VoiceState

How can i get print(hikari.VoiceState.user_id) to return the id ,not <member 'user_id' of 'VoiceState' objects>?

[dusty sun]

you should use the instancce of the voicestate event and not the class

[lunar mountain]

sorry, i am little confused, i am quite new to this

[dusty sun]

you need to listen to the VoiceStateUpdateEvent event

as in, subscibe to it

the event contains the new state and the old state of the user which fired the event (and also the user_id ofc)

i am

[dusty sun]

can you show your code then?

[lunar mountain]

sure

@bot.listen(hikari. VoiceStateUpdateEvent )
async def vc_join(event):
print(hikari.VoiceState.user_id)

sorry

it was VoiceStateUpdateEvent

just tested smth

[dusty sun]

yes, and then you can use event.old_state.user_id and/or event.state.user_id

[lunar mountain]

ok thanks

[dusty sun]

and other properties/methods that the VoiceState class provides ofc

[lunar mountain]

Also how can i make this only trigger if a user joins?

[dusty sun]

check the old_state and the new state for a channel

but remember, when they change channel, they still join a new channel 😉

[lunar mountain]

what would event.old_state.user_id return? cause for me it returns Traceback (most recent call last):

  print(event.old.state.user_id)
        ^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'VoiceStateUpdateEvent' object has no attribute 'old'```
am i missing anything?

[dusty sun]

its old_state
