It's like deleting channel and recreating it

[slate swan]

ye

@vale wing how would I make it get the ID of the channel?

how do you make that

[vale wing]

@slate swan use @tasks.loop to create a loop and in loop just call clone method of channel object and then delete the original one

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with
optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[vale wing]

!d discord.TextChannel.clone

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.clone

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

Clones this channel. This creates a channel with the same properties
as this channel.

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

[slate swan]

?

[vale wing]

Just like you always do with the channel object

!d discord.TextChannel.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.id

The channel ID.

[vale wing]

OOP 😀

[slate swan]

o ok thanks

[slate swan]

so channel.id?

[vale wing]

Yes

[slate swan]

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

            if channel.permissions_for(channel.id).view_channel:

like that? @vale wing

[vale wing]

Um

Not really

[slate swan]

How then?

@vale wing

[slate swan]

"find" will return a single TextChannel object in this case in which your bot can send messages, so you dont need to check for permissions again

[slate swan]

so channel is already the ID now?

[slate swan]

channel is now a TextChannel object

!d discord.TextChannel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel

class discord.TextChannel```
Represents a Discord guild text channel...

[slate swan]

how can I make it the id?

[slate swan]

use the id property on channel

so just channel = channel.id ?

no

[keen mural]

how can i make it so if someone does a certain amount of cmds in a certain amount of time they get put on cooldown for a certain amount of time

[slate swan]

channel_id = channel.id

[slate swan]

why is channel_id?

[slate swan]

create your own cache?

[slate swan]

named it anything you want

[keen mural]

what is that

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html?#discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[slate swan]

i know its possible i dont know how but like is there a way to make a command that can only be triggered by like one person

[slate swan]

a temporary data load, that checks for the amount of cmds for a particular person and puts them on cooldown

[slate swan]

so it wont work for anyone but that one person

[keen mural]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount
of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based
either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis.
Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum
type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType")...

[slate swan]

its for a single command

it'll put a cooldown on a single command though

[vocal snow]

I interpreted "certain amount of cmds" as one command, multiple times

[keen mural]

thx

[slate swan]

What does this mean
AttributeError: 'Role' object has no attribute '_roles'

[paper sluice]

that 'Role' object has no attribute '_roles' ....

[slate swan]

meaning?

[paper sluice]

class.attribute

[slate swan]

does discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="everyone") get the ID for the @ everyone role?

@paper sluice ?

[heavy shard]

it should be "everyone" with "@" at the beginning

[azure scroll]

nope, just discord.py v2

[vale wing]

20th May

[visual island]

That will return a Role object, to get the id, simply use the .id attribute (also as rud0lf said, it should be @everyone with the @).

[slate swan]

you can also use the guild id lol

[slate swan]

wasnt it deprecated?

no?

iirc.

the everyone role uses the guilds id thats just how discord made it

f"<@{Guild.id}>"

e.g

why isnt this working

channel1 = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="@everyone")
channel_id = channel1.id

[heavy shard]

channel?

[slate swan]

?

[heavy shard]

shouldn't it be role1 = ...

[pallid meadow]

Guild.default_role

[slate swan]

wait im so dumb

[pallid meadow]

Unless you can fetch everyone role like that

[slate swan]

I needa get the channel not role id

how do I get the channel ID

[pallid meadow]

Umm

Well are you trying to hardcode this or

[slate swan]

yeah

I guess so

[pallid meadow]

Bc if so you can just copy the channel id from discord and use bot.get_channel(id)

[slate swan]

I want to get the first viewable channel

like from the @ everyone role ^

[pallid meadow]

Okay

[slate swan]

so the first channel that everyone can view then I want to get the channel ID of that channel

[pallid meadow]

You would then have to look at the permission overwrites for each channel

Check if the guilds default role is allowed in the channel

If it is then that’s the first viewable channel.

[slate swan]

How

[pallid meadow]

you need to get the guild object

Then you can get the channels with said guild object

[slate swan]

can I see some actual psudeocode

my brain is all over the place to visualize this

[pallid meadow]

I’m on mobile right now I can’t really type out code

[slate swan]

can you try? even if the indentation is wrong its all good

channel2 = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="@everyone")
channel1 = discord.utils.find(lambda x: x.permissions_for(channel2).send_messages, guild.text_channels)
            
channel_id = channel1.id

@heavy shard

[heavy shard]

it's okay, just change channel2 to role for readability

[slate swan]

still saying 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'roles'

[heavy shard]

guild is None? are you doing it in private message?

[slate swan]

nope

in a servers channel

[heavy shard]

is it in a command? can you show the code?

[warped mirage]

Guys can someone help me make a warning system tbf or refer me somewhere

[vale wing]

You get everyone role like this

[slate swan]

im so confused

[vale wing]

!d discord.Guild.default_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.default\_role

property default_role```
Gets the @everyone role that all members have by default.

[slate swan]

so I do name="default_role"

[vale wing]

ctx.guild.default_role

You want the first channel you can send the messages in right?

[slate swan]

Yes

[vale wing]

channel = discord.utils.find(lambda x: x.permissions_for(ctx.guild.default_role).read_messages, ctx.guild.text_channels)```
Kinda spoonfeeding but since you couldn't fully figure it out by yourself here it is

[slate swan]

I was so close

so is my channel2 no longer needed

[vale wing]

Yes

It's everyone role and you get it like I showed

[slate swan]

Wtf im still getting
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text_channels'

[vale wing]

You probably use it in DMs

[slate swan]

im not

[vale wing]

Do you have intents enabled

[slate swan]

are they needed?

