Basic Pycord Help

[rain dune]

does it has something to do with asyncpg?

[warm linden]

are user-installed apps available for pycord?

[little cobalt]

.master

[sly karma]

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

[warm linden]

thanks is there an example of how to use it? the example here https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/2409 isn't available

[little cobalt]

that is a good question, I dont know if there is an example for it. I never used any user apps

[warm linden]

ah alright thanks for the help though!

[shell radish]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_users.py

[little cobalt]

@warm linden ^

[warm linden]

oh thanks guys

imma try it now

idk why im getting this
```AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'IntegrationType'``

[little cobalt]

Can you show the pip list pls?

[fresh sierra]

how can from the ctx i can get the command as a group since its a group? (prefix)

[upper flint]

How to properly configure a cog_check method in a Cog?
This code:

def cog_check(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    if ...:
        raise NotInHelpForum
    return True

async def cog_command_error(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, error: Exception):
    if isinstance(error, NotInHelpForum):
        await ctx.respond("...", ephemeral=True)

Instead of replying to user that he cannot execute a command throws this in the console:

[warm linden]

aiohttp==3.9.5
async-timeout==4.0.3
frozenlist==1.4.1
idna==3.7
multidict==6.0.5
py-cord==2.5.0
pymongo==4.8.0
requests==2.32.3

[fresh sierra]

its discordIntegration.IntefrationType

not directly discord

[nocturne steppe]

how to make my slash commands work on any chat with the "Use app anywhere"?

[fresh sierra]

using user app

[sage tendon]

You need something that isn't in stable pycord yet

[rancid arrow]

try making NotInHelpForum a subclass of CommandError

note i've never used this but this is what i gather from the docs
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/cogs.html#discord.Cog.cog_check
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check

[quartz umbra]

hi i'm using cogs to organise my code for the first time. When making a slash command, i have a few questions that I don't really get from docs:

1. How do I set description of the command
2. Can i still pass ctx as an arg?

[fresh sierra]

1. @discord.slash_command(description=)

2. yes and you will need to do it

[quartz umbra]

tysm, same with @ SlashCommandGroup.command too, right?

[fresh sierra]

yes

[quartz umbra]

wait 1 more question lol

do i need to set guild_ids here aswell?

(it's a small bot)

[fresh sierra]

only if u want to have hidden slash

in some guild

[lapis dock]

If you only want your commands to be in specific servers yes you will need to add guild_ids

[quartz umbra]

Wait, but I thought you had to put it in every server otherwise it takes a long time for the slash command to register and appear?

I heard if you don't put it, it takes upto 2 hours for the command to register

[cloud bloom]

To be honest, it's not that long

[lapis dock]

not anymore it is only 1-2 min now most of the time

[cloud bloom]

just refresh client side right after to make sure it works

[cloud bloom]

ye

[quartz umbra]

oh wait, really?

[cloud bloom]

I have my bot in ~100 servers and it's not that long

if you have it in one server I'm sure it'll be pretty fast

[quartz umbra]

lol, last time i made discord bots frequently was when slash commands were just introduced

so, i'm not the most updated

[cloud bloom]

right after discord.py fell?

[quartz umbra]

yep

[cloud bloom]

same same

I don't think this is a particularly new thing

time wise

[quartz umbra]

oh

damn

[cloud bloom]

idk

[sage tendon]

i've never had commands take more than a second to register

[cloud bloom]

How do I check perms based off of the: 'permissions': '2251799813685247', with Pycord?
given from:

{'id': '1044711937956651089', 'name': 'Nestling Bot', 'icon': '494e022f474aa71a77dd55d5322847a9', 'owner': True, 'permissions': '2251799813685247', 'features': ['NEWS', 'COMMUNITY', 'WELCOME_SCREEN_ENABLED', 'MEMBER_VERIFICATION_GATE_ENABLED', 'PREVIEW_ENABLED', 'CREATOR_ACCEPTED_NEW_TERMS', 'CREATOR_MONETIZABLE_PROVISIONAL', 'CHANNEL_ICON_EMOJIS_GENERATED', 'GUILD_ONBOARDING', 'SOUNDBOARD', 'GUILD_ONBOARDING_HAS_PROMPTS', 'GUILD_ONBOARDING_EVER_ENABLED', 'GUILD_SERVER_GUIDE']}

I'm using Oauth2 to get the user's token and then getting what guilds they're in with the bot. Then I want to check if they have at least manage server or higher.
Does Pycord have a way to do this based off of the value given by the API?

Do I have to check them manually using discord's bitwise docs?

[lapis dock]

You can create your own permissions object. The first arg is that number
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.Permissions
perms = discord.Permissions(123456)

[cloud bloom]

Ty!

[lapis dock]

Note the int vs string there

[cloud bloom]

Good catch

it'd raise an error if I inputted the wrong thing though right

[lapis dock]

not sure

[cloud bloom]

o

does this check overwritten perms like admin

if I check for manage server

[lapis dock]

I dont think so

[cloud bloom]

o it works

wait lemme test it on another server

[upper flint]

Yes, it worked flawlessly. Thanks a lot!

[quartz umbra]

Hi, can somebody help me resolve this error?

discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.config_cog' raised an error: ImportError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package

This is from trying to use relative imports inside a cog. From the error, i understand that it is not allowed to use relative imports in cogs, but, how else can I achieve the same behaviour?

This is the line: ```py
from ..helpers import config_helper

This is my full directory tree: ```

I was calling the above from the ranks_cog

[lofty parcel]

Imports are based off your main file

So you use from helpers import config_helper

[upper flint]

How can I make a clickable link in embed like the one in this picture?

[lofty parcel]

Text

[upper flint]

Thanks, that worked! I made a mistake by swapping these two, that's why it wasn't working (text)[url]

[upper flint]

I have a message command that can run in public threads. How can I restrict users from running it if thread is archived?

When function starts executing it automatically unarchives the thread. How can I prevent that?

[edgy nest]

You can't, if someone sends a message it un-archives the thread

unless i'm misunderstanding

[upper flint]

There is a public thread on a NextJS support server that has this functionality

When sending command it just errors with message "Not enough permissions"

[edgy nest]

You can lock the thread

[upper flint]

Lock?

[upper flint]

And this will prevent any messages from being sent?

And interrupt command execution?

Alright, seems like it. Thanks

[tidal zealot]

is it intended that when creating a command through the @myCommandGroup.command() wrapper, default_member_permissions is ignored?

or are subcommands not able to have default_member_permissions

[fresh sierra]

can you show how u created the group and command ?

[tidal zealot]

https://github.com/Ghostopheles/better-algalon/blob/f8b8fa92d9637958ede50d32b3d153c6f603fb9a/cogs/watcher.py#L517-L531

[fresh sierra]

i see, and yeah i don’t think sub command have default permission

since they are considered as 1 command from discord

[tidal zealot]

yeah I think that's probably the case

[fresh sierra]

you can still use a custom check

but will not be invisible

[tidal zealot]

yeah that's what I did - it works fine just doesn't hide the command

I think people will survive though

[upper flint]

Can bot rename threads created by other people and not himself?

[sage tendon]

what?

[fresh sierra]

What is a branches ?

[upper flint]

Threads, sorry

[quartz umbra]

aight

Hi, what is a setup function in a cog?

nvm found it in docs, it's this right?

def setup(bot): # this is called by Pycord to setup the cog
    bot.add_cog(Greetings(bot)) # add the cog to the bot```
Not in the cog class though?

fr

but like i gotta debug bout 100 more bugs till i could so

yea

thanks tho

yay it works, thank you so much!

Hello. I am getting another error which is very easy to understand, but I still do not see why it is being caused. Discord is complaining that all my command names are not unique, but I'm pretty sure they all are - I've triple checked! And I've definitely saved every file, so, what?

[sage tendon]

what did you change since it last worked is always the question

[quartz umbra]

no never mind i found it - it wasn't between 2 commands, it was between a command and a slash command group, lol (why is it every time i post a problem here after looking for ages, the second i post it, i find the solution? Lol)

[sage tendon]

spend 2 minutes more finding the issue then :>

[quartz umbra]

0-0

[lapis dock]

Sometimes writing/talking about your issue makes you realize what went wrong.

Rubber duck debugging is a programming technique used to help with debugging—fixing errors in your code. It involves explaining your code and what you are trying to achieve to a rubber duck, in its literal sense.
Why talk to a duck? I mean, a duck can’t engage you in conversation, or pinpoint a missing semicolon!

The whole point here is that you need to explain your code to something or someone.

The “duck” here could be anything or anyone. It could be a friend or colleague at work. If you’re a remote developer, it could be a flatmate or family member.

It could even be a pet—bunnies and stuffed frogs are acceptable, too.

[quartz umbra]

see? I'm not brain-deprived after all

[rough heron]

async def process_data(message):
    print("processing")
    mentions = message.mentions
    if len(mentions) <= 2:
        return

for message.mentions, I have some questions.

If the same person is pinged twice, so if I were to do @rough heron @rough heron, would the len(mentions) be one or two?

[quartz umbra]

.tias

[sly karma]

https://i.imgur.com/VkRzeQJ.png

[quartz umbra]

i guess like?

idk

[rough heron]

bruh xD

Valid but still

[quartz umbra]

like

idk

[quartz umbra]

I mean, docs says:

A list of Member that were mentioned.

[lofty parcel]

Convert it to a set, remove duplicates. (Assuming the list will contain the member object twice)

And looks like it doesn't duplicate the objects. From a quick test.

[sage tendon]

a set can't have duplicates anyway

[lofty parcel]

That's why I said convert it to a set lol

But the function already returns 1 member object even if multiple mentions of the same one

[sage tendon]

ah

[shadow bear]

Can you have multiple images in a rich embed?

not thumbnails

[errant trout]

.tag embed-images

[sly karma]

You can make multiple images appear in a single embed by matching their url attributes

first = discord.Embed(url="https://google.com", description=..., color=...)
first.set_image(url=...)
# etc. etc, do whatever you want with your first embed
second = discord.Embed(url="https://google.com")
second.set_image(url=...)  # do NOTHING else with the second embed
await ctx.send(embeds=[first, second])
```This works for up to 4 images at once.

