    # Button Callback to respond to a button click
    async def button_callback(interaction):
      await ctx.edit(content="yo")

my problem is that, when the button is clicked, the original message isnt edited. I have already tried "edit_original_message" But that doesnt work aswell. Also, I get no error on "ctx.edit" so does anyone know the issue?

[slate swan]

ctx is not defined

[pearl fjord]

how do you do embed links in embed? like "Click here for more info!"

[elfin plume]

mb i shouldve specified but this function is inside a function with ctx

[pearl fjord]

its a def

it does not carry variables

maybe look into what variable scopes are

[elfin plume]

no its still async

because it needs to be awaited

[pearl fjord]

😐

[slate swan]

Click [here](https://nevergonnagiveyou.up) for more info!

[slate swan]

you still can't edit the context.

[elfin plume]

oh so should i add

ctx = await client.get_context(interaction)

[slate swan]

nooo, you want to edit a message on interaction right?

[elfin plume]

yea

[slate swan]

is it a normal command or an app command?

[elfin plume]

i think its normal, basically its just a function to respond to a button click

and it edits that message

which the button was attatched too

[sweet moat]

hi! is there a way i could accomplish this?
file=discord.File('https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/000000000000000/000000000000000/banner.gif')
aka, sending an attachment url as a file attachment

[clever hamlet]

Can someone help me to make music bot (I'm new)

[stiff fern]

channel = interaction.client.get_channel(986468534391545976)
await interaction.response.channel.send_message(embed=suggestion_embed)

I'm trying to send the embed in a specific channel with slash commands but I guess I cant figure out what Im suppose to use get_channel with

The error I get with this is has no attribute get_channel

[shrewd apex]

only client.get_channel is enough

[cerulean folio]

what are these @bot statements?

I don't know how to use them

and what's ctx i see that everywhere but i don't understand it

[slate swan]

they are called decorators, which they decorate a function object to change its behavior, here its use to register a command, and events

[cerulean folio]

I don't get it

there are built-in functions for commands?

[slate swan]

its the Context of the invoked command which would be the functions name or the string which you pass to the Bot.command.name kwarg

[slate swan]

not quite

theyre decorators of the Bot class of discord.py

[cerulean folio]

I just do something like

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.split(' ')[0] == command:
    msg_content = message.content.split(' ')[1:]
    #and I handle the rest here

[cerulean folio]

I don't get it XD

[slate swan]

you can parse it yourself but commands would be better as they parse the message's content and they get is prefix and the Context of the command which would be internally called/ invoked with the listeners list

[cerulean folio]

oh !

how can I learn slowly how to do this?

[slate swan]

if youre talking about commands this is a good tutorial, https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/

[cerulean folio]

thank you !

I also have another issue

[slate swan]

isnt this disnake nextcord though?

[cerulean folio]

I really struggle with async functions so... my code is so big and in one file

And many things I could put into functions but i don't because it stops working

[slate swan]

well they are forks no? only real difference is app commands which they dont have Context

[slate swan]

stops working like? they get blocked?

message_content is the first thing.

[lyric apex]

How to make font command?

[cerulean folio]

idrk, when i try to import a function from a second file it says function doesn't exist

[maiden fable]

Anyone willing to help me complete my bot's rewrite? 👀

[lyric apex]

Like some bots he $font {text} and it gives the text in some stylish way

[lyric apex]

Hunter Is That You?

🙂

[maiden fable]

Yea lol

Ngl yr former pfp was better

[vast sable]

how long can a view/select/button last? i have reaction roles using a dropdown in my bot but after a period of time (a few hours ig) after the view is sent the interaction fails whenever I try to use it

is there a way to make it last infinitely

[slate swan]

maybe, but meh 💀

[slate swan]

listener😭

#free-pr moment

i was thinking of making a tutorial site but its too much work.

no its not

you can make one using github pages easily with just some basic markdown knowledge

..

[slate swan]

if youre gonna make a pr, make the Message typehint to disnake.Message as it shows an example of the class imported but not in the Nextcord example, and make the Nextcord example use good var naming

[slate swan]

you need to call the method

nextcord.Intents.all**()**

[slate swan]

thats for some reason ig

[slate swan]

remove the note🗿

also yeah, nextcord.Client was defined as client but bot.run was used to run the bot

🗿

[maiden fable]

Nice, never knew okimii wrote the docs

[slate swan]

bro im not that bad

[slate swan]

i swear these examples are just 💀

@vocal plover bro fix your examples😭

vco on the way to become next robin or wot

you did not💀

i want to learn how to use mkdocs now, sphinx is kinda boring

https://hikari-py--1185.org.readthedocs.build/en/1185/# this looks noice

team2 is None

[vast sable]

look at what you're assigning the variable team2 from

whatever youre doing there, it's not finding it

[shrewd apex]

well what a shock it doesn't work now ||-_-||

[left idol]

in pycord how do i have multiple errors at once?

@stats.error
async def stats_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.NotOwner):
        await ctx.respond("No Permissions", ephemeral = True)

this is for permissions testing but i want to add a cooldown

[slate swan]

use elif ?

[left idol]

ah ok

[slate swan]

hello how to make database for warnings

[cloud dawn]

What exactly is your issue?

[slate swan]

like when i say .warn t@g member {reason}

and when i say .warns t@g that member who got warn he say amount of warns

[cloud dawn]

Okay I got that but are you stuck somewhere?

What have you got so far?

[slate swan]

no

idk how to make a database for discord bots

[cloud dawn]

Did you have any database in mind of using?

[slate swan]

no

just to remember how many warns

[cloud dawn]

Have you done some research regarding databases?

[slate swan]

yes

[cloud dawn]

I recommend reading this https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/tips/storage/

[regal pulsar]

mongoDB

[cloud dawn]

Postgresql

[regal pulsar]

you dont need postgres for something that simple

[slate swan]

pg > any db

[regal pulsar]

true

[cloud dawn]

^ == True

[cloud dawn]

No I just dislike mongo that much lmao

[regal pulsar]

oh lol

[slate swan]

sqlbased dbs > fancy dicts

yeah but i don't have host

[cloud dawn]

I'd use mongo if I'm coding in js.

[cloud dawn]

replit or heroku?

[slate swan]

idk how to start it on heroku

[cloud dawn]

replit supports sqlite

With aiosqlite basically a decent db

[slate swan]

🚶‍♂️ no, replit reverts the data, so you may find your data disappearing many times

[left idol]

in pycord,

    await ctx.defer()
    discordID = player.id
    robloxuser = bloxlink(discordID)
    if discordID in [92786442891169792, 897929889586507828, 556536867072245780]:
        a = 90
        b = 99
    elif discordID in [301480016657776642, 817386765874626571, 476537128428371970]:
        a = 0
        b = 10
    else:
        a = 35
        b = 99

    Spiking = np.random.randint(a, b)
    if Spiking <= 60:
        sgem = ":Bruh:"
    elif Spiking <= 70:
        sgem = ":Amethyst:"
    elif Spiking <=80:
        sgem = ":Sapphire:"
    elif Spiking <=94:
        sgem = ":Ruby:"
    elif Spiking >=95:
        sgem = ":Diamond:"
    embed = discord.Embed(title = "STATS", description = f"<@{discordID}>", color = discord.Color.blue())
    embed.add_field(name = "Spiking", value = f'{Spiking} {sgem}', inline = True)
    await ctx.followup.send(embed=embed)```
im currently trying this command but my embed isn't working? is something wrong with the way i defined a and b?

[cerulean folio]

guys I have a question:
Let's say I make a bot that's on a server, and it's very often used.
What's your techniques to run tests and updates on it, without shutting it down for a long time?
Like... github?

