Basic Pycord Help

[sour flint]

I see most bots have a slash command name with a space is it possible in pycord? if so how

like this

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash groups example.

thank you

[subtle moth]

does pycord have anything equivalent to discord.py's discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook function?

Where can I find the stuff like joined_at, created_at etc.

[shell radish]

It’s right there

[daring grove]

what requirements would I need to put in requirements.txt to make sure this doesnt happen?

[heavy sky]

py-cord

[daring grove]

like this?

[heavy sky]

And make sure that discord.py is uninstalled

[daring grove]

ah

that does make sense

[grim estuary]

Hello. How to place several embeds at once in one message?

Did it work?

[grim estuary]

Yes

[grim estuary]

How to access the everyone role?

[little cobalt]

Why?

[grim estuary]

I need to assign permissions to the everyone role

[grim estuary]

Is it possible to make some kind of cooldown when pressing a button?

[bitter meteor]

how do i see the id of user who pressed the button?

[little cobalt]

interaction.user.id

[bitter meteor]

thanks

and how do i put parameter in view?

[glossy latch]

hey who can help me ?

[heavy sky]

Are you getting any errors?

And what doesn't work with it?

@heavy sky

[heavy sky]

Just as the error says, you need to provide a sink object to start_recording(). Instead of just passing sink, you can pass discord.sinks.WaveSink

Also, take a look at the audio receiving example:

[rugged lodge]

Here's the audio recording example.

[heavy sky]

To use MP3 you can also use discord.sinks.MP3Sink

hey I have a button that should send a paginator. The button is created in side a class. I get TypeError: Paginator.send() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx' I was wondering what context I need to put as an argument

[glossy latch]

Okey thnx

i have this view what is the line of code that disables specific button ?

[heavy sky]

If you want to disable button 1 for example on click, you can just add button1.disabled = True

[grim estuary]

How to send second message via interaction.response.send_message?

[heavy sky]

You can use interaction.followup.send

[plush escarp]

?

[grim estuary]

Thank you

If I create this group of commands only the owner of the bot will be able to use them, but will the command be visible to all users?

what context do I need to put in Paginator.send

it doesnt let me send it without context

[lofty parcel]

The command context

[plush escarp]

but I am sending it through a button class

[lofty parcel]

Then the interaction

And you'd use paginator.respond

[round heart]

Anyone using mypy? I've never used it before, but the primary author on a bot we're working on is, and seeing a bunch of weird errors about discord.Option for slash commands:

use discord.Option[...] instead of discord.Option(...)

For this reason, he wants to move to decorators for slash commands ... which I think are super-unreadable, so I'm trying to avoid it 🙂 -- Anyone know why mypy is whining about instantiating a the Option class? Why would it suggest braces?

[little cobalt]

I use @discord.option()the whole time

[round heart]

decorators for function calls are much more difficult to read for me, so I'm hoping to keep function definition if possible.

But anyway, still trying to understand why mypy would complain about instantiating a class.

[little cobalt]

@fleet cedar havent you tried mypy?

[plush escarp]

is it possible to send a modal through a modal?

like when one modal is completed it opens a new one

[bitter meteor]

Ty

[fleet cedar]

Nope. Lol

[fickle salmon]

No, you need to send a view with a button that opens another modal

nah

it's supposed to be binary-like

perfect I just used io.StringIO() and it worked ! Thank you ! 🤩

[grim estuary]

I gave the exact path, changed "messagable" to "ctx" and it worked. Thank you!

[grim estuary]

Whyyy

[daring valve]

You use somewhere tabs and somewhere 4 spaces
Use ide to automatically convert tabs to spaces or spaces to tabs
It's python thing and tbh I don't know why it works like that

¯_(ツ)_/¯

probably parser thing

[grim estuary]

Oh

This is to check every new line

[upper hearth]

any way to see how many boosts a user has given?

or can i only check for booster role to see if they've boosted at all

[fiery stratus]

hey so i'm doing UI stuff and am getting this error (see attached 1). This error comes from this statement (see attached 2).

the thing is my PollSelect class inherits from discord.ui.View, which has a children attribute, and self.select inherits fromdiscord.ui.Item, so I don't understand why this is erroring.

[lofty parcel]

Relevant code would be useful

[fiery stratus]

oh yeah sorry

[shell radish]

you never initiated the parent class

[fiery stratus]

🤦‍♂️

sorry abt that

[shell radish]

no worries

[fiery stratus]

its been a while since i've programmed in an oop language

[wary wyvern]

Is there a way for deselecting the selected item in select menus?

[shell radish]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.Select.options
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.Select.values
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.SelectOption.default

[wary wyvern]

Can you explain what should I do with these? I have already set the options and there is no default option. I want the selected option to be deselected after the user has selected it

[shell radish]

if the option is selected, SelectOption.default would be true

iirc

[wary wyvern]

It's not selected by default

I mean like in the callback of the select menu I want to reset it somehow

[shell radish]

.

Not by default, even by the user

[wary wyvern]

Ok

[shell radish]

but if that's not true, you can "clone" the select menu and send that instead

[drifting turtle]

the answer is no

i still dont know why there isn't something like that. setting things up during an on_ready event call is dangerous since it is not guaranteed to be called once

[shell radish]

There is @client.once basically @client.event, but only called once. This is only on master branch at the moment.

[drifting turtle]

check_once

[round heart]

Isn't there a helper to resolve/extract mentionables in a string (so that they will simply print their string equivalents)? Or did I make that up in my head?

[shell radish]

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

[round heart]

There also seems to be raw_*_mentions(for users, channels, and roles).

[round heart]

Interesting. Can I stuff a string into a PartialMessage or something like that? The intent is to sanitize incoming text from a slash command option

[shell radish]

try checking the source code

and use that as a reference

[round heart]

Yeah. Just didn't want to reinvent the wheel (e.g. copy code) if I didn't have to, but will figure something out

[round heart]

Came up with this, but unsure if I'm overcomplicating

def clean_content(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, content: str) -> str:
    channel_mentions = re.finditer(discord_channel_re, content)
    for m in channel_mentions:
        if channel := ctx.bot.get_channel(int(m.group(1))):
            content = content.replace(m.group(0), f"#{channel.name}")
        else:
            content = content.replace(m.group(0), f"#{m.group(1)}")

    user_mentions = re.finditer(discord_id_re, content)
    for m in user_mentions:
        if user := ctx.bot.get_user(int(m.group(1))):
            content = content.replace(m.group(0), user.name)
        else:
            content = content.replace(m.group(0), "Unknown User")

    if ctx.guild:
        role_mentions = re.finditer(discord_role_re, content)
        for m in role_mentions:
            if role := ctx.guild.get_role(int(m.group(1))):
                content = content.replace(m.group(0), role.name)
            else:
                content = content.replace(m.group(0), "Unknown Role")
    
    return content

[round heart]

(...meh, it can't seem to get the channel by id)

Ah, I guess related to the issue of it not knowing what guild it's in.

[shell radish]

do you have guild intents?

[round heart]

Oh! The guild thing is fixed - it needed to be a "bot", not just have application commands. Once I added send message ability, it now knows where it is.

Initially, it simply had application.commands because that's really all it needed. I still expected it to know where invocation was coming from, though

[shell radish]

yeah, discord only gives you guild_id

[subtle moth]

I see, thanks

[brave ore]

why this demo can't display font color?

[civic fractal]

why does this pop up

[brave ore]

OK, I see. 😅

[fickle salmon]

Send your code

[oak musk]

Hi guys simple question are discord bots able to execute slash commands on other bots?

