!paste

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

i tryed everything i could think of

[cobalt nebula]

u still havent asked a question yk

[coarse elbow]

ok how can i fix the code? its saying that i need and await function for the bot.load_extention but when i await it it doesnt load

[silent crest]

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    await loop.run_in_executor(None, load_cogs)

you dont need this

you can just await the function inside the on_ready

although ppl dont normally do that..

you could make a separate main function and load cogs and stuff in it

and dont sync your commands in on_ready

it can cause ratelimits

[coarse elbow]

Ok thanks for the help

I'm new to all this so I'm struggling big time😂😂

[silent crest]

async def main():
  intents = discord.Intents.all()
  bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!O' , intents = intents)

  await load_cogs()
  bot.run()

asyncio.run(main())

smt like this

and remove all those stuff from the on_ready

[silent crest]

itll take a while to get used to the api

and if youre new to python in general id reccommend you to first learn some basic to intermediate stuff (basic oop) atleast

[coarse elbow]

I took a course but this bot stuff is confusing

[silent crest]

yeah discord api wrappers arent beginner friendly at all

they use async programming, oop, decorators, meta classes and so many other not so easy stuff

[coarse elbow]

Well it's better to try hard and learn rather than giving up😌

[silent crest]

most people reccommend others to know atleast how oop works before diving into the deep hole of bot development but if youre deterministic enough as a beginner and still wanna do bot dev then go ahead

[silent crest]

well just that youll find it hard to get help

so enjoy if you can

[coarse elbow]

I will

[silent crest]

unironically thats kinda how i learnt python, through making bots as a beginner

took a few years to get it all down

but was worth it

i guess
