discord-bots

[slate swan]

no

the answer remains same for all interactions

okay

[slate swan]

ye i said no late

what about this??

i did wrong

?

maybe it will help me in future

that works, for normal messages

ctx.send gives you a discord.Message object
intereaction.response.any_send_method gives you None

ohkay

thanks 👍

also dont mind whats interaction.send lol its context i forgot to rename it

[zealous dagger]

@slate swan

How can I use

[slate swan]

use what

[zealous dagger]

Select Menu

in the discord.py

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.Select

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Select

class discord.ui.Select(*, custom_id=..., placeholder=None, min_values=1, max_values=1, options=..., disabled=False, row=None)```
Represents a UI select menu.

This is usually represented as a drop down menu.

In order to get the selected items that the user has chosen, use [`Select.values`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Select.values "discord.ui.Select.values").

New in version 2.0.

[zealous dagger]

I am using them only

@client.group(invoke_without_command=True)
async def help(ctx):
  embed_hm = disnake.Embed(title="Categories",description="Please use the Select Menu below to explore the corresponding category")

  async def slct1_callback(interaction):
      await interaction.send("working")
  async def slct2_callback(interaction):
      await interaction.send("working2")
  
  slct = Select(placeholder="Select the command category you want to see",custom_id="20")
  sct_ct1 = SelectOption(label="Moderation",description="For Admins and Mods")
  sct_ct2 = SelectOption(label="Fun",description="Games and other fun commands")
  #sct_ct1.callback = slct1_callback
  #sct_ct2.callback = slct2_callback

  slct.append_option(sct_ct1)
  slct.append_option(sct_ct2)
 
  view = View()
  view.add_item(slct)

  
  
  await ctx.send("Testing selects for help command!",embed=embed_hm,view=view)

  slct.custom_id

@slate swan

@slate swan

how can I use them

[slate swan]

wdym by use them

[west wigeon]

i'm not sure how disnake works, but help commands are special. i imagine if you try to redefine help as an ordinary command group without reference to the built in help at all, it will either:
a) not work at all
OR
b) break horribly when the normal help routines are called

try it first with another name of the command other than help. async def myhelp(ctx): or so.

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message

[west wigeon]

or that, yeah.

(i've done something similar to do custom help with Red)

not with interactions yet, though.

[west wigeon]

what i meant by this advice is if you just want to see if the select menu works. otherwise yes, if you want to do custom help, you'll need to do something fancier like the tutorial linked above.

[slate swan]

possible to increase bot latency?

[loud junco]

but why =.=

[placid skiff]

Better network

Or travel to California near discord servers

[loud junco]

lower latency = lower ping :/

[paper sluice]

increase?

[slate swan]

50 mbps

[maiden fable]

@slate swan do u mean reduce bot latency?

[loud junco]

ya

[slate swan]

not increase
I mean reduce

[maiden fable]

Hahaha

[slate swan]

mb

[loud junco]

thats why im having visible confusion

[maiden fable]

Just shift to California @slate swan

[loud junco]

LOL

[maiden fable]

Ezzzz

[slate swan]

💀

[maiden fable]

Or get into a discord data center, plug in yr bot and run it. And if someone asks who's Hunter, u don't know me

[placid skiff]

That's good

[maiden fable]

Wym that's the best idea

[placid skiff]

Sorry now i have to get the location of a data center, cya

[loud junco]

but i live in south east asia
and my bot ping is always lower than 50ms

[maiden fable]

Same, the last time I checked

[maiden fable]

Send us a pic when u reach there!

[loud junco]

💀

[maiden fable]

1 ms > 50 ms

[pure crypt]

how can i make that only user’s with a specific permission can use the command? @bot.command() and @bot.command.has_permission(‘send_messages’)

[loud junco]

kekw

[loud junco]

i mean only people that has permission to send message can send command right?

[pure crypt]

i change the permission then bur for the example yes

i forgot it

ah i found it @bot.has_permissions(kick_user = True)

[maiden fable]

kick_member

Anyways

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Permissions.kick_members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions.kick\_members

Returns True if the user can kick users from the guild.

[placid skiff]

it's plural buddy

[jagged adder]

heya, atm im trying to improve my save system im using for my bot. i'm currently "saving" by converting a class instance to a json file.
My issue atm is that whenever i add a variable to that class, the save command wont add the new variable to the save overwrite.
This only occurs when someone loads a current out-of-date save. As far as i understand it, when i load an instance of the game from a save, its pulling the variables from the saved file, and not the updated class.
If anyone can make sense of the above statement, does anyone have a suggestion how i can get the load game to add the new variables (perhaps compare to the class?). Because atm anytime a 'loaded' game reaches a variable in my code that doesnt exist in the save, it crashes that instance, resulting in all progress since the game was loaded being lost

[maiden fable]

How's yr trip going on?

[placid skiff]

same goes to for reactions, files, threads, webhooks, emojis, stikers, links, events, messages and activities

The only exception are invites

the create_invite permission is singular lmao

[maiden fable]

Damn u discord

[slate swan]

view_channel

[placid skiff]

I think that they could add a method to set the permission by giving the raw value of that permission lmao

[slate swan]

in hikari you can just do hikari.Permissions(value)

[placid skiff]

cool

[slate swan]

thats the only way

[placid skiff]

lol

less cool but

that's fair enough

[unkempt canyon]

discord/permissions.py lines 399 to 402

@flag_value
def read_messages(self) -> int:
    """:class:`​bool`​: Returns `​`​True`​`​ if a user can read messages from all or specific text channels."""
    return 1 << 10```

[slate swan]

i would just READ_MESSAGES = 1 << 10 in the Permission class

[glacial glacier]

Help code

[slate swan]

my bot is working but

what is this?

