Basic Pycord Help

[plucky ingot]

so I do it with icon_url = user.display_avatar.url

[opal hamlet]

What is the difference?

[plucky ingot]

its error and I don't know what it say

[safe nest]

people have a discord wide avatar, but display_avatar will use the avatar that the user set specifically for the server

[plucky ingot]

none of the problem about my code

[safe nest]

you cut the error off, so it's hard to tell, but it looks like the bot might be missing a permission or something

[opal hamlet]

Ahh yeah, that makes sense... Since there's also display-name

[safe nest]

:)

[plucky ingot]

it say missing access

so it is not my problem

[safe nest]

let's see the rest of the error message, I believe there should be a bit more

[plucky ingot]

its I have to turn on something in the developer portal

[opal hamlet]

Intents maybe?

[plucky ingot]

this is the back

[opal hamlet]

Maybe Member intents?

[safe nest]

it would usually give an error saying you need to enable the intent or smth like that iirc

[plucky ingot]

so how can I make it work

is it in the discord developer

[opal hamlet]

Under the bot tab of your application

[safe nest]

you can try that, but you're giving us no context to work with on why the error is popping up, we're just left to guess with what you've given us

we would need the full error to really even start, because I've never once seen an error on pycord that didn't give a line number in your code to trace the error back to

[plucky ingot]

here

oh wait

the error originates from this line

are you absolutely positive the bot has permission to send messages in whatever channel you're running the command in?

[plucky ingot]

no

it work now

I am very sorry

[safe nest]

no worries, just keep in mind to send the full error log next time, it helps a ton

[plucky ingot]

actually I have one more problem

I already download everything from the pycord dev portal

but everything still error

is it have any different with mac and windows

Im on mac rn

[safe nest]

did you already run pip install python-dotenv py-cord?

if so, then try reopening the project

[plucky ingot]

I download it many many times

[safe nest]

pycord is py-cord not pycord if I recall correctly

in pip anywho

and it's python-dotenv instead of dotenv, i noticed that one on your error list as well

[heavy sky]

And if you have installed python-dotenv and py-cord, tried reinstalling both and restarting vscode and it still doesn't work I'd recommend create a venv running it inside the venv instead. https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html

Oh, and also. I see you're trying to install pycord 2.0.0 in your code which is an old version of it. I'd strongly recommend using the newer version of it (2.4.1)

[plucky ingot]

same even I reinstalled

[heavy sky]

Try creating a venv and installing it in the venv

Then restart vscode

[plucky ingot]

it say command not find: python

[heavy sky]

Try using py instead

[plucky ingot]

ok

command not find:py

is it I have to put python3

many trys and still not work

[rose roost]

no

[plucky ingot]

So what should I do

[fleet cedar]

user.avatar will be None if they don't have any avatar set (the default red, green etc discord logo). But user.display_avatar will return the default avatar too

So display_avatar will 100% return an avatar url

[fleet cedar]

Did you create a venv?

[plucky ingot]

how can I create

Im noob sorry

[fleet cedar]

Google 🙃

[plucky ingot]

:<

[fleet cedar]

Pass the actual path to the venv, not the example text

[rose roost]

why it dont work

[subtle juniper]

why this event is not being triggered when I change my display name?

@bot.event
async def on_user_update(before, after):
print("triggered")
print(after.display_name)

[opal hamlet]

The universal answer to nearly all problems, except medical problems

[valid panther]

I have a problem, when I make the paginator and with the Dropdown, I choose another type of data, it only maps the page in question. Then if I want to change the page, it returns to the base data.

class Dropdown_Type(discord.ui.View):

    def __init__(self, league_division: str):
        ....

    @discord.ui.select(
        placeholder="Selecciona un tipo de filtro",
        min_values=1,
        max_values=1,
    )
    async def select_type(self, select: discord.ui.Select, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        value = select.values[0]

        paginator = Paginator_Score(self.league_division, value)
        await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=paginator.pages[0])

[hazy turret]

Is there a way to receive a webhook with a Discord bot without extra webserver etc. to execute a function accordingly?

[old violet]

how to make group commands in pycord bridge

[heavy sky]

Take a look at https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/bridge_commands.py

[grizzled loom]

If I upgrade to using the master branch instead of the pip version, is it fully backwards compatible?(with 2.4.1)

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[valid panther]

No problems for me

[grizzled loom]

@stoic patio was your earlier question answerd? If so, what storage solution did you go for? and is it a one server bot or for many servers

[dense veldt]

how can i make a optional option in a slash command?

[grizzled loom]

simply assign a default value where you make the arguments

[dense veldt]

so i do Optional() instead of Option()?

[grizzled loom]

naah
post an example, i show you with one of your arguments

or i show you one of mine, hang on:

[dense veldt]

i want to make the text option optional, so you dont need to put something in there

[grizzled loom]

@booty.slash_command(name="kick_status", description="Displays how many members and who exactly would get booted")
@commands.cooldown(1, 20, commands.BucketType.member)
@booty_needs_to_be_ready
async def emb(
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        days: discord.Option(
            int,
            "enter max days of being inactive, 90 if none are given",
            min_value=2, max_value=999, default=90
        )
):

Here you can see the integer has a default value of 90, thus it can be left empty.

to post code here use
```py
# code
```

so it becomes

# code

[dense veldt]

py

wait

async def dice(ctx, text: Option(int, description = "Höchste Zahl")):

[heavy sky]

Or you can just pass required=False

If you don't want a default value

[dense veldt]

ohh thats what i was looking for

thank you

[heavy sky]

No problems 🙂

[opal hamlet]

can i send a message with multiple embeds at once? f.e. embeds = {embed1, embed2} and then ...send(embed=embeds)

[little cobalt]

embeds=[embed1, embed2]

[opal hamlet]

ah yeah

but can i?

[little cobalt]

[opal hamlet]

would it work like that?

yeah should have done that

[opal hamlet]

thanks, want to somewhat foolproof my embed against character limit

[little cobalt]

So description have a limit of 4k and fields have a limit of 1024

[opal hamlet]

surprises me that the description is so large tho

[little cobalt]

I dont know the other ones

[hardy drum]

quick question - whats the difference between Application Command and Slash Command?

[heavy sky]

Application commands include context menus (user and messages) and slash commands, while a slash command is just... a slash command 😛

[hardy drum]

is it possible to do guild context menus?

[heavy sky]

No, discord only has User and Message context menus as of right now

[hardy drum]

i mean not global , my bad

i mean like this

slash command can be global or guild

like that

[heavy sky]

Ah, ok. Yeah, you can pass guild_ids to the decorator. https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.UserCommand

[hardy drum]

can i create a slash command inside a function?

like command = Discord.SlashCommand(...)

[little cobalt]

it should work

you also could create a slash command class

[hardy drum]

okay thanks

i am trying to create a command that can load or unload a guild command

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.SlashCommand

[subtle juniper]

why this event is not being triggered when I change my display name?

@bot.event
async def on_user_update(before, after):
print("triggered")
print(after.display_name)

[hardy drum]

output need to be stored?

[heavy sky]

The docs says it's only called when the username, avatar or discriminator is updated

so not when the display name is updated

[subtle juniper]

I mean for discord.py it works

kinda need to switch to discord py sadly

[heavy sky]

hmm, do you have member intents enabled then?

[subtle juniper]

yea

[little cobalt]

did you also add member intents to the bot?

[subtle juniper]

every intent

[little cobalt]

which py-cord version do you use?

