As to the error... sending it might help
molten solstice
i sent to late i was gonna ping adam and see if hed delete but dev portal error
i am
@dense scaffold my bad im using mobile. and the websites not mobile friendly
dense scaffold
**main.py**
Is your file definitely called main.py? Because the panel is set to run a file called bot.py
molten solstice
main file is bot.py
my bad
main.py is a sepate bot i dont even want to fuss with.
dense scaffold
ah I see the problem, you never actually call your main function in your bot.py
You define it - async def main():
but you never call it
molten solstice
how would i do that when the function is import the seperate file?

@molten solstice, you just advanced to level 2 !
molten solstice
my original code

Hmm it seems you don't really understand what the code you're writing is doing
molten solstice
its just supposed to send the ping
im just tryna learn how cogs work
cause my codes aren't organized and they are ugly
but all the explanations online and on github are poorly wrote
dense scaffold
What you sent just there, is you calling main() inside of main().
You need the call to it to not be indented at all
What you did was basically saying to Python that When I tell you to "main()", what you need to do is log into the bot, then run main() again
What you should say to python is When I tell you to "main()", you need to log into the bot.
Then, after that, you tell it main()
molten solstice
how would i format this? im just having a bit of trouble understanding how im supposed to format that
dense scaffold
Move the line main()all the way to the left
molten solstice
i have no issues with regular code, cogs hurt my head
dense scaffold
this is kinda basic python 😄
It's making a function, and calling that function
molten solstice
i didnt wanna ask
cus its simple af
like part 4 in the tutorial.
lmao.
makes me not wanna learn but i just learned alot about writing custom commands for yagpdb but i want to make a discord game
so the very last line
after bot token i move to the far left hand side, it should be on the border?
@dense scaffold maybe i misunderstood what u explained saying
dense scaffold
that paste is empty
