helo?😭

[granite parcel]

ctx.message.created_at.timestamp()```

using this i get time 5 hours ago how i get the time that is now

[shrewd apex]

use datetime.datetime.utcnow()

[slate swan]

that gives you the UTC datetime, as the name suggests

[granite parcel]

i want it like <t:73777377:R>

[slate swan]

!d datetime.datetime.astimezone

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.astimezone

datetime.astimezone(tz=None)```
Return a [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") object with new [`tzinfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.tzinfo "datetime.datetime.tzinfo") attribute *tz*, adjusting the date and time data so the result is the same UTC time as *self*, but in *tz*’s local time.

If provided, *tz* must be an instance of a [`tzinfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.tzinfo "datetime.tzinfo") subclass, and its [`utcoffset()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcoffset "datetime.datetime.utcoffset") and [`dst()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.dst "datetime.datetime.dst") methods must not return `None`. If *self* is naive, it is presumed to represent time in the system timezone.

If called without arguments (or with `tz=None`) the system local timezone is assumed for the target timezone. The `.tzinfo` attribute of the converted datetime instance will be set to an instance of [`timezone`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timezone "datetime.timezone") with the zone name and offset obtained from the OS.

[slate swan]

enter your timezone for the tz arg

[maiden fable]

just do datetime.now()

!d datetime.datetime.now

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.now

classmethod datetime.now(tz=None)```
Return the current local date and time.

If optional argument *tz* is `None` or not specified, this is like [`today()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.today "datetime.datetime.today"), but, if possible, supplies more precision than can be gotten from going through a [`time.time()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.time "time.time") timestamp (for example, this may be possible on platforms supplying the C `gettimeofday()` function).

If *tz* is not `None`, it must be an instance of a [`tzinfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.tzinfo "datetime.tzinfo") subclass, and the current date and time are converted to *tz*’s time zone.

This function is preferred over [`today()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.today "datetime.datetime.today") and [`utcnow()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcnow "datetime.datetime.utcnow").

[slate swan]

yea that too, but just to make sure it returns my timezone even when hosted on a vps from another location, i prefer using astimezone

[iron sorrel]

on_member_leave or on_member_remove

[maiden fable]

leave doesn't exists

[iron sorrel]

remove?

[maiden fable]

it does

[iron sorrel]

hehe

[stiff gorge]

how to add server icon in embed author ?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.icon

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.icon

property icon```
Returns the guild’s icon asset, if available.

[slate swan]

and use the url property on it

sure why not

[light violet]

can i add buttons in my bot's custom rich presence?

[slate swan]

no

[light violet]

;aw;

[slate swan]

#965291480992321536

[light violet]

!ping

[unkempt canyon]

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #bot-commands channel instead.

[slate swan]

huh?

[velvet tinsel]

how would one find the arguments for a command? I kinda forgot lmao

dead chat

[placid skiff]

Wtf?

[velvet tinsel]

i agree

[placid skiff]

wdym find the arguments for a command?

[velvet tinsel]

like

@bot.command()
async def command(ctx, arg1):
  await ctx.send(arg1)

and it would say something like
command name: command, arguments: arg1

i think there's something like <> for required and [] for optional?

[solemn igloo]

i think most ides show u the arguments already

[velvet tinsel]

no, to send the arguments in discord

[winged bone]

help command?

[velvet tinsel]

kinda

i mean yeah

[solemn igloo]

oh its just !help

mostly

[velvet tinsel]

bruh

[solemn igloo]

for bots?

[velvet tinsel]

I'm coding my own help command

[solemn igloo]

if thats what ur talking about

[solemn igloo]

wym

explain

[slate swan]

Just do

[placid skiff]

uhm all commands are an instance of discord.ext.commands.Command class, if you check the doc you can get all those parameters
to get all the commands of your bot you can use discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

[velvet tinsel]

alr thanks

after surfing the docs I found my answer, thanks a lot!

[placid skiff]

np

[slate swan]

i want to host my bot on heroku but this comes up;
I watched a youtube tutorial and it didnt help me

[maiden fable]

Yes, in the help command

[velvet tinsel]

ok

how to get that though lmao

[dapper cobalt]

Heroku isn't the best option for hosting a Discord bot. Consider using a cheap hosting service or even a free one.

[light violet]

is anybody selling discord verified bot dm me@molten umbra give space after if

[velvet tinsel]

...

[cloud dawn]

Besides the fact KeyError said we help with discord related code not Heroku.

[slate swan]

Hey anyone want to help me build a simple discord bot. I have no experience. It is a small bot that orders something through an API

[molten umbra]

hi guys, uhm sorta new and i followed a guide on youtube. I dont understand the problem here can anyone explain it? Thanks a lot

File "main.py", line 15
await message.channel.send('sup')
^
SyntaxError: 'await' outside function
^(the error)

[placid skiff]

The problem is that it seems that you don't know python

[light violet]

duhh give space after if

[light violet]

it's ok we should always encourage

[molten umbra]

i learned a bit but literally very little

[cloud dawn]

!indention

[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

[light violet]

i can understand how much little

[placid skiff]

indentation in python is important

[light violet]

@molten umbragive space after if

[slate swan]

Which import for buttons?

how to install discord py 2.0?

[light violet]

yesh

[light violet]

from discord.ui import buttons

[slate swan]

Ik this is a dumb question

[placid skiff]

PEP8 suggests tabs (4 spaces)

[cloud dawn]

Most modern forks have those already implemented.

[slate swan]

k

[slate swan]

Any docs link?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[light violet]

yesh

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View"), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

[slate swan]

how to install discord.py 2.0?

[cloud dawn]

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

[placid skiff]

you must have git installed

[slate swan]

thx

[light violet]

;

[molten umbra]

alr thx that worked.

[cloud dawn]

Like any normal developer

[light violet]

ok

[placid skiff]

There are more amateurs here than devs

[light violet]

;aw;

q1)which is fast for deleting channels httpx,aiohttp or aiosonic

[cloud dawn]

same

[cloud dawn]

Discord.py

[placid skiff]

lol

[boreal ravine]

Depends on the environment

[light violet]

not in option

[light violet]

;aw;

[cloud dawn]

!pypi aiosonic

[unkempt canyon]

aiosonic v0.14.0

Async http client

[slate swan]

Can someone help me make a small simple discord bot with only one function or ordering a service through a api

[light violet]

what do u need kid+_+

which service

[slate swan]

ill dm you

[placid skiff]

[light violet]

ok

[cloud dawn]

I'd go with aiohttp.

[light violet]

hmm

[cloud dawn]

Def not aiosonic since that doesn't get updated as often.