[vale wing]

Default ones are I think

[warped mirage]

Guys any good warning systems ?

[vale wing]

!d discord.Intents.guilds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.guilds

Whether guild related events are enabled.

This corresponds to the following events...

[vale wing]

Just make a database with like target | assigned_by | reason | id fields

I don't think you need anything more

[slate swan]

now im getting Role' object has no attribute '_roles'

[vale wing]

Full traceback please

[slate swan]

im done with this

[vale wing]

That thing is fixable you probably mistyped something

[warped mirage]

Can u help me with it or guide me I guess

[slate swan]

its to late for this 🤣

[warped mirage]

I’m using a cog

[vale wing]

@warped mirage do yk how to use databases generally

[warped mirage]

Yes but no at the same time well it’s hard to explain . Do I use 1 database for entire bot ?

[vale wing]

Yes why not

[warped mirage]

I use aiosqlite for my levelling system .

[vale wing]

You can use it for warnings as well

Just create another table

[warped mirage]

The actual code tho tbf

Idk xd ima think about it

[vale wing]

You mean CREATE TABLE statement?

[warped mirage]

Nah the actual warning system with remove well everything

[vale wing]

Erm

The warnings system is in the same bot with the levelling system?

Doesn't really matter anyways just execute CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS

It is not a destructive action

[warped mirage]

I’m using a cog file atm so ima do basics I guess

[vale wing]

It doesn't really matter do you use cogs or not

[warped mirage]

Like I need the basic of the code

guys is this valid for py py guild_id : {member.id: [count, [(admin_id, reason)]]}

[desert heart]

Are you asking if it's syntactically valid Python code?

For that, you could just fire up an interpreter and try to execute the code to see if you get a syntax error or not.

[glad cradle]

not completely

[slate swan]

yes its valid

[warped mirage]

ok thank u

[placid skiff]

it's valid but it is not the proper way

[warped mirage]

ye its for my warning system

[placid skiff]

var: {type: [type, [(type, type)]]} this one is right, where type are the types of the variables, not the variables themself

[slate swan]

shifting back to using json files?

[placid skiff]

~~Nooo don't ask it ~~

[slate swan]

sqlite is hard, maybe?

[wet crystal]

Can someone explain what a converter is and does?
Im having a hard time understanding the docs since I am not native.

[placid skiff]

People who change from json to sqlite have a lot of problems

[placid skiff]

a converter is a way to convert the type of a variable into an another one, to work converters requires a context object, there are builtin converters which convert for example the id into a member or another discord object but btw their most utility are the custom converters

[slate swan]

well, I know

[slate swan]

24-hour clock 😭

[wet crystal]

Alright, Thanks
Also is their a way to send messages straight from the terminal?

[loud junco]

cuz its totally 2 different thing?

[loud junco]

STOP JUDGING 😭

[slate swan]

nah lol, sqlite not hard, at least at the base level

[loud junco]

but they dont even learn sql syntax

maybe thats why they are stuck

just like those pepo who dont even know print() and they want to build a discord bot

[slate swan]

whats even to learn, sigh there's just 4 main operations

[loud junco]

they dont even know any of them

[slate swan]

controversial

[loud junco]

LOL

but they are all gone from here now

when they realise its not as easy as importing random packages like what those hacker movie does

[heavy shard]

print("Hello", end=" World!")

[loud junco]

💀

but why 🤣

[slate swan]

movie hacking scenes are too inaccurate, they literally get a ui where they can see the hacked device's screen :awkward:

[loud junco]

my brain crashed after looking at that

[loud junco]

LOL

[heavy shard]

hint: deafault end is "\n"

[slate swan]

you tested it to make sure

[loud junco]

yes

my brain crashed

[slate swan]

sigh

[loud junco]

hint: just use ''' '''

tons of end is going to mess up everything

🤣

[loud junco]

wut...

!e
print(end=" World!")

[unkempt canyon]

@loud junco :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

 World!

[loud junco]

here u go

@uncut portal

[uncut portal]

Cheers, I probably typed it out wrong. I am on my phone

[loud junco]

LOL

writing codes on phone is just suffering

[heavy shard]

some people code their bots on a phone

[loud junco]

💀

[uncut portal]

Not me. Not me at all

[loud junco]

AHEM

[slate swan]

I pity them, I've tried it

and I swear it wasn't hard

[loud junco]

im sure u havent tried replit mobile

[uncut portal]

The keyboard is just clunky for symbols

[slate swan]

I have

[loud junco]

the whole typing sh!t just faks ur code up

[slate swan]

you just need practice

[loud junco]

it literally glitches the line to everywhere

and combine all the line together

[slate swan]

wdym

[loud junco]

for example:

line 1 will goes to the end of line 2 for no reason

and line 2 will merge with line 3 and 4 for no reason

[slate swan]

cant argue

it made indenting hard but it was fine overall

[loud junco]

and line 5 will be in middle of line 3 for no reason

[slate swan]

not really

[loud junco]

just by writing non-indenting code is already suffering enough

[slate swan]

non-indenting code....?