[tawdry perch]

Seems like some sort of log from request

[loud junco]

it means ur keep_alive is working

[slate swan]

Thankyou

[loud junco]

np

[leaden solar]

@glacial glacier

could you show me your code

like everything you have rn

[glacial glacier]

?

[glacial glacier]

I need help command

I did't have that code

[leaden solar]

oh okay

[glacial glacier]

Custom help command can you give me?

[leaden solar]

i hope you use discord.ext commands tho

in your programming with discord.py

[glacial glacier]

discord.py

[leaden solar]

yeah

[slate swan]

!customhelp

[unkempt canyon]

Custom help commands in discord.py

To learn more about how to create custom help commands in discord.py by subclassing the help command, please see this tutorial by Stella#2000

[glacial glacier]

Yes i use it

[leaden solar]

but do you use discord.ext

okay nice

[glacial glacier]

Yes

[leaden solar]

ight so ill show you how you can do it

[leaden solar]

@bot.remove_command('help')
@bot.command()
async def help(ctx):
    m = await ctx.reply('Sent `help` to your DMs!')
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    await m.delete()
    await ctx.message.delete()

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.bans check if the user is in this iter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

async for ... in bans(*, limit=1000, before=..., after=...)```
Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

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

Changed in version 2.0: Due to a breaking change in Discord’s API, this now returns a paginated iterator instead of a list.

Examples

Usage...

[leaden solar]

this is from a discord bot i have made in the past

[glacial glacier]

How to use it give me some example pls

[leaden solar]

to use help commands within discord.ext, you have to firstly remove the help command and then make a new one

[leaden solar]

okay

[glacial glacier]

Because i did't understand that

[leaden solar]

could you show me how your code looks like btw

like how you wrote the lines with the commands functions

[glacial glacier]

Embed

[glacial glacier]

Line by line

Like catogory 1

Catogory 2

[leaden solar]

yeah but you do use async def command_name: right?

on your commands

[glacial glacier]

Yes

[leaden solar]

okay

[glacial glacier]

But maybe that not work some times

[leaden solar]

so basically, make a new line and paste this code i made

[glacial glacier]

Give me a example pls

[leaden solar]

okay

[crimson nova]

How can i downgrade aiohttp to Version 3.7.1.post0 ?

[slate swan]

why do you want to do that?

"anything about it" click on the blue link?

[leaden solar]

for example

Let's say this is your bot event to listen if your bot is online

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print("The bot is online")

(Here is a new line, which means you can put the help command code here so it looks like this)

@bot.remove_command('help')
@bot.command()
async def help(ctx):
    m = await ctx.reply('Sent `help` to your DMs!')
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    await m.delete()
    await ctx.message.delete()

[crimson nova]

Because discord-py-slash-commands only works with that version and my bot doesn't run with the latest version of aiohttp

[slate swan]

stop using that library. its outdated and unmaintained, will stop working soon

[crimson nova]

Which lib do you mean?

[slate swan]

discord-py-slash-command

that gives you a list you can use user in list?, isnt that some basic python knowledge

[crimson nova]

But how should I replace it

[slate swan]

discord.py beta has slash commands already

[glacial glacier]

I need command like that

[slate swan]

!customhelp @glacial glacier

[unkempt canyon]

Custom help commands in discord.py

To learn more about how to create custom help commands in discord.py by subclassing the help command, please see this tutorial by Stella#2000

[leaden solar]

also ignore the content of async def help():

oh

[glacial glacier]

I don't know how to use

[leaden solar]

you looking for how to make an embed?

[glacial glacier]

Yes

[leaden solar]

right, i would like to check your code. So i can show you how to use it

[glacial glacier]

Not dm

[crimson nova]

Is there any video, which shows how that works?

[leaden solar]

because it's not so easy for me to describe how to use it

[slate swan]

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

[leaden solar]

dont show the token of your bot tho

[glacial glacier]

I coded that but delete because won't work

[crimson nova]

Okay thank you

[leaden solar]

send a screenshot instead

of the code

[glacial glacier]

Can i send a image which like me need?

[leaden solar]

or no actually, send a hastebin

[glacial glacier]

I don't have code

[leaden solar]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

[glacial glacier]

I need code which work like that@leaden solar

[leaden solar]

oh you dont even have a bot rn?

[glacial glacier]

Yes

My bot is already running

[placid skiff]

It's not like we have that code

Even if someone does i don't think that he will sent the whole project to you

https://pokeapi.co/ most probably that bot is using those API, start studying and you will be able to create a bot like that

[leaden solar]

oh did he mean that he wanted the exact code from that bot that he talked about?

then i have missunderstod this

[glacial glacier]

My bot based on pokemon

[leaden solar]

the code that the bot you talked about is not easy to get

all code in public discord bots are not available for the public to get

[shrewd apex]

i think scraping the pokeapi then using the json would be better than using pokeapi itself saves some time for reqs ...

poketwo is public u can see that

[shrewd apex]

it doesn't matter what it's based on if u wanna use discord.py u need to learn python

[spring flax]

class Reddit(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.time_dict = {}

does theself.time_dict hold data persistently after bot restarts?

[slate swan]

I feel like making a tutorial for discord bots without learning python

[slate swan]

nope

it's stored in the temp memory

[spring flax]

okay - so how would i make it persistent?

[slate swan]

maybe make a task which updates a json file every other minute with the time_dict data and load the data into the time_dict on boot

[shrewd apex]

eh u prolly know more python than me ||u so smort|| go for it if u want too

[slate swan]

I'm not smart.........I'm stupid af, imagine betting so much on me

make a bot in javascript, at least you won't need to learn python 😔 that's what I was thinking

[shrewd apex]

lmao 😂

[shrewd apex]

u pretty good have confidence in urself👍

[slate swan]

meh

whatever

[placid skiff]

Ewwww

[slate swan]

javascript sure is better for api stuff

but okay

how can i set a command to say if a command is not found?

