Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

[terse siren]

but chatgpt is smarter than most of us lol

[short acorn]

Time is useless in an async environment

In a vc its hard idk how much experience u have but maybe start with the same thing in a text channel?

self-report

[neon crystal]

i need a bot to countdown ina vc 24/7

wjthout going inactive

[gloomy halo]

Gotta host a server for it then

[terse siren]

@limber light shhhhhh

[neon crystal]

i have a server already

[short acorn]

How much experience u have do u think u could do it for a text channel?

[narrow finch]

this is a learning server, no one is gonna do anything for you

[neon crystal]

dang

[short acorn]

Dont have to code it but if u cant do that maybe start with that

[terse siren]

You would be surprised. Not everyone is arrogant. We all need help learning

[neon crystal]

i got none experience but i js need that bot to do that in a vc

[narrow finch]

if u dont have any experience u shouldnt take on this project

[short acorn]

We'r not here to do it for u we are here to help u learn how to do it

[neon crystal]

do you know how to do it?

[limber light]

there are plenty of people here that could certainly do it, but this server isn't for getting people to do random work for you :D

[neon crystal]

i js need that xd

[narrow finch]

if u "js need that" then do it urself? we're not gonna do it for you

[terse siren]

You should learn the language man

[short acorn]

Doing it for a text channel can help understand the basics of a bot and its almost the same i bet just a different way to send the message

[terse siren]

We can help you if you don't know what we are talking about bc you don't know the language

Cant*

[short acorn]

Oh i expected him to know a bit of python at least

[neon crystal]

my dad knows pythong

python

[limber light]

take it as a chance to upskill ;)

[terse siren]

Do you know anything about it? Python I mean

[neon crystal]

no xd

[terse siren]

Then we can't really help. But only do it for you which alot of people won't lol

[neon crystal]

dang

[short acorn]

Learn it urself or i feels sorry for him but naybe ask him and we can help him with the secifics?

[narrow finch]

i still dont feel like u should start with this project if you know nothing about python or bot development

[short acorn]

I would if i would be at pc but we may even have a rule for that

[neon crystal]

i just want the bot lmao

[short acorn]

Ask somwhere else

[limber light]

yeah, and making the bot requires someone to put in labour to create it

[terse siren]

So your better question would be. How do I get started in bot development?

[limber light]

why do you expect people will just do that for you for no benefit?

[neon crystal]

i can gvie money

[neon crystal]

i dont but like always worth to ask

[narrow finch]

not allowed

[terse siren]

Lol

[neon crystal]

but if u do it in dms?

[limber light]

lmao

just go on fiverr or something if you want to actually hire someone

[narrow finch]

listen, NO ONE is going to do this for you here, either ask somewhere else or rephrase your question

[neon crystal]

how hard is it to do this project eith no expericence

[narrow finch]

depends if you can read docs

[limber light]

it is certainly non-trivial

[short acorn]

2 days max if u really try i would say maybe

[limber light]

if you have literally 0 programming experience i would imagine it would take you like minimum 2 weeks, if you dedicated a significant amount of time to it

[terse siren]

That's how it was for me lol

I started learning python by doing discord.py

Bad place to start

[neon crystal]

is this code good enoigh

import time

def countdown(t):
while t:
mins, secs = divmod(t, 60)
timer = '{:02d}:{:02d}'.format(mins, secs)
print(timer, "minutes till countdown")
time.sleep(60)
t -= 1

print("1 minute till countdown")
time.sleep(30)
print("30 seconds till countdown")
time.sleep(20)
print("10 seconds till countdown")

for i in range(10, 0, -1):
    print(i)
    time.sleep(1)

print("Go!")

Start countdown for 3 minutes

countdown(3)

Hey @neon crystal!

It looks like you're trying to paste code into this channel.

Discord has support for Markdown, which allows you to post code with full syntax highlighting. Please use these whenever you paste code, as this helps improve the legibility and makes it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

[limber light]

no, that simply does not solve your problem

[narrow finch]

that has nothing to do with a discord bot

[neon crystal]

i mean like

code for it

[short acorn]

Judgeing from my completle starting friend who started with bot with the help of chat gpt

[narrow finch]

not even close tbh

[neon crystal]

dang

https://youtu.be/aWwjRP4qAdQ?si=8XzBt7VliXxHw3Ti

this works?

[narrow finch]

this wont solve ur problem still?

[neon crystal]

dawg why isnt there a bot like that in topgg

[short acorn]

Probably requires the basics of bots to understand but u could rty

[narrow finch]

ur gonna follow the tutorial and at the end realise ur not where u want to be and come back here asking us to do it for u

[terse siren]

@neon crystal I would suggest you learn the basics of python first before trying to task a bot

[neon crystal]

i ha

ve

but its too hard

lol

[short acorn]

Whatch a tut on dc bots+vc and maybe if u folow it well ull be half the way there

[terse siren]

its the easiest programming language ...

[neon crystal]

python?

[terse siren]

yes

[short acorn]

After scrach

[neon crystal]

not lua?

[terse siren]

scratch is not a programming language lol

[short acorn]

Tho not sure its a lang

[limber light]

if you want to make it yourself, you should be prepared to dedicate non-trivial amounts of time to learn python to make it, and that's okay, it's a hard skill to learn

[terse siren]

well i dont consider it lol

[short acorn]

I think thats like the same difficulty tho i never tryed

[limber light]

graphical programming languages are definitely still programming languages

[neon crystal]

what would hall want in exange if you do it

[terse siren]

drag and drop means not coded means i would not consider it lol

[narrow finch]

!rule 9

[strange sluice]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[narrow finch]

do u not read what we say

[short acorn]

I heard manageing memory defines it so im not sure?

[limber light]

sure, but you would be wrong lol

[limber light]

you're using python, you're not managing memory in that language either lol

[terse siren]

maybe so but personal opinion

[neon crystal]

dangg

[short acorn]

But could

[neon crystal]

i have so hard in learning it

ive tried several times

[short acorn]

Thats like why html aint a lang

[limber light]

afaik you literally don't have access to language features that let you manually manage memory

[narrow finch]

html is a markup language

not a programming language

[short acorn]

Pymem at the least

[limber light]

html isn't a programming language because you can't describe computation with it

[narrow finch]

^^

[short acorn]

Oh k

[limber light]

pymem has nothing to do with managing memory

[terse siren]

well now we are all off topic lol

[short acorn]

Ye thats what im thinking

[neon crystal]

isnt there any tutorial where they just show and where you can change the sentence the bot speaks

[narrow finch]

you want the bot to speak???

thats gonna take an extra week alone

[terse siren]

interaction.response.send_message(content="YOUR TEXT GOES HERE")

thats what you will need you can figure the rest out as you learn

[narrow finch]

wait thats a thing?

nvm

[terse siren]

im sure somehow lol

with TTS

[narrow finch]

i thought op wanted voice

[neon crystal]

dang

[short acorn]

Aint there a command to make the message be readden?

[terse siren]

im sure its possible but even we dont know so surely he wont get it to work lol

[short acorn]

/tts admin vommand

[terse siren]

Yeah but a bot cant use other bots (The system bot) commands

[short acorn]

Tho idk how a bot would call a command

[terse siren]

i dont believe they can

not that ive ever seen

[neon crystal]

alr ty for ye