[placid skiff]

you studied aiosonic before give the answer? xD

[boreal ravine]

One liners: no

[light violet]

though aiosonic is 101%faster than other apis still aiohttp fafstest in calling apis fast one after another

[light violet]

yesh little bit

[boreal ravine]

aiosonic is a library, not an API

[light violet]

where did i say api

+_+

[placid skiff]

it requires you some skills to convert some operation into 1 line
People here don't have those skills

[light violet]

i have tried each of the 3 and aiohttp is most effective so i recommend to use aiohttp in ur antinuke bots

: )

[slate swan]

hey @light violet can you look at my dms

[light violet]

ok

[slate swan]

pls send dpy 2.0 docs

[light violet]

;aw;

alsmost same with added features

idk the new docs

[slate swan]

why would it be faster?

[placid skiff]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[slate swan]

you forgot the protocol😭

[placid skiff]

didn't know that discord don't recognize urls without protocol

[slate swan]

no it needs it lol

only with invites

discord.gg/python

[placid skiff]

well no if you try to send a link in whatsapp for example the protocol is not required

[slate swan]

yeah but not in discord lol

[slate swan]

that sucks tho 🏌️‍♀️

For someone like me who often types . instead of space

[placid skiff]

well you have to type a domain after the . to make it a link

[slate swan]

Hey can you look at my DMs please

[velvet compass]

What project are you seeking help with? Its usually better to ask your question in-channel so more people can help.

[placid skiff]

He asked me to make a bot lel

[sick birch]

!rule 6

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

6. Do not post unapproved advertising.

[sick birch]

That includes in the DMs of server members

[placid skiff]

I did not

[slate swan]

I have no experience with discord bots and little with python and need help to create a discord bot that orders things through a API that I have.

[placid skiff]

That requires some experience tho, start by reading documentation or watching some course

[velvet compass]

Alrighty. Well you could work out how to make the API call and then add that to a simple bot. What API are you using?

[slate swan]

Can I DM you?

this is a help channel tho?

[velvet compass]

No, I don't provide help through DMs. Please ask your question in one of the available help channels (See #❓｜how-to-get-help ). The main reason is that by asking your question in public, everyone can contribute to the answer or benefit from it. Also, as we're a fairly large server (300k+ members), it prevents our staff from getting flooded with DM requests for help.

[placid skiff]

Yes but it's not like we can provide the entire code of a project

We are here to help the others, not to develop their ideas

[slate swan]

Where can I find someone that could maybe develop it for free

I cant afford to pay someone

[velvet compass]

We can help you learn how to do it, but won't do it for you

[slate swan]

just ask here?

[slate swan]

I need it quickly and it will take a lot longer for me to learn it then build it..

nevermind though

[velvet compass]

Alrighty. If you want to learn how to do it, we will be here

[slate swan]

self is meant to be used only inside classes

[slate swan]

me who names it myself

[rapid knoll]

Is this how you add reactions ? and what would go into the ()

await ctx.add_reaction()

[slate swan]

upto you

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.message

The message that triggered the command being executed.

Note

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

[slate swan]

returns a Message object

!d discord.Message.add_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.add\_reaction

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

Adds a reaction to 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]

it should always be named self🧍

[slate swan]

🚶‍♂️ true, but naming it "myself" wont make the interpreter shout at you

😭

apparently, pylance wont bother

best param naming award goes to you

[dull terrace]

potatoes

[rain salmon]

how i make embed msgs?

i never rly understood

olie cool pfp

[dull terrace]

embed = discord.Embed(title="a string", text="a string")

message.channel.send(embed=embed)

create the object and then send it, will vary depending on what library you're using etc.

thanks

[rain salmon]

also what do i do when it says intents unfilled?

[dull terrace]

you're getting that for sending an embed?

[rain salmon]

client = discord.Client()

[rain salmon]

i did this and it said unexpected argument on the text part

[dull terrace]

oops

that was meant to be description=

[rain salmon]

ah yes fixed

[dull terrace]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#embed

there's the docs for embeds

[rain salmon]

thank you

[timber kindle]

I’m making a discord bot for my school final project and one of the requirements is a loop… I could be unoriginal and do a spam ping command but I want to be original. What type of command could I do that uses a loop

[boreal ravine]

A loop? for loop? while loop?

[timber kindle]

Any kind of loop

[slate swan]

use tasks loop then.

[boreal ravine]

Wdym by loop?

[slate swan]

Don't use spam bots

Against tos

[paper sluice]

self is only for when ur using classes

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about
the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead
passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[slate swan]

Huh ext

probably

[paper sluice]

watch them delete bot

[slate swan]

Lol

😂

@bot.event
async def on_message_edit(message):
    with open("logchannel.json", "r") as f:
        cfg = json.load(f)
        logchannel = cfg[str(message.guild.id)]
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Mohameme Logs", description="Logs message", colour=discord.Colour.random())
        embed.set_footer(text="Mohameme bot")
        await message.guild.get_channel(logchannel).send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

I'll just go away from here, I'm really having bad mood swings today :awkward:

Another one

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_message_edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message\_edit

discord.on_message_edit(before, after)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") receives an update event. If the message is not found
in the internal message cache, then these events will not be called.
Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old
or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the [`max_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") parameter
or use the [`on_raw_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_edit "discord.on_raw_message_edit") event instead...

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_message_edit(before: Message, after: Message):
  ...

ty

i thought it worked like other events like msg delete

[hardy yoke]

just a for loop? make a very simple tarot pull command, loop through list of card names and pull 3. Should be some decent examples online

my idea ur welcome

[slate swan]

he wants his bot to spam messages so a while loop is better

Nuke prob

Ayo

should delete this

[frail notch]

How can I make my bot do this for each message sent? ```py

q = str(ctx.message.content)
answer = requests.get({API}+{q})
print(answer['cnt'])```because ```py

@client.command()
async def on_message(ctx):
q = str(ctx.message.content)
answer = requests.get({API}+{q})
await ctx.send(answer['cnt'])

[slate swan]

do what?

and why are you making the content of the message a string?

[frail notch]

because i uesd to get an error

[slate swan]

the attribute returns a string

[frail notch]

ok

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

[slate swan]

and the error is probably an attribute error

because youre trying to do Message.message.content

its on message so it doesnt have context

and its message.channel.send

as message doesnt have such a method

OK

[maiden fable]

@slate swan u do know that u can combine all those messages in a single message, right?

[boreal ravine]

👆 It breaks ToS

[boreal ravine]

API+q

[slate swan]

never knew

[slate swan]

🥲

[frail notch]

mb

[slate swan]

its against tos and api abuse

[frail notch]

How can I make it so that every time a message get's sent in the server, the bot sends it to the API and sends the API response to the chat?

