discord-bots

[dusky pine]

wtf is that

show the code

Put the applications_checks thing above the bot.command

[frozen patio]

👀

Oop

Well try it and see if what he suggested works'

Ok

@commands.has_role()

Try that?

Ok?

It's the same thing

[slate swan]

nope

[frozen patio]

Last time I checked

O yea the update

When did they change it?

Not what I said

What did nextcord change it to

Oh

[slate swan]

nothing, nextcord has its own application commands

[frozen patio]

I thought @commands.has_role() worked

[slate swan]

hi enzo

move the check about @bot.command

*above

[frozen patio]

Same error?

Then what was the error when you moved it up?

[dusky pine]

🤦 should've told us there was another error

[frozen patio]

Ikr

[dusky pine]

your interaction variable is not an interaction

that is not a slash command

no, try replacing @bot.command with @bot.slash_command

why did you name it interaction

[frozen patio]

then use ctx

[dusky pine]

AUGHHHHHHHH

ok whatever just rename it to ctx

[frozen patio]

You still don't pass in interaction to that

[dusky pine]

and ctx.user doesn't exist, it's ctx.author

[slate swan]

just change @bot.command to @bot.slash_command if you have that there

a context is passed for a command, and an interaction is passed for a slash command

[dusky pine]

they're not using slash commands 😭

codebase is confuse

[slate swan]

why are they using application checks then

[dusky pine]

idfk

[slate swan]

should be using commands.has_any_role as Jonathan said

[dusky pine]

app checks are for slash cmds

Nope

if you want these features just switch to slash commands

[robust fulcrum]

@shrewd apex can you exactly my tell me what type of genshin impact comamnd you are telling me

[shell wing]

ok sry for ping...but uk u told me to use railway and im having trouble...and the support server aint responding

show your configurations?

[cinder horizon]

what exactly does on_disconnect do.......like obv it cant send a msg aftr iz been disconnected so....waz da use?

[slate swan]

like if you have some running tasks which interact with databases and stuff, you can safely close them in on_disconnect

there are more purposes

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @shell wing!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[cinder horizon]

now tht makes sense

[slate swan]

cool, do you have a requirements.txt in your github?

[shell wing]

i didnt made one...

[cinder horizon]

high time u did

[slate swan]

thats the issue, how would the deployment know what libraries you need, create a requirements.txt, add the libraries you pip installed there

[shell wing]

i only installed discord cause this is like a test one

just to see the hosting site and all

[slate swan]