[left idol]

i tried the if discordID separately and it gives the right a and b

[slate swan]

separate test bot?

at least that's what I would do

[cloud dawn]

The trick is to code a stable base that needs little to no updates. You can reload cogs to update the files.

As for the tests you could then just make a separate cog for developer commands.

[cerulean folio]

what's a cog? :o

[cloud dawn]

A cog is also called an "extension" used to separate the bot into multiple files.

Coding a stable base is really hard tough so I recommend coding it until you are 100% certain you don't need to add anything more.

[cerulean folio]

oh i tried doing that, but it never works with async functions

[cloud dawn]

You can also keep a tracker on the Discord status site and update the base if there as a major outage. Using automated git solutions.

[cerulean folio]

when I create functions.py and run from functions import * in main.py it still says function doesn't exit

[cerulean folio]

oh alrightie ! thank you guys for your help

[cloud dawn]

I'd have to see the structure for this error, I also don't recommend using wildcards.

[cloud dawn]

Be aware tough that major outages only really happen once every 180 ish days.

[cerulean folio]

okie

[cerulean folio]

I used wildcard? what are these?

oh I googled it OK

[short silo]

If i do something like

ctx.response.send_message(file=file)

and then

ctx.response.edit_message()

how can i make the file disappear ?

[cloud dawn]

file=None

[short silo]

doesnt work

[cloud dawn]

delete

Why would you want to remove an embedded file anyways?

[short silo]

i am not sure, what ?

[short silo]

just a button menu, need to navigate through so... just somethings along the way

[cloud dawn]

You could try to clear attachments

ctx.response.edit_message(attachments=None)

[short silo]

cant

NoneType object is not iterable, it says

[cloud dawn]

Send an empty iterable.

[short silo]

ok, thanks works

[slate swan]

        Premium = []
        Free = []
        Booster = []
        types = ['Premium', 'Free', 'Booster']

        for type in types:
            dictionary = f'./alts/{type}'
            if os.listdir(dictionary):
                print('true')
            elif not os.listdir(dictionary):
                types.remove(type)
        try:
            for type in types:
                dicti = f'./alts/{type}'
                if os.listdir(dicti):
                    for file in os.listdir(dicti):
                        if file.endswith('.txt'):
                            type.appennd("stuff")
        except:
            pass
            #not for now```
well yeah since type is a string whats a alternative way i can do that?

[cloud dawn]

This doesn't really look like discord.py related coding.

[dim sentinel]

help~

[spring flax]

what's spi?

[dim sentinel]

client

[slate swan]

its in my command but idk

[regal pulsar]

define global variables like old_message, new_message, author and timestamp, and set them to none, inside on_message_edit, set those values to the variables

[vale wing]

Why do you need a command to edit the last sniped message 🤨

[vocal plover]

hm?

[dim sentinel]

what

old_messages=None
new_messages=None
author=None

@spi.event
async def on_message_delete(before,after):
    global old_messages
    global new_messages
    global author
    old_messages=before.content
    new_messages=after.content
    author=after.author.id


@spi.command()
async def editsnipe(ctx):
    if old_messages is None:
        await ctx.send("> :x: There is nothing to snipe")

    else:
        em=discord.Embed(title="Edit snipe",color=discord.Color.from_rgb(255, 234, 0))
        em.add_field(name=f"Before: {old_messages}",value="",inline=False)
        em.add_field(name=f"After: {new_messages}",value="",inline=False)
        await ctx.send(embed=em)
``` why doesnt this work now

[cloud dawn]

Vco is basically Robin's dad.

[vale wing]

Your editsnipe

[dim sentinel]

oh

[vale wing]

Don't get what for do you need to call the command to update contents of the sniped message

[cloud dawn]

Why not use OOP and a dict to solve this matter.

[vale wing]

You can just declare some global variable that stores the last deleted message

And yeah deleted messages can't get edited

[dim sentinel]

old_messages=None
new_messages=None
author=None

@spi.event
async def on_message_delete(before,after):
    global old_messages
    global new_messages
    global author
    old_messages=before.content
    new_messages=after.content
    author=after.author.id


@spi.command()
async def editsnipe(ctx):
    if new_messages is None:
        await ctx.send("> :x: There is nothing to snipe")

    else:
        em=discord.Embed(title="Edit snipe",color=discord.Color.from_rgb(255, 234, 0))
        em.add_field(name=f"Before: {old_messages}",value="",inline=False)
        em.add_field(name=f"After: {new_messages}",value="",inline=False)
        em.set_footer(text=f"requested by {author}")
        await ctx.send(embed=em)```

what about this

OH

[vale wing]

M hold up

Too many useless variables

[dim sentinel]

wait

[alpine cove]

u cant do that

[dim sentinel]

no no

i used on_message_delete

got my mistake

[vale wing]

Understandable

sniped_message: discord.Message | None = None

@bot.listen()
async def on_message_delete(msg: discord.Message):
    global sniped_message
    sniped_message = msg```

[dim sentinel]

now editsnipe doesnt even work

[vale wing]

You don't even need it

[dim sentinel]

?

I mean i wanna make a command

[vale wing]

Like what is that command supposed to do

[vocal plover]

fixed

[dim sentinel]

if a message is edited it is supposed to give the thing

like i edited this message

i want to use the command

and get the previous thing

[vale wing]

So you want to store different versions of the message or smth

[dim sentinel]

yes

the old message

[fiery sphinx]

How do I write a code bot keep it messages and ignores and downgrades user messages?

[vale wing]

You should use some more complex structures than a variable. For example, create a dict with messages ids as keys and lists of messages contents as values and modify it in on_message_edit

[stray adder]

Any kind hearted legend coder pls help me to make meme bot

[alpine cove]

yea

[alpine cove]

what?

[cloud dawn]

Could you rephrase this doesn't say much.

[vale wing]

You mean deletes all messages sent by someone else than specified user?

[fiery sphinx]

wait

i'll send a video

[dim sentinel]

i see

[cloud dawn]

We help to solve issues here not code whole bots.

[fiery sphinx]

guys look at this video and please give me code for create a bot like this
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/986508759532712006/986509363210493972/bandicam_2022-06-15_10-24-55-745.mp4

[stray adder]

Yeah im saying that

[vale wing]

@fiery sphinx ok do you have python knowledge

[fiery sphinx]

20%

[vale wing]

I like how they rate their knowledge in percents

It's not a relative value dude

[fiery sphinx]

i want codes from this bot

[stray adder]

Help

[alpine cove]

yea i didnt get it

[vale wing]

Can only suggest going to github and looking up

[fiery sphinx]

how bot can do it ?

[alpine cove]

you may translate this vid

[cloud dawn]

More specifically OOP using a dict structure json { 267624335836053506: { 343944376055103488: { 169790484594556928: { "message": "Hello World" } } } } first id being the guild -> channel -> member

[fiery sphinx]

:(

[stray adder]

Anyone help🥲

[cloud dawn]

This code is as old as Discord itself almost. pass_context is deprecated for 4 years now.

[vale wing]

So basically it listens for incoming websocket GUILD_MESSAGE events and checks the author id, if it doesn't match the given one it sends DELETE request to certain discord API endpoint (very easy explanation)

[stray adder]

I copied it from google🥲

[vale wing]

Oh mo

[fiery sphinx]

this so hard for me

i need code it

for my bot

[cloud dawn]

Oh yeah I've seen this before.

[stray adder]

I have another code but error is showing that no module called nextcord

[cloud dawn]

Basically he/she is saying to check if someone send a message in the channel, if so delete the embed and re-post it. Do recommend some kind of rate limiter.

[cloud dawn]

Then you copied the entire bot.

I'm sorry but I can help solve coding related issues not how to install a bot.

[stray adder]

Nop

[stray adder]

Nop

[cloud dawn]

Nextcord is basically the whole bots foundation, so unless you coded blindly without running the bot ever, this is hard to believe.

[vale wing]

Can't relate copypasting from not own projects

[fiery sphinx]

I wrote the code to some extent, but my problem is that I have no way to continue and I do not know

[cloud dawn]

What part exactly is difficult/ don't you understand?

[dusky pine]

seen too many discord bot skids

I made my AI bot open-sourced but with protection against skids 😉

[dusky pine]

that's not OOP that's oops

[cloud dawn]

You don't need to convince me, I'm asking you if you have a code related error.

[dusky pine]

How'd you do it?

[fiery sphinx]

I wrote it somewhere

[cloud dawn]

I was referring to using self instead of global.

[dusky pine]

Honestly, just get a database like MongoDB or PostgreSQL and 90% of skids are not gonna be able to set it up

[vale wing]

Removed some files and gave no setup instructions

[dusky pine]

o ic

[vale wing]

That's one of the applied measurements 😁

[dusky pine]

how dare you not put a README.md

[vale wing]

I do have it

[cloud dawn]

This is a good start, what is not working?

[vale wing]

And it just describes bot's commands

[dusky pine]

Oh nice

[stray adder]

Bro its my mistake asking you doubt sorry i wont ask you again and the thing is iam just adding the meme command too and i dont know coding i search on youtube and follow the steps thats it

[dusky pine]

well non-skids can just read the errors and see you have to set a db up

seems good

[vale wing]

They might have issues with parsing environment variables next

[dusky pine]

hopefully you put .env in gitignore

[cloud dawn]

What is the current error you're having? I can help to some extend.

[vale wing]

Nah I use github secrets

[dusky pine]

never heard of it

[vale wing]

Very convenient thing tbh

[fiery sphinx]

I can not fully explain what I mean, but I want when the first time someone wrote a message in a channel to send us a message, and the second time another user wrote a message, the previous bot message will be deleted and the same message will come and be sent above the second user.

[vale wing]

Heard of github actions / workflows?

[cloud dawn]

Not convenient enough tbh

[dusky pine]

Yeah I saw it was used for test etc, but never used it before

[cloud dawn]

So you result in having 2 messages?

[vale wing]

So basically yml file that contains instructions for a runner to do

[cloud dawn]

I saw the vid you want to let the embed stay at the bottom of the text channel.

[dusky pine]

oh ok

[vale wing]

And those workflows can get the values of github secrets and parse them as environment variables (or in some other conditions)

[maiden fable]

Anyone ever got this before?

[fiery sphinx]

No no, infinitely, my idea is that every user in the channel writes a text and the next text is a continuation of the previous text and is a kind of fictional story, and in this section, the bot text should remain on the top page of the channel (like the video)

[vale wing]

Why tf is my internet slow now

[cloud dawn]

Github actions/ workflows only is efficient if you work in groups tough. I personally have never used it for personal projects.

[fiery sphinx]

yea

[vale wing]

Nvm that's probably discord issues

[vale wing]

Idk with them I can just push and don't even have to do anything but bot will get updated automatically

[cloud dawn]

Yeah so then with this code, what exactly isn't working?

[vale wing]

All of my workflows do though is just docker-compose up --build

[fiery sphinx]

The first message that the user sends, the bot writes its message above his head, and in the second step, when another user sends a message, the bot must delete its previous message and place the same previous message on top of the new user, so a loop Infinity is created and I need to find a way for the bot to automatically advance from step 2 automatically.

[vale wing]

But still I only need to press one button instead of doing a sequence of actions

[fiery sphinx]

2 Bot : hello
3 New user : hi
4 (2).delete , Bot : hello
5 New user : hi
6 (4).delete , Bot : hello

