ive just uninstalled discord and discord.py

intents = discord.Intents.default()
AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Intents'

[heavy sky]

Try to re-install py-cord

[junior ember]

ok done

it works now

[heavy sky]

Nice

[fleet cedar]

Uninstall discord and discord.py
that will cause lots of troubles down the road

And then reinstall py-cord

is there any trick for using autocompletions for Optional arguments?

[slender surge]

can i have a tasks.loop within a button class?

[upper flint]

Why? I'm really curious

[lapis dock]

You could start a task within the button class. I don't know why it would need to be within the button class.

[lapis dock]

You would have to explain more. Is something not working right?

[harsh gust]

Autocompletions are for required arguments right? I want to use them for an optional argument for a slash command.

async def get_command():
    pass
@slash_command()
@option("lol" autocompletion=get_command)
async def ping(ctx, lol:Optional[str]="lol"):
    pass

I just wanna know if thete is any possible tricks to use autocompletions for optional arguments

And yes the arg has to be optional for that command

[red pagoda]

Hello, is it possible to retrive label and value from selected option in select_callback?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the dropdown example.

[lofty parcel]

@red pagoda

[red pagoda]

Isnt this one only retrieving value?

[lapis dock]

Autocomplete works fine with optional arguments.
Just fyi its autocomplete not autocompletion

[harsh gust]

[foggy gull]

if i get a guild from its id how can i check what roles a user has in that guild (i cant use ctx as its a button inside a dm)

[lapis dock]

Guild.get_member Remember that you may also need to try fetch_member too. With the member object you should be able to get roles

[foggy gull]

so would it be guild.get_member.roles

?

[lapis dock]

yeah, except you would need to actually pass a user id

[foggy gull]

thanks 🙂

[foggy gull]

and can you help with this: i have a flask server running and i need it so when i go to a url on the flask server (/verified) it send some messages to a user through their dms witht he discord id passed through the url.
This Is What I Have So Far:

@app.route('/verified')
async def verified():
  discordid = request.args.get('discordid')
  robloxuser = request.args.get('robloxusername')
  robloxid = request.args.get('robloxid')
  apiauth = request.args.get('apiauth')
  
  if apiauth == os.environ['API_AUTH']:
    user = await bot.get_user(discordid)
    user.send("test")
  else:
    return "no"

But When I Go To The Url I Get The Error: File "/home/runner/SchoolRpBot/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/asgiref/sync.py", line 353, in main_wrap result = await self.awaitable(*args, **kwargs) File "main.py", line 55, in verified user = await bot.get_user(discordid) TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression 172.31.196.1 - - [27/Aug/2023 17:40:52]

[little cobalt]

"NoneType"

[foggy gull]

?

[lapis dock]

how is bot defined?

[hybrid fossil]

Hi there!
Does anyone have an idea how to delete this message automatically?

[foggy gull]

bot = discord.Bot()

[foggy gull]

if thats what you mea

[foggy gull]

how do i fix that?

[lapis dock]

discordid is not None correct?

[foggy gull]

yeah

its my discord id

i checked by returning it

and it returned it fine

[lapis dock]

Somehow your bot is None

[foggy gull]

my whole code is here #1144683670066704505

[daring grove]

is there a way to fetch the emblem of a role in pycord?

[lapis dock]

Role.icon

[daring grove]

so like
role: discord.Role
role.icon?

like that?

[lapis dock]

👍

[daring grove]

okay great, tyvm

[daring grove]

also what is the icon stored as

[lapis dock]

Not sure. You will have to try it out

[daring grove]

sure ill try it when i get home

thank you

[vocal jacinth]

I see you are currently recommending the unstable branch to get support for new usernames. Is there an "implicitly stable" unstable branch, or is it just unstable and I gotta deal with that?

[lapis dock]

I have not got any reports of bugs in the master branch that are not also in the latest stable release. I would disable any sort of auto update so if a new bug does arise you will not pull it from the latest commit.

[vocal jacinth]

thanks

[fleet cedar]

get_user is not an async function

But user.send is. Await that

[foggy gull]

okk

How do you run the webserver and the bot?

[lofty parcel]

You're doing commands.command and I think it's trying to add it. But it's a Discord.Bot instance, it only handles slash commands

[fleet cedar]

You run the bot right? 💀

[foggy gull]

oh

replit

[fleet cedar]

There should be 1 of bot.run(...) or await bot.start(...) somewhere in your code. Where is that?

[foggy gull]

bot.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

[little cobalt]

I can already only tell by your code that you use Replit

[foggy gull]

thanks

[fleet cedar]

And the webserver?

[torpid stone]

i updated @commands.commands to @dicsord.bot

discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.greetings' raised an error: TypeError: 'module' object is not callable```

[lofty parcel]

Why did you do that

I didn't ask you to do that

[little cobalt]

Havent Jack already open a thread?

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[torpid stone]

aha im new to this so my understanding might be wrong but in my greetings.py i updated my "hello" that has a @command.command abouv it to discord.bot

[lofty parcel]

Besides the fact I didn't ask you to replace it.
Do you understand what each thing is?

discord.Bot is the bot instance

[fleet cedar]

Don't use flask with py-cord. Is it not meant to be used async and does weird stuff with the event loop. Use Quart instead. That's an async version of flask

[lofty parcel]

commands.command doesn't work for discord.Bot because it doesn't handle prefixed commands. And that's why it might be erroring

[little cobalt]

There is a async one for Flask

[torpid stone]

right, so the documentation is wrong? o7

[fleet cedar]

Quart is just async flask

[lofty parcel]

No?

The bot instance you're using doesn't support prefixed commands.

[little cobalt]

this one?

[lofty parcel]

?tag clients

[limber wagon]

No tag clients found.

[torpid stone]

followed this: https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs

[lofty parcel]

?tag client

[limber wagon]

discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)

[little cobalt]

yea ok x3

[foggy gull]

so what do i do because i need a apui command i can send a get request to and the bot sends a dm to a user

how do i do that then

[fleet cedar]

Swap flask with quart

Google how to use quart

It should be pretty similar

[foggy gull]

same error

welll it doesnt even work

[green kernel]

If I have a select menu/dropdown in a public channel (that's also tied to a button on the same message/view), are people's selections only visible to them?

[shell radish]

Whatever they select is just for them

[slender cloak]

so in my on_application_command_error I have the isinstance for CheckFailure but when that error occurs it doesnt work

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_application_command_error(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, error: discord.DiscordException):
      if isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
        embed = discord.Embed(title = "Error!" , description = f"There are no mod/admin roles set, or you don't have permission to use this command.", color = discord.Color.light_grey())
        try:
          await ctx.respond(embed=embed, ephemeral = True)
          pass
        except:
          pass

it just goes right to my else:

[sly quail]

to add args to the slash command do I just need to add extra args to the function or is it something else

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[sly quail]

Thanks

[slender cloak]

any ideas why?

[fleet cedar]

Try adding print(error, error.original, type(error)) at the start of the function

Iirc, Application command errors get wrapped inside a different error or some weird stuff like that

.rtfm on_application_command_error

i didnt try to fix that because it says NoneType so its not something that i can interact with, i think

[fleet cedar]

Just what you need from what I understand

[daring grove]

how do i get the name of a role with it's id?

like
role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, id=whatever) print(role.name)

[little cobalt]

Looks fine for me

[daring grove]

👍

Just having random pycord thoughts while on holiday...

[red pagoda]

Will check thx

[fiery stratus]

Should I serialize discord Messages and Channels using repr() or using their IDs?

[hazy turret]

Is there any way to disable all prefix commands?
So that I also get no error etc.?
Is there somehow a quick and easy method ?

[lapis dock]

Temporarily or you never want any prefix commands?

[hazy turret]

I never want to use a prefix command

[little cobalt]

use discord.Bot?

