i want the bot to use slash commands and use the commad of magik to ask a question and reply random answer from 8ball responses.txt file

what the bot is doing
it shows application did not repsond
but it shows up in shlash cmds

any one care to help pls ?

also i want an input box beside the slash cmd where ppl can put the question inside that box

[lofty jungle]

is there any error being printed in your terminal?

[real snow]

nop
lol
ikr

warning thr tho

wud u like to c that

[lofty jungle]

u sure and there isn't any error handler in your bot?

[lofty jungle]

yeah can you show it

[real snow]

i think the code is sumwhr inccorect
cuz i got it to work perfectly
now sumwhr somn is missing

no error thingy yet
am new
So..

[real snow]

sure

i think the last await shud be for response for that last warn ig

[lofty jungle]

await interaction.response.send(response=random_responses)

in here change the response=random_responses

to content = response

[real snow]

ah okah lemme c

[lofty jungle]

since send fucnction has no parameter response

[real snow]

oh

lemme try

now

still app did not respond

[lofty jungle]

and the line doesn't make sense cuz above it you are doing

response = random.choice(random_response)```

[real snow]

i think i needa add somn after interaction part ? to make the bot sense that ppl r giving input ?

[lofty jungle]

oh and my bad

[real snow]

umm okah so what do i do ?

[real snow]

?

[real snow]

that is to choose a random one from the file i think

if am r8

[lofty jungle]

it's interaction.response.send_message()

[real snow]

oh

[lofty jungle]

not interaction.response.send()

[real snow]

retrying

hard luck

still app didnt respond

i can show u the ctx version

[lofty jungle]

can you send the current code

[real snow]

perhaps some changes over here ?

[lofty jungle]

and plz wrap it in codeblock

[real snow]

how do i do that ?

[lofty jungle]

!code

[barren crown]

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.

[real snow]

here u go

[lofty jungle]

zzz

[real snow]

?

[lofty jungle]

you aren't sending any thing in here ```py
await interaction.response.send_message()

send_message is a function in which you need to pass the msg that you want to send

atm it's empty

[real snow]

so.. i put response=response over thr yea ?

[lofty jungle]

also ```py
async def magik(interaction:discord.Interaction):

type hint interaction parameter in your function definition

[lofty jungle]

content = response or just response since content is positional variable

[real snow]

didnt work

this is slash for my ping cmd and it works fine

u can perhaps relate ?

[lofty jungle]

are you loading the magik command in a cog?

[real snow]

when i do this more errors r popping out lol

[real snow]

nop

[lofty jungle]

it's wierd you are not getting errors

[real snow]

pycharm shit

lol

[lofty jungle]

perhaps you have an error handler?

[real snow]

sadly not yet

to my surprise is tht
i got it to work
then it doesnt

lol

[real snow]

am getting warns tho

[lofty jungle]

show em

[real snow]

but i dont this this is pretty much in our case

[lofty jungle]

those unrelated to our case

[real snow]

yea

then y it isnt working lol

[lofty jungle]

i'll check the command on my system

can you provide me the txt file

[real snow]

sure

wait a mun

i get t

lol

my txt file shit just disappeared the file is thr nothing is written over thr tho

that cud b the prblm

lemme put in somn and try

lol

how dumb

[lofty jungle]

🪦

[real snow]

look dude

am so sorry for wasting ur time

it worked

now can i have a another help lol

[lofty jungle]

yeah keep on stating

[real snow]

sure my man

this is my current code

bot reply

but my question isnt shown

how do i do that

[lofty jungle]

what was your question?

[real snow]

i want a box to input questions

beside the slash

[lofty jungle]

do you want the option to be optional or compulsory

[real snow]

lucky?

[real snow]

which showing question ?
compulsroy

brb

[lofty jungle]

then you need your function to take in a parameter and typehint as an str
Like

async def magik(interaction:discord.Interaction, question:str):

now your question will be the question

that you asked

[real snow]

okah

what does str do ?