[pure crypt]

th hex doesn’t work

[glacial glacier]

@slate swan I pinged u by mistake

[slate swan]

um

[heady sluice]

just type hex color picker in google

[slate swan]

Ye

[heady sluice]

copy it and replace the # to 0x

[slate swan]

lmao

..

[velvet compass]

This should also work with 0x00FF00

[slate swan]

that was like just 10 colors , use this 😳 https://github.com/sarthhh/anya/blob/main/core/colors.py

[pure crypt]

thanks

[heady sluice]

16m damn

how can i create a pattern for my auth command, which takes 1d or 1y or 1m or 2m for example and i wanna get the time unit and the number standalone

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py

print(inputted[:-1], inputted[-1:])

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

time_unit, time_stamp = time[:-1], time[-1]
print(time_unit, time_stamp)
print(f"there are {int(time_unit)*timestamps[time_stamp]} seconds in {time} hours")

[unkempt canyon]

@placid skiff :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

        )

Dear please tell me what is wrong

discord.Member

!sql-fstrings also this

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings
Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also
• Extended Example with SQLite (search for "Instead, use the DB-API's parameter substitution")
• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

#help-bagel if someone want to help me ! ^^

[slate swan]

Oh thank you. it's such a stupid mistake it's embarrassing

its alright, you can blame your linter's autocomplete for that

member is actually the .py file which has the Member class, the full path is discord.member.Member

Oh it's hard😅

[shrewd apex]

injection attacks💉

[crimson nova]

Hi I hope someone knows a solution to this problem:
I use discord.py 1.7.3 and supplementary discord-py-slash-command. (I know, that there is a way to update discord.py to 2.0.0, but I don't want to do that) So I uninstalled discord-py-slash-command accidentally and then, when I wanted to install it again, it doesn't work, because of the "not compatibility" with the version of aiohttp. I need the version 3.7.1.post0, but it always installs 3.7.4.post0 or 3.8.1
And my bot doesn't work, because of this and I'm a bit desperate, because of trying everything, but it doesn't work 😅
Please let me know, if someone knows a way to figure it out

[sick birch]

Is there any specific reason that you don't want to update to discord.py 2.0.0?

[crimson nova]

Yes, because it's quite different from the old version and I'm not really familiar with it yet. It also always worked before.

[shrewd apex]

it will get deprecated sooner or later change now so u don't have to be in hurry later...

[crimson nova]

Yes, but I have to watch how it works first and meanwhile the bot should still be running

[shrewd apex]

ic

[sick birch]

Ah, if that's just it learning how it works sounds like a good idea

I see what you mean by having the bot be online though

[shrewd apex]

pip install using strong equality operator

like pip install xyz==a.b.c

u could also manually install their releases as well

[crimson nova]

Ah thank you guys, I found a way to make it work again

I'm glad it works now ^^

[shrewd apex]

np

[slate swan]

guys dont name your file enum.py and use typing in it or else typing will raise a partially initialized module error😵‍💫

crazy how your own file name can break some stuff😭

[pliant gulch]

Never had issues with it, and I've done it multiple times

The same exact name

[slate swan]

really? weird my interpreter had naming clashes

hence the error being raised

[pliant gulch]

Yea, zero issues naming my file enum.py

[slate swan]

odd

[pliant gulch]

switching it up 😳

[slate swan]

why a parse method? i just pass all events to a class and i manage them inside them e.g parse them

[pliant gulch]

Because that's how I'm designing rin rewrite to work, it'll be based off multiple states each with a internal queue which contains the inbound data ```py
client = rin.GatewayClient(TOKEN, Intents.GUILD_MEMBERS | Intents.GUILDS)

@client.messages.on(rin.Events.MESSAGE_CREATE)
async def message(...) -> None:
...

async for event in client.messages.listen():
...

@client.shard.on(rin.Events.HEARTBEAT)
async def heartbeat(...) -> None:
...

You'll have things, such as ```py
client.messages(...)
await client.messages.create(...)
await client.channels.create(...)

[slate swan]

interesting design non the less

[stone beacon]

What theme and editor is that?

Reminds me of atom

But the theme monkai

[pliant gulch]

Gruvbox & Neovim

[stone beacon]

Beautiful ty

Last vim I used was spacevim

[pliant gulch]

Spacevim is nice, but I always recommend using your own configs

Home court advantage, you get you know every single thing about your editor

It makes it easier to code

Can someone PLEASE help? Bot was online like 3 minutes ago until I did git add ., git commit -m "update" and git push heroku master

aint coming online

could anybody help?

[minor totem]

Hey hanks to those who had feedback last time. I've improved the sidebar and table of contents slightly since. Anyways I am asking again to cover different times.

Please take a look at the tutorial I made for interaction bots and let me know if you have any feedback:
https://wumpy.readthedocs.io/ does not work on mobile

[maiden fable]

thanks*

[modern fiber]

will anybody ever help

[slate swan]

this was the first thing(the image below) i noticed tbh and i kinda feel like it shouldnt be taking much of my attention it kinda feels like those websites that ask for your permission that they use cookies for a better experience, maybe a simple arrow with the number of which page you are on? maybe you can add some custom images in the side of the page, it kinda feels blan, maybe custom images of clyde and wumpus playing together? thats a very friendly environment and it suits your slogan. i really shouldnt be talking much as my docs arent good, but thats all that bothers me really, everything looks good.

[minor totem]

Sorry I had to put the ice cream I was making in the freezer!

