Basic Pycord Help

[warm linden]

async-timeout 4.0.3
discord-webhook 1.3.0
dnspython 2.6.1
jishaku 2.5.2
py-cord 2.5.0
pymongo 4.7.3
typing_extensions 4.12.2

thing is thats true tbh

i'll prob end up removing that

i used to make it send something every couple mins now its hours

so i might jus change it tbh

[sage tendon]

you can just do that with a task

[warm linden]

yeah

i'll edit it soon need to switch all my cmds to slash rn

[warm linden]

quick q you see how im switching to slash cmds how will i use https://github.com/Gorialis/jishaku

[sage tendon]

no idea what that is

[warm linden]

lol nws

i think it was you that told me bout this

do i just simply do await interaction.defer() in order to not get the application failed to respond error?

[sage tendon]

in a command, its ctx.defer()

[warm linden]

nah for buttons

[sage tendon]

yea

then that

[warm linden]

it aint working tho

[lapis dock]

You cant. There might be a project out their but I have not seen any fully working slash versions. Also make sure that it does not install discord.py as a dependency. Also you should not need discord_webhooks as pycord should be able to do that. But I dont think it will cause to many problems if you keep it that way.

[sage tendon]

show your button code

[warm linden]

ive removed the webhook thingy tbh dont need it anymore

its interaction.response.defer

[warm linden]

ohh appreciate it

[warm linden]

AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

what am i doing wrong?

[warm linden]

Package Version

---

py-cord 2.5.0
pymongo 4.7.3

pip list ^

[weary meteor]

for the Option type, how can i make the autocomplete grab all the roles in a discord server? like Option(discord.Guild.roles) or something like that

[fresh sierra]

Why use autocomplete in this case ?

Use only
input_type = discord.Role

[lofty parcel]

You're using replit.

[fresh sierra]

Import discord after the os.system

[fresh sierra]

Also interaction.defer() should be at the beginning of the function not at the ened

[lapis dock]

Reinstall Pycord. Also is there a reason you have the os.system line?

[shell radish]

because it’s replit

[dapper hamlet]

can you use an emoji as a thumbnail in an embed or nah?

[sage tendon]

if you have an image of it :)

[warm linden]

thanks this helped!

[fresh sierra]

with pleasure

[mystic token]

Any way to make select menus remember selection after editing message?

[fresh sierra]

just by not removing the view

[mystic token]

it reverts to placeholder but i would like it to retain what the user selected

[fresh sierra]

ooo

so no its not possible if you edit the view / response to the interaction

but why do you want to do that

there is maybe another solution

[mystic token]

i know i can do it by selecting a default value when making a new select menu

but i wanted a simpler way lol

anyways thanks 👍

[pliant shell]

I may have run into a strange problem... i'm trying to get the bot to connect to the same vc i'm in, but it doesn't and also there's no error in console?

voice = ctx.author.voice
vc = await voice.channel.connect()

it get's the voice object as i can print it and see the channel i'm in, but it just doesn't connect! I have all intents turned on, it has the permissions to join, but nothing happens... Can someone give me a fresh perspective on this?

[errant trout]

what pycord version

[pliant shell]

2.5.0

[fresh sierra]

do you have pycnl

[pliant shell]

Oh crap i think i know the problem now xD If i recall correctly you used to have to download additional voice package? I haven't coded for some time and also had a fresh reinstall. Is it still the case?

[fresh sierra]

try after installing that

PyNaCl

[pliant shell]

Yep it works now! Thanks Luma!

[fresh sierra]

with pleasure

[pliant shell]

Now to just get it to play mp3 files xD fun

[warm linden]

can someone help me please - i can't get my head around on how to do this:

            category = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.categories, id=1249341737973846036)
            cito = discord.utils.get(category.text_channels, name=f"application-{interaction.user.name}")

            if cito != None:
                return await interaction.response.send_message("You already have a **Staff Application** ticket open!", ephemeral=True)

it doesn't work - no erros

[errant trout]

What shows when you print category and cito

[warm linden]

Staff Applications
None

wrong thing

one sec

there

[fresh sierra]

If it’s None then it’s normal

[warm linden]

but thing is there is a channel

[errant trout]

Why don't you just use find on guild.text_channels

Or do you have to limit category

(Also this would break immediately if a user changes their name)

[warm linden]

tbh i dont have to limit

[warm linden]

yeah i realised that

but for some reason it didn't want to work when i used a db for it

example:
db1.find_one({"guild_id": interaction.guild.id})['user_id']

[errant trout]

Idk but in the long run you basically need a db for ticket systems

[warm linden]

yeah i do

[warm linden]

            cito = db.find_one({ "guild_id": interaction.guild.id })['user_id']
            if interaction.user.id == cito:
                return await interaction.response.send_message("You already have a **ModMail** ticket open!", ephemeral=True)

TypeError: argument of type 'int' is not iterable

i do understand the error but i can't figure out a way to check if ther user is in the db

[errant trout]

db.find_one is returning an int

so just print the result and figure out what to do instead

[warm linden]

yeahh i did it works now

[errant trout]

nice

[quartz umbra]

Hi, can someone help me out with the error: py 404 - Unknown Interaction

i know its caused by my bot taking too long to respond

so I tried out some code to immediately reply with a temporary message, then edit that response later, though the later edit is not working, it appears

Here's the relevant code:```py

Respond with a temporary message to keep the interaction valid

response = await ctx.respond("Working on it!", ephemeral=True)

...Do stuff that takes a while...

embed = discord.Embed(
    color=discord.Color.from_rgb(75, 255, 75),
    title="Success",
    description=f"You have successfully granted {user.name} the {rank} tier in {kit}.",
)
await ctx.respond("", embed=embed, ephemeral=True)```

[sage tendon]

thats not how it works

use await ctx.defer() to tell discord to wait longer

that must be ephemeral if your response is, too

[quartz umbra]

so at the top, I write await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True)?

[little cobalt]

yes

[sage tendon]

yes, and remove the temp response

[quartz umbra]

Ok, I'll try that out now and update on whether it works, thanks

[sage tendon]

also just remove the "" in the respond, its not needed

[quartz umbra]

will do!

[quartz umbra]

Thanks a lot, it's working a charm

[warm linden]

can someone help me fix my say cmd? it doesn't let me create a new line

[fresh sierra]

show ur code

[sage tendon]

and describe what you actually mean

[warm linden]

say i want to send a text:

Hey

How are you

[sage tendon]

not possible with options

[warm linden]

it'll send out: Hey How are you

ohh

[fresh sierra]

with prefix it work idk for the other

maybe you can add a logic

like if the use put \n it goes into the line

[sage tendon]

also you forgot to actually send the message to the selected channel

and you can just pass the message variable directly, no need to make it an f String with nothing else in it

and you don't need the * argument for slash commands

and you don't need to pass the name= kwarg, it automatically takes the function name as command name

[little cobalt]

you dont need the * at the slash commad

[sage tendon]

too slow smh

[little cobalt]

oh xd

My messages are loading really slow

[upper flint]

I have a question. We can download pycord either by typing pip install py-cord or pip install py-cord[speed]. Latter variant claims to install some additional speed up packages. What are they? How exactly do they speed up bot?

[sage tendon]

I don't think it makes a noticeable difference unless your bot is huge
I think it just installs some more packages that you can use to do stuff faster, p sure it doesn't use them itself

[upper flint]

I see, ok. Then it's probably useless for me

Thought this will speed up pycord w/o me needing to do anything to the bot itself

[sage tendon]

Meh tbh the biggest thing affecting most bots is latency, and db or api shit

and you can't really make that faster except by using async

[upper flint]

True

[warm linden]

do the buttons always stop working if bot goes offline then come back on?

