hi again

blazing ledge
#

You appear to be passing something other than a string to int, and are specifying a base as the second argument to int.

#

Hello.

velvet basin

lemme send

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

help me fix this garbage

#

its supposed to be a create role command with as many options as humanly possible

blazing ledge
#

That error means that y isn't a string.

#

Print it out to see what it actually is.

velvet basin
#

it said to me that the (number, 16) cannot be converted nonstring

#

so what do i have to do

blazing ledge
#

!e

int(5, 16)
fading archBOT
#

@blazing ledge :x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "/home/main.py", line 1, in <module>
003 |     int(5, 16)
004 | TypeError: int() can't convert non-string with explicit base
velvet basin
#

omg

blazing ledge
#

If it's a number and you want to just get a hex repr, you can use the hex function.

velvet basin
#

ok

#

so

#

i was told that i take the hex number the user gives me and convert it with 16

#

or smt

#

thats all i know

blazing ledge
#

Oh, actually, it's not necessarily y that's the problem. You're doing this effectively:

#

!e

int(808080, 16)
fading archBOT
#

@blazing ledge :x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "/home/main.py", line 1, in <module>
003 |     int(808080, 16)
004 | TypeError: int() can't convert non-string with explicit base
blazing ledge

Since number is a number. But yes, if you just want the hex repr, use hex:

#

!e

print(hex(808080))

#

@blazing ledge :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

velvet basin
#

so i just

#

do what

#

like

#

do i

#

colorhex = print(hex(808080))

#

?

blazing ledge
#

No, you wouldn't use print. print doesn't return anything.

#

Also, you'll need to check what format discord.Color expects. You may need to replace that leading 0x with a #.

velvet basin
#

so what do i do?

#

it doesnt want the #

#

it just wants the pure number

#

without any #

blazing ledge
#

Maube just pass number directly?
