[warped mirage]

so tell me for example mee6 bot

whats are theirs tos

[stone beacon]

Yes... yes they can

[stone beacon]

I'm 99% sure it's on their website somewhere

[warped mirage]

why do u need a tos?

its not like ur adding a illegal command

[stone beacon]

Poor Ash

[slate swan]

you state a privacy policy for that kind of stuff

[warped mirage]

bruh no f sense im so bad at this stuff

[slate swan]

if you're think that everyone's insane here.......why are you still asking

😭

[warped mirage]

Unless otherwise specified, the terms of use detailed in this section apply generally when using this Website.

Single or additional conditions of use or access may apply in specific scenarios and in such cases are additionally indicated within this document.

By using this Website, Users confirm to meet the following requirements:

There are no restrictions for Users in terms of being Consumers or Business Users; so can i just copy this?

[jade tartan]

I cant seem to get this working

[stone beacon]

Vscode is screaming at you to format your code that's all

[slate swan]

you bot is not a website.....

[warped mirage]

wait

[stone beacon]

try that, it might help

If it doesn't help then you just gotta manually fix your indents and tabs

[jade tartan]

Where did you find that?

[warped mirage]

this stuff makes no sense lmao , so i must write pages of tos and violations and stuff

[slate swan]

yes

[stone beacon]

🤣

[slate swan]

your questions are hellish now, told you it makes sense so it does

[warped mirage]

OHHHHHH

[jade tartan]

Where did you find that?

[warped mirage]

wait so u basically add a guide or whatever for stuff eg if there is stuff u can buy

[slate swan]

no-

[warped mirage]

correct?

then tf is this

[slate swan]

....

[stone beacon]

terms of service = how consumers should use your service. Nothing complex about it fam just state what people are allowed to do

[warped mirage]

use commands

[stone beacon]

Poor Ash

[slate swan]

I'm out

[warped mirage]

bruh

[warped mirage]

how consumers should use your service. = use commands ......

[slate swan]

a tos is more like protection

basically to protect from getting your app counterfeited

[warped mirage]

how tho ..... its not like im gonna add anything bad

like it doesnt make sense u get what i mean?

[slate swan]

it isnt about your app not being legal, thats completely different and requires a privacy policy

[warped mirage]

and my app is the bot application right?

[slate swan]

yes

[jade tartan]

Where did you find that format document thing?

And it aint working

[warped mirage]

so can i copy the tos that people have

[slate swan]

depends on you and how you want your app to be consumed

[stone beacon]

right click

[warped mirage]

wdym by my app

[stone beacon]

anywhere or just search for it in vscode

[warped mirage]

so people can access my app?

[stone beacon]

[slate swan]

your app refers to your bot

[warped mirage]

do people have access to this?

[slate swan]

not unless you share your password with them

[warped mirage]

wait so uknow the invite link for the bot that i get ... do i share that , is that the only thing they can access

[royal geode]

How do I code a bot

[slate swan]

they can only use that url to invite your bot

[warped mirage]

not access it , correct?

[slate swan]

they can access it

since thats how they add the app

[royal geode]

What is the bace code I need

[slate swan]

I swear I'll have to meditate for 30 minutes today

[warped mirage]

Ye just access to invite the bot

[robust fulcrum]

If i use message
Then it will edit only 1 time
How can I edit it 4 times

[slate swan]

uh?

[robust fulcrum]

Like i used message.edit(content=anything)
If i want to edit it after 1 second again how can I?

[warped mirage]

@slate swan I figured it out lol

Just for the Tos tho nothing else rn

Basically talking about ur bot/app

[slate swan]

use message.edit again

[slate swan]

I feel like crying now

[warped mirage]

Lmao ur a girl and I wasted ur time

Sos lol ………….

I’m usually not like this

[stone beacon]

Extended meditation period

[slate swan]

so what if I am-
and you sure did waste my time, energy, and my brain cells and the same goes for you

[stone beacon]

save the message to a variable?

[robust fulcrum]

Do i need to change the value of {message} varibale?

[stone beacon]

you can keep calling .edit() on it

[warped mirage]

Well not for me … I know what it is 😂

[stone beacon]

Unless they changed that

[slate swan]

sigh

[warped mirage]

Right now time to fix my bot xD

[slate swan]

dude, you're nuts

[robust fulcrum]

Pls tell

[warped mirage]

Ye trust me in real life I’m even worse

I’m a nightmare

500+ questions for 1 thing

[stone beacon]

Put that on your Linkedin

[warped mirage]

Sure

[stone beacon]

Just did

[dull terrace]

Start of day 7 and my bot is at 59 servers if it keeps growing exponentially like this...

[warped mirage]

Nice

[robust fulcrum]

Where

[slate swan]

@Bot.command
async def foo(ctx: Context):
   msg = await ctx.send("...")
   for _ in ["edit1", "edit2", "edit3"]:
      await msg.edit(_)
      await asyncio.sleep(1)

thts how you edit multiple times (using a list is optional though)

[stone beacon]

message = ctx.send()
message.edit()

Just keep editing the message

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[stone beacon]

Idr the rate limit though

But I think it's like 15 calls / sec so you should be fine

[robust fulcrum]

Do i need to replace _

[stone beacon]

Congrats fam

😎

[robust fulcrum]

Oh i understood

[slate swan]

an underscore is valid, it doesnt error

!e

_ = "..."
print(_)

[unkempt canyon]

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

...

[robust fulcrum]

My bot keep adding aiohttp again and again even i installed it

[slate swan]

good thing

[slate swan]

.....?

[robust fulcrum]

Everytime it add it

[slate swan]

congrats

[slate swan]

just run poetry add aiohttp

or install the specific version it requires

[warped mirage]

btw can someone help me fix my bot

doesnt respond to commands but no errors

[dull terrace]

thanks not sure what to do next to get it to more people

[slate swan]

fine

[warped mirage]

takes time to understand

[slate swan]

whats ur bot

its fine, dont be apologetic if you dont understand things

[warped mirage]

anyways , here is my code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/bemovepova

[dull terrace]

in my about me

[slate swan]

its cool

[jade tartan]

Ayee i got my code formatted

[warped mirage]

hey @dull terrace may i ask how long did it take to code ur bot?

[dull terrace]

around 2 months

[jade tartan]

I got a question ```@commands.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
@commands.cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.guild)
async def mute(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
guild = ctx.guild
mutedRole = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Muted")

    if not mutedRole:
        mutedRole = await guild.create_role(name="Muted")

        for channel in guild.channels:
            await channel.set_permissions(mutedRole, speak=False, send_messages=False, read_message_history=True, read_messages=False)
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Muted", description=f"{member.mention} was muted ", colour=discord.Colour.blue(
    ), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow())
    embed.add_field(name="Reason:", value=reason, inline=False)
    await ctx.reply(embed=embed)
    await member.add_roles(mutedRole, reason=reason)
    await member.send(f"You have been muted from: {guild.name} Reason: {reason}")``` When someone gets muted how do i make it to where the user wont be able to type any message

[dull terrace]

of daily work pretty much

[jade tartan]

if that make sense

[warped mirage]

ok no wonder it has a big descriptions

[jade tartan]

or send any message in any channel

[warped mirage]

ill promote ur bot in my 2.3k and 8.2k member server see if it can get verified

/

[jade tartan]

Hello

[warped mirage]

\//

//

alright

[dull terrace]

that would be awesome, thanks dude

[warped mirage]

np btw can u give me some tips on what can i add to a bot or how to make it good

[robust fulcrum]

Help anyone pls help
My replit is being mad
It keeps downloading aiohtto again and again and not starting my bot

[dull terrace]

that goofy smile

[slate swan]

why's it flying....

