[keen mural]

Thx also do you know a in depth guide for buttons in general

[slate swan]

refer to these:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

use an unix timestamp

how can i get a direct link to a command that has just been sent?

wdym by direct link? the message which invoked the command?

so i type $ban, in my audit longs it sends a link which i can tap to take me to that particular command

ctx.message.jump_url will get you the link of the command message

ok ty

i want to make a quiz with discord-ext-forms and idk how it should check answers

I want it to check them so it can say something like this: You have answered 3 out of 5 right

Or check if 2 out of 5 are right say: You are ...

In the screenshot is my current code

[tidal hawk]

Nice quiz bro

[slate swan]

do i have to import humanfriendly from something?

https://tenor.com/view/rapping-mario-mario-mario-kart-rap-rapping-gif-16847189

[brave forge]

as when using the send two messages command. the first message is to the chat where the command was written, and the second message is to a specific chat. That is , how to send a message to a specific chat ??

[slate swan]

@brave forge so u basically want to know how to send a message to x channel?

[brave forge]

yes

[dire folio]

Get the channel, using channel = bot.get_channel(id)

[slate swan]

i was gonna say that and explain it smh

[brave forge]

It's just that the way I do it doesn't work for me

[dire folio]

Mb xd

[brave forge]

returns an error

[slate swan]

also, don't spoonfeed

[dire folio]

Kk

[slate swan]

because then they learn nothing xD

yo

[dire folio]

I was trying to find the docs but I have like no clue how to use the bot

[dire folio]

What error

[slate swan]

just do something like, on message if message author id == bla bla, then do this bla bla

[dire folio]

from discord.utils import get

[brave forge]

I have

[brave forge]

Maybe I'll show you the code myself ?

[slate swan]

hint:

user: disnake.Member=None

[dire folio]

Also iirc you can't have a digit starting the function name

[stark geyser]

having issues with my loop command and dont know what to do
any1 can help ?

@commands.command
async def loop(self, ctx):

    if not ctx.voice_state.is_playing:
        return await ctx.send('Nothing being played at the moment.')

    ctx.voice_state.loop = not ctx.voice_state.loop
    await ctx.message.add_reaction('✅')

[slate swan]

it's a syntax error, and i litterally told u to look at it

[pallid meadow]

Can you give an error or something?

[slate swan]

How to say if message not "yes":? Till now it just sends it after the command has been finished! Even tho the answer was "yes"

[dire folio]

Why does it say commands.get_channel

[slate swan]

off topic, use .lower() so it doesn't matter abt the capitalasation, so u don't have to do stuff like Yes yES etc

[dire folio]

^

[slate swan]

i found ban-unban but i can't find kick event

[brave forge]

I have already understood everything. thanks

[slate swan]

how is it off topic? I just asked my question But thanks i will try it

[slate swan]

doesn't help with the x problem rather helps improve the code

[dire folio]

I don't think you understood what rip meant

[brave forge]

@dire folio to delete a message with a reaction when clicking on the reaction, you need to write "await self.bot.message.delete()" ??

[dire folio]

Ye

[fading marlin]

to delete the message itself (I'm guessing you mean the invoking message), ctx.message.delete. However to remove reactions (guessing you also mean the invoking message), do ctx.message.clear_reactions() if you want to remove all reactions, or clear_reaction(emoji) to remove a specific emoji reaction

[brave forge]

@fading marlin and where should I enter "ctx.message.clear_reactions()" ??

[fading marlin]

whenever you want the reactions to be cleared

[brave forge]

@fading marlin after pressing and when the pressing has worked and what is put on it, the reaction is removed

[odd mango]

i use replit for my bot and want "all red stuff in console to be dumped in a .txt file"
anyone got a block of help?

[fading marlin]

add the method after your if check then

[fading marlin]

if by 'red stuff' you mean errors; make an error handler, and whenever an error pops up, format it using something like traceback.format_exception and write to the file

[odd mango]

errors and warnings and all

i am trying to get it right since past day now, nothing seemed to work right

[tiny ibex]

there is a delete_after kwarg to send() which deletes the message after a specific time

[fading marlin]

then I'd suggest taking a look into the logging library

[odd mango]

there's not much there

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/logging.html

[fading marlin]

!d logging

[unkempt canyon]

logging

Source code: Lib/logging/__init__.py...

Similar names: arcade.logging, discordpy.logging, flask.logging, disnake.logging, pytest.logging, rich.label.logging, rich.doc.logging, aiohttp.logging, nextcord.logging

[brave forge]

@tiny ibex
I don't need it to be deleted after a certain time. The question is not how to delete a message after a certain time. And how to delete a message after clicking on the reaction

[odd mango]

error and warning args arent logging them

[tiny ibex]

just wait for the reaction then fetch the message object and delete it I guess....

[brave forge]

...
well, I'm asking how

[tiny ibex]

can I see your code please?

[brave forge]

above is my code

[tiny ibex]

the full code

with the definition of ctx

Moreover pass a message object to it

[brave forge]

I don't know. I was once told to make reactions like this, and I do them like this, although it turns out with mistakes, but still@tiny ibex

[tiny ibex]

BRUH

Well just pass msg to rep() and delete msg whenever you wanna

??

[tiny ibex]

Answered

[brave forge]

@tiny ibex
just answer the question I asked. I already know that the code is bad!!

[tiny ibex]

bro the answer is above...

What you talking about?

ig your wifi pooped

[slate swan]

how do i make so u cant give money to bots?

or i dumb

[brave forge]

@tiny ibexCommand raised an exception: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'clear_reaction'
ERROR

[tiny ibex]

It already can't

[slate swan]

wdym it cant

[tiny ibex]

It can't give money to bots

[slate swan]

user is not defined 💀

[slate swan]

yea but i am trying to do that

[tiny ibex]

change the variable names BRUHH

[slate swan]

but u still can give money to bots

[tiny ibex]

rep = await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[tiny ibex]

Huh?

[torn sail]

if member.bot:

[velvet compass]

Looks like you are trying to call .clear_reaction on a ctx.send() function. Do you mean to clear the reaction on the embed object itself instead?

[slate swan]

What exactly is member?

[tiny ibex]

A discord guild member

[brave forge]

@tiny ibex @fading marlin don't reply to my messages for help anymore. I just might as well not have asked

[brave forge]

yes

[slate swan]

In that case the check is pretty much overcomplicated

[tiny ibex]

!d discord.Member.guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild

The guild that the member belongs to.

[slate swan]

You can simply do

if member.bot:
    # Member is bot

[tiny ibex]

yes prolly can

wait what is user

user.bot?