[hazy turret]

Okay if I change bot = commands.Bot to bot = discord.Bot then no prefix commands will be recognized right?
Then I also have to remove the command_prefix or?

[lapis dock]

yes

[little cobalt]

yea

[lapis dock]

Will will also likely have to switch command decorators to
@discord.slash_command

[hazy turret]

Okay everything works thanks! 🙂

[deft kestrel]

@bot.slash_command(description='dasdasd!!!', guild_ids=['x'])
async def suggest(ctx, suggestion):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title=f"New Suggestion by {ctx.author}",
        description=suggestion,
        color=2829617
    )
    channel = bot.get_channel()
    msg = await channel.send(embed=embed)
    await msg.add_reaction("👍")

why does it send an application did not respond error but it works?

[heavy sky]

you need to use ctx.respond for slash commands. instead of msg = await channel.send(embed=embed), do py await ctx.respond(embed=embed) msg = await ctx.original_response() await msg.add_reaction("👍")

[deft kestrel]

breaks, doesnt send it in the intended channel

[heavy sky]

ah, right, I missed that you wanted to send it to a certain channel. You'll have to send the message to the intented channel + respond to the interaction for it to not throw an error

[lapis dock]

Some thing like
await ctx.respond(content="Your Suggestion Was Posted") could work

[deft kestrel]

yeah i did that, sends but message above it still errors

one sec

[lapis dock]

can you send your code

[deft kestrel]

@bot.slash_command(description='suggest ton features!', guild_ids=['1144777754894676081'])
async def suggest(ctx, suggestion):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title=f"New Suggestion by {ctx.author}",
        description=suggestion,
        color=2829617
    )
    channel = bot.get_channel(1145716515006578862)
    msg = await channel.send(embed=embed)
    await ctx.send("Suggestion sent!")
    await msg.add_reaction("👍")
    await msg.add_reaction("👎")

[heavy sky]

You have to use ctx.respond not ctx.send to respond to a slash command

[deft kestrel]

alr works now, thanks

[heavy sky]

👍

[lapis dock]

another suggestion is to add ephemeral=True to the respond. This will hide it from other people so it does not create spam in that channel

[deft kestrel]

alr

[deft kestrel]

doesnt seem to work

@bot.slash_command(description='suggest ton features!', ephemeral=True, guild_ids=['1144777754894676081'])

[heavy sky]

You need to pass it to ctx.respond

[deft kestrel]

oh alr

[lapis dock]

Add it to the respond
await ctx.respond("Suggestion sent!", ephemeral=True)

[deft kestrel]

ok works now

ty

[red pagoda]

Follow up question, how do I delete that select option and replace it with embed and still keep input so I dont get "Couldnt load message"

[hazy turret]

Is it possible to add a select menu to a view where you can define pre-selected values?
If I have the options [1,2,3,4,5,6], can I say that automatically values from another list should be selected? So for example [2,3,6] ?

[shell radish]

yes

[urban zealot]

Do attachments within slash commands have a size limit. If so, do you know what it is?

[round heart]

What's the best way to reduce the number of "Unknown Message' errors, presumably during a timeout of a View? I don't really have any more info than that lol - I have a simple ephemeral response with a View that is doing disable_on_timeout. I don't remember having so many of these types of errors before.

[hazy turret]

How do I do it?

[fleet cedar]

it might be the same limit as a normal attachment for the user

you could try it and see

[lapis dock]

Just try and except. I think if the user clears the message you no longer can modify it. Also if you timeout is 15 minutes (900 seconds) or above I would lower it to at least 890 to give some time for latency when the interaction token expires

[daring grove]

How would I make my bot fetch a list of all roles which have an emblem

[lapis dock]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.SelectOption.default

[round heart]

I had it set for 600. But I thought the View model would take care of the try/except? I don't have any user code for this, just passing timeout=600 into super().__init__() of my View

[daring grove]

If this is possible

[lapis dock]

Just loop through https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Guild.fetch_roles or roles and check for the role icon

[lapis dock]

I don't think the base View does this

[daring grove]

I know the loopy thingy how would I check for the role icon

for role in roles:
if role.emblem:

like that?

[lapis dock]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/ui/view.py#L369-L375

[lapis dock]

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

[round heart]

...hm. So what do you do in your own Views? Override on_timeout for everything?
I'm definitely curious why the library isn't doing this, I feel like timing out dismissed interactions would be super common

[lapis dock]

I am planning on overriding on_timeout for most of my views but I have not got around to adding a bunch of error handleing yet.
Bring it up in #discussion or GitHub. You do have a valid point.

[hazy turret]

Can I also specify a list there or just a single option?

[lapis dock]

It is a SelectOption not the select. That only represents one of the options so you could specifiy for many. Then add the list of SelectOptions to the Select

[cursive leaf]

how do i make a task loop at utc 0 every day

[lapis dock]

ext.tasks.loop has a time kwarg.

[deft kestrel]

back again, how can i have a welcome message?

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    print(f"new user {member.name}")
    channel = bot.get_channel(1145759009127805039)
    embed = discord.embed(
        title=f"{member.name} has joined the server!",
        color=2829617       
    )
    await channel.send(embed=embed)

this doesn't seem to catch when a member joins the server

[lapis dock]

I think you need the members intent

?tag intents

[limber wagon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/intents.html
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#gateway-intents

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Get specific intents for fine control
intents = discord.Intents()
intents.emojis = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.messages = True  # Required for prefix commands!
...
# Get all non-priveliged intents; this excludes presences, members and message_content 
intents = discord.Intents.default()

# Set priveliged intents: these must be enabled on dev portal
intents.members = True
intents.presences = True
intents.message_content = True  # Required for prefix commands >= 2.0.0b5

# Get all intents; all intents must be enabled on dev portal.
intents = discord.Intents.all()

# Apply intents when creating your bot
bot = commands.bot(prefix="?", intents=intents)

[cursive leaf]

keep fucking up the time kwarg

mixing relative time and explicit time

@tasks.loop(time=time(0,0,0,0,tzinfo=timezone.utc),hours=24)

8.08 15:12:06 [Bot] raise TypeError("Cannot mix explicit time with relative time")
28.08 15:12:06 [Bot] TypeError: Cannot mix explicit time with relative time

[deft kestrel]

that works, but now im getting an attributeerror

  File "", line 26, in on_member_join
    await channel.send(embed=embed)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    print(f"new user {member.name}")
    channel = bot.get_channel(1145759009127805039)
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title=f"{member.name} has joined the server!",
        color=2829617       
    )
    embed.set_footer(text="bot by calcium", icon_url='https://calcal.space/favicon.png')
    await channel.send(embed=embed)

[little cobalt]

Did you also add the intents to your bot?

[deft kestrel]

yup

[hazy turret]

Okay so I can't implement the following scenario:

I select in my select menu [1,2,3,4,5,6] the options 3,5,6
Then I go to another select menu via a "Next" button. If I now go to "Back" the same select menu comes up with the options [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Can I then here my options, which I have of course saved there already selected for the user, that he can then change these options or must the user click all options again?

[deft kestrel]

intents = discord.Intents()
intents.members = True
intents.presences = True
intents.message_content = True

bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

no intent errors

[little cobalt]

And also at the Website?

[deft kestrel]

yeah

its detecting the user joining

[little cobalt]

Oh

Nvm

[deft kestrel]

just the send with my embed

[little cobalt]

You use get_channel

[lapis dock]

?Tag get_x

[limber wagon]

Any function that starts with get_ in Py-cord is retrieving the related object from your bots cache. If the object is not in the bots cache the get_ method will return None. Because of this behavior you should check if the get_x method is None and if it is use the fetch_x method.

Why Is Using fetch_ Without Using get_ First Bad?
The fetch_ method makes a call to the discord API. This API call is unneeded if you already have the information. It will also make your command take longer because it will have to send and than wait for a response from the discord API. It will also contribute to the discord APIs global rate limit of 50 requests per second.