[upper hearth]

if i have a command that sends 2 msgs, how do i pick which one it edits

[heavy sky]

Are you using ctx.send, reply or ctx.respond?

[subtle juniper]

latest

[little cobalt]

2.4.1 or master branch?

[opal hamlet]

msg2 = await ctx.send...
msg1.edit...
msg2.edit....```
?

[little cobalt]

that doenst work with slash commands

[opal hamlet]

oh it doesnt?

my bad

[little cobalt]

nope

[opal hamlet]

thats good to know

[little cobalt]

slash commands return an interaction object

[stoic patio]

guilds for now, and it is a bot in ~70 servers rn

[upper hearth]

respond

[stoic patio]

although i am preparing for when it hits 2.5k

[grizzled loom]

prepare for 76 so you can start verification right away 😄

What does your storage solution look like atm and whats the goal/usecase of storing?

[opal hamlet]

btw how easy is it to get verification?

[little cobalt]

The bot has to be at 100 Server

[grizzled loom]

depends partly on your intents. verification itself is relatively easy once you've done it.

[grizzled loom]

nah. 76. if its 100+ it stops working without

[little cobalt]

76?

wtf is that number

[grizzled loom]

yes, "over 75" is the offical limit to start verification. so you can begin the process when its 76.

[little cobalt]

oh

[grizzled loom]

just dont bullshit around with it, when discord assums "unorganic growth" ( meaning you just push it on 20 of your own or friends servers to hit 76) it wont start.

*in

anyways, i am curious about your storage thing 😄

you'll need to apply for message intend seperately with verification anyways, cause that's priviliged intent. they don't allow all usecases. especially when user data and/or message content is stored.

not saying you cant do or get it, but you need to explain and state your usecase.

[opal hamlet]

i assume automod functionality would be a valid usecase for msg intent?

[grizzled loom]

could be

[stoic patio]

it's already verified :)

[grizzled loom]

huh? how did you manage to get it started earlier?

[stoic patio]

wdym

[grizzled loom]

usually you cant start official verification before 76 servers

[stoic patio]

i lost a few servers

lmfao

[grizzled loom]

Ahhh!

Okay makes sense

Did you also apply for priviliged intents?

[stoic patio]

yes

also, my storage as of rn is a dictionary with guild ids as keys and lists of recent messages as values

(recent means, every message that's added gets deleted afterwards)

after about ~20 seconds

[grizzled loom]

okay, now I am really curious

[stoic patio]

whenever someone sends a msg, i check the corresponding guild id

[stoic patio]

like, if the message's guild's id is 123, check the key "123"

and the thing i'm using this for is anti fast messages spam

[grizzled loom]

soo.. what happens with the stored messages and how do people know who wrote what if its all deleted after 20 seconds?

[stoic patio]

so there is a rate limit (messages per unit time) set by the admins

suppose it's x messages per y seconds

we find the messages in the array sent within y seconds

and use listcomp to determine which were sent by the user

[grizzled loom]

I fail to see how this helps

I must be missing something.

[stoic patio]

what do you need clarification on

[grizzled loom]

how do you "sell" your bot when you advertise it on botlists or such? maybe it'll help if i read through his description

[stoic patio]

i don't think that's relevant to the antispam thing rn

it's an automoderation dc bot

[grizzled loom]

hmm

sounds like the stored data can become a lot pretty fast.

[stoic patio]

which is why i delete the msgs

[stoic patio]

here
https://top.gg/bot/834072169507848273

it's rather obscure rn

[grizzled loom]

Ahhh! So it checks if the same message was posted before withing a given timeframe and prevents dublicates.

Reading through it made it make much more sense

[stoic patio]

i see

[arctic plover]

Hey guys, i wanna get item of view:

button = super().get_item(name)

But i get this error:

TypeError: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type

Why?

[stoic patio]

no idea

[lofty parcel]

Full code?

[stoic patio]

i was asking abt whether i should use channels or guilds as keys

because guilds means less keys but each key contains a large array

and channels means a lot more keys but each key contains a small array

[arctic plover]

class test(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, name):
        super().__init__(timeout = None)
        button = discord.ui.Button(label = 'Test', style = discord.ButtonStyle.grey, custom_id = name)
        async def test(interaction):
            button = super().get_item(name)
            super().remove_item(button)
            button.label = 'Hi!'
            super().add_item(button)
            await interaction.response.edit_message(content = 'Hi, {name}', view = super().__init__())
        button.callback = test
        super().add_item(button)


@bot.slash_command(name = 'testing')
async def testing(ctx, name:discord.Option(str, required = True)):
    view = test(name)
    await ctx.respond('Test', view = view)

[lofty parcel]

Why are you using super()?

Just use self

And whats the point of subclassing a view if you're going to manually assign callbacks and buttons

[arctic plover]

Because in the future my buttons will accept variables passed to the class as parameters

[lofty parcel]

Then subclass the button

And add it to the view

[arctic plover]

I want to add them to persistent view

[grizzled loom]

I'd probably use channel id, longer key but less work when comparing/checking. the few integers more or less arent a big deal, but loads of strings and comparission can be.

[stoic patio]

i just experimented with huge python dicts

[lofty parcel]

You still can?

[stoic patio]

and fetching huge dicts doesn't take too long

like it only took 2.5e-5 seconds to fetch smth from {i: [i**2]*2000 for i in range(100000)}

[arctic plover]

Hm, yes, ur right

ty

[grizzled loom]

okay, thats pretty solid!

[shell radish]

just use a database at that point...

[stoic patio]

i can't

[grizzled loom]

maybe try sqlite, it's really easy to learn

[stoic patio]

well i'm using this for antispam

and i use databse queries to retrieve automod settings

which is already enoguh

[grizzled loom]

hmn. well, as long as all the comperrison work with strings can hold up. why not.

[shell radish]

what you're describing sounds like a cache, so I'll recommend redis if you ever have scaling issues.

[grim estuary]

Hello! How can I edit an already created field? Or is it only possible by deleting it and re-creating it?

[shell radish]

what field are you referring to?

[grim estuary]

Field in Embed

[shell radish]

you can replace the embed with a new embed

[shell radish]

but yeah, that's basically how it is

[grim estuary]

Thank you!

[arctic plover]

But how to set callback?

I tried to use super().callback = callback

But here error that super() doesnt have attribute 'callback'

[shell radish]

items have callbacks, not views

[arctic plover]

Now i'm subclassing discord.ui.Button

[shell radish]

Do you know how OOP works?

[arctic plover]

Yes, I read the documentation

It is written there:

In other words, the class that subclasses another class can inherit all the methods and attributes of that class.

all attributes

[shell radish]

ok, how do you override a method?

[arctic plover]

Like callback this is an attribute of discord.ui.Button

[arctic plover]

Here is my code:

class view_button(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, title, q_embed, link):
        async def view(interaction):
            link_button = discord.ui.Button(label = 'Go to question', style = discord.ButtonStyle.url, url = link)
            view = discord.ui.View(link_button, hide_button(title, q_embed, link), timeout = None)
            await interaction.response.edit_message(content = '(Viewed)', embed = q_embed, view = view)
        super().__init__(label = 'View', style = discord.ButtonStyle.grey, custom_id = f'view_{title}')
        super().callback = view

Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't understand

[shell radish]

this is an example of button subclassing

[rugged lodge]

Here's the button roles example.

[arctic plover]

Oh, i'm really dumb...

