does it say indent expected?

[slate swan]

it's not a problem with the line itself

[marsh thorn]

so i can run it perfectly fine?

[slate swan]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[slate swan]

somewhere up in the source you have an indent error, as the message says

your IDE should tell you where it is, if you have linting on.. which you should have

[marsh thorn]

what is an indent error

[slate swan]

These are indentations, make sure you follow and apply them correctly

[slate swan]

just read the embed

[marsh thorn]

oh i see now ty

[sick birch]

I don't believe you can. You'll have to make it the same color as your banner/disocrd gray color

Have to make it the gray color

[rocky hornet]

is there a premade embed paginator?

[tacit canyon]

Can someone send me the docs for discord.py😅

[rocky hornet]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io

[tacit canyon]

Thank you

[brave forge]

wow, you can talk without links 0_o

[atomic locust]

is discord.py the best to learn

[buoyant zodiac]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

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

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[regal pulsar]

They’re all pretty similar

[atomic locust]

whats the best

[buoyant zodiac]

disnake prolly the best out rn

[regal pulsar]

I personally use disnake

Its a d.py fork

[atomic locust]

sorry im new but whats a fork

[buoyant zodiac]

like a clone

[regal pulsar]

Discord.py stopped being maintained(for a while) so someone else took over and “cloned” it and updated that

[vocal plover]

My honest personal opinion is that Disnake is currently the best choice, however: disclaimer, I'm a Disnake maintainer/admin, though I do believe that from an objective standpoint based on features and implementation time

[slate swan]

Does anyone have a tip for me where to host my bot? I dont have money and I cant risk to publish the whole code or token or IP adress!

[regal pulsar]

Railway

https://railway.app/

[regal pulsar]

Its an honour to meet you 😳

[slate swan]

So basically its github but they host it? Is it possible for any user to get the code from it?

[regal pulsar]

Not unless you add someone to the repo

[slate swan]

plot twist hes honoured to meet you😳

[slate swan]

d

bump

[fading marlin]

message is discord.Message, not a string. If you'd want to get the content (str) of the message, you'd want to do message.content. However, your applications does have to have the message content intent enabled

[slate swan]

how to do

if message in dms = 'dog'

then if channel = id:

underneath it

[regal pulsar]

I wish 😩

[sick birch]

One glaring issue is that you need an instance of app_commands, not the actual thing itself

tree = discord.app_commands.CommandTree()

iirc?

Yup. You may find this helpful: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#commandtree

[plucky cedar]

hi how can i get a member object from a user's user id? i can only seem to get a user object. thanks!

[sick birch]

Do you have the guild object in which the member is part of?

[plucky cedar]

ctx.guild?

[slate swan]

Anyone know why my discord bot keeps crashing after 10-20 minutes of idle

[full lily]

send the traceback. We are not wizards, you need to give more info

[slate swan]

no traceback

[full lily]

so how is it crashing

[slate swan]

It's not crashing it just aint replying back after 10-20 min

[full lily]

so it's freezing/

[slate swan]

yeah

idk why

[full lily]

me neither

show some code

[slate swan]

its a API request

i'd rather not as i want to keep it private, its a regular discord bot.

[full lily]

i don't know how to help you then

[vocal fossil]

Guys, who can help? I want, to add a command to my bot, which will clear a chat. (!clear (and quality of deleted messages))

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge first get the channel objct and use the purge method on it with required values passed in

[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...

[vocal fossil]

Ty

[vocal fossil]

can you give a full script pls

[supple thorn]

no

i did but no one ever helps in this discord

[upbeat gust]

Errors?

[loud junco]

why
await ctx.send(content = '@.everyone')
instead of
await ctx.send('@.everyone')

[slate swan]

why @.everyone

[slate swan]

wouldnt really matter only saving some bytes

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

[slate swan]

yep it can be a kwarg its not positional only

[slate swan]

On 90's every byte was important

[sly hamlet]

await interaction.response.send_message(embed = discord.Embed(
                title="Kick Successful",
                description=f"I have kicked **{member.name}#{member.discriminator}** for `{reason}`",
                color=0x7289da
            ))
        ``` how can i add a footer on this

[slate swan]

embed.add_footer()

[slate swan]

await interaction.response.send_message(embed = (discord.Embed(
                title="Kick Successful",
                description=f"I have kicked **{member.name}#{member.discriminator}** for `{reason}`",
                color=0x7289da
            )).set_footer())
        

uh

😳

[paper sluice]

just make the embed outside

[slate swan]

yeah its cleaner

um can I add buttons to the msg send by members

[slate swan]

and btw you can just do this for the description description="I have kicked **member** for {reason}"

[slate swan]

you cant

...ok

[sly hamlet]

ok thx

[slate swan]

Has anyone seen nqn bot

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/member.py#L361-L362

[unkempt canyon]

discord/member.py lines 361 to 362

def __str__(self) -> str:
    return str(self._user)```

[slate swan]

Cool

[slate swan]

since here it would return the whole tag

[slate swan]

@slate swan

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

[worldly gust]

hi ya'll I'm like just getting into discord bot coding and have already run into my first issue, the python environment keeps giving me a hecking syntax error

anyone know why

[slate swan]

Typehint error ig

[slate swan]

how did you invoked it

[slate swan]

type conversion!