[sage tendon]

unless you use persistent views, yes

[harsh bloom]

What is the async timeout limit for pycord? Some of my responses that take 9-10 minutes are not returned

i send http post requests, the responses take 9-10 minutes

Used aiohttp for sending requests

[sage tendon]

to what?

[harsh bloom]

I've my API endpoint

It's slow takes time to give a response

The bot forgets to fetch and give a response if it takes too long

[sage tendon]

your own API?

[harsh bloom]

Yep

[sage tendon]

then.. make it respond faster?

[harsh bloom]

The endpoint works I've tested it

[lofty parcel]

Why does your api takes 10 minutes to respond?...

[harsh bloom]

It's an llm I can't make it go faster
Gpu poor

[sage tendon]

there's free APIs for that..

use the groq api

[harsh bloom]

Lmao

[sage tendon]

not lmao

what you are doing is lmao

[harsh bloom]

Can pycord increase the wait time? Is that possible?
I do not own the full stack I'm asking
I take your opinion and understand it

[sage tendon]

ctx.defer() extends it to 15m i think

but your solution is just... kinda bad, just use the API, you get a responds within 2-3 seconds at most every time

[harsh bloom]

I understand your opinion, but some things have certain constraints.
I do not think groq endpoint is free
This is a small project

[sage tendon]

its free

i use it myself

learn to take advice if you ask for solutions

[harsh bloom]

Yeah I'll check

[errant trout]

i mean you absolutely can get away with 10 minutes on a request

kinda silly, better to improve the time, but nothing really stopping you

[lapis dock]

I just want to clarify. You can 100% put a string in an option. You just cannot do newlines natively. You might want to look at modals. This allows for more text manipulation.

[warm linden]

is it not just putting timeout to none? if so ive done that

[warm linden]

yeah i just decided to switch it to a prefixed cmd

[lapis dock]

there is a bit more to it.

[rugged lodge]

Here's the persistent example.

[lapis dock]

You have to tell the bot what custom_id the component is so it can listen for interactions from discord matching that ID

[warm linden]

ahhh

thanks i'll look into it

[sage tendon]

oof.. worst way imo lol

[warm linden]

would this have to be in the cog where my buttons are?

class PersistentViewBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.default()
        intents.message_content = True
        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(","), intents=intents)
        self.persistent_views_added = False

    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            self.add_view(PersistentView())
            self.persistent_views_added = True

        print(f"Logged in as {self.user} (ID: {self.user.id})")

bot = PersistentViewBot()

[sage tendon]

Ideally you don't have your views in a cog at all :)

(the class definition)

[sage tendon]

But no, you can do this wherever
I do this in my main bot file

[warm linden]

ah

[warm linden]

alright i'll test it out

[sage tendon]

for example I just have a views folder where I define all my views

with an init file so I can do from views import xview

[quiet nimbus]

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord'

i'm using a venv and i reinstalled py-cord

nvm it worked with python main.py and not python3 main.py, not sure why

[warm linden]

its not working for me in main file so i think i might need to do ur way

[sonic ferry]

does anyone know if its possible to have a response send silent messages?

so basically have a slash command respond with a silent message

[fresh sierra]

What do you mean by silent message ?

If you mean that does not ping anything yes you can

Or invisible u can to

[sonic ferry]

yes to where it @s them without pinging them

i cant figure out how to do it with the ApplicationContext class though

[little cobalt]

if you do ctx.respond you are not pinging someone

[sonic ferry]

right but i want to ping people manually

by @ing them

[fresh sierra]

You can use discord.AllowedMention

.rtfm allowedmention

[sly karma]

9 results

discord.AllowedMentions
discord.AllowedMentions.all
discord.AllowedMentions.everyone
discord.AllowedMentions.merge
discord.AllowedMentions.none
discord.AllowedMentions.replied_user
discord.AllowedMentions.roles
discord.AllowedMentions.to_dict
discord.AllowedMentions.users

[sonic ferry]

thank you!

works perfectly

dont know how i didnt see that tbh

[sage tendon]

that's completely unrelated lol

[harsh bloom]

is it possible to defer prefix commands? My bot replies whenever it gets a ping.
I see that you require context to use defer, since I used an event on_message, I did not get a context.

[frail basin]

What are you trying to achieve?

The only thing defer does is it gives you more time to respond to an interaction before it errors out.

[harsh bloom]

hmm my bot takes some time, so I'd like it to defer it before it times out.

can we pass message as context?

[frail basin]

Are you using bridge commands?

[harsh bloom]

no im not

I checked the docs, I did not find a way to make the bot reply whenever it gets a ping (although I think it's possible?)

[frail basin]

on_message doesnt need to be deferred

[frail basin]

I think thats possible with bridge commands (both slash and prefix)

[harsh bloom]

no i meant using this bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

I was able to get the bot to respond to pings in on_message() by just checking for bot.user.mentioned_in(message)

referred this btw: https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/commands/prefixed-commands

[frail basin]

Ah

you are looking for this then:

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

[fresh sierra]

Why defer a prefix command V

You don’t have a time thing using prefix

[harsh bloom]

mhm i just want the bot to reply when i ping it. The API call is slow so I thought I'll defer it.

[fresh sierra]

Defer is only for interaction so Dw about that

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned
discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[fresh sierra]

This might be the thing u want

(No that’s for prefix definition only

[harsh bloom]

hmm I think defer is primarily for slash commands

[little cobalt]

for interactions

you have to respond in 3 seconds at interactions or you gonna get an error and with defer you can increase that time to 15 minutes

that does not exist at prefix commands

[glossy latch]

hey who can help me

?

[little cobalt]

read the channel name

[glossy latch]

who can i share with him my code, i got error and i can't solve it

[lofty parcel]

You post the error and relevant code here.

[signal trench]

is it possible to mention a sub command

and if yes how can we ?

[little cobalt]

slash, prefix or bridge command?

[signal trench]

slash

let's say i have this

settings = SlashCommandGroup("settings", "Settings Commands")

and the comamnd is

@settings.command(name="set_meme_channel", description="Set channel for memes")
    async def set_meme_channel(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        channel: discord.TextChannel,
        frequency: int,
    ):
        meme_config[str(ctx.guild.id)] = {
            "channel_id": channel.id,
            "frequency": frequency,
        }
        save_json("MEME.json", meme_config)

        embed = discord.Embed(
            title="Meme Channel Set",
            description=f"MEME Channel : {channel.mention} \nFrequency : {frequency} Minutes",
            color=0x00FF00,
        )

        await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

how can i mention set_mem_channel command ?

[little cobalt]

you can get access to the command with the name of it

[signal trench]

well

[little cobalt]

set_mem_channel.name would return the name

;3

[signal trench]

{self.bot.get_application_command('info').mention}

i used to mention the names like this

ohh i get it

so it will be like

[signal trench]

{self.bot.get_application_command('set_mem_channel.name').mention}

oh ic thanks sir

[little cobalt]

I wonder what you gonna get from it xd

[signal trench]

wwll what's wrong in trying xd

and learning

[sage tendon]

@harsh bloom just use the groq API dude

no one wants to wait 10m for a single command

you're making the experience worse for everyone involved for no reason

[glossy latch]

I solve it thank you

[fresh sierra]

Whats groq api

[harsh bloom]

lol you didn't leave that? yeah I've included that API

[sage tendon]

a free API for a servcie that runs LLMs extremely fast

[sage tendon]

but if you use it, why do you need this robin

[harsh bloom]

can't I know how to get output from a slow api

[sage tendon]

i mean, groq never takes more than 3 seconds max
so you have another slow api?

