How to make embed paginator with slash command???
I'm using this but it keeps giving an error:

paginator = BotEmbedPaginator(interaction, embed_list)
await paginator.run()```

```discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'help' raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'bot'```

I've checked the docs and they only give examples of when `ctx` is used.

[slate swan]

Is there any YT tutorial series for discord2?

[vocal cave]

#discord-bots

[slate swan]

No u

[vocal cave]

Hi can anyone give me library management system 6 page code

[shrewd apex]

not any good one yet not like there were good ones in the first place tho

[shrewd apex]

u have to make ur paginator either with reactions or buttons

[shrewd apex]

wdym?

[slate swan]

Oh welp, guess gotta experiment on my own through the docs. By the way, do you know how to use both traditional prefix commands along with slash commands?

[shrewd apex]

u cannot both have different decorators/commands

so u can't have calling them both

[vocal cave]

Means python code for library Management System project

[shrewd apex]

with prefix and slash at the same time

[shrewd apex]

first thing this is discord bot channel

for that u should go to python help channel

[vocal cave]

So I just want toask

[shrewd apex]

and here people help u with parts of your code or where u are stuck

[slate swan]

Alright. What are message commands? Found this thing in the docs long with user commands but cannot understand what message commands are.

[shrewd apex]

it's not a library like u ask a code and someone gives u one

[grizzled burrow]

Code transported from old laptop to new, but cant seem to find the correct way to install discord.py
any assistance please? ty

[vocal cave]

Ok I have made one but stuck at one thing

[ashen torrent]

pip install discord

[heady sluice]

what's your python interpreter

not the right channel but seems like an easy problem

[slate swan]

isn't it pip install discord2 or pip install discord.py?

[heady sluice]

there's no discord2

[slate swan]

there is.

[heady sluice]

it's not a thing

[slate swan]

!pypi discord2

[unkempt canyon]

discord2 v2.0.1

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[grizzled burrow]

already tried this w no luck

[ashen torrent]

installed pip?

[slate swan]

try pip install discord.py

[heady sluice]

OH YOU INSTALL PYCORD AS DISCORD2

don't use pycord

[heady sluice]

@grizzled burrow

[ashen torrent]

someone got a solution for this? 😄

[slate swan]

@grizzled burrow maybe check the python version your vs code is running. Sometimes it uses a different one like an old version so that might cause problem.

[slate swan]

cogs.player doesnt exist

[slate swan]

why?

[grizzled burrow]

vsc

[heady sluice]

that's an IDE

what's your python interpreter

[ashen torrent]

yeah but idk why cause it is definetly installed

[slate swan]

installed or a cog?

[ashen torrent]

installed

[slate swan]

?

give package link

[ashen torrent]

!pypi Cogs

[unkempt canyon]

Cogs v0.4.4

Toolkit for developing command-line utilities in Python

[ashen torrent]

WAIT NEVERMIND FOUND THE PROBLEM Xd

[slate swan]

@shrewd apex Seems like you are AFK now but thank you so much for answering my previous questions. Really appreciate it mate.

[heady sluice]

@grizzled burrow when I click on the play button in vsc, it shows me this in the terminal

it means my python version is 3.9

what's yours?

[shrewd apex]

just do python --version in terminal

[lyric apex]

Hey how to get emojis even if the bot is not in that server

[shrewd apex]

not possible

unless u go personally and download the images by hand

then upload in a server ur bot is in

[slate swan]

Asher's smort

[lyric apex]

I have seen many bots doing that @shrewd apex

[quaint epoch]

do bot.get_emoji(id)

[shrewd apex]

really how come my bot don't got such super powers then

[quaint epoch]

then just str(emoji)

i think

[shrewd apex]

it can only fetch from the servers bot is in otherwise u will only get the emoji name and id

[quaint epoch]

yeah ik

[lyric apex]

Dont know but this exists

[slate swan]

doesnt

[lyric apex]

@slate swan

[shrewd apex]

lmao it doesn't exist no matter how many people u ping that won't change

[slate swan]

sorry.....if I did anything

[shrewd apex]

also how do u know this exists?

[lyric apex]

I have seen my friend bot doing this

It uses dpy

So i think this exists

[shrewd apex]

how do u know all the servers ur friends bot is in🤨

[maiden fable]

What exists

[shrewd apex]

bot which sends emojis from all over discord

without being in the server

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Client.emojis is what u can use, but the bot can only send emojis of the servers it's in

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.emojis

property emojis```
The emojis that the connected client has.

[fallow mauve]

is it possible to put slash commands in cogs?

[shrewd apex]

yeah that's what we are trying to explain from 5 mins

[maiden fable]

Yea

[shrewd apex]

where is ur rich presence👀

[maiden fable]

I'm on mobile rn

[fallow mauve]

can you explain to me how?

[shrewd apex]

oh sed

[shrewd apex]

what was that lib again ? for that

[maiden fable]

Also, the GIF is like 1 GB and I cba to download it, upload it to websites to compress it, upload it to imgur and then use it

[maiden fable]

!pypi pypresence

[unkempt canyon]

pypresence v4.2.1

Discord RPC client written in Python

[shrewd apex]

ss taken

[shrewd apex]

what's cba?

[fallow mauve]

sounds like a military ship

[maiden fable]

Can't be arsed

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.slash_command

[unkempt canyon]

NEGATORY.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[shrewd apex]

lmao

[maiden fable]

Sad, dpy hasn't implemented those

[lyric apex]

This is my own server emoji where this bot doesn't exists

Still it sends that emoji

[shrewd apex]

dpy 2.0 new docs aint exactly pro it's seriously under documented on many functions and uses

[maiden fable]

Bro...

[lyric apex]

?

[maiden fable]

Ur specifying the emoji

!d discord.PartialEmoji.read

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PartialEmoji.read

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

Retrieves the content of this asset as a [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "(in Python v3.10)") object.

[lyric apex]

Yeah i was asking for it

[shrewd apex]

lmao the first thing that caught my eye was the name of the bot

[maiden fable]

😂

[lyric apex]

Dont see it

[maiden fable]

I didn't read the name

And I wish I didn't read it

[lyric apex]

its secret

[maiden fable]

Ofc

U do know I know Hindi, right?

[shrewd apex]

it took me a sec to come back to the question

[lyric apex]

Yeah that's why you understand it i think

[maiden fable]

Anyways, use a PartialEmoji converter and use the read method

[shrewd apex]

me hunter sarth all indians

[maiden fable]

async def emoji(ctx, emoji:discord.PartialEmoji):
    pic = await emoji.read() 

[shrewd apex]

do sending emojis in message generate links in message.content?

[lyric apex]

Ohk i try it wait

[maiden fable]

What links

[maiden fable]

It's gonna return bytes BTW

U might wanna use BytesIO and pillow ig

[fallow mauve]

