[pliant gulch]

Wasn't this all meant to check if a user is nitro? (Or at least what you were wanting to do earlier). But either way, nitro users also don't always have an animated avatar or a custom banner 👁️ 👁️

[placid verge]

Why do you have both message and ctx in your on message function?

[subtle spade]

bruh why is it invis for me

[placid verge]

dude stop mass mention

[subtle spade]

ok chill

i dont see my thing so im confused i thought it didnt upload

[placid verge]

.

[subtle spade]

idk how to use lol

[fading marlin]

on_message only takes 1 parameter: message which is of type discord.Message

[subtle spade]

i think ctx is better

[placid verge]

You can't use both

[subtle spade]

oh

[placid verge]

choose one and delete the other one

[scarlet sorrel]

what string is that for pip install and what string to import

[slate swan]

making a command inside on_message event kek

[subtle spade]

well how do you get the "variables"

with ctx

[scarlet sorrel]

thats all my bot is

[placid verge]

omg

[placid verge]

damn

[subtle spade]

bruh are you gonna help me or not

or roast me like crap

[slate swan]

command to use: pip install hikari import hikari

[placid verge]

dude just remove one 💀

[subtle spade]

ok i removed my message thing

[scarlet sorrel]

oh ok i was confused because it says hikari.impl.rest_bot

[subtle spade]

now tell me how do get the "variables" with ctx

[placid verge]

your code has many problems im damn confused

[subtle spade]

its dif i think?

[subtle spade]

yeah ik thats why i need help

[slate swan]

yeah waitup, now, do you have the guild id or not even that?

[placid verge]

Learn some basics about Discord.py

[scarlet sorrel]

i put trust in discord and assumed recording only message content and message id would be enough to be able to get back the message object, i was sorely mistaken

[subtle spade]

bro can you just help me

and not roast me?

[scarlet sorrel]

ill just say fuck it and record everything from now on

[placid verge]

Well, I'm just trying to help

Telling someone to learn something isn't roasting 💀

[scarlet sorrel]

it is

[placid verge]

It's not

[scarlet sorrel]

most cases it is

[placid verge]

Ok, so don't learn basics about discord.py @subtle spade

is it good now?

[subtle spade]

be useful 😭

bruh

[placid verge]

💀

[slate swan]

ight so start with creating a GatewayBot instance first py bot = hikari.GatewayBot("your token")

[scarlet sorrel]

ok done

[scarlet sorrel]

i had this btw

[slate swan]

now create an async function and name it whatever you want... and add a channels or some variable with value bot.cache.get_guild_channels_view()

[scarlet sorrel]

thats what im tryna do but ofc that did not work at all

[slate swan]

💀 no way this works

[scarlet sorrel]

yea it dont

[slate swan]

^^ do this

[scarlet sorrel]

ok ye ye

[scarlet sorrel]

how do you mean "or some variable with value bot.cache.get_guild_channels_view()"

[slate swan]

now create a for loop which iterates over the_variable.values(), get_guild_channels_view gets you a mapping of channel ids with channels objects

[slate swan]

variable = bot.cache.get_gui....

[scarlet sorrel]

well should i do the async or that

[slate swan]

inside

[slate swan]

and assign it a variable?

[scarlet sorrel]

ok done

[slate swan]

.

[scarlet sorrel]

ok cool done

[slate swan]

what does your code look like rn?

[paper sluice]

interactions in hikari feel faster than dpy ( maybe they are )

[slate swan]

nothing of that will work.

[slate swan]

it is 😉

[slate swan]

;-; remove that mess and do what i'm telling

[scarlet sorrel]

the % done math will and dont i still need to loop over the message id to check each one

[slate swan]

no

[scarlet sorrel]

ok i removed it

[slate swan]

!for

[unkempt canyon]

Did you mean ...

» string-formatting
» for-else

[slate swan]

oof, well thats not how you use a for loop

https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_for_loops.asp

[scarlet sorrel]

cuh

this good?

@slate swan

[slate swan]

yes.

[scarlet sorrel]

btw dont gimme that dude, i do have a good chunk of time coding

hundreds of people use my bot

[slate swan]

now check the instance of value ```py
if isinstance(value, hikari.GuildTextChannel):

[scarlet sorrel]

ok

[lethal drift]

talking about me lmao

[heady sluice]

that doesn't matter if you can't use for loops 😭

[lethal drift]

true, also I love the name xD

[scarlet sorrel]

i know how for loops work cuh i was just doing exactly what he said

[heady sluice]

now create a for loop which iterates over the_variable.values() doesn't change anything on how for loops work

but I don't wanna get into this argument right now

[slate swan]

now create a for loop which iterates over the_variable.values(),
for variable.values()

totally not what i said

[scarlet sorrel]

it is

[heady sluice]

so let's just let it slide

[slate swan]

you know what iterate means right?

[lethal drift]

oof

for i in..

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[heady sluice]

this is the exact reason people who have never learned python are not getting help in the discord.py server

[scarlet sorrel]

try tellling python "on no i meant make a varaible in a for loop to iterate over variable.values() not do that, its ok still do what i told you you'l work it out im sure"

[slate swan]

python linters would already have been shouting at you if you used one. so dont blame anyone

[scarlet sorrel]

the hell is a linters

[heady sluice]

exactly

[scarlet sorrel]

bro dont be talking like that you don't know me

[paper sluice]

those are the tools which highlight syntax errors and try to enforce best practice

[slate swan]

"creating a for loop" includes the for and in statement already.

[scarlet sorrel]

jokes on them i have full "errors" in my main bot code and it still works just fine

[heady sluice]

lmao

[lethal drift]

oooooooof

[paper sluice]

congrats

[slate swan]

anyways.

[paper sluice]

I wish i was as good as you

[slate swan]

back to topic if you wanna continue

[scarlet sorrel]

i disabled error highlighting and warnings highlighting because there are over a thousand of those 2 combined

[scarlet sorrel]

yes please

[slate swan]

mypy strict typing with 0 errors 😏 😏

[scarlet sorrel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/781171022753824788.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

[slate swan]

what's the current code

did you add that isinstance part?

[crystal pelican]

wyd

[lethal drift]

Tried this and it still isn't working with larger intervals 😅

[crystal pelican]

tf is that backround

[paper sluice]

nice setup 😄

[scarlet sorrel]

duuuude im sorry but hoooowwwww do you read your code with that howwwww

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.wait_for please have a look at the check argument, its related to your issue

[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**...

[crystal pelican]

exactly

[lethal drift]

thx lmao

[scarlet sorrel]

i think he may have been sarcastic

[paper sluice]

no.

[scarlet sorrel]

i said may

[paper sluice]

i clarified it

[lethal drift]

I mean... I pay attention to the code?

