[vale wing]

I rewrote my bot like twice

First from pickle to sqlite

Then from sqlite to asyncpg

Now third time to rewrite it to slash commands

😩

[maiden fable]

Lmao

BTW @vale wing how to specify the tz in datetime.now()?

[vale wing]

Eh wait haven't done that in a while

[maiden fable]

Like if I wanna specify IST

[sullen pewter]

Does anyone know what's wrong in this code

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    button = Button(label = 'Write an introduction', style = discord.ButtonStyle.green)

    async def button_callback(interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await member.send('What would you like your nickname to be? (32 character max)')
        
        async def on_message(message):    
            try:
                message = await client.wait_for("message", check=lambda m: m.content == m.channel == message.channel)
            except asyncio.Timeout.Error:
                await member.send('You took too much to respond.')
            
            else:
                if len(message).content <= 32:
                    await member.send(f'Nickname set to {message}!')
                else:
                    await member.send('Something went wrong please try again.')


    view = View()
    button.callback = button_callback
    view.add_item(button)

    await member.send(f'Welcome to the server {member.mention}! Use the button below to make an introduction and get access to the server.', view = view)

[placid skiff]

it depends on what problems you have

[sullen pewter]

There are no errors

[vale wing]

!d datetime.timezone @maiden fable probably make an object of this

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timezone

class datetime.timezone(offset, name=None)```
The *offset* argument must be specified as a [`timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "datetime.timedelta") object representing the difference between the local time and UTC. It must be strictly between `-timedelta(hours=24)` and `timedelta(hours=24)`, otherwise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "ValueError") is raised.

The *name* argument is optional. If specified it must be a string that will be used as the value returned by the [`datetime.tzname()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.tzname "datetime.datetime.tzname") method.

New in version 3.2.

Changed in version 3.7: The UTC offset is not restricted to a whole number of minutes.

[sullen pewter]

It's not responding when I send a message

@placid skiff

[maiden fable]

Oh okay thanks

[placid skiff]

do you have any other on_message event in your code?

[warped mirage]

can someone help me fix this

[vale wing]

button_callback must have 2 args: the button itself and the interaction

[placid skiff]

And have you enabled message contents intent?

[vale wing]

Also bad method to assign callback

[sullen pewter]

no

[sullen pewter]

yes

[vale wing]

@sullen pewter

[placid skiff]

this too, fix it

[vale wing]

And you get no errors because of improper error handler most likely

[light violet]

how do i get the id or the person authorizing my bot

[vale wing]

It must raise unhandled errors

[light violet]

how do i get it pls help

[vale wing]

Authorizing your bot? What

[sullen pewter]

where

[vale wing]

Yours has only interaction

[sullen pewter]

yes

[vale wing]

It must also have self

[sullen pewter]

It's not a cog

[vale wing]

The button

[light violet]

it want the id of the person authorizig my bot

[vale wing]

That's why you should subclass views and not do it like this

[sullen pewter]

idk how to do that

[vale wing]

Do you think that self should only be in cogs

[sullen pewter]

maybe

[sullen pewter]

and in classes

[vale wing]

Nah that's OOP

It's an instance of class at the moment of function execution

In simple words

[vale wing]

Check examples in the library's github repo

[sullen pewter]

Is this alr?
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

[vale wing]

Yes

Just was going to send this to you lol

[sullen pewter]

lol

[sullen pewter]

What's so bad in not having button: discord.ui.Button?

I've had a bot without it and it worked fine

[vale wing]

!d discord.ui.Button.callback

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.callback

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

The callback associated with this UI item.

This can be overridden by subclasses.

[vale wing]

It's not a staticmethod

The self attribute is required

In views it is a bit different, self is View, button is Button and interaction is MessageInteraction

Or whatever it is in dpy

[sullen pewter]

What is super

super().__init__()

[vale wing]

May I ask

[sullen pewter]

Yessir

[vale wing]

Do you know object-oriented programming

[sullen pewter]

yes

but I am not good at it

[vale wing]

Ok

[sullen pewter]

I think I only know basics

[vale wing]

super() is a method of accessing the method of the superclass

[placid skiff]

super() is the super constructor, when you create a subclass you can call the super method to access the superclass

[vale wing]

Basically self.method() will call the method you overwrite and super().method() will call original method inherited from superclass

[sullen pewter]

oh ok

[placid skiff]

so super().__init__ will call the constructor of the superclass

it means that you will have to pass to the subclass all the parameters that you will originally pass in the superclass

[sullen pewter]

makes sense

[placid skiff]

Exe let's start a python class

[sullen pewter]

is super class parent?

[light violet]

How to fetch the user who is autjorizing my bot i need to know that

Authorizing* pls help

[placid skiff]

I don't know if it is possible, i will check the doc

[sullen pewter]

How to use button_callback when using view subclass

[slate swan]

class ExampleView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label='Confirm', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('Confirming', ephemeral=True)
        self.stop()

you mean that?

[sullen pewter]

yes

[slate swan]

oh and the order has changed of the parameters so keeping that in mind

[sullen pewter]

I want it to be like this but using subclass

[visual island]

You can actually get it by fetching through the audit log with the action of AuditLogAction.bot_add, and check if entry.target == bot.user, then get the user with entry.user.

[vale wing]

Good idea

[vale wing]

Yes

[sullen pewter]

that makes lots of sense

[vale wing]

"Authorizing the bot" you mean the person who launches the bot?

[sullen pewter]

Can I have discord.ui.button(...) inside of async def on_member_join

[vale wing]

You typically define views in a separated module and import them from it

[sullen pewter]

ok

[slate swan]

thats optional though?

[vale wing]

Yes but considered a good practice

[slate swan]

well it indeed is

we can also put int

[cloud dawn]

Then it's not a json.

[vale wing]

And it will be automatically converted to string

[slate swan]

uh keys

ye keys are string

[vale wing]

!e

from json import dumps

print(dumps({10: "yes", 20: True}))```

[unkempt canyon]

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

{"10": "yes", "20": true}

[slate swan]

i thought value sry

[vale wing]

Ok

[sullen pewter]

How to send normal messages after an interaction

[slate swan]

but i did int(keys)

[sullen pewter]

not interaction.response.send_message

[slate swan]

and its error of end giv method

[vale wing]

interaction.channel.send

[sullen pewter]

ok, ty

@discord.ui.button(label='Write an introduction', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button, member):
        await interaction.channel.send(f'Welcome to the server {member.mention}! Use the button below to make an introduction and get access to the server.')
        self.value = True
        self.stop()```

Can I add member?

in the args

[vale wing]

No

[sullen pewter]

how can I mention the user?

interaction.author.mention?

