Where you get the code for the Slapper converter?

A tutorial

dreamy lotus Sep 4, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

How old is the tutorial??? Was it written for discord.py?

cloud temple Sep 4, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

yeah

#

it's like 10 months old

dreamy lotus Sep 4, 2023, 1:13 PM

#

Well it's not correct lol there's no third parameter on the convert function

cloud temple Sep 4, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

yeah, so that's the change i made, in the original tut, he was using slap command on any random member but I wanna do it by tagging some specific person and that's where i messed up

If a function isn't being called by you, you can't change its parameter signature. To do what you want you'd need to change the parameters of the slap commands function since you call it using Discord.

#

So, I have to make changes in the function and not the class itself?

#

hey, so is there any need to make a Slapper class for slap fucntion?..
I did all the previous commands without making a converter for them

I don't see why you would need to. A converter is mostly just used for example to take a user id in your command but get the user in the code.