Don't know what else to tell ya lol

At least I can go about not having errors

[crystal pelican]

what program are you using?

[scarlet sorrel]

im a tad dyslexic so i would be reading it at 1/10 speed with that background

[lethal drift]

Library or the IDE?

[paper sluice]

what exactly is not working?

[crystal pelican]

IDE

[slate swan]

now just add a try except clause with value.fetch_message and keep doing it until it gives you a message object basically ```py
btca = ...
message = None
for value in btca.values():
if isinstance(...):
try:
message = await value.fetch_message(id)
break
except hikari.NotFound: pass

[paper sluice]

contextlib.supress 💀

[slate swan]

i use Vsc with glassit ext

[lethal drift]

if i set the timeout to anything higher than 30 minutes, it tends to not come back with anything as if there's a maximum I can set. When I set to small times (5-10 minutes), it works perfectly

[lethal drift]

Pycharm

[slate swan]

dont really wanna make it more complex

[paper sluice]

i understand

[paper sluice]

why do you want to wait for 30 mins any particular reason?

[crystal pelican]

ya exactly

[lethal drift]

It's a dead chat reviver, it pings after not receiving a message after a set time. Particularly 1 hour

[scarlet sorrel]

ok got that all but what does value.fetch_message() actualy give?

[lethal drift]

it works when the time interval is short though

but seems to cancel the task after a set time

[crystal pelican]

What do you have so far for the code

[slate swan]

you need to enter your message id inside the fetch_message and it gives a hikari.Message object

[paper sluice]

just store the creation time of the last message, and then u can compare that time with the other messages or current time to check if the chat is dead or not

[crystal pelican]

ya that works

[scarlet sorrel]

how do i send a message to the channel that message was in from there?

[slate swan]

message.channel.send

[lethal drift]

How would it go about checking the time automatically though. I used on_message cause that is user controlled and it could tell when a message it sent to a certain channel

[scarlet sorrel]

SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function

await on_ready()

[lethal drift]

async def on_ready()?

[slate swan]

make an event listener for hikari.StartedEvent and use the await inside it

[paper sluice]

what you can store the times of the last two messages, then compare them

[slate swan]

https://hikari-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/events.html#creating-event-listeners

( dont rely on this tho, its incomplete)

[paper sluice]

looks good 👍

[slate swan]

thanksss i had to learn all the three command handlers in order to write this

[paper sluice]

lol

[slate swan]

i didnt write anything like that

[lethal drift]

Ah okie, thank you for the helppp

took me so long to get somewhere with this lol

[scarlet sorrel]

yea i got my bot to write it before i realised you were going to give more information on the subject

[slate swan]

oh ok

[rare saddle]

How to understand what the user entered into the parameter is a link or not?

[paper sluice]

what sort of link are we talking about? things that start with https: or discord specific links?

[slate swan]

works

[rare saddle]

Just check if the parameter is a link

[slate swan]

but why did you use MemberCreateEvent when i asekd for hikari.StartedEvent

[slate swan]

you can check if it contains stuff like https://, http:// www. etc
else you would have to use regex

[paper sluice]

the easiest solution is just checking the str starts with https:// you can use regex ( re ) for more complex patterns

[scarlet sorrel]

uhmmdnmm ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᶦʳˢᵗ ᵗʰᶦⁿᵍ ᶦ ʳᵉᵃᵈ ᶦⁿ ᵗʰᵉ ˡᶦⁿᵏ ʸᵒᵘ ᵍᵃᵛᵉ

[rare saddle]

Oh right, thanks

[rare saddle]

Understood thanks

[scarlet sorrel]

TypeError: Event listener must have one positional argument for the event object.

[slate swan]

make an event listener for hikari.StartedEvent

[slate swan]

add an event argument inside the on_ready function

async def on_ready(_ ):should do

[scarlet sorrel]

ok now it just finishes with exit code 0 instantly

[paper sluice]

its been sometime since i have seen a function like def foo(_)

[slate swan]

did you even run the bot

bot.run() in the end

[scarlet sorrel]

ah

dude i only do what you tell me, last time i didnt you did not like it

[slate swan]

😔 i use an underscore whenever there's an argument ill never be using

[paper sluice]

i still make a proper name and type hint it, but its good for esorteric purposes 😄

[swift pumice]

how can i make a reaction role command? like if someone reacts to a message the user will be given a role

[slate swan]

when ur documentation is bigger than the actual code

[paper sluice]

ya that happens a lot

[paper sluice]

send a message, add a reaction to it and then add a listener to listen for reactions
then u do some checks and add the role

[slate swan]

tbh button roles with persistent views sounds more fun

[scarlet sorrel]

@slate swan AttributeError: module 'hikari' has no attribute 'NotFound'

is this my fault too

or is that actually something weird

[swift pumice]

oh okay

thanks

[slate swan]

NotFoundError

!d discord.NotFound i mixed it with this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.NotFound

exception discord.NotFound(response, message)```
Exception that’s raised for when status code 404 occurs.

Subclass of [`HTTPException`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.HTTPException "discord.HTTPException")

[slate swan]

what you wanna do elias?

[swift pumice]

i want that it will send a message in a specific channel

but i couldnt find anything

[slate swan]

you can get the channel and then send the message there

channel = bot.get_channel(id)
await channel.send("uwu")

[swift pumice]

thank you

[scarlet sorrel]

@slate swan it gets to except hikari.NotFoundError: and then never gets a good value

it takes like 0.3 seconds per loop so do you think it will just take a really really really really long like

[slate swan]

no errors?

[scarlet sorrel]

yea no errors

i think it will just take forever...

[slate swan]

depends on the number of channels your bot can see

[scarlet sorrel]

many

how do i check

[slate swan]

len() on the bot.cache.get_gu...

[scarlet sorrel]

0

[slate swan]

where did you use it

[scarlet sorrel]

it prints "0"

[slate swan]

1 moment

[scarlet sorrel]

it says the name of my bot so it did log in

ping me when you come back btw

[swift pumice]

how can i make that the bot reacts to his own message?

await ctx.message.add_reaction("👶") my current

how can i make that it reacts to his own message? like it reacts to my message

[barren osprey]

slap the bot as if you are an italian mechanic

[swift pumice]

thanks

[paper sluice]

orginal_message = ctx.send(...)
original_message.add_reaction(...)

or if u already sent the message, the ctx.message gets replaced with the message sent by the bot
so this should work

ctx.send(...)
await ctx.message.add_reaction("👶")

[swift pumice]

okay ty

[hushed galleon]

afaik Context will always use .message to refer to the user's message that triggered the command

[paper sluice]

yup, you're right, that happens in interaction. Thanks for clarifying

[hushed galleon]

wait when did interaction do that

i thought that was the purpose of original_message()