[vale wing]

interaction.author (the attribute may also be interaction.user, depends on lib)

[sullen pewter]

ty

[vale wing]

You should check docs

!d discord.MessageInteraction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.MessageInteraction

class discord.MessageInteraction```
Represents the interaction that a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is a response to.

New in version 2.0...

[sullen pewter]

class Introduction(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @discord.ui.button(label='Write an introduction', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button, member):
        await interaction.channel.send(f'Welcome to the server {interaction.user.mention} Use the button below to make an introduction and get access to the server.')
        self.value = True

async def on_member_join(member):
    view = Introduction()
    await member.send(f'Welcome to the server {member.mention}! Use the button below to make an introduction and get access to the server.', view=view)```

solved

How to remove this red note under the button after an interaction?

There are no errors

and interaction works

I just want to remove the red thing under it

[vale wing]

Reply to that interaction (I don't think there's any other method to remove it)

Deferring it will only give forever "bot is thinking" message

Reply with some ephemeral like "go to #welcome to make your introduction"

[sullen pewter]

ic

Is there message.content.after bot's message => await message.reply('Blah, blah, blah')

wait_for ^

[slate swan]

uh?

[sullen pewter]

Bot: What would you like your nickname to be? (32 character max)
User: Ronald
Bot: Nickname set to Ronald!

[slate swan]

and?! what arent you able to do?

[sullen pewter]

wdym

[slate swan]

use a wait_for event

[sullen pewter]

idk how to

Ik but I cant

wait_for what

[maiden fable]

msg = await bot.wait_for(...) 
print(msg.content) 

[sullen pewter]

wait_for bot messag

[maiden fable]

Since msg is a discord.Message object

[sullen pewter]

Ik how wait_for works but what should bot wait for

[maiden fable]

"message"

[sullen pewter]

if I want it to wait for it's own nickname message

[maiden fable]

There are examples in the docs

[sullen pewter]

seen them

[slate swan]

import asyncio
import discord
try:
  msg: discord.Message = await Bot.wait_for("message", timeout=300, check=if_any_custom_check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
  ...

[maiden fable]

Ash writing a paragraph

Nvm

[supple thorn]

I forgot about ashley

[slate swan]

no....my typing is slow

😔

[rocky hornet]

oops wrong channel

[maiden fable]

Lol it's fine

[rocky hornet]

nah ill repost to general

[sullen pewter]

@bot.command()
async def command(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Type: `hello`")
    def check(m):
        return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel.id == ctx.channel.id
    try:#`msg` will receive a message object if check function returns True
        msg = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check,timeout=10)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:#time out error will be raise when it has been 10 seconds
        await ctx.send("10 seconds has passed, timeout.")
    else:
        await ctx.send(f'Hello {ctx.author}!')```

[sullen pewter]

Do i have to write my nickname message in 'hello'?

[maiden fable]

Ash will help u with this

(CC @slate swan)

[rocky hornet]

whats the problem here?

[sullen pewter]

I want users to set their nicknames after bot's message

[rocky hornet]

so they write their new names in chat?

[slate swan]

<prefix>command
bot: type hello
user: some message
bot: hello uwu#1234

[sullen pewter]

yea right

[rocky hornet]

msg = await bot.wait_for(...)
this line gives you a message object of the message that passed your check

[sullen pewter]

but that's not what i want

[sullen pewter]

Ik

I want users to change their nicknames after bot offers them to change it

[rocky hornet]

but user didnt type hello

[sullen pewter]

If bot sends Babooey message users have to change their nickname

[rocky hornet]

oh

so you want to track nick change or?

[slate swan]

uh?

[sullen pewter]

^

[rocky hornet]

i still dont get it

who changes what

[placid verge]

if ctx.author.name == "Something you want them to change it to" :
  await ctx.send("Nice , you changed your nickname")
else : 
  await ctx.send("You didn't change ur nickname ")

[rocky hornet]

what is hello

[sullen pewter]

that's not what I want

[slate swan]

display_name*

[placid verge]

That's what you said

[sullen pewter]

no

[placid verge]

You said you want them to change their nickname

[rocky hornet]

yeah, so why are you waiting for message, not name change

[sullen pewter]

Example:

[slate swan]

pfffttt

[placid verge]

Bruh thats not what you asked for

[rocky hornet]

bruh

[sullen pewter]

I may be bad at explanation but this is what I meant

[rocky hornet]

wait for message, grab resulting message's content, change msg author's name to this content

[sullen pewter]

||or you just have bad comprehension(I don't mean it in a mean way lol)||

[sullen pewter]

YES that's what I want

[rocky hornet]

3 people failed to understand you

[placid verge]

👍

[rocky hornet]

tells something

[slate swan]

import asyncio
import discord
try:
  msg: discord.Message = await Bot.wait_for("message", timeout=300, check=if_any_custom_check)
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
  ...
if len(message.content) > 32:
    return "No"
#you should really use some filters to allow in specific characters
await ctx.author.edit(nick=msg.content)

[sullen pewter]

then that just makes me bad at explaining

[sullen pewter]

OOO

[rocky hornet]

Bot is a class

[slate swan]

stop, there must be some issue with understanding due to language differences

[slate swan]

omg thanks for letting me know.....
I knowingly put it there?

[placid verge]

uh maybe don't fight

[rocky hornet]

i wasnt judging?

[slate swan]

okay fine apologies

[vale wing]

Wth

[placid skiff]

Ayo calm down

[placid verge]

steps back

[slate swan]

leaves

[placid verge]

runs

[rocky hornet]

@light violet I think start by figuring out why it's returning None, or use try excepts maybe

[jagged adder]

can anyone tell me why this pause command isnt working ?

