Basic Pycord Help

[lofty parcel]

You could probably just ctx.respond ephemerally, then just send a normal message with ctx.channel.send and pass your context the view so you can use ctx.edit

[grizzled loom]

you can also ctx.respond to the same slash command several times. may differ when you defer, not sure about this part.

[whole needle]

how do i keep a button alive

[sage tendon]

persistent views

[whole needle]

@discord.ui.button(label="Delete User", style=ButtonStyle.red, custom_id="adminpanel_deleteuser_button")
    async def cancel_button_callback(self, button: Button, interaction: Interaction):
        if interaction.user.id in adminids:    
            modal = UserDeletionModal(title="SECRETZ User Deletion")
            await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message(content=f"<@{interaction.user.id}> You dont have admin!")

adminids = ["835431172942856232"]

why isnt this working thats my id and it get the @

[shell radish]

because IDs are supposed to be an int, not a string

[whole needle]

oh tru 💀 im a bit sped

[sage tendon]

man change your name please

[whole needle]

nah i like it

[loud saffron]

            user = await discord.get_user(SPECIAL_NUMBER_USER_ID)
            dm_message = f"This special number ({number}) was used by {ctx.author.name}."
            await user.send(dm_message)
            return```
i want it to the bot to dm the bot owner that this special number is used and idk how to do that can someone help?

[lofty parcel]

The hell is discord.get_user

[loud saffron]

even idk ig i found it on stackoverflow prolly

[lofty parcel]

We have something called docs and support server

[loud saffron]

i just want the bot to dm that message to the owner thats it

[lofty parcel]

    class Search(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @discord.slash_command(name="search", description="Search information about a Pakistani number or CNIC")

    async def _search(
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        number: str
    ):```

it doesnt shows the options 🤦‍♂️

[steep cliff]

Never used decorators for options, but pretty sure the gotta go above the slash command decorator

But that’s just how I remember seeing them, just guessing here

[fresh sierra]

Did u restart ur discord between change ?

[ivory beacon]

Is there a rate limit for sending mass direct messages to users, such that you can't send 100 DMs in 1 second?

Is there a rate limit for sending mass messages to channels as well?

btw 1 single message to 1 user

[fresh sierra]

yes there will

and only your bot will get flag and will not be abble to send message to user again

[sage tendon]

nope

[sage tendon]

what are you even trying to do

[sage tendon]

why is your number a string?
and did you restart discord after adding the option?

[sage tendon]

No, pycord handles rate limits

[fresh sierra]

with expereience, i can say that with pycord and a for member in ctx.guild.members await member.send, my bot got flag

maybe it has changed since, but my bot get flag after 50 members

[deft kestrel]

Can I use paginator.edit for ephemeral message?

[sage tendon]

https://tryitands.ee

[ivory beacon]

sending embed message to users

[sage tendon]

yea but for what purpose do you need to mass message people

[ivory beacon]

@sage tendon
like this

it's working for all users but i wanna know about rate limit:)

i did some optimization and it's sending 70dms in 1 sec ig 😗

but what about rate limiting 🙂💔

[sage tendon]

as I said, pycord should handle ratelimits, but you should just not send 70 messages per second

[ivory beacon]

yeap it's handling rate limit ig

[sage tendon]

I mean just slow it down

or trust in pycord
your choice

[fresh sierra]

if you bot open discussion with a lot of member in a short time

he will get flag

[ivory beacon]

I've implemented a system where I load all the bot.fetch_user() objects into a global dictionary. This way, I avoid the need to fetch the same user multiple times. Once a user is fetched, their information is stored in the global dictionary, eliminating the need to fetch them again

async def CacheUser(UserID):
   global UserCache
   try:
     UserCache[str(UserID)] = await bot.fetch_user(UserID)
     return UserCache[str(UserID)]
   except Exception as e:
     return False
async def ReturnCache(UserID):
   global UserCache
   if str(UserID) in UserCache:
     return UserCache[str(UserID)]
   else:
     return await CacheUser(UserID)

[ivory beacon]

it's already open ig

[fresh sierra]

if its the same member its ok, but if it open with new member, you have a chance to get flag

[fresh sierra]

also use await bot.get_or_fetch it will first check the cache to make less requets

[ivory beacon]

🙂

shit okh wait

[ivory beacon]

what about the rate limit of .send() function ?

[fresh sierra]

you will not likely be abble to hit her

like you will need to send more than 50 messages per seconds

[sage tendon]

did you disable cache?

[sage tendon]

they say they send 70+ per second..

[ivory beacon]

for one user ?

[ivory beacon]

no

[sage tendon]

then why would you need to fetch any user?

[loud saffron]

just because if i use the int for the number people sometimes feed the number including spaces and the + accoding to the country code so i have to manage that aswell, yes i treid restarting my discord it shows me this but not the option

[sage tendon]

did you restart your bot :)

[loud saffron]

yes i did that

[sage tendon]

also why is your function name _search?

[loud saffron]

i was getting a error that search command already exists i was frustrated i just changed that

[sage tendon]

yea I mean that could be the issue lol

[loud saffron]

just because i was using discord.py before and im trying to switch to pycord

[sage tendon]

make sure you don't have it duplicated anywhere

[loud saffron]

that's not the case rn i've just 3 commands as cogs

[sage tendon]