[paper sluice]

the most recent message sent by the bot is stored in Interaction.message

[hushed galleon]

are you sure? the dpy 2.0 docs dont describe it like that

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.message

message: The message that sent this interaction.

e.g. if a message had a component that was clicked on

[swift pumice]

@paper sluice ```@bot.listen
async def on_reaction_add(reaction):
guild = bot.get_guild(932688393832390686)
member = guild.get_member(988529250493661184)

if member.reaction_add():
    role = nextcord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=988529250493661184)
    await member.add_roles(role)

[swift pumice]

async def message(ctx):
    channel = bot.get_channel(985970666643816498)
    react = await channel.send("How old are you?(13-15)[React to the message]")
    await react.add_reaction("👶")

@bot.listen
async def on_reaction_add(reaction):
    guild = bot.get_guild(932688393832390686)
    member = guild.get_member(988529250493661184)

    if member.reaction_add():
        role = nextcord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=988529250493661184)
        await member.add_roles(role)
``` my full command

[hushed galleon]

listening for reactions as part of a command can be done in a simpler manner using Client.wait_for(event), rather than dedicating an entire listener to it

[paper sluice]

right, im probably getting it confused with it something else, sry

[heady sluice]

most music bots download music from youtube or spotify, of which both platforms have banned bot automatization

we do not want to know about that

[hushed galleon]

@swift pumice an example of what i described earlier: ```py
@bot.command()
async def handshake(ctx):
message = await ctx.send('Shake my hand!')
await message.add_reaction('🖐️')

def check(reaction, user):
    # only accept a reaction with the same emoji and on the same message
    return reaction.emoji == '🖐️' and reaction.message == message

reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', check=check)
await ctx.send(f'Thank you {user.mention}!')``` in your case you can write the command with a similar pattern, just adding their role afterwards

[swift pumice]

thank you, this was really helpful :) I appreciate your time

[simple gulch]

Hello. I have a discord bot that uses a web scraper. Recently the website we use decided it would like to confuse us all by randomizing the class we draw from? What is the best way to have a wildcard or something for the class. My part of my bot looks something like this currently.
answerBody = soup.find(class_="answer-given-body")

However now they have it like this styled__QnaHtmlContent-oj1dsq-41 duUzTZ where those last digits are random based on the search?

[subtle spade]

yeah so everything works but idk how to do the for element in swearWordsList: thing

i want it to loop but each time the swearWords var is gonna be a item in swearWordsList

[sage otter]

you need to indent your stuff

[subtle spade]

can you just get straight to the point and give me the code?

[sage otter]

bruuu

[subtle spade]

so yes or no

[sage otter]

no because thats not how you learn

[subtle spade]

every time i get here i get bullied for some reason

[sage otter]

If you cant fix something as simple as indentation i have no doubt in my mind you wouldnt understand a solution that I'd give to you

[subtle spade]

bro can you just help me without arguing

[sage otter]

Im not bullying im just telling you the truth

[subtle spade]

you seem to help everyone else

[sick birch]

He is helping

[subtle spade]

yeah tottally

[sick birch]

We expect a certain level of skill when it comes to giving help

[subtle spade]

what if ur new?

[sick birch]

!resources that's why these are here

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

[sick birch]

Would be well worth your time to give those a shot first, then come back to something a little more complex such as discord bots

[subtle spade]

if u decided to learn C# noone would "tell the truth"

[slate swan]

if you're "totally" new discord.py is not a library to work with.

[subtle spade]

yeah i just wanna make a simple bot for my friend

[sick birch]

So you don't stump yourself on relatively simple problems, and you can make better use of your time and solve more interesting/harder problems instead of small, syntax issues

Then knowing a very basic amount of Python should cut it

[subtle spade]

if i cant get help here nor can stackoverflow help me then wth

can you help me tho? and i won't appear here again

[sick birch]

We already did, fix your indentation

[subtle spade]

oh cmon

[sick birch]

I'm not sure what else you want me to tell you

We've given you the solution to your issue

[subtle spade]

maybe code so the thing can launch?

instead of "telling" me the truth

[slate swan]

!indent read this.

[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

[sick birch]

That's spoonfeeding and we don't really do that here

[subtle spade]

k

[sick birch]

If I did, you wouldn't learn indents and you'd be back with the next indent problem

[subtle spade]

im going to ask someone else

thanks robin ig?

[sick birch]

Check out #web-development, you'd get more help with BS4 there

[sage otter]

Also hi @sick birch. Meant to say hi when you came in

[sick birch]

Hi! 😄

[sage otter]

You're not participating in code jam btw?

or are staff not allowed?

[sick birch]

We are, but I'm a bit busy at the moment, what with the bot pin migration project and whatnot

[slate swan]

robin whats the bot pin migration?

like ik all the information in the pins is getting shifted to the site, but is there more?

[frail notch]

hi there my bot won't send emojis 🤔

    await ctx.send("<:verification:emojiid here>")```
The code above sends the following:

[slate swan]

use the escape name of the emoji

[frail notch]

escape name?

[slate swan]

use its object then

[slate swan]

!Python

[frail notch]

thats what i did

thats how i did it

[slate swan]

^

!d discord.Client.get_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_emoji

get_emoji(id, /)```
Returns an emoji with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

it can be used as long as you're consistent between the choice of spaces and tabs, you gotta choose only one 1 tho

[frail notch]

ok

[robust summit]

tabs over spaces /rant_complete

[slate swan]

agreed.

[robust summit]

I don't know if different IDEs see whitespace differently, but VSCode is always yelling at me about indentation in Python (other languages, it's only aesthetic) so if I have to indent, I'm going to do it with fewer keystrokes.

[sick birch]

Keeping a lookout for other good guides, reviewing them and getting them into the site if I see fit. Also reviewing old ones to see if they’re still relevant and need to be removed/edited

[grim oar]

Just black your stuff bro

[robust summit]

I've heard of it, but not using it, as I'm new to Python and want to build good habits

[slate swan]

i was writing a "Getting started with hikari" guide for people who wanted to start with/check out how it works, i wonder if something like that can be included as well?

[grim oar]

You don't really need to care about formatting stuff tbf, black is fine enough

[sick birch]

That would be interesting to see, yes. If you finish it, PR it to python-discord/site and I’ll review it as I’m in charge of reviewing

[slate swan]

oh, sounds great
its actually a readthedocs site for now but can forsure be converted into a mardown file

https://hikari-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
this is the progress in 3 says ⏫

*days

[lethal drift]

@paper sluice Eventually got it to this and it works

[frail notch]

can u send me that background

[lethal drift]

I'll send in dm lol

[frail notch]

thanks

[sick birch]

Awesome. I’ll keep an eye on it. Just PR when you feel ready

Maybe just vim or emacs with compositor transparency enabled

I do something similar but with vscode, picom transparency and background blur. Adds a nice effect imo

Always

Lol.. maybe you don’t have an artistic eye for that, which isn’t bad because I don’t either haha

[rare saddle]

How to get node.identifier from main.py file of on_wavelink_node_ready function in another file?

[sick birch]

I find it helpful to take inspiration from others dot files

[sage otter]

It would probably be better to put the listener in the same file

[lethal drift]

Pycharm

[sage otter]

The superior ide 👌

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling

[lethal drift]

Do you prefer tkinter or Kivy? @sage otter

[sage otter]

Idek what the second one is.

[lethal drift]

Hmm, i don't know how to describe it to make it sound different than the first lol

[slate swan]

not better than Fleet😏

[sage otter]

Haven’t got to use it yet so idk anything about it

