discord-bots

[slate swan]

read the docs ^ and iirc the reaction argument does have a channel property/attr that does that

Ye ye i see ty

[spring flax]

where can I find that

[slate swan]

nvm, I figured it out logically, I’m sick rn lol so that’s why I can’t really make up questions

[slate swan]

!d discord.Reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction

class discord.Reaction```
Represents a reaction to a message.

Depending on the way this object was created, some of the attributes can have a value of `None`.

x == y Checks if two reactions are equal. This works by checking if the emoji is the same. So two messages with the same reaction will be considered “equal”.

x != y Checks if two reactions are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the reaction’s hash.

str(x) Returns the string form of the reaction’s emoji.

[slate swan]

the return type is well written

[spring flax]

I mean I just want to know if for this event, does it internally fetch the message

[formal basin]

Guys I’m trying to make a server lockdown command but I got an error can someone explain

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed.set_footer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_footer

set_footer(*, text=None, icon_url=None)```
Sets the footer for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[slate swan]

@slate swan is there anyway to get footer like text that supports markdown?

Reaction.message.channel would do

@spring flax ^

[spring flax]

i don't get what that's for

[slate swan]

not possible

[slate swan]

That's unfortunate 🙁

question, How would I check if the person running the command has higher roles than the bot?

[formal basin]

Anyone?

[slate swan]

import typing

@Bot.listen("on_reaction_add")
async def __(reaction: discord.Reaction, user: typing.Union[discord.User, discord.Member]):
    print(reaction.channel.name)

[spring flax]

Yeah but that's not what I want

[formal basin]

Anyone?

[slate swan]

if member.top_role > guild.me.top_role:
   ...

[slate swan]

How do I define member?

[dull terrace]

is there a way to test if discord would be able to embed something

[formal basin]

ANYONE? what do I put instead of guild

[dull terrace]

right now i can check if it's a link to an image but not much else

[odd mango]

channel

[formal basin]

No I want it to change it for the whole server

[slate swan]

your wish

[slate swan]

like member would equal what is my question

[formal basin]

I want it to lockdown the whole server

[spring flax]

Also would the reaction event for live tracking of reaction counts when there are multiple polls at once with like 5 reactions per message be bad for a big server

[slate swan]

would be tricky

[slate swan]

member should be an instance of discord.Member

[dull terrace]

how would i check if there's an image somewhere on the linked page? right now im checking the meta data for a website

only seems to work if it's a direct link

[slate swan]

set a limit for the total number of polls at a time then?

for one server that is

[slate swan]

I don't get it? can you show an example

[spring flax]

The bot is in 1 server only but 10 polls at a time

[formal basin]

ANYONE? what do I put instead of guild

[slate swan]

@Command
async def _(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    if member.top_role > ctx.guild.me.top_role: ...```

[spring flax]

With 5 reactions on each. Would this be too hard on the bot?

[slate swan]

Oh I see

[slate swan]

not really

[odd mango]

guild.text_channels

[formal basin]

Does that put permissions on every channel

[slate swan]

missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'member' ?

[odd mango]

that should afaik, try it out

make sure you have guild defined

[formal basin]

Ok

[odd mango]

guild.text_channels is used to get all channels in the guild

[formal basin]

Isn’t that mass channel permissions

[odd mango]

you do want to change permissions of all channels right?

[formal basin]

No.

I’ll show you

[odd mango]

what do you mean by server lockdown then o.0

[formal basin]

I want the bot to go on the role section then change the roles there

[slate swan]

Check if user executing command has permission to ban members?

[odd mango]

so not the channel permissions, but the role permissions instead?

[formal basin]

Yes

[odd mango]

try role.edit(permissions=permissions)

[formal basin]

Ok

[odd mango]

permissions = discord.Permissions()
permissions.update(send_messages = False)

@formal basinpy permissions = discord.Permissions() permissions.update(read_messages = True, read_message_history = True, connect = False, speak = False, send_messages = False) await role.edit(permissions=permissions)

this should definitely work, try and see

[slate swan]

wont work, iirc it has to be a Permissions object

await role.edit(permissions=discord.Permissions(read_messages...```

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[odd mango]

^^

oh wait i messed it up lmao

okay cool now

[slate swan]

@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True, ban_members=True)

I tried adding this check to my command but it still allows the user to run the command even if they dont have permissions @slate swan

[odd mango]

that should work...

[slate swan]

should it go above my bot.command or below?

[odd mango]

check permissions lmao, perhaps they have kick members and ban members

[odd mango]

below

[slate swan]

they don't have permissions. and I added a error handler for the command. they both send.

[slate swan]

should be above

[odd mango]

nahh

[slate swan]

since the value of one decorator is passed down to the decorator below it iirc

[odd mango]

check the docs

it says below

[slate swan]

weird

I tried putting it above and same thing

[odd mango]

@slate swan in server role hierarchy, put bot role above all roles

then try again

[slate swan]

I did

same thing, it sends the error handler message and the message for the command if it succefuly run

@odd mango can I see an example code of it working?

[odd mango]

what command is it? kick members?

[slate swan]

are you the one running the command?

[slate swan]

no I am running it on an account that doesn't have permissions

[slate swan]

ban members

@bot.command() async def addclient(ctx, arg1): premium.append(arg1) await ctx.send("Added")

Any who know why it didnt add the cluent to list?

[odd mango]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)
async def ban(ctx, user: discord.Member, *, reason):
    await ctx.guild.ban(user, reason=reason)
    await user.send(f"You have been banned in {ctx.guild} for {reason}") #dm user 
    await ctx.send(f"{user} has been successfully banned.")```

[slate swan]

I think it might be somethinf wrong with my code, since I tried @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True) and it still lets me run the command

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def test(ctx, *, test_name):
    global artist
    artist = test_name
    await ctx.send(f"testset as: {artist}")

@test.error
async def test_perms(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        em = discord.Embed(title=":x: You do not have permissions to run this command", color = discord.Color.blue())
        await ctx.send(embed=em)
    else:
        raise error 

@odd mango

[odd mango]

welp this one works, go ahed and copy paste it

[slate swan]

I don't need a ban command

[odd mango]

as for error handling

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send('Please pass in all requirements :rolling_eyes:.')
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send("You dont have all the requirements :angry:")```

[odd mango]

oh....

why did you ask for it then

[tiny ibex]

hey uhm can I ask a discord related question? (Not py related)

[odd mango]

yeah go ahed

[slate swan]

Because I need to see how I check if user running the command has permssions to run the command

[tiny ibex]

uhh what is the endpoint for user login and registeration?

[slate swan]

@slate swan ?

[odd mango]

okay dunno that

[slate swan]

the authorization headers

[tiny ibex]

uh alr

[tiny ibex]

I asked what endpoint

[slate swan]

token

[tiny ibex]

BRUH token is an authorization header not the endpoint for user login

[slate swan]

try, has_guild_permissions instead, ig thats the problem

[slate swan]

/auth/login

[tiny ibex]

Uhh is there any documentation on that?

[odd mango]

@client.command(name="moves")
async def moves(ctx: commands.Context, pokemon: str):
  with open('moves.json') as json_file:
    movedata = json.load(json_file)
    pokemon_moves_list = movedata.get(f'{pokemon}')
    if pokemon_moves_list is not None:
      pokemon_moves = '\n'.join([str(elem) for elem in pokemon_moves_list])
      print(pokemon_moves)
    else:
      print('error')```
this is a command block of mine
in this, i am using `is not None:`
is there a faster alternative to it?