discord.py
``` in your requirements.txt

[shell wing]

oh cool ima try

the intents are fine...but it still shows this error

[shell wing]

it still isnt loading

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iweyuxamat

heres the error

is this a virus

or nah

[slate swan]

this is not error, atleast read it,
its installing your libraries

whats the problem?

its interaction.response.send_message

if team2 in user.roles
is thing condition even true?

... your code wont execute if this is False

add some print statements inside that to check it

[shell wing]

sry sry so itll work after some time or what ?

[slate swan]

yes as soon as its installed you can check deploy logs to see if its working or not

great.

[slate swan]

What is team2 ?

[dusky pine]

Make a command that solves simple math equations like 2+2 or 4-2

[robust fulcrum]

Am i allowed to use any library?

[slate swan]

The error told you that team2 is None.

[dusky pine]

No, just use discord.py

I would consider using another library cheating

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm not possible without any library

[dusky pine]

it's possible 🤦

[slate swan]

But NoneType has no attribute called name ?

[robust fulcrum]

Python can be used for addition subtraction multiplication and division not equations

[slate swan]

well i guess you meant to use discord.Member maybe ?

[dusky pine]

!e

s = "2+2"

first_num = int(s[0])
op = s[1]
second_num = int(s[2])

if op == "+":
    print(first_num + second_num)

[unkempt canyon]

@dusky pine :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

[dusky pine]

@robust fulcrum it's literally possible to make a calculator

[slate swan]

@robust fulcrum i created a calculator before in GUI using only tkinter.

[robust fulcrum]

I thought you mean the big equation
Like 5+6+8-5

[dusky pine]

I said simple equations

u can try big equations if you want but simple is fine

[robust fulcrum]

Simple is as simple as pie

I'll make a big equation one

[slate swan]

in that case i guess that team2 = roles2[i] never assigned so it is None as you put before.

try using try-except statement so you can avoid error when the roles[i] is not exists.

try:
  emoji2 = team2.name.replace(" ", "_")
except:
  print ("Error")

[slate swan]

sum() like: 🗿

[dusky pine]

just two numbers so it's fine

[paper sluice]

it would be easier to use ast to parse the equation and then get the output

[slate swan]

Use eval to execute strings as code so you can create calculator that calculate anything.

[paper sluice]

no

[dusky pine]

!e

print(sum([int(i) for i in "2+2".split("+")]))

rip

[slate swan]

Why little man ?

don't recommend eval, it unsafe. you can execute any python command using that.

!d ast.literal_eval

[unkempt canyon]

ast.literal\_eval

ast.literal_eval(node_or_string)```
Safely evaluate an expression node or a string containing a Python literal or container display. The string or node provided may only consist of the following Python literal structures: strings, bytes, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, sets, booleans, `None` and `Ellipsis`.

This can be used for safely evaluating strings containing Python values from untrusted sources without the need to parse the values oneself. It is not capable of evaluating arbitrarily complex expressions, for example involving operators or indexing.

[slate swan]

it is 1+1 relax man.

[paper sluice]

they are taking input from the user, so i can just type a command to delete their local files and it will execute that and now their files are gone

[slate swan]

⭐vulnerabilities⭐

do:

if '+' not in string and '-' not in string and '*' not in string and '/' not in string:
  print ("Hey put some operators!")

or like: 🗿

[dusky pine]

(2+2, __import__("os").system("boom boom"))

[paper sluice]

or just use ast

[slate swan]

Who the hell know about that ? they are only users btw

users can be py devs lol

being a programmer isnt something inclusive

[paper sluice]

you should never rule out possiblities

[slate swan]

so do:

chars = ['a', 'b', ....]
if '+' not in string and '-' not in string and '*' not in string and '/' not in string:
  for i in chars:
    if i in string:
      return
  print ("Hey put some operators!")

[slate swan]

then 2+2 wouldnt even work

[spring flax]

If I want one select menu to show another select menu when a option is picked but the options from the second one are based on the first pick. How would I? I have more information in #help-chocolate

[slate swan]

you would need to use or for that lol

[slate swan]

see the edited

[slate swan]

yeah

[spring flax]

What do you mean?

[slate swan]

that wasnt directed at you 😅

[slate swan]

or right now: 🗿

[slate swan]

so what is ast ?

[paper sluice]

abstract syntax tree, every python expression gets converted to a tree which shows the order of operation before getting converted to byte code

i think compiled is the better word over converted

[paper sluice]

compiled is usually used when code gets converted to machine code

[slate swan]

cool

[paper sluice]

oh wait nvm, i didnt see that i used converted for byte code as well 😅

[slate swan]

converted to byte code
did you ment when pythons interpreter compiles code to byte code and then executes it or?

misunderstand i see

[spring flax]

Would anyone mind helping in #help-chocolate?

[paper sluice]

it actually does convert to byte code, then it compiles and executes line by line

[slate swan]

you didnt answer my question🗿

you just enlightened my question

[paper sluice]

no it never really compiles, it just byte code ( which is not machine code ), then it that byte code is compiled to machine code line by line and executed

we say line by line, but its more like going thought each node one by one

[slate swan]

well it really depends on the usage of compiled as people also refer to converting to byte code as compiled but its all word usage

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[paper sluice]

hmm yea, ig you can refer to that. I thought u said compiled to syntax tree b4 that so was a little confused

[slate swan]

many websites also use compiled as sorta of an alias of convert lol

well it literally is an alias lmao

[spring flax]

Sorry I keep asking, but @slate swan can I bother asking you to check #help-chocolate

[robust fulcrum]

Give any other command challenge like interesting

[paper sluice]

[paper sluice]

huh?

[robust fulcrum]

Can I use Wikipedia library?

[paper sluice]

no

[robust fulcrum]

Then

[paper sluice]

aiohttp + bs4

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[robust fulcrum]

Can I use requests?

[slate swan]

well if you do use requests that would block your bot per each HTTP request it makes, no?

[neat field]

make an embed with 4 images

[paper sluice]

response = requests.get(url)

Is just

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    async with session.get(url) as response:
        ...

[slate swan]

you can just use the request method the aiohttp object has

async with aiohttp.request("GET", "<endpointurl>", headers={}) as payload:
    ...

[paper sluice]

ah yea, you can do that as well

[dull terrace]

Has anyone done testing to figure out the best length of play/use time for a bot before you make them take a break and/or vote to continue?

[robust fulcrum]

@paper sluice can i try to get weather from google weather page?

Using bs4 and aiohttp

[paper sluice]

ya, i just gave a suggestion

Hey, i wanna check in a on_message if a user has a specific role

So if he type Suggestion and has the role Member is send a message in channel……
but if he has role user it send the message to an other channel……

i hope you might can help me

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

is there discord.Member.roles.name ?

i mean list of ids ? or names ?

wanna get that role name

[slate swan]

its a list of role objects you can just do [role.id for role in Member.roles] or map(lambda role: role.id, Member.roles)

depends if you want a map/gen obj or a list etc

cool

[thorny ferry]

So this is wrong, but how can i get a user role ?
role_de = get(guild.roles, id=role_id_de)

[slate swan]

a user role?

a user is a user account in discord, member is a user account in a guild which a guild has roles so you ment member

!d discord.Member.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```

Hi, I'm currently migrating everything from dpy 2.0 to disnake, as I just want to work with disnake. But for some reason my interaction_check isn't working anymore:

  async def interaction_check(self, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction):
      if interaction.user.id in self.dropdownusers.author.id:
          return True
      await interaction.response.send_message(f'You cannot use this interaction.', ephemeral=True)
      return False
``` According the docs I did everything right.