What Is Cache?
The cache is a temporary storage inside your bot. It holds many objects from members to messages. When you restart your bot the cache will be empty. When the cache is full it will delete older objects to make space for the new objects.

[deft kestrel]

ah

[cursive leaf]

@lapis dock

@tasks.loop(time=time(0,0,0,0,tzinfo=timezone.utc),hours=24)

8.08 15:12:06 [Bot] raise TypeError("Cannot mix explicit time with relative time")
28.08 15:12:06 [Bot] TypeError: Cannot mix explicit time with relative time

[lapis dock]

leave out hours=24 it will run at that time every time that time occurs. (IE every day)

[deft kestrel]

    if bot.get_channel(1145759009127805039) == None:
        channel = bot.fetch_channel(1145759009127805039)
``` @lapis dock ?

[lapis dock]

You can, for each of the options in the select that should be selected you need to set default=True

[lapis dock]

YEs except you would need to save the get_channel to a varible too

[hazy turret]

Is the whole thing then also visually displayed ?

[deft kestrel]

done, new error

i cant await it or else that gives me another error

hm

same thing happens even if i comment it

and just straight fetch it

[lapis dock]

my_options = [SelectOption("Red"), SelectOption("Green", default=True), SelectOption("Blue", default=True)]
discord.ui.Select(options=my_options)

Do you have something like this? Im not exactly sure what you mean

[lapis dock]

what error does it give if you await it?

[deft kestrel]

Expression cannot be assignment target

@lapis dock i also get this

  File "b:\TON\main.py", line 21
    await channel = bot.fetch_channel(1145759009127805039)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: cannot assign to await expression here. Maybe you meant '==' instead of '='?

[lapis dock]

await goes before the function. So in this case before bot.fetch...
I just want to warn you discord bots are advanced. It might benefit you to make sure you understand python basics along with OOP and async before getting to far into the creation of bots

[deft kestrel]

oh wait i see that now

omg

[deft kestrel]

yeah sorry, got it working now

[cerulean sun]

any way to tell chronological order of reacters based on reaction.users() method?

like is the .users() method return reacters sorted someway?

[daring grove]

How do i add a repeating thing which pulls all the roles from a server every 5 minutes or so

[lofty parcel]

Tasks

[rugged lodge]

Here's the background task example.

[lofty parcel]

No

reaction.users returns a Member or User object

[cerulean sun]

A list of members right? Wanted to see if the members r sorted by time, but it seems theyr sorted by member id

[lofty parcel]

its probably how it gets stored by discord

[proper dew]

Hey, where can I find any info about an output like this <function Client.fetch_user at 0x7fc2626c6820>?

[torpid cosmos]

I'm not sure what you mean. Something like that is what's printed out when you try to print a function

def my_func():
    ...

print(my_func)

This would print

<function my_func at 0x[memaddress]>

Generally that's not useful unless you're a serious debugger

[proper dew]

so i need to look under Client.featch_user, in the docs

[torpid cosmos]

yeah, that function is located at discord.Client.fetch_user

can i ask what you're doing with that output, though?

[proper dew]

I want to remove a role from a user, but I only have the id from my db

[torpid cosmos]

Can you show us your code, or would you prefer to figure it out on your own?

[proper dew]

    async def on_message(self, message):
        """

        check if he has the story role -> if yes return
        if not get the user_id from the user, who has the story role
        take the role away from the old user and give it to the new
        """
        async with aiosqlite.connect("level.db") as db:
            #select user, storyRole
            async with db.execute("SELECT user_id, StoryRole FROM users WHERE max(shark_story_points)") as cursor:
                result= await cursor.fetchone()
                if result is None:
                    return
                user_id, StoryRole = result #save infos
            if StoryRole==True:
                return

            async with db.execute("SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE StoryRole=True") as cursor2:
                result2 =await cursor2.fetchone()
                guild= discord.Bot.featch_guild
                print(guild)

do not pay attention to spelling in the comments, thanks

[torpid cosmos]

That's fine. Do you mind editing it to be in a code block?

[little cobalt]

?tag codeblock

[limber wagon]

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

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

[distant hazel]

hey is there anyone experienced with the voice receiving here?

im trying to add support for it to a discord bot client in another language but im having issues with the decoding part

when i do the echoing all my bot does is beatbox

[torpid cosmos]

How are you getting the output you showed us earlier?

[proper dew]

  print(guild)```

[torpid cosmos]

That isn't the code you are using. Can you please show us your whole code at the moment, including what is printing the aforementioned output?

[proper dew]

this is the code that's running, I can only send the whole file with the setup of the cog

[torpid cosmos]

I see. It looks like in your code you are printing the fetch_guild function (which you have spelled wrong, by the way). In the output you gave us, it claims that you are printing fetch_user somewhere.

In any case, to get a guild, you would want to actually call the function and pass the user's ID into it.

my_guild_id = 0123456789
guild = bot.fetch_guild(my_guild_id)```

It would also be smart to try to use your own discord.Bot or discord.Client instance instead of using it straight from the library.

[torpid cosmos]

Can you show us some of the code you're using?

And what exactly do you mean by beatboxing?

[distant hazel]

cut off audio

here:

[daring grove]

@tasks.loop(seconds=1)
async def my_background_task(self):
    channel = self.get_channel(1143710797189623848)
    await channel.send("Hello")

bot.run(token)

would this work?

[torpid cosmos]

No. You would almost definitely get ratelimited.

[daring grove]

even if i set it to 10 seconds nothing happens

[torpid cosmos]

that doesnt look like python

[distant hazel]

at the end is where the magic happens

[torpid cosmos]

That's Lua. I think you may be in the wrong server.

[distant hazel]

yeah like i said in another language

[distant hazel]

yea well our discord client doesnt support voice receiving yet which im trying to change

[torpid cosmos]

I'm confused. What's the project structure looking like here? What is that lua supposed to be doing?

Does the Lua code get microphone input and pass it to your Pycord bot?

[distant hazel]

it uhm kinda has nothing to do with pycord other than pycord has support for voice receiving

[proper dew]

ok, got it! Thanks^^

[torpid cosmos]

In that case there's not much we can do. This is a Pycord support server. We can't support you if you aren't using Pycord.

[distant hazel]

okay ill see

[shell radish]

you can always check the source code tbh

[distant hazel]

thats what im trying to decipher right now

[torpid cosmos]

Make sure you're starting the task somewhere. I forget exactly what that line is to do that though, one moment

It's simply
your_function.start()

[daring grove]

and this should be at the end right?

[torpid cosmos]

Do that once your bot is already running, though. Preferably in an on_ready or similar function

[daring grove]

okay sure

[torpid cosmos]

Here's an example from our amazing Pycord guide

import discord
from discord.ext import tasks

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    very_useful_task.start()

@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def very_useful_task():
    print('doing very useful stuff.')

bot.run("TOKEN")```

[shell radish]

you might need to clarify, I’ve seen people copy and paste it and say it doesn’t work

[torpid cosmos]

I provided a link to the guide, as well as an example from the guide

[daring grove]

oop

I got it working

@tasks.loop(seconds=10)
async def rolefetch(self):
    channel = self.get_channel(1143710797189623848)
    await channel.send("Hello")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged into discord api as: {bot.user}!")
    rolefetch.start(bot)

okay its annoying me now

[torpid cosmos]

Rad. You didn't need to pass in self though unless your bot is in a class.

In that case you wouldn't pass bot when calling it either

[daring grove]

I just have, bot = discord.Bot()

[torpid cosmos]

async def rolefetch(self):

    rolefetch.start(bot)

you don't need self or bot in these lines respectively

unless the code is in a class, in which case you wouldn't need to pass bot

[daring grove]

how would I do self.get_channel?

[torpid cosmos]

You wouldn't. You'd use your bot object. bot.get_channel