[shell radish]

hi really dumb. I'm squid

[arctic plover]

Nice to meet you

[upper hearth]

if i have a command that sends 2 msgs, how do i pick which one it edits

[shell radish]

specify the message to edit

[upper hearth]

one of the msgs is send by a button but i can't figure out how to make it edit the 2nd msg instead of original one

[opal hamlet]

try to store the message id in a global var or smth and then later fetch that msg and edit, would be what i'd try

[upper hearth]

i would do that but if two people do it at the same time it will mess up so im just gonna not do it

[opal hamlet]

can i see the code? mainly out of curiosity what you want to do

[slow dock]

can anyone help with this? All works correct but i get this warning

[safe nest]

I believe it's Option with an uppercase O

At least that's the only way I've ever seen it used

[slow dock]

annotation from upper letter?

[safe nest]

Oh, nvm, forgot about decorators

Not sure why pylint is doing that lmfao

[slow dock]

looks like PyCharm problem)

[safe nest]

That's goofy

[hasty cosmos]

If I'm doing bot development testing locally, and run my main.py with updated code, is it necessary for bot users to reset their discord for updates to reflect?

[lofty parcel]

For callbacks, no

For visual stuff like commands names, options names etc, could be

[hasty cosmos]

Ahh okay yeah I changed a command name, also some method for how the command's calling a backend database. It updated once I reset, just curious 🙂

Is there a delete_category() command, similar to create_category?

I couldn't find one in the docs

nor guild.py

[lofty parcel]

delete a channel category?

[hasty cosmos]

Yeah

[lofty parcel]

I think categories are treated as channels

So if you get the category, there should be a delete() method iirc

.rtfm Category

[sly karma]

that's very very useful, thank you!

[lofty parcel]

.rtfm delete_category

[sly karma]

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

[lofty parcel]

Looks like there's not

[hasty cosmos]

ahh so I can't use something like, discord.CategoryChannel.delete(category_id)?

oh I see

class discord.CategoryChannel(*, state, guild, data)

[lofty parcel]

delete() doesn't take any arguments

Just an optional reason

[hasty cosmos]

Nah but CategoryChannel does, I could do something like this?

class CategoryChannel(discord.abc.GuildChannel, Hashable):
    def __init__(
        self, *, state: ConnectionState, guild: Guild, data: CategoryChannelPayload
    ):
        self._state: ConnectionState = state
        self.id: int = int(data["id"])
        self._update(guild, data)

Obviously I'd need to update how I'm getting guild and data payload im not exactly sure how to yet, but I'm also clueless if this is proper 🤣
await discord.CategoryChannel(guild=ctx.guild, data=category_id).delete()

it worked

category_channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(category_id)
if isinstance(category_channel, discord.CategoryChannel):
      await category_channel.delete()```

[lofty parcel]

You're editing the library code?

[hasty cosmos]

No

[lofty parcel]

Oh lol

[hasty cosmos]

just using delete() by grabbing the payload category channel 🙂

Although it would be nice to have a delete_category to complement create_category

I wouldn't mind working on adding that to lib it wouldn't be that difficult

[lofty parcel]

I'm sure there's no such method because of the way I said

Just like how delete_channel doesn't exist (I think)

[hasty cosmos]

It doesn't, I'm saying adding it to guild.py would make sense though

I don't know how to contribute to the lib though

    def _add_channel(self, channel: GuildChannel, /) -> None:
        self._channels[channel.id] = channel

    def _remove_channel(self, channel: Snowflake, /) -> None:
        self._channels.pop(channel.id, None)```
It'd be like this, excelt create_category, and delete_category

[lofty parcel]

Fork the repo, add the code, add a pull request, wait for review

[hasty cosmos]

Sounds good thanks

[slender lantern]

Is there a way to see if a user has permission to run a specific slash command in a given channel?

[daring grove]

essentially, after a few minutes or so my buttons stop working and say 'interaction failed' - i want to keep them working

[daring grove]

how would i do this?

[lofty parcel]

Because they timeout after 3 minutes

If you don't want a timeout, pass timeout=None to the class

[daring grove]

any way to avoid this?

oh so is timeout by default 3 minutes?

[lofty parcel]

Buttons will still stop working after restarts.

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[daring grove]

yeah i know that

also one more thing

after a condition, i want to bot the run a command

[lofty parcel]

What

[daring grove]

like

i do a command and it sends this
as expected

however after the queue is full, i want the bot to automatically send another one

i dont want to have to run the command again

[lofty parcel]

Once there are 14 users?

[daring grove]

yeah

[lofty parcel]

Then you'd need to run a condition on your button callback

And send a new queue message

[daring grove]

alright

is there any way to just send a message in an interaction

without it being the response?

[lofty parcel]

interaction.channel.send?..

[daring grove]

right well im a bit silly

thank you for your wisdom

[brave ore]

is this a embed edited by markdown format? by flow official docs markdown 101 I cant create a embed like this, such as the image.

[lofty parcel]

Those are codeblocks

[brave ore]

I tried, but the code block created by me has no color like this.

[lofty parcel]

It's some syntax highlighting

[vague notch]

quick question, how do i remove the reply part of the message

context.send() works but it never finishes the command and it sends an error to the user

context.send_response() and .respond() both reply like that

[vague notch]

well i found a hack, it's sending a response with delete_after=0

it's not the best but it works

[lofty parcel]

You cant

[plucky ingot]

shit Im stuck up

@bot.command(description = "get members avatar")
async def avatar(ctx, user:str):
    user = ctx.user
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = "here is the avatar",
        color = discord.Color.dark_purple(),
    )
    embed.set_image(url = f"{user.dislay_avatar}")
    await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

how to let members to mention a person to get their avatar

[plucky ingot]

.send()

[vague notch]

but then the command hangs forever executing

[plucky ingot]

await ctx.send("hello")

[vague notch]

it sends the message but the command execution is stuck

and then sends an error

but yeah sending a response which disappears immediately fixed it

[daring valve]

Delete user = ctx.user?

[plucky ingot]

but the reply and the command is separate

[plucky ingot]

let me try

[plucky ingot]

its not work

I still can't input a value

[daring valve]

Change user:str to user:Member

[plucky ingot]

member is not defined

[daring valve]

Import Member

[plucky ingot]

no module name Member

[daring valve]

Bruh
Learn python?
You need to import Member from discord (pycord)

[lofty parcel]

Lmao

[opal hamlet]

i saw that

[lofty parcel]

Random sticker discords fault 😭

[opal hamlet]

what was that lol

sure sure

[lofty parcel]

You typehint discord.Member

[plucky ingot]

the bug fix already

and right now

it append another problem

[lofty parcel]

I wouldn't consider it a bug but ok

[plucky ingot]

It say 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'dislay_avatar'

ah wrong speeling

:>

[opal hamlet]

how would yall trigger a func or whatever from one bot in another bot? (main bot that triggers audio bots in different channels) WEbSockets or?

[lofty parcel]

That depends on the other bot

Not your bot

[opal hamlet]

it's always like that innit, rewriting your stuff to find out you have a typo

nah they all are my bot

they play alarm sounds in VC channels(Star Citizen Org/Fleet events)

currently using !1 / !joib/leave etc. since they can all listen to that, but i want my main bot to have buttons to trigger em

only way i'd know wold be Sockets, but maybe someone has a better idea

[plucky ingot]

ahhhhh
File "/app/./bot/bot.py", line 186, in avatar

embed.set_image(url = f"{user.display_avatar}")

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'display_avatar'

why Not work

Im mad

[opal hamlet]

user.display_avatar.url maybe?