[wise harness]

Are discord.commands.options not dynamically updated? The default value is set to datetime.datetime.now() but it doesn't seem to dynamically update its value when a slash command is run

[sage tendon]

nope

choices and default values are static

[wise harness]

That was a quick reply xD. Alright, thanks.

[sage tendon]

just use None as default and if that option is none, set it to now()

[lone hound]

can I make an application command with spaces in its name like this one, just using the core library? (also this bot (Loritta) was made with Kotlin soooo..)

[sage tendon]

thats a command group

[lone hound]

a

learned how to use it. anyways thx!

[lofty hedge]

what is the thing called where you can send a certain response depending the user

language

[little cobalt]

ctx.interaction.locale

[lofty hedge]

thanks

[little cobalt]

that is only user

[upper flint]

How to check if I can send a dm to user?

[lapis dock]

I dont think you can. You justhave to try/except it

[upper flint]

I see, okay. Then I'm a bit confused on what exactly does this method do: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Member.can_send. Can you explain it please?

[lapis dock]

I believe that that function checks to make sure that you have permission to send given content not if you have permission to send in the first place.
IE you could check to see if a message containg embeds and files could be sent in that channel

[upper flint]

🤠 👍

[umbral gazelle]

Is there an event that passes the guild when the bot starts? I tried on_ready and on_guild_available but they are called a few minutes after startup.

[fresh sierra]

What do you mean by invite that pass the guild ?

And for which use case (will be easier to help u)

[umbral gazelle]

I didn't say invite.

[umbral gazelle]

Startup checks.

[fresh sierra]

event *

[fresh sierra]

so guild avaible will be the first event where the guild are ready, you can maybe check about the on_connect but im not sure this will work

.rtfm on_connect

[sly karma]

7 results

discord.on_connect
discord.Bot.on_connect

discord.ext.bridge.Bot.on_connect
discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_connect
discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot.on_connect
discord.ext.bridge.AutoShardedBot.on_connect

[umbral gazelle]

on_connect is called after a few hours because the bot can reconnect.

[fresh sierra]

but why the bot disconect in the first place ?

and on_connect should also be trigger when the bot is online

[sage tendon]

for what purpose

[fresh sierra]

.

[sage tendon]

Oh i read that
That tells me absolutely nothing and is about as imprecise as their initial message

[deft kestrel]

there's any example about bot payments?

[little cobalt]

What?

[deft kestrel]

like i wanna do something when someone pay something in the bot

[sly karma]

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

[jagged ledge]

Is there a way to prevent a user from submitting a modal unless an input field exactly matches a given string?

[fresh sierra]

nope

[jagged ledge]

Good grief! Thank you

[sage tendon]

for what purpose?

[jagged ledge]

I'm trying to write something to manage TTRPG fights for a custom system. I want the GM to be able to invite any player they like to a fight, but only if they can type out the target's raw Discord username verbatim as a confirmation prompt (to avoid people spamming everybody with invites).

[sage tendon]

i dont see how that would slow anyone down

[lapis dock]

I think it would be better for the user experience to just but a cooldown on the invite command

[rancid arrow]

you could always just do nothing if they didn't type it right

[jagged ledge]

That makes more sense. Thank you for the suggestion!

[errant trout]

i'm not 100% sure if this works, but try the on_entitlement_create event?

[sage tendon]

Isn't that for server subscriptions?

[lapis dock]

I thought bot subscriptions were not available to the public. Only select bots?

[errant trout]

entitlements include application premiums

https://discord.com/developers/docs/monetization/entitlements#using-entitlements-in-interactions

[sage tendon]

dyno

dyno got it for sure

[errant trout]

subscriptions have been public for a while im pretty sure

ok yeah, looking through Entitlements are what you buy in a bot's store, and subscriptions would be SKUs

[sage tendon]

but.. what

[errant trout]

the event is used for both

or rather, SKUs and Entitlements are interlinked objects where an SKU is the core while an Entitlement is a specific instance

[sage tendon]

im so glad i dont have any monetization

[deft kestrel]

...i just wanted when someone buy something the bot send a DM to the user

[errant trout]

which is why i'm suggesting to use the event

i don't have monetization so i don't really know how it'll work, but give it a try anyway

oh i guess you can test them by creating test entitlements

[echo wraith]

Let's say I have a backend, and in that backend I need to get things about some guild. I don't believe pycord supports this. Is there a library or way of doing things you would recommend?