[paper sluice]

its interaction.author in disnake

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Interaction.user

property user```
The user or member that sent the interaction. There is an alias for this named [`author`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Interaction.author "disnake.Interaction.author").

[paper sluice]

ah sad

[slate swan]

Interaction.author is just an alias lol

[slate swan]

its on_interaction

[sick panther]

That's not listed in the docs, are you 100% sure?

[paper sluice]

oki is always right

[slate swan]

!d disnake.on_interaction

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.on\_interaction

disnake.on_interaction(interaction)```
Called when an interaction happened.

This currently happens due to application command invocations or components being used.

Warning

This is a low level function that is not generally meant to be used.

its just a namespace that gets called internally like on_ready

[sick panther]

Ah, understood. Thank you

[swift pumice]

how can i make the bot use a slash command in discord?

[slate swan]

youre welcome

[paper sluice]

which lib?

[swift pumice]

nextcord

i want that it writes every 120 minutes /bump(because of disboard)

[paper sluice]

https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/interactions.html

[slate swan]

if were going by that point, youre smart, you cant disagree now

[paper sluice]

oki is always right about python*

[swift pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-gif-22596911

[slate swan]

(Ryuga:=type("MyQTRyuga", (), {})) is a qt

[paper sluice]

😳

[slate swan]

😩

[slate swan]

im not even sure if bots can invoke apps commands tbh

[swift pumice]

fr?

async def bump():
    channel = bot.get_channel(992511703155740712)
    await channel.send("/bump")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    bump.start()```my current code

but it kinda doesnt work..

[paper sluice]

thats not how you invoke commands

[swift pumice]

what

[paper sluice]

app commands can't be invoked

if u want to invoke normal commands you do Context.invoke

!d nextcord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

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

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a [`Command`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#nextcord.ext.commands.Command "nextcord.ext.commands.Command") holds internally.

Note

This does not handle converters, checks, cooldowns, pre-invoke, or after-invoke hooks in any matter. It calls the internal callback directly as-if it was a regular function.

You must take care in passing the proper arguments when using this function.

[swift pumice]

so instead of send you mean invoke?

[slate swan]

you cant lol

invoke is used to invoke commands that use Context so commands that are made with the lib abstract of commands of nextcord and commands that are from your bot so no you cant use it and were talking about app commands so nope

and even if you send a message with a / i doubt it would register as your bot invoking a app command, ill probably just send the raw content or no /(slash)

[swift pumice]

uh

why wont disboard just keep the old prefix :(

[slate swan]

because of you😔

[swift pumice]

[slate swan]

sorry i didnt ment that

[swift pumice]

facereveal

[tough lance]

Anyway don't shitpost

[shrewd apex]

i think partly why they enforced slash was to stop people from grinding a bot using another

[tough lance]

No most bots actually prevented bots from being grinded by other bots in the first place

The problem was self bots

Which is still a problem cuz self bots still can use slash commands

[shrewd apex]

rip

[shrewd apex]

not all tho but slash commands save a lot of trouble

especially on the user input part

[tough lance]

Yea they've actually improved ever since they first came

[swift pumice]

how can i make that the bots use slash commands idk how?

[tough lance]

Bro bots can't use slash commands

And self bots are against discord TOS

[swift pumice]

wait what do you mean with self bots are agains discord tos

i dont understand, does that mean iam not allowed to create a bot?

[slate swan]

anything you do with self bots is against tos

[slate swan]

self bot means a user acting as a bot

[swift pumice]

Ohhh

I understand now

[slate swan]

like if i used my token instead of a bot token for running a bot

[swift pumice]

ty, i thought creating a bot was against tos. like if a no name creates a bot.

[mild lava]

whats up with discord user links? if i access a link like https://discord.com/users/xxxx where xxxx is a user id, it works for ids of friends and people in servers that im in, but doesnt work for a user that i dont have any mutual servers with. is this intended behavior? if so, was it always like this, and is there a different way to create a public link to a discord account?
(this seemed like the best channel to put this)

[sick panther]

Okay, so I'm following the docs

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/stable/api.html#disnake.InteractionMessage.author
But the problem is, there's not really anything to check who clicked an option in the dropdown menu? disnake.MessageInteraction.author and disnake.MessageInteraction.user are the same aren't they?