[warped mirage]

as u can see my bio im developing a bot that will be published lol

[slate swan]

we cant help u

[warped mirage]

i mean status

[jade tartan]

Well ask replit not here

[slate swan]

do poetry add aiohttp

[robust fulcrum]

I did

[slate swan]

refresh

[dull terrace]

because you went to the side and not down, it would be very difficult to play if you fell going sideways

[warped mirage]

copy ur code , make a new project lmao

[slate swan]

its a nice game though, kinda love it lol

[dull terrace]

what type of bot are you making

[robust fulcrum]

Bruh

[dull terrace]

thanks, that means a lot, worked so hard 😤

[slate swan]

its worth a try

[robust fulcrum]

Are you encouragimg me or discouracmging

[slate swan]

can see

[slate swan]

u may as well leave if ur gonna act like this

dont overthink.

[warped mirage]

idk , so far what i made was ban command kick mute unmute some helper functions , and in development almost finished my leveling system , i need to finish my enable , disable system then add a leaderboard

[maiden fable]

How did u even grow yr bot this much 👀

[warped mirage]

i cant really identify the type yet probs multipurpose

[slate swan]

creative pfp

[maiden fable]

Thanks

[dull terrace]

like $5 in ads, should be getting $15 in free ads next month if the vote rate stays how it has been

got a wild 20% click through on one of them i spent $1 on

[maiden fable]

Oh, cool

[warped mirage]

bruh my bot doesnt respond to any commands , or has errors

smh

[slate swan]

first of all there is a lot of code that is redundant, trivial, and written with bad practices, most of it is in the on_message event

[maiden fable]

Still no fix?

[slate swan]

now u should make a website and a server

youll be making money

[dull terrace]

so is it a more general purpose bot? you need something to make it stand out from the others

[warped mirage]

lemme send all ss of what i coded for the disable / enable . brb

[dull terrace]

maybe a fun theme

[robust fulcrum]

Bro i need to add all packages again

[slate swan]

just to be honest, i dont think youll get far with a moderation bot as theres no many already

[maiden fable]

Hm, my bot is in like 160 servers in || 11 months ||

[slate swan]

do u want it to work or not?

[dull terrace]

already got my server up and running and posted on a couple places

[slate swan]

can u send me a link in dms

i can advertise it too

more ppl need to see it

[dull terrace]

sure

[jade tartan]

Hello

no body answered me

[maiden fable]

Olie gets lucky 👀

Ngl, I don't really like bot deving much since all the ideas are already taken

[slate swan]

both skill and luck

[maiden fable]

Agreed

[warped mirage]

and also py @client.group() async def slvl(ctx): return

not that much xd @slate swan

[maiden fable]

No embed

!paste exists

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[dull terrace]

not necessarily, depends how you put a twist on it. Like every story has been done but more stories keep being created with just twists on common themes and do well.

[warped mirage]

im showing ss of what i coded extra so it makes sense

[dull terrace]

it's a moderation bot but with x

[maiden fable]

X

Define x

[warped mirage]

idk ima probs add minigames to my bot along with truth or dares , along with 8 ball and stuff uknow , make the bot full on good

[vocal plover]

If you're going to make a moderation bot you need your average ban|kick|mute etc. but more importantly you need something really unique that makes it worth it over some of the kings of mod bots like gearbot/zeppelin

[jade tartan]

    @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    @commands.cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.guild)
    async def mute(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
        guild = ctx.guild
        mutedRole = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Muted")

        if not mutedRole:
            mutedRole = await guild.create_role(name="Muted")

            for channel in guild.channels:
                await channel.set_permissions(mutedRole, speak=False, send_messages=False, read_message_history=True, read_messages=False)
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Muted", description=f"{member.mention} was muted ", colour=discord.Colour.blue(
        ), timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow())
        embed.add_field(name="Reason:", value=reason, inline=False)
        await ctx.reply(embed=embed)
        await member.add_roles(mutedRole, reason=reason)
        await member.send(f"You have been muted from: {guild.name} Reason: {reason}")```  When someone gets muted how do i make it to where the user wont be able to type any message

[warped mirage]

ill send u my code for mute

@client.command(description="Mute the specified user")
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    guild = ctx.guild
    mutedRole = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Muted")

    if not mutedRole:
        mutedRole = await guild.create_role(name="Muted")

        for channel in guild.channels:
            await channel.set_permissions(mutedRole, speak=False, send_messages=False)
    await member.add_roles(mutedRole, reason=reason)
    bedem = discord.Embed(name="Muted", description=f"{member.mention} has been muted because {reason}", color=0xBFFF00)
    await ctx.send(embed=bedem)
    await member.send(f"You have been muted in {guild.name} for {reason}")``` basic enough

u must have a role called Muted

[vocal plover]

Why not use native timeouts?

[warped mirage]

idk tbf

anyways can someone help me fix my bot?

[dull terrace]

that's the hard bit

[jade tartan]

ok well i want it to where it wont let the user from sending a message in a channel

[warped mirage]

ok one sec

[jade tartan]

So thats basically not that

Do we make it like this

[warped mirage]

for channel in guild.channels:
            await channel.set_permissions(mutedRole, speak=False, send_messages=False)```

this.

[dull terrace]

that's all been done though

[warped mirage]

can u recommend something then

[heavy shard]

you need another await client.process_commands(message) before return

[dull terrace]

if you're doing something that's already been done, the only way for it to be worth it is to do it better than anything that's been done

[warped mirage]

can u show me which return

[vocal plover]

if I think of a good original idea imma keep it for myself

[stray carbon]

yo

[vocal plover]

not too many of those flying around nowadays

[stray carbon]

im a mysql user

[warped mirage]

theres nothing new u can make tbf and if there is tell me what

[heavy shard]

        if levelsys and not levelsys[0]:
            return

in on_message

[stray carbon]

cant i set connection attr

so i dont have to connect again and again?

for each cog

[jade tartan]

Ohh so just change the speak for example to True?

[warped mirage]

ye

[warped mirage]

do i put it on the level command or message event

[heavy shard]

in on_message

[warped mirage]

ok

[dull terrace]

idk just connect random stuff together until something makes sense, squid game moderation bot, minecraft truth or dare, coffee server

[jade tartan]

Well that aint working

[dull terrace]

whatever you're interested in

[warped mirage]

?