[slate swan]

should be a command

because if someone sends a simple hi the api is going to get a request

and if the api doesn't have a ratelimit thats fine but if it does thats kinda a problem and you should never spam an api or make unnecessary calls

use some kind of regex/logic to make sure when to make api calls

[gaunt ice]

guys

is there a way i can get about me of a user

[slate swan]

nope

[gaunt ice]

or can someone suggest this about me to be added in the api

[slate swan]

bots dont have access to the about me section

[bleak flower]

@client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(reaction):
    user_id = reaction.user_id
    await auto_lu_msg.edit(content=f"{auto_lu_msg.content}\n{discord.Guild.get_member(user_id)}")

Error:

-   File "G:\FreezeBot\gather.py", line 79, in on_raw_reaction_add
-     await auto_lu_msg_id_msg.edit(content=f"{auto_lu_msg_id_msg.content}\n{discord.Guild.get_member(user_id)}")
- TypeError: Guild.get_member() missing 1 required positional argument: 'user_id'

whats wrong with this 🤔

[slate swan]

should be using an instance of a guild

[maiden fable]

Yea, like reaction.guild

Heh

[slate swan]

reaction does not have an author/user

[maiden fable]

Ah I forgot it has users

[slate swan]

you can get a list of users though

hm

[maiden fable]

Nvm I just saw he has access to the id

[kind mulch]

how do I create a slash command?

[quaint epoch]

@commands.slash_command()``` decorator instead of `@bot.command()` and you're good

[kind mulch]

oh I was using @bot.commands

derp

[kind mulch]

oh this is disnake

[quaint epoch]

/discord

[kind mulch]

im using discord.py

[slate swan]

discord.py got a slash_command decorator?

[kind mulch]

I dont think so

[slate swan]

no.

[kind mulch]

lmao

[sick birch]

We use app commands

[slate swan]

oh yea, or hybrid_command for mixed ones

!d discord.Guild.owner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.owner

property owner```
The member that owns the guild.

[sick birch]

I guess not

[kind mulch]

sooo

[sick birch]

maybe I’m just bad

[maiden fable]

Python bot hates app commands

[bitter perch]

discord.app_commands.app_command

[sick birch]

I will self diagnose myself with skill issue

[bitter perch]

iirc

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.command

@discord.app_commands.command(*, name=..., description=...)```
Creates an application command from a regular function.

[maiden fable]

Ah

[kind mulch]

its a client.command thing no?

[slate swan]

app_commands is just a folder

[bitter perch]

the namespace*

[maiden fable]

Just like ext

[sick birch]

What about command tree? I think that was included

[bitter perch]

app_commands.CommandTree

[sick birch]

Ah yeah

[slate swan]

app_commands?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

i always called it a folder, cause it is what it is :/

[maiden fable]

Hahaha but in C# its like

namespace Name{}

Python just treats the folders as namespaces

[kind mulch]

app_commands.CommandTree? man Im new to this

[sick birch]

Yeah 2.0

[maiden fable]

Yea haha
There are a few examples in the repo u might wanna look at those

[slate swan]

discord.py uses CommandTree s to store application commands

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py

[kind mulch]

so theres no other way?

[slate swan]

nope~

[kind mulch]

oof

[slate swan]

if you use commands.Bot, a commandtree is automatically initalised ( from what i see in source )

[sick birch]

Why would you need len for that

[slate swan]

you know what len does right?

[kind mulch]

counts the lenght?

[sick birch]

Then it’s probably in your best interest to learn what it does before using it

Right, a guild can have one owner

[kind mulch]

so it counts 1

[sick birch]

Not like guild.owner can return an iterable anyway

[sick birch]

Well no

It’d count the letters in the name

[kind mulch]

oo

[sick birch]

Actually no I don’t think so

Since it’s a member object

Don’t know if discord.Member implements the len dunder

Yes

[slate swan]

you would have to iterate thru all bot.guilds and use the .owner property on them

[slate swan]

💀 would be a dumb move.

[placid skiff]

why iterate when list comprehension exists?

[slate swan]

it returns a list

why iterate through a list to return another list of the same elements

[slate swan]

for someone who doesnt know what len means, i dont want to make things complicated

[kind mulch]

oh btw how do you run a bot again after changing/updating the code?

[sick birch]

If you use extensions you can hot reload it

[slate swan]

you would have to do that manually, though there are some "save and run" extensions for most ides/editors

[sick birch]

If not you’ll have to kill the script and run it again

[sly hamlet]

If I'm using 2.0 am I am I required to use / command instead of regular commands?

[slate swan]

or cogs, as robin said

[sick birch]

You are not

[slate swan]

....doesnt a list comp also iterate.....

[sick birch]

Extensions, there exists a difference

[kind mulch]

I dont think I have an extension

[sly hamlet]

Interesting because since I switched nothing works and I get no errors

[sick birch]

That’s probably something wrong with your code

[slate swan]

message_content intents?

[sick birch]

Do you have any error handlers?

[sick birch]

Ah that

!intents is usually the culprit

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

@placid skiff :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

abcd

[placid skiff]

i don't see where the problem is

[paper sluice]

u dont need the list....

[slate swan]

bro

[paper sluice]

just ''.join(lst)

[sick birch]

Just use “”.join(lst)

[placid skiff]

yeah it was to show them how to convert to a string a list comprehension

[slate swan]

and i see no reason why the extra list comp if str.join accepts an iterable

so you still couldve use the generator without casting it to a list

but theres already a list so no point in that

[sly hamlet]

Enabled

[slate swan]

in the code too?

[sly hamlet]

Not every command has one

[sly hamlet]

Yep

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True  # Subscribe to the privileged members intent.





bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.',
                   status=discord.Status.dnd,
                   intents=intents,
                   activity=discord.Game('beach-hosting.com'))```

[slate swan]

see if you error handlers are stopping your errors from raising

thats not message_content intent

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages
which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client...

[sick birch]

Make sure it’s also enabled on the dashboard

[sly hamlet]

They are

So I need to do message_context=True

[slate swan]

message_content = True, yeah.

No

intents.message_content = True

Heh

[boreal ravine]

@sly hamlet What bot did you make? I'm curious

[sly hamlet]

It's a general custom Discord bot for my server

[kind mulch]

It worked this way

ignore the potatos

[slate swan]

What the

interactions.CommandContext huh?

[placid skiff]

[slate swan]

what library is that, just interested

interactions.py?

[kind mulch]

yea

wait

[slate swan]

nice choice 👌

[kind mulch]

discord-py-interactions

[heady sluice]

weird

[boreal ravine]

How did a bot for your own server get verified?

[sly hamlet]

I've made more than one bought my guy I've made a public bought and I make custom ones

[heady sluice]

bought?

[boreal ravine]

Right..👌

[boreal ravine]

Auto-correct probably

[vocal plover]

might be autocorrecting bot to it

[heady sluice]

so this is a missunderstanding and his custom bot isn't verified

the public one is

[boreal ravine]

Bot's don't have CPUs, your host does

[vocal plover]

they probably mean cpu usage of the process on the host?

if so, check out the psutil package

[boreal ravine]

yeah you can use psutil

[unkempt canyon]

@distant river, looks like you posted a Discord webhook URL. Therefore, your message has been removed, and your webhook has been deleted. You can re-create it if you wish to. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know.