[daring grove]

smart

could i do bot.send instead?

or

[torpid cosmos]

no, you'd still need to do channel.send because you are calling the send method of channel

[daring grove]

👍

thank you

[daring grove]

in my case, how would i fetch all of the roles of a server?

[torpid cosmos]

You'd use the Guild.roles property

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

You can fetch a guild by ID by using the Bot.fetch_guild or Bot.get_guild methods

[daring grove]

ahh

I see

[torpid cosmos]

It's recommended to use get_guild though

[rare condor]

how do you make a dedicated error handler for a single command?

like is there a decorator for it?

[shell radish]

if your command name is stupid, then use @stupid.error

[rare condor]

tysm

it was annoying me cuz I was getting errors from that

but i forgor to place

the error parameter

[round heart]

"@stupid.error" definitely decorates all my mistakes

[slender surge]

does anyone know why, when i start a tasks.looop in another loop, then close that loop, why doesn’t it start the other loop. ive tested everything and it just doesn’t start

[daring grove]

Is there a good way to get sort of a 'main' colour of someone's pfp and set it to be the embed colour

[lofty parcel]

You'd need some image library

[daring valve]

cache = LRUCache(512)


@cached(cache=cache)
async def dominant_color(link: str):
    try:
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.get(link) as resp:
                if resp.status == 200:
                    color_thief = colorthief.ColorThief(BytesIO(await resp.content.read()))
                    x = int(
                        "".join(f"{i:02X}" for i in color_thief.get_color(quality=250)), 16
                    )  # rgb tuple to hex to dec
                    if not x:
                        return 460551
                    return x
    # if any unexplainable shit happens...
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        return 460551

You need to install colorthief, aiohttp and cachetools packages

change quality to change quality:
Bigger number = faster, but worse quality
(uses every 250th pixel for dominant)
In my experience 250 is enough

[daring grove]

Is this the simplest way?

or

[daring valve]

I think this is the simplest way lol
Just pass the link and it will give you embed color

Embed(colour=await dominant_color(user.display_avatar.url))

[daring grove]

alright

what does return 460551 do?

whats so specific to 460551

[daring valve]

It is discord background color iirc

Oh wait, no

You can use Color.embed_background()

Tbh I forgot why I use exactly this color

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Funny number I guess

[daring grove]

also, could you show your imports here?

[daring valve]

import aiohttp
import colorthief
from asyncache import cached
from cachetools import LRUCache
from io import BytesIO

[daring grove]

thanks

[daring grove]

Constructor parameter should be str
do you know what this means?

[lofty parcel]

shouldnt it be display_avatar.url

[daring grove]

I was sort of thinking that because I used that earlier

[lofty parcel]

Here he said pass a link

[daring grove]

Ah

[daring valve]

Sorry, I used my internal user class 💀

[daring grove]

@tasks.loop(seconds=10)
async def rolefetch():
    server = bot.get_guild(1079543491048263720)
    for role in server.roles:
        serverroles.clear()
        serverroles.append(role)

why is this only outputting

[<Role id=1145856924051583006 name='Role Selector'>]

I was expecting it to output a list of all the roles in the guild

[daring valve]

Do you have intents + permissions?

If yes, try to fetch guild

[daring grove]

    for role in server.roles:
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'roles'

hm

I tried switching it to fetch_guild

[daring valve]

await fetch bruh

[daring grove]

same thing

maybe because its at the top of all the roles?

[daring valve]

.

[daring grove]

I do

wait

permissions yes

Intents im not sure

I didnt declare them anywhere

[daring valve]

wait, you clear the list every iteration 💀

[daring grove]

[daring valve]

• I think you can just serverroles = server.roles

[daring grove]

is server.roles already a list?

[daring valve]

yes lol

[daring grove]

I feel very silly now

Thanks for that

[junior ember]

is it possible to make

async def record(ctx):  # If you're using commands.Bot, this will also work.
    voice = ctx.author.voice

    if not voice:
        await ctx.respond("You aren't in a voice channel!")

    vc = await voice.channel.connect()  # Connect to the voice channel the author is in.
    connections.update({ctx.guild.id: vc})  # Updating the cache with the guild and channel.

    vc.start_recording(
        discord.sinks.WaveSink(),  # The sink type to use.
        once_done,  # What to do once done.
        ctx.channel  # The channel to disconnect from.
    )
    await ctx.respond("Started recording!")```
to only captuire 1 person's voice?

stolen from docs btw

[daring grove]

Is there a way to add this icon at the end of a value of a field in an embed?

I tried and it just did this

Is it possible?

[daring valve]

use emoji?

upload custom emoji and use it

[daring grove]

Do I need any more permissions to add a role?

The bots role is above the role I want to add

[little cobalt]

And what are the bot permissions?

[daring grove]

Hm?

[little cobalt]

At the Server

[little cobalt]

mhm

What are the bot intents?

[daring grove]

I havent declared them anywhere yet

do I need to?

[little cobalt]

Do you try it with an interaction or where do you do it?

[daring grove]

In a command

just a slash command

[little cobalt]

do you do it with ctx.author.add_roles? or how

for a slash command you dont need intents

[rapid jackal]

guild.members is returning a list of members right?

[little cobalt]

hover with your mouse over the members

[rapid jackal]

I'm currently not at my PC so I can't

[little cobalt]

Yes it does

[rapid jackal]

I don't even have a Mouse on my phone

[sour musk]

Heya, I have a question... stupid question...
After a long break, I started improving the bot and decided to make a simple embed generator for future text designs
But I have a problem with creating exceptions if one of the many items is removedBut I have a problem with creating exceptions if one of the many items is removed. Example on screenshot

I had an idea to exclude reading individual lines of code, but I just can’t imagine how to do it more accurately ... in general, the idea was to enumerate embed variations through if, elif

[daring valve]

uhm, what?

I'm not sure, but making embed generator with slash commands is not the best idea imo

[little cobalt]

What?

[daring valve]

Because slash commands has options limit of 25

[little cobalt]

Same for embed fields

[daring valve]

Yeah, but embeds has name, text and inline

[little cobalt]

Yea

[daring valve]

• author, title, description, footer and so on

[sour musk]

simple no more than two fields in command

[sour musk]

my example already has the maximum that the bot and hosting will digest without an explosion

[daring valve]

What do you think about interaction modals?
Maybe ui components

[sour musk]

Use discord forms

[daring valve]

Really odd lol

[sour musk]

I did not go deep into this thing and in my opinion it has problems with forwarding

[daring valve]

You can try something like that

#creations message

[daring valve]

wdym forwarding?

Do you use a translator?

[sour musk]

while working with discord forms, I came across that sending to another channel needs more shamanism than I would like, especially when I didn’t delve into it and there are restrictions up to 4 points

[sour musk]

Voice translation

I tried to do it in English for input, but it turns out 4 times worse

[daring valve]

I can speak with you in russian only in dms because lala banned Cyrillic for some reason

[sour musk]

Okie

I have a command which I would hope adds the role specified in the command and removes any roles with icons from the user
however after 2 uses of the command working fine, it seems to just add the role and not remove the role with the icon

doing /setrole beans works
then doing /setrole noodles work
but if i do /setrole beans it will not remove the role 'noodles' just add the role beans

assuming both beans and noodles have emblems

[fleet cedar]

highly likely an api ratelimit.

add/remove roles accepts multiple roles in a single api call. refactor your code logic to just usee 1 add api call and 1 remove api call

you are currently doing it inside the for loop

[daring grove]

Yeah

How would I do that?

[daring grove]

I tried earlier appending the roles with emblems to a list but at the same point of failure it didnt seem to work

The list was empty

[fleet cedar]

how were you doing it?

oh wait. you break the for loop

then ratelimit shouldnt be an issue imo

sorry

[daring grove]

It was like
author_roles_emblems = [role1 for role1 in ctx.author.roles if role1.icon]

[fleet cedar]

hmm

