discord-bots

[maiden fable]

Not everytime

[waxen python]

i can share resources through passing in functions, the only issue is self is not something im aware i can pass

[pliant gulch]

You can

[waxen python]

(im not)

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_cog

get_cog(name, /)```
Gets the cog instance requested.

If the cog is not found, `None` is returned instead.

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

[pliant gulch]

Pass this as self to the method

[vale wing]

And what I am trying to tell you

# utils.py
async def your_func(bot, *args):
    ...

# your_cog.py
await your_func(self.bot, ...)

# api.py
class APICog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(...):
        # you can construct your API anyhow
        await your_func(self.client, ...)```

[waxen python]

i would need to pass this on the webserver, which cant use discord.py

[pliant gulch]

[vale wing]

Wrap your whole API into a cog and you will have no issues with those between-app communications

[waxen python]

how does utils.py get bot?

[slate swan]

how to make like command

[pliant gulch]

Just make your web server take in the bot afterwards and it’s pretty much all done

[vale wing]

It's parsed as an argument

[waxen python]

from?

[vale wing]

Cog object

[waxen python]

i dont have cogs in the webserver file or access to discord.py

[slate swan]

async def carry(ctx, member)
await ctx.send(f"ctx.author carrying {member}")

how to do that cmd?

[vale wing]

You didn't hear me well, you need to put your webserver into another cog

And you will have access to everything

[waxen python]

im not sure how that would work, how can you have decorators in decorators?

[vale wing]

Decorator basically takes a function and returns something instead of it

Or adds that function to somewhere

[waxen python]

would i start the webserver on on ready then?

[slate swan]

hello people!
does anyone know how to make a discord bot respond to webhooks / other bots.

[vale wing]

Better to do it in the overwritten setup_hook method of your bot subclass

[waxen python]

on the on_message event, check if message.author.id == webhook user id?

[vale wing]

I am pretty sure all those are caught by on_message

[slate swan]

hm yes could work.

[waxen python]

yup they are, just been doing that

im not sure if putting my whole webserver in a cog is a good idea

[slate swan]

TypeError: event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'

[waxen python]

what did you do?

[slate swan]

@bot.event()
async def on_message(ctx, user: discord.User, *, message=None):
    message = message or "This Message is sent via DM"
    await user.send(message)```

[waxen python]

what.

are you trying to DM a webhook?

[slate swan]

im just trying to make my webhook do this
@sterile spindle message

and then the bot send the message

[waxen python]