[plucky ingot]

actually It have another thing

[opal hamlet]

since you aren 't passing the URL I guess

[plucky ingot]

I can't let member input a member to get their avatar

[opal hamlet]

what are you trying to do?

[plucky ingot]

a member choose the command call avatar
they mention a user and the bot will send out that member's avatar

[opal hamlet]

well i can send you my func that does that if you want

                       description='Fetches a users avatar.'
                       )
    async def get_avatar(self, ctx, 
                         member: Option(discord.Member)
                         ):
        """
        Retrieves a user's Avatar.
        """   
        asset = member.avatar.url
        await ctx.respond(asset)```

replace utility tho, thats just a command group

[plucky ingot]

oklet me try

[opal hamlet]

member: Option(discord.Member) this is neat tho because it only lets users pick members/users

[plucky ingot]

I can't send the image out

[heavy sky]

Show the code

[plucky ingot]

@bot.command(name='useravatar',description='Fetches a users avatar.')
async def get_avatar(self, ctx, member: discord.Option(discord.Member)):
    user = ctx.user.id
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = f"here is <@{user}> avatar",
        color = discord.Color.dark_purple(),
    )
    asset = member.avatar.url
    await ctx.respond(asset,embed=embed)

[heavy sky]

Are you getting any errors?

when you're trying to execute the command?

[plucky ingot]

TypeError: get_avatar() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

[heavy sky]

Do you have this code in a cog or in the main file?

If it is in the main file, remove self

[plucky ingot]

same

even I remove self

[heavy sky]

Try this

@bot.command(name='useravatar',description='Fetches a users avatar.')
async def get_avatar(ctx, member:discord.Member):
    user = member.id
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = f"here is <@{user}> avatar",
        color = discord.Color.dark_purple(),
    )
    asset = member.avatar.url
    await ctx.respond(asset,embed=embed)```

[plucky ingot]

It work thank everyone

[plucky ingot]

actually I add somthing on it and here is how the code look like right now

@bot.command(name='useravatar',description='Fetches a users avatar.')
async def get_avatar(ctx, member:discord.Member):
    user = ctx.user
    embed = discord.Embed(
        color = discord.Color.dark_purple(),
    )
    asset = member.display_avatar.url
    embed.add_field(name=f"Here is the person avatar", value=f"{user.display_name}", inline=True)
    embed.set_image(url=asset)
    embed.set_footer(text="DO NOT USE THIS COMMAND TO ABUSE DISCORD TOS")
    await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

Im trying to let the bot printing and person mention's username and his avatar

[heavy sky]

👍

[plucky ingot]

is it have any funtion to do that

like this the what it look like right now
but the bot is showing my name instead of its username

[heavy sky]

Yeah, that's because you're setting user to ctx.user, not to member. So you can basically just get rid of user=ctx.user and modify add_field to look like this embed.add_field(name=f"Here is the person avatar", value=f"{member.display_name}", inline=True)

[plucky ingot]

oh

yea

Im bad at logic lol

[heavy sky]

lol

How to use pip install Import option for slash commands?

[shadow bear]

    @commands.Cog.listener("on_message")
    async def on_message(self, message: discord.Message):
        log.debug("Received new message: %r", message)

Is there anything glaringly wrong I'm doing here? The event is supposedly firing however my handler isn't getting it

[2023-08-23 15:15:12 DEBUG] discord.gateway: For Shard ID None: WebSocket Event: {'t': 'MESSAGE_CREATE', ...}
[2023-08-23 15:15:12 DEBUG] discord.client: Dispatching event socket_event_type
[2023-08-23 15:15:12 DEBUG] discord.client: Dispatching event message

that's it

(The cog is loaded, [2023-08-23 15:14:53 INFO] cogs.counting: Counting cog loaded is further up)

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def foo(msg):
    logging.debug("msg: %r", msg)

This also isn't firing anything

[lofty parcel]

Do you have intents?

[shadow bear]

discord.Intents.all()

and in dev portal

regardless, its still claiming to be dispatching the event

but no listeners are picking up on it

ctx.respond returns Interaction, you'll want await msg.edit_original_response

[little cobalt]

there is a better way to do it

[shell radish]

and probably don’t name it msg

[shadow bear]

there is?

[little cobalt]

You can use ctx.edit(content="")

[shadow bear]

Oh ctx.edit does weird shit to my ide I avoid it

ctx.edit(embed=embed2)

instead of msg.edit

[little cobalt]

that would edit the message

[shadow bear]

it edits the original interaction last time I checked

[shadow bear]

An alias for what I said

[shell radish]

You sent it with ctx

[shadow bear]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/commands/context.py#L334-L335

    @property
    @discord.utils.copy_doc(Interaction.edit_original_response)
    def edit(self) -> Callable[..., Awaitable[InteractionMessage]]:
        return self.interaction.edit_original_response

it just does what i said but shorter

[shell radish]

could you show how your bot object is defined

[shadow bear]

bot = commands.Bot(
    commands.when_mentioned_or("j!", "J!"),
    help_command=commands.MinimalHelpCommand(),
    case_insensitive=True,
    intents=discord.Intents.all(),
    debug_guilds=getattr(config, "DEBUG_GUILDS", None),
)
bot.loop.run_until_complete(db.registry.create_all())
bot.load_extension("cogs.counting")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    logging.info("Bot ready")
    print(f"Logged in as {bot.user} ({bot.user.id})")


bot.run(config.TOKEN)

Weirdly enough, the @bot.listen listener works when debug_guilds is None

but the cog listener is still doing nothing

[shell radish]

I think you’re supposed to use “message” instead of ”on_message”

[shadow bear]

That seems like a drastic change, its always been on_message afaik

I'm on 2.4.1

two seconds

Nope, still nadda with just message

[shell radish]

What type of cog are you using?

[shadow bear]

commands.Cog

[little cobalt]

btw, also add strip_after_prefix=True to your bot x3

[shell radish]

did you super().__init__() it?

[shadow bear]

class CountingCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot: commands.Bot = bot
        ...
        log.info("Counting cog loaded")

    @commands.Cog.listener("message")
    async def message(self, message: discord.Message):
        log.debug("Received new message: %r", message)
        ...


def setup(bot):
    return CountingCog(bot)

no i did not

I forgot about that

I feel dumb now, thanks

[shadow bear]

Oh yes, that would be a good idea

tbf most of the text commands will be admin related stuff so the slash commands don't get cluttered up, its not a big deal

weird, even with super().__init__(), its not doing anything

also according to the doc, super() isn't needed

[little cobalt]

the event is called on_message but you overwrite it at the () with message

so change it both to on_message or change message at the () to "on_message"

[shadow bear]

I've tried both combos

    @commands.Cog.listener("on_message")
    async def on_message(self, message: discord.Message):

this is it now

[2023-08-23 15:37:25 DEBUG] discord.client: Dispatching event socket_event_type
[2023-08-23 15:37:25 DEBUG] discord.client: Dispatching event message

this is all im getting

I'll re-add the @bot.listen two secs

I'm not even getting the message

[2023-08-23 15:39:05 DEBUG] discord.client: Dispatching event message
[2023-08-23 15:39:05 INFO] root: Root got message: <Message id=... >

This is what I get if I use @bot.listen

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def on_message_2(msg: discord.Message):
    logging.info("Root got message: %r", msg)

So this gets it

but not @commands.Cog.listener

[little cobalt]

Do you have more than one on_messageevent?

[shadow bear]

nope

that's it

Hold on

the cog isn't in bot.cogs?