[harsh bloom]

let me rephrase - "can't I know how to get output from a slow api using pycord"

[frail ocean]

Is there a way to get the count on connected members in a voice channel

[sage tendon]

i really dont get what you want to say

the solution to having a slow api is

1. change the api if you can
2. use aiohttp, never use requests
   ideally, both

[frail ocean]

hey toothy

long not seen

[sage tendon]

hi

[frail ocean]

U have a idea 👀

[sage tendon]

oh its you again, the guy allergic to the docs

I never touched voice in my life, and i was able to find it within 5 seconds TOTAL in the docs
Please, use the docs

[frail ocean]

I found the user limit

[sage tendon]

there's a finite amount of attributes

read them all

[frail ocean]

[fresh sierra]

That will not give u the number of member connected in a vocal

got a question, if I have a bot that is making views within threads, will the view overwrite itself on each new thread view that is created?
example: I have a yes button and no button inside a discord thread. I make a second thread with the same buttons and push the same view name to that new thread, will it kill the old buttons/overwrite them?

[wintry zephyr]

Can you create a cog and have it and its commands fall under a slash command group?

[tidal vessel]

You mean a group of slash commands? Or what do you mean?

[wintry zephyr]

I'd like the cog itself to be a subcommand of a parent SlashCommandGroup

Essentially, I'd like all my commands to adhere to the following structure heirachy:

/{basegroup} {cogname} {commands-inside-cog}

The basegroup would be universal, so ideally I'd define that in my main python file and then pass the context into the cog - having some issues passing the context in and accessing the value inside the cog class

[fresh sierra]

you need to use py-cord multicog

pycord-multicog

[wintry zephyr]

This looks promising - does the parent group have to be defined inside a cog, or could you define it elsewhere?

[fresh sierra]

you can defnied it where you want and then just do
@subcommand("name_of_group")
async def command()

[wintry zephyr]

Perfect, thats exactly the functionality I was hoping for originally - much easier to write a string than pass the context through classes

[fresh sierra]

Hello, looking at the doc, i saw

Context = Union[BridgeExtContext, BridgeApplicationContext]

to get the union of both, since im using a custom context, i decide to do the same :

However when using it as typehint i got that error :

2024-06-11 06:30:28 [WARNING] : Failed to load extension Slashs.Anime.smile: Extension 'Slashs.Anime.smile' raised an error: TypeError: Invalid usage of typing.Union

    @subcommand(f"bot")

class Lumabot_Prefix_Context(bridge.BridgeExtContext):
    ...
    
LumabotContext = typing.Union[Lumabot_App_Context, Lumabot_Prefix_Context]

and im also getting the good context

    async def get_context(self, message: discord.Message, cls=Lumabot_Prefix_Context):
        return await super().get_context(message, cls=cls)
    
    async def get_application_context(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, cls=Lumabot_App_Context):
        return await super().get_application_context(interaction, cls=cls)

[echo wraith]

Was wondering, is it possible to get title and description of link embeds and whether a link was embedded directly from discord or do I need to check manually with something the open graph meta tags

[fresh sierra]

embed.url ?

[echo wraith]

Yeah but I mean with embeds that come from links - not embeds crafted by the bot. Do they work the same?

[fresh sierra]

an embed is an embed

so if you have a link of a message

just access to the embed of the message

[echo wraith]

👍 thanks

[umbral gazelle]

I'm trying to get user language. I checked command with my or my friends accounts and it works fine, but sometimes it raises that error for random people.

what's your code for it

[fresh sierra]

It’s ctx.locale

[umbral gazelle]

What about ctx.interaction.locale?

[fresh sierra]

Does existe

Doesnt

[umbral gazelle]

Now I understand...

[errant trout]

no.... ctx.locale is ctx.interaction.locale

[fresh sierra]

oooooo its a shortcut ?

mb then

[errant trout]

basically everything on ctx is a shortcut

[fresh sierra]

thanks for that

then for prefix command

how can you get the local since there is no interaction ?

i have my reponse, you dont

[errant trout]

you don't

locale is exclusive to interactions

[fresh sierra]

Yep, when bridge will be supported I will have to do some workaround

[flat wind]

is there a way to start the new shard when a bot is joining much servers without having to restart the full bot ?

[fresh sierra]

Not possible I think because share are start when the bot begin to run

[fresh sierra]

locale = ctx.guild.preferred_locale if not ctx.is_app else ctx.locale or ctx.guild_locale

[flat wind]

okay but if there is an event listener for shard ready, there is no way to tell the bot to start the new shard provided by discord ?
like on all on_guild_join events, a verification of the shard number is sent to discord, and if the number is different from the actual one, just start the new shard

same for on_guild_remove

[fresh sierra]

i think there is not methode to actually start a shard

or maybe autoshardedbot handle that itself but i dont think

[flat wind]

no it does not, that's why I am asking for this

[fresh sierra]

there is a method shard connect

maybe if you edit the bot.shard_count while running to a bigger value

and then do for shard_id in shard_count get_shard then shard.connect

[fresh sierra]

(need to be test but i dont see why it will not work)

[flat wind]

Yeah I will see, thanks

[fresh sierra]

too short to thanks me, first look if it works ;)

[wintry zephyr]

Can I tag an entire cog to fall under a group? In my main bot.py I am defining my base command group (/command), defining a couple of basic commands under it, then loading cogs afterwards. As mentioned above, I'd like for my command structures to be /command cog cog_subcommand - any suggestions as to how to implement that with this package?

[fresh sierra]

I think the easiest way I do to add the decorator@subcommand before each @command

There is other way to do that with some file / folder but it’s way harder and I never did that

[wintry zephyr]

So would it be like below?

@subcommand("command")
@subcommand("cog")
@command.command(name="XX")
async def blah(self, ctx):
   await ctx.respond("Hi")

This is within my cog's class

[fresh sierra]

Nah j understand know what you mean

First you create ur group
group = discord.SlashCommandGroup(name="group")
subgroup = group.create_subgroup(name="sub")
And then you do
@subcommand("group sub")

Im on phone so its normal for the missing codeblock +other thing

[wintry zephyr]

Ok ok, I get it. Let me try that out

[wintry zephyr]

bot.py

import discord
from discord.commands import SlashCommandGroup
from discord.ext import commands
from pycord.multicog import Bot

owner_id = 0000000000000

intents = discord.Intents.default()
bot = Bot(auto_sync_commands=True, intents=intents, owner_id=owner_id)

cmds = SlashCommandGroup("basegroup")

@cmds.command(name="ping", description="Pong!")
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Pong! 🏓")

# Load default cogs
modules.cog.setup(bot)

# Start the bot
bot.run(token="XXX")

modules.cog.py

import discord
from discord.commands import SlashCommandGroup
from discord.ext import commands

from pycord.multicog import Bot
from pycord.multicog import subcommand

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

    subcommand_group = SlashCommandGroup(name="cog")

    @subcommand("basegroup cog")
    @commands.slash_command(name="XX")
    async def blah(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        await ctx.respond("Hi")
    
def setup(bot: discord.Bot):
    bot.add_cog(Cogs(bot))

Getting the following error message when running

I'd wager its probably the way I'm defining the subgroup in the bottom code block, however, I get a similar issue when creating the subgroup off the cmds object context

[fresh sierra]

You need to define the group cog as subgroup of basegroup

Not create a new group

[wintry zephyr]

If I drop the subcommand_group = SlashCommandGroup(name="cog") in modules.cog.py and add cmds.create_subgroup("cog") below cmds = SlashCommandGroup("basegroup") in bot.py I get the same thing

[fresh sierra]

And to do that it should be on the same file for the creation of group and subgroup

Can you show me the updated cog ?