[daring grove]

then on the third try

the list was empty

[fleet cedar]

oh interesting

maybe the user doesnt have any such roles remaining?

[daring grove]

well my issue was

i would do

/setrole noodles
/setrole beans
and this would work fine

it would give me the role noodles

then when i did /setrole beans it would remove the noodles role and give me role beans

but when i did /setrole noodles again
it would just not remove the role beans give me role noodles

so id have both roles

i cant really think of any reason why this may be

[daring grove]

you thought of anything?

im clueless to be honest...

[fleet cedar]

nothing obvious ngl

you could enable logging and see if it is actually a ratelimit issue

.logging

[sly karma]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/logging.html

[daring grove]

I think it is

Im not sure how to tell 100% if it is

But i feel like it is

How would I fix this?

[fleet cedar]

if you enabled logging then you will see a message in logs that endpoint xyz is ratelimited, trying again in some seconds

[daring grove]

The logs are full of a lot of hard to read text, is there any way to simplify it?

logger = logging.getLogger('discord')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='discord.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')
handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(name)s: %(message)s'))
logger.addHandler(handler)

I just did this

There any way to simplify it?

[daring grove]

also if it is ratelimit - how would i fix it?

[daring grove]

it's not a ratelimit

[lofty parcel]

The library handles ratelimits by itself

[daring grove]

So what is the issue in my code?

Ive been spending so long I can't see anything that it may be

[lofty parcel]

Dunno, didn't read your issue

[daring grove]

Essentially in short
my command checks if the user has a role with an emblem and if they do it removes it and adds a role specified by the user

Thought when the command is ran the 3rd time it doesn't remove the role with the emblem it just adds the specified one

[vivid patio]

i have an on_ready listener in my cog and its not activating when the cog is reloaded, is there a better listener that activates when the cog is loaded?

[shell radish]

__init__

[vivid patio]

fair enough ty

[daring grove]

For some reason, this role isnt being fetched when i do

    server = await bot.fetch_guild(669623322496991256)
    global server_roles
    server_roles.clear()
    for server_role in server.roles:
        if server_role.icon:
            role_names = [r.name for r in server_roles]
            if server_role.name not in role_names:
                server_roles.append(server_role)
        else:
            continue
    print(server_roles)

Is there ar eason for this?

The role does have an icon i hope

[shell radish]

what does server.roles return? an empty array?

[daring grove]

server.roles or server_roles

[shell radish]

what I said

[daring grove]

it returns all of the roles in the server including supporter

however i want only the roles with icons

[shell radish]

try using bot.get_guild

[daring grove]

    server = bot.get_guild(669623322496991256)
    global server_roles
    server_roles.clear()
    for server_role in server.roles:
        if server_role.icon:
            role_names = [r.name for r in server_roles]
            if server_role.name not in role_names:
                server_roles.append(server_role)
        else:
            continue
    print(server_roles)

doing this returns the same list as before

doesnt include supporter in it

[shell radish]

could you output or debug the value on each iteration of server_role

[daring grove]

if this is what you're asking
[<Role id=1131329873370169425 name='Steam Verified'>, <Role id=1131727548091473921 name='Artist'>, <Role id=807953154846883871 name='EUSL Veteran'>, <Role id=1142180496151945256 name='S8 Challenger Winner'>, <Role id=1141868274129326162 name='S8 Bronze'>, <Role id=1141867620786782268 name='S8 Silver'>, <Role id=1141866170845249597 name='S8 Gold'>]
this is what server_roles prints as

[shell radish]

server_role not server_roles

[daring grove]

oh oops

Steam Verified
Artist
EUSL Veteran
S8 Challenger Winner
S8 Bronze
S8 Silver
S8 Gold

each iteration

[shell radish]

so the role isn't even there

[daring grove]

no, i have no idea why

it has an icon

but apparently it doesnt

[daring grove]

you got any idea why it may not exist? 😭

[shell radish]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[daring grove]

i hate discord

sucks

[round heart]

In a ApplicationCommandInvokeError, is there a good/known way to see the request was so that I can work out what data.components.1.componenets.0.options.0.value refers to?

[shell radish]

not really. Just count it yourself

[round heart]

Well I don't even know what the sent structure is, so I can't count.

[shell radish]

the 1 means row 1

the 0 means item 0

the option means option 0

value means value

[round heart]

Turns out I'm dumb.

I do wish it was easier to see raw payloads to Discord, though.

[grim estuary]

Hello! How can I replace the help command with my own?

Did you install the library?

[grim estuary]

Thank you

[deft kestrel]

well yh

[lofty parcel]

Show your pip list

[deft kestrel]

pycord and python-dotenv

[lofty parcel]

I want an actual screenshot

[deft kestrel]

thats literally all i've installed

its on a server

[atomic mortar]

is the pycord library on replit

[heavy sky]

what. If you're wondering if you can install it on replit, then yes. You can access all pypi libraries on replit

[daring grove]

Is there a way to limit this list of roles to only certain ones i want to show?

[lofty parcel]

Not atm

youd need to use an autocomplete and parse it by yourself

[daring grove]

damn

[atomic mortar]

which one is for slash commands buttons etc

[heavy sky]

the library is called py-cord

?tag replit

[limber wagon]

https://gist.github.com/JustaSqu1d/992d7d95c44420f5edd5b0741b7915aa

[heavy sky]

@atomic mortar ^

[atomic mortar]

alright

only use replit as a last resort

💀

[heavy sky]

yep, replit isn't good for hosting bots

?tag norepl

[limber wagon]

Why NOT to use Repl as a hosting platform

You should not use Repl.it to host your bot.
It may be a nice option as its "free" but you should use something else considering the major flaws.

• The machines are super underpowered.
  This means your bot will lag a lot as it gets bigger.
• You'll need a web server alongside your bot to prevent it from being shut off.
  This isn't a trivial task, and eats more of the machines power.
• Repl.it uses an ephemeral file system.
  This means any file you saved via your bot will be overwritten when you next launch.

IMPORTANT

• They use a shared IP for everything running on the service.
  This one is important - if someone is running a user bot on their service and gets banned, everyone on that IP will be banned. Including you.

Please avoid using repl.it to host your bot. It's not worth the trouble.

If you're looking for free options, consider using AWS/Google Cloud Platform/Azure and its respective free tiers or just pay for a vps.

[stray cape]

hey guys where did bot.slash_command go?

no aswer?

[heavy sky]

it didn't go anywhere...

.rtfm discord.Bot.slash_command

[sly karma]

3 results

discord.ext.commands.Bot.slash_command
discord.Bot.slash_command
discord.ext.bridge.Bot.slash_command

[stray cape]

so my autocompletion is

lying

thats possible

it is just this

oh had discord.py on my pc

[lofty parcel]

You should ask in the wavelink server

It's not a pycord issue

Google is free

[daring grove]

No its not!!

[red mist]

You read trough the Wavelink docs.

Google : "Python Wavelink docs"

[median sundial]

Is there any other way to detect if the bot is mentioned in a text message other than checking every new message for mentions?

[shell radish]

you can poll the channel history, but that's basically the same thing

[hazy turret]

What can be the reason that a tasks.loop of my bot does not work after a few days?
Could it be that there are problems with the Discord API and there is somehow a contact break or something?
Because if I restart the bot then it works again for a few days. But there is no interval after which it always stops working.
Is there a solution for this or how can I do the whole thing best does anyone have an idea?

[median sundial]

I thought that discord added an alternative when they tried to remove the message content intent

[shell radish]

nope

you just check it in on_message

[median sundial]

Alright thanks

[hazy turret]

Does anyone know a solution?

[red mist]

🧠

Person A : Asks for an answer on Topic D
Person B : Gives them a book on Topic D
Person A : refuses to read it

Whats wrong with the docs?

You dont know how to use them or...?

[median sundial]

Docs are good if you have a basic understanding of how to use a package/library

[red mist]

I mean ig you can ask for support, but I am not a wavelink dev and I dont know if theres a discord server ab it.