[tiny ibex]

You both just told different ones...

[slate swan]

Like commands.has_guild_permissions ?

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

I'm dumb, ignore me

[tiny ibex]

and what are the headers passed?

[odd mango]

@slate swan, you know? ^^

[slate swan]

I don't know all of them, one is token though

[slate swan]

if pokemon_moves_list: do stuff

[odd mango]

got it tyyy

[tiny ibex]

ah alright thank you so much!

[slate swan]

I hope you don't use this information for malicious things 😄

[tiny ibex]

I am trying to make a discord clone 🙂

[slate swan]

Oh sweet

@slate swan It didn't work..

[tiny ibex]

I don't think that's malicious

[slate swan]

well

there"s probably an issue within discord then, do all the roles not have the req perm?

[slate swan]

the ban permission?

yeah

[odd mango]

no issue with discord, my bot commands which require permissions work just fine

[slate swan]

No roles in the server have ban permissions @slate swan

and the user running the command has no roles at all

[odd mango]

is it the owner of the server?

[slate swan]

No

[odd mango]

weird

[slate swan]

that's weird then.....how do you know the command is getting triggered

[odd mango]

await ctx.send(f"testset as: {artist}")

[slate swan]

Yes ^

oh nvm

i need to puke again, brb

but it sends that aswell as the You do not have permissions to run this command

[odd mango]

oop

[odd mango]

oh, then bingo it's working

[slate swan]

Could it be something how im using a global var?

[simple kettle]

Can discord bots use custom emojis from other servers?

[odd mango]

yeah its because of the global var

[slate swan]

only if they're in the same server as the emoji

[slate swan]

How do I fix it then?

no

[slate swan]

sure

[odd mango]

yeah they can, if theyre in that server

[slate swan]

no

[simple kettle]

Ooh ok thanks

Wait what

[odd mango]

my bot does...

[slate swan]

they can use from any server

they are in

[odd mango]

thats what i told...

[simple kettle]

Do I just need the ID of the emoji?

[odd mango]

yeah

[slate swan]

Savvy do you know how I fix my code?

[slate swan]

"if they are in that server", I might have took that wrong

[odd mango]

\![ducky_angel](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/640121935610511361.webp?size=128 "ducky_angel")

[simple kettle]

Thanks

[odd mango]

at this point, no idea

[slate swan]

but you do think it has something to do with the global variable?

[slate swan]

stop using globals

[odd mango]

yeah

[slate swan]

vars*

[slate swan]

I want to access those variables in other commands, so isn't that the only way?

[odd mango]

its cause of the global var, cause if missing permission error is triggered, then permissions are working fine

[slate swan]

!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!

[odd mango]

^^

[slate swan]

What

wish you could have told that earlier, I'll have a stroke now ig

Huh

[odd mango]

ash, can i borrow you for a minute? if you're free

[slate swan]

that sounds wrong, so wrong

[maiden fable]

Nice

[odd mango]

...

[maiden fable]

(I am not here)

[odd mango]

mind out of the gutter

[slate swan]

sure, what is it

[odd mango]

come at asher's server?

[slate swan]

sure

[slate swan]

im gonna kms

[maiden fable]

Those are like globals tho

[slate swan]

@maiden fable How do I use them, like can I see an example command of setting a new text for the bot.test

[maiden fable]

That is what the embed example shows

[slate swan]

I tried it and it still didn't work

client.test = "None"
@client.command()
@commands.has_guild_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def test(ctx, *, test_name):
    client.test = test_name
    await ctx.send(f"testset as: {artist}")

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

artist isn't defined.....?

[slate swan]

it is though wtf

[maiden fable]

I don't see a var with that name

[slate swan]

when I ran the command it still somehow sent the right name

Im so confused h

@maiden fable I cahnged the artist to test_name

now it sends as double though

[maiden fable]

?

[slate swan]

like i did !test name
and it sent as

testset as: name
testset as: name

[maiden fable]

what the

[slate swan]

I know

did I do something wring

[maiden fable]

@slate swan can u help him here pls? I am sleepy 😔

[slate swan]

WTF

@slate swan so it still is broken..

whats broken and show code

client.artist = "None"
@client.command()
@commands.has_guild_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def artist(ctx, *, artist_name):
    client.artist = artist_name
    await ctx.send(f"Artist set as: {client.artist}")

@artist.error
async def artis_perms(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        em = discord.Embed(title=":x: You do not have permissions to run this command", color = discord.Color.blue())
        await ctx.send(embed=em)
    else:
        raise error 

it lets anyone run the command even if they dont have ban member perms

!d discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_permissions

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

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

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

This check raises a special exception, [`MissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions "discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[slate swan]

mhm ig it is a thing

just guild base

it should work but it doesn't

[slate swan]

try this one

I have

not sure whats the problem never seen the source code either of that deco

the problem before was because I was setting the variable globally, now I am not and it still lets anyone run the command

do you have members intent?

idk

show

I just have
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True

seems like a yes

is their anything that can ignore/shush exceptions?

I only have that one error handler

because your local handler looks good to me

not sure really

Why is my client.wait_for response prints twice or sends twice whenever I call to use it?

yeah I have it enabled @slate swan

dont really see the issue tbh i would check src code of the deco but i can't 😅

[odd mango]

i want to embed a string
how do i embed it this way
like only 30 elements in 3 columns and 10 rows on page 1, similarly on page 2 and so on

[slate swan]

inline=True on the add_field

[odd mango]

you mean False

[slate swan]

I can check it

[slate swan]

maybe

[odd mango]

would it do 3x10 though

[slate swan]

try it

@slate swan where do u check the src? I can probably send u it

[odd mango]

i just know it wont, it will just add fields like that, until the list finishes, wont go to next page

[slate swan]

github dpys repo lol

i would check it im just on mobile and it kinda looks bad and unreadable

[slate swan]

what if I just add an if statement in the code?

if ctx.author.guild_permissions.ban_members: ?

[slate swan]

i mean yeah you could lol just check the authors perm or you can go to the dpy server and ask their if you wohld like to know the issue

[slate swan]

iirc yes

@slate swan something interesting, the user running the command that doesn't have the permissions only sends the message once but if they do have permissions its sending twice

show code

@slate swan I added an else statement with a print

client.artist = "None"
@client.command()
#@commands.has_guild_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def artist(ctx, *, artist_name):
  if ctx.author.guild_permissions.ban_members:
      
      client.artist = artist_name
      await ctx.send(f"Artist set as: {client.artist}")
  else:
      print("No permissions")

I don't have permissions and ran the code, it sent the Artist set as once then printed No permissions

how can I add an button to the embed that inlcudes a link to the dashboard?

async def command_dashboard(interaction: discord.Interaction, suggestion: str) -> None:
    value=suggestion

    embed = discord.Embed(
        colour=58111, title="Dashboard", description="Drück den Button, um zum Dashboard zu gelangen."
    )```

[slate swan]

@slate swan if you have any ideas can you send me a dm, im gonna be leaving soon and wont be online

[fading marlin]

interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=...)