can you show the code for that command inside your IDE

and your imports as well

[loud saffron]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import datetime
from discord.commands import option
```here are the imports

[sage tendon]

import option from discord directly

and maybe change it to option("number", str, ....)

Also just a heads up, don't use requests, use aiohttp
And you will most likely need to defer the interaction if you rely on API requests because they take more than 3s to complete usually

[sage tendon]

wait, you arent passing self, thats the problem
its passing self to the ctx parameter and ctx to the number parameter so it breaks

[little cobalt]

oh yea, the self is missing

[sage tendon]

already said that :)

[maiden bloom]

Is it possible to run two instances of a bot for failover/redundancy?

[little cobalt]

you mean you start the bot two times?

[maiden bloom]

Yes. Although I don’t think that’s the right way to do it. Maybe having HA in a cluster would be better…

[sage tendon]

sure, if you shard it and run each shard on seperate servers

but that will still make half your servers be offline when one server goes down

[noble flax]

Using a slash command and an option that uses a custom function for the autocomplete, is there any way to stop someone typing in the field and hitting enter and instead having to wait to choose something from the autocorrect? People getting non-responding to commands because they aren't waiting for the autocompleted and choosing something.

[sage tendon]

just use choices, not autocorrect

[errant trout]

Autocomplete can't be enforced, no

If the results are static then use choices (up to 25), otherwise you have to verify the value inside the command

[twin cosmos]

Hi guys. Sooo I've probably spent 10+ hours trying to figure out how to add modals to the quickstart template. I know sooome python but not nearly enough to actually understand everything from the docs. I've watched 3+ tutorials and all of them seem to be outdated because when I copy their files 1:1 there's always something that goes wrong. So is there anyone who could just give me a quick explanation about modals? I'm even willing to pay for this 😭

[shell radish]

open your own thread. This probably isn't a quick question

[twin cosmos]

ight, sorry about that

[weary meteor]

this might be more of a general python question but im making api calls for some information, im using asyncio ofc to not block up the bot, and the returned json is massive, how can i speed up the api calls and the json parsing

[shell radish]

how are you parsing it?

[weary meteor]

by doing it normally? im not sure if i misunderstood your question, i just do var["key"]["key2"]

[shell radish]

well, then i don't think there's much you can do with parsing.

Can you be more specific about how you are accessing the API?

[weary meteor]

 async with aiohttp.ClientSession(trust_env=True) as session:
            async with session.get(f"http://{host}/v1/profile/{uuid}/{self.profile}?key={sky_api}") as response:
                response_text = await response.text()
                try:
                    data = orjson.loads(response_text)
                    return data["data"]
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f"This is our exception: {e}")
                    print(f"This is our uuid: {uuid}")
                    return None```

just using aiohttp

[shell radish]

are you facing any significant performance issues?

[weary meteor]

well, it takes an incredibly long time to get all the data and put into the embed like i want, like upwards of 45 seconds

id like it to be faster

[shell radish]

do you know how long it takes for the request to process?

is it the "translating to embed" that uses a significant amount of time?

[weary meteor]

well no, i print out when data is finished parsing so the embeds are nearly instant but it does take quite a while for it to grab and parse the data, afaik the get request is basically instant but the actual parsing is what takes time

[shell radish]

what is the api response format?

[weary meteor]

json

if thats what your asking

[rugged lodge]

Searched in aiohttp

aiohttp.ClientResponse.json
aiohttp.ClientWebSocketResponse.send_json
aiohttp.ClientWebSocketResponse.receive_json

[shell radish]

so you should just use await response.json()?

[weary meteor]

i do

[shell radish]

this says text

[weary meteor]

oh yeah ignore that one it was something i was testing

i forgot i sent the wrong one my fault

but i do use await response.json everywhere

[shell radish]

idk then

probably ask in discord.gg/python

[weary meteor]

yeah will do, thanks for your help regardless

[weary meteor]

do you think multithreading the json calls may help? i switched to ujson and it is faster compared to before but its still pretty slow

[shell radish]

is the data big?

[weary meteor]

yeah 55k lines of json

is there no way to use loop.run_until_complete alongside pycord for my method calls?

it speeds it up by a lot but since pycord doesnt like that a whole lot, i cant really use it

[shell radish]

asyncio.run(coro) ?

[weary meteor]

oh yep im an idiot, do u think this will actually work in speeding this up or na lol

[shell radish]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

@errant trout Please help

[errant trout]

Bridge?

[mellow spire]

No only slash

[errant trout]

You don't use bridge.Bot at all in your main file?

[mellow spire]

yeah i never

[errant trout]

Can you paste the full traceback

[mellow spire]

import os
import sys
import discord
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv() 
bot = discord.Bot()

# Append the parent directory to the sys.path to access modules in the parent directory

bot.load_extension('commands.activity')

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

this is my main.py file

[errant trout]

Oh also you can just ignore the warning

You should defer at the start of your command

Fetching history for every channel will take time

[mellow spire]

oh then how?

[errant trout]

Just await ctx.defer()

[mellow spire]

can you give me some peice of code or hint

[mellow spire]

Invalid interaction application command

[errant trout]

is that an error on the bot or red text

[mellow spire]

red text

in server

[errant trout]

nothing in console...?

[mellow spire]

console is fine

[errant trout]

you might need to run it again to refresh the command

or reload discord

[mellow spire]

ok

Now it shows application did not respond

raise ApplicationCommandInvokeError(exc) from exc discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

and this error in console

[shell radish]

the defer should be the first line of your slash command

[mellow spire]

    @discord.slash_command(name='server-members_activity', description='Check activity of individual member')
    async def _server_members_activity(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        member: discord.Option(discord.Member)
    ):
        guild = ctx.guild

        total_messages = 0
        for channel in guild.text_channels:
            async for message in channel.history(limit=200):
                if message.author == member:
                    total_messages += 1 
                    
        await ctx.defer(f'{total_messages}')

like how

    @discord.slash_command(name='server-members_activity', description='Check activity of individual member')
    async def _server_members_activity(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        member: discord.Option(discord.Member)
    ):
        await ctx.defer()
        guild = ctx.guild

        total_messages = 0
        for channel in guild.text_channels:
            async for message in channel.history(limit=200):
                if message.author == member:
                    total_messages += 1 
                    
        await ctx.respond(f'{total_messages}')

or this?

[edgy nest]

the latter

[fresh sierra]

Sometimes my / commandes just broke, (choice doesnt appear as choice menu but as just input box, description doesnt appear. This happen only for the choice menu. Is that a bug reported ?

also non required option become requiered, is like the decorator just doesnt register the option

here some example

or

(i precised that the member is required here while it shouldn’t

it sometime works correctly and sometime its broken

[little cobalt]

Why do you have the name and description like that?

[fresh sierra]

Because its from an yaml file

[little cobalt]

I also use a yaml file for it but I dont have to add the name and other stuff to it

[fresh sierra]

Yes but i have it to be customizable by the other, however that doesnt cos the issue

Its more like the option is not register at all using the decorator

[frail ocean]

Wait get or fetch? If it can’t get it fetch or what

[little cobalt]

Yes

[sly ember]

guys, how could i fix that?

[grizzled loom]

I might be misunderstanding something here.
why can't I throw .__dict__ at member.guild_permissions?

[grizzled loom]

simpel, you are above the character limits. hang on a minute, ill provide you some details

[sly ember]

thanks!

[grizzled loom]

"Zeichen" means characters.

[sly ember]

yes im from germany too haha

[grizzled loom]

alright. have fun building 🙂

[sly ember]

thanks!

[frail ocean]

LOL

[grizzled loom]

why lol, he is perfectly correct with this path

[frail ocean]

Does someone know how to create sides like if u fetch warns and they are to many, that you can press a button to go on the next side

[frail ocean]

Yes I didn’t know that

[grizzled loom]

you mean an embed with several pages?

[frail ocean]

Yes

[grizzled loom]

you need to make the creation of each side yourself and can use paginator to send this collection of pages as one embed then.
usually it uses buttons, allowing the user to switch between pages.
there certainly is a way to make it switch pages on its own through updating the embeds current page and sleep.

you gotta build it yourself though, i think

[frail ocean]

But how do I create them

[grizzled loom]

like you create any embed

you just build a logic that builds a page and stops + starts building another page once it reaches a certain amount of characters.
then you bundle all those pages in a list or tuple or such and hand it over to paginator

not sure what datatype it expects exactly, details should be availible in the docs for ext.pages somewhere

[grizzled loom]

did this answer your question?

(by page i mean embed)

[frail ocean]

I’ll check if I get it. Thanks

Bist du auch dev btw

[grizzled loom]

[rapid jackal]

I have a problem with geting a guild/member.

when I do it like this:

    def search_recommendations(self):
        for t in db.get_all_teams():
            guild = self.bot.get_guild(1083719609997332530)
            owner = guild.get_member(t[5])

I get this error:

discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.teams' raised an error: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_member'

but when I implement like this:

    async def search_recommendations(self):
        for t in db.get_all_teams():
            guild = await self.bot.fetch_guild(1083719609997332530)
            owner = await guild.fetch_member(t[5])

I get this error message and the cog don't load:

TypeError: 'coroutine' object is not iterable

I'm using the function here:

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.bot: commands.Bot = client
        self.searchteam.options[0].choices = self.search_recommendations()

what am I doing wrong?

and how can I fix this problem?

[errant trout]

because you can't use async functions in init

do you not have the guilds intent?

[rapid jackal]

In the Discord Dev Portal?

[errant trout]

no

have you set any intents

in your code

oh i see now

if it's in your cog init, you're trying to use get_guild before the bot's started

so no guilds exist

[rapid jackal]

I understand

And how can I solve this Problem?

[errant trout]

you should create an on_ready listener in your cog and use await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

then after that use the code from your first version

mainly just need to account for race conditions; make sure values are set before trying to use them

[grizzled loom]

you need to take into account that any guild as well as member can be None.
So you need to check if it is None or if it is type discord.Guild/discord.Member
and when its not what you wanted it to be
(careful with the member, might be discord.User, you dont want to work with that within context of a discord.Guild even though it has some similar attributes)

Also you need to run those things when your cache was loaded as Nelo said, with an is_ready check (there is several ways)

lastly, when get_something leads to None try fetch, but only after cache was loaded (meaning ready is true), cause fetch causes an API request and you dont want to hammer them when you dont need to.

[rapid jackal]

like this:

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
        self.searchteam.options[0].choices = self.search_recommendations()
```?