OH

HOLD ON

IM NOT DOING bot.add_cog IN SETUP

I'm returning it instead

god my knowledge of this library is dusty

omg it works now

Honest to god im a moron sometimes

thanks all

[shell radish]

well try using

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message: discord.Message):

edit: ignore

oops messages didn't load

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

not sure what you're using, but setup_hook doesn't exist

[little cobalt]

isnt it one of the dpy or other ones?

Its from dpy

[shell radish]

what does your code look like?

Do you know OOP?

yeah you should learn that before pycord

object-oriented programming

[opal hamlet]

thats something ive been wondering about with selectmenus, probably gotta call self.remove_item(button_func_name) or smth in the View Class

[ancient cosmos]

Listener methods defined in cogs get name-mangled or otherwise abstracted, right? That way, they run in parallel with other listeners from another cog, or at the bot level, with the same method name (i.e. listening for the same event), instead of overriding one another?

[lofty parcel]

self.remove_item(button)?..

[lofty parcel]

Yes. They're parallel. They don't override the main bot event

I can't read your mind or your pc. Just saying "doesn't work" doesn't help anyone

Nor yourself

You send the traceback and relevant code

You have to edit the message with the new view

Otherwise you're not reflecting changes

Try it and see

New code?

self.stop() must be in the bottom

Is that your whole code?...

Sounds like you're trying to respond twice

How do you expect me to help without relevant code

Please show the full traceback

You're doing send_message and edit_message

Either send a follow up

Or interaction.edit_original_message

Error is self explanatory

That means most of the time you took to long to respond

[little cobalt]

you could defer it and see if its happening again

[fleet cedar]

Are you trying to remove all buttons?

Just pass None to the view parameter

[opal hamlet]

lets say i have a list with names(of .mp3 files that can be played) how would i create a selectoption for each entry in that list and append it to a view?

worst case i'll have to hardcode it

[fleet cedar]

you could iterate over the files and add those to the options

[opal hamlet]

i tried somethign similar a bit ago but i failed miserably at appending shit

or rather what exactly would i append? would i just do

    def __init__(self,bot):
      self.bot = bot

    def other_def(self):
      self.add_item(discord.SelectOption(placeholder='name')```

[daring grove]

How would I do ctx.invoke in a callback for a button?

[fleet cedar]

you would rather do smth like

class MySelect(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(...):
        ...
        my_list = []
        for ...:
            my_list.append(...)
        
        my_select_menu.options = my_list

    @discord.ui.select(...) # pass anything random to the choices here
    async def my_select_menu(...):
        ...

[opal hamlet]

So just basically have placeholder option(s) in the select that'll be overriden? Thanks!

[fleet cedar]

yep

[opal hamlet]

Thanks alot

[upper hearth]

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(1, 15, discord.ext.commands.BucketType.user)
i put this on a slash command but it does not do anything

you can spam it and it works

[fleet cedar]

can you show the order of the decorators

[upper hearth]

    @discord.slash_command(name="vote", description="Vote for rewards!")
    async def vote(self, ctx):```

oh does it need to go after

[fleet cedar]

very likely

[upper hearth]

yea works now thanks

[daring grove]

i got pinged?

[daring grove]

^^
essentially after someone presses a button, I would like a command to run again

[lapis dock]

It would be easier to have a function that has all the code for the command and then call the function in both the command callback and button callback

[opal hamlet]

        self.audioselect.options = self.options

    @discord.ui.select(placeholder='Select an option', options=[discord.SelectOption(label='Select an option', value='Placeholder')])
    async def audioselect(self, select, interaction):
        select.disabled=True
        selval = select.values[0]
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Selected: {selval}')```okay so i cant get it to work :/ no matter what i've tried

[lofty parcel]

You'll just find it easier to subclass the select instead

[opal hamlet]

so instead of discord.ui.View just use discord.ui.Select or wdym?

[lofty parcel]

Yes.

So you can dynamically set options

[opal hamlet]

that honestly sounds like a tomorrow-me problem 🤷 thanks ill try that tomorrow

[daring grove]

how would i manage ctx in that function?

[shell radish]

use interaction instead

[daring grove]

in a separate function?

[shell radish]

I don't know your exact implementation or implementation you have in mind

[daring grove]

on a button callback, i want the bot to re-run a command

[shell radish]

I don't know how you plan to implement what wolfy said

[daring grove]

just create a function which has the code for the command and run that function in the button callback

[shell radish]

so is it like

async def command(ctx):
  await func(ctx)

async def callback(...):
  await func(interaction)

or

async def command(ctx):
  foo

async def callback(...):
  foo

[fleet cedar]

Huh that's weird. This method is supposed to work

Oh right call super init at the top of your init

[deft kestrel]

Hi, I'm having a really dumb issue where the command shows but not the options. I know that the command is updating every time I restart the bot (the description changes when I change it), but no matter what I write, the zone option never shows up.

async def timezone_autocomplete(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
    user_input = ctx.options.get("zone", "").lower()

    matching_timezones = [tz for tz in pytz.all_timezones if user_input in tz.lower()]
    return matching_timezones[:25]

timezone_option = discord.Option(description="Pick an optional me.", autocomplete=timezone_autocomplete)

@time_group.command(name="set", description="Set your timezone for us to show your current time.")
    async def time_set_slash(self, zone: timezone_option):
        pass

I've also tried making it a string option only (no type) but it still doesn't show up. I've tried changing the command name and making it a single command instead of a subcommand but it doesn't work. I'm on 2.3.2.

[deft kestrel]

the option doesn't matter, I removed the option and it still didn't show up

like the discord.Option type

[safe nest]

you'll want to use discord.Option instead of directly saying the autocomplete

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash options example.

[safe nest]

there's an example on the github :)

[deft kestrel]

alright I'll try it

[safe nest]

if you still can't get it working after looking through those feel free to come back o/

[deft kestrel]

it's okay i just realised why it didn't show up, I didn't have ctx inside the arguments

[safe nest]

it still wouldn't show up, even if you add ctx afaik

[junior spire]

so I am trying to create my own context in this example, I can get the paginator to send, but it will not respond let you move pages, interaction failed.

any ideas or suggestions?

I am fairly new to paginators and I am creating my own context so I can send an automatic paginator from a function that is timed.

[fleet cedar]

Disable author check

Why not use ctx.respond btw?

That works for slash cmds

[junior spire]

I wont have ctx.respond available. This is just an example. When it actually works, I would have a function (non slash command) that auto sends a paginator to a specific channel.

How do i disable author check?

ah

Dude that worked. You are amazing, thank you !

[fleet cedar]

Sorry I meant paginator.respond

But yea the author check thing works

Is it possible that if an option uses autocomplete=, the input MUST be something from the autocomplete?

For example, I have an 'emoji' input that uses a library to import a bunch of emojis. However, in the command the user can still input any string and have it run which isn't correct for my use.

    @option(
        name="emoji",
        parameter_name="emoji",
        autocomplete=emoji_autocomplete,
        description="default=👍",
        required=False
    )```

[brave ore]

Why custom emojis can't use :<CUSTOM EMOJI NAME>: format to send from Bot?

[hasty cosmos]

You can make a function that takes in an input :Custom emoji name: and returns <:custom emoji name:id>, I think that's how I handled my guild emojis in the autocomplete option I just posted about lol

[hasty cosmos]

and its because discord API works off id's, not names

rip

How do I validate the input value against the autocomplete result before the user invokes a command? I don't want them to be able to invoke it unless if the option is from the autocomplete results.