[warped mirage]

that would be against tos most of them i think

[heavy shard]

exactly

[warped mirage]

ok

[stray carbon]

i did this in on_ready

try:
    db = mysql.connector.connect(user='user', password='password',
                                 host='host',
                                 database='database')
except:
    print('Error')

bot.db = db

Still got error object Bot has not attribute db

[warped mirage]

doesnt work , it blocks the level commands , hmm ima try in level command maybe

[heavy shard]

no no, it should be before exiting on_message - at the end and before every return

[warped mirage]

lemme send my current on_message 1 sec

[stray carbon]

does it work in nextcord?

[jade tartan]

@warped mirage it still doesnt work

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/evinoroxab @heavy shard

[heavy shard]

it's not there... before return

[warped mirage]

ss which return

[heavy shard]

        if levelsys and not levelsys[0]:
            return

[slate swan]

How can my bot make a send all warnings of a user in one embed?

[warped mirage]

i have

but then nothing else works

all works

apart leveling

[robust fulcrum]

@slate swan
Your command gave me this error

[heavy shard]

did you use enable leveling command?

[warped mirage]

YES IT works now

one more issue tho.

doesnt send the message like system has been disabled / enabled

[dull terrace]

description = ""
for file_line in file_lines:
    if member.mention in file_line:
        description += str(file_line)
if len(description) > 0:
    embed = discord.Embed(description=description)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[heavy shard]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/imikajifun

[slate swan]

so i have this code in a module im using

class PyKingError(Exception):
    pass

class ApiError(PyKingError):
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return "The API is down"

class InvalidKeyError(PyKingError):
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
      return "invalid key"

