[smoky marsh]

damnw hat does that mean

[sick birch]

It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page.
Straight from the error

[warped mirage]

``py

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def unban(ctx, member : discord.Member):
        try:
            await ctx.send(f"{member.name} has been unbanned.")
        except: 
            await ctx.reply("The user you are trying to unban is not banned.")
        await ctx.guild.unban()```

doesnt work and no errors , any ideas?

[smoky marsh]

Okay

[sick birch]

Do you have any error handlers?

[warped mirage]

for required arguments only

[sick birch]

Can I see the error handler?

[warped mirage]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error: Exception):

    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.reply(f'Please specify a username.', delete_after = 10)```

[sick birch]

Is that everything?

[warped mirage]

yes

[sick birch]

Oo that seems like a bad idea

[smoky marsh]

Privileged gateway intents right?

[sick birch]

Currently it's going to silently ignore all errors that aren't commands.MissingRequiredArgument

You can fix it by re-raising the error using raise error

[warped mirage]

can u help me please then

[hardy yoke]

the gist explained all that lol

[warped mirage]

nope

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error: Exception):

    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.reply(f'Please specify a username.', delete_after = 10)

        raise error``` like this?

[sick birch]

These 3 are the privileged gateway intents, yes

[smoky marsh]

Ah okay

[sick birch]

You want to raise error regardless of it's type, so move it ouside of the if statement

[warped mirage]

wont work

[sick birch]

You unindented it too far

It needs to be inside of the error handler but outside of the if statement

[warped mirage]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error: Exception):

    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.reply(f'Please specify a username.', delete_after = 10)

    raise error
        ``` can be like this?

[sick birch]

That's perfect

[warped mirage]

ok

[sick birch]

Now run the unban command again, and it should tell you what the error is

[warped mirage]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound: Member "@brandon08" not found.```

how can i unban , i wanna do it by the id if possible?

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def unban(ctx, member : discord.Member):
        try:
            await ctx.send(f"{member.name} has been unbanned.")
        except: 
            await ctx.reply("The user you are trying to unban is not banned.")
        await ctx.guild.unban()```

[sick birch]

Doing it by ID should be possible

[warped mirage]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound: Member "940304995960643634" not found.

doesnt work

[cold sonnet]

should be doable with a discord.utils.get through guild.bans

[warped mirage]

how can i do that

[cold sonnet]

await ctx.guild.unban(discord.utils.get(await ctx.guild.bans(), id=id))

if I didn't miss something

[warped mirage]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound: Member "940304995960643634" not found.

still no

[cold sonnet]

I need the full code please

[warped mirage]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def unban(ctx, member : discord.Member):
        try:
            await ctx.send(f"{member.name} has been unbanned.")
        except: 
            await ctx.reply("The user you are trying to unban is not banned.")
        await ctx.guild.unban(discord.utils.get(await ctx.guild.bans(), id=id))```

[cold sonnet]

well I thought we wanna do it by id

how are you gonna convert a user that's not in the server to a discord.Member

a discord.Member is in a server

[warped mirage]

oh so what should i do

[cold sonnet]

I suggest converting member to an int

then
await ctx.guild.unban(discord.utils.get(await ctx.guild.bans(), id=member))

[paper sluice]

you can use get_user or fetch_user to get a discord.User object which you can use to unban

[cold sonnet]

does the bot have access to the user

[paper sluice]

they do.

[sick birch]

@warped mirage if the user is banned, they're probably not a discord.Member, so try typehinting to discord.User instead

[slate swan]

anyone know how fix?

[warped mirage]

it worked but py File "C:\Users\Program\Desktop\Bot\main.py", line 33, in on_command_error raise error File "C:\Users\Program\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\bot.py", line 1330, in invoke await ctx.command.invoke(ctx) File "C:\Users\Program\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 995, in invoke await injected(*ctx.args, **ctx.kwargs) # type: ignore File "C:\Users\Program\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 209, in wrapped raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: object async_generator can't be used in 'await' expression it works but sends errors still, can i do smth to keep this clean

[cold sonnet]

#databases @slate swan

[cold sonnet]

that might be the await bans()

[slate swan]

srry

[slate swan]

as the bot was in python i thought i could send it here too

[hardy yoke]

they're called context menu commands, what library are you using (discord.py)?

[cold sonnet]

await ctx.guild.unban(discord.utils.get(bans, id=member))

[warped mirage]

?

[cold sonnet]

or if you have converted to discord.User already

and it does provide a User instance

[warped mirage]

ye i did discord.User, btw will this work for multiguild

[cold sonnet]

then you can just pass that instance to unban

[hardy yoke]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/context_menus/basic_contexts_menus.py

go to line 19

and that's an example for both a user context menu command (right click username > apps) or a message context command

[warped mirage]

@cold sonnet

[cold sonnet]

it's gonna work in the guild you use the command in

[whole sparrow]

how do i run a concurrent task next to bot.run in main.py

[warped mirage]

btw i need help doing 2 functions

so if a user is already banned it returns a message, or user is already unbanned message

[cold sonnet]

why not convert to discord.Member and it's gonna show an error if the guy isn't in the guild

wait I'm dumb

that's not the same

[warped mirage]

Yh

And I need it as a message, not on terminal

[cold sonnet]

if user in (await ctx.guild.bans())?

[cold sonnet]

that's not the not the same part

you can handle errors

[warped mirage]

Idk how ig

[slate swan]

im trying to build a discord bot that looks up an IP addr from a text file and creates an embed with the returned data however this is extremely slow whats the best way to multithread/pool this without breaking the bot

[paper sluice]

when you try to unban a user which is not banned, it raises discord.NotFound error which you can catch in a try-except

[slate swan]

i have 20k ips to lookup btw so yh

[warped mirage]

Can u help me with that

[paper sluice]

ya, first give it a try then ill help you when you are stuck.

[sick birch]

You're probably being bottlenecked by the lookup service you're using, in which case there's not much you can do about it

[slate swan]

its a python module

no external apis used

if i print the data its fine but soon as i put data into an embed it takes years

[cold sonnet]

man really said embouteillage

[slate swan]

i was thinking if i did a function inside my command that did the lookup and for ip in ips asyncio.run that function but idk if that will work/be stable

[slate swan]

well it doesnt cuz asyncio cant be called in a running loop

[devout iris]

Hia

I want to make a music command, which api should i use?

Is there an api for that?

[exotic maple]

How do i run some code after a user has reacted to a message in DMS?

[slate swan]

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body In name: String value did not match validation regex.

im trying to create custom emoji with discord py

i got that error when i did await guild.create_custom_emoji(name="emojione", image=img.read())

[visual island]

are you sure that line is the cause?

[sick birch]

Most of them are against TOS

[cloud dawn]

More like all of them

[cerulean folio]

Hi guys !
My bot is receiving this message saying i'm being rate limited. The docs about it are really overwhelming me. It's been two weeks I'm running away from that task but now I have to face it. Can you just... cheer me up a bit and guide me through it please?

[cloud dawn]

What are you doing?

[cerulean folio]

wdym?

[slate swan]

anyone willing to work on an advance discord bot along with an official site and optional web panels for server moderation etc

using discord.py

[slate swan]

work with the rate limit. how many request are you sending per minute ?