[fleet cedar]

Unfortunately discord treats autocomplete as just a "suggestion"

[hasty cosmos]

Np I can just send a warning response even if its a less elegant, thanks for the halp 🙂

[solemn ice]

how do i send a message in a specific channel with slash commands and not on_message?

[heavy sky]

You can just get/fetch the channel and send the message to that channel

.rtfm discord.Bot.get_channel

[sly karma]

3 results

discord.Bot.get_channel
discord.ext.bridge.Bot.get_channel
discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[solemn ice]

well, i have the channel but idk how to send a message in it

channel.send or channel.respond dosent work

[heavy sky]

Are you doing something like:

channel = bot.get_channel(...)
channel.send("Test")```

[heavy sky]

Can you show the code for how you're getting/fetching the channel as well?

[solemn ice]

i loop through the channels

and see if rules is in channel.name.lower()

[heavy sky]

And are you getting any errors when the bot tries to send the message to the channel?

[solemn ice]

yes

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'CategoryChannel' object has no attribute 'respond'

[heavy sky]

Ah, that means that the bot found a category called "rules" (and the bot can't send messages to a category)

[solemn ice]

ohh i see the issue

i needed to loop through guild.text_channels

[heavy sky]

yep

[solemn ice]

thanks for the help 😄

[heavy sky]

No problems 😄

[fleet cedar]

Why not use the channel id to get the channel 👀

[solemn ice]

well im trying to make an ai based server creator and i want the whole procces automatic

[sly pebble]

hey all, is there way to make it so discord.Bot responds to all mentions (e.g. @sly pebble and replies)?

just found self.bot.user.mentioned_in(message), but curious of any other possibly more efficient ways

[old violet]

this is my one of the cog file
but slash commands not showing in bot
I checked everything

Are you loading the cog in the main file?

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.

[opal hamlet]

works 👍

[old violet]

yes

[heavy sky]

And you don't have discord.py or another library installed?
The bot is invited with the applications.commands scope, the cog is loading before bot.run() and you're not using legacy chat input?

[old violet]

Iam loading cogs in on_read

I changed it now

yes that is the problem

now working

[heavy sky]

Nice 😄

[daring grove]

first one

let's say my command beans sends a message with 2 buttons, when someone presses a button i want it to run beans again in the callback

[shell radish]

ctx.interaction returns an Interaction object

[ancient cosmos]

If I set up a slash command option with input_type = discord.SlashCommandOptionType.attachment, what will the callback function actually get for that argument? A discord.Attachment?

[ancient cosmos]

Okay, I'm actually having the same problem as the OP in this thread: https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1050319151324999690

Mods, would you prefer that I create a new thread or necro the old one?

[little cobalt]

I would use discord.Attachment

[ancient cosmos]

Yeah, I've swapped to that, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. (I can post code, but I wanted to wait to see what to do about a dedicated help thread before dropping links/dumps.)

[little cobalt]

that is weird

If you want you can open a new thread

[daring grove]

right

[ancient cosmos]

let me flip the log level to debug to make sure that the gateway is echoing the option type correctly, but if it's calling back with 11, yeah, I'll make a new thread (Edit: Yeah, it looks correct. Created https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1144332503683956746)

[shadow bear]

Is there an ApplicationCommand equivelant of discord.ext.commands.Command.can_run?

there is not

[little cobalt]

Have you already tried to find it?

[shadow bear]

Did a cursory look through docs

but

nothing really

[elfin quarry]

bans = await guild.bans(limit=1) is returning BanIterator can't be used in 'await' expression, am i missing something?

[lofty parcel]

.flatten()

https://dark.hates-this.place/i/gkfZ3s.png

[elfin quarry]

oh

thank you!

[gusty rover]

I'm not getting any intellisense in vscode for anything related to ctx. anyone got any ideas?

[lofty parcel]

What

[shadow bear]

Did you type it?

[gusty rover]

yeah I'll write for example @bot.command() async def record(ctx): voice =ctx.author.voice and when I type "ctx.a" nothing pops up

[lofty parcel]

ctx: discord.ApplicationContext

You typehint to let the ide know what it is

[gusty rover]

cheers

[harsh gust]

so if i create a group using bot.create_group do i create it in main file or the cog file that i need it in if i use cogs and use separate files for them

[heavy sky]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.sync_commands

[fleet cedar]

The bot.create_group method doesn't work in cogs

Cogs have a different way to deal with slash groups

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[harsh gust]

that sucks

[harsh gust]

alr

[little cobalt]

Do you want to sync the commands after a restart of the bot?

[little cobalt]

Errors?

K

[hasty cosmos]

I see I think I figured it out, nevermind. It has to do with something irrelevant to the channel creation

[lapis dock]

Pycord automatically sync commands when the code is restarted. You don't need to override on_connect your self.

[little cobalt]

.slashnoshow

[sly karma]

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.

[lapis dock]

Do you load the cog properly with no errors?

[deft kestrel]

I'm trying to get users from a database. How can I skip the user's selection if he is logged out of the server?

[ancient cosmos]

I'm assuming you've got something in your except block?

[deft kestrel]

?

[ancient cosmos]

The code you posted says:

try:
  member = await ctx.guild.fetch_member(int(data[0]))
except discord.errors.NotFound:

And then it stops there. That's not valid Python code just like that, because there needs to be an indented block after the except statement, even if it's just a pass statement that doesn't do anything (it's a statement that exists to tell Python that "there's intentionally nothing here").

So I'm asking - what do you have after that except statement? Or is that not code that actually runs, and you're trying to write that section now?

[scenic crescent]

Is it possible to get the component that is used in the interaction_check function of a view? If i´m correct I can´t because I only get the Interaction

[opal hamlet]

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

                print(e)     
            await asyncio.sleep(60)``` chan remains None and i have 0 clue why

[shell radish]

If get returns None, that means it isn't cached

[opal hamlet]

fetch_channel then?

[shell radish]

try

chan = self.bot.get_channel(1144369985305726977) or await self.bot.fetch_channel(1144369985305726977)

Basically, this checks if it's None. If so, then fetch it

If not, don't fetch it

I would probably wrap a try-except around it to handle Discord server errors

[foggy gull]

[little cobalt]

?tag aiohttp

[limber wagon]

Use aiohttp.
requests and urllib are blocking. Do not use these libraries within your asynchronous code as they're not asynchronous.
(https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean)

Py-cord uses aiohttp, so it should already be installed. An example of code using aiohttp and Py-cord:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:
    async with cs.get('https://httpbin.org/json%27') as r:
        res = await r.json()  # returns dict
        await ctx.send(res['slideshow']['author']) 

For more help, see aiohttp's documentation: https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/

[foggy gull]

What should i use other than ‘requests’

[little cobalt]

aiohttp

[foggy gull]

Ok

[foggy gull]

Doesnt help

I still get the same error

Its the awaits in the getting the user and then sending the user a message

[little cobalt]

The aiohttp was at least for using async

[foggy gull]

I was using both

Its async and await??

[foggy gull]

I was using async

[little cobalt]

Not with request x3

[foggy gull]

Wha

[foggy gull]

Can u explain

[little cobalt]

which request do you use?

[meager iron]

Any simple way to search for messages containing certain phrases through all channels, all time?

[foggy gull]

What i was using requests but i tried to change to aiohttp but it still came up with the error

[grim estuary]

Hello! How often can the guild banner be updated?

