Basic Pycord Help

[opal hamlet]

a discord Cog is a .py file, that gets loaded into the main bot

[autumn gust]

oh

and have the entire bot be classless?

[opal hamlet]

async def on_ready():
    global botversion
    with open(Path(sys.path[0],os.path.basename(__file__)), 'r') as f:
        l1 = f.readlines(1)
        botversion = l1[0].strip('#Version: \n')
    print(f'Version: {botversion}, Logged on as {bot.user}')
    logger.info(f'Version: {botversion}, Logged on as {bot.user}')  
    version_control.start()  
    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game('Star Citizen 🚀'))
    await status_msg()```

no need to subclass the bot

[autumn gust]

there is no subclass, though?

there's just one class

[opal hamlet]

how did you even initialize the bot at the beginning of your code

[opal hamlet]

hmhm

[autumn gust]

all of those are outside the class

[opal hamlet]

@bot.event
async def on_ready(self):
    print(f"I'm alive, at {self.user}!")

@bot.event
async def on_message(self, message):
    print(f"{str(message.author).rstrip('#0')}: {message.content}")

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(self, member):
    userID = member.id
    channel = bot.get_channel(1155232310468280320)
    welcomeChannel = bot.get_channel(1130586203855540266) 
    getCurrentDate()
    userMention = member.id
    userAvatar = member.avatar.url
    userDisplayName = member.global_name
    userName = member.name
    userIDstring = str(userID)
    if userIDstring in whitelistIDs:
        await channel.send(f"{date_time} | `Traffic Syndicated for {userID}, recognised as {whitelistIDs[userIDstring]}`")
        await welcomeChannel.send(f"Greetings, {member.mention}")
    elif userIDstring in blockedUserIDs:
        await channel.send(f"## **{date_time}** | @autumn gust `Potentially Dangerous Traffic Blocked: {userID}, recognised as {blockedUserIDs[userIDstring]}`")
        await channel.send(f"Mention: **<@{userMention}>**\n Avatar: **<{userAvatar}>**\n Name: **{userName}**\n Display Name: **{userDisplayName}**")
        await member.send("You were kicked, reason: Banned on the Whitelist.")
        await member.kick(self, reason="Banned on Whitelist.")
    else:
        await channel.send(f"## **{date_time}** | `Remote Traffic Blocked: {userID}`")
        await channel.send(f" - Mention: **<@{userMention}>**\n - Avatar: **<{userAvatar}>**\n - Name: **{userName}**\n - Display Name: **{userDisplayName}**")
        await member.send("You were kicked, reason: Remote Traffic Blocked; Disconnected.")
        await member.kick(reason="Connection Denied.")```

decorators @autumn gust

[autumn gust]

huh

[opal hamlet]

gotta use @bot.event

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.event @autumn gust

[autumn gust]

neat

[opal hamlet]

god i wish i could remember what part of my bot i was working on exactly

[autumn gust]

ADHD in a nutshell

"oh I should do this prob"
3 minutes in
"yo wat's that"
...
"what was I doing again?"

[opal hamlet]

i know what it is and what it does, how it does it, but i forgot what else was needed lol

[autumn gust]

ever heard of... checklists?

[opal hamlet]

do i look like i organize my shit?

[autumn gust]

sadly, my adhd wins over my autism in the organisation department

my urge to be as organized as can be is non existant

[opal hamlet]

ugh dont you hate it when for some reason your pc decides to forget shortcuts exist and you gotta restart your pc

I mean atleast i decided to draw a previous version of my database

It was… chaotic

Now my db is probably less efficient but i know what the fuck it does this time

[autumn gust]

hmmm

[opal hamlet]

ur shit workin?

[autumn gust]

trying to figure out the complicated tidbits

but somewhat

now to figure out how to check if user has default permissions or not

[little cobalt]

What?

[autumn gust]

I mean uhhh

if the user has the permissions required to run the command, and respond differently if they don't

[little cobalt]

They cannot see the command

With default_permissions

[autumn gust]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[autumn gust]

oh, good

[autumn gust]

why does switching from class to @bot.event have to be so difficult😭

for reference

[autumn gust]

oh...

now it works, thnks

oi @opal hamlet how do you make the slash command ask for a thingy

like input

/terminal input: for example

[opal hamlet]

async def funcname(ctx, input, otherinputvalue):

@autumn gust

[autumn gust]

AWESOME

btw do you mind if I ping you for those kinds of things or na

I should've asked before

I assume input returns a string?

[opal hamlet]

Don't care, one more notification doesn't hurt if i have my phone on mute lol

[opal hamlet]

Yeah

[autumn gust]

sick, thanks bro

[autumn gust]

neat

so for a simple command system,

if input == "test1":
elif input == "test2":
else:

will work

[opal hamlet]

you can also do async def funcname(ctx, input:discord.Option(variabletype f.e. str, int)

You can also specify a description for the input argument inside this discord.Option(..., description='good desc!')

[autumn gust]

use code blocks maybe

code's barely readable without them

[opal hamlet]

Ah yeah

Im eating and on mobile, couldn't be bothered lol

Ill send you an example later

Did you know you can localize command names and description?

[autumn gust]

you can?

huh

wdym by localize

like swap into other languages?

I wonder, how to make a bot refresh

oh, how do I make a message ephemeral

ctx.send("test").ephemeral?

[opal hamlet]

Close

ctx.send('msg',ephemeral=True, delete_after=seconds) if you want it to auto delete after x seconds

[autumn gust]

`text` or
```py
```

[opal hamlet]

@autumn gust localization

[autumn gust]

let's goo

wait

not the ()

[opal hamlet]

you know you could make that thing 2 lines shorter right

[autumn gust]

sigh

of course

like this

I assume

[opal hamlet]

await ctx.send(f'pinging... {bot.latency*1000}ms')```

[autumn gust]

o

[opal hamlet]

some shit can just be ridiculously short

[little cobalt]

ctx.respond for slash commands

[opal hamlet]

cant you still ctx.send

[little cobalt]

yes but not with ephemeral=True and you get every time a error

[opal hamlet]

nope

i am defering it beforehand tho

[little cobalt]

@client.slash_command()
async def test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    await ctx.defer()
    await ctx.send("test", ephemeral=True)

[opal hamlet]

it literally works for me

may cuz im not on dev version?

[little cobalt]

I use the dev version

because it also works with sync commands

[opal hamlet]

i know that "it works on my device" is something no dev wants to hear, but it does

[autumn gust]

what does ctx.defer() do

[opal hamlet]

prevents it from erroring that app isnt responding

[autumn gust]

ah

[little cobalt]

So, with slash commands you have to respond after 3 seconds

if you dont do it you get an error

[opal hamlet]

bascially just tells discord, yup i saw that interaction

[little cobalt]

with ctx.defer you have more time

[autumn gust]

uhhh

[opal hamlet]

show code

[little cobalt]

did you use ctx.send or ctx.respond?

[autumn gust]

ctx.send

[little cobalt]

use ctx.respond for slash commands

[autumn gust]

oh.

[shell radish]

what the heck is command

[shell radish]

bruh

[autumn gust]

it works

[opal hamlet]

round that shit ASAP

my eyes

round((bot.latency*1000),2)```

[autumn gust]

just because you kindly asked me to round it

I won't

[opal hamlet]

anger

[autumn gust]

but nah I didn't know that was a thing

I was lowkey about to go nag Pillow about it

[edgy nest]

why would you nag pillow to round numbers

[autumn gust]

friend

they're a python and xml nerd

[edgy nest]

oh I thought you meant https://pypi.org/project/pillow

[autumn gust]

ohj

lmao

[autumn gust]

@ember crane you never told me you were a library smh

[ember crane]

[autumn gust]

that's so cute

[opal hamlet]

lmao

[autumn gust]

yeah meet Pillow, he was carrying my ahh here until he redirected me here with stupid questions

[opal hamlet]

lol

do be like that sometimes

[autumn gust]

fr

[autumn gust]

what's the on bot join guild event called

or is it discord.on_guild_join

and I'm just shit at reading

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[autumn gust]

oh...

wow

[red mist]

Literally need help to structurize my cogs.