[distant river]

Hi guys, I'm trying to send all of this images in one embed. Currently, I'm sending one message after one message. Does anyone has a solution to this? Here is my code:

@client.command()
async def multiple_charts(ctx, s1, e1):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title=f"6 Charts from date {s1} to {e1}", color=0x00ff00
    )
    file = []
    for ticker in tickers:
        VisualizeData(ticker, s1, e1, "gamma", theme).graph_data(zero_gamma=True)
        file.append(discord.File(f"{ticker}.png"))
        embed.set_image(url=f"attachment://{ticker}.png")
    # spx = file[0]
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    await ctx.send(file=file[0])
    await ctx.send(file=file[1])
    await ctx.send(file=file[2])
    await ctx.send(file=file[3])
    await ctx.send(file=file[4])
    await ctx.send(file=file[5])

[heady sluice]

I do think send has a files kwarg

but you can only have one image per embed

[distant river]

aww

[boreal ravine]

Wording is important, one can misunderstand what something is if the person didn't word it correctly and I'm just correcting them

[distant river]

ok, this is what I thought too. So do you think webhook is a good library to attach multiple pictures in one embed?

[heady sluice]

webhook library? ignoring discord limitations?

[distant river]

oh, it can send multiple images in one message but can't embed. I see

[heady sluice]

right

[distant river]

I do like to embed multiple images in one message though 😄

[heady sluice]

and you can send multiple images with the files kwarg

[boreal ravine]

Install it -> import it -> use it ```py
import psutil
percent = psutil.cpu_count() # I can't remember if this is the correct method or not, but tias

[slate swan]

What explains my on_message_delete logs only responding for messages that got sent and deleted after launching the bot

[sly hamlet]

Ignoring exception in view <Counter timeout=180.0 children=1> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.danger: 4> url=None disabled=False label='Close Ticket' emoji=None row=None>:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\culan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\discord\ui\view.py", line 414, in _scheduled_task

  File "C:\Users\culan\Desktop\beach hosting\beach hosting.py", line 641, in count
    channel_id = Interaction.channel.id
AttributeError: 'CachedSlotProperty' object has no attribute 'id'``` why do i get this?

[slate swan]

the heck is a cacheslotproperty

[sly hamlet]

idk

[slate swan]

what library are you using?

[boreal ravine]

You need an instance of Interaction, then use channel.id

[sly hamlet]

discord.py 2.0

[heady sluice]

normally....

[boreal ravine]

Up to you, idk

[sly hamlet]

So it needs a message to be sent first?

[heady sluice]

Nakime you have to start being more self-learning

[boreal ravine]

No, if it's in a button you can use interaction (or whatever your second parameter is called)

[sly hamlet]

I'm confused what I'm doing wrong

[boreal ravine]

Show me the top part of the button

[sly hamlet]

@discord.ui.button(label='Close Ticket', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def count(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        em = discord.Embed(color=0x1014C1,
                            description=(f"This ticket will close in 10 seconds."))
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)
        await asyncio.sleep(10)
        await interaction.channel.delete()
        with open("data.json") as f:
            data = json.load(f)
            ticket_number = int(data["ticket-counter"])
            channel = bot.get_channel(793569113708036106)
            color = discord.Color.red()
            em = discord.Embed(color=color, title="Ticket Closed ", description=(f"{interaction.user} closed a ticket\n **Ticket #**\n {ticket_number}"))
            await channel.send(embed=em)
            channel_id = Interaction.channel.id
            index = data["ticket-channel-ids"].index(channel_id)
            del data["ticket-channel-ids"][index]
            with open('data.json', 'w') as f:
                json.dump(data, f)    ```

[heady sluice]

you wrote Interaction not interaction

😭 😭

[boreal ravine]

☝️

[heady sluice]

I feel like I could make a verified bot

[slate swan]

@slate swan 😔 I apologize for the random ping but, is it ideal to create inside an extension (and where should I start it) or in the main bot file?

[heady sluice]

he'll never forgive u for that ping

[slate swan]

create < insert create what object here> inside an...

and im completely foine with pings

[slate swan]

uhhhh a task, Im going insane

[heady sluice]

you just ruined his job interview at google with that ping

[slate swan]

i'd prefer using a plugin

[slate swan]

hm, where would I start the task then? while loading the plugin?

[slate swan]

tasks have a auto_start kwarg

[boreal ravine]

☝️

[slate swan]

oh, I see

[slate swan]

alsooo, you gotta tasks.load(bot) (anywhere) to make those tasks work

[slate swan]

just stop, what do you even have with me, every time I write something, you got something to comment over 😭

[slate swan]

you can task_function.start() in the load function too

[slate swan]

yep, already saw that in the docs

[heady sluice]

I'm an idiot

[slate swan]

thanke a lot

yw

[boreal ravine]

We all are sometimes

[kind mulch]

this aint working for some reason

[slate swan]

dont say obvious things

[kind mulch]

any one know why?

[boreal ravine]

Don't be rude.

[slate swan]

ahem ahem

[boreal ravine]

Error?

[boreal ravine]

[heady sluice]

well you're always rude to me too

😔

[kind mulch]

?

[slate swan]

look who's saying that 😔

[heady sluice]

meh me 😔

[heady sluice]

me, meh

[kind mulch]

u wanted to see error?

[boreal ravine]

Slash command names can't have underscores

[slate swan]

you have some unwanted character in the command name

[slate swan]

you can~

[boreal ravine]

also, shouldn't it be components and not Components

[boreal ravine]

Really?

[slate swan]

yep

its commands.Bot

[paper sluice]

thats the sub command nvm its valid

[heady sluice]

it's commands.Bot

[kind mulch]

oh?

[sick birch]

Oh my

[boreal ravine]

Which library are you using?

[heady sluice]

what

[kind mulch]

hmm

[slate swan]

turns out that is pycord with discord.Bot

[kind mulch]

like what?

[boreal ravine]

What ryuga said lol, groups can't have them

[heady sluice]

my confusion isn't braining

[visual yarrow]

Hello 👋 Is it possible to split a command group across cogs? Or rather, if there is a command group in an existing cog, is it possible to add sub-commands in a separate cog (without modifying or monkey-patching the original cog)?

[heady sluice]

how about importing the group

or cog

or getting it through bot.get_cog

cuz then, sure, you only need the group instance to make a sub command for it

[visual yarrow]

You mean to monkey-patch it?

[kind mulch]

???

[heady sluice]

I don't know what you mean by monkey-patch

[paper sluice]

send doesn't have kwarg called Component read the error

[kind mulch]

it says it does in the api reference

[paper sluice]

!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...

[visual yarrow]

Oh, I mean externally modifying the class/instance. I'd like to not assume to much about how and in what order the cogs/extensions are initialised.

[slate swan]

@boreal ravine @paper sluice comments?

[kind mulch]

im using discord-py-interactions

[paper sluice]

ya mb

[slate swan]

😭 whats a maybe i just made a command to prove that lmao

[heady sluice]

the cogs are stored in the bot (I think in the cache), from which get_ gets all its information from

[spring verge]

Any game recommendations like we have akinator pypi

[paper sluice]

i just pulled out the src

[slate swan]

showing code will let you have better help

[kind mulch]

I did earlier

[heady sluice]

so you would just get the instance of the cog, and I'm not sure if bot.get_command can get a group

but might be

I'm gonna look

[sick birch]

Using a decorator or?