[slate swan]

you trying add an imagine?

[sick birch]

Please don't post unapproved advertising, thanks

[slate swan]

you misunderstood him lol

[slate swan]

easy. you can use create_task() from asyncio module

this does not break the bot or the new thread. i use this for other things on my bot

[sick birch]

You'll still have to wait for the returned Task object, so that shouldn't change the time it takes

[slate swan]

i was replying to this mainly

threading will break the bot process then restart once the thread is over or sometimes wont even start back up for a while

[slate swan]

would you be able to find this for discord.py? this looks gr8

[glossy shore]

hello
is it possible to establish a websocket connection and have a discord bot interact with this connection (send & receive data)
and make it do some things based on the received data ?

[slate swan]

yes @glossy shore. The socket server or client must be threaded

[slate swan]

yep ofc

ive done it myself😅

[glossy shore]

i'm making a simple class that would handle the sending and receiving of data
using the websockets module
i've been using asyncio for a while but event loops and background tasks are new to me honestly ...

[slate swan]

you can also use aiohttp to handle the gateway and to make requests to the RESTAPI

[glossy shore]

i'll first clean up my code and either send it here or in a help channel
to get some insight on how can integrate with discord.py

[dusky pine]

why not just switch over to disnake? it's a fork of dpy anyway

[cerulean folio]

how can I answer this? I'd say around 100

[sick birch]

Well there you have it then

[pliant gulch]

Wouldn't a hundred requests a minute be totally fine

The global ratelimit is 50/1s

Are you hosting on some shared VPS?

[hardy yoke]

do you use repl?

[pliant gulch]

[slate swan]

CF does not allow that much lmao.

once you send a good amount of request per second. you'll DOSIng the server

[cerulean folio]

I do

[hardy yoke]

it's not your fault then, it's because repl shares IP's with loads of other bots

Type kill 1 in repl's shell and it'll usually fix it but it'll happen from time to time unless you get your own host

[sick birch]

That probably explains it too

[cerulean folio]

wait how can the host be responsible of a discord rate limit?

the host is just a machine that'll run the same program

[slate swan]

kill 1? whats that suppose to do ?

[hardy yoke]

because the host has, say, 1000 bots all on the same ip making requests to discord

[pliant gulch]

? 100/60s is within the global ratelimit of 50/1s (Not saying it's good to have 100 requests a minute although)

[slate swan]

O_o, thats not gonnah do much?

[hardy yoke]

eventually discord says no thank you and blocks the ip

[slate swan]

whats kill 1 in repl shell?

[cerulean folio]

oh... I see...

aight

[dusky pine]

kill the process with PID 1 iirc

[slate swan]

.........

[pliant gulch]

Yea and that causes the process manager repl.it uses under the hood to spawn a new enviourment

[slate swan]

killing the process is suppose to stop IP Block from cloudflare? LOL

[hardy yoke]

yes it kills your session and more often than not will also put you on a new server/ip therefore fixing the problem

[slate swan]

[cerulean folio]

i gotta learn how to host a bot on another cloud platfom then x.x

[cloud dawn]

kill is a linux command, they provide you a new instance since the other one was destroyed thus providing a new ip.

[sweet geyser]

Lmao

Discord.py?

[slate swan]

what does killing your procces have to do with stopping IP Block from CF

[sweet geyser]

You probably will regret it

[slate swan]

eh, doubt it

[sick birch]

Since it gets a new IP

[pliant gulch]

Just incase you waste your time, be it known heroku also has the same issue

[dusky pine]

just buy a VPS, simple solution

[slate swan]

I guarantee legit all of em are blocked, unless repl themself gets more often

[cerulean folio]

I don't want a vps, I prefer a cloud because it'll force me to get used to them

[sweet geyser]

It will you have to get slash commands working that by itself is not a part of discord.py

[slate swan]

repl is where all the rookies are lol. most likely all IP blocked from CF

[hardy yoke]

you're wrong

[dusky pine]

go get a rocket then

[slate swan]

hmmm

[cerulean folio]

a rocket wdym?

[hardy yoke]

repl causing rate limit bans has been an issue for years this isn't a new or unique problem, and kill 1 has always been the (temp) fix

[dusky pine]

A VPS is on the cloud bro

[slate swan]

its not repl with the rate limit

dude what, are you good

LMAO

im legit dying rn

did u not see the cloudflare page?

[cloud dawn]

-> #965291480992321536

[dusky pine]

discord is the one that has CF

[cerulean folio]

i mean learn how to use google and azure cloud etc...

[slate swan]

it isnt a repl error with the rate limit.........

[sweet geyser]

Yep that's true

[slate swan]

usually discord sends a rate limit error. not CF

[dusky pine]

ah ic

[slate swan]

or atleast discord.py does

idk what module he using

[sweet geyser]

Discord sends it through cf? Firstly what is happening here i need some context to work with

[dusky pine]

discord ratelimit -> dpy handles it
and i think discord ratelimits through CF

[hardy yoke]

this is true

[slate swan]

wait wait

[pliant gulch]

Sure, but repl.it did "cause" the ratelimit, in cases where you didn't spam the API. The discord API itself does API bans based on IP itself, with repl.it's clusters and shared hosts, IPs are shared among'st multiple users. So, really repl.it did in the end start the problem? Not to say that it's BAD for repl.it to share hosts between users, being a free service after all

[dusky pine]

look at that sweet bootstrap

wait, that's not bootstrap

[slate swan]

dude

[cerulean folio]

thing that i like with replit is that when you close the site and open it again you see all the console activity from when you weren't on the website if that makes sense

i don't know how to do this on virtual machine

[hardy yoke]

look into tmux

[dusky pine]

~/.bash_history

[sweet geyser]

@slate swan What are you trying to do?

[pliant gulch]

You could use logging module as well

[slate swan]

bro even if u ban the IP on discord end. it should reply blocked or some error code

[sweet geyser]

Ah yes sweet linux users

I use arch btw

[slate swan]

not CF

[sick birch]

I can see my console history dating back to a loooong time on my linux machine, so it's not really something special. Nice QoL though

[dusky pine]

not exclusive to linux, just bash

[slate swan]

CF and discord API are different, unless they added rate limiting on CF aswell

[dusky pine]

i think zsh has zsh_history too

[pliant gulch]

CF get's shown in cases of API bans with repl.it for some reason

[slate swan]

you can have rate limiting on both API and CF

[pliant gulch]

Discord API uses CF 😄 that's why it's given

[slate swan]

CF panel is a whole different thing

[sweet geyser]

Bash is kinda exclusive to linux due to it's licensing that's why apple switched to zsh

[pliant gulch]

Uhh, ok? But discord API does indeed use CF

[dusky pine]

i guess, most distros ship with bash preinstalled

[pliant gulch]

It's utilising CF

[slate swan]

bro lmfao

i was ppl would learn

[sweet geyser]

Yep it does

[slate swan]

i've been using CF for so long, i dnt get that

[sweet geyser]

Bash is the basic component

[slate swan]

unless i set it

[cerulean folio]

What's a QoL?
And... ok i know about bash history but that thing stores ALL the history... does that mean I have to code a specific thing to read all the history from last time I starter the bot, and then print it? or is there something that automates it?