class DailyLimitError(PyKingError):
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return "limit hit"```
what i wanna add in the main code incase a error of these happen:|
```py
except PyKingError(The error name i wanna add it here or specify a action to do for each error)```

[pliant gulch]

You can place the error inside of a variable, then isinstance it. E,g ```py
try:
...
except PyKingError as e:
if isinstance(e, ApiError):
# It's an API error.

[warped mirage]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable``` any ideas

@client.command(aliases=["lb", "lvlboard"])
async def leaderboard(ctx):
    async with client.db.execute("SELECT levelsys FROM levelSettings WHERE guild = ?",
                                (ctx.guild.id,)) as cursor:
        levelsys = await cursor.fetchone()
    if levelsys:
        if not levelsys[0] == 1:
            return await ctx.send('The leveling system is already disabled')
    async with client.db.execute("SELECT level, xp, user FROM levels WHERE guild = ? ORDER BY level DESC, xp DESC LIMIT 10",
                                (ctx.guild.id,)) as cursor:
        data = await cursor.fetchone()
    if data:
        em = discord.Embed(title="Leaderboard")
        count = 0
        for table in data:
            count += 1
            user = ctx.guild.get_member(table[2])
            em.add_field(name=f"{count}.{user.name}", value=f"Level -**{table[0]}** | XP -**{table[1]}**", inline=False)
        return await ctx.send(embed = em)
    return ctx.send("There are no users stored in the leaderboard")``` this is what i coded

@slate swan would u know ? , this is my last thing i need

or @heavy shard

[dense swallow]

can u have many status playing one after the other in a sub-classed bot class?

ik theres a way to do it the normal way, ie: bot = commands.Bot()

but when the bot is in class, it has the activity arg

[small ravine]

What resources would you suggest a beginner for developing bots?

[potent spear]

A task is what you need, look for that in documentation

[warped mirage]

YO

its been a bit

[potent spear]

?

[potent spear]

Read the full error

[small ravine]

Like I am a beginner any good tutorials?

[potent spear]

Learn python first ofc

If you scroll in the pinned messages, there’s a quickstarter

[warped mirage]

idk tbf this is the last thing i need for my level system , here is my last code ```py

@client.command(aliases=["lb", "lvlboard"])
async def leaderboard(ctx):
async with client.db.execute("SELECT levelsys FROM levelSettings WHERE guild = ?",
(ctx.guild.id,)) as cursor:
levelsys = await cursor.fetchone()
if levelsys:
if not levelsys[0] == 1:
return await ctx.send('The leveling system is already disabled')
async with client.db.execute("SELECT level, xp, user FROM levels WHERE guild = ? ORDER BY level DESC, xp DESC LIMIT 10",
(ctx.guild.id,)) as cursor:
data = await cursor.fetchone()
if data:
em = discord.Embed(title="Leaderboard")
count = 0
for table in data:
count += 1
user = ctx.guild.get_member(table[2])
em.add_field(name=f"{count} - {user.name}", value=f"Level -{table[0]} | XP -{table[1]}", inline=False)
return await ctx.send(embed = em)
return ctx.send("There are no users stored in the leaderboard")```

[paper sluice]

levelsys[0] == 1: what do you expect?

[potent spear]

You still haven’t learned to read errors correctly

[warped mirage]

bro

int is not subscriptable...

[potent spear]

You’re just sending the last lines and hour whole code…

An error traceback contains so much more info

[warped mirage]

without this code everything else works

so i know what im saying .....

[small ravine]

Like I know python but I never created a bot...

[potent spear]

Last message still applies

[potent spear]

Well, you should be able to pinpoint EXACTLY what line is causing the error thanks to your traceback

[warped mirage]

user = ctx.guild.get_member(table[2])```

this

[potent spear]

Well, have you googled the error first?

[heavy shard]

change data = await cursor.fetchone() to data = await cursor.fetchall()

[slate swan]

hi, i have a little question about discord bot ability. i dont want to be bothersome is anybody here to hear my question?

[placid skiff]

It's what we all do here the whole day

[potent spear]

Sad AND true

[slate swan]

Hi @placid skiff thanks for the reply. My question, its possible to give yourself a role without having to put a command in the server?

To use (my own) bot to give me a role

namecheap.com

[potent spear]

Not very discord bot related

[placid skiff]

Yeah, manually through discord directly, with a bot you can use some events ore some tasks depends on how you want to do it

[slate swan]

the issue: i dont have admin in server but my bot here does

[placid skiff]

Uh

!d discord.Member.add_roles this one is the method that gives one or more roles to a member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to
use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list
of roles than the highest role of the member.

[slate swan]

thank you, i will check on this and if i have more questions come back here

and how to say which person you give that role to

[placid skiff]

It is a Member object

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User")...

[placid skiff]

There are various ways to retrieve a Member, through an id, through a message, through his name or discriminator it depends on what information do you have in that moment

[warped mirage]

em.add_field(name=f"{count} - {user.name}", value=f"Level - **{table[0]}** | XP - **{table[1]}**", inline=False)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'``` any ideas?

[slate swan]

so if i put discord.Member= 977931752469311549 above this thats how i can say who it is right

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Guild.get_member nope to get a member through an id you can use this method

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_member

get_member(user_id, /)```
Returns a member with the given ID.

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

[warped mirage]

guys how do i make a global leaderboard , is it possible or nah

[slate swan]

if u want to pay the least its stays yours for 1 year but u can choose how much to stay

custom domains of course

but they dont support all tlds

u can have that

ok

[maiden fable]

Renew from namecheap, then from some other registrar and so on

[potent spear]

Github has free hosting for an account 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

thats nothing special lmao

[warped mirage]

Can u help me make my lb global

So that it’s multi guide I guess

[potent spear]

Anyone can

[warped mirage]

Shall I send code and u help me

[heavy shard]

try adding int( ... ) -> user = ctx.guild.get_member(int(table[2])) , but i'm just guessing here

[potent spear]

No, I’m busy
You gotta TRY first

[warped mirage]

huh

[potent spear]

You have to learn how to debug, do that for half a day and it’ll make you ask 90% less questions here

[warped mirage]

Lol

Till then help me fix the only thing that I need xD

[potent spear]

I won’t

Learning how to debug won’t even require us to help you afterwards

[warped mirage]

Bruh it’s probs one fix but idk

[potent spear]

Learning what the error means is 1 step in the right direction

[warped mirage]

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'```

This is the error lmao

[potent spear]

.

[warped mirage]

I already told u where the error comes from

em.add_field(name=f"{count} - {user.name}", value=f"Level - **{table[0]}** | XP - **{table[1]}**", inline=False)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'``` any ideas?

[terse coyote]

how to timeout user?

[potent spear]

Aight, let’s check what you think is causing this
Why do you think this error occurs? Be as specific as possible

[potent spear]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the
given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.10)").

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

Hi???

what does this mean

[warped mirage]

I think it’s because I have ctx.guild

Guild I think is the problem

[potent spear]

Nope

[terse coyote]

i can timeout on any time?

[warped mirage]

Bruh idk then

[potent spear]

Sure

[warped mirage]

Table ?

[potent spear]

Nope

[terse coyote]

thx

[warped mirage]

Ctx.guild.get_member

[stray carbon]

?

[warped mirage]

Must be in this

[heavy shard]

you probably need BIGINT type for guild when creating the table

[stray carbon]

oo

[potent spear]

Sure

[warped mirage]

Get _ member

This ?

[potent spear]

Is this in a command?

[warped mirage]

Wait hold on

user = ctx.guild.get_member(table[2])
            em.add_field(name=f"{count} - {user.name}", value=f"Level - **{table[0]}** | XP - **{table[1]}**", inline=False)``` can u see the error

[potent spear]

your main problem is the following: user is None

Make sure table[2] returns an int, not a string

[warped mirage]

So (int(table[2])

?

[stray carbon]

How to update a table

or get all tables to delete them

[heavy shard]

ALTER TABLE table_name ALTER COLUMN column_name NEW_TYPE

[warped mirage]

Yo would this make sense

(Int(table[2])

[warped mirage]

@potent spear I made it a int and no luck

So ye

Ima check docs but no hope

[warped mirage]

yo would u know or nah

[potent spear]

Is this in a command?

[warped mirage]

@client.command(aliases=["lb", "lvlboard"])
async def leaderboard(ctx):
    async with client.db.execute("SELECT levelsys FROM levelSettings WHERE guild = ?",
                                (ctx.guild.id,)) as cursor:
        levelsys = await cursor.fetchone()
    if levelsys:
        if not levelsys[0] == 1:
            return await ctx.send('The leveling system is already disabled')
    async with client.db.execute("SELECT level, xp, user FROM levels WHERE guild = ? ORDER BY level DESC, xp DESC LIMIT 10",
                                (ctx.guild.id,)) as cursor:
        data = await cursor.fetchall()
    if data:
        em = discord.Embed(title="Leaderboard")
        count = 0
        for table in data:
            count += 1
            user = ctx.guild.get_member(table[2])
            em.add_field(name=f"{count} - {user.name}", value=f"Level - **{table[0]}** | XP - **{table[1]}**", inline=False)
        return await ctx.send(embed = em)
    return ctx.send("There are no users stored in the leaderboard")``` i suppose so

[potent spear]

Verify that the member id is correct

[warped mirage]

So I add member.I’d?

@potent spear

Nvm I fixed it all I did was removed .name and kept it user

[slate swan]

sigh

[charred lark]

Is it possible to react to discord embed using discordpy

[slate swan]

how do i like make a command that can only be triggered by one person and no one else

its probably really simple i just havent coded in months

[charred lark]

Example of embed

Reaction fraud, identify theft and drug distribution

[maiden fable]

Oh well

Lucas unban 😔

[slate swan]

I still dont understand why people dont use ids 😔

[maiden fable]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warped mirage]

Guys what’s the appropriate permission for mute members in python

[maiden fable]

Yo Master, yr issue fixed?

[warped mirage]

Like how do u do it

[maiden fable]

!d disnake.Member.timeout is the easiest way

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.timeout

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

Times out the member from the guild; until then, the member will not be able to interact with the guild.

Exactly one of `duration` or `until` must be provided. To remove a timeout, set one of the parameters to `None`.

You must have the [`Permissions.moderate_members`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Permissions.moderate_members "disnake.Permissions.moderate_members") permission to do this.

New in version 2.3.

[warped mirage]

I think so works globally I removed the .name and just kept (user)

[maiden fable]

o

[warped mirage]