It’s easier if you’re just using the method calls

[slate swan]

it does

[heady sluice]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_command

get_command(name, /)```
Get a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") from the internal list
of commands.

This could also be used as a way to get aliases.

The name could be fully qualified (e.g. `'foo bar'`) will get
the subcommand `bar` of the group command `foo`. If a
subcommand is not found then `None` is returned just as usual...

[heady sluice]

it seems to

[visual yarrow]

Erm, so I was hoping if I define the same group in two cogs, with different sub-commands, then I load both cogs, that the sub-commands might be merged together somehow 😄 But that's probably wishful thinking.

[heady sluice]

I think one would be overwritten

[sick birch]

Doubtful

[slate swan]

it should raise an error saying command already exists

[heady sluice]

oh

[visual yarrow]

Ah right ; - ;

[heady sluice]

I'm throwing

[sick birch]

But your question of multiple subcommands spread throughout cogs should be possible

[kind mulch]

button = interactions.Button(
style=interactions.ButtonStyle.PRIMARY,
label="hello world!",
custom_id="hello"
)

@bot.command(
name="button_test",
description="This is the first command I made!",
scope=GUILD,
)
async def button_test(ctx):
await ctx.send("testing", components=button)

@bot.component("hello")
async def button_response(ctx):
await ctx.send("You clicked the Button :O", ephemeral=True)

bot.start()

[old temple]

hey, I'm kinda new to python, how do I install this API for my discord bot? https://github.com/pybricks/pybricks-api I'm trying to do it for vscode

[heady sluice]

yeah bot.get_command().command()😔

how you access bot is weird tho

[visual yarrow]

Oh right The context is adding another sub-command to a command group on ModMail using a plugin (which is just a cog essentially).

[sick birch]

You may have to go into the existing code to change things up a bit unfortunately

It’s not very plug and play

[visual yarrow]

Right I see. Erm, I'll probably just make it a top level command then.

[old temple]

hello? anyone

[boreal ravine]

Before you do anything python related please learn the language first, and you don't install APIs, you use them

[visual yarrow]

Thanks

[sick birch]

If you’ve a question, go ahead and ask it

[old temple]

how do I use an API?

am I stupid, I feel stupid rn

[boreal ravine]

Make a request to it

[snow scaffold]

idek wht an API is ;-;

[kind mulch]

this doesnt work, anyone know why?

[visual yarrow]

Hey 👋 An API is just a way for two programs/systems to talk to each other. What would you like to achieve with this API?

[sick birch]

^

[old temple]

make a discord bot that communicates with a lego mindstorms brick

[visual yarrow]

Oh right hmm 🤔

[sick birch]

Interesting project

If it’s a HTTP API aiohttp will serve you well

[old temple]

I already got the bot user set up

and the basic login code

just not much else

[visual yarrow]

I'd break the problem down into two tasks:

• Figure out how to communicate with the Mindstorms brick from a python program running on a computer.
• Integrate it into a Discord bot.
  For the first task, you may get better help in #microcontrollers

[boreal ravine]

Point proven I guess

[old temple]

thx

although I need help with the first step

[visual yarrow]

Alright, post a question in #microcontrollers. Provide details about what you're trying to achieve, what kind of communication you would like, what the brick will do, etc.

[slate swan]

Hello I’m making a discord bot that gives role on your status what would be best way to go about it

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.event

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.event

@event```
A decorator that registers an event to listen to.

You can find more info about the events on the [documentation below](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events).

The events must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.10)"), if not, [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.10)") is raised.

Example...

[slate swan]

There is an event, which is on_member_update (iirc)

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen better

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

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

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

Example...

[pine knot]

yo, does anyone have any suggestions for what i should put as the playing status for my bot

[slate swan]

the prefix?🙆🏾‍♂️

[pine knot]

btw do you have a suggestion for the prefix? currently its a comma, i'm trying to be unique so it doesn't get mixed up w/ other bots

[vale wing]

Just make slash commands

[pine knot]

i did, im using both

[vale wing]

I would recommend } nobody uses it

[slate swan]

I mean there are so many bots like billions (replace the B with m) so i think you cant have an "unique" prefix🌚

[pine knot]

does anyone use "#"

[vale wing]

Yes

[slate swan]

me with my dict comps💪

[slate swan]

Does tht make sense? To yall

[pine knot]

obviously another bot will have the same prefix, but its not like servers have a billion bots as well

[vale wing]

Just make prefix customisation why not

[slate swan]

Or "slash commands"

[vale wing]

^

[pine knot]

i tried but it would reset when i update the code and change for everyone using the bot

[vale wing]

Man make a database

Obv it will reset

[slate swan]

Json moment

[pine knot]

yeah i will im just lazy ngl

[slate swan]

Use mongodb its really simple it looks like "json" doe

[pine knot]

ill just watch a tutorial for custom prefixes, i haven't made a command like that yet

[slate swan]

Me neither

[pine knot]

how do people grow discord bots to reach 100+ servers?

i feel like im wasting my time if the bot doesn't reach many servers

[slate swan]

Can someone develop a bot for me, there is only really 1 command I need for it, I have little to no experience or knowledge. Please DM me if you have some spare time to develop it with me

[slate swan]

advertising I think, or creating and joining it to 100 servers haha

[pine knot]

what command is that

[slate swan]

its slightly hard to explain and will come out with a lot of waffle so can I DM you

[pine knot]

okay

[slate swan]

adding it on top.gg and other bot lists would be helpful for growth, other than that make sure to add the "Add to server" button on your bot's profile, sometimes people just want to invite your bot but are too lzay to search for its invite url somewhere so yea

[pine knot]

the only thing is i feel that people won't add an unverified bot if another verified bot serves the same purpose :/

maybe small communities won't think too much?

[slate swan]

from what i have seen, people add random bots to like test or try them too, even if its a small bot ( i log some basic information like server name, id, owner and member counts ) for my bot
from the data i get it seems like people causally add new bots

[pine knot]

hmm ok, my goal rn is to get it verified

i started developing it yesterday lol, just used saved code from my other bot and i'm adding slash commands and all to it

[slate swan]

good luck with that, will suggest to keep a track on what servers you bot get added in because adding the bot to fake servers may lead to a "Inorganic growth" report

[slate swan]

cool

[pine knot]

ik, ill just add it to a support server for the bot and try to advertise it

also, should i check the administrator permission or manually add other permissions? (its a moderation bot that can ban, kick, mute, etc)

[slate swan]

best to keep the admin perms optional

[pine knot]

okay

[slate swan]

because its a permissions a bot never really needs

[pine knot]

but it still needs to be able to ban and all, its a mod bot

[slate swan]

there are kick and ban permissions

[pine knot]

ik

[slate swan]

you can ask for them :D

[pine knot]

ill remove manage server and the unnessacary ones then

[slate swan]

yea~

[pine knot]

go to #help-rice

[slate swan]

code?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[slate swan]

you tried converting the response from the first wait_for to a channel..