And the decorator should be just upper the @commands

Not with a different identetion

[wintry zephyr]

bot.py

import discord
from discord.commands import SlashCommandGroup
from discord.ext import commands
from pycord.multicog import Bot

owner_id = 0000000000000

intents = discord.Intents.default()
bot = Bot(auto_sync_commands=True, intents=intents, owner_id=owner_id)

cmds = SlashCommandGroup("basegroup")
cmds.create_subgroup("cog")

@cmds.command(name="ping", description="Pong!")
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Pong! 🏓")

# Load default cogs
modules.cog.setup(bot)

# Start the bot
bot.run(token="XXX")

modules.cog.py

import discord
from discord.commands import SlashCommandGroup
from discord.ext import commands

from pycord.multicog import Bot
from pycord.multicog import subcommand

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

    @subcommand("basegroup cog")
    @commands.slash_command(name="XX")
    async def blah(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        await ctx.respond("Hi")
    
def setup(bot: discord.Bot):
    bot.add_cog(Cogs(bot))

[fresh sierra]

Also you should not change the type hint to Bot, continue to use the commands.Bot

[fresh sierra]

Here the @decoezror is not well place

Im on phone so maybe

But it doesn’t appear

Can you do a screenshot ?

[wintry zephyr]

The ping command isn't what I'm concerned about - I haven't used @subcommand with that

[fresh sierra]

Im talking for the XX commands

[fresh sierra]

It looks good, when you run that specific code what does it return ?

[fresh sierra]

This is when ur run the code ?

[wintry zephyr]

yep

it doesn't actually initialise - fails when trying to load the cog

[fresh sierra]

Can you show me how u load the cog ?

[wintry zephyr]

In bot.py I call modules.cogs.setup(bot) which runs the setup function at the bottom of the modules.cog.py screenshot

Prior to trying to implement all this subcommand stuff, this all worked fine and it would launch

[lofty parcel]

Did you read the error

[fresh sierra]

Yeah but the error should not occur since both group has been vreated

?tag paste

[limber wagon]

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

[fresh sierra]

Can you put all ur file there

[wintry zephyr]

Yes, however, I don't think I would want it to be independent (if I'm properly understanding what independent actually means)

[fresh sierra]

I go at my house and then check from my Mac

[fresh sierra]

Indépendant mean not in a group

[wintry zephyr]

https://mystb.in/114966077b1be86b69

Appreciate the help

[fresh sierra]

you should use the bot.load_extention("modules.cog")

try and see if it fix it

[wintry zephyr]

ok, lets give that a go - for my own understanding, what's the difference?

[fresh sierra]

load_extension is how you run cog

basically

[wintry zephyr]

Was I meant to replace the code in bot.py or modules.cog.py sorry?

[fresh sierra]

just the one in bot.py

by removing the modes.cog.setup(bot)

and also, remove the import modules

because to do modules.cog.py , you need to import it, and import it will run the cog before running the creation of group

and because of that u have this error

[wintry zephyr]

Ok, I've made those changes but I'm still getting the same error

my folder structure is like this:

|  src
|  - bot.py
|  - modules/
|    - cog.py

[fresh sierra]

the load_exention should be

src.modules.cog i guess

[wintry zephyr]

I'm referencing it correctly here yeah?

[fresh sierra]

but this thing is strange the red thing

is that an extension ?

let me try ur code

let me try

can you do a pip freeze

and give it me what it return ?

[wintry zephyr]

aiohttp==3.9.5
aiosignal==1.3.1
attrs==23.2.0
frozenlist==1.4.1
idna==3.7
multidict==6.0.5
py-cord==2.5.0
pycord-multicog==2.1.1
python-dotenv==1.0.1
yarl==1.9.4

[fresh sierra]

https://mystb.in/a5a8138bab3dca279c

here how you can do

you apprenlty cant define group in main

so by putting the init you can put everything

[wintry zephyr]

ok, so basically what we're seeing is it loads cogs to the command list before the commands we define loosely in non-cog classes, and as a result we aren't actually initialising our command groups before the cog gets loaded

[wintry zephyr]

Everything is now working as intended, thanks for your help @fresh sierra

[fresh sierra]

the init is load first so yes

with pleasure ;)

[quartz umbra]

Hello, I am encountering a strange issue with my bot. Though it appears online, and the console shows no sign of it going offline, after using one slash command, the bot's slash commands cannot be found again? I do not know why this could be happening

[lofty parcel]

Uhh, make sure you're not running multiple instances.

[little cobalt]

Do you use cogs?

[fresh sierra]

strange there is someone else with that issue

https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1249331057359065109

maybe he did find a solution since

[quartz umbra]

Nope

[quartz umbra]

I don't think i am

[quartz umbra]

That isn't the issue I'm encountering, like the slash command just disappears from the menu. It works once after the bot has been started

I have the source code of the bot on my github: https://github.com/SDSCodes22/PvP-Practice-Bot

[sage tendon]

have you considered using cogs

[quartz umbra]

why would I need them? I don't know what they are - I thought they were for grouping commands

[sage tendon]

Yea, have you looked at your bot file? its huge

well okay 300 lines isnt huge but in the scope of a discord bot (main.py), it is

[quartz umbra]

Yeah, is there a way to like separate each command into its own file? That would be helpful tbh

[sage tendon]

no, thats just unnecessary

use cogs

one command per file is too much

cogs typically make you put several similar ones into one file, which is well enough

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

[quartz umbra]

thanks, I'll look into that, but my original issue of the slash commands seemingly stopping to exist continues to perplex me

[sage tendon]

also uh

consider adding .DS_store to your gitignore, lol

[sage tendon]

and no clue, your code is kinda messy because its all in one file, but i cant see anything that would cuase that

just really make sure your bot isnt running twice, reset the token if you want to make double sure

[fresh sierra]

You can using cog and making one command in each cog

[quartz umbra]

alright

[deft kestrel]

wat

[fresh sierra]

show code

[deft kestrel]

this is it

[sage tendon]

is this in a cog?

if not, remove the self

[deft kestrel]

Yeah, it's in a cog

[sage tendon]

are you sure this code is causing that?
what did you last change since it worked

also, don't use has_permissions with slash commands

[deft kestrel]

I added in logging when settings are changed

and what replacement should I use for has_permissions

[sage tendon]

the @analytics? well, then try to find what it touches and make it not break stuff

[sage tendon]

discord.default_permissions

[deft kestrel]

That didn't break anything since the time it was added, it's been there for over 5 months in production and hasn't thrown a single error

[sage tendon]

so you changed nothing about the code of the command?

[deft kestrel]

Nothing above the async def, only the contents of the function

[sage tendon]

and the traceback shows that command being the issue?

[deft kestrel]

No, the screenshot I posted is the whole log, alongside a ready message

I have it set on debug mode

[fresh sierra]

Can you try without some decorator to troubleshoot it ?