```Like This

@cloud dawn

[cloud dawn]

Ohh so the embed always needs to be 1 message above the previous message?

[fiery sphinx]

yes

[dusky pine]

it means bad gateway yes

[maiden fable]

Nice

[dusky pine]

all thanks to our sponsor NordVPN

[cloud dawn]

I recommend using OOP, I don't really see another solution without using ugly global method.

[heady sluice]

!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)

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!

[fiery sphinx]

I can not write such a thing, you can not write for me?

[alpine cove]

no one is just gonna wirte that for u

[cloud dawn]

This could be ok-ish, doable

[heady sluice]

botvars > global vars

[vocal plover]

this should probably be changed to subclassing the bot and adding attributes that way tbh

[fiery sphinx]

I am designing a store bot and my only problem is this code

[dusky pine]

fr bro

[cloud dawn]

Yes.

[dusky pine]

no intellisense = bad method /j

[vocal plover]

I mean, not wrong honestly

[cloud dawn]

(botvars > global vars) < subclassing

[vocal plover]

because the same thing that intellisense uses is what reasons about your code and tells you if it's wrong

[heady sluice]

subclassing Bot and adding attributes that way, you're still making botvars

[alpine cove]

if you cant even pull this off u wont get that far

[heady sluice]

[dusky pine]

chill don't tell them what they can't do

[cloud dawn]

It's not the same.

[vocal plover]

you're making botvars but in a way that a linter or language server can reason about

[alpine cove]

he‘s selling other people‘s open source code

[dusky pine]

wait the fuck?

[fiery sphinx]

na

i have an shop

[alpine cove]

go on

[fiery sphinx]

and i want create my bot

for automatically buying

[dusky pine]

do you have proof to back that claim defendant

[heady sluice]

[cloud dawn]

Please stop this conversation, if someone is doing something against the ToS or CoC against this server or Discord please inform @novel apex.

[dusky pine]

does CoC mean clash of clans

[cloud dawn]

Code of Conduct.

[dusky pine]

oh

[alpine cove]

lol

[dusky pine]

sounds like a lame game

[heady sluice]

Yes.

[fiery sphinx]

i need a code for bot get waiting for user send a message in a channel

[dusky pine]

wait for message to be sent in that channel?

!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**...

[dusky pine]

no i'm not writing it for you

[fiery sphinx]

await client.wait_for("message") ?

[dusky pine]

Yep

[fiery sphinx]

um

this not working for me , cuz bot ignore it

[dusky pine]

don't know, that's the proper usage /shrug

what are your intents?

[shrewd apex]

tf

[cloud dawn]

No that's not what he needs

A on message event is just fine.

[dusky pine]

ok

if that's really what he needs, there's no way this guy isn't a skid

you have to know what events are

[fiery sphinx]

um first bot give message from on_message and secend give message with wait_for but bot ignore this

[dusky pine]

are you sure you called it before the message is sent

[shrewd apex]

wdym by ignore u get no traceback?

why don't u just make a command which user uses to buy from shop?

like !buy apple

[vocal plover]

👀 https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/tips/botvars/

felt a bit too long to be a bot tag tbh

[dusky pine]

i've seen this tutorial before

[shrewd apex]

it's neat👍

[dusky pine]

hey i saw this while looking (googling) for cogs

i think

[fiery sphinx]

No , i want coding a source like this but with delete message and send message

@dusky pine

[cloud dawn]

I do think this is meant for more experienced coders, the whole site presumably.

[vocal plover]

most of the site is for beginners rn

the tips section especially is just for whoever needs the specific thing, it's not really skill-assessed

[cloud dawn]

Hmm yeah true but the botvar is since it doesn't show what you import.