So in my eyes all you'd be stuck with at this point are the docs.

Literally this took me less than a fucking minute, and you are telling me google is not giving you anything?

ITS ON THEIR GOD DAMN GITHUB PAGE!

[fickle salmon]

chill voxy

[red mist]

Im sorry but wtfff

[foggy ocean]

hi, is there a way of me being able to grab all the message logs data between me and a person

i wanna do some processing on that data for fun

i feel like its prolly not allowed tho

[red mist]

Well first of all, yes it is possible (if you are talking about using a bot to grab this data on a server)

It is allowed for moderation purposes, but I recommend telling the person you're doing it with that you're doing it.

You can either store all of the messages in a database such as mongodb or sqlite

technically any text file would suffice but thats up to you;

I just know from experience that you should use the on_message event to basically handle all messages sent in a discord server (which the bot can read! So you need to make sure the bot has the intents to do so)

And then just dump them into either your database or a text like file ig.

any file would do tbf

[hazy turret]

What can be the reason that a tasks.loop of my bot does not work after a few days?

Because if I restart the bot then it works again for a few days. But there is no interval after which it always stops working.
Is there a solution for this or how can I do the whole thing best does anyone have an idea?

[red mist]

Maybe youre making a lot of API calls which causes the discord API to give your bot a timeout

[hazy turret]

Actually I should not get into any rate limit

[red mist]

What does the task even do?

Also

You can use the logging package from python to check what your bot is doing

[hazy turret]

The task only edits one embed:
await message.edit(embed=embed)

[red mist]

I used to have something like this in my main.py file (I literally copy pasted so I cannot guarantee you it'll work, you may need to change some adjustments.)

logger = logging.getLogger('discord')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # CRITICAL ERROR WARNING INFO DEBUG # Use any of those ig.
handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='log/latest.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')
handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(name)s: %(message)s'))
logger.addHandler(handler)

with open('log/latest-console.log', 'w'):
    pass
logging.basicConfig(filename='log/latest-console.log', level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(name)s: %(message)s', encoding='utf-8')

[red mist]

Maybe your bot is doing something else .-.

also make sure to make a log file for it, or have your code create one, because now its just going from root dir to log to latest-console.log file

[hazy turret]

Does discord have a special error for the timeout or rate limit that can be caught ?

[red mist]

Idk I genuinely dont know, which is why I used to do this log file thingy. Worked great for me

[red mist]

actually I forgot to mention, it makes 2 files because I had 2 log files being made lol

youll see when you understand the code xd

[hazy turret]

I have implemented a logger. Will run the bot again and see what comes around Thanks! 🙂

[red mist]

Nice :)

[red mist]

This, I am not going to send a link to the server here.

[little cobalt]

So....

I cannot see any of my slash commands anymore

with my main account I can see them but not with my alt

[red mist]

guild slash command permissions?

could be admin commands or dev commands won't be shown

Dunno

[little cobalt]

no

0 permissions

basic slash commands

[red mist]

uhm the what, either your main is blacklisted, or your alt is whitelisted by your bot dunno

[fickle salmon]

Restart/update your clients

[graceful cove]

is there a documentation with all the features of pycord listed? if so where can i find it?

[little cobalt]

mhm

Its working at the test server

so weird

[red mist]

Synched only to a guild?

[little cobalt]

no they are global

[red mist]

the fk

[little cobalt]

yea...

[red mist]

r u sure?

100%

Did you test it?

[little cobalt]

yea

[red mist]

What

[fickle salmon]

https://pycord.dev/docs

[red mist]

does your main acc have any roles in the server?

which possibly

could make it so

that your alt acc

isnt able to see commands

[red mist]

Was gonna remind you of the DCV I made

[little cobalt]

I saw that one x3

I still have to learn how to use customtkinter

[red mist]

I had such a hard time making the dark and light theme work LOL

[red mist]

Made it and never used it :') well ok I did use it but yk

only for that one scenaria

[little cobalt]

I still want to create something for the OpenDTU project

[graceful cove]

bot does not want to connect (will upload image)

need help to correct this error

[little cobalt]

read the error

[graceful cove]

im dumb

i dont understand the error

python syntax errors are a pain to understand

im not at that level yet

[little cobalt]

python is really easy

[graceful cove]

oh yea

im dumb

yea

[graceful cove]

fixed it

[fickle salmon]

you should add a short video to the readme

[grizzled loom]

is there a limit, how many embeds can be given to paginator at once?

[shell radish]

each message can only have 25 embeds iirc

[grizzled loom]

could it cause an index error, if it gets more?

[fickle salmon]

just the amount of memory you have

[shell radish]

Your message will not send if each page has more than 25 embeds iirc

[fickle salmon]

I thought it was 5 embeds per message

25 seems like a ton

[shell radish]

oops, it seems like 10

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message-jsonform-params

[grizzled loom]

Maybe i stated my question poorly. I meant if i create a bundle of (working) messages, that respect char and field limits and all that, package them in a list and hand this list over to paginator

then the limit of those messages is 10?

(it can have in a menu)

[shell radish]

you can have as many pages as you want

the only limit is your system's memory

[grizzled loom]

damn. then my error must be somewhere else. Thanks!

[shell radish]

you should probably just send the error

[grizzled loom]

I will, next time it shows up.

[lapis condor]

I am having trouble sending an embed.

footer = str("Made by EJ Studios")

            Info_embed = discord.Embed(
                colour=discord.Colour.green(),
                title="name",
                description="name")
            Info_embed.set_author(name="Info")
            Info_embed.add_field(name="Info", inline=True)

            Info_embed.add_field(name="Name", value="Info", inline=False)

            Info_embed.set_footer(text="Made by EJ Studios")

            await user.send(embed = Info_embed)```

If i do  ```await user.send(".",embed = Info_embed)``` it will send a . but no embed and if i dont i get an "cant send empty messages error".

[little cobalt]

do you use a prefix command?

[lapis condor]

No, this is a role command, when someone clicks on a reaction they get a role and this embed should be send to them.

[tepid coyote]

Is there a max number of options a slash command can have?

[shell radish]

including sub groups etc.

[deft kestrel]

I am having an issue with 'on_guild_channel_create' and getting the following error:
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'guild'

I am trying to get a specific channel by getting all the channels in the guild like so:
logChannel = discord.utils.get(channel.guild.channels, id=channel_id)

I am using this method everywhere else like, on_guild_channel_update etc without issues.

[junior ember]

anyone know how to bypass discord.errors.HTTPException: 413 Payload Too Large (error code: 40005): Request entity too large

[drifting turtle]

sounds like more like your code has issues than anything else

[fickle salmon]

Truncate the message before sending it

[junior ember]

what mean

[safe nest]

it means make the message shorter

[junior ember]

its a file tho

[edgy nest]

then your file is too large

the size limit is supposedly 25 MiB for the entire request

[cerulean sable]

if hasattr(interaction, 'original_message'):
    try:
        await interaction.original_message.edit(embed=embed, view=self)
    except discord.errors.HTTPException as e:
        print(f"An error occurred while editing the message: {e}")
else:
    try:
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=self)
    except discord.errors.HTTPException as e:
        print(f"An error occurred while sending the message: {e}")

This code causes an error every time, it says that the interaction has been already acknowledged, but nowhere in my code have I added a ".send_message" or ".edit".

Why is it so?

[rapid jackal]

is @fleet cedar 's pull request for the paginator still open? bec. I can't find the PR

[lofty parcel]

You're already in a thread

Stop crossposting

It's just annoying

[fleet cedar]

Which one?

What was the topic?

I have made multiple prs for paginator lul

