Read the attributes and learn how you can get the guild and then the role

rugged lodgeBOT
#

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

lofty parcel
#

Then it's just returning names

cyan violet
#

bro i need an teamlist = [""]

#

but idk what i should write in tehre

lofty parcel
#

You get the role

#

The role has a members attribute which returns a list of member objects

#

You just need the names you you create a new list with them

#

And then it's just returning them

shell radish
deft kestrel
#

and what is aiosqlite for then?

shell radish
cyan violet
#

i'm here rn:

guild = client.get_guild(int(get_config("Guild_ID")))
teamliste = [get(guild.roles, id=1138953881460674560)]

@client.slash_command(guild_ids = servers, name="team-uprank", description="👤 Upranke ein Teammitglied.")
async def team_uprank(ctx, member: discord.AutocompleteContext):```
lofty parcel
#

Yeah thats not how it works

#

Read the example

#

Get the basics first

little cobalt
#

At the end you have to get creative for it ;3

cyan violet
#

idk how to get on

#

bro wtf

lofty parcel
#

Just do ctx.interaction.guild.get_role

cyan violet
#

bro

#

wait

lofty parcel
#

You're over complicating it

cyan violet
#

its above the command

lofty parcel
#

The autocomplete function goes outside the slash command

#

Read the example

cyan violet
#

what did i wrong??ß

lofty parcel
#

Everything

deft kestrel
#

anyone know what should I put after : ? --> </help:>

shell radish
#

the command ID

deft kestrel
shell radish
#

assuming ctx is discord.ApplicationContext and ctx.command is help, then it is ctx.command.id

discord.Option doesn't work with bridge commands?

rugged lodgeBOT

Here's the slash options example.

little cobalt
fleet cedar
#

?tag install

limber wagonBOT
#

1. Uninstall discord.py or any other forks of discord.py you might have with the namespace discord.
python -m pip uninstall discord.py discord -y

2a. Install py-cord
python -m pip install py-cord

2b. Update py-cord
python pip install -U py-cord

Installing other builds:
Note: You need to have git installed. Use ?tag git to find out how to install git.

Updating the module to master branch (unstable):
pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

fleet cedar
#

last line

#

its actually pretty stable rn

sweet gale
#

ohhk

#

so I won't have to use the example tht Zervy mentioned then?

little cobalt
#

there are many ways to do it

sweet gale
fleet cedar

#

lol, I was thinking the same

#

will on_command get triggered for bridge commands?

#

like even when user uses slash command nd even when he/she uses the prefix cmd

lofty parcel
#

.tias

sly karmaBOT
fleet cedar
#

it wont for slash version of bridge

#

master branch has on_bridge_command

#

it will trigger for both versions

#

master branch does have a few nice changes

sweet gale

more like a wavelink question, so I am pinging you @fleet cedar
Why the song doesn't start playing even after being added to queue? I did vc.autoplay = True tho

Or that

fleet cedar
sweet gale
#

ohk, lemme try tht

lofty parcel
#

Well yeah makes no sense if you don't want a limit

fleet cedar
#

are your errors being boggled up?

#

.tag noerror

sly karmaBOT
#

Not getting an error, but definitely should be?

Do you also have an on_command_error set up?
Please make sure to look at, and implement,** the 3 or so lines starting with 'else'** in the example below. Without this code or similar, your error handler is eating all unhandled errors. As you can imagine, this is bad when you get an unexpected error.
https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

Do you also use asyncio.run and/or bot.start?
Please make sure logging is setup correctly.

DISCORD FAULT

sweet gale
#

discord has been buggy somewhat since last few days for me

#

infact if I am in a vc and a bot pings me, my discord client restarts automatically

#

idk whytf tht happens but it is what it is, re-installing too didn't fix it

#

anyways, I had a question (not help or py-cord related), can I somehow get a PDF or a few PDFs of pycord's documentation? 😅

how can i conditionally add a SelectOption to a View class? i got a slash command with two select menus for adding/removing entries(an aboutme) but i don't want to have something thats already in there to appear in the add selection

Where can I find more information about how and when Pycord caches stuff? I know what the cache is, but I don't know which actions update the cache as a side effect, and I don't know what I can do to update the cache manually if I have a need to do that.

Basically, I know that the answer to "why doesn't Guild.get_member find this member that I know is in the guild?" is "because that member isn't cached", but I don't know what I can do to get the member cached for future use.