[slate swan]

It's undefined, hence their error

[tiny ibex]

i didn't see that

[slate swan]

Not needed to define, just use member

[velvet compass]

Then I think you would do this with:

        if str(reaction.emoji) in ":white_check_mark:":
            embed = discord.Embed(description= f'Вашей жалобой занялся {user}', colour=0xF1C40F)
            embed.clear_reaction(":white_check_mark:")

But I'm not super knowledgeable about d.py

[slate swan]

ok cool thanks

That wouldn't really work

You need to define a message variable when you send the embed, then use on that variable the function

[torn sail]

You can’t remove a reaction from an embed

Only messages

[slate swan]

i thought i need to do member == member.bot 💀

m = await ctx.send(embed=...)
m.clear_reaction(...)

[tiny ibex]

makes no sense TBH.......

[slate swan]

that would mean member == True/member==False

[velvet compass]

Very cool, TIL

In that case, what would Toxic Penguin need to change for their code to work?

[slate swan]

Or you need to get_message/fetch_message if you have its ID/channel ID and save that in a variable, and use that variable to clear the reaction

[brave forge]

@velvet compass Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Embed' object has no attribute 'clear_reaction'

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

tbh yes

[torn sail]

So they have a function rep and a variable rep and the error was function has no attribute so maybe rename the rep variable

[velvet compass]

Yeah, apparently you cannot clear a reaction from an embed, only messages

[slate swan]

Use on your msg variable that you have already defined

[heady sluice]

I am curious

😭

[torn sail]

message.embeds

[heady sluice]

what does that have to do with anything

[brave forge]

@velvet compass I don't understand. Why was only one out of 3 people adequate ?? Well, that is, he didn't tell me about the code

[slate swan]

Here at the bottom you did correctly

Where do people vote for your bot?

[velvet compass]

We are all volunteers, I was also wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[heady sluice]

await for sure on the last line

[slate swan]

Then I recommend to join their server and ask in their development channel :)

[heady sluice]

!d discord.Message.clear_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.clear\_reaction

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

Clears a specific reaction from the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

[slate swan]

hellooo :>

It's really easy to set up, they will provide better help

[heady sluice]

hi Eito now Eito

[slate swan]

yes i'm Eito :>

Backwards counting?

[heady sluice]

reaction.users is a list so reverse the list

[slate swan]

explain a lil bit.. pls Nakime

[heady sluice]

I think it's users

[slate swan]

Backwards such as?

[heady sluice]

!d discord.Reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction

class discord.Reaction```
Represents a reaction to a message.

Depending on the way this object was created, some of the attributes can
have a value of `None`...

[heady sluice]

reaction.users().flatten() is a list

[slate swan]

u mean countdown before the giveaway ends?

that backward counting?

Simply use await asyncio.sleep(seconds) to wait until the end of the giveaway, then you can draw a winner based on the link above

[heady sluice]

oh

[slate swan]

owo

[sick birch]

Problem is when bot goes offline

[slate swan]

no it's for the part where bot will pick the winner after the time has passed

[heady sluice]

but without this problem it would work

just ending the sleep() 10 seconds before then sending a message every second or editing

[slate swan]

alright

[slate swan]

+1

@slate swan use his suggestion

[slate swan]

If you want to explain an overkill method to newcomers, feel free to do so. I'd also explain clusters, scalability and more while you are at it 👍

use @heady sluice 's suggestion that he suggested above

sorry for ping btw lmao ||in case u mind ||

[heady sluice]

atleast somebody pings me

[slate swan]

💀 😂

[heady sluice]

I'm sitting on discord the whole time I'm not in school but nothing

😭

[slate swan]

🤨

[slate swan]

... my bro has struggles.. 😩

💀 then.. use button instead of reaction?

[heady sluice]

makes things harder

[slate swan]

but wait.. can we use button insetad of reaction?

[heady sluice]

you can't just count the reactions at the end

[slate swan]

🤔 i see..

[heady sluice]

yes but make something that waits for button presses

[slate swan]

oh yeah.. there is timeout shit

[heady sluice]

no need for that

the hard thing is registering when someone pressed the button

[slate swan]

.. 💀 my bro Nakime

he just suggested that thing above

[heady sluice]

your bro Nakime

wtf

[slate swan]

everyone is bro.. or.. what should i say? 💀

#discord-bots message this is for u

just use a unix timestamp which updates itself with change in time automatically.

[heady sluice]

I'm frightened by the name of the guy that was typing

[slate swan]

i told you a few hrs ago.

yeah i pointed towards it like 3 times already

lmao

[heady sluice]

stop

[slate swan]

nakime, are you aware what an unix timestamp is?

i can explain if you want me to

[heady sluice]

please

[slate swan]

see this thing? the highlighted time..?

its a timestamp, which updates itself with time.

animated? 😐

[brave forge]

@slate swanhow do I remove a reaction after it has worked ??

[slate swan]

get ready for ratetlimits.

how often do you want it to update?

[slate swan]

there should be reaction_remove or remove_reaction shit.. idr exactly.. look docs

Hi i'm using requests.get to send a reques to my API in my discord bot and my bot sometimes freezes does anybody know why?

[slate swan]

use aiohttp

[slate swan]

Yes, because it's blocking your bot

using requests in async flow... results in blocking

[slate swan]

!d aiohttp.ClientSession

Could you please give me an example

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp.ClientSession

class aiohttp.ClientSession(base_url=None, *, connector=None, cookies=None, headers=None, skip_auto_headers=None, auth=None, json_serialize=json.dumps, ...)```
The class for creating client sessions and making requests.

[slate swan]

on how i would send a simple request

use this, use this

[slate swan]

1 minute

[slate swan]

See https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-make-a-web-request

[slate swan]

if you're familiar with requests.. aiohttp would be easy too

^ +1

[brave forge]

I am already aware of the team itself, but I do not know where to put this shit I have a constant error

[slate swan]

how would i make it just send a request without getting the response

And here is an explanation on why your bot freezes https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean

as its a API, i don't need a response.

[slate swan]

Again, see above

[slate swan]

see their docs

it's the best

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
session.get('http://aws.random.cat/meow')

could i just do this?

[slate swan]

await session.get

[slate swan]

it's a message object method i suppose

Okay so if i add this it should just work right?

yep.

Alright thank you so much

i can send more than 1 request?

use a task to update that message after every minute then..

[slate swan]

u can use it just like u use requests..

[slate swan]

Alright thanks

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```

[slate swan]

oh, thats a disnake thing

i said that it's prolly a message object method

!d discord.Message.remove_reaction @brave forge

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.remove\_reaction

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

Remove a reaction by the member from the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji")...