@bot.event()
async def on_message(message):
    await message.author.send("This Message is sent via DM")
```?

[slate swan]

ty

wait

nope, im trying to make it send a message to the user tagged

[waxen python]

tagged in the on_message?

[slate swan]

yes

[waxen python]

right okay

@bot.event()
async def on_message(message):
    if message.mentions:
    user = message.mentions[0]
        await user.send("This Message is sent via DM")

can you try that?

[slate swan]

sure.

[waxen python]

wait

fixed typo

[slate swan]

also missed an indent

[waxen python]

yup

[slate swan]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "record.py", line 6, in <module>
@bot.event()
TypeError: event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'

[waxen python]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.mentions:
        user = message.mentions[0]
        await user.send("This Message is sent via DM")

[slate swan]

still got

[waxen python]

is this in the main file of your bot? or a cog?

[slate swan]

nvm

that works

now i need the message to be arrangeable

so it sends what the webhook says

[waxen python]

well the message content you can get with message.content, so replace the string in user.send() with it

[slate swan]

kk

wtf

it did it like 10 times

[waxen python]

because the bot is seeing its own message

[slate swan]

how do i whitelist to user id

so only the webhook works with it

[waxen python]

to fix that add if not message.author.bot: or for user id follow the message above

use the user id one for that, then

[slate swan]

where bouts would i put that xd

sorry im not used to discord bots

how to make to my bot send when u ask .Help to bot send u in dm private message

can it go of by name

message.author == Recording.Mp3

[slate swan]

....

[waxen python]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.id == 000000000000:
        if message.mentions:
            user = message.mentions[0]
            await user.send(message.content)

replace 00000000 with the webhook id

[slate swan]

thought so

[slate swan]

webhooks dont have ids LMFAO so i did it by message.author == "webhook name"

[waxen python]

they do

[slate swan]

It's just doing some weird loading thing for me

[waxen python]

what do you mean?

[slate swan]

I'll show u in a min

[slate swan]

how pls help

why wont this send?

                 join_msg = await bot.get_channel(975083898365157376).send(content="<@&925444830480453644>", embed=req_embed)
                  await join_msg.send()```

[waxen python]

mobile issue maybe

[austere herald]

Make sure to run it inside a thread

[slate swan]

Idk

I'll fix when on pc legit just downstairs rn

[waxen python]

what does this mean?

[austere herald]

Message doesn't have a send function

[waxen python]

what are you trying to get this to do? send a message with the content <@&925444830480453644>?

[slate swan]

yeah

[waxen python]

join_msg = await bot.get_channel(975083898365157376)
await join_msg.send("<@&925444830480453644>", embed=req_embed)

would be the way of doing it
not sure if your get_channel will work tho case you arent passing any info or guild id

[slate swan]

like when is ur message .Help he send u a private message about help

[reef dock]

since someone might know the answer is anything required for slash commands in terms of the guilded side of things because all my bots slash commands do work in dm's but never seem to show in my guild even when syncing them specifically i have no clue what happened over the course of 2 years for them to break and only show in dm's 🤔

[waxen python]

have a command named "Help" and listen for a message with on_message
then, have

user = message.author
await user.send("whatever you want")

[slate swan]

like

@waxen python worked ty sm

[waxen python]

nice, np

[slate swan]

@bot.command()

[waxen python]

@bot.command(name="help") yeah

[slate swan]

yeah and i add under that

[waxen python]

well the name bit isnt needed per-say but i like to have it for clarity

[slate swan]

on_message
user = message.author
await user.send("TEST")?

[waxen python]

thats the idea

[slate swan]

@waxen python how would i make it instead of mentioning the user it does the user id

ik the part for the webhook

can u give me full code?

[waxen python]

well its just repeating the message of the webhook... so it has the mention in it

[slate swan]

this under @bot.command() ?

[slate swan]

hmm could i make it not send the user mention at all

[waxen python]

as it seems you havent done discord.py before, i recommend you read the docs on how to get started https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

[waxen python]

that would make it a little harder to detect who the webhook wants to dm

a ping in DM doesnt really do anything though, really, right?

[slate swan]

true just looks ugly

yeah but i just only don't know to use on_message

and i want to put it in a embed

[waxen python]

would a user id 611976655619227648 look nicer 🤔

[slate swan]

nah

no user mention at all

just text

[slate swan]

mrrazamataz

just say how

@bot.command(name="help")
Then what here?

[waxen python]

you could take the string and remove the [#00000000000](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/00000000000/) from it

[slate swan]

yeah but i would have to manually do that or could the bot do it

[waxen python]

the bot could do that

[slate swan]

could make it split it

[waxen python]

like split this out
f"<#{user.id}>"

[slate swan]

it indeed works

mentioned, text = message.content.split(">")

how would i do user.send(embed)

[waxen python]

@bot.command(name="help")
async def help(ctx):
    user = ctx.author
    await user.send("help blah blah")

i think should work

[waxen python]

same as a normal message
await user.send("text", embed=embed)

[slate swan]

ahh

i build embeds in json for webhooks so idfk how to use that

[waxen python]

https://cog-creators.github.io/discord-embed-sandbox/

might help :P

[slate swan]

ty

[round mirage]

pls beg

[austere vale]

  @commands.command(aliases=["disconnect", "leave"])
  async def stop(self, ctx):
    await ctx.author.voice.channel.disconnect()

whats the command to make the bot disconnect?

[knotty agate]

You would do ctx.voice_client.disconnect()

[austere vale]

first i tried it with voice_bot and second error is with voice_client

[spring swallow]

does anyone know how to add a reaction to a message (using discord token)
I'm trying this but it's not working:

`import requests
import emoji

def add_reaction(emoji):
headers = {
'authentication': discordToken
}
r = requests.put(f'https://discord.com/api/v8/channels/channelID/messages/messageID/reactions/{emoji}/%40me', headers=headers)

add_reaction(emoji.emojize('🎉'))`

[hollow edge]

whenever my bot sends a message in response to slash commands it sends it as a reply

is there a way I can send it as a normal message?

[slate swan]

is your bot in a vc? note that when you stop the bot while its in a vc and restart it, the discord.py cache thinks that its disconnected

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.channel

The channel the interaction was sent from.

Note that due to a Discord limitation, DM channels are not resolved since there is
no data to complete them. These are PartialMessageable instead.

[slate swan]

!d discord.PartialMessageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PartialMessageable.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

[hollow edge]

thanks :)

[hollow edge]

oh and btw

will this bypass the 3 second timeout

or do I have to run it outside the slash command block

[slate swan]

you can defer the reponse

await interaction.response.defer()

[hollow edge]

alright thanks

[hollow edge]

can't import interaction from discord

tried using discord.interaction too, both didn't work

am I doing something wrong?

[slate swan]

what library are you using?

[hollow edge]

discord.py and discord_slash

[slate swan]

no idea, that's extremely outdated and doesnt have docs either

[hollow edge]

which is

[slate swan]

discord_slash

[hollow edge]

oh yeah I get that, but it shouldn't be an issue for this

at least to my knowledge

[slate swan]

you need to defer the interaction, that would be the solution

but idk how to do that in discord_slash, thats the point

[hollow edge]

yes im using discord.py for this

since the stuff above is discord.py I assume

[austere vale]

oh okay got it tysm!! it works

[hasty chasm]

import discord
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
from discord.ext import commands
import asyncio
import time
import datetime
import emoji
import os
import random
client = discord.Client()

    print("Im online")

    client.wait_until_ready

            print(extension)
        except Exception as error:
            print(error)
bot.run(os.environ[(TOKEN)])

the 'TOKEN' is actually the token in my code
its saying the token isnt defined on vs code is there another way to get the token to connect to the bot

[potent spear]

you can't use the commands.Bot AND discord.Client, it's one or the other

commands.Bot is just the subclassed discord.Client with commands and tasks built on top

also, don't do shit in on_ready
also, you can set the presence of the bot straight in the constructor

[hasty chasm]

it had worked on github/heroku so i assumed it would work on vs code

[potent spear]

you have to load the env to be able to get a variable from a .env file
google has examples

[hasty chasm]

what would i look up to find it

d.py .env file example?

[potent spear]

nope

reading out variables from a .env file has nothing to do with dpy

[hasty chasm]

from what i see do i call it
dotenv.env
with the like token =

ive called it in using

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

i got it now

thx for the help

[dull terrace]

How's this for a terms of service and privacy policy? https://pastebin.com/Jsw6MNFW

[potent spear]

I'm not a lawyer, can't say

[sick birch]

Looks like you took my suggestion seriously haha

[dull terrace]

it has been something i've thought about a bit before. i imagine legally it doesn't offer much protection but better than nothing

[sharp imp]

I'm trying to make a command that just simply says the guild name but i cant get my head around it

[heavy shard]

Aloo: almost right, you want ctx.guild.name

also, closing apostrophe and right curly brace seems to be swapped

[sharp imp]

oh wait i havent defined the ctx yet

this is my first time using it 💀

[potent spear]

first, make sure you have a correct command
since you're actually not making a command, you're just using on_message in a way that "looks like" a command

you should check out the docs on how ot correctly make a command

[sharp imp]

mb, i recently started learning

is there a link to the docs

[potent spear]

excuse me?

you're using a library and you've never seen the docs of it? 💀

[sharp imp]

no, im sorry i probably sound like an idiot

i literally just started python

[potent spear]

then how have you even been learning?

[sharp imp]

yt vids...

[potent spear]

please don't tell me through YT

[sharp imp]

...

😭

[potent spear]

don't learn frequently changing libraries through YT vids, they quickly get outdated and irrelevant

you can learn python fine with YT, just not any libraries that change often

[sharp imp]

i see

[potent spear]

so, start with reading documentation I'd say, basic examples etc etc
mostly, YT tutorials are TOO focused on one subject or even have a bad implementation

[sharp imp]

thank you

[stone beacon]

W-

[flint isle]

    @commands.command(name='logoff')
    async def logoff(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send('`Bot Is Logging Off`')