[plush escarp]

hey for some reason I don't have persistent view even tho I gave the button a custom id and set the view timeout to none

[lost ocean]

yoo

im working on modals

and for some reason even though they take in a response and save data from the modal,

the modal doesn't close and shoes something went wrong

everythings fine tho it just shows something went wrongf.

[lofty parcel]

No

[lofty parcel]

Do you add the view on on_ready?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the persistent example.

[lofty parcel]

Are you responding?

[lost ocean]

can't do that

says it has already been responded to..

are you talking about

interaction.response.send_message ?

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[lost ocean]

yea it shows an error

[lofty parcel]

Show code

[lost ocean]

because

i respond to it before

    @commands.guild_only()
    @commands.slash_command(
        name='createprofile',
        description='Create a profile for Team Revenant server',
        usage='/createprofile'
    )
    async def createprofile(self, ctx: ApplicationContext):
        await ctx.defer()

        data = retrieve_profile_data()

        if str(ctx.author.id) in data:
            return await ctx.respond("You already have a profile!\n`/profile` to view it.")
        
        class ProfileButtonView(discord.ui.View):
            @discord.ui.button(label="Create Profile")
            async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
                await interaction.response.send_modal(ProfileModal(title="Profile Form", timeout=15))
                button.disabled = True
                await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

        await ctx.respond("Please answer the modal within 15s", view=ProfileButtonView(timeout=15))```

[plush escarp]

on ready of the bot.event?

[lofty parcel]

Move your view outside the command for everyone's sake.
And it's saying you already responded because you're sending the button and then trying to edit the message with response.edit_message

You should use interaction.edit_original_response

[lost ocean]

ah

[lofty parcel]

Or a listener

[lost ocean]

ill fix the view later

it triggers me too

but i want to get the basic down first so

[lost ocean]

still shows thsi error

like its submitted

data has been filled in the file

but it still shows this

[lofty parcel]

Modal code

[little cobalt]

Do you respond to the modal?

        embed.set_thumbnail(url=interaction.user.avatar)
        await interaction.channel.send(embed=embed)```

[lost ocean]

if i respond to it well then

the button wont be disabled

and wont it clash with my button response

[lofty parcel]

Why interaction.channel.send

[little cobalt]

You are not responding the modal

[lofty parcel]

Interaction.response.send_message

[little cobalt]

Or interaction.response.edit_message

[lost ocean]

ty

idk i tried it before

thanks tho

[plush escarp]

I get the following error when I try to click a button that sends a paginator:

  File "c:\Users\Falco\Desktop\SneakerbotMain\bots\discord\pycord\discord\ext\pages\pagination.py", line 1176, in respond

    raise NotFound(response, data)
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction ```

[plush escarp]

I saw that response has to be up to 3 seconds, and follow up can be up to 15 minutes. how do I follow up with a paginator?

[fleet cedar]

why are you doing await Paginator.respond(paginator, ...) 😭

you could do await paginator.respond(...)

thats basic python oop yk

[round heart]

Can Converters be used with slash command options?

[fleet cedar]

just defer the interaction first. the library will handle the followup

[fleet cedar]

yes

pass the converter parameter (undocumented iirc)

[round heart]

Oooh. So you wouldn’t change the type, just add the kwarg. Thanks

[fleet cedar]

np

or wait

you probrably pass the converter as the type

💀

let me check

ok yes you pass the converter to the input type

sorry

@round heart ^

[round heart]

Hah okay, that makes it more consistent. Appreciate the follow up

[grim estuary]

Hello. I understand that cooldown is best done through timestamp?

[hybrid fossil]

Hi!
Question, how do I get button and interaction in the callback?

class Button(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self):

        super().__init__(
            label="-",
            style=discord.ButtonStyle.red,
            custom_id="callButton",
            row=1
        )

    async def callback(self, interaction):
        ...

[shell radish]

self is the button

[lofty parcel]

And that's why learning OOP is important kids

[fleet cedar]

Can't tell without more context

[shell radish]

so you're using types without type-hinting. great

[fleet cedar]

Self doesn't need to be typehinted tho

[grim estuary]

I want to create a cooldown for commands and individual buttons. Would it be efficient to use datetime with timestamp?

[fleet cedar]

For commands you could use the built in cooldown handler

You can also reuse the built in stuff for buttons with some setup

[hybrid fossil]

In all your examples, the callback has the button parameter. I separate my buttons from my views and I've had this problem for a while. I made a mistake but I'm trying to figure out how to fix it.

[fleet cedar]

Only if you use a db as an intermediary, timestamp is useful

[shell radish]

self is the button

in your case

[hybrid fossil]

ahhh!

Self in the other case is the view, I'm stupid.

[fleet cedar]

When subclassing Button, self is the button

When subclassing View, self is the view 🙃

[shell radish]

hi, stupid, I'm squid

[hybrid fossil]

Grrrr
That doesn't change the fact that I can't disable it.

[shell radish]

you have to edit the message with the updated view after disabling it

[fleet cedar]

Try interaction.response.edit_message

[grim estuary]

Is it better to use built-in cooldown or a db with timestamp?

[fleet cedar]

Built in cooldown is easy and customisable upto a large extent

[grim estuary]

I will try, thank you

[grim estuary]

How can I check that the entered member is a member? Should I resort to throwing a command error or using try-except?

[little cobalt]

if not member.bot:

[grim estuary]

I need to add an answer to if anything is entered instead of a participant

[lofty parcel]

Just return a response?

[grim estuary]

I need to take into account several options for incorrect answers:

• Whether the entered data is a member
• Is there a member on the server
• Is the member a bot (this is what i decided)

Is there any way to check the first one without resorting to error "trapping"?

[lofty parcel]

Like I said, just return a response

You're in a function

The return keyword doesn't execute anything below it

[grim estuary]

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand you. How can I check, for example, "aaaaa" and "deodjdn" are not users without catching errors?

[lofty parcel]

You should already be typehinting discord.Member and the library does the check for you (if text commands) and throws an error.

[grim estuary]

Is catching errors a normal practice?

[lofty parcel]

Yes... you should catch errors

You have to tell the user something went wrong. Or catch appropriate errors to handle the behaviour

[grim estuary]

I've always tried to avoid using error, considering all possible variations in the code but when I have to work with library models, I don't understand how to deal with the problem

🤷

[plush escarp]

I have a question that is for pymongo and not pycord

how do I find the last inserted document? I tried

client[str(interaction.guild.id)].address_profile.find_one().sort({"_id": pymongo.DESCENDING})``` and

```py
client[str(interaction.guild.id)].address_profile.find_one().sort({"_id": -1})```
 but both dont seem to work and I get the error :

```TypeError: if no direction is specified, key_or_list must be an instance of list```

[fickle salmon]

Don't be afraid of try/except

[grim estuary]

Is it possible to somehow respond during the cooldown?

[upper spade]

is there anyway to create an invite to a voice channel@

in a way that like

bypasses permissions

so if someone doesnt have view & connect

but use the invite

they should br able to join

i thought this was already the case but apparently not

[fickle salmon]

There's a new feature that lets people join voice without being in the server but I'm pretty sure it has to be public

[upper spade]

yeah the guest thing

welp dreams ruined

[fickle salmon]

I don't believe you can bypass permissions with an invite, that wouldn't really make sense

You could have them join a public channel and have the bot move them to a private one

[upper spade]

it would tho

[upper spade]

the idea was to create private voice channels only joinable by the link

[fickle salmon]

You can do the whole "create your own VC" thing

[upper spade]

i already got that part its just that when testin w friends i realised they cant actually join

[fringe drum]

is there a way to know if the command completed is ephemeral with on_command_completion?

