how would i make a button only work for the person who did the command?

[cloud fiber]

Pass a user attribute to your class

[deep panther]

example?

like user: discord.Member?

[cloud fiber]

view = MyView()
view.user = ctx.author
await ctx.respond(view=view)```

[deep panther]

alright let me try

[small pike]

use interaction check

[deep panther]

btw inside the command that uses the button or inside the button itself?

[cloud fiber]

Thought that was obvious. The command.

[deep panther]

thought as much just wanted to make sure

[deep panther]

raise ApplicationCommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'loginView' object has no attribute 'user'

[cloud fiber]

Code

[deep panther]

class loginView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
    
    @discord.ui.button(
        label="Submit Code",
        style=discord.ButtonStyle.green,
        emoji="🔒",
        custom_id="submit"
    )
    async def create(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        modal = LoginModal(title="")
        await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)```

[cloud fiber]

Command code

[deep panther]

@bot.slash_command()
async def command(ctx): 
    await ctx.defer()
    view=loginView()
    if view.user == ctx.author:
      embed=discord.Embed(title="stuff",url='link',color=0x00aaff)
      embed.add_field(name="more stuff",
                            value="stuff ", inline=False)
      embed.set_image(url="stuff here")
      embed.add_field(name="stuff here",value=f'stuff here', inline=False)
      await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=loginView())
    else:
      return```

[small pike]

if you want user in your view, you have to put user in your view

[cloud fiber]

You definitely didn't understand the code I gave you

[deep panther]

yup

i can confirm

i didn't

[cloud fiber]

And you literally did what you wanted

You dont check the view.user in the command.

You do that on interaction_check on your view class.

[deep panther]

oh

you said in the command a bit ago so i got a little confused

[cloud fiber]

Yes, this

This looks nothing like a check

What we're doing there is:

[deep panther]

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      view=loginView()
      view.user = ctx.author```?

[cloud fiber]

Creating an instance of a View(), setting an attribute to it which is the author, which then you access in your view class with self.user

And then you're sending such instance

[cloud fiber]

No, that's where you run the check.

interaction_check expects a return of True or False

So you work with your condition and return whichever value.

[deep panther]

huh?

[cloud fiber]

Do you have some python knowledge

[deep panther]

yeah kinda

still a newbie tho

[cloud fiber]

Do you know OOP

A Discord bot is hard for new people

[deep panther]

no not really

[cloud fiber]

[deep panther]

tbh thing is my only issues are with the buttons and new stuff

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        return interaction.user.id == view.user```

does this make sense?

[cloud fiber]

You're close

But that will always return False

[deep panther]

so

[cloud fiber]

Because an int will never be equal to a user object

[deep panther]

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        return interaction.user != view.user```

[cloud fiber]

No

[deep panther]

oh

[cloud fiber]

Just self.user.id

[deep panther]

like this?

[cloud fiber]

You access a class attribute with self

[deep panther]

i edited it

oh

[deep panther]

so like this

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      return interaction.user.id == self.user.id```

[cloud fiber]

Bravo

[deep panther]

i don't change anything in the command itself?

 line 168, in interaction_check
    return interaction.user.id == self.user.id
AttributeError: 'loginView' object has no attribute 'user'```

[cloud fiber]

Create the instance, set the attribute, send the button

In the command

[deep panther]

oh yeah

[deep panther]

alright why won't this work

[cloud fiber]

Command code

[deep panther]

that happens after i press the button

[cloud fiber]

I know

I'm asking for your command code

[deep panther]

@bot.slash_command()
async def command(ctx): 
      await ctx.defer()
      view=loginView()
      embed=discord.Embed(title="stuff",url='link',color=0x00aaff)
      embed.add_field(name="more stuff",
                            value="stuff ", inline=False)
      embed.set_image(url="stuff here")
      embed.add_field(name="stuff here",value=f'stuff here', inline=False)
      await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=loginView())```

code so bad bro got offline

[cloud fiber]

You didn't set the view attribute

And you're creating a NEW instance when sending the view

[deep panther]

oh

do you have an example

[small pike]

yeah but all the problems you're having are basic python issues

[deep panther]

hm

[deep panther]

like this?

@bot.slash_command()
async def name(ctx): 
      view = loginView()```

i figured it out

dw about it