so ive seen bots reply to commands with messages saying "only you can see this message" and whatnot, how is this done?

[lyric apex]

I am using pillow already

[shrewd apex]

normally when u right click on emoji u get a pop up open emoji in new tab so if u send a message with the emoji will the link be generated for the emoji image

[maiden fable]

ephemeral=True when u r using slash commands/buttons/context commands

[shrewd apex]

basically any interaction stuff

[maiden fable]

Yes

[maiden fable]

Yes

[slate swan]

you can simply ```py
f"https://discord.com/emojis/{arg.strip("<>:a")}"

rip flantic bot

[shrewd apex]

but u cant send it as emoji only as a image

[lyric apex]

I hate its owner he was my old friend now he is changed doesn't talk with us also

[slate swan]

true, but that ss he sent was just an image

[shrewd apex]

is there a way to upload a emoji using a bot?

[shrewd apex]

yeah just saying to him

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.create_custom_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_custom\_emoji

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

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

There is currently a limit of 50 static and animated emojis respectively per guild, unless the guild has the `MORE_EMOJI` feature which extends the limit to 200.

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

[slate swan]

this

[lyric apex]

I was using discord.Emoji

[shrewd apex]

nice thx

[lyric apex]

So it returns only the emoji that the bot is in *

[shrewd apex]

ss taken again

[lyric apex]

What

[slate swan]

in discord2, my message.content is coming out empty. I think that's because of the intents and stuff but how do I add intents to discord.Bot?

[shrewd apex]

screen shot

[lyric apex]

🙃who taken

[slate swan]

for that method?

[shrewd apex]

ur bot develepors page

[slate swan]

are you using pycord or something?

yes

hm, disocrd.Bot is a thing for that lib only

[slate swan]

It has that enabled there.

[shrewd apex]

idk abt pycord but do u have all intents enabled in code like discord.Intents.all()

[slate swan]

!intents this is how you do that in ur code

[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.

[fallow mauve]

ok im trying to add slash commands to my bot which ive done with many in the past and its working great except that when i install discord-py-slash-command it says it failed bcs the version im using is too recent, how can i fix this

[slate swan]

I need help with discord-py-slash-command, i installed it with pip install discord-py-slash-command but i still have an Error with the Import.
When i searched for the installation path i only saw 1 of 2 packages for discord-py-slash-command..

[fallow mauve]

im having the same problem

[shrewd apex]

are u not using discord.py 2.0?

[fallow mauve]

remind me again how to check version

@shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

do pip freeze

[fallow mauve]

ok

i got a bunch of letters and numbers

discord.py @ file:///home/runner/.cache/pypoetry/artifacts/8a/f5/fd/3bad86524984f03dbed9b681a493a9b38c68e74a324f4a81b2143086b0/discord.py-1.7.3-py3-none-any.whl

@shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

it's 1.7.3

[slate swan]

;/

[shrewd apex]

get 2.0 and migrate that has slash commands in it

[fallow mauve]

so is my other project where i have working slash commands

[shrewd apex]

don't use third party lib

[fallow mauve]

?

@shrewd apex pls explain i dont understand

@shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

yeah

sorry a bit late

[fallow mauve]

ok

i dont understand what you mean "get 2.0 and migrate"

[shrewd apex]

hmm

ok lemme give u the link

[slate swan]

Asher's smort

[shrewd apex]

since u want to use interaction u will sooner later need to migrate

[fallow mauve]

better do it now then

prob like their username

[shrewd apex]

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

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html <- updates

install v2 -> pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py (you need python 3.8 or later)

install git (if required) -> https://git-scm/downloads

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

I wasn't making fun of anyone, and stop with that

[shrewd apex]

lmao just jk😂

[slate swan]

uninstall discord-py-slash-commands in the mean time

[shrewd apex]

sorry

[slate swan]

command*

[fallow mauve]

it never installed thats the problem

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[slate swan]

🐢 yes yes

[shrewd apex]

pip uninstall xxx

[slate swan]

pip uninstall setuptools

so uwu

[shrewd apex]

:p

[fallow mauve]

oh and now i need to list intents... great i have no idea how to do that anymore xD

[heady sluice]

ew

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

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.

[slate swan]

see the code block

[maiden fable]

Why uninstall those tho?

[fallow mauve]

im just taking it from an old project

[slate swan]

that was a joke ofc

[fallow mauve]

i used em a while back... and failed but the intents work

[maiden fable]

Oh, hm

Thought u uninstalling cz they are deprecated

[shrewd apex]

🐢

[slate swan]

make sure to add . message_content intents if you need message commands too

Its new in 2.0

[shrewd apex]

just do discord.Intents.all()

[fallow mauve]

did

[maiden fable]

I wish I was able to do that in a verified bot

[fallow mauve]

also bot is at least running now, what next

[shrewd apex]

u can't?

[slate swan]

unless you don't get data whitelisted for that intent, no

[shrewd apex]

btw u know how to shard a bot?

[fallow mauve]

me?

[shrewd apex]

nah

[fallow mauve]

ok

[slate swan]

you don't need any manual stuff for that, just use AutoShardedBot instead of Bot

[fallow mauve]

my bot is online now how to do slash commands?

[shrewd apex]

wdym by data whitelisted for the intent?

[shrewd apex]

u have slash commands defined?

[slate swan]

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

[fallow mauve]

no i had to remove all the "import slash commands" stuff and the "slash = whatever" bcs i got an error saying they werent things

[slate swan]

https://support.discord.com/hc/ja/articles/360040720412-Bot-Verification-and-Data-Whitelisting

my bad, wrong langauge

[maiden fable]

U need to manually apply for intents

Discord has all the right to disallow that

[shrewd apex]

oh 😳

new knowledge

[maiden fable]

Tho u just gotta request for previleged intents

[fallow mauve]

@shrewd apex no module named "discord_slash"

[maiden fable]

My bot has access to Message Content and Members

[shrewd apex]

☝️

[slate swan]

why tf did they remove this page

it was really useful

[fallow mauve]

ik

i had a similar experience a month ago

i went to find a tutorial for cogs and it worked great but then when my friend wanted to learn they had removed the tutorial

[maiden fable]

@shrewd apex

[slate swan]

eh well this page existed for like 3 yrs and more

[maiden fable]

Prolly they broke their website just like they break their app and api

[slate swan]

maybe, im not surprised

[shrewd apex]

lmao

[shrewd apex]

yeah they just keep changing the date there tho it was April before

[slate swan]

yeah they extended the date

[maiden fable]