#checks
PAUSE_STATE = False

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
 
    global PAUSE_STATE

    if message.channel.id not in (x, x):
        return

    if message.author == bot.user:
        return

    if message.content.upper == "PAUSE":
        PAUSE_STATE = True
        return
    if message.content.upper == "RESUME":
        PAUSE_STATE = False

    if PAUSE_STATE:
        return

    if message.content.startswith("Play"):
        #time.sleep(3)
        await message.channel.send("**Act One, Scene One: The Beginning**")

im trying to stop the code from continuing past this point if PAUSE_STATE == True

but its continuing to accept inputs lower down the on_message function

[light violet]

def exchange_code(code):
data = {
'client_id': CLIENT_ID,
'client_secret': CLIENT_SECRET,
'grant_type': 'authorization_code',
'code': code,

}
r = requests.post('%s/oauth2/token' % API_ENDPOINT, data=data, headers=headers)
r.raise_for_status()
return r.json()

getting bad response for this

everything is correct

[wanton cipher]

maybe what you can do is this? ```py
if PAUSE_STATE is False:
...
else:
return

[wanton cipher]

then maybe it's returning None. I assume what you should do is check that the function is returning something besides None

[jagged adder]

that means id need to have near the entire contents of my on_message function (anything below the check anyway) indented till it hits the else statement at the end, wouldnt i?

unless im missing something

[vagrant brook]

That's unfortunately not how an event works

Everytime it receives a message that function gets called again

[jagged adder]

feel free to educate me, as im still learnin new things relating to this every day

[vagrant brook]

You need to make pause_state a global variable

[jagged adder]

would actually be appreciated if you were able to explain where the issue is

wait...

yeah it is atm

[vagrant brook]

global PAUSE_STATE

[jagged adder]

in my code it is, missed it when i was copy pasting selectively

[vagrant brook]

oh yeah I missed that first line but you still need the global keyword

[slate swan]

dont, its a bad practice

[jagged adder]

yeah i have the global in there, ill edit my copy paste sec

[slate swan]

use bot variables instead

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[wanton cipher]

also, just incase you didn't know, you can use commands discord.ext.commands, and you can remove the prefix if you want a prefixless bot :)

[vagrant brook]

Also upper is a function I think

You should call it

[slow fog]

Ashley

[wanton cipher]

yea, it is

[slate swan]

I am sus?

[vagrant brook]

upper()

[jagged adder]

yeah i been using that loads through the code

[slow fog]

😢

[jagged adder]

nearly every input line has it

[slate swan]

uh, okay you say it

[vagrant brook]

sus

[slow fog]

Suspicious activity

[tidal hawk]

Is there some sort of a Rate limit, how many bots you can run at once?

[slate swan]

until you get ratelimited

and if you are running them from the same ip

you'll get blocked faster

[tidal hawk]

Wtf

Just woke up and saw that 3 of my bots aint working "disnake.errors.HTTPException: 429 Too Many Requests (error code: 0): You are being rate limited."

Damn it

[slow fog]

Oh yes

Thats why some people are actually using many nodes to host

[wanton cipher]

This is what my google search got me, idk if it help or not...```
Discord has different rate limits for routes and discord bots. On top of that, Discord also has a global limit of fifty requests per second. The rate limits are always given on the response headers, which can be found in the developer tools section of your browser.

[jagged adder]

how would i go about using this if i have alot of variables? (which i do)

[drowsy pendant]

!userinfo

!user_info

[unkempt canyon]

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

[wanton cipher]

it's just as simple as defining a normal var, just bot.var = var/value

[jagged adder]

so this..?

bot.PAUSE_STATE = False

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):

    if message.channel.id not in (x, x):
        return

    if message.author == bot.user:
        return

    if message.content.upper == "PAUSE":
        bot.PAUSE_STATE = True
        return
    if message.content.upper == "RESUME":
        bot.PAUSE_STATE = False

    if bot.PAUSE_STATE:
        return

    if message.content.startswith("Play"):
        #time.sleep(3)
        await message.channel.send("**Act One, Scene One: The Beginning**")

[tidal hawk]

So my only way is to purchase another Vps service and host some bots from there?

[wanton cipher]

yeah

[jagged adder]

what is the reason to use bot. over a standard variable?

[slow fog]

Well not exactly that but

You got the point

[wanton cipher]

it makes it an attribute of bot

[jagged adder]

which does ...

[tidal hawk]

What's the alternative method? Do you know?

Likee.. run bots from different ip?

[jagged adder]

im wondering what extra functionality id get from it by doing so

[slow fog]

Yes

[jagged adder]

the only bot. stuff ive done is based off examples ive been given; i presume itll help somewhere but if i dont know how to use it

[wanton cipher]

bot is basically accessible everywhere, therefore your var will be accessible everywhere you can access your bot

[slow fog]

Supposed

[slate swan]

Hey I want to make my bot 24/7, any help?

[slate swan]

ashley can you try help me in this channel #help-cheese

[potent spear]

#965291480992321536

[slow fog]

Only if discord are dealing with requests by ips and not by the application id which is gonna be a problem in your case

[slate swan]

Thanks SniperGlitcherz

[jagged adder]

apart from avoiding global imports, what other benefits would be gained by letting the variable be accessed anywhere? can u give me an example?

[potent spear]

you won't accidentally overwrite shit

[slow fog]

I think you must try to run them with a different ips

[potent spear]

also, you most likely only need that variable in scope of your bot
that's a double kill (you don't have to pass your bot AND that variable as an arg)

[slow fog]

If its still then discord does contain requests by the application id and not by the ip

[wanton cipher]

if you use cogs, you can access the vars like that, otherwise I am not 100% sure xD Just don't make every single var a bot attr, but it can be useful for important things that you may need to use in multiple places and cases

[jagged adder]

well the bot is going to become a lot more advanced later on (because of that, id appreciate if someone who knows their shiz would be willing to put aside a bit of time to run through the code with me and see how i can optimize it/implement certain features.)

before it grows into a monster job to change everything later :p

[wanton cipher]

for me I normally use slash commands and cogs which ig you can say are advanced, but if you making your commands in on_message event, therefore you won't really need to use too many advanced features or the whole bot attr thing as everything will be in one file

[tidal hawk]

Shiit.. yeah I can't even run the bot from my local pc

So I'm f-ed? xd

[slow fog]

Oh

Are you running them from a vps service?

[tidal hawk]

Mhm

Actually 3/6 bots are running, somehow

[slow fog]

Wait im stupid

I thought you were the other guy for a moment

[tidal hawk]

xd

[wet crystal]

In the Discord docs, what does the Optional mean under the attributes?

[wanton cipher]

I recommend looking into commands before going to far as they will def help you in the long run since they'll trump having your commands in on_message

[jagged adder]

am i the "other guy"? 👀

[slow fog]

Yes i mean your username i couldnt type it

[jagged adder]

thats why i could use someone who knows their shit lol

[wanton cipher]

it means that it can either return None or the other thing

[jagged adder]

aha nps

[wet crystal]

Im talking about the Optional[Union[VoiceChannel, StageChannel]] from the example I gave

[wanton cipher]

I know a little bit, but I can't help you in your case as I like to make sure everything is future resistant, I know I don't know it all, but feel free to consult others or the docs :) gl on your coding adventures and I hope you succed as it's very fun

[jagged adder]

wdym by future resistant?

