Basic Pycord Help

[daring valve]

just if antispam:

[frank anchor]

antispam: bool

[daring valve]

yup

[frank anchor]

its ok enabled works already

but how do i get the detection

[daring valve]

What you can do imo:
Detect if user not in "exceptions list"
Get ~5 first and ~5 last letters
Store them in dict and store amount of spam messages
If new message contains exact first and last letters -> add more to spam amount if spam amount is big enough -> punish

[frank anchor]

im taking aobut this kinda spam

f

f

f

f

f

f

[daring valve]

Yes.

Nothing will change lol

str[-5:] will just return 1 letter if message is 1 letter long (like just f)

[frank anchor]

i dont understand

[daring valve]

"The silly fox really loves programming"
"The silly fox really loves programming"[-5:] -> "mming"
"The silly fox really loves programming"[:5] -> "The s"

"f"
"f"[-5:] -> "f"
"f"[:5] -> "f"

[frank anchor]

its basically taking some of the contents of the 1st message then checking to see if the other messages have the same contents?

[daring valve]

Yes
if the user's message has the same contents as his previous message

[frank anchor]

how can i put this into code for my bot event?

[daring valve]

make bot.event to bot.listen

add bots check

[frank anchor]

wym bot checks

[daring valve]

if user is bot -> skip

if message.author.bot:
return

[little cobalt]

or if message.author == client.user: return x3

[frank anchor]

like this?

[little cobalt]

one great oneliner xd

[frank anchor]

@bot.listen
async def on_message(message):
  if user is bot -> skip
  if message.author.bot:
    pass
    
  if antispam == "Enabled":

[shell radish]

💀

[daring valve]

make if message authot return, not bot pls

[daring valve]

Only self messages, and also not bot check

[little cobalt]

Now I want to ask for basic Python ;3

[frank anchor]

im sorry, but im so confused on what you mean

[daring valve]

if message.author.bot:
return

Delete
if message.author.bot:
pass

[frank anchor]

ok

did that

what should i do now?

[daring valve]

I already told you, please

Do you know basic python?

[frank anchor]

depends whats basic

[daring valve]

Have you already written discord bots?

[frank anchor]

yesa

[lofty parcel]

Tell me that's a joke

[frank anchor]

dang im getting clowned 😭

[frank anchor]

its not tho, why?

[lofty parcel]

Because that code doesn't make any sense

[frank anchor]

im just taking his advice

[shell radish]

they gave you pseudocode and you just slapped it in

[frank anchor]

i didnt know it wasnt pycord after all this is a pycord server

[fleet cedar]

THE OM KILLER? 💀

[rancid arrow]

new programming language just dropped

[fickle salmon]

you should have enough experience with python to know that was pseudocode and not real python

[glossy latch]

How to make buttons work in the dms ?

[little cobalt]

the same like at the server?

[glossy latch]

Yup

[little cobalt]

than why do you ask?

[glossy latch]

Because when i click it shows interaction failed

[little cobalt]

after a restart of the bot?

[glossy latch]

Yup

[rugged lodge]

Here's the persistent example.

did you respond?

[glossy latch]

Yup

[cerulean sun]

hey im building a slash command with options. When i use it, it doesnt show the options that the user inputted in the original message. It just shows the slash command used. Any way to display the options inputted?

[shell radish]

when you click the command itself, it will show the options used

[frail ocean]

Is there a way to get how many / commands the bot have?

[round heart]

Is it still true that you cannot combine a discord.Member Option type with an autocomplete, or otherwise filter the users that show in that control?

[edgy nest]

yes

[shell radish]

only string autocomplete if that’s what you mean

but you can always code your own

[round heart]

Thanks!
Maybe one day Discord will be more flexible

[fickle salmon]

I was using a member auto complete to act on a member in that channel, and the initial list was filtered to members in that channel. So I wonder if discord is doing that by default, or learning the use case of each command or something, or even something as simple as showing recently active users

[noble flax]

Can you use buttons, context menu's etc. within DM's to people? Via a bot obviously.

[subtle moth]

Yes you can

[lapis dock]

It works the exact same way as normal.

[lapis dock]

Discord always sorts mentions off of who sent the most recent message to the channel and so on. Not sure how many users it saves before just doing off name tho.

[hazy turret]

Is it possible to use multiple selection with a slash command in autocomplete?

[lapis dock]

No, but you can do it manually in autocomplete. So after they select an option the next suggestion is a , then it will suggest things again

[hazy turret]

As an example here:
Can I select both German and English here?

    @option(
        "language",
        description="Choose your Language.",
        choices=["English", "Deutsch"],
        required=True,
    )```

[lapis dock]

No

And that is not autocomplete those are just choices. Just to let you know

[hazy turret]

Yes I know.
So is it not somehow possible to select multiple options?

Here is what I have in mind:

Choices: ["apple", "banana", "tomato", "potato"].

shopping_list: Apple:2 Tomato:1 Banana:3

And then in the callback I want to extract the values accordingly using the : so I know how much of each I need.

[lapis dock]

You would have to use autocomplete to do it manually. Or use a select menu.

[hazy turret]

How can I do it with autocomplete?

[hazy turret]

Somehow I can not manage that I can select a second thing 🤔

    async def test_autocomplete(self, ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
        buffs = ["Buff1", "Buff2", "Buff3", "Buff4"]
        return [buff for buff in buffs if buff.startswith(ctx.value.lower())]


    @slash_command(
        name="test",
        description="test",
) 
    @option(
        "test",
        description="test",
        autocomplete=test_autocomplete,
        required=True,
    )
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def create_template(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        test: str,
    ):
        await ctx.respond("Successfully.")

[hazy turret]

Can anyone help? 🙂

[sharp birch]

Hello. Is it possible to restrict a slash command to be visible only to some users or only in one server?

[little cobalt]

Only for permissions

[sharp birch]

Okay. Thank you

[lapis dock]

You would need to add more then just a simple auto complete. I've never done it but I would do something like.

buffs = ...
Choices = []
if ctx.value.lower() in buffs:
    Choices.append(ctx.value)
return [ctx.value + ", "+ buff for buff in buffs if buff.startswith(ctx.value.lower().split(", ")[-1])]

[lapis dock]

Just add guild_ids to the command (as of right now this will on update on a bot restart.) Otherwise you can use default permissions. But to restrict users that will have to be done per server by server admins. Or you could use a check but that would still show the slash command to all just not let the command return anything.

[sharp birch]

Yeah that works but I wanted it to be clean and not show all the administrative commands to everyone. The permission restriction is good enough.

[hazy turret]

I don't quite know how this is supposed to work.
I would like to have several entries in the field of the autocomplete, but they are all in the given list.

list = ["apple", "banana"]

var: Apple:2,Banana:3

Tomato should not be possible then e.g.