?tag ?tag json is not a db

limber wagonBOT
#

dynoError No tag ?tag found.

drifting turtle
#

?tag json is not a db

limber wagonBOT
#

Why JSON is unsuitable as a data storage medium.

  1. JSON, quite simply, is not a database. It's not designed to be a data storage format, rather a way of transmitting data over a network. It's also often used as a way of doing configuration files for programs.

  2. There is no redundancy built in to JSON. JSON is just a format, and Python has libraries for it like json and ujson that let you load and dump it, sometimes to files, but that's all it does, write data to a file. There is no sort of DBMS (Database Management System), which means no sort of sophistication in how the data is stored, or built in ways to keep it safe and backed up, there's no built in encryption either - bear in mind in larger applications encryption may be necessary for GDPR/relevant data protection regulations compliance.

  3. JSON, unlike relational databases, has no way to store relational data, which is a very commonly needed way of storing data. Relational data, as the name may suggest, is data that relates to other data. For example if you have a table of users and a table of servers, the server table will probably have an owner field, where you'd reference a user from the users table. [This is only relevant for relational data]

  4. JSON is primarily a KV (key-value) format, for example {"a":"b"} where a is the key and b is the value, but what if you want to search not by that key but by a sub-key? Well, instead of being able to quickly use var[key], which in a Python dictionary has a constant return time (for more info look up hash tables), you now have to iterate through every object in the dictionary and compare to find what you're looking for. Most relational database systems, like MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL have ways of indexing secondary fields apart from the primary key so that you can easily search by multiple attributes.

For more info and resources about storing persistent data, please check out https://vcokltfre.dev/tips/storage/

atomic fern
#

I don't really understand what "persistent" is but i don't use json for db

drifting turtle
#

it's recommended to use a db such as Sqlite or postgres instead

hey guys I want to make a discord dashboard but I don't know which way should I follow or what should I need to learn? (if I made a mistake while writing sorry for that I'm not native english speaker)

drifting turtle
halcyon zinc
#

not for users

drifting turtle
#

i outlined the concept on how you can approach it, not whether admins are able to use it

#

if you want it for admins, then it's up to you to integrate that feature

halcyon zinc
#

how can i integrate?

#

what should i learn for this?

drifting turtle
halcyon zinc
#

I searched to many resource but i didn't find any resource

drifting turtle
#

to illustrate my point:

The web app way

bot <--ipc--> web server <- web client

Using an JS framework:

bot <--ipc--> rest api <-- http client (axios) <-- user
edgy nest
#

if you can make a website all id worry about is ipc

drifting turtle
#

fyi there are no good ipc libs for pycord so the ipc approach is basically screwed. ghoul's lib is just a fork of discord-ext-ipc (which has been archived so don't bother thinking of using it) and literally does nothing but switch the namespaces

edgy nest
#

i personally use redis pubsub channels for ipc

#

it works really well

drifting turtle
#

zeromq is kinda my choice when it comes to ipc

halcyon zinc
#

thanks guys

edgy nest
#

don't need to worry about causing problems by reconnecting or anything

fleet cedar
#

Might need to install without any deps

drifting turtle
#

better-ipc requires some tinkering to get working for pycord

tepid coyote

how do you send multiple views at once?

But you can only send 1 view

And a view contains up to 25 items (if Buttons only)

Then subclass the view

Or add both items to the same view manually

It's not adviced to put the .sync_commands() function on an on_ready event, right? And that I should just put plain on my main.py file?

cerulean sable
lapis dock
# cerulean sable I'm using cogs, so it's different.

It shouldn't be. If you load the cogs with load_extension (you should if you are not) you still do not need to use sync_commands.

The 2 reasons you would, is to add, edit, or remove a command without restarting the bot or if you override on_connect

cerulean sable
lapis dock
#

Ok then yes you are correct due to the fact that you are removing and adding commands while the bot is online. You would only need to call sync commands in your
/load_cog (and remove_cog) commands.

Why does display_name, name all give me "teddou."?

Isn't Py-cord up to date yet?

Hello there 🙂 Someone has an idea why slash commands of my bot are not showing on some servers? The bot has all permissions he needs and on most servers it works. Also other bots do not have the same problems. The roles the other bots have on the server are exactly the same as the roles of my bot. Any suggestions? 🙂 Using Bridgecommands instead of slash commands btw

heavy sky
#

Are you sure that the bot has the application.commands scope in all servers?

heavy sky
#

And that the commands are global and not are for certain guilds only?

Application Commands Not Showing Up?