[wanton cipher]

yes, it means it will return either None, VoiceChannel or StageChannel

[wanton cipher]

if I want to keep tinkering and tinkering, I try go for the things that save me from completely restating things and/or are more willing to be upgraded with the newer features

[jagged adder]

i see...

i mean that sounds like a good idea?

[wanton cipher]

like I said, look into commands, then maybe look into cogs, but as of now, if you doing simple things, the on_message event will work fine for a bit

[jagged adder]

i mean its a text adventure with more complicated features so...

prolly relatively simple, once i work out how to make it do what i want

[manic path]

'_overwrites[0].allow{'new_value':1024, 'old_value':0}
What do 1024 represent? I changed view channel for @everyone and i got this from after in on_channel_update.

[tidal hawk]

How can I use response header to get information about my rate limits?

[wanton cipher]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[tidal hawk]

Any glue anybody?

[maiden fable]

!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")...

[maiden fable]

dpy does that for u

[tidal hawk]

It doesn't give me those necessary params I want to see. It only says: disnake.errors.HTTPException: 429 Too Many Requests (error code: 0): You are being rate limited.

I want to see, for how long am I?

and if it's global or user

[jovial plover]

user = client.get_user(int(getUser(ctx.channel.id)))
await user.add_roles(discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="Whitelist"))

why is this not working

[tough lance]

What's getUser

[placid skiff]

bruh you want to get a user object with the id of a channel

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/umupocaqot Someone help me plz

[jovial plover]

it is a valid UID that i stored in database.

User is not None.

Any help?

AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'add_roles'

[supple thorn]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[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.

[supple thorn]

Only member has that

^

[slate swan]

I guess.. you need to catch the error and access the response bound with it.. like

except HTTPException as e:
    print(e.response.headers.get('Whatever-Header-you-wanna-access'))

Note that response is aiohttp.ClientResponse's instance, so just check it's docs for what more you can do with it

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/http.py#L448-L480 See how dpy packs the error for you and reverse-engineer it. Disnake probably do the same (if they haven't modified this part of source code)

[terse coyote]

how to get amount member's messages?

[potent spear]

in the whole guild?

[terse coyote]

yes

[potent spear]

only thing I can think of is loop through every text_channel in the guild and check the history there where you check if the author was the user you're looking for

[terse coyote]

hm

[slate swan]

Basically you can't, technically you can (what SniperGlitcherz said) but will cause ratelimits

[terse coyote]

oh ok, thx

[heady sluice]

then why can we tho

if you think about it, we make those API calls too

when we click on search and type from:meh

[slate swan]

Bot accounts aren't allowed to use that endpoint iirc

[vale wing]

Stats bots typically don't fetch it, they track and store

[gaunt mortar]

Hi guys, I got issues while trying to catch exceptions on a discord bot project - I did not have this issue while catching exceptions on other projects..
"TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed"

My Exception class inherit from Exception :

class BalanceInsuffisanteException(Exception):
    pass

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: Interaction):
        if findMiseForBet(interaction.user.id, self.bet["_id"]) is not None:
            embed = discord.Embed(color=0xff2429)
            embed.add_field(name="Pari refusé", value="Tu as déjà misé sur ce pari", inline=False)
        else:
            try:
                addMiseToDB(interaction.user.id, str(self.children[0]), str(self.choice), self.bet, self.bet['date'], self.bet['heure'], self.idUsed)
                embed = discord.Embed(color=0x152dff)
                embed.add_field(name="Pari validé", value="Tu as misé 500 jetons sur une victoire", inline=False)
            except BalanceInsuffisanteException as e:
                embed = discord.Embed(color=0xff2429)
                embed.add_field(name="Pari refusé", value="Tu ne possèdes pas assez de jetons", inline=False)
            except DelaiDepasseException as e:
                embed = discord.Embed(color=0xff2429)
                embed.add_field(name="Pari refusé", value="Le délai pour miser sur ce pari est passé", inline=False)
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

Maybe am I doing wrong in catching exceptions since it's an async function & an await at the end ? I don't really know..

[vale wing]

Could you show the full traceback

[gaunt mortar]

Yep for sure !

Ignoring exception in modal <DoBet timeout=None children=1>:

[placid skiff]

this is weird lol

[slate swan]

it's not too many API calls either, it's a single heavy api call

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/http.py#L727-L734

[unkempt canyon]

[vale wing]

Try ctrl + press the exception class in except and see where it brings you to, you might have redefinition

[slate swan]

BalanceInsufficientException isn't a subclass of Exception/BaseException

[loud junco]

hi

[gaunt mortar]

class BalanceInsuffisanteException(Exception):
    pass

Isn't it supposed to ? 🥴

[vale wing]

@gaunt mortar so what did you get

[gaunt mortar]

I already did, it brings me to the right class

[vale wing]

Ok that's weird

[gaunt mortar]

Maybe is it related to how I'm raising the exception ? idk

[vale wing]

Print BalanceInsuffisanteException.__mro__ before the critical statement

[vale wing]

Well how do you raise it

[gaunt mortar]

I'm printing what you asked me to, I'm sending the function that raises the exception after that

[vale wing]

Ok

[gaunt mortar]

(<class 'exceptions.BalanceInsuffisanteException.BalanceInsuffisanteException'>, <class 'Exception'>, <class 'BaseException'>, <class 'object'>)

[slate swan]

do you import the class itself?
because from what i see, the name of your file is same as the name of the class~

[vale wing]

Oh yeah

Btw follow naming convention for god's sake

Are you a java programmer or smth

[gaunt mortar]

spotted oops

[vale wing]

Cause in java the standard is one class per file

[gaunt mortar]

yep

[vale wing]

In python it's not

It's several classes per module

Put all exceptions into one module and import them from there

[gaunt mortar]

ok ok, gonna do this

[vale wing]

Most likely you were trying to catch a module lol

[flint isle]

how can i check if my bot has a specific permission

[vale wing]

Specific channel permission or guild

[flint isle]

guild

[vale wing]

!d discord.Member.guild_permissions use ctx.me to get the bot's Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild\_permissions

property guild_permissions```
Returns the member’s guild permissions.

This only takes into consideration the guild permissions
and not most of the implied permissions or any of the
channel permission overwrites. For 100% accurate permission
calculation, please use [`abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for "discord.abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for")...

[flint isle]

ok

[flint isle]

would i be able to print(ctx.me.guild_permissions)

[slate swan]

yea

[flint isle]

umm

Hiiii

[regal pulsar]

👋 .