[little cobalt]

Why should py-cord not support that?

[echo wraith]

Can I do that with pycord?

Like calling the api without bot.run?

[little cobalt]

Yes

[echo wraith]

Wait I completely missed that LMAO

no but the token is in bot.run

so where do I put it then?

[little cobalt]

And?

[echo wraith]

I need to authenticate w the api

Like I run the bot somewhere. And in another place, I need to get stuff from the api

But not run the bot and connect to the gateway twice

That would make no sense

[mossy violet]

Any reason after using the command successfully two times, it says "the application did not respond"

    'red': ('🟥', 'Surnia in RED ALERT', discord.Color.red()),
    'yellow': ('🟨', 'Surnia in YELLOW ALERT', discord.Color.yellow()),
    'black': ('⬛', 'Surnia in BLACK ALERT', discord.Color.dark_grey()),
    'green': ('🟩', 'Surnia in GREEN ALERT', discord.Color.green())
}```

```@bot.slash_command(description="Set alert level")
@option("level", description="The alert level", choices=["red", "yellow", "black", "green"])
async def alert(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, level: str):
    if level in alert_data:
        channel = bot.get_channel(ALERT_STATUS_CHANNEL_ID)
        if channel:
            new_name, alert_message, alert_color = alert_data[level]
            await channel.edit(name=new_name)
            embed = discord.Embed(description=alert_message, color=alert_color)
            embed.set_author(name="Computer")
            await channel.send(embed=embed)
            await ctx.respond(f'Channel name changed to {new_name} and alert message sent.', ephemeral=True)
        else:
            await ctx.respond(f'Channel with ID {ALERT_STATUS_CHANNEL_ID} not found', ephemeral=True)
    else:
        await ctx.respond('Invalid alert level', ephemeral=True)```

I've tried adding error messages to appear in my terminal but they don't appear.

[echo wraith]

add await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True) at the top of your command code please

[echo wraith]

I just found out there is await client.login()

is that it?

[mossy violet]

such as

@option("level", description="The alert level", choices=["red", "yellow", "black", "green"])
async def alert(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, level: str):
    await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True)
    if level in alert_data:
        channel = bot.get_channel(ALERT_STATUS_CHANNEL_ID)
        if channel:
            new_name, alert_message, alert_color = alert_data[level]
            await channel.edit(name=new_name)
            embed = discord.Embed(description=alert_message, color=alert_color)
            embed.set_author(name="Computer")
            await channel.send(embed=embed)
            await ctx.respond(f'Channel name changed to {new_name} and alert message sent.', ephemeral=True)
        else:
            await ctx.respond(f'Channel with ID {ALERT_STATUS_CHANNEL_ID} not found', ephemeral=True)
    else:
        await ctx.respond('Invalid alert level', ephemeral=True)```
?

[echo wraith]

yup

[mossy violet]

I just get "Bot is thinking..." forever

[echo wraith]

Do you have any errors in your terminal?

[mossy violet]

Nope, the only message in my terminal is "Bot##### is online"

any clue what it could be?

[echo wraith]

1. Are you running other bots?
2. Are you running from a server?

[mossy violet]

1. No
2. This one's hosted on the same PC i'm typing on rn

[deft kestrel]

then just let it restfor time

[echo wraith]

Yeah

[mossy violet]

👍 🙏 I appreciate yall

[echo wraith]

https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/7229

@deft kestrel can you run ls /usr/lib/ssl/certs? Do you get an output or not? No need to send it

[deft kestrel]

ngl i doubt it will work

[deft kestrel]

im running WINDOWS

[deft kestrel]

that person is running linux

[echo wraith]

Man your server is on windows?

Ok

[deft kestrel]

who said im hosting server?

[echo wraith]

You said it was in a vm

[deft kestrel]

mhm

A WINDOWS VM

[echo wraith]

I have no idea honestly, that looks wierd, but probably the issue is broader than pycord only.

[deft kestrel]

ima go to the most trusted thing in the world. stack overview

[echo wraith]

Good luck

[mossy violet]

What is the ratelimit? I've sent the command 3 times in the span of a minute and it's rate limited me again

[echo wraith]

It is dynamic and depends on your bot and other factors

[mossy violet]

Ah I gotcha, danke

[echo wraith]

can you give me the output of pip freeze

[mossy violet]

[echo wraith]

ok thanks

just wanted to see pycord version

[mossy violet]

mhm

[echo wraith]

But this is wierd

[mossy violet]

Yea

[sage tendon]

rate limit in what way

[mossy violet]

I'm testing a new bot, sending ~3 commands a minute and I get rate limited on the outputs for ~500sec

[sage tendon]

show what you mean

[mossy violet]

WARNING:discord.http:We are being rate limited. Retrying in 68.41 seconds. Handled under the bucket "1257959406549864471:None:/channels/{channel_id}"```

[sage tendon]

are you renaming channels?

[mossy violet]

I am

[sage tendon]

Yea, channel renames have extremely low ratelimits

I think twice per 10 minutes

just avoid it if possible lol

[mossy violet]

Ohhh, that makes more sense then. I thought I was doing something wrong! I think for my use-case I won't need to do it more than once every hour or so. And only then for like 6 hours every week

[mossy violet]

I know a very basic question, but I'm rather new to python in general. is it possible to separate the different commands into different files from the main.py file?

[frail basin]

Yes

You should look into cogs

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

[mossy violet]

COGS, that's what I was looking for. I appreciate that so much

[errant trout]

if you want to use the api without connecting, use client.login and then refer to http.py to use the relevant methods. We cannot assist you with anything else as this is undocumented behavior, but here's an example py client = discord.Client() await client.login(token) await client.http.send_message(channel_id, "...")

[echo wraith]

Yeah I did figure it out. Thanks much anyway

And most of what I need to do is fetch things so it should not be too hard

[lethal loom]

hi, why i dont get the print in my console by the setup hook? can wehere helop me pls
Bot.py

class Bot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.all()
        command_prefix = commands.when_mentioned_or("-")
        super().__init__(command_prefix=command_prefix, intents=intents)

    # Cog Loader
    async def setup_hook(self):
        print("Hook: Setup")

    async def on_ready(self):
        # This is without the Hook but i need a start first before the botsa starts
        await youtube_db.setup()```
**start.py**

from bot import Bot
import os
from utils.funcs import get_config

if name == 'main':
bot = Bot()
for filename in os.listdir("./cogs/dev/"):
if filename.endswith(".py"):
bot.load_extension(f"cogs.dev.{filename[:-3]}")

if get_config("bot")["dev_mode"]:
    bot.run(get_config("bot")["token_test"])
else:
    bot.run(get_config("bot")["token_privat"])

[fresh sierra]

Setup hook does not exist in pycord

[lethal loom]

a other version of this i need a load he load before the cog loads

[fresh sierra]

Just load ur cog before the bot.run

[lethal loom]

this example is right?

from bot import Bot
import os
from utils.funcs import get_config

if __name__ == '__main__':
    bot = Bot()
    for filename in os.listdir("./cogs/dev/"):
        if filename.endswith(".py"):
            bot.load_extension(f"cogs.dev.{filename[:-3]}")

    if get_config("bot")["dev_mode"]:
        bot.run(get_config("bot")["token_test"])
    else:
        bot.run(get_config("bot")["token_privat"])

[fresh sierra]

Yep, you can do if you want
bot.load_extension("./cog.dev", recursive=Trye)

[lethal loom]