It is the first time the realized that their API was buggy as hell (the ctx commands part), so they postponed the impl

[stable leaf]

how can you specify server icon?

[slate swan]

depends on what you mean by specify

!d discord.Guild.icon

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.icon

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

[stable leaf]

for member is member.avatar_url

[slate swan]

if you just mean getting its link, its guild.icon_url ( for you)

[stable leaf]

thx

it doesn't work and it didn't raise any error

(i have traceback)

[slate swan]

it wont work for servers with no icon, whats the error?

[slate swan]

didnt they removed it in 2.0?

[stable leaf]

no error

i have 1.7.3

[exotic maple]

How do i make the bot create a certain role in a guild such as "Verified" if there's not one at the moment? Much appreciated if i could get some help on this

[slate swan]

they say they use member.avatar_url so isn't it obvious yhat they are on 1.7.3

[slate swan]

does the server have a icon?

the default ones wont work

[slate swan]

that wasnt my question lol

well, yes they did

nice

[exotic maple]

Anyone?

[slate swan]

All the image related resources are Assets now

[stable leaf]

it works now i messed it up

[slate swan]

yup

[stable leaf]

my fault

[shrewd apex]

create_role

[tough lance]

!d discord.Guild.create_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_role

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

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

All fields are optional.

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

Changed in version 1.6: Can now pass `int` to `colour` keyword-only parameter.

New in version 2.0: The `display_icon` keyword-only parameter was added...

[slate swan]

first use utils.get to get a role named Verified
it it exists, pass
else use Guild.create_role

[shrewd apex]

once didn't have that and i created like 300 roles with same name by the time i checked

[fallow mauve]

@slate swan does this look right at all?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os
import asyncio
from discord import app_commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "; ", intents = discord.Intents.all(), case_insensitive=True)

bot.remove_command("help")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print("Bot Status: ONLINE")


@bot.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(test='Test Command')
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    """Test Command"""
    await interaction.response.send_message("Testing")



bot.run(os.getenv("token"))

[shrewd apex]

use bot.start now

since u are on 2.0 anyway

[fallow mauve]

instead of run?

[heady sluice]

no you have to sync your commands in dpy

[shrewd apex]

have a look at the docs

[slate swan]

F , how did you manage to delete them? an eval?

[shrewd apex]

i burnt the server 💀

[slate swan]

i don't use dpy for app commands so no idea

[shrewd apex]

it was a month or two ago when i first started with bots

[exotic maple]

If it exists, pass? can you give me an example ?

[shrewd apex]

and then they said dpy dead

i stopped and waited for updates

now started with 2.0 again

ig most people jumped ships when they said dpy was dead

[slate swan]

role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name,="role name")
if role: pass
else: role = guild.create_role()

[shrewd apex]

just do if not role

[fallow mauve]

im so lost...

[slate swan]

well it was unmaintained for like 7+ months

[sick birch]

Is there anything necessarily wrong with it?

[exotic maple]

saviour

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[fallow mauve]

huh? i dont understand the question

[sick birch]

Only thing I'm seeing that's wrong is you need an app_commands.CommandTree instance

[fallow mauve]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os
import asyncio
from discord import app_commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "; ", intents = discord.Intents.all(), case_insensitive=True)

bot.remove_command("help")

MY_GUILD = discord.Object(id=981206560481083492)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print("Bot Status: ONLINE")



class MyBot(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)
      
        self.tree = app_commands.CommandTree(self)
    async def setup_hook(self):
      
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=MY_GUILD)
        await self.tree.sync(guild=MY_GUILD)




@bot.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(test='Test Command')
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    """Test Command"""
    await interaction.response.send_message("Testing")



bot.start(os.getenv("token"))

[sick birch]

And you'd do @tree.command()

[shrewd apex]

no

[sick birch]

I'm not understanding why you have both a client and a bot

If you're using slash commands, you only need client unless you're doing the whole hybrid command shenanigans

[shrewd apex]

async def main():
async with bot:
await bot.start(token)
asyncio.run(main())

[fallow mauve]

ohr

[slate swan]

and i was already losing interest in it so i migrated

[sick birch]

There should be some examples on the github for you

[thick basin]

@vague sparrow this ?

[tough lance]

If you want to do what you're doing, you should subclass commands.Bot and and use it as instance

[fallow mauve]

im legit banging my head on my deck trying to comprehend this... it hurts to think about it now...

[shrewd apex]

yeah i suppose would migrate too but i just started my second bot on this will prolly migrate after this and learning a but more started python seriously arnd 2 months ago

[fallow mauve]

no object named token

[shrewd apex]

ur token lmao

[fallow mauve]

not the env

[shrewd apex]

from the env

os.getenv(token)

[fallow mauve]

i put os.getenv(token)) and it didnt work

[shrewd apex]

instead of token

what is the error

[fallow mauve]

oh bruh

[sick birch]

Also fwiw your CommandTree doesn't have to be bound to your discord.Client instance

[fallow mauve]

my brain is dead, i forgot the quotation marks

[shrewd apex]

os.getenv('token')

[fallow mauve]

yep

Traceback (most recent call last):

[fallow mauve]

ok that worked

now in my command theres smth wrong

[shrewd apex]

i still like normal command better with prefixes

[slate swan]

bot.remove_command("help")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print("Bot Status: ONLINE")



class MyBot(discord.Client):``` why?????

[shrewd apex]

it's like u type pls anywhere and u know it's dank memer makes your bot unique kinda i suppose

[fallow mauve]

@bot.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(test='Test Command')
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    """Test Command"""
    await interaction.response.send_message("Testing")

it says TypeError: unknown parameter given: test

[fallow mauve]

no i did that bcs the server im using it in already has a bot with that prefix so to stop them from giving replies to the same command i added space

[shrewd apex]

nah just sharing my opinion

[sick birch]

I don't believe d.py 2.0 is on pip yet so I doubt how useful that's going to be

[shrewd apex]

as a link

[fallow mauve]

i fixed client

[shrewd apex]

git link to clone i use that in heroku

discord.py @ git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