        await self.bot.close()
        print('Bot Logged off')

RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

Process finished with exit code 0

[dull terrace]

M-

[stone beacon]

use stop()

Might work better for ya

[flint isle]

just stop()?

[stone beacon]

nvm 💀

stop is just my implementation totally forgot that's not a function in the library

[flint isle]

lol

[slate swan]

it is

just not a method of the Bot class

!d discord.ui.View.stop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.stop

stop()```
Stops listening to interaction events from this view.

This operation cannot be undone.

[stone beacon]

well yea that stop

I mean't a Bot class stop

[modest plover]

Hi! Tryna make a sticky message type thing, buyt it deletes the message that's it's not meant to

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message: disnake.Message):
        channelID = 976266566972887090
        appEmbed = disnake.Embed(
            title = "Apply!",
            description = "Press the button to apply for that game.",
            colour = disnake.Colour.random())
        if message.channel.id == channelID and message.author.id != self.bot.user.id:
            await message.channel.send(embed = appEmbed)
        async for x in message.channel.history(limit = 10):
            if x.embeds[0].title == "Apply!":
                await message.delete()

Written in Disnake

[sick birch]

"Sticky message type thing"?

No

[modest plover]

Yes, so basically when a message is sent, it resends the message (appEmbed) and deletes the previous message (appEmbed)

[stoic scarab]

Sup guys

[modest plover]

It's for a uhh application thing, you press a button, it makes a thread, but it moves the embed up, so a solution to that is to delete the previous message and send it again, no?

[stoic scarab]

Never made a discord bot before and just learnt python anyone wanna help me lol

[modest plover]

Depends, what do you need help with and what are you using for a library?

Like is it discord.py, nextcord, disnake, hikari, etc

[stoic scarab]

Uhh idk too much I was planning on importing discord

😅

[modest plover]

Uhh right well my personal recommendation is to use the library Disnake, but each to their own.
Main reason for that is that it's updated frequently and has a pretty decent guide

[modest plover]

That sounds to be Discord.py

[stoic scarab]

Is it easier than discord.py?

[stoic scarab]

Yep it is

Haven’t rlly commuted lol I didn’t even know there was more than 1

[modest plover]

They're about the same difficulty wise, but Disnake has some features over discord.py I think(?)

[stoic scarab]

Oki

Let’s do that then lol

[modest plover]

Ok

To get it, it's just pip install disnake

[stoic scarab]

First time using a modual outside default ones lol

Oki wait lemme pull replit up

[modest plover]

oh boy

[stoic scarab]

Huh?

[modest plover]

Also another thing, don't use replit as a permanent host, it can cause your bot to get rate limited very easily

[stoic scarab]

What happened lol

[modest plover]

So like it's fine for developing it

[stoic scarab]

What’s rate limited

[sick birch]

I wouldn't

[stoic scarab]

Huh

[sick birch]

Build up good habits from the start

[stoic scarab]

😅

[modest plover]

But not for hosting it

[stoic scarab]

I only have replit lol

[sick birch]

Save yourself some trouble, and download an IDE like Pycharm or an editor like VSCode

[stoic scarab]

U have to host a bot :0

????????????

[modest plover]

A rate limit is basically how many requests you can send to discord per second or minute I think(?)

[sick birch]

You do, it needs a machine to be online 24/7 to be able to run

[modest plover]

Yes.

[stoic scarab]

Wow

[modest plover]

You're able to get stuff like uhh Railway or Heroku that can host it tho

Cloud services

[stoic scarab]

Ig I’ll be using replit for development lol

[sick birch]

Also if you don't have an intermediate understanding of Python, I'd recommend you go do that first before attempting discord bots

[modest plover]

Like robin said tho, break bad habits and try and use something other than replit

[stoic scarab]

I got a intermediate python certificate from Sololearn

[sick birch]

You're only going to hinder yourself with basic python knowledge

[modest plover]

What platform are you on?

Like you on windows, Chromebook, android, etc

[stoic scarab]

I mainly learnt on ios

[modest plover]

oh boy

[stoic scarab]

😅

[sick birch]

Never heard of them, can't tell you if it's any good. If you feel ready, that's more important that a certificate

[modest plover]

you got a laptop or anything?

[stoic scarab]

Yea I know more than basics I would say

[modest plover]

an ios is arguably the worst thing to code on

[sick birch]

Make sure you understand concepts such as asynchronous programming, coroutines, the event loop, etc

[stoic scarab]

Hmm let’s say yes but it sucks hard

[modest plover]

this is coming from the same person using a phone to code

[oblique laurel]

Ive been trying to tell em that lol

[stoic scarab]

Lol

[stoic scarab]

Shit up anonymous

[modest plover]

I'm using an android which is a bit better

[oblique laurel]

XD

[stoic scarab]

Lol

[modest plover]

How hard?

[stoic scarab]

Anonymous explain

[sick birch]

Bottom line is a laptop or desktop is preferable

[stoic scarab]

I don’t wanna use it let’s just say

[sick birch]

Mobile is fine but it's going to be a terrible developer experience

[modest plover]

this tbh

[stoic scarab]

I’m making a basic bot to learn lol

[oblique laurel]

You can make a discord bot on mobile, but its 1000x easier on desktop lol

[sick birch]

It's going to be an absolute pain

But if you insist

[modest plover]

I agree, it's a pain in the arse

[stoic scarab]

I wanna learn first tho

Guysssss this is for learning

Not to make a actual working bot

[zenith basin]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72282144/how-to-make-a-button-using-discord-py

help pls

[stoic scarab]

When I wanna do that I’ll do it on pc

[sick birch]

We know, but it's difficult to learn when you're being held back by your platform

Which is not something that should hinder one's learning experience

[stoic scarab]

I use replit just fine lol

[sick birch]

If you say so

[stoic scarab]

Uhh oki

[oblique laurel]

Does replit even support disnake?

[stoic scarab]

Oof

Good question

Hmm where did everyone go lol

Uhh guys

Guyssssdd

@oblique laurel not working out : (

[oblique laurel]

Just wait a bit ig for other ppl to be online

[stoic scarab]

Uhh ok

[oblique laurel]

You dont need to learn everything by tmrw ;)

[stoic scarab]

I do need to know how to set it up tho :0

[oblique laurel]

Try running the example code from github and see what it does with your bot

Also rule no. one, never share your token

[stoic scarab]

Ok

Orrrrre I can try joining other servers :p

Imma do that

[oblique laurel]

Yeah dpy has a server

[stoic scarab]

Also if anyone wants to help a professional idiot dm me :p

[gaunt mortar]

Good evening, I got an issue :
I'm currently displaying a message which contains a ui.Select menu, when I select an option I want to edit the current message with another one - I'm using a subclass of Select and the callback method but I'm facing a "discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10015): Unknown Webhook" when selecting an option..

Here is the code of my callback method :

    async def callback(self,interaction : Interaction):
        embed = discord.Embed(color=0x152dff)
        embed.add_field(name="Pari selectionné", value="Placeholder text", inline=False)
        view = View()
        view.add_item(Choice1())
        view.add_item(Choice2())

        await interaction.edit_original_message(embed=embed, view=view)

[modest plover]

Yes

It supports pip packages iirc

[modest plover]

https://guide.disnake.dev

Try looking there..?

[gaunt mortar]

Import the variable or make a function that returns the value of it and call the get function from where you need it

[zenith basin]

how can I make a button in discord.py

[gaunt mortar]

Check discord.ui.Button

!d discord.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[gaunt mortar]

If I'm not mistaken, yes

[sick birch]

Pretty sure you have to defer it first?

[gaunt mortar]

Then ; in your main.py =>

client.myVariable = "placeholder"

in your cog =>

    def __init__(self,client):
        self.client = client
        print(client.myVariable)

[gaunt mortar]

Yep, I did not know it - thanks 🙂

[slate swan]

use bot it looks better than client

[austere vale]

what does this mean?

[fast musk]

that address/port is already bound

another running instance maybe

[austere vale]

thats weird my bot isnt on

[heavy shard]

means others variable was used, but it wasn't initialized (set) before, likely because condition if teamsinuser[i].name in teams: was never met

[slate swan]

you should know about variable scopes before you really start any project, thats a must

[heavy shard]

why do you need it? while True: is an infinte loop which prevents bot from doing any logic related to reactions on events

[sick birch]

It depends on what you're doing inside it

If it's async you may be able to get away with it

[heavy shard]

before the loop, set others to anything, like None

[slate swan]

you cant....., an infinite loop is blocking, you might want to use asyncio and run it in an event loop maybe correct me if im wrong

[heavy shard]

the for i in range ... loop

[sick birch]

Again, depends on what you're doing inside the while True loop

discord.py internally has a few while True loops (e.g for polling websocket events, heartbeating, etc) that don't block

[heavy shard]

while True: loop means you're checking something or counting maybe, it can be rewritten using different logic probably

[slate swan]

you could count without a loop too

and without range

and again, check stuff without a loop

[slate swan]

nah youre right

making a task wont block the bots heartbeats

pykawaii lmao

[slate swan]

😳

[heavy shard]

also, second for i in range(0, len(roles)): should be for i in range(0, len(teamsinuser)): following your logic

i think you could get away with an infinte loop with asyncio.sleep(0.1) for example

[slate swan]

just what I wanted

[slate swan]

what

[heavy shard]

yes, but you want to loop through teamsinuser roles, which you take len(roles) as a size of it... len(roles) may (and will be) different than len(teamsinuser)

[slate swan]

the wrapper, I wantef those stuff for my bot, but I was just too lazy to do api stuff lmao

[slate swan]

ah lol im still having a bit of problems with relative imports so i suggest you dont download it still until its functional

[slate swan]

yeah probably i have an exam in 3 hours anyways, so probably gonna get some rest

[slate swan]

ah alright good night🫂

😔

thanks

i have an exam tomorrow as well but i need to fix pykawaii first

[stone beacon]

[slate swan]

thankee

[abstract kindle]

hey guys, just curious about how some of you would implement an inventory system in a database

Like if I'm storing my discord users ID's in a database and I wanted them to have inventories for items, how would you guys go about doing that?

[slate swan]

More of, use an ORM

wait, werent you doing the same thing a few days ago...

[meager chasm]

TABLE Items 
  id PRIMARY KEY,
  name TEXT

TABLE Inventories
  id PRIMARY KEY,
  user_id FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES Users.id,

TABLE InventoryItems
  id PRIMARY KEY,
  item_id FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES Items.id,
  quantity INTEGER DEFAULT 1,
  inventory_id FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES Inventories.id
``` something like this?