recursive can you tell me what this do i read in the pycord doku but idk what this do

[fresh sierra]

It does every file in ur folder

[lethal loom]

a ok thx

[sage tendon]

You cant make normal messages ephemeral

[mossy violet]

Right,

Would ctx.send be more appropriate?

[sage tendon]

you cannot make normal messages ephemeral :)

.send is a normal message

only interaction responses can be ephemeral

[mossy violet]

Ohhh, I see now. Appreciate it.

[sage tendon]

also, you dont have a context in events lol

[tranquil jolt]

This should be a simple one to solve, yet currently being a lil bit smooth brained lmao

I followed the installation guide found on the docs website, got my venv setup and such, yet the simple bot example won't run as it's unable to find the 'discord' module 🤔 My previous bot version was in discord.py, which worked with minimal issue, so i'm not sure whats exactly wrong.

my venv's python version is 3.12.3, and my pip list is as follows:

[lofty parcel]

You shouldn't have discord and py-cord

discord is discord.py and conflicts with the library

[sage tendon]

Uninstall both and only install py-cord

[tranquil jolt]

Still has the same issue unfortunately :(

[sage tendon]

did you uninstall both?

[tranquil jolt]

Even threw in a quick restart to make sure 🫡

yea

uninstalled py-cord, and discord, then reinstalled py-cord

[sage tendon]

make sure its actually using the venv then

it might be using the globally installed packages where you still have both installed

or none

[tranquil jolt]

this was it, thanks!

🫡

it wasn't using the venv oddly

[sage tendon]

Thats why i have no idea how to use venvs

Pycharm says it handles it, and it does, and thats all i need to know

(all the venv shit)

[tranquil jolt]

I ended up using anaconda at one point for a university AI class, and in the end it bit me in return because it caused a confliction issue and refused to install correct package versions and such :P

[sage tendon]

I've actually now looked up how to create a venv
amazing

actually not as hard as i thought

[tranquil jolt]

Does anyone happen to know if it's possible to get the legacy username of a user? I'd have imagined it'd be under ctx.flags, but it doesn't appear to be :')

[little cobalt]

python -m venv env

Its pretty simple

[edgy nest]

python -m venv <dir>

[echo wraith]

Until it stops doing it and then it sucks

[nova epoch]

From discord.User, you can retrieve:

• discriminator - the #1234 from the old usernames system. Will be 0 if the user has migrated to an @username.
• is_migrated - a boolean value showing if the user has an @username or not.

From discord.User.public_flags.all(), you can retrieve a user's flags (essentially badges) in which you could maybe fish out their legacy username#1234, if they have that badge enabled in their settings.

I haven't done any testing on this, it's purely theory, so it might not work. I think it could be worth a try, though, if it's really important.

[sage tendon]

what do you mean "legacy username"

[sage tendon]

discriminators are gone. every user is migrated.

[fresh sierra]

almost every

bot still got them

[sage tendon]

This isn't about bots

[nova epoch]

I know, I figured it was worth putting there still though because the discriminators are still kinda relevant (for app users)
The main point of that was the discord.User.public_flags, which I have now done testing with - there's nothing to do with legacy usernames

[tranquil jolt]

Damn thats kinda disappointing, as some website profiles that allowed discord social links may have an old reference to a users legacy profile, rather than having been retroactively changed post-legacy username removal. Especially as how legacy username may not always be the same username as current, kinda disappointing its not even grabbable through the public flags :’)

[sage tendon]

it's because you should never, ever use anything but the user ID to reference a user

if you only ever used user IDs there is absolutely no issue

[tranquil jolt]

Unfortunately in this case (speedrun.com) i don’t believe it’s possible to go from website social link -> discord userID

[sage tendon]

ah

yea but I get you
a lot of sites for discord stuff didn't even update to pomelo after all this time
it's not an issue it's just, "wtf are you even doing"

[tranquil jolt]

In the case of speedrun.com, they’re typically quite slow on the push to new features/updates. I believe the whole website staff consist of like… 6 or 7 people 💀

But yeah, curious how legacy username isn’t a public flag you can grab, given that it is technically a public flag

[sage tendon]

I think because they just don't want discriminators used for users anymore, at all

[tranquil jolt]

Does anyone happen to know of a faster way to respond from a command than ctx.respond? Felt my bot was pretty slow, so i've timed each chunk and the slowest by far is right at the end when the bot does await ctx.respond("Message")

0.17900514602661133   - getting user profile information from speedrun.com
0.0                   - checking SRC discord social-link
0.38216614723205566   - performing an account age check (0.0 from isolated chunk timing), and ctx.respond("Message")

ping is super low too

[sage tendon]

no

where is your server located

or you if you run it locally

[tranquil jolt]

it's being ran locally

[sage tendon]

where are you located then

[tranquil jolt]

Scotland 🫡

[sage tendon]

hm

[sage tendon]

and that's 382ms then?

[tranquil jolt]

Evidently so, its quite high for what i’d have expected

[sage tendon]

think thats reasonable

never measured it myself

and responding to an interaction does a fair bit

[rugged lodge]

earth round?
Most probably.

[red mist]

Yes

Takes a bit for me too

never measured it but if it takes infact too long you might want to use defer at some point

[sage tendon]

its normal

it goes from the PC its hosted on > discord > ??? > your PC again

[shell radish]

pc > man (n times) > underwater cable > man (n times) > cloudflare > man (n times) > discord > back or something

[sage tendon]

man?

[shell radish]

metropolitan area network

you may have heard of LAN

[echo wraith]

Is there an accurate-ish and efficient way of getting a count of online members vs all members in a guild?

I feel like iterating over members is wierd, and don't see how all members would be cached by pycord

[sage tendon]

well, they are lol

guild.members

[loud kayak]

Server members are cached when all guilds are cached upon the bot starting up. Assuming you have chunk_guilds_on_startup still set to True by default, that’s how it behaves. Guilds are chunked, and so are members of said server.

Helpers feel free to correct me if I’m wrong I haven’t touched any code in a year

[errant trout]

that is true, all guild members are cached by default, but what they want also exists separately

[errant trout]

see approximate_presence_count (it has specific requirements)

if you don't want to do fetches then filtering cached members by status would be better

(also fun fact, this works for guilds the bot isn't in by using Client.fetch_invite instead)

[lofty parcel]

Nziie is alive wtf

[loud kayak]

Ye I’ve been grinding cod

[echo wraith]

Thanks both of you for the help

[weary meteor]

hi all, so lets say I have a button which will change its logic based off an arg i pass into the constructor, i want this button to be persisten so id need to subclass it into a view, now how can i make it so it stays persistent and it keeps the arg and does the logic i need

basically one button that acts dynamically based off the arg i give it

[fresh sierra]

yes its possible

just pass the arg inside the class

for example if you need to pass a guild config :
for guild in bot.guilds:
bot.add_item(View(guild.id))

[atomic fern]

is this a bug?

    
  class ConverterFlags(commands.FlagConverter, prefix="--", delimiter=" "):