[loud junco]

that means

tons of print and process but without if statement and loop

[slate swan]

well

[loud junco]

idk what is it call

[placid skiff]

Bruh i spent last Friday tryin' to fix a problem and today I found that there was no problems but the encode I used to read the file was wrong

[loud junco]

🤣

[heavy shard]

"Roses are red, violets are blue, indented block expected, in line 22"

[wet crystal]

@bot.command()
async def joined(ctx, *, member: discord.Member):
    await ctx.send('{0} joined on {0.joined_at}'.format(member))

What is the " * " for?
(in "joined(ctx, *, member: discord.Member)"

[placid skiff]

I am so freakin blind
I could finish this project like Friday

[placid skiff]

bruh please use f-strings

[wet crystal]

bro its the offical discord docs 😭

[loud junco]

he is using formatted string without formatter

💀

[placid skiff]

well f-strings doesn't change the output

!d f-string

!f-string

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[placid skiff]

i did it lel

[wet crystal]

ik what f-strings are

im using them all the time

[loud junco]

then use them =.=

[wet crystal]

but what is the * for?

[wet crystal]

THE CODE IS FROMN THE DISCORD DOCS I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT * STANDS FOR

[visual island]

It's basically taking all arguments after the command name, for example, !joined @user test, it would take @user test, not just @user.

[loud junco]

its for tape and cds

[visual island]

But note that if you type !joined @user test, it will raise MemberNotFound, as discord.py could not convert @user test to an existing member. So, it's better if you don't include the * (except for member nicknames that contains space in it).

[wet crystal]

Alright, thanks

but why did they show code that returns a error in the docs?

[visual island]

It returns an error for specific cases only, if you try to do !joined @user and @user is a valid mention, it will work.

[wet crystal]

👍

why would I need to do this

await ctx.send(embed=embed)

couldnt I just do this

await ctx.send(embed)

If not, why?

[fleet timber]

!f-variable

!f-variables

[wet crystal]

try for commands in #bot-commands

[fleet timber]

ok

[heavy shard]

ctx.send(embed) will try to send a text, embed=embed says you want to send an embed
if you want to know details, google for "python positional and keyword arguments"

[wet crystal]

Thanks

[slate swan]

use !f-strings in #bot-commands and dont use this channel for those

[slate swan]

!kwargs

[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

[fleet timber]

yeah ok i got it

[terse coyote]

how many id can be written in commands.has_role()

?

[slate swan]

as many you want

[slate swan]

as many as you want

slow 😔

[wet crystal]

Why is every "code a discord bot in python" tutorial using

@client.event
async def ...():
if ...:
  await message.send(...)
elif ...
  ...

instead of

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

Is there a major difference?

[slate swan]

they are outdated, using on_message for making commands is bad.

and not every "code a discord bot in python" is using that, even the worst ones use @bot.command

[paper sluice]

u also need to call command :p

[slate swan]

while tutorials:

[loud junco]

we dont talk about that

[slate swan]

im kinda curious to see whats inside

[wet crystal]

open it then

[slate swan]

ohmi god, thanks

[wet crystal]

np im always there to help

[loud junco]

🤣

[slate swan]

and I'm seriously scarred...

[heavy shard]

maybe 6 minutes of that time are ads

[loud junco]

scarred

[slate swan]

LMAO

he just said, "ctx equals to commands.Context" and typehinted ctx using colons

😭

[loud junco]

:D

looks like what they do

[slate swan]

skip to the end of the video and click reply, and then no ads, and the time aint shown for ads

[loud junco]

LOL

i still remember doing this

[light violet]

how to get text input in discord py ui

[desert cosmos]

how do we handle already connected to a channel ?

[slate swan]

which library?

[light violet]

discord py

[loud junco]

ui and discord.py??

[light violet]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

you could check if the client is connected to a voice channel using the is_connected method on the VoiceClient

[light violet]

disnake would also work

[slate swan]

!d discord.VoiceClient.is_connected

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceClient.is\_connected

is_connected()```
Indicates if the voice client is connected to voice.

[light violet]

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.ui.TextInput

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.Textinput

[unkempt canyon]

Naw.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

wait uhhh, typos

!d discord.ui.TextInput

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.TextInput

class discord.ui.TextInput(*, label, style=<TextStyle.short: 1>, custom_id=..., placeholder=None, default=None, required=True, min_length=None, max_length=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI text input.

str(x)
Returns the value of the text input or an empty string if the value is `None`...

[slate swan]

why does everybody get mad at discord for such reasons lmao

[loud junco]

because they hate everything in existence 🤣

[slate swan]

interesting

[wet crystal]

but this guy is actually making good or atleast helpful tutorials

[slate swan]

cant say bad, but they are usable at the least....

I randomly clicked on an aiosqlite video of his, and......imagine connecting to the db every command

[heavy shard]

i prefer written tutorials :S

[slim crag]

how can my bot send a message every time it enters a discord server;

[desert cosmos]

thanks

[dim sentinel]

I actually need a reliable tutorial explaining discord.py

actually i can't understand what's written in docs

so any reliable vid?

[loud junco]

!source

[unkempt canyon]

Bot's GitHub Repository

Repository

Go to GitHub

[wet crystal]

connecting to the db?

whats that mean

[uncut portal]

Depends on the content for me really, when I want to learn anything about rust I would always prefer to go for the rust book over some YouTube tutorial however for python because everything is so over the places and there is nothing created by the python organisation I will either read a realpython article or watch a YouTube video

[wet crystal]

Haha I feel you.
Actually just read the docs and then watch some useless tutorials and recreate them so you get understand the things a bit mora nad what they do.
and then just repeat

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/onozuviyaw Can someone help me plz

[dim sentinel]

I mean I dont even understand what async means TwT

Is that something I am supposed to understand beforehand?