No no like @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)

[maiden fable]

Ah

[warped mirage]

This is what I mean but for muting members in text channels

[maiden fable]

!d disnake.Permissions.moderate_members

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Permissions.moderate\_members

Returns True if a user can perform limited moderation actions (timeout).

New in version 2.3.

[warped mirage]

So it’s moderate_members ?

[maiden fable]

Yes

[slate swan]

weird name 😔

[maiden fable]

I don't think so

Well blame discord anyways

[slate swan]

an individual timeout_members would be better thouugh

[maiden fable]

Who knows if discord gonna add more moderation features

But yea, if discord isn't gonna add more, I agree with u

[slate swan]

cant think of any more features which can be made though

[maiden fable]

True tho

[slate swan]

how can i make a invite for every guild my bot is in ?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_invite also be ready to become ratelimited

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[warped mirage]

Kk

[austere vale]

  async def ban(self,ctx, user: nextcord.User, *, reason=None):
    await ctx.guild.ban(user = user, reason=reason)
    try:
      await user.send(f'You have been banned.')
    except Exception as e:
      await ctx.send("Failed to DM the user, oh well.")
    embed=nextcord.Embed(title="Banned User", description=f"I have successfully banned `{user}` for the reason of: `{reason}`", color=0xfd9fa1)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

for some reason my bot cant dm people on ban, does anyone know why?

[cerulean geyser]

You can't DM someone if you don't share a server with them, so once they get banned, your bot shares no servers with the user so they cant be DM'd

[slate swan]

you cant dm someone whom you dont share... ^

[austere vale]

even if i try to dm them before banning?

[slate swan]

if you dm them before banning, and they have their dms open, the message gets send

[austere vale]

is it fine that i dont define e in the except Exception as e: line

[slate swan]

but you are defining e

that line literally means e = Exception

maybe what you should do is run isinstance() on the exception to check if it's actually failing to send the message

otherwise print the unexpected exception to console

[austere vale]

okay thank you!

[scarlet sorrel]

i did
await guildd.create_role(name="zenham", permissions=permissions.all)
and i got
NameError: name 'permissions' is not defined
i know im doing something wrong but what?

[exotic maple]

How would i send a value from a json format from an API?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.create_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_role

await create_role(*, name=..., permissions=..., color=..., colour=..., hoist=..., display_icon=..., mentionable=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") for the guild.

All fields are optional...

[slate swan]

did you import permissions from discord?

[scarlet sorrel]

i just did import discord

[slate swan]

then it's discord.Permissions.all

[scarlet sorrel]

thanks

[scarlet sorrel]

AttributeError: module 'discord.permissions' has no attribute 'all'

[slate swan]

did you capitalize the P?

[scarlet sorrel]

😮

[slate swan]

it's also a function so

permissions=discord.Permissions.all()

[slate swan]

depends on how you want to format it

[exotic maple]

Its a format from the api page, i want to then return the value to the user

[slate swan]

well that's more specific to the api in question

give me an example of a returned response

[exotic maple]

{
"status": "ok"
}

And it returns to the user from the bot the value of status

in this case "ok"

[slate swan]

it's a dictionary, so you just do

response["status"]

response being whatever you named the variable with the content ofc

[manic path]

Is there a point in redefining both on_message_edit and on_raw_message_edit?
Because I don't see any instances where we would need to redefine both, cause doesn't on_raw_message_edit already perform all the tasks of on_message_edit + it can fetch messages outside of the internal cache.

[exotic maple]

'Response' object is not subscriptable is the error i got

[slate swan]

let me see the code for the web request

[exotic maple]

wait i got it working

ty for the help

[slate swan]

np

[ripe blaze]

I was wondering if there is a way to make a slash command with more than 25 choices (by checking the user's input and deciding which choices to use) sorry if this is unclear

[fading marlin]

um, wrong server?

[fading marlin]

you mean like autocomplete?

[ripe blaze]

yeah

[fading marlin]

!d discord.app_commands.autocomplete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.autocomplete

@discord.app_commands.autocomplete(**parameters)```
Associates the given parameters with the given autocomplete callback.

Autocomplete is only supported on types that have [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)"), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "(in Python v3.10)"), or [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.10)")
values.

[`Checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check "discord.app_commands.check") are supported, however they must be attached to the autocomplete
callback in order to work. Checks attached to the command are ignored when invoking the autocomplete
callback...

[ripe blaze]

thank you

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def showguilds(ctx):
      for guild in bot.guilds:
          for channel in guild.text_channels:
              link = await channel.create_invite(max_age=300)
              await ctx.send(link)```
it sends links for the amount of channels in every guild that's the only method i found, what other methods can i use to create 1 link for each guild

[fading marlin]

oh god you're gonna get so ratelimited

[heavy shard]

that's a bad idea

[slate swan]

thats the worst, you shouldnt be doing that, talking besides of ratelimits, you're breaching the privacy of the users

[fading marlin]

oh shoot right, that too

[slate swan]

ik im asking what else can i do, + how am i breaching the privacy of users, this command is limited to me for now but it's a test bot so no one has access to it

[slate swan]

dont do it, ease

i mean

if your bot grows

nvm

[slate swan]

people invite bots assuming that its just an application, not everyone knows that the developer can just access to invites, and more stuff so easily
so unless you clearly mention that the users should agree with that condition that invites may be created, its a security breach, thats just like breaking into someone's room without permission ;-;

[slate swan]

well technically yeah unless i did what u said that the user agrees to conditions

but what can i do about my issue as well

hm, whats your issue

[slate swan]

.

i wanna get 1 channel id for each guild to create a invite for each guild

[heavy shard]

why do you need it?

[slate swan]

just use the first index of the Guild.channels list

well that works only if ur bot has invite perms

it's a mod bot and for stuff that requires admin and etc so yeah

!d discord.TextChannel.permissions_for you can check the perms first

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.permissions\_for

permissions_for(obj, /)```
Handles permission resolution for the [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member")
or [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role").

This function takes into consideration the following cases...

[slate swan]

what's a way to do that

!e print(["first item", 1,2,3][0]) # 🚶‍♂️

[unkempt canyon]

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

first item

[light violet]

.

[ripe blaze]

anyone knows why I can't import it?

[paper sluice]

u need discord.py 2.0 for that

[ripe blaze]

oh

thanks

[paper sluice]

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

if u wish to upgrade

[slate swan]

python -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/rapptz/discord.py for "updating" it

[slate swan]

quick question. can u have ctx in events?

nope

[slate swan]

well, how does on_command_erorr(ctx, error) work then?

i don't work with dpy often

[slate swan]

its meant to have context,other events dont

since commands work with context, its obvious that there may be context supplied

[slate swan]

alr, gotcha

yeah i just realised how dumb of a question i asked

thats one of the most asked question in this channel xd

oh wow

[slate swan]

also, while we are talking abt events how can i get command name? like error.command.name returns none

ctx.command gives you a Command object, you can use its name property, so ctx.command.name is your deal

ohh that's why i was getting none, ic

how can i get authors avatar?

!d discord.Member.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.avatar

property avatar```
Equivalent to [`User.avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.avatar "discord.User.avatar")

[slate swan]

ctx.author or message.author return the same type of object which is a union of Member and User object

yeah ik

i'm getting member object has no attribute avatar_url

try avatar.url

!d discord.Asset.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.url

property url```
Returns the underlying URL of the asset.

[slate swan]

thanks 😅 , todays not my day for coding

happens, i mostly just take a break maybe go for lunch or a drink that always helps me!

[slate swan]

yea, i just put on music or yt

[real locust]

Can anyone explain to me what Guilds are? I'm really confused by the documentation.

[slate swan]

guilds are servers

[slate swan]

guilds is just an alias for servers

[real locust]

Augh, why wasn't that explained somewhere

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#guild-resource

[slate swan]

bro

[pliant gulch]

Directly mentions it inside of discord.py's documentation

[heavy shard]

because index.html content points at "css/whatever.css" and yours is located in "src/css/whatever.css"

get directories out of "src"

or put "index.html" inside of src

[wicked atlas]

or just add src/ to the beinning of refs

[heavy shard]

too deep 🙂 just in /src

yes

ooops so you need to get every folder and index out of /src, to the root level, sorry, i wasn't sure what this interface is for

it should look like

index.html
assets
css
js

not like

src
  index.html ... etc

yes all out

woohooo \o/

How do i make pressing a button edit an embed which has been sent in a previous command?```py

req_embed.set_footer(text=f"Request")
req_embed.set_thumbnail(url=guild.icon)

await interaction.edit_original_message(embed=req_embed)```

[warped mirage]

guys

i need help making this so u do the prefix and also use | (len(client.guilds)) i need help with this

bot status

[slate swan]

f".help | {len(bot.guilds)} servers" is that what youre looking for?

[slate swan]

"servers" should be outside the curly bracket

😳

that is so

[slate swan]

like the message sent with the view or another message?

[slate swan]

the message sent with the view

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_message

[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/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case
you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request...

[slate swan]

is this what youre looking for?

isnt the way it is telling me to do it, the same way i have been doing it?

[warped mirage]

Yes

[slate swan]

well it seems like yes youre doing it correctly and yes youre replacing the embed correctly so whats the issue😅

Hi. Is there some changelog or gist made in dpy after Danny remaintained it, in master?

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10015): Unknown Webhook

[flint bolt]

Windows 10 pro, no python installed, I goto https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.3/python-3.5.3-amd64.exe get version 3.5.3 , install. Start gitbash do python -v get the following as shown in image