[pliant gulch]

As you can see here ^ Discord API is using CF, isn't that crazy?

[hardy yoke]

qol = quality of life

[sweet geyser]

@slate swan Please explain what you are trying to do

[pliant gulch]

It's almost like, all the APIs used now a day use CF for ddos protection, and metics

[slate swan]

Discord rate limiting system is source code wise. not CF panels

[cerulean folio]

typically i'll create a VM on google cloud and host the bot on it, then ssh into the VM

but then i'll just find an empty console

[pliant gulch]

??? Do you know how the API bans work? Instead of your request going through when API banned it gets routed to CF

[dusky pine]

fork bash and make that feature kekw

[sweet geyser]

Well here is how to solve it run it through docker

[sick birch]

Nothing you have to do. If it's in a VM you should just be able to scroll up?

[sweet geyser]

Run it through docker

[slate swan]

yes i know that

[cerulean folio]

oh ok

[sweet geyser]

Or use screen

[slate swan]

CF is in between

[pliant gulch]

Yes... so discord API uses CF??

[sweet geyser]

Yes

[cerulean folio]

no when u ssh into the VM it's empty console

[hardy yoke]

I don't see the relevance of this debate it's bordering off topic

They were given a cause and solution

Nuff said innit

[cerulean folio]

what is docker please?

[slate swan]

do you know the different between IP Banning checking IP in source code and blocking IP in CF panels under "security/rules"

[sweet geyser]

Container service

[dusky pine]

Containers. That's it. "a VM but lightweight".

[cloud dawn]

This convo is perfectly fine under #965291480992321536

[sweet geyser]

Very light weight

@cerulean folio I'm willing to help you with that

[pliant gulch]

I would be glad if you could show me exactly which method discord API does, considering you seem to know exactly. Did discord become open source?

[cerulean folio]

so that's just been made for console history?

[cerulean folio]

thanks a lot, it that long to set up? does this method has cons?

[slate swan]

most def

[pliant gulch]

Okay, show me the part in their codebase regarding this

[sweet geyser]

It's more easier

Afaik there are no cons

I'll send more info on dm

[slate swan]

ok so here i got 2 options, i can either go in my source code and check for IPs that are blacklisted or use CF to block incoming IP like this below

https://puu.sh/JbsLx/a0907bf26d.png

@pliant gulch

[pliant gulch]

Does discord use your source code? My question was regarding their codebase

😄

[slate swan]

i HIGHLY doubt discord uses any of CF settings. CF is mainly used to protect backend IP

with rate limiting, you should be good on DDOS attacks.

DDOSing is just a shit ton of request per second. i do it and work on related stuff for it lol

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/faad035fa24b39bb25da1233a779bfdbd547764a/discord/http.py#L102-L111 😅 It's almost like, your requests when ratelimited get routed to CF

[unkempt canyon]

[pliant gulch]

Crazy

[slate swan]

whats that suppose to mean?

all you doing is confirming what im saying lol.......

there no proof of discord using CF settings lol

[spark raptor]

a little help someone?

[slate swan]

what you need help with ?

[spark raptor]

apparently commands isn't part of discord.ext?

[pliant gulch]

? I've been saying this for the whole time now I'm not sure what you are saying anymore I'm kind of confused

[slate swan]

lol

making sure

[slate swan]

you've imported it already...

twice

[spark raptor]

oh

[hardy yoke]

import discord.ext < delete

[cloud dawn]

In py-cord this isn't the case

[spark raptor]

still doesn't work

[cloud dawn]

py-cord has a different structure you need to follow.

[spark raptor]

ok

[cloud dawn]

No clue just know it's py-cord stuff lol

[hardy yoke]

I read they're rewriting pycord from the ground up
"deforking" it

[pliant gulch]

Gave me a good laugh

[hardy yoke]

Yeah it made me raise an eyebrow but good luck 2 them lol

[cloud dawn]

They could make some improvements, sure but they would need a dedicated small team.

[sweet geyser]

You there?

[pliant gulch]

I take one look at a file in pycord, there is a method with no return type, sandwiched in-between two other methods that BOTH have a return type
Mostly a nit-pick but, typing is all-or-nothing imo 😔

[spark raptor]

maybe I should just

make something that isn't a discord bot for now

[hardy yoke]

d.bots are difficult projects to start out with if you're new to programming

[spark raptor]

ok, do you have any suggestions on what to do?

[hardy yoke]

🤷‍♂️ my first project was an IRC bot years back pre-discord. I remember it was difficult at the time but I persisted with it.

there's some good lists of "beginner projects" on reddit if you search around a bit

[spark raptor]

o k

[sweet geyser]

My suggestion is to learn a bit about the api

[slate swan]

i gotta see this

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/4ef42d50a82e1e2280bf9e460dc26b4befc45e46/discord/bot.py#L145-L182\

[old gate]

Hey I need some help with posting to an api would anyone be able to help me

My response.post just wont seem to work on my python bot

I have an api for reporting scam numbers and none seem to want to push through.

anyone awake ? lol

[cloud dawn]

This is the discord api sir

[old gate]

No its a private api with a company

Its for busting and turning scammers into the authories

[cloud dawn]

Meant this channel

[old gate]

Oh i am sorry

I didn't realise its for that api only

[acoustic summit]

since discord.py support has been cut, i uninstalled and installed py-cord but now none of my commands work
the bot goes online and everything but no commands do anything
i just did pip uninstall discord.py, is that incorrect?

[cloud dawn]

D.py is still getting updated almost daily

[acoustic summit]

yeah but discord cut support for it no?

thats why it doesnt have buttons n whatnot?

[cloud dawn]

It does have buttons

[acoustic summit]

oh what

[cloud dawn]

I think you still have the old version installed 1.7.3

[acoustic summit]

can you link me somewhere i can learn how to use them?

maybe

[dusky pine]

discord doesn't provide support to libraries, discord has its own independent api that the libraries connect to

[old gate]

What server supports external api's

Cause its just a simple responce.post command

[acoustic summit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNUuYEWGOxA
i was watching this but once he started doing the buttons, mine were being marked invalid

[dusky pine]

#web-development probably would work

[cloud dawn]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[dusky pine]

not a server but eh

[cloud dawn]

First install the new version using the repo url and pip+git

Then head over to the docs and switch it from stable to latest

In the repo there are also examples of buttons under view

[dusky pine]

pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

latest version

and i think ashley has a tutorial on how to use message components

[slate swan]

thats for app commands

but you can find plenty in the examples folder of discord.py repo

[acoustic summit]

oooookay

tyty <3

[robust fulcrum]

Code jam overed?