How to only respond to messages in dms

[dim sentinel]

aww man

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_guild_join is the event then

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_join

discord.on_guild_join(guild)```
Called when a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") is either created by the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") or when the
[`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") joins a guild.

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

[wet crystal]

.

@dim sentinel

[slate swan]

connecting to the file, as in connect("uwu.db")

[dim sentinel]

ooooh

thankssssss

[slate swan]

[wet crystal]

no problem i asked the same question so i might aswell just give you the sam answer

[sullen pewter]

How to only respond to messages in dms

[wet crystal]

be more specific

[dim sentinel]

so are you understanding the docs now?

[slate swan]

check if the channel is a private channel, in essence, a dm

!d discord.ChannelType.private

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ChannelType.private

A private text channel. Also called a direct message.

[wet crystal]

oh hell no,
I feel like a illiterate

[dim sentinel]

aww man

[slate swan]

if isinstance(current_channel_obj, discord.ChannelType.private):
      ...```

[sullen pewter]

But private

Is not dms

[slate swan]

are docs really hard to read...?

[sullen pewter]

right?

[scarlet spear]

OH HEY SOMEONE HELP ME

[slate swan]

then must have described your issue more

[sullen pewter]

!nickname in dms
bot's response: shut up in dms

[slate swan]

you dont call event

[wet crystal]

if you're 14 and not native, yes

[paper sluice]

remove the parens

[scarlet spear]

I tried deleting the message, but the discord bot did not send embed in log the channel

[dim sentinel]

I feel this.

[scarlet spear]

what?

[paper sluice]

you will get used to it :)

[slate swan]

yeah i told you the solution then

[paper sluice]

its .event not .event()

[scarlet spear]

then what do I call it

[slate swan]

cope
its fine, you'll get better

[scarlet spear]

oooh thanks, now it didn't raise any error

WAIT

it's the same, I tried deleting the message, but the bot did not send any embed to the log channel

[wet crystal]

yeah, thankfully I am pretty good/decent speaking and reading english.
Otherwise i'd be &$§/"?

[scarlet spear]

it didn't raise any error as well

[slender night]

What do you want?

[scarlet spear]

here

[scarlet spear]

this

[sullen pewter]

How should I implement it?

[scarlet spear]

it didn't raise any error as well

[slate swan]

ohmi god, thats too complicated than it should be

[slender night]

So message deletion logs?

[scarlet spear]

yes

[loud junco]

💫
😵

[slim crag]

@slate swan thanks

[scarlet spear]

I made a test server u can come and help me

[paper sluice]

class Channels:
  manager_report = ChannelGetter(978183282824986655)
  mod_report = ChannelGetter(978166822027292702)
  helper_report = ChannelGetter(978168038505476116)

this doesn't really return the channel object....

[slate swan]

#discord-bots message

[paper sluice]

so it wont send message

[slate swan]

what did I do....

[scarlet spear]

but it does work for the "-clear" function, just not the delete message log

[slender night]

@scarlet spear there is a on_message_delete event in dpy.

[scarlet spear]

wehat's dpy and what does that mean?

[slender night]

What library are you using?

[slate swan]

thats what is being used....

[slender night]

Oh ok let me see the code

[scarlet spear]

I dono't get it, can u please help me solve the problem

[paper sluice]

because ctx.channel returns the channel object, Channels.manager_report doesn't

[scarlet spear]

ooh, then how should I change it?

[slender night]

Why are you using ChannelGetter class when you can just do await client.get_channel()?

[scarlet spear]

WHAT

[slender night]

...

[scarlet spear]

MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE

[slate swan]

poor ryuga

[paper sluice]

remove that class, its not necessary just do var = client.get_channel(id)

[sullen pewter]

TY

[scarlet spear]

I WROTE THAT FOR 1 HOUR AND I CAN JUST WRITE THAT

HEY WHAT THE

[slender night]

You can just do:

channel = await client.get_channel(<id>)

Lol

[sullen pewter]

Are you following a tutorial

[paper sluice]

wait it a coro in 1.7?

[sullen pewter]

If it was lucas your code is a mistake

[slender night]

Wdym?

[sullen pewter]

Start from python basics

[paper sluice]

was get channel a coroutine in discord.py 1.7

[wet crystal]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = "Token"

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='*')
client = discord.Client()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{client} has booted up succesfully!')

@bot.command()
async def vouch(ctx):
    embed=discord.Embed(
        title="Thats the title", description="This is the description", color=0x45b6fe
    )
    channel = bot.get_channel("my channel id")
    await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)
    
bot.run(TOKEN)

why doesnt this send the embed to the choosen cahnnel?

[sullen pewter]

Learn OOP

[paper sluice]

just do ctx.send

[slender night]

IDK if I said something wrong but I just use disnake.py.

[slim crag]

this

[wet crystal]

but i want to send it to a diffrent channel

not the 1 where i commanded in

[slender night]

!d discord.on_message_delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message\_delete

discord.on_message_delete(message)```
Called when a message is deleted. If the message is not found in the
internal message cache, then this event will not be called.
Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old
or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

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

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

[scarlet spear]

now this doesn't work

[sullen pewter]

Use VS code

[sullen pewter]

Learn python basics

[paper sluice]

then go channel = bot.get_channel(id) and channel.send(...)