[slate swan]

me neither but it looks super nice

Hey! I'm creating a bot that controls a command panel, but am currently running into some issues I don't know how to fix.

from pyautogui import *

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

botToken = "No"
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', help_command=None)

def screenshot():
    with open("hwnd.txt", "r") as file:
        hwnd = int(file.read())

[sick birch]

I'm guessing you have to await screenshot()

Also tip, don't use time.sleep() use asyncio.sleep() instead

[slate swan]

I've already tried that, it just gives me a much much longer error message

[sick birch]

I'd rather see that

Longer errors are usually more descriptive of the issue

[paper sluice]

awesome 😄

yup pycharm does

[pliant gulch]

I just sometimes make my compositor make my terminal transparent

Bam instant custom background

[paper sluice]

lol

can't you just set backgrounds?

[pliant gulch]

I can but that makes me need to edit the config, then reload nvim

I can always just make a key bind in Lua that manually makes the background of nvim transparent

But I’m just lazy

[paper sluice]

oh lol

whats the keybind to zip code?

[slate swan]

The problem has been solved

[pliant gulch]

https://neovim.io/doc/user/pi_zip.html ?

[paper sluice]

something like that

[sage otter]

Take a look at the example Robin made https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

[paper sluice]

i can select sections and ctrl + . in pycharm to like hide/fold code

[flat solstice]

yeah I've already looked at that, I actually based my select menu off that. My issue sees to be caused because I'm trying to pass a list of options in the dropdown __init__ which I'm told is possible so I'm evidently doing something wrong either in the __init__ or when I'm calling the dropdown. I might have just figured out my issue but I'm not sure

[pliant gulch]

Just use foldmethod, by default it should be set to manual. You can go into visual mode, select a few lines then type z+f

[paper sluice]

thanks :)

[pliant gulch]

opening is z+o btw ^ you should def map binds to this to make it easier

[sick birch]

Is screenshot a custom function you made?

[paper sluice]

right, thanks 😄

[slate swan]

It was a function and command . . . 2 hours of staring at VS Code

[sick birch]

That makes sense

[sage otter]

Do you mind if i see a lil more of your code

[flat solstice]

here's the full file https://github.com/SnowyJaguar1034/ModMail-FAQ/blob/master/classes/dropdown.py altho I'm calling it a night as it's 1:15am and I really ought to go to bed

[sage otter]

you dont need the **kwargs

in neither the init or super init

class TestSelect(Select):
    def __init__(self, options: list[discord.SelectOption]):
        super().__init__(placeholder="Test", options=options)

something like this would work

[flat solstice]

Okay thanks, I'll test it tomorrow.

[harsh briar]

Hello, how can i have my bot online forever without having to keep the .py file open

[sage otter]

Theres a thread for this channel called discord-bot-hosting that you can take a look at

[lethal drift]

Not so awsome when it started spamming 😅
Forgot the 24th hour went to 0 which caused a whole can of bugs

[hardy yoke]

You need to find a way to host the bot. Either pay for a host (around $2-4 p month), buy something to self-host with (raspberry pi), or use a free host (like repl).
Free ones aren't good on a large scale

[shell wing]

how many buttons can i add in a single message ?

[shrewd apex]

25

[tough slate]

how to mention a specific role without using ctx?

[desert heart]

Do you know the ID of that role?

[tough slate]

Yes

@desert heart

[desert heart]

await channel.send("<@&400499713570242571>")

That number should be the role's ID

[tough slate]

Its supposed to ping in an embed description

although its not IMPORTANT that it does it there i suppose

[desert heart]

Same idea. Just put a string like that in the embed.

[tough slate]

I thjink ive tried that but ill try again

[tough slate]

it comes out like <400499713570242571> in the embed (but with my roles ID)

wait im a fool

It says deleted-role even though I currently have the role

[desert heart]

Are you sure the ID is correct

[tough slate]

Ah i think at some point i used the ID of the message with the ping in it and not the role

Thanks @desert heart . It works now

[slate swan]

hey @sick birch ( sorry for the ping ), i was wondering if it was possible to build the PyDis site locally? Also, is there some limit for the information to mention in the guides? cause im covering almost all the important parts, including basic things related to the Discord API itself

[desert heart]

You mean pythondiscord.com?

[slate swan]

yessir

[desert heart]

Yes, you can run it yourself https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/pydis-guides/contributing/site/

[slate swan]

tysm

[robust fulcrum]

I am not able to understand how can I do it

[slate swan]

what you wanna do?

[robust fulcrum]

Like I used the poll command and message I'd is 45584938 and I store into variable

And if I use poll command again and store 73883838 message id into variable the first one ID would stop working

If i want every I'd works until my bot stops or reload

[robust fulcrum]

How can I do this?

[shrewd apex]

u have to fetch the message in raw reaction add event using message id

[robust fulcrum]

I am not able to understand the variables thing @shrewd apex

[slate swan]

make a database, that's the only option ....

[dusky pine]

ash u not joining codejam?

[robust fulcrum]

Sqlite again ;-;

[slate swan]

nop

[slate swan]

absolutely (or postgreSQL) is better ofc

[robust fulcrum]

I'll try postgresql

Let me get it's info first

[slate swan]

it's harder than sqlite fyi

[maiden fable]

Ngl MongoDB is nice, u should check it out

[slate swan]

no

mongoDB is bad

[maiden fable]

Why would u say so....?

[slate swan]

just feels like it

[maiden fable]

....

[slate swan]

lmao anyways, if you wanna have a bot in production, idts that 512 mb of ram will be fine forever

storage*

my bad

[maiden fable]

As long as u ain't storing data locally, that's fine. I mean, Python files are hardly a few KBs

[slate swan]

mhm, so what's your point?

[maiden fable]

That 512 MB is enough as long as u ain't storing data locally in the form of files or a db

[slate swan]

mhm

Hunter smarty

[robust fulcrum]

@slate swan there is password port and server thing in postgresql

Idk how could I get password

[dusky pine]

ash it's your time to teach him postgres

wake up 😄🎉

[slate swan]

I'm going to sleep it's 6 am

[robust fulcrum]

It's 10:37 am for me

But do i need to download any app for postgresql

I'll use sqlite

Postgresql is confusing

[dusky pine]

why'd you even try using postgres when you're not familiar with sqlite yet

[robust fulcrum]

I am very cunfused for the poll comamnd

It's very hard to make

    @commands.command()
    async def poll(self,ctx,question,options:int):
        if options <= 10 and options > 1:
            await ctx.send("Type the name of options accordingly",delete_after=3)
            optionlist = []
            option = 1
            def check(msg):
                return msg.author.id == ctx.author.id and msg.channel.id == ctx.channel.id
            while option <= options:
                option = option+1
                await ctx.send("enter the name of option",delete_after=3)
                optname = await self.bot.wait_for('message',check=check, timeout=20)
                await optname.delete() 
                optname = optname.content
                optionlist.append(optname)
            queno = len(optionlist)
            sends = questions(queno,question,optionlist)
            react = await ctx.send(embed=sends)
            await reaction(react,options)

Anyone pls help

[slate swan]

imagine getting contradictory in 12 hours

[robust fulcrum]

Whats contradictory

[slate swan]

earlier you said that it's really easy and now imagine

[robust fulcrum]

I told command i easy

Not the graph

[slate swan]

graph?

[robust fulcrum]

ᕙ( ͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)ᕗ

[slate swan]

ew

[robust fulcrum]

Asher's challenge

[slate swan]

weirdest

[robust fulcrum]

I am so confused

Idea!

I can make a seprate comamdb for the graph

Like

graphical and reply to the poll comamnd and get graph

It would be easy to make

@shrewd apex

[slate swan]

dictionaries bad bad

[robust fulcrum]

Can I make a seprate command for graph?

[slate swan]

why not?

[robust fulcrum]

@slate swan is there any way to get reaction count of a specific emoji on a message?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Reaction.users

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.users