  async def on_interaction(self, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction):
      if interaction.user.id is interaction.author.id:
          await interaction.response.send_message(f'worked', ephemeral=True)
          return True
      await interaction.response.send_message(f'You cannot use this interaction.', ephemeral=True)
      return False
  ``` now help me

[paper sluice]

i think that is the intended behavior

[paper sluice]

ya they are aliases, you can get the author who invoked the command and store their id somewhere and compare interaction.user with that

[sick panther]

How do I get the author though?

[paper sluice]

343944376055103488

[mild lava]

huh, i couldve sworn it used to be anyone could access a profile link. do you know of any other ways to provide a link to a discord account?

[paper sluice]

in the command before you call the view, just do interaction.user and store it somewhere

[paper sluice]

i dont really know, there could be a way but im not aware of it

[mild lava]

alright, i'll just do without the link then. thanks for your input

[slate swan]

Question, how can I only allow access to a prefix for one singular user?

[mild lava]

you could use on_message and do something like if message.content.startswith('prefix') and message.author.id == someid

[slate swan]

I don't really want to use on message for it though

[sick panther]

Sorry, but once again I'm not sure how to do it lol, so yeah I think(?) I did everything right so far, but for some reason it's just not checking for the author.

class Dropdown(disnake.ui.Select):
  def __init__(self, dropdownuser):

Should've sent a link, sorry for the flood

[mild lava]

yeah i get why, but i dont think discord.py or any other libraries allow that sort of per-prefix customization

[slate swan]

if I do have to use it, what would even go after the if statement

[mild lava]

any sort of code that you want to run when an authorized user sends a message with your chosen prefix

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_prefix

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

Retrieves the prefix the bot is listening to with the message as a context.

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

[visual island]

You can just pass command_prefix a function that returns the prefix

[mild lava]

right, i forgot about that

[slate swan]

What do you mean

[mild lava]

in that case you can make a function that checks the user id, and if its an authorized user it will add your "special" prefix to the list of returned prefixes

[visual island]

def some_func(bot, message):
   ...  # do stuff here

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=some_func) 

[slate swan]

How would this only allow one user though?

[mild lava]

one sec, checking docs

[slate swan]

Oh okay

[mild lava]

async def custom_prefixes(bot: Bot, message: Message):
    if message.author.id == some_user_id:
        return ['default prefix', 'special prefix']
    return ['default prefix']

[visual island]

That ^^

[slate swan]

it has to be async?

can't I just make it a regular function and call it when I define the command_prefix ?

[visual island]

it doesn't iirc, the docs only says "a callable"

[mild lava]

either async or regular function, doesnt matter

[mild lava]

you dont call it, you pass the function itself to the Bot constructor, so that the bot instance itself calls the function for every message

[slate swan]

so like, command_prefix=(custom_prefixes)

[mild lava]

yeah, without the brackets

[slate swan]

anywhere I put this wouldn't it always be undefined?

[mild lava]

define it somewhere near the top of the file before you create the Bot instance

or in a separate file and import it

[slate swan]

then the bot and message variable would be undefined no?

[mild lava]

bot and message are parameters

[faint dagger]

What to do?

[mild lava]

Bot and Message are the classes you get by from discord import Message and from discord.ext.commands import Bot

[robust fulcrum]

headers = {

    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3'}

def weathers(city):
    city = city.replace(" ", "+")
    res = requests.get(

        f'https://www.google.com/search?q={city}&oq={city}&aqs=chrome.0.35i39l2j0l4j46j69i60.6128j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8', headers=headers)

    print("Searching...\n")
    soup = BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'html.parser')
    location = soup.select('#wob_loc')[0].getText().strip()
    time = soup.select('#wob_dts')[0].getText().strip()
    info = soup.select('#wob_dc')[0].getText().strip()
    weather = soup.select('#wob_tm')[0].getText().strip()
    weather = (weather+"°C")

    dict = [location,time,info,weather]
    return dict

Here is function

    @commands.command()
    async def weather(self,ctx,city):
        response = weathers(city)
        location = response[0]
        time = response[1]
        info = response[2]
        weather = response[3]
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Weather", description=f"City: {city}",color=discord.Color.blue())
        embed.add_field(name="location",value=location,inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Time",value=time,inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Info",value=info,inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Weather",value=weather,inline=False)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

I am getting error how to fix?

[faint dagger]

?

[mild lava]

to clarify:

from discord import Message
from discord.ext.commands import Bot