Im unsure wether to make a cog with multiple commands or 1 cog per command.

Recommendations?

[little cobalt]

I do one command for every cog to have a clean structure

and with pycord-multicog I can use the slash groups at other files

[red mist]

idfk ab multicogs

[little cobalt]

https://github.com/Dorukyum/pycord-multicog/tree/main

[edgy nest]

i use one with multiple

otherwise i would have 80 extensions

& fuck that

[tidal estuary]

How would I go about approving user_id to speak on a stage? I took a gander at the manual for about half an hour and am stumped.

If there's some method on a Member that's cool too

Oh.. I think it's Member.edit(suppress=False)

If that's wrong poke me, but it's there for posterity and ctrl + F

[tidal estuary]

Now I can't figure out how to get the TextChannel that gets stapled to every stage so I can send messages ._.

[opal hamlet]

Well maybe you can actually send messages to the stages channel id?

Just get or fetch it

[tidal estuary]

Nice. Haven't got to the line where I can even see if that part works yet, lol. I can't figure out why bot.fetch_stage_instance(id) is 404ing. I know the ID is right.

[autumn gust]

hm, so in general

what are cogs

[red mist]

Basically, you know how you can put all of your commands in your main.py file or bot.py file? You can put them in cogs which are basically an extra set of files which contain your commands.
Cogs themselves are actually the classes tho, for which you'd need to . :)

[lapis dock]

With prefix commands the nice thing with cogs is you could load/unload them without restarting yout bot. This does not work for slash commands though.

[little cobalt]

?

sync commands is working

[lapis dock]

Overall I dont think loading/unloading slash commands is good even if it technically works.

[stoic patio]

how do you find when ppl change their display names

bc it doesn't fire with on_user_update

it does for on_member_update, but it says "member object has no attribute global_name"

and i believe i'm using the latest version of pycord

[little cobalt]

And what is your version?

[stoic patio]

i installed with -U option, and it shows "0.1.1" when i do pip list

[lapis dock]

Can you show your full pip list please

[stoic patio]

(don't question the libraries with funny names)

[lapis dock]

You will need to uninstall

discord-components
discord-py-slash-command
DiscordUtils <- I think Unless it is literally just helper functions
pycord

Then uninstall and reinstall py-cord. Notice the dash, there is a different library (you also have installed) called pycord this is for something completely different.

[autumn gust]

hm, so a bot doesn't have to be just one file

neat

[opal hamlet]

Cogs ✨

[autumn gust]

hi D!

[opal hamlet]

Sup

[autumn gust]

my bot's alive and not heavily crippled

[opal hamlet]

Thats great

[lapis dock]

Also as a side note you should learn how to use venvs. You have a bunch of different librarys that your discord bot does not need. Venvs help keep the dependencys from different projects seperate.

[opal hamlet]

I can send you some crappy example code for cogs later

[autumn gust]

interesting

[autumn gust]

sure, just to understand what they are

[opal hamlet]

Aka some shit i'll strip of functionality

[autumn gust]

also lockdown still doesn't work after global

[opal hamlet]

Btw do you still hard code tokens? Probably yes?

[autumn gust]

yes

[opal hamlet]

Cring

[autumn gust]

do I just use a variable instead

[opal hamlet]

I'd recommend actual configs

[autumn gust]

or store it in another file and pull from that

[opal hamlet]

Externally

Yes

[lapis dock]

Use env varibles

[opal hamlet]

Some use txt, some json, many env i just use my sqlite3 db and initially enter the token via terminal input

[little cobalt]

you can use a env file or a json file for something like a token

[autumn gust]

I need to read up on what env files are

but json? yeah that's fine

[opal hamlet]

Environment

[autumn gust]

yes I know that much

but that's where my knowledge ends

[lapis dock]

the problem with txt/json is you can accidentally upload to git.

[opal hamlet]

isn't it py import python-dotenv

[autumn gust]

yall use git?🤓

[opal hamlet]

Lol who doesn't want someone to get their bot banned?

[autumn gust]

I use nothing, I live on the edge

[little cobalt]

you get a message from discord if you upload the token

[opal hamlet]

Backups are futile, prepare to lose all progress!

[opal hamlet]

Wait does discord search git for tokens inside files???

[autumn gust]

you mean in chat

that's just a warning

[stoic patio]

oh thx

[autumn gust]

also did anyone else already say your avatar is lowkey terrifying

[lapis dock]

At one point they invalidated tokens whne on git, I know it was broken for a while

[stoic patio]

the latest fully released version is 2.4.1 right

[opal hamlet]

the latest non dev version yes afaik

But i think the current dev is stable

[little cobalt]

no, check out #library-updates

[stoic patio]

oh

[lapis dock]

Yes, technically there is 2.5 but due to some issues in uper management we have been unable to put this on Pypi. There is a substitute in #library-updates as a temporary solution.

Main difference is username change

[opal hamlet]

Would it require me to change a buncha syntax?

If yes, nah thanks ill rather wait until i full developed my shit and then cry about having to change it

[stoic patio]

so i tried with 2.4.1

and when i change my display name, the member_update event fires twice

[lapis dock]

its not another fork it is literally just the person who has permissions to upload to pypi is unavailable so someone created a separate name for it.

[lapis dock]

if you are working with usernames you will need to use the "dev" version. Hopefully uninstalling the other librarys fixxed the other errors

[opal hamlet]

Yea ik, but did syntax change

[stoic patio]

oh ok

ic

[opal hamlet]

Like did naming convention of stuff change

[lapis dock]

Nope, except things that would have actually been updated. Like username stuff

It should be a drop in replacement

[opal hamlet]

Hmhm

Don't really remember the changelog

[red mist]

I thought it worked in the dev version

[stoic patio]

i uninstalled every discord library besides the dev pycord

and the other discordutils library cuz i need it

it still happens

where member_update fires twice

[lapis dock]

It might, not sure. Would you hit ratelimits fast if you had ~20 commands in a cog and reloaded it 10 times?

[red mist]

That is a good question

@little cobalt you know ab this?

[lapis dock]

are the before and after the same both times?
Try printing before.whatever username you are changing and the same for after

[stoic patio]

i did print([before.global_name, after.global_name])

[stoic patio]

yes they are

[tidal estuary]

I've been up for hours ._. how does one get the attached regular text channel if you have x = someStageChannel

[lapis dock]

Im not sure why that would be it is possible it is a bug. I have to go for now though sorry 🙁

[stoic patio]

ok bye

we'll just wait ig

[lapis dock]

The stage channel is the text channel, there is not another channel "attached". You can just do
StageChannel.send and other similar functions

[red mist]

Also one more question, when tf will @commands.isowner be available when only importing discord
and not also from discord.ext import commands

[tidal estuary]

I just get AttributeError: 'StageChannel' object has no attribute 'send_message', or 'send' or whatever I try

[lapis dock]

Can you show your pip list?

[tidal estuary]

nothing under discord, py-cord version 2.4.1

[autumn gust]

for an active developer badge, does your bot have to be public?

[lofty parcel]

No

[clear aurora]

Is there any problem with slash commands in a DM? On my server it´s working for everyone, if they dm the bot, it will not be shown for everyone.

[opal hamlet]

Well some commands are guild only

[clear aurora]

No they worked before

[opal hamlet]

Hmm

[clear aurora]

i did not change anything

[autumn gust]

odd

I had ran slash commands etc. yet it doesn't seem to pop up a prompt

like man

[autumn gust]

can you remove a reply from a slash command?