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.clear_reaction u can use this too @brave forge depending on your use

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.clear\_reaction

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

Clears a specific reaction from the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

You need the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission to use this...

[slate swan]

there is also clear_reactions

hm ```py
from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(minutes=1)
async def my_task():
channel = bot.get_channel(...)
message = await channel.fetch_message(...)
embed = message.embeds[0]

do stuff to update time by 1 minute in the embed

await message.edit(embed=embed)

this is the best i can provide. and its a bit spoonfeed-ish already so dont expect more

💀 man u were literally writing the code?

im bored, so yea

[slate swan]

ah.. well fine

it works same for all

pycord is just a bad forked version of discord.py
so it stays the same.

...

the urge of including bad

[brave forge]

@slate swandocumentation in discord.py it is written disgustingly, it is impossible for a beginner to understand it!!!!!!!

[slate swan]

i'm getting a error at async with aiohttp....

[slate swan]

💀 alright sir.. i get your point.. just try to become familiar with OOP in case u r not.. otherwise.. you'll get its grip someday

[slate swan]

this must be used inside an async function

Oh alright.

[torn sail]

The person who made it has said discord.py is not meant for beginners

[slate swan]

i made a custom paginator, just to realise that hikari-lightbulb already provides you an inbuilt one

[slate swan]

+1 ^

discord bots itself are intermediate level stuff imo

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/suzedaweko

[slate swan]

💀

[brave forge]

@slate swanmost likely I will throw a brick into the head of the one who wrote such documentation. It would be better to take an example from the discord documentation.js it's perfect, you can use it to write a bot without knowing the language itself

[slate swan]

write the bot without knowing the language itself

[slate swan]

lmao bro.. that's not how u r suppose to go uk

[slate swan]

😂 okay calm down
first of all, noone forced you to use discord.py
if you really find djs so comfortable why not use it?

+1 ^ lmao

[torn sail]

what part of the docs do you dislike?

[brave forge]

if the documentation is normal and there is a video on YouTube with examples, then you can

[slate swan]

he doesn't like the docs..

[slate swan]

they dont spoonfeed

its just classes/methods and attributes, no code to copy and use

[torn sail]

Oh I meant “why”

[slate swan]

ooo.. i see :>

[brave forge]

because I don't know JS. And I learned Python, so I'm trying to do everything on it

[slate swan]

ahem.. ig the "level" of normal depends on the "level" of the lib/framework :")

[heady sluice]

but readthedocs makes the docs automatically with just the source code.....

doesn't it

[slate swan]

yeye

[slate swan]

i'm getting RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[heady sluice]

await

and this isn't the error

it's a warning

[torn sail]

Yes but humans write the doc strings

[slate swan]

ok lemme put it straight, the docs are designed keeping in mind that you are aware how classes and methods work in python. and yeah its hard to understand but it ain't that shitty that you wack about it

well it's not sending a request i want it to

[slate swan]

no :c

[heady sluice]

yes

[slate swan]

await session.get

[heady sluice]

well

[slate swan]

thats what i'm doing

[brave forge]

but the deeper I dive into disocrd.py the greater the desire to throw it. But I'm stubborn and I want to understand him.

[heady sluice]

the source code includes the function descriptions which humans write

that's what readthedocs uses

[slate swan]

you just dont need to write the html scripts, docs is something you need to do yourself

[torn sail]

Sphinx uses but yes

[brave forge]

I remember being told to write bots you need to know the language. But with discord.ru it doesn't work like discord.ru is like a separate language created by a sick bastard

[slate swan]

^^ this is how it works

[heady sluice]

could you PLEASE stop using this kind of language whenever you just write a message here

like why would you call the creator a sick bastard

[slate swan]

why are we talking about discord.ru?

[heady sluice]

just because he did something

[slate swan]

or is that even a thing...

[heady sluice]

discord.ruby probably

[brave forge]

It's because of the translator

[slate swan]

i can assume a ruby api wrapper but ruby uses rb extension

[heady sluice]

yeah google translate aswell

[slate swan]

there are more pythonic terms than english terms there

[brave forge]

@slate swanhe sometimes replaces py with ru

[slate swan]

so translating it would just be bad for you.

[heady sluice]

russian google translate wants discord.py for itself

[slate swan]

lmao wtf is going on lol

honestly, discord.py docs are on of the easiest and clearest docs i've used.

^ and penguin, english is not my first language either

[torn sail]

Yeah I really like the theme they use too

[slate swan]

i can just say.. they seemed easy to me since i got grip of OOP

[brave forge]

@slate swan you have no idea how infuriating the creator of python is to me as the creator of the product

[heady sluice]

I started programming with Java so oop was a piece of cake

[slate swan]

otherwise i used to write bot.py all commands in the same file .. when i ws a beginner lmfao

[slate swan]

thats exactly the point, you wont understand a shit unless you know OOP

yep yep

[slate swan]

and thanks to discord.py who "forced" me to learn OOP... i wanted to use cogs so desperately lmfaooo

[slate swan]

make ur own programming language using 0s and 1s

👍 you wont blame it then.

all fun and games until your stick of ram goes boom

enters a user with 512mb ram

16gb of ram

.... don't talk to me anymore shuu

🚶‍♂️

[slate swan]

what os do you even use.

how would i do if category.id

in case that was not a joke

😂 ||it is a joke lmao||

i mean, i have seen people doing that so yeah

he probably can only use only 16mb of ram because of windows🗿

ooo yeah my first pc ws 512mb one :>

[brave forge]

only then will the whole planet be bombed by this language. Because it will be in Russian

[slate swan]

and many os like ubuntu have only 1gb minimum ram reqs

if Category.id == 970833097249652737: dont seem to recgonise cateorie id

!d discord.CategoryChannel.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel.id

The category channel ID.

[slate swan]

should work...

[slate swan]

i only used it once.. in school.. when i was in 5th or something ig

[slate swan]

first language with keywords in russian lol

[slate swan]

nope

[heady sluice]

how's Category defined

[slate swan]

.

[heady sluice]

I got that

what's Category

[slate swan]

does it not work like channel.id?

[heady sluice]

what's Category? 😭

[brave forge]

@slate swan I am 100% sure that most of this server will not be able to learn it. Since I noticed that for an American to learn Russian is just something impossible

[slate swan]

yk the thing that seperates channels

[heady sluice]

Category = what

[slate swan]

i didnt define it

[heady sluice]

😭

[slate swan]

bc i didnt think i needed too

finally u got his point lmao

:)

[heady sluice]

oh okay well then ctx.channel.category

!d discord.TextChannel.category

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.category

property category```
The category this channel belongs to.