[real snow]

got that done

now i want the bot to display qesution

[lofty jungle]

then you can create a msg like

reply = f"**Q.** {question}?\n**Answer:**\n{response}"
``` and then send this reply

here question is the question parameter you created

and response is the answer

[real snow]

gotcha

lemme try

i shud do this belowe with open thingy r8 ?

or below responsese

i put it below response and no change

[lofty jungle]

just before await interaction.response.send_message()

[lofty jungle]

are you even sending it in send_message?

[real snow]

got it done

thanls

how do i wrap it in an embed now

lol

last and final one

[lofty jungle]

for that you will need to create a embed object

I suggest looking at a yt video

cuz verbally it will be hard to understand

[real snow]

oh

lol

nvm

tysm for ur time

appreciate it

[lofty jungle]

yeah i don't mind telling you but it will be hard to understand what i'm telling you to do

so i suggest you watch a yt vid on how to create discord bot embeds

[real snow]

oh

also if ur wondering

i have alrdy done an embed in a cog

i just needa wrap this

[lofty jungle]

then it's the same

[real snow]

this is the test embed

[real snow]

oh

lemme c

[lofty jungle]

you just need to make some slight modification to this structure

[real snow]

uhuh

[lofty jungle]

and you will be good to go

[real snow]

title be the questoin

description will b the answer

colour blah blah

and am done

lemme give it a shot

[lofty jungle]

this is what each part does and where it will be shown

[real snow]

uhuh

how do i make the title my question ??

[lofty jungle]

title = question

[real snow]

not like that

like the question from the user

how do i and quesiton from the user and answer from the bot whrvr i wanna place in the embed

that strcuture am not sure abt it

?

[lofty jungle]

how do you want it to look?

[real snow]

or else new idea

title shud be magik 8ball
also is anyway i can past link in this title ?

[lofty jungle]

yes there is a url parameter

[real snow]

description shud be
question
{user's question}

answer
{bot's answer)

[real snow]

cool

[lofty jungle]

!d discord.Embed

[barren crown]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

x == y Checks if two embeds are equal.

New in version 2.0...

[real snow]

got it

now how do i add the question and answer part ?

title is magik 8ball

that i did

[lofty jungle]

you will need to use f-string to format it however you want

!f-string

[barren crown]

Format-strings

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[real snow]

okah

lemme c

do i put url link in " or ' ?

' i think ?

[lofty jungle]

both will work

both single and double quotes represent strings in python

just remember both opening and ending quote should be same
you can't do it like

"this is a string' # this will give error

[real snow]

got

have done somn

lemme c

moment of truth

phew

meh

i lost it

lesgooooooooooo

got it

slight mistake

where did the question go

[lofty jungle]

👍

[real snow]

lol

trial and error is the key

lmao

[lofty jungle]

only error is the key incase of coding

[real snow]

lesgoooo

lemme make it bold

to leave 2 line

do i do \n two times ?

[lofty jungle]

\n\n

[real snow]

gotcha

moment of truth

purrfecto

just as i wanted

[left lintel]

can i make slash commands with multiple options with description

[real snow]

yes ofc
dank memer has it

i think u add more stuff after interactions. part

also am not the best to help u out here

[lofty jungle]

yes

[left lintel]

give me a code

[lofty jungle]

async def cmd(interaction:discord.Interaction, option_1:str, option_2:str): # Note that typehinting is important

[left lintel]

i want the full code that makes slash commands with multi options and options had description

[real snow]

that is what he sent i think

[left lintel]

options had no description

[real snow]

r u doing in a cog or not?

[lofty jungle]

https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2023/01/30/app-command-examples.html

[real snow]

@client.tree.command(name="ur command here", description="ur description here")

*if ur not doing in a cog **

@discord.app_commands.command(name="ur command name here", description="ur description here")
*if ur doing in a cog **

this is what i did

also make sure u have imported the required stuff

[lofty jungle]

there are multiple methods of adding in description

[real snow]

oh

the one i did is also valid r8 ?

[lofty jungle]

yes

[real snow]

fine

@left lintel here u go

[real snow]

okah then dude

[real snow]

yo last thing

i dont needa import app_commands from discord seaparately now ?

cuz it says unused

evn tho in my cog i use app_commands for slash

[lofty jungle]

well if you do discord.app_commands then not needed

[real snow]

oh

the when is it needed ?

[lofty jungle]

and if u do app_commands only the you do

[real snow]

oh

okay cool

also i got a task thing unused

but when i remove it it pops up an error

and says identifier expected

[lofty jungle]

idk can't tell without looking

where you are getting the error

[real snow]

oh

the place where tasks was the

[real snow]

see that tasks
that is whr the error pops out

i use it to change bots activity status

but it says unused tho

[lofty jungle]

yeah it's unused since it's darkened

[real snow]

then i can just remove it ?

but then error comes

y is that then ? any idea ?

[lofty jungle]

try running the code if it runs then no issue

except your linter

[real snow]

i cant run

cuz red flag error

[lofty jungle]

at which line

[real snow]

where the task is thr

nvm

lol

lemme re run

[real snow]

lol my bad

i removed tasks

but i didnt remove the comma b4 that

so thats y error

i removed comma

works fine

last and last thing for 2dy

[real snow]

or can i delete the requirements file

and add it again

[lofty jungle]