[rapid jackal]

that you have more options to edit it

[fleet cedar]

Ah

It's there on the dev release

See #library-updates

[rapid jackal]

Ok thanks

[strange hamlet]

what am I missing in my script?

[lofty parcel]

Intents

And you just leaked your token

Congrats

it is already got resseted

what do you mean by intents?

any ideas?

[lofty parcel]

Whats your pycord version

[strange hamlet]

1.7.3

[little cobalt]

that is really old

check out #library-updates

[lofty parcel]

That's pycord

[strange hamlet]

I used to develop bots in 2021, I forgot most of it and now I want to start again

[lofty parcel]

The library name is py-cord

Pycord is another library not related to Discord

[strange hamlet]

oops - I installed something called pycord

[lofty parcel]

You're probably using dpy or something

[strange hamlet]

alright

I've installed it

the 2.5.0

[lofty parcel]

Did you uninstall other discord libraries

[strange hamlet]

no

should I?

I have this

anf this

[lofty parcel]

Uninstall dpy

And uninstall py-cord

[strange hamlet]

done

[lofty parcel]

And re install py-cord-dev

[strange hamlet]

that's what I got now

and no discord.pu

py

[lofty parcel]

You should be good to go

[strange hamlet]

I get an error when I run this code now:

for this code

[heavy sky]

read the error

it says what you need to do in it

"Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead."

[strange hamlet]

yes

it has administrator

[heavy sky]

That's not what the error asks for. You need to go to the developer portal and enable privileged intents

[strange hamlet]

yes I did

thanks

[heavy sky]

it works now?

[little cobalt]

and change your token again

[strange hamlet]

already did

[vital bramble]

how can I change the nickname of a member?
I can't seem to find it...

oh got it xD
member.edit

[heavy sky]

yep lol

[dusky ermine]

How do you supply an announcement channel as the type for the @option decorator?

@option("channel", TextChannel | Thread, description="...")

[heavy sky]

You can use this I guess, with discord.ChannelType.news

[dusky ermine]

It doesn't work though:

@option("channel", ChannelType.news | TextChannel | Thread, description="...")

[heavy sky]

It should work if you do something similar to this:

@bot.command()
@option("channel", channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.news], description="...")
async def command(ctx, channel:discord.TextChannel):
    await ctx.respond(channel)```

[dusky ermine]

Using channel_types doesn't work either

It doesn't seem to have any effect

[heavy sky]

can you show your code?

[dusky ermine]

@slash_command(
        name="follow",
        description="Follow a Threads feed in a channel",
    )
    @guild_only()
    @cooldown(1, 5, BucketType.user)
    @default_permissions(manage_channels=True)
    @option("username", description="The username of the user to follow")
    @option("channel", TextChannel | Thread, description="The channel to post new threads in")
    @option("role", Role, description="The role to ping when a new thread is posted", default=None)
    @option("send_reposts", bool, description="Whether to send reposts of threads that have already been posted", default=True)
    @option("send_replies", bool, description="Whether to send the account's replies to threads. Premium only", default=False)

This is in a Cog

[heavy sky]

And you want channel to take an announcement channel?

[dusky ermine]

So I've tried adding ChannelType.news to TextChannel | Thread and also tried adding it into the list for the channel_types kwarg

[dusky ermine]

Yes

[heavy sky]

Modify it to look like this:

@option("channel", channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.news], description="The channel to post new threads in")

and make sure that the channel argument in the async def takes a discord.TextChannel

otherwise it won't work

[dusky ermine]

It still doesn't work

The news channel doesn't show up in Discord as an option for the param

[heavy sky]

hmm, weird, that worked for me

[dusky ermine]

Could you pls send ur code

[heavy sky]

I didn't try in a cog though, but this worked for me:

@bot.command()
@option("channel", channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.news], description="...")
async def command(ctx, channel:discord.TextChannel):
    await ctx.respond(channel)```

only news channels showed up in the option

[dusky ermine]

Strange, it shows all channels for me when I do it

What version of Pycord are you on?

[heavy sky]

hm, weird...

I'm on 2.4.1

[dusky ermine]

Alright, lemme try updating and see if that fixes it

[heavy sky]

okay

Imma try it in a cog as well, and see if that makes any difference

[dusky ermine]

That sorta fixed it

It works outside of cogs, but not inside

[heavy sky]

hmm

one sec

[dusky ermine]

@heavy sky updating to py-cord-dev==2.5.0rc5 fixed it

It works in cogs too

[heavy sky]

oh, nice

[dusky ermine]

Thanks for your help

[heavy sky]

No problem 😄

[little cobalt]

I was already close to mention that version to test it

[heavy sky]

Seems to be working fine in cogs on 2.4.1 for me though...

[deft kestrel]

Anyone got any ideas on this?

[vocal wagon]

Hi.. so I am pretty new to pycord
Like I have been using discord for some time and I have seen this dissapearing scoreboards , that is only visible to the person who invoked it
I am trying to do that.. idk the name foe such a component.. can someone redirect me to the right resource?

[safe nest]

What you're looking for is called ephemeral I believe

I think the reply example displays an ephemeral reply iirc

[rugged lodge]

Here's the reply example.

[safe nest]

Oh, not that one

[round heart]

Uh, what am I doing wrong here -- if I send ApplicationContext.respond(..., view=None) I get an error that NoneType doesn't have a timeout. But None is a default value for view in the underlying methods? Is this a bug in ApplicationContext?

[shell radish]

you're not sending anything?

[edgy nest]

i think the default might be MISSING

[round heart]

Sorry, misleading - there is a response, just that view is specifically None

discord.interactions.send_message() has view as a default of None. But I suppose it's possible it's not using that method

[edgy nest]

respond's param defaults are inconsistent

because it depends on whether or not the interaction was responded to

for followup.send the default is MISSING

i have no clue why

[shell radish]

there's probably a good reason for it

[edgy nest]

other than send and edit using the same handle_params function

which we can probably fix in 3 minutes

[hazy turret]

Why do my prefix commands suddenly stop working?
Is there a general bug with Discord at the moment?

[little cobalt]

why did you also add content=?

[shell radish]

?

[little cobalt]

for text but not an embed

[shell radish]

where

do you know how kwargs work

[sly karma]

3 results

discord.ext.commands.Bot.slash_command
discord.Bot.slash_command
discord.ext.bridge.Bot.slash_command

[hazy turret]

Does anyone have any idea why all of my bots suddenly stopped working without me changing anything?
Slashcommands still work without problems

[shell radish]

do you have message content intents

[hazy turret]

In the developer portal I have MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT enabled and in my bot:

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True


status = discord.Status.online
activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="Status")

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix=PREFIX,
    intents=intents,
    debug_guilds=None,
    status=status,
    activity=activity,
    help_command=None,
)```

[shell radish]

messages ≠ message_content

[hazy turret]

Oh damn thanks!

[shell radish]

error with traceback?

?tag codeblock

[limber wagon]

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

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

[shell radish]

what are you using to run your bot

that makes sense.

they are a terrible host and you're getting ratelimited

interactions have different ratelimits than gateway

[green kernel]

Is there no way to edit an ephemeral message?

[little cobalt]

you can edit a ephermeral message

[green kernel]

Something like

await interaction.message.edit(view=self.view)

throws a 404 not found error when used in an ephemeral context

can edit_original_message or edit_original_response work instead? 🤔

Figured it out. Have to defer the response before editing.

[fleet cedar]

You can use interaction.response.edit_message

No need to defer for using that

[green kernel]

Ooh, good to know

[green kernel]

Can @commands.Cog.listener(...) be used to make custom events? 🤔

If so, how? Bot.dispatch() seems like it can't be awaited so I'm not sure if that's how I'd do it

[shell radish]

create your own event loop

[green kernel]

Why? :(

[fleet cedar]

Yes

[fleet cedar]

Dispatching will schedule the event handlers in the event loop

It's pretty much
bot.dispatch('my_event', ...) and
@Cog.listener('my_event')

