Counting system isnt working

[late birch]

I think it’s a problem with your database, not pycord

I don’t have a lot of experience with databases, but I assume you defined an entry to have 4 values, guildID channelID number and lastuserID
so you should pass 4 values or create a default value for lastuserID

Idk, like I said don’t have a lot of experience

I just know how to break them 😅

[late birch]

You never defined it, there is no variable lastuser

[late birch]

Read your error messages

Msg is not defined

But still, msg is not defined

msg = …

you just need an lastuserid, correct?

Use -1 for initialization or something

[fathom wolf]

To get the authors id you can use interaction.user.id

If I'm not wrong

[fathom wolf]

Replace this with msg.author.id and try

[late birch]

but that's not a good way to initialize something

[fathom wolf]

Huh

Then what is?

[late birch]

a default value like -1 or something

[fathom wolf]

No?

[late birch]

of course

[fathom wolf]

interaction.user.id will always give the user id without fail

And if it doesnt it's a pycord error

[late birch]

I never said it would fail, it's just not a good way for initializing a database

[fathom wolf]

where did you read that from?

Or see

[late birch]

it says set up the counter

and inserts a new channel to the database

[late birch]

I suggest -1
from the context I assume you’re writing a counting bot (or feature)
lastuserID will be the person who counted the last number.
Since everyone should be able to start, -1 will not match any discord user id, interaction.user.id on the other hand would restrict the person who used the command for initialization to start the first count.