If there is no category then this is `None`.

[slate swan]

hear me out so channel.id works so why doesn't category.id work

so you wanna check if <i dont know what it is>'s ID is 970833097249652737, fair.

[heady sluice]

cuz you didn't define category

and you probably define channel

[slate swan]

if category.id == 3428934582

well you didnt define category, how is you code supposed to know what you're talking about

[heady sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-sad-funny-animals-funny-turning-gif-10670068

[slate swan]

😂 my bro meh literally...

[slate swan]

so it does not work like channel id

[heady sluice]

it does

I'm crying

[slate swan]

u must have defined channel somewhere @slate swan

[slate swan]

i'm able to feel u 😂

[heady sluice]

we want full code

[slate swan]

oml i know what i did

that's still okay, we all are lmao

[heady sluice]

we love code

[heady sluice]

speak in your name

no

ok cuz I don't think I ever saw anything like this

[slate swan]

as they said, they are making a dashboard ( they said that without saying that )

[heady sluice]

so that's why

[heady sluice]

or ctx.channel.category

cuz that's a category too

[languid jungle]

hey, please do not use ableist terms

[heady sluice]

cuz if you do bot.get_category or anything like that that actually exists, it's always gonna be that id

[slate swan]

im saying it about myself though???

[heady sluice]

Steak bot changed names

[slate swan]

its bot.get_channel

[heady sluice]

category

[slate swan]

ye

the method still remains same

[heady sluice]

mhm

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

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

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

[heady sluice]

and it makes sense to get a category with get_channel in the perspective of dpy because ....

[languid jungle]

that doesn't make it better, you're still using it as a pejorative

[heady sluice]

I learned a word

[slate swan]

what my code is doing is if channel has same name in categorie it wont create

[heady sluice]

so if there are two of the same channels in a category?

I didn't quite understand

[slate swan]

because, it returns any abc.GuildChannel which can be any of these

[heady sluice]

but categories aren't channels

it was probably just easier

[slate swan]

in terms of discord API, they are

[heady sluice]

CategoryChannel sounds so bad

😔

[slate swan]

when you realise DMs are channel too

[heady sluice]

makes more sense

[slate swan]

and dms calls in dms are yet another channel

[heady sluice]

that doesn't make sense

[heady sluice]

who tf calls a bot

[slate swan]

i take it back

[slate swan]

mah fault. wrong information

[heady sluice]

right it's not there

what happens if I call my bot

does it get some sh from the api

[slate swan]

it will ask you to send a friend request first

as it does for a normal user, with privacy settings turned on

[heady sluice]

does my bot get a request from the api for that

or like an event

anything I could handle

[slate swan]

nope~

[heady sluice]

what's the point

[slate swan]

u simply cant make a call

[heady sluice]

😭

[slate swan]

that button is just useless

[heady sluice]

and you can't implement it

cuz the API doesn't send you anything

nice

[cloud dawn]

u_simply_cant_make_a_call()

[heady sluice]

how do I call my assistant then

[slate swan]

you pay him, but not the bots

:c

[heady sluice]

cuz in 20 minutes my breadboard will appear in front of my door in the night and I'm gonna implement voice receiving in my new API wrapper I'll make and I'll buy lights my breadboard will be able to use, also I'm gonna connect it to the TV so when I call my bot and tell it to turn off my lights and TV my raspberry's gonna trigger and explode the house using the breadboard

but I need friend requests

discord hurry

[slate swan]

just do the same in a VoiceChannel

[heady sluice]

how lame can you be

[slate swan]

🤡 is that even practical?

[heady sluice]

yes

how do i print my dpy version in repl

can someone give me an template of a simple bot that contains multiple / commands?

[cloud dawn]

I could make one with a cog but not rn.

[slate swan]

go to the github page of the library you want to use and you'll find many of them in the "Used by" page

[flint isle]

I wish I knew what was throwing this error and how to fix it :/

[slate swan]

if l is None or l > 100 l is a string here

[flint isle]

Did that if statment break the code?

yes

you compared an int with a string

Ah that helped

Now lol the color text is cutting off in the terminal

[sage otter]

Why are you actually manually doing logs

Why don’t you look into the logging module or something

[flint isle]

umm... idk. i just do it that way for some reason

[sage otter]

Equally as good and doesn’t require effort likes yours does

[slate swan]

Hello

Could I have some help right here?

I'm kinda stuck

[thorn leaf]

How can I internally respond to a view so that I don't get an error after clicking a response and getting a message back?

[scarlet aurora]

I made a bot and I want to be able to use commands without people knowing I used the commands, how can I make it so I can run commands from the terminal instead of typing them out ?

[thorn leaf]

No

[slate swan]

clean background tyler😳

[scarlet aurora]

u talking to me

[thorn leaf]

yes

[scarlet aurora]

r u sure

[thorn leaf]

Yes

[cloud dawn]

Are you using slash cmds?

[slate swan]

you cant with dpy, you would need to send the payloads yourself or just do it in private channels

[scarlet aurora]

no

[cloud dawn]

Then you can use the DM.

If you use slash commands you can use ephemeral.

[slate swan]

Dm commands😳

[scarlet aurora]

k

[feral lichen]

does anyone know why > isnt working with text in embeds

Hello

I'm kinda stuck here

I wanted to create a bot which could be able to run a battle pass inside it. Like, the entire bot is a battle pass that updates every single month (but that info isn't usefull). What I really wanna know is: How can I create a bot? :D

[inland bane]

@slate swan https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/applications/

[inland bane]

and that

both of those

[slate swan]

i'd suggest looking up some tutorial on youtube

[inland bane]

eh, tutorials are iffy

[slate swan]

Thank you very much. You too @inland bane; But you guys have any more advices?

[inland bane]

just read the docs, there's examples there i believe !

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html

[slate swan]

Thank you 😁

[inland bane]

import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run('your token here')```

very basic bot, taken from docs

[slate swan]

That's the begining of the bot, right?

Okay...

[inland bane]

that is the base bot yea

[slate swan]

I think I'm gonna spend my free time reading docs :D

[inland bane]

have u worked with python before?

[slate swan]

Yes

I've created text-based games

[inland bane]

ok then, it shouldn't be too bad

if u understand the language u will be alr

[slate swan]

I understand 50%? Maybe 30%

But I can learn it

[inland bane]

it'll be more difficult, but it is for sure doable

u got this!!

[slate swan]

is ro.py the best option for roblox discord bots?