[lapis dock]

I can't make the whole function for you but the basic idea would be.

1. Get the current input
2. Split the input into options EX split(", ")
3. Do simple auto complete on the last element of step 2.
4. Reconstruct the return list with previous selections and the new suggested option at the end.
5. Repeat above steps until command is submitted
6. In the command split the string into individual options again (same as step 2)
7. If there is an invalid option return an error.

List> banana, apple, watermelon, pear, grape, orange, blueberry, 
User> wa
Suggested> watermelon, 
User> watermelon, b
Suggested> watermelon, banana, 
    watermelon, blueberry, 
User> watermelon, blueberry, app
Suggested> watermelon, blueberry, apple,

[hazy turret]

Okay I will give it a try.

Or do you have another idea how I can maybe make it better?

I have a list with 19 entries. From this I want to select the entries I need and additionally to each entry I want to specify how much of it I need. The number can be different for each item.
To make 19 options with choices from 0 - 10 would not be very useful and very confusing, so I am looking for another good solution 🤔

[lapis dock]

I think that this is the best way to start. The numbers will make it more difficult but you should be able to use some python knowledge to figure out the algorithm.
||ChatGPT might be able to help with the algorithm part||

[harsh gust]

How do i make autocomplete but for optional arguments

[little cobalt]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_autocomplete.py

[harsh gust]

IK how to make autocompletes

but can i do it for Optional ones

[little cobalt]

yea

[harsh gust]

oh

[little cobalt]

its at the example here

[harsh gust]

kk

ty

[harsh gust]

i couldnt find any examples for autocompletions for optional arguments

  async def render(self, ctx,prompt:str,
                   size:Optional[int]=100,
                   color:Optional[str]="white",
                   ephemeral:Optional[bool]=False
                  ):

was talking about those

i want autocompletion for the color param

[lapis dock]

discord.Option has a required keyword argument

[harsh gust]

rip

[harsh gust]

can i edit a message if its ephemeral

[unkempt cipher]

yes

either per edit response / edit followup
or edit message

[harsh gust]

kk

alr worked ty

[sharp birch]

How can I add a description to an OptionChoice?

Write a description here?

[lapis dock]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.Option
There is a description keeard argument

[sharp birch]

oh i missed that while reading the docs. thanks

[slender lantern]

So I'm starting a new bot. It's not my first one by any means, but I think I'm forgetting something very basic; I just can't figure out what.

1. The bot has the "bot" and "applications.commands" scopes
2. I've got py-cord==2.4.1 installed
3. I've got no other "discord" or "discord.py" package installed
4. The bot is a subclass of discord.Bot
5. I have debug_guilds set in the initializer, and I get no complaints about it in the debug output
6. I have a command defined in a cog
7. I've confirmed (via print in the initializer) that the cog is being loaded
8. The bot's on_connect and on_ready are firing

Despite this, my slash command isn't registering. The cog:

class BasicCog(Cog, name="Basic WoD Commands"):
    """The "Basic" cog contains non-help commands usable by anyone without a
    character in the bot (though some commands have enhanced functionality if
    the user has a character)."""

    def __init__(self, bot: BotchBot):
        self.bot = bot
        print("basic")

    @slash_command()
    async def ping(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        """Responds with pong."""
        await ctx.respond("Pong!")

def setup(bot: BotchBot):
    bot.add_cog(BasicCog(bot))

slash_command is imported from discord.commands

[shell radish]

did you override on_connect

[slender lantern]

... ah. yeah, that would do it, huh

perfect, ty!

[shell radish]

yay

[slender lantern]

Knew it was something simple, lol

[shell radish]

yeah that happens

[stray pasture]

Can you get the ip of a member. For exemple to make sure to ban that device and he does not make a other account and come back ?

[edgy nest]

discord does that for you

you cannot access the ip address of a user

but they are ip banned from your server if they get banned

[stray pasture]

oh they already does the ip ban ?

great !

did not know that thank you 😄

[frank anchor]

how do i do a drop menu like this

[rugged lodge]

Here's the dropdown example.

[frank anchor]

ty @shell radish

[sharp birch]

hey, i just came home and read this. i think you misunderstood. i want a description for the choices, not for the command itself

like this

[shell radish]

you can't

[sharp birch]

then how was that bot able to?

[shell radish]

I actually I misunderstood your question

user is an option

not a choice

avatar is the command

discord.Option.description is exactly what you are looking for

[sharp birch]

That sets this, not what's highlighted in red

[shell radish]

no, that is ApplicationCommand.description

[fringe drum]

the part in red is the option description. if you click on the option that text will appear where the text circled in yellow is.

when no option is selected like in the image above, as said by squid, that is the comand description

[wary wyvern]

Hi,
I have a question, how can I delete an ephemeral response message from an interaction?

await interaction.message.delete() return Unknown Message

[shell radish]

.rtfm interaction.delete

[sly karma]

2 results

discord.Interaction.delete_original_message
discord.Interaction.delete_original_response

[shell radish]

@wary wyvern the latter one

[wary wyvern]

there is no interaction.delete

I can only see interaction.delete_original_response which does not work as well

[shell radish]

what's the error, if any

[wary wyvern]

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10015): Unknown Webhook

[shell radish]

could you show the related code for this?

[wary wyvern]

@Bot.event
async def on_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):
  if(interaction.custom_id == 'close_ticket'):
    await interaction.response.send_message('Are you sure you wanna close your ticket?', view=buttonYesNoView, ephemeral=True, delete_after=10)
  elif(interaction.custom_id == 'no_ticket'):
    await interaction.delete_original_response()

[wary wyvern]

Something like this

[shell radish]

what message are you deleting

the message that the button is attached to or –?

[wary wyvern]

Yes, the message with buttons

and it's ephemeral

[shell radish]

is the message a followup or an original response

[wary wyvern]

When I use interaction.message.content I get the content successfully but interaction.message.delete() fails

[wary wyvern]

original response

[shell radish]

What does interaction.data return

[wary wyvern]

{'custom_id': 'no_ticket', 'component_type': 2}

[shell radish]

Is there any reason you are specifically using on_interaction instead of the View class?

[wary wyvern]

I think that was the quick solution cuz I wanted to make the button work after the bot is restarted

[shell radish]

where do you send the button

[wary wyvern]

buttonYesNoView

[shell radish]

what is that referencing?

[wary wyvern]

yButton = discord.ui.Button(label='Yes', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, custom_id='yes_ticket')
nButton = discord.ui.Button(label='No', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey, custom_id='no_ticket')
buttonYesNoView = discord.ui.View(yButton, nButton)

[shell radish]

when you try to use interaction.message.delete() what is the error message? With traceback, thanks.