I do find it weird that you see the footer first? It's not supposed to take any attention hence why it is so small.

As for custom images, I fully agree. I would really like to have some big image there but that would need to be drawn by someone, and right now I'd rather spend time on other things!

[paper sluice]

is it weird when the docs for the command is bigger than the command itself

[modern fiber]

Anybody? Bruh.

[slate swan]

ah thats fine, well i saw it mainly because it pops out from the white background and isnt quite following the white and blue theme, well i recommend you find someone that works with picture editing!

[slate swan]

not really, it happens allot

[paper sluice]

ya starting to notice that pattern quiet alot in my code xD

[slate swan]

yep

[quaint epoch]

for me it is

[minor totem]

Not tryna get sued either 💀

I would need to draw my own Wumpus image and not Photoshop one from an existing Discord image.

[slate swan]

yeah maybe change colors or something😭

@minor totem maybe this in the bottom but make the numbers centered and clickable

whatever you want im just giving ideas!

[minor totem]

Yeah sure I've been considering icons, but then I need to get that setup and all 😅

[slate swan]

Best of luck!

[karmic marsh]

Hi. How can I make it not required?

I thought it was just

async def help(self, inter, *input):

instead of

async def help(self, inter, input):

but then it doesn't show up as a param at all

[fading marlin]

set a default to input or type hint Optional to it

[karmic marsh]

a default doesn't make it completely optional, does it?

type hint Optional to it
could you show what you mean by this?

[fading marlin]

it does

from typing import Optional
arg: Optional[str] = None

arg can optionally be a string or it can be None
as opposed to

arg: str = ""

where arg should be a string

[karmic marsh]

no need to import Optional

just do ```py
arg: str|None = ""

[slate swan]

yeah but then it will be 3.10 only if you import __future__.annotations then it would be 3.7 over just importing typing.Optional which is 3.5

[karmic marsh]

alright, now I need to know how to get a cog's command description

[fading marlin]

wdym by "a cog's command description"?

[karmic marsh]

the thing in triple quotes

that shows up in the command list

[slate swan]

use the description kwarg

!d disnake.ext.commands.slash_command

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.slash\_command

@disnake.ext.commands.slash_command(*, name=None, description=None, dm_permission=None, default_member_permissions=None, options=None, guild_ids=None, connectors=None, auto_sync=None, extras=None, **kwargs)```
A decorator that builds a slash command.

[karmic marsh]

ah wait, I got it

self.bot.cogs[cog].__doc__

it wasn't working

[slate swan]

imagine using disnake

[karmic marsh]

I had the quotes in the wrong spot

[slate swan]

pov: you changed to hikari

[fading marlin]

perhaps self.bot.get_cog is a better alternative?

[slate swan]

I still prefer dpy more

[slate swan]

why

[karmic marsh]

I did a moderate amount of research to decide on disnake

[slate swan]

originality

I dont trust forks

idk why

hikari isnt a fork?

[slate swan]

no....havent you seen its syntax

[karmic marsh]

disnake sounded like the best option for someone like me who wants up-to-date features without too much hassle. Probably not the most powerful choice, but I'm happy enough with it

[slate swan]

well, that too is fine

and thankfully dpy added basic logging when using Client.run

[slate swan]

is your point saying that is similar or different i cant tell

[slate swan]

hikari is rewlly different

like completely

i know? but how do you prefer dpy more?

because of originality, hikari is full different

[slate swan]

huh? I just said that I prefer dpy over the forks if not for hikari

now it makes more sense, i would disagree tho

hm

i like disnakes implementation and helpers

i feel like dpy isnt as professional as disnake

both of them suck, that's why I use hikari with lightbulb meh

not really, the only thing that sucks in disnake is the old dpy codebase

[slate swan]

just make your own wrapper

[slate swan]

why make a wrapper meh, just implement a bot without a wrapper

save the hastle for another time

would be a pain to connect to the gateway and making request lmao

[slate swan]

that's what I hate

just use a wrapper ez, nakano

[slate swan]

requests.get("discord/api/uwuversion") \n time.sleep(69) professional get request maker

[slate swan]

🗿

[slate swan]

no wrapper's fine enough according to this channel lmao

and nakano? not in my worst senses

🗿

I'd want to try it though

but dont think itll be worth it

since there are a million others

i still need to make allot of library abstractions e.g cache and ratelimiter

yep, that's the issue, it's gonna be a nice amount of time and I've stopped with discord bots anyways

so whatever idc what I prefer

lmao

[slate swan]

just contribute to it

[slate swan]

meh, I was on a vacay, now im tired as hell

[slate swan]

😭

yor san

[slate swan]

good morning

morning, 😔 i just found out that theres a discord api wrapper for php too

[slate swan]

ofc

theres a list of wrappers for all langs in the unofficial official discord api server

[slate swan]

go back to sleep

[slate swan]

the point is. it can't have a gateway conection
its rest only

[slate swan]

why?😭

[slate swan]

im stoodying

[slate swan]

sadily

[slate swan]

i mean php can do that, but that wrapper doesn't do it

[slate swan]

sad

[slate swan]

i got an entrance exam in a month so yeah

[slate swan]

go study

[slate swan]

even for assembly?

[slate swan]

iirc yes

meh who even cares about assembly, most of people just use nodejs, python or rust for making bots

cpp like:

||rust >cpp||

syntax wise yes

memory allocation

yes

speed too

[sage otter]

Literally anything besides python is an L language

Based opinion.

👌

[slate swan]

tyler, youre a simp to python

meaning c is an L language

[slate swan]

allow me to introduce you to julia

nothing wrong with that, i am too🕴️

[sage otter]

i don’t simp language. I simp women okimii. Smh.