[red mist]

is there a guide about autocomplete, I literally don't understand it with options

like the @option decorator

[autumn gust]

[red mist]

I'm asking for the guide, not the docs.

docs is not guide

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands#autocomplete wait nvm found it

[autumn gust]

lol

that's essentially what my questions look like

I like to double check from now on since my reading skills are non existant

anyhow, is there any way to make the bot respond without used /speak?

[opal hamlet]

Uhhh since send apparently doesn't work(is it just the newer version? Works for me.) Probably ctx.defer() and then there's probably a ctx.followup.send or stuff

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.ApplicationContext.followup
discord.ApplicationContext.send_followup

[atomic fern]

how to create select menu options without decorator? i want to pass variable in it

[opal hamlet]

Do you want the select options to be passed into it?

[atomic fern]

yes

[opal hamlet]

I've struggled with that too, i can send you example code

Basically just py super().__init__() selectfunctionname.select_option = var_with_options

Maybe it was option instead of select_options, but basically that inside the classes init def

[atomic fern]

class Test(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, input):
        super().__init__()
        self.select_options = [SelectOption(label=input)]

like that or I'm misunderstood?

[opal hamlet]

Nah instead of the self use the function you decorated(?) As a select func

Gotta get to my pc to scramble for code lol

[atomic fern]

[opal hamlet]

I totally know what i am talking about yes

You know how code is you made at 3am

You just know that it works, not how

[atomic fern]

yep

i don't even know how super works

so, can you ping me if you are on pc

[opal hamlet]

class ConfigAboutme(discord.ui.View):  
    def __init__(self, user_id:int, locale:str):
        try:
            self.locale = locale
            localization = Localization(lang=locale).data
            self.user_id = user_id
            super().__init__(timeout=30)
                self.aoptions.extend(discord.SelectOption(label=info, value=info) for info in self.addops)
                self.addselect.options = self.aoptions
            else:
                self.addselect.disabled = True
            if len(self.remops) > 0:
                self.roptions.extend(discord.SelectOption(label=info, value=info) for info in self.remops)
                self.removeselect.options = self.roptions   
            else:
                self.removeselect.disabled = True
        except:
            logger.error(traceback.format_exc())
    
    @discord.ui.select(placeholder='Add a field to your Aboutme', options=[discord.SelectOption(label='Select an option', value='Placeholder')], row=0)
    async def addselect(self, select, interaction):
        try:
            select.disabled=False
            selval = select.values[0]```

@atomic fern ignore the undeclared vars and shit

the important part is py super.__init__() before py self.addselect.options = self.roptions

also use placeholders inside the decorator

[atomic fern]

ok thanks

[opal hamlet]

hope it works lol

[red mist]

Uhhh I had a massive struggle with autocomplete because I forgot to make my debug guilds enabled.
Im officially a dumbass

[opal hamlet]

lmao

[frail basin]

Any1 know why im getting this error:

for phone users

Also please ping me because i wont see it otherwise

[shell radish]

channel is not required if there is a default

[frail basin]

you mean the discord.TextChannel part?

[shell radish]

    channel: discord.Option(discord.TextChannel, "The channel where the giveaway should be hosted in.", default=gw_channel, required=True),

whatever this line is

[frail basin]

how would i get the user's input then?

[shell radish]

the issue is default=gw_channel

if there is a default, it will not be required

[frail basin]

i guess ill just remove the default part then

[little cobalt]

@red mist @lapis dock wants the ratelimit 100 commands for slash?

I mean how many you can load

[red mist]

I forgot what the hell I asked

[little cobalt]

Es ging um das ratelimit für slash commands

[red mist]

oh right this

if when reloading a cog

and it has more commands

wouldnt you hit the ratelimit quickly

because each command gets reloaded

[little cobalt]

so at the end you cannot really use reload

or you have to create for every bot a new dc account

[red mist]

lmao I actually built reload into smth cool

auto updating my bot

made a /update command which allows me to select either version or branch from github where to update to

now the cool thing is, it keeps track of active branches and versions that exist

within a minute, when releasing new code on the github repo, it changes the values in the autocomplete so that you can always select the latest

and it updates this by basically just reloading the cog, as that entire cog is just for that one command.

[little cobalt]

so reload and unload is working fine

[red mist]

well I sure hope so

@little cobalt do you know how to limit someone from using both options in a slash command, when having 2 but only 1 of the 2 should be used?

[little cobalt]

required=False?

you cannot remove a option from a slash command sadly

[red mist]

yeah that was pretty much my question

disabling an option

[fickle salmon]

You have to do it with logic in the function

[red mist]

Yeah by just responding with "You can only choose one.". That was in first instance not what I was trying to achieve, I wanted to know if it was possible to entirely disable other options.

[fickle salmon]

unless you want two slash commands, it's not possible

[jolly ledge]

builtin_function_or_method What does this mean?

I'm trying to iterate over a text file and search for bad words inside a user's message

[red mist]

K thanks

[sudden agate]

is there any way to move mocks (MagicMock) to garbage collection? currently having issues with mem leaks, found out it's because of the mocks

[shell radish]

what

[atomic fern]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an
exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In components.0.components.0.options.5: The specified option value is already used
In components.0.components.0.options.7: The specified option value is already used

what is this? can't send view

[sudden agate]

right so basically we use mocks to manipulate my bot in certain ways, but the mocks never go to gc

[shell radish]

send code for view

[shell radish]

you haven’t provided any detail regarding implementation so it’s hard to say

[sudden agate]

mk

[atomic fern]

nvm simple mistake

[opal hamlet]

Sounds like duplicate options in your list?

[sonic sorrel]

what could be the causes for this error? it's caused by a random person so its hard to understand why it happened or how to handle it, but maybe they deleted the bot message?

[shell radish]

yeah that sounds plausible

[sonic sorrel]

i accidently ctrl C'd but there was some other errors too

like missing webhook

it just didnt seem like a one-off someone manually deleting the message

[red mist]

what was the default time for a button to expire?

[little cobalt]

3 or 5 minutes

Im not sure

[red mist]

I know I'ts possible to customly set these but, what's the limit to the custom time?

[little cobalt]

its 3 minutes without

[red mist]

ah

[little cobalt]

Im not sure if there is a limit for it and if there is one I dont know how long

[red mist]

ty

[strong rain]

Default values to classes have been stated in the class's documented description, if in case you needed default values of other classes
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.View

[red mist]

wait this is a thing?

lmfao that makes it easy.

ig I should've re read the doc >~<

Wew

whoever made that, I thank you

[little cobalt]

yes

[strong rain]

Can anyone tell me how can I implement Discord's US public release of App Subscriptions, from this article link?
https://discord.com/developers/docs/monetization/app-subscriptions

If it's in the library that is

[lofty parcel]

I don't think pycord supports that

[strong rain]

Would love to have App Premium implemented to the library hopefully in the future

[fickle salmon]

Put it in #suggestions 🙂

[obsidian stratus]

Does a guild ban object/entry have a timestamp attribute

[shell radish]

which object are you referring to here?

[obsidian stratus]

BanEntry

[shell radish]

no

[obsidian stratus]

I seem to have found the answer

[shell radish]

you can try finding it in the auditlog tho

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[obsidian stratus]

yup I’ll have to store that manually thanks

[obsidian stratus]

hassle tbh, I’ll try to manage storing only bans using the bot I’m coding

Anyway thanks!

[shell radish]

yw

[strong rain]

I did use </suggest:1094425102747185285> instead, since the bot for #suggestions does not work

[shell radish]

use github issues

[shell radish]

#suggestions is strictly for this server, not the library btw

[strong rain]

Thanks!