[wary wyvern]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\HamidReza\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 378, in _run_event

    raise NotFound(response, data)
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10008): Unknown Message```

[shell radish]

hmm. Does the message have an ID and what is it's author?

[wary wyvern]

It does have an ID

and author is the bot username

[shell radish]

and is it possible that the message has already been deleted

[wary wyvern]

no

I even tried removing that delete_after from the send_response method

Doesn't work

[fickle salmon]

Can you delete ephemeral messages now? You couldn't originally

[shell radish]

yes

https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log#delete-ephemeral-messages

seems like you can only delete a message with the original interaction token

[little cobalt]

You can even edit them

[wary wyvern]

So, what's the solution now

[shell radish]

so if this was sent from another button, that button's interaction would be used to delete the actual message

[fickle salmon]

I don't think that's new though

[shell radish]

you would save the Interaction object that sent the ephemeral message somehow and use that saved Interaction object to delete the ephemeral message

and to delete it you would use the interaction.delete_original_response() coro method

[wary wyvern]

Ok, and thanks for helping 🙃

[deft kestrel]

Log
Args are not shown when the user uses the slash command for example /help 1 it only shows /help

@client.event
async def on_application_command_completion(interaction, *args):
    
    logchnl = client.get_channel()
    
    arguments = ' '.join(args)
    
    embed=discord.Embed(title="/{} {}".format(interaction.command, arguments)
    embed.set_author(name=interaction.user.name, icon_url=interaction.user.avatar.url)

[shell radish]

1. on_application_command_completion only takes one argument, context, not multiple.
2. You can use ctx.selected_options

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/events.html#discord.on_application_command_completion
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationContext.selected_options

[deft kestrel]

thanks for help

[frank anchor]

@bot.event
async def on_channel_remove(channel):
  if antiraid == "Enabled":
    if 

the part i need help on is the blank if statement, i want it to basically say "if the person who deleted the channel is a bot"

can anyone help

[stray pasture]

Is it possible to have a button that does not expire ?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the persistent example.

[stray pasture]

thank you !

[languid prism]

For a slash command, if it times out, does any code that would run otherwise not?

[lofty parcel]

That event doesn't exist

And you'd need to get the audit log to get the person that edited the channel

[lofty parcel]

The slash command timing out doesn't make the process of your command stop

[frank anchor]

alr

[languid prism]

Is there anyway to do so within the library or is that something I have to handle on my own?

[subtle moth]

You need to first defer the interaction before responding

Since your callback takes more than 3 seconds to respond

To defer do await interaction.response.defer()

And place it at the top of your callback

[subtle moth]

I'm not sure if this would work since you aren't really responding to the interaction after you defer

don't think so interaction.message.edit responds to the interaction

[little cobalt]

Its not

Instead of interaction.message.edit() use interaction.response.edit_message()

[subtle moth]

I see

[bronze beacon]

for some reason discord.Bot isnt getting recognized

[heavy sky]

Are you getting any errors?

And did you uninstall discord.py, and install py-cord?

[bronze beacon]

AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'```

I did

only py-cord isnt installed

[heavy sky]

Can you show me your pip list?

[bronze beacon]

using the getting started code sample

[lapis dock]

Not if they only want slash commands. discord.Bot is fine

[lapis dock]

Can you restart your IDE

[bronze beacon]

yea thats what im aiming for

kk

im using a venv if that helps

still didnt work

i tried to reinstall the lib

let me try without a venv

[lapis dock]

Can you try printing discord.__version__

[bronze beacon]

2.0.0a

[lapis dock]

So you are installing your packages to a venv but not running your code in it or vise versa.

[bronze beacon]

I installed the package in both my venv and global env

both dont have the discord.Bot() attribute

[lapis dock]

Your console should look like this is you are in a venv
(venv) PS C:\Users\USER\Desktop\StatWolfBot>

[bronze beacon]

is there a difference between py-cord and pycord

yep

[lapis dock]

Yes py-cord is us. pycord is some video manipulation library I think.

[bronze beacon]

yea I installed py-cord

[fleet cedar]

can you do pip -V

[bronze beacon]

pip 22.0.4

let me try upgrading it

[fleet cedar]

i actually wanted the python version at the end of the output

forgot to mention 😂

[bronze beacon]

ah

3.9.13

[fleet cedar]

hmm

[bronze beacon]

should upgrade?

to 3.10 or whatever the latest version is

[fleet cedar]

3.8+ is supported tbh. so you should be fine

and what does python -V output?

[lapis dock]

Can you show the whole line. of output

[bronze beacon]

Python 3.9.13

[fleet cedar]

hmm no issues there ig

[bronze beacon]

pip 23.2.1 from C:\Users\anis\Desktop\Desktop\Project\Environments\BTF-Client\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)

I just upgraded pip

[fleet cedar]

ah

[bronze beacon]

the yellow warning is annoying

I mean iv made multiple bots before on the same machine and python version

first time facing this problem

[lapis dock]

Check that your interpreter is set to
C:\Users\anis\Desktop\Desktop\Project\Environments\BTF-Client\test\venv\Scripts\python.exe

[bronze beacon]

it is

im really confused rn

should I change smth in my env variables in windows

or is that just for java

[lapis dock]

Ive never seen anyone need to change env vars.
If you are not far into the project you might want to just copy/paste the code you have and delete the vevn and create a new one.
I am seeing no issues

[bronze beacon]

I tried opening another project

that was just running like last week

it didnt work

im not sure what went wrong

let me just upgrade python

[lapis dock]

Somewhere you have py-cord 2.0.0a installed and the project is trying to use that for whatever reason

[bronze beacon]

restarted my pc now it works

I love coding

not really working

now its working

weird

anyways really sorry for the waste of time

I should have "turned it off then on"

before asking for help

thanks all

[lapis dock]

Its fine. vevns like to act weird sometimes

[wary wyvern]

Can a button's label be bold?

[little cobalt]

test like this?

[wary wyvern]

Yep

[little cobalt]

good question

2x * text and again 2x *

[wary wyvern]

doesnt work

[frail ocean]

? Can it be that my bot needs 1.4GB ram on 4.8k servers? That is already very much

[little cobalt]

How many intents do you use?

[frail ocean]

Member

The bot also needs 2h until the on ready triggers.

[little cobalt]

Only member intents?

[frail ocean]

Yes

[little cobalt]

Do you use AutoShareBot?

[frail ocean]

Yes

[little cobalt]

4.8k are so many Servers x3

mhm

[frail ocean]

That’s not many xD

[little cobalt]

My Internet is sadly sometimes so bad that I cannot really host a bot

It dies at least every day one time

I'd say that it is pretty normal

[shell radish]

?tag xy

[limber wagon]

An XY problem is when you're trying to ask about your attempted solution, rather than your actual problem.