[placid skiff]

[slate swan]

Hiiii Blvck

[placid skiff]

Hi there

[flint isle]

thanks

[regal pulsar]

its inter for slash commands 💀

for the second one

not ctx

[flint isle]

yeah

is there a way to calculate what perms my bot has using the permission value?

[placid skiff]

You can name it ctx

[regal pulsar]

you can

but dont

i remember when i called ctx message

[placid skiff]

Well i mostly use my AnyContext object lel

[regal pulsar]

i never fixed it till i learnt cogs

[regal pulsar]

i see

[slate swan]

just use guild_permissions.permission_name, it will be True if the bot has the permissions

[spiral wing]

where is the 1st cmd inter

[flint isle]

its in my code but not in that codeblock

[flint isle]

ok that helps thanks

[robust fulcrum]

Guys is there any way to add buttons in discord.py 1.7
Cause replit pip trash it not download 2.0

[flint isle]

no.

[regal pulsar]

you cant

but you can just use disnake

pip install disnake

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm discord.ui?

[regal pulsar]

yeah

!d disnake.ui.Button

[robust fulcrum]

Will it work?

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ui.Button

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

New in version 2.0.

[flint isle]

just use disnake XD

[robust fulcrum]

But discord.py original

[regal pulsar]

disnake is just a fork of d.py

also original what

[robust fulcrum]

Do it have same thing?

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[robust fulcrum]

And buttons?

[regal pulsar]

its exactly the same

just replace the discord with disnake in your code

[robust fulcrum]

Is pycord or disnake or nextcord better

[regal pulsar]

disnake is the best

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

Actually replit is trash

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[slate swan]

none is the best, use dpy 2.0 or a separate discord api wrapper

[regal pulsar]

try railway

[slate swan]

thats a hosting service...

[robust fulcrum]

😂

[regal pulsar]

https://railway.app/

[regal pulsar]

he wants to use replit to host right

[robust fulcrum]

Will it work?

But 💰

[slate swan]

no?

[regal pulsar]

oh

[slate swan]

its free for 5 USD iirc

at the shared ips level

[robust fulcrum]

But bro my parents doesn't allow use money on internet

[slate swan]

but anyways, you cant code with it if you are doing the same with replit

[regal pulsar]

wait a minute

do i not know what replit does

[robust fulcrum]

Lmso

[regal pulsar]

uh oh

[robust fulcrum]

https://replit.com

[slate swan]

i think i will just go away

[regal pulsar]

ah it can host

i thought you were using replit to host

[robust fulcrum]

For free

[regal pulsar]

not to code 💀

[flint isle]

... dude just self host the bot

[robust fulcrum]

No i used to for code too

[regal pulsar]

why

[robust fulcrum]

Bro Android

[regal pulsar]

just use any ide

oh

[robust fulcrum]

XD

[slate swan]

pydroid

[regal pulsar]

dont have a pc/laptop?

[robust fulcrum]

I have

[slate swan]

stop

[regal pulsar]

^

[robust fulcrum]

But lazy to turn on

[regal pulsar]

. . .

[slate swan]

turn it on once and never turn it off again.

[robust fulcrum]

Mobile easy

No need to shut down

[regal pulsar]

you could do 6 hours of android coding in one hour on a pc

[flint isle]

anyways... is there a way that i could run a slash command via a prefix?

[robust fulcrum]

No

[regal pulsar]

what does that even mean lmao

its called a slash command

[flint isle]

can i run my /ping command via a $ping

as a alternative to people who want to see them in the help documentation

or how can i put slash commands in the help documentation lol

[slate swan]

you can invoke your normal command with a slash command but not a message command with a slash one L

[grand shell]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_guild_channel_delete(self, channel):
        if channel not in channel.guild.categories:
            return
        oldChannels = channel. ???
        for oldChannel in oldChannels:
            await oldChannel.delete()

hey guys, how can i get a list of the text channels that were in a category before it was deleted? normally, when you delete a category, all the channels are freed and dont belong to a category anymore but im trying to delete them if their category is deleted

[slate swan]

channel.channels ~

[flint isle]

any known way?

[grand shell]

the tricky thing is that channel = None because it was just deleted..

[slate swan]

which library

[flint isle]

disnake

[slate swan]

!d disnake.SlashCommand.description

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.SlashCommand.description

The slash command’s description.

[flint isle]

will that show up in the help command?

[slate swan]

you would have to subclass HelpCommand class and override its methods to add the slash commands

[flint isle]

hmm any guides for that?

[tidal hawk]

Where can I see, for how long I've been rate limited?

Just got it randomly tonight

[flint isle]

What host are you using lol

hm?

[heavy shard]

isn't "utils" inside of "cogs"? looks like it to me

[weak moat]

Hello, tell me how to make the text limit vertically and horizontally in the white box

[wispy sequoia]

I want to make a command deleting a given role, but of course I'm not able to delete a role created for a bot. how do I make an error handler for that?

like, if it recognizes that it's a bot role, it replies saying that

[weak moat]

Do you need to delete roles in use except for the bot?

[wispy sequoia]

no

[wanton cipher]

you can check if the bot has that role (ctx.guild.me.roles)

[wispy sequoia]

the command is deleterole

I provide the role name/id and it deletes it

but you guys know when you make a bot joins a server, it automatically creates a role for itself

and that role is not able to get deleted

I want my bot to reply it's not able to delete that role if the user provides it

[wanton cipher]

try handle for the discord.Forbidden error or something

[wispy sequoia]

already tried

[wanton cipher]

hmm

[wispy sequoia]

I made a try/except thing

try:
except discord.Forbidden:
except:

it always passes except only

[weak moat]

help me pliz

[wispy sequoia]

no clue man

[wispy sequoia]

any other ideas?

[wanton cipher]

I think I have one hacky way... what you can do is check that the role has more than just on bot user in it

[heavy shard]

@wispy sequoia the documentation is short about it, but i think you're looking for discord.Role.is_bot_managed

[wanton cipher]

welp, there you go xD

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.is\_bot\_managed

is_bot_managed()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.10)"): Whether the role is associated with a bot.

New in version 1.6.

[wispy sequoia]

so is it just

if role.is_bot_managed():
pass

?

[heavy shard]

yeah, sure

[wispy sequoia]

well

it still raises error

let me check if I did something else wrong first

[wispy sequoia]

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    currentGuild = bot.get_guild(ctx.guild.id)

    try:
        for role in currentGuild.roles:
            print(role.id)

            # if role.is_bot_managed():
            #print("couldn't delete")
            # return
    except:
        return print("error")

this is the code, I modified it so I can see if it's something else. at the moment, it prints all the roles' IDs as it's supposed to do. any clue on what's wrong?