[slate swan]

bad

[meager chasm]

why?

it's just a normal many to many relation

[slate swan]

wait, no

[meager chasm]

what?

[slate swan]

I'm crazy

we dont talk about that

[meager chasm]

👍

[slate swan]

I can’t view messages from my laptop-

Can I send code as an image?

[slate swan]

@slate swan bro your banner 🤣

Got an error NameError: name ‘fetch’ is not defined code: py @guild.command() async def emojis(ctx): emojis = await fetch.emojis() try: emojiEmbed = discord.Embed(title=f”Emojis for {ctx.guild.name}”, description=emojis) await ctx.send(embed=emojiEmbed)

!d discord.Guild.fetch_emojis

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_emojis

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

Retrieves all custom [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji")s from the guild...

[slate swan]

Got it from this tho

it's underscore not a period

and its a method of the guild class lol

undefined name ‘fetch_emojis’

so it would be await ctx.guild.fetch_emojis()since Context has a guild attr which returns a Guild object

was gonna say this ^

Mhm. Let me use it

if you want to get all emojis the bot is in just add the bot/client object instead of ctx

@slate swan are you good with async requests?

ig

Nothing

?

I meant to send this before

But it is sent now

@slate swan

async def web_scrape(text):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(text) as r:
            status = r.status
            if status == 200:
                text = await r.text()
                return text

    embed.set_author(name = "Would you rather..", url="https://either.io/", icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
    embed.add_field(name = "EITHER..", value=f"🇦 {l[0]}", inline=False)

    msg = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    await msg.add_reaction("🇦")
    await msg.add_reaction("🇧")

takes like 2-3 seconds to actually send the embed, any way to speed it up?

I’m getting this

@guild.command()
async def members(ctx):
  mem = ctx.guild.fetch_members(limit=100000)
  await ctx.send(mem)

code ^

[slate swan]

its probably because of the for loop and your function can be done better

[slate swan]

try this

@guild.command()
async def getmember(ctx,member:str):
    print([i.name+'#'+i.discriminator for i in ctx.message.guild.members if member in i.name+'#'+i.discriminator])

[maiden fable]

U can't have it in a cog?

is what i do

[supple thorn]

A subclassed of HelpCommand?

[supple thorn]

Why is there only 3 quotes

[slate swan]

you saw nothing

[slate swan]

would I need to change my code in the actual command?

[supple thorn]

Kek

[slate swan]

i mean if you want better speed yes and you should send the embed before the for loop

[slate swan]

Oh

how much faster would it actually be

which the for loop or the function?

the entire command as a whole

your site waifu.pics is sick asf btw

😳

[slate swan]

well it would yes

Oh and
Whenever I use a subcommand the parent command is also invoked

[slate swan]

how much faster do you think it'd be though?

Like this:
Aliases is parent command

!d discord.ext.commands.group

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.group

@discord.ext.commands.group(name=..., cls=..., **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group").

This is similar to the [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.command "discord.ext.commands.command") decorator but the `cls`
parameter is set to [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group") by default.

Changed in version 1.1: The `cls` parameter can now be passed.

[slate swan]

you can timeit

with my old code it was about 3 seconds

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group.invoke_without_command set this this to false

👀

[slate swan]

In the parent command?

Or subcommand

yes sir, inside the group decorator

[slate swan]

remember python is an interpreter language so most times it would read from top to bottom and if you execute a coro before a blocking for loop it would be faster yes as the coro before wont get invoked until the for loops is done with its iteration

[slate swan]

🏌️‍♀️ quite the opposite when it comes to decorators

the thing that sucks more is typehinting them

😭

[slate swan]

what

this is definitely not what i asked you to do

@slate swan TypeError: request() missing 1 required positional argument: 'endpoint'
?

[slate swan]

you need to pass the endpoint url or have a base url

wdym?

the site im requesting is already in text =

[slate swan]

at line 25 u got smth wrong module

[slate swan]

yeah ik but it has 2 arguments

the first one is for the http request method and the other one is the url

[slate swan]

its just a check that failed because the function wasnt a coroutine

!d asyncio.iscoroutine

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.iscoroutine

asyncio.iscoroutine(obj)```
Return `True` if *obj* is a [coroutine object](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

This method is different from [`inspect.iscoroutine()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect.iscoroutine "inspect.iscoroutine") because it returns `True` for generator-based coroutines.