like this

[fallow mauve]

@bot.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(test='Test Command')
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    """Test Command"""
    await interaction.response.send_message("Testing")

where is the unknown parameter "test" that was given?

[tough lance]

Dpy server

[wanton cipher]

I haven't used dpy's slash command yet, but I'd assume the test='Test Command'

[slate swan]

meanwhile danny getting mad for people using bot.http

[shrewd apex]

wdym by channels even bot can't see

[tough lance]

That's out of context

[shrewd apex]

i didn't even know a beta tester channel was there till a guy told me to do ?tester

[shrewd apex]

oh ok

[fallow mauve]

@shrewd apex @slate swan @sick birch my bot is actually running but the commands arent showing up on discord

[sick birch]

Did you sync?

[slate swan]

was the bot invited with application commands scope ?
did you sync the command?
was the guild id correct?

[sick birch]

Also get rid of the copy_global_to or whatever it's called

[tough lance]

If it's a global command so it might take some time

[sick birch]

If that overrides them as global commands it can take up to an hour for them to propagate

[slate swan]

😳 it takes no time for it to get added with the new api

not sure if dpy uses it

[fallow mauve]

all correct i think

[radiant junco]

do client.event functions run as a thread?

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  # does this run as a thread?

[fallow mauve]

@slate swan the only one im not sure about is syncing

[shrewd apex]

#help-chocolate

[fallow mauve]

pls explain how to sync bcs i dont remember...

[slate swan]

"discordpy enjoyer" what a cringy name

[heady sluice]

yes

[shrewd apex]

if it's synced it takes upto an hour to load since u got no error it's prolly synced

[fallow mauve]

but it should still work in dms immediately right?

[heady sluice]

not in a guild sync*

[shrewd apex]

for global functions

[fallow mauve]

how do i make it global

[shrewd apex]

idk i haven't used slash commands just speaking from what i have seen or heard

[fallow mauve]

-_-

how can i make it global @slate swan

[shrewd apex]

just check the docs

[fallow mauve]

link?

nvm i gotta give my brain a break...

[shrewd apex]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AllChannels

[slate swan]

while hikari doesnt even need guild ids explicitly

[slate swan]

do you have a setup_hook?

[fallow mauve]

yes

[slate swan]

yeah thats because of the new api...

[fallow mauve]

gtg for a bit b back soon

[slate swan]

just sync the commands in there using self.tree.sync

[slate swan]

I mean, you have to manually pass in a discord.Object for dpy and guild ids for disnake/forks..., hikari does that automatically while allowing to over-ride default guilds

[slate swan]

wait do you mean that hikari automatically figures out a default guild?

If none is provided?

sorry if i sound dumb, I quite didn't understand wym there

[stable leaf]

how do you make a timestamp?
(yes, i am dumb)

[stable leaf]

?

[slate swan]

thats how you create a timestamp~

[stable leaf]

i don't understand it

just put it there and done?

[slate swan]

yeah

[stable leaf]

i have 11 syntax errors

[slate swan]

with a datetime object as the argument

[slate swan]

you are doing something wrong....

[stable leaf]

i want to make a timestamp with datum of the day when he/she executed the cmd

format_dt doesn't exists

[slate swan]

yes that. im dumb

[shrewd apex]

u can just use datetime lib

[slate swan]

no it doesn't do anything like that
you may feel that the commands are guild specific but they are global
try it and see

[sick birch]

Do you want it to by dynamic or just plain-text?

[shrewd apex]

!e

import datetime
Tim = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
print(Tim.timestamp())

[unkempt canyon]

@shrewd apex :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

1654106016.028388

[sick birch]

If it's dynamic it changes depending on the person looking at it according to their locale

[stable leaf]

just a text

[slate swan]

uhh, thats weird

[stable leaf]

i want it on pillow image

[shrewd apex]

u can change tz info if u want

[sick birch]

Ah okay, in that case use the .strftime() method

[stable leaf]

i used that but it didnt work

[sick birch]

What did you try? How does it not work?

[slate swan]

thats how it works lol, don't you check the logs?
if they were guild specific it logs Processing Application commands for...

[stable leaf]

.strftime('%d, %m, %y')

[slate swan]

its %b for months, i may be wrong

[shrewd apex]

thats date month and year?

[stable leaf]

i know

[shrewd apex]

wait sorry

m is for min

[stable leaf]

oh

[slate swan]

oh wait, yeah am going insane, im severely dumb

[slate swan]

M is for month iirc

!e ```py
import datetime
print(datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%d %B or %b %y"))

[unkempt canyon]

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

01 June or Jun 22

[slate swan]

here

%B gives you the full Month name, %b is first 3 characters

[stable leaf]

oh thx

[shrewd apex]

there is even a datetime.date

[stable leaf]

i figured that out

bcs i had error

[slate swan]

!e ```py
import datetime
print("<t:",datetime.datetime.now().timestamp().int(),":R>")

[unkempt canyon]

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

<t: 1654106320 :R>

[slate swan]

i find this cooler tho

<t:1654106320:R>

[shrewd apex]

what's the t and r for

and y call dunder instead of just int()

[slate swan]

t denotes that its a timestamp
R is the type of timestamp (stands for relative)

[shrewd apex]

oh ok

[slate swan]

cause mobile phone lol

[stable leaf]

how can i use delta?

in datetime

[slate swan]

do you mean timedelta?

[shrewd apex]

timedelta object?

[stable leaf]

yes

[slate swan]

where do you want to use it?

[shrewd apex]

subtract two datetime objs

[stable leaf]

+5y

[shrewd apex]

how to make spoiler?

[stable leaf]

||||

text between

[shrewd apex]

oh ok ||thx||

[stable leaf]

np

[slate swan]

thats not a spoiler, thats a timestamp :p

[stable leaf]

?

[shrewd apex]

[stable leaf]

to add 5 years

[slate swan]

you just add it to the datetime

!d datetime.timedelta

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timedelta

[stable leaf]

do i need to use class?

[shrewd apex]

no

[stable leaf]

ok

[slate swan]

🏌️‍♀️ just see the example above

[shrewd apex]

i almost forgot every year has 1/4 day extra adds to leap year

lmao u pretty smort for remembering that

[slate swan]

well a day matters

[shrewd apex]

yeah i might say if someone asks but definitely won't remember to use in code

[sick birch]

Just for sub-commands or all commands?

Hm

[slate swan]

not the best way but

@group()
async def command (ctx, *, false_arg):
   if ctx.invoked_subcommand is None and false_arg:
      # wrong command

i realise that this is the worst code i could type ( based on the spaces)

[stable leaf]

error type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'timedelta'

[fallow mauve]

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)
      
        self.tree = app_commands.CommandTree(self)
    async def setup_hook(self):

      await self.tree.sync()
```?