Failed to load extension cogs.Testing. Extension 'cogs.Testing' raised an error: TypeError: F
lag.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'

[upper flint]

Is it guaranteed that "on_ready" event will fire ONLY after all cogs and extensions have been loaded?

In other words, is it guaranteed that all listeners in cogs will be called?

[sage tendon]

yea

cogs have to be loaded before on_ready

[upper flint]

In docs it says that discord.Cog.listener() is equivalent to bot.listen(), but there is no once parameter in it. Is it just a typo or once parameter is not intended here?

[sage tendon]

I don't think it does actually, but try it

if not, it takes seconds to write that yourself

[wild prairie]

How can I get attachments sent with slash commands (through urls)? I'm trying ctx.message.attachments, but ctx.message is None.
They aren't ONLY posting images though, so I can't just assume the text is an image

[sage tendon]

The attachment is in the option you let the user attach the image with

or wdym through urls

[wild prairie]

meaning what?

I have a slash command with a contents field that users can post image urls to (as far as I know, you can't paste images to slash commands). I want to get that image

[fresh sierra]

how with autocomplete to get the first option chosen by the member ?

[sage tendon]

ohh, wait, i misunderstood i think

[fresh sierra]

ctx.options something ?

[wild prairie]

They aren't ONLY posting images though, so I can't just assume it's an image

[fresh sierra]

because its a response

.rtfm original_message

[sly karma]

3 results

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

[sage tendon]

so.. read the url the user is giving you (?)

[wild prairie]

#1132206148309749830 message

[sage tendon]

yea well what do you want me to do about it lol
guess you'll have to find out from the url's ending

[wild prairie]

yea well what do you want me to do about it lol
tf? I thought my question was quite clear lol. You're not required to answer if you don't know

[fresh sierra]

message = await ctx.interaction.original_message()
print(message.attachments)

[sage tendon]

????

[fresh sierra]

here you will get the message of the response of the bot

[sage tendon]

you are literally giving me an unsolvable problem
if you dont know if its an image then how the fuck am i supposed to fix that

and your question was anything but clear, tbh

because i still have zero clue what even happens in your command

[wild prairie]

if you dont know if its an image then how the fuck am i supposed to fix that
That's why I'm trying to get the attachments, not the text

[wild prairie]

Doesn't this reference what the bot sent?

[sage tendon]

isnt that what contains the attachment according to you tho

[fresh sierra]

ctx.message is what the bot sent

[wild prairie]

oh, then I was using the wrong command entirely

[fresh sierra]

what do you want to do ?

[sage tendon]

can you show us what your command looks like in discord

[wild prairie]

/add_quote quote_name:Metal Monsters quote_content:Cool monsters: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/902573110409175130/1258666123075915817/unknown.png?ex=6688dfac&is=66878e2c&hm=42f7b607274260d74c28bd1a5edc53883bb71922d88bbd08417f7cd90821f501&

Given this, I want to get the attachment's url. Except, I don't want to start searching for urls because it may not pan out that way. I only want to get what discord recognizes as attachments

[fresh sierra]

also what should i use here to get emoji from the guild + unicode

[fresh sierra]

so monster here is an str and not a discord.Attachment ?

[wild prairie]

Well, am I able to send an attachment to a slash command?
I figure discord still attaches it, no?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how discord slash commands work

[sage tendon]

You can let user upload images of course

well, files
you cant restrict it to images

[wild prairie]

oh, nice!

that's exactly what I need

[sage tendon]

discord.Attachment is the option type for that

[fresh sierra]

.

[sage tendon]

for the unicode, just, use the character in the string lol

[fresh sierra]

my goal is to get both

like for the user dont just put a random string

but i guess there is just no possibility to go that by itself

i will make a function

[sage tendon]

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

[fresh sierra]

this fail with unicode emoji

[sage tendon]

and limit the input length to 1

[sage tendon]

no clue then

[fresh sierra]

its just not possible, but a simple funct will sovle that

[sage tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/why-isnt-it-posssible-its-just-not-american-psycho-gif-26353597

[wild prairie]

Is there a way to make one OR another slash command option required?

[sage tendon]

no

just handle it yourself in the code

[fresh sierra]

wdym ?

like if you mean put some options requiered and other not

yes you can

[sage tendon]

they mean either this or that option

[wild prairie]

I need EITHER my content field required OR my image field required, but not both

[fresh sierra]

o

so yes no

[wild prairie]

it's fine

[sage tendon]

would be cool but discord completely forgor about slash command stuff

or modals

or anything

[fresh sierra]

can autocomplete display custom emoji ?

[sage tendon]

no

at least i'm 99% sure

[fresh sierra]

sad

slash with just a little bit more of caring can be so much better

[sage tendon]

but doesnt make money

[errant trout]

it's present on master or 2.6 release later

(note that it will trigger again on cog reload because there's no system for it to behave otherwise)

[trim bison]

what should i change in order to make dynamic cooldowns work??

@commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldowns.report_cooldown, commands.BucketType.user)
@client.slash_command(name="report", description="Reports user for an inappropriate behavior.")

from discord.ext import commands
from discord import ApplicationContext

staff = [857993843566968862]

def report_cooldown(ctx:ApplicationContext):
    if ctx.author.id in staff:
        return None
    else:
        return commands.Cooldown(3, 86400)

Please ping on reply, thanks.

[errant trout]

what exactly isn't working

[trim bison]

Sorry forgot to specify... I mean it just doesn't give cooldown to anyone.

[errant trout]

the command decorator should always be first

[trim bison]

@client.slash_command(name="report", description="Reports user for an inappropriate behavior.") first?

[little cobalt]

always first

[trim bison]

Welp, It worked with normal commands.cooldown before, ill try gimme sec.

Nope, still the same...

[sage tendon]

show your code

[trim bison]

@mass.command(name="lookup", description="Mass-lookups for threats in your server.")
@commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldowns.mass_lookup, commands.BucketType.guild)
async def mass_lookup(ctx:discord.ApplicationContext, minimum_violations:discord.Option(choices=["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"])): #type: ignore

def mass_lookup(ctx:ApplicationContext):
    if ctx.guild.id in guilds:
        return None
    else:
        return commands.Cooldown(1, 259200)

(different command, same issue)

Okay, I just noticed that different cooldowns work for discord.BucketType.user not guild

Oh

My

God

Sorry guys xD

[trim bison]

this helped thanks :d

[sage tendon]

i never knew there was dynamic cooldowns btw

definitely useful for my bot

[shell radish]

there's no shot

[sage tendon]

?

[trim bison]

Yeah I found out today too.

[little cobalt]

I can give you a example how you can add cooldowns to buttons

[sage tendon]

all good

[trim bison]

dammn this is so fire 🔥

messed up footer dgaf

[shell radish]

1 culprit(s)
c'mon, just do it properly

[trim bison]

ggah ok

as you wish

[fresh sierra]

What is dynamic cooldown and what ur use with it ?

[trim bison]

Different cooldowns for different users/guilds basically what ever you want.