def custom_prefix_func(bot: Bot, message: Message):
    if message.user.id == 1234:
        return ['default prefix', 'custom prefix']
    return ['default prefix']

mybot = Bot(command_prefix=custom_prefix_func)

[slate swan]

yeah I understood thanks 😄

[mild lava]

👍

[robust fulcrum]

Pls help me

[mild lava]

your bs4 parsing code isnt finding #wob_loc on the webpage

[visual island]

define it, songs = ..., the same applies to play_next_song

[robust fulcrum]

No there not problem with bs4 cause i tested the function first and then made comamnd there is error in comamdb ig
But i not able to find error

[mild lava]

the traceback says list index out of range on soup.select('#wob_loc')[0]

which probably means soup.select('#wob_loc') is returning an empty list

[visual island]

and you can always use a weather API, no need to webscrape

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm

[mild lava]

which implies that the webpage content you received isnt exactly what you expect

[robust fulcrum]

Is there any way to fix it?

[mild lava]

the solution to this problem is specific to the website youre scraping and what content youre parsing out

[robust fulcrum]

I got this code from :
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-find-current-weather-of-any-city-using-openweathermap-api/amp/

[mild lava]

as xCirno said, its a much better idea to simply use a weather api thats meant to be used in code, rather than scraping a webpage meant for humans that can change its format at any time

[mild lava]

try the first solution they have there, which actually uses the api. the scraping code is an alternative approach

[robust fulcrum]

But i wanted to use the scraping code

Pls help me if possible

[slate swan]

i did fall in your rick roll link @mild lava

[mild lava]

theres no point in scraping when an api is available

[mild lava]

[mild lava]

if you want to scrape something for the sake of learning, find something that doesnt have an api and doesnt change very often

[robust fulcrum]

I found the error

I did a wrong thing

i forgot to put
city = city+"weather"

[dusky pine]

why not just do city += "weather"

[robust fulcrum]

No prob both have same meaning

[slate swan]

bitwise addition is faster iirc

[mild lava]

bitwise? i dont think that applies here lol

[dusky pine]

Still better to be consistent and not ignore new other features

[mild lava]

x += y is in-place modification while x = x + y is reassignment

[dusky pine]

same result anyway

[slate swan]

+= is a bitwise operation isnt it?

[mild lava]

no

& is

also |

[mild lava]

but yes, += exists for a reason, and it is mostly used as a shorthand for x = x + y, plus it makes code a bit easier to understand. theres rarely a reason not to use it

[robust fulcrum]

@paper sluice challenge done

[slate swan]

Hi all I wonder if anyone can help, I am just trying to build a basic reaction role atm (I am still learning), its of course not working... https://paste.pythondiscord.com/tagewuvaka

I am trying to send a specific message to a certain channel with the bot reacting first, and then when someone reacts to the message with the emoji they get the role assigned, the emoji, the channel id and role name is correct.

So I can only assume I am going wrong in my code, but as I am new to python I am not sure what I am now missing, I was wondering if someone could assist me a little or point me in the right direction? 🙂

[gusty shard]

how do i make the command available every 30 seconds?

[slate swan]

i confused it with |=

[robust fulcrum]

I did the challenge 🙂

[vocal plover]

yes you just said that

[robust fulcrum]

I not used wearher api

Cause it have 1000 requests per day

But mine command unlimited

[slate swan]

you can cache the results of requests if its some daily weather data, so if someone uses the command with same argument again the cache is utilised instead of making the request in that case

[dusky pine]

next challenge: Implement a cache

[slate swan]

do you mean like the command can be used only once in 30 seconds?

[dusky pine]

A cache using Redis 🙂

[slate swan]

heck no

[gusty shard]

yes

[dusky pine]

what is it now 😩

[vocal plover]

redis is easy, just set and get

[dusky pine]

don't forget about the goofy ahh data structures

there's uhh... hashes?!

[vocal plover]

easy enough to just dump json data to a string & load it after

[dusky pine]

kekw

[vocal plover]

ohno

[gusty shard]

how can i make it?

[vocal plover]

big scary hashy bois

[dusky pine]

just HGET and HSET

[supple thorn]

Hi vcokltfre

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown use the decorator on your commands, ```py
@commands.command( rate, per, commands.BucketType.user)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[vocal plover]

hello

[gusty shard]

thanks

[slate swan]

😔 why would you make a redis cache for it, its not even 1000 entries

and i doubt if people really use bots to check weather

[vocal plover]

because all hail our lord and saviour redis

[slate swan]

le discord.py storing 50k members cache in a dictionary 🥂

[vocal plover]

Nextcord V3 will allow you to switch out the default cache for any protocol compliant one, including a custom redis cache

[supple thorn]

Vcokltfre finally said hello back

[slate swan]

i would love to see that

hikari-sake ftw

[gusty shard]

should my command look like @bot.command(per = 10)

that seems wrong

[slate swan]

no, you use that as a decorator over your command, something like this

@commands.cooldown(rate, per, <your bucket>)
@bot.command()
async def foo(context):
    ...
``` NOTE: rate and per are required arguments