[pine yacht]

Is there a way to access/specify the data type that a converter returns? Would be useful for static type-checking, and making sure I'm getting what I expect.

[grim estuary]

How to send a response message if the command is in cooldown?

[little cobalt]

With an error handler

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling

[shell radish]

you're probably looking for on_application_command_completetion, but you can use
await ctx.interaction.original_response() to fetch the message. I will refer to this as response_message
response_message.flags.ephemeral would be what you are looking for

[shell radish]

specifically what type of convertor?

[fringe drum]

yeah i figured it was on_application_command_completetion after reading docs, will give this a go now. cheers!

[pine yacht]

I'm using these converters as part of a interactive input setup, for filling in forms that don't fit well in either command options (variable number of fields), or in modals (more than 5 fields).

What I'm working with:

class Context(discord.ApplicationContext):
    bot: "Bot"
    # --snip--
    async def text_input(
        self,
        body: str,
        title: Optional[str] = None,
        embed_style: EmbedStyle = EmbedStyle.QUESTION,
        converter: Optional[discord.ext.commands.Converter] = None,
    ):
        #--snip--
        coro = self.bot.wait_for(
            "message",
            check=lambda message: message.author == self.author
            and message.channel == self.channel,
        )
        await self.respond(embed=embed, view=CancelButtonView(coro))
        msg = await coro
        return converter.convert(ctx=self, argument=msg.content) if converter is not None else msg.content # type: ignore [arg-type]

[bitter meteor]

but what if on start?

[heavy sky]

Just pass disabled=True to discord.ui.button()

[pine yacht]

Can you override the checks for a group command, specifically to remove checks defined in the parent group? For example:

class ModCog(Cog):
    root = SlashCommandGroup('mod', checks=[required_staff_level(StaffLevel.mod)])
    @root.command()
    async def warn(self, ctx, target: Member):
        pass # Only mods should be able to run this command
    @root.command() # ???
    async def my_warnings(self, ctx):
        pass # Anyone should be able to run this command

[fleet cedar]

Nope. You should rather specify the checks only for the subcommands

[pine yacht]

OK. Guess I can just make my_warnings its own cmd...

[fleet cedar]

Yea haha

[sullen crane]

When do i deferenciate between use ctx and interaction in a cog

because sometimes using ctx is fine sometimes it isnt

[lofty parcel]

ctx for commands

Interaction for ui

[sullen crane]

ohh

ok

thanks

[bitter meteor]

[brave ore]

hi, how to set a error handler to all select_callback?

[placid sphinx]

Hi there, why should I choose Pycord over alternatives like discord.py or nextcord?

[shell radish]

Other than ext.pages and voice receiving, the implementation of application commands is different. Pick which ever one you like

[brave ore]

I chose Pycord for the guide pages 🙂 https://guide.pycord.dev/

Usually, there shouldn't be much difference in terms of usage for these three frameworks.

[atomic fern]

how to add description to bridge slash command option?

[fleet cedar]

just how you would to normal slash cmds

[placid sphinx]

@brave ore which one is the most actively maintained? I understand that Discord.py's development stopped for a long time, and resumed recently, so that's a concern.

[little cobalt]

You could test them if you work with an env

But may was saying after they switched from dpy to pycord, that pycord is way better and faster

[placid sphinx]

I'm asking about maintainability, which isn't something I can test myself 🙂

[little cobalt]

Pycord is currently kinda "finishes" I would say

[fleet cedar]

tbh, we are facing some issues with making pypi releases at the moment. the GitHub master branch is well maintained tho

[placid sphinx]

Thanks! What are the reasons to maintain Pycord as a fork, now that Discord.py returned to active development?

[hollow loom]

Do I need to run kill 1 while working on Replit at any point? (aka restart cloud PC)

[deft kestrel]

Does anyone know why my welcome message is being sent multiple times instead of just once?
here is the code :

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    welcome = client.get_channel(...)
    
    if (member.guild.id == ...):
        
        embed=discord.Embed(title="{}".format(member.guild.name), description="{}".format(member.mention), color=0xffffff)
        embed.set_image(url="...")
        embed.set_footer(text="{}".format(member.guild.name), icon_url="...")
        
        button = Button(label="...", url="...", emoji="📃")
        
        view = View()
        view.add_item(button)
        
        await welcome.send("|| {} ||".format(member.mention) ,embed=embed, view=view)
    else:
        pass

[atomic fern]

maybe you have other active terminal session that keeps running

that run the bot

[little cobalt]

is the same happening if you remove the () at the member.guild.id?

Also its getting triggert at every server, I had the same issue at the beginning

[deft kestrel]

there are no active terminal session I've checked

[deft kestrel]

it did not work

[grim estuary]

I want the bot to respond again to the buttons after the restart, which were available before the restart, but the class has arguments, so I don't know what to do

client.add_view(Name()) work if the class doesn't require arguments

[grim estuary]

What is it...

[shell radish]

internal server error

[shell radish]

then put arguments in there?

[grim estuary]

I don't know where to get them from in that place, they are local

[upper hearth]

    async for member in ctx.guild.fetch_members(limit=None):
        print(str(member.activity))```
why is this always `None`

[little cobalt]

do you have member intents?

[upper hearth]

yes

it works if i do ctx.author.activity aswell

[little cobalt]

Can you show it?

[little cobalt]

also at your bot?

[upper hearth]

wdym

[little cobalt]

where you define the bot

[little cobalt]

discord.Bot(intents=intents)

ok

weird

I get my activity

do you have it in a cog?

[upper hearth]

no

[upper hearth]

using ctx.author.activity?

[little cobalt]

member.activity

[upper hearth]

oh

yeah idk why it wont work when i want to get everyones activities

[little cobalt]

@client.slash_command()
async def test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, member: discord.Member):
    await ctx.respond(member.activity)

I was trying is like this ^

[upper hearth]

ill try that maybe its something else going wrong

cannot send an empty message

but i have a status

[little cobalt]

does the user even playing something?

[upper hearth]

if i did ctx.author.activity it sends my status rn

but using the command u sent

it says cant send an empty message

it should send sdfdss

so yes

sort of

[little cobalt]

I got this

[upper hearth]

lemme open something and see if it wants that

[little cobalt]

its not a status

[upper hearth]

wdym

my custom status

i set calculator as my game and now it shows me the status?

but why doesnt it show me when they dont have a game

[little cobalt]

Its a activity not a status x3

[upper hearth]

what do you mean

i want that

status

[little cobalt]

status would be something like "dnd"

or "online"

[lofty parcel]

Custom statuses are activities

[upper hearth]

yeah

[lofty parcel]

.rtfm activity.Custom

[sly karma]

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

[upper hearth]

i want the custom status

[little cobalt]

what is with the raw one?

[upper hearth]

well it works now when i do the member.activity but still not this

just lots of nones

[lofty parcel]

Are you sure discord.Activity has a to str method?..

Why don't you just use activity.name

[upper hearth]

because

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

[lofty parcel]

.rtfm Member.activity

[sly karma]

2 results

discord.Member.activity
discord.WidgetMember.activity

[lofty parcel]

And member.activities?

[little cobalt]

mhm

[upper hearth]

lots of ()

[lofty parcel]

At this point, it's an intents issue

Works perfectly fine for me

[upper hearth]

if it was intents wouldn't this not work either?

it also lets me use member.id but idk if you need intents for that

[upper hearth]

ah fixed it, apparently ctx.guild.fetch_members(limit=None) doesnt give activity data but ctx.guild.members does

yeah because it's defined at the __init__ scope

so what do i do?

oh i see now

i made one tab more

now it works, thank for pointing out

[bitter meteor]

            self.stop()```
but now how do i acces the data?