[slate swan]

idk if there's anything explainable in those ps there's a nice amount of examples for them

[slate swan]

the qualifier is overed

[slate swan]

await interaction.followup.edit_message(embed=e23,view=self)

i want to edit the embed which i sent through the command

[dusky pine]

show the full error

the message button is blocking it

[slate swan]

image

[slate swan]

Yes

wait

idk

[visual island]

how "idk"?

anyways, I've tried the exact code and worked fine

and usually, that error pops up when you are trying to register an app command with an invalid name

[slate swan]

what's the problem? why cant i import

[slate swan]

can i see your code after with open

i think i have problem in that

[visual island]

I don't do it with a context manager (the problem shouldn't be that)

[slate swan]

hbday @visual island :D 🥳

[visual island]

await guild.create_custom_emoji(name="emojione", image=open("img.png", "rb").read())
``` something like this

[visual island]

thanks!!

[slate swan]

Okay

[slate swan]

anyone ..

[slate swan]

same error) :

[robust fulcrum]

Your bday?

[slate swan]

with open(filet, "wb") as file:
          file.write(requests.get(u).content)
        with open(filet, "rb") as ig:
          jmh = bytearray(ig.read())
          print("d")
          try:
            await guild.create_custom_emoji(name=f"emotes{randh}{h}{i}{randh}", image=open(filet, "rb").read())
          except Exception as hh:
            print(hh)

[robust fulcrum]

Happy birthday @visual island
https://c.tenor.com/5J6CwnLqBFcAAAAi/hasher-happy-sticker.gif

[visual island]

There are some possible issue:

1. "helpbot" has no attribute "Dropdown"
2. If it's a directory, you may not have those attribute imported in __init__.py

[visual island]

thanks!

[slate swan]

this is my code

i have a channel where there are emojies, and i get emojies from that channel and put it in a file and then put them in bot

then delete the file

[visual island]

most likely, the error comes from the variable randh, h, or i

[slate swan]

oh

[slate swan]

its just randomized characters and numbers

[slate swan]

i removed them all and still the name error

@visual island hbd

[visual island]

yeah that shouldn't be an error with create_custom_emoji()

are you using an app command?

[slate swan]

a task

[visual island]

tyy!

[slate swan]

is it because of filet

filet is just a name of the file

[visual island]

you meant tasks.loop or asyncio.Task?

okay, do you have any app commands then?

[slate swan]

tasks.loop

[slate swan]

what are app commands

bot.command?

[visual island]

oh, basically just discord.py's slash commands

[slate swan]

no i don't have any

[visual island]

!d discord.app_commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.command

@discord.app_commands.command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, extras=...)```
Creates an application command from a regular function.

[slate swan]

i don't have

[visual island]

hmm

okay, what's this: requests.get(u).content

what's u in particular?

[slate swan]

emoji url

[visual island]

why do you need that?

[slate swan]

i have a channel in my server which has emoji urls, so it gets it from the urls

[visual island]

you can't have / in emoji names

[slate swan]

Oh

[visual island]

that was the issue from the beginning 🙂

[slate swan]

i removed it still the same error

[visual island]

and dot

[slate swan]

ooh

why discord is so strict

it works :D

the solution was so easy i wasted an hour trying to fix the image thing 💀

[dusky pine]

not necessarily strict, just match regex and done

[slate swan]

i don't know wwhats regex

[visual island]

string pattern matching stuff

[slate swan]

ooohhh

[slate swan]

can it have numbers

[shrewd apex]

yeah

as long as u are good at regex there is no string u can't parse except html tags

[slate swan]

nice

[robust fulcrum]

I bored
I wana make a comand but have no good idea

[slate swan]

afk command

[robust fulcrum]

Already have XD

[dusky pine]

eval command

[slate swan]

warning system

[robust fulcrum]

Already have

[dusky pine]

no, like @unkempt canyon's eval

[robust fulcrum]

Ye

[dusky pine]

the one like everyone can use

[robust fulcrum]

Ye

[slate swan]

ticket system?

[robust fulcrum]

I have that

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm

[dusky pine]

you're using eval function?

[robust fulcrum]

What?

And i have one question

I have filled the form for the perspective api but they have not sent me email from 1 week is there any possible reason?

[shrewd apex]

u dont need to fill a form for the api key iirc

https://developers.perspectiveapi.com/s/docs-get-started

[daring olive]

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhBBnVVVbXSElby-jhNnEj-Zwpt5toQSCFsJerGfpXW66CuQ/viewform

[robust fulcrum]

They are asking me organization name what I have to type there?

[shrewd apex]

just type none or student

[shrewd apex]

i was wondering why the link disappeared

[robust fulcrum]

I typed my discord bot?

[daring olive]

yeah we zap forms links bc of people posting surveys

[shrewd apex]

oh i c

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[robust fulcrum]

Done!

[robust fulcrum]

How can i use perrespective api with key using python?

[vale wing]

With aiohttp

Idk how you gotta provide the key to their API but in most of google APIs it goes as a param so

await session.get("...", params={"key": "your_api_key"})  #pseudocode```

[vale wing]

I broke my brain yesterday trying to find a good URL pattern, at last I made my own lmao

[vocal plover]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags

[vocal snow]

wow

[shrewd apex]

u found that out just to refute me didnt u🗿

🥲

[vocal plover]

No I have that link in my alt's dms because it's possibly the greatest stackoverflow post of all time

or at least, the top comment is

[shrewd apex]

0-0

i see edited my comment

Viewed 3.4m times 0-0

[vocal plover]

yeah it's uh, pretty famous

[scarlet sorrel]

How do i make a simple bot that starts when i do a command, then starts counting up from 1 (sending each number in the channel as it goes) until it sees another command?

[wanton cipher]

have a command with a while loop and have another command that changes the condition to false

# command 1
run = True
num = 0
while run:
  num += 1

# command 2
run = False

[scarlet sorrel]

Are you sure that works?

Ill try

[wanton cipher]

honestly, not 100% sure, but it makes sense to me

[scarlet sorrel]

I dont think it will

It will never get to the 2nd command

[wanton cipher]

bots are asynchronous, it will

oh yeah, this too xD

[scarlet sorrel]

For sending messages in a loop? Why would that ban it lol that aint how it works

[wanton cipher]

spam I think

[scarlet sorrel]

Iv had a bot in a loop sending messages for months now

Yea nah dude, iv had one going for months

You have to make alot more api calls then that

1 per second is nothing

[wanton cipher]

ngl... I can kinda agree with the 1 per second thing as I've done tons of loops and they worked now that I think about it 🤔

[scarlet sorrel]

...

Do u know what await message is lol

[vocal plover]

With how ratelimiting works in most Discord libs each iteration will just happen as soon as the ratelimit bucket is refreshed or isn't empty

[shrewd apex]

the ratelimits are dynamic so no sure shot way of saying if u get banned or not

[scarlet sorrel]

Yes there is, await message

[shrewd apex]

huh?

[vocal plover]

I think they're referring to Messageable.send(), which will wait for the ratelimits before making a request, thus meaning you never get blocked

[shrewd apex]

how is a coroutine related to ratelimits if coro stopped rate limits then why would rate limits exist

[scarlet sorrel]

Yup

[shrewd apex]

prolly

[scarlet sorrel]

Huh

Have you ever made a bot im so confused

[shrewd apex]

no let's just take a simple example

[vocal plover]

what?

[shrewd apex]

say i do client presence change every 1 second like u are saying

[vocal plover]

That's not how the API's ratelimiting works

[slate swan]

it is what it is

[shrewd apex]

i am doing await as well that dosent change the fact i get rate limited

[vocal plover]

the only time an unrelated route will get you blocked is if:

• you exceed the global limit
• you get banned by cloudflare due to 10k 4XX requests in 10 minutes

[scarlet sorrel]

Can we come back to this

I just want a cancelable loop

[vocal plover]