I mean this is the basic of the basic , even in cmd python -v just returns the same errors and idk , I uninstalled all python known to man on my pc reinstalled , still same results. Apologizes if this is an incorrect chat room but anyone ever see this or know why its doing it? Is it because Im using an older version? 3.5.3

hitting ! then pressing enter unlocks it and displays what is listed on the last 3rd picture

[brave forge]

how to make such a mute like here ?

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6

[slate swan]

oof it seems like the webhook doesnt exist did you restarted the bot or something like that?

[slate swan]

Thank you

[slate swan]

#python-discussion #❓｜how-to-get-help

[wicked atlas]

I seem to get the same error in git bash. But try doing it in powershell or cmd, those should work fine

might have to do with it being bash or somethign

honestly, it looks less like errors and more like it's just being overly verbose

[slate swan]

hmm it does exist because the view is attached to that embed

[flint bolt]

maybe im wrong, maybe it is doing what i ask it, I apologize, through all that text , in the end "Python 3.5.3 (v3.5.3:1880cb95a742, Jan 16 2017, 16:02:32) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32" is displayed, maybe i just assumed all that text was an error , I apologize

[brave forge]

@slate swan how to make a mute for a while ? Namely, the very part with time.

[slate swan]

you want the coroutine for timeouts/mutes?

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the
given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.10)").

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

[slate swan]

if you want an event that gets dispatched on timeout you would need the following coroutine

!d discord.on_member_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_update

discord.on_member_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change...

[brave forge]

@slate swan through this it will be possible to do like this

[brave forge]

I see....
so I can't do it

[slate swan]

yup!

[brave forge]

today I have already used these arguments (before, after) and because of them, my bot did not start

[regal pulsar]

hello

[brave forge]

hi

[regal pulsar]

omg

im trying out PyKawaii rn

well once its morning that is

[brave forge]

@slate swanas I understand it , it will need to be stuffed into the event ?

[slate swan]

it would be something like this

f"Type: {'Mute' if member.is_timed_out else None}\nExpires: {member.timed_out_until}"

thats just a concept

[slate swan]

❤️

[warped mirage]

guys for all servers bot has its {(len(client.guilds))}

how would i do it for users

in a embed

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.users

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.Client.users

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.users

property users```
Returns a list of all the users the bot can see.

discord.Client.users

property users```
Returns a list of all the users the bot can see.

[slate swan]

🗿

[pliant gulch]

🗿

[slate swan]

slow

i did it for the Bot class and i was faster you slow typer🐌

[pliant gulch]

Golfed still

[warped mirage]

List[User] so this?

[slate swan]

no

if you want the len just do len(bot.users)since the property returns a list already

[warped mirage]

no need for list?

[slate swan]

no its return type is already a list

[warped mirage]

it only counts members for one server

not total

[slate swan]

no

it returns all the users the bot can see

[warped mirage]

how tf does that work

wait it reads all the members it see in the servers ye?

[slate swan]

all the users for all the guilds

[slate swan]

Make a new command that runs the code that is inside the on_ready function

[vale wing]

Bring the on_ready part to a separated function and call it whenever you'd like to

Or just call on_ready doesn't matter except that's unusual

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

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

Note

This does *not* search for threads...

[full lily]

that's what I thought. Thank you

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

[slate swan]

youre welcome!

[gusty shard]

can you explain how?

[vale wing]

Do you use cogs?

[gusty shard]

what are they

[slate swan]

what

[gusty shard]

please talk with me like im 8

[slate swan]

that wouldnt work

[vale wing]

Ok guess you don't

[glad cradle]

if it exists why you shouldn't use it

[gusty shard]

i cant get that things

[vale wing]

Global handlers also exist and they are better for this kind of exception

[slate swan]

how would it not work lol

[slate swan]

dang youre against tos👁️👁️

[vale wing]

You'd have to write local handler for every command just to handle missing permissions exception

[glad cradle]

ik

[slate swan]

he wants to restart the bot which on ready wouldnt work because how would it get fired?

[vale wing]

@gusty shard just call on_ready if you don't wanna do it better with bringing out its contents to a function

await on_ready()```

[slate swan]

No don't do that

[vale wing]

I guess you have it defined as an event

[gusty shard]

yea i do

[slate swan]

just have a command that disconnects the client from the websocket and gateway and just run the file again

[gusty shard]

i will try it thanks

[vale wing]

Yes it's a bad practice but I am too lazy too explain how to bring it out to a function

[slate swan]

Why would he have a command with that

bro he wants to restart his bot

better off using cogs

[vale wing]

Nah, he literally wants to run on_ready

[slate swan]

You wouldn't want to do that in a normal situation

[vale wing]

Read what he sent above

[slate swan]

There's no simple way to do it because there's no reason to

[gusty shard]

yea

[slate swan]

why?

[vale wing]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

i need a situation on why

[gusty shard]

on_ready part reads a file

[vale wing]

Prolly update presence or smth 😂 this is a weird case anyway

[slate swan]

because the event only gets fired on cache population

[slate swan]

so just do that in a separate command?

[gusty shard]

and that file stores every value

i have a command that deletes it

[slate swan]

What kind of value?

[gusty shard]

bot reads that file on on_ready

so when it restarts

[slate swan]

Is it a configuration file?

[gusty shard]

it will work with 0 value

wdym

[vale wing]

Make it read the file in a function and call the function in on_ready and anywhere you'd like to

That's the best method

[slate swan]

I would personally make a function to read that file and "store" the values and call it inside on_ready and wherever you need it to

[gusty shard]

anyway

[gusty shard]

that works and thats all i need

thank you

[slate swan]

Ah yes

[vale wing]

Ok but better rework it in the future

[slate swan]

Your code will eventually become a nightmare

[vale wing]

Cuz this method is cringe

[slate swan]

If you keep using stuff because it "works"

[gusty shard]

dude its just a bot

[slate swan]

Don't get defensive lmfao

[vale wing]

Guys suggest good slowmode delay for messages per 10 seconds rates

[slate swan]

I'm just saying the truth

[vale wing]

I am gonna make autoslowmode feature

But idk what values to put not to make it aids

[potent spear]

you probably want to see a doctor if that's the case

[vale wing]

Actually @slate swan is right

It's better to write the code in a correct way

Not to confuse yourself in the future

[gusty shard]

:/

[upbeat vigil]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
  if isinstance(error, CheckFailure):
    await ctx.send(embed = discord.Embed(title = f":no_entry_sign: You're missing permissions", color = 0x36393E)
    elif isinstance(error, CommandOnCooldown):
      await ctx.send(embed = discord.Embed(title = f":no_entry_sign: You're on cooldown", description = f"Please wait another   `{round(error.retry_after, 2)}` seconds", color = 0x36393E)
  elif not isinstance(error, CommandNotFound):
      await ctx.send(embed = discord.Embed(title = f":no_entry_sign: An error occurred", description = error, color = 0x36393E)```

the elif insistance line has a syntax error and i cant find it

kinda slow rn myb

[heavy shard]

elif is indented wrong

it should be at the same indentation level as if

[upbeat vigil]

yeah, i tried that and it still has a syntax error

[heavy shard]

first await ctx.send ... is missing one ) at the end

hmm all of them are

[warped mirage]

Guys can someone refer me to a warning system with add warns remove warns view warns tut or some tips

[slate swan]

Like? Python warnings or discord warnings?

If it's the latter I would recommend implementing them yourself

[brave forge]

how can I deduce an error if the participant has no roles ?

[slate swan]

ctx.author.roles == []?

wait no

len(ctx.author.roles) == 1

[spark wigeon]

simple question but how to get the channel id from which the user did a command from.

[slate swan]

ctx.channel

[spark wigeon]

oh no way

[slate swan]

.id

why did the people stop updating discord.py

[potent spear]

and now in english

[slate swan]

man i made 1 spelling error

[potent spear]

it's still in development

[slate swan]

i thought it was discontinued

[potent spear]

it was, the main developer changed his mind

so we back baby

[slate swan]

Oh

So i can learn this as an alternative to the other options?

[potent spear]

I'd prioritize that library tbh

At least, that's what I'm doing

Since (most) other libs are forks...

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.has_permissions(**perms)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member has all of
the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the
guild wide permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under
[`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions")...

[slate swan]

this will raise an error if the author does not have the perms, which you can handler using an error handler

@bot.command()
@commands.bot_has_permissions(*perms)
async def command(ctx, *args) -> None:
    ...

# using an on_command_error event
@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error) -> None
    if isinstance(error, commands.BotMissingPermissions):
      # do your stuff
      ...

# using a command specific handler
@command.error
async def name_me_anything(ctx, error) -> None:
    # same logic as above here
    ...

^

[potent spear]

don't forget the else

[terse coyote]

how to check if there is a role in a member's roles, and if the role is not in the member's roles?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note
that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’
role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[slate swan]

you can just do

if role in member_instance.roles:
    ...

role has to be a actual Role object!

[terse coyote]

how to check that this role is not in the member.roles?

[slate swan]

i wonder why a method like Member.has_role(Role) that returns bool isnt a method

[slate swan]

just use not

[terse coyote]

[heavy shard]

hmm there's Member.get_role(ROLE_ID) ... would return None if Member doesn't have such role

in d.py v2.0a at least

[slate swan]

ah cool

[heavy shard]

yes, it says "new in version 2.0"

[terse coyote]

omg seriously?! I have been searching for 2 hours for an answer to my question..... im very stupid last time

THX!!

[slate swan]

youre welcome❤️

[heavy shard]

is if X not in Y same as if not X in Y ? hmmm

[slate swan]

theyre both syntax correct?

yes

thought so

but 1 makes more sense imo

[heavy shard]

i always use the 1

[slate swan]

same

[uncut portal]

I prefer the second but both work

[slate swan]

the result is same but

if X not in Y ``` is checking if X is not in Y
```py
if not X in Y ``` is checking it "X in Y" is False ```