[slate swan]

so I need to add something before the actual "either.io"

[slate swan]

yeah just pass "GET"

since it seems like in your old code all the http request methods are get i suppose

and why is this request not with a session?

how to i make when u send .Help to bot send u in dm a help message

[hollow zealot]

I'm new to python. and I wanna how u can combine a string with a number and then combined it again with a string
For example 'Hi im' + 20 + 'Years old'

[slate swan]

aiohttp has a method which starts a session in the back so you wont have 2 nested context managers

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.author

Union[User, Member]:
Returns the author associated with this context’s command. Shorthand for Message.author

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

[visual island]

You've received an answer in #help-cake.

[slate swan]

I got, ContentTypeError: 0, message='Attempt to decode JSON with unexpected mimetype: text/html; charset=utf-8'

do I disable content_type?

xcirno knows everything😳

[slate swan]

async def help(user, member)"

?*

[slate swan]

ahhh it returned text well just dont parse it and just return the payload

i thought the api returns json as most do😅

[slate swan]

it's not an api

[slate swan]

ah what is it a website?

yes

yeah i figured as i rechecked and the function name is web_scrape

yeah

so what do I do instead?

how to my bot keep be alive?

[slate swan]

host it somewhere

[slate swan]

just dont parse the payload and return the unparsed payload

yeah but i don't gonna have my cmds

[slate swan]

what's the name for it again

[slate swan]

sorry,?

[slate swan]

name for what exactly?

[slate swan]

the unparsed payload

[slate swan]

async def request(method: str, endpoint: str, /) -> "Any":
    async with aiohttp.request(method, endpoint) as data:
        return data

this is what i ment

and my actual command code would remain the same?

or just with the get

the coroutine aiohttp provides await ClientResponse.json() just parses the payload and makes it into a dict

[slate swan]

yeah its just more optimized

what do I have to await?
coroutine 'ClientResponse.read' was never awaited

well the line where an instance of ClientResponse is getting used to invoke ClientReponse.read

I dont see one?

show traceback

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'startswith' C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\asyncio\events.py:80: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'ClientResponse.read' was never awaited self._context.run(self._callback, *self._args)

can you show your code

async def web_scrape(method: str, endpoint: str, /) -> "Any":
    async with aiohttp.request(method, endpoint) as data:
        return data

@client.command()
async def wyr(ctx):
    text = await web_scrape("GET", "https://either.io/")
    soup = BeautifulSoup(text, 'lxml')
    l = []
    for choice in soup.find_all("span",{"class":"option-text"}):
        l.append(choice.text)
    embed = discord.Embed(color=discord.Color.blue())
    embed.set_author(name = "Would you rather..", url="https://either.io/", icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
    embed.add_field(name = "EITHER..", value=f":regional_indicator_a: {l[0]}", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name = "OR..", value=f":regional_indicator_b: {l[1]}", inline=False)
    msg = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
    await msg.add_reaction("🇦")
    await msg.add_reaction("🇧")

well i dont really see anything related to the traceback itself

my code is probably incorrect

[hollow zealot]

nvm i figured it out

[slate swan]

254*

[slate swan]

can you show more of the traceback?

[slate swan]

!d discord.User.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.id

The user’s unique ID.

[slate swan]

How?

[heavy shard]

shouldn't it be return data.text()

[hollow zealot]

oh thks

but i figured it out already

[slate swan]

yeah rud0lf is right you forgot to parse the data as text

[hollow zealot]

why does mine look different? i use message.author.id

[slate swan]

it'd be return await data.text() no?

[slate swan]

well Message.author returns a Member | User object

!d discord.Message.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.author

A Member that sent the message. If channel is a
private channel or the user has the left the guild, then it is a User instead.

[slate swan]

yeah

[slate swan]

hmm weird, it's taking the same amount of time as before

[hollow zealot]

is the only way of deleting a message is only purge?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

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

[slate swan]

well its your for loop

[hollow zealot]

let me try

[slate swan]

do I just remove it then

since youre iterating through the elements its O(n) the more elements their is the more time it will take since its not linear

and im guessing you cant speed that part up?

[hollow zealot]

wait. so what message will the bot delete?

the message that triggered it?

or the bots message?

[slate swan]

depends on where you use the method and on which instance

[slate swan]

there is still a way to make your for loop not block anything but its kinda over kill

[slate swan]

let me see it

[slate swan]

any help?

[slate swan]

copy that text and send it here

does someone know how to my bot keep alive but to i don't host somewhere

[slate swan]

if it's alive it's gonna have to be hosted

def for_loop():
    for num in range(101):
        print(num)
bot_instance.loop.create_task(for_loop())

since youre creating a task with the loop attr the Bot class has which returns a AbstractEventLoop it wont block anything in your code but in your case you should leave your for loop to execute first as it depends on the results of it

[slate swan]

it has to be a coroutine

[slate swan]

that's to complicated for me

[slate swan]

😅

what did you code your api in?

my api wrapper?

the actual site

[stone beacon]

Crython

[slate swan]

well its not really my site its someone elses i just made a wrapper in python for it

[slate swan]

yeah but i don't gonna have my commands

[slate swan]

oh I thought you made the waifu.pics site

[hollow zealot]

can u give me an example on how to use it?

[slate swan]

nah i made a wrapper for that api

[slate swan]

what does this mean

when i host

[slate swan]

ahh Nice though

my bot gonna have of that site commands

not mine what i maked

[slate swan]

since Context.message returns a Message object you can use the method on it

!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]

I don't understand what you tryna say sorry @slate swan

[slate swan]

yeah

how do I make an api

[keen talon]

Web api ?

[slate swan]

yea

[slate swan]

depends on what you use you can use Flask or django or fastapi if you want to use python

[hollow zealot]

this is the code

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.lower() == "!delete":
    await message.channel.send(f"{message.author}> Okay")

Now how do i add it?

[keen talon]

Flask is not async ig

[slate swan]

fastapi, I just wanna make an api for random images. is it hard?

[slate swan]

well it depends if you want your api to be async

[slate swan]

well i havent really tried it but it probably is

[spice adder]

Is it possible to loop a try: expression x times, and if there are any exceptions in those x attempts, for it to go to the except?

[slate swan]

message in this case is an instance of the Message class so you can use it with that

[stone beacon]

Sounds like a question for #python-discussion

[keen talon]

It is better to use fastapi in most cases

[slate swan]

havent tried fastapi lol

[hollow zealot]

cna u do an example cause reading it example confused me .-.

[keen talon]

Did u try pygame

[oak bridge]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/4dd5cc2bc9115d26df8f5d80a9c56d07c62d66a0/discord/client.py#L212

what is this self._listeners?