[slate swan]

because you did from datetime import datetime

[shrewd apex]

welp i am gonna go sleep

gn

[slate swan]

gunniteee asher

[wet crystal]

await add_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True)

What is the * for before roles?

[slate swan]

night, have a good one, sleep most probably

[stable leaf]

kk

[fallow mauve]

you need another comma and space after it, it makes the following args endless

[slate swan]

basically unpacks a tuple/dict

[stable leaf]

still the same error

[slate swan]

!e ```py
print (*(1, 2 , 3))

[unkempt canyon]

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

1 2 3

[slate swan]

all these arguments are different args instead of a single tuple there

[slate swan]

show code and import

[wet crystal]

!e ```py
print ((1, 2 , 3))

[unkempt canyon]

@wet crystal :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

(1, 2, 3)

[wet crystal]

alr thanks

[fallow mauve]

@slate swan like this?

[slate swan]

no? read my code again maybe...

[slate swan]

yes

notice the false_arg argument

[fallow mauve]

bcs the command still dont show up

[stable leaf]

expire = datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=365*5)

[slate swan]

that basically is triggered only when the subcommand you provide is not a subcommand

[stable leaf]

from datetime import *

[slate swan]

@stable leaf don't you see any difference?

[stable leaf]

isee

[slate swan]

did you pass in the object?

[fallow mauve]

pass in the object... i dont understand

[slate swan]

you forgot a ,

[wet crystal]

oh

[slate swan]

sync(guild=discord.Object(guild_id_here))
this'll work

[wet crystal]

alright

[slate swan]

and please use #bot-commands for testing stuff, lets keep the chat context full

[fallow mauve]

what if i wanna make it global?

[wet crystal]

✅

[stable leaf]

still a error

[slate swan]

new code and show ur imports

[stable leaf]

kk

[slate swan]

dont specify the guild kwarg

[ripe blaze]

is there an event to check when someone starts screen sharing?

[slate swan]

if you now did import datetime you would have to change datetime.now to datetime.datetime.now

how to get user input

[stable leaf]

Code
datetime.datetime.now()+datetime.timedelta(days=365*5)

Import
from datetime import *

[slate swan]

in discord.py

[fallow mauve]

sync(discord.Object())?

i dont understand this

[slate swan]

sync()

[slate swan]

?

wrong reply, sorry

[fallow mauve]

undefined name sync

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

yes sure py Member.voice gives you a VoiceState object, you can use

VoiceState.self_stream # to check streaming
VoiceState.self_video # for video

in voice_state_update event

in discord bot

string

[slate swan]

self.tree.sync smh

[exotic maple]

How do you get red and green color in the ?

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for @slate swan

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.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.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[fallow mauve]

bruh i already have that

[exotic maple]

But in my own bot

[stable leaf]

now it works but kinda weird

[slate swan]

"```py\n text uwu\n```"

yes, and then i want tfo know how to do stuff with the message

[slate swan]

.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[fallow mauve]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

repl.it, more like repel it 😩

Ohhh

[fallow mauve]

i dont have the money to buy anything else okay?

bcs someone gave me a link to an example and thats what it showed

[slate swan]

it was discord.Client in example if you forgot
and you changed it to discord.Bot
then someone asked you to use commands.Bot

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py#L10-L12

[fallow mauve]

ok so now what?

[unkempt canyon]

examples/app_commands/basic.py lines 10 to 12

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)```

remove that command tree ig, yerl can guide you better with this
i haven't really touched the library in months

      await self.tree.sync()
```?

[stable leaf]

@slate swan when i do the time stamp:
arg1 = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%y %b %d")

arg2 = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=365*5)
first one gives 22-June-01 and the 2nd
2027-05-31 20:19:22:814542 but i want the to be the same

[fallow mauve]

ill run it

so how fix?

[slate swan]

well they are 2 different objects don't expect them to be equal

[slate swan]

yoy can either compare the datetimes of both or the strftime str kf both

[stable leaf]

but i want the to be just day month year and not year day month hour minute second and millisecon

[slate swan]

*you, *of

python isnt pure english lol and you didnt

[fallow mauve]

okay the code runs fine but the commands still dont show up

[slate swan]

strftime the second one too

[wet crystal]

Adding roles

So I have a Role Object called mROBJ and I want to add only mROBJ to the ctx.author how can I do that?

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[fallow mauve]

in dms too?

[wet crystal]

!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.

[stable leaf]

error can only concatenate str (not "datetime.timedelta") to str

[fallow mauve]

when i used discord-py-slash-command package for them it worked immediately in dms

[slate swan]

you used wrong syntax

subcommand not in

and if you arent new then...

[stable leaf]

what then?

[fallow mauve]

bcs it doesnt

[slate swan]

wrap the objects you add in a bracket and use the strftime on it

[wet crystal]

Adding roles

So I have a Role Object called mROBJ and I want to add only mROBJ to the ctx.author how can I do that?

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[stable leaf]

it is like this rn arg2 = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%y %b %d") + datetime.timedelta(days=365*5)

[slate swan]

POV: you have to restart the client

global slash commands do get registered in dms, if they don't for you, your bot hates you

[slate swan]

spare few seconds to read what i just wrote pls 🙂

[fallow mauve]

ok switched to guild, how will i know if they load?

but it doesnt show up on discord, you cant use a slash command if it doesnt show on the slash command list

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    async def setup_hook(self):
        await self.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(981206560481083492))
```?

[stable leaf]

i don't understand it

[slate swan]

I said the same thing 5 minutes ago...

[slate swan]

uh

[stable leaf]

i am a kid who just learned to speak english
i understand almost nothing

[fallow mauve]

i own the server

[slate swan]

!e ```py
import datetime
print((datetime.datetime.now()+datetime.timedelta(days=365.25)).strftime("%B %y"))

[unkempt canyon]

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

[slate swan]

best example i could give

[fallow mauve]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os
import asyncio
from discord import app_commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "; ", intents = discord.Intents.all(), case_insensitive=True)

async def main():

    await bot.start(os.getenv("token"))

[slate swan]

what if its a leap year.

the bot brooo

defined twice

once*

[slate swan]

that still adds up to 365.25?