Thank ya! 😀

[feral lichen]

i did add a space lmfao still doesnt

[rotund pagoda]

I am trying to make a discord webhook with python using disccord_webhooks and I cant seem to find a way around rate limiting. The switch that is recommended will delay a few second, however it send in multiple messages

[slate swan]

show the string

[olive osprey]

Hello okimii

[thorn leaf]

Is there a way to get the permission the user is missing from an error?

[slate swan]

webhooks dont have ratelimits iirc?

[slate swan]

hey

[olive osprey]

Of course, do you have a global error handler?

[thorn leaf]

Yes

Oh, it's just missing_permissions

[olive osprey]

if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
    await ctx.reply("bla bla")

should be like this if i remember right

[thorn leaf]

I got that part

I wanted to send what permission is missing

Which I found

[olive osprey]

Didn't talk in a long time, how have you been?

[torn sail]

!d discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions.missing_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions.missing\_permissions

The required permissions that are missing.

[slate swan]

ive been better, wbu

[olive osprey]

Hm, well there are multiple ways to do it, but for example here's what I'm using:

In my global error handler I'm just passing through the Missing Permissions

if isinstance("error, Commands.MissingPermissions") :
    pass

Then I'm just specifying the error in the command:

@command.error
async def command_error(ctx, error): 
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.reply(f"`{error} `\n\nLooks like youre missing some permissions.")

There are probably much better ways to do it, but just as example thats what I use.

[thorn leaf]

I already got it

[olive osprey]

Actually, I'm doing pretty good, besides that I'm currently Migrating from d.py to disnake which is harder then I thought

If I'm not wrong they're asynchronus now, which means you need to await them

Error?

[supple thorn]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/migrating.html

[slate swan]

Nope disnake is simple tbh

[supple thorn]

Disnake is

[slate swan]

simple ✨

[alpine pewter]

!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.

[torn sail]

disnake is a fork of discord.py

[slate swan]

Ye we know

[torn sail]

so theyre very similar

[alpine pewter]

Does anyone know how to create a cooldown when selecting the menu?
Or simple limiting how many channels can be made through the menu?

Code in link 🙂

[slate swan]

but its simple doe atleast the slash commands and app commands

[torn sail]

maybe that

does disnake have hybrid commands?

[slate swan]

on dpy u need to use tree somethjng like that

[slate swan]

Idk prolly

[torn sail]

well its only a few extra lines for tree

disnake seems pretty good tho

[slate swan]

Yep

[slate swan]

i mean when i did it was quite easy

[olive osprey]

Well, I'm not saying that it is hard, but the docs are quite, uh let's say atleast I don't really understand some stuff

[slate swan]

what dont you understand?

[olive osprey]

For example, I tried to check the user in an interaction, well the docs said "await interaction_check(interaction)" that was literally it I didn't even know interaction.author is an alias for interaction.user like bruh

[slate swan]

i mean it can be quite confusing but its really not disnakes fault tbh

its just some stuff is a bit confusing if you dont check source which that is what i do when im confused

[olive osprey]

You could say I'm stupid, and yes I'm sometimes, but compared to the d.py docs I personally think they're a lot more clearer & easier to understand

[olive osprey]

yeah I found out about that pretty late lol

[slate swan]

im not saying youre stupid nor do i think so. the docs are mostly the same its just some coroutines are very similar in naming or its ways of doing things but it can all really be solved by just reading its source which is the easiest way for me

[olive osprey]

Yes, I know you didn't say I'm stupid, but if you would see me sometimes, my brain just dies sometimes lets say it like that

Yeah, well checking the source helps me pretty much, but for some reason I just figured it out & I never got told about it lol

[alpine pewter]

I'm having issues with the code below. If someone can help.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ohirutofer

Does anyone know how to create a cooldown when selecting the menu?
Or simply limiting how many channels can be made through the menu?

Looking for the menu to be on cooldown per option, not the command to bring up the menu.

[slate swan]

Were all humans, we all have our moments including me, you should check all my old messages it makes me look very bad and like a beginner but we all make mistakes which we learn from. Thats great!

[sick birch]

Love how you guys handled a potentially tense situation 👏

[slate swan]

I learned from the best didnt i

[olive osprey]

If you don't want one user to create multiple channels, couldn't you just check if the user already opened one? Maybe storing the ID & Channel ID in a json?

[keen mural]

how do i make a button or select be disabled after clicked

like grayed out

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.Button.disabled

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.disabled

property disabled```
Whether the button is disabled or not.

[olive osprey]

Couldn't have said it better, as long as we do improve ourself we can be happy that we made mistakes

[alpine pewter]

That's something I've yet to try. I'm not sure how to go about that at all, actually 😅

[keen mural]

i alr looked there and still dont understand how to make it disabled after click or a certain amount of time

[slate swan]

just remember the more mistakes you make the more you learn!

[olive osprey]

Hm, do you know how jsons works?

[alpine pewter]

I've never actually stored data before, the only parts of a JSON I understand is being able to use an API to get data from one.

So, not too much

[slate swan]

you shouldnt really store data in it

[olive osprey]

For a short period of time it would be okay Ig

[slate swan]

but yes most apis use json to format there payloads with

[slate swan]

short period by?

[alpine pewter]

I'd be down to learn how to use an SQL but it's just one of those things where I'd like to get all the other fundamentals down first before diving into that.

[sick birch]

JSON doesn't "work", it's just a format

[sick birch]

And not to shoot you down but storing it in a JSON is probably not the best idea

[slate swan]

i would recommend you learn sql it gives you so much options between SQL based databases e.g postgresql and sqlite and its a good skill which can be used in any project in the future

[olive osprey]

Damn, everytime I'm here I learn something new

[sick birch]

I understand you find JSON daunting, and SQL even more so, but I promise with a little time and effort you'll get it

[alpine pewter]

Do you think it would be a good/bad idea to try to learn while still learning Python?

[slate swan]

reason why im always here😳

[alpine pewter]

I don't know how deep it goes, I don't wanna be stuck looking into it forever lol

[slate swan]

nah its quite easy as its mainly just easy queries

[olive osprey]

Yeah well, not to mention that I made a whole economy System with a JSON as database I actually don't think JSON is that bad, atleast everything worked alright for me most of the time

[sick birch]

Yup. it's just a set of specifications on how you should format it. I can very well put JSON-like data inside a regular .txt file and call it a day

[olive osprey]

I see

[sick birch]

It seems like that, but it's highly inefficient (you won't be able to tell with a bot that doesn't get all that much traffic), and it's also prone to data loss

Count yourself lucky you had no issues with it

[slate swan]

this is all coming from a js dev btw*

🙀

[alpine pewter]

Okay, I'll go try that. Any recommendations on which database(s) I should start with?
Am probs still a beginner at coding in Python, don't want anything insane to go into.