I ask this because there is a method listeners = self._listeners.get(event) is using this attribute but I can't find its real instance

[unkempt canyon]

discord/client.py line 212

self._listeners: Dict[str, List[Tuple[asyncio.Future, Callable[..., bool]]]] = {}```

[slate swan]

its a dict with events to listen to iirc

[slate swan]

nope

[slate swan]

await message.delete()

[oak bridge]

in line 212, there are only type annotation there

[hollow zealot]

oh im just missing the ()

[slate swan]

yeah because it will get mutated later on in some methods hence the annotations

[hollow zealot]

what does () mean? like what does it do?

[stone beacon]

👀

[slate swan]

its calling the object

[hollow zealot]

a function or somthing?

[stone beacon]

[slate swan]

a function is an object yes

[slate swan]

no, notice the = {}

[hollow zealot]

okay thank yo

[slate swan]

!e

def a():
    ...
print(type(a))

[unkempt canyon]

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

<class 'function'>

[slate swan]

since it hasnt been called no return type has been given so its not literal to anything

just to a function obj

[heavy shard]

you can use elipsis instead of pass?

[slate swan]

yea

yes

its just bitwise pass

[oak bridge]

I am finding where the bot will register all events. Seems that mutate is that. But I can't see where the invocation located.

[hollow zealot]

how do I send embed? do i use the JSON format thing? where I type

[slate swan]

!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/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for non-interaction contexts.

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

[slate swan]

use the kwarg

[slate swan]

the events are saved in that dictionary, and are invoked using bot.dispatch if thats what you are looking for

[hollow zealot]

what .-.

[slate swan]

error:

[slate swan]

right youre using TextChannel

@client.command()
async def gstart(ctx, prize, donor, host, *, msg):

[slate swan]

it would be await message.channel.send(embed=embed)

[hollow zealot]

message.channel.send?

[slate swan]

make an embed using discord.Embed object and use the embed kwarg in send()

[slate swan]

well yes channel returns a TextChannel object which then you use the send coro

[hollow zealot]

can i do this? ```JSON
message.channel.send({
"content": "aaaa",
"embeds": [
{
"title": "wahhp",
"description": "em cool",
"color": null
}
],
"attachments": []
})

[oak bridge]

are invoked using bot.dispatch . where is the line invoke bot.dispatch then?

[slate swan]

no. we are not doing discord.js

but if you still want to do something like that , this exists:

!d discord.Embed.from_dict

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.from\_dict

classmethod from_dict(data)```
Converts a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.10)") to a [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") provided it is in the
format that Discord expects it to be in.

You can find out about this format in the [official Discord documentation](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object).

[hollow zealot]

?

hold on wth is kwarg

[slate swan]

!kwargs-args

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

These special parameters allow functions to take arbitrary amounts of positional and keyword arguments. The names args and kwargs are purely convention, and could be named any other valid variable name. The special functionality comes from the single and double asterisks (*). If both are used in a function signature, *args must appear before **kwargs.

Single asterisk
*args will ingest an arbitrary amount of positional arguments, and store it in a tuple. If there are parameters after *args in the parameter list with no default value, they will become required keyword arguments by default.

Double asterisk
**kwargs will ingest an arbitrary amount of keyword arguments, and store it in a dictionary. There can be no additional parameters after **kwargs in the parameter list.

Use cases
• Decorators (see !tags decorators)
• Inheritance (overriding methods)
• Future proofing (in the case of the first two bullet points, if the parameters change, your code won't break)
• Flexibility (writing functions that behave like dict() or print())

See !tags positional-keyword for information about positional and keyword arguments

[slate swan]

anyways im going to sleep, good night guys!

[hollow zealot]

give me an example can u?

[slate swan]

any help?

[hollow zealot]

async def on_message(message):

Then what now .-.```

[slate swan]

why would they?

[hollow zealot]

ok ig

[hollow zealot]

@slate swan mind helping me?

[slate swan]

those are not really something which needs to be hidden from users, if they really are, just use private methods and variables......

[oak bridge]

I found this too yeah. But this code won't run itself.
The most possible line would be Line366 in gateway.py

But ws._dispatch = client.dispatch are not looping over anything too

[slate swan]

its not really hidden from anyone its like treasure anyone can find it but only certain people can open the chest

[oak bridge]

and then dispatch has this component listeners = self._listeners.get(event)

[slate swan]

ofcourse events are meant to be worked along with the gateway events....

[oak bridge]

so the focus shift from dispatch to _listener (dict)

[slate swan]

never said that they hide it, they cant

discord.py does not document a lot of important internal stuff

[slate swan]

well that does nothing but get the list of functions which are registered for an event, just like any other dict.get works

[hollow zealot]

nvm figured it out .-.

[slate swan]

Those are not really something which needs to be hidden from users
but you clarify here that its "hidden"?

i think you ment enlighten?

[oak bridge]

i know dispatch reads that dictionary, but which function fill that dictionary up? that was my question

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_listener for Bot class

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_listener

add_listener(func, /, name=...)```
The non decorator alternative to [`listen()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen "discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen").

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

[slate swan]

the @event decorator for client and bot both

[austere herald]

Flatten is deprecated

[slate swan]

not everyone likes digging into the source code, documentation is the general way to learn about the functionality of a Library

[austere herald]

Use an async for list comprehension

[slate swan]

you dont really have to dig when the src is already given to you

[heavy shard]

unrelated to your problem, try using now = f'<t:{int(time.time())}>' for more timezone-friendly solution

[slate swan]

and even if they don't want to show that in docs, adding comments/documentation is important while making a Library isnt it?

well you dont even really need to see the documentation of a lib to learn about it

quite ironic

i just read its source when i wanna know deeply about it but documentation is just a shortcut

[oak bridge]

client.run(token) --> goes to client.py.
And which lines it relates to bot?

[slate swan]

and some libs docs offer source code location

[slate swan]

Bot is a subclass of Client, it uses Client's .run()

[oak bridge]

really?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

[slate swan]

i said "Bot" is a the subclass of Client, not Client is the subclass of Bot

you are looking in the opposite way.

