Question about accessing user assets

[stray leaf]

The reason why avatar is None is because the bot doesn't have an avatar

For that, you'd have to use default_avatar instead of avatar

=docs default_avatar

[round birch]

User.default_avatar
Member.default_avatar
ClientUser.default_avatar
WidgetMember.default_avatar

[ember stream]

oh

i just tried out stuff and realized display_avatar seems to work

so shld I instead use default_avatar?

[stray leaf]

Display avatar also works

[ember stream]

alr so its fine using that over default_avatar right?

like I mean does it not work at times or sm like that?

[main birch]

display_avatar should be an alias for avatar or default_avatar

[stray leaf]

avatar returns None tho

If no avatar

Oh wait

I read it wrong

Ignore what I said

But yea it is

[main birch]

lol it exactly is

[stray leaf]

Yeah it uses default_avatar if avatar is none

Wait isn't default_avatar the same thing as display_avatar tho

As in the use case

[ember stream]

yea I but get an error when I use just avatar

display_avatar.url

doesnt return any issues and does the expected thing

so ig i'll just stick with that

[main birch]

yeah thats what youre supposed to use so thats correct

[ember stream]

alr thanks

[ember stream]

@main birch apologies for the ping but is there a way to set embed colour as black?

like does Nextcord.colour have a value for black?

[main birch]

nextcord.Colour(0)

[ember stream]

ight

thanks

[outer sable]

=docs Color.default

[round birch]

Colour.default

[outer sable]

Works too

[ember stream]

Hey

What decorator should I use to check if a user running a command has the required perms

@application_checks.has_permissions()

i used this but people without the required perms are also able to run the command

[stray leaf]

could be either role or channel perms

[ember stream]

yea its role perms

[stray leaf]

which permission(s) are you requiring

[ember stream]

manage_roles

its just a cmd to assign a role to a user in the server

so yea

[stray leaf]

have u double checked the role perms and the channel perms

[ember stream]

yea

ok wait

does viewing the server as a role without these perms

still be able to use the commands?

[stray leaf]

not rlly

[ember stream]

what I mean is, i'm the owner of the server, but view the server as a role without these perms

[stray leaf]

are the people running the cmd have admin

[ember stream]

so will I able to run the command then?

[ember stream]

its just me mate

[stray leaf]

u're the server owner, so ofc u're able to bypass the permissions thing

or if u have admin

[ember stream]

alr yea I get it

[stray leaf]

if u dont want specific admins to use the cmd, use has_role or has_any_role depending on how many roles u require

[ember stream]

okk

thanks

[ember stream]

ok so I'm in a server which my bot is in, where I dont have admin perms...but I am still able to run a command that requires the member to have admin perms

[ember stream]

this how my code looks btw

i'm not able to trigger the error when I dont got the required perms

and idk why

[stray leaf]

you're not a server owner there right

[ember stream]

nah

[ember stream]

could you check if theres maybe smth wrong in the code?

[ember stream]

i tried everything but this issue still persists..is there anything I can do?

[stray leaf]

I don't see anything wrong

[ember stream]

exactly..i've been trying to figure this one out for a while now

[ember stream]

alr entire shit was my fault..I had admin perms under a role that I didnt notice in that server also the code where I dealt with the error, didnt require self as a parameter

so yea now everythings good

thanks for helping @stray leaf and sry for wasting your time

[ember stream]

Yo

What do I use for creating Activities?

nextcord.ext.activities used to exist before didnt it?

[stray leaf]

As in status?

[ember stream]

no

like discord activities i mean

i used to have it working before using the nextcord.ext.activities which existed earlier

but now I cant find a way to do it

[stray leaf]

=docs activities

[round birch]

Member.activities
Activity.timestamps
Permissions.start_embedded_activities

[stray leaf]

As in those activities where u can play

[ember stream]

yea

[stray leaf]

I don't think that existed in nextcord

[ember stream]

it did

i could maybe search up an old tutorial for that

as proof

but i'm not sure if i'll find one

[stray leaf]

Seems like it existed since like 2-3 years ago

[ember stream]

wait lemme check it up

nvm I cant find any tutorials on that

[stray leaf]

It doesn't exist in nextcord anymore

[ember stream]

alr

so there is no way I can implement that

[stray leaf]

Nope

You'd have to manually make it

[ember stream]