[grizzled loom]

getting stuff is a bitch, but they made a good job going easy on the api with cache 🙂

[errant trout]

yeah that seems about right

[rapid jackal]

so I should use get_member instead of fetch_member?

[errant trout]

get_member and get_guild are more ideal yes

[grizzled loom]

Careful!

This would run every single time your bot has its cache loaded. this can happen several times for a load of reasons!

[rapid jackal]

oh thats new to me, what should I change then?

[grizzled loom]

yes, you always try get first.
if get returns None, you fetch

[errant trout]

just check if self.searchteam.options[0].choices has been set before

[rapid jackal]

in the on_ready listener?

[errant trout]

well, yeah

[rapid jackal]

with something like self.searchteam.options[0].choices = None?

[errant trout]

if the value has already been set then you don't need to run it again

uhhh it might be a list

[rapid jackal]

ok

then I cahnge the None to []

[grizzled loom]

I solved just this very thing a few days ago. let me give you an example how I solved it.

[rapid jackal]

yea that would be nice, thanks

[errant trout]

well once is in the next version

but otherwise a regular check is fine

[grizzled loom]

class Ready(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, has_run: bool):
        # other stuff
        self.has_run = False

      # on_ready event listener here
      # code that executes on ready
      # at the end:
      self.has_run = True

[rapid jackal]

thanks, the self.has_run = False is in the init, the on_ready not and at the end of the on_ready you set the has_run to True?

[grizzled loom]

if you want to use it elsewhere you can always:

bot.is_ready() # to get true/false for loaded cache

to get True/False for cache being loaded

[grizzled loom]

yes.

Of course there is also an:

if has_run:
    return

at the very beginning of the code under 'on_ready:'

[rapid jackal]

like this:

    def __init__(self, client, has_run: bool):
        self.bot: commands.Bot = client
        self.has_run = False

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        if self.has_run:
            return
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
        self.searchteam.options[0].choices = self.search_recommendations()

        self.has_run = True```

but I don't understand what the reason of the has_run: bool in the init parameter is for

[grizzled loom]

so it's an attribute for this class.

A normal variable would reset when the event is triggered again.

A global variable would work, but global variables is asking for messy code.

makes sense?

[rapid jackal]

yes, thank you for helping me

[rapid jackal]

but where do I need to put the argument to stop this error: discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.teams' raised an error: TypeError: Create_team.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'has_run'

[grizzled loom]

oh

just remove it in the (), but leave the self.has_run = .. underneath

[rapid jackal]

thanks that worked

[sly ember]

I have a embed whose description always expands automatically when someone is warned, but since embed have a max length, i dont know how i can do this in the future now

[grizzled loom]

learn python before building bots

We are simply stating the fact that usage of PyCord requires a fair bit of knowledge with using OOP, Async/Await etc. in Python. If you are not comfortable with these concepts, chances are you will not understand the answers given to you in this channel.

We understand that everyone learns at a different pace, and your current knowledge with Python may have been enough so far. When we say "you need to learn Python", it is most likely a sign that we have given you an explanation that you could not understand and there is no way for us continue to help you without spoonfeeding.

@sly ember

[errant trout]

eh, their question wasn't particularly bad... all the while you were giving someone a step by step tutorial

[fresh sierra]

check the len of each things

and then you only take the number of character needed

[errant trout]

basically just make sure you're within the limits (512 for fields, 4096 for description) and if not add a new field or make a new embed

[fresh sierra]

1024

for fields

[errant trout]

ohok

[fresh sierra]

2048 for the footer

but overall it need to be less than 6000

[errant trout]

all text content in a single message's embeds is limited to 6000 characters, so if you surpass that you have to send another

[red mist]

I do

fk am I too late

[grizzled loom]

I didn't think it was a bad question and when you scroll up a bit, i also provided some more details about the character limitations for each field in an embed to the person.

My thought was:
"If he doesn't know len is a thing it might be best to refer him to some sources that cover or brush up on the basics, it'll make live a lot easier along the way"

So I wanted to be helpful

[grizzled loom]

Hey, if this came across the wrong way, I meant well.
Please don't feel brushed off and don't hesitate to ask things in the future

[vestal folio]

Wie kann ich aus einem Select menü das angewählte nehmen und für jeder Auswahl einen anderen Output ausgeven

[sly ember]

no no, its okay i mean i knew i could use embed fields but since the bot automatically adds a new line when someone gets a warning, the emebd description expands itself, i just wanted to know if i somehow could fix it without fields, since im not sure if the bot can automatically add a new field when someone was warned, you know? But its okay, i know im not the best in coding and i appreciate your help, thanks!

[sage tendon]

match case statement

[vestal folio]

Häh

[sage tendon]

Google

oder du benutzt viele ifs

wie du willst

[sly ember]

hahah du bist ja deutsch

[sage tendon]

leider

[grizzled loom]

Yeah, I understand.
You need to build your own sorting logic to tell the bot when to start a new embed or field and how. Thought it's best when you learn about things like len or more complex logic first, cause building those things can be a little painful at times, especially without them

[grizzled loom]

Warum leider?

[vestal folio]

Ich weiß nicht wie ich rauskriegen das er von Nur dem einem Select menü die Auswahl kriege und wie finde ich raus was er ausgewählt hat was muss ich abfragen?

[sly ember]

HAAHAHAHAH du auch

Perfect, i will, thanks mate!

yo, i have something this simple:

class BuyPremium(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(
        label="Purchase Premium",
        style=discord.ButtonStyle.url,
        url="https://whop.com/checkout//",
    )
    async def purchase_premium(
        self,
        button: discord.ui.Button,
        interaction: discord.Interaction,
    ):
        pass``` 
but for some reason it keeps saying button() got an unexpected key argument 'url'

is that not how you do button links?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the link example.

[azure kindle]

THANK YOU

[fresh sierra]

@errant trout can i talk you about a bug or should i open a issue on the github rn ?

[errant trout]

An issue would work better

[fresh sierra]

i will first open an help here to be sure that its not a simple thing and then open an issue

[lofty parcel]

asks
proceeds to do the opposite

[fresh sierra]

he answered too late

everything was already prepared

[swift egret]

Is there a way to disable all existing buttons created from the same class view 'MyView' with a slash command instead of disabling them one by one?

[errant trout]

On a single message?

[swift egret]

all messages that has the buttons

[errant trout]

You'd have to loop and edit every message

[swift egret]

a single one message this has been solved thank to you

[swift egret]

ah okay so there isn't an easier way to do it

thanks

[errant trout]

Mhm

[sage tendon]

no

you can do it an easier way, if you centrally store all view objects and then call a disable-all function inside them

[swift egret]

centrally store? you mean like a database?