[oak bridge]

but it's running client, not running bot

[slate swan]

then, your events work with setattr

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/ext/commands/bot.py#L1377

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ext/commands/bot.py line 1377

class Bot(BotBase, discord.Client):```

[slate swan]

Client has methods as the events

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/30c7a2179f45d370d4d2591c54943267d4fd1078/discord/client.py#L1133

[unkempt canyon]

discord/client.py line 1133

setattr(self, coro.__name__, coro)```

[slate swan]

they just set those methods using @client.event

[oak bridge]

wait, running client would trigger any bot command? as you said bot is the child

[slate swan]

if you are using Client, Bot things wont bother you

[oak bridge]

? it should be some line to link them otherwise your viewpoint is not valid

[slate swan]

not at all

!e ```py
class A:
name = "parent class"

class B(A):
name2 = "child class"

a = A()
print(getattr(a, "name2", None))
``` the B class which is a subclass of A has name2 variable in it, but that doesn't affect the parent class A

[unkempt canyon]

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

None

[slate swan]

but if you did B().name, it would get the "name" from its parent class A, thats how inheritance works.

[oak bridge]

you got the same result by deleting class B

[slate swan]

you mean if i did the same for B, it will still return None?

[oak bridge]

this return None as well

[slate swan]

thats not the point

or actually that is, i said the Bot class wont bother Client , even if it stays or not

you just proved what i said....

[slate swan]

^^

[oak bridge]

what do you mean?

[slate swan]

. what did you mean here?

[oak bridge]

my viewpoint is parent class won't link to any child class command.

[slate swan]

what else did i say?

[slate swan]

.

[slate swan]

and then you say the opposite of what u r saying now

[slate swan]

read the messages below that? xd

[slate swan]

.

[slate swan]

.

[oak bridge]

the branch of mentioning bot script is totally irrelevant

and you mention bot

[slate swan]

you were taking about listeners, and client doesn't have listeners, bot does.

doesnt exist

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

[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/latest/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...

[slate swan]

difference between listeners and event is
you can have only one event
but unlimited listeners.

[oak bridge]

yeah so the question would be how client calls bot's method

[slate swan]

why not just use Bot

[slate swan]

it does not~

[oak bridge]

hey client.run(TOKEN) could load @events

that's not a problem of choice, it's actually working like this

[slate swan]

client does not depend on bot any ways

and that _listeners dictionary is only being utilised while using wait_for

[oak bridge]

yeah so that confirms bot script is irrelevent

[slate swan]

or dispatch

what do you actually want to do kin?

[oak bridge]

see how client loads event

[slate swan]

the bot class isnt really useless if it were then the client class is useless as well just handle the gateway events yourself am i right

[maiden fable]

oki calm down

[slate swan]

i need sleep

@client.event
async def event_name(*args):
   ... 

client.event_name = event_name # where event_name is a function
``` are the exposed methods of adding events to a client

[fierce kite]

discord webhooks can't load nsfw?

[slate swan]

the first one uses setattr, in the second one you are setting the attribute manually

this has nothing to do with listeners, its utilised in wait_for and the Bot subclass

[oak bridge]

this component override the event handler of Client instance. But that is not the part loop over all events and mounting them

[slate swan]

mention the lines you are talking about

[oak bridge]

this whole thing only override the client instance attribute (event attribute)

[slate swan]

thats how "events" work

[oak bridge]

class ABC:
method1
method2
method3

@client.event modifies it that's all

But it is not mounting them or changing the dictionary of _listener

[slate swan]

if you mind reading this.

[oak bridge]

so why you mention them?

[quartz phoenix]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 5, in <module>

How do I fix it?

[placid skiff]

[jade jolt]

install that module

[quartz phoenix]

how i can install?

[fierce kite]

can discord webhooks load nsfw?

[slate swan]

i just mentioned the dispatch method, you bringed up the listeners discussion, while the solution of your question is in the last 3 lines of that method

[placid skiff]

Bruh i dunno what you wanna do but discord.py has no module related to emails

[jade jolt]

probably a different module he wants

this isnt the channel for that anyway

[slate swan]

should not matter what the content is

if you mean display by "load"

[fierce kite]

i am using reddit feed other images and videos get rendered but nsfw marked contents are unable to load even channel is marked as nsfw

[slate swan]

doesn't reddit let only registered users access nsfw content?

[oak bridge]

this still need to read this listeners = self._listeners.get(event) to get events

[quartz phoenix]

wich channel?

[slate swan]

no why?

[jade jolt]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[slate swan]

getattr is not dependent over it

!d getattr

[unkempt canyon]

getattr

getattr(object, name[, default])```
Return the value of the named attribute of *object*. *name* must be a string. If the string is the name of one of the object’s attributes, the result is the value of that attribute. For example, `getattr(x, 'foobar')` is equivalent to `x.foobar`. If the named attribute does not exist, *default* is returned if provided, otherwise [`AttributeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#AttributeError "AttributeError") is raised.

Note

Since [private name mangling](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#private-name-mangling) happens at compilation time, one must manually mangle a private attribute’s (attributes with two leading underscores) name in order to retrieve it with [`getattr()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#getattr "getattr").

[slate swan]

its a python fucntion which just needs an object and name of the method to get it, nothing else

[oak bridge]

The path should be like this:

1. client.run(TOKEN)
2. await self start()
3. await self.connect()
4. coro = DiscordWebSocket.from_client(self, **ws_params)

gateway.py

5. LINE366 ws._dispatch = client.dispatch

ok I found it.
entry = EventListener(event=event, predicate=predicate, result=result, future=future)

[fierce kite]

i don't think so

[slate swan]

i don't see any mention of _listeners here

why don't you try one thing

make a client object, add some event to it and then print(client._listeners) after running it

if that returns a dictionary with those items then it should matter else thats not related

[oak bridge]

dispatch method still need to intake event strings in it

[slate swan]

the gateway.py's dispatch provides that manually

Why am I getting an error ModuleNotFoundError: no module named ‘discord-interactions’
I had this import for over 2 days without anything like this

[oak bridge]

I misread some attribute. EventListener is not the object handle it

[oak bridge]

Do you know where is the line manifest the gateway.py's dispatch provides that manually?

[hasty bison]

[hasty bison]

anyone?

[slate swan]

message is not defined, wrong decorator

[minor oriole]

can someone help me with nextcord's cogs?

i made a setup function which takes client as a parameter

but then i dont know what to put in it

the load_extension and the add_cog are 2 options given to me by nextcord helper staff

[slate swan]

client.add_cog(cogname(client))

[minor oriole]

the thing is Ping here is not in the same file so

i mean it shows that its not defined

are we puttin this code in the ping.py file or in main.py?

[paper sluice]

import Ping then...

[paper sluice]

you put the setup function in the same file as the cog

while loading the cog, it tries to look for the setup function

[hasty bison]

what do you mean?

[placid skiff]

you have nothing called message in that function
you have the context (ctx) since it is a command

the context has a send method

!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/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for non-interaction contexts.

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

[minor oriole]

Does it take a lot of time to register the slash command of Ping?

i put my guild id inside tho

[placid skiff]

and the deco for command is not @client.event it is @client.command in your case

[placid skiff]

slash commands takes up to 1 hour to be registered globally
You have to check your package docs to find how to register it for a test guild

[regal pulsar]

its @client.command()

and its await ctx.guild.ban(member, reason = reason)

and its await ctx.channel.send

[hasty bison]

thanks but it still doesn't work

[regal pulsar]

send the code now

[hasty bison]

@client.command
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await ctx.guild.ban(member, reason = reason)
    await ctx.channel.send('Member `banned` successfully')

[regal pulsar]

its @client.command()

with brackets

[hasty bison]

still

doesn't work

[regal pulsar]

whats the error

[hasty bison]

no error

[regal pulsar]

does the bot have permission to ban

[hasty bison]

yes

[regal pulsar]

and do you have permission to ban

[hasty bison]

it has administrator

[hasty bison]

yes its my server

[regal pulsar]

you cant ban anyone higher in heirarchy than the bot

[hasty bison]

i know

im tryna ban my alt which has no permissions

[regal pulsar]

!d discord.Guild.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.ban

await ban(user, *, reason=None, delete_message_days=1)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Bans a user from the guild.

