#Basic Pycord Help
grizzled loom
hope it's random enough;
I suck at design stuff in general, but had an idea regarding embeds that turned out to appear quite nice.
I did screenshot the background color of my bots avatar (could ofc also be the background color of his banner if that's more suitable), used that to get the colors hex value and finally passed this on as the chosen color for the left stripe.
Looked really need and orderly π
limber terrace
Ah yeah, used the same technique but than background layouts became a thing
Now its quite.... weird
Damn u discord for not lettin us edit the opacity of the color.
Its all webscript anyways
But, the side color is fittin the embed color anyways...
Why the heck it got removed by me

I have a strange problem. I don't get most of the autocomplete events from discord? I have everything set up properly in pycord and the api (guild commands) shows that autocomplete is enabled, but I don't get the auto complete interactions...
What is weird too, is that that's mainly the case for only one option, the other works most of the time.
Is this a discord bug or a pycord one? Did anybody have this issue too?

does user_id is a discord ID ?
glossy latch
yup

so you should use str and not int, those id are to be as int
and after in the code you do user_id = int(user_id)
glossy latch
it can be discord.Member ?
sage tendon
yes

yeah it's better than str

but you shouldn't do that because you might wanna get cases for people not in your server anymore

ahh true
sage tendon
actually i was wrong about that, i just tested it
it even somehow (??) works with people not sharing anything with the bot
so must be handled properly on discord's side already then
so yes, you can use discord.Member
fresh sierra
it even somehow (??) works with people not sharing _anything_ with the bot
depends in the member is in the cache of the bot
sage tendon
no
fresh sierra
yes
sage tendon
No.
glossy latch
i runned the code and it shows to me the same error
sage tendon
I just tested it Luma
sage tendon
i picked you, my bot shares NOTHING with you, and i still was able to get your user object
try it out
fresh sierra
really strange
sage tendon
yea as i said, discord must just handle it on its end
sage tendon
i runned the code and it shows to me the same error
show your code again
sage tendon
if the bot is not in the cache of the bot and not in the guikd
for the choices, yes
but i just used your ID
fresh sierra
yea as i said, discord must just handle it on its end
sage tendon
no, use my ID
sage tendon
yea its kinda neat
but i guess now i need to add more safeguards to make sure that my member options actually only take members of the current server lol
glossy latch
show your code again
all code of the command?
sage tendon
all code of the command?

are you sure the error comes from that command tho?

i think its just this

lets try
i have a lot of option with the same name

can you tried that ?
sage tendon
whats the difference
sage tendon
that doesnt make any difference lol
fresh sierra
it can
sage tendon
no
Because the 2 positional arguments are name and type, in that order
i always do it without the kwarg
fresh sierra
Because the 2 positional arguments are name and type, in that order
yes in case that str is needed and that the thing im not sure for choices
since i never used type= for choices, that why i asked him to be sure, if its good else we know that not the issue
and it take 5s to test

When I send an ephemeral response, I get a discord.WebhookMessage object back, right? I can use this object to update the ephemeral message.

cobalt comet
you can specify the row with `row = number` in the component decorator
i mean i know that, but its for creating a new button in that view, but i want to do something like a message contains 2 buttons, when clicking the second one, it edits the message and adds a selectmenu under the buttons and remove one button and so on, like making more modifications for the components

It depends on how you are adding the button to the message

Hey guys, new to discord bot making as a whole but not new to python. For some reason I cant get Discord to display my new slash commands I added, or edited since the first run of hte bot on the server.
Basically, What i see for slash options are the ones that were present in the code when I first added the bot to the server.
sage tendon
restart discord
modern trail
self.bot.get_message is returning None for the referenced message id. Is that because it isn't cached or something? Do i need to get the message object another way?
shell radish
you can fetch it from the channel object (await channel.fetch_message(message_id))
modern trail
i see, i'll try that, thanks
sage tendon
you should always try to get first though, fetching should be done as little as possible

is there any situation in which the get_message would succeed?