[slate swan]

python is a women

😳

*woman

bro its the same creature

😔

women are creatures
woman is creature

chill

woman*

[slate swan]

oh no

rust's documentation makes me wanna learn it

just learn the documentation

[slate swan]

i would like to but idk i dont really like compiled langs

i want to try out js but its syntax is something else

python gets compiled to byte code too iirc

[slate swan]

what NO

js is easier than python

[slate swan]

how does that work🗿

[slate swan]

based

[sage otter]

That’s cap.

Loop logic looks really weird.

Like wtf is i++

[slate swan]

i = i+1

it isnt that crappy though

[sage otter]

Uh huh.

[slate swan]

but is is crappy i agree

[slate swan]

https://medium.com/@dpthegrey/what-is-interpreter-explain-how-python-interpreter-works-125205c1f8d6#:~:text=An interpreter is a kind,machine language that is executed.

[slate swan]

interesting thanks

[slate swan]

i mean, i += 1 have a look at this lol, kinda same

sad c++ noises

and i++ is not only used in js , but cpp and some other langs like java too iirc

[sage otter]

Can you show me an implementation of this really quick. Idk python so idk this.

[slate swan]

!e a = 1; a+=1; print(a) #

[unkempt canyon]

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

2

[sage otter]

i mean in a loop

[slate swan]

python would use this in a while loop.

!e ```py
a = 0
while a < 6:
print(a); a+= 1

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | 0
002 | 1
003 | 2
004 | 3
005 | 4
006 | 5

[sage otter]

oh. i see now. i was having a hard time understanding what you meant earlier for some reason

[slate swan]

the second input in a for loop for those langauge is more like a while statement

[karmic marsh]

question (because I have no clue what I'm doing):
when I type

self.bot.cogs[cog].__doc__

where does __doc__ come from? it doesn't pop up when I type the .
How do I find other members that don't autocomplete? Can I write something like

for member in self.bot.cogs[cog].(something):
print(member)

?

[slate swan]

conditional

[sage otter]

Are you able to control how much it increments i by or does it only allow to increment by 1

[slate swan]

you can set it to whatever you want

[pliant citrus]

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author.bot:
      return
    else:
      if "#Selfi" in message.content:
        if "private" in message.channel.type:
          await message.channel.send(f"{message.attachments[0].url}")

Error:

If I output message.attachments I get: [<Attachment id=986051038941437962 filename='1519855918965.jpg' url='https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/98603435xxxxxxxxxx/98605103xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg%27%3E]

[slate swan]

class Foo:
   """this is Foo.__doc__"""

[slate swan]

read ths error, have fun

[karmic marsh]

I have this:

class Foo:
   """this is Foo."""

how does the computer know this is .__doc__?

[slate swan]

yeah, i = i+ increment or something

[sage otter]

I still don’t really like the implementation. I’m ngl.

[slate swan]

because that string is meant for documentation?

[karmic marsh]

okay lol

[desert heart]

The Python interpreter takes care of making that connection.

[karmic marsh]

I see

[pliant citrus]

If I output message.attachments I get:
[<Attachment id=986051038941437962 filename='1519855918965.jpg' url='https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/98603435xxxxxxxxxx/98605103xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg%27%3E]
I know what this error means

[slate swan]

this is an Attachment object

actually a list of Attachment objects

[pliant citrus]

How do I url the url in an object? (Maybe a stupid question, I'm sorry)

[<Attachment id=986051038941437962 filename='1519855918965.jpg' --**url='https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/98603435xxxxxxxxxx/98605103xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg'> **]

[slate swan]

if you want the url only you would use the attribute

!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.

[pliant citrus]

ok

[indigo pilot]

how do i remove a view from a message when i edit a message?

ex sending a message with a view then editing it, to remove the view

set the view kwarg to None

[stray adder]

Hey anyone help me

Iam trying to add a cmmd to ban members and admins

Members cmmd is working but admin command not working showing error when running

[slate swan]

hello👋

[stray adder]

''' Module 'discord' has no attribute admin '''

[slate swan]

ye it doesnt have

can u show code

[slate swan]

u cant ban owner 😑

[stray adder]

Can u help

[stray adder]

Not owner just admins

[slate swan]

change the discord.owner -> discord.Member

[stray adder]

Ok

Ok i changed

[stray adder]

Thanks bro now it's working 🙏

[slate swan]

👍

[stray adder]

bruh

why does this have to be in the one place where it won't work

@commands.slash_command()
    async def cog(self, inter, module: str = commands.Param(name="Cog", choices=[self.bot.cogs])):

the last self is invalid

what can I do?

[glacial glacier]

I need catogory command

[slate swan]

thats not how functions in python work

[karmic marsh]

I know lmao

[slate swan]

you cant access an argument in another argument

[karmic marsh]

that's the problem

[slate swan]

you can do that statically, or maybe use an autocomplete

[stray adder]

Thanks bro help cmmd is working now

[karmic marsh]

what do you mean by that?

using an autocomplete, I mean

[slate swan]

either write the choices manually, or use autocomplete

[karmic marsh]

I just don't know what you mean by the autocomplete

[slate swan]

eh wait

you could have just return self.bot.cogs.items()

nah, throws some funky errors

[slate swan]

notice the .items() 🤡

[slate swan]

code?

[karmic marsh]

literally word for word I put

return self.bot.cogs.items()

anyway this works:

return list(self.bot.cogs)

[slate swan]

my bad, needs to be key lol

[glacial glacier]

I need catogory command

[karmic marsh]

clarify your question

[short silo]

is there a way to restrict the users who can use the slash command, or that needs to be checked inside the function ?

[slate swan]

permission v2 allows that in your server settings

[short silo]

for a particular command i mean, guess its the latter then ?