!d discord.ui.View this is what you pass in to view

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[odd mango]

@fading marlin any idea how?

[fading marlin]

list comp ig. Add all of your elements to a list, and the enum them or something to keep track of how many elements you're adding to the column. If you reach the limit, then make another column and repeat the process

[odd mango]

okay i do have a list, do you have a further example?

[fading marlin]

is the list arbitrary? or do you always have the same amount of values in it?

[odd mango]

arbitrary, its the value to a key

as the key changes, the list changes too, so does the amount of values in it

[slate swan]

How can i remove this spoiler

When bot aend invite

[fading marlin]

the other way around, ||<invite_link>||

[fading marlin]

then do what I said earlier; iterate through your list while keeping track of how many values you've iterated through (you could use a variable or make a new list, send the value to that, and check the length of it). If your counter reaches the desired number, add another column. Then just reset the counter and repeat

[odd mango]

are there any example blocks

[fading marlin]

idk, I don't have any

it's not that hard to code either

[slate swan]

Hi, can anyone direct me to some good modern tutorials for making a discord bot in Python? Are year old videos like https://youtu.be/SPTfmiYiuok still up to date?

And is Python the best language for discord bots?

[potent spear]

don't watch YT vids about frequently changing libs

[potent spear]

what's your source on that? xd

[slate swan]

What resources do you recommend?

And I'm asking if Python is good for discord, not claiming it is

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message
and the docs

[potent spear]

Python is fine... you're asking this in a Python help server? xd

[slate swan]

Thanks I'll look into those. Though I guess nextcord and disnake and discord.py are all different libraries? I've also heard of pycord. I'm a little confused about which one is best or most used

[frozen patio]

Hey I got an error

And I have not seen it before

Something like this

[slate swan]

Hello, just wondering how i can go about downloading a file sent by the user and read it on my computer

[potent spear]

have you made commands before?

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

and events too probably, right?

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

doesn't seem discord bot related

[potent spear]

when do you want the bot to read the file?
when it's sent in a specific channel? or..

[frozen patio]

What is going wrong then when I try to install a dotenv package

[potent spear]

wrong help channel

[slate swan]

on command if possible so like !test [attachment] and my bot downloads it and reads it if possible

[frozen patio]

Which one would I ask in?

[potent spear]

alright, perfectly possible

[potent spear]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[slate swan]

yes, just use attachments property on the context message which returns a list of File objects

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=..., description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[slate swan]

I've tried to understand the documents lol but can't get my head around it. I don't suppose you have an example?

[potent spear]

#<your command decorator>
async def shit(ctx):
  # first, you should ofc check if there are any attachments...
  file = ctx.message.attachments[0]
  # file is a discord.File object, check out what methods it has
  # such as read, save, ...```

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @dusk tundra! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[dull terrace]

have a pretty basic question, how do you catch a specific error? never needed to do it before

[slate swan]

async def shit lmao

[dull terrace]

specifically this one: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

[dusk tundra]

import discord

TOKEN = "insert token"

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("{0.user} is now online!".format(client))

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

    if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Fuck off')

client.run(TOKEN)

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message

[dusk tundra]

why is my bot not telling me F off?

its saying hello?

[slate swan]

thank you

[potent spear]

run the correct code

[dull terrace]

wrong person?

[potent spear]

nope

[dusk tundra]

what you mean?

[slate swan]

do it in the error handler if there is a chance for it to be raised from multiple funcs, else a simple try except will do

[potent spear]

no way your bot is sending "hello", double check that you're running the correct file

[dull terrace]

i have different exceptions going on

[slate swan]

it totally loves you

[dusk tundra]

it is lmao

[potent spear]

global error handling is the terminology you're looking for

[slate swan]

@potent spear I have another question, How do I actually read and save the contents of the file to a variable or something?

[slate swan]

handle them in the error handler then

[dusk tundra]

if I program a bot to say hi then change it to fuck off do I have to make a whole knew bot

[potent spear]

through its methods...
await attachment.save("shitfile.txt")

[slate swan]

thanks

[odd mango]

i got no clue

[potent spear]

be aware, it returns a list of Attachment objects

[dusk tundra]

fixed it

[slate swan]

oops my bad, thanks

[dull terrace]

yeah but how would i catch the specific error would it be except urllib.error.HTTPError:

403 specifically?

[potent spear]

you should check out global error handling

[rocky trench]

What error does it give you

[dull terrace]

urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

[rocky trench]

Hi btw sniper, long time ago

[rocky trench]

Then I'd use that one

[slate swan]

@potent spear what am I doing wrong?

[rocky trench]

What doesn't work?

[potent spear]

reading is aync

[slate swan]

ahh thanks

[potent spear]

also, a file is a kwarg in send

file=...

[rocky trench]

^^

[potent spear]

the file doesn't even have to be read first...

lastly, if you were to read it, that's async

[rocky trench]

And u gave 2 positional arguments, use file.read() or read(file) (not sure about the last one)

[dull terrace]

oh you can just turn the exception into a string with except ValueError as variable: then do an if statement that's the best way right?

[potent spear]

the comments are incorrect
file is a discord.Attachment object

[potent spear]

the former with await

[rocky trench]

Wait what?

[potent spear]

await file.read()
file being a discord.Attachment object

[rocky trench]

Ah, I didn't get former. English giving me a hard time sometimes in coding terms

[potent spear]

the former = het eerstgenoemde
the latter = het laatstgenoemde

[rocky trench]

Right, you were dutch right? 🤯

[potent spear]

yup

[rocky trench]

Completely forgot😅 I've advanced since we spoke last time.

[potent spear]

💪

[dusk tundra]

can someone help me code a discord bot

[slate swan]

sorry to bother you again But how can I save the file as for example the command authors name?

[potent spear]

will the file extension always be the same?

[slate swan]

yes that doesnt matter '.txt' if possible

[potent spear]

await attachment.save(f"{ctx.author.name}.txt")

[slate swan]

ahhh

[dull terrace]

except Exception as e:
    print(e)
    if e == "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden":
        content = "Your link is not publicly accessible."```
what am i doing wrong here? When i print e i get `HTTP Error 403: Forbidden`

[slate swan]

thank you

[potent spear]

the file will obviously be overwritten once it saves again

[potent spear]

try str(e) == ...

[dull terrace]

oh okay, that worked thanks

[potent spear]

you should also catch specific errors, not just Exception

[slate swan]

I cannot get the file name to work, it keeps getting the length of characters

[fading marlin]

file = file

[potent spear]

^^

have you read the docs and checked the methods of discord.Attachment as suggested?
what you're doing can be done in 3 lines

[polar scroll]

i cannot undestand why cant i import it even tho i did "pip install discord"

[uneven plank]

hello

Hello python experts, I need help in discord.py, I want to make a command that can mention each user of a server one by one

[potent spear]

most likely, you have multiple python versions installed

[polar scroll]

how do i see if i have it?

[potent spear]

find the interpreter you're using in vs code, you can google on how to find that

then type in the terminal python

and check which version of python that's on

than make sure they're similar

[slate swan]

how would I do that?

[potent spear]

you're asking me how to read the docs?

[slate swan]

no how to do what I need help with I've tried reading the docs but I don't understand it which is why im here lol

[potent spear]

you know basic OOP, right?

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

then you should know what methods are, right?

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

so let's say you have a discord.Attachment object

this has different methods, right?