[vocal plover]

the thing with that is I wanted to keep it lib agnostic

[cloud dawn]

Message could be confusing for starters.

[dusky pine]

what have you tried so far

[cloud dawn]

Ah, also commands.Bot doesn't take arguments am I right?

[vocal plover]

it does, stuff like command_prefix, guild_ids, help_command

[cloud dawn]

Those are keyword arguments

[vocal plover]

oh right you mean posargs

no it doesnt, but *args **kwargs is just the standard

[cloud dawn]

So you wouldn't need *args in ```py
class MyBot(commands.Bot):
def init(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
super().init(*args, **kwargs)

    self.last_message: Optional[Message] = None

...

[fiery sphinx]

everthings , but I need a way for the bot to act as a loop and clear the message and write a new message.

[dusky pine]

support dpy2.0 now 😸

[cloud dawn]

True but maybe also include something about *args and **kwargs or does that go too much towards normal Python?

[vocal plover]

I'm trying to but I need to move literally everything around because the way dpy does app commands is so vastly different to nextcord and disnake that I can't just make separate tabs for each of them anymore because a lot of shared explanation doesnt work

[cloud dawn]

The way dpy does app commands makes me kind of annoyed honestly, they make it seem like they needed something unique to draw back the users.

[vocal plover]

It's unnecessarily complex because you're never going to have multiple command trees on one bot, so why have it detached from the bot

[cloud dawn]

The fact you need to sync application commands yourself adds so much to this and the forced Client or Bot usage. Both having major downsides.

[cloud dawn]

I don't really mind that since it does allow for more complex structures.

[vocal plover]

lol, syncing commands myself is the bit of it i do like

I despise when auto sync is enabled by default because if I quickly need to run another bot on the same token I dont want to wipe all my global app commands

[cloud dawn]

And I think this is the way to go tbh, but maybe you could do this even more and add things like this.

[cloud dawn]

True but it does make it more complex. If I were a beginner at this app commands would most certainly take a lot longer than it did to learn message commands.

[vocal plover]

yeah

the issue is slash commands are an inherently worse dev experience than message commands

there's basically no way to do them in a way that doesnt suck for one reason or another

[cloud dawn]

Well it's Python, if there is a solution in a compiled language why can't Python?

[slate swan]

If someone has a status with a Spotify thingy playing, how'd I get to check which song is playing?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Member.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information.

Note

A user may have multiple activities, these can be accessed under [`activities`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.activities "discord.Member.activities").

[slate swan]

nvm that but we were talking about examples on this page:
https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/tutorial/beginner/05-listeners/ ( wrong decorator for disnake listener and a bit mess in nextcord example ), created a pr with fixes.

[cloud dawn]

returns Optional[Union[BaseActivity, Spotify]]

!d discord.Spotify

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Spotify

class discord.Spotify```
Represents a Spotify listening activity from Discord. This is a special case of [`Activity`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Activity "discord.Activity") that makes it easier to work with the Spotify integration.

x == y Checks if two activities are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the activity’s hash.

str(x) Returns the string ‘Spotify’.

[slate swan]

Ah yes, activities should work.

[alpine cove]

what r u guys doing?

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Member.activities

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.activities

The activities that the user is currently doing.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, a user’s Spotify activity may not appear if they are listening to a song with a title longer than 128 characters. See #1738 for more information.

[alpine cove]

activities sure

[slate swan]

Can we have the bot listening to a song?

[cloud dawn]

Yes and no.

[haughty nova]

Hello, I want to do a discord bot that is connected to my minecraft server but not actually connected. I want to make a command that when you want to ban someone ingame then you should go into discord and write !ban player reason and if its their first time being banned ingame it should write "Ban the player for 7 days" but if its the second time it should write "Ban the player for 14 days" and if its the third time it should write "ban the player for forever"

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = "Token"

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

@bot.command()
async def ban(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Du har bannet")

bot.run(TOKEN)```

and I am really new to python so I want help with how i should write it

[slate swan]

Then the spotify class is just accessible from other members and not usable for the bot itself?

[cloud dawn]

Lmao I'm going to do the same this summer, I'm just going to use the cmd of the servers stdout and stdin with asyncio subprocess.

[haughty nova]

lmao good luck

[cloud dawn]

Oh you mean set the activity status of the bot to listen to a song? Then no.

[slate swan]

Sadge.

[cloud dawn]

I can do it like that since I host the bot myself with portforwarding, if you are using a host you will most likely need to making a custom java plugin.

And using an API as a bridge.

[slate swan]

They actually will type !ban in discord and not Minecraft server.

[cloud dawn]

It's the same in reverse.

[haughty nova]

I also host the bot by my self

[slate swan]

[cloud dawn]

Then using my method is pretty simple and straight forward.

[haughty nova]

Ok thanks

[upbeat otter]

you have to enable the application commands scope while creating an invite for your bot from the URL Generator tab from the application's nav on the discord dev portal

[cloud cairn]

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

    if msg.content == '!image ' + file:
      file = ''

      await channel.send(embed=embed)
      await channel.send(file=discord.File(dir+'/'+file))
      print('Images: ', file)

Trying to make my bot send a specific photo from my ./images directory, but doesn't want to work.
Could use some help right about now

[cloud dawn]

What is dir+'/'+file??

[cloud cairn]

dir = "./images"```

[cloud dawn]

I don't recommend renaming a function to another object.

[maiden fable]

Imagine doing that in C# 👀

[cloud dawn]

dies

[cloud cairn]

hmm okk

[maiden fable]

with compile errors

[cloud dawn]

Also why not send the embed and the file in one go?

[cloud cairn]

couldn't make it work before

it was spitting out permission errors, even if i ran the code as admin

[upbeat otter]

ghost ping smh

[cloud dawn]

Same prob some kind of bot.

[cloud cairn]

So what can i do to make that work?

pretty new to python

[maiden fable]

U using the Android App?

[cloud dawn]

What do you mean?

[maiden fable]

U using Android app when u saw the ghost ping?

[cloud dawn]

No Windows.

[maiden fable]

For some reason I also get ghost pings but apparently that's an app bug

Ah okay,

[cloud dawn]

Well we could ask the staff ig

[maiden fable]

Yup

[cloud cairn]

someone?

[alpine cove]

yea

it mixes guilds, dms and other guild‘s channels up

[cloud cairn]

What?

[cloud dawn]

Sounds like me using Discord.

[alpine cove]

lmao

[alpine cove]

imagine getting a message by user#1234
discord will show a notification(lile this red dot) for both the dm with the user and some random guild

if you then go ahead and open that guild you will see ur dm with that user

[upbeat otter]

another ghost ping....wtf

[alpine cove]

exactly

[cloud cairn]

Well im not getting any ghost pings :/

[upbeat otter]

I swear I haven't visited this channel for 6 months and it's still the same. Basic python problems and ot talks

[alpine cove]

might just be a mobile bug cuz i rarely use dc on pc

[alpine cove]

lol yea we are kinda off topic

[cloud cairn]

Probably

[cloud dawn]

Would you want it any other way?

[stray adder]

Anyone help me..........

[upbeat otter]

it's fine, it is what it is

[alpine cove]

ive been experiencing multiple bugs pn mobile recently

*on

[maiden fable]

Because it's a complete rewrite

[alpine cove]

ask ur question

[upbeat otter]

idk better let the channel be dead instead lol

Hunter and Panda

[alpine cove]

didnt know about that

[upbeat otter]

you both are still here smh

[cloud dawn]

We do have a stellar reputation of being ot in dpy.

[stray adder]

Pls i tried to make a meme bot but full of error i will give you replt link can u fix it for me

[upbeat otter]

and spoon-feed seekers....