[errant trout]

...regardless you have to edit every message

[sage tendon]

no

[errant trout]

It's just a matter of tracking them somewhere

They mean disabled on discord

[sage tendon]

i know, greyed out buttons

you dont have to edit any message for that

[errant trout]

You literally do

[sage tendon]

no lol

i literally do it exactly like i said

no message editing involved

[errant trout]

Go on then

[swift egret]

I'm all ears 😄

[sage tendon]

okay i might have forgotten that i edit the message but i outsourced that line of code

i should sleep.. im too tired to concentrate

sorry

[errant trout]

All good LOL

It should be more convenient for how common it is

[frail laurel]

why only autocomplete offers you option of passing the whole function with conditionals to return specified options depending on what you selected before

can't do the same with choices

[shell radish]

choices are static, autocomplete is dynamic

ask discord

[frail laurel]

hm so is there a way to do the same thing here, but with hard-coded options that you can only select? without letting user type additional input

[sage tendon]

choices?

you could do a follow up with a select menu mb

[frail laurel]

well, i don't know if it's a great idea especially when I got 17 possible options lol

but if it's the only way

i guess i'll try that

[errant river]

hello how do i take a file input from the user to process it later ?

[sage tendon]

discord.Attachment

[swift egret]

are you looking for this?

[sage tendon]

they basically want choices depending on an input

[errant river]

ye so how would i accept it in a command

[sage tendon]

that is the option type you need

lol

[sage tendon]

bridge or slash commands

[errant river]

slash

[sage tendon]

then discord.Interaction isn't right anyway

it's discord.ApplicationContext

and the var for it should be named ctx

do you use discord.Option or @option for command options

@fresh sierra just found this, might help you with your issue / problem

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

[errant river]

and how would i save the file to my local

[sage tendon]

Answer my question

[errant river]

i dont know

i m making this after a long time i never worked with files

[sage tendon]

its no different from any other command option

[errant trout]

this is the issue

[swift egret]

on my side I also have a question I have created a command to edit a button, I successfully managed to change label and disable/enable it
I also like to change the button style but I'm stuck on that part, how can I call ButtonStyle function based on view?
Thanks

[sage tendon]

or do you never explicitly make them options and just put parameters into your function header

[sage tendon]

ah
what

[errant trout]

again, parameter_name breaks the typehint (if you don't pass type separately) because of an oversight

[sage tendon]

no this wasnt about the bug report thing

it was about their very initial question

[errant trout]

well yeah they were using parameter_name from the beginning

[sage tendon]

[errant trout]

when you have a view, you can use view.get_item(...) to get it by custom ID

then change button.style to the new style

or if you're using .children then whatever the index is

[sage tendon]

well you arent using any explicit way of creating the option
does the file option show up as an attachment picker in discord?

[errant trout]

yeah it has to be Attachment, not File

you don't have to use Option, but it's needed if you want any customizations on it

[sage tendon]

yea i was confused because i remember it as attachment too, but in the doc search i only find discord.File

[errant trout]

file is an object we use for conversion on send, but otherwise everything recieved from discord is an Attachment or Asset

[errant river]

like what customisation

[errant trout]

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

[sage tendon]

descriptions, special input parameters, etc

[errant trout]

description, choices, autocomplete, default, etc

[sage tendon]

also unrelated but why do you sync your commands?

[errant trout]

wait that's dpy

[errant river]

oh i got caught lol

[sage tendon]

bruh

git out of here then

[swift egret]

ok thanks but once I use view.get_item what's the exact syntax to change the button style?

[errant river]

no i dont want any i just want it to simply accept a targert string and a file from user

[errant trout]

i mean, nothing against them, but we can't help with that lib

[errant river]

💀

[errant trout]

idk if they actually use File or Attachment, it may well be different to us

[sage tendon]

am i stupid or why cant i find discord.Attachment in the docs?

[errant river]

i mean i had pycord installed and used pycord only

[errant trout]

but that code is dpy...

[sage tendon]

also nelo, what made you able to tell its dpy

[errant trout]

Models -> Message

[errant trout]

we don't use tree

[sage tendon]

[sage tendon]

yea thats only really why i noticed that line of code too lol

[errant trout]

just search attachment, nothing else

(on further inspection there's other stuff but that's the easiest thing to spot)

[sage tendon]

this has to be a search oversight

[errant river]

ye i have it rn too and the above code is just copy pasted lol

[sage tendon]

why do i not find it by exact name

[errant trout]

probably, but there's no reason to specify discord

[sage tendon]

i always do lmao

[errant trout]

because everything on docs is under discord

[sage tendon]

idk why

[errant trout]

in that case you need to rewrite your code to be more pycord focused by comparing on docs; we can't convert everything for you

[sage tendon]

it probably wouldn't run using pycord tho

[errant trout]

(or alternatively switch back, idk ultimately your choice)

[errant river]

ok ok

also when will more data be added in the style thats available on pycord.dev

[sage tendon]

wdym

[grizzled loom]

can't tell about that exactly, but just having a look at the github channel here, the devs as well as some others hand in sh constantly. sometimes at insane rates 😄

also, dev branch was deleted i think? lemme check

#library-updates second last post

[sage tendon]

what do they even mean by "data"

[errant trout]

wdym by "more data", the docs has everything available in the library

if you mean new features you can install master or specific unmerged PRs, but all of that stuff is beta and subject to change

[grizzled loom]

true, the docs are really good.
when i dont find something in there its either cause it does not exist or I am doing sth. wrong.

[sage tendon]

yea i mean the docs are completely fine

they arent missign anything (major), not that i noticed anyway

[grizzled loom]

but in that case one can always bother toothy 😜

[sage tendon]

:>

am i here too much

[grizzled loom]

No you're not! stop saying that, i need advise for the weirdes edge cases and ideas past 12 pm 😄

[sage tendon]

:>

[grizzled loom]

[sage tendon]

glad

[frail ocean]

Do I have to set the presence intents for this in the code?

[sage tendon]

for what?

[frail ocean]

That the bot starts faster

[sage tendon]

yea you would have to run the bot with that intent

[frail ocean]

[frail ocean]

Okay and that how long it takes to start

[sage tendon]

im slow but i usually end up getting it right :>

[sage tendon]

?

[frail ocean]

It’s not that long then only member intents

Right

[sage tendon]

what are you saying lmao

[frail ocean]

Im dumb i say it in German bc i know you are German

Wie viel schneller ist das dann ungefähr

[sage tendon]

Das sagst du mir wenn du es jetzt ausprobierst

[frail ocean]

Habe ich jetzt nicht vor deshalb frag ich

[sage tendon]

Kommt stark drauf an wie viele server und member

[azure kindle]

how do i make no slash commands initialise in my bot

[frail ocean]

870k member 5160 server

[sage tendon]

damn

[sage tendon]

so you don't want slash commands?

[azure kindle]

yeah

[frail ocean]

Oops wrong

[frail ocean]

So

Bro chill

[sage tendon]

tf?