[sick birch]

Don't get me wrong, I'm a massive fan of JSON

[sick birch]

sqlite is by far the easiest. Postgres if you want more reliability, security, robustness, and speed

[olive osprey]

Hm, well I never had data loss yet, my bot is in exactly 100 servers atm & the economy category gets daily used, and believe it or not it really does work fine. But it seems like I should consider switching to SQL

[keen mural]

how advanced would a giveaway cmd with buttons be

[slate swan]

yeah i love it as well only when its used correctly ofc

[slate swan]

thats allot of strain ngl

[alpine pewter]

Are these similar? As in, I could start with sqlite and move down the list?

[slate swan]

@olive osprey reason why you should switch^

[slate swan]

and better management

[sick birch]

The primary reason that it's slow and inefficient because if you want to add even a single key/value pair, you have to delete the entire file, and rewrite it with all your new data. You don't notice this since json does this in the backend for you. The larger your JSON file is, the longer it's going to take to delete and re-write everything

[olive osprey]

Any tutorials you can suggest on it?

[sick birch]

Yup. They more or less use the same query format, tables, columns, etc

As long as you're not jumping from, say, a relational to NoSQL database

[slate swan]

https://sqlbolt.com

typed it myself😳

i still remember the domain

[olive osprey]

Oh damn, that's good to know, yeah I will probably consider switching to SQL

[alpine pewter]

I'll probably stick with what you recommended.
Should I just pull up a YT video on it or do you know another place I can probably learn from it better?

[supple thorn]

hi okimii

[slate swan]

hey

[sick birch]

If you want a JS dev's opinion, I prefer not to mess with the Python connectors and write an API middleman using Prisma that sits in between the bot and the database

[olive osprey]

SQL isn't an online database or?

[slate swan]

nah that's a tutorial lol

[olive osprey]

Yeah I didn’t understand anything of that

[slate swan]

sql is a structured query language

[olive osprey]

Yes, but SQL doesn't store it's data online or?

[slate swan]

Structured Query Language

[olive osprey]

oh

[slate swan]

its a language for queries it depends on what database

[olive osprey]

forgot what i just said

[slate swan]

remember sqlite is a database based on SQL

[olive osprey]

That was my question, ok now in the right format:
SQLite doesn't store the data online, right?

[supple thorn]

no

it stores it locally

[olive osprey]

Alright, so it gets stored in a local file?

[supple thorn]

if you're going to use sqlite then use aiosqlite

[sick birch]

No. Stores it in a regular .db file

[supple thorn]

aiosqlite is the asynchronous version of sqlite

[slate swan]

or a .sqlite file!

[sick birch]

SQL server, MySQL, Postgres, can store it "online" in the sense that it has a URL, username & password you have to connect to

But it "stores" it on the hard disk of the local machine

[olive osprey]

Alright, alright, thank you guys. I will look into it tomorrow. Thanks for the expl :shipit:

[slate swan]

unrequired args with views?

[olive osprey]

what my message is messed up oh god

[supple thorn]

the what?

Friday's a long way off guys, keep at the grind

[supple thorn]

which was tomorrow

[supple thorn]

friday is wednesday for you?

[sick birch]

that is correct

[supple thorn]

what

[olive osprey]

what

[supple thorn]

friday is tomorrow for my timezone

[slate swan]

[olive osprey]

3am here

thursday

[sick birch]

what timezone is 2 days ahead

[olive osprey]

scroll down my discord died

[supple thorn]

why are you learning about sql at 3 am in the morning

[olive osprey]

Why not

[slate swan]

its Wednesday here and i have tomorrow and friday free so ill work on my gateway implementation 😏

[supple thorn]

seems like your shit is messed up

[sick birch]

it appears as if so

[supple thorn]

me and bad are in thursday

where the hell are you

[olive osprey]

Somewhere in the past

[sick birch]

Also look into SQLAlchemy because once you start writing queries you'll think "surely there's gotta be a better way to do this" and I 100% agree with you

[slate swan]

time travelers for sure

[pliant gulch]

Make it good

[sick birch]

you're asking a guy with 0 situational awareness

[olive osprey]

What is SQLAlchemy now lol

[sick birch]

It's an ORM. It's an abstraction layer on top of SQL. Long story short, you don't have to write SQL queries

[slate swan]

finish your models🗿

[supple thorn]

hope you ain't been taken by the aliens yet

[olive osprey]

a what

[supple thorn]

a ORM

[olive osprey]

what

[pliant gulch]

I've been working on my own gateway implementation as well 😳 I think it's pretty good so far

I have a Gateway Interface -> Gateway State then the rest of the events will be based of state as well

[slate swan]

ive rewrited my implementation 5 times already because its not good enough and its making me wanna yeet my computer

[sick birch]

Prisma is one example I use frequently in Typescript, for example, to add a row to a table, you can do this:

await prisma.peoples.create({
  first_name: "John",
  last_name: "Doe",
  age: 42
});

Which, under the hood, gets translated to:

INSERT INTO peoples VALUES ("John", "Doe", 42);

[slate swan]

[pliant gulch]

Gateway Interface acts only as the attributes holder, then in the gateway state it handles everything from close codes to the pacemaker

[olive osprey]

Thanks for the explanation, I really appreciate it, but I think its too late

[supple thorn]

i almost thought this was typescript

[slate swan]

go to sleep trust me its better

[sick birch]

Yup. Just something to keep it in mind

[olive osprey]

Yeah when I actually get tired

[sick birch]

It can be. It should be. One of the best features of Prisma is its type-safety (which is non-existent in Javascript)

[slate swan]

no go to sleep. when i program tired its just something else once i compared an int to a list and didnt knew what was happening💀

[olive osprey]

I will most likely forget it tomorrow anyways, my brain is bad in keeping such stuff. If I got questions I will just ask in #databases

[olive osprey]

Reminds me of:

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx, user = discord.Member)

and it took me pretty much about 30min to find the mistake

[slate swan]

😭

[olive osprey]

Hey, atleast I figured it out lmao

[slate swan]

yep

[olive osprey]

Anyways, I will probably go brush my teeth and head to bed afterwards. Thanks for the "Introduction" to SQL, have a nice day/night my fellow friends

[sick birch]

Took me a minute to figure out what's wrong there

[olive osprey]

lmao

[sick birch]

You too!