[slender night]

Try removing await.

[scarlet spear]

I find it very offensive

[slender night]

Can you show me your code

[wet crystal]

so no ctx?

[paper sluice]

hes not wrong, discord bots are not for beginners

[paper sluice]

ctx.channel returns the channel from which the command was called, like if i called a command here ctx.channel would return this channel ( #discord-bots )

[sullen pewter]

The truth hurts, but silence kills

[scarlet spear]

I learned python for 1 year

[slender night]

Time doesn't matter.

[scarlet spear]

I wrote 700 lines of code

and I even write code for schools

[slender night]

It doesn't matter.

[sullen pewter]

Lines don't matter

[wet crystal]

ohhh
i forgot about that

[slender night]

Concepts matter

[scarlet spear]

and I'm 14 years old too

[slender night]

😂

[sullen pewter]

age doesn't matter

[slender night]

How dos that matter?

[sullen pewter]

My grandpa writes code he's 78

i learnt python for 3 years and still go back to basic
its called not being ego

[scarlet spear]

help me first pelase this is urgent

my project must be done within this week

[sullen pewter]

tru

[slender night]

You can't use this outside a function.

Get the channel inside of a function and use await.

[cloud dawn]

I know manager_report is None since the bot hasn't even started yet and it gets defined.

[wet crystal]

also why does it print this when on_ready

<discord.client.Client object at 0x000002B998F6E560> has booted up succesfully!

[slender night]

@scarlet spear this should work.

[slender night]

Maybe you put it yourself.

[supple thorn]

Not being ego?

[cloud dawn]

Because you print format the object.

[loud junco]

we dont talk about that
its just excuses for me for being weak in basic

[scarlet spear]

ok now the clear functions work, but the delete message log doesn't work, it didn't show any error as well

Red square in the top should do it.

Shutdown pc

[loud junco]

💀

[sullen pewter]

closing the terminal doesn't stop the bot

[supple thorn]

Cut your power

why cokecane

and what is !sf

[wet crystal]

it makes me feel funny

[slate swan]

sf means snowflake

[loud junco]

huh

[slate swan]

you can get the creation datetime of a object using its snowflake ( i.e. its ID)

[loud junco]

everytime they win they go HEHEHEHA
its not funny

[loud junco]

oo

if you dont use this app for one year, I will remove you from this entire database that you will never be able to join again or create again. If you try to use an alt to create, I will get your ip and ip ban you

[dull terrace]

can i get some mod controls to ip ban you hydro

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/onozuviyaw Can someone help me plz

[loud junco]

hmmm why

[paper sluice]

try .cogs

[loud junco]

is there free hosting that u dont get rate limited

except hosting with pc

[cloud dawn]

I think the only bot that doesn't have ratelimit is Clyde.

[loud junco]

?

[cloud dawn]

Well you asked for a hosting that doesn't have ratelimit.

That just doesn't exist.

[loud junco]

but clyde is a bot

[loud junco]

LOL ok

u will get rate limited even on vps?

[cloud dawn]

Well yeah depending on what you are doing

[dusky pine]

every bot will get rate limited

it isn't even related to bots; it's the API

[slate swan]

I'm creating a slash command, and once the bot is started, is it possible to change the choices in an argument in a command?

[loud junco]

oo

how rate limited works tho

[dusky pine]

if you send many requests to the API, it won't let you use it for a certain amount of time

[sullen pewter]

nickname = input()
print(nickname)```
How to do this in dpy

[dusky pine]

you want the user's nickname?

[loud junco]

he wants input

[sullen pewter]

yes

[dusky pine]

like, ask the user and wait for a response?

[loud junco]

btw its print(nickname)

[sullen pewter]

like
nickname:lil s

[loud junco]

AHEM

[sullen pewter]

oh ye

yes

[sullen pewter]

^

[loud junco]

i also want to know this

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[loud junco]

ya

[slate swan]

What's the best way of reloading a slash command without restarting the bot?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message,
or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained
way...

[loud junco]

restart the bot

[slate swan]

use cogs

[sullen pewter]

!sync

[slate swan]

I am using cogs

[sullen pewter]

@client.command()
async def sync(ctx):
  await client.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=844747238445023242))
  await ctx.message.delete()
  print("Synced!")```

[dull terrace]

Does waiting for verification stop bot invites if you hit 100 if you need none of the intents?

[sullen pewter]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

What does that do?

[slate swan]

and what library?

[sullen pewter]

It updates slash commands

[sullen pewter]

prob dpy 2.0

[slate swan]

Pycord

if its discord-py-slash-comamnds im out

alright, lemme see the docs

[dull terrace]

My bot is at 85 servers after 7 days and im pretty sure it's gonna hit 100 before they get back to me with verification

[sullen pewter]

How can I make it work after bot sends message

like:

bot: What would you like your nickname to be?
user: nickname

[slate swan]

reload the cog, and use this https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Bot.sync_commands

[sullen pewter]

what's the verification

[slate swan]

click on the link it has an example iirc

[slate swan]

Do I need to do both?