You could have some sort of variable, say "stop" which is initialised to False when you run the count command. Each iteration of the loop you check if that value is True, and if so break out of the loop. In your stop counting command you just have to set "stop" to True

[wanton cipher]

.

[vocal plover]

yeah, precisely that

sigh

[wanton cipher]

xD

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(...)


@tasks.loop(seconds=1)
async def mes(channel: discord.TextChannel):
  await channel.send("uwu")

@bot.command()
async def uwu(ctx: commands.Context) -> None:
  mes.start(ctx.channel)

@bot.command()
async def not_uwu(ctx: commands.Context) -> None:
  mes.cancel()

why use a while loop when you can use a task loop

[wanton cipher]

fair

try the #databases channel :)

[visual island]

do you think the command is triggered?

[vale wing]

1. Use aiosqlite

Blocking

2. You need to have only one connection

[visual island]

how do you know?

[vale wing]

3. member = member or ctx.author

[visual island]

4. Don't use f-string for the sql query

[vale wing]

5. except IndexError

That is that

[visual island]

There are some possible issues, for example not having process_commands() in the on_message event or you didn't enable message_content intent

[vocal plover]

Actual explanations because just pointing out a bunch of shit doesn't help anyone:

1. aiosqlite doesn't block the event loop while making queries, since discord bots are inherently asynchronous this means you can have multiple of a command running at once
2. using or in this way will return the first truthy object, a non-None member is truthy, failing that it will fall back to ctx.author
3. f-strings for SQL queries can lead to SQL injection, allowing people to make malicious queries. while this wont be an issue for a member id specifically, it's a good practice not to use
4. it's important to catch named exception types, otherwise you could hide a different type of exception which makes debugging hell

[vale wing]

4. use this

cur.execute("SELECT wallet, bank FROM main WHERE user_id = ?", (member.id,))```

[slate swan]

waiting for 2

[vocal plover]

2 is a statement, you dont need more than one connection, there's nothing more to say, you just dont

[vale wing]

2. Creating a connection is an expensive procedure, you can just have one connection and create own cursor for each operation, it is better to have an execute method somewhere in bot class for everything rather than creating new connection and cursor every time you want to make a query

[dusky pine]

2: // TODO: Create 2

[kind trellis]

How do I remove a slash command that is not in my code? I had it as part of my group thing, when trying to get figure out how slash commands work, and now it doesn't delete on re-sync

[slate swan]

what library

[kind trellis]

I've been trying for hours and it won't delete itself

[vale wing]

Last time I faced this issue I ended up making raw requests for each command to delete

[kind trellis]

D.py

[kind trellis]

How do I do that in Python

[slate swan]

just use this ```py
import asyncio
import hikari

rest = hikari.RESTApp()

TOKEN =
GUILD_ID = hikari.UNDEFINED

async def main():
async with rest.acquire(TOKEN, hikari.TokenType.BOT) as client:
application = await client.fetch_application()

    await client.set_application_commands(application.id, (), guild=GUILD_ID)

asyncio.run(main())

[dusky pine]

sarth they said dpy

[slate swan]

just a quick code to purge all commands

[dusky pine]

why would you want an extra library for that

[slate swan]

they just want to purge which doesnt needs any integeration with dpy...

[dusky pine]

a ic

[warped mirage]

guys i need help

[kind trellis]

Import hikari via pip?

[warped mirage]

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'mute' raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50007): Cannot send messages to this user``` can someone help me make a error function so if the bot cant dm someone does as a reply ig

[slate swan]

yeah pip install hikari

[dusky pine]

pip install hikari

[slate swan]

and place your token there

run it and done.

[kind trellis]

As my luck would have it, it's not that simple:

Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.```

[vale wing]

from requests import put
put(f"https://discord.com/api/v10/applications/{your_bot_id}/commands", json=[], headers={"Authorization": "Bot " + token})```
This should delete all commands tho idk ^

[slate swan]

that seems like more of your python config settings....

[visual island]

maybe it is a guild command and you sync global or vice versa?

[kind trellis]

My brain is just mush now

Can I just resync locally?

[vale wing]

@kind trellis try this to delete all the commands and then run your bot to add them back

[slate swan]

i think you need to fetch the commands first, im unsure

[vale wing]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#bulk-overwrite-global-application-commands

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#delete-global-application-command

[warped mirage]

can someone help me?

[vale wing]

Empty list would just delete them

At least I think so

[slate swan]

what's the issue

yeah it should work then

[slate swan]

use try/except block

[warped mirage]

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'mute' raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50007): Cannot send messages to this user i need to make a error function for this,

[warped mirage]

hmm idk ig

[slate swan]

!try-except

try:
    await user.send(...)
except:
    # unable to send message

[warped mirage]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error: Exception):

    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.reply(f'Please specify a user or ID to complete this command', delete_after = 10)

    raise error``` i have this, can i add another error thing here

[hazy oxide]

prob they closed their dms

[vale wing]

!e py try: 50 / 0 except ZeroDivisionError: print("Can't divide by zero")

[slate swan]

you can catch the specific error using ```py
except discord.Forbidden:
...

buttons?

[warped mirage]

thats why i need a function for it

[vale wing]

3.11

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

Can't divide by zero

[warped mirage]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error: Exception):

    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.reply(f'Please specify a user or ID to complete this command', delete_after = 10)

    raise error``` can i add it here by any chance?

[slate swan]

NO.

[hazy oxide]

try discord.HTTPException or discord.Forbidden

[warped mirage]

damn]#

[vale wing]

Forbidden inherits from HTTPException iirc

[slate swan]

yes, and is specific to 403 status

[warped mirage]

well i need to add the error thing for like 3 commands

[slate swan]

;-; create a helper function to send dms then maybe..

[warped mirage]

@client.command(description="Mute the specified user")
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    guild = ctx.guild
    mutedRole = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="muted")

    if not mutedRole:
        mutedRole = await guild.create_role(name="muted")

        for channel in guild.channels:
            await channel.set_permissions(mutedRole, speak=False, send_messages=False)
    await member.add_roles(mutedRole, reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f"{member.mention} has been muted for {reason}")
    await member.send(f"You have been muted in {guild.name} for {reason}")``` how would i do it here

[vale wing]

try-except is basic python

Wrap your critical statement (send) into it and there ya go

[warped mirage]

.. ok then nvm

[vale wing]

is you help subclassed?

yes

[slate swan]

btw you can just do ```py

in the check

[kind trellis]

Ok, it's definitely local to the guild

[vale wing]

That thing didn't work?

[slate swan]

reload your discord client after doing that

[kind trellis]

It worked, but it only removed the global command

[slate swan]

oh

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#bulk-overwrite-guild-application-commands

[warped mirage]

can someone help me?

[slate swan]

use this then

[vale wing]

Then this

            await ctx.send("This cannot be done")
        except:
            await ctx.reply("This has worked")
``` will this work?

[kind trellis]

Thank you. I see I can also make it so only certain people can see certain slash commands

How would that be done?