!d discord.Attachment

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment

class discord.Attachment```
Represents an attachment from Discord.

str(x) Returns the URL of the attachment.

x == y Checks if the attachment is equal to another attachment.

x != y Checks if the attachment is not equal to another attachment.

hash(x) Returns the hash of the attachment.

Changed in version 1.7: Attachment can now be casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") and is hashable.

[potent spear]

check them out ^

[uneven plank]

Hello python experts, I need help in discord.py, I want to make a command that can mention each user of a server one by one

[polar scroll]

i.. uhh.. couldnt find anything

cant u just help me out? my vs code is brand new

nvm i found it

[slate swan]

ctrl + shift + P

[digital mason]

I need help pls

[potent spear]

we aren't therapists, sorry

[digital mason]

I'm trying to display user avatar in current guild not default guild, I looked everywhere in documentation but could not find anything

[potent spear]

what have you tried?

[digital mason]

display_avatar

And anothet property I forgot

[dusk tundra]

how can I create a discord bot that will parse this on command

[digital mason]

Parse what

[potent spear]

don't crosspost in different help servers...

[potent spear]

I still want to see the code...

[dusk tundra]

if you don't ask you shall not receive...

[potent spear]

most likely, they have an API

[polar scroll]

help

[stiff fern]

Whenever I type a command w/out the proper arguments, the on_command_error event fires twice? Any common reason for that happening? I'm using cogs for this and the event is in the main folder

[dusk tundra]

But they don't want you sharing the sub

[rocky trench]

Wrong version of aiohttp

[digital mason]

How can I format it here

[rocky trench]

pip install aiohttp==3.8.0

[potent spear]

!codeblocks

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[rocky trench]

If you're on mobile:

[flat solstice]

Does anyone have a good way of listing out role permissions in a more human readable format like add reactions, send messages as so far I have thispy ", ".join( [ permission for permission in role.permissions if role.permissions is not None ] ),and I'm thinking this will keep the _ in the names like add_reactions

[potent spear]

make sure you're not accidentally running 2 instances

[stiff fern]

I mean I don't think I am but how would I check

Oh you mean 2 instances of the bot

[potent spear]

task manager

[stiff fern]

Oh that actually might be why lol

[potent spear]

what's the use of that if statement...?

[potent spear]

sharing the sub?

ah, I see what you're trying to say

so let's make things clear
you want a bot to log in to your acc and screenshot that part?

[dusk tundra]

they make it difficult to just link it there are bots to tradingview but they don't have my algorithms for stocks

[dusk tundra]

yea basically it just has to change the ticker on command of the discord user

[digital mason]

def image_from_url(url):
    return Image.open(get(url, stream=True).raw)
.... 
image = image_from_url(user.display_avatar)
.... 

@potent spear

[potent spear]

the ticker on your acc, right?

[potent spear]

oh my, lol
what version of dpy are you on?

[flat solstice]

oh I have a else which puts a no permissions found msg if the role has no permissions, I just chopped that off by accident when I copied it

[digital mason]

2.0

[potent spear]

you want the member's avatar, right?
in the guild, or just the main one?

[dusk tundra]

the bot would work by discord user making commands like !ARKK 1d

[digital mason]

Yes but in current guild

[dusk tundra]

then the bot would send that screenshot or a link

whichever is easier to code

[digital mason]

As most members have nitro

[potent spear]

aight, and why do you want it as a file?

[digital mason]

Not a file as an image

[potent spear]

same thing, why?

[digital mason]

That's just a part of the code

The image is placed on a frame with pil

[potent spear]

image = await member.display_avatar.read()

that's basically the bytes image...

[digital mason]

But it always returns the default avatar

[potent spear]

I'm not too sure if they won't ban you if you'd do that frequently, just saying

[dusk tundra]

you think that can get you banned?

[digital mason]

Is there a way to retrieve the avatar a user has set in the current guild

[potent spear]

can you show me your code? I'm not sure if you have a member object or a user object, since there's a difference

[potent spear]

Idk, read the ToS there xd

[dusk tundra]

@potent spear do you think it would be easier to link Tradingview or excel to discord because I can also code in excel

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.guild_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild\_avatar

property guild_avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Asset "discord.Asset") for the guild avatar the member has. If unavailable, `None` is returned.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

and use .read() method

[potent spear]

what does excel have to do with this?

aight, so it's not display_avatar apparently

[dusk tundra]

I can instead of using tradingview I can use excel to send the information to discord

[digital mason]

How can I turn into pil

[dusk tundra]

either way is fine Im just looking to do what is easier

[potent spear]

no idea, this isn't very discord bot related lol vinny

[digital mason]

😅

Ok, it's not hard brb

Time to test some stuff

[slate swan]

it technically is
display avatar works in this order

• a guild_avatar, if set
• an avatar, if set
  else it will return the default avatar

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/f6a74f74a7aed0879fc086805eae8873e745d0ea/discord/member.py#L592

[unkempt canyon]

discord/member.py line 592

return self.guild_avatar or self._user.avatar or self._user.default_avatar```

[potent spear]

clean line

[dusk tundra]

would it be possible to create a discord bot that on command can grab this chart and post it in discord?

[potent spear]

you're asking too many questions in 1

[slate swan]

you got the bytes, use io.BytesIO ,
image = PIL.Image.open(io.BytesIO(bytes))

[digital mason]

Will I have to await it

[potent spear]

the docs will tell

[dusk tundra]

😂

[slate swan]

unsure,most probably yeah

[digital mason]

property guild_avatar

Returns an Asset for the guild avatar the member has. If unavailable, None is returned.

This is not good

Because it means I have to check for none

[radiant junco]

how would i get a user object just from someone's tag? ie: my user object from walker#1693

[potent spear]

typehint

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.UserConverter.convert

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.UserConverter.convert

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

The method to override to do conversion logic.

If an error is found while converting, it is recommended to raise a [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError") derived exception as it will properly propagate to the error handlers.

[potent spear]

probably not even need explicitly ^

async def shit(ctx, member: discord.Member)

!shit @radiant junco
now
member = <your member object>
this happens thanks to dpy internally converting names, IDs and mentions to member objects

Note: will raise error if it couldn't convert it, so having a default value like None and checking if the member isn't None is an easy fix

[slate swan]

the error will always be raised if the argument was provided and the member object couldn't be get/fetch-ed
None just helps with the MissingRequiredArgument error

[potent spear]

^^

[stiff fern]

Ideas on why "Should print" doesn't print?

[slate swan]

any error?

[stiff fern]

Not in output or console or anything

Unless Im missing it somewhere, still a noob

No errors in any of these tabs lol

[slate swan]

do you have an on_command_error event?

[stiff fern]

I do but it would return it on discord and I haven't gotten any message return

oh wait

I guess it would be because I didn't put whatever error it is in this list?

[slate swan]

hm, add else: raise error

And using elif is better than ifs in your case

Because the flow control doesn't stop at the matching condition but keeps checking all the conditions

[stiff fern]

Oh alright I'll change it and yes now I'm getting an error, it says "cogs.general" has not be loaded

I had it listing when a cog was loaded so I guess because it has "cmds" in it, thats why it was giving an error

[slate swan]

there should be more stuff there, may k see thr complete traceback?