[slate swan]

what, why getting the same guild object again?

[wispy sequoia]

oh yeah

[slate swan]

#web-development

[wispy sequoia]

yeye Ik it just didn't come in my mind

that's not a problem anyways

[slate swan]

wots the issue?

ah ```py
for role in roles:
if role.is_bot_managed(): continue

delete role

[wispy sequoia]

yes

[slate swan]

and you also need to ignore the everyone role..

[wispy sequoia]

also

[wispy sequoia]

still

wait

I think I know what's wrong

does it start from the bottom? because if so that's the issue, bc it tries to delete @ everyone

[heavy shard]

The first element of this list will be the lowest role in the hierarchy. ... yes

[wispy sequoia]

lol

sorry then, I feel stupid 💀

[slate swan]

just if role.id == ctx.guild.id: continue it

[wispy sequoia]

is the @ everyone role

is_default()

?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Role.is_default

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.is\_default

is_default()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.10)"): Checks if the role is the default role.

[slate swan]

yeah

[wispy sequoia]

nice

[slate swan]

but, eh thats just an extra call, just compare the role id with the current server's id
the id of everyone role is always same as the server's ID

thats what that method does essentially

[warped mirage]

Hello can someone help me code my warnsystem

Like continue it

[slate swan]

Why does my python bot keeps sending messages when I sent message that isn't even contains in message.content.lower?

#chat bot

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

    if 'hello' in message.content.lower():
        await message.channel.send(random.choice(greetings))
        time.sleep(1)
        await message.channel.send(random.choice(cq))

[slate swan]

and how to fix it

[wispy sequoia]

okay, thanks anyways for all the help, even tho I figured it out by myself

I feel dumb 🥲

[warped mirage]

@slate swan u down or busy

[slate swan]

thanks for pinging, anything is better than me getting addicting to something, whats the issue?

Intents = discord.Intents.default()
Intents unresolved reference

[slate swan]

uh?

what could even be wrong??

[glad cradle]

is this inside a class?

[slate swan]

no its in main.py

[glad cradle]

have you tried to run your code?

[warped mirage]

Damn everyone’s mad

🤡

[glad cradle]

to see if you receive a full traceback error

[slate swan]

yes and nothing seems to work fine when related to intnets + this first time happens

[heavy shard]

did you make a folder discord ?

[slate swan]

im sorry how is this related

[glad cradle]

if you have any problems just ask 🕊️

[warped mirage]

Guys I need help making my warnsystem , I think I made the tables but I need some help with commands and ye . I’m using a cog

[glad cradle]

mmm, send your main.py code, how many lines are there?

[slate swan]

bro just ask if u have a problem then anyone here will respond

[warped mirage]

Ok then I already asked so ima wait

[glad cradle]

ping the question pls

[slate swan]

what do you want help about?

[heavy shard]

sorry not the folder, the file discord.py if you created it it's gonna overlap original module

[glad cradle]

that's sussy, does your Bot not run completely?

reinstall dpy

[vale wing]

Updating it might help as well

pip install -U discord.py

[edgy mantle]

anyone know how i can make these options with app_commands in discord.py and pycord

[heady sluice]

it's member.name

and you don't need an f-string

but you might need members intents

[warped mirage]

Save the world nice

[edgy mantle]

Indeed

[warped mirage]

I’m a twine peaks dude lol

[edgy mantle]

same im pl 131

[warped mirage]

I’m pl 115 cuz I haven’t played in awhile

What about battle royale I heard there is a new season about to drop

[heady sluice]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[heady sluice]

read the whole thing not just the code

from discord import Intents

[spring flax]

what are the benefits or using bot.http.send_message?

[slate swan]

whats a way to get all commands in a bot
in code,
like
getbotcommands
print commands
im using cogs by the way

[heady sluice]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

property commands```
A unique set of commands without aliases that are registered.

[warped mirage]

guys this is my cog , can someone help me fix the undefined clients first of all

[heady sluice]

pass self

use self.client

python

[warped mirage]

So in the() do I just add self ?

[heady sluice]

yes

setup_db(self)

[warped mirage]

Ok

[ashen notch]

Anyone know off hand if there's any Discord documentation for the new voice channel text channel things? Can't seem to locate anything.

[heady sluice]

can't even find the master api reference now

oh it's latest not master

oh ForumChannel, might this be it?

[ashen notch]

No that's a separate feature

Unless it's how they're doing it...

Hmm

[heady sluice]

this is all we got

[knotty agate]

i want my bot to be able to send messages outside of an event
so like lets say i want it to send a message every hour saying 'one hour has passed'

import discord
import time
import threading

client = discord.Client()

def time_alert():
  output_channel = client.get_channel(343944376055103488)
  while True:
    time.sleep(3600)
    |AWAIT| channel.send("one hour has passed")

thread = threading.Thread(target=time_alert)
thread.start()
client.run(token)

the issue with this is i cant use await

[heady sluice]

use tasks

[knotty agate]

what are tasks?

[heady sluice]

from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(seconds=3600)
async def my_background_task():
    #do your thing

my_background_task.start()
bot.run(TOKEN)

since you want to get a channel, you'd have to put await bot.wait_until_ready() at the start of your task

so the cache is loaded

[ashen notch]

Wait where did you find that? Probably would be bundled in the Voice Channel specific stuff

[heady sluice]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#forumchannel

[knotty agate]

thank you very much 🙂

[heady sluice]

it's under Discord Models

[ashen notch]

Ah, gotcha. Was hoping for specific Discord docs rather than d.py

But I guess I could comb through the code

Odds are good we aren't there yet, though.

[heady sluice]

maybe a fork has it

[ashen notch]

Possible. But I can't even find API docs on it in Discord's Developer docs

[heady sluice]

I have never looked at discord docs itself

[ashen notch]

Oh no wait

It is in there? In d.py

Whelp, time to roll up my sleeves and get a-hunting

[heady sluice]

I'm not sure I follow 😭

oh this https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro

[ashen notch]

Yarp

[slate swan]

it isnt there, the updates of the last week and this does not specify it

[ashen notch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceChannel.last_message This is what I saw

Wasn't sure if that's what it was or not

[heady sluice]

wtf

what do they mean last message in a voice channel

[ashen notch]

So voice channels are getting a feature where they have a text channel bundled into them. Means we don't have to have #751591688538947646 and #voice-chat-text-0 as separate channels. However I want to see how they work with regards to the API endpoints. I just can't seem to track down the official endpoint docs for this new feature

It hasn't been fully rolled out

I think it's only on one server I've been on

[heady sluice]

understandable

[slate swan]

help?