is there any situation in which the `get_message` would succeed?
yes, if it was cached
shell radish

application commands refer to the general category of them
sage tendon
Yea, but i still needed the exact command they want :)
And application commands might be the grouped name, but they're not a thing by themselves
if you get me
modern trail
well i guess i'll keep the get_message and fall back on fetch_message if/when it fails
shell radish
Yea, but i still needed the exact command they want :)
And application commands ...
but saying that they donβt exist is just wrong

why is your prefix a slash?
sage tendon
also i just skimmed over the code but.. this would just literally count everyone...
im p sure your code would ban literally every member of the server as soon as more than 5 people are in it
So, unless I'm missing something, do not run that code lol
wide hound
So, unless I'm missing something, do not run that code lol
it doesnt even work
sage tendon
yea but if it was to work it would ban everyone in the server
wide hound
no commands are even popping up
wide hound
yea but if it was to work it would ban everyone in the server
how come
sage tendon
no commands are even popping up
wdym "popping up"
little cobalt
no commands are even popping up
well yes, because they are prefix commands
wide hound
well yes, because they are prefix commands
so do i remove it
little cobalt
what?
sage tendon
If you want actual / commands, you should use discord.Bot, and need to use @bot.slash_command
dude for real why
little cobalt
If you want actual / commands, you should use discord.Bot, and **need** to use @...
not if you define discord.Bot
wide hound
dude for real why
why is that there
sage tendon
not if you define discord.Bot
oh right
sage tendon
why is that there
because someone here thinks its funny to be annoying and name themselves after a commonly used decorator
Also...
is that code from ChatGPT
its setting off my ai bells lol
wide hound
Also...
is that code from ChatGPT
why
sage tendon
because it very much feels like it is
sage tendon
genuine advice, dont take more code from your brother
he's either incapable of programming or wants to troll you
sage tendon
If you want actual / commands, you should use discord.Bot, and **need** to use @...
well either way, this
wide hound
i didnt even read the code i will now
sage tendon
running code blindly is a mistake you make as often as it goes well, and only that often
wide hound
i see where i went wrong
(my brother)
sage tendon
yes
a function like that one requires a lot more code to actually handle the recently-joined-members tracking
i still think its chatgpt tho
all the comments (especially those), the use of old principles (discrims), the clearly completely wrong logic inside the code
wide hound
i made a simple latency ping
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot()
@bot.command(description="Sends the bot's latency.")
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.respond(f"Pong! Latency is {bot.latency}")
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"Logged in as {bot.user}, Application ID: {bot.user.id}")
that's still a prefix command
wide hound
how
sage tendon
because it is lol
sage tendon
a slash command is bot.slash_command when you use commands.Bot
again, if you only want slash commands, use discord.Bot
wide hound
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = discord.Bot()
@bot.slash_command(description="Sends the bot's latency.")
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.respond(f"Pong! Latency is {bot.latency}")
@bot.event

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

now I have to learn how to use embed
sage tendon

did discord changed something at the slash commands?
sage tendon
like what
little cobalt
I cannot get my command builder to add descriptions to it
wide hound

yes
sage tendon
"why do i have `traceback most recent call last` error?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
thats just "error" in python
show the full traceback
wide hound
the best ive done so far in python is a calculator but 1 divided by 0 crashes the program
edgy nest
"why do i have `traceback most recent call last` error?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
at least it puts the error at the bottom where you can see it when the terminal scrolls
wide hound
my discord bot is quite meh
edgy nest
someone should make a graphing calculator on a discord bot
little cobalt
someone should make a graphing calculator on a discord bot
some are at the #creations channel

you forgot to make it an f-string
you just put f before the string

ok i will

Im part of a group that archive and preserve old UK school software from a specific company (sounds dull, but they had full custom networks and everything, were very big back in the day) and this is a proof of concept for something we are working on to let others experience some of the software a little easier than before. A lot of the software is not really out there anywhere else.