  • Uninstall libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py).
  • Invite your bot with the application.commands scope.
  • Load cogs before bot.run() (e.g. not in on_ready).
  • Do not override on_connect.
  • Update to the newest version of py-cord (see ?tag install).
  • Turn off User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input.
  • Share your code and errors.

master has the interaction.edit shortcut, but what if I'm editing the original message from inside a Modal callback and need to (I'm passing in the parent view as self._view (which may be obsolete now?)) -- What's the most pycord-ish way to edit the original message while passing in the new View state?

Hi guys, do you have an Idea of how I can put on owner_ids all of the pepoles that have a certain role, and above pls?

e.g

class MyModal(discord.ui.Modal):
  def __init__(self, *args, view: MyView):
    self._view = view

  ...
  async def callback(self, interaction: Interaction):
    do_stuff_that_changes_the_view()
    original_embed = self._view.message.embeds[0]
    original_embed.fields[0].value = 'Dorukyum is cool'

    await interaction.edit(embeds=self._view.message.embeds, view=self._view)

Is this still the best way to accomplish? Or am I overcomplicating?

summer scroll

cursive swallow
cursive swallow
#

(member.top_role.position)

#

Check if it's higher than the bottom role you're looking for

round heart
cursive swallow
#

Yep, I would like the view to be removed from cache after it's been removed from a message

#

idk maybe I'll look into it when I have some time

#

or if bob returned and started acting like an actual maintainer he could do it...

round heart
#

Can you return error messages in a Modal when submitting? Like you click Submit, it does some verification, and without closing the Modal shows an error right in the Modal UI similar to the "Something went wrong" text (Don't see anything in the Discord docs, but was worth asking)

fleet cedar
#

you send a response and a button to send another modal

#

if you want

round heart
#

Sadly not helpful from a user standpoint but I gotcha. Currently building a second embed to show any error messages. The View is fairly complex

#

Appreciate the confirmation

fleet cedar
round heart
# fleet cedar you can do `interaction.message.edit` ?

Well I also need access to the View, because various UI state (name, enabled/disabled, selections, etc) may have changed in response to the callback. And this may also come from a helper method, so I don't want to mark it as responded yet.

fleet cedar
#

#

Oh that's cool that CustomActivity has an emoji; didn't even see that. I'm guessing that can't be a custom emoji(?)

fleet cedar
#

as it can be a PartialEmoji

So here's a fun one.
I'm passing my view into Modals.
From a callback,interaction.message and self._view.message do not refer to the same object.

Hi, is there a way to move a Slash Command Group into another file and use it in a cog to make a sub group? I have tried making it a variable in it's own file and importing it, but the command just doesn't show up on discord, but loads fine.

I basically want to use the Slash Command Group for multiple sub groups, that aren't in the same file.

Are you just trying to store when the bot starts up or it smthn else you're trying to store?

tepid coyote
# dusky ermine Are you just trying to store when the bot starts up or it smthn else you're tryi...

Got asked about it a few days ago. I’m still trying to get my head around it.
It’s an arma server and they want to record play time when they organise events
Scenario:
They group up> organiser runs X command <start> -> they play -> X <stop> works out the duration and updates a db with new play time for the month. But there may be multiple sessions starting and ending at different times so there may be overlap

#

That was my understanding of it

dusky ermine
#

Oh yeah then I'd recommend storing it in the database if you need the data to persist after the bot restarts

#

And that way you'll be able to handle multiple timers easily

#

You can probs just store the user id of who started the timer as well as the start and end timestamps

lofty parcel
#

if you dont want a db, just use a dict

tepid coyote

a db is always better

You could use sqlite for a simple db

How do giveaway bots verify you've sent enough messages to enter? Is that literally by saving a record of every message sent by anyone in the server and then using COUNT()?

heavy sky
cursive leaf
fleet cedar
#

what ive tried is, save people's message counts after they have tried to enter once

#

this cuts down on a lot of needless data

#

but it becomes impractical at some cases

#

or actually no

cursive leaf
#

I mean giveawayboat must have terabytes of this stuff

fleet cedar
#

not the message itself

cursive leaf
#

Then how can you do the messages in the past 24 hours

fleet cedar
#

smth like

user1  5
user2  69
user3  420
cursive leaf
#

You can't timestamp them that way, or do you just have a decay of 5% of their messages each hour

fleet cedar
#

i dont really decay

#

i store the counts per-gaw

#

so the total messages after a gaw are counted

cursive leaf
#

per giveaway?