[gusty shard]

@commands.cooldown(1, 30)

[dusky pine]

bruh you have to buy a bucket if you want to have command cooldown?

[gusty shard]

is that enough?

[dusky pine]

this is why u should use hikari

[vocal plover]

I prefer disnake

[robust fulcrum]

@dusky pine can you give a good challenge not any very complicated one

[gusty shard]

but how can i send a message when user tries to use command 2 times on the cooldown?

[robust fulcrum]

Why everyone gives example of foo here?

Whats foo

[slate swan]

Make a command specific/ global error handler, compare the error Exception instance with commands.CommandOnCooldown and send a message if it is

[gusty shard]

alright

thank you

[slate swan]

these are terms which are normally used for examples

foo, bar, baz

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar

[dusky pine]

add 2 2

will return "4"

so basically add two numbers

[robust fulcrum]

Simple

[slate swan]

make an eval >solve 1+2/3*4**9 😏

!pip simpleeval probably use this for that

[unkempt canyon]

simpleeval v0.9.12

A simple, safe single expression evaluator library.

[dusky pine]

Sarth you literally completed his challenge for him

[robust fulcrum]

def add(a,b):
    return a+b

@bot.command()
async def add(ctx,num1,num2):
    ans = add(num1,num2)
    await ctx.send(ans)

👍

[dusky pine]

Wrong

[slate swan]

Most likely won't work

[dusky pine]

You're overriding add with your command add

And would cause recursion

[slate swan]

And you're using + on strings

[dusky pine]

That too

[slate swan]

So not that simple

[robust fulcrum]

Oh i forgot to int

def add(a,b):
    a = int(a)
    b = int(b)
    return a+b

@bot.command()
async def add(ctx,num1:int,num2:int):
    ans = add(num1,num2)
    await ctx.send(ans)

[dusky pine]

Even if you do it's still wrong

[robust fulcrum]

Whats wrong now

[slate swan]

Why would you convert to an int again

[robust fulcrum]

No prob

[slate swan]

You're basically converting an int to an int

[dusky pine]

Try it lmao

[slate swan]

[dusky pine]

You are causing recursion

You don't need an extra function

[slate swan]

You can just directly send the addition

No need to overengineer and add another function

Otherwise you could add something like

def convertToInt(a):
    return int(a)

[dusky pine]

I can make a AdditionFactoryBuilderFactory if you want :P

[slate swan]

btw there's a sum function which does the same

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

Whats use of
from math import floor
Whats use of floor?

[slate swan]

floor division ig? try it and see

just puts to the closest number

either down, or up

!e
import math

print(math.ceil(300.16))
print(math.floor(300.16))

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | 301
002 | 300

[slate swan]

rounding

[robust fulcrum]

Oh floor means rounding to lowest

And ceil means rounding to highest

Floor is on down and ceil top

[paper sluice]

oh wait i didn't read your original question

you can do await ctx.message.delete() to delete the user's message

[warm tulip]

ok

thank u

[paper sluice]

bot doesn't get get_role Guild does

so you would probably do ctx.guild.get_role(id)

or member.guild in this case

member, there is no ctx here

[paper sluice]

^

ya should be good

if the role is not in the cache it will return None so you might have to fetch it

[slate swan]

you cant fetch roles

unless you fetch every role of the server

[robust fulcrum]

Next challenge suggest me any fun comamnd idea cause my bot have only 2 fun commands

Btw i want to ask one question

[paper sluice]

ouf

[robust fulcrum]

Is there any api or library that can convert a text into emoji?

[paper sluice]

https://ritekit.com/api-demo/auto-emojify

https://funtranslations.com/api/emoji

[robust fulcrum]

@paper sluice

Any new challenge for me?

Any fun command challenge?

[slate swan]

Chess Bot.

[robust fulcrum]

I told for fun command not game

[paper sluice]

server cloner

[robust fulcrum]

Bruh

Bro i am asking for fun comamnd

Not for utility or any game comamnds

[slate swan]

Text flip + mirror text.

what is "fun comamnd" ? you mean like "broke server" command or something like that?

[robust fulcrum]

Like dank memer bot commands

[slate swan]

I see.

Did you try to challenge yourself by doing what dank memer bot does ?

[dusky pine]

Fun, try making economy features

then you can make Games to earn money

[robust fulcrum]

I need a db and my hand is tight at dbs

[sick birch]

Can I suggest a stable, expandable, and simple bot infrastructure again…

[swift acorn]

I can use commands.guild_only to make commands only work in servers but how do I do this for events?

[cloud dawn]

lmao same

[robust fulcrum]

@bot.command()
async def invert(ctx,text):
    inverted = ''.join(reversed(text))
    await ctx.send(inverted)

[paper sluice]

text[::-1]

[robust fulcrum]

No prob same meaning

@paper sluice

Can I ask something

[paper sluice]

you can check if the event channel is a DMChannel or not

[robust fulcrum]

Is it possible to make triggered command like dank memer bot in discord.py?

[swift acorn]

How do I check that?

[paper sluice]

I don't think bots can trigger commands for other bots\

[robust fulcrum]

Nop i not mean triggered that one
The fun image triggered one

That makes our avater look like we are triggered

[paper sluice]

like if you have an on_message event you can do

if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
    return # to not respond to the dm things

or wait there is an intent which you can disable for the same

[robust fulcrum]

Like this

[robust fulcrum]

It's a .gif not .png
Gif not moving cause ss

Is it possible to make it?

[paper sluice]

you can disable Intents.dm_typing

[paper sluice]

hmm idk, search for some image manipulating module

not sure if PIL can make a gif

[slate swan]

Add it with upside down

[robust fulcrum]

What will you do if upside down? 😕

PIL can't make .gif files ........

[slate swan]

Well a text that's completly upsidedown

[robust fulcrum]

I not able to understand what you mean

[arctic nacelle]

to create gif you need multiple pictures (all different but kind of similar).
then maybe, there are some module that can create gif adding those different pictures.