[frail ocean]

Tf

[sage tendon]

sigh

anyway

[azure kindle]

whats going on

[sage tendon]

idk, some edgy kid being edgy

just ignore him

[frail ocean]

@limber terrace

[sage tendon]

i honestly dont remember how to make a purely prefix bot in discord lmao

its definitely your bot definition that has to change

[frail ocean]

Bro what is wrong with you

[sage tendon]

just ignore

and report maybe

[frail ocean]

Yes

[errant trout]

yall

[sage tendon]

i am wholly innocent

literally idk what bit cyx in the brain but something did

[frail ocean]

@hasty prism @loud kayak

[azure kindle]

ok then how do i only initialise slash commands in one server

that should fix it

[errant trout]

you can specify guild_ids

in the decorator

[sage tendon]

oh, just pass guild_ids=xxxx in the slash command decorator

[errant trout]

if you want to apply that to every command then do debug_guild_ids in the Bot constructor

[sage tendon]

@slash_command(guild_ids=[id1])

[frail ocean]

I say bye bye to you

[azure kindle]

oh, how can i do it in the bot constructor

[errant trout]

mods pls

[sage tendon]

i have never in my time on discord seen such entirely unwarranted and pointless anger, even by such a kid

[errant trout]

damn automod slacking

[frail ocean]

Haha

I hope you get banned from discord

[errant trout]

oh nvm automod working overtime

[sage tendon]

LMAO

we're seeing 1% of his power

[frail ocean]

Is he just trolling or what is the problem from him

[errant trout]

oh i forgot i can delete messages

[frail ocean]

Wait

Wait

We need proof

[errant trout]

they have logs, im just using report feature

[sage tendon]

i reported several messages to discord already

[errant trout]

wow how cool

[sage tendon]

i know its going straight into the garbage @ discord, but oh well

[fickle salmon]

gooby

[plucky apex]

[errant trout]

oh nice thanks

[sage tendon]

yes pls

[fickle salmon]

they're gone already lmao

[frail ocean]

Is he gone?

[fickle salmon]

yes

[frail ocean]

Banned?

[plucky apex]

https://tenor.com/view/keemstar-im-fast-as-fuck-boi-keemstar-run-running-fast-gif-18083431

[errant trout]

maybe purge too

[frail ocean]

Hey muffin

[limber terrace]

Who dare to ping while i took a shower

[frail ocean]

Sorry for Ping. Someone escalated here

[sage tendon]

Discord Mod Permissions revoked

anyway #general

[limber terrace]

Aha

[azure kindle]

guys, im running 2 bots on one token, one that has slash commands and one doesnt, but the one that doesnt keeps deleting all other slash commands, any way to fix?

[errant trout]

...is there a particular reason you're running them separately?

[azure kindle]

yeah ones discord.js lol

[sage tendon]

...why?

[errant trout]

bruh

[azure kindle]

certain elements of my code only work in python

[errant trout]

to disable it in pycord you set auto_sync_commands=False in Bot

[sage tendon]

then rewrite those parts in js, or rewrite the rest of your bot in python lol

[errant river]

why my commands arent shown when i press / in my server

[sage tendon]

restart your discord

also I'm p sure required is true by default

also, you need to pass type=discord.Attachment to the option

else it'll default to string

[swift egret]

is markdown possible for button labels?

[sage tendon]

Pretty sure no

[weary meteor]

is there anyway to deselect a users dropdown selection or effectively reset the selection

[errant trout]

nop

they have to either restart the client, or you update the view

since updating it forces it to reset

[weary meteor]

ugh how annoying, thank you for the info

[errant river]

'ApplicationContext' object has no attribute 'attachments'

umm

[sage tendon]

speaks for itself, really

that object doesn't have that attribute

you're probably looking for ctx.message.attachments

[errant river]

tried that too

didnt work same error

[sage tendon]

show your code and what you do in chat

[errant river]

oh wait i m dumb lol sorry

i have really forgot this lib

lol

[weary meteor]

if self.values[0] == '2':
            self.disabled = True
# do some other logic
            await interaction.respond(embed=e)
            self.disabled = False```

this is for dropdown and im trying to disable the dropdown until the logic is done but it doesnt get disabled

[lofty parcel]

Because you are supposed to edit the message with the new view

[fresh sierra]

That’s kind of you but we already figure it out, I was using it but with the parameter name we can use the input type, we have to use type only

[outer trout]

Is there a way to turn of slash commands for the DM channel completely without checking the context in every single command (I have a lot of them). I discovered that ALL users (also non-Admins and non-Mods) are able to use all slash commands in the DM channel because there, the server side settings in discord which commands are usable for which role are completely ignored. (Thats some major security issue). I thought maybe there is a global boolean or something to tell pycord to block the DM channel for commands generally

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.SlashCommand.guild_only
discord.SlashCommandGroup.guild_only

[steep cliff]

@outer trout

[nova epoch]

Just wondering what intents are required for the bot to use self._bot.http.get_guild_commands because it keeps returning discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access. I'm assuming its not anything to do with guilds because that is already enabled as shown below: py bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents( messages=True, message_content=True, guilds=True, invites=True ))
Thanks!

[cloud bloom]

portal intents are on right?

& it'd be helpful to see some code related to the command you're talking about

and a stack trace

[nova epoch]

Required intents are toggled on the developer portal & It's not a command, it's the on_connect event and that's the only trace back I get.

[cloud bloom]

I believe I get that too

it doesn't break anything though right?

[nova epoch]

I'll go run the bot again and copy the whole trace back.

[cloud bloom]

alr

[nova epoch]

None of my commands are registering :/

[cloud bloom]

Ignoring exception in on_connect
Traceback (most recent call last):

is what I get

on every startup

[cloud bloom]

oooh shoot

are they slash commands?

[nova epoch]

I only have the /help and /ping commands with the raw @bot.command decorator. The ones under @config and @flags(.command) aren't appearing at all. Thy are created with bot.create_group()

[nova epoch]

Yessss

[cloud bloom]

hmmmmmmmm

[nova epoch]

On pc now, bear with.

[cloud bloom]

ok so I believe this is a problem with on_connect itself

    async def on_connect(self):
        if self.auto_sync_commands:
            await self.sync_commands()

^ Is within the BotBase

so if you overwrite it

it's not syncing commands

@bot.listen()
async def on_connect():

will not overwrite

[nova epoch]

All my events work (decorated with @bot.event)
All the raw commands work (decorated with @bot.command where bot = discord.Bot() with intents passed
I have 2 groups: flags, config which are created with bot.create_group()
No commands from either groups will register, when the raw commands do.

[cloud bloom]

@bot.event for on_connect will overwrite the sync

[nova epoch]

Example group: py config = bot.create_group( name="configuration", description="All the internal bot configuration commands.", guild_ids=[ 1224207263162695792, # msa official 1211037017853665360 # testing server ], )
Example command: py @config.command(name='set', description='Set a config value.') async def set(ctx, key: str, value: str): try: Config.set(key, value) await ctx.respond(f"Successfully set {key} to {value}.", ephemeral=True) except OperationalError: print(f.LIGHTMAGENTA_EX + f"Failed to set config key: {key} to {value}. Originated from Discord with the interaction above." + f.RESET) return ctx.respond(f"Failed to set {key} to {value}.", ephemeral=True)

[cloud bloom]

Do you have on_connect?

[nova epoch]

Only have on_message, on_message_edit & on_interaction.

[cloud bloom]

oooh ok

[nova epoch]

I'm starting to think maybe this isnt a 'quick question' and I should make a thread for it ;-;

[cloud bloom]

idk

[nova epoch]

I'll put the traceback in the thread, want me to ping you?

[cloud bloom]

sure!

[frail ocean]

Is there a way to have 2 source codes running and one with slash commands and the other without?

[frail basin]

Is it possible? Yes.
Should you do it? Definetly not.