errant trout
no space
wary saffron
errant trout
ok good
now instead of pip, we use python3.8 -m pip
so try python3.8 -m pip install py-cord
wary saffron
oo ok
errant trout
and if that works, python3.8 bot.py
wary saffron
errant trout
exit() first
errant trout
eyyyy
wary saffron
It ran all the way til line 104
errant trout
i think ideally you uninstall 3.11 so 3.8 can be the default, but this should be fine for now
wary saffron
ok
sorry i guess my friend was helping me with the discord.py code idk how to change this
errant trout
setchannel should be a command
errant trout
it should be @misc.command()
errant trout
that's from dpy, unneeded
errant trout
nice
wary saffron
None of the commands show up
errant trout
do you perhaps have an on_connect?
errant trout
then,
- at what point are you running
bot.run - what's in your
on_ready
wary saffron
shell radish
then,
1. at what point are you running `bot.run`
2. what's in your `on_ready`
maybe it would be easier if they provided their whole code?
errant trout
probably
rugged lodgeBOT
errant trout
oh wait i see
wary saffron
oo
errant trout
oops, discord.SlashCommandGroup is when you're using cogs
wary saffron
cogs?
errant trout
for regular bots, it should be client.create_group
wary saffron
Yeah it works now
Btw do you have a guide on how to restrict a bot only to talk in certain channels?
errant trout
do you mean restrict commands?
wary saffron
Yep
errant trout
there's two main ways
- channel permission
Use Application Commands - guild settings > integrations > you can set channels and roles here for the entire bot, or specific commands
that assumes you can edit permissions and such; if you mean on the bot's side, you can write a custom check
wary saffron
ooh which one would you recommend? I'm looking for something like
User: /restrict_to (channel1, channel2)
errant trout
hm, what's your end goal? you want specific users to be restricted to specific channels?
wary saffron
Hmm, I want an option for anyone with the manage bots permission role in a server to be able to restrict the bot to their own #botspam for example
errant trout
i guess there's two sides to this; the matter of hiding commands is completely on discord's end, you can't toggle it from the bot, so it comes down to an internal check
so i'd recommend using a db or whatever to save a config that checks if the bot is locked to a channel
then write a check as i linked above
you can either apply that check to individual commands, or enable a global bot_check
wary saffron
Yes I want a global bot check
errant trout
Yes I want a global bot check
then see https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.check for an example
errant trout
what's the issue
wary saffron
I don't understand it at all
errant trout
so here's the example py @bot.check def check_commands(ctx): return ctx.command.qualified_name in allowed_commandsit uses bot, but in your instance it'd be client
this code will run on every command; if it returns True, then it's allowed to run
so in your example, let's say you have some sort of config file that contains a json of userid: channelid json { "242367619431268353": 1132206148309749830, }from what you described, you want something like
- if the user ID is not in this file, they can use the command
- if the user ID is in this file, if the channel id matches they can use the command
- if neither of the above are true, they can't use the command
(i'm just guessing, perhaps you want to test it works at all with a more basic condition)
errant trout
well that's a matter of deciding how you want to save your data
ideally using some database library
wary saffron
okay
errant trout
when it comes to the actual slash command, just make the option types discord.Member and discord.TextChannel
errant trout
ctx is just ctx
you don't need to typehint it
(but if you want to, it's discord.ApplicationContext)
wary saffron
oh how do I check if the user has the manage bots permission? π
errant trout
i assume you mean manage_server? or perhaps manage_webhooks
wary saffron
ok I'll try with manage_server
shell radish
i assume you mean `manage_server`? or perhaps `manage_webhooks`
you mean guild?
errant trout
oh forgot it was renamed
wary saffron
Ooo
errant trout
all the guild-wide perms are on ctx.author.guild_permissions
or if you're using a command check, https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions
wary saffron
Like this or?
shell radish
and if for some reason author doesn't exist, ctx.interaction.permissions as well
lofty parcel
Like this or?
If this is supposed to be the check function for Bot.check, no, not really
wary saffron
It's not, it's supposed to be the command that uses Bot.check
lofty parcel
You create a bot check. It just gets applied to all commands.
You don't apply it to a command / the command callback doesn't call it.
Either way, it's wrong.
wary saffron
It's not the bot check to see if the bot is restricted, it's the command to restrict the bot. Hope that makes sense π
lofty parcel
Yes, I know what you mean.
Let's. Let's go step by step.
- You have the restrict_to command. Which only users with the manage server permissions should be able to use.
wary saffron
Yep
lofty parcel
- You have the other X commands which should be restricted in usage by the channels set in the mentioned command.
wary saffron
All of them except for a dif command called /unrestrict
lofty parcel
So restrict_to and unrestrict shouldn't be affected by that setting.
wary saffron
Yep
wary saffron
Haven't stored it yet but maybe a list called restricted_channels
lofty parcel
That will reset on every bot restart.
lofty parcel
Simplest way is a json file.
Do you know how to store and fetch stuff from a json file?
wary saffron
Not at all
lofty parcel
Great, you will google how to do that.
wary saffron
Okay
Okay it's telling me to use JSON.parse but I don't know how to specify where to parse it
lofty parcel
Is the bot going to be global?
wary saffron
wdym
lofty parcel
Like anyone can add your bot and specify their own channels
wary saffron
Yes
lofty parcel
So you need to store config on a guild basis.
wary saffron
Yep
lofty parcel
Well, I'd tell you to learn actual real databases cause json files aren't meant for bots, so...
.nojson
sly karmaBOT
JSON is a convenient and easy-to-read data storage protocol that's widely accepted by most programming languages. However, we caution against its use for storing and retrieving data in an asynchronous environment like a Discord bot. Donβt use json!
- It's a file-based data storage, which makes it vulnerable to race conditions
- You'll need to implement your own synchronization primitives to avoid corrupting data
- If you're not careful, you could accidentally wipe your entire JSON file.
Solution? Use a database. Recommended schema are SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
- Async libraries exist on pypi for each of these
sqlite --aiosqlite(or Danny's wrapper: asqlite)
postgresql --asyncpg
mongodb --motor - Databases organize your data into tables, and are fast at inserting, retrieving, and removing records
- You can impose uniqueness constraints to ensure against duplication
- The Python libraries enforce synchronization for you
- The query language is intuitive, you can get running with simple queries in just a few hours!
wary saffron
Most of the basics but barely OOP
lofty parcel
Got any tutorials you recommend? I won't have pc access for awhile btw
Depends on the DB you wanna use, I personally use MongoDB, others use SQL
lofty parcel
Most of the basics but barely OOP
You need to dominate at least the basics of OOP, it'll be very helpful. The whole library is OOP.
wary saffron
Oo ty :3
lofty parcel
@errant trout What do you recommend as DB for them
errant trout
json 
If you want a "serious" suggestion uhhh aiosqlite is pretty good at this scale
tidal vessel
guys, a question, if I add a new Slash Command and reload the extension is it automatically added in discord?
tidal vessel
I'm aiming to improve slash command syncing for 2.7
and what can I do in the meantime? Should I sync manually?
errant trout
Just restart the bot
Only have to do that for adding/removing commands or updating their metadata (name, options etc), if you're just changing code then reload is fine
tidal vessel
Ok, ty!