fleet cedar
#

yes

cursive leaf
#

Oh so they need X messages by the end to have a chance of being picked

fleet cedar
#

mhm

#

isnt that what you are doing too?

cursive leaf
#

I wonder how giveawayboat does it

cursive leaf
#

Giveawayboat checks when they join how many they've sent in the past 24 hours

#

I mean it must just be by saving messages, their database must be crazy

fleet cedar
#

huh damn

#

yea that might need a giant db

#

💀

grizzled loom
cursive leaf
#

What stochastics

#

For decay?

grizzled loom
# cursive leaf For decay?

i meant like:

user a made 10 messages. user b made 20
randint between 1 and 30. 1-10 a wins... expand as needed.

so no need to store massive amounts of data, a user id + an int will do.

cursive leaf
#

oh that's what you meant, I hadn't intended it to work like that but it's a cool idea

grizzled loom
#

why store more than that? 😄

grizzled loom
#

what was your plan/idea?

cursive leaf
#

nothing insane, was just user needs X number of messages in the past Y time to enter the giveaway

grizzled loom
#

Ahh a treshold for entry and equal chances for all that make it.

#

doesnt sound bad either! My way would encourage spam cause of the higher win chance

#

at least if participants are aware how it works

#

how can I check whether or not paginator is allowed to edit its own embed collection in the channel he wants to do so(the channel the slash command was used in)?

so its just that, makes sense

If you want to send more text, try using embeds

do embeds have infinite limit or what? or just a higher one?

whats the max number of fields an embed can have?

Is there a way to make a command both slash and user in one function? Or is it pretty much just have 2 seperate decorators

safe nest
# plucky ingot can I ask what is `inline`

Inline decides whether an embed field will 100% get it's own line or if it can share a line on a large enough screen, setting it to false will make sure the field is for sure on it's own line

plucky ingot
#

so its something like \n

#

like

safe nest
#

kinda

plucky ingot
# 
print("hello\n I'm here to meet you")
safe nest
#

lemme whip up a quick embed to show you

plucky ingot
#

ok thanks

#

py-cord is very hard to build a embed for me

safe nest
# plucky ingot py-cord is very hard to build a embed for me 
    @commands.slash_command(name="test")
    async def test_t(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, inline: discord.Option(bool, "Whether example should be inline")):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Example", description=f"Inline: {inline}")
        embed.add_field(name = "1", value = "elk", inline = inline)
        embed.add_field(name = "2", value = "elk", inline = inline)
        embed.add_field(name = "3", value = "elk", inline = inline)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

#

inline true would be the first embed in the ss, inline false would be the second embed

#

hope that helps!

plucky ingot
#

fully helped thanks

safe nest
#

no worries!

#

glad I could help someone else for once instead of asking for help kek

plucky ingot
safe nest
#

wdym same bracket?

#

like multiple values per field? no

plucky ingot
#

like

embed.add_field(name = "a", value = "yo", value = "hi",inline = True)
plucky ingot
safe nest
#

afaik you can only use value once in the function

#

so no, you can use \n\n or smth like that to make it kinda look like there is a second value

#

but you can't define the same variable 2 times in the function

plucky ingot
#

rip I have too do a bot for a server and its extremely hard for me

#

free to ask here?

#

becasue Its a bit big problem with it

safe nest
plucky ingot
#

if their are any incomprehensible mention me please

# 
bot.command(description = "message as embed")

async def message(ctx,user,  date: discord.Option(str), Class: discord.Options(str), days: discord.Options(str), time: discord.Options(str)):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = "My message",
        color = discord.Colour.dark_purple(),
    )
    embed.add_firld(name = f"your Class", value = f"{date}",)
    embed.add_field(name = f"{time}", value = "User", inline = True)

here is my code Im working on now

# plucky ingot where is Mr Alex :< sorry I ask a hard question for you

ngl, this is a more in depth question, and to answer it involves quite a bit of coverage of pycord, I'd suggest starting off with a smaller project and working your way up. this question also depends quite a bit on you figuring out exactly the way you want the onfo displayed and how you're going to implement it, before even getting to making an admin command to change the information on there, which is a whole task of it's own

#

if you need two line breaks (or one that just refuses to show up, use:

\n\u200B
safe nest
#

the point of the 2 line breaks was just to put a gap between the 2 paragraphs, but thanks for that i guess

grizzled loom
#

it depends on where it is used though. on some places double \n works fine

Hey, is it possible to use the @option decorator to change how a command's option looks in the UI? I'm trying to use name= parameter, but it's giving me a "TypeError: option() got multiple values for argument 'name'"

# 
@option(
"group_category",
name="group category",
description="What type of category is this group (i.e. project)?",
required=True,
)```
where group_category is my option variable/parameter, and name="group category" is how I want it shown in discord UI.
lapis dock
#

name is the UI name. Try using parameter_name

Is there something similar to discord.Option(int) but so that only emoji can be accepted?