[shell radish]

what data

[bitter meteor]

board

[upper hearth]

@bot.command()
async def test2(ctx, id:int):
    guild = await bot.fetch_guild(id)
    print(guild.members)``` 
whys this giving me [] if i have the members intent

[bitter meteor]

what id do you give?

[upper hearth]

the id of my server

[daring valve]

is your bot on the server which you are trying to fetch?

[upper hearth]

yes

im doing the command in the server

[daring valve]

Do you have intents in your code and in discord devs portal?

[upper hearth]

yes

all of them

[daring valve]

In devs portal and passed as argument to your bot class?

[shell radish]

because the API doesn't provide that info

[upper hearth]

oh so theres no way to get it?

the thing im trying to make ive seen other bots do it so idk how they do it

[grim estuary]

Is it normal practice to make a regular command and its copy in slash commands?

[upper hearth]

isnt there a whole thing for that

like bridge commands

[rugged lodge]

Here's the bridge commands example.

[fleet cedar]

Not everyone likes the way dpy has implemented app cmds. And dpy doesn't have ext.pages, audio receiving etc

[grim estuary]

What is their essence?

[upper hearth]

idk how they work i just know they exist

[rugged lodge]

Here's the bridge commands example.

[fleet cedar]

Single cmd that is both, a slash cmd and prefix cmd

[daring grove]

I have this as a command, instead of returning it like this how would i just get the name of the role

this is my current code

[shell radish]

role_string = ""
for role in roles:
  role_string += role.name
await ctx.respond(role_string)

You can do this in one line, but I did it this way for clarity

[upper hearth]

wouldnt that put them in one long line with no spaces

[shell radish]

yeah that was something I was testing OP to do

[upper hearth]

oh ok

[fleet cedar]

That stuff rarely happens

[daring grove]

I just figured it out as you sent that message

thank you though!

[bitter meteor]

how do i get board in the middle of code

[shell radish]

probably an xy question. I think there is a better way to go about achieving this

?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.

[upper hearth]

why is this saying `idle` when im going offline

is that discord being weird

?

it triggers when it changes no?

if i go online -> offline it says i went online -> idle

[little cobalt]

Weird

Is it possible to send modal via command with prefix?

[fleet cedar]

Nope. Modals can only be sent as responses to interactions

[shell radish]

such as a message with a button

[grim estuary]

Time to learn slash_commands :]

Thank you

[little cobalt]

they are like the normal prefix commands

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash basic example.

[little cobalt]

@grim estuary check this out ^

[grim estuary]

Thank you. I can't find a parameter that will allow me to put a certain choice

• leaderboard
• by experience
• by level
• ...

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash options example.

I don't understand how to access the message without using `message` inside `View`

[fickle salmon]

You can pass in the message when you make the view

[grim estuary]

Unfortunately, I passed the message using ctx.message to View, but the error still appears

It started showing up after I changed the command to slash-command

[hazy turret]

Hello,

I would like to display only certain roles in an autocomplete (or is there also Choice?).
For this I have a list with the role ID's.
Now I want to check which role the user already has and then only all roles above this role should be displayed for him.
If he owns role 2, only all roles from role 3 should be displayed for him and be selectable.

Somehow I can't find a solution.
Here is my approach, maybe someone has an idea how I can implement this well?

Roles = [
    ROLE_1_ID,
    ROLE_2_ID,
    ROLE_3_ID,
    ROLE_4_ID,
    ROLE_5_ID,
    ROLE_6_ID,
]

    async def select_role_autocomplete(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        guild = self.bot.get_guild(GUILD_ID)
        # Liste der verfügbaren Rollen in aufsteigender Reihenfolge
        roles = [guild.get_role(role_id) for role_id in Roles]
        print(roles)


    @slash_command(
        name="promote_me",
        description="Promote",
    )
    @option(
        "role",
        description="Select",
        autocomplete=select_role_autocomplete,
        required=True,
    )
    async def promote_me(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, role: discord.Role):

[fleet cedar]

Slash cmds dont have ctx.message

Which pycord version are you using?

The library will handle view.message for you

[grim estuary]

Sorry, but how can I watch this?

[fickle salmon]

discord.__version__

[grim estuary]

v2.4.1

[hazy turret]

Does anyone have an idea how I can implement this? 🙂

[upper hearth]

@bot.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):
    print(after.status) # outputs idle
    member = await after.guild.fetch_member(int(after.id))
    print(member.status) # outputs offline```
im still confused if this is a bug or not but if i go on invisible/offline, `after.status` outputs `idle` which is wrong clearly
do i just have to do it the other way or am i doing something wrong

[torpid ivy]

Does it still take an amount of time for slash commands to become available or should they be available immediately?

[upper hearth]

you mean to show up when you type /

?

[fickle salmon]

I think the SLA is still an hour but they can show up faster

[hazy turret]

What am I doing wrong so that the appropriate roles are displayed in the autocomplete?

    async def select_role_autocomplete(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        guild = self.bot.get_guild(GUILD_ID)
        # Liste der verfügbaren Rollen in aufsteigender Reihenfolge
        roles = [guild.get_role(role_id) for role_id in Roles]
        print(roles)

        filtered_roles = []
        found_user_role = False

        for role in roles:
            if role in ctx.interaction.user.roles:
                found_user_role = True

            if found_user_role:
                filtered_roles.append(role)

        # Erstelle die Liste der Rollen für die Autocomplete-Antwort
        return [
            role for role in roles if role.name.lower().startswith(ctx.value.lower())
        ]

    @slash_command(
        name="promoteme",
        description="Promote.",
    )
    @option(
        name="role",
        description="Rolle",
        autocomplete=select_role_autocomplete,
        required=True,
    )
    async def promote_me(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, role: discord.Role):```

[torpid ivy]

yeah, but i actually am stupid and think i found the problem

the file with the code I was editing was in a different spot than the code i was running, lol. I was getting frustrated wondering why nothing was changing/working right!

[fleet cedar]

That loop logic is a little bonkers

[hazy turret]

I am always shown all roles from the server and not just the filtered ones from the function.
The print also does not come at all when I call the slash command.

[fleet cedar]

You can remove it and do return [role for role in roles if role in user.roles and role.name.lower()...]

[fleet cedar]

Discord caches the autocomplete value for some reason

So it doesn't fire every time

[shell radish]

no, they register immediately after Backend v2, which was like a year ago

[hazy turret]

I did it now but I still see all roles from the server.

    async def select_role_autocomplete(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        guild = self.bot.get_guild(GUILD_ID)
        user = ctx.interaction.user
        # Liste der verfügbaren Rollen in aufsteigender Reihenfolge
        roles = [guild.get_role(role_id) for role_id in Roles]
        print(roles)

        # Erstelle die Liste der Rollen für die Autocomplete-Antwort
        return [role for role in roles if role in user.roles and role.name.lower().startswith(ctx.value.lower())]```

It is correct that I specify here that it is about roles or is the error here?

async def promote_me(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, role: discord.Role):```

[fickle salmon]

I hate it when that happens

[torpid ivy]

i copied it to two places last night and for some reason opened one in vsc and the other in conda lol

now comes the fun part of converting my code from text commands to slash commands. so many places i have to replace "ctx.message" properly

wasn't there some secondary decorator you can use along with @bot.command() to limit the channels/servers the command shows up in (or can be used in)

[fickle salmon]

guild_ids

As an arg

[torpid ivy]

ooh nice, easy enough

[fickle salmon]

There's also permissions you can limit it to, but I don't think there's a decorator for channels

[torpid ivy]

hmmm

i WAS running a block like this

i can probably just include that for the channel thing

slash command ctx still use "author"? like if i wanna pull the nick/id of the user it'd be ctx.author.id and ctx.author.display_name?