yeah

its just doing

if True:
    ...
if not True:
    ...

[uncut portal]

I prefer the second because it just fits nicer with the conversational use of not rather than just this off case where you can use it with the in operator

[slate swan]

*if False v/s if not True

are you automatically 'friends' with the bot when you share a server with it?

[slate swan]

wouldnt that return True as X isnt in Y?

[potent spear]

why would that matter? and no

[slate swan]

well,no
but bots always have their dms open

what's the point for bot.user.friends then?

thats pointless, thus removed in 2.0

its deprecated iirc

why did discord even add it?

[potent spear]

was only useful back when selfbots were supported

[slate swan]

@slate swan 👁️ 👁️

It was used for self-boting

[slate swan]

Oh that makes sense, so it's now unreachable I assume

[slate swan]

in that case it would be if True vs if not False as X in Y is false.

[slate swan]

yes, there are more user-bot relation related classes and functions removed which existed in 1.7.3 for self-boting purpose

Did discord actually support selfbots in the past?

it has been against tos from a long time, but since discord.py provided a complete api coverage it used to work

[slate swan]

right right

[slate swan]

this topic to be specific https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/migrating.html#removal-of-support-for-user-accounts

[slate swan]

was it ever allowed in the past?

i don't think so, though i may be wrong

someone who has been using disocrd api for a long time can answer this better than me

ah I see

[heavy shard]

my bot can't have friends? it will be so lonely... 😉

[slate swan]

🙏

[slate swan]

sadly no😔

so no friends for your bots😔

[terse coyote]

how to get all users with role mute?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

property members```
Returns all the members with this role.

[terse coyote]

idk how to realize it... sorry

[regal pulsar]

what

you just get the role object then do role.members

[slate swan]

well its a property that returns a list of members, which its a property of the Role class so you would need a Role object

well you tried to send the list which is a list of member objects!

What is the purpose for a server id if you can't join the server with it's id

[heavy shard]

try ", ".join([x.display_name for x in role.members])

[slate swan]

well the id for guilds is a unique snow flake to identify each guild

[slate swan]

could be done better

[heavy shard]

teach me, senpai 🙂

[slate swan]

But discord uses this information, it's not really needed for regular users?

[slate swan]

list(map(str,  Role.members))

🥰

[heavy shard]

sexy code ❤️

[slate swan]

Very

[slate swan]

well everything has a id for a reason and its for uniqueness

which is handy for allot of things like getting a specific entity!

Hm I see

How do I create an invite for a server? In d.py ofc

[zealous jay]

Hi, im trying to get all bans from a server but im getting an error, this is my code:

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[slate swan]

you forgot the async keyword

async for ban in interaction.guild.bans():
    ...

[zealous jay]

oh

i'll try that, thanks

it worked

[slate swan]

💓

[heavy shard]

so technically... you can't invite user to a guild, only to a channel in such guild?

[slate swan]

well kinda because you joined the guild yes but which channel exactly?

[heavy shard]

seems fair

[slate swan]

i forgot that discord needs a channel for each invite

because yes you joined but on which channel 😅

[slate swan]

So um guys

Im making a bot that has select on it

but when i select an option it says interaction failed

how to fix it?