[stiff fern]

If thats hard to see lmk

[digital mason]

I got error

User object has no attribute guild_avatar

But I already updated discord.py to 2.0

[slate swan]

cogs.general was never loaded, and you tried to unload it

[slate swan]

because its a property of Member, not User

they are different

[digital mason]

How can i get member from user

[stiff fern]

Ive solved it ty! Its a lot easier when it tells you whats wrong with it lol

[slate swan]

may i see your code, it can be much easier to get a Member directly instead of converting a User to Member @digital mason

[slate swan]

gg

[digital mason]

Code is too long

[slate swan]

i just need the async def line

[digital mason]

I have user as object

And ctx too

[slate swan]

change the discord.User to discord.Member are you're good to go

[digital mason]

I wish it was that easy

[slate swan]

it is :D

[digital mason]

But im using a regex to match user

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.get_member well then use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_member

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

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

[stiff fern]

So I have a command in one of the cog files and it uses latency which is a attribute of discord.Client, but people tell me doing discord.Client.Latency for example is bad? So how would I get the client then because I have it inside the main file but I dont know if theres a way to pass it into other files

[digital mason]

Ok will try

ctx.guild.get_member(id)?

[slate swan]

may i see your cog structure

[slate swan]

indeed thats as easy

[stiff fern]

from http import client
from discord.ext import commands
import discord


class General(commands.Cog):

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

    ## [COMMANDS] ##

    # Event on [ping] command usage
    @commands.command(aliases = ['latency'])
    async def ping(self, ctx): 
        await ctx.send(f'{round(client.latency * 1000)}ms')


def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(General(client))

[slate swan]

self.client.latency

[stiff fern]

Oh self is discord

[slate swan]

notice that you defined self.client as your client in the init dunder

[stiff fern]

oo

[slate swan]

Can someone give me an code example of using Buttons(send through slash command + embed)?

[stiff fern]

Thank you very much you are saving my life rn 🙏

[slate swan]

self is your General class
you set a client property to it inside the def __init__ which is equal to your client
now you can access the client using self.client anywhere

[slate swan]

what library?

[slate swan]

This is my current code but dunno how to use buttons

[slate swan]

Rapptz (discord.py 2.0)

you can create a view, and add a url style button to it

[stiff fern]

Good to know ty,

    async def ban(self, ctx, member: commands.MemberConverter = None, *, reason = None):
        if reason == None or member == None:
            await ctx.send(f'Incorrect Syntax:\n.ban [User] [Reason]')
        else:

Do you think doing something like this to check if they put in the parameter is efficient or should I just let the command error catch it

[slate swan]