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[torpid ivy]

nice

so most of this is probably just going to be me deleting .message from a bunch of strings :D

[lofty parcel]

Search and replace

[torpid ivy]

naw i'm doing it by hand so i dont miss oddball cases

i prolly should rewrite this and use cogs or something, since that seems to be the organizational structure provided lol

but like ctx.channel.send(embed) will still work, right

Sorry I'm just trying to double check a few things as I go to make sure its gonna work as expected (or not)

[fickle salmon]

You should definitely use cogs

Even if you throw everything in one cog

Having it in a class, with self, and instance variables instead of using global... Highly recommend

[upper hearth]

after.status says idle instead of offline for only certain people why is it being weird.

i thought it was everyone but ive seen it say offline for 2 pepole now

[lofty parcel]

Ask discord

[wind crypt]

probably a dumb question but im new to coding n idk why this error is popping up

[little cobalt]

ctx.respond()

[wind crypt]

is there any specific reason why its that or is it just basic

[little cobalt]

Its just basic

[fickle salmon]

You're responding to an interaction, not replying to a message

[torpid ivy]

yeah I may do a whole rewrite of it

I dont fully understand cogs so i gotta figure out what they are even lol

right now my bot is basically a list of commands and then also functions that create embeds, and then a few files of settings/functions that get imported into the main file

does use a bunch of global vars though. like, it's a game with a timer, and I abuse dictionaries for everything

like game_is_active[server_id] = True/False

[fickle salmon]

Love dictionary abuse

[torpid ivy]

i use dicts for everything

they are beautiful

[fickle salmon]

💯

At least until you want to actually start persisting state

[torpid ivy]

and yeah, def lol

this thing uses tinydb for its persistent score database

the other stuff idc about persistence

[fickle salmon]

Never heard of tinydb

[torpid ivy]

its just a db format

i picked it cuz its what google told me lol

works fine, its just a list of dicts more or less

soo, ofc i like it

[little cobalt]

Its using json files

https://github.com/msiemens/tinydb

[daring grove]

how might i update an embed with new values on a command?

i have a command which sets up like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1073286715151765604/1137189398660784198/image.png

and in the usage of a different command, I want those values such as budget and players on the team to update

im trying to figure out how to edit the message effectively without rewriting the whole list of embeds every time I want to update

[humble condor]

Anyone have a code to get the guilds number of active members

Like this:

[fleet cedar]

You need to use discord.Option and specify autocomplete

Autocomplete can only be string type

You should return a list of discord.SelectOption with name as role name and value as role id

[grim estuary]

Hello. Is it possible to write a separate line of code if the participant opened the modal but canceled the submission?

[hazy turret]

Like this?

return [{"name": role.name, "value": role.id} for role in filtered_roles]


    async def promote_me(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        rolle: Option(discord.Role, autocomplete=select_role_autocomplete),
    ):```

[hazy turret]

So it doesn't work either because every role from the server is displayed:

[south sinew]

discord.ext.commands.Bot not automatically sync slash commands
Why?

@bot.command(description="Sends the bot's latency.")  
async def ping(ctx: c):
    await ctx.send(str(bot.latency))```

[fleet cedar]

Input type should be str

[fleet cedar]

.rtfm discord.selectoption

[sly karma]

8 results

discord.SelectOption
discord.SelectOption.default
discord.SelectOption.description
discord.SelectOption.emoji
discord.SelectOption.from_dict
discord.SelectOption.label
discord.SelectOption.to_dict
discord.SelectOption.value

[fleet cedar]

@bot.command(...) is a prefix command when using ext.commands.Bot

[little cobalt]

Why do you use commands.Bot for only slash commands?

[fleet cedar]

Use @bot.slash_command(...)

[fleet cedar]

Discord doesn't send any event if user cancelled the modal. You will need to use on_timeout in the modal class

[daring grove]

is there any better way to edit an embed rather than fetching the id of the message and editing it like that

its really slow

i have a command which sends multiple embeds
and i have another command which edits them but it fetches the embed message by id first

this usually has like a 5 second delay between the edit and the command

any faster way to do this?

[grim estuary]

Thank you. And one more question. How to change the cooldown of a certain person?

[south sinew]

because i want use and @bot.event on_message and slash_command

[little cobalt]

?

?tag clients

[limber wagon]

No tag clients found.

[little cobalt]

?tag client

[limber wagon]

@south sinew ^

[daring grove]

is there a faster way of editing a message than getting it by id and editing it?

[south sinew]

I had to sleep that night, I was so confused

Thanks, guys

[daring grove]

when i do a command, i want to edit embeds sent from a previos command
currently i fetch the embed message by id but this poses a 5ish second delay between the command and the edit of the embed

is there a more efficient way?

[south sinew]

My discord.Bot does not see message.content in the on_message event. For this reason I used Commands.Bot

[hazy turret]

If I do it this way I get an error

    async def select_role_autocomplete(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):

        return [{"name": role.name, "value": role.id} for role in filtered_roles]


    async def promote_me(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        rolle: Option(str, autocomplete=select_role_autocomplete),
    ):```

raise HTTPException(response, data)

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body```

[red pagoda]

Is it possible to select multiple channels option?

[south sinew]

Why discord.Bot does not see message.content in the on_message event?

[red pagoda]

Show code

[south sinew]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
    print(message.content)
    if message.author.bot:
        return
    await message.channel.send("Hello!")```

[grim estuary]

Show your intents

[south sinew]

and content is empty

[red pagoda]

intents = discord.Intents().all()
intents.message_content = True
client = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
   print(message.content)
   if message.author.bot:
        return
   await message.channel.send("Hello!")```

[grim estuary]

The line intents.message_content = True is not needed

[south sinew]

Just a minute ago I was doing the same thing and it wasn't working for me. Thanks again - that solved all my problems 😁

[daring grove]

could anyone help me with some message editing?

when i do a command, i want to edit embeds sent from a previuos command
currently i fetch the embed message by id but this poses a 5ish second delay between the command and the edit of the embed

[grim estuary]

@client.slash_command(description="description")
@commands.cooldown(1, 86400)

Using this, cooldown is one for all. How to issue an individual cooldown?

[bitter meteor]

@commands.cooldown(1, 2, commands.BucketType.member)``` try this?

class GameView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self,data):  # get
        super().__init__()
        self.value = data
        
    
    data = data + ""  # refactor


    @discord.ui.button(label=self.data, row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)   # acces
    async def button1(self, select: discord.ui.Select, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        if interaction.user.id == self.id:
            self.value = True
            self.stop()```
I have this view, and how do i get, refactor and use variable in the `@discord.ui.button()` line.

[daring grove]

i tried storing the message in a variable and using that variable.edit in other commands but it didnt work

    await updembedMC1.edit(embed = updembedMC2)
NameError: name 'updembedMC2' is not defined

[fleet cedar]

.tag partial

[sly karma]

Partial Objects

These can be used to make API calls when you have channel id and/or message id, and you don't want to rely on the cache to have their objects.

Methods which can be used on them are -

• Partial Messageable (analogus to a Channel) : https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable
• Partial Message (analogous to a Message): https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.PartialMessage

Example Usage:

async def star_message(channel_id: int, message_id: int):

    # Get Partial Messageable object. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_partial_messageable
    partial_channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(channel_id)

    # Get Partial Message. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable.get_partial_message
    partial_message = partial_channel.get_partial_message(message_id)

    # Add a reaction
    await partial_message.add_reaction(":star:")

[fleet cedar]

You just need the message id and channel id

[daring grove]

im trying a different method

or at least trying to get it to work

updembedLV1 = await ctx.channel.send(embed=updembedLV)

this is in one command

await updembedLV1.edit(embed = updembedLV2)

this is in another command

why do i get this error?

name 'updembedLV1' is not defined

[fleet cedar]

Variable scoping

[daring grove]

i tried making it a global var

[fleet cedar]

Bad idea

[daring grove]

how else would i do it?

