How can I check whether someone responds to my modal or just presses cancel?

[twin mural]

for a response I have used async def callback and that works but I can't understand how to see if someone pressed cancel

depending on the response from modal, I send an embed with 2 buttons which further completes the whole transaction

[iron plover]

Do you want to send a message when they press Cancel too?

[twin mural]

yes

the second embed depends upon the value sent in the modal

[iron plover]

Can you show the Modal, please?

[twin mural]

code or the modal?

Probably not the best name for a bot /nbr

Very cool idea though 😎

[iron plover]

Just a screenshot of the UI.

[twin mural]

ye it's just a testing bot

trying out new code for the main one

[cobalt flume]

Ah

I'm too lazy to set up multiple bots.

I just block the unstable features for people who aren't Devs haha

[twin mural]

lol nice

[cobalt flume]

Hey can I just take a peek at the code? It'll help me with some modals I'm working on. (Don't worry I won't steal your code.)

nor will I steal your idea

I don't really dabble in crypto

[twin mural]

literally just copy pasted https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/modal-dialogs/#customization

one sec

class MyModal(discord.ui.Modal):
            def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
                super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
                self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Receiving Coin/Token (Ticker only)"))

            async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
                if self.children[0].value is None:
                    print('ok this part works')
                    await message.channel.send(f'Please enter a valid Coin/Token in the popup. Kindly try again.')
                    await message.channel.send(f'{tip_prefix} {user} {what_has_been_tipped}')
                    return
                self.children[0].value = (self.children[0].value).upper()

if self.children[0].value is None:
                    print('ok this part works')
                    await message.channel.send(f'Please enter a valid Coin/Token in the popup. Kindly try again.')
                    await message.channel.send(f'{tip_prefix} {user} {what_has_been_tipped}')
                    return

this part was an attempt to see if someone presses cancel

[iron plover]

I wonder if you can use on_timeout() to build what you need.

[twin mural]

that's already there

but I used on_timeout for the buttons

[iron plover]

Then, in there, check if the field is empty or not.

If empty, assume they pressed Cancel.

[twin mural]

let me try the timeout thing for modal

did this

[iron plover]

What do you need that boolean for?

You probably need to send a self.stop() when the timeout happens.

[twin mural]

to stop the timeout if the person interacts with the modal

[iron plover]

According to docs and if I understand them correctly, this should be enough.

[twin mural]

ok

how can I solve this

[twin mural]

await interaction.response.send_modal(MyModal(title = "Swap Completion", timeout = 1)) is this ok

[iron plover]

Yes, probably.

[twin mural]

still getting this error

[twin mural]

[late bluff]

you can't check if someone pressed cancel

it's not an event that discord broadcasts, all it does is dismiss the modal

[iron plover]

I still think you should build that differently. Forget about the Cancel button, especially if you can't manage to make the timeout work to do something similar.

[twin mural]

I think the timeout thing would be my best bet

[twin mural]

I tried using the on_timeout function similar to how I did it with buttons, but I'm getting this error

[iron plover]

I saw it. I have no idea how to fix it.

[twin mural]

ok I got it

the error is in the way I set the timeout

earlier I was using this:

await interaction.response.send_modal(MyModal(title = "Swap Completion", timeout = 30))

the timeout= 30 part is causing the problem

the on_timeout function is fine

[iron plover]

How do you know? Without that, the function doesn't even get called.

[twin mural]

it doesn't take timeout as a parameter

used timeout for one of my buttons before:

and in this modal, it's treated as a literal

[iron plover]

Where are we supposed to set that value then?

[twin mural]

maybe that's the problem

[twin mural]

don't know

quite sure my on_timeout function is fine since it's the same as the timeout function my other two buttons use, which work perfectly

i saw setTimeout somewhere on SO but I think that was js

maybe something similar would help out

and if timeout doesn't work, I could make a variable with the value of 30 and then loop it such that it reduces to 0 in 30s and then I execute the on_timout function

not ideal, but should work

[iron plover]

I'm looking at the code for Pycord and Modal has a timeout parameter, although it's not listed in docs.