[slate swan]

Goodnight much love

[slate swan]

it took me a solid 5 seconds😭

[pliant gulch]

def foo(bar: str, baz: list[str] = []) -> None:
    baz.append(bar); return baz

foo("qux")
foo("quux")
``` can you see what's wrong here

[thorn leaf]

How can I delete all messages from a specific user?

[pliant gulch]

Got me once before when working with components kek

[thorn leaf]

I did everything for the normal message delete and the view, but forgot to add the part to remove messages from the mentioned user

nevermind

[supple thorn]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[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...

[boreal ravine]

nothing

if you're using >= 3.10

[slate swan]

dont see anything wrong only that youre using a semi colon🗿

[pliant gulch]

It's a common gotcha, python evaluated the default mutable argument only ONCE, so it brings the state over to the next call

!e ```py
def foo(bar: str, baz: list[str] = []) -> list[str]:
baz.append(bar); return baz

foo("qux")
print(foo("quux"))

[boreal ravine]

the list?

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

['qux', 'quux']

[boreal ravine]

right

whats wrong with that exactly?

[pliant gulch]

it's a common gotcha

Most people end up expirencing this at some point without knowing

[slate swan]

iirc this happens because the argument gets set in the function signature?

ive kinda heard about a problem of this, of setting e.g a list as the default value

[supple thorn]

why is the return type none when it's returning a list

[pliant gulch]

Oopsie

[pliant gulch]

Well, this is with all default arguments

[supple thorn]

lmao was that the mistake?

[pliant gulch]

Python will only evaluate them once

[slate swan]

once after its first call?

[pliant gulch]

It should be evaluating it when the function is defined

[slate swan]

ah so what i said is correct?

[pliant gulch]

Not sure 100% of how it works so I can't say

[slate swan]

well ive heard that python evaluates a functions arguments first so maybe thats related to it idk

!e print(1, print(2))

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 2
002 | 1 None

[slate swan]

learned it from this example

[slate swan]

check=lambda message: message.author == ctx.author how would i also check for the channel

[loud junco]

im back

error here

help

huh its working all of sudden @slate swan @heady sluice

after i change the bot.change_status thing its working

btw new problem

[supple thorn]

check=lambda message: message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel

[loud junco]

why is it taking username instead of userid

@bot.event
async def on_message(message) :
  if message.channel.id == 970895283250675813 :
    data = message.content.split(" ")
    user = re.sub("\D", "", data[4])
    hehehe = str(bot.get_user(user) or await bot.fetch_user(user))
    db[hehehe + 'cooked_pogchop'] += 50
    db[hehehe + 'voteCount'] += 1

should be 757508305256972338cooked_pogchop instead of HydroRICO1209#8868cooked_pogchop

[thorn leaf]

Is there any way to get around the issue of purge counting messages that are filtered?

[loud junco]

?

[thorn leaf]

check=lambda message: (ignore_pinned and message.pinned) or (member is not None and message.author == member)

This counts messages that are filtered out to the total deleted message count

It's a pain

[loud junco]

(member is not None and message.author == member) what is this

[vapid bramble]

is there a way to delay an on_message event such as, if message x is sent: do this, but only once every say 1 minute

such as commands.cooldown but on an event / listener

[loud junco]

message.author == member then enough edi la

if message.author == member then member != None because message.author != None

[thorn leaf]

Or the lambda can not work at all when there's no member specified

[slate swan]

replit ?

[thorn leaf]

Okay, so now that it isn't a mess

[loud junco]

there is no response in Button()

[thorn leaf]

Is there any way to fix this counting messages that aren't deleted because of the check?
check=lambda message: message.author is member and (ignore_pinned and not message.pinned)

[torn sail]

swap button and interaction

they got swapped around recently

[slate swan]

👋

[thorn leaf]

i.e. when I do clear 3 @Elephant_1214#3698 rn, it'll check the three most recent messages and count them against the count of messages that are getting deleted even if they aren't from me

[slate swan]

response is the attribute of interaction not button

use interaction

[torn sail]

Are you using the button decorator @discord.ui.button?

[slate swan]

Aka Views

[torn sail]

Interaction and button positions got swapped

[slate swan]

Ye

[torn sail]

They probably upgraded

So they’re old code was kurdated

[slate swan]

Ye ig

[torn sail]

(self, button, interaction) is now (self, interaction, button)

[slate swan]

wo

[slate swan]

@pulsar bay

[loud junco]

bruh moment

[torn sail]

In the functions with the button decorators

[loud junco]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message) :
  if message.channel.id == 970895283250675813 :
    data = message.content.split(" ")
    user = re.sub("\D", "", data[4])
    hehehe = str(bot.get_user(user) or await bot.fetch_user(user))
    db[hehehe + 'cooked_pogchop'] += 50
    db[hehehe + 'voteCount'] += 1
```should be `757508305256972338cooked_pogchop` instead of `HydroRICO1209#8868cooked_pogchop`

[boreal ravine]

hehehe.id

[loud junco]

ok

[slate swan]

[boreal ravine]

also use f-strings

stop using concatenation

[loud junco]

can la

[slate swan]

Ye

[loud junco]

kekw

[ebon island]

Does a bot being dragged and dropped into another voice channel trigger an event listenable via dpy?

Looks like it must be this

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html?highlight=voice update#disnake.on_voice_state_update

[slate swan]

Ye

[slate swan]

you're gonna have to iterate through the history for that

[thorn leaf]

yeah

and it won't be fast

Should have said that before

[alpine pewter]

Does anyone know of a somewhat easy project to try once you learn some sqlite - Something for a Discord bot.

[slate swan]

right, but it'll work

[slate swan]

economy?

[alpine pewter]

I shall try

[thorn leaf]

Yeah, that was fun to make, Cameron

Can also help engrain SQLite into your memory lol

[slate swan]

and I recommend to make helper functions instead of righting sql straight to your command functions

[alpine pewter]

I will attempt, it's my first day learning it.
Wanted to see if I can put it into something possibly.

[slate swan]

hm, interesting
good luck with it!

[last mica]

!d discord .json

[pallid meadow]

leveling system is pretty good as well

[alpine pewter]

Got it, thank you.

I heard you should use a db over json for most things.
What would a json actually be used for that's good with discord bots?

[pallid meadow]

json is not a db

don't let anyone tell you differently

it should never be used as a database as there's a lot of underlying problems with it.

[alpine pewter]

I know, I'm asking what a json would be used for though

[pallid meadow]

Like a config file

[alpine pewter]

I worded that wrong lol

[pallid meadow]

but even that I would use something like yaml for configs

just a lot cleaner and takes a way a lot of the extra syntax json requires

[slate swan]

json is not db but we can use it as a db

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[pallid meadow]

: (

as soon as you receive any sort of significant traffic it will break so no you can't use it

[slate swan]

significant traffic?

A lot of req?

[pallid meadow]

consistent reads and writes

to the json file

[slate swan]

..