[slate swan]

Make a feature that stands out I have made 2 bots and they both got verified in a week from being in 120 servers

[pine knot]

fr?

do you have a suggestion for a unique feature

[slate swan]

kinda hard question

bots are kinda limited to unique features

like its rare to see unique features and if you make one it eventually gets popular and its not unique anymore

i kinda stopped making bots because of this reason it gets boring

[heady sluice]

everyone stops making bots after a time

unless you own one of the most popular ones

[slate swan]

2 bots 1st one verified in a week with 130 servers 2nd bot in 3 days 250 servers

[heady sluice]

I don't even get it

what does that do

[slate swan]

I deleted it

[pine knot]

bruh why

[slate swan]

I couldn’t pay for hosting not time for updates ect

[pine knot]

just use uptimerobot, it's free

[slate swan]

Bro I wasn’t hosting on replit

[pine knot]

oh

[slate swan]

I hosted on a 25€ a month hosting package

So it would never go offline

[heady sluice]

do you think replit would handle a bot with 250 servers

[slate swan]

Fr 💀

[heady sluice]

repl is a ridiculous host

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):

    if after.bot == True:
        return

    if before.activities == after.activities:
        return

    userHasActivity = False
    for activity in after.activities:
        if isinstance(activity, discord.CustomActivity):
            if str(activity) == "test" :
                userHasActivity = True
    if userHasActivity:
        await after.add_roles([974367821708550184])
    else:
      await after.remove_roles([974367821708550184])``` it wont give roles on status

[slate swan]

Couldn’t agree more

If your hosting a test bot it’s ok

activity.name gives you the activity name. check test in that

[slate swan]

Example?

I’ve never used user event before

how can i elaborate activity.name?

Fair enough 💀

[heady sluice]

members & presences intents?

[slate swan]

Yup

[dull terrace]

is my bot approved yet

[heady sluice]

no

[slate swan]

What does it even do?

[vocal plover]

The best host is your own server, if you have one

[pine knot]

what platform could handle a bot with 250 servers

[slate swan]

That’s common sense

[heady sluice]

every host you pay for

[slate swan]

Paid hosting

[dull terrace]

why do you need to use a platform?

[pine knot]

okay

[slate swan]

^ a vps would be preferred

a free google cloud/aws tier would be enough too
provided that it needs a credit card and the free trial period is one year

[dull terrace]

amazon web server micro currently handles my bot that's in 850 servers with around 13ms ping for free

[heady sluice]

the what

[slate swan]

yea

[slate swan]

Amazon web server

I’ve heard of it

Didn’t know if was good tbh

anything's better than replit

[dull terrace]

cannot recommend enough, there's a reason why amazon is at the top when it comes to hosting

although i'd prefer more competition

[vocal plover]

because they dont pay their employees enough they can spend more money on your behalf on servers

[dull terrace]

please no truths like that

[slate swan]

From customers pov it’s a W

[pine knot]

is sparked host good? the prices are low as hell

[slate swan]

Specs are really bad also don’t go for “bot hosting” search a vps

[pine knot]

k

[slate swan]

there are better ones, and cheaper too

[pine knot]

cheaper than $2 a month?

[slate swan]

lets move on to #965291480992321536

[pine knot]

k

[slate swan]

yeah the activities list isn't gonna be equal to a string

and add_roles and remove_roles don't take lists

[frozen patio]

ikr

[slate swan]

its not even a host

[heady sluice]

I said it's not a good host as in it's not good to use it for a host

[slate swan]

not a good host
so its a host?

[heady sluice]

Obviously replit = hosting service.

Have you seen YouTube. 👌

what..

It worked on other cmds

[potent spear]

wanna know why?

[exotic maple]

yes

[potent spear]

alright, now let's start with the first things, alright?

first thing you'll notice: on_raw_reaction_add has a different argument than the one you named here

[sick birch]

You don't edit discord.Embed objects, you edit the message they're in

[exotic maple]

waitt

i see what i did wrong, i should have made the await ctx.send in a variable and edited that

im stupid

[sick birch]

No prob, it happens

[zealous jay]

Why do I get this error?
discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 20012): You are not authorized to perform this action on this application

Im trying to implement slash commands on an old bot

That has regular commands

Im just trying to sync my commands

im using discord.py 2.0

#DISCORD & ASYNCIO IMPORTS
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import aiohttp

#OTHER IMPORTS
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

class client(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):

            intents = discord.Intents.default(),
            application_id = 772489968823828490)
        self.synced = False
    
    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        self.session = aiohttp.ClientSession()

        for ext in os.listdir('./cogs'):

             await self.load_extension(f'cogs.{ext[:-3]}')

        await cltree.sync(guild = discord.Object(id=770698123915165747))

        await self.wait_until_ready()
        print(f"Logged in as {self.user}")
        if not self.synced:
            await cltree.sync(guild = discord.Object(id=770698123915165747))

aclient = client()
cltree = aclient.tree

load_dotenv()
aclient.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))            

My code

It works just fine on another bot

[potent spear]

I wouldn't sync the commands in on_Ready

[zealous jay]

Why?

altough that's doesn't seem to be the problem here

[potent spear]

It's generally discouraged to do any API calls in on_ready, the docs discuss why
as to why your syncing isn't doing what you expect it to: I'm only using 1.7.3 features, I can't say

[zealous jay]

oh

thanks!

[slate swan]

Why does it not work?

[olive osprey]

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

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]

but what did i do wrong then? I have the intent enabled == Fixed it

[lime trench]

I’ve seen some commands that can execute psql Cmds, get what they ask for and send it, like getting everything in a table and it would send it to a channel. It’s like it’s running it in the terminal, getting the response then sending it to a channel, how could I create this?

[zealous jay]

So, now it works?

[slate swan]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command(self, ctx):
        results = collection_cmd.find_one({"guild_id": ctx.guild.id})
        if results is None:
            pass
        elif results is not None and results["disabled"] is not None:
            for x in results["disabled"]:
                print(x)
                print(ctx.command)
                if str(x) == str(ctx.command):
                    break

hello im coding a disable command
im checking if a disabled command gets called in the on_command event it works but how can i prevent the command from getting sent, when i break or send a message it sends it after the command

[zealous jay]

Add this at the ending

await client.process_commands(ctx.message)

[slate swan]

so like after the for loop?