[fleet cedar]

Multiple users could be using your bot, how will you determine which message is for which user?

[daring grove]

wdym

[fleet cedar]

Do it in the init. Remove the label parameter from the decorator

Then do self.button1.label = data in the init

[fleet cedar]

Two people are using the commands, how will you distinguish which message to edit when both of them use command 2

[daring grove]

in the command you have to input a 'team'

and based on that team it'll edit the message

[fleet cedar]

Return discord.OptionChoice, not a dict

(Sorry I confused it with SelectOption earlier)

[daring grove]

regardless, im the only one that will be able to use this command

[fleet cedar]

Ah

You can use a bot var ig

.tag botvar

[sly karma]

Need to keep track of a variable between functions? No problem!

⚠️ Careful what you name it though, else you might overwrite something ⚠️

Just add it to your commands.Bot or discord.Client instance like so:

bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.my_variable = 0

async def foo():
    bot.my_variable += 1

# In a cog
@commands.command()
async def counter(self,ctx):
    await ctx.send("Current Counter is at {}".format(ctx.bot.my_variable))

This also allows you to access this from other cogs/extensions/functions. Anywhere you have access to the bot instance

[daring grove]

how would i store something like this in it?

without it being sent

[valid panther]

is there any way to make the command visible to those with permissions, the only thing I have found is to limit it and show an error message in case they don't have it, @fleet cedar

[fleet cedar]

Wdym by "without it being sent"

[fleet cedar]

You can use default_permissions

[daring grove]

oh wait nevermind

hm okay let me try

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash perms example.

[daring grove]

like this you mean?

[valid panther]

yes I know, but it is still visible to the users in my case I am using it like this

    @discord.slash_command(name="config", description="Configure the server")
    @discord.default_permissions(
        administrator=True
    )
    async def config(self, ctx):

[valid panther]

bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all())

bot.value = my_value

[daring grove]

thats what i did no?

[valid panther]

and why don't you save only the embed content?

[daring grove]

wdym

oh because i want to be able to do bot.updembedSN1.edit anywhere

what would i do about the 'await' and 'ctx' problem?

[valid panther]

?

[daring grove]

is this within a function or outside?

[valid panther]

inside

[daring grove]

can bot.embed be referenced in other functions?

like bot.embed.edit?

in other functions

[valid panther]

look at the example

[daring grove]

oh

[valid panther]

[daring grove]

:)

would it be ctx.bot.updembedMU1?

[valid panther]

What you are trying to store is a message impression, you are aware of that, aren't you?

[daring grove]

yeah

and im trying to edit that message in a different command

[valid panther]

just want to edit a message?

[humble condor]

Anyone have a code to get the guilds number of active members

[daring grove]

yeah

just want to edit that embed

[valid panther]

then save only the Embed object

[fleet cedar]

yes

[fleet cedar]

you also need the message object in order to edit it

[daring grove]

yeah

[fleet cedar]

it can be reset by admins from the guild settings page

so make sure that is correct

[valid panther]

now I look at it

[daring grove]

nvm

i did it

i feel cool now

thank you!

[fleet cedar]

yeah default_permissions can be changed by admins

otherwise use local checks like (ext.)commands.has_permissions

[valid panther]

in the case that I only want to make a command visible to the bot owner I use the @commands.is_owner()

[grim estuary]

I want to make an individual cooldown that depends on the role used.

I use this to set the main cooldown.

@commands.cooldown(1, 43200, commands.BucketType.member)```

I use this to reset the cooldown in case of an error.
```py
await command_name.reset_cooldown(ctx=ctx)```
But it is considered as `NoneType` in `Modal` and `View`.

I use this line to update the cooldown according to the role.
```py
command_name.cooldown.per = cooldown```
But it certainly changes the cooldown value for everyone. 


What should I change?

[daring grove]

anyone know why this isnt removing anything

                with open("data.json", "w") as json_file:
                    data["playerrosters"][index].remove(player.display_name)
                    print(index)
                    json.dump(data, json_file)

[little cobalt]

?tag nojson

[limber wagon]

Why not to use json files for data storage
JSON files are commonly used to store data that is read by a program, however, they are unsuitable for storing dynamic data due to a number of reasons.
It is recommended to use a DBMS (Database Management System) as they come with optimized technologies for storing and retrieving information.

Advantages of using a database:

- Database tables can be related, making it easy to separate your information into multiple tables and only fetch what you need
- Databases allow you to use a query/data processing language to make complex data operations easier with less code
- One misplaced character will corrupt an entire file. A database very rarely experiences corruptions due to their automatic handling of data integrity
- Transactions in SQL databases allow you to revert unwanted changes and prevent data corruption in the case of an error
- Databases have support for indexes, allowing retrieval of some data to be extremely fast
- It is very easy to update existing data in a database, as opposed to re-writing a file
- Databases are reliable

Popular database management systems:

- SQLite3
- MongoDB
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MariaDB
- Microsoft Access

[little cobalt]

also dont use name, use the user id

[daring grove]

i display the name in an embed i send

[grim estuary]

If this cannot be fixed, then I will switch to a cooldown through the databases

[lofty sandal]

@{group_name}.command before your command

[little cobalt]

Im not sure if it works with slash and message command in one?

[lofty sandal]

yes

[fleet cedar]

That would make it visible to others too, but only you will be able to use it.

Rather specify a private guild's id, which only you are a member of

Context menu Message commands don't have groups

[fleet cedar]

Use dynamic cooldown

[rugged lodge]

Here's the cooldown example.

[grim estuary]

Thank you

[harsh gust]

how do i give a name (with spaces) to a slash command

[daring valve]

Afaik you can't add spaces to command names, but if you mean something like the screenshot, then you can use command groups https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands#sub-groups

[harsh gust]

kk thanks

can i make a param that receives discord.member class data but still input ID when invoking the command

[deft kestrel]

Does anyone know why my welcome message is being sent multiple times instead of just once?
here is the code :

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    welcome = client.get_channel(...)
    
    if (member.guild.id == ...):
        
        embed=discord.Embed(title="{}".format(member.guild.name), description="{}".format(member.mention), color=0xffffff)
        embed.set_image(url="...")
        embed.set_footer(text="{}".format(member.guild.name), icon_url="...")
        
        button = Button(label="...", url="...", emoji="📃")
        
        view = View()
        view.add_item(button)
        
        await welcome.send("|| {} ||".format(member.mention) ,embed=embed, view=view)
    else:
        pass

• And I changed the bot token several times, but this problem is only in a certain server, there is no problem in other servers, could this problem be from Discord or server settings?

I am using Docker with a start.sh and when I use -u it shows me all the logs. Does this have any changes or problems or something. Without -u it doesn’t show the logs

error:
AttributeError: '_EnumValue_ButtonStyle' object has no attribute 'disabled'
code snipped:

[heavy sky]

Can you show your code? If you're disabling the button in the callback, just do button1.disabled = toggles[0]

[bitter meteor]

i am disabling them in the __init __

[sinful juniper]

is there an easier way to see if a slash command has been executed on the bot and then send a log message via webhook, other than setting the log message directly after the ctx.respond() in each individual cog file?

possibly an on_slash_command event?