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/issues/2234

Not sure if I did it right, but I tried my best

[fickle salmon]

GitHub then

[rancid arrow]

I have two discord.OptionChoice's with true and false for names for a slash command option but im getting

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In 27.options.0.options.3.options.2.choices.0.value: Could not interpret "1" as string.
In 27.options.0.options.3.options.2.choices.1.value: Could not interpret "0" as string.

the command is under a subgroup if that changes anything

and the option is

discord.Option(name = "no_dm", choices = [discord.OptionChoice("True", 1), discord.OptionChoice("False", 0)], default = False, required = False)

[deft kestrel]

You can just do no_dm: Option(bool, required=True)

[rancid arrow]

oh wow i forgot Option had an input type

congrats me

ty

but why is OptionChoice broken like that, docs says value can be an int

[shell radish]

value has to be the same type as the option type

iirc

[hazy turret]

Why is my message not displayed ephemerally?
I use ctx.defer() at the beginning because it can be that the function takes a little longer so that I don't get an interaction failed and then I want to send the confirmation message at the end with followup but it should be ephemeral?

await ctx.followup.send(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)```

[little cobalt]

You have to add it to both

[hazy turret]

So then like this?

await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True)
await ctx.followup.send(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

[little cobalt]

Yes

[hazy turret]

Okay thanks!

[rain flax]

how to send a msg in voice channel chat?

[lapis dock]

Just treat the voice channel as a normal text channel
It has a send function too.

[rain flax]

Thanks

[barren adder]

Anyone aware of changes to the guild.members property?
I have a bot with member intents and some of the commands require the total list of members.
For months, len(guild.members) has produced an accurate result but now it seems to give a number somewhere between 1 and all members
I'm using get_guild() not fetch_guild() so it's not that. I do still get some or all members depending on the server

[proud lynx]

That's the expected results, use guild.member_count instead for an accurate count every time. You need the intent tho.

Anyways, I need help. When I view the server as anyone besides an admin, my slash commands are hidden, even though Integrations has it set to allow everyone, explicitly.

[deft kestrel]

Does the channel have application commands permission enabled?

[proud lynx]

They all do.

[proud lynx]

Strangely, even when I create overrides per-command setting them to enabled, even that won't impact it.

Still hidden. Verified with all the roles, all the channels, no dice, but immediately shows back up when I got back to my Admin role.

Any admin role will have them show, to be clear.

[deft kestrel]

hmm, and this is enabled right?

[barren adder]

Fair enough. What if I need more member info? Is there no simple way to get the entire member list?

I swear guild.members used to do that

[proud lynx]

That would be awaiting guild.fetch_members. Better yet, use discord.utils.get_or_fetch().

[barren adder]

Gotcha

[proud lynx]

For everyone, yes.

[barren adder]

Is it possibly a proximity bot permission? I don't know anything about that bot

[proud lynx]

Let me look back over it.

[proud lynx]

No, should be fine.

Proximity is the bot I'm developing, for context.

[barren adder]

Oh, gotcha

[proud lynx]

What on earth could possibly prevent non-admins from it? Certainly nothing in the code?

[barren adder]

Well, something in the code could do it

[deft kestrel]

Did you also try enabling that permissions specifically for the channel? Also how are you setting the permissions for the command in your code?

[autumn gust]

any way to make a slash command NOT respond to the user?

[little cobalt]

What do you mean by that?

[autumn gust]

like, /send text makes the bot send text with a reply like "Kriislol used the /send command"

I'd like it to just say text, that's it

[little cobalt]

You could send a hidden message first and after that a normal text message

An you cannot remove the "name used x command"

[autumn gust]

WAIT, what if:
I get the channel ID, and send a message to it

while the reply is an ephemeral

[little cobalt]

That is not anymore an Interaction and ephermeral only works with Interactions

[autumn gust]

I mean like

have an ephemeral "Done!", and then get the channel ID of where the command was used

and then send {text} to there

[little cobalt]

If you would do ctx.send it just send a normal message in the same channel

[autumn gust]

wait, so don't use ctx.reply and use ctx.send?

or ctx.reply ephemeral and ctx.send normal

[little cobalt]

ephermeral works with ctx.respond and not with ctx.reply/send

[autumn gust]

there's a difference?

oh

[little cobalt]

ctx.respond is for slash commands

the other are for prefix commands

But if you do a hidden ctx.respond and after that a ctx.send/reply that would work

[autumn gust]

this worked perfectly

[autumn gust]

hidden ctx.respond you mean just ephemeral right

[little cobalt]

Yes

[edgy nest]

I wouldn't 100% trust view as role

[proud lynx]

Yeah?

I'm having a session with a bug tester in about 4 hours and they can confirm/deny.

[edgy nest]

just make an alt account

[proud lynx]

Booo.

[shell wharf]

hey guys. I've just started and.. I already have got problems.. 😄 hello world worked out well. But now I wanted to access it from an saved aditor writing by using this: cd c:/python/hello.py
But it says the directory name is invalid and I really dont get it

[edgy nest]

hello.py is not a directory

[proud lynx]

Yeah, you just go to C:/python/.

That's the directory you need and you can access hello.py from there.

If you use the os library, you can do print(os.getcwd()) to see what your current working directory is.

And then just work out the relative path.

[shell wharf]

well that was fast 😄 thank you very much! You will see me asking some more stupid / simple questions

[red mist]

lmfao make a bot which welcomes users to the server under that file name

[opal hamlet]

Yeah, a thing i also like to do using pathlibs Path and sys is to always define directories using

Path(sys.path[0], 'subdir')```

[white stump]

i want to participate in a hackathon, can you tell what all should i learn

[hallow copper]

haiiiii ppls

[thorn sapphire]

Given an instance of discord.sinks (say, a my_sink = discord.sinks.MP4Sink()) how do I save the contents of my_sink.audio_data.items() to disk?

Normally, I send the files to chat, like

audio_files = [discord.File(audio.file, f'{user_id}.{sink.encoding}')
                   for user_id, audio in my_sink.audio_data.items()]

But what about saving it to disk?

[edgy nest]

audio.file appears to be raw bytes

just write that to a file

[jolly ledge]

How can I count the amount of time a user has spent inside a voice channel efficiently ?

[proper dew]

Hey, quick question. Can one await discord.utils.get(guild.roles,...) command?

[lofty parcel]

get isn't a coroutine

[proper dew]

and is there any other way to wait for the role to be successfully stored in a variable? This gives me errors from time to time when I want to change the role of a user afterwards, because the program then does not have the role yet.

[lofty parcel]

How would awaiting it solve your issue

[proper dew]

because then I can pass the variable into the remove_roles(role) command and it won't generate the error that role is of NoneType.

[lofty parcel]

And you're using get because you're searching it by name?

[limber terrace]

[proper dew]

by id, yes

[lofty parcel]

That's not name

.rtfm guild.get_role

[sly karma]

1 results

discord.Guild.get_role

[proper dew]

wait, sorry, my mistake, I searched by name

[white sparrow]

Hey, I recently came back to creating discord bots after a while and struggle with creating permission predicates for slash commands. For text commands I always created a decorator which returned a predicate wrapped by ext.commands.check(). This doesn't seem to work anymore (using the old decorator on a slash command). Can anyone help me out there? Thanks :)

[shell radish]

show code?

[white sparrow]

def is_owner():
    async def check(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        if ctx.bot.is_owner(ctx.author):  # type: ignore
            return True
        else:
            raise NotOwner

    return commands.check(check)

[little cobalt]

and what is the error?

[white sparrow]

No error, just anyone can use the command

[shell radish]

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

[little cobalt]

is that for the bot owner only?