[zealous jay]

Yes

[slate swan]

aight

[zealous jay]

Outside it

[slate swan]

yeah

[zealous jay]

And let me know if it works

[potent spear]

command = bot.get_command(<command_name>))
command.enabled = False

[zealous jay]

wait, did I read that wrong

[slate swan]

yup

[zealous jay]

Im sorry

[slate swan]

it spams my command

np

[zealous jay]

yeah my bad sorry

[slate swan]

im trying to make a global disable cmd

[potent spear]

yeah, sure

here you go

[slate swan]

but if i do it this way

its globally disabled

[potent spear]

sure

[slate swan]

and not only in 1 server

completely

[potent spear]

this does ^... right?

[slate swan]

no it disables it from your whole bot

and not in one server

[potent spear]

ah, I just read yours wrong ig

[slate swan]

alr np

i need to just figure out how to prevent the command from sending

[potent spear]

alr, try raising an exception in the on_command event

[slate swan]

why an exception?

[hollow edge]

im trying to iterate over files in a folder to create one choice for each file

[potent spear]

try and see

[hollow edge]

def genchoices():
  returnlist = []
  for i in os.listdir('Niko_expressions'):
    returnlist.append(
      create_choice(
        name = (i.replace('png', '').replace('_', ' ')),
        value = i,
    ))
  return(returnlist)

this is what I have now, but it generates this error:

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In 0.options.1.choices.0.name: Could not interpret "[{'value': 'niko_neutral.png', 'name': 'niko neutral.'}, {'value': 'niko_eyebrow.png', 'name': 'niko eyebrow.'}, {'value': 'niko_mouthclosed.png', 'name': 'niko mouthclosed.'}, {'value': 'niko_crying.png', 'name': 'niko crying.'}]" as string.

[slate swan]

where should i add an exception i dont really understand why i should add an exception
this is my code again:

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command(self, ctx):
        results = collection_cmd.find_one({"guild_id": ctx.guild.id})
        if results is None:
            pass
        elif results is not None and results["disabled"] is not None:
            for x in results["disabled"]:
                print(x)
                print(ctx.command)
                if str(x) == str(ctx.command):
                    break

[potent spear]

I'm not sure, but if on_command raises an error, your command won't run, so that way, you might be able to disable certain commands

[slate swan]

why should it raise an error

[hollow edge]

btw mind helping with the above? sorry if you're spread thin

[potent spear]

I'm not sure, but your name might need a string, but you're giving it a list? 🤔

[hollow edge]

yeah, might be because the function was in brackets

[potent spear]

this might disable the next command running

[hollow edge]

getting rate limited from testing, ill give results once im back on

[slate swan]

no it shouldnt

that isnt my problem tho

[potent spear]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/63502198 this is one option, but I'm not sure if you're even able to prevent a command from running via the on_command event

I found a perfect solution my guy

you'll love it for sure

[slate swan]

yeah? tell me

[potent spear]

You'll want a global check

this gets checked before every command is invoked and can make it prevent it from running in servers or even specific users!

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#global-checks

[slate swan]

ohh thanks

[potent spear]

you could even handle the CheckFailure that will raise in a global error handler which notifies the author that the command has been disabled 😉

[slate swan]

yeah

how would i pass the command?

@client.check
async def dis_cmd(ctx):
    results = collection_cmd.find_one({"guild_id": ctx.guild.id})
    if results is None:
            pass
    elif results is not None and results["disabled"] is not None:
        for x in results["disabled"]:
            print(x)
            print(ctx.command)
            if str(x) == str(ctx.command):
                break

so i currently have this but my commands wont respond my other
how can i pass the commands that arent disabled

[potent spear]

you're thinking about this the wrong way

have you seen the link?

it's like 2 lines, the whole check

you could do so too

[weak acorn]

Hi, I'd like to ask if this code is wrongly used in anyway possible to get a @user_mention?

What am I trying to do?

Mention users without coming up as invalid on mobile

[slate swan]

yeah i did

[potent spear]

it can be as easy as

is_disabled = collection......
return is_disabled```

that's literally all you need

[slate swan]

yeah i first need to get all the words from the list

becauuse i have a list

[potent spear]

then I'd fix your DB structure tbh

[slate swan]

what do you mean?

[potent spear]

when getting a guild ID, you're getting a list?
a simple SQL query I have in mind is just

SELECT IS_DISABLED FROM GUILDCONFIG WHERE GUILD_ID = ? AND COMMAND_NAME = ?), (guild.id, ctx.command.name,))```

which would simply return the exact value you need

[slate swan]

no im not getting a list

i didnt know what you defined

and im working with pymongo

[potent spear]

any reason why?

[slate swan]

because i find its better and easier

[potent spear]

so you've never used with relational databases, right?

[slate swan]

i know sql

[potent spear]

anyways, you should just get the is_disabled of a specific command in a guild returned in a good query

[weak acorn]

hi, i would like assistance fixing this on mobile, is this just a bot error?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/974034359642378311/974398898464493608/Screenshot_20220513-035244_Discord-Beta.jpg

on desktop the bot shows mentions but on mobile the bot shows @invalid user

[zealous jay]

huh

[slate swan]

your mobile client probably didnt cache the user

it happens on mobile sometimes when someone mentions many users the client hasnt cached yet

[weak acorn]

It still doesn't work after restarts, do I have to clear cache?

[slate swan]

no not at all

[zealous jay]

Can someone help me on #help-avocado? Please

[slate swan]

your client does it by itself

[zealous jay]

It's discord.py related

[weak acorn]

But it works for other bots tho

[slate swan]

its not related to your bot?

its related to your mobile client

[weak acorn]

But... other bots although I'm on mobile, it shows userid

I mean user mention

[slate swan]

im so confused on your problem. it shows invalid user right but in your desktop client you can see the mention formatted correctly if so then yes your mobile client hasnt cached the user yet

[weak acorn]

My bot is only showing...

Other bots -- user mention works without any problems, while my bot is showing invalid user. But on desktop, it shows the user.

[zealous jay]

does this only happens for you?

[weak acorn]

It happens to everyone else.

[slate swan]

then i am correct.

[zealous jay]

huh

[weak acorn]

Anyone on mobile, get @invalid user

[zealous jay]

mention that user yourself

[weak acorn]

Wym?

[slate swan]

why ignore me?

[weak acorn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/974391845213855814/974398221411549254/IMG_20220512_205037.jpg

[zealous jay]

its probably what okimii says

[weak acorn]

No no, mobile error?

[slate swan]

its a common problem in mobile ive seen it myself

[weak acorn]

That's what I'm confused.

[slate swan]

its not mobile its the mobile discord client aka your discord app

[weak acorn]

Cause every single bot works but my own bot so I'm trying to find the error.

[slate swan]

its not your bot!

[weak acorn]

How?

[slate swan]

^

[weak acorn]

Wym by didnt cache the user?

[sick birch]

Most modern apps use some sort of cache. Discord probably didn't cache that user which is why it shows up that way

[slate swan]

since your client hasnt seen it or encountered the user it doesnt cache anything

[slate swan]

now their gonna say im right because a helper approved it🙄

[sick birch]

Usually though it just shows up as <@432643355634171905>

[weak acorn]

But... I see the user 24/7

[slate swan]

shows as invalid user in this case

[sick birch]

Don't know what's up with that, discord is funky

[slate swan]

mobile client lol

[sick birch]

mobile ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[weak acorn]

What logic

So no way to "fix" ?