[ashen notch]

I want to know where Danny et al. found it

[heady sluice]

you kinda shared your token... Ig?

nah it continues

[ashen notch]

Still wouldn't hurt to regen

[heady sluice]

what lib are you using

[slate swan]

half

[heady sluice]

haven't seen discord.commands yet

[ashen notch]

Isn't it discord.ext.commands?

I genuinely can't remember

[heady sluice]

yeah but that doesn't have slash commands either

[slate swan]

no

[ashen notch]

Gotcha

[slate swan]

fax

[heady sluice]

or permissions

[slate swan]

just describe it as split screen. ease

ill ask in the dpy server and let you know

even better bro

[heady sluice]

maybe they won't be toxic about this one

[heady sluice]

first option: wrong python interpreter
second option: right python interpreter dotenv not downloaded

[heavy shard]

you need to install python-dotenv module

[ashen notch]

I'm going to be honest, I completely forgot that I'm on that server

Derp

[slate swan]

nevermind but i dont think there's any use for the api to have that feature since everything happens on the client side itself

[slate swan]

wym by "wrong python interpreter"

[ashen notch]

Channel and message handling. If we implement it here, we need to make sure that the bot is able to properly see in there in the event we need to lay down justice

I have no idea why I worded it that cheesily

[heady sluice]

your IDE uses the wrong python version

[slate swan]

hm but would that work that way?
like will the on_message even care about any other condition though? (just asking)

[warped mirage]

    client.db = await aiosqlite.connect("warn.db")
    await client.db.execute(
        "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS warnsystem (guild_id INTEGER, warns INTEGER, id INTEGER)")
    await client.db.commit()   ``` guys would this work for a multi guild system or nah

[ashen notch]

Point taken

Yeah hadn't thought of it that way

Hmm

[slate swan]

yeah thats what i meant

[heady sluice]

pass self

[slate swan]

yems

[heady sluice]

not client

[ashen notch]

Rest of it would be permissions....

[warped mirage]

self doesnt do anything when i added ity

[heady sluice]

yo what have we talked about 5 minutes ago

[placid skiff]

Uhm i see that there is an interesting discussion here

[heady sluice]

yeah you gotta pass self and use self.client

[warped mirage]

self , self.client?

[ashen notch]

I guess the only other thing I'll have to figure out is how visible it is and what not for the end user. Anyway, appreciate the help, folks

[heady sluice]

async def setup_db(self):
    self.client.db = await aiosqlite.connect("warn.db")
    await self.client.db.execute(
        "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS warnsystem (guild_id INTEGER, warns INTEGER, id INTEGER)")
    await self.client.db.commit()   

[warped mirage]

ok now i need to code the commands , will be tricky

[heavy shard]

you can do it 🙂

[warped mirage]

nah man

well ill try

[heady sluice]

never forget self

[slate swan]

the reason why I hate dpy and forks' cogs

[heady sluice]

what

[warped mirage]

do i just start off with commands.command() ?

[heady sluice]

yes

[warped mirage]

alright

[slate swan]

hikari is better

[heady sluice]

you know what

[slate swan]

i dont

[heady sluice]

I won't even argue

[slate swan]

me too

[heady sluice]

me neither*

[slate swan]

yes that

[warped mirage]

Guys ima try code but if someone is nice can they help me later on

Uknow no attitude needed just answer is good enough 👍

[shrewd pasture]

What do you need help with

And are you using cogs?

[warped mirage]

yes

[shrewd pasture]

Why

Do you know how to use cogs?

[warped mirage]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import aiosqlite



class warning(commands.Cog):

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

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(warning(client))``` full code atm

[shrewd pasture]

Uhm

[slate swan]

What’s the error

[shrewd pasture]

Warn is very very easy

You didn’t even code in a system yet

[warped mirage]

i need it to be multi guild and be used as aiosqlite

[shrewd pasture]

That’s also easy

[warped mirage]

nice

[shrewd pasture]

You need to setup something to store the guild id

Then store everything per guild in their specified place in your db

[warped mirage]

and btw it may be easy for u but i also need to add warns , delwarns

[shrewd pasture]

Is this for a big project

Where thousands of people will use it

[warped mirage]

yes
thats correct

[shrewd pasture]

Thousands of people will use it per second ?

[warped mirage]

not per second

lol but u do need a warn system for a bot , well u dont but i want i guess.

[stone beacon]

[slate swan]

You don’t need to do all that

You can use roles

[shrewd pasture]

Uh what

[warped mirage]

bro im making a multi guild bot

[shrewd pasture]

That’s stupid

[warped mirage]

not a bot just for one server

[warped mirage]

i can tell reading ur bio lol

[slate swan]

Hm?

[shrewd pasture]

You’re using roles for a warning system

That’s so ugly imo

[warped mirage]

Josh could u help me by any chance or na

[shrewd pasture]

With what

[warped mirage]

[slate swan]

Not really, better in almost every way ngl

[stone beacon]

id's

work best

[warped mirage]

Maybe for one server would be nice , not for multi guilds

[warped mirage]

thats what i wanna do

[slate swan]

Why would you wanna warns to carry on between guilds?

[stone beacon]

Bro

#web-development

[shrewd pasture]

#web-development

[clear harness]

CSS

[warped mirage]

No , each guild has its own warnings stored

[shrewd pasture]

Use #web-development

[stone beacon]

Although that's really just raw css and html so.

[slate swan]

So they you can use roles, easier for staff to see, easier for people getting punished to see, easier for over bots to see, easier for analytics, and you can view all warned people at once, doesn’t require a db either

[warped mirage]

so can someone first help me with the add warn command

[warped mirage]

.......

[shrewd pasture]

It’s not

[warped mirage]

im not using it for one server bro

[shrewd pasture]

A simple !history command is far better

And cleaner

[slate swan]

You just said each guild has individual warning

[shrewd pasture]

Aero please stop

[warped mirage]

Yes

[shrewd pasture]

It’s not what you want it’s what he wants

Giving suggestions is fine

[slate swan]

So how wouldn’t that work

[shrewd pasture]

But he wants to do it differently

[warped mirage]

i mean as long as someone helps me I don’t mind tbf warning system is a warning system

[shrewd pasture]

What database are you using

[warped mirage]

aiosqlite

[shrewd pasture]

Alright well I can’t really help atm

I suggest just looking at the forms or example code for it

[warped mirage]

Oh damn ok

[slate swan]

How familiar are you with python? @warped mirage

[warped mirage]

Idk tbf I’m alright with it

[slate swan]

Do you know how to get and post to your db ?