async for ... in users(*, limit=None, after=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") representing the users that have reacted to the message.

The `after` parameter must represent a member and meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

Changed in version 2.0: `limit` and `after` parameters are now keyword-only.

Examples

Usage...

[slate swan]

^

[shrewd apex]

rip

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm

[robust fulcrum]

@shrewd apex ^

[shrewd apex]

make

i dont mind

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[shrewd apex]

u can call the graph command in the poll command :kek:

[robust fulcrum]

How?

How to get message_id the of the message to which we reply?

[shrewd apex]

just like a normal function

[slate swan]

!d discord.MessageReference needs to be here

[unkempt canyon]

discord.MessageReference

class discord.MessageReference(*, message_id, channel_id, guild_id=None, fail_if_not_exists=True)```
Represents a reference to a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message").

New in version 1.5.

Changed in version 1.6: This class can now be constructed by users.

[robust fulcrum]

Ohk

[slate swan]

hm yeah its message.reference.message_id

[robust fulcrum]

Oh k

@shrewd apex like if i replied to poll comamnd and did the graph comamnd how can I get count of options?

[shrewd apex]

rip bro stop pinging every 5 lines

[robust fulcrum]

Here is comamnd

[robust fulcrum]

Let me di challenge

[shrewd apex]

^^

[robust fulcrum]

The number of options (i.e reactions)

Like number of options to question are there

[robust fulcrum]

Not message id

[slate swan]

How to get message_id the of the message to which we reply?
?????

[robust fulcrum]

Do it give id of message to which we replied?

[slate swan]

yes.

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[left idol]

how would i make a custom cooldown for a command?

i.e. regular members have 10s and specific role has none

[robust fulcrum]

Whats the syntax of it?

[slate swan]

click on the link

[robust fulcrum]

I am not able to understand it's syntax

[dusky pine]

do you have the slightest clue of what properties and/or variables are 😭

[slate swan]

bro there's literally an example there

https://hikari-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rest_and_cache.html another hour utilised 😏

[robust fulcrum]

Do i need to use the async thing

[slate swan]

ofcourse

the second one would be easier for you tho*

or wait

!d discord.Reaction.count just use this @robust fulcrum

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.count

Number of times this reaction was made

[robust fulcrum]

number = discord.Reaction.count(emoji='😵')

Is it correct?

[slate swan]

no

[robust fulcrum]

Do i need to give message id

[dusky pine]

it's not a function

[robust fulcrum]

?

number = discord.Reaction.count(emoji='😵',message=127383838)

Is it correct now?

[dusky pine]

your pfp is gone

[robust fulcrum]

Whats the correct way to do that then?

[vale wing]

@slate swan add python to PATH

Easy method is to reinstall python with "Add Python to PATH" checkmark, a bit more difficult is add it manually

Try py -m pip

python3 -m pip

If still doesn't work you probably did that wrong

Did you even install the interpreter

Python interpreter yes

https://python.org/downloads

Yes

Uninstall it and install again with the checkmark

[slate swan]

did you delete the old installation?

python

cool, now install nextcord and try

[iron sorrel]

is there a way i can make certain events get triggered lets say at 7pm exactly everyday, using discord package?

[sage otter]

you can use tasks

and Bot.dispatch()

[iron sorrel]

to dispatch an event?

[sage otter]

yea

[iron sorrel]

and make my own event your saying?

[sage otter]

wdym by make your own event

whats your implementation?

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html is for your scheduling

[iron sorrel]

i know tasks but

how do i schedule them so they trigger at

lets say sunrise sundown, and change some emoji in the server

[vale wing]

What IDE do you have @slate swan

[vale wing]

Store the time in a database and check?

[sage otter]

you can use before_loop

Ill send a quick example from dpy

Actually nevermind

if your using dpy 2.0

The tasks framework was updated

[iron sorrel]

no there are tools for this

[sage otter]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop.time

[iron sorrel]

disnake

[sage otter]

ouch

[vale wing]

CTRL + SHIFT + P -> select interpreter

[sage otter]

# interval must be a divisor of 24 hours to function predictably
@tasks.loop(hours=6)
async def task_at_specific_times():
    ...

@task.before_loop
async def wait_until_time():
    # this will use the machine's timezone
    # to use a specific timezone use `.now(timezone)` without `.astimezone()`
    # timezones can be acquired using any of
    # `datetime.timezone.utc`
    # `datetime.timezone(offset_timedelta)`
    # `pytz.timezone(name)` (third-party package)
    now = datetime.datetime.now().astimezone()

    # `task_at_specific_times` here should be replaced with the name of your task function
    task = task_at_specific_times
    interval = datetime.timedelta(hours=task.hours, minutes=task.minutes, seconds=task.seconds)

    # insert one of the times at which the task should run
    # if it should run every 8 hours at 2:00/10:00/18:00, any of those times can be given
    next_run = now.replace(hour=3, minute=0, second=0)

    while next_run > now:
        next_run -= interval
    next_run += interval

    await discord.utils.sleep_until(next_run)

Heres the example they provided for non 2.0 then

[iron sorrel]

alright thanks

[vale wing]

Restart IDE

And yeah you better use venv

[robust fulcrum]

Asher sorry i lost your challenge
I have no other option of making graphs
Sorry

[shrewd apex]

rip nvm it's fine atleast u tried

[shrewd apex]

🎉 👍

good job anyways

[robust fulcrum]

I can send you the command code
I wrote it very simple

[shrewd apex]

just send a ss

[robust fulcrum]

ss?

Whats ss

[dusky pine]

screenshot

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[robust fulcrum]

Nvm the question

[shrewd apex]

nais Ashley for the win🎉

[dusky pine]

i vote ashley

:p

[robust fulcrum]

Just see the command is working

Any new challenge?
Don't give a hard one

🥺

[shrewd apex]

rip i am out of ideas ask others

[robust fulcrum]

@dusky pine any challenge for me?

[shrewd apex]

u play any games on mobile?

[dusky pine]

web dashboard with API

[robust fulcrum]

A lot 😂

[shrewd apex]

or any online games

[dusky pine]

API to access bot's statistics including user and/or server count

[shrewd apex]

make a stats command for that using the games api if it has one

[robust fulcrum]

1: genshin impact
2: Minecraft
3: free fire

[shrewd apex]

make for genshin then

[robust fulcrum]

Very hard

[robust fulcrum]

Ok I'll try

[shrewd apex]

it will be a big project to keep u busy

[robust fulcrum]

Let me search if it have api

[dusky pine]

ok

here's a real challenge: don't ask any help in this server for the challenge xD

well ima get going, gonna reinstall win11

[robust fulcrum]

Win11 is bad use win10

[robust fulcrum]

Game stats or player stats?

[cloud dawn]

Win 11 is fine

[slate swan]

https://genshin.dev/ it's an unofficial API but okay

[cloud dawn]

I think only very few people here can make a dashboard rn within a day New people can take months to just get started on the right way to code one.

Its a nice skill to have tough since you will be learning, python, js, css, html and the fundementals on how to create an api.

Since it also needs to be async many options are off the table.

[robust fulcrum]

I only know python but 50% only

:(

[cloud dawn]

Ive never met someone who knows it 100%

[robust fulcrum]

You all here know a lot of languages

[slate swan]

50% python 💀

[placid skiff]

How much you know a language doesn't really matter, how well you can understand the docs does

[robust fulcrum]

Whats bad in it I am learning it yet

[slate swan]

thats not bad, thats too good

remove the spaces

stop ? ing,
"❓" is an emoji
"❓ " is an emoji + string

and youre doing the 2nd one

[shrewd apex]

make a whole system for that

[robust fulcrum]

I am not able understand what thing you want me to make

[shrewd apex]

just make commands for those stats necessary or a user might want to see

[slate swan]

Bot has admin perms and doesn't seem to read or send messages

[shrewd apex]

intents

[slate swan]

enabled or disabled?

[shrewd apex]

enabled

message intent

[slate swan]

ohh

u have to enable that now?

[shrewd apex]

in applications page

[slate swan]

but it says "This intent will not be enforced until after August 31, 2022"

[robust fulcrum]