You are trying to solve problem X, using solution Y. Instead of asking for help with X, you ask about Y. This only results in frustration as whoever is trying to help you needs to ask several questions before even beginning to help you with your actual issue, wasting both their own, and your time. Always include as much information as you can about your problem, including attempted solutions. If there are solutions you've ruled out, include them along with an explanation as to why you've ruled them out.

[velvet sail]

[learning from the image] am i able to just use self.bot.get_cog("whatever the cog's name is") in a cog?

[shell radish]

but why

[velvet sail]

i thought it might be useful for calling functions across scripts instead of redefining them

is there a better way of doing this?

[shell radish]

yes, create a seperate file that you can call from your cogs

[velvet sail]

okay

[velvet sail]

that aside, how would i go about doing this?

if it is possible

[frail ocean]

Bro carl bot needs 3 gb howw?

[shell radish]

yes

[heavy sky]

as Lala said, that's probably per cluster:

[shell radish]

I mean carl also uses pycord so

[frail ocean]

Oh

[vapid tangle]

So, I'm trying to run this

from .mixins import Hashable

But I do know that I need the .mixins package form somewhere but idk what pip command I should run in my terminal, sorry if this doesn't make sense I'm very new to this

[little cobalt]

And how is that related to pycord?

[vapid tangle]

I saw this in a pycord documentation webpage

[little cobalt]

where?

[vapid tangle]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/v2.4.1/discord/channel.py

[lofty parcel]

What

[shell radish]

what

[lofty parcel]

That's the library itself

Not the docs

[vapid tangle]

am I missing something simple?

uh...

[fleet cedar]

.guide

[sly karma]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[fleet cedar]

see that if you are just starting out

[vapid tangle]

Alright, I will

[fleet cedar]

this is the libary source code, not the docs

the docs are at https://docs.pycord.dev

[shell radish]

www.docs 💀

[fleet cedar]

yikes 💀

stuff happens

[deep blaze]

how do i disable a select menu after clicking on it

[little cobalt]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons

There is a example for it

[deep blaze]

woudn't work

[little cobalt]

sry

wrong link

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/dropdowns

[deep blaze]

Wouldn't work either

[lofty parcel]

why not lol

[little cobalt]

And what is the error?

[sacred burrow]

Is there a method somewhere that will cause all registered commands to be re-evaluated?

Context: for commands defined in a cog that use Options in the command function definition, I would like the available options to be loaded on the cog's initialization rather than when the cog's .py file is loaded.

[shell radish]

I don't think so. You can try using autocomplete tho

since that allows for things to be dynamic

[sacred burrow]

Darn. Right now I am working around this by setting up option choices before the cog is loaded but that seems really rancid

[deep blaze]

No error lol

[lapis dock]

What's wrong with the example? It just does not disable the select?

[stray pasture]

Is there a way to safely close the bot (I see the close() method, but it only say it close the connection with discord) ? I just normally kill the process on linux

[zinc pagoda]

Sorry for any trouble, but I am new to pycord and am running into an issue. I cant seem to get aplication commands to work, and even when I use the example documentation for slash commands, I get an error: Invalid Form Body
In name: Username cannot contain "discord"

My bot does not contain discord in the username, which was my first thought, and I have a feeling I am doing something wrong. Anyu help possible is appreciated, thanks!

[shell radish]

does the any field (e.g. name, description, option) of the slash command contain "discord"?

[zinc pagoda]

Oops, sorry -
It turns out my application has discord in the name, and I was thinking of the bot only. My appoligies, thanks for the help though!

[shell radish]

yay

[fleet cedar]

iirc, if you used bot.run(), then the close() method will also close the event loop, and then the procress itself shutsdown gracefully

ctrl + c does that too

if you are using some tools to deploy, send a SIGINT to the process

that gracefully closes the bot

[stray pasture]

Thank you ☺️

[deft kestrel]

How would i go about checking if the current chennel is NSFW?

[vapid tangle]

Ok so yesterday I asked for help about the documentation but I ended up sending this github source code that I was trying to guide myself trough, I did know that I had seen this in a documentation somewhere and I found it https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/_modules/discord/channel.html

So, the only things that is getting me confused is that I have no idea about what package to install to be able to run "from .mixins import Hashable" Im really sorry if this is simple and if I'm wasting anyone's time with this

[edgy nest]

why are you trying to use hashable

[vapid tangle]

To be able to run this line, which I think is the only way to make a text channel?
class _TextChannel(discord.abc.GuildChannel, Hashable):

[edgy nest]

you need to learn python

and how libraries work

[vapid tangle]

I will try again I guess, thank you for replying to me

[edgy nest]

no but genuinely

I wish I was joking

that is the worst thing I've seen in this channel

[vapid tangle]

Well, I am desesperate, I spent a few hours trying to understand these things already but I guess I will have to search even further

[edgy nest]

if you think you already know enough python, I would start off at the examples in the GitHub repository and the 'getting started' page in the docs

but I heavily encourage you to learn some more 'vanilla' python

specifically OOP

we have a tag for some resources somewhere

?tag lp

I really don't want to be mean or discourage you and I'm sorry if I did

But you really should start a bit smaller and get more of the basics down before diving into something like a discord bot

[sour musk]

Heeeey, i have question about slash commands.
more specifically about the specifics of the register of numbers

[sour musk]

@bot.slash_command(name='alpha', description="create code")
@commands.has_any_role("Admins", "Global Moderators", "Regional Moderators",
                       "Events MC")
async def add(ctx, addcode: Option(int, description="write code")):
  data = (addcode)
  with open('ba.json', 'w') as file:
    json.dump(data, file)
    await ctx.respond(f'You create code {addcode}', ephemeral=True)

[sour musk]

@deft kestrel Display a list of roles

[valid panther]

Does anyone know how to get the Guild from the Id (int) ?

[lapis dock]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.get_guild
Don't forget you might need to fetch too.

[lapis dock]

I'm not exactly sure how discord handles it however I am sure that python gets rid of leading zeros. That is just how integers work.
You would have to take a string and check if the string was only numbers yourself if you want to include leading zeros.

https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_string_isnumeric.asp you can look at this to

[sour musk]

TY, i try it, just never had this problem before.