#

how do i check that 2 set users have interacted with a button? i want it to proceed when both users have reacted

lapis dock
slow dock
lapis dock
little cobalt
#

I also would be interested how to check if a string is a emoji

lapis dock
#

The main issue is that there is a bunch of different ranges unicodes for emojis. Its not like U140683-U141244 are emojis.

little cobalt
#

that one is a custome one

lapis dock
#

Those are easier to find but you would also have to verify if it is a real emoji.

slender surge
#

e.g. 1 user reacted to a button that say "Wizard", another reacts to a button that says "Knight" and once each button has been clicked once it proceeds?

little cobalt
#

you could disable it after pressing the button

lapis dock
#

Then you just have to flip the bools instead of having bools for the users have it for the button. You might also want to store what user clicked what button so that you know that 1 user did not press both.

slender surge
#

could i insert a users choice into a databse, and check if the 2 values are null or not? if both values have a value in them then it proceeds

# lapis dock name is the UI name. Try using `parameter_name`

I tried, it keeps giving me a TypeError saying too many arguments for name=, I think it’s automatically referring to the first argument “group_category” as the name. I even tried doing parameter_name=, name= but it didn’t work I’ll try again rn

I actually came up with an idea for the emojis. Import an emoji dictionary and use it as your options list?

here's a better workaround:

hasty cosmos
#

And you can handle that error inside discord slash command possibly, that part I don't know how to.

ideally it would show this before the user sending the command

@slow dock Yeah if you can make a similar error customized for an option, such as how the required=True does, then let me know 🙏

i am about to make the most horrific command ever \o/

trying to figure out the best way to handle changing settings via a command. might just add a bunch of optional parameters in a slash command? like /dat set enabled False or /dat set option1 5

i'd rather have a nice little web dashboard for this but i have no idea how so

hmm. so this will only match regular channels, right? I'm trying to find the right Option to use to match regular channels + threads

or will that do it

Here's the slash options example.

torpid ivy
#

OH sweet

#

oh i see, it's using a different method than me to add options I guess

#

i was always doing them inline with the initial @command_group.command() decorator

If I have a View with some Buttons, one of which pops up a Modal, is there a way from that Modal's callback function to access the View, for example, to enable a Save button on that message that was previously disabled, if the form passes validation?

shell radish
#

yes

torpid trench
#

(and if so, what is that way?)

torpid ivy
#

something like this is the approach i'm going lol

image.png
#

(ignore the pass, that's just to keep pycharm from getting annoyed)

shell radish
#

you can use modal.wait() or use nested classes, but I prefer the first one

Pycord
Bot UI Kit

The library has helpers to help create component-based UIs. Shortcut decorators: Objects: Attributes children, disable_on_timeout, message, timeout. Methods cls View.from_message, def add_item, def...

shell radish
torpid ivy
#

nah I figured out what i was looking for, was mostly just posting that so anyone could point out any immediate issues with the approach lol

#

my original question was just how to match channels + threads but that seems easy enough w/ Union

shell radish

what do you mean

#

this is how I currently have a command that requires the user doing the command to select a user specifically

no I know what type hinting is, I just didn't know what you meant

you don't get type-hinting on option'ed args

you seem to be telling me that shouldn't work

are you talking about within pycharm or something? i'm so confused what you're trying to tell me lol

ahhhh okay

#

I thought you meant in general

that's why I sent the article ;-;

like you were saying that using type hinting in the async def command wouldn't work like that

next fun problem I have to figure out, when I switch over to this server-based settings format with user-based permissions and all that, the permissions list will be empty. so I gotta figure out how to somehow give admins/moderators permissions to begin with. There any sort of flag for that that I can check for?

#

like on a per server basis i could add the moderator role id to the role permissions list, but for defaults I gotta figure out an option

#

I guess one option would be to check if a role has a specific permission only moderators would have. like "Manage Channels" or something -- although I'm not sure if the bot would have the ability to check permissions of roles

torpid ivy
#

so if someone uses /dat settings user_elevation username 123 -- ctx.command.qualified_name would be "dat settings user_elevation" right?