[jade tartan]

Didnt work

[slate swan]

reloading the cog may not sync it with disocrd, so better do it

every Library has its own way of doing this so idk, Haven't used pycord/any discord.py related library in months

[sullen pewter]

how to make it only get nicknames after bot's message

[slate swan]

But if I do sync_commands do I have to reload the cog too?

[slate swan]

did you see the examples?

[sullen pewter]

yes

seen them 5+ times

[slate swan]

how else would the bot know what changes did you make

[slate swan]

and what do you not understand?

[sullen pewter]

I just want bot to get users nickname after bot sends a message but if the bot doesn't the command won't work

[slate swan]

well

[sullen pewter]

Is it impossible?

[slate swan]

try :
   event = await bot.wait_for("event name")
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
    # the event was not triggered
``` you recieve messages with on_message event so "message" would be the event name here

[sullen pewter]

ty

[slate swan]

await commands.sync_commands(["MyCommand"])
await commands.reload_extension("MyCog")
```Ìs this right if I want to reload one command?

no

[dull terrace]

My bot already got verified like 20 mins after i submitted request

love discord

[loud junco]

LOL

i still need to wait for another 7 months

[slate swan]

reload the cog first, then use commandw.sync_comammds, which takes ApplicationCommand objects as arg

[dull terrace]

they must prioritise based on growth speed

[slate swan]

congratulations 🥳

[dull terrace]

[loud junco]

im 16 but im december boi

[paper sluice]

[dull terrace]

[dusky pine]

ion see it

[slate swan]

[dull terrace]

does that not show?

[dusky pine]

no not for me

lemme refresh

[dull terrace]

weird

[dusky pine]

still doesn't show

[loud junco]

i cant

[loud junco]

[loud junco]

verify for bot btw

[slate swan]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500006788922-Bot-Verification-FAQ-for-Parents-Legal-Guardians-and-Other-Sponsors

[loud junco]

now my bot is in 100 server

im technically not 16 yet

[slate swan]

read whats below it....

If you got some trustable friend who's older than 16 you can transfer the ownership to them and they can verify

[robust fulcrum]

Guys do anyone know how can we use perresoctive api in discord. Py
There is no tutorial so i asking here

[shrewd apex]

u want to auto mod ur channels?

[loud junco]

i dont trust other human

[slate swan]

well then grow up

[robust fulcrum]

Ye

[loud junco]

waiting for 7 months

[shrewd apex]

so which part do u not understand

[robust fulcrum]

I made a client event on message
So me not understand how can I use aiohttp in sending request to api

[flint isle]

what are the messages that are hidden to other users and are just one user called again

[placid skiff]

uhm do you mean ephemeral message?

[flint isle]

yes lmao. can you call the disnake doc using the bot?

[robust fulcrum]

Do message components work in ctx?

[flint isle]

what components do you mean

[placid skiff]

!d disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction.send

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction.send

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

Sends a message using either [`response.send_message`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.InteractionResponse.send_message "disnake.InteractionResponse.send_message") or [`followup.send`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Webhook.send "disnake.Webhook.send").

If the interaction hasn’t been responded to yet, this method will call [`response.send_message`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.InteractionResponse.send_message "disnake.InteractionResponse.send_message"). Otherwise, it will call [`followup.send`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Webhook.send "disnake.Webhook.send").

Note

This method does not return a [`Message`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Message "disnake.Message") object. If you need a message object, use [`original_message()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction.original_message "disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction.original_message") to fetch it, or use [`followup.send`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Webhook.send "disnake.Webhook.send") directly instead of this method if you’re sending a followup message.

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.InteractionResponse.send\_message

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[flint isle]

could i use ctx or should i switch to interaction?

um... i added another slash command to my disnake bot and all of the slash commands dissapeared

[slate swan]

Lol tell the age above 16

[quaint epoch]

rip

im 13

[slate swan]

I'm 14

[quaint epoch]

don't tell anyone, but i made a discord account, 7 days before my b day on Oct 21st where i turned 13

shhhh

[flint isle]

im 18 now lol

[slate swan]

Don't tell anyone I started discord 2 years ago

[trail agate]

[flint isle]

how can i kill a bot instance thats on my other system since im not home rn

[scarlet spear]

ashley

are u the ashley in my class?

I didn't know u have discord

u said u only use iMessage

[robust fulcrum]

Guys can anyone help me make that bot deletes bad words using perresoctive api
Pls help

[jagged adder]

hiya yall, im currently trying to work out how to run different instances of my bot on 2 diff servers. ie, so inputs on one wont interact with story progression on the other server. any help would be much appreciated!

[flint isle]

sharding might be what your looking for

[maiden fable]

Imagine

[flint isle]

but dont ask me XD cause idk how it works or how to

[jagged adder]

from what i could find sharding is usually only necessary for large numbers of servers (or guilds i think is the other name for servers)

[jagged adder]

ahah no probs

if anyone here knows about creating multiple instances of a bot that run independent of each other on different servers, some help/experience would be much appreciated

[maiden fable]

Auto sharded bot

[jagged adder]

so i will need to set up sharding?

[slate swan]

"auto" 🚶‍♂️

[maiden fable]

Just change commands.Bot to commands.AutoShardedBot

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot

class discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
This is similar to [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") except that it is inherited from
[`discord.AutoShardedClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AutoShardedClient "discord.AutoShardedClient") instead.

[slate swan]

use this class... as hunter said

[flint isle]

umm... its breaking all my stuff lmao

[maiden fable]

Stop button....?