There was such an error and loop stopped updating

[little cobalt]

That looks like a ratelimit

[grim estuary]

Loop ran every 2 minutes, but the banner was updated only with the change of information. Perhaps it happened that the information was quickly updated

I want to know the exact limit

[little cobalt]

I know that the channel name change limit 10 minutes is

[grim estuary]

About banners I heard that 3 minutes

[lapis dock]

iirc discord does not document specific ratelimits due to them being changed often. Pycord is supposed to handel that for you

[grim estuary]

What should I do?

[edgy nest]

it looks more like 'nothing happened here so lets just get rid of that'

a ratelimit would have status 429

[little cobalt]

oh ok

[grim estuary]

How to understand it?

[dusk flume]

How can i use the command context to output the required permissions needed to run a slash command. I used command.checks to output all the checks however it outputs something like this:

<function has_permissions.<locals>.predicate at 0x1062eb4c0> (this is for a kick command)

What can i do to get the required permissions in words. (kick_members)

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks

[torpid cosmos]

Quick python question

i have some info that i want to display in one variable, in a dict or list
the info I need is a user ID, thread ID, and webhook ID
The problem is I want both a user and thread to be able to refer to each other, both being able to have the webhook also attached
Something like
Thread(ID, Webhook) -> User(ID)
I was thinking of something like a list of tuples maybe, but that wouldn't be very performant and itd also be ugly
any ideas?

[ancient cosmos]

Frankly, gin up a class for it

Especially if you care about cleanliness, and especially since you're probably going to want to set up @property stuff for it, from the use-cases you're saying

[dusk flume]

[grim estuary]

Hello. How to use await ctx.defer()? This option doesn't work:

await ctx.defer()
await ctx.respond(...)```
And this
```py
await ctx.defer()
await ctx.followup.send(...)

[dusk flume]

If you want to defer a button, you use interaction.response.defer

[grim estuary]

I want to defer slash_command

[heavy sky]

Can you show the code for the command you have right now?

[dusk flume]

Yeah. I don’t exactly know what your trying to defer

[grim estuary]

@client.slash_command(description="View your or someone else's reputation profile.")
async def rep_profile(ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
    # command code
    await ctx.defer()
    await ctx.respond(file=file, view=Profile(ctx.author, member))

[heavy sky]

You need to put the defer in the beggining of the command for it to actually help

[dusk flume]

Send the relevant part

[grim estuary]

Thank you! That helped

[heavy sky]

No problems 😄

[grim estuary]

One more small question. How to get member status? Not online / Do not disturb status, text under a username in a profile

[heavy sky]

Are you loading the cog?

[grim estuary]

Have you used setup() in cog? load_extension() in main file?

In your main file you should have an entry like this:

bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.load_extension("Cogs.Cogname")

In cog:

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Cogname(bot))```

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).

I can't find the status attribute, I understand that it's impossible to access it

[summer scroll]

Hi, can someone explain me how to get all users that have a certain role, and all users that have the roles above pls

[fleet cedar]

overriding on_connect?

or specified a guild id?

[grim estuary]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Role.members

Use a cycle if you need to list the members of multiple roles. Don't forget to exclude copies of members

[opal hamlet]

how can i "ignore" the interaction of a button? or rather prevent discord from complaining about app not responding

[upper hearth]

await interaction.response.defer() i think

[fleet cedar]

this is the way

[opal hamlet]

yeah, thanks!

dont need my bot to tell me if sound x is playing when i can hear it lol

[little cobalt]

you still have to interact to a button x3

[shadow bear]

If I reply to the interaction from discord.ui.Button, how do I edit the message that the button is attached to?

e.g.

@discord.ui.button(...)
async def foo(...)
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hello")
    btn.disalbed = True
    await interaction.edit_original_response(content="Done")
    # ^ This edits the `interaction.response.send_message`, not the message the button is attached to

[little cobalt]

?

[shadow bear]

my scenario here is I'm replying to the user who pressed the button with an ephemeral message.
I then want to update the original message, however, after responding to the interaction, edit_original_response edits the ephemeral message, not the original message

[fleet cedar]

Nope. You can defer and forget buttons

Not for slash cmds tho

[little cobalt]

oh, did they changed it? or was it always like that?

[fleet cedar]

it was always like that

[sharp zealot]

what was the time thing to do this

Pls help

[lofty parcel]

Where are you using this

[dusk flume]

In a help command. For the extra info of each command I want to display required perms of that command

[lofty parcel]

.rtfm command.permissions

[sly karma]

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

[dusk flume]

Wait is that a thing

It wasn’t in docs

[lofty parcel]

No it doesn't

[dusk flume]

Oh ok. So what could I use to get this data

[lofty parcel]

Doesn't look like you can

SlashCommand has default_member_permissions

[dusk flume]

When I run command.checks for a kick command, it outputs this:

<function has_permissions.<locals>.predicate at 0x1062eb4c0> (this is for a kick command)

What does this mean? In the docs the command.checks said it will output all the checks the command does. One such check is that the user has kick perms

So what does that mean

Idk lol

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks

[lofty parcel]

Checks are functions

It's returning a list of predicates

[dusk flume]

Ohhhh.

[lofty parcel]

Which is essentially what checks are

[dusk flume]

So there is no way I can return the perms of a command

[lofty parcel]

.

Ig you'd just need to store them by yourself

[dusk flume]

Ok.

Kinda sad lol. I thought I made an automated help command in like 10 lines of code 💀💀

Maybe dictionary for storing

Tried to follow the grouped commands in cogs to have grouped bridge commands in a cog, but not getting exaxtly what I expected. Is there specific examples of this?

[slender cloak]

im trying to make a custom command check, is it possible for me to refernce self.client or just client in it?

def is_mod():
  async def check_roles(self, ctx):
     db = self.client.check_db()
     
     if role in ctx.author.roles or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator or ctx.author.id == ctx.guild.owner:
               return True
     else:
               return False
  return commands.check(check_roles)

db = self.client.check_db()

basically im wondering if i can do the above and if so how

[torpid cosmos]

can i ask where this function is located

@slender cloak do you have any code implemented at the moment?

[slender cloak]

class Mod(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    def is_mod():
      async def check_roles(self, ctx):
         db = self.client.check_db()
     
         if role in ctx.author.roles or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator or ctx.author.id == ctx.guild.owner:
               return True
          else:
               return False
       return commands.check(check_roles)

[torpid cosmos]

so first of all your is_mod function would have the self argument, check_roles wouldn't have that

and thats about it

[slender cloak]

ah ok

[torpid cosmos]

remember that any function in a class would have self as its first argument, unless it's a static method

[slender cloak]

ok gotcha

[shell radish]

which would have cls instead

[torpid cosmos]

no that's a classmethod

staticmethods dont have any class-related arguments

[shell radish]

static = class methods?

or am I java-pilled

[torpid cosmos]

you're java-pilled

class methods are used to create an instance of that class

a static method can be used regardless of whether you are using it with an instance of that class or not

[shell radish]

example?

[torpid cosmos]

class Animal:
    def __init__(self, animal_type):
        self.animal_type = animal_type

    def print_type(self):
        print(f"The type of this animal is {self.animal_type}.")
    
    @classmethod
    def construct_animal(cls, animal_type):
        return cls(animal_type)

    @staticmethod
    def suggest_animal():
        print(f"Here is a random animal: {random.random_animal()}")

my_animal = Animal.construct_animal("Bear")
my_animal.print_type()
>> "The type of this animal is Bear."
my_animal.suggest_animal()
>> "Here is a random animal: Rabbit"

Animal.print_type()
>> Error
Animal.suggest_animal()
>> "Here is a random animal: Cat"

[kind olive]

the docs are confusing me. How do I make a slash command that has a bool choice?

[slender cloak]

class Mod(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    def is_mod(self):
      async def check_roles(ctx):
         db = self.client.check_db()
     
         if role in ctx.author.roles or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator or ctx.author.id == ctx.guild.owner:
               return True
          else:
               return False
       return commands.check(check_roles)

so like this?

[torpid cosmos]

yeah looks like it

[slender cloak]

and then further down i could say do

@slash_command()
@is_mod()

[kind olive]

also for a slash command to work right away, do I need to set a guild or specifically not set one

[shell radish]

btoh work

[torpid cosmos]

for it to register immediately you'd need to set a debug guild

[slender cloak]

im getting

TypeError: Mod.is_mod() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

[torpid cosmos]

if they are global they can take up to 1 hour but most likely will not

[shell radish]

that was changed a year ago 💀

[torpid cosmos]

oh what

[kind olive]

[torpid cosmos]

really?

ive been living under a rock i guess

[kind olive]

so can anyone answer my first question?

yeah it'll just show them both

[slender cloak]

@torpid cosmos

[torpid cosmos]

did you remember to save and restart your code

[slender cloak]

yeah its when i am trying to reload the cog via Jishku

[kind olive]

?

[torpid cosmos]

more like

custom: discord.Option(discord.SlashCommandOptionType.boolean)``` i think

i think you can also just use bool

instead of the whole enum

[kind olive]

sweet thanks

[torpid cosmos]

oh shoot yeah i figured

wait

what

i dont remember typing half of that

im going nuts

anyway

[slender cloak]

lmao

[torpid cosmos]

do you want to show me how you write that part of the command in combination with the class

[slender cloak]

sure

but somethings wrong with my command check tho right

[torpid cosmos]

maybe

i dont know what you mean

[slender cloak]

well im getting that error

[torpid cosmos]

oh yeah thats probably because of just the way its being used

im trying to figure it out but the puzzle pieces aren't fitting together for some reason in my head

the hamster is very much alive hes just not spinning the wheel

class Mod(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    def is_mod(self):
      async def check_roles(ctx):
         db = self.client.check_db()
     
         if role in ctx.author.roles or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator or ctx.author.id == ctx.guild.owner:
               return True
          else:
               return False
       return commands.check(check_roles)
    
    @slash_command()
    @is_mod()
    async def my_command(self, ...):
        ...

something like that is what you have rn?

[slender cloak]

yes

[torpid cosmos]

okay yeah that makes sense

so that decorator is basically just not getting a reference to the class

[slender cloak]

wdym?

[torpid cosmos]

uh like
you know how when you use a method of a function its usually

self.func()

well when using a decorator it isnt getting that class instance passed anywhere

it isnt getting its self

like a baby boy without a blankie

[slender cloak]

ohh ok

so is it possible to use self or even just client/bot?

[torpid cosmos]

im going to say yes

it has to be

it must

im just thinking of how

@shell radish help

i know ive faced this same problem before
and i thought i solved it somehow

goose theres a reason i dont have that shiny pink helper role

[slender cloak]

lmao but ur staff so that says something

[torpid cosmos]

exactly

oh wait

@slender cloak can you try removing the parenthesis

though i think that might not work

[slender cloak]

in what spot?

[torpid cosmos]

the decorator

@is_mod

[slender cloak]

ok

[torpid cosmos]

no that wont work as far as i know

[slender cloak]

now im getting

method(extension)
discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.mod' raised an error: TypeError: Callback must be a coroutine.

[torpid cosmos]

yeah lol

nope

oh wait a minute

thats a check

@slash_command(checks=[is_mod])```

add that to your slash command decorator and remove the is_mod decorator

[slender cloak]

ok

[torpid cosmos]

id say you cant edit ephemeral messages but i dont think thats true

can you show me a little more of your code

[slender cloak]

the cog reloaded now im gonna check the commands

so the command worked but the check either returned True falsely or it didnt run the check im not sure

[torpid cosmos]

Throw some prints in that bad boy

Print inside of the function

Print inside of the check

Print inside of the conditionals

Print the conditions

[slender cloak]

alr lol

nah nothing printed so i dont think its running the check

[torpid cosmos]

not even the top level one in is_mod?

try making it not a list

though im pretty sure it expects a list

[slender cloak]

class Mod(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    def is_mod(self):
      async def check_roles(ctx):
         print("test")
         db = self.client.check_db()
     
         if role in ctx.author.roles or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator or ctx.author.id == ctx.guild.owner:
               return True
          else:
               return False
       return commands.check(check_roles)

i did this and nothing printed

i feel like there has to be a way to use self or client in a command check

[torpid cosmos]

Try to print right below the function definitioe

[slender cloak]

ok

still nothing

[torpid cosmos]

oh oms here to save the day

Lets tri

Make check_roles its own function and remove the overhead from is_mod

[slender cloak]

ok

[torpid cosmos]

so then itd be like

class Mod(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

  async def is_mod(self, ctx):
     print("test")
     db = self.client.check_db()
     
     if role in ctx.author.roles or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator or ctx.author.id == ctx.guild.owner:
           return True
      else:
           return False

possibly

maybe

uh

hm

i dont think thats enough context for us unfortunately

wheres callback at

[shell radish]

you need the original interaction object that sent the ephemeral message to edit the message

[torpid cosmos]

thats enough context for squid though

squids a g

[shell radish]

slight nitpick

class Mod(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

  async def is_mod(self, ctx):
     print("test")
     db = self.client.check_db()
     
-    if role in ctx.author.roles or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator or ctx.author.id == ctx.guild.owner:
-          return True
-     else:
-          return False
+     return role in ctx.author.roles or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator or ctx.author.id == ctx.guild.owner
``` but nothing to do with the actual cause of error