[shell radish]

how did you decorate the slash command

[white sparrow]

The is_owner was more like an example

[shell radish]

I remember there being some stupid edge case where it has to be a specific order

[white sparrow]

@discord.slash_command(
        name="reload",
        description="Hot-reload all or selected cogs.",
    )
@discord.option(
    name="module",
    description="The module to be reloaded.",
    type=str,
    choices=BOT.cogs_to_load,
    required=False,
)
@is_owner()
    async def reload(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, module: str):
        ...

last one

[shell radish]

I'm assuming the indentation is correct

[white sparrow]

yes

maybe the is_owner without parentheses? Nope

[shell radish]

maybe the predicate should be above the option(s)?

[white sparrow]

I will try

Still not

I does indeed work with commands.is_owner(), but this was more like an example

[shell radish]

try using [e-mail]() decor instead

[dense dirge]

Anybody know how to load opus with an m1 mac? I was trying this https://guide.pycord.dev/voice/receiving but I got an error that opus didn't load

[tawny ether]

is it possible to change bot's profile picture using code?

[unkempt cipher]

not per server but the global avatar yes, should be

[tawny ether]

so for custom server profile for bot i will need to take their token and use their bot?

i will need to look how can i do that then

[opal hamlet]

Depending on use case some stuff could probably be done using Webhooks, tho i never used them and can only say that much

[tawny ether]

i am making a discord bots for general use (i mean not custom bot for a person), so a user of my bot asked whether it is possible for them to change pfp and name

so it can match with their server

[opal hamlet]

I see, yeah no idea sry

[tawny ether]

its fine, thanks for trying 🙂

[little cobalt]

at which line?

[frail basin]

guild.get_role(984842845208866916).members

outputs []
but the role has 10 members

any ideas?

[stoic patio]

are you sure you have member intent enabled?

[frail basin]

yes

@bot.slash_command(name="test", guild=guild, description="A test command!")
async def test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, role: discord.Role):
    await ctx.interaction.response.send_message(content="Thinking...", ephemeral=True)
    
    if ctx.interaction.user.id == 603880226631450624:
        role2 = guild.get_role(984842845208866916)
        print(role.members)
        print(role2.members)
        await ctx.interaction.edit_original_response(content="Success!")
    else: 
        await ctx.interaction.edit_original_response("Only @frail basin can use this command!")

role.members returns a long list of roles, but
role2.members returns []

role is the same as role2

[stoic patio]

can you pls show more code

oh

nvm

try using discord.Intents.all()

[frail basin]

this might be easier to read

[frail basin]

i am using that

[stoic patio]

then idk

also i have a question: why does on_member_join literally only fire once (the first time after the bot restarts), then it doesn't fire anymore

[little cobalt]

?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.

[frail basin]

thanks

[stoic patio]

this also applies to on_member_remove

[frail basin]

i switched to fetch_roles but it still doesnt work

role.id outputs the correct ID btw, its just that role.members is empty

[deft kestrel]

Try

role2 = ctx.guild.get_role(int)
if role2:
   print("Role Found")
else:
  try:
    role2 = ctx.guild.fetch_role(int)
    print("Role Found")
  except:
    print("Role not found.")

[little cobalt]

@deft kestrel

[deft kestrel]

Hows that?

[red mist]

What were the limits as in command limits of a discord bot again?

How many commands can it have;
globally privately subcommands and root's of subcommands?

[shell radish]

You can have 100 commands, and each command can have up to 25 sub-command groups. Each sub-command group can have up to 25 sub-commands.

100 x 25 x 25 = 62.5k

Of course, "slash commands can have a maximum of 4000 characters for combined name, description, and value properties for each command and its subcommands and groups", so you're not likely to hit that 62.5k command limit

This can be doubled again with guild commands

[red mist]

Thank you very much

You should put that into a tag lol

[shell radish]

it is, I just don't know the name

?tag create cmd-limits You can have 100 commands, and each command can have up to 25 sub-command groups. Each sub-command group can have up to 25 sub-commands.

100 x 25 x 25 = 62.5k

Of course, "slash commands can have a maximum of 4000 characters for combined name, description, and value properties for each command and its subcommands and groups", so you're not likely to hit that 62.5k command limit

This can be doubled again with guild commands

[limber wagon]

Tag cmd-limits created.

[red mist]

Oh lol

So that's a total of 125K individual commands.

Damn

[autumn gust]

OKAY! guys

I need to know if this is theoritically possible

[opal hamlet]

It's not

[autumn gust]

okay so like, I have another python script which takes my input right

and then, when the bot script detects that a new thing has passed through to it

it forces the bot to say a message in a specific channel I set it to

it could be possible

[opal hamlet]

Sounds like something you'd do with sockets or shit, maybe rpyc, or just create a task that checks an external storage like a db and compares it via f.e. the last timestamp where a input was provided

That's something i'd have to look into at one point again too

[autumn gust]

hhhhhh

on a scale of 1/10

how complicated do you think it is

[opal hamlet]

Doable if you find the right stuff

[autumn gust]

ahhhhh

[opal hamlet]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncore.html

Smth like this

@autumn gust https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-stream.html might be better

Dunno for sure tho

[shell radish]

sounds like just using a Discord webhook

no need for the bot shenanigans

[autumn gust]

except: I want the bot to send the message

[shell radish]

any specific reason?

On an unrelated note, you can also run the "communication" part through Discord as well

[opal hamlet]

Two instances/using the same token?

[shell radish]

there's many ways to go about implementing it

[opal hamlet]

That'd be whack with interaction tho

[shell radish]

depends on implementation

[opal hamlet]

Hmmm is there a prefix only bot Version that completely ignores application commands etc.?

[shell radish]

you can ignore interactions compleletly by overriding on_interaction

[opal hamlet]

Fair

I guess that might actually be, depending on what he's trying to achieve a somewhat easier solution then

What would you recommend tho for communication between bots? Have a bot that triggers multiple bots to play sounds in a specific server, like a multichannel soundboard that was... using ram like crazy

[shell radish]

I used a poll-based API and it worked fine

[opal hamlet]

Hmmm

[shell radish]

there's probably better solutions like websockets and such

[opal hamlet]

Yeah i used websockets... wasn't really optimal, maybe just my implementation because iirc just the classic sockets websocket was blocking the bot by listening

I managed to fix that, but in doing that it started accumulating about 200-300mb ram and then crashed(after 10 hours)

[shell radish]

Oh I kinda lied a bit, because it wasn't for discord bots

[opal hamlet]

Hmm still seems like it could do the job

What did you use for the api tho

[shell radish]

fastapi

and uvicorn

[opal hamlet]

... i think my issue would be that i have 5 bots i need to send it to... 5 apis?

[shell radish]

I don't know your system ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[opal hamlet]

Basically German Starmarine needs to send some kind of command/trigger to each of my gs bots

[shell radish]

why not Discord message event stuff

[opal hamlet]

My system to do that was just a for loop that connected to each bots socket and sent a message like f.e. play_soundpath, or stopplayback

[opal hamlet]

Hmhm i think i tried that but it may have been prefix commands and not on message events, could work ye

[red mist]

@little cobalt You said 1 cog per command, how do you do it with cog description, generally, what do you put in those, do you even use them?

Because you can also fetch command descriptions and names so...

Other question, how do you do it with subcommands?

[little cobalt]

I said that I do 1 cog per command to have it clean ;3

I dont use cog descriptions

[little cobalt]

what do you mean with subcommands?

How I get them to the other cogs?

