to use bot.get_channel, it must be stored in the bot cache which is unreliable. instead try to use guild.get_channel with a guild object either from ctx.guild or something similar

[thorny vapor]

this is a test that runs every 10s so i dont have ctx or anything i can get the guild id if get guild works better

[dry chasm]

so it's a task loop?

[thorny vapor]

not quite it uses a module that works only on main so i got no idea how to do this

bot=commands.Bot(command_prefix=".",intents=discord.Intents.all())

def check(t):
    with mcrcon.MCRcon(HOST,PWD,PORT) as server:
        while True:
            members=bot.get_channel(1226117248154861572).members
            names=[member.nick.lower() for member in members if member.nick]
            print("ran")
            players=server.command("list")
            players=players.split(": ")[1].split(", ")
            print(players)
            for player in players:
                if player.lower() not in names:
                    server.command(f"kick {player} Go to Mc server voice chat")
            time.sleep(t)
check(10)
bot.run("

now that i see i dont even run the bot but how the hell would i do this?

[dry chasm]

using bot.get_guild would be better since it's not just stored in cache

[thorny vapor]

the giuld is None prob bc the bot aint running but how do i run the bot and run the loop on main at once?

i have to go so its hard to test from my phone but ill try test from now but i can

[dry chasm]

the issue is that python only allows one thread per program

unless i am being dumb

you can only run one loop at a time

I would just turn the check function into a task loop

[thorny vapor]

Nah u can start new threads just the module i use mcrcon works only on main thread

*by default

[thorny vapor]

So if i do it as a task loop u say it might work?

[dry chasm]

yeah probably

I gtg its 12:35 AM

and I have stuff tomorrow

or I guess today

[thorny vapor]

Also my other idea would have been to rename threads so it thinks it runs on main

[dry chasm]

that is slightly cursed

[thorny vapor]

Ok good bye

[dry chasm]

bye

perhaps ask some of the nice folks in #python-discussion to come here and help

[thorny vapor]

!solved