[slate swan]

Can u show code

[ionic garden]

are discord.py user arguments always strings

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[heavy shard]

i don't think A or B in C is possible in python

!e print(8 or 9 in (3,4))

[unkempt canyon]

@heavy shard :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

8

[heavy shard]

result is always true

[slate swan]

Is there anyway to get the channel ID of a guild

[heavy shard]

which channel?

[slate swan]

like for example #discord-bots

[heavy shard]

by name?

[slate swan]

like it there a way for it to get the first channel of a guild

[torn sail]

guild.channels[0]

[slate swan]

this would get the id of the first channel within that guild?

[torn sail]

if would give u the channel object then you can use channel.id

[heavy shard]

first channel is the channel with channel.position = 0

[slate swan]

can I see an example response?

[torn sail]

channel = guild.channels[0]
channel.id

[heavy shard]

i just wonder if guild.channels[0] is always same as discord.utils.get(guild.channels, position=0)

[green bluff]

Ooh never knew discord.utils takes a position argument

[green bluff]

Given the circumstances I assume so

[heavy shard]

judging by source code, at least separate categories like text_channels are sorted by position

[jagged adder]

how do i make my bot so it can only receive inputs within a set channel within a server? i dont particularly want to hard-code it into the bot, as i want to have the ability to put the bot on 2 diff servers (one public one, and one private one for development testing

would that be something i would have to configure a role within that server? and if so, how can i say only see x channel, rather than putting every other channel to private?

[heavy shard]

i think this would work

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.channel.id == CHANNEL_ID:
        await bot.process_commands(message)

[jagged adder]

the issue is that is coding it into the bot, and kinda locks it from being able to be used anywhere else

thats how id interpret the above at least

correct me if im wrong

[heavy shard]

you want to alter the functionality of the bot without altering the bot source code?

[jagged adder]

i believe so...?

prefereably, id like to make it so the bot can be setup on any server, and then confined to a single channel

atm this would still work, as its only on 2 servers. i can just put an 'or' in there

having the flexibility is preferred, but by no means essential rn

[heavy shard]

i would give the server manager the ability to setup which channel it should be

like !bind-here used on the channel

[jagged adder]

i am the server manager, i just dont know to let it see only one channel lol

[jagged adder]

that would req something in the code wouldnt it?

to lock it to x channel using a command

[heavy shard]

of course, preferably databases

[jagged adder]

thats beyond me rn lol

still learning a lot

[jagged adder]

might try this with an 'or' in there then for now

to do that, how do i find a channel id?

[heavy shard]

you need to enable developer mode in "Advanced" in discord,
then, when you right click on the channel, there would be "copy id" option at the bottom

[jagged adder]

ah

ahh got it. ty!

[heavy shard]

mp

[jagged adder]

will leaving the developer toggle on have any other effects? or would u just leave on

[heavy shard]

i forgot about it and i've seen no weird behavior, but i'd look at the discord help web page to make sure

[jagged adder]

alrighty

ty

it says Unresolved Reference 'CHANNEL_ID'
do i need to import somethin so it recognises the term?

[heavy shard]

ah that 🙂 you need to replace it with real channel id

[jagged adder]

ohh

[heavy shard]

like 912784487632484

[slate swan]

you need to enter an actual Id there, that was just a pseudocode

[jagged adder]

i put it afterwards xd

bingo got it

ty

mm not workin, cant get rid of the various errors that r coming up lol

[heavy shard]

"bot" in @bot.event may be something else, depends how do you named your bot object, i.e. "client"

[jagged adder]

yeah i renamed that

[slate swan]

@client.command(aliases=['av', 'pfp'])
async def avatar(ctx, *,  memb : discord.Member=None):
    if memb == None:  
        memb = ctx.message.author 
    await ctx.message.delete()
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"{memb.name}'s Avatar!",description=f"Link: {memb.avatar_url}",color=0,timestamp=ctx.message.created_at)
    embed.set_image(url=memb.avatar_url)
    
    embed.set_footer(text="CREATED BY LUCIFER")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

anyone?

[tough lance]

What's the error?

[slate swan]

screenshot

no error

bot sending link

[tough lance]

Isn't it working fine?

[slate swan]

f"Link: {memb.avatar_url}" you added the url to the description...

[tough lance]

It would cuz there is a description Param in discord.Embed

[slate swan]

if thats what you mean

ok

[slate swan]

How can I make it only get the channel ids of channels available to everyone?

@slate swan you probably know how?

i do..., you need to check the permissions or overwrites for the @everyone role in that channel.

How would I do that?

!d discord.TextChannel.permissions_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.permissions\_for

permissions_for(obj, /)```
Handles permission resolution for the [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member")
or [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role").

This function takes into consideration the following cases...

[slate swan]

can I see an example, or pseudocode?

for everyone role object, you can do guild.get_role(guild.id)

[slate swan]

channels_i_need = []
for channel in all_channels:
   if channel.permissions_for(everyone_role).view_channel:
      channels_i_need.append(channel)
``` something like this

[slate swan]

could I do all_channels[0] to get the first unhidden channel

unhidden, no
the first channel, yes

How would I make it so It only gets the first unhidden channel

@slate swan hm?

help me pls

So i want to make a discord bot that auto delete a channel every 5 minutes and itll recreate the channel with a same message in it, also please make it with a link so i can use uptimerbot to ping it

[placid verge]

Well that's actually not possible :
The first problem is probably the ratelimit , means that if you recreate channels too often , will get your bot rate limited ( A Temp Ban )
The second one is that you can't copy messages to another channel in discord , that is not possible

[placid verge]

@client.command(aliases=['av', 'pfp'])
async def avatar(ctx, *,  memb : discord.Member=None):
    if memb == None:  
        memb = ctx.message.author 
    await ctx.message.delete()
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"{memb.name}'s Avatar!",description=f"Link: [Click Here]({memb.avatar_url})",color=0,timestamp=ctx.message.created_at)
    embed.set_image(url=memb.avatar_url)
    
    embed.set_footer(text="CREATED BY LUCIFER")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

This will change that link into a hyper link

#🤡help-banana @maiden fable you prob know

just check the channel the command was run in and compare it to a set id

if str(message.channel.id) == str(yourchannelid)
...

You may use discord.utils.find like this

channel = discord.utils.find(lambda x: x.permissions_for(guild.default_role).send_messages, guild.text_channels)```

!d discord.utils.find

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.find

discord.utils.find(predicate, iterable, /)```
A helper to return the first element found in the sequence
that meets the predicate. For example:

```py
member = discord.utils.find(lambda m: m.name == 'Mighty', channel.guild.members)

would find the first Member whose name is ‘Mighty’ and return it.
If an entry is not found, then None is returned...

[slate swan]

this would get the first unhidden channeL?

[vale wing]

The first channel you can send messages in

Change the lambda to whatever you need

[slate swan]

what would it be for the first one?

[vale wing]

Why casting to str

[vale wing]

It would get only the first one

[slate swan]

help me build someone?

[slate swan]

the lambda x?

[vale wing]

Lambda is an anonymous function

He doesn't mean nuking generally lol

[slate swan]

wdym is not nuking is auto deleting one single channel
