What youtube video?

dusky heart
#

this

#

i'm currently at 13:52

#

but he's making a different bot compared to me but i want it to show an attack on titan character when they say Aot pull (as if they're pulling cards from a deck)

vapid dragon
#

That tutorial is years outdated

old talon
#

what do you know about python

dusky heart
vapid dragon
#

What library are you using?

dusky heart
old talon
dusky heart
vapid dragon
#

The library you are using to wrap the discord api

dusky heart
dusky heart
#

thats what the youtube video said for me to use

old talon
#

That is IDE, not library

dusky heart
#

oh

#

i don't know what you mean then

#

sorry i'm new to it all 😭

vapid dragon
#

did you pip install anything?

dusky heart
#

i don't understand all these code words sorry 😭 what does that mean?

#

i installed visual studio code and python

#

that's all i installed

old talon
dusky heart
toxic cargo
#

you will need to py -m pip install discord.py

dusky heart
toxic cargo
#

command prompt

dusky heart
#

i already did it

toxic cargo
#

vscode has a terminal at the bottom somewhere

dusky heart
#

it just gave me a bunch of like collecting things

#

and installing

old talon
#

ok, so you currently basically not implemented anything

#

do you want to ignore the discord bot logic

#

and work on the whatever titan attack thing

dusky heart
#

it's gonna be a discord bot so don't i need to know both?

#

but idk if you guys can understand what i mean so thats what i mean lol 😭

#

i didnt mean that in a mean way btw

old talon
#

we would unlikely be able teach you the entire thing

dusky heart
#

that's okay, i could probably teach myself/watch tutorials

#

i'm just confused as like

old talon
#

and making a discord bot that doesn't have whatever that logic mean nothing

dusky heart
#

no it's gonna be more in depth

vapid dragon
#

dont watch tutorials, no video tutorials are good for discord bots

dusky heart
#

but that's just my first command

dusky heart
vapid dragon
#

Reading docs, looking at examples, reading tutorials that are recommended by members of the community of the discord bot library you are using.

dusky heart
#

i've seen some examples of the discord bots i wanna make but i wanna do it a different anime, and docs? how do i get those? and the visual studio is the library i'm using right? how do i get tutorials from them guys? is there like a discord server that can help me more or are you not sure?

vapid dragon
#

If you plan to continue using discord.py they have a support server

dusky heart
#

is discord.py just for bots on discord so they can help me right?

old talon
vapid dragon
#

yes

dusky heart
dusky heart
old talon
#

No, I am asking you a question

dusky heart
#

oh

#

sorry i didn't understand, i just want to learn more about it in order to create my bot that's all

old talon
#

Well, that seem to me that you didn't learn anything in particular from there, so I think continuing on the same path wouldn't be much helpful imo

dusky heart
#

i mean i did learn some things

old talon
#

so what did you learn?

dusky heart
#

i learnt how to do commands and how to put a prefix

#

i'm just confused as to how i want to do the command lol

old talon
dusky heart
#

i apologise, english isn't my first language lol 🤣

#

but okay no worries but i'm still confused

errant kayak
#

I think the idea is that, whatever your bot does, making it work with Discord is the easy part

old talon
#

Ok, so, first, try explain a bit about the card, and the titan stuff

errant kayak
#

yeah

#

so the bot is going to perform an action, what does it actually take to perform that action? what does it do, and what data will it show the user?

#

if you can answer that question, you can integrate with any chatbot system, not just discord

dusky heart
dusky heart
old talon
#

Just basically everyone here

dusky heart
#

okay

#

(i haven't made any of these commands it's just a idea of what i want to do) basically one of the characters is called Eren Jaeger and he's a titan shifter (which means he can turn into a titan) but they can pull him as just himself, and pulling his titan will like be a harder difficulty but i guess that doesn't matter, so if they pull him as his normal self and have never pulled him before, then they can just either add him to the team and fight with him, they can upgrade him to make him get stronger, and yk how normal fighting games work etc. but i want it to pop up an image when they pull him too so kind of like an embed. i can also show a photo of how i want it to look, if that will help

errant kayak
#

what is pulling and where does pulling happen? is this in a game?

dusky heart
#

so for example they'll be certain channels in a server (discord) and they can do like aot pull (and it gives them a random character of a rarity but the higher rarites, the stronger people for example will be harder to pull)

#

and pulling is like rolling a dice basically

errant kayak
#

ah I see

dusky heart
#

and you land on a certain number but instead of numbers it's cards

#

you get it?

errant kayak
#

it sounds like you have a program that is going to wait for an event to happen, and then produce specific output once that event occurs

old talon
#

do you know how to generate a random number

dusky heart
dusky heart
#

i can show you what i've done so far

errant kayak
#

hm so I'm not sure what level you are with python, but assuming you're a complete beginner

dusky heart
#

yeah i am

errant kayak
old talon
#

yep

errant kayak
#

say, write a program that simulates rolling a 6-sided dice and prints out to the user if they rolled a 6, but do nothing otherwise

#

that isn't exactly what your bot will have to do

#

but it will have to do the general idea of reacting to some event

#

and this simple example will give you a good place to start learning that logic

dusky heart
#

okay no worries thank you

errant kayak
#

It might seem really far off from what you want, but it might be possible to slowly rework this simple program to make it into a discord bot script

dusky heart
#

okay thank you that means alot :)