[slate swan]

oh wait uhh nvm

ik someone was gonna ask that for sure thats why mentioned the .25 there explicitly

Idk why I'm just saying nonsensicle things rn

[stable leaf]

@slate swan thx so much

[slate swan]

yw

[slate swan]

sleep

you can always just overwrite the coroutine

[slate swan]

wish I could, who'll make dinner 😔

but it would be better if you subclass the Bot class

yep yep

[fallow mauve]

ok it runs fine but the command still does not appear in discord

[maiden fable]

Wait so when is the setup_hook function called?

[stiff fern]

What is like the ultimate guide for discordpy information and everything because I only find little snippets of information here and there

Or wiki

[slate swan]

before any events are dispatched

[fallow mauve]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os
import asyncio
from discord import app_commands




class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    async def setup_hook(self):
        await self.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(981206560481083492))

bot = MyBot(command_prefix="; ", intents=discord.Intents.all(), case_insensetive=True, help_command=None)




@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print("Bot Status: ONLINE")


@bot.tree.command()

    """Test Command"""
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Testing')



async def main():
  async with bot:
    await bot.start(os.getenv("token"))
asyncio.run(main())

[maiden fable]

So like after on_ready or smth?

[slate swan]

on_ready is an event

[maiden fable]

How do u even sync the commands before getting ready

Weird

[slate swan]

discord api is a REST api, you dont need to be ready to do that

[fallow mauve]

@slate swan my code

[maiden fable]

Okay, guess I got some homework to do on REST APIs

!d discord.utils.format_dt is better

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```

[slate swan]

both of the properties return datetime.datetime object, so use the strftime method on it

joined_at.strftime(...)

[slate swan]

dont you sync app commands with an endpoint why would a connection with the gateway matter in this case?

[maiden fable]

Uh, its been months since I have done bot deving

I haven't even read the new API docs on slash commands or how libs handle those

[fallow mauve]

how can i get the length of an argument within a command? like in javascript you can use whatever.lenghtOf how do i do it in python

[slate swan]

i think it goes the same way as for changing presence and sending messages?

[slate swan]

i think so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[maiden fable]

U need to be connected to the gateway (ws) to change presence

[slate swan]

and the message thing?

no

[maiden fable]

Messages are sent via the HTTP API so u can send those

[slate swan]

yup

the "dont do anything in on_ready" phrase 🚶‍♂️ L

[maiden fable]

Reasons I don't care about it

[slate swan]

it depends really but the worst case is just dispatching an event when self.ws is none

its not that bad its just not really recommended

[fallow mauve]

no errors but it doesnt help

[maiden fable]

Well u can still send the HTTP Requests in on_ready. Worse case scenario: The request is gonna sent twice, but eh, no one cares (at least I don't)

[slate swan]

which this can be fixed just by doing it on_connect lol

you need to format the datetime using .strftime(" a formatting string")

[slate swan]

hm , the on_ready is called after the client connects to the webserver cause i used to connect to my prefix database in an on_ready event and used to receive errors that db is not connected whenever someone sent a message too quick after bot start

[slate swan]

thats incorrect actually

https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/datetime/strftime

on_ready gets dispatched on cache setup/population

andy back me up

[pliant gulch]

Because Context type is a Generic, you can just do commands.Context[Any] as a temporary fix

Or you could use the Bot type, that’ll probably work. Since the TypeVar is BotT

[pliant gulch]

on_ready in discord.py is 100% a library abstraction. The APIs READY is mapped to discord.py’s on_connect

[pliant gulch]

With discord.py, on_ready is just waiting for an asyncio.Event that waits for futures to complete, those corresponding to guild chunking

[slate swan]

🙏

[hidden snow]

hey how hard is it to code a discord bot? how much experience should somebody have before attempting

[pliant gulch]

TLDR on_ready != Gateway connect; on_connect == Gateway connect

I feel like it was the wrong choice to make the names like this, but not a huge deal

[slate swan]

so on_ready is always launched after on_connect right?

[slate swan]

yep sure

[slate swan]

what else did i say above 🏃‍♂️

[slate swan]

*always -.-

ok mr🙄

[pliant gulch]

If we’re gonna go technical, you’d receive HELLO first; but discord.py doesn’t expose that

[slender flame]

Why doesnt this work?

[slate swan]

the id must be an int and that function can be vulnerable to a NoneType error

[slender flame]

I know

i had it with id but it doesnt work

[heavy shard]

"folder.file"

[slate swan]

you can just send a normal message if you want to

!d discord.Interaction.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.channel

The channel the interaction was sent from.

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

[slate swan]

and use .send on this

[tough lance]

Also you would want to defer the interaction

[radiant junco]

My bot is taking a long time to to start running code from async def on_message(message). I have checked the runtime of the message processing and command processing, both of which are under a second but when i time how long it takes for the bot to respond, its about 5 seconds which means that the bot takes about 3 seconds until it starts running code after it detects a message

[sick birch]

If you put a print() as the first thing in on_mesage like this:

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  print("Recieved new message")
  ...

Does that print instantaneously after sending a message in discord?

[radiant junco]

no, it takes about 5 seconds

i also have this:

[sick birch]

Did you send a message instantly after you ran the bot?

[radiant junco]

no i waited until async def on_ready():

[sick birch]

Oh you have a print there I assume?

[radiant junco]

the bot sends that

[sick birch]

And you sent a message after you saw that

[radiant junco]

that's just a command

to check how fast it is

[sick birch]

Right, I'm asking did you wait until the bot was fully ready before sending the message?

[radiant junco]

yea

i print the client when its ready

i just sent a message after that

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  print(client.user)

[sick birch]

Hmmm that's odd

Maybe turn on logging to see where things are getting stuck?

[radiant junco]

it's just taking a while to receive messages

[sick birch]

I can tell, try turning on logging to see what's going on

[exotic maple]

How do i put multiple values into a library from one variable?

[sick birch]

Can you specify?

[exotic maple]

Example

one = What im getting all my values from
for x in one:
    test = x.name
    library = [test]```

Is what i got at the moment, but test has multiple values (Words) that i want to be put into the library

[sick birch]

Oh you want all of x.name to be into the library list?

[exotic maple]

Yes

[sick birch]

one [...] # your stuff
library = [x.name for x in one]

[exotic maple]

but as words, bcuz at the moment it just does ['MYVALUE'] when printing it

[radiant junco]

its logged down the message at the correct time ish

[exotic maple]

Oh lemme try

[sick birch]

But actually responding happens way later?

[radiant junco]

yea

[sick birch]

Can I see your entire code?

[radiant junco]

but its not the code runtime because i log that

[radiant junco]

it's really long\

[sick birch]

Alright, how about just the on_message?