[lapis dock]

If you think about how ints are stored in binary.
5 -> 101
You cant add leading zeros.
1010 = 10 not 05

[deep blaze]

yes it woudn't disable and no errors

[boreal rain]

someone told me u can make slash commands
visible to certain roles
anyone knoww how that works or can give me a link to it in the docs
thanks

[fringe drum]

dont think you can make it visible to only certain roles but you can use the has_role decorator to check if the person using the command has the role required
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role

[sharp birch]

How can I have multiple options per command. This code returns an error:

@bot.slash_command(
    name = "parameter",
    options = [
        discord.Option(
            name="string select",
            description = "select a string",
            choices = [discord.OptionChoice("One", "one"), discord.OptionChoice("Two", "two")],
            required = True,
        ),
        discord.Option(
            name="float select",
            input_type=float,
            description = "Type a float value",
            required = True,
        ),
    ]
)```
Error: `discord.errors.ClientException: Too many arguments passed to the options kwarg.`

I'm trying to make a command which changes parameters internally, each parameter will have its own option instead of having all different commands

[fringe drum]

.rtfm slash_options

[sly karma]

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash options example.

[sharp birch]

aah i forgot to add the parameter to the function

yeah thanks

[sharp birch]

is it possible to mention someone in the footer of an embed?

[lofty parcel]

No

Footers don't parse mentions

[daring valve]

Is it a good idea to translate errors for users? Also, is it a good idea to translate pydantic (validation) errors?

[fickle salmon]

If you're using localization already why not translate the error too

[daring valve]

Fair, but I'll also have to translate all pydantic errors too 💀

[daring valve]

Bot randomly crashed after ~2 weeks of non-stop working
Is it my fault, or just Heisenbugs?

[little cobalt]

you should add a check for something like this

[daring valve]

Idk when and why this was triggered
This is inside pycord 💀

[little cobalt]

I have it for anything

[little cobalt]

?

[daring valve]

This is inside pycord
I don't even know why it crashed the bot, because when you get error in your functions, you just get traceback, but bot keeps working

[little cobalt]

oh

[daring valve]

Your bot doesn't even crash by your mistakes, bot can crash only if something was triggered not by (outside of) pycord (like syntax error not in the function)

So yeah, really odd

[wind crypt]

how do i fix 😭

[daring valve]

#how-to-get-help And you most likely used wrong bot (iirc bot.slash_command is for prefixed bot (ext.commands), but you probably have normal bot)

[wind crypt]

completely unrelated but-

[fringe drum]

show some code

[wind crypt]

i figured out the error

[daring valve]

?

[wind crypt]

how come if i try to run it in vsc, itll show errors but if i run it in terminal like py main.py itll work with no errors?

[edgy nest]

bot.slash_command is on discord.Bot and commands.Bot but not discord.Client

[daring valve]

Really odd tbh
Maybe your hinter is old or broken

[wind crypt]

i thought my bot was broken for a second

☠️

[willow turtle]

I have a werid situation with my /register command that writes user data to a json file. Specifically, I have a mobile user that whenever they register, the space in their display name gets removed entirely. When I (from desktop) use the same name with an extra space and the exact same register command, the entry contains the space. Is this some weird idiosyncracy of mobile/desktop versions? The circled user's display name is "Don Kush"

[lofty parcel]

?tag nojson

.

[willow turtle]

I'm very new to python in general, what do you mean? ditch json?

[lofty parcel]

you shouldnt use json as a database

[willow turtle]

Yeah I was reading a little on the quickstart guide about the different DBs earlier today. Do you have a suggestion on which to use for a complete novice?

[lofty parcel]

either mongo or sqlite

mongo works more like json

with dicts

[willow turtle]

Awesome, thanks friend glad someone got me on the right track before I got too in the weeds

[fiery stratus]

I'm looking to have a function, exit(), ran after my code is stopped, kinda like how signal() works in C. Does anyone know of a library I can use to do that?

I tried using atexit but it doesn't seem to work

[daring valve]

Why do you need that?
If you want to use functions before bot is stopped, you can subclass bot class and add your code to func close

[fiery stratus]

I have a list object that i need to serialize into a .json file after my bot has been stopped

[fiery stratus]

thanks! I'll do that

[shell radish]

are you using json as a database

or as a form of persistent storage

[fiery stratus]

no just need it to hold a list of like max 10 ints

should i use mysql for this or is that overkill?

[little cobalt]

I really like to use MongoDB

[shell radish]

nah, it's not overkill

[daring valve]

You can still use pickledb or Aiosqlite
They are file-based databases, so you can easily use them in your bot

pickeldb - nosql key-value database (basically a dict)
Aiosqlite- sql file database

[little cobalt]

Aiosqlite*

[daring valve]

yeah

[shell radish]

wait but doesn't pickledb be potentially unsafe if you're not in full control of the data being stored

[fiery stratus]

what if I just want to serialize and deserialize a single list object

[daring valve]

pickledb

[shell radish]

but it can execute arbitrary code when loading pickled data, no?

[daring valve]

iirc pickledb doesn't allow you to serialize python functions and stuff like that
It has a lot of limits and uses pickle just to serialize json like objects into a file

It's just json into file, but with better handling

[shell radish]

hmm

[daring valve]

pickleDB is lightweight, fast, and simple database based on Python’s own json module. And it’s BSD licensed!
From pickledb pypi

[slender lantern]

pickleDB got its name from Python's "pickle" module, which it used to use. However, now pickleDB uses the "simplejson" module. It is faster and cleaner. But the name stuck!

[shell radish]

eh if you're doing this on bot close, async shouldn't matter

[daring valve]

pickleDB got its name from Python's "pickle" module, which it previously used. However, now pickleDB uses the "json" module. It is faster and cleaner. But the name stuck!
From website (they probably changed that)
So yeah
I don't think it's even possible to save python functions and non-basic objects into a file

[slender lantern]

Doesn’t sound like it, no

[shell radish]

tbh just use what you're comfortable with, just not json

[sweet gale]

https://i.imgur.com/aKNlXsi.png

what this last line means? 👀

if I use on_command_error listener somewhere in code, and ask it to send to a specific channel... it will work na?

[shell radish]

you can create command-specific error handlers with

@<command_name>.error

if that is present, then on_command_error will not fire for that command

[sweet gale]

if I want to create a single listener for all commands, like it gets triggered for any command error than happens?

[shell radish]

yes

[sweet gale]

and then make it do something specific

[sweet gale]

then I have to use

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx: bridge.BridgeContext, exception):
  """
  here goes whatever I want to do
  """
  await bot.get_channel(12345678901234).send(exception + f"\n was raised during handling a command")

right?

this is my basic idea, pls guide if I am wrong

[subtle moth]

I'd recommend you to save data using the user id as the key instead of the username though

[willow turtle]

Yeah, I was coming to this realization too, i was running into walls creating a gift command that users could refer to other users by nickname to transfer currency, i think i need to plan things out a touch more too

[upper flint]

What's the point of passing description to the command group if you can't see it anyways?

math = bot.create_group("math", "math commands")

@math.command()
async def add(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, a: int, b: int):
    await ctx.respond(f"This is equal to: **{a + b}**")

@math.command()
async def subtract(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, a: int, b: int):
    await ctx.respond(f"This is equal to: **{a - b}**")

[sweet gale]

@math.command()
async def add(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, a: int, b: int):
  """This is the command description for add command"""
  await ctx.respond(f"This is equal to: **{a + b}**")

for subtract too in similar way

[upper flint]

Yes, it will indeed set the description for the subcommands. But what is the purpose of setting the description for the group if it is not shown anywhere. Sorry, didn't put the question right.