view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(discord.ui.Button(style = discord.ButtonStyle.url, url= "link", label="label"))
``` and then you can use the view kwarg in send to send the view

[slate swan]

i used to use on_command_error for that, its easier

[stiff fern]

alrighty ty

[slate swan]

async def command_dashboard(interaction: discord.Interaction, suggestion: str) -> None:
    value=suggestion

    embed = discord.Embed(
        colour=58111, title="Dashboard", description="Drück den Button, um zum Dashboard zu gelangen."
    )
view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(discord.ui.Button(style = discord.ButtonStyle.url, url= "link", label="label"))

Like this?

bad indents but yes

Ye not on my pc currently

!eval ```py
if 1==2:
apple = "bananas"
print (apple)

you did something like this

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
003 | NameError: name 'apple' is not defined. Did you mean: 'tuple'?

[slate swan]

basically, you used a variable before actually it having a value

[frozen patio]

Oh

[slate swan]

wtf what py version is this

[digital mason]

@slate swan ctx.guild.get_member(user.id) returned None

[frozen patio]

Well how can I fix this to get the server roles

[slate swan]

is that user in your server?

And do you have member intents

[slate swan]

your get request condition has a sql query which is returning None

[digital mason]

Yes but it's me, could that be the problem

Member intents ?

[frozen patio]

The server has roles tho

[digital mason]

I guess yes

[fading marlin]

prolly like 3.10

[slate swan]

where can I hire people for coding for me? send link in dms pls

[fading marlin]

#rules 9

[slate swan]

sir that's why i am not doing in this server, i am looking for a server to hire people @fading marlin

[stiff fern]

async def botstatus(self, ctx, stat= 'online', *, activity = 'Working'):
        await self.client.change_presence(
            status = discord.Status.stat, 
            activity = discord.Game(activity)
            )

How would I get discord.Status to use the value of "status" as a argument, because now it thinks "status" is an attribute

[fading marlin]

status=status?

[stiff fern]

Oh I need to change that variable name too

[stiff fern]

yea imma fix that

still doesn't fix the error tho

[fading marlin]

status requires discord.Status, not string though

[slate swan]

how can I Check if user running command as administrator permissions?

[fading marlin]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[stiff fern]

Well I'm trying to do the equivalent of

discord.Status.idle w/ stat being equal to idle

Unless its just not possible

[fading marlin]

wrong one

[stiff fern]

Because maybe idle is a attribute ?

[fading marlin]

ugh

[fading marlin]

uh, getattr maybe?

[slate swan]

I know of that alraedy, just is there a administrator=True ?

[sick birch]

You need to map different values to their statuses (stati?):

mapping = {
  "online": discord.Status.online,
  "idle": discord.Status.idle,
  ... # fill in the others
}

and while you're at it you also might wanna typehint your stat argument to a typing.Literal["online", "idle", ...]

[desert badger]

  File "c:\Users\idiot\Desktop\Other\Python\NcZ Discord Bots\Banana Bot\main.py", line 3, in <module>
    with open("token.txt") as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'token.txt'``` can anyone help me rq

[stiff fern]

graci, i will look up what some of that means

[desert badger]

the token is in same dir

[fading marlin]

yes

[slate swan]

same folder?

[desert badger]

yes

[slate swan]

administrator has all permissions?

[fading marlin]

yes

[slate swan]

How do I create roles and set there permissions?

[digital mason]

@slate swan I could only find server members intent and message content intent and presence intent

In developer portal

[fading marlin]

!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...

[fading marlin]

@slate swan ^

[slate swan]

what are all the permissions you can add

[desert badger]

?

[fading marlin]

read the docs

[rocky trench]

All the permissions there are

[rocky trench]

The file was not found

Is it in the same folder?

[desert badger]

look at my picture and messages under that message

[rocky trench]

Go to file explorer and copy the full path

Use that instead. It isn't in the same folder if it doesn't find it

[stiff fern]

Do I need to make a function to do this
"stat argument to a typing.Literal["online", "idle", ...]"

like a check

[fading marlin]

nope, just typehint

[desert badger]

if i use my whole path i cant put my file on my host with these lines

[rocky trench]

Send pic of both files in same folder in file explorer

[rocky trench]

Ok, are you in the right directory when running ur bot?

[desert badger]

its running one folder behind

[digital mason]

Can anyone tell why ctx.guid.get_member(user.id) returns None when intents are already enabled and user is not None

[rocky trench]

Then there u have ur explanation

[desert badger]

and how do i fix this lol

[rocky trench]

if u use token.txt, it will look in the folder where u ran it.

Cd to the right directory and run it after

[fading marlin]

have you explicitly enabled them in your bot constructor?

[sick birch]

Not a function:

async def botstatus(self, ctx: commands.Context, stat: typing.Literal['online', 'idle', ...] ='online', ...):
  ...

[desert badger]

if i run my file by double clicking it how do i change it there

[stiff fern]

Oh so I keep stat:, I was close alright

[sick birch]

I'm using the elipsis here because I can't think of the other statuses off the top of my head

[rocky trench]

cd "NcZ Discord Bots/Banana Bot" in ur retinal

Send me the path of the txt file first, gonna help me a lot

[digital mason]

Yes intents.members = True

[stiff fern]

    @commands.command()
    async def botstatus(self, ctx, stat: typing.Literal['online', 'idle', 'dnd'] = 'online', *, activity='Working'):
        mapping = {
            "online": discord.Status.online,
            "idle": discord.Status.idle,
            "dnd": discord.Status.do_not_disturb
        }
        await self.client.change_presence(
            status = mapping[stat], 
            activity = discord.Game(activity)
            )

boom :D

[desert badger]

C:\Users\idiot\Desktop\Other\Python\NcZ Discord Bots\Banana Bot\token.txt

[rocky trench]

Type this in terminal and run after

[desert badger]

in my vsc treminal ?

[rocky trench]

Yes

[fading marlin]

are they enabled in the dashboard too?

[desert badger]

and how do i change it if i run my file by double clicking

[rocky trench]

U cant I think.

Anyways, it's time for me to go to bed, almost 3 am

My friend @slate swan might be able to help you further🙂

[slate swan]

im just lurking

[rocky trench]

[fading marlin]

you shouldn't really be running your script by double clicking it, it's best practice to just open up the console and run it from there

[slate swan]

How can I edit channel permissions after I create it?

also btw @slate swan the problem with my code before was I had 2 instances running of the code.🤣

🛌

[slate swan]

I know

[fading marlin]

!d discord.TextChannel.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.edit

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

Edits the channel.

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

Changed in version 1.3: The `overwrites` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 1.4: The `type` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited channel is returned instead...

[digital mason]

Yes, I think I'll use fetch_member because I saw that get_member only looks in cache

[slate swan]

all get_* methods look up in cache btw!

its a good thing to know

[stiff fern]

So is there a way to build on mapping to assign to variables to it? Like this maybe

stat = "online"
mapping = {
            "online": discord.Status.online, "Working"
            "idle": discord.Status.idle, "Updating"
            "dnd": discord.Status.do_not_disturb, "Offline"
        }

mapping[stat[1]] would return "Working"
mapping[stat] would return discord.Status.online

[fading marlin]

discord.Status.do_not_disturb "Offline" you forgot a comma here

[stiff fern]

Well that wouldn't work would it?

[slate swan]

does editing category permissions cause all channels in that category to have the same perms?

[sick birch]

What exactly are you trying to do here? Why's it got the quotations after the key-value pair?

[stiff fern]

Im basically trying to get rid of the "activity" parameter from the command function by just having a preset one that is tied w/ the status

[fading marlin]

you're probably trynna use a tuple here too. What you've got here will raise a SyntaxError

[stiff fern]

So if the status is online, I can reference both discord.Status.online and "Working" separately

[stiff fern]

Right, I was just tryna give a visual of what I was trying to do

[sick birch]

Then in that case you could use a tuple

[stiff fern]

so would I need a different list for that then

[slate swan]

How do I resolve this?
TypeError: GuildChannel.set_permissions() missing 1 required positional argument: 'target'

[fading marlin]

depends if the channel has all its settings set to 'same as category' or the / thingamajig

[sick birch]

mapping = {
  "online": (discord.Status.online, "Working"),
  "idle": (discord.Status.idle, "Updating"),
  "dnd": (discord.Status.do_not_disturb, "Offline")
}
status, activity = mapping.get("online")
print(status) # discord.Status.online
print(activity) # Working

[stiff fern]

Oh you should just put () around it, that makes sense

Appreciate you guys 🙏

Cause I was just gonna make another list lol

[fading marlin]

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.set_permisions

._.

[stiff fern]

lol

[fading marlin]

screw that, here's the link for the docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=set_permissions#discord.abc.GuildChannel.set_permissions

[slate swan]

I don't see target arg on there though

[fading marlin]

?

[slate swan]

Oh I see it

it has to be member or a role

[fading marlin]

[slate swan]

How do I make it the @ everyone role?

[fading marlin]

you want TextChannel.edit for that

[slate swan]

Howd I do it then?

[fading marlin]

.

[slate swan]

I dont see any permissions edit?

[silver agate]

@bot.slash_command()
@commands.guild_only()
async def spotify(ctx, user: discord.Member = None):
    user = user or ctx.author 
    spot = next((activity for activity in user.activities if isinstance(activity, discord.Spotify)), None)
    if spot is None:
        await ctx.send(f"{user.name} is not listening to Spotify")
        return
    embedspotify = discord.Embed(title=f"{user.name}'s Spotify", color=0x1eba10)
    embedspotify.add_field(name="Song", value=spot.title)
    embedspotify.add_field(name="Artist", value=spot.artist)
    embedspotify.add_field(name="Album", value=spot.album)
    embedspotify.set_thumbnail(url=spot.album_cover_url)
    await ctx.respond(embed=embedspotify)

Discord Py 2.0
I get no errors but it always shows "is not listening to Spotify" .... what is god damn wrong

The Bot CANT get what the ppl are listening to

[fading marlin]

it's called overwrites

[slate swan]

can I see an example of it used

[fading marlin]

@bot.slash_command() that doesn't look like dpy 2.0

[silver agate]

it is 😉

[fading marlin]

why're you using next here?

[fading marlin]

I don't have any at hand atm

[silver agate]

what else should I use ?

[slate swan]

I figured it out

[fading marlin]

just a normal list comp?

[slate swan]

2.0s implementation doesnt have slash commands bound to the Bot class

[digital mason]

Finally worked thanks everyone

[slate swan]

only forks have such an implementation

How do I edit the permissions for a certain channel?

[fading marlin]

I think you've asked this like 3 times already

[slate swan]

I figured out how to do it for a whole category not a specific channel

[stiff fern]

I don't know if typing.Literal works for parameters bc it always returns that its not the correct amount no matter how many I type in

[fading marlin]

TextChannel.edit -> pass in overwrites kwarg with PermissionsOverwrite instance -> when you instatialize PermissionsOverwrite, pass in key-value pairs with the permissions you want to overwrite

[slate swan]

turn it on, and in ur code too

!intents exactly the piece of code you need

[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.

[fading marlin]

wdym?

[stiff fern]

async def botstatus(self, ctx, stat: typing.Literal['online', 'idle', 'dnd'] = 'online'):

[slate swan]

What is the one called to enable attachments?

add_attachments=True ?

[slate swan]

im pretty sure thats not how you use typing.Literal

[stiff fern]

How do you use it?

[fading marlin]

!d discord.Permissions for a list

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions

class discord.Permissions(permissions=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up the Discord permission value.

The properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools. This allows you to edit permissions.

Changed in version 1.3: You can now use keyword arguments to initialize [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") similar to [`update()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.update "discord.Permissions.update").

[stiff fern]

hey you got one right for once

[fading marlin]

lmao hush 😂

[slate swan]

thats not how typing.Literal works + thats not how discord.py argument parsing works

[stiff fern]

hows it work

[slate swan]

what you wanna do?

[slate swan]

attach_files is all files not just images?

[slate swan]

no no it is

!d typing.Literal

[unkempt canyon]

typing.Literal

typing.Literal```
A type that can be used to indicate to type checkers that the corresponding variable or function parameter has a value equivalent to the provided literal (or one of several literals). For example:

```py
def validate_simple(data: Any) -> Literal[True]:  # always returns True
    ...