[slate swan]

do you have jishaku or something?

[flint isle]

nope never heard of it

[slate swan]

or just reset the token ;-;

[maiden fable]

If u use an eval, just do !eval exit()

[jagged adder]

alr ill take a look

[slate swan]

yea, wont have to make any necessary changes, None of your code breaks

[flint isle]

i dont use eval :/

[maiden fable]

Reset the token @flint isle

[slate swan]

@flint isle

[flint isle]

ok lmao

hmm how do i add eval while im at it?

[slate swan]

for me, i use jishaku
its a discord.py debugging extension

!pip jishaku

[unkempt canyon]

jishaku v2.5.0

A discord.py extension including useful tools for bot development and debugging.

[cloud dawn]

!e exit()

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
003 | NameError: name 'exit' is not defined

[slate swan]

sys.exit() 🚶‍♂️

[flint isle]

hmm would that break if i use disnake...

[jagged adder]

so how do i go about adding this into the code... which part is actually needed and where?

[slate swan]

!pip disnake-jishaku xd

[unkempt canyon]

disnake-jishaku v2.6.5

A disnake extension including useful tools for bot development and debugging.

[slate swan]

just change your commands.Bot to commands.AutoShardedBot, thats it

[jagged adder]

soz for what might seem obvious lol

ah ok

[minor totem]

I think this issue is because of a poor management of state, rather than some issue with the Discord library you use. Sharding is not what you're looking for to rid this issue.

[slate swan]

oh i didnt see that message, that has something to with blocking functions

[cloud dawn]

Most likely the result of the fact it's hard coded.

[slate swan]

!blocking @jagged adder

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

[minor totem]

This is not an issue with blocking either

[flint isle]

lol i had issues with multiple bot instances because apparently i accadentally deleted my logoff command

[jagged adder]

so ... are you saying sharding wont create a seperate instance of the bot in server #2?

[minor totem]

It might, it might not, it depends on how discord.py decides to create the shards.

[jagged adder]

or that creating a seperate instance wont fix the issue of the code pulling inputs from server 1

[minor totem]

Sharding is not about several bot instances, it's about several connections. If you have a variable you store on the cog, that will still be shared.

[ripe blaze]

I know it may be a dumb question, but do I need to register app commands?

[minor totem]

Which library are you using?

[ripe blaze]

discordpy

[green bluff]

2.0?

[ripe blaze]

yeah

[cloud dawn]

Every app commands need to be "registered" it's called syncing.

[minor totem]

Then yes, you need to sync the command tree

[green bluff]

You would have to use the tree.sync attribute of client / bot

[cloud dawn]

You only need to manually sync with dpy other forks have auto syncing.

[green bluff]

But itd usually be better using discord.py itself

because forks are more complicated to learn and the help you can receive is minimal

[minor totem]

I'd disagree?

[cloud dawn]

With how it's currently setup, and explained I won't blame anyone for using a more clear library like disnake or nextcord.

[maiden fable]

!d exit

[unkempt canyon]

exit

quit(code=None)``````py

exit(code=None)```
Objects that when printed, print a message like “Use quit() or Ctrl-D
(i.e. EOF) to exit”, and when called, raise [`SystemExit`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#SystemExit "SystemExit") with the
specified exit code.

[cloud dawn]

Forks here have a great coverage of people who can help, personally I can help with disnake, nextcord, pycord and dpy. But I don't help anyone using an extension to dpy 1.7.3 since those are pretty bad.

[forest parcel]

Ok I'm making a discord bot message that tells the numbers in a users message if it starts with %ecofnum. Now whenever I type something like "%ecofnum 22". The bot stutters. What I mean is the bot says 2 and then 22. Here's the code:

[robust fulcrum]

   if age1 > 18:
                age2 = adult
        else age2 = adolscent

Guys i am getting an error will anyone help me fix?

[cloud dawn]

!indention

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[ripe blaze]

   if age1 > 18:
      age2 = adult
   else: 
      age2 = adolscent

[minor totem]

Ask in #python-discussion or see #❓｜how-to-get-help. Not at all problems you encounter when writing a Discord bot, has to do with the Discord API!

[cloud dawn]

Well true since, first iteration "2" then "2" + "2" == 22

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/demexafili How to add a role to the user automatically?

[minor totem]

That's because there is a loop, what do you expect to happen?

[jade tartan]

or assign automatic roles

to the user

[forest parcel]

i expect it to only say the number once

[minor totem]

Is that not what the code does?

[cloud dawn]

But you loop over the string.

[minor totem]

Yeah why is there a loop haha

[jade tartan]

Yeah but am not too sure how do i mention the role to give to the user?

[cloud dawn]

Let me visualize it for you.

[jade tartan]

Do i need to use discord utils?

[wraith lion]

hello do anyone know any meme api

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
content = "%ecofnum 22"
string = ""

for x in content:
if x.isdigit():
print(f"Found {x}, appending to content")
string = string + x
print(string)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | Found 2, appending to content
002 | 2
003 | Found 2, appending to content
004 | 22

[wraith lion]

!e print("hello world")

[unkempt canyon]

@wraith lion :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

hello world

[forest parcel]

wait

[cloud dawn]

@forest parcelWith this visualization, do you see why it says 2 then 22?