The user must meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

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

[latent anchor]

what does this mean?

ive never seen this error before

and ive tried fixing the code but nothing works

[scarlet sorrel]

can i get my bot to add me as a friend?

[cloud dawn]

No.

[scarlet sorrel]

not any way?

[latent anchor]

why would u want that to happen

[scarlet sorrel]

to be able to add it to groups

[latent anchor]

it already be able to?

[vocal plover]

That used to be a feature long ago, but bots can no longer be in group dms

[placid verge]

bot's can only be used in guilds , DMS

[placid verge]

probably a rate limit

[latent anchor]

ive never seen a rate limit that will stop me for like 2 months
thats a old file from last year

cuz this thing happened since last year and i ignored this code until now and still doesnt work

[placid verge]

Try reseting your TOKEN if you haven't

[vocal plover]

429 is definitely a ratelimit, given it's got HTML I'd assume it's a cloudflare level ratelimit, rather than API level, which generally means you managed to spam a massive number of bad requests at the api within 10 minutes

[latent anchor]

well ok

[vocal plover]

are you running any other bots on the same machine which could be increasing the overall number of requests you're making?

[latent anchor]

no?

i only running that bot

[latent anchor]

wow tysm

[dense swallow]

i have a question about d.py's interactions... if interaction.user is the person who sent the interaction then who is the one clicking the interaction

ex: if the user types the help cmd and the bot sends a select menu, the user who invoked that select menu is interaction.user.. so if i want to add a check, so that it only works for the person who invoked it, how do i do it

[scarlet sorrel]

its ok i got it working

[crimson compass]

can a bot send a spoiler image

?

[placid skiff]

No, if you have an help command the user who invoked could be both Context.author or ApplicationCommandInteraction.author based on the fact if the command is made with a prefix or with slash commands, buttons returns a different interaction. the button click interaction is MessageInteraction

[dense swallow]

its used with prefixed commands

[placid skiff]

then when the command is invoked you will have a Context object

[dense swallow]

basically how can i add a check for that.. the menu should be only used by tthe person who invoked it.. i think is possible with async def interaction_check

but idk how to make the if/else funcs

[placid skiff]

it depends on how your menu works

[placid verge]

Yes it can send the spoiler message like this :

||Hey Guys||

[hasty bison]

he means images

not text

[placid verge]

Oh ye

well actually there is a way to send spoiler images with bots .
Just add SPOILER_ to files name and then send that image

[placid verge]

file = ctx.message.attachments[0]
file.filename = f"SPOILER_{file.filename}"
spoiler = await file.to_file()
await ctx.send(file=spoiler)

[dense swallow]

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
        if interaction.user and interaction.user.id != # random person clicking the menu:
            await interaction.response.send_message(content="This menu is not for you!", ephemeral=True)
        else:
            return True

i need to know what i should use in the place of that comment

[placid skiff]

bruh i told ya it depends on how your menu is constructed

[dense swallow]

in my opinion its pretty basic, want the full code?

[placid skiff]

you subclassed the View class?

[dense swallow]

yes

[placid skiff]

then you can do it like this
You will add a new parameter in the constructor called user (which will be passed whenever the help command is casted) which will be equal to the user which has used the help command, then you will need, inside your view subclass, to override a method of the view class called interaction_check (you will just need to add an async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) in your subclass). This callback method will be called every time a button of that view is pressed. inside of that you will have an if statement:
if self.user (or wathever you will call the user parameter in your view) != interaction.user and inside the if you will do your stuff

[slate swan]

how to do on_message

[dense swallow]

ooh thanks! ill try that

[dense swallow]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

[cloud dawn]

why?

my spacing is still there and i got the latest version

Unless you got some kinda of beta

[placid skiff]

yeah mine too are pretty the same

[maiden fable]

I'm on Discord Beta

Prolly that's the issue

Also, context commands are available on phone at last!

[placid skiff]

wdym?

[maiden fable]

User and Message Commands

[placid skiff]

Oh nice

but wait message commands weren't already available?

[maiden fable]

Not on mobile, no

[placid skiff]

weird, i remember that i used them

[maiden fable]

Idk, I wasn't ever able to use them on mobile

[cloud dawn]

They were

Oh the new menu thingy no those were not.

[maiden fable]

New menu seems good tho

The UI is the same as that of iOS

[placid skiff]

uhm well i don't have the new update yet, just realized it

[maiden fable]

Lol

[placid skiff]

i've v126.12

[maiden fable]

128.8

[placid skiff]

now i'm sad

[maiden fable]

I had to update manually, even when I have auto update enabled

[placid skiff]

yeah but i don't have any update in the store too

[maiden fable]

Yoo Discord now supports using Regex for filtering logs

I pay the nitro but i can't get the newest feature

really sad

[hollow zealot]

how do I add bot activity? i tried a lot of things but nothing seems to work .-.

[neat field]

Which ipc can i use for my discord bot?

[hollow zealot]

wdym?

[neat field]

like is there packages i can use?'

or should i creare my own

[hollow zealot]

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

[neat field]

no lmoa nvm

[placid skiff]

In the docs, if an intent is required, then it will be written

[hollow zealot]

??

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Guild.fetch_members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_members

Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the guild’s members. In order to use this,
[`Intents.members()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") must be enabled.

Note

This method is an API call. For general usage, consider [`members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.members "discord.Guild.members") instead...

            )```

[placid skiff]

for example this, you can see that in order to use it you require member intents

[hollow zealot]

yeah do i just put activity? or do i have to do more?

like await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=activity)

cant copy paste it

[neat field]

is this in ur main file or a cog?

[hollow zealot]

u mean this? client = discord.Client()

[neat field]

yes

[hollow zealot]

main

[neat field]

so instead of bot use client

[hollow zealot]

oh ok

thank your a life saver

i've been searching an hour

[neat field]

glad i helped

[hollow zealot]

i cant find an answer

[neat field]

docs is the best option

[hexed pagoda]

ehem :///

mine says: client = discord.Client()
TypeError: Client.init() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

[hollow zealot]

i use stackoverflow and discordpy site think

thats where i search

[hexed pagoda]

and i foun out i should put intents.deafault or smt

[neat field]

do client = discord.Client(intents= discord.intents.defualt())