MODE = Literal['r', 'rb', 'w', 'wb']
def open_helper(file: str, mode: MODE) -> str:
    ...

open_helper('/some/path', 'r')  # Passes type check
open_helper('/other/path', 'typo')  # Error in type checker
```...

[slate swan]

😅

[stiff fern]

Just trying to pass a parameter using typing literal since someone said I shoud

    @commands.command()
    async def botstatus(self, ctx, stat: typing.Literal['online', 'idle', 'dnd'] = 'online'):
        mapping = {
            "online": (discord.Status.online, "Working"),
            "idle": (discord.Status.idle, "Updating"),
            "dnd": (discord.Status.do_not_disturb, "Offline")
        }
        await self.client.change_presence(
            status = mapping[stat], 
            activity = discord.Game(mapping[stat])
            )

its just for this command

[fading marlin]

correct

[slate swan]

ah

[slate swan]

I dont see any for just images?

[fading marlin]

there's no perm for just images

[slate swan]

maybe its the converter

[slate swan]

you can just ```
async def command ( context, arg ):
if not arg in ("idle", "online", "dnd") :... # wrong argument

[stiff fern]

Yeah, I just thought the typing literal thing was more efficient

idk tho

ill do that

[slate swan]

it is, its just maybe the converter cant parse that type

[slate swan]

Discord.py won't parse it that way though,
I'd use slash command with choices instead

[stiff fern]

I haven't learned slash commands yet, should I just figure that out now so Im not going back on myself later

[fading marlin]

or just ```py
if not hasattr(discord.Status, stat):
return await ctx.send("wrong arg")
await self.client.change_presence(status=getattr(discord.Status, stat), ...)

this allows you to also pass in do_not_disturb which is equivalent to dnd

[slate swan]

remember that the internal converter can only convert certain types!

[slate swan]

imagine someone entering __init__, __str__ or __repr__

[fading marlin]

well too bad

[slate swan]

kek

all of these are possible

[fading marlin]

try/except then cause getting anything else would error out

[slate swan]

it would be a waste-ful api call

[fading marlin]

ig lol

[stiff fern]

Whenever I try to install aiohttp, it says its the wrong version, so I download the version it says I need and then it says its still the wrong version and go back to the last version lol

[slate swan]

ignore that lol

Set created role color and view above other roles?

thats just some dependency shit, that too with the macro part

@slate swan How can I find a certain role with utils?

utils.get(Guild.roles, **attrs)

reload ur tab and try again maybe

ill check, brb

ye it works

gg

[fading kestrel]

Hey everyone! I am trying to recreate the famous dank memer basketball work command and I need some help with the code, I have been trying to find a way in discord.py to be able to wait for the person's message, while also changing the basketball front end and making it look good as well because sometimes the basketball doesn't align with the baskets.
If someone can help me out that would be much appreciated.

btw im not using discord buttons, I am making the user type "left" "middle" or "right"
Please ping if you can help, ty guys.

[foggy latch]

anyone know why the command won't work for this?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.')

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Online!")

@bot.command()    
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong! Your ping is " + str(bot.latency) + ".")

token = 'mytoken'
bot.run(token)

[fading kestrel]

you did use

The actual token right?

when you ran it

[foggy latch]

yes

[fading kestrel]

what is the error

[foggy latch]

there's no error

the command simply won't work

[fading kestrel]

hmm

oh wait

try editing your @bot.command line to @bot.command(pass_context = True)

[foggy latch]

alright

[fading kestrel]

you haven't passed in the bot's context so its probably why it did not work

[foggy latch]

hmm still no luck

[fading kestrel]

umm

are you sure you are running it correctly? do you have discord.py installed?

[foggy latch]

yeah i do

[fading kestrel]

oh wait

I know lmao

edit your @client.event to @client.event()

you forgot to define the method

@foggy latch

[foggy latch]

ooh

[fading kestrel]

ok then remove that lol

get rid of the method

[foggy latch]

ye i did

[fading kestrel]

thats really weird

is it printing online atleast?

[foggy latch]

yeah that's working fine

[fading kestrel]

hmm

[foggy latch]

it's just the .ping command that won't return anything

[heavy shard]

what about intents?

is that entire code?

[fading kestrel]

oh yea

[foggy latch]

i just tried adding that rn

it didn't seem to do anything, let me get an updated version of the code

[fading kestrel]

intents=discord.Intents.default()

[fading marlin]

bot.event or bot.listen(), not bot.event()

[foggy latch]

import discord
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands
intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Online!")

@bot.command(pass_context = True)
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong! Your ping is " + str(bot.latency) + ".")

token = '(token)'
bot.run(token)

[fading kestrel]

then you could pass in intents as a second argument into your commands.Bot

hmm

[fading marlin]

pass_context isn't a thing, and what dpy version are you using?

[heavy shard]

default intents don't include message_content, which you need

[fading kestrel]

it does because I could access it with default

not really sure why it does not work

[heavy shard]

>>> list(discord.Intents.default())
[('guilds', True), ('members', False), ('bans', True), ('emojis', True), ('integrations', True), ('webhooks', True), ('invites', True), ('voice_states', True), ('presences', False), ('guild_messages', True), ('dm_messages', True), ('guild_reactions', True), ('dm_reactions', True), ('guild_typing', True), ('dm_typing', True), ('message_content', False), ('guild_scheduled_events', True)]

just try intents.message_content = True

[foggy latch]

dpy version is 1.7.3 i believe

[foggy latch]

alright

[fading marlin]

could you check?

[heavy shard]

oh i see

[foggy latch]

yeah

[heavy shard]

sorry i assumed 2.0

[fading kestrel]

could work

[foggy latch]

yeah its 1.7.3

yooo it worked!

tysm :D

[heavy shard]

hooray \o/

[slate swan]

it was its just deprecated

How can I enable this for a new role I create

[heavy shard]

hoist

[slate swan]

role.hoist = True ?

[heavy shard]

i guess role.edit(hoist=True)

[fading kestrel]

stackoverflow:

role = await message.guild.create_role(name=rolename)
role.hoist = True```

[slate swan]

yes same thing

[fading kestrel]

ok I also need help with something

trying to recreate the famous dank memer basketball work command and I need some help with the code, I have been trying to find a way in discord.py to be able to wait for the person's message, while also changing the basketball front end and making it look good as well because sometimes the basketball doesn't align with the baskets.

btw im not using discord buttons, I am making the user type "left" "middle" or "right"

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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**...

[fading kestrel]

yep i used that

but I cant figure out a way

to make it so that the basketballs move

and when the user inputs, if its incorrect then it exits otherwise it continues

[fading marlin]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop try this maybe

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

[fading kestrel]

so thats something i have been having trouble with

[fading kestrel]

um

yea idk

how i would use that exactly

            try:
                inp = client.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=25)
            except:
                await ctx.send(
                    "HORRIBLE WORK! You didn't even respond in time, such a lazy bum. I honestly might fire you. :disappointed:")
                return

            for i in range(10):
                time.sleep(random.randint(1, 3))
                random_position = random.choice([
                    ':wastebasket::wastebasket::wastebasket:\n\n:basketball:',
                    ':wastebasket::wastebasket::wastebasket:\n\n       :basketball:',
                    ':wastebasket::wastebasket::wastebasket:\n\n              :basketball:'
                ])
                await msg.edit(content=random_position)

                if random_position == ':wastebasket::wastebasket::wastebasket:\n\n:basketball:':
                    answer = 'left'
                elif random_position == ':wastebasket::wastebasket::wastebasket:\n\n       :basketball:':
                    answer = 'middle'
                elif random_position == ':wastebasket::wastebasket::wastebasket:\n\n              :basketball:':
                    answer = 'right'

                if inp == answer:
                    await ctx.send(f"Congrats! You won $ `{jobs[index]['pay']}`.")
                    await self.account_updater(ctx.author, jobs[index]['pay'])
                else:
                    continue```

[fading marlin]

iirc it's something like this ```py
from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(...)
async def my_task(...):

move basketball

my_task.start(...)

[fading kestrel]

hmmm

[fading kestrel]

thats my code rn

but it doesn't really work

[fading marlin]

start the tasks before you call wait_for

[fading kestrel]

so when you say

"tasks," you are referring to the movement of the balls right?

in this particular scenario ofc

[fading marlin]

no, I'm referring to the function that has a tasks.loop deco

[fading kestrel]

oh ok

like do the .start method before I call the wait for

[fading marlin]

yes

[fading kestrel]

so in the async function for the task loop should I just paste

the code for the moving balls?

[fading marlin]

yes

also, don't use time.sleep as it's blocking, use asyncio.sleep

[fading kestrel]

what does it block?

[fading marlin]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html?what-does-blocking-mean#what-does-blocking-mean

[fading kestrel]

oh i understand now

ok ty lemme try it to see if it works

for the loop I dont need to pass any arguments right? into the task.loop

[fading marlin]

you can if you need to

[fading kestrel]

i mean its mainly .sleeps

[radiant junco]

i'm not trying to get that from mention, i'm trying to get it from their actual tag like walker#1693, (!shit walker#1693)

[fading kestrel]

so it shouldnt matter i would figure

[heavy shard]

if you decorate your argument with discord.Member it should accept mention, partial name (sans decorator), the name with decorator, and i think id too

the Member converter is clever 🙂

[radiant junco]

i'm not trying to get a mention, i'm trying to send a mention using webhooks but i need to get an id to do that since mentions are like @<id>

[heavy shard]

so if you have argument user: discord.Memeber just use user.id

or even user.mention

[radiant junco]

i'm not doing a command

i'm sending a webhook but i'm trying to mention someone through that

i'm trying to convert walker#1693 to @<id> so that it turns into a mention

[heavy shard]

ah okay

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.UserConverter.convert use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.UserConverter.convert

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

The method to override to do conversion logic.

If an error is found while converting, it is recommended to raise a [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError") derived exception as it will properly propagate to the error handlers.

[slate swan]

and you can get the ctx by simply fetching any message from that server

[radiant junco]

i can't use discord py

because then i would need a bot

[slate swan]

@radiant junco what are you trying to do?

[slate swan]

why don't you just copy the Id manually?

[slate swan]

yeah..

Is there any event for bot like
When the bot joins a guild do stuff

Which server i can hire people

@slate swan , how can I copy an image link and the text provided with that image?

[torn sail]

on_guild_join

[slate swan]

Will work for bot right?

[slate swan]

You can't hire anyone here

[slate swan]

yes it does!

[slate swan]

ty

But do you know any server?

[slate swan]

I personally do not know of any.

there are definitely tons of websites.

[slate swan]

um im missing some context i guess, can you elaborate?

[slate swan]

So, a user uploads and image with a message. I want to get that images link and the message aswell

Hello

I want to get the image I attached and the message

message content would be message.content

the image url will be message.attachments.[0].url

!d discord.Attachment.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment.url

The attachment URL. If the message this attachment was attached to is deleted, then this will 404.

[slate swan]

message.content contains just the url of image or both the url of image and message?

only message

[slate swan]

the "hello" part here

so I can save the message.content as a string

yes indeed

and for the image url?

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

_ = message.attachments
if _:
   __ = _[0]

[slate swan]

you forgot to assign the var

and the underscore vars😔

phone 😔

attachment = message.attachmentd[0] if message.attachments else "No"
```? ![Kannakillyourself](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/975719421291167764.webp?size=128 "Kannakillyourself")