How can I debug this? the error gives me no information and I have over 100 commands to check through if I need to go through it manually
sage tendon
whatever you changed last is the issue
shadow bear
so funny story
I have had this error in my logs for like
a month
and just
haven't noticed
lmfao
I can't figure out how input_type would be None, doesn't Option() force it to be string if its not an InputType?
sage tendon
maybe you put bogus there
shadow bear
I've got an amazing idea
I'll just try parsing them all manually before registering
to_dict() is raising the error
so if I just iterate through all commands after loading them and calling it manually, I'll find out which command is whack
shadow bear
I don't appear to be able to do this
log.debug("Walking the following application commands: %r", list(bot.walk_application_commands()))
for command in bot.walk_application_commands():
log.debug("Checking %r", command)
try:
assert command.input_type is not None, "Input type was None!"
d = command.to_dict()
except Exception as e:
log.error("Failed to convert %r to dict", command, exc_info=e)
bot.remove_application_command(command)

this snippet is line 279-291 of my runtime file (newlines omitted)

if you gonna do that you also have to sync the commands

I just called super()
which, still isn't working

self.web: typing.Optional[asyncio.Task] = None
self.uptime_thread = None

self.remove_application_command(command)

am I missing something?

def walk_application_commands(self) -> Generator[ApplicationCommand, None, None]:

for command in self.application_commands:

This is the source for walk_application_commands
so I cna only assume self.application_commands is empty for... some reason
which it really shouldn't be given I define one or two application commands in the runtime file, just after loading cogs
I am so confused right now
sage tendon
then id suggest showing your cogs and those 2 commands too
shadow bear
Hang on, I might try checking pending_application_commands
maybe application_commands only gets populated post-sync
that was it

bingo
nevermind
idk why i tried to get the input type of the entire command lmao
shadow bear
sorry im a bit late but what is ur issue ?
Original issue was some command's option input type is somehow None, which is causing syncing to fail as it can't convert to dict
issue I just fixed was I couldn't walk the application commands to figure out which command it was
fresh sierra
which, still isn't working
```py
class Client(commands.Bot):
def __init_(sel...
since this is run prior to the on_connect, im almost sure self.walk_application_commands() will be None, you might considere _pending_application_commands since there are still not register
fresh sierra
so basically you have a command that cant be sync
are you are trying to know which one it is ?
shadow bear
Yep
I've got 10 cogs, and thousands of lines to comb through
so I wanted to just figure it out from the error
rather than going through manually
shadow bear
```py

nope, it just connected and continued as normal

OH WAIT

i have a basic thing to help you, normally it just remove the command that is laggy so you can just check you help if you have one to see what command is missing
shadow bear
uh if we're counting since the first error, like a month
if we're counting time spent actively debugging, about an hour? half an hour?
fresh sierra
only an hour is fine, hopefully it will not take longer next time

its fine, it was only 10 commits, which is less than usual