I installed Python 3.11 with pip, added the link to pip in PATH, but it still doesn't see it on the command panel. How can I fix this?

[upper hearth]

i like accidentally installed discord.py so i uninstalled it and now pycord dont work

  File "bot.py", line 2, in <module>
    from discord import option
ImportError: cannot import name 'option' from 'discord' (unknown location)

and installing it again just saying its already installed

[little cobalt]

can you show the full pip list?

pip freeze > pip.txt

[upper hearth]

i just uninstalled pycord and reinstalled it and i think it worked?

[little cobalt]

pycord or py-cord?

[upper hearth]

py-cord

[south sinew]

Hi can u help me?
I got error Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

when i use this command

async def rolee(ctx, first: discord.Option(discord.Member), second: discord.Option(discord.Role)):
    await first.add_roles(second)
    await ctx.respond("Yep")```

[little cobalt]

Missing Permissions

[south sinew]

But bot is admin

[little cobalt]

Did you invite your bot with the application.commands tag?

[south sinew]

yes, try to reinvite

[fickle salmon]

Is your bot's role above the role you're trying to add?

[south sinew]

Reinvite didn't help. Any roles do not work, not Admin or Mute

[fickle salmon]

Your bot's role needs to be higher in the list

It can't assign roles above its own role

[south sinew]

Does the order of roles matter? omg its realy work

[little cobalt]

yes

[fleet cedar]

on_application_command 😭

[flat magnet]

how to differentiate nitro with non nitro users man 🙃

[serene lantern]

How would I grab the server id without ctx?

[fickle salmon]

Can you elaborate?

[serene lantern]

I need to grab the guild id of a server but only the guild id as i am using for storing configs

[fickle salmon]

you can access bot.guilds

[serene lantern]

it doesnt work though as it just responds with: AttributeError: module 'discord.guild' has no attribute 'id'

[fickle salmon]

Can you send the code

[serene lantern]

def check_near(place):
townSpawn = requests.get(EarthMC_API + "v2/aurora/towns/" + place).json().get("coordinates").get("spawn")
onlineHunters = check_online_hunters()
nearbyHunters = []
with open("config.json", "r") as f:
config_data = json.load(f)
for hunter in onlineHunters:
if math.isclose(townSpawn.get('x'), hunter.get('x'), abs_tol=config_data.get(discord.guild.id).get('radius')) and math.isclose(townSpawn.get('z'), hunter.get('z'), abs_tol=1000):
print("Hunter Spotted! Name: " + hunter.get('name'))
nearbyHunters.append(hunter)
print(nearbyHunters)
return nearbyHunters

[fickle salmon]

?tag codeblock

[limber wagon]

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

[serene lantern]

sorry

[fickle salmon]

Yeah discord,guild.id isn't going to work, can you pass in your bot to that method?

What calls that method

[serene lantern]

i can pass it in

[fickle salmon]

Then you can access bot.guilds

Or just pass in ctx.guild?

[serene lantern]

its being called from a task

[valid panther]

I have the database in mongoDB, is it better to use motor, to use it asynchronously than to use pymongo?

[torpid ivy]

so if I pass a ctx object to another python file (like if i have bot.py and game1/functions.py and i do game1.functions.checkanswer(ctx) will game1.functions be able to access the properties/methods associated with ctx without having to import discord? I'm assuming once it's been made, the vars/functions etc are attached to the object itself

granted I could just import discord into every file in this thing to be sure but I don't think i NEED to? feels messy

like I feel like i would only need to import discord if I wanted to use functions/constructors in the discord module, but not objects already created

[torpid ivy]

though i guess if i'm importing submodule.py into main.py and running submodule.function() it's running submodule.py code in the context of main.py anyways? hmm. sorry, more of a general python question than a pycord question i guess

[fringe drum]

yes otherwise your bot's performance will decrese drastically.

pymongo is blocking meaning no other operations can occur whilst pymongo is doing something

reading doc, updating doc etc

[daring grove]

how would i edit an embed with an image thats saved to my computer?

currently im trying this
lineupLV1.set_image(url="liverpool.png")
but im getting this error
400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body

[upper hearth]

afaik you can't put local images into embeds

so you either upload it to discord yourself and copy the link or put it on a website

[little cobalt]

you can

[upper hearth]

i tried it never worked for me

[little cobalt]

?tag localfile

[limber wagon]

f = discord.File("some_file_path", filename="image.png")
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await messagable.send(file=f, embed=e)```

[upper hearth]

yea that didnt work when i tried it but maybe it does

[little cobalt]

and if you try it with first the embed and then the file?

[daring grove]

do i do attachment://liverpool.png

you reckon that would work?

[little cobalt]

Its working fine for me

[upper flint]

Hi! Can anyone please tell me a way to create a dm-only commands for bot?
Regular bot.command() ones only seem to work in guilds

[fringe drum]

there is no dm-only commands, but you could read the message content and respond accordingly?

[upper flint]

Via on_message event?

[fringe drum]

yes

[upper flint]

So it is only possible with message content intent?

[fringe drum]

to my knowledge yes

[upper flint]

Alright, thanks

[little cobalt]

there is a decorator for it @upper flint

[fringe drum]

whats the decorator?

[little cobalt]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.dm_only

[fringe drum]

oh my bad, didnt even kow

know

[little cobalt]

same for guild_only

[upper flint]

I see, good. But is there a way to hide it from guild commands?

Right now i can see it when typing in bot dm and in any guild the bot is in

[pseudo osprey]

What's the routine to edit the message containing the select menu, i.e. select > edit the message. I have tried both:
discord.Interaction.edit_original_message discord.Interaction.edit_original_response
with no luck (these both edit the interaction response, not the original message)

[daring grove]

discord.File(f, filename="attachment://napoli.png") like this right?

            lineupSN1 = discord.Embed()
            with open("napoli.png", "rb") as f:
                pictureSN = discord.File(f, filename="attachment://napoli.png")
            lineupSN1.set_image(url=pictureSN)

this is my code

im getting the same error

[fleet cedar]

filename in discord.File should be napoli.png only

the url should be attachment://napoli.png

[daring grove]

so i dont need with open?

pictureSN = discord.File("napoli.png", filename="attachment://napoli.png")

[fleet cedar]

uh no

[daring grove]

oh wait

im silly hold on

pictureSN = discord.File(f, filename="napoli.png")
lineupSN1.set_image(url="attachment://napoli.png")

like that?

[fleet cedar]

yess

perfect

[daring grove]

alright let me try it

[fleet cedar]

you can let discord.File open it for you. that way you can skip the with open

you will need to pass the path instead of f

[daring grove]

could i just put "napoli.png" since the code and image are in the same folder

or

[fleet cedar]

.tias

[sly karma]

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

[fleet cedar]

will mostly work

[daring grove]

alright

[fleet cedar]

if with open("napoli.png", "rb") works then this ^ should work too

[daring grove]

hm

it edits the message

no error

however the embed is empty now

[fleet cedar]

have you already sent a response but also want to edit the message the select menu is attached to?

use interaction.message.edit

[hazy turret]

Still not quite working...

        return [
            discord.OptionChoice(name=role.name, value=role.id)
            for role in filtered_roles
        ]```

In data.choices.4.value: Could not interpret "1131969155345198561" as string```

[fleet cedar]

uh thats weird

that usually works

how about str(role.id)

[pseudo osprey]

Yes, thank you!

[hazy turret]

This is what works. In the function I then have to convert it back to int to search for the role

[daring grove]

also

in this line pictureSN = discord.File(f, filename="napoli.png")
would i need to reference pictureSN anywhere else?