Case sensitive btw iirc

[green kernel]

apparently i have to prefix the event name with on_ otherwise it complains

but yeah I've decided to just roll my own little event thing

[lapis condor]

Anyone having issues sending embeds using await message.channel.send(embed = embed) and getting this error discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message
if i use await ctx.response(embed = embed) it will send embeds however.

[daring valve]

Use ctx.respond instead of response
And I think your embed is none or embed is empty and that's why you get this error

[lapis condor]

This is the code for reference, it is supposed to detect "bad words" sends the embed and deletes the message.

async def on_message(ctx):
    print(banned_word)

    if any(x in ctx.content for x in banned_word):

        bad_word_embed = discord.Embed(colour=discord.Color.blurple(), title="Auto mod", description=f"Their was a bad word detected and this message has been deleted.\n\nRepeated offenses may lead to a ban.")
        await ctx.channel.send(embed = bad_word_embed)
        await ctx.delete()
        return```

[fleet cedar]

Ah yes

[hazy turret]

Does anyone have any idea how to recognize secondary accounts?
Because the member object only has the 'create_at' which you could check but with that you can't really tell if it's a secondary account or not.

[little cobalt]

You mean for alt accounts?

[hazy turret]

I want to check that if someone is banned from the server and then creates a second account that he can not do nonsense with it then again on the server.

[little cobalt]

Why should that be possible?

You would have to check for something like an ip

[hazy turret]

I can't get to it via the Discord account without further ado.

[heavy sky]

All server bans are based on IP, not per account

So, if one account gets banned from a server, all accounts in that ip will automatically be banned

[hazy turret]

Okay

[ancient cosmos]

Would it be appropriate to bump or link to a help thread I posted about a week ago that didn't get any responses? I'm not sure if the information I gave was unclear or whether the issue was just difficult to pin down, so I'm open to trying to rework/improve the question, too.

[lofty parcel]

Just bump.your thread

[ancient cosmos]

No worries, just wanted to make sure that was okay

[strange hamlet]

Why did you add message intents to all intents?

[strange hamlet]

oops

yeah, uneccesarry

[lofty parcel]

Uh

No idea then lol

That's weird

[cursive leaf]

what could be causing my tasks.loop function to just stop executing

[errant trout]

Any unhandled exception

[cursive leaf]

kk

[ancient cosmos]

If I decorate a callback function with @commands.slash_command and do not provide an argument for the decorator's options parameter, at what point in the execution flow does SlashCommand._validate_parameters get called to populate the command's options (via SlashCommand._parse_options)?

The only place I can see _validate_parameters get called is during SlashCommand.cog's setter, and I can't find anywhere in discord.commands.core.py where self.cog = [something] on a SlashCommand object. (There's cases like line 608 here, but that's a SlashCommandGroup, not a SlashCommand.)

[sour musk]

Heya, i decided to make a color customization by using the discord form and got stuck on the output of the variable to insert into the embed
discord.Color

[sour musk]

Can be more human language and more briefly

I'm confused

It's one thing when, when creating a group of commands, you do not give a single command in this group, another thing is when you catch a kernel error from the library

[ancient cosmos]

Don't worry about it; I found a different way to accomplish what I was trying to do, and that made the research I was doing in the source not necessary anymore

[sour musk]

Okay

I have not yet reached the level of psychosis and creating my own palette with a handful of everything, I need help, because I really forgot everything

[red mist]

So... You pretty much want to know how to set custom colors?

[sour musk]

here it will rather sound more correct using the standard disk code to translate the string into color without using a long filter
red = 0xff000
Green ...
And ect

class Gen1(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Topic"))
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Text (only 2000)", style=discord.InputTextStyle.long))
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Image link", required=False))
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Color(red/green/blue)", required=False))
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Footer", required=False))
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        colors = self.children[3].value
        
        embed = discord.Embed(title=self.children[0].value, description=self.children[1].value, color = discord.Color.#here idk)
        embed.set_image(url=self.children[2].value)
        embed.set_footer(text = self.children[4].value)

@red mist

[red mist]

color should be = to the hex code you put in as a variable, discord.Colot is only used to use the default colors included, do pretty much you can just make your variable red = hex color code with ofc the 0x Infront and then just use color = red

@sour musk

[sour musk]

as far as i know that discord.Color can use format discord.Color.red() but for Color any external variable will throw an error

but at least one of the arguments either does not exist or is missing

[red mist]

the hold on.

[sour musk]

can try variable in state .join(f"{colors}")

[red mist]

If I were to set color = em_green

Then my green would be

em_green = 0x2ecc71

not a string

Just that.

not a string

[sour musk]

okie, i rebuld code for format hex

[red mist]

you can use hex for custom colors

But ultimately you can also use color = discord.Color.red() yk

For default built in colors

[sour musk]

I planned to replace the last of the usual colors with custom names

[red mist]

I think you could also use RGB but I'm not sure wether or not you still have to convert that to Hex first

[errant trout]

if you need to convert a HEX string to a compatible colour, use int to convert to base 16py white = "FFFFFF" embed = discord.Embed(color = int(white, 16))alternatively as described above you can do 0xFFFFFF for example instead, but that only works for hardcoded values

[red mist]

Wait that's a thing?

[errant trout]

you can try it yourself

[red mist]

holy shit I didn't know that LOL

[errant trout]

as long as you don't include the leading #

[red mist]

Ye ye ofc but

lmfao

[sour musk]

but for this you will need to create a rather bold input filter since the person in the form will write by hand

[errant trout]

i mean

yeah i guess, but what can you do either deal with potentially bad user input to allow freedom, or restrict their choices to set colors

ultimately up to you

[sour musk]

indianred = 0xcdscsc
lightcoral = 0xf08080
salamon = 0xfa8072
darksalamon = 0xe9967a
lightsalamon = 0xffa87a
crimson = 0xdc143x
red = 0xff0000
finebrick = 0x822222
darkred = 0x8B0000

pink = 0xffc6cb
lightpink = 0xffb6cf
hotpink = 0xff69b4
deeppink = 0xff1493
mediumvioletred = 0xc71585
palevioletred = 0xdb7093

I have small list but if it is displayed in a single change and a simple filter without db ...
If colors = x
color = 0xff
elif ...

and output as second file

[errant trout]

im sorry but this looks miserable

just look for a hex code regex and tell the user to re-enter their colour if they did something wrong

[sour musk]

Thank you, I will try to implement> write your own 0x...

Sanity check: Are Option(choices=) fully set on command initialization, or can it be evaluated when the command is invoked?

[ancient cosmos]

Fully set as far as I've been able to tell

[errant trout]

set on initialization

you have to use autocomplete otherwise

[ancient cosmos]

If you need a workaround you need to use autocompletes or a View (which you could pass state into)

[sour musk]

and so I think to try to create a database of colors, it will be torture but shortens the code
it remains to remember how to write in json

[round heart]

Trying to avoid a view for just a single input. autocomplete is fine, but a little superfluous for the value. Really just need to evaluate it when the command is about to be invoked.

Anyway, thanks to all 🙂

[sour musk]

Ummm i think i can use it @errant trout

tf does this mean```py
File "/home/container/cogs/fun.py", line 440, in setrole
data[f"{ctx.guild_id}"].update({"role", role.id})
ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 4; 2 is required

[fickle salmon]

so that can just be data[ctx.guild_id], but can you show me what's in data?

What's the diff between discord.User and discord.Member?

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.User and https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Member

Are they the same?

[shell radish]

one is guild specific, one is global

[cloud bloom]

Which is which

[shell radish]

member is guild