[exotic maple]

that worked,

role names are being put into the library

how can i see if any of the role names if the library is in the authors roles?

[radiant junco]

everything is inside the on_message

because of intents

[fading kestrel]

I am trying to write a program for my sell command in my economy bot so that when a user sells the item, I want to delete the json object from their inventory. For instance, if they sold one piece of bread and the item's amount equaled to 0, then it would just delete that whole object. Here's a screenshot:

id is just replaced for the actual user id, for security purposes.
Can someone help me with this?

[slate swan]

would be faster with map

[pliant gulch]

No it wouldn’t

[sick birch]

Pretty sure maps are slower with lambdas

[sick birch]

Probably set intersection

[plucky knoll]

In your sell command add an if statement to check if inv[index]['amount'] is 0, if true; pop the item using it's index.
Ex: inv.pop(0) and finally re-write the file.

[pliant gulch]

and even if you use attrgetter instead of a lambda it will still be slower here

[sick birch]

Are you hosting on replit?

Okay, any awaits inside loops?

Anything like this:

for ...:
  await ...

Or

while ...:
  await ...

Can I see it?

Is that in a command?

And did you get rate limited when running that command?

Strange, can you post the full traceback?

[pliant gulch]

Are you hosting this bot at all? Or is this self hosted

Mmm, it could totally be that then, depends on the service

If it’s free you’ll most likely be in a shared container. So the IP caveat applies

[sick birch]

Ah yeah I should've mentioned that

[rare saddle]

Why can't find the file?

[pliant gulch]

Ok, but considering pterodactyl, I’m almost 100% sure this is all in a shared container

If you have contact with your host provider you should ask if it’s a private or shared container

That’ll let you know for real

Or, unless they lie

[mighty anchor]

Hey im trying to make a discord bot loop through all the members in a server and check to see if they sent a message if so it prints User has sent a message and if not it prints user did not send a message. Can someone help

[sick birch]

If you're already paying for your current one, your options are much more varied

[rocky trench]

That isn't possible

Welp, must've been a weird method then cuz as far as I know it isn't possible

[pliant gulch]

You can

[rocky trench]

How'd u do that?

A for loop to run bot tokens?

[sick birch]

Maybe just create_task for the first bot, await the 2nd await bot.start()

[rocky trench]

Or Threading

[pliant gulch]

Yea you use create_task

[sick birch]

That's probably the better way yeah

[mighty anchor]

Hey im trying to make a discord bot loop through all the members in a server and check to see if they sent a message if so it prints User has sent a message and if not it prints user did not send a message. Can someone help

[pliant gulch]

I wouldn’t thread here

Because discord.py uses Locks and what not

Which isn’t thread safe

[sick birch]

Mm

That's fair

[pliant gulch]

And keep in mind the main meat and bones of the ratelimit handling system is the Lock

[rocky trench]

Since discord.py updated and u can't get messages older than (idk how old), I don't think u can do this properly.

[mighty anchor]

damn

[sick birch]

The real question here is do you really want to run multiple bots in the same file

(hint: the answer is no)

[rare saddle]

How to get value in US key?

[visual island]

x["container"]["US"], index it, no need for a for loop

[rare saddle]

thanks you so much

[rocky trench]

Dumb question, is there a way to get the key by the value in a dict as well?

[visual island]

No

[rocky trench]

I've always wondered about it and never saw something like this in basics years ago

[visual island]

There's no built-in way but you can, iter through dict.items() and check if value equals to what you're expecting then just return the key

[stiff fern]

Anyone know how to get pass this issue?

Im trying to put my bot on the cloud so I can have it run but the tutorial im following has me doin something with github but its having an error working

[keen mural]

class Dropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self):

        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label='Currency Help', description='Displays all of the currency commands', emoji='![coin](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/975905848578682922.webp?size=128 "coin")'),
            discord.SelectOption(label='Moderation Help', description='Displays all of the moderation commands', emoji='![moderation](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/971208560732164116.webp?size=128 "moderation")'),
            discord.SelectOption(label='Utility Help', description='Displays all of the utility commands', emoji='![giveawaywinner](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/970186253591011388.webp?size=128 "giveawaywinner")'),
        ]

        super().__init__(placeholder='Select Help Commands', min_values=1, max_values=1, options=options)

        embed1 = discord.Embed(....)

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Your favourite colour is {self.values[0]}', ephemeral=True)```
im trying to send a corresponding embed instead of `Your favourite colour is {self.values[0]}`, how could i do that?

[stone beacon]

Create an embed and pass it as a Kwarg to send?

Just like how you normally do it

[keen mural]

this is #discord-bots so i am significantly less intelligent than you, so can you please explain in a different way?

[brazen trench]

Is the "discord" not outdated?

[keen mural]

its not

[brazen trench]

It seems that it no longer works and you need to use nextcord

[keen mural]

no

[stone beacon]

Do you know how to create and send embeds?

[keen mural]

or you mean for the dropdown

[brazen trench]

Ok...

[keen mural]

yes

[stone beacon]

Ot isn't

Well create one and pass it as a argument in your send_message command

Just as how you do interaction.send(embed=Embed)

[keen mural]

ok but i want a different embed per different select option

[stone beacon]

Uhh

U want an embed created when the person selects something?

[keen mural]

yes

like different one for each select option

[stone beacon]

If so then simply create the embed in the callback and add their selected choice as an embed field

[keen mural]

how would i

[brazen trench]

Lol, just send embed and then something else

[stone beacon]

The callback function is called when the person selected something. Just embed = Embed(), embed.add_field(name=Foo,value=bar)
Then .send(embed=embed)

[keen mural]

how would i send the embed that corresponds to the select option

[stone beacon]

Oh I'm a fool

[brazen trench]

channel.send(embed=yourEmbed, somethingElse=...) maybe so?

[stone beacon]

Wack docs

I don't use d.py either way

[keen mural]

found a way

if self.values[0] == "Currency Help":

and so on

[slate swan]

its a coroutine!

[brazen trench]

I'm forgot

[brazen trench]

Does it work?

[keen mural]

yes

[brazen trench]

That's right. I'm sorry, I confused the libs. This won't work on nextcord :)

[keen mural]

ye nextcord is different

[brazen trench]

I wouldn't say thaq

what*

[slate swan]

only nextcord v3 is going to be different

nextcords implementation on slash commands is different compared to dpy but similar to disnake

[brazen trench]

I'm not for PC, I don't remember the nextcord version

[slate swan]

v3 is not even usable yet so...

"is going to be different"

soon ig when epic actually does something with it😔

[brazen trench]

Is it possible to swear here?