[stray adder]

Aysheri....

[cloud dawn]

Used to, I rarely code in dpy these days.

[slate swan]

just state what the errors are, we'll help you

i didn't even get the ghost ping, discord hates me

[stray adder]

i tried to make a meme bot but full of error i will give you replt link can u fix it for me

[slate swan]

nor did I 😔

[stray adder]

Ok

[slate swan]

dats sad

indeed

[slate swan]

and?

the error pretty much tells you

[stray adder]

Thats only

[slate swan]

code

snippet

[slate swan]

make that popup disappear

[stray adder]

@commands.command(aliases=["memes", "r/memes", "reddit"])
async def meme(self, ctx, subred="memes"):
msg = await ctx.send('Loading ... :Loading:')

    reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='ID',
                         client_secret='SECRET',
                         username="USERNAME",
                         password='PASSWORD',

    subreddit = reddit.subreddit(subred)
    all_subs = []
    top = subreddit.top(limit=350)

    for submission in top:
        all_subs.append(submission)

    random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)

    name = random_sub.title
    url = random_sub.url

    embed = Embed(title=f'__{name}__', colour=discord.Colour.random(), 
                  timestamp=ctx.message.created_at, url=url)

    embed.set_image(url=url)
    embed.set_author(name=ctx.author.display_name, icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
    embed.set_footer(text=f'Bot')

[slate swan]

change commands.command to client.command since it's not a cog
and remove self

[stray adder]

Ok

Its been two days trying this😅

[maiden fable]

Most of the old people are here

[cloud dawn]

Whom are you calling old

[short silo]

@bot.event
async def on_message(Message : discord.Message):
    print(Message.content)

I am getting an empty string through this, what might be wrong

[maiden fable]

Yea, they rewrote the Android app from scratch

[maiden fable]

You (:

And sarth

And okimmi

[cloud dawn]

True, 26th of juli is my 2 year anniversary here.

[maiden fable]

And Hunter

And andy

[alpine cove]

using ios

[cloud dawn]

Don't forget Alec.

[alpine cove]

so this shouldnt affect me at all

[cloud dawn]

Mina got late to the game.

[maiden fable]

Ah, idk about that then. Prolly they rewrote iOS too?

[alpine cove]

yea

[maiden fable]

He isn't as active as us tho

[short silo]

👀

[cloud dawn]

caeden lmfao

[maiden fable]

He left the server

[cloud dawn]

No he got banned.

[maiden fable]

Nvm he's here

@Caeden#7205

[cloud dawn]

[alpine cove]

yea never heard of him

[maiden fable]

He doesn't chat here anymore

[cloud dawn]

Be blessed

[maiden fable]

And yea, how can I forgot Robin!

[cloud dawn]

Who?

[maiden fable]

Robin the Helper

@Robin J#2415

[cloud dawn]

I will always see him as the guy who tried to combine py with js

[quaint epoch]

jy

[cloud dawn]

Unwritten rule hunter.

[alpine cove]

ps?

python script

thats actually a thing

wasnt py-script the browser version

[cloud dawn]

powershell.. lol

[unkempt canyon]

PyScript v0.6.0

Postscript Graphics with Python

[maiden fable]

Wait what the

[alpine cove]

yea lol

[maiden fable]

https://pyscript.net/
Anyways

[maiden fable]

What?

[cloud dawn]

You don't combine py and js

[maiden fable]

I am totally not making the backend in FastAPI and frontend JS

[cloud dawn]

That's ok

But he was doing this api in js and wanted it to be the bridge between a dashboard and the bot.

[vocal plover]

My API is in Go, the bot in Python, and the site using Svelte

[stiff fern]

channel = discord.Client.get_channel(986468534391545976)
        await interaction.response.channel.send_message(embed=suggestion_embed)

Telling me I basically need id= but when I put id= it gives me another error w/ having positional arguments

[cloud dawn]