[slate swan]

no

watch andy prove me and robin wrong

[weak acorn]

That's what I don't get

[sick birch]

Not sure, app's weird like I mentioned

[slate swan]

its discord what do you expect

[weak acorn]

I don't get how it's related to app lol

[slate swan]

👁️👁️

[sick birch]

How else would it vary from desktop to mobile?

[slate swan]

desktop client != mobile client

[sick birch]

It's not like you can get show something differently if the person viewing your bot is on mobile or not

[weak acorn]

Yeah you right

[pliant gulch]

Mobile phones tend to handle apps in the background differently

But it’s not always 100% loaded

[sick birch]

Lazy loading? sort of at least?

[pliant gulch]

You should just restart your discord app and it’ll render

[sick birch]

I'm guessing that's probably the first thing they tried

[pliant gulch]

This is a negligible issue though, you can pretty much ignore it

[sick birch]

Well you don't have much choice but to ignore it

[weak acorn]

I did that.. didn't worked.

It's not only me that can't see it.

Other server members on mobile can't see it.

[sick birch]

Well, that's probably on discord's end then

[pliant gulch]

Why wouldn’t they? It’s just an issue on your side

Eventually it’ll fix the cache issue, restarting usually works but sometimes you’ll just have to wait

[sick birch]

Perhaps just a coincidence that a bunch of you all are getting the same caching issue

That or discord is goofed and it'll fix itself given due time

[weak acorn]

The whole server on mobile can't see user mentioned but can see discord

I'll try restarting

[sick birch]

Sure, just give it a bit

Mobile apps are just... ugh

[weak acorn]

Restarted and its still invalid

[sick birch]

Well, probably a discord issue then. just give it a bit

[weak acorn]

You sure it can't be a code error?

[sick birch]

Yes, because then it'd show the same on both desktop and mobile

[weak acorn]

If you wanna mention users in your own way, how would you script it?

Does your bot mentions work? Do you do <@{user.id}> to mention?

[slate swan]

yes mentions are <@id>

[weak acorn]

Is it because I put {} brackets it becomes invalid?

[lyric apex]

Hey

[slate swan]

no, as said its your mobile client nothing else.

[weak acorn]

I cri

[lyric apex]

How can i make universal error command saying you dont have this perm to use this Etc Not Separate for all one for all

[weak acorn]

@slate swan ty for explaining

[slate swan]

!d discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.discord.ext.commands.on\_command\_error

discord.ext.commands.on_command_error(ctx, error)```
An error handler that is called when an error is raised
inside a command either through user input error, check
failure, or an error in your own code.

A default one is provided ([`Bot.on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error "discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error")).

[slate swan]

youre welcome

[lyric apex]

I want that it says the perm that is missing @slate swan

[slate swan]

just check the class of the error argument

with isintance

[boreal ravine]

You should read these:

[hollow edge]

does anyone know any free bot hosts?
I was using replit but I can't use always on since I don't have hacker plan

[sick birch]

replit is not a host

but many reputable cloud service providers have some sort of free tier

[boreal ravine]

Railway, heroku, CDH and maybe some more all have free plans but I don't recommend you use these since there's a chance your bot will get rate limited easily, also this question is more suited for #965291480992321536

[boreal ravine]

They require a DC/CC no?

[sick birch]

Yes, but it's still free in the sense that they don't charge you anything

And most reputable providers will ask you for a CC even if they won't charge you

[hollow edge]

thanks, also didn't know about that thread

being ratelimited hasn't been too big a problem since I can switch ips whenever it's close / ratelimited

can you do the same with those?

[boreal ravine]

A large amount of bot makers (teenagers) don't have CCs or DCs lol

[sick birch]

Unfortunately

But your options are very limited then and you'll have to put up with sub par service

[hollow edge]

luckily this is an incredibly small bot

[dusk girder]

so i have a few emotes

called :bar_<size>_<amt>: for progress bars

but i cant get it to actually send them

first attempt it just sent this :bar_left_100::bar_mid_100::bar_right_25:

[boreal ravine]

Not sure

[dusk girder]

wait hang on

nvm i got it

but it'd be cool if i could just use :name:

instead of <:name:id>

[keen mural]

for discord.ui buttons how do i make it so that if a button is pressed the message is edited with the thing i want

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_message You can use this method ```py
await interaction.edit_original_message(content='Someone clicked my button')

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_message

await edit_original_message(*, content=..., embeds=..., embed=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

[keen mural]

thx

[boreal ravine]

@keen mural My bad, you're supposed to use Interaction.edit_message

[keen mural]

ok 😄 was getting errors

[keen mural]

'Interaction' object has no attribute 'edit_message'

[boreal ravine]

Which library are you using?

[keen mural]

some github one

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

[boreal ravine]

Show the error

[keen mural]

[maiden fable]

edit_original_message edits the message u sent with inter.send

[boreal ravine]

Mhm

[boreal ravine]

interaction.response.edit_message(...)

[keen mural]

this worked thx
although it sent 2 messages

[boreal ravine]

You have two instances of your bot running, cancel the other process/instance or reset your bots token and use the new one to fix it

[keen mural]

wdym

ok

[west mango]

Does anyone know where I can see a good example of a cog listener with multiple on_message events? I know how to get the cogs working, load them, etc. Im just having trouble determining best practice on how to organize them and conditionally execute in the main file. Like I get that I can put conditions into the cog's event, but Im just having trouble conceptualizing the best way to put it all together so that I can adapt a bot I've already built to a cog-based setup.

[keen mural]

thx for the help, also how would i make buttons on different levels this way?

[boreal ravine]

Do you mean rows?

[keen mural]

like
(message content)
Button 1 Button2
Button 3 Button 4

yeah my bad

[boreal ravine]

Oh, specify the row kwarg in the button decorator ```py
@button(..., row=0) # 0 = the default row/first row, 1 = the second row and so on

[keen mural]

thx again

[slate swan]

hi sift 👋

[boreal ravine]

👌

[boreal ravine]

Hello sparky

[keen mural]

and i would disable the button the same way?

[slate swan]

you gotta use the commands.Cog.listener() decorator to use events inside a cog it can either be like py @commands.Cog.listener() async def on_message(self, msg): ... or for multiple same events ```py
@commands.Cog.listener("on_message")
async def listener1(self, msg):
...

@commands.Cog.listener("on_message")
async def listener2(self, msg):
...

[slate swan]

sup

[keen mural]

disabled=True

[slate swan]

hi sarth

[boreal ravine]

Yes.. or button.disabled = True if you wanna disable it on press

[slate swan]

method name change better than that string

[boreal ravine]

Sup

[keen mural]

[slate swan]

:D

[slate swan]

doing online class :<

[slate swan]

string helps you to have multiple same events in a single class/file