[frail ocean]

Why not

[frail basin]

Many many undocumented anomalies

weird errors

etc

[frail ocean]

Wdym

[frail basin]

Events would get called on both instances for example

Why dont you just use a bridge bot?

[noble flax]

Using the slash command subgroups, is there anyway I can limit just the subgroup itself to a specific role type instead of specifying it for each command?

also could I set "hidden=True" for the subgroup itself and hide everything within that subgroup without again explicitly doing it for each command?

[grizzled loom]

where can i see if the user of a slash command is on mobile or pc?

[little cobalt]

ctx.author returns the user which was running the command ;3

[errant trout]

Discord side, perms are already forced on the entire group

If you mean internal checks, you can pass a list of checks through

[grizzled loom]

mobile_status seems to have it, but only for Member, not User

[frail ocean]

How can i dont let the bot delete the slash commands registered by the other code?

[grizzled loom]

I tried ctx.author.mobile_status, but this always returns offline, even when i turn off the app and run the command via my phone.

[lofty parcel]

Ask again but now in English

[frail ocean]

Wait

I have 2 bots running. How can I make sure that the 2nd script does not cancel / overwrite the slash commands of the first one?

[grizzled loom]

by having them in different environments

if you're on pycharm you dont even need to do much for it.
each time you make a new project it gets its own .env automatically

and the projects live in their own subfolder as well, so you don't need to worry about your cogs being loaded into the wrong bot.

[frail ocean]

Can i define that in the code?

[errant trout]

set auto_sync_commands=False in Bot

[frail ocean]

thx

[deft kestrel]

how to disable the !help command?

[rapid jackal]

Hi, I need help. I have a while loop in one of my button callback. The problem: When I press the button nobody other can use this button. how can I fix this?

[lofty parcel]

Why do you need a while loop?

[rapid jackal]

I need to execute a function when the unix time hit a specific timestamp, but only when 2 users used the button otherwise I need to run anohter function

[fresh sierra]

help_command = None in the commands.Bot()

[rapid jackal]

can I do it with: asyncio.create_task(self.start_game_timer(game))

[lofty parcel]

Yes indeed, I was about to mention you need a separate task

[rapid jackal]

thanks

[rapid jackal]

when I do it like I said other users still can't use the button

[errant trout]

i'd use a task loop, but it depends on how precise and how far out it is

you could also use await bot.wait_for("interaction") with a check that validates the timestamp and button presses... a lot of different approaches to consider

[rapid jackal]

thanks that helped

[errant river]

hello how can i make it so that if the user has the role with role id 123 then he can access the bot cmd else he would get a message that you dont have the id

role= discord.utils.get(ctx.author.guild.roles , id =123)
if role not in ctx.author.get_roles :
  ctx.respond("you dont have access)

its like this ?

[frail ocean]

ctx.author.roles

[errant river]

toothy my frenn u there

[errant river]

rest is correct right?

[frail ocean]

Wait no

[frail ocean]

Why u don’t do ctx.guild.get_role?

[sage tendon]

allowed = False
for role in ctx.author.roles:
    if role.id == custom_role_id:
        allowed = True
        break
if not allowed:
    return await ctx.respond("Nuh uh", ephemeral=True)

that's how i'd do it

bit clunky but im tired

you could also create a check function and pass that to the slash command decorator via the checks= parameter

Hello! How to do slash cmnds in DM?

[sage tendon]

nothing to do, they already work in DMs

[pale scroll]

they isnt in select

[sage tendon]

?

[pale scroll]

they are not in the selection in DM

[sage tendon]

do you mean in the DMs with the bot, or with other users

[pale scroll]

with bot

[sage tendon]

show your slash command code

[pale scroll]

@commands.dm_only()
async def submitclue(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Submit your answer")
    message = await secret.wait_for('message')
    print(f"{message.author} is an author of the message.")
    if message.content == "twopeople":
         await ctx.send("Answer correct.")
    else:
         await ctx.send("Answer wrong")

[sage tendon]

what is secret

[pale scroll]

is name of bot

[sage tendon]

that's usually discord.slash_command..

did you just import discord as the name of your bot?

[pale scroll]

no

[sage tendon]

then thats not how pycord works

it's discord.slash_command

[pale scroll]

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ui import Button, View

secret = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=discord.Intents.all())
token = 'token'

@secret.command(name='clear')
async def clear_chat(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    if isinstance(channel, discord.TextChannel):
        await channel.clear_messages(limit=100)
        await ctx.send(f"Cleared {len(channel.history)} messages in {channel.mention}")
    else:
        await ctx.send("This command can only be used in text channels.")

@secret.slash_command(name='submitclue')
@commands.dm_only()
async def submitclue(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Submit your answer")
    message = await secret.wait_for('message')
    print(f"{message.author} is an author of the message.")
    if message.content == "twopeople":
         await ctx.send("Answer correct.")
    else:
         await ctx.send("Answer wrong")

def run(bot, token: str):
    bot.run(token)

run(secret, token=token)```

[sage tendon]

ah

try without the dm only decorator

...why?

[pale scroll]

that will 2+ bots

[sage tendon]

...?

just do bot.run(token)

[pale scroll]

ok

[sage tendon]

also, do not request all intents

request default, and if you need members intents, add that manually

,rtfm intents

i forgot the prefix

but just do

intents = discord.Intents.default()
# and if you need members
intents.members = True

requesting all intents is unnecessary and will break stuff if you didn't also enable all intents in the dev portal

also, for slash commands, you need to use ctx.respond

[pale scroll]

i know

that chat gpt

[sage tendon]

then why do you put it in your code?

dont ask fucking chatgpt for code, especially not gpt3.5

[pale scroll]

thx

[sage tendon]

also, change your bot definition to discord.Bot

im p sure commands.Bot is only for prefix commands

[pale scroll]

ok

[sage tendon]

and logically also remove the command prefix parameter then

[little cobalt]

no

?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)

[sage tendon]

i stand corrected

but usually discord.Bot is what you need unless you really want prefix commands

[little cobalt]

if you do only event and slash it would be discord.Bot yea

[sage tendon]

but i would not trust chatgpt with that, so, just dont do prefix commands

(or learn to code without chatgpt)

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash options example.

[errant river]

thank you toothy love u sm 🤗 ♥️

[pale scroll]

how to do clear cmnd

@option(
    "amount",
    min_value=1,
    max_value=None,
    default=20,
    # Passing the default value makes an argument optional.
    # You also can create optional arguments using:
    #
)
async def clear(ctx, amount: int = None):  # По умолчанию будет удалять последние 5 сообщений
    if amount is None:
        await ctx.channel.purge()  # Удалить весь чат, если параметр amount не указан
    else:
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount+1)```
here`s my code.
i can`t to delete all mesages in dm

[sage tendon]

You can't delete other's DMs

[pale scroll]

my dm

[sage tendon]

No

[pale scroll]

not other

[sage tendon]

You cannot delete other's DMs

the bot is not you

[pale scroll]

my dm with bot

[sage tendon]

It's not possible

The bot cannot delete your DMs

[pale scroll]

oh..

yeah

[sage tendon]

what would you even need that for

[pale scroll]

it can`t to delete my messages

[sage tendon]

If you mean the slash commands in the bot's dms, the bot has to delete those, because those are his messages according to how discord works

but i dont know how to do that, i never do anything with DMs

[queen iron]

How can I get the user that uses a command so I can ping them?