[red mist]

Yes

if you have a folder call it developer (for developer commands)

and you have multiple cogs in it, restart.py and stop.py

how do you make both of them in the same subcommand group

/developer stop

/developer restart

[little cobalt]

https://github.com/Dorukyum/pycord-multicog/tree/main

[red mist]

ahhhhhhhh right

[little cobalt]

from pycord.multicog import apply_multicog

client.load_extensions()

apply_multicog(client) # after you load the cogs

[little cobalt]

you just have one file with the normal command group and at the other files you just add

from pycord.multicog import add_to_group

@add_to_group(name="Name")
@slash_command()

you dont really have to change anything at the cogs

only add the group

[red mist]

oh wow. thats easier than I thought

[little cobalt]

its really easy

[little cobalt]

and for sub group you just add the sub group name

If py-cord-dev is installed you have to uninstall py-cord because pycord-multicog installs py-cord

[red mist]

ah

well we'll see when it gets put into 2.5

I hope

[little cobalt]

Its currently not planned to get added to 2.5

Or they said it like that

[red mist]

wait wait wait what

so this wont work in 2.5?

🤔

[little cobalt]

what?

Why should it not work?

[red mist]

multicogs

[red mist]

idfk

[little cobalt]

Its not like V3 x3

[red mist]

uh

oh

I think my last 2 braincells just gave up

[little cobalt]

xd

[red mist]

should probably sleep

[little cobalt]

Same

[red mist]

ah well

[little cobalt]

Because of my Surgery soon

[red mist]

oh

[wicked dirge]

How do I verify a Member? Like as in what this button does

[red mist]

Even I dont know this, but I was too lazy to google it.
So uh I suggest to google it >~<

[wicked dirge]

No relevant results, nothing in docs by "verify" or "pending"

im asking in support for a reason

[red mist]

not in discord docs?

Well then, I just googled

[little cobalt]

Are you sure its from a bot?

Can you show more than this?

[wicked dirge]

Looks like this isnt supported by pycord, found it in nextcord docs

[red mist]

Basically;

The Verify Member button bypasses the filtering rules you set up on your Discord server for new members. With this option, the server moderators can verify members manually, and the user doesn’t have to follow the verification process.

[shadow junco]

how to create a voice channel in a category (id is 1094616998169825330)

[lofty parcel]

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

[shell radish]

If you don't have the actual channel object then fetch the channel

[lofty parcel]

Squid you really like hyperlinks

[shell radish]

🤥

[shadow junco]

but fetch channel don't return category

[shell radish]

categories are channels

[shadow junco]

@bot.event
async def on_voice_state_update(member, before, after):
    if before.channel is None and after.channel.id == int('1094617038351241366'):
        category = bot.fetch_channel('1094616998169825330')
        channel = await category.create_voice_channel(name=member.name)
        await bot.move_to(channel=channel)

AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'create_voice_channel'

[mild sorrel]

when i try to import discord it says this:
TypeError: function() argument 'code' must be code, not str

[shell radish]

you never awaited it

[arctic plover]

category = await bot.fetch_channel('1094616998169825330')

[shadow junco]

ok

[shadow junco]

why you can make the words in the codeblock have color

[arctic plover]

just this:

print('Code here')

[shadow junco]

tks a lot

[arctic plover]

np

[shadow junco]

I change my code to this and it works

if before.channel is None and after.channel.id == 1094617038351241366:
        category = bot.get_channel(1094616998169825330)
        channel = await category.create_voice_channel(name=member.name)
        await member.move_to(channel=channel)```

[arctic plover]

because channel_id must be int

not str

in your code channel_id is string

didnt see

[late marlin]

async def rps(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, opponent: discord.User):
    print(f"{ctx.message}") # this prints None. I want to keep ctx to edit the message on timout

[opal hamlet]

its an interaction not a message, innit?

i think you'd need smth like ctx.interaction.response.edit() or similar

try

await ctx.respond('message')
await ctx.interaction.response.edit_message('othermessage')```

[arctic plover]

what`s your intents?

[late marlin]

thanks - I did filter some out, didn't want Admin.

[late marlin]

await ctx.interaction.edit_original_response() won't work. the damned editor won't let me prefix await. and edit_message just doesn't exist. ctx is discord.ApplicationContext - is that the right type?

[arctic plover]

does your bot have message_content intent?

[opal hamlet]

should be i think, not too proficient if imma be honest

[late marlin]

ok. this is weird. ctx.response.edit_message() is fine in the original call function, but if I pass ctx to another function, to save for later, then self.__ctx.response.edit_message() doesn't exist. I think I'm using the wrong type.

[arctic plover]

Tell me in detail what you want to do

[late marlin]

I want to edit the message after timeout.

when someone presses a button I have the interaction, so no problem, but on timeout I don't

I tried keeping the context of the original slash command

when I call locally it works, but the saved context doesn't do the job. I get very strange inconsistencies.

[opal hamlet]

How about you know, you try to get/fetch the message later?

And edit that

[late marlin]

this is accepted:

async def rps(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    await ctx.response.edit_message()```