[fleet cedar]

There is no purpose iirc

Slash groups are just slash commands

That's why you can set the description

But the client won't show it anywhere

Or wait

Check the command perms settings in guild settings

[upper flint]

Oh! Haha, I see it now

Thanks. Now I know

[fleet cedar]

Ayye now I know too

It was a random guess 😂

[dusk flume]

I have defined this in my main.py file:

import configparser
scores = configparser.ConfigParser()
scores.read("scores.ini")
@Bot.event
async def on_interaction(interaction):
    global scores
    if interaction.custom_id == "clicked":
        await interaction.response.defer()
        user_id = str(interaction.user.id)
        server_id = str(interaction.guild_id)

        if server_id not in scores.sections():
            scores.add_section(server_id)

        user_scores = scores[server_id]
        clicks = int(user_scores.get(user_id, 0)) + 1
        user_scores[user_id] = str(clicks)

        if clicks == 1 and interaction.user.id != Bot.user.id:
            await interaction.followup.send(
                "🎊 WOHOO! You clicked the button once. 🎊 I'll let you know how you're doing every 🔟 clicks",
                ephemeral=True,
            )

        if clicks % 10 == 0 and interaction.user.id != Bot.user.id:
            await interaction.followup.send(
                f"You have clicked the button {clicks} times!", ephemeral=True
            )

        with open("scores.ini", "w") as file:
            scores.write(file)
    else:
        pass

How can i make any other interactions just run the code in their cog.

[fleet cedar]

Why are you using that event?

You should use callbacks for buttons

.guide

[sly karma]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[rugged lodge]

Here's the counter example.

[fleet cedar]

Smth like that

[dusk flume]

i need it to work even after the bot restarts

[fleet cedar]

You can still do that with callbacks

[dusk flume]

how?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the persistent example.

[dusk flume]

i looked at that, im kinda confused

is theira simpler way of doing it?

[fleet cedar]

Set custom id in the button decorator and set timeout to None in the view

I mean that's pretty simple

[dusk flume]

one sec

[fleet cedar]

Can you show the view class if you have made any

[dusk flume]

how to set view timeout to none

[dusk flume]

button = discord.ui.Button(label="Click ME!", emoji=":sos:", custom_id="clicked")
        view = discord.ui.View()
        view.add_item(button)
        message = await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)```

[fleet cedar]

It is a parameter in the View init

timeout=None

[dusk flume]

so what would i change?

view = discord.ui.View:Timeout=None()?

idk lol

[fleet cedar]

Ah. If possible, make a View subclass. That makes persistent views much easier

[dusk flume]

wdym by that. I dont really use views that often

[fleet cedar]

It's just the same way you pass intents or command prefix to Bot

I'll let you figure it on your own

[dusk flume]

view = discord.ui.View(Timeout=None)??

[fleet cedar]

Yes

[dusk flume]

ty so much!

[fleet cedar]

Just timeout T lowercase

[dusk flume]

ok

so when my bot restarts, the button will still work?

the interaction is still failing

[fleet cedar]

So you can create a view subclass like so

class MyView(discord.ui.View)
  @discord.ui.button(label="smth", ...)
  async def my_button(self, button, interaction):
    # your code goes here
    # the logic and responses etc

    # the button parameter will let you modify stuff like label etc
    # the interaction parameter will allow you to respond n stuff

[dusk flume]

oh thats cool

ill try that

[fleet cedar]

You can then send your view like this

view = MyView(timeout=None)
await ctx.send(view=view)

And to make this persistent

[dusk flume]

so do i do view=MyView

[fleet cedar]

You need to setup an on_ready listener and do

view = MyView(timeout=None)
bot.add_view(view)

[fleet cedar]

In the ctx.send?

[dusk flume]

yep

ohh like that

cool

[fleet cedar]

Yes you can. Make sure to pass an object of the class and not the class itself

- await ctx.send(view=MyView)
+ await ctx.send(view=MyView())

[dusk flume]

yep! thanks so much

[fleet cedar]

Np!!

[dusk flume]

would i define MyView inside my cog?

class ClickButton(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        


    
    class MyView(discord.ui.View):```

[velvet sail]

is it possible to find who pinned the message returned by discord.on_message_edit(before, after)? (https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/events.html#discord.on_message_edit)
(assuming the edit event was a message pin)

if i wanted to find who pinned what, should i use .on_message_edit?

[fleet cedar]

nope. preferably outside the cog

[dusk flume]

ok

[fleet cedar]

from what i remember, pinning a message sends another message stating "xyz pinned a message" or something

you can check that message

message.type for it would be https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/enums.html#discord.MessageType.pins_add

you might find the user in message.mentions

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Message.mentions

[velvet sail]

thank you ORZ

[little cobalt]

Orz?

[fleet cedar]

😂

[tawdry bluff]

is there a way to make on_message event handler in a cog only run when a message is sent in certain channels? currently i just return if it was sent in some other channel

[fleet cedar]

return if wrong channel is the only way

[tawdry bluff]

damn ok

is that inefficient

or is it kind of negligible

[fleet cedar]

negligible. even if it there was some "built-in" way to filter out the channels, it would have been the same working

so dont worry about the thing

[atomic fern]

what is this? I'm trying to change a role icon using a link of the image, or i can't?

[atomic fern]

yes

nvm fixed using aiohttp

ohhk

i will try tht

[atomic fern]

or commands.errors.BadArgument

[boreal rain]

howw do i get mentions working in an embed

[little cobalt]

What do you mean with getting it working?

[boreal rain]

like its displayed as @boreal rain

instead of @halcyon vault

the raww numbers

[little cobalt]

that is a client error

not a bot error

[fleet cedar]

you cant. discord client renders it. it needs to be cached in the user's client

[boreal rain]

hmm alright thanks

[tawdry bluff]

how do you make it such that a bot response is only shown to the user? is there an annotation somewhere

[little cobalt]

?tag ephemeral

[limber wagon]

An 'ephemeral' message is one that's only visible to the person who invoked a command. If you ever got a command error with a blue background, this is an example of one.

To do this, set ephemeral=True when you first use an ApplicationContext. (This includes .defer()ing it; the choice of whether a message is ephemeral or not must be made up front. If you .respond() to a deferred message, setting the ephemeral flag at that time will have no effect.)