• to view motion, pics MUST be different (you should know).

[dusky pine]

GIF is just a bunch of pictures together, so is every video 🙂

[robust fulcrum]

Is it possible to make a triggered gif comamnd?

[dusky pine]

If Dank Memer can, it's possible 😄

[robust fulcrum]

That's discord.js

[dusky pine]

Still you can do it

[robust fulcrum]

Discord.js have more Power features

Discord.py young yet

[robust fulcrum]

Idk java so useless for me

[cloud dawn]

Python can do anything js can and in reverse.

[arctic nacelle]

TBH! discord.py module is deprecated! it's not maintained anymore.
Use alternatives if you like new updates. (nextcord, pycord, etc.)

[cloud dawn]

You know nextcord and pycord are forks right..?

[arctic nacelle]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

Dpy is maintained.........

[cloud dawn]

nextcord is alright but py-cord is just not so good.

[paper sluice]

its actually javascript, not java

[robust fulcrum]

No prob

[robust fulcrum]

Is dpy maintained?

[paper sluice]

yes?

[robust fulcrum]

^

[arctic nacelle]

I used both, and hardly found any difference... because the discord.py funcs are 90% similar on both the forks,
The newer feature implementations are different in them.

[cloud dawn]

That's why I use dpy 2.0

[paper sluice]

its back in development

[cloud dawn]

Don't believe everything you see on the web.

[paper sluice]

^

[robust fulcrum]

Should I start with hikari?

Or any other fork?

[paper sluice]

if u feel like it

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm ig hikari

I'll start converting my bot to hikari from tommorow

[cloud dawn]

Not much support for Hikari and more difficult.

[arctic nacelle]

I last modified my bots in January!. So, I was not sure if 2.0 was available back then! 🙂

[robust fulcrum]

I want to make a ai chat comamdb but idk how to make

[cloud dawn]

Then I was using Disnake, since yeah the dev did quit for awhile.

[slate swan]

that is what makes them forks

you would need a message an a key query

they have a discord server, ask them how to get a key

im trying to code a fight bot

i used that code i found from here:

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')```

i need to make the bot reply only when specified user writes hello

for example

when user writes

$greet @gusty shard

sorry i had to go

i want to make the bot reply when that specific user replies with hello

thats not i need

[slate swan]

if message.content.startswith("hello"):
    await message.channel.send(...)```

[quick gust]

use the commands framework

[slate swan]

"prefix-less"

[quick gust]

oh

[slate swan]

oh wait nvm

they wanted "hello" first my bad

[quick gust]

yeah this is what they wanted ig

[slate swan]

overkill

just ping the person directly...

does followup work?

[slate swan]

defer is your first response and you're editing it using edit_message

!d discord.InteractionResponse.edit_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.edit\_message

await edit_message(*, content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

[slate swan]

Hi all I wonder if anyone can help, I am just trying to build a basic reaction role atm (I am still learning), its of course not working... https://paste.pythondiscord.com/tagewuvaka

I am trying to send a set message to a certain channel with the bot reacting first, and then when someone reacts to the message with the emoji they get the role assigned. The emoji, the channel id and role name are correct.

So I can only assume I am going wrong in my code, but as I am new to python I am not sure what I am now missing, I was wondering if someone could assist me a little or point me in the right direction? 🙂

Intents is allowed for all, as the bot is just something I'll be using for myself and it has full admin rights too. I am not getting any errors, nor have I added any in as I am not sure where I would add error logging to my code to find out why its failing.

Also, while I am trying to use discord.py docs, is there any decent youtube/courses out there people would recommend?

[hushed galleon]

looks like you're using outdated dpy docs

[robust fulcrum]

@paper sluice can you give any interesting challenge?

[slate swan]

you done with the chatbot?

[slate swan]

thenewboston is a pretty good yt channel

[slate swan]

and be sure to use cogs they make life easier I THINk

[hushed galleon]

bot.send_message, bot.add_roles, and bot.wait_for_reaction havent existed after the rewrite for a few years at least (interesting that wait_for_reaction was a thing), and on_reaction_add only takes (reaction, user) parameters
up-to-date documentation for 1.7.3 would be here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html (same link as in the channel topic)

also for a reaction role system its necessary to use on_raw_reaction_add(payload) since on_reaction_add is dependent on the message cache (after a bot restart, whatever message you have your reactions on won't be in the bot's cache so on_reaction_add won't fire when you want it to)

[robust fulcrum]

I not understood what to do

[hushed galleon]

oh the github repo also has an example of reaction roles: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v1.7.3/examples/reaction_roles.py

[paper sluice]

[slate swan]

Super star, I'll take a nosey over that and see if I can integrate it into my current code 🙂

[shrewd apex]

it's not stealing it's learning from others

[frozen patio]

Sureeee

[robust fulcrum]

Sadly i don't found code of .quiz :(

[slate swan]

https://github.com/python-discord/sir-lancebot/blob/main/bot/exts/fun/trivia_quiz.py#L309-L512

many variables there are defined out of function scope, so don't forget to check them.