[vale wing]

Server settings -> interactions -> your bot app -> edit stuff

You can predefine it in code I think but I never tried

Those are called permissions v2 or smth

[warped mirage]

.

[vale wing]

member.send is critical

Not ctx.send

[warped mirage]

what then

[vale wing]

You need to provide values to embed fields

Good

[kind trellis]

Alright. I'll probably do it when my brain isn't mush, lol

[vale wing]

Ok gl

[warped mirage]

lol to fix my thing its impossible then

[vale wing]

If you have basic python knowledge it's easy

[kind trellis]

It sucked that Windows forced me to update when I was in the middle of de-bugging

I got booted off the internet and had no choice but to restart my computer and let it install updates

[warped mirage]

not for dm stuff

[vale wing]

Not to offend but the questions you ask make me think you just found some yt tutorial on "how to make a discord bot" and copypasted the code from there

Sorry if this is wrong but like fr @warped mirage

[kind trellis]

That looks like before the rewrite was done

[vale wing]

Not you lol

[warped mirage]

No I coded the command myself.

And even so that doesn’t fix the dm error

[lyric apex]

Why don't you use 2.0?

[vale wing]

f"{message_before.content}" is a useless str cast, content is already a str and in the future cast to str with str(obj)

[vale wing]

I mean try-except is a very basic python and it's covered in most of python learning guides

Not knowing it is weird

That's just bad practice

Brb

[warped mirage]

Bro I’m not talking about normal python, I’m talking about discord.py, I’m normal py u don’t do dm stuff cuz it’s not related to discord is it?

[warped mirage]

I do use 2.0

[vale wing]

discord.py is a python library and uses python, logic

[warped mirage]

Once again we are changing the topic but sure

[lyric apex]

Then do simple stuff use member timeout

[kind trellis]

Apparently, it's just like you usually do

[warped mirage]

I’ll try in the discord.py channel maybe cuz idk no one has answers here

[vocal snow]

discord.gg/dpy

[lyric apex]

👍

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.10)").

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit "discord.Member.edit").

[warped mirage]

I’m already there lol

[vocal snow]

good

[warped mirage]

Ye dw I don’t need to timeout members, I’m talking about muting but thanks for ur advice

[vale wing]

@warped mirage ok ima be nice and explain try-except to you 😇 (no idea why can't you just read the docs but ok)
So basically try block tries to execute a statement and if it fails, the except block is executed. In your case, the await member.send(...) may fail so you gotta put it to try block and in except put pass or print that bot failed to DM or whatever you want

[tough lance]

hmm... interesting

[vale wing]

And behold the spoonfeed

try:
    await member.send(...)
except:
    pass```

It's also better to specify the exception

except discord.HTTPException:
    ...```

[robust fulcrum]

Bro this has been 3 hours they have not sent me api key on mail

[visual island]

maybe try to fill the form again?

[robust fulcrum]

I am filling form 3rd time

They are not sending ..........

[vocal snow]

Use a different api

[vale wing]

What does that API even do

[robust fulcrum]

Perrespective best

[vocal snow]

what

[robust fulcrum]

Idk any other api

Perrespective api is good

[robust fulcrum]

I once before took the api key and deleted that mail .
Maybe this is the reason?

[vale wing]

I didn't ask what is the API called lol

APIs usually have alternatives just tell me what it does

[robust fulcrum]

Checks that messages is toxic or it contains profanity

It returns the toxity in persentage

[vale wing]

Lol nice

[visual island]

try to see if the mail goes to junk/spam folder

[robust fulcrum]

I cleared the bin last month 😢

[vale wing]

Learn about machine learning and make own toxicity detection AI 🤓

Anyway why not just word filter

[robust fulcrum]

😴

[dusky pine]

use tensorflow, they have pre-trained models

and best part: you don't need to fill any fucking form

[shrewd apex]

perspective works fine i have used it before

its pretty accurate

[cerulean solstice]

SSL handshake failed on verifying the certificate

oof

[warped mirage]

someone please help me here

discord.py server is a mess f

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error: Exception):

    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.reply(f'Please specify a user or ID to complete this command', delete_after = 10)
    
    raise error
        

# Mute Command
@client.command(description="Mute the specified user")
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    print("test")
    guild = ctx.guild
    mutedRole = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="muted")

    if not mutedRole:
        mutedRole = await guild.create_role(name="muted")

        for channel in guild.channels:
            await channel.set_permissions(mutedRole, speak=False, send_messages=False)
    await member.add_roles(mutedRole, reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f"{member.mention} has been muted for {reason}")
    try:
        await member.send(f"You have been muted in {guild.name} for {reason}")
    except discord.HTTPException:
        await ctx.reply("This DM could not be sent.")``` mute command doesnt return the error

[vale wing]

What argument do you not specify

[warped mirage]

Idk , I have one for arguments but the dm doesn’t go through cuz some ppl have dms off

I need to fix that

[vale wing]

try-except does that

[warped mirage]

Nope

I tried still nothing I legit have it in the code****^^^^

I tried printing and also doesn’t work

[vale wing]

Does the dm message get sent

[warped mirage]

No it sends on console message coudnt be sent

It doesn’t crash bot but I want it as a reply to the user

[vale wing]

What error does it send

[warped mirage]

I’ve sent multiple times but I’ll send again

[vale wing]

K do please

[warped mirage]

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'mute' raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50007): Cannot send messages to this user

[vale wing]

Could you give the full traceback

[warped mirage]

It says ignoring from mute command

[vocal snow]

that's for an app command though, the code you sent is a normal command isnt it

[warped mirage]

Ye I need for a prefix command ,

[vale wing]

Could you just give the full traceback

[eager bluff]

is there a way to get a user by their discord nickname (assuming they are all unique)?

[vale wing]

If they share a guild with bot yes

Otherwise I don't think so

[eager bluff]

yeah thats what i meant

[warped mirage]

I’ll have to do that soon cuz I’m busy atm but brb

[vale wing]

Ok

[vale wing]

Depends on what context you are trying to get it. If it is a command argument, you may just typehint it with discord.User ig

[eager bluff]

context as in i type something like ;giverole [nickname] [role] and the bot gives that person the role

[vale wing]

async def giverole(ctx, member: discord.Member, role: discord.Role)```

Roles can only be given to members

[eager bluff]

is there also a way to do it like this?

as in later in the command

[vale wing]

That's a bad way

[eager bluff]

well yeah but i have to use the member/username syntax for other parts and it doesnt work with [username]#4445

[vale wing]

member = await commands.MemberConverter().convert(ctx, "username")```
Iirc it is like this

!d discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter

class discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter(*args, **kwargs)```
Converts to a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member").

All lookups are via the local guild. If in a DM context, then the lookup is done by the global cache.

The lookup strategy is as follows (in order)...

[eager bluff]

so like this?