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=suggestion_embed)
``` what's wrong with this?

There is something you are not showing.

[stiff fern]

well I have response.channel.send_message bc Im trying to send it in a different channel

class suggestion(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot) -> None:
        self.bot = bot

    @app_commands.command(name='suggestion', description='Submit a suggestion')
    async def suggestion(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_modal(suggestion_modal())


class suggestion_modal(ui.Modal, title="Suggestion Prompt"):
    answer_one = ui.TextInput(
        label="Suggestion", 
        style = discord.TextStyle.short,

        channel = discord.Client.get_channel(986468534391545976) # Need to fix this
        await interaction.response.channel.send_message(embed=suggestion_embed)

Are the classes

[vocal plover]

The error is you're using the Client type, not an instance of it, so you're passing the ID to the self parameter of the class method

[stiff fern]

oh so do I need to do self, id? or something

Or am I using the wrong type of client

[cloud dawn]

No you just need to send it the old fashioned way.

[stiff fern]

what's the old fashion way 🤔

[cloud dawn]

Hmm I'd pass the bot object with the modal class.

[stiff fern]

alrighty

Im still a noob so imma little slow

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.client

property client```
The client that is handling this interaction.

[slate swan]

@stiff fern use this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stiff fern]

so discord.client instead of discord.Client?

o

Well it says property has no attribute get_channel

[upbeat otter]

Dpy is the most stupefying shit in context to api wrappers for the discord api in python ❤️

[upbeat otter]

ancient person

[upbeat otter]

discord.Interaction.client and discord.Client smh

client is a property of the Interaction class

[stiff fern]

right and in the api is says get_channel is a property off Client so wouldn't I have to use discord.Client

I mean Ive tried that too and it didnt work either

discord.Interactions.client.get_channel

I have it w/ interactions.client

[upbeat otter]

Interaction
and that wont work

you have to have an argument which acts as the interaction placed for that specific button in the callback

[maiden fable]

people*

[narrow grail]

is it possible to send a direct message trough interaction.response?

[cerulean folio]

So I read today about this, thank you a lot for the advice this is usefull ! Especially considering my bot will have more than 10k people using it

[maiden fable]

await interaction.author.send

[narrow grail]

thanks

[narrow grail]

not working

[slate swan]

*interaction.user.send @narrow grail

[narrow grail]

thanks alot

[maiden fable]

!d disnake.Interaction.author

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Interaction.author

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[maiden fable]

@slate swan ^^^

[stiff fern]

how would you use Interaction.channel_id()

Like you put the channel in there but what purpose would it serve

[upbeat otter]

no u

[slate swan]

lmao

[slate swan]

Interaction.channel_id*
since it's a property and you don't call properties

it'll just return the channel_id

[regal pulsar]

remove the brackets

[regal pulsar]

^

[stiff fern]

oh so it just returns something

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[slate swan]

what else did you think it was for....

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[stiff fern]

setting a channel

[slate swan]

huh?

[stiff fern]

Is there no way to send a interaction response in a specific channel because I can't find anything on it

[slate swan]

i don't think everyone uses Disnake.

[stiff fern]

like being able to do
Interaction.response.send_message(embed=suggestion_embed, channel_id=986468534391545976)
would be nice

[maiden fable]

Thought the alias was in discord.py too, my bad

[stiff fern]

well it returns the response

[slate swan]

its actually the quite opposite, disnake changed it

[stiff fern]

oh I see what youre saying

[maiden fable]

Ig

[slate swan]

http methods 😔 though they don't work for interactions

[stiff fern]

oo

[slate swan]

use http methods 😭

[stiff fern]

wouldnt http methods be more complicated

Oh no I did I just didn't include it since I didn't want to just post a wall of code cause then nobody would read it

[slate swan]

no

from discord.http import handle_message_parameters
await bot.http.send_message(channel_id, handle_message_parameters(embed=embed))

[stiff fern]

Is this suppose to be more efficient or something?

[dull terrace]

you can send a try except blank interaction response but its an extra api call

[stiff fern]

Oh nvm I see what youre saying cause I just saw it but I know how to fix it

[slate swan]

you just don't have to do get_channel instead you can directly use the channel id

[stiff fern]

Oh its just skipping the extra step I see

[slate swan]

this may save you from getting a None as response from get_channel

[stiff fern]

Thank you 🙂

[slate swan]

huh?

[stiff fern]

😂

[slate swan]

fetch_channel makes an api call :)

[stiff fern]

How would you get a None response from get channel

If the channel gets remade and ID changes or something?

[loud junco]

hi

[slate swan]

if the channel isnt found in the cache of the app which is rarely gonna take place

[stiff fern]

So you'd use a try except for it

[slate swan]

send_message saves you from an api call if you're using fetch

[slate swan]

it returns None, doesnt raise any error

[stiff fern]

So then an if statement, if its None then retry maybe?

[slate swan]

payload.message_id

[stiff fern]

oh alright

[heady sluice]

😭

[slate swan]

in the code

fetch and send -
request 1 - getting the channel object
request 2- sending the message by entering the channel id in the endpoint

the http method directly uses the id in endpoint.

just re-read that snippet and youll see

i like Danny's GitHub avatar

imagine liking Danny himself 😔

[heady sluice]

no

[slate swan]

sus

[maiden fable]

What's x

[slate swan]

• x does not have any key as message_id
• learn how to spell

[maiden fable]

I agree on the folder name tho

[slate swan]

you got too much of a keen eye lmao

[cloud dawn]

good luck :)

I just noticed when you hover over the emoji when you want to select one it changes each time

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[slate swan]

😔 imagine not realizing that yet

[spring flax]

is it possible to do embed.set_image with an image as a spoiler?

[cloud dawn]

mean

[slate swan]

nothing uhh

[slate swan]

NO

maybe

[heady sluice]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

set_image(*, url)```
Sets the image for the embed content.

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

[cloud dawn]

Don't spoil it

[heady sluice]

hm

!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.

[heady sluice]

set spoiler=True here

[heady sluice]

[slate swan]

no, I mean yes

maybe that'll work

[cloud dawn]

||unsure||

[heady sluice]

women are getting more and more confusing to me everyday

[slate swan]

staph

[cloud dawn]

No means they definitely want it.

[slate swan]

that won't work

[heady sluice]

tell reason

[slate swan]

all that kwarg does is attach SPOILER_ at the beginning of the filename, which appears as a spoiler on discord when uploaded

the set_image does nothing but uses that Attachment's link, which is not a spoiler in itself.

[heady sluice]

so you'd have to use the SPOILER_ when using set_image?

[slate swan]

wont work either, you can't spoil an image in Embed

[heady sluice]

that sounds cap

everything's possible you just gotta hack discord

[slate swan]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/343944376055103488/986656205629972560/SPOILER_IMG.jpg
url of this file, when you send this url it appears as normal image

[maiden fable]

U can set image as spoiler when the embed type is picture or smth

[cloud dawn]

I hate that policy damn

[maiden fable]

I have read that somewhere. From where u got that?

[heady sluice]

I'm not able to try it out

[slate swan]

!venv

[unkempt canyon]

Virtual Environments

Virtual environments are isolated Python environments, which make it easier to keep your system clean and manage dependencies. By default, when activated, only libraries and scripts installed in the virtual environment are accessible, preventing cross-project dependency conflicts, and allowing easy isolation of requirements.

To create a new virtual environment, you can use the standard library venv module: python3 -m venv .venv (replace python3 with python or py on Windows)

Then, to activate the new virtual environment:

Windows (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
or (Command Prompt): .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
MacOS / Linux (Bash): source .venv/bin/activate

Packages can then be installed to the virtual environment using pip, as normal.

For more information, take a read of the documentation. If you run code through your editor, check its documentation on how to make it use your virtual environment. For example, see the VSCode or PyCharm docs.

Tools such as poetry and pipenv can manage the creation of virtual environments as well as project dependencies, making packaging and installing your project easier.

Note: When using Windows PowerShell, you may need to change the execution policy first. This is only required once:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

[maiden fable]

Ah

[slate swan]

can u for example set the cooldown after the async function?
like

    @commands.command()
    async def gen(self, ctx, accounttype):
     with open('cooldowns.json', 'r') as file:
        rere = json.load(file)
     @commands.cooldown(.)

[stiff fern]

channel = interaction.guild.get_channel(986468534391545976) or await interaction.guild.fetch_channel(986468534391545976)

        msg = await channel.send(embed=suggestion_embed)
        await msg.add_reaction('![Yes](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/986643084718796810.webp?size=128 "Yes")')

        reaction = commands.Bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
        if str(reaction.emoji) == '![Yes](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/986643084718796810.webp?size=128 "Yes")':

Trying to figure out how to have it check when new reactions are added to a message but its saying I'm missing the event argument but I have it as reaction_add

unless im missing something else

[sick birch]

You need to call it on your actual bot instance

[slate swan]

oh damn this command can include multiple rules at a time

[stiff fern]

oh alright

[sick birch]

If you dont it assumes that the first argument is the instance

[slate swan]

use dynamic cooldowns

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=cooldown#discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown

[stiff fern]

Wouldn't commands.Bot be the instance of the bot?

[paper sluice]

U r still using ids

[sick birch]

That’s the actual class

If you followed a YouTube tutorial it’s probably going to be called “client”, if you didn’t, it’ll probably be called “bot”

[slate swan]

class Counter(discord.ui.View):


    @discord.ui.button( label='0', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=1)
    async def count(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):

        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

    @discord.ui.button(label='0', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=1)
    async def count1(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):

        button.label = str(number + 1)

        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

Dear, please tell me how to make the button can be pressed only by the one who entered the command?

[cloud dawn]

Personally I call it clientorbotmabyclient

[rocky hornet]

whats the best way to dynamically add a cog-aware command?

[paper sluice]

What's cog aware command

[rocky hornet]

command that has .cog set correctly

Bot.add_command doesnt do that

[paper sluice]

Oh

[rocky hornet]

i'd imagine Cog.add_command to exist

but ofc danny didnt think about that

[stiff fern]

Well I have it named bot but I guess its not in the same scope as the class I'm trying to use it in so am I able to pass it in when I call the class?

Like if I did? I mean this wouldn't work but that's what I would think

class suggestion(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot) -> None:
        self.bot = bot

await interation.response.send_modal(suggestion_modal(bot))

class suggestion modal(bot, ui.Modal, title="Suggestion Prompt"):
  #Need to access bot here

async def setup(bot: commands.Bot) -> None:
    await bot.add_cog(
        suggestion(bot),
        guilds=[discord.Object(id=981034070421155850)]
    )

[slate swan]

i call it self

[slate swan]

didnt knew this command was a thing, rule 6 and 9 😏🙂

class Counter(discord.ui.View):


    @discord.ui.button( label='0', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=1)
    async def count(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):

        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

    @discord.ui.button(label='0', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=1)
    async def count1(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        number = int(button.label) if button.label else 0

        button.label = str(number + 1)

        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

Dear, please tell me how to make the button can be pressed only by the one who entered the command?

[paper sluice]

I thought u called it _

[slate swan]

pass the Context of the command to the View class

[slate swan]

i call it _self

private self lmao

[slate swan]

How to write?

[paper sluice]

One letter variable names = good

[slate swan]

make an initiate and write the argument lol

[paper sluice]

U don't need the whole context, context.author should be just fine here

[slate swan]

its always nice to have the full Context over a Member obj, no?

[paper sluice]

No, I don't really ever use it

[slate swan]

type
if context.author == author.id
or how?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quaint epoch]

!pypi discum

[unkempt canyon]

discum v1.4.0

A Discord API Wrapper for Userbots/Selfbots written in Python.

[quaint epoch]

damn

that's illegal

and the name is sus too

[paper sluice]

No u need to take the author in the init method, make it a class variable the check self.author == interaction.user

[slate swan]

@discord.ui.button( label='0', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=1)
async def count(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
if self.author == interaction.user:
await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
else:
pass

[maiden fable]

u need to do context.author.id == author.id

[slate swan]

if self.author is a Member object yes

[slate swan]

double meaning I see

nvm

[slate swan]

🥺

[maiden fable]

what do u wanna do with the if statement?

[slate swan]

If I am the author of the command, then the button is renamed 123, else 321

[maiden fable]

ah

[paper sluice]

it's user

[slate swan]

..

[maiden fable]

if interaction.user.id == interaction.client.owner_id

[paper sluice]

They mean the invoker of the command not the owner lol

[slate swan]

If I am the author of the command

hunter go to sleep

[maiden fable]

I mean, interaction.author returns the author of the command and client.owner_id returns the id of the owner of the bot

[slate swan]

It's 10 pm only

[paper sluice]

It's interaction.user btw

[slate swan]

thats not what the user wanted so whats your point lol

[slate swan]

timezones lol

[maiden fable]

Yup fixed it

[slate swan]

class Counter(discord.ui.View):


    @discord.ui.button( label='0', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=1)
    async def count(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        if interaction.author.id == interaction.client.owner_id:
            button.label = "123"
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
        else:
            button.label = "321"
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

(((

only disnake has such alias

[maiden fable]

Then what else do they want

[maiden fable]

edited the if statement, my bad

[slate swan]

#discord-bots message

[maiden fable]

AH its a button

[slate swan]

Timezones for whom??

[slate swan]

yes

[rose mountain]

I made this randomizer bot recently

[cerulean folio]

I beg you guys someone help me structurate my code. The bot is working very well, but the code is sick, it's nested so much

[maiden fable]

U need to add an init arg which is the commands.Context of the command, and u check self.context.author

[slate swan]

Nice

[maiden fable]

I understand

[sick birch]

self.bot in this case

[slate swan]

what does it look like rn

[cerulean folio]

I really need a mentor that could help me with it

[stiff fern]

graci

[cerulean folio]

it looks like that: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/leqoxoroqa

💀

[sick birch]

You don't necessarily need to call a method on an instance, but things are a little bit different:

!e

print(int.__add__(1, 2))

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

3

[sick birch]

Same concept, different class

[rose mountain]

I'm proud of it because I'm pretty sure I'm the first one to make a tf2 weapon randomizer as a discord bot

I've never seen it before even though I watch a channel who covers weapon randomizers

[sick birch]

!e

print((1).__add__(2))

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

3

[sick birch]

In this case python passes in the self variable automatically

[rose mountain]

I want to make it generate an image with the stats and weapon later

[maiden fable]

Wait what?
Never knew the dunder method was a classmethod

[sick birch]

Not a classmethod, just a regular instance method

All class methods can be called that way, with just the class

[slate swan]

the first thing i'd do is format it with black.

[sick birch]

!e

class SomeClass:
  def __init__(self):
    self.x = "Hello, world!"
  def print_x(self):
    print(self.x)

instance = SomeClass()
SomeClass.print_x(instance)

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Hello, world!

[sick birch]

Really no need to be doing it, but I bet the esoteric folks like using it to make the code seem more esoteric-y

[slate swan]

interesting so you can manually pass an instance of the class thats already been initiated while using a class object

never knew lmao

[sick birch]

Exactly yep

[slate swan]

god bless im not someone that does esoteric code

[paper sluice]

When u make classes ur basically manually setting attrs to the instance

[sick birch]

Because I believe calling a method like:

instance = SomeClass()
instance.some_method()

Is really just syntactic sugar for

instance = SomeClass()
SomeClass.some_method(instance)

not sure though, but the behaviour of operator overloading leads me to believe that

[slate swan]

self is just an instance of the class there so why not 🚶‍♂️

[slate swan]

i know ive just never thought about it that way over just using it as method with an instance already initiated

[vale sierra]

    @commands.command()
    async def balance(self, ctx, member:discord.Member = None):
        if member is None:
            self.member = ctx.author

    db = sqlite3.connect
    cursor = db.cursor()


    cursor.execute(f"SELECT wallet, bank FROM eco WHERE user_id = {member.id}")
    bal = cursor.fetchone()
    try:
        wallet = bal[0]
        bank = bal[1]
    except:
        wallet = 0
        bank = 0

    await ctx.send(f"Portefeuille -- {wallet}\n Banque -- {bank}")
``` This is the error i have with this part of code, i indent it so idk where it could be from, thanks for your help