[sage tendon]

ctx.author(.mention)

[queen iron]

How do I put the value in a respond context? I tried this

user = ctx.author(.mention)
await ctx.(f"Message... {user}")

and

await ctx.(f"Message... {ctx.user(.mention)}")

[sage tendon]

without the brackets lol, that was just because you get the user with ctx.author, and adding .mention mentions them directly

[fresh sierra]

if custom_role in [role.id for role in ctx.author.roles]

[sage tendon]

[queen iron]

I keep getting a syntax error when using the dot.
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

I want to send a message that pings/mentions a user. Am I going about this the wrong way?

[sage tendon]

show your code

also, i said ctx.author

not user

[queen iron]

that's what I meant mb

[sage tendon]

well, show your code

[fresh sierra]

What can it break ‘

[sage tendon]

it can just make your bot not work

[fresh sierra]

Why ?

Cos I’m using all rn

[sage tendon]

and you also enabled them all in the dev portal

[fresh sierra]

Yes

[sage tendon]

yea, most people dont

[fresh sierra]

Oo I see

But without it kind difficult to do most of the thing

Can’t see message, presence or even kick or ban member

[sage tendon]

message_content is rarely needed with slash commands

[queen iron]

I doing

await ctx.(f"Message... {ctx.author(.mention)}")

but I feel like that is not the way I'm meant to be doing it.

[sage tendon]

again, without the brackets

[sage tendon]

.

and it's still ctx.author, not user

[fresh sierra]

ctx.user ? It’s not author ?

[echo wraith]

Heyy I'm getting TypeError("Invalid usage of typing.Union") here, any idea?

    @level.command(name="réponse", description="Ajouter une réponse à un niveau")
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def answer(self, ctx: bridge.Context, réponse: str, level: int): ...

[fresh sierra]

I doing

await ctx.(f"Message... {ctx.author.mention}")

but I feel like that is not the way I'm meant to be doing it.

[sage tendon]

can you please just screenshot your code @queen iron

[fresh sierra]

Why are u adding some other things

[sage tendon]

show the stacktrace

Seems like an internal error

[little cobalt]

wait

dont use time.sleep

[echo wraith]

I got this after upgrading to v2.5, iut works just fine with v2.4.1

[little cobalt]

that is gonna block your whole bot

@queen iron

[sage tendon]

await ctx.respond(f"{ctx.author.mention}")

[little cobalt]

never use time.sleep

[queen iron]

oh without the () not brackets. I feel silly.

[sage tendon]

also, you cant respond after more than 15 minutes, thats the max interaction time limit

@little cobalt does responding twice do a followup automatically by now btw?

[little cobalt]

it should be yea

I was always using two times respond even at the older versions

[queen iron]

What should I use? I'm trying to setup a pomodoro timer bot. Is there a better way to be doing this?

[sage tendon]

asyncio.sleep()

[little cobalt]

^

[queen iron]

thanks

[sage tendon]

and change the respond after the sleep to await ctx.channel.send

[echo wraith]

with await in the front

[sage tendon]

because the response will not work after 15m

[sage tendon]

you do probably want to ping the user in that case then

[little cobalt]

It was always working after 30 minutes for me x3

but I send a instand respond and a other later

[sage tendon]

isn't the time limit for interactions 15m? views, responses, everything?

ah, maybe its different for followups then

[little cobalt]

yes

or you send one and another one later

[sage tendon]

yea thats a followup

lmao

[little cobalt]

^^

[sage tendon]

according to zervy you can ignore this @queen iron

[queen iron]

Is there any way to do this then? If 15 is the limit?

[queen iron]

okay

[little cobalt]

just send a respond after the execution and one later

[sage tendon]

wait does discord.Option take positionals in the order type, name?

or why does it work that they pass it in that order

becuase i'm p sure discord.option, the decorator, needs name,type

.... i just realised discord.Option doesn't have a name

well it does but only as kwarg and optional

[queen iron]

Thanks for you help <3

[sage tendon]

np

[echo wraith]

has anyone an idea? The update seems to also have messed up a lot of other bridge-related stuff...

[little cobalt]

I know that bridge had some breaking changes with 2.5

[sage tendon]

did it? i didnt see anything breaking in the change log

and it was a minor update

so shouldn't be

[little cobalt]

ye

now you have to use BridgeOption

and discord.option is not working anymore

[sage tendon]

i think that was listed as a fix
which makes it not a breaking but a correcting change

[echo wraith]

Also in a bridge command does name need to be a kwarg or an arg or can it be both

[sage tendon]

eh kind of up to interpretation

[echo wraith]

At least my dependencies where pinned

[sage tendon]

by default it takes the function name

[little cobalt]

if you havent set a name, the name will be the one at your code

[echo wraith]

Yeah I know that, it's just that I did set name= and it broke

saying I set name twice which was not the case

[sage tendon]

thats because name= is not a parameter of BridgeCommand

[echo wraith]

Oh fair enough idk why it worked previously maybe they removed it, or there was a catch-all kwargs

[errant river]

why this error is it because i didnt respond within 3 sec ? but i used .defer and the followup send

[sage tendon]

show your code

disappears

[errant river]

sorry

i can show it in dms ?

[sage tendon]

just put it here

[errant river]

ah its a bit priv

[sage tendon]

so are my DM settings

[errant river]

😢 pls toothy

[sage tendon]

no

[errant river]

[shell radish]

you can DM it to me

[sage tendon]

also, you do not send a followup to a defer

[errant river]

then what do i do to increase the resp time ?

and how did you know that lol

i didnt even share anything

[sage tendon]

because you said it?

you respond like normal to a deferred interaction

[shell radish]

no, you can only respond a defer with a followup

[sage tendon]

..no?

[shell radish]

ctx.respond just handles that for you

[sage tendon]

yea duh

but we are talking about the user facing side of the library, not the inner workings

[shell radish]

a defered interaction can also come in a form of a button, which cannot just be simply responded to

[sage tendon]

yes, but we are talking about a normal message interaction

[shell radish]

a message interaction is different from a slash command

[sage tendon]

sigh

[shell radish]

slash commands are not messages

please use non-ambiguous phrases

[sage tendon]

you know what i mean

[shell radish]

there are multiple things you can mean by that. I do not know which one.

[sage tendon]

Okay
But you are also not the one asking for help rn

[shell radish]

this is simply incorrect

[sage tendon]

man its okay, i got the memo

ill go

[shell radish]

@errant river is the first line of your slash command a defer?

[errant trout]

In the library, its... command.id

For the current command its ctx.command, otherwise you want bot.get_application_command (which takes the command name)

[shell radish]

you can also just use command.mention for the string

[sage tendon]

can you also by any chance prefill that mention with arguments

[shell radish]

used to, removed because abuse

[sage tendon]

oof

that would be really cool

[errant river]

no

[shell radish]

then change it so that it is

[errant river]

can u dms

[shell radish]

yes

[lethal loom]

How can i create a cluster with Py-cord?

[sage tendon]

do you mean shard your bot?

[lethal loom]

i mean yyeag

[sage tendon]

or run it on several servers?

[lethal loom]

Well, I mean stop that you have one bot but different instances like with the big bots

[sage tendon]

On a single physical server or multiple ones?

[lethal loom]

both

[sage tendon]

That is not an answer to that question lol

one or multiple servers

[lethal loom]

one

[sage tendon]

how many guilds does your bot have?

[lethal loom]

250+

[sage tendon]

less than 1000?