[deft kestrel]

Ok I tried it again without changing a single thing in the code and now it works

interesting

[deft kestrel]

How do I accept an emoji as an option of a command?

discord.Emoji in option type doesn't work properly

It only works with custom emojis, but I want the default ones too

Please reply ping to me, I'm going to go sleep now

[rain dune]

is there anyway object for guilds like we have for members for easy choosing of members

like

user: Option(discord.Member, "Mention the user you want to send", required=True)

[lofty parcel]

No

You'd have to create an autocomplete yourself

[deft kestrel]

.

[tidal vessel]

Can you show your command?

[deft kestrel]

Currently not at the PC, so I can't, but there's one parameter emoji: discord.Emoji

This parameter causes the warning above, unless a custom emoji is supplied

[tidal vessel]

That's just for discord emojis. If you want default emojis it is not necessary

[deft kestrel]

I want both

[little cobalt]

I dont even really know if its possible to do the stuff with the emojis

[fresh sierra]

Check partial emoji

[deft kestrel]

Ok, once I get home

[sage tendon]

discord.Emoji is a valid command option??

[little cobalt]

Well

I know I tried that at some point and it was not working

[sage tendon]

it would definitely be very new to me

[lapis dock]

According to ddev docs it is not

[sage tendon]

but how

[deft kestrel]

If I do str(emoji) it does :heart: for ❤️ and ![pycord](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1063211537008955495.webp?size=128 "pycord") for , right

[sage tendon]

i mean yea but im still flabbergasted about discord.Emoji as an option type

are you very sure it doesnt just fall back to str

[deft kestrel]

it works with custom emojis

Im going to try PartialEmoji as it should work with unicode ones, there's is_unicode_emoji()

[sage tendon]

emoji is not a slashcommandoptiontype

yea, neither emoji nor partialemoji is

apparently it still works and is passed as a emoji, but thats undocumented then
i really doubt this is intended behaviour

[sage tendon]

i tested it

yea, i just tested it

its a complete mess, undocumented, probably unintended, and doesnt work properly

what cause this error? other bot in my vps doesn't have this issue, it's always happen when using Message.add_reaction()

[fresh sierra]

Seems like an issue with ur host

Like an internet error

Maybe try to reinstall pycord bit I don’t rhino it will resolve it

[atomic fern]

[deft kestrel]

I settled on using this as my code

[rain dune]

how do i check if a button is clicked or not
?

view = discord.ui.View()
            yes_button = discord.ui.Button(label='Yes', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)

added this to my embed

[lofty parcel]

Youre supposed to subclass the view class and add the buttons with their callbacks there.
https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons

[rain dune]

alright thanks

[sage tendon]

why ctx.response.send_message?

[deft kestrel]

It was similar in discord.py

[sage tendon]

ctx.respond

[deft kestrel]

Before I switched to this library

I haven't studied it too much but this seems to work so I used it, but now I'm going to replace all ctx.response.send_message() with ctx.respond() using a regex

[sage tendon]

regex?

have you heard of "find and replace"

[deft kestrel]

woah there's a lot

[sage tendon]

also, you have the exact same line of code three times, that code doesnt adhere to DRY :3

[deft kestrel]

It's a bit messy I know

[errant trout]

it is intended because it's a Converter class

all Converters and their related classes are acceptable types, giving parity to prefix commands even when limited to string

[sage tendon]

oki

good to know

but i wish vanilla emojis worked then

[errant trout]

it'd be nice, but unicode emojis are just considered strings; the Emoji class is targetted towards custom emojis

[deft kestrel]

50% of the time when commands are run it gives 404 unknown interaction but then other times it doesnt?

[little cobalt]

Can you show the command?

[maiden bloom]

Anyone know why my slash command with the @has_permissions(administrator=True) decorator triggers false negatives?

[sage tendon]

because you should not use that decorator with slash commands

[errant trout]

wdym

[errant trout]

it's an internal check, nothing wrong with it

[sage tendon]

you should always use default_permissions

[errant trout]

not necessarily

[maiden bloom]

I haven’t been able to replicate it, but I’ve had several users say they have admin but that error message gets triggered anyway. Then after they wait a while and run the command again with the same permissions, it works. They could be wrong but wanted to check here first just in case

[sage tendon]

in 95% of cases

[errant trout]

are you sure it's not a different error and perhaps you're try-catching too broadly?

[errant trout]

they're not equivalent, default_permissions is freely controllable by other members in the guild while has_permissions is not.

ultimately it depends on your goal.

[sage tendon]

i am well aware of that

[maiden bloom]

This is how I’m handling it:

@toggle_integrated_ticketing.error
    async def toggle_integrated_ticketing_error(self, ctx, error):
        utilities = self.bot.get_cog("Utilities")
        if isinstance(error, MissingPermissions):
            await utilities.send_command_requires_admin_error_msg(ctx)

[sage tendon]

but default permissions hides the command which is what people generally try / want

[errant trout]

right, but the point is if you don't want it useable at all then has_permissions is objectively safer.

[sage tendon]

either only default, or both.

[errant trout]

could you perhaps log the author and permissions that were missing?

the error has a missing_permissions attribute which is a list of what failed

it would be easier if some pattern could be found, im guessing cache is weird about it but not sure

[maiden bloom]

Definitely, I’d just rather not fill up a log file or display a messy error to the user. For the purpose of fixing this I could though

[errant trout]

yeah just some quiet logging is fine

[sage tendon]

either way, consider switching to default_permissions unless you have reasons not to
because typically you also wanna hide admin commands from non admins

[maiden bloom]

I’m fine with non admins seeing the commands. I only have the admin requirement set because the commands change the guild’s configuration for the bot. I’d rather have users see the error message and realize they need admin than not see the command entirely and come complaining in the support server

[sage tendon]

thats... a unique reason lol

how would they even know it exists when they never see it lolw

[maiden bloom]

Tutorials and documentation. I see your point, that's just not the way I'd rather implement it

[nova epoch]

I've made a cog to implement CaptchaVerification into my bot. When running the bot, I get the following error:
discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.CaptchaVerification' raised an error: AttributeError: 'AutoShardedBot' object has no attribute 'add_command'
I have looked into this with the docs, and my syntax is how the docs said it should be:

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        extName = filename[:-3]
        bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{extName}')```

Anyone got any ideas on causes?

This is what is raising the exception btw: File "C:\Users\there\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python311\site-packages\discord\cog.py", line 562, in _inject

[little cobalt]

Can you show the pip list pls

[nova epoch]

You're about to get the text equivalent of a zip bomb.

okay nevermind its 1800 characters too long for me to send

Okay there we go ^

[little cobalt]

mhm

[candid ore]

Does anyone know why I get this error while trying to install the turtle library?

[nova epoch]

it would need to be py except ValueError as ve: <code>

[little cobalt]

do you use any old system?

or any old windows versions?

[candid ore]

I do

[nova epoch]

It's a very old copy of Win10, most likely a compatibility issue. What version of python is it?

[candid ore]

3.8

[little cobalt]

@nova epoch at how many servers is your bot?

[nova epoch]

One at the moment. Hoping to scale it in the future though.

[little cobalt]

how did you define the bot?

[nova epoch]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.messages = True
intents.message_content = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.guild_messages = True

bot = discord.AutoShardedBot(intents=intents)```

[little cobalt]

if your bot is not at 2500+ server you dont need AutoShardedBot

[fresh sierra]

You only need intents.message_content = True since u are using default

[little cobalt]

just use discord.Bot()

[fresh sierra]

I think it’s better when it’s in more then 1000

(It will automatically pop a shard)

[nova epoch]

I did have discord.Bot, I only changed it to see if it would sort the error. It did not :(

[nova epoch]

I know, it's just clearer to me so I like to have it like this.