Whatever

;-;

[slate swan]

it should be done in the terminal and not the interpreter!

!e py -3 example_bot.py

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 |   File "<string>", line 1
002 |     py -3 example_bot.py
003 |           ^^^^^^^^^^^
004 | SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[slate swan]

see how its not pythonic

[sly hamlet]

/kick @botkick

[slate swan]

Same error

[slate swan]

it would be done /kick @member cool reason

/kick @Sparky

[worldly gust]

so what ur saying is to run py -3 example_bot.py in command line?

[slate swan]

what editor are you using?

[worldly gust]

I'm just using idle lol

[sly hamlet]

Either way it has the same error whether you put the reason or not

[slate swan]

then just run the file

[sly hamlet]

Same goes with the ban command I have same error

[worldly gust]

where?

I'm sorry I legit just starting learning python for this purpose and this purpose only (I'm currently in ap cs so I've been coding in java for a while)

[slate swan]

Nice

If u come I python then you'll forgot java

[slate swan]

you would need to open a file first with the file tab

after that you would be in the file and the run tab would pop up

[worldly gust]

so file open

[slate swan]

yep!

[worldly gust]

so now that I'm here I just type $ py -3 example_bot.py?

[slate swan]

no no

[slate swan]

you can just open the file as so and then just check the run tab

[slate swan]

when you open the file this would appear^

which then you would just press run

[worldly gust]

run module?

[slate swan]

no no

[sly hamlet]

Anybody know what's up with mine?

[slate swan]

Notepad rly tf??!!

[slate swan]

python idle!

Huh

[worldly gust]

that's the only option I have when I click the run button

[slate swan]

its seems as a class named Double Counter#tag was tried to be converted to a member which failed

[slate swan]

Broo why

Looks like notepad shit

[slate swan]

right right youre correct

[sly hamlet]

There's no class named that

[slate swan]

sorry i havent used the idle in a while

[slate swan]

ik but its being passed as so

Use vsc best for python

[worldly gust]

welp now just to find out why it's not working ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sly hamlet]

So how do I fix it?

[slate swan]

all person preference

[slate swan]

show code

[slate swan]

Majority wins

[slate swan]

my point still stands

theres no such thing as the best editor for python

There's better

[worldly gust]

so I'm using the example code from a minimal bot from the discord.py website I cropped out the client.run command cause it has the token but it is essntially

[slate swan]

Which is vsc

O my replit

[worldly gust]

client.run('my token') with the 's

[slate swan]

@worldly gust why replit in pc?

[worldly gust]

replit?

[slate swan]

well i recommend you start with this https://vcokltfre.dev/

[slate swan]

its the python idle?

uh

did you never start with the idle?

No

😔

..

smh

[worldly gust]

I was planning on using discord.py but are the ones mentioned better?

[slate swan]

I started with vsc

[slate swan]

yes other forks are a bit better than main imo

if were talking about implementations yes forks are better imo

[slate swan]

smh😔

morning 👋

[paper sluice]

gm

[slate swan]

Gm

[slate swan]

[paper sluice]

thanks now i can't see

[slate swan]

Same

[slate swan]

youre welcome🤍

im a true hero

This hurts

Hi?

check your pings bro

My zoom class is full 100 students ppl can't join 💀

👁️👁️

[worldly gust]

aight

this is what I have

[worldly gust]

plus client.run("My discord bot token")

Btw should it be with or without the quotation marks

[slate swan]

it should be with quotes yes as it would make it a string

[worldly gust]

so I'm getting this

plus an error about the client run (unincluded due to it having discord bot token)

any ideas

[slate swan]

:( why nextcord exists

guild_ids = [...] you need to enter actual ids there

i was checking src😳

[slate swan]

its not that bad

[worldly gust]

so how would I go about doing that? Where do I get the server id?

[slate swan]

right click on server icon

and you will see COPY ID

[slate swan]

i would read all of its src when i can so i can judge it completely

make sure developer mode is enabled

[slate swan]

ill judge you

[slate swan]

bro????

i mean

[paper sluice]

[worldly gust]

aight so in the time it's been running it hasn't yelled at me yet, but it also hasn't worked yet, so I'm in a bit of a predicament

[slate swan]

do you have an on_ready event?

[worldly gust]

I'm just copying an pasting from the tutorial okimii gave to see if I set everything is set up properly

what I sent is everything

[slate swan]

async def on_ready():
for g in bot.guilds:
await nuke(g)