[slate swan]

for a particular command, yes

the server integrations' permission settings allow that

[short silo]

i see, thanks

[pearl fjord]

how do i check what permissions the bot has and make a new role with the same permissions?

[heavy folio]

!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...

[heavy folio]

!d discord.Member.guild_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild\_permissions

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

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

This does take into consideration guild ownership, the administrator implication, and whether the member is timed out.

Changed in version 2.0: Member timeouts are taken into consideration.

[heavy folio]

so like ```py
await create_role(
name=...,
permissions=member.guild_permissions
)

[pearl fjord]

and member is the bot?

[heavy folio]

ah right

!d discord.Guild.me

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.me

property me```
Similar to [`Client.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.user "discord.Client.user") except an instance of [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member"). This is essentially used to get the member version of yourself.

[heavy folio]

this is a Member instance of your bot

[rain olive]

that's the Class

[heavy folio]

i mean... guild.me

[pearl fjord]

so permissions=guild.me.guild_permissions?

[heavy folio]

yeah

[pearl fjord]

thanks

ill test it

[rain olive]

that's given that guild is an instance of discord.Guild

[lyric apex]

How to bypass if statement for guild owner?

[pearl fjord]

it didnt work, 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'guild_permissions'

yea thats how discord.py works

its not hard to make a nuke

!d discord.Client.fetch_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.fetch\_guild

await fetch_guild(guild_id, /, *, with_counts=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Retrieves a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") from an ID.

Note

Using this, you will **not** receive [`Guild.channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.channels "discord.Guild.channels"), [`Guild.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.members "discord.Guild.members"), [`Member.activity`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.activity "discord.Member.activity") and [`Member.voice`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.voice "discord.Member.voice") per [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member").

Note

This method is an API call. For general usage, consider [`get_guild()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.get_guild "discord.Client.get_guild") instead...

How to make a error like that a wrong command do P!help for see all commands

[sonic flax]

How would I make it so if a user did .ban for example, instead of using context, it would display a help command showing them what they need to put to make the command work

[short silo]

What might i be doing wrong, other than the 'description' lol.

Object of type SelectOption is not JSON Serializable.

[placid skiff]

depends if you wanna do it only for that command or for every command of your bot

[sonic flax]

what does bpt mean

[placid skiff]

You can do that only for a specific command or you can do that for every commands that your bot has, it depends on you

[short silo]

👀

[dim sentinel]

how can i host my bot for free any other alternatives than heroku please

[placid skiff]

host it on your pc

[dim sentinel]

well am doing that rn

but need it to be on a website

[slate swan]

it should be disnake.Option not disnake.SelectOption

[short silo]

whats the problem with heroku tho

[dim sentinel]

can't set up git properly

[slate swan]

check pins in #965291480992321536

[placid skiff]

There are no free host service which guarantee a good service

so buy a VPS

[short silo]

i see

[slate swan]

if you have a credit card you can get free micros from aws or Google cloud free fkr a year

[vale wing]

I see this method for the first time. Isn't it supposed to be

need: str = commands.Param(choices=options_for_el, description="choose one")```

I might be wrong, haven't ever seen the method you use

[short silo]

OptionChoice was the correct thing, SelectOption was wrong as sarth said above

[vale wing]

!d disnake.OptionChoice

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.OptionChoice

class disnake.OptionChoice```
Represents an option choice.

[short silo]

i had tried that i think some days back, didnt work well for me

[vale wing]

Ok

I just typehint with enum 😉

Cause I don't need long texts as option choices

[short silo]

how would typehinting help

[vale wing]

You might have actually typehinted with commands.Param and not set it to default value, that's a common mistake most people can't recognise

[short silo]

do you mind explaining a bit

[vale wing]

Might is usable for past tense right

[short silo]

yeah

[vale wing]

from enum import Enum

class SomeChoice(Enum):
    one = 1
    two = 2
    amo = 69

...
async def nice_cmd(inter, choice: SomeChoice):
    choice = SomeChoice(choice)  # iirc it won't give the enum itself but the value of an enum, so if you really need the enum you can get it from value. In the options the names of the enums will be displayed```

[short silo]

oh

[vale wing]

def cmd(yes: int)  # typehint
def cmd(yes = 20)  # default value
def cmd(yes: int = 20)  # typehint + default value```

I understand, thanks for the explaination

can i keep different prefixes for different cogs?

[slate swan]

you mean in the cache?
yes the members get added/updated to the cache by discord.py internals until you have member intents

and your memory doesn't creates an issue

Custom help commands in discord.py

To learn more about how to create custom help commands in discord.py by subclassing the help command, please see this tutorial by Stella#2000

[glacial glacier]

Just tell me whats wrong?

@slate swan

[paper sluice]

ur await message.channel.send(embed=embed) is outside the function

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[glacial glacier]

How to fix it?

I want to change the embed of discord message after I send it

How can I do so

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

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

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

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

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

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.10)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[placid skiff]

you set again the embed here as the parameter after you've modified it

[zealous dagger]

[placid skiff]

Well it's not like you will have a prefix for every cog, you would change the command prefix everytime a cog command is casted

[glacial glacier]

Return?

[slate swan]

wdym

[slate swan]

whats the error

[desert cosmos]

how do we end await wdym

[glacial glacier]

await message.channel.send(embed=embed)

Thats wrong telling

[glacial glacier]

Thats telling outside funtion

[desert cosmos]

maybe because of indentations

[placid skiff]

Bruh do you want an hint?
Learn python, you can't use d.py if you don't know python syntax and OOP concepts

[slate swan]

Yes put it inside

[desert cosmos]

ok how ?