[slate swan]

is epic the core dev of nextcord?

the owner yes

[slate swan]

yes but you cant aim it at anyone and dont offend anyone and keep it controlled thats really all

[slate swan]

um yeah but keeping the chats civil is the priority

[slate swan]

I'll atleast try it

cant

[brazen trench]

OK, then I'll tell you the "Don't fuck with my brain"

[slate swan]

epic hasnt made the repo public 😡

sometimes in future

[brazen trench]

Whu do you need the source code?

[slate swan]

its not like I'll migrate from hikari to nextcord again

[brazen trench]

Why*

[slate swan]

because its not on pypi and the only real way to test it is copying the repo lol

[slate swan]

you can talk more about it to vco because hes a core dev

[brazen trench]

Ah, I didn't know

[slate swan]

its fine!

is there a list of all major discord.py forks?

[brazen trench]

Probably

[slate swan]

nvm thats a stupid question, how do we even define major

ive only seen a list of api wrappers which bluenix made which isnt only forks

[brazen trench]

Maybe they can be sorted into forks?

[slate swan]

probably only the most popular ones like disnake and nextcord

[brazen trench]

You're a genius, first you say that nextcord is different from discord.py and then you say they're the same. Or is it that I have such a crooked translator

[slate swan]

pycord 💀

https://www.reddit.com/r/Discord_Bots/comments/stjuev/which_discord_python_library_is_the_easiest_to/

i saw this and couldn't resist looking into the comments

[slate swan]

nextcord v2 is still a fork of dpy

nextcord v3 isnt ;))

[brazen trench]

Oh, well

[brazen trench]

☠️

[slate swan]

why are you on reddit sarthak😏 😳

https://www.reddit.com/r/Discord_Bots/comments/stjuev/which_discord_python_library_is_the_easiest_to/hx5fpnr?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 this comment is kewl

[slate swan]

uh someone sent this link in hikari and apparently i just opened it

[brazen trench]

code is poorly written 💀

[slate swan]

are you sure shawty😳 😏

[brazen trench]

Is this the first time I've heard of PyCord?

[slate swan]

yes very much

[slate swan]

you can un-hear it
its one of the popular forks

[brazen trench]

0_0

[slate swan]

😩

[sick birch]

I would take what's on reddit with a pinch of salt

[brazen trench]

Maybe I forgot something. I haven't coded for python for more than half a year

[brazen trench]

You're a helper 0_0

[slate swan]

a discussion between pycord is the best fork vs pycord code bad ppl

[pliant gulch]

I could pull a Rin revival out of my ass and have better implementation than py cord

[sick birch]

Yeah, like a long time ago lol

[slate swan]

andy chill jesus christ

[slate swan]

shush you never completed it

💀

[pliant gulch]

You know not even gonna lie

I’ve had a few attempts to revive it now

[sick birch]

I believe it too

[pliant gulch]

Haven’t committed a single implementation but it exists I assure you

[slate swan]

but i like it more than pycord's existing stage :kek:

[pliant gulch]

😔

[brazen trench]

Can you see deleted messages?

[slate swan]

get it done 😔

[slate swan]

sarthak how are you using emojis from another server but you dont have nitro?

like i dont see your badge 😭

[slate swan]

thats global emojis, andy would know

[pliant gulch]

I need to find motivation for Rin, after all I’m a one man team

[slate swan]

huh

the hell is that?

[sick birch]

Only moderators and up can see that

[visual yarrow]

Indeed 🤨

[slate swan]

😳

[slate swan]

thats a thing from before when nitro existed

[sick birch]

Did.. someone delete a message here?

[brazen trench]

I understand, there's just one joke here)

[slate swan]

and how do you still have access to it?

[brazen trench]

)))))))))

[slate swan]

ive actually never heard of them

[sick birch]

We're breaking the 4th wall now are we

[pliant gulch]

I remember joining hella GW emoji servers cause I didn’t want to buy nitro

[brazen trench]

I don't even know who it could be

[slate swan]

well they still work somehow

[brazen trench]

4th wall? What?

[sick birch]

Dunno, something like "I see you mods" and deleting it

[slate swan]

and how do you use them do they just work like nitro?

yep, there are only 9-10 of them on me though

so its like binded to your account?

no you just join the server and use the allowed global emojis normally

[slate swan]

what server like servers that had them before🤨

[pliant gulch]

Jets world or something

That’s one of the big ones I remember

[slate swan]

interesting

so anyone can access them still?

yea that was a big one, and the one i sent just now was one from "Love gaming" thats a smol Server idk how they have it

[slate swan]

well i just did~

[brazen trench]

After that, everyone fell silent... Lol

[slate swan]

[brazen trench]

XyiloCordFlashbaks

Huh

After that, everyone fell silent... Lol

Okay, I'm going to sleep, bye for everyone

[flint isle]

@sick birch i found that the firebase realtime databases are json...

[sick birch]

Yes, most NoSQL databases resemble JSON in some way or another

[flint isle]

ok so is there sql databases you reccomend that are hosted in the cloud?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed

[sick birch]

AWS RDBMS

[slate swan]

use this class with suitable methods and values

ah, a custom embed

[flint isle]

ok so can you help me understand how much usage is free?

[sick birch]

It's kind of complex

You'll probably want to use their calculator to roughly estimate cost

[flint isle]

which database would you reccomend?

[sick birch]

PostgreSQL, used heavily in the industry. Standard & robust

[flint isle]

there is a lot in the list when i typed database

[flint isle]

Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL this?

[sick birch]

I actually have no idea what AWS RDBMS uses behind the scenes :p

Actually looks like I'm confusing myself

RDBMS is the management system, RDS is the actual database service

[sick birch]

but yes

[flint isle]

the free dosent cover it lol

whats the one thats hosted by the devs of opera

[sick birch]

Not sure, never heard of it

[flint isle]

it was oracle

[slate swan]

Can bots send code blocks?

[sick birch]

Yes, they can

[flint isle]

ooh they have sql databases

[slate swan]

yes

[sand sun]

What are some good ways to grow my bot and promote it? I know there are people that might want my bot and I know the target audience. Just not sure how to get to people easily...

[shrewd apex]

discord bot list /top gg contact some big server mods many ways there

good morning!!

[sand sun]

I'm already on top.gg

[shrewd apex]

yeah get votes

[flint isle]

uhhh @sick birch. should i just self host my database? the mess that orcale has me going though has lost me

[sand sun]

I got some friends to put up like 30 but they go away after a few days