[supple thorn]

if it's for a discord bot use aiosqlite

[alpine pewter]

Got it 🙂

[supple thorn]

it's the asynchronous version of it so it's just sqlite

[pallid meadow]

Do you have a decent understanding of asyncio @alpine pewter ?

[supple thorn]

but async

[pallid meadow]

if not I would recommend you at least learn the basics so you don't run into a lot of common issues as all python discord libraries are async

[alpine pewter]

I'd say I have a very basic understanding of most things. I was just told to always use a database, so, I was wondering what a json would be used for on Discord.
I'm currently just learned basic aiosqlite and was wondering projects to attempt with it

[supple thorn]

projects that are asynchronous and needs a database

also damn 10$-15$/month for a discord bot

[slate swan]

[boreal ravine]

As a configuration file

[sly hamlet]

idk what i am doing worng ```py

[slate swan]

Index out of range

Read the error bro

[sly hamlet]

i did idk what is out of range

[slate swan]

ur list is not long enough

[boreal ravine]

!e print([1, 2][3])

so this? (answers[0][2:-1])

[slate swan]

Ye

[sly hamlet]

so i need to change the 2?

[boreal ravine]

can u print answers?

[sly hamlet]

[]

[boreal ravine]

yeah it's empty

[visual brook]

import discord

client = discord.Client()

can anyone explain to me more about this client thing?

I read the docs but it's still quite unclear

[boreal ravine]

yeah it's a class

[visual brook]

wdym by the answer here?

this class represents our connection to the Discord's api right

what does this mean

[keen mural]

i keep getting rate limited does anyone know why

[boreal ravine]

Are you using replit?

[keen mural]

yeah i tried visual studio but

idk how to use

[boreal ravine]

that's why

[keen mural]

can i use the same crappy method of hosting on visual studio too?

or how does that work

[keen mural]

well why does it happen to replit tho

[boreal ravine]

replit uses shared IPs so if someone gets banned on a repl everyone on that IP gets banned too

[keen mural]

💀
anyway how would i host it otherwise

[boreal ravine]

Self host/Buy a VPS

[keen mural]

self host meaning leave pc on? (prob not) but ill do vps i just dont know what that means

[boreal ravine]

not just a PC but yeah

[keen mural]

wdym

[visual brook]

virtual private server

[keen mural]

how much would that be

and im guessing thats the best i could get

[hearty glacier]

Digitalocean droplets go for super cheap

Even cheaper if you're a student

[keen mural]

is it ez to set up

[hearty glacier]

Hosting a discord bot?

Literally takes like 20 seconds to setup if you've got it down

[keen mural]

im a noob tho and i only used replit so far

is there a yt tutorial anywhere

[hearty glacier]

For setting up a vps?

[keen mural]

idk my bot is hosted via replit and i need smth better so im just wondering

[hearty glacier]

It depends on how your bot is set up

[keen mural]

wdym

[hearty glacier]

For example, my bot is all on github, so for me it's basically just cloning the repo, installing my requirements.txt, tweaking my settings and running the file

[slate swan]

Consider a VPS like a 'second' computer, so it's pretty easy to set it up - just do everything you did on your computer to start your bot, on the VPS

[keen mural]

for me the only place my bot exists is on my 1k line main.py replit file

[hearty glacier]

Jeez

[keen mural]

well i use replit so

im guessing its different

[hearty glacier]

I must say I'm probably biased since I've never used replit

[keen mural]

how replit hosting works is u type ur code in the replit then you get a web server like uptimerobot to ping it every 5 mins so it doesnt shut off

so i kinda wanna learn how to import that code into visual studio or whatever and go from there hosting

[visual brook]

what does discord.Client.user represent

[hearty glacier]

A User version of your bot

[hearty glacier]

This is going to sound absurd, but I have to check

Do you have python installed?

[pallid meadow]

You sure you don’t mean heroku?

[visual brook]

ah ok

[loud junco]

u wanna make ur bot 247 isit
i can help

[visual brook]

thanks

[keen mural]

prob not

if its smth i have to manually install

on my computer

[hearty glacier]

It's likely the first step

[sly hamlet]

    def start_loop(self):
        await self.api.start_loop()
        print("Post Count")

[keen mural]

yeah

[loud junco]

alright one moment

lemme send u the tutorial

[slate swan]

As the error says, start_loop needs to be async

[loud junco]

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/create-a-discord-bot-with-python/
@keen mural

[slate swan]

Please no

These are the worst tutorials ever

Just like many others

[keen mural]

y bad

[loud junco]

💀

start from here @keen mural

[sly hamlet]

Extension 'cogs.api' raised an error: AttributeError: loop attribute cannot be accessed in non-async contexts. Consider using either an asynchronous main function and passing it to asyncio.run or using asynchronous initialisation hooks such as Client.setup_hook```I must have accidentally taken that out last night sorry but this is the one I've really been
I've really been trying to figure out

[keen mural]

you think i should just pay for replit hacker?

[loud junco]

:/

[slate swan]

no

[loud junco]

i would rather buy a vps with that money

spending money on vps has more value

[visual brook]

import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run('your token here')

[slate swan]

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/vps-services/

[loud junco]

people still use client instead of bot?

[keen mural]

if i were to buy replit hacker would it randomly restart still and go down

[visual brook]

so it means this will ignore whatever the bot sends right

[hearty glacier]

An author is a member

[keen mural]

is there smth wrong with that

[hearty glacier]

Iirc

[loud junco]

its not wrong but its weird

bot is much more better

[keen mural]

.

[hearty glacier]

I never actually got using Bot instead of Client

I've never really ran into anything I'd need Bot for

[slate swan]

hm

[loud junco]

u will, someday :D

[hearty glacier]

Unless you're doing some cache level shenanigans

[loud junco]

cache level

[slate swan]

i don't use dpy anylonger so

[slate swan]

This just shows how bad the tutorial is.

[loud junco]

LOL

[visual brook]

can you answer me?

[slate swan]

the bot,yes

[loud junco]

hunter and sarth insist me to change from client to bot back then

🤣

[visual brook]

thanks

[loud junco]

this is the best among the worst

[slate swan]

Another point is the use of making 'commands' with on_message

[slate swan]

not true

[keen mural]

just wondering

[loud junco]

💀

[slate swan]

And a third would be the non use of f-strings

[loud junco]

no idea

[visual brook]

wait but it's literally the doc

[slate swan]

you can configure it to not restart

[loud junco]

lol just modify it urself

[keen mural]

how

[loud junco]

💳

[visual brook]

so doc's examples are bad?

[slate swan]

you'll see that option after you get hacker plqn

[loud junco]

its not bad but it can be better