[vale wing]

You need to import commands

If you need a constant user just use their ID and get object with ctx.guild.get_member(id)

[robust fulcrum]

I have filled form for it but they have not sent mail from 3 hours

[visual island]

I got the response in 10 minutes, probably it got into spam folder of your mail

[knotty agate]

how i can get the reactions on a message
for example

channel = client.get_channel(#number)
msg = await channel.send("how many people think im cool")
await msg.add_reaction("\U0001F60E") #sunglasses

@tasks.loop(seconds=1)
async def check_results():
  print(number_of_people_who_reacted)

*ik this program wont work, its just an example

[cold oyster]

I am trying to use on_command_error. When I am asking for a command which is not there, It should send a message, Instead I am getting an error: <disnake.ext.commands.context.Context object at 0x00000183B2DF4EE0>

[visual island]

you can make the variable a botvar

[cold oyster]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(error, ctx):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
        await ctx.reply("**__Command Not Found!__** The command you tried to use was not found. Please do `24?help` for commands list. If this is an error, Please contact `Shaolin_Dragon#9815`.")
    elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.reply("**__Not Allowed!__** You do not have permissions to run that command. Please contact `Shaolin_Dragon#9815` if this is a mistake.")
    else:
        print(error)

[knotty agate]

what does that mean?

[cold oyster]

@visual island Happy bday

[visual island]

see !botvar for more information

[visual island]

thanks!

[knotty agate]

okay thanks

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[cold oyster]

Lol

[visual island]

you switched the parameter of on_command_error

[cold oyster]

Wdym

I dont get it

[visual island]

ctx should come first, so it should be (ctx, error) not (error, ctx)

[cold oyster]

Oh

Right... I am dumb

BUT! It was tabnine

[cold oyster]

Thx.

[visual island]

anytime 👍

[robust fulcrum]

No it's not there

@visual island

I not found it in spam
What should I do now?

🥺

[visual island]

I don't know, try making a support ticket here https://developers.perspectiveapi.com/s/contactsupport (make sure to give detail explanation and what you have tried)

[robust fulcrum]

I mailed them already

[visual island]

no

how would you

[visual island]

mail to?

[robust fulcrum]

Means i contacted them

[robust fulcrum]

Is there any alternative for perrespective api?

[visual island]

no I meant where did you contact them

[robust fulcrum]

At there contact website

[visual island]

I'm no expert in machine learning, maybe try asking in #data-science-and-ml

I already seen this website

I not found any good one

[slate swan]

tensorflow would be the best way

[robust fulcrum]

But i don't know machine learning

[lavish basin]

I'm new to building Discord Bots and I have a question on keeping the bots running.

Should I run the program on my home computer (very bad probably couldnt handle it with other stuff)

Or buy a server to run it on

[sick birch]

The latter

[slate swan]

a suggestion in advance, don't go for something like replit or heroku

[slate swan]

wait for the mail then

[shell wing]

So i wanna make a event/cmd that makes the bot send a msg that stays in the end of the channel...like the sticky bot...
how can it be done ?

[slate swan]

Send the message, once a new message has been sent in the channel, send it again?

would be annoying as hell lol

many bots do that already

[slate swan]

..

[slate swan]

shouldnt they be strings?

Invalid syntax at %d

Maybe it should be capitalized?

[ivory owl]

can someone give an example of a hybrid command. I am having trouble implementing it

[slate swan]

um?

[wicked atlas]

strftime takes a string

ut.strftime("%A %B, %d, %Y %H  %M %S")

[slate swan]

yeah i was correct 😅

Invalided syntax at %d

[wicked atlas]

Can you send the code you use it in?

[swift pumice]

server

trust

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def uptime(ctx):
    ut = bot.uptime
    await ctx.send(f"I've been up from/for <t:{ut.timestamp():.0f}:T> **{ut.strftime("%A %B, %d, %Y %H %M %S %p")}**")

[wicked atlas]

Use '' quotes for the string you pass into strftime, otherwise it interrupts the fstring

[slate swan]

😳

[slate swan]

sus

[ivory owl]

class SlashBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(command_prefix=".", intents=discord.Intents.default())
        
    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=12345678900987654))
        await self.tree.sync()```

in this, should I have a separate setup hook for every server the bot is in?

[slate swan]

no lol

[ivory owl]

then?

what it should be like? do I even need a setup_hook in the first place?

[slate swan]

yes.

precisely, a message common could be ideal but a setup hook works fine if you change the guild in copy_global_to

[ivory owl]

that is what I am asking. should I have the id of every server the bot is in?

how is it even possible if my bot becomes big(not that it will)

[slate swan]

just remove the copy_global_to line

then it'll sync the commands to each server

the bot can see

and has permissions to create slash commands

[ivory owl]

class SlashBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(command_prefix=".", intents=discord.Intents.default())
        
    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        await self.tree.sync()```

[slate swan]

yes

[ivory owl]

understood

[slate swan]

[ivory owl]

I have another doubt

[slate swan]

hm?

[ivory owl]

if I wanna have hybrid commands, should it be like

@commands.hybrid_command(with_app_command=True)
@client.tree.command(name="ping", description="Lise test")
async def _ping(interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message("pong")```

[slate swan]

no

you dont need the tree deco then

[ivory owl]

@commands.hybrid_command(with_app_command=True)
async def _ping(interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message("pong")```

then this

[slate swan]

yes.

doesnt it take a context though?

lemme check rq

yes it takes a context

[ivory owl]

Parameters
name (str) – The name to create the command with. By default this uses the function name unchanged.

with_app_command (bool) – Whether to register the command as an application command.

**attrs – Keyword arguments to pass into the construction of the hybrid command.

so

@commands.hybrid_command(ctx,with_app_command=True)```

wait

[slate swan]

no

[ivory owl]

it should be in the def

[slate swan]

correct

[ivory owl]

then we don't normally need the interaction parameter?

[slate swan]

@commands.hybrid_command()
async def uwu(ctx: commands.Context) -> None:
  ...

^

[ivory owl]

got it. let me try if this works

[swift pumice]

uwu

[slate swan]

,

[swift pumice]

fr

https://tenor.com/view/tomekcz-funny-cat-haram-scretch-gif-gif-20609460

[slate swan]

we dont talk about that

[ivory owl]