#

given that username and 123 are args, rather than part of the command

hasty cosmos
#

@slow dock I got it to work by importing "emojis" python library 🙂

#

It's not too bad. I can teach you how

#

example:

Screen_Shot_2023-08-21_at_2.45.56_PM.png

#

are role ids unique per role, across servers?

In discord slash commands, is it possible to customize your own warning based on specific requirements?

image.png
#

This one is from when you set an option's attribute required=True

shell radish
hasty cosmos
hasty cosmos
#

like after invoking a command

shell radish
#

send an ephemeral message with a red-colored embed

hasty cosmos
#

And is there a way to add a UI button called "edit" with that message that recreates the command with previous inputs?

#

I've gotta learn pycord buttons still

shell radish
#

no

#

you can mention the message tho

#

or on desktop you can just click the up arrow

hasty cosmos
#

Well I noticed on discord when a command's invoked it says @user used /command and when you hover of it gives the entire command with options

hasty cosmos
hasty cosmos
shell radish
#

when you select a slash command, the discord client will try to parse the addition text as arguments

hasty cosmos
#

Yk what I'll just make it easier on everyone and add warning "use the up arrow to edit your command" 🤣

#

Thank you for your help 💯

# shell radish send an ephemeral message with a red-colored embed

Is it possible to delete a ctx.response from a bot after certain time instead of a message using ctx.send? My bot still expects a response, so I used

await ctx.respond("Warning: warning description !")

I was wondering if there was a way I could delete that message. Possibly with appropriate "manage messages" permission?

shell radish
#

There is a delete_after arg

hasty cosmos
#

bless you, I found it. delete_original_response is the arg for interaction object

        await warning_msg.delete_original_response(delay=10)
#

🙏

# shell radish no, there is literally

😮 woah. I didn't see this. How do I use send_response with BridgeContext?

your button should be

modal = Modal(...)
await interaction.response.send_ ...
await modal.wait()```
#

and your modal should be self.stop() self is your modal, thats how classes work

#

and you dont pass self to functions, that arg is given by python

#

basic oop

desert goblet
lofty parcel
#

You pass your title or whatever args you're using

#

It sounds like you have no idea what you're doing if you can't read your own code nor deduct code from a example which is 99% identic to your code

#

You're required to know basic python and OOP if you want to use pycord

#

Otherwise, you'll just get stuck at simple issues

You're right, sorry for wasting your time

Its not about wasting my time, it's about yourself getting stuck at simple issues.

show how you used the code, cause idk why you'd have a string as a response

#

if you aren't using it in a cog, remove self.

rose roost
#

ok

safe nest
rose roost
safe nest
#

let's see some more of the code, hard to help properly without more context

#

it's also possible that it can't find the channel, hence why I included the fetch_channel part

rose roost
safe nest
#

try using await bot.fetch_channel() instead of bot.fetch_channel() and see how that works out for ya, and keep in mind that this requires a channel ID

rose roost
#

but I didn't use bot.fetch_channel() anywhere

safe nest
#

I meant instead of bot.get_channel() my b kek

#

reading and spelling are hard

rose roost
#

ok

#

like this?🤨

image.png
safe nest
#

yeah

rose roost
#

In channel_id: Value "#1132998889813848124" is not snowflake.

safe nest
#

so it looks like you're calling a channel like #how-to-get-help when running the command, try pasting the channel id instead of calling the channel like that

rose roost
#

ок

safe nest
#

with that it's far easier to take in parameters instead of separating the message yourself, or better yet, slash commands

rose roost
#

i know, but slash commands displayed to everyone

rose roost
safe nest
rose roost
safe nest
#

does your bot have permission to view and speak in all those channels that didn't work? I don't see anything code wise that would prevent it

rose roost
safe nest
#

then I'm unsure of why it wouldn't work in some channels

rose roost
#

I think I'll try doing it by prefixed commands

safe nest
#

pls do, it's so much easier and far easier to do something like #how-to-get-help instead of a channel id

rose roost
#

can i use in my code prefixed commands and slash commans at the same time?

#

yee

If you just want the avatar object you can do member.avatar but if you want the url for it, then do: member.avatar.url

        description = f"{description}"
    )
    embed.set_author(name=f"{user}",icon_avatar = )
#

this is my progress right now

Ah, ok. First, you should change user=ctx.user.id to user=ctx.user. Then in the set_author set it to user.name and the icon to user.avatar.url