[robust fulcrum]

Very hard for kid like me

[robust fulcrum]

This comamnd not for noob like me

[slate swan]

try making your own implementation of it, collect some quiz questions with 3-4 answers out of which 1 would be correct, send the questions along with answers and add buttons/ reactions for choosing the answer, the first user to select the correct reaction wins...

i use them even for longer ones rip py event: hikari.InteractionCreateEvent = await fun.bot.wait_for( hikari.InteractionCreateEvent, timeout=30, predicate=lambda inter: isinstance( inter.interaction, hikari.ComponentInteraction ) and inter.interaction.user.id==context.author.id and inter.interaction.message.id == msg.id and inter.interaction.component_type == hikari.ComponentType.SELECT_MENU, )

[slate swan]

Sorry, just a quick question if you don't mind.

The example you've given you for the reaction role github page has in;
"client = MyClient(intents=intents)"

where as I use;
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

so I don't think it will work for me. Would it just be I need to change the top part:

class MyClient(discord.Client):
to
class Bot(discord.Client):

[slate swan]

everything you use in discord.Client works in commands.Bot too, since its just a subclass
so that won't be an issue.

!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.

This class is a subclass of discord.Client and as a result anything that you can do with a discord.Client you can do with this bot.

discord.Guild.unban

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

[lime rampart]

Hello I don't really understand what went on with discord.py but I just know that it is coming back again as discord.py 2.0 .
I have used discord.py for all my bots so far and never bothered to switch to something like nextcord.

My questions are:
If I upgrade to discord.py 2.0 does this force me to use slash commands or can I still use regular any prefix commands?
Should I just stick with discord.py because I never switched out, not sure how different 2.0 is

[fading kestrel]

ty

[fading kestrel]

You can still use your regular prefix commands.

However, if you would like to add slash commands and use the interaction module, then you can do that as well, additionally.

I only switched to 2.0 because I wanted to use the interactions module, with buttons, slash commands, select menus, etc..

I think its better to switch though, so that you can use the new features that are constantly being added.

You will have to make some changes to your code though after switching.

[lime rampart]

I see, can I leave my old code to run on the old version of discord.py or will I need to update all of it to 2.0?

[fading kestrel]

You can let it run, I mean nothing will change if you don't update it.

It will still work

[lime rampart]

I thought the reason 2.0 was being made is because discord is updating api so the old discord.py would no longer work?

[slate swan]

discord API v8 is not deprecated yet, it still works

[fading kestrel]

I mean I only switched to 2.0 like 2 weeks ago

[lime rampart]

I guess keyword is yet, not sure how much longer and if it will still work after a certain amount of time.
I assume I would have to update all the old code to 2.0? x.x

[fading kestrel]

If you want to change to 2.0, your going to have to update some of it

[shell wing]

Discord py 1.7 i will.be shifting to v2 soon

[fading kestrel]

but it doesnt take too long

just read the docs

dpy doesn't have a v8 yet fyi

its barely few lines

[shrewd apex]

guy is reading chem he got stuff mixed up

[slate swan]

chemistry?

[slate swan]

what

[shell wing]

Eh ?

[slate swan]

what exactly do you mean by dpy shifting versions

[shell wing]

Like rn I'm not using dpyv2 but i will be pretty soon

Rn I'm using the dpyv1.7

[slate swan]

it never will

[slate swan]

*discord API v8

[shell wing]

The one which doesn't have slash and all integrated into it.

[shell wing]

I will*

[slate swan]

its discord.py 2.0

[slate swan]

are you aware how versions work?

they won't add new and breaking stuff to the same version.

for any change, a new version is created and uploaded to pypi

[slate swan]

you can download any version.....even if newer versions are released on pypi

[slate swan]

apologize

[shell wing]

ik that 💀

I'm just telling cause then u all (not targeting) be like use the discord py2 cause it has slash and all

[slate swan]

then what's your point with "dpy shifting versions"
you are the one shifting version

[shell wing]

So I'm just telling u all in advance

[slate swan]

😔 sowwie, i correct it later

[lime rampart]

So if I migrate to 2.0 I must use cogs? I'm not the best at coding so don't really understand classes as well

[slate swan]

no its not important to migrate to cogs if you use 2.0

its required by the REST API too.

collectively both REST API and gateway

oh yeah forgot about the rest

i would really leave it in the dpy server if this was one for discord.py critics there would figure out lots of mistakes

[slate swan]

hi robin

[sick birch]

So I suggest you either use a database or make sure you’ve covered every single error and handled it all perfectly

[sick birch]

Hey

How else do you plan on saving persistent data in something as volatile as memory?

JSON is not a database and should not be used as such

[paper sluice]

json is not great for storing large amounts of data its not meant to be used as a db

[slate swan]

just write on a paper manually

It’s a serialization format, not a database