[fresh sierra]

Okay

What ur issue I didn’t really understand

[nova epoch]

It's all here.

[fresh sierra]

I look at that when im at house

[candid ore]

guys I'm still learning so just wanna know how often do u use RegEx and do I have to know all the syntaxes?

[nova epoch]

I find regex to be quite useful, but it depends with what you're making.
No, you can use tools online to generate regex expressions without having to know the syntax. I would suggest learning some basic syntax for pattern recognition though.

[candid ore]

ok, tnx

[sage tendon]

Rule #1, you dont learn regex

you use https://regex101.com or similar stuff

Rule #2, avoid regex if at all possible

[edgy nest]

what are you talking about, regex is a great tool

[sage tendon]

i know

[lofty parcel]

discord.Bot doesn't support prefixed commands.

So add_command doesn't exist in discord.Bot

[fresh totem]

GMGM!

    call = SlashCommandGroup("postcall", "Publish Post Commands", guild_ids=adminServer)

    # DeFi Updatez
    @call.command()
    async def defi_update(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        await ctx.respond('<3')

rookie question, but where can I add the description* for the slash command defi_update?

[little cobalt]

description="" at the command

;3

[sage tendon]

that, or as a docstring using """ this syntax """ right under the function definition

[fresh sierra]

Idk this will work for everything, ik for prefix it’s considered has short_doc or brief and not description (in my memory)
So description= should be better

[sage tendon]

man idk but thats not a bridge command to me

and it should work just fine on bridge too

[fresh sierra]

Still a thing to consider because we never know

[sage tendon]

completely unnecessary

[fresh sierra]

Nah

But u can think whatever you want tbh

[lofty parcel]

You should use description=

[sage tendon]

meh, doesnt matter

[nova epoch]

Is there a way to load cogs without it invoking a missing bot.add_command?
None of the cogs it is loading even have a text command, it's all interactions :/

[fresh sierra]

bot.load_extension

[nova epoch]

That's what I'm using, but that invokes bot.add_command:

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        extName = filename[:-3]
        bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{extName}')
        print(f"Loaded cog: '{extName}'")```

[fresh sierra]

it should tell u the issue if there is one

you can do
bot.load_extension("cogs", recursive = True)

and it should trigger the setup more at the end of ur cog

can you show me how does look ur cog ?

[nova epoch]

The setup is literally py def setup(bot): bot.add_cog(VerificationCog(bot))

The actual cog is way too long to put here

[sage tendon]

show your pip list, show your bot variable definition

[nova epoch]

Bot definition

[nova epoch]

Pip list

[sage tendon]

ah

[fresh sierra]

ur not using prefix right ?

[nova epoch]

Nope

[fresh sierra]

can you show me how does look one of ur command ?

[sage tendon]

well, i definitely saw that error before

[fresh sierra]

just the command definition

[nova epoch]

The command itself is this

@commands.command(name="verify", description="Begin your verification attempt.")
async def verify(self, ctx):
    verify_url = f"https://{api_url}/?discord_id={ctx.author.id}&site_key={self.turnstile_site_key}"
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="Human Verification",
        description=f"Please verify you are human by clicking the link below and completing the Turnstile challenge:\n[Verify Here]({verify_url})",
        color=discord.Color.blue()
    )
    embed.add_field(name="Note", value="Powered by Cloudflare Turnstile Enterprise")
    view = discord.ui.View()
    view.add_item(VerifyButton(self, ctx.author.id))
    await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view, ephemeral=True)```

[fresh sierra]

this is for prefix

@commands.command

that ur issue

you should use @discord.slash_command

[nova epoch]

bruhhhhhhhhhhhhh

im gonna die istg

[sage tendon]

no, in cogs it's @discord.slash_command

[nova epoch]

i thought they were aliases 😭

[fresh sierra]

dw

[sage tendon]

also, why not make a proper view subclass with the button you want

[nova epoch]

like this button?

class VerifyButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, cog, user_id):
        super().__init__(label='Submit Verification Token', style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
        self.cog = cog
        self.user_id = user_id

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_modal(VerificationModal(self.cog, self.user_id))```

[fresh sierra]

well you can just do

instead of
view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(VerifyButton(self, ctx.author.id))
do
await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=VerifyButton(self, ctx.author.id), ephemeral=True)

[sage tendon]

im almost certain thats not how views work

[nova epoch]

the view works fine (to my knowledge)

i guess we';; see

IT HASNT ERRORED THIS TIME GUYS

1m ill test

yea ok i broke it gimme a min]

[fresh sierra]

mb i didnt see it was a discord.ui.Button and not view

[maiden bloom]

It worked for them after waiting for a while. I didn’t add the logging yet. I’m assuming this means it’s probably related to caching? This is similar to what other users experienced as well

[dull iron]

hi, I made a silly webhook generator to imitate friends on our server like:

@bot.command(description="Imite un utilisateur")
async def imite(ctx, user: discord.User, *, message: str):
    avatar = await user.avatar.read()
    webhook = await ctx.channel.create_webhook(name=user.nick, avatar=avatar)
    await webhook.send(content=message)
    await webhook.delete()

how can I setup the color of the nickname, it would be better but i can't find anything on the doc or internet about it 😦

please telle me there's a way

[errant trout]

Not possible for webhooks

[errant trout]

Kinda a stretch, but could you see if has_guild_permissions is any more reliable?

[vital bramble]

I have a quick intent question:
I did this (and enabled the intents in the dev portal)

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

But now, when I receive an on_message event, I don't get the Message.content. But when I fetch messages with e.g. Channel.history, I do get the content? Why is that? Did I set the intents right?

It's also weird, because a few days before it did already work using exactly this setup...

[fresh sierra]

.tag intents

[sly karma]

Pycord Docs - Intents
Discord API Docs - Gateway Intents

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

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

[fresh sierra]

Strange because it should work, does ur bot have the correct permission ?

[torn spire]

Don't you need .guilds and .messages ?

[shell radish]

comes with default

[torn spire]

ah

[vital bramble]

yeah, nothing changed afaik.
It's a bot I wrote for someone else, and they came to me because it didn't work anymore.

[shell radish]

Can confirm that the code is correct

[vital bramble]

They asked here themselves already (and solved it by replacing the default with all) but I don't understand what the issue was...
https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1251082779861454868

oh nvm

they actually still had an older version where there was only default() set.

[hoary cradle]

im reloading my cog which adds my new print statement but doesn't remove my old print statement, i don't receive any errors what could the issue be?

[frail basin]

We'll need more context

Both old and new code get executed?

[hoary cradle]

it seems so

its within a loop

[lofty parcel]

Where's the print?

[fresh sierra]

There is an issue here where when unloading a cog doesn’t remove old command so it might be ur issue

[umbral gazelle]

Is it possible to make my bot use all CPU threads instead of just one?

[torn spire]

If your command is very CPU intensive you can you can use multi threading to use more cores

Or if your bot has a lot of guilds, you can shard the bot

[sly karma]

Tag not found.

Tag not found.

[sage tendon]

why?

[umbral gazelle]

My bot uses the on_guild_available event on startup to do some checks.

[sage tendon]

go on

[umbral gazelle]

Im using AutoShardedBot.

[umbral gazelle]

?