[fleet cedar]

should be trivial 🤷‍♂️

[daring grove]

i think thats why it probably isnt working

lineupSN1 = discord.Embed()
pictureSN = discord.File("napoli.png", filename="napoli.png")
lineupSN1.set_image(url="attachment://napoli.png")
await ctx.bot.setupembedSN1.edit(embed = lineupSN1)

[fleet cedar]

you also need to send it as a file

?tag localfile

[limber wagon]

f = discord.File("some_file_path", filename="image.png")
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await messagable.send(file=f, embed=e)```

[fleet cedar]

this sums it up pretty much

[daring grove]

oh so

[daring grove]

.edit(file=pictureSN, embed=lineupSN1)?

[fleet cedar]

yes iirc

[daring grove]

ok time to try

no way

it actually worked

😱

[hazy turret]

Thank you!

[daring grove]

anyone know anything about pillow?

[upper hearth]

i emailed discord abt the whole on_presence_update saying idle instead of offline and they told me to ask in the discord devs server and they just said its probably not discord or pycords fault so what am i meant to do

[pseudo osprey]

@hallow copper made their music player with pillow iirc

[hallow copper]

I did:)

[daring grove]

do you mind helping me out with some issue i have?

[hallow copper]

I'm a lil busy but you can dm me and I can see wut I can do!

[daring grove]

[torpid ivy]

so you're saying there's not

[shell radish]

I just linked documentation to them...

[torpid ivy]

yeah that was sarcasm lol. thanks!

[shell radish]

🤥

[torpid ivy]

i'm reorganizing my code in a new way, plus trying cogs. so I'm having to learn a bit about how a bunch of new stuff works

plus my old bot was written on discord.py instead of py-cord so thats fun too

[shell radish]

yeah

[torpid ivy]

i love how well slash commands just work though

[fickle salmon]

they're so nice

[torpid ivy]

on the old library I was just using $guess and having the bot delete messages as soon as it processed the guess

so you'd still see it for a split second. this solves that entirely :D

[slender lantern]

This'll be vague as heck, unfortunately, but one of my bots just stops responding starting today. No update in a week, zero error messages in the log, just stops responding to interactions. Is anyone aware of any issues going on that might be causing this? Is there some API change that necessitated the post in #library-updates ?

[shell radish]

no

[slender lantern]

Not even the new username stuff?

[shell radish]

no

[slender lantern]

Okay, thanks

Is there an on_application_command() equivalent that's guaranteed to run before the command itself runs?

[shell radish]

on_interaction

read the docs for it tho, there are warnings in there

[slender lantern]

I worried it might be that. Next question, then: how might I construct an ApplicationContext in there? Looking at the docs, it seems it should be ctx = ApplicationContext(bot, interaction), but ctx.command is None when I do that

[shell radish]

interaction.type

[ancient cosmos]

Is there a way to return a value out of a discord.ui.View?

I want to do something along the lines of:

• A Cog defines a slash command
• When a user invokes the slash command, a View is created with a select menu to get foo from the user
• foo gets passed back to the calling slash-command function, where some Cog-level functions do some post-processing on foo combined with other information from the context
• The output of the post-processing gets sent as a response to the user

But the issue I'm having is that the examples in the Guide don't go beyond using foo right in the callback function of the select menu where it was asked for. I could theoretically return foo, but I don't know where or how that return would get passed up the call stack, or how I would catch it.

The issue I'm having, basically, is that I need to either inject the context and some other dependencies into the View (yucky) or else get foo back out of the View somehow (I don't know how).

[shell radish]

add an attribute?

[ancient cosmos]

Like... I can do that, but then I have to do all the post-processing from within the View, don't I?

That'd mean that instead of being able to call post-processing functions that live at the Cog level (and get called in other places), I'd have to duplicate those functions into the View, it sounds like.

[shell radish]

no?

[ancient cosmos]

I feel like I'm missing something dumb

In this example (from https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/modal-dialogs):

class MyModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Short Input"))
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Long Input", style=discord.InputTextStyle.long))

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Modal Results")
        embed.add_field(name="Short Input", value=self.children[0].value)
        embed.add_field(name="Long Input", value=self.children[1].value)
        await interaction.response.send_message(embeds=[embed])

@bot.slash_command()
async def modal_slash(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    """Shows an example of a modal dialog being invoked from a slash command."""
    modal = MyModal(title="Modal via Slash Command")
    await ctx.send_modal(modal)

If I wanted to call another function from modal_slash, based on the input captured in the modal, do I just wait until after await ctx.send_modal(modal) has completed, and then look at the attributes of modal, which will have been updated?

[shell radish]

yeah

[ancient cosmos]

Okay, that makes sense; I was kind of locked into expecting some kind of return-based flow. Cheers

[shell radish]

yay

[hybrid tinsel]

i cant seem to make choices work here

                   ):

any ideas why?

[little cobalt]

Can you show the pip list?

Also is it still like that after a dc refresh?

[hybrid tinsel]

ah wait nevermind i solved it

i just, forgot to include myself in the permission list

😭 sorry!

i have no idea why it would work like that though?

wait no that wasnt it

its there an internal cooldown for choices to update?

[little cobalt]

Sometimes you just have to refresh dc

Or restart the bot

[hybrid tinsel]

that is pretty weird, thank you!

[plucky ingot]

I want to let my bot to print out the tag of the channel (something like this #general )

but I don't know why the code is nothing print out

And you need the channel.mention attribute

Read the docs

[plucky ingot]

to get the channel id becasue I try to just put id(0123456789) and its error

it just print those num for me

It's get_channel()

get_channel is the method

                print(get_members('owners')[0])
                print(test)

do you have members intent?

[hybrid tinsel]

ah ill go check

[lofty parcel]

A shopping cart. Duh. 🛒

[hybrid tinsel]

this fixed it, thank you!

[brave ore]

select some goods use clock button, and update embed for selected goods list, then click the "Checkout" button will open a new channel for manual settlement. is this a good way?
Are there any other better ideas?

[lofty parcel]

I mean you just gotta work with Buttons and selects and some methods

Not impossible

[hybrid tinsel]

whatd i do wrong 💀

[shell radish]

you can use

members.append(self.bot.get_user(member).mention)
``` instead

I also suggesting using *members when sending the message instead of just members

[hybrid tinsel]

was there any reason why it was normal here? (printed out imsisig#0 in console instead)

[shell radish]

__repr__ and __str__ are different

python uses __repr__ for print

and __str__ for ... string stuff

I tried that

Also didn’t work

What error do you get?

[dusk flume]

Let me send error

“await stage_channel.request_to_speak()” says voice voiceclient object has not attribute request to speak

It’s in docs

@heavy sky https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Member.request_to_speak

[heavy sky]

Saw that now, my mistake

[dusk flume]

All good

[heavy sky]

Do channel.request_to_speak instead

[dusk flume]

Already tried that

[heavy sky]

stage_channel is the voice client, but channel is the stage channel

hmm

I fixed it

The docs clearly say discord.Member.request_to_speak

It's a method of the member object

That's why you read the docs carefully

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
    image = Image.open("image.png")
    await ctx.send(file=image)```
I started looking into the Pillow library and ran into a primitive problem: I don't understand how to display an image in a message.

[shell radish]

haven't worked with pillow, but what does Image.open return

[grim estuary]

It opens a file on my laptop

But it's not in the message

[shell radish]

is image.png a local file?

[grim estuary]

It is in the same folder as the code. This is a local file

[lofty parcel]

Why do you need pillow to send a local image

[grim estuary]

I want to understand how to send files first to work with their change

[shell radish]

to send a file, you need to open a file in binary-read mode and pass it to create a discord.File object

[grim estuary]

I will try. Thanks