This is the equivalent of hidden=True if you're coming from interactions.py

e.g.

await ctx.respond("Imagine a message!", ephemeral = True)

await interaction.response.send_message("Imagine a message!", ephemeral = True)

[tawdry bluff]

ooh i see thank you

[open gust]

is there a built-in way to edit and not overwrite permissions ?
e.g. channel.set_permissions(m, connect=False) will reset any other permissions that m already had

[deft kestrel]

how would i make a slash AND normal command? as rn i use bot.slash_command, but i would like those commands to also be able to be used with a prefix.

any way to do so?

thank u 🙂

[deft kestrel]

are there perhaps any examples of this being used somewhere?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the bridge commands example.

[deft kestrel]

@fringe drum can i still use bot.slash_command if i transform my bot to bot = bridge.bot?

like does it change anything other then allowing bridge commands to be used?

[fringe drum]

if you want both prefix and slash commands you will need to change to @bot.bridge_command()

[shell radish]

no, it doesn't

[deft kestrel]

ye but i dont want to use that everywhere. just on some places. do i need to change my bot = commands.bot to bridge.bot? or can i keep it commands.bot + if i do switch would that change anything on my current bot.slash_command setup?

[shell radish]

You can still keep your current setup

[deft kestrel]

ah okay thank u

@bot.bridge_command()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'bridge_command'. Did you mean: 'message_command'?

@shell radish

so guess change to bridge.bot?

[shell radish]

yeah, changing to bridge.Bot is the only change you would need to make

[dusk flume]

Someone helped me yesterday. I tried to make a persistant view. Its not working, heres my code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands


class PersistentView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(
        label="Green",
        style=discord.ButtonStyle.green,
        custom_id="persistent_view:green",
    )
    async def green(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("This is green.", ephemeral=True)


class Test(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.slash_command()
    async def test(self, ctx):
        await ctx.respond("test", view=PersistentView())


def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Test(bot))

i want it to continue to work after the bot restarts however it says this interaction failed

[shell radish]

You didn’t add the view to the bot object

[dusk flume]

So what would i do instead?

to make the button work even after the bot restarts

😄

[shell radish]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons#persistent-views

[dusk flume]

your a hero. I have had this issue for the past 2 days. if anyone needs a cog slash command version, here it is:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None) # timeout of the view must be set to None

    @discord.ui.button(label="A button", custom_id="button-1", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="😎") # the button has a custom_id set
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Button was pressed", ephemeral=True)

class Test(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

            
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self, ):
        self.bot.add_view(MyView()) # Registers a View for persistent listening



    @commands.slash_command()
    async def button(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send(f"Press the button! View persistence status: {MyView.is_persistent(MyView())}", view=MyView())


def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Test(bot))

[valid panther]

I have looked at the example in the documentation but I get the warning in the .predicate

[cyan violet]

Is it possible to do in pycord that if I use Option: discord.TextChannel that only certain selected channels that I want to be displayed? And not all channels that exist

[lost ocean]

how to set timeout for modal dialogues?

(slash)\

[valid panther]

yes

[valid panther]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/modal-dialogs

[cyan violet]

how?

[valid panther]

make a list of all channels and then exclude what you want.

[cyan violet]

so like data = ["<#CHANNEL1>, <#CHANNEL2>"] ?

and then choices=data?

[valid panther]

I don't know what you want to do in general either

[lost ocean]

bro

there's no tiemout ni there

why else would i come here

[lost ocean]

yeah suer

that's possible

make a list

[cyan violet]

Okay

But the List on the top of the code right ?

Or in the command?

[lost ocean]

um

are u doing slash

or prefixed command

[cyan violet]

Slash

[lost ocean]

theres a thing for rthat

search the docs

its like u can only choose an option

from a certain list of things

and it shows that list while choosing the option

[cyan violet]

Okay

Maybe you have link?

[lost ocean]

ah lemme see

in Option() itself

thers this parameter called autocomplete

so it'll be like

Option(autocomplete=channels)

async def channels(self, ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
  return [LIST OF CHANNELS]

# some command
...
async def foo(self, ctx, a:Option(autocomplete=channels)```

Is there an estimated release date for 2.5 at this point, or a list of breaking changes in master that would need to get accounted for? (If I don't have any pre-existing code, can I just pull master and start working with it?)

I've tried to flip through the FAQs and search through here, and the most recent update I can see about it is someone asking about a month ago and being answered "soon / when it's ready" - which is completely fine, I just couldn't find anywhere that had some kind of update on that.

[round heart]

To get discord.User autocomplete in slash commands, does it need additional perms?