Like server status and version of game

[shrewd apex]

and in code also

[slate swan]

how so in the code?

[shrewd apex]

just add what u want to see as a genshin player

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client"), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.

[robust fulcrum]

Do

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='any prefix ' ,intents=intents)

This will enable all intents

[rancid halo]

super quick question, is there a guide to using the decorators like @bot.command() somewhere?

[robust fulcrum]

Search google

[slate swan]

also if I want multiple prefix's can I just do command_prefix=[".", "$"]

[placid skiff]

Until you test the bot you can enable all intents lmao

[robust fulcrum]

Just telling

[placid skiff]

Nope, you will have to configure it

[shrewd apex]

y do u need guide for that? u just use the decorator are u asking guide for how to use decorators?

[slate swan]

really? How so

[shrewd apex]

custom prefix

[rancid halo]

yeah I'm not familiar with using decorators, the most I've done is @staticmethod

[shrewd apex]

search Google then I don't remember any good tutorial for decorators

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm what would I see on discord

[shrewd apex]

rip bro how would ik i haven't played genshin

[robust fulcrum]

Do you want a tutorial on python decoraters or discord.py decorators?

[robust fulcrum]

I also not played from month

I am lazy to update the game

[rancid halo]

discord.py ideally, would be super appreciated

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm search YouTube or Google

[placid skiff]

first you will need a way to store your custom prefixes like a database

[shrewd apex]

i don't think u will need another deco just learn these for discord bots @staticmethod @property @dataclass @bot.command @bot.event @commands.group

[robust fulcrum]

He should use sqlite ig?

[slate swan]

Why doesn't a list just work

[rancid halo]

alright cool, and I'm guessing the last three are already in the docs?

[placid skiff]

because it will be empty again when you stop and execute again your code

[slate swan]

How??

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmmm

[placid skiff]

uhm it seems that you don't have a good knowledge
When you execute a code that it has some variables during the runtime you set those variables, but once you execute the code again you will need to set those variables again

The compiler doesn't have a non volatile memory

so when we need to save some variables we need a way to do that

[robust fulcrum]

We need to define a dictionary at start
Like
prefixes = []
And we append it lator
It gets empty when we start bot again
Cause we define it again in code

[slate swan]

I just tested it and it worked, even after stopping and restarting my code..

[slate swan]

that would be a list not a dict

[robust fulcrum]

Sorry i mean list

[slate swan]

all good

[robust fulcrum]

Just use a database simple @slate swan

Use sqlite

[placid skiff]

because you assign those variables manually in the code, like
var = "this is a string"

[slate swan]

if it helps, the bot will only be used in one server

[placid skiff]

custom prefixes are dynamic, the user will assign them

[slate swan]

I really don't see how it would be a problem

[placid skiff]

[slate swan]

🤷

would using iterable strings instead be better

[placid skiff]

Where is hunter when i need him

[robust fulcrum]

Idk what a genhsin players would see on discord
Tell me if you want to give me challenge

[slate swan]

@placid skiff just explain to me man

[placid skiff]

I did lmao

[placid skiff]

Really i can't find nothing more clear than this

[slate swan]

So what's the worst scenario if I do it the way I said?

[placid skiff]

Everytime you stop the bot and run it again the server will have to set the prefixes again

[slate swan]

The discord server?

[placid skiff]

Yup

[slate swan]

Or Discord itself

[slate swan]

If it's in one server though?

[placid skiff]

It's the same thing

If you don't have a storage method the prefix will be set to default everytime you stop and run the code again

[slate swan]

And default is what?

[placid skiff]

it will be assign when a server has not set a custom prefix yet

when the bot joins a guild the custom prefix is not set, but it will need a default prefix otherwise the bot will not be usable

[slate swan]

So can I not just make the default prefix the custom prefix?

[placid skiff]

The custom prefix is not even assigned in the moment that the default prefix is used, the custom doesn't exists yet

[slate swan]

I think we are on 2 different paths here

[placid skiff]

essentially, the default can exists if the custom exists too, but if the default exists and it is in used that means that the custom doesn't exists

Yeah bro i know, tbh it's like when i explained to my classmates how to resolve the code that the teacher assigned to us

[slate swan]

prefixes = "e. ", "p. " 
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=prefixes)

This will work?

[placid skiff]

no

[maiden fable]

Blvck, u ain't participating in the code jam?

[placid skiff]

the bot can't have a list, or whatever that is, as a prefix

[maiden fable]

It can

And that's a tuple

!e
a = 1, 2
print(type(a))

[unkempt canyon]

@maiden fable :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

<class 'tuple'>

[placid skiff]

lol weird

btw i'm working

[maiden fable]

?

[slate swan]

@maiden fable so you're saying the bot can have this

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=["e. ", "q. "])

[maiden fable]

Yes

[slate swan]

@placid skiff told you so 🤣

[maiden fable]

Calm down

[slate swan]

I'm sorry just he was so confident I was wrong

[placid skiff]

And what you would do when the server wants to change the prefix?

add it to the list?

[slate swan]

That's what I was trying to say.. the server doesn't get to choose or change the prefix

[shrewd apex]

i don't see the point of multiple prefixes for a single guild it just blocks other viable prefixes for other bots

[shrewd apex]

well i suppose u can have a default list for each guild in ur db and then add to that list rip💀

[shrewd apex]

wbu?👀

[maiden fable]

I want to, but I can't

[shrewd apex]

y?

[maiden fable]

I got school from Monday and I am unsure if I'mma get enough time for deving with the team. If I was able to choose my own team, it would have been a different case

[shrewd apex]

ic rip

hopefully i get teamed up with ppl ik idk much about websockets

will be a new experience

[sullen pewter]

sheesh

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/793258199179460660/793527388091711548/image0-1-3.gif

[placid skiff]

You're way better than me, i have released an application few days ago and now i've to work on it again cuz the client sends files with too many data and either the server where the app is hosted doesn't have enough RAM to elaborate those files or the client gives bad gateway error when sending the request with the data elaborated

[supple thorn]

Oh shit it's about websockets?

[slate swan]

yeah

[supple thorn]

Good thing i haven't done shit

Been procrastinating on submitting the code for the qualifier

[slate swan]

atleast try it lol

[shrewd apex]

go for it

just for the ☂️

[supple thorn]

I'm torn between choosing newbie experience or the next one

[slate swan]

the emoji exists btw

@commands.command()
    async def play(self, ctx):

            ctx.voice_client.play("http://s02.fjperezdj.com:8006/live")```

error:TypeError: source must an AudioSource not str

who can help me?

[shrewd apex]

the play()

u cant play a string

[slate swan]

!d discord.VoiceClient.play

!d discord.AudioSource

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AudioSource

class discord.AudioSource```
Represents an audio stream.

The audio stream can be Opus encoded or not, however if the audio stream is not Opus encoded then the audio format must be 16-bit 48KHz stereo PCM.

Warning

The audio source reads are done in a separate thread.

[slate swan]

hmm

[paper sluice]

you can also subtract two timedeltas and then compare the difference

[slate swan]

how to use it?

what are you trying to do? i dont have much experience with Voice

[supple thorn]

God help me

[slate swan]

radio

[shrewd apex]

how will u do radio with discord bots can discord bots even intercept radio signals

imagine discord bots playing fm radio

[shrewd apex]

look on the plus side idk much either 💀

[slate swan]

it worked, but now something is wrong

On replit this worked

did you install pynacl

"pynacl

[shrewd apex]

also dpy 2.0 with voice support

[slate swan]

yes

[left vector]

@bot.command()
async def link(ctx):
    await ctx.send('yo:' , 'text')
```new to this why does this not work