[slate swan]

@slate swan this is a good example on what i ment, yes it can be done but i never thought about it in such a way lmao

[sick birch]

Everything after db = sqlite3.connect is outside of your function

Since there's no good reason to be doing it in the first place

[vale sierra]

i must set it in the end of my function ?

[sick birch]

Indent everything from then on out up till the await ctx.send(...)

[cerulean folio]

what?

[vale sierra]

thats work. Thank for your help and have a good evening !

[slate swan]

#black-formatter

[slate swan]

!pip black a very cool tool.

[sick birch]

You too, enjoy your day

[unkempt canyon]

black v22.3.0

The uncompromising code formatter.

[slate swan]

class Counter(discord.ui.View):


    @discord.ui.button( label='0', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=1)
    async def count(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        if interaction.user.id == interaction.guild.get_member(interaction.user.id):
            button.label = "123"
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
        else:
            button.label = "321"
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

If I click on the button, then it changes to 321, if a friend, then the same 321. Please tell me what is the problem

basically you can just ```bash
$python -m pip install black
$python -m black filepath

or

$python -m black . # to format your cwd

[paper sluice]

Do u know what a dunder init does?

[cerulean folio]

wait what do u mean format my code?

what if it accidently messes it?

[paper sluice]

Make it look good

[cerulean folio]

I hate those things I'm traumatised XD

[slate swan]

I don't know most likely)

[cerulean folio]

are you sure i have no risk of messing my code?

[slate swan]

imagine using a formatter for python

[sick birch]

interaction.user.id == interaction.guild.get_member(interaction.user.id) comparing int to discord.Member

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/pezejawala you judge

[paper sluice]

Then learn what that is first..

[slate swan]

interaction.user.id == #get ineraction.user.id whyy??

just use interaction_check 😔

yoo anyone experienced with PY + Flask dm me really need help with parsing args

[slate swan]

!rule 7

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

7. Keep discussions relevant to the channel topic. Each channel's description tells you the topic.

[slate swan]

take your business to #web-development

[slate swan]

one of the reasons why i dont need to worry about readability while writing the code.

bro what

its a python dc bot

with flask side

[slate swan]

"PY + flask"

still doesn't matter, read the channel topic

[slate swan]

meh

nothing to do with web 0

flask isnt web-related, have a nice day ahead

[slate swan]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[sick birch]

Are you threading?