[warped mirage]

Sorta , I would need help

[halcyon onyx]

what best way to unban someone in discord.py?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.ban

unban*

!d discord.Guild.unban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.unban

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

Unbans a user from the guild.

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

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

[halcyon onyx]

thanks!

[slate swan]

how do i use d.py app commands in cogs

[warped mirage]

Can someone help me with my warning system first a warn command ( aiosqlite )

[slate swan]

idts its possible yet nor did they send out any updates in order

[slate swan]

Dw I fixed it

[slate swan]

did you learn sqlite though

[slate swan]

just fmi is it possible to have app commands in a cog?

[warped mirage]

All I did was setup cog like u told me before ig

[slate swan]

Yeah

[slate swan]

eh? can I see an example?

[slate swan]

No

[slate swan]

so you dont know how to perform basic sqlite queries?

[slate swan]

alright alright

[warped mirage]

Well I do know some stuff I mean the general warn system itself

[slate swan]

well just a write something like
a command named warn

• which inserts/updates new values into the db

[warped mirage]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import aiosqlite



class warning(commands.Cog):

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

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('warning.py has been loaded')


async def setup_db(self):
    self.client.db = await aiosqlite.connect("warn.db")
    await self.client.db.execute(
        "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS warnsystem (guild_id INTEGER, warns INTEGER, id INTEGER)")
    await self.client.db.commit()    

    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
    async def warn(self, ctx, member : discord.Member)
    
     


def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(warning(client))``` full code atm idk if some stuff wrong but ye

[slate swan]

your indents ^^ the setup_db function is outside the cog

and please learn sqlite before asking for help with it

[warped mirage]

I know some but I don’t know all of it lol and I need help with the warn system because it’s not all about db

[slate swan]

what you have to do

• send a message to the member to be warned
• update records in the database

and capitalize your class lol

[warped mirage]

….. viewwarns delwarns

Lol this is not easy

[slate swan]

first make one command at least? and try to visualize and write pseudo code of your objective to achieve

[warped mirage]

Damn no help L ok I’ll just code on my own till it works I guess

[slate swan]

😳 write an algo and make a flowchart for ur dream viewwarn delwarn commands.

[warped mirage]

…..

[slate swan]

jokes apart, this
you should first make it clear "how" and "when" to delete , read or insert the data

[warped mirage]

Now ur trying to confuse me way more

No thx

[tulip matrix]

guys do yall know how to start from scratch i have no knowledge with discord bots in python, could i have website recommendations etc?

[slate swan]

It's bot music

@tulip matrix

[slate swan]

how experienced are you with python?

[tulip matrix]

i know the basics etc print functions, inputs and using int and str

so not much experience

[slate swan]

Does she have any experience?

[slate swan]

i would recommended learning some basic concepts like

• builtin functions like len, sort , etc
• classes
• an introduction to asyncio ( async/ await syntax at minimum )
• control flow, loop logics
  since discord.py is a bit complex library to work with

[tulip matrix]

ah ok

ty :)

[slate swan]

pleasure, there are many free resources to learn them 😄 , you can use !resources command to find it

[slate swan]

can you help me

[slate swan]

!ytdl we can't help with YTDL / anything related to youtube music bots as per the rule 5

[warped mirage]

There’s a bot called diva and they aren’t breaking rules ?

Just curious .

[slate swan]

there are many bots using Youtube to play music, and yes they are all breaking TOS, not discord's but youtube's

a bot named Groovy recently stopped with its development for the same reason.

[warped mirage]

Oh ye

Mee6 also breaks yt Tos ?

[slate swan]

No, I don't use YouTube

Use Spotify and Sound

🙂

[warped mirage]

I use Spotify/distube well not atm

[slate swan]

Now who can help?

🙂

[slate swan]

youtube fucked up real great

[warped mirage]

im trying atleast

[slate swan]

wait...what the heck?

[warped mirage]

? hello im @warped mirage

[slate swan]

why are you passing the parameters in a single string

[warped mirage]

idk what shall i do

[heavy shard]

are you aware of required indentation in python?

[warped mirage]

i indented

[slate swan]

they didnt state any info
https://groovy.bot/ here's the faq

[slate swan]

i'll be fine, too lazy to read

though rythm did announce that they had updates coming out this year?

Bro idk why the slash commands dont show up nomo

and how will we know-

yes, im not sure if its about music, but the say they are working on something "cooler"

It says that the cogs are loaded but after hours nothing happens

[slate swan]

yeah

[slate swan]

Idk im just asking if there is a problem with the disnake library or discord "API"

[slate swan]

use test_guilds kwarg easy

in the commands deco

you probably dont have the app_commands scope

disnake has no problematic issues rn ( stable branch )

[slate swan]

I already have it. It doesnt work either

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

application.commands scope

well, that sould raise an exception in that case...

^

yeah something like "cannot overwrite....in guild....."

[slate swan]

ok?

[slate swan]

good boy

[glad cradle]

have you setted sync_commands_debug to True to see if your slash commands are loaded successfully?

[slate swan]

arent we wasting our time on this convo too, okimii

what....

i like how this chat is always on fire.

[glad cradle]

😈

[slate swan]

ill go watch naruto anyways

[warped mirage]

Guys ima send my crap code in a sec which will be the most terrifying thing u will see

[slate swan]

@slate swan btw you said it would raise an error if the permission is missing, which payload sends the perms of the bot? so then disnake would parse it and probably check it and raise a exception?

[warped mirage]

⚠️ DISCLAIMER : don’t watch if u hate bad codes

[glad cradle]

I don't think so mmm

[slate swan]

because as far as i can see READY doesnt send them

[glad cradle]

I use disnake too, and the first time me too haven't activated application.commands scope

[glad cradle]

yeah

[glad cradle]

but no errors were coming

[slate swan]

because ive seen users with the issue of them not having the scope on and errors werent getting raised

[glad cradle]

yes

[slate swan]

maybe some endpoint payloads were updated, i doubt it. mayeb disnake didnt parse it? i doubt it as well.

[vocal plover]

try setting the logging level to debug, you should then see the responses from discord on requests, if you're missing a scope it should be 403ing in those responses

[glad cradle]

idk if sync_commands_debug = True will show the problem, maybe it can be helpful

[slate swan]

this would happen when? syncing app commands?

[vocal plover]

yes

[slate swan]

no idea cause i have read discord's docs yet, and disnake or actually any discord.py ( forks included ) documents their http :)

why would they document internals?

Honestly I stand in the camp of "internals should be documented" because it means that people gain a better understanding of how the library works, not just what it offers, and is good for contributors