oh wait i

[robust fulcrum]

@jade yew

[left vector]

ima remove space

[grim oar]

don't put 'text' as a different arg

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how we can install discord.py[voice] 2.0?

[left vector]

how do i do that

[grim oar]

send(f"yo: {text}")

fstring

[robust fulcrum]

Ye f string

It's simple to use and better formatter

[left vector]

thank you

[jade yew]

say

[cold tide]

Anyone know why this isn't working?

[robust fulcrum]

Send code

[cold tide]

B

Mb hold on

[jade yew]

@robust fulcrum ask

[robust fulcrum]

2 mins

Guys can anyone help @jade yew to start at discord.py?

[placid skiff]

Someone knows how to calc the limit of data that i can send to a server (post request) before it gives back gateway timeout? :L

i'm going mad literally

[cold tide]

Anyone know why this isn't working?

[jade yew]

@kind hill help me in doing discord.py

[paper sluice]

you have weird indentation

[hollow badger]

Don't ping random people for help.

[robust fulcrum]

Don't ping owners

Against rules

[paper sluice]

args are not strs

[jade yew]

ok

[cold tide]

can anyone help me though?

[robust fulcrum]

Hey ryuga i need some help

[paper sluice]

they are supposed to be like
name='...', value='...'

[robust fulcrum]

Can you help me?

[paper sluice]

with?

[paper sluice]

i told you what the problem is

[cold tide]

You mind helping me out? Still learning discord.py

[robust fulcrum]

@jade yew he is my friend he wants to start with dpy . Can you guide him at startup

[left vector]

ran = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits, k = S))    
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=';', intents = discord.Intents.all())

@bot.command()
async def dick(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"descord.gg/{ran}")

can anybody help me make this so whenever i say ;dick it always generates a new random instead of the same random one

ik i put it descord cuz if i do discord python bot thinks its a link

[paper sluice]

hmm, learn OOP and basics of async programming then check out the pinned messages in this channel, there are some guides linked there

[paper sluice]

@cold tide

[placid skiff]

learn what decorators are so you will not ask that here

[left vector]

can i make it a function and call it every time i want a new string?

[robust fulcrum]

How we can download discord.py[voice] 2.0?

[left vector]

def text():
    ran = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits, k = S))


@bot.command()
async def dick(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"descord.gg/{ran}")
    text()
    await ctx.send(f"descord.gg/{ran}")
    text()
    await ctx.send(f"descord.gg/{ran}")
    text()```
will this work?

name ran isnt defined

[paper sluice]

it will not, ran is local to text function
if you want to access it you will probably have to return it

[robust fulcrum]

How we can download discord.py[voice] 2.0?