[green bluff]

API information in general can be retrieved by either using aiohttp(async) and requests (synchronous), maybe look up some documentation on this

[forest parcel]

er yes, im a bit new to python, wait lemme open some similar code in pycharm

[cloud dawn]

A lot of people just use reddit.

[wraith lion]

oh.

[forest parcel]

but

i just reused this code for discord

[cloud dawn]

Yeah since you print it afterwards.

[cloud dawn]

Here the send is inside the for loop.

[forest parcel]

FINALLY I GET IT

thnx it works now

[cloud dawn]

👍

[forest parcel]

now time to add strings to the send message

[cloud dawn]

🥳

[green bluff]

Ah the satisfaction of helping :D

[loud junco]

anyone wanna try my bot?

[dusky pine]

sure

[loud junco]

join the server
its in my bio

[forest parcel]

uh oh

[loud junco]

nono

remove the %

[cloud dawn]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[dusky pine]

can u dm me the link, I can't see bios for some reason

[loud junco]

:D

[green bluff]

^^ f strings are recommended but you could also just add the strings (very time consuming)

[loud junco]

u need f in front of ' '

[loud junco]

its a BIG NO for using strings and variable together without formatter

[green bluff]

?

Yeah its just a bad practice

[cloud dawn]

print even allows seperation by comma.

[green bluff]

Really?

[cloud dawn]

!e print("Hello world", ":)")

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Hello world :)

[slate swan]

How to reload a single command using sync_commands?

[green bluff]

That’s new

[cloud dawn]

It's not, it's because of the *

[slate swan]

pass in that commands' object...

[slate swan]

commands = [MyCommand()]?

[green bluff]

New to me haha

[slate swan]

no, use get_application_command to get its object, then pass it in the sync_commands

Ah

[cloud dawn]

You don't really need to "reload" a command. Re-syncing only will update things like the name, input types, description etc, it won't update the code underneath.

[slate swan]

🚶‍♂️ yea, i asked them to reload the cog first

[slate swan]

I only want to update the input types

[cloud dawn]

Yeah okay.

[slate swan]

then you gotta reload the cog and sync too

[slate swan]

            await self.client.sync_commands(command = the_com)
            await self.client.reload_extension(StaffCog())
```Ìsn't that right?

[cloud dawn]

Tbh i just restart my script, I use Client.

[slate swan]

you need to reload first~

[cloud dawn]

nah doesn't matter.

[slate swan]

and your args arent correct

[slate swan]

why not, the changes are still unstated!?

[slate swan]

what of them are wrong

[cloud dawn]

It doesn't matter since the sync is only the meta data.

Let's see "slash" commands as a placeholder.

[slate swan]

how would the bot know that what changes have been made?

the command state is still at the old one

[cloud dawn]

It doesn't need to.

[slate swan]

and they are not restarting the bot*

[cloud dawn]

No since it's reloaded afterwards.

You can change the code and not re-sync the commands.

Since they aren't related. If you change any args/ kwargs/ names/ descriptions however you need to re-sync.

[slate swan]

# before
@commands.slash_command()
async def command(ctx, arg: str):
  ...
# after
@commands.slash_command()
async def command(ctx, arg: discord.Member):
  ...
``` so you can simply sync the bot app commands before loading the #after part?

[cloud dawn]

No, not with this configuration.

[slate swan]

channels, member and role typehints need to be pushed, since discord provides a UI autocomplete for them from its side ;-;

which is different from other args

[cloud dawn]

That's why slash is very gut, but they still need to add extra typehints.

Allow regex.

[slate swan]

a channel typehint for instance

[cloud dawn]

We. Want. Regex

Imagine how small bots can be if you could pass regex for input checking...

[vocal plover]

issue with regex is that it can be massively cpu intensive

but yeah it would be nice to have

[cloud dawn]

Yep.

[dusky pine]

vcokltfre u havent changed your status

[cloud dawn]

Not that many people will use regex.

[dusky pine]

in like a year, it's still that log thing

[cloud dawn]

Mine's pretty solid year as well.

[cloud dawn]

Are you around 37?

Had to check sorry.

[robust fulcrum]

Anyone here know how to add buttons to message in discord.py?

I tried many tutorials but they not worked

[potent spear]

if you tried tutorials through YT, then that's obvious

[stray carbon]

is there the event in nextcord
on_slash_command or on_command is for slash cmds too?

[vale wing]

Check examples on discord.py repo

[slate swan]

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

[vale wing]

And make sure you have 2.0 installed

[jagged adder]

i want to have a class of 'items' which are basically set to true or false statements. how would i go about printing only those shown as true as a line of text? suspect it has something to do with string but could use some help

[vale wing]

!e

a = True
print("yes" if a else "no")```

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

yes

[vale wing]

This?

[potent spear]

seems more like a list comprehension issue to me

[shit for shit in shitlist if shit]

[jagged adder]

im trying to create an 'inventory' of sorts, where i have the items in said inventory and only print those which are active at the time

[vale wing]

Well I couldn't understand from his explanation

[potent spear]

list comp it seems

[vale wing]

Yes

[cloud dawn]

So I'd image you have a 2d array.

[oblique laurel]

Best explanation ive seen in a while

[jagged adder]

wdym?

[potent spear]

9/10 of my code examples contain code like that

[oblique laurel]

Lol

[vale wing]

You want to filter out the items that are active and convert the list to string or smth

[oblique laurel]

Would the data need to be stored permanently? Id assume youd want a database