this is rejected: because: *await allowed only with async*
```ctx = discord.ApplicationContext() # returned from function, not None
await ctx.response.edit_message()```

using editor: VS Code
could that be the problem?
both cases refer to the same type, don't they?
what's going on?

[arctic plover]

in 2nd your ctx is None

[late marlin]

yes, None at runtime. but the compiler won't ever recognise it as the right object. I've tried variations of this, where ctx is passed as an argument and was not None.

[arctic plover]

did you try use global?

to keep it

[late marlin]

yes. that's the example.

I edited the example

[arctic plover]

can you send whole your code?

[late marlin]

problem solved.... (edit) ```
import discord
import os # default module
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import time

load_dotenv()
bot = discord.Bot()

ctx = discord.commands.context.ApplicationContext()

await ctx.response.edit_message(content="global")

^^^^^ compiler error

class RPSView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self, ctx: discord.commands.context.ApplicationContext):
super().init()
print(f"{ctx}") # returns <discord.commands.context.ApplicationContext object at ...> not None
self.__ctx = ctx

def test(self, user, choice):
    # await self.__ctx.response.edit_message(content="test")
    # ^^^ compiler error
    pass

@discord.ui.button(label="button", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
async def button_callback(self, button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.edit_message(content="button")
    # works fine
    # self.test()
    # ^^^^^^^^^^^ what I want to write

@bot.slash_command()
async def rps(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
await ctx.respond("first", view=self.rpsview)
# ^^^ this works
time.sleep(3)
await ctx.response.edit_message(content="command")
# ^^^ this compiles but doesn't work

@bot.event
async def on_timeout():
# savedrpsview.test()
# ^^^^^^^^^^^ what I want to write
pass

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

[arctic plover]

Describe step by step how it should work\

[late marlin]

1. user calls command
2. game sends one message that it edits continuously - this works if done through the interaction
3. game ends after timeout and edits message (no interaction to reference, unfortunately)

I tried to create a function test that would handle editing the message since on_timeout event cannot.

[late marlin]

solved

        await self.__ctx.interaction.edit_original_response(content="timeout",view=None)```

not sure why the other functions didn't like await, but this works

thanks for looking :D

[opal hamlet]

time.sleep bad, use await asyncio.sleep()

[arctic plover]

fr

[late marlin]

thanks. it was just for the example. ctx behaves strangely when passed as argument.

[arctic plover]

i wanted to say too

[opal hamlet]

wasnt time.sleep simply blocking or smth? just remember THAT its bad

[arctic plover]

nah

just time.sleep() breaks async function

[opal hamlet]

ah

[arctic plover]

literally turns it into a regular function

[little cobalt]

time.sleep() is blocking the entire bot

[late marlin]

nah. it had issues before i imported time. i just wanted to check several functions in one run. anyhow. it's solved now. although there's still a type mystery when passing ctx

[opal hamlet]

wdym type mistery

[little cobalt]

If you want to use something like time.sleep() you should use asyncio.sleep() instead

[arctic plover]

if u dont want to stop the whole script

[little cobalt]

Yes

[late marlin]

this https://discordapp.com/channels/881207955029110855/1132206148309749830/1157972748753174581

[opal hamlet]

well... is the second func async?

[little cobalt]

why do you use ctx.interaction.x instead of just ctx.respond?

[opal hamlet]

its about the editing of an already sent message iirc

[little cobalt]

For that you could use ctx.edit()

Or do you mean the original response?

[late marlin]

yes. anyhow, I did find a solution to the problem I had, but the type issue is still weird

[valid panther]

I'm checking the documentation of the timeout on the buttons, but it should be like that, right?

[little cobalt]

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

here is anything for buttons

[valid panther]

yes ik

I'm using that page

[little cobalt]

;3

[valid panther]

ye ik

The problem I am reflecting is that the disable _all_items is not behaving normally. It is not performing its function

[little cobalt]

what do you mean with that?

[valid panther]

the normal behaviour of disable_all_items(), is to disable the buttons by changing their values to disable = TRUE. In this case, it does not perform its function

[little cobalt]

Do you also edit the message?

[valid panther]

fix

I have been reading the one that returns the disable_all_items() method and it returns nothing, it just makes the change so it does not do the action.

[oblique osprey]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to handle my bot being disconnected from a voice channel. Is there an event I can listen for or am I going to have to check the state every time?

[opal hamlet]

@oblique osprey

[oblique osprey]

ah ok so I'd have to listen to that and then check the member param to see if it matches my bot

[opal hamlet]

Probably, never used that event 😅

[oblique osprey]

I'm surprised there's not an event on VoiceClient I can hook into

[opal hamlet]

Might be 🤷 i just did a bit of while eating

[oblique osprey]

Nah there's not, I read the docs before I asked

Ig I'll try and rewrite my code to make state easier to track

[elfin quarry]

Are general python questions (code using py-cord) allowed?

[little cobalt]

What is the python question?

[elfin quarry]

i'll make a help thread and tag you there if you dont mind

[trim escarp]

Hello everyone, it's my first time trying this library (before I only worked with Telegram bots)
I copied the example from https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/installing.html#basic-concepts (using my token, of course)
But the problem is that I don't see message content, it's empty string. Tried to google the issue, ticked the "Message content intent" checkbox in bot's settings, but message content is still empty string :(

[opal hamlet]

Yeah no that's probably an outdated example, if you used the one i think you did

[trim escarp]

Hmm, yeah, because the "quickstart" example (https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/quickstart.html) works fine and it explicitly includes message content.

[opal hamlet]

Try

import discord

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

@bot.event
async def on_message(ctx):
   await ctx.respond(...)

bot.run(token)```

Probably want smth more like that, i wrote that on mobile so don't expect much from that

[trim escarp]

Thanks! Could you also please answer a couple of my "newbie" questions?

1. What is guild? I suppose it's a "Server" here, right? So guild id means "server id"?
2. What are Intents? How they are different from events? (upd: I guess, https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/intents)

Oh, and 3. What's the difference between Client and Bot in code?

[opal hamlet]

client was also kinda used for user accounts IIRC, bot self botting is now against TOS, both work as bots but bot is just the common thing now

and to 1, yes

[trim escarp]

Okay, so I should use Bot class, okay.

[opal hamlet]

ye

if you want i can send you some random, semi efficient code for a bot itself if you have server you use for debugging/testing

[trim escarp]

Is it possible to just send a message to some topic without receiving and event first?
For example, if I want to use some specific Discord server as my notifications dashboard

[trim escarp]

Yes, please! The more the better

[opal hamlet]

ill dm you

[little cobalt]

why ctx?...

that is a message event

[little cobalt]

ok?

[opal hamlet]

i crapped smth together on mobile in a couple of secs, brain empty

[grizzled loom]

Hey Guys, I am building shut-down behaviour atm.
I was wondering if its possible to do without "import asyncio" as in the example created so far, cause pycord may already has the needed equivalent of asyncio.run ?

import asyncio
import atexit

async def my_function():
  # code here

atexit.register(asyncio.run(my_function())

[upper flint]

Is there a method to change the status of a discord.VoiceChannel? Or is it still not implemented yet?

[little cobalt]

Do you gonna run it with a command?

[grizzled loom]

no. the bot should run it when it gets shut down by itself.

[trim escarp]

What are the limits for sending files by bot?

[little cobalt]

At one message?

[trim escarp]

For example, I want to send txt file with logs.
Some official doc (https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message) say: "The maximum request size when sending a message is 25 MiB"
Is it file size limit?

[shell radish]

yes

[trim escarp]

Thank you

[frail basin]

any ideas why this didnt fire?

@tasks.loop(time=datetime.time(hour=18, minute=30, tzinfo=pytz.timezone("CEST")), reconnect=True)
async def schedule():
    print("something")

[shell radish]

last time i checked, only utc worked and did you start the task?

[frail basin]

how do i start it

nevermind that, where / when should i start it?

rn i just put schedule into on_ready()

will that work?

[shell radish]

sure

[frail basin]

worked, cheers

[tepid coyote]

for bridge commands can you make the slash commands grouped and the prefix commands normal. e.g /music play <x> and .play <x>

[shell radish]

just make two different commands

make a slash command and a text-based command separately

[tepid coyote]

okie

cheers

[shell radish]

If you want to share a callback make another function thing

[slender lantern]

One of my slash commands has a file option (for users to upload a file). This always gave me the URL pointing to the file once uploaded to Discord. Now, however, it's giving me a string of numbers, such as 1158187008557060226. Did something change?

[shell radish]

might be related to #discord-api-updates message. Will look into it

[slender lantern]

I wondered about that, but it just says new parameters. Thanks for looking into it

[shell radish]

mind creating a github issue?

[slender lantern]

Not home right now but can later. So it’s a library issue?

[fickle salmon]

It's giving you just a snowflake?

[slender lantern]

Yeah

[fickle salmon]

No code changes?

[slender lantern]

Nope

Was hoping it was just a Discord bug

[fickle salmon]

interesting

[slender lantern]

Worth noting I’m on 2.4.x; 2.5 looks to have some breaking changes for me, and I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of the current semi-workaround to install it

But I don’t see anything in the changelog indicating there’s a fix for this issue

[fickle salmon]

I don't think 2.5 would touch this code path

The latest update for 2.5 is before this change I believe