[paper sluice]

i highly recommend learning how functions and scopes in python work before you get into making discord bots

[paper sluice]

Here is how to update your installation of discord.py

**Stable: **

# [voice] = optional for voice support.

python -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
Requirements:

• Python 3.5.3+

Beta/Alpha:
# #egg=discord.py[voice] = optional for voice support.

# --upgrade or -U flag is not needed here since it does not know about the previous installation.
# so always reinstalls the latest.
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/rapptz/discord.py#egg=discord.py[voice]

Requirements:

• git (https://git-scm.com/downloads)
• Python 3.8+

bruh

omg so smart i acctualy got it to work😎

i feel amazing my copy and paisting skills are on point

[atomic wolf]

success

[robust fulcrum]

@paper sluice it installed discord.py again not voice

[left vector]

@bot.command()
async def 10(ctx):

will that work? ^

[paper sluice]

try using voice related features and see if they work, i have never worked with this

[robust fulcrum]

Do i need toimport discord.py[voice]?

[paper sluice]

no user defined names in python cannot start with numbers or be full numbers

[paper sluice]

no? idk what are you trying to do?

[left vector]

oh kk

[slate swan]

it did install

it just installs PyNaCl for you that works with the current dpy version without conflict

[ocean parcel]

hello there

here we talk about discord-pthon stuff right?

[paper sluice]

yup

[robust fulcrum]

How can we get a channel from the channel ID?

[paper sluice]

bot.get_channel(channel-id)

[robust fulcrum]

In cogs?

self.bot?

[paper sluice]

that will only work if the channel is in bot's cache, otherwise you would have to use fetch_channel

[paper sluice]

yup

[robust fulcrum]

I wanted my bot to connect to voice channel but we can't get voice channel id
How can I do it?

[ocean parcel]

i have question guys

can some one help?

[robust fulcrum]

Tell the question

Maybe I could i help

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how to fix this error?

[ocean parcel]

im working on discord bot

but wut it turn i need to send msg from the console of javascript

[slate swan]

dear friends, please tell me if there is any information about: "if I activate one command, cooldown starts for another team

[ocean parcel]

"ctrl + shit + c"

when i search in the elements section there is not input section to send me

so how can i send msg using console

@robust fulcrum

have u understand?

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm 😶

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
guild: int = 972222588828942337

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
await bot.get_guild(guild).get_channel(channel).send(f'content' : {message.content}"\nuser : {message.author}\n{"attachements"\n" + "\n".join(message.attachements) if message.attachements is not None else "})
bot.run("token")

Hello, there is an error in send(f'content how can I fix it?

[robust fulcrum]

Send in python code block format

[ocean parcel]

this what i mean

there is not input element

[robust fulcrum]

Bruh

The console on chrome runs java not python

[ocean parcel]

my problem in html

there is no in put

[robust fulcrum]

Wtf man

[robust fulcrum]

Why you asking here then

It's for discord bots not html

[slate swan]

channel is None

[robust fulcrum]

?

I want it connect to channel in which i am connected

[slate swan]

but channel is None, so it cant

[robust fulcrum]

Channel is none?

Sorry i unable to understand what you mean

[robust fulcrum]

How can I fix it?

[paper sluice]

when the channel is not in the bot's cache, get_channel will return None

you need to fetch_channel when its not in the bot's cahce

[robust fulcrum]

Ohhhh

[robust fulcrum]

    @commands.command()
    async def connect(self,ctx, *,channel: discord.VoiceChannel):
        await channel.connect()

Will it work i got from rapptz examples folder?

[slate swan]

and how are you mentioning the channel?

[robust fulcrum]

I am asking this

We cant mention voice channels

[slate swan]

W.H.Y?

[robust fulcrum]

Yes

[slate swan]

but you can...?

#799641437645701151

<#channel_id>

[#799641437645701151](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/799641437645701151/)

[robust fulcrum]

It's the text channel

[slate swan]

how can it connect to a text channel

[robust fulcrum]

I am asking you this only

[slate swan]

what?!!??!?!

[robust fulcrum]

I can't even get channel id of voice channel

[slate swan]

but why....

[robust fulcrum]

How we can get channel id to which we are connected?

[hollow osprey]

Developer Mode > Right Click > Copy id

[robust fulcrum]

On mobile ........

[hollow osprey]

long press

[slate swan]

ctx.author.voice.channel.id assuming you have a context

^

[hollow osprey]

long press the channel name. it'll open a bottom sheet

[robust fulcrum]

I am at bottom

There is not option

[hollow osprey]

or just do this in the bot code

[slate swan]

even I'm not able to access the id for voice channels on phone

😔

or I'm just dumb

[slate swan]

phone

[robust fulcrum]

How to disconnect from channel?

await channel.disconnect()?

[paper sluice]

i can

[robust fulcrum]

Show then

[hollow osprey]

just long press the channel name peeps

[robust fulcrum]

Send ss

[slate swan]

oh then
#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

lmao my long presses aint even working

[hollow osprey]

that's an old mobile 👀

[robust fulcrum]

Ye

We cant do on latest version of discord

[paper sluice]

ya lol

[robust fulcrum]

How to disconnect from channel?

[hollow osprey]

what, you absolutely can

[robust fulcrum]

Can't bro

I can give you proof too

[hollow osprey]

I'm using the beta

[robust fulcrum]

Beta is bad

Don't use

[hollow osprey]

so it's even later than latest 🥴

[slate swan]

...

[hollow osprey]

no jokes allowed in #discord-bots ? sad

[robust fulcrum]

When i long press nothing comes

@slate swan which mobile you have?

[slate swan]

oneplus

[robust fulcrum]

I ahve oppo a30

Not rich

[slate swan]

[robust fulcrum]

Money saving

Idk why i cant get id

How to disconnect from channel?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.VoiceClient.disconnect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceClient.disconnect

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

Disconnects this voice client from voice.

[slate swan]

nvm

[robust fulcrum]

Whats the syntax?

await channel.disconnect()?

[slate swan]

channel = ctx.voice_client
await channel.disconnect()

[maiden fable]

await ctx.voice_client.disconnect()

[robust fulcrum]

It gives error

[slate swan]

Hunter, ctx.guild was also fine

since ctx.voice_client is just a shortcut to ctx.guild.voice_client

[maiden fable]

NoneType error?

Well, yea. But then we all prefer ctx.send to ctx.channel.send, right?

[slate swan]

mhm true

http.send_message

😔

[paper sluice]

bro, just broadcast radio waves

easy stuff

[slate swan]

ryuga stop

[robust fulcrum]

Yeees i have made the connect and disconnect command

[unkempt canyon]