[sage tendon]

why does this need multithreading

also, isn't that event meant for servers that basically go offline?

[umbral gazelle]

Because as soon as I have this event called 200 times (200 guilds), my load increases to 100% on 1 thread and 0% on the remaining 35 threads and it lasts almost a minute.

[sage tendon]

well, what are you checking with that event?
its really not something you need typically because guilds rarely ever go offline
your case seems more like you want to check all guilds once the bot starts

[umbral gazelle]

I have checks there such as adding guilds to the database if not exist, removing unnecessary temporary voice channels completing giveaways, etc. My bot should always check this on startup for each guild.

[sage tendon]

then just iterate through all guilds

you're kind of absuing that event lol

just use bot.guilds and iterate through it, with asyncio.sleep possibly so you can regulate the speed

[umbral gazelle]

Before that I did it via on_ready but it produced exactly the same load and the same execution time

[sage tendon]

async db calls?

[umbral gazelle]

Yea

[sage tendon]

can you show your code if it isnt too much?

because, for real, your CPU usage shouldn't go to absolutely 100% for a minute

[umbral gazelle]

I'm on phone

[sage tendon]

well then, do it when you can

[fresh sierra]

Check for any recursive function about that

[torn spire]

does pycord not have any way to manually shard to 36 threads?

[sage tendon]

but really, you should just iterate through bot.guilds

[sage tendon]

i dont think you understand how sharding works

[torn spire]

Does it just use a separate websocket connection only?

[sage tendon]

almost certainly

[torn spire]

In djs there was a hacky way to run a single bot on multiple servers iirc

Does pycord not have anything like that?

[sage tendon]

think someone said you can, but you have to manually specify shard ids per machine

[torn spire]

Yeah you have to do the same in djs

[fresh sierra]

Yes that possible with cluster

[umbral gazelle]

Here it is

[sage tendon]

what is create_task?

Also I mean
You iterate through every guild, and potentially every of those guilds' members
That is... a lot

[tiny fractal]

Is there anything against using fetch over gets methods. Wouldn’t be called in loops or anything. Just hate how discord client cache is crap and I can never see the mention names in my moderation embeds.

[umbral gazelle]

its asyncio.create_task

[sage tendon]

that has nothing to do with fetch or get

mentions in embeds don't resolve properly, thats just a discord bug

But generally, avoid fetch if you can

[tiny fractal]

Roger

[sage tendon]

ping them in the content, thats how i do it

that way, if you leave the embed ping there, that'll also work if the normal ping resolves fine

[umbral gazelle]

Thats 14588 users.

How can I improve speed?

[sage tendon]

yea, well, why do you need to iterate through so much on every bot start

thats the first thing you could work on lol

and again, if time isnt critical, iterate through bot.guilds and use asyncio.sleep to regulate sleep

[fresh sierra]

Why aren’t u using some loop ?

It will delay the process and not put everything in one time

(Task.loop)

So you can do 3 différents loops one for giveaway one for voice one for autorole

[umbral gazelle]

How

[sage tendon]

How would i save attachments to a specific folder?

[little cobalt]

add the folder path?

[daring grove]

    async def download_attachments(channel):
        for message in channel.history(limit=None):
            for attachment in message.attachments:
                save_path = os.path.join(parts_directory, attachment.filename)
                await attachment.save(save_path)

I thought this would save the attachment to my parts_directory

[little cobalt]

lemme get the attachment stuff, 1 sec.

Cheers

[little cobalt]

take a look at that

[fresh totem]

Do we have something like on_raw_reaction for Buttons such that the buttons responds even if the instance is re-run..

[little cobalt]

that is for emoji reactions

[fresh totem]

yes, can we make it work for buttons?

functionality of on_raw_reaction but for UI Buttons.

[little cobalt]

the event is called on_interaction

[fresh totem]

yes, but let's say I re run the bot - the same button no longer responds.

I want it to be able to 'revive' the button so it continues to respond - just like reaction emojis do in on_raw_reactions

[sage tendon]

you need persistent views for that

and you dont need to listen for any event for that

Hi. I'm trying to create permission overwrite for specific roles when creating a category

Code:

    moderatorsRole = await guild._fetch_role(ModeratorsID)

        # 1v1 Cateogry
    perm1v1Challenge = {
        guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(send_messages=False, view_channel=False),
        judgeRole: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True, send_messages=True, view_channel=True),
        moderatorsRole: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True, send_messages=True, view_channel=True),
        guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True, send_messages=True, view_channel=True)}

    category1: discord.CategoryChannel = await guild.create_category(name="🟢┊Ongoing 1v1 Challenges", overwrites=perm1v1Challenge, position=0)```