Not sure how you got flask and a discord bot to work side by side considering flask is blocking and discord.py is not, without threading of course

[slate swan]

i need to pass args from one route to another route

[sick birch]

Okay yeah, either claim a help channel or ask in #web-development

[cerulean folio]

mmmh I'll prefer keeping mine

It's not what I meant by structuring the code

I meant splitting the project in multiple files

And avoid nested code and spaghetti

because I'm so struggling with async functions that I keep rewriting the same code many times

It could be lighter and more elegant

[slate swan]

And how to get the ID of the one who sent the command?

ctx.author.id

[cerulean folio]

So I need someone experienced to like, guide me a little

[slate swan]

!pip discord-interactions.py lemme introduce you to:

[unkempt canyon]

discord-interactions.py v0.0.8

A library around the Discord Interactions API

[cerulean folio]

But ig I won't find so, I'll try my best XD

[slate swan]

author = ctx.author.id

if youre dealing with messy code i would recommend to talk to someone noble or knowledgeable in python that can give suggestions and can help you with your problems and you should use black as its production standard.

[slate swan]

@нυηтєя#0156

embeds.append(result_embed(user_data, dict({'sr_user' : await search_id(int(user_data['sr_id'])),'subject' : await search_id(int(user_data['subject_id'])),'reporter' : await search_id(int(user_data['reporter_id']))})))
``` can break this into diff lines

[slate swan]

yes very smort

[slate swan]

class Counter(discord.ui.View):


    @discord.ui.button( label='0', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, row=1)
    async def count(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        if interaction.user.id == interaction.guild.get_member(interaction.user.id):
            button.label = "123"
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
        else:
            button.label = "321"
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

    @commands.command()
    async def counter(sefl, ctx: commands.Context):
        """Starts a counter for pressing."""
        await ctx.send('Press!', view=Counter())

no no, how to find out the id of the author of the second command and pass it to the first where is the button

[slate swan]

🗿

[slate swan]

same for others too

[slate swan]

wtf is that check

talk with sarth hes very smort

[sick birch]

If you want to access the author who ran the command, and you want to access that author inside of a view, you can pass it in like so:

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
  def __init__(self, *, author: discord.Member, ...):
    self.author = author
    ...
  async def interaction_check(...):
    # access the person who ran the command using `self.author`

@bot.command()
async def my_command(ctx: commands.Context, ...):
  view = MyView(author=ctx.author)
  ...

@slate swan (this was meant for you)

[slate swan]

Cursed 💀

[slate swan]

?🥺

[slate swan]

that check was the same as interaction.user.id == interaction.member.id
😔

see robin's example

nvm it does

[shrewd apex]

do mentions edited in embed give a ping on editing?

[sick birch]

mentions in embeds never ping

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

And how to display the ID of the one who entered the command to check where the button is?

[slate swan]

#discord-bots message

why forward a message 2 times when its the latest message

huh?

#discord-bots message
#discord-bots message

[shrewd apex]

no my bad not embed its like i send u this message and then i edit it to mention u will it ping?

[slate swan]

im trying to install discordpy 2,0 on pycharm, i installed git and it says there's no git in the path even tho i setup it in pycharm settings why?

[sick birch]

What happens if you open a command prompt and type in git --version?

[shrewd apex]

ic

[slate swan]

it would ping, but it won't send a notification/sound to the mentioned user

[paper sluice]

Okihai

[sick birch]

Can you show me what happens when you try it in pycharm?

[slate swan]

ok

[shrewd apex]

ah that's what I wanted to know thank you

[slate swan]

What

[sick birch]

🤔 it should be in your PATH if it works using command prompt

[slate swan]

uh idk ?

just add it to the path if it isnt 😔

Use vsc

no

[sick birch]

Hit the "Test" button

[slate swan]

shows the same thing when i ran it in command prompt, it exists

[slate swan]

Simple and easy

[slate swan]

no please

[slate swan]

it should be personal preference if you are developing at the low level, pycharm is more hardcore kind

but usable by anybody, dont get me wrong

[sick birch]

Hmm not sure then, sorry my knowledge on Pycharm is limited and it's odd since you seem to have everything setup properly

[slate swan]

bruh man

restart pycharm

[slate swan]

already did

[paper sluice]

Ask in #editors-ides u might get help there

[slate swan]

but i'll give it a shot again

[shell wing]

Wdym by low level

Pycharm gives better performance?

[slate swan]

it has greater number of tools for debugging and stuff

wait it is working

and inbuilt support for envs

bruhh

[shell wing]

why wont the module load ??

[slate swan]

pycharm is more for professional developers as it has more features compared to vsc, thats ash's point

features like?

vscode has them too?

[paper sluice]

Pycharm specially made for python, vsc isn't

I hate typing on phone fml

[slate swan]

i prefer vsc tbh

[slate swan]

Yee same

i dont find vsc lacking any feature pycharm has, lemme know if there's one.

[paper sluice]

I left vsc cause the vim plugin was too laggy there

[shell wing]

why is the import failing...

[slate swan]

vim🗿

[slate swan]

DiscordComponents is not a class in that library, and stop using it, use discord.py 2.0 instead.

Pycharm doesn't even have extensions 💀

[slate swan]

cz it isnt a thing

[paper sluice]

It does

[slate swan]

they are called plugins

Yo tf

its ok lol

I called sarth by mistake

F mobil

[paper sluice]

Lol

[slate swan]

if i wouldve done the same mistake to hunter he wouldve picked up

😍

[slate swan]

😳

[slate swan]

sarth wouldve probably sent me a whole paragraph on why i shouldnt have called him

[paper sluice]

He's probably typing that rn

[slate swan]

There should be a confirm button

[slate swan]

😢

[slate swan]

💀

[slate swan]

why so true

[stiff fern]

def check(reaction ,user):
            return reaction.emoji

        reaction = await interaction.client.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
        if reaction.emoji == '![Yes](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/986643084718796810.webp?size=128 "Yes")':
            print('Approved ')
            suggestion_embed.set_footer(text='Status: Accepted\n')
        elif reaction.emoji == '![No](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/986643106835353691.webp?size=128 "No")':
            print('Rejected')
            suggestion_embed.set_footer(text='Status: Rejected\n')

So Im getting an error AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'emoji' and it's referring to the first if statement but I don't have a tuple there so Im a bit confused

[slate swan]

being truthful is good🙏

[slate swan]

Wow I'll check them

[slate swan]

not really, i would have picked up sparky's too if i wasnt in a vc already

[slate swan]

just hang up

youre making him feel unimportant😢

Day 42069 of waiting for Danny to release 2.0 already.

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

[paper sluice]

Give up on dpy lol

[slate swan]

bro💀

[sage otter]

Tf is that

[slate swan]

discord api wrapper im making

so contribute or else

[sage otter]

jokes on you bozo. i don’t fuck with forks

[shrewd apex]

lmao i read too many novels today

[sage otter]

it’s either dpy or hikari for me

[slate swan]

meanwhile discord: hold the automod feature which will delay the release

[slate swan]

😳 join the hikari cult

[slate swan]

next features is in built bots with fun features😩

[paper sluice]

I didn't mean forks, just switch to a completely different lib. Or a better one: give up on discord bots

[slate swan]

studies>>>

[sage otter]

last solution seems rather reasonable ngl

[slate swan]

coding > school

no diff

[slate swan]

coding at school>

[slate swan]

coding at night while its raining > anything

😩

i'd rather sleep

[sage otter]

it’s not the same if I’m not coding on my 42060x42069 megapixel 120 hz refresh rate monitor

[slate swan]

overrated

[sage otter]

So at school is impossible

[slate swan]

its not the same if im not coding without you😔

[sage otter]

[slate swan]

i need someone that understands me like pythons interpreter😔🙏

[shrewd apex]

i got goosebumps

[slate swan]

😩