[lethal loom]

yeah

[sage tendon]

Then you can't do that yet

minimum guilds for sharding is 1000

[lethal loom]

is this a discord featrues or oly pycord

[sage tendon]

Discord

[lethal loom]

and host one bot of multipl servers

[sage tendon]

i mean thats just somethging you can do, its not really a feature of anything
pycord just allows you to set specific shards on specific devices so you can run half of them on server A and half on server B

[lethal loom]

ah okay thx

[light arrow]

Hello, i have been receiving Missing Access error (error code: 50001) only after loading cogs. it works perfectly fine with normal slash commands in the main file.

I have already taken the following steps to address the issue:

1. Enabled the necessary bot and applications.commands scopes.
2. Reinvited the bot to the server after updating permissions to ensure they take effect. (It is a brand new bot in only one server)

Despite these efforts, the issue still persists. any idea on how to fix it?

[shell radish]

?tag missing_access

[limber wagon]

If you get a Missing Access (50001) error, you probably forgot to add the applications.commands scope.

To fix that, just re-invite your bot to the guilds you specified guild_ids or debug_guilds for.

[errant trout]

can you paste/show a screenshot of the full traceback

[errant trout]

(strictly speaking there's no minimum, it's just rather pointless that early)

[weary meteor]

hey all, lets say i have a command which takes in arg1 and arg2, is there a way for arg2s choices to be set based on what arg1 is?

what in the world does this mean?

or can i like defer the autocomplete

im basically using arg and running it thru an api and i kind of need it but the autocomplete times out i guess

[shell radish]

no

[shell radish]

probably don't do that then

[weary meteor]

i cant just not do that, is there no workaround?

[shell radish]

can you be more specific for what you are doing?

[weary meteor]

yep, so basically the user enters an ign, i then throw it into an api to get all the "profiles" this ign has and the 2nd arg returns all the profiles as autocompletions, the issue is the api throws out massive json and i need to parse thru it to get the profiles which is most likely why it times out

[shell radish]

how many "profiles" are there

[deft kestrel]

Is there any way to quickly check whether a role is assignable to a member? e.g. a bot-role, or @here/@everyone can't be assigned to a user, though these are selectable with a slash-command with option discord.Role.

[cloud bloom]

you could just make an exception for @here and @everyone

cause the other roles would just be if the bot's role is higher than that role & or it has certain perms

I'm not sure if there's a helper function though

maybe that'd be a useful PR...

How to place GIF on the bot avatar

[grizzled loom]

read something the other day that you could only do so via an API request.
There was a code example how you can do it too, but i don't recall who sent it or in which channel.
It's in here "somewhere" 🙃

@pale scroll

[limber wagon]

How to upload an animated avatar for your bot

To use and upload an animated avatar you can run the following snippet as standalone script:

import discord

# Create a Discord client instance
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

# Event to handle bot's initialization
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

    # Upload animated avatar
    try:
        with open('yourpicture.gif', 'rb') as avatar:
            await client.user.edit(avatar=avatar.read())
        print('Animated avatar uploaded successfully!')
    except Exception as e:
        print('Failed to upload animated avatar:', e)

# Run the bot
client.run("YOUR_TOKEN")

That should be all, have fun!

[pale scroll]

?tag gif_banner

[limber wagon]

No tag gif_banner found.

[grizzled loom]

maybe if you simply exchange
... .edit(avatar= ...
with
... .edit(banner= ...
?

idk though, never tried it. just a thought.

[grizzled loom]

fair enough

[errant trout]

Use the full name, e.g group subgroup subcommand

[sage tendon]

just config display

but the command works with /config display, right?

oh..

slash command have no .id attribute

or, well, application commands

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

use qualified_id

[errant trout]

specifically, subgroups/subcommands don't have IDs

only the root group has an ID, which is why qualified_id is used to get their parent ID

[sage tendon]

wait so you cant ping a subcommand like /config display?

[errant trout]

you can

as such, command.mention is always </{qualified_name}:{qualified_id}>

[sage tendon]

oh

[round heart]

This is strange. Randomly, my bot is exhibiting issues changing its presence.

await self.bot.change_presence(activity=discord.CustomActivity(...))

  File "/home/.../.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 1386, in change_presence
    await self.ws.change_presence(activity=activity, status=status_str)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'change_presence'

(I'm on the newest version of py-cord)

Okay, nm. I had to wait_until_ready()

[errant trout]

stop doing it in on_ready !!!

Bot has status and activity kwargs !!!

[olive ridge]

Yo, guys I am quite new to the Pycord, but my slash commands dont seem to update when I rerun the code. Meaning some deleted functions are still present. Is it something on discords side or is there a way to properly sync them?

[sage tendon]

restart your discord

[olive ridge]

haha, thank you <3

Ignoring exception in on_interaction

Traceback (most recent call last):

How do I get rid of this error?
Code:
```py
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_interaction(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        if interaction.message.author == self.bot.user:```

[edgy nest]

interaction.user is the user who triggered the interaction

interaction.message is the message that contains the component that was clicked (if that's the type of interaction)

[frail ocean]

its an event for buttons
So i want to fetch the button clicks

Ik the method i use is not the best

[edgy nest]

then filter the interaction type

also

interaction.message.author will never not be the bot user

unless you used a webhook

[frail ocean]

Dumb question:
If i have a bot with the button id "custom_id"
Is it possible, that a other bot react on that too?

[edgy nest]

no

[frail ocean]

So i can remove that right?

[edgy nest]

yeah

[frail ocean]

Because if interaction.message.author == self.bot.user: checks if its the bot?

[edgy nest]

yes

[frail ocean]

Okay thank you

Ill try it

Other question

self.shard_status = {}
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_connect(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Connecting"

    @commands.Cog.listener()

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_resumed(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Online"```
Sometimes it doesnt trigger the events or they stay offline

But the shard is on

[frail ocean]

@edgy nestdo you have a idea...

Hi, I want to make a slash command that is only able to be invoked by an admin. It seems like default_member_permissions is the relevant attribute but I'm confused on how Permissions objects work. First question is am I on the right track here, and if so, can someone give me an example of how I need to instantiate the Permissions object?

[sage tendon]

administrator=True

[modern trail]

ohhh, that makes sense.. So perm = Permissions(administrator=True) and then @bot.slash_command(..., default_member_permissions=perm) would make it so only those with the administrator discord permission can use the command?

[sage tendon]

no

oh wait you're using that

hm

i use the decorator like this

[modern trail]

so that makes it so the command can only be used by those with the "ban members" perm?

[sage tendon]

yes

[modern trail]

can that be applied to a slash command? like you'd stack that decorator on top of the slash command decorator?

i see

[modern trail]

gotttt it, ok, interesting

have you defined your own slash_command so you don't have to always pass in the guild ids and stuff? and perhaps any other args?

[sage tendon]

no, its just empty

[little cobalt]

I created my own command "builder" so I dont have to add the option stuff every time

[modern trail]

wouldn't it not register the command with discord/the guild then?

[little cobalt]

if its empty it will be a global command

[sage tendon]

none of my slash commands have anything in the slash command decorator

[modern trail]

huh, interesting. so does that mean the default behavior is that it registers the slash command with every guild it connects to?

[sage tendon]

yes

[modern trail]

i see

[sage tendon]

thats usually what you want from a bot lol

[modern trail]

true lol

thanks for the help guys

[sage tendon]

np

what do you usually pass in the slash decorator tho

[modern trail]

mine looks like this: @bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[GUILD_ID])