[slate swan]

of?

Edited

a new keyword😳

im on phone too

kek

[slate swan]

just use or

😔

[slate swan]

huh, mind showing how?

[slate swan]

that's the same thinh just a one liner

[slate swan]

indeed

[slate swan]

nvm i missed something😔

what

[slate swan]

its just like having an if-else but in single line

[slate swan]

yeah this would just be the string for the image url ?

[slate swan]

it would be an attachment object if theres an attachment, else it would be a string "No"

[slate swan]

the object would be the string or the actual iamge?

yes

you can change it to message.attachments[0].url to convert it to url

Oh I see.

its just like a normal if statement

[slate swan]

neither an string, nor an image
its an Attachment object

its pretty useful

attachment = message.attachments[0].url if message.attachments else "No image provided"

yea?

sure

would I need an event or just on message to watch for it in a certain channel

wait no on message is in an event

note that if the user would provide an txt or any attachment it will take its url then so make sure to check the url's extension too

[slate swan]

How do I check that?

its usually png/jpg/jpeg or webp

[keen talon]

||message not found||

[slate swan]

!d str.endswith

[unkempt canyon]

str.endswith

str.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])```
Return `True` if the string ends with the specified *suffix*, otherwise return `False`. *suffix* can also be a tuple of suffixes to look for. With optional *start*, test beginning at that position. With optional *end*, stop comparing at that position.

[shrewd apex]

||gif||

[slate swan]

that too 😔

[shrewd apex]

lmao

[slate swan]

  try:
    if message.author.bot:
        return
    for attch in message.attachments:
        if (
            attch.filename[-4:] in ['.jpg', '.png', '.jpeg']
            and str(message.channel.id) == str(cahnnelid)
            ):

this too no?

[shrewd apex]

just check for https

[slate swan]

🗿

[slate swan]

@shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

oh ok

check for https then split at . and get last element

[slate swan]

an attachment will always have an https though

*a https

[slate swan]

❓

kinda overkill, not sure if it works

[shrewd apex]

isn't that what u want to check attachment and it's extension

[slate swan]

you can always say protocol 😔

Would I need an event or listen?

[keen talon]

Rules👀

[slate swan]

no not that

[keen talon]

Y not

[slate swan]

an*

[slate swan]

because https is a internet protocol

[slate swan]

um? lmao

[keen talon]

Protocol means rules

[slate swan]

not always!

[keen talon]

It does here

[slate swan]

æhttps

[slate swan]

no!

[slate swan]

wat does protocol mean according to you

[slate swan]

can mean allot of things

[keen talon]

Lol I studied bout that in my 12th grade book👀

[slate swan]

I know

[slate swan]

just add another and to it

[keen talon]

Protocol is a process based on some rules