[lapis dock]

Dynamic cooldown does not work per guild?

seems like a missing feature

[sage tendon]

how do you handle the cooldown response

[trim bison]

You can set it up

buckettype guild

[lapis dock]

ah ok

[trim bison]

wdym

commands.CommandOnCooldown?

[sage tendon]

how do you automatically send that cooldown embed

[trim bison]

exception

[sage tendon]

ah

[fresh sierra]

Ooo so for example a user with a certain role can use a command 1 time every hour while another can do it 20times

[trim bison]

yes

[fresh sierra]

Seems nice to prevent spammer as member for example

[trim bison]

yeah, or premium features

[fresh sierra]

Yeah true

[trim bison]

Okay, now, the cool part, how do I add one usage to the user?

report.cooldown.update_rate_limit(int(report.cooldown.get_tokens())+1)

is this the correct usage?

ping on reply pls

[echo wraith]

Do approximate_member_count or approximate_presence_count require the GUILD_MEMBERS intent?

[little cobalt]

[echo wraith]

It's not written there so I assumed no

But wanted to be sure

[fresh sierra]

you should need presence intents to get approxmiate presence

and so i guess the opposite

if u want i can try it quickly

[echo wraith]

That would be nice

[fresh sierra]

ok let my 5s

[echo wraith]

cuz i have not bot to test quickly, and discord's docs don't tell anything clear. Tho I assume it means intents aren't required, which would not surprise me since member count does not give you the member object itself

[fresh sierra]

without itents it return None, None

let me try with intents

even with intents it return me None

mb i didnt read the doc

wait

[echo wraith]

you have to set with_counts

[fresh sierra]

add fetch guild worked

[echo wraith]

without intents?

[fresh sierra]

yep

so intents are not needed

[echo wraith]

[fresh sierra]

i used intents.default()

[echo wraith]

At least that

cuz discord would NEVER have given me the intents for my dumb feature

[fresh sierra]

for what do u need presence ?

[echo wraith]

I'll send you in dm

[fresh sierra]

ok

[trim bison]

anyone? D:

[fresh sierra]

.tas

.tias

[sly karma]

https://i.imgur.com/VkRzeQJ.png

[fresh sierra]

and tell us

[trim bison]

yeah, thats the point, it didnt

[fresh sierra]

sad

i cant really try it because i dont have ur logic

[trim bison]

?

[fresh sierra]

like i never used dyanmic cooldown

[trim bison]

i am talking about any cooldown 💀
Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'update_rate_limit'

[fresh sierra]

pretty strange

let me try

@trim bison can you send me how u have setup ur cooldown pls ?

[trim bison]

sure

[fresh sierra]

found it dw

it was in the chat

[trim bison]

oh

yeah

[fresh sierra]

strange that for prefix commands it works, but not for slash command

[trim bison]

how did you find out

[fresh sierra]

nah im sutpid

cooldown just does not work for subcommand

without group

with group :

i think its like for the default permission, you cant handle it for subcommand but you have to handle it for the whole command

or you do a custom function

[trim bison]

how the fuck

[trim bison]

run it

pls

[fresh sierra]

ok wait

well no got the same error

i will try to debug that

[trim bison]

k

[fresh sierra]

issue come from the dynamic cooldown

Resetting the discord slash command cooldown is currently not possible.

from a stack overflw

idk if its up to date

here the update token rate

    @subcommand("debug")
    @commands.slash_command()
    @commands.cooldown(1, 3600, commands.BucketType.guild)
    async def test(self, ctx: LumabotContext, test: str = None):
        self.test.cooldown.update_rate_limit(int(self.test.cooldown.get_tokens()) + 1)
        await ctx.respond(self.test.cooldown.get_tokens())

does not work

i guess we just cant update it like so so you will have to handle it differently in ur function @trim bison

[trim bison]

wait so if it is a regular cooldown it is going to work?

[sage tendon]

both subcommand and @slash_command?

[fresh sierra]

No even a regular cooldown does not get updated

Maybe you can use reset_cooldown

[fresh sierra]

?

[trim bison]

does not work for both

[fresh sierra]

Yep if it was the question with or without sub command it does not updated the cooldown

[errant trout]

if you have the subcommand decorator, you don't need slash_command

[sage tendon]

why do you have both decorators

[errant trout]

and run update_rate_limit with no params

[fresh sierra]

Il usually not using command

[fresh sierra]

Cooldown is None in his case

[trim bison]

can't as cooldown is None

[trim bison]

this

[fresh sierra]

im doing like so normally

[errant trout]

what is subcommand

it's not even a decorator in the base library

[fresh sierra]

A custom decorator

To create sub command

It will here put the test command inside the debug group

For both prefix and slash

And lumabot.command will add the prefix and slash command

you might use either that : self.command.reset_cooldown(ctx)
or just handle it inside ur function

[trim bison]

nelo how do i reset the rates then?

[errant trout]

command.reset_cooldown

[fresh sierra]

.

[trim bison]

yeah, but i set it to 3 per day, so when someone is on 1 a day, it will reset back to 3, which can be abused

[fresh sierra]

if you set it 3 per day

why do you want to update the token ?

[trim bison]

so when user runs /report <anyone from staff> or /report <himself> it will give him the token back

[fresh sierra]

and in which case you want to not cooldown him then ?

[trim bison]

bro wtf

when user reports staff member or himself give him back the token

[fresh sierra]

like if when it does
/report it remove his cooldown each time

[trim bison]

no just when reports self or staff

[fresh sierra]

why put the cooldown since it will be remove for this member if you prefer

[errant trout]

handle it in your dynamic cooldown instead

[trim bison]

how?

[fresh sierra]

but is that a lib issue ?

[trim bison]

i check docs like 5 times nothing

[sage tendon]

by checking this.

or am i missing something

[trim bison]

no, when the cooldown is already active you cannot do that

example: 2 tokens out of 3

cant check for tokens as cmd.cooldowns is null

[fresh sierra]

cant you save that in a dict ?

self.reports = {}
and then check for each one

[trim bison]

no bro just

i want discord to handle that as they already handle cooldowns

[fresh sierra]

yeah but here it doesnt work right

[errant trout]

it's a little out of the way, but in a slash command you can parse ctx.interaction.data["options"] to get every argument passed

just check if the user id they pass is ctx.author.id

[sage tendon]

i think your requirements are just way too specific for the library to handle it

[errant trout]

and if so return no cooldown

[trim bison]

nope they are passing discord.Member

oh

[errant trout]

yes, discord parses that as an id

[trim bison]

wait

[sage tendon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationContext.selected_options
bit better / more direct imo

[trim bison]

you mean

[fresh sierra]

then check if ctx.author.id == member.id

[errant trout]

oh that's what it's named

[trim bison]

yeah but where do i?

[errant trout]

in your dynamic cooldown

[trim bison]

in the dynamic cooldown

yeah but

[fresh sierra]

inside the mass_function

[trim bison]

how

do i get

user

[errant trout]

as toothy linked above, you access ctx.selected_options

just print it and you'll understand the rest

[trim bison]

oh okay

is it dict?

[errant trout]

yes

[sage tendon]

check the docs :)

its all right there

[trim bison]

too lazy damn

thanks

brb on my way to check

[sage tendon]

docs should be open whenever you work on a pycord bot :>

[fresh sierra]

def mass_lookup(ctx:ApplicationContext):
    if ctx.guild.id in guilds:
        return None
    elif ctx.author == ctx.selected_options["member"]:
        return None
    else:
        return commands.Cooldown(1, 259200)

something like so ig

[trim bison]

yeah, i know lmfao

but the problem is

[errant trout]

(i don't think it's actually a dict so double check)

[trim bison]

i understand what your poin is

[sage tendon]

it is

[trim bison]

but

when the cooldown is already active

[errant trout]

i guess a list counts as a dict in json

[fresh sierra]

you can parse the error

and reset it then ig

[sage tendon]

actually mb the text is wrong

its a list of dicts

[errant trout]

it doesn't matter, in your dynamic cooldown you can just tell it to go through

[sage tendon]

the "returns" text is just worded wrongly

but each list item is a dict

[errant trout]

nah it says List[Dict[:class:str, Any]]

[trim bison]

oh okay let me try

[sage tendon]

yea, a list of dicts lol

[errant trout]

which is correct

[sage tendon]

but check the "returns" text above

[errant trout]

oh i see

[trim bison]

this wont work

[sage tendon]

again

[trim bison]

[{'value': '857993843566968862', 'type': 6, 'name': 'user'}, {'value': 'Racism', 'type': 3, 'name': 'reason'}]

i mean

[errant trout]

it's literally

the first one

[trim bison]

what is type?

[errant trout]

ignore it

it's just how discord parses types

[trim bison]

i cant use [0] tho

cause

if

i shuffle args

wait

[errant trout]

then check the name

[trim bison]

oh shit missed that

[sage tendon]

i imagine your options are required which assures the order is fixed

[trim bison]

are they?

[sage tendon]

you tell us

[errant trout]

you can typically assume they're ordered correctly, but it's good to check name regardless

[sage tendon]

but if the member option is required (which i hope it is) then its always [0]

[trim bison]

you can shuffle args in the cmd

[fresh sierra]

why ?

[trim bison]

but the output remains

[trim bison]

its list of dicts

[{'value': '857993843566968862', 'type': 6, 'name': 'user'}, {'value': 'Racism', 'type': 3, 'name': 'reason'}]

[fresh sierra]

it was more to give u an idea of how to handle it than to do it

[sage tendon]

p sure you cant with required options

[trim bison]

you can 100%

just did

[errant trout]

you can, but even when you shuffle them discord reorders them

[sage tendon]

yea id imagine its always in the "suggested" order you set in the code

[trim bison]

yeah thats i am saying

so ill keep it as [0]

hope no issues will come

[sage tendon]

good luck

[sly pebble]

heya, pinpin here, new question for you all: when you're using a slash command how do you make the bot listen for a user's input via reply?

[sage tendon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.wait_for

[errant trout]

you'd use bot.wait_for, but generally you're better off using a modal

[sage tendon]

damn nelo cmon

[trim bison]

i knew it would happen

[sage tendon]

i wanted to say that

[errant trout]

then do it smh

[sly pebble]

lol

[sage tendon]

i was too busy being proud of how fast i found it in the docs

[sly pebble]

you're like a pair of hawks

[errant trout]

did you convert the ids

[sly pebble]

ok i shouldnt be surprised one of you is a dragon

[errant trout]

fun fact https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/genindex.html

[sage tendon]

w h a t

[sly pebble]

blue jumpscare

[sage tendon]

but i could just use the search

[errant trout]

index is faster

[sage tendon]

still cool where is the link for that on the site

[errant trout]

nowhere

it's autogenerated

[sly pebble]

does a modal have some upper limit for the amount of questions you can ask?

ah 5 fields

[errant trout]

5

yeah

discord likes fives

[sly pebble]

should be 4

[sage tendon]

no

[sly pebble]

oh i wouldnt want it to be that way to be helpful

[sage tendon]

don't make modals even worse please

[sly pebble]

i'd want it solely so i can make this joke

anywho

thanks for the quick answer lol

[errant trout]

just edit the thumb to be out

[sly pebble]

oh true

[sage tendon]

ayo

[trim bison]

my id is the last one

print(int(ctx.selected_options[0]["value"]))
print(ctx.author.id == int(ctx.selected_options[0]["value"]))
print(int(ctx.selected_options[0]["value"]) in staff)

778657519476277309
False
False

[fresh sierra]

You maybe should print also the ctx.aujtor.id

And also staff

To check why it return false

[errant trout]

2nd one is correctly False, what's in the staff list?

oh wait

different author hmmm

[trim bison]

ids
neither 7... 9... is there

so

alt mentioning this account:

857993843566968862 997570531643629571
False
True

[fresh sierra]

Si its normal ?

[trim bison]

alt mentioning itself:
997570531643629571 997570531643629571
True
False

[fresh sierra]

Like the author and the member are not the same but the member is onside staff

Yeah so it works as expected no ?

[trim bison]

so how the fuck i got 778657519476277309

i didnt mention anyone

else

[fresh sierra]

Idk

[trim bison]

wait lemme test again for 429

again?

okay i see the issue

i know where is the problem now

i said that earlier

and you forced me to test it xd

[fresh sierra]

Show us the function that handle that

What thing ?

[trim bison]

look

this report_cooldown is checked only when there is no cooldown

when there is any active cooldown for the guild, its just removes one from the rate limit

like so

2 out of 3 -> api sees that there is an active cooldown so report_cooldown remains unchecked

[fresh sierra]

Can you show us how look the mass lookup ?

[trim bison]

def report_cooldown(ctx:ApplicationContext):
    print(int(ctx.selected_options[0]["value"]), ctx.author.id)
    print(ctx.author.id == int(ctx.selected_options[0]["value"]))
    print(int(ctx.selected_options[0]["value"]) in staff)
    if ctx.author.id in staff:
        return None
    elif ctx.author.id == int(ctx.selected_options[0]["value"]):
        return None
    elif int(ctx.selected_options[0]["value"]) in staff:
        return None
    else:
        return commands.Cooldown(3, 86400)

after executing one command with False, False states - next commands remain unchecked

[fresh sierra]

Ok and this is only trigger when there is no cooldown

Well I can’t really debug it for the moment so

[trim bison]

Nelo, any clues?

prob if there was a way

to shorten discord.Members by staff and author

OH

MY

GOD

just found vulnerability as fuck

you can cross-report users???

[sage tendon]

vulnerability lol

thats intended behavior

[trim bison]

oh

damn

i can just check of the user is in the server 💀

[errant trout]

yeah

[errant trout]

wdym

[trim bison]

now prob nvm

[trim bison]

but again

that would remove one token

[sage tendon]

just handle it

[trim bison]

BRO YOU CANT

LITERALLY

[trim bison]

.

[sage tendon]

man just write your own handler

you're trying to wrangle pycord so hard here and it aint working

[trim bison]

wdym

how do i handle it

you cant

[trim bison]

how do you expect me to handle it?

[sage tendon]

handle cooldowns yourself lol, just write some stuff

you have the entirety of python at your disposal, use it

[trim bison]

but that is not really the most optimial

[errant trout]

python was never optimal

[trim bison]

as long as discord handles cooldowns its easier and faster

[sage tendon]

you evidently cant do it with pycord because it wasnt made for cooldowns this complex and specific

[errant trout]

...this isn't handled by discord, it's handled by the library

[sage tendon]

Save your cooldowns to an sqlite file or whatever, it really isn't magic

this needs a custom system. period.

[trim bison]

ahh

so it isnt possible?

without command.cooldown working?3

[sage tendon]

pycord cooldowns arent made for something like this
I was already surprised dynamic cooldowns were a thing

if you really wanna get down to it maybe you can subclass the cooldowns and add the functionality to them but i'd just save the cooldowns somewhere and handle it myself