[shell radish]

🤥

[torpid cosmos]

behave yourself

[torpid cosmos]

whats with that formatting

[shell radish]

diff

[torpid cosmos]

well no baloney but how

did you make it colored

[shell radish]

diff

does

diff

[torpid cosmos]

oh shit thats rad

[shell radish]

should be blue and red because color blind

so you can either pass the interaction/context object to the view class or do a view.stop() and await view.wait()

[torpid cosmos]

i used to do something like

class mything:
    message: discord.Message
    ...

view = mything()
message = interaction.respond(view=view, ...)
view.message = message

[shell radish]

you still don't have the interaction object

[torpid cosmos]

You dont need it, you just need the message to be able to edit the message

[shell radish]

no, you need the interaction object to edit the ephemeral message

[torpid cosmos]

Though I believe I actually made a pr to add an edit_message function to the view

[shell radish]

or else view.message.edit would work

[torpid cosmos]

Ah yeah maybe it works different for ephemeral messages

[shell radish]

The error isn't message is None, it's that the message "doesn't exist"

how did you send the view?

ApplicationContext wraps an Interaction object

so, you would need that interaction or ApplicationContext object to edit the message

[torpid cosmos]

How's that coming goose

[slender cloak]

im just updating the code now

[shell radish]

You can get it by passing it into the view or waiting for the button to be pressed in the original command

[slender cloak]

TypeError: Mod.is_mod() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'self' and 'ctx'

now im getting this

[torpid cosmos]

Okay well I'm just retarded

[shell radish]

Put it outside of the cog?

and remove the self?

[torpid cosmos]

he needs the reference to the cog

[shell radish]

why?

[torpid cosmos]

he needs to access the bot object