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[desert cosmos]

i can 't do it using that command prefix function right cuz it has nothing to do with command invocation

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command\_prefix

The command prefix is what the message content must contain initially to have a command invoked. This prefix could either be a string to indicate what the prefix should be, or a callable that takes in the bot as its first parameter and discord.Message as its second parameter and returns the prefix. This is to facilitate “dynamic” command prefixes. This callable can be either a regular function or a coroutine.

An empty string as the prefix always matches, enabling prefix-less command invocation. While this may be useful in DMs it should be avoided in servers, as it’s likely to cause performance issues and unintended command invocations.

[zealous dagger]

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

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

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

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

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

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.10)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[zealous dagger]

How can I use this command

any example

I want to change the embed of discord message after I send it

[desert cosmos]

right after you send it ? i mean in the same command ?

[zealous dagger]

Yup

[glacial glacier]

.

[cerulean osprey]

This is an indent issue lmfao

In this case embedVar.add_field(name="name1",value="value1", inline=False) is outside the if statement

[desert cosmos]

msg = await ctx.send("hello")
await msg.edit(content = "hi")

[zealous dagger]

ok

but I am

not storing my await ctx.send in a var

[desert cosmos]

you mean you want to edit in other command invocation ?

[zealous dagger]

yup

[desert cosmos]

for that you can have a workaround like saving the message as bot attribute but i don't think that is a good way to do

async def cmd1(self, ctx):
  self.todelete = await ctx.send("hello")
 
async def cmd2(self, ctx):
  if hasattr(self, "todelete"):
    await self.todelete.edit() 

you can also do it using fetch message

ughh

[cerulean osprey]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[cerulean osprey]

That one?

[desert cosmos]

yup

but it will only work in channel your command is called from

iirc

[cerulean osprey]

Idk, I actually came here to ask a question tho, is there a way to check for a reply ping?

[paper sluice]

i would imagine something like a try-finally or a contextmanager for specific commands where u set prefix to something, and finally set it back to default

[zealous dagger]

Ok

my problem is solved

[paper sluice]

ns

[zealous dagger]

but I don't know why

this is showing

an error

in discord

I made a callback

[paper sluice]

show code

[zealous dagger]

Sure

async def btn_callback(interaction):

    await send.edit(embed=embed_hm)

This is the callback for button

[desert cosmos]

i don't know how to dynamically change bot prefix
besides that if you are saying to do so in a cog
won't it be a trouble to get the command be invoked ?

[paper sluice]

u need to hook the callback to the option as well, like <ur ui object>.callback = btn_callback

[zealous dagger]

This is the callback for select menu

async def slct_callback(interaction):
    if select.values[0] == "Music":
      await send.edit(embed=embed_hm_music)
    elif select.values[0] == "Fun":
      await send.edit(embed=embed_hm_fun)

[paper sluice]

ya thats the problem, for the cm to work the command has to be invoked first, or you could overwrite the default thing for invoking the command. But that seems ** A LOT ** of work

[zealous dagger]

You mean this

[desert cosmos]

sadly

[zealous dagger]

btn_back.callback = btn_callback
  
select.callback = slct_callback

[paper sluice]

ya, can u show the whole command at once, its hard to keep track of the order

!paste if too long

[zealous dagger]

Ok

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[desert cosmos]

i don't think i am proficient enough to do that :/

[zealous dagger]

I will delete the code after my problem is fixed

Is that ok @paper sluice

[slate swan]

do you use strip_after_prefix?

[desert cosmos]

no

[paper sluice]

ya? idc

[slate swan]

indeed, just overriding the get_prefix works

[slate swan]

cool, lemme write some pseudocode

[desert cosmos]

alr

[zealous dagger]

[desert cosmos]

there must be some error in terminal ?

[zealous dagger]

nope

all clear

all I see is this error in discord

@desert cosmos

[desert cosmos]

not in discord

in terminal where your code is running

there must be some error

[zealous dagger]

no error

[paper sluice]

use interaction.response instead of editing send

!d disnake.InteractionResponse

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.InteractionResponse

class disnake.InteractionResponse```
Represents a Discord interaction response.

This type can be accessed through [`Interaction.response`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Interaction.response "disnake.Interaction.response").

New in version 2.0.

[paper sluice]

interaction.response calls InteractionResponse

and embed_hm_fun is an empty embed, so that might cause it to not send

[paper sluice]

do you have an error handler?

[slate swan]

@desert cosmos i got it working this way, ofcourse thats too basic and you can make your own improvements.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/udivabugiw

i noticed that this only works for command names and not aliases but you can modify it
and its disnake, but in case you use any other library, the way still remains same

!sql-fstrings

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings
Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

[frigid apex]

someone has experience with twitchIO?

[slate swan]

which one to remove?

[heavy folio]

uninstall discord-components

[dull terrace]

The bug on my bots verification is finally fixed by discord but it took 3 weeks so now it's off all of the new pages and it never grew enough to reach the top pages

gonna have to drop money on ads to stand any chance now

[slate swan]

(((

oh yeah andyou need message_content intents for 2.0

[slate swan]

||HIKARI exists||

[heavy folio]

fr, either dpy or hikari 🗿

im interested in nextcord v3 too, but I won't be using it anyways

[dull terrace]

are you telling me to get forked

[shrewd apex]

🍴

[dull terrace]

disnake is pretty good

[heady sluice]

forks aren't as bad as 3rd party libs...

[dull terrace]

i needed a bunch of stuff discord.py didn't have yet

[sonic flax]

token = os.getenv(DC_TOKEN)
NameError: name ‘DC_TOKEN’ is not defined

i have a folder called .env with my discord token called DC_TOKEN thi

[shrewd apex]

load the env folder first

[heady sluice]

use strings

[shrewd apex]

pip install python-dotenv then from dotenv import load_dotenv

[sonic flax]

how im using pebble host

[shrewd apex]

they should have some environment variables

[glacial glacier]

I have maked a pokemon bot

[shrewd apex]

put ur token there

[glacial glacier]

[shrewd apex]

🎉

[heady sluice]

use strings...