[errant trout]

it's probably possible but it's painfully hard to debug someone else's code

[trim bison]

can i dm you nelo?

[sage tendon]

and like, after checking the cooldown, you can just throw the cooldown exception yourself lol

this takes all of 15m to do

and if you look back at the chat we spent a lot of time, only ever coming back to "this doesnt work"

[errant trout]

i don't mind but i'd rather not help in dms, you'd generally be better off reading through the library code itself to see exactly how it works to fit your needs

[trim bison]

just want to show you my code, not exposing it here

[errant trout]

isee

[trim bison]

thanks, you got all requirements there

[sly pebble]

def date_check(message):
    if message.author.id != initiator:
        return False

    parsed_creation_date = parse(message.content, locales=['en-US'],
                                 date_formats=["%B %d, %Y", "%m %d, %Y", "%B %d %Y", "%m %d %Y"])
    if parsed_creation_date is None:
        return False
    return True

i've got this code

is there a way to just get the creation date back into the parent function

since i know that's gonna shadow

i know global exists but idk if there's anything better than that

[sage tendon]

return it? lol

[sly pebble]

its a check in wait for tho

does that actually get returned?

[sage tendon]

ah

[sly pebble]

i've got no idea how if so

[sage tendon]

yea, idk then

[sly pebble]

prolly just global then

oh wait fuck there's something called nonlocal

thats sick

[sage tendon]

what is that

[fervent surge]

whats the best way of specifying interaction contexts in a bridge command?

[echo wraith]

You mean type hinting?

[sage tendon]

bridge context

[fervent surge]

I mean when using a bridge command like:

@bridge.bridge_command()
async def command(ctx):
    ...

The best way to specify the new interaction contexts and if there's a way for backwards compatibility to ext (prefix) command guild and DM checks

[sage tendon]

bridge context

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.ext.bridge.BridgeContext
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeContext.defer
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeContext.edit
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeContext.invoke
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeContext.is_app
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeContext.reply
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeContext.respond
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeExtContext
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeExtContext.delete
discord.ext.bridge.context.BridgeContext
discord.ext.bridge.BridgeApplicationContext
discord.ext.bridge.context.BridgeExtContext
discord.ext.bridge.context.BridgeApplicationContext

[errant trout]

do you mean the changes made with user apps? or something else

[fervent surge]

I mean how guild_only is now deprecated and contexts are now preferred instead

[sage tendon]

ah

[errant trout]

i don't think we adjusted it for bridge yet, guild_only will still continue to work for now but we'll update it later

[fervent surge]

Cuz currently it's deprecated. And specifying the contexts argument in the bridge.bridge_command() decorator doesn't do the legacy prefix command guild_only and dm_only checks

[sage tendon]

2.6 isn't even out yet

and deprecated doesn't mean it doesn't work, it means it might stop working in any version past 2.6

i'd say wait for release regardless

[fervent surge]

I seem to of gone off topic. I meant the best way to specify the interaction contexts for bridge conmands

Is it just specifying it in bridge.bridge_command? Then I'm gonna make a feature request to make sure there's a way it will work properly with prefix commands

[errant trout]

it should? i've checked through the code and it's still compatible

why yield

[wide jasper]

did it with jsk

[fervent surge]

I've tested it and it doesn't seem to raise the guild_only exception

if it does somehow? send me some example code

[errant trout]

i tested just now and it seems to work fine? it's just the @bridge.guild_only() decorator

[fervent surge]

no, thats being deprecated

[errant trout]

Yes, I'm aware

We don't have an alternative in bridge yet

[fervent surge]

im talking about a possible feature that will work with the prefix commands that will replace bridge.guild_only

[errant trout]

So just keep using it until we do

[fervent surge]

ok, so there isn't any existing method

[errant trout]

Deprecated features won't be removed without prior warning

[fervent surge]

thats all I wanted to know

[errant trout]

It's also possible we keep the existing bridge.guild_only because bridge is outside of the api scope anyway

we'll see ig

[wide jasper]

any idea?

why i am not able to delete it

[errant trout]

What happens when you print channel.guild

[tired lake]

i have been away from pycord and python for a while. i just reinstalled visual studio code and have Pylcance and the Microsoft Python extennsion. If i do discord.whatever i get drilled down options, but if i do print(message. i get nothing. how can i fix this?

[errant trout]

probably typehinting message: discord.Message?

[sage tendon]

not just probably

[tired lake]

that worked. i dont remember having to do that before

ty

[sage tendon]

you have to

because python isn't statically typed

[vestal folio]

how do i write commands in py-cord that work on servers as well as via pn
so slash

please ping me

[fresh sierra]

what is pn ?

[vestal folio]

private mesage

with the bot

[fresh sierra]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands

do you talk about that ?

or about userapp ?

[lapis dock]

You can pass contexts into the command decorator. Note this is only as master right not but an release to pypi is coming soon.

[fresh sierra]

this is for userapp right ?

[lapis dock]

yes

Here is an exmaple
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_users.py

[fresh sierra]

doesnt normal /command appear in private message ?

[vestal folio]

thanks

[lapis dock]

yeah i guess so but I think they wanted user apps

[fresh sierra]

Ok i was just wanting to be sure about slash

[mild trout]

Hi, this may be a stupid question but since my bot is starting to get more and more complex i was wondering what is the best way to move commands/functionalities to different files. If anyone has an example it would be great

[sage tendon]

message.channel is not discord.DMChannel

is this the correct way to check if a message sent is outside of dms?

[sly pebble]

is one of your extensions causing the error

[silent shore]

its in the main file as u can see

show the full traceback please

[sage tendon]

what did you last change in your code

[silent shore]

its a new project i didn't change anything

[sage tendon]

seems good
that, or you check message.guild

oh

you cant load your cogs in on_ready

[silent shore]

i have been trying to fix it for like 2 hours or something

[sage tendon]

it must happen before that

[silent shore]

its a stupid error ik, i can't figure it out cuz im tried

[silent shore]

i mean i copied it from my old projects

[sage tendon]

great, but you cant do that if you have application commands in your cogs

load them before on_ready

[sly pebble]

just move it out, i have it like this in my code

[silent shore]

i don't have any extensions

[sage tendon]

ill never understand why people dont just bot.load_extensions("cogs")

[silent shore]

i mean im using it

[sage tendon]

so nothing in your /commands folder?

[silent shore]

nope

[sage tendon]

nope

[sly pebble]

does it automatically iterate?

[silent shore]

File "c:\Users\ahmed\OneDrive\Desktop\Coding\DiscordBots\Movies\main.py", line 95, in <module>

i mean it loads all cogs in the cogs folder
not sure if it checks subfolders too

[sly pebble]

oh neat

[sage tendon]

ah
yea

[silent shore]

huh