[shell radish]

I still can't reproduce it

[slender lantern]

Okay, I managed to log in to my logging system on my phone, and it looks like it is in fact due to the ephemeral stuff

Guess my code isn't robust enough to account for it 😅

[shell radish]

must be something you're doing because the library is working as intended

[slender lantern]

Yeah, I'm just doing an "endswith" instead of using urlparse. Easy fix

Anyway, thanks for the help!

[red pagoda]

Is it possible to create description for each option in choices?

[mild sorrel]

how to make image appear at the top of an embed above the description?

[deft kestrel]

You mean the author icon?

[mild sorrel]

no, like an image that you set with URL

[deft kestrel]

You can set the author icon with a URL.

Do you have an example?

[latent viper]

sent ephemerally I guess?

[hazy turret]

I have an embed where I dynamically add buttons via the view. So every user who clicks on the button should have his own instance and the callback of the button should be only for the user so that there is no overlap with other users or do I see it wrong?

view = ShopView(categories)
await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)

class ShopView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, categories):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        for category, emoji in categories.items():
            self.add_item(Button(label=category, emoji=emoji, custom_id=category))

class Button(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, label, emoji, custom_id):
        super().__init__(
            label=label,
            style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary,
            emoji=emoji,
            custom_id=custom_id,
        )

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):```

[lapis dock]

Yes, everytime you do view = ShopView(categories) it will create a new view object. When you create this view you also create X new button objects. So even if the button looks the same it is different. There will be no overlap.

[hazy turret]

I have found my problem. The view with the buttons is created once, so each callback from the buttons is in the same instance. I then created another button in this instance and assigned it a fixed custom_id. So if 2 users wanted to press the button at the same time, it didn't work for the first user. I have now the custom_id of the second button also dynamically generated that this is not the same, so each user can also use only his button and everything works fine 🙂

[late marlin]

QQ: discord.ui.Modal has callback() for submit. what if the user cancels? where can I catch that event?

[little cobalt]

You cannot catch that

[opal hamlet]

Just timeout IG?

[late marlin]

pity. thanks anyhow

[stoic patio]

why does [activity for activity in member.activities if isinstance(activity, discord.CustomActivity)] sometimes include a member's custom status but other times it doesn't

[upper flint]

Is there a method to change the status of a discord.VoiceChannel? Or is it still not implemented yet?

[lapis dock]

It might have something to do with the cache. Could you try fetching the user and see if that makes it work every time?

[stoic patio]

like member.guild.get_member?

[lapis dock]

You would need to use fetch_user(id) to fetch

.rtfm fetch_user

[lapis dock]

It is a method of your bot

[stoic patio]

does that contribute to rate limit

[lapis dock]

This is not the best solution as it requires an API call but I think discord does not give activity unless you specifically fetch the member

[stoic patio]

because i want something that's able to work every time someone joins a server

[lapis dock]

It would, you could check if you have a status first. Then if you don't fetch.

[stoic patio]

wdym by "have a status"

.activities sometimes includes customactivities, other times it doesn't

even though teh user's status is unchanged

(i meant always had a status)

[lapis dock]

If this returns a custom status you don't need to fetch.

[stoic patio]

but that is wrong, and we don't know if the member joining ACTUALLY has no status if that returns nothing

[lapis dock]

Yes but if they still don't after fetching you know they do not have one.

[stoic patio]

also i think most people who join a server don't necessarily have one

i wanna minimize my api calls

[opal hamlet]

Limits are meant to be broken /j

[lapis dock]

I understand, I just am unsure if there is a better way. Can you test and if that does not work it is know there is a bug

[stoic patio]

why doesn't [activity for activity in member.activities if isinstance(activity, discord.CustomActivity)] always contain custom activities tho

[lofty parcel]

Probably cache.

[stoic patio]

but then, when a member joins a guild, why does it sometimes contain that info but other times not

that's kinda inconsistent

and it SEVERELY messes with ppl

cuz what if you wanted to make something that kicked ppl with offensive custom statuses

but it doesn't always work cuz of platform limitations

[burnt gate]

there's any way to get ppl activities time?

[lofty parcel]

I haven't had problems with it

[stoic patio]

how

it doesn't always work for new members

i just realized lol, there's often a slight delay in joining --> actually being cached

[autumn gust]

oh sorry I didn't get notif for this and totally forgot about it

just for the funnies

and so it's easier than typing /send text:abcdef each time

also, is there a way to check if a message has an embed, and if it does, include a link, if it doesn't, do something else?

[mild sorrel]

i mean like an actual image like attachment

[stoic patio]

under what circumstances is Member.joined_at equal to None

[opal hamlet]

When they left the server already i guess

Or similar maybe?

[lofty parcel]

You won't have a member object outside a guild

[lapis dock]

Discord docs do not mark it as optional so either it is never None or it is a cache thing.

[lofty parcel]

Prob cache tbh

[stoic patio]

is the custom status not always being received on member join also a cache issue

[little cobalt]

client.sync_commands

[lofty parcel]

Why are you passing self?

And assuming you're inside the bot class

self is your bot

No?

sync_commands is a bot method

bot is self

This is why you to learn OOP

[shell radish]

no, it's a Discord issue since they don't provide that info on join.

[stoic patio]

oh

i see

also why does on_presence_update look like it runs twice evn though my i only have 1 mutual server with the bot

[stoic patio]

is there a way to solve this issue

it's like sometimes we get it, other times we don't

[fickle salmon]

Get the user afterwards to fill in the field

[stoic patio]

wdym

[sour musk]

I just realized one main thing, everything original is not a great solution to problems

I wanted to switch to a clean version of the discord library due to minor hosting conflicts, but in the end I thought about stupidly uploading local files there

[autumn gust]

I wonder

can I make a bot send a message whenever variable changes?

[crisp pollen]

is it possible to send an ephemeral response to a deferred reply
im putting ephemeral=True at the end of all my ctx.respond() yet none are ephemeral

[red mist]

You need to make the defer an ephemeral @crisp pollen

Basically when deferring, pass in ephemeral=True

that should do it.

[lofty parcel]

Create a task, check if it changed after the X time, send a message

[fickle salmon]

Call get_user on guild

[stoic patio]

i've tried that

does not work

[limber terrace]

quick question:
what da haaaaaaaail?

[eager lintel]

anyone know why im getting this error? i have tried everything:

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: string indices must be integers

[rancid arrow]

check the datatypes of your variables, one of them is probably a string but you were expecting something else

[eager lintel]

i dont believe anything is smth else

[rancid arrow]

you could also double check whether the index you're trying to take is something valid instead of like
my_list["seven"]

[lofty parcel]

You're trying to index a string and you're not using integers

[rancid arrow]

or they could be erronously trying to take the index of a string but they were expecting a dictionary

either way, check the variables you're trying to take the index of and make sure they're the datatype you're expecting them to be

[eager lintel]

i've looked and i cant find anything

wait no i found smth

but then at the same time i get throttled bc its getting 609 strings

{'errorCode': 'errors.com.epicgames.common.throttled', 'errorMessage': 'Operation access is limited by throttling policy, please try again in 47 second(s).', 'messageVars': ['47'], 'numericErrorCode': 1041, 'originatingService': 'com.epicgames.account.public', 'intent': 'prod'} 😭

[lofty parcel]

Huh

[lofty parcel]

Can you show the whole traceback

And code

?tag paste

[limber wagon]

Please copy and paste your code here. This makes it easier for everyone helping you.

[lofty parcel]

Can you paste your code there

And also try printing type(e)

[eager lintel]

just did

yeah

[lofty parcel]

You sent the file

I'm asking if you could paste it in a pastebin

https://mystb.in/

[eager lintel]

i mean that to this, lol

now what tho after i pasted

[lofty parcel]

Share it

[eager lintel]

https://mystb.in/SistersDianaKey

[lofty parcel]

Thanks.

Gimme a sec to review

[eager lintel]

alr, ty

i appreciate it

[lofty parcel]

Does result query returns this?

[eager lintel]

ye, but only after some time

[lofty parcel]

You're technically iterating over a dict

[eager lintel]

oh

[lofty parcel]

When you iterate over a dict you receive the values

That's why "string indices must be integers"

Cause e is indeed a string

[eager lintel]

ah

[lofty parcel]

And this is basically you getting ratelimited

Out of the whole issue,

I noticed you use pymongo

pymongo is sync. You can use motor which is pymongo but async

And you should init your db once, not in every cog you have. Having it as a bot var is probably the best

[eager lintel]

pymongo is on all my cogs, and i dont really have the time anymore to change all of it lol

[lofty parcel]

It doesn't change at all

You just await the methods

[eager lintel]

ah

[lofty parcel]

Shouldn't take more than 15 mins to switch correctly.

Better late than never.

[eager lintel]

ig lol

[shell radish]

actually, initiating them in every cog is fine. Monkeypatching is the bad practice here

[lofty parcel]

🐒 what

[shell radish]

If you were to, then subclass bot at that point

[brittle jasper]

how do i make the bot send messages in forum posts?

[autumn gust]

a task?

[heavy sky]

Just like in a normal channel, but get/fetch the forum post instead of a channel

[brittle jasper]

oh great tyvm

[lofty parcel]

Yes. Heres an example

[rugged lodge]

Here's the background task example.

[stoic patio]

does pycord 2.4.1 support global names