[dull terrace]

gratz but also why

[shrewd apex]

thatt too

[sonic flax]

Where do i find theirs

[heady sluice]

that's like the only problem

[shrewd apex]

bruh let the guy be happy

[sonic flax]

so token = str(token)?

[dull terrace]

sorry

[shrewd apex]

he worked all morning

[heady sluice]

token = os.getenv("DC_TOKEN")

[sonic flax]

It says Improper Token has been passed now

[heady sluice]

you store a wrong token in the env or it returned None

[sonic flax]

i did token = 45.)/$;$::727:7;/$hsjshdsi

but instead of the spam it was my tolen

do i need to make it a string too

[heady sluice]

if you did that in code, yes

it has to be a string

[heady sluice]

it says it, go to discord.com/developers and enable the intents you're requesting

[sonic flax]

i just made it DC_TOKEN = “x”

and it still doesn’t work

[heady sluice]

try printing token

see what it is

[slate swan]

What to include?

[heady sluice]

what you request

[slate swan]

@sonic flax

oop i pinged asher too ig, sorry for da ping

[merry cliff]

and make sure you also request it in the code

[shrewd apex]

ah np

[merry cliff]

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

if you wanted to add the members intent for example

[shrewd apex]

just do .all() saves some trouble for beginners

I need help how to add a image in the end of command?

[merry cliff]

also a way

[slate swan]

Dear, I did not quite understand what I need to do?

[sonic flax]

How do i do that on pebblehost

[shrewd apex]

u enable all the intents in ur dev page

[sonic flax]

dc_token not defined

and token = none

[shrewd apex]

then in code do

intents=discord.Intents.all()

[heady sluice]

print(token)

[shrewd apex]

he dosent have token set in env how will it work

[heady sluice]

what

[merry cliff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/648767716681056258.gif?size=48&quality=lossless

[heady sluice]

he saved it to token in code

[merry cliff]

oh

[slate swan]

Now he writes

[shrewd apex]

then he didn't load the env file

[sonic flax]

In replit my environmental variables worked

[sonic flax]

How do i load it what

[shrewd apex]

but when u host ur bot they create their own venv generally heroku does atleast

so they would have a place for storing env variables for heroku it's in settings -> config var

[shrewd apex]

idk pebble host never used

[shrewd apex]

in dpy 2.0 cog loading is now async

async def setup(bot):
     await bot.add_cog(cog)

[merry cliff]

I use vultr to host bots

bc u can pipeline

[sonic flax]

Do i use heroku then

[shrewd apex]

use load_dotenv()

like i said b4

[merry cliff]

load_dotenv()
TOKEN = os.getenv("TOKEN")```

[sonic flax]

ok

[merry cliff]

or whatever your name is in the .env file

[shrewd apex]

in load dotenv ur file path goes

[merry cliff]

make sure to import os

[shrewd apex]

to env file

[slate swan]

add python-dotenv to requirements.txt

[shrewd apex]

that too

[sonic flax]

do i just type python-dotenv there

[shrewd apex]

...

[merry cliff]

lol

[shrewd apex]

pip install python-dotenv

then do pip freeze

se which version was installed

then copy paste that part in the txt

[sonic flax]

This?

[shrewd apex]

💀

[merry cliff]

noooo

install it first

then cop paste the list

[shrewd apex]

i bet 5 bucks he gonna ask where next

[slate swan]

remove the pip install

[sonic flax]

python-dotenv==0.20.0

[shrewd apex]

👍

put that instead of pip install

[merry cliff]

yay

[slate swan]

most petrodactyl hosts trigger requirements.txt automatically on runtime, so you don't need to run the pip command yourself

[shrewd apex]

💸

[slate swan]

Still an error(((

[shrewd apex]

can u show ur cogs code

the part where u are loading ur cogs

[sonic flax]

NameError: load_dotenv is not dfined

[merry cliff]

wait why do they have discord and dpy

[shrewd apex]

did u import in the code

[sonic flax]

No

[shrewd apex]

...

[sonic flax]

do i import load_dotenv

Or is it called something else

[slate swan]

class mod(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client: discord.Client):
        self.client = client
#commands


async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(mod(bot))

cogs = [        
    "mod"
]

# Class Main 
class Main(commands.Bot):                   
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

[slate swan]

await client.load_extension

[sonic flax]

No module named load_dotenv

[shrewd apex]

from dotenv import load_dotenv

[sonic flax]

Ok

[slate swan]

wait wtf did discord.py setup logging by default?

[shrewd apex]

this part is fine in ur main bot code how are u loading the cogs

await client.load_extension('mod')

[slate swan]

that wasn't for you lmao

remove that dotenv part, asher was answering to dew

[shrewd apex]

i though china was demonstrating to dew this was like 3 different levels of thinking going on here

[sonic flax]

Improper token has been passed

Does that just mean my tokens wrong

[shrewd apex]

either ur tokens wrong or the way u stored ur token is wrong

in .env

token=abcd1234

this is how u are supposed to store

[slate swan]

where to write it down?

[shrewd apex]

don't put the token in string in the env file

[sonic flax]

Ohh

[shrewd apex]

wherever u are loading the cog in ur code

[shrewd apex]

yeah

but do consider learning python first and checking discord.py docs before jumping into discord bots

[merry cliff]

highly reccomended

[sonic flax]

I keep getting unproper token bas been passed when I literally pasted a new one in and it isnt a string

[shrewd apex]

ur tokens wrong then