**Error:**

```    category1: discord.CategoryChannel = await guild.create_category(name="🟢┊Ongoing 1v1 Challenges", overwrites=perm1v1Challenge, position=0)
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    data = await self._create_channel(
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    "id": target.id,
          ^^^^^^^^^```

What am I doing wrong? when I remove judgeRole and moderatorRole overwrites, it works fine.

[sage tendon]

why guild._fetch_role

also, you should first try getting the role anyway, it should be cached regardless
only fetch when necessary

[fresh totem]

only other relevant one is - get_role

and it gave the same error

[fresh totem]

right, tried:

judgeRole = guild.get_role(JudgeRoleID)

same error

[sage tendon]

what if you print judgeRole

[little cobalt]

Du weißt eh schon, was bei print raus kommt

so, what did you get?

[fresh totem]

prints the role name

👩‍⚖️ Judge

should have printed the object, correct?

[sage tendon]

also, you dont have to typehint everything
we aren't in java, and the return type of that function is already categorychannel

[sage tendon]

no, thats normal
discord.Role.__str__ is the role name

[fresh totem]

gotcha

[sage tendon]

plus excessive typehints make your code less readable IMO
the only place you usually need typehints are function parameters

[fresh totem]

yeah, got rid of it, it's the only unnecessary typehint in the snippet..

[sage tendon]

:>

also, can you send the full error here?

like the entire traceback

[fresh totem]

    judgeRole = guild.get_role(JudgeRoleID)
    moderatorsRole = guild.get_role(ModeratorsID)

        # 1v1 Cateogry
    perm1v1Challenge = {
        guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(send_messages=False, view_channel=False),
        judgeRole: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True, send_messages=True, view_channel=True),
        moderatorsRole: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True, send_messages=True, view_channel=True),
        guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True, send_messages=True, view_channel=True)}

    category1 = await guild.create_category(name="🟢┊Ongoing 1v1 Challenges", overwrites=perm1v1Challenge, position=0)```

      ^^^^^^^^^

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

[sage tendon]

can you print both judgerole and moderatorsrole

im a bit confused on that error ngl

[fresh totem]

ohhh f that's where I messed up

[sage tendon]

what was it

wrong moderator id?

[fresh totem]

I never gave the right moderatorID

🤦‍♂️

[sage tendon]

:>

[little cobalt]

quick reminder

.get_x

[sly karma]

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.

[fresh totem]

Thank you for your time < 3

[sage tendon]

np

[fresh totem]

makes sense, noted

[sage tendon]

you rarely need fetch

i dont have a single fetch in my bot

[little cobalt]

I still added it

[sage tendon]

yeye its good

[little cobalt]

just to be safe

[fresh totem]

I have a lot of fetches - would it be considered inefficient?

[little cobalt]

I do it like that

[sage tendon]

well, its an unnecessary API call

[fresh sierra]

you can do
guild = client.get_guild or await guild.fetch

[little cobalt]

so I can import it

[sage tendon]

costs a tiny amount of time and is, as i said, generally unnecessary

[fresh sierra]

if you want to have a thing smaller

[fresh sierra]

have you subclass ur cllent ?

[sage tendon]

unless your bot is in a huge amount of servers with a billion members, your bot has everything cached

and fetch just ignores cache

[little cobalt]

yes why?

[fresh sierra]

did the same that's why ;)

[little cobalt]

I even got both bots sub classed

[fresh totem]

aight, gotcha!

[little cobalt]

(discord and twitch bot)

[sage tendon]

ok N E R D

[little cobalt]

you are also a nerd so ;3

[fresh sierra]

also, you dont need to tyehint commands.Bot, you can just do self

and it will type hint using ur class

[sage tendon]

you dont even know if thats a method of their bot subclass

could just be in a util file

[fresh sierra]

if it was in another file, why use commands.Bot and not the good class ? (the one he subclass)

[weary meteor]

hey all, how can i purge every message in a channel except for the first message that was sent

[fresh sierra]

delete and recreate the channel

[sage tendon]

set the limit to the message count of the channel - 1
i assume there wont be a lot of messages
if yes, do it like luma said

[fresh sierra]

for channel in guild.channels:
    if channel.id == ctx.channel.id:
      continue
    ur renew here

[weary meteor]

i cant delete the channel, i need to jus delete all the messages except for the first one, when you say -1, do you mean ctx.channel.purge(limit=-1)?

[fresh sierra]

if there is a lot of message in ur channel

it will be difficult

i dont think there is any limit arg

[weary meteor]

there probably wont be over 500

[fresh sierra]

you should do so await channel.history(limit=-1) if i understood thooty and then delete all message

but purge can only delete 100 by 100

[weary meteor]

.history(limit=-1) returns an empty list

[sage tendon]

thats...

not how that works

[little cobalt]

lol

[weary meteor]

then what exactly were u askng me to do

[sage tendon]

still the same thing

but thats not how you count messages

[weary meteor]

so how do i in a performant manner

[little cobalt]

uh, do it one time and after that count every message which is getting send. I dont really know a better idea of it

if you gonna do it, you have to go from old to new or you gonna get a error soon

so its not gonna work with new to old if they are to many messages

[sage tendon]

also, just very generally, what are you trying to achieve

[weary meteor]

literally just delete every message in a channel except the first one, its sort of like a private channel but the first message is important so i dont want to delete that one but the rest can be deleted

[sage tendon]

yea i got that lol
but like, whats the use case

[weary meteor]

to just clear out the channel, sorta like how most utils bots have a !purge command

[sage tendon]

but why do you need to do it so frequently whats the point

[little cobalt]

I would instead safe the channel settings and delete/create the channel

[weary meteor]

does there have to be a point...? i want it bc its a convenience lmao, easier to run a command over hand deleting annoying msgs

[sage tendon]

knowing the actual point usually helps people find solutions for their odd problems

[weary meteor]

well there you have it, the only solution i need is to delete every message except for the first one that was sent in the channel

[sage tendon]

-w-

forget it

[fresh sierra]

role.is_integration return None even for the interagration of a bot

is that just me that dont know how to use it or its a bug

[fresh sierra]

What is the rate limit for the route : /channels/{channel_id}/webhooks"
Handled under the bucket "1251652749834194955:None:/channels/{channel_id}/webhooks"

[fresh sierra]

and same how many time can we edti webhooks and in how many time

[ivory beacon]

is there any way get the slash command name from message ?

/profile

like this slash command

[sage tendon]

ctx.command

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

docs are your friend

[fresh sierra]

ctx.command.name ?

[sage tendon]

or do you mean in an on_message event that catches a slash command interaction

[fresh sierra]

you can still do the same ig

since you can get the context from a message

or that only for prefix ?

[sage tendon]

well there is message.interaction.data which is a dict of the interaction data the docs dont further specify

[fresh sierra]

well

@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
    if message.interaction:
      ctx = await bot.get_application_context(message.interaction)
      ctx.command.name

[sage tendon]

ah

[fresh sierra]

didnt test but i dont see why it would not work

[little cobalt]

lol

why

[sage tendon]

well, it wont work for any other bot's messages

i guess

[little cobalt]

you could use on_interaction for it

[sage tendon]

depends on what they need really :> @ivory beacon

[fresh sierra]

yeah thats true, i jsut continue on my prefix thing

[ivory beacon]

i have to detect this embed and scrap some data

but i can't find any idea

[fresh sierra]

ctx.orignal_message

[sage tendon]

message.embeds

lol

[little cobalt]

its a message at the end

^

[ivory beacon]

like title is depend on user pets name
description isn't showing pet isn't prestiged (i mean 0)

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Interaction.original_message
discord.Interaction.edit_original_message
discord.Interaction.delete_original_message

[sage tendon]

no

[ivory beacon]

how to detect the message 😕

[fresh sierra]

why ?

[sage tendon]

on_message?

[ivory beacon]

here is the problem

[ivory beacon]

yes

[sage tendon]

its not their bot.

[ivory beacon]

dank memer owner gave me permission

[fresh sierra]

mb

[fresh sierra]

yeah but ctx will not work

[sage tendon]

i'm talking about something completely different

and.. permission for what lol

[ivory beacon]

ah ok

[sage tendon]

its not forbidden to literally read what the bot posts lmfao

[ivory beacon]

to use their data...

[sage tendon]

its literally public

if they didnt want the world to read it they shouldn't publicly post it

[ivory beacon]

i think there no way to get the command name ?

pets care

[sage tendon]

as i said, maybe this undocumented dict has it

[ivory beacon]

okh wait

[sage tendon]

print it and check

[ivory beacon]

ok

[ivory beacon]

thanks, got a json data

[sage tendon]

dict* :)

[ivory beacon]

ahh thanks:)

[sage tendon]

does it have the command name?

[ivory beacon]

yes

{'user': {'username': 'dipdey', 'public_flags': 4194560, 'id': '833972562210979891', 'global_name': 'D1P', 'discriminator': '0', 'clan': None, 'avatar_decoration_data': {'sku_id': '1154896005045694555', 'asset': 'a_c7e1751e8122f1b475cb3006966fb28c'}, 'avatar': 'f4482aef993c6c6757bf645edb690693'}, 'type': 2, 'name': 'info bot', 'id': '1251860422252826634'}

ofc different command, but it has command name

[ivory beacon]

@sage tendon
what is type ?

type:2 ?

[sage tendon]

the type of the interaction

[ivory beacon]

there others types of interaction ?

[sage tendon]

user commands, message commands, slash commands

button presses

[ivory beacon]

thanks mate

[cyan prism]

how do cogs work generally

I don't fully understand the concept

[little cobalt]

you just "split" your code in a another file

[cyan prism]

so what would the main file look like

just a regular bot with add_cog() stuff?

[little cobalt]

That is my main file

[cyan prism]

heh environment file

nice

[little cobalt]

I usually use json or yaml

[cyan prism]

but uh thanks I think I kinda get it now

[little cobalt]

well, 1 line is missing but yea....

[cyan prism]

oh also where do the cogs go

[little cobalt]

a new folder

[cyan prism]

oh that's nice

you don't need to specify them manually and can even organise them into categories

[little cobalt]

that one also loads all the sub folders

[sage tendon]

config.py anyone?

lol my discord didnt scroll down despite me hitting esc and trying to scroll

now it did

wtf