with that

await interaction.response.send_message("pong")```
becomes
```py
await ctx.send_message("pong")```

[slate swan]

ctx.send

[ivory owl]

ah yes

[slate swan]

Hm

[ivory owl]

great. it doesn't work

[cold sonnet]

ew

[slate swan]

...?

[slate swan]

pog

[cold sonnet]

ewu

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

😆

[ivory owl]

are we sure it is @commands.hybrid_command and not @bot.hybrid_command?

[cloud dawn]

Both are valid

[slate swan]

!d
discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.hybrid\_command

@discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command(name=..., *, with_app_command=True, **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`HybridCommand`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HybridCommand "discord.ext.commands.HybridCommand").

A hybrid command is one that functions both as a regular [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") and one that is also a [`app_commands.Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command "discord.app_commands.Command").

The callback being attached to the command must be representable as an application command callback. Converters are silently converted into a [`Transformer`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Transformer "discord.app_commands.Transformer") with a [`discord.AppCommandOptionType.string`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.AppCommandOptionType.string "discord.AppCommandOptionType.string") type.

Checks and error handlers are dispatched and called as-if they were commands similar to [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command"). This means that they take [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") as a parameter rather than [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction").

All checks added using the [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") & co. decorators are added into the function. There is no way to supply your own checks through this decorator.

New in version 2.0.

[ivory owl]

wait a min, do I still need client=discord.Client()?

[slate swan]

bot.hyb.... if not in a cog

idk why I missed that

[cloud dawn]

It's a Bot thing so you'd need commands.Bot

[ivory owl]

that one is defined

[ivory owl]

okay. this solved one problem. slashcommands work now

but ones using prefix don't

[slate swan]

did you enable the message_content intent?

[ivory owl]

class SlashBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(command_prefix=(['li ','Li ']), intents=discord.Intents.default())```
this is what I have

[shell wing]

but it'd be like a annoying spam cause the old msg (same) wont be deleted...

i need to delete the old msg and resend it once a msg is send in a channel

[slate swan]

enable the message content intent first too

def __init__(self) -> None:
  intents = discord.Intents.default()
  intents.message_content = True
  super().__init__(..., intents=intents)

make sure to enable the message content intent from the Bot tab of the app from the discord developer portal as it is a privileged intent

[ivory owl]

yay. both works. thanks dude.

now it is just a matter of time to make this work for my older bot

[slate swan]

pleasure is mine

[slate swan]

goodluck

[glass tangle]

@drifting gobletI don't konw anything about discord bots…. and, I don't understand what you want: what is "2 multiple file"?

[slate swan]

how to edit a embed field?

[sick birch]

Couldn’t have guessed myself

[smoky marsh]

Any recommended sources except the python discord and the docs?

[slate swan]

for discord bots? I'd suggest taking a look at https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/ if your just beginning or something

[smoky marsh]

Oka

[slate swan]

so
I want a message looking like this: @user, if you fucked up, contact the bot owner which is @me
is it possible to have it indeed ping the user but not ping me in the message?

No

@slate swan

Even this pings me 💀

oh dear

[slate swan]

even if you add a slash it would ping you ofc even if its not formatted

yeah

[slate swan]

Then just change my idea a little bit? Think creative.

Send the message, once a new message has been sent in the channel, delete the old message and send it again?

.

[sturdy tapir]

how can I thread in discord.py
Preview :
in on ready I've the script check and do requests continuously but I cant use other commands
like
@client.command
because it's a loop, what should I do?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\lib\threading.py:865: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Command.call' was never awaited
self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
this is the error

[slate swan]

command()

[sturdy tapir]

I know thats not hte problem

@client.command()
async def add(ctx,id):

[vocal snow]

Do you also have a normal function called add

Nvm

[sturdy tapir]

no that's just it

[sturdy tapir]

^

[vocal snow]

What are you trying to thread

[sturdy tapir]

I threaded for the two

the async on_ready function and the async def add

[vocal snow]

Why

[sturdy tapir]

because async on_ready has a while loop

and it cant pause or something if I do the add command

[slate swan]

a task would be enough

[sturdy tapir]

can you demonstrate what's a task?

[slate swan]

!d asyncio.create_task

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_task

asyncio.create_task(coro, *, name=None)```
Wrap the *coro* [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine) into a [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task "asyncio.Task") and schedule its execution. Return the Task object.

If *name* is not `None`, it is set as the name of the task using [`Task.set_name()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.set_name "asyncio.Task.set_name").

The task is executed in the loop returned by [`get_running_loop()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.get_running_loop "asyncio.get_running_loop"), [`RuntimeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#RuntimeError "RuntimeError") is raised if there is no running loop in current thread.

[slate swan]

you should use the internal AbstractEventLoop attribute the Bot class has

[torn sail]

Why do u call it AbstractEventLoop

Lol

[slate swan]

because Bot.loop returns that class

[sturdy tapir]

hmm

[slate swan]

and its a cool word😳

[sturdy tapir]

that seems hard

[torn sail]

It won’t return it tho

[slate swan]

return what? the coros value?

[sturdy tapir]

but okimii

the while loop will never end

[torn sail]

Try printing bot.loop

[slate swan]

iirc it returns None or asyncio.AbstractEventLoop afaik

None being the place holder

[sturdy tapir]

💀 ok

[torn sail]

Abstract event loop is unimplemented. Just for annotations and stuff

It’s never actually used

[slate swan]

it never gets used but it gets set when running the bot afaik

[sturdy tapir]

since I don't understand I'll just make it pause every 3 secs lol

[haughty echo]

[torn sail]

!e import asyncio; loop = asyncio.new_event_loop(); print(loop)

[unkempt canyon]

@torn sail :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

<_UnixSelectorEventLoop running=False closed=False debug=False>

[slate swan]

it returns an internal class? weird

[torn sail]

Abstract event loop is just for typing and stuff

And if u wanna make ur own event loop

[slate swan]

are you sure the class that gets shown isnt a child class of AbstractEventLoop or something?

[torn sail]

It is a child class but AbsractEventLoop is something that needs to be subclassed

Cause it’s an abc

[slate swan]

i need to check asyncio's src lol

[sturdy tapir]

okimii can I put a async def function in a normal one?

[slate swan]

a coroutine obj in a function? yes you can but you cant await it/call it

[slate swan]

how do I get a desktop friendly clickable message link

[vale wing]

def f1():
    async def f2():
        ...

this thing sure

[sturdy tapir]

Hmm

another question

I've a list that a for loop loops around and it's under a while loop

[vale wing]

You mean matrix?

[sturdy tapir]

how do I make the for loop when it finishes the table (finishing doing whatever with all the content of the list) I want it to time.sleep()

[vale wing]

Or what kind of table do you mean

[sturdy tapir]

list

[vale wing]

Ok

[sturdy tapir]

bec if I do a time.sleep after it, it will rest every time she checks one only

[vale wing]

You don't time.sleep() in discord bot you await asyncio.sleep()

[sturdy tapir]

will that solve the issue?

[vale wing]

I don't really understand your issue but you definitely shouldn't use time.sleep because it blocks your whole bot

[sturdy tapir]

bounties = ["2887966607","700032621","1858461594"]

Ah yes

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

[sturdy tapir]

can you show me an example of it in some code

[vale wing]

Where did the usage examples go

[slate swan]

nested functions🧍

[vale wing]

There surely were some

[vale wing]

Used pretty often in decorators yk

[sturdy tapir]

I dont see any

[vale wing]

Especially at custom checks

[slate swan]

most decos use nested functions yes

[vale wing]

@sturdy tapir scroll up the examples are on top of that docs page, there are examples for cogs and non cogs

[sturdy tapir]

found this

@tasks.loop(seconds = 10) # repeat after every 10 seconds
async def myLoop():
# work

[vale wing]

You need to start it too

Also naming convention 🤯

[sturdy tapir]

@client_event

[vale wing]

It is a separate func

[sturdy tapir]

sorry

[sturdy tapir]

yeah and hows that

[vale wing]

^

3rd code block from very top

You don't even need most of that stuff

[sturdy tapir]

What do I need exactly?

[vale wing]

@tasks.loop(minutes=5)
async def my_task():
    # await bot.wait_until_ready()
    ...

my_task.start()```

[sturdy tapir]

oooo

that will do it

[vale wing]

You might need to wait until ready might not, depends on your case

[sturdy tapir]

I'll test it