I am using

discord.Option(name="assignee", required=False, type=discord.Member)
``` But it's not actually doing anything

[little cobalt]

what?

[round heart]

What's not clear? I have a slash command that I want to use user-based autocomplete, which I am pretty sure is a thing.

[little cobalt]

discord.Member would return already a member object

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Member

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.User

take a look at both

[round heart]

Not sure I understand where you're going with this.

You can have an Option of discord.Role and it will autocomplete Roles. There is one for Users and/or Members. I just want that.

[little cobalt]

Use discord.Member because it got way more informations

[wary wyvern]

Is there a way to access a user's selected option (select menus) from an interaction?

[round heart]

As you can see, I'm already using discord.Member

It needs to be an Option though beacuse it's not a required field.

[little cobalt]

you added required=False right?

[round heart]

Not to be rude, but did you not see the code I posted? It literally says required=False in it 😕

[little cobalt]

yea, so it would be already optional

or do you want to have role and member in one?

[round heart]

Okay, the point is that the users are not being autocompleted. Hence my question of whether there are other permissions that need enabling. I added User Intents, but that didn't seem to fix it

[shell radish]

what type of interaction?

[little cobalt]

that is weird

with member intents it should work

[wary wyvern]

select menu

[shell radish]

you don't even need members intents for it to work

[round heart]

Views I have are accessing self.values for that.

[round heart]

Hm. Any other thoughts as to what the issue could be? It's just acting like a text field

[little cobalt]

You need intents for it

[shell radish]

no you don't

[little cobalt]

I tested it and I cannot get all the users

I see only 2 users and there are way more at the server

[round heart]

Doesn't it only get users that are in the current channel?

[little cobalt]

I have 10 users at the channel and can only see 2

or discord is just glitching again?

[shell radish]

try commenting out the command, running the bot, uncommenting out the command, and running the bot

maybe the command is de-synced from discord

[little cobalt]

I remember the time where it took 1h for a global slash command x3

[round heart]

Yeah that was going to be my next try; adding debug guilds

[shell radish]

not really any point since global application commands register instantly

[little cobalt]

I also dont use debug guilds anymore

[wary wyvern]

seems like interaction.data.values contains what I want but I don't know how to access the option's string

[shell radish]

which option string? From slash commands, or?

[wary wyvern]

from select menu

I want the string of the option the user selects

[shell radish]

What does your select menu callback look like?

[wary wyvern]

I want to access it through on_interaction because the callback doesnt work after restart

[round heart]

Sadly not. I commented it out, confirmed it was gone, then re-implemented and it's still not showing correctly.

@subcommand.command(name="list", description="...")
async def task_list(
    ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
    search: discord.Option(name="search", description="", required=False, type=str),
    assignee: discord.Option(name="assignee", description="User to view", required=False, type=discord.Member)
):

[rugged lodge]

Here's the persistent example.

[sweet gale]

how can I add aliases to a bridge command?

[shell radish]

@wary wyvern for views to work after restart

[little cobalt]

aliases=["text"]

[sweet gale]

like the user can do any of these:

@sweet gale play

@sweet gale p

!play

!p

/play

[shell radish]

I think it's input_type, not type

yeah https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.Option.input_type

[sweet gale]

will it work for bridge commands?

[wary wyvern]

oh thanks

[sweet gale]

and does slash command support aliases or smthing?

[shell radish]

no

[little cobalt]

only prefix commands support aliases

[sweet gale]

yea, that's why I wondered. bridge commands will support aliases?

[little cobalt]

But it should work at bride commands

[sweet gale]

oh, where exactly I have to add this then?

[shell radish]

bridge commands support aliases to the extent that text-based commands support aliases

[sweet gale]

ohkk, Thanks for all the info :)

[shell radish]

@bot.command(..., aliases = ["foo"])

bridge is cut off here because I thought that was obvious

and cogs equivalent

[sweet gale]

also I wondered if I could ask my wavelink related doubts here coz the official server mods' most of the time say that "we don't support py-cord, so can't help"

👀

[shell radish]

depends on the type of problem

[round heart]

Oh I see it's the first positional argument.

And also, it needs to be discord.User. I couldn't get it to work with discord.Member. Thanks for the sanity check!

(Related but unrelated, I hope they allow autocomplete filters on User selection someday)

[round heart]

Actually, sorry. One more weird issue - if I submit the command with a target user, something breaks in the core

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../discord/commands/core.py", line 124, in wrapped
    ret = await coro(arg)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File ".../discord/commands/core.py", line 894, in _invoke
    arg = ctx.guild._get_and_update_member(_data, int(arg), cache_flag)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '_get_and_update_member'

I've never seen this before. Don't get why it would be a NoneType.

[shell radish]

hmm

does it always break

[round heart]

In this app, yes.

(My main app has a couple of autocompletes and has never seen this issue)

Just as a spitball, I'm going to try member intent. I know it's not supposed to care, but it is one difference between the two bots. (Edit: No change, of course)

Strange. ctx.guild is indeed None after being invoked.

The Context knows everything else - author, channel (as a PartialMessagable), channel_id

And knows the selection. It's not having trouble resolving it. It's literally just the fact that it somehow doesn't know where it is 😅

It knows the guild_id (ctx.guild_id), but ctx.guild is None and ctx.bot.guilds is empty. tf

So I guess the new question is: What situation causes a bot to not know what guild(s) it's even in?

how would i display a decline trade button on this embed too?

[shell radish]

views can have multiple buttons

[daring grove]

how would i do that here?

[shell radish]

depends on the code for AcceptTrade

[daring grove]

its the same as decline trade

[shell radish]

you're supposed to combine them into a single view object/class

[daring grove]

ah okay

thanks

like this?

[shell radish]

almost, they shouldn't both be called button_callback

personally, I would use accept_callback and decline_callback

but they can be basically anything

[daring grove]

ah okay

maybe that's why only the decline button shows

thanks

[shell radish]

no, that's exactly why only the decline button shows

[daring grove]

hm?

[shell radish]

if both are called button_callback then the second button overrides the value of button_callback

[daring grove]

yeah so only the decline button shows

[shell radish]

you said "maybe," I'm asserting that is exactly why

[daring grove]

how might i find who clicks the button?

Restarting the question about this. It seems like a Pycord assumptions bug, but I also don't know if it is valid that Discord itself doesn't know what Guild a responding bot is part of.

[cursive leaf]

whats the best way to take in a list of mentionables of variable length in a slash_command Option()

[shell radish]

two ways, multiple options or a really long string and convert it yourself

[cursive leaf]

long string it is then

alr

async def get_mentions(content):
  mentions = []
  for x in content.split(" "):
    if x.startswith("<@") and x.endswith(">"):
      mentions.append(x[2:-1])
  return mentions
``` copilot just cooked this up without me even saying what i wanted lmaooo

dont think it works tho lol

[daring grove]

how would i get a list of the roles of this person?

ive tried interaction.user.roles but it doesnt seem to work

[little cobalt]

that should work

Do you have intents?

[daring grove]

yeah

[little cobalt]

which one?

[daring grove]

im trying to do this

is there anything wrong with this?

rolewantmanager = "Man City"

[little cobalt]

do you even get a list at interaction.user.roles?

[daring grove]

I do

It was originally ['Man City']

actually hold on

This is what I get

hm

[cursive leaf]

trying to take in a string from a slash_command Option parameter, but as soon as i have a @mention in that string its somehow = "" and hence prints nothing

    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip.

    If you wish to install a non-Arch packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have python-pipx
    installed via pacman.

how would i add a role after a button press to someone from a different command?

i want to use this 'offer' elsewhere essentially

[little cobalt]

store the user id and create a member object at the button and give the user the role

[daring grove]

why is this not timing out after 10 seconds?

[little cobalt]

you also have to edit it

[daring grove]

ah okay thanks

[daring grove]

yep i already got it

[tawdry bluff]

when you use @commands.guild_only() the slash command is still able to be used in dms (it just shows that the bot did not respond and throws an error about how it's not allowed to be used in dms); is there a way to not have it show as a command in dms, or at least make it unselectable, or show a more descriptive error message?

[little cobalt]

only if you would add the guild ids

is the bot for a privat server or a public bot?

[tawdry bluff]

public

[shell radish]

that's because it should be @discord.guild_only()

[tawdry bluff]

oh, even in cogs?

[shell radish]

yes

[tawdry bluff]

okay tq!

[wind crypt]

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? i just copied some random slash command and the response will send but not the actual interaction

[little cobalt]

ctx.respond and not ctx.send

[wind crypt]

oh my god im so dumb thats embarassing

thank u stranger <3

another (probably) dumb question but i made this payment method-ish command to help me receive payments but when i press anything other than the x, it fails. but when i press the x it works perfectly fine

[lofty parcel]

Your other buttons don't have a callback?...

[wind crypt]

yep just realized

sorry about that

😭

[velvet sail]

sorry for the late reply- thank you
i didn't read the cache part before i asked
