Making a simple math

[viscid trellis]

so uhm

your answer is already an int

why would it not be

protip you can see the types of variables if you hover over them in most editors

your issue boils down to this

content is a str

answer is an int

[slow violet]

so I compile answer to str by str(answer)

[viscid trellis]

you convert it

compiling is a completely seperate thing you don't even really do in python :P

but yes, your idea is correct

[slow violet]

Bot still not say "Congratulations"

by the way how can I handle the timeout (if no right answer on time)

[viscid trellis]

try except

[slow violet]

I have edited the code, is this right?

[viscid trellis]

I guess it werks

although I think you have to be the first person in history to use else in try except

[slow violet]

sorry I have edited it Again

the timeout is now work but the answer is still not working

[viscid trellis]

I just slapped it in my bot

it werks

sooo

do you have message content intent?

can your bot see the channel?

[viscid trellis]

besides all of the warnings lul

[slow violet]

isn't "Administrator" giving fully access to the server?

[viscid trellis]

indeed

so the remaining problem is the message content intent

./tag msgcnt

[random ether]

Why is some information about my messages from MessageCreateEvent unavailable?

You may have not enabled the Message Content Intent. This had been a thing for bots from August 31st, 2022 onward. For more info, refer to https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404772028055

Firstly, go to your discord developer portal. In your bot application, in the bot section, tick this to be on. (check the attached screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8Ps9Boi.png)
Secondly, in your bot's code, add the highlighted lines:

bot = hikari.GatewayBot( # or lightbulb.BotApp
    "your token",
    intents=hikari.Intents.ALL_UNPRIVILEGED | hikari.Intents.MESSAGE_CONTENT # Add this line
)

You should now receive all information about such messages. :)

Note: You will still receive this information for messages in which the bot is pinged and for any message in DMs, regardless of the intent.

how do I avoid these? sorry i'm new to Python

[viscid trellis]

well not using bare except is p straightforward

it is a bad practice because it handles all errors, not just the ones you want to handle

which may lead to errors being unintentionally eaten

[slow violet]

ok so I've edited it again now is it look fine?

[viscid trellis]

if you imported asyncio, I guess

[slow violet]

Yes I've it imported, it's worked fine now
by the way I add except TimeoutError is it ok?

and how to avoid "x" is possibly unbound

same as "answer" is possibly unbound

[viscid trellis]

well the answer is p much in the error

:P

make it not possibly be unbound

[slow violet]

can you do an example please

[viscid trellis]

if foo > bar:
  x = 5

# x is possibly unbound if foo > bar
print(x)

[slow violet]

i get it

erm, by the way

view = miru.View()
view.add_item(miru.text_select(
  placeholder="Choose a number",
  options=[miru.SelectOption(label="One",value="1")]
 ))

await ctx.respond(components=view.build())```
do you know why is this not work?

[viscid trellis]

there's like 1 bazillion reasons

I recommend you read the miru docs

and not use outdated tutorials

also please stop pinging me every single time
